The Ticking of the clock(act 1) Chapter 1 the first quest

"Well here's your beginner supplies, It comes with a book about all the monsters and plants you can find in this area and what they can be used for and a bag of 10 silver. It also comes with a tier 5 copper rank weapon of your choice, so Steel what weapon would you like?" after Steel was registered to the adventurers guild Steel went straight to the supply-hub at the guild to get Steel beginner gear

"My Class suggests a two handed weapon so my first weapon for now will be a berserker axe" Steel right now doesn't really have a preference for a weapon but Steel has used a axe before when Steel used to chop lumber

"Oh a good choice" the lady at the reception desk handed Steel's berserker axe. Steel then leaves the the supply-hub to make Steel's way to the quest board to get his first quest

Getting back to the tavern like main building Steel saw the quest board on the wall right next to the receptionists Steel first met after making Steel's way their Steel started to check the board for any that are on Steel's same ranking and after a little looking Steel was able to find one

Quest: Slime clean up

Requirements:(0/5 slimes killed)(0/1 slime cores collected)

Reward:10 copper coins, 1 status point, and any extra cores collected

Accept/Denied

(to accept please make your way to a guild officer to approve your quest paper)

"I would like to accept this quest" Steel handed over the quest paper to the same receptionist who registered Steel. The receptionist quickly checked the quest then she stamped it and then told Steel 'good luck'

Exiting the adventurers guild Steel started to walk towards the north gate but made a quick detour as Steel saw a shop Steel needed to go too

Srcappit's amazing robotics shop

Once Steel was In the shop he was met by the rat-like face of a ratkin this one was a female and the owner of the shop "ah a Steam-Unit want brings you to my shop? Need a refill, do you need a new part, or are here to see little old me? Hehe I'm joking it is good to see you again 375D how have you been"

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Yes it is good to see you too Ms Ratnip and I have been well but that isn't why I'm here" Srcappit was one of Steel's first employers and ever since then they have been in contact with each other "the reason I'm here is because I awakened my Class and as you have predicted I have a combat class"

"Yes I was correct! What did you get 375D please do tell?"

"First by guild regulations I am now named Steel and the class I have awakened is Berserker"

"Hehehe yes that makes so much sense you were always so much more emotional then the other Steam-Unit's and Steel huh? Yay that sounds right but let's get back to why you are here why don't we Mmm?" the ratkin had her distinctive wicked grin on her rat face

"I would like to replace my tier 4 copper rank steam furnace with a tier 3 copper rank magitech steam furnace, my tier 5 copper rank bronze plating with a teir 3 copper rank dusk bronze plating, and also a oil change would do well" most of Steel machinery weren't made for the stress filled job of adventuring so Steel needed to replace some parts

"Coming right up" Scrappit already knew all of Steel's layout so it only took her about ten minutes to finish the parts I asked and changing my oil "that will be 5 silver and 40 coppers please"

After that made his way out of Scrappit's shop and continued Steel's journey to the north gate and once there Steel has show the guards the adventurers token and a five minute run and Steel was at the lake and as the quest was talking about there was a lot of slimes

Walking towards one of the slimes Steel pulled out the berserker axe and slapped the slime with the flat side of the axe flattening it in one hit causing the slimes core to pop out of it killing the slime

Exp: 0/10 > 1/10

Achievement completed: first blood

Description: kill your first living being

reward: 1 status point

Steel already knew about some of the achievement Steel could get so Steel wasn't very surprised with this one. Steel didn't use the status point yet because Steel wanted to bank it for later use

It only took Steel about five minutes to kill all the slimes needed for the quest and had more then enough cores so Steel started to walk back into Beaverton and Steel B- lined for the adventurers guild

Once Steel was inside the adventurers guild Steel went straight to the nice but nervous receptionist lady to confirm the complete of the quest

"Congratulations on completing your first quest adventurer the system should now be giving you your rewards" just as the receptionist said the reward was given to Steel

"Thank you for the help and praise ma'am but I was created to get a job done" after that Steel went to the quest board to find the next quest Steel can do before the first day ends
