Chereads / DEMI-GODS / Chapter 8 - prison time

Chapter 8 - prison time

as they approached the city gates marv had to lift his spirits as the scenery before him was quite extravagent...the inside of the capital of the arcane empire was quite beautiful and despite marv's original thoughts there didn't seem like there were any slums as far as he looked...

while marv was being escorted by the knight clique his curiosity loved everything he looked at so far...there were shops selling strange elixirs in small bottles, blacksmith shops displaying their items upfront, restaurants and even the casual street performer... marv couldn't help but take a look at what looked like a mage couple buying jewellery through the shop window...

marv didn't know why but one of the knights snorted when she looked at his expression of wonder...it seemed they thought of him as nothing more than some lowly commoner...but this didn't hurt marv in the slightest, in fact, it only made him more excited as he looked forward...

he knew that when they find out that he's to be the great saviour of all living things they would bow to him in respect and apologise profusely but there was one issue, and it was the knight captain...inwardly marv was praying to any god that if he becomes the hero she wouldn't become some companion of his cause he didn't want petty issues rising from anywhere like walking into her room and seeing her naked...by the reaction he held his cheek like as if he could picture the slap

eventually they reached a what looked like a knight outpost to the left area of the arcane city

the building had about six floors and was similar to a noble's mansion with extravagant gardens and windows. This made marv's heart sink lower...he didn't like this one bit.

they entered the knight outpost and what greeted marv was nothing that could make his mood any better...all the knights were beauties...

(mage writer: peace my dude)

as marv was escorted to the reception he was busy looking at the interior of the knight outpost, he couldn't help but admire it.

the floor was made of polished white marble same with the pillars that looked similar to pavilion pillars, the walls had pictures of different people with metal placards under them stating their name and knight rank... to marv's relief there were a few males here and there in the pictures and they seemed to have decent ranks.

marv was brought back to the situation when he was given a slap to the back of his head...he looked to see who was the assailant and the knight captain looked down on him and told him something he didn't know how to respond to

"ok, please show your identification to the receptionist clerk and we'll go through a process to see if you really aren't a criminal, you got that?"

marv cursed inwardly and tried to think of any way to give the knights any identification of himself, so when the knights saw that he stood hesitantly for a while they asked him the question once more.

marv tried to give his cutest "I don't understand what your saying, "face...unfortunately this ended with him getting slapped once more...eventually after two more cute face attempts and slaps marv gave in and confessed to not having any identification.

it was reaching dusk on marv's third day in this accursed world and he couldn't help but sigh to himself and looked around his cell for anything that could provide him entertainment...marv knew his situation and decided it was better to just not fight the predicament he was in. He called up his status screen and started playing around with the different functions it had.

eventually, he pressed a red rectangle icon next to the blue circular icon and what he saw was perplexing to him

[lady Masha information]

relationship: lowly commoner male scum

status: satisfied

health: classified

???: ???

???: ???

???: ???

marv instantly cursed out loud once he read his 'relationship' with her... and what was even more annoying was her status...

why the f^#k should she be satisfied while he was in an underground cell for the next four days feeling depressed...

he inwardly sighed and knew she was definitely fitting for a 'tsundere' heroine character.

next, he read the next character on the list... surprisingly it was the lightning wolf lord from earlier

[lord paru information]

relationship: respect for a fellow powerful being

status: asleep

health: high

location: mythic forest

???: ???

???: ???

the question mark symbols perplexed Marvin but he calmed down when he read his relationship with him... after he read the information a dark figure approached his cell from the other side of the bars, marv didn't pay him any attention as he believed he had more important things to pay attention to, however, upon seeing this it seemed the figure was agitated as it picked up a stone and threw a pebble in between the bars straight at his head

marv couldn't dodge cause he wasn't paying attention to the figure and when the pebble struck his head it had a lot more force behind it than a normal pebble, when marv came back to his senses he held a hand to the side of his head and looked to the figure in surprise and anger, blood started gushing out at a surprising amount and when marv looked at his hand it was dark red with his own blood.

marv spent a whole minute vomiting out the meal the knights had recently given him as he didn't really like seeing blood all too much...when he managed to calm down he slowly put his hand back to the side of his head, but when he felt it there seemed to be any wound to his head and when he pulled his hand back there was no blood.

{the hell?...}

as marv was thinking the figure decided to throw another pebble to gain attention, unfortunately, this one hit marv right in his emerald green eye and marv spent the next ten minutes cursing and hurling once more...damn
