Chapter 100 - 100. A Hundred Days To Prepare (1/2)
Vision returned to Mack's eyes as he glimpsed what was around him, but to Mack surprise looking to his right side, he found something he was not expecting.
”Yo old man, I think we bring extra luggage,”
Said Mack, pointing to the same sarcophagus that was with them in the room before activating the transportation array.
[Those guys, they always thought we were gods, if they knew.....]
Mack looked to the old man and the old man looked back to Mack as if both were reaching an agreement, then they started walking, leaving the sarcophagus behind.
For Mack, the place they were transported to was nothing different, a bunch of woods, just like any place on earth, just that the plants were a bit different, while walking Mack paid attention to them for a while but a few minutes and he was already bored.
”Where we are old man?”
[This planet is called Centaurus Three, we are here just to train you, its a remote planet but here the Essence in the environment is way better than Earth, also, it has a small population of centaurs, thus, the name]
”Is this in the same galaxy? or dimension?”
[Not the same galaxy, no, but yes, it is in the same dimension. To cross dimensions is way harder. Do you remember the 8th gate?]
”Yes, the others 'Me' came from parallel dimensions, right?”
[Correct, to do that takes a lot of resources, that gate was a kind of limbo, where parallel dimensions connected thus making it easier, it was not exactly sending you to a dimension, to send someone to another dimension is very very costly, a civilization could easily go bankrupt doing this.]
”To just send one guy?”
[Yes, now, enough of chit chat, we are almost there.]
Said the old man, pointing to a small city that could be seen when crossing a tree line.
The city itself was not big, and had a small brick wall around it, even some tall buildings could be seen behind the wall, some looked very ancient while others looked more modern and Earth like, Mack guessed the city already existed for a long time.
[Remember this well, this is a lawless place, law doesn't exist here.]
”Got it”
Said Mack, putting his right hand over the sword by his right side.
[Also, I will not protect you. This is also part of your training now. You need to defend yourself here in this city for a 100 days. I will come to you by night when you get yourself a house or a room. I have a few things I need to take care]
Said the old man, vanishing from the spot.
”AND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?? I HAVE NO MONEY!”
Screamed Mack, furious that this old man didn't even give him some local money.
And a few meters in front of Mack, a few centaurs already looked annoyed by his screaming.
~sigh~
'I hate this old man's tests. Just train me, dammit.'
