As looked at the soldiers and answered the question, ''''I''m meant to be guarding a bridge alongside other adventurers.''''


    The man nodded with a knowing smile as he revealed some good news, ''''I know the quest. Thanks to the guild manager, it was pushed back until midday tomorrow due to half the adventurers signing up to try out the new dungeon you discovered.''''


    After that, As left the dungeon behind, wanting to find food and rest until the quest started tomorrow. He exited the cave, which led onto a mountainside overlooking a massiveke below. Find adventures at m_v l|e-NovelBin


    ''This world is beautiful,'' he mused with a smile as he admired thendscape.


    The mountains stretched out as far as the eyes could see, and the natural smell of earth and water reached his nose. As noticed the forest that encircled theke and continued through a pass to the north.


    As As admired the breathtaking view, a sense of tranquility enveloped him. However, a memory of an old friend from the orphanage resurfaced—a friend who had once brought him both joy and a tinge of heartache.


    ''Atleast Sierra got a loving family to adopt her,'' he thought with a sad smile.


    The recollection made him smile wistfully, a bittersweet reminder of the past. A girl who he grew extremely close to but was adopted before they could get serious as the feeling was mutual between the two.


    As shook his head and decided not to think about it, as it would only bring back those depressing thoughts. He then went to the guild along the cliffside tforms until he reached the city''s outskirts.


    Once, as As strolled down the main street, he noticed the number of adventurers and soldiers around had increased twofold since arriving at Tajariyah City. ''Has something happened?'' he thought as he saw the guild in the distance.


    Afterward, he made his way toward it and entered the busy building. As nced around and noticed a poster near the entrance. He approached it and spotted himself staring back, which confused him.


    ''The Achaemenidians already got the word out? That was fast,'' he pondered while reading the wanted poster.


    That''s when As discovered the empire was offering two tinum coins for his capture, which made him gulp, ''Oh shit, they want me that much, eh? Well, let''s start the cat and mouse game.''


    Following that, there was recent information that the Demon Dahaka was in Tajariyah City after escaping the Nightowls through the Titan''s Fist Forest: ''They are right behind me. Maybe I should move on afterpleting thest quest?''


    Once he had made up his mind, he approached the counter. An older woman was tending to paperwork when she looked up and greeted him, ''''Hello, young one. I''m Khatereh. How can I help you?''''


    ''''I''m here to report two questpletions; they called the Missing Scouts and The Forbidden Quarry,'''' As answered with a smile.


    Khatereh nced at him with wide eyes as her jaw dropped open. Then, she shook her head topose herself and inquired, ''''Are you the Silver Demon? The boy who discovered the Level Two dungeon?''''


    As was shocked but nodded, ''''Yes, but I just came from there. How do you know?''''


    "News spreads quickly in Tajariyah, particrly with the Dahaka lurking in the city. Everyone''s on high alert and more attuned to rumors," Khatereh exined.


    Khatereh shook her head before getting back on track, ''''Can I have your guild card so I can mark off the quests? The Scouts reported that you helped them escape while the guards had already sent us a message about your achievement with the dungeon.''''


    As nodded while handing over the ck card. She smiled before putting it in a machine and typing something. Seconds passed before Khatereh handed it back, ''''Here you go, Azhar''Zul. Once youplete twenty more quests, you can take the guild test to be a Rank G adventurer.''''


    After speaking, she gave him the two gold and sixty silver forpleting the quests, which As thanked her for, ''''Okay, thank you for the information, Khatereh; what about the Skybridge Protection Detail? Is that still happening tomorrow at midday?'''' he questioned in a curious tone.


    ''''Yes. Report to the western square tomorrow, and the soldiers will take you to the construction area,'''' Khatereh answered with a smile before returning to her work but remembered something, ''''When you return from your quest tomorrow, we will sort out your reward for the dungeon discovery once the adventurers and guild staff verified it.


    After that, As thanked the woman before returning to the Hosseini''s Family Inn, where he stayed to get some rest. While walking down the road, he removed his helmet but kept the rest on.


    He started thinking about all the battles he had been in and realized he had grown a lot since getting kidnapped by the empire. As chuckled at his luck before spotting a spellbook but stopped walking.


    ''Do I need another? Let me check my current attack spells,'' he said, starting to think about his magic.


    [Level 3: Void Bullet: Explodes on impact, causing extra damage to the target - 30% extra damage and speed]


    ''This is mymon attack spell, its thirty percent stronger since I first used it.'' As thought before moving on to the next one.


    [Level 3: Void Arrow: Pierces through the target by focusing extra mana on the tip of the arrow - 30% extra damage and speed]


    ''My armor-breaking spell, this is useful to fight against heavily armored knights or soldiers.''


    [Level 2: Void st: Fires a vtile st of void magic that does triple the damage to the Void Bullets and double the Void Arrows - 20% extra damage and speed]


    ''This has been extremely helpful since learning,'' As pondered before checking thest attack spell he had.


    [Level 2: Void Wave: Sends out a wave of void magic that damaged the enemy and gives you space - 20% damage and speed]


    Following that, he checked thest two spells.


    [Level 3: Void Guard: Brings up an azure shield that protects you from attacks - 30% durability and speed]


    [level 3: Void Step: Allow you to teleport to a space you can see - 30% faster]


    ''It won''t hurt to see if they sell any void spells,'' As thought while entering the shop.


    When stepping inside, he quickly noticed the ce was old as ayer of dust covered the shelves, ''Doesn''t the owner clean this ce?''


    While ncing around the store, an old man''s voice reached his ears, causing them to twitch, ''''The young man who disguises himself, what brings you here? I''m the owner of this establishment, Mehrdad.''''


    He stiffened when hearing this and grabbed the hilt of his sword, but the old man appeared behind the counter as he continued, ''''No need to feel threatened, young one, what happens in the shops stays in the shop.''''


    As surveyed the man with bushy grey hair and a long beard draped in mage robes. After a moment, he shook his head slightly and asked, "Do you have any void spells for sale?"


    Mehrdad chuckled. '''' This is an old magic that no one has been able to use in many generations. There are only a handful of void spellbooks left on Valoria,'''' he said.


    ''''Many other sellers have told me this but end up having a few in storage,'''' As replied with a knowing smile.


    Once he had finished speaking, Mehrdad startedughing before walking into the backroom without saying anything. Five minutester, the old man returned carrying three books and ced them on the counter.


    ''''We have Void Barrage, Void Bomb, and Void Flight,'''' Mehrdad informed him with a tired smile. The third spell can only be used by Grandmasters.''''


    As''s smile grew wider as he touched the three books to get the basic information from the system.


    [Level 3: Void Barrage: Unleashes dozens of void beams that strike a wide area and inflict damage to your targets - Cost: 200 Mana]


    [Level 3: Void Bomb: A bomb that unleashes a catastrophic explosion of vtile void magic that is capable of dealing great damage to your target - Cost: 600 Mana]


    [Level 4: Void Flight: Allows you to soar through the skies and maneuver like a bird - Cost: 3000 Mana]


    ''These are brilliant spells,'' As thought with a greedy smile. ''I can use the first two, but I must wait until I can fly.''


    Following that, he looked at Mehrdad, ''''How much for all three?''''


    The old man got an excited glint in his gold eyes, ''''I will do all three for 15 gold coins, young man. I purchased them for 10, and I need to make a profit,'' he revealed the price.


    As took out all the gold he had and gave it to the shopkeeper before sucking the spellbook into his Dimensional Storage, ''''Thanks for the spells, old man; if I need anymore, I will return here,'''' he said.


    Afterward, he left the shop and headed for the inn; it took him ten minutes to reach the entrance and step through, only to see every table full of adventurers and travelers, which annoyed him.


    That''s when he heard someone call his voice, ''''As! Come to the counter, boy!''''


    As nced in the direction of the voice and stopped the owner, Mitra, alongside a tall bald man. He approached the duno as the older woman introduced the stranger, ''''As, this is my husband, Babak.''''


    She turned to the man and continued, ''''This is little As I told you about. It''s just been announced that he discovered a Level Two dungeon; it''s all the adventurers have been discussing.''''
