Human Deity: Rise of the Arthur

Chapter 11: First Quest

This is going to be a long journey till I get back home.

These words rang inside Arthur's mind as he kept on listening to Joseph and Rebecca. Arthur then tried to regain his composure. Being told and experiencing things are very different. The world was so vast that there were too many things that were stronger than him.

"So, will this young man join our guild?" Rebecca wiped her tears as she said this, the feeling of learning someone was alive while you thought they were dead could bring someone such mixed emotions.

Joseph took Arthur and put Arthur's arm on the desk, "Yes, that is correct! Now, Arthur, we will only need a bit of your blood to complete the contract into the guild!" Rebecca then took out a sharp knife which was so sharp that the knife that when the edge reached Arthur's palm it bled.

Arthur had the body strength of 230. There wasn't even much force put into the blade rather it was as if Rebecca was trying to prevent the blade from slicing his arm off. As the blade sliced Arthur's arm, a drop of blood fell down. There was a vial that the blood leaked into.

"Please wait a moment while I do the finishing touches to register you to our guild!" Rebecca ran to the back carrying the vial.

After waiting for a while, Rebecca came back and pointed to the Status Orb, "Now all we need is to know your status!" Arthur placed his hand on the Status Orb and his stats were displayed.

Status of Arthur Reeve: (Please note that the characters do not see the increase only you guys!)

Guild: None

Body Strength: 230 -> 250

Soul: 100 -> 110

Mental Strength: 140 -> 150

Magic: 1 -> 5

Talent: 2 -> 5

Rank: Unranked

Rebecca took a step back, "U-Unranked? Huh? Wait! Joseph, why was he unranked? I thought that he was at least at Infant Rank for you to recruit him!" Rebecca stuttered while she said this as being unranked means their stats were extremely weak.

Joseph pointed towards the Body Strength Stat, "Look at that before you doubt my decision." Rebecca once again examined the stats and was surprised as she didn't focus on his stats rather just his rank because usually, the rank of a person would determine how strong they were.

"2-250?! That's even more than when you were unranked! I doubt anyone at the same rank could rival that young man! He could even rival some Infant Rankers! But he only had a talent of 5 so his growth would be limited to how hard his effort would be." Rebecca's eyes were filled with shock and melancholy at the same time, such a magnificent young man that was blessed with extreme luck joined their guild but his growth was limited, extremely limited.

Joseph had a smug expression, "What if I told you that when I first met 2 weeks ago his Body Strength Stat was 40? And that his original talent was 1 in the first place!" Joseph kept on smiling as he was confident that Rebecca would have no more arguments.

"Joseph, I know you see that this young man was magnificent! I totally agree with that but... increasing so much with rising a rank and even rising his talent is just... something that only exists in legends. Perhaps you should get a drink for introducing us to this young man!

Joseph's expression did not change in the slightest, "I know you were going to say that as it was a part of my calculations! He learned and fully mastered the Full Strike Technique, Rock Hardening Technique and even surpassed my in Wisp Movement Technique." Joseph then motioned Arthur do those techniques in front of Rebecca.
