Both the siblings awoke rather early because of Galvin yelling that it was Breakfast time. Naturally, they thought that breakfast at 7 was rather unusual but they soon found that it was the norm at the Bear Shack. Drowsily and reluctantly, they showered and got ready for their breakfast.

When they reached the table, they were greeted by Galvin's grinning face. Their table had been already laid out for the. David could not believe his eyes when he saw the feast laid out for them. David loved the fact that it was mainly concentrated on protein. Alice was a bit disappointed with the meal as she thought it was a bit lacking in balance. David grinned at Galvin and started to dig into his food.

Smoked ham, Fried eggs, Bacon, a few loaves of bread and a whole pitcher of coffee had been set apart for them.

When Alice enquired about the heavy meal in front of her, Galvin merely laughed and said,

"Adventurers need their fill of energy". David nodded his head furiously in agreement. She could notice that her brother was already starting to warm up to the innkeeper. Alice had already that even though he had low stats for Int and Wis, his head was a beartrap when it came to battle. She remembered Octavius, the Imperial solier who had died trying to give her a chance to escape the clutches of the Kobold Lord. Although David appeared friendly with him, she had noticed that he was always thinking and reasoning on his own. One of the main reasons that she thought so was because of the fact that he had not bothered to invite the soldier to his party. She too thought it was pretty obvious that a lone soldier would be found so far out in the woods so far away from his kingdom. But still, she realized that it was okay to start trusting people other than David. David too seemed to have arrived at this conclusion too. Him opening up to Galvin was a simple sign of this.

Soon after breakfast, David and his sister were slowly making his way towards the Adventuring guild as they had planned . David paused for a while. We are going adventuring again and we might as well pick up some armor and supplies while we 're in town. David sighed and looked through his wallet. They had close to 35 silvers on them at the moment. If my hunch is right, this is a RPG element based world, so they may have some of those... He thought.

After asking directions to a nearby villager, the duo made their way towards the Armory.

"Got any protective gear within 5 silver?" piped David.

"Depends kiddo. What do you do?"replied the shopkeeper who had introduced himself as Larme.

"Well I handle long distance fighting" he said, pointing to his bow and quiver, ".. and my sister handles the close combat."

he continued.

"Shouldn't it be the other way around ? Well. Whatever" snorted Larme.

David winced and Alice gave him a look of sympathy.

"How about this huh? Its a Wolfhide ranger armor. Only 3 silvers, and for the missy, I have some chainmail for 4 silvers.How about you take a look at them eh? " The athletic shopkeeper grinned.

David used the Observe skill on both the sets of equipment before him.

David looked up at Larme with a satisfied expression and concluded the deal. Later, while donning the Wolfhide set, David noticed that his Status window had been updated.

David just gaped at his updated status window and thought to himself What in fucking hell just happened? Where did these stats come from?.

He confirmed similar changes with Alice's Status window.

After leaving the shop, David instructed Alice to go to the guild and start up the registration process while he went to stock up on arrows.

He had bought a set of 70 iron arrows from Larme for about 1 silver, but David had other plans. He made his way to to Smithy to try his hand at smithing. Soon, after about half an hour of perspiration, he had finally aqquired it.

New Skill Obtained

Blacksmithing (Active, Beginner Lv 1)

You can now start making your own weapons. Classes of weapons usable increases with skill level.

Happy with finally having aqquired the skill, he could finally start making arrows on his own provided he had the ores.

He cheerfully made his way towards the Adventures Guild.

The Guild was a rather big place, about 3 stories high and probably the tallest building in the locality. He took a deep breath and stepped into the guild hall. It was huge, comparably, the size of a mall parking lot. The interiors were hustling with people. With the corner of his eye, he glimpsed his sister waving at him.

As he moved closer, he saw that his sister was talking to two other women, One of them being a receptioninst and the other being an unfamiliar face. He neared the counter and the fair faced receptionist with deep blue hair turned her attention towards him.

"Ah. You must be Master David. Pleased to make your aqquaintence. i am called Erin and I am one of the receptionists in the Guild. Please sign here and you can complete your registration" Erin smiled pleasantly while thrusting a paper toward him. He signed the sheet and was presented a copper colored chain. He looked around wihile putting the chain around his neck. he was then presented with a copper colored Guild Card. the receptionist then went on to explain the ranking system in the Guild.

Copper

He was at the lowest rung, a Copper class. The number of Adamantim and Rune classes, it seems were pretty low. There were only 10 in the Adamantium rank and only 3 in the Rune rank. All players above Platinum recieved attention wherever they went.

Currently Alice had picked out a copper rank mission for them.

It was a simple mission which only required them to kill around 15 goblins which had been sighted at the outskirts of the village.

"Excuse me.. umm..." a voice suddenly entered his thoughts.

He looked towards the source of the voice. It was the red haired woman who was standing next to Alice.

"Ah!. " Alice suddenly said slapping her forehead in shame. She looked at me with a small sheepish smile and said,

"umm, this is Arianne. She's a Battle cleric. She'll be coming along with us since we don't have any healing skills. "

Arianne turned towards me with a smile and said" Pleased to make your aqquaintance David, I am Arianne, a battle cleric and a copper rank like you. it seems I will be in your favor for a while "
