With newfound confidence in his magical abilities, Arlen returned to the Rivenford Adventurer's Guild to update his profile. At the registration desk, he reported his progress, demonstrating a simple light spell for the receptionist. She nodded approvingly and made a note in the guild's records, officially listing Arlen as an adventurer with both martial and magical aptitude.
This small change had a big impact. With magic now part of his official skillset, Arlen gained access to a broader range of quests—especially those requiring magical problem-solving. He was invited to join parties needing a versatile fighter-mage and received offers to participate in research expeditions and magical item retrievals.
Most exciting of all, Arlen learned about dungeons—ancient, mysterious labyrinths filled with monsters, traps, and lost treasures. Only adventurers with certain qualifications could enter, and his new status made him eligible for the lower-tier expeditions. The guildmaster explained the risks and rewards: dungeons were dangerous but offered rapid growth, rare loot, and the chance to prove one's worth.
Arlen also discovered he could join magical dueling tournaments, help investigate arcane phenomena, and assist in defending the town from magical creatures. The possibilities seemed endless.
As he browsed the updated quest boards, Arlen felt a surge of excitement. With sword in hand and magic at his fingertips, he was ready to take on challenges he'd only dreamed of before. The world had just opened up before him, and he was determined to seize every opportunity.
