"Haaaaa"

That was not fun at all. And I don't want so do that again. Last night was long because i had to go through a lot of stuff and loads of information. Some of them were useful, some of them were useless and some of them were straight up insane. You can't disrespect grandmaster, if you do you are dead. You can't gamble, if you do you are dead, because grandmaster doesn't like it for some reason. These are rules. And there are loop holes.

They don't care their citizens live or die. If a loner got killed and there is no one for him to lodge a complaint, they would not conduct a case. There is also another ridiculous thing, there is kind of fruit called hurkur, if you were in possession of it or there was an evidence that you did, you guessed it, DEAD.

What a god awful tyrant. Gotta give it to the man though, he live a very long life without being killed by the angry mob of people for imposing laws like that. The only good thing about him is that he makes the people happy by conducting a game called "Contest of champions" in which most of his strongest slaves duke it out with each other. Which is plenty fun for most poeple.

They are strong , very strong. The good ones are atleast tier 7 and the not so good ones are at tier 8A. God the destruction these guys could cause is no joke. I mean, if the one of the strongest champion fight they almost break the whole stadium. And people are happy about that.

There were even casualties on the audience side. But people go there to have a good time anyway. These people are like drug addict without drugs. They would do anything to get themselves high. And on this line of thought, hulk is not here yet. I don't know what timeline I am in so let's talk this about when I get stronger at least tier 8.

I get up and walk towards the closet thing and I opened it. It has the same mechanism as the front door but it doesn't close automatically. There is a manual option for that. And it's not a closet. From what I could see. It might be a toilet and it's the smallest one I have ever seen. There are buttons for shower and toilet bowl to pop out of the wall.

Isn't this whole technologically advanced thing a bit too much?. How can you even take a shower and sh*t in a 2x1 m^2 dimension. 'Okay, this is just the start as time passes I'll get used to this.' I couldn't brood over this matter an in 2 hours I have to be in a pub to take an interview.

I already know where it is and thank god it's not far away. It's quiet close to the place I'm staying about 2km away. If I walk a little faster I could be there in half an hour. I get a shower and get ready and wear the same clothes I wore yesterday because I don't have anything to change into.

I get ready and looked myself in the mirror, for the first time I guess. Wow, I'm good looking. Blond hair, blue eyes, angled face without any blemishes. I'm tall, about 186 cm (~ 6 ft) and I look quiet fit. Not jacked. I think I have to earn it , it seems.

I get ready and walk towards my door. This is a bit of a challenge. This new world, 'it's my first step towards my new life and I hope to do my best.'

I get out of the room and walk towards the elevator. I took the elevator to the ground floor. I walked out of the elevator and looked at the lounge where different kinds of aliens are sitting around and talking.

I didn't have time for the gossip and went my way. I followed the map which pointed me towards the store. As I walk around I admire the scenery. All the buildings are tall, colourful and majestic. The hovercrafts and various air vehicles are flying around in the sky. The hygiene of the city is little bit okay.

I saw some aliens that have same body structure as humans but have different skin colour. Some looked like mutated animals, some looked like a cross between humans and insects. I saw an alien with big build and four arms doing mechanical work on a hovercraft. It reminded me of four arms from Ben10, nostalgic.

In half an hour I reached the destination. I stood in front of a 10 storied building , blue and black mixed with a cuboid structure. I walk near the entrance and saw two guards standing there armed. Forget it everyone here is armed except me. I go toward the guard and he glanced warily at me and I stopped 2 meters away from him.

The both looked the same and are from the same species. I don't know if it's because they are brothers or it's because I can't differentiate alien races. God this is going to be tough. They have a light violet skin, tall physique above 2 metres. They have an M shaped hairline and it seems they prefer to so short. They were both wearing some kind of armour underneath their cloaks.

"Good day guys, I here for an interview for the position of wine maker could you guide me where to go?"

"Huh, is that so, wait here. Show me your ID and the invitation sent to you by the bar. I'll go ask Fresco about it." I just showed him what he asked for and he nodded and he turned to the other guy and Said, "hey Kobe keep an eye on him will you?"

To which the Kobe guy just nodded and didn't say anything. 'So this guy isn't much of a talker huh'. 'Couldn't he just inform them about me in their comms or something?'. I waited for 3 minutes and the guy went inside came back.

"You can go in. Go to the bar and look for Fresco, he will take charge from there. Don't cause any trouble kid, it won't end well if you do."

I just nodded my head and went inside.

The ground floor seems to be wide and there are neon signs in holographic image that pointed out where the bar is. I followed the sign and reached the bar, contrary to the popular belief the bar was crowded early in the morning. Everyone on every table here were making a ruckus and others were not bothered by it because they were doing the same.

I ignored this and walked towards the counter and looked at the two bartenders who were serving at the bar. They were both female, one looked like fox human, and has fox ears, snout nose, and a tail maybe, I couldn't look at her back. And the other looked like Gamora. Both were beautiful. I went to the green girl to ask her about Franco. She looked at me and asked,

"Hello, what can I get you?"

"Hello, I want to talk to Franco, I'm here for the interview. My name is Justin."

"Oh it's you, just go to the back and enter the first room. Franco is waiting for you." She looked a little bit surprised to see me. I nodded.

"Thanks then, I'll be on my way." As I walk away I saw the fox lady whisper something in the ear of gamora look alike and they giggled and looked at me at the same time. I got flustered a little and this made them even giggle even more. 'Are they praising my new good looks?' That's the only thought appeared in my mind.

I entered the back area and the noise made by the morning party goers were not so audible. As I walked forward I found the first room on my left and stood before it. I took a deep breath and knocked twice.

(Knock knock)

I only heard a rough voice saying "come in"

I opened the door and stepped inside the room to find it relatively clean and organised. And there was a large reading table at the end of the room. In it was siting a gigantic man, whose skin was red as blood, with muscles bulging all over his body. He didn't have any armour on him just a leather jacket and no shirt. To be honest he was a bit intimidating.

I approached him slowly and stood before his table and made an introduction.

"Hello, I'm Justin Silver. It's nice to meet you. I'm here for the wine maker interview."

He looked at me and nodded in understanding and proceeded with the talk.

"Hmm, how well do you know to make wine?"

'What kind of question is that?'

"Well it depends, what kind of wine do you want me to make?"

"So you have a recipe of your own? Can I taste it?"

"No, I don't have any stock on me, if you want I can brew you one but it'll take a pretty long time."

"Oh , is that so. Pity I didn't know the student of zeldik the brewer to not have any wine. Pity he is dead and his stocks were already sold off. It's okay. You just have to check the wine's condition and brew a batch in 2 weeks according to the recipe of the previous brewer. It's pretty good but not on par with zeldik."

'Is that my Identity here? Student of a famous brewer, nice. But what if they ask for the recipe of the previous guy, I don't have that but I don't have any. Let's just go with the flow.'

"You are in the probation for 3 months. You will be paid 200 credits every week. And after that you will be paid by how much wine you brew and the quality. In these three months you better get adapted kid, your salary is also based on the quality of wine you brew in these 3 months."

'That's it? I got the job! Technically no but yeah, I kinda got a job.'

"Thank you, I'll do my best." Then I asked him, "hey Franco, do you know where I can get a gun?"

Then Franco got puzzled, "what happened to yours?"

I said, "I got mugged and lost it." And he looked at me dubiously and asked, "And you are alive? It seems that the robber was a kind soul. Given your face, you would be sold as a sl*ve or be dead in a ditch, that's what normally happens."

I got shocked hearing him say this. It was not the response I was expecting but hey, who am going to blame except my naive self.

"Yeah, it seems so, can you help me please?"

"Yeah sure kid, 30 credits for a standard blaster, what do you say?"

"Sure, I'll take two." In case of emergency.

"You got money after being robbed. Oh, it seems you were robbed by a retard. Okay wait a minute."

I don't know how to react at the moment. 'Should I be angry at him for insinuating that I even got robbed by a retard or is that I should be ashamed that I dropped a rock at my own feet'. Damnit this is frustrating. After a few seconds I relaxed and shrugged my shoulders, this is what I get for half baked lies.
