Adventurer

Looking around for something that resembles the adventures guild was easier said then when you don't know what your looking for but Alex and Kuma found it after walking around for half a hour.

The building looked like a log cabin from the outside but when Alex went inside it was suprisingly large.

He walked to a counter where a girl greeted him.

"Hello young man can i help you?" The girl behind the counter asked him.

"Yes i would like to register and sell the mantis corpse if possible." When he said that the girl looked behind him and saw that there was the corpse of the giant mantis behind him and nodded.

The girl grabbed a card and told Alex that they needed a drop of blood and handed him a small needle.

After pricking him self and having a drop of blood fall on the card he saw it changing with his name,age,race and his rank which was F rank.

"All done with this you can pick any F rank quest you want if you fail the quest you will have to pay so be mindful of what you pick." With that Alex went to a board which had the quests he looked at it before picking a herb gathering quest and a monster killing quest which was for dark squirrels he needed to bring there tails as proof.

With those quest picked out he went outside and saw the sun going down he had a few hours of sunlight left.

(We need to be quick buddy) Alex told Kuma who nodded so once they were outside to looked for the herbs and dark squirrels.

The herbs were easy to find it was orange and looked like grass it was used in low level fire resistance potions.

The dark squirrels were hard to find they were elusive but after walking for a hour they were about to call it a day when.

(Drop to the ground now.) Kuma suddenly said but Alex did not question and dropped to the ground when a black blur went above him.

F rank monster dark squirrel.

Turns out they did not have to search for it since it came to them.

Kuma jumped off Alex's shoulder and immediately rushed to the squirrel and used his claw skill the squirrel not realizing its mistake decided to rush to Kuma wanting to trade injuries but one claw stopped its attack and another claw severes the head.

When the squirrel died multiple weird noises where heard and Alex and Kuma looked up and found multiple dark squirrels who did not look happy that their kin was just murdered.

Before Alex could think about a plan the squirrels jumped from the three and Kuma managed to kill a few with earth claw while Alex just focused on dodging sure it was a F rank monster but still Alex did not want to get scratched it would be annoying.

Kuma ran to help Alex using his claws and after a little scuffle there was only blood and dead squirrels around the two of them.

Both decided that a weapon for Alex was necessary especially since his strength leaves a lot to be desired with Kuma using his claws to cut the tails of the squirrels.

When they finally got back to the town it was dusk so Alex went to the guild to turn his quests in.

Walking to a counter he showed the quest papers and the herbs and dark squirrel tails which gave him 50 copper.

Before he left he had a question "is there a place i can sleep nearby?" Alex asked not hoping to spend the night outside.

"Ofcourse just take the first left and then you need to walk till the end of the street there is a inn where you can sleep." The girl behind the counter answered him.

So they went walking to the inn (do you think i can get a weapon with this money?) he asked Kuma. the bear shrugged his guess was as good as Alex's so with that they went to the inn.

"Welcome what can i do for you?" The guy behind the desk asked them as soon as he saw them enter.

"How much is a room for one night?" Alex asked hoping it was in his budget.

"One night is 15 copper." The man answered Alex was not happy with the price but paid for two nights which left him with 20 copper.

Once they where in his room Kuma jumped from his shoulder and landed on the bed and looked around.

(Not to bad.) He told Zack who nodded and sat down and decided to look at how to make more mental pathways.

To make more pathways you need to meditate to make your mind stronger. The system told him so he decided to meditate and felt his link with Kuma getting stronger.

(Whatever you did its working.) What that answer from Kuma Alex decided to meditate for just a bit longer before he decided to go sleep.

Waking up early was something Alex was good in so at 7 he was up and woke up Kuma who also fell asleep and laying on the pillow Kuma was not the happiest with waking up early but when it happens enough Kuma won't mind eventually.

Back in the guild he decided to take a few quick herb gathering quests where nothing interesting happened but it got him 50 copper again so with 70 copper on him he decided to look for a weapon and see what is around town he saw a lot of adventures and saw multiple shops like a furniture and general goods a potion store before he found the weapon store.

Entering it was suprisingly calm not a lot of people who need weapons or atleast that was Alex's guess.

"Oh good day young man looking for a specific weapon?" Came a voice from behind Alex looked behind and saw a dwarf.

Trying not to be suprised Alex answered "yes i was wondering how much is a axe and daggers?

Hearing this the dwarf motioned for Alex to follow him where there where a few axe's on display.

"These axes are good quality and cheap they are nothing special but it is what most people buy it is 30 copper."

Alex with a heavy heart bought it and a knife instead of daggers since the knife was 10 copper while the daggers where another 30 copper so with the axe on his back he walked into the guild and picked a quest where he needed to go in the sewers where a nest of gaint rats was normally he would not have gone but the pay was 35 copper probably because no one wants to go in the sewers.

Taking the quest the guild employees where happy someone finally took the quest and wished him luck.

Alex found a town guard who took him to the sewers entrance which was suprisingly clean and went in.

(So how many do you think there are?) Kuma asked Alex.

He shrugged (i dont know but there is enough for there to be a nest here.)

As they kept walking they spotted 3 gaint rats.

(You take one i take two as soon as your done help me with mine battle if necessary.) Alex told Kuma who jumped of his shoulder.

When Kuma landed the rats heard it and looked there way before charging at them.

Alex quickly grabbed his axe and waited for the rats to make the first move with Kuma beside him.

The rats jumped at him Kuma ran under them to attack one from behind while Alex brought the axe down on one of the rats heads bringing it immediately to the grave and dodge the other one.

Kuma on the other hand send a earth claw which the rat blocked but the rat had not expected for Kuma to immediately come running at him after he launched a attack and jumped back a bit but Kuma just kept coming.

Alex now fighting one gaint rat waited for the rat to attack again as the rat ran at him and tries to attack his ankle Alex took a step back and brought his axe down but the rat dodge and now ran at him again and managed to scratch his ankle before Alex kicked it at a wall and brought the axe down and killed it.

He looked at where Kuma was fighting just to see Kuma deliver the killing blow with a claw to the head.

(Nicely done) Alex told Kuma who nodded and decided to walk next to Alex so they could potentially ambush the rats.

As they walked a bit deeper they found more rats which were killed but they kept coming from almost everywhere the only direction they were not getting attacked from is behind.

(I am done with this.) Kuma said and jumped forward and stomped on the ground making a earthquake and making it hard to move for the rats some even lost there footing.
