Arjuna continued on each day gathering herbs, whenever he spotted a monster suited for him he would grab it immediately and kill it. Arjuna would have fallen behind his twin if it weren't for the fact that he could now get experience points from gathering herbs thanks to his herb gathering skill that reached level 4.

Arjuna had already gotten a nickname after being in the adventures guild for a few days, it was simple but just the feat of getting nickname was impressive for any newbie. His nickname was Herb Harvester but many people in the guild appreciated him since he supplied the ingredients for an important potion and also took on a quest many people in the guild didn't like doing.

Arjuna with his trained eyes was able to spot herbs from far away after he separated with his twin he had trained his eyes to see farther and clearer, an essential skill for an archer like him.

Every day he would go out and gather herbs coming back with full stock. Arjuna never stopped gathering until he had a full inventory, after all, it would be stupid to waste the time of walking to the city and back. He needed everything to be as efficient as possible.

But in order to do that he would spend the majority of his day gathering herbs. When he returned he had to be careful for and robbers since he had to go back on the same path. He actually did get robbed once. A large brawny man ran up to him once and grabbed the giant bag of herbs in his hands. It really didn't matter to Arjuna since he had a lot more in his inventory, but a large number of people chased after the man and returned the herbs back to him while "punishing" the man.

Perseus was actually steadily getting EXP from gathering herbs and had even leveled up 4 times in the past 4 days. To other players that was an insane speed and that was just from gathering herbs. If Arjuna started to hunt seriously with the goal of only leveling up like Jason his speed would exponentially increase. But his level was only a bit behind Perseus currently. He had about 9 gold and was still far away from the goal of 50 gold but he was slowly but surely getting there.

Arjuna didn't know it, but he was adored by many in the streets of the city of Dawn, every day he would consistently walk back into the city covered in dirt with sweat-soaked clothes carrying a large bundle of herbs. He was hard working and with his looks and attraction aura, it only made Arjuna more popular. Many people started to wonder what his background was, Maybe he was taking care of his sick mother or a disowned heir from a noble family that was working to regain his status back.

Whatever it was, Arjuna's popularity especially in the women's circle was only growing. Arjuna had no clue about any of this, his attraction aura did increase a level and a few other of his skills but otherwise, he was just gathering herbs and occasionally killing monsters.

Sometimes he would get sad that he wasn't doing anything big like Perseus, and was only gathering herbs, but Boops kept on reassuring him along with Jason, making sure that he knew that they were fine with whatever he did. Both Boops and Jason could check Arjuna's reputation status and they both knew how popular he was in the city.

Arjuna went on his usual routine sometimes talking to some random acquaintances he met. But this time he went straight into the adventures guild where a robed person was waiting for the unsuspecting Arjuna.

Arjuna didn't think that the robed man had any business with him and went straight to the counter and started turning in his herbs at the special place that the guild had prepared for him, because of the large amounts he gave each time.

The robed person called out to him

"Person with the black hair at the counter"

Arjuna turned to him "yes?"

Arjuna could see the NPC's name, it was Cadmus Nycodus and it was colored in bright green. He had an intense gaze and a magnificent white beard, he walked and carried himself like a wise man. And now Cadmus's gaze was directed toward Arjuna

"You, how would you like to be an alchemist apprentice?"

[Cadmus Nycodus is offering you a job]

[will you accept?]

[yes/no]

Arjuna didn't even need to think, this was a good opportunity for him to step into the world, he didn't know why he was offered the job but was extremely thankful for the offer anyway.

"yes I would love to be one"

"great, when you gather herbs, bring them to the alchemist guild their I will give you your job details"

[you have accepted Cadmus Nycodus's job offer]

[you have gained the class (dawn alchemist apprentice)

[you have gained the skills: mixing, alchemy, and dawn alchemy]

[You have received the benefits of being a (dawn alchemist apprentice)]

[+10% chance to make a successful potion +20% chance in a battle to use potions to full potential, you will have an easier time finding herbs]

Arjuna was happy, but the adventures guild was not. They had just lost a stable source of herbs right in front of their eyes. Both of the guilds thought that Arjuna was an innocent kid and wouldn't not like any bad stuff like bribing, so they would have to fight for him in the background enticing him with benefits. The adventures guild started to scheme.

Arjuna was happy with anything at least he was getting closer to helping his master and brother, to him that was all that mattered.

Well, it was about time to log out, his master had school the next day, even though Jason was going to drop out soon he needed to go there to do it and communicate with his classmates.

Arjuna didn't know that he would be the center of a guild battle in the city of Dawn at level 19 but Boops and Jason rejoiced at the unexpected turn of events.
