Chereads / A way back home / Chapter 2 - The first card

Chapter 2 - The first card

Let's talk a little bit of Dota 2, if basically a game based on the world of World of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, the two nemesis stones, Dire and Radiant contract heroes of all the universe to fight for them, as to why they don't fight each other, simple, these two would literally destroy all the universe and its realities if they fought each other. That's why, they bring heroes to fight for them, these heroes have different reasons to fight in the battle of the ancients, some come for money, others for fame and glory and some others even for revenge.

"So, this doesn't explain why I have this pendant" I though.

I took out the pendant and examinated it, nothing happened.

Finally, I put on the necklace.

When the pendant touched my chest, it finally had a reaction.

"Ahh!"I cried in pain when the pendant actually melted in Noah's skin, leaving behind only a tattoo on his chest.

"What the hell" I Though.

Suddenly a panel appeared in my eyes, inside the panel, a series of cards appeared.

One hundred and six cards to be more precise, all of them were upside down.

At the bottom of the panel a cube could be seeing, at its right a message appeared.

[One random chance]

I was confused, he looked at every sight of the pane, however, there was nothing besides the cards and the random bottom.

"…" I duded for some time before pressing on the bottom.

*Click*

A sound came to his mind and some of the cards illuminated for some seconds before illuminating another one, finally after twenty of these movements, the finally card illuminated.

It turned and the imagine on it could be seeing.

[Congratulations, you obtained your first hero!] A message came to Noah's mind.

The other cards disappeared and only the card selected remained.

It size grew bigger until finally Noah saw the image on the card.

"I.. I know him!" I though.

The figure showed the image of a tall man with blond hair and pointed ears, it also had three balls one blue, one red and the other one purple.

"The magus supreme, Kael, The invoker!" I Noah.

The card entered Noah's body and an information came to his mind.

[You have acquired the soul of Kael, The invoker, to fulfill the conditions to use this card, you must obtain the weapon to activate synchronize the soul

Item to obtain: The acolyte of the lost arts

Remark: You can't give this card]

This message appeared in Noah's head; I couldn't help but look at it for a very long time.

Finally, he already knew what to do.

"First of at all, let's find something to eat" Though Noah.

I went to the street, there were few people walking, maybe it was because it was raining heavily.

I smelt something, I went and saw that an old man was selling fruits.

It looked delicious.

"Sir, can I have an apple, I am starving" I said to the man.

"Do you have money?" Said the man.

I touched my pants, who would know, a small coin was on it, a bronze one.

"This…" I lifted the coin.

"Here, two apples" Said the man.

I grabbed the two apples and flee to my sit beside the garbage.

I took a bit on the apple.

Indeed, it was delicious.

"Or maybe I am just to hungry" I though.

I ate both apples at a fast speed, maybe I would had been better to left an apple for the night, however, I couldn't, when I had the apple in my hand, I beastly hunger assault me.

"Its cold"

After I had my meal, the cold was the next problem.

I saw the garbage and an idea came to me.

I dug on the garbage begging to find something.

"Haha! There is one!"

I found some torn clothes, I put in a way that shelter me from the rain.

"It's still cold though" I though.

"However, I found a treasure while I was digging"

I found a half-eaten piece of meat, it wasn't that cooked, however, it was still edible.

"I think…"

I grabbed the piece of meat and took a big bite… however…

"Ouch! This is as hard as rock!"

I can't eat this! Is too hard!

"I thought I broke my teeth"

However, I couldn't just leave this meat, it feels to wasteful.

"What do I do?" I murmured.

"Maybe you can give it to me, in exchange, I will give you something" A voice came to me.

I looked up and saw a silhouette looking at me.

It was a woman; however, this woman was all covered, All I could see was a pair of beautiful purple eyes. On her arms, there was a picnic like basket.

"Here, I will give this to you, you give me that piece of meat" Said the woman.

"Well, I don't anything to lose anyway" I though.

So, I give her the meat and she gave me back the basket.

When I saw what was inside the basket, I become stunned.

"A-a-a baby!?" I said

"Au?" I saw a beautiful baby with purple eyes looking back at me with a smile.

"Miss!" I shouted.

However, the woman had already disappeared.

"Fuck! She tricked me!"

"Auu?" The baby looked at me with a strange look.

"This isn't a funny"

I just arrived into this world, I am homeless, I barely had enough food for the day and I had another mouth to feed.

"No, I don't accept this responsibility!"

I left the basket and decided to be on my way.

"Wuahhh!"

However, before I could get to far away, the baby started to cry.

"…"

It's not my responsibility, I didn't do anything wrong.

I kept repeating those words on my mind, however…

"My feet won't move from this place" I smiled bitterly.

I grabbed the basket and went on my way.

..........................................…

I did a lot of works during this year, as a child, I couldn't do a lot.

Washing dishes, helping some sellers on their stand, things like that.

I learned a lot of things.

First of all, this place wasn't the world of warcraft. This world was called Azulis.

And the place I was is one of the countries of the human continent, Detrius.

There were six big countries on this world.

Of course, since my "Teachers" were people without basic education, they only knew the name of this continent, Virtio.

When I asked why it was called the human continent, it wasn't because in the continent there were only humans, no, it was because the powerhouses on this continent were human ones.

There is more history on that, however, they didn't know.

Anyway, this small village was called Herald, it was a tiny village that had less than one thousand people, of course, humans were the only kind of creatures that lived here. This village was basically a huge farm, their principal income was based on their farm products.

By the way, they also teach me that there were three kinds of coins, bronze, silver and gold. 10 bronze coins were equal to 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins were equal to 1 gold coin. It seems that the richer people here make ten gold coins per year.

Or so I assume, giving the fact that the products here were so cheap.

Speaking of which, the ones I am talking about are the Bareting family. They were the richest here, however, I wondered why did they had so much money. My ex-boss told me that the patriarch of the Bareting family had one daughter was a mage, so, they received an allowance giving by the mage academy, in odd of her service to the academy.

Yep, that's right, mage academy.

I wasn't that surprised, went I listened to this, however, the other piece of information that my ex-boss gave me was what interested me.

"There is an enrollment in the mage academy every five years, everyone can sign on, however, between the thousands of people, who goes there, only two or three are accepted, after all, having the aptitude of a mage is very limited"

I immediately though on the card of Karl.

To not forget about the information of my previous world, I wrote everything I knew about the world of Dota and their heroes.

I was lucky that one of the sellers throw out a book that was almost empty, I bought a pen for 1 bronze coin and I started a diary.

I was a good idea indeed, because between my work and the fact that I have slept in an alley with my sister for almost a year, I started to forget a lot of things.

However, there are two things that I won't forget no matter what.

"I will return to my original world"

"And in the process"

"I WILL KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER!"
