73 First Group Mission (1/2)
”What is this?..” muttered Daniel in his own mind.
Trying to hide his reaction and surprise as best as possible, Daniel said ”I'll go over there to fill this.. I haven't thought about the group's name yet, and I don't want to block the line.” He then stepped away from the counter.
When Daniel stepped out from the line, he immediately noticed that Heimart had finished with his testing. So he walked directly towards him, and before Heimart could say anything, he put his hand inside one of his large pockets, and disappeared.
Inside Heimart's pocket, only a small ring had been left.
Now inside his pocket dimension, Daniel said within his mind ”Sewah, do you know what this is?”
”It's one of the locked parts of the Karmic System. It unlocked the moment you've showed the intention of creating a group.. Duh..” Responded Sewah, without abstaining from using his usual mordacious tone. He then said ”I thought we talked about this already.. That's how the system works. You are a bit slow, aren't you?”
Slightly annoyed by Sewah's derogatory way of talking, Daniel said ”I meant to know what it can do..”
”You can create a group, use it to gain karma, and spend that karma to buy effects for the group.. So that you can gain more karma.. And buy more effects.. And gain mo-” Explained Sewah before getting stuck at the end.
”Okay I get it!.. My bad for asking you.” Said Daniel with a tone filled with exasperation. He then focused on the details of the 'Shared Karmic effects', and a new window opened within his mind.

”Similar to my own system upgrades.. But for the entire group..” Muttered Daniel in surprise.
With a clear mind, Daniel left the pocket dimension, and appeared once again right next to Heimart, which was currently standing in line. He said to him ”Heimart, let's all take the same group mission.. Here..” after handing over the group creation form to him, he continued ”Create a group and we'll join it.”
”You know.. We all recognize that you have the maturity to lead a group. Why don't you do it? It's not like we wouldn't join.” Said Heimart while taking the empty form off of Daniel's hands.

A faint smile grew on Daniel's face, as he muttered in a low tone ”You are welcome then..”
”What do you mean?” Asked Heimart confusedly.
Daniel ignored the question and said ”It's alright, you are more charismatic than I am.. People are more likely to join if you are the leader.. I can do the recruitment if you want.”
”Sounds good to me” Said Heimart while casually filling in the form. ”What name do we use?”
After thinking for a moment, Daniel said ”It doesn't matter, you pic-”
Before he could finish, Heimart interrupted him. ”If you are about to say that you want me to pick the name, I suggest you change your mind.. I have hundreds of possible names in mind, but they are all names I would use to mess with Ligart.. So if you don't want me to call us 'My name is Ligart and I am looking for tender companionship”.. Then you better pick one yourself.” He said with odd earnestness.
Not knowing whether to laugh or sigh, Daniel thought about it for a minute, then said ”We are adventurers and we have particular objective.. How about calling our group 'The Aimless Adventurer'?”
Heimart pretended not to hear him, and said ”What about 'Pinch my buttocks and call me sl-”
”I'm serious..” Said Daniel, interrupting Heimart's train of thought, which was spiraling out of control.
Heimart started to giggle, before saying ”Hehehe.. I know. I've already written it.” He then waited in line quietly.
The line for completing the registration had elongated in the past half an hour, just like Heimart had predicted. That had forced Daniel and Heimart to have wait for a while before their turn.
