Floor 5
After the 5th floor opened and there is now a guild hall in the main town center on the first floor, players are starting to guild. The big names in the game have also formed their own guilds and have already started recruiting promising players. After they reached level 50 and all picked their classes, our group returned to the 5th floor to grow further and get more valuable equipment.
Over the course of the next few days, applications to join the guild were growing for the 5 of us, but none wanted to join any guild.
- I'm tired of all these applications... Alexis says with a sigh.
- It makes me feel like a star with all this courtesy. (Leon)
- Have you received many? I haven't had many guilds come after me, just some with pretty weak players. (Dante)
- I wonder why. (Alexis)
- I really don't know what to do... Zekker keeps insisting I join his guild. (Apollo)
- Do you want to do it? (Alexis)
- I don't know... I also love spending time with you guys. (Apollo)
- Then it's simple, don't join. says Leon with a smile on his face.
- I have a proposal for all of us, since all 5 of us don't want to join any guilds, let's form our own group to hunt and clear dungeons. (Alexis)
- Which 5? Are you considering that guy? (Dante)
- I'm in. I don't want that peasant in my group. (Gilgamesh)
- Who are you calling a peasant? (Dante)
- Haha. Let's shake hands and be friends. (Leon)
- Back to what I was saying. If we don't want to join a guild, let's form our own group. (Alexis)
- I like the idea. (Leon)
- I look forward to joining you. (Apollo)
- Sure. (Dante)
- I'm in for the time being. If I feel you're gonna drag me down, I'll leave. (Gilgamesh)
- Be careful not to drag us down. says Dante to Gilgamesh.
- Then it's decided. (Alexis)
- Does this group have a name? If not, I have some ideas. (Leon)
- Let's just keep it that way until things settle down. (Alexis)
And so, the group of five finally takes official form. The next few days they were doing dungeons, killing monsters, and gathering various resources while working on teamwork.
- Ah, I hate this whole guild thing. Ever since they came along, they've started to monopolize all the important dungeons. (Leon)
- That's the whole point of being in a guild, especially a powerful one. (Alexis)
- I've also seen some new information on the forum. Now the Top 10,000 players are supposedly called Rankers by the rest of the players. (Leon)
- Are we Rankers? I bet we are in the top 1,000. Or maybe even the top 500? (Dante)
- With your skills, I wouldn't be surprised if you're not even in the top million. You've got the lowest level of all of us anyway. (Gilgamesh)
~Gilgamesh(Swordsman) – Level 60, place 198th~
~Alexis(Samurai) – Level 56, place 1.850th~
~Apollo(Guardian) – Level 56, place 1.734th~
~Leon(Lancer) – Level 55, place 2.911th~
~Dante(Berserker) – Level 53, place 11.777th~
- Looks like most of us rank pretty well, only Dante is a little out of range. (Alexis)
- Still, Gilgamesh being in the top 200? That's too much. (Leon)
- He could join any guild or even start his own guild and make it a successful one. (Apollo)
- I know what you're saying, especially with his character, I wouldn't be surprised to have his members name him King. Haha. (Leon)
- You can be my subject yourself if you insist. (Gilgamesh)
- Cut the crap and let's focus, here comes a new group of monsters. (Alexis)
- Okay... (Leon)
Time passes pretty quickly, and eventually, a guild finally manages to defeat the Boss of the 5th Floor, opening the new floor.
- It seems that even the Floor Dungeons have become the guilds' battleground. (Leon)
- Perhaps they're competing against each other who can get through more floors? (Apollo)
- I'm sure we could complete a few ourselves. (Dante)
- Don't think it's that easy. Guilds have more resources and more members to attack a Floor Dungeon. You can't compare the strength of 50-100 people to just 5. (Alexis)
- Do you think we'll get a chance to attack a floor anytime soon? (Leon)
- We don't have to think like that. Even if there are many, most of them are just cannon fodder. I'm sure even I could complete the Floor Dungeon alone. (Gilgamesh)
- Let's go to the other floor. You can talk about it on the way all you want. (Alexis)
