’ ’Mmh? ’ ’ Isaac ’s eyelids fluttered as they began slowly opening. Instantly, he felt wetness surrounding his body. His hair became drenched, and his clothes hugged his body tightly.

Isaac was standing right in the middle of an empty and muddy street. The sky was dark, with water pouring down rapidly. With each passing second, Isaac got more drenched.

He unstrapped the sniper rifle and put it above him as slight protection, but it couldn ’t do anything to stop from rain hitting him.

His gaze ran circles, and he tried to find some shelter. It was difficult to see from behind the rainstorm, but barely, he managed to catch a shimmer of light coming from one of the buildings.

Without further ado, he began running and soon reached a saloon-like building.

Creak!

Isaac opened the door and entered the saloon with a drenched body. He took a deep breath, and once moving the wet strands of hair out of the way, he could see many eye pairs locked at him.

The building was relatively bar-like, with elderly men and women seated around wooden tables and a bar counter with a muscular man as a bartender.

’ ’Who may you be? Never seen you before, stranger. ’ ’ The bartender asked while cleaning the already-clean cups. The elderly men and women soon turned their gazes away and focused on their discussions.

Isaac went to the bar counter and sat on a wooden stool. Then, he said, ’ ’Traveler. ’ ’

He began drying his clothes, but it was no use. Then, he received a towel from the bartender and gave a nod of gratitude in return.

After drying up his hair slightly, he opened his mouth, ’ ’Where am I? ’ ’

At first, he wanted to know where he was and then decide on his next course of action. After seeing the state of the buildings and streets, he concluded that he was in a faraway village.

’ ’Information costs. ’ ’ The bartender said while placing the cups below the counter.

Isaac nodded and took a pouch of white coins. Then, he placed it right in front of the bartender, who nodded and accepted them.

’ ’You are in a village called Rainwell. ’ ’ The bartender said.
