Getting Started

When Alex woke up, he wiped his eyes and sat up slowly.

"Thanks for everything you said last night, and for helping me sleep."

"I don't know what the sleep thing is about and I only said that because if you go insane you may not even follow my quests and that wouldn't be much fun." Lu responded with a nonchalant attitude.

"Oh, then I guess I had a dream about you that's weird... sorry." Alex responded but he thought it was weird how realistic the dream felt and he could still remember it better then he should be able to remember a dream.

"Any ways let's find out where we are." Alex said as he washed his face in his small sink and prepared for the day.

When Alex walked out of the door everyone looked at him but they quickly averted their gaze and looked down at what they were doing before.

Alex felt bad that he scared all these people, he also thought about how he had killed someone. He took a deep breath and walked down the stairs. He thanked the bartender for his services and walked out of the town.

He didn't really know how to get information. It also seemed like the incident from yesterday spread quickly around the town because everyone was looking away from him and hurriedly walking past him in fear.

Alex sighed and walked back towards the gate. When he arrived, the guards were even more polite then when he first came, he asked where the nearest large city was and the said it was straight West of where they currently were. As Alex walked away, he heard the guards let out a sigh of relieve but he ignored it and walked towards the general store hoping for food, mostly to feed Winnie.

As Alex was about to enter the store an Old man walked up to him and said "Excuse me Master Adventure I heard you ask about Rison City are you planning on going there?"

'So that's the name' Alex thought "Yes Elder may I ask why you are wondering?"

"Well good sir I heard that you are a very strong traveler and I am the town elder, we are about to start send a few carts to the city to gather and sell supplies. I was wondering if you would be willing to help us?"

"I am heading there anyways so I don't see why I can't go with you. How long does the journey usually last?" Alex said after pondering if there were any problems in saying yes.

"Oh, thank you sir, thank you. It usually takes us 3 weeks to get there. We will be sure to pay you and we can feed you on the way there too." The Elder said.

"Perfect! When do we leave?" Alex said with a big smile because he won't have to buy anything for Winnie anymore.

After talking for some time Alex learned the Elders name was Fulthir. He also noticed that when he learned that man was the Village Elder his god eyes displayed that instead of "Human" and when Alex learned his name it changed again to say "Fulthir".

Fulthir insisted on paying for Alex's room in the inn since he was staying for them. He also ate with Fulthir for the first time in this new world but it was just stew so Alex was disappointed in the taste but he ate it anyways. Alex also ordered a large leg of meat for Winnie who was delighted to eat cooked and seasoned food for the first time.

When Alex left the inn early the next day, he saw two carriages pulled by 2 horses each lined up with 5 people standing around.

"Good morning Young Master, let me introduce you to everyone that will be traveling with us." Fulthir said with a smile

"This is Ingrid, she manages the general good store." Fulthir motioned to a tall women with a thick build and Red Hair.

*Hmph*

Fulthir frowned at Ingrid for her reaction but he hurriedly continued the introductions "This is Tyr, he is Ingrid's brother and an avid hunter." Tyr was even taller than Ingrid with a scar on his cheek and a huge frame filled with burly arms. He had a bow attached to his back and it looked like he could use it well.

"I apologize for my sister's rudeness it's nice to meet you." Tyr said with a smile.

"This is the tanner of the town his name is Falmir." Falmir was the man that Alex he was also a large man but he didn't seem to have a relation to the siblings.

"We have actually meet, good to see you again" Falmir said with a nod

"The last man is the Towns head guard his name is Hemspear" Hemspear was not as tall as Tyr but his arms were just as wide. He carried a Long spear on his back along with a sword like everyone but Fulthir.

(A/N Holy Shit I suck at naming I am so sorry)

"I heard you killed the guy that was supposed to be protecting us so I guess we are safer at least." Hemspear said with a snort.

Alex froze he had been thinking it was weird that Fulthir was so desprate for protection when there was clearly another adventurer in the inn when he got there but now it made sense.

"Ha I probrably would have killed the bastard myself. Did you see the way he looked at Ingrid?" Tyr said with a scary grin. Alex believed him whole heartedly and that was for one reason.

Health: 100%

Level: 27 (Early Bronze Stage)

"Uh what does Bronze stage mea.. actually, I know what it is I read cultivation novels it's the first stage and its early on in it I don't need a sarcastic comment from you. More importantly why can't I read the guards level? Ingrid is level 16 but I don't even see the guards name pop up." Alex question while keeping his eyes on the guard in suspicion.

"Man, you ask a lot of questions what would you do without me? At such a low power level your god eyes can only put in a nearly nonexistent amount of divine energy without blinding you. That means you can't use much power to see through strong auras so basically the guard is 2 minor stages ahead of you. meaning at least "Full Bronze Stage" However he is not a Silver stage from what I can tell so he is a Full or Peak Stage Bronze cultivator." Lu explained the basics of his godly skill

"And what does all of that mean?" Alex said still slightly confused.

"The major stages are broken up into three minor stages, Early, Middle, Full, while a peak stage is someone just about to step into the next major stage. Compared to levels in the first 20 you are a mortal and not a cultivator. Every 20 levels is a major stage and for the first 7 levels (0-7) you are Early, the next 7 (8-14) you are a middle stage, the next 4(15-19 you are a full stage, the last level before the next 20 is called the 'peak' of the stage." Lu Explained the nuances of the systems levels compared to the outside world's terms.

"I thought you said you had no control over the system and you have never been here how do you know all of these things?" Alex was confused by Lu's knowledge on the matter.

"oh...Don't hurt your brain trying to think about it too hard. I am a god a lot of worlds are similar so I am just guessing." Lu waved off Alex's question as if the answer should be obvious.

"Well, this is going to be a fun trip should we get started." Alex said to the group Infront of him before they all started to head towards the city of Rison.
