"Adventures Guild"
Before we entered my heart jumped with joy at the thought of being able to use magic, something that only happened in anime and games.
Would I be the hot headed fire type or the cool water type or maybe the calm wind type or maybe a down to Earth rock user.
Thinking about that made my heart jump with joy and I even thought maybe people in guilds didn't treat Whiskers clan members bad...I couldn't have been more wrong, myself joy blinded me from the harsh reality as we walked through the doors.
I thought we would be welcomed with open arms but as soon as I walked in I got a quite a few smiles and even a few girls started to walk to me but, when they saw Tabatha with me, the girls darted away and everyone started staring at us with blood shot eyes as we walked to an empty table in the back of the guild away from everybody.
The guild had about forty tables inside with a bar, each table was made out of wood with wooden stools as the seats. At the opposite side of where we sat and right by the bar was a counter which reminded me of a bank counter with someone that looked like a bank teller...I guess they would be called magic tellers but that's my opinion. About twenty tables were full by the bar. Everyone sitting at those twenty tables were wearing armor as some clinched thier swords while others seemed to be speaking to themselves.
I turned my attention back to Tabatha and excitedly asked."Hey, where do I sign up to be a wizard?"
She must of not heard me as she sat there shocked. Perhaps its because of the looks everyone gave us when we walked in.
I moved to where she could only see me and
I asked her again but, this time louder I said:"Hey where do I sign up to be a wizard?"
Tabatha looked at me, covering her mouth with her hand as she laughingly said:"It isn't called a wizard."
"Huh..."
On our four mile walk here, I could of swore I put enough parts together. I was sure this was a wizard world.
"What you want to be is called an Adventurer and you sign up for it over there." She said putting her hand down as she continued to smile.
An Adventurer...Wait I thought this was a magic world not adventurer world.
I even looked forward to being a wizard on our way here from our 4 mile walk...Things just are not going as I planned.
She pointed at a counter with a pretty lady with blue hair was. I looked and saw that it was pretty occupied, I decided to sit here until the line went down.
Eh...That many people want to be an Adventurer...It must pay good.
I was curious at why the line was full and I asked Tabatha:"Why is the line full?Does everyone want to be an Adventurer?"
She answered back with a terrified voice as her smile was nowhere to be found:"No, that's also the line for them to get more quests onto there card."
I looked back to see what was terrifying her and I noticed for the first time why she was scared of me when we first met, as I trembled at the sight because it reminded me of my past.
Everyone in the guild had what I thought was there strongest magic pointed at us, fire, water, wind,earth was the only ones I recognized. Its seemed like they was ready to unleash it if we made even the slightest mistake. I could feel the power or maybe it was the pressure from there magic and it was pure evil...Damn it, this isn't how it's supposed to be because in anime everyone loves the catgirl and the new guy.
The way everything is pointing I'm only going to be an average Adventurer with little potential but with amazing luck...Damn it I'm going to be just like Kazuma!
Before I turned back around to Tabatha I made sure to hide terror, to make sure I didn't scare her and make her worry about me.
I turned back around and looked at Tabatha. Seeing me acting confused Tabatha brought out a card that read:
Tabatha Whiskers
Level:20
Power:1000
Strength:2000
Speed:1500
Agility:3000
Magic power:200
Wow this....Eh, this is exactly like a license! Couldn't you think of more for this damn Alternate world.
"This is what your magic card will look like but you'll have a different level, power and the other stuff."
Wow,this information is something I could come up with on my own! But I can't tell her that because she's trying hard to explain to me...
She turned her card over and on the right side said magic and on the left side said quests. She pressed the left side and three quests popped up.
Finally some useful information...Wait, what the hell is up with these quests!
Quest 1: Defeat the giants in the land of Zamzummins.
Quest 2:Help farmers deal with a 50 foot crocodile in there river.
Quest 3:Defeat witches in the southern mountains south of the town of Kibrothhattaavah.
Is only her quests this hard or does everyone do quest like this. I'm certain now...Damn it, I'm going to be a low level for the start.
She looked up at me and with a slightly less terrified voice and said:"If they complete all of these or just want new ones they come here to get the rewards or to change the quests."
Oh...I get it now...But I wonder what the magic part is...Well I guess I'll find out soon enough.
I wonder why she has those quest maybe she got done with her other one and these are knew.
With my curiosity taking over, I leaned over to Tabatha and said:"Why do you have these quests? Are they new or did you just not want to do them yet?"
Maybe my question was to hard to answer or perhaps it's because I was too close to her face but anyway she finally answered after a minute.
"I can't do these quest." She said sadly as her eyes fell towards the ground.
There was a long minute of silence before she finally spoke again with her voice trembling with fear she said."I need to be at least level 30 to have a chance at completing them. I came here a month ago to get my quest changed but they wouldn't give me easier quests and I'm pretty sure you know why but, I'll tell you. If anyone helps a Whiskers clan member they will be deemed a traitor. "
How can these people live with themselves...I would love to beat each and every person up but I've already accepted the fact...I'm a low level.
After a few minutes there was no line and I grabbed Tabathas hand and rushed to the counter as the people still in the guild watched us closely.
We approached the counter as the lady angrily said:"What do you want you motherfuckers."
What was this, this is the first time I met this women. It might be rude but I felt like beating her up.
"Oh, I'd like to become an Adventurer."
She quickly grabbed a piece of paper from under the counter and shouted:"Here!"
She shoved the piece of paper at my face as I staggered away because I couldn't see but I felt something squishy on my back. I grabbed the piece of paper off my face and looked back to see Tabatha holding onto me to stop me from falling over.
Eh...I thought she was lacking but after what I just felt...Looks can fool a person...It must be her cloths.
Flustered at what I just felt leaned off of Tabatha and said:"Thanks but what is this because I feel like the bitch back there isn't going to tell me?"
We walked back to the table we was sitting at before as we sat down Tabatha said:"Fill that out. It's what going telling you what level you are."
Okay...Let's see, Height is 175cm, weight 70kg. Age 17, brown hair and blueish black eyes...
I looked up when I was done and saw Tabatha staring at my application with sparkles in her eyes.
"What do I do now?"
She was still staring at my application...I wonder if she heard me?
"Take it up to the counter and she'll bring out a pressure plate with a card like mine under it. You'll keep your finger there for a minute and when you take it off, your card will have all your stats, magic and your level."
This is simple...Its kind of like a video game in a sense but then it's not...I've never heard of a game like this or an anime where the main protagonist has to protect someone who the whole world wants to kill.
I guess I'm the first then. Even if I'm a low level I swear I'll protect her, even if it kills me.
I grabbed her hand and my application paper as I rushed to the counter with the bitch there as the people continued to stare at us but this time they was grinning for some reason.
I handed her my application as she brought out a pressure plate like thing with a card like Tabathas under it.
"Put you index finger here and hold it for one minute."
I put my finger on it and it felt like a needle was in my finger as I felt power surge through my body...This must be what magic feels like..It's truly a wonderful feeling.
What if this isn't magic but poison or something like a curse...Wait are they trying to kill me.
I started to panicked when the bitch furiously said:"Its been a minute take your finger off."
Eh...They didn't poison me! Hold on, what if it's a curse!
The bitch took the card out from under the pressure plate and handed it to me with out even looking at it as thoughts rushed through my head.
"Now pay me 10,000 dollars!"
"Huh.."
Wait I don't have any money!...No I'm going to end up being someone's bitch just to pay this bitch!
As I slowly started to panick I felt Tabatha grab my other hand and put something in it. I looked at what she put in my hand and noticed it looked like 5 golden coins.
I handed them to the Bitch and then I got lost in my thoughts.
I already knew my fate but I was still curious about how low of a level I would be...Wait what if I'm in the negatives...Hold it, can you even go into the negatives.
I stood there thinking about all the possible out comes when I felt Tabatha pulling my arm. I saw a huge line behind me..Exactly how long was I in thought.
Me and Tabatha eagerly walked back to our table to see what level and magic I possessed all the while everybody continued to stare us down and murmured to each other as they broke out into a sinister laugh. One thing I know for sure I heard was this:"They're about to get what's coming to them, we just have to wait a few more minutes until they arrive."...But what the hell was they still grinning for!
I forgot about everyone else as Tabatha and I sat down side by side as I placed my card on the table and both of our faces froze with utter disbelief.
"Is this a...joke?"
I barely got the words out of my mouth as Tabatha did the same as she said."No, this...is the real...thing."
This can't be my level!
We both looked back at my card. I finally managed to look at the whole thing this time as we continued to stare with amazement at my card.
Asher Hanji
Level:50
Power:7500
Strength:7000
Speed:5000
Agility:6000
Magic power:500
Thank you God! I'm a high level, I can actually protect Tabatha and get revenge on everyone here for scaring Tabatha and me.
I eagerly flipped my card over to see what magic I had. I turned it over and pressed the magic on the right side. I pressed it and it said:
Lightning magic
Lightning sword level:30
Lightning blast level:40
Lightning flash(teleportation) level:35
I looked up to see Tabatha shocked with her mouth wide open. I reached and slowly slide my hand down her face as she finally awakened from her shock.
"Hey how do I use magic?"
She was still stunned as she barely got these words out of her mouth:"Say the name of the magic that you want to use. For you, you'll want to say Lightning sword and it will come into your hand."
I looked back at my card and noticed I only needed 10 Exp to level up... I'm OP from the get go!
"Is this the only magic skills I got or is there a way to get more?"
These skills look like they would be great but if they're the only ones I get, I'm going to be ticked beyond belief...I better get more!
"Click the Lightning magic."
I clicked the Lightning magic and as I did about forty more skills popped up but the one that got my attention was Lightning thunder strike. I clicked it and it appeared next to my other skills.
"Hey...What just happened?"
"You got a new skill and look it's already level 35. And to think you only used one Skill point and still have 149 left."
I'm getting more skills! I felt like crying in that moment but I stopped myself...Wait, how do I have that much skill points...Cheat codes?
"How do I have that much Skill points?"
I was curious because it just doesn't add up to me. Is this even real because I'm already level fifty from the start. I guess I might get my wish sooner.
"Each time you level up you get three skill points and since your level 50 already it's like you just saved up your skill points."
That's pretty good but I wonder if there are any perks to me being this high of a level.
"Is there anything special about me being level 50 other than I can beat most anybody."
Tabatha thought about it for a second before she calmly said:"Other than getting better quests with more money there isn't much because in this world everyone is an Adventurer but only some can become Magic knights if your extremely powerful..."
Tabatha didn't finish her sentence as her face sadden and I didn't know why.
Tabatha finally started to talk again as tears formed in her eyes and she sadly said:"You aren't going to leave me, are you?"
I was shocked at first but then I remember what she said about the better pay and only extremely powerful people can be Magic knights. I get why she would think that but, I know I won't join the knight because if they are just like the people here then they want people like Tabatha dead.
Nobody deserves to be treated like this Whiskers clan has.
"I won't leave you because we're going to make a squad. Now come on lets leave this damn town."
I saw Tabathas face immediately lighten up as hope entered her eyes. I grabbed her hand and started to walk out as a group of what looked like knights entered the Guild.
