章 76: Chapter 76 - Bandits

Point-of-View: Argent Stryker

"I think it's about time now, I should be good to make Platinum rank," I mused to myself, as I cupped my hands into a lake to gather some water, before bringing it up to my mouth and gulping it down.

It's been a little under a year since that day, I'm not sure of the exact date, but it's somewhere in the middle of September, the year 2011. After I finished my ranking exam with a starting rank of Gold, I stayed in that town for a couple of days and took on some quests. 

I had planned on staying a bit longer, but I couldn't tolerate all the pitiable and sympathetic looks and whispers I'd get from the townspeople. It was pretty unbearable, so I left earlier than I'd initially planned.
