Chapter 26 - Joke Land

Haze started the first match verse [Eternal Fantasy] and had Zack use the .

He was able to able to kill [Ant Life] in a single attack, and also took out [Ginger] and [Lime's] shield with two swings. He versed [Eternal Fantasy] two more times and tried the gloves on Rail, and Port. They slightly reduced Rail's limiter from ten seconds to six seconds, but she was killed by [Ant Life] before she could attack.

The only other idea he had was to give the to Mace when she was training him. He looked back at Mace as she took off her clothes and put on the .

"You still haven't gotten used to looking at me yet? You created me?"

"He doesn't get to see me much," Waxing said as the combat piercing gloves touched Haze's skin. "I really hope that we can make your training go faster Haze."

"I... I am a guy. I will always be surprised when a girl strips in fornt of me," Haze blushed as the crawled onto his skin and went down his arm. "Anyways, it's red this time? Is it going to hurit me?"

"It's been boosted to a D+ training skull..." Rail walked into the room with Zack's meal, "It's a shame Waist is out doing a missionr ight now. Are you worired about her?"

"Not at all!" Haze blushed and rubbed his nose as he finally got the couarge to message [Joke Land]. "If anything, I'm more worried about how the hell we are going to capture this ghost controller... Haze sent a dierect message to Joke Land as he felt his skin start to burn. "Damn it! Can you pass me the gloves Mace?"

"I need to keep them on, sorry..." Mace gently began to masssage his back as Calli put her blonde locks against his legs. "If you don't give up, I promise to make the next session a little bit easier."

"Ugh, she replied... I'm fine Mace..." Haze smiled as he looked at [Joke Land's] avatar, which was a small golden egg with a drawing of a cute chibi on it with a black dress and large blue eyes. "Damn it, let's hope she's desperate enough to join the guild.

[Chat Window]

Haze: Tired of Losing?

Joke Land: Are you trying to be condescending, or do you have an offer, noob?" : p

Haze: You lost eight matches in a row? I take it you looked up my guild.

Joke Land: Of course I would... You're stupid enough to create a guild. Didn't you hear not to do that, so people couldn't look up your name?

Haze: I obviously knew that... I also know you lost eight matches in a row... I can help you if you help me.

Joke Land: Last guild I joined got destroyed... I'm bad luck. Like, I'll curse your guild if I join.

Haze: I'm not worried about curses! I'm worried about wasting time chatting with you! Just join!

Joke Land: Fine, I'm warning you... Send me a link and I'll visit your domain. I take it I'm much stronger than a two match rookie.

"I don't like her," Rail said as she crossed her arms, "Don't let her come here yet. She might join and quit..."

"Why would that matter?" Haze turned to Rail, and wiped the sweat off hi shead, "Why does it matter if she comes here and leaves?"

"She might have contacts... She could have lost on purpose," Zack tossed a piece of chicken in his mouth, and bit into it. "I like eating while watching television. I tmakes it more enjoyable..."

"He means... He means that if she knows someone with another company, she can sell your information..." Rail crossed her arms as she tapped her foot and pointed at the screeen. "Ask her to meet you at her domain first. Don't let her come here."

Haze sighed and scratched his head and reopend the chat. He was getting mad at himself for not thinking of these things earlier!

Haze: I'll go to your domain or no deal.

Joke Land: Deal, however, are you a guy? If you are, then you better keep your hands off me. Just a few words and every will know you're a creep.

Haze ignored that last message and sent a guild invite. He cracked his knuckles and took a deep breathe as he looked down at his red skin. "Ow! This hurts! Damn it! What are my stats at now anyway?"

"Check them after we get back," Zack said as he uncharacteristically jumped off the floor, "I bet she also has different anime. I bet it isn't better than Burn that Witch."

[Joke Land has joined [Fantasy Beach].

[She has invited you to her domain (limit of three gods). Would you like to go?]

"Ugh, yeah, I don't like her..." Ral said as she crossed her arms. "She's definitely been in a guild before. When you first join, there is a three day limit to set certain restrictions on visitors. It's for safety."

"We don't have a choice, but to go!" Haze selected [Zack], [Rail], and [Waxing]. "Lapis... Take care of the place when we get back... Calli... I'll see you soon!"

"It was short lived," Calli said as she waved as Haze disappeared. "I should go change. He might like a different outfit better..."
