Chapter 7 - The fight begins

I went up the stairs they squeaked with every step. It seemed to be a very old hotel but it should be enough for the next time. I reached the top level. My room was what you see first. It was an old black wooden door with a kind of chalk painted on it nummber70. I put the key in it was an old rusty one but made of gold. I didn't know the gold could rust, but here in this world it seems to work. I turned it to the right and the door opened silently. I took a few steps inside. A small stone bed and some kind of wool pillow and blanket. The bed was in the middle of the room, there was only one candle, no lamp or magic saying that I know I could produce light so I lit the candle on the fire, it was already dark outside. There was a door I opened it and a repulsive stench came towards me. It was a toilet like those toilets on the autobahn, they stink even worse. I quickly locked the door again before the stench spreads throughout the room. I lay down on my bed and fell asleep quickly it had been an extremely exhausting day. When I opened my eyes it was light. The candle was already gone because of the win that passed through the room because there were some holes in the walls.

I got up and went outside. I was slowly starting to stink. I should go to a bathhouse or a hot spring. I went to the gentlemen at the reception and asked where you could wash it. He said there are some hot springs about 155 Miles south of here, otherwise it is nothing closer. I almost thought he was joking. But he seemed very serious. I thanked him, gave him a gold coin and went out. Now I noticed that some animal people were walking around here. A sheep man, a pig man and more.

I walked across the street and went towards the bar where I had met the group of adventurers yesterday. I went inside the group of adventurers were already waiting for me. I sat down. They told me they would like to see some of the tasks in the guild. To test myself if I am strong enough for your group. I thought they were beginners but don't care. They got up and I followed them. When we arrived at the guild they went to reception. They said they would like to add a new person to their group. The woman at the reception wore a purple coat and had black hair that came down to her shoulders. She said ok. She said new beginner tasks are becoming available. It was an order on the beginner's board, something made of solid wood. An order was there you would have to bring a holy priestess to her church. You could be persecuted by murderers, monsters or other people.

The reward was 5000 gold. The dragon ran straight to the woman at the reception and he wanted to take the job straight away. But at the bottom of the poster the rank was missing S, A, B, C, R and D were crossed out and it was downgraded to beginners. I was worried because reaching S rang is almost impossible. But it was already too late the dragon man accepted the order because he was attracted by money and dragons love gold as it is known. The priestess comes running straight away, she had died a great one. It had a gold handle on top was a circle with the sign of the all-seeing eye. She bowed and thanked us for accompanying her. Our group set off. When we left the city I asked the dragon man which city we had to go to. He said we have to go to the city of ice-cold hearts, Erith. I asked why is this the city of cold hearts because there are all the people who cannot feel any feelings like joy. They are the people you don't want to know. We came slowly into a forest. There were a lot of trees there, some red, other pink, others black. It was like a rainbow forest. It was wonderful if I hadn't died I would never have been able to experience this beautiful second life it suddenly wasn't so bad that I'm in another world. I was taken out of my thoughts and suddenly the ground shook. The bottom opened and we fell down.
