Chapter 4: Body Evolution and Another World

It is another day in the city, the sun finally showed itself as the rays of light touched the skin of a peacefully sleeping young man, the warm light of the sun caused him to grumble in annoyance, opening his eyes, Yozora saw the usual ceiling of his room, he then went up from his bed and sit on it as he stretched his arms and feet, the feeling of stretching his muscles was great, he feels much more energetic today than usual, he then prepared to tidy up his bed until he noticed how wet his bed was.

Yozora frowned, "Did I just pee on my bed?", Checking the bed to ensure it wasn't his pee, Yozora sighed in relief as he deduced that it was only his sweat, and then noticed that his entire torso and head were sweating so much, but that's not what took Yozora's attention the most.

It is his abs, but the thing is, Yozora didn't have abs before since he was not exercising except for some jogs, stretching, and lifting medium-weight dumbbells made out of concrete, what's more, his arms looked more muscular than before, not too buff nor too thin, it was just alright, his legs too were in similar shape, but how come did he got medium ripped body all of a sudden, to confirm it, he went into the shower room and there he finally got a good look on himself.

He was almost unrecognizable if not for his face, he also become much taller, he was only 5'9 before and now he was certain he was around 6'0, a huge change in height, Yozora tried to think for any reason as to how he ended up like this, then he got a flashback in the event occurred last night, he also drank that "energy drink" from Anders, but it seems to call it an energy drink was an insult to whoever made it, it just made Yozora looked more pleasing and more importantly stronger and more energized.

He got out of his house and dressed As he went into the backyard of his house, he lifted heavy stuff and lifted like nothing, he even lifted a huge boulder that weighed 200 kilos without any difficulty, Yozora just realized it was not only his muscles that were changed, probably his bones were strengthen as well, if not his arm would snap already if he was still in his past form.

After his little experiment, Yozora took a bath, and he decided to not open his shop, While he was showering, Yozora contemplated what he would do now, he had nothing to do with his only ambition was to keep his inheritance alive, then suddenly, he remembered the bracelet that can travel between worlds according to Anders, he just lightly pressed the bracelet as the hologram interface appeared, he then clicked the coordinates icon and noticed that only a two coordinate was available, one is here in his world and the other unknown world, he was not entirely sure what type of world the other one was.

It could be a Mesozoic-era world, a sci-fi world, a fantasy world, or worse an alien world where the inhabitants feed on humans.

Nevertheless, Yozora wanted to explore that said world, if he was lucky, he could rebuild his business there, it was a gamble, but Yozora, who had no family left and no other ambitions had nothing to lose, except for that shop and house he inherited that is.

Sighing heavily Yozora made up his mind, "I hope I don't regret this..."

He went up into his room once again and brought out the weapons he got from Anders, it was the plasma shotgun and pistol, he wore the straps and put the ammunition in the strap pockets, the strap was military gear his grandfather owned when he served in the great war and now he was using it, there was a handgun holster as well that was just perfectly fit, and also filled a bag full of various tools and food.

Finally, he wore a dark shirt and dark green jacket, black joggers, and mountain shoes, he specifically chose them to have more mobility if he ever encountered danger, he then checked all his items ensuring he did not leave anything behind.

"Sigh, here goes nothing." Opening the interface once again, Yozora touched the coordinates leading to another world and suddenly, the bracelet emitted a blue light slowly, Yozora's entire body was covered in a blue shield, and in a blink of an eye, he was transported to the chosen coordinates.

...

The sun was at its peak once again as the docks were busy as usual, ships docked and unloaded their cargo to be sold in the town while other merchant ships loaded their vessels with cargo from the town itself and other cities, towns, and villages in the region to be traded in other cities and kingdoms in the vast sea.

The locals trade their products to the merchants while the merchants pay minimal tariffs to the local government officials to fund the country's coffers and spend on various projects or other tasks that require money.

This is the usual sight in the town of Vallas, the trade from different countries that sails the sea blessed the town with prosperity as many were employed by merchants as sailors, guards, or simple workers, while various establishments sprung such as taverns, inns, and markets. Some small industries started to appear as well such as blacksmiths, stonemasons, carpenters, weavers, and more.

Perhaps the largest accomplishment the town has done so far was that they were able to invite the famous Adventurer's Guild, an organized association of adventurers who mostly deal with monster subjugation, exploration requests, ingredient gathering, and more. Although the current Adventurer's Guild branch in the town was small, it was still a huge achievement especially since they are the only ones that have a branch in the area, unlike other towns and villages in the region except Burzo City.

The town has secured its future prosperity as long as there will be no war, famine, or any other calamities.

On a mountain hill overlooking the town meanwhile, a young man with dark hair, sharp eyes, and nose can be seen observing his surroundings. His face expresses awe and curiosity, and Yozora was prepared to face a hard welcome, he also just realized how foolish he decided to come into this world without any knowledge or assurance he wouldn't get killed.

But alas here he was, overseeing what he can only call a medieval era world, wooden ships, old seaports, houses, and establishments that resemble Western architecture in the medieval period.

"Now how can I interact with them, without getting suspected as another worlder?" he asked himself as he looked on the clothing he wore, "Yep, they'll definitely suspect me."

Yozora sat on the grass as he brainstorm best and believable story he could make, the sea breeze touched face making him his nerves calm and enjoyed the vast sea and green view of the land, the like a light bulb apperaing on his mind, he finally gotte nan idea!

He could pretend to be a wanderer merchant who escaped from his homeland due to an incident, while he could cover up his strange clothing to be clothes that were weaved and designed by an acquintance, it's not the best made up story but at least it can cover his identity here and there.

Yozora released a heavy breath and prepared himself, his current objective is to have a place to stay in and gather any revelant information that he can use and hopefully, try to establish his business and settle in this world while also coming back in his original world.

With confidence, Yozora followed the dirt path ahead, directly heading to the town's main path and entrance where a small group of guards was guarding the path.

"Here goes nothing again!"
