I entered the guild building and took a look at my surroundings. Right in front of the entrance is a counter with a sign that says registration right above it. I guess new adventurers go there to become eligible to take quests, I should probably do that first. The line to the counter itself is small, I think it will take ten minutes maximum until I get there.

*30 Minutes Later*

Finally that person is done. She wouldn't stop asking questions about some of the stupidest things I have ever heard. I actually considered knocking myself out cold just to save myself from anymore waiting. Anyways, I walk up to the counter and I hand the clerk working there my disc. "Alright I have your disc now I just need to ask you some questions before I upload the disc to see if the data is accurate." The clerk said.

"Sure, what do you need to know?" I responded.

"Your name, your age, your current level, and all weapons you have any experience with." The clerk stated.

"Alright, my name is Kevin Howards, I'm twenty-four years old, I'm currently level 2, and while my class is listed as a Swordmaster I have experience with bows as well." I stated. The clerk put the disc into a machine and checked all of the info I gave her. She took the disc out of the machine and handed it back to me.

"Okay Kevin, you're now eligible to accept Rank E quests. Just go over to one of those HUD screens and select a quest." She said while pointing to my right.

"Thanks." I said before walking over to the HUD screen. I look at the available quests that I can take for now and look over the details. Apparently there are three quests I can take right now and in terms of difficulty they're listed like this. The easiest mission is to collect five bottles of Dogoo Jelly (I guess that's what those slime creatures were called), defeat three Horsebirds, and slay a Frost Dragon. I decided to take all three of these quests and leave the building.

On my way out of the building I notice to little girls that looked like they were either eight or ten walk into the building. One of them was dressed in a pink pajama dress (that's the best way I can describe it), had long light brown hair and it was a really light shade of brown, and she had blue eyes. The other girl was dressed in a similar manner except her pajama dress was light blue and her hair was shorter. I notice something fall out of the pocket of the short haired girl (why didn't she keep it in her disc?) and land on the ground. I decided to pick it up and hand it back to the girl.

"Excuse me." I said to the girl. She turned around and upon seeing me she hid her face behind her hands out of fear. I decided to crouch down to her eye level so I seem less intimidating. "Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you, you just dropped this." I said to the girl in a calm voice. She slowly raised her head above her hands to look at the object I was holding. Upon closer inspection it seems to be some sort of pen.

"T-thank you sir." She nervously said. She took the pen the pen out of my hand.

"No problem." I said to the girl. I decided to stand back up and make my way towards the door. Out of the corner of my eye I see the girl in the pink pajama dress walk over to the other girl. She seemed to have a slight look of worry on her face. I guess those two must be siblings or something like that.

After leaving the building I pull out the map I have of Lowee from my disc and look for the location mentioned in the descriptions. I am currently looking for the Frosty Fields, a snow filled plains that is said to be a new habitat for Dogoos and Horsebirds. I find the location on my map and surprisingly it's the place where I woke up a few hours ago.

I put the map back into my disc and summon my sword out. I take the (still sheathed) sword and attach it to the right side of my trench coat. If anyone is wondering why I did that, it's a force of habit and sheathing my sword is actually the key to some of my more powerful attacks if I ever unlock them. Wait… did I just break the fourth wall? Ah, shit now I have to be more careful about what I think. Anyways, I attached the sword and walked towards the exit of the capital.

After walking out the exit I decided to head southeast because I think that was the general direction the Frosty Fields were located at.

*One Hour Later*

Alright, I know for a fucking fact that my sense of direction is better than this. I have been wandering for an hour looking for the dungeon entrance and I haven't found crap. At that moment an HUD screen appears out of thin air and displays a message.

'Once a dungeon has been entered for the first time you can instantly teleport there by tapping it on your map.'

"Gee, that would have been helpful AN HOUR AGO, WHEN I WAS WANDERING AROUND LIKE A DUMBASS!" I yelled at the monitor. I decided to just punch it out of rage and watch it shatter into one-hundred or so pieces. I pull up my map again and tap the dungeon. In a matter of three seconds I arrived at the dungeon entrance and I calmed down as well. "Alright, time to get to work." I said to myself as I walked through the entrance.

I swear this place had a lot less trees when I was here for the first time. Either way, I need to look for some Dogoos first. I decided to search some nearby bushes for them but all I found were some empty bottles, some grass my disc HUD told me had healing properties, and a pocket watch that still seemed to work. I decided to put all of these items in my disc and continued searching for those Dogoos.

I searched behind some other trees and bushes for a few more minutes until I heard a sound right behind me.

"Bowooze." Was the sound I heard. I turned around and right behind me was a group of three Dogoos and a horse with bird wings sticking out of its back. I guess that's a Horsebird. I unsheathed my sword and got into my battle stance. A Dogoo made the first move and jumped at my face. I blocked it with my right arm (It's artificial so I can block with it and feel no pain) and countered with a vertical slash. My counter did some damage to the Dogoo and it slowly bounced away.

I made the next move by kicking the same Dogoo into midair and I slashed my sword right through it. Instead of being cut in half the Dogoo exploded into an array of pixels signaling its defeat. If these things explode into pixels when I kill/defeat them, how the hell can I get those five jars of Dogoo Jelly? Maybe, I can use the bottle to scoop a sample before killing one.

While I was thinking over what I should do the other two Dogoos jumped right at me. I dodged the first one with ease but the second one managed to hit me in the gut. "Guh!" I groaned. I quickly summoned an empty bottle out of my disc and swung it at the Dogoo that hit me. I managed to get a sample this way but it seems like it will also instantly kill a Dogoo considering this one instantly exploded into pixels after I got the sample. "One down, four to go." I said as I put the bottle into my disc.

I summoned another bottle from my disc and swung it at another Dogoo. The bastard developed a brain and jumped back to dodge my swing. How come I have a feeling I forgot about something… "OH SHIT!" I yelled as I barely dodge an attack from the horsebird. "SONIC SLASH!" I yelled while doing the attack. It hit the Horsebird right in the face and it fell flat on its back. I quickly stab it in the neck with my sword and watch as it explodes into pixels.

With the Dogoo being the last enemy standing it desperately tries one last attack. I quickly re-summon the bottle and countered by swinging it at the Dogoo. If there's one thing I ever learned in my many years of battle, it's that desperation attacks never tend to work and the same goes for this Dogoo. The bottle connected with the Dogoo and I got another sample before it exploded into pixels.

Alright, that's one Horsebird eliminated and two bottles of Dogoo Jelly collected. I sheathed my sword and started walking deeper into the plains. I decided to search some more bushes for anymore Dogoos or Horsebirds and surprisingly, I can't find anything. "Son of a bitch, when I want to find monsters they're never around." I said to myself.

*Snap*

"The hell was that?" I asked myself while I was turning around. Right behind me were two Horsebirds and another Dogoo except this one is the size of a house. "Time to get this how on the road." I said while unsheathing my sword. I quickly dashed towards a Horsebird and ran my sword through its skull. It exploded into pixels a second after impact, I guess that was a critical hit.

The second Horsebird charged at me as fast as it could. I quickly jump to the side and avoid its reckless charge. It tried to retaliate by charging again but I dodged it again. It tried to charge one last time but I decided to counter this time. I punched it in the face with my right hand and followed up with a spin kick. The Horsebird fell onto its side and I quickly pierced its neck with my sword and it bursted into pixels as a result of the fatal stab.

I now turn my attention to the large as fuck Dogoo. Why it never attacked me while I was fighting the Horsebirds is a mystery but either way it's time to fight the bastard. Before I could make a move another HUD screen appeared in front of me.

Boss Battle: Grand Dogoo

Okay… did it really need to pop up just to tell me that this is a boss rank enemy? You know what, fuck it. I'll just fight the prick and get it done and over with. The Grand Dogoo makes the first move by trying to squish me under its huge body. I quickly jump back and avoid its attack with ease. The Dogoo landed on the ground and the impact caused a small shockwave to skid along the ground.

I jump over the shockwave and prepare a bottle to take some more of its jelly. I swipe at its body and nab a sample before jumping back to prevent a counter attack. The Dogoo jumped again in the same manner as last time but this time I jumped upwards and managed to land on its head. It seems like the Dogoo is defenceless when I'm on its head so I decided to take two more samples with the bottles and then hacked away at it with my sword.

Nce and fo

I have no clue how the hell this thing could take so many sword slashes but I finally managed to finish off the bastard. I sheathed my sword and surprise, surprise another HUD screen appeared.

'The Jelly collector and Horsebird hunter quests are now completed. Kevin Howards is now level 4 as well and he has learned Triad Slash.'

Alright, I got another one of my moves back but the random HUD screen is starting to get annoying. I wonder if there's a way to get rid of that screen once and for all. I'll have to ask the clerk at the guild later.

"Now then." I said while taking out my map. "I just need to find a Frost Dragon and I can be on my way."

"RRRRRAAAAAHHHHH!" An unknown beast made. To my right I see a huge creature approaching me.

"I guess that's the Frost Dragon." I say to myself. The creature itself was close to ten feet tall and it stood on its hind legs. The scales were light blue and it had dark blue eyes. The claws on its arms looked like they are as sharp as a katana and the wings on its back span a total of eight feet long. This was not going to be an easy fight.

I get into my battle stance and wait for the dragon to attack. It swings its claws at me with great speed and accuracy. I quickly tilt back and barely dodge the attack because the claws barely hit my clothes. While it recovers from the swing I quickly run up and slash its underbelly. "TRIAD SLASH!" I yelled while slashing at the beast. I quickly do a horizontal slash to the left, follow up with a diagonal slash to the right, and finish with another diagonal slash to the left. The three slashes form a triangle and I kick right in the center of it to get away from the dragon.

"RAH!" The dragon roared in pain. It countered with another slash of its claws. I managed to block it with my right arm but the force of the impact sent me flying into a tree. I slam back first into the tree and fall on the ground flat on my stomach.

"*cough* That took *cough* a lot out of me." I said to myself while trying to keep my blood in my body. I get back into my battle stance and wait for another attack from the dragon. The dragon tries swiping at me with its tail. I jump over the tail and ran over to the dragons back while it was recovering.

I slash the back itself a few times before actually jumping onto its back and preparing to climb up it. While climbing up its back I slashed its wings a few times and proceed to climb towards the head. I make it to the top of its head and prepare to stab my sword right through its head. The dragon wasn't stupid considering it tried to grab me with its claws. I dodged the claws and thrust my sword right through the dragon's head with everything I got.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The dragon roared in agony. I pulled my sword out of its head and jumped to the ground as it fell forward. It landed on the ground with an extremely loud THUD and I landed in front of its head. I sheathed my sword and watched as the dragon exploded into pixels.

"Alright, that's the last quest of the day done." I said while brushing off my hands. The walk to the dungeon's exit was uneventful and I got to the exit relatively quickly. I pulled out my map and teleported back to the capital in an instant.

When I landed in the capital I walked over to the guild building and passed in my quests. Before I could leave the building the clerk that worked at the counter waved me over there. "Good, I got your attention before you left." She said.

"Did you need something from me?" I asked the clerk.

"Yes, I forgot to give you this." She took out something that looked like a bracelet. It had an LCD screen on it and some buttons labeled 'quests', 'stats', and 'items'. "These were made so you no longer had to deal with those annoying HUD screens that pop out of nowhere." She said.

"Thanks." I said to the clerk. I take the device and put it on my reactor (that's the artificial arm). "How much do I owe you?" I asked the clerk.

"It's a gift from the superiors to all citizens who register to take quests at the guild." She answered.

"Thank you then." I said to the clerk. I walk out of the guild building and I notice that it's starting to get dark out. "I should probably find an inn right now." I said to myself. I looked around the town for a little bit until I found a building with a big sign that said inn on it. I decided to walk inside and check it out. I walk inside and go to the counter where an employee is just watching the news. "Excuse me." I said to the employee.

"Huh, oh welcome good sir." The employee said after turning around to look at me. "What can I do for you?" He asked me.

"I would like to rent a room for a few nights." I answered the employee.

"How many nights do you plan on staying?" He asked. Now that I think about it I shouldn't stay here for too long. I think I'll just check out the coliseum tomorrow, and leave the day after, so two nights should be fine.

"I'll just stay for two nights." I told the employee.

"Alright, that'll be 120 credits." He said.

"Here you go." I said while giving him my disc. He put it into a machine to confirm it and handed it back to me.

"You have 12,637 credits left, enjoy your stay." The employee said. Holy shit, how did I get so much money? I think it must be related to those guild missions I did earlier today, I should check my level later as well.

"Thanks." I say to the employee before I go searching for my room. My key card says that I'm in room 214 so I guess that means I should search the second floor. I manage to find some stairs and look around the area for a bit. I manage to find my room and open the door. I walk inside and look around my room.

My room is actually pretty basic, it has one large bed, a desk right next to it, there's a flat screen TV three feet or so away from the bed and there's a game console underneath it. Luckily there's a bathroom right next to the entrance to my room. I decided to take a quick shower before going to sleep for the night (good thing my reactor is waterproof). After I get out of the shower I put on all of my clothes except for my trench coat. Before I go to sleep I quickly check the bracelet I was given at the guild and check my level.

"Level 7, huh?" I say to myself. Talk about a nice boost in a day. After checking my level I decided to turn in for the night. I lied down on my bed and slowly drifted to sleep.

Author's Notes: Alright, the next chapter is done and Kevin has now dealt with some quests. I decided that even though this is a spin-off story to TMCraze's story that I should still have Kevin interact with some of the canon characters before he joins Landon and I have plans to make references to some events that happen in future onwards (if Craze lets me of course). I also have plans to have a small story in this involving other people from Kevin's world because I know that guild quests and coliseum battles can only go so far before being redundant. Before I sign off I would like to say that I plan to start updating bi-weekly on weekends after this chapter and after I return from a family vacation happening in a few weeks (I'll post the next chapter March 29th because I'm also balancing this with a different fic). Now that that's said and done I'll see ya next time.
