"HAHAHA. What do we have here? A bunch of crying babies?" The man laughed with cocky expression. Apparently, mocking them without holding-back.
And upon hearing this voice, Kim Shin suddenly narrowed his eyes as it gleaned sharply. While Uncle Jonathan's group stopped at their crying as they glared at the 1.83-meter black-haired man who wore a leather armor over an auburn vest, which complemented with his tanned skin, equipped with iron circlet around the forehead of his rough face, and armed with a falchion on his left waist.
This voice was indeed familiar to him since this man is one of the members of the guild who slaved them.
"The Boar Fangs Brotherhood…" Kim Shin muttered under his breath as he stared at the boar tattoo on the man's right arm.
Seeing the silent expression on their faces, the arrogant man clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"Tch! Seems like this town was good at attracting trashes…" The man spoke to himself enough to be heard by Kim Shin and others.
"What did you say? You bastard!"
A youth beside Kim Shin couldn't hold his anger as it retorted to the arrogant man. "I dare you to say it again!"
"HAHA. What's difficult with that?" The arrogant man replied as he smirked. He then continued. "Listen carefully you midget." He paused before continuing. "I said that you all are trash!"
Upon hearing this, not just the youth, even the other men beside Kim Shin was furious and about to rush at the cocky man. However, before they could move an inch, Kim Shin and Uncle Jonathan immediately stopped them.
"Enough! Don't get swayed by his words."
"What do you mean about that, Shin?" Uncle Jonathan asked in confusion which also puzzled the others.
"He's trying to scheme us. If we start a fight, the town's guards will immediately come to apprehend us and be imprison for a week." He answered as he glared at the man before them.
This is one of the unspoken rules inside the human's town or cities. Some of the unspoken rules are:
1. It's forbidden to kill inside the city.
Consequence: Fine by a huge amount and imprison for 100 years.
2. Involved in a fight.
Consequence: Fine by a huge amount and imprison for 1 week.
3. It's forbidden to sexual harass and rape a woman.
Consequence: Death sentence
…..
Kim Shin's disclosure of the man's scheme shook them as they got even more furious.
"You asshol*!"
"This motherf*cker!"
Curses voice of the men bombarded the surprised man before them. He couldn't understand how this seemingly newbie group was so knowledgeable at the rules inside the city.
"Let's go. Don't let yourselves be bothered with his words." Kim Shin reminded them as he slowly walked forward. And as he was about to pass the gaping man, the man suddenly frowned and whispered covertly to him. "Remember this! This is not the end of this!"
Upon hearing this, Kim Shin didn't stop moving, but he replied before he increased his pace. "Bring it on!"
'Hmph. Let's see if you could still have that smirked on your face when I kill you.' The man thought in irritation as he snorted before leaving.
...…
Cavethy Town has a five district.
Main district. Louie Bunny Inn.
Inside the room 105. Kim Shin could be seen lying on a single bed with his limbs widely spread.
Hoo~Haa!
Phew~
He was exhausted for non-stop moving. Now, he has the chance to take a good rest. However, he didn't do it. Since time won't wait for anyone. He needs to make a future plan.
What he need to do from here now?
The path his taking was a long one and wouldn't be that easy.
Kim Shin then laid his current situation for now.
'Now, I already made the boar fangs brotherhood as my enemy. Then, we also need a city pass. So, first, we're going to get our city pass tomorrow.'
'Then, it decided! And for those who want to hinder my way? They're welcome to try!'
Afterward, Kim Shin eventually fell asleep.
…
In the next morning.
In the eastern part of the cavethy town. Outside of the massive white town hall.
A good-looking young man clothed with black suit armor and crimson cloak draped over his shoulder could be seen smiling to the middle-aged who's wearing a leather armor over a white shirt and black jeans with fatherly appearance.
"Thank you for coming with me, Shin."
"Don't mention that Uncle. I also planned yesterday night to get my city pass."
It's Kim Shin and Uncle Jonathan who just got their city pass. And if you're asking about the others? They are still dozing off in the inn.
"Anyways, what are your plans now, Uncle?" Kim Shin curiously inquired Jonathan.
"Hmm. For now, I think I will take my time and have more rest." Jonathan responded after thinking for a second.
"Ah. I see." Kim Shin said as he faintly nodded his head.
"How about you?"
"I'm going to raise my level today." Kim Shin answered shortly. At first, he planned to invite Jonathan to party with him. He wanted to increase his Uncle's level immediately. Since he made the boar fangs brotherhood his enemy, there's a high possibility that they will use underhanded method to get him.
That's why he wanted to help to boost the level of Jonathan. He doesn't want anything bad to happen that he's going to regret for the rest of his life.
Upon hearing Kim Shin's plan, Jonathan couldn't helped but to get worried for Kim Shin as he remembered the arrogant man yesterday.
"I understand that you want to raise your level. But, please, be always cautious in your surroundings. Please, be careful."
With Jonathan's words, Kim Shin couldn't stop himself from getting emotional internally. He missed this care of his Uncle, who he treated as his father.
Smiling genuinely, he then answered to assured his uncle. "Don't worry, Uncle. I won't be careless. And even if they come? Then, I won't give them any mercy."
As he heard Kim Shin answer, Jonathan nodded his head approvedly. He liked Kim Shin's mindset, matured enough to care about himself.
"Ah, before I go. Uncle, here, this is for you." Kim Shin then handed a bag of vol coins to Jonathan.
Jonathan didn't hesitate to accept Kim Shin's gift as he asked. "How much this bag have?"
"10,000 Vol…"
"Ah, I see. It's 10, 000 Vol…" Jonathan responded as he nodded his head with a faint smile as if he completely understood Kim Shin's answer.
Then, as if bolt of lightning struck his head, Jonathan widened his eyes in disbelief as he asked Kim Shin one more time. "How much?"
"10, 000.." Kim Shin answered with an innocent smile.
"T-Ten thousand vol?!" Jonathan blurted out in astonishment. At first, he thought he just misheard it. That's why he asked Kim Shin one more to confirm. However, he did not misheard it.
He then hurriedly opened the bag and saw the mountain of platinum coins in it.
"What? Ten thousand? Who are they kidding?"
"Don't mind them. They are maybe just seeking attention."
Because of the sudden loud voice of Jonathan, the people who heard his words didn't believed him but actually thought him as an attention seeker.
"N-No, I can't take this…" Jonathan hurriedly tried to pushed back the bag of Vol to Kim Shin.
"Uncle, please take it. I want you to take it. Just think of it as a fate, maybe I owe you big in my last life."
Hearing Kim Shin's absurd excuse caused Jonathan to twitched his eyebrows in annoyance.
'Who is this kid fooling?'
"I really can't take this—"
Jonathan's word was immediately cut as Kim Shin hurriedly ran away while waving him goodbye.
"See ya later, Uncle."
…..
Arriving before the north gate, Kim Shin was abruptly stopped by a crimson guard of the town.
"Your city pass, please."
"Here."
The city pass was a silver identification card. It has his name, age, and affiliated town on it.
'Are they really NPC?' Kim Shin wondered as he looked at the guard before him who's clad in an exquisite and stunning crimson knight armor.
All the guards in various cities and towns of the humans continent are high-level. They don't participate in humans matters. They only do what the Yggdrasil God commanded to them.
"Here. Thank you for patiently waiting. I already confirmed it. You have permission to leave now."
"Thanks."
…
"Boss, is that our target for the day? But he seems like a newbie?"
"There's no wrong with it. He's our target!" The man answered as he looked at the portrait of Kim Shin before tossing it on the ground.
"Okay, let's follow him for a while."
Thus, the group of three adult men followed behind our Hero.
….
Slash!
< You've dealt 220 damage! >
< You've obtained +10 energy! >
[You've defeated the Wild Rat!]
Thud!
The headless corpse of the 1.50-meter tall dark rat fell on the ground.
"Would you guys like to show yourselves to me? You all are following me since I left the town. Aren't you guys getting bored by just watching me in the dark?" Kim Shin shouted without a fixed direction as he kneeled down and dismantled the corpse.
[You've obtained wild rat pelt!]
[You've obtained wild rat tail!]
'Tsk!'
A couple of meters away behind Kim Shin, a group of three men who are hiding behind the shades of the trees were taken aback by Kim Shin's words.
"What should we do now, Boss?"
"What else you fool?" The boss answered as he slapped the back head of the man who just questioned him. He was truly frustrated to be in a group of idiots. Thus, without any choice, he decided to show himself.
"HAHAHA. I didn't think that you will manage to see through our stealth huh?!"
