We hit the road.
Still, no companion called Jack.
Sha.
, Wolfie, the ex-guard.
Apparently, he's from the diplomatic city.
This ans a lot to .
I've already deed him the designated NPC of that new area.
You know how in the newbie village there would be a village elder?
The one giving quests sending you on various missions.
Telling you about the inner working of the place.
This ex-guard guy will play that role for .
Right, I'm kinda tired of calling him that.
Apparently, his na is Luvon Greberos.
Please, that sounds like so randomly generated elf na.
There is sothing even wilder.
The Greberos line is actually a thing.
Actually a pretty big deal there too.
Part of the righteous factions.
Am I the only one finding the na weird?
Perhaps.
So he does his job as an NPC well.
I learn a lot.
Apparently, the city is one lting pot of religions.
Many sects from all over all interacting with one another.
All are welco, but the real power is shared between the top sects.
50 of them in total.
Decisions are taken as a group.
There are 7 neutral sects.
One of them being the rulers of the city.
This gives them the power to veto.
This leaves the 6 others as mbers.
Then there are 30 righteous sects.
Bringing the total to 36 sects that are always in power.
The remaining mbers are always changing.
Positions determined by various competitions.
You guys know what this ans?
Motherfucking tournant arc right there!
Calling it right now!
The city will be in a festive atmosphere.
I will get a glimpse of so hero or antagonist.
One that is powerful.
I will sadly get beaten up sohow to bring down a peg.
Then I will train hard.
Finally, I will show up at the tournant.
I will be the underdog.
Winning every fight.
Yet the comntators won't pay much attention.
It will turn out that all my opponents will be relatively weak.
People will admire my luck but not my skills.
Then the more it goes the more they will start wondering.
Trying to figure out my limits.
But I won't appear to have any.
Then finally will co the finals.
The fight will be epic.
Of course, I will defeat my opponent after a while.
That's when a demon will randomly pop out.
Why?
I don't know it usually goes like that.
Could be from an invasion.
Most probably from the enemy using a forbidden technique.
One that turns him into a monster.
Innocent people will die left and right.
Then I will finally defeat this new enemy.
Of course, a normal hero would show rcy.
I will likely be pissed as fuck.
I'll cut his dog head.
Then the spectators will finally open their dog eyes.
They will cheer for .
Bards will sing odes about .
Finally, I will
Or not.
The competition for that just ended recently.
That is what Luvon tells .
It won't happen for another 11 months.
Talk about shitty timing.
Rip my dreams of fa.
Oh well, this just proves that this is real life.
The whole world doesn't revolve around .
At all.
At first, I'm planning to follow him ho.
Use his family's place as a base of exploration.
That's before he tells about the etiquette.
The one I would have to learn to go with him.
Sothing about his family being old school.
This being the reason why he ran away.
Now he's coming back after a very long ti.
Yep, not going to sign up for this haha.
Boring lessons plus a possibly angry family.
I don't want to be that one parasite friend.
You know the one the useless son brings back.
The one parents can't wait to get rid of.
Except that in this world assassins are a thing.
A thing verily accessible judging from my experiences.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be groups of them.
How many contracts does one receive before having to ask buddies for help?
Probably many.
Then again probably a nice team-building activity.
The more we walk the more we talk.
We go from being half-strangers to half-friends.
Now, don't get wrong.
He is a pretty nice dude.
There is just one thing.
He's been trying to recruit recently.
At first, he does it super subtly.
I an so subtle I don't even notice.
That is until he starts dropping more hints.
Like how much they could use my expertise.
He even talks about joining the family.
I jokingly ask him if he has any cute sisters.
He does not.
He offers a position as an elder.
Usually, I would jump on the opportunity.
There is just sothing.
The righteous faction part.
The powerful part.
Not a good idea to try and trick them.
Sure it has definite advantages.
Chances are there will be responsibilities too.
What would I do if they test my actual power?
Sure I can eat king slis.
Let fight anything else and I will be at a loss.
I'm sure most of the rank 4 creatures are too fast.
I wouldn't even be able to catch them.
So I politely refuse.
Multiple tis.
I feel like every day he's asking.
I do find a solution to that.
I tell him that we'll increase the pace.
Then I run.
Of course not too fast.
You know since I don't actually know the way.
Fast enough to bring him to his absolute limits.
We keep running and running.
A few days passing.
He is surprisingly resilient.
Wolfie is following too.
Before long we are faced with the so awaited Eaglevein.
I feel like our journey was very quick.
Still, I tid it perfectly.
My companion falls unconscious from fatigue just as we reach it.
He's on the ground snoring.
He'll be fine there.
Probably.
Right, when was the last ti we slept anyway?
h, doesn't matter.
Sleep is for the week.
This is the start of a brand-new adventure!
[Wolfie are you ready?]
She nods.
This is going to be epic.
There are so many things I want to try here!
