Chapter 11: Become Adventurer

Chapter 11: Become Adventurer

Next day, early morning.

The sun had just started to brighten, but Riezel was already awake.

Taking a quick look around the somewhat unfamiliar room, he was confused for a moment before aware of his situation.

"Almost forgot, I've moved into Twilight Manor."

This was one of the many towers within Twilight Manor, located on the upper floor in one of its rooms.

Yesterday, after completing the status update at Loki's room, Riezel was assigned to this room. This was his room in Twilight Manor, the residence in Loki Familia's main base. From now on, barring any unexpected events, this place would be his, free for him to use.

Getting out of bed, he first glanced outside the dimly lit window before starting to freshen up.

After finishing his morning routine, he noticed a set of clothes placed outside his room, seemingly left there by some members of the Familia.

—Goddess told me to prepare these for you.

Staring at the clothes with a note on top, Riezel fell silent for a moment, then silently thanked them in his mind before changing into the new clothes.

As for his own clothes, there was no way he would wear them again.

The set, covered in bloodstains, mud, and dust after a day and night of battle, had gloriously declared its demise. It couldn't be repaired, only discarded.

In the awkward situation of having no replacement, he had to accept the kindness of the Familia.

However, it seemed the Familia's goodwill wasn't limited to just a set of clothes; there was also a heavy bag filled with shining coins.

Inside the bag, there was another note.

—There's a total of one hundred thousand valis in here, consider it your startup funds. Use it wisely. If you don't follow my instructions from last night, you're not allowed to enter the dungeon!

No need to guess, this note was almost certainly left by Loki.

This reminded Riezel of the tasks assigned by her after updating his status last night. A wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

'It seems that without completing those preparations, she won't allow me back into the dungeon.'

'Well, that's fine...'

Since it was for his own benefit, Riezel would obediently follow Loki's arrangements.

Taking the somewhat heavy money bag, he pondered for a moment. In the end, he chose not to carry it on his person but instead placed it in the storage space of the Dimensional Magic Cube.

In the third instruction of the 'Dimensional Magic Cube's Instructions' it was mentioned that the Dimensional Magic Cube came with a storage space that could be opened and used at any time.

Even before arriving in this world, while lying in bed recovering from injuries in his original world, he had already tried opening the storage space of the Dimensional Magic Cube.

Therefore, he was not unfamiliar with this function.

'Collect.'

With a silent recitation in his heart, the money pouch in his hand disappeared.

It had entered the storage space contained within the Dimensional Magic Cube.

The method for the storage space to receive an item was straightforward—touch the belongings, silently say 'collect'.

The process was the same for extracting an item. First, immerse consciousness into the Dimensional Magic Cube's storage space, observe the interior, locate the desired item, and then silently say 'extract'.

Once familiar with these functions during the month of recuperation, he could now perform 'collect' or 'extract' in less than a second. It was convenient and efficient.

After he was done, Riezel opened the door and stepped into a corridor.

Upon closer inspection, this corridor was suspended.

'Lastly, visit the Guild and register as an adventurer.'

These were the three instructions Loki gave Riezel to complete. Only after finishing these tasks could he enter the dungeon again.

It's more accurate to say that, typically, people who want to enter the dungeon would complete these preparations first before considering venturing in. Riezel, on the other hand, disrupted common sense, entering the dungeon first and then turning back to make these preparations, truly leaving people dumbfounded.

If it weren't for him awakening one magic and three skills with astonishing effects, and the update of his status last night almost driving Loki insane, she might have ordered him to find a party and not allow him to venture into the dungeon alone.

At that moment, Loki was being quite lenient, only instructing him to make these three preparations.

'As for the books, I pretty much finished reading them last night. At least, I've memorized the information about the first few floors of the dungeon.'

Riezel, with his exceptional memory, wasn't troubled by that at all and had already completed that task last night.

With two tasks left—register at the Guild and use the startup funds to purchase weapons and armor.

'Let's go register at the Guild first.'

Having made this decision, Riezel recalled the city map he noted down last night and headed northwest.

The street here was bustling early in the morning, with many shops open and stalls set up on both sides.

On the way, many people, humans, and various demi-humans were walking around, some well-equipped, indicating that they weren't to be messed with.

Entering this street and walking deeper, Riezel, along with many others with the same destination, eventually arrived at a magnificent building.

It was a building constructed with white pillars.

In the spacious marble-made entrance hall, numerous heavily armed individuals were bustling around, crowding the area to the point of chaos.

This was the Guild, the official organization managing the Labyrinth City, Orario.

Most of the figures present were adventurers, people with the duty and purpose of conquering dungeons.

Riezel managed to slip in and approached the counter.

"Hey there, could you help me register as an adventurer?" Riezel spoke to the lady receptionist behind the counter.

"Sure, just a moment." The receptionist responded promptly. She skillfully pulled out a piece of parchment and began the registration process.

"Name?"

"Riezel Brynhart."

"Race?"

"Human."

"Age?"

"...Seventeen."

Riezel initially thought about stating his age from his previous life, but it felt a bit awkward to report that age with the appearance of his current body. Therefore, he hesitated slightly before giving the age of his current body.

"To which Familia do you belong?"

Unaware of his complex mood, the receptionist continued with the questions.

"Loki Familia."

Riezel didn't hesitate much and stated it directly.

However, in that split second, a brief silence fell over the entire hall.
