Achievement Announcement

Walking out of the church with a bag of money in hand, Raka was impressed by the pastor's generosity.

"No wonder the Cult of Eris is the national religion in the Kingdom of Belzerg. It's truly a good religion."

His initial intention was to borrow a thousand eris as capital for adventurer registration fees.

Without hesitation, he lied to gain sympathy from others. With a story about traveling from his village to the capital to change his fate, but along the way, all his belongings and money were robbed by bandits, leaving him with nothing.

The pastor who heard his tragic experience was deeply moved. Instead of giving a loan, he gave ten thousand eris as charity.

"Deceiving good people makes my conscience feel guilty... But it's all for survival. After I succeed, I will repay this money."

Putting aside his guilt, Raka asked for directions to the Adventurer's Guild.

After asking a random passerby, he hurried there.

As he walked, Raka continued to look around. For someone who had never left the city due to frugality, he thoroughly enjoyed the new atmosphere of the capital of the Kingdom of Belzerg.

{Ding! First Achievement Announcement}

{Congratulations to Aggressor 01 for becoming the first adventurer}

"Hm?"

Raka's footsteps halted as a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his mind when the interface displaying [Ranking] appeared on its own.

...

"So fast? It hasn't even been two hours since it started, and someone's already on the [Ranking] list!"

Seeing the [Ranking], which was previously empty, now filled with one entry, Raka admired the efficiency of others.

"So, when an Aggressor achieves the first accomplishment in something, will it be announced to all other Aggressors? It seems like Paradise wants to make the competition among Aggressors more intense."

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with me. As long as I can complete all the Quests and survive, that's enough."

Shaking his head, Raka closed the interfering interface and continued walking.

He was aware of his limitations; he never once thought he could make it into the top 10 in the [Ranking].

No matter how hard he worked, his results wouldn't be able to surpass the talent of a genius.

"Eva, huh... That's a woman's name. She must be one of the geniuses." Raka muttered without a hint of envy.

Ordinary people should compare themselves with their own kind; otherwise, it would only make them feel worthless.

"I should be here."

Standing in front of a large building, Raka observed the people entering and leaving the door, each looking far from ordinary.

Most of them were clad in armor, wielding weapons like swords, daggers, spears, axes, bows, and other weapons. Some wore Wizard robes and hats and carried magic staffs.

There was no doubt they were high-level adventurers!

"They all look very strong! Compared to adventurers in Axel City, the adventurers here are much better in terms of quality and quantity."

Since Raka was just standing in front of the Adventurer's Guild, the adventurers who came and went only glanced at him briefly without giving him a second look.

From his attire and demeanor, in their eyes, he was a rural bumpkin seeing the world for the first time.

The Adventurer's Guild was an organization that ran the business of adventurers. The guild's tasks included offering missions, handling requests from civilian residents to be placed as missions.

After an adventurer completed a mission, the Adventurer's Guild would provide a sum of money. The Adventurer's Guild also had the authority to refuse an adventurer to attempt a mission if the adventurer was deemed unfit to complete it.

Although being an adventurer was a high-risk job, there were always young people who registered to become adventurers, especially young people from villages who dreamed of achieving success and glory.

"Ahem... I look stupid."

Realizing his foolish behavior, Raka's dignity as an adult disappeared.

He couldn't blame himself. Compared to ordinary life, he always looked forward to a life full of excitement and never boring.

"Ah, welcome~ please go to the counter if you're looking for work. If you want to eat, please sit in an empty chair."

Upon entering, Raka was greeted by a beautiful attendant with gray hair tied in a ponytail, who returned with food after greeting.

(Wow, their aura is very intimidating.)

Suppressing the urge to turn around and leave, Raka suppressed his cowardice and walked to the counter.

There were ten counter staff, eight of them were female.

Raka headed to the empty counter.

"Good day, how can I help you?"

The counter staff was very beautiful.

With golden yellow eyes and light brown hair in a braid, she was the perfect depiction of a Sylph Wind Spirit.

"Excuse me, I want to become an adventurer. I come from a village and I'm still a beginner."

"Alright. There will be a registration fee, is that okay?"

"How much is the fee?"

"Not expensive, just 1000 eris."

"Here's the money."

Since it wasn't his hard-earned money, Raka handed over a thousand eris without hesitation.

After receiving the payment, the girl began working according to procedure, which was to provide basic information to prospective adventurers.

"Alright, because you said you want to become an adventurer, you must understand a few things first, but I will explain from the beginning... First, you have to kill some monsters that roam outside the capital... But monsters are very rare here because the attacks of the Devil King's Army have caused monsters around the capital to migrate elsewhere. Actually, the capital is not suitable for novice adventurers."

Pausing for a moment, the girl looked at the other party nodding in understanding, she continued her explanation.

"People who eliminate dangerous creatures that may harm residents. They also boost job demand, taking side jobs that require their talents... People who live by working like this are grouped as adventurers. And among adventurers, there are also other Job."

"Could you explain what Job are, miss?" Raka asked politely.

"..."

The girl gave him a strange look but didn't inquire further.

"Of course. Class is a Job with specific statistical requirements and certain skill sets. By leveling up, it's possible to switch to more advanced Job. Because there are many types of Job, I won't explain them all as it would take up a lot of time. Once your Job is identified, I'll explain your Job only, is that okay?"

"It's perfectly fine, sorry for troubling you."

"It's my duty, no need to thank me."

Then the girl handed Raka a card.

It was the size of a driver's license card and looked like an identity card.

"Look here, do you see the level written? Everyone in this world has a soul. No matter where it comes from, if you eat or kill it, you will absorb memories from that soul. This is commonly called Experience Points. Experience Points are usually something intangible, but..."

The girl pointed to a part of the card and continued:

"With this card, the Experience Points of adventurers will be displayed on this card. At the same time, the level of your Experience Points will be shown. This indicates how strong the adventurer is and how many enemies you have killed will be recorded here. With the accumulation of Experience Points, all creatures will quickly become strong according to their points. This is called leveling... Simply put, leveling will give you a kind of Job, points to learn new skills. So, strive to level up."

After listening to the explanation, even though Raka already knew all this, he couldn't help but be amazed.

(This power system is like a game. One can become strong just by killing monsters and collecting EXP... It's very easy to increase one's power!)

"First, please fill in your height, weight, age, and other details in the empty spaces." The girl's voice snapped Raka out of his contemplation.

"Ah, yes."

Seeing the strange letters on the form that he had never seen before, strangely, Raka could read them as if it were his mother tongue.

Then, he filled out the form honestly.

Height 172 cm, 70 kg, and 26 years old.
