Chapter 3

These tasks don't seem that hard to complete.

And I'm sort of curious to see what happens next.

If I wake up and I'm suddenly in this perdicament, I'm almost certain that something even more weird will happen.

I'm still a bit put off by this situation, but honestly, I don't think I have a choice.

Something tells me that I'll just find myself in a loop if I try running in any direction just like the darkness I was in.

So let's just see what happens for now.

With that thought in mind I opened the inventory app in my phone.

Sure enough there were square slots, though most of them were empty.

Out of these slots there happened to be three slots that weren't.

One slot had the shape of a building but it had a question mark and is all greyed out.

The second slot had three strange cards and the third was a clipboard.

It seems like a starter pack just like the message had said.

I hovered a finger over the greyed out building and pressed it.

I kind of expected it to do something like pop out from my phone or whatever.

Instead a black looking hole appeared and out popped a building that was in the shape of a hut.

It was kind of...shabby looking.

I frowned at the building with a bit of suspicion.

It had a thatch triangular roof that looked as though the straw would float away at any second.

Even the stone of the building that's shaped like a wide cylinder was chipped and seemed a bit like it was falling apart.

There was even a sign below the thatch roof with nothing on it. If I had something to say about it, the sign looks like it's in better shape than the building itself.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Ding!

I looked down at my phone.

Message: Congrats for completing a task! Looks like the first building obtained is an Adventure Guild. Though it's small now, it'll eventually grow depending on your future decisions. Complete the rest of your tasks in order to move forward!

I see so it's like that.

But....I wonder if it means it's that kind of guild, like in those RPG games.

I'll check it out, hopefully it's like those novels where only the outside looks bad but the inside is completely different.

I reached towards the wooden door that had a half cylinder shape and tured the knob to push it open.

When I opened the door my high expectations flew out the window immediately.

I mean sure it's bigger than I expected. But this interior.....I feel kind of cheated.

The ceiling looks like it'll cave in at any moment and the floors creaked when you walked across it.

Even the furnishings were shaggy and old looking.

It does have the receptionist desk, and next to the desk were stairs that led up to the second floor.

I stared at the stairs, if one could call those rotten looking things stairs.

Well that was at the back of the guild, on my left there was a seating area.

And on the right there was a board that says quests on a square paper attached to it, though the board is empty.

I sigh.

It's whatever, I won't worry about it right now, first let's complete the other tasks.

Next was to hire an employee, I'm not sure about this one just yet so I'll skip it for now.

So that leaves naming the fantasy world, right?

It sounds a bit easy but in actual fact it will be hard to come up with something.

I got it!

I can name this world Yanaris after a late great-grandmother of mine!

It's perfect! I'll go with that then!

Ding!

Message: Fantasy World Yanaris has been registered, congrats! You have recieved a new app for hiring employees. You can only hire two. Good luck!

Another app, huh.

While I was still looking at my phone I noticed a new app that wasn't there before.

Hiring App? Wow what a cliche and obvious name.

I pressed the app and got a new screen with a whole list of people profiles.

When I say profiles I mean it.

There were mugshots and names on the list.

Once I pressed on a mugshot, I get a whole profile of the person's information.

I think these are applications of job hirees.

This is actually quite convient for me.

The first five applicants were an immediate hell no.

They had criminal backgrounds that were hard to ignore.

What's this sixth applicant though?

He has a shaved head and dark skin complexion.

He's pretty big too, in the muscular sense.

His stern expression could even scare a small child.

Hmmm.....

And judging from his experience he'd be perfect.

Application Information

Last Name: Takishi / First Name: Yen

Gender: Male / Age: 40

Address:..........................................................

Skills: Leadership, Financing,.......

Oh! This person could be the guildmaster for the adventure guild!

Not only does he look the part, he has the credentials as an ex-marine as well.

I'll just press confirm down here on this screen.

What happened next? Well, not even I can believe it.
