Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 127 Evan’s Free? Day

Abe's Guest House

City State of Magic, Kasteblum

December 18th

Year 1051

Evan Von Bourne was in for a rude awakening on this fine morning as the sinister aura of the demon, Pride, invaded his body and jolted him out of the dreamland.

"The fuck?!"

He reflexively opened up his inventory and pulled out his weapon, the unforged, only to see that there were no enemies around him.

"Oh?"

When he saw that it was just Pride who was standing in front of him, fully dressed, and Eliza who was seated on the bed beside him, his guard dropped as he tossed the sword back into his inventory.

"It's nice and all that your first reaction to that was to touch your weapon, but in reality, you'd be dead before you even get to wake up.

You should have noticed me from the moment I walked into this room."

"Well, you can't blame me. I'm not exactly as experienced as you are."

Pride scoffed upon hearing his excuse before retorting in the next instant.

"Even an inexperienced brat should know to lock his room door before falling asleep."

She then pointed to the slightly ajar door before continuing her words.

"That door was opened by a kid who was randomly turning people's door handles. If I wasn't awake and on my way to your room, who knows what would have happened if someone walk in while you two were still asleep?"

Evan's eyes widened as he heard Pride's words, instantly realizing the gravity of the situation.

'To think that I forgot to lock the door!'

Pride stopped chiding him when she saw that he and Eliza were reflecting, her expression turning pensive as she appeared to be lost in her thoughts.

He and Eliza then took their baths at the general bathhouse on the bottom floor of the guest house, a service that made the prices of their rooms increase exponentially, before dressing up for the day.

As per Evan's words the day before, the young hero had decided to spend his day freely, after dealing with the important issues he had first.

He saw off Eliza and Pride who went to two totally different parts of the city as he made his way to the adventurer's guild building.

On his way there, he dropped by a roadside stall and got a few handheld cartons of strawberry juice, sipping on one of them as he moved to the Adventurer's guild building.

It didn't take him long to find the building as It was on one of the busiest streets of the city, with one of the Grand Magus of the city who was into adventuring erecting his tower not too far from the guild building.

There was also a small market for monster materials and adventurer essentials on that street, a few of the products being sold catching Evan's eye.

However, he chose to ignore them as he was aware of where they were more interesting and useful artifacts hidden in the city, especially one particular one that he remembered worked well with the unforged.

'It was one of the best weapon artifact combos in the game, the unforged and the 'doubler'.

The artifact was self-explanatory, it was an artifact that doubled the effects of all weapons, armour, and other artifacts equipped by the user.

It mattered not the type of weapon or armour; however, it could only apply this effect on the next five weapons, artifacts, or armour equipped by the user after they equip the doubler.

Evan thought about the location of this artifact as he walked into the adventurer's guild building, navigating through the crowd of adventurers as he made his way to the next empty receptionist table.

He tossed his strawberry juice carton in the trash can and took a seat on the stool, grabbing a new one from his inventory as he spoke.

"Yo.

So, I have a few things to do."

The receptionist who didn't even get to say her welcome speech only gave a wry smile as she listened to his words.

"First off, I want to accept some quests on behalf of my party. Here's my guild card."

He dropped his guild card on the desk before opening up the juice pack and continuing.

"One of my party members is still quite low ranked despite their strength being above mine so I want some quests that would help them in increasing in rank quickly."

The receptionist nodded as she picked up Evan's card and scanned it, pulling up information about his party and confirming it before bringing out a list of quests for him.

Evan casually sipped the juice in hand as he picked a few quests to get the magic stones of specific monsters.

He then selected a quest that asked him to provide the horns of a 'Snow frost Boar'.

"I think that was the floor thirty-floor boss, 'Snow Frost Boar King'."

"Yes, that is the case. I can see you have done your research."

"Huh? Yeah... Research, definitely did that."

Evan replied to the receptionist's comment as he thought about the time, he soloed the dungeon without any support characters when he was using the 'First' as his main character.

'Good times.'

He had a look of nostalgia on his face as he collected the quest form and signed it on behalf of his party before standing up and tossing the second juice pack in the trash.

'Hmm? Didn't he already trash that? When did he get a new one?'

The receptionist was confused as she saw Evan manifest a new juice pack out of thin air but had to take her attention off it as she saw another adventurer coming towards her.

Evan on the other hand was stylishly placing his quest papers into his inventory when he bumped into another adventurer.

"Oh, sorry 'bout that."

"No, it was my bad, I wasn't looking."

The man he bumped into apologized, making Evan take a look at him as he also apologized.

It was a fairly tall man with a dark complexion and distinctive red irises. He had a muscular build and his hair was shaved close on the back and sides, leaving a black-colored crown on top.

Strapped to his back was a huge great sword that was taller than Evan was, making the young hero admire the strength of this man who carried this sword like it was nothing.

Evan nodded at the man as he walked away, with the man also going over to the receptionist Evan had just left and dropped his guild card and quest items on the table.

"Ah, Mr. Yetu, right?"

"Yes."

Evan's hearing allowed him to discover the man's name as he closed the door behind him. Unknown to the young hero, the man was gazing in Evan's direction with an unreadable look on his face.

"I see..."

He muttered to himself before turning his attention back to the receptionist who was holding out his guild card.

? ? ?

Immediately after leaving the guild building, Evan made his way to his next destination, a park in the city located a few blocks away from the library Pride was in.

He activated his mystic eyes and began to read the flow of magic around the park, looking down at the tiles as he walked while relying on his senses to avoid other pedestrians.

The young hero took note of each tile on the walkway until he discovered one that emitted more magic than the others.

"Found it!"

He exclaimed in joy as he placed his palm on the tile and poured magic power into it, earning him a few weird looks from those passing by.

Ignoring them, he watched the tile light up before dimming a moment after, with the tile to its left lighting up and dimming in the next second.

Multiple other tiles all connected to each other began lighting up and dimming right after as Evan hurriedly followed the pathway they were forming on the pedestrian walkway.

It took him nearly three minutes, with him going in circles multiple times before he finally managed to locate the last tile to light up.

He then placed his palm on the tile right above it and poured a bit of magic power into it, causing the tile to glow with a green light for about five seconds.

Within those five seconds, Evan looked around him with his mystic eyes active, searching for another tile within his vision that was also lighting up at the exact same time.

"What's he doing?"

"I don't know."

"Should we call security?"

"Maybe."

"Huh? Why is the grass glowing?"

"Weird kid..."

Evan could hear the words of the many passers-by, however, one person's words caught his attention.

He turned his gaze in the direction he heard the voice from and saw a middle-aged man who was carrying a baby who was probably his son while staring at the ground in front of him.

Evan's eyes flashed as he sensed the flow of magic right before it disappeared, abruptly standing up and dashing towards the spot the man was staring at.
