27 Starting A Guild
--- Third Person's POV ---
Administrator D. Not much was actually known about her. Her name, her face, her race, her history...
She's known for doing the most twisted things to relieve her boredom.
There was once a True Giant who holds the title of "Wicked God", on the surface he has a deceptively calm, composed, and alluring personality. Beneath that mask, however, lies a mind of pure insanity that views itself as superior to all other beings and wants to eradicate the world to prove itself.
After being imprisoned for millennia and coming to know true loneliness, he came to appreciate the value of friends and family more than he used to, although this didn't manage to curb his destructive tendencies.
But that is just one wicked god. The kind who never had any ego in the first place.
What about D then?
The answer to that question lies in one's race before becoming a god. Which means: She may have been a human.
The product of a nonchalant god who only desires to pursue entertainment: Only a human or those who at first have developed an ego before ascending to divinity can satisfy that statement.
But Akihito can see it, "A human who becomes a god then lived for a long time, too long that it turns them twisted for entertainment... Either that, or she is just a unique psychopath."
Akihito muttered lowly as he scrolled through the chat logs.
Akihito stayed up all night thinking about it, the extreme countermeasure he'd take should D tries to make the chat group her playground.
He is mostly concerned about having Hiromi on the group, or at least protecting Hiromi's compendium from D.
He wouldn't want Hiromi getting any weird skills like the Taboo inside her compendium.
«Report: Third-party intervention of the individual called D has ceased. The Skill Compendium is out of her reach. Currently, she is checking the quest logs.»
Great Sage reported her activities almost every 30 minutes.
*Ding*
[The Monkey King is asking if you're talking about any certain constellation]
"Ah, right you guys are still here"
Akihito couldn't help but use extreme thought acceleration to himself just so he could figure out anything about her. It was all for naught, all he came up with was already hypothesized by Great Sage.
[The Forgotten Dragon King asks if you're going to go to Aincrad today]
[He asked permission to let him watch]
"Yes, you could... You're still very polite to everyone as ever I see..."
The Forgotten Dragon King, Veldanava is one of a kind constellation. He is polite, He felt guilty about his actions and looks at humans as if they're a person and not some characters in TV shows.
An existence in contrast to D. Even though Veldanava was a being who lost his powers because things take turns into a problematic event after he created his multiverse, unlike any other gods who ascended from mortals, he understood human common sense.
The same might can be said for D, but Veldanava loves all his creations wholeheartedly... Until he banged a human girl that is...
Currently, the only plan Akihito can think of is to get Veldanava into his side to deal with D, but even he was doubtful it'll work.
He decided to leave the matter for later since he noticed D was offline.
Akihito stands up from his bed and makes his way downstairs.
"Hiromi, I am going to the Association"
"Ah, I am going with you!"
From this point on, Akihito's knowledge about SAO is ultimately useless. So he needs to find a way to deal with the current situation.
After Akihito came back, the news finally talks about the player.
All players made their appearance and helped with the dungeon outbreaks.
Akihito realized something weird happened. It was the fact that now "Guilds" are a thing. How could a huge organization called the "Government" move this fast in this anomaly?
Of course, Kayaba Akihiko. There is no one more suspicious than him. Either his goons or he himself rooted into the society, or it was the omnipotent existence who takes on his side.
The Players Association might be a tiger's den, but Akihito brought a hunting rifle (Great Sage)
Thus, there's only one thing to do in this kind of situation.
"We would like to create a guild" Akihito stated thus.
But remember when he said he would be going to the Association?
Well, he's not in one right now for some reason...
It was inside a small office, with the same mask he used to destroy everyone before the boss raid before, he said calmly that he wants to create a guild... To another guild leader.
"Ya dare get inside my office now huh!?" With a loud voice of Kansai accent, the owner of the building shouted.
That's right, that guy is a familiar face. The short yet solidly built man with sienna, and spiky hair is one of the iconic third-rate villains you saw in chapter nine!
(A/N: Oi oi oi! The third wall!)
Player ID: Kibaou.
[The Forgotten Dragon King is speechless]
[The Monkey King wants to know why is he seeing ID:Kibaou on the screen again while being grumpy]
[The Monarch of the beginning wonders why you are inside another guild's building]
That's right, Akihito as well as Hiromi, with a black mask on their face now stared at the spiky orange-haired man inside his guild office.
Kibaou was one of the influencers that gained the government's attention. He was spotted "Leading" some players to save the day. And in the end, they were given a special right to create a guild by the crowd's recognition.
Normally, you should talk to the NPC on Aincrad's floor 1 or use the menu to form a guild, but after the day of "Official release" the option and NPC disappeared.
So the government would take this matter into their hands. Just after yesterday, Kibaou became a guild leader of what he called the "Liberator Guild".
A guild with the goal of clearing Aincrad's 100th floor. Just like how Akihito envisioned, Kibaou will do such things.
But that was before they were allowed to leave Aincrad.
Kibaou would surely grows stronger in power and lead all players to their suffering had the game not allowed the players to teleport back to Earth.
"Nice place you have here huh, Kibaou-kun?" With a calm and friendly demeanor, Akihito stated thus.
Fortunately, due to the butterfly effect, Kibaou's Guild was not running as smoothly as it should be. That is exactly the reason Akihito showed up.
"You haven't answered me properly you punk! What, are you trying to join my guild now huh!?" Kibaou turns around with the most massive smug grin on his face.
He somehow, figured Akihito was actually begging him to join his guild?
"HEH! So in the end ya just a noob who can't join any guilds eh!?? After putting up that show, what a clown you are--"
Well, both siblings still had a smile behind their masks, it was a miracle the spiky third-rate villain even TURNS AROUND, not looking at them and waving his hand in dramatic motion.
Are they inside a play or something?
Though, Hiromi draws the katana on her waist only to be stopped by her brother's hand which pushed both her hand and the blade into the sheath.
But then his hand reaches into the system and pulls out a... GUN!?? He pulls out a gun from his inventory!???
It was Hiromi's turn to snatch his pistol and hid them behind the couch frantically.
By the time Kibaou turns around he can only see the siblings doing nothing.
"And you even got a follower yourself, hah! Sure! I'll let you join me, I'll even be kind enough to let you be my personal assistant!"
He's been talking about this for 15 minutes now...
Finally, "Haa..." A sigh came from Akihito.
"Down, boy." As if talking to a pet, with a cold and dominating voice, Akihito flaunts his Aura.
"KUHHHK--!?" Immediately Kibaou loses control over his body, he lets his body fall down from an enormous amount of pressure.
Akihito used his "Haki" on him.
"Let's see now... I noticed you can use magic now. Did you get a sponsor or something? Well, not that it matters though..." Akihito mutters those words lowly when a message from a constellation came to him.
[The Athlete-Thief asked angrily what are you doing!]
[He demands you to release his sponsor from your ambition]
As expected, Akihito knows Kibaou had a sponsor.
"And why should I now? I saw his facial expression change a few times before, you're probably the reason he acts that way." Akihito was indicating the fact that Kibaou may have read a message from the unknown constellation.
"And you even have a title...unlike that nameless deity or whatever, this surely is interesting!" The maniac grin behind Akihito's mask went wider than how he ever felt before.
He stand up from that couch and approaches the Kibaou who had some trouble breathing. He seemed to lower the aura's intensity a little in order to talk to him.
[The Athlete-Thief demands you to stop while cursing at you!]
"So anyway Kibaou-kun, will you hear me out? As I said... I am trying to create a guild, but surely you can help me would ya?"
Kibaou's arrogance from two minutes ago has disappeared, replaced by intense fear that causes cold sweats to drip down like bullets from his skin.
"W-W-What is it!!? What do you want!? Get away from me!!"
"That hurt, sure I won't get close. But you sure have a nice place here, Kibaou-kun." At last, Akihito opened his mask, revealing the smile of a baby-faced adult with a smile on his face. Though, that smile wasn't a friendly one.
Kibaou just couldn't help but be scared when he looks at the narrowed grey and red shining pupils in the presence of Akihito's aura.
It was his first time looking at his actual face, but the time he would was when he would cower in fear.
"What... Do you want my guild??? Take it! You can have it! Just don't come near!"
And in response to that, "You hear that, Hiromi. This Nii-san sure is kind~"
"Onii-sama... Stop playing with him already." The masked little sister also unmasked herself and dropped that line flatly.
"You two sure can't get any fun..."
«Report: Components have been created. The magic contract is ready to be executed.»
After that, his tone changed back into a cold demonic voice. Flaunting his aura and calls out to the spiky-haired man: "Oi trash, you already had a sponsor aren't you? I'm gonna give you another sponsor. You're happy, aren't you? A double sponsor, Rejoice! I am giving you a 'stigma' right away!"
With a snap of a finger, a magic circle appeared above Kibaou.
"W-W-What is this!? Kami-sama, help!" And Kibaou panicked.
[The Athlete-Thief threatens you and swears vengeance at you!]
[He demands you to revoke the slave contract with his apostle right away!]
The truth when someone was summoned to another world, they received a unique skill from the Voice of the World, but were enslaved by their summoners after arriving in the other world.
It is the same magic Akihito (Great Sage) is using right now, a slave contract that will force the bearer to listen to anything the contractor says.
"Well then, I'm looking forward to working with you. Kibaou-kun."
With the smile that never leave his face, the slave contract was done, and the Liberation Guild is now under Akihito's flag.
