[LOCATION: BULGARIA, NEAR VARNA]
[DATE: 15.10.2024]
[TIME: 11:01 AM]
As the driver had his tired eyes fixated on the road, Daniel was staring at the city in the distance. The feeling of traveling with a car was something he hadn't experienced in years.
Though he was wondering how is the driver still alive at this point. He looked like a walking corpse in fancy clothes. He decided to ignore the bad feeling he had and just enjoy the ride.
As they entered Varna he saw the groups of people walking around, the kids laughing, some even smoking and then he realized. It wasn't any different. The younglings smoking, the revealing clothes.
He tried to stay positive but it was getting on his mind. He tried to focus on the beautiful images. The sea, the fields, the great structures, and the sky. It's like a painting altogether right in front of him.
As the car stopped in front of a massive hotel, the man from yesterday opened Daniel's door and gave him space to get out.
"Hello there! Your name was Dennis, right? I am really bad with names."
Daniel said as he stepped out of the car and Dennis replied as he closed the car door behind Daniel, letting the driver walk away.
"Correct! Now let's go, my boss is in your room. He wants to talk with you."
Daniel nodded and Dennis started walking, letting Daniel follow him. As they entered the hotel Daniel was stunned. He was looking at every inch of the place like an excited child, not believing what a place he was at.
As they walked through the massive lobby, they entered the elevator. Dennis pushed a button, closing the doors behind them and letting it ascend. He was making up small chats with Daniel to keep his attention until they arrived.
The doors separated and both of them walked out. Dennis unlocked the door, letting Daniel walk in, and then closed the door behind him.
He saw the bags on his bed already and looked around, trying to locate Dennis' "boss". Then he noticed a man sitting on the balcony. Daniel walked on the balcony, seeing Evgeni there.
Evgeni made a signal for his hand for Daniel to sit down while taking a puff from his cigarette and speaking up to Daniel.
"Evgeni Dinev. You must be Daniel Balkanov. Nice to meet you, kid."
He took another puff before sliding a packet of cigarettes on the small coffee table and asking "You smoke?". Daniel shook his head and Evgeni threw the packet of cigarettes through the balcony.
"At least you're disciplined, kid."
He said and then looked to his right towards the purple window popping up out of thin air.

[PUNISHMENT IF NOT COMPLETED: MINUS 30 LEVELS]
[QUEST COMPLETED!]
[REWARD GRANTED: 50 LEVELS]
Evgeni sighed, mumbling "250 stats..." and then looked at Daniel who stared at him confused.
"Excuse me...?"
Said Daniel and Evgeni chuckled repeating "Nothing". Evgeni then glanced back at Daniel speaking up yet again.
"So, what do you wanna sell? Show me."
Daniel then nodded and reached out in his pocket, trying to take out his loot but it got stuck in his pocket, creating an embarrassing moment. Evgeni burst into laughter before Daniel finally took the golden grenade and knife out and put them on the table.
Evgeni looked down, scratching his chin while thinking, and then replied.
"The starting price for the knife would be around 5000 (About 2800 USD) leva and the grenade 7500 (About 4200 USD) leva"
"That much?! Just for a starting price?!"
"I told you, kid, we do magic here!"
Evgeni smiled at him before turning off his cigarette and standing up. He glanced at Daniel saying "I got some business now, see ya tomorrow on the bidding!" and left quickly.
As Evgeni walked towards the elevator he mumbled "Stats" and the purple hologram appeared.

[DURABILITY-7000]
[HP-6000]

Evgeni then pressed the button for the elevator and said "All in Stamina".
He looked up at the opening door he saw 5 specially prepared policemen with titanium shields and guns held toward Evgeni as he calmly entered the elevator.
"PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK, THIS IS AN ORDER FROM THE LAW!"
Shouted one of the policemen. Evgeni ignored him and reached over the shoulder of one of the policemen who was shaking in fear. He pressed the button for the rooftop that was behind the policeman's head and the door closed.
Immediately afterward a man put a sign on the elevator's door saying "DOESN'T WORK!" and from the elevator was heard crashing and splattering.
[LOCATION: BULGARIA, VARNA'S BEACH]
[DATE: 15.10.2024]
[TIME: 01:56 PM]
Daniel was focusing on the space around him, turning it into blades, guns, and explosives. He was testing his powers on rocks, easily destroying them. He sat down on the sand, looking at the people around, and noticed a group of people around his age all injured.
He stood up, walking towards them.
"What's wrong?"
He asked, kindly.
"The door thief got us.."
They replied and he looked at them confused.
"The door thief?"
He asked and they all realized he wasn't from the city. One of the girls from the group started explaining.
"He's a masked man who just appears around Varna and steals weak people's keys they found."
He carefully listened to them while thinking to himself "Like that i can practise my abilities.."
Then he looked at the group requesting them help.
"I can take him down, just i'll need some of your help.
And they all got together to work. The most useful information they had is that the Door Thief only steals people's keys from this beach and nowhere else. He does it too quickly so people have never managed to fight back or see his face.
One of them still had a green key left and they decided to set a trap. As the one with the key opened a yellow door on the beach, he walked inside of it. The boy begun to fight the weak creatures inside, taking them out one by one.
He walked inside a small living room, kneeling infront of a table from where he picked up silver rapier. He pointed it towards the ceilling, not forgetting what he is here for.
As he walked towards the exit a figure covered in black bandages over their face and head appeared. It was the Door Thief. He looked at the boy who was stunned in fear.
The thief pulled a crossbow from his bandages and pointed it towards the boy, sending a fast yellow projectile towards the boy who tried to duck in fear but Daniel appeared out of thin air, blocking the projectile with his hand, stopping it from harming anybody.
The thief looked at Daniel confused and then Daniel glarred right back at him, speaking up.
"Only scum who cannot obtain anything on his own goes up to steal things from the weaker ones."
The thief sighed, replying with "And what does a child know?" before disappearing out of Daniel sight, creating a gust of wind. Then he appeared behind Daniel, shooting a stronger projectile this time.
Before Daniel could even react he got shot in the back. The projectile sent him flying into a wall. He crashed, falling down on the ground with giant scar on his back. He stood up, panting but the thief shot him with a projectile yet again.
Daniel fell on the ground, glarring at the thief as the thief walked towards the boy.
"Hand me the rapier and i'll kill only that shithead that's standing behind me."
He mumbled to the boy but instead of giving the rapier, he tried to stab the thief with it. Of course, he quickly dodged it before hitting the boy in the neck with karate chop like movement, sending him unconscious on the ground.
"Urgh, you two just wasted my time."
The man said as he picked up the rapier, positioning it above the unconscious boy's body.
Daniel saw that from the distance. He thought..
"Focus..Just like Nathaniel did it...C'mon...Rip the reality itself and create a new one..."
As the man stabbed the boy he noticed the rapier didn't penetrate. He lifted it up, looking at the end that was chopped off. He then looked at Daniel who was unsheathing a katana with his face covered in shadow.
The only visible thing being his deep breath...
