Strongest Grimoire Of The Gods

Throughout the past several weeks, Tyr and the other members of Ultimatum traveled out of Seris and into a very small and remote kingdom called Mycopolis: the home of mushrooms.

Before arriving at Mycopolis, however, Ultimatum took on its fair share of troubles on its journey.

Many of these troubles were placed upon themselves. As they stopped by small villages and cities in Seris, they took on small quests here and there.

Defeating beasts, tending to crops, helping high-status people travel through states. Tending to crops was done by Tyr only, by the way, since he had to up his Hunter Rank.

"Tsk... I can't believe Im the only one that has to do this." Tyr thought to himself, picking up shit-covered haybales as he placed them into horse-feeding troughs.

His sleeves were rolled up, mud all over his face as he imagined his other group members hanging out at some brothel or whatever.

He shook his head, placing the haybale into the feeding trough before suddenly getting his hair chomped on by a horse.

"Argh! What the fuck!? That isn't hay, let go you stupid long-faced bastard!"

...

Tyr continued to work, 'Even though I did well on the exam, they only made me a C Rank Hunter. This mission Hanzo invited me on is an A+ Rank, which apparently means I have to be at least an A Rank Hunter if I want to participate in it. This usually isn't the case in quests, but anything A+ Rank and above is an entirely new ballgame.

You need multiple S Class Hunter's to be able to take an A+ Rank dungeon or quest down.'

He wasn't very excited about what he had to do, but it wasn't like there was much of a choice.

As the days of traveling continued, Tyr advanced in his Hunter Rank gradually.

It took them multiple days sometimes to arrive at their next city, but each time they landed they made sure to make Tyr do a few harder quests around the place to earn the right to rank up as a Hunter.

Unfortunately for him, ranking up wasn't easy whatsoever.

It wasn't just some random power grade that determined his score, but rather a clergy member or high magistrate figure of a town that would assert his next rank depending on his previous missions and what not.

After two months, Tyr got to B Rank. They also left Seris, venturing out into a light mushroom forest biome.

The biome quickly became thick and expansive however as they dove deeper in.

Finding villages was even more rare in Mycopolis since the Moosh people of the kingdom were more closed into their culture themselves and not particularly nice to outsiders.

Only in more populated and prosperous villages were there any sign of Humans, and even there it was hard to get a decent quest.

Still, whenever they could find a place to stop and get a new quest thats exactly what they did for Tyr.

Tyr worked tirelessly, not wanting to let his team down. He had grown very close to them through this time.

He had gone through trails and tribulations, near death scenarios that were so crazy that they all laughed about it in the end.

To everyone in his party, Tyr felt more like they were his family than anyone back on Earth except for his grandfather of course.

He also leveled up along the way, his body strengthening while his brain became blistered and brittle.

Above all, Tyr respected the experience he got out of it... although he knew he would never want to do all of it again if he had a choice.

At this current moment, Tyr and the others sat around the campfire after traveling for 6 days without a single Moosh town or village in sight.

This was the longest distance between any town in both Seris and Mycopolis, but it was going to be worth it.

Why? Well, where Tyr and the others were headed was no joke. Mycelia, the city of quests. It was known as the Hunter's den due to the fact that it was surrounded by such a dangerous array of beasts.

Many hunters took post there, ranking up their class by taking on the multitude of quests that would come in each day due to the high number of beast attacks around the place.

But of course, this came with its own downsides.

"I can't believe im still not A Rank..." Tyr exclaimed, sighing as he laid back on Rudra who was behind him. It felt like falling into a sea of warm marshmellows.

"I think you are." Jonas replied, "We just haven't tested it for a while. Let's see what they tell you in Mycelia."

"Yeah... hopefully. If not, I won't be able to do the quest." Tyr replied, crossing his fingers metaphorically.

"Im just happy they chose to specifically ask for Ultimatum. Thanks to Hanzo, its name has been spread all over Seris and it has even spilled over into other kingdoms." Cyllia chuckled as she played with the campfire charcoal with a stick.

"Nah... we all made that happen. Don't just give all the credit to me." Hanzo replied, his tone a bit nonchalant.

Cyllia was a bit taken aback to hear this, as if she hadn't thought of it that way before.

"I-I guess you're right. We all played a part." She said, pausing for a moment before saying, "This is really the oppurtuinity of a lifetime. The prize is 35,000 gold after all."

"Yeah, split that into 6 and we have ourselves enough money to live lavishly for a while." Jonas said with a grin on his face.

"I still can't believe that's a real possibility... its crazy to imagine how much a single person is willing to pay for their safety," Tyr exclaimed, gazing at everyone's expressions.

'It's clear that everyone is excited for this quest. It truly is life-changing. I imagine a few of them may quit being a Hunter all together after this quest...' Tyr thought to himself.

'Apparently, all we have to do is help a Royal go through a large dungeon that has been discovered near Mycelia. This Royal bought the rights to the dungeon quickly, and now wants the best of the best Hunter's in the region to help him. Since he already bought the rights to the dungeon, we can't participate in its rewards. But still, the 35,000 gold prize is quite enough for us.'

"5833 gold huh? That aint enough for me whatsoever!" Yurin suddenly blurted, "I gotta keep going until I have at least 10,000 in my hands. That's the life goal! After that, I can spend the rest of my time leisurely, doing whatever I want." He declared in a joking manner.

"Yeah well, try and make sure to actually complete the quest and not die in the process first," Hanzo replied as the entire squad broke out into a heap of laughter.

"I think its time we sleep." Tyr exclaimed, closing his eyes.

"Sounds like a plan..." Cyllia replied.

Hanzo was the last to speak: "We will wake up early tommorow and arrive at Mycelia. Be ready for any crazy antics... it's the meeting place of the strongest Hunters in the South of our continent after all..."
