I couldn't help but chuckle as a little girl was hugging me. I smiled gently being reminded of my little sister in my past life. She was such a bubbly and joyful girl And Lu was reminding me quite a bit of her. I have picked up Little Lu and put her on my shoulder as I walk deeper into the guild seeing the group of women as I nodded my head soon I Heard a voice I recognized it as Delphine as I look back to see you her looking up at me with a little girl on my shoulder she tilted her head but she ran up to me with a smile.
"Big bro don't tell me you're getting a new little sister?"
She said with a playful pout I laughed as I ruffled her hair and spoke.
"I just got back from raiding a goblin dungeon and saving these girls. How did you look for commissions?"
I smiled as I remembered Delphine was designed after my late little sister who died at 16 in a car accident. I would admit it's a bit disturbing that I redesigned a character and a video game after my little sister I will admit that But I didn't care at the time and it just became a case where every time I could design a second character who would accompany the main character my player character it would always be my little sister because I remembered how we always talk about going on adventures together hell she would even play most multiplayer games with me so we could go on our own little adventure. Delphine spoke with pride as he puffed out her non-existent chest but given the race I gave her which was a hybrid race of human and a race called del-dra which again was a unique feature and the developers Gambit to add much more life to their game. Simply put Delphine race, especially half breeds, grow in their 20s to actually start developing physically since their race puts more in their evolution to mental development over physical, which meant they would be far more mature mentally before their body started to mature. Currently Delphine what's 14 years old and she has another 6 years before she actually starts physically developing.
"Well big bro I completed five commissions all on my own most of them were helping with labor carrying around building supplies so obviously I went to my take over at magic for a solution and I became my demon wolf form though I got many looks of envy from girls because I looked adorable."
I laughed as I received a notification.
"Tutorial task update 5 of 20 commissions complete"
I nodded my head as I looked around and I started to think.
"Delphine do you think we should let all of these people into our guild even if some of them are not mages of course I'm adopting little Lu here"
I spoke with a firmness in my voice though Lu was giving me a warning look but given I was much stronger than her she was going to have serious words with me most likely later. But the little lady Lu squealed and hugged my head happy to have more family most likely which was confirmed when she shouted.
"Yeah I have more family!!!"
I couldn't help but chuckle as I found this adorable though I soon found little Lu was no longer on my shoulder but being squeezed to death practically by Delphine as she was practically screaming kawaii without needing to say words. I blinked because I didn't even see when she was taken from my shoulder. Though as I looked at Lu's older sister still seemed to relent since her little sister seems happy about getting more family. I looked at the rest of the women.
"Listen up you all can join up with my guild and become part of this dysfunctional family or my little sister Delphine can help disperse you all in the surrounding villages so you could try and get back into the normal life it is up to all of you to make the decision to what you will choose after all life is a journey and it's up to each person to make the choices on their journey."
I spoke loud enough and made sure everyone could hear me when I looked around. I noticed the civilian women were much more looking at Delphine like they really wanted to just go home or at least find a place to call home but the mages they were seemingly giving it some serious thought about joining the guild. Until one of them was a rather older woman who was obviously not in her twenties yet but at bare minimum 19 chose to speak.
"What will we get about joining you and your guild?"
I nodded my head because that was reasonable as I noticed most of the civilian women walked up to Delphine like they were waiting for her to lead them to The villages.
"Answer your question ma'am by joining the guild we will help you grow stronger as well as treat you as if you were family. And given I have a habit of rating goblins dens you would probably be helping me kill off more goblins and saving women who were in a situation just like you."
Saying this seems to Curry some favor with most of the victims as I noticed Lu was holding my hand again. And when I look back I saw my little sister Delphine leaving with the civilian women to help them get back into society most likely. But anyway I shook my head as I looked back at the rest of them.
"But anyway the choice is all yours I'll be up at my office and most likely the rest of my guild will come back eventually if you wish to go up there."
As I spoke I walked up to my office as everyone watched of course Lu and her sister were random so did everyone else. I ended up putting the guild stamp on all of them. Smiling, I had all of them fill out documents about themselves and not surprisingly only Lu and her sister had anything interesting about them. The rest were standard cannon fodder beginner mages with maybe one spell in a single element. Hell there was so mediocre I couldn't even remember their names nor did I choose to. But what really made things interesting was that both Lu and her sister were both practitioners of light magic and disturbingly enough blood magic on the older sister who now I finally got the name of is fuu. I blinked as I looked at the older sister. She had dark brown skin, amber colored eyes and green hair. For some odd reason this is making me think she's a transmigrator cuz she reminds me a lot of the seven-tailed prison from Naruto. I don't know if I'm against or for it if she is a transmigrator but I don't really give a rat's ass because if she does have a cheat good for me and my guild if she doesn't oh well She's still a body that can do commissions.
I unconsciously shrugged as all the new members left my office except for Lu who was currently napping on account in my office. I went over and put a blanket over her to make sure she stays warm as I went back to do paperwork as I looked over my shoulder and saw Serena and Diablo back as I stood up and walked to the edge of the railing I looked down and smiled at them as they seemed happy to see The guild become a bit more lively.
"Welcome back, you two give me a report written down and then you can do whatever you want and introduce yourself to the new members."
Hearing this thing nodded their heads and it was serana who walked up to my office as Diablo was being himself by staying on the second level which applies that he is our resident s class mage and with the system I can most certainly upgrade them to that and he will be the first one to approach that without a doubt. Well obviously the rest of the newbies were on the first floor. I saw Serana place a piece of paper on my desk as I grabbed it and began reading it. And she looked over at the little girl sleeping on my couch Before she could say anything I spoke.
"I have adopted her and her sister fuu"
Hearing my words she quietly nodded her head as she went over and began to gently ring her fingers through Lu's hair like a big sister spoiling their younger sibling. Which made me give her a small smile as I began reading the report or I would have if the system didn't automatically read it for me.
"Congratulations Serana has completed five commissions and Diablo has completed 10. Your guild has completed 20 commissions. By tomorrow a member of the magic council will give you an official document stating you are an official guild."
I blinked as I just toss the piece of paper into a filing cabinet which I had used ice dragon slayer magic to manipulate the ice around to make signs on top of each cabinet and since the one I'm using is the mission cabinet obviously all documents pertaining missions will be put here when putting in reports because like hell I was going to not keep everything written and documented Or at the very least everything legal documented It's then I received a notification.
"Guildmaster, your guild has been officially recognized as an official guild and everything will be sprouted to the public about a new official guild appearing. You are the only official guild in this region. There are many dark guilds within this region. The system has put up missions in the mission function about exterminating these dark guilds. There are a total of 15 c rank dark guilds, five b ring dark guilds and one rank dark guild within the region."
I blinked because I knew what it took to be ranked as a dark guild within this game which was you need to at least two to three of a particular level or above of fighter to be ranked a certain ranking so say if you want to be answering guild like the main five you would have to bare minimum have two to three s-rank mages. So the A rank dark guild has to have at least two to three A rank which me and Diablo can deal with with moderate level of difficulty. Given if they took this place as their main base they either want a place relatively isolated or they were ice being just like me which means that this region being completely Frozen helps the cultivation of ice mages quite a bit by at least 2.5%. which is just a little bit. Underneath trip times the cultivation speed in comparison to other regions. Which is why you will always find an ice mage presence in this region.
I shook my head lightly as I have 2 more tutorial missions left before the entire tutorial is completed. And those two missions if they correlate to the game would be the dungeon feature which I just used to get these new members. And the last tutorial quest is to take out one dark guild if you choose the path of being an official guild. This is one example of the game devs making the game interesting because there were two different final quests of the tutorial depending on which type of guild you chose.
If you chose to be a dark guild your final guild quest would take out one rival dark guild and one official guild. And it'll be flavor text stating that it's best to show we're strong even if we're small. It's like how the end game was in the case of if your guild got destroyed by a God the gods domain would change depending if you were a dark or official guild if you were an official guild it'll be a god of death if you were a dark guild it'll be a God of Justice. And if you chose in the path of a dark guild you would be locked into your Guild being destroyed by a god By the end game. But it seems the same file was chosen for my transmegation thanks to my three companions stating it was an official guild one Which made it easier for us to become an official guild because when we first appeared they wondered what happened because one of them's last memory was of the god of death this one's statement made it clear that their memories was us of being an official guild.
But anyway I rubbed my chin as the notification for the final tutorial quest appeared with some extra text.
"guild has completed a hidden mission installed by the system and completed one task before it has been stated by the system during tutorial. You'll receive a reward from the system."
I raised an eyebrow with a rather large amount of interest. After all this was something that was in the game as well but it typically force-fed you the tutorial unless you were doing New game Plus. Which you could only do one time with each save file. Seriously as I look back at my old Life the game devs put so much effort and time into that one fan game hell if I remembered before I died I read about a blog about the creators of fairy tale wanting to buy it out and buy out the sequel once it's completed. Which shows you how damn good the game actually was. I quickly shook my head and looked back at the notification that popped up.
"You have a choice between two rewards, one random magic trait. Or one random guild upgrade."
I rode to my chin quietly deciding which one would I pick the guild upgrade would upgrade the guild as a whole and will make things easier for everyone but the magic trick would increase my own power or if I choose to I could give it to any member of The guild to increase their overall power which in turn increases the potential of them depending on the trait and could give us potentially a new high ranking remember in the terms of potential. I chose the magic trade after thinking for a while. After all, upgrading everyone's quality of life is good but gaining potentially high combat power is better. I waited for a few seconds as a notification appeared.
"Congratulations you have received the dragon slayer trait."
I stayed silent because the dragon slayer trait was very good. It would make someone's magic capacity at bare minimum be at the s-rank they're physique evolving to the a-rank but now the question was who do I give this to the only two people who could really benefit from this trait would be Lu and Fuu. Either one of them could be very useful as a light dragon slayer but the question is who do I give it to. Lu is a child but her body has yet to fully develop meaning it would be a lot less difficult for her to develop when she hits the development stage. But her sister is already within that. True it would be that hard to add a little bit more potential but it doesn't mean she wouldn't already be able to realize it. If she already could realize her current potential she may not be able to with the extended potential. So after a few minutes of contemplating I added the dragon slayer trait to Lu's light magic which became light dragon slayer magic thanks to the dragon slayer trait. And here is the fun thing about the system they would automatically know the basic moves of Dragon Slayer magic because they're all basically the same just with the light Element.
(Message from the author I will not show on perspectives of anyone doing a commission such as oh take out five bandits. Unless I plan a surprise during that mission you will not see it because I'm certain everyone would agree no one wants to see someone who can nuke a country take out five measly bandits. Oh and fun fact I actually do randomize when I do the random things mainly I choose a number between 1 through 10 and I ask my friend the one who created diablos overall character or I ask whoever I'm living with at the house at the moment to do the same.)
