As Lucia walked through the two massive doors before her she gasped in shock. The building was for the most part constructed out of wood and stone, and there were numerous facilities inside the Guild itself. There were stores, a kitchen, a dining hall, a teller from the Merchant’s Guild, and representatives from the Adventurer’s Guild itself. Things that seemed pretty typical for an Adventurer’s Guild.

But to her surprise, there were hundreds of corpses lying about. There were corpses of normal beasts like wolves and bears, and then there were some more exotic beasts like Cockatrices and Earth Dragons. And then there were even corpses of Goblins, Kobolds, Orcs, Ogre’s, Oni’s, Vampires, and even some Demons.

Perhaps this wouldn’t be so weird if this were in the Human Continent where the likes of these Demi-humans were actively hunted, but this was the Demon Continent which considered even the likes of Goblins as citizens. Yet here they were, tens of Goblins laid on the floor or tables being dismantled. Yet no one seemed to bat an eye.

And then there was the massive blue crystal floating in the air surrounded by two spiral stairs. Perhaps most people wouldn’t be aware of what exactly this crystal was, but as the Captain of a squad of Crusaders and a user of magic herself, Lucia was fully aware of the value of this crystal.

This crystal was to put it simply, a mana stone. To most people this stone is practically useless, you’d have to either be a talented Magic Craftsman, an Alchemist or have some aptitude of a Mage to find any use for this stone. But that didn’t mean it wasn’t rare or valuable.

As a matter of fact, it was worth several times its weight in gold. Supposedly there was even discussion among the upper echelons of the Merchant’s Guild to use it to create a standardized currency.

Yet here in front of her stood a massive mana stone, standing nearly three stories tall right in front of her. Just how much could you buy with this? Imagine if you could somehow steal this, wouldn’t you be set for life?

“Hey you, newbie”

“Y-Yes?”, Lucia turned around and saw a field of glossy green scales. She raised her head and realized that standing before her was a half naked Lizardman towering over her.

“Are you going to just stand there and block the door?”

“Huh?”, Lucia looked at the wide door way before her, and asked, “I’m blocking the doorway?”

“Of course, why don’t you come with me, brat.”

“B-Brat?”, Lucia looked around and noticed that the bustling Adventurers Guild seemed to come to a pause. Every one of the Demons, or rather Adventurers were staring at her and the Lizardman at this very moment.”

“Ah, no it’s fine I’ll just-”

The lizardman extended his massive hand, “Come with me.”

Suddenly, Lucia felt a sudden burst of strength fill her as Dewl’s armor tightened and the tentacle attached to her womb suddenly expanded by three sizes causing her to cry in shock. Lucia’s body suddenly shot up her leg raised high into the air causing the tentacles to dig further into her womb and causing her love juices to slightly ooze out before her leg came crashing down like a hammer on the Lizardman’s head.

The Lizardman’s head crashed down into the ground leaving a large hole in the Guild’s floor. Lucia turned to Dewl panicked, “Dewl, what are you doing!?”

“Protecting my property.”

“Property? I’m not yours!”

Suddenly, the Adventurers Guild erupted with cheers. Several people raised their mugs and cheered, while others stood up and slowly started clapping.

“Splendidly done newbie!”

“That was an absolutely perfect performance.”

“Rejected once again, Mich.”

“A beautiful 23rd attempt! Next time why don’t you try someone of your own race!”

The Adventurers laughed and joked around hitting each other, smacking each other, sending each other flying through the roofs, walls, windows, and floors.

Lucia looked around confused before suddenly a short Imp in a black suit walked up to her. He gave a weary smile before bowing slightly, “I’m sorry for the disturbance, are you here to put in a request?”

“Ah, no, I want to register as an Adventurer.”

“Oh?”, the imp picked his nose, and spit on the ground, “Sam get the hell down here!”

A blonde haired woman with ram horns standing atop the stairs surrounding the mana stone yelled, “Y-Yes Boss!”

She immediately jumped off the stairs and landed before the Imp, the Imp turned to her and said, “Get her registered.”

“Y-Yes sir”

The Imp walked away, and Lucia followed Sam up the stairs to the crystal, “Here you go”

Sam handed Lucia a blank brown card with several boxes lined out, and explained, “This will be your Adventurers Card, it will signify your rank and serve as proof of membership as an Adventurer. You don’t need to register with your real name, you can use an alias, but if you do so you can’t use your Adventurers at the Merchant’s Guild’s bank.”

“Now to register, all you have to the do is touch the crystal all the mandatory information will be automatically be filled out for you and added to our database. While all the optional information will be up to you to fill out through the crystal.”

Lucia nodded her head, “Okay”

She raised her hand and touched the massive mana stone, and she watched as words were silently engraved into her Adventurer’s Card. Lucia looked down and the card, and began filling the remaining fields out on her own.

Seeing that she finished filling it out, Sam asked if she could see the card, “Hmmm, Ms. Lucia D. Ewl correct?”

Lucia nodded her head, she had chosen not to use your actual name and instead replaced her last and middle name with Dewl’s name.

“Race, Living Armor?”, Sam looked up and then at the armor, and then back at the card, “I see. According to your card, you should be a B-Class Adventurer, but as a formality, all new Adventurers start out as F-Class Adventurers.”

“Normally we’d just allow people to undergo several B-Class missions to serve to advance their rank, but that has led to a number of fatalities after all the system isn’t absolute. So instead we’ve assigned you to a senior adventurer who you will have to shadow for a mission. This will allow those who’ve yet to party with anyone understand how a party works and for us to assess whether or not you can take on difficult missions on your own. And on that note.”

Sam turned around, and screamed, “Yuya!”

Suddenly, a figure bolted through the crowd and jumped up to the stairs. Lucia looked up and saw a petite catkin balancing herself. She had black, white, and orange hair and a short tail that mysteriously flowed through the air.

“Yes, ma’am?”

“Can you get Kuro, to watch over this girl? She’s a living armor rated a B-Class by the system.”

“Aye sir~”

Sam turned around and introduced the catkin, “And this is Yuya, also commonly referred to as Kuro, Shiro, and Haiiro. An A-Class brawler, mage, knight, and the S-Class party Monochrome.”

Yuya smiled and extended her hand, and when Lucia went to shake it Dewl suddenly stiffened, and screamed, “WAIT MY TRAP SENSES ARE TINGLING.”

“Your what?”
