After getting and walking to the quest board, I look and realize that the board is divided into sections, according to your adventurer rank, you could accept quests that where one rank above yours if you where in a party, otherwise you where restricted to your own rank and lower, to rank up you need to complete 10 quests of your own rank and then you would need to undergo a 'Trial', in order to be officially accepted into the next rank.
After glancing at my card for a moment, the card read-
================================
Official Adventurers Card Under The A.g
(Adventurers Guild)
Adventurer Name : Merlin Void
Rank : Nickel ———————————————
———————————————
================================
After realizing I was the lowest rank possible, I decide that my current goal was achieve a higher rank, something high enough as to where I'll easily be able to cover my living expenses before thinking about what to do next in order to become a strong mage
After looking through all the quests currently available to me, I decided that I would do an herb gathering quest, this herb was easy to find on the exact mountain I was transported into this world on.
Not only would I be looking for the herb(named willow grass, it was bluish in coloration, with a faded white color on the top) I would also be hunting for gray wolves to increase my level.
It was easy to spot, and it was known to grow in patches near cave entrances.
The only problem is that caves where often home to groups of wolves
So not only would I get the money for completing the quest, I would also sell all of the wolf pelt I have, I would also gain atleast one level from all the hunting.
'As for the meat I would get from the wolves, I'll keep it for when I need to lure something in in the future, or when I just need something to eat.
And after finishing enough quests I would go and clear a dungeon a couple times to heighten my level and make some earnings back.
And so I had a plan, Even if it was very basic, atleast I know what I'm going to be doing for a little bit, and now, I just need to start acting out those plans, hopefully everything goes as smoothly as I've planned…
'First let's go and apply for the willow grass quest(collect 25 willow grass stems)'
After picking up the quest sheet, I walk over to the quest acception desk and say-
"Hello, I want to accept this quest"
"Of course, all I need is your adventurers card and the quest sheet" replies the burly man on the other side of the desk.
"Sure, one second"
After pulling my adventurers card out of my pocket, I hand him the quest sheet, after the brief interaction he begins to authenticate everything
After stamping the back of the quest sheet he gives me my adventurers card and says-
"The quest has been authenticated and you have now registered the quest to collect 25 willow grass within a time limit of 3 days, good luck adventurer!"
And after that, I take my leave and start to head towards the shopping district I saw earlier as I was in desperate need of some spare rations for the journey
'I need to remember, I only have 10 gold coins, I can't blow it all on unneeded equipment, but that being said, I do need food, so it's a necessary purchase.
After walking back for a few minutes, I finally find that shopping district, after looking around at a couple of the stalls, the average cost for a single meal is about 10 silver or .1 gold, after a little bit of deliberating, I decide that I'll buy 10 meals and 5 water pouches, normally that would be a hassle to carry around, but since I have the system's inventory function its no big deal.
'In total this costs 2 gold, but it should be enough to keep me going for the rest of the week and then some'
After looking around the stalls for a bit more, I leave and start to head towards the gate of the city that I entered from.
After getting slightly lost for a couple minutes, I eventually managed to make my way to the exit, after waiting in line for about a minute my turn comes eventually, then the guard turns to me and says-
"Hello there, can I have your identification card"
After he asks for my identification card, I freak out for a moment after realizing that my adventurers card in in my inventory, and if I take it out now, I'll draw too much attention.
After a moment of panic, I have a sudden idea.
I reach into my pocket, open my inventory, and now my inventory is concealed by my pocket, Now I pull my adventurers card out of my 'pocket' and hand it to the guard infront of me.
(That's a pretty good tactic for when I need to take something out of my inventory infront of other people, I should try and build the habit of using that strategy more often, so that I can comfortably use my inventory infront of other people)
After the guard takes about a minute to check the authenticity of my card, he hands it back and says-
"Alright thank you for waiting, here's your card and safe travels young man"
After he hands me my card, give him a respectful smile, wish him a good day and begin the walk to spawn mountain…
'This is probably going to take a while, if I keep going at this speed, I might not make it there before nightfall'
'Maybe I should use flash, it will make me 20% faster, but even then, I still won't make it in time if I'm walking, it looks like my only option if I want to be able to come back this gate by nightfall and still have time to find a good in or tavern to sleep in is it sprint while using flash, the only reason I didn't want to have to do this is because I wanted to save mana and and energy for when I'm fighting the wolves, but oh well'
After thinking about it for a while, I decide to run and use flash at the same time I order to save time
And with that, I began my sprint to the mountain…
