After completing the stone ritual and accepting his rank as a novice, Daniel was invited by the receptionist to fill out an information sheet. The hall was still lively, but he found a quiet corner, carefully placing the parchment on the polished wooden counter. He filled in his details one by one: his name, and for the last field, his age: 16 years old.
The receptionist took the sheet with a kind smile. "Thank you. Please wait a moment while I prepare your adventurer card."
Daniel sat down, his gaze fixed on the central fire of the guild. He remained calm, his body relaxed, letting his thoughts wander. He recalled his battles in the forest, his powers awakening, and thought: Even a beginner can become powerful over time… all it takes is perseverance.
Then his mind drifted toward a wilder dream: he had always imagined encountering extraordinary beings in this world—elves with luminous eyes, mysterious vampires, fascinating demons, or even hybrids between dragons and humans. And in a mischievous spark of thought, he said to himself: Yes, I want to build my harem, to have women of all kinds by my side, strong, beautiful, unique… and one day, a large house where I can live according to my dreams.
Yet, he shook his head slightly, bringing his thoughts back to the present moment. Everything comes in its time. First, I must progress, earn money, learn to fight… then the companions will come. He took a deep breath, his gaze steady and calm, letting his determination strengthen.
At that moment, another receptionist approached and handed him a card. "Here is your adventurer card, young man. It shows your name, your age, and your rank. Use it wisely."
Daniel took the card and examined it: his name was written, his age, 16 years old, and his rank, still low, but official. A faint smile crossed his lips. This might be the beginning of a long journey, but he already felt the thrill of a life that was finally beginning.
He carefully placed the card in his pocket, ready to rise and embark on his first mission. The world stretched out before him, full of promises, adventures, and extraordinary encounters.
