Eros and I were walking down the street, just making small talk, while walking to the guild hall.

“I have a question”, Eros said. “Where are we going exactly?”

“We are going to the guild hall”, I said. “Did I not say that before?”

“No, you didn't”, answered Eros. “Though, why are we going to the guild hall?”

“We are going to disband your current group, and make a new group”, I explained, in a carefree sounding voice.

“Why not just be in the group we are in now? I mean, it's just us now”, Eros asked, with a confused face.

“We are going to continue to complete quests, right?”, I ask.

“Yes we are”, answered Eros, with a confused face.

“And when you accept a quest, they look back at your recent history. Don't they?”, I ask.

“Yes they do”, answered Eros, while beginning to understand my reasoning.

“Now, answer me this. Which is better?

Number one; A group that has only completed two quests these last few months. One very quest, and one normal quest that resulted in the death of almost all the member.

Number two; A group with a blank slate,” I said.

“Number two”, Eros answered, with an understanding face.

“That right. That's why we are disbanding the group, and making a new one”, I said, while looking over at the Adventurers guild´s hall.

We walked over to the guild hall and got inside.

There weren't many people in line today, so we quickly got to the counter. The same lady was there.

“Hello”, she said, with a business smile. “What can I do for you today?”

“Hello, we would like to disband our group”, I told her, with a smile on my face.

“Is there any particular reason for this?”, she asked, with a concerned face.

“Our last quest resulted in major losses. We were the only ones who survived”, I said, in a calm voice.

“My condolences”, she said, after a few seconds of silence. She was probably surprised by my calm voice.

“No worries. Now, how about the group disbanding”, I ask her.

“Of course. Before I can disband the group, I will need the permission from the group leader. Eros, are you okay with your group disbanding?”, she asked Eros.

Eros just nodded, without saying a word. He was probably a little depressed, from being reminded of their deaths.

“Okay, with that your group is officially disbanded. You were saying something about starting a new one immediately?”, she asked me, with her business smile returning.

“Yes, I did”, I said, with a smile.

“Okay, what will the group positions be?”, she asked.

“I will be the leader, and Eros will be co-leader”, I said while giving Eros a clap on the back. My bare fist hurt like I had just hit solid iron.

“Okay, what will your group name be? Just note that you don't need to have one”, She said.

Shit. Can't come up with a good name. I'll just do it later.

“Is it possible to give it a name later on?”, I ask, with a concerned face.

“Yes, it is. I take it that you aren't going to name it?”, she asks.

I nod to her question.

“Okay, and with that, your group is now official. Hope you go on some great adventures!”, he says as she hands me a card. On it, it says that I'm the official leader of Unnamed group#4312. Super. I should probably name it soon.

I head towards the exit until Eros pokes me on my shoulder.

“Yes, what is it?”, I ask him.

“I'm gonna go over to the training area”, he said.

“To train with your bow?”, I ask.

“Actually not. I'm gonna start practicing with melee weapons now. With my enhanced body, I would be much more compatible fighting with melee weapons, instead of shooting with a bow and arrow”, he explains.

“Fair enough. See you at the Inn”, I said, and with that, I head to the Inn.

When I got to the Inn, I began to think about what to do. Right now, I had two choices. Number one; Go to sleep.

I am very tired right now, so going to sleep would seem to be the optimal choice. But, it's not that late, and if I go to bed now, I will not be able to sleep in the morning.

Number two; Studying.

I did not know that many spells, so learning more would be useful. And, as my mana reserves have grown some since last time, I studied.

Studying it is, I thought, as I walked over to the bag with the books.

I pulled out the three book I had. I had one about the basics of mana, one about shapeshifting, and one about primal magic.

I have already read all the pages of the mana basics book, so that leaves shapeshifting and primal magic. I should just go with shapeshifting at the start since I don't even know if I'm powerful enough for it.

I took the shapeshifting book. I, as expected, did not understand the spells, but I felt as the words make more sense now.

Well, primal magic it is.

I looked through the book while deciding which kind of magic to memorize. While you might think it was easy to decide what to memorize, but it wasn't. There were so many kinds of things to pick, and I wanted all of them, but I knew I couldn't do that.

After a good hour, I finally decided which kind to memorize. Enhancement magic.

As the name implies, it enhances things. I focused on the, enhancing living stuff, stuff.

I learned the spells:

Minor speed enhance: Increases your running speed.

Minor strength enhance: Makes you stronger

Minor general enhancement: Increases every physical thing about you.

Now, let the testing commence, I thought.

I could see the description of each spell. They would tell you what they did, but not to what capacity. Because of that, I had to test each spell.

First I tested the Minor speed enhance. It said that it would increase your running speed, but what physical effects would I be granted when I cast the spell on myself?

I cast the spell and immediately understood why I would be faster, for the next couple of minutes. It took a few seconds, for the effects of the spell to take place. It started with a tingly feeling in my feet, and then it slowly traveled up my legs. When it was done I felt lighter, and I now had some pretty good reflexes in my legs.

When I get used to this, I should be able to run quite fast. On to the next spell!

The next spell was Minor strength enhance. For this, I had a few questions to ask myself. When the spell increases your strength, Is it by a fixed number or is it by a certain percentage? As of right now, I would not be able to find an answer. You would need at least two people, and some weight, to find a precise answer.

I cast the spell on myself. While the Minor speed enhances was almost only in my lower half, Minor strength enhance was in a lot of my body. I guessed that this was because of a wide variety of muscles you use for weightlifting. This time I could actually test the spell a little. Because it increased my strength, why not try to lift something that I could not lift before? I looked around and decided to lift the bed.

I walked over to it and grabbed the underside. When I tried to lift it, I did not expect to actually lift it, but I did. I was so amazed by it, that my hands slipped. The bed fell down in a loud bang. I checked the bed for damage, and luckily there was none.

Quite a big boost to my strength, but I should be careful when using it. Don't want to crack a skull, when I pat somebody on the head. On to the next one!

The next, and last, one was quite special. the spell was a Minor general enhancement. While the last ones were focusing on a specific task, this one was supposed to be, focusing on everything. I did not really understand when it said everything. Did it mean everything physical, or did it mean everything like aging or metabolism? If it did something like that, I would never use it. Would it even be in this book if it did something like that? Or, is it in the book to showcase that some spells are better than others? No, that would be stupid. Or would it? I give up. Can't guess it.

Well, the only way to know is to try, I thought, with an excited smile on my face.

I cast the spell, and then I felt it. The description was not kidding when it said that everything was enhanced. When the other spells were being cast, I felt this weird tingling feeling. It was okay, as it only was a specified area. This spell wasn't. I could feel tingling under my eyes. It did not feel bad, nor did it hurt. It just felt weird.

When the spell was being cast, I had unknowingly closed my eyes. It was quite good I did that because when I opened them, everything was too bright. I guessed that this spell was only supposed to be used at night time, or in a darker area.

I could not see when the spell was active, so I had to wait for the spell to fade. The other spells only took 5 minutes to wear off, but this one took almost 15 minutes to wear off. Weird.

When it finally wore off, I began to see the difficulties of this kind of spell. The tiredness. It did not feel tired, because of my mana reserves being low. I felt tired because all my muscles had just worked full time in 15 minutes straight. It was really tiring.

Note to self: Only use this spell in emergency situations.

With me having studied a little, I felt comfortable going to bed early. While I originally had the problem of not being tired enough to sleep through the night, I now felt tired enough to sleep for a whole day.

Heh. It seems that if I use this spell once a day, I will be fit in a week.

Thoughts like these were what kept me awake for a full ten seconds before I fell asleep.

I woke up a couple hours later. I didn't open my eyes, as it just sounded like Eros.

He just walked over to the chair, while trying to be as quiet as he could, and sat down on the chair.

After that, I could not hear a single sound, as if he wasn't even there.

Seems like he has found himself a new quirk; The hidden sleeper.

And with that, I fell asleep, without waking up the whole night.
