Stopping his scroll button at around the middle of the list, Kefan looked at a user profile and muttered.
“Loken’s group has enough ability and they’re also fitting for this task.”
The name in his sight was called Loken. Always travelling together in a group, Loken and his men were people who took on dirty jobs and enjoyed causing chaos.
For the upcoming task, ability wasn’t the only thing that was important. Trust was also crucial. Maybe not if it was a normal task, but the one thing that mustn’t happen was the details leaking out.
“Since they’re in the Demon Guild, they’re trustworthy.”
The Demon Guild. It was a guild that performed all sorts of murky tasks and was full of people like Loken’s group. Because of the nature of their guild, it would be impossible for them to survive if they couldn’t maintain confidentiality. For this reason, Kefan didn’t need to worry about leaks.
“Okay.”
After deciding on Loken, Kefan sent a message to Loken.
-Kefan: Loken-nim?
“So how is it?”
Kefan asked.
“If we accept your request.”
Loken smiled in the middle of his sentence.
“We wouldn’t be able to set foot into Hedlin anymore.”
What would happen if they accepted the job? They wouldn’t be able to appear in Hedlin again. No, it would be to the point where they wouldn’t be able to stay in the Raman Kingdom easily.
“And Hedlin is a city with many quests.”
Hedlin was famous for being a beautiful tourist destination. Was it cause and effect? Because of the high number of users and NPCs visiting, there were always a high amount of jobs and quests in circulation. Accepting Kefan’s request meant giving up on those quests.
“Haha, is it because of that?”
Kefan took out out a small pouch.
“I’ll give you this much.”
Inside the pouch was gold.
“I think 20 thousand gold is enough.”
“Oh…”
Loken pondered while staring at the pouch filled with 20 thousand gold. After a few seconds, Loken spoke to Kefan.
“Can I consult the others about it? This isn’t something I can decide on my own.”
“Of course, I’ll be waiting for your answer.”
Loken stood up from his seat after Kefan’s words and went through the door to his back.
“So what happened?”
“Why was Kefan looking for you?”
Two men were waiting for Loken outside. They were Mandara and Aiden. In response to their questions, Loken sat down on the chairs next to them and answered.
“You know that Kefan made a new guild in Hedlin.”
“That’s right. It was called Solitude or something.”
“Yep, Solitude. But they’re aiming for the representative guild spot.”
“What?”
Mandara and Aiden couldn’t help but react to Loken’s remark.
“The representative spot? For Hedlin?”
“Hmm.”
“Who are they kidding, a new guild taking the representative spot? And it’s Hedlin instead of some beginner town? Don’t tell me the request was to help them get the spot?”
Loken chuckled at Mandara’s words.
“Hey, do you think that’s possible? No, it’s not that.”
They were capable but not enough to get Kefan the representative seat.
“Our task is PKing.”
“…”
“…”
Mandara and Aiden immediately became suspicious of Loken. PK? What did that have to do with the new guild?
“Tomorrow at 10 am, near the warp gate, kill indiscriminately regardless of their identity. Then the Solitude guild will hunt us down. When they do, one person will die and the rest will escape. Of course, that person will be me.”
“Wait, time out.”
Mandara and Aiden hurriedly interrupted Loken.
“PK indiscriminately? Near the warp gate? We’ll be turned into fugitives.”
“Yes, it’s bound to be our last task in Raman Kingdom. But the compensation is 20k gold.”
20 thousand gold as a reward? Mandara and Aiden were greatly surprised again. They stared at each other then turned to Loken as he continued.
“So how about it? Will you do it?”
“…”
“Mmm…”
Mandara and Aiden both fell into deep thought at Loken’s words. After a while, Mandara spoke first.
“I’ll do it. It’s about time to level up a bit more, right? And since the reward is 20 thousand gold…”
“I’m fine as well. We’re getting less quests here than before anyway. I’ll also do it for 20 thousand.”
“Then you’re both agreeing, right?”
“Yep.”
“Okay, then we’ll accept it.”
Loken then stood up and entered Kefan’s room again.
“Did you consider the request?”
Kefan asked Loken as he came in.
“Yes, we’ll accept your task.”
Loken answered Kefan’s question. Kefan smiled brightly in response and pulled out the pouch.
“Tomorrow 10 am, near the warp gate. We will arrive approximately 10 minutes after. Until then…”
“We’ll PK while trying not to die. Don’t worry so much.”
“Of course, then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Kefan stood up and exited the house. He then started heading towards the guild base.
‘It’s finally begun.’
Tomorrow, he would acquire the representative seat for Hedlin.

“When are we going?”
“Hmm, should we go in 10 minutes?”
Ji Song and Ji Su were discussing their schedule.
“Then I’ll leave for Hedlin now.”
Soo Hyuk, who was listening to their conversation, stood up. Ji Song and Ji Su’s avatars were currently in Hedlin, but Soo Hyuk’s was in Matab. This meant that he had to set off early.
“So where are we going to meet?”
Soo Hyuk asked as he opened the door to his room.
“Near the warp gate, there’s a restaurant called Wanderer’s Wind. We’ll be sitting on the seats outside.”
“Then I’ll meet you soon!”
“See you later!”
