《Interdimensional Traveler》
Prologue
" Hey, let''s take a break....." (Alex)
"............" (Lynn)
" It''s Lunch time Lynn, I''m hungry. "
" Aren''t you hungry? " (Alex)
" Of course honey, wait a sec I''m almost done. " (Lynn)
" Finee " (Alex)
" Heheee, Thank youuu " (Lynn)
Looking at the beauty in front of me, I can''t help but let out a sigh.
She has a long curvy blonde hair. Taking a glance at her face, he could see that there was so much dust on it.
But even with that, you still can tell that she''s natural beauty.
She has been with me since as long as I can remember, I usually don''t take note of people other than my parents,
as I was too focused on my studies and training, But she''s different, and I can see it in her eyes the moment we first met.
She thirsts for knowledge as much as I do.
* Child Alex POV *
The teacher is asking us one by one our names and what we wanted to become. Just thinking about it, I have already
I have already know what I wanted to be. An Archeologist, he hee there must be no one else who wanted to become one. I mean, it''s such a unique profession right, just like my parents, I will be the greatest archeologist ever.
" My name is Lynn Berret, and I wanted to be the greatest archeologist ever! " (Lynn)
I Immediately splurted the coffee I''ve drunk the moment she said that.
That was a joke, how and where do you think a 5-year-old kid would get a coffee.
I mean, it''s okay if you wanted to become one, but the greatest at that?? No way!!
" There''s no way you would become one, That''s my line! I''ll be the greatest archeologist ever. " (Alex)
" Who''re you? I''m the first one who spoke, so it''s me. " (Lynn)
" Why''re you deciding it like that! You stupid or something!!? " (Alex)
" You can both be one, and there''s no need to fight. " (Teacher)
" Nooo Teacher, How can the title be shared with someone as... as ugly as HER! "
Lynn''s eye turned moist, just from a glance I can see that she''s trying hard not to cry. Ohh great my mother would spank me for sure.
" Uuuuu, what to do, I''ve been tainted. " (Lynn)
" Where did you hear that!! " (Teacher)
" Alex, Go to the corner and think about what you have done. " (Teacher)
" Uuuu Fine. " (Alex)
I walked to the Corner as I said that.
My mom says that you can''t make a girl cry. And if I did no girl would love and cook for me anymore.
So did that means no one would cook for me anymore? I would be starving, and mom wouldn''t cook anything for me, Thinking like that, Alex eyes also become watery. Will mother forgive me if I apologize...??
Uuuu what should I do....
While thinking how to apologize, Lynn comes to my side with red eyes.
I mean... it''s not like what I said is the truth, look at that cute face, no one in their right mind would call you ugly.
Wait, what does that make me then?
" Alex.... " (Lynn)
" Wh-what... " (Alex)If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
" You''re crying because you just noticed that you hurt a cutie like me right? " (Lynn)
Lynn said while lowering her head, Blushing.
Is she stupid!?
She''s saying it with such an honest face.
" It''s okay I forgive you, But don''t ever be mean to me again okay? " (Lynn)
" Really?! Yes yes, I won''t. But then, who would be the best archeologist? " (Alex)
" That''s naturally me, but I''ll let you be my sidekick. " (Lynn)
Lynn said with a smug face.
Guh! My Hand! It''s trying to smack her face without my permission!
Well, I''d love to, but that''ll get me in trouble so no thanks.
" F-fine. " (Alex)
I said that while my hands is still twitching
At that time, I thought she would forget it sooner or later.
And oh boy, how wrong can I be.
* Current Alex POV *
Thinking how childish I am at that time makes me embarrassed.
I decided to wait for her a bit, and if even after that she''s not done yet, I would drag her out myself.
Thinking like that, I lean my back against the wall behind me, just to have the wall disappears and switched with a slide leading to no one knows where.
" LYNNNNN!! "
I tried to call for her before I got too far, but the wall already reappeared, and she didn''t seem to hear anything.
What the fuck is happening....
The slide is too steep for me to climb back, I would do that sooner if I could.
Like that, I just slide down into nothingness.
* Lynn POV *
Hmmm Interesting, The so-called great calamity, from the text we just found described how the world meets its end by the hand of a single person, they described him as a devil in human clothing, a demon that wouldn''t bat an eye when killing an innocent person.
Kingdoms and Empires perish at the hand of calamity level magic.
Magic?
" Even the mighty emperor of Barslarnd, who single-handedly kills a dragon, cannot stop the devil who invades our lands. " (Ancient text)
Hmmm, they sure love to exaggerate things out.
From the text, the era before the great calamity was the age where the strong tramples upon the weak, where the strong could bend the law at will.
That sounds barbaric, isn''t it? But not that different with our current era, a corrupt politician could go in an out of jail easily with money. The difference is, their era use fist and magic? When our era uses money and authority.
" Alright, I''m done Alex. "
" ................. "
" Alex.....? "
Looking where Alex was supposed to be, I found nothing but dust.
Is he that hungry?
I shouldn''t have made him wait that long...
I quickly gather my tools and leave the ruins.
Arriving at the camp, I still can''t see a sight of him.
" Alex? "
He''s not in the camp either...
Should I look for him? Yeah, I would feel bad if I didn''t.
But even after shouting his name for a while, I still can''t found him anywhere, where did he go??
Does someone kidnap him or something?
No way, he can easily beat ten people in a fight, there''s also that moment when a 7-foot tall guy with a disgustingly thick muscle decided to pick on me, he ends up in the hospital after Alex beat the crap out of him.
He also wouldn''t mess with me like this...
Will he just disappear like our parents did?
My eyes start to water just thinking how I wouldn''t be able to see him again.
* Alex POV *
After a while of sliding, I seem to have arrived at the bottom of the slide.
" Woahh "
Looking at my surroundings, I unconsciously mutter out.
It appears to be a storage room? Treasury?
These things must be thousands of years old
It was from the era before the great calamity, where all of the ancient civilization disappears in an abrupt manner.
Some say that there''s a great disaster happening all over the planet, some say it''s because of a massive spread of disease, some even say that they''re all kidnapped by aliens.
But none of them has been proven to be true.
In the room, there was all kind of weapons and armors, Fist Weapons, Daggers, Swords, Spears, Great Swords, Throwing Knives, Maces, Wands, Bows, Crossbows.
For armors, there are Heavy Armors, Light Armors, Leather Armors, Robes, Shields.
There''s also a bit of gold and jewels here and there.
It''s a magnificent view, I must admit.
While contemplating how to get out and carry these artifactsfrom here, he saw a metal box with carvings lying on the ground beside him.
" Pssst... "
" The box just talked? "
I must be hallucinating, but the sound was clearly coming from inside the box, and it was a young girl voice.
He opened the box and found a black ring with beautiful carvings around it.
" We finally met. "
" What!! "
I''m not hallucinating! The ring just talked!
" How could a ring talk!? Is this cursed or something? "
" Your mother is cursed! I''m the great ring of space and time!! With my power, You can stop time, Travel between dimensions! You name it! "
" Not to be rude buddy, but you sounds like some shady merchant! No people in their right mind would wear you!
I''m leaving! "
" NOOOOO WAIT!! Hear me out will ya? You''ll need me for sure!
The ring sounded really desperate, and I also would if I''m trapped in this place for thousands of years.
I''ll hear her out for a bit.
" Fine, I''ll give you five minutes. "
" Good, you must''ve known about the tragedy, the great calamity is what your people named it, the fact is, it was an abrupt change in mana density, in just a span of a few days, the mana became ten times denser! It would usually be a good thing for the inhabitant of this world, But! There''s this one cocky idiotic moron son of a bitch minor god that decided to massacre all of this world''s inhabitant. I think he wanted to steal this world''s mana for his own and kills all of its occupants hoping that the council wouldn''t notice. "
" Wait, you''re telling me that God does exist, then, what about this world''s God, how come he/she didn''t protect his own world? "
" Because you don''t have one Alex, a God was not told to oversee the worlds, they decided it for themselves whether they would live a happy live in some random planet, or they were to protect and manage a planet they were in.
And they didn''t protect a planet just because they wanted to, there are, in some rare cases, but the majority of them did so because they wanted and obliged to protect their descendants in that world. "
" Mhmm, interesting. But that didn''t tell me why I should wear you. "
" Because you will need me sooner or later. As you can see, the people of this world are weak, and they were not enhanced by mana. So naturally, they have a limit to their growth, but that doesn''t matter, what''s important is, I can feel the mana coming back. "
Sigh... that really sounds like a trouble
It''s basically when you gives a power to a being with intelligence, the first thing they would think of is how they would use their powers, to protect? To steal? For revenge maybe? There''s all kind of people with different motives and goals, with power in their hands, there will be people who eager to fight, people who didn''t want to fight, and people who were forced to fight.
Social order will collapse.
And there''s also the beasts, surely not only humans that would evolve.
Would they get really strong until it can endanger humanity''s existence?
Or would they once more become the subject of humanity''s needs?
All in all, chaos will spread throughout the land.
Chapter 01 New Power
" But, If you''re that strong, then how come you''re locked in this kind of place? " (Alex)
" They naturally don''t know about my powers, you''ll need a high space affinity to use me, and you can say that this is fate because not even the True God can come close to you in term of space affinity. " (The ring)
" ........ " (Alex)
" You''ll need me Alex, and I also need you, It''s a mutual relationship, you get me out of this damned place, and I''ll give you the power to travel between dimensions. "(The ring)
" Alright, I''ll trust you. So I''ll just need to wear you? "(Alex)
" Yes, and I''ll take care of the rest. "(The ring)
With that, I put the black ring on my right hand''s middle finger.
As soon as I did that, the ring starts glowing, and I can feel something pricked my finger.
My blood is being drawn into the ring, and I can see my blood at the gaps of the carvings all around the ring, it feels like I''m filling the ring with my blood. And after a while, the glowing finally stops.
" It''s done? "(Alex)
" Yes it is, to use my power, you just have to will it, and it would happen. "(The ring)
" Alright, how about these artifacts, it''ll be a waste to just left them here. "(Alex)
" Easy, imagine a box as big as this room, and then imagine the artifacts being sucked into the box, and then will it. "(The ring)
I did it as I was told to, a black hole appeared and sucked every single thing in this room.
" Woahh. Does that mean I can store an unlimited amount of things? "(Alex)
" No, You''re using my mana reserve now, you''ll have to use your own mana sooner or later. also, the space of your dimensional storage depends on your mana capacity and affinity to space magic, the higher your affinity, the less mana you would consume. "(The ring)
" Alright, time toget out of this place. "(Alex)
I Teleported to my previous place, the next moment, I was already standing at the place before I fallto the storage room.
" Everything is fueled by mana, the more bizarre thing you did, the more mana used, so don''t ask every little detail alright? "(The ring)
I was just about to ask about the mana cost when the ring said that, what a rude fellow.
This is really convenient though, and I can also sense everything around me. I tried to expand the radius of my sense, and it works, I can see the storage room and the camp from here, I can see Lynn not far from the camp, she''s looking for me with panic clearly in her eyes.
I instantly teleported behind her.
" Lynn. "(Alex)
She immediately turns around and looked at me with wide eyes.
" ALEX!! " (Lynn)
She leaped at me, and Ihold her in my embrace while chuckling.
" Where have you been! You don''t know how panicked I was when I couldn''t find you anywhere. " (Lynn)
She stared directly into my eyes and said that with a pout.
" I''ll tell you on the way alright? "(Alex)
Releasing her from my embrace, I decided to give her a piggyback and return to our camp.
I may not be the most romantic guy you''ve ever met, but at least I know that she''s still upset about it and what she wanted at this moment.
Lynn could be really clingy at times like this, not that I mind it though.
Sure enough, Lynn didn''t say anything and just accept the piggyback while asking where''ve I been this whole time, although I can''t seem to erase that pout on her face.
I told her everything I know, she looks pretty shocked and skeptical at first, but after linking it to our recent discoveries and showing her my teleporting ability, all of it made sense, so she accepts the fact.
After answering all of her questions, we''ve finally arrived at the campsite.
I told Lynn to make some dinner first so that I can test my abilities.
" Hey, can I make my body stronger using the mana reserve from the ring? "(Alex)
" I already transfer mana to your body bit by bit after you wore the ring, just enough so that your body can take it. "(The ring)
Now that you mention it, my body feels lighter by the minute after wearing the ring, it''s barely noticeable, but it definitely feels lighter.
I grabbed a pebble and threw it with all my strength to a near tree.
*Whoosh*
*bang *
It easily makes a small hole in the tree.
I grabbed another pebble and made the time goes really slow and then threw it once again with all my strength.
I can seethe pebble moving slowly straightahead to the nearby tree, and then I set the flow of time to normal again.
* Whoooshh *If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
* BANG *
* BANG *
It shot straight through the tree and made a small crater on the ground behind it.
Satisfied with the result, I shot a glance at Lynn who''s staring at the hole slackjawed
" How did you do that! I only saw your hand becomes a blur and there''s that hole. " (Lynn)
Which I replied with a smirk and a smug face.
She throws the frying pan that she was holding right on my face, which I grab it easily with my power.
" Muuu, That''s cheating. "(Lynn)
I replied with a smile and gave her back the frying pan and once again test my abilities.
I stopped the time and punched a tree with all my might.
* BANG *
The tree instantly split in two. And I can''t seem to feel any pain even though it probably should.
After a while of experimenting, it seems he can easily control his power output, and he doesn''t have to worry about accidently harming someone when he''s using his power because he can control how his body affects other''s while he''s using his ability.
He doesn''t experiment on Lynn of course. He tested it on a tree.
I also can make my body to also follow the time flow or make it not affected at all, if it''s like this, then I can easily hide my abilities. If people sees me using my power, they would just think that I had an incredible reaction speed.
As for teleporting, there''s a little to no strain on his mind after continuous use.
Finished, I seated myself next to Lynn and rested my head one her shoulder, waiting for the food to be ready.
" Get off. You''re heavy. "(Lynn)
" Muu " (Alex)
I reluctantly remove my head while sulking.
After a few minutes, Lynn finally finished her cooking. It was a spicy curry with shrimp as the main ingredient.
I''m already salivating just from the smell, Lynn is such a great cook. In fact, she learns how to cook only for Alex.
When both of their parents went missing on a joint mission, both of them only has each other, and to comfort themselves they would do anything to make the other person happy, because they would always share their happiness with each other
" Here you go. " (Lynn)
Lynn handed over Alex''s share and rested her head on his shoulder.
" You''re he- " (Alex)
" I''ll chop your head off if you dare say I''m heavy. " (Lynn)
Alex didn''t say anything and just silently eats his share while sulking.
On the other hand, Lynn was rubbing her head on his shoulder with a happy face.
Though a single kiss on his cheek was enough to erase that sulking face off him.
The night comes peacefully with the two chatting happily. They''ve been in that ruin for a whole day, so they decided to sleep and end the day.
Both of them went to the tent and change their clothes to a more comfortable one, Alex changes his clothes to a more comfortable one, while Lynn takes off her bra and wear a simple T-shirt, Showing Alex that bountiful and firm D-cup breasts.
She didn''t mind changing in front of him, what''s there to hide? She had shown and given her everything to him.
Naturally, since both of them are a lover and lived under the same roof, they''ve done it many times.
Alex extended his hand with a grabbing motion, only to have his hand slapped by Lynn.
" I''m tired okay? " (Lynn)
Alex only gives her a smile and pats at his side, beckoning her to come over.
Lynn gave him a good night kiss on his lips before lying done besides him and rested her head on his chest while being embraced.
Their breathing becomes steady as both of them drift off to dreamland.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
The next morning, Alex wakes up with Lynn still being in his embrace.
He stroked her head gently with care and tenderness, and not long after, Lynn also wakes up while her head was being stroked.
" Morning. " (Lynn)
Lynn gives Alex a smile as she kissed him on the lips.
" Good morning. "(Alex)
They both spend a couple of minutes only cuddling until Lynn gets up decided to Make something to eat.
Alex follows Lynn out and once more, both of them was seated by the fire.
While Lynn was cooking, I decided to play a game.
I would throw a stone at a flying bird and see how much I could hit.
8/10 hit.
It feels like I''m using a gun because the stone would instantly reach the target.
" Honey, your power is such a cheat. " (Lynn)
" I know right, and It even said that the true God forged it. " (Alex)
" True God? What''s that? "(Lynn)
" I dunno, King of the gods? God of the gods? Maybe? " (Alex)
" That sounds amazing, isn''t it? But how come it ends up here? "(Lynn)
" It won''t tell me anything about that matter, but somehow whenever I talked about it, it''s tone changed like it''s.....
Sad? I don''t really know how the ring feels though, So it''s better if we don''t talk about it.
Maybe It''ll talk about it sooner or later? Who knows? " (Alex)
" You''ve been addressing the ring as an it until now, isn''t that a bit rude? Considering how you said that it has a voice of a young girl. "(Lynn)
" Ehhh... Now that you said it, I''ve never thought about it that much, I mean..... It''s a ring. " (Alex)
" How rude, I''m a girl! And also a living being with flesh and bones at some point.... Not that I can be one anymore. " (The ring)
I heard her mutter something, barely audible but I still manage to catch it.
I can feel the sadness in her voice.
Crap, I feel like a dick, I''ve been treating her as an artifact, as a tool. Even though she has her own feelings, her own stories, just like we do.
" I''m really sorry, and I apologize from the bottom of my heart if I hurt your feelings. " (Alex)
I bowed politely and tweaked my voice a bit, trying to be comical, though it doesn''t seem to work at all.
" It''s fine, that''s all in the past..." (The ring)
" Soo... What''s your name? " (Alex)
" Don''t have one, I better not use my former name. It brings up bad memories. " (The ring)
Right, how stupid of me.
" Thenn... How about we give you one?
" How about Rayla? That''s a good name right. " (Alex)
" Right? That one''s fine. " (Lynn)
" Yes, Thank you... " (Rayla)
* Sobs *
* Sobs *
Ehh? Why is she crying?
" Alex! What have you done!? " (Lynn)
" I don''t know! I''m innocent! " (Alex)
Said Alex while putting both hands in the air.
" Alex... * Sigh * Now you''ve tainted another girl. " (Lynn)
" You''ll make people misunderstand! I''m Crying because I''m Happy, Nothing else, so thank you... " (Rayla)
" But.... You''ve been tainted... " (Lynn)
" I''m Not!! " (Rayla)
" She''s Not!! " (Alex)
* Sigh *
" Look, the meat is cooked, let''s just eat alright? " (Alex)
" Yayyy Meatt!! " (Lynn)
Is she a kid?
" Honey? How are you going to tell the world about the news?? " (Lynn)
" Rather than making the announcement myself, I will announce it on the Internet with the pictures of the proof, whether they would believe it or not, that''s not my problem.
I''ll also send the evidence to the world museum, and I believe there will be someone smart enough who can connect the dots. "(Alex)
" Then, how about us? Do we wait until the time comes or...... "(Lynn)
" Yep, We''ll travel between worlds, and we''re no hero Lynn, we cannot save everyone. This is something they would have to face by themselves. "(Alex)
" Yes I understand, But what about our parents? "(Lynn)
I can clearly see the sadness in her eyes, although she also didn''t bother to hide it.
" *Sigh* I don''t know Lynn.... We''ve looked everywhere, but they disappeared just like that, no clues whatsoever. "(Alex)
Our parents were on a joint mission that day, and disappeared on the same day. When we looked at the ruins, there''s nothing there, no artifacts or the likes.
It''s like, our parents disappeared with them.
What if.....
" Hey Rayla, what are the chances that there''s another artifact here who could also transport you to another world? "(Alex)
* Gasp*
" Alex, You mean.... "(Lynn)
" Yes, I think it''s the case here, our parents also won''t just leave us without saying anything. "(Alex)
" I don''t know. I''m not good with numbers. " (Rayla)
I facepalmed.
I thought the older you''re, the smarter you become, It''s not true apparently.
" Hey, you were thinking something rude just now, didn''t you? Be careful, or I might accidently teleport you to
the sun. " (Rayla)
" Wh-what are you talking about, I''m just thinking how beautiful you are.... "(Alex)
Scary, This woman is scary.
" Hmmphh, anyway It''s not impossible. I also can feel a big space fluctuation around three years ago if that''ll answer your questions. " (Rayla)
Lynn''s eyes lit up
" Yes! The date matches. Alex, does that mean they''re not in this world anymore? "(Lynn)
" There''s a high chance that it''s the case.
Look, Let''s just eat first okay? I''m starving here... " (Alex)
" Alriiighhtttt!!! " (Lynn)
Chapter 02 Finally in another world?
After we had finished our meal, we decided to pack things up and go home, as we don''t have things left to do here.
After storing all the camping gear in my storage, we''re finally ready to go home.
" Lynn, You ready? " (Alex)
" Ready for what? " (Lynn)
" For the teleport of course. " (Alex)
" Wait, we''re using your power? " (Lynn)
"Of course, You want to spend hours sitting on the plane while we can just teleport to our home and prepare all the things we need for the travel? " (Alex)
" Jeez, Fine then. " (Lynn)
I touched Lynn''s hand and teleported us to our home, I can feel the space distortion around us, and our body became light particles then vanished from that place.
The next thing we know, we''re already in our apartment at colossi city.
" It''s convenient, right? " (Alex)
I said with a smug face
" Yeah Yeah. " (Lynn)
What''s with that half-assed praise.
" Fine then, Let''s get ready, we''ll go to the mall to look for things to bring. "(Alex)
" Woohoo, bath! "(Lynn)
" Wondering why you would be jubilant over a simple bath. "(Alex)
We finished bathing in a couple of minutes, and ready to take a walk to the mall.
The mall we''re going was only a couple block away from our apartment, so we don''t need to use our car.
Lynn didn''t bother using makeup, in fact, she only wears one when there''s official event. As she didn''t find the need to wear one when going out casually.
" Let''s go. "(Alex)
I casually held her hand while walking beside her.
I could see one or two envious gazes from the people around us, though I don''t mind it one bit, you won''t even believe how many thugs I''ve beaten while walking casually with Lynn.
In fact, Lynn is the reason why I would learn 5-6 Martial Arts at once when I''m still in the middle school.
I noticed how beautiful she was when we''re in Junior high school, and she''s also the reason for my first fight.
My first fight ends up in me being black and blue, why? They''re fucking gang up on me, of course I would lose miserably.
Learning my lesson, I quickly train my body and learns martial arts.
I was content with the results, and I was able to protect her inside and outside the school, that is until I saw the news about gun violence rising by the day, that''s my first mistake, I didn''t put guns in my equation.
What if I encounter someone with a gun? I''ll be dead in a second.
So I decided to train in them. While I was training in them, I decided to hire a bodyguard to protects her when I can''t accompany her out. That''s my second mistake. I trust someone other than my parents and Lynn.
It was supposed to be an ordinary day where I train my marksmanship, but I missed every single shot in that day''s training, I couldn''t calm down no matter what, that''s when I noticed that there must be something wrong.
I Got Lynn''s location from the tracker I plant on Lynn, Seeing that she''s not home, I immediately rushed out with my custom made desert eagle in hand.
After a while sprinting like there''s no tomorrow, There I found her. She was being held with a handkerchief in her mouth by no other than the bodyguard I Hired to protect her, and I would have no idea what would happen If I was even a minute late.
Boundless rage and murderous killing intent surged out from me.
Without delay, I pull out My guns and put four holes on his head with a quick and precise shot.
My hands were trembling at that moment, will she get disgusted by me? Would she throw me away because of my tainted hand? Or would she see me with a horrified face? But no, that didn''t happen.
She embraces me crying like a little kid while saying I''m sorry over and over.
It should be my fault.
I was the one who hired him.
I was the one who puts her in danger.
But why is she the one who apologize?
I also embrace her and spoke only one sentence.
" Are you stupid? "(Alex)
Lynn couldn''t but laugh at her own stupidity.
That''s when I decided that I would trade everything I have for that laugh.
So from that moment onwards, we become an inseparable pair, he would always be by her side whenever she goes.
She also didn''t mind it, In fact, she also loves it.
When I encounter a bad guy, I would fight them myself, If they''re using fists, I will also fight with my fists, but the moment they decided to take out their guns, I wouldn''t hesitate to shoot them in between their eyebrows.
Don''t get me wrong. I''m a nice person, That is until you decided to mess with Lynn.
I also bring my guns with me whenever I go since that day.
For now, I would just enjoy the scenery while walking hand in hand with a beauty.
" Hey look at that! " (Lynn)
Lynn says while pointing at a Golden retriever puppy
" Isn''t she cute?
Alex, can we bring a dog? Pretty please? " (Lynn)
" No. " (Alex)
" But Whyyyy?? " (Lynn)
" Who would take care of its shit huh? " (Alex)
" You? " (Lynn)
" See? " (Alex)
" But, Isn''t that usually the husband''s job? " (Lynn)
" So my job is to takes care of shit? " (Alex)
" Uuuhhh, Yes? " (Lynn)
I Gave her a chop on the head.
" Ouch " (Lynn)
" No means no. " (Alex)
" Cheapskate " (Lynn)
Taking a glance at her, she''s sulking
" Hey look, an ice cream stand. "(Alex)
" ......... "(Lynn)
" You don''t want an Ice Cream? "(Alex)
" ......... "(Lynn)
" Lady, Give me one vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, and a napkin please. "(Alex)
" Here you go, handsome boy. " (Ice cream lady)
" Thanks, Lets''s go Lynn "(Alex)
Looking behind me, she''s still rooted at the ice cream stand.
" You didn''t bring your purse? "(Alex)
* shooks head*
" You want one? "(Alex)
* Nods *
" Here. " (Alex)
I give her the Ice cream I just bought and once again grabs her other hand and starts walking.
She''ll stop sulking after she finishes her Ice cream, It always works, unless when she''s really angry.
After a while of walking, we''ve finally arrived at the Mall, It''s a huge mall, and almost all things were sold here. From daily necessities to vehicles.
It''s not too shocking though, considering that it''s the capital city that we lived in.
" Jeez, look at that mess. "(Alex)
She has ice cream all over her mouth, and it''s still piling up. Lynn doesn''t really care about her appearance unless it bothers me, though I don''t really care either.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
I wiped all the mess on her face with a simple motion and entered the mall
It''s Saturday noon, so it''s a bit crowded.
" Now, what should we buy first? "(Alex)
" Pads, I''m on my period "(Lynn)
" So that''s why... "(Alex)
" What? "(Lynn)
" Nothing. "(Alex)
After we bought some pads, what we really need to buy is food reserve, considering we have items for protection under control.
We purchased a lot of spices, frozen foods, snacks, veggies, meats, and some other foods.
The time will stop in my dimensional storage, so we don''t have to worry about the food going bad.
We had all of them to be delivered to our apartment since the sheer number was enough to fit an entire truck, we told them that it was for charity, and they gladly helped us.
Once we had enough, we moved to different sections, buying solar chargers, new Laptops, Handphones, portable game devices, books, and new clothings, right now, we don''t really know what to buy anymore.
" Honey, what about a bunny? "(Lynn)
" Why a bunny? "(Alex)
" Because they''re cute? "(Lynn)
" We''ll have a lot of bunnies later on another world alright? "(Alex)
" Fiinee."(Lynn)
" Oh right, we need bags and new camping gear for traveling. "(Alex)
" Chocolate too! "(Lynn)
" We''ll buy them alright. "(Alex)
We''re finally back in our apartment after we bought everything we need, I bought a whole load of guns and ammunitions (without the knowledge of the seller of course).
What I did was take everything in the store, and replace them with enough money to build him his own mansion.
After that, I make the announcement on all of the famous forums around the world with God as the username, and send the proofs of ancient civilization to the world museum,
We''ve also finished donating all of our possessions to a nearby orphanage, and other charity programs.
It''s already night time when we''ve finished all we need to do.
The things we ordered also arrived at night, considering how close our place from the mall.
I told the delivery man to put everything in our garage and store all of them when nobody is looking.
As it was already night time, we decided to travel tomorrow and rest for the night.
Early in the morning, After organizing our things, we''re finally ready to teleport to another world.
" Alright, Rayla, How are we going to do this? "(Alex)
" Easy, I''m going to look for a lump of mana the size of a planet and directly transport you guys there. " (Rayla)
" So... It''s random then? "(Alex)
" What? You''ve got a better idea? I Won''t be able to teleport you to a specific place without being there at least once. " (Rayla)
" Fine then, Lynn you ready? "(Alex)
" Yes! " (Lynn)
" Let''s do this rayla "(Alex)
As soon as I said that my ring starts glowing brightly, and I can feel a huge amount of mana was being used.
Our bodies became light particles and vanished from that place.
I woke up from the sheer amount of wind that hit my face I was falling from the sky with incredible speed, Lynn was still in my arms, it seems she was still dreaming.
Below me was a really thick and dense forest, I can hear an occasional roar of beasts here and there, the forest looks mesmerizing from up here, but I can''t seem to find any human civilization nearby.
Meh, that''ll mean we could enjoy the scenery to the fullest.
" Kyaaaaaa!! " (Lynn)
" My eardrums! " (Alex)
" Alex! Why are we falling! "
Lynn shouted as she embraces Alex tighter.
" Relax, Look at the scenery, Isn''t it beautiful? "(Alex)
" The hell it is! Alex! We''ll die! "
" FIneee "(Alex)
I instantly teleport us to a nearby clearing, looking around at the dense forest, my nose picked a refreshing fragrance of morning dew. Hmmm so refreshing.
" Fyuh, I thought we would die there, " (Lynn)
Said Lynn while she casually looks around
" Wow, this forest is so beautiful. It''s like no one has touched this place. " (Lynn)
" Yeah, Be careful though, I hear a lot of beasts roar around us. "(Alex)
First, Let''s find a city where we could set in.
We took a walk straight ahead, not knowing where we are going, but it''s fine, we still had a lot of food left, so we''ll just enjoy the scenery on the way.
After a couple of minutes of walking a beast finally found us and was running toward us.
It''s a huge blackboar with a pair of sharp teeth sticking out of its mouth.
It was looking at us with hungry eyes, It''s looking at us like we''re already a dead meat.
" Alex? you can kill it, right? "(Lynn)
A scared voice comes out from his side, looking at Lynn she''s hugging my hand while trembling.
It''s natural though. This thing size was bigger than a small pickup truck.
" Relax, how big its body are, it''ll still be dead if it had a knife sticking out of itsforehead. "(Alex)
Now, what should I use for my first kill in another world?
I stopped the time and looked at my weapon stash, should I use throwing knives? A Javelin maybe?
I took out a red colored curved knife from my stash and was about to throw it at the boar''s head.
" Wait, drip your blood onto the knife first, It''ll make a connection with you so that you can bring out its real potential. "
(Rayla)
" Wait, does that mean all of the weapons and armors I take from the ruins were not just some ordinary stuff? "(Alex)
If that''s the case, then I just struck a golden mine without realizing it.
" Of course silly those people hide it there so that minor god won''t find it, they''ve given up the will to fight back.
Considering their strongest human was slapped to its death with a simple motion. " (Rayla)
Wow, that''s..... brutal.
I cut my finger and drop my blood onto the blade, and the blade shines a red luster for a moment until it stops.
I suddenly can feel a connection with the knife, it feels like having an extra limb that could move around wherever I want as I will it.
I threw the knife with precision onto the head of the boar, and with a sound of splitting through the air, the knife shot trough the bear like a hot knife through butter.
The boar lets out a grieving cry, Its big body tumbled onto the ground with a * BANG * and its eyes lost the luster of life.
I call back the knife, and with swoosh sound, the knife was already in my hand.
I nod my head in approval and put the blade back to its sheath as I strapped it on my waist.
Lynn only stares at the whole scene slackjawed and lost for words.
She snapped back into reality when I finished storing the boar''s body.
" Alex! can you give me one of those, pretty please? " (Lynn)
I chuckled at her childish behavior.
" Of course, what weapon do you want? "(Alex)
" I-I don''t know how to use any weapons. "(Lynn)
Lynn says and looks down in embarrassment.
" Of course I''ll teach you, what weapon do you want to use? "(Alex)
" I want a Bow! Teach me how to use a bow! " (Lynn)
" Ehh... But I don''t know how to use a bow either... "(Alex)
" Muuu, Alex, I thought you were good at everything... "(Lynn)
" Now you know I''m not... How about we practice together. "(Alex)
" Right! Give me one beautiful bow, please! "(Lynn)
I looked at my weapon stash and saw that there''s many Bow available.
5 of them that catches my eyes was.
- A bow with white shining color, It''s probably a bow with holy affinity.
- A bow with a dark luster, obviously a dark affinity.
- A bow with fiery red color, Fire affinity.
- A bow with blue sea color, Water affinity.
- A bow with metallic luster, I don''t know what kind of bow is this.
I asked rayla about it, but she also doesn''t know what it was.
I didn''t need to ask Lynn, to know what she wanted, I gave her the one with white shining color, and she was elated to have it.
I picked the one with metallic luster, because it looks really cool and mesmerizing Lynn''s was also mesmerizing, but it has different taste to it.
When I was about to grab an arrow from my storage, I noticed that there''s none who fit our bow.
" Rayla,why does our bow doesn''t come with a quiver and arrow? " (Alex)
" Of course it doesn''t have one, You make the arrow yourself with mana. " (Rayla)
She said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world, I feel like a country bumpkin in front of her.
" Lynn should use the ordinary bow first, it would strain her body if she uses that bow from the get go. " (Rayla)
Hmmm, that''s right, Lynn''s body haven''t had enough mana in it.
" Awww that''s a bummer.. " (Lynn)
" It''s alright, you''ll use it sooner or later. " (Alex)
I gave her a green colored bow and it''s fitting quiver, which she also happily receive because it''s beautiful carvings, and I also change my bow to an ordinary one.
" Alright let''s move out " (Alex)
We once more take a walk to the same directionwe previously go.
We occasionally stop to practice the bow, even though we''re using the most ordinary one I see, it''s still so much stronger than a normal bow.
Lynn seems to have a knack for it as she improves her marksmanship faster than I do, though she still can''t pull the string into a full arch, which I easily did.
We alsomeetsome beasts along the way which I easily take care of with my knife. We found all kind of creature on the way. There''s a pig-headed fatty, a skinny green and bald kid? Even though it has a rusty sword in its hand, Its face was really ugly so we quickly kill it.
We meet many bizarre creatures but there''s too many of them to mention one by one.
After 3-4 days of traveling, Lynn was also capable of killing one or two of them with her bow. She''s also looked stronger and nimble by the day.
We would take a bath when we found a river or a lake, of course, that is after I checked that there''s nothing in the water.
We didn''t use armors yet as it looks really uncomfortable, I''m fine using simple clothes for now until we found a city.
After four more days of uneventful traveling, we found a girl, who''s currently chasing after what it seem to be a deer, but with a red mane and two sharp horns sticking out of its head.
* Gasp *
" Alex! We''ve finally found another person! " (Lynn)
" Yeah, I can see that, Let''s ask for direction. " (Alex)
Her prey was already impaled to the ground with a javelin which she throws, so we approached her.
She has a red hair tied into a ponytail,red eyes, and a beautiful face. On her back was a javelin made of a metal I don''t know of.
" Hey kid, do you know where the nearest city is? " (Alex)
" A traveler? where''s your language crystal? " (???)
" Huh? Lynn, can you understand her? " (Alex)
" Definitely not. Try hand gestures."(Lynn)
" Alright " (Alex)
I made a series of gestures,
WE, LOOKING, BIG, SLEEPING.
" Huh? Are you looking for a big sleeping monster? I know one, but you can''t go to the place you just came from, that''s the territory of a dragon. " (???)
(It was supposed to be we''re looking a big city where we can rest.)
She only tilts her head in confusion and also made a series of gestures.
YOU, WALKS, POINTS TO LOCATION WE CAME FROM, FUCK ME?
" She wanted to fuck you there? " (Lynn)
(It was supposed to be You can''t go to that location anymore, It''s dangerous.)
I also made a fuck you sign, and she only nods repeatedly.
" Alex, she wanted to fuck you... " (Lynn)
" Yeah... " (Alex)
The tree of them silently looks at each other for a minute until the girl took out two sapphire colored crystal and gave them to Lynn and Alex
The two of them looks at her in confusion.
" What''s this? " (Alex)
" That is a language crystal " (???)
" Wow, I can understand you know. " (Alex)
" Right! Such an awesome artifact " (Lynn)
" What''s your name? " (Alex)
" The name is Tiara, Nice to meet you, traveler. " (Tiara)
" Nice to meet you too " (Alex & Lynn)
" We were asking a direction to the nearest city so we can rest. " (Alex)
" Ohh.... I thought you were looking for a big sleeping monster....
I was saying that you can''t go back to the place where you just came from, It''s the territory of a dragon. " (Tiara)
" Ohhh... I thought you wanted to fuck me in the bushes there. " (Alex)
" Why would I fuck a random stranger! " (Tiara)
Tiara said while blushing
" You know, You''re making a hole and stick your other finger into it. " (Lynn)
" That was supposed to be a cave with a dragon in it!! " (Tiara)
" Well, that''s a weird gesture.... " (Lynn)
Tiara only looks down in embarrassment.
" It''s fine, It''s fine... The misunderstandings were cleared, Now can you show us the way to the nearby city? " (Alex)
" I will, after you pay me for the crystals. " (Tiara)
" Oh right, how can we forgot about that. So, how much does it costs? " (Lynn)
" I bought it for 50 silver each, and I was about to sell them when I reach the town. " (Tiara)
I grabbed two Gold coins from my storage and gave them to her.
" I can''t use this money... " (Tiara)
Well, that''s troublesome.
" How about we trade it with an artifact? " (Alex)
" That''s..... You know my crystals were not an artifact, It''s a common good. While an artifact could go for thousands of gold... " (Tiara)
She stares at us with hopeful eyes.
Yeah, she wanted it alright.
" It''s fine, You were nice to us, " (Lynn)
" Then, I''ll take it " (Tiara)
Said tiara with excitement in her voice.
I grab two spears from my storage, One was a blood colored spear, the other one was a fiery red spear with a blazing tip.
" Choose one. " (Alex)
" Woaahhh..." (Tiara)
She looked at the Spears while drooling.
" This one " (Tiara)
She said while taking the one with a blazing tip
" Nice choice, Drip your blood onto it, and it''ll bound to you. "(Alex)
" What! It can be soul bonded? " (Tiara)
" Of course " (Alex)
Even though I don''t know what that is, I''ll just say yes for now and looks cool while I can.
She drops her blood onto the spear, and the spear was instantly set ablaze, making it a spectacular view.
" Thank you! " (Tiara)
Tiara said while doing a 90-degree bow
" It''s fine, You really helped us with this crystals, we won''t know what to do if we reach the city without these. " (Alex)
" Alright, I''ll lead you both to the city! " (Tiara)
" Let''s Go! " (Alex & Lynn)
Chapter 03 Ivory Auction House
As we walked through the forest, I finally noticed a towering wall far in the distance, and I reckon that it''ll be another 30-40 minutes walk.
Sadly, we didn''t meet a carriage that was being attacked by bandits, maybe we had to use the stone path?
As we walked some more, we could see the full view of the city. It was majestic and breathtaking, you could see merchant''s carriage and pedestrians coming in and out of the city.
There are four guards blocking the road into the city, I reckon they''re there to filter out the criminals.
As I casually walk into the mass of people that were queueing In a long line, I felt a tug at the hem of my clothes, looking at my side, Lynn was looking at me like I was some kind of dumb idiot.
" Look at our clothes. We''re totally out of place right now. " (Lynn)
I facepalmed, I totally forgot about it after seeing this magnificent view.
" Now that you mention it, I''ve never seen any clothes like those. " (Tiara)
" Yeah? We got them from a traveling merchant, It looks comfortable so we bought them. Wait here, me and Lynn need to change first. " (Alex)
We found bushes high enough to hide our bodies and change there, I take out two sets of black leather armor with a carving of a snake coiling around the armor, the details make it as if it were alive and constantly moving. The sets also came out with a metal mouth mask that is also black in color.
" Nice..... " (Alex)
" Yay! Now we would become the center of attention once more... " (Lynn)
Lynn said with a sarcastic remark.
" What? It looks cool.... This way nobody would mess with us. " (Alex)
" Yeah right, but they would wonder what cult do we come from the moment they saw us. " (Lynn)
" I''m still wearing it though " (Alex)
Said Alex as he already began to undress and put on the armor
" Geh, Fine.... " (Lynn)
" Come on... Where''s the cute Lynn who would sulk over the last piece of chocolate? " (Alex)
" Honey... Can I not wear these kinds of armor pleasee...." (Lynn)
Glancing at Lynn, She was looking directly at my eyes with a slight pout and teary eyes, It was her cutest face I could ever imagine. I couldn''t bring myself to reject her while she was making that face, So I pull out another set of armor, it has the same proportion as mine as if it was made by the same person, but this time it was white in color with carving of a tiger that looks like some kind of holy beast.
It was the exact opposite of mine, but both of them looks great together, It feels like Life and death were walking together side by side.
Lynn looked at the armor with sparkling eyes as she feels the materials with her hand.
" Thank Youu! "
Said Lynn as she leans over and gives me a peck on my cheek.
The armor shifted to our size every time we put on a piece of it, and it makes them feel really comfortable, We also didn''t feel any heat even with these armor on, what we feel was a breeze constantly hitting our bodies.
" Waah, This feels really good... " (Lynn)
" They even have this function, It feels even more comfortable than our previous clothes " (Alex)
I said while looking at how good this armor on me
I took Lynn''s hand and went back to where Tiara was, And she was still there squatting down while looking at the never ending mass off people coming in and out of the city with a bored face. On her back, was the deer she killed, strapped tightly as not to fall.
" Tiaraaa! "
Lynn waves at her with a smile on her face.
As Tiara sees us, her bored face immediately changed into one that of disbelieving and shocked expression.
" Holy shit " (Tiara)
We both laughed at her expression
" I thought you guys don''t want to be the center of attention? " (Tiara)
" Don''t get me wrong, We didn''t want to be the center of attention because of our weird looking clothes, but we didn''t say we don''t want to be the center of attention because how awesome we look-- Ouch! " (Alex)
" Ignore him. We just didn''t have any other armor besides this one. " (Lynn)
Lynn said as she pinch hardly at my side
" Rightt... " (Tiara)
" Yeahh, Look the line is getting longer, let''s go " (Lynn)
As we approach the line, more and more people started to notice us, they looked at us with wide eyes after seeing our get-ups.
They take another one or two glance wondering why did these high ranking people were standing in line with a commoner like them. Usually, people with power would just walk past the line like it''s the obvious thing to do.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
Well, we''re still a nobody, so it''s obvious.
After waiting for a couple of minutes, it''s finally our turn to be checked.
The guards looked at us fearfully, afraid to accidently offend us or the like.
" Uuhh, That... I... " (Guard 1)
Oi oi, does my armor look that scary? He looks like he would break down at any moment.
" See Alex? " (Lynn)
After seeing his friend stuttering like an idiot in front of me, another guard came up to me and shove his friend back to his post.
He is a young man with handsome face and chestnut colored hair. He''s using a spear befitting of a guard.
" We''re sorry Sir, He''s a new recruit here " (Guard with guts)
He directly apologized to me as I was obviously the leading figure of this party of three.
" Yeah it''s alright " (Alex)
The guard seems to be surprised as I replied with a calm and relaxed tone, not befitting of my image.
" Sir, We need your identification card to be checked first before entering the city. " (Guard with guts)
" Hmmm That''ll be tough, We lose our luggage on the road here, so we can''t give you the identification card. " (Alex)
" That''s alright sir. We just need to check your soul for a brief moment, so we would know if you sir are a criminal or not. Not to offend you sir or anything, but it''s a necessary procedure. "
Wow, I''m impressed at how calm and collected this person can be. I reckon he''ll be a great person in the future, that is of course if no one interferes.
But I''m more interested in that soul checking thing.
" Sure, that''s fine " (Alex)
" Then, this way sir. Tiara, you should wait here for a moment " (Guard with guts)
" No, I also wanted to see the soul checking stuff " (Tiara)
" Ehh, You guys know each other? " (Lynn)
" Yes, He''s my fiancee Arion. " (Tiara)
Hmmm, so that''s why she would glance at him from time to time.
" Ahhh, But There''s four entrance to this city right? " (Lynn)
" Yes? " (Tiara)
Ask tiara confused with the sudden topic change. I know where this is going
" Noo, It''s just that I feel that we take slight detour just now when coming here "
Me and Lynn gives Tiara a knowing smile as she was blushing furiously while looking down. Glancing at the boy, he was also blushing while awkwardly fidgeting with the spear in his hand.
" Ahhh, How cute " (Lynn)
Said Lynn as she laugh lightly at both of them
" S-sir this way please... " (Arion)
We all followed him into a small room with a floating transparent crystal in the middle.
" This is? " (Alex)
" This is the soul checking crystal sir, you just need to send a little bit of mana into the crystal " (Arion)
I touched the crystal and sent a little bit of mana just as instructed.
The crystal glows for a brief moment until it became pure white with some speck of gray in them.
" This means you''re not a criminal sir, a criminal would have a black soul with a speck of wait in them. " (Arion)
Lynn also followed suit, Her soul was almost the same as mine, but with a little less gray in them.
After confirming that we''re not a criminal Arion directed us to a branch office where identification card was made, It was a simple procedure where we fill out our general information like name, age, occupation, etc.
Tiara was the one who pays for the fees of 2 silvers, saying how she was indebted to us.
Finished we were asked to wait for a couple of minutes while the card was being made. Arion left us to resume his job of guarding the city entrance, and Tiara also left to deliver the meat to her house, saying that it was for her family''s lunch.
I marked both of them with my power as they were both have helped me a lot, and I would feel sorry if something bad happened to them.
After waiting for a while, our names were finally called. we were asked to drop our blood into the card so it can''t be used by anyone else or be faked.
After dropping my blood into it, the blood was directly absorbed into the card. After taking the cards and saying our thanks to the receptionist, we immediately left the building.
" We need fast money, or we''ll need to sleep in the forest again " (Alex)
" We could sell one of the artifacts. We got ton of them anyway " (Lynn)
" Where to? " (Alex)
" Ask someone " (Lynn)
We found a middle-aged man who is currently promoting his wares. He looked like a nice person so we asked where could I buy and sell an artifact, He pointed a direction and said that we should follow the main road until we found a big building named Ivory Continent Auction House. We said our thanks and gave him one gold coin, saying that it still can be melted or kept for collection, as he won''t be able to use it anywhere.
As we walked towards our destination, I notice many different gazes directed to us. There''s Fear, Curiosity, Awe, And some even shot a lustful gaze towards Lynn, I give people like that a murderous gaze and they would run away in panic.
We''re enjoying our walk while talking happily, Rayla would join the talk if not for the crowded street where people could easily hear our conversation.
The street was packed with merchant''s shout and chattering of other people, you could say that it was very lively.
The buildings here was already pretty advanced, as there was even some that have a glass storefront to showcase their wares.
After a while of walking, we''re standing in front of a big beautiful building with a brightly lit sign that says (Ivory Auction House)
We were greeted by a good looking lady in her twenties. She''s wearing a gold colored robe with a nameplate on her left side chest, her name was Amanda.
" Greetings, What could I help you with? " (Amanda)
She bowed and asked us politely
" We would like to sell an artifact, can you tell us how the system here works? " (Alex)
Her eyes lit up when we said artifact and she quickly lead us to a private room inside the building,
" Just like other auction houses, to bid, you''ll need to invest your money to our auction house firstand you could freely bid after that, if you accidently bid more than what you have, our staff would kindly warn you that you don''t have enough balance.
Our auction house was the one who would decide whether we would host your item or not, the item''s authenticity also needs to be checked first.
We would take 5% of what you get after using our services. We''re not greedy, so 1000 gold was the maximum price we would take from your sells, take note that theitem we host here cost tens of thousands of gold.
You could also directly sell your item to us at a price that is a little below of the market price.
So, Which one is it? " (Amanda)
A professional indeed.
" Then, We''d like you to auction this artifact, " (Alex)
I take out a Sword with a blue colored aura around it that made the room temperature to drop instantly. And it has an exquisite design of a wave on its handle.
" Holy fuck............. " (Amanda)
.
.
.
.
.
.
Shit, Did I just ruin my entire career? " (Amanda)
We both laughed at her one-man comedy show. It''s not like we''d ruin someone''s career just because she accidently spurts out profanity.
" It''s fine... we''re cool about it " (Alex)
" Right? It''s not like we''ve never said that kind of thing " (Lynn)
" Guh, I''m sorry for my rudeness " (Amanda)
She said as she bowed politely
After that, she brings an expert artificer to the room to check the authenticity of the sword. It was an old man wearing a loose robe, he was pretty shocked at first but calmed down after a moment, he says that it has been a long time since the auction house hosts an item of this scale.
After checking that it was a genuine artifact, Amanda leads us to a VIP box that is located in the auction hall, we cansee everythingfrom here while they cannot see anything inside the VIP box.
" You can order any food you''d like to have, It''s completely free as a thanks for using our service " (Amanda)
As if reading my mind she said what''s on my mind this whole time, We haven''t got a chance to eat our meal so we''re starving.
" Then, We''ll take four of the chef''s recommendation, and a cold drink with that "
" Gladly " (Amanda)
Amanda bowed politely and left us, They said the auction would start in a couple of minutes, and our item will be today''s special.
" How much do you think it would sell for? " (Lynn)
Lynn said as she munch on a chocolate bar
I just shrug my shoulder and once again focus on the side scrolling retro game I''m playing.
