Gabro entered the city with just one thought on his mind, 'finding a place to rest'. He is feeling very tired, not because he came here on foot but because of the transformation just a few hours ago.
He entered a street in search of an inn or tavern, or even if he could rent or buy a house straight up that would be great. After a few steps he found himself in front of Gengi inn which had a three leaf clover on it's sign board.
He entered the inn and went straight to the reception center and found an old man with white hair writing something into a book on the table.
"Sir, I need a room", he went straight to the point as he felt his body becoming weaker per each second.
"five copper coins for a night in a single room with just a bed, ten copper coins for a night with bed and bathroom...", the old did not finish his words as he heard a
Bang..
The old man was forced by the sound to raised his head to look at the young boy before him and the copper coins on his desk. He picked the copper coins which he counted 50. He raised his head to speak but Gabro beat him to it
"I will be here for five days, can you show me the way to my room now", Gabro said as he forced a smile.
"Sir here is the key to your room, it's on the second floor room 42, have a nice stay", the old man said with respect as he handed the key to him with both hands and a bow. This change of attitude surprised Gabro but he did not have time to think of this right now, so he took the key and went straight to his room.
He locked the door behind him and slept on the bed which he immediately lost his consciousness.

glouh...
glouh...
He woke up with a very sharp pain in his abdomen. He was super hungry and it felt like he could eat a whole bear. He stood up and went straight to the bathroom for a wash because he could not stand his own smell.
Immediately he walked out of the bathroom he heard a knock on his door. He was thinking if someone may have lost his way as he walked up to the door and opened it.
It was a young beautiful lady holding something neatly covered with a brown cloth. 'Do they serve meals here, great perfect timing', a bright smile formed on his face as he asked, "What can I do for you miss".
"My dad, the old man you talked to yesterday asked me to bring you this and tell you that, you will be getting breakfast every morning since you are a guest", the lady said a little sarcastically, showing her disapproval of been here.
"Thank you, Miss?", Gabro said as he signal her to come inside. He still had the towel around his waist.
"Miss Jade, please you can call me Jade", Jade said and entered the room and placed the food a small table at the corner of the room. She turned to leave but was stopped by Gabro's voice.
"Please I need a favor, I know I don't deserve to ask for one right now but I really need some clothes", he said as he pointed to his ruined clothes with a pleading look.
"I guess you will be needing a footwear as well", Gabro nodded to this, "just give me 10 copper coins and I will get you a few ordinary from the market".
"Thanks, but I don't want it too cheap nor too expensive", Gabro said as he handed a few copper coins to her. She looked at the coins and him a few times which made Gabro worry what he would say if she asked where he got the coins since he was not having any ring on his hand.
To his surprise, she did not ask about how the coins appeared but said, "it's to much". Gabro inwardly sighed and said, "how many middle class clothes will I get with this much".
Jade was stunned but replied, "about 20 or so outfits and 5 foot wears". He nodded and said, "just five outfits will do and 2 foot wears, and please get me an ordinary ring as well".
"Okay I will be back soon", she said before rushing out of the room. Gabro sat down to eat his breakfast even though it was already afternoon since he overslept last night.
...
After an hour or two there was a knock on his door and it was pushed open the next second without waiting for his reply. It was no other than Jade.
He walked up to her and thanked her for helping him out and told her to keep the change but she insisted it was part of her job and place the things on the bed with the change of 15 copper coins.
He gave her 80 copper coins and she returns with 15 copper coins, 5 good looking robes, 2 foot wears and a rusty ring with attribute. 'Are things always this cheap in this world', that's all he could say to himself in disbelief.
