Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Amidst one of my dungeon trips with the boys, I felt a strange, yet familiar aura hovering around me. I didn't have time to think about it, when my whole body got stiffened, and a sound rang inside my ears:

"System notification: Player Loli has already issued a request for guild establishment. She will gain double exp buff for one week, this buff is applicable to all players who will join her guild. The guild will have a three months protection against any challenges."

My strange state was immediately noticed by my players, as they all stopped, surrounded me, and asked with care and worry:

"Princess, are you ok?"

"Is everything fine?"

"What happened?"

All of them had keen looks over their faces, but I couldn't really trust them, knowing for sure there was a mole inside my group.

"It's ok, just I lost balance," I lied, "I might have exhausted myself for the past runs, I should take a break after that."

I didn't need time to rest, I needed time to reconsider what I should do later on. My team said a few consoling and supporting words, even asking to terminate the run for me to rest the whole day, but I refused.

I had many things going on inside my head now. I thought I had an edge over my enemies in this game, but it seemed I always was left behind.

My guild token seemed to be a very heavy rock right now, slowing me up, bringing me down, and I had to endure.

Issuing the guild quest must be done as fast as I could. I ended the run, and had two things to do, first was to strengthen my group, and the second was to go to the adventurer hall at the town, and issue the legendary guild quest.

I knew once I did that, the doors of hell would be widely opened at me. the problem wouldn't just be in my enemies, but in other greedy players who might see me weak and unworthy of the token. The greed of players in the game was really something I couldn't underestimate.

So, to be more secure, I had to first strengthen the group, then go for the guild establishment.

To strengthen the group, I needed to reopen the closed acceptance door, level up all the players, take all the honor for conquering the dungeons around my town.

And most important of all, I had to crush all other existence here that didn't belong to me.

A crusade should be done, and I needed to win it with no loose ends.

So, the first thing I did was to stop participating in the dungeon runs personally. My own level got pumped up to be level twenty seven right now, a very good level without doubt.

"Diana, send for Rody, Elyo, Gabri, and Rog. I want to meet with all of you right now," I said, as I turned to face my players, "I will leave you to level up with my pet, follow his lead."

This was my best way to solve things up. My demon nodded its head, understanding what I wanted him to do.

As for me, once I left the players in my pet's custody, I went to a corner, just outside the dungeon. The place had long been emptied from most players, and who remained now were those spying eyes for other forces eyeing my movements.

I wasn't interested in them, as my mind was already heavy with all the thoughts inside it.

I didn't wait alone for long, as I spotted my main players coming towards here, with the lead of Diana. I stopped caring for all the worries in my head, as I had to share them now with them, and six minds were better than one.

"What's up princess!" Rog said when he reached me.

"There is one more player who established her guild," I said, while my face expressed how tense I was.

When they heard my words, their faces showed the same anxious expression that I already had. Time had no mercy for anyone, and I was always pressed by it.

"That means we only have one window to have the quest," Diana muttered, knowing how dangerous it was right now.

"Sure, but we don't have enough players even to care for our group," Gabri said, expressing the main problem we currently had. "I thought we had more time, sigh," he sighed, helplessly, expressing my own thoughts and feelings.

"So, we have to open the door again, accept as many players as we can," I said, while looking at them in the eye, "I know we would face some problems, but currently we have the tide on our side, at least in front of every normal player in the game," I added.

"What if we used the guild token as a factor to establish our strength?" Elyo suggested.

"Not an option," I shook my head, "the moment we do that, our enemies would use this to scare players from joining us, and they would have all the right to do so," I added.

"But just sitting here and accepting players won't do any good. Once the third player announced the guild establishment, things would go out of control for us," Rog said, refusing my approach.

"I know," I sighed, "so I want to start a full our war in the town, crushing other groups and guilds first," I added, "this war would keep them slightly busy, and will make our existence here unchallenged," I added, expressing my own thoughts.

"It's still a passive approach," Rog said, "our enemy is cunning, I prefer we do the two things together," he added.

I knew he was right, but going on full out war with the danger of not having enough players was a risk decision to make. However, he had a good point too, as my enemy was really cunning, always doing what I never expected.

I might go all out on my plan, and he just flip the board simply by establishing a third guild. Such an enemy was really hard to deal with, which made me feel somehow helpless.

"Fine," I finally said, "let's go all out. Let's go back now, and start establishing the guild," I said, as this was the only solution I had.
