"He is finally here," I announced to the core members, and they were surprised to find someone coming out from the Town's Portal.

I tried to gain my composure back since meeting him here after I had given him the credits to pass through the Portal was really worth it.

After the blue light dissipated from the Town Portal, a young man, slightly older than me by a year appeared.

He was wearing an all-leather armour suit and was a mix and match and was not a complete set at all.

He was Level 12, three levels lower than me and 9 levels lower than the core members.

In his hands, he held a full leather bonded kite shield and a one-handed fire-poker on the other.

I called it a fire poker because it was an unnamed sword that he was wielding at the moment...!

The moment he saw me, his eyes lit up since he had never expected to meet the person was the same person after all.

He saw that the person who had invited him over was none other than the girl that had ordered the A-Class and S-Class nutrients which he had delivered some hours ago.

"Hello, again. It is nice to see you here. I never expected the one who messaged me to be you. Such a small world, ain't it?"

I laughed as I confirmed that Ron was the same Ron that would be fighting by my side in years to come.

"Thanks for the credit...Err, how shall I address you? Your ID is masked right now, right? Don't worry, I am here to stay since no one helped me back in Ascon. Been a lone wolf all this while since the day I registered."

His statement alone made some of the adventurers gaped since for a lone wolf to level up to Level 12 without any party members was really a feat.

"So how has it been going, Ascon is a great place to start a fishing career, right?"

"Hahaha... I am done with fishing. I am not here to gain paltry amounts in fishing and grilling, but I am here as an adventurer. Guessed I did not read the Wikipedia properly and landed at Ascon as it had the least number of participants. Wow...! I didn't know that this City is really huge, as huge as the world itself."

"Yeah, too bad your fishing rod is account bound or else you could give it away to Tinkerbell here that really would exchange her Pickaxe with you. By the way, you can address me as Za, and I am the Captain for the moment. We invited you over to fight alongside us for a common cause. Having two MT would not be a problem as you would pair off with Snowball here. Hah...! Both of you are named after Snow...!!! By the way, let me introduce you to the rest of the core members here. The rest behind is the new gamers who are a mix and match of Lifestyle gamers as well as adventurers."

I led Snowbunny over to meet the rest of the core gamers, and I knew Snowball felt a heavy heart when he saw another MT joining the ranks.

"Here is our tenth member of the core members to sign and register the name for our Guild. I know that he is 3 levels under me and 9 levels below any of you, but I am sure he is much better than any of the pioneers here, am I right?"

I knew that I had prophesied with the core members of the addition of SnowBunny, as therefore they have to accept my final say. Besides, the other core members have no qualms for me to bring in an acquaintance over to be part of the 10core members that would sign the 10-man agreement to register the Guild.

"Alright then, enough talk for now. Once the Lifestyle gamers and adventurers had been deployed, we would head back to the Procurement and Registrar's Office."

I cleared the doubts that were hanging in the air, and soon the core members assigned the Master Sergeants to proceed to their designated locations and duties.

The core members also reminded everyone to purchase a pouch to extend their spatial storage space to have 15 slots instead of 10. Everyone complied, and everyone went about to their tasks.

At least for now, the new gamers had a direction in their pursuit being a member of the Guild. As for now, everyone was considered as casual gamers.

After the initial introductory among the core members, all 10 of us walked over to the Registrar's Office to sign the 10-man agreement to register a Guild's name.

*Congratulations to Silent Knight. You had successfully registered the first third-tier Guild ever in The Lord Of The Red Dragon. Your 10 core members would receive the following: 1,000 credits, 5,000 reputation points, 5,000 EXP Bonus and a Bronze Treasure Chest each. The building of your Guild would be completed on New Year's Eve at 1800hrs. Please check your in-game system panel for more information.*

The moment we signed the agreement that needed 10 signature from 10 core members, we received notifications that rung out thrice throughout the public announcement service. It was not only through Votrieburg City but to the rest of the world too, and after 4 days, some group of people was able to establish a workshop and Guild Hall...!

From being the unknown, we became known immediately as a parenthesis with the words [SK] was registered beside the names of the core members.

"Wow... We really looked like a Guild now. Everyone would be damn jealous of us. So our Guild would be ready by New Year's Eve, and I can't wait to see who contributes the most so we would know how loyal these new gamers would be, am I right?"

One of the core members pointed out, and I can't help but agree with it. Even SnowBunny was delighted to know that the Captain before him had made plans that would skyrocket the Levels of competency.

"Since everyone here has their Guild names over your head, expect a lot of resistance from the other gamers that had planned to have their first Guild registered. However, we had beaten them to it and once again our names would be the bane for others. You will see in the next coming few hours for sure. What I advise is to mask your ID at this moment and hide it until the next moment arrives. You will see what I mean. At the meantime, all the masonry that you had in your personal storage could be placed inside the Votrieburg City Storage Merchant. Here is the passcode to enter and deposit the items. Tinkerbell, you would be the one in charge of transferring the masonries to the Guild Hall in the future, alright?"

Tinkerbell gladly accepted the task and everyone received the passcode to enter the Votrieburg City Storage to store all the masonries. They also would be depositing the semi-precious gemstones inside there without question. Besides, to grow the prowess of one's Guild is to gather as many resources as possible in the first stage.

"Captain, how about me? I have some grilled prawns with me. I did not grill anymore since I am leaning towards adventures and not Lifestyle. How about I give the rest of my fishes to Tinkerbell and then the resources I will store in the Votrieburg City Storage. What is the next plan, Captain?"

"I am going to purchase the outer city limit commercial space next. Then off to Auction Hall. Why don't you tag along with the others and then I would notify everyone once I am done. There are some books I need to purchase over at the Auction Hall that would be most advantageous to everyone. I wished to start the Blacksmithing and Armoursmith Lifestyle soon since the new Lifestyle gamers had gone to perform their primary tasks - which is gathering and harvesting."

"Right, will do, Captain." SnowBunny hopped to join the rest of the core members and were talking and gesticulating with Snowball since both shared nearly the same name and also shared the same primary professions.

"Say, Snowball...where would we be heading next once we had deposited the items into the Votrieburg City Storage?"

"Let's go grinding then. You may need an upgrade of armours and your sword too. We MT would need to deal with damage as well as tank those mobsters."

"Don't you think it would be better to dodge rather than tanking since we would be absorbing damage and also put a burden to the healers? Unless we are at Level 50, then I am sure we could block those mobsters and deal damage at the same time."

SnowBunny was explaining to Snowball on how he had managed to stay alive this way since he dodges more than he absorbs the damage from foes.

"God Damn, SnowBunny...! What you said really makes sense...We have not picked our secondary professions yet and still waiting for Captain to inform us about it. She was trying to figure out the best secondary professions for us...!"
