Re: Player

Crying like a child in front of me, she was kind of attracting a lot of attention here. Though I couldn't help but question why was she even here? Shouldn't she be taking care of Ameliana?

I bent down and reaching down to her level with my face in front of her.

"It's all right. I will help you out," I spoke with a smile as I added," don't worry. We will get you back home. Can you tell me anything you remember about your parents?"

She looked at me bedazzled as her cheeks turned slightly red before she muttered," I didn't plan that ahead."

"What?"

"What?"

"..."

"..."

'Seriously, what is it that she wants?' I was getting more and more confused.

"All right. I will take you to the nearest security center. Is that fine?" I spoke before looking around to the closest female that I could find. If Alepsia wants something, then she can interfere.

"Ummm… Excuse me. Can you tell me the nearest security center?" I asked, looking at a young girl who was keenly observing us both. Hearing me call her out, she got a bit surprised before she composed herself,"uh… yeah. It's straight from here. You will easily make it out of the rest of the buildings."

I nodded with a thankful face," thank you."

"Ah! It's okay. I should be thanking you for trying to help out a child. It's not every day that we find good people like you," that lady smiled thankfully before slowly walking away from there," then. I will take my leave."

Watching her go, I smiled before I turned to Alepsia,"Hold my hand. Let's go."

Alepsia didn't speak anything as she silently held my hand before I began walking towards the security center. While I was walking towards the security center, I once again took a proper look at the Holy city. 𝚋ｅ𝚍ｎ𝚘ｖｅ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐

White marbled houses, with lamps that emitted holy energy. The gold lacing at edges supplemented by the green plants, the area looked as majestic as always. It was honestly a relaxing atmosphere, much befitting the name Holy City.

"You like the city?" Alepsia, who was silent up until now, spoke up.

"Why wouldn't I? Even breathing here is refreshing compared to the deserts where I just came from. You like it here, don't you?" I asked back with a refreshing smile. This place has almost everything that I need to build a small foundation before moving to the Border City.

"Yup! I love it!" Alepsia spoke cheerfully before we talked about a few small things and I reached the security center. Nothing much happened after that as I dropped her there. The priest from the church came running within a few minutes and picked her up.

"Here, take it. Sorry for causing problems for you," the priest spoke as he gave 10 gold coins to me. I just gawked at those coins before looking at the priest hurriedly taking Alepsia away from here.

{Author's note: 1 Gold Coin = 100 Silver Coins = 10,000 Bronze Coins}

"Thank you, Mr. Adam," she shouted with a bright smile before vanishing from there. I guess she was just testing me out? Well, I hope I passed.

"Ummm… can you tell me where the adventurer's guild is?" I asked as I looked at the security person and he then gave me the directions. Nodding at him, I began moving towards the guild.

'First is to secure money. Since we have 10 gold coins as starting funds, let's aim for 100 gold coins at the end of the 14 days. Since I am at Level 21 still, let's try reaching 25 for starters. Hmmm… that leaves the last thing to do… to find an organization to get affiliated with and rise in ranks.'

My thoughts kept running as I walked through the streets of the holy city, Azenor. I need to make sure that I have everything before I reach the players.

'Though that would be just the start,' I sighed before I reached the guild building.

The guild building was huge! From the outside, it was like a small mansion with a grand entrance. The gate itself was at least a dozen meters tall, with 2 guards on both sides standing with a spear in their hands.

[Name: Trevor

Race: Human

Level: ???]

[Name: Rey

Race: Human

Level: ???]

'Monsters,' I sighed as I moved into the guild. Just like outside, it was even more fascinating from the inside. There was a large reception area with a joined restaurant on the side. There was also a weapons' shop within the guild, where you could buy weapons with your reputation points.

"Hey! You!" I heard a feminine voice from the receptionist area. Turning towards the source of the voice, I saw the face of the girl waving her hand at me.

'Ah! It's her,' I thought as I moved towards her. She was the same person who told me the directions to the security center. She worked in the adventurer's guild, huh?

"Small world, huh?" She spoke with a smile while I nodded at her. Looking at her name tag, I answered," I guess so. Evelyn Willberg, right?"

"Yeah. Sorry for the late introductions," she apologized with an awkward face before I chuckled and answered," it's alright. The name is Adam. Would you help me out a little?"

Hearing my words, she nodded as she went into professional mode," Ah! Okay. How may I help you, Mr Adam?"

I couldn't help but chuckle at such a change, making her embarrassed a little before I put my card on the table.

Though her expression changed again as she looked at my adventurer's ID.

"HUH?!"
