Soon as he stepped into the light, he saw the Sun for the first time in many years. His body that had grown accustomed to the dark, had some allergic reactions to the sunlight.
His body began to itch, his hair was outgrown and messy, he was very dirty, his normally fair complexion appeared to be very greasy and gave him the expression of belonging to the slums.
He decided his first priority should be to go to a remote part of the village where he can get his hair cut, then shower and then eat some food , arrange his new possession and then take his leave. He had stolen money from some of the guards on his escape way.
He headed straight to the slums for that is the safest place for now , the guards don't like to visit that place, it's a lot more unlawful than the main part of the village.
Sewo2 headed straight for an inn, where he got judged hard as a beggar , but paying the money upfront for 1 day worth of stay was more than enough to shun off the judgemental eyes.
He then placed his belongings in his room , headed to a barber's shop , got his hair length reduced , the barber said , he would make Sewo2 look very good and the girls might just faint at the sight of his face and haircut complementing each other so well.
The barber carefully , shortened the sides of his hair not to a great degree , but kept medium length, for the top, he shortened the hair up to his nose length, then finished it off with some trimming here and there, then he taught him how to do a middle part on his hair and charged him 25 silver coins . Sewo2 obviously was very happy with his haircut and enjoyed the new looks .
He then went back to his inn, not exploring around much because the slums are nothing but trouble.
He then showered up , shampooed his hair , used herbs to scrub away his body dirt and then cleaned himself up, the diet and grease from his body washes away, his hair was very silky and he got back his fair complexion .
He then walked into his room , dressed up and decided to head out for food as he was starving .
In the inn, he ordered a lot of food , it was his first time in so many years eating anything that had a taste .
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Every bite of the food felt like a heavenly bliss, the taste of such delicacy, the joy of freedom and the happiness he had from knowing he was finally free made him shed tears of joy . He ate alot , then decided to go back to his room and re organize his stuff.
He was tired, so he could fall asleep anytime , but decided that since he would have to leave this place early in the morning, it's best to organise his stuff and then go to bed.
He put his clothes aside, the sword he had taken, he decided to check it out. It was not looking good for combat , it was more of a showcase sword , the blade was dull and the hilt did not shit his style , he realised he wanted a sword with a very good grip , since he could loose the grip on his sword anytime , so he decided he would attack a chain to the end of his sword, this would allow him to use his sword in a much more unorthodox way .
He then opened up the chests , one contained a contrast Index item -
1-The Outer Space :
Item description(in the file)-
The outer space is a different dimension where the user can store his stuff , there is however a limit of only 15 items . The space can be accessed anytime and anywhere, but using it requires the user to be stationary while calling for it.
and a Black Index item -
2- The Abstract Stove :
Item description (in the file):
An all black stove that has no openings and has a flat upper surface , it uses sunlight to cook food and is also capable of storing the sunlight and any other form of energy namely wind energy, electricity, kinetic energy and it even has a small handle for cranking which allows charging it using mechanical energy.
All materials to be cooked are placed on top of the stove and the mental image of the food that the cook has in mind , will be how the food turns out.
The clearer the image, the better the food turns out.
These 2 items were something he definitely needed, he grew suspicious as to how there could be exactly the items he needed. He then grew curious about the chests, he looked through the files to see if these chests were an index items as well because there is no way that this is a coincidence.
Skimming through the file, he found nothing , he was confused but decided that it might just be plain luck. Sewo2 then used his outer space device , this was his first time using any device so he was excited.
Suddenly the item started to shake and started floating , it then projected some thoughts into Sewo2's mind. Sewo2 heard" Are you the new user of the Outer Space ? Please state your name , master and while you are at it , kindly give me a name as well."
Sewo2 was surprised, it was a talking device , he panicked , but seeing as there were no more thoughts being projected he realised that maybe it was how these devices marked their user and was a built in feature for all of them.
Sewo2 states his name. He decided to call the outer space by a short name so it's easier for him, he decided to call it Void.
The device then appreciated Sewo2 for the name and then binded itself to Sewo2 completely getting absorbed.
Then suddenly Sewo2 gained knowledge on how to use the device and he called it's name Void , to open up the dimension, he stored his sword and the clothes in the 2 chests and placed them into void.
He registered the 2nd device to his name as well and called it FoodGood.
He then went straight to bed and slept peacefully, he woke up 11 hours later at 9 am and then exited his room and signed off from the inn.
He visited a few shops to buy some items, like a compass , a sleeping mat and some nice sandals . He was now all set and ready to start his adventure. He wanted to acquire weapons and hain fighting experience so he could get better with the sword, he wanted to collect all of the items he had marked as much needed.
Sewo2 made his way out of the slums in his bad clothes and then slowly made his way out of the village from the back gates , where there was an unguarded entrance , a crack in the wall.
Sewo2 decided that he should head North from the village as the village was on the southmost part of the country .
