Trencai

When Ren reach the portal area he discovers a large group of people doing a queue.

"Hello, can you explain me for what is the queue", Ren said.

"Hello, I see you are coming late as well, this queue is for receiving the starter pack before we enter the portal", a young man said.

"starter pack?", Ren ask with a puzzle face.

"that is how the rest of the people is calling it, apparently the people of the world is sponsoring our ingress to they world, you just have to specified if what kind of life you pretend to have to receive one pack or another, obviously if you pick something relate to fight you will receive a better pack, but if you want you can pick something relate to artisan or commerce and there is a starting pack for that to, I heard there is three major faction doing the sponsoring so you have to choose that as well", the young man explain to Ren with a very eager expression.

"OH there was such a thing, and do you already have some information about these factions?", Ren said

"Not much really, there is Jotun empire, the Rash theocracy, and the Bran free republics, there were some information but I believe the most important thing is that the empire and the theocracy seems to be very focus on race, the empire being home to some reptile and avian species primarily, and the theocracy being home to humanoid species, the republics seems to be more meritocratic but is the less powerful of the factions" the young man accelerate his explanation seems his turn were closing and his enthusiasm were to the roof.

Ren were having a hard time processing the situation, there were too few information to make a decision so quick, it was obvious that the condition of the place he pick will greatly affect his future lifestyle.

When he was close to the area he observes the group of people of the other world.

The first group he sees where obviously from the Jotun empire, there were a group of heavy armored lizard men, the smallest one measures approximately 2 meters meanwhile the highest measure 3 meter, and there were some aviar people doing the register, they were much smaller they size being equal to human size in average, the aviar people being similar in faction to human but having wing and feather.

The second group was the theocracy, this group where compose mostly for what seems to be elf, they were all slender, about a 1.8 meter in height with pointy ears and aquiline nose, their clothing which looked very ceremonial betrayed them as members of a cult, with them was a group of dwarfs with hard features and normal clothes doing the procedures.

The last group were the Republic, this group was very diverse, I included some members of the previous races but also new ones, like people with green skin who seemed to be orcs or goblins, the one in charge of this particular group appear to be a woman that appear to be a harpy.

The different faction was all giving the same pack, a ring, different amount of pills depending of your career choice, and a stone with a unique symbol depending of the faction you chose.

The language that they speak was unintelligible to the people until they use the ring, but Ren was able to understand they all when they speck, when he realizes this the first thing he do was look to his own ring with a puzzle face, when he inspects the situation further he realizes there was something with the stone.

The people that receive the stone has to make an oath in strange words, words that neither even with the translation of his own ring doesn't have any sense, the strangest thing was that after the oath, the stone pulverize and a light enter the body of the person, the explanation of the Trencai folk was that the oath was to prevent the betray of the earth people after enter they lands with the ability bestowed by themselves.

That explanation was logic but Ren have a very repulsive sensation every time he see someone doing the oath, his ring and earring make some pulses, it was obvious to Ren that the oath was something nefarious, alongside that realization the façade that these strange people put that they were helping fall apart really quickly, Ren understood that there must be something going on behind the scenes.

When there were few people until him, he starts to walk away to a portal that was smaller than the one the Trencai folk come from, they quickly notice this and try to talk to Ren, who obviously decide to ignore them.

The leader of the empire makes a grunt to some of his people in the back, and two heavy soldier nod to him and follow Ren after he have entered the portal.

When Ren cross the portal he felt that he suddenly has in zero g, the scenery in from of him change very quickly, depicting the planet earth, suddenly he starts to accelerate and the rest of the planet and steroid of the solar system start to pass him off, quickly getting out of the system going through the next, then accelerating more and more, galaxy passing by for a long time until he starts to having some headache, when the headache was getting unbearable, suddenly everything get to and standstill, Ren take a few moments to recover himself and then start to look around.

The scenery was that of a medieval town, he was in a square and the building around were make of stone, these seems sturdy and were very beautiful and impotent.

There were a lot of pedestrian moving close to the building and carriage that were drawn with animals that seems like horses

The square was very chaotic whit so much people and carriage circulating.

After looking around Ren spotted some people that looks like an old elf and start to walk toward she.

"Hello granny can I bother you with a few question".

"ara ara, I don't remember have such a handsome grandson", the old lady said with a giggle, "before you go around asking old ladies you should introduce yourself young man"

"Oh sorry about that, I am Ren and come from the earth, I don't understand to well what happen to my world but I have to migrate here in a rush so I don't know much about the situation here", Ren explain to the old lady.

"Ohhh so that happen to you, what a pity, my name is Rowana, let me give you a quick overview of this world, there is three mayor faction: The Jotun empire, the Rash theocracy, and the Bran free republics, these factions are not solid structure, everyone is composing of a centenary of sub-faction of various sizes and influence, and they are distribute as diamond, to the west the Empire, at the north the republics and to the east the theocracy, at the south there use to be other big faction but they overall structure fall some centuries ago, at the center of diamond there is a lake, thought the lake is so big that it seems that it is a big ocean, the three big faction are supposed to be in peace but with so much sub-faction the conflicts some time are inevitable" Rowana explain very patiently to Ren, taking some time to seep water at this point, "if you are new it is best if you find a guild to join to get yourself a job to start over new, there is the artisan guild, the farmer guild, the adventurer guild and the scholars guild, they are all located in another square down this street, by the way you are in the free city of Vogur in the southern frontier of the Jotun empire"

Ren finally have a clearer picture of this world, he exchanges some pleasantry with the old lady and after some time say good bye and headed towards the guild square, when he was midway there suddenly someone pull him to a sideway, and start to punch and kick him, the beating was so savage that he quickly lost consciousness.

After some time, he regains some consciousness and the paint of the beating start to assault all of his sense, he realizes that he was in a cart and his hands and feet were tied, there were other people with him, all of them with torn clothes and obvious signs of having suffered a beating.

After some time one of the other passenger that doesn't look like he receives a brutal beating speak to Ren.

"Hi friend, we all have been sale to the slaver guild of the black widow, I recommend you that behave or all of us will pay the price"

The consternation was visible in all the other passenger.
