Kapitel 5: Guild's Quest and PIDMA's Quest

Del opened his eyes. The ceiling was not that of the bar. The ceiling was that of his own room. He tried to regain his consciousness after that long drinking session last night. The hangover was killing him with the headache.

He remembered that he had a weird dream last night, about Pidma and something with a system on it. Well, it was a dream so Del wouldn't even bother about that. He got up from his bed and washed his face with the water on the….

"Thinking about it, what happened last night?" Del thought as he washed his face.

[Hello…]

"What???" The screen from his dream appeared right in front of him.

[Yes. I'm PIDMA. We met last night, right?]

"Wait, you're the one from my dream? You're real???" Del's jaw dropped.

[I'm very real. We already have this conversation before, haven't we?]

"Yes, I know, but still. I can't believe that you're real. What are you doing here? Are you here to remind me about something?" Del asked the mysterious screen that was floating in front of him.

[Yes, I'm here to remind you of our deal last night. Displaying Quest…]

▬▬▬

[Basic Training 101]

Alright, since you are not even fit to become a soldier, you need to exercise a bit. This exercise is certainly not heavy for you who have tried Head Captain Lyner's training. Anyway, good luck with the exercise.

Task:

[Do Push-Up] [200x]

[Do Sit-up] [200x]

[Run] [20 Miles]

Reward: [1x 1911 Pistol] [24x .45 ACP LVL.1] [3x 8-rounds magazine] [2x Sterile Gauze] [Strength +3] [Agility +3] [3x Medium Crackers Pack]

▬▬▬

"Woah, so it's real?" Del scratched his head while looking at the screen in front of him.

[Yeah. Of course, it's real]

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, "Del, who are you talking with?"

Suddenly, Del realized that he had been talking to a screen that couldn't talk back. The voice from outside was Rina's. The inn owner must have thought that Del was still drunk from last night's drink even though he had been detoxicated with her spell.

"Sorry, it was just a cat," Del said.

"Alright. Breakfast is ready downstairs," Rina said from the back of the door.

"I'll be coming there soon," Del said.

Del looked at the screen that was still in front of his face. It was on idle. PIDMA must have heard Rina and went idle. Del immediately felt that it might be a good idea to do what PIDMA told him to do. It was only a basic exercise.

Del got on the floor and started the exercise. First, he would do the push-up. Del put both of his hands on the floor and started the exercise. He did the push-up two hundred times. After that, another screen appeared.

[Do Push-Up] [200/200] [Task Completed]

Del flipped himself over and started to do sit-ups. He lifted his body up and down two hundred times. After that, the same screen appeared.

[Do Sit-Up] [200/200] [Task Completed]

Del felt sweaty, but the sense of accomplishment was filling his heart. He felt energized to start the day. However, that spirit went away once he remembered that he could barely make anything by doing odd jobs in the guild.

He picked up his swords and he went out of his room and locked the door. Four rooms were on the second floor of the inn. The inn where Del was staying was well-known to be cheap and decent. It was no wonder why there were so many beginner adventurers on the inn.

Some of them were obviously still sleeping while the others had gone down for the breakfast. Del went downstairs. The stair would lead to the lobby. The dining area and the bar were located at the back of the lobby.

Usually, in the morning until afternoon, Rina's daughter would be at the receptionist's desk. Her name was Lisa. Lisa always worked when her mother was sleeping. Fortunately, Lisa was at the receptionist's desk right now.

"Del, what're you going to do today?" Lisa asked as Del walked downstairs.

"Ah, you know, the usual, running odd jobs from the guild for a little bit of cash," Del said.

"It would be better if you spend it on something other than alcohol," Lisa said.

"Hahaha, that's good advice. I'll see you later, Lisa," Del entered the dining area.

As he thought, the dining area was quite crowded. Adventurers were eating at the tables of that dining area. Some of them were eating together in a group while some others were eating alone. The breakfast was served buffet-style.

Del grabbed a plate. The breakfast for that day was mashed potato and gravy. It was not fancy but certainly would fill up his stomach. Del sat down on a table near the window alone. He didn't feel like talking to the other adventurers.

As he ate, he looked out of the window. The view of the small town was quiet as usual. There weren't many people living in the border region after all. Del was banished to a town called Midham. It was located very far away from the capital.

It took Del three weeks just to reach the town using a horse carriage. The town was not filled with many buildings. There were only a few buildings inside of that town. The biggest building was the guild building where the adventurers took quests.

The other buildings were the blacksmith, the inn, the market, and some houses owned by the residents of that town. Overall, it was a quiet town without any traffic from a carriage or something similar.

People also had zero to no interest to come to a town located close to the neighboring empire. Only select people wanted to stay in a town like that. There was a high chance that any border town would be attacked first.

Del finished up his meal and he went outside of the inn. He smelled the fresh air of the countryside. It definitely smelled better than the urban area where he used to live in. He walked down the streets to the guild building.

The guild building stood up among the other buildings. That building was painted in white and was the tallest building inside of Midham. It was five floors tall. Guild building could be said as the most luxurious building in Midham since it was a place where the more experienced adventurers stayed.

Del entered that guild building.

He headed straight into the receptionist's desk. Usually, the guild secretary compiled the quests according to their difficulty. They were F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, X, and O difficulty ranks. There was also the quest board where the guild secretary put a quest with high reward and high demands.

Adventurers were also divided into those ranks. F toE ranks were considered to be the novice adventurer aka the newbies. D to C ranks were considered to be the beginner adventurers. B to A ranks were considered to be experienced adventurers. S to SS ranks were considered to be expert adventurers. SSS to X ranks were considered to be legendary adventurers.

Then there was the O rank. This rank was so rare that nobody had gotten this rank before. This rank was usually attainable by combining the power of one adventurer party. But still, it was very rare to see a party with the strength of O rank.

It was not like there was a quest for someone who had the rank beyond B in the town of Midham anyway. Most of the quests in Midham were either E rank or C rank. There was no point in giving an S-rank adventurer an E-rank quest. It would just be taken as an insult.

"Hey, Del, looking for work again?" The receptionist asked.

"Yeah, more or less. What do you have for me?" Del asked the receptionist.

"Well, what do you have in mind? I'll search for it on the guild's quest book. There might be something that fit your request," the secretary said.

Del thought for a moment. Right now, the only assignment that he hadn't finished was the running for ten miles assignment. It might be good to do a delivery quest where he had to deliver a package to a location.

"Do you have any delivery mission?" Del asked the guild receptionist.

"Well, in fact, I do," the guild receptionist said.

"Show me then," Del said.

The guild receptionist put a paper on his desk. It was a quest with its description. There was also a small package beside it. The quest description was simple too. Maybe it was because an easy quest didn't need a lot of descriptions.

▬▬▬

[Delivery of a Wedding Ring] [Difficulty: F]

Location of Delivery: Begard, Lebisa Street 27.

Reward: 2 silver coins, 50 copper coins.

▬▬▬

One silver coin was equal to that of one dollar on Earth. It could buy Del a meal and that was it. One copper coin equals that of one cent. It was only there as a loose change. Copper coins were also very small, many people lost copper coins since it was worthless.

"Alright, I shall take this quest then, Begard is not that far from here anyway," Del said.

"Alright, here's the quest paper, and here's the wedding ring. I'll reward you once you return here, ok?" The receptionist said as he gave Del the ring and the quest paper.

Del left the guild building with the package in his pocket.

Kapitel 6: Midham and Begard

Del began walking towards Begard. The town was not very far from Midham. It would only take thirty minutes by horse. If Del ran in the direction of Begard, he would arrive there in around two hours.

The road toward Begard was paved with stones. The road to Begard wasn't dangerous due to the continuous patrol from the knights of the Elbanian Kingdom.

It would be exhausting and Del knew about that. However, a 1911 pistol was well worth it alongside extra crackers. With those crackers, he would be able to take a quest located a little bit further without spending much money just for the food.

The clothes that Del was wearing was still the same as the one which was given by the Elbanian Kingdom. He washed the clothes once a week when he could afford not to go outside of the inn. He would usually dry his clothes upstairs while waiting for them to dry with the other adventurers. He planned to buy new clothes if he had the money.

Speaking of clothing…

"Pidma, are you there?" Del asked while running in the road.

[Personal Information and Data Management Assistant Initiated]

[Hello there, what can I do for you?]

"Pidma, last night, I saw that you can give me something other than guns. Can you give me clothing?" Del asked.

[Yes. I can give you anything besides guns for a modest price]

"Cool, give me a new pair of clothing then," Del said.

[Give you? You need to pay for it, Del. You better have the money.]

"Is five silver coins enough for a new pair of clothing?" Del asked.

[Calculating Conversion From Coins to Dollars. User Has 10$]

"Does that mean I have enough money to buy a new pair of clothing?" Del asked.

[No, I'm afraid not.]

"As expected…" Del sighed.

Del knew that he didn't have enough money. Even the cheapest clothing in the clothing store was twelve silver coins and it was used. A new white shirt would cost him around fifteen silver coins. Del couldn't afford it yet.

[However, if you need an item, I can arrange a quest for you. Some people actually have demand for some items. Others are interested in having someone disappear. There is also some demand on the market for information.]

"Wait, well, show me a quest for clothing then," Del said as he continued walking.

[Ok.]

▬▬▬

[White Wolf Fur Demand]

Alright, I found that someone in Midham wants to buy a white wolf fur. If you come to the guild and finish the quest, you should get enough money to buy a new pair of clothing. I can arrange a loadout for you to use if you finish the quest.

Task:

[Finish Gathering Wolf Fur Quest] [1x]

Reward: [M1943 Combat Uniform] [20 Silver Coins] [50 Copper Coins]

▬▬▬

"White Wolf??? Pidma, that thing is a D-rank threat. There is no way I can't deal with that thing. I even doubt that bullet would penetrate the thick skin of the wolf itself. However, if you give me a rifle," Del said to Pidma.

[Want me to put it for later?]

"Yes, I'll take that quest when I become strong enough. In the meantime, I'll just focus on the task that you give for me right now," Del said.

[Very well then.]

Del continued walking on the road that led to Begard. The road that led to Begard was bordered by two locations. One was a mountain located on the north of the road. The other one was a forest located south of the road. Both places were known to be dangerous places and the guild advised anyone not to go there unless necessary.

Talking about location, the mountain of the north was dangerous because it was a breeding ground for cold weather monsters. One of the monsters that Del knew was the White Wolf. It was known to be able to kill a novice adventurer in just one slash. That mountain was also known to be the home of the mythical ice dragon.

As a result of the combination between dangerous monsters and a lair for an ice dragon, that mountain got a danger rating of C-rank. Ice dragon itself was an S-rank threat that required a full party of A-rank adventurers just to subjugate.

[Del, could I ask for something? What's your biggest fear of this world?]

"What do you mean? I think I fear everything in this world. I don't have any certified education in this world. I don't have any connection in this world. I don't have any strength to survive in this world. My only friends want me to go away. The kingdom banished me from my only hope of surviving. The only thing that I want right now is to live decently," Del said to Pidma.

[That's a tough life you have there.]

"Trust me, I'm a high-school boy turned into adventurer without any preparation," Del said.

[I see.]

"Don't you worry about it, my life is going to be short anyway," Del said.

[Not under my watch, Del.]

"Right, you're kinda like a guardian angel, you know?" Del asked.

[Yeah. I agree with that.]

After two hours of sprinting and stopping. Del finally arrived in Begard, drenching in sweat. Begard was a bigger town than Midham. It was located right on the east side of Midham. Del had visited the town multiple times during his time as an adventurer.

It had been a month since he became an adventurer. He was not as novice as he used to be, but he was certainly as poor as when he started. Now, he had to find Lebisa street first. The road in the Elbanian Kingdom usually had a nameplate, it made things way easier.

Del walked in the direction of the center of the town. The center of Begard was a fountain. The fountain would lead him to every single street on Begard. Begard might be a big city, but it was not as big as cities like New York or anything in the modern world.

"Sir, do you know where Lebisa street is?" Del asked one of the bystanders.

"Boy, what did you do to get that kind of sweat?" The bystander asked Del.

"I ran from Midham to Begard, that's where my sweat came from, sir," Del answered as he wiped his head.

"Boy, you can take a horse, can't you?" The bystander asked.

"Sir, respectfully, do you know where Lebisa street is?" Del insisted.

"Sorry, it's right around the corner of the fountain," the bystander answered.

"Thank you," Del said.

'Goddamn old hag wasting my time,' Del cursed quietly as he left for Lebisa street.

Del looked at the buildings along Lebisa street. At first glance, all of it looked the same. All of them were buildings made from bricks and had two floors. Luckily, every building had a number plate in front of it. Del just had to find the correct one.

"27… 27… 27…," Del searched for the house, "Aha, 27!"

Del approached the house with the package in his hand. The owner of the package might not feel comfortable with Del's sweaty palm. But well, if he wanted the wedding ring, he had to get it from Del.

Del knocked on the door, "Excuse me, a package from Midham."

A woman opened the door. It was an old woman, probably in her mid-40s. "Young boy, what can I do for you?" The woman looked at the box that Del brought, "Oh my, thank you so much. I'll send a word to Midham that the package arrives safely." The woman took the package.

"Thank you, ma'am," Del left the building.

***

Del sighed as he gulped down the glass of water at the inn. It was exhausting, but Del got his money. Rina was nice enough to give Del a free glass of water. It usually cost around twenty copper coins just for a glass of water.

"Del, why did you run to Begard? You can take a horse, you know?" Rina asked.

"Rina, that's a private matter, ok? It's not like I can't walk. I just want to save money, you know?" Del said as he gulped down another glass of water.

"Haha, I see. Anyway, Del, I have to go back to work, you take a rest, ok?" Rina left Del's room after she put a big mug of water on the desk of his room.

"Now, let's see. Pidma, are you there?" Del asked.

[I'm here. Do you want to take the rewards for the quest?]

"Sure, bring it on."

[Alright. Dispensing Reward…]

Suddenly, a big metallic box appeared on Del's desk. It spilled the glass of water that Rina brought for him.

"Dang it, my glass of water," Del said.

However, his disappointment was wiped away by the sudden appearance of the metal box. He stood up from his bed and looked at the metal box.

"Let's see what we have here," Del opened the box.
