ISEKAI: CHEATER'S ADVENTURES IN A FANTASY WORLD

ABOUT THE NEW WORLD

I explained to grandfather about our origins, and what happened to us was thrown into this world.

There is no point in hiding the truth that we are not of this world.

Grandpa had expected all that.

He listened enthusiastically to my explanation, like a happy little boy reading a fairy tale by his mother.

But there's one thing I didn't tell grandfather, which was about the SELFIWOR Game and Earth.

I tell it as if – if our world is very similar to this world.

All explanations will be easier.

“i was expecting it. Because it is too strange if you do not have the slightest knowledge of this world”.

“right once. Sorry for hiding this problem earlier”.

“no need to apologize, you guys didn't do any mistake”.

“thank you very much”.

“other worlds yes....”.

Grandfather held his chin while looking at the ceiling of his house.

“You are not too surprised after knowing it, have you ever met anyone like us before?”.

“no. This is for the first time”.

“so ya”.

“but..... a thousand years ago something similar happened”.

“really?”.

“ya. A legend about ‘Seven Heroes who fought against the Demon King Abaddon’. Everyone in this world must know his story”.

“ohh yes. I am very interested to hear his story”.

My grandfather started telling me about the legend.

Seven Heroes who fight against Demon King Abaddon.

One day in several kingdoms, there appeared seven people who claimed to be from another world.

They have powers that no one in the world has, and they are strong.

The seven people had different abilities according to his nickname.

the sword god, the absolute defense, the eagle eye, the summoner, the iron fist, the lightning man, and the magic goddess.

Just sec...

I think there's a story like this.

But where is it?.

Ah already. Let's move on.

Long story short, Demon King Abaddon out of the world of Hell.

He declared war on all races of the world, and said he would take power.

At that time many kingdoms were built, but because of the invasion of the Demon King Abaddon many kingdoms perished.

The remaining seven kingdoms of – each have the greatest fighters from another world, uniting their powers to fight back.

They mobilized all the soldiers they had even got help from the best adventurers and races from all over the country to put up a fight.

Demon King Abaddon also deployed an army consisting of the Demon Race and Monsters.

War breaks out, millions of lives are lost.

After – days of fighting, Demon King Abaddon was pushed back.

And at that time he was defeated by the seven strongest people from the other world.

Because of that achievement, they are called ‘Seven Heroes’.

The And's.

I wonder if our goal was to be sent to this world as well to fight against the Demon King.

If the goal is like that, then I will file a protest with the author.

What – this fuck, who would want to fight the Demon King.

It's good to make such a setting.

I better wait for her granddaughter Emie's grandfather to grow up, then marry her.

Living happily in a small village as a farmer and surrounded by many children.

How happy my life would be if that happened.

Okay.. Devid, from now on you'll take over my duties as the Main Character.

Ahhhh.

Let's tackle this unimportant joke.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So a thousand years ago also had the arrival of people from another world.

Grandfather did not tell in detail, like their names or what their previous world was like.

So I can't get any information about the reason and who sent us here.

Maybe when I get to the capital, I'll find out more.

For now I have to focus on the plan ahead, which is to find ‘ Aynie, The Holy Witch Girl’.

I asked grandfather to explain about the contents of the map he brought earlier.

This village is located in the Eastern part of the Kingdom ‘Plum Arsenik’.

Plum Arsenic Kingdom Also called ‘Kingdom Air’, because in the Royal Capital the kingdom is surrounded by a naturally formed river.

To reach the destination to the capital, grandfather advised us to go to Lettluce City.

The city is located on the edge of the largest river in the kingdom, and its rivers are directly connected to the capital.

Passing the river will shorten the time to the capital.

Conversely, if by land it will take approximately two months using a horse carriage.

Getting to Lettluce takes about a month.

Indeed, a very long journey related to the absence of public transportation such as Trains or planes.

I wonder, if the seven heroes are from the same world as me, why would they not suggest to make such a means of transportation.

A thousand years ago there were steam trains and cars.

Whatever it is, this world is far too outdated.

I also asked my grandfather to explain about the money system in this world.

In any world money is important, without money we would not be able to fulfill life.

To travel far we need a lot of money.

Therefore, knowledge of money is really needed.

There are five types of money in this world;

Rat coins, snake coins, eagle coins, lion coins, and dragon coins.

When converted it will be like this.

1 snake coin \= 10 mouse coins

1 eagle coin \= 5 snake coins

1 lion coin \= 2 eagle coins

1 dragon coin \= 10 lion coins

All the kingdoms use the same currency.

If you want to travel to another kingdom, there is no need to exchange currency.

It's not practical.

I still regret that the money I have from SELIFWOR Game cannot be used, it is all because of Inventory that cannot be accessed.

But even if it could, that much money would only be a pile of trash because it was useless in this world.

“I suggest that you guys become adventurer”.

“with the abilities you have, I'm sure you can run even the hardest missions”.

“your rating is too high, I personally am not as great as it”.

“you're too low, do you know the Monster's threat level in the forest?”.

“no.. all I know is they are very weak”.

“maybe people as strong as you can think of it that way.but not for people in this world, even experienced fighters will choose to stay away from it. because the Monster always attacks in groups”.

“really? I can't imagine it. Indeed how big is the threat level of the Monster?”.

“level -2. But if they were all in groups, then the threat level would be level - 3”.

“really? Then what monsters are at the highest level individually?”.

“level -5, Dragon Lord”.

So the monsters in this world are classified based on the level of threat he has.

From level - 1 to level - 5.

I don't know how strong a Monster is at each level.

But since the Monsters within the giant forest that I defeated were at levels - 2 to -3, perhaps level -5 like the Dragon Lord I could still defeat at full strength.

Yes, I can say that because I haven't met him.

Since the highly avoidable level-3 Monster I could defeat easily, that's what made me think so.

“I had goosebumps when I heard you could beat fifty more than them”.

“i also had a goosebumps when you said Monster is dangerous”.

“really?.. hahahaha...”.

“hehehe..”.

Grandpa laughed so much that his eyes watered, but I myself did not know what was funny about my response.

Maybe grandfather is the type of person who laughs easily even if it's not funny.

“well. Back to the discussion about adventurers earlier!”.

“owh. yes. Please continue”.

“my son once said that the higher the difficulty level of his mission, the more expensive the pay”.

“really!. How expensive?”.

“one to two dragon coins, maybe”.

That one dragon coin was not a bit.

If it's in Rupiah, it's probably about a million.

“ very interesting, maybe I will try it when I get to the city”.

“ya, you should try it. Stop by the adventurer Guild can get there”.

“well. Thank you for the advice Mr. Sterne”.

“equal – Equal Nak Baychimo”.

“call just Ran”.

“cannot, it is impolite to call this village savior by his first name”.

Eeehhh. wait.. wait..

What does it mean to be disrespectful!, what in the world has rules about naming people.

Oia. if you remember – remember again grandfather never called me Ran, but Baychimo.

Well then, let's find out..

“why is that?, are there any separate rules about mentioning someone's name?”.

“not a rule, it's just a matter of courtesy”.

“so yes. Can you explain it, it will be a problem if I do not know it someday”.

“alah –“.

It turns out we can't call someone's name carelessly.

If it is wrong, it will offend the person we call.

Grandfather said that in this world highly uphold the value of politeness.

Calling first names is only allowed to fellow family, close friends, or people concerned allow it.

But not passing for a person of higher status, he could call a person of lower status by first name.

For example, a noble with commoners, he could call the commoner's first name when speaking.

As for calling out the name of a newly met stranger, a person of higher status, and a respected person, should use his last name.

What about the person who has three lines of name?.

The one with the three lines of name was only a member of the royal family and nobility.

the middle name indicates how high the position level is, so to call them use their last name.

I think there are also some countries that apply first and last nicknames in my home world!.

But where is yah!.

..........

Uh. Forget it. It has nothing to do with this.

So, all this time I've been wrong to call grandfather by his first name!.

Then, I should bow my head apologizing to him.

“forgive me for my sassness to you, I'm really sorry for not knowing it”.

“eehhhh... aahh... lift your head!. That's not necessary, I don't mind that!”.

“but still, it is my fault”.

“it's okay, I already consider you guys as my close friends”.

“really!. I am very happy to hear it. Then you should also call me by the first name”.

“...hehe.well. Alright. if Nak Ran forces”.

We exchanged smiles too.

Not felt, the night was getting late.

The boisterous sounds from the villagers outside were also deserted.

Devid has also fallen asleep with his upper body lying face down on the table.

I was too busy chatting with grandfather, until – to forget his whereabouts.

I don't know since when he fell asleep, but I'm sure he's been dreaming because his saliva is reminiscing on the table.

He must be exhausted, I better wake him up and tell him to move to the bed that Grandpa had prepared.

We were loaned a two-bed room, so we wouldn't hug each other at midnight.

Today was exhausting.

A lot of things have happened.

A lot of thinking.

And there's still a lot I don't know.

But right now I have to rest, to release the fatigue in my body.

Tomorrow will have to prepare a lot for a trip to the city of Lettuce, given the distance is quite far.

I wonder how my real body is!.

If the time is the same, then there is also midnight.

Alone, dark, lonely, hungry, and cold.

Not to mention in the mosquito bite – bad mosquitoes enter from the window that has not been locked.

Aahhh. thinking about it makes me even more upset.

I'd rather sleep hoping that the wake has returned to the world.

Hope so.
