Chapter 19 - The Guild has appeared!
"What the hell do you mean?"
I asked this question to the Guild Master. It is one of the rare occasions that she is out of the office.
"I mean exactly as I just said, we have lost 5 Silver Ranked Parties so far in the Hearth Jungles. I'll need you to go investigate personally." (Guildmaster)
"What quest were they one?"
If 5 Silver Ranked Parties are dead, then it is likely an enemy at or above Gold Rank, it'll be bothersome if it's a Legend Rank Monster.
"They were on the regular goblin subjugation quest." (Guild Master)
I look at the Guild Master, she looked back at me.
"Your joking."
"You know I won't joke on such a serious occasion." (Guild Master)
Most goblin villages are set on the outskirts of the jungle. Given the fact that even the strongest hobgoblins can't surpass Silver Rank.
Did a strong monster migrate to the outskirts? No that's impossible, there aren't any signs of the weaker monsters getting pushed out of their habitats.
It's most likely a person doing these killings. Could it be a necromancer? Or worse, a Lich.
I feel a chill on my back as I remembered. Calling a Lich unpleasant is a huge understatement.
The Guild Master was waiting for my answer. We've known each other long enough to know what the other was thinking off. She most likely reached the same conclusion as me.
"Is there no one else that can take this request?" I asked.
"All of our Gold Rank Parties have moved to the Falharmus Kingdom, a dungeon there has a boss on floor 30 that drops 1500 gold coins on death and provides 5 random people with a buff that boosts all stats by 1, there's also a rumor that a tamer who got this buff had his tamed monsters increase in strength several times over." (Guild Master)

She said it in a dull tone, yet the implications are dangerous. Only Master Ranked gear can increase a person's stats by 1 and that's only if the crafter is incredibly skilled and lucky. In fact, it's so rare for Master Ranked gear to increase stats no one would say you're wrong if you said only Legend Rank Craftsmen can make such gear.
"What is that bosses stats? How long does the buff last? Does it drop anything other than the Gold?" I asked. If I am right then this boss will be a bigger problem than some Lich.
"The boss is estimated to be High Gold Rank to Low Master Rank based on its stats, however, it uses rather predictable attacks so a Gold Rank Party can kill it easily, in fact, a few Silver Ranked Parties can kill it with some effort. It only drops gold, its carcass disappears after death and the buff seems to last only 2 minutes. However, the Boss respawns every 8 minutes." (Guild Master)
Thankfully the buff doesn't last long enough to be a problem.
"There is no real need to worry about the boss or its dungeon. I have already recalled all our parties staying there, after all, it is likely that Falharmus won't last long." (Guild Master)
"Why is that?"
"A dungeon like this can be considered an important resource even amongst major superpowers, I don't need to tell you the implications of a 3rd rate kingdom holding it." (Guild Master)
"Not only that given how much gold coins the boss drops, it is unlikely Falharmus's economy will last long, given the fact that tens of thousands of gold has entered the market in the last week." (Guild Master)
"It's only been a few days since they have left, is it really ok to recall them?"

"The ones who are sensible will return but if they are so blinded by greed that they won't leave then they deserve to be caught up in the conflict." (Guild Master)
As expected of the Black Hearted Sorceress, she replies following the faith I've put in her after all these years. I'll put that boss in Falharmus in the back of my mind for now. But...
"Which parties are returning?"
It would be a shame if any of our parties get caught up in a war.
"Most of our Silver Ranked Parties are returning with a few Gold Rank Parties that didn't get there soon enough to monopolize the boss. There are still a few parties that want to try their luck, the only notable one is the Gold Rank Party Redhorn Hammershell that got there early." (Guild Master)
"Well then I suppose I should go out and welcome the--
"You still haven't answered my question Vice Guild Master." (Guild Master)
Dammit, she saw through me.
"Well you see I'm retired and all, you won't want this old senior to accidentally break a few bones."
I try my best to look old at this moment, hunching my back and pretending I can't see as well.
"You beat up a 4 Gold Rank Parties, 7 Silver Rank Parties and even a poor Bronze Rank Party just last month, by YOURSELF, while drunk. Not only that, the fight was caused by you when you tried to hit on the healers of 8 separate parties at once. I think you're healthy enough." (Guild Master)
"In fact, I'm still getting people asking me to lock you up for sexual assault." (Guild Master)
"But why the hell were the healers you flirted with all males?" (Guild Master)
She whispered the last part while supporting her head with her hands. Her whole body was shaking, a clear indicator that she wanted to fireball something.
"In my defense... I was unsupervised."
"You're f**king over 50 years old at this point and you still need someone to look after you?" (Guild Master)
"Damn, I'm already over 50 years old, I didn't even remember, I suppose I am getting old."
I try to hold back my smile as I dodged the fireball. Fireballs actually, she followed up with another 20.
"Are you sure about this, at this rate, we're gonna need a new guild hall."
"If I can hit you even once it'll be worth it." (Guild Master)
Right now the guild hall was filled with fireballs, I forgot how many she could make at once.
"AHHHHHHH" I know that voice. Shit, the pretty receptionist almost got hit
"Alright let's sit down now and talk about this." I pleaded.
She looked once at me, then at the male receptionist who almost got singed.
Another 50 fireballs appeared.
"How about this I'll go and safely escort all our parties at Falharmus back here?"
Now she stopped. However, it was only for a moment.
"If I recall correctly, the Gold Rank Party Redhorn Hammershell is made up of exclusively handsome males correct?" (Guild Master)
Whatever her expression was right now, I had no idea. I started running the second I saw another 300 fireballs appear around me.
"Don't be so unreasonable! Fine I accept your request alright. ARRGH! Stop throwing more fireballs!!"
The fireballs didn't stop coming.
"I DON'T CARE!! I'M HAVING FRIED BEASTMAN TODAY!! GET BACK HERE! YOUR GOING TO BE TODAY'S MAIN COURSE!! (Guild Master)
Dammit, what an unreasonable woman.

Throughout the Ages
A new virtual reality game has just been released, different to any that have come before it. Throughout the Ages sees the players guiding a small community from the the stone age onwards, acting as benevolent gods that inspire and bless their charges. The peoples of Lorinas are not mere abstractions, though, but complex AI with their own thoughts and motives, living in a rich and dangerous fantasy world! Follow the tale of John, the uninteresting author self-insert character, and his sexy AI handmaiden Jade, as they pursue success in a game where their decisions can mean life or death! This story is supposed to be a dungeon lord like story in a VR multiplayer setting, I hope people who read it enjoy it. Partially ghostwritten by the incredibly handsome and clever Sniggyfigbat, and edited by the occasionally competent Dosahder.(Warning: this synopsis might not be entirely objective) (Upload schedule is highly irregular due to having to match three different plannings) more tags might be added in the future.Also it is my first story so please point out spelling and grammar mistakes.
8 109The Core And The Wardens of Eternity
What is the Core, they asked me... It's the light that pushes the darkness away, a bastion of justice, a safe keeper of life. It grooms love and tolerance, embraces science, fights ignorance, sentences it to die a slow and tragic death. The Core... it's something that can't be destroyed for destroying it is to terminate the time and space itself. When the stuck-in-a-dark-age world of Zanria goes offline, the Core sends one of its experienced agents to find out what is going on and to try to reestablish a mysteriously severed connection. However, all his training and experience might come way short as the world sinks in war and chaos with different races and clans fighting for the Star of Bardan, the ward rumored to possess enough supernatural power to create and destroy entire worlds. *** I just changed the name of the series, from 'the Nexus' to 'the Core'. Somehow it just sounds more right to me. This is the first story, and it has a medieval fantasy setting. But, eventually, this is going to turn into Isekai series with elements of LitRPG. So, my future books might include worlds with advanced technologies that might be more in SciFi, including Steampunk, genre. The first book might start slow, but after a few chapters, it should all be properly set up, and by then you should get the feel of how it will all flow. Also, I plan to introduce different story threats that should spread out and criss-cross in the future. Hopefully, I will not complicate it too much, and that it will all read good. I am planning to continue to add chapters to the main storyline here, but I'm also starting a new story threat in the Core series called The Recordings of Raan. There is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.
8 119[Don't] Fear the Dragon!
Do yourself a favour and, if the chance to become a dragon in a different world ever arrives, reject it as kindly as possible. As for myself? I didn't have much say in the matter. I've wanted one thing, and one thing alone in this life—to be left alone. But these humans are beyond stereotypical. None of the other dragons let them in on the secret that we only hoard treasure in order to bait the fools. Or how it's a common belief that we eat humans for breakfast. Seriously! Not even a village would substitute as a snack. How do they think people taste anyway? Gross! But it doesn't matter if you hide away in your cave, doing nothing. Some hero is bound to find and attempt to slay you anyways. Or weird cultists offering sacrifices at your door. But there was this princess that asked me to kidnap her one time. Now that was an interesting one... [Updated daily at 11 PM | EST!]
8 235Galal: Horde Master
Mankind. Conquerors, builders, criminals and craftsmen. Tamers of beasts. Arrogant, they attempt upraise a beast, to create a machine of war. A beast born of blood and of violence, mankind will do its utmost to tame it as it resists their shackles and seeks the freedom it craves.
8 329Star Wars: Lost Hope
Failure. The REBEL ALLIANCE is on the verge of defeat. Following a daring mission to the Imperial research facility on Scarif, ROGUE ONE managed to capture the plans to the EMPIRE's new and powerful superweapon: the DEATH STAR. Putting the lives of the entire galaxy on the line, BAIL ORGANA entrusted the delivery of those plans to his daughter, Princess LEIA ORGANA. However, the EMPEROR's apprentice, DARTH VADER, tracked the Princess and her ship, apprehending the rebels and confiscating the stolen plans aboard the TANTIVE IV. With the plans and the Princess in his possession, Darth Vader returned to the Death Star to destroy the Alliance's HOPE once and for all. The fate of the galaxy and the balance of the FORCE are irrevocably changed as the Princess of Alderaan learns the true nature of the DARK SIDE.... (This story is a complete reworking of the entire Original Trilogy. I'm going to be borrowing material from both canon and legends because of it, but everything prior to A New Hope, including Rogue One and the Clone Wars, is all taken as true. This will be the first book in a trilogy I'm hoping to make, so stay tuned or leave some comments if you have any ideas on how I can improve!)
