《Moonlit sky》Chapter 26 - Flint and diamond

"Here is the list you wanted, i wrote down some of their special skills or talents they may have that might prove useful." Said Ishida as he passed down piece of paper to Tenebris.
"Good job, is that blonde guy on this list?"
"He is, why is there a problem with that?"
"No problems, he has a fighting spirit, he just misdirected it, if he directs it right he will be quite useful."
"Is that how you see all people? Useful or not?"
"Yes."
"But why, don't you want to trust someone, don't you need someone you can trust?"
"If i see you as tools instead of people you will never be able to harm me, the moment i start seeing you as persons i will be vulnerable, and i won't allow that to happen. Just remember one thing, betraying me is a death sentence."
"I figured that much out, you shouldn't have problems with my group, as long as you keep most of them safe and not starving they won't betray you."
"I will be the judge of that, i need 3 cooks, 4 guards and a clerk, congratulations you got promoted to a clerk, you can pick rest of your group for other positions, and tell them that if they prove useful they will be promoted to second star, that will provide them with more contribution points, you will write down their contributions and i will personally rate them, that is until i have created suitable enough contribution point system."
"I could help you with that." Spoke Lulu who suddenly appeared on Tenebrises shoulder.
"What is that?" Asked shocked Ishida.
"I am not "that" young boy, my name is Lulu and i'm this dumb morons game guide."
"A game guide?"
"Yes, and quite an annoying one. Now tell me how can you help me with this?" Spoke Tenebris.

"It's actually quite simple, after clearing this game you will notice that even society has changed outside, most if not all towns outside this dungeon are probably razed, but there are other options, for example guilds. I could copy guild contribution system and make you guys something like temporary guild, which shouldn't be possible without guild creation token and paperworks at novice village, but if its temporary i could probably make it possible, you just need to input what actions are considered as contributions and how many points each contribution gets, but that would be all, no other guild function would be possible for now, at least without guild creation token." Explained Lulu.
"I see, so there are things like guild creation token in this game." Mumbled Ishida.
"Not only that, there are even village, city, kingdom, empire or even more creation tokens, but they are limited in numbers, i think there is only about 1000 guild creation tokens all around the world."
"That is quite few, considering there are around 7 billion people on planet that would make every guild at least a million humans worth." Said Tenebris.
"Yes, that would be true if you only considered guilds and human population." Spoke Lulu with a smirk on her face.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Tenebris.
"Well first of all, guilds aren't only social groups available, and humans aren't only rational creatures on this planet."
"Yes, i forgot about that, there are other races now as well." Said Tenebris.
"Other races, what do you mean?" Asked confused Ishida.
"Well there are Elves, Dwarfs and Demons now too." Answered Tenebris.
"And how do you know that?"
"It's a secret. Anyway, i will work out contribution system with Lulu later, you just need to write down their contributions and i will rate it later, here is the list of contributing actions that are being awarded with points, there is also a list of actions that will deduct points but i haven't finished it yet, i will give it to you once i finish it."

"I see, if that's all i will take my leave now, we will clear out the room across yours, by the way what do you plan to do with all those bat corpses anyway?"
"Ohh right i almost forgot about them, well i have plan for them, we will use them later, i just hope they won't rot or disappear."
"They are system creatures now, they won't rot, but they will disappear if left untouched for more than 2 days."
"Okay, move them to the third room then, we will be using those corpses tomorrow morning, that's all you can leave now, i have work to do."
"Alright, tell me if there is anything else you need."
After a little more than an hour Tenebris left 4th basement room and entered next door where Ishida was with his group.
"Okay, contribution system is active, all of you should have already got notification now that you are part of temporary guild group. From now on your every action is rated automatically, daily work for 4 hours gives you 1 contribution point, 8 hours gives you 2 contribution points and 12 hours gives you 4 contribution points, every higher ranked monster than a regular monster will give you 5 points per its rank, starting from white rank semi-boss, slaying it alone will give you ten times normal amount of points. Now that i explained that have you already finished distribution of work?"
"We did, you have 3 girls that will cook and 4 guys that will work as guards." Answered Ishida.
"Good, 3rd room where bat corpses are currently will be made into kitchen later on, once we get rid of bat corpses, guards will work in shifts, you can decide on your own how long your shift is and whose shift is when, i suggest you use smaller shifts with more switching because slacking on job will cost you a liimb, sleeping on guard duty is punishable by death, also i need one guard who will be responsible for whole guard duty. Ishida who would you recommend as guard captain."
"Marcus, step forward." Spoke Ishida while facing the guys.
"Ok, Marcus you are now responsible for the guard duty, you are now 2 stars guard, prove your worth and you might increase your rank. Now i will be leaving, if you have any questions point them to Ishida, he will later forward them to me and i will answer them in due time."
As he finished his sentence he left without a care for them or their questions. When he entered the first room he saw Diana meditating in the corner, Tomm was fiddling with some tools while Tanya and Demian where sitting on their mats talking.
"You two seem quite leisure with your time, don't you have anything smarter to do, look at blackie even if she is weak she at least tries to get stronger, while two of you are lazing around doing nothing." Berated coldly Tenebris.
"We recently finished our meditation, we also gained some runes, let me ask you how many runes you have?" Asked angrily Tanya.
"None, but before you start gloating i should remind you that there is a big gap in our levels, if i sit over night and meditate i will catch up in rune count, but will you catch up with my level over night?" Said Tenebris with a cold smile.
"N-no... But you are a freaking monster, how can you compare yourself with us?"
"I'm not comparing you with me, that would be like comparing a flint to a diamond, i'm comparing you to blackie, she is still meditating, you aren't. It's that simple, work hard and be useful, otherwise you can leave whenever you want."

Lesser Evil
In a perfect world, an alcoholic, hedonistic, mentally abusive individual like Audry Forge would never coincide with his attempts to stop the extinction of life. But there is no perfect world. There is no other person. Only the lesser of evils. Participant of the Royal Road Writathon challenge - 55k words Author's Note: This is story has been the easiest to write in my time of writing. I thoroughly enjoy it! You may not understand the premise in the first few chapters but need not worry buddy, I've been working ahead. Things will start rolling! I hope you enjoy it. Give me feedback and make sure to share it around! Other Info: Normally I wouldn't put any warnings but this story will be going down a pretty dark path (based on irl experiences) fairly early on. There will not be any overtly sexual content this early but some themes are suggestive. There is profanity. There are references to drugs and alcohol. There are dramatic relationships that I'm trying to base off of real life. There is more of a focus on characters. There will be unpleasant scenes in regards to death, while others will be brushed over. There will also be a fair amount of pop culture references too! Give it a try. You might like my form of storytelling!

Sitting Under a Torn Umbrella
Man is for man - this is an old slogan today. It has lost its uniqueness for the cause of self-centred mentality. Now we cannot hear the chorus songs of unity. Rather the sound of cacophony always do disturb our hearing organ by imposing acute disparity. We don't fly the flag of harmony, uncompromising corrupted selfish hands try to disconnect the rope of the flying flag to take undue advantage. Human being lacks of humane quality. Strangulation of faith is seen here and there. We are losing hope day by day. The act of deflowering is an art. The dignity of woman is mercilessly crushing under the wheel of gender inequality. Filial piety sinks into the ocean of disbelief. Every moment we do feel pangs of neglect sitting under a torn umbrella.
