The horses stop when they are 10 metres away from Darius, while the riders look down at him. The riders are wearing the colours of the followers of Myrdou. Darius looks up at them as he says “Yes? How can I help you?”

The lead rider frowns as he says “Who are you, and what were you doing on the battlefield?” Darius looks up at him as he says “My name is Darius, I’m an adventurer in Taset, and would you believe me that I had no idea that was going to be a battlefield. I arrived in the area late last night and set up camp.”

“You an adventurer? I’ve never heard of an adventurer that can do what you did to run.” The lead rider says, shaking his head as he looks at Darius. “That’s understandable, I only just realized how to use this ability recently, so of course you wouldn’t have heard of me using it. I can show you my adventurer's badge if that would help.” Darius says with a shrug.

“Very well.” The lead rider says before Darius nods and pulls the badge from his pocket, holding it out towards the riders. “I can bring it over to you unless you can see it from where you are?”

The lead rider’s eyes glow as he looks over the badge, before nodding and saying “You are as you say, an adventurer, but what are you doing out here?” Darius looks around a little while he says “I’m just returning after dealing with a quest. There is some very important business I have to deal with in Taset, so will that be everything?”

“Yes, I believe that will be everything, you best leave quickly.” The lead rider says as he nods before they turn and ride back towards the battle. Darius sighs with relief, putting the badge back in his pocket before he turns and starts to blink towards Taset again.

It takes him around an hour and a half to get back to Taset. He gains 5 more levels in Minor Blink by the time he gets close enough that he stops using it and just walks up to the gates.

Darius gets in the line, looking around a little as he waits. Things seem normal here, though there seems to be a slightly lower number of guards. Darius takes his adventurer badge and identification from his pocket before it gets to his turn to talk to the guard letting people in.

“Name and business in Taset?” The guard says as he looks at Darius “Darius, and I’m an adventurer.” The guard nods before he lets Darius past “Go on in.”

“Thanks,” Darius says as he nods, quickly heading into Taset and putting his badge and identification in his backpack. He then walks through Taset towards the adventurer’s guild. He soon makes his way back and looks around when he enters, finding Jannet behind the desk again.

Darius walks up to the desk as he says “Hey there Jannet, it’s been a little while.” Jannet looks towards Darius a bit confused before recognition dawns on her face. “Oh Darius, I was wondering where you went.”

“I got a quest that I had to deal with, but it’s dealt with for now, and I’m back.” Darius says as he looks around the guild hall a little. “Interesting, and what quest would it be that could shoot your level up as high as it did?” Jannet says as she looks towards his identifier.

“Ah, that wasn’t the quest, that was a dungeon I stumbled into and got very lucky.” Darius says before Jannet’s eyes widen in surprise as she nearly shouts “You survived a dungeon alone?” Darius nods as he feels the eyes of nearly everyone in the guild on him.

“Yes, I did, it mostly helped that I got my class while in there, and a few very useful skills. After all, I had been blocked inside.” Jannet pales as she looks at him saying “Y-you were blocked inside a dungeon, survived, and got out?”

“I mean, if I didn’t I wouldn’t be standing here would I? Though surviving isn’t exactly the right term, after all, I did beat the boss.” Darius says before he shakes his head a little. “Doesn’t matter too much.”

“Doesn’t matter? That’s amazing, what level was this dungeon?” Jannet asks as she looks at him intently. “Hmm, I think the recommended level was 20, that’s the level the boss was at least.” Darius says while Jannet puts a hand on her head, unable to believe what she is hearing “That can’t be true, you aren’t pulling my leg are you?”

Darius frowns as he shakes his head “No, I’m not, I have no reason to lie, besides, how else would I get this sword and the backpack I’m wearing if not from a dungeon?” Darius says while gesturing to the sword and backpack. “Is there a spell or something to determine I’m telling the truth?”

“Right, yes, there is, and we will need to update your information due to you gaining a class,” Jannet says with a nod. “Right, that should be done in private, for one I know you won’t believe my attributes, and especially not my stats,” Darius says as he nods slightly.

“Uh, Right, let’s go to one of the private rooms, in that case, they are usually reserved for high-end clientele, but can be used in special circumstances,” Jannet says while she walks towards the hallway leading further into the guild.
