I collected some pieces of copper and wolf meat from the corpses of the wolves. Well it was a kill joy that they weren't even able to dodge or block that attack of mine.
[Well you are a lot more powerful then they are]
True but they easily dodged the attack of the archer Jack didn't they?
[His agility stat is a lot lower then yours and you have the benefits of a unique race and class as well]
I can't really complain now can I. Anyway we should head back to town. I started walking to the city gates when llyfr said something to me.
[Although the others don't seem to want you to go]
Hmm?
"EDEN! JOIN MY GUILD!" commanded Han while shouting at me. Just a moment ago he was scared shitless and then speechless. Where the hell does his confidence comes from. And also his attitude pissed me off long ago.
With my best evil stare I said, "Piss off."
Han was taken a bit back at that but then he decided to continue annoying me.
"If we join up I can provide you will everything you need. My guild the 'Headless Might' can even power level you to 100 easily."
I am level 86. I think it will be easier if I hunt alone then let some idiots drag me around. And also I still have the problem that my skill proficiency is low for my level due to the Minotaur incident.
"Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah Bah"
That was what I was hearing come out of Han's mouth right now. If he doesn't back off then I'll kill him. I'm not in a good mood right now. Hell I'll kill him even if I was in a very good mood.
[Don't kill him. I hear that you get a murderer mark which will annoy you even further and restrict you in the city as well as allow a free pass on anyone to hunt you down]
So hurt him enough that he wishes to be dead? Fine. I prepared a small weak spell in my head.
"Lightning Bolt"
ZAP
I shot a lightning bolt next to where Han was standing. His shocked face at what I just did was very....refreshing for some reason. After that Han was very hesitant to actively recruit me but he still followed me when I headed to the gate with the rest of the party. Apparently they were all in the same guild and that was why they were following Han's orders. According to Han, his guild was one of the 'major' guilds in the city have 'influence' over some players. I really see no point in being a lackey so I continued to ignore him.
"Hey LISTEN to me!" plead Han.
He went up to me and grabbed my shoulder again. That's it. I'm going to kill him.
[DON'T]
Yes yes I know. Just make it so he suffers. I imagine this fool being encased by ice.
"Ice prison"
Crack Crack Crack
Ice suddenly appeared and covered his legs quickly and continued to his body. His was unable to move and eventually his annoying mouth was covered as well. I left and the party that was now trying to free in the forest as I arrived to the city gate.
There was a number of people heading in the city now. It was becoming night quickly so I don't blame them. The 50% strength boost at night made hunting a lot more difficult even with the 30% experience boost. Although this only applies when your in the low levels since you'll be hunting in dungeons that have these same effects on the monsters for most of the time later on. Anyway when I was about to pass by the guards they suddenly stopped me.
"You there! You're not from this city. State your business" demanded the guard on the right. They drew their swords and pointed them at me. Will this always happen when I arrive in a new city?
[No idea. Play along]
Right. But I have no idea what to say right now.
"State your business Demi-human!"
Demi-human? What's that? I should really learn what some of these terms people have in this game.
[I believe its a term for beings that look like humans but aren't at the same time. With perfectly fits you right now. Your not exactly human but you look the part from afar]
Ah....so are they stopping me because I'm new here or because I'm a demi-human?
[Probably both. Hurry up and answer the, before they attack. Also there's a crowd gathering right now because of you]
I looked around and saw there were around 30 people behind me waiting to get in. Hey the gate is pretty big so go around me not behind! They had both the look of discontent and interest at me. Well it would most likely be the first time they see such a scene. I look back at the guards whom were patiently waiting for my answer.
"I seek to stay for the night and resupply while gathering some information." I answered cleanly.
The two guards looked at each other and nodded. I was expecting them to attack me but they sheathed their swords and let me through.
"Have a pleasant stay"
I walked through the large gate with ease after that and arrived at a stand that had a map of the city. This is really convenient.
[True. Now you won't get lost, well at least I won't get lost. I don't know about you]
Its not like I get lost easily. Anyway the inn is three streets up and five buildings to the left while the information guild his to the twenty buildings to the right of it. They must have designed the city to allow more efficiently for travellers. I started walking to the inn when llyfr started a conversation with me.
[Eden how are you finding my powers?]
Hmm? Why do you ask?
[Because most people either hate it with a passion or be consumed by it. In both cases they cause trouble to those around them]
I see. I don't find your power to be that bad. In fact I find it handy since I have the edge over other players when the time comes. Honestly if I wasn't sent to the tower and got you stuck in me, I've probably be in the library in Tellap town.
[Hmm....interesting. I still have things to discuss with you but first get some sleep. You're at the inn now]
That was fast! I was just talking to you for a bit.
The inn like everything else in this game was medieval style. The inn was made with a combination of wood and stone. The inn was three times as big as the other buildings next to it. I wonder if it was because this a a major city with all the new players I see and they need a way to give some sort of service to them. I opened the wooden door and heard the sound of a large number of people inside. They mostly ignored me a random person but some still looked. I made my way through the many people sitting at a table and went to the person at the counter. The person was a young female probably in her early 20s or late teens.
"What do you need?" the person asked in a kind voice. She was also taking orders form the people at the tables as well so I should make this quick.
"I wish to stay the night." I immediately answered.
The lady smiled and said, "That will be 5 silver per night."
I took out the 5 silver needed to handed it to the lady. When the silver fell to her hand, she asked, "Also I'll need your name for clarification."
I wonder why they would need my name? Meh. It doesn't matter to me.
"Its Eden"
I thought I heard the place become a bit quieter when I said my name but it was probably my imagination.
"Your room is the one third to the left. Here's the key. Remember to lock it when you sleep." the lady grinned and took the order of the person waiting behind me.
I ignored the stares of the people below and walked up the stairs and went in my room. I made sure to lock the door when I closed the door as well. The room in question was surprisingly similar to the one at the Sleeping Sheep Centre back in Tellap. It was completely simple but it served my needs. I got in the bed and started to sleep. I have a long day tomorrow and its been a while since I slept in a proper bed.
