75 Guilds (1/2)

It looked like he needed to go as fast as possible, but he still asked \”Does everyone receive the same upgrade in strength when they evolve?\”

Carla shook her head \”No, they don't. The upgrade you will receive will depend on your strength. When you cross realms from Evolver to Ascendant, your pure attributes will increase by a percentage, so the higher they are, the better it is. But that's not the only reward. However, the information I have, it is a costly one.\”

Dorian said \”You are supposed to tell me everything you know.\” Carla asked \”Why should I tell you? You didn't really save my life, I'm not indebted to you.\”

Dorian replied with cold eyes \”Because I can kill you.\” Carla froze for a second before saying with a helpless smile \”Good point. Still, I can't just tell you for free. Let's make a deal.\”

Dorian smiled coldly under his mask and asked \”Why should I listen to you?\” Carla clenched her teeth and said \”Listen to me, it will be beneficial to you too. You know, I talked about the guilds?\”

Dorian nodded so she continued \”As you know, I am currently on my own, and I'm not a fighter, so I need someone's protection. This is what I offer. You create a guild, and I join it. If I join, we will go to our worlds together, and you will have to protect me. I won't be useless though, as I have other uses.\”

Dorian stared at her, and thought about it. He had been alone in his last world, and he had seen how difficult it was. He had succeeded on his own because he could learn any skill just by practicing it. But from now on, if he needed any particular skill, and he will, the only way for him is to luck out and find a skill book.

However, forming a guild would allow him to concentrate on becoming stronger. So he asked \”How do I create a guild? Is there a cost? What can a guild bring other than its members, and what are the rules?\”

Carla said \”Creating a guild is simple, you can do it through the system. As for the cost, it is 2000 Dream Coins. It is a bit expensive, but it's worth it. Being in a guild changes the way you will go through your world too, because having more members allow you to do more side missions, and get a better reward. At the end of the mission, your rewards will be group ones, instead of individual ones.\”

Dorian asked \”What about the rules? Is there any fundamental rules?\” Carla nodded \”If you kill a guild member you receive a penalty, and betraying the guild is another penalty. Other than that, the rest of the rules are set by the Guild Master.\”

Dorian asked \”Is there any downside?\”

Carla said \”Of course. I told you about the guild wars, they are basically a fight between two guilds. The guild who wins gets rewards for their victory. Moreover, killing someone else in Eden will block any reward, but when you kill another Dreamer in a Guild War or in a mission, you get all their Dream Coins. That's why some Guilds will target newly formed guilds, to take their rewards.\”

Dorian said \”No need to worry about this. Is that it?\” Carla nodded, so Dorian looked at his status. He had 23 000 Dream Coins on him. He was surprised, but then saw that several of his items had been sold.

He looked back at Carla and said \”I will create a guild and take you in. Now, tell me that piece of information.\”

Carla bit her lip, as sexily as always, and said \”I guess I should trust you will keep your words, if we are going to form a guild…\”

She asked \”Shall we go? To a more private place?\” But Dorian shook his head and activated his [Mind Invasion]. As he entered her mind, he was surprised.

It wasn't empty. There was a big statue on the ground, depicting a naked woman. Carla. Just next to it, Dorian could see the spirit of Carla.
