Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

"All of you will become members of my guild but instead as soldiers. You will allow a portion of loot and will be able to get stuff from the guild shop and the armory. But you will have to farm resources for the guild and protect it too." Zack stated the conditions one by one as all of them thought about it for a few seconds.

They had chosen to die because they would rather restart from the beginning than become slaves. But if they were offered the positions of soldiers with a whole lot of benefits, they would gladly take it.

""I accept!"" All of them replied together in a sincere voice as Zack smiled.

"Tell me what are your job classes and player names first."

"My name is DeathNumber420 and I am a mage who specializes in aerial attacks." The man on the right spoke up. He had plain brown colored hair and black eyes and Zack could tell that this was his real-life appearance too.

"My name is YourMamaIsThicc and I am an archer who specializes in exploding attacks." A woman with glossy black hair and eyes of the same color went on next before only one of them remained.

"My name is Disgrace and I am a mage who specializes in AOE (Area of Effect) attacks." The man who had been the first to choose the death option replied.

He was bald with a scar running down the right side of his face. His eyes were red in color that indicated that he had used a custom character card.

Zack then prepared to create a contract with them.

"Do you three swear to follow the orders of the people above your rank in the guild without hesitation?"

""Yes we do!""

"Do you swear to lay down the lives of your avatars to protect the guild whenever it is in danger?"

""Yes we do!""

"Then from this day onwards, you guys are the official protectors of the guild." Zack finished as he handed them the rare armor he had won from the war alongside two mage staffs and a bow of the same rank.

The three bowed down in front of the two guild masters before logging out of the game.

"Who could have thought that doing something like this in a game will be this dramatic?" Emma asked as the duo climbed up to the circular room again.

"Well, maybe the game developers should know about that since they were the ones who created all of this." The white-haired boy replied as he looked at the guild feature that had appeared on his status page.

[ Guild members: 7

Lin Fan (leader)

WolfHeart (leader)

Marcus

Jack

Disgrace (Guard)

YourMamaIsThicc (Guard)

DeathNumber420 (Guard) ]

All the members of the guild could be seen using this feature and they could be sorted by rank and other stuff too.

"So what are we going to do next? I am kind of getting bored of grinding dungeons continuously." Emma asked as the white-haired boy grinned.

"We are going to visit dungeons sometime later but till that time, we are going to give the king a small visit," Zack replied as he and WolfHeart thought of exiting the guild.

They were immediately teleported outside the guild and started walking towards the palace. Originally, Zack had decided to not talk with the king for a few months but things had progressed much faster than he had imagined.

The eastern continent was under the light faction which meant that members from the dark side would be very less in the place. However, Elyon had managed to find 501 members from the dark side and had somehow managed to train them while staying under the radar.

This meant that something big was happening in Hikari and Zack had an idea about it. But he didn't make any assumptions because there was a chance that he could be wrong.

After reaching the entrance of the palace, the guards paid no attention to the duo since they had strict orders to not bother them.

The two top players slowly made their way towards the palace as Zack pulled up his status.

[ Name: Lin Fan

The heir of Pendragon and the mount section were two new additions to the status page. He hadn't checked the title till then so it was a good time to do that then.

[ Heir Of Pendragon: Only a single person can have this title and it will stay with him till the time death parts him with it.

- Gives the passive skill: Hero's Aura

- ??? (locked)]

And as usual, the important thing was both hidden and locked. This made Zack wonder how many other things were hidden from him since most of the things he had gotten were either hidden or locked.

He then clicked on the mount option and saw that he could see the details of the scam eagle. Emma on the other hand was oddly quiet and was exploring her own status page as well.

She had gotten a few new things on her status page too and she wanted to talk to Zack about them. Unfortunately, they weren't able to hear each other in the game.

'But what if we talk outside?' The pink-haired woman decided to ask the white-haired boy to visit her later on after they logged out of the game.

"So what are we going to talk to the king about? How there were so many people from the dark side in the Eizenburgh kingdom despite it having the light side controlling it?"

"That's exactly what we are going to talk about," Zack replied with a smile as he was happy to know that his partner knew her stuff well.

Emma was not a dumb or an idiot person and neither was she someone who preached peace and cowered at the sight of blood.

She had grown up in a cutthroat world and had managed to get her orphanage free from the clutches of a tyrannical company. She was by no means a weak person.

"So any ideas on what the king might say?"

"I have just known him for barely a few minutes. I am not a mind reader you know."

"You sometimes feel like me."

"You are thinking about my handsome real-life face, aren't you?" Zack suddenly asked as the pink-haired woman blinked. "That's my guess."

"Never mind. You are as bad of a mind reader one can become." Emma replied with a sigh as the white-haired boy grinned.

The duo continued to move towards the throne room but while doing that, Emma couldn't help but think of what Zack had said.

'For now, it's time to go ahead and talk with the king.' The pink-haired woman pushed her thoughts to the side as she and Zack stood in front of the throne room's entrance.

But as soon as they stepped inside the room, Eirias and Khryselakatos suddenly appeared in front of them and started glowing.
