Chapter 17: New Room and A clue.
\'Holy shi*, what did I get myself into? Is she really a human and not a devil in a human\'s skin?\'
Felix really regretted it, thinking about whether it was the right decision to have joined the guild. There was no way a receptionist would act like that.
\'Was she just trying to scare me? Or did she get to know that I was pretending to be cute? No way she\'ll eat me now, right?\'
He took nervous steps following her as they arrived at the second floor. Elsa ignored his fearful expression as she turned to him and stated.
"On the first floor, there was the hall with lounge and reception with some storage rooms in the corner. The second floor is the living quarters with the dining hall. The third floor is for official members only and off-limits for unofficial members, if you\'re seen there you\'ll have to face punishment."
She gave him a serious face as she continued.
"Moving up, every floor is unavailable for you. So, there\'s no need for any unnecessary details of them."
"Come here, I\'ll take you to your room. You can have food at the dining hall after this."
That being said, she walked deeper into the second floor and took a left turn, entering a wide corridor with many doors on the sides. After walking for a few seconds they stopped in front of a door with the number \'132\'.
"Here, this is the key to your room. Don\'t lose it or you\'ll have to pay a fine for that. You don\'t seem to have any other clothes so I\'ll inform a worker to bring you some."
Elsa took a key out of nowhere a gave it to Felix who looked at his cloth that was just a rag and couldn\'t help but thank her.
"Thank you, Miss Elsa."
She shook her head as she replied.
"Don\'t worry, we\'ll cut the reward of your first mission in exchange for this. Also, the dining hall has breakfast, lunch, and dinner free for everyone. You\'ll have to pay for anything extra you\'d like to eat."
He widened his eyes at the treatment he was getting.
\'Really? Not even free clothes? Whatever, atleast they give food.\'
"Well then, my job here is done. Enjoy your stay, Felix."
She smiled sweetly as she went back to her work, swaying her hips as she hopped a little and left Felix alone in the corridor.
\'This woman... I can\'t seem to understand her. Was she acting earlier or is that how she usually is.\'
Felix shook his head as it was not that important. He would know everything as time went by. He inserted and turned the key in the keyhole and opened the door to his new room \'132\'.
Entering inside, he carefully locked the door and gazed around the room. There was a small single bed at the left corner along with a window above the bed having brown curtains.
On the right side, there was a desk along with a closet. There was a door on the right wall leading to a washroom with a bathtub.
"Hmm, it\'s not bad. A lot better actually than what I expected."
*Knock* *Knock*
"Room Service."
A robotic voice sounded outside the door. Felix turned the key and opened the door, as a man wearing a white and black uniform gave him a packet and went back.
Not wasting any time, he quickly locked the door and removed the rag he was wearing. Opening the door of the washroom, he turned on the hot water and lay down inside the tub.
"Sigh...this is what I call life."
Relaxing in the hot water, he washed his body and hair even though he still had many wounds on his naked body. Looking down at his lower waist, he grinned at the length of his little brother.
"Woah, it has nice potential there.", he touched his tower as he felt it was bigger than the one in his previous life. Not wanting to awake the dragon he pulled back his hands and just stared at it.
\'Just looking at it makes me have no regrets about being reincarnated in this body.\'
After five minutes of bath, he came outside and wore his new clothes. It consisted of a brown shirt and dark blue pants with a black belt. Just something simple but still better than a rag. There were two other sets in the packet which he kept in the closet.
"Let\'s go the dining hall, or else I\'ll pass out anytime now."
Felix did not have a watch so he couldn\'t tell time but his hunger made him just move to where food would be.
Coming out of the room, he locked the door and started walking toward the dining hall. Instead of taking a right which led to the stairs, he went ahead crossing many rooms and stood in front of a double door that had \'dining hall\' written on it.
He pushed the doors open and peered at the dining hall. There were tables and chairs on the left side with some people having dinner there. On the right side, there was a buffet where you could take anything you wanted to eat.
Felix quickly entered, took a plate and started filling it with many things. After making sure he had taken a piece of every food, that he didn\'t even know the name of, he walked toward an empty table and sat there.
"Gulp, time to dig in."
Nothing could stop him from gobbling up the food as he started eating in a crazy manner.
Some people looked at him in amusement at how he was acting but he didn\'t mind them as his only thoughts were to eat as much as he could to improve the state of his body.
After finishing everything on the table, he gave a burp and drank a glass of fresh juice.
"Haa that felt good. Nothing beats a plate full of food."
Sighing in contentment, Felix went out of the dining hall picking his teeths, and entered back in his room.
Making sure that he locked the door, he lay on the bed as he called out to the system.
"System, show me my status."

"Starting tomorrow, I\'ll have to do missions and get to know more about this world. Also, I have to make some money for staying here and pay for my expenses"
\'Hmm...wait did I not have that guy\'s wallet with me?\'
Recalling the wallet of the huge guy, he suddenly got up and looked at the rag in the corner. He put the knife on the desk and took out the wallet from his rag.
\'There\'s nothing here except some papers and waste. That poor bastard had nothing on him. Sigh.\'
Throwing the wallet into a corner, he walked back to the bed when suddenly an idea hit him.
\'It\'s worth a try.\'
Going back and bending down to take the wallet, he held it in his hand and sat back on the bed. He took a deep breath and stared at the wallet before whispering.
"Flashback."
