„You've done a great job Anne! We can get so much money out of this! I will order someone to execute him."
„What? That wasn't what you promised! You can't just kill him. That's unfair!"
„There is nothing you can do about it. The capital already sent someone. What were you expecting when you told me about him?"
„I... well, I thought he would go to prison or something like that"
Tristan woke up.
‚Where am I? What are they talking about?'
Then, he realised he was chained to a table.
‚What the?!'
He was in his uniform. Anne told her dad about him. And he send somebody to kill him... that's not bad.
„Can you just leave for a moment at least?"
„What? You gonna say your last goodbyes?
Whatever"
So he left the room. Seeing his chance Tristan broke the chains with his strength and stood up. Anne stares at him.
„That, how.. you broke? That's... impossible"
Anne stuttered still a bit in shock. Then she looked at Tristan in fear.
„I swear, I didn't do anything! This wasn't my doing! I uh just randomly walked in to this room, I... please don't hurt me"
Tristan just look her in the eyes. Anne started to sweat.
‚He just broke his chains! That's so strong. I hope he doesn't do anything. He could even kill me! And I'm alone here with him. Oh god what have I done'
For her surprise Tristan just walked to the door and tried to open it. It was looked. Just to give her an extra scare he turned around slowly and smiled at her.
„No please leave me alone!"
She pressed herself into a corner of the room. Tristan turned towards the door again and
BAM
The door flew into an corridor as he punched it. Then he walked away.
„I told you I will leave today, so I will leave today."
And that's the last thing she heard from him.
Or so she thought.

Surprisingly there weren't many guards on his way out. Tristan took the next best carriage he found and rode off. He changed his appearance to a black haired boy, with black eyes. His clothing remained the same. He originally planned to just go to another village and stay there for a while, without anything happening on the way. But that plan failed.
(A/N: of course it does, I need content)
Tristan met some bandits on his way, and since he had no weapons, was alone and was driving a good looking carriage he was attacked. Several times, and his carriage wasn't so durable as he was, so it broke. Tristan then didn't encounter many bandits, but it was the following day, he would get his first friends. Sure, he didn't knew that. He just kept on walking and walking. At night he went off-road to make a new camp. He made a little fire and prepared his bed. After eating some meat he hunted he sat at the campfire for a while and then went to bed.
Tristan was standing on a Field. It was burning, people were running like crazy, trying to escape the fire.
‚I got to get out of here!'
The fire spread too fast. Everybody was now in the fire. Smoke filled his lungs and eyes. Tristan started coughing. He tried to get out of the fire. The heat caused him to sweat hard. Although he did have his [Defense] he neither had Fire nor any temperature resistance. Basically, fire could harm him like any other human. His shirt caught fire, and so did his shoes. He took them off as fast as he could. And then he opens his eyes.
‚This was a Dream? That does make sense, because I put up my camp in an forest'
Indeed, he still was in the forest. But the fire was too. Tristan quickly got up and ran. Just like in his dream some of his clothes started burning and he had to get rid of them. Soon he came out off the forest, with no more than burned pants. Many people were there to fight the fire with water buckets.
When he left the forest part and entered the road some people came to greet him. It was a team of five people. Two boys and three girls, all rather young looking, but still older than him. (Keep in mind Tristan was only 14). The first boy also had black hair. He wore normal clothes and had a sword at his wrist. He was a swordsman. Next to him was the other boy, well built and a big shield. He was the tank. The first of the girls was an archer, with only a little dagger as a close combat weapon. The other two girls had what Tristan would guess to be some kind of wand. Probably one or two mages and maybe a healer.
„Hey there. Im Kyto."
„Hello. My name is Alan."
Tristan knew that his normal body was well known, about his name he wasn't sure, so he used a fake one just to be on the safe side. Tristan greeted the group very formally. Using common sense, the group was surprised, with reason. If a boy, not even adult yet, ran out of the forest with nothing but burned pants you wouldn't expect him to greet you, you would probably think that he would at least be out of breath. Tristan Never added a [Stamina] categorie, so his stamina was under the categorie [Strength], wich was pretty high at 500.
A little bit irritated the swordsman continued to introduce the other team members.
„Well anyways, next to me is our Tank, Kyhoko, he's also my big brother. Then there is Lisa, our archer, our combat-mage Elenna. Lastly our healer Misty. She is a bit shy.
„Hi there"
They seemed to be good friends, and also kind to others. Tristan was curious about them.
„Are you some kind of special force? With your classes you must be."
„Special force? Ha you are a funny one. We're just adventurers, but not to bad ones at that. Come with us. We were on our way to Gendal city. We can explain you everything on the way. That is if you want to come of course."
„Yes please. I would gladly learn more about this."
Tristan couldn't let this opportunity slide. This adventurers thing was new to him, so why not learn about it, maybe it's helpful.
