Joining the Adventurers Guild

Imagine for a moment that you are looking at a beautiful passage worthy of a fantasy story, where the grass is deep green in color with no imperfection that could be observed. Even small dewdrops could be appreciated if one paid attention to them, many beautiful flowers adorned the surroundings and at times it seemed that they were perfectly balanced with the surrounding grass. And even flowers with various colors could be seen everywhere. Both flowers and grass moved gently by the soft wind that blew in the place, the bright sun only made the colors more brilliant, even the blue sky that showed no sign of clouds made that landscape even more beautiful and perfect but all that natural beauty was still strongly overshadowed. But… What could overshadow such a magnificent panorama? The answer is obvious, something more perfect, beautiful, and impressive than the landscape itself.

Raiko's eyes were stupefied because even in that perfect place where he was being ignored, a woman was standing a few meters in front of him. The word "perfect" might not be enough to describe the woman's beauty, and to say that she would awaken the desires and passions of all men who looked at her was not enough.

Beauties that collapsed countries? They could not be compared, this was a beauty that could collapse an entire world, perhaps even the entire galaxy would go into chaos just to draw the attention of the woman wearing a completely black leather suit from her feet to her chest that seemed to be made of one piece just standing there. The skin of which it was made could be said to be of reptilian origin, but it was uncertain to know from which beast it came from. Revealing her long legs whose thighs were thick and only surpassed her pronounced hips. Her small waist only made her look like a fragile and soft flower, her bulging chest looked even a little tight for that suit, those huge peaks gave the impression that her black suit will tear at any moment which only made her look more mysterious and seductive. Her face seemed carved by the gods themselves, her light-colored skin was adorned by small freckles on her cheeks that gave her an air of tenderness while her thin pink lips made her look elegant, finally, her colored eyes had an extremely striking color tone that looked like a light gray combined with a lime green which stood out even more due to her thin and sharp eyebrows and her long hair showed a reddish and orange color, the color of the sunset.

The woman's hands were on her back, it is unknown how long they both stood there watching each other. For Raiko, it had been an eternity, but even that time was not enough to appreciate such a spectacle. A moment passed by, and the immobile beautiful woman moved, placing her hands on one of her reddish locks of hair that was on her face which she placed on the back of her ear so that it would not block her view and with a soft and gentle voice, she said, "Mr. Raiko if you keep looking at me like that, I won't be able to avoid blushing".

The woman said with a small smile forming on her pink lips, which together with those words made Raiko's heart race rapidly.

-Badum- -Badum- -Badum- -Badum- -

Even Raiko could feel his heart about to burst out of his chest, plus his ears felt as if they were burning, "Emmm…. And… I… I… N… No… I mean… No…". Raiko simply could not find words, he felt as if his tongue was tangled.

"Did the mouse eat your tongue?" The woman questioned with an innocent giggle, charming Raiko more, but also causing him to go back to reality for a moment in that fantasy world he was in.

"You can't blame me miss for a moment I thought I had died when I saw you, I didn't think angels were living among us. My heart was almost bursting out of my chest".

"You are very flattering Mr. Raiko I thank you, but I am quite ugly if you compare me to my sisters, my name is Rose, and my family helps the adventurer's guild for the registration of new people plus the assignment of missions and evaluation of ranks. You can say we have a pretty close relationship". She paused and continued.

"At this moment you were transported to site number #7373-E which is a registration site, the only thing that will happen here is that we will sign a contract which consists of that the Adventurers Guild committing to accept you as one of our members and with all the benefits that imply. That is access to our trading rooms, discounts in different cities, and protection if needed. Obviously, all this is not free because in exchange you must give us your power, Mr. Raiko."

A bit surprised by those words, Raiko gave one question, "What do you mean by lending you, my power?"

This could be interpreted in many ways, and so he did not rush into it.

"Don't misunderstand me, Mr. Raiko, the Adventurer's Guild has no bad intentions. By saying that, I meant that in exchange for all the benefits we will be giving you. You have to fulfill a minimum quota of missions, which in case you don't fulfill, then your guild membership will be withdrawn."

Raiko nodded at the woman's explanation because it was a relationship where both parties are benefited.

"Besides that, each mission has certain difficulty and you as Epsilon rank for individual missions only have permission to request missions of the same rank. As for groups of more than 5 people you can do Delta rank missions, the rewards are obviously according to the difficulty of the mission. As you may understand, it is not the same as acting as a bodyguard of some important figure to a direct mission of assassination or conquest. Although all those missions have the same range of difficulty and danger, in reality, some of them can be more problematic than the others, so the rewards are higher. As your rank merits, you only have to complete 10 missions of your rank per year or 2 missions of a higher rank in the same period. Many adventurers get together in large groups and perform missions of a higher rank, but it is up to you if you decide to join a group or prefer to challenge the missions individually. In the same way, our Adventurers Guild offers a special service for those lonely people who want to perform a group mission in which we will take care of putting together the team that best meets the requirements for a certain mission, in case you get a request for a specific mission, I recommend you to consider it widely since it is a mission that may fit perfectly to your skills, and also you will have extra rewards."

"I understand, Miss Rose, thank you very much for the explanation."

"You can just call me Rose, I'm not old enough for you to call me Miss. We are probably the same age… Anyway, finally I must say that each mission offers different rewards, most of them are rewards in Denarii, but some others are objects or even beasts of some kind. So, if you need it then you can look for some mission that has what you are looking for as a reward or else trade it directly in the trade zone, although you must know that for certain kinds of objects it is more difficult to trade them than to do the corresponding mission. Keep in mind that many missions are in special places, so you can have other benefits besides the reward".

"Rose… You can call me Raiko since we are both young, we don't need too much etiquette between us".

With a big smile on his face, Raiko acted warmly to this seductive woman. Since, if any person treated him kindly, then he would respond kindlier. That's how direct his personality was.

Rose was a bit confused. Since practically all the men she knew had always tried to flatter her all the time and try every way to win her over or gain her favor, either by her looks or her status in the guild but the guy in front of her seemed a bit indifferent as if after his initial impression he just took her as another woman. Something that from her perspective seemed a bit confusing.

"Raiko if you are okay with all that please place your rank symbol in my hand."

In response to that Raiko nonchalantly pulled out his symbol and as requested placed it in her hands at which the symbol blinked rapidly and after a few seconds, Rose spoke again.

"You are now an official member of the Adventurer's Guild; I will be your direct contact at least at this time if you have any questions regarding any aspect of your membership you can tell me."

After those words, Rose took out her communication stone, gesturing Raiko to take out his while giving back his rank symbol. Raiko immediately understood her gesture and took out a black marble. He put it in direct contact with Rose's communication stone and with a "Click" sound, they could now communicate with each other whenever needed.

"Raiko if you don't mind, I have a request to make to you, I know you just joined but I need your help for an Epsilon Rank mission, Mr. Sasuachin Extrihes Von Riitemberg Calim Usher Usher Maximial The Fourth gave us very good references of your ability and we think you are just what we need. The mission is very dangerous and to be honest with you, more than 300 people have died without being able to complete it. Normally it would be a mission of a higher rank but due to certain circumstances, it should be kept as a mission for adventurers of Epsilon rank? Are you interested? "
