11 Narciscia City (1/2)
After the bandits, there wasn't any real big problem. The journey was nice for the last couple of days and we went through a forest at one point. On the last day, you could start to see the wall of Narciscia. It wasn't that big compared to the Creosian empire, but it was still pretty big.
On the way to the entrance of Narciscia, there was a lot of people entering and leaving. Some of them said that they were leaving to go hunt, others said that they were leaving to sell some goods at towns nearby. Chris made a joke about them leaving because of the smell but it wasn't that good.
We walked for about another hour till we got to the entrance. At the entrance was a long line that was wrapping around some pillars. Chris and I looked at each other in confusion as we both didn't have a clue. Half a minute later Chris started explaining everything as if he always knew. Probably used his powers to figure it out.
The line was obviously a entrance into the city but the pillars were kinda like the areas at airports. They where just there to make sure the lines weren't out of control and random.
Everyone moved to this one big line that had other wagons and guard like people in it. This one took took about a half hour till we got to the actual entrance to be checked. Their procedures where exactly like the empires so it took a bit of time but they found nothing wrong with us or our stuff. They let us through and immediately called for the next person after us.
Entering into the city you could see that it wasn't as thriving as the empire. Compared to a average town though, this was still a whole bunch of people. Nalik made us all go to the Guild first so that he could fill out some forms and pay us. Nothing really happens on the way to the guild.
At the guild he filled out our quest forms, payed Chris and I four gold, and left. As we where leaving some person wearing a hood bumped into us, apologized, and dashed away. I just thought it was a accident but Chris thought differently. He grabbed the person by the hood and picked them up or the ground slightly
”Drop it” said Chris with venom in his voice
All the person did was raise up his hands and say that he didn't do anything wrong. At this point there was also a small crowd forming around us. At this point my common sense finally kicked in and I knew to look for my money. My money was nowhere on my body so this person stole it. Now this made me pretty angry I must say.
The first thing I did was stop time for everyone but Chris, the thief,and myself. All I had to do was create a skill called Absolute Time Control.
”Chris. Would you please drop him?”
Now at this point, Chris has ready enough of my memories and spent enough time with me to know what was actually happening. I was genuinely pissed off by this guy. Good ol' thief here was lying right to our faces and even had a stupid grin on their face when I told Chris to drop him.
Thief started brushing imaginary dust off of himself and started saying something about how he was going to sue us but if we payed him right now, he won't ruin our entire life. This only deserves a mad laugh from me. By doing this, thief finally looked up from his clothing and looked around. Thief saw how everyone and everything was frozen with a slight gray tone to emphasize that everything was frozen in time.
Thief bolted. All I did was walk calmly.
'Oooh this bitch is going to get all my wrath. First he stole my money, then didn't even admit to it, said he was going to fucking sue Chris and I, and now he's running away? Hahaha, this is going to be fun.' >:)
Snapping my fingers I teleported thief right behind me and a bit to the right. He continued running but did notice that I was right next to him temporarily. I made a chair appear out of thin air, sat down, and put the thief in a loop of constantly running past me every ten seconds.
About six minutes later the thief fell to the floor and started panting like a dog whose run out of breath
”So, how was your morning run?” I said with a smile
”P-p-please don't kill me s-s-sir.”
”Don't worry” I said while getting out of my chair.
I walked up to him, rested my hand on his shoulder, and said, ”You won't die until a long long time after all” I said with the sweetest smile possible
'World system, make the current person I'm touching get Reviving Immortality. Make it flawed so that every time he dies he has all stats set to 3 and intelligence stat stay at a constant 10. Also make it so that this skill is called the Curse of God. Bitch deserves it.'
And with that, I froze time for the thief too. I took my money back, put him back in the circle of people, and left with Chris to go somewhere while time was frozen. The entire time Chris was just smiling.
”Wants that look for? Why're you smiling?” I asked
”Dude, you just used some of your powers without asking the system to make skills for you!”
Upon hearing Chris say this, I realized I made a chair and used some space like powers without having the system do it for me. Raising my hands in the air, I shouted and Chris joined me. Not using the system and skills to use powers was a big leap for me. Every time I tried using my powers normally, I would somehow mess it up but this time it went exactly as I wanted.
We continued just exploring the city in frozen time as Chris and I talked about my powers. There was a couple of small thefts in progress that we saw but I was all justices out so I didn't do anything to them. We also saw some holy looking people that had a bunch of suns over them. Seeing them reminded me of the gifts that were given to me from the gods.
Pulling out the apple from my dimension, I threw it over to Chris. He looked at it for a second, took a big bite out of it, and then just said ”that makes sense.”
He then made a ball of light in his hand and said that it gives you the skill to use any light related support skills. Chris also explained that his current level of light would be above that of a arch priest but still below the goddess of sun.
Seeing all the light powers and similarity to Pyrra and seeing the holy people, I decided that the next place to go to was the church. Restarting time you could see everything regain its natural color. We made our way to the holy people and asked them where the church was. They were very kind and said that they where on their way there.
We walked for about ten minutes before we got to a big church that had stained glass in the shape of the sun. Stepping inside, you could see a statues of the goddess of choice, goddess of the sun, god of elements, and god of peace. They were all up on a high area looking down onto the symbol of the sun which was being illuminated by a skylight right above it.
”Praise the sun much eh?” I whispered loud enough for Chris to hear
”Haha, you think they're going to say it?”
”Probably not”
