Chapter 4

Change his life, see a new world. The life of a hero in a fantasy world sounded like it would be an uplifting and amazing experience. It was too bad that this brave new world was essentially no different than the world that he had grown up in, in some ways. If you had no money, life was tough.

When you are tossed into a brave new world with nothing but the clothes on your back things tend to be rough. Still, at least it was an interesting world.

Whenever he learned something new, a little message screen would pop up to tell him about the new skill. If he found an interesting item, made a friend, or earned some money something similar would happen.

This would happen so frequently that he expected to see it happen for every little thing that he did. When a triumphant fanfare echoed from his stall in a public bathroom after completing a call of nature, it had been rather disturbing. The announcer who had proclaimed, “You acquired lubricated condoms!” when he finished purchasing some of them for his first quest in this world had provided the opportunity to undergo a particularly embarrassing moment.

Since then he had sought out quests that allowed him to leave town. He did not intend to receive any more vibrant fanfares for surviving the lunch hour special at Tasty’s Taco Terror. He certainly did not want someone hearing about it every time he bought condoms or laxatives! No wonder people farmed out jobs like that.

“J-job? You mean work? I’m a dragon! I am meant to rule, not do manual labor!” She pressed her thighs together, crossed one arm over her magnificent breasts, and then looked away from him.

He sighed. “You know, you don’t have to be a waitress, right? There’s no reason to let random guys grab your ass for tips.”

She pouted at him then shook her head. “This is unacceptable! I don’t want to be separated from you when you’re here! What if you end up liking the job, huh? What about our plans, master!”

“This is for those plans Scarlet. We need the money, and fighting monsters right now will get me killed even with you helping. I haven’t managed to beat even one more monster since that first one. We’ve tried it repeatedly. I’m just not ready, yet. Even those damned rabbits kick my ass. Hell, the steel-fang wolf that popped up out of nowhere kicked the crap out of you.”
