Ricky instantly turned around and began to hurry away from the scene. Within seconds the surrounding was not visible to Daniel, Stella and the angry creatures that banged on the door of the cage.
Crack!
The wooden lock of the cage final shattered leaving the door to open easily for the beast which jumped out of it immediately like they were happy to be free
“Let use the spark burst skill.” Stella’s voice ranged in Daniel’s head like she talked directly into his brain, this was the effect of the though share
“Good idea.” Daniel replied almost immediately with his gaze fixed on the flame devil which slowly advanced toward him while the metal foot for Stella
“Spark burst activate.” Daniel shouted in his heart hoping that Claudius, his tentadrone will hear his call.
Instantly, a hive of golden fireflies appeared in front of the flame devil which instantly got distracted and began to chase them. Stella on the other hand also did the same and successfully distracted the creature which was now trying to cage all the fireflies into its mouth.
Boom!!
The creatures which were happily feasting on the fireflies exploded within an instant splattering their cold blood around the surrounding. The fireflies immediately disappeared leaving Daniel and Stella tied to the tree.
[Congratulations host you just completed your first mission and I will give you your reward as promised]
“Thank you so much Claud but, you said one large beast and these one are small.” Daniel screamed in his heart almost jumping himself out of the tight rope which spiraled around him

Daniel heaved a loud sign upon seeing the newly installed skills, but most of all it gave him something that could be very useful to him in his current situation, the ‘Fire spray’
Daniel instantly activated the Fire spray skill on a part of the rope and successfully activated it. The rope instantly dropped on the ground releasing both him and Stella who instantly jumped off and untied the gag from their mouth
“Ahh, so good to hear my voice.” Daniel sigh staring into the sky of green leaves and brown branches
“Yeah, but we have to get out of here first,” Stella walked around the scene staring to all four directions “But the problem is how do we know the way out of here.”
“Easy, Roger walked straight.” Daniel instantly began to run toward that path while Stella followed behind him curiously.
After walking a long distance, they reached a large bronze door with a lock-wheel which were connected to the thick tall and brick fence. Daniel face was already pale scared of what he was going to see outside, was it going to be a field of war again, he stepped in front of the door with a sigh and pushed the door. As expected the door opened revealing the bright blue sky and flat grassland with varieties of strange flowers, they instantly stepped out with their eyes half closed due to the harsh sunlight which flashed on them.
Stella walked further into the land with admiring eyes, there were few short trees which serve as shades for fine cottages which arranged orderly while following the path of a marbled pathway which led to a place unknown to them.
“Beautiful, everything looks so perfect.” Stella spoke amidst tears, she walked closer to a thick tree and touched it. With that she burst into tears.
Meanwhile, Daniel eyes fixed on the sky admiring it beauty. Six months without seeing the outside world had really done much to him, he could not even remember what the sky looked like during those period but now he had been reminded.
“Yeah, beautiful.” He looked toward the nearest cottage and smiled, he hurried to Stella and tapped her thereby jerking her off her admiration, she quickly cleaned her tears which the help of her dirty palm
“Yes.”
“J-just come.”
Daniel walked in front of the cottage and heaved a sigh, he walked closer and pushed the door open while Stella stared quietly behind him.
“Ha-ha,” Daniel stared at a little elfin who ignorantly giggled at his sister who busily gulped a glass of water down her throat “Hahaha, how did it feel.”
“Bad, why didn’t you tell me it’s that sour.” The girl retorted banging the tumbler on the wooden tile of the room, she instantly tilted her head to the door and furrowed her brows
Ahhh!
The boy screamed in terror and ran into another room. Meanwhile, the girl sat on the ground, unable to move an inch, her chest pumping in and out violently while her mouth began to shiver
“Mom, the squishy-killer is her with a girl.” The girl managed to mumble, summoning all the courage, she jumped from the ground and ran into the same room her brother ran.
Daniel and Stella stared confused of the children’s action, why must they had called him a squishy-killer, they both walked into the room and shut the door.
“My stories has really gotten-” An elven woman of a chubby figure and a short green hair stepped out of the room wearing an apron with a flat wooden spoon in her hand. The woman raised her head to Daniel and Stella who stood in front of the door, her jaw dropped with her eyes wide opened
“Children run to your room.” She ordered and the children who shivered behind her ran “You two must be the slaves of mistress Galena.”
Daniel rolled his eyes feeling not too surprise about the woman knowing their identity, after all their dirty clothes and lean figure made it vivid. Daniel nodded and the woman who had regained herself by closing her mouth
“Escapees, you may sit.” The woman offered them a bench “I was almost done cooking, excuse me.”
The woman left the room leaving Daniel and Stella to stare at the surrounding. After some seconds, the woman returned back into the room holding two plate of purple soup.
“Here.” She handed the soup over to Daniel and Stella who accepted it with a look of confusion on their face “It’s called pod stew, liquid but very satisfying.”
“Oh, okay.” Stella sipped from the stew and her eyes instantly widened, she continued to drink until the plate became empty “Sweet and really satisfying.”
Daniel took his own turn in drinking and finished the plate within seconds
Burp!
A loud belch roared out of Daniel’s mouth in an instance, he dropped the stew on his laps and made another belch
“I’ve never tasted something so good as this in the past years.”
“Thank you,” The woman took the plate from both Stella and Daniel and took it to the kitchen. After some time she returned to the room and sat on an armchair which was in front of the bench
“You know, elves are now one of the richest race since the race change.” The woman sighed giving a sympathetic gaze towards them
“But you know, it will be a risk to me and my children if we help both of you, especially when we are located in the front of the gate,”
“I really want to help you both but I think its too much of a risk so please, you’ll have to leave.”
“I understand, I think we would try to leave this territory now.” Daniel answered to the woman statement without any arguments, after all he had to leave sooner or later even if she offered them some commodities.
[Good thinking host, by the way don’t forget about your mission]

“Mam, we are really thankful for the delicious meal, but I and my colleague will have to leave now.” Stella stood up from the bench and greeted with a bow. Daniel also stood up from the bench and made his own line of acknowledgement to the woman.
Daniel and Stella tiptoed out of the house and took a brief stare at the further path.
There was still a long journey to go.
Roger cat walked gallantly across the stone tiled pavement of the street, there were lots of tall houses or special buildings around as well as the local bar, inns and tavern also visible. The surrounding was noisy with the singing and chirping of strange birds, crying of off-spring or cheering and shouting from the beautified taverns or hotels along the way. The surrounding had a scent of various kinds of fragrance from sideways flowers, ales, and others unknown to him. The hoofing of large furry creatures which helped in rolling the wheels of chariots or carriages of nobles, warriors or peasants also sounded across the street. Moreover, the street was were also visible of various posters holding information about sales, wanted criminal or nudist. After about an hour, Roger finally reached a large area of land which was cleared neatly, leaving its bright short green grass in absence of its rough hedges,
“Oh, okay.” The lady jotted down his words and turned towards them “All other necessary things will be done after your guild is complete.” Daniel’s jaw dropped, it was almost impossible to find a complete guild members within three days. He turned around frustrated and instantly made his way toward the exit door furiously while Stella followed him quietly. Getting outside, the man who guarded the door stopped them with a dirty smirk on his face “They kick you out eh.” Stella instantly gave a death glare at him upon hearing his words, her face already fumed with anger while her eyes narrowed “For your f*ucking information, we made our guild and we are going to return here in two days.” Stella angrily poked at him while Daniel watched her in agape “Bet me, motherfu*ker.” Stella now made the lead as she immediately turned around and hurried down the stairs leaving
“F*ck off sucker head.” Daniel ran through the narrow pathway of the dusty street, behind him were three hefty men who chased after him, they were standing about 162cm off the ground having large Tommy and plump body shape . “We’ll see who you are calling a sucker head after we catch up with you dummy.” “You better keep running squidwhash.” “Yeah, you pr*ck.” The men cursed, there voice deep, grumpy and showing all features of anger. Daniel continued running helplessly through the pathway, these three men who chased after him were the greatest bullies of the town to the extent that salesmen and women would sell for them free in other to avoid unnecessary beating, they had gotten in and out of jail multiple times due to their terrorism to the town “Just leave me alone, please.” Daniel begged seeing that this pathway only lead to a dead end, though there were some beggars who slept or sat hopelessly on the ground near the trash box. There was no where to run, Daniel leaned aga
Roderick nodded his head and dropped the coins into the deep pocket of his trouser. “Don’t tease me because of your build dummy, I’m a bit muscular myself.” The man growled at Roderick word and instantly attacked him with a blow on the cheek. The crowd instantly let out a cheer after seeing the plump red button that appeared on Roderick’s cheek. “Damn you man.” Roderick let out a shout and countered the attack with a heavy blow on the man’s cheek. A heavy fight instantly burst out in the room, drawing the attention of the others who were chanting names. Amidst the fight, two more arms immediately sprouted out of the man armpit rendering more multiple blow to Roderick who was left with red round bruises “I thought use our ability is restricted in this tavern.” Roderick managed to breath out after receiving serious beating from the man quadruple arms. “Now lend me som
**** “Wake up Daniel.” Roderick tapped Daniel repeatedly on the shoulder while he muttered his words quietly. “Roderick.” Daniel muttered after few seconds and finally sat upright on the bed with baggy eyes “Roderick, I want to ask you for a favour.” Roderick slowly stood up from the bed and moved toward a rustic themed armchair and sat on it while listening to Daniel words attentively. “Em, could you please j-join a guild I and Stella made.” Daniel muttered shamefully, scared of how Roderick would react. Gosh! What was I thinking Daniel head was about to explode, how could he ask his helper for such a thing. But unfortunately, it was impossible to reverse his words. “Soo.” Daniel asked abruptly after some few minutes of silence “Ehm, well that was not a proper way to invite someone to a guild party, but anyways, yes!” Roderick finally answered within few seconds. Daniel instantly sprang up from the bed, jumping and rejoicing. [Congratulations, one more t
Daniel and Stella continued running through the forest trying to escape the ice shooter which still paced behind. Thwack!! The branch of a withered tree instantly crashed on the ground, leaving Daniel and Stella to trip on their feet, rolling down the sloppy hill until they finally came to an halt after dodging several tree trunks and large boulders.“Ahh. We finally lost it.” Daniel exclaimed jumping up from the ground like nothing had happened“Well, I’m hurt here.” Stella retorted still lying flat on the ground “I pushed some couples of roc....... Rocks.” Stella began to shutter in her words upon fixing her gaze behind Daniel whose facial expression instantly turned puzzled“Wha....”“Shhh.” Stella shushed while slowly standing up from the ground “Ignore every instinct that say you should look behind you.” Daniel face instantly turned pale upon hearing Stella’s words“Is it a large beast behind me!”Daniel thought as his heart continuously began to pound
“Oh, the Red Hound, am I right.” The lady who still recognized Daniel muttered under her breath, instantly bringing out a book from her shelf “So, their names and ages.” The lady asked with her gaze still fixed on the book. “Roderick...” Daniel shuttered unable to complete Roderick’s surname “Roderick Oswald, eighteen years old.” Roderick interrupted realising Daniel shuttering “Apollo Yason, seventeen years old and a water ganasi.” The lady instantly tilted her head toward Apollo whose facial expression was filled with ecstasy. “Water ganasi?” “Yeah.” “Okay..” The lady stressed her words turning to her book before jotting down both of their names. After some seconds, she drew out four pairs of green striped armour costume from one of her counter shelves, handing it over to the quadruplets who instantly began to admire it “Unusually uglier than the other, but rather...” “Shhh,” The lady interrupted, only leaving Roderick to gulp down his words “Place your palm
The red hound noisily walked through the bushy path of the ‘Crow forest’ while watching out for any encounter with the Benevolent beast or other predators “I think I got something.” Roderick whispered to the others who turned their gaze towards the direction he was peeking at “Whoa, this creature is awfully scary and large, this type of creature is supposed to live deep in the forest.” Apollo exclaimed in awe to the size of the beast which busily cuddled itself with the help of the fluffy fur which was attached to the tip of it quadruple tails. “Looks exactly like the diagram, can’t believe we are going to get thirty gold coins.” Daniel whispered in admiration to the tiger like scales and two small horns that sprouted out from both corners of it head “Must had been a common tiger before it-” “Hey, guys, I think we have company.” Roderick interrupted immediately upon catching sight of another guild party who were hiding behind the thick hedges of the opposite side “Should we react
Chapter 14 – Daring Garelt The red hound tiredly returned to the tavern after claiming their reward from the guild Hall which thankfully went out successful“Heaven’s flame, I desperately want a nap.”Roderick rushed over to the Inn manager who busily stared at a particular spot in the building“Two days rent please.”“I wouldn’t like it if you bring more people in here Rod-”“Do you pay for the rents.” Roderick interrupted the words of the Inn manager who turned silent in respond to the disrespectful answer of Roderick“No, anyways, five silver coin for a room per night. Whether you like it or not.” The man rolled his eyes fixating his gaze to a random activity that took place in the scenery“Ahh, okay please, seven silver coin for a room in two night, please.”“Negotiable, but, deal.” The man smiled handing the two keys over to Roderick in and exchange for seven clean silver coin.“Not that I don’t trust you, but I have to be sure if the coin is fake.” The man instantly fi
