The next morning i woke up early since i wanted to register in the adventurer's guild. I took a bath and ate the breakfast at the inn and headed to the adventurer's guild.
The adventurer's guild was one of the largest building in the city, It was to be expected since it contains a huge training hall for its member's training and also provides cheap lodging and food to its members. And one more pros of being a member was that the adventurer's are given top priority if they were to apply to become a Knight of the kingdom.
Since being a Knight offers many more privileges many use the adventurer's position to step into the knight's position.Who would blame them because the job of a adventurer is more risky and you wouldn't get a single penny if you couldn't complete a quest where as the Knight's position pays a fixed monthly income regardless of the work done.
Feeling sad for the adventurer's who couldn't make the cut, I entered the adventurer's guild.As i opened the door i felt that all eyes were on me.Is there something on my face or what?Ignoring the probing eyes i made my way to the reception.The reception was a young girl who was the same age as me.With a light simile, I said
" I need to register in the guild"
She handed me a pen and paper to write out my name, signature and few other details.When i finished writing i handed the pen and paper back.She looked satisfied and handed me a small plate similar to my school id card.
Name: Robert
Age: 16
Adventurer rank: E
At the back of the plate there was the official seal of the adventurer's guild.With this i will be officially recognised as an adventurer in all kingdoms.Then the receptionist, Alice started explaining about the rank system.It was simple actually.The guild classified the adventurer into 6 rank namely S,A,B,C,D and E with E being the lowest while S being the highest.
Every adventurer start out as an E rank.Then they are gradually upgrade to higher levels according to the number and the difficulty of the quests.And one good thing was that other than a few quests which specifically needs higher level adventurer's the rest of the quest could be tried by any adventurer irrespective of their levels.
I took a good look at the quests and found out that many of the quests were monster subjugation.Another thing puzzled me as i saw that the i didn't encounter many monsters mentioned in these quest during my journey.When i asked the reason to the receptionist.She mentioned that the forest through which i came was much safer than the forest around the border.
I was slightly surprised by the revelation since i thought that other forests would also contain similar monsters that i encountered.You could even say i was relieved as i was going to gain a different battle experience.Then i exchanged the remaining mana stones i had in my backpack for 30 silvers.With that i exited the guild.
After this trip i suddenly realised that i was seriously lacking in the knowledge regarding this world.To rectify that i entered into a library to increase my knowledge of all the important things about this world.
Firstly i thought of increasing my knowledge about magic, I know next to nothing about magic other than how to use the basic spells.As i was reading through the books i learned that the magic mainly had five major elements.They are
1.Fire.
2.Water.
3.Ice.
4.Earth.
5.Space.
So no matter how complex the spell, all of them make use of these basic attributes.This was the only piece of information that was useful to me.As most books rather than explaining the working of the different spells they just had the names of the spells along with a simple explanation.
Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
And most of the magic books stated that the gods blessed all the races of this world with magical talent by creating Mana.And it seems Mana is present everywhere in this world even inside people and animals.So i guessed thats why i could use magic even though i am not native to this world.
As i confirmed earlier an amount of Mana is present in me while I checked my stats window, Now i am sure that the Mana inside me helped interact with the element present in this world and thus creating magic.How do i say this.... Its like Mana is similar to a Catalyst as magic occurs only when mana is present.
And i guessed that most probably the mana inside me will be triggered if i used my imagination along with concentration or the when i recall the feelings i had when i performed or experienced magic.Got to do some experiments.... i thought to myself but only after i increased my amount of mana.Since i found that over exhausting mana could be deathly..
Then i tried to learn the some facts about this world, I came across something interesting as it seems that still a large part of the world was undiscovered by any races be it the humans or devils . I made a mental checklist to explored those unexplored places thinking how cool it would be if i had a whole island just for me
With that thinking i came out of the library and walked towards a supply shop to purchase the necessary supplies required for my quest.Since i heard that the monsters are stronger in these part of the forest, i thought rather than blindly going in and risking my life, why not go fully prepared? .
Therefore I bought 5 HP potions for my health
HP Potion
Replenishes 100 HP
Five bottles of MP potions
MP Potion
Replenishes 100 MP
And finally a bottle of Antidote for poison.
Poison Antidote
Cures Poison
These potiona and the antidote amounted to a total of 10 silvers.Even though I still wanted to buy some equipments to improve my defence and attack, I decided to buy them later since i was low in money.With this I exited the shop and walked to the gate.
In the gate i saw the guard and introduced myself again.Since we didn't exchange names even though we talked for a while.
"Hello there"
"hmm... You are the adventurer that i saw yesterday.How did it go did you register in the guild?"
"Ah yes... Just now i registered" as i said i showed him my adventurer plate.
"So your name is Robert huh.... Good Luck with your adventure Robert, By the way my name is Ryan"
"Thanks Ryan, Then will see you later"
Saying that i walked out of the city into the forest to perform my first quest.
