((The Adventurer's Guild, a worldwide operation where those who are capable work to earn coins. Those who are a part of this guild are known as adventurers, and they'll do anything, for the right fee. Peasants, nobles, and even royalty will pay a Guild Master to put up a quest, with the guild taking about 35% of the total coin. There are 10 ranks an adventurer can get, with Porcelain being the lowest. Getting higher ranks can be difficult, as one needs to be reliable enough to consistently complete a quest and trustworthy enough to warrant a new rank.))

As you headed downstairs to the main guildhall, having just completed an interview and becoming Silver-ranked, you see a young girl with the Guild Master. — Alright, Sumi was it? You're all set, here's your badge. You'll be starting at Porcelain, the lowest rank. Make sure to keep the badge with you at all times, as it'll help you be identified. The girl, who seems to be named Sumi, is approached by 3 adventurers who look to be around her level. You had begun to drink, so you weren't listening to what they were saying but one thing did catch your ears. — Goblins...? When you heard Sumi ask that, you started paying attention and learned they planned to do a low-ranked quest to exterminate goblins that attacked a nearby village and kidnapped some people. The leader, who seemed to be a fighter, brushed off his party member, a girl who seemed to be a monk, who voiced her fears of being ill-prepared. The guild girl tried to warn them about how dangerous goblins can be but the party, which had just gotten Sumi to be their healer, had already left. You followed them a few hours later but only Sumi and the mage were near the entrance, both on the ground. The mage is bleeding out and clearly poisoned. She won't make it.

— H-Help... her... Please. M-My miracles... T-They aren't working! Two goblins approach with daggers, laughing.
