Master Of None Chapter 44
Advertisement
Walker had chosen a bedroom close to the stairs so he could get up and move more easily without waking others. The room was not furnished and only had a bed as of now but, walker knew he could fill it over time.
Leaving his room just as the sun rose he found Remey already waiting for him. "Well didn't you sleep long pfft" he knew she was just teasing him but was curious how early she had awoke. He was sure that being the big sister of the orphanage gave her plenty to do earlier in the morning.
They walked down the stairs and grabbed some bread to eat on the way to the forge. Walker's mother had already been up as usual baking so he didn't disturb her. He was thankful that with her system she could place orders for food from home and have them delivered. It definitely took the hasstle out of shopping for ingredients.
Exiting the mansion, Walker said a quick good morning to the guards and proceeded on their way. The nice part of being out early was that they didn't get any looks from wandering nobles as they weren't out yet. Only craftsman and carriage drivers seemed to be out to do deliveries. Many delivering high class ingredients or the unusual parcels to large mansions or high end shops. Even the horses pulling these carts were high end.
With no problems at all the pair made it to the lower tier and headed towards the orphanage first, mostly because walker could see a bit of stress in Remeys eyes. The orphanage was a slightly run down building near the church. It's walls used to be white but had faded to grey. A small garden made up the yard to help with food. They'd built a small pen for a cow to provide milk. This was due to the nuns being required to assist in the growth of orphans as part of their training. However the funds for the orphanage came from the castle not religion.

It wasn't so much that they hurt for funding; it was more that people chose not to recognize that some children had no homes or family. It would be interesting to see what Remey could do with her title of hero to affect the orphanage.
Before the two even made it to the door, a group of kids burst out tackling Remey to the ground.
"Get her!"
"Surprise attack tackle!!!"
"This time we'll win!"
These phrases of battle continued as Remey began rising up and throwing kids off her arms and legs. It was an endless battle, making walker realize how she had easily unlocked her system. While Remey said hello in this manner walker noticed an older woman watching with a slight smile.
"Hello, my name's Walker I'm a member of Remeys party, we were in the area so we decided to stop by for a bit before we headed to the forge and alchemist building." Walker was polite as ever.
"How nice, tell your parents they did well raising you. Hahaha, my names Lin I'm in charge of the little monsters over there. I hope you're all treating Remey well, she's always acting hot tempered but she's more doting than anyone else here. Although her sense of timing could use work, we were just about to start lessons for the day now I'll have to calm them down." Even with those last words the smile grew on Lin's face. She was fairly happy that the first of Remeys party she'd brought home was a boy and decided she might just tease Remey a bit later.
"Hey get your butts inside before I drag you in!!!! You aren't escaping math lessons today!" Surprising Walker Lin let out a loud yell causing every child to snap to attention and rush inside.Some glanced at walker in curiosity but didn't dare disobey Lin.

"We'll get you next time!" One boy yelled as he slammed the door closed so Remey couldn't pursue him.
"They'll never beat me, I'm just too strong" Remey was all too happy at another victory over her siblings.
"Ohhh yes another win for Remey I guess being the only one to bring a boy home does make you a winner." Lin's statement caused Remey to stutter and flush red. Walker however was unfazed catching on to Lin's mischief.
"I know you worry about those gremlins in there but you haven't even been gone a day! Take this polite young man and get a move on! Here I thought you were growing up. Hahaha" Lin chuckled as she said this causing Remey to turn and move on her way at a fast pace.
"Fine I won't visit ever!" Remey was embarrassed and said she wouldn't return but both Lin and walker knew they were false words.
Fearing Remey would get too far away walker quickly followed "it was nice to meet you! I'll have my mother send some bread for you all!" Walker hurriedly caught up to Remey. It was time to pay the forge and visit the alchemy building.
The walk was short and Walker was able to pay at the counter of the forge very easily, being told that the gate would be placed in a few hours and people had already been sent to repair and clean up the wall.
This left the alchemy building. The building was similar in size to the forge since they required heat to cook many things. The first floor was a large shop selling potions, herbs, and some monster parts. There was also an assortment of tools one may need. The second floor housed many rooms for producing potions and processing herbs. Their third floor was the same as the forge; housing the offices of the alchemist building. As the pair approached the entrance walker noticed many colored smokes coming from the different stacks. He had always wondered what herbs and potions created these different colors. Pushing the theory from his mind, he opened the front door.

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
