Envoy From The Adventurer's Guild

After the farmers left with wide smiles on their faces while Heda led them to a nearby place for them to construct their new homes and farms, Abby arrived at the guild hall. She was really surprised since this was the first time she saw such a grand and luxurious guild hall.

She immediately wanted to check what was inside so she ran towards the doors of the guild hall.

...

Hub Center, 1st floor of the Guild Hall...

"I wonder what should I do now? Should I keep working on my spells or explore the guild hall too?" Roasted Boar said as he was still seated near a table. Just as he was about to get a drink behind the bar counter, a young girl suddenly opened the doors of the guild hall.

"Who are you?" Roasted Boar immediately stood up since for some reason, this young girl in front of him managed to bypass the protection barrier of the guild hall. The protection barrier was supposed to make sure that only members of Golden Phoenix are allowed entrance unless someone from the guild grants their permission.

Roasted Boar even started preparing to cast one of his own created spell, 'Tiny Blaster', and his hand suddenly started glowing red.

"Wait! It's me, Abby!" The young girl said immediately the moment she saw Roasted Boar casting a spell.

"Abby?! (No. Impossible. Abby is just a small kid... Abby?)" Roasted Boar did not know why, but he really felt like the young girl in front of him was really Abby. But he was not sure since he was pretty sure that Abby is just a little girl.

"Here's my guild emblem. Do you believe me now?" Abby said as she took out her guild emblem the moment she saw Roasted Boar having doubts.

"Abby! It's really you?! Wait... hold on... Did you use a spell to transform yourself?" Roasted Boar was just really surprised.

Seeing Roasted Boar's reaction, Abby decided to tell him about what happened to her during the past week, when she was in the Frozen Times Tower.

...

A week ago...

--- Frozen Times Tower, Southern Area ---

After Lissandra used the spell 'Dreamweaver's World,' Abby immediately fell into deep sleep.

"Sorry child. But before I teach you to any further, you have to get through this." Lissandra said softly before sitting down next to Abby, who was now sleeping peacefully.

...

Dreamweaver's World

The Dreamweaver's World is an 8th tier Illusion spell. The use of this spell was to trap someone in a different reality inside their head, a different world. And this world can be designed in any way the one who casted the spell wants.

Right now, Abby was currently experiencing a lot of things in this different world. She kept seeing people close to her die. Some because of natural causes, assassinations, and worse, she was the one who killed them. No matter how much she tried, she just cannot control her body. And for every death scene she experienced, she always saw the same monster and a small knife in front of her.

"Sis! No!" Abby cried out as she saw Annie getting killed by a monster with a goat-like body.

Abby kept on going through the same death scenes over and over again, until she can no longer have the strength to shout. Her throat was dried up, her voice was really rough, and her eyes were so dry from a lot of crying before.

Then suddenly, she got transported into a place that looked like an arena. In front of her was the goat-like monster. She then heard an eerie and deep voice behind her.

"Abbyyyyy.... whyyyy..."

Abby glanced at her back and saw everyone she cared about. Her parents back at the real world, Annie, and everyone else from Golden Phoenix.

She saw them crying out to her in pain. They keep asking her why she did not save them.

After that, the goat-like monster rushed towards her and stabbed her with its horns.

...

"AAAHHHHH!!!" Abby screamed on the top of her lungs the moment the spell was lifted. She did not want to experience anything like that again and whenever she remembered all of those death scenes, she shuddered in fear.

"So, did you learn anything from your dream?" Lissandra said while she patted Abby's head.

"Yes. I am too weak to save anyone." Abby said while she suddenly started crying.

"Tell me, why didn't you pick up the knife?" Lissandra asked while she stood up and crossed her arms.

Abby did not respond and she stopped crying. She balled her tiny hands into a fist and stood up.

"Please teach me how to be strong. I do not want to be a weak little girl anymore." Abby said resolutely.

"Impressive. I did not have to attempt the dreamweaver's world multiple times." Lissandra thought to herself and then said, "Of course. That's the reason why I brought you here anyways."

...

At the present time, back at the hub center of the guild hall...

"...and then I trained and trained. For some reason, it felt like I spent 10 years in that place." Abby finished up her story while Roasted Boar had a really weird look on his face.

"Hey, where's Annie? It's been a long time since I saw my sister." Abby said while she stood up.

"Don't know. You should look for her yourself." Roasted Boar said since he did not want to explain the long story about Abby's teenage looks.

"Oh. Okay then."

After Abby left to look for Annie, Roasted Boar decided to start working on his spells again since he had nothing to do at the moment.

...

2 hours later...

A new group of people arrived in front of the guild hall. There were 50 of them. There was even a luxurious carriage at the middle of the group.

Inside the carriage...

"That's your guild right there? Your guild master must be very rich." A skinny guy with short blond hair said while he looked at the guild hall in front of him. He was wearing a steel armor set and a golden cloak. He also had a golden crown on his head.

In front of him was a young man with long black hair. The young man had two pistols tied to his belt and was wearing a leather armor set dyed in black. This young man is Boras, who went missing for a week.

Boras nodded his head and thought, "I wonder how strong everyone is after a week of training..."

...

Since everyone inside the guild hall was busy with something, no one managed to invite these group of people in. Having no other choice, Boras stepped out of the carriage and allowed the group he was with to enter the courtyard for the meantime.

"Where are they anyways?" Boras wondered to himself as he saw the knights in steel armor step into the courtyard one after another. Just at the moment the luxurious carriage entered the courtyard, Heda suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Hold it. (How the hell did this group of knights enter? And what's with that carriage?)" Heda stopped everyone from advancing. But as she observed the group of knights, she saw a familiar person standing near the gates of the courtyard, Boras.

"Boras! Hey! What's up dude!" Heda shouted excitedly.

"Hey, what are you doing stopping the people I invited in?" Instead of a nice greeting, Boras said this with an annoyed tone.

"Eh?"

...

After the group of knights and the carriage entered the courtyard, Boras decided to tell Heda why he invited these people to enter.

"Heda, those knights right there are the escorts of the one riding the carriage." Boras said while he gestured the group to just relax for a while.

"Okay... then why did you bring them here?" Heda asked while she tried to use her Monster Vision to see who was inside the carriage. But sadly, a strong and powerful force blocked her eyesight the moment she did that. She even felt something that tried to burn her eyeballs.

"Ouch!"

"You tried to peek inside huh? I would recommend you not to do that. The person inside that carriage is the king of Yellowleaf City, Xavier." At the same time Boras said this, the skinny blond haired guy came out of the carriage.

"What?! You managed to invite a king over?!" Heda was full of questions right now. It has just been a week and a few days, and Boras managed to invite a king over.

"Relax. I just met him while I was traveling from Greengarden towards the guild hall. He also told me that he needed to talk to someone in charge of managing the guild's finances. And I'm not sure if he was just messing with me when he told me that he was also the envoy sent by the Adventurer's guild at Yellowleaf."

"WHAT!?" Heda cannot hold in her shock anymore and shouted really loud.
