Chapter 4

The tension could have been cut with a knife, our eyes staring at each, his grip on his sword not even faltering for a second.

" Would you believe me if I told you I am like Ciri?"

The swing that nearly cut my ear was translated as a no.

" Calm down, I am just like Ciri, I found myself here and I was searching for you," I said while trying to block his sword with mine.

Only for him to drop the sword and catch it with his other hand to try and pierce my stomach.

[ Weapon Mastery level up]

Using the tip of my own sword I barely change the trajectory of the sword to make it only slash the side of my stomach instead of piercing it, better than nothing.

" Who are you?" He asked while taking a step back, the sign for Axii appearing on his hand.

[ Gamer's Mind stopped hypnosis effect]

" Not gonna work, but as I told you, I am just like Ciri, a dimension hopper who found himself here."

"And why would I believe you?"

" I don't know. Listen I am here because if I want to continue my dimension hopping I need to help you but most importantly Ciri." I said while posting my sword down.

His eyes flinched when he heard my words, and after 5 seconds he finally lowered his sword.

" What do you know about her?"

" I know she is part of the royal family, she has the Elder Blood in her, she carries a long red silver sword with her, and other minor things."

" Do you know where she currently is?"

" I am a dimension hopper, not a time one, I know she is lost and escaping from the wild hunt, nothing more, what I know about this dimension is its end and its beginning."

" Its end?"

" Yes, there are 4 possibilities, and I can just tell you in only one of those you die."

" So I have 3/4 chances of serving, I have had worse, but this still doesn't convince me why I should let you help me."

" How about this, you bring me to Kaer Morhen, and I stay there and wait for your return, I only need to help you save Ciri, any other thing can be done by yourself."

And the silence returned, he was visibly counting the pros and cons of listening to me and letting me help.

Fortunately, it looks like the pros were more than the cons.

" Fine, you will come with me." He said while whistling to call Rutilia.

" Perfect, can I take the materials of the Leshy before though?"

He grunted which for me translated as a yes and I took out my knife to start getting the important parts.

The Core, the skull, and some of its branches, my Bestiary skill really help in these types of activities.

After having finally finished with it, I look back towards Geralt, who lit a fire and was currently setting a place to meditate for the night.

' Right, meditating, how have I forgotten about one of the most important skills for a Gamer? But doing it now would attract his suspicion so I will do it later.'

Seeing him occupied I decided to use the gacha and perks token, curious about what could come out.

--------------------------

Marlboro (common)

Saw Cleaver (Epic)

Bottle of water (common)

Glasses of the Erudite ( Rare)

+10 Skill Token (Rare)

100g Cocaine (Uncommon)

Infinite Pen (Uncommon)

Rock (common)

Queen Soundtrack (Uncommon)

Elton John Soundtrack (Uncommon)

You have gained the perk: Brutal Strenght

Brutal Strenght

Your body was created through the deaths of hundreds, your strength is proof of this and rewards a +5 in strength at every non-class level.

--------------------------

My smile widened seeing the rewards I had obtained, spending everything on luck had given me its rewards and since I am already there.

--------------------------

You Endurance has reached a breakthrough

( I made a mistake yesterday, the perk should have been Dex not end, so I changed it and made him unlock it here)

Your body's Endurance has broken past its limit, stamina consumption reduce by 20%

--------------------------

The last five status points were put in luck, too much luck never hurts.

Curious about the saw cleaver I was tempted to just take it out, but seeing Geralt already meditating made me curious, him seeing me suddenly take out a weapon made of bones out of nowhere wasn't a good idea.

I instead decide to inspect my new pair of glasses.

--------------------------

Glasses of the Erudite (Rare)

Glasses owned by a mortal who surpassed his limits of intelligence by fooling a God of Control boost status points gained in Int and Wis while wearing these glasses.

--------------------------

' Really useful, now I just need some books and I can start my int and wis grinding, now, how am I supposed to use soundtracks?'

[ Just think of it turning on and the soundtrack will start playing in the background, be aware that during fights it will be slightly lower volume, if turned on while someone talks with you the volume will be lowered by 90%]

'Cool, this way I won't miss listening to music.' I thought while turning on the Elton John Soundtrack and putting I'm Still Standing.

' Nothing like Elton John can help me make more potions.' I thought while wearing the black glasses and taking out the mortar.

"Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

In fact, it's cold as hell

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science I don't understand

It's just my job five days a week

A rocket man, a rocket man"

Suddenly I felt someone tap my shoulder interrupting the song and my muttering.

" What are you doing?" Geral asked.

I turned the music off and finished my potion by pouring it into one of the glass bottles I had "bought" from the village.

" Just a potion."

" You are an alchemist?"

" Not on a witcher level, but I am getting there, until now most of my potions have been created through trial and error, like this one."

--------------------------

Silent Death (Uncommon)

A potion that can be developed in something devastating, creates an invisible smoke that smells like putrid bodies

--------------------------

" I can smell it through the bottle, where did you even store it to hide its smell so well?"

" My dimensional powers unlike Ciri's ones also help me store items, like potions and other things."

" Would be very useful to a witcher, do you have a horse?"

"I don't even know how to ride one."

" Great, for now, let's get to the nearest city to get you a horse and some provisions for the travel."

And like this, my travel with Geralt started.
