“Welcome to Ebony town” said Ashley
I gape at awe with how the town looks. Only one word can describe the town, lively. The town streets are full of merchant trying to sell their stuff. There are also children playing around with happy look on their faces. People are chatting left and right. There are many groups of people similar to Timber Tusk. I’m guessing that they are also adventurer. Timber Tusk is the name of Greg adventurer group by the way.
The town buildings are all medieval style. The town layout is also designed to repel invader. There is only one entrance to enter the town. There’s also an escape route behind the government center. The houses are arranged like a spiral to cause invader to wrap around so the defender can directly strike at them. Of course the invader can also destroy the houses that are blocking them, that is if they are willing to be hit straight from the government center. Government center serves also as where the army is staying. I only found out later that this Ebony town serves as a border between the human kingdom and demon continent.
I also see many different kind of humanoid being. Long and pointy ears people, I’m guessing that it is an elves. Short humanoid being that is dwarf and some people with animal ears and tail. I also find out that slavery is banned in this world. The only part of the world that allowed slavery is the demon continent.
After I had enough sightseeing, the group and I walked towards the adventurer guild. I’m surprised that they allowed me to sightsee. The adventurer guild is located near the entrance of the town. The group figures it would be best for me to register as an adventurer as being a member can grant access to many beneficial things and adventurer guild can protect me seeing as I’m still at level 1.
As we enter the building, we are greeted by a very beautiful lady
“Welcome to the Ebony branch adventurer guild. How may I help you all?” says the beautiful lady with a smile on her face. This beautiful lady has pink hair and blue eyes. And man oh man, her rack are huge. She appears to be an elf too
“Hello Freya. I have someone who wishes to join the guild” says Ashley
“Oh it’s you lot. So is it this young man?” says Freya while pointing her finger towards me
“Hi, my name is Simon and I would like to register as an adventurer” I says with a smile
“Oh my… What a handsome young man. Sure you can, just touch this stone and this will tell us about your status” says Freya
Handsome? I don’t recall being handsome in my whole life. Maybe my appearance changed when I get here. But wait a minute…. My race is Vitalex and not human, does that mean that my appearance is the same as my character from The World? That explains it. My height was changed, my hands were bigger and my legs were longer.
I touched the stone and there’s a strange light envelope me. Than out of nowhere, the stone turns into a plate.
“This is your ID card. It will only display name, gender, race, levels and adventurer grade” says Freya while handing me my ID card. “Do note that if an ID card is lost, you can only go to the same adventurer branch in which you register to get your new ID” added Freya

“Unknown? How can it be unknown? Even if a demon is impersonating a human it will still show demons, so how can it be unknown?” says Freya with her mouth wide open
“Simon, what are you?” says Lulu
“I…uh… I don’t know” I said hoping to fool them
“How about this, let’s ask the guild master about this matter” suggest Greg
“That’s a great idea, but unfortunately, the guild master is out right now. How about you all come back tomorrow?” says Freya
“Okay” said Ashley
We then rest at nearby inn for tomorrow. At that time, Lulu just kept on questioning me for what I am. I told her that I don’t know but she just kept pestering me like a child to her mother.
Tomorrow came and we went to the adventurer guild once again. Once there, we were greeted by an old man who looks like he is in his 70.
“So this is the oddity huh?” says the old man
“Yes he is sir” says Freya
“Hmmm…. Welcome to the adventurer guild odd one” says the old man with a grin
“Hello” I replied
“Well, let’s get you to the training room. Would you mind coming alone?” says the old man
“Sure no problem” I said
“Are you crazy? Ebony town’s adventurer guild master are famous for his craziness. What if something happened to you?” says Lulu worried. Lulu has gotten pretty close to me this past few days so it's natural if she is worried about me. I'm grateful though
“Tsk….tsk….tsk…. Little girl, who said I’m crazy?” the old man frowned
“I’m sorry guild master. This humble man subordinate cannot control herself” says Greg
“Fine…. You come on” says the old man demanding
“OK”
