《Life as a solo gamer》Chapter 14 - Some clothes
Advertisement
Before going I talk back to the employee.
"Umm, I would like another quest, can you show me the list? Or whatever it is? Please?"
"*Sigh*, you know, most adventurers get some rest after a quest. it's almost dark outside."
"Well, I only picked up some her-"
"'152' Jermeth herbs."
"Yes, I know that. I'm not tryna do the quest right away, I'm gonna do that tomorrow."
"Why not ask for one tomorrow?"
"Because..." Is that any of YOUR business? Jesus with your 20 questions, just answer me, you unprofessional fuck. "...when I wake up, I can go do the quest right away instead of coming back here. Now can I have my QUEST please?"
The girl lazily points towards my right.
"The quest board for 'Rank E Adventurers' is over there..."
I walk towards the quest board without responding to her. 'She should give me some respect.'
"Herbs, herbs, herbs, is there anything else but herbs?... Ok let's see here 'Kill 30 goblins South-East of Nacrama, bring 30 ears as proof, reward '10 silver coins'"
Nacrama, huh? that's this city's name, isn't it? The reward isn't that bad... I mean another reward... for only me, is I get XP, 1 goblin is 50 XP so 30 goblins is 1500 XP, right now I need 500 XP for a Lvl. But next level up is probably gonna be around 800 XP so... I'll only level up 2 times after this quest.
Now that I've realized, I think I'm the only one here who can 'Lvl up' here, actually no, scratch that, I think other people can level up as well, BUT, they aren't aware of it. Cause they don't have 'status'. Well, I'm sure people have 'Appraisal' but I don't think appraisal shows stuff like Level's even if the appraisal is a high level. Well, we will know in the future.

Got off topic there. "Let's grab this quest." I grab the piece of paper from the quest board. And walk towards the bitch employee to hand it over to her.
"Here you go."
"Give me your guild card."
Wow, 0 respect. At least be polite... Is it because I'm a kid? Is it because she's mad about earlier? Haha, watch later when I'm a high-rank adventurer will you continue acting like that?
I hand over my guild card. 'I wish I can throw it in her face'.
"There's always adventurer's like you, biting off more than you can chew, Especially a kid like you? pfft, Here's your card."
"Thanks, bitch."
"Excuse me?"
I walk out of the guild, this time I hear no loud screaming behind me. In fact, I hear nothing at all.
"Ah, I lost my temper. I shouldn't have done that. Well I mean I thought she would say something like 'Be careful', 'it's dangerous!' or 'It's Risky! You should come back when your higher rank!'" They should just hire monkeys instead.
Anyways... I'm gonna go on a buying spree! Mmmm, let's see here... Ahhh, yes, some clothes. You know what, not only am I getting clothes. I'm getting armor, a good pair of shoes and a new sword. 'This sword is probably contaminated I don't want this shit'. Well, jokes aside I don't want this sword, cause every time I look at it, it reminds me of that ugly ass face. And I can get a better one either way cause I got 5 gold coins.
"Let's start with clothes." I walk back to the same clothes store I was at yesterday.
"Hello miss, It's good to see you here again!" The employee greets a customer.
"Why hello there. Don't mind me, I'm just browsing to see if anything is to my liking."

"Please Take your time."
I walk to the employee.
"Hi there!"
The employee glances at me then sais.
"The crappy clothes are in the corner over there. Don't worry they are all cheap."
This fucking... I swear are all employee's in this city so rude? Just because I look poor?
"No no no, please point me where there are the most expensive clothes? especially my size. Oh! And can it be adventurer clothes? You know like clothes for combat and such."
"Sorry, but do you have enough coins?"
I show him a single gold coin.
"Hahahaha, I'm sorry for being impolite please follow me."
That's right, you show some coins and they do a 180-degree change.
Uhmm ok? I mean I followed this guy but I didn't really have to, we only walked for a couple of seconds to the adventurer clothes section. Mmmm He's probably tryna be nice. whatever.
"Thanks,"
"No problem, if there is anything you need please call me ove-"
"No, I need you right now, please give me the most expensive adventure combat clothes whatever its called, for my size too please."
"Ah, yes please wait a moment.... How about this? it cost 15 gold coins, its fire resistant and-"
"No no, I mean something easy to wear. For combat just some easy to wear combat clothes please."
"That's it? Please wait a moment.... This right here, black long sleeve shirt. It's easy to wash off blood and it's a little tight. It cost 1 silver coin. There really isn't 'Adventurer's clothes' Adventurers just wear normal clothes preferably clothes easy to move around in. Such as this."
"Ok, I would like that and some pants."
"Here is the pants, its also black, easy to wash off blood and tight. Cost 1 silver coin."
"Do you have the same pair as these but not tight?"
"Yes we do would you like those?"
"Yes please" Wouldn't I look weird if my pants were that tight? Unless it's some skinny jeans.
"The total price is 3 silver coins."
"3? Isn't it 2? I mean you said the price of the pants were 1 silver coin."
"The price of the tight ones are 1 silver coins while these ones are 2 silver coins."
"I wonder why?"
"The tight ones are good in combat but barely anyone buys them."
Well, there you have it. "Anyways, here's 3 silver coins. Goodbye"
"Thank you very much! Have a nice day."
I wear the clothes immediately and leave the old ones on the ground. "Ah.... it's all black, I look like I'm gonna rob a place." Next, I need some shoes... And some socks, I am still bare foot after all.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.

The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ
