[Goblin Shaman's Staff]

Fortunately, it wasn't crushed by Big Snake, a straight wooden stick.

Because the shaman's arm wasn't caught, a perfect half of a goblin hand was still attached but crushed from the elbow down.

It's not worth much, but it still carries the shaman's magical aura, suitable as proof of conquest to be submitted to the Adventurer Guild.

[Hero's Luggage]

Nothing special, containing the girl's change of clothes.

The food inside hasn't spoiled.

→☆→☆→☆→✧←★←★←★←

When she headed out to the mine in the morning, the hero was brisk and energetic, but by the evening, she returned not only exhausted but also carrying an injured person.

No matter how constitutionally exceptional, a girl's body isn't made of iron.

Halfway through the return, her strength began to falter and she could only lay down the boy with insistence from him.

Supporting each other, they finally reached the city as the sun barely set and before the night fully set in.

They passed through the city gates under the somewhat surprised gaze of the Guard, both breathed a sigh of relief and took a long rest on a bench on the sidewalk.

Only when night fell and street lamps along the road lit up one by one, overshadowing the stars with the light from the Magic Stones did they finally conclude their rest.

"I can manage the rest of the way on my own."

The hero did not heed the boy's opinion, stubbornly shook her head, supported him, and insisted on walking him to his house door.

Under the hero's watch, the boy looked back three times with every step he took until he reached his door.

He opened the door, and his figure disappeared in the warm light.

Soon after, a lively noise erupted from inside the home.

"My goodness, how did you end up like this!?"

"Mom, I'm sorry..."

Hearing the noisy sounds from the house, the hero showed the first smile of the day.

Then she picked up her backpack and walked, with somewhat staggering steps, back to her own home.

Despite washing off the dirt and changing into clean clothes from her luggage, the hero's face still wore exhaustion, unable to hide the dishevelment clinging to her.

This city is considered prosperous within the Kingdom, with brightly lit streets and bustling with people even under the cloak of night.

Some walk with light steps and some heavy, the hero doesn't stand out among them.

She walked under the street lamps for a while, until the pathogonal became sparse and there weren't many pedestrians around, she finally saw a large mansion.

From just the length of its fence, one could tell this mansion was sprawling and unaffordable for commoners.

Crossed gemstone Longswords, exquisitely carved golden door knockers all radiated strong magical energy, showing the power of the mansion's owner.

Also, in the courtyard was a large fountain, and atop the fountain was a large Bronze Effigy holding [].

1-4. Longsword

5-8. Staff♛

9. Beast Taming Whip

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(5)=5

These luxurious items, none failed to boast the noble status of this place.

Among the tops in the city, achieved nobility through strength, admired by countless Adventurers – the Military Merit Viscount, Mage Noble.

This is the Viscount's House.

And the hero, she is the Wu family's second daughter.

Powerful Magic protects the safety of the mansion, no need for Gatekeeper guards.

The hero merely placed her hand on the knocker, sensing the magic, the door automatically opened for her.

She walked through the courtyard and fountain, indifferent to the enviable objects, and knocked on her own house door.

Welcoming her was—

1.2. Housekeeper

3.4. Maid♛

5. Parents

6. Older sister

7. Mother

8. Father

9. Brother

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

D10=d10(4)=4

Seeing the maid opening the door to welcome her, the hero bit her lower lip.

"Miss? You've finally returned!" Seeing the miss who had been away for a day, the friendly maid breathed a sigh of relief.

She cautiously scanned her young mistress, filled with curiosity but seeing her downcast face, dared not to ask.

"...Yes."

The hero replied softly.

Although she had been missing for a day, it wasn't her family that welcomed her...

The maid, understanding the hero's thoughts, sighed softly in her heart. Although hesitant to say more, she still offered,

"Miss, do you need anything? Shall I prepare a hot bath for you?"

"Sorry to trouble you." The Hero did not refuse and bowed in thanks.

The Hero returned directly to their room, and without even washing up, collapsed onto the soft bed.

Battle Mage.

A family of Nobles proud of this profession.

Yet, the Hero, who hailed from such an enviable background, was neglected within the family.

[The reasons were——]

1. Lack of magical talent and thus not valued

2. Beast Spirit Mage? Not worth cultivating. ♛

3. Girls only need to wait to get married (presumed by brother)

4. The first child is a genius, the second one doesn't matter

5. 1

6. 2

7. 3

→☆→☆→☆→✧←★←★←★←

As a child, before they grew to dislike reading, the Hero had learned from books that there are two main categories of professions.

One is Innate Profession, the other is Acquired Profession.

The latter includes mainstream combat professions like warriors, mages, and shooters, as well as common life professions like forging and alchemy.

These professions all require learning, training, and the recognition of the Guild before one can officially take on the roles.

But Innate Professions aren't necessarily unique, and there are learnable ones as well,

yet those truly unique and unattainable by acquired means are often innate professions.

Elf Blessing, Foreign Soul Messenger, Demon Eye Master, Mechanical Spirit Master, Dragonborn Mage...

Such divinely gifted roles are not something everyone can possess. They are extremely rare and often wield unique and powerful abilities, sought after by many.

But in this family, the Hero's role as Beast Spirit Mage clearly did not receive such treatment.

For a family that has risen to nobility through the profession of Battle Mage, even an Innate Profession like Beast Spirit Mage holds no higher status than a common thief or a wandering swordsman.

Transforming into a beast...

Thinking of the way their mage parents looked at them, the Hero couldn't help but bury their head in the pillow.

Being the second daughter, she also has one —

1. brother ♛

2. sister

D2=1

"Miss, the hot water is ready."

The maid lightly knocked on the door, and the muffled voice from outside prompted the Hero to get up from the bed.

"...Where are Father and Mother?"

After opening the bedroom door, the Hero couldn't help but ask, but before the maid could reply, she shook her head with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter, they're either teaching my brother magic or taking him out for practical experience."

Either way, it was an activity that had nothing to do with her.

The maid bowed her head, hiding a hint of pity that she didn't want the young lady to see.

The Hero entered the spacious bathroom, handed her clothes to the maid, and asked her to leave.

After a quick rinse, she immersed her entire body into the steaming hot water infused with bath salts.

The milky water concealed the delicate figure of the young girl.

Her constitution was strong, something that all the maids knew, so the water temperature was slightly hotter than what normal people would use.

The somewhat scalding heat seeped into her body, dispersing all sorts of lingering discomfort.

At last, the Hero felt somewhat relieved, lifted her head to look at the ceiling through the misty steam and sighed deeply.

Whether transforming into a beast or having to personally hunt them, being a Beast Spirit Mage had nothing to do with the elegance and power of a Battle Mage.

The Hero was neither a genius in learning nor possessed the innate talent of a Mage.

Thus, naturally, as the second daughter, her presence was hardly valued,

whenever the family of four dined together, she felt that she alone was excluded,

each time the other three discussed Magic, she couldn't understand a word.

Her parents' attention was all on her brother who had the innate talent as a Mage, leaving her, this insignificant snake, with just the bare essentials of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Fortunately, as part of the Wu family, which prided itself on Magic, they didn't need to rely on marriage alliances to consolidate the family's influence, and they weren't short of money to support another child.

Otherwise, the Hero might have already been engaged to some Noble, ready to be married off.

Even though she was only fourteen, in the world of nobility, it was not unusual to have children at this age.

However, the identity of 'Hero' is only earned by those who make a living off killing Magic Creatures.

This 'living' is not just 'making a living' but a 'career' or even a 'lifetime'.

As long as one's hatred or determination towards Magic Creatures is firm enough, anyone can become a Hero,

capable of hunting Magic Creatures and growing stronger, everyone desires the power of a Hero, but not everyone has the resolve to make that commitment.

Moreover, most novice Heroes quickly die in the brutal reality of the world.

Only the Heroes who grow strong are formally recognized.

Although, for the Kingdom, the existence of Heroes is indispensable and absolutely necessary.

On the other hand, if there are too many Heroes, it signifies the widespread suffering caused by Magic Creatures, spreading hatred everywhere, and it suggests that the Kingdom is in grave danger.

In a world where Magic Creatures cannot be completely eradicated, a decline in Heroes could both symbolize national peace and indicate a gradual weakening of national strength, a distinct contradiction.

Thus, the Kingdom is also vigorously developing professional skills, hoping that through exploration, research, training, and exercise, more powerful individuals will emerge.

The Hero submerged her head into the hot water, her dark, deep green hair spreading out with the waves.

[Hair length (short-medium-long, considering combat-40, longest to behind the shoulder)]

D60=d60(33)=33

Holding her breath for a while, the Hero raised her head, gathering her wet hair.

She stared down at the milky white surface of the water, vaguely reflecting her eyes, which matched those of her father and brother.

[Hero's eye color RGB value]

3d255=119.210.102

Like tender green sprouts of early spring, her pupils were delicate emerald green... Her close friend had once praised her eyes, saying they were as clear as gemstones.

If she told her father and brother that she had become a Hero, showing them the Magic Wand she had seized, would they change their perception of her?

But she didn't become a Hero for that reason, and they would probably just shake their heads.

Not to mention, what she hated was a Goblin that could be killed by a Fireball Technique in large numbers.

Saying this would only earn her more strange looks.

The Hero submerged her head again, bubbling out a few breaths.

Until she felt the water cooling, she then ended her bath.

The Hero got dressed, returned to bed, stopped thinking, and fell into a deep sleep.

What should she do tomorrow...

[Next actions for the Hero—]
