12 Chapter 10: The Adventurer Guild

I woke up the next morning feeling dizzy, and with Albana's head on my chest.

"Hey zemra, where were you last night?" she said as soon as I opened my eyes.

"I made this new friend, Butrint. Did I tell you about the fake passes yet?"

"Yeah you did. It's really great, I thought about getting them too but I had no contacts here yet. By the way, when you came home you were acting really weird, and kept kissing different parts of my face, calling me Speedy, then fell asleep."

"Oh yeah, I was really high. Butrint and I ate a lot of shrums and hashish. It was a really fun time. I felt all the stress in my body go away,"

"Oh, that's good, but maybe you shouldn't do too many drugs? it could be dangerous..."

Again, Albana was trying to control me, which was a little annoying, but it also made me feel good I had someone caring about me.

"Yeah, I hear you," I said, "by the way, did you fix our clothes?"

"Yeah yeah," Albana said and jumped out of the bed and went to the corner of the room. Her butt bounced a little which is always a good sight for the eyes.

"Look, I fixed them all," she said and jumped back on the bed with the black robe and my black jeans.

"Great job," I said and padded her on the head. "I guess we're set to go. Let's just have a normal day at the dungeon today. No more dangerous stuff. Let's say, only down to the 9th floor at most."

"Sounds good," Albana said with a smile and squinted her eyes. She looked too cute. I put my arm behind her head and pulled her in for a kiss.

***

While we were in the dungeon, I practised the wind flying magic.

"Wow that's really cool!" Albana said.

I was about 3 meters in the air flying upright while we were walking.

I practised going up and down quickly and having more precise control of the flying.

I could also feel that it was starting to get easier to fly, and that it drained less energy. Not that I needed to worry about mana points, according to Butrint.

"Hey Albana," I said.

"Yes?"

"How many mana points do you have?"

"Oh, I have 1890 points."

"Huh, that's pretty high?"

"Yeah, but before meeting you I mostly just did healing magic and specialized in that, so it's taking a lot of mana for me to get used to these new offensive spells."

Just then, ahead of us, a pack of monster wolves came.

We had gotten used to them by now, so they weren't really a challenge, but that didn't mean we could let out guard down.

Albana already started chanting the second she saw them.

While I was up in the air, I tried to see if I could use one hand to fire a spell while my other three limbs kept me up.

I pointed my right arm towards the wolves and loaded up a Fireball, and then I lost balance and hit face first into the ground, and my Fireball shot off into the distance, completely missing the wolves.

Albana fired off her fireball and hit some of the wolves.

"Arben!" she said, rushing over to me.

I had a couple of scratches and cuts on my face and arms, but I could sense them starting to regenerate immediately without any conscious thought.

Seeing that, an idea entered my mind: If I train flying enough, then it should become an unconscious action like my regeneration?

"Don't worry, I'm fine," I said.

I quickly loaded a fireball and killed the rest of the wolves heading towards us.

***

We called it a day and headed home.

We had made 30 euros from that dungeon-dive, which was decent.

Still, I needed 5000 euros to free Butrint. I then told Albana about the plans to free Butrint and start our own company.

"Huh..." she said.

"What is it?"

"Well... from the way you described Butrint last night, is he the type of person you can trust?"

"Hey!" I said and grabbed her arm.

Her comment really pissed me off.

Butrint may have been a drug-abusing, brothel-frequenting unscrupulous businessman, but to me he was a dear friend and loyal fellow Dukagjinian.

"Don't talk like that about him bre, he helped you out too with that fake pass," I said.

"Oh yeah, you're right, sorry," she said.

I let go of her arm.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't mean to get mad," I said.

"Oh, it's fine. I know you're a man, so sometimes you need to touch me roughly," she said and looked up at me with a cheeky look.

She sure was good at teasing me. And that comment made me expect great things to come tonight.

***

It's the same dream again. I know what happens. I am flying above those two heads with dog ears on top of them. I am about to hear that scream again. What do I do? Oh yeah, simple solution: Using my feet to stabilize midair, I use my hands to create and throw a huge Waterball on them which incapacitates them. I can hear them coughing for air. I fly away.

I wake up hot and sweaty with Albana sleeping on top of me.

I slide her off of me without waking her, and go to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Oh yeah, I gotta meet with Butrint today," I remember.

I go over to Albana to wake her up.

"Hey zemra ime, let's go do our dungeon dive now. I have to meet with Butrint later."

She is laying on her stomach naked. She wakes and turns towards me. I start touching her flat chest while she's talking.

"Hey zemra, actually, since we have the fake passes now, I was thinking we go join the adventurer guild and do some quests for today instead of going to the dungeon?"

"What's an adventurer guild?"

"Oh right you don't know, I keep forgetting. So an adventurer guild is a place where anyone can register themselves as independent contractors, and start accepting quests for pay, like gathering special materials, or slaying monsters in the forest. And the more of these quests that you do, the better quests you get offered to do."

"Oh, that sounds good. Let's do it right away," I said.

***

The head office of the adventurer guild was near the center of Prishtina, but they also had a branch office near all the adventurer inns.

We first ate some gjevrek at the furra near our inn, then headed to the guild nearby.

Inside the guild, there was a long line of desks filled with receptionists, and behind those desks there were a lot of office workers handling paperwork.

The entire guild was 10 floors tall, and this was only the first floor.

As we entered the building, immediately a pretty receptionist ran over and grabbed my arm.

"Hello, you are a new adventurer right?" she said.

"Yeah, we are here to register," I said, pointing over to Albana who had been completely ignored by the receptionist.

"Mire, mire!" she said, "Follow me!"

We went over to her desk.

I looked over at the other receptionist and they were all hot, young women.

I then took the time to study my receptionist: She was a brunette with sexy lips, long brown hair, and huge boobs.

"So what's your names? And do you have any credentials with you? for example a pass" she said.

"Yeah, here," I said and we gave our fake passes. "

"My name is Arben," I said.

"My name is Albana," Albana said.

"Oh Arben! That's such a handsome name," she said, completely ignoring Albana. Albana put her arm around mine, and pressed her chest against it.

"You have some really cool swords! By the way, my name is Mimoza. I'll be your advisor from now on. Now let's get---"

"We'd like to register a party of two!" Albana said.

Mimoza glared at her.

"You would, huh? Well, which name should I register it as?"

"Dashnori i Arbenit," Albana said.

"Huh? Well okay. Anyway, let me break down the system for you," Mimoza said, leaning on her desk and showing me her cleavage.

"You will each be given your adventurer cards with your ranks, names, and the party you are in. From now on you will come to me to get quests and guidance, and I will also be the one to update your cards and do other clerical tasks for your party. Now, what kind of quests would you like? Right now you are rank E and can only accept quests in that rank. As you complete more quests, you will be assigned points and have the option to rank up."

"Do you have any quests where you have to gather rare materials in hard to reach places?"

"Oh, yes we do!" Mimoza said.

She then gave me a piece of paper detailing the quest.

"This one is to collect rare Purple Flowers, which only grows on the mountains north-east right outside Prishtina. The pay is 500 euros, but I wouldn't actually recommend taking this quest since the amount of time and energy needed to reach the flowers isn't worth the 500 euros..."

"We'll take it," I said.

Mimoza looked confused, but Albana smiled.

"Oh, well, okay. Let me give you a quest to kill some goblins as well on the way to the mountains. Just make sure to bring back the goblin wrists and you will be paid 2 euros per wrist. Ehm, do you know how to identify Purple Flowers?" Mimoza asked me.

"Yes I do!" Albana said.

The two girls gave each other death looks, and Albana squeezed herself onto me tighter, which felt nice.

"Hmpf. Okay. Well here's is your adventurer cards," she said.

Mimoza then proceeded to walk up in front of her desk.

She threw Albana's card to her.

She then grabbed my hands and placed my card in it. Then she hugged my arms and squeezed her huge boobs into them. I could hear Albana in the background gasping.

"I am expecting great things from you," Mimoza said, looking up at me with puppy eyes and making sure to angle her cleavage. I then felt her sneak a note into my pants while she let go of me.

***

"What a bitch!" Albana said while we were headed to the mountains.

"Arben, you stay away from her! That kurve!"

While Albana was talking, I was replaying the encounter with Mimoza.

I really liked her huge boobs and lips. And her brown hair reminded me of Elvana. I especially liked it when she squeezed her boobs on me.

They felt so soft.

Whenever I am touching a woman's soft body, I always get so relaxed. It's like the sensations of femininity fill my brain up, and push out all the other stuff like worries and stress.

We encountered a group of goblins in front of us.

It appeared we caught them by surprise, because as soon as they saw us they were shocked and hurried into formation.

I loaded up a fireball to annihilate them.

"Wait stop!" Albana said. "We need the wrists or we won't get the rewards."

"Oh yeah, I forgot," I said and stopped the fireball.

I pulled out my dual longswords. I really hadn't used them much because my Imagination Magic is way more effective.

Albana fired small Earth Bullets from behind while I went in and fought the goblin with the swords.

The goblins themselves had small daggers and claws and clubs. But they were no match for me with dual swords.

Actually, the swords themselves were pretty high quality. I noticed now how easily they cut through the goblins.

After the battle ended I harvested their wrists. I only got one cut on my arm but that quickly healed itself. And none of the goblins touched Albana.

***

Eventually we got to the foot of the mountain.

Though to me, who was used to gigantic, impassable mountains, this small mountain was more like a really big rock. And surrounding it was flatlands. Whereas in Dukagjina the mountains were continuous and appeared to never end.

"Okay, remember the flowers are purple with small yellow spots on them," Albana said.

"Yeah yeah, I know. See you in a bit," I said.

I jumped into the air, and started flying horizontally.

I only had to fly vertically. This was pretty easy and more relaxed than flying horizontally with my body parallel to the ground. Though my face hurt from the wind resistance and I could only keep my eyes open briefly every few seconds to check how far up I was.

I would need to find some solution to the wind resistance problem.

I was up at the top pretty quickly, only 2 minutes flying time.

And I didn't get hurt at the landing, though I had to do a rolling fall because I didn't calibrate it enough.

On top of the mountain it was peaceful and cold. Besides the wind, there were no sounds.

After walking around for a few minutes, I found a big patch of Purple Flowers. My guess was that no contractors bothered going all the way up the mountain, but only halfway up, to retrieve the flowers, so I that was the reason there were so many here.

Now it was down the mountain.

I jumped off the edge in a vertical body stance, with my arms and legs straight, and I focused on slowing the speed of my fall with Wind Magic.

It was hard to control, but at least I got a lot of practise in calibrating the Wind Magic.

And on the way down I was going so slow I didn't need to worry about the air-resistance hitting my face.

I looked down and saw where Albana was, and started flying down towards her slowly. I stuck the landing pretty well, though my knees hurt a little bit.

"That looked really impressive," Albana said. "You seem to be getting even better at it. How long do you think you can fly for?"

"I'm not sure. Though I feel the more I do it, the better I get at it and the less mana and stamina it takes. Really, mana isn't the problem, stamina is. It's really hard calibrating my arms especially. I could teach you if you want?" I said.

"Oh no I can't sadly. I don't know how to do Imagination Magic, and there are no chants for flying..."

"Oh qyche? Why don't you just create a chant then?"

"Hah, no I can't, duh. Chants are ancient, probably passed down by the gods. You can't just create new ones, as far as I know."

Incantation Magic sounded pretty useless to me. Then I remembered something.

"Oh shit the time! I have to meet Butrint!"

***

I followed Albana back into the city and gave her the loot and told her to submit it to the guild and get the rewards.

I kissed her goodbye then I decided that I would fly to Butrint's office instead of walking. Flying was awfully convenient.

If I'd walked over to Butrint's office it would have taken at least 40 minutes, but flying only took 6 minutes, though there was still the problem of it hurting my face.

I landed in front of the office, again having to do a rolling fall even though I really tried sticking the landing.

Also, on the way there, I kept getting blown in different directions by the outside wind.

If I had been going faster and knew how to resist the wind then I probably would have made it to Butrint's in 2 minutes.

"I should experiment with higher speeds."

Upon landing, all of the people on the street looked at me. I guess a flying man was an unusual sight.

I entered the office and the first thing I heard was Butrint loudly saying,

"Fack! Fack! Fack! Dreqit hang! Dreqit hang!"

I went over to him.

"Hey shoki, a je mire?"

He turned around. Immediately his expression changed.

"Oh bir! I'm so glad to see you! You won't believe what this stupid kurve did!" he said, pointing to the receptionist. I now noticed he was holding a package.

"She forgot to mail this to a client in Gjilan and if this package doesn't get there by tonight I lose 1000 euros worth of clients!"

"Gjilan huh? That isn't so far bir," I said, and started thinking.

Butrint then looked at me with a curious expression.

"What do you mean, bir?"

"Tie the package to my back. I'll fly over there."

"Wait, no that's too f---," he interrupted himself, as if remembering something, he was probably thinking about that information card he saw.

"Are you sure?" he said, "you'd really be doing me a huge favour shoki."

"Hey, don't worry about it bir. But... promise me you will save the 1000 euros you make. Also, I just made 500 euros today, so that's only 3500 euros away from freeing you."

"Oh bir!" he said and leaped to hug me, "if I were a woman I'd make your babies right now I swear to god bir!"

"Yeah,yeah shoki, chill"

I tied the package to my back, then headed out the office.

"Oh prit pak, remember to come back tomorrow again, there's something I want to discuss with you but it can wait. Remember that the building you are looking for is in the southwest of the city of Gjilan, and is this big black building with a big sign outside that says 'Trepica Company'. It's impossible to miss," Butrint said.

I nodded and exited.

I was not exactly sure where Gjilan was, but I figured if I just headed south I'd eventually find it. It was still daytime so it should be visible from up in the air.

I jumped and flew up vertically. After I was up a good bit and I could see the entire city of Prishtina, I turned my body into a horizontal position, and flew south.

When I was up in the air flying with my body parallel to the ground, I had the problem of wind resistance hitting my face.

I had to solve it.

I decided to make some kind of barrier in front of my face.

First I made a kind of square wind barrier in front of me, but it just led to the wind hitting my body instead of my face.

Then I started experimenting with different types of wind barriers in front of me while I was flying.

Finally I came up with this kind of rounded, pointy wind barrier, which made all the wind resistance converge right below my feet, and actually propell me even farther ahead.

I could now see and breath normally, and I was going faster with less energy spent.

Also, while I was in the air experimenting with wind resistance, I got this idea to create some kind of wing structure out of wood resembling bird wings, and use them to fly longer distances.

But that would be an idea for another time, plus it would take a long time to create those wings and it would be a hassle and impractical to carry around, so I laid off the idea for now. Since I could already fly long distances with my big amount of mana. But maybe someone with less mana could use the wings to also fly long distances...

***

"I wonder how fast I can go?"

I was following the main road to Gjilan from above, but I felt I was going very slowly, and I needed to reach there before night time so I could make my way back without worrying about getting lost.

Also, Butrint said the package had to be delivered before night I think.

So I started adding more and more mana into the stream of wind under my feet.

The faster I went, the less control I had when it came to precise movements and turning.

And of course while I was speeding, a flock of birds appeared ahead.

My face crashed into them head on and I started spinning and lost all control.

I got very dizzy and almost passed out, but luckily this flying skill had started to become unconscious, so I was able to gain some control and slow down, but not before hitting the ground.

Upon impact, I heard and felt ribs and leg bones cracking, but I was able to roll around a little when hitting the ground to avoid major damage.

"Holy shit! Are you alright femije? Oh qyche!" an old farmer came up to me. I had landed on the main road and we were surrounded by fields.

In only a few seconds, my body healed itself unconsciously. During the self-regeneration, I felt a new sensation. I felt one of the rips were out of place, and that my muscles I had no control over worked together to put it back in place so the place it broke could be healed. I started to wonder what would happen if my head og half of my body got cut off. Would I still survive?

"Po po, I'm fine," I said. "Is this the direction to Gjilan?"

"Ehm, yes. But tell me, were you just flying?"

I stood up and got ready to take off. "Yeah," I said.

"But how? Wait! What's your name, young man?"

"I'm Arben Krasniqi," I said, and took off again.

***

I finally reached Gjilan.

From above, it looked big and similar to Prishtina, but Prishtina was about twice as big, and had bigger walls.

I slowed down and headed to the southwest of the city.

I lowered myself so I could get a clear view of the city, to the point where people were hollering at me.

"Oh zot! He's flying!" people were saying.

I should be careful about attracting attention-- Meh, doesn't matter, I'm strong and I have a fake pass. All this attention shouldn't come back later to bite me in the butt...

I saw the big black building and landed in front of it.

It was a pretty decent landing compared to my other landings.

I saw a big sign saying 'Trepica Company' and headed in.

"I've got a package from Butrint Meha," I said to the receptionist.

"Oh good, we thought it would never come," she said with a sneer.

She took it and stood up to pass it on.

"You can leave now," she said.

What a bitch.

I was now outside the entrance again.

"The note!" I said.

I had completely forgotten Mimoza put a note inside my pocket. I checked what it said.

Hey Arben,

meet me at my home tonight, I want to show you something ;)

Address: Prishtina, NorthEast, UCK Road House 4

I started jumping in excitement.

"I'm gonna shove my face in those huge boobies!" I said aloud.

"Hey you, meow!" Someone from behind me said.

Oh shit, I shouldn't have said that aloud. Wait, there's no consequences for saying it aloud. Anyway I need to hurry back to Mimoza.

"Meow, where did you get those swords?"

I turned around.

Two cute cat girls in school uniforms were headed towards me.

I wanted to stay and flirt with them, but I was busy.

"Sorry, gotta go, see you later," I said, and took off.

"He can fly, meow!"

"Come back here meow! Those are the sacred Forest Bla—"

I was up in the air now, headed towards Prishtina.

***

It was night by the time I finally found Mimoza's address.

I went up to her house and knocked on her door.

A Mimoza wearing sexy pyjamas opened.

"I was expecting you to come early," she said.

"I was busy," I said.

"I guess. It must be hard figuring out what to do with all that money..."

"It sure is," I said. I didn't really have a lot of money. Not sure what she meant by that.

"Can I use the bathroom?"

I just wanted an excuse to get into the house.

She smiled.

"Of course you can, hehe."

I was in the bathroom now.

I didn't have to pee, so I just made sure my hair looked good. Then I exited.

Mimoza was sitting on her bed.

I sat right next to her.

"You wanted to show me something, po?" I said.

"Po po, I actually wanted to tell you something: To help motivate you to complete quests and grow as an adventurer, I have a little reward system in place. A physical reward system. I thought I'd just give you a simple massage, but after today's results, I think you deserve a little more," she said, and started sliding the strings of her pyjamas from her shoulders.

What she revealed was boobs bigger than the mountains back in Dukagjina.

I put my right hand on her shoulder and got my face close to hers while making strong eye contact.

"Can I touch?" I said.

"Yes."

I lifted her up and put her on my lap with her back against me.

I started caressing her stomach and around her boobs.

Then I gently touched her boobs around her nibbles, teasing her.

She started moaning and I kept circling around her nibbles.

When I could feel they were erect, I started touching them directly.

I took my right hand and got ready to finger her.

"No zemra, no fucking only touching, I'm sorry," she said with a smile.

She was depriving me to make me want her more.

"Oh, it's fine. I have Albana. I'll finish off with her when I'm done here."

This comment made her pout.

"No, I'll finish you off!" she said.

She got down on her knees, pulled down my pants, and gave me an amazing blowjob.

***

I flew back home and entered my room at the inn.

When I opened the door, Albana was standing in front of me smiling, hiding something behind her back.

"Hey zemra, what's up? you have a smile on your beautiful face," I said.

"Remember that Purple Flower quest today?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Well, it turns out the 500 euros were only for 2-3 flowers, and we brought back 25 flowers, so..."

Albana then revealed what she was holding.

"Holy fucking shit!" I said, and picked her up in happiness.

She was holding bundles of euro bills.

"6000 euros!" she said and kissed me.

"I can free Butrint and start the company! I'm so happy."

I picked her up and started spinning her around. I kissed her and threw her on the bed.

"Wait, I wanna try something..." Albana said.

She took all the cash and spread it over the bed. We fucked like royalty that night.

While all this was going on, two cat girls were on a carriage from Gjilan to Prishtina, on their way to kill me.
