12 Life without purpose is not living

This unlocking quest would have to wait. Fighting with a Grade-A ninja right now is impossible.

From what I learned from the classes with the old man. Monsters were categorised according to their threat level. From F to A where F is the weakest and A is the strongest. A monsters threat level is mostly measured by the mana in their body and other variables.

And in this world, if a human had the skills to kill a Class-A monster then he would be considered as a Grade-A expert. Meaning someone that has the ability to at least fight with a Grade-A monster

So a Grade-A ninja is someone capable of killing a Grade-A monster.

If I were to be graded then I think I could barely be counted on as a Grade-F. A very weak monster. The same level as those slimes for a newbie you find in RPG games.

A Grade-A ninja could easily kill a Grade-F monster with a blink of its eye. What's more of someone like me who could be barely counted as one. One might think this is an exaggeration. But I tell you, humans, here are not like any other like on Earth. People here were capable of causing catastrophic events like a tsunami or a storm at will.

I've even heard that there was a man who was feared by many because he has sunk an island country with a single spell just because he was bored. And he was a Grade-A mage. Imagine how destructive a Grade-A ninja could be. I don't even want to imagine.

I could barely scratch a baby here so what more fighting against someone of that calibre. So for the current me, handling a quest where I had to fight with a Grade-A ninja is an impossibility. Maybe in the future, I could buy a Superman outfit and put a fight with a top-class expert. Luckily the quest didn't have an expiration or something so I could take my time.

Alright, let's stop thinking about complicated stuff and just spend the entire day lazing around.

…

The next day.

When I woke up I found that my leg was sticky and covered with saliva. This saliva came from Snow who was licking me as I slept and I presume who later fell asleep on my leg. I could see Snow fast asleep on my legs with its mouth wide open and saliva flowing out of its mouth then into my legs like a river.

My fur was stiff and sticky due to the saliva. When I got up I found out that it didn't hurt as it did before. I could walk around normally now. At first, I thought it was due to numbness due to my leg being used as a pillow but I think my leg healed as it was soaked in saliva all night long.

Since I had the strength. I "prepared" breakfast. As I did that I've thought a lot of things myself.

Could I really continue living this way? Just living from begging for food and living in a place illegally. Technically I could but my human self didn't quite agree.

I mean, after all, I was a human in mind. I have desires. Aspirations and goals that I want to do. My way of life right now was just surviving today then also survive for tomorrow. That isn't really living.

There was this quote that I liked very well. It goes on like this.

A life without purpose is a tragedy worse than death.

What am I like right now is just like that. A boat floating with no destination. One day to be such by the tides of life.

Maybe a cat's life didn't suit me.

No, it's just the way I'm doing things right now is wrong.

I have to make a change!

…

Inside the Adventure's Guild.

The guild was crowded with adventurers like it always have. Today was not so different. Well, maybe a little.

Just then a girl in simple clothing walked in. Her clothes covering every part of her body. But even so, it was unable to hide her curvy figure. The beauty in her eyes glowed like the sunrise. Her golden hair waving as the breeze blew gently. Rosy cheeks cover her face. Her face was nothing short of an art orchestrated by the Gods their self.

Everyone's attention was on her as they wondered who she was.

A minor character went up to strike a conversation but was met with cold eyes. He didn't feel any anger or shame as he was struck in awe of her beauty.

"May I ask what this beauty is doing here?" A male clerked asked while casting flirtatious stares.

"I'm Alexia and I'm here to sign up as an adventurer." The girl answered amiably.

"Here's a pen. Just answer all the questions here." The clerk said handing over a pen. Of course, he didn't forget to steal a touch before handing it to her.

She just smiled in gratitude. She might have seemed very calm outside but inside her mind was in chaos.

What the heck is this gross dude doing?

How dare he touch my hand like a pervert?!

Are you Gay?

The girl was none other than Alex who was using Sexy Jutsu to change her form into that of a girl. The clothes she was wearing was just stolen somewhere.

…

I'm at the guild in my Sexy Jutsu form.

I'm planning to become an adventurer to earn money. So that I could buy a house for us four to live. Then we wouldn't have to eat leftover foods and could afford to eat at some fancy restaurant. This was my simple dream for now.

And this is my first step toward that dream.

"I'm done filling up the papers!" I then passed the papers I've just finished filling up to the clerk who then checked it.

"No problems. Miss Alexia" the clerk grinned as he inched closer his hand towards mine.

Damn, this guys is gross.

I could only put on a fake smile. Let's just finish this

"Are we done?"

"Ah, yes! You just need to place your hands over here" the clerk then took out a crystal-ball-like thing. Then further explaining, "This crystal ball will scan how much mana you have so we could proceed with your rank."

I was familiar with things like this. One would be able to find a similar thing in every novel with the same purpose and that is determining one's talent. Usually, the protagonist would show extraordinary talent which would make the crystal ball break. If not then the protagonist would show negative results but that's because he probably has some different power that the crystal can't scan or a strong existence is protecting the mc.

I wonder what mine would be.

After putting my hand into the orb. It didn't shine brightly to the point it blinded everyone then breaking under the immense pressure or something. It was a very common scene. The ball shone faintly signifying that I had normal mana levels.

The clerk added the info on my form as he said, "Barely enough mana to count as a Grade-F mage." He seemed disappointed and all but what do I care what he thinks. And in the first place, my real power isn't magic or mana but the almighty system! So I wasn't really bothered too much. But I was a bit disappointed.

"If you would follow me here to make your badge." The clerk led me by the hand.

Thought it would be somewhere else but it was literally just right beside the clerk's counter.

"Old Gush, make this as beautiful as her, can you?" The clerk said to the man who was busy making something on his workbench.

Judging from his small limbs and pointy ears. This man should belong to the race Dwarf. How cool it is to actually meet one. It also seems that they are also masters of crafts here.

Similarly, the man checked me up from bottom to top and joked.

"I'm afraid that a dragon's core would pale in comparison to her beauty."

Ah...If I'm not wrong a core only looks like a small bead. If it's the core of a dragon it should be just larger. I don't find where's the beauty in that.

Despite thinking that I nevertheless smiled.

"I'm not that beautiful"

The man smiled and laughingly said, "Truly beautiful both in the outside and inside. Just like a pristine diamond"

Being complimented like this is worse than I thought

Why didn't this outfit come with a Reverse Sexy Jutsu.
