New Home Part 2

Confused about what happened but not complaining Little Soul let out a joyous shout before sitting on the ground dead tired. He had been running most of the day and had no idea how many miles he had traveled. Yet, he didn't care because the end was literally in sight for him you can finally stop running away from things trying to kill him and lead a new life in this old man's body.

Little Soul rested for about 20 minutes before getting up and heading towards the three bodies. He wanted to collect the crystals inside their chest he had no idea what they are used for or if they had any value but, they contained traces of the Souls of the previous owner. That interest him a lot since he was a soul inhabiting a body.

Retrieving the crystals was slightly difficult, the three Orcs skin was quite tough he had difficulty even piercing their skin with his dagger. Even with all his body weight, it was still difficult to shove his blade inside and slice down to get a big enough hole to shove his hand inside.

it took him a while but he got all the crystals. his hands were bloody so he grabbed one of the ogre's cloth armor pieces wiped the blood away his hands were still a bit red but he didn't care. The Orcs had iron weapons with them but they were too big and heavy plus little soul had no use for them.

proceeding on his way towards the massive wall in the distance he could barely make out other people also walking towards the wall.

"Oh thank God there are actually people here that means this wall really was made by humans and not a group of other creatures like orcs".

It took Little Soul a few hours to reach the massive wall by foot since it was so far away, at least the ground was flat for him which made it easier. when he made it to the wall he was stunned by how huge it was.

"who in their right mind would make a wall this big? what do you even need it for? I saw what was out there but still the things over a hundred stories tall".

The wall was embedded with the gigantic statues of men in robes clasping their hands almost as if in prayer with their heads down and faces covered by their hoods. The statues looked identical they were dozens of stories tall and circled around the entirety of the wall which spanned on for miles.

The wall appeared to be both a mixture of stone and metal there wasn't a single bit of rust on the metal and if you were to touch it would feel no heat even if it was left out in the blazing sun. The entirety of the walls was carved with many runes far more intricate and complex than the ones found on the gun little soul found.

everything was so Grand and amazing especially the main gate it was so massive it was like it was built for a giant it was less than half the size of the wall about 50 stories but still where have you ever seen such a stupidly massive gate. Why do they even need it that big?

The gates had many carvings on it depicted a story little soul couldn't see the whole thing but, he could see the bottom parts it was the end result. The gate depicted hooded figures rising up amongst the masses shining like the sun as they drive away the dark and horrible beasts of twisted nature that cowered before these men as they rush back towards the woods to hide.

"Geez, I feel like the guy that made this is overcompensating for something of his down below... hahaha. everyone knows you can't take history at face value especially if something is over-exaggerated is this mess".

Walking further toward the gates I see many guards clad in white and gold outlined armor a lot of them carried swords other Spears, one guy had a hammer three times bigger than my head and another with a shield so huge and thick it should be impossible to Lift yet he is walking around with it on his back with no problem.

"Geese what is with all these guys are they all bodybuilders or something". Questioning the freakish strength of every one of the guards near him little soul was stopped by one of them.

" Hult you cannot enter the gate yet" a towering man with a stern face walks up to personal stop little soul. "Hmm, so I can understand their language must be that old mans soul at work again" He looked to the side seeing other people walking through past the guards no problem. They were wearing armor pieces and carried weapons, some even hulled carts full of dead creatures.

A bit worried as to why one of the guards would signal him out of everyone else little soul started to sweat but kept his cool. "Why are you stopping me did I do something wrong?". He says in the voice of a decrepit old man even some of the words he said did not come out right because he had no teeth. If he was in trouble little soul was going to milk the old man card for all it was worth. I mean come on who would cause trouble for a defenseless old man?

"No sir but, you have in your possession three monster cores that don't belong to you. As you know as the law states in Delmar City any creature killed by a city guard of Delmar is the property of Delmar City. so, please hand over the 3 monster cores in your possession and you may be on your way".

So that was the problem ... wait if it's their property then they killed those three Orcs chasing after me but how? I was still so far away from the wall of the city. What kind of weapons do these people have? No sniper from my world could do what I saw? Then again this isn't my world and here a pistol has the force of a cannon I guess that makes sense. Not only that their communication system seems to be good too despite these guys dressed like it's the medieval days.

Knowing these things is helpful to little soul so he can blend in and live here easily. "There is no need to get all serious with me, young man. I know the rules I was just retrieving the monster cores for you guys to lessen the workload on you all".

little soul said everything with a straight face without breaking character at all then smiled showing the guard the bums in his mouth.

The guard looks at the toothless old man it was obvious from the expression on his face he did not believe a single word that the old man said. "Whatever just hand over the monster cores and you can be on your way".

Little Soul was a bit displeased by the guard's obvious lack of trust in him. "He should know that I have yet to break a single law in this world in all the time I've been alive which was not much but, it was better than most other people I bet". He really wanted to tell the guard off but, he bit his tongue opened the bag and handed him the cores to not cause a problem for himself.

While rummaging through his bag the guard saw three other cores. He could tell what two of them were in an instant they were the most common two drowner cores small blue not worth much but the other one beside it was bigger and gave off a soft green light. "An advanced apprentice-level core lucky you".

Little soul heard what he said and was shocked but not surprised since he well the Denizen of this world " you know what this Crystal is just by looking at it?"

"Obviously I can't tell what kind of creature you took it form without an appraiser but, from the glow, I can tell you took it from an advanced Apprentice level creature. which is an achievement all on its own for someone like you. Don't know it's real value but you should get at least 50 magic crystals at the Eclipse association trade center".

"50 magic crystals" little soul had no idea if that was a lot or not. Since he didn't know this world's currency.

"Ya, or you could trade it to someone who is desperate for this kind of crystal in your possession but the only types of people interested in the low-grade Crystal you have will be Magi apprentices and everyone knows how broke they are.

"Magi apprentice what the hell is a magi?" Little soul commented to himself. "Thank you but, I must be on my way".

"Alright you can pass through the seekers' gate now"

Seekers gate what a strange name but that's when a memory surfaced from the depths of little soul's conscience. Which frightened him to no end when he realized what he had to pass through.
