Akihabara

Like the day before Nat found himself waking up at around mid-day and now that he was in the safety of a city where fighting was prohibited he continued on his exercise techniques of swimming before eventually pulling himself out of the pool and drying himself as well as ensuring that his clothes were dry. As for food he was once again glad he could cook as glancing at the other adventures revealed that they had not yet discovered the techniques of making edible food it almost came to a surprise to the wizard when he noticed that his food tasted better somehow. Then he remembered that he had a multitude of sub classes one of which was chef allowing his quality of food to increase suffice to say he would ensure that nobody else tasted his food less he be swarmed by people who would want him to cook all day to satisfy their taste buds.

Still as he looked around the city of Akihabara he could feel old magic it was far stronger here than anywhere else he had encountered true to high level players were powerful but they did not have this feeling of refinement. In fact this magic despite feeling foreign was similar to his own the wards which covered the cities preventing violence were intent wards rather than just no weaponry wards as such he could fling his spells around without a care so long as he had no intention of harming another person.

As for the area this place was different the air was more moist than the outside area and the vines and foliage was thicker strangling the old shattered concrete buildings and asphalt roads as for the cent of the city it was quite organic as the plant wildlife filled the area. As for the players which dotted the landscape they were mixed a few seemed happy gripping their weapons tightly as they planned to go hunting from some type of animals others were merely having a conversation but the majority looked downtrodden bored out of their minds frustration shown on their faces as there was little to do.

Boredom could drive a man insane there always had to be something for a person to do work was generally considered best as it kept the mind occupied and the average person was not capable of being a philosopher thinking about the complexities of life forever nor were they authors who could write books in their free time. He had read that back in the first world war that boredom was feared by soldiers among a great many other things as there was nothing to do and during such a highly stressful time, with nothing to occupy the mind or action to be doing than ones morale would suffer terribly and this was what the majority of people were doing.

It was the dark and forgotten side of history that people forgot so often when they talked about the middle ages they referred to the great wars and castles that dotted the landscape of knights fighting against one another either on the field or in tournaments. So often they forgot the average man and woman who would work the shops or fields working long hours to get what little food they could there was no real respite for them aside the odd competition they may have spare time for so long as it did not run the risk of interfering with their crops.

Undoubtedly this would be the first time for a majority of people that they had experienced such boredom and for so long after all back home if one got bored then they could decided to visit the local shops or cinema go to a restaurant with friends. There were also the choices of reading books watching videos on the internet learning a new subject if they so wished or in the case of probably all people here besides him played games allowing them to pretend that they were something that they were not.

He would not begrudge people of playing games whilst he had never done it himself due to a lack of time he knew that over the years it had become a truly professional Art and it was Art after all besides books he could not think of any type of medium where one truly descended into other worlds. For a long time books had been dominant and still were but most people could not vividly imagine in perfect detail what an author wrote instead they only had a basic idea but images allowed for a person to see what one could not imagine.

And this showed itself it may be biased because he was literally in the game world but this scene of a post apocalyptic world was right in front of him he could physically see the cracked black streets that were made of asphalt the crumbling old flats and skyscrapers that had once dominated the landscape. There was also the physical feeling's of this place as the sun bore down on him and the gentle breeze blew past his face as well as the chatter of the local environment whilst the average game could not do all five of the senses they unlike books could do arguably the two most important of all for the everyday life.

Whilst all of the senses were important for the average person they would more than likely use sight and sound as the core of their everyday living after all when you awoke the first things one would recognise was what you saw and what you heard. Taste and Smell were senses that one only truly recognised when it was a powerful thing or used on purpose whereas Touch was something that occurred in the background unless one wished to truly experience the feeling. Sight and Sound was incredibly useful when I came to food you would look at it and avoid it if it looked wrong or what you considered attractive whether it was jewellery, people, food as well as a great many things, in fact in the modern day sight could even be considered the most important sense. After all one required sight to read true one needed to hear but when one read after a certain age it was in their head and required the ability to see what was occurring. As for sound like all the senses it protected you warning you of danger an incredibly strong example was music he could think of no other sound or collection of sounds that could affect a person's behaviour so much. If one wished to be calm the pace and temp of the music would be slower with longer lasting notes consenting of more gentle elements like violins, flute perhaps even a wind charm on the other hand however if one was to shorten the notes and speed of which they are played than it invokes action in the minds of people.

For an example during a fast moving fight loud heavy hitting notes and instrument's would be used most often of which was a drum and electric guitar if one listened to bands such as Dragonforce, Sabaton and Hammerfall it was in complete and utter contrast to something light Beethoven or Mozart. Sound stimulated the mind in different ways after all one could not listen to a heavy rock band whilst trying to peacefully relax and clear one's mind and it was certainly not the music to play over the image of a picnic. And the same was true in the opposite direction one did not listen to long calming music when in the middle of a fight it distracted the mind two much and felt wrong like it was unnatural but that could be attributed down to how life worked. When violence or combat occurred the sounds of life increased whether it was the howl of a wolf which had found its prey or then the prompt sprinting after it where as when it was calm there was less sound after all a loud noise indicates worry and danger where as the everyday noises that one would occur did not instead being calming to the soul. After all if you were in the city and a loud bang occurred you would shift your attention to where that sound had originated from whether there was any real danger or not where as if soft more quite sounds occurred you would be less likely to look but become comfortable with it.

As for how this related to the current topic well the game had improved his senses alongside his magic something which was notable as he could hear father and see in more detail then he could before giving him a better sense of surroundings.

Rolling his eyes he once again realised that he had gone off on another tangent his mind going on the local surroundings to then focusing on video games as an art form and then onto the physical senses. But then again the average person would find him focusing on such an obscure thing strange and was why they would find it difficult to think complexly about things which were not important relative to the present.

Either way for the people who had been forcefully dragged into this world they would struggle to cope the average things that people in the first world took for granted no longer existed. There was no water running taps, supermarkets to buy their normal everyday needs, no electricity to run their appliances or internet to connect to one another the middle ages was boring and the often romanticized fights were brutal battles where people got slaughtered and feared for their very lives not knowing if that by the end of that very day they would be alive. The players though had the advantage of resurrection on the last problem since they could come back to life and whilst others would relish the chance to live in such a world to have all these powers and abilities it would get old and that excitement would fade.

Sure he loved the experience of combat but the immediate rush that one experience at the start of gaining sudden power disappears he had seen it with the muggleborns students when they arrived at Hogwarts for the first time. They arrive are thrilled about having magic fantasy running through their heads as they learn about their gifts but as the years wear on it disappeared what had once been thrilling and exciting eventually turns into embarrassment as they become adults not believing how excited they were for something so trivial.

Life for most people was boring there was hardly any doubt about it and was why adults admired youth not just because of their physical strengths such as being stronger and faster more reactive but because they missed that feeling that one had of new things. Whilst he had never experienced it fully and had always considered it strange when he was younger and learning to become a duellist he now did childhood was important it was a stage of innocence before you learned of how dark the world was. The average child did not care about politics or about history, economy or any other things they considered grown up stuff instead they lived in their own private worlds where things were important and their blissful ignorance of the world was obvious to those on the outside.

That was when their teens became important it was a stage of growing out of their ignorance and becoming more aware but at a safe pace rather than popping it instantly; over time they start to notice things they had not before and pay more attention to it not much at first but as the years went on they paid more attention to it. A thirteen year old would still have more childish tendencies throwing temper tantrums on the off occasion at sixteen they start to reject the world as the knowledge of what really occurs becomes more obvious and to do that they become more arrogant almost as if they wish to both desperately cling to their childhood and ignorance whilst severing the same ties added with hormones they try to become more dominant wanting to take control and rule but not having the knowledge to do so. Finally at the age of nineteen they have since lost their childish ignorance becoming truly aware of the world both its good and it's bad they also realise that whilst they are the next set of leaders of the world they have to gain experience and understand eventually using that knowledge that they have gained in later years to try and change the world into what they believe is best.

But then again he could be wrong he was only fourteen years old an had never experienced either of those two stages of life instead having being brought up to be mature and know of the dark side of the world from the start so he was a person looking into the environment making observations and notes alongside hypothesises whilst never being involved to truly understand.

Anyway how did this matter well the younger a person was, the more likely they would require something to occupy their mind and games were a brilliant way to do so but now that had stopped the game turning into reality. They in a sense had entered the child stage stage except this wouldn't take multiple years to finish rather a year at most in his opinion.

This meant that he would have to plan contingencies if boredom continued to grow than people would find any manner of way to entertain themselves and without technology as well as also having being granted super power their newly found hobby would more than likely include fighting one another. The amount of destruction this would bring outside the safe main cities would be catastrophic his memories of a high level player carving a crater in to the ground filled his mind as did the ruins of Hakone.

War was an incredibly easy thing to turn to and this game focussed heavily on combat with players fighting monsters with great strength but then again it was one thing to imagine such a thing but another to do it in real life. It was just like when children discover that there are taste testing jobs available making them go mad and happy with glee at the idea of eating sweets like cookies and chocolate it wouldn't be until later when they discover that easting the same thing every day grew old very quickly when you use to have choice.

Still he took his mind off the topic of a possible war occurring and to what he really wanted to focus on and that was the magic which emanated around the cathedral. The building was up ahead it was truly different to the rest of the old crumbling buildings of Hakone besides the Guild Meeting Hall. The Cathedral was made up of what appeared to be fused stone as not a single mark of area of the cathedral showed the blocks it was made of instead looking like it had been sewn together with absolute beauty like wizards structures did when they made castles. There were marks in the walls cuts which were perfectly equal and ion many different patterns but focusing more on the graceful curve almost Celtic like rather than much sharper pointed lines of other civilizations. As for the material used he couldn't tell but then again he did not work in construction although he was able to tell that whatever material was used was not a naturally occurring one back home as the colour of the material was turquoise. Another other odd thing about the structure was the serious dark shade of blue the windows had which were decorated with the same turquoise material in a crisscross pattern.

Analysing the design of building easily identified to Nat that whoever had built this game were more interested in European medieval history for architecture than that of eastern nations such as China and Japan. And whilst some of the buildings he had come across were of Japanese designs he couldn't help but gain this feeling that they were a token piece of history and culture something which was made evident at Hakone with the stone block castles and curtain walls they were not something you found in the East. In fact from what little time he had experienced in Japan traditional houses of the nation were built with wood rather than with stone true they did have stone buildings with tiles but if you looked back to their oldest structures they were made from more flammable materials.

Europe's oldest buildings from his experience were made of stone from things like the Coliseum, Castles, Churches and Cathedrals he was not a person who studied the thing; but it was clear that the nations of Japan preferred at the time materials that were warmer, lighter and easier to manage where as the west had more taste for stone which was heavier, harder, less flammable but also far harder to work with.

And looking at this obvious European inspired design seemed wrong it just looked and felt wrong in Japan sure most nations in the world kept their boring and uninspiring skyscrapers but the buildings that were created before had a very national and regional feel to them. As such looking at a building of such design was just looked so out of place if he had been creating the game he would have tried to incorporate the local nations structural design's even if he was creating a new culture from scratch.

As well as feeling wrong and looking out of place in the city the geography didn't seem to match the building either geography very much defined a nation and is why at least on Earth that during empire building time colonies and there prompt nations were bigger than their counterparts. After All it's far easier to take land when if there is nobody living there and even if there is the general lack of advancement in such places it makes them appear to be barbarians who couldn't use the natural recourses located on the newly discovered land. And since this world took after Earth after a nuclear apocalypse then besides the use of magic any remaining survivors would not be advanced enough in the medieval era to tear down the old structures and use their materials and as for mining he had learned that katana's had been made to a general lack of steel on the Island. This only meant that in the modern day at least by logic that any new civilizations should seriously struggle with getting hold of metal unless they scavenged all the pots and pans in buildings which was a funny mental picture.

Still after changing his attention from the appearance of the building he focused on the physical magic surrounding it and already he felt wrong. The magic surrounding the odd structure was not inherently dark or black but it very much had the feeling of death and of the soul it didn't exclude an aura of happiness but rather one of age similar to that of the wards that protected the city. After staring at the door for a few seconds he pushed them open and walked in.

Immediately the feeling of death and the soul increased surrounding him there was no attempt to feel his life force which was strange instead it just continued to shine performing its role of brining the dead back to life. In the structure he simply decided to take a seat and close his eyes allowing him to focus close on the pulls and draws of the place on how it danced and interacted with the world. It wasn't a pleasant experience but then again it was neither an unpleasant one there was no pain or him bursting into flames for being a heretic.

As he felt the magic he began to feel a connection cautiously he began sending pulses towards it following the connection he suddenly found himself viewing a shore and a very strange feeling of tranquilly. Physically the experience was confusing despite his body still very much being on the church he could very much feel the sand underneath his feet and the waves as they went in and out turning his head he was met with a sight he never once thought he would ever see.

There in front of him was Earth floating in space with millions of stars shining behind it brightly like Christmas lights taking in the scene he could easily see how the light bathed on part of his planet whilst the remained in darkness. As this occurred he could also see it turning as the island nation of Japan slowly moved to the left the scene was nothing that he could describe beautiful calming and relaxing and then it stopped his eyes opened and he once again saw the inside of the Cathedral. The reason for this had been simple he cut the connection as all of a sudden he felt the same magic that had brought him into this world smash against his mental barriers seemingly focused on trying to access his memories but it failed and in self defence he cut the connection preventing access to his mind.

Standing up from his position he drew his magic internally to his eyes allowing his version to change from one of normal colours to that of magic. Mage sight was a difficult spell to perform and used only by the most powerful and experienced wizards even could only access it thanks to the power he had gained since coming to this world. With the ability now activated he could physically see how the magic moved almost like lay lines except the lay line was major in both power and length wit it connecting to the very moon and back something on which never happened on Earth as all lay lines went around the planet and neither on or to the moon. Either way the connection the moon seemed to be rather important or something to be explored turning around the face the rest of the building he noticed that the curved patterns of the structure were glowing like runes would.

Curious he approached the left hand side his magic seeing spell still up peering into the design he frowned unlike the runes he was familiar with when they were small and had the appearance of either letters or symbols there were just plain long lines. Still he did not want to risk losing any important information which could provide invaluable information when he understood more; as such, he summoned some a few pieces paper and cast a spell drawing everything he saw onto it. This occurred a few times as he made diagrams of the connections the runes the insides of the cathedral all of which were done in both magical sense and normal colour scheme.

When that was finally completed he put the paper in his pocket as well as copying it and sending a copy to the bank with the needed details as a back up so the people wouldn't burn his stuff. With that done he turned around and walked out of the Cathedral apparition was useful and easier but he didn't want to get to the point where couldn't walk and it was an okay day outside.

As he walked across the streets of Akihabara taking in the sights of the city his left hand relaxing on the hilt of his sword as he did so he noticed a street vendor who seemed to be rather popular considering how many powerful players were located there. This grabbed his attention he debated the argument of approaching when there were far stronger players but decided to do so however since he had no wish to be recognised in the future he cast a few glamour charms.

Thanks to magic his normal appearance seemed to have changed as he sported short spiky green hair ear rings a broad sword and light armour oh how he hated this look but nobody would recognise his normal appearance later on if things turned sour.

With his protection cast he headed towards the street vendor ensuring to keep as low a profile as possible when he finally arrived he was able to see what all the fuss was about. Laid out on the vendors a stall was some type of fancy glass bottle that was similar to the one he had seen back in Hakone used for healing oneself but these seemed to be more decorated and more useful if the current purchase's was anything to go by. As the people that were currently serving the products to the much more powerful players them seeming to know what the potions did and henceforth ignoring a player like him who looked weak and not very knowledgeable on the game.

Wanting to gain the information needed on the glass vials he used the old spell for finding out information from people of Legimens as such he once again found himself delving into the mind of another person intent on finding knowledge. Inside his mind he stimulated the mental process of these vials and discovered that these vials were actually EXP potions which doubled the amount of experience points a player could receive in a time period as well as increase the level cap of monster under you that you could gain experience from as such he could see why they were popular.

Happy with the information he didn't dig deeper to discover where they came from and instead looked at his current amount of cash discreetly to see if he could afford any of the vials. It turns out the amount they were selling the vials for an exuberant amount he couldn't afford one even if he tried as they were going for one hundred thousand gold per piece far more than he could afford as of currently.

Although that didn't mean he was unable of learning the secret to such a thing and brew them himself again curious about where the potions originated from, he delved into the sellers mind again allowing him to discover that they were gifts given every day to players between level one and twenty nine since as soon as you hit level thirty they disappeared.

With this information he walked away he had only been a low level for a short time but he in theory should have four of the potions all of which he would not use if he wanted to try and reverse the process and brew them from scratch then he could not afford to waste them. With this train of thought he put them in a box transfigured it into a bird discreetly gave it the relevant information to the bank and sent it on its way giving it a piece of sausage as thanks.

With that distraction out of the way Nat continued his journey towards the transport gates walking past many different players one group of which consisted of a handsome man wearing green Japanese clothes and surrounded by a harem of women and one butch man who look seriously out of place back home. Either way the concerns of the normal people did not concern him nor did the gaggle of women who wanted their leader to walk with them honestly it was strange.

Just like the cathedral from before the transport gates felt both foreign and similar to his magic but thankfully these gates did not rub him in a wrong way such as having the feeling of death and should magic hanging heavy around them. Instead the transport gates felt dead magically like they once had power but had been rapidly drained obviously the last destination requiring a very large amount of power to do such a thing when he could only imagine that normally people would use these gates on an everyday basis. Like back at the cathedral he closed his eyes and followed the magical trails that the gates had and once again he could feel himself moving and standing still like it was some kind of astral projection. Unlike the cathedral which had deemed to teleport him to the moon these gates took him to many different places giving him a rough view of the area all of which were cities even though he didn't know what their names were.

When he returned he started to analyse the gates but yet again there were no clear symbols of words only long thick curvy lines that crisscrossed the designs in massive contrast to what he had been educated with. It was ingenious really back home to do runes one had to be able to read and write the language since it was done in many different symbols but these were just long thick lines that didn't amount to any specific shapes he would love to study them but until he was able to get some kind of device to act as a Rosetta stone then he would be left in the dark.

Still from what he was able to tell with both his magical sense and just feeling the magic in the air the gates had lost their charge and that was it there didn't seem to be any internal damage to the circuits. Pressing his hand onto the left side of the wall he was very much aware at the amused faces of other people in the city that were looking at him undoubtedely they probably believed that he was some stupid kid acting out fantasies since he had gotten rid of his glamour's. Refusing to let this deter him he summoned his magic and allowed to flow freely like a gentle river out of his hand and into the structure.

For the people who watched him the result wasn't obvious in fact some of them laughed as all they saw was a kid apparently placing a gentle hand onto a big stone pillar however for the blonde haired wizard the result was immediate. With his magic flowing into the gate he could start to feel the gate waking up as his magic began to sink into it giving it a pulse and almost like a gear started to activate the internal runes. This continued for around ten minutes he refused to gush out his magic in a torrent as he had no idea of how much magic the gate needed nor if he did not have enough try to suck it out of him. The other reason for this speed was to allow him to gain a deeper understating of the magic he was working with since as the magic filled the gate the magic began changing what it was doing at first it started to suck up the given magic hectically as if it was a starving man in a dessert but as it got use to the taste of magic once again the gate began relying on him less instead swallowing up the magic that was in the local ground and air as support until it stopped feeding off him and as entirely self sufficient.

Suffice to say when he stepped back taking a look at his surroundings everything had stopped staring at him and the now active transport gate with a myriad of emotions and others after realising what had occurred rushed back to go and inform others that the transport gate was now operational. With work done that he never thought he would do he simply turned around and walked down the steps casting another smoky light trail spell this one in contrast was aimed to find the library at the same time had was also quick on his feet ignoring anyone who would dare to speak to him.

With him disappearing down a road most people were concerned with the now operational transport gate some including the leader of one of the three main supply guilds walked up to the now active gate running his hand across its rippling almost transparent surface. Then deciding to test it out he walked through it only to blink as he only ended up on the other side of the gate still in Akihabara at first this man was confused but then quickly realised what had happened and what needed to be done

Akihabara

Guild Meeting Hall

"Maryelle, Maryelle" The door to the hall of the guild known as Crescent moon burst open revealing a spiky shoulder length blue haired man as ran into the room yelling at the top of his lungs his battle attire of a breast plate and headband was still on as he had been outside and forgotten o take them off in the excitement of the situation.

"Shouryuu whatever is the matter" A stern voice replied a small amount of annoyance shown at how loud the young man was shouting to gain their attention. This woman's name was Henrietta and she had a round face with honey coloured hair and eyes the colour of chestnut she was also wearing a stern face her glasses covering her eyes made it amplify the effect.

Realising that he had yelled so loudly and had since disturbed the rest of the guild he gave a quick apology before relaying the amazing thing he had just seen".

"Someone just repaired the transport gates" Eyes went wide at that news and suddenly the chirpy voice of a large breasted woman with long blonde hair and pointy ears showing that she was an elf intervened in the conversation.

"Really who was it" Henrietta stared down the young member of the guild trying to invoke answers somehow by osmosis.

"I don't know he was young though around fourteen I would say and he wore black with a strange sword" Henrietta frowned.

"I can't think of any players who match that description can you Maryelle" The elf in a green runic with orange and brown stripes made a notion of thinking about it before pouting and then turned back to her usual happy expression.

"Nope but now we can get to Suskino and rescue Serara after that we can then meet up with Shiroe and Naotsugu" The bright blonder yelled happily at the thought of reuniting with her lost guild member.

"And little Akatsuki too don't worry I'm coming too my adorable little Akatsuki I can't wait to dress you up in this beautiful dress" Now if Nat had been able to see the current reaction he would have considered the people strange especially as a muggle seemingly pulled out address from nowhere and was having fantasies about dressing up a person much older than him to make a her seem even more adorable like a kitten.

"Well we don't have time to waste we need to go now" Henrietta agreed as did Shouryuu since they all turned around and headed to the changing rooms equipping warmer clothing on as well as their weaponry if they came across any monsters whilst they waited at the city in the north they could deal with them.

Akihabara

"Crusty" The man in heavy armour who was currently drinking a glass of water looked up to see one of his top tactical advisor Rieze walking up to him quickly intrigued to see what was important he turned his attention onto the blonde haired bright blue eyed female sorceress.

"Yes what could have happened to make you storm here so quickly" He spoke calmly a little confused he was enjoying his drink it was one of the few things which tasted like it should do rather than the mushy taste of other substance located here.

"Some kid managed to fix the transport gate". That did grab his attention wanting to know what had occurred he invited her to sit down opposite him something which the woman did in fact do.

"Now tell me what happened". Making herself comfortable the young woman began her story.

"Well I was by the transport gates and decided to have a small break when some kid walked up to the gate he looked young so I ignored it since he also looked like a new player who doesn't know what to do. Then he put his hand on the gate and after ten minutes the gate came back to life I tried to test it out but it didn't work, but if I was to guess it was due to the other gates not working".

"I see this is interesting if we can find this kid and ask him to fix the transport gates then we can regroup with the rest of the guild" Rieze had already guessed that the discovery of this player was paramount after all if the gates could be fixed then it would make life a little bit easier.

"I already thought of that I thought you should know in case you wished to find and recruit this person" Crusty nodded gently rising from his seat following his action his blonde haired tactician than proceeded to follow him out of the tavern they were in with their new task of locating this mysterious player.

Nat was really starting to hate the decision he had made reactivating the gate had drawn more attention then he wanted which was none it wasn't a case of now being famous he was use to fame back home it was just the case of having people actively searching for him. Thankfully magic was what saved the day for him as he sat on top of the guild meeting hall the typical set of protection spells cast to prevent them from finding him. Whilst the gate had been fixed it still didn't work as the others would need powering and undoubtedly the other players would ask him either how he fixed it or when he was planning on fixing the rest which his response would be when he has purpose to head towards another city. And since he had only arrived that very morning he had no intention of packing up his things and being frog marched from city to city if the other people wanted the gates fixed they could do it themselves or wait until he did arrive at another city.

His main concern was learning about the moon because for whatever reason the Cathedral had a lay line attached to it and the celestial object seemed pretty important as that was where people went where they died and promptly had their memories accessed. Now normally in this situation one would read and investigate about a destination before setting off but the moon wasn't exactly a place you could just take a plane to nor what is a place where one could apparate or port key to due to its location. Apparition into space was quite easy but that was for things like satellites as the distance was a lot less than one would first think but again he had no idea nor was he willing to test out if he could use magic to propel himself to the moon and wait for however long it would take for him to reach the moon.

However even if he could not arrive at the orbiting spherical shape by normal means did not mean that there not a way to arrive there after all if lay lines could connect to a cathedral then whenever these things were made in the games history had to have also had a device for reaching the moon in case shit hit the fan. It was very much for this reason why he was reading all the information he could about the moon but aside quotes and comments about how beautiful it was or even what type the moon was during major battles in history.

Looking up to the sky above him he stared impassively in the general direction of where he believed the moon was located but he had no idea since it was bright out and he hadn't exactly found the topic of planets and celestial bodies interesting to research it. Still he knew that if he wanted to learn more information about this world and how they arrived then he needed to go there and that would only done by finding a portal to it since building a rocket was out. Deciding to use the point me spell he cast it silently and wordlessly allowing his wand to float in the air as he did so the result was what he expected as his wand just kept twirling indicating that something was blocking the spell from working.

"Bugger" Putting the book down he looked downwards at the rest of the city a large gathering had drawn up outside the gate attempting to use it only failing even though the gate as clearly operational. And another group was obviously searching for him if they way they were searching the streets was any indication it made him think of what he had to do in this world normally he would read books and work between the lines to get the answer. However this was a different world it was a game where normal methods of doing things could not be applied his knowledge on the subject of video games was small and limited all that he knew besides that they used sight and sound as well as being incredibly varied was that they typically had some kind of story like in a book. This got him to think if this world once originally had a story perhaps if he followed it then it could lead him to more clues which in turn would allow him a higher chance of discovering what he believed was a portal that allowed to transportation to the moon and the reason the thought it was a portal was because muggle's were obsessed with portals when it came to fantasy.

But first he would continue reading books up here on top of the guild hall most people would not have paid a close look at his appearance instead they would have been more concentrated with the activation of the gate. He would also prefer to start a long epic quest in the morning if he was honest starting one in the middle of the afternoon with it approaching dinner did not surround interesting at all that was unless some kind of evil dragon suddenly appeared creating storms and summoning meteors to crash into the planet for no fucking reason other than plot. Then again this was a game and undoubtedly he would come across a dragon or two.

"So what was all that about" Shiroe turned his attention to his friend of Naotsugu as he looked at him a curious expression on his face as he finished his talk with Maryelle.

"Apparently someone managed to fix the transport gate in Akihabara" The guardian blinked before Akatsuki replied.

"Truly my lord" Shiroe nodded in response as the petite assassin questioned the information that they had been sent.

"Man that sucks we're only one day from Suskino and the transport gate is fixed what waste of walking" Fixing his glasses Shiroe turned to his moaning friends and replied.

"No it wasn't whilst the gate in Akihabara was fixed the others haven't which prevents any of the gates from working" As if trying to indicate what he meant Naotsugu nodded his head along with the words that the once legendary tactician of the Debauchery Tea Party said.

"My lord how did this person fix the gate" Curious the assassin looked at her lord obviously wishing to repair the gate in Suskino.

"I don't know Maryelle says that the person who fixed it hasn't been seen since but they don't have much of an image to go if since they paid more attention to the gate than whoever was fixing it." Slightly annoyed the guardian rubbed the back of his head trying to take away the taste of what he had eaten for a different better feeling even if they weren't related.

"That's annoying though I take it we're still going with our original plan of getting there and then taking Serara back on griffins with us"

"That's right we should get some rest tonight Akatsuki can you take first watch"

"Of course my lord the enemy wont dare attack you in your slumber" Accepting her talk Shiroe prepared himself for sleep before drifting off.

So the first major change of the story has occurred and this will carry through but it will not be important at the moment as people are making it out to be in the story. Nat has also a small amount of fame but not much since there are only a few details to go off.
