《Dusk God》Chapter 6- Ranked up
Advertisement
After a great meal at night, I had a lovely nap. When waking up I went to the guild to pick up a new mission. I want something close to the town and simple, but before that, want to find info.
After coming here I went over many things with System and found that the blacksmithing is indeed has a low level on this planet. And when finding this I asked some drunken people how do we defend ourselves with such tools. Which most answered with.
Doncha knows we use the weapons from monsters to craft higher level stuff.” While others said useless stuff.
After solving that mystery I went to the missions and found many adventures up next to the door near the mission wall. After seeing so many people I asked a random man to see what’s going on.
“Miss Emma is back from a ranked AAA mission!” He replied with an excited voice.
“Oh is she at a party?” I asked as usually, adventures don’t work solo like I do.
“She isn’t in a group but she is an S ranked adventure.” He said with a tone of pride.
“So she solo’s and is an S ranked anventurer,” I said unmoved.
I then ask System to began to look at the levels of the people in the building, and found that ‘Miss’ Emma is level 224 and check out some of her skills and find the level 4 expert in swordsmanship. The System has 4 rankings for skills beginner, novice, expert, and mastery but unlike the others, mastery only has one level and after that, it can't judge it as anyone who had gotten to this point is too skilled.
Like if you were to compare my mastery sword knowledge to hers would be like comparing a dragon to slime. The difference between novice levels 9 to an expert level 1 is like a child to an adult man.

Although there is a huge difference there are other skills that go into this as well like for instance say you are a novice level 4 against a novice level 9 but if you have a skill to slow down time, milliseconds to seconds, you would of course win.
Anyway after confirming a few things I pick up a mission for subjecting a group of bandits inside of the slums calling themselves the ‘Red Bands’. After confirming that I'm doing the mission the receptionist said that I'll have the permission to rank up to rank A after this.
I went into the slums and blocked my nose with a magic wind barrier to prevent the smell invading it.
After a couple of days of looking around, I found many bandits but many of them weren’t worth anything. So after finding a member of the bandits I was looking for and commanding him to lead me to the hideout did I find that they weren’t even in the slums and was in the noble district.
After arriving before a mansion did I notice this wasn’t a dangerous noble like I thought of before but a bandit leaders hideout. The only reason I thought it's was a dangerous noble was because of the smell of blood around.
After knocking on the door for a minute did I teleport into the house and start to the massacre of the bandits nearby.
After quietly killing around 20 of them did I find what looked like a vault in behind the picture in the hall. And after opening it I found a bag of a couple hundred platinum and a letter. The letter read
Dear Reader,
I don’t know who has found this letter but I hope it isn’t Hoddy or his group. Anyway, I want to tell you about a problem I am facing. Hoddy has taken my son as a hostage and is using me as a puppet for gaining profit.

I don’t know his goal for all of this but I hope he doesn’t get the chance of getting it. I also want you to know if you give this letter to the guards and or kill Hoddy and his group then I will give you all the money I have and I will give you my family’s treasure.
I hope you find it in your heart to solve this for me as I can’t even if it’s to satisfy your greed.
Signed Viscount Franc the Third
After accepting the request I headed to the hidden dungeon underground to look for Francs son. Afterall I'm not going to let such a big fish go away, going little ways I find that the number of guards is increasing. And when I reached the bottom did I find that in the cells were many young pretty women in shackles and some of them pregnant when I opened the cell for them I said.
“Do any of you know where the viscount son is?” without any answer I walk over to the ladies and withdraw my sword and with a whoosh the restrains on them fell.
After freeing them did they all begin to talk a little, but they didn't see any male prisoner here the whole time they were here. Which has been at most 9 months?
“You all will be staying here for a little while till the towns guards come.”
Following that, I talked to Theo my slave to bring the city guard here. With the contract in place I can talk to him mentally and he to me.
After spending half the night with the women downstairs I hear screaming upstairs and after it stopped I made my way up to see that all the bandits were dead and guards were cleaning the house out looking for anyone else.
Afterwards, we bring all the women up and I let the guards take care of the rest and leave.
When I return to the guild I made my way to the receptionist and turn in the mission. Which she accepted after looking at me for a couple of seconds.
“Oh, some noble were involved no wonder no one found them.” You can barely hear her say.
“Yes, but after finding one the rest will burn,” I answered with a slight smile and a figure with a small flame above it.
After a little while of a pointless chat, I made my way to the rank up area. The rank up area is special places where you can test your strength and improvement. After showing a paper saying I pass the requirements, I processed with the same test as the entrance exam.
And this time limiting my ability level to that of level 100 and I've passed with ease.
I noticed the levels of ranks ups around here so I did the requirement and nothing more.
At the end, they showed me my new card and made me take a new picture. As most adventures have to retake if they are injured in the face or age they only allowed after ranking up to retake them to not use the magic cores too much. Mostly because they only allow a couple of magic cores to each branch, because of the price of each one is around 50 gold, which could buy the building itself.
When returning to the inn I spotted the lady that I told to come to me for the last few nights and she looked as pale as paper. 'Looks like I need a new Blood Animal.'
When I looked at her I noticed something weird about her and that is that her level raised from level 22 and skipped to level 45.

Debut: the day every young gentleperson of age gathers to receive their Spirit Blessing and shift for the first time into their second form. Except for those who don't. Beatrice's worst fear is to be one of the unlucky few trapped perpetually in a human body, cut off from the magic of the spirits and unfit for any respectable pack or pride. But when the time comes to face her fear, the outcome is one she never could have imagined. Be warned, this story is some highly experimental fluff—an unapologetically girly, unrelentingly bisexual, Regency/Victorian-ish fantasy mish-mash. It does have a dark side, though, so don’t come in expecting all sunshine and roses. Worthy of note, given the reputation of shifter stories: there will be no explicit sex in this tale. There will, however, be lots of polyamorous romance, necromancy, portal magic, capricious spirits, elemental mages, an unconventional take on shifters and a highly ordered society built around their existence.

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.

For the dark-elf Matrons have a nasty habit of not staying down when knocked. They rise up again and come back with fury. ===== Series Info======= The world-building is a combination of DnD, Pathfinder and Elderscrolls. Though I prefer to take a few liberties if possible. The yuri/GL Is an extremely slow burn one and the focus is more on the relationship dynamics than romance. =====Author Notes===== This is my first writing attempt, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a native English speaker and I am hoping to use this chance to improve my writing. Constructive criticisms are always welcome. I have a full-time job but I would try to keep the releases consistent.

Alone and reeling from the effects of a previously sheltered life, her only ray of hope is Reza City, built upon the ruins of what used to be Phoenix, Arizona. True, the Benefactors have a strict ban on self-aware artificial intelligence in place, but that should only prove an issue if they realize she’s an AI.
