Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Testing, Traveling & Hero Time

-Open Field-

I woke up in a new world and began looking around to see nothing but an empty plain. When I look a little further I can see a lake, as I got up off the ground and I opened and closed my hands a few times, I performed so leg stretching with my before I kicked off the ground toward the lake.

[wow I can reach the lake in a second, and that was just from one kick off the ground I wonder how much strength I actually have]: Riku

As I am thinking about how much strength I have, I look in the water as I take a drink and look at appearance. Thinking back from my other world I had loved to dress up as a dark but cool superhero with red contact lenses.

[I wonder how cool that would look]: Riku

As I say that to myself I remember what god said to me. I can create anything and change my physical appearance as much as I want. With that thought in my head I concentrate with my eyes closed and say out loud.

[change]

As I look back into the water my hair grew to a long pitch black and my left eye is red while my right eyes is a dark blue, my muscles have been increased a little bit, and as I look at my abbs and I was satisfied with how they look. Then I look into my pants and without thinking I shout.

[good god, I'm huge]: Riku

I think of how I should dress next, then I get a flash of light behind me and when I turn around I see a bright light in the shape of a human and then it becomes clear.

[god-sama]: Riku

[yes it's me I forgot to give you the money I said I would give you so I came to give it to you and make sure that you could control your divine aura but it seems that you didn't need me though]: god

[divine aura? Is that what you are covered in that was blinding me?]: Riku

[yes it is and here's your money be careful, okay i'm going to go now]: god

[wait!]: Riku

[yes?]: god

As I stopped him I thought that I would ask a few questions on how to use my powers.

[how do I use my powers to the fullest?]: Riku

[oh, well with what i've seen from you already you got it down you just concentrate on what you want to get accomplished and then will it or if you want to add some cool little stunt to it either chant something like you did earlier or snap your fingers -kukuku]: god

Feeling embarrassed I reply with

[so you seen that did you?]: Riku

[well yes I know everything that i want in this world and I was just watching you for the mean time and saw that but when around people you probably should make some fake chants and call it magic you made, you'll become famous that way]: god

[well ok also how do I use the divine aura, I can tell that it can be a strong weapon against opponents or wild animals]: Riku

[well it falls in the category of don't tell anyone because if you let it out they would know immediately but i'll tell you if you promise only to use it against an enemy you plan to kill or to monsters ok?]: god

[yes I understand god-sama]: Riku

[ok so all you do is raise your battle spirit to max then force divinity into it and to release divinity you need to concentrate on your godly prowess]: god

[I think I understand. Like this?]: Riku

[yes just fine for your first time it was a little weak but you'll get it with practice]: god

As I was able to pull off the divine aura I thought about my clothing and asked god-sama if it would be considered weird here and he said that I should change it before heading to town. I asked what looks good and he gave me some images to go from.

[well then good bye for now Riku-kun i'll see you later]: god

I said bye and as god-sama left I picked a set of clothes to wear and it matched my look perfectly and it was the look of a pitch black trench coat with an iron breastplate with a sword holster belt. I thought that I should head to town now and that's the start of my journey. As I walk along the road hoping to reach a town soon, I happen to hear a bunch of fighting going on. I am thinking of a way to find out where it was coming from so I use the power I have to heighten my hearing and I find where it's coming from. As I start to limit my strength I put what's left into my legs and start running toward the noise. When I get into view of what was happening I see 6 trolls fighting a group of wealthy looking merchants.

[bok unne de destrata compatta ne]: Unknown

[what why cant I understand them?]: Riku

I put magic power into language and now I can understand them. I see one merchant hiding inside of the carriage yelling out to the ones who look like they are not in the shape to fight.

[you stupid slaves!. Hurry and go give your lives to save me from the monsters!. If I die you will feel a painful death anyway!.]: Merchant

[oh no, I hate people like this even in the manga that I use to read. Do I really have to save him?]: Riku

As I say this to myself I am also thinking of a way to at least save these slaves. It seems that there are 5 slaves in total and to make up their genders and race its 2 beast-man male slaves 1 demon-kin male slave and 2 human girls.

[well even if I don't like what I see about this merchant I will still save him. I would like to be the hero in this story]: Riku

[fight it you worthless slaves! save my fate of death and I will feed you a slice of bread!. If you save me I will also give you some water!.]: Merchant

Wow I never thought I would hear how much the merchant would give to save his own life and it's so cheap. I hate him even more but I will still help him. As I get to the fight I snap my fingers and will have the power to destroy the 6 trolls. After the trolls are dead on the ground the merchant comes out of the carriage, he looks around and sees that he and the slaves are ok and looks my way.

[thank you you saved my life, unlike these worthless slaves. How can I repay you, as you can see I am very wealthy.]: Merchant

[well if you would really like to repay me I would like to take all 5 of your slaves as a compensation. Are you fine with that?]: Riku

[well even if you saved me and my goods from utter destruction I can really give you highly saleable merchandise. Is there anything else? Like magic scrolls, or food, maybe some stylish clothing?]: Merchant

As I thought he does not want to give away these slaves to me if he can avoid it. And to do so he's bringing up other things that wont ruin his business.

[well if you don't want to give me the slaves as compensation I can bring these trolls back and have them only target you if you like]: Riku

[haa- your bluffing only a necromancer can do that and the looks of you does not say necromancer because you're still alive. All necromancers are elder liches, undead, skeletons. So take my offer and piss off before I retract my thanks]: Merchant

This fool thinks that I can't still kill him even if I couldn't raise the dead, what a snob time to show him who's boss.

[well if you insist]: Riku

[now that's a smart boy. Now what would you like clothing, food or scrolls?]: Merchant

[your life…]: Riku

[huh?]: Merchant

*FINGER SNAP!*

As the trolls are all rising from where they were dead a minute ago the face that the merchant had me give out a little bit of a laugh. I hope this doesn't turn me into a crazy killing machine.

[huh-- haaaa. Please stop, I'll give you what you want. The slaves there yours just please don't kill me]: Merchant

[kukuku- you had your chance now die like the pig you are]: Riku

As I watch the trolls start to kill him he leaves out a remark that I will make him regret.

[haha- once I die those slave will die to because of the contract now you wont have them-kukuku]: Merchant

[oh?--]: Riku

*FINGER SNAP!*

[they're free from you now so go to hell-kuku]: Riku

[wha- impossible--]: Merchant

[haaaaaa they're here- please stop them ahhhh.]: Merchant

As that's my first kill it kind of feels weird that i'm able to watch it. So I am crazy then huh.

[[[[[we're still alive]]]]]: slaves

[ya you should be fine and now you are free to do what you like he can't chase you anymore]: Riku

[[[[[um- what is our savior's name?]]]]]: slaves

[my name is Riku Akiyama, but you can call me Riku. So what are your guys' names? Do you even have names?]: Riku

[as slaves we don't have names and will not receive a name until we are sold and a new master gives us a new name]: slave girl

[well that's unfortunate, so i will give you all a name and set you free with some money to do what you like after we get to town so please follow me]: Riku

As we get to the first town there's a long line in front of the entrance gate when we get to the guard he asks for my ID and for proof of registration of the 5 slaves. As I don't even have an ID so I tell him to wait a second while I put my hands in a bag that I took from the merchant's cart and conjure an ID and the paperwork I got when I took the stuff from the cart and put my name on them. I handed the ID and papers to the guard and he let us pass.

-Town-

The town's name is Rakin and it's a beautiful town. Now we look for an inn to settle everything.
