The Immortal Player

The players erupted—discussing what Pedro told them. That said, a snake crawled out of the crowd and transformed into his human form. Then, the man approached Pedro and asked, "If I may ask, respected sir… Most of us are already in a so-called Guild! Wouldn't there be a conflict if we joined the Adventurer's Guild?"

The players could not help but quiet down and glance towards Pedro—waiting for his answer. That said… Pedro simply smirked in response and said, "That's a good question, young man! We, Adventurers, are sometimes composed of large groups that travel together and were called Guilds! However… These are only individual groups that had nothing to do with other adventurers! So… We call them Factions instead!"

"Individual groups of adventurers that move with each other, dependent on each Faction's goals! But the Adventurer's Guild was different! It is an organization that is established to organize and unify every single adventurer in times of chaos like this—regardless of the Faction they are in!" Pedro explained in a confident tone. "If you are concerned about whether the Adventurer's Guild would interfere with the matters of your Faction, then rest assured, we won't interfere with your personal agendas… Well… As long as it won't go against the interest of the adventurers as a whole!"

"Is that a threat?" Weyron asked as his face wore a mischievous smirk.

That said, Pedro knew his cousin very well. So, Pedro was able to remain calm in response. Then, he smiled back to Weyron and said, "It's up to you if you would take it as a threat or not…"

Weyron simply laughed in response and said, "I'm just joking! Just joking, Sir Aron!"

Weyron's Guild Members could only sigh of relief—thinking that their Guild Leader would even be able to provoke an NPC unconsciously. Then, in the next second, Weyron calmed down and asked, "Anyway… Can I know, Sir Aron, where could I get quests after I complete the registration?"

"You would be informed by the registration staff about this… But since you asked, it would be a good opportunity to tell everyone about it." Pedro shifted his attention from Weyron to the other players. Then, he said, "The quests issued by the Adventurer's Guild are posted temporarily at the office area. But be warned… As I said earlier, we wanted every adventurer to develop their skills properly. So… It was evident that we would not give all of you tasks that we would deem beyond your current ability! The Adventurer's Guild is implementing a rating system that would serve as a basis on which quests each of you would be able to get!"

"The rating system is composed of several tiers that are dependent on your individual strength or also called levels! Tier F is for those adventurers whose levels are five [5] and below… Tier E is for those adventurers who are level six [6] to level ten [10]… Tier D is for those adventurers who are level eleven [11] to thirty [30]… Tier C, level thirty-one [31] to fifty [50]… Tier B, level fifty-one [51] to eighty [80]… Tier A, level eighty-one [81] to one hundred [100]… And lastly, Tier S is the tier for adventurers whose levels are above one hundred [100+]! That's the basic gist of the quests! You'll know more about it when you register!" Pedro explained.

Weyron simply smiled in response and said, "Interesting… Then, allow me to be a member of the Adventurer's Guild, Sir Aron!"

Weyron left and headed towards the registration area of the Eccentrics or Unique Combatants—making his other guild/faction members follow him in response. Well… They did not specifically follow him to the Eccentrics Combat Type Division.

In fact, most of the players lined up at the Sword Master Combat Type Division. This was an expected scenario by Pedro because all of the players only had a newbie sword after their character creation, without even being given a chance to choose for other weapons.

As to why the developers did it that way, even Pedro himself had no credible explanation even with his memories of his past life. What he only knows was rumors—where the most famous one was about the newbie sword resembling a knife that one would basically need if he/she was surviving in a wild place.

It would depend on the player's skill—whether he/she could make the weapon of his choice using the basic weapon that the player has at hand. That means that the newbie sword should only act as a stepping stone for players to obtain a weapon of their choice.

However, such logic was hard to comprehend, especially for players of a game. So, all of the players could only use it as if it was their treasured sword at the start.

As for the reason why Pedro was selling newbie swords to players who already have them, even Aldo has no clue about it. Well… Truth be told… It was just simply to increase the value of the silver sword drastically! It was a marketing strategy that Pedro designed.

Besides... Other than promotion purposes for the Adventurer's Guild, it would also create competition amongst the players under Weyron's Guild—consequently allowing the best in them to be released. This way, they would get stronger faster, and they would develop faster than other players. Something good in games, especially for VR games like Bearth Online!

That said, Pedro did not mind their Combat Type Division Selection that much. After all, he knew that most of them would change their combat methods to the ones the players were most comfortable with. That is the reason why he placed a lax rule about Combat Type Division Selection—where players could freely change divisions or even join several divisions at the same time.

"Can I kindly know your name, age, level, and kindly tell me a little bit about yourself, Sir…" The Demi-human staff that was assigned to the registration area for The Eccentric Combat Type Division asked Weyron with a hospitable smile.

"Sure!" Weyron said as he smiled in response. Then, he continued, saying, "The name's Weyron the Great! Twenty Years Old, Level Fourteen, and I like catgirls!"

The demi-humans could not help but force out a smile out of astonishment from Weyron. But before the Pop could even utter a word, Weyron chuckled, saying, "I am just kidding! Anyway… If you want to know something about me… Perhaps I could say that I am good with annoying people! Hahahaha!"

Pedro and the other players could only force out a smile in response as if they were agreeing to what he said. In fact, even Pedro thought to himself deep inside, saying, 'At least… You are honest to yourself!'

That said, the demi-human staff simply recorded everything on a piece of paper. Afterward, he took out a metal card with the letter "D" engraved in it—signifying his rank within the Adventurer's Guild which was Tier D.

On the other side of the card was a runic formation that was engraved with a size of around a centimeter on each character. Then, the demi-human staff said, "I'll give you this Identification Card after you can pay for the registration fee of twenty bronze coins."

"So strict…" Weyron could not help but force out a smile in response. At this moment, Weyron simply took out twenty bronze coins from his inventory bag and said, "Here's the payment! Twenty Bronze Coins, right?"

The demi-human simply nodded in response with a smile on his face. Then, he said, "Yes, Sir Weyron! It's twenty bronze coins!"

At this moment, the demi-human handed over the Metal Identification Card to Weyron and said, "Sir Weyron, please put a drop of your blood into the Metal Identification Card so that it would be bound to you. At the same time… It would be your ticket from going in and out of the territory of the Adventurer's Guild! On top of that, it would be the item to be shown to the Adventurer's Guild's Office to obtain Quests. And since Sir Weyron is a Tier D adventurer, I suggest for you to head to the office and find some Quests to take after this."

"Going to work again, huh?" Weyron mumbled to himself. Then, he sighed and said, "Thanks for your guidance!"

The demi-human simply nodded in response with a smile on his face. At this moment, Weyron stood of his seat and was about to head to the office area of the Adventurer's Guild. However, before he could even leave, he noticed the cute presence of Faunia, making him approach her and ask, "Hi, little girl! Are you also a part of the Adventurer's Guild? If not… Then, I suggest that you back inside the Kingdom! This is not the place where kids like you could safely play!"

Pedro simply chuckled by himself in response as Faunia glared towards Weyron and said, "I am giving you one warning, human! Don't mess with me!"

"I am not messing with you! I am just a concerned elder, can't you see?" Weyron said as he forced out a smile towards Faunia—whom he thought was a bit disrespectful for a child. Then, Weyron glanced towards Pedro and asked, "Perhaps, Sir Aron, she is your daughter? Why is she a bit disrespectful to her elders?"

Pedro was about to burst into laughter. But before he was able to do so, Faunia sent a strong punch towards Weyron's guts and said, "Manners… are only for humans!"
