小龙女 左剑清

After gaining human form, Ren wanders around the forest. He was in great shock that all of his skills disappeared.

But taking the bitter truth, he explored the forest, and his journey continued for a whole month.

He didn't acquire that much from this journey, but when he ate something, he get their description.

He learned two skills, but they merged and formed.

[Stealth: Combination of Hidden Aura and Sneak. Allows your aura and presence to die. Make you look invisible, and no one will be able to find your power. The monster scent and monster aura will also be covered. (Some Powerful People could look through you.)]

It was an active skill. He could activate it when he feels someone is watching him.

After that, he continued his journey until he found a huge wall.

Big walls covered the entrance and two guards guarded the entrance.

He walked at them and waved at them.

"Hello"

The guard stared at Ren with narrow eyes.

"Yes."

"Can I go inside?"

"You can, but we need to see if you have a permit or not."

"...Permit?"

"The card, you need that card if you want to pass inside. If you don't have one..." The guard walked closer to Ren. "You could pay 1 gold coin to enter inside."

Ren understood their intention and whispered back.

"Thank you." With a bright smile, he handed over the coin sneakily.

His face was beautiful and his body was slim.

One would surely jest he is a girl.

His smile charmed the guards as they stare at his back. "What a beautiful girl."

"Yeah, right."

They both coughed and ignored her.

********

House built of stones, roads paved with stones, a big fountain in the center, and a grassy park. The city was bustling with people.

The big house was 2 to 3 stories tall.

The market was filled with people.

People outside the stores called out to the customer.

The children played on the road.

The city was peaceful.

Ren's gaze passed by them as he smiled while walking.

It had been quite a long since he had seen this crowd. A warm breeze passed by his face and the sweet fragrance of food drifted to his nose.

!!

His eyes gleamed. He followed the scent and arrived near a building.

"House Inn?"

He read the words and tilted his head.

"So, it's an inn. I should book a room. I don't know how much will I be here?"

He entered the inn and the smell of food wafted on his nose. Laughing of people rang, he saw many muscular men with swords on their backs chatting with each and laughing.

Tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and a huge desk was near the door. A middle-aged man stood behind the desk while watching his customer.

When he saw Ren, he greeted him.

"Welcome traveler. Are you new to this city, missy?"

"Yes."

"Oh, what would like to do? Book a room, or eat here?"

"I want to book a room and also eat."

The middle-aged smiled. "Then we have a special offer. Premium Room, you can pay 10 silver coins to book a room for 1 night and also get to eat dinner and breakfast here. Since you are in the afternoon, you can get lunch too."

Ren nodded.

'Business tricks, huh.' The trick was tempting, but he didn't know the value of money. From his talk, the gold coin must be valuable since there is a silver coin too.

Since there is a silver coin, there should bronze coin too.

"How many days can I stay here with this coin?"

Ren put a gold coin on the table.

The middle-aged man raised his brow. "You can stay 10 nights." Hearing that, Ren calculated the value of the gold coin.

'100 silver coin is 1 gold coin...'

He nodded with satisfaction.

The inn-keeper told him to book a table and ask what he wants to eat. Since there was no menu here, he decided to ask the waiter.

A cute young girl walked to his table with a smile on her face.

"What would like to have...hmm, miss?"

'Miss huh' He had seen his face in the pond water and was also charmed by the beautiful face. He coughed.

"What would you recommend?"

"Hmm, chicken soup. It is quite delicious." She put her hand on her lips and said.

"Ok. Give me that."

"Ok!"

She smiled brightly and dashed behind the counter. After a second, a bowl was put on his table.

"Enjoy your treat."

She said politely and leave the area.

Ren drank the soup. His eyes gleamed.

"It's delicious."

After the meal, he took the key from the inn-keeper and walked to his room. After entering, he fell on the bed.

His looks looked female, but not a single of his behavior was feminine.

And he noticed that he could change his body structure.

He could become full female, or full male, or remain genderless.

For now, he is genderless.

"What should I do for now? Hmm, I should see if there is any adventure guild or something like that here."

He mumbled and fell asleep.

He hadn't gone to his slime figure.

He nodded off and woke up at night when the cute girl came to call him.

"Miss, dinner is ready."

"Oh ok, let's go."

Ren walked with her.

"What's your name?" Ren asked.

"I am Ria."

"Oh, what a sweet name you have." He smiled. "How old are you?"

"Hmm, I am 10 years old."

"Oh, you are such a hard worker." He patted her head.

"Hehe..."

She smiled innocently.

​ As they walked down, they heard a commotion.

"How dare you hit me?!"

Two burly men were at each other throats. They punched each other and fought desperately. A mess was created in the dining room.

"What the hell!"

Ren frowned and sighed when he looked at the behavior of the men.

But then the middle-aged man moved.

And...
