A small group of adventurers were traveling through a dirt road, leisurely joking and swinging around their weapons, they just took off from green town where they took a Trent extermination mission. They were heading towards blue cloud village, a village only six miles away from morningdew village, the reported Trent apparently took over the nearby forest and even clogged up the nearby river with it’s roots. They were confident in their red haired fire mage Aster, therefore they just strolled leisurely and made jokes on how easy the mission was going to be.
In the distance they heard a loud rumbling, a dirt cloud was rapidly heading towards them, when they looked they were immensely impressed at the beings speed, He was actually outrunning the very dust cloud his feet were causing and leaving an after image behind.
The figure quickly passed them, but for a split second it looked at them. They were not able to see it themselves, however they clearly understood it as they felt a mountainous pressure suppressing their mana pools.

Back to Uriel…
I was rapidly running to green town, I came across a group of traveling adventurers walking along a small caravan. One of them had red hair, for a second I stared at him remembering the red haired kid from earlier in the morning.
I ignored them afterward and kept on running towards green town which soon came into vision. A small city wall composed of thick wood pillars and sturdy wood rods came into view, small smoke trails floated to the sky from many locations, this city clearly has a lot of activity going on.
I started leisurely strolling around, listening to various gossips about the heroes, some nobles, and other weird things people usually ramble on about. The main road was several meters across and was not crowded, The stone road clearly had a sewer underneath, It appeared to be airtight which was good to avoid any bad smells.
Many makeshift stalls surrounded the street, some selling food, materials and even tools. The further I went towards the center of the town the more professional shops began to appear, there were about three blacksmiths here in the city based on the smoke trails I saw one emitting. The population of the town should be around six thousand at most (not counting travellers or adventurers).
A tall three story building came into my view, It was around the corner of the town’s major road. It was tall and sturdy looking, tall thick columnar tree trunks provided a sturdy support for the building, they seemed to be reinforced with magic runes as well.
walking towards the large red canteen like door, above it a sign read: Adventurers Guild, I walked in and saw various round wooden tables. Many adventurers were casually eating their meals and drinking beverages such as beer, juice and … milk.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
A little girl with pink hair was drinking milk.
This world really has some colorful hairs.
She turned towards me and saw me staring at her. Her face looked at me weirdly, she first scanned my bald head as expected.
Annoyed I walked away and headed towards the register. A what you call it? Pretty woman with hazel eyes/hair and a cutsy pony tail was filling out some paperwork.
Rohesia- “hello, my name is Rohesia how may I help you today?” She says all this while appraising my wardrobe, which by the way is just casual looking villager clothing.
Rohesia- “No way!, you actually turned precious dragon skin into this horrible clothing!”
Uriel- “yes” I said it with an expressionless face. I mean it’s just skin, why should She care what I did with it”
Rohesia- “do you… happen to have any more left”
Uriel- “no” I lie
Rohesia- With a let down expression “ What… can I help you with today”
What a quick change of attitude.
Uriel- “I’m here to sign up as an adventurer”
Rohesia- “ok… fill up this sheet, we will have you undergo several test in the testing room.”
She hands me over a yellow sheet with information asking for my name, race, address if any, blood type which I don’t know, age, and special skills/traits.
I left most things blank as i'm not sure I have any. She gives me a weird look but takes it in the end.
Rohesia- “ok now I need a bit of your blood to land on this page” She hands me a small blade.
Uriel- “...”
The little girl with pink hair walked up
Pink hair- “ha are you afraid of cutting your finger! I easily did that just so you know, cause i'm tough!” She lifts up her hand in a cute pose.
Uriel- “…”
I run the blade across my finger, the blade shatters without leaving behind any blood, or even a scratch.
Rohesia- “...”
Pink Hair- ”...”/
Uriel- “can I try with something sharper”
The adventurers nearby stare at the event with curiosity
A black haired adventurer walks up to the registrar.
“Hey let me help you out, use this knife it’s made with 60% mithril it should do the trick. If it doesn't I will give you the knife as a gift.” He tells me in full confidence.
Picking up the knife I forcefully run it across my skin, like the previous blade it shattered.
Knife Guy- “...”
Rohesia- “Let’s just skip this part, I’ll let you off and make your adventurer card based on a hair strand……”
Rohesia- “...”
Uriel- “...”
Pink hair- “...”
Knife guy- “...”
Rohesia- “saliva will do…”
After dripping a drop of saliva on the piece of paper, she takes it into the room. After a short moment she comes out with a metallic bronze card.
Rohesia- “here this is your card, you can use it to get discounts based on rank, use it as identification across the continent to freely enter cities and dungeons”
She gives me the card with all the information from the paper I filled.
Rohesia- “well let’s measure your strength and skills in an hour, you may leave and come back later or stay here and hang out or something”
I took her advice and went towards an empty round table.
