(So I was looking into the whole exotic weapons, And I was really trying to find a reason of why a guardian uses one exotic weapon and armor at a time, like lore wise. The best answer I have is realistically most Guardian shouldn't even have their hands on it. So I might just equipped him with more than two exotics weapons but I won't go too heavy on exotic lore and stuff)

Oni-4 stepped inside to find the place teeming with other adventurers. A blonde lady holding two pints of beer greeted at the Titan.

"Welcome, if you're looking for a bite to eat please find a seat if you're looking for work please meet me at the counter." The blonde lady said as she hurried along.

Oni-4 caught a glimpse of the currency being used. He then whispered to his ghost.

"Hey Yokai, can you make some of that." Oni-4 whispered to his Ghost.

"Already on it." He said as a small bag appeared in his hand.

"It cost a lot of glimmer to make so spend it wisely." Yokai warned The Titan as he took a seat. A burly man looked over to The Titan and rubbed his chin.

"Now I Definitely know your new around here, what's your story big guy." He asked.

"Came to find some info on the devil king." Oni-4 said as heads began to turn.

"Hmph good luck, nobody has been able to find him, those that usually do go looking for him, wind up dead." The man said and Oni-4 sighed.

"Of course it wouldn't have been straightforward. You have any clue how I can get close?" He asked as he placed a couple of coins on the table. The man smiled as he took the coins.

"Now you speak my language, if you rank high enough in the hero's guild, you can gain access to more of the information on the devil King, May be the first to say welcome to the gates of hell." He told Oni-4 and The Titan nodded as he got up and went to the counter.

"Oh, how can I help you?" She asked.

"I like to become an adventurer." Oni-4 said and she nodded and she began to get the paperwork ready.

"Alright there is a small fee." She said and Oni-4 gladly paid it. She then began to explain the importance of the card she was going to give him.

"Let me explain how this works, adventurer is a generic class and your skills are important, which brings us to your registration card. It keeps track of your level based on all the monsters you killed, when your level increases you'll earn points that you can use to learn new skills. If you work hard enough you can gain new skills in no time."

"You get all that?" Oni-4 whisperd to his Ghost.

"Yep…" His Ghost confirms.

"Onto the next step, will you please hold your hand over the crystal sir?" She asked and the Exo put his hand over the weird device that began to write out his card.

"Once you finish the evaluation process we'll know your stats and from there we can assign you a class." She said as The Titan eyed his card. The blonde lady picked up his card and looked over it.

"Oni-4, now that is a weird name, but your stats are through the roof. I mean you really rank high on almost everything… it even assigned you a class already… Titan?" She said as the whole bar became intrigued by Oni-4's stats.

"You come with a lot of skills already, and your level is high. I haven't been this surprised since that blue haired girl signed up. I am more than happy to welcome you to the guild." She said as she grasped Oni-4's hand and began shaking it.

"My name is Luna and welcome to The hero's guild Oni-4 I hope you really reach that hero rank." Luna said as she handed him his card.

"So will I be able to get information on the devil king." He asked and she frowned a bit.

"I know your stats are impressive but that information is for high ranking guild members only." She said and he nodded.

"Only way to rank up is to complete bounties?" Oni-4 asked and she nodded.

"I have a fresh bounty right here… We need a strong hero to deal with some giant toads." She said as she handed him the bounty.

"Consider it done." Oni-4 said as he walked out of the guild. His ghost appeared beside him.

"It says we have to scout of the southern bastion, to find these toads… how big do you think they are?" He asked.

"Big enough that they need them killed. Let's go." Oni-4 said as he went on his way.

"Oni Don't you think it would be a good idea to equip some exotic armor, personally I recommend the Dune marchers for better mobility, we are on foreign ground now and keeping a leg up would be the best idea." His ghost recommended.

"Alright you made your point, I just don't like exotic armor's they seem to be more of a crutch." Oni-4 said as he had his ghost switch out his greaves.

"Says The guy who likes to use the last word in the crucible. Listen you may have your light but I dunno if I can revive you, better safe than sorry." Yokai said as the continued along the path.

The made it to the southern Bastion where Oni-4 boosted himself to the top wall. He laid down and took a prone shooting position as he looked outward.

"Yokai, Tatara Gaze please." He asked and soon the black armoy sniper rifle was in his hands. He scoured the land and began to search for any giant toads and when they said giant, they were serious.

Oni-4 lined up the shot and watched as the bullet ripped through the giant toad, dropping it dead.

"Did you see the size of that toad they weren't kidding when they said they were big, something like that would make cabal legionary feel small." Yokai said as Oni-4 continued looking outward.

"Egh, easy to kill thoug- ehh…" Oni-4 said with a pause as his scope zoomed over to see some blue haired girl get chomped on by some other giant toad.

Some brown haired kid tried helping her so The Titan decided to do them a solid. He aimed for the toads center of mass and fired a shot which didn't hit the girl and killed the toad.

"That was nice of you?" His ghost said but he shrugged.

"Just looking out for the little guys." Oni-4 said as he scooped out the southern Bastion and took out one more toad.

"Well time to go cut off their heads and claim the bounty. 5000 Eris for a head isn't bad at all, we might be able to drag their bodies to the butcher and sell it off as fresh meat." Yokai said as Oni-4 jumped down and landed and jogged quickly to the fallen toads.

"You know I think I'll adapt pretty well to this world." Oni-4 said as he looked around.

"I mean, are you still not shocked that we died and came back?" Yokai asked and Oni-4 shook his head no.

"Yokai, we have died many times, at this point, death would be a relief. However this place in the last City have a lot of similarities, both are surrounded by a wall, both have monsters outside that need to be dealt with, and there's no shortage of bounties." Oni-4 said as he continued along

"Yeah I guess you're right, let's stay on task. Sooner we kill this devil king sooner we go home." Yokai said and Oni-4 nodded.

"Right after we behead these toads, of course." Yokai added.

Later that day…

It was a spectacle to see the Titan tow the giant toad bodies through the streets of Axle town and even took a part time job of helping skin the damn toads and butchering them. Seems that people love meat, claim it's a little tough but it's a delicacy. After that, he turned and went back to the heroes guild to claim his bounty

Oni had turned in two heads, the one he shot that was trying to eat that blue haired girl earlier had been beheaded, toad's body was left though.

He went back to the hero's guild turned in his bounty and got paid. He then parked himself in the corner and ordered a drink and a meal. He rather not draw much attention to himself as he ate.

He wasn't too sure if people would be thrilled to see his Exo face and kept his back facing outward as he calmly ate his food, now he didn't really need to eat, but it was still one of his comforts. He began to eat as he heard complaining and arguing.

Oni-4 looked over his shoulder to see that same blue haired girl and the brown haired boy bicker at each other back and forth. He learned from eavesdropping that brown hair was Kazuma and Blue hair was Aqua. He drank the rest of drink as he continued his eavesdropping. Seems Like they needed another party member but he didn't really care. Oni-4 ate the rest of his food before putting on his helmet.

Yokai had suggested that they find some sort of library or archives in this town so they wouldn't have to be guessing what the paper said and going off by picture.

The Titan got up and walked out of the guild building all while Kazuma watched the Titan.

"Aqua have you seen that guy before?" Kazuma asked and she shrugged.

"Never seen him before, but he had a weird head. Black and adorned with red. You think he's a demon?" Aqua asked and Kazuma pondered a bit.

"I mean if he was a demon would he really be sitting here and eating food?" Kazuma asked.

"Well here I am eating and I'm a goddess so quite possibly." Aqua said as she gets the bold idea to follow Oni-4. They watched The Titan go around and ask for directions until he finally got the info and went to the town's library.

"So he's a nerd who likes to read. Way to waste my time Aqua." Kazuma said and Aqua shushed him.

"Look he's reading a basic book on reading and writing and he has this little thing helping him." Aqua said.

"Wow really… cause either way I don't care. I'm going back to the stables." Kazuma said as he left.

"Hey wait for me." Aqua called to him as she chased after Kazuma.

Oni-4 and yokai began to study, Yokai was quick enough to decipher the alphabet and learn what the literature and alphabet of Axel town was.

"That was easy, how are you doing?" Yokai asked as The Titan griped his helmet.

"I don't even know Which what is A." Oni-4 admitted. He wasn't so sure he was high on that intelligent stat as that lady made him out to be. Then again who could learn an entirely new alphabet in a night.

The Titan went on his merry way. He didn't know where he was gonna even stay it wasn't like he had a ship. The Exo went to a rural part of town where he used his solar abilities to light a fire so he can set up camp.

He placed a little frog meat over a fire. Oni-4 really liked to eat, especially if he was stressed. His cooking soon attracted a young girl.

She wore a witch attire, and had an eye patch on. She looked famished too.

"Are you Alright?" Oni-4 asked to which the girl took a seat next to him.

"I haven't eaten in three days." She said as Oni-4 turned the frog meat on the fire. He then handed her a frog kabob.

"Then eat up, young adventurers need their food to be strong." Oni-4 said as the girl was a little shocked by the kindness of a total stranger.

"Thanks… why are you being so friendly?" She asked.

"Heroes sacrifice for others, this is my sacrifice for you." Oni-4 said as he poked the fire with a stick.

"So what's your story then?" She asked.

"Battle hardened guardian, came from a distant land, Looking to kill the devil king. So I can return home… What about you?" Oni-4 said as he put another kabob on the fire.

"I am Megumin, a crimson demon, one of the most powerful spell casters in the land, because I harness the power of explosion magic." She said and Oni-4 nodded.

"Well Megumin, my name is Oni-4, I can cause explosions too." he said as he pulled out a vulcan hammer and tossed it up and down.

"Really show me!" She asked and Oni-4 tossed the hammer over to the open field to cause an explosion followed miniature explosions.

"Impressive, not as cool as mine, but impressive." She said as she begins to cast explosion and soon created a crater in the field before them.

The Titan was shocked by the raw power of her explosion spell. He then noticed she fell slumped over.

"I can only cast it once a day though." Megumin said as Oni-4 propped her by the fire.

"Thanks… you looking for any new party members?" She asked and Oni-4 laughed a bit.

"Party? I am not celebrating anything." He said and she sighed.

"I meant teammates." She said and he shrugged.

"Nah I really don't need any. I can handle myself just fine." Oni-4 said as an idea dawned on him.

"You know what, I recently overheard two adventurers need another party member. I'm sure you would fit in perfectly with them." Oni-4 said.

"Really?" She asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, really… in the morning go to heroes guild look for the blue haired girl and the guy wearing a tracksuit." Oni-4 said as he laid back on a rock.

"You know compared to the people of Axle town you're actually nice." She said as he waved it off.

"Thanks, you should probably rest up for tomorrow." Oni-4 said as he soon drifted off to sleep.

"Night Oni." Megumin said as she stayed by the fire.

In the morning Megumin soon woke up to find The Titan long gone. She then decided to go find the heroes guild and take on that advice he gave her, she hoped they'd cross paths again.

(I hope this was enjoyable chapter, bless you all and just give me time for the next one.)
