The Earth After Rebirth

Kiro hadn't tamed a single beast since he got the subclass but that would change soon as he planned to go hunting for some. He had no idea what kind he should get, though he figured a beast that could grow alongside him would be the best he could possibly ask for.

Designing was also going great for Hiro. 10 guild bases had been designed and built, he had made millions of coins at this point. He somehow felt guilty because his friend wasn't earning as he did, his whole class seemed to be centered around making money.

If he was not building bases, he was creating equipment. Equipment were a huge part of the game, so he could sell them until the game is no longer popular.

Everyone had set so that every time they log in they were placed in their base, they suddenly appeared inside of it. Nikolai was already there and took them on a tour.

There was sort of something like a portal by the door, it could fit up to a 100 people. That's what the game used to transport them into their base every time.

It couldn't be used to travel around Asgard, the developers made sure of that. They didn't want to make the game too easy, so grinding for anything was it's charm.

Though return crystals existed, they were rare. Even for them, they only had one because of the S rank quest.

They both raced to pick their bedrooms, they felt like such kids but they didn't mind. They deserved to mess around sometimes and just enjoy the moment.

Nikolai shook his head at this. He couldn't figure out his leader, he seemed childish and carefree at times, but at other times, you would swear he was a different person.

From the first time they met, Nikolai felt a closeness to him. He felt that they were the same, more or less. He confirmed it when they exited the labyrinth, he was as shaken up by his past as he was, but beyond that his eyes were hungry, for carnage.

That's when he decided to join them. He just had this darkness, this sadness but also a spark. It was a charm he'd never seen before.

Kiro decided to call their first meeting, they sat at the meeting room. It was spacious, with just the 3 of them, it felt empty.

"So what are we calling our little group?" Hiro asked

"I don't know yet to be honest. But once they announce that people can register guilds officially, we will need a name to register."

"Thought we weren't a guild?" Nikolai raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion.

"We aren't. Also, I've created the groups bank account for funds, I'd like each of you to pour in a million. so that when the group needs something, nobody has to take their personal money into it."

"You don't want us to pour more? we're pretty rich, filthy rich." Hiro commented.

"No, not more than that, from now on, whatever we receive, half of it is for our group. Understood?"

They both nodded.

"So it'll be just the 3 of us?" Nikolai asked.

"No, we need other classes. Especially a Priest." Kiro answered him.

"Too had Saanvi joined Isla's guild." Hiro meant to mumble to himself but he was heard nonetheless.

"You guys talk?" Kiro asked, a little surprised by the turn of events.

"Uhm, what? No." Hiro said awkwardly.

His lie was so blatantly obvious that the atmosphere changed in the room. It was kind of funny. Kiro decided to not prod him any further.

"Ahem," He cleared his throat, "Hiro, we will need you creating weapons, armour, potions for us. But I don't need a weapon, so don't waste any materials on me."

Hiro was dumbfounded, "What do you mean you don't need a weapon? Didn't I promise to make you a mythic staff?"

Kiro smiled, "This is enough." He said holding up Ryu.

"But, I thought that was just a normal rod—"

Kiro had quickly commanded his staff to expand, it understood that he wasn't an enemy, so it stopped right before Hiro's eyes.

Even Nikolai was shocked, "Whoa! Now that I'm seeing it, you used it against Isaac, I remember."

Kiro nodded, "This is a mythic ranked weapon. Ryu these are my companions. Guys this is Ryu."

They looked at him as if he had lost his mind. Why was he introducing a weapon like it were a person? Just then, the staff vibrated. As if it were acknowledging the people it's master called companions. Both of them were lost for words.

"Yeah, he's a sentient weapon."

"That's cool. I'll need some time to refine my skills though."

"Not a problem. I'll be going out soon. To slay and capture."

"Want us with you?" Nikolai asked.

"No, no, just refining my beast taming subclass. I'll see you guys, whenever."

He left just like that.

Nikolai was left pondering his last sentence. 'He has a subclass?' He was shocked beyond belief, he'd never heard such a thing, nobody he knew had a subclass.

Hiro noticed his confusion. "You'll soon too have a subclass, the potion you drank, it'll give you one."

Nikolai was happy at his words.

Kiro left for the fields, forests and mountains. He wanted to look for the perfect beast that'd fight along side him. Preferably, one that could evolve.

He wished there could be a mask in this game, because now he was famous. Wherever he went he was recognised. It was such a pain. People would turn and point fingers. He'd activate blink once in a while to avoid the crowds.

He entered a field known as Canine. It was called this because there were a lot of the canine species residing there. On the other side, there was a mountain that was called feline mountain.

Kiro rolled his eyes, 'so original.'

"President Kiro!"

Kiro turned around, it was the chubby boy, Ishaan. Though he had to think a little where he knew him from, he quickly remembered.

"Ishaan, hey."

"You know I added you but—"

"Oh right, right. I was distracted when I came in, so I forgot to check some notifications." He gave him an apologetic look and accepted the request.

Ishaan played a human mage. He was a combat type by the looks of it. He brandished a spear. Armour was a steel one.

"Are you in a guild? I want to join your guild."

"It's a Mercenary group."

Ishaan seemed hesitant now. He had originally wanted to join a guild and chill. Mercenary groups were always booked, he wasn't sure he wanted that kind of work.

Just then, Kiro received a notification.

Ding!
