[Quest: The Phenex Guild (1/5)]
[Detail: As a young conqueror, you lack everything that a conqueror is supposed to have. You have no territory, you have no strength backing you up, and you don't even have a single person you can trust in your life. Why don't we start with something small? Build the guild and your influence across the multiverse. Before that, you need to earn trust and reputation among your chat group members. Raise the trust of all five members of the chat group to 100, then we will talk.]
[Reward: +200,000 EXP, Heavenly Flame (BTTH), Fire God Slayer Magic (Fairy Tail), Senzu Beans (100)]
When I wanted to push the invite button, my face darkened at how hard the quest was. However, when I saw the reward, it seemed worth it. Yeah, it's hard, but not impossible. After all, raising absolute trust in others towards us is freakin' difficult, but it's not impossible. In the past, I had my own cult in an online game who was willing to fund me in gaming, so I have my own experience regarding this. Pay-to-win doesn't apply to me; I have my own donation group that was willing to pay me. But whatever, it's a past story. Now, let's focus on the present.
As much as I am confident in my own ability to make friends or cults, I don't think it can be done in a single night. I can only drool and sigh in regret that the rewards will be a long time coming.
The idea of fusing the phoenix flame with the heavenly flame from BTTH and Fire God Slayer Magic should be pretty awesome. It would be much better if the reward was the Phoenix Force from Marvel. Perhaps in the future, they will use that as a reward. I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, I was imagining too much, to the point where I forgot the fact that the reward is still far away.
I curbed my expectations as far as possible and focused on the chat group as I hit the invitation button.
Most of the members I chose were from the good camp and had high morals and integrity, but were very understanding and open-minded at the same time. They are not rigid people who nitpick every wrong thing we do, but individuals who understand that not all bad things and flawed actions are evil. Because, let's be real, if people with malicious intent or power-hungry villains join the group, it is no longer a group but a high competition for survival of the fittest and only a tool for gathering power rather than a place for chilling.
To curb all arrogant people like that, it is necessary to gather the early members who are very supportive and friendly. As long as I win their trust and support, and my power is strong enough to intimidate toxic individuals like that, everything is easy. What matters is people's support, and I am powerful enough to establish the authority to keep the chat group healthy. That's it.

Knight King (Fate): What the Merlin is this? Is this Morgan's sorcery trick?
Goddess of Wisdom (Konosuba): Hahaha... As expected of this goddess, come worship me, mortals. Bwuahahaha...
Witch of Britannia (Code Geass): Is that something a wise goddess should say? The title seems more sarcastic than truthful.
It seems the nice way of saying you're not a very wise goddess. I never knew scolding others could be so sophisticated and not sound offensive. I nodded at C.C.'s art of words; I have so much to learn from this witch in terms of becoming a keyboard warrior that doesn't sound like a keyboard warrior, but a very sophisticated individual.
Just kidding!
Now, let's introduce myself to the chat group, shall we?
Phenex Gamer (Chat Group Leader): Hello, everyone, welcome to the Multiverse Girls Chat Group. If you have any questions, you can ask me, as long as they are not sensitive or private matters.
Magical Girl Leviathan (DXD): Are you the Phenex that I know from my world?
Phenex Gamer (Chat Group Leader): Let's keep the matter of our world private, Serafall. Is there anyone else who wants to ask something?
Magical Girl Leviathan (DXD): Oh... Okay.
Witch of Void (Strike the Blood): Is this multiverse as I think? A whole different world, not our world? It seems the group leader is in the same world as Magical Girl Leviathan.
Phenex Gamer (Chat Group Leader): Good question, yes it is. I hope all of you use your real names in the chat group so we can get to know each other better.
By then, I took the initiative to change my name to Ravel Phenex, followed by the chat group members, except for Aqua, who said:
Goddess of Wisdom: Why does this goddess have to change her name? Goddess of Wisdom seems perfectly fine.
[Goddess of Wisdom banned for thirty minutes.]
Ravel Phenex (Chat Group Leader): Ahem... Everyone, I hope you can follow the rules and be respectful. Warning for Aqua: if within one hour the name is still not changed, you will lose your opportunity to become one of us. To put it bluntly, you will be kicked out of the chat group.
[Goddess of Wisdom lifted from her ban.]
Goddess of Wisdom (Konosuba): No...! Please, don't, I will change it.
C.C. (Code Geass): I don't see a wise goddess here.
Artoria Pendragon (Fate): Same, I think your real name is not C.C.
C.C. (Code Geass): Well, Chat Group Leader, I hope you understand that I have my own secret. If you think it is still inappropriate, I will take the initiative to leave the chat group.
Ravel Phenex (DXD): Understandable, since you're respectful enough to give the reason. Just use the name that you feel comfortable with.
Aqua (Konosuba): What's with this unfair treatment? Hey, Chat Group Leader, I should be the one to take the position. I'm more fair and wise.
Urgh... Annoying. Just change this woman to Goddess Eris. I don't want to be in the same group as someone who doesn't respect me and is so rude and annoying.
So...
[Aqua is kicked out of the Chat Group.]
[Goddess Eris joined the Chat Group.]
Now, it's much better, isn't it?
