“Hey guys, I have an idea… let’s look for civilization…” I said, to my companions Farengar and Mille.

We were just lying on the grass without a care in the world, the silence was terrifying.

“What do you mean, civilization? Why would people live here?” Millie asked me, confused.

“Well… there’s a pretty good source of fresh water, animals and fertile land… where else would those barrels we find occasionally on our travels come from?” I asked.

“I… holy shit, people live here! That means I don’t have to live in a cave, sleeping on a grass bed! Let’s look now!” Millie demanded.

“My lord… it would help to have some… actual walls and protection from the trolls…” Farengar said.

“Right then, let’s go! To find civilization!” I said as we rode Roger around the island… until I finally noticed something.

“...This isn’t an island… it’s at the very least a continent!” I shouted.

“So… you’re saying that there’s an even higher chance of people, warm food and beds… actual beds!?” Millie asked.

“Well, yeah!” I said as we kept on riding around the continent.

Until we found a road.

“A road… this must mean that civilization is nearby!” Farengar said, happily.

“Let’s follow the yellow brick road!” I said enthusiastically.

“But… it’s made of dirt…” Millie said.

“I… are you fucking serious!? You’ve never seen the wizard of oz?... Kids these days” I sighed.

“Hahaha! Nah, I’m kidding… it was one of my favorite movies when I was younger” Millie said.

“Good… I began to think that all of humanity was doomed… haha” I laughed.

We rode for around an hour until we came across quite a peculiar scene.

A merchants carriage in the midst of being attacked by bandits!

“Just give up ye fucking cunts!” One of the bandits shouted in anger.

“Guards! Kill them all!” The merchant shouted out of fear, as she aimed her crossbow at one of the bandits and took the shot.

“Jerry!” One of the female bandits shouted as she cradled the man's corpse.

“You murdered him!” One of the men shouted in shock.

“You were going to kill us! So why can’t we kill you?” The merchant replied as she reloaded her crossbow and aimed at the woman cradling the corpse and shot her right between the eyes.

“Y-you monster!” The bandit shouted.

“Hahaha! Do you seriously want to call ME a fucking monster? You bandits rape any woman you take! Even if she’s a child! And you call ME a monster!? Die you idiotic scum!” She shouted back, as she aimed at the man and… he ran behind a tree.

“Should we just… steer clear of this or fight alongside one of them?” I asked my companions.

“We should help the merchant, she obviously doesn’t have much ammo left…” Millie said.

“My lord, by my calculations, if we go around, the risk to your life is cut from a 7/10 chance of death to a 3/10 chance of death” Farengar said.

“Hooowl” Roger howled… alerting both parties to our existence and position.

“Damnit, Roger! Now we have to help! Flames!” I shouted as I shot a ball of flame to one of the bandits, severely burning them.

“Good, we’re on the merchant's side… Die!” Millie said as she gunned several of the bandits down with her desert eagles.

“My lord! Look out!” Farengar shouted as he sliced the throat of one of the bandits who managed to sneak up behind me.

“Thanks, Farengar! Conjure Familiar! Conjure Familiar!” I shouted as I conjured two wolves to help me out.

“Wha- Summoner!” One of the bandits shouted as she aimed her bow towards me, only to get attacked by Roger.

“Hoooowl!!!” Roger howled, causing the two other wolves to howl as well.

“Run!” One of the bandits shouted as he began to run away, only to be shot in the back of the head by Millie.

“Aim for the kid!” One of the bandits said with a lecherous stare, which instantly made me want him dead.

“Frostbite!” I froze his legs.

“Die!” Millie shouted as she shot him in the chest multiple times.

“William!” One of the other bandits shouted as he began to run away… only to run straight into Farengar… well more like Farengar’s sword.

Roger and the other wolves charged at the remaining bandits and… decimated them.

“Well, that’s done…” I said as I noticed several windows in front of my eyes.

EXP GAINED: Destruction skill: 5

EXP GAINED: Conjuration skill: 25 (Apprentice spells in Conjuration have been unlocked)

“So… I can get some apprentice spells now, how about you Millie?” I asked.

“I gained two levels…” Millie said.

“I also leveled up, what about you Farengar?” I asked.

“Three levels” Farengar said.

“Okay, so… loot?” I asked.

“Yup!” Millie replied.

“Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!” “Loot!”

We looted the corpses of our enemies, I got a bunch of food and a few weapons. Daggers, swords, axes, a pickaxe, several spears and a bow and ten arrows.

“Millie, what’d you get?” I turned to Millie… to see her holding various guns. Pistols, SMG’s, Assault rifles, Shotguns and a Rocket Launcher!

“How-Why… What the fuck!?” I asked.

“This is what I got from my loot… looks like you only got food and some weapons… teehee~ I win!” Millie said with a smile on her face.

“Um… what the hell was that?!” A voice not too far away asked.

Right! The merchant!
