Chapter 6
'Hmm, someone is indeed observing me. It's weird to have this sensation, it's as if I am borrowing someone else's eyes to look at some certain places.'
Urle is leaning against a rock while 'sleeping' he has stalked ever since he came into this world, he wanted to try to at least call catch this 'shadow' who sometimes will interfere with his fights against the monsters by using weird methods, from using silent explosives to teleporting the enemies to the sky...
'I do appreciate their help, but why are they helping? One of the people from the Messager's group? Someone who came from my previous life that is an overpowered individual or just a man who's bored?'
Urle decided not to think about it too much and slowly drift into the Dreamland...
---
Urle woke up with sweat on his entire body while observing his surroundings, his extraordinary eyes widened but then shrunk down as he remembered that he is still in the cave.
'Seriously, what is that? Is my brain trying to guilt trip me by sending me the memories of... I don't wanna recall those things. No one should've recalled them.'
Urle put his right hand on his head while trying to calm his heartbeat, he was afraid to go back, back to the world where there was nothing but suffering for him.and then his stomach started to hurt very badly.
'I forgot to eat yesterday... I should've asked those two for some food or at least tell me where to hunt, this forest doesn't have any animals that can be hunted or used as a food source... Let's just go out and try to find my way to the outside world.'
He goes outside of the cave while trying to adjust to the sunlight, the sunlight dedicates that it might be around 11A.M to 1P.M
---
After 2 hours 30 minutes.
---
Urle is dragging his leg across the floor while sometimes [Blinks] around to look for animals to hunt. Then his eyes caught onto something...
A Sheep. Not any kind of Sheep but a very large sheep that can be compared to a Van. But Urle doesn't care, he immediately drew both of his Dawnbreakers and blinks to the left side of the Sheep while pulling the trigger.
The sheep with no time to react was about to scream until it just dropped on the floor lifelessly.
It's one of the Dawnbreaker and Shock Marauder's set Bonus. Which allows Urle to deliver electricity into the nervous system of an enemy. The closer he is to the enemy the easier the method to control is. He tried to use this method on many monsters but it seems to not work on enemies that don't have a nervous system but will instead slow the enemy down.
'Wait I forgot that I don't have any method to gut the sheep or any weapons to even gut the sheep...'
Urle sighs as his red eye is glowing for a bit, he doesn't even notice that it has glowed, he then just roast the sheep and then eat it without gutting, it's a mess. a huge mess at his location. After eating he started to walk towards the outskirts, which have weaker mobs.

After 1 Hour of literally walking
---
He is bored out of his mind, no monsters want to fight him, nothing to do, except walking.He continues to walk until he reaches a road. A Man Made road, he was flabbergasted but then remembered the two sisters he met yesterday which means there are residents near his location. He walks along the road on the left side of the road.
He walks, until he meets a slime. His expression changed from an indifferent expression to a stupid grin when he saw the slime, he pulled out the Red Book and flipped to where he kept his quest.
(
[Kill 5 Slimes] {4/5}
Time Limit: N/A
Fail Condition: Death
Punishment: N/A
)
He drew his left Dawnbreaker and shot the slime without looking at it. The slime died while it's slimy body tried to dissolve the grass under it. He then saw something interesting, the slime dropped a core.
+-+
Core: A material that can be forged into a weapon or enhance your weapon based on what attribute the core have.
+-+
Core isn't rare but it's not common as well, core's price ranges with the monster's rank. So the core on Urle's palm is the weakest core, that the world have to offer.
Urle looked at the Red Book and founded out that the quest have been completed.
(Quest Completed)
(Rewards Transporting)
(Please be patient, Host.)
(Warning:Please move away from red dot on the ground as the item will be transported at that location)
Urle then look for a red dot and realized that he is literally standing in the middle of it, he then walks out of the red dot. He is excited of what kind of item he might get, maybe a teleportation to the nearest town, potions that can heal his Hp or Mp.
He was thinking about these kind of useless things and then a crate appeared in the area which the red dot is in. The red dot is nowhere to be seen and he opened the crate. Inside of the crate is just a dagger.
(-)
SilverAsh Dagger
A dagger that was forged by the Silver Ash clan which is a famous clan because of the influence it has on the world.
Stat boost:
Strength : +2
Dexterity : +1
Ability: Flame Slash.
A slash that inflicts flame on something. (5MP)
(-)
Urle was flabbergasted after looking at this poor excuse of a weapon. The dagger looked cool and all but why the hell is it so weak? Is he really truly too strong or are there layers of world like games.
Urle look inside of the crate again and found the scabbard of the dagger and put it on the left side of his waist while sheathing the dagger in.
The crate magically disappears after he took the dagger and the scabbard from the crate.
He wanted to complain but the quest is already quite easy and for a quest that is literally killing 5 Slimes the reward is really generous. Although useless to him, he'll try to find a way to sell this dagger to earn a couple of bucks.
---
3 hours of walking later
---
The sun is still shining brightly as Urle is walking through the road, he walked and walked. He is trying his best not to exploit his teleportation as it cost quite a lot. (1MP for 1 CM/0.394 inch)
Even though his mana pool is quite big, the regeneration is the opposite, it's quite slow as he regains only 1k mana per hour...
He then saw something in a distance, is his walking finally pay off? It seems it is.
He Blinked towards the kingdom which eats away 1.4k mana from him he decided to blinked behind a tree in order not to raise any suspicions.
He was about to walk into the Kingdom but he was stopped by a Guard.
"Halt, what is your occupation?"
"I am a Traveller that have been travelling from my hometown."
"Hmm, alright. But you'll have to pay as your not a citizen,adventurer or mercenaries."
"I don't have any money, can I pay later,Sir?"
"... Alright, tell me your name. I'll make sure to remember you."
"Urle, My name is Urle"
The guard scribbles something on the paper and then move out of the way.
"You may pass, but remember. You got 3 days to repay the fee."
"Thank you good sir!"
Urle smiled towards the human guard as he walk past the gates. He then look for a place where he can sell his dagger, He went into a blacksmith store that is called "Weaponry And Equipments" the name is simple yet efficient.
Ding Ding.
"Welcome, here for weapon or equipment?"
"Sir, I am here to sell this dagger."
The elf behind the counter looked at Urle for a bit before gesturing him to bring out his dagger.
Urle puts the dagger and scabbard on the counter as he waited.
"The dagger have a quite decent quality and sharpness, I'll buy this dagger and scabbard for 24 gold coins."
"Alright"
The elf grabbed something from the under of the counter then pull out 24 gold coins and put it on the counter, while carefully carrying the dagger into the background.
Urle goes out of the Blacksmith and tries to find an inn that is cheap, he found it nearby the gate where he came from. The inn looked quite good quality even though it's the cheapest around here costing around 1 silver and 10 bronze coins. To his surprise the room also have breakfast and dinner made for them.
So he went to the receptionist and have wait for a bit because the dude in front of him is flirting with the receptionist.
He waited patiently as the receptionist chased away the man and was taken back by his tail and different eye colour. She then calmed herself down.
"So what kind of room would you like sir?"
"I'll like the cheapest option"
The receptionist smiled
"We do in fact have one final room left, you are quite lucky."
"Hahaha, my friends say that all the time."
'It's a lie.' Urle thought with a bittersweet smile.
The receptionist gave him the key and told him the number of the room. His room number is 56, not too close nor too far from the staircase. He went into the room as he observed everything inside of it. He is amazed that it's really like those novels he read, everything is medieval like and have lamps that work on magic. He also check out the bathroom which is surprisingly modern. With water heater inside of it.
He takes off his Shock Marauder's set and lay naked on the bed, the bed is perfect, soft, like clouds.
After walking for 6 hours and 30 minutes his tired as hell and just drifted into the Dreamland.
