2 Hours Later, Alone with Rebilious In a Narrow Road.
Adger reaches behind his back with one of his hand, where he was hiding one of his guns
'I probably should stop acting all good and nice since now we are in the city. Should I kill him now? I have been holding myself back for way too long, I am aching to kill this mother-fucker the time he touched me!' with that thought in Adger's mind, Both of them now were in a city Known as Rangtel!'
While Adger was walking behind Rebilious and thinking to sabotage Rebilious and kill him off- Rebilious suddenly asked Adger out of nowhere
" Kid, do you have anything that you wanna do? I am almost done. I already sold the material so, I will be leaving the city. " (Rebilious)
When Adger heard Rebilious says that, He let his gun slide back behind his coat and replied to Rebilious with a straight face
"I'll search the city for my companion who left alone to die... I have a few questions to ask them " (Adger)
Adger was searching for his friends and told Rebilious a lie with some truth in it, Now truly intents to find his friends were sent to this world just like him
Rebilious suddenly stopped walking and looked behind from his shoulder towards Adger -Does he wants to take revenge on the previous companion for leaving him alone?
Adger noticed Rebilious staring at him
"What? Do I have something on my face? " (Adger)
Rebilious started walked again and Adger started to follow me, Meanwhile, they started talking.
"Aha, it's not that. I was just thinking about your companion- Anyways, You said before that you came from a forest in the south? Didn't you? Are you perhaps strong? if that's the case, you can join the Adventure Guild. You can also earn some money by doing low-level quests. " (Rebilious)
"Adventure's Guild? " (Adger)
Adger was a free-guy in his previous world, Not having much to do He often read novels and later also studied a prestige school, That's where he also met Albert at a young age. Anyways, He somewhat knows What is an Adventure Guild- He gained knowledge of Adventure's Guild from novels he read.
With an expression of excitement, Adger said
" Oh YEAH! I should join the Adventure's Guild! By the way, Are there more Guild? " (Adger)
"Ah... You sure look excited, And yea there are but you probably shouldn't waste your time on them but if you are some sort of noble or knight then that's a completely different story. " (Rebilious)
" ?? What do you mean? " (Adger)
" Well, Unless you are noble or from above commoner status. You cannot join Other Guilds. " (Rebilious)
"Huh? Meaning? " (Adger's Reaction.)
'What I mean? Doesn't this kid already know abo-- When I think about, This kid-- It seems, Adger lacks common knowledge. ' With that, Rebilious finally realized that Albert lacks common sense
"To put it simple words, There is Job Rule, A commoner or a villager like us cannot join Merchant guilds or Knight Guilds since It will be a disgrace to Nobles and hurt their pride as Nobles and Knights. Normal villagers can only join a Soldier's rank or Adventure's Guild. " (Rebilious)
Rebilious tried to explain it more simply but he held himself back from telling the true nature of this so-called Job Rule 'I cannot possibly tell him that, Villagers are accepted as soldiers for sacrifice them in frontlines and use them as meat shield for Knights and about Adventure, Well, Their lives are almost all the time at risk'
But Adger replied to Rebilious In an unexpected way
"So, You are noble. I see I see." (Adger) -Good thing I didn't kill him.
"Eh? Who said I am noble? " (Rebilious)
"What? Aren't you merchant? " (Adger)
" I AM NOT! " (Rebilious)
"Huh? Then Why are you doing the job of Merchant? " (Adger)
they started arguing and did not stop for while, from while I mean almost 10 min and in the end, Adger found out that, Rebilious is not merchant but he is worker of a merchant, merchant is regarded as high-class job and only handful people can join it because of lack of studies for people in this world and The Job Rule.
After Explaining About Rebilious's Job.
Rebilious and Adger were back to the gate they entered the city from, Rebilious stopped in front of the gate and said
"*Sigh* I feel tried now, Anyways Kid, it is time for me to head back to my village and there is something I wanna tell you, your clothes are unusual you should change them " (Rebilious)
Adger Looks at his clothes, He was wearing a black trance coat, black and white matrix designed scarf covering his neck, His shirt was also black without any tie with a normal black pant. 'Hmm, I did try to change my clothes before but... '
"No, It's fine, I don't wanna change my clothes. So, You heading back huh? Well, Thank you old man for everything you did. "
Rebilious reached his bag with one of his hand and took a silver coin out
"Don't worry about it and Take this silver coin and Join the Adventurer's Guild. Sorry Kid, This all I can give you though a silver coin will be enough for you to last one day, including Inn fees, meals, and Fee of Joining Adventurer's Guild. "
Adger found himself baffled when He saw Rebilious Handing a silver coin to him
-He only has 10 silver coin on him, That's what he earned from selling those goods he came with, That trip almost took him month- Who knows How profit he earned from it but still, Handing over a silver coin to someone whom he just met a day ago? Is he fucking crazy?
In Adger's Previous World, Money was regarded above everything. At least, For Adger That's it was, Adger lived in a completely different league or world compared normal citizens of his previous world. Even though Adger was the Richest Person in his previous world, He knew Value of The money Since most of the time, It was money that solved almost all the problems.
"Thank you, Rebilious. " -Only fools say no to free money! (Adger)
Adger had not a single penny on him so, even 1 silver coin will hold significant value for him so, He accepted it without even asking a single question. Regarding it as Rebilious's foolish action and Adger's Good Luck.
"By the way, Can you tell me about the currency of This country? " (Adger)
" Well, The value of Currency is pretty the same for every country. You will have to exchange only if you travel to a different continent since This currency comes from The Empire But I doubt you will ever have to exchange the currency, Almost no-one travels between continents expect Merchants or Kings. And Currency goes Something like this--
Currency
Highest To Lowest
Ruhan - Super Rare Coin -> Never seen by most of Nobles, A Legendary Coin if not a Legend.
Gold Coins - mostly used by Nobles and Kings
Silver Coin - mostly used by adventures, knights and merchants
Copper Coins - mostly used by commoners folk or villagers
Copper coins are mostly referred to as Takka in commoners expect in guilds and rich people
96 Copper Equals to a silver coin
96 Silver Equals to a gold coin
A gold coin is A gold coin
and As I said before, 1 silver coin can be enough for you to last two/three days. " (Rebilious)
Rebilious explained it to Adger while trying his best to simplify it Though Adger had a hard time understanding it, the explanation was overwhelming for him, he was rather stupid when it comes down to stuff like this
-What the hell is this currency? I almost fell asleep.
Adger replied to Rebilious while keeping his acting and trying to be modest
" I understand, Thank you. " (Adger <-- Didn't understand most of it )
"Okay then, Be safe. " (Rebilious)
As Rebilious said that he bid his farewell to Adger and gave him a silver coin from what he earned and now Adger was alone again 'What I should do now? Aha, I forgot to ask Rebilious Where Adventure's Guild is.. damn it.' he wandered around the city for a while 'Well, This city... It sure looks wonderful but I AM LOST. Ain't I? ' and came upon a shop and opened the door of the To ask for the direction of Adventure's Guild
When Adger opened the door of the shop, A bell rang and Adger was greeted by a young lady
"Welcome, Cu... " It was supposed to be a normal greeting to a customer but when Young-Girl closely looked at the Adger, Wearing unusual clothes which seemed pretty expensive, She changed her tone " How may I help you, Sir? "
'Eek! A Noble? ' so, She thought.
"Aha, Sorry but can you tell me the way to Adventurer's Guild? " (Adger) replied to the young girl and started to stare at the girl aggressively, 'Wait, Isn't this just a kid? and she is handling this whole shop? Woah, Talk about child labor '
"Aha, Sure? " (Young-Girl) The young girl noticed Adger's stare and became a little uncomfortable "Sorry Mi..Sir, but... Umm, I am still underage. " (Young-Girl)
Caught by a surprise, Adger panicked and replied "Eh? Wait no! I am not into lolis! I swear I am not! " to protect his dignity as Ruler of Gun Slider.
The young girl became a little scared of Adger, Thinking 'Is he trying to take me as his misters? NO! Even if I am cute, I still have my shop to look after and my dad... He is still bedridden. ' with thought, She replied to Adger while avoiding the subject that may lead her to become misters of this unknown noble

"Sir, if you get lo... No, if you are looking for Adventure's Guild, I cannot leave the shop behind and guide you there but you can buy a map of the city. It might also help in your future " (Young-Girl)
' A map? I see Well, I get lost pretty easily so maybe this is a good idea ' with that, Adger replied " Yea, of course, I will buy one. How much it is? " (Adger)
Young-Girl took a breath of relief '*Phew* I somehow avoided becoming a noble's mistress! Thank goodness'
" 28 Takka, Sir. Will you buy it? " (Young-Girl)
"28 Takka? " (Adger) still didn't know the true value of takka and this currency but didn't have another choice so, he accepted it and bought a map of the city and left the shop while saying "Thank you, Kid"
The young girl was left behind with a shock, 'A noble thanked a commoner? How this can be?' while mistaken by Adger's appearance and thinking of him as a noble. a thought came in her mind 'Maybe... Maybe, It wouldn't be so bad--- ' But then she slapped both of her cheeks with her hands twice while saying " NO! What I am thinking! Phew, I won the hardest battle of my life. Being cute sure is hard! "
Now Adger had brought a map of the city Which cost me around 28 Takka
On Map/ Details of the city
The city was surrounded by defense walls, Adger understood this part pretty easily
There were four marks similar to a gate, On the defensive walls- In Each of Four Directions.
The city was divided into 4 parts / four layers, Each part was surrounded by more defensive walls inside the city
"But where the hell I am? "
Even though Adger had the map, He simply didn't know where he was in this map so he couldn't find his way to Adventurer's Guild by simply referencing. So, Adger called out a random person who was walking by
"Hello? Can you wait a moment? " (Adger)
The person Adger called out stopped and looked behind, Towards Adger ' A Noble? No, His clothes-- ' He walked to Adger and Asked
"Did you call me? " (Unknown Person)
This person had a sword on his side, Hanging on his belt- He kept one of his hand on the sword.
"Oh yes, I did. Can you tell me where I am on this map? " (Adger)
"Oh Is that it? Let me see" (Unknown Person) He took a map from Adger's hand in a rude way, which didn't please Adger 'Mother-Fucker.. ' So, Adger thought to himself and then replied to this unknown person he was asking for help
"Yes, I am kinda lost. " (Adger)
"And you can't even read a map? Hemp, Nobles these days. " (Unknown Person- Mumbled)
"What? " (Adger)
"Nothing, Look here-- Let me explain it to you so you don't get lost again" (Unknown Person) Then processed to explain
From Outer to Inner Layer
4th layer
is like a slum of city / poor people who can't even afford to eat. they live there
3rd layer for guilds and common people with few kinds of districts, in the third layer there is also statues of a soldier on a horse- You are here beside the statues.
The 2nd layer is for noble family or rich people with clean roads and rich houses/buildings
and the last 1st layer, in the middle of the city, There stands the Castle of King, Don't wander around that place, Even if you are noble.
on the top left corner of the map, there is the name of city Rangtel
You are in the 3rd layer of the city.. in 3rd layer building are mostly made by woods - Which is like houses of middle-class people, Here also lives some nobles who have fallen through the ranks or have financial problems. "
"Aha, I see. Well, I think that I Understand this map now. " (Adger)
This unknown person, He found Adger to be a little too easy-going person, The kind that attracts trouble most of the time and top of that, He had never seen Adger in this City before this meeting. So, He asked Adger
"Well, That's how it is- Anyways, What's your name? " (Unknown Person)
Adger quickly replied
" Oh, I am Adger Kichiro. You are? " (Adger)
The man hesitated for second but
"I am... My name is Noble, Isn't this a great name? Not many people use it" (Noble)
Adger had never heard of this word 'Noble? ' used as someone's name 'Am I retarded now? What does He think of him! he lying.' There was no way, Adger would believe such a lie.
"Yea... Sure... " (Adger) But he didn't care.
"Well then, I will be on my way. " (Noble)
With those words, Noble walked away-
"What an Asshole" was the first impression that Adger got From this so-called Noble person. 'Though, He was pretty good- Not in manner but-- He kept one of his hand on his sword the whole time. Ummm, Maybe he was some sort of Spy or from higher status walking among commoners? This person had every aspect of behavior a suspicious person would have or someone who is hiding something.'
"Well, Anyways-- Let's Head to the Adventurer's Guild now! " (Adger)
{ 3RD Layer of The City- Rangtel, In Front of Adventurer's Guild}
Even with the help of City's map, It took Adger around 1 hour to find it
Standing in front of Guild, Adger realized something 'Isn't this... The same place where I met Noble? Aha, Damn it! The guild was just behind me all this time. I took a round-about way! Well, Here goes nothing.' With that Adger walked inside the guild, The door was already open. There were a lot of people inside the guild and Building itself was the biggest in the third layer of the city, Though counter, Which seemed to be reception desk- Cause a girl was standing, doing nothing, Was empty- So, Adger walked towards the girl and the girl said
" Hello Welcome To Adventurer's Owl Guild- my name is Shila, How may I help you?"
This girl was an adult, with strangely beautiful white long hairs and her eyes were blue- It was a strange mixer of colors but 'She looks oddly beautiful and attractive!' though She lacked something crucial, Which could've attracted all most all the boy's attention to her--'And she doesn't have huge boobs! a perfect lady fit for me! ' Adger's taste was somewhat out of ordinary.
"Eye! I wanna become your husb... Aha, NO! I mean Adventurer! I wanna join the Guild! " Said Adger (Adger)
With a beautiful smile or perhaps she let out a little laugh- Shila replied to Adger
" I see, Is your father an Adventurer? How old are you? Well, I know you will become a great Adventurer in the future. " (Shila)
Adger, Confused by Shila's words
"Huh? No, I mean right now. I wanna Join the guild right now." (Adger)
And Shila's smile suddenly turned into concerns for this small kid, Who looks up to his The Father who told this kid, About his journeys as an Adventure, Fascinated by those stories- Wanting to experience that Adventure himself. That kid now comes to the guild, Asking to be an Adventurer, How she should reply to this kid without breaking his dreams?
" I know, You wanna become an Adventurer and Experience your father's life and the stories he told you about but still, Aren't you little too young? I can wait until you are an adult. "
'With this, I won't break his dreams! ' With that though Shila replied to Adger.
Meanwhile Adger, 'My father was Adventure? but... Wasn't he Head of Kichiro family, DId he lie to me? No, Wait! how does she even know my father? NOOO! WHAT THE HELL IS SHE TALKING ABOUT? '
"Dear, Shila. Have you perhaps mistaken me for a kid? I might be 5.* but you know, I am still 17-year-old." (Adger)
Shila and whoever heard Adger were struck like lightning when they heard Adger referring Shila by Dear. 'HOW IS THIS KID!! HOW COULD HE! ' / 'Isn't this kid, like stealing her from you? ' / 'Damn! I am so jealous! ' / 'What the hell is this kid doing here? ' were reactions of other Adventurers.
'Dear? Me? Anyways, How I should handle this? ' was the reaction of Shila, Being referred by dear-- She was almost about to explode in embarrassment.
With a little expression of the embarrassment of her face, she asked Adger
" I see, so-- You are 17-year-old. Could you tell me your name first? I don't wanna address... Umm You.. by you? " (Shila)
" Oh, you can call me by Adger but my full name is Adger Kichiro-I am not a kid. " (Adger)
The reply from Adger was rather normal 'Huh? *Deep-breath* I guess, He is just a kid. I was just over-reacting. ' <---- Shila
" Adger, I am sorry if I upset you with this but you cannot join the guild. you don't meet requirements for joining the adventurers guild, Only people with 18 or above age can join the guild and please restrain yourself from referring girls with dear, Since in commoner- It used to refer their wife or husband and to purpose a girl. " (Shila) -Of course, only if the person is out of your family line.
When Adger heard those words, He looked down towards the ground, Hiding his face and simply walked outside of the guild's building. When Shila saw him like this, ' I'm sorry, but... *Sigh* I broke a kid's dream, How horrible of me. '
Meanwhile, Adger was going through a rather complicated emotional state
'shit, I don't have much money left and I can't join guild wtf I should do now? but still, HELL YEAH! I FUCKING PURPOSED A GIRL! For the first in my life!! even though it was by mistake but I fucking did it! How happy I am!... No, I am angry? Fuck it! Now, How I should waste an hour? '
In the end, Adger decided to find a place to live in, An Inn to be exact- Adger looked at the map, there were most of the inn's locations on the map but he knew, These Inns on the map must be pretty popular and so, the even cost of the single night... whatever it would be, There was no way he would be able to afford it but still, he went to an inn which was shown on the map (just to make sure), and the price of the night was 98 Takka, that was equal to a silver coin - 'that's fucking expensive!, I knew it, these bastards aren't playing around with advertisement on the map itself! '
With that, He wandered around for an hour or so, and then went back to Guild.
'Oh the kid, He is back.. ' He was greeted by this thought when Shila saw Adger coming
" Hello Adger, Welcome Back. Do you need something from Adventurers Guild? " (Shila)
With a strange smirk on his face, Adger smiled and said " Oh Shila, I come here to join the guild, and I AM 18 YEAR OLD NOW! So, I don't think there is any problem to join the guild now, is there? " (Adger)
While surprised by Adger's sudden confession of being 18-year-old, she replied
" So, It took only a single hour for you to grow up? you know, you cannot lie to the guild, we will verify your age when registering you to the guild " -So, No point in lying. (Shila)
With as much as confident a human being can show, Adger replied
" Hehehe, Go ahead-- I don't mind verifying! " (Adger) -There is a point in telling the truth though!
" I see, Hold on a second. " (Shila)
Shila leaned down under desk to take something out and 'Umm, No Bra... I see. Well, There is nothing-- So no point in Bra I guess?' and because of that, Adger was greeted by something he shouldn't have- Shila, Took a needle and a piece of paper out of her desk, The paper was completely white and the needle was made from stainless steel, The point was needle was far sharper than Adger had ever in his previous world
While pointing the needle towards Adger, Shila asked
" Would you mind if I take a small drop your blood? It is to verify your age with a suited job class for you. " (Shila)
Adger showed some concerns about the idea of Shila poking Adger's hand with a needle "Yea, I wouldn't mind if I don't get infected by nasty bacteria! Are you sure this thing is properly sterilized? " (Adger)
Though Shila didn't completely understand what Adger meant " Pardon? Well, if you talking needle being cleaned then don't worry, It is properly cleaned. " (Shila)
" I see " (Adger)
And Adger, Showed his hand to Shila and Shila gently poked that needle with little to none putting pressure on the needle, The needle drew Adger's blood from his pinky finger without Adger's notice.
"Eh? I didn't even notice it! " (Adger)
Shila smiled and replied to Adger
"Good for you " (Shila)
'Damn, She is beautiful! I might have seen her smile for few times by now but still, it sends shivers through my spine! whenever she shows her gentle smile.'
After taking Adger's blood, She drops a drop of blood on that white paper and some character started to appear on the paper with Adger's personal information and with additional information that Adger had never seen before--But
"What does it says? I can't read a damn thing! " -what the hell is this language, Well I came from a different so Ummm that given I guess.
Adger was not able to read anything, these characters were unknown to him but Shila could-- Expression on her face hinted that she was surprised beyond the words!
" What is this? " (Shila)
"What is what? " (Adger)
"This? (points towards the paper) " (Shila)
"This? (looks at the paper) I don't know since I can't read it " (Adger)
And Once Again, Shila was surprised by the fact that Adger cannot read
"Eh? YOU CAN'T? *Sigh* Let me translate it in words for you
Name - Adger Koichiro
Age -18
Strength - Unknown (???)
Race - Unknown (???)
Skills -
Unknown (???)
Unknown (???)
Unknown (???)
Unknown (???)
Health Status - Unknown (???)
Occupation - 0 ( None )
Suited Job - CORRUPTED
Expect your Name, Age and Occupation- Everything is Unknown about you as if you don't even exist! " (Shila)
' Eh? What the hell? Am I some sort of Alie... Yea, I am an alien. Damn it! '(Adger)
Shila calmed herself down and said to Adger " Well, Anyways- You do meet the minimum requirement to be an Adventure and I admit, You weren't lying about your age. So, Would you like to register yourself as an Adventurer? The fee is 40 copper coin to Join the Guild" (Shila)
Still confused by Takka and Copper, Which seemed pretty easy to understand for anyone who read about it but It goes, Adger ' so as Rebilous said in guilds they use copper coin instead of Takka though I don't understand what is the difference between them? They look the same! ' is still confused about them.
He handed 40 Takka coins to Shila and she accepted them 'THEY ARE SAME! Why do you guys call them differently! '
After Shila accepted 40 Copper/Takka coins from Adger, She said
"Adger, With this, You Guild Card, it will be handed to you in thirty minutes so, You can wait for thirty minutes in the Waiting room or you can come back tomorrow to collect The guild card. " (Shila)
" I can wait but don't you have anything to ask? " (Adger)
"Well, This paper, It shows everything that we need to fill the form of Guild registration... It supposes too. Don't worry about it, If I need to ask something, I will call for you" (Shila)
" Okay, If you say so. I'll be waiting in the waiting room. Well, I am accepted in Guild so, No worries there- I guess " (Adger)
When Adger said that, Shila suddenly realized something and said
"Aha, no! you are mistaken. You are not yet accepted in the guild, That's something for Guild Master to decide- Though All most all of the people get accepted after verifying their status and age though I cannot tell the same about you Since you know... Well, You are unknown. Sorry That my mistake on my part, there is only a 0.01% possibility of failing but there is, and for you... I think there is a 50% possibility of failing. " (Shila)
'Hey! for god's sake, don't call someone unknown! and what's up with that unfair treatment! ' so, Adger replied in his mind.
"*sigh* I understand, I'll go now. " (Adger) -I don't wanna embarrass her anymore.
Shila asked her coworker to handle reception desk and took off, Meanwhile Adger headed towards the waiting room--
This is where His true journey will start- The moment He steps on the waiting roo*******************************
