Eina: I can't translate the familia name but it seems that you are so far tied to them.
Reaper: Ok, so what now?
Eina stepped back and began to think, a hand on her chin as she stayed in thought.
Eina: Well, in order to get into a familia when you are already belonging in one is a process that requires both parties gods to be present, however....
Reaper soon nodded in grim realization.
Reaper: I see.
Eina: That is not the only problem.
Reaper raised his eyebrow as he soon began to put back on his armor. Eina quickly left the room and soon came back with a different, smaller book than what Reaper saw before. She soon opened it and took out a quill before beginning to write. She then placed a peice of paper on the book and after a quick chant soon pasted Reaper's stats on the paper and handed it over to the clone.
Eina: We have to put your levels here in the book and have the guild update them, however doing so will take much longer since we are not your famila head and since we don't even know who your familia head is it will probably take even longer. This means that you won't know all of your stats and skills until that time.
Reaper: I see.....
Eina: Well, we signed you up as an independent adventurer. You can come here to get your stats updated as well as turn in any magic stones for money.
Reaper: Alright then.
With that the clone soon stood up and began to leave the room however Eina soon stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.
Eina: Remember since you don't have a familia, your status will be updated much slower than other adventurers.
Reaper: Got it.
With that Reaper soon walked out of the room and soon out of the building. He still couldn't believe he already belonged to a familia however a small gurgle noise soon reminded him of a far more pressing matter at hand. He checked inside of his backpack however was soon disappointed when he found no ration packs inside. He silently cursed himself for not packing any on his previous mission as he soon closed his pack and slung it back on his back.
Reaper: And I have no money, this is just great.......
He continued to walk around the city's streets however soon stopped at a section of a street with the abandoned carcass of a building across from a small building that he guessed was already occupied thanks to the voices inside.

Reaper: Great, noisy neighbors.
Reaper sighed and soon went inside the abandoned building and soon settled down under a small section of roof. As his eyes soon began to grow heavy and his conscious begins to fade away he soon smiled at the prospect of complete freedom, and soon drifted off to sleep.
Timeskip.
Reaper was up early the next morning and was soon at the entrance to the dungeon by the time the morning sun reached over the walls of the great city. His day wasn't too hard, mostly staying at the lower floors of the dungeon and only using his viproblade to conserve ammo for his blasters. Most of the monsters he saw were incredibly easy to kill, most simply ran into his blade only to disappear into a cloud of dust while dropping their......drops.
Reaper (whisper): By the name of the Chancellor, these names look like their made by children.
His day was the same cycle of walk and kill until his pack was filled to the brim with monster drops. At this point the sun had already gone down again much to the Clone's surprise however when he returned to the Guild his payment more than compensated his time spent in the dungeon. This brings him to where he is now, walking down the streets of the city at night trying to find his first real meal in this strange town. However as he was walking he soon nothiced many people were looking at him strangely, quickly turning away if he looked in their direction as well as avoiding his path of movement and sight. He ignored this and soon came to a shop and knocked on the table before a small animal-woman soon popped up from behind the counter with his head down.
Woman 1: Hello customer, what can...I....do....for.....
The man soon looked up at Reaper's cold helmet, the light from the shops around them failing to light up the clone's body which only worsens his already intimidating presence that he had to maintain through his years in the military.
Reaper: Hello, may I have-
Woman 1: Take whatever you want, just don't hurt me!
Reaper raised an eyebrow and raised his hands to try and calm the animal-woman who was turning pale white however as soon as he did the woman gave a squeal, then fainted.
Reaper(thought): What happened to her?
???: H-Hey, its not nice to intimidate people like that.
Reaper was confused by the voice and he soon turned around however as soon as he did he soon noticed a large crowd was surrounding him. He noticed fear in their eyes however as he scanned around he soon noticed tuffs of white hair in his peripheral vision and soon he looked down to see the small kid who was running with blood on him from the previous day.

Reaper: Oh, its you.
???: Eh?
Reaper: I saw you running with a person's worth of blood on you. Glad to see your ok, what the name kid?
Bell: Well my name is Bell, Bell Cranel. But what are you doing to the poor lady. Everyone around you thought you were robbing her.
Reaper: *sigh* so that's what the looks are for.
Bell slightly nodded as Reaper looked around. Now that he looked at them closer, he could definitely see the uncertainty in the crowd's eyes however he knew they were all on edge.
Reaper: Well, I have no idea where I can go to get some food with everyone staring at me so got any suggestions kid?
Bell: Uhm, sorry sir but I have no idea. I'm going to a place that has food though.
Reaper: Mind if I tag along?
Bell jumped a bit at the proposal however Reaper took off his helmet and looked at the smaller boy with the best calming face he could put on.
Reaper: Look, I just want to eat somewhere with no staring.
Bell: Ah, ok, then follow me.
Reaper: Thanks kid.
Bell nodded and began to walk off however soon stopped as Reaper began to take his first steps in tailing him.
Bell: Oh, I'm sorry for being rude. I forgot to ask your name sir.
Reaper: Reaper is my name.
Bell: That's a scary name.
Reaper sighed and put his helmet back on before soon following the white haired kid who soon continued on his way through the crowd that has now mostly dispersed. It wasn't a perfect start to a new way of life but Reaper didn't mind. After all, fear isn't bad. It's just the way you use it.
