Chapter 1, Meeting with the Adventurer

=============================================================

Do you want a second change at life

Y/N

=============================================================

What is this? So I get another chance at life? If so then please enlighten me.

“Yes” I shouted. Then my vision went blank.

“Huh… Where is this?” I open my eyes and look towards my surrounding. “It appears I’m in some kind of plains”

I rise up then I begin to examine my body. It seems I grow a few cm long. My body feels weird. I cannot walk properly, and my balance is a mess. I look at my hands and feet. It appears it grow bigger a bit. I wear plain clothes and plain pants. I also wear some kind of medieval leather shoes. “So, I get a different body then” I quickly connect the dots. From the looks of my surrounding, this isn’t earth. Earth, in this day of age doesn’t have this kind of scenery anywhere. I then begin to look for sign of life. Luckily, there’s a forest nearby.

“Wow…. This forest is beautiful. And the air…. Wow just wow” Simon mumbled while travestying through the forest.

“Roaaaaaar” a majestic roar can be heard deep within the forest

‘What was that? Some kind of beast? Let’s check it out’ Simon, hearing the roar quickly ran to the direction of the roar.

“Quickly back up. Archer fire” said man who looked like someone in the mid-thirties.  

He seems to be the leader. He led a party of 5. There are 2 women and 3 men including himself. One woman is wearing some kind of leather armor. She wields a bow. She has long blonde hair, green eyes. She is about 160 cm and had curve all in the right place, on top of that she is pretty.  The other woman is wearing some kind of robe, like a mage robe in many video games. She has short blue hair and blue eyes. She looks like a teenager and she is about 140 cm tall.

The 3 men wear various kind of armor. The man in the mid-thirties wears heavy armor. He had a sword and shield. He looks sturdy as hell. The other 2 man have the same face. They appear to be twins. But one of them had scar on his cheeks. They have red hair and golden eyes. They wear similar armor, which is leather armor. They both had swords on each hand.

The beast they are fighting with look like some kind of lion, but with red fur and 2 tails. It is very big and very tall beast.

“Roaaar” after a barrage of arrow by the blonde hair woman, the beast seems weaken.

“All of you attack now” shouted the man in heavy armor. They then begin their all-out attack. The attack begin with the man in heavy armor. He slammed his shield on the beast head. Then the twins begin slashing at the beast body. The archer woman shoots the beast body multiple times.

“It is ready, retreat” said the mage woman. Then a massive ice shard appears on top of the woman head and quickly stroke the beast.

“Roaaaar” the beast let out its final roar before dying. I was on the side gaping at awe seeing such battle seems to trigger something within me. I step back a bit and I accidentally step on a branch.

*Kreek*

“Who’s there?” shouted the archer woman while pointing her bow at me.

“Easy there tiger” I said while walking towards the group

“Who are you?” asked one of the twins. “I don’t know. I don’t remember. All I could say is that my name is Simon and that’s it” I said. I thought that by playing stranger who don’t remember who he was is the best move right now. “Sounds suspicious, what should we do captain?” said the other twins. “Bring him with us. Judging by his tethered clothes and he has no weapon he should pose no danger to us”

Meand the group traveled together. But before that, the group skinned that lion-like beast. They said that the lion-like beast skin are a precious material needed for their quest. From what I gather, they are adventurer. I also learn their names. The captain’s name is Greg. He is a B rank adventurer. The twins name is Leon and Kennedy. They are both C rank adventurer. The blonde woman is Ashley. She is 22 years old and she is a C rank adventurer also. The blue haired woman is Lulu. She is 16 years old and she is a D rank adventurer. Apparently, Lulu just graduated from Royal Magic Academy and become an adventurer. A genius would fit her as normally people would only graduate from Royal Magic Academy at the age of 18-20.

They also told me that this forest is famous for adventurer looking to hunt monster. The monster here is high leveled and is good for progression.

“High leveled? Level?” I was so surprised that I let my voice out loud.

“Yes level. Why? You don’t have one?” asked Lulu

“I don’t know. I don’t remember” I said with a dumb look on my face

“Just say status and it would show you your level and attributes. By the way, I’m level 50” said Lulu with a proud look in her eyes. “Ashley here is level 46, Leon and Kennedy here is level 44 and 45 and the captain is level 63” added Lulu.

“Huh let’s see… Status”

“So, what level are you?” asked Lulu

“Uh…. I’m still level 1…” I said feeling a little bit sad

“Level 1!!!!” said the group at the same time. Apparently, they are shocked that I’m still level 1

“Uh… Is that a problem?”

“Yes it is. This forest is usually for people above level 40. You being here at level 1 are surprising. Tell me, how did you got here exactly?” Added Ashley

“I… I don’t know. I don’t remember” I lied again

“Sigh… Fine… Let’s get you to the Adventurer guild at Ebony town”

“Ebony town?” I asked

“The town outside the forest. Maybe there you will remember something” added Leon

“Ohh”

We walked for about 15 minutes before we reach something that can only be seen in medieval age. A stone wall about 15 meters tall can be seen. There are guard tower at the stone wall and a queue of people trying to get pass the stone wall. Then I hear Ashley said “Welcome to Ebony town”
