In the dark space, he was hit by an acute falling sensation, followed by a dizziness like motion sickness.

Light returned to the dark space, and he heard all kinds of noises.

“Quick, quick, quick, come down!”

“Those who are here, come down quickly. Don’t lie on it.”

“Bear with it. The fine for vomiting in the transmission range is one gold coin.”

“Ah, don’t vomit on me.”

“Stop pushing. Do you know who I am?”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Don’t rush us.”

Opening his eyes, he was greeted by the sight of a large blue Portal Stone floating in the air. Below were densely packed teleportation platforms of various sizes. Blue pillars of light flashed from time to time, and from them emerged various people, or not necessarily people.

Some of them might be like Kane. This was the first teleportation. These people were either lying down or squatting and rubbing their heads. More importantly, they were vomiting directly on the teleportation platforms. They were being fined by the armored soldiers beside them.

Through the crowd, a city straight out of fantasy fiction came into view.

Houses of varying heights sat next to the street. In the distance, he could see tall buildings that looked like magic towers emitting all kinds of light.

The width of the road was comparable to the highway in his previous life. On both sides stood what looked like street lamps.

Looking in the direction where there were not many towering buildings, he could see buildings similar to city walls in the distance. If he could see them from so far away, it was obvious how majestic they were.

The most striking feature was the ornate complex in the middle of the city. The buildings inside were symmetrical, atmospheric, and glorious. At the top of the tallest building was a huge lion’s head shimmering in the golden sunlight.

As for the explorers who came down from the teleportation platform, they were all dressed differently. They carried weapons and spoils of war as they entered a huge three-story building beside the teleportation stone.

Looking up, he saw that the banner of the Mist Council read “Explorer’s House.” Beside it stood a clock tower. The clock dial above it said 10 o’clock.

Is this where Nando told me to go? Kane wondered.

He suddenly felt someone pull him back.

He turned to see an elderly woman with a wide smile on her face.

“Would you like to stay, eat, or travel in a fully constructed vehicle?”

Kane laughed and quickly rejected her. He rushed toward the Explorer’s House without looking back.

“We’re cheap and affordable.” Seeing Kane leave for the Explorer’s Home, the auntie didn’t dare to stop him, but she didn’t give up. She shouted in an attempt to persuade Kane to stay.

Sure enough, it’s inevitable even in that world, Kane thought.

He arrived at the door of the Explorer’s House and pushed it open.

At the front of the first floor was a reception desk, out of sight behind it was a place which sounded like a pub.

He could see some people eating and drinking on the second floor. He didn’t see the entrance to the third floor.

At the front desk was a lovely girl of a humanoid race.

On either side of her head was a pair of coiled horns. She had short white fur curls that looked like wool on her head. What kind of race is she? The Argali? Kane wondered.

However, the horned white fur was quite cute.

“May I ask if you require any assistance?” the Argali girl asked seductively, cocking her head.

Kane took out the card Nando had given him before he left and handed it over.

“You’re the Mr. Kane that Mr. Nando had just messaged us about, right?” the Argali girl took the card and said.

“My name is Adoma, Adoma Darcy. I’m a receptionist at the Explorer House. You can ask me if you have any questions in the future.”

Then she led Kane to a parlor and sat him on the couch. “Would you like wine or a drink?”

“A glass of plain water.”

“Alright, wait a moment.”

Placing a glass of water in front of Kane, she pulled out a small blackboard and said, “Mr. Nando said that you’re a new explorer and asked me to show you around.”

“Now, let me tell you the basics of being an Explorer.” She seemed to be very interested in such a narrative.

Clearing her throat, she began to narrate in clear tones.

“Explorers are a group of professions that rely on clearing dungeons to obtain benefits. A dungeon can be cleared many times until its energy is exhausted.

A person can only clear the same dungeon once in his life. After clearing the dungeon, the dungeon will reject this person’s entry.

Most explorers’ careers are short. They will end their lives because of disability, poisoning, curses, insanity, and eventually death.

But there will still be people pouring in, because the dungeon has everything you could imagine and everything you didn’t expect.

After you clear the dungeon for the first time, you can go to a place with a Mist Gate to obtain the blessing of the mist. This blessing will be the most suitable skill for you.

Mr. Kane can come over tomorrow. There’s a Mist Gate here. Tomorrow, we’ll organize the new explorers who have recently cleared the level. At that time, we’ll obtain a skill that suits you best.”

She seemed to realize she was getting off topic. She paused, then continued.

“Explorers’ abilities are composed of core skills and equipment. The more dangerous the dungeon, the more likely it is to obtain powerful equipment.

And the more likely it is that the skill will be strengthened. The magic power in the body will also increase. When it increases to a certain amount, it will change color and advance.

All skills, equipment, and magic power are applicable to a hierarchy.

Copper, silver, white, and gold.”

After that, she took out a brochure and handed it to Kane. “If there’s anything else you don’t understand, you can read this.”

“If you still have questions after reading it, you can come and ask me personally. I’m the receptionist at this Explorer’s Home.” She patted her chest proudly.

Kane took it and read.

‘The Explorer Class Guide’.

So why didn’t you just give this thing to me?

But seeing how satisfied she looked, he didn’t have the heart to ask.

“Oh, by the way, Mr. Kane, you don’t have anywhere to rest yet, do you?” she asked, suddenly remembering something.

“I just came to this place. I haven’t found a hotel yet.”

“Do you want to rent a house specially prepared for Explorers? There’s a single and two-person room, and a 10-person room for the team.”

“Alright then, thank you.”

“It’s my honor to serve you.”

…

Adoma led him to the rear of the hall. There were all kinds of houses, large and small, sitting at the side of the road.

Some of the gates were only a meter tall, while others were more than three meters tall. It seemed that they were prepared for many other races.

They arrived at a brand-new house. The exterior gave an exquisite and warm feeling.

“This room has just been built. It only costs one gold coin a month. It’s very affordable, right?”

Adoma introduced it to Kane.

And Kane was very pleased indeed.

“This one then.”

He completed the check-in procedures with Adoma and put his luggage in the house.

He went out with the spoils of his previous hunt.

They reached the room to the left of the hall. A sack icon hung by the door.

When he checked in earlier, he already knew the use of every place at the Explorer’s Home.

For example, this was a grocery store that specialized in selling magic consumables and purchasing magic materials from Explorers.

Next to that was the equipment store for selling, repairing, and purchasing magical equipment.

On the other side was the pharmacy. One could tell from the name that it sold consumables.

The first floor was where explorers ate and drank. The second floor was where they obtained information, formed teams, and accepted commissions.”

The third floor was the office.

In a moment Kane came out with the 25 gold coins he had just received.

Kane now had 121 gold coins from his previous savings, 20 gold coins for commission, 36 gold coins that Uncle Gorm had secretly placed in the commission, and 2 gold coins for the deposit of the house he had just rented. In total, he still had 200 gold coins left.

It was a lot of cash.

He entered the equipment store with confidence.

And slunk out of the equipment store.

These magical equipment were too expensive. Ordinary bronze equipment like the Sentinel straps cost about 500 gold coins. The better ones of the bronze Giant Wood Gloves cost more than 2,000 gold coins, starting from 20,000 silver coins, that was daylight robbery.

Of course, the purchase price wasn’t low. Kane was tempted, but only slightly.

He went out to buy clothes and daily necessities and familiarize himself with the surrounding streets. When he returned to his rented apartment, the sky was already filled with stars.

He lay in bed at night, staring at the ceiling, and thinking of Kara town.

Forget it. Tomorrow will be the first day of my career. Sleep.
