As I walk around the first steps the area where the game truly begins and you're not getting curve stomped by a grafted Scion as I look around I noticed it looked a lot different from the game particularly that from this vantage point I could tell this land or the section of the land between it is about 10 times bigger than in game which meant that I would be having a lot more fun exploring and there could be new locations they delve into which I was all cool for I looked down noticing I had armor in my inventory I put it on and I look like prototype Arthur from fate which I was cool with. I'm strong as I stepped down and started walking towards the first church as I noticed I had my red and blue flasks same amount as in the game which I simply just nodded my head because that was great. Though I am curious am I in the era before the shattering or am I in the event of the game. Soon that would be answer when I came across the town full of people who didn't look like emaciated husks. I began walking through the town and many of the people look scared. The only fair thanks to the great rune and my weapon leaking an aura of destined death. Most people would be scared of me though they can't see the great rune engraved into my chest but because of it I was significantly more taller than most people in fact my status basically shows me as a demigod just like Godrick. So I guess I would pass as some random spawn of Queen America and well seeing a demigod walk through your town would scare anyone. So I also did notice I had wolf ears and tails so I'm assuming that I would be considered one of malekith's pups which I was cool with on so many levels I'm a giant wolf boy with fluffy ears in a fluffy tail and I got a badass sword about the size of a standard human I am living a dream and I just started this life.
I saw one of the soldiers who bared no insignia approached me shakily.
??????:"Holt what is your business within this town"
I'm going to chuckle as I lean down to look the guard in the eyes as I decided to abandon my own name and choose a brand new one based off my appearance after all.
"You may call me Arthur Pendragon. I'm a wandering warrior I guess you could say if you have any problems outside of town needing dealt with just give me a call."
I chuckled and I considering this guard a threat one I about three times his height which he looks like the average of what was considered above average on Earth which is considered average or below average here. Not to mention he had no muscles and I had 20 and all stats. And from the little knowledge I have about the lure the average spreadsheet of normal mortals was at highest they would have 5 to 10 in their stats. Will most of their stats being fives with some above five and with their highest at best being 10. Well vice versa a demigod no matter how diluted the blood will have a bare minimum 20 in their stats and with their highest being to my knowledge 30 to 40. Those surprisingly my runes to upgrade even one stat point is about as equivalent as if you were a wretch so I could level up pretty damn quickly. But as I exited my musings I noticed the soldier seem to give my words some thought as he began to spoke.
?????"well I am Jack songtied it's nice to meet your acquaintance Arthur Pendragon. In about work we have a few cases of bandits infesting the areas outside of the villages and including stormville Castle and other forts since the capital does not send much forces here to help keep the peace only the bare minimum to keep the towns safe."
Hearing this I immediately knew I was at the point in time before the shattering because believe it or not the Lord that all is golden even though he was a wretch had at least enough common Sense was to deal with the bandits and funny enough most of them became Grafton monsters yes but he still took care of the problem that played his people but when he ran out bandits he started turning to the people themselves I'm so killing him as soon as possible so I can get the anchor rune. Plus five to all of my stats overall shoot say less that mean that bare minimum at level one I would have 25 all across the board. I looked at the night as I nodded my head as response.
"I'm assuming there is a bounty for bandits I claim after all no work no matter how incident comes free in this world?"
Jack nodded his head without batting an eyelash understanding my point definitely and he seem to already expect it as well.
Jack:"yes you'll get a hundred runes per head of a bandit you bring and that's just a common bandits you'll get a thousand for any of the bandits heading the fortresses and for their big boss goondeer. That would be 10,000 ruins since he's been causing trouble not just for a Lengrave but for the lands between all around. "
I simply nodded my head at Jack as I grab the hilt of my blade with a wolfish grin.
"Sure I'll start hunting bandits in the morning traveling all day does make one wish to rest though I'll be staying on the outskirts in case bandits attack at night never know when people get desperate they do crazy things"
As I said this he jack seemed to not his head at this understanding my point as I walked away heading to the edge of town pointing towards stormville Castle since this area had the most amount of soldiers from the capital they seem to not really care about the town whatsoever there was only one knight amongst them and I could tell as soon as they go and gets tough he would run without batting an eyelash Leaving this town to defend itself.
I stayed silent as mostly soldiers could see me just standing guard in case bandits attack as I open the interface I took a good look at my representation in my stats I look like artorias the abyss Walker from dark souls or at least that's what my armor looks like. Though it has been modified to accommodate my wolf features such as my ears and tail. I guess I truly am the wolf knight now. It was a few hours before I noticed it became daylight nodding my head I got up from where I was sitting with my hand on my sword and walking out to the wilds simply too well butcher bandits to take their heads to get paid after all there's no reason just to massacre an entire village for some measly ruins especially when I am planning to take over lengrave and have it for my own personal territory and after all one man can be a Lord but without an army they could never protect the people that they rule over. I want quietly through the forest as I noticed a group of guys laughing and kicking someone who was on the ground as I move forward I noticed one disturbing thing it was a woman protecting a small bundle in her arms. My eyes narrowed as I draw my blade as it released a slight trace of destined death. As I walk forward I noticed the group of men seem to stiffen as they look around until they saw me a man three times their size walking to them slowly with a blade that was emitting a black and red energy in thin streams off of it.
"Disgusting wretches"
That's all I say is I run forward but heading all five of the men as I look down I noticed the woman was carrying an omen child or rather infant. I could tell it was an omen from its horns I quietly shaved my sword and kneeled down as I gently grab the child from her as she weekly tries retrieve the child I put it in my arm making sure the child was secure as I picked up the woman it started heading back after using my inventory to store the five separate heads.
"Tell me why do you carry this child?"
I didn't have anything against the omen I wasn't a follower of the golden order nor do I believe it was right to discriminate against these creatures because of how they looked if they became mass murderer sure I would put them down but an infant no I would never discriminate against one even if it was the child of the enemy I had just killed I would not discriminate against it.
The woman spoke with a a quiet voice and she gently reached out for her baby.
?????:"she is my baby no matter what a mother will always love their children."
Hearing this I couldn't help but smile as I relive some of my more pleasant memories with my own mother from my past life even if I was a deadbeat she always loved me always cared for me always supported me.
