24. Welcome to the team!
AT THE SAME TIMEHUANFor a moment, no one moved the decision had settled. Not escape, not retreat. The alley felt smaller now, not from pressure, but from presence, not a group of temporary allies anymore."Well if we are staying, might as well say it properly."Garrick cracked his neck, then let out a breath. "Say what?"Charlie blinked. "We are not just working together anymore."Dorin stepped forward, arms still crossed, but his voice steadier than before.Serena didn't stop him."We joined Black Lotus knowing it wasn't normal/" Dorin continued. "Different structure, different leadership.""Different standards, and I happy we all now one big family."Kieran added quietly. "Obviously we have me."Charlie puffed up slightly. "That lowers standards." Garrick said."Hey-"Charlie began."But we stayed."Serena cut through them."That wasn't by accident."She looked directly at me."We have worked with a lot of parties." She continued. "Temporary alliances, contracts, missions.""Most fall
23. A true tittle reveal
AT THE SAME TIMEHUANThe mug touched the table a little too softly. Not careless, not distracted. Decided. I stood up."Leader?" Charlie blinked."We are leaving." I said.No explanation, no hesitation. That alone was enough, Serena didn't question it she was already on her feet, spear lifted in one smooth motion. Dorin followed, presence shifting from relaxed to guarded, Kieran's eyes swept the room once before he moved, Garrick pushed himself up with a grunt, stretching like this was just another change in pace. Henry simply set his mug down and walked, Charlie hurried after me."Okay this is either serious or you finally snapped-"Charlie began."Quiet." I said.He went quiet, we exited the guild through the side, not the main hall. Less traffic, fewer eyes, the night air was colder, sharper. Good. I didn't stop until we reached a narrow alley between two stone buildings, far enough from noise, close enough to vanish if needed. Then I turned, they were all watching me now, not rel
22. An appearance update
AT THE SAME TIMEHUANThe guild did not quiet down, it shifted. Noise turned into celebration, tension into movement, and within minutes, someone had dragged out barrels that definitely weren’t meant to be opened during working hours. Mugs appeared, tables were pushed together, and somehow both parties ended up at the center of it."To not dying!"Charlie raised his mug first."Low standards." Garrick said, but lifted his mug anyway."Effective standards." Dorin added."To successful cooperation."Serena shook her head, though there was a faint smile there.Kieran simply nodded and took a quiet sip. Henry stood beside us, composed even now, though he didn't refuse the drink when one was placed in his hand."Progress." He said calmly.I took the mug handed to me. Warm, bitter. Unnecessary but this moment was efficient in a different way."Leader, you have to pretend at least to enjoy this."Charlie leaned into me again."I am." I said."You look like you are analyzing the mug."He said."I
21. Subterranean dungeon
AT THE SAME TIMEHUANThe ground didn't just crack, it shifted. Right where the goblin bodies lay scattered, the dirt sank inward with a low grinding sound, stones sliding over each other as if something beneath had finally been forced awake. Dust rose in a slow spiral, and then a dark opening revealed itself. Cold air rushed out as Charlie leaned forward immediately."That is definitely not normal."He said."That is definitely interesting."Garrick grinned."A hidden structure… beneath the tower."Serena stepped closer, eyes sharp.Kieran crouched near the edge, dropping a small stone inside. We listened. Clack… clack… clack…"Deep." He said quietly."A dungeon entrance triggered by clearing the nest."Henry folded his arms."Then we go in."Dorin rolled his shoulders."Special event continued. Subterranean dungeon active."The system pulsed again.I looked into the darkness then stepped forward."We proceed carefully."I ordered."Careful chaos?"Charlie immediately followed."Controlled.
20. Goblins and abounded tower
AT THE SAME TIMEHUANIt seemed the party had been formed. Two C-rank teams standing together in the guild hall was already drawing more attention than usual, and although the conversations around us tried to continue normally, I could feel eyes following our table from several directions."So shopping again?"Charlie leaned closer."Yes."I said."You prepare often."Serena raised an eyebrow."Goblins hide." I said. "Preparation removes uncertainty.""A correct approach."Henry nodded once."Try to return the tower in one piece."Ina watched us gather our equipment and simply sighed."No promises." Charlie said cheerfully.The morning crowd had fully filled the streets by the time we reached the market district. Merchants shouted prices, guards pushed carts aside, and several adventurers were already buying potions and arrows for their own missions."You again."The alchemist stall owner spotted me immediately."Yes."He said."He’s back for the fun stuff."Charlie leaned on the counter with
19. Team work with C-rank party
AT THE SAME TIME HUANThe guild doors finished opening with a long wooden creak, sunlight stretching across the floor like a pale road leading straight into the hall. Three figures stepped through it, they didn't hesitate at the entrance the way travelers usually did. No pause to adjust to the noise, no glance around to find the counter. They walked in like people who had already decided exactly where they were going. Toward us."More attention."Charlie leaned slightly toward me."Looks like trouble."Garrick adjusted the new axe Henry had given him.Henry simply watched as the three adventurers stopped a few steps away from our table. The woman in front spoke first."My name is Serena Vale." She said clearly, resting one hand on the spear strapped along her back. "C-rank lancer.""This is Dorin Hale. Shield specialist."She gestured slightly to the man beside her.Dorin gave a small nod, the large shield on his back shifting with the motion."And Kieran Ash." Serena continued as the q
