After walking for minutes, I arrived at the village. Fortunately, they didn't ask me for documents or anything like that to enter, I just walked in. It doesn't have walls, so I don't think this village suffers attacks from monsters.
Oh. I see many people with armor, weapons, and various beautiful girls. Exaggeratedly beautiful and erotic. Wow. They really like to show skin. I would feel nervous at such a sight, but I am so amazed to be in a magical world that I don't have time to feel nervous about it.
The village is huge, there are several food and fruit stalls. There are also stalls where they sell jewelry and weapons... A typical and cliché medieval village.
It even smells bad. Do people bathe every day? I doubt it. No offense, but this place looks quite... wild.
"Do you smell that, Daniel? Clichés from an isekai story... Will I be the protagonist or an important secondary character? Maybe I'll be a filler character... I'll discover my role over time."
God sent me, but I won't be egotistical. I must always be prepared for any surprises, including being a simple filler character.
The village is really cute and interesting. People look friendly. I thought it would be more savage or violent, but it's very nice.
"Great. The place looks very cute," I said as I walked among the people.
Oh, wow.
I see a sign on the door of a house, the writing is very strange, they are like numbers, but a little different. It's hard to explain... One of the letters looks like the number 2, but with two small circles in the middle.
Should I learn their writing and language? Well, God gave me a great memory, I don't think I'll have any problems learning at least the basics.
"Although I can't read, their writing is very different from mine... Will I understand their language...? God didn't say anything about it."
I need to get some answers.
I concentrate and listen to several voices around me.
"Sandro? Did he really do that?" said a girl.
"It's incredible!" said a girl, excited.
Girls talking about someone named Sandro. Yes, I understand the language.
I sigh with relief. I won't have any problems communicating with others. That will save me a lot of time and effort.
"They speak the same language as me... I guess I have to find people who know how to use magic, to teach me how to use it."
I hope they don't charge me, and if they do, I'll have to get a job.
Mmm... Where will I find the people I need? I guess asking around would help.
I see someone in a black armor walking and I approach him. He's wearing armor, he must know what I want to find.
"Excuse me, do you know where the people who know magic gather?"
"People who know magic? I guess you want to go to the Adventurer's Guild. It's that place with that blue flag."
Oh, an adventurer's guild. That's what I need.
He extends his index finger and points to the guild. The guild is a four-story building... It looks cute, as it's painted black. It's small, but I guess it's not the main guild of this country.
The man's voice is very thick and sounds somewhat strange. Being close to him, I can feel some heat. A true adventurer... Great! If I weren't busy, I'd ask him for an autograph.
"Thank you very much, sir. I appreciate it."
I'm heading towards the guild... Okay... They speak the same language as me... I won't have communication problems.
"They speak the same language as me, but their writing is different... Why?"
Maybe God has something to do with this. Maybe he gave me the ability to understand the language as if it were mine or something like that.
... Hmm... There's something bothering me.
I can tell that many people are staring at me strangely as I walk.
Have they realized that I'm not from this place? Do I look like a tourist?
I'm used to women staring at me, but this is weirder.
"Do I look weird?"
I hope I'm not bothering the people in this town. The fewer enemies I have, the better.
Okay, I'm standing in front of the guild. Okay, Daniel, don't be afraid. I know you're in an unknown place, but don't worry, you have God on your side. Don't be afraid and go in.
I took a deep breath and sighed... Alright... I'm ready.
I enter the guild and look around. More than a guild, it looks like a bar.
There are tables where adventurers eat and drink together. I guess it's also a restaurant.
There are adventurers who look very strong because of their huge muscles... Oh... Most of the adventurers turn to look at me and watch me with expressions of hate.
Why do they see me like that? Do I look like a bad person?
Their looks make me nervous... Why do they hate me? They barely know me.
Could they be xenophobic and hate me for being different? No, we're not different, we're similar humans. It's impossible for them to know that I'm not from this country. Could it be because of my clothes? I doubt it. God gave me clothes, I don't think he would have given them to me if they were going to cause problems. There must be another reason.
"W-wow. I-I think they don't like me."
It's better to investigate as quickly as possible, I don't want to have problems with anyone.
I see a girl sitting at a desk... Oh, she's so beautiful. The girl has long red hair and red eyes. She wears a red dress and has a red ribbon around her neck. Too much red. Next to the girl there are 5 other women, sitting at desks. I think they are guild employees.
This world is very different from mine, and I don't just mean the existence of magic, but also hair color.
Now that I think about it, the people in this world are very different from those in my world.
I look around and see people with hair of different colors. There are adventurers with white, red, green, etc. hair.
"Am I the only one with black hair?"
That would explain why they hate me. Are people with black hair looked down upon?
Better not to dwell on that, I have a more important matter to resolve.
I approach the girl, who I assume is a guild employee.
"Excuse me, miss, I'm looking for people who know magic."
My question confused her a bit, I can tell because she looked at me in silence for a few seconds, as if she were analyzing my question.
"Eh...? People who know magic?" She said, while looking at me with a confused expression.
Yes, she's definitely confused.
The girl is looking at me too much with that expression. I feel like an idiot.
I couldn't help but get nervous... Did I say something weird?
"Y-yes, people who know magic, please."
"All the adventurers here know how to use magic," she said, with a small laugh.
I laugh nervously... Yes, I figured... I think I look like a fool.
I thought it would be a cliché world where few people are capable of using magic.
"Well, well... I see..."
"Do you want to register or do you want to request the services of an adventurer?"
To register... I think I need money for that... That's right... I don't have any money! I need money to survive... What should I do?
I promised to do what it takes to accomplish my mission, but I don't know if I'm capable of selling my body just to get money.
If the curse of not being able to find a job still holds true in this world, I must resort to selling my body to survive.
I hope I don't reach that extreme.
"I don't have any money to register, but thank you."
I smile to show my gratitude. I must not behave rudely to anyone in this place. One mistake and I'm a dead man.
... That expression on her... That girl is looking at me with a blush on her face... Ahhhhhhhh! I forgot about the effect I have on women!
"I-if you don't have any money, we'll charge you through work, don't worry."
Oh, they're offering me work to pay for the registration.
I think I can accept it... Yes, I'll accept it. I need the money to survive in this world, and a job wouldn't hurt.
I need to feed myself to have enough energy to keep going.
"Then I'll go register. Thank you."
I hope the registration doesn't require official documents from the country, I'm an illegal in this country.
"Please, could you tell me what type of magic you have?"
Mmm... A classic question.
Ay... I don't like to lie, besides she has magic, she can probably detect lies. If she finds out I'm lying, they won't give me the job... I must tell the truth.
Besides, I promised my grandmother to always tell the truth, and I'm not going to break my promise.
"I suppose I have all types of magic."
"What?!"
The girl stood up surprised... Did I say something so strange?
"Having all types of magic?!" She said, with a tone of surprise.
All the adventurers are staring at me... Is that weird? If so, I wonder how weird it is.
"Is it weird to have all types of magic?"
"No one can have all types of magic, it's impossible!"
No one? Well, well... God gave me something great.
"Impossible?"
"Please, put your hand on this sphere!"
On the desk there's a crystal sphere... I suppose it measures my magical power.
Ah, I knew lying would be bad. Thank you for teaching me to never lie, grandmother.
Anyway, they were going to discover my types of magic with this sphere.
I'm confused, but I decide to obey her.
"Which hand?"
"Whichever, it doesn't matter!"
I put my right hand on the sphere.
"Please wait!"
I'm a rare existence in this world, eh?
Ah, I suspect that will bring me problems.
A minute passes and, out of nowhere, a card comes out of the sphere and the girl takes it.
Wow, a sphere that creates cards. Does it include my personal information and my magical attributes?
"Daniel Conde. Age, 16 years old. Types of magic..."
The girl's eyes widen. Uwaaaah! That scared me!
Isn't she exaggerating?!
"All of them?!" she shouted, surprised and scared.
"All of them?!" the adventurers around me shouted afterwards.
Everyone screams and stares at me. The faces of the adventurers change; before they looked at me with hatred, now they observe me with fear.
I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that they fear me, but I suppose it's good. I prefer that they fear me rather than hate me.
"I guess that's good," I said, nervously smiling.
"But it's impossible! How can you achieve that?!" the girl exclaimed, confused.
"The thing is that..."
I receive a call. Is it God again? Did he forget something?
"What's that sound?" the girl asks, confused.
"Excuse me," I say as I take out my phone.
Everyone looks at me strangely. I guess phones don't exist here. I'm in a typical magical world without technology. Cliché.
I suppose phones don't exist in this world.
I answer the call and put the phone to my right ear.
"Hello? Is something wrong?"
"You are forbidden from telling anyone what's happening. Make something up, but don't say I sent you, let alone anything about the demon that will destroy the world."
Well, keeping that secret will be a little easy. I just have to avoid talking about it.
I don't want to lie; my grandmother didn't raise a liar. I'll only lie when it's really necessary.
"Okay, don't worry," I say before hanging up and putting my phone in my pocket.
Ah... Well...
"What did I say?" I ask the girl, looking her in the eyes.
Looking people in the eyes is something my grandmother taught me because it shows confidence, although I feel uncomfortable when she looks at me with fear.
"What is that?" she asks, still confused.
Phones don't exist here... I have two theories.
The first: In a world with magic, technology cannot exist.
The second: It's a simple coincidence.
Digging too much into the lack of technology won't do me any good except satisfy my curiosity, so I'll only investigate when I have free time. The main thing is to investigate demons and magic in general... Magic... Oh, grandmother, what mess have I gotten myself into?
"It's a phone."
"A phone?"
"I can't say anything else, I'm sorry. Is the registration finished?"
"Y-yes. Welcome to the 'Golden Dragon' guild."
A dragon... Do dragons exist?! I can't wait to meet one. I hope they're friendly and don't try to eat me.
"Thank you. I appreciate it," I say as she hands me my card.
Hmm... It has strange letters... I don't understand anything, although I admit the design is cute. It has a golden dragon drawn on it.
"M-my name is Grey. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask," she says kindly.
How nice of her, and I'll take her up on that offer in the future. I'll need a lot of help later on.
Grey... A nice name, but it doesn't match her appearance.
"Thank you very much, Grey. How do I pay? What exactly do I have to do?"
"W-when you finish a mission, the registration fee will be deducted from your reward."
Oh, I see, I see. I have to finish a mission to get my reward. I need money, so I have to do a mission as soon as possible.
I suppose I'll start from the lowest rank and only take low-ranking missions. Easy missions that won't give me much money, but you have to start somewhere.
"Thank you," I say as more people line up behind me. I don't want to waste any more of her time.
