Chapter Four - Welcome To Engrasia

>Ping, Welcome to the world of Engrasia.

A translucent blue panel appeared before me just like before, it then blinked twice and vanished.

"Engrasia Huh, I guess I am in another world. It wasn't just a dream." I looked around at my surroundings and noticed the goddess didn't transfer to a populated area.

I was surrounded by vegetation as far as my eyes could see.

"A meadow hmm interesting..."

I wonder did those three also end up in a similar situation as this. Normally heroes would appear before a cute princess in a castle.

Still, I need to find a city or town, am just level one ain't no way I'd be able to defend myself in a wilderness like this without a weapon.

I adverted my eyes to the left of my field of vision where a panel had been floating for a while. I ignored to scout my surroundings earlier.

[Name: Sai]

Species: Human

Age: 17

Level: 1 [00/100]

Mana: [10/10]

Skills:

Weapon mastery (*-one star)  - weapon mastery provides necessary knowledge on how to wield any weapon held. Affinity and combat knowledge are provided subconsciously.

Weapon handling increases.

Reducing weapon deterioration and enhancing weapon durability by 10%.

On the panel, I was provided with the information I forged before my descent into this world. The name I chose to use in this world is Sai. That way even if I encounter the hero's party I won't be recognized easily.

Also based on the things the goddess said about gaining skills by leveling up it would be strangled if I was seen as an anomaly if my actual status was seen by the folks of this world and who knows what might happen.

While assessing all this information I have almost walked a mile in a random direction from where I started. This might not be the best thing to do though.

"Ah let's use that." I smacked my left fist into the palm of my right hand after remembering one of the skills I took earlier.

"Let's see... detection." I felt a wave of energy leave my body, I could also feel it running throughout my surroundings and all my senses grew sharper. I could feel the grass sway in the wind and the insects crawling below.

-Beep

Huh, seems I picked something about seven meters away to my right. The presence held zero hostility but I could tell there were at least ten individuals.

The tall grass blocked my view, so even now I couldn't see what my detection had picked up earlier. I dashed through the grass in the direction of the individuals I picked up.

I killed my pace when I was close and stooped, I peered through the thick grass and was met with the sight of a dirt road.

"Sebas my butt hurts can't we quicken our pace to the city!" A complaining feminine voice broke the silence.

"Such terms are debasing for a lady." A man I spoke in response, my quest was that man would be Sebas.

"I don't care!" The female retorted.

I looked to the source of the conversation alone the dirt road and I was Mets with the sight of two carriages down by stallions surrounded by knights on horseback that seemed to be escorts for the two carriages. One of the knights looked in the direction of where I was hiding in the grass.

I pulled back my head which caused me to topple over on my butt. 

Isekai rule number one:

-For a person who doesn't want to stand it's best to avoid those who seem like royalty.

I waited a few minutes until I no longer heard the sound of horses, which meant I hadn't noticed the knight earlier. I slowly retreated from the grass onto the dirt road where I followed the direction where the carriage was heading.

Fifteen minutes until my walk and I could already see a massive cobblestone wall up ahead.

'A city huh another ten minutes and I'll be the at the gates.'

>ping:  monster slain, a farmer's plague Ruthless Grasshoppers has been defeated. Exp gained {5x10}

Huh, what just happened? I looked down and saw a small splatter of green blood below my shoe.

Interesting even killing grasshoppers gives exp.

Let's level up before I go to the city.

"Hmm... you may pass." I removed my hands from the crystal orb upon the city guard's words.

Upon getting to the city gates I was stopped by the guards who asked for me to touch an orb so they could see my status as I didn't have any form of identification.

Oh and in case you're wondering, yes I leveled up to level four by killing grasshoppers.

Oh and this city is called Ryuk, the royal capital of the kingdom of Erza. They also told me that there would be a massive crowd in the city square because the summoned heroes would be doing a parade by high noon and that's why the outskirts of the city are empty, everyone has already begun to gather in the city square.

"Good luck Sachi, Mizuki, and Satsuki. Seems y'all have become heroes huh."
