Chapter 11 - In the city

He walks and drags his left foot closer to the 8 ft wall which is about the same height as the monsters. It's made out of huge logs with carved points at the top.

'There's a city so close to my dungeon? I think I can already guess what race lives here' He sighs. He looks left and right to see if he can find an entrance, but to no avail it's nowhere in sight.

{Try walking around some more}

Cyrus was about to go around until he decided to stop and think for second. He looked towards the wall then at his foot. 'f*ck it, i'm gonna hate myself for this' He starts walking back about 30 feet from the wall.

{What are you doing?}

'I'm going inside the village' He grins. Cyrus shakes his hands, jumps on his right foot to ready himself and dashes up to the wall while wincing in pain. Once he got close enough, he jumped and immediately grabbed the top of it slamming his feet onto the wall.

"Sh-...That hurts" he suppresses his urge to shout.

{Why are you doing this? You could have just gone through the entrance.}

'Pics let's think for a moment. Do you think they'll just let me in? They've never seen a human before and I don't have anything that I can disguise myself with. Plus, I don't want to keep walking'

{How would this make your situation any better?}

He grunts and lifts his right foot over the wall. 'So that the first person that sees me isn't a guard, and because it saves me time.' After he manages to get his left leg over, he carefully jumps down. 'They really should have made their wall higher'

Cyrus is now in a back alley way with a few stores made out of clay and wood. It seems that the stores are either out of business or closed because there's not a single soul anywhere.

'Hm, not a witness in sight'. He starts to inspect the area to find anything to hide his identity with. There are lots of barrels just laying around and trash all over the floor. When he searched through the barrels, he found and picked up a cloak that was hidden inside.

'This will have to work for now..' Luckily, when he puts the cloak on it's a perfect fit. In addition, the hood of the cloak comes with a mask that's shaped like a mouse's snout, so it covers his face enough for outsiders to not know what he looks like.

{What's the plan?}

'Look for a doctor'

Cyrus makes a couple of turns out of the back alley until he comes across hundreds of micell's walking in the dirt road. They were all different colors, shapes and sizes. Much like humans, but they're rodents. On the left and right side of the road there were many types of stores. Food stalls, weapon stalls, armor stalls, jewelry stalls and much more.

'Neat' He grins.

'How much time do I have left?'

{2 hours}

'It's been an hour already? Wow'

{How are you going to find the doctor? }

'I'm going to ask s-....' he pauses '...wait... do they speak the same language as me?'

{Yes, the lords made it a rule that the dungeons can only be teleported to worlds that speak the same language as them}

Cyrus sighs of relief, 'Good, cause that would have been a hassle. I'm going to ask someone of course. It would be stupid to look for it myself'

He strides up to a light brown female mouse with two little mice by her side. She was hesitant to talk to him because of his suspicious appearance, but she complied anyway.

"Hey, where is the closest doctor?"

{At least have some manners when you ask}

He rolls his eyes.

"Um, if you walk straight and take a left by the statue of Lord Kans then you will arrive at Dr. Otis's place" She smiles slightly

"Got it" He turns to leave, but one of the little mice pulls on his cloak.

"Hey mister?"

The mother reaches out her hand "Luke!"

"It's fine" he smiles. Cyrus really didn't have a problem with it, because he kind of liked kids. It was the teens or adults that irritated him the most. Especially since they treated him the worst when he was back on earth.

"What is it?" He crouches down to the kid's level.

The kid walks up to his ear and whispers, "That old man steals and does bad stuff. My brother and I went over by his store once and we heard someone cry for help. Mom said I can't say bad things about people, but I think I should tell you"

Cyrus grins,"Thanks, kid" He rubs the top of his head.

The kid smiles,"You're welcome!" He waves bye and leaves with his mother.

*************

'What's this? Is this one of the quests Fuschia was talking about?' He starts to read it and frowns.

'They want me to play hero? Are you serious?'

{What's wrong with that?}

'I don't see why I should'

{You will get a reward}

'The reward is unknown! What if I only get 10 kolons from this quest?'

{I think you should do it. You never know}

He sighs, 'I'll think about it, but if the person is a tsundere or a self-centered person i'm leaving them there. I read about stuff like this back on earth and It irritated me every single time'

{Affirmative}

With a limp, he walks straight towards the statue just like the lady said. However, before he turned left he looked at the statue for a bit. It was of a oversized mouse with a top hat, coat and cane. Cyrus looks down and notices that there are words at the bottom. The statue reads:

-Lord Kan: The most intelligent, handsome, generous, ambitious, trustworthy and hardworking man you'll ever know-

Cyrus cringes at the statement. "Yeesh, you would think he made that himself" After he's done examining it, he turns to the left and immediately finds the store. It has a huge sign that says," Otis's miracle medicine"

'Alrighty, time to get healed' He walks up to the door and opens it. As soon as he got inside, Cyrus's nose was slapped by the strong mint aroma in the room making his nose scrunch up a bit.

"How may I help you?" A champagne haired female mouse with scrubs walks up to him.

"I just need to get my leg bandaged and healed"

"Of course, right this way" she smiles in an unsettling manner and takes him to an empty room which was quite a long distance away from the entrance.

"Please wait and rest here until the doctor comes" She gestures towards one of the beds.

His eyebrow raises "Y'all don't have any other patients?"

"It's a slow business today" She bows, walks out of the room and closes the door.

"How interesting" He chuckles. A few minutes later from waiting on the bed, a small voice suddenly cries out from somewhere in the room "You need to leave!"

Cyrus gets up from the bed and turns around, "Why?"

"It's dangerous here!"

"Then, I think i'll stay" He smiles and walks to the back of the room.

"Why!?"

"Cause if I leave... I'll miss all the fun" He opens the locker that was in the back right corner. "So are you gonna stay in here or are you going to come out already?"
