"As someone who will be your leader in the future, I thank you all for joining the guild that we will form, even though we have not yet decided what our group name will be, but I am sure that we will be able to dominate the Dominion and compete with all the other big guilds."
Rey spoke while standing in front of everyone, delivering her first speech as a leader of her small guild that did not even have a name yet.
Seeing how he spoke like that, delivering an opening that sounded so impressive and convincing, he seemed like someone who was indeed worthy of being a leader. But in fact, in his right hand, Rey was still holding his beer bottle and from inside his mouth there was also a smell of alcohol, it clearly did not show how a leader should behave in front of his members.
But anyway, Rey was not the type of person who was always serious all the time. He joked more often and sometimes acted indifferently, especially when with people who were already quite familiar with him. So, it was natural for him to show a relaxed and indifferent attitude like that, because it was already his habit.
"Rey, I know you're the leader of this group, but it sounds disgusting when you speak formally like that, it doesn't suit your personality. So, just talk normally and get straight to the point. The Dominion server will be open soon, so don't waste too much time." Without further ado, Van was the first to express his complaint.
"Tch... You're bothering me Van, at least let me act like a leader." Rey replied with complaints clearly visible on her face.
Zein looked at the clock on the wall, it was currently 7:00 p.m. and based on the time set by the game developer, all Dominion servers would open at 8:00 a.m. based on Zein's current location, for other locations it would be adjusted according to their respective time zones.
After all servers were opened, everyone who already had a registered account would be able to enter Dominion Online. And based on the latest information that Zein was looking for regarding the number of players who had registered to have a Dominion online account, there were around 8.5 billion accounts that had been registered.
Imagining that many players, which is about three-quarters of the world's current population, entering simultaneously and together into the world of Dominion online, it will clearly change Dominion into a real ocean of people, it is also as if it has become a second earth for mankind. And in the twenty-second century, precisely in the year 2125, perhaps Dominion will get a world record, an achievement for the first perfect Immersion virtual game with the most players entering on the opening on the first day.
But, it wouldn't be a big developer if the two developers didn't anticipate the large number of players who would enter the game on the first day of opening. Based on the info, one of the rules implemented to anticipate this incident is the limitation of the number of players who can enter one zone on the first day, the regulation was made so that there would be no accumulation of large numbers of players that exceed the capacity in one zone, and of course the rule only applies on the first day.
"Rey, previously Kent said we would have seven professional players who would be our members, but there are only six people here, where is the seventh person? Did he cancel his intention to join this group?" Zein asked Rey a question.
That was actually the question Zein had wanted to ask since earlier, because since the beginning when he entered this room, he only saw six people including himself.
"Oh Theo, he's our seventh member. That stupid kid couldn't come to this place directly because he was lying dying at his house, he had an accident a few days ago, but he has confirmed that he will join this guild, we will meet him directly in the game, so our members remain seven people." Rey explained to Zein.
That was unpleasant news to hear even though Rey said it casually.
"That stupid kid died because of his own actions, luckily he didn't die. Driving a car while he was drunk, even his car was destroyed by fire, if he died we would lose our seventh member." Van said grumblingly.
"Hahaha... it seems like you're really upset with him, Van." Kent joined in and laughed a little.
"Well, that's because I've often told him not to be drunk while driving, but he's still stubborn and doesn't want to listen to what I say." Van replied, still looking annoyed.
"It's like you're talking about yourself, Van. You're just as stubborn." Leon said in response.
"Haaah...?! What did you say? I'll be the first to kill you in Dominion if you don't take back your words." Van said with an annoyed expression and while threatening, but Leon just kept quiet ignoring him.
Just seeing how the two of them interacted, Rick could already tell the nature and character of the two of them, and also the character of everyone here.
Van was someone who was easily provoked and might be quite impulsive, On the other hand Leon was someone who liked to start fights, but he seemed to be a fairly calm person.
Then Nathan, he is a person who does not talk much, looks more silent, and it seems that in this team he also plays a role as an information provider. As he also did in his old guild, something that Zein found out when working together on missions with Nathan's old Guild, Nathan was seen providing quite a lot of useful information to his guild.
Next is Rey, he is a bit indifferent but from the look in his eyes and how he looks around, you could say he is the type of person who is a situation scanner, a figure who is perhaps the most worthy to be a leader in the team. Moreover, coupled with his status which is also quite good, it further strengthens his worthiness as a leader in this team.
And the last is Kent, there is no information for him, maybe he is someone who is in the middle character, not too talkative and also not someone who is quiet.
"Then what is the name used by Theo in the game?" Zein asked which was answered by Nathan.
"Royce... that's the name he uses, that's the information I have, for more complete information you can ask Van because he's his close friend, he has more information than I do." Nathan explained.
"I don't think I need to ask Van, I already know quite a lot about him, that is if he really is the Royce I've met." Zein answered.
"So you've also worked with him?" Nathan asked Zein.
"No, I never teamed up with him, in fact I often fought with him. Maybe it's the same case as Van, only he fought me more often when we met. Besides, there's no way I could partner with him, because I spend most of my time in the game playing solo because I don't really like being tied down by guild rules."
"Yeah, I already know that." Nathan answered shortly.
For most players, especially beginners, joining a guild is usually the main choice. The reason is clear, to make it easier to increase their level and speed up their progress. Playing with many players is certainly easier than playing alone. In addition, the higher the ranking of a guild, the more people want to join. But that does not apply to Zein, he actually prefers to play alone because he doesn't really like being tied to guild rules, especially if he has to share loot or be tied to various other rules.
This is also the first time Zein has really joined and formed a guild together, and that was because of coercion from Kent, if there was no coercion from him, maybe Zein would still play alone as usual.
"Then, Rey, what are the plans for our guild name later and also will you change the name too?" Zein asked Rey and everyone else again.
It wasn't Rey who answered, but Van who gave the answer.
"Of course, we have to have a good name, one that will attract everyone's attention. We can make a guild name like Super Pro Player Guild, or maybe The Ruler, or The Supreme King. The point is a name that will make our guild look superior even though we are only a small guild." Van said giving a suggestion, which was immediately answered with loud laughter by Leon.
"Hahahaha.... Do you really like childish names like that, Van. Even though your own name is quite good, but you chose a bad name for our guild, or do you want to embarrass our guild?" Leon said in a sarcastic tone.
"If that's the case, maybe I'll give you some name ideas for our guild like, Ducky Squad, MarsMeow, or maybe Banana knight, or maybe Chibi Warriors. Doesn't that name sound funny... Hahahaha." Leon gave a name idea that was no less strange and absurd.
Zein just kept quiet. After all, he wasn't really good at coming up with name ideas, so he preferred not to speak rather than suggest something that sounded weird or unreasonable. Besides, he didn't really care about the guild's name. For him, the most important thing was its members. It didn't matter what name was chosen, as long as the guild was filled with strong and qualified people.
"I won't decide now, because I'm not really good at making names myself. What about you two, Kent, Nathan?" Rey asked while directing her gaze towards the two of them.
"I have no idea, I'll just go with you guys, besides, a name doesn't matter to me, whatever name you want, as long as it doesn't use Van's name." Kent's short answer was clearly directed unilaterally at one person.
"We'll decide that later, Rey. When we have a basecamp, it will definitely be in the dominion, besides, we don't know yet whether we will be a pure guild or just a fake guild." Nathan gave a suggestion that sounded more logical among all of them. And everyone also agreed with what Nathan said.
