《Ritz Aven : Can I live normally?[Hiatus]》Ch. 2: Being an adventurer?
Advertisement
Still nothing...I wonder where this story is going? Where is the romance that I promised?
Ah, what a great morning, I don’t have any problems in this world, and a cute creature is currently sleeping beside me. Anyways, I really want to see the world. It’s not that I hate it here, I just want to travel. A vast world that I haven’t explored, new things waiting to be seen by me, I am so excited to travel around the world. I fixed my hair, checked my belongings, and went down stairs, of course while still hugging my stuffed toy.
“...Did you just think of something rude about me?”(Pooch)
“Eh? No, why would say something bad to my cute little stuffed toy?”(Shera)
“I am not a toy!”(Pooch)
We went downstairs, and asked the chief a few more things. This time I asked about the world, how big it is, what kind of things I will see, and if there are any recent events that I have to be wary of, like wars of different races. This world is currently known as Ritz Aven, and there are 7 major continents in this world. I am currently at the smallest and most Isolated continent, Zeirberg. I didn’t really got the exact information about the world’s size, but it should be safe to say it is as big as earth...maybe? Anyways, the other continents are not that friendly but there isn’t any big war happening around the world.
I tried to get more information concerning majins, does a lot of people know about majins?...I mean it is kinda hard to move if everyone sees me as a sacred entity, not that I hate it, but I want to live normally. Majins normally hide their existence, and only appear once every 50 years. As of now, aside from me, there are 2 more majins known to have appeared. Not many know about our existence outside of this continent except for the leaders of each continent. Since majins are known for their language, maybe I should learn other language before starting my travel.
Am I forgetting something?...Ah, I’ll just deal with it when time comes.
“Is there a universal language I could learn? Something I could use when I travel around the world.”(Shera)
“There is one, should I get a few tutors for you?”(Chief)
“Yes please”(Shera)
With this I can hide the fact that I am a majin. I am a genius, Hahahahahaha.
___
My days went by without anything big happening, aside from sightseeing and learning the Ritz language, there isn’t really anything worth mention...well, Pooch’s cuteness is something I can mention, I guess. I wake up in the morning, ask the chief a few things, walk around the city, learn the language, and sleep...yeah I don’t eat that much, cause I don’t need to.
For races, I have seen 5 types of races in this city while I was walking around. Majority of the population are of the Talar race, the Chief is also from the said race. Talar are generally the same as humans except for their height, Talar’s average height is at 6ft, quite tall right? By the way I am 160cm tall...just an estimate not the exact. Talar’s also have darker skin, and a scales on their backs, it is said the a few Talars could evolve their scales into wings, although they still don’t have a solid knowledge about that.
The second one are the Gairns, the have an average height of 165, and are naturally wider then the other races. They have reddish skin, and one horn the extends from their forhead. The are best when it comes to physical abilities, the guards of the city are Gairns by the way.

The third are the Vallars, I also call them birdman...cause they have wings, I am really good at naming. Anyways, Vallars the exact copy of humans, except for the gigantic wings on their back. The excel at air combat...for obvious reasons, they are also known to be good with directions. A group of caravans usually has 2-3 people of the Vallar race as their guide.
The fourth...this is where it starts to deviate from humanity, not that there are humans in t his world anyways. Palans are gigantic lizards that has the same body as a human...or not, their body is covered with thick scales, and their body varies from light red to dark brown in color. Their body is naturally bigger, about 7-8ft. Despite their appearance, it is said that they are good at handicraft, my clothes were made by the Palans...is it a good time to say, don’t judge the book by it’s cover?
Lastly there are the Herans, they have are small, and usually move in groups. They are about 140-150cm tall, and have tails...not like mine. Their tales are as long as their whole body, which they use as a third arm. Again, despite their looks, they are good at hand to hand combat. To compensate the small height, they use their tails naturally as a third arm to fight. They are also a lot of them that are good with creating weapons, I just heard it I am not sure.
The demon race or also called as the Leins are not in this city, and the Chief also told me that there are none in the continent. There is also the possibility of other races in the other continents, the races that the chief knows are only those that he heard and saw in this continent.
Everything I just said are just the things I heard, observed, and opinions. I don’t really know much about the other races, the only one I am close to is Pooch.

It has been a few weeks since I stayed in this city, or to be precise, stayed at the chief’s house. I can speak the ritz language, but only to a certain extent. I know the basic words for speaking, but I still don’t know deep words. I still don’t know how to write though, but speaking should be enough. A group of caravans will be here tomorrow, and the chief says he will help me get join the group and travel to Ballian city. I have also told him to keep the fact that I am a majin, a secret.
I am currently going to the adventurer’s guild, the chief said that if i join it, I won’t have any money problem. The adventurer’s guild is a few blocks away from the chief’s house. It was big, the adventurer’s guild is big, it has 4 floors and each could house a thousand people. As I entered, tables could be seen around, and a few rooms are at the side. There were many people inside, and each and everyone of them reeks...did I go into the wrong building? Is this a gathering of people that doesn’t know the word bath?
I went out of the building, and looked at the sign...Ah, I forgot I don’t know how to read. I should just go back to the chief’s house and ask him to guide me. Before walking away, a man blocked my path.
“Is there something that you need majin-sama?”(Man)
This guy look normal, unlike those people from before, this guy smells...normal, wait...did I just...

“Is there something that you needed in the adventurer’s guild?”(Man)
“T...this is the adventurer’s guild?”(Shera)
“Yes, is there something that you needed? I could help you, are there any request that you wanted to make?”(Man)
“No, I wanted to join...”(Shera)
“...If it’s that, then let’s come in together. I’ll guide you to the counter.” The man clung to my shoulders and dragged me inside the building.
Ah...I can’t stand this...can’t they just all wash themselves before getting inside? It doesn’t seem that they are wary of their own smell...by the way, I am currently holding Pooch, and Pooch is holding his nose. I acted like it doesn’t affect me, the people noticed me and started to wave their hands, I also waved my hand in return. Seeing their smiles when I waved, I slowly forgot about the smell...it is still bad though.
The man dragged me in front of the counter, and went back to one of the tables.
“M...majin-sama, what could I do for you?”(Man at the counter)
The man was from the Heran race, he had a short brown hair, and a pair of plain brown eyes. He didn’t look muscular nor athletic, so I guess this is his main forte.
“I would like to join the adventurer’s guild”(Shera)
“Ah...is that so, um...are you really gonna join?”(Man at the counter)
“I just said I would join right?”(Shera)
“A...sorry, that would be 10 copper coins for the license plate, and 50 more copper coins if you want to be registered in every guild in this continent”(Man at the counter)
I took out a gold coin which I got from the chief and gave it to the man at the counter. His eyes widened, and looked at me.
“M...majin-sama t...this is”(Man at the counter)
“Register me to every guild around the world, that should be enough right?”(Shera)
I actually don’t know the value of money in this world except for the basic concept.
1 silver coin is equal to 100 copper coins
1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins
1 platinum coin is equal to 100 gold coins
1 reis coin is equal to 100 platinum coins
That is all that I know, actually, I don’t know what a reis coin is...anyways, I still have 9 more gold coins in my bag.
“O...ok, that would be 50 silver coins...”(Man at the counter)
“Keep the change”(Shera)
“Ah, thank you majin-sama.........you we will have to check your stats, and put them on the license card. Don’t worry, only your current level and rank will be shown on the card”(Man at the counter)
“Ok, so what do I have to do?”(Shera)
“Wait a second majin-sama” The man went to the door behind him, and after a while he came back with another person. The new person guided me to another room, inside, I could see 10 floating orbs. How do they do this? This is a lot more advance than our technology...
“Majin-sama, please go in front of any orb and put both of your hands while holding this card” The man gave me a wooden card.
I followed his instructions, and went to one of the orbs. I didn’t really understand the part with both hands while holding the card, so I just held it with both hands, and tapped it on the orb. I glanced to the man, to see his reaction, and he smiled back to me. Good, looks like I am doing it right. Pooch is currently sitting on the floor on the same room, while waiting for me.
A screen suddenly appeared in front of me, showing my stats, I could surprisingly read it...it’s in english letters...
NameShera Nillin

My race is ultima majin, then I am 5 months old, great. I also have 4 titles, I could understand the first 2 but when did I walk on the rift? And when did I become a goddess? For class...well, I don’t really have a fighting style, so free lance seems suitable. For my stats...everything looks normal except for my vitality...WAIT MAGIC? THERE IS MAGIC IN THIS WORLD?
*snap*
HAHAHAHAHAHA GREAT, OF COURSE I WON’T BE TRANSFERRED WITH A NORMAL BODY.
Her body emitted an intimidating aura, which made Pooch and the man flinch.
“W...what is it majin-sama? Is the orb not to your liking? Maybe it’s broken, please try again on the other orbs, please forgive us”(Man)
“fuuuuuuuuuuu” I exhaled, and relaxed my body.
“No, I just remembered something unpleasant. It’s not your fault...here” I gave the card to the man.
“L...level 54?”(Man)
“Is it bad?”(Shera)
“N...no, I just thought you would be on the upper 300”(Man)
“Oh, so I am weak”(Shera)
“N...no, it’s not that. Maybe the orb was broken, you could try again”(Man)
“No, it’s ok. So what do I have to do next?”(Shera)
“You can wait on one of the rooms, we won’t charge you so please feel free to use it”(Man)
___
I went to a room while holding Pooch, I sat on the chair tried to relax. An hour later, someone knocked on the door. I stood up and opened it, the man from before gave me a silver plate, My name, level and rank could be seen in front of my card...that’s what he said, I am not really sure since I can’t read. The back of the card was clean, the man said that it will be used when I form a part. It could be used to detect a missing party member.
I went out of the room, and started walking out of the guild. Seeing the card in my hand, different people tried to make me join their party. I politely declined their offer, and went back to the chief’s house...with pooch.
It was currently dark outside, probably 6:30 or 7:00. I tried to use a shortcut, but a group of people blocked my path. We were currently in an isolated street, or to be precise, I don’t see anyone besides them.
“Hi there, miss level 54 majin”(Man 1)
“Hahahaha this is the first time I have heard a majin under a level of 300”(Man 2)
“...Is there something that you want from me?”(Shera)
“Yup, we want you. We will play with you for a while, and after taming you, we will sell you off to a noble.”(Man 1)
“Oh, I see”(Shera)
So there are also people like this, it seems there are also pieces of trash in this world. And just when I thought I wouldn’t have any problems.
“Do you know what my pet is?” I raised pooch.
“No, is that the baby of a monster? Is taking care of monsters, the habit of a majin?”(Man 1)
“I see, so you didn’t know”(Shera)
“Is it ok to kill them?”(Pooch)
“Sure, this world doesn’t need trash”(Shera)
Pooch reverted back to his Hellion Baran form and started killing them.
“S...so it was you body guard”(Man 5)
“Stop speaking nonsense, I am sure she is just hiding her true strength.”(Pooch)
No...I am weaker than you, I don’t know why you are thinking the opposite but...I guess this is fine, I could use his help until I get stronger. It is his fault for thinking that I am stronger.
The noise of the battle was heard, and people came running to the place I am at. Seeing the corpses of 7 people and I who didn’t have a single stain while holding pooch, who was now back to his cute form. People knelt, and begged for forgiveness. I went back to the chief’s house, and went to my room.
The next day, I heard from the chief that the 7 people pooch killed, were high ranking members of the black swords, a crime organizations that has been tormenting the continent for a long time. The chief thanked me for killing those trash, and knelt, to beg for forgiveness. It was his mistake to let a majin get involved with such people.
“It’s ok, it is not your fault. Please stand, you already did a lot for me, and I am thankful for that. Those guys targeted me, and I am sure even you wouldn’t expect that, so please don’t blame yourself.” I smiled at him to show that I really meant what I said.
“M...majin-sama” The chief stood up while looking at me with respect. Tears started to flow down his cheeks, and seemed like he is looking at a benevolent goddess.
That triggered the Shera Religion, which will gain more and more followers until it becomes the main religion of all continents...well that is still a hundred years in the future.
__
At noon, the caravan entered the city. The chief went to the head of the caravan and introduced me as kind demon that helped the city cleanse the oasis. After observing me for a bit, the head of the caravan happily accepted me. I knew he wouldn’t be able to resist pooch’s cuteness. After delivering the supplies the caravan started to move out of the city, the whole city, waved at me as the caravan made it’s way to Ballian city. There are currently 14 caravans which are guarded by 40 heavily armored soldiers. There are 5 Vallars flying above the caravan.
“So missy, how did you end up in Hellion city? I haven’t heard about any Leins coming to this continent.” A Gairn soldier was currently inside a caravan with me, he is here to look after me.
“I don’t know, I just woke up in the middle of the desert.”(Shera)
This is bad, I don’t know what to say...
“Ah, so you suddenly woke up in the middle of the desert...I am pretty sure even a Lein will die like that”(Gairn Soldier)
“...” I stared at him with an irritated expression.
“Hahaha, forget about that. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to tell me, you helped the city and that is enough to earn my trust”(Gairn Soldier)
“Then why did you ask me?”(Shera)
“Nothing, I just didn’t know how to start a conversation with a beautiful lady hahahaha”(Gairn Soldier)
What an irritating man...
“Pooch eat him”(Shera)
“Master, please don’t let anger control you”(Pooch)
“What this little thing can talk?”(Gairn Soldier)
“...on the second thought. Ok, I’ll eat him”(Pooch)
“W...wait, Im sorry”(Gairn Soldier)
I threw him out of the caravan, Pooch jumped out and reverted back to his true form. The others stopped moving and focused their eyes on the colossal monster in front of them.
“Sorry sorry...I won’t do it again”(Gairn Soldier)
Pooch didn’t listen and tried to eat the soldier, before anything could happen, I appeared between them.
“Stop”(Shera)
“...but he called me little”(Pooch)
“Don’t let anger control you”(Shera)
“...”(Gairn Soldier & Pooch)
After that the caravan continued moving, this time, they treated Shera carefully. They feared the power of the Hellion Baran, and the beautiful lady that easily stopped it from its tracks.
