"Urghk- My head hurts."

Waking up after a long sleep, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling, with my head hurt.

'Ah, right…. I was with Jane last night.'

Remembering the fierce battle we had at this bed, a smile bloomed on my face.

"Smell of the battle is still there too."

Sniffing around, I saw the faint traces of our battle still there.

Turning my head to the side, I looked at the sleeping receptionist…

Red marks all over her body, some bite marks, some of them hickeys…

With a slight droll on her face, she was sleeping soundly, not showing any signs of waking up….

"It was a fun night…."

Standing up from the bed, I first grabbed my pants and underwear, wearing them. Then going to the room, we got drunk. I grabbed my shirt and then left the house, closing the door.

<Hidden Quest, [Playboy], completed.>

<New trait, [Casanova] added to trait section.>

***

After reaching my room, I grabbed my belongings.

Leaving my room, I started walking towards the central city hall.

Since I will be using a teleportation gate, I was going there.

A building with good architecture, showing it was one of the best ones in this city.

Since it was noon, a lot of people were around.

Some of them were entering, and some of them were leaving.

Entering there, after passing the guards, I reached for the receptionist's desk.

"Hello, sir. How can I help you?"

"I am here to use the teleportation gate."

"Where is your destination, sir?"

"Capital."

"Understood. That will be 750k, Aeria."

'Just as the same in the game.'

Thinking that, I grabbed my card.

"Here."

Showing the receptionist my card, I started waiting.

"Here, the transaction is completed. Please wait in front of the third gate."

Saying that, he passed me my card.

After that, it was a pretty familiar experience of my insides being turned up.

***

The reason why I went to the capital is that my final destination is another country.

Since teleporting from one country to another needs its own restrictions, generally, only the capital of the countries would be linked.

Therefore, I needed to move to this country's own capital as well.

However, I won't be wasting time staying in the capital since I will immediately transport.

Now, before doing that, let me talk about this world's county setting.

Firstly, we have the home country of Callius, Emma, Arthur, Alicia, and the first part of the game.

----Wraslugia Kingdom----

This place is the starting point of the game, where Arthur was born.

It has four duke houses.

-  Nightlance Household (Arthur)

-  Augustride Household (Emma)

-  Leafsnow Household (Celia)

-  Montalet Household (Alicia)

Each house has its own strengths.

For instance, Nightlance Household is famous for its High-metal affinity, Augustride Household is famous for its lightning element, Leafsnow for ice, and Montalet for light.

Aside from that, this kingdom is ruled by the 'King Karl Valiana,' brother of Adelyn.

Its capital is called Polphis City, and this country is on the western side of the world.

And this kingdom is the fourth strongest kingdom in the game.

------Reagan Empire------

This place is the place where the academy arc takes place.

Reagan Empire is the strongest force in the continent, having nine duke houses under its command.

Fifty years ago, with the sudden decision to attack the countries nearing its borders and overwhelmingly defeat them, it got the title of the world's strongest country.

It occupies the biggest land in the world and governs them effectively.

This country is ruled by the Andrew Royal Family, and its current ruler is Emperor Alexander Andrews.

It is in the center of the world and, most importantly, houses the world's best academy ARK in its capital, Aurora City.

----------Holyland of Celestia--------

This place is where the lands were ruled by the theocracy.

Being ruled by the Celestia Church, it has strict rules and strict education in its borders.

With its religious laws, this country is best for those retrogressive and oppressive hypocrites.

Doesn't have the general ranking system of houses but is divided by the church ranks.

Ruled by Pope Telesphorus and in the southeast of the world.

It is the second strongest force in the continent, with its unique type of soldiers, Church Paladins.

With their high quality and strict education, Church Paladins are the strongest group in the world; however, being limited in numbers, that is not enough to beat the Reagan Empire.

It is capital is Celestia City, and it is in the South-East of the continent.

-----------Mirkwood Kingdom-----------

The country that is ruled by elves.

Houses the classical World Tree.

Being fond of nature, elves gain their blessings from a different goddess than any others.

The Goddess of Nature, Ophelia, was the goddess they were worshipping.

This country is in the south of the world, and it is ruled by the Glyndon Royal Family.

Its current ruler is Arwen Glyndon.

The capital is Lothlorien City.

This country houses six duke houses; however, their governing style is a little different than human kingdoms.

----------Devil's Playground------------

This is the place where there are no rules.

Lawless zone of the world, where even the Reagan Empire would hesitate to enter, being on the northeast side of the world.

-----------Country of Arctica--------

This is a place ruled by the northern barbarians, or in other words, a place where orcs live.

In the beginning, it was ruled by the Tribal System, where everything was without order, but later with Queen Avarosa's leadership, everyone was gathered under one rule.

Its capital is called Niflheim, and this country is on the northwest side of the world.

Now, it is ruled by the young successor of Queen Avarosa, 'Ruthless Ruler Aegis Rivendell.'

------------Fortress of Iron Mountains-------

The place where dwarven people live.

It is said that the forge of the blacksmith god resides in this place, in the heart of mountains.

Dwarves are known for their unique skills in blacksmithing as well as their development in technology.

Ruled by the Dwarven Council, and it is on the north side of the continent.

It doesn't have any type of dukedom or other houses but is ruled by the modern governing ranks instead.

-------------Country of Amazonia----------

The place where women are in the positions of the ruling.

The woman in this place is known to be proud, and generally, they are the ones who have the 'masculine' traits on Earth.

They are mostly fighting maniacs, and they like outstanding men with good success.

It is ruled by the Mad Queen Thyra Xenos and is in the southwest of the continent.

Its capital is called Themyscira.

------------Western Demi-human Union--------

This place is a country ruled by a federal system containing different races in each state.

There are twelve different small countries forming an alliance.

Its capital is called Olympus, and this country is ruled by a council whose head is chosen every five years.

It is on the western side of the continent.

Every state has its own rules, and this alliance is formed because of the discrimination shown by humans and elves.

***

This is basically how the world of Aeria is configured.

Every place has its own race, its own rule, and its own people.

The game starts in the Wraslugia Kingdom in the first arc.

Then it moves to the academy arc, where all of the talented people around the world gather in the world's strongest country, the Reagan Kingdom.

However, each place has its own atmosphere, and they are accessible in the game as well.

And the place I am heading now is the place where the world's best blacksmiths gather around.

The Fortress of Iron Mountains.

Since it is on the mountain ranges, traveling to that place is a lot harder than normal on foot.

That is the reason why I wanted to use the teleportation gate.

With those thoughts, I exited from the teleportation gate, reaching the capital of the Reagan Empire.

'It is still uncomfortable.'

"Barffff-"

"Burghkk-"

I saw a bunch of people puking the contents in their stomachs. In the first place, no matter what, there will be those rich people who have yet to enter any dungeon. I will encounter them in the academy too.

"Welcome to the Capital, sir. Please follow the line."

Saying that the clerk waiting showed me the way.

Exiting the door, the scene welcomed me like an airport station on Earth.

'So, this is the capital's transporting station.'

There were rooms all around. Guards were waiting there watching the gates and others, signs showing which gate was heading where people were running around to catch their time…

It was a familiar sight.

'I wonder how it will look in Aurora City."

Thinking that, I reached the same receptionist's desk.

After waiting in line for a while, I reached the desk.

Buying a ticket to travel to the Fortress of Iron mountains while spending almost all my money, I stepped into the transportation gate.

And the moment I finished this, the scene that welcomed me was a lot different from where I entered.
