After a few moments of being hugged by Silver, Guthix calmly parted from the mortal human. He understood that the young lad was deeply happy to meet him in the flesh, but the god felt so tired already from projecting an avatar across the void between universes to a world where magic was merely fantasy.

With the two no longer in a hug, the mysterious black-robed figure gave Silver a smile as if understanding the joy in his eyes upon seeing the naragi male. Even the most proficient gamer that was even remotely aware of the game lore knew that Guthix was one of the first gods ever to grace the world of Gielinor.

Guthix himself was known as the god of nature and balance in the world of RuneScape with some of his known believers being druids along with Juna, the snake which guards the Tears of Guthix below Lumbridge. What Guthix didn't know was that Silver himself believed heavily in his message of balance far more than most actual religions in the real world. Among most of the RuneScape playerbase, he was among those who called themselves "Guthixians."

(A/N: when I played RuneScape, I believed in both Guthix and Zaros more than the other gods. Screw the Saradomin and Zamorak bullcrap~)

"Well then," Silver began as he started to shake off the fanboyism he had for meeting one of his heroes. "I'd offer you tea, but I don't have any that might suit a god and a mysterious person. So, what brings you to me today?"

Normally, someone would be reaching for the nearest weapon they could get to ward off the intruders, but Silver was a bit more clever and understanding of the situation at hand than most. He knew that any mortal weapon wouldn't work on Guthix or this mysterious person despite his original fears. The only thing that would work on Guthix was the Spear of Armadyl itself or any of the weapons created by the Elder Gods, but he didn't have anything like that in his gaming room.

Unironically enough, like most gamers, his room was somewhat littered with various gaming stuff like posters from Destiny 2, toys from Star Wars and Harry Potter, books from RuneScape to Harry Potter, and much more. Where Guthix and the figure were standing, they got a good view of his entire room-making the naragi god a bit surprised that there was so much more than just a game this mortal enjoyed. Somehow, Guthix felt even more sure that this young lad was worth being his Guardian.

Clearing his throat a little, Guthix started to explain. "I am here to seek your help, young mortal. My world is without its Guardian due to events beyond my control and I hope you can help me correct this terrible thing."

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

"Sure," Silver responded without any more thought-shocking Guthix.

"W-what?" Guthix asked, startled.

Then Silver looked at Guthix dead in the eyes full of determination. "I've read stories like this before, Guthix. I know how this goes. A god or goddess comes to a mortal or a group of them and asks them to do some seemingly impossible task for them with a reward of their choosing upon completion."

After that and giving himself a moment of pause to let Guthix digest the information, he continued. "Well, the only thing I hope you can give me to help accomplish this task is a powerful System which can--"

"You will," the mysterious figure interrupted. "Upon being transmigrated into the world of Gielinor, you will bind with a custom System which will enable you to deal with any enemy you desire as well as interact with its people. Much like your avatar, you will be able to train skills up to level 99, 120, and the 200 million experience capacity, but this System will not exactly work like in the game itself."

Guthix nodded after the figure explained it a bit more.

"Will the game return to normal if I go and fix everything?" Silver asked.

Both of them nodded.

"Since the game itself is closely tied to its real version out in the cosmos, you will be able to return the game version back to normal. The issues related to the servers which run it will be corrected little by little as you complete the path of the World Guardian," the figure responded with an affirmative tone.

"Can I return-" Silver began, but was once again interrupted by the same figure.

"Yes, you can," the figure responded with a smile. "Upon reaching certain milestones, you can return back to Earth like you were logging out of the game itself though you can't use the World Gate on Gielinor to come back. Only the System you shall have will be able to do that, but there is a bit more."

Silver raised an eyebrow in interest.

He continued. "You will have access to the RuneScape Wiki to help you recall certain information about things from the game during your adventures. There won't be any kind of chat channels like in the game itself since you will always be talking to the people on Gielinor, but a form of direct messaging will be available for you so you can talk to Guthix or anyone you meet along the way. Some other features will have to be experienced once you get the System, but I can tell you that it will be difficult for you in the long run. You cannot trust everyone you meet on Gielinor since conflict will be inevitable."

Silver sighed since he realized that things will become incredibly difficult like turning everything up to Hell Mode, but instead of losing his determination, he only became more adamant to help save the world of Gielinor. With this in mind, he steeled himself and said the words which will begin his adventure.

"Alright then. Take me to Tutorial Island," Silver said with a fierce look of determination in his eyes.

Both the figure and Guthix were happy upon hearing this and Guthix waved his hand-triggering a War Teleport around Silver's body.

With that, Silver Tyr had left the world of Earth and started his adventures on the world of Gielinor.
