Owen came to his senses and looked at Laura.
"What are you doing here too?"
"I don't know, I couldn't speak and I couldn't see anything, then someone grabbed me speak and he sent me here"
"So we don't know anything more... I suggest we go north, if we're from the South group that surely means that there are at least 3 people at each cardinal point."
"What!? It's not just us and how do you know there are other people?"
"Laura, the system told us that the South group was the first group to finish so there will be necessarily another group. On the other hand, there is one person missing in our group. We should search the area, if there's anyone they can't be far."
Laura looked at Owen admiringly and thought
"How can he be so calm and think so quickly in this kind of situation, I have to pull myself together. I messed up our relationship, I wouldn't have had to go see the other guy."
Laura bit her lip, then got up and followed Owen into the forest.
...
After 3 minutes of walking Owen stopped and Laura arrived glued to his back. Owen turned around and put her hand in front of Laura's eyes. Laura blushed and asked Owen what happened. And he answered her.
"Don't look in that direction, we're going to look for a village..."
After turning around to change direction, Owen asked him
"Go hide behind a tree and wait for me, I have something to settle.
"What? What do you mean something to settle? Please don't let me not alone, if it's because of what I did last year, know that I'm so sorry."
Tears started rolling down Laura's cheeks and she continued.
"Please do not leave me."
Owen, visibly shocked by what he had just heard, approached Laura and patted her on the
head with a slight smile.
"Don't worry, I won't give up on you, I'll protect you until we get back our world. Then we'll each go back to our lives, me with Maddie and you with... with the one you love."
Owen then turned to go where he had left off, right in front of him was a dead body. Half torn, you could see an arm had been ripped off and goblin bites on the whole body lying on the ground. Owen hastened to dig a grave, after a few minutes of work he was able to put the body in the grave and he capped the grave before saying a prayer.
Owen turned and went back to Laura, trying to calm himself down so as not to worry her. But despite that, Laura noticed Owen's shaking hand. She took his hand and asked him.
" What happened ?
Owen pulled his hand away and put it in his pocket.
"Don't worry, nothing happened..."
Laura lets go for the moment. So...
[The North group has just completed the tutorial, their rewards will be given in
a few seconds]
Owen received a message from Mike through the system at the same time.
[Mike: You're there too, it's cool. I'm from the North group, we just finished the tutorial, we had to face goblins. Whether you can't finish, head north]
Owen responded immediately.
[Owen: I'm from the South group, we're the first group to finish. We meet in the capital. It's in the center. If you are heading south, you should meet him.]
[Mike: How do you know? Well, whatever, we'll see you in the capital then.]
[The West group has just completed the tutorial, their rewards will be given in a few seconds]
[East group has just completed the tutorial, their rewards will be given in a few seconds]
[The tutorial is over, the shop is now available, know that in the shop everything
is purchasable, even your return to your world or One Piece's Devil Fruit,
anything you can think of is available in the shop]
[Message to player Owen : Your reward is in preparation it will be distributed to you
in the next few seconds]
[Reward: 10 stat points, 100 shop points and you receive the « Map » that comes from the shop (Value 10 shop points)]
Owen saw a map appear on a blue board in the corner of his eye. He was thus able to see that a
village was nearby. But before heading towards the village, Owen and Laura stopped and Owen looked at the information on the map.
[Map: Shows your location and nearby towns/villages. (Values of 10 points
store) (Addons can be purchased)]
[Map Addons: Monster Positions (20 points), Dungeon Positions (75 points),
Treasure positions (150 points)...]
Owen shut down the system and notified Laura.
"Laura, you should add your points to your stats which will make you stronger."
"Okay, I'll do that"
Owen thought of the system store and it opened. He then did a search with the filter
"Scan", sorting from the lowest price to the most expensive.
[1. Rare eye (allows you to scan certain elements, F- - - not scalable) 1 point
2. Seeing Hat (Allows you to scan a magic trap and grants light protection
magic +1 defense, F- - - not upgradable) 2 points
...
7. "Scan" skill (allows you to scan objects, humans, monsters... F- - upgradable) 15
points]
Owen bought the skill and tried it out by scanning fire magic in his profile.
[Fire Magic: Fire Magic is magic that revolves around the manipulation of fire, that
allows its user to create and manipulate this element for various purposes. D+
Improvable]
[Scan skill goes up to rank F- - -> F+]
Owen thought "Well very well done"
"Statistics"
Then his profile approached

"Well, I'm done. Have you finished Laura? We're heading to the next village."
"Yes, I was expecting you by the way, I bought myself a class for 10 points"
"What's so cheap, what class did you take?"
"Mage like you, I had an affinity for water"
"Okay. Alright then come on a village is not far from here."
Owen and Laura resumed their walks chatting and after an hour's walk they finally arrived in front of the village gate where a guard was waiting in front of the entrance.
"He must surely watch the entrances and exits of the village"
said Laura.
"Yes I think so too, but anyway we have nothing to be ashamed of, we're not criminals, he will surely let us in without telling us anything."
When Owen and Laura were about to enter the village, the guard stopped them.
"Who are you ?"
"We got lost in the forest and we lost everything." Owen replied.
The guard looked at the two people and examined them.
"Yeah that's for sure that's true, no one would dare go out without something to defend. You can come in, go to the guild, the will give you a new card."
Owen peered at the guard before entering.
