Chapter 19: Where Now?

Hmm, I got what I needed so where should I go now?

That was a good question.

There was nowhere that I actually could go.

I really am dumb for spending the rest of my money on a new weapon.

GODDAM IT!!!

Seems like I'll have to take another mission.

Entering the guild one more time, I could not be bothered to accept a difficult quest so I just took a standard gathering herbs test.

There were very few people in the guild at this time which made me pretty happy as I could be spared the extra attention since I don't do well in crowds.

Quickly gathering the herbs, I finished the job and earned 50 coppers.

Damn, the price difference for those two jobs makes it even more crazy that I managed to survive from there.

Still, this wasn't enough for even the cheapest inn.

Guess I'll have to camp outside.

Spending the money to buy some cheap bread, I headed out through the gate.

Now that I had a sword, I will say that it did make me feel at least a bit safer.

Finding a tree to lay down on, I closed my eyes.

Sounds passed through my ears.

The grass rustling.

The wind whistling.

The river flowing.

The tree breaking.

Wait what?

The tree?

Huh?

THUD!!!

OWWWWWW!!!

Grabbing my butt, I howled in pain.

That hurt!

That really hurt!

Something had prodded my butt when I landed.

Looking down, I gasped in surprise.

Isn't this basically a blessing from the heavens?
