In addition they are rich and powerful.

----------------------------------------

Today is a new day. A young looking guy in the twenties is registering his account in a busy and noisy building where it is crowded with all kind of people. There are young and old, combatant and magic users, good and bad, rich and poor and various other kind of people. This is the {Adventurer Guild} of the Jurusaley City which is the frontier of Pheonix Empire. The youth is very excited as it is his new experience.

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

“Here you go, Mr Adam. The procedure is done, 10 silver please” a girl called out to Adam which is watching the crowd of people.

“Er...sorry miss Leina. I forgot to tell you that I don’t have that much money. Can I substitute with physical object?” Adam said with a flushed red face while scratching the back of his head which is lowered.

“It’s fine. 10 silver is a lot for newcomers. The guild allow the repayment within half a year. However beyond that will be fined. Plus those that run away and does not pay up will be reported and hunted as wanted criminal in the empire so do take note”

“I see. Thanks” the youth says and took the beginner kit and a metallic plate with minimum information of the holder such as name and rank. Other personal info is recorded and an alike drawing of the person face is stored by the guild as references.

Adam is ranked the lowest, E. The rank system goes by highest to lowest which is SS, S, A, B, C, D, E.

The adventurers are a bunch of people that does odd jobs, mercenary, exploring new things and places in this dangerous world. They can sell new information to the guilds and outsiders can post request too. There are many kind of people because the guild do not specially forbid people to join or discriminate anybody as long as they follow the rules of the guild. Those from other guilds or organisation such as the Smithing guild and Magician guild may register themselves as adventurers.

After finishing his registration, Adam quickly went to have a look at the boards on the first floor. The boards are made of wood to stick missions and request. It is wide and had the height of over 2metres. It extends from one end of the building to another end by merging many boards. The first floor only consist missions from E to C and second floor only consist mission for A and B. To prevent weak adventurer from making reckless decisions, missions for rank S and SS are only available when ask from the guild officers. Members can complete mission outside of their rank and be given completion rewards and promotion points according to the mission but it is recommended to take mission within the rank. As they says ‘Do not bite more than you can chew’ or else ‘you will choke to death’. The regulation is lax because adventurers are the brave people that explore the unknown world and they are prepared to face death at any given time.

“All of this seems like simple task. Some are even ridiculous”

“It is fine to hunt some wild animals but...what are these. Collecting morning dew water. Protection for outdoor walk. Clear the pest in the farm. Gather information on sudden attack near the road to the city” Adam was speechless.

“I thought that it should be exciting for adventurers as it was promoted but this is a disappointment”

“I think it can’t be help as some just wanted to find a job and past their life in peace”

“Why not create a organisation called Odd job service or mercenary guild”

“Actually this is better. Separating them make thing troublesome and this give newbies some initial warm up”

After talking to himself and searching for a while, he decided to take a request for clearing the monster in a newly found cave that is going to be transformed into a copper mine. It was a multiple person mission where anybody can join. The reward is based on number of monster killed and its identity. The motive is to wipe out the cave dweller. They had surveyed and found out that the monsters within is just some lizard like shorty and bigger than normal spiders. Adam then inform the officers that of the mission registration number written on the board. After getting the information required, he then proceed towards the cave since it is still early in the morning. Ration and equipment is already prepared before hand.

----------------------------------------

The cave is on a small hill inside the forest 2 kilometres away from the city. Once he reaches the entrance he lit the torch made up of wooden stick warp by cloth soaked in flammable oil that was in the beginner adventurer kit given by the guild. Today is the day he became an adventurer and the start of his exploration. Entering the cave with large strode marks the beginning of a new page in his life.

“Move out of the way. Move!!” a hurried loud voice came from the dark cave seemingly anxious. Adam also heard footsteps of several people rushing toward him in a quick pace.

“Come on. This marks the start of my of my heroic saga. Don’t be anti climatic” Adam thinks while moving to the side to avoid clashing the hurried team of people coming towards him like a herd of cows galloping.

Several man exited the cave and one of them seems to be carrying a person that slump on his back. The men with the most rugged and square-ish face scans Adam for a second or two and passes by him. He then continue on going forward without looking back and said

“Careful lad, those puny lizards will are some cunning ones”
