Introduction 1

From the front door of the room, Zein could hear the sound of people chatting loudly and also occasionally he also heard the sound of laughter that seemed to fill the entire room.

"They seem to be having fun"

"Well, that's their pleasure, they will always party in every place." Kent answered with a sigh, from the expression on his face he seemed to also be confused by their attitude of partying and having fun.

It was also as Zein had expected before, they all must have made a private party. they didn't even seem to care if their voices might disturb the surrounding area, fortunately the shape of the room on this floor, although not soundproof, was designed with a fairly large distance between the rooms.

Because the door mechanism of the room used a fingerprint sensor located on the door handle, Kent pressed his thumb on the sensor panel located under the door handle, and it only took a second for the green light to flash. A click sound from the door was heard, then he pushed the door and entered.

As soon as he entered the room, what Zein saw was clearly a very spacious room with very luxurious facilities. He himself was not surprised to see how luxurious and classy the room was, because the house and apartment that Zein lived in also had such luxury standards. Or simply, Zein himself also came from an upper-class economic and wealth strata.

"Kent, you finally managed to bring him." a man sitting on the sofa greeted Kent as soon as he saw him walking into the room.

"At least you should give me a pretty big bonus, Rey. He almost didn't accept my offer to join this team, I even bought him a ticket so he would come here."

Kent casually answered the words of the man named Rey, he then sat on the sofa not far from the sofa Rey was occupying.

"Hahaha... Of course, Kent. You will get a lot of bonuses if this team is formed. Or maybe I can give you some of my dusty mythic items in my inventory."

Similar to Kent, the man named Rey also gave a casual answer. Or maybe that answer sounded even more unreasonable because he said he would give an item with a mythic rank so easily to someone else. But maybe that wouldn't be a problem for a rich and professional player like him, who considered mythic class items like cheap toys that could be shared with anyone.

Then how did Zein describe the figure of Rey in front of him right now, where he was definitely the figure who would become the leader of the group that would be formed later.

At first glance when Zein saw him, he was clearly a charismatic and authoritative man, but that charm seemed to disappear instantly when he saw how he spoke to Kent earlier. Well, ignoring how he spoke, from his outward appearance he was still worthy of being a leader according to Zein's personal assessment. For Zein, it didn't matter how someone acted when speaking, what determined whether or not he was worthy was when he was in battle and in the game, whether the decisions he made could benefit the guild or not.

"You can sit there..." Rey seemed to pause in her words, then pointed to the empty sofa beside her, inviting Zein to sit.

"Bro, I didn't expect to meet you here, someone who killed me several times in DoomVeil, don't tell me you don't remember me?! I'll be mad if you don't remember me."

Just as Zein sat down, another man suddenly spoke to him.

There were actually four other people besides him and Kent in this room, where all of them were clearly not known to Zein, even if he had met them in the game, he would definitely tend to forget rather than remember, that's because there are so many virtual games and on the other hand there are so many players at the same time. Moreover, when playing games, Zein played more solo and focused on completing missions, so it was natural that he didn't really remember someone's face and name, even his own friend list could be counted on one hand.

"Maybe he won't remember you, Van. He's killed a lot of players, maybe that includes you too, so don't expect him to remember you if you use a bad introduction like that."

Another man who looked younger than Zein added to the previous man's words. And of course Zein didn't know or remember who the two of them were even though they themselves probably remembered Zein, whether it was during their time in the game.

"Damn you Leon, that's clearly an insult to me, you're even worse, your death record is probably more than mine."

Seeing their dispute at a time like this, it actually made Zein feel a little awkward to make an introduction.

Zein was still looking at the two of them, the first man named Leon, just looking at his face, he could probably be called a true masculine, his body was tall and also big, if he was synchronized in the form of a Class in the game, he would clearly have a class or job As a knight, or maybe as a tank.

Then the next one was a man named Van. In any case, he was clearly below the standard of all the members or people here. Although his body was not too short and not too thin either, but in terms of posture and body proportions, he was clearly shorter and thinner than everyone else.

Zein also didn't know for sure what position might be suitable for someone like him in a game, maybe he would be more suited to a flexible job, a job that focuses on speed like Scout or Assassin.

But then again, it was just a matter of matching. Usually, if someone has entered the game, body posture doesn't really affect the player. Everything can be covered by the skills that a player has. With the skills or jobs they get, they can be whatever they want, even if their body posture doesn't match. Someone with a small body might be able to become a Tank, conversely, someone with a large body could be a Scout or Rogue.

"I'll have a hard time remembering if you make an introduction like that, especially since a person's character and face when in the game can be very different when compared to when they are in the real world. At least you use your most popular name when in the game, that way it will be easier for me to remember you."

Hearing Zein's words, the two of them looked at each other, as if considering whether it was a good idea to introduce themselves with the names they used in the game. However, on the other hand, they also felt that it was not entirely the right choice. Using their in-game names to introduce themselves to the person who had killed them there was the same as reopening the bad memories they had when they met Zein.

Finally, with a slightly heavy feeling, while taking a deep breath, Van raised his hand and introduced himself. And seeing how he was going to introduce himself, he actually looked more like a thief who was being forced to confess after being caught stealing.

"Alright, I'll be the first, Luxfinder, that's the name I used in several games, including in DoomVeil too, don't tell me you don't remember that name, Lordkill! You've killed me several times, so I hope you can remember me." Van said with a slight accent and stared sharply at Zein.

Meanwhile, Zein, hearing one of the aliases he used in the game mentioned by Van, he just narrowed his eyes slightly at Van, and slowly his brain began to remember the name Luxfinder from the list of players he had killed.

"Van... LuxFin... Okay now I remember it, Van. If I'm not mistaken you're a member of the Ivory guild, right? And also in the top three for the swordsman rankings in DoomVeil and also in several other games."

"Honestly it still disappoints me how long it took you to remember. Now, how should I address you here, Lordkill? This being our meeting in the real world, there's no way I'm going to call you by that name, right? Or would you perhaps prefer it if I called you by that name?"

Zein almost forgot to mention his name because he was distracted by their previous conversation, but actually Zein himself was quite reluctant to introduce his name because he preferred to keep his name a secret, but it couldn't be helped, from now on he had to be in the same guild, so he had no choice but to tell him his name.

"Zein Whitmore, you can call me Zein. Hasn't Kent told you my name yet?" Zein stated his name while extending his hand to Van.

"No, I'm just telling you your status in the game, Zein. I think you better introduce yourself to them." Kent joined in and added.

"Whitmore huh... I never thought you were the figure behind the Lordkill player, Zein. Moreover, you also come from the Whitmore family. Maybe that's what makes you superior in every game."

Van spoke with a facial expression that still showed his disbelief after hearing that Zein came from the Whitmore family.

"I think it's a bit too much for you to mention my family background, my family isn't as big as you think, maybe my family is just a small, happy family. Also, I became superior in the game not entirely because of my family background, but more because of my own abilities."

"Hahahaha... What kind of nonsense is that, Zein. I think you express humility in an inappropriate way, who doesn't know the Whitmore family. But it's up to you to come from whatever family, like you said, the main thing needed in this team is ability, then the next is wealth... Hahaha."

Van's loud laughter echoed throughout the room again, it even caught the attention of a young man sitting in the corner of the room who had been focusing on his laptop, the only person who had not spoken and introduced himself, which also made Zein a little curious about him.
