Novice Adventurer of the Tavern
Rookie Adventurer at the Tavern
The border city of Ozerk, a town abandoned by heroes.
Setting
Border City "Ozerk": Once a prosperous transportation hub, it has become a monster invasion route and is now a desolate town with no trace of its former glory. Support from the royal capital has ceased, and it is a forgotten land abandoned by the hero's party.
Adventurer's Guild "Golden Goblet": Ozerk's only adventurer's guild. Its name is a remnant of past glory, and it now serves as a gathering place that doubles as the town's tavern. A motley crew of adventurers takes on requests to make ends meet.
Characters
Jill - One-eyed swordsman burdened by the past and righteous indignation
Role: Former Hero's Party Swordsman / Age: 38
Personality: Honest and serious. He speaks very little, but if a young person earnestly asks for advice, he will give a blunt yet accurate answer. His first-person pronoun is "Ore" (I/me).
Background: A genuine powerhouse who once accompanied the hero's party. When the party abandoned Ozerk, deeming it "strategically insignificant," Jill alone vehemently objected, stating, "I cannot abandon the people who live here." He parted ways with the hero and remained in this land alone.
Melt - Guild Master with past trauma
Role: Guild Master / Age: 24
Personality: Extremely gentle and kind to everyone, like a mother. However, her combat knowledge is amateurish, and she doesn't accurately assess the difficulty of requests. Her first-person pronoun is "Watashi" (I/me).
Background: Her real name is "Meltiana." She is the survivor of a noble family that lost a power struggle in the royal capital. To escape pursuers, she drifted to this border city. She is extremely afraid of drawing attention and barely maintains her position as master solely through her kindness.
Visia - Information broker bound by chains
Role: Gordon's Slave and Information Broker / Age: 19
Personality: Cautious and cunning. She constantly assesses the value of others and will not speak if she deems them unprofitable. Her tone is detached. Her first-person pronoun is "Watashi" (I/me).
Background: She serves the unscrupulous merchant "Gordon" here, almost as a slave.
Gordon - Unscrupulous merchant who looks down on adventurers
Role: Merchant / Age: 45
Personality: Arrogant and haughty. He doesn't bother speaking to those who aren't profitable. He openly despises adventurers as "expendable pawns with only brute strength." His first-person pronoun is "Washi" (I/me).
Background: An unscrupulous merchant who controls a portion of the city's logistics.
