Roland

Chapter 1 Ron

2000 years ago there was a boy named Ron, he was a really lazy boy, yet he was also a brilliant boy who can do many things. He lived in a small village called Enichdhen, It was really a small village with nothing much you can do there. In Ron's world there were people who called themselves adventurers and what did they do? They were hunting some monsters in the forest and exploring the dungeons.

Ron was really a small lazy boy, but one day he decided to explore the dungeon with the adventurers, instead of helping his dad planting seeds on their farm. So on that day Ron sneaked his way out the house and went to follow the adventurers. Ron thought that sneaking away and following the adventurers secretly might give him a chance to gain some money by looting the adventurers monster.

But that thing was not so smart at all! Because the dungeon are really dangerous for a kid like him!

Before he realized how dangerous the dungeon was, he was caught up in a fight with all of the monsters by himself. Fortunately he managed to handle those monsters. The first monster he was facing was a slime. It was a small monster made from a pretty sticky liquid. Even though the monster was small, it was dangerous, because of their numbers. Luckily Ron was facing only ten of them. Using his pocket knife and his small knowledge he managed to kill the ten slimes.

Thank god I have pocket knife in my back, I knew it! The small knowledge I read on that adventure book was useful.

That day, Ron managed to venture the first floor of the dungeon by following the adventurers and slayed some other small monsters using his pocket knife, he was also lucky because some of the monster are able to be used as a loot for daily tools. Such as a core of broken slime was good for making arrow, tooth of big rats, the tooth of big rats are functioned as nail it usually used for making a houses and everyday tools, Horn of the horned rabbit were used for making small hammers and many thing else.

Oh my god I never expect this. I can loot many things! And yet none of the villagers have never thought of making money from these. They work for my father at the farm instead. I can gain more money and use less energy to kill this small monster!

At the end of the day the adventurer came back to his village and they still did not notice that Ron were following them. It was a big looting that Ron brought and hid that day. Later on he kept on doing it so many time with many adventurers who came to the village.

Ron were able to sell his looting to the nearby town and made money for the family. Ron was 11 years old that year and he was able to make about 90 cooper a week. It was a lot of money, but the bandits started to follow him.

In this world there were many kinds of jobs you could have and the first rate job was becoming a knight. When you were a knight, you got a salary around 40 silver a week. It was as much as 40,000 cooper. But you must start your job as a soldier. As a soldier, you only got a salary around 40 cooper a weeks, so 90 cooper was quite a lot of money obtained by a kid. But an adventurer got much more money than a knight, because an adventurer gained their money by exploring the dungeon, killing the monsters, and looting them.They got their payment by finishing the quest, gathering the loot from the monster they killed and then selling them, also sometimes by selling the dungeon treasure.

The bandits were now following Ron. At first they saw him as ordinary kid who earned money for his family, but they began to suspect him when they saw Ron did not keep his money. Ron entered a weapon shop and bought a knife and a whetstone. So the bandits followed him until he went home to his own house.

"Goddammit why must we follow up this kid up!"

"Well he earns a lot of money just in one week! Stop your whining around and keep on observing what the heck he does!"

"Oh come on Ed! We are following him a day and yet we got no more information! We only saw him buying a knife and whetstone and hiding them under the rock near his house"

"We will figure it up tomorrow morning. I promise you that is the first we'd do tomorrow, then we can rob the adventurers!"

An the end of the day the bandit were still observing Ron's house alternately. Until the morning sun rose in the east.
