Now the Apprentice

I woke up with a start and looked around me.

Danglebells! I'm still here!

Seriously, this is like heaven for me! This is so awesome!

Wait, now that I think about it... if this is something similar to those isekai novels and manhwa and its inside a game like WoG, then could it have a game system as well? Danglebells! That would be way better!

I should be able to summon a window for my stats or something, right?

Hmmm...

"Stat!"

Nothing happened.

"Windows! Appear! Open! Status! Open Sesame!"

Still nothing.

"Tch!"

So, it's not like that. Well, if it is, then I should have gotten some sort of notification yesterday, right? Too bad.

I slumped back to my bed and just stared at the ceiling. A smile started forming on my lipsagain.

 Well, it doesn't really matter. Who cares if I got reincarnated or transmigrated or whatever. The important thing is I'm here, and it's real, inside World of Genus, not to mention with the people I actually knew. 

Well, not that I'm particularly close with any of my guildmates except Nero. But based on what happened yesterday, I should get by with the knowledge I had when it was just a game. I should be fine as long as I lookout for any variables. Like Nero and Jeila... that's definitely new. And also about Teiran...

Well, whatever. I did think that Nero and Jeila were a good match, I mean I used to silently cheer for them before when everyone started teasing them. And it's not that bad getting pampered and having a big brother like Teiran. Except for the 'overprotective brother' part, his personality is consistent with the original, too.

Right. I'm sure everything's going to be fine. This is my chance to live a life that I've always wanted and dreamed of.

I can't wait to hunt monsters, run dungeons and do quests. And since I just changed to my 5th job class, more maps should be available for me now.

I'm going to take my time visiting all the cities and villages in WoG. Elves, dwarves, orcs... not to mention the Cat kins. And the delicacies too! Definitely the best part. I can't wait to see everything!

*knock* *knock*

"Ms. Avyzhia, are you awake? It's me Rheal."

Rheal? Who's that again? I don't think we have a guild member with that name. No wait, didn't Teiran say something about someone bringing me clothes this morning?

"Y-Yeah, I'm awake. Just give me a sec."

I hurriedly got off the bed to open the door. My eyes widened when I saw the person on the other side.

"Good morning, Ms. Avyzhia. I've brought some change of clothes as master instructed."

Rheal turned out to be one of the OG Teiran's familiars. Well, not exactly like the familiar wizards have, but a super rare gacha item he won from an event that increases attack range by 30%. 

Everyone made a fuss about it back then since he's the only one we knew who had it. This Rheal, however, isn't a semi-transparent spirit that floats around him, but a real person. And she's super cute!

By 'master', does she mean Teiran? Is she Teiran's apprentice? He has an apprentice? Wow. Well, he is one of the best hunter-class members of Emblem, despite his attitude, he's really strong.

"Thank you, Rheal. Let me treat you to a meal sometime for your troubles." I grinned gratefully as I took the bundle from her.

"T-There's no need for that, miss. I'm just doing what master asked."

Aww. She sounded shy. Is she blushing? How cute.

"Of course, there is. And please just call me Avy, you don't need to be too formal with me. I'm not your master."

"I-I can't do that. You're my master's si- "

"'Avy'." I interrupted in a serious tone.

"...then... how about 'Ms. Avy'?" She asked softly.

I just smiled at her in agreement.

Since the 'Rheal' I used to know is just a gacha item I used to admire from afar, it'd be nice to get friendly with this one. It feels like having a little sister of some sort.

Which should be a good thing. After all, from what I remember, Emblem has very few female members, so I should get friendly with everyone.

"Master said he'll wait for you in the common room, so you should take your time."

"I see. Are you eating breakfast with us then?"

She shook her head no. "I'm going to handle some paperworks regarding the new guild so I'm going to be busy starting today."

"New guild?"

"Ah, you probably hadn't heard of it since you just came back. It was decided that Emblem will sponsor a sub guild for the less experienced members. And I was chosen as it's guild master."

"Whoah, that's awesome! Congratulations. Everyone must have a lot of trust in you to be given that position."

"Actually, nobody wants to do it so we had to draw lots and I got unlucky."

"'Unlucky', huh? Ha, ha."

"I used to really admire Emblem when I was still a novice. If only I knew then that it's just a group of selfish block heads, I wouldn't have worked so hard to reach my 3rd job class."

Now that I think about it. Nero and I didn't have a hard time getting into the guild since we were already veterans of sorts. But it's definitely hard for newbies to get in.

"Everyone's a monster inside and out…"

Rheal continued to grumble her discontent and I couldn't really say anything since I'm one of those selfish 'monsters' too.

"Ah! No! I mean… I didn't mean you, Ms. Avy…"

I just chuckled and patted her shoulder. "It's alright. I totally understand where you're coming from. Tell you what, if you need anything, just let me know. I don't have a lot of experience on guild wars, but I can at least solo certain boss monsters." I grinned confidently.

Rheal's face lit up at my words.

"Thank you, Ms. Avy. I will keep that in mind." She smiled gratefully. "Then if you don't need anything else, I will take my leave."

"Okay. Thanks again. And good luck! I'll definitely treat you to a meal when the new guild is established."

"I will look forward to it."

Daggers. Check.

Katars. Check.

Bow and arrows. Check.

I should bring some Shuriken, just in case. And 10 bottles of poison should be more than enough.

Sparring, huh? I don't really have much experience with PvP. I prefer hunting monsters. The times when I had no choice but to fight other players, I would just throw in AOE skills. I really couldn't be bothered. 

Hahhh~ Am I going to be alright?

Well, at least I can bring a lot of my equipment. Since I don't have the convenience of an Inventory, I have no choice but to carry everything myself. These clothes are so convenient, though. It's like it's specially made for me.

As expected of Rheal, she's so reliable. The sub-guild is definitely in good hands.

Teiran wasn't kidding when he said I don't really have anything in my closet, though. 

I looked around my room again and had to sigh in shame. Other than the basic furniture, there isn't really anything in it other than my gears and equipments. Not that I had anyone to blame. 

Who decorates their room with their weapons? Haahhh~ 

Sure, when I was playing on my computer, there was no need to spend on some set of fancy costumes and room decorations. But this has to change now. It won't hurt to own at least one dress or a Moonbeast stuffed toy or two. Adventurer or not, I'm still a lady. And I'm definitely going to need that dress someday.

I couldn't date in my previous life, but maybe this time I could get lucky. Heh!

In this second life in another universe, I'll make sure I'll be able to do everything I wasn't able to in my last.
