NOVEL WEB Chapter 26: This is just beginning
Horse-draw carriages rattled along the stone-paved streets of a town.
Varakiel: so here we are….it doesn't feel too different from mine…oh well now let's see granberia should be out already so let's go to the meeting point….
Varakiel then walks around until he founds the adventurer guild building…

Inside the adventurer's guild
Varakiel: as expected is lively here.
Suddenly a waitress greets varakiel.
Waitress: welcome! If you're looking for work, go to the counter side. If you're here for a meal, please take any open seat.
Varakiel: mhm, thanks lady.
Varakiel then goes to the tavern side, there he sees a beautiful woman with a beautiful scarlet hair and a pair of amber eyes and a tattoo that goes from her eyes to her arm…
Varakiel:(hehe the only difference are the scales and tail are gone from there she is as beautiful~.) May i sit here?
Some people began to speak between them.
Adventurer A: oh well there goes another one, poor guy is walking straight to a beating…
Adventurer B: yeah seriously who is she, she looks like a newbie but everything about her says danger…..
Granberia: of course….partner.
Varakiel: hehe, it seems you made it aswell granberia.
Granberia: of course, but you took a lot of time, what took you so long?
Varakiel: well she was the kind of girl who doesn't go straight to the point and i had trouble choosing so…
Granberia: i see well for me she went straight to the point and i choice an ability.
Varakiel: me aswell. So lets get some money first and register later.
Granberia: no need, i already got some enough for both of us.
Varakiel: hehe, hardworking as ever, alright lets go.
Varakiel and granberia go to the counter to get registered
Adventure A: life isn't fair…
Adventure B: i agree…waitress another beer…
Waitress: alright~.
….
Receptionist: hello, how can i help you today?
Varakiel: hello, we'd like to become adventures, we just arrived in the town so can you give us an explanation?
Receptionist: ha, very well! I assume you have some idea of what's involved. But just in case, please allow me to explain. First of all, adventurers are those who fight monsters–that is, creatures who do harm to people–outside town. However, they are also jacks-of-all-trades. Adventurer is simply a generic term for those who have accepted this life as their vocation. Each one also has an occupation.
Varakiel: i see so being an adventure allows me to be able to use skills of several vocations…
Granberia: sounds good indeed.
Then the receptionist sets a card in front of varakiel and another in front of granberia.
It was about the size of a standard identification.
Receptionist: you see the line marked level? As you know, every creature in this world has a soul within it. Whenever we eat or kill or otherwise end the life of another living thing, we absorb some portion of its memories. The memories we absorb are widely known as experience points. Typically, you can't see them. However..
She points to a part of the card.
Receptionist: this section will show an adventurer how many experience points he or she has gained. The corresponding level will be shown, too. So the card's a guidepost to an adventurer's strength and also indicates how many monsters he or she defeated. Any living thing, once it gains enough experience, will suddenly and dramatically grow in its abilities. people often describes this as reaching a new plateau or, in a word, leveling up…at any rate, when your level goes up, you gain points, which you can spend on new skills as well as a variety of other benefits. So make sure to work hard and raise your level~.
Varakiel: i see, so how much is the registration fee?
Receptionist:? There's no registration fee~.
Varakiel: but i remember tha-
Receptionist: there's no registration fee~.
Varakiel:.....alright thanks then…
Granberia:.....
Receptionist:~ all right I'd like you both to fill out this form. Please give your height, weight,age and distinctive physical features.
Varakiel: alright lets go granberia…
Varakiel and granberia go to a table to fill the form…
Varakiel: also don't forget to put your new information remember you are not a dragon kin right now…
Granberia: Ah, you're right…
Varakiel and granberia walk back to the receptionist.
Receptionist: all right, thank you. Now, each of you–please touch these cards. They will show your stats so you pick a class that matches your abilities. Based on that class, you may also be able to learn specialized skills at higher levels, so consider that when deciding on your occupation.
Then varakiel and granberia touch the cards…
Receptionist: all right, thank you. Mr….Varakiel Fateburn, is that right? Lets see…strength…vitality…magic…agility...intelligence…all in the high side…incredible….your luck, what!? What kind of numbe-
Varakiel then covers the receptionist mouth.
Varakiel: please lady don't cause a scene to a pair of newbies.
Receptionist:....i am sorry…with this amount of luck you could be called a paragon of luck…..with these stats you can specialize in any job you want….
Varakiel: ok…i will pick adventurer then,please.
Receptionist: a-are you sure? Even though isn't a bad job i think you should specialize even though as adventurer you can learn any skill the trade-off is that skills take tons of points to learn, and you can't expect them to be anywhere near as effective as when someone of the proper class uses them.
Varakiel: don't worry i know what i am doing, hehe.
Varakiel gives an smile to the receptionist.
Receptionist: v-very well….now….Ms granberia…. strength vitality magic agility intelligence…all on the high side aswell… and the luck….fiuu is only on the high side.
Granberia: i see so how much is the difference in luck with him?
Receptionist: well you can say that your luck is barely a ten of his luck.
Granberia: i see…you knew about this?
Varakiel: of course, how do you think everything goes so well for me?
Granberia: i see…..then i will choice adventurer aswell..
Receptionist: u-understood
Then both varakiel and granberia card shows the job adventurer…
Varakiel: alright thank you, let's go granberia.
Granberia: alright.
Then varakiel and granberia leave the guild…

Granberia: yeah you're right, but her sword is not bad either.
