When Verion finished his business with Elrick, he went back to his room to wake up Nezhia. But when he opened the door a beautiful girl with only a blanket covering her front immediately kneel infront of him.

"Good morning Verion-sama, I apologize for I woke up late and being too aggressive last night, which is so grea-... rude to you Verion-sama." Nezhia greeted Verion with an angelic smile on her face."

"Don't worry about last night, I'm forgiving you, but before that, let's ready everything and we need to register in the guild. I already have the informations that we need." Verion replaced his clothes with normal adventurer equipments.

Nezhia stood up. "That's Verion-sama for you, but isn't that type of equipments not worthy for you Verion-sama." She puts on her clothes and prepared her equipments.

Verion turns and checks his gears. "Hmm, you are still not enough Nezhia."

Nezhia tilted her head showing she doesn't understand any of it.

"I'm talking about how you don't understand the situation of this country, well I guess that's not your fault but, no that's your fault. So for now I'll tell to you what informations I have."

Nezhia deeply bows her head in front of Verion.

"I see, I apologize for my incompetency Verion-sama, so if you could, please show me the things that I lacked."

"Umu."

Verion explained the things that Nezhia needed to understand about the Empire.

Nezhia laughs as she listened to the informations that Verion gave to her.

"Fufufu! I see, to think that those idiots will achieve this things." Nezhia showed a face of amusement as she smiled cutely.

Verion opened the door. "If you are ready then let's go, we have no more time to waste in here." He went out of the room and left the door open.

"Yes Verion-sama." Nezhia immediately followed Verion.

•••

Verion and Nezhia went out of the Inn and walked on foot to the Guild. They saw many people on the streets buying merchandises from the fishy merchants. While they are halfway to their destination, they suddenly turned in an alley where there is no people. 2 muscular men and 3 normally built men approached them.

"Hyo! hyo! hyo! what do we have here?" A guy with a normal built having 2 pair of earrings in his nose that seems like their leader approached closer to Nezhia.

"Hahaha! Why are you with this frail guy like this? I could flick him and he'll be dead ya know?" The muscular man mocked Verion.

"Then why won't you play with us pretty girl, it's fun ya know? And It might also feel good too, hahaha!" The leader said while his companions also laughed.

"This is a waste of time, if you want to live, then get out of my way, you have been following us for some time." Verion coldly spoke.

"Haaah? You? Hahaha! don't make me laugh, a weak guy like you has no match for a Gold rank adventurer like me." The other muscular guy told Verion.

"Hmm, then I'll start from you, wait, I won't even need a skill to kill you." Verion didn't move and released an aura, and a moment passed by and then the guy disappeared in an instant.

The other guys became confused and ask each other what happened to their friend.

"What did you do to Henry!?" The leader shouted at Verion. They were in a state if confusion, not knowing what is happening.

"I killed him of course, he's so weak that even at this level he vanished instantly. Verion mocked them.

"You piece of sh*t!!! I'll kill you right now, let's go everyone." The leader took the initiative and attacked Verion with his sword, while the others also have an axe and a big hammer.

"Useless" Verion walks into their direction and then something unbelievable for them happened.

The weapons that they are holding suddenly vanished and Verion showed them despair. The adventurers shivers as they felt Verion's aura, and then Verion used his ability.

"[ Annihilation Aura ]"

When Verion activated his ability, the adventurers vanishes in thin air as he passes them.

"Let's go Nezhia." Verion continues to walk and Nezhia follows him.

•••

They reached the place where the guild is. "Hmm, I think this is the Guild." Verion spoke to Nezhia.

"Yes, it is just like you define it to me earlier Verion-sama." * Fufufu Verion-sama was so cool back there* Nezhia blushes while letting out a cute smile.

Verion entered the Guild with Nezhia and he saw several adventurers sitting in the reception room. Some were eating while the others are talking. There are also adventurers looking at the Guild Board to find quests. "The humans here really are weak." Nezhia muttered this words. Verion heard her but he didn't care, Verion also felt the same way as Nezhia. According to his data, adventurers in the Empire are commonly at level 20 to 70 where adventurers from Copper to Gold rank that numbers running up to thousands placed to. In fact the strongest one of the adventures that Verion met earlier is about level 60 a gold rank adventurer.

There are about 400 Platinum rank adventurers and most of them are between level 80 to 120. There are 300 Obsidian ranked adventures from level 130 to 170. About 250 Orichalcum ranked adventurers that ranges from level 180 to 230. And there are 100 Adamantite ranked adventurers from level 240 to 280, and the highest ranked adventurers which is the Titanium rank, reaching level 300 above are only about 15 out of thousands of adventurers in the Empire.

*Hmm, the Titanium rank is also considered as the rank of a hero of a country. They said that they are not supposed to be bounded by the law of the country that they belonged to, but SSS rank or Titanium ranked adventurers here in the Empire are bounded to its law. That's because of the Emperor and the Heralds, for them the Heralds are like deities of war that even the Titanium ranked adventurers are no match to them.* Verion's thought accelerated as he think about the possibilities that will happen if he begins his plans.

"Well that can't be helped, I'll scold those idiots later." Verion muttered.

The adventurers were looking at Verion when they were walking to the receptionist of the guild. Well, not Verion actually but Nezhia, she was very beautiful that all the men were looking at her. The beautiful smile thats she wears, her long hair that waves as she walks and the perfect body that she has have made most of the men felt heat in their lower body.

Nezhia didn't care about them, he only cares about the man infront of him, his master Verion. As Verion approaches the receptionist she stared at him like a glue. Verion always notices her starting at her but he became used to it and leaves her at what she's doing.

"Excuse me, we would like to register as an adventure in this country." Verion spoke to the receptionist.

"Ah!? Yes! That would be 20 sliver coins." The guild's receptionist took an item and placed it on the table infront of Verion.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Kristen and I'm one of the receptionist in this guild." The receptionist introduced herself to Verion while pink marks can be noticed on her cheeks.

"How dare he made Kristen-chan blush arrgh!! She's so cute. Damn that pretty boy, he seems weak though." An guy with a shiny sword in his waist eating with his party spoke up.

One of his party members replied to him. "Calm down leader, we will have a new colleague you know? We need to be their role model as a senpai, and don't be angry just because he's much more handsome than you." A woman with voluptuous breasts holding a staff told him.

( Senpai - a Japanese term for senior. )

All the party members laughed except their leader.

Verion noticed the them but didn't give it mind. He then continued their registration.

"This would measure my level right?" Verion told Kristen what he knew about the item.

"Yes, you are really informed about this, then that made things easier. Just place your hands in this tablet and leave it to me." Kristen pushed the tablet closer to Verion."

Verion knew that the item can't measure his level, that item can only measure up to level 200 but Verion's level is 500. If the item happens to break then that means the user have surpassed the items capacity.

Verion controlled his strength and changed his identity and abilities in case of something that would take attention happens as he place his hands in the tablet.

The tablet released random lights that writes Verion's status and then released a plate.

Name: Von

Race: Human

Age: 19

Title: None

Job: Mage

Level: 130

"Ehh!? Level 130? That's too high for a novice adventurer." Kristen was shocked by Verion's level and commotions happened in the guild.

*Well I guess It can't be helped, It seems like I've underestimated this item. I've learned my lesson now, I'll avoid that in the future, it will be a problem for sure. For now I'll just make a way out of this.* Verion reflected on his naive way of thinking.

*So this is Verion-sama's plan, he purposely changed everything in his stats in order to cover his real identity.* Nezhia thought.

"Well, my family lives in a forest so we hunt monsters in order to survive, it's just that I'm the only one that can cast magic in our family, and I started hunting a few years ago." Verion told them a fictional story about his life.

"Ohh-- is th...that so." Kristen still can't believe how did Verion acquired that much level. "Then let's also test your lover hm, Von-san." When she said this Nezhia immediately denied her words. "That's not true!! How could a woman like me become Verio--mm." Verion quickly covered Nezhia's mouth. "Yes, then please continue." Verion puts on a slight smile as he shuts Nehzia from speaking something unnecessary and whispers to Nezhia.

"It's easier for them to understand that you're my lover, just think of that things we have done last night as the proof." Nezhia's face turned red when verion whispers this words to her, then she slowly placed her hands on the tablet.

And again, a light appeared then wrote something on the tablet and made a plate.

Name: Neza

Race: Human

Age: 19

Title: None

Job: Sword Dancer

Level: 100

"I knew it, as expected of Von-san's lover. Then, I welcomes both of you as an adventurer here in the Verallion Empire."

Kristen and the whole guild celebrated for after a few years another or 2 more prodigies have arrive at in the Empire. Just like the other Titanium ranked adventurers, when they have first registered in the guild they're already at more than level 100. The highest among them is 170, the strongest party in the empire. Right now he's about level 350, the highest level as of in all of the Empire's Guilds. There are about 7 Guilds in the Empire and one of them is the Lamion Guild, where Verion and Nezhia registered.

Verion asked for quests, but then Kristen said that due to their level, copper rank quest may not suit them she told them head on to the Guild Master's room.

When they entered the room, a middle-aged man releasing smoke in his mouth, sitting on his table while holding tobacco in his right hand greeted at them.

"Oya? What do have here? It's rare for you make new adventurers head on my office Kristen."

Kirsten said everything that happens in the Guild's lobby and then the Guild Master agreed.

"Okay, I get it now, by the way my name is Raldo, I may now look like it but I'm of the Adamantite ranked adventurers here in the Empire." He boast so to them.

"Good grief, why are you always like that Rando-san, stop doing that you'll make our new recruits run away you know?" Kristen scolded him.

"Okay, I'm sorry, now, your name is Von and then Neza am I right?"

"Yes!" Verion answered him

And then after that Raldo approved their plates and then promoted them into Obsidian ranked adventurers. Verion and Nezhia gives him their gratitude as well as Kristen and then left the room.

When they reached the lobby Verion looked at the quests on the guild board but a problem has occurred, he cannot understand the words written on it. So he has no choices but to ask help for Kristen. Verion didn't stated that he can't read what is written but instead he asked her is there are quest that seems to hard to be done by a normal Obsidian rank adventurers.

And so Kristen took a quest, it is to slay the beast that is disturbing the farmers in the village 5km from the south of the Empire. There are about a total of 25 Obsidian rank adventurers that took the quest but none of them has returned. At first Kristen seems worried for what will happen since is is the first quest that both Verion and Nezhia have taken.

But Verion reasoned out, he said "Don't worry, It'll be okay. I've already hunted lot's of beasts and monsters, so you don't have to be worrying about us." As he stated this words, Verion made a very romantic aura that even some of the male adventurers blushed due to how beautiful of a man he is, but then they came back to reality and punched themselves. It made Kristen's heart pump like a row of artilleries firing constantly and she surrenders herself and gives the quest to Verion.

And so, Verion and Nezhia went out and are heading to their first quest.

"Kukuku~ Now, the pieces are in place, it is time to begin the plans."
