> Quote:Paul being mentally exhausted didn’t realize the transformation se suffered for the last 2 weeks.
While being focused on finishing quests, he increased his stats by a huge amount, he was now considered a friend by everybody in the village even the dwarfs and elves that don’t like humans that much. Everyone considered Paul reliable and hardworking. Physically he didn’t change much at first glance but at a closer look, all his muscles were now perfectly defined, and while not having huge muscles like the soldiers in the village he still had their strength. Of course he wasn’t more powerful than the average solider from the army since he didn’t know how to fight and didn’t have any battle experience. Paul’s stats showed him to be a H ranker but that’s only because he didn’t went to the guild tester yet.
The next day he woke up and next to the bed on the table there was a huge amount of food and some new clothes.
Paul knew who brought him the food and clothes
"Thank you Nori".
He eat all the food and then tried on the new clothes her received from Nori.
The clothes were a huge improvement over the ones he had before. There were a pair of black pants, a white shirt and a pair of brown furry boots. He also saw that the he received some light reinforced leather armor and a pair of gloves that went up to the elbow. The leather armor with a hood was comfortable and light but still offered protection. The gloves were similar to the leather armor but they had a bits of metal on them for increased protection. The armor he had now offered some light protection and also looked pretty good on Paul. He didn’t put on the good though.
Then he looked at his hand and although he couldn’t see the bracelet he could finally see what he gained in the last 2 weeks.

"So some skills reached intermediary even the new ones…I probably used them without even knowing. I will check them later."
Paul then remembered that he still had in the ring the bodies of the 3 wolf’s and the horned pig. He took them out and touched the pig and said ”Slayer’s touch.". He got notified that he received 5 guild points. He did the same thing on the wolf’s. Each of the grey wolf’s gave him 10 guild points and the black one gave him 20. He absorbed them then back into the ring

Paul went out and headed toward the guild testing facility. On the way people recognized him, everybody was smiling and thanking him for his help. The soldiers were all watching him confused, since they had no idea what was going on. He was feeling quite proud of his achievement. Two weeks ago everybody was ignoring him and didn’t trust him.
The soldiers were already a bit suspicions of Paul, but when they tried to approach him at the next corner he already vanished. The soldiers went and reported that he is heading to the village center to their captain. Paul had no idea, he was too busy enjoying the attention.
When he reached the guild testing facility just before he went in, a hand grabbed him from behind and threw him a on his back. Confused he looked around and saw that he was surrounded by soldiers who were holding their swords ready. Paul realized then that the one who threw him was captain Rocka, who was smirking at how weak Paul was.
Then he said to Paul who was dusting himself off
-“You have been reported suspicious! Show me you stats! Fast before I behead you!”
Paul thinking quick on his feet he lowered all his stats to an average of 30 with Humble Mask and displayed the stats so that Rocka could see it as well. Rocka was looking at the window when all of sudden he said
-“You’re Paul Silver!? The one engaged to the woman I desire?!”
-“Yes I am. A pleasure to meet you…aahmmm who are you?”
Paul asked him with a straight face and tilting his head pretending he didn’t know him. When Rocka heard that, he became red with anger and said proudly with a loud tone
-“I am Rocka, Knight Captain of the 12th division of the royal army of Calvarno. I am one of the heroes sent to protect this village from the cursed advents!”
Then he stopped and all of a sudden all the soliders started applauding. They didn’t look happy.
"It looks like they are made to do this quite often"
Rocka then looked at Paul’s stats more carefully and started laughing.
-“Hahahahahah, are you telling me that she loves such a weak worm like you???Even your title is Weakling!!! Hahahahahahahhaha hahahaha…….”
-“I may be weak but you would lose to me”
Rocka stopped laughing and with an angy face asked
-“Are you clallenging me to a fight?!”
-“No no….nothing like that”
-“I want to make a bet with you, a bet that you will surely lose”
Paul learned while following the soldiers at night that Rocka loved to fight and win. The thing he loved more than fighting were women. And the thing he love most was gambling, he loved to win”
-“Hohoooo, a bet you say? And what makes you so sure I would lose”
-“Take the bet and you will see”
-“What is this bet and conditions?”
-“If you win the bet I will never see Mrs.Onca again and be your slave for 3 months. I will do whatever you want. But if I win the bet then you must leave Mrs.Onca alone and you will owe me a favor. While the bet is on you cannot bother Mrs.Onca. What do you think of these conditions?”
-“Interesting….but what are we betting on?”
-“I bet that while the two suns keep appearing up in the sky that you can’t find the advent in this village, prove that he is an advent, touch his head and say CAPTURED”
Rocka didn’t even hesitate and said agreed to the bet. They shook hands and the bracelets shined creating a contract between Paul and Rocka. Paul already knew that Rocka would agree to the bet, but he thought that at least he would hesitate.
The reason Paul knew that Rocka would take this bet it’s because one night while following him he heard him, talking to the mage about how the kingdom’s most famous seer predicted that an advent will appear in this village.
The seer never made a mistake, so Rocka was convinced that an advent will appear. He accepted the bet only because he was 100% sure he would win. Rocka ordered the soldiers to return to their posts and walked away feeling like he won already.
Paul then, after they left let out a small "Heh..." while smirking.
After the soldiers left Nori appeared next to Paul and kicked his shin. Paul started jumping on one leg in pain.
-“What did you do that for?!”
-“What do you mean, what I did that for??? What did you do!? Why did you make that bet with him?! What if you lose?!”
-“Stop, calm down…Don’t worry I won’t lose.”
-“How do you know that ?!”
-“Trust me….and until the two suns disappear he won’t bother you and after that….well we will figure something out”
-“I hope you’re right. As a thank you for this I transferred 200 guild points to you.”
Nori and Paul then went each their own way. Paul headed back to the guild testing facility and entered. The old lady seeing him started smirking.
-“Hehehe, the weakling returned. I heard some rumors of you even here where people only visit one or twice a week. So? What do you want?”
-“I’m here to check if I still get the same rank”
-“You do know that you still use up guild points even if you get the same rank right?”
-“Yes”
-“Well just head to the crystal and repeat the drill. The crystal will automatically absorb the required guild points. For you H rank you would use, if I remember correctly, 600 guild points. So be sure that you will rank up.”
-“Yes, I’m sure. Thank you”
Paul then activated humble mask and lowered only his luck down to 50, he left the rest alone. He put his hand on the crystal and the crystal let out a bright light and then stopped. It was exactly the same as last time. Then the first he did was check his title.
"Well at least it’s better than the last one"
