1068 Words
Justin explored more of the system and was a bit versed on how to use it, the only problem he faced now was getting out of the isolated place and of course…getting some clothes! “hmm alright…menu…shop…let’s see if I’ll find me any wears in hear. He navigated his way to the shop section, since it was like a shop then he'd surely see some clothes there……right?. A loading bar appeared at the bottom of the screen *shop menu loading….45%...88%…100%* it’s loading was completed and the screen showed five buttons in different colours Clothes; Yellow Potions; purple Accessories; green Weapons/armors/shields; Red Skills; Blue Although the other options were mega tempting, he was currently focused on only getting clothes so he went directly for them without bothering to checkout the other options , the system directed him to another page showing pictures of various clothes and he clicked the cheapest one out of them Common cotton shirt & common cotton trousers; cost 1sp each….altogether 2sp “ah that’s nice” putting on clothes felt very refreshing to Justin “now how do I get out of this f*****g hell hole!” he was looking forward to repeating the experience he just had , who knows what other weird things were in this grasslands besides the sun was going down and it was getting dim…who would want to spend their night In a grass field with monsters wiring to prey on them...definitely not him!. He still had the swift speed boots on and his stamina hasn’t really hone down since he’d just drank a stamina replenishing potion so he was all ready to go! “whoo” he ran as fast as he could hoping to reach somewhere with signs of life “gotta outrun the night!” he sped through the grasslands leaving a trail of dust behind Few hours later “hey hey drop that you didn't pay for it!” “didn’t I give u 30 manbres a few minutes ago for this?” “liar! Thief!” “hey grumpy! Long time no see” conversations went on all around as the village of Wonpas bubbled and people argued while some dances with strange festival like clothes on and other just watched them dance and sing,. just a few distance after the village gates, a haggard looking boy crawled on the yellow sand while breathing heavily, he really looked like he had endured the blows of life and was on his last breath. Two guards were stationed at the entrance to the village and one of them noticed something“psst..bro lutalo, you see that weirdly moving thing that’s coming towards us?” one of them whispered to the other “huh?” the man called lutalo looked at the object very well but the night had reduced his vision “think I’ll take a look at it….gods willing it shouldn’t be the dreaded beast of night that the village's head been prophesying about” the village head was a well respected shaman that prophesied about the village and its future, the prophecies were never wrong and just a few days back the woman had said that the village would be attacked by “beasts of the night” and that the peoe should brace themselves for the destruction . The only reason the people were still out by this time of the night was because today was one of their festivals and they couldn’t avoid celebrating it just because of a mere prophecy although it was from the village head but still they couldn’t not celebrate their festivals because of it. Lutalo readied his spear and walked slowly towards the now barely moving creature, once he had gotten near enough he could now see the features better… it was a boy. “h…he..help me” *cough cough* the boy called out with a hoarse voice that showed he was clearly lacking water “Lebanon come over here come see this” lutalo called, the other guard at the gate responded and went to him curious at what his brother had found “a boy?” Lebanon was perplexed…what would a young man be doing all alone outside of the village by this time and he even looked to be in a terrible condition! “yes a boy…judging by his looks he'll be around 16, and he doesn’t seem to be a member of this village” lutalo picked him up prepared to carry him back into the village “hey you just said he isn’t oat of this village and you’re bringing him in? What if he’s a spy or something?” Lebanon was feeling a bit concerned, no one was to be trusted in these times “spy from where? We’re the strongest village around here and after us is flower city…. What would the city want with us that it would send a spy over here?” lutalo was adamant on bringing him in “ but still-“ “just cut it, we can interrogate him when he’s well enough…guard the gates let me take him to a doctor” although Lebanon was unconvinced, lutalo couldn’t care less and was only worried about the boy's life. Feeling himself being carried on someone's shoulder, Justin weekly opened his eyes and thought “f**k you system!!” with all the fancy features and design that the system had with all the wide varieties of things that he could buy in it, the system didn't have one essential thing…………..water!!! How could a whole system not have water to be bought?? It had the best of clothes, it had several potions….even weapons and bread….bread!! For f**k's sake it had bread but didn’t have water! As if that wasn’t enough, while he was running the system just suddenly popped up with a notification *swift speed boots item has broken* how the f**k does a shoe break in the first place?? He had to run run without assistance and finished his stamina potion all to no avail even the health and strength potion didn’t help , you might ask….why d idnt he just keep buying stamina Potions? Well……each stamina potion cost 40sp!. He had traveled over 10km running with no aid!! Also…why were they calling him a boy? He was a full grown man for f**k’s sake! An man well in his forties! Their fathers weren’t older than him!
