67 SS3: The Guild (1/2)

.

Kazuya had been wondering what direction he was going to take in the game. His initial purpose was to assemble the people he knew that will be gathering here to recruit them for the company he was planning on building with Mei.

He had already gathered quite a number of people and this was all thanks to Void Android. His weird tendency of using random people to validate himself turned out to be a blessing for both of them. The numerous amounts of people that Kazuya planned on looking for in the game unexpectedly passed by Void Android's random questioning.

[Void Android: Hey boss]

[Winter Fog: Stop calling me boss. You haven't even signed a contract yet so I have no right to be called that]

[Void android: minor issues, minor issues. You're the boss I want to work for and I'm already following your orders, aren't I?]

[Winter Fog: Do what you want then]

Kazuya rather appreciated this person's personality. If he had not known him from his previous life, he would have not trusted this carefree person. This was especially considering what he had been through. Kazuya's trust was probably the hardest thing to gain for people he didn't know well beforehand.

Amongst the most popular people in his previous life, the most famous ones that had had a reputation to have been trustworthy were Void Android and SummerBreeze. This was the reason why he was looking to establish a relationship with these two quite early and they could have been found in this game.

A collaboration with these two people could have only been a dream in his previous life so he wanted to make that possible in this one. He couldn't think of any negative repercussions aside from the previous companies that signed them losing the chance. Not only would he save them from the rejections they suffered, he would also give them a better working environment.

[Winter Fog: So what did you need me for?]

[Void Android: I was just wondering what your plans were about the people we've been having talks with. You haven't offered any of them a position in the company you'll be making aside from myself]

[Winter Fog: That's because I haven't even talked to them about the terms of joining my company. You should know how unbelievably strict it is. Besides, how could they just believe a random player offering them a job that they so much wanted after getting so many rejections in real life?]

Void Android who was behind his keyboard cringed after having a few arrows hitting him. He was indeed the very first person who jumped into the pirate ship before knowing what he was getting himself into. The pirate ship was incredibly strict as he found out what the captain's rules were and there would be no room for disloyalty.

[Winter Fog: I intend to spend a little more time with them so that they get to know me a bit before I offer them a job]

[Void Android: I believe that there will be a faster and more proper way of handling that]

[Winter Fog: What do you mean by that?]

[Void Android: I'm amazed at how like-minded or similar the people I've passed by were actually like. For both sides to come to an agreement, I think rather than approaching them slowly, you should take the initiative to make them come to you]

[Winter fog: You're referring to 'The Rise to The Call' Quest?]

[Void Android: Indeed, the guild establishment quest. This game has a unique system for it that involves challenging quests that the guild master needs to complete alone. This is a test that the game presents to individuals who want to establish their own guild]

The Rise to The Call quest was a unique quest in NGO. Unlike other games that have simple level requirements and a fine, before a guild can be established in NGO, the guild master has to go through the quest. A quest that can be unlocked early but will be difficult to complete even in higher levels.

From the game makers' perspectives, a guild master must not only be charismatic but also skillful. Anyone who passed this quest had the right to call themselves a guild master and would garner the respect of any player who tried the quest themselves.

[Winter Fog: I've actually been considering it but I still haven't made up my mind]

Of course, he had considered it before. It was just that like meeting Autumn Mist again, he wanted to meet up with his old guild as well. It was only after Void Android reminded him that he had no time to be selfish now. He was going to be in charge of the livelihood of a lot of people and not to mention the potential deterrent or possibly weapon against the Kurogane Conglomerate.

”(I apologize in advance old friends… I won't be able to join you in this life)” he breathed in deeply before telling Void Android to focus on doing quests with Autumn Mist and the others to get their level up since he was going to take a shot at the quest.

There were currently no guilds that have been formed on NGO yet. The guild quest was making itself infamous on the forums as its' difficulty climbs along with the guild master aspirant's level. The quest unlocks when a player reaches 25 which was the current average level the players have reached since the game's launch.
