━━━━━━━━━━━━❮◆❯━━━━━━━━━━━━
'Titles, huh.' Getting a title was not easy. Usually, you need to have certain qualities or complete specific quests.
Aizen looked at the city streets and noticed that it was much busier. Looks like several players decided to come here.
'Well, let's buy some supplies.' He decided to make some magic items. The game was getting a lot of players, so this was a good time to sell items. After that, he would explore other cities.
-
Aizen didn't take long to make the items, just a few hours. He made many R and I Rating items to sell. He was unable to make SR Rank items because he was low on coins, creating magic items was very expensive, Aizen could only produce that amount because his success rate is very high.
'What a pity.'
If players saw Aizen complaining about being broke with various treasures in hand, they would go crazy.
'Let's go to another city-'
*Bling!*
Aizen looked at his message box. Upon seeing a message from a certain person, he sighed.
'I almost forgot about it.'
He wanted to explore other cities in search of new adventures, but he would have to do something before that.
-
"Are you sure he'll come?" A middle-aged man asked Amarys. This man was one of the Hunters, his name is Manzai. He was a serious man and a little irritating at times.
Ryo doesn't like this guy, because his personality is very problematic.
"He will come." Amarys replied.
*bell!*
A bell rang as the door opened.
Aizen entered the bar. He watched the group of 4 people occupying the table. A woman drinking beer. A serious man who didn't seem to have a facial expression. A young girl who looks the same age as him, and a boy with glasses who looked nervous now.

Aizen approached the table and sat down in an empty seat, he faced Amarys. Ryo and Alura stayed behind Amarys. Manzai leaned against the wall.
"I'm glad you came." Amarys was surprised when Aizen accepted her invitation. She knew that Aizen received many guild invitations a day, but he ended up accepting hers.
"Well, thanks for the invitation." Aizen replied.
'He doesn't look so bad.' She expected Aizen to be more arrogant, but she was wrong. She felt that she was in the presence of a prince, or something, but without an authoritative aura. Aizen's appearance was also unique. Talking to someone like that made her a little uneasy.
Well, Aizen follows a basic principle: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. He also didn't like to act arrogantly for no reason at all, he's not like that.
"May I know why you accepted my invitation?" Amarys was curious about this.
"Well, I was curious. The Hunters were once considered to be one of the most powerful guilds that ever lived, I wonder what happened to you guys to fall so low."
Aizen didn't know much about the Hunters' history, but he knew they were one of the greatest guilds; fame and glory were such that even the great guilds could not compare. That was tens of years ago, even before Aizen was born.
Manzai got angry when he overheard Aizen saying about his guild having fallen so far. He knew it was true, but hearing it was painful.
*Sigh!*
"Greed." Amarys replied.
"They thought they were invincible, but in the end, they fell. Just like any other guild."
Guilds are like that. They grow, but they can also fall.
Due to an internal conflict, the Hunters began to have problems, conflicts got worse over the years, the guild was getting weaker, in the end, other guilds joined and ended up destroying everything. The Hunters were virtually dissolved, leaving only a few members. Among them was Amarys.
"I called you here because I want to offer you a deal." Amarys wore a serious expression. The decision Aizen would make today could change the course of the Hunters. She would need to be careful.
"Say it."

"I want you to provide us with resources." Amarys said.
The number of resources Aizen could produce left any guild drooling. In addition to having massive Fame and Honor points, he was the only player currently who could create SR ranked items, and these items were magic items. After this was revealed, Aizen started receiving guild invitations non-stop.
Large guilds can produce more items than Aizen, but their quality doesn't even come close to Aizen's items.
Most blacksmiths could only make the Rank I items. Some talented ones could make Rank R items, but that after many attempts.
"This is simple, we can-"
"We are out of money." Amarys interrupted Aizen.
"..." He looked at Amarys, not understanding where this woman was going.
"I want you to provide us with resources gradually. In return, we can trade guild shares and future plots of land." Amarys started his negotiation.
"Are you kidding?..." Aizen thought this woman was making fun of his face
"Do you want me to stake my resources on something uncertain? How are you going to acquire a lot of lands? As far as I know, the big guilds are crazy about it. Moreover, your guild's actions aren't worth much now."
The dispute for resources is getting more intense among the guilds, especially now. Guilds are already trying to acquire the Token, and after that things will get even more hectic.
"You…" Manzai started to get angry. How could he let someone despise his guild like that? Didn't they have the ability to beat the other guilds?
"What I'm trying to say is that, as a merchant, I need to put my business as a priority. Your proposal is not good as I can just contact another guild and they will offer me a better price. "
'That's why I don't like merchants.' Ryo thought. Merchants are such difficult people to talk to.
*Sigh!*
Amarys let out a sigh. She knew things wouldn't be so easy.
If her goal was just to become an intermediary guild, she wouldn't call Aizen here.
Small guilds can become big guilds, so why is raising Hunters so difficult? Well, the Hunter's name was already tarnished.
The scandals that took place at the time were disastrous for the guild. The old leaders made bad decisions.
The guild's downfall also left scars. Amarys goal is to bring his guild to the top again. Regain your glory and power.
That's the legacy she carries.
...
"40% of the shares and power of a vice-leader."
When Amarys uttered these words, everyone was silent for a moment.
*BAM!*
"Are you crazy, Amarys?!" Manzai slammed his fist on the table.
"Leader...this proposal is too risky! We can get back on our own." Ryo also tried to intervene.
Amarys' proposal was simply crazy. She was handing over the power of a deputy guild leader to Aizen, this also included the power of command, power of choice, etc. That is, Aizen would become the second most authoritative person at Guida.
"Silence!!" Amarys yelled. Ryo and Manzai were quiet. Alura was apprehensive at the moment.
'i wonder if I'm banging my head against a brick'
Amarys knew his decision was precipitate. However, she was tired of trying the safest methods possible and getting no results. With every game released she tried again, but it never worked. In the Arcane Universe, she didn't want to fail. That game would be the future. She also loves this game very much, the experiences here were fantastic.
"..." Aizen was also surprised by Amarys decision.
He would not join any guilds as he preferred to play solo, however, Amarys was granting him vice-leader guild power without being an official guild member. This was just crazy.
"You will gradually provide resources, as well as help the guild to grow in other ways. I know you are very powerful, maybe you can find good opportunities. Do you agree?" This was Amarys' last move.
*Sigh!*
"You convinced me." Aizen agreed. He knew the potential guild members had. He was just playing hard to get. Which merchant doesn't want more profit?
The system created a contract with the following terms:
Aizen will help the Hunters guild to be a great guild in exchange for 40% of its shares, and a rank of vice leader, being an unofficial member.
Of course, Aizen is still a solo player.

Dreamer/Leveler
Zachary Trenner is a freshman at Burlington High School. Despite his mundane appearance and advanced course curriculum, something strange is happening to him. Every time he goes to sleep he switches worlds. Portals are popping up everywhere, allowing access between Earth and the world of Vera. Now he must spend every waking and sleeping moment getting stronger to fight off the [Instance Dungeons] opening on both Vera, and Earth. Prepare for an RPG fiction full of magic, action, a touch of romance, and the author's own dry humor. When the modern technology of Earth meets the medieval magic of Vera, which culture will invade the other world first? When the army rangers of the United States collide with the members of the Hunter's Guild, who will win? Updates on Wednesdays/Thursdays Cover is my own creation. Tips to reading: This is my first book, so cliches and tropes are used as the base and then expanded upon. My intention is to make it a casual read but deep if you decide to look closer. I'm not a people person, so my focus and purpose for writing this is to explore the world building and magic system, not necessarily the characters. There won't be a villian until the postgame ;) Author's philosophy: I took an professional personality inventory (through a community college back in 2018) and was categorized as a "double-checker." I'm never satisfied with the work that I complete, and never want to share it with anyone. But this book is a challenge to myself! As a rule of thumb, I will only add to the story. I can't remove elements I've already included (unless absolutely, absolutely necessary). PS, I'm a native English speaker.
