The next day he was exhausted, he overslept and had only three hours before the reporters arrived.
He logged into the game and went for Allastar, He only had to wait for a call from the director, He went for a walk to collect some souls but in the middle of it message appeared.
-Your Allies in Destros are under attack-
He left Allastar thinking that it won't take long to take care of the matter in Destros.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Destros
In Destros there was a full out war between the Land raiders and the Clear waters, a much bigger guild with at least 1000 players.
Darknym appeared in the lab went out disregarding the buglings and went out of the lab's door. A bullet, hit his head as he came out but he disregarded it since his pain resistance was at master now. he walked as if nothing happened as the machineguns were trying to fill him with lead.
"Must be a robot or a cyborg, use the lightning staffs!"
At least ten lightnings struck him raising his constitution for a little, he faked that he was malfunctioning or something doing a stupid robot dance.
"He's mocking us, don't use lightnings, try a grenade"
"Wait doesn't it say Darknym over his head?"
"What of it, we are not in Allastar, here he is just another nobody like the Land raiders guild who are hiding inside their barricades, and we don't even know if it's the same person"
Darknym now begun sprinting towards them and as he was about to reach them, a call from the director came.
"The reporters are at the gate waiting for you"
"Alright I'll be right there"
He said and logged out.
The Land raiders and clear waters were a bit surprised when Darknym's Destros character Just collapsed without a reason after a short while.
Landlady looked at her clock seeing it was 3o'clock. She cursed the day and time she agreed to ally with him, the Clear waters on the other side hit him with all they got.
----------------------------------------------------------
Allastar
He was back in Allastar, in the middle of a forest where a monster was hitting him, just scratching at his magic shield.
He teleported to the gates of the City where 40 reporters were awaiting him.
"So who of you are the ones joining and who are the ones for the video crew"
Only one person raised her hand, although he could see her unwillingness to join his guild.
"It can't be Nancy the celebrity of the channel wants to join my guild, is this a hoax"
"Shove it, its in my contract that I must gather Information from a guild and I'm the only one no guild wants, since I'm too low level for them to gain anything"
"Don't mind I'm not that high level myself"
All the shrunk their faces in disbelief.
He Invited Nancy into the guild and invited them into his party so that they could enter the city safely, he teleported them in the city and said.
"Here is the commoner's quarter, to say the truth I wasn't expecting so many people so I have only twenty passage rings for you, at the time, the director sure did a shitty job not informing me of your numbers, well since Nancy is part of my guild she doesn't need one but the rest will need to stay in a party with at least one person who has a ring"
He gave them some bronze rings called rings of passage, they allowed them passage inside the city and through the Inner gates but not the outer ones.
"You can explore the city for a bit as I have something to do in Destros, call me if something happens"
he teleported to the tower and left for Destros
----------------------------------------------------------
Destros
He woke up next to a scorched land, still being filled with bullets and swords and axes hitting him from all sides.
He use astral grasp to get someone closer to him and drained him of his life force.
"He's a mutant!"
Someone shouted stupidly, as if they hadn't figured it out already.
The one he now was holding was almost drained of Hp and he quickly grabbed another one.
He saw someone using a strange burning spear against him, at the moment he didn't know that it was a ki attack.
"He's some sort of tank, our attacks don't even break through his defense"
In reality it was the opposite it was his Hp that was too high so that it made it look like he took no damage at all, they would need a laser gun to see a small change.
Their leader the player Water Joe, had a strange gun that looked like a fat shotgun, he shot once with it and a small blast of beams like a shotgun shot Darknym backward, they could see a small 1% decline in his Hp happening at the time. going from 49% to 48%, three minutes of shooting and stabbing were only worth so much.
"So you decided to become a tank in Destros, what a waste of time, you could..."
He was about to say something but was awe struck when he saw Darknym's speed, he was fast, he had been running here and there from his spawn point to the hangar many times making his speed somewhat faster than a normal players, he was probably among the fast ones inside the game, of course it wasn't superhuman it was just fast.
The Clear waters used a smoke bomb but he could see right through it he grasped with his astral hand clear Joe and begun draining him, after pushing his gun aside and hugging him in a bearhug of death by gene assimilation.
The others could not see it but Water Joe and three others were tuned into gene material for him to assimilate not even leaving a corpse behind.
Darknym got a message from allastar.
He logged out and went back to Allastar.
---------------------------------------------------------
Allastar
In Allastar the reporters were surrounded by the townspeople who were pleading them to save them,
"At least buy the children, they will have a better life away from this accursed city"
"Buy me I'm only worth 2golds from your world"
"I'm worth one"
The reporters were lost in terror
'What has he done with this city, for the people to sell themselves just to escape it'
Nancy sent a message for help as the town people wouldn't let them go.
When he appeared she shouted at him.
"What have you done for those people to act like that?"
She shouted at him in rage.
"I just taught them how the world works, did they ask you to buy them or something?"
She nodded not understanding what he was saying.
"Its 100 bucks to free one of them out of the city, it's not a big deal"
He said laughing as if it was normal
"Are you crazy 100bucks just to free an Npc, you can buy your own Npc with that money and even customize their appearance"
Said a reporter dissatisfied with the price.
The town people dispersed instantly after hearing him say that with sad faces and some with angry glares. Another reporter hit the one who spoke lightly irritated.
"But its the truth, would you pay to free and Npc from a computer city?"
He complained and the other reporters just looked at him with a sad glare silently.
"You what's your name?"
Darknym asked
"Handy"
Said the rowdy man, who had probably selected a Drogan barbarian as a starting race.
"Handy would you like to join my guild?"
He said with a smile but the reporter refused thoroughly.
"I'm of the same opinion everything you see around you is just a program, the main reason is to have fun, will you be sad for eating the ghosts in pacman or stomping a goomba in super mario?"
"But they are Npcs not monsters"
said someone
"Can they attack you?"
Asked Darknym in reply.
"Yes, but only if you do something bad"
The reporter answered proudly
"And entering a monster's home and killing him is good but entering an Npc's is bad, you have a strange mindset"
The reporters were lost in though.Darknym let the discussion go and said.
"I'll let you explore the city, this is the commoners section so just follow the road to the classes section where the stores are"
"didn't you end your job in Destros yet?"
"Well there are some complications with a small guilds war nothing that can't be solved with a little time"
"Wait there's no major guild war in Destros today"
Said a reporter.
"I didn't say it was a major event its just a squabble between two minor guilds"
"Can't your guildmates take over, we have no one to guide us around"
Another reporter complained.
"You there!"
Darknym shouted to a guard
"Guide them through the city or die!"
He said and teleported before logging out of Allastar once more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Destros
He woke up once more rained by bullets, his Hp was no at 44% and he was no longer approached by the enemy players, he could see them focusing their attention on the Land raiders guild who were almost out of the picture. Darknym now charged at the Clear waters, he didn't know why but the fire spear guy used his spirit spear, it was strange, but he charged at him first.
He felt a strange tingle that did almost nothing but just in case he looked at his status only to see no debuffs at all.
"He's resistant to psychic abilities"
He heard a woman shout to the spear guy who swiftly retreated towards the higher grounds.
Darknym didn't pursue, he just cleaned up those that were near the lab and in range of the Land raiders HQ.
The clear waters had retreated for the time being, leaving tons of spoils and only four Land raiders alive.
"You did a great job out there"
Landlady said to him
"Sure"
He said sarcastically
"At first we thought you had logged out but then you begun moving like crazy, killing at least 20 of their guys and then you begun acting like a slowpoke again and then..."
"Ah that, it's the indiscriminate slaughtering berserk that takes effect when I'm unconscious"
She was a bit disappointed with the word Indiscriminate, that meant that he would have killed even them if they had went to help him or even approached him carelessly.
"I'll go to the lab now and leave for Allastar, those reporters can't do anything without me"
He said with a smile as he turned around
"Sure"
She said as she looked at him rush towards the Lab. It was as if they had awakened some ancient monster from its tomb or something.
--------------------------------------------------------
Allastar
As he entered Allastar and went to where the reporters were he heard them talking.
"Did you see the video of the Clear waters, they say they got owned by a monster, some say that it was Darknym"
A blur of sounds begun after which he couldn't make ends meet what they were saying as they were all talking at the same time.
"Aren't the Clear waters 1000members strong?"
And another flurry of pure noise pollution
"Wait they are saying they will be uploading their videos of the fight"
They were again saying stuff at the same time, until one of them spotted him.
"Looks its him"
He cried the whole group charged at him, Is it true that you just single handedly took out half the clear waters group.
"I don't know since I wasn't there all the time, I had to go between the two worlds to make sure that you guys don't get lost or killed by some rogue in my city, it would give me a bad name"
He said as he laughed somewhat embarrassed.
"But lets go to the main point, today will be the fight for Gloom, the Ork giant, I'll be fighting with Zeiseg so you won't need too much protection"
"So where will we be staying while Inside the city"
"Wait I will find Just the right place for you all to stay"
He used his clairvoyance and found a good looking Inn and teleported them there. It was closer to the last gate and away from the slums and the rich shopping area. He nodded them to follow him, The inside was quite nice and the Owner. The owner of the Inn was William and Despina who to tell the truth weren't too happy to see him.
"39 of your best rooms for 10months, I will be paying in front"
"but we are 40"
said one of the reporters
"Nancy is a member of my guild so she will be staying at the tower"
She looked at him a bit afraid since the last time she had entered the Tower was the time of the siege.
"Oh yes, do you have the mage profession Nancy?"
She nodded a yes without talking.
"Great less time teaching more time doing, I should give you a gift as your new guildmate and as a member of my guild I can't let you being a weakling"
After saying that he looked though his Inventory and took out three rings and handed them to her.

She was left dumbfound by the abilities of the three rings but was a little puzzled as well.
"What is the one ring?"
She asked.
"Haven't you seen lord of the rings?"
He showed he a golden ring around his finger.
"A webbing ring, don't they need to be two?"
she asked without an inch of embarrassment, she simply didn't know the story.
"Well I'm sure we can discuss that some other time, we have only two hours to make another nineteen rings and to do something about your appearance"
"What's wrong with my appearance!"
She shouted at him, she wore a cute little dress and shoes, looking like a porcelain doll.
"We'll talk about it inside the tower"
He teleported them both to his palace.
"Servants we need a room for my newest guest!"
He shouted and a butler and a maid came forth.
"She will need a tour of the palace and a room to stay, just make sure the rooms are empty when you show her around, Venariel has been a bit naughty lately"
He said to the servants who were now taking her away.
"If you want anything guild chat me!"
he shouted to her as she was taken away by the servants.
Darknym went to the magical lab to create more rings not that it would take too long since the rings were simply to allow them passage. But he also created 39 other rings with a great magical shield, although he would have to recharge them after the shield is drained out, for Nancy he made an earring seeing that she wore some small pearl on her ear.
One hour had passed, they only had half an hour left before the fight with Zeiseg.
================================================================
Nancy POV
The Director gave her a last chance, her numbers are falling because of her foolishness of making her character a gnome, the only reason that she didn't want to delete the character was because she was an Archon cook and although she could use the last wish to change her race with many gains but she had spent too much of her own real world money to develop her skills as a cook and she probably wouldn't reach it again if she did.
Although that was before her becoming an In-game correspondent so it was fine at the time being, but then her in-game character was shown. At first everyone thought it cute, a gnome with her face but later people begun losing Interest in her, that's the way Bob came into the picture, they were the knight and the small princess.
Although Bob had more fans than her since his character was as handsome as him himself. Truth was Darknym's video of her made her popularity flare once more, for a little. This was a chance to become a solo correspondent but she was given three Objectives.
First was to find how Darknym got his in-game fortune and magical powers.
Second Map the Tower(labyrinth) so that their Alliance could take over the city.
Third enter his guild and take anything she can and give it to the director.
They had gathered in front of the city and were waiting for Darknym to appear. He was a little late, or they were just early she didn't care less. He asked who would join his guild, it was a great opportunity to accomplish some of her objectives, she lifted her hand as she left her old guild at the same time. She said some stupid stuff about no guild wanting her, but in reality she was in one of the VIP guilds for celebrities in the Isleplains "The Famous" and she lost that to enter "The Worst" a guild with only two members, one of whom was she herself and the other the guild master.
She could cry just thinking about it but she held her fist clenched as she thought of he future benefits.
He gave them some rings and left for Destros saying that he had some business there. She looked at the guild's status seeing that it was only level 62 and had 61 unallocated buff points, and swallowed in despair.
He must have been around level 610 since she was level 10 and since she was always protected by guildmates from "the Famous" she hadn't cared for such things as battles and levels. The famous had only buffs that helped them at finding more stuff at stores and better stuff at stores, but it was a 10000levels guild with lots of players who worked
as mercenaries.
The thing was Nancy was a little too caught up in the game she used a fortune to buy gold coins in the different sites. She wasn't the only one, everyone in "the Famous" did so but the problem was in-game gold only became more and more expensive. That was one of the reasons everyone was interested in Darknym's secret, as he had bought a whole mountain, that would have cost him a fortune in real world money. So that means he had found the goose that lay him golden eggs.
In moments after he had left the townspeople begun gathering around them they looked terrified and afraid they said some nonsensical stuff but the message was clear it was a cry for help.
She send him a message to return and told him a piece of her mind but then it appears that everyone was thinking in the same way as him only not as extremely as he did it. It was true after all that it was only a game, but he somehow twisted his words to make his own morals look more plausible.
He called them a guard and left once more, he said something about a guild war in Destros,
'I only hope he isn't a scavenger, my guild the clear waters had said something about attacking some guild today'
She hoped deep inside somewhat afraid that he might be in one of those raider guilds.
They didn't even reach the next gate and one of the reporters got some news from his guild, a large guild on Destros was forced to retreat or something. She almost had a heart attack, when she heard from her guild that Bob retreated and her guild lost the fight against a small 120 members large new found guild but the most striking revelation was that they had found Darknym in Destros, just a few meters further from their HQ.
Most of the reporters asked her about further details, knowing that she was part of the losing guild, they even asked her if they had a video of the battle, she messaged Bob and he said he had the best shots although he was sorry for losing, Merry said she was unable to use her mental attack for some reason, but he said that the guild would uplink the full battle.
Darknym had returned someone said. They saw him and stormed him with questions he didn't seem too cooperative, must be outside his contract.It was true, the Director disregarded his Destros character because Destros was one of the least interesting places, as only the new order and mutants had something to do, the Industrials just enjoyed the game inside their underground bunkers, while the scavengers were fighting amongst themselves. The only exciting events of Destros was the strange mutant that only appeared once, an A.I. going crazy beginning to kill the residents of the bunker and making them into robots and the New order hunting for a mutant on the surface of Destros to delete his character, he could of course return as a descendant but they don't know if he did or not since they didn't know his name.
Darknym took them to the Inn they would be staying and said that she would be staying at the tower, She was a bit nervous since the tower was her goal from the start. He said something about magic and gave her three rings with extremely overpowered enchantments, she didn't know to give them to the director or not, she did have a good justification to keep them of course. If he wanted her to stay under cover he would have to concede her the rings or at least the Archmage's gift that gave Mp regeneration, a dream of any mage character. Her last profession was that of a mage but she had only taken it in order to use magical cooking utensils.
He teleported them to the tower but...
'where's the labyrinth?'
They were in some sky palace, she could see the clouds all around the palace, from the windows he send two servants to show her to her room and give her a tour, she would make the whole tour into a video for the director, he did say to map the tower and this was probably the top of the tower.
"Are you the newest one?"
Asked a rather rude and slutty girl younger than her.
"No, I'm..."
She was about to say a guest.
"you don't seem to be his type, so you're probably a guest, look not to get on Mr. Moneybag's bad side he gets angry if you get too greedy, mother was a fool to think she could steal his most treasured possession"
She was Velarial and she was just looking for someone to talk.
"You two can stop escorting her I will show her around myself, her room's probably the first room after the corridor"
"Are you also a guest?"
Nancy asked surprised.
"I'm his wife"
Nancy was left speechless at the answer, she didn't know he was married. Of course she had a slight suspicion that she could be an Npc but most Npcs acted only their role, she on the other side looked free and even badmouthed Darknym openly.
"Are you a player?"
Nancy asked
"Ah you also like kinky stuff, the others say that I'm a pervert because I like doing such things the other day Moneybags caught me on the action and just laughed, I know he also likes stuff like that"
"I wanted to ask if you were an Adventurer but I think you have answered that already"
"Wow you must be the first adventurer he brings to the palace, what a surprise I thought that he wasn't Interested in other adventurers"
"Let's say it's for mutual gains"
She said with a somewhat unconfident voice.
"Don't take me the wrong way but if he has allowed you here it's probably only for his own amusement, although I have to say he knows how to do business, yesterday he brought a dragon to the harem as his fourth wife, I think"
"Does he have a harem?"
She asked in surprise.
"Oh I completely forgot to Introduce myself I'm Veralial, the boss in this palace when Moneybags is away, you can call me boss"
"Okay boss"
She said laughing inside.
"Now let's go, I'll show you around and Introduce you to the others, how did we say you are called"
"Nancy, boss"
She said giggling.
"I like you Nancy, you and I will stick together like glue"
And got closer to her, giving her a strange eerie feeling.
"Now let's first go to your room since you will be spawning there from now on"
She took her to a room that looked better than her former guild's room.
"If you need anything just call the servants, the palace has I don't even know how many servants, each day I see different servants as they change shifts almost daily"
"Don't you feel like a prisoner here?"
"You lost me sister, do you even know how women live in our world, we stay in our homes almost our entire lives, now I'm staying in a palace with servants and have unlimited funds and can buy and do whatever I like"
"So you aren't a prisoner, but if he has a beautiful woman like you why does he needs other women"
"Why do I or you need a second pair of shoes or dresses we shall never wear, because they are beautiful on us and made us feel better just knowing that we have them and can wear them anytime we like"
Velarial came closer and a message popped up
-Would you want to have sex with Velarial-
Nancy surprised and in disgust pushed -No-
"And here I thought we could be friends"
Velarial said a bit disappointing.
"Well lets continues our tour of the place"
Velarial said and took her hand guiding her outside once more, she took her down the stair and said.
"to the front is the throne room, it's a stupid empty room with only a throne, to the right is the Harem tower where you can find me if you need me and to the left is the dining room, which I redecorate each week. those doors next to the throne room will take you to the garden, I don't dislike flowers but I hate bugs, up are the guestrooms and behind me is the exit, although I doubt you will want to leave after you see what this place has to offer"
Velarial said and dragged her towards the dining room.
"What? Why are there two more sofas than needed, servants!"
She called for the servants to take away the sofas and bring them something to munch.
Nancy saw a violet woman with green hair sitting on one of the sofas.
"That is Takako, the dragon I told you about, she's nice to talk to but is too conservative for my tastes"
Takako the violet dragon queen turned and looked at the two of them, seemingly she was annoyed by the noisy human.
"Hi Takako, this is Nancy she is an Adventurer like Moneybags although she's a little"
She pointed at her hands to her head pointing that she was a bit crazy.
"What do you mean I'm a little!"
Screamed Nancy in response.
"Get out of here if you are going to fight, you are ruining my midday nap"
Takako said giving them a threatening glare.
'scary'
Nancy though seeing Takako's eyes flaring and in the next instance both, first the gnome and then the beauty left the room running for their lives.
"That was fun, you should have seen your face when her eyes were struck on you, you run away as if you had fire on your hair"
Said Velarial laughing
"You say as if you know how someone with fire on her hair runs"
Nancy said with disdain
Velarial just looked at the ceiling whistling
"Did you really set someone's head on fire"
Nancy asked panicked.
"A few times"
Velarial said with a small smirk on her face trying not to laugh at Nancy's surprised face.
"Lets go to the garden next, I'm sure Yu will be there she's always there, she's my only friend here in the Palace and she's quite funny"
Velarial dragged her to the garden through one of the two gates, the garden was enormous, There were many fields for different sports and there was also a pond and a maze.
"Over here!"
Shouted Velarial taking her deeper into the garden. They climbed up a very big hill, on top of which was a girl standing on one leg in a karate gi, her head shaved and her breasts were seemingly too large for her gi to fully cover.
"Is she Yu?"
"Nah, she is she"
Answered Velarial
"Just kidding, she's Yu, my dear friend"
Velarial said and rushed to hug her but Yu with a fast almost instant movement to the back avoided her hug, Velarial then sidestepped and a game of cat and mouse begun until Velarial was too exhausted to continue.
"Do you also like it here?"
Asked Nancy
"No and No,I may hate that cruel and indifferent nature of his but I still owe him for taking revenge for my father, I won't help you map the tower"
"How?"
"I'll help you"
Said Velarial as she charged at Yu pinning her to the floor and tickling her, she could have sworn she saw her put her hand inside the gi for a moment but Yu was providing ample resistance to whatever Velarial was trying to do, until smoke begun rising from Yu's body.
Velarial quickly retracted her hand and rushed to Nancy, lifting her off the ground and running away from the hill. Nancy could see a small mushroom like flame coming from the top of the hill.
"So you want to map the Tower, that's a funny hobby, but it might be fun, you know we can Ask Theo to come as well, She's been looking for a way to escape since forever"
"Who is Theo?"
"The first Girl of the Harem, she was here before me but all she talks about if Fayte this and Fayte that"
"What's Fayte"
"An adventurer, whom Moneybags used to beat even before he became a mage and her disciple at blade dancing, from what I heard he's an Idiot that doesn't knows when to give up, he is going to challenge moneybags in 10months before the whole tower goes to hell"
"What!"
Shouted Nancy with a face full of surprise and a trace of fear.
"Oh, this is a secret, but the truth is that only the tower will leave to the demon realm, the city will stay here under Lightnym's control"
"Who is Lightnym?"
"Ah, you're no fun, lets go find Theo she's probably in the jacuzzi room"
"What!"
Shouted Nancy in surprise,
'how can the Npc know what a jacuzzi is?
how can even a jacuzzi exist?
is she a player in disguise?'
These and millions other questions came to her mind, as Velarial dragged her away, gromes are so small that she was only as as big as her waist, like a small child.
Velarial took her to the harem tower, it had at least 20 floors with all kinds of luxuries and even an elevator. It made her doubt how great "the Famous" guild really was since they did not allow low status members like herself into their more luxurious Installations.
"We are here"
Said Velarial as they entered a room with 16 smaller and one large jaccuzi. In the large one she could she a blonde head at one corner of it. She saw Velarial sneaking behind her and do something to the jaccuzi, and bubbles begun popping out of the water.
"Velarial!"
Theo shouted and just realized that Nancy was standing nearby.
"Velarail who is this, a new addition to his collection, I didn't have him for a pedophile"
Velarial now naked entered the tab sitting next to her and said.
"This is Nancy a guest, she's an Adventurer and her hobby is mapping, she wants to map the whole Tower"
Theo begun laughing out loud.
"Sorry for laughing at your dream but the whole tower, that's just funny, you do know that the Tower has 70floors above ground and another 70bellow, even thinking about it is funny, well if you are an adventurer you probably won't be staying in the tower long enough anyway"
"Wait, Theo it's not a dream, it's a hobby, she could always just ask for the plans if she wanted to know what's inside, I doubt anyone's so stupid as to try to map something already mapped by others "
Said Velarial giving a relieved cry of satisfaction as the bubbles caressed her body.
"By the way Nancy is there any special reason for you being here, because if you are thinking that you can rip him off, I would advice against it"
Said Theo sincerely concerned about her safety.
Nancy was a bit more interested in the four Npc's stories, since they all have some background with Darknym.
"Are you just going to stand there?"
Asked Velarial.
Nancy felt ashamed for a second but then again she felt stupid, they were Just Npcs. She took off her little clothes and entered the Jaccuzi.
"See it's much better in the warm water"
Said Velarial still eating her with her gaze.
"Well are your plans...Not there...Velarial...stop it"
Begun Theo but was then harassed repeatedly by Velarial who put her hands in strange places.
Nancy didn't know to speak or not but she didn't want to spend her time mapping the Tower, it was a chore not a hobby.
"Can you keep a secret?"
She said while whispering.
"I love secrets!"
Exclaimed Velarial.
Nancy wasn't sure to speak or not but seeing as she had no way of asking Darknym to give her the plans of the tower she would have to ask one of the four Npcs in the Tower for them.
"Well I can vouch for myself, as I hate Darknym's guts but if it's something that will threaten our well being don't even bother talking about it"
Theo seemed to also be interested in what Nancy had to say, but didn't trust Nancy yet, she was a gnome after all, a distant cousin of the Dwarves.
"Velarial, can you also vow not to say anything?"
Asked Nancy while looking around for any prying ears.
Velarial just nodded a few times and came closer with a pop up message.
-do you want to have sex with Velarial-
Nancy pressed -No- once more
Velarial puffed a little and went back at teasing Theo.
"Well the truth is I'm a spy sent on a suicide mission, my alliance needs info so badly that they had me infiltrate his guild to get three things"
"Stop, I'm not interested anymore, I want my peace of mind as I await for Fayte, he will come for me and then we may live happily ever after"
Theo stood up and left.
"I could help you but it will cost you, well if you will die anyway you probably won't mind"
Giggled Velarial.
Nancy was perplexed, she was no noob to love but she wasn't keen on sleeping with everyone, she had two boyfriends with whom she broke up because she found them cheating on her, the first was a model in the same model agency as her and the next was her manager at the time being. From there on she had no more sexual relationships and in reality was looking for a stable relationship and a good husband.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself"
She stated while getting out of the bathtub
"I only hope It doesn't slips out from someone, it would be a huge loss, not having a single ally inside the Tower"
Said Velarial
"You vowed, you wouldn't tell"
Complained Nancy alerted by the Npc's treacherous statement.
"I don't remember did I say something like that, but chill out It's just a deal, you will act as my slave and I will give you all the info and I will act on your behalf, you won't even need to fear of dying, I know him better than any of the other girls if you amuse me I'll make sure that not only your alliance can win but I can even smuggle away something that is essential for them to do so"
Velarial said with a wicked smile.
"And what can one such as you provide an Alliance of 100000 players"
Nancy said with a belittling tone of sarcasm.
In Velarial's hand appeared a gold coin
"The funds to march"
Another coin appeared
"buy better equipment"
A third one appeared
"buy skills"
A forth appeared
"maybe even buy a town or two"
She made the coins disappear at the end.
Nancy snorted and said
"Hah, you probably didn't know yet but I have joined his guild so I probably have some allowance or something, money is no problem for me anymore"
"And what's your allowance?"
Velarial asked with a smile on her face.
"10gold coins a week and can borrow as much as 100gold at any given time of my choice"
She said, in truth that was a huge sum even for "The Famous" who offered 1 gold as allowance to their members each real world week, so it was considered a luxury guild, 1 gold being 50bucks was a great expense to provide gold for the 10000, VIP members of the guild, although it was something of a small extra since they all were filthy rich anyway.
Velarial laughed at the sum bend her waist and whispered to her ear.
"I'll give you one million"
Nancy was dumbfounded, with one million if she just sold it she could easily gain 50 million real life money, although it would Instantly drop the price of in-game gold, but she couldn't have cared less by that time.
Velarial could see her uncertainty in her eyes and whispered once more.
"one billion and you forget all about your former alliance and become my slave"
Nancy fell on her knees, being given a large mental attack.
A Party message popped up. In 5 minutes everyone group up in front of the Inn, we are leaving for The Event.
Nancy recollected herself and begun putting her clothes on, since the wet condition wore off quite fast in the game. Velarial seeing her sudden change in behavior went back into the water.
"The offer stands, anytime you like, all you have to do is say the yes and all the doors can open for you"
Velarial said and closed her eyes relaxing in the now silent water.
Nancy left the Harem tower and found Darknym waiting for her near the exit of the palace.
"You sure took your time"
He said with a smile on his face trying to be friendly.
"Women need more time than men, do kindly remember that in the near future"
A bit mad since five minutes weren't a lot of time to begin with, and she did have to dress up properly.
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
He just laughed and teleported them away since they were 12seconds late. Darknym likes to be as punctual as possible, getting easily irritated when he's going to be late for something or by unexpected situations.
Darknym and Nancy appeared in front of the Inn, only 18 of the reporters were present making Nancy a bit Angry.
========================================================================
Reporters' POV
They waited for another few minutes for all 39 reporters to gather. Darknym gave each of them another ring and an earring that she didn't like to Nancy. They only had one ability and that was an elemental shield with an awe inspiring durability of 12/100million damage each. Nancy's earring was something even more unbelievable, it had 12millions out of 100trillions and even offered a minor resistance to elemental and physical attacks. It had taken him most of the time just to charge the rings up to 12millions since the shield could only be charged at a 60mp/sec rate. Of course he charged all the rings at the same time otherwise it would have taken him days to charge them.
With the rings on they could probably survive 12 attacks from any 500levels player, which is the unofficial level cap of the game.
"Wait just a few moments for me to find where The event will take place since I don't know where the ork is"
"Watalock's cliff"
Said a reporter.
"And that is?"
Asked Darknym a bit confused.
The Reporter showed him a map of the orkish mountains and pointed at a small Jagged part of the map.
Darknym teleported them all there, It was a sandy beach overlooked by a gigantic cliff in the distance. They could see the Ork warlord without his Armor sitting on top of the cliff and a small orkish village at the distance.
The reporters begun taking their places irritating the Giant ork since most of them were different races but his eyes were still locked on Darknym.
They could see a smile form on the ork's face as he took out of his gear and equipped it, Darknym took off his mask, his name was now hidden due to the spy profession, until he did the first attack it would remain so, Darknym knew that the mask would not withstand the punishment although it was also the first time the reporters could see his face, some of them even recognized him instantly, Nancy included.
"I came for the second Round and this time I'll be taking Gloom away with your approval"
The reporters were still little shocked shocked but there were 40 reporters all around, Nancy felt a bit awkward as she had to commentate on what was happening behind her.
Everything happened fast, Zeiseg jumped from the cliff crushing on Darknym's passive shield. Darknym disappeared in the thick smoke and teleported outside it, he did so only for the reporters. The battle was seemingly heading in Zeiseg's favour as he pushed Darknym towards the cliff. Darknym had only punched him on the leg one or two times, while another ten Zeiseg blasted him here and there all over the beach.
Zeiseg seemed happy for some reason, the reporters could not have known.It was the first time in all the years of Allastar's release that he had an opponent worthy of fighting since most times it ended in one or two hits.
Darknym suddenly took out of his inventory a crooked ceremonial knife, with the demon head on it's hilt.
============================================
Dagger of sleeping demon
(combat knife with protector)
Quality - uncommon
attack - 40-60
durability - 20/20
Physical enhancements
Magical enchantments
100 agility bonus
100 speed bonus
100 reflexes bonus
casts sleep on hit
casts nightmare on hit
casts stamina drain
requirement class mage
==============================================
The ork was a bit more careful now not to approach him carelessly, but Darknym just charged without a care in the world, his magical shield had long been crushed by Zeiseg's hits but his endurance, constitution and strength were now legendary not to speak about his new skill after becoming a Dragon Ancestor.
"Greater health regeneration"
It was a really broken skill that regenerated 1% of his total Hp per second,
it was like cheating. But Zeiseg's blows took at least 10% with each blow,
he would have long killed him if he hadn't another skill.
"Ancestor Dragon skin"
Offering him 50% resistance to all physical damage and conditions like bleed,cripple etc.
Meaning he would normaly have been taking 20% with each blow if he was a human or some other playable race. Darknym's Eyes were shining red as he was charging towards the Ork, the ork's eyes shone blue as the two clashed in midair and darknym was blasted away.
A few seconds after the clash the ork fell down to the ground, screaming as if he was being tortured. The dagger being stuck on his arm, made him take a small damage from it but the effects of sleep and nightmare became evident to all. Normally it would just cause a small haze feeling when it hit someone, as if he was closing his eyes for a second or seeing a hallucination but being a knife that was intended to inflict extreme pain as it entered the body, and with the bosses' extreme healing powers, being Immortal doesn't mean he doesn't lose Hp, He just can't lose the last of his Hp.
Darknym teleported above the ork and took a ring out of his inventory, which he wore on the ork's finger. The Reporters made different comments like is he making him a proposal or something and laughed at the stupid looking screen.
Darknym didn't hear them and didn't care He took back his knife and after some minutes teleported Gloom to his location.
She saw her father as if dead and could not believe her eyes, she charged at him with rage, her eyes shining an orange light and with two swords at hand. Each step she made on the beach sank her deeper and deeper into the sand as the gravity spell was already cast by Darknym beforehand, one reporter who came too close saw his shield being depleted as he himself begun sinking in the ground. There was a reason why Darknym didn't, after becoming an Ancestral dragon he had lost the flight ability and gained the Levitation ability, and he was holding onto Zeiseg so that he wasn't buried alive.
He waited till Gloom was buried to her neck to turn the gravity to normal. He also teleported three reporters above ground, since they had his rings that had a tracking spell put on them. All the Items he gave were made with that function but to use it he had to have "the one ring" equipped which he never unequipped to begin with.
He took off the ring from Zeiseg's finger and he sprung up to life once more.
"Father!"
Shouted Gloom with tears in her eyes seeing that he was alive.
The ork wasn't sure what had happened, he only remembered a small prick on his arm and the nightmares that followed, but somewhere inside, that this fight he had lost, before it had even started.
"You can take her but know that If I hear words of you mistreating her I will..."
He was about to say the rest but Darknym interrupted him with his own angry voice.
"Don't Bark when you cannot bite, ask your daughter on what she saw when she arrived and before I leave..."
Darknym came closer to Gloom's sticking head, everyone waited for something rude and disrespectful, but what happened was something extraordinary. Darknym released green lights from his hands that engulfed Gloom, slowly gloom became smaller and smaller, she was now around 2meters tall, for some reason her equipments shrank too, with her even her swords became normal for her size.
Three figures could be seen in front of the setting red sun on that sandy beach
"I will allow you one day to say your goodbyes with your father, tomorrow you will come to my palace"
Gloom looked at her own reduced size with curiosity, normally it was him who became large for her, what had changed, she thought.
"Although I will Admit that your large size was sexy but my palace would be a bit to small for your true self, so I decided to make you a bit more compact, I also gave you a special gift"
She didn't understand what gift that was but he had raise her sensual level a little higher than it was before. Since she probably had a master pain resistance, it also dulled her sense of pain in you know.
Gloom went and hugged her father who lifted her on his shoulder, as he now was double her size and went to the nearby Village.
A party message appeared In front of all the reporters from Darknym.
"Those that want a trip back come towards me, those that want to follow Zeiseg send me a message to come and get you later"
Ten Reporters and Nancy came Towards him while the others went after the Ork. That night there was a Festival in Watalock Village for Gloom's Marriage with a dragon, although the dragon was not present, not that the orks would want him present anyway.
Darknym for the rest of the night now was busy with grinding his magic professions with the three dwarves forgetting Nancy alone Inside the Palace.
And later that day power leveling with the buglings while at the same time meditating and draining them of their life force.
===================================================
Nancy POV
After we arrived the other reporters weren't even there, It was frustrating, why did we even had to hurry in the first place since it was him who would trigger the fight anyway.
He gave them rings and me some stupid earring, It was a long crystal attacked to a ring, well 12million shield could become handy.
'Can you believe it, he didn't even know where Zeiseg was and wanted to duel him'
(not that she knew by the way)
We arrived at a beach, We can see Zeiseg.
Tadadadam, Darknym, he took off his mask and reveals to all of us that he's Chris the sound engineer, well it was a bit unexpected to say the truth, but now the battle rages and all the reporters have to stay focused.
The battle looks a lot too one sided, he's getting his ass kicked, well at least it was better than TOBO's record of two blows, he now takes out his dagger and charges at the ork that stopped for a second.
The both clash, the shine in their eyes gives them a good special effect.
3,2,1 Bam and Darknym is blown milles away towards the sea.
A few seconds afterwards Zeiseg falls to the ground and begun screaming as if he was seeing a nightmare. Darknym appeared once more and he puts a ring on the pinky of the ork, I don't know why but I say that it's a Boss killing ring, It would make sense. In the end It proved to be real close to what happened next, god bless my fast wits and luck, because I'll be needing them today she thought.
Darknym took his dagger and summoned Gloom, Zeiseg's daughter, she charges at him with fury but each of her steps burrows her deeper in the ground, It's a gravity spell some of my colleagues say.
Three of our reporters have been burrowed under the sand. Gloom is also buried to her neck. I'm informed that the spell's effect is over by the three reporters. He has another argument with the ork and goes towards the daughter's head, I hope he won't be doing anything incident.
What a wonderful light show, Gloom is now small well as small as a human since she used to be a 4meters tall giant. He gathers the reporters back and tells that something interesting is going to happen if we follow Zeiseg, well not in those same words.
I decide to return to the Tower and log out in my room, I will have to talk with my friends Merry and Bob about my situation and learn what Happened in Destros.
It's only 6o'clock in the Afternoon and Bob and Merry are together waiting for me at the cafe.
"Why the sudden meeting?"
Asked Merry somewhat Irritated probably because they lost in Destros.
She told them all that occurred that day leaving outside some sensitive information.
"So an Npc wants to make you her slave for one billion in-game gold coins"
Bob repeated her problem.
"Well I think that you should refuse, I think she was put to do this by him, He was probably looking at you naked in the Jaccizi right then through some strange magic device and knows that you're a spy"
"I think you should take the deal, I heard rumors of a new younger model taking your place after your 5 months Darknym show ends"
Bob said a little concerned about her since she was nearing her 30s now and he knew how much she had invested into the game and her own character there.
"What are you saying Bob, are you telling her to become a virtual hooker?"
Said Merry mad at him.
"That's exactly why I came to you, you probably know that last week I had to sell my third car to keep up with my financial crisis, the pay is no longer what it used to be and the contract with the director is a little lax to the point that I can just cut the contract here and now but the problem is that I won't get paid, the matter is that 1billion Allastar gold gives a 500billions real world money at the moment, although I don't know why Darknym has to work on the show does he not know the exchange rate?"
Nancy said troubled waiting for some good Idea that will help her in her problem.
"Just do the job properly and if you are fired I can ask my Grandfather to hire you at his channel as an In-game corespondent or whatever you like, I can even do it now if you like"
Merry said with a smiling face.
"Isn't your grandfather's channel in another country?"
Asked Bob with a stupefied expression.
"Does it matter, we can still play together"
Said Merry even more happy than before.
Nancy was about to leave when she saw that she hadn't money in her wallet, she just had to go to the neerest Atm to withdraw but she was a bit embarashed non the less as she went, when she returned she heard Bob and Merry arguing about something.
"If she's in his Guild can't we form some sort of Alliance with him through her?"
Asked Merry
"Wouldn't that be dishonorable towards the good name of our guild"
Said Bob seriously
"She's a burden anyway all she does in the game is cook food, she isn't even level 10 and is the leech of our group, that's how othres in our group call her at least she will be helpfull for once"
"But she's one of our group members, we can't just give her away like you said, we must first ask for her opinion"
Nancy didn't know to come closer or to run home in tears, she gathered her strength and formed a smile on her face as she came closer to the table.
"Ah, Nancy you're back, I and the other 8 members of our group in the clear waters have come up with a good plan, we are even willing to pay you a healthy sum if you are able to bring Darknym on our side"
Merry said in a clear and collected voice.
Their group, called "Honor", was an 11 members team, with Bob as its leader and 10 women members under his command, they were all acquainted in real life and although some of them traveled most of the time, they were quite friendly. The problem with girl friendship is that it can easily go bad when Bob comes in between.
Lately Bob was a bit too close with Nancy making the other 9 members jealous and when Merry asked one of them for advice, the whole thing took huge proportions.
Of course the show and the Infiltration were two different things and the money they offered for the Info were good but didn't reach the 500billions Velarial/Darknym offered. The thing was that she could not make a contract to ensure that he would give her the money or that she would abide to her part of the deal making it feel even more strange the more she thought about it. And now another problem appeared.
Nancy was about to pay and leave but Merry stopped her.
"Listen to our plan first and if you think that it's not worthy of trying we won't force you, it's just that lately you have been nothing but a burden, I'm sorry to have to tell you that but all three of your characters are craftmen and by craftsmen I mean cooks, I know that we all enjoy your in-game cooking but you could at least have trained in other directions at least to protect yourself, how many times has Bob to die just so that you don't die from some mob or some random PKer"
Nancy now conflicted sat back to her seat.
"The plan is simple, you ask Darknym in Allastar to leave the land raiders, although he does fit them well since they are both villains in nature, and join our guild, with that we can gain an HQ for our own group, and even a monstrously strong guy as an Ally"
"Wait, Merry I just gained a call from Joe, we might not need to do anything, he has a 'friend' in the New order, you know the one who provided him with the evaporator cannon we lost today, he says that if he's a mutant the New Order are going to do the job for us"
"Shut it Bob, he's nothing like the last guy who was killed by a few laser beams,didn't you she how little damage the evaporator did to him, it was as if it just scratched him, not to talk about the crazy moves he showed when we thought he had disconnected"
She showed her on her smartphone a video of something, that looked like a ghost, blitzing through their members punching and kicking them, of course that was not enough to kill them but it was enough to scare the shit out of them as he dodged blades and bullets alike.
"Is that really him, inside the game?"
She asked surprised
"We are sure about it, at the start of the video someone got the name, although by your saying either he has some strange ability that only triggers when he's logged out of the game, that would explain why he wasn't using the draining ability earlier"
Said Merry who was also their strategist.
"Why's he naked?"
She asked seeing the underwear used in the age restriction that is applied on recorded videos.
"Maybe he can't equip Items, otherwise I'm sure he would have grabbed a gun from the floor long ago"
"How are you so sure it was him and not someone else, he did say something short of a boast about a guild war but on the video he's logged in all of the time, and I have heard no such skill that will allow the body to not disappear when you log out"
"Hear me Nancy, barbarians in Allastar have a special skill that when they are unconscious their body moves by itself and fights the enemy on its own, some players use it the same way this scum used it on our allies, when in a battle if you log out your body remains falling unconcious to the floor but if you are a barbarian, it will go into berserk until it kills the enemy or dies and then disappears, they are saying that TOBO also used that skill a lot in his videos, to prove it do you think a normal human can fight like that?"
She showed her a movie of TOBO's fight with a guild at first he was fighting them normally but once they were overpowering him he became crazed, teleporting, shooting fireballs and acting as if he was in a frenzy, disregarding area attacks and dodging all and any melee and missile attacks.
"You see the only thing that the berserker can't evade are area attacks, our three flamethrowers had an easy work to do since their attacks did most of the damage when he was logged out"
"Here is the moment he logged in again, he fell to the floor and our guys surrounded him in seconds trying to do some damage"
Nancy saw nothing of his former speed and frenzy when he stood up, although she found it strang how one of their members flew towards him at some point.
"I can only make one thing out of this"
Said Merry with full confidence and the two of them looked at her with curiosity.
"If there's trully one level 5000 player in Destros, then it can only be him"
The statement shocked her two listeners and she continued onwards to her plan.
"So here is the plan, If he survives the new order, that he will cause they are too full of themselves, then I saw we Invite him to our guild and if he has a guild of his own or something, we give him Nancy and make an Alliance"
"Wait why me?"
"Because he's a fan of yours probably, he even offered you 1billion to stay in his guild and be his virual hooker while you are a gnome there, think what he would do to get the real thing, In Destros your character is even more popular than our nine together, since it hasn't aged a day from when we started playing the game, although I wouldn't say the same for your Altgaia character"
"Don't laught, I'm still having nightmares seeing myself turning into a monster while opening the microwave oven"
"On the bright side you're our only correspondent where the mutants live"
Bob said
"And their food is interesting, although most of the recepies include a sewer rat inside"
Said Nancy
"Ew, how disgusting, don't say that you are eating mise down there?"
Said Bob in disgust.
"What do you find disturbing about eating mice, when I'm a 2meters tall green slime monser"
Nancy frowned
"That cooks its victims before eating them"
Added Merry
"Don't add stuff like that, I have principles, I only eat animals and monsters in games and in life as well, you know full well that I used to live in a farm before I got scouted"
Nancy said remincing the chickens and cows of their farmhouse.
"Well are you in on the plan or are you going to return to your farm, all you need do is gain his favor and ask him to give you a video of the New order's failed attempts, since I see no way 10 light troopers with their laser guns can take up a monster like him, I'm sure they do half the damage our 200members did to him, but we must act fast you know how many guilds are after the 5000level player, that's 500guild levels just by recruiting him"
Nancy was now intimidated by her words. Darknym, the lowly scum whom she despised was now also a way for her to come out of her economical situation, the Allastar gold market has been stagnant for years, if she put a billion there was no way that someone would pay but if she made it into packs of millions and if Darknym was in on it she could make crazy money and could even put him in the game as well, since it was his money after all.
"I decided, I'll do it"
Said Nancy more decided than ever.
That day she logged into Allastar once more and asked a servant for Velarial's room. In a rush she pried the room's door open and came inside, She felt something slithery on her neck and then screamed in panic.
Velarial woke up and still half asleep,took the snake from her neck and threw it back into its basket.
"Bad Fi, so yo came"
-Do you want to have sex with Velarial-
The message popped up once more she pressed
the -no- button once more.
"I need a contract or something that will close the deal, just call your master here and we will work it out somehow"
"Call moneybags, what for I can make you a fine contract by myself"
She took a piece of paper wrote something on it put a drop of blood on it and said.
"Here's the contract, if one of us breaks it we die, is that alright for you?"
"What do you mean we, isn't it Darknym's plan?"
Nancy said now fully irritated.
"As you like, Here I go, Servants bring me your master here, we have to talk for a little"
The servants left and in a Minute Darknym appeared inside the room.
"What was our agreement Moneybags?"
"Did she ask you for money?"
"No I just want to make her my slave and she says that it's some plan of yours or something"
"Cut out the act Chris I know that you are that sound engineer who accompanied us that day, you really fooled us then but you can't do it twice, I know that you know about me being a spy for the "the Famus" guild and their alliance and that you are a fan of mine so you ordered the Npc to offer me 1billion for being your slave, I accept but only under certain conditions"
"Wait, wait and No I don't approve human slavery and no I didn't order this naughty chick to offer you money for anything"
After casting a sleeping spell of Velarial he teleported himself and Nancy away somewhere in the garden, where a small table and chairs were.
"Servants!"
Shouted Darknym and a servant appeared as if from thin air.
"Sit down and order something to drink I think we will have a long talk about this"
They sat and the servants brought them some expensive looking drinks and a dessert for her.
"First of all you are probably mistaken about some stuff, in the game there are all kinds of Npc, but there are normaly only two kinds, good and bad, but after a little interaction like you saw in the city they change, Velarial was born in a competitive environment with her sisters another two Npcs so when they were sent to the glass prisons she became arrogant and uncontrollable, not that I dislike that trait of hers, of course you must understand that this is only a game, it's like we two are in a dream, would you care if someone in a dream dies after you wake up?"
"Lets say that you didn't make her offer me money so that I would become her virtual bitch and not you and lets say you didn't have any control over her action then why are we still talking and you haven't kicked me out of your tower"
"second point even If you were a spy, what would you get from it, other than Velarial's offer, you could only take a little gold or some items of no importance and smugle it out, I don't even see the point of you being a spy, what do they even want?"
"Well, your moneymaking method, your labyrinth blueprints and probably more rings like the three you gave me"
"My money making methods are as bad for them as the rings you are wearing, you probably don't know but I can find every ring I have enchanced and even punish any thief or fool that might try to steal them, the labyrinth you speak of is probably the last floor of the series of traps I have now upgraded to kill any Intruder instead of trapping them, I don't see how the blueprints of the ten floors will help them but if you go up in status I can give them to you, you probably don't know but you are the lowest status of the guild's 30 status ladder, you can't even Invite others at the moment although I would be glad to Invite more people to my guild if you have some friends who are willing to enter but only if they are sure about it and as for kicking you out, If you want to leave the guild you are free to delete your character, I'm against ruining other people's fun, unless they had stoke first and you have done nothing yet as for Velarial's offer disregard her I would void the contract anyway, a human slave to an AI is just stupid, machines are created to make our lives better not to torture and humilliate us, although the first is not so bad sometimes"
Nancy was a bit lost with all the Info she had gained and came up with 5 points.
1.The rings are trackable and a bad idea to give away
2.The labyrinth was updated and now has 10 floors
3.He won't kick her out
4.The money offer is void
5.He's a masochist
"But if you have so much gold how come you aren't selling gold to the Internet Markets, you could make Trillions in the real world"
"Do you think the Administrators will sit nicely and see me do that, I can only do that once and even then there's a bigger problem, I don't want someone to take the money and bite me in the ass, I have already been establishing Lady of fortune in every city, the banks will open when the city leaves for the Demon world, I will be slowly turning my gold into real world money since There is no use for gold there as I have been Informed"
He saw Nancy crying and understood.
"Is it so bad?"
He asked.
"What do you mean!"
She shouted surprised, but mostly Irritated by the pity in his eyes.
"Then lets make a deal Beneficial
for both of us, first of all don't give up on the spy mission just tell them that you are still on it, I will provide you with all that they asked but gold, but tell them about the tracking if they find a way to dispel the tracking tell me and with that concider a 1% of the total sales of the gold, if you want more you are free to say what more worth can you have for me"
"I could bring more people to the guild"
"More spies, to be more precise, I already have two candidates for my guild, but Bob is not one of them, you probably don't know the real reason that you are here do you, well since he double crossed me first I don't see why I shoud keep it a secret"
Nancy was more than a little surprised at hearing that there was another reason for her entering his guild.
"The Director has asked me to create a clone of you after I turn you into a more human form and make you look a bit more sexy and hand him the clone to have fun with, I was thinking of doing so one of the coming days, but since he double crossed me I don't feel like it anymore and don't await to find any evidence its a deal by mouth and payment with the product"
Nancy was left dumbfounded, she hadn't really thought about why it had to be her and not someone else from her collegues but what he said made everything clear.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
She asked angrily
Darknym laughed drinking another glass of water and looking at the moon, even now seeing the girl from highscool with his mind.
"I don't think It'll work but we can always be friends, lets just exchange numbers for now and if in the future anything happens why not try it out"
"It's not that, I was thinking something, how about I find you a woman, will that raise my share?"
"If you can find me a wife I'll make it a 10%, but know that I'm a sado, so it's not as easy, and I'm not yet rich"
"Easy I alredy have three candidate's after you get rich, although one of them is a little, how to say it, a slut"
"Are all your candidates like that?"
"More or less"
"Then how about we go with something more amusing, If you become as infamous as me in the guild then I'll give you a 5%, of course if you find me a wife it's another 10%, to a total of 15% it should be enough right"
"Up by 15%, how about I..."
She couldn't find an Idea as she found herself lacking in Ideas.
"If I joined your guilds in Destros and Altgaia?"
"My guild in Destros is a small abandoned lab full of level 1000 bugling, if you can survive that you would have been one of the best players in Destros, but I could use an Assistant once I open the lab anew, but that can take years, as in Altgaia I'm only in the training tutorial and am an enhanced human so at most I can open an Agency to hunt alien and mutants alike"
Nancy was a bit dishearted since she was stuck with only 5%, since finding him a wife amongst her beautiful model friends would be hard, but then an Idea came to her.
"However if I am to find you a wife, you will first have you join our guild in Destros, that would give you a good chance to meet with them and might even find someone who's your perfect match"
"I don't think that it would work, my character there is a bit unrefined at the moment, a hair short of a caveman"
"You might not know but there are those that like those type of guys"
"Can't I meet them in Allastar?"
"That would be Ideal but I was thinking of telling them something along the line that, if he finds a girlfriend in our guild he said he would stay as a member, Merry says you are the 5000 level player is that true?"
"Well since you are asking, in fact I am 5120 at the moment, but I might reach 10000 if left alone for long enough"
Nancy was a little surprised she thought that only his Allastar character was strangely strong but now she found out that his second character was the rumored high level character that was rumored not to exist at all. It wasn't that she didn't believe Merry when she said the same thing, but he wasn't denying it and even added another 120 levels since the Report of him turning 5000 just a day ago.
"Well truth is that my guild wants to take over the spawn point the Land raiders own and the only thing holding us back is you, I was told that if we could take you on our side our group of 11 in the guild would rise to a 111 members group and own the spawn point"
"Is there a reason why you don't just Invite the landraiders to your guild, I doubt they would refuse the benefits of a large at least 1000levels guild"
"It's a 12000levels guild and yes they refused due to not liking the guild's rules, we are a non PKers' guild so they would not be able to PK others for equipment and materials, after your help they are probably now a force to be reckoned with since we dropped at least a dozen of our guns"
"Well I could talk to them about It, I only hope It won't turn into a stupid battle but If I help them join you might lose your chance for an HQ"
"We don't want them anymore, do you know what they did to Bob and Merry when they went in as messagers of good will, they killed them, putting Bob's head on a pike and we heard they were fucking Merry's corpse from one of our scouts"
"Sounds stupid of them, were they so sure of themselves?"
"Well they did have a secret weapon"
She said as she pointed at him.
"Is that so, then how about this, I will have one blind date in Allastar once a week and I won't Interfere in you destroying them, just tell me when you will attack and I just won't be logged In at the time of the attack, I won't be breaking any deals and a new Alliance will be born, I only care about the lab which is my spawn point by the way, and my deal was for them to have the Abbandoned farmlands while I have the lab, if the deal is the same I won't refuse"
"By the way the deal only works If you survive the New order's first attack"
"I think I saw something about another mutant being Hunted on Destros in a video but he was killed quite Easily"
"Well the first wave will be 9light troopers and an Npc commander, the second is a four man squad of experienced troopers, the last mutant died easily from their guns after having sold all the equipment from the prior wave to the local scavengers for real world money"
"Well If they are lucky enough to find me logged In, then they might as well try"
"You probably don't know it but the mission will be triggered after you log in, the only requisition is a New order's soldier spotting you and bringing back some evidence of your existence"
"I want to see him doing that"
Said Darknym with a smile on his face.
"How come you are so confident?"
Asked Nancy
"Well there's a swarm of monsters in my spawning point, whom are level 1000 if they can survive them then they can be my guests and enter my lab"
"Then how about a bet, If you won't survive the second wave then you are useless to us so I won't be able to close any dates for you so here's the bet, If you won't survive I take a 5% from the mariage thing, if you survive then I will, what do you think would be equivelant"
"Lose the other 5% you have in your pocket"
"Nope, that's just too cruel, how about inviting you to some gala or a private party in my estate in real life"
"5 events of your choice and I'm on"
"Is there a way to form some contract"
"Contructs between accomplices are meaningless don't you think, you stick on your part of the deal and I will stick to mine, you might not believe me but I always keep my word"
"I don't believe you, I will have a lawyer and the contract ready by the end of the week, but you will have to come out of the lab tomorrow and meet a member of the New order so that the event will be triggered, I'll give you a call when he'll descends on the planet, he's Joe's friend so It will probably be fine if we talk then about further details, just don't log into the game until 3o'clock and we will have the land raiders matter all worked out"
"Can't we make it a bit more precise, like 8 till 3 or from 12 or something more precise"
Nancy logged out and called Bob, she talked about the matter for at least half an hour and came up to a more precise hour and even the time for the meeting with Joe's friend.
"Chris we have a deal, the time is from twelve till four and the meeting will take place at six o'clock in the afternoon, as for the dating matter it's a bit unclear at the moment since you might not even be joining our guild but if you survive, Bob also agreed to help you find a girlfriend"
"That's assuring"
Said Darknym full of sarcasm.
"Don't say that Being a friend of Bob's will double any chances you have with a girl, till taking her to your bed won't be much of a problem"
"You don't seem to understand, but I'm looking for a wife, not a one night stand, for those I could just order a go girl"
"You're probably a virgin aren't you?"
Nancy said with a grin on her face.
"First you must learn a few things about
real life and the real world, you have probably only been fucking Npcs inside the game till now, the day after tomorrow I'll take you for a little event at my estate with only me, Bob and Merry, see it as a test of sorts for finding you a girlfriend"
"I accept but there's one priority you have to think about for the next few days, go to the Glass prisons floors and find what race you want to become, not that an infamous gnome witch is bad but it's not as catchy as a human or an elf one"
"I'll think about it"
She said and logged out relieved that at least one of her worried was off her shoulders.
Darknym teleported Gloom to the palace where she now were to live as a harem girl and the reporters back to the city.
He himself left for Destros raising further his levels for the Incoming New order's attack before logging out to go to sleep.
