Harry wasn't sure how this had happened. He had no idea what was going on and it was scaring him a bit. Okay more than a bit if he was to be truthful. One moment he'd been playing Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones on an Emulator on Dudley's PC the next here he was waking up in Renis. He was apparently in one of the poorer parts of the Kingdom. The village didn't look like much.

He got to his feet and looked around. In the distance he could see Castle Renis but it looked as if it were far away. He noted a blue screen in front of him.

You are now in the Kingdom of Renis.

You're Job is Novice.

You have no skill set or stats to speak of. Reach level 10 to pick your first job.

Harry was a little annoyed that didn't tell him much. He looked around with a frown and began walking he felt weak. He knew this feeling. It was hunger. Yes, he knew this feeling well. It was a common feeling he'd had growing up. The persistent blue screen drew his attention back to it. Where he was taught about Inventory, Skills, Stats, Equip screens. Then the annoying window finally went away. As Harry looked around it didn't seem like there were many people about in fact the only person he saw was an old man at a forage. He looked really too old to be a Blacksmith. Harry walked towards him as he had a green arrow over his head.

Green Arrows represent Quests you can go on.

Yellow Arrows are Quests where you meet only some of the requirements set to take the Quest

Red Arrows are Quests where you do not meet and of the requirements to do that quest.

Gold Arrows are secret Quests.

So according to that the old man was a quest he could do. Harry was nervous he only ever played games when the Dursley's were gone for hours he didn't know what this was about but he'd played Fire Emblem before and this wasn't part of the game. Was it different now that he was living in this world. Where in the story line had he arrived. How close to the Fall of Renis. It had to be before because he could see the castle in the distance.

Something caught his eye as he made his way down the street. Something sparkling. He made his way over to it and knelt down. The sparkles became a lockpick set.

You've found Lockpick Set Rank C.

You can use it to unlock locks.

You get 10 LUK

come on you randomly found it on the ground.

Harry rolled his eyes and equipped the Lockpick set. He shrugged and continued his walk towards the old man. He finally got there and without seeing anyone else as well.

To get information on a quest press the "?"

There was a "?" floating in front of him so he pushed it.

The old Blacksmith has lost the recipe to make Bronze Daggers.

'So I'm supposed to help this guy by finding the Dagger Recipe?' Harry thought 'This must be how I get my first weapon.'

So he accepted the quest.

"Oh dear, oh dear." The man mumbled as soon as Harry accepted the quest.

Harry was presented with options.

What's Wrong?

Hey, old man give me a weapon!

Ignore and leave him alone.

Harry was annoyed and wondered if he could turn these options off but for now he'd focus on the task at hand.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked. "Can I help you?"

So he could throw in his own choices.

"I've lost the Recipe for Bronze Daggers and the shipment is supposed to go out in two days." The old man said. "Could you help me find it?"

Harry ignored the choices.

"Of course I will." Harry said. "When was the last time you saw it?"

"Pippen my Apprentice had it." The man answered. "He has a lot of talent that boy but he thinks I am too old to teach him and that he can do better. His Pride and Ego get in the way of his brilliance."

"Yeah, I know a guy like that." Harry mused. "Where can I find this Pippen?"

After getting directions Harry headed out feeling very weak and vulnerable without a weapon of any kind but he didn't know what to do about that except finish the quest."

When he approached the area he could see a make shift forge and soldiers yelling at a boy who looked to be at least ten. He heard what they were saying accusing him of selling them faulty weapons.

"You get what you pay for." Harry called choosing one of the options. The soldiers and boy, Pippen looked at him. "Honestly, he's just a kid did you really think you'd get good quality weapons from him?"

The soldiers all frowned.

"There is an old man not far from here that would be glad to make you weapons." Harry explained. "He maybe old but he's good." Harry was just guessing at that. "You want good weapons go to him. I'll handle this kid. Just leave him to me."

The soldiers hurried off. Pippen looked scared.

"I'm not going to hurt you, Pippen." Harry told him. "Your Master is worried about you and you stole something from him."

Pippen nodded with tears in his eyes.

"I thought I could do it because Gramps is getting too old." Pippen sniffed. "I didn't mean to hurt him. I just think he's working too hard."

Harry smiled softly at him.

"Maybe you should tell your Gramps this." Harry said. "Now come on gather everything up and lets get back to Gramps."

Pippen was done in literally a flash. Harry had to remind himself he was living in a game. When they got back to the Forge Gramps was dead over his anvil. The soldiers all looked confused and were closing the scene to people who'd appeared out of no where. This game was getting on Harry's nerves already.

"GRAMPS!" Pippen cried. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY GRAMPS?!"

"We didn't do nothin, kid." one of the soldiers sighed. "We found him like this. Where are your parents?"

"I aint got none." Pippen said, "Gramps was raising me to be a Blacksmith like him."

Harry felt his heart ache. Would this had happened if he hadn't accepted the quest. He shook his head of course it would have. Pippen had said his Gramps was working too hard. There was a commotion at the village gates and fire blazed up.

"HEY! YOU GOTTA PAY FOR THOSE WEAPONS!" Pippen screamed, as the soldiers took weapons out of the Blacksmith shop. He caught several little bags of money as the soldiers ran to defend the village.

"Everyone evacuate the village!" Harry yelled, "Hurry!"

Everyone took him at his word and began scrambling to their homes to get things they would need to leave. Harry thought that was stupid but here Pippen was doing the same thing. He was packing up the shop. Harry saw a bandit heading their way just as Pippen put the last thing in whatever Inventory he had. Harry grabbed the boy's hand and ran. Pippen kept up rather good. They left through the village's secret exit with a lot of other people it lead straight into the woods. They went in a different direction than the others though.

"Where are we going?" Pippen huffed.

"To Renis Castle to warn the King of Bandits in our Kingdom." Harry answered, not even looking at the conversation choices.

Pippen-1

You're reputation with Pippen has risen. He likes you better now.

Pippen is a Blacksmith.

A Blacksmith is a person, in this case an NPC, who can make weapons.

Pippen Blacksmith-1

Pippen can only make Bronze Daggers and other Bronze weapons. But he needs the recipes.

They'd gotten a good distance before they'd stopped they could still see the Village burning in the distance.

"We need to eat." Harry sighed.

Pippen looked up at him.

"I know how to hunt a little." He said, "I can make traps to catch food." He pulled a Bronze Dagger out of his inventory. "Here, it's one I made so it's not very good but it should do for now."

"Thanks." Harry said.

They were soon laying in the bushes watching as two rabbits neared their trap. Harry stared hard.

Observe-1

You can get information on people, things, just about anything.

He smirked to himself a skill at last.

'Observe'

Rabbit

Level-1

Food- 5

He guessed that was how much food he could get from the rabbits. They were soon caught in the trap. Harry hurried forward and killed them. In a puff of smoke, which Pippen seemed oblivious to, there was a small pile of loot on the ground.

Rabbit Pelt x 2 Rank E

Rabbit Meat x 2 Rank E

Rabbit Foot x1 Rank E

Rabbit Foot discovered!

10 LUK

Rabbit Feet are rare and considered lucky. Equip for best effect. This item can Refined.

He also got

10 c

He'd gotten money. He put it in his inventory.

'What is Refine?' He wondered.

To Refine something you must have two items of the same Rank. Press on one of the items and press Refine.

Since this is your first time it's free for everything in your inventory.

Harry shrugged. Pippen was busy setting up a fire so he pressed the Rabbit Skin. Sure enough there was an option to Refine. There were other options but they were blacked out. He pressed Refine and then was prompted to select the other pelt. He did then pressed Refine again as he watched the two pelts became one and the Rank changed.

Rabbit Pelt x 1 Rank D

Harry blinked at it not really understanding. But he did the same with meat. Then cursed he would have to catch two more Rabbits.

Rabbit Meat x 1 Rank D

Will fill 10 hunger

Harry quickly caught two more rabbits.

He resisted turning Rabbit Meat from Rank B to Rank A when he'd combined the new ones that he had. But he did turn the Rabbit Pelt to Rank C.

Rabbit Pelt x1 Rank C

15 c

He'd had 20 c but he'd used 5 c to get the Fur to Rank C.

"Okay, Pippen I got us some meat." Harry said, walking over to the fire and pulling the two Rank D meats out of his inventory. "Lets cook these and eat."

Pippen nodded. They put there meat over the fire and in a flash they were both burnt.

Cooking -1

You'll burn food 99% of the time.

Regardless they ate it. Harry hated it but he was used to eating burnt food at the Dursley's so what did it matter and Pippen didn't seem to care either. After putting the fire out they were off again. This time at a brisk pace. Harry's hunger pains had faded. He equipped his Rabbit's Foot then stared at his dagger.

Bronze Dagger Rank E

6/10

Harry assumed that was how many uses of the dagger he had left and cursed this kid wasn't very good at making them was he. Then again if the Refine held true for weapons as well maybe he could improve the one he was using. He glanced at his side as he tucked his dagger away after equipping it. He wondered if Pippen knew how to Refine weapons. He could only ask.

"Hey, Pippen do you know how to Refine weapons?" He asked.

"A little." Pippen admitted, "But only Bronze Weapons. Why?"

"Well, I was wondering if you would Refine my dagger here. You know make it better."

"Of course." Pippen nodded. "I owe you big time. You saved me from the soldiers and got me out of the village. I'll do whatever I can to help free of charge. I'll get your Dagger to Rank A tonight when we stop. My Forge is able to be transported around. I'll then Refine some of the other daggers I have so we can make your Dagger a Green Class. That's even stronger than the Colorless Class you are using now. It'll make it Rank E again but it'll be a stronger Rank E. I would like to get it stronger but that's all the materials I have right now."

"Thanks, Pippen that would be great." Harry smiled at him. "Oh, by the way. My name Raiden."

Pippen beamed up at him.
