5 First Quest In A Fantasy World! (1/2)

*THE NEXT DAY*

Danielle woke up completely rested and headed over to the Adventure Guild. She was there to meet up with her new friend Hannah, the big booby elf that acted like no elf she has ever read about. Danielle saw her hanging by the bar by herself dressed up in her adventurer equipment. She had a knight's sword that was about as long as Hannah herself and a leather outfit meant to protect her. No one seemed to be bothering her or looking at her while she posted up against the bar. Danielle walked over and greeted her with a smile.

”Hey Hannah.”

”Is that what your planning to wear?”

”Hello Maji. How are you today? Is what you meant to ask.” Danielle corrected.

”Well if you say so Majin. I already grabbed a quest for us to do while I was waiting.”

”Let's get a move on then! I gotta rank up so I don't have to do any boring missions by myself.”

Danielle and Hannah walked through a magical door that acted as a portal and arrived on a rocky mountain. Danielle and Hannah were at the very base of the mountain and their quest was to reduce the local Iron Fox population. These Iron Fox were fox-like creatures whose fur was as hard as iron and teeth were sharp enough to tear through steel. The local populous's crops and animals were suffering due to the overwhelming increase in iron foxes and requested help from the Adventurer's Guild. Hannah also told her that the foxes tended to group together as they searched for the fox den on the mountain.

”How do you plan on hurting the foxes? Can your sword cut through iron?” Danielle asked.

Hannah chuckled before answering Danielle.

”Sort of. I'll show you once we find our foxes.”

It took them about 30 minutes to find an opening in the mountain that didn't lead to encounters they weren't looking for. Upon entering the den, they were immediately found and the foxes produced the most terrifying unnatural sound that shouldn't be produced by any creature. It sounded like screams being made by murder victims while some made a type of squirrel chittering sound. Danielle stood in front of Hannah and enlarged her fist. She then punched a group of the foxes away but this did little to no damage to the animals and suddenly the entire fox den was on them.

”Do these things have any weaknesses?!” Danielle shouted while punching and kicking any foxes that got near her.

”Yeah! The locals said their weak to blunt attacks, fire magic, and metal magic!” Hannah answered after knocking away a single iron fox with the butt of her sword handle and kicking off the maw of another one. Her sword then transformed into a serrated vibrating blade that easily slashed through two iron foxes leaping at her.

”That's so cool…” Danielle said in awe.

”Yeah I got it as a birthday gift from my dad. He's pretty cool sometimes.” Hannah said with a slight blush.

Hannah landed behind Danielle and Danielle held Tuff in her hands before sucking up a huge breath of air. She nearly shaped herself into a huge balloon before blowing out a huge gust of wind and engulfing the horde of metal foxes in a sea of flames with Tuff's fire. Danielle and Hannah cheered at the sounds of innocent mischievous creatures yelping in pain and dying to their strength. After the sea of fire extinguished, only the charred, melted, and disfigured iron foxes corpses remained.

”Quest Complete?” Danielle asked with a celebrating Tuff dancing around her.

”Quest Complete. Ignore the pups in the back, we're contracted by the guild to never eradicate a local species without direct orders.”

Hannah and Danielle started collecting teeth from the bodies and stashing them away for proof of the quest completion.

”But aren't they going to die without their parents anyway? Not saying that I want to kill some innocent fox pups, but you know.”

”Nah, they'll be fine. Iron Foxes can live a full life with a sole diet of iron and rock minerals, but for some reason they tend to act like carnivores and eat whatever they can take down.”

”I see. Well what's our next quest?!”

Hannah took out the quest papers from her back pocket.

”We need to track down a giant frog and bring it's body back in pristine condition. If we do a good enough job, we could even get a bonus when we turn it in to the guild.”

”How are we suppose to carry it back? I mean I'm pretty strong but…” Danielle said while flexing her tiny smooth pink muscles.

Hannah snorted.

”He sent over a shrink spell on this rune.” Hannah answered while pulling out an old timey brownish looking paper with rune-like drawings on it.

”All I have to do is flow my mana into this spell and it'll shrink the giant frog for us after we beat it.”

”But how did you plan on getting it's body back in good condition with a sword?”

”Heh. I have my ways Majin.” Hannah smirked as they walked back to the portal they came from and returned back to the guild.

Danielle and Hannah walked up to the woman behind the counter and turned in their teeth and received their 40 silver reward. It turns out this world's money system wasn't anything special. 100 copper is 1 silver and 100 silver is 1 gold. Simple and easy. Danielle was ranked up to Class E adventurer thanks to Hannah taking her on a D-ranked quest when she was a Class F. But it seems that she wouldn't be able to rank up to a Class D adventurer like Hannah unless she proves it by passing the guild's test that says she's D-rank material and wasn't carried along by Hannah. After turning in the quest, they headed towards a different door labeled Galfnaf but before they could head in a tall hairy man stood in their path. He was covered in iron armor and had a large heavy looking glaive on his back. He took a single glance at Danielle before returning his attention back to Hannah.

”Instead of hanging out with her, why not hang out with a real man like myself? You still haven't given me an answer from before you know.”

Hannah looked annoyed briefly and then gave the guy her attention.

”She's all I need for these types of quests, Jhen. I'll have to get back with you later about my decision.” Hannah grabbed Danielle's hand and attempted to walk past Jhen but he stepped in front of her way once more.

”I think 2 weeks have been long enough Hannah. So what is your answer? Will you go out with me or not?” He asked.

Hannah pinched the bridge in between her forehead.

”No. I'm not interested in dating anyone right now. I have too much on my plate for something like that Jhen. So can you drop it already?”

At this point Danielle was starting to feel awkward. It feels like there was a story between these two that's longer than two weeks and her involving herself in the situation would make it even more awkward.

”Is it because of them?” He asked.

Hannah seemed on the edge of being angry.

”And if it is?”

”Fine. I'll cool it for now but don't let them stop you from seeing the future Han. If it comes down to it, I'll take care of them for you.” Jhen said before walking away.

”Fuck off Jhen! I don't need your help!” Hannah exploded.

The whole building was staring and Hannah quickly pulled us through the door portal. She walked a few feet away from me with her back turned with her arms crossed and foot tapping angrily.

”I'm sorry you had to see that Majin. It's just… complicated…” She said while kicking a rock into the gross swamp puddle.

”Yeah.. I kind of figured.. but hey what better way to take your mind off of complicated things than with a simple frog capturing quest?” Danielle said with a smile.

”Beating up a frog sounds really nice right now…” And the two were off.

It didn't take them long to navigate through the swamp to find the giant frog while avoiding poisonous creatures and annoying animals. They chose to avoid most of the swamp creatures because Hannah didn't have many antidotes. If they tried fighting every creature that came at them or they saw, they definitely wouldn't be able to make it to the giant frog. During the search of the giant frog, they passed by some trees and were greeted with a large fleshly tongue aiming straight for them. Danielle squished herself into a ball and dodged it while Hannah jumped on top of a tree and had her sword transformed into staff with a green aura coming off of it.

The giant toad sat still in the swampy pond and focused it's eyes on Danielle.

”Hehe.. Wrong choice froggy!” Danielle grinned as the super-fast tongue headed straight towards her.

A light blue aura glowed off of Danielle's body as the tongue smacked into her. She got stuck to the frog's tongue and was swallowed by the creature. Hannah swiftly moved in to try and save her friend but was blasted away at the intense cold coming from the giant frog.

”The giant frog can't use ice magic! Is this a mutant type!? Tch! It doesn't matter! El! I'm coming to save you!!” She tried to force herself past the cold force.

Her armor and arms were starting to get coated in frost. Eventually the cold blasting wind stopped, and the giant frog was frozen in a block of ice. She ran over and tried to break the ice with her transforming sword but was stopped by Danielle's face appearing in front of her. Danielle liquified herself and slipped out of a hole she made inside the ice cube.

”What the hell is your race anyway…? You can use ice magic, wind magic, magic I've never seen before, and turn into that.”

”I'm one of a kind my dear Hannah. First of this species and probably last.” Danielle answered.

Hannah just looked at her strangely before shrugging her shoulders and shrinking the giant frog. It turned into an ice cube that she could carry inbetween her fingers and the two walked back towards the portal. The made it back to the guild and the sun was starting to fall. They turned in their quest and received 2 gold and split it even.

”I'm going to call it a day here Majin. I gotta go back home, it's getting late.” Hannah said.

”See ya later Hannah. What do you plan on doing tomorrow?”
