The place itself isn't far from the central plaza… so it just took us a few minutes to get there.
Though Erina explained to me that it was an entirely different district from the one we were from because it was mainly focused on the adventurer side of things. Meaning that a district that is exclusive for adventurers.
But of course that doesn't mean it's only for adventures, as people from other factions could still enter the district. It's just the stuff that can be bought here is mostly for adventurers.
Because on my way to the Adventurer Main Guild, I could see that there were a lot of blacksmiths around the area. And there are a lot of weapons and armor here… it amazed me how they were able to craft such things as most of them look amazing.
Of course not forget the most important thing for adventurers as it would help their life out there. Potions shop!
There were not as many as the blacksmith here but I could still see there were a few shops selling potions.

When we finally arrived in front of the Adventurer Main Guild, I was utterly in awe to see such a building exists… It was humongous!
Though Erina did tell me that the Adventurer Main Guild was very big in scale. But she didn't explain to me that the main guild itself was this big.
Standing side by side with the Adventurer Main Guild looked amazing… looking at the exterior the color of the walls was mostly white. The door was made of a mix of steel and wood, meaning the door itself looks durable enough to not let anything enter easily.
On the top of the Adventurer Main Guild a prestigious title was placed… saying out Adventure Main Guild loudly.
Erina starts walking towards the entrance as I just stood there staring at the Adventurer Main Guild— wait a minute!
My focus suddenly went to Erina… she starts walking towards the Adventurer Main Guild entrance!?
I quickly run toward Erina grabbing her wrist and preventing her from getting inside the Adventurer Main Guild — huh?
Erina turns her face towards me… confusion can be seen on her face wondering why I stop her from entering the Adventurer Main Guild. "What are you doing!?"
She looks at my hand holding her wrist… I quickly release my hand realizing how awkward I look right now.
Erina rubs where my hand holds her… did I hurt her!?
"Are you okay!?"
Erina's stare intensifies at me — argh!
I quickly bowed towards Erina apologizing for my actions "I'm sorry for stopping you and for hurting you... It just I wanted to look around outside the guild, as it's my first time seeing the Adventurer Main Guild"
Erina's face softens… I raise my head looking at her — thank god she isn't mad at me.
Erina sighs "Well if you wanted to look around the Adventurer District for a bit then it's fine. But since we are already here, let's just start our tour from the Adventurer Main Guild onwards"
Erina extends her hand signaling me to grab her… confused I look at Erina "Hold my hand so we don't get separated"
I feel like I am being treated as a little kid right now… embarrassed I grab Erina's hand following her inside the Adventurer Main Guild — wait a minute again!
I quickly let go of Erina's hand "Why do I have to hold your hand?"
Erina looks at me annoyed "Because we don't want to get separated… Do you know how big the Adventurer Main Guild interior layout is"
That's true but why do I have to grab her hand "I mean why? I wouldn't get lost that easily as I am already an adult."
Erina gives me that pouty look… following stomping her right foot.
"Just grab my hand!" Erina extends her hand signaling me yet once again… ugh!
Resigning I grab Erina's hand following behind even if it is so embarrassing!
Erina, satisfied, starts walking inside the Adventurer Main Guild as I follow her… hopefully, nobody sees us holding hands.
As soon as we entered the Adventurer Main Guild, I felt stunned to see such a humongous lobby exists… It's definitely huge.
Erina, noticing my shock, starts explaining to me "The Adventurer Main Guild lobby itself is used for registering new adventurers, buying items, and showing achievements. Basically, the Adventurer Main Guild already provides almost anything"
My focus goes towards Erina… her expression seems to be proud of the Adventurer Main Guild's achievements "Then what other functions does the Adventurer Main Guild provide?"
Erina points towards the receptionist… there are a lot of them "The Adventure Main Guild also functions as a hotel for adventurers. Though renting rooms isn't for free as adventurers have to pay"
I look around the Adventurer Main Guild lobby… my focus goes towards the upper part — huh?
There are a lot of floors here "How many floors does the Adventurer Main Guild own?"
Erina counted using her finger, she stops… she looks at me "Around 15 floors I think"
What the hell! How can they make a building this big!?
"It's all thanks to the Builder Faction! Hard to believe that one person is able to do all of this… but it is the truth. That's how incredible this first hero is as he's the only person in this city that has achieved maxed-out construction skill." Erina said that.
I can understand now… I mean this is the skill of the first hero. To do it all alone is amazing really.
"I see but why need this many floors?" I ask that question to Erina.
Erina then answers my question, "Each floor function serves different purposes. For example, the 14th floor is for high-ranking adventurers… below is where the assessment takes place"
Assessment? I wonder what she means by that "What is this assessment you talking about?"
Erina realizes that I don't know much about the Adventurer Main Guild… sighing she starts explaining to me "It's where adventures are tested. Depending on their performance adventurers can be promoted"
Promoted? Interesting "How is one able to get promoted?"
Erina answers my question yet again… she starts explaining to me "Assessment is divided into 3 types. Combat, knowledge, and quest. Depending on each assessment adventurers can get promoted"
Combat, knowledge, quest… interesting "So you need to be able to pass all of that assessment in order to get promoted huh."
Erina nods… She starts explaining that once again "Passing combat assessment means adventurers have to show their prowess in fighting. Knowledge assessment is where adventures need to show their knowledge and skills related to being an adventurer."
Skills and knowledge huh "And quest?"
Erina answer my last question yet once again "Passing quest assessment means adventures have to successfully finish a certain quest. Of course, the difficulty level depends on the promotion."
Interesting… but to be able to pass all 3 is a bit hard really. But well adventurers have to prove themselves.
Erina grabs my hand… confused I look at Erina.
She signals me to start moving "Enough explanation, let's just continue our tour"
I nod… following her I start walking yet once again.
Erina guides me toward… the second floor of the adventurer guild. It's crowded just like the main lobby was. But this time the floor is packed with items, mostly weapons and armor.
But unlike the one outside, I feel like this one is different. Well because all of them look the same.
"So what is this floor's purpose? I mean by how it looks, was this floor where Adventurers are buying items?" I said that to Erina.
Erina nods… explaining to me "Yes they can buy stuff here… though I'm sure you already notice how the item here looks completely the same. Well, it's because these items are mass-produced and sold cheaply. So that the new adventurer could buy stuff easily."
"I get the gist of it but if it's mass-produced? Doesn't it mean it's a poor-quality one… so buying one would surely be a waste of money. And why wouldn't the adventurer use the weapon that they already have?" I said that.
Because I'm sure the weapon they received in the game is far superior to the one that is being sold here.
"Are you forgetting something? That we can't access our inventory since it's part of the system that we lost. So the only weapon we have is the one that is equipped for us…" Erina then paused for a bit as she continued.
"Plus most of the new people here are under level, like mostly the ones that usually get deleted are the ones that reach level 1 or 10. And their weapon is usually just the starter one, thus it's way worse…." Erina explained that.
When I think about it, Erina was right. Like the starter weapon stats are worse… like you can't do anything with it basically.
Also, I forget that they lose the ability to access their inventory. Because inventory management was part of the game system after all.
