Chapter 6: Chapter six

Adventurer’s Guild was one of the most happening places in the entire Origin City. The guild was the place where one could register themselves as adventurers and get an ID card which is required to enter Dungeons both inside and outside of the city. The guild also has quests which any adventurer could take provided that he had sufficient ranking for it.

 

The ID card not only served as a token for entering a dungeon but it also functioned as a status window for others to check someone’s stats. In the game appraisal skill was a limited to only two individuals one being the tier X character Obsidian Dragon who had it as an innate skill and the other being none other than the protagonist who by some pure dumbshit luck happened to stumble across it in one of the dungeons outside of the city. The appraisal skill was so powerful that until you are a tier X character it couldn’t be negated and in this entire world those tier X characters could be counted on one hand.

 

“I need that appraisal skill  Richard is already quite strong so taking one or two skills from him shouldn’t be that bad.” Akira said to himself.

 

After the class ended he straight away went to the branch of Adventurer’s guild that was situated in the Origin academy, this branch was specially made for the students so that they could get their ID Card without going to the main guild and the academy could get their stats listed in their records. It was a win-win for both the parties but only a few people knew the Academy's real motive behind all this.

 

He entered the guild and it was exactly like in the game, a big spacious room containing a reception desk where a cat girl could be seen helping some students, a notice board which contains details about the quests listed by the guild, a teleportation portal to the dungeon’s entrance and stairs that were leading to the guild administrator’s room on the first floor. The main guild in the city was regulated by Guildmaster while its branches were regulated by Administrators.

 

Akira decided to get his ID card first and for that he went towards the reception desk where that beastkin was now typing something in her computer not paying much attention but her ears twitched a little when she heard footsteps coming in her direction. She looked up and saw that it was a first year student coming here which was unusual as they won’t be here until the end of the first week but there are always some exceptions, aren’t there?

 

In the game all the students were required to register themselves at the guild but it was only announced after a week or so but the protagonist being protagonist registered on the second day and went inside the dungeon making people shock at his ‘creative insight’ and ‘far sightedness’ though isn’t it expected of a prince to already know the traditions of Academy in advance?

 

Now that Akira thought about it he laughed at the developers for trying to make the protagonist ‘cool’ in front of everyone.

 

“Nyaa- are you a first year student?”

 

“Yeah my name is Akira, how are you doing?”

 

“I am good nyaa. What are you doing here on your first day nyaa?”

 

“Oh I was hoping you could give me an ID card for dungeon diving.” I so badly want to pet those cat ears.

“Ooh… ID card on the first day, are you sure about that nyaa?” She asked, taking some interest in this first year.

 

“Super sure, I want to explore the dungeon and see what’s there.” And increase my strength for the things to come, though he didn’t say the other reason in front of her.

 

“Wait for me here nyaa.” With that she went inside the staff room and brought a white slate made of rock with her.

 

“This is called an appraisal stone which can be used to look at your stats and make your ID card based on it. I need you to drop some blood in the centre of it, nyaa.” How could I forget about this appraisal stone, a super rare artefact which shows the skills of some but only the overview of it and nothing detailed and it had a limitation that the user needs to be in the correct state of mind to make this work. Mind control, slave magic, pressure of any sort on the user makes appraisal stone unable to show their stats.

 

“Oh and keep your head cool nyaa..”

 

He used the pin kept on the stone to poke his fingers and that worked as drops of blood poured out and dropped on the white stone making it glow in a green light, ahh this light is blinding how is she able to resist? 

 

Wait, where did she get those sunglasses on?

 

The process took a few minutes and the entire time she was staring at him making the atmosphere a little uncomfortable but then the green light died out and finally his stats were shown on the slate.
