--Silas POV--

I just left the Zuri's house this childhood act is exhausting. I was surprise that the hero I send to be birth by that girl he wanted to save. Spend his new life as a girl. He may hold a grudge against me for that.

Zuri report I vaguely remind me the Demon Lords of that eon were expanding their lands. They weren't digging for anything just making portals to their territories. The childern nowadays call them dungeons. Also the holes aren't in the ground but space.

There're three types of dungeons artificial, naturally, & forged. Lets add that the mystic verson of a dungeon is call a labyrinth. Naturally form when too much miasma gathered in one place. Forged dungeons are the sapiens' recreation of a dungeon. Artificial dungeons form by bellua higher then tenth rank.

To have a good idea about ranks the Horn Rabbits are first rank. Childern older then five can be a even match. A average adult without train can fight with second rank. To become an Adventurer you need to handle a third rank. While Demon Lords are after the max fifteenth rank that not even superhumans can't fight.

When I got to the inn there was a pile of stuff next on the table. Grandpa was sitting there waiting for me.

"Silas, today we are going to the E-class dungeon" (Grandpa)

The stuff gear was cheap stuff for beginner adventurers. The only armor was a leather chest plate. The weapons I put on my belt are two daggers, set of throwing knives, bombs, and two kits for lock picking & trap disarmament. Grandpa fighting method he use is tools. His fighting style is quick kills with tools and if needed defend yourself with hand-to-hand.

I took the gear he prepare for me and put them on over my common clothes. We left the house this was some kind of path to adulthood. To finsh a low class dungeon or labyrinth. The way dungeon & labyrinth are rank is by the depth, traps, and the rank of the bellua/mediocris inside to rank them.

As we walk to the dungeon a Horn Rabbit stop nearby us.

"Okay Silas, Gray Rat maybe the easiest to kill, but they're still fast" (Grandpa)

"Un, ...." (Silas)

Arts are special moves that drain ones stamina. Steal use to take loot from bellua. I don't know where the loot come from one of those big mysteries. Steal is a game of chance that can be affected by how strong the bellua is and how strong the user is.

This time I got its a deck of 60 cards with the . Enchants are weaker version of Abilities that are place on equipment items. These cards are pretty much worthless as is. Once the card take in a bellua the card change with a picture of the bellua with its rank in stars, the name, and the skill. The enchant on the card change to then you can add skill to equipment. The capture rate of a bellua is low a bigger game of chance then Steal.

Acts are simply movements that doesn't take mana or stamina to use and Throw was of the tool method. I throw two knives one hit the rabbit's gut the other went off. It was coming at me with Plunge. I grab a card and use it there was an aura around the card then the aura connect to the Horn Rabbit. The rabbit was suck into the card. I put the card into the deck.

"That was good Silas to bad you miss with the other one" (Grandpa)

"I didn't miss take a look" (Silas)

Grandpa look behind the bush where the knife pass. He saw a Horn Ribbit with a knife in the back of it neck for a one blow kill. Doesn't matter if the other is stronger or weaker its still a creature with points that mean instant death. I retrieve the throwing knife. Grandpa handed me a leather bag with . So I put the Horn Rabbit into the bag.

As we continue there was 10 more Horn Rabbit with the loot the is just a dagger made form the horn that was better then the one grandpa gave so I swap them and one more deck. There were four Night Snake that are pitch black snake with then the loot is a ring with a gem that had & a ring with a gem that had .

The five Note Birds are brown bird with , then the loot was & with the . And final 21 Sweet Fly that are just hand size flies with . The loot where use to lure in bellua by smell, & . By the cards they were all first rank bellua.

The dungeon was located at the outskirts cliff. It was only a few steps inside, but a dungeon is a hole in space. Well those that enter will walk a long cave-like tunnel. This dungeon was 5 floors with one rank bellua. Grandpa was only there to watch I was to capture this dungeon myself. The first bellua was a as the name suggest a Gray rat with the size of a house cat.

I use the same moves I had been using first steal, then throw, and last card. This time I got it's a ring with . Putting it on I can see the bellua's name, rank, level, element, health, mana, & stamina. It's pretty much useless and way to common to be sold. I will keep it as a sentimental reason this is my first item. This Gray rat was second rank with the . A few more steps a another one now with the ring I check its stats.

Species: Gray Rat Group: Bellua Family: Beast Rank: ** Level: 8 Element: None (HP): 36 (MP): 13 (SP): 23

This steal give me these ball like item is a roulette game. It could be something good, nothing at all, or death. It instant kill after I got the item. I didn't want that it slow so I took a Honey Bait out and broke it. It took a few minutes but the sound of a stampede heading this way. I took out the bombs lit them and throw as the hoard was coming close here. With the ring I saw the stats.

Species: Red Bat Group: Bellua Family: Beast Rank: ** Level: X Element: None (HP): 27 (MP): 18 (SP): 33

Species: Small Spider Group: Bellua Family: Beast Rank: ** Level: X Element: None (HP): 24 (MP): 20 (SP): 14

Species: Blue Slug Group: Bellua Family: Beast Rank: ** Level: X Element: None (HP): 26 (MP): 17 (SP): 11

Species: Pluffroom Group: Bellua Family: Plant Rank: ** Level: X Element: None (HP): 20 (MP): 55 (SP): 5

All of them were the same size as the Gray Rat. Red Bat give me , , & . Small Spider give up , , & . Blue Slug give up , , & . Trap Frog give up , , & . Hang Root give up , , & . Pluffroom give up , , & .

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

I keep my distance stealing and catching while bombing them. After it was over I put the bodies and items into the Storage Rings then into the bag. One have to work fast in a dungeon or the dead bodies will be absorb into the dungeon. We continue to walk down a empty dungeon floor.

Next four floors were the same just with higher levels and greater numbers. At the end of the fifth floor are two big doors. The young ones call this the Boss' room. To the old ones like myself call this place is call the Plane's Horizon. The floors are like pieces of a plate. The Plane's Horizon is were the plate end. Guardians are spawn by the condense miasma or mystic. If the dungeon was larger after the Plane's Horizon is another plate.

I open the doors to the boss room in the center of the room was a third rank. This was a rat with black fur and the size of a larger dog. It was sleeping but as I walk in It woke up. The stats came into view.

Species: Black Rat Group: Bellua Family: Beast Rank: *** Level: 2 Element: None (HP): 60 (MP): 44 (SP): 57

It charge at me so I throw a few knives with bombs. When they explode as the smoke clear there was chunks out it's flesh. Blood was flowing out it was crying out in pain. To put it out of it's misery I pierce the skull with the Horn Dagger. As the boss was now dead the room is the safest place. Grandpa took out all the animal bellua in the bag. Then show me step by step how to dismantle them.

When we finsh we exit the dungeon. The exit that was the entrance. The whole trip took six hours. Grandpa said that it was fast for a first timer that he was planning too be there for twelve hours. That why we left so early.

Grandpa took me to the Adventurer Guild. It was a four story buildings. As you walkin on either side were receptionist desk 10 on both sides and center one looking at the door. We walk up to the center one with the larger rack and long blone hair woman.

"Welcome to the Adventurer Guild Mister may I help you." (Receptionist)

"Hello miss I'm here too sign my grandson up" (Grandpa)

"Okay, I need him to full out this paper." (Receptionist)

I took the papers and start writting. Just the common stuff was name, age, birthplace, species, race, hair & eye color, and fighting method. I then handed the paper to the woman.

"Miss before you go making the ID card. He have material to give you" (Grandpa)

As grandpa say I put the bag with all the dismantle material. She took it with her with the paper. I was waiting for her return with grandpa. She return with the bag and a card.

"Sirs in the bag is the money that the material. We can say it out loud so jealous wouldn't cause problems. There a paper inside that list the prices. This is your ID card if you did give us a third rank the card would had been made from paper or wood. Paper mean your a pre-Adventurer and wood for beginner. This stone card show others you're a full fetched Adventurer. To make it your just need a drop of blood." (Receptionist)

I poke my finger and put the blood on the card. The card change from blank to showing my info on the back I could see my stats. Best part no one but me can see that stufff.

Name: Silas Eberspacher Age: 10 Gender: Male Species: Human Race: Tianxia Eye color: Black Hair color: Black  Skin color: Tan  Birthplace: Kuravilla, Oraltill   (HP): 225 (MP): 333 (SP): 204       Ability: [Past Life] [Soul Key] [Hero's Remnant] Acts: [Figth] [Throw] [Slash] [Pierce] [Aim] [Guard] [Strike] [Pray] [Chat] [Form] [Warm] [Harden] [Chill] [Drain] Arts: [Wall 17%] [Steal 45%] [Javelin 15%] [Chi 16%] [Deflection 20%] [Range 37%] [Shatter 18%]   Spells: [Heal 12%] [Focus 13%] [Dirt 10%] [Drip 34%] [Heat 30%] [Breeze 22%] [Illusion 45%] Skill: [Cooking 45%] [Cleaning 33%] [Sewing 21%] [Smithing 2%] [Carpentry 23%] [Enchanting 10%] [Alchemy 16%] Knowledge: [Dismantle 46%] [Swimming 15%] [Tranlate 39%] [Penmanship 20%] [Arithmetic 22%] [Management 47%]     Str: 67 Int: 82 Dex: 74 Vit: 85   Wis: 105 Luck: 79 Cha: 80    

I willn't go into detail it pretty straightforward. I don't real know what the percentage for and not going to ask. The base stats are compatible to ones age. So as a ten year old with strength 1 points one can lift 5 pounds, as an adult the 1pt. will equal 20 lbs. With the 67 points I can lift 335 lbs. The points lowered if I don't care for myself. Now I'm a kid so the affect isn't that big but when I'm older it will count for a lot.

Beginners are basic stats under 50, Novice are basic stats under 100, Amateur are basic stats under 500, Common are basic stats under 1000, Professional are basic stats under 5,000, Expert are basic stats under 10,000, Specialist are basic stats under 100,000, Master are basic stats under 1,000,000, & Heroes go up to a billion.

Ability are quirks given at birth or by achievement. Hero's remnent just speeds up training. It's ¼ the power the Hero title would give you. Normally I would have been 19 before I start seeing these numbers. Last Soul Key is just a key attached to my soul. The key opens my vault or better said the former Demon Lord of the Wretches' vault. It been over hundred year the last I was in it. I was going to put that girl's soul inside but the hero stop me in time.

My vault is similar to the sapiens' but my, you can walkin too. It useful for me cause I was a collector also like to keep everything organize. Man I luck out that girl would have been a wonderful figurines. Don't judge me it was a hobby back when I was a prince. These artist started a revolution with picture books call manga & figurines of those characters when I was first born.

It started when a Hero was summon to fight the Demon Lords. Now that I think about it a lot of human history was lost when those seven came to the earth. Damnit, the only copys of manga are inside my vault. There was a time when I took manga instead of souls. Thinking back I did grant outrageous wishes for that era's manga. Then the manga trade just stop, I never made the connection til now. If I knew I would have been the one too destroyed those seven and the next 75 generations.

When I started to take souls for the trade. I real had no reason for them just perfect mode to make figurines of my favorite characters. Thinking now those souls are still conscious, deform, & forever stagnant. Oh, Gods I would even play with them like a kid and even change their clotheses. Well, nothing can be done now lets forget it. It's to bad that manga died off and was forgotten.

When we return to the inn it was before dusk. Grandpa sold the materials & items to the Adventurer Guild. I will not see a coin of it cause the inn is having money trouble. So grandpa took me under the cover of training me. Grandma is a stubborn that doesn't like to ask others for help.

"So, you two had return. Dad why you kept him out so late. Dinner is cold now." (Mom)

"Ah, Sena sorry we made a stop at the Guild" (Grandpa)

"Find, both of you finsh your dinner the Silas get ready for bed and dad need to fix a few things." (Mom)

"Come on kid get busy eatting" (Grandpa)

As the both of us where eatting. The others pass by as the night shift started. I still had on the Libra Ring so I saw the limited stats.

After dinner I went to take a bath. I look into the mirrior this body is pretty average for one my age. With smooth short black hair and black eyes. My skin have a nice tan color too it. In the bathing room was a tub and shower next two eachother. You wash your body with the shower. The water come from a Blue Miasnite that get replace every now and aging. When your finsh you soak in the tub.

Each species & kind have there own style of bathing. The bath house down at the inn have a shower where you have to stand up and huge tub that can hold 100 people. Two different rooms for the two genders. The wall between them is made of steel and there a ceiling. This doesn't stop some perverts from both genders from trying to peek. I just don't understand that lust they had.

As I rest in the tub thoughts just came out for the future. Should I stay and take over the inn or leave then what? What about the friends what to do with them just leave them or ask them to come. I left the tub without an answer got dress and went to bed.
