The Strange Life I Live

Life of an Adventurer

Zen was currently standing up and queuing up on his line towards the receptionist of the Adventurer Guild where he worked. Patiently, Zen began to follow the steps per step of his line to move forward.

“Quick as usual Zen” said a woman to Zen, when she reached the end of the queue.

“I am only lucky to have the material” Zen said as he handed the paper quest signed by the person who needed his services to Meli who was in front of him.

“If you continue this way, your ranking will soon increase again Zen” Meli replied when taking adventurer cards from Zen.

Zen was currently already an E-ranked adventurer, whose rank had risen a few days ago. Indeed the increase of Zen is very fast, because in addition to getting exclusive demand, Zen also takes some other requests.

“It's still very far Meli” said Zen who saw the points he collected only as much as 50 out of the 1000 points he had to collect in order to increase his ranking to become a D-ranked adventurer.

“Then, you want to take another mission?” ask Meli.

“That's how, since it's still day I'd better take a few more missions” said Zen.

Meli just smiled at Zen's words, and started to take out some bronze coins and give them to Zen, which was the minimum wage of his rank after he had completed his mission.

Zen then thanked Meli and took the coins given by her and went to a board that provided various missions for her. After finding a suitable mission, Zen then handed it back to Meli to be passed and began to move from there to complete the mission.

Meli just smiled at Zen who had disappeared from her sight after taking the request she was about to make. After seeing his departure, Meli finally began to continue his duties to serve some adventurers who had completed his mission, as well as taking on a new mission.

“Welcome to Adventurers Guild, how can I help you?” ask Meli politely to the person who is in front of her.

“I'm sorry miss, but we're looking for the prince of Heilight kingdom, Zen Heilight in this place” said a man wearing warrior clothes from a kingdom answering a question from Meli.

Zen, who did not know that some people were looking for him at the moment, only took his mission very seriously. The one where Zen is currently sitting on a terrace in front of a simple house on the outskirts of the city of Pavel, who is the owner of the person who asked for his help after he finished his task.

“This please young boy” said a middle-aged lung woman who had served Zen a cup of tea.

“Thank you Granny” Zen replied politely, and began drinking the contents of the cup that had been served to him.

“Luckily you quickly came, otherwise our chicken cattle will continue to be eaten by stray dogs who are here” reply the grandmother who began to sit in front of Zen, and accompany him to drink tea.

“Sama – with grandma, after all you rent my services, so I have to solve the problems you face” reply Zen.

The mission Zen took was very simple, where he had to hunt wild dogs that prey on chicken cattle owned by an elderly couple.

Zen quickly solved the problem, hunting down more than 6 stray dogs and managed to kill them and complete the mission very quickly.

“This bring for you cook” said a middle-aged lung man who arrived – just showed up on the terrace where Zen and the grandmother he spoke to were.

“Didn't Grandpa already pay me. So Grandpa doesn't need to give anything to me” said Zen who refused subtly the gift from the middle-aged man.

“Make it.. I heard you have a sister who likes to eat, so cook this for her okay” said the middle-aged man forcing Zen to take his gift.

Indeed Zen hunted the stray dogs with Grandpa who gave him the eggs and chicken meat. So that when they were hunting earlier, they often chatted and made Grandpa start to know a little about Zen.

“Yes... Besides, if it's just that, it won't make us lose... So Ambe” said the grandmother who was in front of Zen.

“Alright, thank you Kek” said Zen who put the items he was presented for into his gem store.

Zen began to chat lightly with the middle-aged couple, until Zen decided to say goodbye to them because the day began to afternoon. Zen has to pick up Yui at Lexi's house, and maybe cook dinner for them, so he has to come back for now.

Grateful once again to the couple who were very friendly to him, Zen finally began to leave the house of the couple who gave him the mission and began to slowly walk towards the Adventurers Guild.

Zen walked slowly following the hustle and bustle of the streets of this city, until he accidentally hit a man who was carrying some goods, and spilled all his luggage down the ground.

“I'm sorry tuan” said someone with a female voice who bumped into him earlier.

Zen did not reply, but helped get the luggage from the fallen woman and returned it to her. Surprisingly, the woman who was being helped by Zen with a frightened gesture began to pick up her item that was in Zen and did not forget to thank him.

“B-Your shirt t-tuan” said nervously, because the – items it carries make stains on clothes from Zen.

Zen slowly looked at the clothes he was wearing and there was a stain from some crushed fruits – foam that stuck to his clothes.

“It is okay – what, you can continue your journey to your employer” Zen said with a smile to the woman wearing a chain necklace on her neck.

“T-Thank you tuan” replied as he bowed and began to move on from there.

Some people noticed Zen's behavior with strange gazes. Because according to them, it should not be someone to help the woman who was hit by Zen earlier, because of the status he had.

“Hahh... why is there slavery in this world” murmured Zen and started to move from there and ignored the gaze of the – people who were there.

Zen's move finally arrived at the Adventurers Guild and he began to report the results of the mission he had already completed. Because the day has begun to afternoon, the queue at this place is also increasingly crowded, so it takes extra time to report the results of his work.

“Oh... Zen you have arrived” said a woman Zen always sought when she wanted to deal with the Adventurer Guild.

Indeed Meli is a friend in this city, in addition to the party from Bennard. Even Meli often plays with Yui and takes her around the city while she is on vacation. Even Zen knows that Meli already has a fiance in the Capital because they are very close like friends.

“Iya...my mission is not too difficult, so I can finish it quickly” said Zen who has given his signed mission paper.

“OK...where is your adventurer card..” said Meli who asked for Zen adventurer card.

Zen then gave his adventure card and waited for the process being done by Meli, until Meli handed him her card and several bronze coins as a result of completing her mission.

“Ah Yes Zen, tomorrow you are asked to come and meet with the Chairman of the Adventurer Guild of Pavel” City
