The next morning, we woke up early and headed down to the diner, which was buzzing with life. People were eating their breakfast, placing orders, and, as is common in any world, a few were already day drinking. We sat down and had our breakfast—scrambled eggs from a bird with an unpronounceable name and sausages made of who knows what. Afterward, we headed to the Adventurer's Guild to pick up our registry cards.
The cards read as follows:
Deserter
Rank: G
Species: Demihuman
Level: 35
Age: 29
Occupation: Offensive Wizard
Overon
Rank: G
Species: Demihuman
Level: 37
Age: 27
Occupation: Martial Artist
Apparently, appraisal is a rare skill that not many people possess. Luckily for us, we have it. It turns out you can’t appraise someone of a higher level than yourself, which means our true status remains hidden. The problem is our attire. Overon’s body armor isn’t very common, and I look more like a nobleman or wealthy merchant than an actual adventurer, which garnered quite a few awkward stares.
As we returned to the inn with our new guild cards, we settled into our room to finally take a good look at our stats in this new world. Using appraisal on ourselves, we saw:

Our stats remained impressively high, similar to the game, though now presented as numerical values instead of levels. This was new to us, and it gave us a visual understanding of how vastly powerful we were compared to the inhabitants of this world. For instance, the strongest people in the Adventurer's Guild were Elarion and the guild master, Garrick.
Garrick
Level: 54
Species: Dragonborn
Class: Dual Wielder

Elarion

Mana: 1,100/1,200
Their stats were modest, and they had not even fully leveled up or maxed out their skills. These were the strongest in the adventuring guild. To give a good perspective, we requested the stats of a dragon in this world, which was a strange request, but apparently, they had it, a historical record from 500 years ago.
Young Dragon
Level: 70
Species: Red Dragon
Class: None
Skills: Fire Magic, Fire Resistance, Health Boost, Shield Magic
Race Skills: Hellfire Breath
Titles: Tyrant
Stats:
Stamina: 600/600
Strength: 1,000/1,000
Speed: 400/400
Agility: 300/300
Charisma: 95/100
Health: 15,000/15,000
Racial Skill: 90/100
Mentality: Chaotic
Shooting: 29/100
Mana: 4,000/4,000
Dragons were significantly more powerful than the people of this world, but considering that they were known as the strongest species and generally feared throughout the land, this was understandable.
As I turned to Overon we started to discuss what was next for us on our journey.
"Let's take an escort job," I suggested. "I heard there's a human kingdom with a vast library containing knowledge from thousands of years. We could learn a lot there."
Overon’s eyes lit up. "That sounds perfect. We should find a job that takes us there."
With a plan in mind, we prepared to head back to the Adventurer's Guild to find an escort mission that would lead us to this kingdom.
