"hmm"
In front of the task board inside the Adventurers' Guild was a boy standing
The boy is very cute with black hair with some purple and looks to be about eight or nine years old
But now that cute face got tangled up as his violet eyes stared at the task board
[Iron Level Mission: Find a Runaway Cat, Reward: 10 Copper Coins]
[Iron Level Quest: Bring 5 Ice Slime Essences, Reward: 60 Copper Coins]
[Bronze Level Mission: Spying on the Goblin Tribe for Two Days, Reward: 800 Copper Coins]
The boy looked at these quests with a slightly helpless expression, but unfortunately with his current level he could only access Iron and Bronze level quests.
"It's fine anyway, since now I have two years." The boy's expression quickly calmed down and started to think a bit, "I need to obtain the equivalent of seventy thousand bronze coins in two years, or I will reach a gold-level adventurer and be accepted as a genius for free…. But after all, when I reach the Gold level, I won't have a problem with a mere seventy thousand copper coins~"
The boy held his forehead speechless and looked very cute, "Let's take it easy, as for the Bronze-level quest, I don't know why, but I have a bit of a bad feeling about it, so let's start with that icy slime quest."
Suddenly an employee from the guild entered and hung up a new task. At first the boy didn't care but he took a look anyway
[Bronze Level Mission: Training Young Noble, Reward: 2000 Copper Coins]
The boy looked at the task and then quickly lost interest, Little Noble? Just kidding, I currently don't have the ability to resist even a Baron, so I'd better stay out of sight of all the nobles for the time being, although the other adventurers are also a huge danger, but unfortunately I can't get away from them now.
The boy grabbed his forehead. "From what I've seen so far, most nobles don't take commoners for human unless they are strong warriors. Strong warriors also don't take other commoners seriously. Tsuk. This is very tiring. Once I have the power to rule over them, maybe I'll exterminate them all." The boy grabbed his chin for a bit and then quickly shook his head to drive away these thoughts. Who knows, maybe there is an Awakener nearby who can read thoughts.
"Anyway..." The boy took the assignment and went to the receptionist
------------------
"Excuse me, I want to take this assignment."
"Hmm?" The receptionist raised his head doubtfully, but didn't see anyone. "Excuse me?"
"Down here." The boy's voice came without fluctuations, perhaps with some helplessness in his voice
"Cough, sorry, it's rare for a young adventurer like you to appear here." The man quickly calmed down and said with a smile
The boy didn't care much
When the man saw the boy's indifference, he smiled and felt that he was a bit sweet. "Anyway, give me your card."
"hmm"
The man looked at the card
[Name: Horus
Age: eight years
Adventurer level: Bronze
Quests completed: three tasks of the wooden level, two tasks of the bronze level
Abilities: Unknown
awake: unknown]
"Oh, it's interesting to be a Bronze Adventurer at this age. You must have had a hard life up until now."
"I don't think this is your specialty," Horus smiled and said very politely
"Cough cough, sorry, that's it."
"Never mind… I, too, am sorry for this reaction. Anyway, can you finish this quest?"
"It's okay, I understand. ehem. Yes. I'll seal it right away."
-------------
After half an hour of searching, Horus finally found three icy slimes
"Here we are." Horus took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed a little, and he raised his right hand back in a throwing position, then with all his might he threw very small, pointed stones at the three slimes with his might.
The small, sharp stones flew at great speed towards one of the slimes, and then with great precision, they pierced the flexible body of the slime due to their sharpness, and then hit the hard core of the slime and pushed it out of the slime's body.
The remaining two slimes panicked and quickly searched for the attacker but unfortunately they didn't have a chance as two more rocks soon came to hit them in the same way.
Horus smiled slightly, then moved towards the core of the three fallen slimes and put them in a small bag and started looking for the remaining two slimes.
After about half an hour, it was noon, when the sun was at its strongest, and at this time the ice slimes began to hide from the sun, which made it difficult to find them.
However, this has nothing to do with our Horus as he was already finished and returned to the guild
Excuse me, I want to hand over this assignment.
"Oh, what a sweet little adventurer!" A young girl's voice came from behind the staff desk, which meant that the shifts had changed.
"Well…" Horus was a bit helpless, this girl is hard to deal with… very tired
"Will you take the job, my time is precious?"
"Hmph, Horus you are so mean, not worth your time at all."
"Yes." Horus was apparently unsurprisingly honest to the girl
"Tsk, I don't care about you because you are a child now and you don't understand the value of this lady." The girl put her hand on her cheek and smiled slightly at Horus.
"Yes, I don't understand. In fact, I wonder when I see some adventurers talking to you so much despite your indifference." Agios' expression was a bit strange.
"Heh, yeah, my sister here doesn't care about those people with impure thoughts, I prefer pure people like Horus-chan~~"
"Oh, I also prefer pure people," Horus took two steps back and said to the girl with some sarcasm
"You see, it seems that we have something in common," said the girl, completely ignoring the meaning of Horus
Horus rubbed his chin slightly in an expression of impatience
"Okay, okay, my sister, don't care about you. Give me the assignment sheet."
Five minutes later, the girl was already finished, and Horus got sixty copper coins and returned to the task room in search of another suitable task, but at this time the receptionist's voice suddenly came.
"Hey, are you going so fast, hmph, if you keep ignoring my brother like this, my sister will ignore you too, and when you grow up, you will regret it."
Horus suddenly stopped and said without turning around, "I don't regret it." Then he went to the task room
"Tsk Horus-chan becomes so cute when he acts like an adult like that, but.... what's the price for it?" The girl shook her head and moved her pink hair quickly.
"Anyway, Horus-chan is Horus-chan because of what he's been through. The rest doesn't matter."
---------------
"Is this what it's called Shota-kun, well I should put Karin on my dangerous list" Horus thought then turned his attention back to the painting in front of him
As all previous tasks disappeared and new ones appeared
Horus shook his head when he thought of that task of observing the goblins. "Some people just don't understand how dirty the human heart really is."
"Anyway~" Horus looked at the tasks in front of him and picked one up without much thought
[Bronze Level Mission: Guarding a Hundred Head of Cattle on the Road between this city and Blue Moon City, Reward: 3000 Copper Coins]
Currently, Horus has 2370 bronze coins
And this task is not very difficult, especially since his strength has grown a lot during this period, and he needs an advanced Bronze task like this to reach the level of a silver adventurer, and its reward is very rewarding, if he continues in this way, it is not difficult even to enter the Nine Suns Academy, which needs 200,000 A copper coin to enter..... Of course, if he can pass the exams
Horus expelled these thoughts from his mind and started thinking about something else
His grandfather's last words were to go to the great desert of death when he finds that he can reach without death and pick up the key of life and throw it with all his might on the ground....
The Great Desert of Death was located two cities' walk away from Blue Moon City
Human Eastern Kingdom
It is one of only two of the human kingdoms [Eastern and Western]
Do not look at the small number of kingdoms, as the existence of two kingdoms was due to the many sacrifices of ancient humans
In this world, races reign like sacred beasts and spirits
While they are followed by elves, demons, yokai, and mermaids
Finally, there are humans, dwarves, and ogres
As you know, humans and dwarves are on the same level in innate strength, however
The dwarves have one kingdom, and they are not its real masters, but the other races helped them because of their skills in making weapons.
As for the ghouls, they are only physically strong, and as you can see, they do not have any habitat, but they live in swamps all over the continent.
I think this is enough to understand how difficult it is for humans to build two kingdoms, both as strength and as diplomacy and ways to deal with races that they can easily destroy humanity.
Of course, here the real human power is revealed, which is intelligence. Humans are the smartest beings on the continent
Humans invented a way to become stronger: cultivating the essence of another creature or the essence of any law
As for this essence of creatures, most creatures such as monsters or yokai and even sacred beasts have essence in their bodies, and if you can obtain and cultivate it, you will gain great talent and power.
As for the substance of the element, there are three types:
There is the pearl formed by the Cosmic Oyster, which forms after the Cosmic Oyster has absorbed enough energy and been exposed to any law for a long enough period of time.
There is also a lotus that sprouts from the root of the law
Finally there are the fruits that sprout from some unique trees
Other than that, there is another existence among humans, a very special existence, and it is called the awakened ones...
The Awakened are extremely gifted people with different innate abilities depending on the type of Awakened. There are people who awaken a bloodline from ancient times or even a new bloodline, there are those who awaken special fat physiques, there are those who awaken in accordance with a certain law, and there are summoners...and it splits. The Awakened are in levels too but Horus hasn't read this part yet, after all he's only eight years old and he barely has time to read because he's been busy since his grandfather's death
By the way, for humans they still have a strange peculiarity and a great opportunity
Great achievement!
When humans transcend their level and encounter transcendent creatures that are stronger than themselves, depending on the degree and difficulty of achievement, they will have a gift from root itself.
As for more details than this, this is not written down and unknown in relation to the current Horus
This is all the knowledge Horus has read in his family's library so far, after all, when his grandfather died, everything was plundered except for the hidden library.
Unfortunately, Horus has not yet found any description of the levels of strength, all he knows now is that there are levels of adventurers from wood to diamond, and they are
[Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Black Gold, Steel, Mithril, Diamond]
Of course, Horus doesn't stupidly think that powerful beasts and sacred beasts are at the Diamond level, after all, he's seen at least two adventurers at the Black Gold level so far, and with humans' weaknesses in mind, it's impossible for Supreme Beasts to be at the Diamond level. Diamond or this would be very strange
As you know, Horus lives in just a village far away from the capital, and he can see adventurers at the Black Gold level, so it's not hard to imagine the number of high-ranking adventurers among humans.
"Anyway, it's not like I can resist someone at the Black Gold level. It makes no difference to me being attacked by a sacred beast or being targeted by a powerful adventurer. Either way, I have no hope."
Horus shook his head slightly as he had already finished packing his things for the trip, including the key to life
He had already decided to go see the inheritance in his grandfather's mouth after this trip

First I would like to say Eid Mubarak to all the Muslim Ummah around the world
Secondly, as you can see, this is my new book, and I intend to put some effort into it and not rush through the events. The pace of the events will not be slow, but it will not be full of abbreviations like my previous books.
I try to be as innovative as possible but you will probably find some fingerprints from a lot of works, after all a person is influenced by the things they like and I have admired many novels and anime and ok let's leave those things for now
Anyway, apart from anything, I will do my best to make this book enjoyable
By the way, the book is influenced by mythology, and you will find it somewhat similar at this point to "High School DxD", and for the yokai, it is more like that of the anime "Inuyasha".
