《After the Game Over》Chapter 5 : A New Plan
Advertisement
In a crowded market, a young man wearing a white shirt and a brown pants was seen bargaining with one of the dealers at one of the weapons stalls there.
"Come on! 5 silver coins are enough for this poor sword!"
Said the young man, pointing at the sword he was holding towards the dealers who was an orc.
"Hey boy, if you want to buy a weapon with just 5 silver coins you can buy this knife, looks it’s handy for you! If you don't want to, get out here!"
The dealers said with a shout. His saliva flying in all directions from his wide open mouth.
"Who wants a knife to cut vegetables! All right, I'll pay this sword of yours at full price! 8 silver coins! Hmph!"
The dealers could only shake his head and continue his activities without paying attention to the young man who was now starting to smile.
The young man was Lucius who immediately carry out his (stupid) plan.
With a stupid smile he hooked the sword to his belt and continued his journey in the market district.
"Heh ... I didn't expext i can bought this sword at 8 silver coins with it's original price reaching 10 silver coins! I know I'm talented in bargaining! If only i can bargained the merchandise on the supermarket near my house on earth!"
In the "World of Order" usually the items that sold by NPCs and systems cannot be bargained at all and many items have very expensive price that will make you weep because of it.
Of course, with the lack technology at that time, it did not allow items to be bargained from an NPC's because they just like an old RPG game in your PC.
Lucius walked there and here just to buy merchandise that he considered attractive enough and put it in his Spatial Pouch that was tied to his waist.
Lucius's Spatial Pouch is a bit special because it is connected to treasurry rooms and can only be used by a Lucius himself.
After being content for some items that can be considered as a junks, Lucius stopped in front of a two-story building, in front of it's building there was a large board with a word "Fighter's Tavern" written on it.
While rubbing his chin Lucius saying. "Fighter's Tavern? I don't remember to made this place. Whatever, maybe there's something interesting inside "
While shrugging his shoulders he stepped into the building.
When Lucius entered the building he was stunned by what he saw.Inside is seen a ring located in the middle of the building and in there 2 people are fighting, kicking and punching.
Well not a man actually but a bulky Orc and a big Minotaur.
Many of the spectators from various races who sat around tables with their friend or scattered around the ring, shouted while raising their food and glasses or maybe pounding the tables with their big, muscular hands.
The shouts of the two people that fighting were submerged by laughter and shouts from the audience as there were also several people who make a bet on them, shake their pockets until there was the sound of coins jingling inside it and laugh after that.
You could say this is a Boxing place with a noisy bar on it. An interesting combination for a tavern.

When Lucius was looking at the unusual appearance of this tavern, he felt a hand at his shoulder.
Looking at the hand came from, he found a young woman wearing a faded-brown maid outfit with a black skirt smiling kindly at him while pulling back her hand.
The young woman was seen around 17-18 years old with a height of about 165 -170 cm.
She has a long brown hair, an oval face with blue eyes and pink lips that look like always smiling. Her skin, which was slightly brownish in color, just added more attractiveness to the young woman.
Still with her friendly smile the woman opened her mouth and a melodious voice coming from it.
"Excuse me sir, do you need anything?"
"Ah ... of course?"
…
While eating his food, Lucius watched 2 people competing in the ring, both of them did not use weapons and only with their bare hands, they punched and kicked each other like crazy.
Afraid of getting hurt? Relax there is some Priest and Clerics who are watching, drinking, also gambling, worry not you can always paid them to heal you.
But, do they really have no other work in their temples? Why are they gambling and drinking here?
Speaking of the temples, in this city we have 3 temples which worship 3 different gods and goddesess.The most famous is the Temple of Goddes of Sun, Gyenera with Hyacint the Sun which is one of my right hands as the High Priest in it.
Second is Orius, a God of War or something that is widely worshiped by warriors and adventurer around the city.
The third is Alethius the Goddess of Wealth and Fortune who is famous among traders that loves money.
Actually in the game Temples only established for players to replace / receive job class, treatment, blessings or anything that requires divine spells from a Priest.
So I don't know what the temple do in this real world.
When I was still eating my food, the match was ended with one of the participants heading towards my tables.
That guy has a shoulder-blond hair, pair of blue-eyed, and a triangular face, without a single hair on his smooth face.
The man wore a black long-sleeved shirt the same as his black trousers. His body does not look muscular but thin, actually looks more feminine side. If you look carefully at him you can call him a beautifull guy type.
Even though his face had several bruises, he still really bauti-, ahem, handsome guy I mean.The man roughly sat in front of my tables and drank my beer without noticing me who was glaring at him.
"Hey! That's my beer! "
"Hmm? Your beer? Why did I see it just sitting on this table untouched?"
When I heard that I could only shut my mouth.
"What a shamaless guy" I said under my breath while eating my food again and now from what I see from corner of my eyes he also begin ate my food.
‘Who also wants to talk to rude guy. Not worth it'
Seeing me ignored him, that guy let out a grunt and said while pointing me with his thin finger.
"Hmmp! Weak, did you just lost your guts after knowing that I was too strong for you to handle? Oi, Did you hear that? Loser!"

Bam!
"Fxck! Who are you saying a loser huh!? If you dare let's fight me!"
I feel insulted! I really feel insulted!
At first I just wanted to leave all of this like a fart, but it seems that this fart is a fart like tornado that likes to damage the environment!
I was so angry that I hit the table hard with my palm and my food fall to the floor because of it!
Which then many peoples in the tavern who was watching us from the start begin to cheering and shouting while druming the table.
"Uohhh!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
And the beautiful guy showed a sly smile as if I had entered the trap.
"Ha ha ha! Let's fight then! But ... if there are no bets, it won't be exciting right? Let's bet 20 Gold Coin!"
He said while shaking a small pouch in his hand and his smile widened when he saw I was still silent.
"What? Are you a loser and a poor person?"
He said again, followed by laughters from across the tavern.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Fight baby doll!"
"Yep! If you can make his face bruished black and blue I will take you to the room!"
"Yekkk! Jack that is disgusting!"
"Ah ... I mean I'll take buy you a drink as much as you like!"
With the ridicule and insult that the other customers made, the atmosphere of the bar became even more chaotic.
…
I couldn't stand it anymore I immediately took my pocket and took exactly 20 gold coins and put them on the table.
"Alright, I'm ready!"
"Uohhh"
Still with his sneer, the beautiful guy, that's how I named him, walking towards the arena and I followed behind him.
Then both of us stood on different sides of the arena.
The beautifull guy raised his hand up and made a stance.
I also made horses stance, clenched my fists and raised them in front of my shoulder.
Without warning, he immediately advanced in an instant right in front of me and sent a fist towards my face. When I saw that I just grinning and said softly, "Thunder Punch"
Expecting my fist to dart and beat the beautiful guy out, but what I got was a hard fist in front of my face and stuck right in my eyes.
Bam!
With a strong force from that fist I almost tilted backwards and with the remaining stance I try to balance my body so that I could stand properly again.
Not waiting for me to fix my stance, the beautiful guy hit and kicked my body while I tried desperately to block it.
‘Fuck! Why can't I use the moves I used repeatedly before !? Didn't I just have to say the skill's name to attack!?'
With a pathetic situation, Lucius tried to block his successive attacks.
Squatting with his hands in front of his head to protect himself from fists and kicks, Lucius looks like a schoolboy who was bullied after the school.
With a flushed face with shame and anger Lucius jumped from his place and shouted.
"Damn!"
That guy immediately retreated and his mouth widen with a grin, like saying "What an idiot".
Lucius now just punched out blindly in rage as he kept trying to hit that guy.
The guy managed to avoid all Lucius's blows from close range with ease.
But suddenly Lucius threw his body towards the guy and made them both fall to the floor with their stomachs facing the floor and Lucius on top of the guy.
Bam!
When the two of them fell Lucius tried to lock the man like a wrestler, even though from an audience's point of view they both looked more like worms mating.
"Ha ha! I managed to get you! You have lost!"
"What!? Your skills is nothing! I can free myself in an instant!"
"Won’t be able to!"
Lucius said while his hand tried to hold the guy tighter.
When he tightened his grip, Lucius slightly put pressure on his left palm which then he felt a soft sensation on it and he try to groped it more. He thought ‘Huh? What is this?'
"Ahhhhh! Damn it! How dare you!"
With the energy that came from where the guy threw Lucius from his back.
Lucius who was shocked by the soft feeling in his left hand and by the guy's strange behavior made his mind spin quickly.
"Soft thing? Angry? Soft? Crossdressing? Ah, you are a Arkce-pffttt "
Before Lucius managed to finish the words, he felt a tremendous pain from his crotch. Wriggling on the floor like an eel but with a mouth like a koi fish trying to get a breath, Lucius tried hard to look at that gu- ahem that woman.
What he saw was that that woman ran out of the tavern in a hurry while holding her chest.
"Ah wait!"
He said while trying to stand up and walk clumsilly toward the woman.
…
In the corner of the tavern.
"Hey Fred, what does the young man mean to say that is soft and crossdressing?"
"Shut up Jack I'm not your friend."
…
Stood on the road that now looks deserted, Lucius tried to find where the woman was going.
"Heh ... So fast."
Sighing as he continued to look to the left and right him that a moment ago was crowded with traders and buyers. Now all he saw was a empty shop.
"Where are they? Isn't that very crowded just moment ago? "
Few minutes walking he arrived at one of a street near the main street of Zenilla city. He heard from a distance there was a sound of peoples there.
"Oh? Is the expedition team back? "
Running slowly through the increasingly crowded road he tried to push and head to the front of the crowded people, so that he could see clearly what they were seeing.
"Excuse me sir, excuse me little girl, excuse ... huh?"
His steps stopped and there was a shocked expression on his face.
What he saw was a group of expedition teams that looked like soldiers who barerly won after a war.
Too much blood sticks to their equipment, whether it's their blood or the blood of their enemy, certainly that is not a good thing.
Even one of them lost his left hand.
"Well, I think I have to made a new plan first."
