A few hours ago.....
The Dark Legion Guild has been busy for the past few days. Most of their top adventures are training all day and all of them are eager to win the tournament. In particular, Titanium rank adventurers aim to defeat the strongest adventurer in the Empire from the Imperial Vulture Guild.
On the training ground of the Dark Legion Guild, about 40 Orichalcum rank adventurers, 29 Adamantite rank adventurers and 4 Titanium rank adventurers are on the field practicing their swings, spells, endurance and agility.
Most of them are men and only a few of them are women. A single female Titanium rank adventurer drew the attention of all men on the field.
Her name was Nymira. Her gorgeous and perfect swing caught the attention of every man watching her. They stop on what they were doing and focuses on her fight. Gorgeous breasts with perfectly curved hips and attractive waist can be seen while she was moving around with full of confidence and then she created some distance from her opponent.
Nymira tied her short blonde hair to avoid them from getting hit or slashed and it made the palpitations of the men's heart increase immensely. She then closed her eyes and focused intensely to beat the opponent in front of her. She raised her dual swords and then closed the distance between her and her opponent in almost an instant and then slashed vertically targeting his head.
But, Sieggen caught her sword with his fingers without any effort. He released Nymira's sword and returned to their original positions. Sieggen was very cool even during their training, as he was having a training session with Nymira, he moved gracefully that captured the hearts of the women on the side of the field sitting while watching him.
"That's the only thing I hate about Sir Sieggen." One of the Adamantite adventurer stated. He was holding a dagger and have a leather armor from a wolf. He has an average height and he's on in his 30's.
"That's right! Everytime we practice on the field, he's the one who's always taking all the attentions of those cute chicks over there." Another Adamantite adventurer affirmed. He's holding a staff and was wearing a black cloak. He looked like in the middle of his 20's.
The Guildmaster, Bertolt was sitting on the corner of the field watching them train called the two of them.
They immediately went to Bertolt and asked what's wrong. They're both anxious for what is about to happen because everytime someone made a mistake, Bertolt calls them to be scolded and be punished later. And so, that's what they are expecting but, Bertolt has other reason.
He told them that if they'll succeed on the mission that he'll give, Bertolt will give them 1 Platinum coins each. Both if the adventurers were excited and confident thay they'll succeed.
And so, Bertolt give them his instructions and then they departed. Sieggen noticed that there is something wrong while having a session with Nymira.
"Wait!" He said, while stopping his movements.
Nymira also stopped and then asked him, "What's wrong Sieggen-san?"
"Nymira, have you seen my little brother today?"
"Uhm, that's right? He's nowhere to be found this afternoon. I was thinking that he's just slacking off? Am I wrong?"
"I don't know but that's weird, he's very serious when it comes to training. There's no way that he'll skip practicing." Sieggen replied.
Sieggen was approached by the two adventurers that Bertolt spoke to a while ago.
They told that Ferggen is about to cause a commotion at the Moonlight Inn. Bertolt already knew that Sieggen is a very good person, he both hated and liked that part of him. It's because he can't trust him if it comes to doing underhanded strategies. But can be trusted when it comes to his skills.
And so, Sieggen immediately cuts of his session with Nymira and went to where Ferggen is. He removed his armor only leaving his casual suit with him and then he quickly ran to the Moonlight Inn.
He didn't ran at full speed because if he did so, everything in his path would flew away due to the wind pressure. So he only ran slightly faster than a professional runner.
And when he arrived at the place, Ferggen was already trying to attack Verion.
He immediately step between them and stopped Ferggen.
•••
"Whoo!~" *panting! panting!
The two adventurers were catching up to Sieggen as he ran. "How can he ran that fast without even a slight difference on his breathing." That's what they said.
"Well I guess we've just arrived at the perfect time." The assassin with a short sword or more like a long dagger and wearing a hood said.
They saw Verion talking to Fianna and he was entering the Inn.
"Look! they're entering the inn!" The man with a staff who's job is called an enchanter which has support spells said.
The assassin then told the enchanter to cast a buff for him. So he used [ Hasten ] a buff spell that gives threefold of the users movement speed.
The assassin moved almost instantly and faced his dagger to Verion. He was anxious what would happen to him, he was told by Bertolt that he defeated the 8 assassins that he sent to kill him. But even after knowing that, he continued to move towards Verion's back. There was several thoughts flowing into his mind but he removed those unnecessary things and stabbed Verion.

Verion was going inside of the inn and then he noticed someone's mana is being used. That's when he thought that they're here to assassinate him, he acted that he didn't know and then he was approached by the assassin from his back and let himself to be stabbed.
The assassin was in bafflement, he was sure that the attack was successful, he knew that the plan was flawless, he knew that his timing was perfect, but.
"Why? Why didn't my dagger pierced you?" He said that on his heart, and then he asked in a loud voice, "Why? Aren't you a mage? You're supposed to have low physical resistance" he told Verion with a panicking voice. Anyone know that a mage is weak against physical attacks, and specially
"Hm, well I'm actually not a mage you know? Verion replied.
"Huh?" The assassin didn't understand and also the enchanter with him.
"Hey! Our plan was perfect right? I'm sure that we didn't mess up on your attack. Then why is that man still standing over there?" The enchanter said in surprise.
"Then, let's continue this somewhere else."
Verion turned around and faced them.
Verion activated two skills in succession.
[ God's Haste ]

[ Flash Step ]
And the three of them disappeared in the Empire.
Verion moved very fast that he went 10 kilometers away from the Empire without even the two of adventurers noticing that they were taken somewhere.
"Eh? What happened? What is this place? Where the hell are we?" That's the thoughts running on their mind after reaching the place.
"Then, let's start" Verion stated coldly.
"Huh?" The assasin was baffled when he saw his right arm falling to the ground. There was no pain he felt at first but after a few seconds he cried due to the tremendous pain.
"AAAAAHHHH!!" His face was full of tears and snot while crying in pain. His acquaintance, the enchanter didn't even have the strength to stand up.
The assasin asked for help but the enchanter can't move due to the fear filling up his body. He tried to stand up to help him but his legs won't listen to him.
He saw Verion approaching him but he can't react and then suddenly without his notice, his head was falling to the ground. "Why? It's too early for me to die you know? I'm sorry Father, Mother. I'll go on ahead first." Those words was running on his thoughts and then he lost his consciousness and so, he died.
"Why? Why? Why? Why is this happening to us? I shouldn't have took the mission from the Guildmaster and continued my daily life." The assassin said with full of regrets.
"Well it's your fault for doing things like this, well don't worry, I'll let you live." Verion smiled at him.
"Eh?"
"But first, you need to experience death kukuku!~" Verion beheaded him and his head flew out to the air.
•••
Verion went back to the Empires after a few minutes. Right now, he's with his two new NPC's. They're both looking younger than before and seems to look like a teenager like him. They have toned body but not too volumed.
"Droth...Syth"
"Yes! Verion-sama." They both answered simultaneously.
Droth was the assassin and Syth was the enchanter. And after they were turned into an NPC by Verion, they're now stronger than ever. That's because Verion used two of his Ancient grade materials, then used their body to customize them. Droth and Syth are now stronger than any of those Titanium rank adventurers in the Empire.
Droth has a reddish hair and wears a black outfit, he was holding a red dagger that came from a bone of a centipede, it was an Ultra Rare item that Verion gave to him. Legendary items are the highest grade items on the Empire, so Ultra Rare items are considered to be very strong for them.
Syth has an orange hair and also wears a black outfit, Verion gave him an Ultra Rare staff that came from a shadow shaman, it's a pseudo boss monster that learned buff and debuff skills. It's around level 230.
"You must call me Nii-san (big brother) if we're on a public place understood?" Verion told them coldly.
"Yes! Verion-sam--" Verion glared at them. "Yes! Nii-san" They changed their answer.
"We're all good then" Verion said while entering the inn.
Verion told the both of them before entering their room that tomorrow they'll register to the Guild as his younger brothers so that they can get to Orichalcum rank just like him. Verion was sure that Rando won't doubt them if they're his brothers.
•••
A beautiful morning has arrived, it's been a long night for Verion but, everything is going well with his plans. Verion stood up while the girls are still sleeping on his bed naked.
"I guess they've been waiting for me last night, since we didn't do any sexual activities in the past days." Verion muttered and then he prepared himself before going outside.
When he went out of his room, Droth and Syth were already outside waiting for him. Verion asked them if they waited long but they said that they've just arrived.
Both of their personalities are the same as Verion, and they're the exact opposite of Nezhia and Schneia. If the two girls are affectionate then the two boys are emotionless and cold. But all of them are loyal to Verion no matter what.
A few minutes later, Verion and the two boys arrived at the Guild. Verion left a message to Fianna to tell the girls to just catch up to them after they woke up. Last night when the they met with each other, Schneia, Nezhia, Droth and Syth. The two girls treated the two boys as their kouhai (junior) and acted as a good senpai (senior) to them.
The two boys heard everything last night due to their keen senses. Droth then said, "They acted like a good senpai in front of us like that, then how can they make voice like that? It makes me laugh."
Verion made the two boys without any drive to those things, that's because he learned his lessons from the girls. That'll make them interested to those things and then get distracted from their job, so Verion made them with no emotions nor feelings that only acts for their gains just like him.
"Shut it Droth, it'll be your fault if our senpai happens to attack us." Syth told Droth. They didn't sleep last night so they waited outside of Verion's room the whole time, and then made conversations using thought communication.
"Hey! Von-san! Where's those hot chicks with you? Did they left you? Glen asked Verion and the laughed loudly.
Veron then told him that the girls are still sleeping so he didn't disturb them. That Verion went to the Guild with his younger brother to make them register as an adventurer.
Verion then continued to walk until he reached the reception table, he met Kristen and told her to register his brothers as adventurers.
And just as expected, everyone from the guild was surprised by their level. Rando immediately went down to know what happened and then he was shocked just like everyone.
Name: Droth
Race: Human
Age: 18
Title: None
Job: Assassin
Level: 191
Name: Syth
Race: Human
Age: 17
Title: None
Job: Enchanter
Level: 188
And so, Rando approved Verion's suggestion that they'll be placed to Orichalcum rank immediately, he also stated that he won't make the two girls fight on the tournament. Instead he'll make the boys replace them and they'll continue to raise their levels to reach Adamantite rank before the tournament.
Everyone agreed because they didn't wanted to see the girls to be scratched during the batte. But Verion's reason is different, if the two girls happen to fight during the tournament, that'll make him look like using the girls as his meat shields. So he avoided that and allowed the boys to enter with him instead.
After that, the two girls arrived and then went to Verion's side. Verion told them that they won't be fighting at the tournament anymore. At first they didn't want to but Verion glared at them so they didn't have any choice but to do what Verion have told them.
Verion then now have a total of 5 people on his team now, so Kristen asked them what would be the name of his party and then he said.
"Hmm, The name of my party would be....
.

.
.
"Shainzack"
And then everyone was shocked because that's the name of the Emperor.
