After wandering through town aimlessly, we stopped at the adventurers guild.

"Interested in becoming a hero Thane?" Gregory asked.

I looked at him and chuckled.

"The god of death becoming a hero pfff..."

Gregory opened the door and guided me in and then pointed at a nearby table,

"Wait here for me and don't go starting a fight on me okay?"

Confused I looked up at him "Where are you going?"

He smiled "I'm going to hand in my report on you we wouldn't want the guild coming after you right?"

I nodded and watched him leave.

Soon young man joined me at the table" Hi there are you alone?"

I looked at him"Well you're sitting here right? But no I'm not here out of my own account, my 'friend' went to meet the guild-head."

He opened his eyes wide in surprise. "The guild-head huh?" he muttered to himself.

"Uhm anyway I'm Killian, my party and I were looking for 1 or 2 extra teammates..."

I continued staring.

 " Thane I'm back" Gregory suddenly called out of nowhere.

"Oh who might this person be?" I glanced at Gregory who was hugging me from behind." His name is Killian he wants us to join his party..."

Gregory sat down beside me and put on a serious face. "And for what purpose?"

Killian answered just as serious"To find stuff and places before everyone else especially the the current end boss Thanatos, now that I think about it I guess I approached you because you remind me of him Thane..."

I looked him eyes wide open in surprise.

 ' Damn he's sharp...'

Gregory came closer to my ear and whispered. "That might be an advantage for us... if they succeed..."

Gregory put on his fake smile again and looked at Killian "Sounds like fun count us in."

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Killian's eyes widened and he smiled "Really that's great come let me introduce you to the rest..."

We followed Killian to the outskirts of the city and entered an abandoned looking cabin 3 people where sitting at the big table in the middle of the cabin a big though looking guy with short blonde hair. Next to him 2 girls; a wood elf and a dark elf hybrid by the look of it.

Surprisingly the cabin looked pretty good on the inside.

As we came closer the blonde guy look surprised" Whoa he really does look a lot like Azura's prince." I glanced at him a bit irritated.

'What's with these people???'

All 3 of them stood up. Killian turned to the 3 " These are our new members." he said while waving his hands in our direction.

There was a short silence which Gregory broke " I guess I'll start with introducing myself I am Gregory and I'm one of the court's mages Mr. Poker-face over here is called Thane don't worry he doesn't bite *Glaring at Gregory* ...Well unless you piss him off of course. Please take care of us"

He said with fake smile.

Killian followed suit: "I'm Killian I have the Hero profession and I specialize in one-handed swords"

Blonde dude was next." I'm Keath and I have the Guardian profession I use the shield and spear.

The wood elf was spacing out in my direction Killian quickly noticed " Psst Ellis it's your turn" She snapped out of it."... oh sorry I'm Ellis and I'm a healer type mage I can handle the mace as well."

The dark elf glanced at me and briefly smiled and went back to poker-facing "I'm Netch... I'm a rogue..." ' What class am I anyway hmm I can't go and say God of death right?'

I cleared my throat

"I'm a Necromancer."

'Close enough...' I thought shrugging.
