Master Of None

Fleur was poking Walking in the cheek and trying to get his full attention. She had no idea why he had been so distracted the entire walk to the Genesis building. Walker on the other hand had been in a daze. He was trying to rationalize every thought he had when the high priest had left him with such words. But he couldn’t come to accept such a thing. He was still too young. There was so much more to do in life. He had so much to still explore, Entire cities he had never been to. How could he consider settling down in that way? 

Part of Walker believed the high priest had been messing with him just because it was fun for him to do so. Then the other part of Walker believed it was a dead serious admittance of how the high priest felt. Either way, Walker was stuck in his own head until he pushed the door open and revealed the busy Genesis building. 

Many of the merchants had sent in their representatives or come as the head of their organizations. They had to buy the sops they wanted from Genesis city so that they could work there. The only problem was that the staff seemed a little overwhelmed. 

Advisors from every kingdom with representatives had turned the Genesis building in to a fully functional hub for Genesis to remain functioning. Whether it was guard reports, trade, or breakage of the laws, it was all funneled through here. There were also those that represented private groups like auction houses, crafters, and even a few high elves looking to buy potion shops. But what was really taking Walker’s attention were the people trying to complain about not being able to buy such shops. 

”How can you not allow me to buy a shop? I have potions and I want to sell them! Everyone needs them! Why would a new city that needs people like me, stop me from expanding your economy!?” The elf that was yelling seemed to be growing more and more red faced. This didn’t help the line of others either, they got riled up along with him. 

”Fleur, cover your ears. I really don’t want to see this place like this. It should be a place people can talk openly and freely. Not yelling and chaos.” Walker took a deep breath in. Fleur just watched knowing full well that a loud noise wouldn’t affect her in the least. The loud roar that escaped Walker’s mouth was just enough to silence everyone and temporarily stun them. He knew that this was a little overboard but it had to be a precedent he set now. If he did not, then every person from any kingdom could walk in and start yelling demands constantly. Leading to people not wanting to work in the Genesis building a crumbling city capital. 

”Listen and listen hard. There is no yelling or demanding in this building. You are here to start a future. If you insult the people that work hard to assist you then you do not deserve that assistance. The alchemy guild regulates every potion and seller of positions. You can wait until they open this week to speak with them. Crafters can speak with the crafters guild to gain rentable shop permits from them. Both regulate their specific items to keep cursed items and poisoned potions out of the flow. If anyone else has questions speak properly with the representatives here. If you can not do so I will introduce you to the legal system in place. The courts will judge you on your actions and disturbances.” 

After the clear speech, many people stood with pale faces. Walker was smaller than most people because of his age. Yet, there was a strength that radiated off of him scaring everyone. They knew he was serious and would do his best to enforce these rules. Not only this, but they had heard of the things he had done. No one would come to Genesis without knowing of the Omnipotent party of heroes. 

”Sir hero, thank you for calming down the hall. We have had a very high number of applicants for properties and many react improperly. The guards are overwhelmed as well.” The man that ran up was one of the managers at the customer desks set up on the main floor of the Genesis building. 

”It’s fine, I don’t want you all to get worked to death. You all work very hard to build this city just as anyone else should. I think we should post more notices outside the city of the laws within. Please ask the younger guards in training to do so. It’s a good way for them to get acquainted with the laws and also to understand the area around the city better.” Walker watched the man rush off. There was a smile on his face since a lot of stress from the yelling had been washed away. The slight ringing in his ears didn’t even bother him anymore. 

The murmur of voices picked up slowly as people organized themselves in to lines. Some left to seek out the guilds after Walker’s short speech. Those were the wise ones since they had realized that they wouldn’t be able to snag a rental contract immediately. They would need to go through the screening processes made by the guilds to ensure they were preparing and selling quality potions and items. 

Walker patiently stood in line and waited. The process moved much faster than it had before now that people were not yelling. Many of them tried to allow Walker to skip the line but he wanted to make a point. He was the same as everyone else. He would need to wait as well. When he finally made it to the front he asked the attendant to ask the representatives present to meet in the large meeting room for a report.
