Eldritch Creature's Guide

It was finally time to choose some of the available missions after they had chosen their Code Names, completed registration procedures, and everything else had been done. All the missions were selected through the Holo-Brain, a small Magetech device widely used by advanced civilizations and factions.

This terminal was used not only to choose the missions but also to carry out all communication and other stuff with The Guild. Not only The Guild was making use of the Holo-Brains, but also the rest of the factions across the Tower and major places of the Cosmos.

In the Tower, there was practically no place that did not use the Holo-Brain, while it was spreading throughout countless Principal Worlds and High Worlds, to the point where even some of the stronger Middle Worlds could be found with individuals who did use the Holo-Brains.

And Samiel had to admit that it was a very convenient thing because you could do anything through it; of course, if the Device crashed or malfunctioned, then it would be a slight problem because anything could happen. One of the most useful functions was probably the function for automatic translation for the most widespread languages, or you can use it instead of the card and pay; naturally, that was available only for people who had their money with the Vaultbank or some other big banks.

When Samiel joined the Hall of Kadath, he received one of the most exclusive and newest models available because it was a custom-made version, one of the rarest models available. Another perk for those who came from powerful and noble backgrounds, such as him right now.

Due to his lack of interest in this version of the internet and other things, he did not really use it, aside from some communication with the higher-ups at the Hall of Kadath to report some things or something along those lines.

[Welcome E-Ranked Mercenary Code Name: Eversor to The Guild's Terminal.

Please choose one of the following:

1. Missions

2. Information

3. Market]

Samiel looked at the holographic projection from the Holo-Brain, as he chose the icon of "Missions", as he was then presented with new projections of countless F-Ranked and E-Ranked Mission to which he had access.

There were countless of them, as they numbered in thousands upon thousand, mainly because they were from all around the Cosmos. And because The Guild operated on all Principal Worlds, High Worlds, a good portion of the Middle Worlds and even some more special or developed Lower Worlds, and shockingly even some Mana-Less Worlds, there was an almost inexhaustible number of these kinds of missions.

[Missions Available on the 8th Floor:

F-Rank Mission: Annihilaitioon of the Rogue Demon Squad at the outskirts of the Southern part of the Demon Continent

F-Rank Mission: Capture Bronze-Tier Magical Beast, min requirement: Level 40

E-Rank Mission: Raid on the Fortress of the Human Brotherhood on the outskirts of the Western part of the Demon Continent

Pseudo-Hazardous Grade Mission: Final War against the Human Brotherhood.]

It was evident to Samiel that there were dozens of missions that could be completed on the 8th Floor, in fact, there were quite a few of them here, but only a couple of them caught his attention for now, as he and Yvraine were browsing through them together.

They would be completing the Missions together as a team, though she would be choosing a few F-Ranked Missions that could be completed during their journey, so they could get some Mana Crystals at least for some good meal...

[E-Rank Mission: Raid on the Fortress of the Human Brotherhood on the outskirts of the Western part of the Demon Continent

Sender: Golden-Horned Demon Tribe

Requirements: E-Rank Mercenary

Description: On the coordinates that would be provided upon the mission's acceptance, the Human Brotherhood's forces managed to infiltrate and gain a foothold in the Demon Continent and even build a provisional fortress. The strongest person in the fortress is presumably a Silver-Tier Level 65 Knight, together with several Level 50 Bronze-Tier individuals.

It has been noted that a large number of humans are Unawakened, who exhibited combat prowess comparable to proper Professionals.

Objective: Destroy the entire fortress and kill any people present; for slaves, we are willing to pay an extra. Also, the secondary objective is to obtain any intel about the future plans of the Human Brotherhood and their activities on the Demon Continent, for the valuable information would be a separate reward.

Rewards: 5,000 Credits]

This was the first mission that Samiel planned to take, and even the rewards were pretty generous, minimal payment was 5,000 Credits. For a mission of this extent, the payment was relatively good, not great but not terrible, probably somewhere in the middle of all that.

The Credits were basically the closest thing that existed to Cosmos-wide currency that could be practically used across the entire material plane of the Cosmos. Because Gold Coins were worthless in certain parts of the material plane, while Mana Crystals were in some parts too precious, due to that, the establishment of Credit-based currency was supported by all major factions across the material plane of the Cosmos.

Most commonly, the Credits could be exchanged for various things, Mana Crystals or Gold Coins. Of course, Samiel planned to get as much money as possible from it. The common exchange ratio of Credits to Mana Crystals was:

Iron-Tier Mana Crystal was worth 1 Credit

Steel-Tier Mana Crystal was worth 10 Credits

Bronze-Tier Mana Crystal was worth 100 Credits

Silver-Tier Mana Crystal was worth 1,000 Credits

Gold-Tier Mana Crystal was worth 10,000 Credits

So even the 5,000 Credits could be exchanged for 5 Silver-Tier Mana Crystals which was pretty good payment. For Samiel, the Silver-Tier Mana Crystals are essential for reaching the higher Tiers; for him, even the Bronze-Tier Mana Crystals were not really effective due to the qualities and density of his Mana.

Of course, normally, people wouldn't really exchange the Gold Coins for the Credits because the Gold Coins were not that valuable compared to the Credits. Technically the Credits were in a similar situation as Mana Crystals when it came to the exchange for the Gold Coins; different people would pay different numbers.

[Pseudo-Hazardous Grade Mission: Final War against the Human Brotherhood.

Sender: Council of the Demon Tribes

Requirements: F-Rank, E-Rank and D-Rank Mercenaries

Description: On the 8th Floor, the continuous conflict between the Demon Tribes and the Human Brotherhood has been increasing to a level where the final confrontation between the two sides is inevitable and soon, the final war will begin.

Objective: Participate in the final war and help contribute to the destruction of the Human Brotherhood

Rewards: Based on the contribution, killed people or destroyed facilities and so on...]

"The one E-Ranked is the one we will be completing right now, and the Pseudo-Hazardous Mission should be the long termed one which would require direct participation in the actions on the Human Continent against the Human Brotherhood."

Samiel then stated that he accepted two missions, while Yvraine accepted a whole bunch of missions, mainly the F-Ranked ones that focused on capturing some Magical Beasts or disposal of bandits on the road, which could be fun.

As the last thing that Samiel did was to exchange all of his Mana Crystals he had for the Credits and then use those Credits to exchange them back to the Silver-Tier Mana Crystals. For that act, he called the Branch Manager Krasimir, so that the exchange could be carried out immediately without any waiting.

N0 v el Next. CoM

It was possible for him to do this through his Holo-Brain, since it had a teleportation function built in for some markets. Nevertheless, such a huge number of Mana Crystals that he was planning to exchange would take some time because the teleportation function was better suited for single items or less things.

"So that we have 65,129 Iron-Tier Mana Crystals, 21,120 Steel-Tier Mana Crystals and 5,648 Bronze-Tier Mana Crystals. With the current exchange rate of 1 Credit per Iron-Tier Mana Crystal, 10 Credits per Steel-Tier Mana Crystal and 100 Credits per Bronze-Tier Mana Crystal, it would be altogether 841,129 Credits."

After that, he swiped my card, and everything was done and the Credits were in a matter of seconds deposited into his Vaultbank Account, where Samiel currently have something like 5 million Gold Coins, as well as these Credits right now.

"I wish to use the 841,000 Credits to buy Silver-Tier Mana Crystals."

Then Samiel said to the Branch Manager Krasimi, paid with his credit card and he passed him a small Dimensional Ring, as Samiel took from it 841 Silver-Tier Mana Crystals and stored it within his Dimensional Ring.

Right now, together with his previous Silver-Tier Mana Crystals, Samiel had 996 Silver-Tier Mana Crystals, which should be enough for reaching higher Levels for some time, as the Mana in the Silver-Tier Mana Crystals was countless times more potent and dense then that of the lower Tiers.

"Thank you for all of your services, Branch Manager Krasimir, if you excuse us."

Samiel then stated as he put back on his hat and bandana, while Yvraine turned on the illusion device while both of them exited the Branch of The Guild, while heading towards the nearest hotel to procure a place to sleep. It was important to find suitable lodgings; fortunately, the Branch Manager Krasimir navigated them to one.

In a few minutes time, they arrived at the modest-sized building, which, in truth, was not a hotel in the true sense of the word but rather a very high-class inn that provided services to the Guild members at a considerable discount in exchange for their membership.

Basically, the higher your Rank within the Guild you are, the less you pay, and B-Ranks and above typically don't have to pay even a cent in these kinds of establishments. When both of them entered the place, Samiel just presented his Guildcard to the innkeeper, who was a middle-aged Demon from the more humanoid race, because he had only a pair of horns as a demonic feature on his head.

"Do you wish for joined lodging or a separate one?"

He asked after verifying their cards when Yvraine did the same. There were not many people in the Inn due to begin an exclusive place for the Mercenaries from The Guild. Due to that, it may seem like a desolate place, but even if it wasn't, Samiel really doubted that many people would be able to afford to pay lodging like that.

? "Joined one, but with two beds."

Yvraine beat Samiel as she answered for him, while the innkeeper didn't say anything and just passed them the keys.

"Have a nice stay; the bill will be provided when you would be checking out, and happy hunt."

He said with a typical demonic grin. For the past months, there were countless Mercenaries and Adventurers who were coming here from various parts of the Tower and many Lower and Middle Worlds, as they were lured here by the premise of riches.

And most importantly, for last week, even some members of The Guild were going here; of course, everyone who was going to the 8th Floor was typically ranging from the Iron-Tier to Silver-Tier, with only a few occasional Gold-Tiers.

The Floor Suppression on the Floor wasn't really working due to the interference of the Tower's System. Or rather the Tower's System adjusted the Suppression to stop suppressing the Gold-Tier and only remained on the Legendaries, who were forbidden to unleash their power here.

N0 v el Next. CoM

From what Samiel learned, during special times, mostly when it came to deciding who would be the Floor Ruler or the war was going on for the position of the ruler, the Tower's System would sometimes adjust the Suppression on the Floor.

Like in this case.

"On the Human side, are there many people coming to join the efforts of the Human Brotherhood?"

Samiel questioned, looking around the bar, where he saw some members of the Guild, but maximally ten of them were present. Still, some of them were already a peak Silver-Tier as he sensed their aura, and especially there were two who would be impossible for him to defeat unless he reached the peak of Bronze-Tier.

According to the strange presence that this man was exuding around him, one of them was clearly a member of the Old Deus. There was another one who was surprisingly an Ork, and even though Orks did not belong to a group of Superior Species or Greater Races, some of the mutated ones were capable of possessing terrifying powers and potential that could even be surpassed the Old Deus.

On top of that, this Ork also had a very strong presence of the Orkish Gods on him, so Samiel immediately sensed that he would be some sort of their Apostle or something similar. That faint feeling of the Divine Power made Samiel wary around the Orkish man.

"Some... not many and not though The Guild... clearly they don't have money for that."

Answered the innkeeper. Posting the request through The Guild costs a tremendous amount of money and several securities must be given. For example, Samiel's E-Rank Mission came with a reward of 5,000 Credits.

Meaning for a mission of this size, the payment for the Guild would be at least another 5,000. This was not only for the posting, but it was also some sort of security that the mission would be 100% completed.

Because of the reputation of the Guild, there was no mission that could not be completed. Every Mission that was posted through The Guild, everything was always completed and perfectly at that; because of these services, The Guild has a perfect reputation as a most elite mercenary organization.

Right now, Samiel planned to break through and reach the Bronze-Tier and increase his Level as much as possible before they would be taking off on the journey. That was because he felt that right now was the most suitable time for that, and he also got the required resources as he exchanged for the 841 Silver-Tier Mana Crystals.

After he looked around, he followed after Yvraine and they arrived at their room, which was technically comparable to a presidential suite on Earth's best hotel. However, such treatment was to be expected because this establishment was solely for the members of The Guild.

Yvraine seemed to be pretty satisfied with it, as she nodded her head when she carefully examined the room before giving it the Imperial mark of approval.
