Home sweet home
Three people stood in the middle of a room. The first was a bald, elderly man with a scar running down his left eye, keeping it closed. He had a grey moustache and was dressed in the magic officer's attire—black robes—and wearing a black cape.The second was a young man in his early teens, with blonde hair and green eyes. He had runic markings on his neck and stood with a blank expression. He too was dressed in black robes, but he wore no cape.The third was a man who looked to be in his sixties, with grey hair and a long grey beard. He was covered in the most intricate, royal attire, with golden accents adorned throughout. A thick robe dragged across the floor behind him. He wore different rings on all ten of his fingers. The last man stood at an open window on the far left of the room, simply gazing out with his thick, grey eyebrows drooping slightly.This man was King Libar Augustus: reigning and only king of Eden since its creation over a thousand years ago.The room they stood i
Noah Triggerlin
Noah sat on the floor, reliving the past forty-eight hours in his head.He'd been dragged to a level six dungeon, forced to face an Ogre that was beyond classification by all measures, somehow survived that encounter, got the codex, awakened unique magic, killed an Ogre, and survived the king's decree.He looked at his knuckles, now aware that he had the ability to take lives with the swipe of his hand.Here in the slums, no one cared if you died. If he was some sicko with a weird kink, he could go on a killing spree and become the ruler of the slums.“Slumking.” Noah scoffed, and then laughed. “That'd be lame.“ He then took off his blood-stained clothes and shoes—the same ones he'd gotten from the station—and set them aside. Sitting comfortably in his underwear, he picked up the mouldy bread the freeloaders left behind.“Codex,” he called out, taking a bite.The two runic characters appeared in front of him.“What are the other pending tasks?“ asked Noah.To his own knowledge, the

Denki Von Viktor
Noah held his fists in front of him, eyes locked with the towering wizard ten meters away. He'd never fought a wizard before. This would be tricky.At this distance, Noah's explosions wouldn't reach Viktor—his current kit was painfully effective only at close range. But that tall, menacing bastard was able to manipulate the entire street in all directions like it was a sheet of cloth. What the hell kind of magic lets you do that?“Kinky Von Dicky!“ yelled Noah. “I don't know what those naked bastards told you about me, but they were the ones who tried to steal from me! I only defended myself.“The calculating stare on Viktor's face remained. “It's Denki Von Viktor, slumrat!“ His eyes never left Noah's. “And I'm not here because of these two morons. I'm here for you, Noah fucking Triggerlin.“Sweat ran down Noah's face.Here for him!?—Why!?Why does he know who he is? And why is he saying his name like that?“What the fuck do you want, you freaky wizard!?“ yelled Noah. Viktor stoo
Recruitment
Guilds existed throughout Eden.They, like everything else, were classified into levels, depending on the number of members, as well as the level of each member.However, guild levels weren't like those of wizards and Ogres.There were no level one or level two guilds. If the collective aggregate of all your members was level two or lower, then you couldn't be a guild.Guilds had to be at the very least, level three and above.This was done to ensure that any request for Ogre extermination up to a level three Ogre could be handled by all guilds.Because of this ironclad rule, groups of people that intended to form their own guild but were simply too weak either disbanded or joined with people stronger than they were. And soon, guilds started becoming stronger and bigger, each boasting an impressive number of members and ability.After this, a ranking system was formed, keeping track of each guild and how strong they were.The strongest of these guilds, ranked number one, was the Righ
Greyhedge
Noah stared at the bed in front of him like he was looking at pure gold.After his fight with Viktor and accepting his offer to join Greyhedge, Viktor healed him of all the lost blood using a spell, took him to a hotel somewhere outside the slums, and paid for him to stay the night. Once he'd paid for the hotel, Viktor left Noah alone in the reception area—a place twelve times nicer than anywhere in the slums—and returned with some clothes.Actual clothes.Not repurposed rags or patchwork fabrics. He bought the kind of authentic clothes that normal people wore—two shirts, two pants, a robe, and some springy, breathable black sandals.And then he handed Noah a small pouch, spoke to the manager, and left the hotel, with his last words to Noah being “Behave yourself, you slumrat.“Afterwards, Noah was led to a room upstairs that was nearly three times as big as his house. He stared at it, like he was looking at pure gold.Not only was it large, but it had two separate layers of fabric
Lyvern Vs Noah
The moment Noah pushed the doors open and took one step inside, everyone in the entire room turned to him and stared in silence.The place looked like a tavern, with different people seated at tables and some at the reception counter, all with their eyes on Noah.It was like a deer walked into a cave full of wolves.Then something metallic and cylindrical slowly pressed against the side of Noah's head. He heard a click sound.A voice came from beside him.“Who the fuck are you?“[Emergency task issued][Pending task: Defeat the wizard holding a weapon pointed at your head][Task description: You must subdue the strange wizard that has appeared before you. Whether or not you keep him alive is up to you][Reward: 200 EP][Penalty if task is incomplete: Nil][Time remaining to complete task: 59 seconds]“Well fuck me,” Noah said under his breath.Of all the times for him to get an emergency task.The metal cylinder pressed against the side of his head harder. “You got shit in your ears? I
Joining Greyhedge
In the next instant, before Lyvern finished looking in that direction, Noah's fist blades were inches away from slashing his throat.Viktor's hands snapped into his hand sign. “Deadness!“Noah instantly slammed into the floor and sank halfway, right before he took off Lyvern's head.Simultaneously, Lyvern instantly sank into the floor too, till it was just his head sticking out. His gun sank with him before he could fire.“That's enough, you two,” said Viktor. “If I hadn't stopped you two dumbasses, you'd both be dead or at least seriously injured!” he snapped at them.Noah, with half of his face sinking into the floor, raised his head and looked at Lyvern. “I would've chopped off what's left of those eyebrows if Viktor hadn't saved you!“Lyvern's eyebrow twitched. “Oh please, ya fuck wad! I would've blown you straight to heaven before you did jack shit! Viktor saw that, and that's why he stopped me!“ “Would you both shut up!?“ said Viktor.They both gave each other death glares.Vik
Wizard exam
And there,” Emilia said, scribbling down the last detail on the bottom of the form. “You're now officially an adventurer.“Noah's face lit up. “Wait, seriously?““Yep.“ Emilia smiled. “Welcome to Greyhedge.“Noah smirked. “I'm an adventurer…” he said with wanderlust.She nodded. “Yep. The processing might take a couple of days, but as far as registration goes…” She reached under the counter and pulled out a telegraft.Noah flinched.“You're a registered adventurer under Greyhedge,” she said, sticking the form into a slit at the top of the device.The paper slowly sank into it, and then the runes on the telegraft lit up.A few seconds later, a ding came from the telegraft, and the paper came back out with the royal emblem printed on it—an image of a golden wolf.Emilia grabbed the paper and opened a drawer by the side of the desk. Then she started sorting files and looking for a place to slot the document into.Noah sighed. He'd done it. He'd finally become an adventurer; he was one s
Departure?
Noah lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling with a dagger in his hand.After leaving Viktor's office, Emilia was waiting outside the door like she hadn't just tried to throw him under the bus minutes after meeting him. Then she offered him some ice for his eye.When he rejected it, she simply tore the bag open and started chewing them, and then gave him directions to where he'd be sleeping from now on.The Greyhedge guild had the ground floor and the floor above it, along with a large basement Noah was told about. On the ground floor was the common area, where Noah had fought Lyvern. But that didn't make up the entire ground floor. Also on the ground floor was the kitchen to the right. And to the left was the guest bathroom and storage room, with a staircase between them leading to the top floor.On the floor above was where all the rooms were.There was a long hallway that diverged into paths in either direction. At the end of that hallway sat Viktor's office, and directly opposite
