I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Wake up~!"

"Wake up~!"

Anno heard ethereal shouts, and his consciousness gradually returned.

But it was pitch black all around him, and he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, he remembered that he was taking a nap and that his ordered milk tea delivery should be arriving soon.

The next instant, several ugly goblins surrounded him and stabbed at him with their weapons.

"Ah~!"

Anno suddenly opened his eyes, waking up from a nightmare.

There were no goblins, no blood.

There was only a blue sky, fluffy white clouds drifting in the wind, and the sound of flowing water nearby.

A gentle breeze caressed my cheeks, bringing a refreshing coolness.

"Is it already dawn?"

Anno yawned, raised his right hand to shield his forehead, and adjusted to the light from the outside world.

Anno had a slight headache and couldn't help but close her eyes and shake her head.

Anno got up from the dilapidated room, straightened her clothes, and walked to the river not far away to wash her face.

Anno stared blankly at her reflection in the water.

Hunted by goblins, I summoned goblins; everything that happened yesterday was not a dream.

After finally reaching this place called Gruul, they were stopped by guards.

After some explanation, the town's guards mistook Anno for a suffering traveler.

Seeing that Anno was injured, a guard led him to the church in the center of the town.

There's an old priest in the church who can perform healing magic.

However, it requires payment of one silver coin.

Anno definitely doesn't have any money.

But he got a cloth bag from the goblin.

After opening the bag and rummaging through it, I found that besides two broken silver coins and an animal tooth, there was only a pile of useless junk inside.

Anno was initially relieved that he had touched the corpse, but when he took out the silver coins, the old priest's words stunned him.

"The silver coin is too badly damaged; it's only worth 30 copper coins!"

Normally, one silver coin is equal to 100 copper coins!

Anno didn't know if the old pastor was telling the truth, but the silver coin was indeed somewhat damaged.

When Anno took out the second damaged silver coin, the old priest still shook his head.

"Both of them are only worth 80 copper coins!"

The old pastor sighed, but ultimately accepted the two damaged silver coins.

However, he had one condition: once Anno had the money, he had to return the remaining 20 copper coins.

Then, the old priest cast a healing spell on Anno's left hand.

This was the first time Anno had seen magic in nineteen years.

The old priest's staff emitted a soft glow, and the arrow wound on his forearm and the wound on his left hand also shimmered with light.

Within seconds, the pain from the wound subsided.

"Alright, this is all I can do. If you want your severed finger to grow back, you'll need to go to Val'kam City and have it healed by a high-ranking priest!"

The old pastor's words startled Anno. Then he realized that his arrow wound and the goblin bite on his left hand had indeed healed, but his severed thumb was still bare!

The thumb plays a very important role.

Without my thumb, I can't even hold things properly; my left hand is practically useless.

However, Anno had no choice but to accept it.

Losing a finger is better than losing your life!

Afterwards, he talked with the old pastor for a long time and learned some basic knowledge about the world.

Anno is currently on the continent of Angomulos.

The continent is inhabited by humans, demi-humans, dwarves, elves, and a large number of monsters.

Among them, the Kingdom of Nigal, the Duchy of Aurel, and the Roland Empire are three nations established by humans, and they have been resisting the invasion of monsters.

The town of Gruel is part of the territory of the Kingdom of Nigar.

The town of Warkam, which the old pastor mentioned, is located north of the town of Gruul, about 30 kilometers away.

Warqam is the largest city on the southern border of the Kingdom of Niger.

The city not only has high-ranking priests, but also a large number of professionals and mentors for various professions.

On the continent of Ungomulos, there are six cultivation paths for humans.

These include warriors, knights, mages, hunters, priests, and thieves.

The way for humans to become stronger is to choose one of these as a profession.

Professional skills can be learned by paying a certain amount of money to a mentor!

Once you have a profession, you can choose to join the army, become a soldier of the country, and resist the attack of monsters.

They can also be recruited by various families or chambers of commerce to become guards.

Alternatively, you can join a mercenary group and accept commissions to earn money.

Or they can continuously train and become stronger, obtain a mentor certificate, and teach newcomers in any city within the country's territory.

The town of Grür has only a little over two thousand people and lacks resources nearby, resulting in a low standard of living.

The town is mostly populated by ordinary people, so there are no career mentors.

The old pastor had originally left the town of Gruul, but had achieved nothing until he grew old and chose to return.

As the conversation drew to a close, Anno's stomach began to rumble.

The old pastor gave Anno a black bread and water, and gave him directions to the slums, then let Anno leave!

Slums!

As the name suggests, it is a place where a group of people who cannot even guarantee their basic needs for food and clothing live.

Most of the people here are people who fled from villages that had been invaded by monsters.

They are homeless or disabled, and can only eke out a living in the slums of the small town.

Anno had spent his only two damaged silver coins on medical treatment, leaving him penniless. The slums were the best place for him to go.

There, sleeping in any run-down house for the night is better than sleeping on the streets.

After all, it's only early summer, and the nights are still quite cold.

Anno was indeed hungry and exhausted from his escape.

Although the dark bread was hard and didn't taste good, he still finished it in a few bites and then drank some water to cleanse himself.

After filling his stomach a little, Anno headed toward the slums the old pastor had pointed out.

It was already dark, and there were hardly any people on the roadside.

But the dilapidated houses in the slums, which could collapse at any moment, are still easy to spot.

Anno walked all the way to the slums and saw many people like himself, dressed in rags, crammed into dilapidated houses.

These people also saw Anno, but when they realized that Anno wasn't much better off than them, they stopped paying attention.

Anno searched around and found a place with only walls and no roof, where he lay down.

He was so tired that he soon fell into a deep sleep.

.......

"It's been a whole day, is my takeout still out there?" Anuo squatted by the river, remembering the milk tea she had ordered before she traveled through time.

"Ah~, I really want another cup of Mixue Ice Cream!"

Anno let out a groan and dragged his hungry body toward the center of town.

The old pastor said yesterday that he should be able to exchange the beast tooth he had for some copper coins from the merchant, and Anno is now planning to go to the market to take a look.
