3 The First Day

Mark awoke, the sun blaring through the wooden window to his side. He looked around the room at all of the wooden furniture that lay in it. There was a small desk and chair, cheaply made against the far wall opposite him. There was a large closet for his clothes tilting to its side on the left of his bed, next to it was a full length mirror with a brass rim. The Bed was as he imagined, built from straw and wood and was pushed against the window of the room.

There was a metal bucket at the end of his bed which he assumed must be the toilet. He didn't know what era or what place he was in, but he new he had to grasp it with both hands. His belly rumbled and he really wanted to head to Michelle's stall for his breakfast, he knew he couldn't. He wondered if she would miss him and their daily chats. Would he have got that promotion?

He stood up and stretched his back, walking towards the mirror that was next to the cupboard. He looked at himself and was relieved, he was still the same Mark. He was of an average height, around 5ft10, with had an athletic build. He had mid length Black hair that was slicked back with some form of product. He was clean shaven and had dark blue eyes. He was around 30 years old and his skin seemed flawless.

He exhaled in relief as he recognised himself, and headed towards the closet. He opened it up and it was full of clothes that were made to fit him. There were multiple options, from summer clothes through to winter.

He grabbed a white shirt and black pants that were flared at the bottom. The shirt was buttoned to the top with a short collar. He also found some black boots that looked like something a pirate would have worn.

Mark looked back at his reflection to see how he looked like in his clothes.

Mark was confused, where was this random text appearing from. As if it had read his mind, another notification appeared.

System Notification:

Good Morning Mark, I am the Wheel of Life System Notifier, or W.L.S.N for short. I am here to help you complete your quest. You can upgrade me when you level up. For now I will give you basic information about people that you find. I will occasionally give you missions to help you achieve what you are capable of.

Mark was in shock, he had a system, in his head? The Wheel of Life? Mark was a positive type of person, he acknowledge that he had no understanding of what was happening and would have to just learn to come to terms with it.

"W.L.S.N," Mark asked, "Where am I and why am I here?"

"Mark," replied W.L.S.N, "You are currently in RuneTown, which is on the eastern coast of Greater Finland. Greater Finland is a huge country, split by several warring states. RuneTown is under the ownership of the Honda Clan, as are all of the towns, castles and cities in this area.

The reason you are here, you chose to spin the wheel, and this is what it landed on."

RuneTown? What a stupid name Mark thought. Greater Finland? The Honda Clan?

"I still don't understand?" Mark replied.

"Ok, I feel we aren't getting anywhere. You have reincarnated into another world, we have skipped your mediocre childhood and brought you straight to the age you was before death. You have no family or friends. Karma has asked you to help the people in this world, most who have also reincarnated as you have, they just don't know it. Unite them, create a kingdom of your own, and protect them from the darkness that is due to come."

"What darkness?" Mark asked.

"I don't know, I am just a system notifier, I am not programmed to know, it's just something and its dark?" W.L.S.N replied, "Now stop talking out loud, people will think you are broken."

"Ok W.L.S.N, firstly can I just call you Wilson? like that imaginary friend ball that the stranded man on an island had?" Mark asked.

"Castaway?" Wilson asked. "I mean you can call me what ever you want, I am what I am."

"Ok Wilson, so what is my first mission, what is my quest?"

"Thanks Wilson," Mark replied "I think....."

Mark looked away from the mirror and headed to the door. He grabbed the ornate handle and took a deep breath. He pushed open the door and headed out on to the corridor attached.

The corridor was dimly lit, and had several similar doors adjoining on both sides. At the end of the corridor was a staircase that headed down into the Rupert's Rage Inn. Loud noises came from the stairs, noises of chatter and music.

Mark followed the noise and headed down the stairs into the Inn beneath. What he saw was a large open bar, with over 20 tables dotted around. The Inn was busy, with people talking to each other. In the distance was a Piano being played by a young man.

"What the hell!" Exclaimed Mark, "Beethoven?"

Mark tripped down the last step with a loud bang, he was bewildered by the site of this famous musician, playing the Piano in an Inn. Mark looked across and saw Alicia behind the bar, chatting happily with some punters. She looked across to Mark and frowned.

"So you have a woken Mr Bang Bang," She shouted across to him.

"Oh so this is the noisy fucker!" Exclaimed a gruff looking man next to her.
