Return to the Adventure Guild

Jake looked up at the wooden sign at the entrance of the tavern. The street was bustling, and people were entering and exiting the place, crowding it.

Slowly, Jake started walking into the place, clenching his fist.

"Please be easy this time. Please be easy this time." He muttered as he entered the giant tavern.

Inside, the adventure guild was bustling as always.

"Hey! It's a baron!" Someone shouted.

Jake smiled as he remembered what happened last time. It was like Deja Vu. But now was not the time to reminisce. He was on a time crunch.

He made his way to the long line that led to the receptionist desk of the adventurer's guild.

"Of course everyone is trying to ascend right about now. Last time I was here, at least I was ahead of the curve." Jake thought to himself as he moved forward one spot.

The line was gruelingly slow, and it took almost half an hour before he got to the start of the line.
