Chapter 1 - Finally here...

A tall (1.93 meters) bearded old man with a scar on his right eye, his left eye glowing with an ominuous purple glow, carrying with him a lot of weapons and wearing an old white shirt with black pants and black boots, was looking at one of the gates of Orario, the dungeon city.

He could see a line of peolple, some looked wealthy, maybe merchants with their bodyguards, others looked like farmers carrying bags and a few looked like warriors carrying with them swords and daggers.

As he was aproaching the line he could see some guards taking notes

'maybe they are keeping a history about the people that enters and left the city' wondered the old man.

Once he was in the back of the line, he could hear what the guards were saying to someone that looked like a warrior.

Guard 1: "Returning from a mission?"

Warrior: " Yeah, was tasked with killing a den of goblins, nothing troublesome at least"

Guard 2: "well, here are you papers qnd don´t forget to come back to renew your certificate of stay"

Warrior: "of course, i don´t want trouble"

Guard 1 : "take care brother"

Warrior : "of course and you too"

After the little chat he heard, he looked through his pouch to check if he had his money on him, wich he had, after that he could hear whispers about him, and who wouldn´t whisp about him if he looked menacing enough for an old man. Soon enough he started to ignore those whispers and think about other things until it was his turn.

After 15 minutes, it was finally his turn, and it proceded like normal with the guards asking some questions like name, age, height and gender (wich was very apparent) to fill the paperwork so he could pay the fee por the certificate of stay.

Once it was all over, our old man said to himself

???: "Finally here, Orario, the dungeon city. I wonder if i can finally fulfill my promise here"

After that he started walking towards the huge tower that was caracteristic of Orario. Through his 10 minutes walking, the people around him would look at him for a moment and whisper something and then proceed with their own thing, and among the people that would do that he could sense that some were gods but he ignored what they said. Once he arrived at the base of the huge tower he saw a building with a lot of people entering and leaving, so he thought that it was some kind of people services build and he went towards it.

Once inside he looked around himself and saw a lot of warriors or as they are know, adventurers. While he looked around a short girl with pink hair wearing a black and white uniform noticed him ( who would not, he was a massive old man ) and went towards him and said with a happy tone.

Pink haired girl: "Hello sir, my name is Misha flott, can i help you with something?"

???: " oh, hello Misha, my name is Clarion, can you lead me to someone that can help me find a familia?"

Misha: "well then, i can help you with that, follow me please"

As misha led Clarion to her office, he wondered if he could find a place to eat. Once they arrived at her office she asked him some basic things lime age, height and race while writing in a paper.

Misha: " well now that i have the basic information, Do you have a preference when picking a familia?

Clarion: "i prefer the familias that venture into the dungeon"

Misha: " well then, here you have some familias that fulfill your preference that are recruiting, would you like me to send. your application to every familia or some specific?

On the papers he could see some famous names like loki familia or ganesha familia.

Clarion: "if you could send my application to every familia, i would appreciate it very much miss misha"

Misha: "i will do it and there is no need to call me miss, it makes me feel older hehe"

Clarion: "as you wish misha, and thank you very much"

Misha: "you are welcome Clarion, if a familia answers to your applicstion i will notificate you, are you staying in some inn? so you can leave me an adress to search for you"

Clarion: "i am not staying in an inn, as i recently arrived here, can you recommend me one?"

Misha: "there is a pub near here called Hostess of Fertility that also rents rooms for adventurers. If you follow the road parallel to the guild´s road you wilm find it. It is a two story building made of stone that has the depth of a neat inn. As it is located along the Western Main Street, it is usually filled with a lot of customers. The front entrance has a set of double doors with wood carvings decorating the frame so you won´t miss it."

Clarion: " thank you very much misha"

After they said their goodbye and marched on their way, clarion noticed it was darkening already so he was looking for the inn and after a 5 minutes walk he found it, when he entered he was welcomed with the sight of drunken adventurers trying to flirt with the girls that worked here and some others adventurers eating with a joyfull expression.

As he was looking around a tall woman aproached him and welcomed him with a pretty loud tone.

???: "welcome to the Hostess of Fertility old man, looking for something?"

Clarion: "Yes, a guild employee told me that this place rents rooms, my name is Clarion and yours miss?"

???: "yeah we do that, it is 700 valis a night without meals and 1k with meals, the name is Mia Grande old man Clarion"

Clarion:"i´ll pay the room with meals and i´ll stay for a week"

Mia Grande: "well it will cost you 7k then old man"

As clarion hands her the money she asked an elven girl to guide him to the room. The short walk to the room was made in silence until they arrived at the door.

Elf girl: "here is your key, the meals are at high noon and at evening, have a good night"

Clarion:"have a good night"

After their little farewell, clarion could see that the room was cozy enough to rest and that the bed was large enough to fit him, the room had a shower and a wardrobe, as he laid down his weapons he prepared to take a shower and then proceed to the bed.

Clarion: "Finally here, i wonder if i can fulfill my promise here" and he drifted to sleep.
