Onward to Jupiter
We have successfully passed through the portal. A new space. The stars are aligned differently. I can't even recognize any constellations."Aera, make a star chart. It'll help pinpoint our location."I tell Aera. Because this is a new space, the stars are different. It's rather easy losing your way."It's time to sleep, people." "But master, you will stay awake?" (Hazel)"Don't worry. You all look worn out. Look, Eden already fell asleep."So it was decided that they will go to sleep. Now, I am alone in the control room.So another 4 days until I reach Jupiter.(You don't have to wait for 4 days, you know?)"I know. But I would rather wait. Besides, the space is a beautifully mysterious place. I am intrigued by it."(You do have a good taste and some nerve. So brazenly complimenting a woman.)"Complimenting a woman? I am just saying that this vast empty space is beautiful."(The space here is the body of a goddess. This goddess was slain by the ancient gods and since has become the s
Progress
I stumbled upon some things but it didn't really affect our speed. I am still going at my own pace and I can practically see the planet Jupiter.It looks blue. Even bluer than earth. How is it this blue?(Because the landmass of Jupiter is limited. That planet is 90 percent water and 10 percent land. Of those 10 percent is 50 percent forests, deserts and mountains. It's really not the ideal place for a populous race like humans.)It really is in a bad shape. So that's another reason they needed a new land.(Yes. They were desperately searching for a new habitat and the gods gave them the necessary means. So it just fit in this.)Hmm…only another day left. So why don't we skip that delay?"Aera, I will open the portal. Jump through the portal and scan the planet as soon as we approach it.""Yes master." I focused and poured my . I still don't understand how it works but I can see two portals. One in the front and the other near the planet.Aera quickly dove in and came from the other
Finally, I am here!!
You might be wondering where I am! I am currently on Jupiter. I have reached my destination. Though it didn't go as smoothly as it should have gone.I used my to seal my . Hazel, Aura, Aera and Aegis are holding on to 40 percent of my . I turned 20 percent of my into mana. The remaining 40 percent…I gave that to System. Because as they are now, they can't handle more than 10 percent. I can't put their lives at risk. So here I am, standing in a field. It's barren. Is it a desert? "Fay, is this supposed to be a desert because I landed where you marked.""No. This place should be a lakeside. But where did the water go?" (Fay)Fay herself is quite flustered. Hazel is looking at the horizon. Aura has Eden up on her shoulder. Aegis and Aera have gone to sleep in their compact form. They worked the most so I think they deserve a long rest. So let's use some of my skills that I really don't use.I get to my knees and take some dust. "Appraisal." I use my appraisal skill. I didn't use
First contact
After coming to this planet, I have made a new partner. A spirit who became our partner. But I have yet to encounter a human. We have been crossing a forest. Fay said that there are monsters in the forest but I used intimidation. I just released a bit of my mana and it made our surroundings a bit distorted.So the monsters would always steer clear of us. "Master, where should we go first?" (Hazel)"Good question. Fay, should we directly go to the city or go elsewhere first?" "Mm….. I think I should go and see my mother. At this time of the day, she should be home." (Fay)"Your mother it is then. We all should go. I want to meet your mother as well. How far is your home?" "About 10 minutes in horse carriage." (Fay)That's a problem. I don't have any vehicles right now. I want to let Aera and Aegis rest as well. I guess, I will try my hands at creation."Master, what will you do?" (Hazel)"I think a car would be fine. I can't create a really intricate car but I can make one big enou
Meeting
"Sorry to have shown you such a scene." Fay's mother recomposes herself and says. "No. I don't mind. Besides I understand where you are coming from." I also give a modest answer. Being a parent must be hard. "My name is Fiona Adams. Thank you for bringing my daughter back." (Fiona)"You are welcome. I am Clive Belmont.""Fay, what happened to you?" (Fiona)Fiona looks at Fay who is beside her. But Fay is covering her face with both hands and is curled up on the sofa. I have Hazel to my right and Aura to my left and Eden on my lap. We are having a talk. After the tearful reunion of the mother and daughter, they calmed down and noticed me. Fiona was alright but Fay has been like that since.Maybe she is just embarrassed. But why should she be? I can't understand. Anyway, Fiona invited us in and offered us some tea."So Clive, you actually come from the planet Earth?" (Fiona)"I do. I met Fay when she was wandering around the forest alone. And she came into contact with me. She sa
Let’s go to the bazaar
I have done something bad again. The guilt, it's kinda heavy. Fiona fainted and I unleashed my mana to test it out.This kinda delayed my plan. But I think should talk with Fay. "Fay, I have a question.""What is it?" She has her mother on her lap. "What will you do from now on? You are back. Our part of the deal is done. So, what's next? Are you staying here or going to the palace to chew your father out?" From my perspective, this is a fairly normal question. We had a deal that I would safely escort her to her home. And I did that. Our deal ends here. She was tagging along with us because we had a deal. So I guess she can't tag along anymore.I was thinking all of that but I felt a few gazes. Hazel, Aura and even Eden are giving me stares for some reason.Fay looks like a deer who's questioning her hunter. Her eyes are wide open and she is mumbling."Master, I know that you are not always so bright but this isn't what I expected." (Hazel)What? Hazel is roasting me! "Honey, a w
The Bazaar
Since we have successfully entered the city, we don't have to sneak around. We are normally walking on the streets like everyone else. No one is even looking at us.They seem really busy. The hustle of this city is great. I turn to Fay who is walking alongside me."Fay, what about the currency though? I don't have any money." I had forgotten but this world has different money than my previous one. I need this world's currency."We use gold and silver as currency. But depending on the size, the value changes. Don't worry. I have some money on me." (Fay)She showed me a small pouch which contained a few gold coins. Gold is probably the highest of coins so I think that much will suffice. But I need to secure money. "Fay, what do the people of this world do? For earning money?" "Many things. Some are farmers, some are merchants, some are laborers. We have teachers and diplomats as well but they are a few. Most people are involved in physical labor. You work, you eat." (Fay)"Should I a
Apparently, I am a threat
Currently I am sitting on a chair which has me tied. Because of my limited strength which was still kind of outrageous, I have been detained. Fay and Eden are also with me. But they listened to my request and did not tie them."Why are you doing this?" (Fay)"You mean, why I am going along with this farce?" "Yes. You don't seem the type to like these complex things." (Fay)"Absolutely. But I am a rather peaceful person. So I tend to avoid commotion. However if they force me, I will give them the appropriate response. For now, they have been polite and cautious of me." "Papa, will they do something bad to us?" (Eden)"Of course not. They will just ask me some questions. They will not do anything to you." I try assure her. Although she is a special kind of existence, she is but a child. I can not say anything to make her agitated.They told me that the guild master will come himself. "Fay, do you know the guild master?" "Yes. He is a former SS rank adventurer. In his prime, I heard
First job and an unexpected meeting
The guild master certainly lived up to his reputation. He dealt with me carefully. Now I am a B rank adventurer. "Fay, what does a B rank adventurer do?""B ranks can receive personal commissions and be nominated for specific jobs. Of course they are harder but the payment is also worth the risk. You can say that you have become special as an adventurer. But you need to answer to emergencies as well." (Fay)"So I am given special treatment in exchange of my services during emergencies. Doesn't sound too bad. And I can say that this is the best way to rack up some money.""Papa, do you have a job now?" (Eden)"Yes, honey. Papa has a job now. Let's accept a job and get our spending money."We have this conversation as we descend the stairs. Once we step foot into the hall, everyone fixed their gazes on us.I ignore them as I did previously."Guild master issued me with this card. Do you have any jobs for me?"I show the receptionist my copper card and she looks at me funny. Did I make
Planning the path ahead
I have received a hefty payment so I decided to splurge. I wasn't a really frugal person to begin with. If something caught my eye, I would buy it.I didn't spare a second thought. Because I had no need of extra money. When I was working as a miner, I got more than what I was expecting. The rent of my house covered the utility bills. Electricity and water was virtually free. I didn't have to pay for tuition as I didn't go to school after elementary school. That said, my education didn't stop.I bought books and read them. And I think I have the knowledge even if I don't have the academic education. The rent was low as the building was almost empty anyway. Only three persons lived there aside from me.I had a lot of money saved up so when something caught my eye, I just bought it. That habit is still present. When we went back, I was surprised. Hazel, Aura and Fiona are talking to each other. They look rather relaxed. Maybe because they have many things in common. "I'm back." I say
