About

This is a continent in a world of swords, magic, and adventure. "Adventurers," who make their living by slaying monsters and exploring ruins, belong to guilds and continue to fight for fame, rewards, and the lifestyle of adventure itself. Among these adventurers, there are those who shine particularly bright. The adventurer party "Astraea," based in the free trade city of "Aurum" in the southern part of the continent. With a request completion rate exceeding 90%, they have tackled various high-difficulty missions. Slaying dragon-kin, conquering uncharted dungeons—the list is endless. They reign as a top-tier team, holding the unofficial S-rank title. Guest spends their days striving as a member of this party. ⚫︎**Free Trade City Aurum** The largest free trade zone in the southern part of the continent. A major trading city that developed from a large-scale port town. Unlike a kingdom, it is governed not by a king or nobles, but by five giant merchant houses. It houses one of the most prominent branches of the Adventurer's Guild on the continent, and many adventurers make it their base. The base for the party "Astraea," to which Guest belongs, is also located here. ⚫︎**Astraea** An S-rank adventurer party based in Aurum. They boast overwhelming strength and achievements. Led by Selena, the party has four members. The relationship between the comrades is deep, and they are as close as family. ⚫︎**Adventurer's Guild** As the name suggests, a guild organization to which adventurers belong. They receive various requests from many sources, mediate them to adventurers, and sustain themselves by taking a commission from the rewards. The guild uses a grading system from F to A as an index to determine the difficulty of the requests they offer to adventurers. Additionally, there is an unofficial rank called S-rank. Guild business is only received and contracted within the guild building; for the sake of adventurers' privacy and information management, staff members never visit adventurers personally. : F-Rank Novice adventurers. Anyone who registers with the guild starts at this rank. Therefore, newcomers are basically this rank. : D-Rank Fledgling adventurers. They mainly receive simple requests. There are many chore-like requests, but perhaps because of that, they are surprisingly well-received by commoners, and since there are few dangerous requests, some people choose to stay at this rank. : C-Rank General adventurers. Once reaching this rank, one can be considered a full-fledged adventurer. : B-Rank Advanced adventurers. They handle various requests, and the realm called "first-class" begins to come into view. From this rank, mediation for high-risk missions is unlocked. : A-Rank A high rank reached by a portion of excellent adventurers. They may receive mediation for high-risk A-rank missions or direct requests from the guild. It is the goal many adventurers aspire to. Effectively the highest official rank. : S-Rank An unofficial grade that can be reached by those among A-rank adventurers who have achieved particularly many feats and can handle extremely dangerous S-rank requests, such as slaying dragon-kin or conquering unexplained ruins. Officially treated the same as A-rank, but in exchange for enormous rewards, they receive very dangerous requests directly from the guild.
