Day 2 continued
It is almost sunset now and we prepare for camp. My feet are hella sore and are aching. After dinner we draw straws to see who takes the first watch.
I got the first watch...
'sigh... my life sucks ass'
After my shift is over I quickly fall asleep.
Day 3
We walk in silence today as I have gained all of the information that Jack could tell me. Nothing interesting happens today and feet are killing me.
Day 4
Today I saw a rabbit all alone. I throw my spear as hard as I can.. I miss...
Everyone laughs at me but luckily Jack was able to kill it with his spear. So that night during the campfire we had a little bit of rabbit meat.
Day 5
It is about 10:00 AM and we reach the city. I was getting worried that we were lost and would never make it because we ran out of food and water so I was starving.
At the city gates the guards noticed us and sent us to the training grounds for the army which is located in the west quarter of the city. We are escorted there and I refill my waterskin at a well nearby. We wait in line to check in that the slaves of Jabba arrived. I see that there are plenty of other children ranging from 5 to 13 with collars on their neck as well. This country must be getting it's ass whuped if they have to resort to using children in battle i thought.
At around what I believe is about lunch time after we sign in a man with a magnificent Mustache comes in. He is HUGE. About 6 foot 7 inches and is wearing shiny red armor and is followed by armed guards.

"ATTENTION!"'Mustache
"Alright you worthless pieces of shit. I am your commander Sir Mcluvin the 3rd. You will all train here in the barracks for a week and then we shall march to battle for the glory of his Majesty the king."- McLuvin
"We begin your training tomorrow. You will be assigned a station depending on what weapon you have and you will learn teamwork and how to play well with others. The king his Majesty declared that if a slave shows much courage and honor in battle he shall give him freedom. DISMISSED!"-McLuvin
'That was interesting. If i am able to prove myself useful in this war I can be a free man.' -Me
I head over to where all of the other slaves with the spears are going and find my commander.
His name is Tamerius Jormandus and he was going to lead the spearmen into battle. We were given the day off and so I decided to explore the city.
The city was huge. Not as large as New Y*rk or Los Ang*les but still pretty impressive. There were not many people roaming around.
'The war must have taken a toll on the people'
I walk around and find myself in front of a temple. A white robed man who looks to be in his 60's which i assume is a priest comes up to me and asks....
"Would you like to come and donate to our temple? The gods will surely give you their blessings."-Priest
I decide to give him a copper coin from the slime that I killed.
"Thank you for your patronage. The gods will surely remember your kindness" -Priest
"Your welcome but I have a few questions about this town could you answer them for me?" -Me
"Why of course young man what can I answer for you?"-Priest

"Obviously I am not from around here. So where do you think I can sell this?"-Me
I show him the green slime ball that i got from the dead slime.
"Oh you can just go to the alchemist who lives a few blocks in that direction." -Priest
"Thank you. I also have another question if you don't mind. I am curious about the gods of this world you see. I'm not very informed about them." -Me
It looks like the priest just noticed the collars on my neck and he looks sad.
"Of course my pitiful child." -Priest
"What would you like to know?"-Priest
"Everything."-Me
"... Hohoh. Well that is a very broad subject indeed."- Priest
"Hmm... I guess I should start with...."-Priest

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
