Chapter 010

Looking at the System, Wes didn't notice there was a new notification. Looking at it, he smiled.

{New Skills Unlocked!}

Excited, he couldn't help but look at what his new skills were.

The last skill caught his eye.

Level 1 - Daze

"Thats gonna be useful," he said with a huge grin.

Looking around, everything seemed normal as Wes continued on to Felt City. Tree's looked like tree's , there were lots of normal bug's, I mean, at least normal to Wes anyways, and lots of rock's.

"Boulders are more like it.." Wes thought

If Wes hadn't come down through the hole to begin with, he would have never guess he was underground.

The light in the sky is what caught his eye. He didn't notice it before, but looking at it now, he could see a very large crystal that was yellow in color.

It was much higher than anyone could every reach in a lifetime, and almost as bright as the sun

Pulling out his phone, the time reads [5:59pm]

"How much longer til we get to the city?" Wes asked the System.

{20 Miles Remaining}

Just then, the large crystal that lit up everything began to dim.

"What's happening?" Wes looked around panicked and on alert.

[6:00pm]

{Calm Down, It's What You Call "A Sunset"}

"Wait, so it's going to be night soon??" Wes asked

{Correct}

Not knowing where he was, or what happened when his only light source decided to go away for god knows how long, Wes started to pick up the pace.

In front of him, Wes could begin to see the large stone walls surrounding Felt City. Many guards had lined the tops of the wall and many more troops could be seen in large towers with their bows at the ready.

"Damn," Wes exclaimed, eyes wide with fear and excitement.

Walking closer, Wes began to feel multiple sets of eyes on him, and looking up, guards had begun to gather above him, preparing for something.

"What's going on," Wes wondered

That answer was shortly given to him as an arrow shot down from above and landed to his right

"Shit!" Wes managed to say as he took cover behind a tree.

"IDENTIFY YOURSELF STRANGER!" Came a loud, booming voice from above.

Peaking his head from his cover, Wes could see a large man covered head to toe in armor. Towering over every other soldier there, "he's obviously in charge," thought Wes.

[Inspect]

Name: Ian Grodd

Level: 50

"MY NAME IS WES! Wes yelled up to them, "I GOT LOST AND I SAW THIS CITY!"

"LOST, YOU SAY BOY?" The General boomed.

"PLEASE, WHERE AM I? Wes said, hoping for an answer.

"THIS IS FELT CITY, THE GREATEST CITY IN ALL OF UNDERWORLD!" The man said, bewildered by this rather dim boy.

"IF IT'S SO GREAT, WHY ARE YOU SHOOTING ARROWS AT THE PEOPLE WANTING TO VISIT IT!" Wes snapped rather harshly.

"WELL," said the the general, "MAYBE IF YOU WENT THROUGH THE FRONT GATE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CITY, AND NOT HAVE CAME UP TO THE KINGS PERSONAL ENTRANCE, WITHOUT A WORD, MAYBE I WOULDN'T HAVE TO SHOOT AT STUPID CHILDREN" Ian snarled.

Wes looked away in embarrassment. He had no idea that this was the back door. He was also taken back that they had shot at him for using the wrong entrance, rather than give a verbal warning.

"Better be on my best behavior," thought Wes

"IM SORRY," Wes yelled up to Ian.

General Ian looked down at the boy for atop the wall. the boy looked weak, yet there was something about him that made the general take a bit more time to think about his next course of action

"UGHHH….GO THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR," he said as the had to quickly think if he was being kind or foolish.

"THIS ONE TIME KID" he yelled before turning away and leaving from Wes's sight.

At that, the guards began to go back to whatever they were doing before Wes had arrived and left a rather confused Wes, to head past the gate, around the wall a bit and to where the general had said the side entrance was

Now almost directly against the wall, Wes found what he was looking for.

"Not much of an entrance," Wes thought

In front of Wes, there was a small metal door that could be seen in the stone in the wall, hidden from view.
