A\N: I tried at first to use Japanese honorifics like San or Kun but do you guys think that's necessary? Or should I just try other honorifics? Some fanfics do it but I'm not that grounded about it, just feels like more work.
Helushka means: "Fighter"
Maphe means: "A new kind of joy"
When you go to sleep, sometimes you just wake up the next day feeling like the whole night passed by like it was just a minute ago, more so if you sleep like a rock. But when that doesn't happen, usually we get what can only be called...dreams. They can either make no sense, being a mixed-up movie from your memories and thoughts, or turn out to be a tranquil place in which all your desires reside.
...Then again it can be really confusing when dreams tend to be a bit...to livid.
"...Huh?"
When opening his eyes, a black-haired guy suddenly finds himself in an environment completely different from what he remembered last night before going to bed...which was him in a bed and inside a bedroom.
Shaking off some confusion he lifts himself, seeing what appears to be a big lump of earth covered in fresh greenish grass who the latter was standing on, and what more! It was floating in the air like magic and moving to who knows where.
"Hmmm...Ok, this seems unusual, but no need to panic, what was the last thing I did before I went to sleep?"
Yamcha remembers fading into unconsciousness in the cheap Inn bedroom he found in the city, now he woke up in a whole different scenario the moment his eyes opened. It felt similar to that time in the forest, but now he was not sure why this was happening, truth be told it was a bit alarming but nothing that made him lose composure, for some reason this felt like a breeze.
"I will have to think about this later, first let's see if there's anything around here"
The sky seemed like a sea of white clouds as far as the eye could see, it felt relaxing somehow and so quiet, away from humanity. But when looking with more attention something starts to form on the horizon...a huge shadow takes form, hidden behind the clouds as its size looms over anything in the area so far.
Looking in a feeling of awe and surprise he said...
"Is that a flying island?''
Indeed it was, right there in the middle of the sky, probably a hundred feet in the air if not more high, was a colossal looking Island who apparently! Was floating without any sort of apparent tool, that could be seen from the outside of course.
"Hmmm...Well, I will be damn, this just got more interesting. I should probably go there and explore it. Way better than just waiting here seems like a good chance to go forward with this mystery"
Positioning himself for the exact right moment when the platform is as close as possible to one of the sides from the island edges. With a mighty leap, he succeeds in jumping from one point to the other, feeling unaffected by the high altitude while the wind blew, no big deal right?
"Nailed it! Now let's see what I can find around here"
What to do when you're faced with an unknown floating island? Simple! Go for a stroll, exploring is a standard thing when around new waters, not like there was time to get anything ready in case of emergencies though. However, the guy had enough confidence to take care of himself in case of a fight.
Also, there are plenty of places to be called pretty around said strolls thanks to their natural and unique natural biodiversity. However, certain views are so hypnotizing you can't help but stare at them for hours! Until the image is printed inside your mind and never forget it.
"Whoooa…"
While casually walking forward in a random direction, he takes a good look at how his surroundings look like. First, it seemed like Yamcha was at some very fairy-tale-like forest, because of the vibes it gave off, filled to the brim with unknown plants and huge trees consisting of different shapes and sizes.
In the air something gets his attention, small glowing wisps of light illuminating and frolicking through...at first he thought they were just some type of insect who could glow at will as part of their biology, but then the voices of little kids giggling got him thinking twice.
'Ok...that was something' He thought confused.
There was a river just across the other side, the water was clearly showing its purity, multi-colored birds could be seen flying around and the air? Felt like it was revitalizing his body and mind with each breath. Hard to explain but it felt like a very tranquil place with a certain mystery to its nature as well.
"Hey this place feels really nice, anyone would love to build a home for themselves around here"
While the enthusiastic man was thinking out loud he didn't notice that the little balls of light that floated around the place had suddenly begun to band together one by one, not exactly merging into a larger being but the golden light that emerged from them had become brighter and attracted his attention.
"Hmmn?"
Seeing something happen from the corner of his eyes, the young man turns around to see what had just happened. The orb started moving around frantically, mostly in one direction, and then came back to him, doing that exact move a few times before Yamcha understood what it wanted.
"You want me to follow you?"
The odd source of light didn't speak to him with words, but it moved its body up and down like it was nodding affirmatively to the question asked.
Yamcha thinks for a moment...should he follow it? For some reason it approached him and wanted attention, there wasn't anything else around him that did the same, so maybe just maybe! It was the best course of action.
"Ok mysterious glowing ball, show me what you got"
The scar-faced man walks casually around the forest while following the interesting living being, it was either alive or just some form of sentient energy, it kept a close enough distance that Yamcha can easily spot, but far away enough that he wouldn't be able to touch it.
After walking around the island for what felt like an hour, did the light finally show him what seemed to be a path of cobblestone, hidden by the dense shrubbery, maybe it was a secret road? Yamcha followed the light through the path, seeing a dozen dead trees that had fallen on top of the path, even over a crumbling stone bridge, which luckily held up while he crossed.
When they reached the end of the path, did the light disappear inside of a dark cave, illuminating deeper inside, waiting for him to follow.
"Ok...a ball of light showed me an old cobblestone path, that leads all the way to a spooky cave entrance...Yeah, it officially feels like a horror story waiting to happen" Yamcha said to himself, while in the distance thunder could be heard.
"And we're about to experience a thunderstorm followed by rain, either way, I'm going in aren't I?"
The light simple nodded up and down, and he had the slightest feeling that it was amused by his behavior.
At the end after much debate, mainly with himself, did he continue following the light into the cave? It wasn't long before they came to a spiral staircase, carved right into the stone with great detail, leading further down into a dark abyss.
The scar-faced man made his way down, the ball of light acting as his guide through the dark, step by step until they made it to the lowest level. The light continued to show Yamcha the way through the dark until they came across an open circular room, the walls were filled with murals, all depicting a multitude of different species fighting a common foe.
In the middle of the room surrounded by the murals was a massive tree, illuminated by sunlight from an opening above the ceiling, and in front of the colossal wooden plant born from nature was an amazingly well-sculpted statue of a beautiful well-endowed woman.
"Whoa...this place looks like it's been here for a long time, but it all looks so well maintained. What about that statue though? 'It looks almost as if it can move, and it's so pretty too' He thought, appreciating the work of art.
While Yamcha was taking in the information of his surroundings, he didn't see when the glowing orb of light started to swirl around the statue's frenetically and then stopping abruptly before inserting itself through the chest making the whole structure glow.
"Hmm?"
Quickly shifting back to the main attraction, the statue that had gotten his attention at first was now glowing with warm and bright light, the sensation felt reminiscent of the sun, it felt quite inviting to be true.
But then surprisingly, something amazing happens, bit by bit the rocky exterior of the statue begins to change, cracking it up and having more color, almost as if life was growing from within, starting from the tip of its feet and going up until it reaches the top of the head.
When it was over and done, it showed no more a statue, but a woman of flesh and blood, coming to life right before his eyes, leaving the man gasping in astonishment by such surprise.
"Eh!?" Confusion was all it came from his mouth.
Even though Yamcha felt awe-struck about what happened, more than before, he couldn't help himself but take a good, long, look at the curvaceous figure of that lady right there. She was wearing a regal silk white as snow robes, as blue outlines surrounded it, adorning silver decorations around the hip. Her long and luminous hair had a gorgeous shine of gold that flowed in elegance.
Her eyes however were such a precious purple-ish color that it reminded it more of precious Amethyst gemstones by their pureness and sparkle, just looking at her whole apparel was a wave of elegant heritage that felt breathtaking, like royalty.
The woman looked at him with a calm feature and chuckled as if amused by something. "I'm flattered that you think of me in such a light"
"EH!?"
Was all that came from his mouth once more, but louder. Was she somehow reading his mind!?
"In my own way, yes, but it's more on an emotional level anything really"
"Oh...well this is awkward"
Feeling a bit embarrassed with himself, Yamcha took a moment to school his features, and clear his mind before asking anything important.
"I'm sorry if this comes off as rude but. Who are you?" He asked, really curious now of who or what this being that showed up from the blue is, and what are her intentions.
"I'm sorry, I cannot reveal who, or what I am yet" The beautiful woman said, in an apologetic voice.
"Huh? Why not?" Yamcha asked, wondering why she couldn't reveal even a name.
"The powers that be, you can say, have deemed it too bothersome to tell"
'Is that a riddle?' "Hmm...I don't really get it but, it seems you are in a difficult position right? Well, am I dreaming right now?" The man asked the figure, curious about his predicament.
"Something like that, it's more of a connection, but pay close attention warrior, because we only have so long to speak, and I wish to bring important matters" She said with a tone of urgency but still looking composed.
"Really? Well then I suppose I should pay attention"
The beautiful woman then starts by lifting her arms which brings out some figures made of different light colors to show up, maybe as a better way for him to understand what she was gonna do rather than just using her words.
"Long ago, when this world was still green in existence and the first constructed kingdoms by their variety of species raised, peace was abundant even among the differences between different races. However, it was only a matter of time until a being of chaos and evil was birthed from the worst humanity had to offer, its evil had spread across everything in its path like a disease for a long time, destroying, pillaging, and enslaving all who defied him! For all he knew was the worst of everything, a foolish being who hunger for power as much as his greed"
"But even in the face of adversity and unreasonable circumstances, the races for the first time had joined forces together and fought their common enemy, forgetting about their differences even for just a moment and preserving their lives at all costs. Luckily a champion with a righteous heart had arisen and led the army against the forces that knew nothing but slaughter, so much blood was a spill, as much as the lives which were lost in the process, but the final battle between the Hero and the being was the most devastating of it all"
"In the end, he came out of it victorious from a fight beyond normal understanding, the chaotic one, however, proved harder to kill then first anticipated, the only choice left was to seal him with the remaining of his power, before succumbing to his wounds and dying in the battlefield"
The tale in which the mysterious women put so much atmosphere to it has come to an end. Her voice somber at every word as a feeling of sadness and nostalgia could be felt coming from it.
"Whoa! Sounds to me like he was a true hero" Yamcha said, having listened to what she said with all his attention, the amazing way she told and making it so serious "Wait, why are you telling me all this?"
"Knowledge is everything Yamcha" The woman said with a kind smile "And without it, death follows closer"
Yet again the former bandit was surprised at how this woman knew his name, maybe her ability to read minds was a bit more potent than what she was letting on to him. Better to think wisely on his words then.
With a bit more caution, Yamcha began to speak "Again apologies if I sound rude, but you did bring me here for a reason, correct? And funny thing too, do you know how I got here? Cause it just occurred to me that I'm missing some important memories, about how I came to this world and it's bothering me for a while"
"You were brought here through means that required a lot of preparation which has used much power, however, it appears that the transaction has taken a toll on your body and mind" She kept going, her voice still calm and serene.
"Really? I mean sure my body feels a bit stiff, but...wait"
Yamcha began to ponder what little of his memories he had, certain parts were obscured by a fog of sorts, and others were illuminated with more clarity. An extreme amount of training has taken place, techniques have been learned and improved, both good, and bad moments, shadows looming over the faces of people he didn't know. It felt like a lifetime even when so much was still hidden, but his body did not feel right.
"Everything will be revealed with time warrior, be patient and your answers will arrive in time"
"I...Guess, it's just weird you know?" He answered with his head hanging low.
"I would enjoy discussing more things with you, but there is not much time left. But by coming to this world certain skills were bestowed upon you"
The space around them starts to slowly fade away.
"What? Wait! I still have questions!?" Yamcha starts to panic a little.
"We'll meet again, but until then learn a lot and temper yourself. Once you're awake, concentrate, and say the words; Status...Open!"
And that was the last thing the black-haired man heard before the entire dream world he was having of a flying island in the sky and mysterious ruins with the beautiful lady a few moments ago disappeared, prompting him to wake up surprised and sweaty. Somehow breathing heavily even though the dream was not a nightmare.
It took Yamcha a few moments to get his breathing under control, all the while he was looking around the surroundings, noticing that he was still in his room just like it was left before going to sleep.
A small breach through the curtains lets a glint of sunlight, showing that it was a new day already, not sure what time it was since he didn't have a watch. His breathing now calmer, Yamcha started to think about the dream he had a few moments ago.
"Ugh...man what a trip, that was the weirdest dream I ever had. It was so life-like and felt so real, I mean seriously what will 'Status Open' really do..."
What seemed just like random words from a vivid dream leaving his mouth, it actually activated something and suddenly a screen appeared out of nowhere in front of the man surprising the living shit out of him who didn't expect it
"Whoa! Wait what?''
Yamcha stood up from his sitting position, falling off the bed in the process, away from the sudden floating screen not taking his eyes out of it.
Recomposing himself from that the guy takes a calmer look, the 'thing' was as big as a computer screen, there were a bunch of things written over it and that made him curious.
"What is that?" He asked, not really expecting an answer.
The day barely started and he was already confused at the events thus far.
{Greetings, this is your Status screen. The tutorial mode has been activated, do you wish to proceed?}
Those words were shown on the screen in bold white letters, the options Yes and No were the only ones in white that could be interacted with. Blinking in surprise at the sudden suggestion, by tutorial did it perhaps say that it was going to teach him how to operate it?
"Well..."
This situation was too unusual and it left him in a position of doubt, but would it just go away if ignored? Looking left and right, seeing no one but himself in the room he carefully pressed…
(Yes…)
The screen shifted in response to his choice, now showing a new batch of information at him. With a look of surprise and curiosity, Yamcha sees something quite different than expected.
Name: Yamcha (ヤムチャ)
Age: 18 (?)
Height: 183 Cm
Race: Human
Class: Martial Artist
Power Level: (Relaxed:12) (Battle Mode: 109)
Status: Most of your latent power has been locked away. Training is required to conquer it once more.
Ok, now that was new for sure. Yamcha looked at the information given to him with a careful eye, it appears that this thing knew about him, and what's more, apparently his power is locked away? What's the deal with that?
"Maybe this is one of the side effects that the mysterious lady said? I wonder how much of my power is actually hidden" He said. looking at it intently "Hmm? What do we get here?"
[Gravity Chamber (Self-Repairing)]

"Wait...I remember this. Yeah I don't know why but I remember all the fighting related stuff in my brain"
The scar-faced man wanted to see more details about it, so he clicked on it to take a peek.

"Fascinating…"
Yamcha spent the last twenty minutes eagerly examining what he could find and do with the status screen as it was being called from now on. Then he decided it was time to go downstairs and get him some breakfast before starting the day.
The Innkeeper of Caith Sith was named Kaiya and she is one of those...what's the name again? Demi-Human or so she has told him. He should get some time to read about that later, he doesn't want to look complete ignorant and call them animal people by accident, it would be just rude.
Yamcha didn't know what type of animal she looked at first, but it seemed to be perhaps a lioness or Puma? She had beautiful amber eyes with the short orange hair that faded to white towards the tips, with a brown mark on the center and bangs at the side of her face that faded to brown.
Just like any demi-human, she has a pair of animal ears with brown spots on them, and a long tail that is orange and white on the back. Her attire was a well-crafted maid dress specially made for her since she had a tail and all.
A while after meeting her Yamcha had noticed that her animal characteristics were more apparent than most who seemed to only have ears and tail as animal features that was it and nothing more, but she had smooth layers of thin fur around her arms and legs.
In conclusion, she was a mature and kind-hearted owner of the Inn, those types of beings who always give a good impression at first. A night of sleep in her place were ten copper coins.
"Looks like someone slept a bit more than usual huh?"
"Ah...yeah, I was really sleepy hehe. Good morning Mrs. Kaiya, can I know what are the options for breakfast?" He smiled.
"How about potato stew? I got fresh ingredients just this morning" The Innkeeper lady answered with a warm tone.
"Ah, nice! I would love that"
"Coming right up!" She said, noting down Yamcha's order, and heading back into the kitchen out of sight.
He was quite lucky that the first breakfast in that Inn was free for newcomers, a way of trying to attract new customers by showing a small gesture such as that. If you were a bad guy or a good guy well, that would be for the next day to find out, all investments have the chance to backfire anyway.
"Here you go"
After a few minutes of waiting, the innkeeper came back with the still-hot bowl of stew and side of bread. Instantly the mouth-watering smells coming from said stew went on his nostrils, it smelled so strong but it made his mouth water, making his hunger more apparent and grumble in anticipation.
The bread freshly made and warm to the touch was a nice addition as well. Grabbing the spoon he started taking it slowly so the food would last longer.
"Hmm~ This tastes amazing, it makes me want to eat more" He said, enjoying it...
"When someone tells you that the secret of a good dish is love, they really mean it. The love for cooking" She said while washing silverware "Spices are helpful too"
Even though Yamcha didn't know Kaiya for too long, he wanted to say something rather than stay silent the whole time while eating, trying to spit out some small talk he decided to tell her what he did yesterday.
"I don't know if Mrs. Kaiya would care to hear but it appears I became an adventurer not too long ago"
Stopping what she was doing, Kaiya-Dono looks back at him with a curious stare.
"Is that so? Well, try not to be too reckless ok? Some adventurers tend to think of themselves as unable to commit mistakes, and rather than learn from them they ignore them. That is what kills them"
He just nodded at what she said agreeing with it, it was easy to get cocky when you were stronger than the average people, but the moment something ten times or stronger than you arrived, it was only a matter of time before overconfidence pushed you down.
"Would you by any chance have some tips?" He asked with a grin.
"Well….I used to be an adventurer too back in my youth. But nothing too important, some are just never able to raise their ranks because of the increase in danger or difficulty and are stuck doing more trivial tasks for a few pennies. But I think you should buy some gear first, no one's gonna take you seriously if you don't look the part" She said with a wink while moving her finger.
Yamcha pondered the tip he was given for only a moment, it made sense that he had to look the part of an adventurer. So after he was finished with his food, he gave thanks to Mrs. Kaya for the advice and asked for directions to the local supplier to get some basic gear.
Afterward, he headed over to the other side of town to the local Blacksmith shop while making sure he decorated the environment landmarks to not get lost. When he arrived, there was a line already outside the door, but when looking closer there appeared to be a group of guys, probably adventurers, arguing with what appeared to be a…
'What was it again?'
A Dwarf.
The group was formed of three human males, the first guy had short wavy black hair adorning a simple red coat and white shirt, in his back was a bow and quiver showing he was a bowman. The second one had messy and long brown hair that reached his shoulders, wore a simple set of leather armor pieces covering the joints, his biggest feature being that he possesses no visible eyebrows which are kind of funny.
He was the one shouting at the owner, in his hands was a sword whose blade was quite thick, in a matter of length it was just like a longsword but the metal looked heavier, better for hacking and slashing.
One of the last guys was a skinny dude wearing light armor protecting his vitals too, but metal rather than leather, his face covered by a black hood showing only his eyes, but he looked to be disinterested with what was supposedly their leader's tantrum.
"You sold me a defective item you old fart!" The one wilding said sword with both hands said "I can't even beat the simplest of monsters with this thing"
"I told you the reason already, boy. Your build was not tempered enough for that kind of blade. But did you listen? Nope! I bet you just bought it to look cool in front of girls huh?"
A short and robust-looking man approximately around a height of one hundred thirty centimeters said with an easy-going tone of voice, not even triggered in the slightest by the latter anger.
The man sprouts a mustache paired with a large and shining black beard woven in three braids that extended almost down to his stomach. But even though his stature and legs looked short, his physique shows large and developed muscles due to either their race or lifestyle.
His attire in question was not too flashy, which he wore a green vest together with black gloves and trousers, simple but comfortable. The sturdy brown-colored leather apron though told a different story, stained by years of working with metal every single day.
"Why you! Are you kidding me with that bullshit!? This thing can barely hit a fly, let alone a goddamn goblin"
The man said, yelling into the face of the dwarf, who hadn't even flinched, but Yamcha can tell he was ready for a fight if things got too violent.
"Oh, so let me get this straight, you took a sword in which you bought just for the heck of it, inside a goblin nest, where most of the time it is so cramped and narrow the only weapons you're able to use are either long knives or short swords?" Said the Dwarf, as he raised a mocking brow.
'It seems like a discussion is taking place, and by the sound of it is getting heated' Yamcha thought.
Hearing that was the breaking point, the man stopped making any movement as his shoulders began to shake, within his eyes it was clear that nothing would shake his choice to believe that HE was the one in the right, and rage quickly sunk in.
His companions knew how hot-headed their so-called leader could happen to be and attempted to stop him.
"Wait! Jack stop this!" Said the hooded one, as he attempted to stop the rising sword arm, but was pushed back by Jack's superior strength.
"I will fucking show you whos not tempered, you third grade Blacksmith! DIE!"
Roaring like someone throwing a tantrum when unable to get what they wanted, he swung down at the Dwarf with the same blade he thought was defective, without worrying about hurting him, the shorter man seemed unsurprised and stood in place.
But before the blade could hit the Dwarf who was only doing his job, something came flying towards the annoying client hitting him right in the hand, making the weapon unceremoniously be dropped to the side, embedded into the floor, as the owner was clutching his wrist in pain.
His comrades found it weird that the sword he was holding suddenly came down, maybe it was as heavy as the blacksmith said and didn't swing it well?
"Ah! Fuck! What just..."
"Ohhh? So violence is your first answer when things don't go your way huh?"
The dwarf calmly walked up to the down warrior, who was still clutching his wrist in pain. And proceeded to take the chance to give him an uppercut so strong it launched his whole body back, falling on the floor with a thud.
"Next time you want to buy something sonny, make sure you actually need it"
With eyes as sharp as the swords he hammers down every day, he made sure to give the others the hint that now it was about time they left his store. The two others just groan in response and start dragging the now unconscious man.
As soon as the troublemakers left, did the blacksmith let loose a heavy sigh at the situation he found himself in.
"Damn brats, there is always some idiot thinking he can do whatever he wants, what makes you think you're so special? And inside my own shop of all places!"
The dwarf said, mostly to himself as he rubbed the back of his head, his attention was then drawn to the sword embedded into the wooden floor, particularly to the pebble that lay next to it.
"Hmm..."
He looked at it for a moment, like a bookworm studying strange phenomena, before his gaze slowly turned towards the most likely direction, until his gaze met that of a young man with scars on his face. Having a good memory of everyone that comes to the shop most of the time, the Dwarf knew he was a new face.
''Hey there" Yamcha waves his hand presenting himself "Looks like things got a bit heated huh? But you managed to diffuse the situation nicely"
If by sucker-punching the guy like a sack of potatoes was the new definition of the word diffuse of course, but he kept a lay back expression, already looking around left and right at the shop while taking the first step inside.
The store adorned a multitude of weapons and armors of different sizes, each one specifically made with one goal in mind, be it the sharpness of a knight sword or just the straight forward smashing of hammers, some with more meticulous details but all very well crafted by the store owners' skills.
Not saying much the dwarf grunts in acknowledgment of what the man said, his demeanor was more of a serious blacksmith rather than an angry old man ready to start a brawl for any silly reason.
"One of the best things in this line of work is to teach a lesson to these arrogant kids, thinking they are a big deal when they can't even use a quarter of their brain for common sense" The bearded man said, his face softening more now.
Yamcha agreed with the dwarf's line of thought with a nod "Yeah, well that happens with everyone once in a while"
Without saying much after that, the dwarf began to head back to his workplace, stroking his beard in thought, when the short man was behind the counter his face took on a more professional look that complemented his serious craftsman spirit.
"The names Balgro, folks call me Bal for short, and seeing as this is the first time I've seen you around town, let me be the first to welcome you to my humble shop kid" He rested his shoulder on the counter.
"Nice to meet you Balgro, I'm new around here as you already could tell. I just registered with the adventurers guild yesterday and will start working today. But then I noticed that I'm not really well equipped" Yamcha said while looking around.
Balgro looks at Yamcha with an inquisitive look, like he was already making a profile about that man, analyzing his way of talking, his body, and slight mannerism.
"Well I give you props for coming here instead of using some old memento from your village who even though looked like it could have seen better days, it was decided you use it anyway with the chance of breaking"
"Eh? Ahn..." Yamcha looked at him confused.
"Never mind that" The dwarf said, shrugging off an annoying memory of another idiot before talking again "Let me guess, you don't have a lot of money and you wish for something cheap and perhaps light?"
'I wouldn't mind something heavy though' "Sure that would be great, but I guess it's better to start small. Got anything that is not metallic?" The scar-faced man said, resisting the need for the armor that would indeed look cool on him.
"Why come here if not for that? Well, I suppose there are a few pieces here of what you could be looking for, and since it was just gathering dust I can make you a good deal"
While he enjoyed crafting things that were metal was the main ingredient, sometimes he would try out some other stuff.
Yamcha was wearing the white shirt with long sleeves that were given to him by Lapin, his hands\forearms were covered by comfortable leather gloves, the same material from his boots as well but the leather on this one was black. For the lower parts of his body, he adorned quilted padded trousers.
A total of fifteen copper coins in total for the sale.
"Not bad, sometimes I don't pay attention to the little details in most objects" He said looking at the leather from his gloves and boot.
"Working with metal gives me way more joy than leather or fabric, but knowing the basics doesn't hurt. Just don't expect me to have this sort of thing lying around all the time"
With that said, Balgro went to the room in the back which leads to his forge.
"Come back if you ever need another piece of equipment or upgrade your gear for some real armor sonny" The Dwarf said with a more friendly thumbs up.
"You got it"
After getting somewhat protected pieces of clothing and mesh better with the people in town, Yamcha made his way over to the adventurers guild, to hopefully get some work done.
When he arrived, there was a large crowd inside the building, waiting for all the jobs to be pinned to a large wooden board that took up half of the wall. Other adventurers were muttering in excitement about what they are planning to do, some thought of hunting Goblins, a few hoped to go dragon hunting, etc.
The atmosphere was surprisingly that of comradely and professionalism.
