Hit the Road, Jack!: Hit Forming a Team!

Yrwin was the current Emperor of the Furuk Empire. He had "ascended" to the throne on the times of the game, and now worried as to what could he do.

He was tied to the empire.

The game was excruciatingly realistic, so there were NPC factions and nobility which would periodically engage on stratagems to kill him.

As much as he hated the lifeless eyes of the guarding NPCs', he needed them.

But not only them.

He would periodically receive Quests from the system, and it seemed like this hadn't changed.

- Your Majesty, a dragon is attacking the land! His holiness the pope requests help from the military!

On Another World, "pope" was a role many could attain, and it basically meant a bishop-class player who was able to make deals with kingdoms in order to rule religion on them.

The Pope in Furuk Empire was an NPC from a faction which was always opposing Yrwin.

- What do I do...

Was this the game still, he would bravely lead a cavalry unit and slay the dragon himself.

However, the stakes were too high this time.

What would he do? Risk being eaten alive? Not a chance!

But, still, he had to answer somehow. Otherwise, his position would weaken and he would be soon assassinated.

- Tell the army to prepare five platoons and one general. Send them to rescue the Pope.

Then, spread a notice on the whole of the empire: The Furuk Empire requests for brave heroes who can slay the dragon! However, there's a condition!

Yrwin could use this chance. He couldn't carelessly send messages all through the Empire, as this would bring problems to him - if he took the initiative to do so, the NPC nobles would craw to his side in no time, asking how they could help him and activating all kinds of Kingdom Quests. So, he hadn't been looking for other players. Now was the perfect chance.

- The ones who answer my call must be have the 'Player' skill tree and come to the Royal Palace to meet with me, King Yrwin the Player, beforehand!

Yrwin did what he could. Now, all he could do was count on luck. If he got enough players with him, could he run away with them?

As for the messenger NPC in front of him, his face showed surprise and shock. Did the emperor just called himself a "player" ? Like a playboy ?

- I hear and obey, Your Majesty!

The NPC went out of the palace hall, and Yrwin resumed his work. Soon a Reputation Quest would be triggered with the poor emperor at the center of it.

'I hope i can escape in time'....
