After flying for 5 minutes, they landed in a small forest of tall bamboos. There were different kinds of cherry trees in bloom all around and it was a beautiful sight. Lily felt like she had ended up in the ancient Japan and looked around.

"It starts in 10 minutes so just meet us at that portal as we're going to make a quick strategy." Eskil said, pointing to a large round purple portal many meters ahead.

Lily nodded and walked around studying the area being careful not to go too far or she wouldn't be able to find her way back because it was easy to get lost here.

She saw a huge beautiful Japanese cherry tree and walked over to it. She loved flowers and especially all kinds of cherry blossoms and the Japanese ones were her favorite.

She lifted down a branch that was filled with small flowers and she smelled them. She was surprised that they bloomed in September because it was usually a spring festival in Japan.

"Pardon." said a man's voice suddenly.

When Lily heard him, she let go of the branch and turned around and at the same moment the branch tilted, and a bunch of cherry blossoms flew around her. It looked like she was surrounded by them, and it looked magical like taken out of a fairy tale book.

The man was mesmerized, and his cheeks flushed and his heart beat faster.

Lily couldn't see him because of all the cherry blossoms and some also flew into her mouth because there happened to be an annoying wind blowing past them. She flailed her arms and to get them away she spat them out of her mouth at the same time.

When she could finally see in front of her, she saw the man and her eyes widened in shock.

He was the insane man with Excalibur who wanted to kill her because she had stood outside his guild. She saw that had still radiated something negative and dangerous and she could see from his facial expression that he was confused.

She walked towards the portal but suddenly she felt him grab her right hand. She stopped and looked at him and asked, “Can you please let go.”

The man came back to reality and replied, “Sorry but you ran away last time. Are you still interested in joining my guild?”

Suddenly it occurred to Lily that he thought she was trying to join his guild, but she was just fascinated by the beautiful gold color and wondered how much it had cost to build it and if it was real gold.

"I'm too weak so even if I wanted to it would be impossible." she replied, turning around but as she tried to take a step, she heard him say, "I can make an exception because it's you."

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Lily looked at him and wondered why he insisted she join his guild.

Were they really that desperate to go around trying to persuade people?

She knew how big guilds advertised themselves, so she wasn't surprised by his action.

"Sorry but I'm not interested, and I have a boss I need to kill in a bit." and walked towards the portal where she saw Carl.

The man looked at her and wondered how she could find a party with her lvl. He had checked it earlier when she was looking at his guild.

He was about to chase her away but when he saw her from the front, he changed his mind and was speechless at how beautiful she was.

When Lily came to Carl, he looked surprised at her and at the man who was standing far from them.

"Where do you know him from?" he asked surprised because it was hard to generally get near that man unless you were Ezekiel or Acer and even that goddess had a hard time.

He hated women and everyone knew about his personality.

"He's a stalker." Lily replied, pouting.

It wasn't even a lie because she had bumped into him earlier and now, he was standing here, and it was definitely not a coincidence.

After a few minutes everyone appeared, and Lily looked around and suddenly saw a lot of people standing close in groups. Her eyes accidentally fell on the stalker as she looked around. When he noticed her looking at him, he looked over at her.

Why the hell is he staring at me, she thought annoyed and immediately looked away.

He was shameless enough to go around recruiting people for his guild.

"William, what are you looking at?" asked a woman with red hair standing next to the man.

She was wearing a long red dress and she had a wooden staff in her right hand. She had shoulder length red hair and brown eyes, and her class was Sorcerer. She was tall, slim, and petite and was a beautiful woman, but she radiated something aggressive.

When the man heard her, he ignored her and still looked at Lily who was standing talking to her party.

"It doesn't look like you to be interested in your surroundings." said a woman walking up to them.

She was wearing a thigh-length green dress with long sleeves that looked a bit like the clothes Tinkerbell was wearing. She had a white flower in her hair and white gloves and a pair of white shoes that looked like her feet were in flowers. She had a big red bow on her back and her hair was long and brown and put up in a ponytail. She wore white pearl earrings and had a friendly smile and pale skin.

"When does it start Calista?" asked the man, looking at her.

"In 2 minutes. Get Ready." she answered.

Eskil looked at Lily and at the man and woman named Calista and was surprised that she knew them.

"I'll add you to our party now." he said.

Lily was excited when she heard that:

Eskil has asked if you want to join his party 'YES' 'NO'

She clicked YES immediately and smiled.

"Look. There is such a low lvl. I didn't think one existed.” said a woman's voice.

Lily pretended not to hear them and wished she could see her so she could curse her to a painful death.

“They can't handle it with her. Just wait for them to be wiped. They can't beat anyone on the rank list.” said a man.

Lily only heard the rank list and looked at Eskil and asked, "Is there a rank list?"

"Since you are new, you don't know anything. This dungeon has a time limit, and we have tried to get on the top 100 rank list because it gives some advantages to one's class.” answered Eskil.

Suddenly she heard a system sound:

“Lord Diablo has awakened.”

"Come on let's go inside." Carl said, smiling at her.

She followed them and they went to the round purple portal. Eskil stuck his hand into it and suddenly they all disappeared.
