Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The city of Memphis

So where should I go first? Let´s take a look at the map first and see what I can find in backpack that he gave me. So he gave me a pouch with 5 silver coints. I am not sure whether or not this is much but it is better than nothing. I should go the the market to find out how much value they have. There is something that reminds me of a smartphone as well. But I am not sure as I have never seen such a strange looking smartphone. Maybe I should turn it on in order to find out more about it but where is the on button. Ah, here it is.

´New user detected. Do you wish to soulbind this smartphone to you? That way nobody else will be able to use this smartphone.´

What is this? Soulbind? Is is something similar to the password lock on my old smartphone? If that´s the case than sure, why not. The moment I clicked yes the strange looking smartphone begins to shine. It is so bright that it blinds me, so that I have to close my eyes. But this does not last long. As I open my eyes I notice that my smartphone has changed. It looks exactly like my old phone that I used to have on earth. I look at my contact list whitout hesitation, hoping that it is still there. And it is, the telephone number of my wife. I am trying to call here praying that it will work but...

´Your call can not connect as the other smartphone is either turned off or in another dimesion, try again later.´

I should have known it. There is no way in hell it would be that easy. But I just had to try. Looks like there are no easy solutions in life after all. I take a closer look at my phone and notice that it truely is exactly like my old phone, except for one thing. You no longer need electricity to keep it alive because it wants mana now. This should not be a problem as I decided to become a magician. So I will have more than enough mana to charge it full. And I noticed another interesting thing. It is 6 o´clock in the morning!!! Did we spend the whole night talking? No wonder he was so pissed at me. Maybe I should buy him a present the next time I see him. He helped me a lot after all. I can not imagen how helpless I would be without him in this strange world named hell. I take a closer look at the map. It is just a map of this city but I do not need more for the time being as I can use my smartphone to find things from now on. So the name of this city is Memphis and it is farely large. Maybe even larger that my hometown on earth but I am not to sure to be honest. As I walk down the main road I notice that I am really out of place looking. I still wear the clothes that I died in. I was on the way to the ocean so I was wearing short blue trousers, a white and black short sleeve t-shirt and sandals. If I had known that this would happen than I would had worn something else. No, If I would had known that this would happen I would not have driven to the ocen at all or maybe at a later date. As I walk down the road I see a clothes shop so I decide to buy some new clothes as long the price is right.

"Welcome. Oh you must be new here. Am I right?"

"Yes, I am."

´I am shocked as I did not expact the owner to be so gigantic. She is at least 4 metres tall with muskles all over her body and skin that is deep red. The only thing that most demons have in common is the red skin. I wonder why.´

"So how can I help you? Are you looking for something specific?"

"Not really I just wanted to change my clothes because I do not want to look to much out of place. But as my class is a magician I though about some kind of robe or something like that."

"Okay so how about I give you a deal. You will give me your clothes and I will give you some magician clothes for it. Is this alright with you?"

"Sure but is this really alright? My clothes are not worth that much in my opinion."

"Well maybe this was so on earth but they are quite rare in hell and there are many collectors for these kind of things."

"If it is like this than it´s fine I guess."

"Please wait a second as I will go look for some clothes for you. Do you prefer any color or is it unimportant to you."

"My sense of fashion is not the best so could you please just pick something that you think would look good on me."

"Sure leave it to me. I am not without a reason the owner of this shop."

´She is more delicate than her look would have suggested. I guess you really can not judge a book from it´s cover. I am looking around as I am waiting and I must say that I am astonished of how much different clothes there are here. She truly has something for everybody. Even for somebody who is 8 metres tall but nothing taller. I wonder if 8 metres is the limit or are such people just so rare that they have to do a special commision.´

"Okay here it is. Can you plese change into it in order to find out if the size is alright. You can find the changing room to your right but I do not mind you changing in front of me."

´Is she flirting with me?´

"Sorry but I am married so I will go to the changing room."

"Such a pity but okay."

´As i am changing I am taking a closer look the the clothes that she gave me. There are leather shoes, long trousers, a short sleeve shirt and a long robe. The colores are red and black in a strange pattern. It looks like they are fighing each other. That is somehow bizarre but cool at the same time. I like it. I go out of the changing room and show it to her."

"Just how I though. It looks good on you."

"Thank you. I really appreciate it."

"No problem. When you need more than please come again."

"I will. See ya."

´Now I am ready for the mage guild. Just wait for me.´
