Succubus in a New World (dropped)

Chapter 7 - Adventurer Guild

The environment was quiet, too quiet actually, only small talk was heard from the corner which there are a party of 3 people sitting there gushing out a gloomy aura around them. For now I ignored them and went straight to the counter, behind the counter was a man with tall stature, a spiky hair wearing a butler outfit, his look were decent, below an ikemen, not yet enough where many female would flock around him.

“I’m John Chris, How may I help you?” He said as he introduced himself.

“I wanted to register as an adventurer, I’m Eri.” I replied with a smile.

“Do you have any kind of form that proofs as an identification card?” he asked me

“Is bank account card proofs as one?” I ask showing him the card.

“Yes, that would be fine, could I borrow the card for a moment.”

“Ah, here you go” I lent him the card, and he put the card on top of a box that have a magic circle carved on top of the box.

“Now, do you want your Guild card being embedded inside the bank card, or create another card?” he asked me.

“I would like to create another card please” thinking it again, this is the best, If I lose either one i’m not going to work a lot more like if both guild and bank account are in the same card.

“Is that so, then could you please fill in this form” He said giving me a piece of paper, and pencil.

I fill all the blank, hiding the fact that I’m a demon, I write Elf since I have this pointy ear. (I should have told you earlier but oh well)

I gave the form to John, and he puts the form on top of the box, “Eri-san, could you please lent me your hand?” he said that and I gave him my hand without thinking.

He took out a needle from the desk and tried to poke my finger with it, and I spontaneously take my hand away from him, “What are you doing?!” I yelled.

Why was I so afraid of needles? Not needles that are from the hospital but needles that used to sew clothes, it’s because I fell sick for a whole week after being poked with a needle by my friend. They said It had tetanus in it, that was the most frightening thing that happen to me, since every hour I had seizure happening.

“Ah, please be at ease, we used new one every time we do this” as he said that my mind became calm once again, whew, that was scary.

I lent him my hand again, and he poked my index finger with the needle and he squeezed my index finger to get a drop of blood out. Once the drop of blood hits the form, a shining bright light appears from it, transforming into a card, that’s awesome.

He gave me a small towel to cover my finger with, and he writes the number that was on the card.

“Here’s your guild card, and Bank card, please do not lose your guild card, because reissuing it would cost you 10000 pin worth” he said, giving a stern warning.

The card shows my name, occupation, gender, age and race, other than that it also shows G on the top right corner of the card.

“John-san, there’s this G on top of my card what is that? And if possible could you explain to me more about the guild system?” I asked him showing the card.

“ah … The alphabet up there is the Rank of each adventurer, every Quest you take, or every monster you hunt, You’ll be rewarded with money and Points, each monsters and quest have different ranks and points. The lowest Rank is G which is every adventurer's starts, by gaining points, you could rank up steadily or exponentially fast depending how fast you work. As I said, G is the start of every adventurer’s rank, and There’s the SS Rank, the last rank available right now, which is only 7 people occupying the rank at the moment” he explain the rank system clearly.

“Okay I understand.”

“Next is the Quest system here, Quest has it's own category: delivery, and combat Quest.

For delivery, once you hit C rank, you could deliver across the city, for F rank, you could only deliver across the town.

And for Combat Quest, You’ll be killing monster for it’s body part, or being a bodyguard, each rank has its own difficulty.

Every quest is ranked, so new adventurers could only do F quest at the first time.”  

“And after that, hunting monsters inside the dungeon scattered outside the city. There are 3 types of dungeon: Cave, Forest, and Labyrinth.

Cave are the most basic of Dungeon, they’re naturally created from the cave itself, because a cave emitted magic power causing monsters to form from the miasma, only cave dungeon where the monster disappeared after you killed it there, so the prove for that one is a magic crystal that was dropped by the monster. The deeper you go, the higher the monsters rank is.

Forest, Monster that are not created from the cave but rather they are normal animal that are wild.

Labyrinth is a dungeon created by the legendaries, there are 5 of them around this country, Labyrinth’s rank are much more higher than the other dungeon since legendaries exceeded Rank SS, or could be compared to a Demi God.”

“Did you understand that all?” John said.

“Ah yes, I understand what you're saying” I replied.

“Ah, if you want to take quest right away, it's​ beside the training ground, usually it's crowded because people wanted to get the job right away” he said pointing toward the board.

“Thank you very much” I bowed and showed gratitude toward John, his explanation was quite compact and clear enough for me to understand.

I went to the quest board and observe it carefully, quite a lot of variety in the quest, but none of them were you know, quite daring, but oh well. I took one quest that pique my interest, which is collecting 10 herb, the herb are outside the south gate, not too far from the gate but not too close as well.

I took the paper and asked John about doing this quest, “That's perfect Eri-san, but by the way, have you prepared ​everything before doing the quest? Such as equipment, some food, potion, something like that?”

“I was about to, I just​ arrived here, I came from a village nearby, so I don't have anything on me.” I replied.

“Is that so… then good luck Eri-san” he said.
