Chapter 10:

 The Adventurer Guild

I woke up the next morning feeling dizzy, and with Albana’s head on my chest.

        “Hey zemra, where were you last night?” she said as soon as I opened my eyes.

     “I made this new friend, Butrint. Did I tell you about the fake passes yet?”

“Yeah you did. It’s really great, I thought about getting them too but I had no contacts here yet. By the way, when you came home you were acting really weird, and kept kissing different parts of my face, calling me Speedy, then fell asleep.”    

“Oh yeah, I was really high. Butrint and I ate a lot of shrums and hashish. It was a really fun time. I felt all the stress in my body go away,”

“Oh, that’s good, but maybe you shouldn’t do too many drugs? it could be dangerous…” 

Again, Albana was trying to control me, which was a little annoying, but it also made me feel good I had someone caring about me.

“Yeah, I hear you,” I said, “by the way, did you fix our clothes?”

“Yeah yeah,” Albana said and jumped out of the bed and went to the corner of the room. Her butt bounced a little which is always a good sight for the eyes.

 “Look, I fixed them all,” she said and jumped back on the bed with the black robe and my black jeans.

“Great job,“ I said and padded her on the head. “I guess we’re set to go. Let’s just have a normal day at the dungeon today. No more dangerous stuff. Let’s say, only down to the 9th floor at most.”

“Sounds good,“ Albana said with a smile and squinted her eyes. She looked too cute. I put my arm behind her head and pulled her in for a kiss.

***

While we were in the dungeon, I practised the wind flying magic.

     “Wow that’s really cool!” Albana said. 

I was about 3 meters in the air flying upright while we were walking.

I practised going up and down quickly and having more precise control of the flying. 

I could also feel that it was starting to get easier to fly, and that it drained less energy. Not that I needed to worry about mana points, according to Butrint.

“Hey Albana,” I said.

“Yes?”

 “How many mana points do you have?”

“Oh, I have 1890 points.”

“Huh, that’s pretty high?”

“Yeah, but before meeting you I mostly just did healing magic and specialized in that, so it’s taking a lot of mana for me to get used to these new offensive spells.”

Just then, ahead of us, a pack of monster wolves came. 

We had gotten used to them by now, so they weren’t really a challenge, but that didn’t mean we could let out guard down. 

Albana already started chanting the second she saw them. 

While I was up in the air, I tried to see if I could use one hand to fire a spell while my other three limbs kept me up. 

I pointed my right arm towards the wolves and loaded up a Fireball, and then I lost balance and hit face first into the ground, and my Fireball shot off into the distance, completely missing the wolves.

Albana fired off her fireball and hit some of the wolves.

“Arben!” she said, rushing over to me.

 I had a couple of scratches and cuts on my face and arms, but I could sense them starting to regenerate immediately without any conscious thought. 

Seeing that, an idea entered my mind: If I train flying enough, then it should become an unconscious action like my regeneration?

“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” I said. 

I quickly loaded a fireball and killed the rest of the wolves heading towards us.

***

We called it a day and headed home. 

We had made 30 euros from that dungeon-dive, which was decent. 

Still, I needed 5000 euros to free Butrint. I then told Albana about the plans to free Butrint and start our own company.

“Huh…” she said.

“What is it?”

“Well… from the way you described Butrint last night, is he the type of person you can trust?”    

“Hey!” I said and grabbed her arm. 

Her comment really pissed me off. 

Butrint may have been a drug-abusing, brothel-frequenting unscrupulous businessman, but to me he was a dear friend and loyal fellow Dukagjinian. 

“Don’t talk like that about him bre, he helped you out too with that fake pass,” I said.

“Oh yeah, you’re right, sorry,” she said.

 I let go of her arm.

“Yeah, sorry about that. I didn’t mean to get mad,” I said.

“Oh, it’s fine. I know you’re a man, so sometimes you need to touch me roughly,” she said and looked up at me with a cheeky look. 

She sure was good at teasing me. And that comment made me expect great things to come tonight.

***

It’s the same dream again. I know what happens. I am flying above those two heads with dog ears on top of them. I am about to hear that scream again. What do I do? Oh yeah, simple solution: Using my feet to stabilize midair, I use my hands to create and throw a huge Waterball on them which incapacitates them. I can hear them coughing for air. I fly away.

I wake up hot and sweaty with Albana sleeping on top of me. 

I slide her off of me without waking her, and go to the bathroom to take a shower. 

“Oh yeah, I gotta meet with Butrint today,” I remember.

I go over to Albana to wake her up. 

“Hey zemra ime, let’s go do our dungeon dive now. I have to meet with Butrint later.”

She is laying on her stomach naked. She wakes and turns towards me. I start touching her flat chest while she’s talking.

“Hey zemra, actually, since we have the fake passes now, I was thinking we go join the adventurer guild and do some quests for today instead of going to the dungeon?”

“What’s an adventurer guild?”

“Oh right you don’t know, I keep forgetting. So an adventurer guild is a place where anyone can register themselves as independent contractors, and start accepting quests for pay, like gathering special materials, or slaying monsters in the forest. And the more of these quests that you do, the better quests you get offered to do.”

“Oh, that sounds good. Let’s do it right away,” I said.

***

The head office of the adventurer guild was near the center of Prishtina, but they also had a branch office near all the adventurer inns. 

We first ate some gjevrek at the furra near our inn, then headed to the guild nearby.

Inside the guild, there was a long line of desks filled with receptionists, and behind those desks there were a lot of office workers handling paperwork. 

The entire guild was 10 floors tall, and this was only the first floor.

As we entered the building, immediately a pretty receptionist ran over  and grabbed my arm.

“Hello, you are a new adventurer right?” she said.

    “Yeah, we are here to register,” I said, pointing over to Albana who had been completely ignored by the receptionist.

“Mire, mire!” she said, “Follow me!”

We went over to her desk. 

I looked over at the other receptionist and they were all hot, young women. 

I then took the time to study my receptionist: She was a brunette with sexy lips, long brown hair, and huge boobs.

“So what’s your names? And do you have any credentials with you? for example a pass“ she said.

“Yeah, here,” I said and we gave our fake passes. “

“My name is Arben,” I said.

“My name is Albana,” Albana said.

“Oh Arben! That’s such a handsome name,” she said, completely ignoring Albana. Albana put her arm around mine, and pressed her chest against it.

“You have some really cool swords! By the way, my name is Mimoza. I’ll be your advisor from now on. Now let’s get---”

“We’d like to register a party of two!“ Albana said. 

Mimoza glared at her.

“You would, huh? Well, which name should I register it as?”

“Dashnori i Arbenit,” Albana said.

“Huh? Well okay. Anyway, let me break down the system for you,” Mimoza said, leaning on her desk and showing me her cleavage. 

“You will each be given your adventurer cards with your ranks, names, and the party you are in. From now on you will come to me to get quests and guidance, and I will also be the one to update your cards and do other clerical tasks for your party. Now, what kind of quests would you like? Right now you are rank E and can only accept quests in that rank. As you complete more quests, you will be assigned points and have the option to rank up.”

“Do you have any quests where you have to gather rare materials in hard to reach places?”

“Oh, yes we do!” Mimoza said. 

She then gave me a piece of paper detailing the quest. 

“This one is to collect rare Purple Flowers, which only grows on the mountains north-east right outside Prishtina. The pay is 500 euros, but I wouldn’t actually recommend taking this quest since the amount of time and energy needed to reach the flowers isn’t worth the 500 euros…”

“We’ll take it,” I said. 

Mimoza looked confused, but Albana smiled.

“Oh, well, okay. Let me give you a quest to kill some goblins as well on the way to the mountains. Just make sure to bring back the goblin wrists and you will be paid 2 euros per wrist. Ehm, do you know how to identify Purple Flowers?” Mimoza asked me.

“Yes I do!” Albana said. 

The two girls gave each other death looks, and Albana squeezed herself onto me tighter, which felt nice.

“Hmpf. Okay. Well here’s is your adventurer cards,” she said. 

Mimoza then proceeded to walk up in front of her desk. 

She threw Albana’s card to her. 

She then grabbed my hands and placed my card in it. Then she hugged my arms and squeezed her huge boobs into them. I could hear Albana in the background gasping.

    “I am expecting great things from you,” Mimoza said, looking up at me with puppy eyes and making sure to angle her cleavage. I then felt her sneak a note into my pants while she let go of me.

***

“What a bitch!” Albana said while we were headed to the mountains. 

“Arben, you stay away from her! That kurve!“

 While Albana was talking, I was replaying the encounter with Mimoza. 

I really liked her huge boobs and lips. And her brown hair reminded me of Elvana. I especially liked it when she squeezed her boobs on me. 

They felt so soft. 

Whenever I am touching a woman’s soft body, I always get so relaxed. It’s like the sensations of femininity fill my brain up, and push out all the other stuff like worries and stress.

We encountered a group of goblins in front of us. 

It appeared we caught them by surprise, because as soon as they saw us they were shocked and hurried into formation. 

I loaded up a fireball to annihilate them.

“Wait stop!” Albana said. “We need the wrists or we won’t get the rewards.”

“Oh yeah, I forgot,” I said and stopped the fireball. 

I pulled out my dual longswords. I really hadn’t used them much because my Imagination Magic is way more effective.

Albana fired small Earth Bullets from behind while I went in and fought the goblin with the swords. 

The goblins themselves had small daggers and claws and clubs. But they were no match for me with dual swords. 

Actually, the swords themselves were pretty high quality. I noticed now how easily they cut through the goblins.

After the battle ended I harvested their wrists. I only got one cut on my arm but that quickly healed itself. And none of the goblins touched Albana.
