• Luna escorted Moss to a reception room upstairs and served her tea while they waited for the guides.

• Luna stepped in to stop the others from crowding Moss, and Anlia confirmed that the group would take the novice guidance mission.

• Luna explained the beginner guidance program and gave Moss and Celia contracts to sign.

• Anlia lifted Moss into a tight hug after realizing she was a beastkin, while the others commented on her ears and appearance.

Moss learned how the Adventurer's Guild ranked commissions and explained why the Featherwing Adventurer Group could accept Diamond-grade work. After Lina registered the group's chosen commissions, Anlia took Moss to shop for weapons and armor, offering to pay for her first adventure.

• Moss considered how her appearance, fabricated Totem Warrior abilities, and invented orphan story would help her pass as an orc, though the Featherwing Adventurer Group had already taken to her.
• Anlia explained commission ranks, party qualifications, and how higher-ranked assignments were handled, while Moss asked about the guild's most valuable work.
• Moss saw a 100,000 Gold Coin Orichalcum-level commission to find an elven elixir in Yisu Forest and heard about the dangers of a cesspit-cleaning job.
• Anlia said Adamantine-grade commissions were confidential and that only five parties could accept them, while a Legendary Rank commission had appeared only once.
• Lina registered the commissions chosen by the group, and Anlia took Moss to the weapons shop, offering to buy her equipment.

Moss accompanied Anlia to Weapon Street to shop for weapons and armor, where Anlia introduced her to Shantru’s forge. Anlia taught Moss a sword stance, which gave Moss the Swordsmanship talent, and Shantru finally stopped smithing to greet them.

• Moss gained the Swordsmanship talent while following Anlia’s instructions and thanked her for teaching her.
• Shantru stopped hammering and greeted Anlia, then suggested that Moss choose a lighter weapon.

• Anlia asked Shantru to give Moss a discount, but Shantru rejected the short sword Anlia had chosen because its balance did not suit Moss.
• Shantru felt Moss’s arm, realized she was a beastman with strength like a dwarf’s, and went to find her a suitable weapon.
• Anlia was astonished by Moss’s strength, and Moss explained that she was a Totem Warrior before escaping Anlia’s enthusiastic hug.
• Shantru asked Moss if she was a Totem Warrior, then opened a chest and revealed Black Crystal Mist, a pair of fingerless gauntlets.

Moss tested and passed Black Crystal Mist’s gravity trial, gaining an optimized Gravity Resistance talent and the knuckle guards as a gift. Shantru watched her leave and hoped Rose’s prophecy was true, believing he had found the Child of Divine Favor.

• Shantru explained that his elven friend had designed and forged Black Crystal Mist, then asked Moss to try on the knuckle guards.
• Black Crystal Mist shrank to fit Moss, then unleashed crushing gravity that forced her onto one knee.

• Black Crystal Mist transformed into a pattern on Moss’s hands and reappeared when she summoned it; Anlia celebrated and hugged her.
• Shantru gave Black Crystal Mist to Moss for free, then watched Moss and Anlia leave and said he had found the Child of Divine Favor.

Shantru recalled how Roselite sacrificed herself to create Black Crystal Mist and left a prophecy naming its destined wielder, the Child of Divine Favor. After recognizing Moss as the likely prophesied person, he resolved to test her, while Moss learned of the prophecy as she walked with Anlia toward the Adventurer's Guild.

• Shantru remembered meeting Roselite, their failed attempt to forge a Legendary weapon, and her disappearance into the furnace, where Black Crystal Mist was created.
• Shantru found Roselite's suicide note, which said the Child of Divine Favor would end the chaos caused by the Alien Gods and that Black Crystal Mist was meant for her.
• Shantru connected Moss's appearance and Black Crystal Mist's reaction to Roselite's prophecy, then decided to test whether Moss was the Child of Divine Favor.
• A mouse relayed Shantru's words to Moss, who wondered why fate had brought her to this world and resolved to keep going without surrendering Black Crystal Mist.
• Moss and Anlia continued to the Adventurer's Guild, where three people were waiting outside.

Moss showed the Featherwing Adventurer Group the Black Crystal Mist, a gauntlet that wielded gravity magic, and secretly gained the Gravity Manipulation talent after activating it. The group then set out by carriage to complete four nearby missions.

• Winsa, Anlia, and Lize met Moss and Anlia at the gate, where Moss revealed the weapon Grandpa Shantru had given her.
• Moss activated the Black Crystal Mist’s Gravity Stack, astonishing Lina, Winsa, and Lize with its ability to increase gravity up to 10x.
• Moss secretly reflected that the gauntlet could reach 100x gravity and that using it had granted her the Gravity Manipulation talent.
• Anlia gathered the Featherwing Adventurer Group and led them toward the carriage station to begin four missions near Hill City.

Anlia taught Moss how adventurers chose and completed quests, stressing that monster extermination missions meant saving lives and had to be handled personally. As the party left Hill City, Moss sensed a large group approaching across the grassland but kept quiet, then moved to sit beside Winsa.

• Winsa loaded the supplies, and the party set off for Nange Village with four quests chosen along their route.
• Anlia explained that adventurers should choose quests suited to their abilities and could use different methods, including trade, to fulfill many quest requirements.
• Anlia warned Moss that monster extermination quests represented people's lives and could not be left for someone else to complete.
• After the wagon left Hill City, Moss sensed many creatures moving toward them across the grassland but decided not to warn the others yet.
• Moss asked to sit beside Winsa, and Winsa helped her climb into the front of the wagon.

Anlia, Winsa, Lina, and Moss encountered a Fire Wolf Pack while traveling through Hill City's territory and escaped the initial charge with smoke, wind magic, and a flare to alert the patrols. As Lina protected the carriage from the pursuing Fire Coyotes, Anlia invited Moss to test her abilities, and Moss prepared to attack with Water Strike.

• Moss asked Anlia about the wolves in the distance, and Anlia recognized them as a Fire Wolf Pack approaching the carriage.
• Winsa steered the carriage off the road while Anlia spread Beast Repellent and Lina used Cyclone Shot to scatter the Fire Coyotes long enough for them to escape.
• Anlia fired a red flare to report the monster pack, then assessed the Silver Rank Fire Coyotes still pursuing them.
• Lina blasted the pursuing wolves with Gale Impact and shielded the carriage with Cyclone Barrier as the Coyotes attacked with fireballs.
• Anlia asked Moss to attack the pursuing Fire Coyotes, and Moss formed a water droplet and cast Water Strike.

Moss demonstrated her strength as Anlia’s carriage fled a Fire Wolf Pack, then the party encountered the Golden Lion Knights, who retreated after receiving Anlia’s signal. With the pursuing wolves closing in and the horses exhausted, Anlia ordered the carriage to stop, and Lize leapt out to kill five Fire Coyotes.

• Moss killed a pursuing Fire Coyote with a water projectile, impressing Anlia.
• Winsa spotted an army of about forty people, and Anlia fired a black signal flare to warn them about the Fire Wolf Pack.
• General Angsa told Lady Anis and Lady Juli about the signal, then led the Golden Lion Knights in retreat.
• Moss sensed a gigantic monster in the direction of the retreating army but kept the warning to herself.
• After most of the wolves fell behind, Anlia stopped the exhausted carriage and called for Lina and Lize.
• Lize sprang from the carriage and killed five Fire Coyotes with five swift sword strikes.

Lize killed the pursuing Fire Coyotes with her Unique Skill, Sword Demon, and Moss learned about the skill’s power while Anlia began teaching her to skin the beasts. The lesson was interrupted when Lize reported that the army had turned back and was surrounded by wolves.

• Lize killed nine Fire Coyotes with precise sword strikes, then returned to her timid demeanor after sheathing her sword.
• Anlia explained that Lize’s Unique Skill, Sword Demon, enhanced her swordsmanship and fighting spirit while affecting her personality, and Moss compared it to the legendary Sword Saint.
• Anlia and Moss prepared to skin the seven Fire Coyotes that met the commission requirements, while Lize went to keep watch.
• Anlia demonstrated how to remove a Fire Coyote’s hide, then handed Moss a knife so she could try the technique herself.
