Copper Inn.
Copper Inn was cheapest Inn out of all three Inn's in E-Rantel, it normally is associated by Adventurers from Cooper, Iron and Silver rank.
Normally is the usual case.
But that normality has been broken today.
Innkeeper, the owner of the Copper Inn has been Adventurer himself in past, he reached Gold-Rank which by itself was the highest class a normal person without any talent could reach.
And he was proud of that fact.
Indeed.
The Innkeeper is a fearsome-looking man that was between imposing and bestial. His head was shaved. There were scars all over not just his face but on his arms. The Innkeeper wore a dirty apron and usually rolled up his sleeves revealing his scars. In truth, he more or less resembled a bouncer.
And due to his past as Gold-Ranked Adventurer and his connections, he has been able to open up another Inn in E-Rantel, rising numbers of Inn's to three. The main purpose of Cooper Inn was for beginner Adventurers to form teams there, gather informations, get to know each other, test skills with other of the same rank.
And of course, for him to give advice's to young bunch.
But that all broken by appearance of 'Super Rookie' . That's what they call him now, a man wearing all dark blue and black and going by name of Capitano.
In his humble opinion, Capitano is weird name. But what can you do, you can't chose what your mother names you. Right?
He is solo Adventurer which by itself is rarity, his team is called 'Frost Knight' which supposedly is related to his Ice-like talent that he has heard about from other people.
But 'Super Rookie' nickname has been given to him apparently because he was promoted to Platinum-Rank instead of Bronze-Rank at registration, due to his actions in helping restraining one of the Sixth Colored Scriptures.
Which is impressive none the less.
Gold-Ranked and Platinum-Ranked Adventurers should stay in Silver-Ranked Inn, a better Inn from his Cooper Inn by several standards. But this man. He got some nerves to break the tradition..
~Thick Mark~
"As I said, you should go to Silver-Ranked Inn, that Inn is much better than my own and is created for someone of you rank!" Innkeeper argues before pointing at 'Super Rookie's ' plate that is wrapped around his neck with colors of Platinum and words 'Platinum-Rank' written on them. " You are Platinum-Ranked Adventurer and as such you would need proper Inn otherwise your reputation may plummet and you could earn unfavorable nicknames and people may think you are poor!"
Innkeeper had argued with 'Super Rookie' for minutes already, and 'Super Rookie' is not retreating at all and seems undisturbed by his reprimands.
Such tolerance Innkeeper could only respect.
In Adventurer's line of job, people need to keep cool head to analyse their situation calmly or they might lose their heads too early.
Normally, everyone expected from someone as 'Super Rookie' to be hot headed and Arrogant pal after being promoted to Platinum-Rank at first day.
So did Innkeeper also think, but his previous Image of 'Super Rookie' has been broken after several exchanges with this man.
Humble man.
It's the only thing that comes up on Innkeeper's mind after he exchanged several words with the man.
It's something not seen these days, even Gold-Ranked Adventurers would think they are hot fishes, and even more is expected from higher ranked Adventurers.
"I Insist on taking the best room you have for one person," But 'Super Rookie' still insist.
Both Innkeeper and 'Super Rookie' were going back and forth for minutes already.
Innkeeper stared at him for good minute, without blinking even once.
Innkeeper opened one of the numerous drawers on his desk before pulling out one key.
"Third Floor, Last room on right side. One day with three meals would be 2 Silvers. Don't blame me for your reputation, I warned you. Meals will be delivered at 9 AM, 3 PM And 7 PM." Innkeeper warned him before handing him the key.
'Super Rookie' gave him two silver coins in return before walking away in direction of stairs.
As rookie walked, he got stopped by bald Adventurer wearing leather armor who decided to put his leg on floor in front of rookie, causing 'Super Rookie' to hit his leg.
Oh here we go again, these guys are always picking on Rookies under disguise of 'Test of Courage'. It's a test where other Adventurers test newbies to see if they do have balls or not.
Innkeeper expected them to not test 'Super Rookie' due to his 'super promotion' but he seems to have been wrong.
He couldn't help snorting to himself, but the second he snorted. The man who was supposed to test courage of 'Super Rookie' was thrown across the whole Inn directly out of the doors leading to Inn.
This shocked everyone.
The display of strength was truly worthy of Platinum-Rank. There was no mistake. He did not get promoted by connections if even someone though so, their beliefs were proven wrong from the way 'Super Rookie' grabbed bald man by neck and threw him dozen meters away with ease before continuing his walk up to stairs. As if nothing has happened.
The bald Adventurer was not even worthy of being in his presence, that's how it seemed to everyone.
Innkeeper was impressed, Capitano got balls after all.
Change of POV: Velzard
The room I paid for is way better than the ones from Carne Village, truly even if it's the cheapest and supposedly worst Inn. Inn, it's still way better than Village.
Room itself is covered with wooden walls and floors. in the middle of the room is one bed for one person of course. And there is window at the front of the room.
At corner of the room, precisely at right side of the bed is small table, probably so you can sit on bed and eat from the table.
And at other side of the room is cabinet, for clothes obviously. But near that cabinet are another doors.
I walked up to them and opened them, inside is toilet and bathtub. Interior is white.
Hmm, but near bathtub is something similar to boiler, underneath that boiler is pipe, probably leading water into boiler. And in front of it is smaller pipe leading to bathtub and connected with weird variant of valve but smaller, wooden variant of course.
And below boiler is fire pit surrounded by stones, but when I looked around the room I found another circular-metal like plate with small 2 meter long pipe which I placed around Fire Pit and turned the pipe so it leads out of the window ..
I should also mention that apparently this entire bathroom is made out of stone walls, I suppose this building is half wood and half stones. But how many times did it catch on fire like this?
And at corner of bathrooms are small bags of small pieces of wood and charcoal
This is medieval age with fantasy flavor, it has some things identical to modern age but it's fascinating..
It's fascinating.
Well that's about it.
I crouched down and took small pieces of wood from the corner, along with what appears to be two sets of stones and quite amount of straws.
I suppose these stones are the ones that can catch on fire, flint or whatever is it called. I brought them several times on each other.
Without waiting much, I set up the fire in fire pit below boiler with help of precious stones.. What is the worst that can happen? I'm literally The Frost Dragon, this room will not catch on fire under my watch!
While the fire grows larger, I slowly put small pieces of wood inside it from the opening of circular plate I put on between Fire pit and Boiler.
Design was mediocre but considering this is fantasy world with technology of Medieval Age I suppose this is very good. But again, this is best room in cheapest Inn, this makes me curious what rooms are in other Inn's, of course the best rooms only.
It will probably take 30 minutes or something for water to be warm enough for me to take a bath.
With that in mind, I exited from the bathroom before making my [Capitano's Armor] to disappear back into inventory by un-equip..
[Image MC= Without Armor] I don't own this Image!
After equipping [Capitano's Armor] I did not take it off even once. And considering I was in Great Forest of Tob around 2 hours more or less trying to process my reincarnation, I did not properly check out my body...
And since bathroom has a mirror I couldn't fight off my curiosity.
And so I walked into bathroom and turned around to look at Mirror.
But.
Weirdly, despite looking at my face I'm not captivated, I'm not feeling anything....
Before my reincarnation, I would just marvel at her style if I were to see it and wonder how she would look like in real life.
But yet. Right now and here I don't feel anything at all..
Could it be?
Did my sexual orientation change along with my body? Could it be possible? That entity or whatever it was managed to reincarnate me into adult body replica of Velzard from Tensura into Overlord, so that wouldn't be out of options for it to do.
But those entities goals are unknown, it did not explain to me any reason on why or why me did it reincarnate. Why did it give me second chance?
I had family on Earth, I loved them, they loved me..
I suppose anything never goes as you expect it. Some people simply are doomed for failure from the start, now I can only look for future and improve for future.
My mother would want so...
As I thought of never seeing my mother ever again, woman who gave birth to me. A single tear pored out of my right eye, but the moment it did so it turned into ice.
I gasped.
I'm truly not Human anymore, I can't even cry..
But this second chance, I won't waste it!
I clenched my hands, noticing comfortable fabric of my dress clinging to my body comfortably.
This dress.. It's too revealing! It's made as if to show my superiority over other women!
Bad thoughts begone!
"But I need to buy more clothes or at least some 'less revealing' like this one. " I said out aloud, wincing slightly at unfamiliar feminine voice leaving my lips. Yes, Indeed it has been two days since I last heard it then it Changed into Capitano's voice due to [Capitano's Armor] enchantment.
"It's gonna take a lot of time to get adapted to this new voice, what would they call this voice? Beautiful or seductive?" I asked myself before crouching down near Pit Fire to put more wood into it and then leaving bathroom to go and lie on bed.
"It's pretty comfortable." I though as lay on bed but then a thought appeared on my mind, a peculiar though. I stood up immediately from bed to look at what I'm wearing on my foot.
"Shit, I had been wearing High-Heels from the looks of it and I didn't notice it this entire team? Maybe it makes sense, I had been wearing them for about 2 hours in Forest and minutes here. But I don't feel uncomfortable in wearing them, it's as if my body had been wearing them for a long time." I murmured to myself before I decided to take off my gloves and inspect my hand this time without gloves.
A delicate hand indeed.
Sure, my skin is pale, pale as snow, not as pale as Shalltear's skin but it's halfway there.
"Pale as Narberal Gamma.."
Then Idea struck me. I had damn inventory full of clothes, but most of them were dresses but there must be some less revealing dresses, at least less revealing than the one i'm wearing right now...
"Anything might be better option than this one.." I though as I glanced at my cleavage, it's as if it's fan service at it's finest! "Let's see, I will equip one later and go shopping for some less revealing clothes, preferably male clothes and probably underwear.."
I gulped at that, that will be pain..
"Inventory." I muttered and inventory appeared in my vision. It's good thing I can open it and research it like I'm doing now and I can summon precise equipment with explicit order of inventory in my mind, otherwise it would be pain summoning Inventory and searching through it in battle.
And as expected.
I have 20 Minor Healing Potions.
One Minor Healing Potion is equal to 2nd Tier Magic in it's quality which by this world standards is astronomical.
I should buy couple dozen of those blue healing potions later when I gain more money from quests just in case. Better be cautious.
Next is Basket that Enri and Nemu gave me, I stored it inside my Inventory since I did not want to take off me helmet to eat.
With that in mind I clicked on Basket and thus it appeared in my right hand, I took off blanket concealing basket and sweet aroma entered and penetrated the room. Mind you, I lessened my senses to normal Human level right now, otherwise all senses around would probably overwhelm me.
In the basket are fruits and Apple pie that has been divided into six pieces.
Hmm.
I couldn't help smiling at sign of thanks from Enri, she is truly good child.
Without waiting further I took out one of the slices and took one bite.
Not bad, Apple Pie or anything sweet is not usually my style of favorite foods but considering that I'm inside new world, I truly want to enjoy every delicacies I can run into.
While I eating, I glanced at my inventory and looked at Items inside it.
Remaining Items look familiar, they all are outfits or rather dresses that Velzard had worn in that one game, I forgot name of that game , I think it was something like Isekai Memories. But beside them there is another addition.
It's [ Velgrynd Dress], that Chinese Dress she is always wearing to be precise.
Beside [ Velgrynd Dress] there were : [Graceful Ice Dragon Dress], [Majestic Mythical Beast Dress], [The Trickster Ice Dragon Dress], [White Ice Dragon Dress], [White Gift Dragon Dress], [White Ice Queen Dress].
Each one of those dresses is at very least..
Extravagant?
I mean they are beautiful that's for sure, but not something I would wear..
Well maybe if I do Face Reveal then [Graceful Ice Dragon Dress] might be good for keeping appearance... Who knows, I might even wear one of them one day for shit and giggles.
But out of all them, only [White Ice Dragon Dress] is most normal, it's basic dress that Velzard wore when she first appeared in Tensura, that white-blue dress with skirt. But that wouldn't really look good on Adult Velzard appearance I'm inhabiting right now.
Considering my current outfit is too revealing, that leaves only [Velgrynd Dress] for me to wear, it's most normal and while it does not help in concealing curves, it's not as much revealing as my is at least in cleavage part.
90 minutes later
I exited bathroom. It didn't take me long, but I properly cleaned myself, but I must say. No wonder we guys find woman with wet hair after bath sexy!
If someone saw me with wet hair clinging to my back, they might have gotten heart attack due to my beauty, especially if they were perverted people, who knows and maybe no one would. I don't plan to date anyone yet, we are too far away from that point yet!
I still have existential crisis to deal with after all.
But right now, I'm standing naked in my room with only blanket covering me.
I dried myself first.
Let's equip [Velgrynd Dress] first and go to sleep, it's almost Night already, I might as well try to sleep to be honest. Truly try.
I opened Inventory before clicking on [Velgrynd Dress]
[ [Velgrynd Dress] is Item equipped with small resistance to Spells up to 2nd Tier spells and below. ]
Yeah, this dress is better than your classic dresses for sure and even could be considered Kingdom's National Treasure though, considering how 3rd Tier Spells are best what normal Humans could achieve in their life. Not bad, but trash compared to Nazarick but treasure to some.
But it could be considered a Family Heirloom of Royal families at very least.
I clicked on [Equip] after warning appeared, and immediately an unfamiliar feeling placed itself on my body. So this body is not used to wearing this dress I suppose.
The dress comes along with white gloves long enough to cover my elbows and bit further with gold colored outlines at end of the dress. Not to forget white stocking almost reaching my butt too.
When I looked down, beside seeing my incredible gifted bosom, I'm also wearing another set of High-Heels, but weirdly enough, they don't seem to be uncomfortable too.
The dress itself is long enough to reach High-Heels but not enough to fall on ground, dress is black colored but most fascinating aspect of it would be golden chinesse-like Dragon covering left side of the dress. With split skirt on right side of the dress.
In another words, it's Qiqao if you want short explanation and description.
[Dress-Image] I don't own this Image!
Oh, it also comes with another set of undergarments.
"Well, let's try to sleep. It probably won't be comfortable as it looks like but tomorrow we got Undead hunting called Khajiit-Hunting." I said to myself before diving onto bed. " Ahh, some things never change, no matter in what body you end up in."
