After Spending Money, I Became A Sword Saint.
Raymond Dawson was a young man down on his luck. He had been spending the majority of his life bouncing from town to town, making a living in whichever way he could. One day, he wakes up to find himself in a different world. This world is very different from the one he had lived in for most of his life, here might is right; and might is something that Raymond doesn't have. That is, until he hears the voice of a system talking in his head. At this point, he is either crazy or on the path to greatness. Follow along as he embarks on a journey, with a goal he is still unsure of. A journey that will come to shake the very foundation of this new world he's found himself in.
Bluff.
Both Spencer and Raymond had made numerous enemies just by existing, so if they didn't find any backers and just left on a journey, the odds that someone would attack them were quite high. Although beating someone up or teaching someone else a lesson was something you could do in most large cities, openly killing people would invite a lot of trouble, since it was an offence to the city lord. Naturally, if your background or personal strength was strong enough, then even the city lord would turn a blind eye if you openly killed someone in their city, but most people did not.
Most people that attained such strength would travel to more prosperous lands, where they could get access to more precious resources and fight for more opportunities.
