《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 4: The Adventurers Guild and my first mission.
Advertisement
I walked into the adventurers guild, I expected to see very rough guys or some drunk looking for trouble, but it wasn't like that.
There were few people; I guess not many people come around this area later; I will see my map to know where I am; as I walk to the reception, you can notice that all the adventurers are in shape as if they were gym muscled, I also see a board with papers of all kinds, I guess they are the quests around and their rewards.
As I keep walking, I overhear a conversation with the adventurers on the board.
Again, this goblin quest, but what the hell is up with those things, we completed it last week, but it came up again. They're like some cockroach men; you kill one, and then ten more come out; I'm not in the mood to do it. Yeah, and then there's the stench they release, god! I'd give them soap, but I'm sure they'd eat it. So it's decided, not this one, we'd better explore and hunt creatures from the surrounding area, maybe we can get some rare items.
Wow, there are goblins near this place; maybe I should get some knife or something to protect myself; who knows what other beasts are hiding in the surroundings? Apart from looking at my map, I should also get a weapon.
Once I had planned everything I had to do, I arrived at the reception, and in it, there was a girl who seemed to be in her 20. I better not ask anything; with the experience, I had with Erick, who knows how many years she has.
Good morning, what can I do for you? Good morning, I just came into this world, and Mr Erick told me I should get an ID. Oh? So you are a new resident, no problem. Please place your hand in the crystal ball and tell me your information to register you. Marco Diaz, Age 30, Single. Okay, wait a moment, I'm going to check your integrity.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crystal ball began to flash; while it did so, I watched as the receptionist started to use what appeared to be a computer to record the data; after a few seconds, a ringing sound.
Ready, the integrity of your words has been confirmed; please place a drop of blood on this card.
The receptionist took out a card from her desk; it has a metallic look, with a size of 8.5 x 5.5 centimetres and curiously, it is blank.
Without thinking much, she pricks my finger with a needle and drops a drop of blood on the card; a few seconds later, the card starts to change; on it is a picture of me and my personal information.
When I held the card, a notification came out in front of me:
"You have obtained a new item."
[Adventurer's Card]
[On it is one's basic information].
[Necessary to enter the cities and avoid getting an arrow in the knee].
Eh? what the hell is wrong with this description? Well, I better not think about it, it's not a big deal, but I'm still curious about the letter "F" in the lower right corner.
Excuse me, what is that "F" there? It is the rank you are currently in. Everyone who arrives for the first time to AETHER starts as a rank F adventurer. Still, if you do not want to be one and instead want to exercise another type of activity, you have to approach the corresponding guild area and change, the first time, there is no cost, but the second time, you will be charged ten gold coins, please keep that in mind. How expensive! It has to be, took this measure to avoid fraud at all times. I recommend you to take care of yours, in case you lose it, you will have to pay ten gold coins to get another one. I will keep it in mind, by the way, could you recommend me someplace to sleep, oh! and a safe and straightforward mission to get money in the meantime. The only place to sleep is the inn near the food market on the right-hand side. As for a safe and straightforward mission, I recommend collecting aromatic herbs, the pay is not much, but if you manage your money well, you can be comfortable for a while. Thank you very much; I'll take the mission now. Okay, good luck and be careful. Thank you!

After saying goodbye to the receptionist, I walk to the board; there are missions of all ranks, from F - D; let's see what's there.
[Mission: Two-headed Snake Hunt - Rank D]
[Mission: Goblin Hunt - Rank E]
[Mission: Transport Wheat - Rank F]
[Mission: Collect Silora Grass - Rank F]
[Mission: Search for bunny horns - Rank E]
[Mission: Help me find my Woolly Boar - Rank F].
Mmm, besides the herb gathering mission, you could also try the wheat transport mission, but first, let's see the ask for it:
[Mission: Collect Silora Grass - Rank F]
[I need Silora Herb to make my business Tea: 2 copper x 10 Silora Herb].
[Mission: Wheat Transportation - Rank F]
[Requires someone to load the wheat on my wagon and take it from the farm to the village: 10 copper coins].
They are not complex; I could collect the Silora Grass while on my way to the farm and help the lord with the wheat. Mmm, let's see what the other mission is about.
[Mission: Help me find my Woolly Boar - Rank F]
[My Woolly Boar escaped two days ago and hasn't returned until today, my son misses him a lot and won't stop crying, help me find him: 1 Silver Coin].
Mmmm, this mission seems simple, but it is not; if the boar escaped for sure, he went to the forest; in case I take this mission, I will have to go into the woods, and who knows what kind of creatures I will find, for the moment I will not take it, I will see if I find any clue of his whereabouts and if I find out where he is, and it is safe. I will return to the guild to take the mission and complete it; okay, the plan is done.
[The following missions have been added.]
[Mission: Collect Silora Grass - Rank F]
[Mission: Transport of Wheat - Rank F]
All set, now let's get going; that time is money!!!!
