After finishing his chores with nothing exciting happening he heads over to the mine to check on Kib. The walk is a tough less than an hour now that he knows the best route, and has grown far more athletic. The increase in his muscle definition, speed, and combat skill in the last month has been surprising.
It must have been because Bandlor activated his heroic aura. El can’t recall feeling any substantial progress before that. Well, there was the dream he had on the first night of the month. Couldn’t have been anything more than a fey mood.

Top’s Plan
After Kib is finished working El helps prepare some food for him. Top sticks around as the other laborers disappear and proposes a plan to El and Kib for him to do a five-day route between here and Crestfall.
“It would be a synch.” Top explains. “For supplies and a wagon, I would only need ninety gold. Then I could get the mine’s extra resources together and El could go on my first trip. We would go to Crestfall, the nearest city that was larger, and sell for profit. There were other halflings who could take my spot on the mining team and I could generate sixty silver every five days in profit for us.”

“That’s unreasonable.” Kib crosses his small and scaled arms.
“No, it’ll be good to establish trade. I’ll pay for it, we leave on the first of next month. No delays.” El looks to Top for confirmation.
“You can count on me.” The halfling nods eagerly.
“Fine, I’m paying twenty of it.” Kib gets up to fetch his gold.
“Thanks, buddy!” El calls out before returning to Top. “My money is stashed in the barn. You’ll get some on the trip back home.”
“Then you’ve got a driver.” Top and El shake on it.
El and Kib do a bit of hunting before El goes back to the village. The two face-down some wolves and keep tabs on some goblin tracks.

El heads back to the village, he checks into the barn to grab his gold and heads to the tavern to find Top. The halfling is at the bar halfway through a pint when El sits beside him.
“Agh!” The halfling says, spitting some as he slams his drink down. “The town's very own hero is here!”
“Hero?” Erin passes by. “If you’re a hero are you finally going to have a drink with me?” Erin leans against the bar angled towards El.
“Arkin wouldn’t approve.” El shrugs. “And I’ve brought more trouble to town than good.”
“Well, that's just not true.” Erin scoffs.
“So that's why you had to save my ass from the guards?” El folds his arms and sinks into himself.
“Didn’t you get away from them? They haven’t been a problem for the town since.” Erin comments.
John stops and thinks over her wording.
“They left town?” El looks between her and Top.

“Yeah,” They both answer.
“Why do you think you’re still alive?” Top smirks.
“Luck.” El readjusts himself in his seat. He normally never lies.
“Well, what brings you in today then?” Erin asks.
“Oh, I got this for Top.” El drops the bag of seventy gold coins in front of Top.
“Are you kidding me?” Top hisses. “Here?” He grabs the bag and retreats from the bar. “Thank you!” He calls out as he runs out the tavern door.
“How much was that?” Erin’s confusion catches El’s attention as he turns back to her.
“Seventy,” El answers quicker than he can decide if answering is a good idea or not.
“How do you make that kind of money?” Her mouth stays slightly apart and she leans in to listen to El. “Are you secretly a gigolo?”
“What! No.” El leans back as his face grows red hot.
“What, it's an honest profession, considered dabbling myself if times ever get too hard.” Erin smiles wickedly.
“Well then.” El brushes the comment aside. “Cheap rent with amenities included, competitive wages, and intense savings.”
“Oh, that’s all? Are you sure you aren’t just lucky?” Erin teases.
“Maybe I am.” El shrugs.”I have to get some sleep though. I’ll see you again later.” El stands and leaves the bar.
“Damn it,” Erin mutters.
El walks through the village back to his barn, climbs up into his loft space, and drifts off to sleep in his comfy bed.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
