(Thoughts)
(Skills and magic)
As I was walking I had several thoughts going through my head trying to find a reasonable explanation for what happened to me.
(The only things I think of is some higher being or god brought me here some reason I have to yet grasp, I died in the game and entered a parallel world based on yddrasil or that I was summoned here).
I close my eyes take a deep breath and sigh.
(Thinking on that now wouldn't immediately help my situation, best to work withs what's in front of me).
As was coming up to a large gate two guards called to me as they pointed there spears towards me.
"Halt who goes there?" Guard number 1 said.
As I stopped my myself fully registering there words,though I looked calm on the outside I was actually ecstatic in my head.
(Great I can understand them so far so good,although the words I can hear and the word there speak looks different magic perhaps?).
As I stood there thinking on what I should say I came up with an appropriate reply.
"My name is kirin osman and I'm a traveller from the east hoping for a better opportunities from where I came from."
The guards still pointing there spears looked at me suspiciously until the second guard asked a question.
"Are you from E-pespel,E-reabel or the empire?" Guard number 2 asked
I decided to answer bit truthfully.
"No I'm not a bit further down will that be an issue?"
Waiting for an answer to my question they answered with another question
"Are you an adventurer?" Guard number 1 asked
"Something like that but I'm a bit of a mercenary to be honest." I answered sort of truthfully
Having thought my answer was sufficient enough withdrew there spears and replied to my answer.
"Goodluck finding a job in the capital your better being an adventurer." Guard number 2 snorted amusingly
As I digested those words my mind was on overdrive trying work with the information I was given.
(Adventurer? So it is similar to a fantasy world this could help if I need anything profitwise)
After I finished thinking I bowed to them and offered my gratitude.
"Thank you gentlemen that has really been helpful although am still not familiar with my surroundings so I would like to offer this as my gratitude and to spare any information and map you could give."
I thought of opening my inventory and then my hand entered a black swirling portal greatly shocking the guards present.
(Know matter how many times I do this it's still weird. I thought of a pouch that I used to carry some of my yddrasil gold and it entered my hand as I brought it out with my inventory closing up afterwards.
Still visibly shocked from display my they didn't react to me reaching my hand into the pouch and bringing out 2 gold gold coins for of each them until I waved it in front of there faces.
They took the coins from me giving it a once over before looking at me and asking.
Where did you get this looks like a work of art rather than any gold coin I've seen and what was that thing just now are you a magic caster ?Guard number 2 looked at me interested on what I would say
I answered the best I could without giving to much away.
"Those gold coins are rewards I got from nobles as a reward for doing certain jobs for them as for whether a magic caster thats firm no,as you can see from my garm I'm more of a fighter the a researcher in the magical arts."
Satisfied with my answer they gave an answer to my request.
We'll weigh it the office if it's the real thing then will happily answer any questions and give what you ask for. Guard number 1 said ecstatic
You have my thanks. I bowed a again for gone measure
( that went well, seeing that this is a medieval fantasy setting bribery could quite work quite well though I would have to avoid using yddrasil gold in the future it could bring unnecessary attention to me)
After we went to the office and weighed the coin I actually discovered that my coins are list twice as a standard gold coin with the art work probably making 5 times more due to this I was given 30 silver coins to compensate me and directions to nearby inn.
( just walk north and look for an with a bear on it, how hard could it possibly
be?)
Sighing after a while going north as in instructed by the guards I heard a noise in a nearby alley,definitely female from the sound of it as curiosity got the better of me I decided to take a look and what I saw were two thug looking guys harassing what looks to be a peasant girl.
"Come on girl come play with us we promise don't bite." The first thug said grinning hungrily
The peasant looking like she was uncomfortable and shaking in fear said meekly.
"Please let me go I have somewhere to be." She replied in a scared tone
She tried to leave but the second thug blocked her exit effectively making her trapped.
Your not going anywhere. The second thug said as he made to grab her
Knowing where this was going I decided to intervene.
Hey mind if I cut in. I said as I walked a reasonable distance to the trio
The first thug looked my way confused at first but then realized what I was trying to do stared daggers at me replied
"Get lost you bastard this doesn't concern you." He yelled in anger
Maybe but I kind of have a personal code to not hurt women unless necessary and the fact you idiots basically fit every every cliche about a bunch thugs just makes it more inclined for intervene. I said then snorting and my joke
Hearing what I said the first thug ran up to me while making what's looked like a poorly telegraphed with his right hand while he yelled.
"You Bastard!!" The first thug screamed
While he was coming at something happened everything looked it was going at a snails pace so when that punch got within the range of my face I easily dodged by leaning my head to the left then I grabbed his forearm with my left hand then pulling him towards me I kneed him in the diaphragm knocking the wind out of him.
"Kuuhhh!!!" The thug said as he groaned in pain.
Then I raised my right hand and then dropped my elbow down at the back of his head effectively knocking him out.
As he dropped to the ground I raised my hand looking at it with amazement.
( whoa that was intense even in my former body I would have been able to take that guy but I did so effortlessly like my body moved on it's own) I thought while clenched my hand.
While that was on my mind the other thug drew out a dagger and tried to stab me in the chest I caught his hand easily with my right hand raised it above my head and threw a reverse punch into his liver with my left hand then while he was holding his side in pain I grabbed his head both hands and performed a flying knee strike to his face feeling his nose break from the impact.
As he collapsed backwards eyes rolled to the back of his head as he flew two feet the ground, as he passed out I stood up straight with only one thought on my mind?
(Hopefully I didn't kill them don't need the attention right now) I thought hopefully
When that was done I walked up the girl who was staring at me in shock and then backed away in fear after seeing what I did to those men which was understandable so I raised both of my hands in a non threatening way and spoke as softly as I could.
You have know need to be afraid of me I saw what was happening and decided to intervene sorry if what you saw was unpleasant. I said apologetically
She seemed to calm down after that but was still wary of me which was ok since she didn't know me.
"I thank kind sir I don't what I would have done if you didn't walk by." She bowed graciously
"Never mind that how did you even get in a alley with those thugs to begin with?" I asked curiously but already expecting the answer I would get
She looked down nervously as I said that replying to my answer in a meek tone
"I was trying to find my way back home faster but those thugs blocked my way before I got the chance." She said nervously
(Yeah I thought as much) I thought in aspiration rubbing the back of my head
"Please let today serve as example and a warning to avoid alleys not every would have done what did." I said to trying put my my point across
She seemed to understand as she nodded deciding not to waste this opportunity I decided to ask her for help
Hey do you by any chance know of an inn with a bear on the sign I'm looking for it? I said in hope that she knew where was
As faith would have it she nodded affirmative and replied
Yes actually I work and live there would you like for me to show you the way? She asked
I would like that. I smiled genuinely happy right now
"Ok then follow me" she smiled back as turned around and worked in a certain direction.
As I walked after her I couldn't help being slightly happy thinking this could be over
( finally once I get a place to stay and reorientate myself I can decide what I due next in this strange new world).
And that its sorry this longer that expected but I had a lot of research to do and I'm still not finished hopefully I finish before next week or I would have to postpone this for one whole week
next (NPCs and decisions)
