Chapter 7 - CHAPTER 7 THE FIRST QUEST

•The City of Ekinisi•

It was not a very large city but there were numerous buildings for two stories with a very lively environment. Most of the houses and buildings in the city had a very Eastern Asian type roofs but of different colours. The houses in front of the group were all simple which belonged to the normal citizens.

Further there was a market which was teeming with people from all sorts of races such as elves, dwarfs and humans.

At the center of the city was a monolith which had descriptions of all the previous kings of the city and also the heroes who had once saved the world from the overlord.

Right nest to the monolith was a beautiful fountain with the statue of a priestess in the middle.

•Ekinisi Market•

There were many people hoing back and forth on the streets which were made of stoned paths.

People were bargaining about the prices of the goods as the group passed through the market.

"Isn't it lovely out here?"

Tias asks the while looking back at Zae, Noto and Kiri

"Yea, the people here all seems cheerful"

Noto replies with a smile while the other two nods

"Right ahead of here is an adventurer guild, We'll be reporting our quest there. If you want you can come with us and register yourself"

Reva adds while looking back and pointing at the direction of the guild hall which was quite big in comparison to the buildings present at the city.

The building had an orange plated roof with white stone walls and a bunch of flowers growing beside the entrance. It was more like a flower shop than a guild hall. Right in front of the entrance was a huge banner with the logo of the guild.

"Is that the guild hall?"

Zae points at the guild hall and asks Reva

"It looks more like a flower shop than a guild hall"

Kiri adds

"Hey don't think too much about it, the guild master is a girl after all"

Tias replies with a faint sign of anger.

"Well lets just get in and see what it has to offer to us"

Noto adds while the group starts walking towards to entrance of the guild hall.

SFX:bamm

"Get out of my way!!"

A huge man appears from the entrance of the guildhall weilding a greatsword on his back and a black iron armour.

He pushes a person down while coming out of the guildhall.

"Hey Guzo, do you mind not being so rough on others"

Reva with a serious expression and a posture which was ready to fight. The huge guy Guzo also had a very domineering stance. He turned his head towards where the voice came from just to see Reva standing there ready to fight.

Zae with a faint smile on his cheeks

"Oh its you master Reva, Welcome welcome, I won't be rough anymore"

Guzo suddenly changes stance to very lady like woman who was welcoming a customer to her shop.

"Good that you understand now step aside"

Reva with a very evil look on his face while going and patting on Guzo's shoulder.

"Yes i understand i will go now"

As soon as he says these words Guzo runs towards the market as fast as he could while screaming.

"Eh?"

Zae,Kiri and Noto with a disgusted expression.

"Who was he and why is he so scared of Reva?"

Noto asks Tias.

"Oh don't mind him"

Tias replies

"He's Guzo one of the guild's adventurer, he is known for his domineering and brutal manner though he is very weak when compared to us, he likes bullying weak people. He is ranked 1 in the bronze category of the guild."

Reva joins in the explanation

"Yea, He once tried to bully Reva but was beaten unconscious by him, since then he started referring to Reva as master and has avoided him since then"

Tias adds.

"Sad for him"

The trio nods in unity

"Enough with the small talks lets go in, i want to report the quest and take a rest for today."

Reva adds while turning towards the door and walks slowly in. Tias and the rest follows him as soon as he enters the guildhall.

SFX:Noices

"four more beer here miss"

A random guy sitting on a table with 3 other guys orders

"Ok four beers for table 3 coming up"

The maid who was standing near the reception attends to the order and delivers the beer with the help of magic.

Zae adds the skills of the maid in his copy memory

"Is this the guild?"

Noto asks hesitantly

"It may not seem like it but yes, come follow me, the reception is on the other side"

Reva replies

"Master Reva you're back and you too Mistress Tias"

The receptionist welcomes them warmly with a warm smile

"Are you done with your quest already?"

The receptionist adds

"Yea, We're back here is our card"

SFX:swoosh a card appears

"Thank you so much, 100 mystic wolves killed, hmmp thats your 50th B rank quest completed, would you like to advance to diamond rank?"

The receptionist asks with a warm smile

"Sure go ahead"

Reva replies

"Sure, can you lend me your badges for a second"

The receptionist asks

"Okay sure... here you go"

Reva and Tias gets their badge from their pocket and hands it over to the receptionist

"Thanks for the wait, the reward of 500 medium class crystals has been added to your cards and congratulations on achieving rank 32 diamond class..... Here you go"

The receptionist congratulates Tias and Reva for their promotion and hands over their cards and diamond badges back to them.

"Emm... Thank you"

Reva and Tias thanks the receptionist and comes over to The tiro.

"You can go register now, we'll help you with the forms"

Reva appeals to the trio

"Before that can you explain to us about the rankings here?"

Kiri asks

"Ahhh, Asu you take over here, I'm tired today I'll go get us some drinks"

Reva with a reluctant tone

"Don't mind him, lets go get a table"

Tias adds.

They go and find themselves a medium size table for 6 and sits down

"The rankings of this guild is divided into Seven classes.

Bronze,Silver,Gold,Platinum,Diamond,Mithril and Adamantine

while adamantine being the highest class and bronze being the lowest"

Tias explains while Reva comes back with food and drinks for everyone and places them on the table

"Ohh so you guys are diamond that means you two must be very strong"

Noto adds

"It may not be the case"

Tias gives a doubtful smile

"In this guild we increase our ranks through completing quests not through our stats"

Reva joins in

"Yea, If you complete a certain number of higher difficulty quests then you have the choice to advance your rankings or stay in the number 1 position of your current class"

Tias adds while Reva and the rest slowly takes a sip of the orange juice that Reva had just brought

"So you if we are bronze class and we complete a E rank quest a required number of times then we can advance classes."

Zae asks

"Yea thats about it"

Tias while taking a sip of her juice aswell

After they had a thorough discussion of the ranking system and everything they went to the receptionist to register themselves as adventurers as they really needed a way to earn money their pride and self esteem couldn't let them freeload on someone.

"We would like to register as adventurers please"

Zae goes forwards to the receptionist while Kiri and Noto follows him from behind

"Sure just fill these forms up and you'll be registered asap"

The receptionist hands out the registration form to the trio

The form had unusual letters in it which the trio had never seen before.

Zae thinks while looking at the form

"You guys that's the language of this country Behemo you won't understand it you need to buy a skill for that, here take it consider it as a return gift for letting us stay with you that night."

Reva tosses three scrolls, one to each one of them, the three grabs them.

"Thank you so much, you're a lot of help"

Noto thanks Reva and the other two follows up with a nod

[Language translation(Written)(passive)

A skill which allows the user to see the words as to what he knows to read and write. The user is able to write the language in the form of his own understanding but the words will be translated to the original script.

Would you like to learn this skill?

Yes or No]

A sudden notification pops up

SFX:press

"Wow now i can understand what's in the paper"

Zae was so excited to see that he could read the form like a kid who was given a candy

They all filled the form and submitted it to the receptionist

"Okay Zae Crozo a front line bronze class adventurer has been registered.

Kiri Duoro an assassin type bronze class adventurer has been registered

And lastly, Noto Zanshi and technician bronze class adventurer has been registered.

Here are your guild cards you can accept quests and their rewards using the guild card and it can also be used as indenty cards.

It will be 30 low class crystals

Thank you so much for registering"

The receptionist adds.

"What? 30 low class crystals? we don't have any on us"

Zae replies the receptionist while taking his card

"Don't worry dear adventurer, you can pay it by completing any quest on the quest board right next to the bar"

The receptionist adds.

"Oh ok sure then thank you so much for your hard work"

Noto thanks the receptionist and the other two nods and moves on to the quest board to pick a quest

"We'll be going off for now, Are you guys going to do a quest?"

Reva asks while he and Tias gets ready to go out of the guild hall

"Yea, or we wont be able to pay for our registration"

Zae replies with a frowning face

"Its just 10 low class crystals each, let us pay for you"

Reva while checking his pouch for crystals

"No worries we don't want to be in debt we'll pay them ourselves, you've done so much for us already"

Kiri adds

"Oh thats the case then ok we'll be leaving now if you need anything just send me a text"

Reva while disappearing from the sight of the trio

"Well then which quest should we pick all of them seems so easy but the rewards are all so small"

Zae frowns

"Lets see there's an F rank quest hunting slimes, neeh its too boring

Then there's an E rank quest Defeating some rabid monsters, neeh its

so easy i dont want to do it.

Ohh there's an interesting one look guys,"

Zae says these excitedly as he sees a quest that he liked. Kiri and Noto didn't care about what quest were to be picked as they knew they would have to go with the quest that Zae chooses so they just stood back and watched

"Oh a bandit capturing quest and D rank at that, the rewards are also quite nice 20 medium class crystals"

Noto replies to Zae's suggestion

"Lets take it then"

Kiri adds

"How do we accept the quest now?"

Zae touches the D rank quest on the quest board and a notification suddenly pops up

(D rank quest

Yes or No?)

SFX: press

"well thats quite convenient"

Zae adds while pressing the yes button on the notification followed by Kiri and Noto.

"Well then if we have nothing more to do... lets head out and catch some bandits"

Zae with a very excited look on his face, the other two had the same expression too as it was they first quest they were ever gonna do in this world after getting their powers.
