《Life as a solo gamer》Chapter 14 - Some clothes
Advertisement
Before going I talk back to the employee.
"Umm, I would like another quest, can you show me the list? Or whatever it is? Please?"
"*Sigh*, you know, most adventurers get some rest after a quest. it's almost dark outside."
"Well, I only picked up some her-"
"'152' Jermeth herbs."
"Yes, I know that. I'm not tryna do the quest right away, I'm gonna do that tomorrow."
"Why not ask for one tomorrow?"
"Because..." Is that any of YOUR business? Jesus with your 20 questions, just answer me, you unprofessional fuck. "...when I wake up, I can go do the quest right away instead of coming back here. Now can I have my QUEST please?"
The girl lazily points towards my right.
"The quest board for 'Rank E Adventurers' is over there..."
I walk towards the quest board without responding to her. 'She should give me some respect.'
"Herbs, herbs, herbs, is there anything else but herbs?... Ok let's see here 'Kill 30 goblins South-East of Nacrama, bring 30 ears as proof, reward '10 silver coins'"
Nacrama, huh? that's this city's name, isn't it? The reward isn't that bad... I mean another reward... for only me, is I get XP, 1 goblin is 50 XP so 30 goblins is 1500 XP, right now I need 500 XP for a Lvl. But next level up is probably gonna be around 800 XP so... I'll only level up 2 times after this quest.
Now that I've realized, I think I'm the only one here who can 'Lvl up' here, actually no, scratch that, I think other people can level up as well, BUT, they aren't aware of it. Cause they don't have 'status'. Well, I'm sure people have 'Appraisal' but I don't think appraisal shows stuff like Level's even if the appraisal is a high level. Well, we will know in the future.

Got off topic there. "Let's grab this quest." I grab the piece of paper from the quest board. And walk towards the bitch employee to hand it over to her.
"Here you go."
"Give me your guild card."
Wow, 0 respect. At least be polite... Is it because I'm a kid? Is it because she's mad about earlier? Haha, watch later when I'm a high-rank adventurer will you continue acting like that?
I hand over my guild card. 'I wish I can throw it in her face'.
"There's always adventurer's like you, biting off more than you can chew, Especially a kid like you? pfft, Here's your card."
"Thanks, bitch."
"Excuse me?"
I walk out of the guild, this time I hear no loud screaming behind me. In fact, I hear nothing at all.
"Ah, I lost my temper. I shouldn't have done that. Well I mean I thought she would say something like 'Be careful', 'it's dangerous!' or 'It's Risky! You should come back when your higher rank!'" They should just hire monkeys instead.
Anyways... I'm gonna go on a buying spree! Mmmm, let's see here... Ahhh, yes, some clothes. You know what, not only am I getting clothes. I'm getting armor, a good pair of shoes and a new sword. 'This sword is probably contaminated I don't want this shit'. Well, jokes aside I don't want this sword, cause every time I look at it, it reminds me of that ugly ass face. And I can get a better one either way cause I got 5 gold coins.
"Let's start with clothes." I walk back to the same clothes store I was at yesterday.
"Hello miss, It's good to see you here again!" The employee greets a customer.
"Why hello there. Don't mind me, I'm just browsing to see if anything is to my liking."

"Please Take your time."
I walk to the employee.
"Hi there!"
The employee glances at me then sais.
"The crappy clothes are in the corner over there. Don't worry they are all cheap."
This fucking... I swear are all employee's in this city so rude? Just because I look poor?
"No no no, please point me where there are the most expensive clothes? especially my size. Oh! And can it be adventurer clothes? You know like clothes for combat and such."
"Sorry, but do you have enough coins?"
I show him a single gold coin.
"Hahahaha, I'm sorry for being impolite please follow me."
That's right, you show some coins and they do a 180-degree change.
Uhmm ok? I mean I followed this guy but I didn't really have to, we only walked for a couple of seconds to the adventurer clothes section. Mmmm He's probably tryna be nice. whatever.
"Thanks,"
"No problem, if there is anything you need please call me ove-"
"No, I need you right now, please give me the most expensive adventure combat clothes whatever its called, for my size too please."
"Ah, yes please wait a moment.... How about this? it cost 15 gold coins, its fire resistant and-"
"No no, I mean something easy to wear. For combat just some easy to wear combat clothes please."
"That's it? Please wait a moment.... This right here, black long sleeve shirt. It's easy to wash off blood and it's a little tight. It cost 1 silver coin. There really isn't 'Adventurer's clothes' Adventurers just wear normal clothes preferably clothes easy to move around in. Such as this."
"Ok, I would like that and some pants."
"Here is the pants, its also black, easy to wash off blood and tight. Cost 1 silver coin."
"Do you have the same pair as these but not tight?"
"Yes we do would you like those?"
"Yes please" Wouldn't I look weird if my pants were that tight? Unless it's some skinny jeans.
"The total price is 3 silver coins."
"3? Isn't it 2? I mean you said the price of the pants were 1 silver coin."
"The price of the tight ones are 1 silver coins while these ones are 2 silver coins."
"I wonder why?"
"The tight ones are good in combat but barely anyone buys them."
Well, there you have it. "Anyways, here's 3 silver coins. Goodbye"
"Thank you very much! Have a nice day."
I wear the clothes immediately and leave the old ones on the ground. "Ah.... it's all black, I look like I'm gonna rob a place." Next, I need some shoes... And some socks, I am still bare foot after all.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.

BREATHE
She was floating around under water. Suffocating and slowly dying, the blue of the water causing her to not see anything. Tears covered her eyes, leaking out and flowing down her face like a stream. Suddenly she can see a bright light, and a hand was reached out towards her. She slowly reached up taking his hand. He pulled her out into the light. Her darkskin glowing and shining. With one more pull she was out the water, sensing everything around her. Finally seeing everything around her. She can finally BREATHE.
