One of the closest ruins in H City, people are coming in and out.
Two eye-catching particulars can be seen, one is wearing a black crow-suit with a black umbrella, while the other one is wearing a white exquisite dopo with a white sword hanging on his waist.
They are both Yuuri and Sebastian.
Yuuri chose to visit the nearby ruins, the ruins are like the starting town of PARADISE.
The difference is, that no NPC (Non-Player Character) is here.
The houses are also in ruins, even the temple of life is in a messy state. But you can see players moving in and out, there are even moving in a group.
Some are like Sebastian, too eye-catching, there are also those wearing assorted coloured clothes, they look like a rainbow.
But what makes them unique is each individual has a weapon holding, there's a sword, axe, spear, bow, staff, wand, and more.
Some are also wearing light armour, heavy armour, robes and different kind of equipment.
Before going in, Yuuri and Sebastian got a notification in the system.
[Would you like to enter Erkz Town? Yes/No]
After choosing the Yes option, the barrier that is protecting the town dissipates.
Now they can enter.
The town has players but there are no quests, 'cause no one is giving the quests.
Yuuri scanned the surrounding, he even go to the inner part of the town.
While Sebastian is still following behind thinking about something, he too is also scanning the area.
The sun is started going down, but Yuuri is still holding his umbrella.
Yuuri and Sebastian go to houses, they enter and then exit.
Sebastian doesn't have analyst skills, but Yuuri does.
Analyst skills are in the category of mind skills.
Just Yuuri's 'Discerning Eye' is a mind skill but the purpose is to Discern, whether it is information, weakness, truth, lies and many more.
Yuuri is using his 'Discerning Eye' to the fullest, he is finding something valuable, important, and useful.
But the Erkz Town doesn't contain any of it.
There are even no monsters in the surrounding.
It is already 5 pm, but Yuuri still doesn't see anything useful.
Yuuri is about to go back in when a shout attracts his attention.
"Look at the forum!! Big Announcement!! Big Announcement!! Look at the forum!!"
That shout attracted a lot of attention, Yuuri and Sebastian stops at their track and opened the forum.
In the forum, a video post is gaining a lot of attention.
It is even at the top of the recommendations.
The title is "Scarlet Guild"
It is one of the dominant guilds in PARADISE, its fame is worldwide.
They are one of the leading powerhouses that are affecting the whole PARADISE.
In the video is a woman with a beautiful appearance, she has short silver hair, red eyes, a perfect face and smooth skin.
But the quite eye-catching is her ears, it is a fox ear above her head.
She is standing and her full body can be seen, her tail is swaying.
She is also wearing clothes that look like a set, a heavy armour she wears, and a helmet that she is holding in her left hand while her other hand have a sword.
There's also a round shield in his left arm.
"I am Anastasia Doran, I am a western person. I got the first knight class which gave me 5 chances to draw in the roulette of fate. I am also the guild master of the Scarlet Guild.
I already gathered 20% of my guild members and would like to make an announcement.
My guild members around the world, all of you are still welcomed in the Scarlet Guild. I promise glory in this New Era, I will again lead us to power.
I am also looking for those who got the first class in each class, those who got the chance to draw in the roulette of fate. My Scarlet Guild is welcoming you, I promise an executive position at the table.
Although there are still no monsters appearing, I believe that soon they will emerge.
Again, I am Anastasia Doran, the guild master of Scarlet Guild."
It is a short video of about 2 minutes.
Then the video stopped and in the hologram the symbol of the Scarlet Guild which is a flower appeared.
Yuuri goes to the comment sections and there's confusion.
- What is the first class?
- Roulette of Fate? What the heck is that?
- The Scarlet Guild is already making a move while the others are not.
- Does those who got the first class get an advantage?
- Are they that special to make the Scarlet Guild put importance?
- For the person above, if they're not special then what are they?
- Articles started appearing worldwide, and even news is covered by Scarlet Guild.
- Someone willing to explain what the Scarlet guild master means?
- I am confusion.
- What's with this behaviour?
- Is this who we are?
- Is this what we represent?
- The people above, you all are so hilarious.
- Anastasia is a goddess!!
- Yes!! The goddess has spoken!!
- I am waiting for Lu Chen's announcement!
- Scarlet trash!
- God Mahaya literally should make an announcement too!!
- I am an alchemist! Does someone want to hire me?
- Looking for a guild.
- I found Isaac, he's a Russian have a big ****
- Gwenyth if you're reading this, I am your mom!
- The comments are so random, what the heck is happening?
- I'm dizzy 'cause I put too much M.S.G.
- My aunt who works abroad has been found inside the freezer.
The comments are in a state of chaos. They comment on what they want to comment on since it's public.
Well, it is normal since there are a lot of trolls.
I also expected that someone will announce the roulette of fate, but what I didn't expect is that someone will be the guild master of Scarlet Guild.
Well, not everything can be known especially in the current situation.
I glance at Sebastian, I want to know his reaction.
If he wants to go to the Scarlet Guild then I'll just erase his memories about me and what I gave him, if he still wants to stay then that's good.
Sebastian feels the gaze that Yuuri is giving him.
He doesn't know what Yuuri wants, he is also shocked about the guild master of the Scarlet Guild.
Sebastian is a solo player in PARADISE, he is not part of a faction.
But he can be said to be good, he is at level 380 and has a lot of experience in fighting.
He party sometimes if necessary, but most of the time he is alone.
He is popular and can easily interact with people, he may not be the most popular but he is a popular one.
The Scarlet Guild is not only a powerhouse in PARADISE, but they are also a giant.
There are 7 giants in PARADISE. The Scarlet Guild, Nightmare Guild, Lotus Guild, Messiah Guild, Yaksha Guild, Yamamura Guild and Cugon Plei Guild.
Each guild has different strengths, but you can't deny that they are giants.
They're known as the 7 Monarchs. The Scarlet Guild is ranked 4th among the 7.
Now that they are the first to make an announcement and the fact that Anastasia herself got the chance to draw in the roulette of fate, it is correct to say that Scarlet Guild is secured to be one of the giants again.
About the other 6, we still don't know. I look at Yuuri and asked.
"Why?"
"I want to know what you want to do. If you want to apply for Scarlet Guild you'll have a secured future, it will even be smooth sailing.
But I'll also get back what I gave you and erase your memories about me. If you still want to stay, all I can say is I am thankful and the deal is still the same."
