The Rise Of Calamity

The merchant tried to convince Analysis to tell me what he knew for the whole night, I finally gave up when the sun rose once again.

The gentle orangey-yellow rays shone through the glass window and glistened within my room. At the same time, I looked outside of the window with my mask on from the 3rd floor, looking down at the city people that had started waking up and going to work early in the morning. 

While some looked moderately well off, others looked slightly poorer than the others, yet there was not a single person in this area that looked significantly poor and we were considered to be in the lower parts of the city.

The city was divided into 3 divisions. The first division, also known as the central division, is where the city's Lord, mayor, nobles, and significant figures stayed. The second division was mainly filled with servants of the central division, merchants, merchant stores, and many of the minor nobles, as well as the middle class, stayed. Many of those who were mercenaries/adventurers that also resided in the guild usually stayed in the second division too.

The third division however was mainly used for the working class and those on special missions that need a quick way to get out of the city without having to go through all the checks usually administered after leaving the second division. While the last division was considered the slums, the houses were not bad, the stores were not out of stock nor were there any problems when it came to accommodations for those who had to leave quickly whenever the situation needed it.

People like me, who were on missions sent by their guilds, would be given accommodations like the one I and June had spent the night in. These accommodations were usually larger, more luxurious, and much more ergonomic than the "not so bad" houses I could see from outside the window. Clearly, this city had many guests and was very welcoming of them.

After watching the people come out of their homes and walk to work for almost 30 minutes, I became extremely bored, subsequently followed by me leaving my room, going to the first floor, and leaving the building. Not long after, I found myself in front of the door of a bar while I dreamed of getting drunk for the first time in my life.

"How blissful that feeling would be" I muttered under my breath while reminiscing my alcoholic days.

"Hey?" A masculine voice came from the side, immediately grabbing my attention and making me look towards the person with skepticism.

"Yeah?" I tilted my head a little

"Are you new here?" The boy, at least 19 years old, replied casually.

The boy had glamorous lead-blue hair that slowly faded to black the further down the hair you went. His hair looked soft and curly, yet shart at the edges. However, most of his hair ended on the top of his head due to him having a high fade on the sides of his hair.

He had equally lead-blue eyes, yet they had a feeling that made one feel like they were looking at the sky whenever they looked into his eyes. At the same time, his eyes flashed an emerald green color now and then, while his pupil also flashed red sometimes.

His body was quite well built, standing at 5ft 11 with a muscular yet lean physique.

His hair ruffled every time the wind was blue, but it would always return to its original shape.

"I'm on a mission, so yes" I replied nonchalantly while taking a step towards the door of the bar.

"Really? Are you on the mission of finding the Thunder Dragons and Pheonix Feathers guilds?" The boy asked with a wide smile

"What is your name?" I turned around and asked. However, I seemed to have taken him by surprise as it had taken him a few seconds to speak.

"Uhm... My name is Zaji"

"Zaji?" I raised a brow

"Zaji Lancaster"

To say I was quite happy to not have to see the lustful status would be an understatement. 

'I can finally make a male friend! Someone who can understand my pain!' I inwardly cheered

"Can I know your name?" Then he scratched his cheek

"Lilith" I replied simply

"L-Lilith?" The boy stuttered while trying to retreat slowly.

"Yes? Is there a problem?" I narrowed my eyes and started to move the mana particles in the air to create bullets the instant I felt something off.

"Like, THAT Lilith? The one from the wanted posters?" The boy stammered

The moment those words left his mouth, I felt my entire body tense up.

"I'm wanted?!" I could not help but exclaim in excitement. Didn't this mean that lots of strong people will be attacking me for no good reason? This meant for celebration!

"Y-yes. You are wanted in apparently a lot of the local cities for killing an heir of a well-known minor-noble family..." After seeing my reaction, he seemed to have calmed down a little, yet he still looked like he was on guard against me.

"Do you know who it was? And why didn't you recognize me when you first saw me if you know about me?" 

"I'm not sure what noble it was. And for your second question, I only actually know your name because someone in my party told me your name and what you had done... Your rumors don't do you justice though..."

"What do you mean?" I tilted my head to the right

"Uhm, well, when people describe you I imagine an ugly demon that drinks the blood of the ones she kills, but right now even with your mask on, I feel like you are a lot more beautiful than any of those guys had described." The boy blushed
