A/N Hello! Hello! AND WELCOME BACK TO "Wandering Spirit" ok so to clear up some things. A) Derin is not [The Gamer] so while he has stats, perks, and skills he is unaware of this fact. Thus he is unable to level himself and any gamer things that happens will be for you guys, Derin will be unaware of it happening.B) If you were worried about it, this is all canon so said so by Akallas Von Aerok himself. SO without further ado.

Disclaimer: I own only Derin Saxes, the character's are owned by Kishimoto and the world is owned by Akallas Von Aerok,( Naruto, and Re: Gamer respectively) Please support the official release.

Day: 24

Do you remember that feeling of wonder you got when you were a child? That the world was so big that you never would be able to see all of it? What happened to the idea that even if you traveled for your entire life you'd never be able to see all there is? It shrivels up and dies, dragged into a back alley and beat down by the thing called life. You start to realize that the world is actually really small. Eventually even I began to lose the wonder of it all, after years of walking in an attempt to see everything, I had started to think that I had seen it all. But this city had managed to take that belief, tear it up and throw it into the trash. Trolls, Imps, Faze, Fairies! That wasn't even all of them. Now I'm man enough to admit that I locked myself away from the world for a day in order to process all of this. But I haven't seen all of the city, but in all honesty, I almost hoped I never would.

Walking down the street, I waved happily at the fairy that had sold bme some fruit yesterday, Ionia if I remembered correctly. I was never all that good with names, hell I forgot my brother's a couple of times in the past. Walking down the street, I noticed when the number of monsters began to diminish, and humans started to become and more and more common. It seemed that my "race" had gathered and secluded themselves, at least as much as they could considering that monsters surrounded them on all sides. I didn't blame them to be honest, you can't go your whole life being told that monsters would kill you on sight, and then having that be reinforced by the fact that monsters likely would kill you on sight most of the time. A shake of my head before I decided to go in, after all might as well pay a visit.

I pinched the bridge of my nose to try and filter out my annoyance, even though we were the most robust and hardy species, we had a tendency to fold whenever we were defeated. Still, even in the darkest of times we could bounce back and become a burning inferno. Until then we would lick our wounds liked kicked puppies. Walking towards the nearest person, I waved and he gave a small wave back, before taking the pipe out of his mouth and tapping it on the floor next to him.

"Howdy stranger, what brings you to this part of town?" He said lightly, a friendly smile on his face. I raised my eyebrow at his greeting, "Howdy? Who says that anymore?" Shaking my head as it wouldn't due to get distracted, I took in a deep breath to center myself.

" Names Derin Saxes. I have a couple questions." Hearing this he moved his pipe back into his mouth and let it hang.

"Louie", he said simply before moving his hands in the universal motion for ask away.

"How long have you been living here?"

Louie rubbed his chin in thought.

"I'd reckon... two months? Two and half?" I nodded, taking a seat on the ground next to him.

"So how long has this been a little human district?"

"Hm... How long has Ironwood had humans?" Setting down the pipe he stretched and leaned back, a lazy aura beginning to form around him, "It happens all the time, after all even in all human settlements you get divides and such, people who would rather be around people like them, then to be around new people."

"Yeah, I know that pretty well. You'll never see a noble interact with a peasant."

We shared a nod and stared towards the sky. "So, how long until you think people start to actually come together with the rest?"

"Eh? I don't know."

I stared.

He stared.

I continued to stare.

He winked.

I shook my head as I stood and cracked my back, "Well this just makes up my mind."

"Que?"

"I'm going to live here."

"Oh um... Sure, good for you?"

I felt my face go blank, "You didn't need to comment, just fade into the background as I come to terms with my extravagant plot that will shake the world to its core. Possibly inciting a revolution of concepts and ideals." Blank stare. "Don't worry, during my flashback of all the people who inspired me, I'll be sure to have you flash before my eyes."

"Umm, go get 'em tiger, I'll be rooting for you to, uh, win this... Yeah."

================================= Day 28 =====================================

I held the bridge of my nose, trying hard to stem the headache forming. Damnit Cole your habits rubbed off on me. Silently shaking my fist to the sky, I looked down to the paperwork, there was a fair bit of it, so I had spent all of yesterday and today filling it out. I wanted to throw up, however I ignored it and forced myself to finish. Putting the final paper in the stack I flicked out my wrists trying to relieve them of that burning feeling they got after writing for too long. Standing up I grabbed the papers before stuffing them in the bag. Time to go and see to becoming a citizen.

Inside of the place I came face to face with the leader of the Oni race Shirou, he stared at me with a raised eyebrow, questioning why I was there. I reached into my bag and held up the citizenship papers. This caused him to let out an "oh" and take the papers from me. I followed him as he sat at a desk, it was just after school so I caught him by the school building(did he meet him at the school or are they IN the school?), he looked through my papers nodding his head every once in a while, seeming to finish up he turned to me.

"Alright everything seems to be in order, I'll be sure to bring this to Chief Ruto." He stood, following suitI reached out my hands.

"Thanks" I said happily and he raised an eyebrow at the action before reaching out and taking my hand.

"Odd. Most humans don't like touching monsters." At the mention of the other humans who lived in the town my smile turned to a frown.

"Well I hope to show to you that I am not like most humans."My voice was resolute, at least I hoped it was, it was hard to tell if he believed me or not.. "After all, I'm far too awesome for anyone else to be like me." I gave a final wave to the oni before I turned out and walked out of the building. The walk back to the inn was nice, purpose and resolve now filling me, all there was to do now was wait for Chief into the dining area I smiled brightly at the barmaid Iris, she was an elf with short dark blue hair, and, well, a great body, like most elves were known to have. Unlike most elves that I would have tried something with, she was only half elf, her other half was orcish,from her father... Olur... And he did not like me one bit. Still Iris was nice enough that the constant threats of mutilation and castration almost didn't bother me.

...Almost.

Walking up to the bar, Iris sent me a shy little smile., "So Iris" I lightly asked,causing her to fully look at me, "What's today's special?" ,

Her smile grew brighter as she looked over the menu, "Well if you came earlier you could've had some eggs, I mean you can still have some but now it's gonna take a little longer to make. However right now we're serving a nice sandwich composed of beef, lettuce with various spices and such."

"Well could you toast the bread and put the egg on the toasted bread?" I asked and she nodded before moving into the kitchen. Iris was a bit shy, due to not knowing many people as her family was constantly moving around, and the fact that her father was an actually intimidating orc that could and would rip your face off if you talked to his daughter or, lord forbid his wife, probably didn't help. But if you could get her talking about food or archery then she could go on for hours about it. It was cute actually. Suddenly I felt a hand wrap around the back of my shirt before lifting me clean off the floor.

"I thought I told you to find another Inn human." The voice growled out and I smiled nervously. I was six foot two inches a respectable height, however the Orc holding me was a whopping seven feet eleven inches, and he was layered in muscle.

"Oh, C'mon Olur I'm not doing anything wrong." I said with my arms crossed and eyebrow raised, this would look better if I wasn't suspended in the air. He growled at me which was cut off by a wooden spoon flying out of the kitchen smacking Olur in the face. A voice rang out following said instrument of battle.

"Put Derin down Olur, I already told you we're not kicking him out!" This caused me to smile and look towards the kitchen.

"Why not!"

"Because he pays his rent-on time, and it would be oh, I don't know, not polite?" Olur stared meaningfully at the window leading to the kitchen.

"Thanks Sabrina, for a second there I thought the old man was gonna toss me on my ass!" I said before another spoon came crashing into my face which caused me to grab it in pain.

"Language young man"

"I'm twenty two!" I whined, Sabrina coming out of the kitchen,

"And I'm older than you, so listen to me."

"Fine mooom" I drawled out as Olur dropped me onto the barstool. It was at that moment Iris came out and gave me the food, which got a smile to come across my face. She set the plate in front of me and I thanked her with a smile before digging in. Iris stayed and we started to have a pleasant conversation.

"They're good for each other aren't they?" Sabrina said lightly which got a grunt from Olur. She smiled at her long-time husband, "Oh come on Olur, you knew this day would come up eventually" she said, causing Olur to sigh.

"Yeah I know... But just because he gets along with her doesn't mean they'll become involved... It doesn't damnit." he growled, more to himself then his wife which caused Sabrina to giggle at him.

"You're a big softy, you act so tough but your wrapped around your daughter's little finger" she teased, which caused the Orc to blush at her words, putting her hand on his cheek patting it a couple of times, "Don't worry Olur I'm sure your precious daughter will never forget her daddy." A growl before she delivered the Coup de grace. "I mean he's pretty good looking, just imagine how cute our grandbabies will be"

At first Olur nodded, agreeing with his wife at first, after a second though he began to slow down before he froze as if only now realizing what she had said. A second passed, he stood completely motionless. Soon red came to his face and he roared out "Human!" before charging towards me, I yelped before bolting of the chair.

"Im castrating you right now!" He yelled, I yelped before diving to the side, avoiding his hands as he tried to grab me.

"Why? What did I do?"

"You don't need to know! Now die!"

Sabrina couldn't help it as she started loudly laughing, ignoring her daughter who was trying to figure out exactly what happened. Getting her laughter under control, she put her hand on her daughters' shoulder, "Don't worry sweetie your mom just went a bit too far with a joke."

Hearing this Iris just blankly stared at her mother, who smiled cheekily in return.

==============================Day 30 ============================

Today I would be meeting with Chief Ruto, apparently he had some interest in me, something about a bit of a special position due to my experience. Following Shirou into the building that housed the SS ranked troll I couldn't help the small bead of sweat that rolled down my forehead, while I wasn't worried about him attacking me for no reason, it didn't mean I wasn't worried about the man who could end me with a flick of the wrist. Cole was a S-ranker, but even with that knowledge, I felt no reassurance, even Cole wouldn't stand much of a chance against the man.

"So" Chief Ruto began, causing my head to snap in his direction a bit too fast, grabbing my neck I let out a hiss of pain, however Ruto ignored it and continued on "Shirou here tell me that you want to join our city."

"Oh yeah I would like to do that." I said still spinning my neck slightly in order to relieve the pain

"Why?" Ah why, here it was again, the most simple of words, with some of the most diverse of meanings.

"Well at first I just wanted to come here to see the monster city you know, i heard a lot about you guys in my travels." I said simply and Ruto nodded at this, however I wasn't finished, "I spent a couple days just walking around admiring the fact that it was a Monster town however then I went to where the humans are" At this my stopped speaking as my jaw locked for a second however I shook my head and continued.

"Well in all honesty, I've never really had a place that I could call my home. As long as me and my brother were ok then anywhere would really do... But my brother wanted me to settle somewhere and I was like, why not be a part of history of a monster village to house one of the only SS ranked beings in the entire world, so I'm trying to settle here."

"So, the entire logic behind you moving here, is that it sounded like a fun time?" I scratched the back of my head at the blunt way he explained my reasoning.

"Well when you put it like that it sounds stupid... But that is the long and short of it."

Chief Ruto stared, long and hard, for a bit I was worried that he was going to attempt to implode my organs, a bigger part of me worried he could actually do that if he tried, before he just chuckled. Not a roar of laughter, nor a sarcastic laugh, just a mildly amused chuckle as if I told him a pun. Hey laughter was good, better than organ implosions anyways.

"Of all the half-baked ideas I've heard since becoming chief, that's a pretty funny one."

I gave a nervous smile as I waited for him to continue.

"Onto to business, would you like to be a scout?" I stared blankly at him "After all, it's not many days we find someone who's traversed just about every single type of land, has been in every single major settlement, and is a human." I smirked at this.

"Well when you put it like that, I am pretty awesome huh?" A raised eyebrow caused me to cough nervously, "I mean, yeah a scouting position sounds great, never was one for city life anyways."

"Good. First however, you're going to Iskan." He said and I tilted my head

"What for?" I was nervous as to who this Iskan was, and what he was going to do to me, Ruto's grin seemed to grow a bit as he spoke the next words.

"Combat assessments."

Standing in front of the troll I kept my stance rigid and my posture as good as it could, Iskan seemed to nod at my efforts before looking at the sword on my side.

"A sword eh? Where's your shield?" He asked lightly, I swallowed a bit of air before speaking.

"A shield only slows me down sir, I'd much rather dodge." Iskan nodded at me, he was tapping a wooden stick into his open palm. He hummed at me and I was getting more nervous by the second.

"Well if you want to be useful to Ironwood City then you can't die, if you get hit you die and since you prefer to dodge to blocking... Well you'd have to be pretty good at dodging, so Dodge!" And suddenly he lashed out at me, I tried to lean back, however due to the surprise of the blow, and how fast Iskan had swung the stick it smashed into my chin. I fell to the floor groaning in pain, Iskan came forward and knelt down his voice a growl

"Don't worry human, it gets better", stabbing the stick into the ground next to me, "soon your body will start to numb the pain and you won't be able to feel anything." I couldn't help the small whimper that escaped, I was never a fighter, not truly at least. I didn't have honor, didn't care to improve beyond where I was. I'd much rather talk my way out of a situation, but now that talking was taken away from me, I couldn't help but to think that I had made a mistake, Iskan's laugh didn't help at all.

"Welcome to hell human."

And this was how my Citizenship, Training, and Recruitment at Ironwood City had started. All because I had to talk to some old bastard named Louie, and had to get a fly up my ass about how humans acted. Standing up I let out the breath I was holding, glaring at Iskan I bit my lip, I wouldn't allow this to stop me, with a roar I threw myself back into training. After all,
