I somehow made a good sounding name that autocorrect liked while mixing the names of the three games.

Breathing in the fresh air I stared down at the wonderfully green landscape.
The blue sky was filled with white fluffy clouds that were dotting the skies, a bright yellow sky shone onto the ground.
A soft wind blowing across the land, leaves flowing across their flowy path.
A city surrounded by stone walls sat in the middle of a wide plains as roads led in and out of the city.
Several convoys filled with people slowly entering the city.
Sporadic colorful blobs I recognized were slimes appearing and getting destroyed around the city.
"Hey! Are you going to come down or what?"
Looking down to see Rina gesturing at me as she hiked down the mountainous terrain I chuckled to myself.
'I wonder how this fantasy city looks like'
---
Walking down the dirt road while looking around, I am pretty sure that I was the definition of the rumored country bumpkin.
Katrina and Amanda didn't mind it however, but they weren't the optimal definitions of the normal person.
Rina most probably didn't mind it as she was looking into a pouch and was counting something from underneath her breath.
Stopping abruptly behind a convoy of carriages being dragged around by... what I would like to call horses but they were really... unique horses.
Horses that had scales, small horns and were squat while being much closer to the ground with constantly bent legs.
Heh.
Opening my chest to take out the mushroom soup infused rotten flesh Rina stopped me with a grimace on her face.
Chuckling at the incredibly anxious look on her face, it was most probably due to the amount of attention I was drawing.
As I looked around I was all the more aware that I stood out among the crowd.
People of two meters in height were pretty rare according to genetics and accounted for one percent of the population.
I knew that because I was in that one percent before my death.
And even after death I was still two meters in height.
So in height I stood out amongst the crowd, the good thing was that my height was overshadowed by the fact that I was surrounded by caravans filled with goods.
Although I am pretty sure that I would be standing out amongst the people in the city.
The chests on my back and underneath my hands did nothing to help.
A double chest stacked on top of another double chest being carried on my back by makeshift ropes while carrying anothe one underneath my hands.
Within those double chests were several ores that weighed a metric ton and I was happy to say that they weighed as much as when one just carried a normal human being.
Which was surprising when I was carrying stacks of 64 in my double chest of 48 in twos.
Pretty sure that anyone else would be crushed though.
And surprisingly enough, it was just that.
Although my outfit with a piece of armor was eye catching and was unique in the way that armor barely covered any part of me but my shoulder.
It wasn't that surprising when a man covered in metal plates walked past.
And just as I was thinking about myself like the narcissist that I was.
Before I knew it.
We were at the gates.
As a tired looking guard with visible eye bags underneath his eyes stopped us, he spoke with a voice that said many things.
One he was tired
Two he was tired
Three he was tired
"Name, Affiliation, business or origins"
"Rina, Adventurer and returning from an expedition"
"Great"
Very convincing with that dead voice man.
"Adventurer's plaque and tell your comrades to step up."
As Rina took out a iron card with a carving of her face on it, the man only grabbed a stamp from somewhere and stamped it onto the card.
As a blue glow came from the stamp.
The same actions were repeated with the two other women.
And when the man came to me all it took was one look from him before he sighed.
"Well shit" Pointing off to a little door at the side the women nodded to him.
"Go into that little door and pay for a visitors card until you can get officially certified, the others will tell you the rest"
"We'll be going first" waving her hand as I moved to the small door.
Giving the tired looking guard a few bronze coins and passing through the open gates.
He dropped the copper coins into a small little box.
As I walked forwards.
Another guard who looked significantly more chipper than the other stopped me.
"Hey you! Leave your things here for now, we will guard them, take your time getting a visitors card, the others will tell you the rest"
With a wide smile the guard pointed their spear at the door.
Seeing the barely hidden greed within their eyes, my amusement reached a new peak.
So playing along I replied. "Sure, so just leave it here?"
"Well you can leave it near the door if you want, but yeah"
Nodding I wondered whether to watch them make a fool of themselves when they tried to take my things.
Or just make a stand and show how strong I was by dropping the chest filled with items that could crush the average human under their weight...
Option one it is, dont want to bring attention to myself for now.
Dropping the chest in my arms down with a loud thud, because it was filled to the brim with items that took only one slot.
I carefully set down the two double chests filled with ores and wood.
Letting them down with a small thud that made them sink into the ground I grinned and cracked my shoulders.
Now free of my burden I walked towards the door and entered it.
Having to slightly overstep a small barrier.
I entered the room.
A woman with an eye patch sat there boredly while twirling a stone stick in her hands.
Although she slightly perked up when I entered.
"Great, a new person" Adjusting her posture and cracking her back she groaned.
"Anyways" using her left hand to hold the piece of stone she grabbed a copper slate on the table.
"Name, Age, gender and future job, hmm..."
Tapping her lips with the stone stick she continued.
"Be warned, if you tell me your future job choice and you find out you aren't fit for it, you will have to pay again to change the info"
"Well... I am Slade Dara Bridge, age 25 (only counting previous age before death), male and adventurer"
Raising an eyebrow at those words she quickly wrote down all those things before stopping at the last few words.
Eyeing me up and down she spoke "Are you sure you want to enter such a dangerous profession?"
"Well..."
"You are a young sprout and have a bright future so you should go find a different job if you can, in this profession good men die young"
Quoting something incredibly familiar to my ears, nevertheless I shook my head.
"Sorry, I am set on this"
The woman sighed and rubbed her head, quickly writing down the information as a blue glow quickly flashed once.
"Well whatever you want Slade"
Grabbing a stamp and slamming it down on the card, she handed it to me.
"Welcome to the city of adventurers Tinell Slade"
