Nolan and Serena walk side by side on the side of the road. Nolan is a bit middle of the road.
Nolan saw 1 copper coin on the ground. He is happy and felt like it was his lucky day. When he looked down he heard a scream from behind.
After taking the coin, Nolan wanted to look back. But only when he looked to the side, a horse quickly passed in front of Nolan's face by a finger's width.
*(Swisssh)
For a split second, Nolan didn't panic, e even had time to think. 'As wide as a hair huh, I'm cool'. Followed by the melodious sound of the wind.
But after the horse passed, it was followed by horse dung which made Nolan was shocked. Imagining it looked at Nolan and said. "Hello, Moth*r F*ckerrr".
"..."
'fcckkk'
...
After the horse moves forward a little.
"Move over, this is an emergency situation." A driver shouted and with a hasty expression drove forward.
Serena saw this and said. "Are you okay, young master?".
Nolan looked at Serena, then looked at the coin he had picked up and said, "Well this is almost my lucky day."
You may not believe it, but this future ruler of the world was almost killed by a horse.
'Does this world hate handsome, brave and kind men?' Nolan whispered. 'Or is it the legendary FINAL DESTINATION?'.
So during the journey or about every 10 -20 steps, Nolan would look wherever he could that could get him in trouble. This continued on and on.
*In Nolan's view
When in front of the fruit shop. 'The fruit might break and hit me. Makes me explode too'.
When in a bakery. 'There might be a bomb in the bread, like in the movie'.
When in front of a clothes shop. 'Will this dress bring me down and then strangle me?'.
When at the jewelry store. 'Maybe the jewel will give off a sparkle, shoot me with light?'.
...
When Nolan is skeptical about life and observes around. Serena, who saw Nolan's behavior, just smiled and laughed. "Hihihi~".
Making people around him melt with her soft laugh.
Serena laughed, come closer and hugging Nolan's hand. Closing eyes, said. "Everything is fine. It's okay, Nolan".
"!!!!"
Serena was shocked by her own words. "Sorry young master, I was rude."
"No, Serena. I'm not your young master anymore. You are Serena and only Sere-..".
Serena cut him off. "That's Serena Bloodfallen is the beautiful and cute, young master".
Serena cut him off. "That's the beautiful and sweet Serena Bloodfallen, young master."
"Y-yes, the beautiful and sweet Serena Bloo-.. That's not the point girl. I mean you're not a servant in the manor now. You are you. A free person. A friend of someone named Nolan Osiris".
"Young masteerrrrr". Serena with sparkling eyes, but immediately turned neutral, and continued. "There's a fierce person behind you, Nolan."
'You change so fast, girl'. Nolan felt the situation was not the same as expected, looked back and saw the figure of Balmond.
"Hey you two, enough being lovey-dovey. You guys are blocking the guild entrance. If you're a guy, rent a room in the VIP room and beat her up".
"Sorry, uncle". Nolan apologizes.
"I'm still in my 30s. And I'm not your uncle". He shouted.
He went down the street and disappeared.
Nolan looked up and saw the shop.
Unaware, finally arrived at their intended destination. A shop with the symbol of two crossed swords.

"So your plan is to join the adventurer's guild, Nolan?".
"Yes, this is one of the desires of young people and a man".
Serena just stared and nodded in agreement.
They both entered and headed towards the guild counter.
"Oh new person. Let me introduce myself, I'm Floryn. Staff member here. Is there anything I can help you with?". A girl with extraordinary assets asked.
"Size-..". Nolan stopped.
"What do you mean, sir?". Floryn confused.
"Ah i mean, sister and i want to register in the guild". Nolan sweatdropped.
"Okay, you can pay 100 bronze coins per person.". Floryn said.
...
1000 bronze coins equal 1 silver coin. And 1000 silver coins equal 1 gold coin.
They both registered and filled out the registration form. The paper only contained name, gender, age, and a brief description of abilities.
Name : Nolan Osiris
Gender : male
Age : 16 years old
Description : A novice swordsman. Expert in defeating enemies.
Name : Serena Bloodfallen
Gender : female
Age : 15 years old (new body) *(Even the author doesn't believe in this age)
Description : A novice hunter. Expert in tracking and hunting.
After a while of waiting and verification. The guild staff came from inside the room and called the two of them.
"This is your card, for new members it will always be at rank F."
Floryn pointed to the mission board and said. "There you choose the mission and bring it here".
"If you have successfully completed 50 quests according to your rank or 20 quests above your rank by joining another group. You can apply for a level up which will be tested by our guild staff.
Oh and if this card is lost and you want to make a new one, you have to notify the guild and pay 10x the amount. So are there any questions?".
Nolan asked. "How are we proven to have completed the quest?".
"You can take the ears of the monsters you hunt and show the settlement letter from the employer who hired you."
"Are there any more questions?". Staff guild asked.
"For now, no, Miss Floryn. Then I will choose the mission. Wait a moment." Nolan said.
Nolan walked to the mission board and selected the quest to find the medicinal plant Daruka. It is usually used for mixing potions.
"Please confirm this mission, Miss Floryn." Nolan said.
"of course, Quest to find Daruka medicine. For every multiple of 10, you will be rewarded with 2 silver coins. For the picture of the plant, I will bring the medicine book in a moment". Floryn replied and immediately took a thick book behind her.
The book was so thick, it was hard to believe he was able to lift it and even memorize where the drug information was located.
"Wow you're amazing, Miss Floryn." Nolan praised.
"Hehe. Don't underestimate the guild staff, sir Nolan.". Floryn smiled proudly. "Here's a picture of it, found in random places but often seen in places where there is flowing water".
"Noted. Thank you, Miss Floryn.Then we'll both go." Nolan walks away.
"Wait, since you guys are new. I'll tell you guys, don't go near the Northern forest. There's news that a unique monster is attacking. This is a stern warning for newbies". Floryn said.
"A unique monster huh, okay. Thank you again, Miss Floryn". Nolan waved his hand and leaves.
Miss Floryn waved them off. "A swordsman without sword and a beautiful hunter huh, I hope nothing happens to them. The guild is in an uproar over this unique monster. Alright, back to work".
***
Nolan and Serena go to the shop and buy some potions. Of course Nolan didn't want to go to the Umbrella shop.
After that, they proceeded to purchase a map of this area.
Outline, this continent is called the Dragonian continent. Raccoon City is included in the Valerion kingdom, which is to the west of the continent.
To the north is the kingdom of Frostlana. The land of ice as the name suggests.
To the right of the Valerion kingdom, there is the Aspanoid kingdom and below it is the Dandelion country. They are both adjacent to the Valerion kingdom.
To the east is the sacred kingdom of Kastia.
And to the south is the warrior kingdom Kinghold.
In total there are 6 kingdoms on the Dragonian continent.
There are other continents, but that's another discussion.
...
"So where are we going, Nolan?" Serena asked.
"You changed so fast Serena, but I don't hate it". Nolan responded. "We're going to the east gate of the city. We'll search around the Teraserct forest".
"Of course".
...
They both walked towards the east gate.
The Raccoon city has 3 gates. The main gates are located on the North and South sides. And the east gate which has a smaller width. Making it easier to defend in case of a wild creature attack.
In the West of Raccoon City there is a forest swamp filled with poisonous creatures. It is the territory of water creatures like a crocodile and some small flying creatures. This is one of the most hated places for female adventurers.
Whether it is because of the crocodiles there or something else I don't know. However, women are unconsciously close to this type of swamp creature, but at the same time they also hate it.
Then, south of Raccoon City there is a rocky area that is the habitat of lizards and some monsters fly like a wyvern. Linking some of the wyverns there as descendants of dragons
Beside the city there is also a Teraserct forest that runs from the east to the north. It is a habitat for ferocious monsters.
And in the northern area there is a terrace forest along with ruins where it is said that there was once a large kingdom. So there are often Undead creatures that appear there.
So their goal now was the Teraserct forest to the east.
The adventure finally begins guys.
