I then dashed back 6 kilometers towards where I completed job requests (5) , I then used teleport seal Leaping.

(Leaping-Type of magic -Spatial Translocation(teleporting)

-Hand Touch: The caster must firmly press the palm of their dominant hand onto a stable surface -Range- 10 kilometers )

Location:Somewhere near theTradehavenvillage-

Man what a day , I looked up at the sky it was now late to mid afternoon. I teleported back where I 1st made the Leaping seal.

So I'm not far from the TradeheavenVillage now.

•dash

Location: TradeheavenVillage-

I was just at the front entrance of the village gate where I was then stop by the same guards.

"Stop right there!" (guard 1)

Guard (1.) says.

"State your business!" (guard 2)

Guard (2.) says.

"Job request report."

I said my intention.

"Very well proceed!"

Guard (1.) responded.

I entered the village and made my way over to the village guild Gareth Ironstride.

I opened the front door of the guild, I entered the guild and made my way over to the guild manager.

"ohh.. your back did you not complete the task?"

The guild manger asked slightly confused of my arrival, I then looked over at the clock, it was 2:21 PM I started around 10:30 AM it was about 4 hours ago.

"No I finished them."

I replied to his question.

Guild manager:?!?!

"I completed the job requests."

I stated somewhat puzzled by the facial expression the guild manager gave me.

"C..Can you prove it?"

The guild manager asked me uncertain whether I was capable of doing the task.

I didn't reply I then pulled out the 12 feet tall Oxnoid head out of my Shadow Storage, that was 2 meters long and had Horns 36 inches.

(Shadowstorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)

"This was the job requests that was Rank (A+)"

I then showed him the job request documents.

5.) A singular Oxnoid has been spotted, it's about 10-11 feet tall, in a forest nearby about 5 kilometers Northwest from here.Rank(A+)(Jewels-84,000)

The guild manager fakes his cough by showing his shocked expression then responds

•cough

" I..I S…See."

" I have the other monster job requests limbs too, would you like to see them also."

I stated with the intention of revealing all the monster limbs to prove a point.

" V..Very well, go to the register to my left where you could deposit the monster limbs."

The guild manager said, however before I went to the register ,I then made a suggestion.

"I'll take the (A+) quest reward by keeping the head of the Oxnoid."

I said without a hesitation , I needed these body parts for me to make a sword with at least (A) level material.

"Hmm I guess that's okay, however the other quest will still be as followed."

(Authornote: recall Chapter 19)

"Very well."

I responded as I made my way over to the register guild trading venue.

It had the same Billboard name TanakaTrades-

(Authornote:refer also to chapter 19)

"Welcome young sir."

A young woman about the ages 21 said to me.

I then placed all the monsters body parts confirming my 5 job request being completed.

Man the taxes are a pain half was taken away from me.

Anyway let's go to the new village that I found earlier today. Since the village is about 14 kilometers away from Tradeheaven Village. I might as well teleport towards the mark I left by.

I walked outside the TanakaTrades- Tradestore- then placed my right hand on the ground and casted Leaping seal and teleport towards the mark seal.

(Leaping Type of magic -Spatial Translocation(teleporting):

Hand Touch: The caster must firmly press the palm of their dominant hand onto a stable surface:Range- 10 kilometers.)

Location: somewhere near a village with lots of plains-

I teleport where my seal was placed, I then faced the direction where the village was located it was about 6 kilometers away , the village had lots of plains surrounding it on its side.

•dash

I arrived at the front of the main entrance path of the village, this one didn't have a gate, but did have two guards blocking the entrance path. They where about 5 meters away from me.

I approached them, I was now 2 meters from them.

"Hault!"

Guard (1) says as I stopped in front of them.

"What are your motives at our village!"

Guard (2) question my motives with pure authority persona.

"I'm just traveling and wanted to spend some time in this village."

I said confirming my intentions.

"Very well you may pass"

Guard (2) says with allowing me to pass through.

I walked through the two village guards, who allowed me to pass through them, I then noticed a big sign board as I entered.

[BrightriverVillage]

Location:BrightriverVillage-

This village has a connection through our LakeVillage. The river has a path that connects to our village Lake water.

The village's proximity to a clear river supports irrigation for their fields, allowing for high yields of corn and beans.

So this village is probably a village that benefits from trading food products. Most of the foods that are produced here is food most village and town people would envy.

I then looked around the village and spotted a inn where I headed towards for.

I entered the building then made my way to the register. At the register was a man in his late 30s.

"How much to rent for 1 day?"

I asked the man at the register.

"That would be 600 jewels young sir."

The man at the front desk said.

"Very well here you go."

I said to the man over the register then hand over 600 jewels, that leaves me with 273,950 jewels.

"Here's your room key."

The man at the register handed me room key #10.

I made my towards room #10 , it said the rooms were 70 square feet.

I opened the door to room #10 , yup they were about 70 square feet tall. Okay now that I know what the room looks like , I should go explore the village.

I made it outside the inn and the first thing that popped up in my head was food. Since this village has tons of crops of food, I might as well go eat something freshly cropped ingredients.

5 minutes of looking around-

I was looking around the village, until I spotted a restaurant, I headed inside the restaurant made my way over to a table for two.

I then sat down on one of the two chairs at the table. I looked over the menu it had a variety of foods to choose from. It had grain foods from beans, bread and rice. It also had fresh vegetables to choose from such as potatoes, carrots and onions. It has tons of fishes, poultry and types of meat.

Hmm so many options to choose from.

I then ordered salmon sushi with sukiyaki noodles and a Daikon, potato, taro and awase miso soup. To drink I'll have water.

10 minutes later -

My nose was then covered in all the delicious food that where coming out from the steam of the foods.

•clap

"Itadakimasu!"

I said as I picked up my wooden chopsticks and prepared to dig in.

•much

"So delicious!!"

I said at the wonderful food that I placed into my mouth.

•much

I placed the chopsticks down and reached over the wooden spoon and proceeded to drink some of the miso soup.

•sip

"Mmm.. delicious!"

Now to finish all the food that I ordered.

10 minutes later-

"Aww..Man I'm so full the food here is great."

I said to myself full well knowing I'm going to come back here. The only problem was the bill 2,200 jewels. Well should have known that such fresh food (ingredients) would be this expensive.

Now I'm at 271,750 jewels. Anyway back towards the inn.

Location: Inn room#10-

Now that I'm in the room, I went over to the bathroom and made sure to turn on water for the shower.

10 minutes later-

I finished my shower and went over to the sink and pulled out a toothbrush from my shadowstorage. Then brushed my teeth. Then cleaned my clothes with water with my water manipulation.

(Shadowstorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)

I looked over at the clock it was 6:45 Pm although it's not exactly night time, I feel mentally exhausted and physically exhausted from my whole little adventure. I should get some sleep for now.

Takeshi Haruka POV:

Location: Inn room#10-

It was morning, went over to the bathroom, then picked up the toothbrush that I left here and proceeded to brush my teeth.

5 minutes later-

Location: Outside the Inn building-

Since I have already seen what this village had to offer, I should go back to Tradeheavenvillage and look for bandit job requests.

If not I'll travel somewhere not in the Northern region of Isvan. Since both villages Lakevillage and Tradeheaven village are Northern region of Isvan.
