POTENTIAL ALLIES
Noctis did what he did not just because he pitied Takara, but also because it is practical to take advantage of what he knew about RPG Fantasia.
He needed to gain and nurture potential allies who'll be major power players in the future.
His years of experience in playing online games taught him to play smart, plan a thousand steps ahead of the enemy, be an endless and shameless schemer and plotter, and learn to take advantage of situations that arise in-game.
He thought about the Scraper Guild.
Will he use or discard them and give them a hard time when he encounters them again?
He considered contacting his father so he can remove the Guild from those shortlisted for the Nobility Badge, and get the Scraper Guild back to square one.
Perhaps Noctis can even have them eliminated.
There must be a reason behind their Guild Leader being a bully.
He also needs to approach his deceased brother's allies and get them on his side.
He went to the next floor to challenge the first floor of the Novice Stage.
There are 5 Stages in RPG Fantasia, namely Novice, Intermediate, Legendary, God Mode, and Creator.
There are 20 floors in each Stage, and mini-bosses appear on the fifth floor of each stage, with the next stronger than the last.
The 20th floor holds the strongest bosses.
Finishing the game gets harder and harder every time a player climbs up.
The Game Guardians and the Game Administrators are said to reside in the Creator stage, while the Game Developer resides on the final floor.
He’s said to keep a god-class beast, which is the final boss in VRMMORPG Fantasion.
The Game Guardians are supposed to only explain to players what they'll encounter in the stage they're assigned to, and not meddle in the favor of one faction
over another, but that's not always the case.
They also had vested interests and oftentimes took part in the power struggle between the two factions.
Only players with Nobility Badges and Legendary to God Class weapons, skills, and beasts can take on the final boss.
It's said to be so strong it can obliterate a battlefield full of low rank, third class and second class players with a single breath of dragonfire.
Takara couldn't believe her good luck, but she knew she had to make the most of it.
She needed to get stronger, gain allies, become a major power player to make her plan of revenge and power come into fruition.
She knew that she is indebted to Noctis for plucking her from the hands of her former Guild Master, who always bullied her, and belittled her the moment she joined the Scraper Guild.
She guessed right from the start that Noctis is a latecomer, and a replacement player at that who joined VRMMORPG Fantasion so he could avenge his dead older brother, Satsuki.
Takara sensed that Noctis is the exact opposite of his morally upright brother.
Lelouch will break and bend all the rules to get what he wants, use others to obtain his goals, eliminate those who prove to be a hindrance to him with a flick of finger, without caring for the consequences, the same way he almost eliminated Joe Franco from VRMMORPG Fantasion once and for all. I had best not get on his bad side.
Takara thought to herself as she reflected on the events that happened earlier at the Lobby.
She knew that Noctis had a formidable background, and heard a lot about Satsuki, Noctis’ dead brother, even getting the chance to glimpse at Satsuki, who looked so morally upright and dignified, one time or another when she was still a guild member of the elite and top class Battle Mages Guild.
She even heard rumors that Noctis and Satsuki has a backer who is even more powerful and formidable than them, namely their own father, who is now said to own 30 percent of stocks and shares in Tokyo Gaming Solutions, is one of the influential board members of Tokyo Gaming Solutions as a pioneer, and even had Game Administrator access to the game.
Lelouch will be a formidable opponent. He'll be ruthless in a fight, whether weapons are involved or nope, and he won't play fairly.
Takara pictured herself going against Lelouch, and shuddered.
Lelouch will just slice me to death with those overpowered weapons of his, inform my sister that I'm dead, walk away without taking a second glance, and leave my dead body to be eaten by creatures of darkness, which will come when night-time comes to VRMMORPG Fantasion. He's far wilder than his father, too. His father will ban me from the game, if Hashioki caught me betraying Lelouch. I may be a former elite player, but I have next to no other powerful backers who can reverse the ban, as they only listen to players with impressive in-game stats and in-game achievements.
Players with Elite Badges are top-ranked and untouchable in VRMMORPG Fantasion.
They don't care one bit about the ordinary players and can't even be bothered to lift a finger if something happens.
They think of ordinary players and ordinary Guilds as just mere expendable pawns in a game of chess.
But Zero is different, although he has a cold and dark but powerful aura that emanates when he's around.
And the way he approached her made her blush and sent butterflies in her stomach.
She couldn't help but blush and get wet down there when she thought of him.
She was kicked out and banished from the influential and immensely wealthy Battle Mages Clan, along with her sister.
Her sister made vital decisions without consulting the rest of the Senior Officers of the Battle Mages Guild, and that angered the Battle Mages Guild Leader so badly that she was banished alongside her sister.
To make matters worse, she is trash when compared to her cousin and sister, who are top battle mages.
Being a battle mage and a multi-elemental one at that made her tremendously powerful in battle once she leveled up to become a Grand Multi-Elemental Battle Mage.
Her power is imbued on her by Metis.
However, it also had a drawback.
Since her sister is an elite acolyte of the goddess Venus, she often gets horny and if there's no one around willing to have sex with her, she fingers herself while
touching her breasts somewhere private.
With Lelouch backing her up, she went off to improve her strength before attempting to contact the Vampire Class player Rebecca Hudgens, the cousin of the vampire challenger Lilith.
Players with elite badges only recognize and get allied with those who can stand on the same footing as them.
Luckily, she knew what vampires need: lots of blood, and their deficit for magic despite their powers meant they always kept a mage as an ally or else an assistant
nearby.
She knew a perfect place where the two vampires could feed: the hunting grounds of the Scraper Guild. She smirked. She wanted the entire guild dead one way
or another.
Rebecca Hudgens could transform into a bat, read minds and manipulate people through telepathy.
She can also summon creatures of darkness.
Her supersonic speed in battle means she is hard to counter if the opponent doesn't have spells/enchantments that are of celestial / fire element.
She's also immune to the sun because of a complicated series of runes.
The weapon has to be made of silver.
Lilith is far harder to approach, but she might have a chance if she tried to make friends with Rebecca Hudgens.
She knew a perfect place where the two vampires could feed: the natural hunting grounds of the Witch Guild.
She knew that the witch-class players and vampire-class layers are on bad terms with each other, as a result of a major Guild war that lasted for 4 years, after the Guild Leader of the Witch Guild got caught red handed in secretly assisting Morrigan incite a second war between the Vampire Guild and the Werewolf Guild.
Rebecca Hudgens could transform into a bat, read minds and manipulate people through telepathy.
She can also summon creatures of darkness.
Her supersonic speed in battle meant she is hard to counter if the opponent doesn't have spells/enchantments that are of celestial / fire element.
She's also immune to the sun because of a complicated series of runes.
The weapon has to be made of silver.
Lilith is far harder to approach, but she might have a chance if she tried to make friends with Rebecca Hudgens.
She has a history of trade and friendship with the vampires, so she might stand a chance.
She also needed to contact the werewolf player Raymond Collins, said to be a direct descendant of Fenrir, one of the werewolves of Odin.
Raymond could turn into a werewolf and become a ferocious beast in battle.
He's also the most powerful wolf among Fenrir’s descendants, as he could shapeshift into just about anyone and mimic them perfectly while in
shapeshifter form.
He also turns into a wolf and howls in the full moon just like the rest of the werewolves.
Takara helped end a 5 year war between the vampires and werewolves, so she has no problem entering werewolf territory.
