A woman watching the Snow pilling up outside the window, she frown her almond-shaped eyes “Are you sure we should really do this?”
The headmaster put away his book, lifted his head to look at her “It’s already happen, too late for regret now, we already summon him to this world.”
“Did you forget the Catastrophe that happen 1000 years ago?” She resolutely said
“Of course not, how could I .. we are race different from the others and what left of it. It’s only you and me who survive the Catastrophe 1000 years ago, that’s why .. I’m sure you know what to do right... Axelle?”
----------------------------------------
I tap the small Icon floating on the lower left of my vision with [Menu] written on it and display the current time. It’s 2 am now.
“We only do it for 3 hours and now she’s already lost consciousness.” I sigh with light smile on my face.
It was quite dark, only the moonlight that coming in from the window act as lighting. I put the blue blanket that has a red stain along the surface to cover Kana up to her neck.
I put on my clothes, dress myself and leave the room down the stairs. I stroll through the street, occasionally there are some couple walking together. I look at the two moon in the sky and said “It’s used to be only one moon in the sky, I've been looking everywhere since then. Now that there are two moon in the sky, but still I haven't found happiness.”
“To begin with, what is happiness?” I muttered to myself.
I made my way to the Adventure Guild, I have been here earlier this noon, but because I just wake up from my nap I didn’t see it clearly.
From the outside it looks impressive, it’s two story building but look tall as if it’s consist of 3 floors with many rounded windows on the brick wall. it’s already past midnight but it’s still open. I think it’s open 24 hours. I open the door handle with my left hand.
I was surprised when I come inside. It was rather crowded, I can’t imagine what it looked like in daytime. Sturdy guys in leather clothes can bee seen in various tables, chatting among their party.
Some of them in the counter speaking with the woman behind it. I go to the counter that had a sign “register application” written on it.
I became the center of attention as soon as I arrive at the counter because I was dressed in Arachnid Academy cloak.
Naturally, there’s no mage that would register to become an adventurer, since they always stuck at the academy most of the time.
“Can I help you?” ask a woman behind the counter with a business face.
“ Can I see the quest list?”
“Are you an adventurer?”
“No”
“Then you have to register first.”
“There’s no need.”
“Excuse me..” she looked troubled by my weird answer.
“I just want to see the quest, why do I have to become an adventurer?” I crack a smile.

“I-I see, you can head to the bulletin board in the second floor, there are various quest posted on it.”
I walk up to the second floor and stop myself in the front of a big board 2 meters wide. Many scrap of paper stuck there with quest written on it.
“I just don’t understand these people. Why did I have to become an adventurer? They are basically following people order just like servant. I’ll find a thief hideout related quest, I’m sure there are many valuables inside their hideout while at the same time raising my level.” I'm searching the quest, and immeadiately find a jackpot.
Kill those filthy bandits who dare to disrupt Kingshill City trade by attacking many merchant that come to this city. They seems to have grown in strength lately thanks to some weapons they raid from the nearby villages. Locate their hideout and kill every bandits inside.
“So in the end I have to search the hideout myself...”
Suddenly the storm raged envelop the Kingshill City. It’s become more ferociously as the night went on, I shivered. The adventurer voices were drowned by the rolls of thunder that started past the midnight. I heard something creak outside. I hoped the roof wasn't going to fall in, despite how sturdy the adventure guild looks.
Crunch!
“What was that funny crunching noise? was the wall crumbling?” I ponder...
Boom !!
The whole Guild shaking and I take out my wand from my cloak, staring at the door. Someone was outside, I know it.
Boom !!
“It’s happen again” I grip my wand harder.
There was a crash ouside the Guild and the adventurer came skidding into the Guild enterance, majority of them is only C rank, one B rank can be seen among them. He was holding a greatsword in his hands.
"Who's there?" he shouted. "I warn you, we armed!"
There was a pause. Then..
Smash!
Boom !!
The door was hit with such force that crash landed flat on the floor. A creature was standing in the now crushed doorway. it has four arms and two legs, with a long, thick tail. it has three eyes, one of them in the forehead. loud warcry can be heard from the creature and two of them appear behind it.
I looked towards the one in the middle, and the two behind it then grimly smiled “They appear to be annoyed, but looks can be deceiving.”
"They looks strong, too bad I can’t check other people level."
They have horns covering their face. Their skin is covered in black scales. The creatures squeezed their way into the Guild, He/she bent down, picked up the door and throw it to the B rank adventurer, sent him flying along with his greatsword. He let out a howl, and started spurting blood from his mouth.
“So fast! I can only see a blur. they are high level monster, no doubt about it.” my gaze turned cold.
The noise of the storm outside dropped a little. The creatures turned to look at the remaining adventurer.
