Takao spends the night using his phone. Gladly nobody saw him using it.
"There's no signal huh? As expected."
He tried to call to the world. But there's no response.
"What am I thinking. For course it won't work."
He then stares at the phone for a minute.
He did stupid kinds of stuff on the phone unfitting to be called a "Genius."
Of course, he can't do anything than scrambling through his phone since the streets don't have people, and shops are closed.
He then opened the WiFi. Suddenly a stupid thing happen.
"What is this?"
He saw at the WiFi. *World Internet and Landline Services 5G*
"What the hell is this? Why is it on the maximum signal?"
He clicked on it and it redirected him on a link. And it says.

"What the hell? I thought this world is primitive. But where did this come from? Commerce card? *sigh* I don't have it. Maybe I could just focus on my work for now. It's the only WiFi Though. Still. How is this at the maximum signal output? I guess there's still more to find in this world."
The time went by and he waits for the sun to rise. After hours upon hours of silence. The sun finally raise.
*Yawn* "I don't feel sleepy but I yawn huh?"
He heads back on the room since he saw on the watch that it is currently 6 AM. He never showed anyone his watch or phone. Since they didn't really know about that. And he doesn't want to since it doesn't exist here. Maybe not this place.
"What was that WiFi though? 5G? That's advanced."
"500 Gigabytes are actually way, way too much to use in just a day."
After entering the room.
"Oh, Takao."
"Yo. Martin."
"You know... He's still sleeping."
"It's fine. Hey! Wake up!"
"Wahh! Ugh... Aahhh... Master!"
"You're awake. Good."
"So. Where are we going today? Master?"
"I wanted to buy a map."
"A map? For what? Takao?"
"Let's just go."
"Let's eat first. Master!"
"Yeah. Fine. Breakfast is important too."
After heading to the built-in restaurant of the inn.
"What do you like to eat?"
"Me!? I wanted some fish. I wanted a salmon dish!"
"The salmon dishes are expensive, you know?"
"Then. Any fish. I love to eat fish after all."
"Then. Let's eat.
"Martin? What's yours?"
"Anything."
"Come on. What?"
"Just some meat. That's fine."
"Fine."
After eating. They head out.
"Where are we going today?"
"We're finding a map."
"Oh yeah. Master! I have a map of the city here!"
"There's no need for a map of the city. I know the outline of the whole city now."
"Then. What kind of map?"
"A world map."
"But master! A world map is..."
"Why?"
"It's extremely expensive. It's expensive since people put extreme effort into creating it. That is why it's expensive. But there's a map for the whole continent. It includes all the nations in it. There's also parchment that includes all descriptions of those nations. There's also for continents. Though you had to pay double to include that."
"I see. Then. Let's go. Where could we go to buy that?"
"It's in the Craftsmen Guild."
"Fine. Let's head there. I know where that is now."
After going to the Craftsmen Guild. They entered inside.
"Oh. Welcome, mister. Oh, Mello!"
"Hi there."
"Hey. Are there world maps here,"
"Oh... There's no more world map, I'm sorry. There are only continental maps."
"Then. A parchment that has a description of each continent. Is there one?"
"Yes. There is. I don't know why people wanted to read about places they can't go to. But it's fine. I will sell you one."
"Then. A map of the continent and a description of it. And also a description for the continents."
"Yes. Wait a minute here."
After a while.
"Here it is. For the map and description of the continent. 20 Gold coins. For the description of the world map. 15 gold coins."
"Fine. Here."
He gave the exact amount and they left.
"Hmm... Why are those people interested in the world map?"
They head somewhere and read the map.
"So. This the map of our continent huh?"
"Yes. So basically. We're in the west. As shown on the map. Here's the Gallensia Kingdom. And maybe up in here is the Village. And also. In the middle.
The Arwana Kingdom. Which is what we are at war for now. Up north from the village is the Wintervale where those barbarians came from.
In the south of the two kingdoms is the Raya mountain range. Which past that is the Raya Theocracy. Also. Along between Gallensia and the Arwana Kingdom runs the Great Saga River. To our village which is located after getting past the mountains.
In the east. There's the Sergeque Empire. Which is the north is where the Hamala mountains are located. There's also their own river. At the southwest is the Ayste City Alliance. Also.
Between Ayste and Raya. The Great Forest of Tok is located. Well. That's pretty much it."
"Oh. That's too many things. I kind of couldn't follow that."
"That's fine Martin."
"Master! Let's read the description of the continent!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. Well. It says.
Continent name. Althen.
The Gallensia kingdom is a peaceful nation. There are currently over 30 million people living in it. Its royal capital is called Phelarora. it is home to most elite adventurers.
In the Arwana Kingdom. A nation that values strength. There are currently 27 million people in the kingdom. Its royal capital is called Arogas. The number of elite adventurers is few. Since most people often joined the army since they are taught that it is the most honorable method to serve their kingdom.
The two countries often are having problems with each other. Yeah. And now they're at war.
Raya Theocracy. It is the home for the priests and holy warriors. There are currently 40 Million people in it. They are a peaceful country. They are helping other nations when there are problems. Like, using their priests' ability to do miracles. They are able to speed up the growth of grains and plantations in just days which should have taken a season to grow.
The adventurer system doesn't exist in the Theocracy. They are just sending their soldiers and if needed. They also send their holy warriors if needed. At the highest position. Exists the Sword Saint who is considered the strongest warrior of their nation. Unlike the kingdoms.
Their leaders are 6 cardinals which each represent things. And also considered the strongest priests. Every time each one died. They would pick an outstanding priest to replace them. The great church is also located there. Which has millions upon millions of followers throughout the entire continent.
The holy warriors are able to cast miracles. But not at the same level as the priests. It is like, they are using it to do things like making their blades flare. And other things to help them in battle. Its main city is called Quron.
Sergeque Empire. A nation that is born by conquering their four neighbouring nations. Currently has the biggest territory in the continent. Its main kingdom is also named Sergeque.
There are currently 70 Million people in it. Its emperor started as a warlord a long time ago and started a revolution. Until then he decided to conquer the other four nations to strengthen him even further. Now. Its emperor is the 12th generation. There are also lots of adventurers in this territory. And is quite a peaceful nation as of now.
Ayste City Alliance. It is formed after the conquest of the empire. The remaining survivors of cities formed it.
There are 3 councillors that act as leaders who each control certain areas in the nation. Their adventurers are not known throughout the world and they are not very much welcoming to foreigners. There are currently 10 million people in it.
The north of the continent is unexplored since it's home for incredibly strong monsters
Well. That's it."
"Actually... Takao... I couldn't understand a single bit."
"Ha! It's fine. You could review it sometimes."
"I understand it master! I have the map because somebody gave it to me. But this is the first time I read the descriptions."
"Yeah. That's enough let's go."
"How about the world map's description?"
"There's no need for that now. We would read it when we laid our hands on the world map itself."
"Yes! Master!"
