The city is surrounded by a 10-meter-tall stone wall and has a big open gate form where there is a steady flow of people going in and out of the town without trol. The people are all dressed differently: some easant clothing, others are more vishly dressed. There are also caravans pulled by horses, giving the pce a medieval vibe!
The city wasn’t defenseless because guards were stationed on the wall and some around the gate.
‘The guards don’t look like they are trolling the entry iy so it shouldn’t have ary fee.’
‘That’s good because I have zero money in this world so if they asked for money I would o steal some. ime I go to another world I’ll buy the Money System. It will be less annoying.’
Mikael joihe flow of people going into the city. He received some gnces because of his ‘weird clothing’ but he still smoothly ehe city.
The instant he was iy he was a little stunned by his surroundings. The town wasn’t the dirty image he had in mind when he was thinking of the medieval age but a beautiful city with wood and stone buildings but aesthetically pleasing ones.
But what made him think that he is in a fantasy world are the people. They belong to multiple races; he saw some elves and demi-humans with fox, dog, and cat characteristics.
Mikael took a discreet g the people around him before identifying a distracted, rich-looking man. He passed by him and took his leather pouch as if nothing happened before tinuing to walk."
He then walked in a calm alley to check the pouch.
‘There is 1 gold , 22 silver s, and 25 bronze s. I don’t know their real value but it should be enough for now.’
He put the s in the pocket of his pants before throwing the pou the ground.
He saoor-looking boy and asked him “Hey do you know where the library is?”
The orphan boy was wary but still answered “Yes you’ll o follow the main road for 200 meters befoing right.”
“Ok thanks,” Mikael said befiving him a silver and leaving.
The boy gave him a small nod as a thanks.
Mikael returo the main road following the instrus of the boy and arrived before a 2-story tall building with a sign with library written on it.
Wheered the library he saw that it was nearly empty. Mikael looked around and took a book about the Luminous Kingdom and all the reted information.
The Luminous Kingdom book talks about the creation of the world by the goddesses. It was the same story that was in the world description, but it was more detailed and portrayed the night goddess and the monsters in a ive light. He learhat the name of the light race's kingdom was the Luminous Kingdom and that it was ruled by a powerful S-rank king.
Below the king are the dukes whenerally A-rank. There are also marquis and then ts that are generally B-rank. In the kingdom, the Hunter guild is also really powerful. They have an S-rank guild master. When joining the hunter guild you will o pay a fee of 1 silver and will start as an F-rank hunter or pass an examination to start up to a D-rank hunter.
After D rank hunter you will need tributions to get a higher rank. tributions be obtained by doing quests. The harder the quest the more tributions you will gain. tributions be exged for money, gear, and more important body refining teique!
The money system of the Luminous Kingdom sists of s. The s are separated into four tiers: bronze s, silver s, gold s, and ptinum s. 100 s are equivalent to 1 of the superior tier. For example, 100 bronze s have the same value as 1 silver .
The book also mentiohat one bronze is generally enough to buy a loaf of bread. So, if we pare it to the price of bread in the USA, we could say that a bronze is roughly equivalent to 2. This means a silver is worth 200, a gold is 20K, and a ptinum is 2M!
‘If I calcute based on this parison, I just stole 25K from that guy. But seriously, what was he doing carrying 25K on him?’
‘Anyway, I should rent a room at an inn so I have a pce to sleep befistering as a hunter.’
“System, if I register as a hunter and pass the examination to directly bee a D rank hunter, will I gain the rewards for the F and E rank hunter quest?”
[Yes, the hunter quest is sidered a quest so if you plete the third quest(D rank hunter) it will automatically plete the first and sed quest(F and E rank hunter).]
Immediately after hearing the system's response, he looked at the map of the city pio the wall, which he now knew was called Onissa City, and located an inn and the Hunter's Guild branch.
He took the time to go to an Inn named Moonlight Inn aed a room with food included for 10 days with a silver . After he arrived at a building that looked like a tavern but it wasn’t an ordinary tavern but a Hunter’s Guild branch.
"When he opehe door, he saw what looked like a tavern but with a quests board and a lot of buff-looking guys with ons aher armor sitting at the tables and drinking alcohol. The surroundings were extremely noisy and lively. Some gazes fell on him, but nobody tried to provoke him because he didn’t look like a newbie with his sword and calm demeanor."
Mikael ighe gaze and directly walked to the ter where there were a couple of pretty girls ag as the receptionists. He arrived before a demi-human girl with fiery hair and amber eyes with a mischievous sparkle in them. She also has two fox ears and a fox tail.
The fox girl asked Mikael “With what I help you today?”
“I would like tister as a hunter.”
The fox girl's eyebrows raised in surprise before she spoke “Oh you aren’t one? I thought you were a hunter from another branch since you already have some gear.”
"Oh, you’re talking about my sword. I’ve done some solo training and hunting with it, but now I think it would be better if I became a hunter."
“You will o pay a silver to bee a hunter. It’s the basic fees.”
Mikael gave her a silver before speaking “I would like to pass an examination to start as a D-rank hunter.
“Alright e with me we will go in the D rank examination room” the fox girl spoke.
The fox girl looked at anirl before speaking “Liana you take my pce I o go do an examination.”
“Sure Ruby I repce you it was my turn soon anyway” Liana replied.
“Thanks”
Mikael and Ruby walked inte room with a rge open spad what looked like weight-lifting equipment.
Ruby stopped and turo look at Mikael before speaking “ This is the examination room as you see there aren’t many things but it works.
“We will test your physical parameters and if they are suffit you will bee an D rank hunter, if you not will end up as either an E or an F rank hunter.
“The most easily trackable attributes are the strength and speed so that is what we will focus on. If you aren’t satisfied with your result we do a more ih test for your other physical parameters.”
“We will start with a speed test. It is alright for you?”
Mikael answered “Yeah sure”
Ruby looked relieved. “Finally, someone who isn’t pining about the exam. It's rare that the ts aren't assholes who ’t uand that I don’t create the exam.”
She ported her hand to cover her mouth “Oups, I mean unpleasant ers.”
Ruby rapidly spoke “Anyways the speed test! It’s simple you simply run the distance from oo another of the room 10 ten times. It's 50 meters so in the end you'll have to run 500 meters.
“I will calcute your time and give you a rank based on it.”
Mikael took his position near a wall.
“Ready 3..2..1 GO.”
The instant he heard the GO he immediately began to ruook off like a rocket with his near-50 agility and his footwork skill his speed was near 120 km/h. Of course, he wasn’t capable of going at his peak speed permaly and ime to accelerate and decelerate.
What would have taken a good jogger nearly 3 miook him not even 20 seds.
Wheopped he heard Ruby excim “Damn that's fast its a k speed. If your strength is at least 50% as strong as your speed you should pass.
"She poio the weight se and said, 'Now, for the strength test, you will o bench press a bar. The more weight, the better your score.'"
Ruby added ”Oh and don’t worry if the bar falls on you it won’t hurt because it’s created with a special metal that cels the weight impact.”
" I do it multiple times and add progressively heavier weight?"
“Of course, you do it the number of times you want, only yhest will t.”
Mikael took position before bench pressing 100 kg extremely easily. It was so easy, it felt like a featherweight. 'Before I got the system, bench pressing 100 kg was my record, but now, it’s only the sed day after the Akashic Records appeared, the weight feels like nothing to me.'
, he easily lifted 200 kg, then he lifted 300 kg, which he passed retively easily. After that, he lifted 400 kg. It was hard, but he succeeded.
‘I’ll try 500 but it will be hard’ Mikael thought before taking position.
The weight dest was easy but wheried to lift the weight it was stuck ‘Fuck I do it’ before pushing the weight timeters by timeters and finally succeeded.
Ruby saw that he was looking tired and asked “Do you want to try higher or it will be your final score?”
Mikael took 1 sed to take a breath before answering “500 kg will be my score I'm not capable of doier than that.”
“Okay, so your strength score is that of an average D rank. With your strength and speed, you are qualified to be a D-rank hunter.”
Ruby looked a little embarrassed when spoke “Oh yeah I fot to ask your name. I will o know it to make your hunter card.”
“Mikael Angelini.”
“Let’s make your hunter card and you’ll officially be a hunter” she spoke before using a strange mae that gave her a small card.
Ruby gave the card to Mikael. He took it and saw that it had his h Hunter’s Guild and a D rank marked on it. It also had tributions: 0 written on it.
[Quest: F Rank Hunter pleted.
Rewards 200 LP]
[Quest: E Rank Hunter pleted.
Rewards 500 LP]
[Quest: D Rank Hunter pleted.
Rewards 1K LP]
‘Nice 1,7K LP and it ractically free, the quests were too easy, not that I am pining if more quests were like that it would be nice.’
‘The one is the k hunter quest and will probably be a lot harder.’
, the two of them returo the reception before Ruby began to speak “Now that you are a D rank hunter I’ll expin some basics of the job.”
“First of all, your hunter card is important, and will in the guild. Should you lose it you will o pay a fee of 10 silver s to create another one, so don’t lose it.”
“Sed, there is the quests board, where you look for a quest that you want to take. When you choose one you will take the paper and e to the ter and the quest will be registered in your name.”
“Some quests be done multiple times, like for example hunt goblin in the surrounding of Onissa city. These quests will have a RE which meaable. Other quests are unique like for example catch a particur thief.”
“The quests are separated in Rank for their difficulties. The rank varies from F-S. As a D rank hunter, you take up to k quest if you want but I don’t reend it, they will be really dangerous!”
“Finally but not least, the rewards. When you plete a quest you will receive tribution points. These points be exged against money, gears, and the most important one and the reason a lot of people join the hunter guild, the body refining teique.”
“Body refining teiques from F to S rank are avaible in the Hunter guild pared to other noble families that will need you to pledge loyalty to have access to their body refining teique” she spoke passionately.
Ruby asked, “Do you have some questions?”
“Yeah just to know what is the opening hour of the hunter guild?”
“The guild is open at all times.”
“Ok thanks, I don’t have other inquiries”
“That's good but do you want to take a quest?”
“No, I think I’ll go to sleep it's pretty te. I will e baorrow to take a quest” Mikael answered.
‘Yeah I’ll go sleep I’m tired of this long day, it would be stupid to take a quest when I am not at 100%.’
“Okay bye.”
“Bye,” Mikael said before leaving the guild and going directly to the room he had re the inn.
“System, Aedris time please.”
[Aedris local Time: day 38 of the lunar dar, year 1252, 23:11:08]
‘It's 11 P.m. in this world so it's a good time to look like I am sleeping in the inn but iy, I'm going to be in my apartment in the Records.’
‘It’s safer to sleep in the Records than in an inn where I don’t know if it’s safe, especially in an unknown world.’
“System, I want to leave this world.”
5 mier he was teleported out of the Aedris world and appeared in the Hub.
