Marcus POV

After walking through the forest for a few minutes we manage to reach a dirt road.

Zack: Well I'm guessing were here, Any Idea which direction we should go?

Lisa: I think I might have an idea. Look at the trail someone been here on a cart pulled by a horse recently as well.

Zack: Well that made things whole lot easier. Marcus can you send some drones to scout up head.

Marcus: Already on it. Anyway, let's go I REALLY don't want to sleep outdoors tonight.

Again, I send the same five drones to scan the path were taking in a fan shape area. Instead of pulling my data pad while walking, I transfer it to my SCE-V3 visor to see enemy outlines and other useful data it gathers.

Marcus: Alright if anything is out of the ordinary or if I spot "something" alive I'll know it.

Zack: alrighty. Lets a go.

Lisa: ...The trail leads the other way.

Zack: Lets a go.

We are going to die out here.

After about 20 minutes of walking the dirt path, an enemy's outline showed up in the distance along with a cart in the center of them. After my drone scanned the enemy, I took a glance of their status to see what we're up against.

Damn their weak. Hope the scanner isn't broken after the explosion.

Marcus: Hey guys, we got people up ahead. Drones says there about 28 and they are surrounding a carriage that we been following. Also, I'll send you the information of the enemy were up against.

Zack: ...You sure this is right?

Lisa: That's low, but holy crap that's LOW.

Marcus: That's what the drones got for me. Just hope the explosion doesn't affect my equipment as well.

Zack: Well whatever I'm sure you can fix it later. Let's go see if they have something to loot.

Third POV

Maroko: Don't worry just give us your belongings and will let you go. Knight honor *laughs*.

As the bandits all began to laugh while holding a bloody knife that he just stabs to the coach driver, the girl holdup in the cart is ready to fight but an older gentleman is holding her back.

???: My little girl please don't do this just give them what they want and we both part ways

Maroko: listen to the old man nobody else have to get hurt today.

Zack POV

Damn just what we needed a bandit attack on our only trial to civilization. I wonder what information they can tell us if this is another world. Also, I thought we are following a normal trading Carriage, not a Carriage that looks fancy as hell. Well whatever let's get this over with.

Zack: HELLO

As I said those words all the bandits look at the three of us. Marcus may have sent me some data on a few of these people, but I wonder if the scanner is broken or if he's special.

Strength: B+

Vitality: C-

Dexterity: G+

Agility: G+

Magic: I

Stasis: None

Title: Leader of the Bandit Inferno party, Ex-Adventure

Again, nothing interesting, I guess Marcus drones not broken after all.

Maroko: Kids? What are they doing here?

Zack: Can you help us, were lost.

As I said those words, the bandit walks towards us and began to smile with a grin that can stretch to inhuman level.

Maroko: WHY SURE WE'LL HELP YOU. IS THAT RIGHT BOYS?

Again, the other bandits began to laugh and walk towards the three of us.

???: KIDS WHAT ARE YOU DOING? RUN!!!

As the girl in the cart said those words, some of the bandits turn their heads to the voice. Sadly for them, it was the last thing they ever did as Lisa magic created earth spikes under the bandits killing a few instantly while some are left a slow and painful death.

Maroko: WHAT THE HELL?!?!

Zack: You know that it is rude to turn your head away when someone is talking to you.

As he turns around, I decided to give him a simple uppercut to the chin in hopes to keep him alive. Sadly, it did not work as intended and the head came clean off from his body rolling towards the other bandits stopping by their feet. With the turn of unexpected event, many of the bandits are left speechless while others are in a panic.

???: I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS.

???: DEMONS! THEY'RE DEMONS!!!

???: RUN!!!

I saw that some of them ran into the forest while others stayed on the dirt road pleading for their life.

Zack: Oh, c'mon you guys chose to be bandits. So, what's wrong dying like one

As I gave the same grin that they gave us, many of many of them realize their uninvadable death. Some could not process what was going to happen as Lisa sends fireballs and hits them causing many screams of pain until they went silent.

Lisa: Well you were right we are in a different world. Also, it's nice to know that my magic still works here as well.

Marcus: Yea sorry for doubting you. By the way, what language they were talking and what did they say?

Zack: You serious? They were talking words and I just responded to their question?

Lisa: Must be his faction that's why he could not understand the words.

Zack: Well if you put it that way, I guess it makes since. Anyway, did you kill the runners Marcus?

Marcus: Yea. The second they enter the forest, the scout drones' gun them down. Almost feel sorry for them. Anyway, let's start looting. We are going to need money and supplies.

Zack: Marcus start looting the people in the forest. Lisa and I will loot the people here and we might have to talk to some of them very soon.

Lisa: By the way Marcus, you might want to put on a full outfit covering your body. Because when I kill one of the bandits and received part of his memory, apparently humans with black hair and eyes are a symbol of death and you will be hunted down by everyone in the world if you know what I mean.

Marcus: Thanks for the heads up.

As I look at Marcus changing his appearance again, he took on a white and red plague doctor outfit with a damage white cape with burnt marks and holes on it, carrying a satchel over his shoulder, and having some potion on his belt.

Zack: Very nice, anyway we might have to hurry it up. And Lisa follow my lead.

As the three of us turn our head to the cart, an old man wearing a white tuxedo along with a top hat, and a girl who looks to be about 16 years, wearing a brown with white outlines brown drills hairstyle walking towards us. The three of us split up to loot the bodies. The Old man walk to the injured man and perform what I to believe to be healing magic on his wounds, all the while the girl with the drills walk to us and started to yell at us.

???: ARE YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED?

As I tried to find how we can get through this situation, I remember I have an appearance of a child.

Zack: Sister look, *points to the girl with drills* were saved or are they the enemy as well?

Lisa please follow my lead please follow my lead ple-

Lisa: Brother, I don't sense any killing intent from her. I believe that she is a good person, for now.

LISA, I LOVE YOU

Zack: Ok. *turn head to the girl* Can you help us lady.

???: umm with what.

Zack: where is the nearest town?

As I said that I look at the old man who seems to be helping the cart master who is looking very pale.

Zack: Big sister look. *points to the injured man* can you help him?

Lisa: hmm, I will see what I can do.

As Lisa walk over to the injured man, Marcus came back presumably already looted the bodies. I recall that Marcus can't understand the people in this world, so I text him an in-game message and hope everything worked out in the end.

"Marcus, play along and whatever you do, DO NOT SPEAK."

"Trust me even if I wanted to, I have no reason to."

"Alright good. Anyway, will be texting you in-game until everything works out. Let's go check on Lisa. And grab the bandit's leader head, he might be worth something"

As I walk over to Lisa, she was treating the wound of the cart master while the old dude watch

in amazement. Out of curiosity I looked at both of their stats.

Interesting. I saw Lisa hands were glowing then it stops. The next thing that happen was the

cart master woke up and began to check the wound.

Connor: What happen?

Old man: This little angel saved your life.

Connor: Is that so? Well thank you young lass the name

Lisa: Likewise.

As those two were exchanging greeting, the old man intervenes.

Sebastian: Well if you like to know, my name is . And my granddaughter over there is named.

As he said that he looks at his granddaughter and she straighten herself up out of respect .

Emily: Hello, my name is Emily Von Cruz. It is a pleasure to meet you * bows*

Sebastian: *cough* And would you be so kindly to give us your names.

Lisa: Hmm.

Zack: I don't know?

Marcus: ...

Sebastian: Umm may I ask why you don't know, and why your...friend is not talking?

Zack: I don't have one. Names are unnecessary, and brother don't talk a lot.

I can see that Sebastian is starting to get nerves.

Sebastian: Well if you don't have anywhere to go, why don't we give you a ride. There is a town that we are going is about 4 hours from here.

Lisa: We would love that.

Zack: FINALLY, I'm getting tired of walking.

Marcus: ...

Emily: FATHER!!!

Sebastian: No buts young lady. These people have saved us it's the least that we can do. Now please follow me.

The old man leads the three of us to the carriage, only to be meet with only enough room for four people. Without hesitation, Marcus decided to sit next to the coach master on the front. I was the first one to step in follow by the old man who sat across from me. Lisa sat next to me and across from her was the old man granddaughter. All was quiet for the first hour. Lisa and Emily were both reading their book, the old man keep looking at her granddaughter with worry while I was looking out the window daydreaming and mentally preparing to see what happen next. The silent was broken when the granddaughter began to spoke to Lisa.

Emily: hey umm, may I ask this question? Are you blind?

Lisa: No, I can still see very well.

Emily: Umm may I ask what book are you reading?

Lisa: I'm just going over some notes that I wrote down about magic.

Emily: May I see it?

Lisa: If you allow me to see your book as well.

Emily: It is also about magic, but it mainly focuses about beginner level magic and magic formations. So, I believe it will help you.

As Emily said those words, I notice that Lisa had a very familiar grin on her face.

Lisa: Very well, please don't damage it.

As they both exchange the book they had, Lisa smile became a frown of disappointment. While Emily was having a very confused face. Turn the book sideways and even upside down. The old man got curious and took a quick glance of the book. The old man became shock and took the book away from Emily and began to read and absorb as much information until Lisa snatch the book back and gave Emily her book back.

Sebastian: little girl, do you mind if I can look in the book for a bit longer?

Lisa: Yes, I do mind.

The old man had a depressed look on his face then he turns his head towards me. I slowly turn my head out the window and pretend to ignore him. The old man just put his head down in sorrow. About five minutes after this event, I received a group message from Marcus.

Alright guys I got something.

What is it?

Our base is not completely destroyed. The main room, shop area, and my workstation suffered minor damage with low radiation. Sadly, most of the other area are caved in with rubble, suffer major damage, or went offline along with all of them having major radiation levels.

Ok so that happen to our base, but how is that going to help us?

If we can get the base operational, there are new blueprints that may and may not help us.

Alright but first we need information on this world. once we get somewhere private teleport us to the base.

About that... The spawn pad is broken so I can't teleport you guys and since that happen my conscious may be in the base, but my body is still next to Connor on the carriage. Even if I get the teleport pads repair, I will need to create new data tags for you guys or else the security system will incinerate you guys on site.

I would love to stay alive so try to get it fix when you have the time.

Sorry to interrupt but I may have some information about our situation, but it may not be much. Firstly, we are on a planet Called Salouna. Named after one of the gods who created this planet and help the many races against the demon enemy during the great war. Another thing is that the currency from this place goes from 10's. 100 copper = 1 silver. 100 silver = 1 gold. 100 gold = 1 platinum etc. etc.

How do you know this Lisa?

When we killed the bandit, I absorb some of their memory and things happen.

That's seems useful and terrifying.

Hey Lisa, you told me to hide my black hair and eyes. Do you know anything about that?

To sum it up during the great war there were a group of heroes one of which has black hair when the war was finish, he attacks the other heroes and joined the remaining demon army and help them rebuild the aftermath. And since then, anybody that have black hair will be targeted by the church and its followers.

Damn, religion is scary. Anyway, Marcus were almost at the city.

As I sent the message to Marcus, the old man turns his head out the window telling us we were outside the city. I can't tell much by what the city looks like since there was a wall about 6 meters (19.6 feet) tall. The old man then he requests to see Lisa's book. Again, he was denied seeing it which cause him to look at the ground again. I wonder what will happen once we are inside the city. We still got time before the sun gets dark.
