After I recalled my memories I stood up and looked around.
“It seems like I’m still wearing my school uniform but my belongings are gone.” I muttered under my breath.
There was a village to my west but the rest are plains. I could barely see the forest.
“I guess I should look around” I told myself.
As I went to the village to the west I noticed a huge line in front of me. It seems like they’re inspecting each person. As I approach the village’s gate, I got more nervous. I didn’t know how to interact with people since I was practically a loner at my school.
“Next” I heard the guard call
“Hmm, what do we have here? Could you give me your Identification Card?” the guard said
“Identification Card? Ermmm, I don’t have one.” I said
“Wait here.” as he said he walked to the other guards
As I waited I heard the guards whispering “Could he be it?” “He has no Identification Card” ‘We should imprison him for safety”
The guard went back with his sword unsheathed
“You bastard!! How dare you come back to our village?? Guards! Prison him immediately!!”
Shocked, I started to explain myself.
“What do you mean??? I just got he-”
Not even allowing to finish my sentence, the guard punched my chest.

What the heck? This punch is way stronger than average. I was sure I could take at least 4 hits before I would feel so much pain.
Crouching from the pain, the guard slowly took me into prison.
“Wait! He is my Slave!” a stranger called out.
The guard stopped and talked to the stranger.
“He doesn’t have a I.D Card because he is my slave.” the stranger said
I looked at the stranger, it was a woman in an iron armor. Not only that but it seems like she has some bodyguards but they looked barbaric.
“Alright then, give me your I.D card” the guard said to the stranger.
The stranger grinned although not visible enough for the guard.
Just as the woman was giving her I.D card, I looked at it from the distance, although I only got some words written.
“Illiana Fantasma” The card said
But there was more shocking things I saw.
“Class: Mage”
“Level 32”
There were other things I saw such as “Skills” and “Equipment” but due to the distance and the speed on how fast she was giving it to the guard, I barely caught any glimpse of it.
“You certainly have enough “Skills” and “Level” for you to own a slave. Alright! Let them pass!” the guard exclaimed
The woman grinned. I could tell she was plotting something.
I followed the woman and his guards to the nearest Pub and sat on an empty table.
“T-thank you for saving me.” I told the woman
She held out her hand as if she was asking something.
“Here give it to me” She said
“Huh?” I said in confusion
She slowly said it with a grin
“Y-O-U-R M-O-N-E-Y” she mischievously said
“You couldn’t have gone this far from the main border and don’t have money don’t you? Every adventurer knows this and plus you’re in the middle of the 2 countries border.”
“I don’t have any. I just suddenly came her like magic” I told her honestly
“Don’t fool me boy! After all the mess I’ve done to get you alive and in this village! If you don’t give it to me we will kill you!” she exclaimed
I stayed silent. It feels like checkmate. All moves I try will end me being killed. The only way out is to run.
“Staying silent eh? Alright beat him to death!” the woman said
As the bodyguards try to grab me, I found an opportunity to run. Since I have a small body, I quickly slipped away from the guards. I reached for the Pub’s door
“Oh no you don’t!” The woman said as well as she was chanting something
Suddenly, I felt a strong jolt of electricity.
“ArgHhH!! IT HURTSSSSSS!!!” I fell down.
Losing conscience, I feel the bodyguards pick me up.
I could make out some words she was saying…
“Leave…..alleyway…..everything”
I fainted.
