Chapter 8 - Chapter 7: First Quest

Zack led Zain to the inside. He gave Zain his adventure card and gold template. 

Zain looked at the adventures card and thought 'This looked like an ID Card' 

Zack saw Zain's confused face and began to explain what the adventures card is used for. 

The adventures card can let you enter any kingdom. The S-Rank card can even let an adventure receive a discount on some certain goods, it except them from pay taxes and they can keep 90% of the rewards. 

It works like this: 

S-Rank adventurers keep 90% of the rewards while 10% goes to the Guild. 

A-Rank adventurers keep 85% of the rewards while 15% goes to the Guild.

B-Rank adventures keep 75% of the rewards while 25% goes to the Guild.

C-Rank adventurers and below keep 60% of the rewards while 40% goes to the Guild. That's why most C-Rank adventurers for a group of 3 because the whole team becomes B-Rank. 

Most Adventures form a group to bypass a system. 

After Zack finished explaining, Zain was about to leave when he sense someone was about to enter the guild in a rush. 

"Hel...help...help. Can someone please help? My friends need help."

The adventure was out of breath when she barged in, it looks like she ran till she reached the guild. 

Zain thought to himself 'Is my life being written by someone or is fate messing with me? There's no way this is a coincidence.'

The adventurer pleaded inside the guild but no adventurer took her seriously. 

Zain thought he should check her out.

'Wait a minute, I thought ranks start at E. What's wrong?'

Zain was confused and decided to try something. He looked at the Guildmaster.

NAME: Zack

AGE: 35

RACE: Human

RANK: C-Rank 

JOB: Guildmaster 

ASSESSMENT: WEAK 

'Oh, it's not about the Guild rank. Wait, is it comparing everyone to me at my peak? Then the guildmaster is strong if he's C-Rank, most everyone here appears as F-Rank except that clerk.'

"Zack, can I ask you something?"

Zack was confused and suprise at Zain.

"Yes, what do you wanna ask."

"Can you tell me about that clerk?"

"Oh, you mean Sarah. If you're asking what rank she is then she's B-Rank or do you wanna know me?"

"B-Rank? That's B-Rank. Nah, I Just wanted to know her rank."

AGE: 21

RANK: D-Rank 

JOB: Clerk

ASSESSMENT: WEAK

'Last name huh. Ashford... I've read about that name.' 

"Please… help my friends. I don't have anything left. Take all my money.... just… please."

Zain turned towards Maera with his hands in his pocket. 

"Okay. I'll help you." 

"Really... You will."

"Yeah, I will. Just put a quest with no rewards on the reception and I'll take the quest."

"Lucas, you've got at least put on 20 bronze coins for the quest. 20 bronze coins is charged for the quest issues." Zack said as he looked at Zain. 

Zain thought for a while before he said. 

"Ahh. Just pay 20 bronze coins and let the rewards be $0. That solves everything. 

Zack was confused by how Zain thought which didn't violate anything. Zain waited for the quest to be finished and after the quest was finished, Zain took on the quest. 

He looked at Maera to ask her.

"Hey, how many of them needs help? What happened"

"Huh... There are 3 of them. The bandits came out of nowhere when we were picking herbs. I managed to escape to ask for help when they caught them." 

"Okay, time to check it out." 

*INSIGHT FORCE*

The perception field spread all around the area.

It spread around 100 km radius. Zain heard all the conversations, noises and all the unnecessary information. If Zain was normal, he'll probably be dead for taking all those information at once. 

Zain didn't know what he was looking for, so he cancelled his ability. 

"Excuse me, can you tell me where did the bandits appeared?"

"Oh... It was near the abounded dungeon. We need to hurry and rescue them." 

"Ohh, it's not that far. Are you ready?"

"Huh! Yes I'm ready. Can we please go mister?" 

Zain told Zack that they were about to leave. Zain wrapped Maera in his aura. It's his first time trying to teleport with someone. 

*TELEPORT* 

Everyone in the guild saw Zain and Maera teleport together. They all exclaimed in surprise. 

"Wait, they disappeared."

"He teleported dude."

"Oh, There's someone who can teleport at will."

"He didn't even chant a spell."

Zack was not that surprised but he was still surprised. 

"So he can TELEPORT. I'm not every depressed that I lost to him." Zack said.

Sarah's thoughts was elsewhere when she saw Zain teleport. Maybe he can help me. 

______

Zain and Maera appeared near the abandoned dungeon.

"Where are we? How did we get here? Did you do it?"

Zain sensed his surroundings and spotted living beings.

"I can senses them. There are 39 people, 12 of them are in captured and the rest are all bandits."

After Zain said that, Maera began to worry and looked at Zain as if to say something.

"Is my friends among them?"

Zain called see that she was scared but continue to say.

"I don't know your friends but I could say, all the captured are all females. It looks like they killed all the men. If your friends were men then they're all dead."

Zain said bluntly to Maera and Maera released a sense of relief.

"No, they're all girls."

Zain began to walk towards the abounded dungeon with his hands on his pockets. He stopped and gestured Maera with his head of she's coming or not.

Maera looked conflicted but still went with Zain.

The bandits were sitting around the cave and checking their loots. They laughed as they drink booze.

They all looked relaxed.

They took about selling all the girls to slavery but felt bad that they could rape them because it'll lower the price.

They took about how they raped that woman in front of her husband and how they raped all the woman in that village. They talked about how they raped all the married womens, adult womens and widows. They talked about how they killed all the elderly no matter the gender.

They captured the men and sold all of them to slave but most were killed.

Maera and Zain appeared in front of them. Maera hid behind Zain.

"Oh, what a nice talk you're having?" Zain said to them with his hands on his pocket.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

All the bandits began to point their weapons at Zain.

"Relax. I don't mean to frighten you all. So who here has a reward on their heads? I'm just here to talk first."

"I asked WHO YOU ARE?Do you know who is our boss? He has 10 Gold bounty on his head. If you don't wanna die tell us WHO YOU ARE before you die."

Zain thought 'How does that not make anysense but sounds badass? I gotta use that line.'

"Oh, 10 gold rewards. That's a lot of money for someone like you."

"Someone like me you say? What the hell do you mean?"

The boss stood at the centre of the bandits and looked at Zain with fierce eyes.

"WEAK."

*REGAL FORCE*

All the bandits fell to the ground including the boss.

Maera was confused of what happened. Zain entered the cave and Maera followed him.

The spotted all capture females in a locked room or space since its a cave.

They all appeared scared and afraid. There second they spotted Maera following the man, they stopped being afraid but still scared.

The friends of Maera screamed at Maera.

"MAERA! MAERA! You called for help?"

Maera nodded and looked at Zain. Zain removed his hands on his pockets and destroyed the bars, barehanded.

He just yanked the iron bars door with one hand. Everyone got out of the cage one by one. The followed Zain outside of cage one by one.

The minute they got outside, they saw the bodies of the bandits lying down.

The youngest of the females was 14 years and the oldest was 21 years. It looks like most of them were picking herbs before they got captured. All of them live in the kingdom at commoner side.

Zain thought that it's weird that he never knew the kingdom's name till now.

The kingdom is called The Kingdom of Ravenscar.

'It sounds like if a Viking saw a raven with a scar and decided to name it.' Zain thought to himself.

Zain decided to wrapped everyone with his aura and the boss of the bandits since he had a reward on his head. He decided to his a mark on one of the bandits.

*TELEPORT*

Some bandits started to snore.
