the secret realm book 1

joining the guild

I came to the registration to joining the adventurer guild. I walked in ready to start my journey, but then a large orc said back of the line. I looked to see what he meant, then I saw a large line of people. I sighed and went to the very back. I then waited for 40 minutes and then the person right in front of me started to strike conversation. She said hi I'm Katun and then I said hi I'm Oliver.  She said nice to meet you Oliver oh how rude of me this is my best friend Anzunak and it was the same orc that yelled at me earlier. He then turned around and I said hi and then I said hello I'm Oliver nice to meet you and then he said I don't care he replied bluntly.  Katun said sorry about him he's just tired of doing this again.  I said again? She said adventurers have to re-register when they move into a different kingdoms and then I said so you both are already adventurers?  She said yep level 6 actually.  oh cool do you guys got any advice for me?   The orc said yeah don't die and then katun said good luck with the registration, then it was the orcs turn to register and then the girls and then mine. The register ask what's your name and then I said Oliver and then they said surname brites and then the register said are you already a adventurer or you just starting ? I said just starting. Then the register got hot iron and casted a spell on the iron , then she got the hot iron and then she said give me your arm .I hesitantly gave her my arm, then she branded me and then I screamed in pain. The brand was a shape of a 1 with some word's on it then she said well that does it. Welcome to the guild. I said why did you brand me?  She said the brand tells everyone what level you are and what kingdom you're from. Why didn't anyone else scream in pain I asked. She said probably because they tougher than you are. Now move along you holding up the line. I moved and holding my arm in pain.Then I made my way to the quest room and then I looked at the list of available quest from fighting goblins to guarding royal families to fighting literal gods, but they won't allow you to go on solo quest until your level 10. So I went to the other low-level adventurers that were making parties and asked if I could join. Some said sorry no low-level adventurers allowed in this party or you can join if you pay us and then I went to katun and Anzunak and I asked if I could join them Anzunak said you wouldn't last a day on our quest and katun said I'm sorry but he's right. Then I finally found a party of six people that were low level and looking for a member to join. One person was a mage, the other was a healer the other was a guy that knows everything about monsters. Even their weaknesses and species and types. A guy that is a swordsman .a Archer and a former huntsman. But the party was only temporarily they going to go on 1 quest and then go their separate ways. We all decide to pick a goblin killing quest, it turns out a group of goblins set up camp in the nearby mountains and have been raiding farmers. The goblins have been increasing their population, if this population increase continues most of the villages around this area will be destroyed and all the villagers will be killed.  There corpses will be taken as food for their young .It's simple we go in kill as many goblins as we can and burn down there camp.  kill every last one of them and get out of there. we then took a long hike in the mountains , I asked so how many goblins are there ? The swordsman said 40 goblins but probably in a few days the population will increase by 200 .How's that possible I asked ?The guy who knows everything about monsters said they age faster than humans and they develop inside there mothers womb faster than the average human. Judging by the population the goblins and the date of the sightings they were only 2 that came here originally. there's 2 leaders the father and the mother there usually the ones that created the camp they were probably goblins from another camp but went rogue. Then the swordsman said we need to clear these goblins out before there population reach the thousands in a few months that's why we have to kill all of them. Then I asked I never got everyone's names? The healer said we aren't here to become friends, we are here to kill those goblins get paid and go our separate ways. I walked silently but then a thought came to my mind what were those monsters that attacked me almost a week ago? Then I told the guy that knows everything about monsters that a monster attack me a week ago and I gave him the full description of what it looked like. He said a creature like that doesn't exist. And I all I could think is it did exist they did attacked me and now I'm trapped here! Then the huntsman stopped and said we are here.  I grabbed my sword and I saw a camp of goblins. They had wooden walls around there camp I climbed up a tree to see them celebrating there recent raid. They were eating the corpses of the humans they slayed. The mage climbed up the tree with me and casted a spell made a fireball and When the goblins just notice us she launch the fire ball at them and the goblins were burning alive. As they tried to escape The swordsman and the huntsman killed them I quickly climb down the tree and helped them  slay the goblins. One of the goblins that came out of the fire was the father judging that he had better armor than other goblins he got his blade and tried to stab me, but I quickly got my sword and remove his head from his body. The mage made a force field around the outside of the walls so the only escape was the entrance ,more and goblins came and more goblins I slayed I stabbed one in the stomach and remove another's arm and stabbed him in the heart. One goblin stabbed me in the leg I just kicked him and stomped on his head to the ground.  I felt this excitement as more came the more I kill but eventually they stop coming. Then the mage used her water magic to put out the fire and the healer healed me and the swordsman and the huntsman. They said the mother probably died in the fire. Then we came back to the guild and got paid 6 coins per goblin and I made total of 48 coins and t I bought myself a room in a inn and I went to bed sleeping for the night.
