Nathan sighs after a hard day's worth of work after he was done cleaning the bar.Well it would've been hard work but he just used magic to clean it up but made it look as if he was cleaning up.He hasn't had any customers ever since he came to this world with this bar and for once he has been getting bored.Yeah the gut that is well known to be one of the most laziest person is getting bored and he feels a little justified by it because he was given a mission that he couldn't complete.Well that and that he is so use to having action packed fun in his other missions and one that allowed him to own a bar is very boring he says as there is another him taking care of a internet cafe in another world.
Nathan looks around the bar as he remembers the scene where he inherited this bar which use so run down that...well he isn't good at doing that kind of thing as even the most garbage of places he would appreciate it.It was just very run down and needed some spring cleaning and that is what he did for a good hour before he decided that magic was needed.He also remembers the mission report he got and the backstory of both this universe and his own alibi.
In this world he is a mysterious orphan who just appeared in grand trading City that is in the middle continent.The middle continent as in the name is the the middle area for all of the other continents and it serves as a middle ground for trading n stuff...His words.It is true in the sense as the merchant guild and the adventurers guild,well anyway back to the backstory.past Nathan wondered the streets doing odd jobs here and there plus a lot of stealing till he found this bar that he took as his own.He snuck around and stayed under the radar so well that not evem the local gangs noticed him.He stayed hidden in this place and treated it as his home till a few years ago when he found a mysterious girl nearly dying in an alley.Due to his good heart he just couldn't leave the poor girl to die so he carried her off to a secret place.
Past nathan didn't want to take the girl straight to his home as he doesn't know who this girl is and he didn't want to run into any trouble.He took the girl home because well he didn't know any other place and was kinda an idiot.He took her to the cleanest spot he could find and placed her there as he took care of her.The girl woke up and saw that young nathan was using healing magic to quickly heal her wounds.In this universe magic was a little rare for humans but even then there are levels for it ranging from novice to king.Due to the rareness the girl was surprised as for a moment she thought that she was found by the Royal family.
The girl calmed down as she looked around her surroundings to see a terribly run down...place as she couldn't make heads nor tail of what it was supposed to be or use to be.The girl saw nathan and was caught off guard by the way he was dressed and the high quality stitching and material that was used to make the clothes.It was as if the angels themselves created the clothing but she quickly calmed herself down.She saw young nathan and saw a lot of terrible and horrifying wounds on his body that looked as if he faced countless wars.She felt pity towards him as she saw that he didn't even have a right arm but when he saw his eyes, she couldn't help but be stunned.His eyes were a beautiful blue that reflected the ocean and there was kindness with a hint of warmth in them that outmatched beaches.She didn't know why but his eyes reminded her the warmth of a kind mother.
The girl whose heart has long been frozen started to feel pain for the man who has such kind eyes yet was filled with terrible wounds.She calmed herself down as she knew that she couldn't be letting her guard down as who knows who this guy is and where he came from.He looked human but something told her that wasn't the case but he wasn't a demihuman either as he didn't have any of those characteristics.He couldn't be an angel due to having no wings or a halo but wasn't a demon either from the lack of horns.
So for the next few days she was highly cautious of this person but soon learned his name which was nathan.She didn't ask for his last name as last names in human kingdom were exclusively for royalty.She told her name which was claire and despite her being healed and capable of moving without trouble she stayed with him.She did in fact fall for him and tried to hint it towards nathan but he was a bit too dense to understand and the hints were a bit too complex.Besides even if he was able to understand the concept of love he would believe that they were far too young to fall in love.They were kids but in this world people often married at young age especially for royalty.
One day Nathan disappeared and no matter how long claire looked she couldn't find him.thousands of thoughts raced through her head as she wondered where he could've possibly gone but she didn't know what nor why.She wanted to stay at the run down place untill he came back but she was soon found by the royal guards of the human kingdom and was taken away.Years later when nathan was 16 he went back to the run down place and took care of it.He(somehow) was able to get a permit from the merchants guild to acknowledge that the run down place now belonged to him and is now a bar.So now he has to pay taxes.
'So in the gist of it nathan got another halfbaked backstory with some false memories implemented in some people and now hw owns a bar because the gods were bored and wanted him to try something new.'said the voice inside Nathan's head.Nathan was annoyed by the voice and wanted to know what the voice was even talking about and to who but he knew that he will most likely never get an answer to the question.
He sighed a bit as he didn't exactly know what he should do next.He could try to go outside and advertise his bar but what exactly is he going to do.He can try singing but....well that can work but the music in the world was very....basic.That was the nicest way he could've put it because there wasn't really any music here just bards telling the same old stories of past heros.Don't get him wrong,He isn't going to be disrespectful to the old heros but it was best to at least try something new.
Well it might be a bad idea to start singing because of multiple reasons.For example if he starts singing he might freak out the people because it would all be very new and probably terrifying to them...wait an idea came into Nathan's head.'for once' the voice said mockingly but nathan ignored it as he got ready to leave the bar.
Well he didn't really have much as all he had was the bar and the contents inside and it would be weird if he went up to people and told them to buy his stuff.So for a moment he thought about building a cart to carry and transport his stuff but as he was deep in thought he bumped into a man who was walking in to his bar.
Nathan couldn't feel pain and his reflexes were quick so he caught the man before he fell onto the floor and asked "Hey are you okay?"The man was surprised for a moment but looked dejected as he replied "No..."Nathan felt sad for the man so he hoisted the man over his shoulder and brought him in the bar.The man felt like a child being cared but this shame wasn't as bad as the shame he felt in training so he didn't care.
Nathan placed the man near the bar counter,went behind to pour a glass of whiskey then he passed it to the man and asked "What's your story mate?"The man instinctively grabbed the glass but when he looked at it he was surprised as this was the first time he has ever seen something like that and wondered what it was.For a moment it distracted him as a thousand thoughts ran through his head trying to figure out what it was and the first thought that it might be crystal.The man did hear that royalty would use crystals to hold their drinks but he has seen crystal before and they weren't as clear as this cup.Neither were the crystal this smooth to the touch and the liquid inside was far better then any liquor he has seen before.
There was a severe lack of activities people can do in this world which were drinking,gambling,fighting, training,poetry,painting,story telling or visiting a brothel.Even then drinking,fighting and brothels were the most favorite especially for the hot blooded youth.Though drinking was a favorite there wasn't any variety and was mostly only wine that was sold and they weren't that good...well to nathan they may not be good because in the modern world he was a bit of an alcoholic.There are many races and most of them have their own specialty wine that either as fruitful as elven wine,gentle as angelic wine,strong like orc wine or a mix like the human wine.
The man had tasted human and elven wine before but the stories of angelic and demonic wine were most likely myths.It was known that angels don't drink and obviously people don't like demons very much but nobody knows if the demons are any better then the holy kingdom.The holy kingdom was the kingdom that has spread rumors and tales of demons being pure evil but the tensions between the holy kingdom and everwhere else is very high.The holy kingdom has massacred many lived and have tried to invade other lands many times before.Rumor has it that they even captured the monster kingdom and well most people don't know much about the monster kingdom It is still known that it is horrible being under the rule of the holy kingdom especially so as they condemn demi humans who are different from the monster kingdom.
The reason being 'Hey Author get back on track because you might bore the readers!'The voice yelled in Nathan's head which made him jump a bit and brought the man out of his thoughts.The man blinked once then said "Ah sorry about that I was caught up in my thoughts...
