Hunter's Bizarre Part 1

Trying to enter I see the door was stuck, the store was most definitely open it's just the door was being stubborn. I use some strength and the door flies open almost making me fall over. I quickly regain my composer and enter into the store realizing this place is actually someone's home. It was filled with books on both sides they were piled up to the ceiling a lot of the books were lined with dust making the place feel even more stuffy.

The wooden floorboards creaked with every step I took. Light from the other room illuminated the hallway, proceeding forward I caught a whiff of something that smells like steak.

It honestly made me feel hungry for the past 2 weeks I hadn't had the best meal. Most of it coming from trash or something people leftover or forgotten while eating a meal at some restaurant that had tables outside.

The best meal I had managed to scrounge up was from that Bakery today. The trash bag is still full as it hangs on the side of my waist looped around my belt.

As I going to the other room see the source of the smell it's a look like a Ram's leg but I could not be for sure since this is not my world and all the creatures here are strange.

Eating the leg was a man that appeared to be in his forties. He had no shirt on just a vest not hiding any of the scars on his body. There were a lot of scars on them I'll look like they came from something different some big some small some look like burn marks others from gunfire.

He had a full head of long wild hair making it look like he had his bed take care of his hair instead of a barber. His dark brown eyes were darting between a small portable TV on the counter and an unrolled scroll in front of him.

He looks too focused on what he was doing to even know I was here.

"What do you want?" without even looking at me he asked.

A little flustered at first by the surprise question I stuttered a bit before saying "Yes young man I'm just curious about the prices on magical books for beginners".

The wild looking muscular man still didn't even look at Desmond's Direction as he continued the conversation "getting them for your kid are you, the introduction into magic book set is 100 drachma or 1 gold mine".

"There appears to be some confusion the magical books aren't for some kid there for me I'm going to train to become a magus".

Hearing what the old man said the rugged man looked over at him " you're kidding right".

Desmond not knowing why the Bookseller would say that simply spoke the truth about how he feels "Listen up young man I would never kid around about magic it is the love of my life why would I not pursue it".

"Well for starters you don't have much magic inside your body just by how old you appear I can tell your talent in magic is shit. Even someone with the most mediocre talent in magic can absorb the element energy in the air passively but, your talent looks to be even worse than that which is why you look so old". Without holding anything back he listed problems Desmond didn't even know he had.

"Young man regardless of what problems I will face It will not deter me from pursuing Magic". Desmond stood his ground on the subject straightening his back and puffing his chest out a bit in response.

"Stop calling me young man I'm at least 3 to 4 times older than you I can smell you're only about like what 60 or 70 years old". While pointing at Desmond he had a clear look of annoyance on his face.

Desmond was puzzled by what the clerk just said: "What do you mean by you can smell how old I am?".

The clerk cracked a huge grin obviously going to get a kick from what's about to happen next. "Oh, what I mean Is this" with great speed the clerks face contracts and expands the left half stayed normal while the right grew thick black fur as black as the night that looked like it was getting blown by the wind.

He had a massive jaw on the right side of him that showed off his glistening teeth. His eye grew bigger and turned yellow, the whiskers on his face twitched as he snarked at me barring his fangs.

I stumble back terrified crashing into a pile of books behind me causing me to fall to the ground with some books following. This was my first time seeing something like this that was not on TV plus what I was seeing was real.

"So still want to call me young man, boy?" he let out a weird sounding laugh while his face was transformed.

I was still on the ground shocked by what I saw stammering every word I said "werewolf your an actual werewolf"

He was still laughing his ass off when suddenly his big wolf ear picked up making him stop laughing "damn it".
