MUSHOKU TENSEI: the beginning after the end

I got to the inn as quickly as I could, which cost me a lot.

Everything was too different, the houses, the shops, even some buildings.

which only helped my stress increase.

Do I really travel 63 years into the future? How is this even possible?

If this is true?...how are they? Sylphie, my son or daughter, Paul, Zenith and Roxy....I need to return home immediately

I arrived at the inn after getting lost on many streets, it was almost dusk, now the building is remodeled and its stone walls are different, i can notice.. electric lamps?!...no..... The lamp has cables but it is not electricity... could it be gas?

...

Getting those thoughts out of my mind I quickly entered the inn although now it looked more like an administrative office than an inn...

At the counter was a girl with a uniform with the Migurd symbol... as an insignia on her right shoulder and behind her a mural with the insignia of the dragon god... man, this place gives me a bad feeling....

The receptionist noticed me and gave me a professional smile.

-Welcome to the office of the Rudo mercenaries, how can I help you? - said the receptionist in a friendly tone.

-h-hello miss..this used to be an adventurers' inn, right?- I said with obvious concern in my tone of voice and face.

"Hmm?" said the receptionist who looked at me confused.

-Ah! Yes, in fact this place used to be an inn but it was bought a long time ago by the Rudo mercenary company- said the receptionist.

-i see...-I said crestfallen and confused.

"And couldn't you remember how long ago it was bought?" I said with a tone of hope.

-hmmm as I remember it was bought 46 years ago by Miss Aisha Greyrat if I remember correctly- said the receptionist while adopting a thinking pose

-I...I see...- I said completely dejected.

It's true, somehow I have traveled back in time to the future.....

I need to go back to sharia immediately...but...the receptionist mentioned Aisha right?, that girl is very intelligent...I wouldn't be surprised if she was very successful in this life...and because of the name of the company It makes me think that it was in my honor or so I think.....Would she even still be alive? And what about Norn? or Paul or Zenith...shit I have to come back as soon as possible...

"Sir? Sir?" said the receptionist, taking me out of my thoughts.

"Ah!, I'm sorry but... could you tell me what services this company offers?" I said, somewhat upset.

-Of course sir! The Rudo mercenary company offers, as its name indicates, mercenaries for various tasks such as: bodyguards, adventurers who help you carry out your jobs or as temporary employees in your business, if you have one sir, in addition "We have a monopoly on teleportation circles and we also have the sale of household appliances created by the great Rudeus Greyrat," said the receptionist with a smile.

the great Rudeus Greyrat this, the great Rudeus Greyrat that... seriously what the fuck is happening... if it is true that I traveled to the future, how come I am more popular than before? Did my family spread my name in some way? What would they do that?...

but that Nolan guy said I've been dead for 5 years...how is that even possible!!!!

shit!!, I need to go back but now!!

"Emm, miss, isn't it that teleportation circles are prohibited? How does this company have access to them?" I said, totally confused.

"Oh? Well, it's normal that not everyone knows..." the receptionist muttered to herself.

"In fact, sir, the great Rudeus Greyrat, along with Silent Seven Stars and the late Queen Ariel Anemoi Asura, broke the taboo on teleportation circles a long time ago and are now used through our company," the receptionist said as if she were talking to an ignorant

"I see....and could you tell me if there is any teleportation circle nearby and where they are going?" I said hopefully.

I know where the circle where I travel here is, but if there is a faster alternative, obviously I will take it.

"Oh, of course, we have a total of 17 teleportation circles in this branch, we are in the process of making more but the process is somewhat complicated, and as for where they are going, let me see...- said the receptionist while searching for something. notebook under her desk

After a moment the receptionist found what she was looking for.

It was a small notebook and the receptionist started looking through it.

-hmm let's see... we have 7 that are going to the demonic continent, 4 to the millis continent and 6 to the central continent sir- said the receptionist with a smile

-Towards which parts of the central continent do the circles of that continent go, miss?- I said, somewhat upset.

-hmm let's see the circles lead to:

The Republic of Shirone

the kingdom of the dragon king

Roa

Ars

Basherant

The BIiheriel Kingdom 

and towards the magical city of Sharia - said the receptionist while reading the notebook with a finger on the letters

-Towards Sharia?!- I said louder than I should.

-I-I'm sorry but what process should I take to get to Sharia?- I said apologetically.

-No-no problem, the price to pay is simply the equivalent of an Asura gold coin,- the receptionist said confused.

After paying the required amount, the receptionist gave me a card with a stamp, was it some type of purchase ticket or a pass to enter the circle?

I quickly went to the place of the teleportation circle. It turned out that it is like a normal building but blocks from the office where I was.

The building was surprisingly well guarded and when I arrived I gave the pass to one of the guards while he looked me from head to head and then let me pass. 

Inside the building was completely empty except for the teleportation circle and more guards, I didn't pay attention to them but from what I could see there were at least 20 of them and they all had the Migurd symbol on their right shoulder and on the left and on the right the symbol of the dragon god 

I quickly stood on top of the teleportation circle and with the familiar sensation of being swallowed by the earth I finally teleported.
