The Guild

When I opened my eyes a big hall with many people walking about become visible from the back alley and my heart began beating with excitement. When I saw the myriad of people going in and out of the guild, I was captivated only watching the flow of people for many minutes, before finally deciding to enter and get myself registered as a freelancing adventurer.

So I entered the guild and looked for an open desk to go. When I found an open spot and walked over to questioned the employ there „Hello could you please tell me where I need to go to register as a freelancing adventurer?" I was shocked to realize who I spoke to was Eina Tulle.

She looked way younger than in the story so this is most likely really 3 years before the actual storyline. I was really happy about this so I started smiling from ear to ear.

Then I heard her voice „Hello if you want to register as an adventurer you need to show some proof that you are part of a familia and if your not you will have to register as a freelancer considering you already told me you want to register as a freelancer.

I can drop the formalities and ask you to fill out this form please sir?" she handed me a stack of papers after she was done talking and directed me towards one of the open tables in the corner of the guild. I went off and took one of the pencils and started writing down my name Cedric Sommerscave and my age I am 13 I wrote down that I don't have any housing currently.

When I passed my papers to Eina Tulle she told me to secure some sort of housing or I am gonna have trouble when I come back because most inns are closed in the night. When I heard her concern I felt flustered and before I left carrying my new identification I called out

„I love you Eina-san you're the best!" when I saw her blush I felt happy when I went out the door I picked up a faint voice saying „Maybe I was to nice to him?"

After I left the guild behind me and started making my way toward the Tower of Babel I felt as if someone was watching from within the tower so I looked up but I saw no one I also stopped having that dreadful feeling of being watched.

When I finally reached the dungeon's entrance I was stopped by a guard the woman told me to keep vigilance at all moments no matter what happens. She also told me about the basic attributes of the monster's in the first 3 floors. After I gave my thanks she gave me a small nod and said: „Now go!"

After my short exchange with the lady, I went ahead and entered the dungeon. Inside I got a notification. {System Message Host has unlocked Status option Map everything in sight will now be mapped and everything in a 5m radius is now grasped to some extents.}

„Will the map update automatically all parts that were mapped before or do I have to walk through these parts again to get a new map?"

{I am happy to inform the host If you have mapped one place and it changes the changes will be shown but the new unexplored areas will have to be mapped from scratch also here is a bonus if you complete mapping an entire floor.}

„Oh, then I start mapping floor 1 in its entirety as soon as possible."

I exclaimed pleasantly. When I finally descended the stairs into the first floor, I started walking around many corridors and mapping the dungeon's layout. Suddenly there was an outburst of monsters a monster party that's what the guild lady called it.

Right now in front of me are about 123 Goblins and 53 Kobolds and 3 Goblin variants as well as 1 Kobold variant. I seriously considered that this will be my doom so I started activating all my skills and went all out. Even though I got seriously injured over a dozen times and had to run multiple times, I was somehow able to dwindle the monster down to only the variants.

I was surprised to realize that the Storage function of the system instantly stored any item drops from the monsters I killed. I was also surprised at the fact I could duplicate any magic from the actual characters of the story, as long as I had enough magic power.

In the process of fighting, I lost one of my arms to the variant kobold that had rather strong fangs he just tore my arm of my body the pain almost made me blackout.

So through all this hellish fighting and pain, I gained one important knowledge dodge attacks with too much vigor will leave you open to other attacks. I started adopting a more secure fighting style over time and grew to the point where I was able to dodge all the kobolds and goblins only the variants still caused some trouble but in time I adapted to that as well.

At this point, I started facing off against 4 variants and was surprised at how much injuries I received before I finally killed them. Because I have my special skills I could consider myself lucky I was able to survive 123 sure death blows for others recover 10 severed or destroyed limbs and thousands upon thousands of really painful serious injuries as well as minor injuries.

Most of the injuries came from my fight with the variants. They really are a class of they're own. And because of my extremely fast recovery and extreme growth, this is now my status.

I told the system I only want to see the skills and magic section if here is a change to it or I request to see it and it seemed immediately obliged.

{System Message hidden quest fulfillment beat a monster party and beat more than 100 Monsters in less than 1 hour fulfillment rank S and SSS rewards gained 10000 shop points (SP), skill Luck B, skill Mage C, skill Blacksmith B and 100000 SP, skill Hunter A, skill Mixing C, skill Swordsman B, skill Fist Strike A, skill Diving H. Rewards have been gained.}

When I heard the notification I was in complete elation I can now practice alchemy and smithing. Making my own equipment isn't a dream anymore. {Obtained skill abnormal resistance}

„System what's this about obtained skill?"

{Obtained skills are skills master obtained through his own hard work because one of the variants was poisonous host has obtained the skill abnormal resistance.} when I heard this I couldn't go around it and asked the system „System please show me the rank of the skill abnormal resistance."

{Confirming host skill abnormal resistance S} wow my mind went blank for a moment at the fact that one of the hardest to level skills is already rank S I can really thank all the skills that increase my growth.

So as I went on to map the entire 1st floor of the dungeon I never thought it's gonna take another 3 hours to get it done on the way I encountered 12 monster party's, 30 big groups of monsters and 42 smaller groups, in the end, I killed about 12000 monsters today alone. I started resting at one of the most far of stairways I had mapped and took a small nap. When I woke up, I inspected my Storage and found a total of 11235 normal monster cores and 478 variant monster cores also 45 variant monster drops and 6732 normal monster drops. After that, I looked at my status again.

After all this, my curiosity got the better of me and I started asking the system many questions. „Why is my luck skill now great luck?" {Host the cause is that the skill evolved and reached new heights.} „Then what about the map I made how much will it be worth?"

{Host the rough estimate is around 10 million Valis.} „Then what about all the drops and cores?" {Host the value is about something between 400-600 thousand Valis.} I was really happy about this and started making my way towards the dungeon entrance.

On the way, I didn't meet any monsters besides a rooster when I killed that rooster he dropped 2 golden eggs. And my skill Great Luck went from C to A. When I reached the entrance I was almost 6 hours in the dungeon I reported to the guild lady I made it back and thanked her again for the advice. After I made my way towards the guild.

When I arrived I couldn't find Eina when suddenly another girl started talking to me she introduced herself as Misha Fluotto she says she is 16 years old and happens to be a friend of Eina Tulle which is my guild adviser. She told me if there is anything I can also tell her. So I went ahead and told her. „I need to exchange some items and I want to report my first entry into the dungeon in detail."

She with her pink flowing hair and her glowing pink eyes told me. „Very well I will prepare a private booth for you please seat yourself on the couch in the corner. I will excuse myself." After some time a lady called Sophie came t and lead me to one of the many private rooms in the back when I went in I was very surprised to see who is inside. It seems like the representatives of Loki and Hephaestus familia saw what I did in the dungeon and want to talk to me.

So when I entered I saw Eina, Misha and Sophie sitting on a couch holding some documents and on the couch to the right sitting and seemingly looking forward to what is to come Ais, Tiona, Tione, Lefiya, Gareth, Riveria, Finn and Tsubaki the only one not looking forward to all this seems to be Bete besides him was Raul having no idea what to think about all this. Eina wanted to explain but was interrupted by Ais who seemingly was very excited. „How did you get so strong so fast?"

I wasn't shocked and just told her. „I can't really tell you because I don't really know myself." She accepted my answer and didn't bother me after that. So Eina told me that they saw my exploits in the dungeon and wanted to know if I had an interest in joining one of they're familia's. When I heard that I told them truly what I want and about my ambitions. „I wanna become the strongest in the world and I wanna learn smithing my own equipment so I won't have problems with maintenance or just making new ones.

That's why if possible I want to take smithing lessons with the Hephaestus familia and also some alchemy lessons with another familia if possible. But in the end, I always wanted to join Loki familia." My answer shocked some of them and Tsubaki was just laughing her ass of. Then Finn said, „You wanna become an Allrounder then right?"

I just nodded and went on ahead and asked Eina to prepare my Item exchange I took out all cores and drops beside one of the golden eggs and they all looked on in shook when Riveria asked „That's not normal storage magic that's way too much and I didn't feel any magic please tell me what was that?" I went on and explained that I can store an unlimited amount of things by just touching him or thinking about picking them up like with how an adventurer always thinks about the drops and that's why I could just rush through monsters and would to have never pick something up because it's already done.

Eina came back with my bank card and adventurer registration papers. „Cedric Sommerscave here is your bank card as well as your adventurer registration papers. Please confirm the amount of Valis it should be 30 M 300 K Valis." When I looked at it and nodded she told me that if her are any things that I would need help with I could ask her Misha and Sophie for advice because the guild let them be in charge of me. After leaving the guild together with the others, Tsubaki asked me if I want to spar. The others wanted to stop her because they still want to talk. But in the end I told them we have all the time to talk in the future.
