My Soul card is a Reaper

During the following week, the rumors about a mysterious adventurer of Everlasting Guild completing S-class quests at a rapid pace spread all over the city.

Not just city, the unnamed expert of Everlasting guild even became famous all over the world due to the fact that most S-class quests issued by the clients were usually posted in multiple top guilds of several cities.

Completing those quests first is the same as stealing from other guilds too.

In one week, Azzy, under the identity of Gary and wearing a mask, had completed more than twenty S-class quests, all of which involved killing strong beasts on different planets from the lower plane of Eldara.

Overall, including the carcasses of other monsters he sold to the guild, he earned more than twenty million grace shards, which would be enough for him to buy a house anywhere in the city he was residing in.

Everyone was curious about his identity.

Meanwhile, his public identity as Azrael of Archeon guild, he had yet to submit the materials for the quest he took over a week ago.

Currently, he was doing just that, after selling away the carcass of Vyzrath to Everlasting guild.

He didn't attract much attention compared to the last as it had already been a week since his sighting at the guild hall. No one remembered him.

However, as he approached the reception desk where a familiar pointy-eared Nephilim was handling the quest rewards for the adventurer, the latter saw him and her face lit up instantly, taking the initiative to call him, "Azrael, you are here at last. I was really worried that something might have happened to you." She let out a sigh of relief, sending away the adventurer with his reward money.

Azzy waved his hand with a smile, "Hi Lysa. Well, it's an unlimited quest. So, I can't return with a few numbers." Reaching the desk, he added, "Moreover, it was tough to kill those sand vipers without alarming Vyzrath. After learning the beast lord was killed by that expert, I returned to that desert world to kill more until I can't find any."

"Oh, I guess you are indeed lucky. So, how many of them have you gathered?" Lysa asked.

Azzy pulled out the dimension bag that he received from his master years ago. He never used it because he already had a platinum-grade storage card. However, he cannot reveal storage cards in this world, as it will only generate unnecessary greed from people.

Hence, he summoned the dimension bag, and poured down the heads of the vipers on the floor, making a large heap and earning the attention of the adventurers standing around.

The sand vipers are as big as your average cobra, each about 3ft big. The heads aren't that big. But, as the heap was atleast six feet at the bottom and the top almost reached Azzy's shoulder height, meaning there were more than ten thousand heads poured down.

"This…" As Lysa's eyes widened, Azzy said, "Sorry, but I don't know how to extract those venom glands properly. So, I just cut off their entire heads." Rubbing his head in embarrassment, he added with a sheepish smile, "I don't know how many there are though. I just killed every sand viper I managed to find."

At once, dozens of gazes fell upon Azzy.

"Uhh? I need to find the manager…" She rushed off once again to the manager's office; a familiar thing to Azzy. He could only wait in silence.

As if history repeated one more time, he heard another familiar voice from behind, an annoying voice, to be fact, "So, you have returned at last, after causing trouble for every other guild out there."

Azzy glanced behind; his face darkened instantly, "You are still here, Mr. exhibitionist? And what do you mean I'm causing trouble for others?"

It was the same topless guy showing off his muscles and battle scars, although there was no babe in his arms this time. He was alone.

Liam approached the heap of viper heads, which released quite a heavy fresh scent of blood in its immediate surroundings, "Don't you think it is too much of a coincidence that both you and that mysterious masked Angel appeared at the same time in this city? He killed Vyzrath and you gathered the sand viper heads in the region and that too, so many."

Azzy's heart skipped a beat for a moment before he calmed down and said, "You have great potential as a writer. You can change your career if you ever lose your limbs someday because of your nonsensical imagination, which I'm sure will happen soon if you continue to annoy me."

His image of the Nephilims in this world has already fallen due to the restrictions they put on Elemental Nephilims like Rynmere. But, ever since he stepped inside the guild, this thickskinned shameless fellow was constantly testing his patience to the point that Azzy wanted to electrocute him to death if an opportunity arose.

And right now, this guy even somehow discerned the fact that he and the overpowered angel are both the same. That confidence in his tone was something else.

Furthermore, just as he expected, his warning had no effect on Liam, who replied with a wink and a grin, "I don't understand your thoughts, but I figured out why you refused the invitation to join my team. The fact that you didn't use a masked persona in the first place clearly indicates that you don't have any prior knowledge about the guild system or this place. You have only stuck on killing monsters so far, which is quite simple but you aren't aware that even simple actions like these are bound to attract too much attention in this world. In that case, it is better to stick with an influential local who can assist you on how to blend in and not stand out even while accomplishing amazing feats. So, how about it? Feel like joining my team?"

"Hey, look over there. Liam is speaking to someone"

"I think I have seen that guy somewhere"

"I remember him. Isn't he the guy Liam wanted to recruit last week but got rejected?"

"Say, did Liam just say that this young kid is the same mysterious expert of Everlasting guild?"

"That would be crazy, right? It doesn't make sense."

"Didn't you hear his words properly? This fellow seems to be unaware of how the rules work in this world."

"But, why would one want to hide their identity anyway and that too work in two different guilds?"

"Not everyone wants fame and attention"

"Then, why bother coming to this guild? He can just continue to stay at Everlasting guild"

"Hmm, that's right. It doesn't make sense indeed."

"Liam seemed like he had gone crazy. Did he get injured in his last mission or something?"

"But, I have to say, even though vipers are weak, he gathered an awful number of them. There must be thousands. Just look at the heap."

"C'mon, surely, he had help. Even our guild leader couldn't massacre so many in a week. There must be a team."

"How much do you think he would make from this? One million grace shards?"

"Might be higher because it was technically an A-rank quest"

"Nope, it was degraded to D-rank after the death of Vyzrath. He submitted it after its death. Did you forget the guild policy? So, I don't think he will earn much."

As whispers floated around as they did last time, Azzy meanwhile no longer bothered himself to deal with troublesome Liam who seemed like he had seen through him. He didn't give any reply and merely stood in silence, paying attention to the empty desk.

"Azrael, you are awfully quiet. Are you thinking about my offer?" Liam pushed him more.

Azzy stayed calm as he spoke, "It is useless to argue with an obstinate person like you, who doesn't like to listen to others and just go on stubbornly believing what you want to believe."

"Obstinate?" Liam was slightly taken aback by Azzy's comment but stuck to his argument as he left, "Fine, I don't bother you. Just remember my offer."

After he left, Lysa returned with the manager. It was the first Azzy met the manager of this Archeon Guild.

He was a tall man with a lean build, short black hair, and wore a monocle on his left eye. His unique purple eyes with dots on his sclera particularly stood out.

The manager reached Azzy but went past him instead of greeting him and closely observed the heap of viper heads from all sides, "Hmm… about 26135 vipers, meaning 52270 venom glands. Originally, each gland was worth 100 grace shards due to the rise of market prices, but the quest is dropped to D, which will only net a gland one grace shard.

However, we now possess too many venom glands. We can regulate their prices on the market for a while. Moreover, we still have to do labor to extract venom glands without damaging them. Hmm…"

After pondering on it for a while, he cast a sidelong glance at Azzy and said, "Considering everything, the guild would pay you 24 grace shards per viper head. A total of 627,240 grace shards as your payment. Do you accept it?"

Azzy didn't think much of the amount due to his huge savings from other quests. He gave a subtle nod in silence.

The manager then shifted his attention to the receptionist, "Lysa, upgrade his medallion to red."

"Eh? Only one level up for such hard work?" Azzy raised his eyebrow in displeasure.
