"Could you please tell me your realm and order? But please refrain from lying. Because if you get caught you will have consequences. And believe me when i say that you WILL get caught" the receptionist warned me.
"I am currently only 1st Order lower realm" I practically whispered because i felt kind of embarrassed.
"I understand. But with your current level of power you only qualify for an F rank Adventurers license, but after you grow stronger you can always upgrade your license to a rank higher. This means you will be able to take higher rank commissions from the guild and get corresponding rewards for its completion"
I nod in understanding, even though my father has already told me everything about how the guild works.
"Its not necessary, but if you want to get invitations to join other adventurers on commissions, then you can register your element and skills by showing proof of what you are capable of." The receptionist continued.
"I would rather not disclose my element" i replied
"Its absolutely fine, here is your adventurers license" He gave me metallic kind of card looking thing that had a giant letter F on it and on the side you could see «Percival» written on it.
This looks much more basic and simple than i thought it would look like.
Over there you can see 6 different commission
boards also ranked.
Currently you can accept any of them from the F rank board.
"Thank you for everything" I thanked the receptionist for the hospitality which was literally bought with money..
I walked towards the Commission board with the Letter F marked on it.
There were tens of hundreds of commissions to choose from.
But i need to find something that would let me go outside the Capital City of our Empire of Laxoca, kill beasts and absorb their cores to grow stronger.
You would ask why couldn't I go out of the city, just like that, and hunt monsters.
Well the thing is, it is not allowed to go in or out of the capitals without a good reason.
But now that i am an adventurer i can go outside with the help of my adventurers guild license and a commission i need to complete OUTside the capital.
Quickly complete the commission i selected, hunt some more beasts for myself and then return.
I selected the one that requires one to collect two baskets of wild blackberries.... yeah okay i know, this might take time before i can go freely and do what i want... but still it was the only one that required to go outside the capital...
I NEED TO ADVANCE IN RANKS AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THIS IS BULLSHIET.
So i finally went outside the capital and now am a big step closer to evolving to the next realms
sighhh
but at first I need to find those dumbasss blackberries if i ever want to get to the fighting part..
After a whole day of not finding anything In the forest, that was supposed to be filled with those exact berries.
I already wanted to give up to be honest...
How cant there be a single berry here... i wonder
Suddenly i hear something approaching me quietly
With my heightened senses talent, i can hear things that are happening a kilometer around me, which is hella awesome, not gonna lie.
Shortly after i see a Fire like Raccoon fiercely looking at me but doesn't give off any dangerous
I grow a smile when i hear my system notify me of what is in front of me.
[Blazing Forest Raccoon]
[1st Order Middle Realm]
[Currently Host cannot copy Blazing Forest Raccoons element]
"Finally something appeared" i say with a distorted smile on my face.
The Raccoon slowly and kinda... shyly?... approaches me.
Well ig Raccoon is a Raccoon, but what the hell does it want from me?
Suddenly it jumps at me and i dodge it with ease
The raccoon growls at me.
Oh? aggressive? that's a rarity for a raccoon… i didnt even do anything to it... yet.
The Blazing Forest Raccoon fires a blazing fireball out of its mouth like some kind of dragon right at me.
While that ball of flames flies at me it grows bigger the closer it approaches me.
Now that's a little bit scary but nothing to worry about.
I activate my [Repulsing Space Barrier] just before the blaze engulfs me.
Because of the barrier that is separating the space, the heat doesn't reach me and i feel nothing. It's as if I was just walking around the park on a normal day.
The Raccoon looks as if its smiling with satisfaction for itself.
But when the fire disappears and it sees me just standing there casually it looks like its brain shut down for a few seconds.
Using my skill [Space Steps] I move up about 10 meters in the air and jump head down from the solid ground made from my space element with full force at the still stunned raccoon.
I reach with my arm towards it, put all my fingers together and point it at the blaze racoon. I use my only, but definetly not in ranks of the weak skill.
I engulf my whole palm with a kind of distorted space
_________________________________________________
[Space blade]
User can distort the space around one of their palms and engulf it to make a blade that can cut through almost anything it touches. Anything it touches will be turned into nothingness as if it never existed.
_________________________________________________
But when i am just about to hit it with full force.
The Raccoon wakes up and dodges running forward with speed reaching 20 km per hour leaving a fiery trail behind it.
I pierce into the ground with my hand, and disintegrate the earth that was in the way of the space blade. My whole arm gets buried under the ground.
I get it out with relative ease and say while reaching towards the cowardly raccoon:
"I should have trapped it to begin with... not thinking while fighting leads to mistakes... I need more experience.."
And then whisper to myself:
"Engulf"
