004

A man is seen sitting while stroking his chin, feeling the growing hair there.

Yes this man is John our protagonist. He suddenly stood up.

"Okay system I've decided that I will be choosing Active starter pack."

[Is it the Host' final decision?]

"Yes."

[Acknowledged. Initiating Active starter pack. Advising host to go at the Guild's entrance to wait for the new employees that the system will summon. The system will summon; 2 person for the counter/registry, 2 for the butcher/dismantling shop, 1 for the sickbay, 1 for the general store, 2 for the blacksmith shop and 2 for the cafeteria]

"Wow even though it's just for a skeleton crew its 10 people already."

[Yes. All of them are required for a successful adventurer; counter for getting the jobs, butcher/dismantler for the animal/monster parts worth the money, infirmary to maintain health, general store for supplies, blacksmith for equipment and the last but not the least, you can't go work effectively when you're hungry hence the cafeteria. Well snickers ad got it right. "You're not you when you're hungry."]

While walking towards the entrance and listening to the system he saw something similar to printing something using 3d printer. After waiting for a few minutes the "printing" to be done. There stood a group of people standing in front of him whispering to each other.

*bounce bounce*

Then suddenly a beautiful, tall, lean, pale, silver haired dreadlocks lady with a noticeable breast walk ahead of the group and bowed suddenly to John.

"Hello Guild leader my name Nadya Tilibom my post is at -" Before she could finish what she was saying John cut her off.

"Let me make a guess … you will work at the counter?" Nadya could be seen squinting her eyes, she then cross her arms beneath her chest emphasizing it more, she then displayed a smile that can make you feel being suffocated while not laying a finger on you.

"Guild Master you're wrong, I will be working at the infirmary and Guild Master don't you know that it's rude to interrupt someone while they're talking?" Nadya replied again while making sure that the last part of her sentence is as sincere as possible while still doing her deadly smile.

John felt a tingling sensation when she heard her very sincere reminder. He replied a smile back at her, a smile that could be seen hiding this new found fear his well-being then nodded.

"Speaking of the counter" A lean, black hair which is combed neatly backwards, tan skinned with a stoic face walked forward and stood still next to Nadya (he's shorter by a few inches), he fixed the position of the glasses he's wearing then nodded towards John. "That will be my job and my name is Brandon Blackheart. It will be me who's going to filter the client request', give the job to the appropriate person and make sure the job is completed before handing out the rewards or payments." He then stepped back and look behind to nod at someone in the group.

"I-i-i-i-i-i I w-w-w-will a-a-also be working wit him a-a-at the c-c-counter Kild Mashter!" A petite, pale looking young, girl with black twintails stepped up while shouting and stuttering good amount of sentence and fumbling a few words in between. Clearly she's nervous and tried to make a good 1st impression but failed miserably yet she still continued with renewed vigor and positivity. "My name is Stella Blackheart I'm the younger sister of Brandon Guild Master." She then bowed a perfect 90 degree angle at John. After that she went behind Brandon and muttered to herself. "I made a fool of myself in front of the Guild Master he must be thinking I'm not for the job." Her green eyes could be seen being misty.

"No, you did a great job all things included. It means there's a lot you have to improve on so you have to work harder okay?" Hearing his younger sister's mumblings Brandon bent down and whispered to her sister's ears. Seeing this Nadya couldn't help but show a face of disgust with the sweetness of the said siblings.

John noticing Nadya's apparent disgust at the scene. "Yeah pretty sure that guy is a siscon." Thought to himself.

Next came up a set of twin women, twin muscular women. They have the same height, same tan skin, exact facial features. There are two distinguishing features the sisters have, the right one have a black hair that is tied neatly into a pony tail and she have eyes that is completely white. The left one have a white hair that reaches up to her shoulders and this woman have eyes completely black.

They then both bowed at the same time the left one then introduced herself; "Hello Guild Master my name is Omega and I will be working in the blacksmith." She then bowed and stepped back.

While remaining still in her place the right one introduced herself; "Hello Guild Master my name is Alpha and I will be working in the blacksmith." She then bowed and stepped back right beside Omega.

Now that the half of the group has introduced themselves the remaining five walked forward one after another and made their introduction one by one.

"Hello my nickname is Double M or MM. I'll be the one in charge of the general store and I will make sure to squeeze every bit of money our customers would, could and should have. My real name is MoneyMaker." The 1st person in the 2nd group is a tall middle aged man with pony tail and moustache, somehow the redness of his hairs makes him look like a very aggressive man while he is mostly easy going type of a person.

Next in the group who introduce themselves is from the cafeteria.

"Heyo! My name is Tabiatha Damagan. I'm the one who will be in charge of food around here." A chubby lady introduce herself while laughing. She has a beautiful face, a short blonde hair, muscular arms and a hearty laugh. "Just bring me ingredients and I will prepare you food to die for! Not literally but you know possibly because it will be that good! Hahahaha!��

"Hmmmm…" While listening to her introduction John can't help but think that IF Tabiatha looked after her figure she would be possibly even better looking than Nadya.

"Oh! This man here." Tabiatha then patted the man beside her. The said man could be seen wincing from the pain those pat has induced to him. "This handsome man is my better half. Go on darling introduce yourself to the Guild Master." He then stepped up, bowed then introduce himself. "My name is Anton Makisig and I will be working alongside Tabiatha in the kitchen. To be precise I will do the serving of the prepared food and I will also do the cleaning all around the kitchen." Anton has a sickly looking pale face, he has average looks skinny body but tall stature, taller than MM.

"Okay, thanks for the introduction Tabiatha and Anton. Now I'm pretty sure the last two will be for the butcher and/or dismantler shop." John then looked at the last pair that has yet to introduce themselves.

"Tsk. How very perceptive of you Guild Master." Nadya then mumbled a sarcastic remark. Brandon then just look at her menacingly, Nadya then smiled sincerely at Brandon. "Hush now. Be respectful towards the Guild Master."

"Yes just as you have said, we are from the butcher/dismantler department. We will handle the carcass or body of the hunted specimens that will be brought to us, we will of course make sure that no part is wasted as much as possible." A teenage boy then made a perfunctory bow at John then introduce himself, he has a muscular body and rugged looking face with a green buzz cut for a hair but somehow he's wearing something similar to a tuxedo which makes him look like attending a ball or something. "My name is Junathan at your service." He then made a 'Go on' gesture at the person next to him.

"I will be working with Jun at the butcher. I like skinning, dicing and most of all stabbing stuff with pointy things." A young, short blue haired lady with red pupils then made her introduction energetically. She then raised her hands multiple times. "O-o-o-ohhhh! And bring me all kind of creatures so I could sta- ehem err study them, yeah study them that's what I meant." Seeing this Jun could not help but sigh and made a light chop her on head. "Ouch! It hurts! Whad'ya do that for?" She then held her head and looked at Jun. "You have yet to introduce yourself." Jun stared back at her. "Oh yeah! I've yet to do it aren't I? Heya boss man my name is Jinnyfer but just call me Jinny for short." She then walk up to John and shook his hands, walk back to where she was before and smiled to Jun. Jun then smiled apologetically to John.

John couldn't help but smile seeing this. "Now that you have introduce yourselves I will have to do mine. My name is John, just call me J for short and nice to meet you all. Now that we're acquainted to each other and we know each other's job and place in the guild. I will have to ask Tabiatha to prepare a feast for us tonight so we could celebrate"

The group then cheered by his announcement. "For those of you who have nothing else to do feel free to check your workplaces or go to the 2nd floor to choose your own rooms. I'll just have Anton call us over if the feast is ready. That's all for now." After his introduction and announcement John then went back outside. He noticed that it's already afternoon. 'I've been thinking of what to do that the morning already pass'. He went to the edge of clearing and checked grass and trees if there's similarity to the ones he knew. Very little comparison that is all he could surmise between the flora here to ones he knew.

*Rustle Rustle*

Hearing the noise just ahead of him, he crouched and walk slowly as to not disturb whatever is it that made the sound. While walking cautiously he heightened his senses further to hear, see, smell or get any additional information from the surroundings. He found out that it's most likely alone. Ahead of him is bushes as tall as him and right behind it will origin of the sound. He crawled under the bushes and saw that it was a bipedal creature that was eating the shrubberies ahead of him. It has short antler on its forehead with a face similar to a deer, the body has green spots on it with brown skin base, and its long tail that could reach the ground could be seen swinging from left to right signifying its happiness.

'Looks like a deer but somehow it's a bipedal version, approximated height is 1.2 meters, should be a herbivore but now that I have a second look at its teeth, it may suggest otherwise.' As he was profiling the said creature noticed that it has fangs similar to carnivorous predators.

Further ahead of him and the bipedal deer, another creature lurks to hunt the said deer.
