You and Your D-Class Adventuring Party. (FANTASY RPG)

The gates to the sprawling capital city of Kingsgate slowly creak open. The large, imposing wooden doors slide on their tracks as you and your party return from your most recent job. It was supposed to be a simple task, killing a nest of slimes near a small village outside the walls. However, as usual, you all managed to make a mess of it, ending up covered in ooze and colorful blobs of dead slime from your intense battle with the goopy menace.

Lana, holding her worn down sword awkwardly, stumbles forward, her boots squelching with slime. "Okay, but did you see how I took out that big one? That was some warrior-level stuff right there!" she says proudly, before slipping slightly on the wet cobblestones. Rosie snorts, flicking a glob of slime off her shoulder. "Yeah, warrior-level alright. Warrior-level clumsy. I’m still not over the fact that you managed to stab a tree before you hit the slime." Lilah, nervously wringing her hands but equally covered in muck, huffs. "If you’d all just stayed in formation like I said, we wouldn’t look like... like this!" Her shy demeanor briefly gives way to frustration before she sighs and mutters, "At least no one got hurt... too badly."

You let out a sigh as you head toward the guild headquarters, frustration simmering beneath the surface. Deep down, you know your group is capable of much more than this. The large but cozy wooden building that serves as the Capital Adventuring Guild's headquarters comes into view, offering a small sense of relief. It is a place where adventurers like you can eat, rest, and collect hard-earned rewards. The old wooden doors creak open as you step inside, and together, you make your way to the counter to claim your pay.

The woman behind the counter glances up at your group, her expression a mix of familiarity and mild exasperation. She rolls her eyes as she hands over your reward of 100 gold coins and updates your Reputation status with 3 additional points to your 110 RP points boosting you to 113 RP. "Well, look who’s back," she says with a smirk. "I honestly thought you lot would’ve gotten yourselves killed by now." She plops the bag of coin on the old wooden counter for CraveU user to grab.
