《Arden's place》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Opening an inn was not a sudden thought in Arden's mind. He had this plan in mind even before he was teleported to this strange world against his will. But the circumstances he was in, especially the loss of his father at the age of 16, kept this a dream.
But the money they had taken from the bandits had brought back this longing that he had hidden in his heart.
“Thanks for the tea, Mr. alex”
Arden was sitting in the President's room to talk price with the head of the workers' guild. Although the room was not very small, the tools and equipment in the room made the room look smaller than it was. These tools could have been placed in a different location, but the Guild master seemed to deliberately want these tools to be in view.
“Haha, it doesn't matter, my cousin knows an elven trader, this tea is one of the latest from the elven lands”
Alex was a person in his mid-50s. Despite his age, his hair was thick and black except for a few strands. He had a very muscular build. It was obvious that he had worked in the construction business for many years.
“Mr. Arden, how can we help you as a workers guild?” he said.
“As a matter of fact, I am planning to build a building for the place I will buy from land sales, I wanted to get a price for it”
“Huh, outside the walls?”
"Where exactly is it? if it is too far, the costs may increase and what kind of building are you thinking of?
“Although I am not entirely sure, I plan it to be in the area by the lake. As for the building, I think it is a 2-storey 30-room inn, although I do not have any plans”

“Hmm, if we don't go overboard with the design it will be between 25-35 gold”
The price he heard made Arden think. If everything went according to plan, he could have the inn of his dreams with the money in hand. Arden stood up to leave, thinking it was rude to steal Alex's time as nothing was certain.
“Thanks for the tea Mr.Alex I'll stop by to talk in more detail when everything is finalized”
“You are always welcome Mr. Arden”
Arden left the Workers' guild and started walking towards the pool, where they had agreed to meet Matt.
As he approached the pool, he saw Matt sitting on the edge of the pool waiting for him.
“Hey matt, how did things go in the Adventurers guild”
Matt took a card from his pocket and held it up to Arden's face.
“I joined my friend, I am joining the training team 3 days later”
“Congratulations, food is on you”
"Of course, what did you do, are you still determined to open an inn"
“If all goes according to plan, we will be getting our new home very soon, my friend”
Ardem couldn't help his smile.
“Then you're on the drinks, by the way, can you do something to the beer quality when you open your inn, all drinks like dishwater,” said Matt.
"Let's go to the inn, my stomach is ringing," said Arden
Contrary to the time the two had arrived at the town square, they had arrived at the inn held by Mr.kurt in 15 minutes.
—-----
On the contrary, the 2-day waiting period passed rather quickly, especially when there was a huge city to explore in front of them.
Arden and matt primarily wanted more detailed information about that leveling system.
The reason they wanted know this lay in the class they won on the first day.

Once they achieved this class, the speeches of the bandits around them changed from strange sounds to meaningful sentences.
But the most interesting thing was that this did not seem like a situation that only happened to them. When they joined the caravan, they definitely understood that everyone in this world was included in this leveling system.
While they were in the caravan, they could not investigate this matter in detail, as there was a risk that others would find out where they came from. But there was a library in the city, and when they found a new source where they could get information without asking anyone, they made the library their home, the entrance fee of which was 1 copper.
“This is crazy”
“It's like we've fallen into a game,” Arden said.
“Yeah it's a poorly made game, I wish it was a game with a status window or something”
Matt's eyes lit up as he had an idea.
“Status!” Matt shouted suddenly.
Arden looked towards him, thinking that Matt had discovered something.
“What”
Matt looked around, obviously disappointed.
"At least I tried, man," he said, raising his hands.
“I think we have the same system as those who live here.”
“We can only level up while asleep, did you level up after the first day?” said arden
“No, maybe I need to finish some missions as an adventurer”
They heard footsteps coming towards them as the two continued to talk animatedly.
*tap tap
"Gentlemen, please lower your voice or I will have to take you out"
“Sorry Mrs. Delvi We were just leaving”
"That would be nice"
Realizing that they had angered the librarian, Arden hurriedly packed his things. They apologized again on their way out.
"What will we do now?" said Matt.
They were two blocks from the town square. And life was flowing around them at full speed.
Arden looked up at the position of the sun. The sun was signaling that it was past noon.
“Let's go to the auction room, we don't want to miss it, we don't have a watch to tell the time,” Arden said.
“It was pretty bad that our phones were running out of battery.”
They both had their phones on them when they got here, but when they were caught by the bandits, all they had was a trophy to the bandits. Fortunately Mr. Kurt had returned his belongings. Both of their phones were back in their hands undamaged.
“I don't think we'll be getting electricity anytime soon, man,” Arden said.
After a short journey by watching the surroundings, they arrived in front of the building where the auction would be held. Contrary to Arden's expectation, there was no crowd filling the front of the building. It was as if everything was in its normal process. Arden wondered if he had gotten the days mixed up. And he walked towards the building.

Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!
