The beginning

People said that you would disappear if you enter the Spirit Forest. It was a dark environment where you could not see more than a few meters. It is filled with magical beasts and monsters.

But legends say that there is a castle full of gold, weapons, and magic items in the middle of the forest. 

''Okay, it's time to look for those treasures! But alone, it's still quite scary. " Said the female adventurer with a low voice.

The woman was wearing worn-out leather armor, and she still had a decent magic bag that could carry a lot more than it looks.

Her green eyes were full of expectation but still had a tint of uneasiness, and her dark brown hair was floating in the cold air of the forest. She was not the most beautiful, but she had this special aura. She starts running at full speed through the woods, dodging trees and monsters alike with a decisive step. "Hehehe, this potion was a good find, but it was so damn expensive," thought the girl; this potion cost her a few gold pieces, Almost half of her saving! She gambles so much on this expedition to finally break free from her group. Passing by a strange tree, she starts thinking about how she got into this situation. 

She is an adventurer from the town of Galeen. She began her adventure four years ago at the academy of Galeen. Every new adventurer needs to study at the academy to test their strength and receive basic knowledge about adventuring. If their power is deemed low, they will have to follow lessons at the academy for two months, where they will learn how to survive in the wild and level up. After those two months, they will be able to register at the adventurer guild to be officially licensed as adventurers. Even influential people must go to the academy on purpose to find their companions. Galeen's academy is also a great place to find those. Everybody knows having companions that you trust is a blessing. 

Coming from a low-income family, she first had to work part-time in a tavern to earn enough for the school. The pub is also the place where she found her first comrade, an elf called Alea Elarora. 

The girl still running through the woods is finally stopped by a small creature with skin. It was a goblin! A small fry as tall as a child and equipped with a makeshift wooden mace. But what our girl thought was strange is that she'd found a goblin in this forest where even orcs needed to be careful. How can a lowly goblin survive in this environment? Not trusting the situation, the female adventurer directly went to hide behind a nearby tree. She was carefully looking at the situation when a pack of blood wolves came running to devour the goblin, but suddenly an enormous tree quickly stopped the group. It was a treant! Those monsters have incredibly high strength and defense stronger than iron, the only way you could kill one of them relatively quickly is to use fire. They are really low for using a lure for hunting their prey.

Happy that she trusted her instinct, she decides to take a detour to evade those creatures.

After a few hours, she chooses to rest a bit. To stay safe, she decided to climb a tree to evade most monsters that roam the forest. A few seconds later, she fell into dreamland.

Decides to climb

How she met Alea was horrible. At the inn, the girl was serving somebody else but accidentally fell on the elf girl, and a full cup of red wine fell on her. She directly starts cursing and shouting at the girl. She became so angry that she said, ''You dumb human filth, was this necessary?! Those clothes are worth more than yourself! Where is the manager!"

The girl, utterly shocked, said: 

Miss, please, I beg you, is it possible to arrange something between us? I need this job to become an adventurer!'' urging the girl to calm down. 

The elf began to think: ''She wants to be an adventurer, intriguing.. maybe I could use her, hehe. The elf asked her with a low voice: What is your name, human? We can maybe arrange something to come outside in an hour.''

The tavern girl replied in a timid voice,'' My name is Aurora. I will be outside in an hour."

The commotion alerts the tavern owner of the shining finger; the man quickly went to see what happened. 

''Aurora, what did you do again! 

You could feel the frustration in his voice. Before Aurora could say something, the elf Alea quickly spoke: it's nothing, sir. I fell on her when I tried to stand up. I am sorry. Is this enough to compensate for the wine and for causing a small commotion? " The elf girls took a single gold coin out of her purse and gave it to the man. Before exiting the tavern, she whispered," You own me a big one, girl. See you outside in an hour.''
