He was roughly able to sleep the night. So many things happened the day before. He was too weak, He had to upgrade his items and skills. He also had one more day of walking till the next city. He tried to communicate with Kenoni a couple of times, Kenoni though never answered him.
*Could it be that She is frighten of the previous event? Why? I mean, ok , I understand that She just experienced new feelings and became confused, but now She is safe, I know how to control my feelings and I am not letting her interfere with them. She is such a sceardy cat, when it comes to feelings. I should keep a note about this.*
Keeping this information at the back of his head he came back to the most important topic, He had to upgrade his items and skills. He is weak. He must get stronger.
A sudden noise interrupt his thinking. A rock fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. He avoided to grab Kenoni, so he just got ready to fist fight with anything. Luckily, it was just a rock that fell from the mountain from his left, a strange animal was running and jumping around just like goats.
It had horns but the structure of the body was way off, by that of the goat. It had red eyes and black coat. It also had way to many muscles at the back legs and two tails. Azar got distracted and stop thinking about the improvements, and start thinking what could be happening at that specific spices of goats, what happened and it should advance more leg muscles and two tails.
Time was passing peacefully. But Azar was getting distracted by the weird animals and flowers he was passing by. Some was normal flowers, like the ones he used to see back to earth.
A strange bird just passed by and he could slightly catch it with his eyes.
*Four wings, this bird can fly so fast because of that, also it's body structure help the aerodynamic speed to get even faster... Where the fuck am I...?*
This time, he could understand some things about this world, but he was still in such a big confusion.
*I can't understand it, there are so many similarities with earth but so many differences. The oxygen of this world is the same, there is water and there are same metals , iron , bronze... Seriously, where am I? and most importantly, where are my friends. People from my world were here too, i haven't seen anyone else though.*
Time passed fast, while Azar was wandering in his thoughts, night have fallen he was full of energy so he decided to continue walking. He was now to the main road to the city, so there were those pillars that were giving light to the passerby people.
In a couple more hours he should be at his destination. A road sign had written on top of it Shufa, and it was pointing at Azar's final destination. He was almost there. At the Capital of Futsu, Shufa.
He finally reached his destination. A huge city, the city at it's highest place has a huge castle, that's all he could see outside the gates. Two guards stopped him.
"Stop right there!"
"Who are you kid?"
"I'm Azar"
"I see no last name means not a wealthy family, what's your reason to visit this city?"
"I am a traveler and I also am seeking to join this city guilt."
"I see, you are the third coming for this kind of job this past month, if i am right they were about your age, brave generation... or a stupid one. So you are a traveler, what was your last visited city?"
*I will act like I didn't hear that... What is the other guard doing?*
"I am coming from Etan, may I ask a question?"
"Etan huh..."
He said and looked at the other guard, then looked back at Azar.
"Sure, bring it."
"What is the other guard doing?"
He looked at the other guard again, the other one just nodded in agreement.
"He was checking if you are a criminal. Now let me ask you, did you happen to pass from the hunter's forest?"
*So he was checking if i am a criminal. Should not tell anything wrong, or i will end up in jail."
"No, is there anything wrong?"
"Well, no , you are just lucky, they said that yesterday, people were screaming and many trees fell and some said that a demon was having it's feast."
"I see, I don't know if i can believe it though, i was sleeping near the forest and i heard nothing."
"The forest is huge, they said it was from this side, but still it could be just a prank or something."
"I see... So am i clean?"
He looked at the other guard and he once again just nodded in agreement.
The gates opened, after one guard went inside a small building.
"You can open the gates from the outside?"
"Hahaha, No, don't worry you are safe inside these walls."
He headed toward The Wishing Night, the same name of the inn he was at Etan.
He rented a room, with 50% off and went to sleep.
*Sigh... One last try...*
-Kenoni, will you talk to me?-
-...-
-...-
*Still nothing huh? ok, I'll try again tomorrow.*
He slept, this time without any nightmares, but neither dreamed, he just rested. He woke up the next day and tried to familiarize himself with the city.
*Weird... restricted section, i guess i cant go over this. At least for now.*
The city was huge, the closer to the castle the richer the people, the architecture was a little bit weird, the rich houses had those weird patterns at their walls and fences.
*So all the patterns, end up in the castles, I see. It could have something to do with the religion of this place or something like that.*
The first day , he was just wandering around, trying to communicate with Kenoni with failure, admiring the city and trying to think ways to get stronger.
The next day, he went straight to the guilt after he ate a strange dish, it was a steak with a strange taste, way better with some salt, a blue sauce made out of something that tasted sweet, he was scared at first because the same color was the blue apple and he didn't want to explode.
The guilt was a big building near the castle, he went in. A big room with some tables, it was more like a club, with the only difference this place was huge.
"Hello fellow, wanderer, are you interested in joining our guilt?"
*She scared the shit out of me!!!*
"Sigh... Yes, I am here to join."
"Alright follow me please."
*A girl near her 18 years of life, she is near my height... and i am 2 years older.*
"Write your name here, your height and then answer this questionnaire please."
*Azar, 1.7...8, magic user... check, sword user... check*
"Hey, i am done."
"Alright, do you want to join some of our teams or you want to go alone?"
"I will go alone for now, if i would like to join a team i will come straight to you."
"Thank you very much, kind sir. The dungeon is a scary place so, consider about it."
"Alright, I'll keep that in mind."
"I would suggest you to wait a little bit, a team should be here soon, if you want to join them just inform me and I'll talk to them... Then it's up to them if they want or not."
"Thank you very much."
After half an hour some heavily armored men and women entered the room with a big bag and an injured man. They talked to the girl, she took the bag and the team took the injured man upstairs. Then the girl came back to Azar.
"As you see, dungeons are scary and dangerous."
"Don't worry about it, I think I am going to be ok."
"Just don't die, please."
"Alright, if you are that worry about it, i will try to join a team and then check ou the dungeon."
"Thank you."
As she said that a sudden loud inhale sound near Azar, like someone was extremely surprised and two arms locked Azar's neck, the girl frightened took three steps back, and Azar with a skillful move threw the man grabbing him to the ground.
"WHAT THE!!!!"
