Joining the Mercenary Guild

Secat led Polemos to a three story building that had a rowdy and boisterous presence as there were even individuals who were sprawled out on the floor and balcony. But it held a pressure that was not to be challenged as Polemos was able to feel that the only reason why the mercs were able to act that way is because of someone who held power.

"I gotta ask, is this normal here?"

Polemos asked as he looked around at all the bodies that were passed out drunk or sleeping like a log. It reminded him more of a bar than an office for mercenaries. He was even disappointed by the presence of some of them as he felt that some were even weaker than him.

"Unfortunately, yeah this is quite normal. But that's only for the first floor, the second is a little less wild even though there are a couple people hanging over the balcony. The third floor is where the more powerful and known mercenaries deal or handle their business." Secat sighed as her face took on a more serious expression and pressure. "Luckily for you all you need to do is register with the guild then I'll be able to assign you and Rose as our newest members. And the only time you'll have to come back here is when your rank increases or when you've been requested by the head. Rose should be fine outside while we get you registered."

Secat kicked the door open as the noise inside died down quickly, some even stood in rage as they saw the door bang open with such a fierce kick. But the moment they saw Secat they immediately froze as a look of fear spread across their faces as she ignored them and walked through the crowd and up to the counter. Polemos followed right behind smiling as he looked through the crowd.

'Even though many are beneath me in strength they could have easily conquered or killed the entire tribe with just a few of them. All emitte a pressure that can match Captain easily. I'm glad I left, otherwise I would have never advanced.' Polemos thought as he reached the counter as Secat was speaking with a guild member.

"Got a newbie here who wants to join, and he's already been recruited to my group. Just need to get the formalities out of the way and will be outta your hair."

The guild member nodded his head as he reached down to grab the paperwork as well as the other items needed to fully register the newbie.

"Alright, where's the newb-." He stopped when he saw the person Secat brought to be registered as he flinched and started to shake. "Leave, leave, you're not welcomed here you monster!!"

He screamed in fear which gathered everyone's attention as they all looked towards Polemos as he just smiled as he seemed to be unbothered by all their stares and confusion.

Secat on the other hand was confused and surprised as she looked at Polemos then back to the guild member.

"Hey what's wrong with you, what did he do to you that deserves that sort of treatment? He's only here to register and leave, don't make me get the guild head."

When the guild member heard Secat he only looked at her in fear and pleaded.

"Please make him leave, he, he has purple eyes, everywhere he walks death follows, don't you know that. He'll only cause trouble to the oasis and everyone in it."

"Well yeah I knew that but, death follows after me also." Then she gestured across the entire hall. "And it follows everyone else also. Stop your bitching and do your job."

But the guild member continued to plead further as fear seemed to be embedded deep into his bones.

"No you don't understand, Death literally follows him. Everyone who has had purple eyes was one of Death's favorites-." He couldn't finish as he was interrupted by the very person he was afraid of.

"He's not wrong, you know. I've personally met and talked with Death a couple times already and it seems that she's very interested in what I've done. I've even been blessed by her as she has given me her kiss." Polemos spoke in a cold and neutral tone as he continued. "But that doesn't seem to exclude me from joining an organization such as yours since this is the perfect breeding ground for me." He smiled in an eerie manner as he looked into the guild members eyes which only made him fall to the floor as a wet stain came from his crotch.

When he saw his reaction, Polemos continued to look into his fear filled eyes as they rolled to the back of his head as he passed out. Then he heard a sigh come from the second floor as a beast of a man walked down the steps. With each step he took the floor shook slightly.

He was three meters tall, his arms the size of Polemos's waist, and bald with scars that covered his entire body. He spoke in a voice that sounded like a rumble of thunder in the distance.

"Sorry about that Secat, I'll take care of his registration. Follow me kid."

"It's ok Gerg. Just wasn't expecting to see such a coward in the guild." Secat answered with a smile on her face.

Polemos only shrugged his shoulders as he followed behind Gerg, as Secat followed behind as they entered a room on the first floor. When they entered the room Gerg took an entire couch as he sat down and greeted himself officially.

"Welcome to the guild I'm the vice guild master Gerg the Scared." He held a unique looking crystal as he continued. "This is just a recording crystal that will record the information that you give. Then after we get everything recorded you'll be official with the guild. So why don't we start with your name, age, and anything you'd like to add."

Secat was already sitting across from Gerg as she smiled as she was interested in what Polemos was going to say.

"Alright seems simple enough. Well my name is Polemos the Mad One, seventeen years old, I'm currently at the peak of the True Acolyte Stage, I like to read, cook, hunt, fish, and oh yeah I'm pretty sure everyone thinks I'm a devil because of my eyes." He was smiling the entire time as Gerg was recording his information. "Plus I've already decided to join The Burnt Lioness and to give you a heads up I'm pretty sure I'll be causing quite the commotion with Gods Blood since I've pissed off their so-called Gods and members."

When Gerg heard the last part he looked to Secat for confirmation as she nodded her head and added on.

"He did just recently take an arm and tongue of one of their lower members."

When Gerg heard that he sighed slightly as he shook his head and put away the recording crystal as he looked into Polemos's purple eyes.

"Is that centipede-"

"Rose." Polemos added.

"Sorry, Rose. With you also?"

"Yes, she's my partner. She'll also be joining The Burnt Lioness." Polemos smiled as he continued to stand with his hands behind his back as he waited for Gerg to finish.

"Well that should be it, you'll start off as a white ranked mercenary and advance as you complete missions or anything that will help advance the guild. And since you've said you already joined The Burnt Lioness then that'll make things easier. Just make sure you don't cause too much of a disturbance in the oasis and you'll be fine." Gerg spoke as he started to rise to his feet as he looked to Secat. "I need to talk to you upstairs."

After he said his piece he headed out the door without waiting for her reply.

Secat was surprised but groaned as she reluctantly accepted his request then looked to Polemos.

"Sorry it seems I'll be a little bit as this is probably related to the recent ruin we just explored. Just hang out in the lobby or outside."

Polemos smiled as he answered. "Sure. I'll be outside with Rose so she isn't alone. Plus it seems as if some of the more rowdy ones have been eyeing her."

Secat only shook her head as she followed after Gerg as she spoke.

"Just don't kill anyone."

Polemos chuckled as he left after her as he started to head outside and answered.

"Sure." As he waved.

When he left the hall he wasn't surprised as Rose had drawn a crowd but she ignored them as she was currently lying on the sands waiting for Polemos to come out of the guild.

"Who the hell's pet is this?"

"I don't know, probably some creep who enjoys being around insects."

"Hey didn't one of the Gods Blood members mention someone who came in with this centipede, they even gave out a reward for anyone who kills it."

"Really, then I guess I'll easily be able to get the reward money for killing his pathetic and weak insect."

The one who spoke tried to unsheathe his blade but felt something grab onto the back of his neck as he felt his bones start to crack as he screamed in pain.

"They really continue to tempt me with their stupidity and arrogance don't they. Well it seems like I was not convincing enough when I took that moron's arm and tongue." Polemos spoke in a dark and cold tone as he asked the gentleman who he held in his grip a question. "Now before I snap your neck and make the rest of your body a vegetable, could you kindly tell me where I could possibly find the weaker members of Gods Blood? My good friend."
