Chereads / The path of a normal guy / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Lisa:'' Before letting you in the school we will have to check your status, don't worry we will only check your name, race, and age, based on your age we will put you in a different group.'' She says while taking a cristal ball from under the counter.

Lisa:'' You just need to put your hand on it, the ball will do the rest.''

Not having much of a choice, Alex puts his hand on top of the top crystal ball, suddenly refreshing energy spread inside the body of Alex.

A few seconds later inside, Lisa puts a piece of paper near the ball and words magically appear in the paper, they are the same on Alex's status board, apart from the skills and the traits part missing.

Lisa:''Mhhh, oh someone is soon going to become a man, for everything is in the norm, we will put you in the 4th group, it goes from 17 to 20, we have never registered a world traveler older than 20.''

Lisa then indicates to follow her behind the counter, and she leads Alex to the courtyard of the guild.

The courtyard is structured with a free center where people can spar or train by themself, while around it doors are leading to different rooms and different areas of the guild.

Lisa:'' This here is the training area, you will spend most of the time here, Travelers come here with no fighting experience, and they would die in the outside world alone, so apart from giving them a basic understanding of the outer world, we also give them the basic skills to survive, you unlocked most of them, you just need to train them, you will also have to pick a weapon, or more, to train with, usually it's better to train only one, but it is your choice.''

She then leads Alex to several other rooms, like a kitchen, a men's and a women's bathroom, a washroom, and several less important rooms.

Lisa:''But you won't stay here for free, you will be asked to help with several tasks, they will change each day, we will also give you some money, harder the task the more money we will give you.''

Lastly, Lisa leads Alex to the church area of the guild, Alex sees Sara talking with someone, she sees him and waves, but she then continues to talk.

Lisa:'' To see if you can become a mage we will first need to see the gods that love you and hate you, you just need to pray in front of all these statues.''

In front of Alex, there is a statue with a woman holding a catalyze on her left and hand on a book on her right hand, a man holding a great sword in front of him wearing what looks like the pelt of a lion, a man with an enormous book in front of him and wearing glasses, a woman with tears falling from her eyes and holding her hands in prayer, the last two are in the middle of the other gods, they are a male and two women on the same statue, one is made of gold and the other is made of silver.

Lisa:'' Do not worry about who they are, there are other Gods, these are just the main ones.''

Ales then gets on his knees and begins to pray, he doesn't know what but he still prays.

After few seconds he doesn't feel any changes so he opens he again, wanting to tell Lisa about it, but his surroundings are completely different from before, a white world with several people surrounding him.

???:'' So he is the one.'' Says a man holding a greatsword.

???:'' I don't think he will last long.'' Says a being that looks like made of shadows.

???:'' He looks like an idiot but he is way more than intelligent than the previous one.'' Says the man holding a book.

???:'' And he already knows of the existence of mana, this surely is surprising, fufu.'' Says a woman with a long revealing dress, with a catalyze and book on her side.

Alex:''Who are you all?''

The biggest man and the tallest woman from the group go near Alex, the man is producing the light, as if he was the sun itself, while the two women are producing less light but it is more attractive.

Alex:'' Let me guess, the God of the Sun, and the Goddess of the Moons''

Sun God:'' Yes you are right, my name is Sol, while my wife's name is Mona, you are here because you are the chosen of Luck and Fate.''

Alex:'' Please don't tell me you will also curse me.''

Sol:'' Don't worry my child, it would be interesting, but no we are here because we were asked by Luck and Fate to give you our blessing.''

Alex:''... All of you? There are at least 100 Gods in here.''

Mona:'' Do not worry, our blessing will only help you in the long run, they won't give you the power to become one of us.''They said both at the same time

Alex:''Then what do I gain?''

Sol:'' Usually people decide their profession based on their talents, which means the speed with thick they can upgrade their skills, and us gods give them our blessing to help them in their profession, but by giving you all our blessings, you will be aided in everything, and your talent will be the maximum possible in all sides.''

Alex:''... What do you gain from all of this? I am sure that giving a blessing isn't something normal.''

Sol:'' Well first, we gain a very interesting human being trying to survive, and second we are obliged to do this.''

Alex:'' So entertainment and work, the story of my life, so? How do you give me the blessing?''

All of the Gods raise their hands and point them at Alex, in few seconds he is covered in light and darkness, causing his eyes to close, and when he opens his eyes again he is back in the church.

He looks around and he sees everyone looking at him.

Alex:''...Did something happen?'' He says while looking at Lisa, she also has a surprised face.

Lisa:'' You were accepted by all the gods, this has never happened, you can be whatever you want, wait here.'' She then dashes out of the church, and Sara nears me.

Sara:'' I knew you were special.'' She says with a bright smile on her face.

Alex:'' What happened?''

Sara:'' Being accepted by the gods means that you can do, be, and study whatever you want, you could be a mage, a ranger, a paladin, you could even become an Archmage if you are lucky enough, your talent has no limits this is the meaning.''

Alex opens his staus and notices that on the traits part there is a new trait.

---------------------

Chosen One

All the Gods have chosen to give you their blessing, making you the human with the highest talent possible.

Effect:

-All skill level up 100% faster

-Your class option is limitless, you can choose whatever you want, you just need the skills to unlock them

-Since you receive the blessing from the Goddes of Magic, the God of Research, all of the Gods of elements, your magic talent has been raised to the maximum, giving you the possibility to use all the elements, even without a class.

---------------------

Alex:'... ok now I understand all the chaos.'

Before Alex could ask Sara anything else, Lisa opens the door of the door and on her side, there is an old man, his muscles are defined, looking like a bodybuilder, on his left eye there is a scar making him blind on that side.

Lisa indicates Alex and the man smiles.

He approaches Alex and when in front of him he raises his hand wanting a handshake.

Man:'' It's an honor to meet the human Chosen one, it has been more than 10000 years since the last one, I am the Guild Master, you can call me Leonard.''

Alex raises his hand to shake hands with Leonard, when the hand on Leonard touches his hand, he grabs it and almost breaks every bone in Alex's hands.

After few seconds he releases Alex's hand, which is very red, and his smiles brighten even more.

Leonard:'' Your life will become complicated from now on but don't worry, apart from me, Lisa, and the one present no will know about your existence, if someone were to talk about you the guild will take responsibility for the mistake.''

Alex:'' So what happens now? Am I supposed to beat a Demon king or something?''

Leonard:'' A Demon king? If you want to die you can go, those beings are too far away to be beaten by humans, you don't have to do anything, we will train you in whatever you want, and then you will choose your path.''

Alex:'' When do I begin?''

Leonard:'' Tomorrow at 8 o'clock there will be your first history class, Lisa will give you the schedule, and indicate your room, you can spend the rest of the day however you want.''

Lisa nods and tells Alex to follow her, she leads him in the living area of the guild and indicates one room.

Lisa:'' You will have to live with another guy, but for the moment he isn't there, he is on a mission for the guild.''

Alex nods and enters the room, he just wants to relax for the rest of the day.

Before he could go inside he is stopped by Lisa.

Lisa:'' Before going inside you should take a shower and change into some... less revealing clothes.''

What she said is right, because of the constant fights Alex's clothes look more like a rag than anything less, the only valuable thing on him right now are the horn, the sword, and the wolf pelt.

Alex:'' What do I do with these?'' He says while indicating his belongings.

Lisa:'' The clothes will be destroyed, the pelt will be reserved for when you will take part in the tailoring class, the horn for when you take part in the carving class, and the sword for the blacksmithing class.''

Alex:'' Thank you.''

She then indicates the door for the bathroom, he heads there and opens the door.

The inside looks like an old-style Japanese bath, all made in stones and with places where you can wash before going inside the bath.

He removes his clothes and throws them inside the loo-alike throwing bin.

He washes from all the fry blood and his body and then goes inside the bath area.

He touches his chest and notices that the injury is closed but the scar remained, the same goes for the leg and his back.

He opens his status to check his natural regeneration skill, and it is raised by a level.

After staying in the bath for 30 minutes, relaxing both his body and mind, he gets out and checks again his status, just to be sure.

He unlocked a new resistance.

---------------------

Resistance Skills:

Basic Heat Resistance LV.6

You know how to fight the heat, it won't disappear, but you can resist it.

---------------------

After he uses one of the towels to dry himself, he wears a set of clothes that are positioned on the side of the room, which correspond to a white shirt, brown pants, and brown shoes made of leather.

He gets out of the bathroom and goes back to his room.

He opens the door and goes inside, the room is pretty basic, with a bed on both sides, and a desk in front of the door on the other side of the room, the right side of the room is filled with weights and wooden weapons, there is even a bow with arrows.

He ignores the right side and instead goes to the left side, he throws himself on the bad, and in less than 5 seconds he begins to sleep.

Tomorrow for Alex will be the begging of his career as an adventurer and the begging of his legend as the strongest being.
