As I walk to the Adventurer's guild hall I reminisce about my old life. It has been a month since I came to this world, and I still have no idea of how I died. Though I am still sad about not being able to delete my internet history before I died. My parents will be disturbed to see the amount of midget porn that I have watched. Well at least on the plus side of things I am not going to be around to face the music. Though this world is far crueler than earth. I saw a nobleman rape a woman in front of her husband then slit her throat. In this world the people are but cattle to the nobles and their follies. 

I am interrupted by the door. I might or might not have forgot to look up while deep in thought and walked face first into it. I regain my composure and open the door. Though the place is unassuming from the outside it is majestic and grandiose on the inside. It takes up almost a city block and is multistoried. I walk up to the receptionist who is sitting in by the door in a huge circular desk. "Hello my name is Tyber I would like to join as an adventurer." I excitedly say.

"Well lad we need to test to see if you have any affinities first." The redhaired dwarf tells me. 

"Wait what are affinities?" I ask bewildered. 

He laughs then answers "There are 6 different types of affinities with different variations for subclasses. The first one is Life affinity which is common for healers. The second is Physical enhancement common for most tanks. The third type is fire. The fourth type is earth, the fifth type is water. The 6th type is death though we don't actually have anyone on record that uses that affinity at the moment." 

"Alright what do I do for this test?" I ask. 

"It's simple I am going to hand you this slip of paper and it will tell me what affinities that you have." The dwarf responds. He then hands me the piece of paper which starts turning golden and black at the same time. His eyes open wide and he takes the aper from me very delicately, then does the good ol dwarven waddle run. This gets my heart racing. What is so important that the dwarf is needing to run. It's a known fact they only run for mead and fights. He returns shortly with an high elf in tow. 

"Chapter master this is the lad!" He says out of breath. 

"Hello, I am Theo the master of this chapter of the adventurer's guild." He said to me reaching his hand out for a shake.

"How's it going my name is Tyber" I say while shaking his hand.

"What class are you hoping for?" Theo asks

"Well, I just want to be a healer. I thought about it and I don't really think I would be good at any melee class." I respond.

"I think that we can manage that, isn't that right Ogrid?" Theo states and Ogrid shook his head. 

"That's great! What are my affinities by the way?" I ask. 

"You have two, they are life and death which will make one hell of a healer when you level up." Theo said.

"Follow me and we will talk as we walk." Ogrid said.

I started to follow the dwarf as he told me the rules of the guild. "You are currently F rank. That means you can only do F rank quest. Also look at your new class and skills." Ogrid says. I do as he obliges. White mage. Can heal or bring someone back from death. Skills Heal, cure mind, cure poison, revive 1. 

"Your class is unique. As far as I know you're the only one in our branch. I almost forgot to mention, if you are in a party you can do quest one grade above your grade. For example, if you party up you can do level E quest." Ogrid finished right as we came up to the quest board. So many quest and yet I can only do a few of them. "I'd recommend that you do a quest with a party. It should help you since you don't have any attack spells." Ogrid advised, then help me find a quest with a party to go into the first floor of the dungeon and defeat the boss. It was an E ranked quest. 

I accepted the quest and went to meet the party that I would be joining. I found them sitting at the guild cafe eating breakfast. I walk up and introduce myself and ask what their names were. The dwarf responded that his name was Ragnar, and that he was a warrior tank. Next was the orc woman who has a very fine figure. She told me her name is Bradi, and she was a berserker DPS. The last person to introduce themselves was the forest elf. He says his name which is Legris. He is an archer. "How long have you all been adventuring" I ask. They all look at each other confused before Ragnar replies "We are all new to adventuring." He says. I nod my hand in understanding. " I think that this might be good for me to join a party and grow with them." I thought to myself. 

I waited as they finished their breakfast and then we headed to the dungeon. We made it to the dungeon in the center of town. If I was to be a betting man, I would place money that this town was built around the dungeon. "Are ye all ready?" Asks Ragnar. We gave a brief nod, then Ragnar opened the stone door. We started walking around trying to find a few encounters to gain a level or two before the boss fight. 

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

It didn't take long before we found our first encounter. It was a small group of goblins, maybe five in total. Ragnar screamed to draw their attention to him, then ran forward. I then noticed that Bradi ran forward as she drawn here sword. That sword has definitely seen better days. I look at everyone's health bar as the battle continued and cast Heal on Ragnar. It was pretty neat watching all the lacerations he suffered closing up. As I watched Ragnar, I seen him use his shield to bash the head of one goblin in. Then Bradi separated a goblins head from his neck, then slashed one. Its intestines slumped out of it as the goblin fell over. Then I see Legris launch and arrow directly through one of the last two goblins heads. It started running away and we let him. After all we just wanted the XP. This decision however backfired on us. 

He came back with his friends and now there was 20 goblins. Now we all felt nervous. "Draw them in Ragnar I got this!" I yelled out. He looked back at me and smiled. He then turned back around and ran straight into the middle of the swarm. I started casting Heal on him while keeping an eye on my mana. Between him bashing skulls left and right, Bradi looking like doom guy slashing around, and Legris launching arrows the swarm didn't last long. 

We sat down to catch our breath and to let me replenish my mana when I got a notification. I had leveled up! I am now a level two white mage with two new passive skills. Now my mana replenishes faster when my party is doing damage, and the second is that when a creature dies around me it replenishes my mana also. Looking at those two combined it's almost like infinite mana. I got a new active skill which is party heal. It takes more mana than regular heal but could definitely be useful. Ragnar also leveled up. He is now a level 2 warrior. While he didn't gain a new level his HP did grow some. The last person to level up from that encounter was Legris. He became a level two archer. He got a new active skill Rapid shot. It increases how fast he can load and shoot the arrows. 

"Alright guys now that we have seen our new levels and skills, I think it's time for us to find the boss." Ragnar said, and we all agreed. Unlike in the games that I played before, this was totally different and way harder to find the boss room. After around what felt like an hour of searching and being careful not to set off any traps we found the boss room. "Alright is everyone ready?" Ragnar asks. The three of us shake our heads but walk in anyway. My heart made friends with my asshole when the door slammed behind us. A mage hobgoblin, and two regular hobgoblins popped out of nowhere. I guess this world has spawners. 

Ragnar runs in and gets their attention. "Legris target the goblin mage!" I yelled out. He is the only one that can attack us in the back. Legris uses rapid fire on the hobgoblin mage. Ragnar and Bradi go after the other two hobgoblins. I watch everyone's HP as I dodge a fire ball. I cast group heal. Then for no apparent reason the hobgoblin mage attacks Bradi. He cast fireball which blows off Bradi's legs. Her HP drops faster than a virgin's pants at a nickel whore house. I start casting Heal on her as fast as I can. I manage to keep up with the hp loss. What is neat is watching her legs grow back as I cast heal. I dodge the random fireball while Ragnar protects her while she is vulnerable.

I start wondering where the fuck Legris is when I see he was in the corner throwing up. He has his back turned towards the mage as another fireball is cast. This fireball was cast towards him however. I yelled to warn him, but his reaction was too slow. The fireball hit him in the middle of his back. "Revive!" I yelled casting what is the only spell with a cooldown time. I see his hp go from 0 to 1 and cast a heal on him which almost got him back up to full health. I turn back to see Ragnar using his shield to cut one of the hobgoblins in half. 1 down two to go I think to myself. I cast heal on Bradi one more time to top her off. I then look. My mana is shooting back up fast but the use of revive takes a good bit of mana. "Tyber can you top me off?" Legris asks. I cast heal on him one more time. I look back towards the other two Bradi was now on her feet and wearing shorts instead of the pants. Note to self, heal does not bring back cloth. 

Ragnar and Bradi team up and attack the other normal hobgoblin. Ragnar bashes the side of its head with his shield disorienting it, then Bradi came in finishing it off by stabbing it in the throat. It hit the ground like a sack of potatoes. Finally, Legris finishes off the Hobgoblin mage. It took him at least 10 arrows and he shot probably 40. He should work on his accuracy. We stand around for a minute before we all leveled up. I am now a level 3 white mage. I got a new passive skill. HP buff. It is exactly like what it sounds. It just boosts the amount of health the party has. Ragnar is a level 3 Warrior. He gained the skill Taunt which helps him draw enemy aggro. Bradi is now a level 2 berserk. She just had a boost to her health. Legris is now a level 3 mage. He gained a passive skill Under Pressure. It helps his accuracy shooting under pressure. If there is a skill anyone needs, it would be him needing that.

"Let's loot!" Ragnar says excitedly. 

"I got dibs on the mage's wand." I say, and they look at me funny.

"First of all what is dibs? Second, lad you're the only magic user in this party of course the staff would be yours." Ragnar says to me. 

"Dibs is just a way I have learned to lay claim to something." I say sheepishly. Ragnar and the others shrug and loot. After they get done looting we all walk back to the guild. Discussing weather or not we should make ourselves an official party. "I want to." I said to the others. 

"Let's make it official." Said Ragnar and Bradi. Though Legris still seemed nervous. I think that what he seen shook him up a bit. I was right as he started speaking." I don't know if I want to stay an adventurer after what I seen today. I mean I nearly died!" He shouted. 

"Did you die?" I ask. 

"Well, no, but that is beside the point." He replied. 

" Legris no matter what you are going to see disturbing things in this world as an adventurer, but we have a freedom few others outside the nobility have! As long as we stick together, I think that we can make it through anything. We have an amazing Healer and an amazing Tank. Just stick around and give this a true chance. If not for us give the freedom a chance." Bradi finished. Legris huffed and gave her a nod, and after a brief walk, we made it back to the guild hall. It's time for us to collect our reward.
