NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Arkhaim Town
It's been 3 days since I escaped the disaster scene, I flew during the day and rest during the night, with the Online Shopping skill I can order fast food and fill my stomach during the journey.
I wanted to try to buy fresh ingredients and cook it myself, unfortunately, I didn't have time for it because the danger of this forest compelled me to move faster during the journey.
Even I didn't have time to hunt for leveling up my level, after 3 days I started to meet small fries monster like orc or goblin in the way, and realize I was already in the boundary area of the forest.
I see the silhouette of some large town far away while I was flying. I wanted to go there faster but stopped because my clothing was really conspicuous for the people of this world.
Now, I really wanted to take a bath! like, seriously, I already really uncomfortable without taking a bath for 4 days after coming to this world.
[there is some large town over there,.. it's around 10 kilometers from here?
It will be better to take a bath on the river somewhere first.. this disgusting sticky sweat is really unbearable!]
[river... river... there you go!]
I look around for a river flowing nearby and started to dive down there
[hmm... there are no people around right?? yoshaa!! Let's buy some toiletries with online shopping! mwehehehe I can take bath with soap and shampoo from earth! this skill is really convenient! oh yes! I need a towel and toothbrush, don't forget the toothpaste! ]
[Online Shopping!]
TRING
with online shopping skill, I started buying whatever I need and went to the river bank to take shower, with liquid soap from earth, a lot of foam started to pop out and I feel comfortable, after that, I started brushing my teeth.
While brushing my teeth I saw my own reflection from the water and feel something is not right!
When I live on earth I have black hair, and a standard face that you cannot call me handsome nor ugly, and my body is normal, not skinny nor fat.
But the reflection I saw now is not the same thing as my past appearance when I still on earth, I still have the same black hair but for some reasons, my face became sharper, look a little more handsome and younger, my body looked perfectly sculpted with the right amount of balance muscle, it's not too stocky but beautifully sturdy, more importantly! my eyes became golden and the pupil looks like a lizard! yes! It's a dragon eye!!
I started focusing on my eyes and the stripe-like lizard pupil became a normal pupil, even tho the color is still golden.
[Awesome!!! what the heck!! is this really my appearance now??! somehow I look really young! 17 or maybe 18? whatever, I think with this face I will not have a problem building my harem hehehehe... but still... is this the effect of dragonkin skill? my eyes look like Gerald from the wit**cher! should I start to introduce myself as Alex of Rivia ?? it's sound cringe tough... haa... luckily I can change it back to normal eye]
[But the skill I copy really affected me, come to think of it, back then when I got the sword mastery skill I can perfectly handle and control my swords like a veteran..]
[this world system is really magical, it feels like playing a VR game.. but after feeling it myself I think this is a real world]
[better finish my shower now and change my cloth for that adventurer brought in the storage bag. I have to blend myself into this world now]
I finished brushing my teeth and start to come out from the riverbank, I dry myself with the towel I buy from online shopping and dress in the common clothing the adventurer brought, it's a little off for my size though.
After all of it, I started to flew while activated absolute stealth skill toward the town.
.

In front of the town gate, there are a lot of people queue to enter the town. the guard started checking people who will enter the town.
I saw a lot of carriages brought something, I couldn't see it because apparently, they covered the luggage with some rug. I deactivated my absolute stealth skill in the place where no one else saw me and walk to the most back of the queue.
I saw a lot of people from another race like Beastman, Elf, and even Dwarf, some people dress like an adventurer and some like commoner that travel from far away to this city, I saw that traveler got out from the carriage and start queuing in the back
'hmm... does the one in the carriage is a merchant? these sure really feel like medieval fantasy! more importantly!! that Elf is really beautiful!! and that catgirl is really cute too! Isekai hurrayy!!! ah is that little loli a dwarf?? if weebs saw them they sure call it legal loli'
I started soliloquy inside my head, I didn't want people to look at me weirdly if I talked some incomprehensible thing after all!
after waiting around half an hour, this time is my turn. The guard started looking at me
[Do you have an adventurer card or introduction paper?]
[N-no I don't.. I came from the countryside, I want to become an adventurer but my parents forbid me after that I run away from home]
[What a reckless kid! anyway put your hand in this crystal, if you have a criminal job I will arrest you here! so better don't lie kiddo!]
After asking me for the introduction paper, the guard took a crystal ball the same size as a volleyball from his guard mates. Apparently, after I hear people murmuring you need an introduction letter if you are a commoner from another town or village, and if you are an adventurer you will need your guild card to enter. in my case, I could enter the town after they check if I have a criminal job or not.
I put my hand in the crystal as it started shining with white light.
[umu, you can enter after you pay 1 silver coin, don't forget to register to adventurer guild after you enter!! kids these days sure is reckless, anyway, it's not my business, but don't make a ruckus in the town or I will beat you up!]
[yes sir!]
after I pay 1 silver coin, I walked to enter the gate while the guard looking at me and started smiling
[welcome to the Arkhaim Town!]
The first town I visit in another world!! I am really excited!!
