Chapter 136: Coworkers introduction

| I wrote a new year special, don't forget to read it |

"So I don't need a grand entrance?"

"No" Zach shook his head "Just show that number on your hand and you'll be fine"

On my left hand was a magic tattoo, every time I inject mana into it, 13 will appear in black fonts.

"I have too many tattoos on my body, I still can't believe my parents haven't disowned me yet. How's Jake doing ever since I sent him here?"

"Great actually" Zach replied "Some of the people who hated you now have a new found respect for you after Jake handled them, to bring in such a talent require skill, his swordsmanship is definitely among the best I've seen"

"I doubt he's better than the other reincarnate during your time though"

"Of course, she was the best, too bad she died, and here I am as a Lich hiding from the gods, apart from yours, of course" he winked "You don't need me to introduce them again, right?"

"I remember, you still can't tell me the spell on how to hide yourself from the gods?"

"Not yet" he smiled

-Dabria, you got any clues?-

-I'm honestly quite stumped, I can't exactly ask the others, so researching it by myself is quite hard- Dabria answered -When you see my brother next time, ask him, maybe he knows-

We then approached the meeting room, 14 seats, Zach sat at the head of the table. On each chair's armrest has a number to where we're suppose to sit, each seats are far apart, since like the number 13 is occupied by me and my bonds. There was 2 seats to my right and left for Damon and Diana. We took our seat, Ace sat on my lap and Siege sat on the ground by my side.

My row was for odd numbers and the other row was for even number. Opposite to me was Rex in his usual lab coat, head of the alchemy department. He also helped the number 1 to make chimeras.

Next to him is the number 10, a minotaur on the biggest chair in the room, 3m tall, crimson red eyes, and wore thick armor with a double sided Axe on his back. He has muscular human arm and body, red skin, but his head was of a bull and he has hooves instead of feet, named Maska.

Next to him was the number 8, a fairy, blue hair, green eyes, her fairy no bigger than the palm of an average person, but she is currently in her human form with her glittering wings tucked behind her back and dressed in a green gown, named Gia Boone. She is in charge of making sure that everyone in the organization is fed.

Number 6, a wolf person, 2m tall, lilac color eyes, dark blue hair and wolf ears. Zach describes him as a werewolf every time he transform to fight, named Jasper. He is responsible for the seeker's armory and equipments

Number 4, a descendent of the phoenix bond of Artia Magus , currently in human form, blonde hair with patches of red, blue eyes named Oz Magus, he is also the head of the healing department.

"You're the fastest person ever to join our ranks, congrats" Oz said

Number 2 was a dragon in human form, a rare gold attribute, gold hair, amber eyes, cheery expression named Erix, his sized is described by Zach to be almost twice as large as a regular dragon, a king within his own settlement, his physical strength matches that of the number 1, in charge of construction.

"And youngest too" Erix laughed "Most of us here are old after all"

Next to me the number 11, occupied by twin elves, one had red hair and the other has blue hair, tan skin, 176cm tall. The blue hair one is always sad, always on the verge of tears, specializes in hand to hand combat, named Redd, the red haired one is always angry and annoyed, specializes in archery, named Azure. Both are in charge of spying and scouting.

Number 9, Alice, succubus, she's in charge of finding new recruits alongside Urie, despite being in the 9th seat, Zach said that her strength is much stronger than what her number represents.

Number 7 is the only one who's not in the meeting room, they are a Cerberus a large 3 headed dog in charge of guarding the seekers hideout, if he was involved in the meeting, it would be a meeting in an open area since they cannot transform. Their names from the left head to right are Connor, Conall and Conan respectively. They don't join meetings unless we are in the state of emergency.

Number 5 is Draven, he's in charge of transportation and occasionally helps Urie and Alice in looking for recruits and is drinking coffee.

"This taste odd" he commented as he took a sip of coffee "Rex, did you fucking poison my coffee again?!"

Rex was whistling away, ignoring Draven.

Number 3 is of course, Urie Chester, the vampire prince, Zach personally went and recruit him before Urie even got the prince position, Urie is a person who seeks entertainment, willing to find organizations such as the red sword and use them as pawns.

Number 1, a homunculus made by Zach himself, Stella West. She looks human, but her back has dragon wings sprouting out, 174cm tall, black hair, one of her eyes is blue and the other is red. She is also hugging a pink teddy bear.

-What was the difference between a chimera and a homunculus again?- Ace asked

-Chimera is a modified being while a homunculus is a life that was artificially made from scratch- Siege explained -A very common misconception-

"Welcome to your first meeting, my son" Urie waved his hands at me

"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not your son?!"

"We're like family, you share my blood" he shrugged

"Seems like he can already fit in" Jasper commented "Our annual meetings get noisy every year, always having new arguments"

"Wasn't it your fault last year that made our meeting last longer than it should?" Azure taunted

"Shut up, don't get me started, since it w-" Jasper tried to retort but Zach then raised his hands and silenced them both

"Quiet, I will not have this meeting leave a bad impression on our new member" Zach said "Let's get it started"
