Morning.

Everyone in the city of Rimuru has heard the news that their Prince will go on an adventure and explore solo. They all fully supported him and wish him luck.

Shuna, with the help of Kaijin and Kurobe made new clothes for Shiro made of a magical thread gifted by the dryads. The clothes made from this has functions like automatically fitting the size of the wearer, auto-cleaning, and self-repairing.

The clothes are a black shirt, a black coat with a red fire insignia on the back, black pants with a belt that has a holster for a sword, black boots, a red scarf, and finally a fingerless glove that fits on the left hand. The last one was personally asked by Shiro, for which Shuna didn't know the reason for and just complied with the request.

Shiro also asked both Kaijin and Kurobe for a new katana as a backup or spare weapon. It was made with magic steel and the blade glistened when unsheathed. The handle was white and the handguard is sculpted to look like a fox curled around the sword, sleeping. When Shiro received it he named it "Hikari" by Shiro because of its glistening blade. Kurobe carved the kanji for Hikari (光) on the base of the blade per Shiro's request. {A/N: Hikari means light in case you didn't know.}

With Shiro having the ability to enchant any item with the effects of the Anti-Demon Mask, he took out a golden ring from his inventory.

Defeating Charybdis cleared a hidden quest that required him to defeat a calamity-class monster. The rewards that gave him are 3, 6★ gacha tickets, 1 for weapons, 1 for armor, and 1 for powers, and a randomized gacha ticket.

He saved the 6★ gacha tickets to use them for later and used the random gacha ticket which gave him...

«Congratulations for winning: The One Ring replica.» {A/N: Again in case you didn't know, The One Ring is the famous ring in Lord Of The Rings. Myyy preciiioooouusssss.}

Initially Shiro thought this was a piece of trash, that he should've won the actual One Ring, but he had an idea. Instead of using a mask like Rimuru, he enchanted the effects into the metal replica. The resulting product is the "Anti-Demon Ring". It still has the design, the writing, and its golden shimmer but it has the aura suppressing function.

...

A few days later, he's finally ready.

Currently in his human form, he's wearing the newly made clothes and a sheathed Kusabimaru holstered at his belt. The Anti-Demon Ring slipped on his right index finger and a red scarf nestled on his neck.

He looked back, everyone is waving at him, wishing for his safety. He smiled at them and waved back.

"Be safe." Rimuru said.

"I will." Shiro replied.

And with that he departed. Running on the brick road at high speeds that can rival Ranga, leaning forward while his arms stretched behind him. He could just run normally, but his passion wouldn't allow it. He could also just fly, but he wanted to go on foot just to actually feel that it's an adventure.

This continued on until dawn. He stopped and settled down on a nearby tree, hunted a small animal and cooked it. His destination is the Kingdom of Blumund, where he will apply as an adventurer.

This continued more. At day running and at night eating and resting. Sometimes running into some high orcs and spending the night with them and helping them a bit with some stuff.

5 days later he could see stone walls far away. He slowed on at a normal walking pace until he eventually met people. Some going to the stone wall and some going the opposite direction, to the country of Tempest, curious about the nation of monsters that supposedly helped the hero Youm defeat the Orc Disaster.

A while later the humans that he could see started to grow in numbers. Merchants, adventurers, commoners, and soldiers on guard duty.

He could see a line of various people at the front of a gate in the stone wall. Shiro joined in line and waited until it was his turn.

"Identification?"

"Uhhh... I don't have one... does this count?"

Shiro put his hand in his coat and took out the letter of recommendation he asked Fuse to make from his inventory, pretending that the letter is in his coat pocket. He handed the letter.

The guard opened the letter and read its contents, to which his eyes widened in surprise.

"It does, but I recommend that you get an adventurer's ID from the Free Guild. You look strong enough, or is that sword just for show?"

"That's my goal from the beginning, and no, I know how to use this." Shiro tapped his sword.

The guard handed back the letter and Shiro returned the letter to his "coat pocket".

"Welcome to Blumund kid."

The guard allowed entry for the white haired young man and he entered. He was greeted by many people walking in the street, doing various stuff.

Bars, blacksmiths, general stores, weapon stores, inns, etc. could be found with people entering and exiting them.

Shiro approached a random citizen and asked for directions to the Free Guild. The citizen gave him direction and Shiro could sense a bit of jealousy from the man.

He followed the directions given to him until he found a building that stands out from the rest. He entered inside and found men and women dressed in clothes that corresponds to their class. Armor and swords for swordsmen, robes and staves for the magicians, etc.

Shiro could feels stares at him, some with jealousy, some with l.u.s.t, and some with anger. A feeling he's familiar with when he went back to Earth.

He walked up to the receptionist. "I'd like to apply, here's a letter of recommendation."

"Y-y-yes! W-w-wait for a moment please!"

She handed a form to Shiro. "Please fill in you name, age, and your d.e.s.i.r.ed division."

Shiro filled in his name, his age as 18 years old, and his division into Subjugation division.

The receptionist took the form. "Please go there for the rank examination."

Shiro followed the directions to an open area with a magic formation in the middle. An audience formed up, curious about this newcomer that has the recommendation of the guild master.

"Hey kid! Nice to see you here!"

"Fuze! How are you?"

"Finishing alot of paperwork for the trade with your country, I'm fine."

"So when's the exam going to start?"

"About... now." Fuze walked out of the formation and went back to his office.

A man showed up that has a pegleg and holding a cane for support.

"I'm Jiggis, your proctor for the exam."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Shiro."

"Just so you know, having the guild master as your acquaintance doesn't mean anything. You'll still need to pass the test."

"I understand."

"We'll start with an E-ra-"

"Give me a B-rank test."

The request from Shiro shocked the audience, including Jiggis.

"Hehehehe. Don't be c.o.c.ky brat. Fine, I'll you a B-rank test."

"Come... lesser demon!!"

«Notice. Attempting to acquire summoning magic [Demon Summoning].... Success]

'Nice!! Didn't even need to use [Copy]!'

"Let's see you fight this brat."

Shiro unsheathed the black blade.

«Notice. Physical attacks are ineffective against physical lifeforms.»

Hearing the warning Shiro controlled his magicules and created a magical aura that cloaks his sword.

He walked towards the lesser demon slowly and the latter rushed towards him. But before the demon could even touch him Shiro swiped his sword to the side and sliced the demon in half and killed it.

«Notice. Extra skill [Magic Haki] acquired.»

The audience was even more shocked even more by how effortlessly he killed the lesser demon. The trio, Kaval's party just recently joined the audience and were also shocked.

"Well that was weak. You got anything stronger? I want to try an A-rank test."

"I....I....I do. I can summon a greater demon.... but I can't guarantee your safety."

"Do it."

"Ok.... come... greater demon!!"

A magic circle appeared once more and a menacing creature came out of it. It had sentience and asked his summoner.

"What is thy bidding?"

"*pant*... *pant*.... defeat that guy." Jiggis, using up most of his magicules could barely stand.

"As you wish". The demon looked at Shiro... and attacked.

Shiro immediately dodged to the side and the demon threw 3 fireballs at him. Shiro sliced 2 of them, dispelling the magic and grabbed the 3rd fireball and threw it back at the demon.

The fireball hit the demon at the face and Shiro, using [InstantMove], an art he learned from Hakurou which is the name is self-explanatory, appeared behind the demon and sliced upwards with his sword still covered in [Magic Haki]. The demon died causing even more shock to the audience.

Shiro walked up to Jiggis, who was about faint.

"Here, drink this."

Shiro handed a small bottle containing a blue liquid. A full potion that he diluted with water, turning it into a high potion. Shiro had stocked up on Full Potions that was manufactured by Vesta, the exiled dwarf that King Gazel gave to Rimuru.

Jiggis took the potion and drank it. Fatigue left his body and rejuvenated him.

"A high potion huh? Are you a rich noble's son or something?"

"Something along those lines.... So Jiggis, am I qualified for A-rank?"

".....Yes... yes you are."

The audience cheered. Wit

"An A-rank??!?! Seriously?!?!"

"The first one to become an A-rank for a long time!"

Some planned to leech off of his strength.

"He's handsome too... *chuckles*"

"Stop that. Look at the ring, he's married."

"No he's not, the ring's at his index finger, not the ring finger."

"I doubt you'll seduce him."

Some wanted him to join their party.

"JOIN OUR PARTY!!"

"NO JOIN OURS!!"

"HEY WE WERE FIRST!!"

"SO WHAT?!?!"

And some in denial of his strength.

"Pfff. I bet I can beat him with one hand."

"You? A C-rank beating him? Keep dreaming."

"Shut up!!!"

Shiro walked back to the lobby and finally received his Adventurer's ID. Showing his face, name, and other information, but most importantly, his rank: A.
