Chapter 5 – Episode 5 – Adventurer!
About 15 days had passed since I entered the city of Ladia. When I first arrived at the gate with Ars and Lisbeth, there were ordinary people pulling wagons and soldiers who seemed to be getting ready to leave.
It was so shocking that there were even girls who urinated on me with a frightened face. If it wasn’t for Ars and Lisbeth, they would be monsters! Kill! It must have been the same atmosphere.
However, after Lisbeth got off, she continued to act strangely. After she got off from me, she suddenly screamed strangely, ‘Hey!?’ Behind Ars and me. When I asked what was going on, she said it was nothing and hung her head, saying nothing. She seemed to have seen something strange, for some reason her face looked very red.
Afterwards, as Ars explained what I was doing, soldiers and people started to gather, and after that, I was surrounded by people who looked like high-ranking people and guys armed with fairly expensive-looking equipment and brought me to a place called the Guild Management Office.
Afterwards, the people who heard my desperate explanation and Als’ cover performed various tests for 15 days with a worried look on their faces. In addition to asking questions, he brought some strange equipment and measured something…
Oh, come to think of it, embarrassingly, I forgot that I was just a horse with nothing on. If the young woman, confused between a nurse and a researcher at the large double bell attached to my lower body, hadn’t blushed and told me, she would have been naked for a while. After that, someone made me a pair of bottoms that covered my knees with something like cloth and covered my waist and lower body.
Days like that continued… On the 10th day or so, I went to see a high-ranking person who thought I was harmless, and I said thank you for coming to Shinsoo and that he would help me get along well in the city. He also talked about this and that with the director who manages the guild management office.
For reference, the director was a woman, and she was quite beautiful. She looked confident and tall enough to feel her dignity, but she looked like she was probably married, although I couldn’t check her age because I couldn’t check the status window.
But most of all, her breasts… I also admired Lisbeth’s breasts, but she had a hard time holding back her erection because she was so enormous that I wondered if this was three heads or maybe she was more than that. She was a ferocious chest that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. The warden also seemed to feel some gaze from the middle… But since I was sorry, I was lowering my head, so I felt embarrassed.
Anyway, today, after these and other procedures are finally over and she is officially recognized as a Shinsoo in Reinhardt Kingdom, she is said to be given citizenship so that she can become an adventurer. She wondered if she was treated as a spiritual creature in some country, but it didn’t seem like that.
Well, after all, isn’t this the best place to roam freely in this world? Excited in many ways, I lay down in a neat warehouse similar to a stable prepared by the kingdom, and woke up with a pounding heart.
“Now, once you have citizenship, you will be able to walk around the city… It’s a bit difficult right now, but if you get the humanization skill later, you’ll be able to get information from places like the library, and most of all, you won’t have to chew grass anymore! Kyaa, this is the beginning of a happy life in another world!”
As I said before, my diet so far has been all grass-grazing, from the forest to now. There were no hands, only hoofed feet, and above all, the horse’s face was hardly a face that could eat a normal meal.
The first day I arrived, the soldier asked me what to do with my meal, so I tried to ask for a proper meal, but I wanted to eat with this face and this body, so I just asked for some grass. And thanks to that, in one corner of the warehouse, weeds like fodder are piled up.
Apparently, in this state of being, I was asking for something, and I decided to think of food as the joy of being humanized. Although it is a bit of a chore to chew grass that only tastes like grass.
“Shinsoo Sema! You are ready for the citizenship issuance process! Please come to the guild management office with us!”
A few people who appeared to be young soldiers came to the warehouse and told me the story. I came out with my shoulders shaking with joy and headed for the guild management office with the soldiers.
Hehe, citizenship. Considering that Shinsoo can obtain citizenship, I think Reinhardt Kingdom is a pretty good place.”
“Haha Reinhardt Kingdom is a big and good country. But in fact, this never happened. I’m not familiar with it, but when it comes to Shinsoo, I know that it’s common for people to live in one place for hundreds of years before they can speak naturally, and people gather there to form a village. It is common to be revered as a village representative rather than a citizen. In the first place, there are few Shinto, and a case like Semanim will be the first in the world.”
“Heh, is it? Well, I’m not hundreds of years old, and I suddenly became able to speak.”
While exchanging small talk with a young soldier who looked like he was still in his mid-teens, he arrived at the guild management office, which was noticeably large even in the city. The soldiers went back saying that they could receive guidance from the guild management office afterwards. I felt it while coming, but it seems that something is a bit busy, and the soldiers in the distance look busy too.
After staring at it for a while, why is citizenship granted by the guild management office? I entered the guild management office.
“Ah, Mr. Sema is here! The preparations for issuance of citizenship and adventurer qualifications are just about finished!”
“Hehe, hello Sarah. I love this so much that I couldn’t even sleep and waited.”
Upon entering the guild management office, a young clerk called Sera greeted me. The first time he saw me, he was frightened, but after talking to me for a while, he decided that I was safe and started to treat me comfortably with a smile.
The other clerks still seemed a little nervous when they saw me, but she was a young woman who smiled and was comfortable with me. In addition, in the guild-related work for 15 days, Sarah helped me almost like her exclusive clerk. Thanks to her, she, me, and she were very likable to Sarah, and she was a woman I was looking forward to meeting.
“Status Window”
==================================================
Name: Ranette Serra
Race: human
Level: 15 ( 160 / 3600 )
Title: Idol Clerk at the Guild Management Office
Age: 22
==================================================
While Sera briefly turned around to prepare something, she quietly called up her status window and looked at Sera’s status window again. Isn’t the level a good level considering that he is an office worker? Because I’m only level 12. At least it seems to be at a level that can protect the body. As expected, what stood out was the title… Being the idol of the guild management office, surely, the other office workers were all beauties, but Sera, who stood out the most among them, had a look worthy of being called that.
Light green hair that was slightly braided to one side, a charming face with a smile on it, and a moderate height that looked a little under 170 if you subtracted from her heels. A little smaller than Lisbeth, but with breasts the size of a very large fruit. A slender body with curves that goes well with that chest. The neat uniform that went well with her figure made anyone feel like the flower of this guild management office. Besides, wouldn’t there be quite a few adventurers who are already immersed in this kind of kindness?
Looking at the status window, I tried to see what the adventurers around me looked like, but contrary to my expectations, there were only about 10 people inside. Even compared to the buildings on Earth, the guild management office looked very empty, with only a low floor and a fairly large area.
It’s morning, isn’t it time for adventurers to move? I thought a lot of people might come to see me because I’m a unique divine being… Just as I was thinking, Sera came out of the desk with something.
“Now, this is Mr. Sema’s citizenship card. It can’t be copied anyway, so I don’t think anyone will steal it, but if you lose it, the cost of reissuing it is quite expensive, so you should be careful. Everyone thought about how to give this to Sema, but there was a bag that could be worn like this. I’ll put it over here.”
Saying that, Sera attached a bag with two small pouch-like pockets to the thigh of my left front leg. Thank you for her kindness, she seemed to be in tears.
“At first, I thought about hanging it around my neck with a string… Looking at Mr. Sema, I thought it would be surprisingly uncomfortable to hang it around my neck. I thought a bag like this would be more comfortable, so I prepared it. How do you like it?”
“Ohhh… This sure is easy to move, isn’t it? Thank you, Sarah.”
It was quite nice that it didn’t bother me when I moved my legs around. There was a string attached to the torso, so it seemed that there would be no big problem even if it went wild.
“And this is the adventurer card issuer for Sema to become an adventurer! She is issued a card similar to citizenship, but for an adventurer, this card becomes a kind of resume.”
“Oh, resume? Why?”
“Because adventurer cards contain information such as the adventurer’s level and stats. Members of previous guilds also appear, and the achievements of adventurers with great achievements are recorded, so you can see what adventurers have done.”
I thought it was simply an upgraded version of the status window, but the adventurer card is more like a resume than a status window. Will the status window become similar if the skill level goes up? While thinking, I looked at the machine with a fairly large crystal ball that Sera had brought.
“First of all, make Sema’s adventurer card and check the stats! Actually, Sema-san is a divine beast, and there were many guilds that were expecting him to become an adventurer, but a fairly large dungeon occurred nearby the other day, so most of them went there as an urgent quest… I think I will find it.”
Dungeon! Another unbearable word came out. When I heard about the dungeon, I started to get excited with the thought that this was a different world. By the way, was that the reason why there were no people at the guild management office?
“Now then, please put your hand… No, your foot on this crystal ball. An adventurer card will be created by reading Sema-san’s Esser!”
Hearing that, I put my right foot on the crystal ball. After that, the light shimmers in the crystal ball, and the beads hanging under the crystal ball rotate and move. It was something strange, so I watched it with interest, and soon the light disappeared and I saw something drawn on the empty card below.
“Yes, it is done! Then, let’s check Sema’s information. Where is level 12…? He said he crossed the cursed mountain range and defeated Mad Cow in one shot, so I thought he was over 30… Ah! The stats are amazing compared to the level! Especially the stamina is amazing! Stamina isn’t a very important number, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a number like this, but level 12… I guess it’s because it’s a divine beast…”
Sera concentrated and made a more surprised expression. I’m curious too, but the clerk will check first. I was itching to see you, but I held back and focused on Sarah’s words.
“The Esser holdings are also amazing! I wouldn’t envy even a warrior at this level. I heard Shinsoo has an amazing Eser, but as expected… Uh, Skilllan… It’s a bit strange. With this level of strength, it seemed like there would be a conversion of speculation, but that doesn’t mean there is a conversion of magic…”
Sarah’s expression, which was surprised for some reason, changed to a tilted expression. What’s wrong, don’t worry…
Afterwards, Sera took out something like a thick, square board, put the adventurer card on top of it, and put the card back on the desk in front of me.
“Your management office confirmation and records have been completed! Check it out here!”
After looking at Sera, who had changed to a smiling expression, he looked at the adventurer card.
############################################### ##########
Name: Jeong Sema
Affiliated Guild: –
Level: 12
Amount of Esser: 516000
Stamina: 723 / Strength: 282 / Magic Power: 48 / Agility: 254
Possessed Skill: [Back Kick]
Special Features and Achievements: –
############################################### ##########
…Uh? Somehow, it’s simpler than expected. It doesn’t look that different from the status window. Was the kick I threw while shouting “Soccer Kick” A skill? Somehow, when I threw a kick, I felt a strange feeling in my body. Was that the feeling of using a skill?
And how… The stats seem to lack something in the items aside from the figures. Is this the end? Like mana or stamina?
“Uh…Sera? Is there anything less written on this? Why don’t you show the attack power or defense power?”
“Hmm… Things like attack power and defense are hard to quantify, so they aren’t displayed. What is displayed there is…”
She questions Sarah, and she explains her while looking at her cards together. The machine with that crystal ball is said to be a machine that analyzes Esser and quantifies only the parts that can be quantified. Names and achievements are entered directly at the management office, but the magic of the crystal ball machine analyzes the Esser and quantifies the rest.
There is a difference in stats every time you update them, but it is said that if you just play without training, your stats may drop dramatically. Even people with the same number say there are subtle differences when compared directly. Somehow, it just started to look like a health analysis number.
In addition, it varies depending on the physical condition of the day, and even if it is a similar number, depending on the condition, there are times when a person with a lower number wins, so it is better to just refer to it as roughly this.
“Come to think of it, they said fighting spirit or magical power… What is that?”
“Fight Conversion is a skill that converts Eser into energy to strengthen the body, and Mana Conversion is a skill that converts Eser into energy for using magic. Fighting spirit is used in the form of buffing the body, and magic power is used to use the skills of wizards classified as magic. You can use non-magic skills as long as you learn them, but you can use magic skills only if you learn magic conversion.”
In other words, the warrior class uses the buff called fighting spirit, and the wizard class uses magic-only energy called magic. But since I haven’t mastered fighting spirit or magical power, it must be said that I have to fight with only pure muscle strength and Esser.
“Let’s say you learn what you don’t have later… Then, if you learn fighting, can’t you use magic?”
“It’s not that I can’t use it, but if you learn both fighting spirit and magical power, both will become ambiguous. Usually, I tend to learn only one side according to my innate abilities.”
“Mmm…”
If so, my stat was a stat that I had to learn to fight inevitably. I was looking forward to using magic, but seeing that hybrids are shit, I can’t help it. Even in normal games, hybrids tend to be bad guys. It’s too bad that I can’t use magic more than anything else.
“It’s a pity that I can’t use magic… So, is this the end?”
“Ah, besides issuing cards, there are explanations about citizenship and guilds! Originally, the warden was going to explain, but the warden went to the capital after an order came down to quickly report the information about the dungeon and Sema that I mentioned earlier. So I decided to explain on behalf of you.”
“Oh my. Was that why the director couldn’t see it? Then please.”
“Yeah! Then I’ll explain in the back reception room!”
After seeing Sera insert the adventurer’s card dispenser, she went into the waiting room together, and she stood in a moderately wide space and listened to her citizenship card explained. As she looked at these and other documents and summarized the explanation of citizenship, she roughly recognized my citizenship in Reinhardt Kingdom and explained what would happen if I committed a crime.
Roughly similar to the modern Earth, it was at a level that could be summarized to say not to do bad things, so I understood it to the extent that it was enough to live a good life without accidents.
And since I’m a special case, since I came to Radia, I plan to rent a stable-like warehouse for half a year for free, and I’ll give you 10 gold coins as a settlement fee.
“It’s called gold, so I’m not sure how much it costs?”
“Generally, it is said that about 40 silver coins is the average amount for a family of 3 to 4 people to spend a month. Of course, the cost of equipment for adventurers is high, so the cost of living is much higher. The unit of money is one gold coin equals 100 silver coins, and one silver coin equals 100 copper coins. There is a small fairy tale that is used as change under the fairy tale, and it is 1 fairy tale for every 10.”
As I listened to it, I rolled a jjanggu in my head. Roughly, one silver coin was 100,000 won, and one gold coin was about 10 million won, which was converted into Korean won. Wow, so you gave 100 million for settlement? Do you treat them favorably? Living for a while won’t be a problem.
“And next is the guild! Perhaps Mr. Sema will be invited to join various guilds, but it is better to think carefully before choosing the first guild! There are quite a few adventurers who join any guild and ruin their careers!”
“Come to think of it, guilds have a different feel to them than I thought. Isn’t being an adventurer a job where you move freely while doing solo activities or forming a party?”
“There aren’t any people like that, but I usually make a one-man guild and move around. It is compulsory for adventurers to join a guild. There is a temporary contract job without a guild, but in this case, the tax imposed is very high, so you have to write a contract with the contracting guild every time you do a quest. Feeling like the guild is looking for someone to run errands when there is a shortage of hands? And usually, only the guild members who joined it form a party and move. In order to cooperate with different guilds, both guild leaders need permission and report to the management office.”
Listening to the explanation that followed, I felt a little different from the adventurer I thought. After all, a guild is like a company that adventurers join, and adventurers who do not join a guild are called illegal adventurers.
The reason for doing this is for reasons such as tax problems or managing adventurers, and for this reason, it is said that the party ends up with only guild members.
And the place where each guild is managed is the Guild Management Office. In other words, the guild management office was like an association of companies.
And at the kwanliso, people work for the country or other organizations. In other words, they bring quests, and each guild receives rewards for clearing quests assigned to them, and obtains additional income by obtaining sub-materials obtained from hunting.
In addition, it is said that among the guild leaders of middle-ranking or higher-level guilds, those with financial power often run separate companies connected to the guild. And Sarah explained that the guild’s income obtained in this way would be distributed to each guild member according to the salary contract and become the guild member’s salary.
People who don’t like this usually start a one-man guild and take on small tasks such as regular quests by themselves, or work in a way that is temporarily hired by another guild at that time, but it is said that it is an unstable method.
And when you create a guild, you make a sentence, and if you make that sentence, when you join the guild, the management office will engrave it like a tattoo on a desired place through a magic tool.
The sentence engraved like that is a sign that they are members of the same guild and is like a kind of magic circle. How the hell does a picture like a tattoo make it possible to share experience points?
He also said that the biggest drawback of temporary contract workers is that it is difficult to accumulate experience points because there is no guild crest. And because of this point, even if different guilds cooperate, it is said that it is not easy to catch monsters together.
It seems that the guild crest was engraved on the back of Ars and Lisbeth’s hands.
“Hmm, then I can’t just roam around freely and take on any job. I feel a bit regretful”
“Depending on the guild, there are guilds that allow such free action. It’s like taking small quests from the guild often and distributing them from those people. Of course, a very large guild has no reason to do so.”
“Well, yes… Then you can’t even do adventure activities before joining the guild anyway, so you should think about it carefully.”
“Whoops. Yes. If you have any questions or concerns, you are always welcome to come and ask. Do you have any further questions?”
“Um… Ah, counting by any chance. Are there any skills or methods for monsters and divine beasts to become human? It’s because I’m so uncomfortable with this word…”
“I heard you have skills. I’ve heard that most Shinsoo live in human form, right? I don’t know the details… Maybe Mr. Sema will learn it soon, too?”
“Oh oh…! Thanks. For the time being, I should aim to acquire that skill. I’ll think about the guild conditions for now and come back in the evening.”
“Whoops. Yes. I’m looking forward to seeing Sema’s human figure. See you in the evening!”
After leaving the reception room and saying hello, I hung a bag containing a wad of paper with a few detailed explanations around my neck, said hello to see you in the evening, and went out. As we came out, a few adventurers wanted to talk to us, but they just looked at us as if they were seeing something strange, and didn’t really talk to us.
“I thought an event would happen, huh…”
I went back to the warehouse feeling a bit sad.
