Takeshi Haruka POV:
It has been 3 whole days since I made my escape and I was hitting north or at least that's what I think I'm heading at well I guess it won't matter where I go. I was in a small forest biome where I slept on top of a tree, the only source of water I had was when it rained.
So I used Water Vision, to look for any source or traces of water. I then spot a small pond, it will most likely contain some type of disease, if I drink straight from the pond it will probably build up a immunity however I can't properly assume because my system is weaken from the lack of food and water.
(Water Vision: Emit water from one's eyes,this allows the user to sense and look for nearby water and if under water there able to see.)
So for now, boiling the water well have to do. My eyes gaze at the pond looking for any items to use. Then I saw a metal canister in the pond. I could use that by craving it open and use it for as a metal cup then use it to boil the water.
I then went over to a tree and snapped a tree branch to make a fire. I then snapped the same tree for getting fire wood.
•snap
•snap
I then grab two rocks from the ground and clash them together, then eventually a fire
15 minutes later-
15 minutes went by and now I have fresh water, now my problem will be food, I looked around and realized there problem won't be any animals, then look down and notice bugs.
Welp better get use to eating them, I then grab some with my barehand and crushed them with my hand, killing them I went over to the same tree that had its branches snap of.
I then snapped another tree branch and then made small chunks of wood into sticks. I then started attaching the bugs on the end of the sticks and roasted them.
15 minutes later-
I finally had something to eat, it wasn't a lot but was plenty for me to survive. I gaze up towards the sky and notice how peacefull it looks. Since I haven't been able to see the bright blue sky or if there were any clouds or how sunny the sun was.
Anyway I need to get moving and find a village of some sort or a town just to get my geography mapped out.
2 hours of walking-
I spotted a tiny village up towards a mountain , it looks about 1 kilometer from here. I stop for a moment then, manipulate the sweet from my clothes then instantly drink it.
I make my way towards the village, my eyes wonder around me and the first thing I notice was the road pathways are in bad conditions, a lot of carriages come around.
I arrive at the front entrance of the tiny village and it's name
Stonecrest village-
I walked in, but before I could get in a village guard stops me from entering.
" Stop right there!"
Then the guard questioned my name and intentions.
"Sate your name and purpose!"
I replied with.
" My name is Takeshi, my purpose is to known where I'm at."
" Hmm Takeshi and your saying you don't even know where your at."
The guard responds with a clear understanding of my situation.
" Yes if you could be so kind as to lend me a map I would appreciate it. I will leave the village once I found out where I'm at."
I say.
" Hmm if you're looking for us to take in refugees then you could just leave."
I replied to his answer with
" Well I'm not just looking to see where I'm at."
Then continued by asking a question.
"Do you happen to know where the Lake Village is at?."
The guard responded with.
"If your looking for a village then I'm willing to let you pass.However if I catch you messing around our village then you will be facing consequences."
He warned me if I do cause trouble I will be in major trouble.
I don't like how he said that, I will grab what I neede then leave.
I walked into the village it was a nice looking village, the layout of the place is wonderful built around the mountain.
I noticed children around my age happily playing around and enjoying their youth.
I envy them, they had happy and cheerful memories, while I'm fighting my depression.
Anyway of to a library to find where I'm at.
I walked up to a villager and asked them a question.
"Hello can you sh…"
I was rudely interrupted by this dick head.
"Beat kid!"
I walked up to another villager, and asked them a question.
" Hello could you…"
I was interrupted.
" scram kid!"
Was it my physical appearance that made them think I was a beggar.
I walked back towards where the children my age where.
I then asked one of them a question.
"Where is the library."
They looked confused then looked at my physical appearance this dip shit laughs at me.
"Hahahaha this kid is poor."
Other children started laughing as well.
"hahaha look at his fish eyes
"Haha look how long his messy hair is."
Well then fuck them.
I walked away, this time walking around the village then I finally found a library.
I walked up to the librarians desk and asked.
"Map of Isvan and Stonecrest village please.
The librarian gave me a questionably gaze then said.
" you will find what your looking for in section #6.
" Thank you so much."
I immediately pick up the map that has information of Isvan up and quickly read through it, I need to straight NorthWest.
I placed the maps back then left the library, I went to the village entrance then left heading Northwest.
Lake village is only 16 kilometers away it's not that far off then I expected, however I will nead to make a bit stop to this village called Tradehaven village
It's a village with massive goods and trades. I will head there for me to earn me some jewels. Only problem it's 9 kilometers away.
By the time I get it there it will be night time, so I will make a small little campfire then make my way to the village.
2 hours later-
It was night fall , I wished for some sort of roof , but a tree will do. I'll make sealing traps just in case someone approaches me in my sleep.
Year:X778 January , 6
Early morning-
I really need a good sleep.Ahh my back hurts for bad comfort sleep.
Anyway, I looked over to where my traps where and it wasn't a person caught in my sealing trap but a goblin.
The trap caught them in a water bubble.
$$$$$$
Free money.
"Now then little guy where are your friends.
Well I went to a goblin nest , there was about 60 of them, welp I know there ears well be worth the collection. I also killed the Goblin lord, his head could be worth something.
15 minutes later-
I then used Shadow storage: to store the 60 goblin (left) ears on all of the goblins.
(Shadow storage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
I then casted Water vision: to look for any nearby water source, so I could somewhat clean myself.Before I do any cleaning,I need to clenching my thirst.
(Water Vision: Emit water from one's eyes,this allows the user to sense and look for nearby water and if under water there able to see.)
15 minutes later-
Now I'm on my way to the Tradehaven village , I was at the front entrance then meet with two post guards.
"State your business!"
One guard(1.) asked.
"Trading."
I replied.
"Very well don't cause any trouble."
The other guard says (2.)
I entered the village and went straight towards the trading market. I walked up towards a civilian and asked
" Which trading post will take goblin ears and give the most for its value."
The civilian looked confused as to why or how I got such item, they then said.
"Look kid these things are dangerous why don't you give them to me and I'll take care of them for you.
Saying all of this bullshit with a goofy face, is even more irritating than it should.
"Just show me where to make the trade in the proper trading venue."
I asked annoyed.
" Listen here brat show me proper respect as adult."
He says annoyed.
I walked away towards a ceramic shop.
"Hey brat come back here."
The civilian says, however his voice just disappears as I continue to walk farting away from him.
This place won't have what I'm looking for,but they will be able to show me the way to a proper place.
The ceramist of this place was a man with a brown-dark long hair into a bun.
"Welcom if you need anything here, your welcome to ask for help.
He kindly welcomed me first before asking if I needed help with a purchase, sadly for him.
"Sorry for saying this but could you tell me where I could sell monster parts?"
I asked the ceramist by rudely mentioning another store.
"Ohh..the store next to our local guild is across from it."
"Thanks a lot."
I'll come back for 8 lovely flower pots.
5 minutes later-
I was exactly where the local guild was at, I looked across from the guild and I saw an adventure based store. It well mostly sell healing potions and anti- poison potions.
I then walked up towards the entrance and opened the door.
"Welcome in..hmm I never seen you before."
The shop owner says in a unfamiliar manner.
"Just passing by, now how much jewels for per goblin ear."
"600 jewels per goblin ear."
He sates the goblin ear price.
"Here is 60 ear pieces."
I pulled the goblin ears from my shadowstorage.
•!!!
"T..That's 36,000 jewels."
He says panicking.
"Well do you not have enough then."
I said.
"N..no k..sir."
He muttered then chimes in.
"I was just shocked that's all."
I then said.
"Well I also have a goblinlord head."
I also add in.
"Will that be worth anything."
He replied to with.
"8..8,000 jewels for the head."
I remarked by.
"Perfect I will take 44,000 jewels."
•$$$
I then walked away from the store and headed back towards the ceramist , I walked in.
"Welcome.."
I chimed in before he could finish.
" I'm here to buy 9 small flower pots please."
The ceramist smiled brightly, then charged me.
" That will be 3,200 jewels."
"Okay."
I then head out towards the front entrance of the village, I then spotted the same two guards standing there. I made my way out of the village.
"Wait y..you, never mind you can pass."
Guard (2.) says remembering, not long ago I was just here. It hasn't been long since then, what just under 20 minutes since I got did my business then left,but before I leave.
"Hey do any of you have an extra map to the village I might make business habit of coming here, I'm willing to pay 1,000 jewels for it."
" Make it 2,000 and I will give you my map.
Said a guard(1.).
"Deal."
The guard pulls out a map to the village showing everything inside the village and outside.
Well then I'm left with 38,800 jewels. I then made my way back home to Lake Village.
