《Eliminator》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Scout was back at the same spot that he logged off, just outside of the Adventurers guild. Scout went back inside and approached the counter, the same Elf was there.
"Hello, how may I help you today?" The elf asked
"Im here to pick up my adventurers card please."
"And what is your name again?"
"Scout"
"Scout, Scout, oh here it is, here you go." The Elf then handed over scout a white piece of card the size was of a regular ID
"Would you like a basic overview on how the adventurers card works?"
Scout just nodded and said "Yes please"
"Okay, well first of all, you need to drop a tiny amount of blood onto your card."
Scout then pulled out his dagger and nicked his finger just enough for blood to come out, he then let the blood drop onto the white piece of card. It suddenly changed color, There was a split in color, in one half of the card, it was white, while the other was blue. And the word 'SCOUT' was printed and carved in the middle.
"Ooooh thats amazing to think that you are halfway to being a blue tier adventurer already." The Elf said with a joyous smile on her face.
". . ." Scout was confused because he still did not know what it meant.
"Ah pardon my rudeness, I still haven't explain the how the card works. Basically the card will determine your strength, and the card shows that by the color that it holds. The rankings are, White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, and Black. White being the weakest and Black being the strongest. But the card only reads the adventurers stats, and those stats include the equipment bonuses. So it doesn't necessarily mean that Blue tiered adventurers are stronger than white tiered ones. But the chances are pretty high for higher tiered color to be stronger than the ones below them."
"I see, but what about my card, its half white and half blue, what does that mean?" Scout asked after the long explanation.
"It just means your halfway to being a blue tiered adventurer, you are still considered a white tiered adventurer, and the quests you can take are still only white tiered quests. You can still go on higher colored quests if you are in a group that has 2 colored tier above you, since you are a white tiered, you can technically join green tiered quest if they accept you into their group. Also if you rank up to a higher tier color, you can still take on quests from the lower tiered quests."
"Thank you very much for the explanation, since I have my card, can I go do quests now?" Scout again asked.
"Yes, just take a poster from the quest board, and hand over the poster to one of the open windows right beside it and show them your card, they need to approve that your card color corresponds to the quest."
Scout then walked over to the quest board, there weren't that many quests available since it was the beginner town, and all of the quests they had available were white tiered ones.
There was one quest that was pretty easy for scout to do. It was to gather 75 bunny meat and bunny fur, lucky for Scout he already has the same exact number from all the bunnies that he killed. So he grabbed the poster and gave it to one of the workers on the window along with his card. A notification then popped up.

Quest:Collect 75 bunny meat and fur
Rewards:Experience and 50 copper
Accept?Yes/No
"Accept quest."
Scout then asked the window person "Where do I turn in the quest?"
The guy working the window was dumbfounded "But you just got that quest, just now."
"I hunted them yesterday" Scout said with a laugh.
"I-I see, you can hand them over to any of us working the windows."
Scout then took out the 75 bunny meat and bunny furs and handed over to the teller.
Quest Complete
After he turned in the quest, Scout got a level, and he assigned his stats the same as before, 2 in strength and 2 in agility and 1 in luck.
'Well that was easy' Scout thought with a grin in his face, he then went over back to the quest board and checked what other quests he can do. There was one quest that interested him, it was herb picking, he needed to pick up 1000 level 1 herbs for the local pharmacists in order to create level 1 potions. Scout accepted the job and started to head out towards the fields.
Once Scout was out in the field, he easily saw the level 1 herbs and started digging around the roots and uprooted the level 1 herb.
You gathered Level 1 Herb x 1
Scout was satisfied, he started picking and picking and after a couple of hours of picking the herbs, there were no more herbs to pick up, he had gathered 50 herbs. 'I guess theres a limit to how many herbs spawn each day' Scout thought disappointed. This would mean it would take Scout 20 days to finish the quest, and since Scout already took 5 in game days before, he only will be left 5 more in game days to do nothing.
Scout decided on a plan that most people won't even bother doing since it would be boring. His plan was every time he finished picking up the herbs, he would hunt bunnies to increase his dagger mastery and his backstab skill.
Scout did this for 20 days, stopping only for his daily necessities like exercising, using the bathroom, eating and sleeping. On occasion he would encounter Player killers, about once every 2 days, of course, Scout dealt with them without the Player Killers knowing, one second they were killing other players, the next, they were dead. Scout gained 7 levels from that he is now level 13. His Dagger mastery increased to beginner level 7, and since he can only use backstab so very often, it only leveled up to beginner level 5.
After picking up 1000th level 1 herb he gained a notification.
Congratulations:You learned the herb picking skill, you can now pick up herbs faster and there is a slight chance of picking up 2 or more herbs from a single herb.
Herb Picking: 0% (Beginner level 1)
'Why didnt the stupid system give this to me when I started?! I could have killed more bunnies!' Scout was mad, but happy at the same time, since he got a new skill.'
Scout went back to the beginner town to sell all of his bunny meat and bunny fur. Since he killed almost 1 thousand bunnies, he got about 300 bunny meat and fur each, which the adventurers guild gracefully bought from Scout for 3 coppers each meat and fur. That brought Scout money to 60 silver. He had 80 coppers before, but he used them for his supplies during his mission.

He went back to the adventurers guild and turned in his quest. He went to the window and was about to hand the herbs over, but the NPC told him "Oh you're finished picking up the 1000 herbs? Not many have the same patience as you. Anyway, the pharmacists that wanted those herbs requested that people take the 1000 herbs to him personally."
"I see, I do not know where he is though" Scout said while scratching his head.
"Here let me mark it on your map"
"Thank you very much."
Scout left the adventurers guild and started walking over to the red dot in his map, and after 5 minutes of walking he saw the pharmacists shop right next door to the alchemy shop.
(Note, in this game, Pharmacists create health potions, and Alchemists create mana potions.)
Scout stepped inside the shop and approached the counter where an old man was standing.
"Welcome, would you like to buy some potions young man?"
"No, I'm here to turn in the 1000 herb quest?"
"Ah, not many adventurers finish that quest."
"So I have been told" Scout said, he then gave the 1000 herbs to the old man.
"Thank you very much young man, here let me bestow upon you this profession, I only give this skill to those that pass this quest."
Congratulations:You are now a Pharmacist, you can now create health potions depending on your level of pharmacist.
Pharmacist level: 1
'This is gonna be very useful for me' Scout thought with a grin. "Thank you very much, but how does it work?"
"Ah, almost forgot to tell you eh? Its pretty simple really, you just grab one of the herbs, grind it up, and put it in a special glass vial. The vial already contains the liquid that automatically mixes the herb with the liquid. So 1 herb and 1 vial is one potion."
"I see" Scout said with a nod. "But where can I get the vials?"
"They can only be bought from alchemy or pharmacy shops, and they are only 10 copper each"
"Okay, can I buy 250 please?"
"250 young man? That is going to be 25 silver, can you afford it?"
"Yes" Scout then handed over the 25 silver and got 250 vials.
"Thanks for the business" The old man said.
Scout then left the store. Scout still had 5 game days left after this one, so he can still gather 250 herbs, thats why he bought 250 vials. He then logged off and decided to log back in after 6 hours in real time since that would be 1 in game day since the time ratio is 1:4.
Ray stepped out of his 'Egg' and did his daily routine, exercise, eat, bathroom and sleep. He then logged back on, collected his 50 herbs, logged back out and relaxed. He did this until it was already his 30th in game day. Ray logged back in Square One.
As Scout was being spawned from where he last logged off, he started picking up his 50 last herbs. After picking up herbs for 5 days, Scout got his Herb Picking skill up to beginner level 3. He then got a window.
Congratulations: Your 30 days are up, please head to the adventurers guild so that you will be given your class and you will be transported to an actual beginner town.
Scout rushed towards the adventurers guild, he approached the counter and asked where he could get his class. The person at the counter pointed him towards a door, on top of the door, two words were carved "CLASS CHANGE". Scout face palmed, it couldn't have been more obvious.
He went inside the door and there was something surprising inside, he saw the noble that he had escorted on his very first day. Whats even more surprising is that he was the one that was giving out the class change.
"Hey, good to see you, so you're finally ready to take on your class?"
Scout just nodded, he wanted to hide his excitement.
"Well just like told you, a good class will be given to you, I'm not the one that chooses this, I'm just the one that our God, Gaia has chosen to bestow classes to adventurers like you."
A window then suddenly showed up in front of Scout.
Congratulations!You have been offered the class Eliminator you are offered this class because due to your behaviors, killing thief's and adventurer killers without bragging about it, or showing it off to other adventurers. Note that this class is a class somewhere along the lines of a thief and a rouge. All fame and infamy will be reset. You will not gain any fame for killing players for it is in your nature, you can still gain fame for doing righteous things and by doing unique quests, NPCS will only talk of you through your righteous deeds and quests, but never as a player that kills other players. Your infamy will not go up if you kill non player killers depending on the situation, since there can only be one truth, God Gaia will know and decide wether or not you gain any infamy.
Accept? Yes/No
If you do not accept you will be given another class as an "Assassin"
"Accept" Scout paid did not care about his fame, since he really does not want to stand out, this would work best for him.
Congratulations you are now an Eliminator
"Well kid, like I told you, unique class eh?"
"Yeah, thank you very much."
"Don't thank me kid, thank Gaia."
Scout nodded.
"Well our times up kid, you will now be transferred to an actually starting town somewhere in the regions of Chronos, its pretty random. Good luck and have fun kid, your adventure begins now!."
All light begin to fade around Scout and he soon woke opened his eyes on a new town, a whole new world.

The Shadow That Preludes Death (The Favoured)
Magic and fantastical beasts run wild on the countless worlds of the Fabric. Deities take an active interest in the Fabric. The Favoured, immortal mages of immense power vie for territory and power in the Fabric. Umbra a naive ward of the Duke is almost Grown and that means she will need to take an apprenticeship. The issue is she isn't good at anything, but she catches the eye of a master of magic, he thinks she might be one of the fabled Protectors the ones that would save them from the coming destruction. But Umbra isn't the hero everyone wants her to be. Updates will at least one chapter every two days. Notable Location Poliagoras. Poliagoras is the most important world in the Fabric partly due to it being the centre of everything both literally and metaphorically. Trade, commerce, travel, and politics are all conducted primarily on Poliagoras, it has the biggest city in the fabric stretching to cover almost the entire world. It also holds all the known Great portals in the Fabric which are the only way to travel to other worlds. Even without these things, Poliagoras would still be the most important world in the Fabric as it is home to the largest population of Favoured. They were mages chosen by the Deities and given the potential to become more than mortal. I cannot overstate how appreciated constructive criticism is. This is the first story I have written of my own volition so even a small comment on how I could improve would be great. The current title is most definitely a working one. I know it isn't great.

The Wu Clan's Rise: Legends of the twin dragons
The Immortal Domain is a vast cosmos consisting of the Upper Realm and the Lower Realms, both of which are controlled by the Three Great Families, the Wang family, the Lui family, and the Xue family. Each one of them holds an immense amount of power that could overturn the heavens, reverse yin and yang and change the fate of anyone or anything in the Immortal Domain as they see fit. But, with all of that being said, our story doesn't start from those ancient overpowered families in the Upper Realm, it starts from one of the countless fragmented Lower Realms, called the Wither Daemon Realm, in which there was a planet named Daiyu. On this planet, heavenly prodigies that were born with one of the thirty, rare Legendary Physiques were starting to pop up like common weeds. Longwei, born into the Wu Clan while in possession of the third rank Legendary Physique, was known as one of the six monster-level geniuses on planet Daiyu. His brother Longmin on the other hand, though was a genius in his own right, had faded into obscurity since his birth and was shunned by his own father after a certain ‘incident’. This story is the supposed legends of two dragons, who, through a journey of bloodshed and betrayal led their clan to unify the Immortal Domain and stand above trillions as the highest existence. ******* If you lovely readers can't be bothered to use your eyes, you can join my Patreon and get to stream my audio chapters like everyone else. https://www.patreon.com/TSETH Discord: https://discord.gg/tEdkhmrj5g

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
