A Base

A few hours earlier while Jack was heading towards the city and Jason was busy getting preparations ready for the assault on the goblin nest. Perseus instead of eating breakfast with the rest of the guild was somewhere else.

It was early morning, and Perseus couldn't help but let out a small yawn as he looked up at the large mansion in front of him. It was formerly a slave merchant's mansion, but after Perseus "dealt" with him, most of his resources had fallen into the silver wing guild and his hands.

The mansion was more grand compared to the silver wings main hall. With dark green roofs and light tan walls. But honestly, Perseus preferred the life and activity in the silver wings guild. The slave merchants' mansion used to have a small wall surrounding it, but it had been torn down, and the entire mansion had been renovated mostly with an investment of some of the income the silver wings guild made but mostly thanks to the person standing next to Perseus.

Perseus turned his head to look at the bald man standing in heavy amour. He had changed a lot from the last time his master had picked him off randomly from the crowd and dragged him over to the abandoned mine dungeon.

Now Rocky stood a changed person, so many things had happened in the past few months for him and it had all started with a single chance encounter with Jason. Ever since Jason Perseus and Rocky had finished the first dungeon, his life had been changed, it had instantly catapulted him into the forefront of players making him one of the strongest tanks in the city.

With the newfound weapons and strength given by Jason, Rocky was able to gain lots of coins and currency in-game, which was having a steady real-world currency exchange rate, this allowed Rocky to support his family, allowing his one struggling family to rise up and live comfortably. His mother no longer needed to spend long nights working, and his siblings never had to go hungry. All of this was because of the mysterious person who had come up to him.

And now here Rocky stood looking at the large mansion with a satisfied look on his face.

After a few weeks of renovations, it had been remodeled into a hub, a silver wings player hub where people could come and go, exchange tips and secrets, meet new people, and perhaps gather for a guild-wide goal.

The lush gardens and fountains around the mansion had been torn down, and instead rough training courses with straw targets littered around the place, in replacement for the walls around the mansion, stalls were built, perfect for selling any brand new materials, potions, or weapons the guild got their hands on. Those stalls were open to the general public which would make the mansion a large central gathering for players all around the region. Perseus was also planning to rent out some of the stalls for merchant players and NPCs to give the place more variety in goods both for the guild members and the public.

The inside of the mansion had been completely renovated instead of the white pearly walls and the long empty corridors, guest rooms, smaller meeting halls, armories, and storage units replaced them. Of course, Rocky left parts of the mansion intact for future expansions and had kept as much of the original luxury of the mansion as possible while transforming the mansion into a guild hub.

The mansion also had a central hall, just like the original base. It was much smaller, but it had wooden tables and benches along with a quest board.

The only thing that really was left, was the huge emblem that was waiting to be revealed. A small crowd had already gathered curious as to what type of building was created. More than half of them were players, curious as to which great NPC company was creating another shop or base. Many people had seen workers rushing over to this very location, in fact, some of them had even been given tasks to find enough building materials for this very project.

Rocky looked up at the white cloth which covered the last piece of the silver wings hub. It towered high above the entrance with the wind slowly blowing the hanging bits of the cloth back and forth.

Rocky took a deep breath looking around at the huge crowd that seemed to wait for the big reveal. This was it, the project he was assigned to, being revealed for the first time. He could only hope that people would receive it well and that he wouldn't be the cause of shame for the silver wings guild.

It was early morning, with the soft sea breeze passing through the city. Rocky turned to Perseus and gave a small nod.

Perseus grinned and leaped into the air. His blond hair shining in the morning sun and his sword Arondight glistening in majesty as he unsheathed it midair.

The crowd underneath Perseus gave a loud gasp as they watched the golden-haired swordsman fly into the sky.

Perseus's sword glowed with soft golden light, like the color of a bright lamp, while the necklace hanging off his neck let out a sharp silver color. With a simple swing, Perseus unleashed a golden arc of energy that flew straight towards the entrance of the silver wings hub.

A few people in the crowd let out yelps thinking that it was an attack on the new building. Players stepped up, hopeful about a sudden encounter quest.

But everyone paused when the golden arc flew towards the entrance, and upon contact, burst into a cascade of golden sparks which slowly floated up making the entire hub look like it was blessed by a sort of heavenly being.

The golden sparks caught the white cloth which covered the emblem, blowing it up high up into the air. Revealing the intricately carved wings which beamed with silver light. The silver wings emblem, the one that the world would soon know by heart.

The crowd stood in stunned silence as the heavenly scene unfolded before their eyes, as their eyes turned to the golden-haired swordsman, who slowly descended from the sky his white and gold cloak unfurling in the wind. His sword giving off an ancient and powerful feel.

With a light tap, Perseus landed on the ground, he turned to face the crowd. With a grin on his face, he addressed the crowd

"as of today, the silver wings guild is open for recruitment!"

The moment Perseus declared that this sky blue light seemed to light up the entire silver wings hub. It slowly rose descending up into the skies.

Perseus smiled at the progress he had made, and he looked at Rocky who was almost in tears looking at the guild hub, the thing he had put so much time and effort into being praised and looked at with awe.

Perseus gave Rocky a small wave and Rocky reciprocated with a huge hug. Perseus grinned at Rocky

"good look taking care of this place Rocky"

"ill protect it with my life Perseus"

"heh, yeah I can see that"

And so Perseus left to go to a meeting that would determine the future of the underworld of the city as Rocky rushed over to the silver wings hub where dozens of players were already lining up ready to try and see if they could make it into the famed silver wings guild.

Thankfully he wasn't alone, lots of NPCs that Perseus had hired from receptionists to cooks were waiting in the silver wings hub. Ready to help make the silver wings hub one of the most central places in the entire city.
