Thanks for the support so far, two chapters to go before Volume one ends,
I don't know exactly when I will continue with volume 2 and might simply go
Into writing a different novel with different protagonists and a totally different
genre, I'm thinking of trying something a bit more like the wuxia novels although
in my own way at that, don't know probably because I'm reading too many of them
these days and want to try writing one.
Please enjoy the chapter, although it's probably not so great and my skills haven't grown
so far, I'm sure with enough practice I might making something worth reading.

Richard's POV
Richard never wanted to be a gangster, he wanted to be the rich bad boy that no one fucked with, but instead he lost his fortune because for his fucker of a father, for whom lawful money wasn't enough and he had to be a fucking drug lord.
Richard had many girlfriends but one in particular he hadn't banged yet. Her name was Merry and she sometimes came to hung out with them long ago, when her father wasn't as rich as he was now.
One day Merry called his boss and asked for a few boys to kick some poor guy's ass and a gun. He brought her the gun and talked about the old times, when they were still at school. He saw Interest in her eyes and asked to meet again.
The again came sooner than he thought this time she asked him if he knew of any assassin or hitman who could take that deep shit out of the way. She told him how her parents want to marry her to him and that she would pay a huge amount of money if the work was done well.
She hadn't paid yet but he assured her that he would tell a good friend of his to take care of it.
'Rich chicks are so easygoing'
He thought as he left the room.
Merry had invited him to some party at a strange club, at the time he didn't know that the club was one of theirs but he later learned of it from his father as he confessed to them about everything before he committed suicide.
His life became miserable after that, their huge fortune was confiscated and his "friends" left him after they understood he had nothing left to give them. He lived off of a chick called Rain, she was a hottie assassin who melted for his favor. He talked with her about his plan to kill Chris, then marry Merry and kill her to marry her.
They would be rich and live together without her having to kill people just to survive for just a week or so. He didn't see Rain after she left for the kill.
He was now desperate and having access to Rain's assets he bought a few guns paid his old friends and went to ruin the wedding himself.
It was then that the most strange of things happened as he saw Rain alive next to a man in a wheelchair and no bullets could harm that bastard.
After they had run out of bullets and Merry's family and all witnesses were dead the counterattack begun and it send him to jail.
There he spend almost a year of his life, he was mistreated and bullied. He learned to suck to others to get favors and how to be a real thug, he became a lowly criminal who was beyond redemption in there.
He was freed soon because Rain at last bailed him out by using some chick called Fayte. He didn't know how much she had payed Fayte to do what she did as she even let them stay in her house and took care of most of their needs.
After a week Rain said that they had to leave, something about her finding a job or something, she stole Fayte's cellphone took some money Fayte had saved and left while laughing at the meager savings of the poor girl.
Richard followed Rain because he didn't know what else to do, he didn't have any value to his former gang that had probably been disbanded already since he had seen most of his former friends in jail those past few months.
A month passed and Rain was nervous, there was no job request and her funds were running low at the moment. Sex was the least of her concerns now and he was of the same mind since his belly roared from hunger sometimes. Rain didn't trust him with her funds since he had misused them without her permission in the past and she only bought the essential food needed to survive.
A request came once more from Merry, the name of the requester was familiar to her but she couldn't refuse she needed the money. Once more Rain did not return after the mission, he didn't want to endanger her mission so he didn't call her but the day after he called disregarding the risk due to hunger.
He heard Fayte at the phone and with speed unbecoming of a hungry man rushed to where Rain was.
Richard knew nothing of medicine and even less about taking care of others, he just fed her when needed and helped her is she needed something.
That was until Fayte couldn't take care of Rain because of her work, He did a horrible work at changing bandages and the result showed after a month or so. Fayte was also desperate, he didn't know why would Fayte care so much for her.
Suddenly he found himself in a strange place and a strange young man not too much younger than himself said something about healing Rain.
To his surprise Rain flew with the strange young man towards a room and they followed, he put her inside a strange machine and they heard her scream, in a panic both rushed at him but were blown by a strange force towards the bed.
At some time after a meal he was left unconscious on the bed, he woke up from the noise from upstairs and didn't really know what was going, he knelt not knowing why and in the end left with the info of Rain's whereabouts.
He found her pursuers and sold the info for a rather good price and was now guiding a team of 10 elite assassins to Chris' apartment. The assassins forced the first and second doors open and once more the young man appeared before them they tried to shoot him but to their terror their bodies were paralyzed.
"What the fuck, man aren't you supposed to fix the broken door, why the hell did you crush the other two doors?"
Chris said irritated.
The assassins could see their target drinking tea with Fayte and Merry as if they were completely safe.
"I'll give you one day to fix the doors you broke, the next time I won't be as lenient"
He said and blasted all of them out of his house.
The next day the assassins disguised themselves as workers and even came with three doors. they were at least 20 of them ten were sniping from away and the other ten had bombs and explosives enough to blow the whole place up.
Chris was for some reason happy to see them with the new doors. The target was not visible but was probably inside. There was only one small problem present, non of them knew how to fix the damn doors.
Chris even more angry once more blasted them away, with all their explosives and stuff, the snipers felt despair as their bullets stopped in midair in front of them.
"If you dare attack my house one more time, I'll fucking make you all pay!"
Chris shouted making the neighbors look outside seeing the group of "workers" in front of his house.
The next day only three assassins and two normal workers went to fix the doors and kill the target. They didn't know why but their explosives never took place and police raid begun sweeping their hideouts one after the other.
The next few days there was a sweep by the police at the assassins' HQ, not just the hideouts even their boss was caught, who wasn't even known by his real name.
Richard was long gone and didn't care what they did with Rain but he heard rumors that the assassin agency had disbanded a few days afterwards.
He didn't hear much about Rain afterwards and his new gang was only a small one where they simply hang out and did small things for fun.
========================================================================================
Fayte's POV
Fayte looked anxious as Rain was drinking tea while the assassins were at their doorstep. Fayte had no idea why but she understood quite fast as the assassins were blasted out of the house and the next day they really did fix the doors. She saw Chris doing something with the toolboxes they left behind., but her problem wasn't the assassins it was Merry, the young woman who with every chance belittled them and insulted them.
She had them roam naked inside the house and sometimes groped them and put her fingers in their pussies when Chris was asleep.
They could do nothing since their stay there depended on her will, Chris didn't seem to care, for him it was like charging his batteries before fucking Merry downstairs even more wildly and harder.
Merry begun releasing her stress on them, for the pain she felt after a night's fun. She begun treating them like slaves and Chris didn't give a damn.
Today Chris and Merry were about to enter the game and Fayte and Rain would have free time one their hands, it was a pity that they couldn't even leave the house since they feared for their lives so they too entered the game.
W6 was different from FSK and the greatest difference was a time ratio or 1:3, meaning one hour in real life was three inside the game. It was strange why the company did so but they said that it was safe and since it was a game only for adults addiction was not a factor to count.
Fayte entered only to see Chris' tower, all his capsules lead to his tower and not the game's nexus world.
"So what race do you want to start with?"
Asked Dragonym sitting on the throne in front of her.
Fayte and Rain were shocked starting inside the tower instead of the Nexus and they saw Chris and Merry quarreling at a corner of the room.
"Why should I be a goblin, when I could be a dragon or something more powerful"
Chris complained.
"It's your punishment for making me play this shitty game"
Merry replied almost beginning to cry for some reason.
"Don't cry, I'll be your goblin, alright?"
Merry silently Shook her fist in a victorious pose, she didn't care about what race he was but she wanted revenge for last night.
"Guys why are we in Darknym's tower?"
Asked Fayte who was in her male form now.
"Are we in Allastar?"
Asked Rain a bit irritated seeing her skin turn green as she tried an ork inside the game, just for fun but it wasn't to her liking at all, since she couldn't use bows or guns.
Orks are too strong and the bows lose durability pretty fast if used by someone with too great a strength, while guns in Allastar are a bit complicated and delicate as they work with magic due to the lack of gunpowder. Strength is like a double edged sword, although it raises damage it also raises the weapon's durability reduction of a weapon, many warrior skills fight that weakness, although most players just buy weapons with greater durability.
"Did you guys also want to play, well since you are my 'guests' haha, you will also have to accompany us right?"
Said Merry with an evil laugh looking at Fayte's handsome face.
Fayte could feel a strong killing intent coming from a small goblin who carried a large sack behind his back now standing next to her.
"Does anyone want to change his race?"
Asked Dragonym once more rather irritated for being ignored by them all.
"I want to become a sniper"
said Rain irritated.
"Just make her a wingwoman it would be great for reaching high places"
Said Chris.
"Nope make her a catgirl, I want another pet"
Said Merry.
Rain didn't care either way, but a feline beastman wasn't such a bad idea, they had night vision and a good sight and with their claws they could easily reach high places.
In the end she was made into a strange crossbreed of black furry human, with a cat tail, ears and black bird wings, since she also was a wingman or better wingwoman.
She was half naked because she was a beastwoman, she only wore a cloth as a skirt only covering a little of her female charms.
"I like your wife"
Said Dragonym looking at Merry who had a satisfied look at seeing how Rain looked.
"Do you wish to die?"
Said the little goblin, who was carrying a strange bag rather irritated.
"Chill out I have my own wives here in the tower, you remember those dragonesses captured, they are all mine now, since you don't need Npcs anymore, right?"
He said to calm chris down but seeing how Merry gropped Fayte's ass and bam!.
Chris became even more angry.
"How dare you punch my wife?"
He said and with some strange spell Fayte was down to his knees in pain.
Fayte was in the form of the wood elf and was seemingly in pain as he spoke.
"But...she started...it"
Fayte spoke still in pain.
"Whatever never do that again, if I see you harming her ever again, you'll feel it once more"
He said while stopping the mysterious spell.
"I told you that inside the game you will be calling me "Mistress", it's called role play!"
Merry shouted at him and kicked him shooting him a few meters into the air.
"Yes honey...Aouch"
He said and got another kick to his face.
Rain and Fayte pointlessly tried to log out and escape from this torture but the log out was locked for them.
"Did you two maggots just try to log out!"
Shouted Merry seeing the two doing something at a status window.
"No mistress!"
Both said in unison.
"Don't be afraid honey no one can log out without my aproval...aouch"
Chris said and got another kick.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Mistress!"
Merry said while stepping on his goblin head.
Dragonym and the other two covered their smiling faces with their hands not to incur his wrath or her attention.
"You two will be my companions and shithead will be my pet"
She had changed her pet's/Chris' name and named him "Shithead", Chris didn't care and only though about what he would do to her after they left the game.
They had divided their domains, she would take the Master's role in the virtual world while he would have it in the real world.
Chris made that agreement just on the spot, in order to make her play the game again, since he still wanted to see what W6 was like . They all wore their beginner armor and had only the starter Items as they were teleported to a town inside the game.
"You have come in grave times"
Said an Npc guard who saw them appearing inside the city.
"Is there a problem?"
Asked Fayte who had been used to playing the hero, in Allastar and even as an Administrator she still helped the npcs and players as much as she could although she was forbidden from killing Npcs and monsters.
"You probably aren't aware but monsters have begun attacking the towns and villages, this town is no longer safe"
The guard said and looked nervously towards the locked gate.
"Don't be afraid weakling, Fayte and his company have just arrived in Allastar"
Merry said with a playful smile.
"Is the elf supposed to be famous?"
Asked the guard puzzled since they all wore beginner armor and they had no titles of fame.
Fayte wanted to talk but Rain elbowed him to save him from an even worse fate, she knew that Merry did it on purpose or some twisted sense of fun.
"You might not know since he just arrived but in our country he's a great hero who has saved many people, he just needs to remember his skills and all the monsters will be dead before long"
She boasted as if it was all true, not giving away even a hint that it was all a lie.
Another player with a full body armor came by seeing the beginners and went towards Merry.
"Leave that loser and come to play with me"
He whispered disregarding the goblin's killing intent that he could clearly feel.
"Fayte take care of this nuisance"
She said since she didn't like the man's face, he simply wasn't her type.
The player looked at Fayte for a little and then shouted in surprise.
"Wait aren't you an demonistrator?"
He asked as he recognized Fayte's Avatar.
"Not anymore, I was fired a couple of weeks ago"
Fayte said a bit fast.
"Punish him! Shithead"
She shouted and hit the goblin's head.
The goblin with a lightning fast speed jumped onto the player's back and with a swift movement of it's hands broke his neck.
"Not him you idiot! I meant Fayte"
Merry frowned and punched the goblin on the head again and again.
"But honey, he tried to hit on you"
Chris said while taking her hits that didn't even hurt since her strength was too low for him to be considered painful.
"Bring him back to life I want to see how strong Fayte is"
She said in a commanding voice.
"But I don't have the mage profession, yet "
Chris said but everyone around him could tell that he simply didn't want to..
"But I want to see him fight!"
She pouted like a little girl.
Her fit ceased however when a very strong smashing sound came from the wooden town gate and a monstrous howl of some monster that made her freeze in fear.
"What is this thing!"
"Retreat it's breaching the gate"
"Ahh, run it's invincible"
They heard Npcs and players shout as they were being slaughtered by something behind the closed wooden gates. The npc guard was now between them and the gates, for some reason no one cared about Shithead's red name all players simply disconnected hearing the alarm bell sound all through the town.
"Shouldn't we also log out?"
Asked Fayte a bit scared since he knew how strong the monsters were in W6, the few monster hunting guilds were large and had hundreds of players that only hunted weak monsters like wild dogs and wolves, wild goblins were like mini bosses inside the game for even level 1000 players, since all monsters were at least level 1000 themselves, while the Npcs were around level 500.
They needed 4 npc guards to kill a single monster and although npcs fought many times better than most players countless times they just drove the monsters away instead of killing them.
"So what do we do now?"
Asked Fayte again after seeing the gates shake and cracks appearing on the wood as if it was going to fold in half.
"Honey do you want us to fight it or do we flee?"
Chris asked the shaking Merry.
Merry only said two words,
"Monster Bob"
but it was enough for Chris to understand her fear and desperation, the reason was a trauma she got from some time ago. Ina made it so that every time she enters the game the monster would assault her location and rape and kill her.
"Fayte, Rain this is your first mission, take this and this, and kill that thing, I'll look after Merry"
He threw a fucking light saber to Fayte and a strange futuristic sniper rifle to Rain.
"Since the game is not fair I don't see why I should play fair"
Chris said and the sky begun darkening as the gates begun cracking.
The gates shattered to smithereens and a hulkish monster with a long snakelike neck with bob's face appeared, it was a strange chimera of a troll, a hydra and a human. An ugly monstrosity with a snake's tongue and a giant dick erected as if for show.
Sheesh!!!
A headshot pierced it's head but it didn't do any damage at all, as the head regenerated momentarily. Fayte cut its head and two heads grew from the the hulkish body, while from the head a smaller monstrosity was created.
Merry looked at it with despair, she didn't even think of logging out since she knew that once the monster appeared her log out button was disabled until she died, it was a revenge from Ina for escaping prison.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Chris or the small goblin Shithead was enraged at seeing the lustful eyes the monster had been looking at Merry with.
six red thunders stroke the monster and it's smaller versions that that were now six, since Fayte had cut it's limbs again and again, just a as they one by one approached Merry and the small goblin.
The red thunders insta-killed the monsters but they continued hitting them again, again and again. no one but his companions knew who was the cause of those thunders but the npcs were happy that the monster was no more.
At least at first, as cries of pain and suffering were heard from the monster with each thunder, at some point the viewers were taking pity of the immortal monster, whose Hp couldn't drop bellow 1, until it turned into ashes.
Chris was now comforting the still trembling Merry while the Npcs were celebrating the birth of a new hero, "Fayte and his companions".
They had a festival that day and many players saw the strange dark clouds still swirling above the town in ominous circles as if they would kill anyone at any moment.
There were no videos of the fight with the monster and all the players that entered afterwards believed the npcs' words without question. The light saber and sniper had disappeared but Fayte and Rain had gained lots of stats and skills just by attacking the creature. That was because their weapons did tons of damage their strength and reflexes rose at tremendous numbers, of course that would have been impossible if not for the broken monster, Monster bob was simply Immortal, otherwise Chris wouldn't have given them weapons or used the strange thunders.
Althought the real reason behind the weapons was to lock on the monsters data, so that he could make it die.
In the midst of the celebratory mood the people completely disregarded the small goblin that carried Merry to the closest Inn and had a good time with her as a reward and who was the master and who the slave was a bit debatable at the moment.
"What was that magic weapon the goblin gave you?"
Asked a townsman.
"Magic"
Said Fayte a bit ashamed for stealing someone elses glory. Rain didn't care and just sat and ate without worry next to him.
"We would like you to train our new guards if it's not too much of a hustle to ask"
Asked a guard with a fancy armor, probably a commander of the guards or something.
"Truth is I haven't yet gained a profession but I could give them some basic combat training although I doubt anyone would want to become a blade dancer"
Fayte said a bit dishearten, since blade dancers were a damage dealing class that lacked armor and was easy to kill with magic.
"It doesn't matter just teach them a few moves and you will be rewarded handsomely"
The commander said patting him in the back and drinking a beer while going away.
The next morning Fayte and Rain woke up in the same bed, in an awkward positions. Fayte was in a world of pain afterwards but it all stopped when Merry came in.
"What are you two doing, we have work to do"
She shouted, behind her was the goblin who for some reason had an eye patch on his right eye.
The two put on some armor they were given and followed Merry outside, they didn't know what the work she spoke of was but in the end, they couldn't refuse anyway.
"Lets go the troops are already waiting"
Merry said and outside the door they saw a small army of a hundred guards in recruit armors. Some of whom were players.
"You finally came"
Said the commander from yesterday's festival.
"Yes we are ready, each will take twenty soldiers to train, as we agreed on and anyone who disobeys orders will be punished right?"
Merry asked while licking her lips in a sexy way making many of the male guards whistled and seconds later felt a killing intent so strong that they could only gulp.
She then turned to her companions.
"In ten days we will have a mini-tournament and he who wins will get a reward, right commander?"
"Well since I will be competing as well I will give a good reward to the three winners of the competition and their trainer"
The commander said.
"If the trainees survive ten days"
Shithead said silently, smiling wickedly.
The others had an aerie feeling about it, Merry didn't understand the real meaning behind his words but had a bad feeling as well.
"They who want to follow Fayte's training come forth"
Shouted the commander.
a bulk of female guards and players came forward, of the thirty something, Fayte chose those that were the prettiest amongst them. Twenty beautiful women, players and npcs, probably only there because of Fayte's good looks, since they had seen him at the festival in the seat of honor.
Second group were the most competent npcs of the lot whom the commander chose as his soldiers.
Third was Merry's group, twenty male players that looked like riffraffs and delinquent.
fourth group was Rain's and they were 20 male and female npcs and some players, they only chose her over the one-eyed goblin, because they didn't like the goblin's smile and looks.
The last group were three players and 17 npcs, that looked real weak or ugly or both.
"Today everyone will have some time to get known with their trainer"
The commander said and he took his already well trained trainees and left.
Chris had a doubt that they were trainees by the way they walked in rhythm as if they were on an army march.
Fayte was overwhelmed by the voices of the female players trying to hit on him, while the npcs tried to state their names.
"Silence!"
A thundering voice echoed, it was the goblin Shithead that had shut up not only his but the other four groups as well.
Fayte was somewhat thankful but what he saw afterwards was somewhat terrifying, the small goblin had beaten up his 20 and they lay on the floor groaning from pain. The "silence" was because they were groaning too loudly at that moment. All players and Npcs were shocked and became silent the moment they saw three players groaning like the npcs and fear overwhelmed them since they now thought of him as one of those wild goblins that beat up and raped players and npcs alike.
=============================================
Shithead POV
That night Chris took the shivering Merry to an Inn and tried to have his way with her but it didn't last long before she came to her senses and gifted him with an excruciating pain of having his eye clawed by his honey on the act of love, not that it stopped him anyway.
He took an eye patch from the his bag and left the honeymoon suite.. Merry then went outside and he followed, the commander of the guards came and asked that Fayte trains some of the guards.
Merry didn't seem to care at first and was about to go and beat up Fayte but then the commander told about the mini tournaments that took place every ten days and about the rewards that they would gain if their trainees won and some other stuff, the drunk Fayte totally missed.
The rest was them gathering Fayte and Rain and being given their twenty trainees.
Chris' trainees and especially the three players were weak, super weak and he knew it, but they seemed to not know that.
"Why are we under the weakest of the four"
"Is goblin a even a playable race?"
"I would have loved some of that"
One of them said and he pointed at Merry.
The three of them were friends in real life and became soldiers in the game in a failed attempt to get laid with an npc but they were so weak that even the weakest woman player in the town could kick their ass.
As the first Npc was about to report his name, saying "I'm a...ahhhh" and he was kicked and punched by Shithead falling to the ground to his comrade's surprise.
It only took Chris four minutes to down all twenty of them men and women were now on the floor groaning.
Seeing how weak they were and since their Hp hadn't even reached 50% and they were already out he shouted at them
"Silence!"
In reality he wanted to see if there was even one amongst them who was worthy of special attention but they all fell like a tower of cards with just a kick or a punch at the right point.
"You are pathetic, today I will let you go home and those of you that don't like what you are feeling now, go become poets or musicians, since all you can do is sing anyway, those that want to kill monsters be here tomorrow at the same time!"
Shithead said as he spit on the nearest of them who was a player named Steel.
Shithead saw them whine as he saw them make couples and going home. It isn't what you think, they weren't those kind of couples, the ones who were stronger helped the more wounded stand and walk to their homes.
W6's pain system was a perfect copy of real life and stamina and minor wounds worked like in real life, even hot and cold weather could be felt as if it was real.
Chris left as well as he went to find the mage and thief guild. Being a game master he found them quite easily, the mage at the guild was a bit reluctant but he taught him the profession but the thieves were a bit of a problem, he beat them all up until they agreed to teach him and even wanted to make him their boss, which he gladly accepted.
He was now the master of a small thieves guild that had only four npcs and one player in it as members, they had lost their leader a week ago, another player took all his friends and their loot and left the small badly protected town. They had sent npcs after him but they all died as the player was strong and elusive, it was the reason they had made him their boss in the first place.
The only player left a young girl, or so she looked inside the game, Chris knew that in reality she was probably an adult and a man as well.
"Since I'm your new leader, First order we are taking over the Inn, if the owner doesn't comply I will make his regret it"
He said with a wicked smirk that made the four npcs and even the player shiver in fear.
"Now follow me"
He said as he wore a cloak given to the thief guild's recruits, but his silent steps made it look as if he was a master thief.
They arrived at the Inn and the owner and his family were cleaning the tables when the six of them entered. The sun was still out and only two players were at the Inn at the time, six hooded and cloaked people entered in and at their helm being a dwarf or something with a red name saying "Shithead".
The Owner was still afraid of him from yesterday as he had already kicked his ass before, because he didn't want to sell a PKer and a monster a room, in the end he gave him the room for double the price and two of his worst meals. Now the monster was back with five more chaotic people.
(since the thieves and the "girl" were already chaotic, being thieves and all)
The goblin came over towards the counter, two people stood by the door and one by the window on lookout duty, while the other two came with him towards the inn owner.
The two players logged out not wanting to be a part of whatever was taking place, since PKers were a nasty bunch, and they could always just log in once in a few minutes when they had left.
Shithead hit the counter startling the Inn owner's two daughters and wife.
"I'm taking over the Inn, from today onwards the Inn will house the thieves guild"
He said making his monstrous smiling face seen to the owner who was shocked from his words.
Normal extortion was a normal thing for thieves to do but they were easily caught by the guards since the towns were well protected but this town had other problems more serious than a few stolen purses but stealing property was not a small thing.
"I'll have the guards know of this right now!"
The Innkeeper shouted as he tried to exit the Inn but got caught by the two cloaked men who were with Shithead right now.
"Is your answer yes or yes?"
Shithead asked while shifting him to his knees.
Seeing Fayte and Rain from the window and the signal from the lookout the Innkeeper regained some hope and cried as loudly as he could.
"Help!"
he cried and he saw Fayte hasten his step towards the Inn while Rain proceeded with caution, but when Fayte entered through the door his face paled.
"Chris what's all this about!"
Fayte asked with an urge to help the man but being unable to.
"We the thieves guild are taking over the tavern Fayte and since we are in the same party it should be a free room for you as well"
"Rain, at last we found the thieves guild"
Fayte cried leaving the Innkeeper somewhat hoping for the best until he heard the rest after Rain entered.
"Rain wanted to join the assassin guild but they said that only after gaining the thief profession will they allow her to join"
"Oh great Idea, guys next I'm taking over the assassin guild as well, you will stay here and teach Rain the thief profession, and if until I return the Innkeeper doesn't comply I will be forced to kill him"
Chris said drawing his beginner thief's dagger and pointing it at his face and drawing a tiny drop on blood from his cheek.
The two daughters were on their knees and his wife was already out of the kitchen, she had already tried to ask for help but no one was willing to risk their lives and the soldiers were to busy guarding the walls from monsters while rebuilding the city gates.
"I accept, I will give the Inn over to you and your thugs"
The Innkeeper said with tears in his eyes.
"Who said I wanted only the Inn"
Chris said with a serious face.
"What I want is you and your family working here, we of the thieves guild will have our base at your cellar or attic or wherever we can hide and if you betray us you will have more than just your life being threatened and ruined"
He said pointing at his family who were on their knees in an attempt to implore for him to spare the Innkeeper's life.
The Innkeeper gulped heavily as he nodded.
"Now the two of you ladies are joining the guild with Rain, until I return I want to hear that you have reached the apprentice rank"
The innkeeper shook his fist trying to hold his rage as he was unable to do anything to protect his family.
"Guys if I hear from Rain or Fayte that you did anything to our newest recruits we will have the talk we had earlier today about how someone joins the guild, are we clear?"
He said and they saw the five threatening figures shrinking and nodding their heads like puppies.
"I need the address of the assassin guild and any other chaotic guild in the town"
Chris said and one of the thieves came towards him and whispered three things to his ears.
"Wow, perfect just perfect...hahaha"
Chris said while laughing with an evil voice as if he was about to conquer the world.
=======================================================================================
Steel POV
Steel was the first of the three friends to enter the game and spent all the money he bought on a full plate mail.
He was already a warrior in profession but he was too weak to do anything so he just tanked the monsters while his teamates took out the wild dogs around the area.
Caravans passed Sheldomly and sold mostly food, but the prices were too high for anyone to buy, so he also became a cook, since no one else wanted to sacrifice his second slot just for cooking monster meat.
W6 had a hunger system like Destros but now they felt the hunger when it came. their real body was in a strange static phase like a cryostasis and didn't need anything at all until they logged out and continued their real lives.
Steel had two friends Iron and silver. One was a pervert who became a thief and an assassin and the other was obsessed with fantasy and became a mage and a warrior.
Steel was walking around the town when he saw Merry and fell in love once more, he for some reason felt in love with every beautiful girl he saw.
As you may know already he died but what you might not know was that he at the same time lost his armor to other players who looked his corpse afterwards since Merry and her party didn't touch even a piece of his equipment although they could have taken everything.
Of course he could just buy a new one but then his friends came and told him that there will be a festival and that they had just enlisted in the militia and told him to do the same.
The militia fliers were everywhere and the militia had to spend 30days training and then either join the guards or do whatever they liked. Food and a place to sleep were provided and there were no male and female barracks making it a feast for their eyes as the female npcs didn't care about appearances, they were simply too dedicated to their cause.
In the morning the militia were gathered towards the Inn, there he saw Merry again but to his disappointment he wasn't in her group. He and his friends for some reason were stuck under a goblin. He saw they were not the only ones disappointed as the Npcs too looked somewhat less enthusiastic.
Someone out of good will went forward to state his name and Bam!
He was flat on the floor moaning from pain.
With just two attacks his health had fallen to around 60% but what shocked him was that the goblin didn't stop, in four minutes he had felled them all to the floor groaning, even he was on the floor not knowing if his armor would have made any difference since most of the damage he took was from hitting his head on the floor.
He heard the goblin's speech and felt angry, his first thought was that the goblin was cheating or something, but thinking again, he didn't see anything suspicious in his attacks.
The goblin attacked their knees and head sometimes folding them in two with a kick in the stomach and then using its weight to drop their head to the ground, it was like an WWE wrestling show where however the pain was real.
He couldn't stand from the pain and then it happened, a soft hand helped him up.
She was an npc and although not a beauty like Merry she could be called cute, if you took the blood and bruises from her face. She helped him and he helped her as they went together towards the ward for the guards.
Steel was happy, being touched by a female, he thanked god, his friends and even the abominable goblin for this moment.
"I'm Steel"
He said somewhat excited.
"I'm Veronija"
She said somewhat disheartened.
"Are you also disappointed that we have a goblin for a trainer?"
He asked her excited.
"If you were even half as skilled as he was you would have seen the disappointment as he looked down on us, he is a worthy warrior, I'm sure he could kill us in seconds if he wanted to, I don't know how strong the other three are but if you consider them his equals then all three of them must be monstrously strong"
She said with some disappointment in her voice.
"Then what is it that makes you so sad?"
He asked again.
"I don't think that I will be coming back tomorrow"
She said with a shiver in her voice.
Steel grasped her hand and said.
"Please don't give up, I will do my everything to protect you"
The girl blushed from the sudden change of topic, truth was she had heard those exact words once more by her fiancee but he died from a monster assault and he was at least ten times stronger than the weakling promising to protect her but being a guard he died protecting her and the town from a hoard of wild goblins.
Steel's words and the familiar warm tone in his voice made her break in tears right on his shoulders.
Steel silently celebrated getting a step closer to bedding her.
