I woke up in my bed.....
Body heavy from the laziness manifesting from the melting warmth, heat and cosiness from my bed. I stood up finally after 25 mins of contemplating my below average life, as i got up the wooden floor creaked and I looked outside, peering into the world. Paths made of cobblestone, wooden houses scattered and off in the distance, miles away the higher class lived and I saw the massive mansions made of various materials, first it was stone but as you went further and further the materials got more valuable, marble, diamond and some even covered by platinum. However I shouldn't get ahead of myself wanting to own and live there that is another reality, for those wealthy, nobles and royalty drenching in there own filth made out of enchanted mithril and pure blood rubies with no regards to those below them and no grip on reality either for us. As I look around from my window I see more of us commoners, well obviously. We maybe different races, human, high elves, dark elves, dwarf, demon, demi human, lizardmen, potarians, bugmen, seraphites whatever, where all the same in class and sure we have a few conflicts here and there but it's ultimately the top controlling us, although high elves are normally rich its whatever. Anyway enough bullshit wonderless thinking time for the most important meal of the day and too feed the soul (I say gluttonously smiling like a Moran as i head my big back downstairs.)
"Mama I want 3 fried eggs"
"Bane you fat fuck, do you think eggs are free?" She says angrily and full of concern.
"Mama im not even fat tho????" I say pouting. (My moms name is Elara) "Tch, go sell some oil pots i bought yesterday, in the mean time ill cook you something up, also Bane don't forget to actually do something with your life, your now 18, go out there and get a job or you'll stuck being a bum for the rest of your life." Elara said with a lot of worry, love and potent, painful truth. So I carry two pots of oil and a few essentials and head out.
I sigh as I finally reach the market stalls, full of different things people are selling. From vials of crimson slime essence to a literal bottle of dragon shit. I set up my little floor market placing my blanket down and the 2 bottles of oil. My mom, Elara had bought these 2 bottles while travelling the east, up here north there pretty rare and valuable so it will make a couple silver crowns (The currency) maybe 2 each. After setting up i sit down and now for the main part, waiting for someone to come. Since oil is pretty much in serious demand i got someone come immediately. She was a dark elf, average height with a sort of black and purple dress covering her from her neck to ankles and as well as a steel breastplate, gauntlets and greaves and a bow that seemed to be crafted from elder darkwood. As anyone could probably assume she was an adventurer and this confirmed from the small rectangluar copper, no bigger then 5cm by 5 with 2 lines carved into it with some brown string that made it into a necklace. A copper rank 2 adventurer to be exact. She had long dark purple hair that went to her waist and 2 sorta cute pigtails on her head and quite a pretty face clear and milk chocolate brown she was like 4"11 so definitely on the younger side and you can confirm an elf being younger or not (no matter dark or high) by the lines on her cheek, each line meant a hundred years old and there was only 1. "Hey those are bottles of oil right?" Said the dark elf
"What are you staring at? you high on something?" she said with malice "Oh so sorry um, yeah 2 bottles of oil 2 silver crowns each" I said quickly and dazed. "2 Silver crowns? you must be out of your damn mind these are like 1 max" she said "Yeah but you wont get these at that price unless you in the middle east and over here there normally 5 each so stop showing me attitude and buy them or piss off, will you?" i say precariously. She throws me the money takes the bottles and storms off. "Kek sold this shit quick" I say as i gleefully walk off home, I stop and look at the adventurer guild...
I was never a big fan, oh yeah so cool lets go become adventurers become rich become heroes and fuck a lot of bitches and shit yeah so cool, I thought to myself sarcastically. I knew reality was it was all just a façade to join there guild for them to make some profit. However my mothers words stung in my heart and brain. Stomach churning knowing I have nothing and needed to do something. "Sigh well shit.. ill go sign up then."
