The Fate of The Reincarnated

3. After dawn

A man walked on a roof, his clothes tattered and torn and his tie within his palm. He touched the guard railing that prevented exactly what he wanted to do. "Fuck." He sighed. He hated this place. He hated his life.

"Wake up... wake up... goddamn it Sir, wake up!" Dusk screamed and Finn popped up from bed drenched in sweat.

"Christ." Finn held his head. "What is it, what do you want?"

"We have to test out your abilities."

"Let's just do this tomorrow," Finn got back in bed but jolted back up when Dusk sent a shock through his body.

"I need to gauge your strength and class, that way we can hide it more efficiently tomorrow."

"Aren't you my class or something, figure it out." Finn fell back onto the bed and Dusk shocked him again.

"I'm your assistant sir. "Dusk continued." We need to do this Sir, thats if you want to not risk being investigated for having stats above the humanly possible stat limit."

"I hate when your right." Finn opened his eyes looking straight at the ceiling. "Let's just get this over with."

Finn jumped out the semi-large window of the room he was given, it was a tight squeeze but he made it work. The city felt and looked way different than it did in the day, the dragons that soared in the sky were nowhere to be found. The lizard men that he slowly had to grow accustomed to were also nowhere in sight. "A bit empty isn't it."

"It's 3:45 Sir," Dusk stated. "That's why we're going so far into the woods to test your abilities."

"That explains a lot then."

The ambiance of the streets was brain-smoothing and mind-numbing, the coolness of the wind brushed up against his black hair making him feel even sleepier than he already was. He was cold but he already had a dark jacket over his black tee, so there wasn't really much more he could ask for.

"Here's good," Dusk said.

They'd passed about three identical forests before coming to a stop, Finn looked back and could barely see the inn from where he stood. "Sure you remember the way back?"

"Yes yes Sir, now bring out your class."

"And how exactly do I do that... open sesame? Class appear?" Finn mocked him.

"Just stretch your hand out and say Kaleidoscope," Dusk said with a slight bit of annoyance in his voice.

Finn stretched his arm out doing exactly as Dusk told him to. "Kaleidoscope." The same blue panel he saw in the white room appeared in front of him, however standing horizontally across him. Close enough that he could touch it.

"Wait I'm 16? No no that's weird, my body looks the same as it did before."

"Time was set back for the people sent to this world, to give them more time before reaching their peak." Dusk explained.

"Wait.. I have some spells?" Finn said after glossing over all the statistics.

"You really took that explanation as is huh... any way these are pretty basic starter stats, AE really wants you guys to work for it." Dusk spoke as if still reading. "Your mana is low so I wouldn't suggest doing a sp-"

[Fire magic: Flaming ball]

The ground shook and the trees cried as the spell was released, Finn looked at the destruction a few words had caused. All four giant oak trees that stood in front of him were reduced to mere ashes. "What were you saying?"

"See you in the morning Sir," Dusk said in an apologetic tone.

"What do you me-" Finn held his chest as he fell to his knees, coughing up spit and blood. It felt as if his abdomen was being split in two by a chainsaw and all he could do was suffer in pain. "Blurghh." Finn threw up the dinner he never had as he collapsed on the floor.

"You don't have enough mana to cast such a spell without that happening. Listen to me next time."

A ray of orange light beamed on his face and although he tried his best to resist opening his eyes, he jolted up when he felt an ant bite him. "Oww," Finn shouted as he swabbed at his arm trying to get the ant off.

"What are you doing sir?" Dusk asked.

"Why didn't you warn me that an ant was about to bite me." Finn scratched at his finger.

"Your resistance perk is slowly taking effect, the shocks are becoming less effective is all."

"Oh... by the way, aren't we supposed to be somewhere right about now?" Finn scratched at his head.

"Of all the people I could have been given to." Dusk sighed. "You need to be back at the guild, the exam is today."

Finn jumped through the window using the bed to cushion his landing, despite having what he thought were low agility stats he could still jump pretty high. "By the way what happened yesterday? Why did I pass out? I know I was sleepy but still."

"You used up most of your mana, it was your first time so the effects were pretty severe," Dusk explained. "To combat this I put a lock on your mana, that way you can't go over a limit that would make you immobile."

"I see." Finn walked toward the cafeteria of the inn.

"Oh, you're awake." Martha called out. "I was just about to come get you, Yelan was saying something about an adventurers test."

"Oh, crap." Finn ran towards the guild area waving at Martha as he ran.

Unlike yesterday the guild reception area was filled to the brim with what he thought were adventurers, some looking at the notice board on the wall and some talking to the receptionist. "Adventurer!" Finn kept on looking around, maybe there was someone from the cave here. Gin? Anyone would do. "Adventurer!"

"I think that's for you, sir." Dusk pointed out.

"Oh," Finn turned back and walked toward the receptionist. "Sorry, I was looking around."

"I saw, did you fill out the form I gave you?" As the receptionist asked Finn's throat clenched up.

"Umm." Finn tried to find the words.

"Look in your back pocket, I filled it out when you were passed out yesterday." Dusk sighed. "The things I use my own mana to do."

Finn nodded as if saying 'thank you' and gave the receptionist the form. "Finn Crest-Angel, it looks like your already registered in the city." The receptionist stamped the form. "Twin attacker, that's a good class. The gods must love you."

"You don't know the half of it," Dusk muttered.

"Welcome to the Ianbris guild. Sorry for not introducing myself yesterday. My name is Yelan Greeves." Yelan smiled as she spoke and Finn felt something shake in his chest.

"Flustered?" Dusk said and Finn muttered the words 'shut up'

"What about the Iron class adventurer?" Finn said looking around for a tough, burly-looking, war-torn warrior.

"I'm right here." A little girl said and Finn looked at her.

"Come again?" Finn said looking around for a strong, burly, war-torn man but the only one next to him was the small girl in a red hood, red jacket and black leggings. "Really?" Finn looked at Yelan and she nodded.

"Are you underestimating me because of my height?"

"It's not that." Finn lied.

"This is Emma Kilforhlm. She's an Iron-1 ranked adventurer. Also one of the best sorcerers here in Gales." Emma folded her arms together and nodded as Yelan spoke highly about her.

Finn still had a hard time believing this was the supposed Iron-1 adventurer that was supposed to supervise him. "I'm under your care."

As both adventurers walked out of the Ianbris guild Yelan waved while smiling shakily, "I really wish we could've found someone else to mentor him."

"What's wrong with Emma." Enca, who was another receptionist that worked for the Ianbris guild said.

"Nothing really... it's just... I forgot to tell him she's going to be his mentor till he reaches Granite." Yelan covered her face in shame

"Oof, poor kid.." Enca walked off.
