-Liz's POV-
After the whole fiasco of Reinard killing three guys and waiting in line to test our strengths, I was tired, not physically but more mentally. I am used to being given things on my command with no questions asked and not having to deal with minor stuff like this but I had to deal with it, for now at least.
Finally after an hour of standing in the line we get to the Physical Testing Site. I see a big burly man standing in the middle of what appears to be a Colosseum but on a small scale with seats surrounding the arena, likely for the judges who decide which rank an individual gets and for the audience to see.
As my name is called out by the burly man, I walk up to him.
"Lizandra right?"
"Yeah"
"So I will first explain the rules and then we'll start the match .First rule ,no battle to death type of shit, Second rule, using only your physical body with enhancements ,Third rule ,no cheating of any sorts or else you will be banned from joining Adventurers Guild of Las Vegas for 5 years, you got that?"
"Yes...and I'd like to quit here and now from this test" Although I did have a question when he said Adventurers Guild of Las Vegas which means there are other guilds too.
'I guess I'll have to make my own guild if I want to live freely. Maybe I can just reject signing the contract in this guild when they offer one.' As these types of guilds surely have some kind of death contract with their members.
"And why do you want to quit the test?"
"No reason and my friend would also like to quit."
"Fine go away but you'll have to give a 100 dollar compensation for taking our time" while gritting his teeth with a sharp tone to his voice, probably mumbling something along the line of why do I have to deal with these type of shits.
"Here take this" I immediately handed him a hundred dollar bill that Reinard had given me before and exited the Colosseum with Reinard in tow.
"Master why did you quit the test?"
"Change of plans Reinard, change of plans. Let's go to a hotel we have a lot to discuss now don't we?"
"That is true master"
We started heading in the direction of the hotel where Reinard had already booked our rooms. I think through the plans again as they will be very important in determining what role I will have to assume by the time they are implemented. As I finish rethinking my plans we arrive at a hotel which looks more like big corporate building rather than a hotel ,with the interior being a combination of black furniture ,silver walls and red floor carpets which gave it an aesthetic look ,that appeased the high paying customers. As Reinard had already booked our rooms we headed straight up to the 20th floor using the elevator, by the looks of it he had booked a rather expensive hotel by the living standards here.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
“Say, Reinard how much did it cost?”
“It was 5000 dollars only master.”
“So, 5000 dollars a week right?”
“No, it is a per day master.” After hearing this I was shocked because that was a huge amount as far as I can remember, around a person’s month end salary.
“How the hell did you even get that huge sum of money?”
“I killed a few criminals”. Saying this with a straight face and having no shame at all is just insane. I mean I knew he was the kind of person who would go to any length for me, but then again I have killed a lot more people than the criminals in this world.
“I see….just try to keep that to yourself and don’t tell anybody about these kinds of things other than me. It’ll cause a lot of issues for us.” The good thing is that we were already in the room while discussing this, so nobody heard him.
I look around the fancy room having the same aesthetic as the lobby of this hotel,filled with black furniture, silver walls and red floor carpets. The room has a lounge with a big ass television about 100 inches, two bedrooms with king size beds and even a kitchen. I sit on the lounge chair as Reinard also sits on the chair opposite to me, as this will be a very long discussion of our future in this world.
"Now, tell me what you learned from the people in this city?"
"Yes master, it all started 10 years ago which is exactly in the year 2014 when an asteroid of 500m had struck Earth, this created large scale disaster all across the world with many Continents merging with each other and few of them even sinking. This also led to a decrease in the population by 4 billion. The asteroid had a huge amount of mana in it , which started spreading rapidly and humans across the world obtained mana channels for the mana to flow through them allowing them to use magic. Then 5 years ago dungeons started spawning all across the world, which started dungeon breaks, meaning the mana in the dungeons increased to the point of it leaking outside and eventually the gates broke and all this hell became even more dangerous. Now the governments are trying to fortify all the cities across the entire world, to avoid what happened during dungeon breaks, there are adventurers in all cities now varying in the ranks from F to S. With every government having its own guild and the other guilds which are made by the adventurers. And there are no taxes for the adventurers so they are all loaded with money."
"So, it all happened at the same time as I left Earth. The disruption in the reality that brought me to Elanoir was the asteroid that struck Earth. Do you have any other information like the Underworld organizations of this world?"
"I do have those. Do you want me to go into details about them?"
"No...not now at least, we'll get there." I had created a barrier around the room which cancels all types of technology from listening to our conversation and also cutting the noise around us, essentially making us invisible.
"I want to tell you about our future plans for this world, mainly about destroying all the dungeons around the planet and erasing every single trace of monsters from this planet. I want you to keep earning money through whatever means you deem necessary and buy a guild for us and run it as a shadow master. This will help in building an army without the governments noticing us because building a huge army will cause lots of issues. I will explore a bit more around the cities and try to establish a merchant company to keep the funds coming in for our plans."
"Yes master but are you going to do the same thing that you did on Elanoir?"
"Ah...about that, I might as well do it now that you have so kindly reminded me of, Reinard." I recall my memories of the first few decades that I spent on Elanoir which were very gruesome but also became a lot more beneficial for me later on.
Things will finally get a bit more interesting from now on. I have to prepare a lot of things and start my fucking empire in this world.
"Reinard...take those things out, we will require them for the things we're gonna do, I'mma spice up a few things here and there to make this interesting"
"Yes Master, is there anything else you require me to do?"
"Hmm.....go rob a few people and give me all the money you have right now. I'll be going to L.A. and set up the merchant company there." I reply while thinking what I needed the most right now.
"Yes master" he handed me ten thousand dollars which he had earned (obviously from killing the criminals).
