Start Of My Journey

A boy drifts through dimensions and he has no power and has no home. He thinks he knows everything. But also, he is too ignorant and unknown about himself.

One day, he was drifting through the desert but his body mysteriously changed so that he doesn't need water and the sun doesn't heat him up. His eyecircle became dark like an abyss and body became see-through. He drifts looking here and there. Sees only sand. He doesn't even want to touch it. He knows everything and can ultimately determine it is sand. He drifts one kilometres, then two kilometres, like that he has already travelled thousands of kilometres through sand and dry and rough desert but he doesn't feel tired and has no hunger.

Eventually, he gets to the oasis where bandits and wanderers gather. It was a safe zone. No violence and no war. Its area looked green somewhere. He looks at a green herb in a vase and remembers how green it would look if it was at his home. He shakes his head and walks through the bustling crowd. It is a market too but he doesn't have money and he also doesn't know the language. He has been drifting all his life. He is 23 years old.

He sees a woman. Well it is a different world so what he saw differs from what he usually knows so he slowly walks towards the shop looking stall where bones, fruit and several knives were displayed. It looked like a shop directly out of the cemetery. But he can't do anything about it. He approached one of the knives. it is a dark-prussian-blue dagger actually. He lifts it, holding it in hands, and he looks at the shopkeeper.

Well, he was busy tending to the women. Boy's eye fell on the voluptuous breasts of that woman. From afar, she looked thin and noble but from near, she looked like a prostitute.

Thinking he might fall in some quarrels, he calls the shopkeeper. Oops, he speaks foreign language accidentally. Shopkeeper looks at him with furious eyes. Women who looked noble prostitute walked out and shopkeeper closed in too. He gestures waving his hands towards the stones hanging on the shelf and points out two fingers. But drifting through dimensions and having no need for food, he has accumulated nothing with him but memories and adventures he did unwantedly. He drops the dagger and moves away to the road. Shopkeeper feels awkward and remains quiet. Looking at the boy he can feel where he is headed to. It was a tall tower where people gamble but a tower even farther behind was where fighters fight with dimensional monsters.

No clothes upwards and very slim thin body and weak-looking face, the boy moves without knowledge where he's actually headed. Shopkeeper shakes his head thinking obviously such a boy won't be going to a monster fight and tends to his business. It is never a happy moment in life having to fight and even after winning you feel bad, looking at a meal barely satiating your hunger. People never love being weak but this can't be said about this boy.

Actually, he doesn't know what this tower is but he knows everything he has seen upto now and walks towards it as if the tower is calling him.

Soon, he reached the gate. Large muscles and patched eyes. He looked badass. He is fighting with another man, whose body is dark, slim and has pointed ears. This boy looks at them and only stares until they finish their fight and at last the muscleman wins.

Laughing and enjoying, he approaches this boy, who is standing silently. " Look such puny is here. " he scoffs at the boy.

Obviously he didn't know what this boy was. Boy tears off a paper from the board aside and shows it to the muscleman. Actually, it is free for the first time to fight monsters there. And a monster fighter is highly regarded.

The Muscleman with mouth wide open, bursts into laughter shortly afterwards. This boy doesn't understand what he is saying and why he laughed. " I won't protect you if you accidentally fall behind." muscleman said. He thought the boy asked to work as a porter but This boy with no facial expression stands quiet. Musclesman grabs his sword from the ground and reels towards the tower inside.

Boy looked at him and walked thinking, I didn't know who commissions the work has to carry the luggages.

Though a thin and slim body, the boy carried weight easily and moved right behind muscle-man. In the boy's eyes an augmented system notification appeared.

"DUNGEON STARTS AHEAD"

Ignoring that boy moves behind Musleman. Suddenly, Muscleman stops as a certain eerie air surrounds them. Lifting one hand in the air, the muscleman gestured to the boy to hide behind the large stone. They have not even arrived deep inside and it already got riskier. Normal Looking stone dungeon, with caves and mineral outposts, tower seems like another world.

Boy's facial expression remained the same and only gazed at the muscleman. Grabbing the sword and being alerted, muscleman readies himself for fight but suddenly, white-blue light surrounds him and every last eerie feeling from before disappears.

He gulped and waved his hand to the boy to come out but there was no response.

He looked behind and the boy disappeared from behind. He searched here and there but found no trace of that boy and when the muscleman suddenly looked at his back, there was a boy standing. He startles at sudden appearance and steps back.

"Are you trying to kill me by surprise? " Muscleman yells at him.

"No!" Boy spoke for the first time.

When he moved his hand to approach the boy, white-blue light from before appeared once again and the boy said, " Stay here! I will be back soon." And he disappears within the light.

Muscleman couldn't understand the situation and grasped his chest feeling a raised heartbeat. He frantically searches where the boy went.

A FEW MOMENTS AGO IN BOY'S EYES

While Muscleman was trying to understand what was happening and about the white-blue light.
