Rose

"Huh?" Nathen was a bit surprised that someone said that.

He looked to his side just to see a girl the same age as him.

She had long, green, waist-length hair that wasn't restrained by anything. Her Irish was green as well. She was wearing a shirt and pants that didn't match the environment. She had stunning features that rivaled those of top models.

"Who might you be?" Nathen asked curiously. Because he didn't think anyone would want to claim they were in the weakest company.

She smiled at him and said, "I am Rose Grandior from Pheonix Academy."

"Pheonix Academy?" Nathen searched his memory for where he heard it. Then he remembered it was one of the top-tier academies of the entire Vibra Star System.

He exclaimed with his eyes widened."You are from such a great academy! Why do you want me to join your company?"

"We will discuss that later. First, come outside with me." Rose walked out of the building, signaling for him to follow her too.

He decided to follow her and used Character Identifier on her.

[ Rose Grandior(Rank-5 Elementry Battle Warrior) -- Daughter of the well-known CEO. The daughter of HighRise Inc.'s owner. She is stubborn in her heart. She gets bullied by everyone because she is the child of a concubine. She just wants anyone, no matter how bad they are, to form a company for personal reasons. ]

She stopped right before a white sedan and opened the door. After entering the car, she invited him. "Come in, we can talk here."

Nathen entered the car, and immediately the car started moving forward.

Rose tilted her head and asked curiously. "You just entered my car without any thought. What if I am just a kidnapper? Or a person with bad intentions?"

"I believe a beautiful girl can't lie." Nathen pressed the palms of his hands together and said, like a Buddhist monk.

"Heh." Rose smirked hearing his words. "I hope that statement doesn't come biting you back."

"So, don't you want to introduce yourself?"

Nathen looked into her eyes and said, "My name is Nathen Bornheart, and I am doing nothing in life."

"Nothing?"

"Nothing."

"You sure have an easy life." Rose raised her eyebrows.

"Easy life..." Nathan thought about all the hardships he had been going through for thousands of years. Just because he was mentally strong, he felt it wasn't that hard, and for some people, it might have been hard. As he knew many people also did the trial.

"Yes, I did have an easy life."

Rose became curious after hearing the melancholy in Nathen's words. However, she tossed those out of her head and started her explaining. "Now, we should go down to our business."

"I am the daughter of a certain big person in the business world. As someone who was born at a disadvantage, I am being harassed everywhere. Now, in the academy, we have been assigned to create a company. But my competitors are stealing every good one, and the rest of the people that want to join me are filled with malicious intent."

"So, after some research, I found out you can create a company by having an outsider, but that person has to be a beginner or at a lower level than you. For that, I wa- "

"Ok, I am in." Suddenly, Nathen spoke, interfering with her explanation.

"Huh!?" Rose was shocked, as she had never seen anyone agree without hearing her explanation.

All the people in the past she asked would listen to her explanation fully and reject her, or would just reject her from the start upon hearing she was all alone.

"Don't you want to know the dangers that might come?"

"No, I just want to join the weakest company. I do not care about danger." Nathen answered nonchalantly.

Rose sighed and took her phone out. After typing something on it, she turned to him and said."Open up your hunter status interface."

He did as she told him and opened it. He saw a small notification down the interface.

[ You have an invitation from Deadliest Thorns. ]

[ Do you accept? ]

[ Yes] [ No ]

Nathen asked. "Is this your company? Deadliest Thorns?"

"Yes," Rose said proudly.

"What an edgy name, but whatever, I like it." He tapped on the Yes button.

[Congratulations on joining the company, Deadliest Thorns. ]

"Welcome to Deadliest Thorns as the first member." Rose put her hand forward with a smile.

Nathen took that and shook her hands.

[ Ding ]

[ Chain Mission: A Team Man has been completed ]

[ Congratulation, you have received Equipment - Dark Magician's Cloak(A) ]

Along with her congrats the system's notification also popped in front of his face.

"Thank you." Nathen told the system to hold the reward and asked Rose."So, what should we do now?"

"We will have to complete the lowest level dungeon to be completely verified as a company." Rose said that and then looked at her driver. "Take us to the Goblins' Small Hut."

"Huh?" Nathen asked nervously. "So, you are saying we have to complete a dungeon right now? Can't we do it tomorrow or some other day?"

Nathen didn't mind going on an adventure immediately, but he first had to get his cultivation rank up. He also had to transform his Heart Seed into a weapon.

"You don't have to be scared. This is just a Rank-G dungeon, and even the lowest on its ranking." Rose said while shrugging her shoulders then she said with confidence. "Also, you don't have to do anything. You just have to stand behind me. I can sweep this dungeon all by myself."

"Uhh.." Nathen pointed his finger up as he wanted to make a point for himself.

Nathen shut his mouth and said with a helpless sigh."Okay, we will today."
