"Damn that bitch, she dare order us around like that?!" A man wearing leather armor with a bow over his shoulder said in anger.
"She's the Guild Master's daughter. What if someone hears you?" Another warrior, more robust and bulkier than the archer said in panic.
"Who's gonna hear us out here in the middle of fucking nowhere? Huh? I thought so." Not waiting for a reply, the archer moved on ahead.
"Don't mind Jack, he always gets sour when that girl comes around since she rejected him a while back saying he was too weak." Hearing his tone, it seemed as if it were a common occurrence.
Alfred, the bulky man looked at his team leader and smiled faintly, earning a nod of approval from him.
"A good warrior doesn't stress over the small things. You'll have a bright future ahead of you." Hearing Rick, Alfred grinned a bit foolishly.
'Damn, muscular people really are easier to trick. Well, it's easier this way.' Rick thought as he slightly sped up.
Looking at Alfred's honest face made him feel bad if they had to flee. Jack was a ranger and Rick was a Warrior.
Alfred, who was a tank couldn't move as quickly, and would most likely be left behind if they encountered problems.
"Work on your speed you muscular idiot." Jack called from up ahead, earning a good natured laugh from Alfred.
"I'll try." Alfred sped up a bit, his body used to exerting itself, so he didn't mind it one bit.
...
As the trio explored the forest, a strange phenomenon appeared, hidden behind all the leaves and trees.
A complicated magic circle appeared with sparkling golden runes that orbited the circle happily.
The space in the magic circle seemed to expand and shrink, as if something were directly affecting the space in that area.
After a few moments, a thunderous boom sounded and the nearby trees were sent flying back like matchsticks in a storm.
The golden runes vanished, leaving behind a section of charred ground, with an egg sitting in the midst of it.
...
Jack heard a muffled boom and felt the ground quiver a bit, then nothing else happened. Looking back at the group leader and the big muscle head, he realized he was the only one that noticed the anomaly.
'There might have been some magical treasure forming! I sensed a strange aura for a moment, yet I can't tell what it was from.'
After making sure no one realized he had sped up, he quickly turned to the east and headed towards where the commotion sounded.
Even adventurers at the Bronze Rank couldn't help but feel greed at the thought of having a magical treasure to themselves.
After ten minutes of rapid moving, Jack slowed his pace and came to a stop in a clearing absent of trees. He could see the barren spot as if something had blown away the nearby trees.
The broken trees lay a a few tens of meters in the forest, hinting that whatever made the impact was extremely powerful, at least it had to be higher than Bronze Grade.
Jack walked into the clearing, his hands clenching in nervousness as he walked to the small pit that formed in the middle.
The pit wasn't deep, a few meters wide with something round inside. Unsure if it was a rock or some other precious material, Jack idled for a bit before making his resolve.
'If I get some precious material, I can probably buy a Silver Grade pill to advance to the Silver Rank. I might even be able to buy a mansion and some beautiful servants!'
With the thought of beautiful dreams swirling around in his mind, Jack approached the 'rock'. Ten feet, five feet...
Soon he stood right next to the rock and stooped down to inspect it when a sensation of danger made his back drip with cold sweat.
Turning around rapidly, he saw nothing, nor could he sense a threat. Turning back to the 'rock', he reached to pick it up his eyes still scanning the area.
Just as his hand made contact with the rock, he saw something moving in the corner of his eyes and then darkness rapidly covered his vision.
Silver Grade pill

@LORD_SHAXX Ah, yeah it was sad that one got dropped.
wearing leather armor
Might I nit pick and say that leather armour, unless you are a biker doesn't exist.
Medival armour would typically be, gamberson which is a tough lining jacket capable of stopping some arrows, over the top of that chainmail, and, a situated upon the head a helmet. This might be supplemented by a hide shield, either a buckler or a kite. Over certain parts of the body like groin and neck, an extra guard might be added but otherwise gamberson and mail were predominant across many societies, excluding Japan that lacquered their armour.
However quite interestingly, there does exist historical plate armour prior to the renaissance period, and it was Greek, and rather than metal it was made out of linen, linen bundled in such a way it was as hard as metal.
Nit picking over.
Interesting info to know so thanks! It does say "In a fantasy world" so uh, don't "lower ranked" or poorer people usually wear Leather armor? Guess it depends on the leather and what creature it comes from. You probably know this though.
