Chapter 4
A young man slept in his bed lost somewhere in the summoner's dormitories. He went to sleep half conscious and drunk as hell. On his way back, he walked into (too) many walls and several summoners, everything to give him a nice reputation among them.
Finally waking from his drunken sleep, he had the worst hangover he ever had. His heart was beating in his head like a drum and his stomach no longer knew if he was hungry or was about to throw up all it contented. His whole body seems like it was made out of brick due to how stiff and heavy it was.
He gather all his remaining strengths in his arms and sit himself up before throwing his unstable legs on the floor. After many failed attempts, he stand up and walk to the kitchen. He poured water into a glass and drank it all. He sat on a chair and stared at the wall in front of him until someone knocked on his door. The young boy went to the door and open.
Yo, Max, not to hangover, dude? asked a slightly less hangover Ezreal.
- Oh man! My worst hangover, and you?
- Well... I've seen worst.
- What were you doing?
- Nothing, just coming to see how you were feeling and taking you to the library to teach you about the matches.
- Yeah, Zarikan told me I have three days to get prepared, but, shit, I don't know where to start and only got two days left!
- Don't worry, I'm on it. Fallow me!
They walk to the library, a twenty minute walk with the gods forsaken stairs and the after-drunk state they were in. Finally reaching the library, Ezreal bring Max to a section dedicated to everything match related. He took several books and gave them to Max.
Here, those books contains everything useful for us, champions, during matches and about the Fields of Justice.
- Thank you, Ez. Don't know where I'd be without your help!
- Still searching for the restaurants. Ah! Ah! Ah!
- Ah! Ah! Ah! Yeah, you're right!
- So, following me to the front desk?
- Right behind you, boss!
Max signed document confirming he borrowed the books and they went to the restoration area. They picked food and sit to a nearby table, talking about the last night.
That second beer pong game really killed me, you have no idea!
- Oh, don't be so sure, I've also drank two glass of shroom beer in ten minutes, that would kill anybody, except Gragas.
- Yeah, that guy drank it like it was nothing all night long and we were dead after two glass.
- This guy drank alcohol when he was a baby, I'm freaking sure of it!
They finished their food and split up for the day. Max went to his room, sat in his bed and red all the books while drinking water, he wanted to get rid of his hangover as soon as possible. He learned everything, but the part he liked the most was the five howl books dedicated to items. He found some items that would be pretty useful for him, like the Ravenous Hydra and the Ruunan's Hurricane.
The rest of the day went on pretty smoothly. He went to the restaurants for the supper and then went to sleep. During the night, he dreamed of his home world. He saw himself in front of the Emperor's fortress once again, staring at the massive metal gate, the rebel army behind him. He lift his hand and point the charge before running forward. The rebels collided with the imperial garrison and the two army clashed and fight in an horrible scene of massacre filled with the smell of burning flesh. Both sides suffered many lost that night.
Standing in the middle of the fight, Max saw him, the Emperor himself, standing on top of his gigantic black spider in his shining black armor, shield and sword at hand. The enemy watch him intensely, pointing his sword at Max in a "I'll crush you like an insect" stance, then ordered his spider to climb the wall and enter the fortification. Not supporting to see his enemy slipped away, he killed the guard in front of him and throw a crystal ball in the air.
The ball fissured and more and more fragment started rotating, forming a huge spinning sphere of crystal. Coming out of the crystal screen, Max guardian, Elementalis the thirty headed black dragon, let out a mighty roar, frizzing the two army in their fight to look at him. Seeing Max jumped on his guardian, he rebel army regained a new will to fight. The crystal Elemental flied to the Emperor's tower, seeing the giant spider entering the door of the top floor. Jumping on the balcony, Max saw in horror Elementalis taking a DCA bullet straight in the chest and fall to the floor in a last roar of fury, giving his power to Max. The crystal skulls flew to him and he totally obliterated the door. He enter and killed every single guards in front of him. He rush down the corridors, killing all the peoples in his path. Entering the door, he saw the imperial couple standing in the throne room, their spiders hanging over the two thrones.
*Bip bip! Bip bip! Bip bip!*
Max woke up the next morning, covered in sweet and partially wearing his full body armor. Dissolving the crystal covering half of his body, he stand up and get back to reading before someone knocked to his door. He put a jeans and a t-shirt and, feet naked, open the door. In front of him stand a young summoner. He was about the same size with brown messy hairs and a smile on his face. He reached out a hand and said:
Hi, I'm summoner Reachy Shadow Holio, but everyone call me Shadow, nice to meet you.
- Hi, Shadow, I'm Max, nice to meet you too, answered Max, shaking Shadow's hand with the same smile on his face. How can I help you?
- Well, you see... started Shadow, scratching the back of his head, do you know about the way we, summoners, get to use champions?
- Yes, I read about it, something about a contract both of them have to sign, am I right?
- Yeah, but do you know we have to pay champions for that?
- You want to sign that contract with me? Well, dude it would be a pleasure!
- So you're ok with that!? happily asked Shadow.
- Hell yeah, man! Do you have the contract with you?
- Well not really, we have to go to the registration office for that, it's just down this corridor.
- Let me just put my shoes on and I'm right behind you!
Max sign the contract and Shadow gave him 7200 IP. They wave each other goodbye and split after Shadow informed him he would summon him tomorrow for an entertainment match. Max spend the rest of the morning simply walking outside the institute, getting a peck around the Institute. He then went eat, where he bump into Janna and Lux.
Hi, Max, how are you today? Asked Lux.
- Hi, ladies, I'm good and you?
- We're fine, answered Janna for both of them. Wanna take a bite with us?
- How could a possibly refuse two beautiful ladies like you, Max answered, bowing and extending his hand in a gentlemanly manner.
Both women blush lightly and Janna giggled. They took food and sat to a table next to the window.
I was wondering, how can I buy a deed to build myself a home?
- Well, there not much deeds left around the institute, started Lux, but you can go to the mail area, it's where the deeds are sold. It's like a building inside the Institute.
Thank you Lux, I'll go see that after this, but would you, ladies, mind to accompany me, I may need help of someone who know around here.
- Sure! they both exclaimed happily.
The group finished eating and they went to the deeds sellers. They locked at the giant map that showed all the lands, sold or not. The watch it for quite a long time when a seller came and ask if they needed help. They answered they were locking for a valid land to buy. The seller went to the back store ant came back with his arms full of various maps. They watch close up maps of lands for hours before Max found the right one. When he asked the price, the answered surprised him.
Well, this one is 150 000 IP, but it's quite big, so you will have plenty of place to make yourself at home.
- Well, I only have 10550 IP left, can I make a security deposit?
- Sure, sir. If you pay 7500 IP now, I can locked this land for one month, but if the month reach it end, you lost the priority and we keep your money.
- What his the average pay rate of a champion? Max asked the two girls.
- About 50 000 IP a month, answered Janna.
- Shit! I would be 89 450 IP short!
- Don't worry, you can increase you pay rate by 90 000 IP if you do side works for people around Runeterra or started your own commerce.
- So I'll do it!
He pay the security deposit and they went next to the job center. Max get himself a job on a construction project at Piltover for a remuneration of 100 000 IP for the month if he manage to build the owl structure all by himself, two risky bet in less than a hour.
They pass the rest of the day together in the mail area, in clothes stores were the girls asked him what he thought of this dress or these shoes, even bikini and bras, plus they made him tried out some outfits. He tried a V-neck and the girls concluded immediately it wasn't his style. He also tried many pants and shorts before swimming suits and glasses. At the end, he take three short, two jeans, five shirt and a swimming suit. The girls insisted to pay for him so he invited them came to his house once it would be finished. He accepted the deal and they went to Max room. He prepared super for the three of them and they spend the evening at the table talking about the day. Finally, the two women left and he went to sleep, he had to be ready for the next day's battle.
