《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.

Magitech Awakenings
In this world of Terrapia, myth states that Dragons are caretakers of the chaos wheel, a band of energy that encircles the world, penetrating through the very fabric of the dimension. They tame and convert it, not only to fuel their primal magic, but also to gentler forms that man and beast alike can tap. But now they have faded away, being sighted less and less the past couple millennia. With magic weakening, science has taken root and in many cases merged in a symbiosis with magic. Guppy Bright, a 17 year old young woman, is a technomancer apprentice living in the bustling city of Nolusburg trying to make ends meet. Apprenticed to the enigmatic and somewhat crazy Technomancer Friedrich BrassTuner, she participates in an experiment meant to tap a new rich source of energy. However something goes horribly wrong and a rip in the very fabric of reality opens in the workshop, sucking in her mentor and ejecting a dying white dragon. The dragon, after examining her, takes a gamble and entwines their souls, an act that causes the dragon, Barthurthalomalew Dresnarian Kratomanger Harrowhew Objuslorow, the 5th, aka Batty, to regress into a baby dragon, sealing much of his powers and memories in the process. This act also has profound effects on Guppy, her own magic is now crazily changed in ways no one, least of all her, understands. Guppy is suddenly plunged into a world of mystery, intrigue and politics, where everyone either wants to control, or eliminate her. Armed with little but her courage and unpredictable newfound magic how will she survive and protect herself and those she loves when everyone from techno radicals, magic purists, politicians and guttersnipes are out to get her. And those may be the least of her problems if Batty's fragmented memories are any indicator.
