《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.

Riftwalker
Legend speaks that a roaring force of insatiable abyss lies beneath the peaceful overworld. Named the Rift after its chasm-like entrances, this unexplored void has consumed the underneath for eons. What had seemed just a myth crawled out of unreality in the form of eldritch creatures. Reborn as something not entirely human, mankind rejected the boy. Thrown into the Rift by people who feared him, he had to live in a world run by monsters as a newborn. Surviving, however, wasn't his only difficulty as he soon had to decide whether he would save the people who banished him or simply idle as the Rift engulfed all life. As of chapter 9, Riftwalker is on a very small hiatus. I'm very busy with work atm :( Here are a couple of things to expect: Lots of action and exploration! Diverse and refreshing creatures; There are good and evil. Satisfying progression and coming of age. The protagonist stands out but isn't overpowered. There are some litRPG elements, but it's not a determinant factor. The fights are decided through one's combat skill and experience and not stat-checking. Oh, and some other info: There is a bit of gore, but nothing disturbing. Occasionally, there will be images of the scenery and landscape. Chapters will be around 1,5k to 2k words long, and the releases will probably be relatively slow, sorry.

Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?
