In the kingdom of mistwood.
The entire civilian was hearing about the kings request and orders.
[Reports]
[Citizens of mistwood kingdom. I have strictly been forcing all those whose below status will be going on adventurer, the age of 15 and above. He or she will be drafted by the law of his majesty. For those who refuse will be forced to be punished by death. We're happy to inform you in two weeks. We'll send you a further notice.]
The citizens were not happy.
"Typical! The king is mad. He's even forcing us!"
"I'm too old to go outside."
"This is absurd! They want us to go outside! While they hide in their castle away from danger."
"How is it fair?! For us to be forced! While they sit there safely in their castle while we risk our life."
One of the citizens was speaking one at a time, knowing that King was being ridiculous. While the citizens shouted and chatting, while the a mysterious figure came back from his adventure.
The man was wearing a poorly dress old armor suit. He had no helmet while carrying sword on his left waist. On his neck, he shows chameleon emblem on his neck.
He was the leader of the chameleon guild.
His name is Allen Don, and he's fighter class. He's an A-rank adventurer.
Allen kept hearing people around him complaining about the kings decision. While he walks towards his guild.
Allen slowly opens the door.
He immediately inhales the sweet stench, of guilds air, and breathes it out.
"Oh man! It is good to be back home." Allen said with serious expression.
He noticed Paulina serving the guilds meal. He decided to approach her calmly and ready to surprise her.
Paulina was unaware that her leader was slowly approaching her from behind.
"Good evening, Mrs. I was wondering if you could tell me where're the finest alcohol is around her." His playful tone.
She was too busy to pay attention without realizing her boss was talking to her.
She casually said, "I'll be right there with you, sir. Let me take this order real quick."
She was writing down some orders that her guild member wanted. Then she slowly turned around to meet him, but when she saw who it was.
She got excited.
"Your back!" She said while jumping in his arm.
Allen smiled while fully embracing her.
Both were excited.
Paulina slowly stepped back, "I wasn't expecting you to be here. Did you finish your Adamantium quest?" She said with formal voice.
Allen nods, "I managed to kill a few orce. The villagers were generous and gave me a few coins."
She handed her the sack filled with coins.
She gracefully accepted.
"Oh my. That's very generous of them. But it will not cover up all the damages." Her voice filled with sure, but her expression was showing concern.
Allen noticed her deep concern.
So he quickly changed the subject.
"So... what's new around here?" He said nervously.
Paulina said, "Well, we have a major stack of quest be piling up recently."
She pointed at the board.
"Wow... none of our members couldn't even take at least. One of those quests?" He said with a concern.
Paulina chuckles, "I hardly doubted. Our members don't have the skill to take iron, silver, and aluminum quests. Even though that's for D-rank adventurer but as you can see."
Allen noticed none of his guild members. Has not even been able to surpass their rank. There were a lot of F and E-ranks in his guild, and they were not able to take a higher quest.
Allen sighs, "Damn... not a single one was not able to pass D-level quest."
The disappointment in his eyes.
Allen guild was not able to develop skillful adventurers. Now, looking at them.
Seeing them laugh and fooling around with each other. While causing ruckus and starting a fight out of nowhere.
Allen wasn't sure if his guild would ever reach the sky. The goal he ever dreamed of was when he first started his first guild. Was to create allies.
Thinking back, he was filled with passion and overwhelming confidence.
Thought one day.
He will create a guild that can fully help others and create new comrades in battle. Fighting monstrous demons and go on adventurers with friends and family.
But now, it was nothing but a useless idea.
Allen lost all hope.
"But, the good news is. We got new members," her worried expression shifted to joy.
Allen wasn't the slightest interested.
"That's great. More members..." He forced his smile and only looked at the bright side.
Paulina noticed his skeptical reaction.
"I'm serious, Allen. You should probably meet them."
"Sure. Since you're showing so much excitement." Allen said while not showing any joy but disappointment.
Paulina said, "You'll not believe it. The two that join us are unbelievably strong."
Mmm...
Allen slightly shows an interest. But he thought they were at least not on her level.
Paulina went ahead and told him.
She leans forward and whisper to his ear. Allen wasn't even considering it. He thought it wasn't a big deal, but when she told him about the two members, rank.
Allen eyes widened, and he was surprised.
"Whaaaatttt!" He shouted without realizing it.
Paulina giggles, "Now, you know." She likes his reaction.
Allen quickly grabbed her shoulder tightly and got too serious.
"Paulina. Are you sure? Please... tell me that this isn't one of your tricks?" His voice filled with doubts. But he was more curious about the two that really joined his guild.
"If you don't believe me. You can go ahead and ask them yourself." She said with a formal, calm tone. While pointing her thumb behind her.
Allen looked behind her and noticed the two new adventures that recently joined his guild.
Paulina said, "Oh, by the way—"
Woooshh.
Allen quickly vanish from her sight without hearing her out.
Paulina felt the wind pass her.
"That was rude." She said.
***
Clara was sitting next endless.
Then a sudden wind blows towards them.
Woosh.
Allen appears in front of them.
Showing his excited expression.
Clara wasn't surprised. Since she already sensed his presence before he walked in. While endless, he wasn't the slightest interested in seeing him.
They both were more laid back.
Clara was unpleasant to see someone that she had never met before.
"May we help you?" Her voice filled with unpleasant.
Allen heard her tone, and he quickly tried to settle the unpleasant tone of her.
"Hi... uh... my name is Allen." He said with nervous expression with a shaking tone.
She wasn't even the slightest interested in him or cared about what he came for.
Allen said, "I'm sorry... I just wouldn't believe that you two were S-rank. I came here excitedly to tell you two. That you be moving towards the upper level floor."
The two were a little bit taken aback by his sudden change.
"Upper level?" Clara said. She was confused about what he meant.
Allen nodded and said, "Yes, upper-level. I'll be happy to show you." He said with politeness.
The two glance at each other for a moment and decide to go along.
Paulina was waiting patiently for them to arrive.
Allen said, "Paulina and I will guide and show you."
Paulina shows them by walking towards the upper stairs leading the 3r floor.
The third floor was for S rankers only.
"This floor is restricted for only those who are below S." Paulina said.
"Paulina, here is correct. No other adventurer, but you two are allowed to have access." Allen said.
Both were a little bit amazed.
The floor was different, but it shows a hint of class and status, then the lower floors. Clara liked the treatment that they were given.
Her expression changed for the better.
Allen said, "This board shows different Higher tasks but mostly hard hell level. It's better you take the lower once for experience."
Allen explained everything they needed to know.
"Since you two are S-rank. Here are new major reports." Paulina said.
The king's order.
Endless slightly smirk, "Mmm... they needed a few group. To scout the area and find out what is inside the tower." He muttered to himself.
Endless showing an interest. Knowing well, he's the owner of that tower. Clara noticed his facial expression. She finally realized that he's probably involved in that incident, but she kept quiet.
Clara said, "It seems like that tower is causing others to feel unease." She kept it casually without revealing it.
Paulina and Allen agreed.
Allen said, "Will you accept the kings request? It will bring us more attention towards our guild. I know I'm asking a lot, but will you accept?" He was asking them if they couldgo. Since he's more interested in getting his guild recognition.
Allen knew it was a selfish request.
But he wanted his guild to get a lot of attention. This was big news for him.
Endless pretending to make an exception by thinking about it, showing his facial expression, and thinking about it. He noticed Allen was showing a concern.
Endless had him way he wanted him.
"Sure. I always wanted to see this tower that appeared near us." He acted like he was interested.
Allen was now showing his excited expression.
"Alright. I knew you were a righteous guy. I'll let Paulina do the paperwork." Allen said.
"I'm already on it, sir." Paulina stamped the paper immediately.
Clara noticed Allen was also reaching for the same quest that we were going.
"Wait... you're also coming?" She said with firm tone.
Allen smiled wider, "Yep. Since I'm also required to go. Paulina will be company with us."
Paulina said, "Well, of course. Besides, we are forced to go anyway. It's not like we have a choice." She said with a playful tone.
Endless said, "Than... I'll let you lead this party."
Both were taken aback.
Allen didn't think of it.
"Are you sure? You're pretty much higher than me." He said towards endless.
Endless replied back, "You're the captain of this guild. Surely you know that. And I don't feel like being in charge."
Allen heartbeat was beating with excitement. He never thought one day he'll party with S-ranker and as their leader. This was a huge moment for him.
Allen patted his endless shoulder gently.
"Haha... than I will respectfully accept." His over excitement was showing.
Paulina was showing her joy.
Both parties were now going.
***
Back at the tower.
The guardian were eagerly waiting for their orders. Some bosses from each floor were gathering.
The intense atmosphere inside the meeting room.
Different types of humanoids appear at once.
The human maids were serving the table with different types of food. Each maid was all top beauty's showing off their enormous bust size and thick figures.
Even the humanoid butler were serving the high-class table.
Each one of them were preparing for their master returns.
There was only one throne.
Each creature stands and guards the table with precision and intense stare. The room was a luxurious hallway filled with ancient writings on the walls. The banner was showing different clans from each floor. The carpet is filled with red and highly class materials.
Each maid were showing their unique outfits.
While their bust was more noticeable. Each maid outfits were designed with precise interest from their creator. Their were all white figures as well. Even some were in their human form to disguise themselves.
A demon shows his appearance.
"The plan of his majesty will be held soon. Prepared for his warm welcome." His voice filled with excitement and overjoyed.
His body was shivering with insane joy. This was Wilson. He was a demon king serving his creator.
His demon chefs servant were appearing with different food on their plates.
Each food was unique, and the aroma of hot and spice filled the air. The demon chef around the long banquet table, their claws deftly handling exotic ingredients.
Then, one clumsy demon accidentally spilled one drip of wine on the table.
The demon shivers with fear.
The others quickly back away with fear in their eyes.
Wilson shows a sinister cold expression.
"You dare. Spilled a wine on centuries-old silk. Your death will be quick."
The demon bow with fear.
However, Wilson appears behind and pierces his hand towards his back. The demon cough out blood with terror on his face.
He looked down on his chest and saw Wilson hand pierced him from behind.
"You are now relieved from your duty." Wilson said with firm tone.
And threw him away.
The demon guard grabbed the demon corps and dragged it away. Other resumed their task without worries.
Wilson wipes his hand cover in blood.
He continues his priorities as butler and keeps everything in check and precise without mistake.
"Keep everything as it is..."
He walks around the table to check the right way of serving the table.
