Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 16: Going To the Big Market

I felt Shin's big hand pulling me to enter the village. I followed his steps while the sound of cheering was still reverberating even me.

When I entered the village, I discovered the presence of many players there watching the two of us.

Shin didn't lose his grip, instead, he tightened it more. He pulled me from a street to another until we managed to pass the crowded zone near the village gate.

At this moment when we entered a narrow alley he stopped, turned around and then said seriously:

"Remove your cloak and earring immediately. These things will announce our existence to anyone."

I understood his reason, so I rapidly removed both of them. He also removed his cloak and ring. We now became just like normal players, but it was safer that way.

I knew that everyone would start searching for two wearing cloaks hiding their identities. This would be a crazy situation.

"What should we do then?"

"Didn't you record videos? C'mon upload them and let this moment become more legendary."

I laughed. This cool swordsman loves to take full revenge over his enemies. I liked this type as I was also like him. I opened the forums to get shocked immediately.

My post has been pinned to the top and there were over tens of millions of replies over it already. I looked in astonishment to Shin who laughed while explaining:

"This game has so many players in it. You can think of it like layers upon layers. Now we are at the lowest layer. But this forum is linked in between all layers."

"Wow. I didn't imagine this game to be so popular. Millions of replies within a few hours?"

"That number is just small. I believe most veteran players in higher layers won't bother with a lower layer like ours."

"Why do they keep playing the game in these higher layers? I believe their levels now are very high."

"They are way stronger than you can imagine. This game here is the core of our empire. We play it to get better, but when you become addicted to it like those old players up above, you won't be able to extract yourself from it.

When you reach a certain level, the game becomes your assistant and helps you to raise your level in real life.

If you reached a very high level and gained unique fortunate encounters, the game will even tailor some services exclusively to you.

This is what we called" SYSTEM". But this System isn't like this game here. It's more advanced tech than this game.

There are many harsh conditions for anyone to have System. So if anyone didn't meet these requirements, they keep playing until they fulfill these conditions."

"This is crazy!"

"Don't judge those people like that. If you have seen a person with a System or a tailored System you might understand their reason."

I kept my silence. I didn't meet anyone with this System before. I actually don't understand what this word even means! I became busy uploading my recorded videos on one topic after another.

I labeled all these topics with the same tag' Godenal Aristocratic Guild resistance 'then I posted these videos and ignored the forums. I was busy with this obsession of Frodians with this game.

These people didn't taste the war tragedy for a long period I guess. In my kingdom, everyone lived in fear. Fear of being oppressed by surrounding kingdoms. Fear of becoming slaves and losing our freedom.

This fear was the motive that drove everyone to search with a strong desire for power. This fear was the reason that drove many children like me to participate in the wars in early age.

As long as war was inevitable destiny to all of us, then it was better to experience it at a young age then. The younger in tasting war horrible disasters, the better. That was our motto.

By this heroes were forged. But this peaceful life of this empire was like a disease. If any war erupted, these lazy people who took life as if it was a game would be shocked by their inability to defend their home.

I looked at Shin in sympathy. These people thought life really was a game. Shin noticed my strange looks towards him, so he asked with worry:

"Why do you look at me with those beautiful eyes of yours in this way?"

Although my heartbeat rose for some degrees, I managed to control myself and then said evading answering his question:

"Now I have finished uploading these videos. What should we do now?"

"We should go for the big market. We have a lot of trash weapons that we should dump"

"Didn't you say we will sell them to NPCs stores?"

"Sure, there are many NPCs stores at the market. C'mon, let's go shopping."

As any girl when I heard that word I felt very enthusiastic about going to that market. Although my pocket was nearly empty, we have a lot of equipment in our Inventory.

Also, we had these pieces of equipment that we hid before in the jungle. It was my first time walking in these village streets. That reminded me, I must always scout any new place for me!

Although I followed Shin when I reached here, what if I was alone? Would I get lost? I focused on trying to save these streets in my memory. I didn't manage to do it as easily as I imagined.

This village was really bigger than I thought. After crossing some small streets for half an hour, we entered a very wide street. That street was full of players who were marching slowly.

When I looked around I felt a great urge. There were many stalls on both sides of the street.

"Welcome to the big market. Here you can buy what you need and sell what you don't."

"It's really a refreshing sight."

"Hahaha, don't forget the girl that we are broke. Will you abandon your dream about learning blacksmith?"

He reminded me of my dream; I really need to save money. But all these stalls must have great items, right? Let's just take a sightseeing walk only. I wouldn't buy anything.

Our long slow exciting tour in this street began, in the beginning, Shin was as excited as me. Then minute after minute, stall after stall and item after item he became bored.

Throughout our walk, we heard a lot of side discussions about what we did at the village gate. I didn't know that what I did on a whim back then by announcing our response to these arrogant guild members, would have such a big effect.

The first surprise was the announcement of that foolish aristocratic guild in the forums. Their higher-ups decided to withdraw from my village. That eased my nerves a lot. I was really anxious about their retaliation.

Shin was also happy by this end, but he reminded me that those people never forget and never forgive. I knew what he meant, as this was real life not like a game.

The more I experienced this game, the more I became convinced that it should be played with seriousness and not just a game. While I was dazed in my thoughts, we arrived at one of the big crowded NPCs stores.

It was the first store I entered in this game. It was really like a big enterprise in my kingdom. That store was three floors high with a very spacious hall. This hall was full to the prim with players.

Most of the players were trying to bargain about the prices of the equipment they were trying to buy.

But from what I had seen, these NPCs never budged even for one copper coin. They either were very stingy or were very experienced merchants.

"Listen, NPCs here in Destiny game are very intelligent. You can consider them as real people. So, if you offend them, you will have a bad end."

"Can they kill us in the village?"

"That is the easiest penalty. The hardest penalty was for them to detain you."

"What do you mean?"

"Here in villages, towns, cities, and capitals, there is some nasty place known as 'the prison '. This prison can hold players for a certain period of time.

You can't go out to level up like other players. So if you got a penalty at the prison, you can consider it as the death penalty for you."
