Zeus sighed as he read his stats from what he heard from other players shouting and complaining their Charisma or CHA was greatly reduced at around 8.5, 'Why do I have such high CHA then?'

His musing was cut short when he heard a loud scream as he turned he saw a woman with her eyes closed screaming at the top of her voice while shouting 'pervert, thief and what not', while wildly swinging her bag which hit the poor person as he was thrown away as he landed a few feet away and a couple of people in a dark blue uniform arrived hurriedly while try to calm the lady while giving the down person a couple of kicks, soon the word 'DEAD' floated above him and he shattered like glass leaving behind a dagger, a few coins and a health potion.

Seeing the loot a few more players tried to gather them but was at a receiving end of boots and batons, a few more uniformed people arrived as the rest of the player ran away.

Another uniformed person arrived who had much more decorations on his uniform as he spoke out in a commanding tone, "What is going on here? Who is trying to riot in the city under my protection?"

A uniformed man ran towards him as he spoke, "Lieutenant, a few vagrants tried to disturb the city peace but we dealt with them, but it seemed like they were prophesized fabled bravemen but they were so lawless and even tried to harass the poor woman that we were forced to intervene not only that he was so weak that they could not take proper hit."

Hearing the Lieutenant's face contorted in disgust as he spoke, "tch, and here many people were so eager for their arrival, bravemen should have an aura of a noble yet they are so disgusting on top of that they are vagrants!! Do not tell me they are imposters trying to con."


As they were speaking Zeus covertly activated his only skill, "Observe."

Zeus sighed at that, 'It seems my skill level is too low oh well I will have to approach and see if I can ask for help.'

"Excuse me brave gentleman may I ask for your help.", a young voice interrupted them the man turned around before frowning as he spoke in a stern tone, "What do you want vagrant make it quick, I am busy."

"Greetings powerful just and helpful peacekeepers, I am unfortunately in need of immediate help as such I so audaciously and brazenly intrude upon you and disturb your time."

The Lieutenant: "It seems one of the vagrant has good manners, speak what do you want boy.", his tone was more softer than before but still had an edge in it.

Zeus spoke putting up a sorrowful face, "Kind Sir I am one of the bravemen, I had awoken a few minutes ago and it seems I have lost most of my strength and even my weapons and clothing was destroyed reducing me to this pitiful state."

The Lieutenant was stunned on hearing that as such he asked, "Is it same for others as well?"

Zeus nodded somberly as he spoke, "I believe so, the journey to here is perilous for us and I fear many even failed to make it."

The lieutenant nodded in deep thought as he spoke, "I see but can I see your wrist young man."

Zeus simply showed his wrist as the Lieutenant exclaimed in disbelief as he spoke, "The prophecy is true, you are one of those bravemen who would finally save our world."

One of the men who had previously beaten the poor player to death spoke in a panicked tone, "But this is ridiculous if it is true then why did that person harass the poor lady, I know her she I known as the kindest person around this parts."

Zeus gave a kind smile as he spoke in a saintly manner, "My good man, you must have met many people in your life can you put your hand over your heart and say with confidence that all the people you have met are good people, can you say they are honest, can you say they will never commit any crime. Let me answer for you my brave sir, no you cannot because if it were true then people like you did not have the need to sacrifice your joy, happiness, pleasure, peace, sleep and risk your life day after day night after night through the heat, through t cold so that others may rest in peace, so that others can sleep in night trusting themselves in the hand of such brave selfless people.", as he spoke his soft voice rose many levels at the end, he took a deep breath as he began speaking mournfully, "Alas we are also plagued by flawed accursed beings who disrupt peace and tranquility, as such my brave friend I believe you did the right thing by stepping bravely and protecting the weak from the unjust and fraud being."

Every uniformed person was pumped up by what they heard, people always complain about this and that but no one appreciated them and their work they always try to find flaw in them and blame them yet they do not understand their sacrifice their selflessness.

Meanwhile Zeus gave a pat on the back, he delivered a wonderful speech having an influential politician as your Grandfather helps a lot, but he also winced thinking what about the poor players and mentally apologized to them for referring them as such.

Lieutenant: "What is your name Young man?"

Zeus: "It is Zeus, Sir."

Lieutenant spoke with a smile, "Zeus what is it that is causing problem for you speak freely and we will help you."

Zeus: "Thank you sir your kind words, I just wish to know how can I change my vagrant status."

The lieutenant nodded as he spoke, "Ah about that, it is simple you have to advance your status to that of 'Serf' at the City Office. Jon, take him to the city office.", he commanded one of the uniformed person who had arrived first to rescue of the 'frightened' and 'kind' lady and vanquished the 'evil' player who was already prone on the floor from the 'kind' lady's love taps.

Zeus bowed as he spoke, "Thank you Sir, thank you for your kind gesture."

Lieutenant: "No need to say thanks as you said before it is our duty to help others also here take this, this are more useful in the hands of someone like you.", he gave all the loots that had dropped from the dead people.

Zeus gave an extremely grateful smile as he spoke, "Thank thank you so much kind sir, if more people like you all exist in this world than it would have become a much better place already."

With that he left with Jon towards the City Hall, with a few people who had stayed behind stalking them from a distance.

As he went towards the City Hall, he quickly checked a few of the notifications that were chiming during the entire event.

Zeus closed the skill menu as he turned towards his escort a he questioned him on a few general knowledge related queries.

'hmmm I see so the money system is divided into the following manner,

100 Tin coin = 1Copper coin

50 Copper coin = 1 Bronze coin

50 Bronze coin = 1 Silver coin

10 Silver coin = 1 Gold coin

5 Gold coin = 5 Platinum coin

As such currently I have 6 Bronze, 25 Copper and 600 Tin coins, moreover I got a couple of common tier daggers, 4 loaves of coarse bread, and a couple of bottles of health potion and a bottle of mana potion.'

As he reached City Hall Zeus was escorted by a smiling Jon to the Social Hierarchy and Commoner's Inheritance office as he spoke to the receptionist, "Excuse me Miss, this fine lad here wants to register as 'Serf'"

The woman than handed a form to Zeus as she spoke crisply, "1 Bronze per person to become a serf, fill this form first."

Zeus took the form and was greeted by a gibberish words as he spoke, "Brother Jon it seems that I cannot read or write in your language."

Jon spoke with alarm, "What? Here let me help you."

He quickly penned down his details on a paper before handing it to the lady who then ordered Zeus to put his hand on a globe which glowed white as the lady let out a sigh as she took the bronze coin from Zeus as she spoke in a monotone, "Congratulations, you are now a serf, get lost from here go and learn to read and write you illiterate dunce."

Jon felt offended at that but Zeus stopped him from making a scene as he spoke, "Let it be brother, there is no need to get angry. But on that matter of illiteracy where do I learn to read and write."

Jon: "Well there is public school but you are too old and it is kind of slow so I might suggest visiting a public library, since you are a serf now you many gain a membership for 1 bronze coin, oh also remember to get a map before you leave I will mark a few places since you are new here so that you do not wander and get yourself in trouble."

A few minutes later Zeus and spending of 10 copper coins he was proud owner of a common tier city map which was then crudely marked by Jon.
