The Guild Master

With the giant dead the remaining guards and adventurers were able to easily clear out the remaining monsters. "Your quite the impressive individual" the armored man said he had short blond hair with stubble "the names Silas, what about you?"

"Andrew, I would've been dead if not for you guys, thanks." The people are incredibly strong.

"Im Ollie, what rank are you?" the archer said.

"Rank?" I knew about adventurers but I've never heard of rank...

"So you rush into the fight and your not even an adventurer or soldier?" the rogue started "well the ranks go as followed, Bronze, Iron, Gold, Cobalt, Ruby, Platinum, then the rarest Titanium, I'd say you qualify for gold. By the way my names Rogue and I think this is yours" she handed you your dagger "You better take care of it, its a good knife, if you don't... I'll kill you."

"Don't pay attention to her, she's huge on blade maintenance, follow me I'll show you to the guild hall and give you a recommendation, you two go help the survivors." He seems like a very kind man and definitely someone you don't want to piss off. You follow him to the guild hall and when you walk in the place seems desolate, devoid of life, the few who are still there are drinking, from what you could see the hall consists of 6 long feast tables and a main counter which seems to double as a bar with a posh man with a mustache and tuxedo and multiple side doors, you and Silas walk up to the counter.

"Welcome back Silas, where's the rest of your party? And who's your new friend?"

"Hey Simon, the rest are out helping clean up, and this, is a new up and coming adventurer, Andrew."

"Hmm... I see, well if he has your recommendation he must be quite the specimen!" he seemed to be analyzing you

"He was actually going toe to toe with the Wall Breaker before we showed up"

"Is that so? Well then I'll have Henderson test him and decide what class he'll be, come right this way" he gestured to a side room, as you step through the door your greeted by a large man in a black coat with metal straps across it holding up two old looking swords and a short gray beard, so this was Henderson?

"So are you the new recruit I'll be testing?" his voice was deep and gruff, he gave off an air of experience.

"Yes, I think"

"According to Silas he went toe to toe with a Wall Breaker and slew army's of Needle Spider's"

"Is that right?" he looked suspicious "Well lets begin" he began his onslaught, you were barely managing to defend yourself, you could tell he was going easy on you, you would hate to fight him at full strength. "Let's stop here" he said "Silas are you sure your vision isn't faulty? He would never be able to stand against a Wall Breaker and definitely not alone." Silas didn't say anything back, "Well it doesn't matter, the Guild Master wants to see you" as soon as he said that everyone in the room was shocked, was it that insane? He led you out of the room and through another side door leading to a large spiral staircase and finally to a large double door, Henderson pushed them open and revealed the Guild master, definitely what no one was expecting he was a man dressed pink and white striped top hat and long coat with curly shoes and purple gloves but what was odd is that the thing that stood out the most was his black cane with a deep red orb on top with an odd symbol carved in it.

"Why hello?! It's been a while hasn't it?" he began, he was a very eccentric person with a flare for the theatrical, "Oh dear me! I had you mistaken for someone else! Henderson you may leave us." He walked out of the room "You put on quite a show for me out there today! You are truly spectacular!"

"...You were watching me?" he gives off a weird vibe that's making your gut scream not to trust him.

"Well of course I was, it's not every day a being like you shows up" he circled you clearly examining you for some reason "So tell me, how did you come across these fantastical power's? They're clearly not yours..." How the hell did he find out?! "And do try not to kill me, the bloodlust is just oozing off of you"

"...I don't know what your talking about..." you trust this guy as far as you could throw him, which isn't very much.

"Oh please. Why don't you just show yourself already?!" he said before staring at you as if he were staring into your soul, just then you feel that angry feeling in the back of your mind force itself to the surface, it feels as though its scratching at the inside of your skull, you cant help but cry out in pain. "There he is!" he says with a devilish grin "well I know all I need to for now! I must thank you for visiting this humble city but I suggest you leave before you get hurt! Ta-ta!" he says before sitting down, he waved his hand with the cane in it and sort of power forced you out of the room and slammed the door shut behind you.
