Part 1
Тhis story actually happened in a different reality (a different dimension, a parallel world); you can call it whatever you like, whatever you used to, whatever is convenient for you. Its essence will not change with that. All characters in the story exist and interact just like we exist and interact in our world. Only their names, the names of the gods, peoples and territories are not authentic; they just express the basic meaning the characters put into them.
1 Nikto is translated as ‘Nobody’
2 Orel is translated as ‘Eagle’
3 Lis is translated as ‘Fox’
4 Tolsty is translated as ‘Fat’
Chapter 1
The Encounter
"So, are you going to start talking at last?" Orel asked.
"Give me my dr… "restorer", and I"ll tell you everything!"
"Too many conditions, don"t you think?"
"Really, it"s the first time I see something like that." Tol shook his head. "He must be bonkers."
"I shit care if he"s bonkers or not," Orel yelled, "he has to answer. Because we need it. And he will talk. What"s your name, again?"
"Nikto."
"Right. We know it. Your real name?"
"I don"t know! It is real!"
Orel, Lis, Enriki and Tol exchanged glances.
"Waste of time," Tol said. "We"ll kill him but he won"t talk."
