Nem woke up submerged in water. He didn’t know where he was or what he was doing there. The last thing he remembered was getting pummeled into the ground head-first; then, darkness. The first thought to go through Nem’s head was, “Oh, I must’ve died.” A short silence followed when Nem was contemplating how he had died. He had believed that he won the battle and lowered his guard; however, when he did so, Gurion blasted him with a skill combo.

As Nem silently scolded himself for getting cocky, his body started to automatically float upwards, towards the surface of the water. Both his virtual and real eyes closed from the brightness of the surface. When Nem opened his eyes, he found himself to be back in Tomer’s Village. His body was gently floating in the well as he realized that he was in the well that the frog had leapt into earlier.

Suddenly, a voice cried out from the distance. “Heeeey! Nem! Stop floating around and come here.” Nem followed the unfamiliar voice to its owner. The owner of the voice had blonde hair and a dolled up face that made her look like a porcelain doll. Her dolled up face and slim body made many men fall for her at first sight.

As Nem started swimming towards her, he started to wonder what this pretty woman wanted with him. Once he reached the shore, he heard a soft laugh that seemed to have come from the heavens themselves. “Haven’t you swam enough? Hurry on out so I can talk to you.”

Nem lifted himself out of the well and onto the stone platform. He extended an awkward hand out to her in hopes of a greeting and the mysterious woman softly chuckled and accepted his greetings. “I know you’re hoping to get back to the coliseum to see if you can still get recruited, but hear me out for a second.” With that, she took a small step back and slightly tilted her head as her mouth formed a curve wide enough to fit a beaver’s dam. “What about joining my guild?”

Nem was taken aback as he looked at her with a funny look. She didn’t have an appearance of a high level player, and although she was beautiful, that was the only thing she could currently offer him. The woman was fairly intelligent and could see the reason behind Nem’s hesitation. “Alright, I’ll give it to you straight. None of the other guilds want to recruit you. Your a whole new class, an unknown, and from your loss earlier, no one wants to take a chance on you.”

Nem shifted in pace a little as he awkwardly chuckled. This was the outcome he was expecting but being told so bluntly made him a little embarrassed. As Nem scratched his face with a finger, the woman continued on. “My guild may not be so big, but we’re not a completely small guild either. We don’t have many members or a big guild hall, but we are strong enough to contest with a middle tier guild.” She winked and added, “Plus, if you join I’ll also give you a little… bonus.”

Although she did have a point, the situation seemed a little fishy to Nem. After all, after his mistake earlier, why would someone be so adamant about recruiting him? He also started to blush a little when Nem thought about how she mentioned a certain bonus. Although he didn’t know what kind of bonus, he made could easily make a few guesses.(Insert Lenny face)

“Umm, if I’m so deep in the dirt, then why are you trying so hard to recruit me?”

The woman smile and said, “You really want to know why?” Nem nodded. The woman leaned in closer to him, close enough to where he could feel her breath and she whispered in his ear, “I saw your moves earlier. You're not a noob, are you? If I had to guess, I’d say you’re a smurf.”(Smurf-extra account usually made by higher level players to revisit lower levels or just for the fun of it)
