Chapter 219 Great Offers That I'll Have To Pass
-----
As I heard the four Players talk with one another and begin to discuss to which Guild was the best one, I began to think myself. I had been in this game for months now. Should I really join a Guild now from all times? And why? What would I do in a guild? What would be my purpose there? What should I dedicate myself to do there?
These people seem to want me to get there so I can do quest with them. They seem rather good natured and simply want to explore the lore of the world further. As they saw me being capable of find two world changing quests, they got interested in me. And it seems a rumor I can create quests has been created out of speculation as well.
It sounds fun but… being restrained by a guild and their rules is a bit too much for me. I already got enough restrains with having to deal with a job. They say they'll treat me especially but that might not last too long either, right? They could probably slowly change their minds as they discover I am not really a professional player, or someone dedicated enough to spend tens of hours a day playing the game.
"I am a very casual player so I cannot really met with any of your guild requirements." I sighed. "I might sometimes spend whole days without logging in either, so I cannot really… take the responsibility of joining one of your guilds."
"Eh?" Angelina muttered, quickly growing a bit sad, and disappointed. "Ah… Well… My entire guild is very hard working and the one that plays the least still plays like five hours a day, I suppose it would feel unfair for them if I add someone that plays as casually as you said. But quite honestly, how come you've stumbled upon such quests if you play so casually?"
"I… don't know, it just happened? Isn't this game about interacting with people and finding secrets? I know I've been stuck in this forest for too long now but every time I walk somewhere, I find something interesting to look and amazing people to talk and try to help. I am just doing my best… And I am honestly enjoying myself!" I said. "At my own pace, that's it…"
"Hmmm… Well, my guild is chill so I wouldn't mind if you don't play much." Anikitty said.
"Yeah, likewise." Erdrich added. "Though all my guild mates like to roleplay a lot, so it might be a bit cringy for you…"
"My guild is quite fitting for you but it is still up to your own decision." Said Gandalf.
"Thanks for understanding… But if you really are passionate about the world lore, I am sure you're good friends of NPC, right? If you're nice people to NPC, then I can become your friends! I wouldn't mind bringing you guys to my adventures, although it would make them a bit boring if you're so overpowered." I sighed.
"Well, sure, we can add you to our friend list." Said Angelina. "But bear in mind that most conventional quests don't allow for players whose levels are too far apart, the maximum level limit is usually a difference of, at most, ten levels."
"Oof…" I sighed.
"Of course, unless we do the Fair Quest System and lower our level temporarily to join you, I think that should work, right?" Wondered Gandalf.
"Oh yeah…" Anikitty added.
"Planta, have you thought about making your own guild? It is very easy. We could help you around the ropes and you can recruit your friends into your guild and might even become part of our alliance. Alliances have little prerequisites, so it shouldn't be as demanding as a guild." Said Erdrich.
"Oooh! That sounds interesting!" I said. "My friends are currently drunk though… Well, maybe you can join us? As long as you promise not hurting the fairies, okay?"
"Sure, we have never hurt any NPC."
"We hate those that try to indirectly hurt them."
"In fact, Angelina calls herself a "Protector of the People", and she's well known around some NPC countries for being a protector."
"Indeed, I've given my life several times to fight evil players that try to take advantage of NPC or to indirectly kill them or assault them. I don't tolerate villains." Said Angelina with a prideful smile.
"Amazing, I guess you guys are really nice people…" I said. "You're right up my alley!"
I guess I was a bit gullible there by believing them so easily, but at this point I really didn't had the energy to interrogate them around. I quickly decided to summon the Spiritual Avatar of Titania here using Spirit Magic.
FLASH!
"Oooh?!" Gandalf felt like he was having an orgasm by looking at the magic I did. I can already tell he was a magic nerd.
"W-what is this magic?!" Erdrich asked in astonishment.
"Is that the Fairy Queen?!" Anikitty easily guessed.
"Planta! Did you just summon her?!" Meanwhile, Angelina was still wondering if what I did was by my own powers.
"Yeah after getting her Blessing I can summon her into her Spiritual Projection or Spirit Avatar." I said.
"That's a thing…?" Gandalf asked in shock.
"Ahem!" Titania quickly made herself known in the place, as she looked at the four Players from above. "Who are you exactly and what do you want with my beloved Planta?" She asked rather over protectively of me.
"Wow… she's really attached to her…"
"Isn't the Fairy Queen like a Boss Level NPC?"
"She's supposed to be super strong…"
"Amazing, you've really made her your ally?"
"Guys can you stop talking about that and just listen to her?!" I asked angrily, as the four quickly snapped back to reality. They were indeed quite the nerds.
Anyways, at the end, Titania received an explanation from all of us about who they were. She was still not trusting them, so she didn't allowed them to enter though…
