15 15 - Its All a Lie

"What do you think you're doing?" asked the fat man.

Magnus chuckled and said with a serious tone after he tighten his grip "What do you think you're doing?"

"Arghh!! Release me!" the pain made him lose his calm, now all he can do is scream for pain. The spectators are long watching the scene, a typical hero saving the damsel in distress.

Magnus look at the blonde woman then said "I'm sorry I forgot to introduce my self, I'm Magnus nice to meet you."

"Haha, its okay young man. I'm Oriana, the manager of this restaurant." said the blonde. She looked at the fat man, mockery on her eyes.

While the fat guy just grunted, he couldn't even hear their conversation. Too busy bearing the pain. Soon, the security arrived and got the fatty out of the restaurant. The fatty sighed in relief, finally the pain is gone but it was replaced with numbness.

Before he was dragged outside, he glared at Magnus and said "This isn't finish!".

"Magnus thank you for your help there. I'm really sorry about the trouble." said Oriana.

"Its okay, it really nothing much." Magnus replied.

Then Oriana invited Magnus to talk in her office after he finishes eating, one on one. Magnus is, of course, 'obliged' to comply. Oriana seems young, in her early thirties. Her legs is flawless and long, and her chest is humongous. Yes,humongous that's the word. Her posture is also great, not bothered by her ample breasts.

They didn't actually talked much, just more formalities. They exchanged contacts, Oriana also asked if he play games. Which Magnus didn't deny, then Orian asked that if she's in the game as well, will he take care of her.

Magnus immediately replied with "Of course, for a beauty like you I wouldn't hesitate to do so."

The both of them laughed heartily, after exchanging small talks Magnus went on his way. Quite happy as his meal was paid by Oriana. As Oriana saw the door closed she sighed and mumbled "If only I was a little bit younger I would've go for at least one round with him." the she laughed and again mumbled "Who am I kidding, it wouldn't be just one round."

...

Having had his fill, Magnus is cheerful throughout the day. He went to clothes store, watch movie, and also went to a brot...erm... a massage parlor. Sigh, life with money is just amazing.

At 8 pm he finally arrived at his house, exhausted yet please. His life has been quite carefree, for now. He lied to the capsule and went to sleep. Its comfortable inside of course.

After a few hours he was woken by the system notification, saying that the maintenance is done. Thus he immediately logged on. He appeared in his guild house's spawn point, he set it there a few days ago. Now whenever he use a Return Stone, he would appear there.

Immediately he went to the top floor, he was first their. As leader, it would be good if your never late. Soon, the core members slowly arrived after another. First is the beauty, Moonlight, followed by the Healer Trio. After the girls arrive it took 10 minutes before the next person arrived, which is the retired soldier.

When he walked in he saw four girls and a man. Magnus in the middle, and the four girls surroundings. Remembering a meme[1] he looked at them and chuckled.

30 minutes later all of them arrived, almost. There was one that is late, it was the Mage. He's none other than 'ImNeverLate', even in-game he's late how ironic. Since only one has yet to arrived, Magnus just decided to start the meeting.

"Okay, Let's just start this. Fiery Wi..." before he could even finish there was a shout came from outside.

"Wait! I'm here! I'm here." he slammed the door open. Everyone in the room went silent, there's only panting that came from 'ImNeverLate' could be heard. Everyone looked at him, feeling embarrassed he said with an apologetic look on his face " I'm sorry I'm late, my alarm failed to woke me up."

"Its okay just sit down there, we're about to start. Okay, Fiery Wing details about the Dungeon." Magnus said.

Fiery Wing then stood and started his report. "I already read the Dungeon introductions, each opposing faction will have a different but connected dungeon. As for ours, its the [Battle of Might and Magic], when we enter the dungeon we would be teleported in a new 'world'. There are a total of three worlds, one for each opposing factions, for example, our faction, the Combat Faction will be teleported in the same mirror world as the Magic Faction. Same goes to Holy Light Faction and Evil Faction, and for the Beast Faction and Human Faction. However, the first challenge would be entering the Dungeon. He would need to find its entrance, as for where it is, no has a single clue."

"Seems like we need to have a Guild meeting soon. Okay let's do that later, Fiery Wing I'll let you handle the gathering announcement. We would need to conduct a wide range search. As I now, the first party to enter the Dungeon would be rewarded handsomely. That's just my speculation so don't be expectant, anyway lets proceed. Bring the Guild matters in..."

Then they started to discuss things or ways to improve their guild. This included continent wide recruitment, rewards for players, and even setting businesses to boost the guild's fund. After finishing their meeting, everyone headed to the pub. Before their meeting finished, Fiery Wing already announced that a meeting would held an hour after.

Unfortunately, he was greeted by a lot of lame excuses. He doesn't even know how to react, it was all lame excuses. They obviously don't want to participate, so they just 'politely' refused to do so. At the moment of crisis, Fiery Wing the Mighty has thought of an idea. This can simply revolutionize the world, it would even bring peace to hell.

"Our Guild Master Mystic Warrior will also come. He'll do a face reveal."

Then it went from 0 to 100 too f*cking quick! It was an uproar. Almost all, no, its ALL of them said that they would be there, waiting. Some even came early, as soon as they knew that their Guild Master would came they immediately stopped whatever they're doing, even those whose doing advancement quest stopped and went to their Guild House.

The 569 guild members, none of them are absent. Especially the girls as they already made a group of fangirls. Waiting their for an hour, they chatted and laughed. They still couldn't order drinks as their guild has close to none funds. But all 569 of them looked lively, even though they're a lot of them here they couldn't even occupy half of the Guild House.

Soon a man in white, both pants and sleeves, with a mask came and went to the stage. Cool and mysterious aura originated from him. He was followed by 13 people, all of them has almost the same level of coolness as him. They're PROS! As they went to the stage everyone went silent, even breathing couldn't be heard.

It was Magnus and the Elites. Magnus is in the center, while the 13 of them at his back. Magnus set his voice setting to heard by all of the Guild Members. Yes, Magnus could do this. All of the members could still hear even if they're thousands of miles away, but Magnus prefers to face his comrades in person. As he was also fabled to be a famous General, he knew how to communicate to his comrades too well.

"Good Day everyone, I'm here to announce that there will be another filter. Filtering those weak players, those slow minded, those who doesn't know how to adjust in a given situation. I only want the best of the best, no more no less. The test would start a few minutes later, those whose afraid to participate please head outside and quit the guild. NOW!" Magnus shouted.

The crowd stayed silent, everyone remained. None of them are afraid. They're already handpicked by Fiery Wing and company, and all of them are the best. Though they may not passed Magnus's standards, but with any other guilds standard they all are considered elites.

"Haha. Good, good indeed. We'll I was just testing you guys, cause you know from all I hate, weak willed are what I despised the most." Magnus said, he then took his mask. It revealed a handsome yet wicked looking smile.

The spectators wanted to shout, especially the girls. Now they knew that the rumor 'The guild master hides his face because he's too f*cking ugly' is a huge lie. It was all lie. For some reason, seeing Magnus's face they felt admiration and some kind of fear. They all wanted to express the ecstasy of finally seeing his face, but for some reason they can't. At least in front of him they can't.

"Well you all passed my test. And now for the benefits, everytime you participate in any guild activity you would earn Guild Points, GP for short. GP can be used to purchase items, what items you may asked? This!" Magnus immediately put 35 Iron tiers and 3 Silver Tier items in the Guild Shop. Its what he got from fishing.

All of them including his Elites gasped, they couldn't hold it anymore. Only a few of them are clad in complete Iron Tier gear, they could only express their jealousy towards those who are. But, what attracts them the most is 3 Silver Tier Items. Almost 90% of the players here, are their first time seeing this.

As for the prices of that, a single Iron Tier costs 3,000 GP and the Silver Tier is worth 10,000 GP. How to earn GP? Its simple just do a Grade D quest for the guild, and you'll earn 150 GP. Participate in any guild activities and they would earn more! How generous is that. And that is just the start, if the guild level reaches level 3 they would enjoy much more benefits.

"Hold your horses everybody, everyone can get their fills later. As for now, I want all, not a single one allowed to refuse nor excused, I want all of you to participate in the Dungeon search. Gather all information you could get, clues and everything as long as its information about the Dungeon. I want results in a day, as for the one who discovers the entrance of the dungeon, I would reward them 5,000 GP. Now go in groups of 3, dismiss!" After assigning everyone's task Magnus immediately sent a Guild Party invitation.

A Guild Party is a wide party type group only applicable for guild. A Guild Party can only be formed by the Guild Master, its sole purpose is simple, to not allow outsiders to benefit from any rewards the party gained. This includes, first kills, experience points, dungeon clears, etc.

There's also a special function that only the Guild Master can do. He can create groups, this groups can have code names or something.This special function is useful for this kind activity. Thus Magnus could easily identified whose group did what.

Then all of them embarked on their journey. Including the Elites, however there's a tiny little problem. When they divided themselves to three, I mean there's 14 of them.

The healer trio is one, the second group is Fiery Wing, Mighty Connor, and ImNeverLate, third is Mad Jester, Unending Stream, and Forgotten Spot, while the forth is the two tanks and the old man.

Leaving only Moonlight whose used to being alone, and Magnus whose also used to being alone. They looked at each other, Magnus smiled warmly at her, while Moonlight lowered her head with a blush.
