"Jeez, why did they kick me out the Inn?!? I JUST told them I couldn't pay for my tab... It's not like I pass out and not pay each time. I pay... what I had each time... But that doesn't mean I didn't pay... I just... didn't pay enough to cover my tab... I'll pay all my tabs from the previous inns I owe... from the last 5 towns...", Hero Eva sighed.
"I'll try my luck onto the next town, hopefully at least ONE inn will take me in... at least for the time being.", Hero Eva says in an upbeat tone.
[ Hero Eva arrived at the town called 'No one knows' and was stopped by a guard ]
"HALT! Show us your ID! Or you shall not pass!", says the guard.
"What? But I'm the hero!!! For fuck's sake
.. Hah... Fine here, there's my ID", complains Hero Eva.
"Hmmm... According to the recent news, you haven't paid for your tab in the last 30+ inns you have been to, thus for the safety of the village! You are not allowed inside! Go to another nearby town and try your luck there. Now leave!", explained the guard.
"Awww man, I am not allowed to go in??? But the next town is months away and I need a place to stay!!!", Hero Eva complained.
"That's none of my business. This is the order from the lord and we are just following orders. Now Leave!", says the guard.
[ Hero Eva leaves devastated ]
[ She walked towards the direction of the next village, only to pass by a hidden village in between. ]
"A village?!?! But it isn't listed on the map..." pondered Hero Eva then says in an exclaimed voice, "Could I have found a secret village?!? Woah! Cool!"
[ Hero Eva then proceeds to find an inn to stay in and found an inn called 'Twinkles Twinkle Inn', 15 minutes away from where she first found the village. Hero Eva proceeds to enter the inn, only to be greeted by a scene she would never forget. ]
"Hey Boss! I want some hamburger steak!", ordered a customer.
"I want a plate full of flan please", ordered another customer to the waiter.
"I want 10 beef cutlets! And make them as big as possible", said another.
[ Hero Eva was surprised on how large of an area used for a inn, and they had white cloth on top of tables, filled with many beings, creatures, and humans that don't seem to belong to the world she belongs in. ]
[ She could smell all kinds of different foods that she doesn't know what they are but they all smell so good! ]
[ Hero Eva then proceeds to seat at the counter with a stunned face. ]
A customer beside her asks, "Hey, are you new here? I'm Adam Smith. Let me tell you this place is the best place in the world. It has so much food that you can buy a lot when you have the money!"
"Plus its very cheap!", said another.
"The village you came from only allows those with good intentions to enter the village. Each dimension has at least one hidden village. I am the boss here, Seasoning", explained a handsome man behind the counter.
"Boss! To think we would have the honor to personally serve us today!", exclaimed Adam Smith.
"Ye boss, why don't you join us every now and then instead of always only showing up to new customers... Oh ye! I haven't introduced myself, I am Kelv the Frog.", said Kelv.
"Well it would be rude if I don't explain the rules properly to the new customer, now won't it?", said Boss Seasoning.
"That's true, now whatcha say lass, what do you want to order? Here's the menu. Pick which ever you like, I'll pay for your meal", volunteered Adam Smith.
[ Adam Smith hads Hero Eva ONE of the 50 page menu. There were 10 of them in the side of the counter. Each having a different set of menu included in them. ]
[ Hero Eva who was still in a daze, finally came back to reality ]
"Ummm... First and foremost, I am Evageline, you can call me 'Eva' and I am not fond of food as it always tastes bland whenever there is no alcohol included in it. So could you suggest a dish? or two? I have no cash on me right now, as I was just kicked out of the village due to lack of finances... I'll repay you somehow! I promise that within my heart!", Hero Eva explained and promised to keep her word.
[ After Hero Eva's speach, her stomach growled loudly, shocking the people in the inn to laugh out loud! But not to embarrased the new comer, they decided to hold it in ]
[ Hero Eva felt so ashamed, that she apologized subconsciencely. ]
"Hmmm, since you are starving and need a lot of energy I suggest ordering 'Au Gratin Potatoes' and 'Paella de Marisco', they are the some of most fulfilling dishes we could offer that is the cheapest and most affordable. On the other hand, whenever you want to drink, it will cost 3 to 10 times more than what you usally have outside, as the wines, beers, and alcoholic commodities we have here is quite rare and hard to find. So it is usually served during special occasions. But since you are new here, I'll have the singular alcoholic beaverage on the house. How does that sound?", explained Boss Seasoning.
"Only one drink?!? Then what am I suppose to do when I choke and have nothing else to drink?", asked Hero Eva.
"We serve water here for free, and the alcoholic drink I will serve you is one of the most expensive one's in the house. So its quite a rare treat.", further explained Boss Seasoning.
"Water?!?! Isn't that the drink that nobles comsume during their meals? Fresh water is a luxury, and you give it out for free? Isn't that a waste?", asked Hero Eva.
"First, its not a waste if the customers drink it. Second, in my dimension, water is a common drink that costs little to nothing. Third, you don't have to worry about it, this is my business thus I can do what I want.", answered Boss Seasoning.
Eva pondered then asked "Then boss, what's the alcoholic drink you are going to let me drink called?".
"It's called 'D'Amalfi Limoncello Supreme', it is one of the most expensive alcohol in my dimension, and the one I am going to give you is just one shot that costs half a milion of large gold coins to cover the cost. It costs that much since I only have ONE bottle of it and I bought it from a auction house." said Boss Seasoning, after that he advised "But I would advise you to drink it slowly, as its pretty strong.".
"Well, if its as strong as you said, then do you have a room I can stay in for the night? I can't pay for it for now BUT I PROMISE to pay when I can afford it...", hopefully asked Hero Eva.
"We do offer rooms here, but it will cost you 1 gold coin each. The max tab I can accumulate for you is 50 gold coins max. While the price of the food this time is free, the usually food prices range from 5 copper coins to 1 gold coins usually. Additionally, the rarer good cost more than 1 gold depending on the goods you ask. The meal that you ordered this time costs only 1 silver.", explained Boss Seasoning.
"Only 1 silver?!? That's amazing, but why is the rooms so expensive compared to the food?", asked Hero Eva.
"You'll know once you enter the room. Here catch, this is the key to the room, make sure not to lose it or you'll pay an extra 5 silver for it. Tonny! Guide Ms. Evangeline here to her room.", said Boss Seasoning.
"Got it boss! Follow me, Ms. Evangeline". answered Tonny.
"Coming!", replied Hero Eva.

Infront of the Assigned Room
"This is your room, Ms. Evangeline", said Tonny.
"Your name is Tonny, right?", asked Hero Eva.
"Yes, you are correct. Ms. Evangeline", replied Tonny.
"Can you tell me why this room is costs 1 gold coin?", asked Hero Eva.
"I'll explain once you set foot inside the room", answered Tonny.
"I... see...", replied the dejected Hero Eva.
[ As Hero Eva proceeds to open the door, a brightly lit room appeared before her eyes ]
[ Hero Eva gasped at the beautiful room infront of her very own eyes. ]
"This is the room assigned to you Ms. Evangeline. The bed is made of the finest cotton, alonside the sheets and pillows. Four pillows are assigned per room, while over here, is a bookshelf, to conjure your time while you eat or drink inside the room. Please do be careful of the books as they are one of the kind. Below the bed, lies a carpet made of the finest linen, and the lighting of the room comes from this thing we call a 'bulb', I recommend you don't break it as it will cost you quite a hefty amount of coins. Last but not the least, is the window leading to another dimension, do not leave the room or else we will not be responsible for any injuries, or accidents that occure past the room. Any questions?", explained and asked Tommy.
"Uhhh... where is the place to bathe? Cause man I stink", asked Hero Eva.
"Oh right, come this way Miss.", said Tonny.
[ Tonny showed Ms. Evangeline the way to the bathroom ]
"What is this place? Its so luxurious...", replied Hero Eva.
"This is the bathing area. This thing is called a 'shower', if you turn the knob to the right, it becomes hot hoter. While if you turn it to the right, it becomes cold water. This one is called a 'toilet', it has a option about the water container called a 'flush', it removes your excess waste. But never put other items in it except your shit and piss. Did you get all that?", explained Tonny.
"Woah!!!! What about this one? This shiny wall? Who are those people in the wall?", asked Hero Eva.
"That is called a 'Mirror', it reflects light and you can see yourself and me standing before it. They are not strangers but rather you are seeing yourself in the mirror. Anything else you want to know?", asked Tonny.
"Ah... Nothing else, thank you!", replied Hero Eva.
"Alright, call me using this bell, by clicking on it you can call me or one of the staff to get you your order or if you need anything. If there is nothing else, have a relaxing rest time. Check out is exactly at 8am in the morning.", explained Tonny.
[ Tonny leaves the room, leaving Hero Eva to herself ]
[ Hero Eva proceeds to lie down the bed ]
[[ Hero Eva: Hah... Today sure was eventful... I'll just take a nap and.... *snores* ]]
