*sits down and is ready to write*

my brain: IDK LOL
me: ._.
=========
"A guide for the dungeon, and a consultant. We will also take 3 mind potions as extra in the guild started kit." Rivera explained what they needed as Bell was filling up the registration documents for the guild. "And a leather shoulder-bag too if you have it."
on the other side of the counter was standing Eina Tulle, a half-elf and Riveria niece.
"done, and done." Eina said as she wrote everything requested on a piece of paper and turned to her fellow receptionist. A beastkin, a werewolf to be precise. Mature and beautiful face, nice curves, and long red hair with wolf ears on top of it. Rose Fannett the girl who broke the hearts of thousand adventurers.
Sensing the pair of eyes on her, the red-haired werewolf turned her head toward them and saw her friend Eina looking at her with a smile.
"Rose, can you please go bring the items on this list?"
"Me? it's your client, you do it!"
"Please! I will buy you lunch tomorrow!" ultimately, Rose clicked her tongue and walked away to the storage room while taking the list from the half-elf.
"Do you always make someone else do your work?" Riveria asked as she watched the grumpy werewolf disappearing behind a door.
"I'll buy her, her favorite food as compensation" Eina replied and looked at the white-haired boy filling up the documents some distance away on a nearby table. "He doesn't look like much, but since you asked for Mind Potions, he is probably a magic caster, so it's to be expected." After all, magic requires a lot of studying, thus mage's don't spend much time exercising.
If only she knew how easy Bell acquired his magic spells...
"Have you seen him use his magic?" Riveria gave a nod. "Well? What do you think? I'm curious, it's not every day you see a human mage, after all. Not to mention he is so Young." the half-elf inquired.
Humans could indeed learn magic without the help of falna, but that was a small minority of them, a natural human mage is VERY rare. 99% of human Adventurers that can use magic got their ability from skills or a grimoire... if they were rich enough, that is. Natural Human mages without skills must spend more time studying to compensate for the magical talent of other Races.
So if Bell is a magic caster, and was personally escorted by Riveria, the most powerful mage in Orario...just how talented was he? Loki wouldn't want Bell to be registered in the Guild unless he is ready to dive into the dungeon, the first 4 floors at the very least. After all, Loki is one of the more... Overprotective goddesses out there. But could a Kid so young truly cast a spell that does noteworthy damage?
"I didn't expect much from him either. But his spells would allow him to dive into the 4th floor Solo, and provide good help for a Level 1 party on the 7th floor. The only real problem is his experience. It's clear he never fought against a monster by the way he walks and carries himself." Eina almost couldn't believe what she was hearing. If it were anyone else that told her this, she would not believe them...but Riveria is a magic expert, so she had no choice and took every word seriously.
The half-elf once again turned to look at the bunny-like boy who was finishing writing the information needed on the registration papers.
Can a human mage truly possess such talent? Be so young and already use spells that would allow him to solo the 4th floor?? Eina couldn't help but think about the rumors that will soon spread around Orario. "Kid wanders inside the dungeon and kills all monsters with magic." or something like that.
"Lady Loki has very good luck." was all that Eina said after processing the information given to her.
The sound of something hitting the counter made Eina snap from her shocked state.
"Here!" Rose said and shot a glare at her friend. "I expect a good lunch tomorrow." and with that said, she walked back to her counter.
Both Eina and Riveria let out a silent laugh at this. Eina because she was amused at Rose's attitude, and Riveria because she was amused by Eina's antics.
"All done Ms. Eina." both of them looked at Bell who finally finished filling up the paperwork and sliding it toward the half-elf.
Taking the paper and giving it a quick once-over, Eina gave Bell a nod and placed it on the stack of papers on her desk.
"Everything is filled correctly, with this done you are officially an adventurer, Mr. Bell. Here are the items requested" Bell took gently the leather shoulder bag from Eina and put it on. The weight of it told him that the book he requested was already in it.
"When are you planning to go into the dungeon, Mr.Bell? I would advise having a quick conversation with an advisor before you went in."
"I'm planning to go into the 1st floor tomorrow as a test, and maybe the 2nd if I will not have any problems with the former. I will plan to go deeper after I read the necessary information in the dungeon guide and if my advisor gives me the green light." The response earned a blink from Eina.
"You found a reasonable one." the half-elf said to Riveria making her smile in amusement at her niece shock.
"Then I will be expecting you tomorrow, Mr.Bell, my name is Eina Tulle and I will be your dungeon advisor." Bell took the hand Eina offered and shook it with a smile.
"I'll be in your care then. Also, please just call me Bell."
"In that case, just call me Eina."
With all their business done, Riveria and Bell said their goodbye to Eina and walked out of the guild. Next destination... Babel tower! What for? The Armor, of course!
Riveria made Bell enter almost every shop containing rookie gear, made him wear a hundred, if not A THOUSAND different armor sets, and made him describe everything when he wore them. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! How much of a fit it is, what areas feel too tight, which areas feel too loose, etc.
The elven princes didn't even bat an eyebrow as Bell described the worry for his future children when one armor was especially tight around his crotch area.
Nevertheless, after long hours of searching, they finally found the perfect match.
And it looked surprisingly similar to the enhanced feline armor from the Witcher 3, with a hoodie added to it.

Bell never felt more relieved when they finally paid for the armor, marking an end to one of the worst nightmares known to man...shopping for clothes with a woman.
Fallowing the elven princess and making small conversation with her, Bell didn't even notice when they were back at the twilight manor.
"Weren't we supposed to buy a staff for me next?" at his question, Riveria smiled.
"It will be waiting in your room. Have a nice day Bell, I need to go back to my duties. It was nice talking with you." without giving him a chance to reply, Riveria walked off into one of the many corridors of the twilight manor.
Confused and Intrigued, Bell started to walk to his room, and when he finally arrived at his destination he saw a lone staff with a note attached to it laying on his bedroom table. Walking up to it, he took the note and started to read it.
"hey little bunny, hope you had fun walking through Orario with Riveria! Ya' may have been confused why ya' didn't buy a staff, but it's kinda a tradition for me to buy my child's first weapon.
Have fun in the dungeon tomorrow, and make momma proud!
~Mommy Loki"
Letting out an "oh" of acknowledgment, Bell placed the note down on the table and took his new staff.
It was a long stick made out of some sort of dark, almost black, wood with one of its ends holding a purple crystal with small branches. The wood had a pleasant feeling when he was holding it, in a weird way it gave Bell a feeling that the staff was happy at his touch. As he caressed the crystal on the staff with his fingers, a pleasant sense of...something, entering his fingertips, meet him as he did it.

taking a chair and sitting on it, Bell let out a satisfied sigh as he relaxed on it.
"Alright, now no matter how shitty the spin is going to be, it will not sour my mood." he said with a smile on his face and summoned his system with a mental command.
{do you wish to use your daily lottery spin?}
"yup!" with the text on the game-like screen freaking out, Bell put his feet on the table and waited.
{Necronomicon}
...
...
...
After a long silent minute, Bell let out a long, low, silent screech filled with fear and terror.
