*Isaac Leaves*

 He was also wondering what kind of training regimen was suitable for the 3 s-rank, all of them had already fought a demon lord before so it was just easy for them to train, then some ping could be heard

*ping*

 While he was walking away to the guild he looked at the ping and saw the permission to go inside the portal, he checked first who wanted to go," I see it's Leonidas and Henry" Then he accepted then the portal able to glow blue, and Leonidas and henry make a journey, he was thinking about the character improvement of those 3, is it better to let them witness inside of the portal first? let's make it 1 week's tour shall we? 

*contacting the receptionist*

 "Make them witness, how strong the monsters inside of the portal" Then the receptionist was just about to register them and said," This is suicide my lord" Then he said to the receptionist," Do you think, they will take us seriously if they don't taste it first hand?" Then the receptionist said," Understood my Lord, " Then Isaac headed to the tree, to laze down. 

Before Isaac about to contact them

 "Hello, I'm the receptionist that will handle you all, I'm the overseer for the world of EVO, this portal leads to that world, and our Guildmaster can control the portal at ease so don't be alarmed" The three of them able to calm down, then meril said to the receptionist," You're talking about the Hound profession, what is that?"

 Then she explained," Unlike the outside adventurer guild that is only based on ranks, us is based on the world that you explore., Here kindly look at this item," They looked at the item that the receptionist pointing at, and then she explained," This is the Tattoo identifier, this is similar to the adventurer card that you had, but instead we use tattoo that engraved to your soul, with this you can be easy identified and location for a beacon" 

*worried Lion*

 Lion asked the receptionist," What do you mean? Easily identified? And also what kind of beacon are you talking about?" Then the receptionist said to them," Look at the world map that floating at the center, and hold this map also" 

 Lion held the map and looking at the flying world map, the receptionist said to them," This is the beacon I was talking about" Then the receptionist tested the tattoo identifier, and some sort of serpentine snake suddenly crawled around her arm and bit his tail, then she touches the map and it suddenly glows, also the world map, They see some kind of dot, inside of the map, it was a glowing dot, then lion look at the flying world map he sees a large dot, that pointing at the fog of death, 

 she said to them," That's is the power of the map that are you holding, right now you can see the only this building inside of the map, then you can see the on the world map something like a beacon of light, for now, it was only this planet Gila because I was located in this world and fully mapped but the world you will go to is not been mapped, that why we have also another profession for that." Then meril said to her, "is this some sort of monitoring purposes? What will happen to our privacy?" Then she said to her," Do you think privacy is important if you're inside of the portal?"

 Then the lion asks," How about the hound profession? I already knew it but I wanted to have a clear understanding of it" Then she just let a sigh and said," The Hound Profession is classified as the Hunter/Executioner, It was the one that does the job of special subjugation, he will not going to bother for the small fry, only the target" Then lion asked, "Are we some sort of an assassins?" 

 Then she said," Do you have time to handle small fry? Then I'm relieved because inside of EVO you have only limited time to come back home, or else you will die because of the soul deterioration" While janor couldn't understand everything he was just looking at them. 

*Meril Ask*

 "Soul Deteriorate?" Then she said to meril," We're only outsiders and our souls are not suitable for that planet, you only have a whole 1 week if you're strong enough, but if you don't you only have an hour, the symptoms are nasty"

 Then meril is strangely enough wanted to know what is these kinds of symptoms, she said to her," Delusion, Paralyzed, Breathing Problems, Burst organs, etc." When the lion can hear it, it shivers down his spine, she says to them," That's why Lord Isaac is worried for all of you, he was benevolent enough for all of you to have training because this time you will fight not only the monsters but time" 

*Janor raises a hand*

 "I know I'm dumb, but what the hell is that ball?" Then the receptionist said to him," That's the Appraisal Stone, it can appraise any item, even if it was forbidden, or not from this world," Then meril wanted to test it out, she had an item that couldn't be appraised when she was located in the ruins, it was some sort of stone tablet when she pulls it out to her inventory,

 the receptionist said to them," Try to hold the item then hold the ball" When she held the item and held the ball at the same time, the item glowed and it appeared to her some sort of floating letters of knowledge gone through her brain, 

*a few minutes later*

 She said to the receptionist," What the hell is that? Those letters floating around and been inserted to my eyes and gone through to my brain," Then the receptionist said to her, "That's the Mind Appraising, basically for it not to get leaked to the others, this item function for only the holder will know what kind of item it is, I think that item is a relic am I right?" 

 Then meril said to her," H-How do you know?" Then she said," I'm the Receptionist of this Guild, and that appraisal stone is connected to us," Lion asked," What is that tablet anyway?" Then meril just said to her," I am also puzzled about what the hell is this, but this is the relic of Sponte, The Legendary Moon Elves that worship the Goddes of the Moon Leit the daughter of Goddess Tesa, but she been killed by the God of the Sun, that why the Sun has a split in half, This is an old Bible of those people" Lion understand that this item is indeed a relic then when she about to explain the others, Isaac calls her and explain.

*present*

 "This is Suicide, my Lord!, Understood My lord, As you can see I have received the orders for lord Isaac, you will have a taste of what will be inside the portal," all three of them let out a big gulp, and She said to them," Alright, try to register for now, so that you will have a beacon if you're already dead or not, we can at least collect your corpses inside of the portal," Then the three of them begin to register, even the receptionist is being blunt and rude, they just register.

They see some sort of panel and able to tell their class and level, they're already level 100 VE, meril asks about the VE and what it means, and the receptionist says to her," VE stands for Very Easy, this word is been under of Very Easy difficulty, Gila is the starting point and Noches as The highest, Right now you're already as level 100 VE, it will be converted as E, in three, two, one" 

Ping*

They feel nothing at first then suddenly, they are at their knees that something like their mana pool and their limits have been expanding so quickly, the lion says to her," What's happening to us?" Then she said to them," Your body is evolving and being structured as Easy Difficulty Body before your body already reached its limits as a Very easy body, but now your body is evolving, it has three phases you know" 

*Bone snaps*

"Argh!!" Scream of those three, she said to them," The First phase is limit and Mana pool Expansion you will feel so weak and can't even move at this phase, The second phase is Bone and muscle re-structuring, that thing that you feel right now, all of your bone is breaking and your muscles are tearing" 

*Muscle Tears*

"Argh!!" They're in agony and moving around the floor, janor is able to hold to the pillar of the building and squeeze it so tightly, the lion is moving around the floor, and meril is in the fetal position, she says to them," It is going to last about 30 minutes" 

*30 minutes later*

"ah - ah" All of them are exhausted and catching their breath, then the receptionist hands them some sort of bucket, and immediately they vomit so much blood into the bucket and they're confused about this, and they cry in blood and the agony get's intense, she said to them," The Last phase is organ re-structuring the most painful and gruesome phase, it will last about 25 minutes so make sure you survive" 

*"Argh!!!!"All of them*

*25 minutes later*

 All of them are physically and mentally exhausted, they have so much blood in their body, and they're pale until Gorgo make them drink some sort of potion, and they immediately recover, meril is shocked to see that all of the fatigue and pain, gone in a mere of seconds. she said to gorgo," What is that? Is that even a potion? Is that the elixir that I heard of?"

 The receptionist said to them, "Now look at the status panel and what did you see?" They stand up and open their panels, and they see that their level has reverted to level 1, but right now it is level 1 E, and all of their statuses have +5% on their original status. Meril able to see that she could get stronger, the receptionist said to them, "Alright stand at the portal" The three of them stood up

she said to them, "Don't worry I'll be handling this item for you" She handled them some limited use of the tent, explorer bag, can of goods, and some water bottles for the trip, she also handled the map and compass to them, and she said to them," Use it wisely, this explorer bag contains all of the supply for the 1 whole trip so enjoy" Lion and janor wanted to ask, but it's already too late.

The receptionist pushes all of them inside the portal without being registered and they can't be located, due to the rushing going inside the portal, they have been transferred separately around the world, 

Then the receptionist stopped for a moment and she said to herself," Oh! I forgot the time difference to this world, 1 week from here, is one year to that world, well silly me" and just walked towards the operator blocks again.

*in the East*

In the Mushroom Forest, where the lion is been located he is dizzy for a moment but, he easily able to get up some sort of a huge mound suddenly stands, which makes him stumbled to the ground, at first he can't recognize its appearance but later on, he able to appraise it using the appraisal skills that he had it The Boar of Lunacy due to the soul expansion, he can appraise the rank of the beast, it was a D - Rank.

*In the West* 

 When Janor is being rolling around, he finds himself he was some sort of desert, The Black Desert with the black moon, when he about to stand up, some pack of some sort of wolf shows up but they're different their bodies are pure darkness and emitting some smokes, while they're mouth is bleeding with blood, He also use appraisal and to his surprise it was an D - Rank The Shadow Hounds, he just smiles and attack the wolves in full force.

*in the North*

 Meril is able to land safely when she falls at the three, she finds herself in the jungle but the sky is different, it is supposed to be sky full of air, but the water or some sort of ocean is floating above, The color of the water is green, and the greeneries are all withered and only the red like flowers can be seen, when she was investigating the flowers, some sort of an Eye pops out of nowhere, she stumbled and in conclusion," This is not an island but i landed to a huge monster" when she use her own appraisal, she able to identify the beast and it was an A Rank Flying Serpent Island" 

While the Receptionist is finishing her chores at the guild she says to them," Do they have a resolve to live? Who knows?"
