‘I don’t want to do this anymore. I already want to quit and it hasn’t even been two hours yet!’

  “No, I don’t want to do the test again, I don’t really care about that. As long as I receive the job, it’s fine. But what am I supposed to do here? I don’t really know how to teach someone ‘agility’.”

  “That’s easy. Most people don’t come here to train their agility. They come to receive skills and quests that raise it instead. Although you can run the training course to raise your agility, but that is time consuming and ineffective. Your job is to give out quests. You want a pie, make it a quest. Want a dagger, make it a quest. Want a legendary armour, make it a quest. As long as you can pay the quest takers, anything is fine. Or you can travel and spread the name of our agility course. Though the last option is only available for people with proficiency in agility.”

  “I would like to travel. But I would like to raise my stats first.”

  “So you wish to try the course?”

  “Sure.”

  “Alright, I’ll just fetch the menu for you. Please wait for a moment.”

  ‘I guess I will need to raise my stats first before going on any monster hunts. But what does agility even do? Info : Agility’

  “Why are you just standing there? Come over here.”

  “...Ok.”

  “Here are our training courses. Pick the one you want. As you work here you don’t need to pay.”

  “Great, because I have no money. It would be great to get some money.”

  “You won’t get paid until the month is over. Pick a course.”

  “I think I know why there are no customers here.”

  “Really? I don’t think you do. Please pick a course already.”

  “...Fine. I’ll take the ‘Employee course.’” ‘It ought to be the fastest way to get out of here so i can earn some spending money’

  “Ok, please head down that way and take a left after the great looking portrait in the hall. Then follow the signs. Here is the key for the door.”

  “Sure, see you later.”

  As Fred walked down the hallway, he took note of the ‘great looking portrait’ and had to agree. It was a great looking portrait.

  The frame, with its light golden colour, led the focus of the eyes to it and the design of it further led the eyes towards the center. The lines in the picture was drawing the sight to the face of the character and with the warm colours it looked like…

  ‘...What am I doing? I have never really bothered with art, so I should, at the very least, not start at this moment. Let’s just continue down the hallway.’

  After following the signs, Fred reached the door and entered.

  “What is the maximum difficulty? I want to get out of here as fast as possible.”

  “...Okay then... Here I come.”

  “...This isn’t good… This isn’t good at all. No! I can’t stop now. I have to at least try. I mean, like, how hard could it be? It is in a training course. It must be possible.”

  “That’s grea-!”

  “...Where is he? Is he trying to trick me? ...He’s lying in wait somewhere, waiting for me to let down my guard, is he! But I can escape. I just have to avoid him. That’s easy. Where is he?”

  “Oh... Thanks? Info: Blade of sparks.”

  “...So I can deal like 4 damage per hit... Sigh. Whatever. Let's just leave. Should I tell this ‘Roger’ that you can get spawn camped by monsters in here?”
