The city has a diameter of about one kilometer, it is surrounded by 5 meter tall walls, and has towers every few hundred meters. In the middle there is a big mansion, which is raised by a stone plateau. Just outside the city is fields for what looks like potatoes, and other kind of vegetables, running through the fields is small rivers that flow out to a lake. Just behind the fields is a forest that continues for a few kilometers and ends with a few mountains forming a natural border against a desert.
I begin to walk towards the gate, which has a line of people entering. At the front there sometimes shines a light, which last a second or two then vanishes. What is that Aterna?
That is a Magic Item that shines when it senses mana, and it checks if you have done something illegal.
A Magic item? do you think i can make a magic item?
Yes you can master, if you get the enchanting skill. You get it by writing runes and imbuing them with mana. It would be fairly easy for you to learn since you got the language comprehension skill, and the amount of mana you got. The runes have it's origin in the country of Dwarves, so i would recommend going there to learn it, it would probably be faster too. The humans have very few who got the enchanting skill, so they often trade with the dwarves.
So Dwarves exist too?
Yes. There is 8 races excluding yours and animals, Elves, Dragons, Dwarves, Humans, Elementals, Demons, Beastmen and Monsters, the monsters have several types such as the wolves you killed.
Okay, i guess i will go to he Dwarves later then. I get in line and wait for my turn. I didn't have to wait long, while i waited, i overheard a few people talking so i learned the language. I take out a pouch full of coins, and attach it to my waist. When it is my turn a soldier turns to me and asks "Do you have a guild card of some kind?"(Soldier)
"No, i don't." I answer back.
"Then you have to pay 5 copper coins and touch this crystal ball."(soldier) He says pointing towards the Magic item.
"Okay." I hand him the coins, and put my hand to the magic item. A bright white light covers the crystal ball, and after a few seconds it tones down.
"You can pass."(soldier) I continue walking until i reach to the main street. I grab a random passerby. "Can you tell me the way to the adventurer guild"
"Yes, it's a big building close to the city lords manor, it has a big sign with two swords, and the building is made out of stone, you can't miss it"(passerby)
"Thank you."
I walk down the main street looking for the guild, and after walking a bit, i arrive. You really can't miss it, It's at least twice the height of all the building nearby. I walk in, and i looked around expecting something... and nothing happened. So there isn't a cliché here that makes everyone look at me the second i come in.
I see a reception with three windows, all are manned by three pretty ladies, and none are occupied. I walk to the closet window, which is manned by a pretty onee-san with long blonde hair, and big breasts. "Hello, how may i help you?"(Big breasted onee-san)
"Hello i wish to register as an adventurer."
"Yes, then you need to fill out this form, and drop a little blood in the specified area."(Big breasted onee-san) She says while handing me the form, a pen and a knife.
"Okay." I take the form and begin to fill it out.
Name: Matthew Hill
Age: 19
Place of birth(you do not have to disclose the information) --------
Wished Rank:S. There is nothing really holding me back, so i can just go all out i guess.
And here is the toughest part, the bleeding part. If i do it with the knife, it will break. I guess i will bite myself then. I take my thumb and bite it. I hold it over the form and let the blood drip onto the paper. after about 1 second i don't bleed any more, and my injury is gone. Looks like me hoping for the injury to not close immediately helped, because it would have been closed much, much faster if i didn't do that. I give the the form back to the onee-san.
"Thank you, it will take a few minutes to process, so please wait here."(Big breasted onee-san)
"Okay." She begins to walk away, and i sit down in a chair nearby and wait.
After waiting for a bit, she comes back holding a card made of what looks like iron, and it also has a feel of magic around it. She is also carrying a document.
"Here you are, the guild card. With it you don't have to pay taxes each time you enter a city, and you don't have to touch the crystal ball either."(Big breasted onee-san)
"Oooh, that's good."
She gives me the card, and says
"To upgrade to your wished rank, you have to finish this quest and give something that proves you did it."(Big breasted onee-san)
"Ok, is there a time limit?"
"No, there is not."(Big breasted onee-san)
She gives me the quest, and i check out my card.
Name: Matthew Hill
Age: 19
Rank: F
Credibility: 0
"What is credibility?"
This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
"That is how reliable you are to finish a quest."(Big breasted onee-san)
"Ok."
What is the reason magic is coming out of this thing?
"It is so that we can change what is written on the card."(Big breasted onee-san)
I look at the document in my hands.
Quest: S rank
Description: Kill the monster that have been attacking Merchants leaving the town.
Requester: Merchant Guild
Time limit: None
Reward: 50 Gold Coins
That will be easy. I start to leave when the receptionist says. "If you don't want to do this quest, you don't have to, but you won't get another chance to rank up."(Big breasted onee-san)
"That is okay, i can do it."
I walk out of the guild, and start walking towards the gate facing the forest. When i get to the gate, i walk out. I guess you don't have to pay tax to get out of the city.
When i have walked a bit, i start sensing the mana in a radius of 5km. After a few seconds, i feel a big mana source a few kilometers away. I double check to see if anyone is around, and when i am sure there is no one around for atleast a kilometer, i take of my shirt so that it won't get ripped, and morph wings onto my back. I begin to fly towards the destination, at a speed of about mach 3, i could go faster, but then i would only miss my target.
After a few seconds, i arrive at the destination, which is a cave, leading in to a big hill. I sense it's mana a few hundred meters inside the cave. I begin to walk towards the monster. Which i can see now. It is a giant white ape like monster, it is currently eating on what i presume was a cow. It seems to have noticed me, because it have stopped eating, and is now looking at me.
It jumps towards me, and after a nanosecond the monster has reached me. The ape is extending it's hands towards me, and i do the same. We grasps each others hands, and the ape starts to press me down, but i do the same, just with more force. The ape is getting pressed down, and it's screeching.
The floor is getting cracked and i feel that the apes hand is breaking aswell. I kick the ape in the stomach, and it goes flying into the roof, making a huge hole, that lets the light get into the cave.
I follow after, and i see that the ape landed in the forest a few hundred meters away. I land beside the ape, and see that it is dead. I create a sword made out of adamantium, and i cut off the apes head. Then 2 screens pop up.

Ok, Titles

Titles, Race Annihilator.
Titles Explanation Race Annihilator
You have killed the last of a race. Each time you are facing the last of a race, you get a 20% boost in all Stats.
So that was the last of it's race, the race would have probablty been gone even if i didn't do anything, because there was only one left, and if i got my biology right, it shouldn't have managed to get an offspring.
I take the head, and start flying towards the city again. When i am about 100 meters away from the city, i land behind a tree, and morph my wings back, and i then put on my shirt again, i also put the head into my inventory. I begin to walk towards the gate, and this time i didn't have to pay nor touch the magic item.
I walk towards the Guild, and when i am right in front of it, i take out the head of my inventory, and enter. I walk towards the receptionist that i talked to last time. I put the quest and the head on top the desk. She is quite shocked since she is staring blankly at both of the things. "D-Did you complete the request?!"(Big breasted onee-san)
"Yes?" What has gotten her so agitated?
"Then let me confirm it!"(Big breasted onee-san)
"Sure?"
She takes the quest and head, and walks into the backroom. After about 10 minutes she comes back holding a pouch which seems full, and just behind her is a buff-looking old man.
"Hello, i am Bubal, and i am the Sub guild leader. Are you matthew?"(Bubal)
"Yes i am."
"Valenta here told me that you completed an S rank quest, is that right?"(Bubal)
"Yes, it's right."
"Ok, then you are to be promoted to S rank, but we will need your guild card for that, so may i have it?"(Bubal)
"Yes, here" I give the card to him, which then gives it to the receptionist Valenta.
"If you need anything else, just ask Valenta."(Bubal) After saying that he leaves.
"It will take a few minutes to upgrade your card into a mithril card, so please wait here. Oh, before that, here your reward for the quest."(Valenta) She says as she gives me the pouch, it is full of gold coins. I hang that on my waist as well.
She then begins to walk away.
When she comes back, she is holding a card that is silvery, with a little tinge of blue. Like my previous card, it has a feel of magic around it. I guess that is also the magic that was on my last card.
"Here you go."(Valenta)
"Thank you."
"Will you take a quest now or wait?"(Valenta)
"I will wait for a few days, and can you reccomend me a good inn."
"Yes, there is the inn i am staying at, the golden horse, it is right down the street."(Valenta)
"Thank, and if there is an S rank quest like the one i just did, can you notify me?"
"Yes, of course."(Valenta)
"Bye."
"Bye."(Valenta)
I walk out of the guild, and head towards the inn Valenta mentioned. I look at the sign which says Golden horse inn, with a golden painted horse with wings. The inn is two stories high and about 20 meters wide. I go inside, and walk to the reception, where an old woman is sitting. "Hello, may i rent your most expensive room for 1 month?"
"Yes, that will be 40 silver coins."(Old woman)
"Here." I give the coins to her, and she gives me the room key.
"Your room is on the end, labeled room 20. food will be served between 5 and 6 pm, you don't have to pay anything."(Old woman) I walk up the stairs, and look for my room. The door is made of polished wood, with nice details, such as flowers and trees. I unlock the door, and walk in. The room has 2 parts, one being the bedroom, the other being the living room, there is a small window that looks upon the street and watchtowers. I guess i will travel to the dwarven kingdom tomorrow. Aterna where is the dwarven kingdom?
It is the mountains you see before the desert.
Oh, that is close. Is that alright for the dwarves being so close to humans?
Yes, because there is a huge risk invading them because they are masters of enchanting, and even if they invade them it is pretty much impossible to succeed with the terrains in the mountain.
Ok. I lie down in the very much comfortable bed, and notice that the sun has gone down. Today has been pretty hectic. And i start fall asleep.
Sleep well master.
