《Never Bring Sword Into a Gun Fight》A meeting with curious Bard
Advertisement
While still sitting inside this small little shed, a man with a flute in his back is approaching me.
I guess he's a bard?
[Hupla. Fuh.. finally found some resting place.. How long you've been waiting?] Bard
Who is this guy again? He's just sitting in front of me as he knows me.
[I.. I've been here a while... Who are you again?] Me
[Oh right, I'm Andreas, a bard. Nice to meet you!] Bard
Nope. Not a clue. I don't recall anyone with the name Andreas in my past life.
But he said nice to meet you right? So it's the first time we meet after all.
[Umm yeah, nice to meet you too. I'm Dean. And who are you again?] Me
[Huh? I'm Andreas, a bard.] Andreas
[I know, but you've been asking me did I've been waiting long. So I thought you're waiting for someone, soo..] me
[Huh? But you're going to Dasi village right?] Andreas
[Umm... Yeah?] Me
[What do you mean by 'Umm... Yeah?'?] Andreas
[Well... To be honest.. I've been isolated in a mountain with my master learning about magic... So this is my first day going outside actually..] Me
Crap! I've spent too much time trying to learn about my miracle and this world that I forget to prepare an alibi in case I met someone.
Please just believe the story!
[Are you for real?! Man, that's neat! From what forest did you come from?] Andreas
[I can't tell you that, unfortunately] Me
[Come on, that sucks. But you're like.. years learning magic right? It must have been great magic you get there. What kind of magic do you learn?] Andreas
Come on! Do you know how hard it is to make up a story?!

[Let's just say it's something that starts with a loud bang. But let's just skip that! Why don't we just go back about why you ask about me waiting here?] Me
[Hahaha. Okay okay. Well, the road from here to Dasi village has become sketchy lately. And it's a custom for us wanderers that when we need to travel via sketchy road, it's better to wait for a companion at the last intersection. That's basically why I ask that last question. Because I thought you're a mercenary that wants to go to Dasi village and just waiting here for a companion.] Andreas
[And what do you mean by sketchy? And can you explain about this Dasi village?] Me
[Hahaha. You sure are isolated all this time or are you just want to extract some free information from me?] Andreas
[No... no... I'm isolated since when I was born, I swear.] Me
Ping! Mind skill acquired: Lying Lv 1 (increase the creativity and structure of false story when you're lying)
What the hell is that skill?!!
[Hahaha.. oh well... You're an interesting guy so I'll tell you.] Andreas
So I'm in Kenari kingdom and Dasi is just a simple village on the edge of Kenari kingdom. It sits in a jungle so not many people visit this place. But for a bard, a place like this might have some story that they can sell in the town.
I better buy a Map in near future.
[About that sketchy part?] Me
[There's a story about people mysteriously missing when going in and out of the village. Specifically, all the missing people start disappearing when they pass this road.] Andreas
[Bandit?] Me
[I don't think so. If all the missing people are merchants, then that might be the case. But their target right now is just too random to be considered a bandit. I mean, why the hell does a bandit need to take out an old priest who's probably poorer than farmer after bad harvest] Andreas.
Well, to be honest, I literally have 0G in my pocket right now. So I'm poorer than a priest?!
Splash.. splash...
[HEY THERE! DO YOU WANT TO GO TO DASI??]

After years spent with British special forces, he is getting bored, so he is starting to look for something more interesting, something more fun. However, he gets a simple message - they need help at home. Although he has not seen his blood relatives for more than a generation, he returns to his native hills and almost dies… --- A story about werewolves and vampires. Release schedule will be random, but I will try to post at least 2 chapters a month, 2000 words per chapter on average. This is my first attempt at writing, and English is not my native language, so expect a mistake or two, or three. EDIT: the past few months of my life have been hectic and I could not write much. Nonetheless, I have the story already planned out, and will finish it sooner or later.
