《My life in another world - isekai》8. Adventurer's guild
Advertisement
I wake up at around twelve and look outside the reinforced window. A light snowfall restricts the visibility to a few hundred meters, but it can be seen that the streets are already busy with stalls and merchants. I get off my bed and put on my usual white tunic and brown pants. I leave the leather reinforced jacket on my chair.
I walk out of my room and head towards the kitchen
"Good morning mother," I say to my mom who was busy cleaning plates.
"good morning Gorrad, I prepared some salamander eggs for you, there are already on the table."
"again?" I ask perplexed "its the fourth time in these past four days mother, cant we have something else?"
"Gorrad, your father bought 10 salamander eggs accidentally. We all have to help him finish them up, today is the last day of eggs okay?"
"understood" I start to dig in the fried salamander egg that tasted quite like the usual chicken egg from my former world, except that its three times bigger...
"Mother, I will go check upon Zelos and then join the adventurers guild."
"okay do just tha- what?? What do you mean join the adventurers guild? you are too small for that!"
"Mother, the AG doesn't have an age restriction, just a lvl restriction. I asked father and he told me that the lvl restriction for an E ranked adventurer is 8, and I am already lvl 18."
"well that is certainly true but you are still five years old Gorrad, your father and I won't allow you to join until you are at least 12."
"Father already allowed me yesterday though."
"wha" - mother was shocked, anger and fury could be seen in her beautiful green eyes. She is quite scary when she is angry.
"very well, then I will allow you too, but at a few conditions. will you accept?"

"I didn't hear the conditions yet mother."
"I can't believe you are five years old... anyways, the conditions are:
- you can never do a request on your own
- You cannot do requests that are higher than D rank. Even if you have the rank of SS adventurer, you won't do anything that is too dangerous, understood?"
sigh, at least she is letting me do it. Last time she didn't even want to hear about it. "Understood mother."
"good, now, go to your father, he is probably in the town hall talking with some slimy merchants, he will introduce you to your future party member."
With that, I walk back to my room, put on my reinforced jacket, and on top the fur coat. I secure the sword to my waist and head out, throwing the sack onto my shoulder.
I start walking towards the stable. the stable was a two and a half meters tall wooden shelter. Inside, our family had a horse and now a wyvern. The wyvern was placed in the further end of the shelter, so the horse would not feel as threatened.
I whistle with my two fingers in my mouth, and Zelos comes out running to my side. "good boy, I can't believe I actually began to like you."
The wyvern looks at me with a quizzical look on his face. " let's go"
we head off on the long brick road.
After a few minutes of walking, we both stand in front of a building that has the symbol of a sword and shield, the Adventurer's Guild. I open the door and look around the room. On the left-hand side, there are about 15 muscular adventurers sitting at tables conversing and drinking. They are a mix of all the races that can be found. I head towards the receptionist that is right in front of me.

"Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild, what can I do for you, little one."
indeed you can say that I am quite small, my height barely reaches the desk of the reception. But... it still hurts.
"Hello?"
"Ah, yes sorry. I would like to register as an adventurer."
the whole room went silent. I felt the gazes of all the fifteen men staring at me.
"ah, I heard that correctly right? you... want to join the Adventurer's guild?"
"yes"
"okay, but first I need to ask, how old are you?"
"I just became five." damn, i should have lied...
"Go home ya brat, this aint your playing ground, ya hear me?"
I ignore him
"miss, I heard that the guild accepts the registrations based on your level not your age, was that information incorrect?"
"uh, no no, that information is correct. But, that means that you have to have a level at least higher than 8 to join."
"yep, I am level 18"
"what?!" "That brat is 18?!" "What joke is this?!" the reaction from the adventurers was quite the same as I expected it to be.
"If you say so... then I need to check if you are telling the truth, wait a minute please."
the bust receptionist went to grab something from below the table and said:
"please put your hand on this orb. This orb is capable of discerning one's level, no other information will be displayed except your name and level."
I put my hand on the orb and it began to glow in in a white light.
"oh, so it is true... please accept my apologies. I will prepare your registration form."
She takes out a piece of paper, writes down my name level and race. the paper transforms into a card that was very similar to an old credit card.
"please take this, this will provide for your identification as well as a mean to see your level up status. Here - she points at a green line that was going from one side of the card to the other - this is the exp. line, when the line reaches the other end you will level up and the line will return to the original starting position."
it was now in the middle.
"take you very much."
"not at all, if you want to start with a request already than you will be able to find them on the right-hand side of the wall from the entrance. I would suggest with lower difficulty requests at first when you will rank up, the requests will become harder too, so I suggest that you practice a lot with the easy ones."
"Understood, thanks again."
I walk out of the guild with 30 eyes that follow me to the door.

MARVEL: GAME MAKER SYSTEM
Alex was an ordinary person with the dream of one day being transmigrated to a magical world. But what he didn't expect is that he would be transmigrated to a world much more than that, a world he knew very well, but instead of being given a system that would empower him, he was given a system that allowed him to make games, and the more people played, the more powers he would get. Tony Stark: I hate this! I can do in real life everything this Watch Dogs guy does, but why can't I stop playing? Hulk: HULK HATES DARK SOULS!!! HULK SMASH DARK SOUS ARRRHHHHGGG!!! Nick Fury: If any agent can't complete the Hitman game by next week, that agent will be fired from the Shield! A world of superheroes, but who controls everything is "only" a game developer.
8.18 1019Path of Divinity
The world has been assimilated by the Celestial Archives, a vast system designed to fight the forces that seek to destroy the universe. For most, it's a holy cause that rewards victory with stats, levels, and skills. For Hunter Gold, it's the start of a nightmare. Even in a system dominated by paths, he finds himself taking the road less traveled. This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. This is kind of something fun I wanted to write after reading stories like The New World, System Apocalypse, and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. I don't know how serious I will be about this story, but I just want to try it out. I imagine that it will become a love child between Fable, Diablo, and Devil May Cry. Enjoy!

8 143Tree of Yggdrasil
A Land of Myths and Legends. It has been far too long since the Age of Humanity has come and gone, the only evidence of those times being ruins and relics, left over from a past shrouded in mystery. In the center of the Human Continent, there exists a Tree, the origin of all the monsters and of humanity’s downfall. Yet, humans prevail, rising from the ashes every time. Countries rise and fall, struggling in an endless cycle of conquest and bloodshed. Yet still they pray to the source of their misfortune, the Tree of Yggdrasil, hoping to be granted one of its miracles. It has been centuries since the Tree has blessed a being. Only a select few in the past were able to receive its grace, bringing about a new form of power to the world and transcending humanity. These beings, having created brand new lands of their own, are known as paragons of their own species, yet they are all cursed in one way or another. Once again, humanity is rising, yet their growth brings about misfortune to all who surround them. Those forsaken even by their own races face death, persecution and loneliness. And yet, the Tree keeps its silence. Until now… *Credit for the cover goes to Darkhikarii at DeviantArt, if you want it taken down, please message me.
