Chapter 3

Everyone was looking around, they were on top of the mountain in an open field. James looked to his right and saw a small lake and on his left a small forest. Everywhere else was just grasslands. James took out his guild token. The token was a round gold coin with the world’s guild token imprinted on it. “Activate”. As James gave the command, the token floated up from his hand and started to spin above his head. After a few seconds the token released four beams.

Everywhere the light beams landed new buildings started to appear out of thin air. Infront of James, the Guild House appeared, left was an apartment block for accommodation, to his right a Warehouse and behind him a teleporter. A pathway connected the buildings. An eerie mist settled on the mountain. Everything the mist touched died. The animals became undead creatures. The forest was just place with some old dead trees. The lakes water was black with poisonous water.

James called up the guild manger screen and looked at the descriptions for the buildings.

Guild House.

This Guild House is where the action in the guild is. It holds the shop, blacksmith, Quest House, offices and three apartments for the Guild Leader and two Deputy Guild Masters.

Apartment Block

There are 25 apartments for guild members. More apartments will become available after each upgrade of the apartment block.

Warehouse.

A place to store all resources and good. Warehouse space will increase after each upgrade.

Teleporter.

Can be used to connect to other guilds, the Main City and the Underground.

James asked Sonja to allocate apartments to the teachers and students. She called all the teachers and students, together they moved to the apartment block.

James went over to the teleporter and set the restrictions to guild members only.

The headmaster and James moved to the offices in the Guild Building to speak about their next move.

After allocating the apartments Sonja went to the Guild Building to meet up with James and the headmaster. As she walked through the door of the building, she saw a big hall. On her right was the shop and blacksmith, to her left offices and in front of her was three doors, most probably the three apartments for the heads of the guild.

Sonja joined James and the headmaster in one of the offices. She saw James sitting behind a desk with the headmaster sitting across James. She took a seat next to the headmaster.

After Sonja took her seat James started to explain the next step for the guild. “Headmaster, can you please see that all players that are responsible for the shop, blacksmith and Warehouse are in place” “Yes, I can” the headmaster replied. “Sonja after the meeting can you please see to the player receiving the gear from the Warehouse.” Sonja nodded. James told them that the parties would start going in to the underworld after 12 pm. James explained that the goal of the parties was to find minerals and herb deposits for the guild. James made it clear that this is the highest priority for the guild so that they could upgrade the guild in this week.

As the two ladies was about to leave the office James reminded them about the banquet tonight.

“Do not forget that we have a fucking banquet tonight.” Sonja looked at James. “I take it you do not enjoy banquets.” “No, they are a waste of time.”

After getting his mind in order James left the office and went to the shop. One of the students was behind the shop counter waiting for customers. James bought three robes with hoods, three pairs of gloves and three pairs of boots. These items cost James 1 Gold 50 Silver.

While waiting for the head master and Sonja to get done with there tasks, James went and got dressed in his apartment. James entered the room and had a look around. The apartment had two rooms. In the first room there was a window at the back. A desk was placed a meter in front of the window with a chair at the back and two chairs in front of the desk. On both sides of the room there were bookshelves with some books. In the second room was a bed.

James got dressed in his new rob, boots and gloves. The rob, boots and gloves were all pitch black with red trim. As James got dressed, every piece of clothing he put on changed. The piece of clothing would become torn and ragged, giving the feeling that the clothing was old. James pulled the hood over his head to hide his face. As James went out of his room, he saw Sonja and the Headmaster enter the hall. He called out to them. “James is that you” Sonja asked.” Yes” “What an improvement, now I don’t have to look at your ugly body and face.”

James gave them each a rob, set of Gloves and a set of boots. Both sets were blood read with a black trim. “This will become the standard uniform for the public service department until we can manufacture our own clothing.”

James left the two ladies. He was planning to go look outside around the guild. First James made his way to the dead forest. He walked through the forest for a bit only seeing some undead zombie deers, and an undead zombie wolf. James thought to himself that all the living creatures in the forest must have transformed into zombies.

Next James made his way too the lake. The water in the lake became a really dark colour with a black mist coming up out of the water. All the fish in the lake was rotten and drifting on top of the water. James took a rock and tossed it into the water. The next moment all the dead rotten fish rushed over to where the rock fell.

The last place James visited was the edges of the mountain. As he looked down the mountain James notice that another guild had built their guild at the bottom of the mountain. James opened his map marked the spot of the guild and made a note. Destroy in one week.
