Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

This rank requires you to be a contender for the throne, a guild master player, and these two conditions are already met by you, making the rest quite easier."

"That's impossible, as she is required to reach a place where no one else has reached in sacred lands!" Lady Nada suddenly exclaimed in shock and disbelief, "she has no enough power under her hand to do so, plus she is needed to control ten full worlds before she could ask for that rank," she added, and her words made me quite unsettled after feeling excited for a moment.

"That's not that hard to achieve," the guardian said, before adding, "I can grant her some artifacts to help, and she already has a mighty ancient demon that can help her get past the early lands there," he added, making things seem quite easier.

"That's a thing, and what about the nobles? When they realize what she was doing, they will link the dots! Her enemies aren't those thick headed ones, but those smart and dangerous old foxes."

"Don't worry about them, do you think after all these years I don't have my own followers too? She will get enough support to make her cut through many hustles along the way," he replied, and his reply made me aware of his esteemed position in the empire.

"That might solve the sacred land problem, despite it being so hard to deal with, but what about the ten world problem? She had signed a peace treaty now, and she couldn't move even against her world here!"

Lady Nada's logic seemed quite acceptable and realistic, as I just signed that trapping treaty. "Do you think this treaty is bad for her? She can now totally ignore this world, and use it to focus on the upper worlds above her. I will grant her access to twenty worlds, not ten, and will make her get in contact with forces there. She can use this world as her base, and her enemies will regret giving her peace here, not her!"

I suddenly felt I was part of a very big move, and everything around me was getting bigger and bigger. "The most important thing now is to know how much time do we have, but I think we have less than a year," he said, before he added, "I will go now, here take this stone in compensation for what you just used," a stone appeared on top of the image of the boat, before it flew to reside in Lady Nada's hands, as the boat itself started to vanish, silently like it appeared.

"Sigh, this guardian…" Lady Nada shook her head, helplessly, before she looked at me as she added, "you will need to raise your current level fast, train more in mystic arts, gain more arts as well as only the one under your possession isn't enough at all."

I knew she was telling the truth before she added, "I will ask your master to spare you some time and come to train you for a bit, also I need you to squeeze all the players here in this game world, gain as much as you can, and train all to the highest level possible. I will try to find a solution to the gear problem, so you won't be distracted by this, not now at least."

"Thanks for your help and care," I honestly spoke with much gratitude, as she was like a mother for me in this game. without her constant support and guidance, I couldn't reach the place I was currently at.

She casually waved her hand as she replied:

"Don't say that, just do your utmost effort and I will always support you," she paused, before muttering to herself, "but this crisis will hit everyone here, so I have to send a warning ahead of time to all my friends. They might be able to give some hand."

I knew this was the most logical thinking, yet still I felt greatly appreciating her idea. If other masters like her joined in, I might be able to have an easier time fulfilling these conditions.

I excused myself as I went outside again. I found Diana standing there with Rody, as their two faces were brimming with delight. I sighed, as these two didn't know what was on stake right now.

"What is making the two of you this happy?" I asked, as I just passed through the gate of the wall surrounding the mansion.

"It's the number of players requesting to join us, we have broken through one hundred thousand players right now, and there are more asking to join every minute!" Rody said with a very excited tone and facial expressions that made me feel quite bad for dripping cold water over his excitement now.

"What's wrong princess?" Diana asked, as she felt I wasn't anything close to excited after hearing these good news. My face showed how grim and depressed I was, and that made the two in front of me feel much worried.

"Let's talk while we are walking," I said, as I turned to look at the two armies standing in front of me as I added, "you go ahead and wait for me at the dungeon of level forty, we will hit that today."

They all nodded and moved with haste away from my sight. I sighed, helplessly, as even with my current mad progress, I wasn't feeling any security, not at all!

"Come, I will tell you everything along the way," I said, as I started to move away from the mansion. I started to tell them everything related to the incoming threat, and after I finished, I noticed a more grim reaction over their faces.

"C'mon, it's not that we have no chance to defend against this," I joked, trying to add a sense of humor to our current crisis.

"Princess, you need to speak with Aria and the others, convince them to join hands with you," Diana suddenly said, while she seriously added, "without their support, we will have a hard time building our forces here. The players we got are really great things, but they mostly are lower leveled, and now we are required to invade other worlds, that will be hard to achieve with our current player base."

"I totally agree with Diana, we need experienced players, organized and well trained, not some mere stray folks left from all guilds and groups," Rody said, as he agreed on Diana's words.

I sighed, as this was also one of my dreams, but I already knew how hard it was to snatch these groups, especially with all their elders and superiors. "I will speak to her then," I resigned to their demands, as I opened my profile and sent a message to her.

She instantly replied, like she was waiting for the reply button. She was nearby the town gate, and that made our meeting so close and easy. I led the two towards the town gate, to find her standing with the leaders and vices of another group.

So, they were all here, saving me time to wait for their responses.

"Hi our little guild master, how are you doing now after this epic battle?" Aria joked with me as she greeted me first. I just smiled, or tried to do so, though I miserably failed to do so.

"Why do I feel you are so down? Are the losses in the town this severe?" Rokal, the leader of the thunderous sword adventure group asked, as it seemed my bad mood was totally revealed to everyone here.

"Sigh, it's a long story," I simply replied, evading directly answering the question as I asked back:

"Tell me, how are you doing here? is everything good?"

"Yeah, everything is great," one of the Cleo cousins replied. "What's going on with you? Why are you so tense and nervous?" Aria suddenly stopped my about to come words as she directly asked me the same question again.

"If it's those noble bastards, let me join your campaign next time and I will show them how gravely wrong they are to play with the wrong person," Alfonzo said, with his deep hatred towards nobles. I shook my head, simply without directly replying on their questions again, as I said:

"Tell me, do your higher ups behave strangely lately?"

My question was weird, I knew that, but I didn't want to just walk to them, throw the bomb of my bad news, and leave them with only the option of joining me. if I was in their stead, I wouldn't agree to such an offer, not if given to me in that way.

"What do you mean by that?" Aria asked, as my question was very sudden and vague for them.

"I mean they asked you to prepare for withdrawing, giving you sudden orders to be conservative, or even cut all the ties with you!"

My words made them all, literally everyone, look at me in a very strange way. "Why would they even do anything like this?" the other Cleo girl asked, as she expressed what everyone was thinking of right now.
