CHAPTER 1 – The new queen

I’m Eleu Triya a support type mercenary.I live at a village near the town of Eisodos the closest town to an entrance of the barrier, it is located at the southeast part of the barrier. From the village I’m currently at the town of Eisodos. This will be my first time clearing a nest, though I still haven’t tried my skills to others, I’m perfectly prepared.

Eleu is having a talk with a guy wearing breastplate armor and 2 daggers.

“Ah, so this is your first time clearing a nest?”

“Yes, thank you for accepting me even though it’s my first time”

- Eleu

“Hah, I’m also impressed of your ability. I’ve never heard of a support that can heal itself, I’m expecting more of your ability”

“Oh before I forgot I am Graze Denzo a damage dealer, I will be the leader of this party, so don’t worry Eleu we will make sure you will learn a lot on your first time”

- Graze

Eleu is worried about the level of the nest because it is just her first time.

“But sir will it be okay?, it is a Intermediate-Level Nest. Even though this nest is the weakest in intermediate level it’s still more dangerous than Low rank Nest.”

- Eleu

“Do you know what makes it intermediate level?, it is because it’s already been 5 days since it is discovered, no mercenaries are taking it because of the low rewards and the loots from monsters are common materials. If a nest is been left within a week it will grow stronger and the probability of it attacking the town will be higher." - Graze

Eleu is a little bit disappointed because she never thought mercenaries are refusing a nest because of this kind of reason.

Graze called over the entire party to start a meeting

“Okay everyone, we will be clearing a Low rank Intermediate Nest it shouldn’t be too hard for us since everyone have a experience except this new mercenary here. She is a support type mercenary her name is Eleu Triya. A newbie support isn’t really matter but let’s take a good care for her.” - Graze

A tank class mercenary come towards Eleu.

“Hey young girl make sure you showered me with your healing buffs because I’ll be taking all the damage."

“Sure sir, count on me!”

Graze continue talking.

“So in this party we have 2 support of course for Eleu to learn more she will need a superior Mori Seftra, and we have 4 Damage Dealers 2 will be placed in front that will be me and Dresden Seil and 2 at the back to protect the rear Arvin Gilliard and Eril Hammus, and lastly we have 2 tanks one in front Heril Treinor and on the back Grazil Frill. Is everything clear?”

Everyone in the party nodded. Arvin Gilliard a damage dealer responded.

“It will be easy we may not even need a support” - Gilliard

Graze responded.

“Hah don’t say that we don’t know what could happen in a nest." - Graze

After this little meeting they headed to the nest using a caravan being pulled by 2 horses. It will took them 4 hours to get to the nest it is pretty close to the town.

On their way to the nest is a plain barrens, Eleu spotted a single monster with a black body and sharp claws that moves at a slow pace.

“Sir Denzo! that thing, is that a wanderer?" - Eleu

“Ah yes that’s a wandering monster it moves slowly and they don’t move in groups so they will not get in our way.”

- Graze

“That looks pretty cool, I’ve already saw a wanderer when I was a child though I can't remember it looks clearly, my father is strong but it took him a hard time bringing down one.” - Eleu

“Yeah it’s hard to defeat because no matter how you attack it, it will only regenerate unless you destroy it’s core. What makes it really hard to kill is it’s core is not an easy target, it is hard to spot because it’s core is the darkest spot of a wanderers body, it is also moving so you need to improve your aim but it’s actually a good thing you can’t spot it’s core easily unless you see it moves through it’s body. What makes it more dangerous is it’s hard to notice it’s footsteps, that's why most mercenaries aren’t camping too much at night when travelling.” - Graze

“Ahh so that’s why my father can’t kill it easily. How about you sir have you actually fought a wanderer before?” - Eleu

“Ahm yes one time I defended our town I fought a wanderer that time, I think it somehow followed the Nest Monsters on their way to the town. The core is moving so fast so I can’t destroy it properly, I needed a help from another damage dealer to take it down." - Graze

“Where do their cores usually located?” - Eleu

“Uhm researchers says it is somewhere in their waist and it can move throughout it’s whole body” - Graze

“Ah then what will happen if the core is in it’s hand and you somehow cut off its hand?”

- Eleu

“Ah if that’s the case the limbs will grow it’s own body and the other body will disintegrate, you are such a curious young girl, Hahaha." - Graze

“That sounds pretty cool, I wish I can become a wanderer” - Eleu

“Hahahaha, that would be great to have an immor-“ - Graze

Suddenly Eleu heard an unknown faint voice, she thought that it was Graze

“Huh? Sir Denzo what do you mean?”

- Eleu

“What did I say something wrong?”

- Graze

“Yes you did, you say something”

- Eleu

“What are you talking about? I’m only saying that it would be great to have an immortal ally.”

- Graze

'(That's strange I'm sure I heard something different, though I don't understand it clearly).' - Eleu

— (Ps. Sentences in parenthesis means their talking to themselves/on their minds) —

Eleu shift her gaze to the window and saw another Wanderer standing still and looking at them. The caravan suddenly filled with deafening silence due to the conversation of those two.

“Umm Sir Denzo aren’t that wanderer looking at us?”

- Eleu

“Hmm? I can’t even see it’s head clearly, you have some good eyes huh?”

- Graze

Graze quickly changed the topic before their conversation gets weird.

“Ah anyway, so your father is also a mercenary isn’t it?”

- Graze

“Huh, no my father isn’t a mercenary”

- Eleu

“But you said earlier he took down a wanderer on it’s own, he must be at least an Elite Damage Dealer.”

- Graze

“My father is a blacksmith.”
