Arv Shaw.
A random ass npc, just like most of his friends, had the most npc like face, voice, a receding hairline (fuck my life), downright horrendous communication skills, a fucking failure to his loving and amazing parents and worst of all...no bitches. Okay that hurts a little.
The point is, I think this all might change.
"What?"
I might finally get a second chance.
"Wait wait wait"
A new chance.
"Ouch! Pinching hurts...so this is actually real?"
Now finally I can reverse my mistakes, make friends, and start my life from—
Inhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale.
-from Zero!!!
"WOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
**************************************
Yeah well that is good and all but what am I supposed to do now?
I walked through the lively and busy street. Looking at the surrounding I have concluded one thing. First, I can't read. Second, this is a medieval world.
I continued walking through the city aimlessly until a building caught my eye. It looked like a bar, I could gather some info here.
"Excuse m-" As I looked inside the door, I did not see a single human, everyone was a furry. They all looked at me with unfiltered contempt in their eyes.
"Whatchu doin here pretty boy?"
I looked behind me as a gruff voice of a big lizard man called out to me.
"What? Are humans not allowed here?" I asked as politely as I could (yea bullsh*t) trying to avoid conflict.
"You're messing with me huh?!" That big gecko tried to hold my shoulder but instead I reflexively held his hand and threw him across the bar, which resulted in him crashing into the big chamber or wine behind the bartender.
Holy shit...How did I do that? Protagonist status?
"That boy threw Streid?!"
"Holy shit did you see that?!"
"STREID IS KNOCKED OUT!!!"
"WHAT?!?! WITH JUST A SINGLE THROW OF THAT MERCENARY?!?!"
Mercenary? Me? I thought skeptically. Meh who cares. Probably took out the big boss here so time to farm some Aura, hehe.
"Now then" I rubbed my hands, as if trying to wipe off the dust after throwing that demi-human. "Anyone else who doesn't want to comply?" My sharp gaze fell over every single person inside the bar.
Many people gulped, some tightened their grip on their weapons, while some were planning to jump through the window to escape.
"Tell me, where is this place?"
Everyone stopped and looked straight at me.
Why are they looking at me like I am a retard? I just asked a genuine question!!
"What? Cat got your tongue?" I narrowed my eyes in mild irritation.
"EEK!!"
"AIEEEE!!"
BOOM
CRASH
SHATTER
The bar was now empty. Not a single soul. They all jumped out of the fking window. Who does that? Dosen't the glass shards hurt?
"Well, whatever."
I resumed my stroll through the town, city, or whatever the heck it was until I entered the market.
The crowd became a lot thicker than in the previous region.
This many people...must be an important city. As I was thinking that, I looked up a little as I spotted a humongous castle very far in the distance. A castle? Then this city is...the capital of the kingdom I guess. What a place to spawn. And then suddenly my attention went to a certain stall, no rather the "apples" there.
"Yo bro, want to buy some appas?"
"What the fuck is an 'appa'?"
I looked up from the "Appa" to a muscular short green-haired man with a long scar on his face.
"What did you say bro?"
"Me? Nothing ofc!" Ah, I should not voice my opinions aloud like that. It's bad for my introvert self.
"So, are you buying something or not?" He asked me with a suspicious look on his face.
Bitch I'm broke asf. How do you expect me to pay? Not that I'd say this out loud.
"Ah. I'm just looking around, not exactly in the mood to buy something right now." A perfect dodge from getting publicly humiliated!
"Looking around? With the way you're dressed and that long black hair. You're a traveler or something?"
"Long...hair?" What is this man talking about? Last time I checked, my hair was like a half-deforested forest. Besides that stuff...if we are going with something like the typical isekai world, then—
"Hey old man, can I look at a copper coin once?" I asked as politely as I could with a smile.
"WHO'RE YOU CALLING AN OLD MAN HUH BRAT?!"
Ah shit. "Woah no need to get so hypa' man. Just wanted ta' look at it." I waved both my hands in front of me trying to calm him down.
"That accent. You from Kararagi boy?"
Kararagi? Must be a country. "Yup yup exactly man!"
"Hm" He grunted and then threw a coin towards me which I caught with relative ease, which again surprised me as I had dogwater level reflexes on earth. Now that I think about it. Why am I wearing gloves? And why are my sleeves so long?! Anyways, ahem!
I looked at the copper coin in my hand. It had an imprint of what resembled a castle like the one I just saw.
Hm I see I see. Now let's return this. I closed my hand as I was about to throw it back to the man but as I closed my fist, I felt something clang within it.
What the fu- Inside the palm were now, not 1 but two copper coins. I had an inkling as to what it was so to confirm it, I imagined some force going into my palm and then open and closed it 5 times. Boom! Now I am not so broke as I have 6 copper coin of my own.
"Old man" I threw his 1 coin back to him as I continued with a smile knowing-
"How much is one Appa for?"
-My new life has begun with a boom.
