Chptr 25 Soaring Phoenix Guild

"I say, it took us a lot of stories to hook you up," Unknown teased at Once Jewel.

Forgotten guild members rolled their eyes and Drizzle Sizzle walked towards Once Jewel, "Welcome to the guild! Don't mind the leader, that's the way he is."

"I kinda like how he is," Once Jewel truthfully said.

As for Iron Bash, since he was already accepted to the guild, he sent them his story. He was a fat nerd who was always being ridiculed and bullied by his classmates. Sometimes, going to class made him so afraid that he would rather go to the net cafe and play there the whole day than to enter his class.

One time, during their class Christmas party, their teacher told them to have an exchange gift through draw lots. And one of his classmates was assigned to do the draw lots, since he was always alone, his classmate has forgotten to include his name in the draw lots. So during the event, he was the only one who went home without a gift.

There was also the time where his class went into an educational tour in another city. They all went there at the same time. But when the time came for them to go back, his classmates and their teacher had forgotten him who just excused himself to go to the comfort room. He looked for them everywhere with teary eyes as he wasn't familiar with the place. Thankfully, a kind old man asked him if he was lost and told the old man that he was left behind. The old man then told him to hop in his car as he was also going to his city.

That wasn't the end of it, he was also forgotten when their class went hiking. He tried to follow them but has lost his way. Night came and he was shouting for help in the middle of the mountain, he was very afraid imagining that ghosts would emerge out of thin air or maybe cannibals would pop up anywhere to hunt him down. No one came to him after shouting for help, but in an hour of purely meandering, he arrived unknowingly in the middle of the road where he was spotted by the police officers who were looking for him.

"Oh poor boy!" Trinity Soul blurted with affection.

"Even your homeroom teacher never noticed you?" Drizzle Sizzle annoyingly asked.

Iron Bash didn't reply to her as he was busy replying to a message. He was only distracted when he was resurrected on the same spot he was standing. It was Drizzle who attacked him.

"When people are talking to you, you should listen. Don't be rude!" Drizzle Sizzle attacked him again and he wasn't able to react fast. He once again resurrected.

"Forgive me, it's just my girlfriend wants to join the guild too," Instead of saying it out loud, Iron Bash sent it to the guild chat.

"Oh? Does she have a forgotten story to share?" Unknown asked with interest.

"Yeah! I think so?" Iron Bash was doubtful.

"Then what are you waiting for? Tell her to come here," Drizzle became excited.

"Don't! We need people from the outside. In the mean time, tell her to join the guild and prepare her forgotten story," Unknown ordered.

[Royal Spirit wants to join the guild.]

[Accept/Reject]

Unknown accepted her into the guild and ordered her to hire a thousand newbie players to just hang around outside the Sky Kingdom arena and they shall earn one gold by doing so. He also told her to make it secretive and not to attract the attention of the players camping outside the said Arena. Those players were waiting for Drizzle Sizzle, Iron Bash and Once Jewel to come out to either join them or kill them.

Not even twenty minutes passed, Royal Spirit already finished the task Unknown gave her. Without questioning her, Unknown led Drizzle, Jewel, and Iron out of the Sky Kingdom Arena while telling the others to stay inside and shall wait for his order. And due to the newbie players who flocked to the entrance of the Arena, Unknown and the others were able to escape. Though, there were still players who recognized them and tried chasing them.

"There they are!"

"Don't let them escape! Chase them."

"The rising rookie Unknown is with them!"

Unknown and the three immediately arrived at the teleportation site and instantly teleported towards River Gate Town. Upon arriving at River Gate Town, they again used the teleportation to go to Blue Empire.

Arriving at the Blue Empire, Unknown told the three to teleport to Red Flag Town and immediately rush towards Lidger Village. This way, they were able to confuse the enemies and give them time to go back to his own village. As for him, he shall stay to roam the market and purchase things that the guild and his village needed.

"Leader, is it time for us to go out?" Lost Soul asked in the guild chat.

"Coordinate with Royal Spirit and make sure that there are no players around the arena before you can move out." Unknown replied.

At the Blue Empire Market, Unknown was being followed by lots of players.

"Sir Unknown, my Magnifico Guild is willing to offer you a billion USD to sell your land to us."

"Forget the Magnifico Guild, we, the Soaring Phoenix can offer you 2 billion USD." The Soaring Phoenix Guild was a Super Guild that was contending against foreign guilds. They also have their own share of revenue in the Blue Empire that was letting them earn billions of golds.

Upon learning the offers of a first rate guild like Magnifico and a super guild like Soaring Phoenix, the other guilds didn't dare to gave their offers. But there were few brave individuals who still gave their offers.

"Idol Unknown, I want to follow you. Please make me your apprentice and I am willing to give you blueprints of some buildings."

"Sir, I am willing to give you my body for a piece of land in your village!"

"I can let you marry my daughter. She's still a virgin!"

Various players offered him but Unknown never cared about them as he just walked from stalls to stalls trying to see the different prices of blueprints, building upgrades, skill books and advisor SUMMONING scrolls.

"If you don't like the Magnifico Guild to buy your land, we are willing to help you upgrade it into a city but the revenue share must be 50/50. Or else, you don't like the consequences of turning us down."

"Typical Magnifico Guild bullying the weak!" A representative of the Soaring Phoenix Guild mocked. "Since the rising rookie isn't interested in our offer. I shall take my leave, but please do remember to contact us if ever you change your mind."

Unknown nodded at him as he immediately added him as a friend, he thought, "As usual, the Soaring Phoenix is an upright guild."

Since he doesn't have the courage to buy the things he needed, Unknown immediately left the market and teleported to the Azure Empire and headed straight to a private Inn as he messaged Doraemon - the representative of the Soaring Phoenix, "I have a way for you to acquire the level ten guild promotion."

"How authentic?" Doraemon inquired.

"A hundred!" Unknown replied.

"I'll tell our leader!"

"Meet me at my village, and ensure not to attract attention. Bring Drac with you!" Unknown said.
