Chapter 4 - Chapter-3 My past life

After returning to the castle Anna went to her chamber and I went to mine own chamber. Living a day in prison was a hard thing even for us mercenaries. Throughout my life I have never spent a single day in prison.

Tick… Tick…

Oh!! I forget to check my system.

"Open System"

I have a special ability that can only be seen and heard by me.I haven't told you all my story yet. You see, back 2yrs I was on planet earth. Enjoying my life as a rich kid. I have all the riches in my life, my dad owns multiple billion dollar companies. I used to have all the luxury back then.

But one day I had a chance to play an early access VR game developed by the famous developer epic game. They were the guy that developed PUBG and fortnight back in the 20s

They took 10 years to develop a medieval game in which players were assigned random characters and should play it till the last.

After getting my hands on the game I used to spend hours and hours playing the game. But one day suddenly and thunderstruck at my house and from that day onward I am stuck in this game.

The only way out is to survive till the last part. And it's only been two year.

"Open system sathi"

Sathi is my personal assistant, she helps me to understand the game and guides me in it. The more I upgrade her the more features she gets. But now she only has a few features including trading, Informing and guiding me.

"Welcome,Sir Nirjung. What do you want me to do for you today?"

Sathi is just like other human beings,she has emotions too.

But today she is angry with me because I haven't turned her on.It's been a month since I have checked my system, my first task provided by the system was to enroll in a mercenary group and create my own group.

I have successfully created a group with much hardship but still I lack a castle which is the most important thing to have for a mercenary group. Having a castle officially makes a mercenary group recognized by others. Till date my group is only identified as individual mercenaries.

After I build my own castle my trial phase will be over. Which means I would be identified as a real player.

"Hey player 230 my name is Nirjung

"Hello Nirjung my name is John"

"Do you still have some portion of disguise left?"

"Yes,I have"

"Look I really need it so could you sell it at 100 paisa?"

"No sorry I won't"

Ahh!!This guy is so seriously scamming me. Portions of disguise only cost around 70 paisa, since no other player is in the market selling this stuff he is clearly enjoying monopoly. I need to get it.

"Then can you exchange it with other things?"

"If the thing is useful then us I would"

"I have got a golden apple, will you exchange it with a portion?"

"What no, Golden apple is registered in trading it only costs 100 paisa."

"Ok ok then will you exchange with golden apple plus 50 paisa?"

"Humm...sounds like a fair deal now.Ok the offer is accepted."

"Sir,that was an unfair deal. Why would you make that deal?"

"I know that I will be in need of it shortly. Just my gut feeling."

"You could have waited for the price to drop"

"No what if the price jacked off? Open inventory, send the golden apple and paisa."

**Inventory opened.Transfer successful.**

**Received portion of disguise from player 230**

When will this training phase be over. I am not gaining any skill points, no quest this life sucks man. I need to build my castle fast. Tomorrow I also need to visit the lord better get proper sleep.

***Morning***

Today is a new start, I need to go check in Anna to see if she is okay. Probably now Arlo has returned with the job in hand.

I walked upto the chamber castle and see the maid cleaning the floor.

Seeing me she bows in respect.

"Where is Anna??"

"Lord,she is in the yard training"

"How many times I should say to you don't call me lord. Sir is enough for me."

Then I walk toward the castle yard. Anna is training with her sword.

"Training alone Anna?"

"Good morning, captain. We don't have any guard ,mind joining me?"

"Not in the mood today Anna.Any news about Arlo?"

"Yes he has returned for the visit. Currently he is asleep. He was attack by the bandit on the way"

"What???Is he okay now?"

"Yes, just minor cut in arms"

"The bandit will pay for this"

"See that's why I am training myself. Getting ready to take revenge on them."

I walked upto Arlo chamber and knocked on the door.After giving knock I entered the chamber and found Arlo resting at the bed.

"Arlo?Are you fine?"

Noticing me, Arlo opens his eyes.

"Captain,Thank you for your concern. I am fine, just a few minor cuts."

"How could this bandit dare to attack a mercenary"

"Since we are not officially register as a bandit group the bandit thought I am solo mercenary and attack me"

"I knew this would happen. But don't worry we have enough gold to build our own castle."

"No..No captain I am not worried about that,it was fun beating those bandits."

"Can you identify their group?"

"Yes they are east forest bandit"

"Ohh!!!I see so the east forest bandit became successful to takeover north forest bandit group"

"Now they will surely have a hard gold bounty in them.Revenge along with gold,sounds delicious."Anna speaks.

"OWOW...when did you come in?"

"When you were talking to the captain. Cap, she will be ready to march on them?"

"No Anna not today, We will surely make them pay"

"Why not today the day is chill, the sun is up.Beside I could pour my yesterday anger on them"

"No Anna, we have to wait for the perfect moment. Now since they have taken over to north forest bandit this means they have doubled in size.Which means double in courage,double looting and raping, which means double the payrool for us"

"HOw could I have not thought of that."

"(laugh)if we have that much intelligence won't you be the captain instead if him"

"Stop you fool" Anna says kicking arlo

"Now we must let Arlo rest for a while.By the way Alro do you got the job?"

"Yes, captain. But the lord wants us to build our own castle and identify ourself legally as a mercenary group.But for now I have convinced him to not to give this job to other. He gave us a month to collect the tax."

"Well we have got a month then. Today the lord has invited us to dinner so you two be ready at dawn."

They both nod.

I need to check on the mayor what he is up to.
