54100 years

He turns and walks to the checkout looking at the woman trying to work out her possible age.

She quickly adds up the amount to pay.

"So that's 100 ruze for the trousers, 75 ruze for the shirts and a 1000 ruze for the boots."

Pausing for a brief moment.

"That's 1175 ruze please."

Leo knowing what he need to do now touches he wrist with his but nothing happens.

The woman mystified by this says.

"You did think about the amount right?"

Leo realizing his mistake, touches wrist with her again whilst thinking about the amount, feeling the same sensation as before.

He didn't question the price on the boots because he knew he had just got a great deal with the free gel on his feet.

The woman then smiling at being paid for doing a favor for her friend Brad and serving the customers needs.

"Are you staying around for a while?"

Leo looks up at her smiling.

"Yeah I'm staying in the Inn for around a year."

Whilst saying this realizing that this is nothing in the grand scale of things.

"Ah! my name is Sue, I see you have already met my daughter Lizzie shes only 23 you know young and beautiful."

Hearing this and realizing this woman is trying to sell her daughter to him is surprised by this.

"Don't worry she can handle her self she's trained to hunt like you, shes been practicing her whole life should would make a great fellow hunter."

Leo herring something that just piqued his interest.

"So she's looking to travel then?"

Hearing this from him she gives off a grin and slight wiggle to her body.

"She's been looking for someone to travel and hunt with so she can explore the world away from the Helm."

Leo grabbing his things he's just bought.

"I'll keep her in mind if I deciding to go hunting and time soon."

Turning around to leave the store Sue says with a rather cheerful voice.

"Please do, if you require any hunter clothes that are enhanced please come back I'll give you a great deal on them."

He leaves walking back to the inn looking down at his feet every now and again in amazement at the gel on his feet.

Walking into the inn hes greeted by Lizzie who smiles at home with a rather cute smile, he smile back at her whilst walking up the stairs carrying his new clothes.

He gets into his room putting his clothes away and getting changed into some new clothes and putting his boots on, standing in front of the mirror quite pleased with him self, glancing at his wrist seeing the numbers 38,725ruze on there.

Dressed in a slightly of white well fitted shirt and a pair of light brown trousers with the boots he choose on he smiles at him self thinking he looks reasonably well dressed considering the day hes had so far.

Throwing him self back onto the bed he decide to take a nap and think about it all.

"Command how many KJ do I have left?"

Command responding.

"Would you like to see basic statistics in HUD view,this at no cost to kj."

"Yeah can you show the Kj burn rate as well."

Closing and opening his eyes he has sees the HUD

in his peripheral vision he sees

-status 65%-

-6600kj-

-105kjh-

In his lower vision a basic bar showing a compass facing which is facing west.

-------W--------

In his upper right hand corner a small mini map which is showing a 3d model of the settlement and his surroundings with him in the center as a small yellow 3d kite, the Map showing all the people in the settlement as red figures.

"Command are you able differentiate between humans and creatures."

"One moment please analyzing data, yes I can do this would you like then highlighting in a different colour?"

"Yes Command Blue please"

A small flash happens in the mini map all the people in the settlement turn blue besides one bigger red creature looks like another Cerberus and what he find strange a human figure stays red.

"Command have you made a mistake with the data there?"

"No all data regarding that source is corresponding to the same data as the creature."

Taking a moment to think about what he had just heard off Brad a few hours before hand.

So there are creatures of different variations and sizes all belonging to the Helm they start off with small creatures like the a Wiggan(a squirrel like creature that has razor sharp claws that will group up with others to hunt down humans)

with medium size creatures like Brutas(the spiders that live in the trap holes they grab there foes pouring acid out there mouth melting there foes into nothing)

then there's the bigger creatures like the Criton ( The very first creature that attacked him that Command had saved him from they are extremely fast and agile devouring there for in one bit ripping apart them apart in seconds)

There's then the much larger creatures like the Himlocks (giant Minotaur who's hair is on fire they are some of the most fearsome creatures around this area) but there's the Guardians ( unique in there own way these monster look like dragons but with a lions head truly enormous anyone who's has gotten anywhere close to them has never survived they all vary in how they look but they are definitely something that should be avoid at all cost )

So after thinking for a moment he can only assume that the creature in the settlement is weak but disguised some how because it looks very human like with the data shown to him.

He decides to avoid this for now as he knows nothing about this enemy no one else as spoken about.

His thoughts drift onto something more interesting magic Brad used the word Magic saying that this is something that takes years of study and everyone is graded by the hunters association on there abilities, Brad him self being a legion, he never asked Brad about the system categorizing this he just listens to Brad talk about the World.

He Learned that the appendix we all taken for granted on earth as the organ that breaks down grass and vegetables is actually the organ responsible for the conversion of magic particles into the body.

Not everyone can convert these efficiently but everyone can to some degree, all you need to do is focus on what your trying to do sending your thoughts to the particles controlling them.

Doing this really takes it out of you Brad said as it draws on your own energy to manipulate the particles around you.

This is why it takes a long time to build up the ability to control them and use magic it can take up to 100 years to be able to make garments and weapons learning the techniques to control and infuse objects with magic.

There a unlimited amount of ways to control magic but these are all constricted to the laws of nature.

You can only control one type at once with mixing being almost impossible to do with only a very rare few being able to mix slightly being some of the most talented on the planet.

The notion that he could learn this he was ecstatic to do try.

Sitting up he first thinks about what he would like to do a ball of water.

Concentrating on this whilst holding out his hand he tries his best to try conjure a ball of water, nothing happens like its just not possible for him to do so.

Laying back down he drifts off to sleep dreaming about demons and Cerberus.

He wakes up in a panic.

"What was that?"

Sweating slightly he sits up saying this blinking his eyes he sees that he is still here and none of this was a dream either, feeling I hungry he decide to try find something to eat.

After getting to the front desk in the Inn he asked Lizzie.

"Is there anywhere to eat or buy food."

Lizzie Smiling at him yeah there the bar near the hunter association or the store, but if your wanting a decent meal go to the bar."

Thinking for a brief moment he decide to go to the bar.

He takes a stroll down the settlement taking in the evening light he finds a lot of people walking in and out of a building looking at the logo of a chalice he knows it's a bar but it has some writing that he cannot read and as seen nothing like it ever.

"Command can you translate this?"

Command replying.

"More data is required."

Hearing this he just decides walk on in because he can smell the aroma of a steak being cooked with fresh vegetables.

On entering this bar it has a basic layout of eight rows of tables with six being able to sit at a table it's quite full with a few tables spare men & women of all different sizes and builds dressed in full armor to lightly plated, surprised to see neatly dressed suits and builders in there typical clothes as well.

Noticing that people are taking a seat and servers are walking up and taking orders he decides to sit down at a empty table to him self, which isn't unusual as a few others did this.
