Extract from “The adventurer’s guide, Chapter 2 – Your job as an adventurer”
“Now that you are all familiar with the structure of our beautiful world, let’s talk about your job as an adventurer. First and foremost, please keep in mind that adventurers are the life line of humanity as most of the materials necessary in daily life are no longer present on the 2 lowest floor of Tower.
Let’s take steel for example, steel is the most used mineral in the whole empire especially because of it’s various uses in blacksmithing. It is vital to the everyday life the empire, yet it cannot be mined anymore on the two lowest floor. So what do we do ?
If you thought the answer was simple as we just have to send adventurer hunt steel golem then i will give you full mark. Now, joke aside, humanity as no choice but to send adventurers out into the wild in order to gather numerous materials. Once defeated, the creatures you kill must be thoroughly disassembled for materials, be it the ivory of monster’s teeth or simply their fur, everything has value and should be stocked in your sturdy magic backpack.
The reward will change depending on the kinds of material you bring back, their quality and the current offer of the market. For example, killing a lesser steel golem on the 8th floor will usually result in getting around 2 tonnes of steel which amount to around 20 gold.
For those of you that still don’t realise how much 20 gold amount to, remember that such an amount of money will be enough to drown yourselves in alcohol and women for a whopping 40 months. Of course, you will have to share that amount of money equally with the other members of your party but, given the relative weakness of lesser steel golem in the world of Tower, hunting them will soon become easy and bring you tremendous amount of money.

By the early 2000s almost nowhere was willing to tolerate unregulated men and women dispensing their own form of justice. The dawn of the internet made operating in the shadows virtually impossible.
