Continuing the series. Fun, but as expected starting the Grind now. Daniel and Arif are still together as friends and progressing well as Beginners still exploring the local Dungeon, having got as far as the 7th Level. But now an opportunity arises, in that the local Smith needs some goods escorting and if they're worthy with a few bonus items he can make Daniel his own suit of armour an expensive prize well worth the effort. Arif isn't so sure, but for an increased share of the coins she's willing to go along, and can see the benefits to their team.

However as they look into the details they realise the first obstacle will be a long journey away from the town that Daniels known as home, and the girlfriend he's had for many months. She is a Elf and known many such pauses, But Daniel is new to affairs of the heart and along the way he realises he has decisions to make - with care rather than in the heat of the moment. Another such decision is whether or not, or which Guild to join. He encounters many other Adventurers on their travels, and realises he Healing Skill is rare and valued. Arif as a Beastkin is looked down upon by many, which makes some choices much easier, but she too encounters decisions to make.

Surprisingly reflective for a story that's basically about bashing things (they're not even animals, constructs of a demon they are literally things for adventurers' to break). Many RPGs don't ever get to this level! There's still something weird/fun about having a character pull up their own sheet and decide how to award themselves Skill points, but it remains amusing for now.

Will continue the series when the author sorts out the ebook content. ( )
