But Zora woke up from a noise came from a group of people. He looked outside from window it was dark and the group were at in front so he could not see them.
He told himself, "They came here fast."
He made ready to fight and run, but he needed to check first, so he went out to living room and check them.
There were three people, one with spear and two with sword. They were talking with woman, Zora could not hear well.
He thought a bit and
Transform metal form.
He transform into metal form. And he looking at them again. Now he got more clearly see and hear them even in the dark.
....
"We will come tomorrow made it ready." And man with spear give a pouch to the woman.
The woman took it and said thank.
After they left, the woman come back in.
Zora changed back to normal human form and stand there.
When the woman saw him. Walk toward him and gave him the pouch.
"They wanted three graves for a family of three at the day after tomorrow. What would you like to do?"
At that time, Zora was thinking too many thing.
Hmm… he sigh.
He did not want to talk but look like he needed to talk.
He needed to know where he was, how was situation out there?, and about this world, so that he could make more correct decision.
After he made conversation with the woman, he got some information about this world.
...….
The world name is Eliand,
They were now Ju continent.
Wai country.
Wai is just a very small country, they were not from this country before. The actual Wai were lost their country in a war and fled to this small country.
Original name of this small country was Tang Long.
Tang Long country accepted the Wai refugee but they betray and took over Tang Long country.
Before this country was with peace and prosper but now was so different.
Population was around 5 million and did not have other province or city.
The graveyard located at the back of the country and after grave yard there were big jungle and mountain where mostly hunters would went in there for hurt animal or other treasure.
There were some small villages were out there in a Big jungle but it is a very dangerous place.
Danger from everything, especially human were easily kill each other in there.
This country was very far away from other country that why war of the world did not affect much on here. But still they needed to fight with some small force time to time.
This world was like lower technology than Earth before WW1. They had guns but other were so low technology.
But one thing very different from Earth was,
There were Magic available here, Magician were powerful but not everyone was magician. They were not too rare only 1 at 100 people but only some could become a powerful.
But in this world the most powerful is not A Magician but …..
Metal Warrior.
They were rare like 1 in 100 male magician, only male magician could get recognition from Metal Organism.
But all the metal warrior were not become powerhouse. Some were useless but at the same time, one could rule the country.
Metal Organism or parasite was like crystal ball with black organism within it. They were living thing and They chose theirs host.
Every country has at least one of ritual site, that where metal organism could be found.
Metal organism site could not move or dig out.
They called them Metal Warrior but all of them are not for fight.
There were too many size, shape and ability different one to another.
Some could transform into small animal shape, or some mythical beast, some transform into stone, or structure.
Some could use fire, water, sort of ability,
Depend on situation, they could be useful but fighter ability were more popular than other.
Wai country, a prince has most powerful ability around these area.
He could transform Fire Golem, he got this ability from Ting Long country.
The rumour said if he got this ability before, they would not lost their country before.
And this was a reason they killed Ting Long Royal family and took over Ting Long country.
The woman name was Tin Ye lin, and around 30 years old, She was a servant of a noble family, not from a Wai country but the country lost in a war they fled too.
She was alone and had noting to eat or place to live. She went into grave yard for to die and lost conscious,
The old man saved her and made her as his play thing. For five years.
Tin Ye Lin already gave up her hope as a living thing, she is now living but just hollow inside.
War were everywhere, human die everywhere, a life mean disposable in this world.
This world is real jungle law rule.
And Aunt Tin made him as her master even if he did not want.
She showed him a safety box of the old man. It was with number locked.
He told her that, they needed to move away to people could not see them.
Then she showed him, hidden underground place the old man made.
There were war and not safe, so that were not a strange to have a place like that. But Zora could not think that much.
The only thing in his mind was stay alive and stronger.
The Jungle was most dangerous place, it was the info from Tin Ye. She told him the graveyard was safest place.
He never believe just like someone told him, he would always think with his own intelligent on the info he got.
Yu Rou told him that Tin Ye Lin was a good woman. He did not knew exactly why, he felt a little relieve or believe.
But anyway too early to believe someone who just met.
From the info he got, he thought that, he should tried stay here for a while.
Because these people believe that,
Dead people soul were destroyed if there were hot sun or afternoon.
If they came and visit in graveyard to their beloved, whose was buried would come out and meet them, if they went near to their grave.
So, they did not come afternoon, in this big Graveyard there were no other guard.
Poor people could not afford to pay for guard and people who believe that tradition did not want to be work as a guard here.
The old man guarded the rich people graves and only dig for them. Rich people were more superstitious.
And about the night time, if soul come out, it would become evil soul. So people did not come at night. That why graveyard was less people visiting place.
Only morning time, and when they came, they did not want other people around their visiting hour.
Old man needed to work afternoon and night guard.
There were some Questions for Zora. When people tried to buried him was afternoon and how would they buried him?
"Why were those people come in just now?" Zora asked Tin Ye.
"Is morning now master!" She answered with scare because of Zora voice was stiff.
"Morning? I just got light sleep and now morning?"
"You don't need to scare just answer."
"You and young lady slept for a long time, master!"
"Really? That mean soon people would come?"
"Yes, morning time people come."
"Than I should go and hide. And what would you do? Would you come and hide, or stay here?"
Tin Ye stopped and could not answered.
After a while with timid voice,
"I think, I should stay here like normal day? I took record of money, date and place of burial when old man slept on morning time."
"So, let do it, I would go hide. If someone asked you about us, said NO, OK?"
"Yes, master."
"If they asked for old man, tell them he went out somewhere."
"Yes."
After he said he went into the room for to take Yu Rou. But he saw the safety box, he wanted to try before he go.
He went there and turn the number, at that time he knew one thing..
When he touch that safe box, from his hand, metal organism went into the metal safe box.
Then he know how to open safety box. He knew when he turn the lock into that particular number his knew and stop his hand.
He smile and he know one more thing how to use his metal organism.
With the key that Tin Ye gave him, he easily open it and found.
10 gold coins, 342 silver coins and some copper coins.
According to informations,
100 copper = 1 Silver
100 sliver = 1 Gold
Money price were sort of same as USD at 1800 years on Earth. And
1 silver = 1 USD(2010)
To simplify, the old man was rich.
Old man got 1342 USD around at 19th century on Earth?
He put money inside of space bag, left 200 silver outside.
And he remember something,
"Damn I nearly forgot."
Went into kitchen took food inside of space bag left some for Tin Ye.
Some weapons and other things he thought he would need.
He gave 200 silver to her and..
"I left some food there, kept the money if something happen run from here."
"I would be back in when all people left, if I did not come back that mean I went somewhere."
"if I do not come back, you should left here too and live your life with that money out there. Don't live as a servant."
She was looking at 200 sliver, but she did not refuse and…
"Master I did not have anywhere to keep that money."
Zora show her how to open safety box and told her to kept in there.
And he went into the room, carried Yu Rou while sleeping and went out.
He went toward the hidden place that Tin Ye Lin showed him.
But after he walk into the dark, he went back to near house there were a small cave hidden behind hill and bush.
He could see the house but a bit far away.
"Ge Ge, where are we?"
"We were near from house, go back and sleep."
"She is a good woman, you could trust her."
"You mean, Tin Ye Lin?"
"Emmm…."
He did not know, how she was thinking about Tin Ye lin or she knew about her but why do he needed to argue with Yu Rou for that?
"I will believe her later, now sleep I would sleep too."
Yu Rou closed her eyes and slept again. Not only her, he felt not enough sleep.
When he went into the cave he use blanket warp around them. Some clothes as pillow.
Transform Metal worker
He transformed because it give out some heat, that stronger than normal human heat, it was not cold as metal.
This world is not hot but colder than he thought.
