《Travel Through The Lands》Chapter 15. First Equipment
Advertisement
Walking inside his room, Lief first noticed the size of the room it was really quite small, barely fitting a bed and a small bathroom.
"Although it's small, at least I'm not staying outside... It's not like I could afford anything better I only have 80 silver left, I should have brought more coins." Lief mumbled to himself as he lay on his bed to sleep.
[Would you like to set an alarm?]
Before Lief closed his eyes he had another plain piece of text pop up in front of him, glancing at it for a moment he tapped yes and almost immediately after fell asleep.
---
[System Alarm Commencing.]
*Zzst*
Lief stumbled out of bed in a hurry, grabbed his knife and flailed it around for several seconds before he realised there was nothing there.
"Uh, What?" He was sure he was just attacked, his whole body had a shock!
[Alarm completed, good morning Lief]
Plain white text appeared once again in Liefs eyesight.
"Wait, so it was this thing?! OH! So does alarm mean wake up, you could have done it gentler..." Lief complained towards the text.
[Alarm changed to light electric shock]
Mumbling in aggravation Lief decided that he would probably not use the "alarm" function again.
Lief decided to make his bed before he left, however, as he approached his bed he saw that there was a charcoal like human silhouette dug into it.
"It seems that for now ill have to buy leather clothing, hopefully, I will be able to find an alternative, though. I may freeze without winter clothes..."
After doing his daily stretches he wore his shredded trousers and boots before sprinting as fast as he possibly could towards the clothing store.
It was about 5:55, so there were no people outside yet.

They were probably setting up the store or still sleeping.
Lief reached the entrance to the clothing store just as its front door opened,
[Alice]
(Level 1)
(Shopkeeper Level 5)
Seeing her name and level Lief came to the understanding that not everyone selected classes nor did everyone focus on their main levels. It's understandable, how many shopkeepers would risk their lives for strength?
'But wouldn't Charisma help her sell to people? The [I] on Charisma told me it increases several things but one of them was your interaction with other people...'
"Ehh? Pervert?" a young woman asked as she saw Lief standing there almost nude.
"What? No, don't be silly I need to buy leather clothes, fast!" Lief tried to rush the woman into opening the doors.
"Oh... Um, please come in ill go and fetch some from the back..." The woman blushed as she leads Lief into the store before walking into the back.
Glancing around the store, Leif came to the conclusion that this was probably quite the popular store. The prices were reasonable and they seemed to sell every type of clothing you could want.
Whilst Lief was nosing around the store the young woman, Alice, called him over to the counter whilst holding a box.
"Heres your...Leather clothing, sir."
Opening the box to check Lief was flabberghasted!
"Wh..I told you I'm not a pervert..."
Lief reminded Alice seriously.
"Ye-"
"I WANT LEATHER ARMOR NOT A GIMP SUIT!" Lief cut Alice off and furiously yelled.
"I- I'm sorry sir I truly misunderstood, please accept my apology, I'll go retrieve some now please excuse me!" Alice completely flushed red as she ran into the back once again.
'Wow... Cities are not as I had imagined them being at all... The people here have such strange hobbies...'

Lief wouldn't have known what a "Gimp" was if there wasn't a picture on top of all of the leather depicting it in detail with a title and everything.
Alice cautiously walked back towards the counter, she was obviously afraid to approach incase Lief yelled again.
Lief looked at her as she approached, she was a small girl. She had brown eyes and she was brunette she looked similar to a lot of the girls from his home.
She placed a box on the counter and waited for Lief to check the contents.
[Leather Hood] (Light)
[Leather Amor] (Light)
[Leather Belt] (Light)
[Leather Leggings] (Light)
[Leather Boots] (Light)
[Leather Cape] (Light)
Seeing the bundle of clothing in front of him Lief couldn't help but smile.
"Take away the Cape and the boots and then tell me the price." Lief requested.
"Without the cape or the boots, the total is 80 silver. 20 silver per piece of armour."
"..." Lief helplessly handed over his last silver coins, to think that one piece of armour costs as much as two nights in an inn!
Lief wasted no time, he walked into the shops small but convenient Changing Rooms and put on his new armour, it all fit well!
[Leather Hood] (Light) Equipped, No bonuses.
[Leather Amor] (Light) Equipped, No bonuses.
[Leather Belt] (Light) Equipped, No bonuses.
[Leather Leggings] (Light) Equipped, No bonuses.
"No bonuses? Does that mean some armours give bonuses?" Lief asked himself as he pulled his hood down, waved goodbye to Alice and left the shop.
His current destination was the Adventurers Guild. It was located in the centre of the City, about a five-minute walk.
The streets were a lot more lively now. There were people of all different classes walking around, Lief even thought he was quite lucky he wasn't a higher level than everyone. Can you imagine being forced to see so many names and details? There must be a way to change that...
As Lief was walking he noticed that he was getting stares from quite a large amount of the passersby. His armour wasn't unusual, he had seen several other people wearing similar leather armour....
Then he started to overhear some of their chatter...
"A level 1 with no class?"
"He doesn't even have any titles..."
"Do you think he came from the mountains?"
It seemed that his level was normal but not having a class or titles made him strange? Hmm...
After enduring countless stares he had finally arrived at the Adventures Guild.
Surprisingly the Adventurers guild resembled a Castle, it was just a smaller version, its doors were made out of stone.
It was time to sign up.

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).
