Chapter 4 by Starlight_Lewdstar Starlight_Lewdstar

Now, what's your first destination?

The adventurer's guild, of course! (p)

Well, where else would you go other than the adventurer's guild?
It's still early in the day, so everything else can wait, right? You can start working for your dream job straight away!

But... where exactly would it be? {if Dalli's Advice = true} Dalli might have said something about it, but you didn't catch all of it.{endif} You're pretty sure it's close to the tower, why wouldn't it?
And so you get started heading straight towards it.

Walking through the streets, you see all sorts of things around you, street stalls like you'd see at festivals back home, just littering the place, stores of all kinds, with weapons, armour, clothes, prettier clothes, food, and all of the price tags make your wallet hurt, to be honest.
The fantastic smell of street food tickles your stomach and you're tempted to have an early breakfast right there, but you can't let yourself be distracted from your goal, and once again, your lacking wallet won't be much happier if you started spending now.

Feeling a little unsure if you're heading in the right direction, you stop to ask someone about where to find the adventurer's guild.
"What d'ya mean adventurer's guild? Which one?" the gruff-looking man dressed as a sailor asks you, raising an eyebrow. "Ah, you're new, eh?"

"Well, if yar looking for the big one, it's called the Opolous Guild, and it's down that way." he says, pointing down one road with his thumb, not waiting for you to reply. "All I can say is good luck, girl." after saying that, he goes back to his work of sorting some crates.

You're not entirely sure why, but his words seemed a little ominous. You brush it off as just a feeling and make your way to the guild.
Not long after, you realize the meaning behind his words.

The Opolous Guild was a thoroughly impressive building. It was massive, as big as a small village on its own and three stories tall,
As you nervously step through the front doors, thinking that all of your adventurer dreams were about to come true, cold hard reality strikes you.

"I apologize, but only C rank adventurers and above are allowed to join the Opolous Guild. If you wish to sign up as an adventurer, you must either go to a smaller guild to register as a F rank, or take a special test with the recommendation of an A rank or another trusted beneficiary." the expressionless and immaculately dressed woman at the reception desk greeted you with that. "If you are a C rank adventurer, I apologize for the misunderstanding."

Your dreams... slightly injured, but it's fine. It makes sense you can't get into the big leagues immediately, right? You just have to work your way up... but, where should you go to register then?
"I apologize, but it would be a breach of conduct if I recommend any specific guild as that would be seen as an official endorsement of the Opolous Guild, which is prohibited by the Fair Trade Practices act. I can give you this list of valid guilds, however, arranged in no particular manner *ahem*. If someone approaches you to join a guild not on this list, consider it a scam or an illegal organisation and seek the aid and advice of the nearest guard."

Holding back a sigh, you can only leave robotically after thanking her.
Standing outside the guild, you have this sinking feeling in your stomach... what are you supposed to do now?

What's your next step?

More fun
