3rd person POV:

With a bag on his back that had a few supplies, a few pieces of simple leather armor around him here and there, (Y/n) walked alone on the open road.

Following the rising sun, he walked on a simple dirt path in the forest.

The wind blew through the trees, gently shaking them. (Y/n) began feeling the gentle breeze caress his skin. As he breathes in the fresh open air, he couldn't help but smile.

Other than a few slight hiccups, his retirement plan went on smoothly for the most part.

No longer did he have to deal with idiotic demons that didn't know the difference between blood and apple juice.

He was free as the wind.

Exiting the forest, he sees a small settlement in the near distance. 10 buildings at most made up the settlement.

Making his way to the settlement, he wondered to himself...

(Y/n):(mind) Where am I?

(Play opening)

(Y/n) enters some sort of bar-like building in the settlement.

The few people there staring at him, probably not used to outsiders they stare a bit too long.

Ignoring their gazes, he makes his way to the bar counter.

A woman, in her late forties, walks up to (Y/n).

Woman: What can I get ya?

(Y/n) puts two gold coins on the table.

(Y/n): Give me whatever this can get me.

The woman looks at the two coins for a moment, then shrugs while taking them.

Woman: One mug of juice coming right up.

Once (Y/n) received his drink, he quietly began to enjoy it.

Two younger folks then entered the bar. One was male, about twenty, blond hair, brown eyes, and wearing basic armor along with an ax attached to his back.

The second one was female, the same age as the male if not slightly older. Similar hair and eye color to the male, most likely siblings with the male.

She wore similarly quality armor but had a shield and spear.

The woman who served (Y/n) his drink, rolled her eyes at the two then tended to the dishes that needed washing.

Woman: Greg, Dora, go home.

The young lady spoke.

Dora: Auntie Lora, let us help out by getting rid of that monster.

Lora: It's too dangerous for the two you.

Greg: It's so dangerous that you won't even show us the request for it to be taken down?

Lora: You two would just look at the location and go after it.

Dora: No one else is going to take care of it, you need us to take care of it.

Lora: Ugh... I don't want to talk about this here.

Dora: What if we get one more person with us?

Lora: Yeah, fine...

Greg: We'll hold you to that.

Lora: Uh-huh...

The two then began mumbling stuff to each other. Then like wolves finding their prey, the see (Y/n) drinking juice like an old man drinks scotch, with silent joy.

While their aunt had there back turned to deal with something else, the two young siblings sat next to (Y/n).

Dora: Hey there handsome~

(Y/n): Don't use charms you clearly don't have.

Dora:?!

Dora: How-

(Y/n): Easily. Next question.

Greg: Ugh... We'll be straight with you. Accompany us with this one simple monster-slaying job, you'll get handsomely rewarded.

(Y/n): With?

Dora: A date with me?

(Y/n): Play to your strengths.

Dora:!

(Y/n): I'm not interested in chaperoning you two.

Greg: Come on. You don't have to do anything, just come along.

(Y/n):(sigh)... Do you have anything else to offer, besides her?

Dora: What do you want?

(Y/n):... A horse and directions.

The two siblings look at one another before nodding.

Dora: We can do that.

(Y/n): Then let's get this over with.

Greg: Auntie Lora! That monster request, please!

Lora:?

She turns around to see the siblings sitting beside (Y/n).

Dora: Our third member. Now if you would.

Lora:...

Lora begrudgingly takes out a flier from under the counter and slides it towards the three.

The siblings grab it and bolt out of the bar, before (Y/n) could even stand up.

When (Y/n) does stand up, Lora grabs his arm. He turns his head towards her.

Lora: You seem to be a little more experienced than them. Keep my niece and nephew safe, you hear me?

(Y/n):....

He drops his bag on the floor.

(Y/n): Watch my stuff.

He breaks out of her grip and goes after the siblings to catch up with them.

He then followed the siblings.

Dora: Finally, we can do our first real job

Greg: It took long enough.

(Y/n): What exactly is the job?

Dora: Just some monster kill quest a few miners put out. Some spiders invaded the mines.

(Y/n): I didn't see a mine when I came to the settlement, where is it?

Greg: A hour-long walk from here.

(Y/n): Of course, it is. Too bad, there isn't an animal that exists that could help us get there faster.

(Y/n): If there was such a creature I think I would call it a horse.

Dora: Walking is good for you. Stop complaining.

(Y/n): I wasn't complaining, I simply implying that there was a better way to go about this.

Greg: Don't worry and let us do what we do. You can sit back and watch.

(Y/n): Good to know that I don't have to do much. However, out of curiosity, what is it that you do?

Greg: Fight monsters of course.

(Y/n): You do?

Dora: We've mostly fought small wild animals but I'm sure we can handle this!

(Y/n): You two are either really brave or absolute morons.

Dora/Greg: Its bravery!

Exited they began racing towards the mines.

(Y/n):(mumbles) My bets on the latter...

Running after them, the three soon arrived at the entrance of the mine.

Greg: We've arrived!

(Y/n):(sarcastically) I would have never figured that out, thank you for shouting that so I would know.

Dora: Enough talk, there's a monster to slay!

Dora runs into the mines. (Y/n) stops Greg from going, allowing Dora to go in a little deeper before she stopped when she noticed the other two weren't with her.

Dora: What's the hold-up?!

Greg: Is something wrong?

(Y/n): Just checking for poison gas.

He walks into the mine.

Greg: Poison gas? Hahaha... That's not actually a thing... Right?

He quickly catches up with (Y/n) and Dora.

Deeper into the mine they went. Eventually igniting a torch so they could see. The siblings had their weapons at the ready, in case of some kind of ambush.

Eventually, they arrived at a large opening. There they saw the creature.

(Y/n): So what's your-

Greg/Dora: Charge!

Before he could finish his sentence, the two charged at the giant spider.

(Y/n):(sigh) Whatever...

He sits on a rock and begins to watch how the siblings attempt to defeat the giant spider.

Dora was first to attack. She used her spear to poke the spider, but it immediately knocked her back. Luckily her shield protected her from getting stabbed through the chest, but she was still knocked back.

The spider then quickly webbed her to the wall. The web covered her entire body, making her start suffocating.

Greg then made the mistake of looking back towards his sister and calling out to her sister as the spider would allow that.

It knocked him back, sending him sliding across the ground. He gets up while the spider shot another web.

Greg avoided getting fully covered, but his leg got caught in the web, making him trip.

The spider began walking towards him.

(Y/n):(sigh) I just sat down...

(Y/n) gets up. Walks up to Dora and uses his sword slit open an air hole for her.

Greg looks around for a way to escape, his eyes come across his ax which was on the ground. He came up with the bright idea of chopping off his leg to escape. He tries reaching out for it to grab it.

The spider stares at him with confusion.

Eventually, he grabs it and raises it up as the spider raises one of its arms up.

The two begin to swing down, however (Y/n) walked past Greg and yanked his ax out of his hands before he could chop his leg off. He then uses the ax to block the spider's attack.

(Y/n) then in a swift manner, pulled out his sword and chopped off the spider's leg that he used to attack.

After that, (Y/n) began walking around the spider, when it tried to turn around to face him, (Y/n) chopped off two more of its legs with one swing, causing the spider to fall prone.

He then walked back to the spider's face. He stabbed his sword through its head, then used the ax tho chop the head off, killing the spider.

Greg: How did you do that?!

(Y/n): Easily. You could have done it yourself if you had just attacked it while it was focused on your sister.

(Y/n): Speaking of which...

Dora: It's dark and sticky in here!

(Y/n): Uh-huh, sucks to be you.

Dora: It's in my hair!

(Y/n): It will wash out.

Greg: Really?

(Y/n):(slowly shakes head)

(Y/n):(whispers) She's better off shaving all her hair off.

Greg: I understand...

Dora: You understand what?

(TIMESKIP brought to you by the hero saving a village)

The three had arrived back to the settlement. (Y/n) had stuck the web covered Dora to Greg's back so he could carry her like a backpack.

Greg wished they had taken the horses with them.

They arrived back at the bar, where (Y/n) suck Dora against a wall as Greg fell onto a chair due to exhaustion.

Lora: What happened!?

(Y/n): Good news, your niece has found her calling as a wall ornament, and your nephew has the opposite of a foot fetish.

(Y/n): Bad news, they're both idiots.

Lora:(sigh) I already knew that.

Dora: Hey!

Lora: Honey, you're in no condition to argue.

Lora: I'm assuming you saved them?

(Y/n): Yes. Did you watch my stuff?

Lora: it's right where you left them.

(Y/n): Good.

He grabs his bag.

(Y/n): Now I'd like what I'm owed.

Lora: And that is?

(Y/n): A horse and directions.

Lora: Directions to where?

(Y/n): Where is Vaderton castle?

Lora: Vaderton castle? You should find it if you head east.

(Y/n): West it is. Now the horse.

Lora: Give me a minute to sort it out.

Greg: Wait, will you be our mentor?

(Y/n): Close your eyes and count to a thousand.

Greg: Okay master!

The two began counting.

(Y/n):(whispers) Quick, before they realize they can't count that far!

Lora then helped (Y/n) get a mount which he then road off to the west.

However, unbeknownst to (Y/n), there was a cloaked figure watching him from a distance. The cloaked figure then vanished in almost an instant, leaving behind one black feather.

(Play ending)
