part 2.

While crain is walking toward the town two soldier noticed him and headed in his way as they eyed him.

" halt stranger, state your business in the town. "

crain checked the soldiers who were wearing a metal armor along with a metal gauntlet and greaves while in their side a sword is in it's scabbard.

" i just wan't to rest for the day dear sire, since i traveled far my body is reaching it's limit. "

showing a weak response asking for their consideration as he made up the most plausible excuse that he noted in his head a while ago.

" are you a adventurer? if so, can you show us your emblem. "

crain learned from haze earlier that adventurer have emblems that shows their rank and also used as their id.

" no sire i'm not a adventurer but im planning to be one since i have just finished with my training in far land. "

the soldiers looked at him suspiciously and checked him, he were still wearing his simple white polo and black jeans but they were rugged to the point that there were some holes everywhere in his clothes even his checkered shoes has a hole showing the thumb of his feet. his clothes were unusual but haze said that it should be okay since there were many clothes in capital that isn't seen in a remote village so they will just be suspicious of him for his reasons and so that's why he noted in his head all the plausible excuses he can use before heading to the town.

'he must have a hard training to rugged his self that much.'

the soldiers shrugged their shoulders as they let him in with a warning.

" you can go in now but keep check of your actions inside, any trouble and your out."

" thank sire,but can i ask for a favor in telling me where can i find the adventurer's guild since i want to register my self as soon as possible. "

the guard explained to him were he can find the guild and so he entered the town.

as he enter the town he were mesmerized by it's appearance the houses are made of woods compressed together to make a wall and their rooftop is made of grasses and weeds making a medieval looking houses. even the villagers are dressed in a plain tunics and trousers and as for the woman they wore a simple blouse and a long skirt.

while walking in the street he looked around checking everything at his sight, then he felt many gazes staring at him.

'poor child, he must have been attacked by a monster. ' 'wow look at that hair cool, but he's short. ' ' those clothes are peculiar maybe he's from capital.? '

he heard many whispering voice of the villagers as he walked but he just shrugged his shoulder as hasten his step.

after minutes of walking he finally reached the adventurer's guild building. The adventurer's guild building is made of two story and at the entrance there is a sign with a two sword crossing each other.

As he opened the door a bell at the top ringed signalling a guest. walking inside there are many tables and chairs made of wood arranged neatly but there were currently no one in there apart from a sleeping male in the counter.

crain walked near the counter and knocked the desk twice.

" holy mother of..... "

the man in the counter almost fell in his chair as he saw crain walked near him with his silver colored hair along with his eye and his rugged clothes.

" i don't have any money to give you. get lost beggar. "

the man haughtily spoke as he shooed him.

" no sir i'm here to register to become a adventurer. and also to pass a quest that i have unconditionally finished. "

the man eyed in him in suspicious as he urged him to show it.

" show finished quest. "

this time the man showed a classic view were his eyes almost popped up with his jaws dropping.

" di-did you really do this? "

crain tilted his head as he can't comprehend his question since he showed him then who else were able to do this.

" i see, young lad you are fully qualified to become an adventurer but there are still formality to our side so at least you must kill some wolf in the east exit in the forest, kill at least 50 of them. "

*trring*

" i accept. "

*ahem*

after accepting the quest the clerk cleared his throat and spoke.

" as for your finished quest this town won't be able to give you the proper reward since we are just a branch but if you go to the city you will get a reward worthy of it's difficulty. "

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

crain nodded his head and headed to the door but remembered something and looked back.

" sir is there any blacksmith here? "

the clerk eyed him again since he were wearing a rugged clothes even he were able to finish the quest he still looked poor to buy some equipment for himself.

" ahh, i want to identify something i looted during my travel. "

he showed him the rusty sword handle, the clerk eyed it at first then lost interest at it, then explained to him on how to get there. after hearing what he wanted he walked out of the door.

"that young lad, he may looked weak but to be able to slay a ancient monster, he's quite a monster himself. I can't wait to let him become a adventurer. "

the clerked whispered in silence still eyeing the silver haired boy that didn't even introduce himself.

After walking out of the adventurer's guild crain walked toward the exit of the village hopping to get some money first through hunting some monsters before going to the blacksmith since he knows that the world worked around money.

exiting the village he walked for ten minutes and reached a open area where many rabbits with horn in their heads hopping and even some foxes are walking around.

there were some youths around the same age as him that were grouped in three or four as they hunted rabbit's using swords, bow's spear, mace and many other weapon. he learned from haze that being a adventurer has a age restriction, they must first received their coming of age ceremony at 18 so some people trained their children at birth to let them become a adventurer at the time they mature.

'noobs.'

he thought while watching them ganging a single rabbit but still having a hard time.

walking toward the nearest rabbit to him to test his physical strength and also to gain some experience on how the combat of this world worked since he really never fought anyone in real life, he just loved watching some fighting movies but don't know any martial arts.

" ummm, are you going to hunt alone? "

someone stopped him before he engaged the rabbit and he turned around to see if who dared to disturb him. there is a cute looking petite girl with a darkish brown hair wearing a white cloak, he stared at her suspiciously.

" umm, if you are alone why don't you join our party since you look like a beginner, even the rabbits looks cute they are still quite strong you know. "

the girl eyed him and he noticed that she were talking about his rugged clothes since he didn't even have a proper weapon nor armor to defend himself.

he shrugged his shoulder and looked at her back and saw three guys staring at him with contempt and irritation, and he looked again at the girl.

" sorry but it looks like your party don't want me in. "

signaling with his eye as he subtly added in his voice a tone of rejection but she just looked back obliviously and started to walked toward them.

*sigh*

'i guess i'll just join them for a bit and hunt for my self after this.'

after sometime of some talking and persuasion the girl come back with his party member and introduced them-self.

" i'm Gandalf the warrior and tank of this party. don't blame me if you died in the battle weakling. "

the first one to introduce himself haughtily is a male older than him with about two years or more. he has a dark black hair with a body with muscles proving his worth. He were also wearing a breastplate made of iron and holding a great-sword.

" Pish the archer. "

the other one is a pale looking archer that has a ghostly atmosphere with his brown hair and he introduce himself timidly.he was wearing a leather tunic and has a short bow in his back.

" Riff the spear-man. just let me warn you don't misunderstand her intention since she is just a good hearted girl "

this time a guy with a long blond hair introduced himself equipped in spear and just a light armor.

" and lastly Rina the healer of this party. "

he nodded at their introduction and also introduced himself.

" i'm crain, nice meeting you. "

the three just grumbled as rina walked toward him and invited him to a party.

*trring*

you have been invited to a party.

" i accept. "

he accepted his fate in resignation as he walked to them.......
