58 Did You Sell Drugs?! (1/2)

Mercenaries are the players who are being hired by beginners and also other pro players to accompany their employers for different kinds of things that their employers wanted them to do like hunting monsters to gather different materials, leveling their employers, and many other things that happen in the game.

Sora and Akira are one of the best mercenaries that are nicknamed as the ”Legendary Mercenary Siblings.” They are very high leveled players and they provide the gathering and leveling jobs but the most proficient they are in are tanking and magic DPS. Sora, despite being a woman picked the tank job, Paladin. When she classed up, she chooses the Iron Fortress, a class with the highest HP and defense values in the game. The only downside of this class is that, in exchange for defense and HP, the user has to sacrifice their attack power for that, therefore, she can't act alone.

That's where Akira comes in. Akira is the main DPS of the two. His first-class is Magician but when he ranked up, he chooses the hardest to get a job namely the Archmagus. Archmagus class is a class that specializes in AOE magic and burst magic skills, making them the best class in terms of farming monsters in one fell swoop. What is more astonishing is that Akira did not spend any stat points on his stats other than his INT and DEX which in result, his casting speed is really fast that most spells he uses only lasts for a maximum of 10 second which normally needs 20 or more seconds to cast and a minimum of 3 seconds. His burst of power from his magic is also quite insane. His only downside is that he is a glass cannon. Without any stats in END and other stats, his defensive capabilities are really low.

The reason they are legendary is that they are so compatible as partners with their classes. They fill up each other's weaknesses and downsides which allows them to be really strong players. They also became rich after playing the games for so long. I am not mistaken, no wonder they looked familiar it turns out they were the two people I have met before in the past timeline.

When I was struggling to fight against a certain boss after managing to defect on the guild that keeps on killing me for EXP, they came in to help me and they also gave me a chance to raise my level too for free. I own a lot of thanks to them because I managed to start back again due to their efforts.

Now that they are still younglings and not yet players of the game, why not try to help them get stronger very soon? If I recall right, the public usage of the gaming console for the Alternate World is still 6 months away. What if they started early? Will their achievements be more dominant than in the past timeline?

”Say, are you two interested in playing video games?” I asked.

The two were surprised by my question but Akira answered immediately.

”I see, then I will allow you to play one soon, if you two are ready, come to this address tomorrow and I will wait for the two of you,” I said and handed them a card with my address and phone number written on it. The reason I have a calling card like this is for some occasions that I want to hand them something like a calling card. I have been doing it in the past so it became a habit.

”Okay then!” Akira enthusiastically took the card.

I don't know why Akira easily trusted me though, while I can easily understand why Sora is still not trying to speak to me and still hides from his brother's back. For me, it is a better reaction Sora have shown to me since I am not someone they should have trusted immediately, but eh, who cares now, it has been taken.
