《I'm reincarnated as the last god?!》 (Prologue) The end of the era of gods The era of gods _________________________ Roar! Rubble flew everywhere as space itself begin to split apart. The world of Eceth was in ruins. Everything was seemingly about to fall apart into a million pieces. There was an extremely huge snake that coiled around the world of Eceth. It had spikes sharp enough to impale the world and black scales covered with a layer of abysmal darkness. Presenting itself as a being not to be reckoned with, but at this time it''s blazing eye glared sharply at a humanoid figure that was like an ant comparable to its size. If one were to look closer, they would see that the humanoid figure was tattered with broken armour while holding a majestic sword that would outshine the sun. He faces a huge snake with countless deep dark wounds like a soldier returning from a ruthless war. Status -------- Name: Calamity God Serpent Title: King of GodsYou might be reading a stolen copy.

Do you know what you have done?! How dare you to be so impudent as to kill your own kind?! Seramendoza: We gods have lived to long! It is time for a new era. An era without us gods overseeing and controlling the world! Calamity God serpent: You! Seramendoza: A new era shall begin. An era of unknown. An era of exploration. Our long-lasting era shall be vanished into the river of time. The humanoid figure, Seramendoza , pierce the cold hard ground with his [(Godly)Holy sword]. A large magic formation made of profound and ancient symbols swallowed the entire world as it begins to glow dazzlingly. Calamity God serpent: Have you gone insane?! Do you want to render everything ,including you, into nothingness? Seramendoza: Oh, Calamity God serpent, it seems you don''t understand the meaning of my words. As I said, a new era is about to begin, it meant that everything in this era shall be destroyed and turned into mere ashes. Erasing all the creation from this era and start a new one from scratch and that includes me as well as you. (Seramendoza shook his head and sigh as he stated to the Calamity God serpent.) Goodbye old friend... Bam! A deafening sound blasted across the entire world as it shook violently... Not a single speck of dust remains... End Chapter 1: The awakening The awakening ______________________ The world of Eceth started to spin as it created beautiful life forms and lush green hill to recreate the world of Eceth like its once was. A cycle that endlessly repeats itself. A cycle that would always happen no matter what. The only difference is that every time the world of Eceth repeats its own recreation, like a programmed machine, the geography and types of life forms would be different. This time a mutation happened in the system on the recreation of the world of Eceth. A small and insignificant magic formation appeared along with the creation of the content. This small and insignificant magic formation was not small in reality, because this magic formation has a span of 100 miles, but it was nothing compared to the creation of the 9 continents. Rumble... A lofty and imposing circular tower was shot out through the magic formation as it pierces the sky. Nobody knew where it went or where it would land. On the same circular tower, a portal appeared on the peak floor of the circular tower. A silhouette was thrown out of the portal as it tumbles onto the floor. The portal closes. The tower begins to shine. [Recognizing owner of the tower... Emyrs will be set as new owner of the tower... Activating lighting system... Activating self defence mechanism... initiate landing... land at random location...] Boom! A circular tower flew down from the sky like lightning as it imbedded itself into the ground. This tower would later be known as the Heros tower as it will be used as a trial of strength and wisdoms for humans from the world of Eceth and heroes from another world. ___________________ Love this novel?

(A moment of silence) I wonder if I would be able to look at my own status? A status screen pops up in front of Emyrs Status ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Name: Emyrs Title: [The last true God] Race: God(True) Level: Max Health: (infinite) Mana: (infinite) Attack: 9,999,999,999 (broke the limit) M.Attack: 9,999,999,999 (broke the limit) Defence: 9,999,999,999 (broke the limit) M.Defence: 9,999,999,999 (broke the limit) Agility: 9,999,999,999 (broke the limit) Luck: 9,999,999,999 (broke the limit) Equipment [none] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Emyrs: (lifts his dropped jaw)Wow, this cheat is more broken than I thought. Doesnt that mean that I am the God of this world? Emyrs then spends the rest of the day investigating and exploring the uses of the tower. He found out that the abilitys that the tower has, he could use it without activating the tower itself. Basically, both the tower and Emyrs are connected. He also found out that the tower will maintain itself just fine without needing his help. At the end of the day Emyrs used [(legendary) creation] to fill up the room with elegant decorations and comfortable bedding. The next day, Emyrs woke up and set himself the goal to explore the world that he is in, the world of Eceth. He used [(SR)radar] and made a rough map of the world of Eceth and use [creation] to create a scythe called ((Godly)Eternal darkness) and some common clothing. He then proceeded to store them in [(legendary) spatial storage]. Holding his map, he embarked on an journey like a traveller to enjoy the world in front of him End Chapter 2: Effects of broken stats Using [(legendary) Teleportation] to arrive at the ground floor of the magic tower, Emyrs walked out of the magic tower. He then sauntered to the nearest village on the map, which is about 4 miles away from the magic tower, only to met a bunch of annoying lvl 1 goblins and lvl 2 goblin warriors not even a tenth of the way.

Well, it''s a goblin after all... A flick of a finger should be able to finish it right? A flick of a finger... Boom! Emyrs: (Looks at the 6 mile wide crater with a twisted smile) I guess I need to work on the control of my power. I wonder will it be the same if I ran? Well, gotta try if you don''t know right? Maybe not here.... Oh yeah, The villagers! Opps... (In a praying pose) I''m sorry villagers of "that" village! Emyrs then swiftly used [teleportantion] to transfer back to the highest floor, where Emyrs made it into his personal floor, of the magic tower. ________________________ Magic tower, floor 10,000th A well build young man with short white hair suddenly appeared out of thin air, that person was Emyrs. Emyrs: (let out a sigh) Ok, first I would need to be able to control my strength and speed before I commence to any adventuring. Lest I will be killing anymore innocent people. Either way, I''ll need to test my speed first to know my base line and limit. Emyrs inhale and exhale deeply before getting into a ready position of a sprinter and... Splat! With Emyrs face and body glued to the wall of the magic tower, 5 miles from his starting position(the entire radius of the magic tower), Emyrs moved his feeble body out of the wall in a sluggish fashion. Emyrs: (lets out a dry laught, seems to have gone crazy) It is a good that the wall of the magic tower is unbreakable and that I can''t be killed. Ha... For the next few days, Emyrs began to train hard day till night everyday with meals and rest in between in order to control the output of his broken stats. After all, getting your body constantly slammed into the same cold hard wall was mentally straining. ------------ On the other hand, the Roukar kingdom''s army, which rules the Ancient City and Chetvert continent are now on high alert due to a recent news they got. "The village of kin, near the hero''s tower(Emyrs''s Magic tower) was destroyed and a large impact crater was found near the hero''s tower, a potential powerful threat may be coming." end Chapter 3: Fredrick, the old trickster After a few days of training, Emyrs finally got used to his strength and speed. Now he is capable of controlling it like drinking water. He then sets off his journey once again. This time he changed his journey to a medium sized town near the hero''s tower. He spent his lime leisurely walking and resting when he needs. 3 days gone by in a blink of an eye, of course he still had a pretty long way to go before reaching the town but at this day, an old man with a small carriage stopped beside him. This wasn''t his first time meeting a stranger, after all people in this world that he had met are all relatively kind; thus, they are easy to get along with and have some chats, leaning a few things here and there. However, this old man clearly caught his attention.

Emyrs: A Trickster? Interesting... (shook his head) It has nothing to do with me as long as he doesn''t annoy me. Fredrick(the old man):Hey there, I see that you are going to the same direction as where I''m heading. Do you want a ride? It free you know?(shakes his hand suspiciously) Ah, don''t get the wrong idea. I''m just trying to get someone to talk with you know? It''s just boring to travel alone all the time at this old age, having someone to talk too while doing a kind deed makes me happy. Hehe... Emyrs: (lets out a wide big smile) Sure why not, I could use some company. Fredrick: (with a sudden chill gone down his back, steps a foot backwards, before shaking his head) Come on in and let''s have a nice chat! Emyrs and Fredrick went and sat on the driver seat carriage side by side. Fredrick: (acting like an old friend) So, where ya heading at? It should be the medium sized town, called "Ares" right? Emyrs: (nodded) Yeah. Fredrick: Alright, off to "Ares" then! By the way, I haven''t heard your name yet. I''m Fredrick. Emyrs: It''s Emyrs. Fredrick: Oh, Emyrs, what a nice name! You''re not an adventure, are you? Ever planning on joining the adventure''s guild? I heard most youngsters like you and even old men like me joins the guild to make a quick buck by subduing some monsters. Well, it''s too bad my old bone won''t be able to handle all those rough movements or else I would be rocking in there right at this moment. I guess it''s too late to regret not joining the guild when I was young (Laughs at that moment). Emyrs: (chuckles) I guess I should try joining. Fredrick: Yeah you should, I heard they have different ranks from the lowers of G all the way to A and finally S. I also heard that if you are a or higher B rank adventure you are counted as a noble in all the human continents. I also heard... Fredrick kept on blabbering while Emyrs listens to get some points of how this wold works. Being strong doesn''t make you smart alright. As time passed quickly without knowing, they suddenly halted in the middle of the forest. A G rank forest. Fredrick: Emyrs, we''re here. Emyrs: Here? Fredrick: (lets out a disturbing grin)Young man, you know the one thing that people like you should be wary about are not the monsters in the forest, but people like us. Emyrs: (acting dumb, because it is amusing) Us? Is there anyone else than you here? Fredrick: Are you acting dumb or are you an idiot? (6 more men walked out with a blade on their hands and slowly surrounds Emyrs) We are here to abduct you and sell you off to a slave trader! (Lets out a big laughter) Emyrs: (a sudden switch of expression) You and your disturbing laughter is truly annoying... Well, I suppose you won''t be able to laugh again after this end. Fredrick: Ha?! Look who''s talking big now? An unarmed and clearly unskilled person like you dares to talk big? Once I capture you and beat you up like a dog and then we will see who''s talking big then! (Lets out another disturbing laughter) Fellow men, get him! (Charges at Emyrs with a silver dagger pulled out from his pocket) The 6 men followed him afterwards. Emyrs on the other hand, slowly reached his hand into a sudden formed a space crack ([spatial storage]) and pulled out a black scythe that looks like it has been stained by darkness for countless year, a space crack ([spatial storage]). It was the weapon that Emyrs made before he left his journey called [eternal darkness] and at that moment time seems to have slowed down. Before Fredrick and his fellow abductors could react... Crack! A full swinging motion from the scythe broke the space apart and cleanly sliced through Fredrick and his fellow abductors neck. The next moment, Fredrick along with his fellow abductors halted their moment and... Splash. Their heads came off like butter on a hot knife and fell to the ground along with their bodies. The cleanly cut neck finally oozed out like a fountain, staining the leafy green grass bloody red. Emyrs: (looking at the bodies) At least I got some crucial information from that old man. Now then, I think I saw something on my map just now. (Using [(legendary)map]) Well, this map is way better than [(SR)scan]. Well, the list of spells from my arsenal (magic tower) is way more than I can ever count... Huh? There seems to have some signals of living people indicating from the [map] in the place marked as "bandit hideout" from the [map]. Guess I''ll go ahead and checked it out. Emyrs then head towards the "bandit hideout"...

There were obviously more bandits left and there are 6 of them in this cave, but they are only lvl 7 and one lvl 6. Emyrs: Ill have to clean them out before taking their treasures. Do I lack treasures?(asked himself) No, of course I dont. The only reason is because it is fun plundering treasures. Its a type of amusement that I dont get to do when I was back at earth. (Getting annoyed while thinking about earth) Stupid earth and its stupid laws. I lost everything because those stupid laws that are meant to protect us but fail to do their job! (Building up rage)(Shakes his head) The past has now been the past, only by let go off the past will one succeed in the future. Voice A: Did you hear someone shouting? Or am I hallucinating? Voice B: No, I heard that too. Lets check it out to be sure. It is probably an unlucky lost passer-by or else why would they be shouting? Voice A: True, that make sense. Emyrs: Opps... Got to make it quick. Emyrs takes out [eternal darkness] and walks step by step on the shallow crystal-clear water into the cave. The rushing bandits are all in shocked as they could suddenly feel that their lives are hanging by a thread and in fear none of them could move their trembling legs and ocean like wet pants. This is one of Emyrs aura skill, [(SSR) intimidation), a skill that makes a weaker opponent than you felt weak and fear, the greater the difference the more fear the opponent felt. Seconds passed, Emyrs has finally arrived at the closest bandit. He swings a full arc with his [eternal darkness] leaving behind a perfect silver arc that made it look like a crescent moon. The bandit was split in half and leaving behind a small puddle of blood. The death of their companion made the other bandits wet their pants even more. From a puddle of liquid to a river of brown liquid, clearly not just urine anymore. Emyrs then moved on to his next target. Killing them one by one... huh? There should be 6 of them. The lvl 7 has all been eradicated by Emyrs all there is left is the weakest lvl 6 bandit. Emyrs: You can run but you cant hide. Emyrs walks towards the only basement of the bandit hideout and slice the door in half, reveal the content inside. A small cute fox girl, about 15 years old, with long silky golden hair and cotton fluffy long ears sitting with on a soft wool made mat, completely hands free(not bound to ropes or anything).)Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. At this sudden, cute and innocent little girl all He could do was stare... Stare... Stare... Stare... Emyrs: (covering his eyes) Ah! I give up! I give up! Don''t give me those innocent eyes anymore! I can''t handle it! (Having deep and hard breaths) Alright! Let''s get you out of here first, then we will decide. Emyrs the grabbed her thin and fragile looking hands and used [teleportation] to arrive back at the highest floor of the "hero''s tower(magic tower)". Emyrs let go of her hand and their eyes locked on each other again and... Stare... Stare... Stare... Emyrs: Ah!!! Oh god, please help me! Why? Why do such innocent eyes exist?!

They chated and chated, without realizing, they had started to open up to each other and formed a close bond... Suddenly, Emyrs thought of an idea. Emyrs:Hey Alice, do you want me to bring you back to the "beast kingdom"? I mean, it is much safer there than being in this continent; after all, discrimination of other races is a common occurrence no matter where they are...(looks into the far distance, probably thinking about "Earth") Alice: (eyes sparkling like pure diamond) Can I really return? Emyrs: (tried to dig out his eyes)(sighs and returns to a loving smile) I could instantly teleport to anywhere I want, thus traveling won''t be a problem.

End Chapter 5: Unexpected occurrence Present day ___________ Both Emyrs and Alice woke up at the same time due to Emyrs sneeze. They both started their day by using [everyday magic(everyone has it)] on each other, and with laughs resounded the entire floor, Emyrs thought about going back to explore this majestic world. Standing on the freshly made platform on the 10,000th floor of the "hero''s tower", breathing in fresh air and gazing at the distant horizon... Emyrs: (doing a warm up stretch) The view of this world is always amazing no matter how many times you look at it, it will always be amazing. Alice: (also doing a warm up stretch) I agree~ Emyrs: (Points at the direction of "Ares") Today we shall head to the medium-sized town of "Ares"! But before that that you would need to get stronger! (said energetically) Alice: How do I get stronger? Emyrs: To change your stats to get strong- (realizes the depressing times he himself had gone through of slamming into walls... He had no choice, since his stats couldn''t be changed with [(Godly) customize status) Never mind, back to the drawing board. (Thinking...) Then I''ll just make an equipment! But one that is convenient and compact... A ring! Convenient to carry and is compact. Perfect, just what I needed. Emyrs used [(legendary)cassiterite](a type of black crystal) along with [(SSSR)zeolite](a type of white crystal) to create a ring, he then places a piece of gemstone that is a combination of [(legendary) Mana fluctuation crystal] and [(Godly) elemental crystal] on the top of the ring.

Her face was so red like a heated metal. Mass amount of steam created from her blush filled the air, if it wasn''t for the fact that the floor to have such enormous open area, it would have already creating a sauna.

Emyrs: That- I don''t know. When I woke up, I was already in this world. Alice: (thinking...)(a blub shines on top of her head) Then that means you were summoned when you were asleep! Emyrs: Don''t just create a random plot of how I came here!!! End Chapter 6: The Adventurers guild Main gates of "Ares" ___________________ After 8 days traveling by a carriage... Emyrs and Alice was sitting on a carriage side to side, slowly driving toward the main gates of "Ares". Gate guard: Please show your identification card or get a temporary identification card and pay a fee of 6 copper coin. Emyrs: 2 temporary enters. (Gave 12 copper coin) Gate guard: (grabed the coins and took out a fist size crystal ball) Touch this for identification. Emyrs and Alice touched the ball. The ball shines brightly, before dimming down again. A status screen could be seen. Status ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Name: Emyrs Race: human Time left: 3 days Status ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Name: Alice Race: beastmen Time left: 3 days Gate guard: (gave a reminder) You can go to the adventure''s guild or the mayor''s building to create a identification card but remember, if you don''t sign out or get an identification card within the next 3 days we will have the authority to mark you guys as as criminals. (Moves his spear away with an indication to go in.)(shouts) Next! Their carriage slowly move inside "Ares". In "Ares" one would be able to see a bustling crowd with all kinds of people from different races (except demons). Some yelling. Some shouting. Some begging. You would be able to see all kinds of store stuffing the streets and people bargaining infront of the stores. It was truly truly lively. The majority of these people are made up of young man and women around the age of 25 wearing light armor with all kinds of weapons like a spear, sword, halberd, shield or magic "sticks". They, clearly seen as adventures, made up of mostly humans and beastmen. Ocasionally, one would see young men and women with sharp and pointy ears with a wooden bow behind their back, they are of course the Elves.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. Emyrs and Alice arrived at the "adventure''s guild". After parking their carriage beside the "adveture''s guild", they proceeded to walk in. Opening the door of the "adventure''s guild", one would see men and women from all ages, majority mid-thirties, sitting down, drinking beer and having a chat. In this lively area, laughter and yells are a common occurrence. "Have you heard the news about the mass crater that appeared suddenly and destroyed the village of kin?" "Yeah, I heard that the Roukar kingdom sent out 10,000 soldiers to inspect the crater" "I heard that too, rumors has it that it was created by the angered gods." (Nope, just a god that didn''t know how to control his power) "No, the rumors said it was created by a meteor..." Ignoring those conversation. Emyrs, who was pulling Alice''s hand, walked towards the reception area. A gorgeous looking women with a long raven black hair in her early twenties greets them. Ana(receptionist): (politely) I am Ana, the receptionist of this "adventure''s guild". How may I help you? Emyrs: We would like to sign up to be an adventurer. (Same as having an identification card) Ana: (eying on Alice, politely) I''m sorry, but the minimum age to sign up as an adventurer is 13. Emyrs: (noticing the gaze) She is 15. Ana: (shocked) huh? Emyrs: (replied firmly) She is 15 years old. Ana: (inspected Alice''s 140cm short figure) But- Emyrs: You could check it if you don''t trust me. Ana pulled out a bowling sized deep sea blue crystal ball. Ana: (back to being polite) If that''s the case, please touch the "ball of identification" to confirm your identity. Emyrs nodded at Alice, signaling her to advance. Alice walked up and placed her delicate hands on the crystal ball. A status screen appears Status ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Name: Alice Gender: female Age: 15 Race: Beastman Level: 6 (levels are an indicator of your strength) Occupation: [None] Secondary occupation: [None] _________________ Ana: (bow down) I''m very sorry for doubting you.

(Fiddles with the crystal ball) I would like to apologize, it seems like there''s a problematic issue with this "ball of identification". (The issue is right infront of you! XD) It would take sometime to replace it; thus I would appreciate if you were to fill up a form for your adventurer''s card instead. Emyrs: (clearly knowing that he''s the issue) That would be fine too. Emyrs filled the form randomly. This was the result...

Growl~ Alice''s tummy is getting pretty empty. Emyrs: (chuckles) We should probably have some snacks before dinner. Alice nodded with embarrassment. "Selling meat skewer for 3 copper each!" "Selling apples for 4 copper and 50 iron each! Cheap! Cheap!" "Selling fresh baked bread for 80 iron each!" With each store yelling out their prices, Emyrs and Alice arrived at a random food stall. The stall was selling rabbit skewers on par with sticky rice made by a cheerful old man. It was crowded by customers. "Old man give me one serving with extra sauce!"Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. "Old man give me the cheapest deal that you have got!" The old man turned around and noticed them. Cheerful old man: Hey there kids, want to try some of my specialty? Emyrs: What do you have on sale? Cheerful old man: My specialty, called the "sweet sticky skewer". A dish that consist of 2 rabbit skewers laid on top a dome of white sticky rice and topped with a layer of coconut honey glaze. Young lad, this is a must have in "Ares". This small stall has been operating here for generations and has been proven to be a trusted stall. (The coconut was either dropped from dungeons or harvested wild by adventurers) Emyrs: Give me a single serving then. Cheerful old man: (cheerfully) Coming right up! 5 minutes later... Cheerful old man: (handed over the dish that is wrapped inside a huge leave) There you go! That will be 30 copper. (Honey is expensive) Emyrs handed over the coins and head back to the carriage. Alice stared at the wrapped meal on Emyrs handed with dilate puppy eyes. Emyrs only smiled at the sight and proceeded to open the wrapped meal on the carriage. A sweet coconut scent fills the air. Alice: (urging) Hurry~ hurry~ Emyrs: (pulled out 2 pairs of wooden spoon and fork for (spatial storage) and hand one to Alice) Alright, alright, there you go. Emyrs and Alice started to dig in. Both starts with their first bite but ended with polar reactions. Emyrs: (in disgust) How is this even a meal?! It''s more like munching down on coconut candies! On the contrary... Alice: (in bliss) Yum~ yum~ yummy~ Emyrs: (looks at Alice) Is it that good? Even the meat skewer taste sweet and worst of all- it is over cooked! It''s more like biting into rubber... Alice: It''s good~ Very good~ because it''s sweet and sweets are hard to come by! Emyrs: But the meat taste like rubber- Alice: It doesn''t matter because the sweet sauce taste good! (Takes another bite) Emyrs: ... Alice: (tilted her head) Do you not like sweet meals? Emyrs: (retorted) It''s way too sweet! Alice: Are you even human? (He''s not though) Emyrs: (in a surrender pose) I give up! I give up! I give up! The end...! Chapter 7: First quest Moving down the streets, Emyrs and Alice arrived at a tavern called Fearless Cellos tavern. Parking the carriage on the taverns parking area, Emyrs and Alice walked in the tavern. A bulky middle-aged man with scars all around his body came and greet them. Bulky man: (glanced at them) Having a drink or staying here? Emyrs: Staying 3 nights for 2. One room with a single large bed. Bulky man: (took out a key from the key rack behind him) That will be 50 copper per night. As for meals, an additional 20 copper will be needed for each person. Emyrs: (handed over 1 silver 90 copper and grabs the key) 2 meals then. Bulky man: Served now or later? Emyrs: Serve around 8pm and bring it to our room too. Bulky man: (nodded) Alright. By the way your room is at the 3rd floor on the right, room 26. Emyrs and Alice walked up the tavern to the 3rd floor turned right and went into room 26 near the end of the hall way. Afterwards, they had a chat, ate their meals, which was a hearty and well-seasoned portage, and had a rest. The next morning ________________ Emyrs woke up with Alice in his chest. They tidied up their bed and headed to the adventures guild. The adventures guild was surprisingly empty, probably because most adventurers had already gone out for quest, and Ana was already at the reception area, doing her duty as a receptionist. Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. Ana: (politely) I had finished making your adventurers card. Do you want to collect it now? Emyrs: Sure. Ana, takes out 2 iron cards form her desk and passes it to Emyrs and Alice Status ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Name: Alice Gender: female Age: 15 Race: Beast man Level: 6 Occupation: [None] Secondary occupation: [adventurer] _________________ Status ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Name: Emyrs Gender: male Age: 17 Race: Human Level: 23 Occupation: [assassin] Secondary occupation: [adventurer] _________________ Ana: (explained) Everyone will start with G rank. To rank up you would need to complete 10 quest of those one rank or higher than your current rank and you can only sign up as much as 3 quest at one time. As for benefits of a higher rank, G - E rank will have an iron adventurers card with no perks. D - C rank will have a copper adventurers card and will be counted as a veteran, they would be able to go to any human towns or city without needing an entrance fee. B rank will have a silver adventurers card and have the same power as a baron. A rank will have a gold adventurers card and have the same power as a viscount or a count depending on their strength and contribution to the adventures guild. They would also get a 10% discount on all items. As for S rank, they would have a black diamond adventurers card and have the same power as a marquis or a duke, depending on their strength and contribution to the adventures guild. They would also get a special tax-free life. Emyrs: Where do we accept quest? Ana: (pointed at the huge notice board at the left wall of the adventures guild) There just pick any one that is not more than 1 ranks higher than you and bring it here so that I can bind the quest to you. Also, would you like to form a team? You could also recruit other adventurers by placing a recruitment form on the recruitment board at the left side of the adventures guild. Emyrs: Then I would like to form a team with her. (Pointed at Alice) Ana: Alright then, let me register you guys... done. Also, a team would need to complete twice as much to rank up as a team but everyone in your team will follow the team rank as their own rank. After dismantling the team everyone in the team will fall 2 ranks than their team rank and go on their separate ways. Emyrs: (mumbling) Why the late explanation though... Well, whatever. Emyrs and Alice walked towards the quest board. There was a bunch of quest. quest board ________________________________________________________________ F rank- slay 10 goblins. Reward: 20 copper. G rank- pluck 2 bundle of medicine herbs. Reward: 8 copper. E rank- mine 5 stacks of iron. Reward: 2 silver. C rank- pluck a void leaf. Reward: 16 silver.

(Smiled) I guess it wouldnt be a problem for a lvl 23 assassin like you but keep that girl safe. Shes only lvl 6. Emyrs: I will. And if they go to their first quest... End Chapter 8: Goblin King? Goblin mine(near) ___________ Emyrs and Alice arrived near (about 2-3 miles before reaching) the goblin mine. Emyrs used [map] Emyrs: (focusing on the goblin mine in the map) Woah! Thats a lot of monsters. Alice: Hmm? How many~ Emyrs: About 2,000 - 3,000 goblins and a goblin king. Alice: A goblin king?! Th-thats an SSR (high-rank) monster... Emyrs: Dont worry youll be fine, the [vibrant spirit crystal] ring would make you virtually unkillable. Alice: (blushed) ok... They then continued their journey... ___________________________________________ These are the classes for monsters: R (low-rank) monsters SR (mid-rank) monsters SSR (high-rank) monsters SSSR (Boss-rank) monsters Legendary(world-rank / calamity-rank) monsters ___________________________________________ While walking towards the goblin mine, they were ambushed by a bunch of goblins, about 30, 12 Goblin warrior, 8 Goblin swordsman, 4 Goblin magician, 1 Goblin healers and 5 Goblin assassins.

Alice: Alright...(starts chanting) 2 seconds later... A fireball launched out of Alices fingertip. A seemingly plain and simple, low rank fireball... Boom! The moment the fireball contacts the ground, a thundering explosion happened and engulf everything in 80 meters of the point of contact, incinerating everything, only leaving a hellish fire pit. A low rank magic like a fireball shouldnt be able to deal this amount of damage but if one has high M.Attack like the demon race or the elf race, even a simple spell would be able to do a terrifying amount of destruction. Just like how Emyrs innocent light flick would cause a few miles of destruction, because he had brokenly high Attack stats and every increase in stats, even by one point would be able to boast your overall strength. This is also the reason way humans and other races use weapons, not to only increase in strength but to multiply their overall strength. If a fireball shot by a user of 5 M.Attack stats, the fireball could hit a 15 meter target with an area effect of 2 meters, but if a fireball shot by a user of 6 M.Attack stats, the fireball would still hit a 15 meter target with an area effect of 2 meters, but the damage dealt would increase by 20% and the percentage damage increase by one point would be higher as the stats gets higher. (for example, 400 Attack stats to 401 Attack stats would increase the percentage damage dealt by 30% and the effects stack up) Stats are everything in this world but because it is extremely hard to be able to check one stat, unless you are royalty, levels are usually the what determines strength in this world. Increasing in a spells area of effect on the other hand depends on the understanding of that spell, but even then, it is limited to an increase of a few more meters. However, majority of humans and other races didnt know that every hundred points increase in stats would increase the effectiveness of the spell, this is largely due to information control in their own race. The spell itself is also another factor to concern about, the higher the rank of spells the higher the increase in effectiveness of the spell. Back to the story... After butchering all incoming goblins and cutting their ears as proof for their quest, they finally meet the goblin king.

(Thinking...)Maybe they will even let us jump ranks. Alice: Alright~ Emyrs jumped into battle bare handed, in range of the Goblin king, it noticed them. Roar! The Goblin king lets out a fearsome battle cry that made Alice covered her ears. It then lunched at them, flipping up dirt and sharing the land with its humongous size. (12meters, 6 times bigger than the average human) It then started to chant, and turned into a flaming Goblin king, melting the surrounding stones and turned the surrounding land into a barren waste land. The smaller goblins were terified and ran for their life. Pulling out the [demonic great sword] from its back, a great sword about 8-10 meters long, it lit up in a purple demonic flame, a place worse than hell. The Goblin king swings its great sword in full 360 degrees rotation, like a tornado. Charging towards Emyrs at high speed and Slash! The Goblin king is now split into two piles of flesh. Dead. The most boring death of a high raking monster in the history of Eceth... End Chapter 9: Guild master Cutting off both ears of the Goblin king, they head back to "Ares". Adventure''s guild ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Afternoon, the guild was back to its customary liveliness. Adventurers settled down, chugged their ale and started to brag about their dauntless adventure. It was the usual. At this time, the well-kept wooden door swung open. A young man and a sweet fox-ear girl walked in, holding hands. That was obviously Emyrs and Alice. Arriving in front of the reception area, they were met with a loving smile from Anna. Anna: How did it go? Emyrs: Pretty good. Anna: Then could you hand over the proof of the monster parts so that I can administrate the completion of you quest. Emyrs nodded. He then took out a small leather bag that contained 10 pairs of goblin ears and 2 pairs of goblins warriors ears. Anna placed it over a table behind the room of the reception area. She opened it and poured out the content. She then inspected it roughly before heading back to Emrys and handed over 70 copper. Anna: And about the inspection of the goblin mine? Emyrs: There were more than 2 thousand goblins and a goblin king- The lively chatter of the room died down into absolute silence. All eyes turned onto the speaker, Emyrs. Anna: (shocked) A goblin king?! Are you sure it was a goblin king? Emyrs: (nodded truthfully) I am certain that it was goblin king. Anna: (In a daze for a short moment before returning back to reality) Wait for a moment, I''ll go ahead and call the guild master. Anna bolted up the stairs and went into the rightest part room on the 3rd floor of the "Adventure''s guild". Slammed open the study, polished wooden door. A middle-aged man with an ocean blue hair and a pair of dark blue eyes, seemingly untroubled by the world, was sitting on a leathery chair reading a tattered obsolete book. On the front cover off the book was written 7 words, "How To Be The Best Guild Master". Anna uttered everything to the guild master about the sighting of a goblin king from an adventurer. After listening the guild master couldn''t sit still when such a disaster was nearby. He frowned, and his eyes turned serious. Shooting out of his seat, he rushed back to the reception area and dragged Emyrs into his office with a bewildered Alice following closely behind. Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings. The guild master sat down, lets out a sigh before glaring at Emyrs. Guild master: (in a serious tone) Tell me truthfully, was the appearance of a goblin king the truth? You should know that this is not a joking matter. Emyrs: (with a poker face) Yes, I had personally saw it. Guild master: (looking at Emyrs poker face, his eyes twitched for a moment before continuing) Tell me in detail what you saw. Emyrs then started to explain his journey of how he saw the goblin king in detail, of course he was partially economical with the truth, after all Emyrs didn''t want his abilities to be exposed to strangers because he wanted to live an amusing life. A life full of different encounters. A life full of joy and sorrow. Not a life full of lies Being too powerful and too famous would only lead to a life full of lies. A life where your trusted friends and co-workers would act kind to you in the surface, but it is after all just an act, they maybe plotting against you, it was especially true the more powerful and famous you are. Emyrs knew that no matter the world, no matter the place, greed will always be there and where greed is, corruption tends to follow. One day, that greed will fully consume their hearts and betrayal for more power would come. Emyrs had seen many faces in his life. Even if he is still currently young, but as the only child of his father''s big company, his father dragged him around to meet different kinds people and listened to their stories. Furthermore, Emyrs life was like a roller coaster going up and down. He was bullied as a child by his school mate but loved by his father college''s sons and daughters. It was from this that he learnt the horrible truth of human society. As long as you have power and fame, people would put on their mask and starts to act kind and treats you with respect, but in the end, it was just a mask, not their true nature. Who knows what they are thinking? However, Emyrs found out the truth the hard way. At the age of 10, Emyrs had already lost all hope about human society, he began trying to fit in, wearing the same mask that everyone wears, concealing his true feelings. At the age of 13, he began to wonder if there is any meaning to keep on living. A year later, a tragedy struck Emyrs, his parents were executed for committing a heavy crime, but Emyrs knew his parents would never had committed any crime. Thus, he began his search for clues At the age of 17, Emyrs pieced all the clues together, but he couldn''t believe it himself. The clues led to his parents death was caused by his father''s most trusted colleague. His father''s most trusted colleague sold himself to a rival company and betrayed his father''s years of kindness and trusted placed in him. "That" man fabricated a crime for his father in court to remove his father from his position, Emyrs'' father found that and fought back, but it was all for naught... Because the judge was bribed by the same rival company. In the end his father was sentenced to death, even his mother , who was not involved in this at all, was executed. Emyrs still remember the moment when 6 strong men, wearing police uniforms, stormed though their door and dragged his reluctant mother to a large truck with large logo written "police" on it. That moment carved and burned into Emyrs memory for eternity, a scar that would never be able to recover... This was the cold hard truth off human society... There was a wise old saying: "Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed; the only animal that is never satisfied." Getting back to the story... After hearing the story from Emrys, the guild master was certain that it was a goblin king. Guild master: (realized something) But you said that there wasn''t any hobgoblin with it, right? Emyrs nodded. Guild master: (knit his brows) That''s weird... From all the past records goblin kings are usually accompanied by 50 to 300 hobgoblins, thus what you saw was probably something else... Emyrsfirmly) I have proof. Guild master: Really?! Emyrs then took out a small pouch and handed it over to the guild master. The guild master was dazed when he opened it. Guild master: (exclaimed) Impossible - the ears of a goblin king! Even Anna jaws dropped when she heard what the guild master exclaimed. Guild master: Where did you get this from? Emyrs: I killed it. Guild master: You killed it?! Emyrs: Yeah, I killed it along with Alice. (Points to Alice, who was already by his side at this time) Guild master: (speechless) ... Guild master: Even if you say that... it is just impossible for someone on your level to do that... Emyrs: There are always exceptions. (Lets out a seemingly natural smile) Guild master: (even more speechless) ... Emyrs: You could always go ahead and check it if you don''t trust me. Guild master: I trust you. Afterall according to the guilds rules, as long as you bring back the specific parts of the monster as proof, it will be considered as your kill. (This is also why rich family could just buy the specific parts of a monster and bragged about how their children fought that ruthless creature and slayed it.) Thus, your quest would be complete and as for the additional rewards for slaying the goblin king... your team will rank up to rank c, that''s fine right? Emyrs nodded Guild master: Anna, help these adventurers to rank up their adventurer''s card. Anna lifted her dropped jaw before nodding her head and leading Emrys and Alice out. After half an hour later, Anna had finish updating their adventurer''s card. Anna handed over two shinny copper cards to Emrys. Emyrs handed one of them to Alice and both of them said goodbye to Anna and left the "adventure''s guild". Moments after they left the "adventure''s guild", Alice realises something... Alice: (tugs Emyrs'' shirt) Ne~ Ne~ Emyrs, I think they forgot to give us the reward for completing our last quest... End Chapter 10: departure and slimes?! Element falcon grassland - D rank monster grassland ______________________________________ ¡°Element falcon grassland¡±, a D rank monster grassland that got its name from the vast amount of different elemental falcon that presides in that area. Even though it is a D rank grassland, the population of adventurers are almost non-existent. That is because, although the falcon that presides here are not very strong - a single D rank adventure is more than enough to kill a falcon in a 1v1- but the problem lies in that all the falcons here work as one. For example, if you were to attack a single falcon, the rest of the falcons would join in as well. You would be drowned by their sheer number, forcing you to retreat. That is why adventurers rarely come here, especially if they aren¡¯t C rank or above. Furthermore, C rank adventurers and above has many much better places to grind, since parts of falcon aren¡¯t sold for much, which ends up in a situation of high-risk low return. However, if one were to be there right now, they would be shocking to see countless plies of flesh. ¡°O heed my command, answer my prayers the spirit of flames, shift the winds, render the path to ashes - flaming tornado!¡± a cute voice shouted. An enormous tornado started to form out of thin air. The raging tornado swirled straight towards the sea of falcon, engulfed everything like a black hole, nothing left to spare. Alice: (loving smile)That should be able to clean up the rest. (Turning a 360-degree, glancing at the copses) So, what do we do with the corpses? Emyrs: We got what we need in order to finish the last quest, so we should probably clean up the corpses or else... it might cause an uproar. Alice: (nodded truthfully) Um~ Emyrs placed his hand on the sky, with the help of [(SSR) no chant] a huge magic formation suddenly appeared out of thin air floating on the sky. Emyrs: (roared) Era decimation ray! A pure white orb was created by the gathering of energy from the surrounding. The pure white orb abruptly shot out white lasers onto the surrounding creating cosmic explosions and evaporated whatever it touches. Noticing that he had gone a ¡°little¡± overboard, Emyrs used [(legendary) restoration] in order to revert the land back to its original state. Emyrs: (looked over to Alice) Let''s go back now and submit our quest. Alice: Umm~ Back at the ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡±Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website. ____________________________ Emyrs submitted their quest. Anna: Alright, that¡¯s all updated. You guys would be able to rank up to B rank at any time, but according to the guild rules, you must register at the capital¡¯s ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡±. Emyrs: (smiled dryly) Ahhh, I kind of forgotten where the capital is... Anna: (stared at him as if he was an unknown species) I guess people do sometimes forgets things. Just follow north-west road for a few weeks and you should be able to get there. Emyrs and Alice waved a long goodbye before getting on their carriage and off they went to the capital... 2 weeks went by in a flick of an eye... They had gotten more than half way through their journey, and right now they are current waiting on the middle of the road due to ¡°traffic jam¡± - A bunch of slime crossing the road. Bounce~ bounce~ bounce~ Fragile looking blobs of slime hopped across the road in a single file seemingly going to a certain destination, an unknown destination. This single file of slimes stretch as far as the eye could see, all the way down the horizon as if they were the marking of a continental border line. As a good human being like myself. (Stop being so narcissistic¡­) We waited¡­ And waited¡­ And waited¡­ And waited¡­ And waited¡­ Waiting for a never-ending line of slimes to pass through. It was an impossible task. While waiting, we somehow got curious about slimes and where they are headed to, or at least Alice did. Thus, they began to follow the footsteps of the slimes. A few hours later, they finally arrived at their supposed destination - a pool of slime stacked on top of one another on a huge dip on the ground. The slimes jiggled as more slimes started to join in, but the next moment shocked them. The slimes started to meltdown and bubbled up like hot magma. Alice: (drooling) It looks kind of good to soak in it¡­ Emyrs: (facepalmed)¡­ Alice: (pleadingly) Emyrs, can I plunge in it for a few moments, please? Emyrs: (the silence said it all) ¡­ Alice: (her eyes started to turn glassy) Pretty please? Emyrs: (not giving in, firmly) No. Alice: (tears started to tumble down her small, tender cheek as she stared into his eyes) A moment of awkward silence¡­ Emyrs: (giving in) Fine, fine, fine, you can alright? Alice gave him a hug before diving deep into the pool of slime. However, when Alice resurfaced, her clothes started to be dissolved, revealing a tender fawnskin and a rich golden hair, glittering under the warm shimmering of the sun. It was quite erotic- "Ball of Chaotic Disruption!!!" a chaotic ball emerged and with perfect control, surrounded Alice, spewing away all the slimes in the surrounding. Emyrs ran over to Alice, took out some clothes and flung towards Alice. burring Alice in it, creating a small hill full of fresh clothes. Emyrs: (short on breath, mentally) Quickly, wear your clothes. Alice: (nodded hastily, Emyrs turned away) (wore the clothes) Ok, I''m done~ Emyrs: (turned back, in shock) Do you know how to wear clothes?! Alice with her upper body popped out of the mountain of clothes, wearing a ragged pants on her head, covering her eyes. On her upper body wore a shirt upside down and as for the lower half under the mountain of clothes¡­ I don¡¯t want to know anymore¡­ Alice: (reaching hand in front like a Chinese zombie) I can¡¯t see anything¡­ Emyrs: (pulled off her headwear) That is because you wore a pant as your headwear¡­ Alice: Opps~ Hehe¡­ Emyrs: (Using [(Godly)customize status] to equip Alice with the proper clothing) Well, whatever¡­ Let¡¯s go. Alice: (tilted her head) Where? Emyrs: Back to our original destination of course. Alice: Why? Emyrs: Haven¡¯t you played enough yet? Alice: (shook her head in rapid succession) I want to hug those cute slimes. Emyrs: (sighed) alright. Alice: (joyfully) Yay~ Thus, they played around for an entire day before heading back to their main destination¡­ Chapter 11: I have a bad feeling about this! Another 3 weeks gone by in a flash¡­ ________________________ Emyrs and Alice had finally arrived at the capital of Roukar¡¯s kingdom in Chetvert. According to locals, the capital is called ¡°Krando¡±. It has an astounding population of 1.5 million in it, one of the most densely populated places for humans in the world of Eceth. Unlike the town of ¡°Ares¡±, the capital city was much more organized. If one were to describe the town of ¡°Ares¡± as a jumbled maze, the capital would be a massive beehive; although the capital has many ¡°tunnels¡±, they are patrolled by guards 24/7 on every nook and cranny. The guards on duty do their job at a very strict manner like a programmed machine. This meant that the streets would be safe and sound, and theft, scams, bribes, brawls, bullying, and even rude behaviors are not tolerated. However, there¡¯s a catch. The guards themselves accept bribes, abuse their positions and are virtually rude to anyone lower than them. (This is kind of ironic...) Adventure¡¯s guild _______________ Opening the door- Emyrs: Huh? Trying to open- Emyrs: (bewildered) Why won¡¯t the door budge. Is the door locked? Emyrs inspects the door carefully (by the way there was no doorknob or even a HANDLE). If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the guild was located on the main street of the capital, pedestrians would have already though that Emyrs was trying to break in¡­ At that moment, a husky voice came behind Emyrs. ¡°Young man, what are you trying to do?¡± Emyrs turned back, revealing the voice owner, a knight in full metal plated armor. On his left side of his armor was an emblem that had the embedment of a griffin head (symbolic meaning: courage and boldness). Emyrs: (coughed dumbly) Erm¡­ trying to open the door... Knight: (cachinnated) Youngsters these days are truly interesting!This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. Emyrs just stared silently at the knight, while Alice seemed to be more interest in the food than the knight, as she gazed at the far off food stall absent-mindedly. After a peal of long laughter (I would have run miles away from this guy!), the knight was finally satisfied. He looked at Emyrs. Knight: Young man, is this your first time at the capital? Emyrs: (nodded) Um. Knight: Ahh¡­ I apologize for being rude just now. (Seriously? This guy...) Emyrs: (shook his head) No, it¡¯s fine. The knight placed his hands on the mull post and¡­ Wha- THE DOOR SLID OPENS?! (what¡¯s going on in the mind of Emyrs) Knight: (Looking at the gleaming with amazement eyes of Emyrs with a sense of accomplishment, as if he was revealing his grand invention.) Now then, we shouldn¡¯t be blocking the entrance for too long. However, never would the knight know that the amazement in Emyrs eyes was actually filled with sympathy. Emyrs was not amazed at the function of the door, but at how people were able to live so long with such inconvenience without inventing something new. Being brought back to reality by the nudging of Alice, they rushed in hastily. The knight had already sat at a table waiting for them. Knight: I haven¡¯t introduced myself yet haven¡¯t I? (Took off his helmet, unveiling himself as if he was a piece of art. With his shiny bald head and a white, fluffy mustache on display, he made a gentleman¡¯s bow, unfitting for his masculinity.)(We have weird characters guys...) My name is Garen, Garen Vimbert. Emyrs: (Acting calm on the surface, but having a mental breakdown with the absurdity of the man in front of him. He returned a gentleman¡¯s bow.) My name is Emyrs Levas (meaning pure immortal or bright immortal.), you can just call me Emyrs. Alice: (Hiding behind Emyrs, shyly, with a tinge of redness on her cheek) Alice Levas (female beast inherit their husband¡¯s surname) Garen: So, Emyrs and Alice, what brought you guys today to the ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡±? Emyrs: To complete a team rank-up. Garen: Hoh? What rank are you guys? Emyrs: Currently rank C, and we are going to take the trial to officially rank up to rank B. Garen: And, where¡¯s you team? Emyrs: All here. Garen: (confused) Where? Emyrs: (pointed at himself than to Alice) Both of us. Garen: That¡¯s surprising. (stroked his chin) Well, I guess we, the old generation, are truly getting old. We can¡¯t compare to youngsters these days¡­ (staring far away) Emyrs: (understanding, shook his head) No, we¡¯re just a special case. Garen: (sulking) I know you are just trying to make me feel better¡­ Emyrs: (shook his hand, wryly) No, no, I was serious, we were just a bit special. (Looking around at the gazes of other adventurers) If you don¡¯t have any problem we¡¯re gonna get going first- Garen: (In realization) Now that you have reminded me, I was invited to be testing the ability of a well-regarded team newcomer. It was said that the team had been doing exponentially, became qualified to be a B rank adventurer in only more than a week of starting their adventurer career. (Walked off in a leisure manner) See ya later then, youngsters! Emyrs: (mumbling) I didn¡¯t even remind you anything¡­ As for the team¡­. Well, good luck to them for getting such a bizarre old man. Alice: (Felt the ominous presence began to rise, her ears shrunk, she tugged Emyrs¡¯ shirt) Ne~ Emyrs, why do I have a bad feeling about this... End Chapter 12: Trial passed! Walking towards the receptionist area of the ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡±, Anna was already busy with her work as usual¡­ Wait¡­ Anna? Why is she here? Alice: Isn¡¯t that Anna? I thought she was working back in ¡°Ares¡±. Emyrs: (Shook his head) This isn¡¯t the Anna that we knew back in ¡°Ares¡±. She looks more sophisticated, her waist is 3mm thinner, her hair is 2 cm longer, her face is a few micrometres bulkier, her height¡­ Alice: (pouting) Emyrs, you perv- Emyrsnoticing the death stare from the surrounding women)(chuckled) Opps¡­ Continuing from where they left off. Receptionist: Good morning, my name is Eva. How may I help you? Emyrs: We¡¯re here to take the B rank trial. Eva: May I have your Adventurer¡¯s card? Emyrs: Sure. (Handed over 2 copper cards)(gave a smile)You look similar to the receptionist in ¡°Ares¡±. Eva: Ah... you mean Anna right? (Emyrs nodded) She is my younger sister. Emyrs: (blabbed) The clich¨¦ fantasy receptionist? Eva: (puzzled) Pardon me? Emyrs: (realized) Nothing! Anyway, where do we take our trial? Eva: (snapped back) At the underground training station. Also, you can take the trial now. Emyrs walked towards the clearly carved sign shouting, ¡°TRAINING AREA¡±. Downstairs an old man awaits them- A full plated knight, Garen. Emyrs: (Speechless) At this time Garen noticed them. Garen: (surprised) Hey, it¡¯s you fellows again. Emyrs: Oh, how unlucky- I mean lucky meeting you again! Garen: What brings you guys here? (Digging his non-existent hair) Erm¡­ I think it was something about the trials right? Emyrs: Yeah, our B rank trials. Garen: (took out a slip of paper from within his sweaty armor, he read it) Just to make sure, you¡¯re Emyrs right and you''re Alice, right? Emyrs: (nodded) Garen: You guys came from ¡°Ares¡± right? Emyrs: (nodded) The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Garen: And have you guys killed a goblin king in the last few weeks? Emyrs: (nodded) Garen: Found you! Yes, you guys are the one I have been waiting for! Come, follow me. Emyrs & Alice nodded and followed Garen onto an enormous battlefield (Aka: the training ground/area), about the size of a football field), littered with fallen weapons and dried up blood. The battlefield was split into 5 huge parts, blue(water) ,red(fire), green(earth), yellow(wind),each corresponds with their own element. This would give anyone who uses the same element as the area of training ground that they are in an edge over their opponents. Furthermore, there is also a central area, this center area is very special not only because it takes more than ? of the entire training ground, but also because it has parts of every element (not include light and darkness). The ground is grainy, chunky and muddy, while the air is filled with the dry and blazing gale. The most special part about this center area is that it remains like this all year round. At this time, they arrived at the center area of the training ground. They searched for a place that was not already occupied by other high-rank adventurers. Yes, I did say high-rank adventurers. This is because only those who are B rank or above are allowed to enter. When they found one, Garen suddenly took out 4 metallic looking rods and pierce them on the ground, in a 30m by 30m square. Garen: (firmly) Once the trials start you guys would not be able to leave this segregated area or else¡­ YOU FAIL! Then let''s not waste anymore time(unsheathe a rapier from his waist), YOUR TRIAL SHALL COMMENCE! (Charged at them in an agile manner) Status ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Name: Garen Title: [Ex-commander of Roukar¡¯s elite army] Race: human Level: 68 Health: 481 (+65) Mana: 110 Attack: 76 (+89) M.Attack: 47 (+33) Defence: 30 (+37) M.Defence: 32 (+41) Agility: 89 (+165) Luck: 13 (+2) Equipment [(SSR) nimble lightning] [(SR) Blessed trials] ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Emyrs: (telepathically to Alice) Hold back and don¡¯t show your true power. Alice nodded understandingly. Emyrs had told her what to do in situations like this. She prepares, so does Emyrs, with a flip of a hand a rustic looking wooden bow with simple carving appeared on Emyrs¡¯ hand. Garen: (a bit surprise) Hoh? I didn¡¯t expect you to own a spatial bag. Ranks of spatial bags _________________ S rank spatial bag(store up to 125,000 meter cube of items, 50m x 50m x 50m)(The one who have it could be counted by fingers) A rank spatial bag(store up to 8,000 meter cube of items, 20m x 20m x 20m)(The one who have it are only limited to the wealthiest, like high rank nobles and S rank adventurers) B rank spatial bag(store up to 1,000 meter cube of items, 10m x 10m x 10m)(For rich people, like celebrities, nobles, B rank adventurers and above, basically the upper class) C rank spatial bag(store up to 125 meter cube of items, 5m x 5m x 5m)(For the middle class, like wealthy merchants) ______________________________ Emyrs only smiled. He waited for Garen to come closer¡­ and closer¡­ Garen: (roars) triple slash! Garen¡¯s rapier stroked down, his single slash turned into 3 silver arcs, all striking towards a single point. Triple slash is a common swordsman technique, it was supposed to be a three slash follow up. However, with how Garen not only perfected it but also brought it to a whole new level. However, before the triple slash could land on Emyrs. Emyrs leaped into the air, pulled his bow fully, the surroundings fluctuated and they began to gather in the bow, forming a translucent arrow. Emyrs: Triple volley! The arrow was released, flying at rapid speed, aiming to pierce the heart of Garen (and they say learn how to hold back¡­). Garen, as a veteran, reacted instantaneously rolling to the side, but at this moment the arrow split into 3 more arrows, blasting through the air aiming for him. He knew that his only option was to stop or destroy the arrow. Garen: (raises his rapier up high) Chaos tempest! A frenzy of gale swirls around him barricading himself. Screech- Due to the arrow splitting, it splits its power too; thus, making the arrow unable to break the barrier. Emyrs made a stylish flip before land softly on both feet. However, when Emyrs noticed Garen they were only 5m apart( for speedy guys like Garen it only takes half a second to get there). With Garen assaulting at full speed, defeat seem inevitable, yet Garen was too focused on dealing with Emyrs that he had forgotten that Emyrs wasn¡¯t alone- he had a companion, Alice. Alice: ¡°O flame spirits, lend me thy majestic power, the power to dominate, the power to stand at the summit of this land- frenzy flame dragons!¡± A large magic formation appeared, along with 9 dragons (the Chinese dragon by the way). The 9 dragons rampaged towards Garen, incinerated everything in its path, leaving only ashes behind. At this scene, Garen staggered backward, he knew that he had hit a wall. He hastily used his ultimate defensive skill- guardian gate. A gate fell from the sky (there is no sky, let¡¯s just say it¡¯s a sealing) and landed hard, causing the ground to tremble. The gate opened up and illuminated the direction it was facing with blinding light. Rumble- 9 flaming dragons crashed into the gate at the same moment; nonetheless, it was all for naught. The 9 dragons was obliterated into nothingness. The door closes and it starts to fade away¡­ Garen let loose a sigh, no, half of it. At that moment, he felt a cold and heartless dagger rest on his throat, his face pale white, he knew he had lost. Garen: (bursts into laughter) Hahaha- I lost! Never would I ever wake up imagining that I would be defeated by a B rank adventurer- and it¡¯s in a B rank trial to add on top of that! Emyrs: That was only because you weren¡¯t serious at the start, letting your guard down. Garen: (denies) No, a defeat is a defeat. In addition, there is no way a normal B rank adventurer¡¯s team would be able to defeat me. Well, let¡¯s get your adventurer¡¯s card updated and off we go to celebrating! Chapter 13: Recruitment Tavern _____ ¡°Cheers!¡± A cheer between a young man and a bald old man was well, quite weird. Although it doesn¡¯t deny the fact that it is still a celebration. It was obviously Emyrs and Garen who was drinking beer and celebrating after updating their adventurers¡¯ card, by the way Alice was sipping a mug(no glass, just wood) of juice. Garen: So Emyrs, seeing you are new here have you ever heard about the dungeons before? It is a paradise for money-making. However, only high risk comes high return, right? Dungeons are very dangerous because monsters are crammed into a small floor, that is why you need to be careful not to be cornered or else (pause, does a slicing motion on his neck) your dead- Emyrs: (smiled) I¡¯m interested in it. Garen: HAHA, everyone is interested in it, it¡¯s good source money after all. Emyrs: (leaned closer) Tell me more about it. Garen: (explained) You see, dungeons are really special¡­ It¡¯s going to be a long one¡­(Author: !!! NANI?!!) Garen started to explain in a really boring way, he added things like his personal life to the explanation, no, he basically talked about this entire life experience from the moment he was born to the present. Emyrs was already asleep when he finished! (Just get to the point old man!) Here is a quick summary of the common laws of dungeons! ____________________________ If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. Dungeons are a network of many floors that contains different monsters on different floors. The monsters in the dungeons can respawn given enough time unlike their cousin outside of dungeons that use reproduction to keep their race going. Monsters in the dungeons when killed vanishes and drops loot. The loot that the monster drops correspond to what loot and the fixed chance that the monster could drop (including luck on stats). Every 10 floors there are a boss level. Monsters would disappear if they are not on the floor they are meant to be in. The dungeon walls can¡¯t be destroyed or harmed in anyway and anything that is not a drop from the monster can¡¯t be taken out of the floor itself or it would vanish. ____________________________________________________ Emyrs: (just woken up, carrying the still asleep Alice in a princess carry) Well then, see you later! Bye! Garen: -and that is how I got a divorce with my wife. Eh? (looking around, confused) Where did they go? Adventure¡¯s guild ______________ Emyrs walked into the ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡± dragging the just woken up Alice, who was latching onto Emyrs¡¯ arm. That was definitely attracting the attention of a lot of old perverts out there. Eva: (politely) How may I help you, sir? Emyrs: I would like to dive in a dungeon, do you have any dungeons to recommend? Eva: I would recommend you to explore the ¡°Bacon¡± dungeon, it is a C rank dungeon.However, you would need a team of 4 to dive into any dungeon. Emyrs: (speechless) What the heck is wrong with that name¡­ Then there is a problem¡­ How are we supposed to get more team members? Eva: You could recruit for more members at the recruitment board beside the notice board. (handed over a sheet of paper) Emyrs filled up the form. Recruitment __________ Race: Any Level: 30 ~ 60 Rank: C ~ A Class: Any Occupation: Any __________ Classes are different from occupation. Classes basically give others an overview of what kind of common weapon, abilities, and armor you use. For example wizard, a mage that uses a staff to support them in area of effect magic, they wear a robe and has horrible mobility; thus, needs a shield class to tank damage for them for maximum effect. On the other hand, occupation tells others what jobs and ability you specializes in. For example Ice wizard, it tells others that you specialize in ice magic, you can freeze enemies and you are good against fire element monsters; thus, you are more likely to be chosen to a team who wants to deal with a fire element monsters, especially bosses. After placing 2 of this forms up in the recruitment board, they went back to the tavern to relax. And now... the waiting game... End Chapter 14: New members A week later¡­ Adventure¡¯s guild ______________ Eva: (with a smile, handed over a folder) Congrats, 5 adventurers applied to join your team to dive into the dungeon. (Note: Smaller teams usually temporary join with other teams when dealing with challenging quest) Emyrs: (flipped through the folder, handed it over to Alice) Here, have a look. Recruitment __________ Name: Russell Race: human(male) level: 46 Rank: B Class: swordsman(warrior) __________ Recruitment __________ Name: Sarah Race: human(female) level: 38 Rank: C Class: swordsman(dualist) __________ Recruitment __________ Name: Faelyn Race: Elf(male) level: 45 Rank: B Class: ranger(sniper) __________ Recruitment __________ Name: Natsumi Race: beastmen(female) level: 42 Rank: C Class: fighter(berserker) __________ Recruitment __________ Name: Gaviel Race: dwarf(male) level: 39 Rank: C Class: tanker(paladin) __________ Emyrs: How many recruiters can I recruit? Eva: You are only able to have a maximum of 12 members in a team. Emyrs: (turned towards Alice) Alice, I¡¯ll let you be the judge. Alice: If that¡¯s the case then¡­ (giggled) All of them! Emyrs: (turned towards Eva with a smile) You heard her. Eva: (nodded) Alright. Eva conveniently sorted everything for them. Afterward, Emyrs, as the leader of the team, filled up a sheet of notice paper that will convey the specific gathering time to everyone in the team. (That time was tomorrow midday at a specific corner of the ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡±.)Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Famous adventurers present adventuring as fun, thrilling and heroic, the reality is far from it. Adventurers, unlike how one would imagine to be spending most of their time hunting monsters and explore forbidden lands, were usually occupied by long and boring waits for quest, recovery, and recruitment. Most adventurers are only able to complete at most 15 quests per year accounting that everything went smoothly without any external issues like delays in a quest, recruitment, false information and many more. Quest, especially high rank monster hunt type quest, is very time consuming because it is crucial to plan, track down and understand the abilities and habits of the target you are exterminating. All monsters has their own unique personalities, habits, and abilities, without proper planning, research and observation a team would usually be wiped out with surprises from the target; for example a quirky fighting style or more commonly, when a monster enters its enraged state (also called berserk state). Every high-rank monster and some mid-rank monster has an enraged state that is unique to themselves, not even the same species could have a standard enrage state; this is also the reason why higher rank monster are a pain to deal with and full team wipes in the first few tries are common. However, if you were the lucky few to pull it off, your fame would skyrocket and you would become the center of attention for a few days, even if you were just a minor character in the team. The next day, Emyrs and Alice were waiting, early, on the designated area of the gathering. It was not long before someone came to greet them, that person clearly had the same idea as them. He has a battle scar that runs through one of his uncomfortably sharp pair of red eyes. His bushy and long beard that smelled rich in alcohol, swayed side by side like a pendulum as he proceeded to close in on them. His beard was extended till his torso, it wasn¡¯t because his beard was long but instead he was shot. His surprisingly proportional buffed short figure made Emyrs realize that someone from the dwarf race was standing in front of him, maybe he¡¯s one of their teammates. However, there was just one slight problem and that was the fact that the dwarf in front of him has a battle scar. In this world, scars rarely exist because they could be easily healed by a low-rank healing potion that is accessible to even the poorest peasants (low-rank potion has a dead cheap price of about 10 copper, as long as someone skip one or two full cheap meals, they would have already saved more than 10 copper). If someone has a scar on them, then there are only two reasons why, they are slaves and their master doesn¡¯t allow them to heal the scar or because they hold a deep grudge against the person who inflicted the scar to them, it was to signify eternal resentment against someone; at the same time, it also indicates that you are someone who is unable to let go of the past and move on. Someone who is deemed as unforgiving, violent and unfriendly, definitely not someone you want to get to close to or offend. Gaviel: (towards Emyrs and Alice, lacking a friendly smile) Name¡¯s Gaviel, a paladin, a pleasure to meet both of you. Emyrs: You too, just call me Emyrs, I¡¯m a weapon master(due to Emyrs showing that he could use both a melee and ranged weapon, the ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡± decided to change his class to weapon master). Alice: It¡¯s Alice, a mage, nice to meet you too! Although it was early, they did not have a nice long chat about experiences, like how normal adventurers usually do in a team. Gaviel was pressing his face against the table like a depressed child, Emyrs found it amusing watching him (you weirdo MC!), it was a good way to kill time for him. As time begins to pass, more members came in one after another one. All of them gathered around a table and started to introduce themselves. Introducing themselves only after everyone was gathered is an unwritten law for adventurers (Emyrs, Gaviel and Alice kind of broke this law¡­); this is to reduce the chance of discrimination on a certain member. If everyone were to introduce themselves once everyone was gathered,it would make others have less rash decision in the eyes of everyone, afterall, no one likes others to have a bad opinion of them the moment they met and it would also make it seems like they are working as a whole team and not as an individual (It only says reduce, some of the time it doesn¡¯t work. Since there would always exist some idiots who believe that they are the best and detest on others from different social class or race)[fact: everyone, no matter who you are, judges people instinctively as it is part of our nature to do so. To be able to judge something the moment you met it would allow you to make a quick decision on what to do and increase survivability]. Emyrs: Let¡¯s start our introduction. My name is Emyrs and my class is a weapon master(unless it is a trusted person, no one would usually tell others their occupation as it would show of their weakness and also ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡± keep personal information a secret). Who¡¯s next? Natsumi: (excitedly) Me! Me! My name¡¯s Natsumi, my class is a berserker. Happy to meet every one of you! One might imagine Natsumi as a muscle-bound woman, however, she is far from it. More like an adorable bright social cat with cat ears, a matching sleek raven pigtail (twin-tail) and a pair of magical royal purple eyes rather than a wild berserker. Alice: I¡¯m next! My name is Alice, my class is a mage, nice to meet you. Faelyn: I¡¯ll go next, my name is Faelyn, my class is a sniper. Faelyn, a handsome, robust and charming perfect young man with fair white skin, a sharp face, a pair of pointy ears, a long illuminating golden hair that is comparable to a woman, a set of profound sapphire eyes and a long wooden bow on his back. Sarah: (hesitant) I guess I¡¯ll go next, my name is Sarah, my class is a dualist. Sarah, a sweetly sophisticated young woman, with a crystal clear azure blue eyes, a long sun-kissed ponytail laced by twine that matched her eyes. Natsumi: (nudging Gaviel, with a puffed-up face) Wake up sleepy head! Introduce yourself! Gaviel: (crawled up from his sleep, most frowned when they saw his scar but the next thing he does make them have the urge to curse at him) Huh? Oh¡­ My name is Gaviel and my class is a¡­ erm... paladin, goodnight. (dropped back to sleep) Everyone: (absolutely speechless) Natsumi: (pointing at Gaviel)Team leader, are you sure that we are able to rely on him? Emyrs: Hmm¡­ I wonder¡­ Everyone: (even more speechless) Natsumi then sat back down with a fed-up face. Emyrs: (suddenly) Hmm? Aren¡¯t we missing a member? Natsumi: (questioning suspiciously) Are we? Alice: Yeah, I think he was called Rusty? (rusty brains don¡¯t work, so they arrive late, get it? Get it? Nvm) Emyrs: (Retorted) Don¡¯t butcher people¡¯s name, it¡¯s Russell! Faelyn seemed a bit annoyed, maybe it was from their blathering or maybe it was something else. 10 minutes later¡­ Natsumi: (agonising, scratching her hair) I¡¯m so bored! I can¡¯t take it anymore! I¡¯m going to have a walk to pass time. Another 20 minutes later¡­ (guys, don¡¯t ever take a walk more than 10-15 mins it¡¯s disrespectful to let others wait) Natsumi: (returned, with enthusiasm) I¡¯m back! Has he arrived? Faelyn: (very frustrated) No! Natsumi: (instantly turned dejected) Alright¡­ Natsumi then left afterwards. Emyrs: (thought to himself) Does this girl have bipolar disorder or something? While Alice was walking around the ¡°adventure¡¯s guild¡± fiddling with things and getting stopped by the receptionist, Emyrs was scrolling through his endless list of skills and functions of his mysterious tower; on the other hand, Sarah was waiting patiently and awkwardly as she is sandwich between a slumbering old man and a clearly very irritated ticking time bomb. Little do they know there was still a long journey ahead of them¡­ Chapter 31: conference Precious information was leaked from the Roukar kingdom. Betrayers all fled towards Kryst Kingdom to find support, which their king welcomed with open arms. Among those leaked was the rise of demons; coupled with the active movement of demons recently, it is apparent that an invasion of demons is inevitable. Although both kings had their own methods of backstabbing each other, at a time like this, they know it would only benefit both of them if they work together and vanquish the evil. Thus a conference was held at the heart of kryst kingdom. The attendance came, the famed king of Roukar kingdom, the brawny king of the beast kingdom, the elegant king of the elven tribe and lastly, the cunning king of the kryst kingdom. Kings and queens from all kingdoms brought their finest men to serve them in all glamorous needs required by the upper class. Along with their finest man came the slave of labor, carrying jugs of water, flour for cheap meals, hay for livestock and horses, ice for the preservation of top grade food for the royals and patched tents to house the slaves. As for the king, queen, the nobles and their helper, all of them had pouches to contain their luxury needs. It was a slow and boring journey, no one would expect the king to be rushing, when he could have been leisurely explore the rare world around him. Being able to travel around the world is always a luxury for a king. The king is the greatest asset of any Kingdom and his safety is the ¡°number one priority¡±. [Why does this sound like a pun????] Having said that, it is more likely that the king just wants a day off from his everyday taxing life. Going to deal matters elsewhere is no more than an excuse to have a long leave. 2 weeks of hard work, the last king finally arrived, leisurely, once again. The respective kingdom attendees had set up their tents outside the walls, fanning their kings with large feathery hand fan crafted with mastered delicate art. Of course, with the exception of the elven kingdom, who, weirdy uses palm leaves. [Add some sand and make that Hawaii] 12 noon, the main bell tolls. Dong- [er-] Reverberating throughout the entire city. Random person [author: accidentally wrote "peasants", I''ve really lost it this time]: (yelled) There, marks the start of harvest season. Come on guys, lets celebrate! Harvest festival celebrates the start of harvest season, each year. Many residents redecorate the plain looking town with any scraps they could find, creativity bloom off the chart. Stages were set and songs were played. In this short few hours, enemies became friends, grudges were let lose; all for the respect of Dem¨¦ter, whose daughter, Persephone, came back to her arms and the soil sprang fertile once again.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. Unknown to most, it was also the time where demons made their first contact with humans troops and started a gruesome battle. River of blood flow through the cracks of the unstructured heaps of bodies scattered across acres of battle field. The dyed red soil for anyone to trips and splash. Brandished steel, the heart of a soldier used to carved out passages, came down like rain. Demons chops and dice fresh soft meat; their claws smoked with red hot blood. General, kneeling after the other; soldiers cramming their knees in battle, all to common. For it is not long the soldiers turned, charging at their fellow comrades. Commanders reluctantly commanded the gunning of their fellow kind. Their heart swells in pain, legs tremble in fear. For a kitten to met a lion requires great courage, one that was blown away like dust. Furnished with silver tight arms. One that crumbles at the intimidating sight of the hollow demons. Like overcharged machines, the demons spun justice with unstoppable force. Breaking from the back lines, it was a slaughter house. When the sun has lost its might, the city reverted, fortress fallen; what¡¯s left was the quiet shrills of angels. In the end, silence had fallen back to its root. The void nature of life. An emergency meeting was held, kings rushed in with panic when they knew about the dire situation. __________________________ The next part is well¡­ A fun part for everyone.

It should at least keep you company for a while when I¡¯m not posting XD Hope you guys will enjoy this as I spend quite some time for this^^ ___________________________ Aaron: What is for us to be here, the cunning? Henry: (ignored his questions) You should be the first to keep such secrets, the famed. Aaron: I had anticipated, the secret wouldn¡¯t stand for long. Nor would it matter either way. Henry: (scoffs) Barely eligible. (Turned towards the audience) For why have we gathered, one should have heard the news. I applaud for your coming. Brawl : Leave the courtesy; for you weak, the town has fallen. Your choppy fingers states the reason. Henry: Brawl the brawny, weak yet strong. Your lowered mind understands not. Pliage they may, our hero shall rise and theirs- shall fall. David: For the price it pays, has it lost? For the lives repent, does this war have to go on? Henry: The elegance, you willing to let your roots be soiled without a fight? The suffering of our people and generations to come lies in our present decision. David: State no more, for peace I will. Brawl: (interrupts) Worry none as it pays to fight. Henry: The brawl made the judgement. Let¡¯s even the broil. Kill the corrupt corporal for the might! Aaron: I digress. Brawl: (surprised) For what? Aaron: The prisoner of thought. Henry: State, why not? Aaron: The imperial reign of demons bid us for more. Our hero might be lost before they soar. For who they become might be our fall. A hero might be our kingdom¡¯s gold, but a knife to our own precious soul. Henry: You tell that I won¡¯t last? I sole think my struggles would sought a surprise. If chance uprise I will take, support me will you not? A solicit I beg. My hair erect, my bare bones crack. Till I¡¯m dethroned, till the sunlight seeps through my fractured skin, my hardened mind will not turn back. David: Do you bear the consequences to start the action? Have your mind flipped off the edge for a barren goal? Brawl: Eating an ancient root cause his insanity. (Towards cunning) Sow your seed for you will regret, the cunning. Aaron: Pressure him not, let him be. Shun our meeting, for my kind I try, but I wished for not. (Leaves) Brawl: Give this mad man a chance. His heroes is our only choice. Now if you would, excuse me. (Leaves) David: I approve nothing, my lips are sealed. (Leaves) Henry: So be it. (Leaves)
