Welcome to the new world!

The next thing I know I was in the middle of a street amongst the creatures that I couldn't even have imagined that would exist. Girls with cat-like features and demi-humans (lizard-humans etc.) and many more types of people!Instead of being shocked by their appearances I was so excited that I couldn't even contain my laughter.The other peculiar thing about this world was that it had magic! People were using various kinds of magic like fire magic, water magic and more. This made me even more amazed.I thought to myself that this is the world I have been searching for my whole life. But wait, I think some of my memory is hazy. The last thing I remember is that something very fast was approaching towards me and now I am here among these unknown creatures.I am Rio Honda, a 19-year old boy who was studying in a college like everybody else of his age until now.My monotonous life was suddenly changed into an amazing one and I don't even know how this happened!Is this a dream?Well whatever. Since I am here I will enjoy this world to the fullest. First I need to search for the basic things one must have in order to survive - food, money and a place to live.As I was searching my tracksuit pockets, I found a bunch of shiny blue crystals there. I don't even have the slightest clue how they got here. Just then, a cat-girl dressed in a pink shirt and a jeans was attacked by a strange dog-like creature. Without a second thought, I jumped in to save her and I don't know why but as soon as the dog-like creature saw me, it disappeared into the other direction.I approached the cat-girl and asked her if she was safe. On a closer look, I noticed that she was absolutely gorgeous! She told me that her name was Alice and thanked me and I said that I had done nothing much.I told her that my name is Rio and I am looking for a place to live. Hearing this, she told me that an inn named "Black Wizards" was just at the corner of the road and that she was the granddaughter of the innkeeper and was out for buying groceries. I helped her carry her shopping bags and we both entered the inn.When we entered the place, I showed a crystal to the innkeeper, who was an old woman with cat ears just like Alice, she said that I could live for three days here with only 5 crystals. But as Alice told her how I saved her from the "chimera", she thanked me for saving her granddaughter and gave me the room for 3 crystals only.After resting for some time in my room, when I went downstairs, I met Alice and she asked me if I was new to the place and I replied affirmatively. She then offered to show me around the place and I gladly took her up on her offer.She told me that this was a city named Claudia in the kingdom of Magiclus. When I asked her about the huge statue in the middle of the city, she was surprised and asked me if I didn't even know about Sir Claud, the hero of the kingdom after whom the city was named as this was his birthplace. She then asked me where was I from? I answered with some hesitation that I came from the East. She asked me if I was from the kingdom of Alkia and I told her that I am indeed from the kingdom of Alkia and have come to become a magician in Magiclus.Then she told me about Sir Claud, how he travelled to other countries and united the whole war-waged world with his enormous magic and his awesome intellect. After this we went to the market. There I bought some clothes for myself and gave her a necklace made of pearls as a present. It was like a date between me and Alice. We then spent the whole day together and I gathered lots of information about this world from her. We promised to meet the next day too and I asked her to teach me about magic. As soon as we arrived at the inn I went into my room to sleep.
