Stepping outside my small self-contain apartment and being almost blinded by the sun as my eyes saw the rays of lights;
I quickly covered my eyes and wondered how was sun so hot in the morning, thinking of it and how it would make my work stressful I slowly but energetically walked towards the guild.
Getting to the guild josh couldn't help but frown, it was filled with so many adventurers, tall, slim, short any type you can imagine and most were well equipped except for the beginners; himself was just a little average since he found it difficult to rank up at the moment, so he just did the beginners quest most times which didn't pay much but could last him a week or so.
Well hello josh; cat said.
Nice seeing you today you want to try your luck today on other ranks.
Nahh!! Am not sure today; just help me with one of the beginner's quest; said josh.
"Cat is the receptionist, I think just putting in a phrase you may understand, and she had really helped me a lot when I first registered as an adventurer, well I do think she does that with everyone; but for me mine felt special. And it's not what you are thinking"
Ok; said cat.
I will check right away just give me a sec.
Ok!!! What we have is just but a few,
"Gathering of essential herbs.
Taking down of slugwats"
And oh!!! What is this? thought cat.
This is new and it also ranked for beginners it kinda looked like a quest for Interdimates
Let me check it out; said josh.
There in the quest it stated that they are in need of a time user which will help them to solve a certain reminder in the situation,
It kinda looks fishy thought cat.
But the amount that josh saw was eye opening he couldn't believe it 300,000 waug coins!!!!!
That could last him three years, who was he kidding.
Has any other time users applied for this quest asked josh excitedly while maintaining his composure.
Nope! It just came in said cat.
Looking at the quest; he couldn't believe this was actually true. But since it's here and I would not blink my eyes and miss it, as I took the quest.
After sorting some stuff out at the guild, josh went towards the destination giving by the address in the quest.
Heading towards the destination which was located at Lynn village. A rural village with a little hint of urban styles.
Most people there where ancestral generations, they possess quotes of many lost thoughts and wisdom but their problem here was that the people here were kinda acting strange most times, having memory losses or you couldn't understand what they talk about which made many individual or people to stay away from the village or couldn't bring up more good points in case the LORDS wanted to improve their life style and which lead to the state it is.
Thinking about this josh couldn't help but feel agitated, adding to the increase in the temperature of the weather today and destination, josh was already feeling a headache but when he remember the reward he had no choice; because even though these people behave strange they keep to their word and that was one good thing about them.
(I do think josh is being somehow greedy I don't know or.....)
Locating the destination was not an easy task. josh had to pass through many routes looking at most signs, he couldn't ask anyone because of their nature; which would confuse him more after the first two incident he encountered

Josh: Hello sir please where is this address located at?
The man: huh!! What did you say?
Josh: I said please where is the address located at?
The man: oh you want to buy me some puff cream?
Josh: No!!! I said where is this address located at?
The man: No!!! I don't sell weaponry, if you want to get some go to shelferes"
Josh: (getting infuriated) No!!! Old man I said where is this address located at?
The man: huhhh!! Who are you calling old man? Am way younger than you, I have lived my lives like the lives of a nine fox tails.
Josh: (thought) so this old man heard me when I called him old man. Is this guy crazy?
The man: Now go and get me some puff cream I am very hungry now, and add more cream to the top.
Josh: (thought) what the hell is this guy thinking I was asking for directions not going to buy you some meal
Josh: ok mister.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(you should already guess the second conservation, you can put it as an old woman or man asking for help while he is asking for help making him look at the quest while doubting himself!!!!!)
Leaving the old man behind josh kept on looking, after almost like some hours (I think) josh was nearly exhausted he hadn't had breakfast and it was almost time for lunch.
Having searched all day at least it was getting towards noon, josh had to rest in a nearby standing stall which looked normal because there was a lady in the stall serving the adults and old people in there. so he thought let me rest here for a while before heading back to the guild to ask for directions.
So he strolled towards the stall feeling weak and hungry but he had to bring up a strong face, after all he was an adventurer. If he showed weakness how would he bring himself up when in doubt again.
Entering the stall he sat at the part which had little light and relaxed, although he was surprised that he saw someone like this maiden in this part; it was quite remarkable, he had been searching for the quest a whole day and he hadn't seen any young maiden as remarkable as the one in front of him. She wore a short net gown which looked like the English maiden clothing showing her soft but fair long legs, the gown was pink in color with a white collar and short sleeves which showed her fair but delicate hands. She had a smile towards anyone she served as she brought harmony to everyone she interacted with. It was astonishing. She had this light in her that made josh to have goose bumps and getting a little hot.
Wondering on these things he didn't know when the pretty girl walked towards him to attend to him.
Hello sir what may I offer you; said Xalin
Ohh sorry I was just thinking about something;
Emm I was thinking if you could help me with this address,
Showing her the address.
I had been searching all day but haven't made any progress; said josh
While explaining josh couldn't help but feast his eyes on this damsel in front of him, he felt helpless not knowing what was wrong with him he only felt like this towards his aunt but didn't take it that serious and he was feeling this part and it was having a strong impact on him.
Ohhhh!! You mean the shelferes"
Josh was shocked. Where had he heard that name; it sounds familiar, Thought josh
While in thought he kinda saw someone he had met before which looked familiar walking across the road, although it was a little dark but he could see the structure of the person but couldn't clearly see his face. While looking he thought he saw the person wink at him.
What is wrong with me, am I hallucinating because of hunger!!!! Thought josh.
Well the shelferes are the ones who owned the weaponry factions in these areas.
So if you need directions it's just a meter away from you.
Am not sure the gates would be open at this moment.
They do follow a strict protocol. Explained Xalin
Listening to this damsel and also in thoughts josh face turned paler during explanation,
So that old man was right?
No it can't be or was it a coincidence of him mention it, that guy was crazy!!
Josh couldn't help it, was he going crazy? Damn it looks this hunger has gotten me real deep today.
What do you have? Asked josh
We have some dishes which will cost you only 30 waug coins said Xalin.
Before Xalin had met this gentleman she had already guessed his type from an hour ago even though she didn't pay attention to him he already looks like a gentleman and he seems on a mission so she showed respect to him, she was kinda surprised; because this adventurer seems a little humble and not arrogant as some of her friends in the towns say they are and he was easy to talk to.
Ooh!! Josh exclaimed lowly.
He was a little out of cash and he had only 25 waug coins with him at the moment he was thinking he would have some food at his destination that was why he didn't bother to carry much money and now he regretted it.
No worries mister we still have another rate of price of dishes around 35 waug coins above and they are really palatable.
Xalin thought his exclamation was based on the low quality of food that was why she increased the price. She was happy at the same time angry.
She was happy about the price and angry for him not being appreciative, at least he was one of the few people she gave this low price because she taught he was decent.
Hearing the price go higher josh showed a shocked face and quickly maintained.
I was thinking of how to explain to her I don't have much money now she increased the price, how does she do it? Thought josh.
Emmm Miss!! I didn't get your name, I was hoping if we could be a little acquainted!!
I don't know why I said that. Thought josh
The expression on Xalin face changed drastically, but returned normal if you weren't looking at her you won't see the calm eyes turn fiery now.
I don't get you sir, Xalin exclaimed curtly.
Oh don't get me wrong, I was just asking for your name nothing else,
You see I don't have much money on me at the moment and I wanted to be acquainted with you so we can see a reason; josh explained
Ohhhh!! He isn't that bad,
Well my name is Xalin nice meeting you, ehh!!!.
Call me josh; replied josh
Ok josh, nice meeting you and what are ordering; asked Xalin
Well I have only around 20 waug coins, can I get anything around that amount? Asked josh.
Ok no worries I will see what I can get for you, just hold on a minute.
Leaving the warrior behind Xalin couldn't help but blush as her cheeks started turning red.
Which was surprising to her, why am I feeling this way for a total stranger, we just met.
Thinking like this Xalin just shivered and didn't think much about it again.
Saying that Xalin left to get something for josh around his budget leaving him there
It seems the place isn't too crowded said josh. Am going to just relax here and get some fresh air. While relaxing josh fell a little sleepy even with the cool air and silent night background josh fell asleep not long
At least not too deep he thought before he lost consciousness.
