Oh goodie if my life were a web novel I’d be at the part where we talk about the complex systems of the adventure guild and benefits of the ranks, and the quest taking and all that shit.
We just entered the guild, and it’s bustling full of big muscular men, seedy looking stab-you-in-the-back dudes, sexy well-toned women, prostitutes looking for successful men to waste their money on them.
Oh dude there’s even a bard singing about how about how everyone here is an asshole that’s going to stab you in the back and steal all your money.
This is fucking awesome.
I wonder how this all works.
“Alright we’re heading out”
Aww that was quick we weren’t even there for 10 minutes.
As we’re walking to the city gates Elf bro tells me, Varvara, and Leo the stuff we need to know about the adventure’s life.
“Adventure guilds are horrible places, full of scum.
This city is particularly bad so don’t spend any more time there than you need.
Well unless you’re going to beating up people left and right to make a gang, that’s always an option.
Also...”
So in summary adventures are a bunch of vagabonds that use their strength to earn money.
The ranks are: S, A, B, C, D, and E.
The only requirement to gain a rank is to complete a job of the corresponding rank.
Finish an E rank job, you’re a E rank adventurer; finish a D rank job, you’re a D rank adventurer, etc.
Pretty simple, right?
The catch is that the difficulty between ranks rises exponentially.
The general guideline is something like this:
E ranks are elementary ranked in their respective power.
D ranks are Intermediate ranked in their respective power, or is a group of competent elementary users.
C ranks are advanced ranked in their respective power, or is a group of competent intermediate users, or is a group of extremely well-coordinated and resourceful elementary ranked users.
B ranks are Saint ranked in their respective power, or is a group of competent advanced users, or is a group of extremely well-coordinated and resourceful intermediate ranked users.
At this point a small country be actively seeking to recruit the individual or group to join their army.
A ranks are King ranked in their respective power, or is a group of extremely well-coordinated and resourceful advanced ranked.
At this point a decent size country would actively seek to recruit the induvial or group to increase the fire power of a country by a large amount.
S ranks are Emperor ranked in their respective power, or a clan that has the fire power of a small country.
Most people dream to become S ranked because at this point they have enough fame enter the upper nobility in most countries.
That’s pretty cool anyone can raise their ranks as an adventurer, gain fame, and increase their standing in life.
That would be a great goal, becoming an S rank adventurer and live a comfy life.
Alright that’s going to be the new goal.
First clear the debt, next become S rank adventurers and live happily!
…
Today Elf bro is taking me, Leo, and Varvara to complete our first E rank job.
Leo and I had finally gotten the elementary incantation down, and Varvara can cast intermediate fire magic now.
Everyone was surprised at how fast I comprehended the incantation, since normally 10 is the age when kids start comprehending the incantations.
If you counted my mental age I’m 26 years old, so there’s that.
Varvara is just a giant ball of genius, her mana pool is limitless, and she’s learning spells from elf bro like they’re nothing.
Even though Varvara is intermediate rank, the Sis and Bros wanted her to wait until Leo become elementary ranked so she would have a vanguard and they could finish the quest on their own.
But I also level uped quickly so we’re all going to try to get E rank together.
Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.
The job is to kill 2 Kobold leaders.
Kobold leaders have a sliver of intelligence, enough to lead a small troop of kobold.
Besides that they have a lot of strength enough to kill an intermediate practitioner in one hit.
But besides that they are that much thicker than a normal person, so an elementary user can kill them.
So the plan is something like Leo and I agro the leader, and Varvara will end it while it isn’t looking.
We just need to be careful not to get hit.
Seems easy enough, but there’s no room for carelessness, else we end up as a kraby patty.
…
So much white.
There’s snow everywhere, the trees are covered in snow, the ground is too, and oh my god where’s Varvara!
Why’d she have to wear white we lost her!
“Elf bro where’s Varvara we lost her!”
“She’s right there.”
He point at something white, and the air fluctuates a bit and I see eyes and some pale skin.
“?”
“Oh hi there, I thought we lost you”
…
We’ve been walking for a while but still no sign of any Kobolds.
It’s been pretty quiet so I guess I’ll have some fun.
“Hey Varvara”
“Yes”
“Let’s hookup”
Elf bro and Leo stop in their tracks.
Varvara just looks at me and replies.
“No”
*Sniff* I turned down instantly.
“Elf bro! I can’t be a husband anymore, my only chance is to be a bride.
Will you take me?”
I looked up at him with upturned puppy dog eyes.
He hits me on the head.
“Stop joking around”
And we continue.
Hmm I guess my brand of humor doesn’t really work here.
Now that I think about it, nobody back on Earth really liked my humor either.
I wonder how charismatic people do it.
And thus we continue walking along.
…
Fuck Fuck fuck Fuck
Got separated from the group, and there’s a fucking Kobold leader staring me down.
Oh fuck where did it all go wrong.
Oh yeah, Varvara was wearing a pendent the one she had since birth.
We found a Kobold leader, we initiated a battle, Varvara started casting magic.
The pendent blew up we got scattered.
I ended up with the kobold leader.
Hope the other guys are safe.
Oh fuck me I’m up shit creek, at least I have a paddle.
I have a sword, and an incantation.
Ok let’s do this shit.
