Chapter 219: Identification

Late Evening - Late Spring : Kingdom of Kaelallan

As I walked up to the mid-western tavern-like doors, I could hear several conversations.

"What quest should we take.."

"Is there an orc quest up?"

"You spent HOW MUCH ON THAT?!"

"Can I make a deposit?"

The noise was a bit refreshing but I knew what was going to happen as soon as I walked inside.

*Creaak*

With a light push, the doors swung open and everyone in the room looked at me.

"Haah.." Silence encompassed the entire guild. -At least I'm starting to get used to it..-

Scanning the room, I quickly found a few booths with some receptionists behind them. -I guess I'll go with her..-

The receptionist at the booth I walked up to was staring at me with a look of awe that almost looked like worship.

She was a dog demihuman with floppy ears and was fairly cute but I was still too young in this life to have developed any 'desires' yet.

"Hello, Miss." *tap-tap* I tapped the desk to try to snap her out of her trance.

"H..huh? Ah yes.. wh.. what is it you need?" Her voice was quite shaky.

"I need to get an ID, it's my first time in town."

"Ah.. okay, sure thing.. ju.. just give me a second!" She quickly turned around and ran to a table in the back of the room before shuffling through papers and running back to me.

It was a basic forum asking for things like my name, birthdate, magic aptitude ect. -Pretty basic stuff..-

"P.. please take your time.. the ID w.. will be 500 copper when you finish.." Her breathing was heavy.

-Sweet..- "Can I get change for a platinum while I'm filling this out?" I casually took the coin out of my pocket and set it on the desk.

*Clank*

The noise echoed through the silence as I felt nearly everyone in the room focus on the coin.

Even the receptionist didn't immediately know how to react. "Y.. yes... Please give me a moment!" She quickly grabbed the coin and ran into the back room.

After she left, people finally started talking again, but that came to an end as soon as some bandit looking man stood up and walked towards me.

"Hey kid.." He was towering over me. "Where'd you get that coin?"

Not even bothering to turn around, I gave him a nonchalant response. "From my mother."

A devious smile appeared on his face thinking I'd be easy prey. "How about you give me one?"

I rolled my eyes at his confidence. "Why would I give you one?"

"Well, if you give me a coin, I can.. show you around town." The way he looked at me gave me a visceral disgust.

*BANG-fwoosh*

Channeling my disgust into a punch, I sent him flying out of the guild doors and into the street.

"Creep.." My voice echoed through the minds of everyone in the room.

Not long after I sat back down, the receptionist returned. "Sir.. would you like to.. um.. open a bank account with the guild?"

-This world has banks for the common folk?- It was quite a shocking discovery. "How do banks work here? Also please feel free to speak comfortably."

The shakiness in her voice didn't go away though. "W.. well.. we will get you a card that will 'hold' your gold.. so you can carry just that card instead of a bag of coins. You can also deposit coins with us for us to hold onto.."

-Wow.. they even have cards?!- I was instantly intrigued. "How does the card work?"

As she sifted through papers, she gave a short explanation. "Ahh.. well.. put simply, its an artifact that uses light magic to keep track of the balance.."

-Couldn't that be manipulated?- I was quick to think of a few exploits, but figured it was just because I didn't know the details. "I guess I might as well get one then."

"Alright then.. please give me a moment.." Without hesitation she went back to a table with an artifact on it.

-Well I finished the form..- It didnt take long for me to finish the form, of course limiting certain information about my strength since it would just cause problems if I was truthful.

I also didn't use the last name Ragnarok either, according to Father, it would cause more problems so he told me to use the last name Whyte. -Does the name Ragnarok mean something special in human society?-

As I was thinking, the receptionist came back. "Are you done with the forum, sir?"

"Ah, yes. Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

"Please don't apologize." She quickly took the forum and set in on the artifact she moved to her desk.

Almost immediately after, a small card popped out that she handed to me.

"This will be your ID and your bank card, this light in the top means the card is active and its color determines your criminal record.. if you want to see your balance, please place your thumb here.." She pointed to a blank corner of the card.

Pressing my thumb on it, a number was displayed at the top of the ID. '99,999,300.00c' (copper)

-So it was 500 copper for the ID and 200 for the account… How cool..- It was truly amazing to see just how advanced and cheap the artifact was.

"Is there anything else you need?" The shakiness in her voice finally started to subside.

"Actually yes, do you know of any good restaurants around here?"

Her eyes instantly lit up. "Yes! If you go out, take a left then take your first right, the 3rd building on your right will be a nice bar, it's a little expensive but the food is good."

"Okay, thank you!" Standing back up, I got ready to leave. "Well if that's everything, I'll be going."

"Y..yes, please enjoy yourself! If you ever come back and need anything, my name is Ellen." She gave a polite bow.

-Ellen… She was quite helpful..- I made a mental note to help her if the situation arose as I left. "Thanks for your help."

The instant I walked outside, chatter erupted within the guild.

"Who was that?!"

"He absolutely DESTROYED Iron Bull!"

"He was quite dreamy.."

"You like guys?!"

-Pfft..- Their conversations caught me a little off guard.

"Haahhhh.." Letting out a long sigh Ellen leaned back into her seat and looked down at the ID form. "I wonder how much of this is even real.."

Trying to ignore the commotion inside, I picked up Ilios and started heading to the bar. "How about we go get some food?"

Following Ellens directions, we ended up turning onto a narrow and dimly lit road. It was a bit sketchy but was also quite beautiful.

As we continued down the road, we eventually came up to building with a sign of a fork and wooden mug on it. -That must be it..-

*Creaak*

I enthusiastically pushed open the doors and walked inside with Ilios. -Lets see what this world's cuisine is like!-
