Julius flew back to the guild office once again making a gravel golem around himself, this gravel golem however was now 2 meters tall instead of just 1 meter tall.
Julius-"my golem is taller now that it was before"
Voice-"it's because your mana is higher than before plus your higher level"
Julius-"nice finally I'm taller than most of the people around me"
Voice-"this must be the first time in your life you have felt tall"
Julius-"hey I wasn't short before I became an atom"
Voice-"actually in one of our previous conversations you stated "Is this some kind of cosmic joke I was short before but seriously?""
Julius-"that was just an exaggeration, besides you can't ruin my mood now because I'm about to become an adventurer and go on epic quests"
Julius walks into the guild office again.
Guild receptionist-"are you the same person from this morning?"
Julius-"yes I am, and I'm level 10 now so I would like to become an adventurer, you're probably wondering how I leveled up so fast right?"
Guild receptionist-"I don't really care"
Julius-"but have you seen someone level up this fast before?"
Guild receptionist-"no I haven't"
Julius-"then why don't you care"
Guild receptionist-"because I'm just doing my job now since you meet the level requirement just go ahead and write your name, species, and place of origin down on this paper to become an official guild member"
Julius writes his name down and then gets to the species line.
Julius-"why do I need to write down my species?"
Guild receptionist-"I don't know it's just company policy"
Julius in his mind-"what should I write down I can't write down sentient atom, hey voice are fairies an intelligent species in this world"
Voice-"yes fairies do exist in this world and do count as intelligent life along with being able to cast spells"
Julius then writes fairy as his species.
Guild receptionist-"oh so are you inside of that golem right now for some reason"
Julius-"um yeah I'm just uh... embarrassed about my hight you know"
Julius-"now for my place of origin, um the forest, since I'm a fairy"
Guild receptionist-"which forest?"
Julius-"the uh fairy forest"
The two of them look at each other.
Guild receptionist-"uh sure, well here is your adventuring license"
Julius-"yes, thank you sir"
Julius walks out of the guild office.
Julius-"can you believe that just happened voice"
Voice-"yes it's surprising you actually admitted that you were small"
Julius-"no not that"
Voice-"that you are that terrible of a liar and socially awkward"
Julius-"no, that I'm an adventurer now"
Voice-"congratulations now what is your next objective"
Julius-"well I'll see what quests are available to go on"
Julius then walks up to the quest board.
Julius-"not many quests and most of them are either just errands or way out of my league, this one looks good a D rank quest to help a nobleman cross through the forest to his home kingdom, I guess he was on vacation here"
Julius writes his name down on the quest paper and heads to the location, that being a small hotel near the edge of town. Once he arrives there Julius sees a small group of adventurers consisting of three elves and two humans.
Julius-"hello there, my name is Julius and I'm joining this quest"
One of the humans replies-"hey I'm Joe nice to meet you"
One of the elves also replies-"I'm Elise welcome to the group"
Julius-"finally it's good to meet some nice people, everyone I've talked to recently has been pretty rude"
One of the other elves walks up -"hey I'm Adam, and yeah tensions have been high around here recently it's probably the reason that the nobleman is heading back home"
Julius in his head-"I'm guessing these 'tensions' aren't the reason for your terrible personality"
Voice-"how rude they seem to be nice to you"
Julius in his head-"I was talking about you"
Julius-"why are things tense"
Adam-"because of the war obviously"
Julius in his mind-"there is a war!?"
Julius-"ah yes the war of course between the kingdoms of..."
Adam-"depends where you look it's a tangled mess can't blame you for being confused battles start between two kingdoms randomly there is a conspiracy that somebody is behind it but that's only rumors, me and my sister try to distance ourselves from all that"
Julius-"the rumors or the war in general"
Adam-"both"
Julius-"so when this quest is done what do you plan on spending the coins on?"
Adam-"the coin count is actually pretty low in reality crossing through the forest like this should have been a C rank quest but the nobleman didn't want to pay up that much money"
Julius-"what ranks are you and your sister"
Adam-"the both of us are C ranks but we are going on this escort quest because we were already heading out of town this just seemed like a way to get some more coins on the way there"
Julius-"I see, now I feel underprepared only being an E rank with this being my first quest are the others C rank too?"
Adam-"no the other elf and the two humans are all D ranks but it should be fine the only reason this should be a C rank quest is because of the chance of a strong monster appearing but it's not likely it's why the nobleman got away with making this a D rank quest"
Julius-"I see well I'll help in anyway I can I have a healing skill if that helps"
Adam-"somebody with healing is always helpful the other elf has a healing skill as well, I'm assuming your a mage and not a fighter"
Julius-"yeah I guess I would be a mage"
Adam-"say uh, why am I talking to you through a golem are you standing around somewhere nearby?"
Julius-"actually I'm a fairy and I'm sitting inside this golem for uh protection"
Adam-"interesting, oh look the nobleman is coming over now"
Nobleman-"so these are the adventurers helping me out today any of you lot know the best way to get through"
Adam-"yes me and my sister are forest elves so we can guide through"
Nobleman-"alright then, hey where is the person controlling that golem"
Julius-"oh um I'm a fairy I'm piloting the golem from the inside"
Nobleman-"alright fine well pick up this chair and carry me"
Julius-"what, um ok"
Julius reaches out for the nobleman.
Nobleman-"not like that you barbarous heathen"
Julius-"but you said-"
Nobleman-"pick up the chair and I'll sit in it, and you better be sturdy I don't want a bumpy ride"
Julius-"why don't you just walk yourself"
The other adventurers look at Julius shocked making faces that make it clear they think he should stop"
Nobleman-"you dare question my authority do you know who I am!?"
Julius-"um"
Julius looks out at Adam and he in a worried face mouths out the name. Julius reads it out.
Julius-"Your name is Williams right?"
Nobleman-"It's sir Williams the third and if I wanted to I could buy entire entire land your house sits on do you understand"
Julius-"I don't live in a house"
Sir Williams seethes in anger but then calms himself.
Nobleman-"(speaking to himself) relax Williams your wife said to try to control your temper breath in 'inhales' and breath out 'exhales' now pick up the chair I can't risk getting my tailor made suit getting torn and muddied"
Julius-"understood sir"
Julius in his mind-"I need to make sure I keep him as steady as possible I don't want to risk getting him upset again"
Julius using his alloy skill creates a spring suspension system on his arms attached to the fancy chair.
Nobleman-"whats that?"
Julius-"this should make the ride more comfortable"
Nobleman-"very well (he sits in his chair) let's be off then (he claps his hands as he says this)"
Voice-"you're really bad at talking to higher up individuals aren't you"
Julius in his head-"yeah I'll admit I even had problems talking to my bosses back in my old life too"
Voice-"so your old bosses were taller than you too"
Julius in his head-"seriously I thought you were talking about higher social standing"
Voice-"yeah that too, especially since your so bad at being social"
Julius in his head-"why do you have to be so rude"
Voice-"how would I not be after that embarrassing display"
Julius in his head-"let's just get this over with"
One of the two human adventurers grabs the nobleman's large amount of luggage clearly having a high strength stat being able to carry so much.
The group heads into the forest panning up there is a storm that is slowly approaching over the horizon towards the forest.
