Salute to MC. This should be the way when police are corrupt or literally dumbasses. Fighting them shows you have a bigger dick than they who compensate their smol dicks with a small weapon.
I still like this, but come on. Guy goes into every place that seems nice then everything goes wrong and he has to kill a bunch of people. The time he gets just keeps decreasing; now it's at 10 minutes. Surely the story will actually go somewhere?

It's an interesting question. Humans form social bonds and moral codes within their own communities, but those moral codes wouldn't apply to outsiders. Anthropologists who study pre-agricultural bands of hunter-gatherers note that when a member of the tribe tries to steal or rape too much within the tribe, they usually end up murdered. But the tribe is very willing to murder/steal/rape a neighboring tribe. The mechanic of "In-group vs. out-group" is common throughout the world. The new guy in town is a mark because they're outnumbered. Similarly the community will elect strongmen to protect their group from outsiders.
It explains why the town would be ok with a fratricidal monster as the head-fisherman and willing to murder and rob a traveller.
a random guy with no weapons whatsoever but still has a dragon, and a lot of cash with him rolls along, you would think that they'd know better to be suspicious of Mc being so well off but unfortunately in medieval times, inbreeding was not as rare✊😔🥀
