《Travel Through The Lands》Chapter 15. First Equipment
Advertisement
Walking inside his room, Lief first noticed the size of the room it was really quite small, barely fitting a bed and a small bathroom.
"Although it's small, at least I'm not staying outside... It's not like I could afford anything better I only have 80 silver left, I should have brought more coins." Lief mumbled to himself as he lay on his bed to sleep.
[Would you like to set an alarm?]
Before Lief closed his eyes he had another plain piece of text pop up in front of him, glancing at it for a moment he tapped yes and almost immediately after fell asleep.
---
[System Alarm Commencing.]
*Zzst*
Lief stumbled out of bed in a hurry, grabbed his knife and flailed it around for several seconds before he realised there was nothing there.
"Uh, What?" He was sure he was just attacked, his whole body had a shock!
[Alarm completed, good morning Lief]
Plain white text appeared once again in Liefs eyesight.
"Wait, so it was this thing?! OH! So does alarm mean wake up, you could have done it gentler..." Lief complained towards the text.
[Alarm changed to light electric shock]
Mumbling in aggravation Lief decided that he would probably not use the "alarm" function again.
Lief decided to make his bed before he left, however, as he approached his bed he saw that there was a charcoal like human silhouette dug into it.
"It seems that for now ill have to buy leather clothing, hopefully, I will be able to find an alternative, though. I may freeze without winter clothes..."
After doing his daily stretches he wore his shredded trousers and boots before sprinting as fast as he possibly could towards the clothing store.
It was about 5:55, so there were no people outside yet.

They were probably setting up the store or still sleeping.
Lief reached the entrance to the clothing store just as its front door opened,
[Alice]
(Level 1)
(Shopkeeper Level 5)
Seeing her name and level Lief came to the understanding that not everyone selected classes nor did everyone focus on their main levels. It's understandable, how many shopkeepers would risk their lives for strength?
'But wouldn't Charisma help her sell to people? The [I] on Charisma told me it increases several things but one of them was your interaction with other people...'
"Ehh? Pervert?" a young woman asked as she saw Lief standing there almost nude.
"What? No, don't be silly I need to buy leather clothes, fast!" Lief tried to rush the woman into opening the doors.
"Oh... Um, please come in ill go and fetch some from the back..." The woman blushed as she leads Lief into the store before walking into the back.
Glancing around the store, Leif came to the conclusion that this was probably quite the popular store. The prices were reasonable and they seemed to sell every type of clothing you could want.
Whilst Lief was nosing around the store the young woman, Alice, called him over to the counter whilst holding a box.
"Heres your...Leather clothing, sir."
Opening the box to check Lief was flabberghasted!
"Wh..I told you I'm not a pervert..."
Lief reminded Alice seriously.
"Ye-"
"I WANT LEATHER ARMOR NOT A GIMP SUIT!" Lief cut Alice off and furiously yelled.
"I- I'm sorry sir I truly misunderstood, please accept my apology, I'll go retrieve some now please excuse me!" Alice completely flushed red as she ran into the back once again.
'Wow... Cities are not as I had imagined them being at all... The people here have such strange hobbies...'

Lief wouldn't have known what a "Gimp" was if there wasn't a picture on top of all of the leather depicting it in detail with a title and everything.
Alice cautiously walked back towards the counter, she was obviously afraid to approach incase Lief yelled again.
Lief looked at her as she approached, she was a small girl. She had brown eyes and she was brunette she looked similar to a lot of the girls from his home.
She placed a box on the counter and waited for Lief to check the contents.
[Leather Hood] (Light)
[Leather Amor] (Light)
[Leather Belt] (Light)
[Leather Leggings] (Light)
[Leather Boots] (Light)
[Leather Cape] (Light)
Seeing the bundle of clothing in front of him Lief couldn't help but smile.
"Take away the Cape and the boots and then tell me the price." Lief requested.
"Without the cape or the boots, the total is 80 silver. 20 silver per piece of armour."
"..." Lief helplessly handed over his last silver coins, to think that one piece of armour costs as much as two nights in an inn!
Lief wasted no time, he walked into the shops small but convenient Changing Rooms and put on his new armour, it all fit well!
[Leather Hood] (Light) Equipped, No bonuses.
[Leather Amor] (Light) Equipped, No bonuses.
[Leather Belt] (Light) Equipped, No bonuses.
[Leather Leggings] (Light) Equipped, No bonuses.
"No bonuses? Does that mean some armours give bonuses?" Lief asked himself as he pulled his hood down, waved goodbye to Alice and left the shop.
His current destination was the Adventurers Guild. It was located in the centre of the City, about a five-minute walk.
The streets were a lot more lively now. There were people of all different classes walking around, Lief even thought he was quite lucky he wasn't a higher level than everyone. Can you imagine being forced to see so many names and details? There must be a way to change that...
As Lief was walking he noticed that he was getting stares from quite a large amount of the passersby. His armour wasn't unusual, he had seen several other people wearing similar leather armour....
Then he started to overhear some of their chatter...
"A level 1 with no class?"
"He doesn't even have any titles..."
"Do you think he came from the mountains?"
It seemed that his level was normal but not having a class or titles made him strange? Hmm...
After enduring countless stares he had finally arrived at the Adventures Guild.
Surprisingly the Adventurers guild resembled a Castle, it was just a smaller version, its doors were made out of stone.
It was time to sign up.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
