Will of chaos

When the teleport gate activated, I feel the space element being taken from magic crystals and the energy being taken from an armored box that is on the side of the teleport gate, this must be where they drop Global Coins to activate the teleport gate.

“Activating the gate to the Arima Kingdom, Garrath City.”

During the warning the lines of the magic circles on the floor and the Runes on the gate frame light up, I can’t fully understand the concepts behind it, my knowledge is still very superficial.

The inside of the door starts to ripple, and the space inside itself started to ripple, these ripples started slowly and gradually grew as some of the Runes in the gate frame lit up even more than the others, so the space itself inside the gate began to spin.

Soon an image showed up inside the gate, an image of a room very similar to this one, but I realized that the people on the other side were different.

“Everyone can pass!”

The man in charge commanded everyone to go through the gate, everyone walked through the gate, I got a little anxious and tried not to think about the movie “The Fly” as I passed through the teleportation gate.

The moment I touched the water-like surface of the open teleportation gate, I felt that it was impossible to go back, I could feel the space element around my hand pulling me, so I couldn’t resist and keep going through the gate letting the space element surround my body, Orion who was on my shoulder also clings to me.

In what felt like the blink of an eye, it’s as if my body had crossed through a marine current that pulled me from one point to the other, but that was more of a space current.

My senses only started working again when I got to the other side and the space element was no longer around me like a protective cover like before.

“(The gate, the Runes, the magic circle, and the room are very similar, but the people are different.)” (I)

“Those who arrived through the gate, please head towards the checkpoint before leaving.”

“…” (I)

I look around to see that the people on this side were very different, almost all humans were brown or black skinned, and there were many races with reptilian resemblances like Lamias, Lizardmen, Snakeman, and Dragonewts.

I follow the people who left the gate with me to the requested place, I enter a queue where in a few minutes I go through a new verification process that I went through with ease.

I noticed that the clothes of the people working here were different, they were loose warm weather clothes.

I hadn’t understood since it was a desert it was for people to protect their bodies more since the Suns should be crueler here, but when I got outside I understood.

As soon as I got outside it was like being punched in the face by heat, it didn’t bother me too much as I’m resistant to heat or cold, but the difference in temperature was stark.

“It’s too hot, the sun is too strong, do people in this world have skin diseases?” (I)

“Master, I think we should take care of Nix first, she doesn’t like being away from her shadow for too long.” (Orion)

“You’re right, let’s go.” (I)

After going through the last check, I received a pamphlet with some laws and warnings, this includes some races that are considered people in this Realm like Lamias and Snakeman.

Looking around I notice several races walking along the streets made of some kind of light blue stone, the buildings are a mix of white and light blue colors, and there are also some strange trees with big white flowers all over the city.

I focus my Aura in my eyes and I notice the water element being attracted to the blue stones in the streets or houses, I also notice the wind element being attracted to the trees.

“(This city was built to withstand the heat.)” (I)

“■□■□●○■■!!”

“○○■□□■○■□□?!”

“■■■□■■!!!!”

As I walked the streets, stall vendors shouted offering their wares in a language I didn’t know, it looks like this Kingdom will be like the Haffes Kingdom in not having many people speaking the common language.

“We’ll have to go to an empty place.” (I)

“To the alleys then?” (Orion)

“Yes, I was thinking of doing that.” (I)

I keep walking through people while looking down some alleys, on one I find days people doing something I’d rather not think about, on the other I see someone dying, and on the third I see people in hoods looking out on the streets.

“I don’t think this city is very safe, better go to an inn.” (I)

I walk through the streets until I see a sign with an Armored Knight lying on a bed, then I walk in and see a male Lizardmen. 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕

“■■□○■■□□■□?●●■.”

“Is this an inn? Is there anyone who speaks the common language?” (I)

“Looks like you’re an Adventurer, I was saying.”

“Welcome to Sleeping Knight, how many nights do you want to stay?”

“I’m only staying 1 night for now.” (I)

“One night is 50 bronze coins.”

“You will want to take a bath or eat, a bath will be 1 silver coin and food 3 silver coins.”

“A little high value, isn’t it?” (I)

“Your first time in the Infernal Waste, Lord?”

“The water here comes from strong storms that happen suddenly, but at times it can take weeks for a storm to happen, so access to water can be a little expensive.”

“The value of the food is due to the importation of most of the food, but it is valid for 2 meals, a meal tonight and a meal tomorrow morning.”

“I just want the room, thanks.” (I)

I only give him 50 bronze coins, I noticed some people looking at me from across the street, I don’t want to draw attention if they are bandits.

After taking the key which has a small plate on it, I look and I notice that on one side there is something written that I don’t understand, on the other side there are numbers written using the common language, the lizardmen explain to me that one number represents the floor and the other number represents my room.

After I go upstairs, I go to my room, it has a bed, a table with two chairs, a chest and a window.

“Simple but very clean and tidy.” (I)

“< Enable >” (I)

I activate a magic item that creates a powerful barrier to prevent people my level or below from knowing what goes on inside the room.

So I push the chairs and table back, close the window and start to draw a magic circle using my blood while I am crystallizing it, I also create some Spiritual Runes inside the ritual circle, and when everything is ready I place a magic crystal full of my power in the quite.

“< Spirit Summon: Nix >” (I)

The magic circle glows and some of my spirit energy, the ritual ignites and silver flames ignite consuming the magic crystal, then the ritual circle itself begins to be consumed as Nix in her Human form begins to rise from the ground.

“Welcome back Nix.” (I)
