SON OF THE HERO KING

Sol had been quite a bit excited when he had entered the guild at first. But then, feeling the reaction of the surrounding adventurers to their presence, he began to wonder if he should have simply directly left for his destination.

The truth was that he had been too desensitized to the aura of the people around him. Taking it as entirely usual for it to be like that.

But now that they were outside the Tower and all grouped, he could once again discern that for the vast majority of people, what he considered to be normal was no different than a world-ending calamity strolling about in front of them.

‘Sooo… I guess no one’s going to say that I am a rookie or whistle while looking at the ass of my girls and make some crass comments that will force me to fight them I presume?’

He looked all around. The headgear he was donning right now had been enchanted so that he was able to see everything clearly, not hindering his vision in any way, even when he kept the helmet on and his face practically covered by the metal.

He sighed in sadness when he realized that no one would challenge them or come to harass his girls. The start of his adventure didn’t go remotely as he had pictured it to go.

‘Should I go to a restaurant next?’

It was well known that the inns, restaurants, and the adventure guild were the places to go if you wish to find some young masters to roll around for amusement.

Laughing under his breath at a joke that only he, Kali, and Anubis could relate to, Sol reached the reception desk with his full team behind him.

“Hello.”

“H-hi!”

The receptionist was a young blonde-haired woman with subtle features that went well with her job. She was wearing a white office lady skirt and a light blue shirt that showed some of her cleavages to the onlookers.

Usually, she would act like a ditz or a seductress toward the adventurers, but now all she could do was show a terrified expression toward their party.

| сom “H-how may I help you?”

“Hmm… We are here to register as adventurers.”

“Y-Yes?”

It was evident that she had been more than a bit surprised at that statement. After all, with the aura they were emanating, this group should have already reached quite a high realm of power. Then she realized at once that they were perhaps a group of recluses or strong people out here on a whim to perhaps act as adventurers as a pastime.

This realization did not make her relax but made her even more fearful of them.

This wasn’t the first time some noble or hidden disciple of some master surfaced out of nowhere and decided to become an adventurer.

But in one way or another, no matter what the reason was, they were all a pain to deal with and extremely dangerous individuals as they generally lacked common sense.

The one in front of them was without a doubt a noble. The armor the person in question was wearing seemed to cost enough to nourish a dozen families for years to come and still have leftovers for them to shelter the next generations of their families.

The equipment of everyone else in the group was also all brand new or looked extremely ancient, which usually translated to extremely expensive in the common tongue…

“Wait for… for a m-moment please!”

She bowed deeply and immediately pushed a button under her desk. This was a special feature installed to call for the guild master in case what they called “Special Individuals” appeared on their doorstep and the current group of people can be considered special even among the special cases.

Now, her job was simply to bring them to an isolated waiting room as she hoped and prayed that they didn’t make a ruckus or demolished the guild in their anger or annoyance.

———

Thoma, the current vice guild leader of the capital’s branch had been sipping on his morning coffee and focusing on the large wads of paperwork that came his way when the alarm suddenly rang on his desk.

He sighed exasperatedly after hearing that noise, “Another one?”

He stood up with annoyance and reluctance. Recently this bell had been ringing almost every single day.

Being an adventurer was an extremely dangerous job. So whenever a noble came, he had to make sure to dissuade them with everything he got.

After all, if they died on the job, the family would accuse the guild to take responsibility for the matter. This had happened enough times by now that they had taken precautions against it.

“Well. Let’s chase them away fast.”

At least, this was what he thought before reaching the waiting room.

Gulp~

Standing in front of the door, Thoma began to hesitate.

‘What is this feeling of pressure?’

He was a very experienced adventurer in the past and though he had retired, he had once reached the threshold of the legendary Duke realm.

For him to tremble so much… It could only mean one thing.

Things had taken a turn for the worse…

“You can enter.”

“Yes.”

He answered immediately and opened the door, only to remember that he was supposed to be the host in this situation.

Such consideration vanished entirely from his mind when he set foot in the room.

Five masked faces turned in his direction simultaneously and while he could not see their eyes, he felt like a mouse suddenly being stared at by five lions.

“Ahem~ Ahem~ Good morning.”

He squeezed those words out with extreme difficulty and took a seat with nervousness and tension running through his body.

“Well, A good morning to you too. So, I was told we need to wait for the verification process. Are we supposed to pass a test?”

“A test?”

Thoma’s stiff mouth leaked a strained chuckle as he took a napkin to wipe the sweat from his face.

“A test, huh…”

Becoming an adventurer needed some basic mastery of weapons and mana manipulation. The test only went to this extent for normal people. Those who wished to skip the grade and not start at the very bottom as F-rank adventurers could take a supplementary test to upgrade their ranks. It was pretty basic, all things considered.

“You… You are all in the same party, right?”

“That is so.”

“I see… I see. So you want a test, huh…”

Thoma shook slightly as he took out a few documents.

“Please, fill your names in those forms.”

They looked at each other and simply gave each other code names related to the color of their hair. Gold, Brown, Blue, Silver, and Green.

Sol wondered for an instant if he was creating a power ranger team rather than an adventurer one and for an instant, a very short instant, he was tempted to write super power ranger as the name of the team.

In the end, he fought against his desire to mess around and gave a simple name.

[Twilight]

It was quite an edgy name. But for some reason, this name made him feel good. So he decided to go for it.

Taking back the form, Thoma nodded, not surprised by the code name. This was not an uncommon practice and since they were all wearing masks, it was clear that they were hiding their identities.

“Now what do we do?”

Sol was eager. Perhaps a test in some dungeon that was only ranked C rank but would turn out to become S rank or something like that? Or perhaps the guild leader himself would come and underestimate them and they would show off by whooping his ass?

He was brimming with excitement at the thought of what would happen.

This was was why, a few minutes later [Twilight] stood outside of the adventure guild with a badge in hand, with a strange expression accompanying all of their faces.

He looked at the document he was holding with pure incomprehension.

『 Party Name: Twilight

Individual ranks of each individual: S

Rank of the whole Party: S

Comments: No test is necessary』

He could hear the sound of his dreams shattering to pieces in real-time as well as the cold and biting wind of reality sweeping away the shattered debris.

Behind him, Persephone could be heard exploding in pure laughter, forgoing all manners of grace.

Truly this was the start of a great adventure.

(AN: Well, I am giving a hand at comedy. I don’t know if I can make you laugh. But at least I hope this made you smile or chuckle a little. My man Sol comes to a level 10 area with a level 90 party and is expecting a normal adventure. He is getting what he deserves.)
