《Travel Through The Lands》Chapter 24. A rogues life...
Advertisement
This isn't what I had expected.
When I grabbed the knob, my vision warped.
I managed to keep my eyes open through the warping process, but I don't like this place at all...
Its too normal, too quiet...
The white carpet I walked on muffled my steps as I walked around the office.
My eyes were drawn to the man sitting behind the desk.
His eyes constantly follow me, assessing my movements.
He smiled before asking,
"You here to become a Rogue?"
"Yes." I answered while taking in my surroundings, there's one window behind him and the door behind me.
If the door locks, I will have no choice but to pass through him if any troubles arise.
"Mhm, since you're here you obviously got through "that" room... How'd you like it? Answer honestly, I'll know if your lying." He clearly said as he produced a small ball of light from the tip of his fingers. "If you lie this will turn red."
"I liked it, it would get annoying over time without a roof, though, have you considered putting one in? If you only use materials that scare people, I would suggest stretching human skin and using glass in the middle." I honestly replied while watching the light in his hand.
"What?" he looked at his hands to see if I was lying. "You... Wasn't disturbed by what you saw?" he looked at me with wide eyes.
"Disturbed? Not at all, did it bother you?" I couldn't help but ask him.
He sat up straight in his chair."Of course not! How could I be disturbed by such a thing?" He looked to be telling the truth, he was quite a good liar.
*Ding* The light on his hands turned red, it seems he can't control who's lies it detects, ha.

"Hoh, not disturbed by that huh?" I chuckle to myself when I see the anger on his face.
"YOU! *deep breath* I'm the one who decides on whether you become a Rogue you know!?" He calmed himself down before slowly replying.
"Oh, so you make me one now?"
"Hmpf, you're lucky that anyone who passes that room gets the chance to become a rogue. Here." He threw me a scroll.
Huh, is it really so easy? I caught the scroll but before I could read it a bunch of text appeared in my vision:
[Quest - It's a Rogues life]
- Purchase a dagger.
- Purchase Poison.
- Accept assassination, kidnapping, theft or any other kind of mission.
- Complete a Rogue Mission
Reward:
Rogue Class.
"When you complete it come back, I'll sign your name here and then you will be a rogue!" The man laughed.
If I killed him could I just sign my name there? He wouldn't expect it, It would be quick and clean... What's his level?
[Modi]
(Age: 43)
(Level: 54)
(Class: Rogue, Level 50)
(Job: *Unable to read, please raise needed skill.*)
Ah... It's good that I wasn't rash his skills are probably far higher than mine.
This quest seems like a lot of work, I would need to sell the potions for money then buy weapons and poison AND complete a mission before coming back here?
"I want more rewards," I say as I continue to stare at him.
"Haha, a small person like you? Get reputation first." He sneers.
Before I could speak, my vision warped and I was transported back to the market above ground.
[Rogue's Class required]
I immediately rushed away, If anyone saw me suddenly appear in the middle of the market what would they think?

They would probably that I was trying to assassinate someone...
I hid in an alley not too far from the market to decide what I would do first, sell the Elixirs of life or accept a mission?
"Hey, how about you empty your pockets?"
I hear a muffled voice around the corner, I decide to sneak over there, there may be a profit.
"Please no! This is all I have for the month, my family will starve if you take it!"
I hide behind a discarded carriage and watch the scene play out.
There's a group of 4 men. Three large men and one scrawny looking one, they continuously threaten a middle-aged man who stands in front of what seems to be his family.
"Mommy I'm scared!" the little girl in ragged clothing whines to her mother.
"It's okay honey, daddy's got this under control." the father reassures her.
Looking at the scene, there's no profit in interfering, besides they seem like they will be here for a while. They have said the exact same things several times already its weird...
I think I'll leave these people to their fate and head towards the Adventurers Guild.
As its the adventurers guild they have missions for all classes so its easy to find one, it's just a matter of deciding on what mission I want...
Assassination - Begerath the mercenary. 100 G when the head is brought to the Kings Guard.
Theft - I require a certain scroll from a certain Merchant. Ask behind the desk for details.
Dungeon - Rogue required, find the Enot party for info.
Anyone - Auction buying slaves of all kinds, see receptionist for prices.
Hmm, most of these seem simple enough. There are truly many missions to choose from, I can't decide which is the most worth it... I will have to ask behind the desk.
The adventurers guild was practicly empty, only several people were inside.
The rest were probably on their missions somewhere.
"Could I have some information on some of the missions?" I was quite polite in asking the granny at the desk however she just handed me several pieces of paper that explained each one of the missions I had looked at.
I was curious how she knew what I had looked at, but I guess there is probably a skill for it to make their job easier.
Looking through the paper I'm not even slightly surprised with the contents...
Slavery makes the most money by far. Although I'm sure, there are many other missions that make a lot of money. Out of the ones I have seen so far, slavery is the best.
It says that prices change often, but some of the prices made me smile:
Women aged 25-35 - 50 gold each.
Girls aged 8-13 - 100 gold each.
Strong men - 25 gold each.
Weak men - 5 gold each
Why did these prices make me smile?
Haha, it's simple really...
I ran into a small family and a few strong men earlier and if my calculations are not wrong that's an easy 255 gold.
'NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT' An annoyingly loud voice rings from the back of my head.
"Are you going to cause me problems? Just shut up and fade away until I can get rid of you" I reply to my other half in my head.

But his brother has an offer even more unbelievable than reconciliation: the chance to cheat death by joining him in Archemi, a full-immersion fantasy VR-RPG videogame. Determined to forge a life worth living, Hector undergoes the experimental upload process and chooses the difficult path of the Dragon Knight.

This book is live on Amazon: click here to go to Amazon Trial by Fire (Archemi Online Book #2) is the sequel to Dragon Seed, the first book in the Archemi Online LitRPG/Gamelit series. It is largely standalone, but I highly recommend reading Dragon Seed first! One man. One game. One adorable baby dragon. Two weeks ago, Hector Park cheated death by uploading his mind to the ultra-immersive fantasy RPG game, Archemi. After exposing the rotten heart of an order of dragon knights, he’s now on the run with a young queen dragon who could one day become the most powerful mount in the game. To get strong enough to face their enemies, they need a quest – a big one. Fortunately, trouble has a way of finding Hector, and it does – in the form of a series of brutally murdered priests, a king in desperate need of a hero, and a beautiful, fiery berserker. The risk? Huge. The payoff? More gold than a dragon’s hoard. There's only one problem - Archemi is haunted by the ghost of a mad developer bent on making the game his personal playground. And now that the world outside has vanished in a storm of nuclear fire, there's no one left to stop him. Or at least, that’s what he thinks. Because Hector isn't the kind of man to take this shit lying down, and neither is his dragon. You can find Trial by Fire here: Trial by Fire on Amazon

Night Terror
Story is currently 'on hold' for an indefinite period of time - I will eventually post the whole thing when it's complete, see the news post for more details. After dying young, a man reincarnates into a new world as Abe Haruki. 'This whole world is suspicious...' Despite the fact that Haruki had never once met a god, even during his reincarnation, he couldn't help feeling that this world was just too... Intelligently designed? I mean, seriously... Levels? Classes? Stats? Items? You can even level up your abilities! 'Definitely suspicious...' Unfortunately, the Church have been keeping close tabs on him from the shadows. They've heard rumours of a boy, born with a golden ring. With magical affinities that defy logic. Darkness and light energies destroy each other, violently, so how does he have the affinity for both? Can Haruki live his peaceful life along side childhood friend Suzu? Or will they fall to the coming darkness? ::Author's note:: While there are stats and exp etc, it's not LitRPG. They are there, but not the focus in any way. The world is more hardcore - A human is soft, so a pierced lung should eventually kill them. Even though they have a small pool of HP, a single deadly blow can end it all. If you ever want to say G'day, I'm in the discord chat every now and then, so feel free to join the madness ;) Thanks for reading

Superficial Story
A story which is very, very, very superficial. Made because i can't write Ode to Freud right now because of something inside of me going "meeeeeeeeeh, don't wanna". So, reincarnation tag, op mc tag, YOLO tag, fuck you tag, all the fucking tags. Also, 18+ plus 'cause reasons. Also squared (²), no rape, no angst, no drama. Me don't like rape, me don't like angst, there might be some drama. edit: Shit, there's lot of rape. No angst however. Score.Good reading. Please comment because i'm a comment whore vampire incubbus and won't be able to keep reading without being feed with admiration and emotions from you, poor mortals. FEEEED MEEEE WITH ADMIRATION AND LOOOOVE!WORSHIIP MEEE!Also, if you want to really worship me then you can use this cat’s photo (https://v1.std3.ru/77/01/1374491618-7701b750f71457f08f766651f3c84875.jpeg) with my name written on the back of the picture. I would really appreciate sacrifices of healthy, natural, organic food, especially ripe, sweet, exotic and juicy fruit (you can eat the food 5min. after offering it to me in a clay or ceramic plate), rocks from abandoned wet mines, mild incense and a silent, nice, relaxing place. If you can chime a small bell twice or put some relaxing music in the background, dude… that. Would. Be. Fucking. Awesome!Thks, ‘k, bye.
