" Does this i leveled up ?"
This was a familiar concept in lightnovels or comic books and anime with the concept of gaming system, having played gxnshin impact, PxBG, mobile legxnds, epxc conquests and other various leveling based games it was a concept I was very familiar with but
" Hmmm....(looks at the air) where's the system then ?"
I was still glowing the glow could be seen to subside slowly, it seemed that it would disappear soon ,as it healed my wounds and made my pain go away i was thankful but in a way this is concerning
Because I am not a hundred percent sure that this is even ' leveling up ' or some other bullshit kind of situation I'm in again
And then after another one minute of staying still I stopped glowing, and my wounds...freighteningly they disappeared ,my legs that Shizela fixed to a certain extent was now fully healed and my other injuries even the fresh ones completely closed up
" Wow( looks at his body with mixed feelings) { I'm not human anymore it seems } What the hell happened to my body ... { My injuries healed and I'm back to normal just like that, moreover...}
He then looked at his right fist and gripped it tightly
{ I feel a lot lighter }
I confirmed that what happened to was not a bad thing, I also felt stronger, but to confirm my suspicions of this phenomenon being something similar to ' Levelling up ' I would have to fight another animal
" hmm Well whatever enough thinking ".
Grabbing my sword that I dropped on the ground when I was convulsing from the pain and looked at the boar.
" Let's see ,the how should I go about butchering this { I should hurry ,other monsters might come, i should take only about 2 kilos of meat with me , I'll take the left leg thank you very} "
With that I raised my sword and roughly cutted the left leg of the splitted up corpse of the giant boar and butchered it's tusks out ,monster parts hadto be worth something,atleast that was how things went in Skyrim, epic conquest an other games, with tha I put the tusk together with the meat on the hide ,a small part of it atleast, that I skinned out from the beast and left it unburnt to rot
{ Sorry ecology of this world but I'd rather not waste lighter fuel }
The lighter was very similar to cigarette lighter except that it's fuel seemed to be blue water, and I was convinced that it was something like liquid mana.
I took from Shizela's place since she had 10 of these ,as guilty as I felt ,' Fire ' was simply vital for survival I'm the woods, even though Shizela told me that these cost only a few dozens of copper coins ,I will definitely repay her for this.
(I was just trying to ease my conscience)
Roasting the meat infront of the fire I started under a cliff that was close by to provide a roof over my head I stayed awake and made jerky or dried meat to eat in following days to eat
I actually really missed home for the first time in a while , watching the two moons imunder the beautiful starry sky that seemed a lot less polluted I felt rather lonely, I never lonely back in my place as I always chased it away with YouTube reels , games, videos and chatting with friends on WhatsApp ,but right now I could think about my future that seems awfully bloody and ask myself useless questions like
" Why on earth was Johnson always saying ' I wish I was truck kun's victim ' ? This sucks ".
Johnson is my friend and fellow classmate who's a devoted weeb an pro-gamer

3 days have passed
And a festival, to be precise the festival to celebrate dragon hunt's success had already begun day before and it would go on for the next 2 days that is till tomorrow night, and right now after wandering out of the forest, I began to look for employment, and currently I am standing infront of the the capital's adventurer guild's door ,the guild building was atleast 5 storeys and was rather wide
Wandering out of the forest ,this was what I hadto deal with ,the first I did was look for a place to sell monster parts , strangely enough I could understand every language i heard and could tell that not languages sounded the same , i understood them as if they were all my mother tongue
And with that I could ask some people for directions and found a shop called Agrath and sold the tusks of the boat for 2 silvers,1 silver coins for each
( 1 Platinum coin = 100 gold coins ,1 gold coin = 100 silvers ,1 silver coin = 100 copper coins , in this world , a peasant family of 4 could get by a month with 1 silver )
And then ,onto my next target was employment, and right now during the festival was when i was the most likely to discovered by the guards incase I am being searched by Stephen's men due to the amount of festivities going outside,it was unlikely but a possibility I would like to consider, as there was one thing i learned clearly from my life in Mizoram back on earth
' It's better to be careful than regret not being careful '
Moreover even though it was a capital wide festival the guild was still open, I could already see the adventurers sitting and drinking on theor tables with their friends as they talked about the festival's reason the prince and the dragon hunt ,a lot of people were going in and out and in I went with a composed look as naturally as I could as i stepped on to the side and walked on to the reception center
The happy looking receptionist was a woman who seemed rather young ,she was a caucasian human beauty who's looks did not lose to Scarlett Johansson or the half elf receptionist next to her, her scarlet long curly hair and red eyes look really good together ,and her chest was also very captivating for any healthy young man but that's not what I'm here for
" Hmm? Ugh( furrowed her brows for a whole 2 seconds before she regained composure) H..hello how many I help you? "
" ... I am here to be an adventurer, can you help me? (Felt emotionally damaged){ Yes I know I'm rather average looking but ' Ugh ?' Seriously ??}
" Oh? I see ,wait a bit sir (pulled the reception table's drawer out and took a paper out of it along with a pen like instrument and spoke with a practiced smile) you need to pay 1 silver to fill this form sir , and since this report will be verified using divination magic artefact please don't fill false information in "
I then gave her 1 silver coin and took the paper and pen and looked at the paper with a feeling of uncertainty now that I heard that I can't lie about this, I did indeed I understood what the paper asked again though

{ It's all completely true ,since Saved means Chhan in English it should pose no problems }
" Here's the report miss "
" Okay then (took and read the paper and for some reason she looked disappointed) { A liar as well it seems, well I hope he's ready for his the price of his lies },I will verify it now "
She then placed the paper on the table and sudden a circle shined beneath the paper , it seems the table itself was an artefact
Chhan :(felt in awe)" Wow "{ I really wish I was a mage instead} " The artefact is really cool miss "
" (Smiled and replied) why thank you kind sir , oh the divination is fini- EH? "
