Trip To Orario
"Urgg"
My head hurts like hell. All I remember doing is summoning a minigun and... Wait a moment when I tried to fire the gun it disappeared and I fell out. So that must mean I don't have enough mana to use it. Well, there goes my dream of firing it. This must be mind down that I'm feeling.
I sat up and crawled my way to the pond in the cave and drunk some water. As soon as I did that energizing feeling came back and my headache is gone. I don't know what's in this water but it makes me feel better.
Getting another fill it's time to test out my abilities. I'll leave my gun magic for last.
(several hours later)
*pant* *pant* *pant*
I laid there stretched out tired because of my testing. I want to know what I'm capable of before I leave the safety of this cave. All I got to say is that I'm what I used to call some fictional characters when young? Oh yeah OP ASF.
I would say that the only thing keeping me from basically becoming stupid op is my magic capacity. I need to get that up so I can do more. I've found out what gun I can make without going in mind down state. A flintlock is all I can use without going mind down. I can fire semi and fully automatic weapons but my magic regeneration can't keep up with what's being spent. It's not among the description of skill but thanks to [Perfect Body] my magic regen is very fast but can't keep up with most of the guns I think of. Since the only guns, I can use at the moment is a single shot with not a lot of power I decided to go with a gun concept I have seen before.
(A/N: this is the gun)
Changing the color to black and silver. The gun looks and feels like an extension of myself.
Conveniently there are empty water bottles in the metal case. I already took out the black sweater, pants, military boots, and black face mask that covers my nose to my chin for tomorrow since it's night. I fill up 3 bottles with the water from the glowing pond.
Ah, thank you mystery glowing pond you saved me from a severe headache multiple times. When I leave in the morning I'll cover the cave entrance so no one will accidentally stumble across you.
*Yawn*
The mystery water may recover my mana and takes away mind down but it doesn't recover stamina. Pretty sure if any other person did what I did they would die from overwork. I get a sleeping bag from the metal case and call it a night.
(Next day)
*stretch*
Ahh, a good stretch to start the day is nice. Reviewing everything from yesterday it's hard to believe I'm not on earth anymore. Oh well, let's start my new life. I put on my clothes and store the metal case in my storage space. I put my Estoc in a holster on my side and headed out. I covered the cave entrance which is small with leaves mud and tree branches but I carved kanji about a third of a kilometer away from the entrance so I can find it when I come back. It should take me 3 hours to walk to Orario but I'm in no rush since it's about 8 in the morning.
I found the main road to Orario and began my stroll to the dungeon city. I passed by a few merchants, travelers, and adventurers who ignored me for the most part but some probably looked at me since I got a mask covering half my face.
I noticed about an hour and a half of walking I'm being followed by two people. Even without [Absolute Perception] these guys are horrible at tailing people. I lead them off the main road which causes them to be bolder start coming closer to me. I've had about enough I walk behind a tree and slip into the shadows
"Huh? Where did he go!?" said one of the bandits.
"Well if he didn't know we are following him he knows from your yelling dumbass" said the other bandit.
"Tch, how is my-" the bandit is cut off by my sword that's sticking out the other end of his torso.
"Huh? Oh sh-"
*pew*
I shot the other bandit in the face. I took out my blade from the dying bandit and he drops to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I charge up my pistol for another shot and shoot him in the head ending his misery.
I searched their bodies and found what I believe to be valis the currency of this world. I believe this is about 5,000 valis judging by how many are in the pouch. Must have stolen this from some unlucky merchant.
I leave the bodies like they are because this isn't my problem what or who finds them. They have nothing else I want well I could sell their armor and weapons for some valis. I put both the dead bandit's gear in my bag and got back on the main road to Orario. No one else is followed me for the rest of my walk and found myself looking at the gigantic walls of Orario. Even someone who comes from a modern world would call this wall impressive.
There is a line to get in and guards checking people at two gates. One big one for wagons and a small one for people on foot. I wait patiently for my turn to come in and after 20 mins it's my turn.
The guard stops me but he looks like he's on edge. His hand is in a position where he could draw his sword faster. He sneakily signals some other guards which don't go unnoticed by me. Why are they acting like this? Oh wait I forgot to turn off my killing intent oops. I'm still getting used to this body. The guard noticeably relaxes but hasn't entirely dropped his guard.
"State your business" said the guard.
"I've traveled here to become an adventurer"
Narrowing his eyes the guard said "Name"
"Naozumi"
"Well Naozumi, you have 1 week to get an I.D. from the guild. If you do not get an I.D. within this time frame a bounty will place on you." said the guard.
I simply nodded and he nodded back and he gestures for me to go through the gate. As soon as I walk through I'm surprised to see how big this city is. It's a lot bigger than what I remember. This city is probably about 15 km big.
I walk over to what appears to be adventurers to ask where the guild is located.
"Pardon me but can you point to where the guild is located?"
All of them turn to me probably to size me up
The younger people of the group happily tell me that the guild is straight north about 45 min walk. The 3 older people had a stern look on their face as if they are facing a boss in a dungeon. I walked away from them but can still hear them.
"Youngins make a mental note to never piss off that kid in the future" said a woman.
"What do you mean?" said a younger adventurer
"The boy had 0 openings even with his guard down. That's just scary" said an older adventurer
"Is that true old man?" a young adventurer turned to the oldest in the group.
"Yes, it's true. Even I'm not confident in taking him on" said the oldest of the group.
"How? aren't you lv.3!?" responded the young adventurer
"*sigh* Here some advice to always keep a note of. To some people levels ain't shit" said the old man.
That was very interesting to hear. I'm pretty sure I can take on lv.2 and maybe lv.3 but any higher I have no shot against unless I catch them off guard.
I walk off to the guild and what happened next made wished I went to rent a room at an inn first.
(A/N: hope y'all enjoyed the chap)
