《BJ Archmage》Chapter 13

“Damn, it’s a monster that eats money, it’s a damn monster! That damn NPC! “
Midas sent a string of curses towards Hayden under his breath and headed back towards him.
There was however, no stumbling block created by the Explorer’s Guild this time.
Yol, who managed NPC Hayden, kept a safe distance from him to not get involved in Midas’ issues.
‘There’s nothing good about getting tied up with a matter like that. I should just ignore it. ‘
He no longer wanted to be connected with the trouble called Midas.
“How much money is being eaten by this quest? I’d rather buy a top-tier item with this money!”
Midas kept cursing and Yol closed his eyes and turned away, as if he had nothing to do with this.
After confirming the appearance of Yol, Midas’s face became very serious as he narrowed the distance to Hayden.
“I brought it.”
Between those serious expressions, he spoke in a small voice.
“Impressive. To actually be able to bring this.”
Hayden accepted it from Midas’ words.
And immediately accepted the quest material.
“Thanks to you, my work has become easier.”
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[Hayden shows interest in you.]
And he gave the reward.
It was a sweet reward.
However, Midas did not think about the sweetness.
Rather, he focused on the conversation with NPC Haydn.
“Can you get me one more thing?”
Soon after the question came out of NPC Hyden’s mouth, Midas replied as if he had waited.
“Yes.”
After a brief answer, a notification was heard in Midas’s ear, and the quest window appeared.
-Quest Rank: Unique
-Quest Rank: Unique
-Quest level: Level 10 or below
-Quest Content: Special ingredients are needed to make medicine that Hayden learned from his Master. Find a tree that has been struck by lightning and bring it with you.
-Quest reward: Medicine made from a lightning-struck tree, experience, and title ‘Hyden’s Helper’
A tree struck by lightning.
‘Ah.’
The moment he saw the word, Midas discarded dozens of scenarios he had in mind.
‘It is the best scenario.’
And he left only one of the best scenarios he thought of.
Midas turned away from Hayden and asked Yo,.
“Does Hayden only need expensive things to complete his quests? Can’t he have quests with lower requirements?”
In response, Yoll replied in a business tone.
“Information on quests is provided only to those who have purchased the pass. Everything that happens to those who have not purchased the pass is at their own risk. “
And from the tone of his unwillingness to no longer relate to a man named Midas, Midas filled his face with discontent.
It was like a balloon that was about to burst.
“No, no even if that is the… …. “
Soon after the moment of dissatisfaction, Midas shook his head and shook his head.
“Eugh, what could be wrong with your manager? The problem is that this is a garbage game. “
With a long sigh, Midas shook his head and said, looking at Yol.
“You are suffering because of me. I apologize.”
Only then did Yol loosen up a little.
“No.”
First, you don’t have to do something toward your opponent with your head down.
“Please do your best.”
With that in mind, when Midas left NPC Hayden’s house, Yoll chuckled.
‘Because it’s not even worth doing so.’
It was a moment when Yol just accepted the situation to be what it looked like.
7.
‘I can’t do this kind of thing.’

After greeting Yol and coming out of NPC Hyden’s house, Midas went straight into an alley.
Only after confirming that no one was around him did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“Ugh.”
Midas’ expression was tense.
‘Those fucking Explorer’s Guild.’
Honestly, Midas’ acting was overkill for a player newly starting God Wars.
The Explorer’s Guild is certainly great.
Additionally, Midas’ response was certainly overkill for the average player too.
But it couldn’t be helped.
‘I remember the old days.’
Midas, he saw with his own eyes how the Explorer’s guild went through this business.
Initially, Explorer’s Guild did not use NPC quests as a business item in the first place.
Logically speaking, suddenly a guild came out, and from now on, NPCs will be theirs.
You won’t go, ‘Oh is that so, let’s fight!’ and such.
There were not many people who were welcome to this fact at first.
‘There could not be a genocide like that genocide.’
The Explorer’s Guild response for those who revolt was not a war but a massacre.
‘Because all ten guilds held hands together.’
Also, the massacre of the time was carried out by the Explorer’s Guild as well as all of the 10 guilds.
Exactly, at that time, they made a cartel and took advantage of it, so they could become the 10 Great Guilds of today.
Newly created guilds never achieved their absolute status overnight.
In any case, Midas went through it all from beginning to end.
A story that a player who had party played together until yesterday while playing God Wars was stamped on by a newly created guild and had quit the game.
He has seen countless amounts of such players.
He experienced a time when the most bloody violence in God Wars hit the peak.
‘Of course, shit holes are everywhere.’
In other words, Midas survived in that world for over five years without dying.
No matter how he rolled in the bottom, he still earned money from the exploitative world to feed his brother, nephew, and himself.
He didn’t have much, but he is very well versed in the way of survival in God Wars.
‘I just need to get out of the starting village.’
Moreover, even Explorer’s Guild could not dominate the whole world of God Wars.
Realistically, It wasn’t exactly worth it.
No matter whoever sees this, it is inefficient to attach managers to all NPCs.
In the case of the Starting Village, the Explorer’s Guild is strategically placed.
A place to impress beginners to follow the way of the Explorer’s Guild, a supervisor supervised all NPCs in the village.
In other words, the story changed when you left the village of the beginning.
‘When I get into the castle unit, you don’t have to act like a fool in front of the Explorer’s Guild.’
When the scale becomes a castle unit, it is impossible to take control of all NPCs even if the Explorer Guild is so great.
So they choose and focus on one.
Only a few NPCs giving really important quests were monitored and managed.
‘Moreover, God Wars’ scale is just way too insane.’
One couldn’t cover the entire scale of God Wars.
God of Wars was a world overflowing with undiscovered things.
‘Honestly, if it weren’t for that Legendary Quest, I would have never been in so much trouble like this.’
And to be honest, if this quest wasn’t related to the Legendary Quest, even if the Explorer’s Guild is troublesome it wouldn’t have become like this.
No, he wouldn’t have had to deal with the explorer guild in the first place.

He would have Ignored it, and just nurtured his character.
In other words, the beginning of this dog shit-life was because of a legendary quest that came with a dog.
‘Let’s see whether or not you’re so special, if not I’m going to eat you. ‘
Midas, who organized the plan in his mind, returned to the main subject.
“Quest Window.”
After activating the NPC Hayden’s Research in the quest window, I checked the contents of the quest once again.
‘Is there any hidden information?’
There wasn’t anything special.
‘Well yeah, of course, I won’t be able to see all the information.’
Midas was not disappointed with the fact.
‘It is also a miracle to come back here.’
It’s pretty hard to imagine just getting here in one day of gameplay right?
If you want something more in such a situation, you are just greedy.
‘Even God won’t help me that much.’
Midas is prepared, even though it would become difficult.
‘Where should I find a tree that was hit by a lightning bolt … …. ‘
With such determination, he looked at the Starting Village and the forest of monsters surrounding it.
‘Huh?’
Then something strange appeared in Midas’ eyes.
‘Why does the light come out over there?’
It was a miracle God gave him.
8.
“He- Hello.”
Yol frowned the moment he saw the player’s face greeting him.
‘Damn, why is he here again?’
Midas, this customer who had given Yol great trouble today, appeared.
“You must be finished with work today?”
“Uh, yes.”
It’s also at the happiest time of day for Yoll.
The happiness of the moment was taken away due to this man’s appearance.
“Anyway, what is it?”
In this type of situation Yol bluntly asked the question.
“To receive the quest rewards for the other quest. Damn it, I’ve already used my monthly salary for this. “
Midas’s answer to the question was mixed with dissatisfaction and irritation.
“Can I go in?”
And then the question.
The question was simply beyond question.
Yol’s role is to prevent or supervise players’ indiscriminate access to NPC Hayden.
But if he just let Midas go in, where Hayden is?
At least, even if you let him in, Yol needs to go in.
“Oh, yes. Go in. “
However, Yol left Midas alone.
‘I want to shift quickly.’
The fact that this is the time to go off work, and the fact that he is already seeing annoying ties with Midas today, the two facts were giving Yol enough of a headache to care about Hayden.
‘Thud!’
In the midst of Yol’s view, Midas entered Hayden’s house.
‘There is no human being who wants to work overtime happily.’
Not surprisingly, this was also the timing Midas was aiming for.
From the start, Midas knew about Yol’s work already.
In addition, this was not the first time that he had worked in this way.
‘The weakness of the Explorer’s Guild is that there is no overall manager to manage the NPC managers.’
The Explorer Guild’s manager is definitely a terrifying being.
However, after all, they are still human.
They just received a job with a salary without being monitored or managed.
If so, how faithful would they be?
In a world without CCTV, work cards, and smartphones?
Obviously, there’ll be more people who don’t follow the manual than those who do.
Of course, if you do it too much, they’ll cut you off, but it was inevitable that there would be a gap in their action.
‘Now, shall I finish?’
The gaps were the ones that Midas utilized to survive in a world filled with tigers.
“I brought what you asked for.”
Midas talked to Hayden, and Hayden nodded with surprise.
“To actually be able to bring it. Very Impressive! “
Then, a notification was heard.
“Hoho, to think I would be able to make my Master’s medicine. Wait a moment. “
With the notification, NPC Hyden started making something using a mortar and pestle.
Midas’ face looked at the sight and started to become serious.
‘If it gets too long, I’m screwed.’
Obviously, the time has been earned.
However, it wasn’t that long.
If Yol or a manager comes in on his behalf, trouble will happen.
‘Do it quickly, quickly.’
Without knowing how Midas was feeling, Hyden slowly made medicine using a medicine bowl.
How long has it been?
“It’s done. Take it. It will help you. “
At that moment, a notification was heard.
[Hyden’s Helper title has been achieved.]
[Hyden’s Helper title has been achieved.]
[A rune is paid as a reward.]
Upon hearing the announcement, Midas quickly opened the door and went out without looking back.
“Huh?”
Then another manager on behalf of Yol tried to catch the doorknob and seemed to have hardened.
The new manager asked Midas.
“Has the previous manager left?”
“Yes, he did?”
“Oh, is that so?”
The new manager shook his head.
“Should I bring him back for you?”
“No, it’s fine. I don’t know the name as well. Then, please work hard.”
When he asked him to work hard, the manager said with a lively smile.
“Yes, thank you for always using the Explorer’s Guild.”
As soon as he heard that, Midas smiled.
‘He didn’t suspect anything.’
He smiled and replied with a happy voice.
“Yes, I’ll use it often.”
‘Now, it’s finally over.’
After answering, Midas moved on to end the day.
9.
If you buy a lottery ticket, you will be excited when the lottery time comes even if you have no expectations.
And think.
What would you do if you win the lottery
‘Ah, how much will there be?’
Now Midas’ feelings were like that.
No, it wasn’t just at the level of waiting for the winner.
‘If it is an item, it won’t be worth it because of the level limitation, but since it’s a Legendary, I will receive the basic 10 million units, and maybe a skill card… … Oh yes.’
It was at the level you’ll win at least the second place, and pretty much going to the bank with a guaranteed lottery ticket.
‘Isn’t this so heart-pounding that I may be logged out because of a heart problem?’
Midas slowly took his step with that feeling.
*Creek… ….”
What stopped Midas from walking was the groan of a dying dog.
Instead of running away from Midas’ visit, the dog just laid there like a corpse.
‘It came.’
Midas’ gaze turned to the yellow question mark on the dog’s head.
At this moment, Midas no longer trembled.
Rather, he looked full of determination.
‘Yes, since I’m already here, come out with a skill card. Let’s pay some debt with the Legendary skill card. Let me also reverse my life.’
An expression full of hope.
‘Oh God, since you have helped me so far, I would like you to help me finish it once more. Please let me have the legendary golden card!’
I prayed to God with such an expression and took out the medicine I received from NPC Hayden from the inventory.
After that, the medicine was spread into the palm and then pushed out toward the nose of the dog which lay down on the ground.
“Arf?”
The dog in question titled it’s head and started sniffing Midas’ palm. It started wagging it’s tail in excitement, got up, and licked Midas’ hand clean.
At that moment, the question mark that floated on the dog’s head became an exclamation mark.
And a notification was heard.
[The Lost Wolf quest begins.]
[The Lost Wolf quest begins.]
[This is a legendary class quest.]
[You have achieved the Legendary Start title.]
[A rune is paid as a reward.]
[The god you serve pays attention to your achievements.]
[The War Dragon gives you a chance.]
Notifications constantly popped out and my ears became deaf.
However, I was not interested in that fact.
‘Is it an item? Is it a skill card?’
It’s just the rewards he gets from this Legendary Quest, and that was his only interest.
Notifications were heard in the ears of Midas.
[You achieved the title of Master of Shinsu.]
[You achieved the title of Master of Shinsu.]
[A rune is paid as a reward.]
‘Huh? Shinsu ‘
Shinsu.
Along with that, a word appeared on top of the Shinsu’s head.
‘But this isn’t a deal at all?’
(Sorry was the dry period for the last two months, exams were coming in fast and deadly for both me and the TL. Now that those are over, BJ Archmage will be back on a two chapters a week schedule. Days of the week might vary, but releases will be consistent. Sorry again for the break in releases.)

The Wild Touch
The world of Delmathar has many conflicts and plots that span over the whole world and even into the war torn oceans. That’s not even taking into account that the world is a candidate in the Realm wars… but that’s a story for another day. Instead we will follow the story of how a goddess’s botched attempt of using a weak earth soul to make powerful Grafter for her mother, ends up empowering an unsuspecting little boy. The boy who is called Nosal Brownwhisker, who happens to be a peaceful little buttonless-shirt loving little Capyban. And as the Brownwhisker family tries to juggle their everyday lives on their monster ranch and hiding little Nosal’s secret, more and more developments keep popping up in the village of Pancreedy that makes life more.. interesting. Author’s notes:This is my first fiction and I understand it will suck. Hopefully you will find it to be enjoyable enough to hang around. There’s not going to be any epic world-ending fights or any stuff like that, just some shenanigans generally with the story progressing very slowly as it changes from many viewpoints. The world of Delmathar may seem funky for now so I will promise a glossary every 15 chapters. The wild touch will be updated at least twice a week, with me having no backlog of chapters. So if I get mobbed at work or get sick I will let you know in my notes on a short chapter. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for the people who support me, give me encouragement and pointers.
