After i left the building I decide it to explore the town a little bit before I head to the Adventure Guild. Immediatly heading away from the guard office building I find myself in what look like an open marketplace with multiple stalls around, some selling food others jewlery, I even found one selling some kind of weird stone. Walking up to the stall selling the weird stones I am greeted my a friendly looking old man with long white hair and ah beard if I had to say what he looked like imagine Gandalf from LOTOR.
"Welcome young one to may humble Magic Stone stall, I sell a variety of differnent stones from the normal mana stones here." He waves his hand in front of a glowing blue stone. "all the way to the rarest of stone the healing stone." He then points to a white stone inside a glass container.
"Ah um sorry sir im not here to by anything today. I was just wondering if you could answer a few of my questions please?" (Roy)
"Hmm no matter, ask away young one it has been a while since someone has wanted to just talk with me and call me Walker." (Walker)
"Thanks Walker I'm Roy. Could you point me towards the adventure guild please?" (Roy)
"Will do the adventure Guild is just passed the market here its the tall building with the image of of a sword and shield hanging on a sign." (Walker)
"Thank you sir ah I mean Walker." (Roy)
And with that I move on from the market place as I am walking down the street I se a big bulding, honestly I have no idea how i didnt notice this bulding in the first place. as I start to head towards the building I begin to pass more people caring weapons and wearing armor. As I approach the building I see that it has 2 big double doors and a sigh in front with a sword crossing over a shield. Walking up to one of the doors I push on the door opening it, walking in what I see is to my left a bar looking area with a couple of Adventurers drinking and to my right 3 bulletin boards with paper on them and Adventurers looking at them. and in front is a large counter with 5 different small cubical sections and some receptionists standing at the desks. 4 of the 5 receptionists are busy with people so I head to the only empty one which happens to have a beautiful girl with long black hair and hazel eyes.
"Welcome to the Adventures guld, are you here to make a request or take one?" (Receptionist)
"Ah neither I would like to apply to become an Adventuer please." (Roy)
before the the receptionist can reply I hear a loud laugh coming from behind me.
"HAHAHA you think someone like you can become an Adenturer? dont kid yourself kid and go play with all the others outside this is a job for men not children."
I look behind me to find a burly looking man with a scar across his righ eye extending across his nose.
"I wasnt aware there was an age limit I am 16 so I should be old enough to join i believe" I glance at the receptionist and see a small nod from her agreeing with my statement but the burly man doesnt seem to care as he extends his hand and picks me up by my shirt.
"I DONT CARE whether your old enough if i say your not joining then that means you. are. not. joining."
man this guy is pissing me off just who does he think he is? so I decided to appraise him to find out.
Name: Thomas Age: 39 Job: Adventurer Race: Human Level: 40 Condition: Healthy HP: 2000 MP: 500
SKILLS: Sword Mastery Lv: 5 Physical Enhancemet Lv: 8 Shield Mastery Lv: 3
well I see why he is confident in being able to do whatever he wants, but now is the best time to test my ability skill thief. I try to concentrait on the sword mastery skill and I immediatly get a headache and I ceck my status to see if it worked.
SKILLS: Sword Mastery Lv: 1
When I notice it worked I begin to laugh silently inside my head but quickly begin to take his other skills before i forget too and with a quick head ache iv gained the Physical Enhancement skill.
SKILLS: Sword Master Lv: 1 Physical Enhancement Lv: 1
"Thomas might I ask what you are doing to a citizen inside the guild hall?" (receptionist)
"Citizen HA he's trying to become an adventurer so you cant interfere with what im doing." (Thomas) He says tossing me across the room and hitting the wall with a loud *BANG* sinking into the wall slightly. the sound of me entering the wall causes everyone in the guild to turn and see what was going on.
As I limply pull myself out of the wall I see the receptionist run up one of the floors really quickly. While I was watching her run Thamas walks up to me picking me up again by my shirt and then he swing his right arm punching me in the stomach a couple of times before tossing me back on the ground, he then begins to kick me while im down and stepping on my head.

"Hey hey uno if you give me all of your money I may stop beating you and who know I might even let you live."
as he is doing this the receptionist comes back with a large man with golden blonde hair seeing the scene before him he gets utterly pissed and screams at the top of his lungs.
"THAMAS WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO A CITIZEN??"
"hmm oh guild master im just teaching this whelp what is needed to become an adventurer hahahahaha" (thomas)
"Thomas that is not your job to do and from what I here from Natasha here she says he is the proper age to join the guild so what you are doing is just beating up someone weaker than you for no reason, now get out of here or I will have you removed Thomas."
"TCH fine." He walks away but not before stepping on my hand as he leaves.
"Can someone heal him and bring him to m office please." The guild master says while rubbing his eyes and walking up the stairs.
once a warm light washes over I feel all the pain go away the bruises dissapear like nothing happened. When I look up I see Natasha staring at me worried.
"You ok? I can heal most wounds except for broken bones so If you have any youll need to go to someone who specializes in healing magic. When your able to stand Ill guide you to the guild masters office he said he wanted to speak with you." (Natasha)
"Urgh yea im ok thanks for healing me. he do this to everyone he just meets or did i just catch him on the wrong day?" I say as I begin stand up again
"ha ha no its a pretty normal occurance fo him but he normally stops at yelling, going as far as he did will probably get his guild card revoked and he'll be banned from any and all adventure guilds."
Finally standing Natasha leads me to the guild masters office and with a quick knock we were told to come in.
"Good I see you were healed, take a seat and we can proceed with your administration into the guild, if you still wish to join that is."
"No I still wish to join I will need to find a way to make an earning and even if its dangerous at least its a life of adventure."
"Good than please sign your name, age, and skills on this document here and if you cant read or write then Natasha here will do it for you."
the Guild Master says as her pulls a slip of paper and hands it too me, as I look through the document i find that i can suprisingly read the strange lettering on the document. After puting my name age and skilled on the document I hand it back to the guild master. looking through the document he reaches into his desk and takes out a copper plaque and hands it to me.
"prick your finger and place it onto the plaque afer a brief flash the plaque will display your name age and skills on there."
After he finishes he hands me a small needle, and after pricking my thumb and pressing it to the plaque it starts to show my name age and the skills I know.
"UM what if I gain new skills? will in automatically update to show them?"
"gaining new skills is incredimbly hard to do so we didnt bother to put a function like that on the plaque but if you do gained more and wish for them to be displayed then just come to the guild and speak with one of the receptionists. Normally we would charge you to join the guild but seeing as we caused you some trouble we will just wave that off. Well I am busy so finish the rest up with Natasha back at the recepton desk."
Heading back to the reception desk with Natasha she begins to explain the rules and stuff to me and ranks. According to her ranks start at G and go up from ther to F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS. You can only take quest from your rank or 1 rank above and to advance a rank i have to do 10 quests from each rank and 1 quest from above the rank.
"And wit that should be everything Roy if you would like to take a request then you can go to the bulletin boards over there." she points to the boards I saw when I first walked in. With a nod I begin to walk over to the boards to see what quests I can take and thats when i see that the boards are split into ranks the board to the left has quests fro G to E the board in the middle from D to B and the board to the right from A to SS.
Looking at the left most board I decide to pick the easiest quest for now before doing anything else.
Deliver Supplies to Toms' Bakery
My staff is sick today and I need someone to deliver some good to Toms' bakery
Quest Rank: G
Reward Upon Completion: 15 copper
Picking the quest and heading back to Natasha.
"I wish to take this quest please."
"Supply delivery confirmed. take this sheet and upon completion get is sighned to cofirm that the task has been completed."
"yesss." taking the sheet that needs to be signed I ask Natahsa to explain the currency system for me, she gives me a strange look but tell me anyway.
50 copper = 1 silver
100 silver = 1 gold
1000 gold = 1 white gold
and leaving the guild I emediatly head to the supply shop to get the needed supplies. entering into the supply shop I am immediatly greeted.
"Welcome to Kimberly's supply shop how may I help you today."
"Ah yes im here on a quest to deliver something to the Toms' Bakery"
"Oh good I'm Kimberly I made the quest just earleer today, follow me to the back and Ill show you what needs to be taken."
Follow the Kimberly to te back and she shows me to a medium sized crate filled with different good going from fruits, wheat, all the way too some pots and pans.
"Here it is just take it to Tom's down the street, normally I would have asked my assistent but he was sick today so he couldnt do it so thanks ou saved me from closing shop for a while."
"No problem ma'am im just doing as requested well then ill get this over there quickly and ill be back in no time at all haha."
Picking up the crate I headed out the door again and head to Tom's backery which really wasnt as far as I thought it would be seeing as I got their after 10 minuetes of walking.
"helllo is Tom here??? I have some supplies from Kimberlys for you." I called out into the bakery which waas suprising void of life."
"Yess just bring it straight to the back and be o our way im in the middle of cookng lunch right now."
"okayyy" Carrying the crate to the back I place it near the door before exiting the building and heading back to kimberlys.
"Kimberly im back from dilivering the supplies like you ask and I need you to sign this paper saying its been complete."
"alright thanks again" she sing the paper really quickly and I head back to the guild hall to recieve payment.
"Natasha I have completed the quest and am here to recieve my first payment as an Adventurer" I say handng the signed paper to Natasha
"Oh that was quick, well I have recieved it and here is your payment. if you wish to take another quest you can."
"no thats fine for now but do you know where I can find a cheap in around ths time its starting to get dark out?"
"if you would like the guild provides rooms for Adventurers for 10 copper a night but we dont provide any food."
"hmmm fine lets do that then." I take 10 copper and give it to Natasha she shows me to my room and heads back. I walk inside the room and see its a small clean room with some hay on the ground with a blanket of the hay.
"I guess this is all 10 copper with get me huh haha wasnt expextng much but isnt this a little be to well little." I omplain to myself as I lay down on the blanketed hay and fall straight to sleep.
and with that my time as an adventurer finally began.
