Adam was at an unease when he thought what should he do to hold a conversation with that girl but he kept that aside as he moved towards the window to look around.
What he saw was a sight of a city which was shining bright in the daylight. People were doing their daily errands , there was a large fountain not to far from where he was , he thought maybe that is the centre of this town. Adam could also see a large white castle far from where he stayed.
After watching the city from the window, Adam thought it's time to go to the world of the unknown. Adam was antisocial and hardly had any experience with holding a conversation.
When he opened the door he saw a staircase leading downwards. As he went down , he got a vague idea about where he was staying at. The ground floor had the same wooden flooring and there were multiple table set up where people were eating and drinking with a bright smile, some were vibing with themselves while others were enjoying with their friends. It was obvious he was at a hotel.
Later, the same sweet voice called out his name. But this time he saw whose it was. There stood a girl wearing a white apron , with a skirt with a bright red top. She was really beautiful. She had a white tone to her skin and a little red glow around her cheeks and hands. She had a name tag that said" Emily ".
At first Adam was consumed in her appearance but soon remembered what he had to do. Adam first asked "H-hey Emily, what're you doing ?". Emily looked confused but said soon after " Shut you mouth and change fast , we're on short of men".
Adam thought maybe he was working in this hotel when suddenly a big man came , almost double his size , he was tall and had his muscles bulging out and said " Hey kid, Can't you get to work already or you want to be kicked out of this inn too".
Adam knew what an inn meant because of all the JRPGs he played. Adam was too scared of the man and didn't saw his name tag. Adam quickly changed by going to the room that said "Workers only". As soon as he came he was given a little notebook and was told to go and take orders. The big man looked less frightening now.
Adam without a thought went to the customers and thought" I'm just playing a game , everything will be fine".
The customer in front of him looked like a reasonably good man, he came with a girl with blonde hair and he was himself suited in a good attire. Adam was shaking like a twig but said politely" What would you like, S-sir ?". Of course he was nervous but soon he took the order gave it to the chef and got accustomed with the surroundings.
Everything was going well when suddenly the man he thought was a good person suddenly stood up and angrily said " Who made this?". He pulled out a hair from the pie he ordered and said" I'll be sure to make this place shut down for this". Adam was alarmed by this sudden change of mood when suddenly he heard a strange sound.
[REQUIREMENTS MET]
Skill activation complete:
Enhanced Perception [ level 1]
As soon as Adam saw the screen with this information and looked at the man complaining and whining , he saw a red mark on top of him. Adam understood how a man who looked reasonable was actually a good old liar who just wanted to humiliate the inn.
Adam forgot what and where he was and charged directly towards him. Adam had a serious look on his face and told him" Sir , we usually are polite and treat our customers as our family but if there's a mistake from our end I suppose you can forgive us this time".
On hearing Adam's plea , he was in shock and was in a lost of words , he had no clue how could he comeback in such a situation.
He said nothing and left the inn without paying. Adam soon realised what he did and sweat was flowing like a waterfall from him when the big man came to him and said
"Good Job!" .
This time Adam saw his name tag which said " Paul Halter (Owner)". Adam was at an ease that he didn't do something bad to get on the owner's bad side. Soon the day ended with Adam chatting with both Emily and Paul to know more about the world. He borrowed Paul's book for more knowledge.
As he read it he got to know that the name of this WORLD AFTER is 'Durielga'. The same word that the system made him see at first. He now called the weird screen , the system because it made more sense.
Adam got to know that currently this world was divided into 2 categories - The Human Empire and The Demon Empire , there was also context about there being a Beast Empire but due to the great war , it was wiped out 200 years ago.
The city Adam was currently at was the capital city 'Raftel'. It was built near the royal castle which he saw from his window earlier.
There was no information about people who came here like him and so he had no clue who he should trust and he should not. While he was thinking about all this , the system showed up again.
Quest 1:
Part a - COMPLETE [ Collect Reward ]
Part b - Go to the guild hall and measure your power.
Adam recalled what the reward was and remembered it was the memories of this life. Adam hit the screen with his finger on Collect Reward and suddenly a bright light came out of the system and went inside Adam's head.
He got a headache which was almost like he's brain was about to explode , he was gaining the memories which conflicted with his actual ones from the mortal realm. This continued for an hour as Adam was panting and screaming soundlessly , not to alert anyone. Soon after this he fell asleep.
On the next morning Adam knew that he was an orphan who was living on his own by working in several inns and doing odd jobs. He also got to know that Emily had known him for like a year or so when he started working at this in.
He had a faint memory of someone named Will but the details were no clear yet , he only felt rage from that name. Adam now knew everything about the city because of the memories. Being an orphan played to his benefits because he had memories of every little place in the city he worked in.
Adam was ready to do his daily routine and decided to get some free time to go to the guild hall. His life was just getting started.
