Adventurer

Adventurer is a profession of the New World in Overlord. Adventurers register with the Adventurer's Guild and take the work that comes through it: hunting monsters, guarding people of importance, gathering rare materials. In theory the job also covers exploring ruins and unmapped country, but in practice almost all of it is monster extermination, and adventurers stay clear of state affairs except in unusual cases. The guilds were founded about two hundred years ago, when the war between the Thirteen Heroes and the Evil Deities left the human nations in chaos. Every registered adventurer carries a metal plate that serves as identification and states a rank, running from copper and iron up through silver, gold, platinum, mithril and orichalcum to adamantite at the top. The Re-Estize Kingdom has roughly three thousand adventurers, of whom about six hundred are platinum or above.
