I was still shocked with the sword that I got. I felt like I had heard of it somewhere...
"Let's keep moving, we should reach the town before nightfall. The mobs grow in numbers exponentially at night, in this area." Sarah warned me.
And so we once again continued our journey to the town. Come to think of it, she never told me about the town.
"Hey, tell me about the town we are going to."
"Let's see.. The town of beginnings, the town of learning, the starting point... are some of it's nickname. The name of the town is Arcadia. It is one of the five places where almost all beginners go to, since it has a low level of magic. Although people can train in the high zones as well, they need to be supervised. Thus, the newbies come here."
As we kept walking, the scenery slowly started changing from a deserted land to a green and tropical land with trees all around. I spotted many 'birds' and 'animals' though they were basically mobs too. I wanted to try fighting them, but Sarah insisted on reaching the town before night.
Slowly the trees parted to show an open area which was filled with lights and a lot of noise. Seems like the town was very flourishing. Sarah pointed out an inn and told me the coins i got from the goblins is enough to rent a room in the 'Protector's lounge' for one night, and that i should rest there.
"Well, thanks for your help Sarah. I will pay you for your kindness in some way for sure."
"It's not a big deal. Hey, would you like to meet my party members? How about tomorrow?"
"Umm.. sure, I will look forward to it! By the way, don't tell them about my odd behavior please." I look at her with a grin. "See you tomorrow Sarah!"
I enter the lounge and talk to the lady at the counter.
"Excuse me, can I get a room for one night, please?"
She told me it would be 4 iron coins for a night in the single room. And that she can give me a meal too. I thanked her and took the food to my room and ate it.
"Now it's time to assess the situation. It seems i don't remember almost anything from before waking up. I remember my name and basic language, along with having a latent talent 'Sword Mastery'. According to the system message I have the quirks Inventory, Map, User and Party Interface. Inventory is like a storage with a weight limit. The user interface must be the one which tells me details about stuff. I don't have a "Party" yet, so I can't use the Party Interface, I guess. Which leaves the last one. Open 'Map'.'
