Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

After travelling for another 6 hour, Zick could see the fort of the Gestis city appear in his view, there were carts in front of it, making a line waiting for their chance to enter.

Heading towards the fort, Zick directly passed through the carts of the merchant.

There were a lot of merchants who were dissatisfied with Zick directly heading towards the fort like this but they didn't say anything. All the merchants who survive in this environment are astute people, they wouldn't go around offending people just for this.

if by chance the person they offend not being able to control their emotion turns out to be a noble son or someone important and then he wants to take revenge by executing them, the merchant won't be able to do anything to defend themselves.

Merchants are people who don't have a fixed origin, they wander around the continent for profit. Only when there is enough profit would they think of settling in one place.

And if they want to fight against a noble they can only use the influence they have or money. There is no way the merchant waiting for their turn to enter a medium sized city like this has enough influence.

Some merchants who were smart didn't even show their dissatisfaction, they had seen Zick riding on a war horse which was enough to show that he was someone of high standings.

Reaching in front of the entrance of the fort, a soldier stopped him. The soldier's body started shivering looking at Zick. He spoke with a shaky voice.

"Pl-please s-show me..."

Before the knight could finish what he was saying, Zick tossed the Melvix family crest towards the soldier.

Catching it from both hands, the soldier's eyes widened.

"Please wait a second!"

Saying this the soldier ran within the fort hurriedly with the crest in his hand.

Zick waited patiently for the soldier to return. He didn't need to wait for long as the soldier came back even before a minute passed. There was another person standing beside the soldier, he was a middle aged man.

"I checked the crest and it is the real deal"

His way of talking was a little rough but Zick looked at the middle aged man in front of him intently, he was able to sense that the man in front of him is a middle rank mage.

"Here, sorry for the wait sir"

The soldier gave the crest back to Zick and let him pass through the fort. Pulling the reign of the horse, Zick entered the Gestis city.

This world culture was at the mediaeval level of the earth. There are some places that go beyond that level like the academic city. The alchemist tower in the second continent even surpasses some of the technology of earth.

Right at the moment, the Gestis city that Zick entered was a normal place with nothing worth mentioning about.

The street bustled with different carriages and the citizens walked in the streets with bright expressions. There were soldiers patrolling the street, there was also the sound of children laughing sometimes.

It was a very peaceful city.

Zick rode through the street with his horse, people would freeze and look at him.

'Thought as much....'

He could not suppress the black mana in his body yet, which led to common people freezing in their positions. This is the reason he is going to the three peak mountain in a roundabout way instead of taking the easy route.

By going through the capital, Zick could have been able to cut through a few days of travelling but doing that would only gather attention with the current state of his body.

It was still noon right at that moment so Zick first booked a room in an inn, after that he left the horse in the inn's stable and started walking around the city.

There were a lot of things he needed to buy. First he searched for an armoury shop. He didn't need to look for too long as there was only one armoury shop in the whole Gestis city.

Only with the permission of the lord of this city can a person open up a shop here.

The armoury shop is very important in this world, with monsters surrounding human settlements even commoners have to arm themselves.

A wooden sign with a drawing of a sword and shield above the armoury shop entrance shook with the wind.

No matter what country or what type of leader they were, they all hated armed commoners. People in power were afraid that armed commoners would point their weapon at them. That is the reason weapons are regulated very tightly.

Zick entered the armoury shop feeling many people gazes landing on him.

"Welcome!"

The store owner enthusiastically welcomed Zich. Since it was common for armoury shops to have many rough customers, store owners often acted rough, but this place seemed to have at least some sort of customer service.

''Is there an item you are looking for....?"

"This, this and this."

Ignoring the shop owner's shaking body, Zick started pointing at different leather armour that were hanging in the poles. He correctly pointed at the armour which was imbued with magic.

While the armoury shop owner put the leather armour on the table with a surprised look. Zick picked up a sword and then tried swinging it.

Swish!

He made a clean half-circle with the sword, the shop owner felt the swing was very impressive, he could clearly feel the murderous intent from Zich's sword, His eyes went to Zick's body.

'....he's still a kid...what has he been doing till now?'

Zick looked at the short sword in his hand.

'The balance is alright, it is good enough for now'

Zick found the sword satisfactory enough, with his body stature he could only wield a short sword for now, using a long sword would only get in his way. Picking up the swords he liked, he brought it along with the armour.

After buying basic weaponry, Zich began to prepare for other things he needed on his journey. He packed items such as blankets, flint for outdoor camping, and foods like jerky. He even brought some high grade potions.

After everything was over Zick headed back to the inn. After eating his dinner, he went to his room and started sleeping. He planned on leaving early in the morning the moment he woke up.

He had brought all the things he needed, even a map and a compass to navigate. With it he wouldn't need to go through the normal route anymore, instead he could directly go through deep within the forest saving some of his time.
