Chapter 6:- New Life
"A holy Sword?"
It looked like an old sword; when I say old, I mean a piece of history that should be left in a museum. It was broken in many parts and looked too thin to be called a sword. But what could it be if not a holy sword based on the view I was seeing? Beautiful scenery and a sword stuck in stone waiting for its rightful owner.
I started to move towards it, to test if I could wield it then it would be insanely helpful to my journey.
I stopped in front of it and before anything happens I put a bit of MP into the sword, allowing me to see its stats.

As soon as I saw this instead of the usual stats, I took a step back. And as soon as I did that the sword came alive and rushed to my hand before I could even blink it was in my hands.
When it was in my hands I did not panic and was as calm as water. The feeling of the sword was unique and old at the same time and it almost felt that it is a part of myself.
I tried to swing it with both hands and it was as light as a feather so I tried to use it one-handedly and I could use it well enough. And because I did not have any sort of sword skills whatsoever so I was just trying to remember anime sword fights and imitate them.
After trying enough I stopped playing with the sword and opened its stats.

After a certain level increase unlock new powers
After seeing its stats I could only say that the only use I could think of at this moment is as an unbreakable weapon.
And upgrade its stats along with a level for more power but not now, I will only increase my stats in proportion to have maximum MP regeneration for me to have more MP to UPGRADE things.
After having sorted my things, I took my NoName sword and moved on my journey (I left the other sword).
After having moved for some time, I stopped moving forward. I had no idea where I was going or how to reach any settlement. I could vaguely remember how usually a town is located based on the sun, maybe stars? I could not remember anything.
ROAR!
As I was pondering over the direction to go I heard a loud Voice of some animal in the distance. It was not a sound I had ever heard. I felt so painful and fearful that before I knew I had fainted.
If I was Awake I would have seen the scene which would have changed my life completely. There was a dragon, calling it just a dragon might be wrong as it was the biggest dragon in the world "The Dragon King" flying past my fainted self towards an unknown place.
__________________________________________________
I could feel I was in a cold and dark place.
I could see a massive Beast in a cave staring at me.
"Fuck!"
I was woken up from my dreams. I saw that I was in the same forest and remembered what happened before I fainted.
As soon as I remembered that I started running in any direction I chose, I was not focusing on where I was going but had only one thing in my mind which was to rush out of this place.
After running for about a few hours I finally saw a settlement in the distance. I felt relief when I saw the place from a distance. The city was surrounded by a big wall and I could not see much of the city from where I was.
I started to move around the city wall and after about a few minutes of walking, I reached what I could only assume to be the city gate.
There was a long line of people going in and out, an inspection was happening at the gate by guards. But there is a small problem, there is an entry fee, and I don't have any money.
I had to find a way fast to go inside because it was getting night and I did not want to stay another night outside.
Thinking about the world set up and what would happen if a person lost everything outside to go inside the city, I quickly came up with a plan and joined the line.
After about 3 hours my turn came.
Guard 1:-"Place your hand here."
He showed me a glass ball with some ruins on it. I believe it is a checker of some sort so I put my hands on it.
Just as I touched the ball my surroundings changed to a dark cave with a Huge monster in front of me. I felt fear like last time but this time it felt minimum.
"Did you steal anything"
As soon as that existence spoke, I was compelled to speak the truth about it.
Noah:- "No"
"Did you kill a person that you haven't told the authorities"
The girls, if I had left them as they were then they would have turned into playthings, an item. So I did kill but not a person, a thing, so.
Noah:- "No"
As soon as I said that the surroundings changed and I was back in my place in front of the Guards. I was left with no time to stabilize myself when the guard said.
Guard 2:- "10 bronze coins"
Noah:- "I am sorry but I lost all my things in the forest and don't have anything to give at the moment"
Guard 1:- "Here drink it"
Guard gave me a Liquid in a glass to drink. I had seen some other people also drink it so I drank it without hesitation.
They then opened the way for me by giving a reminder to pay the money before 3 days or else they are going to talk with me.
The liquid marked me somehow so that if I am not able to pay on time they can come and collect it from me.
After I reached the city I saw a beautiful view. In the shallow light of sunset children were playing, shops were open and people buying and selling stuff. All sorts of items from magical swords to potions and from unknown fruits to foods.
The place looked straight out of a middle age depiction picture. And I could not help but take in its lovely view.
Calming down I started to look for a place to rest for the night but I could not find it for free. All the people I met refused to let me sleep for a night even if I said I would pay twice the next day. After searching for an hour I was left with no choice but to sleep on a bench near a building.
While sleeping I reminisced about my journey so far in this world and I could not help but say.
"This New Life is going to be fun"
