《Life as a solo gamer》Chapter 8 - Language Comprehension

I walk around the city. Getting weird glances nothing new.
This time, however, I don't search for a rundown clothes shop I just go to the nearest one.
Who knows there's probably cheap clothes in a good shop has well. As I enter the store with a sign saying god knows what but there's a wooden logo with a pair of pants engraved on it.
As I enter the shop/store I don't know the difference. The store clerk looks at me for a second then looks elsewhere. How rude, not even gonna greet me. Well, i understand. I look like a beggar after all...
I look around the store and see a lot of clothes. On the left side Girls, right side boys. I (obviously) go to the right side and look for clothes. I find a normal pair of pants not that bad looking. Not good either. I look at the Clerk then point at the pants.
"90 Teslo"
Blackmail 100% blackmail... This doesn't even look good but it cost 90? I was expecting around 20 or something...
I grab a pair of pants that wasn't even on a shelf it was on the ground it was torn up a little. I point at it.
"30 Teslo"
I almost thru the pair of pants in the clerk's face. The clerk looks at me with eyes filled with pity.
"*Cough* 20 Teslo"
I grab 17 copper coins and put it in the clerk's hand. Honestly, this pair of pants looks so bad it should be 5 copper coins.
The clerk looks at me. Sighs then smiles.
"Serto nanu destsha!"
I hope that meant thanks or something along the lines, but it has to be I mean she's smiling.
I walk out of the store with the pair of pants on.
"Hopefully I don't get any more weird looks."

Now let's hope that there is a guild here.
Actually, let's find a library, I need a book with this annoying ass language first. I know it will take me a LONG time to learn but it's better than not learning it. Gotta finds a building with a wooden logo of a book or something. I doubt it's like that but who knows.
After 3 hours Yes 3 hours! Of searching, I find a library with a wooden logo of a book... didn't actually think it would have one. Do they use these signs for everything?
I enter the bookstore, there are not that many books so I think it's a bookstore. I walk past the girl reading a book.
I guess if it were a library they would ask me for copper coins and give me a wooden membership item of some sort right?
I browse the books for a good 3 minutes.
"I don't understand this language so how am I supposed to know if it's that sort of boo-"
'Would you like to learn this skill' '10 Intelligence 15 Wisdom required ' 'Yes or No'
Ohhh ohh!
I wasn't expecting this!
"Yes"
A light blinds me and the book disappears.

".....uhhh thanks?"
"Well I'm off thank you so much"
"For what?"
"Oh nothing, thanks, ALOT"
"Your welcome?"
As I get out of the bookstore with a stupid grin on my face.
"Well!, Off to the guild!"

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)

8 145Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.
