Two white and black blobs, shot through the forest like bullets, banging against the thick trees of Floor 3’s famous misty expanse.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUHAZxEwHi
They screeched an inhumane screech, and on closer look, they would reveal to be mobs.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74YGtAeBZl
Not just any mobs either.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbUl1RFMOH
The holographic names floating above their heads would give away their statuses.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOer9y6YmSm
These were twin field bosses.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZZQy0bAM6
Rabbid Ragus to be exact. 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYpuG77ytt
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXXKXFQrvJ
Apparently reuniting a lost bunny with another bunny meant both bunnies turned into hideous creatures and tried to chomp your head off.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8nbeHcAjH
That, and they hated carrots.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavrgbH2ypv
Saito rolled his eyes at the thought, currently descending from the treetops he was waiting in. If his plan was correct then they’d converge at the same spot, around-
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpc0XSIk4d
‘Now!’
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvuQAMieqc
Saito glanced forward as time seemed to slow down.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG37xBVmes
Falling, right across from him, a black-haired boy, equipped with a shortsword and a dagger readied himself.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVmThThFNn
He caught Saito’s look, and as the two Ragus converged into the same spot, tongues, and fangs gnashing every which way, the players activated their skills.

Falling Sword 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ91g1b7bWL
Fell Crescent
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0qJpg97g9
Saito’s body seemed to elongate as he covered the final 4-meter distance within the span of 0.4 seconds. His eyes glinted wide as he swiftly plunged his luminescent, curved blade right into the White Ragu’s skull.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM8qNS4q8e
Jyun was a tad later, however, he made his presence clear, whipping his sword arm through the air and slicing right through the spinal apex of the mob’s back.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqLk9lFpQt
WR: 43% (-10%)
BR: 56% (-5) (+5% B)
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe12Wp4HnFR
Saito grunted as he pulled for his weapon, now messily riding atop the White Ragu. Its skull felt like steel gnashing against Saito’s blade, and the curly-haired player growled with frustration.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqMMApDxmA
“How the hell was that not a kill shot?! I stabbed you in the flipping head! Are you just not anatomically corr- Wo-Woah!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyZl0q4cym
As if over Saito’s antics, The White Ragu crashed into a nearby tree and fell straight through, sending the player and a bunch of forestries every which way.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI7aHZkcm7
“Cugh! Ack!” Saito coughed as his body skipped across the ground. He threw his free hand down to slow himself and forced his legs to stretch out and gain traction.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgvM1fSR6R
Thankfully they’d now found a clearing in the misty forest.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAVA8S0rTb
‘All the space they could ever need. Is this why they were running away from us?’ Saito thought tiredly, scanning the battlefield.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6At5fqR6ij
The Black Ragu rushed into the clearing right after its buddy, and Saito saw no Jyun. His Searching skill confirmed it. His eyes returned to their regular brown, the green glow fading, along with his patience.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvDkyKZzY2
However, he would barely get to express his annoyance as the White Ragu roared again, like the monster it was.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrHLMeqvCE
The lovely sound deafened Saito and left him frozen. He grunted, yet still could not move. Eyes wide, he spied his health bar, and indeed, his worst nightmares were true.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0u35nqhUf
He’d been Stunned. The ten-second timer was already on 8, but it wouldn’t be fast enough, Saito was a goner, and it seemed the Ragu knew it too, a sickly smile coming to life on its hideous face.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo98XRQSPI
Saito grinned morbidly.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnlLOBwG0m
“You’re one nasty bunny.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLpu04TaaV
The Ragu raised its serrated claws, priming them for the slaughter.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg59ZJqeRS
And with a final swipe, Saito thought he was a goner.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyUy3rnLik
CLANG!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1bus4ALNx
Saito’s eyes slowly widened as flecks of blonde flowed into his view. Slamming her pentagonal metal against those wicked claws, Kirie appeared out of nowhere.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaHe3165Pd
The green light emanating off her guard sputtered and burst through every moment of the clash and Kirie’s scarlet eyes bored daggers at the killer bunny.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirzTEf3feA
Suddenly her shield exploded in a furious flash of white and Kirie threw her arms up.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ahxx1hIxQ
“Ragh!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDR0u5QaHN
Like magic, the Ragu’s claws were instantly thrown back as if ricocheted by an unknown force. This was thanks to her skill, Push, and it had been heavily upgraded since her first use of it back on Floor 1.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jvvH7BNSm
“Ren, pad! Go!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9H5sSl5gz
Saito looked back just in time to see a flash of red fly by. His head cocked back as his eyes took in the sight.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJLEDZeCRF
Ren, the redhead Hellcat herself, rushed forward like an experienced javelin thrower, pumping her arms up and down as she swiftly neared Kirie.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYZBKO61q4
The blonde lowered her hands from her previous parry and hunkered down keeping her shield above her. Another skill began to load up as Ren launched herself at the glowing metal.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZg5NKhaVa
As soon as Kirie felt Ren land, she flexed her muscles and ground her teeth, thrusting her body upward and throwing her arms into the air with, subsequently, Ren herself.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS5oD3m0JD
Red locks flying through the wind, Ren struggled to aim herself right where she wanted, but with a downward angle of her liking, she was ready.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrG4WndPxf
“HEY FLUFFLES!” She screamed.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqql3EzrdZq
The white bunny reared its head upward, red eyes glinting with glee.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX59ORCSTD
New prey had been acquired, and Ren grinned like the madwoman she was, reeling her arm back. Her spear suddenly ignited with a blue flare and she sucked in as much air into her lungs as possible.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9hBWduNoI
“COME AND GET IT!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt6C5YzPpV
The White Ragu catapulted into the air, aggroed to Ren and her alone. What would follow Ren’s banshee-like screech would be an animalistic show of strength, as the redhead chucked her spear with reckless abandon.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57V9M3AT2c
The polearm jettisoned through the air like a shooting star and when it impacted with the tip of the Ragu’s cranium, an azure, four-pointed shockwave blasted out from every which way.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq0R8hs4JG
VWEEE!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMH9UOMp4m
The spear spun at such a high velocity that Javelin Toss completely bored through the mob, blasting out the back of the boss and flying straight into the ground.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOnGDHLGYo
WHOOM!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKgvsY2APw
Another shockwave ensued from the impact and Saito was left mouth ajar as all that remained were lightly sprinkled remnants of data.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4l61uSTmj
‘What the absolute-’
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzzTVyKYsp
“Saito get your ass up!” Kirie yelled running over and extending her hand. “We still got one more.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvgRDLIrwq
Saito blinked as the Black Ragu raged right behind them, now tussling with the newest members of the group, Tamashi, Jyun, and Irene.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dhw5VFJuw
Saito flourished his curved sword as Ren landed in a roll next to them, and Calder jogged up on the opposite side. With Kirie leading the charge, the four would join their compatriots in taking down what was essentially indistinguishable from a homeless person’s fever dream.

“Are you who they say you are…? The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of u-unity? If so open your old heart to us, so that we can prove our worth as your… saplings? What the hell.”

…
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNGGeC6hLb
“Okay is that really what it says on there?” Ren asked, red hair swaying as she walked up next to Saito. She squinted, looking over his shoulder.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6coxZIiyRI
“You really think I’d come up with that extravagant mess on my own? Psha.” Saito snorted.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKb6U5Bdho
“Exactly,” Trinity agreed, inspecting her nails, her other arm resting against the hilt of her slender rapier.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ87kStkQlH
The violet-haired teen smirked smugly.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJb67jAusd
“Saito doesn’t have words like “allyship” in his vocabulary.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMffFxCA4F4
Irene, Tamashi, Calder, and Jyun all failed miserably at hiding their laughter and Saito’s subsequential glare aimed to pierce right through Trinity, who confidently smiled back.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhri493XGNF
“Alright, alright,” Kirie said, clapping her hands twice. “Let’s focus up, people. This is the quest we’ve been waiting for.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCXpQITn0B
“Exactly,” Tamashi agreed with a wry grin. “The guild formation quest!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VcKUNT5MT
Calder rubbed his chin with his free hand, his other crossed in his arms. “No one that we’ve talked to about the guild formation quest has ever given us the same answer.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8o1PLT5tX
Holi nodded. “That is true, the DDA said they had to secure a baby dragon, the ALS is rumored to have fought against a tribe of Blood Orcs, and the KOB won’t even release what they had to go through to complete the quest.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsg3IXEJC9
“Which means, either someone’s lying,” Saito said, staring right at the tree bark in front of him.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOpoI84tPA
“Or every quest is different.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O9hruy2lv
Jyun nodded.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcls1gFTYP
“Argo herself stated that guilds never had matched up stories. Accessing the quest was different, as well as completing it. Which means our experience will be completely original. Finding the smallest tree bark in the Wavering Forest was our first clue from the quest giver, but others may have had different beginnings.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyvxrU7TJM
“I like that.” Ren popped her fist into the palm of her other hand. “Gunning down our own path from the start. I can definitely get behind that. Let’s hurry this up, Saito, I wanna get a move on!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo4nfyZsfH
Saito threw his hands in the air, parchment and all.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ISX11qTUg
“I would if I knew how it worked! I said the line, nothing happened.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGX5za1oQZ
“Well, maybe it needs someone else to say it. Gimme.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoZoCQCwCA
“Wait what? No, I'm the leader, I’m saying it!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx4sBZGI5y
“Saito we don’t have time for this, gimme the paper!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d52HpY8Ux
“Ren stop! We agreed! Guild leader gets to say it!!! WE AGREED!!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSSEHAbTOz
“AGREEING DOESN’T HELP US START THE QUEST!!!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw6wGtEY7v
FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZWrtywO0q
Kirie’s deafening whistle would put a screeching stop to their antics, and Ren and Saito froze where they were. Kirie frowned and Irene covered her ears out of habit.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVNkpOjN4a
They were about to get scolded.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka4FchyUjr
And boy did they, Kirie spent the next 30 seconds ripping them a new one, it was so bad even Trinity winced for them.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgycOf20Nn
However, she soon calmed down.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6ZLFRrvK6
“Come on you guys, let’s be serious about this. Saito try one more time, and if it doesn’t work, you give it to Ren.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRVVocNkTQ
The two looked at Kirie, then each other, before pulling themselves away and straightening out.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK5xorWAVr
“Mhm.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlOu10ExZZ
“Got it, Kirie.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeHyhYtYFR
Taking a deep breath, Saito was about to speak, before Trinity chimed in.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v3DF9ZeMg
“Saito.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtNzHPEruV
“What?” He deadpanned, waiting for the telltale jab.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3gY6CsLn9
Trinity paused for a moment, then spoke up.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdgS0BTbqd
“How you phrased the statement last time sounded like a question. This time, say it like you believe it. Maybe it needs more conviction in the words, like those old Lord of the Rings characters do.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLV7r56zBG
Saito looked at her oddly for a moment or two, then blinked back to reality.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpltWsED1l
‘Wow, actual advice.’
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8CSYLuqBw
“Right… okay.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hAZxyPvOI
He then began again, this time, with a more deliberate tone.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw2Zvei2iP
“Are you who they say you are?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAfAx450wM
That first line, spoken with confidence that time, sent a gust of wind breezing through the group, warm and inviting.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbzevMRc2B
“ The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of unity?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6kU8OUYkx
Ren took a step back, staring weirdly at the tree trunk in front of them. It began to crack, little by little, and she could’ve sworn little specks of light were shining through.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjQKxiKMEC
“Uhhh…”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQdLuJMSp1
“If so open your old heart to us…”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsYqTyeNYf
The winds picked up, and the light became brighter from inside the tree trunk. Calder and Jyun reached for their weapons, while Tamashi and Irene lowered their stances, Holi went to stand by Kirie who was now staring crazily at the shining tree.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOxBlSBeTx
Saito spoke the end of the sentence…
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GtmKpSgxN
“...so that we can prove our worth as your saplings.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjyE0xi2v9
...and everything went quiet.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vLFgxKEPn
The winds stopped.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1jdqw9K0p
The light dimmed.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrKyK6c4cZ
The trees halted their rustle.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQR9Bey7K1
No one in the group made a sound or a movement. They wouldn’t dare let a breath loose, for they could all sense this was the calm before whatever was going to-
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdsjc4uNCA
Phoosh!
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWlqzn3HXs
The tree suddenly split in half as a light beamed from within, then expanded. Saito and his friends were assaulted with a brilliant light, covering their faces and shrinking away from the marvelous shine.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3swBU3rFcv
Saito tried to reach out with his other senses, relying on his Listening skill to hear anything outside of the curses and yelps of his group mates.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOzciENY90
Then he heard it, something very telltale to his ears. He’d played enough MMOs and heard enough corridor crystals break to remember that noise, and remember it well.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tEhLSgghu
“Is that-”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju6wY2XsFH
“Woah, guys,” Ren spoke up over the others, prompting them to slowly lower their guards. When Saito dropped his arms and dared his eyes open, he would see Ren gazing forward, her brown orbs focused on something they couldn’t pry away from.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsbRPVPaJX
So he decided to look too.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02eeZyRaQH
And boy, did he empathize.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcr2gWj9wU
There, encompassed within the circular construction of the old tree, a mass of golden energy swirled within itself, the humming of kinetic power tickled against Saito’s eardrums, and his mouth split into a big grin.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTNVr7Fp6X
Tamashi shot both fists into the air and roared.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9p332Tohb
“WHOO!! GUILD QUEEESST!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlQtKaPkak
“Let's goooo!!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4whU9YVg80
“Yayyy!!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoHmktQM4e
The group erupted into a cluster of cheers, hugs, and very weird dance moves.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N97lxOW0U
Seriously, Calder’s robot was horrible.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjxnxWz95G
However, the information was correct. The good Argo delivered once again. Before Saito could speak, Ren strode forward ahead of him and turned to the group.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBnfvAPjvV
At that moment, the portal glistened behind her, its golden light accentuating the highlights of red in her hair, like the deepest flame you’d ever seen.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25xsgwF4fz
Ren clapped her hands twice. “Alright team, this is where we do the thing!” She grinned.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiKGEJqnSt
“I’ll take one group, and Saito will take another. Since we’re more than 6 we can’t all be in the same party, so we’ll work together in two groups.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGydPLlQkqq
She opened her menu with a downward swipe of her hand and began to equip her Labyrinth armor, as did everyone else. They were down on Floor 3 so they didn’t really need much protection from mobs.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHDv7SUI42
Saito saw the clear absence of talking as a chance and immediately stepped up next to her, turning to their group.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1dfN90Ti4
“Okay, you guys remember the groups, right?”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7DcBdSgY7
“Yes,” Jyun spoke up. “Holi, Tamashi, Inori, and I team up with you.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlMxUaBSqG
The tall assassin nodded his head of dark hair over to Ren. “And Ren teams up with Kirie, Trinity, and Calder.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO8YJKZCTx
Saito nodded as everyone naturally buddied up with those on their respective teams. “Correct. The-”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCTYQ4fuxm
“We’re only doing this for precaution. Considering this is a guild quest, the system may try us all as one party for this special occasion.” Ren interjected.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQGBXQGtOJ
Before Saito could utter a word, Kirie spoke up right after.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqZpXp4XBS
“Remember, every guild has given us different answers about the quest. Assume nothing about this and stick to your groups, but beyond that, stay together.”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOcIyUHQFt
She said seriously, staring each member of her party in the eyes.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7nLU35nbo
“Don’t worry about your backs, I got them. Just move forward.” She said, slipping her brand new heater shield to her arm, and tightening the strap, its surface hissing with forlorn. She then unsheathed her broadsword.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1O1t9skSO
She’d gotten it from defeating a Marauder Captain boss on Floor 5.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG8M7p8yJY
Her blonde hair was done up in a ponytail and her scarlet eyes backed all the truth behind the words she’d spoken.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYcDZW81nB
“Aaaahhh!! Mama Kirie’s so cool!!!”
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82t2tKkHQm
“Yes ma’am’s!” Trinity saluted playfully, as everyone energized themselves off of their words, earnestly readying up.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsrOdlfk0U
Saito gulped hard.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡProjOpsTSS
With that swallow went his retort, his add-ons, and any facial hint of disagreement or qualm. He sucked it up and breathed it out, expending it slowly and surely from his system.
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R2sH26vaK
When he opened his eyes again they were half-lidded, calm, and calculating. As Ren and Kirie continued with instructions and words of encouragement, Saito inspected his team silently. Said eyes flitted through the various members of this little group and his mind’s engine flipped on.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFPZGwi7Yj
