Chapter 4 – Return 4
An unbearable sense of solitude and loneliness, and worries about being attacked by a strong man poured out from the stars and moons tightly packed in the sky.
Beneath the shady bridge, beggars and vagrants who might be in a big city in a fantasy were living their lives. The moment I went in between them and met even a golab, the events of the day were just repeating, so I sat down with my buttocks spread out in an appropriately empty space.
The answer might have been to not come out of the [Priest’s Sanctuary] Until dawn. A bum NPC ran past me, but I didn’t even squeal. The tramp also said nothing to me.
If this is a game… At least you won’t have to worry about your body when you go out at night. It’s just a background effect where the streets become dark and the sky is filled with stars and moons instead of the sun.
However, as I walked, I saw that the number of guards guarding the streets at night was extremely reduced. In [Thearesia Online], Where the sense of reality was extremely strong, it was obvious what would happen when a woman who was worse than an NPC walked around on a night with no security.
Should I go to the guild?
If you go with a character who is not a member of the [Luts] Guild, which is no different from a criminal organization, you will be barred from the doorstep. If it were a game, this would also be one of the pleasures of ‘punishing those who did not recognize the road horse’, but it is not clear whether this situation is in the game or not.
Or there might be no guild called [Roots] At all. I want to rule out this possibility. Still, it’s better than falling asleep here, getting caught somewhere, and being sold at a window. It seems that he is weighed down by the brutality of a warrior he experienced during the day and an excessive sense of reality. You have to play with as much care as possible.
Let’s see, I see a fairly dark [Guild district] Where it was in the game.
As you can see from the name [Guild District], This is a place where guild houses are gathered. As a starting city, there are various small and medium sized guilds. It was quite a distance, but there were very few people on the bridge, so it was worth going.
I got up, brushed the dust off my buttocks, and walked. I don’t know if this is real or a game, so I have to meet a player who knows. At least if you hang around the guild, someone you know will come out.
After walking around the [Guild District] For a while, [Stamina] Ran out, and my legs were full of eggs, and I wanted to sit down. If this is the case, isn’t the game character weaker than me in real life? Still, do you sit down in a dark place, knowing what kind of disaster you will get.
I moved even on foot, and soon after, a large five-story fantasy building with a signboard reading [Roots] Appeared. At least this one existed! Looking up at the visible part of the guild moving in the dark, and the dazzling exterior of the building, laughter leaked out.
I am the owner of a splendid building in the [Guild District] Of [Rubo Castle] Where the land is expensive. And he is the master of one of the world’s five largest guilds. I confidently straightened my shoulders and walked toward the guild’s main gate, when two huge spears split in front of me in an x-shape.
Only then did he look up to find the owner of the huge spear. On both sides were guarded by those wearing blue heavy armor that absorbs light even darker in the dark.
The sharp armor with green spikes gives off an [Aura of Fear] That makes you fearful just by looking at it. It was an item that appeared as a mercenary item in the latest raid with an item level of over 350 units.
“Stop the motion, show me the means of transportation.”
“Yes? On the subject of one mercenary… “
“What, if you don’t have it, go back. I don’t have time to deal with you.”
Thinking that no mercenary would dare let me in as a guild master, I looked down and saw not strong muscles, but slender arms and two breasts timidly fluffed with cloth. Right now, I am not the guild master ‘Fenrir’, but a weak, low-level priest.
“Ah… “
If I openly cursed in front of the guard, I thought it would be like when I met the warrior a while ago, so I swallowed a bitter smile and turned around. It’s a guild passage… Was there anything like that? While I was gone, one of the decision makers might have prevented anyone from entering the guild. Or maybe it’s because of this patch.
I turned around to ask what the means of transportation was and stood in front of a guard who seemed several times taller than me. My legs trembled just by looking at it, and my heart shrank with chills. As soon as I tried to say something, my strength naturally let go.
The mercenaries must have been hostile to me, and it seems that they have received the [Aura of Fear] Effect.
“Sat, what is the means of transportation… Yo?”
“A proof to prove that you are a guild member.”
“…”
When the mercenary spoke, I was crushed by his words. Can not help it. The effect from that aura is to drive away hostile debris-
When I came to my senses after a while, I was running away from them. When I reached a place out of their sight, my heart pounded and my legs gave way and I fell. He looked down at the floor and breathed heavily, covering his eyes in shame.
“Sigh… Sigh… “
In addition, something lukewarm flowed down the skirt of the priest’s uniform and the inside of her legs along her thighs. [Aura of fear] Even pissed me off. It’s not that I shed it, but tears and runny nose flowed out, so it’s a mess.
However, I felt the presence of people in the alley where people should be rare. I collapsed to the floor, ate as calmly as I could without howling like a girl, and hid myself in a nearby shelter. Compared to the main character, the body fits into the cover that looks like a box with a small body.
“Hey, Mr. Pak. Can’t you do it right?”
“Shhh- someone is watching. Didn’t you hear something just now?”
“…”
But I was mistaken in thinking that I hadn’t been caught.
– Took
“Sigh… ?”
“Oh my God, priestess, what were you watching here?”
“The witnesses would have told you to kill them all, but what are you doing there? Oh, I caught the stick.”
“Ouch… !”
The man looked like a player. Dressed as a thief, he came to me with [Shadow Stepping] While I was taking cover in a sitting position and grabbed my legs and lifted me up.
Stupid, stupid, and stupid again.
“Stand still!”
“… Fuck, stop, search! Ouch!”
In the meantime, the immobilized limbs were caught. Another thief who came running later licked the knife and tore the skirt of the new priest’s uniform. I belatedly wiggled my limbs to resist, but when the cold knife approached my neck, I got goosebumps and couldn’t do anything.
“Be quiet.”
“Oh, hey, no panties. Was it actually the priest who secretly revealed it behind the scenes?”
“A corrupt priest? Aren’t there only priests and penance priests? But do you rebel like this? Actually, isn’t it very lewd?”
“Kiaaaaah!”
The moment I closed my eyes and screamed, I felt a gust of wind pass by. At the same time hot liquid poured on me. When I opened my eyes, which had been closed for a moment, everyone was lying on the ground covered in blood. And in my eyes, ripped apart in a mess, the silhouette of bone armor epaulettes in a black hood came into view.
“Sigh… Haha… You, you, no… You.”
As he walked, his boots clattering, his figure was revealed in the moonlight. Light green hair peeked out from between the black hood. A plain face with a blurry impression seems to be covered by a mask.
This player was also a [Thief], And the one on his waist was a steampunk-style musket. A lot of skulls were attached to the leather vest. The style that seemed out of control and didn’t suit me was too familiar to me.
“… [Done].”
“It was noisy, so I just helped.”
I finally met someone I knew in the game. Finally… Quite coincidentally, a player like my limbs appeared. Done is a born genius PK user. The only one loss he recorded was mine after a week of PK. He was just lucky to win with ‘Fenrir’ that could be said to be a fraudulent character.
Done glanced at me and turned away as if he were a stranger. Then slowly move his steps. He could hardly hear his footsteps. It was unrealistic to walk without wavering even after killing two people in an instant. So I was relieved to confirm that I was still cheating in the game.
I followed him walking slowly. Other than that, I had no other options. Even though it was a street filled with high-level silence in the form of darkness, he was not afraid at all with Done by his side.
“Why are you following me?”
“Done, it’s me. Grow.”
“So who am I?”
“… It’s ‘Fenrir’.”
It might surprise me if I revealed my name, but the clatter from Done’s boots didn’t stop. Done, who did not react even slightly, continued walking towards the guild.
I kept chasing the difference in steps that came from the difference in physique. Again, a terrible silence filled the space between us, and I had no choice but to breathe instead of speak.
“Is that so, then why didn’t you come back to the guild right away?”
“It just became like this as soon as I created the warehouse character.”
“Okay. Do you know what happened right now?”
“I can’t even log out, and my senses are unnecessarily sharp.”
“Yes, even within the guild, everyone is taking it seriously. Everyone doubts that maybe this has become a reality.”
The soft tone of the character Donera calmed my heart. And I felt like I knew how serious the update was that everyone was doing the doubts I had – this place is not in the game, but in reality.
“Fortunately, most of the hard users in the guild have returned. The reason some people couldn’t come might be because they weren’t in the guild, but I’ve been ordered by the assistants to find guild people, so I’ll take them.”
We reached the front of the guild house, whose silhouette was brightly lit by the moonlit night. The position was still guarded by a mercenary emitting [Aura of fear]. But this time, the [Aura of Fear] Effect didn’t affect me, as if I was treated as a party with Done. The guards nod as Done pulls out something from the inside of his vest and holds it out.
“Beside…”
“He is my acquaintance.”
“Hmm, go in.”
The mercenary’s eyes seemed to be looking at me terribly, but I was not afraid as I held Done’s hand tightly. As soon as I entered the guild house, I felt comfortable as if I had returned to my own home.
