Chapter 256: Unexpected Reaction to My Guild Master Token


    One year of immunity from other guilds attacks was something tempting, but it was also a double edged weapon, as I couldn''t also touch any guild for a whole year.


    Clearing the ce from other groups would be easy said and done, but they might, simply like that, shift to join other guilds, making me unable to fulfill my wishes.


    I knew this wasn''t the best situation ever, but at least it was a solution. We started to head back to the town. Before leaving, I waited for my demon to finish the run, and then instructed it to continue helping my yers to level up in the dungeon.


    The good thing I found was that I also got XP from these runs, even if I didn''t personally take part in it. it seemed the game acknowledged my demon to be a representative of me, and that was a nice surprise among everything happening now.


    I knew the moment I used my token, the doors of hell would open, however I had to get through this. I might be able to attract yers based on one year immunity period, but that wasn''t the same amount I thought I would gather from just crushing other groups and guilds in the town, bing the absolute overlord here.


    "How is everyone''s gears?" I suddenly asked, as I passed through the gates of the town, recalling my missed Lady Nada.


    "Weck many gears, as our yers kept dying and losing them at the previous battles," Gabri said, with some embarrassment.


    "Hmm" I started to think hard about this problem. I missed talking with Lady Nada, she was someone who made me feelfortable speaking with. Also, after what I had been through, I wanted to tell her about my adventures, and the challenges I faced up till now.


    "Ok, I will handle this matter after issuing the guild quest," I decided, as I would go to Lady Nada and speak a little with her.


    The road to the adventurer guild wasn''t that long, and in minutes we reached the front door of this crowded ce.


    "Go inside and start epting yers first, then tell me how things is looking," I said, as I entered the main hall, full of yers seeking for quests to take, "I will go and start the guild establishment process," I said, as I took a deep breath, trying to calm down my troubled mind and heart.


    I left them and headed towards the smallest line here. Just as I stood there, waiting for the yers in front of me to finish, a stir suddenly happened in the ce, while I heard many whispers, spreading faster than fire.


    "Did you hear that? the famed bloodthirsty group has reopened their eptance."


    "I can''t believe it! I wanted to join them."


    "I was part of them, but I was heavily targeted by the other groups. The legendary leader of the group was nowhere to be seen, so I had to quit until things calmed down. I can rejoin again, hopefully they won''t turn me down."


    "Let''s go and apply together then."


    More and morements came and I heard them all. I held my nerves down, trying not to be carried by the moment, as I was sure all this would be killed the moment everyone heard about me establishing a guild.


    That reopening move had suddenly cleared the line in front of me, and I wished it wouldst longer, but I moved, with much hesitation and anxiety, towards the NPC responsible for this desk.


    "Hi, how may I serve you today?"


    He was an old NPC, with white hair and many wrinkles on his old face. His way of speech was so warm that it made me lose the nervous edge, and start to feel slightly calm.


    "I want to use this," I said, as I took out my token, the long awaited one inside my inventory, and gave it to him. the moment his eyes fell on it, his face changed, as his tone started to stutter, as he grabbed it with shaky hands.


    "T-T-This i-i-is g-g-guild m-m-master token!!!"


    His tone wasn''t that loud, but suddenly all the NPCs here looked towards him, then to the token in his hand, then to me.


    "Oh god, it''s the token," the old NPC eximed in a great shout that startled me, and grabbed all the attention in the hall towards here. "Come,e esteemed yers, let''s discuss this important matter inside," the NPC said, as he stood up, and gestured in a respectful move towards a distant room behind his desk.


    I didn''t speak a word, or even turned to nce at anyone, like I was doing something wrong. I didn''t know why, but I was feeling extremely terrified at this moment, the moment I dreamed of for such a long time already.


    I followed this old NPCs hurried steps towards the room he pointed at, and when I entered there, I found it was anotherrge hall, full of smaller desks, with many NPCs sitting there, working diligently on many papers.


    ''This is the room behind the scene then?'' I muttered, as I knew this was where all the quests issued were processed before going out to the yers. just as I walked in it following the steps of that old NPCs, I noticed the appearance of many NPCs,ing from the other hall to here, while those who were already here looked at me in a strange, questioning way.


    "Come,e esteemed guild master, we are extremely honored to have you in our town," the old NPC said in a loud tone, so that each NPC here would hear and understand who I was, which seemed to be something bigger than I thought.


    The moment they heard his words, their faces changed, showing expressions of shock and delight. They seemed to be facing a great opportunity, so rare and precious that they couldn''t even believe their eyes, while looking at me in a respected way.


    What was wrong with these people? Weren''t the guild master token a curse, not a blessing? Or what?


    That old NPC led me to the rear end of the hall, where there was one desk taking the whole space there, with three old looking NPCs sitting on the desk, eyeing me with bright looks.


    "Are you the yer who has this token?" one of the three asked, with his strong tone.


    "Yes, it''s me," I replied, without the need to hide my identity from now on. I had to get used to this, being called guild master, not just group leader.
