1. Game rules and ranking ceremony

AT THE SAME TIME

AT MAN'S POV:

I saw how Glitch smirked. It was time to hear those rules.

"Say it."I said and nodded.

"Listen up, kid. Welcome to the ultimate test of your survival skills. In this unforgiving wilderness, you'll need every ounce of wit and grit to make it out alive."Glich said with concentrated voice.

"First rule: fire is life. Learn to make it, keep it going, or you won't last long."He said and I nodded.

"Water's your lifeline out here. Rule number two: purify your water. No one wants to deal with parasites when they're starving."He said with a laugh.

It was not funny thing at all.

"Rule three: forage and hunt. The forest's got food, but you've got to know what's safe to eat and what'll turn your stomach inside out."He said again.

"I heard there is town close by."I said.

"There is one, but you need REACH it."He said.

"Rule four: tools matter. Learn to make 'em or find 'em. This knife could be the difference between dinner and becoming dinner."He said.

"And lastly, kid, rule five: shelter before nightfall. The wild's got plenty of things that go bump in the night, and you don't want to meet them unprepared."He said.

It made sense. I saw how he gave me a paper.

"Go to town find tawern and rest. As soon as the sun rises go to 'Ranking Guild.' It will give you your rank. You can raise it and get stronger as you go. "Glitch said and wanished.

It seems that I have to play smart or I die here soon. I was a billionaire but I haven't started like that. Time to remember my roots.

As soon as rise up, I was ready to go to the town. I spent first night in a tree and these clothes are really uncomfortable. I sort of wish to have my bed. It was time to the town. I kept walking and gathering some random things, but in a few hours I have reached the "Gohst town". Name fited this spot. I guess that's why nobody brought it before. Because of graphics. Soon I saw some people walking and soon I saw "Ranking guild".

As soon as I stepped inside I saw headmaster who seems was already waiting for me. It was a woman about as twice as old am. She has an dark hair and even darker eyes.

"I am Rosalie, leader of 'Ranking guild."She said.

"My name is Michael. I am here for a ranking exam."I said.

"I see. I soon explain how the exam works."She said.

I nodded and I saw how she took out 3 color cards: gold, silver, and bronze.

"Bronze is omega, Silver is beta and gold is alpha. I going to put a drop of blood on each card. With the card glows it shows up your rank."She said.

"I understand that."I said.

I watched how she did that quickly. I saw how quickly a bronze card started glowing and how quickly her facial expression changed.

"Omega huh, weak one too."She said in disappointment before handing me a card.

"What is my next step?"I asked.

"You need to go to a guild that fits your rank."She said.

I stepped cautiously through the dense, moonlit town, guided only by the faint rustling of leaves and the distant howls that echoed through the night. My heart pounded in my chest as I followed the scent of damp earth and wildflowers. My senses sharpened, attuned to every sound and movement around me. I knew I was getting closer.I saw a building that I was looking for.

Approaching cautiously, I spoke in a hushed tone, pretty clear about what I was looking for.

"I seek the guild of the Moonlit guild. I wish to join your ranks and embrace the power of the wolf."I said.

"Follow, if you dare. A man rumbled, his voice deep and resonant. "But know this path is not for the faint of heart."

"What must I do to prove my worth to the Moonlit Howlers?"I asked.

"I need to see your card."He said.

I gave them the card and he laughed.

"You omega, look for omega's pack looser."He said.

As soon as he said that I was kicked out of a guild. I started looking for a guild and soon after I saw a guild I was looking for. It was Lunar guild.

I wandered through the quaint, moonlit town, my footsteps echoing on the cobblestone streets. It was said that nestled within the heart of this town was a secretive guild known as the "Lunar guild." This guild was known for taking care of omegas and I was determined to find my place among them.

The town was wrapped in an enchanting aura as soft moonbeams danced on the buildings. It took me another hour to find it.

"I seek the guild of the Lunar guild. I wish to learn the way to stay in this guild."I said.

The guild member regarded me with a mixture of curiosity and solemnity, then gestured for me to follow.

Inside a guild building, I saw mostly females around it was shocking to me. I might be one of the few males around.

"I am Rosa, leader of a Lunar guild. We are welcoming you here. On the table, you see tasks you can do for points and earn money. You also may choose to live on a safe zone in a forest."She said.

In that moment she got my guild card ready, so I was a full memember of Lunar guild.

"It is a good thing to know. If you have a small room I could use it would be nice."I said.

"We have plenty rooms, choose one you like."She said and I nodded before leaving.

It was so nice around here. I knew that now I have place to call home.
