《Ares》Chapter 12 --------- Uproar in the Capital
Advertisement
A few weeks have past by since I graduated and I am now enjoying my time with my family and friends.
"Mars come on don't space out. I want to go to the adventurers guild and accept a few easy quests. Because without you coming along my father would of had had never allowed me to go on a quest."(roland)
"Yes I am coming you don't have to run you know. The adventurers guild won't run away now would it."(mars)
We arrived at the adventurers guild that looked like any normal guest house made out of wood and entered it. This time we didn't see a scene like the last timeand were able to go to the receptionist without a problem.
"Excuse me do you have any easy quests for picking flowers or to defeat slime for us?"(mars)
"Oh Yes but are you sure about fighting slimes. Thea might be weak but there attacks still sting."(receptionist)
"Yes" I said and showed her my emblem and the royal decree for Rol or else he won'tbe able to come with me.
"Silence........ Okay these are the quests that you asked for there is no time limit but if you can't complete these quests there is a penalty. For each quest you have to have the required rank. Do you have an adventurers card?(receptionist)
I said no and we paid 10 eath coins each and she gave us 2 cards one for the guild and one for ourselfs.
We were told to insert either mana or a drop of blood into each card. After we infused our mana into the cards. The cards colour changed from the original metal colour to black with golden lines for me and for Rol it changed into a light orange colour.
The receptionist first looked at Rol's card with astonishment and after thatlooked at mine with shock and withsome fear mixed in.

She told us thatthe cards were ranked like this:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Violet
Silver
Gold
Black
Black with Silver lines
Black with Gold lines
Red being the weakest and Black with Gold lines being the strongest. They were further split in light, middle and dark.
Light being the weakest in that colour category and dark being the strongest.
For example light yellow would be weaker than yellow and yellow being weaker than dark yellow.
She aslo told us that there was a legendary colour that hasn't been seen for a Millenia and the clour is platin.
The one that had been last seen was a woman named Glac Ice and was someome of the elven continent.
Legends also say that when you reach platin card you would become the next emperor of the 4 continents.
"Well we will be going now."(roland)
We gave her a 1 moon and went out of the guild heading to the forest. We arrived at the forest 15 minutes later and began our hunt for slimes.
After 3 hours we completed 10 of our 20 quests and went back to the guild to exchange them for our reward.
The same receptionist gave us 20 planet and we decided to do the rest tomorrow.
While we were heading back we talked about Rol's coming 4th birthday and mine a week after his and decided to make it a party were only close family were invited.
We also talked about rules that were normaly not spoken about and I learned something new.
That is that you are not allowed to fight on your birthday and neither are your guests. This rule i only action on your birthday and the next day everything will be back to normal. As this rule was made by a god no one can disobey it.

I told Rol about one of the graduants rules and he was shocked that something like this existed. Because you were not allowed to kill nor fight with someone when your or someone elses life was not on the line or when it isn't contained in the mission or quest.
Rol thought that this rule can truelly endager the graduants life because even if you are not in danger of losing yourlife you can still be kidnapped without a problem.
And even worse because of me being a noble and a child I would be the perfect targetto kidnap and to be sold as a slave because of my strong and robust body.
After our little chat we arrived at the palace and told uncle about our little adventure and after telling him my story I went back to my parent's mansion.
Thanks for reading and I hope that you enjoyed my story even with these strange turn of events.
You can also think of some ideas that I can use in the story so that it will become more interesting.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
