“...Ok?”

  ‘...Sigh…’

  “Hello Isoide. How are you doing?”

  “I’m absolutely great! Did you know that there is a mountain that houses a ghost of the great Lasingoret, whom was a grand master in the art of ‘Efficient kills’. It is said that anyone that can beat Lasingoret in a race gets the skill from him.”

  “That’s… great. But I would rather learn some basic skills from you at the moment.”

  “Fred, You are the nicest person ever. I can’t imagine someone more respectful than you.”

  “This is ridiculous. Isoide, I can’t leave the city for 2 weeks, so I can’t help you at the moment. However, I would like to learn some skills from you now when I can. Alright?”

  This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

  “I see. What do you want to know?”

  ‘You sure got over that crying phase fast.’ “What can you teach me?”

  “‘Running’.”

  “What is ‘Running’?”

  “You sure is a great friend, but not the most clever.

  Eh-Hem. Running is the act of moving your feet at an accelerated pace to advance faster in a direction of your choosing. You can, however, change the direction you are going in by turning your body in the new direction you want to go in.”

  “...Is this a skill?”

  “Of course not. I am telling you how you perform the action called ‘run’.”

  “Just teach me the skill.”

  “Fine. But be warned, using powers like these without knowing about the specifics can harm you.”

  ‘This is not going well! If this continues I will be absolutely ridiculous when I leave the city!’

  “Oh no~. Look at the time. I totaly must leave right at this moment. I’m terribly sorry, but there is nothing I can do about it. So bye. I will probably see you soon again.”

  “Oh. Farewell dear friend. I too hope to see you soon. May Goddess Astar see to your safety on your travels in the realm of glory.”

  “Sure. You too.”

  “I didn’t know you were a follower Astar?”

  “...I sure am.”

  “I must leave.”

  Fred rushes out the door, flailing his arms around in an attempt to avoid more praise from Isoide.

  “I must hide! The tavern seems as good a place as any other.”

  ‘First day is almost over. Just 4 more hours. This place has some rather great drinks, wonder what that is? ‘Breath of the frozen forest’. Sounds great. I would have one if it didn’t cost 450 gold!

  Where do I even get gold?

  All I have is Amber. What is Amber even worth in the first place?’

  “Info: Balls of Amber.”

  “Worth nothing then...By the way, I got a legendary skill. What is a legendary skill?”

  “At least it isn’t viewable for everyone who wants to see. To buy a drink I need money, where can I receive some minor quests?”

  “Then there shall I now go.”

  “...I’ll go find something else to do.”
