Chapter 3 : Achievement???
After Jergen left the building he stop by the nearby park, and sat on the bench. His face is kind of pale as he stare up the sky, with a weak smile.
Jergen : "ah... The sky is so beautiful today..."
Some passerby take a glance of a an elf seems to be looking pale. He's wearing a brown leather shoe, brown toupe pants, and navy green t-shirt with a pocket on the chest, with the rest is his waist bag wrap around his waist.They all continue walking by but can't help to take a glance at Jergen. Some lady with her friends giggle from the sight.
Jergen begin to recover from knowing he got isekai in a game, plus being a casual gamer. Jergen sigh heavily.
Jergen : "should I even accept this..."
He muttered to himself, he take look of his surroundings, the trees, the building, and the people wearing like from the 19th century bunch of elegant people. he begin to speak in his thought.
Jergen : *this world isn't that bad, I know some few things about this world, some few events aswell but it's always unexpected- Hold on!*
His eye widen a bit, like it unlocked something in his mind.
*The event only happens when the player find the button or anything that activates the event, that's why it's unexpected. So I'm safe! Actually let me check if I got money.*
He begin to check if he got money from his waist bag. And he pulled out a small card with the name of currency is Curo on the top left of the card.
Jergen : *shit I don't know the password.*
Suddenly a bunch of letters and numbers show's up on the card like a hologram, and it shows how much Jergen has in his card.
Curo Mercury (in a fancy and elegant writing)
30.00C (C = Curo)
Jergen look at it, look up then look at the card again.
Jergen : "what is this D&D!?"
He clasp his mouth using his right hand just to shut himself up.
Jergen : *Dang! Namit! The heck you mean 30C! I can only last for a week with this!*
Jergen sigh thinking of any way to live in this new life.
Jergen : *maybe I should go to the collector academy, I'll think of something about the money problem.*
He stands up from the bench, he checks his card again before putting it in the waist bag, he opens his waist bag and he noticed a folded cloth. He mutters in curiosity.
Jergen : "what is this?"
He puts the card first in the waist bag and pulls out the folded cloth and unfolds. It was a green pine flap cap.
Jergen : *A hat? No it's a cap, jesus not even match to my clothing... But somehow made me feel like wearing it anyway.*
He puts it on his head, somewhat he began to feel confident.
Jergen : *Alright, time to head on.*
He began to head towards the Collector Academy. And while he does that.
***Boom***
Jergen jolted from the nearby explosion. The civilian begin to panic, some of them run, and some of them wants to see what's going on.
Jergen turns around to look at what's the commotion and what he saw from the distance is three people fighting using magic on top of the building.
Jergen sees a person from the distance building in gray robe with their hood down, they have black hair but he can't see what else the person is wearing, age and even their race. Jergen tries to see what is the man fighting against. He sees two people wearing a navy blue some sort of uniform both of them also has black hair the rest of the details I hard to see from the distance.
Jergen somewhat feeling excited and fear that he is seeing real magic fight.
Jergen : *AWESOME! Wait wait let's get the heck out of here first before we get killed by accident. Think logically think logically.*
Jergen tries to run away from the danger but can't help to watch. He begins to walk backwards just in case if he needs to distance himself.
Suddenly a man voice screaming in desperation.
??? : "HELP!!! MY DAUGHTER IS IN THE BUILDING! PLEASE! WHY IN ALL PLACES!"
Jergen look at where is the voice coming from, it was not far away and sees a burning three storey building, almost about to give in, the top storey seems like it got hit by an explosion.
Jergen : *Wait since when did the explo-*
Not able o finish his thought another explosion suddenly from nearby. Jergen take a glance and sees a fireball heading towards his area.
Jergen : *SHIT!*
He sprinted out of the way, the fireball landed on the bench where jergen last seated, and it exploded ranging at fifteen feet created a small crater about four feet. Luckily Jergen able to get out of the blast radius just from walking backward.
More people screaming, all panic, some tries to run, some tries to help the others, some froze in fear.
Jergen : *alright time to go-*
??? : "PLEASE!!! MY DAUGHTER! SOMEBODY!!!"
Jergen instinctly rush towards where the man screaming coming from.
Jergen : *GOD DAMNIT ME!*
The flap hat falls down from his head, but Jergen continues running towards the man.
Jergen sees the man as he continues to run towards him. The man looks like in his 30s, his skin colour is light brown, he has brown hair and he's human. His clothes is a brown tortilla suit, and brown coffee leather shoe. The man saw Jergen running towards him, he spoke in hopeful tone.
??? : "She's in the second-"
Jergen rush in the door without hesitation. The man eyes widen. The man shouted quickly.
??? : "Wait! Floor! Second Floor!"
Jergen hears it well as he run. He dodge through the obstacle while running towards the stairs. He rush up the stairs he cough from the smoke slowly getting thicker. He shouted.
Jergen : "ANYONE HERE!?"
A young female voice coming from the right side of the building.
??? : "HELP! I'M HERE!"
Jergen begin to rush towards the right and opens the first door, she's not in there.
Jergen : *damnit not here.*
Jergen rush towards the second door opens it, she's not there.
Jergen : *Come on come on!*
??? : "HELP!"
Jergen able to pin point where the voice coming from. He rushes at the end of the hallway and opens the last door, and sees a very young lady in dress in the corner of the room covering her mouth with a napkin. She's wearing an elegant princess victorian style dress, the colour from middle dress is denim blue, the sides colour are midnight blue, the design from the middle has beautiful pattern like a peacock feather. She has light brown hair, her skin colour is light brown as her father.
Jergen doesn't think for a sec and begins to carry her out of the room. He rush down the hall way carrying her on his hands. He run to the stairs but the stairs is now crumbled block by burning wooden structures. Jergen looks around and remembered there's a window from the second door. He rush towards the second door luckily he didn't close it.
Jergen : "Hold tight!"
The girl hold tight on Jergen t-shirt. He begins to run and jump all his might towards the window, using his shoulder the glass shattered in impact, and managed to get out of the building in mid air. They both fall down Jergen hold the girl tight from the fall as he close his eye ready for impact. Suddenly a person catches them in mid air safely putting them down the stone floor.
Jergen opens his eyes looks around who saved them, and sees a human middle age man with almost gray hair, wearing the same navy blue uniform from the fight earlier. Jergen sits up and checks the girl he's holding and she's fine. Jergen sigh in relief. Jergen has few scratches from the glass window and some black dust on him and the girl.
Jergen : "You're safe now."
The father rush towards them and hug his daughter tightly while thanking Jergen.
??? : "Thank you thank you thank you thank you! Oh my beautiful baby."
Now the father got black dust on his clothes but he doesn't care. The daughter is gasping for air.
??? : "Dad... Can't breath..."
The father let go.
??? : "Oh right sorry."
Jergen lightly smile from the moment, he stands up from the ground and look at the man who saved them from the fall. Jergen extended his hand towards the man.
Jergen : "thanks for saving us from the fall sir."
The middle age man smile proudly, and shakes Jergen hand with a firm grip.
??? : "No I should be the one thanking you for bravely saving a child from the burning building."
Jergen : *ouch ouch I'm not used to shaking hand this tight.* "Ah... No I should still thank-"
Jergen thinks logically for a moment. He lets the man hand go and escorted the father and daughter away from the building.
Jergen : "let's take some distance away from the building."
All of them walks away from the building just in case. The middle age man shock a bit from Jergen action.
??? : *An elf really care about human life, well I guess racism is slowly getting healed.*
After a bit the father and daughter thank Jergen again and the middle age man. They begin to go somewhere safe.
Jergen : "I should also get somewhere safe as well."
Jergen begin to walk, the man suddenly spoke.
??? : "I haven't gotten your name yet hero."
Jergen stop and look at the man, he spoke a bit embarrassing.
Jergen : "I'm not a hero, I'm just a normal person."
The man smile lightly on how Jergen response.
??? : "I'm Raphael D. McLain, head officer of the Crisis Control Area."
Jergen : *Oh them.* "I'm Jergen... G. Liadin."
Jergen calm from the outside but having panic form the inside
Jergen : *Seems like everyone saying their full name in this world... And I only got first name!*
Raphael : "I'll remember that name hero."
Raphael smile and walks away and wave his Jergen goodbye.
Raphael : "work hard Mr. Jergen."
Raphael begin to jump building to building. Jergen now facing new situations after another. He muttered.
Jergen : "I need to get to the academy where it's safe..."
Another explosion from the distance.
Jergen : *So... Is this episode one?*
