13 Another Settlement Needs Your Help
After putting all the chickens into my spacial dimension I started to look through the stuff of the dead guy. In one of his pockets was a guild card stating that he was a B Rank adventurer who's class was Mercenary. His stats where averaged around 220 so he was in the middle of all B Rankers. In another pocket was a ton of gold, silver, and copper.
Finishing up with the dead guy, people where slowly starting to come out of there houses. Upon seeing the dead guy, their eyes lit up with happiness and they started running to other houses to knock on their doors.
Eventually a old man with a cane came walking up to me slowly.
"Young men. You have done us a great service and we thank you."
He said while trying to bow down awhile saying this but couldn't do it as he was to old.
"Don't hurt yourself while trying to thank us, just do yourself a favor and use this money to fix whatever he did. I'm guessing he was somewhat of a bully right?" I asked while handing him the money that I just got from the dead mercenary.
Upon seeing the gold his eyes started glimmering with greed for the money and he snatched it surprisingly quickly for someone his age who was just having trouble bowing down.
'Guess seeing this much money can make anyone greedy eh?' I thought to myself
"Is there anything else you might need help with while my friend and I are here?" I asked
The old man just stood there thinking until he said, "We don't really need that much help as you've given us enough money to fix a lot of our problems. Some of our neighboring settlements though could use your help."
Hearing this I knew what I had to do.
I turned to Chris and with a straight face said, "I heard of another settlement that needs our help. Here, I'll mark the location on your map."
The old man just stood there in confusion at what I was doing. Chris however, had read all of my memories so he knew what I was doing. All he did was stare at me for a couple of seconds and then walk away.
'Ahhh, good ol' 2015 memes.'
Getting back to the topic at hand I diverted my attention back to the old man and said, "I will help any other towns on my way to Camelot." and quickly adding in, I said, "I have a very important quest that I need to do" I lied
I know lying is bad and all but if it get me out of a Preston Garvey quest then I'll gladly do it.
The old man nodded his head in understanding and said that we where free to do what we wanted in town as long as it didn't harm anyone or anything.
Leaving to go find Chris after finishing up everything with the old man, I found him in a tavern discussing something with the bar keep.
"Chris... Chris... CHRIS."
"ERIC FOR HEAVENS SAKE JUST SHUT THE HELL UP."
"Jeez, just meet me at Camelot when you're done then. Bye." I said halfway through the door
I don't know why Chris hated the old meme so much but I'll leave him to have some free time by himself. The journey to Camelot shouldn't take much longer then a couple of days so that should be enough time.
Leaving through the opposite direction of where we came in I continued on my journey for roughly about a day and a half until I got bored. Being bored made me go back into my video game center and have my body passively go to the location.
At first only a week passed...
Then a month...
Then half a year...
At some point I realized that I was lost but was to lazy to do anything about it. Though I did see tons of amazing things on the half year journey, there wasn't really anything that made me want to stay and look at for more then a week. During this time I also practiced more of my powers but didn't really improved that much.
What I can do now is create some basic items with a simple thought as my intent has been "refined" enough to fit some of the basic things. Complex things are still very hard to do but I'm working on it.
Currently I'm looking at a giant waterfall that is kinda reminiscent of Niagara Falls and is a great place read. I'm currently reading a book from one of the towns I visited in my accidental journey and payed for it using my ability. It explains the concepts behind magic, how the gods supposedly came into existence, and some history. The one I'm reading was from a set of book I picked up at random from a town called Zweiten.
Pretty cool name I must say for it because it was split perfectly into two different areas and-
"Eric"
had two totally different types of family who where-
"Eric"
fighting for possession of a mystical artifact that one family had but-
"ERIC"
surprisingly they found out that there was never a artifact between them and it was all a hoax between friends-
"ERIC YOU IDIOT"
*slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap slap*
"ERIC YOU MOTHERFUCKER. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I WAITED FOR YOU IN CAMELOT? THREE MONTHS AND THEN ANOTHER THREE TO FIND YOUR FUCKING ASS."
"... Well I must say, your personality has really changed from the original "Best friend" personality I gave you."
*Sigh* "I missed you man, its been a long time" Chris said while staring at the waterfalls.
With a small smile on my face I continued to read but pat the rock next to me.
Chris saw this and sat down and stared at the falls for a bit before asking, "You've been okay?"
Closing the book after marking my place, I looked up and stared at the waterfalls
"I guess so. I've seen a lot of the world, avoided some places but still visited some towns, and got stuff for whatever I needed. Hell, I've pretty much stopped using my Skills and only focused on my powers."
"Good for you man. Do you know what you want to do know?"
"I... I don't know. I know I made this world so I should be more excited to explore it but it just not as fun as I thought it was going to be.
"I get your point, most people don't have to hide their powers and don't have the problem of being able to do whatever they want instantly. Its kinda like-"
"It's kinda like, its the opposite of a god complex. I as god feel as if everything is to easy and I wasn't ever supposed to have these powers. Because being mortal was great, the idea that everything needed work to get and achieve might seem annoying and hard but... It's actually one of the best things. That's what people live and work for. I just... Make it appear" I said, finishing Chris's sentence on a more depressing note.
All Chris could do was look at me before pulling me into a hug and saying, "That's the ultimate realization then. Only a mortal can have a god complex. A god who was once mortal can only have a dream of being what they once where."
