Pete looked back and saw the adventurer's he saw back at the guild and said,
"What do you mean by that "
Morsh said,
"They are here to mess with you "
Pete said,
"NO, they are not here to mess with me "
The leader of the group said,
"So, you still talk to yourself "
Pete said,
"Yes, I talk to myself"
The leader of the group said,
"Why don't you follow me then, I will show something special "
Pete said with a big smile,
"Ok lead the way "
Pete then followed the group,
The girl of the group said to the leader,
"Boss we should get supplies and head toward forest before night "
The leader replied,
"Don't worry there is a lot of time, for now I am going to teach this son of a bitch a lesson "
Morsh was listening and said inwardly,
'So, they are going to the forest'
Pete said curiously,
"Why are you going to the forest "
The leader of the group said,
"We are going to hunt some orcs "
Pete said,
"Wow, you guys can hunt an orc "
The girl coldly said,
"Do you think we are weak as you "
The group stopped behind a house and surrounded Pete and the leader of the group said,
"We need money for our supplies, you should contribute for our supplies"
Morsh said,
"Why are they acting like Beggers "
Pete started laughing when he heard this,
The group became angry when they saw Pete was laughing so the two of them grabbed Pete,
Pete said when he was grabbed,
"What are you doing "
The leader said,
"We will now beat you up and take whatever you have after we beat you half death "
The leader then punched Pete's stomach and then punched his face,
Pete didn't feel much pain and said,
"You can take all the money but don't hurt me "
Morsh said,
"What are you doing, at least defend yourself and you don't have any money"
Pete said,
"No, I am a hero, and I can't attack the people I am saving "
The group started laughing hearing this and the leader of the group said,
" Look at this idiot, he thinks he is a hero "
The group started laughing more loudly,
Morsh said inwardly,
'You fuckers are dead until morning, how dare you punch the body that I share '
'This idiot is not even defending himself'
Morsh thought for a moment and said with a sinister smile,
"Pete if you don't defend yourself then your power will activate, and you already know what kind of stuff you do when that power is activated "
A serious expression took over Pete face and he said,
"I am sorry this is for your own good "
The leader was still laughing and said,
"So, you are sorry now "
Pete punched the leader on his face so fast that he couldn't even react,
The leader went flying for couple of meters with a broken nose and blood coming from his nose and mouth,
The other member of group were shocked as they just saw their leader flying away,
Before they could grasp the situation Pete ran off saying,
"I am sorry this is for your own good "
When the other members came to their senses they rushed toward their leader and said,
"Let's bring him to a healer "
Pete stopped running when he reached the inn and he said to the old man,
"Hello sir, can I have something to eat "
The old man mouth opened with shock by what he just heard,
"You are talking to me with this much respect... am I dreaming"
Pete said,
"No sir this is not a dream and I always respect the old "
The old man expression changed as an angry expression took over and he said angrily,
"I knew you were upto something, you disrespectful brat, how dare you call me old "
Pete backed off a little and said,
"I am sorry sir "
The old man said,
"This is your first mistake, so I forgive you but don't call me old again, I am just 5 year older than you "
Pete said,
"So may I have something to eat now "
The old man nodded and said,
"Go sit there or go to your room "
Pete was surprised when he heard that he could go to his room, so he said,
"You can send food to my room "
The old man said,
"You have rented a high standard room and there is dining table for some reason there "
Pete laughed and said,
"Ok sir I will go to my room "
Pete then headed toward his room,
Pete went to take a bath when he entered his room and after he came out, he saw the food was already on the table and said,
"Hmm... so the food has already arrived "
Pete then dressed up and ate the food and simply lied on the bed,
*knock knock*
Pete heard that someone knocking on the door so he stood up and opened the door,
The young was standing there in a maid uniform and said,
"I am here to take the plates "
Pete moved to the side and said,
"Ohh... please come in "
The young girl started cleaning the table,
Pete was looking at the girl and thought,
'She is beautiful... should I tell her that I am a hero so that she will join my harem'
Morsh was watching Pete and said,
"Hey, are you going to do the same as you did to the little boy "
Pete said loudly,
"No"
The young girl looked back and said,
"Did I make a mistake sir "
Pete said,
"No, I was talking to myself "
The young girl mistook his meaning and thought of it as a sarcasm and said with her head down,
"I am sorry sir "
Morsh said,
"Look you are making a little girl sad"
Pete looked at the young girl and said,
"I was really talking to myself, I am sorry if I made you feel bad "
The young girl looked at Pete and said,
"Ohh... I thought I made a mistake "
Pete then said,
"So, do you work here "
The girl didn't reply and Pete thought,
'Is she playing hard to get '
Morsh said,
"Ofcourse she works here, can't you see yourself, ask something reasonable "
Pete thought for a moment but can't think of anything and said,
"Morsh please tell me something to ask her "
Morsh said inwardly,
'He can't even talk to a girl '
Morsh said,
"What will I get in return "
Pete thought for a moment and said,
"How can I give something to you "
Morsh said,
"You have to do three things I say"
Pete nodded with a big smile and said,
"Ok done "
Morsh said,
"Go close to her "
Pete walked toward the girl and stopped two steps away from the girl,
Morsh said,
"Now ask her name "
Pete said with a low voice,
"Wa... what is your.... n..name "
The girl looked at him with strange look and said,
"My name is Hana "
She then left the room with the plates and closed the door after her,
Pete was smiling and happily said,
"You saw that Morsh, I had a conversation with a girl "
Morsh mouth was opened with shock as what he just saw, he said,
"You say that a conversation, you blew up your chance in first word "
Pete embarrassingly said,
"No, she totally fell for me, why would she tell me her name then "
Morsh said,
"Because of the clear fact that you are a customer of the establishment, and she is a worker here "
Pete became sad and said,
"Is there a way to fix it then "
Morsh said,
"There is a way but that depends upon what you offer "
Pete said,
"I will do everything you say for a whole day "
Morsh said,
"Ok deal, I will set up a date for you tomorrow so keep it calm when you take over tomorrow "
Pete was overjoyed when he heard this and thought,
'This is great, I was worried how I am going to talk to girls to add them in my harem but now Morsh can do the talking for me'
Pete happily said,
"Thank you Morsh, you are the best "
Morsh said inwardly,
'I will let you feel the sadness and agony when your loved one dies, and you can't do anything to help them'
Pete realized that he has no money now and said,
"I need money for the date, I should go get a quest "
Pete then got out of the inn and walked toward the adventurer's guild,
He reached the market and headed toward the adventurer's guild,
Morsh thought,
'The market is crowded from peoples which doesn't look like they are from this village, so the mercenaries from other branches already arrived,'
'The inn was also crowded, it looks like I am going to collect a lot of souls tonight '
Pete didn't notice anything and reached the adventurer's guild,
Pete entered the guild and walked toward Ruby,
Morsh looked around and said inwardly,
'This place is crowded too, and these guys are not even taking any quests, are they here as a precaution '
Ruby was busy with documents and Pete walked up to her and said,
"Hello, I am here for a quest "
Morsh thought,
'He is talking to this girl without any problem but why can't he talk to the girl from the inn'
'Does he not realize this'
Ruby said without looking up,
"Go to the notice board "
Pete said,
"But I can't read "
Ruby looked up and said,
"Oh, it's you, wait for a moment "
Ruby then searched through a pile of documents on the table and took out a paper and said,
"There are only letter delivery quest and herb collection quest for iron rank"
Pete said,
"I will do the letter delivering one "
Ruby said,
"Hmm... this can be dangerous for an iron rank "
Pete said,
"What so difficult about letter delivering "
Ruby said,
"You have to go into the forest for this "
Pete asked with confusion,
"Who is living in a forest.? "
Ruby said,
"You have to deliver this to a party of adventurers that have gone into the forest today "
Pete said,
"Oh... is that so, what's in that letter "
Ruby said,
"It's a callback from the quest "
Pete asked,
"What's a callback "
Ruby said,
"We call back the adventurers from the quest when we need them for something or when the quest is cancelled or it's rank increased"
Pete said,
"Ok I will accept this quest "
Ruby handed Pete the letter and said,
"Deliver this letter to the party called Mercy "
Pete nodded and started walking toward the forest, when he reached the village entrance he saw two guards,
Pete walked toward the guard and stopped a few steps away from the guards and said,
"Hello Mr. guard, have you seen a group of adventurers leaving from here "
One of the guards said,
"Yes, a group of adventurers left from here a few hours ago "
Pete said,
"Thank you, Mr. guard "
Pete then walked out of the village and entered the forest,
After half an hour of walking he saw smoke in a distance,
"Looks like the adventurers are there "
After couple of minutes, he reached an open area and saw a couple of people, some were sitting around the fire and some were on watchout,
Morsh said,
"This is quite a large party, there are around 9 adventurers in this party "
One of the party members saw Pete coming toward them and signaled everyone,
Every member of the group took out their weapons and aimed toward Pete,
Pete lifted his hands up in air and said,
"I am just here on a quest to deliver a letter from adventurer's guild to party called Mercy"
One of the adventurers came toward Pete and said,
"We are the mercy, give me the letter "
Pete handed over the letter and said,
"I delivered the letter so I should go now "
The adventurer that came near Pete said,
"Stop "
Pete stopped and the adventurer took out a piece of paper from his sidebag and wrote something on it and took out a stamp from sidebag and stamped on the piece of paper and the stamp shone with blue light,
Then he handed that paper to Pete and said,
"Here take this "
Pete curiously asked,
"What is this.? "
The adventurer saw the iron badge of Pete and said,
"I think you are new, this is proof that you completed your quest "
Pete said,
"Oh...Thank you "
Pete then turned around and walked toward the village,
