《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 7: First Mission (1)
Advertisement
Alice was waiting for Arnold outside John's office. She was wondering whether her dad was able to make him stay or not, she was about to peep inside when the doors leading to her father's office, opened up and both of them walked out.
Arnold couldn't look happier, just as he was about to leave he saw Alice and went ahead and told her about the good news, even she was happy for him as she knew about the hardships he had endured for the sake of his sister and from the money he'll get now, Nicole's treatment would be more effective. Just as they were happily chatting, the guild communicator on their wrist started vibrating, indicating there was a notification. They both looked at the communicator, they were urgently called for a dungeon mission. No details were given, they were simply asked to report near the guild's entrance.
"Emergency mission?" Arnold looked at Alice, hoping that she'd know something about it.
"I don't know. But it should be something like that." She replied as they both rushed to the gate.
When they reached near the gate, everyone else including the guild manager James, was already present there. Everyone was already wearing their gears, but no one paid any attention to Arnold, he was an outcast after all.
Seeing that every one of the 12 man team was already there, James started speaking.
"A blue dungeon gate has appeared near the Everglades. Since it comes within our territory, the mayor has requested us to kill every monster in there, the detailed report has been sent to your communicators, you can refer to it if you want more information about it." He said sternly and looked at Arnold, "Since it is a new experience for you and we don't have a spare porter right now, you'll continue as a porter and only observe for today."
Of course, the guild had spare porters but Arnold knew it very well that the guild master was forcing him to do the job so that he could humiliate him and make the others feel better by making him feel helpless. Everyone was laughing at him right now, especially EL and Miguel.

"You just need someone to carry it right?" Arnold asked James.
"Well that's what a porter does," he replied smirking like the others. Even if the vice president had appointed Arnold as a warrior, they would never treat him like one.
"Great then!" Arnold smiled.
Everyone was confused at Arnold's behaviour before they saw the creature standing behind him. It was a frost golem.
"If carrying the bag is the only thing to do then he is perfect for the job," Arnold said patting the golem on his back, no was smirking anymore. Arnold successfully outplayed everyone else. He ordered to golem to take care of the bag and the items. Everyone got into the vehicles provided by the guild and headed towards the Everglades national park. Arnold was about to enter the park when a thought hit him. He hadn't picked a class yet. He quickly opened the [rewards] tab, and after pondering for a while he decided to pick [COSMIC CREATIONIST] class as it had the most useful abilities like foresight and weapon creation.

"It's a shame I don't have any gear to use the [ENHANCEMENT] spell on..." He looked back and saw the golem taking out the bags and carrying the necessities. Arnold had an idea, he walked back towards the golem, placed his hands in its chest.

His guess was right! He could enhance the golems as well. He used the skill for the first time and the buff received by the golem was already overpowered. Even though Arnold pretty much knew that with his current level, the enhancement wouldn't be a permanent one, seeing the stats of the golem made him crave for more.
Golem had changed physically as well. He was taller and bulkier than before. But the most noticeable change was his two additional arms. Everyone who saw this only had one thing in their minds, "Who the hell is Arnold!?" Not only did he had ice and earth affinity, but he could also use support spells. The person who was shocked the most was Miguel, after losing the fight, the only closure he had was thinking that at least he was able to push Arnold to give it all he had, but seeing him using support spells took away the little bit of closure he had.
As he was staring at Arnold, Arnold was staring back at him too, Miguel suddenly felt uncomfortable and quickly averted his gaze. Little did he know Arnold was using his [PROBE] skill on him. After using the skill, a system message was shown in front of him.

"We will now enter the dungeon! Make sure your gear is in proper condition and that you're prepared both mentally and physically. This is just a blue dungeon, meaning most of the monsters inside, except the dungeon boss will be of rank C at most thus dealing with them won't be a problem." Ricardo, the party leader roared at the top of his lungs, everyone nodded and checked their gears once again. after checking his gear Ricardo walked towards Arnold. "Here take this, it's a video device which sends the video feed to the guild's server. And good luck for your first dungeon trip as a warrior."
"Thanks." Arnold took the small button like device and pinned it on his chest. As Ricardo had explained, this device was used to record an individual's POV (Point Of View) inside the dungeon, this is how if a guild's member discovers something, the guild would immediately inform the media houses about its discovery. Only warriors were given the device as it was quite expensive and who would want to see a porter's POV anyway.
After setting up everything they entered the dungeon.

Fighting to be Kind in a Cultivation World
Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect. Brief Synopsis:American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities. The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series. Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know. I want to do this the right way. P.S. *Nudge, nudge* If you are looking for a sneak peek of up to 16 chapters ahead, check out my Patreon. :D
