Chapter 8: Chapter 8

The night life of Asterisk was felt like a different world compared to day time.

The city came alive in the night time. Buildings were lit up, pubs had more rowdy customers and the red light district seemed more appealing.

Nero walked around observing the atmosphere

A shady looking male approached him in a unsuspecting manner.

"Hey kid, I got a good deal on some new weapons"

Nero already knew that good deal meant that he stole them or just got them off of a corpse in the dungeon.

Everybody had to make a living somehow so he wasn't about to judge him.

"No thanks I'm good"

The male started getting more persistent

"I noticed your status crystal and that you don't have a party brand on your hand so you are a solo type of guy. Getting a top quality weapon will do you good"

Nero sighed then waved his hand, signaling that he wasn't interested.

The defeated salesman walked away in annoyance

"I hope you get swallowed up by the dungeon"

Nero chuckled when he heard that.

Death didn't scare him because it was looming around him, ready to take his soul at any given time.  

Nero then decided to swing by the usual pub he would frequent, mainly due to the conversations he would have there with the owner.

He approached the building and looked at the sign which read

Moon Lit Pub

He smiled and walked in calmly.

The environment was hectic with adventurers having the time of their life.

"Table for one?" asked a voice

It was one of the waitresses that were employed there.

The uniform consisted of a white shirt with a blue bow tie and a blue knee length skirt

"Uh yes" 

"Very well"

The waitress led him to a table and gave him a menu

Nero looked at the menu and said in his mind "Nothing really looks appealing to me right now"

A mature older woman  approached him and sat on the other side of the table

Her name was Gale Wenstein and she was the owner of the pub

"Good to see you Nero"

Nero looked at her

"Same here Gale"

"So what's new?"

"Well I entered the dungeon today"

That surprised Gale when she heard it.

"You actually did?"

Nero reclined the wooden chair he sat on

"Yeah, it was all Emi's doing"

Gale laughed and sighed

"Leave it to Emi to actually convince you"

She then noticed the status crystal hanging from his neck

"So you're officially registered with the guild?"

Nero held the status crystal in his right hand  

"Well Emi did the paperwork so yes"

Gale noticed the sad look in Nero's eyes 

"Well since you're an adventurer now, you should be looking for a party"

Nero laughed and placed him head on the wooden table

"Nobody wants to team up with an angel of death"

Gale lightly tapped Nero's head 

"Nonsense with the angel of death rubbish, the deaths in your family are just bad coincidences"

With his head still on the table

"I am not so sure about that, my family just feels cursed with a short life expectancy" 

Gale signaled one of the waitress to bring a drink 

"Is that one of the reasons you're hesitant to find your sister in the dungeon? 

Nero quickly raised his head up and glared at Gale

His eyes told her everything she needed to know

"Look Astra is a strong person, there's no way she could be dead"

Gale exhaled loudly and looked down at the table

"That's good, let's just hope for the best"

Nero clenched his right hand which was on the table

"I'll find her but it may take some time because it's just me"

Gale smiled

"That's the spirit but you should form your own party since nobody will allow you to join theirs"

Nero stroked his chin

"Hmm create my own party huh? I have thought about it and never really found anybody that I wanted to be party members with"

Gale folded her arms

"Nero you're too picky"

Nero exhaled loudly and propped his head with his hand.

"No along the lines of creating my ideal adventuring partners, I want them to be capable and carry their own weight. I don't mind training them as well"

Gale jokingly said "What about Emi, she always wanted to be an adventurer"

Nero smashed his fist on the table which frightened Gale

"No I won't allow it, I need her to be safe at all times. So the guild office is where she belongs"

Their conversation was cut short by a waitress bringing a large glass mug of ale

Nero thanked her and accepted it.

Slowly sipping some of it now

He felt bit relaxed.

Gale said "You know if Emi had a choice she would keep you away from danger but the only thing she could do is hope that you're alright"

Nero stared into the glass mug, looking at the brown liquid in the container 

"I'll do what I can to repay her for the kindness I've been shown by coming back alive every time I leave her. After all she is like my family"

The door for the pub swung open and the customers inside became noisy

"Look it's Dark Leaves"

"I heard they took down the boss on floor 30"

"Wow for real? That's bad ass"

A group of four people walked inside.

Julia Duskman wearing a light blue dress that complimented her figure with her long dark peach hair wrapped up. She looked quite stunning even wearing something that plain.

Draven Stokes wearing a brown long pants and a black shirt with his usual messy black hair and confident attitude 

Bane Ramos clad in a black long pants and a white shirt, his dark green hair was slicked backwards and he sported a mean mug 

Blade Dawnson clad in a black jacket that revealed his chiseled body, long black pants and a blonde buzzcut

The adventuring party known as Dark Leaves started to become widely known outside of the City of Asterisk with other places even asking for their assistance in certain tasks.

Nero actually wished to create a party stronger than them as a challenge to himself because he still looked up to people like Julia due to their strength and proficiency.

The Dark Leaves party sat at the table next to Nero who observed them silently while sipping on his drink

Gale excused herself and left to assist her employees with customers

Draven looked around the room 

"Free round of drinks for everybody on me!"

The entire room began to cheer

He then spotted Nero and his facial expression changed to a sour one

"Except for that white haired brat over there"

Nero acted fake hurt and sighed 

"I guess I am missing out on your generosity"

Draven turned his head in disgust 

"Whatever you say death angel"

Julia had a crossed look on her face

"Draven can you please stop acting like a jerk?"

Draven side eyed Nero 

"Something just rubs me the wrong way with this guy. His sister is the White Flash and he is just an average joe, that's just a disappointment to me"

Bane in a surprised tone of voice said "His sister is the White Flash? That's impressive, I am surprised he isn't living off her name"

Blade added in "Who knows maybe he will be as strong as her after some time, I heard those Ambrose are highly skilled humans who die an early death. Well that's the rumors I heard from my grandfather"

Julia sighed and said "Just drop the topic guys, it's not important"

Blade slightly rotated his neck cracking it

"Sure whatever you say captain"

Draven got up from his seat

"Since the Ambrose family is so great, let's test it"

He walked over to Nero and challenged him to a duel

"Hey scrub, if you're anything like your sister you should fair well against me in a duel"
