5 The start of the end?

It's a new day and we decided to leave the country. We got intel that in this country only humans were seen as right and the other species are generally seen as slaves. So we have 2 objectives: one, to find a mountain so that we can open our own sect and two to find a partner. The Commander found out that the System gives us the Immortal lifespan. And if we do a specific ritual our partner will have it too. And our children will have longevity, so we won't have too much sadness. Our commander is so wise, he already found out that there is a land called the 'Holy Mountains of Death' where there are exactly such mountains as we want. The 'of Death' part comes from the miasma around these mountains, almost every living being dies if they breathe it. But Demon Eyes says that we should be safe with our helmets. And to make it even better these mountain ranges are in the middle of the sea, with the continents around it. There is land around the 'Holy Mountains of Death' which doesn't have the deadly miasma. And of course, there are people making a living there. So we just grab a ship that's going there and go from the port. Maybe we even find ourselves a wife/husband on the way? Nah, that's probably wish-thinking of me...and the rest.

But there is one thing we all wonder about: What do we do now?

We don't want to repeat our previous lives, we feel like we became old, even if it's just in our minds.

And so here we are: On a ship that's heading towards the port of 'Calcusia Town'. It's the port city near the mountain ranges. We didn't encounter anything too troublesome. Just some bandits that were killed easily. This world is so interesting. It's just like those medieval fantasy novels that we all love. Magic is something special but not something too rare. This world doesn't have any firearms and the beasts we encountered...well, they were fantastic. The other travelers were shocked when they saw our reaction. I think they thought we were some amazing fighters and it didn't fit into the picture if we escalate over a goblin or some horned rabbit. Of course, we couldn't tell them that we weren't of this world. Another thing to talk about is the weapons. Apparently, it's like in a game with weapon cooldowns...we don't have to worry about ammunition. But we didn't want to use our weapons unless it's impossible to avoid. So we all got what suits us the best: Forest Tree has two daggers and hidden weapons, those are mostly used for traps. Demon Eyes got himself a bow and a crossbow. Brute fights with a hammer. Black Iron uses her bare fists. I now have a sword.

We look like mercenaries with strange black armor. And our commander changed her outfit a bit so one can see her tattoos. Even if our looks are...interesting, we don't care. If we find our future partner they will have to accept every part of us. So we enjoy this boat tour.
