Chereads / The Journey Of The Immortal King / Chapter 11 - Cold Coffee

Chapter 11 - Cold Coffee

Now kazama after coming out of the hotel thinks "I should go and meet Arthur" and so kazama head out to Arthur's house.

Kazama reached Arthur's house within minutes and now he is standing infront of it. He knocks on the door,tuck.…tuck.…tuck and waits for 5 seconds. Nema opens the door and both nema and kazama faces each other. Both smiled on seeing each other and nema says "come in kazama oh.…Arthur is out on his shop". Kazama replies "thanks, then I should go and meet him there,bye".

Nema says "ohk,bye"

And so kazama left for Arthur's shop.

When kazama reaches Arthur's shop he is happy to see that Arthur is doing his best at his shop. Arthur seems busy as he is constantly serving the customers with their desirable fruit to check and buy. Arthur also modified his shop a little, now he also has seating arrangements inside and also a service for coffee serving.

When Arthur saw kazama he handed his work to his assistant and came towards kazama and said "oh.….come on kazama let's go and grab a coffee".

Kazama and Arthur both got seating in the cafe and started talking.

Arthur - "how are you?"

Kazama - "I'm fine,just trying to get a job to earn more money"

Arthur - "oh that's good but what happened, you look sad?"

Kazama - "ah..it's just that there are no current jobs and Ms.Futergurt told me that it would be like this for a month"

Both took a sip of their coffee and looked at each other.

Arthur - "oh..that's sad. But then can't you travel to the capital of Espin or to any other kingdom. I am sure there they would have more jobs"

Kazama - "hm...can I? Oh why can't I? Yes I can, sure"

Kazama got happy as he has some hope left.

Kazama - "then where should I head to?"

Arthur - "you should probably go to the Kingdom of Lumeria, which is currently a trade centre and it's more prosperous than the Cynthia(capital of Espin)".

Kazama - "good, then how should I get there?"

Arthur - "when you will go out of the kingdom of Espin, there are two roads ahead, one is going towards right and the other one is going towards left".

"The left one will take you to your destination but after you start moving on the left one you have to find that Kingdom of Lumeria on your own"

After saying this Arthur winks at kazama and takes a sip of his coffee.

Kazama clearly understood this and he hurriedly finishes his coffee, pays for his coffee and started running towards his hotel saying "thanks for telling me, I will head there once the sun rises".

And he didn't stopped running before he reached his hotel.

He reached his hotel but he is out of breath and he stops outside and took a minute to breathe then head inside and after taking his keys he immediately went to his room.

It was evening and so he also got dinner and after that he fell asleep.

Kazama was excited for the first time after coming to this world. He was happy as he will be going to see new cities, kingdoms and will be able to meet new people and ofcourse with this he will get a new job and also he will get more stronger.

Kazama was so excited that even before the sun can rise he woke up. He then packed his few things and managed to hold them in a bag but obviously he will not carry his bag so he opened his pocket(a substantial space where he can put anything) and threw them there.

As it's the end of his 24 hour purchased room and with the fulfilment of 2 meals he can't get another one unless he pays for another 24 hours so he went to the reception and handed over his keys. Then he steps out of the hotel.

When he stepped out he saw that the sun is rising and it's a beautiful view.

Kazama started walking towards the gate of the kingdom to go outside, but he thought "shouldn't I first go and bid farewell to Arthur and his family?"

He further thought "but they should be sleeping right now. Hm.…then I have no choice so I will go without disturbing them".

He soon reached the north gate and steps outside. He suddenly stops and while standing he turned his upper half and with a smile on his face he said "thank you for everything Arthur" and he started walking.

Now kazama is walking on his path to get to the Kingdom of Lumeria but with all of his excitement he forgot the main thing and said "crap...now I am hungry and just why didn't I thought that I haven't eaten anything?". Kazama is walking but his stomach seems to be upset as he didn't have anything to eat.

Now kazama is starving so much that he can't even walk, he is bended and is now walking like an old man. Just when the starvation is going to knock him out he heard the voice of running water, at first he thought it's just his imagination and says "now I am starving so much that I can hear water flowing" but suddenly he stopped and said "I am now outside and there's a chance that a river is nearby" this thought made him happy and he started running on the road screaming "I am saved, I am saved" till he reached the river.

He saw that the river is crystal clear and he kneeled down, bend towards the river and started drinking its water. At this point he saw his reflection in the river and after he drank water he says "now that I think about it I am more handsome than I was in my previous world" and he raised his right hand and ran his hand through his hairs.

Kazama has black hairs, his eyes are black with a light shading. He is fit and quite tall but not too tall. Overall he is handsome. And as his body is modified by the system, thus he has a bit different body than he had in his previous world.

After drinking water he continued his journey.

Its now noon and he is still walking, the sun is shining brightly and it's hot, kazama is sweating.

After walking this much kazama is exhausted but he can't rest on the road so he is still walking in the hope that he can find anything, any place to rest.

While walking kazama saw a shop not too far away and when he reached that shop he finds out that it's a cafe and it also serves meal and kazama says "now I can finally rest a little" and he went inside the shop.

The shop is rectangular in shape and some people were enjoying their drinks, while some were eating their meal. Kazama ordered cold coffee which is exclusive to only a few parts of this world and it's quite expensive and some food to eat.

Kazama's order was served and he first finished his food then started drinking his cold coffee peacefully. While drinking he thought "with this I have now very few money left so I should find a job soon" and he quietly drank his cold coffee. He also thought "this cold coffee is different than the one I drank on my world but their names are surprisingly same".

He also acquired some information from the people there and from the reception. They told him that Kingdom of Lumeria is very close to this shop so kazama had to just walk a little more. Then kazama left.

Kazama is walking and the sun is going to set soon. Its evening.

Kazama finally reached the outskirts of the Kingdom of Lumeria and he saw that the kingdom is looking beautiful from where Kazama is standing. Kazama thought "I finally reached the Kingdom of Lumeria" and he smiled.

Kazama started walking towards the kingdom but he saw that a person is coming towards him running. He thought "this person might be in danger" so he asked "what happened?" But that person suddenly shooted a fire arrow to kazama and kazama was surprised so he took that arrow straight head on. It's impact was big, there were smoke everywhere and by the way that person is a girl, so she thought "taking an arrow from someone like me, he can't stand it" and she started running ahead but amidst that smoke a shadow appeared and kazama said "where are you going without giving an explanation for this act of yours". That girl is surprised and she stood there, kazama came out of smoke and took a closer look to that girl.

She is wounded, some parts of her dress are torn off like she was caught in an explosion, she is scared, and she is out of mana as she is struggling to just stand.

Mana is necessary to cast spells in this world and everyone have limited mana. So once mana is exhausted that person can't use spells run by mana for some time but they can use it after a day or after some rest.

That girl said "why are you people following me? I just don't want to do this. You all are evil. What have I done to get treated like this? What are you trying to do?"

Kazama can't understand why she is asking that to someone she just mets. Kazama said "I don't even know who y-"

Kazama was speaking but she used another spell and this time it's a flame. She threw flame at kazama and after that flame is gone she saw that kazama is gone and suddenly kazama appeared behind her and he grabbed her wrist and kazama tried to calm her down but suddenly kazama felt the presence of another attack and obviously it's not from her so he threw the girl aside and took that attack head on. The attack came and kazama was unprepared, there was a huge imapct, a big explosion happened and smoke is everywhere. That attack threw kazama to a certain distance and the girl passed out by the explosion.

Kazama stood up, a certain part of his dress is burnt by that explosion and kazama stood up and he stood casually with both of his hands in his pants pockets.

He saw that 5 people with black outfit suddenly showed up and this surprised kazama. He said "oh come on, today everyone is attacking me without even knowing about me" and kazama further says "so you are responsible for this mess" and the look in his eyes is very scary, he is very angry.
