“Are you Maron?” asked the centaur startling the both of them.

“Uhm, Yeah, Can I help you?” said Maron wondering what the centaur wants from him.

“My name is Lakian, I heard you were Level 10” said the centaur, Maron was shocked how fast the gossip was, looks like everyone in the kingdom knows that Maron is Level 10.

“I don’t know, am I level 10?” Maron said to Wuglat feigning ignorance.

“Don’t worry, I’m not here to make some trouble for you, I just want to tell you that we’re raiding a dungeon tomorrow morning, and it would be a lot of help if you join us” Lakian said, which made Wuglat’s eyes wide, he was waiting for Maron to agree.

“If I can bring him along, I'll for sure join you.” Maron said while pointing at Wuglat, Lakian took a long look at Wuglat and said “Okay” and immediately walked away, after seeing Lakian exit the door, Wuglat became restless.

“That was Lakian, that was Lakian, and he invited you to raid a dungeon” said wuglat repeating himself, feeling exhilarated, that made Maron thought ‘this guy’s really 15’, because of the way he’s acting now.

“Calm down, calm down.” said Maron as he made him drink juice.

“Who’s that Lakian anyway?” Maron asked

“Lakian The Stomper, he’s a member of ‘The Peculiars’, I heard he got his title because he stomped an ogre to death” Wuglat said.

“‘The Peculiars’? What’s that?” Maron asked.

“It’s a party of people with titles, their members are Typha ‘The Druid’ a beastkin, and Aja ‘The Siren’, a naga” Wuglat said.

“What about their skills? What can they do?” Maron asked.

“No one knows about their skills, they’re secretive type of people, all I know is that they’re strong and they raid dungeons with just the three of them” Wuglat explained.

“Well, we raided a goblin’s lair with just the two of us” Maron said.

“Are you kidding, that’s waaay different from a dungeon, dungeon’s have stronger monsters you know” said Wuglat.

“Why did they suddenly invite me? You think they know I'm not from here?” Maron asked wondering why they invited him.

“I don’t know, maybe?” Wuglat said.

“I’m not feeling good about this” Maron said after taking a bite from his chicken while looking at window.

“You know what, I want a title too, I'll call myself Maron ‘The Handsome’” Maron said out of the blue.

“Hahaha, are you crazy? You can’t make your own title, the people have to give it to you” Wuglat said making fun of him.

“Well, you can start calling me Maron ‘The Handsome’ then” retorted Maron.

The two of them continued their meal, after eating they both decided to call it a day and take a rest for the day, afterwards the two of them walked back to their own rooms.

Maron after entering his room jumped straight to the bed, after that he stayed dazed, not thinking about anything, just feeling the room, sniffing the smell of wood, staring at the ceiling, observing all the nooks and crannies of the room, afterwards his eyelids slowly closed and started to doze off. It has been a long day for Maron, he only came here two days ago, but it felt like he’d already been here for far longer, he was still missing his home a little, however he was starting to like it here, even though he’d only been here for a few days, Maron was starting to forget earth a little each day.

Maron woken up by a warm feeling on his face, when he opened his eyes, it was already morning, he’d been asleep for the day, he propped himself up and stood beside his bed, afterwards he raised his arms and stretched his whole body, his groans could be heard all over the room, after that he went to the bathroom, washed his face, and changed his clothes to a new one, before leaving his room he took out a stone in his pocket and grasped it, what he saw made a his mouth curve upwards, afterwards he left the room and went downstairs, wherein he saw Wuglat at a table waving at him.

“Good Morning Wuglat” Maron greeted as he took a sit opposite of Wuglat.

“Morning, where have you been? I didn’t hear you leave your room last night” Wuglat greeted and asked right after.

“I’ve been asleep, in fact I just woke up, I didn’t even eat dinner, I’m starving now” answered Maron.

“You’ve been asleep for the day? That’s not normal” said Wuglat.

“Yeah, I know, maybe I was just stressed” replied Maron, afterwards Aunt Snak showed up beside them and gave them a bowl of porridge.

“Here’s your breakfast adventurers, I heard you raided a goblin’s lair with just you two” Aunt Snak said after putting down the bowls, she pinched Wuglat’s cheeks “Look at my little nephew, now all grown up, raiding a goblin’s lair, your parents would be so proud of you”

“Stop it, Aunt, you’re embarrassing me” said Wuglat trying to get Aunt Snak’s hands off him.

The scene that’s happening in front of Maron made him cringe, it looks like an old woman pampering a middle-aged man, he couldn’t help but chuckle, after a little while Aunt Snak stopped and took care of other customers, and they started eating the porridge.

“So, what’s the plan today?” asked Wuglat.

“Let’s join with the Peculiar’s raid after breakfast” responded Maron, and they focused back on eating the porridge, after finishing the meal, the two went back to their rooms and got their equipment, Wuglat is now wearing his platemail with an ax strapped on his waist, while Maron was wearing the clothes he used for his date with Dianne.

“Are you wearing that?” asked Wuglat with disbelief.

“Yeah, why?” responded Maron.

“We’re raiding a dungeon” sneered Wuglat.

“So what? Besides this is the only clothes I have” Maron retorted, afterwards they waved their goodbye to Aunt Snak, and went to the gate, outside the gate they saw Lakian waiting with his full armor and a big axe, when Lakian saw the two of them, he couldn’t help but frown.
