Waiting In Line

When Jay and Nuggets found the exit, they saw a huge crowd blocking their way. More precisely, a crowd of Halfbloods.

"Hey kid! Don't cut the line!" A man who had a serpent's body said as he saw Jay walking past him.

"Oh, excuse me... But what are you lining up for?" Jay asked the serpentine man.

"I am lining up in order to exit this place, duh! Why else would I line up here then?"

When Jay heard the serpentine man, he face palmed himself while Nuggets laughed at him.

"Hahaha!!! Jay, did you lose your common sense the moment you woke up? Hahaha!!!"

When Jay heard Nuggets, he almost wanted to hide in a corner due to embarrassment.

But instead of doing that, he just joined the queue.

...

After around 30 minutes, Jay noticed something... "Why isn't the line moving at all? Since that's the case, I should just check up on everyone then."

After muttering softy, Jay activated the guild emblem and tried communicating with everyone.

"Hey, guys! What you doing?"

Then after a few seconds, someone responded back.

"Oh! Guild Master, what's up! You finally awake? Will we do that dungeon you were speaking of when we were still in the passage? Should I gather everyone?"

When Jay heard this reply, he was surprised and thought "Wait... They already know that I am still alive? But the story that Aisleen told me was that she knocked everyone out..."

While he was thinking this, Nuggets suddenly spoke to him.

"Remember the 'secret' Aisleen said? After she did that, she brought everyone here. When everyone saw that you are still alive, they were so happy. But when Aisleen told them that you will probably not wake up after 3-4 days, Roasted Boar handed over the new guild emblem to Aisleen requesting her to give it to you after you wake up."

After hearing Nuggets explain all that, Jay finally cleared up some thoughts he had. So he then replied back to the voice in the guild emblem...

"No need to gather everyone for now. But I want some reports about what happened when I was out. Also tell everyone to focus on improving and learning skills."

Then the voice replied "Yes, Guild Master."

But after that, Jay found out that the queue still haven't moved. He then decided to ask the serpentine man in front of him "Hey, any idea why the line is not moving?"

The serpentine man then replied "Oh, everyone is currently waiting for the 'Four Great Kings' arrival. In order to show our respect to their status, the Lady Aisleen asked everyone to meet them before we leave. But... those people at the front decided to just meditate at their spot and not even give way to those who want to leave already!"

Jay was stupefied when he heard the reason why the queue is not moving. He was even more shocked when he heard that the 'Four Great Kings' were going to arrive.

"What the hell... Isn't Aisleen just too fast in mobilizing and recruiting her forces? It hasn't even been a month since I reincarnated! No wonder she won the First Great War..."

After thinking about that, Jay decided to just do something else while he waited in line. He then remembered that he still has the Fate System with him so he entered his mind room.

"Time to check my stats now..."

"The new skills and spells displayed is obviously from the time when I did a skill demo, but what the hell is up with the stuff displayed in 'Others?' The Unknown soul is obviously related to the Chicken Lord, the Life-Death seal was probably formed when I saved Nuggets, but why did I also get the Thundergod's Blessing..." Jay sighed while saying this softly.

Jay then went over to the bookshelf or the 'Library' area and saw a lot of new books. And the most distinguishable among these books was the one Aisleen just gave him.

"It looks like whenever I learn a skill or spell, a book will automatically be created here. As for this 'Complete Transformation' spell that Aisleen gave me..."

Jay then went into deep thought before he went towards the map area.

"Oh yeah! I can fast travel. But..." Jay was against the idea of fast traveling right now since something big might happen due to the 'Four Great Kings' arriving. He did not want to miss out on whatever will happen.

While Jay was fiddling around with some stuff in the Mind Room, the giant doors of the castle's entrance, or right now, where Jay and the others will exit, suddenly opened.

Then a large bat flew past the doors and shouted

"MAKE WAY AND BOW DOWN TO THE FOUR GREAT KINGS!"

Jay then left the mind room and focused with the matter at hand.
