Adam's arm muscles tensed as he grabbed his greatsword, and when the first wolf jumped at him, Adam unsheathed his sword and performed a drawing slash. He also activated [Mighty Strike], making his blade stronger, but also faster.

The blade entered through the wolf's opened mouth, and slashed all the way through it's body, severing it in two from it's mouth to it's tail.

Blood splashed everywhere, dying the grass red, and the wolves around him took a couple steps back. Except one, who was a little bigger than the others. This wolf growled at Adam, and jumped at him. Adam sent a look at it, and guessed this was the alpha of this pack.

Turning his sword around, he faked a stab, which made the wolf stop to try to dodge the fake stab, and so it was unable to do anything when Adam made his real attack, and swiping attack that crushed the alpha's head.

This time, the wolves were too scared to do anything, and they ran with their tails between their legs. Adam didn't chase though as it would be useless. He had noticed that he didn't earn any XP when he killed those wolves.

After the wolves ran far enough, Adam sat on the ground and tried to activate his cultivation technique. It did work, but he couldn't get any stronger, he couldn't cultivate like he would on Earth. Nor could he like he would on Epoch.

Adam's Aura filled back to full in an instant, and he got back up. His destination was still the same, the city he had seen.

On the road he did meet a few more monsters, but none of them were a threat for Adam, they were only as strong as the wolves he first killed.

The nearer he was to the city though, the less monsters he saw. When it finally entered his sight once again, no other monsters were in the vicinity, which was understandable, if monsters were right outside the city then it would be worrisome.

As he approached the city, Adam saw a boy around six or seven years old standing on the wooden ramparts. When the boy saw him though, he immediately disappeared from Adam's sight, probably going deeper in the city.

And as expected, before he even reached the gates, they opened by themselves as a platoon of soldiers came out. 50 men and women, all with spears in their hands, came out and faced him.

Since he was here to seek help and find information, Adam didn't show any sign of hostility and made sure his hands were away from his sword, although if needed, he could quickly draw his sword.

When the soldiers were about ten meters from Adam, they stopped, and the leading one said "What are you doing here stranger?"

Adam harmlessly smiled and said "I got lost, and somehow ended up here. I have no idea where I am, would you be kind enough to tell me?"

The leader narrowed his eyes, before saying "Follow us in the city. Our king will decide what to do with you." Adam raised an eyebrow and asked "Do all strangers get to meet your king?"

The leader sneered "You really have no idea where you stand do you?" Adam shrugged "It's what I said."

The soldiers opened up a path for Adam, who walked past them, noticing the strange gazes he was receiving. But he said nothing and walked into the city.

The city was different from the ones he had seen in Epoch, or the ones on Earth. It was much more primitive, there was barely any metal other than the weapons of the soldiers, the roads were mud roads, and the smell in the city was terrible.

Adam felt like he was visiting a city in the middle ages, where people would throw their shit through the windows and no knew how to read.

Adam also found out that his armor was probably making him stand out as the people in the city were looking at him with the same eyes as the soldiers.

The Massacre Set looked quite good and elaborate, the marksmanship was definitely above anything Adam had seen in this city. Actually, none of the soldiers had any kind of armor, they looked more like a bunch of militiamen than a real army.

Quickly, Adam and his escort arrived in front of a larger house, with more soldiers guarding it. Behind Adam and the soldiers who accompanied him, a large crowd of civilians had gathered, all of whom were looking at him with curiosity, and strangely some kind of… hope?

Adam decided to ignore them for now as he entered the large house, which was most certainly where the king lived.

And as expected, as he entered the house he saw a crude throne made of branches and what seemed to be mud. On it sat a fat man with a golden crown on his head. Next to that man was a person dressed in a metal armor, the first Adam had seen since he arrived in this place.

A tall and skinny man standing on the fat man's, who was probably the king, left, said "King Harold welcomes you to his palace. Who are you, stranger?"

Adam knew one should normally bow in front of a king, but Adam had no respect for this 'king'. First, the strongest person in the room, the one in armor, was only about as strong as a Level 80. Secondly, even though he did not say a word, Adam could feel greed and arrogance in this king's eyes.

Still, he was the stranger here, so although he did not bow, he was still somewhat respectful as he said "I am Valiant Heart, Champion of Strith and Gaya."

The people around seemed to react to his words, and the skinny man asked "Champion? Who are Strith and Gaya? Kings from other lands?"

Apparently, they didn't know of either gods. After a moment, Adam said "You can say so I guess." Well, they each possessed a Divine Kingdom, so in a way they were kings, of their Divine Kingdoms.

The skinny man was about to say something when King Harold grunted. The skinny man stopped himself from saying anything and bended next to the king, bringing his ear next to the king���s mouth.

The king muttered something to the skinny man, which made Adam roll his eyes as he was able to hear them. The skinny man then repeated his king's words "We have use for a warrior like you. We are at war with a neighboring kingdom, and we would need the might of a Knight like you."

Adam shrugged and said "I can help you with your war, but it will depends on my payment." The skinny man narrowed his eyes and said "Your payment will depend on your strength… Here is our finest warrior, King Harold's mighty Knight, Lyndon. Fight against him, and your payment will depend on your strength."

Adam couldn't help but sigh hearing him. He didn't want to humiliate this knight, but he wanted to earn a good enough reward, who knows, maybe he will be able to take something out of here and into the real world.

The Knight, Lyndon, stepped forward, and drew out his two handed sword. Adam raised an eyebrow and asked "You want to fight in here? Aren't you afraid we will break things?"

Lyndon sneered and said his first words, which echoed his soon to be crushed arrogance "Not if our fight only lasts for a couple of moves."

Adam rolled his eyes and asked "What are the rules?" Lyndon replied "Classic rules, first blood or submission."

Adam nodded and took his sword out. Lyndon sneered and rushed at Adam, and slashed out with his sword. However, Adam was floored by what he saw. That strike was literally… garbage. There was no skill behind that sword, only strength.

Using barely a portion of his strength, Adam slashed out with his sword. The next moment, Lyndon's sword was sent flying, and Adam's sword had pierced through the armor in front of Lyndon's neck, the tip of his blade had already pierced through Lyndon's neck skin.

Adam took his blade back, and showed the tip of his sword, which had a little blood on it, and said "I win."
