I swear to the Goddess.. I don't even know what the fuck is going on right now, but it seems that the King actually gave me a good sword, some armour, and a few dozen pieces of gold.. Wait, gold? Seriously? Going on the route my old world took, it seems. "May I suggest you never abandon the value of gold, King Middas. It is few and far between: plentiful but useless. Valuable, yet worth less compared to any thing you'll find on the street." I'd grin a bit, being a bit cryptic. "We valued gold because it was worth something, but it wasn't very useful or very common. We discarded that value for something backed by our own debts and maybe that'll lead that world into another pointless war. At least that was my own country until it fell." I'd come up with a lie on the spot, grinning a bit as I looked at the king.
The King, looked at me like I was some kind of sage as he realized what I said held some truth to it. The steward eyed me as well, the commentary from me was akin to both advice and an insult.
"I must be on my way, King Middas. If you ever do need something, feel free to come and track me down. Gonna see if I can't do some exploring now that I have some money to my name." From what I know and learned this world doesn't have Guilds, but eh.. Not my problem.
I'd leave the castle, grinning a bit as I took to the world. Traveling town to town on my own. Just helping out people with monsters, and other things. I said to all of them "It's what an Explorer should do." And, that was just the start of what was to come.
Two months later, and I'm done fighting off a den of dragons that was terrorizing another Kingdom. I swear, Dragons are smarter and stronger then they appear in my old world. I bring there heads to the Castle, smiling and rubbing my hands together as I was awaiting what-ever reward was in store for me.
"Thank you Michael-dono.. I thank you dearly from my heart on the behalf of all my people." The King says, smiling and nodding as he called a couple of his people to go and get what seemed to be my reward. "I have another request on top of your reward. I want you to take my General with you on your journey." I'd shake my head a bit, not expecting that in the least. But, I guess it's a good reason. "It might sound a strange request, but the General is also the Princess of this country.. She does not know much of the outside world, other then you and the tales that you have shared with us."
