My World Traveling System: The Harbinger Of Death

-----

With the help of Miriam, Frank, Gwendolyn, and Alexander decided to walk across the beautiful streets of the Riverside City, where the largest tournaments of the Navarre Empire were held.

The streets around the building where Frank worked were beautifully paved and there were many large buildings of at least three to five floors. There was a large district where many shops were located, and to a farther area, there were even places where people sold their crops, fish, and more, named the food market.

In this place there was even the chance to buy monster materials that people acquired by hunting wild monsters in the outskirts of the city and also in the places named Labyrinths, where only the strongest Monster Pet Trainers could enter.

The colorful architecture, the fresh air near the river, and the beautiful sun stop the sky made of this entire trip a beautiful experience for Frank and his wife and child. The two also got to know Miriam better, as she was a very energetic and cute girl that guided them around and showed them the places around the city, or at least the areas near the building.

Ruby had also been brought here, as Frank had promised her to come explore but had forgotten, but now he made sure to bring her… Frank sometimes forgot too many things, and always felt quite guilty.

After inspecting the surroundings, Frank noticed a few things about the city… the first thing was the people, they were mostly humans, although he saw some people with animal traits here and there, the "beast folk" that Miriam called beast-kin as were rare in this place.

Another thing… there were monster pets everywhere! Not just simpleton humans, but monster pets had become part of the entire society, they worked in constructions by carrying heavy objects, worked inside of shops and restaurants, some even patrolled the city with guars, others helped move people around through carriages, a few others flew around delivering letters, and there were even more things here and there.

There was barely any grown adult that wasn't with his own monster pet, making Frank open his eyes wide in surprise, this society was very different than in Terra, monster tamers existed but they were very rare there, but in here, everyone could be one, making up for a very unique society.

Frank began to check the shops and everything that was being sold, there were various competitors within these areas, which were more crowded as well making it very hard for him to get clients because everyone would simply walk through here before even reaching his place.

"My shop is located in a very bad place, I can tell why I barely got clients." Sighed Frank.

"Ah… Well, sir, your shop is very big and pretty! I am sure you'll become popular eventually." Said Miriam.

"I hope so…" sighed Frank.

"Can't you relocate it?" wondered Gwendolyn.

"Relocate the whole shop?! No, that's not possible… or is it?" wondered Frank, the System quickly answered his question.<br/><script>ChapterMid();</script>

[As of now, relocation is impossible, but there might be ways to do so in the future]

"Hmm… Okay, I see…" thought Frank.

If there could be ways in the future, things might be better for his shop… but for now, he would have to endure barely having clients.

…Unless he did advertising.

But would it be worth it to advertise his shop in here? And if so, wouldn't it cost coins? Perhaps it would be something he cannot completely afford as of now. It could take way too many annoyances to do.

"Maybe you can do advertising!" said Gwendolyn.

Of course, his wife came out with the idea as well, and quickly told him that it could be the best way.

"I already considered it, but I fear the loses… I don't know if its worth it." Said Frank.

"It's definitely worth it sir! If you can advertise lower prices, people will flock your store in no time, everyone is always looking forward to save a few pennies." Said Miriam while winking cutely at Frank.

She wanted some job too, if she could be paid to just hold an advertisement sign or something, that was even better, less work and she would be paid for it!

"Hmm… I guess I will think about it- Oh, there are a lot of food stalls here…" said Frank.

Frank noticed the food stalls selling all sorts of things. Unlike in the Pokémon anime where they never showed people eating Pokémon's meat, in this world people openly hunted monsters and ate them, and most of the food in here were of such monsters.

The most thing he saw were grilled meat skewered food, there were some slices of white-colored squid monster meat covered in some sort of soy sauce-like sauce, there were also meat skewers with big meaty pieces covered in some citric sauces and aromatic herbs, and there was even ice cream made of the milk of cow-like monsters.

There were also sweets, and almost every stall had their owner with one or two monster pets helping them, one of them sold candied fruits which were produced by a beautiful plant-type monster that produced red apples which were candied right there, making the people surprised.

"Oh, there's a lot of food here…" said Frank. He already had breakfast just half an hour ago so he wasn't particularly hungry, nor Gwendolyn or Alexander.

But the delicious smell of the food, especially the meat, really awakened their appetite…

However, the one that proclaimed to be hungry wasn't none of them, not even Ruby.

GROOOARR…

Suddenly, everyone heard a loud roar, they began to look everywhere, thinking some random monster pet had gone berserk or something.

But after looking at Miriam, they were surprised the sound originated from her stomach…

The girl blushed a bit when she was notice.

"Are you hungry?" asked Frank.

"Erm… W-Well… a bit…" she said.

"A bit? Did you had breakfast?" wondered Gwendolyn.
