Not Long Now

Atlas approached the inn's counter while the older woman greeted him with a warm smile, "Boy, I'm sorry for being rude, but I haven't asked your name yet,'' she questioned.

"My adventurer name is Azhar'Zul, I'm a Rank E adventurer from Astoria," he replied, introducing himself while sitting at the counter.

Mariam nodded, but the big man spoke in a friendly voice, ''Thalassia Empire?''

''Yes, but I was shipwrecked on Zarandar a week back; all I've been doing is exploring the continent while leveling up,'' Atlas revealed, causing the two adults to smile.

''So you're a Ranker then?'' Mariam questioned while sipping some ale the owner gave them.

Atlas nodded before answering, ''I love the feeling of earning experience as it flows into my body.''

The two adults laughed, and the older woman commented, ''It makes sense since your aura is chaotic and flares up occasionally. All I can see is a beautiful blue glow from you, which is odd.''
