《My cheat skill sucks》The inn sucks
Advertisement
Now to find an inn
I search around the city and come across a building with the sign that reads ‘’come inn’’ is that supposed to be a pun?
I push open the door and what greets me is a humble looking living room, with tables and chairs scattered about, people talking with their mates, eating meals, drinking drinks, having a jolly old time.
I walk to the official-looking desk and ring the bell, a minute later a buff looking old man oozing a dominating aura comes out of the kitchen with an apron on and walks over to me,
he sits on the chair behind the desk and asks me ‘’so what will It be?’’ the wrinkles on his face contrast with the vigour of his muscles.
looking down on me his eyes are cast in a menacing shadow as he pulls out a book from underneath, flicking through it looking like a mafia boss
h-he seems friendly enough so I reply with ‘’i-id like to stay for 3 nights’’
‘’that would be 20 copper per night, making it 60 copper, 2 meals are included, breakfast and lunch’’ he replies curtly, slamming the book shut
I pass 6 bronze into his large, battle-scarred hand and he hands me a bizarrely shaped key
‘’your room is b8, would you like your lunch now?’’ he asks, standing up and going back into the kitchen
oh right, I haven’t eaten anything yet.
I yell ‘’yes thanks’’ to his retreating figure and walk over to an empty table to sit
a moment later the burly man emerges from the kitchen with a bowl of porridge and places it on my table along with a wooden spoon
‘’eat up’’ he states before returning to the kitchen. followed by the screeching of some unknown beast
I-I is that normal around here?
take a spoonful of the porridge and find there is some meat floating in it, I take a bite, is It called a bite?
Well I eat the porridge,
it tastes salty

the porridge made with wheat, and the meat tastes like chicken, all in all, not that bad if you can handle a little salt, a little anticlimactic tho
at least it is a lot better than my own cooking, I gulp down the rest of the bowl burning my mouth in the process AAHH FIRE! my true enemy emerges again in the form of hot soup!
after I finished my meal I head up the stairs and search for my room, b1, b2, ah! There it is, b8!
I insert my key and with a twist, I enter my room,
my room is quite small, a simple box room with one bed in the centre and a chest off to the side, that must be for adventurers equipment or something,
now that I have secured a place to sleep and judging from the angle of the sun, I have little time to spend remaining.
I get on the floor and do my daily workout, not that I did it recently with all that running I did, PUSHUPS GO! 1,2,3…70,71…100! No stat ups? Well let’s go to the next one, SITUPS GO! 1,2,3…50,51…100!
Strength up
Huff huff, all that and just and I get only one point? Can I shower here?
Oh right! I forgot to turn on my suck skill! no wonder I felt so light!
I use suck on myself downwards, 5 stacks down, 5 stacks up, making sure I don't damage the floor, feeling the new pressure a lot heavier than before I climb onto my bed as it makes threatening creaking sounds.
it feels so nice sleeping on an actual bed and not a pile of hay, I pull up the blanket and go to sleep, it smells weird here.
I wake up, biting my hand to stifle my scream, and get off the bed to sit down on the floor a little to the side,
I wait for my wounds to heal as I look at the mess I made, blood scattered everywhere, blanket ripped to shreds and bed gouged in scratches, what do I do!

The inn owner will kill me for sure! I feel like a kid who wet the bed, this is humiliating
My cuts heal as I watch all the blood scattered everywhere evaporate slowly,
huh, so THAT’S how my room kept clean, I never really paid attention and just assumed the blood washed away when I cleaned my room,
but that leaves me with a shredded blanket and a sliced bed, with no evidence of a fight i.e. no blood, I can't blame it on being attacked, they will blame it on me shredding everything on purpose!
After fully healing and getting a
Vitality up
I leave the room, making sure to lock the door behind me in the process,
I get down to the first floor and sit on an empty table, there aren’t that many people here right now, probably still in bed or something though I wonder why no one picked a fight with me yet?
usually in these types of settings, there would be some obnoxious adventurers causing a ruckus
The owner comes out with a few bowls of soup, one to each of the people waiting including me. how did he know?
the soup has some sort of vegetable and meat floating around in the water, I take a bite from the meat and sip the soup, this is really good!
The meat is from some sort of cow type monster I guess since it tastes like beef, and the vegetable gives the soup a lot more flavour along with the meat, finishing up the meat and drinking the soup I exit the come inn,
I will spend today exploring the city!
I walk on the main road, carriages strolling by, horses trotting and flinging feces every which way, the people don’t seem to mind walking around with all this filth on the floor,
I move to the business looking district and find a lot of street stalls, some are selling meat skewers, others selling fruits, there are people bringing along some cow looking monster and cutting it up to sell it on the spot, proving how fresh it is, there are stalls with dried fish, stalls selling bags of wheat, oats, barley and other such things
even though it's the morning, the marketplace is still lively with the town crier shouting the daily news, the beheadings of criminals off to the side, a puppet show going on somewhere, a mage playing tricks in front of a crowd, the marching of knights patrolling, making sure everyone stays out of trouble, catching a thief, (not the class mind you, but actual thieves stealing things) and chopping of their left hand as punishment.
I head towards the sound of hammering and make my way to the smithy,
in the smithy works 4 dwarves, each around my height but thicker and full of rippling muscles, carrying large hammers and pounding away at their own project,
I look around the store, marvelling at the price tag of these pieces of equipment, iron short sword – 700 copper, iron helmet – 1400 copper, short bow – 1200 copper, longbow – 1500 copper, iron broadsword – 1200 copper, steel dagger - 800 copper
This stuff is pretty expensive

Echelon of The Owls
Parallel worlds or other worlds. The existence of infinite existence where it only exists in science fiction like in comics, books, or cartoons. We, humans, are so fond of that fiction idea, imagining a thousand worlds where we can have different appearances, lives, and selves. For example, a murderer who's been living in the underbelly of society in the dark might be the most successful businessman in an alternate timeline or reality. The infinite possibilities we could have, that's why the idea of parallel worlds revolves around "what if", " I should've...", etc. The wishful thinking that how we could have done it better or in a word, "regret". Other than that, it's still from fiction. The concept of it only exists in our imaginary minds. But, it all changed when 20 students from an ordinary high school were caught in a mysterious phenomenon. A surge of blue light crawled across the whole room, symbols, lines, and geometric patterns emerged slowly. The light slowly grew brighter and brighter, in a blink of an eye, all of them vanished. Till to this day, the mysterious phenomenon was left to be unknown, with the existence of those 20 students. Join the journey of Sirius Steorra and Alice Schwartz as they transverse to the other world and uncover the mysteries of its world. A world that’s shrouded by mysteries and history. This is their story... ----------------------------------------------------- This is also available in Webnovel and Scribblehub.
