《The Path Finder System》chapter 5- could a smooth journey be a trap journey?
Advertisement
Being a level 0 being and worrying about future is not in my style. War happens everyday, there are many beings in the world, different ideologies create enough clashes to bury thousands of level 0 beings like me.
Level 0-10 is considered in the rank of ordinary humans.
Level 10 is considered the breakthrouh stage when one feels into contact of mana, Above it I dont know.
I the best couldn't even regret taking the token out of the body. it is better to keep the matter aside for now. Every danger comes with a shadow, at least for now I am not seeing anything which could warrant my attention.
Selling of the blue green grass,netted me 50 credit, the rest went away to the captain and the guild. A time wasting mission I say. No choice, some says they have netted about 500 credit in a day, depending upon their expertise; but for me I think it is better I focus on other mission.
I got 550 credits enough for me to support three days. Yet I have to go on a mission, as I could not be a 'grasshopper' when the stomach is on the line.
"Dear Everyone our distinguished guest wants to travel Moon Flower Forest, respected candidate who are interested, please kindly submit your name before two days, and if you participate now you can get twenty credits. All the equipment's will be granted by our client"
I highly doubt whether it would be any normal mission. My point proved as I looked into the mission details. Its a compulsory mission, once joined for a post there is no turning back.
My opportunity came too quickly, though I kindly reminded by respected receptionist aunty, not to participate in this type of mission, I think she will understand.
I searched out to find that there was not a single level 0 beings with me, though quota has its limit. it is kind of lonely.
I discussed with Macro brother regarding my compulsory mission, his only advise not to do any thing reckless. This type of mission contains certain risks of varying degrees according to time and place.
My mission is to carry food packages, weapons or sometimes I could be used as a cannonon fodder, withought strength nobody could voice their opinion. there are countless level 1 members who are eyeing my position though I didn't heed it.
Compulsory Mission pave the future foundation for the main members of the guild. Chiselling out the inherent talent in different mission is the main priority of the guild and compulsory mission is the best ground.

cumpulsory missions contains extra credits . I have the most simple mission of carrying food containers. I am not too worried about the danger this time.
The member who participate are up to level 4.
I with the rest of the team member had a large container in one hand, they all have provided me with leather armour, though i have to return it back.
In front of me is the level 9 mercenary Jack, A tall man in twenties with broad shoulder and arrogant look. He is close to choose his class, from the looks of it he will choose warrior class.
My team mates says " Looking at him anyone can think he carries certain stories all that is to be done is to satisfy the curiosity. A certain charm that makes people want to talk to him. He has been working in Soul Wolf mercenary Guild for years. Successful task rate 100%, Many Employees look for him, he has a great right to choose his mission;To think he choose his mission itself is wonderful"
He is leading the team, his only instruction is to obey the instruction, when the time comes.Nobody raised an objection, those who has, have already been dealt with. There is no any dissatisfaction, members of the team know this mission is unusual, danger is at every corner. Concentrating on human unity can have unimaginable effect rather than a scattered mob.
I am the only one who is level 0 in this team, many team member objected to it, but team leader Jack objected by saying " All depend upon luck", members know that it is not luck, but the opportunity. Still some raised an objection, only to have a fierce look from the captain and just from one sentence of his ' Are you questioning me" made everyone shut up.
I am wondering why did Jack stood up for me, is there any motive in it or id he casually did it on a whim. I should be replaced, for an unusual mission it is better for the team having an extra arm, rather than a rookie.
The first level of Moon Flower forest is usually covered in fog. There are many mountains which have been excavated, and are protected. Adventurers lurk here and there.
The second level of Moon Flower Forest is not protected there are still many unknown factors starting from level 2 region. Many speculation has been made. The most rediculous one is-There is a beast state in the center. The magnetic field starting from level 2 region is distorted, and in an war-torn nation soldiers are valuable and the nation is not willing to send these soldiers to death, for the morale of the nation and for the upbringing of the nation.

There are specially made forces for these particulars.
After reaching the Moon Flower forest, and waiting for two hours-
"Here comes the customer"
I am totally awed by their appearance.Six men with inconspicuous white armour with circle in the centre, special alloy steel pants, white boots and standard six inch sword stood in front of us.
These six men's are from the military of ring empire. These clothes do not distinguish their rank. They can only be distinguished through the ID issued in Military..
Team leader Jack went to the least distinct Men to show the respect to the military, which is a basic etiquette to these Men's. Ring Empire fiercely advocates the military etiquettes. These soldiers are highly respected and there are even case where special soldiers who won great medals are given respect than the high ranking nobles. Though it is not necessary to advocate basic etiquette. There are cases where soldiers and nobles or soldier and commoner have a problem, soldiers can produce witness showing him that the nobles or commoner didn't show him basic respect, he can put up the charges to increase his side with proper evidence and testament.
" Hey found out the man with black mole in his cheeks is the squad leader of northern Battalion"
"Really?, What is he doing here?"
"This mission should be interesting"
Without any start a shorty said "Why is there a brat in our team, look at him still wearing those dark cloak like rats", " I say brother why don't you quit"
I didn't bother to argue with them.
We soon reached the gateway which will lead us to level 2 region directly. Passing through the gateway will possibly reduce the level of exposure of the mission. It is used specially by military personal.First time experiencing a portal. just felt like droning in a river. Though only for an instantance.
It is all brownish-green desert.I have to pinch my nose to walk on, I only see brown coloured wasteland and anything vibrant is either poisonous or have high medicinal value.This is an area I found pass by poisonous snakes every minute. they are roaming around without any sense of identity. Mostly snakes lie on the bushes, or in the cracks, or above trees dangling around, but here it slithers around like an animal, roaming around in the wild, having its own group wriggling its tail and moving its tongue.
The whispering sound can make an adult man nervous, a coward to pee, a woman to cry and a child to scream. It is too gloomy for my poor heart. I pray I coul get some extra cash for all these sufferings.
Killing these snakes of level 0 and level 1 are very simple for a level3 mercenary, but for below it is dangerous.The more we are closing on their territory, we are ruthlessly attacked.
Only four of us have some difficulty in handling the snakes. My mental capacity constantly draining as I have to use my sword to constantly to save my hair. Jack occasionally glanced at me as we are supported by our team mates.
I remembered their help in my heart, I thanked Aunty for her advices, it helps me a lot. Whenever a snake silently attacks me, its teeth couldn't even lay a scratch on my this leather suit.
"Look he is blocking; he doesn't actively attack the snake; what a coward"
No matter what they are grumbling about they are supporting me; most of the snakes are solved by them.
i have eaten jelly beans, but a living jelly, seeing for the first time.They don't have an organ, they can feel sensitivity to vibration, they arelevel 3, killing a dozen of them is very simple, the danger starts when they have a leader, they learn tactics to fight, these pumpkin race has survived from generation to generation its dangerous to play solo with them. They are the 'slimes'
The most important part in its body is core, tougher than a turtle shell, blasting it with ice or fire, kills it directly.
In this century, I guess there coulbe more advanced method. Like I thought,the imperial men's prepared there best natural method to deal with the slimes. They call it 'core resonator' a tool that looks like a rubber ball producing the vibration which is enough to immobilize them.
I moved along with my mates through the muddy area, the slimes have started attacking us, the prepared men silently activated the core resonator.
The slime freeze on their spot as we collected their lives, their core simply stored by whoever gets it. It is kind of easy now a days to kill a slime tribe I guess.haha.
The journey is going smoothly, will it be the same for the following days?

Chaos uploaded
At year 2100, there was a new game that was being developed: "Realms of chaos" With cutting edge technology, realistic physics(At least, as far as fantasy-medieval worlds goes), and immersion to the point one could believe it was real, it is destined to become world-wide famous. Two siblings, Nysa and Inas, received the right of beta-testing the game, along with other players...although with the beta-test, many difficulties came together with it: Unfair enemies, lack of clues, lack of linear paths, and above all, no set of rules of how one should play. Nysa, being the less competitive out of the two siblings, has decided to play the game just for fun.But little does she knows how much the action of a single player, who just wants to explore and have fun, can change the realm of chaos. This is my first story, and I'll upload whenever I manage to get through the writers' block.Due to college starting, uploads might be erratic. Feel free to review and comment!
