《Arden's place》Chapter 8
Advertisement
“So are we on something like the Americas of a different world?”
After Arden and Matt had breakfast, they were walking towards the Adventurers' guild to attend the training. Meanwhile, Matt was talking about the book he read in the library yesterday.
“Yeah man, I couldn't believe it when I first read it. It was 112 years ago that they discovered this continent. Or rather, that they can discover?”
"What do you mean?"
“The author talks about a kind of black cloud. This black cloud encircled the entire continent, then suddenly disappeared 112 years ago, all races flocked here to get a share of this new land, and I saved the best part for last.”
“There aren't only 3 races dude, there are about a dozen more races, I guess we're just in a section where there aren't any other races"
Since Arthur and Matt had come to Petra, they had only seen the elven, human, and Dwarf races. Arden asked curiously when he brought up the subject of which Matt Arden was completely ignorant.
“What other races are there?”
“I couldn't find the definition of some of them, after all, the book did not fully explain, but a few were understandable.”
Matt paused a bit to fuel his excitement. Seeing the knowledge-hungry expression in Arden's eyes, he continued.
“Minators, centaurs, snake-people, Mermaids, but I think there are also males. I couldn't quite understand what the others looked like.”
As their conversation deepened, they realized that they already arrived in front of the Adventurers' guild.
The two entered the building, greeted the receptionist lady who had registered them with the Adventurer's guild, and then proceeded to the training ground behind the building.

There was no requirement to undergo training to join the Adventurer's guild. But no matter which adventurer you ask, he would say "if you have the money, join it". This was because the death rate of new adventurers was around %50 percent. This being the case, the high officials of the guild provided the new members with the opportunity to receive training. Hoping these training will help them in their journey.

Those who gave these trainings were the team that accepted the task opened by the guild.Those who gave these trainings were the team that accepted the task opened by the guild. That's why Arden was surprised when he couldn't see Edward, who was teaching yesterday.
“Hello all of you, I'm Sacha White lions scout. I reached level 26 after our last mission. And today I'm going to talk to you about tracking and plants that you can find in the wild that will make good money.”
Arden studied Sacha. It was clear from every voice that he was nervous. She didn't seem to have much to do with the crowds. But she continued to speak.
“Well, you have booklets with some herbs we prepared for you behind you, everyone, come and get one”
When Arden turned around, he saw a row of small hand-sized booklets stacked on top of each other. He went and got one for himself.
“As I wrote in the book, not all plants are collected in the same way, some plants are poisonous, so when you find such a poisonous plant, don't try to pluck it with your hands. First of all, if you don't have someone on your team who knows their spells like [Safe Hand] or [protection]. First of all … "
As the lesson continued, Arden turned his attention to the booklet in his hand. The uses of plants were listed in the book. While he was browsing through the pages of the Book, he found several herbs used to make magical potions that healed Matt's leg.
After Sacha finished talking about plants, the subject of the lesson was changed to tracking. He talked a lot about tracking. By the end of class, the sun was directly overhead.
Arden looked around and saw Matt chatting with several of the attendees.

“Hey Matt, see you tonight”
He didn't want to interrupt Matt's speech. In the end, he would need a team to join the missions. The people he met here could be his teammates in the future. Besides, Arden had work to do. He had to go to the land he bought with Mr. Alex for the first time.
—-------
Alex and Arden were examining the site where the inn was to be built. With the city walls gone, Arden saw his surroundings clearly for the first time. In front of them was a huge and clean lake. To the north were snow-capped mountains.
“I didn't know the view was this great”
“You are a very strange man, Mr. Arden.”
"How so"
“You gave 10 gold to a land you have never seen.”
“I guess you're right” Arden chuckled and said.
Events had developed very quickly. And the possibility of realizing the dream he had hidden in his heart had led him to make rash decisions. Arden realized that he was lost in thought, and Mr. He turned to Alex and spoke.
“You got the permissions, didn't you? When can we start?”
"Yes, everything is ready, we can start tomorrow after you approve the final plans"
Alex took Arden to the carriage they had used to get here, and together they began to study the plans. When Arden saw the view, he decided to add 2 floors with terraces overlooking the mountains and the lake. After making a few more minor changes, they decided on the final version.
“Mr. Alex, do you know a place where I can buy the furniture?"
Arden wanted to settle this problem that was occupying his mind as soon as possible. The inn was supposed to open in 2 weeks. But he still hadn't taken care of the furniture.
“Oh, I was going to tell you about that too. A close friend of mine is doing this job. You can meet all the needs of the Inn from there. I am sure will give you a good price”
“Is there any possibility of arranging a meeting today? I want everything to be ready for the opening”
“Of course, when we go to the city, let's go to his shop, and it would be better if I introduce you.”
Alex and Arden got into the carriage they used to come to the estate and started heading towards Petra. The roads were in worse condition than the roads Arden used to enter the city with the caravan. But a road had been opened for fishing and picnic purposes, and at least the carriages could be used on this road.
Their journey to Petra took 5-6 minutes. As soon as the carriage entered the city, it headed for the north side of the city. The northern side of the city was the part of the shops where the production enterprises were located. Many blacksmiths, furniture makers and tailors were here. Arriving at the shop Alex was talking about, the carriage stopped at the side of the road.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
