Two white and black blobs, shot through the forest like bullets, banging against the thick trees of Floor 3’s famous misty expanse.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNwfVFxBL1
They screeched an inhumane screech, and on closer look, they would reveal to be mobs.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelJnWh4DKS
Not just any mobs either.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XhLTsLelm
The holographic names floating above their heads would give away their statuses.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH8s6VdP7m
These were twin field bosses.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxRgqfoCXD
Rabbid Ragus to be exact. 384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiYl1jd00B
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMhHPPKrCA
Apparently reuniting a lost bunny with another bunny meant both bunnies turned into hideous creatures and tried to chomp your head off.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhhHyu9ttp
That, and they hated carrots.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlixSduYy93
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-
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdGJ0tri0A
‘Now!’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFMmilkXxw
Saito glanced forward as time seemed to slow down.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCOasd7X8u
Falling, right across from him, a black-haired boy, equipped with a shortsword and a dagger readied himself.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULCMERAw5h
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 384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMvjNC27Mi
Fell Crescent
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡailAzGxR69
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOscis2eJF
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFS2AopVwD
WR: 43% (-10%)
BR: 56% (-5) (+5% B)
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vLcM47NrO
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CWQdRjAtq
“How the hell was that not a kill shot?! I stabbed you in the flipping head! Are you just not anatomically corr- Wo-Woah!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l33pMo1JA
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugd1dXfeBA
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcAaX5pOox
Thankfully they’d now found a clearing in the misty forest.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKUgXPrcqR
‘All the space they could ever need. Is this why they were running away from us?’ Saito thought tiredly, scanning the battlefield.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9O6PnJxMy
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lAfYwbnQJ
However, he would barely get to express his annoyance as the White Ragu roared again, like the monster it was.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC12aietQ1Z
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmpRtSdE5j
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJQ8bOW1fT
Saito grinned morbidly.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU9lUKTtgq
“You’re one nasty bunny.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDYQjcHKZY
The Ragu raised its serrated claws, priming them for the slaughter.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK3Te7bgvX
And with a final swipe, Saito thought he was a goner.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHja7T4d3kI
CLANG!
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZqYTH76zF
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlhcQJxQJs
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagpOgE6aXr
Suddenly her shield exploded in a furious flash of white and Kirie threw her arms up.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3Zrq3vb0G
“Ragh!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLI8awrGo3
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb9kYIUq86
“Ren, pad! Go!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcF71rLuFf
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iI5TBFoOd
Ren, the redhead Hellcat herself, rushed forward like an experienced javelin thrower, pumping her arms up and down as she swiftly neared Kirie.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkBa2MfnQt
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjavRELhzlr
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJPlM9FYV7
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCByjw3rjz
“HEY FLUFFLES!” She screamed.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaB5uUbLbl
The white bunny reared its head upward, red eyes glinting with glee.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkM0AgDF64
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORhoI5rsdn
“COME AND GET IT!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOnwQuBRtG
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHOcSP3BNz
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJLjqYVTiL
VWEEE!
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3nJvqNwvV
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIbqKE4bVn
WHOOM!
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iayq1PtvG
Another shockwave ensued from the impact and Saito was left mouth ajar as all that remained were lightly sprinkled remnants of data.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSAZ92UqAn
‘What the absolute-’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF88oulNFC
“Saito get your ass up!” Kirie yelled running over and extending her hand. “We still got one more.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk4omyxOIn
Saito blinked as the Black Ragu raged right behind them, now tussling with the newest members of the group, Tamashi, Jyun, and Irene.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73HvdW1aJQ
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.”

…
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9GWHz6KGC
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWqSKtselO
“You really think I’d come up with that extravagant mess on my own? Psha.” Saito snorted.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtwYWYztkc
“Exactly,” Trinity agreed, inspecting her nails, her other arm resting against the hilt of her slender rapier.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpldqvhg0lX
The violet-haired teen smirked smugly.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelhE86YRbK
“Saito doesn’t have words like “allyship” in his vocabulary.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi73FcpstMm
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYfrD5aIUV
“Alright, alright,” Kirie said, clapping her hands twice. “Let’s focus up, people. This is the quest we’ve been waiting for.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUeiuMCsYd
“Exactly,” Tamashi agreed with a wry grin. “The guild formation quest!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMeZhc4Rcv
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYJZYKTF20
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60JCzcCI6D
“Which means, either someone’s lying,” Saito said, staring right at the tree bark in front of him.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8CCHb19nY
“Or every quest is different.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrSTg8CVjk
Jyun nodded.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUttKjzjaM
“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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEHZPrt3br
“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!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1egvpe6zhB
Saito threw his hands in the air, parchment and all.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FJFSd688q
“I would if I knew how it worked! I said the line, nothing happened.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTEFl0amVB
“Well, maybe it needs someone else to say it. Gimme.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8wxApQ3jo
“Wait what? No, I'm the leader, I’m saying it!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaAj6QAI0j
“Saito we don’t have time for this, gimme the paper!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsP7CzbEdh
“Ren stop! We agreed! Guild leader gets to say it!!! WE AGREED!!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiK9a71x28
“AGREEING DOESN’T HELP US START THE QUEST!!!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlaCdRLH2W
FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoBS1bMali
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4VDR92FRV
They were about to get scolded.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSszI1hqYtR
And boy did they, Kirie spent the next 30 seconds ripping them a new one, it was so bad even Trinity winced for them.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMnIx7h0Rd
However, she soon calmed down.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53GZMy253F
“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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pzarur8CZ
The two looked at Kirie, then each other, before pulling themselves away and straightening out.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP7AfKZAYx
“Mhm.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIXxMmcm74
“Got it, Kirie.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfGJeNnHfO
Taking a deep breath, Saito was about to speak, before Trinity chimed in.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Gr7abMLG
“Saito.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwRVDIklPP
“What?” He deadpanned, waiting for the telltale jab.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx8tUaJvAV
Trinity paused for a moment, then spoke up.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzo6KAIz6g
“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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiItu4QR8tD
Saito looked at her oddly for a moment or two, then blinked back to reality.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n1QaED1zR
‘Wow, actual advice.’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R9d1yRVya
“Right… okay.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXSuPl6G0m
He then began again, this time, with a more deliberate tone.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIJrdAKYtQ
“Are you who they say you are?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK1zh1MeJK
That first line, spoken with confidence that time, sent a gust of wind breezing through the group, warm and inviting.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKP1Hj0HE6
“ The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of unity?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjouTf8tExw
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebWLGnNVdj
“Uhhh…”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHJo3X9IKg
“If so open your old heart to us…”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ygPUlQe0k
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIKhF5k27i
Saito spoke the end of the sentence…
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7YmrYgUpY
“...so that we can prove our worth as your saplings.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt0peIMKJ1
...and everything went quiet.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlscYoSxktJ
The winds stopped.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogJWCpoTO1
The light dimmed.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnciwcbh1oL
The trees halted their rustle.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjIpMTZfEQ
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-
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQgedXGU9d
Phoosh!
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1guEw8G1s
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60D3OsZgAX
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UlqHHsWYi
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lsbdA7LSH
“Is that-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35roq663gY
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocL7hzJJGy
So he decided to look too.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOFa7a3VnD
And boy, did he empathize.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRocv0WwPNX
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJeCJNmPTj
Tamashi shot both fists into the air and roared.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxzbfd6cGb
“WHOO!! GUILD QUEEESST!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorBpburIQL
“Let's goooo!!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfbHSNq7Du
“Yayyy!!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuBGucBsna
The group erupted into a cluster of cheers, hugs, and very weird dance moves.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCubFeLuTB
Seriously, Calder’s robot was horrible.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoKQ3narhS
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WsZWr8kJw
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmOYDm9SYu
Ren clapped her hands twice. “Alright team, this is where we do the thing!” She grinned.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAESvzWTscF
“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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nlwhhufyE
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV9MBKeM5x
Saito saw the clear absence of talking as a chance and immediately stepped up next to her, turning to their group.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm5u5aFp58
“Okay, you guys remember the groups, right?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvdpWDMOvh
“Yes,” Jyun spoke up. “Holi, Tamashi, Inori, and I team up with you.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmZJv9C1ht
The tall assassin nodded his head of dark hair over to Ren. “And Ren teams up with Kirie, Trinity, and Calder.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN5rUP3ypk
Saito nodded as everyone naturally buddied up with those on their respective teams. “Correct. The-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuIPIG9Vlv
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdAqlxbDfd
Before Saito could utter a word, Kirie spoke up right after.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg4tPNx9a0
“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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI410GZNiYt
She said seriously, staring each member of her party in the eyes.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpdI6crosK
“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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2OFE3GpF4
She’d gotten it from defeating a Marauder Captain boss on Floor 5.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnRwk4UgUv
Her blonde hair was done up in a ponytail and her scarlet eyes backed all the truth behind the words she’d spoken.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXB2160jZq
“Aaaahhh!! Mama Kirie’s so cool!!!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfxOgwP8yP
“Yes ma’am’s!” Trinity saluted playfully, as everyone energized themselves off of their words, earnestly readying up.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fX2t4UPXF
Saito gulped hard.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z96cDc4z1
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLEYV2OYR8
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.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFipGkI6usP
