《Arden's place》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Contrary to what Arden had expected, it took 10 minutes to open an account in the Banks guild. Since Matt opened his own account, their joint money eventually split. After the two finished their work in the Banks guild, they agreed to meet at the Evening Inn and left.
Arden was holding the Banks guild card in his hand. He looked at the inscription 30 on the card. This was the total number of gold in his account. He had put some money in his purse as gold so that he could have it with him.
After taking a deep sigh, he started walking towards the building where the Workers guild was located. He was led to the leader's room without any trouble in arranging a meeting with the guild master, since he had arrived earlier.
Arden smiled when he saw the not-so-unfamiliar room in front of him. Everything in the room, without missing tools and equipment, was as it had come last time.
“Hello Mr Alex, how are you?” said arden
"Thanks, I'm fine, how are you Mr Arden?"
Alex continued without giving Arden a chance to speak.
“I hope you were successful in acquiring the land?”
“Yes, I came for that, can we talk about the plans and start construction as soon as possible?”
“Sure, sure, do you have anything specific in mind?”
Arden tried to picture his dream inn. In fact, before he came to this world, he had a dream of a bar where food was served, not an inn. But as they say, "When in Rome, act like Romans" or something like that. Thus, he had turned from an imaginary bar to an inn. But Arden wasn't complaining about it. He was actually a little excited for this change.
“Do you have paper and pen? I think I can explain better by drawing,” said arden.

Alex took a few pieces of paper from his drawer, placed them on the table, and handed them to Arden. There was an ink pen with an iron tip as a pen. Arthur began to draw his dream inn. When he was finished with his drawing, he handed the paper over to Alex.
When Alex saw the sketches in front of him, he was very impressed with the quality of the drawings. "Are you an artist, these are very beautiful drawings"
“I just scribble something in my spare time.” Arden was slightly embarrassed by the unexpected praise.
"What do you think? Is useful?"
“We need to finalize a few things? First of all, do you want the walls to be made of wood or stone?”
“How much is the price difference between wood and stone?”
“It won't affect much, the stone is about 50 silver more expensive. Being so close to the mountains kind of reduces the price of the stones used in construction. If it was a different city, it would play 4-5 gold coins.”
The north of Petra was surrounded by the Mountain Range and it was quite rocky. Therefore, the use of stone in buildings was quite common.
“Let it be a stone then,” Arden said.
“There is a place in the drawing that I cannot understand, what exactly are you going to use this room for?”
Arden leaned over the table and looked where Alex was pointing.
“Oh, you mean the bathhouse?”
“Is it a bath or what”
Arden hadn't taken a proper shower since arriving. His bathing job was nothing more than pouring hot water over his head.
“You can think of a bathhouse as a kind of bathroom, but as a room where customers can relax in shared hot water?”

"Hmm, we've never done anything like this before?" said Ale thoughtfully.
"It's okay, I can show the direction while it's being done," he said.
Their conversation lasted for half an hour. During this time, they talked about many details such as the size of the rooms, the direction of the inn, the location of the fireplace. As their speech came to an end, Mr.Alex calculated in his mind how much the project would cost.
“Mr. Arden all the project costs approximately 22 gold, if you deposit 11 gold as a deposit, we can get the permits immediately and start the construction”
“Permissions? From whom should it be taken?"
“Every building built needs a permit from the city council. But don't worry, we are dealing with this issue, and I think we can get permission directly since the building is outside the walls.”
“You accept checks, right?” said Arden with a smile
“Of course,” said Alex.
Arden wrote 11 gold coins on his checkbook from the banks guild and handed it to Alex. Alex stood up from his seat.
“As soon as we get the agreed permissions, we will start right away,” said alex
“What is the estimated deadline?” Arden said.
“I think we will finish it in about 2 weeks,” he said.
“Two weeks Isn't it a bit fast?”
Alex shrugged and laughed.
“Our standard time is so mr arden”
He seemed to be proud of the speed of the construction crew.
Arden left the workers' guild, agreeing to inspect the field tomorrow. He felt like he was one step closer to the inn of his dreams. With these thoughts, he began walking through the noisy streets of Petra. He had a smile on his face.

Matt hurriedly dropped a wooden glass on the table in his hand. He had an unpleasant expression on his face. The beer they drank was far from the taste they were used to.
“Where did you learn to make beer? Don't say youtube?”
Arden chuckled and took a sip of the beer.
“No, my father and uncle were making their own drinks as a hobby. My father used to take me with them to spend time together. I just grabbed a few things by standing next to them.”
“Can't wait for the inn to open, man? There is no problem, right?" said Matt
“No, all that's left is to arrange the furniture. I need to talk to Mr alex about that too?" said.
Matt looked a little serious at Arden.
He said, "My friend, if you need money, just tell me, in the end, I will use the inn as my home"
“No need for now, but thanks dude really,” Arden said.
Their conversation ended after another round of beer and they went to their rooms to sleep. They were supposed to attend their training in the Adventurer's guild tomorrow morning.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.

Poké Oneshots [Requests Temporarily Closed]
This is a small collection of oneshots that I either wrote for myself, or other people have requested. Requests are my top priority, so when you request, that comes immediately before anything that I happen to be writing for myself. Sometimes it may take me a while to publish the chapter you request, because the requests can back up a little bit.Requesting a scenario helps me form ideas a little faster, but if there's nothing in particular that you want to see, then I'll try my best to portray a good chapter from my viewpoint of the ship.You can absolutely request any ship that you want. There's a lot of oneshot collections out there who only do requests if it's a ship that they ship, but I know how hard it is to find stories for a ship that you like sometimes.Ships I'll probably inlude when writing for myself are:SpecialshippingNamelessshipping OldrivalshippingMangaquestshippingSoulsilvershippingFranticshippingAgencyshippingSequelshippingGreyskyshippingKalosshippingTwinleafshippingDualrivalshippingChessshippingFerriswheelshippingEntourageshippingCorruptedshippingBlacksoulshippingMalasadashippingLaverreshipping(You can request a ship and/or scenario)(I don't do ships from the anime, sorry (。ヘ°))
