4 Life as an Ancient One (2/2)

Hearing the explanation, Karl calmed himself down. 'So this essence is basically XP from games. Interesting.'

Karl looked around, trying to figure out where he was. He saw a gate being guarded by two male guards. They were holding crude stone swords. At the top of the gate was a sign. He found out that he could read what the sign said with no problem. ”Sweet, I don't have to bother with languages.”

”Ulyvathas,” that was the name of the city.

Karl walked up to the guards, waving at them. ”Greetings! My name's Ka- Kigai, yes Kigai, and I wish to enter the city.”

The two guards looked at him suspiciously. They had never seen or heard of him before, and they practically knew everyone in the city, with there only being about 200 people.

”Kigai? I'm sorry, but I have never heard of you before, and I've been around for a while,” one of the guards said.

'Crap, I should've known trying to get into the city when their population is so small would be weird.'

”Ah, well... You see...” Karl tried to think of something so he wouldn't get in trouble. ”I fell from the city, all the way to the ground. After I woke up, I found out that I lost my memories, and only knew my name.”

[Persuasion learned.]

'Oooh, cool. It's just like a game, except I could die at any moment.'

”You fell from the city?” The guard stared at Karl suspiciously. ”If you fell from the city, and lost your memories, how do you remember falling from the city?”

'Fuck. Why's he so smart? Oh yeah, it's because I made them smart.'

”Well, I don't remember falling from the city, but I made a logical guess.” Karl crossed his fingers, hoping the guard would let him go.

The guard nodded. ”Alright, you're free to go, but my friend here will lead you to Dilya. She's the city teacher and the second born. She'll teach you everything that you forgot.”

Karl sighed, thanking god that his lie wasn't exposed, which was weird, because he is god. ”Thank you. I'm in your debt.”

The guard waved his hand. ”Don't worry about it. It's my responsibility as the first guard to help my brethren. Now go follow this guy.” He pointed at the other guard.

Karl nodded and followed behind the guard as he was being led to Dilya. They walked through the city, and he looked around seeing the tall humanoids. There were also some short ones, but they were all children. 'They really are tall. I guess they're the elves of my world.'

After much walking, they finally arrived at a building. Apparently, this was their school. The guard led him in front of Dilya's room. He knocked on the door. ”Dilya? There's someone here who forgot their memories. Alwin said that you have to teach him everything he's forgotten.”

The door opened and a tall female Ancient One greeted them. ”Forgotten their memories? Come in, come in.”
