I arrived in front of the guild and looked at it in wonder. This my friends is an adventure guild a place where almost every person in fantasies arrive to struggle to meet their hopes and dreams it doesn't matter if it's power, money, women, or fame. All of it begins in the adventure guild.
I walk up the the first open counter and see something I've long waited for. Elf. Not a house elf of those creepy children of the forest but a proper elf like lord of the rings style. The pale beautiful skin the pointy ears the feeling of nature yep she's and elf.
"Welcome to the Orario City guild how may I help you today?" she asks politely.
"I'm here to register as an explorer and get my identification."
"Simple enough and may I ask what Familia you belong to?" she asked getting out pens and papers and a silver plate.
"No Familia currently do you happen to have a list of the ones open to recruiting and a map of the city I can purchase?"
"Sure I can do that." I start signing down my information on the paper age name the regular stuff. this world and most of the others let's just go with Ryan Steele.
After I've filled out the paperwork and was checked to be level 0 with no earned excelia. they didn't check my skills or anything and my stats were all 0. Skills are often a secret of the adventurer it's highly impolite to look at them and even considered taboo to steal peeks at other status boards unless your the god or goddess of their family. She used a type of magic item to stamp the piece of metal with my name, level, and other minor things.
"Okay here is a list of current Familia in the city with what they look for and how many current members they have."
I browsed through the list searching for my intended person and there she was right at the bottom with no Familia members. I smiled and memorized the address. my total few came up to 1100 valis a little over 1 gold. I received a basic starter set which was 1 dagger, 1 carrying pouch, 1 pack of rations, 1 canteen, 1 fire starter and that was it. neat.
I walked out happily sliding my I'd into a little section on the front of the pouch and putting my stuff inside it before attaching it to my belt. It even had a small slot for the knife to fit in fancy eh?
I made my way to my new home for the next however long I wanted to stay this world did not have an ending I was free to leave and go anytime I want however I would receive no rewards from beating the world.
I let my shadows out to search around for a specific person I wanted to help. they would bring her straight to the kingdom no questions asked and right to the infirmary.
I found my way to my new home and it was exactly like I had expected. a simple what appeared to be 2 story church that happened to be almost in ruins there were crumbling walls, weeds and garbage in the yard the roof appeared to have holes the door was barely on the hinges. I made my way inside it was a bit cleaner but the furniture was in bad shape everything needed to be dusted there was rotted wood and holes in the roof to the second floors and what appeared to be an old couch with blankets and a pillow on it.
It was heartbreaking how could the goddess of the hearth and home live in such a place. Hestia was my all time favorite goddess not just because she was tiny and had nice big boobs no. it was for what she stood for. Warmth, Family and Home.
I sat down on the couch after folding up the blankets to wait for my new goddess. After about an hour she finally arrived looking exhausted apparently she works and sells just regular baked potatoes for money. She caught sight of me sitting on the couch and looked at me in confusions I just smiled and said.
"Welcome home."
She let out the biggest most pure smile I had ever seen. "I'm home."
"Nice to meet you I am Ryan I'll be your new family starting today." She lit up extra bright at that and jumped at me like a little missile with her raven twin tails flying in the air. "Family?!?! Noone ever wants to join my family they always go to that flat chested monkey loki. cause she's rich and I'm well....not rich." as she looked around her broken down shrine sadly. But still gave me an extra warm hug. it was like being next to a warm fireplace with hot cocoa on a cold winter day.
I know this little goddess loves affection and to be spoiled she also like skin contact but don't think she is some easy woman let me tell you she's over 400 million years old and still a virgin.
After a few minutes of me being smother in what appeared to be divine affection. she finally stopped to take a good look at me and then told me to "Take your shirt off so I can give you a blessing." my pure maiden soul.....
just kidding.
so I took off my shirt and layed down on the terrible couch. she pricked her finger and dropped blood in the middle of my back and notifications started blowing up my mind.
