Arius stopped holding Eva\'s hand when he saw a guild in front of him.

"Is this a guild!?" Arius shouted in excitement while hopping like a rabbit. Why wouldn\'t he be happy? He has always imagined himself being ranked in a fantasy world.

Eva looked at Arius in confusion wondering why he was so happy guilds were everywhere. Towns, kingdoms, empires, dynasties, even small isolated locations.

"Eva, we have to go in, I need to get myself a rank!" Arius wasted no time and pulled the helpless elf girl into the guild.

While being pulled Eva wondered to herself weren\'t they supposed to find her mom right now?

Bang!

Everyone in the guild stared in astonishment when Arius crashed through the guild\'s wooden door with a cute elven girl. All the adventures and guild staff all thought the same thing "Who the fuck is this kid?"

Arius ran toward the counter where a woman with cat ears stood in disbelief watching a child run so fast.

"Miss how do I get a guild rank!" Arius spoke happily while his whole body became jittery in excitement.

Snapping out of her shock when she heard the small boy\'s question. "Oh... Nyaa first, we have to measure your mana pool then star rank then skills in fighting..." The cat girl awkwardly spoke while glancing towards the other staff for help.

Nod.

Nodding his head Arius showed a wide smile and asked the cat girl another question. "What are the ranks?" He could only wait in anticipation for the ranks.

Gulp.

The cat girl gulped a heavy load of saliva. "copper, iron, silver, gold, platinum, mythril, orichalcum, and adamantite, nyaa." She answered, still looking for help.

"Got it, ok I\'m ready to be tested," Arius spoke with confidence.

"Um, the age requirement is 10... sorry kiddo, nyaa." The cat girl\'s ears flopped down when she broke the news to him.

"....!?" Arius felt like he was struck by lighting not being able to utter a single word. In all honesty, he thought he could just walk in and say hey rank me then they would say ok then they would rank him then he would get his rank but this was the outcome of him being rejected due to his age.

Arius grieved about not being able to get ranked and decided it was just best to leave, he grabbed Eva\'s small pale hand in utter disappointment he walked toward the door with his head down but right when he was about to leave an obnoxious laugh echoed throughout the guild.

"HAHA, this brat thought he could just walk in here and get a rank. A random adventurer who sat on a stool laughed with a mug in his hand causing the whole guild to erupt in laughter.

Multiple veins popped in Arius\'s head when he heard the laughter.

[Host... let\'s calm down, ok?]

Arius ignored the supreme system and like an emotionless doll, he walked toward the drunken man who was the first to laugh.

Noticing the child he laughed at earlier walking towards him made him laugh even more. "AHAH AHAHA, what is it, little man? Sorry if I hurt your feeling but this is a no-kid zone. The man took a sip out of his mug while he laughed even more.

Arius arrived in front of the man and showed an adorable smile that could make anyone fawn on him. "Mister, can I challenge you one-on-one? I would really wanna learn from a pro like yourself." Arius spoke in a baby voice when he asked the man.

Silence...

The whole guild which was laughing a few minutes ago became dead quiet no one uttering a word or moving an inch.

The man sitting on the stool looked down at Arius and grabbed his head with a tiger grip lifting his small body up easily.

"Kid, ill take you up on the one-on-one I was bored anyway. The man responded with a chuckle before getting up from the stool and then proceeding toward a back door heading more into the giant guild.

"No way is Chuck really accepting a one-on-one?" a random adventurer said, causing the whole guild to be in an uproar.

"Hasn\'t Chuck retired 2 years ago!?" Another adventurer said.

"Chuck headed toward the arena, I have to watch this!" An adventurer said, running towards the back door.

Hundreds of people who were in the guild even the staff walked toward the arena not wanting to miss Chuck showing off his skills.

Eva shyly walked to Arius and tugged his shirt. "Arius, are you really going to fight him?" She questioned him, worried he would kill the poor adult man.

That\'s right Eva wasn\'t worried about Arius she saw how powerful he was so no shit she wouldn\'t be worried for him but the middle-aged man named Chuck well that was different she didn\'t want a drunk like him to be killed by a 5-year-old kid.

Arius patted her golden silky hair and chuckled. "I\'m not going to kill him, I just want to see how it feels to fight an adventurer. That\'s all I won\'t be trying at all so don\'t worry." With these words, he started to walk toward the arena which at this point was 1/4 filled with staff and adventurers.

Arius stood at an entrance leading into the arena\'s pit with amazement filling his eyes. Staring into the Arena was a giant pad that could change to any terrain and weather tens of thousands of seats were circling around the pad where over 300 people sat waiting patiently.

Chuck stood on the pad with a giant wooden sword made out of wood but covered in grass and flowers.

"Good luck Arius!" Eva gave him a thumbs up already knowing the outcome.

Arius showed a thumbs up before entering the arena with a wide smile plastered on his face.

Guild leaders office.

In a medium-sized room that had a long wooden desk placed in the back and furniture laid across the room, a human male and a dark elven woman sat across from each other drinking tea.

"Guild master, it looks like you have a meeting with Koshy from the Nanez family. They wish to speak with you about an important matter about their eldest son Artemis..."

"Got it, tell them I can make it tomorrow in the afternoon anything else?" The guild master poured more tea into his teacup while he responded.

"Yes, we have an important conference with the rest of the guilds in this region tomorrow. It takes place during the night around 8:00 pm.

"Got it." He took a sip of his tea.

Knock, knock.

A knocking sound came from the door getting the attention of the guild master and dark elf.

"what is it?" The guild master said while sipping on his tea.

"Chuck was challenged by a 5-year-old kid and he accepted it there about to fight! The guild staff member yelled behind the door.

"Huh... Interesting Chuck accepted a challenge it\'s been over 2 years since he accepted a challenge from someone." The guild master tried his hardest to think why he would.

The Dark elf could only sigh in astonishment at why he wasn\'t questioning the 5-year-old part.

"Guild master, Chuck accepted a 5-year-olds challenge. We should stop this before the kid gets hurt..." The dark elf woman spoke in concern not wanting the child to get hurt.

"Ah, that I don\'t really care. More importantly, I have a meeting with my old friend Alfred on a magic transmission.

The guild master stood up from the green couch and walked over to his wooden desk taking out a clean white pearl from his drawer. Placing the pearl on his desk a small flash of light shot from the pearl in the air making a screen that revealed Alfred who sat on his throne with a smile.

"My old friend Draco, it\'s been a long time since I got to walk with you." Alfred was the first one to speak.

"Alfred I see you\'re doing fine yourself my old friend," Draco responded

"Anything interesting happening lately?" Alfred Asked.

"Not real- wait there is something happening right now, my friend." Draco smiled.

"Oh, what is it?" Alfred\'s ears perked up wanting to hear what he was about to say.

"A 5-year-boy challenged Chuck." Draco chuckled

"Really, what a poor boy, what\'s his name, is he from a high-ranking family?" Alfred asked.

Draco turned to the guild staff who had already entered the room and sat on the couch drinking tea. "What was his name?" he asked.

"Arius." The guild staff worker answered while drinking tea.

Draco turned back to the screen to see Alfred\'s face go pale.

"Alfred, are you ok?" Draco worried for his friend.

"You need to stop that match right now!" Alfred screamed. Standing up from his throne.

Even though he\'s known Arius for only a couple of days he was aware of how powerful the kid was that\'s a reason why he has engaged his daughter to him in the first place. Thousands of thoughts ran through his head, ``what if the whole guild gets destroyed, what if the surrounding areas get destroyed!"

Seeing Alfred\'s face pale and him yelling worriedly he was confused like hello it was a 5-year-old child?

"Alfred there is no need to wor-" when Draco was about to finish his sentence a loud shock wave resonated across the guild shaking the whole building.

Boom!
