Selestina stood by the door of hers and Bob’s room. She took a deep breath and opened the door. Much to her surprise, Bob was sleeping soundly on the bed. “He’s wearing normal clothes!” She screamed internally.

Bob’s armour was neatly stacked beside his bed, although his face was still covered, this time it was not covered by his hood and mask. Instead, it was covered by a piece of cloth, covering his face, except his eyes. Bob was wearing a normal short sleeve shirt and short pants.

Selestina studied his arms and legs with great detail, his skin was smooth yet looked firm. There were multiple scars from his bicep to his forearms. Most likely inflicted by monsters or wild animals. His arms were ripped and muscular but not too the point where it became too bulky. His legs were similar in appearance to his arms, ripped but not to the point it was too big. There were multiple large scars from his thighs down to his knees, it looks like an injury like that could have destroyed someone’s legs and take a year to heal. The scars looked hauntingly beautiful, one could see some form of a pattern on it.

Selestina unknowingly traced Bob’s scars with her hands, no doubt Bob was still young, his skin was too smooth for someone to be older than 30. She traced Bob’s scars on his legs when she heard Bob say something,

“ Selestina, please don’t rape me, I’m still a virgin,” Bob whimpered.

“NO, I WAS NOT ABOUT TO RAPE YOU!” Selestina tried to clear her name.

“Then why were you touching my legs?” Bob asked.

“That’s…” Selestina couldn’t tell him that she was checking out his scars.

“ Even though I’m already 19, can you wait a bit? My heart isn’t ready yet.” Bob told Selestina.

“Okay, I shall wait a little longer, after that you’re mine!” Selestina said unconsciously. “Wait, what? That wasn’t me who said that! And when I try to take back my words, my mouth won’t move!” (This is what you call the supreme power of the writer.)

After hearing Selestina say that, Bob could only shudder in fear. “A-Anyways, I need to talk with you,” Selestina changed the topic of the conversation.

“I need to know whether you will be able to control yourself whenever things don’t go your way, just like what happened at the guild earlier today” She explained further.

“Hmm, that depends. Don’t you think it to be expected that if you have the highest level in the world, your adventurer rank would at least be more than a C?” Bob rebutted her.

“I guess, but that was the guild’s policy!” Selestina tried to defend the guild.

“Well, that brings me to my end of the deal with your country, which is, I get what I want as long as it is reasonable, right?” Bob continued

Selestina simply nodded.

“As long as my reasonable demands are met, I promise I will never get angry,” Bob told Selestina earnestly. She had no choice but to feel comforted by his words but also knew that she had to step in whenever somebody did something unreasonable to him.

Bob faced his body away from Selestina and went back to sleep. “There is only one bed, where should I sleep?” Selestina racked her brains for an answer.

“You could sleep next to me if you promise not to touch me inappropriately while I sleep,” Bob suggested.

“Ah okay, thanks,” Selestina had already resigned to the fact that Bob thought her as a potential rapist or molester.

She then readied herself for bed, after laying down on the bed, she found herself staring at Bob’s back. His exposed back was especially alluring to Selestina, she started to stretch out her arms to touch him but fell asleep instead.

The next day, Bob was having breakfast with Selestina’s group. Fortunately, his virginity was not stolen last night. The atmosphere around them was pretty awkward considering that Selestina had complained about Bob to the others but was quickly dispelled when Selestina started to talk to them about work business.

“We shall leave for the kingdom tomorrow, the king’s messenger arrived yesterday and I have given a status report on our mission,” Selestina informed them.

“Why are we going to the kingdom?” Bob asked.

“ We are going to get our rewards and you are going to start doing missions for the country!” Blaggr explained with enthusiasm.

It was certainly true that all the adventurers were being genuinely friendly to Bob but it was an undeniable fact that they were all in it for the money. Although it was too be expected, Bob can’t help but feel slightly disappointed.

“In any case, today is our last day in this city. So do you what you want today, you probably won’t come back here anytime soon.” Selestina added.

Bob remembered that today the Soldier Orc was going to meet with Snobby Blonde to kill some goblins for their quest. But that won’t happen until 3 pm later and now was still morning. He decided that he was going to roam around the city and soak in the sights for a bit. “Well then, I’m off to enjoy this city one last time!” Bob told the others with enthusiasm.

Bob stepped out of the tavern door and began to observe the surrounding area. The pathways were made of stone, which had a natural charm amidst the man-made scenery. Chickens can be seen roaming around peacefully, that was until a hungry person snatched one for dinner. There were people, elves, dwarves and orcs coexisting peacefully. You could even see a human and an elf who were singing together while playing their musical instruments. It was really a joyful sight to see, Bob realised he was going to miss this town.

He decided to go see the marketplace, enticing smells emanated from the direction of the marketplace. Bob suddenly heard some shouts, looks like somebody was getting beat up. Two people were beating up an old man who was laying in a fetal position on the ground.

“Beat his ass, dawg,”

“Make his white bitchass pay for what he did,”

“That’s what I’m doing bro, he ain’t gonna walk this shit off!”

Bob approached the two guys (monkeyspeak amulet equipped). “Yo guys, why you beating his ass for?”

“Oh wassup, we were beating his ass cause he was doing some fucked up shit, man. He was touching a cat-girl inappropriately, dawg. He needa learn some respecc!” said one of them.

“Is that how it is? Let me crack his ass too, bitch needs to respecc wamen!” Bob said.

Bob spent the next 10 minutes kicking the old man with the two other guys, as they were beating the old man up, they introduced themselves to each other.

“What’s your name, dawg?” The taller one of the guys asked him.

“Name’s Shadow, what about you?” Bob introduced himself

“You can call me Tyrone and this is my brother Demarco,” Tyrone too introduced themselves

“Brother from another mother or brother-brother?” Bob asked

“Brother-brother man, we’ve been hustling on these streets since we were soft-ass punks. We keep the peace around here and we take care of trash like him,” Demarco clarified.

“You guys are one of the realest Gs, I’ve ever met man, keep doing what you do. You guys are doing god’s work man. Praise the lord!” Bob encouraged them.

“Amen brother, we’ll take care of this punk! You can go walk the streets safely now but remember to protecc your neck. The streets can be a mean bitch to a brother! Peace dawg!” Tyrone waved at Bob as he was leaving.

“A’ight, see you soon dawg,” Bob replied.

Bob felt quite happy that he made a few friends and beat up an old pervert. He then arrived at the marketplace in a few minutes. It was certainly a place bustling with activities. You could find anything you want there, from garments to food to furniture, you can buy it all!

“12 gold pieces for a bag of apples? They better be fucking laced with Kokaine for that price!”

“Are you fucking with me? This is the standard price, get your broke-ass outta here before I break my foot in your ass!”

“Well, I certainly wouldn’t mind that,”

“Wouldn’t you now? Well, I guess we can work something out,”

“Yeah, meet me in that dark alley in 5 minutes,”

What a weird place. Bob then went to a food stall that sold snacks, he was about to buy one when he realised that he had left his money in the tavern room. Bob was considering whether to turn back and collect his wallet or he should just rob the stall.

“Shadow!” A familiar voice came from his back.

Oh, it was the heroes party Bob saved in the dungeon. It was Estria, the group's healer that had approached him. Behind her was the male hero, Luther and the mage, Sophia. They both greeted Bob courteously.

“What are you doing here, Shadow?” Estria asked.

“I was going to buy some food but it looks like I’d forgotten to bring my money with me,” Bob told her honestly.

“Aww, that sucks but why don’t you join us? We’re about to go to a restaurant for lunch!” Estria suggested.

“Yeah, why don’t you join us? We’d love to talk with you more since we didn’t have much time to do so in the dungeon,” Said Luther.

“Indeed, I want to learn more about the technique you used to defeat the minotaur in one strike,” Sophia calmly said.

Bob accepted their invite since free food was involved. They all made their way through the marketplace and to the front of a restaurant that had a cow sign.

“Welcome to the Dining Bull!” Greeted a cheerful elven waitress.

“Finally, a place with a normal name!” Bob exclaimed

“I know right! All the other places we’ve been too had weird and obvious names. I wonder if there’s someone out there who’s making all these ridiculous names up as he had no good ideas for names?” Luther added. (Are you picking a fight with me, Luther?)

They then were invited to take a seat by the Elven waitress. After ordering their food they had a small chat.

“So, did you guys managed to clear the dungeon after I left?” Bob asked, trying to make some small conversation.

“Yeah, we managed to clear the last floor. The last boss was a giant minotaur, but we defeated it easily after being protected and supported by Estria, which let us go all out on the beast!” Luther told Bob cheerfully.

“Were there any good loots that were dropped?”

“The minotaur dropped a ‘Taurus Buckler Shield’ but none of us has any use for it, so we’ll sell it later,” Estria added.

A Minotaur Taurus Buckler shield was a certainly a rare equipment since it was made from a minotaur, you could be sure it was sturdy and strong. A buckler shield was perfect for rogues as it was small and light.

“ I think, I might be able to use the shield, why don’t you sell it to me? What’s your price?” Bob suddenly told them.

“Well, the guild will buy it for 2500 gold. Can you match the price?” Luther asked

“Yeah, no problem. I’ll hand you the money at 9 pm today,” Bob said

“Sure no problem,” Luther shook Bob’s hand, signaling that the deal had been accepted.

[Spy from chp 7 part 1’s perspective]

I have been following the Shadow Rogue’s movement ever since he arrived in the country. Orders from the higher-ups came by and said that the Cuntersia kingdom has recruited the Shadow Rogue, to observe him and possibly find anything interesting.

The only thing that was really eye-catching was the small duffel bag he brought with him. From the roof, I looked into his tavern room when he was unpacking his bag, there was a small pouch of unknown content in his bag. I should investigate this further. Currently, I am on the roof of the tavern he is staying at. Both he and the female knight that was sleeping with had left the room about 45 minutes ago, now’s a good time to check what has he got in his pouch.

I opened the window easily, they were too irresponsible to lock it. I then creep into the room silently. Opening his duffel bag, I took out the pouch and opened it up. “What? This is….There’s no denying it, its definitely Kokaine!” I told myself. The higher ups will be proud with what I found, Kokaine is very precious and even this little amount could turn someone into a Nutter*. I should meet up with my boss and tell him about this.

I left the room in its original state and met up with my boss in “A Good Tavern”.

“Greetings Gustavo. Praise Tom! I have good news,” I told my Boss.

“Ah if it isn’t Juan, my amigo! Praise Tom! What’s the good news? Gustavo asked Juan.

“I found some Kokaine in the Shadow Rogue’s bag,” Juan revealed.

‘Kokaine? Fantastico!!! Alright ese, I’ll tell the news to the bosses. They will decide what to do. Adios Amigo!” Gustavo left the tavern in a cheerful manner.

[Back to Bob’s perspective]

I just finished having lunch with the heroes party. Now, I am heading to the border gate where Soldier Orc is going to meet with Snobby Blonde to slay some goblins. Squatting on the roof of a three-storeyed building, I began to wait for them to arrive. Snobby Blonde arrived first, pacing back and forth impatiently, waiting for Soldier Orc to show up.

Soldier Orc did show up 10 minutes later. Both of them had a little chat and made their way out of the gate, they were headed into a forest nearby. Once they reached the forest, they were greeted with the abundance of goblins scouring the land.

Soldier Orc took out his weapon, which was a pretty long ax while Snobby Blonde took out a gold-plated sword. They began to clear the area with good speed.

“That’s the last of them,” Snobby Blonde said proudly

“Yeap, let’s take a break,” Soldier Orc replied.

This Soldier Orc was the first guy to pick a fight with me in the tavern, I would have killed him if I was in an area away from prying eyes. Well then, time to teach these guys a lesson. I changed my form into a dark cloud of shadow and dust and appeared in front of them.

“Woah, what’s that?” Snobby Blonde asked Soldier Orc.

“That’s a cloud of dust, and its heading right at us!” Soldier Orc screamed.

*BOOM*

“Hello there,” Bob said as he crashed into the ground and reverted back into his human form.

“YOU, you are the one who messed me with me at the tavern! I would have killed you if the princess had not stopped me!” Soldier Orc shouted as he picked up his weapon.

“I messed with you? You were the one who approached me and tried to take my armour!” Bob said as he took out his dagger.

“Oi you, I’ll pay you 3 times the reward if you help me kill this guy!” Soldier Orc told Snobby Blonde, who heard instantly grabbed his weapon when he realised money was involved.

“Somebody this weak? Even I am enough to kill him!” Snobby Blonde said as he made a razor-sharp thrust with his sword.

Bob evaded easily by side-stepping. “Weak you say? Very well, I shall show you some of my power,”

A wild torrent of dark magic erupted from Shadow’s body, painting the blue sky, black. A dense miasma of shadow lingered around Shadow. From anybody’s perspective Shadow looked like a really dark and ancient monster, ready to kill at any second.

The overwhelming power beyond Soldier Orc and Snobby Blonde has dreamt caused them to be petrified in fear.

“I’ve been wanting to use this move for a long time,” Shadow ominously said.

All the dark magic around Shadow began to glow and contract, all his murderous energy began to solidify into glowing weapons. Multiple spears, swords, halberds, arrows were formed and were pointing at the two petrified enemies. With a slight motion of his hand, Shadow sent the thousands of weapons towards both of them.

None of them could even utter a single word as they were pierced by thousands of weapons, which left them to become a pile of flesh and blood as food for the goblins.

“Awesome,” Bob left the forest in a seemingly good mood.

[1st person perspective of Bob]

Now that that’s done, I should head back to the tavern. Since I have some time, I should just walk to the gates. The forest returned to its natural ambiance after it became a battlefield for me. I certainly hope nobody saw what happen or a part of the sky turning black.

Arriving at the gate, A guard asked me for my Adventurer’s Card or some form of information, to which I showed him my card and went on my merry way. I went straight to my tavern room and fell asleep. Woke up at 8:30pm, bought the Taurus shield from Luther and went back to sleep.
