Reincarnated in a VRMMO: I'll be the strongest

Chapter 7: Adventurer Guild

When I entered the adventurer guild, people were sparsely coming and going. They were probably all adventurers.

I headed to the reception counter, ignoring them.

When I arrived at the counter, a woman with cat ears spoke to me.

Welcome nyah! Can I help you nyah?

Oh. A cat person.

Various races exist in this world. One of them is the cat person in front of me.

On her head were cat ears that looked like they would feel nice to touch.

I remember this race was top class in popularity, and many players chose it.

Um, I want to become an adventurer.

What! Do you mean you want to become one, nyah?

Yes.

...

...?

What is it? She suddenly went silent.

The cat woman stared at me up and down.

As if she was on guard?

Is something wrong?

No, it is nothing nyah. Then please wait a moment while I register you as an adventurer nyah.

Yes.

What was that pause about?

I felt like her mood suddenly dropped.

Maybe my appearance is strange.

But it didn't seem that way.

After waiting a moment, the woman brought a silver plate and handed it to me.

This is your adventurer card nyah. It is essential to prove you are an adventurer, so please do not lose it nyah.

I see.

But when I looked closely at the silver plate, nothing was written on it.

It was just a thin plate.

There is nothing written.

Put a drop of your blood on it nyah.

I will try.

I bit my finger and pressed the blood against the silver plate.

Then...

Oh! Letters appeared.

That is your information nyah. Your level and such will be displayed there, so you should check it often nyah.

I see.

So this is the status screen.

―――――――――――――――

Zest

Rank: F

Level 1

STR: 5 (+10)

VIT: 3 (+10)

INT: 2 (+10)

AGI: 5 (+10)

DEX: 4 (+10)

―――――――――――――――

Oh. So this is my current status.

As expected, my level is 1.

The +10 to all stats is a reincarnation bonus.

It is only +10 now, but apparently the amount increases as I level up.

You can also learn skills with that adventurer card nyah. You should check it when your level goes up nyah.

Hmm, hmm.

Well, I am familiar with this system, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Next I will explain about ranks nyah. Ranks go from F to S nyah. Everyone who becomes an adventurer for the first time starts at F nyah.

How do I raise my rank?

Basically, your evaluation goes up by completing request quests nyah. It also goes up by hunting monsters nyah. Other than that, your rank increases as you are evaluated on your overall performance nyah.

I see.

In short, I just need to complete quests and hunt monsters relentlessly.

But please be aware that you cannot accept requests at F rank nyah.

Huh? Why is that?

Basically, you can start accepting requests from E rank nyah. So at first, you have no choice but to hunt monsters nyah.

I see.

So you need to be strong enough to hunt a fair number of monsters to gain trust.

Well, I was planning to hunt monsters anyway. I will just focus on hunting for a while.

That is all for the explanation nyah.

Understood. Then I will go hunt some monsters.

Ah.

Huh?

Just as I was about to move, she stopped me.

...

...?

What is it now? The way she looks at me is strange.

Um, is there something else?

No, it is nothing nyah.

Hmm.

Well, whatever. I will leave quickly.

But what was that look about anyway?

It wasn't like she was looking down on me.

It also wasn't like she was uneasy.

Hmm...

...

Ah, I see.

That look was...

A look of pity.
