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.
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.
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.
