《djinn's child》chapter 5: traveler and shopping
Advertisement
As the morning sun rose I awoke to the sound of water running. As the door opened I saw Doran walk in with a rag on his eyes. "good morning Doran" I said while putting on shoes. "Oh good morning little Caz" Doran said sitting on his bed. "are you ok why are you covering your eyes?" I said while fixing the bed I slept on. "ah yeah I got water in my eyes" Doran said letting down his front hair. "oh what's the problem with water in your eyes" I said after giving him a confusing look. "oh I have really sensitive eyes that why I have the covered most the time" Doran said moving the rag from his eyes.
After I cleaned up we started to head down to the desk. "hello sir good morning" said the girl at the front desk. "hello miss well be back later" Doran said giving a wave to the girl at the front desk. "alright sir I'll see you later" said the girl giving us a wave back. "so are we gonna go to the traveler building first?" I asked Doran wondering if we can go shopping. "yes we are after we'll take a look around" Doran said as we got to the traveler building.
As we were about to enter I looked up at the builder and saw twenty floors all made of brick. when we entered the building i saw the same elf from yesterday. "hello sir I have your traveler cards" the elf said waving at us. "hello miss thank you for getting it done for us" Doran said walking up to the elf. "don't worry it is my job" the elf said while opening a drawer and pulled out to gold cards that seemed to look more like a lighter.
"here are your traveler cards" the elf said putting the cards on the desk. "As new members I have to explain how the traveler system works" the elf said pulling out a piece of paper. "ah alright thank you miss" Doran said grabbing the cards. "ok there are 3 tiers you are third tier and your son is first tier" the elf said pointing at one of the cards. "what is the difference in tiers" I asked as Doran handed me my card. "First tier can enter towns as long as there are not many tier two monsters tier three can go anywhere but they can be called on to deal with tier 4 monsters" the elf said showing a small list of towns. "would there be a problem if we went to a tier two town can my son enter with me" Doran said as he put his card in his clothes. "there wont be a problem as long as you're with him" the elf said pulling out two papers. "that's great thank you for the info miss" Doran said patting my head.

"I need you to fill out this paper and we need to take a picture of you" the elf said as she handed us two papers. "alright thank you well finish this up quick" Doran said handing me a pen and one of the papers. I had to write down my name, age, what combat you specialize in, and what you turned in as proof of hunting a monster. All the answers were easy to answer. "I'm finished filling out the paper" I said while handing the elf the paper. "I'm finished as well miss" Doran said handing his paper to the elf. As the elf looked over the papers she said "all right all that's left is a photo of you". The elf handed us the papers and pulled out a camera "who wants to go first" she said holding up the camera. "I'll go first" I said with a smile she held up the camera "ready" the elf said with a smile.
A light flashed and a picture came out of the camera "there you go" she said handing me the photo. "thank you" I said putting the picture with the paper. "your turn sir" the elf said holding the camera towards Doran. "alright miss take it any time" Doran said smiling. the flash of light happened again and the photo came out. "here you go sir" said the elf passing the photo to Doran. "now what do we do" Doran said holding the photo and paper. "pull out your card and open it and burn the papers" the elf said showing how to open the lighter part of the card.
As i opened the lighter part of the traveler card I burned the paper and the photo. "now that should be it now if you put your phone on the card it will show the paper and photo" the elf said cleaning up her desk. "thank you for the help miss we'll see you tomorrow" Doran said while we walked out the door. As we left the traveler building I asked Doran "can we go to the shopping area". Doran looked at me and said "I said we would so lets go" as we walked to the shopping district.
As we walked down the streets I saw the buildings made of wood and stone. The hay roofs were knitted together. As we neared the shopping district the first shop I saw was a armor shop. "can we stop by that armor shop Doran" I asked Doran pointing to the shop. "yes you do need some armor so that your wounds wound happen as often" he said while walking to the shop. When we entered the shop I saw the walls covered with paintings of armor. In lanes there were sets of armor of varies types.

"hello shop owner" Doran said while looking for the shopkeeper. From a separate room came out a old man cover in burns. "how can I help you today" the man said walking out to shake Doran's hand. "hello sir glad you're in today" Doran said as he shook the mans hand. "what type of armor are you looking for" the man said waling to the counter. "I'm looking for some light armor for my son" Doran said patting my head. "hello sir can you help me find some good armor" I said smiling at him. "I think I have some armor in your style" the man said walking to the corner of the shop. We followed him and found some light blue armor that seemed to be thin and looked to only cover the chest, shoulders, wrists, and a pair of boots that seemed light.
"this is perfect for him" Doran said looking at the armor. "I'm glad you like the armor I made it to small and this but for his age it should be perfect" The burned man said moving it to the counter. "how much will it cost for this armor set" Doran asked as we reached the counter. "it will be pretty pricy sir" the man said going behind the desk. "it's fine name your price for the armor" Doran said moving his bag from his side to the front of his waist. "It will cost twelve gold coins sir" he said writing down the price. "alright here you go sir" Doran said handing the man a pure white coin and two gold coins.
"ah thank you sir would you like him have try the armor on there is a changing room" the man said pointing to a door. "I'll try it on give me a moment" I said as I walked in the room the man pointed to with the armor. as I put the chest plate on under my white cloak, I put the shoulder armor over the the cloak, and the wrist armor slid on, and put on the boots. As I walked out of the room after putting the blue scarf back on. "It doesn't look bad on you little Caz" Doran said while doing a light clap. "how dose it fit" the man asked with a look of hope. "it fits great and I look great in it" I said while stretching.
"that's great glad it fits" said the man looking more relaxed. "well we'll get out of here thanks for the armor" Doran said as we walked out of the store. "thank you come again" the man said as we stepped out side. We continued walking down the street and saw a small stall selling meat in a a stick. "lets stop by and get some of that meat on a stick" Doran said with a smile. "alright it sounds good to me" I said looking at Doran with a smile. We walked up to the stand and smelled the delicious food.
"how much for four sticks" Doran said looking at the food. "oh that will be 4 iron coins sir" a young boy with short hair said. "alright here can't wait to try it" Doran said handing him 5 iron coins. "here you go sir in joy your food" the boy said handing us four meat on a stick. "here you go little Caz dig in" Doran said handing me to sticks of meat. as we bit into the meat we both smiled while walking down the shopping district. We saw all the stands and shops that were amazing. As we ate the meat we headed back to the star shot in.
After we got to the inn we were still happy about the food. "hello sir welcome back" said the girl at the desk as we entered the inn. "hello miss we're back" Doran said with a wave and smile. "how was your time out" the girl said while moving over a few papers. "it was good thank you for asking we're gonna go back to the room we'll see you tomorrow" Doran said while walking towards the hall. "good night sir sleep well" the girl said with a smile. "to you as well" Doran said while walking to our room..
As we entered the room I sat at the desk while Doran put his hair back and sat on his bed. "did you have fun today little Caz" Doran said looking at me while turning on the bed side lamp. "I did we became travelers, got some great armor, and we got some great food" I said thinking of the fun I had today. "be ready I'm gonna have you hunt tomorrow all day so you're ready for when we leave" he said as i laid down on my bed to go to sleep. "so tomorrow will be our last day in this town" I said looking at the roof. "yes but we'll stop by a ton of towns and city's and maybe we'll find who I'm looking for" Doran said looking at the window. "well ill go to sleep good night Doran" I said looking at Doran with a smile. "good night little Caz sleep well" he said as he started humming a song. As i fell asleep to the sound of Doran humming with a smile on my face.

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Statless
Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
