"How are you sir? This is my Adventurer Card." One of the three adventurers said as he showed a small silver plaque that had the guild's insignia imbedded on it.
"Thank you for the confirmation. Allow me to introduce myself, I go by the name James Avion and I am nothing but a travelling merchant."
Although this display was small it made all of them confident and sure that James was a noble.
'The way he greeted was that of a noble who is trying to blend in with commoners, moreover his surname is out of sorts as it is extremely rare to find a letter 'A' these day.' Danzo personally deduced and introduced himself like sorts.
"My name is Danzo and I am the leader of this party also a warrior. Behind me are Hans the scout and Lean the tank. Our other two party members Sarah the mage and Renee the healer. We are known as the gold rank party of Anarsha 'Chosen Blade'."
James's curiosity got the best of him so he used appraise on Danzo and his stats were good.
Race: Human
Name: Danzo
Title: Strongest Adventurer in Anarsha (D)
Chosen Swordsman (E+)
Job: Silver rank Adventurer
Swordsmanship: Free-lancer (Equivalent to peak intermediate rank)
Aura: None (Cannot wield aura)
Power level: 37 (Higher than normal human being)
Leadership: 59 (Above average)
Influence: 15
Willpower: 68 (Pretty good)
Intelligence: 47 (Below average)
Trust: 21 (Just met)]
They were not as high as his but his titles were the ones that made him trust Danzo. "I'll be in your care I guess."
James entered the caravan and on their way Danzo shared a lot of knowledge to him. First it was that despite him being the strongest in Anarsha as a silver rank there were three more ranks above him.
About twenty minutes later the entire caravan was attacked by a large hoard of wolves. 'How many wolves are there and can the three adventurers stop them?'
[There are exactly 27 wolves which can all be considered at best E rank monsters. A hoard this large takes up to 6 or 5 skilled and seasoned copper plate adventurers, in short it will be a walk in the park for three silver plated adventurers especially Danzo a peak intermediate knight.]
Hearing the voice James couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.
{Impromptu Quest: Basic Attack
-Details: There have been detected 27 wolves in front of the host. The host is tasked with killing all wolves, clan (house) members are allowed to intervene but if anyone who is not of your clan (house) the quest will automatically end.
-Progress: 0/27
-Penalty: None
-Time limit: 20 minutes
-Reward: Copper pack}
"Now this is interesting." James murmured beneath his breath "Everyone I ask of you please step back and allow me to fight against these wolves."
A puzzled look appeared on everyone's faces as they thought it to be suicidal as anyone could sense that James lacked power.
'Which are the two best ways in order to win against these wolves?'
[You have no combat ability and can not hope to win against even a single wolf much less a complete tribe]
'So is there no way for me to defeat these wolves?'
[Yes it is impossible and if you try to fight them and you would surely die but if you wanted to complete the quest I suggest you recruit the entire Chosen Blade under house Avion and that would allow you to complete two quests in one action.]
This was all the confirmation he needed and he turned once again to the three adventurers. "Lucky for you I would like to extend my hand to the entirety of Chosen Blade and invite you to join my house."
Danzo was shaken by these words. At first he thought that it was a bluff but seeing James's expression he realized it.
Joining a clan required a person to swear allegiance to the clan head and the contract lasted generations and generations, so they were obviously puzzled by what they heard.
Seeing their doubt using Anastacia's guidance he began convincing them like a pastor preaching the gospel. After a full five minutes Chosen Blade had joined House Avion and they defeated the monsters in swift notation.
[Please why did you get the SS rank trait, now all my tasks seem easy and doable whilst they are supper hard.]
"Just shut up and give me my reward."
[I'm sorry but I can't give you your rewards until the bug is fixed. Like what happened last time a bronze pack might actually shift and become a diamond or crystal level pack. That would make you too op.]
Hearing this James shifted to a mocking tone and decided to extort Anastacia for a bit.
"Are you seriously refusing to give me my rewards? Is this the true nature of the all-powerful World Building System? Is it just a system that moves and exploits people not even giving them their rewards on completion? To be honest I actually trusted that you were strong and very powerful but now it's just a former thought."
Anger was obviously visible on Anastacia's face as now she knew that she had messed with the wrong person. For the sake of her pride and honor of the system she had no choice but to give James his rewards despite it being obvious that another error would occur.
"My Lord is there anything else you want us to do or should we return back to the caravan and prepare to go to Anarsha?"
"Yes, tell the merchant to go full speed as I am more than eager to see this city you hold with this much regard."
James replied momentarily forgetting about the rewards and entering the caravan. The mood changed inside as before Danzo and the others treated him like an equal but now they looked at him with respect as if he were a king.
{James's POV}
Who knew that all I had to do was follow the words given to me by the system and now I had become an indomitable figure.
With this new found perception I find it possible to go to the home of baron Helm and convince him to give me his city
How truly terrifying is the SS rank trait bookworm, what of an SSS rank trait, I can't even wait.
I must make sure to exploit the system while this bug is not yet fixed
