EEEK! Why are the female NPCS so cuuute! I just want to hug them… No I can’t! The guards will put me in jail!... Sigh… I sat rested on a bench in the town’s square waiting for the time to pass…

What should I do? Urgh…. I rubbed my head, brainstorming to find any ideas…

Ah! Sell items! Quickly I stood up and searched the vicinity with tons of buildings surrounding me as I searched for a guard.

There you are! I saw a few guards nearby chatting with the citizens as they stood guard near the corner of the street.

Walking towards them with my steel axe sheathed on my back, I soon after stood at front of them as they discussed with cute girls.

I should wait for them to finish… As I looked around at the citizens walking on the street. I noticed a girl standing around a corner watching me. When I did, she hid herself…

What’s up with that?

As I waited and waited, they were finally finished with their flirting as I stood there and watched the guards with the same outfit as the old man. A heavy armor sewn together with a bear pelt and the tabard of the Winter’s Hold.

“Kind sir, can you show me the direction to a armor shop?”

“Uh, yeah. If you look over there you can see a wall right?”

I nodded.

“Well take the left path at front of the wall and walk a bit, where you will probably notice the armor shop. It is hard to miss, there is armor displayed everywhere” He said.

“Thank you” I bowed and went my way.

But suddenly he grabbed my shoulder, “Wait!”.

Huh? “What’s wrong?”

“Why do you have so much blood on you?”

Looking on my leather shirt, I noticed that I had forgotten to wipe out the blood left by the wanted criminals… Should I lie or not? Looking at the high leveled soldier questioning me, I decided that I couldn’t.

“Well, I killed a few criminals before”

“Oh?! Really….”

What do you mean OH! I don’t have the red mark do I? “Yeah, I annihilated them”

“A level 1 adventurer can retaliate against criminals? Aren’t they usually ganging up on people?”

I flinched. Crap how could I forget that...

Uh, “Well… I took them by surprise… I guess”

“Young man, you are very suspicious…” He said and the other two guards started to surround me with their long polearms unsheathed near my neck.

“Oi, calm down… I have done nothing wrong” I tried to retaliate, shivering.

“Yeah, it’s true!” Someone I didn’t notice said next to our group.

Gazing at the person who I hoped really is a cute girl, she stood there and raised three wanted posters with the faces of those I killed and a description of their appearance.

WIth her dazzling blue eyes and fluttering blond hair she said “His clothings fit perfectly with the appearance told by my client of my targets”

As she did, she waved the posters at front of the faces of the confused guards.

“This serves as a proof, right?”

“Yes, sorry adventurer” He said, face burning and bowed together with the guards.

Heh, Good girl or boy… “It’s okay, misunderstandings happens. Just remember it for the next time”

“Well I should go then” I said but once again got stopped by someone gripping my shoulder tightly.

“WAIT!” The petite girl tried to grab my shoulder but had a hard time because of my strength.

Huh…. “What now?”

“You stole my targets!” she pouted…

What?! So what, there is no such rules… “No rules”

“... At least treat me to dinner!”

“Eh, why?”

“What? You question your savior?”

… “Fine…” I said as I looked at the girl who hinted to be a rogue based class with her daggers behind her back.

…

“Munch, munch, munch!” The cute blue eyed blonde girl, ate the food hastily as she nearly coughed it out.

I could hear a beautiful song, as the footsteps around me jumped around with the stench of the cold beer flew around in this warm and happy bar.

Yepp, here I am sitting on a chair, watching the girl who I believe to be a girl with my chin resting on my hands. Hoping that my awareness skill increased in level.

“So, I can guess that you are out of money…” I said as I picked up a wooden beer cup.

“Munch, munch, munch!”

“…”

“I’ll take that as a yes”

Sniff… Ah… The beer at front of me smelled so good… The place where I can realistically feel the aroma and drink without wasting my real money and ruining my body in the real world.

Taking a sip a chill ran down my… In trance, I shook my head to get me back to reality.

“Well, what’s your name?”

She raised her head up from her bowl of food and said “Charlotte”

Looking at the cute toon, it filled me with guilt of happiness… “Well, you can have this at least so that you can stop bothering me” I said and took out a gold coin from my pouch or rather inventory.

“Huh, really?”

Heh…”Yeah! If you tell me if you have had your month...”

“...”

“Private”

Kek… “Huh, I didn’t know that the bonus experience boost for a month for beginners was a vital information to be private” Of course, those that didn’t restart like me.

She flinched… Bingo, a real girl! Well, actually the boys played the girl toons of cat characters a lot more… Fluffy, tail fetiches…

I stood up from my chair and said “Anyways, thanks for saving me. I’m taking my leave”

“Huh, wait!”

“What’s wrong?”

“At… At least add me to friend list” She said while clicking on her window.

Heh…

“Well, lets hope that we meet again someday in the further” I said and threw another gold coin to her.

“Cya!” She said happily and sighed as I left the bar.

…

The bright sun still shone brightly from behind the white clouds as I stepped inside the armory shop blinded.

“Oh, welcome!” A armorsmith said.

“Hi! Just looking around for a second”

“Please do!”

As I walked around the shop filled with armours for beginners, there was one that caught my mind as it was displayed at an all mighty pillar. A high leveled heavy chestpiece with the barbarian loko. The pauldrons was formed like a bear and had a hybrid hoodie bear pelt stuck to the back like a cape. The front chestpiece sticked out a bit decorated with markings of bears also...

The vision of my mother in the kitchen as I waited for food filled my mind.

“You look more like a barbarian”...

“You look more like a barbarian”...

“You look more like a barbarian”...

“You look more like a barbarian”...

I shook my head heavily…

“I could hear you from miles away”...

“I could hear you from miles away”...

“I could hear you from miles away”...

I shook my head again.

“Big Chicken”...

“Big Chicken”...

“Big Chicken”...

URGH! I created a earthquake as I stomped and the armorsmith got confused.

What’s wrong with a rogue! Goddamit mother…

I glared at the owner who flinched and asked “Hey, how much do this armor cost?”

“1 Gold and 38 Silver, you can try it out first if you want”

“Ah, thanks and where is the rest of the set?”

“Ah, I’ll take them out in a second, take your time with the chestpiece as you wait”

I walked up to the counter and inspected the rest of the gear.

“Oh, by the way, there is no gauntlets and helmet to this set. Don’t ask me why either”

“Uh, right…”
