About the book: year / Sometimes, in order to find out how and why you ended up in another world, you need to accomplish a feat. And sometimes - just buy an elf slave with such... hmm... ears. The second option is definitely preferable, especially if you negotiate a discount. True, it may turn out that you have no great Destiny, you are just a glitch in the system. But if the criminal Guild is interested in you, then there will be no quiet life. You will have to go to the capital to steal several magical Seals from the body of a prisoner in the imperial casemates. I got a job as an executioner - get used to prison dungeons. Maybe it was better to go to minstrelsy?
