Another Stupid Isekai

I barely remember the second half of the night. There was a forest with its trees, and bushes, then at some point I got to the wall, then also buildings showed up. I remember them in daylight, so it probably was somewhere in the morning. I can recall that it was very cold, and I couldn’t feel my legs.

Maybe that’s because I was so focused on walking, or my mind just got rid of traumatic memories.

Yeah… Then there were also people. Watching me and talking, but I couldn’t understand a thing. Somehow I made it all the way to the device. Put my hand on it, and closed my eyelids. Well, they actually closed on their own, all I did was to stop preventing them from it.

Familiar things showed in my mind. I quickly browsed healing options, and there it was. Complete restoration of the wounded area, and replenishment of blood loss. All for only 15k points and 99 cents. I didn’t have that much. That’s when I first thought about the backpack, and it was still on my back. I took it down and desperately rummaged through it. Definitely, a lot of things were gone, but there were some crystals, so I threw the whole thing on the glyph and touched the device again.

Crystals turned into points, 6480 points to be exact, and that was enough. I bought the heal and just collapsed. Didn’t lose my consciousness though, but just couldn’t get up for a moment. I probably laughed, which made more people look at me.

I was about to take my backpack and get up, but somebody else put his hand on it. You know the guy. Nacho. He smiled at me

– People! – he yelled to everybody. – This gentlemen didn’t pay the tax, and we, as tax collectors appointed by both The Mariachis and Wuxia group will now show you what happens in such cases.

[0)ᴠʟ He was looking straight into my eyes while saying the last part. Then it started. Rain of fists and kicks. I quickly curled up but it was not enough. They just kicked the shit out of me for several minutes. At some point, I just lost consciousness.

Day ended with 1561 points remaining on my account.
