"So, we're gonna break into Section D-5 and then set off the bomb?"
"Yep."
Lester looks at Lupin with a face that screams, are you serious. "And then what?" Lester asked.
Lupin shrugged and said, "Eh, we'll just wing it."
"Are you serious?"
"Yep"
"You know what, fine," Lester said as he threw his arms up in the air.
Lupin smiled and turn to face Basil who was wielding his warhammer and said, "Do the deed, Basil."
Basil grinned as he swings his hammer onto the wall leaving a human-sized hole.
"There's our entrance boys so let's go!"
The three men and beastman ran through the hole and ran past the walls.
Once they were past the wall Lupin said, "Drake, lit the bomb."
"On it boss."
Drake lit the fuse of the bomb and then threw it shouting, "Cover your ears!"
The three men and beastman cover their ears and then.
nothing.
The four mercenaries look at each other confused.
"Why didn't the bomb blew up?"
"Did ya lit the fuse properly Drake?"
"How annoying, don't put the blame on me, I lit the fuse with only lighter we have."
Lester groaned. "Great, the bomb didn't blow up and we broke the wall on our way in, you do know that what we did count as treason right? The guards are gonna arrested us, then we'll be put on trial and then be sentenc—"

*6 Hours Later*
We find mercenaries in the middle of another forest panting.
"*Pant, Pant* W-we got away right?" Lestor said he sit on the ground.
"*Pant, Pant* I...I think so." Basil replied as he fell onto his butt.
"*Pant, Pant* Where we're going next?" asked Drake.
Lupin took a look around his surrounding before responding, "We're going to the Lunar Kingdom or a somewhere barely anyone knows about."
"Why the Lunar Kingdom?"
"Because they don't ask too much question."
Drake nodded.
"And they have that one knight who is equivalent to a platinum rank."
The Lunar Kingdom.
A mostly neutral kingdom that keeps to themselves and is very powerful for they have a knight that was the equivalent to a platinum rank adventurer.
Adventurer.
People who register with the Adventurer's Guild and took on requests that were posted there and explored dungeons. They were was in different ranks.
Bronze - Beginner and the weakest of the adventurer.
Iron - They could take on a squad of village guardsmen.
Sliver - They could take on the entire city guardsmen without trouble.
Gold - Could defeat a small army.
Platinum - Could take on an entire army.
"So, what do we have."
Lupin asked.
Lester pulls a flip phone and a bag of coins.
Drake took a look at the flip phone and said, "Flip phone was popular in 1995 before being replaced by smartphones that were powered by both magic and science."
Lester just glared at Drake.
"We also have 50 bronze coins and 2 silver coins."
Silence came upon the four.
"So...We're broke." Basil said.
"Oh please, we're always broke Basil," Lester said.
Lupin just signed.
"We could find a nearby town and register at the Adventurer's Guild," Drake said.

"Any objection?"
"No."
"None"
Lupin nodded and then said, "Before we set off to find a town, we should make a camp here and then set out next morning."
"I'll get sticks," Lester said.
"I'll get food," Basil said.
*Grooowwwl*
"I'm hungry."
"Goddammit, Basil."
"Drake and I will be setting traps and set our sleeping bags," Lupin said.
"Why me."
"Because you'll just laze around and sleep your ass all day."
"How annoying."
*1 hour later*
"PUT IT OUT, PUT IT OUT!"
Lester yelled while running with his armor on fire.
"WELL STAY STILL, AND DON'T BE ANNOYING!"
*splash*
Lester shooked his head and sign in relief.
"Why do you have to be so annoying," Drake said.
"Well, you try to be on fire!" Lester yelled.
"You wouldn't be on fire if you stay and let m—"
"Are you two done."
Two turn and saw Lupin with an annoyed face and has his arms crossed.
"If you two are done go to sleep, cause we need to set out next morning."
""Yes boss""
Lupin turns around and walks away from the two and just went to sleep in his sleeping bag, but not before thinking, 'What could go wrong tomorrow'.

Or was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Determined to know more about himself and recover his memories, follow the story of a boy on a quest to reclaim his lost identity in a vast and dangerous world of grand opportunities, malicious individuals and magical intrigue. ---------------------------------- Hello there, this is a story I came up on my own. As an author, I'd like to interact with my community and get ideas and what I can improve on. I'm not perfect and don't expect a masterpiece. I may have a bit of experience writing as a hobby, I make mistakes and my style is a bit rough around the edges. I hope you stick around and watch me build this story up. I don't have a predetermined schedule and the releases will be slow. Since I got college, my schedule is most likely 1-2 chapters a month but that shouldn't be that bad since I get some time to think about what I can write in the story. Again, my apologies for that. I hope I have your support moving forward and that you enjoy the characters and their journies.
