The Ring Of Chaos

Chapter :31 – Quest SS

In a narrow dark room, there was a mattress and a table complete with chairs. Beside the mattress, there was a large cupboard made of strong wood that was wide open, revealing the hangers of several clothes with dark red stains.

Inside the room that seemed to be that room, the lights broke apart. The books on the table were scattered, the curtains that became window coverings were torn and the window glass also fared the same as the lights, breaking apart.

In the wooden beams of the ceiling of the room, the rope was tied firmly with the other end tightly binding the neck of a woman who was hanging stiffly with a tense body. His eyes dodged and his tongue stuck out, truly a terrifying sight.

Under the woman hanging, there was a corpse of a man covered in blood all over his body. His neck was almost broken and his chest was already deeply hollow.

By the window, a girl of about nineteen years of age knelt with wide eyes. Seeing a man standing upright carrying a machete in his right hand.

The girl's hair was short in brown, her skin was white and her nose was pointed. His body was not short height, his fingers small and long. His body was slender solid. It was truly a very beautiful woman even while being put on such a frightened expression.

The man lifted his machete up and slashed it quickly down. Then....

"Biggat!"

Asahi got up and immediately sat on her bed. Cold sweat soaked all over the body even to the mattress and blanket. His eyes bulged wide, his mouth slightly open to inhale as much as possible.

"Today.the date of twelve.always approached the same dream."

He turned his gaze to the table on the edge of the bed. He took out his silver bracelet that he had placed there and held it tightly to his chest that was in black clothes and still soaked in sweat.

"Sister.I miss you so much.." she muttered in a trembling voice.

"After I come to this place, can I find and see your face once more?"

...****************...

A few days later, it had been seven days since Kento's disappearance and never returned. This is back Ken, Amaya's brother was busy not playing because he had to take over the duties of the alliance leader. It was no surprise because that person was the vice leader of Dragon Republic.

Currently in the adventurer guild, Asahi was sifting through quests for today. He is quite happy because Sakura, Sasaki, Charlotte and Amaya are not in the city because they are carrying out the mission they took from yesterday. To this day there are no bullies.

He had also taken some of his ordered potions that Nara had made with the basic ingredients of Blue Root Grass. Make him confident enough if he has to take a high-level quest.

When Asahi wanted to walk towards the large whiteboard where there were usually a lot of quests plastered, he was surprised by the crowd of adventurers gathered on one side of the room.

But as usual, Tanaka Asahi continues to travel to the blackboard and ignore them. I don't know what they're talking about, he doesn't want to know.

The initial intention is so, but it seems to have to change when both ears hear their conversation that is getting more exciting and heated.

"Hoi...hoi..this seriousness? SS level quest? I just saw it this time!!"

Asahi frowned, during playing Ring of Chaos, the highest quest he had ever seen at once run was a S+ level quest. He had never known there was an SS level quest.

Ss level? How hard is that?

Asahi again sharpened the senses of his listeners to hear further. The person's words about the SS quest really caught his attention.

Shortly after, his friend replied, "Are you blind? Look, this is real SS!"

"Against Desert Snake? I know Desert Snake isn't this terrible!?"

"Everything has changed." whispered someone who was blushing his voice. Hearing this, Asahi guessed that they were immortals.

Desert Snake, what he said, I don't think that monster is so terrible. Just because it's so wide that's a little troublesome.

"You want to take it?"

"Where is it possible?"

The conversation continued and Asahi had no intention of listening any further. Because when his eyes sorted through the quest, he saw that there was one quest paper that caught his attention.

"This is the quest?" he muttered and took out the paper of the Desert Snake extermination quest.

There is a clear picture of the monster and the details of its mission. Under the mission details, there are two large letters that are written neatly and beautifully, the letters are "SS". Around the Desert Snake image, there are many red stamps with skulls indicating that this mission is very dangerous.

"Take no yes...?" Asahi began to hesitate to decide.

He placed his right hand against his chin, thinking hard whether to take this quest or choose another one. If he takes it, it is likely that he will have to join a party, or else there should be at least Amaya and her other friends. But this time he was alone.

Asahi re-examined the quest paper. On seeing the super fantastic rewards he had just seen all this time.

"What is this...10,000,000 gold coins and Celestial Crystal? Really, is the guild joking?"

After the world's move, the currencies within the Ring of Chaos changed. If previously named Ric and only able to be stored in the wallet contained in the status window, now turned into gold, silver and bronze coins.

This was known to Asahi and the others when they wanted to buy a new skill book at that time. But even there is no money and must take a mission to find income.

In fact, what attracted Asahi's attention was not the gold group. Rather, it was the Celestial Crystal he had been looking for all along.

Elemental Crystal, is a crystal that if melted and put together into a weapon, then the weapon will have the corresponding elemental power of the crystals put together. And right now, the reward other than money was the celestial elemental or celestial element crystal.

If Asahi gets that and is melted into his katana, then his weapon will have a celestial element, perfectly matching his new skill book.

But now, the opportunity was wide open before his eyes. If he managed to complete this quest, not only would he earn a lot of money, he would also be able to start studying those two books.

"All of you..When I need you, why go?" Asahi muttered a little annoyed. Of course, what he meant was his friends

Eventually, Asahi decided to take on the mission. He brought the quest paper and placed it on the reception desk.

"Welcome, sir." greet the friendly receptionist.

"I want to take this." said Asahi flatly while putting down the quest paper.

"Alright, let me.see.." the receptionist's face paled when he saw the Asahi quest paper.

"Sorry sir, are you serious?"

"You don't think I'm serious?"

"T-but..this is SS level, you didn't bring a party?"

"No, if I can't finish it, it's my own business." replied Asahi flatly expressionlessly.

The receptionist was actually confused about whether to give consent or not. But in the quest paper, it is not stated that someone who took this quest must bring the party, so according to the rules, it is only legitimate if Asahi goes alone.

The receptionist came to one of his friends and discussed for a moment. His friend then nodded his head but still clearly emblazoned with a look of doubt on his face.

"Okay sir, I hope you're okay. Just my message, don't push yourself. Your safety is more important, remember!" said the receptionist firmly after giving a stamp on the quest paper.

Asahi nodded and picked up the quest paper then without saying anything, she left from there.

"Hey.hey..hey..there are arrogant people..."

Asahi let out a long sigh and stopped her steps. In front of him, approximately one meter away, stood a large tall man, his eyes wide following his mouth.

"What do you mean?" asked Asahi coldly.

This person stepped onto one of the tables and kicked the table with his feet. After that he looked back at Asahi sharply.

"Hey, a beginner like you wants to take an SS quest? Just be right! It is clear from your simple clothes, you just became an adventurer not even a week, right!?" it was the circus of that person that made the entire guild's occupants laugh. Except for the receptionists who looked worried because they knew who Asahi was.

After that person, the inner receptionists simultaneously.

"Right, hey rookie, you better just take the E quest over there! We who are quite senior must bring a party if we want to conquer quest A." exclaimed someone in the corner of the room.

Shortly after, in another corner of the room was heard saying, "Don't be a brave and a hotshot! Do you want to attract the attention of the beautiful lady over there!? I know he's beautiful, but you have to be stronger first for him to think of as a mighty man!" the man pointed to the receptionist.

"Huhahah!" the man laughed loudly and pointed at Asahi. Mock it mercilessly.

"Haha!" the whole room became noisy to see Asahi who was considered a hotshot for taking SS-level missions.

Seeing all this, Asahi was not angry at all or anything, just a little irritated. So he moved his right hand and the spatial ring embedded in his ring finger glowed faintly.

A second later, everyone was silent as soon as they saw the change in Asahi's clothes.

"Try saying it again? I was so focused on this that I could not pay attention to the words of my friends" Asahi said flatly as she lifted her quest paper.

"I-that's.pride clothes.the ten strongest members of the Dragon Republic.." murmured someone who was still heard by Asahi because the room was quiet.

Indeed the current Asahi had changed her clothes that were previously wearing black haori, becoming a dark red haori embroidered with golden dragons on the back. Everyone in this Fortuna town nobody doesn't know what clothes it is.

"The dragon's clothes and the curved sword on his waist....."

"Tanaka Asahi...?"

"The strongest person in the alliance?"

Successively there were whispering voices all over the room. The receptionist looked pale in fear that Asahi would do something bad to the man before her.

As for the man, still with his feet on the table, he looked wide open and his whole body stiffened when he knew this truth.

I got the wrong fucking guy! Why don't I realize he's Asahi!

This man cries out in his heart for his own stupidity.

"Alright, I go first" Asahi said later and walked out of the guild building casually, as if nothing had happened before. Not to forget also he changed his clothes with black haori back.
