The Adventurer System

Yumiro annihilated all the monsters who attacked the woman while having an expedition inside the Barlane dungeon.

The total of Gobogren he got killed was 6, which means he needed to kill 19 monsters to achieved his goal in his quest.

He tapped her head by using his index finger. "Oi! Where's the dungeon boss here?" Yumiro hastily asked her.

Even though Hippie's eyes were still closed, she already heard a distorted voice not too far away from her.

As expected, he didn't receive any response from her. He was savvy to discover new information, so he was persistent in touching on her.

"Hey! Wake up, I already waste some of my time here just waiting for you." He barked closer to her ears.

Hippie slowly opened her blue eyes. She then barely lifted her head. Seeing a young man that had silver-white hair kneeling next to her.

She crawled back but eventually stopped. As her back hit the dungeon wall. However, she immediately recognized this man since it was the last face he could see before she passed out.

"Eh, sorry for the startled." She bowed her head to sincerely apologize and also thanking him for saving her. "Thank you for saving me, I didn't expect someone like you would save me."

Or to be simple, she couldn't help to look down on this man. As there's no something special with this man since all his equipment is a common type.

'What I'm thinking? This man saved me, there's no reason to judge his ability by just based on his items' She uttered to her mind.

"Inventory!" As she promised, Hippie took her 100 golds coins. "This is my appreciation for saving me, here--"

Bam!

The brown pouch unexpectedly fell to the ground and rapidly blinking her eyes in surprise.

"G-Grim Draigh?" She stammered.

Seemingly Hippie had seen his brutal duel with Orlan. It couldn't help to think that there's a chance this man would PK him.

"This is the last time, I'll say it. Where's the dungeon boss here?" Yumiro said in a cold tone?

Even Yumiro wasn't glaring at Hippie, but Hippie was terrified at him.

"Y-You already kill them, the monsters had a giant body." She replied with a shivered eyes and lips.

The dungeon boss she was talking about was the Gobogren. As its strength and speed were double than her basic stats. But the main reason why she called it the dungeon boss because it had a red screen name.

He deeply sighed, as he wasted his time for nothing. However, to have some benefits he took the brown pouch on the ground.

'This woman fool me.' He clicked his tongue, then turned in the endpoint of this path. He planned to leave without saying anything.

Hippie was dumbfounded at him, and couldn't stop her body from the tremendous trembling. She thought she offended this man because of her action. So she apologized to him even she was terrified.

"Oi! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I'm just surprised that I could see a strong adventurer here." To pay back for what she had done, she complimented him.

Yumiro tilted his head, then coldly took a glance at him. "Next time, don't go in the place alone if the monster there is out of your range." He warned her because he wanted it.

She stood up, then promptly sauntered closer to him. "I didn't go here alone. My party members that I just meet in the portal earlier suddenly abandoned me. They just used me as bait so they can easily escape." Her voice was started to become weaker and weaker while telling the true story.

It caught his scrutiny, so he stopped from his pace. "Is that so? What do you want me to do?"

She hurriedly shook her head along with her hands. "No, no, no, I didn't mean for that. I'm just saying the reason why I drowned in this perilous place."

"You should focus to strengthen yourself, so you can't rely on having party members."

In the VR world, Yumiro understood just to save their accounts. People never hesitate to kill one adventurer or more. In a short time, he was playing this VR game "Betrayal" was an ordinary occurrence here.

"Thank you for your advice, Grim Draigh. I'll always keep it inside my mind. Honestly, I'm just new to this game, so it's a big opportunity for me to have such good advice for someone like you." The tense she felt earlier was easily faded away, as she started to have a proper conversation with Grim.

"Inventory." Yumiro didn't know the exact reason, but he gave her sympathy to this woman. So he fetched the brown pouch and one Kobold's knife.

Bam!

As soon as its landed, Hippie's eyelids were widened. She then quickly looking at him with her curious eyes.

"Eh? What's the meaning of this? I'm saying those words not to fool you. I'm just saying the truth."

It was true, Hippie had no intention to fool him neither ulterior motives. She was just an honest person that saying all the words that popped inside her head.

"What are you saying? I don't need your gold and obviously, you don't have any weapon out there." Yumiro responded nonchalantly.

Seemingly when the moment Hippie was chasing by those monsters. She abruptly dropped her weapon to last long and increased her speed.

"B-But this knife is a valuable item, I can't understand why are you giving me such an item?" She raised her right hand along with a knife that had a green blade and leather dark green handle. Or to be specific, its color was like camouflage.

Based on her knowledge and experience buying and selling some items. The kobold's knife was worth of 10,000 to 15,000 thousand gold coins.

"I had no business with that item. Inventory." Yumiro showed the remaining Kobold's knife in his hands. "You see, I had so much knife here."

Nevertheless, Hippie was persistent to give back the golds coins and the knife. "This is the only thing I can give for saving me, please accept my gratitude."

"It seemed you're still not satisfied with what I showed to you. Inventory!" To stop her, he took out the Kariki knife and Grete sword. It was his elemental weapons that supposedly had a big value.

Her jaw was slacked, as she seeing two valuable weapons in a certain place. 'That knife is worth of 150,000 gold coins and the t-that sword is range 160 to 170 gold coins. This man is rich.'

"Yeah, I should hide this. Inventory." Hippie noticed her gift was just a small fry for Grim.

Yumiro secretly chortled. "If you understand, I have to go. You can use it or sell it." He turned and a few planning to leave the place.

Somehow, Hippie was a level 25 adventurer. So it was worth it if she comes along to Grim Draigh that level 20.

"Thank you so much for all your gifts and this item. I know this is too much, but can I join with your expedition?! I'm planning to participate in the upcoming Guild selection. I know I can learn a lot of things if come with you." Hippie requested, as having a party with popular rookie was a good opportunity.

"What is your class?" Moreover, Grim had a reason why he entertained this woman.

"We are in the same class, I belong to the swordsman class." Hippie quickly responded.

"Eh, I'm not a swordsman. I'm a brawler." Yumiro replied.

Hippie chuckled as she thought this man was making fun of her. "Grim Draigh, you make me laugh. It's impossible for a man that carrying numerous blades belonged to the brawler class."

Yumiro deeply sighed once again. "Why is it always so hard to make you believe?"

Hearing her chuckled, he remembered Amiya chuckled. When the moment he said to Amiya, Alison wanted him to be part of their guild.

[Physical transmission]

He loosened his calmness, as he already gathered some of his strength on his left hand. Then punched the pillar next to him.

Boom!

It shook the place, and the pillar was started to collide. In just one punch, Hippie's mindset was changed.

Both of them were enveloped by brown dust. Yet, Yumiro still asked her. "Which class do I belong to?"

"Brawler class!" She immediately replied.

Hippie knew it was impossible for a swordsman class to have that so much power unless it had a high level.

'He's lying, that sword, and knives are useless for him.' She uttered to her mind.

...

"Grim Draigh, please accept me with your party." Hippie requested.

In his mind, the swordsman class is his second class. So if this woman tag along with him, he could some ideas about how he should wield his sword.

'If I continue watching her, probably I can acquire new skills.'

To wouldn't waste his time, he opened his function screen. Then invited Hippie without thinking too much.

[Grim Draigh invited you to become a party member? Yes/ No]

She stared at him with meaningful eyes. "Yes! I will happily accept it!"
