Recovering from their near-death experience with the Deacon Ranchus from the Aris cult, Remi and Edward have been taking on smaller missions for the rankless guild. They catch animals, kill small hordes of monsters, and, of course, apprehend bandits.

In an abandoned warehouse, screams could be heard from miles away. A group of thieves were fleeing from what appeared to be a man with a single blue horn on the right side of his forehead.

One of the thieves stood his ground and charged at the horned man, yelling, "Rahhhhhhh!!!"

"Hmph!" the horned man exclaimed as he skillfully dodged the attack and delivered a powerful punch to the thief's gut.

"Guffff!" The thief dropped to his knees and collapsed due to the sheer force of the blow.

"So this level of strength is enough to knock them out, huh? Good," the man commented. He was dressed in a blue and yellow shirt, gray trousers, long black boots, and black bandages on his hands. A sheathed sword rested by his left side, and he wore a bronze chest plate as well.

"Sir Remi, your horn is out again. If it keeps appearing, people will discover you're a demon," another man emerged from a door inside the warehouse.

"Ed, sometimes it just comes out when my rage overflows! So I can't always control it," Remi countered.

"I guess so, but you'll still need to work on that. For those who know, it will be challenging to earn their trust," Edward advised.

Remi and Edward continued to subdue the bandits, with Remi delivering powerful punches and Edward using an air shield to knock them down. As they fought, both Remi and Edward grew in levels and improved their fighting styles and abilities (known as classes).

The name of the duo was given by the status system.

The two finally reached the stash room where the stolen goods were being held.

"Oi, Ed, take all the stuff for the guild. The most valuable ones, however, stay with us!" Remi said smugly.

"But, sir, heroes don't do that," Edward added.

"That's why most heroes in my world are broke. Now, get to work!" Remi ordered.

Knowing the financial situation they were going through, Edward quickly separated the valuable loot from the others. This included things like jewels, potions, and books while leaving the money and other property to be returned to the guild.

'Clank!' A door was kicked open by Remi with tremendous force.

"This is the last room. I wonder what's..." Edward said before he saw something intriguing.

The two adventurers stumbled upon a cage with a little girl inside.

"Please, save me! I beg of you!" the girl pleaded.

Remi quickly picked up a knocked-out bandit from the floor.

"You sick fuck! Even a girl like this is prey for your monsters!" Remi shouted, his voice filled with killing intent.
