The Earth After Rebirth

"We need potions, weapons and armour." Isla looked at Saanvi hopefully.

"Call him yourself." She shooed Isla away.

"But he has a soft spot for you, maybe he won't charge you much!"

"Look at you, you've grown a lot since getting into the academy."

"Fine, I'll do it myself."

The call rang for a long time and it wasn't answered. She tried Kiro, his wasn't answered either.

"Think they're busy, in a dungeon?"

"Wouldn't put it past them."

Just then, Hiro called back. On the other end, a dwarf covered in soot appeared, he grinned and apologised for not being able to answer their call sooner.

"That's okay Hiro, I need to order armour, weapons and potions."

"What kind of weapons and what sizes would you require for the armour?"

Isla counted, and told him everything they needed. Nothing fancy, things to get them through a low level dungeon.

"Seems I already have everything you need, except for a sceptre. I've been trying to make one for Felix, it's a tricky one. When do you want it?"

"Today, if possible?"

"Impossible."

Isla smiled wryly, "well that's understandable, this is a short notice. How much will you be charging me?"

"Well for a friend, of course I'll give you a discount, everything will cost you 200k coins." He said, nonchalantly looking through the many armour he'd made.

Isla didn't even complain, it was a lot for 6 people but she didn't know anything about how rare the materials were to create these things, so she accepted without bargaining. She quickly wired Hiro the coins through her own personal funds, she hadn't had time to make an account for their guild yet.

Hiro sent the 6 armour, weapons and a whole lot of potions. He even threw in the rare restorative potions, about 30 of them. He really did cut them some slack and charged them less.

"Not to be rude, but it was a pleasure doing business with you. If you find any materials in there, don't be shy. I have to go."

"Thanks Hiro, you're the best."

He hung up. Isla noticed that none of the armour and weapons were below rare rank. There was even an Epic ranked bow for her, she smiled like a little kid. She couldn't wait to try it out.

Their armour now didn't have their colours because it was short notice, but in future, she vowed to make a proper order.

Saanvi was sulking a bit, because she didn't get a weapon. She wanted to try out her attack skills, but without a sceptre, she was just an advanced priest.

"Come on, now that he knows, I'm sure he'll work tirelessly to create you a perfect sceptre." She tried to cheer her up.

She walked to the table that had their order, there were two robes for priests, one was emarald, that's the one she chose. The other was yellow. They were both rare ranked.

Isla put on the rare ranked cloth armour, and they sent the left overs to each of the people they were going to attempt the dungeon with.

There were 150 potions in total. Each would get 25 potions, 5 restorative, 10 Health Potion and 10 magic potion. With all of this, they were ready to take the war to the werewolves.

"By the way Saanvi, which subclass did you get? I got a weird one, called seducer."

"Chef," she said, a bit agitated.

"Well, that can't be too bad, maybe the food you'll cook will have healing properties." She shrugged and left.

She walked out of the meeting hall, and into the training grounds. She wanted to try out some of her skills before going out to challenge a dungeon.

The archer's training ground was majestic, Erik was already there shooting at the targets. His aim and accuracy wasn't too bad, though it seemed like he wasn't able to do magic arrows just yet.

Isla stood at a very far distance, she shoot three at the same time. They zoomed past Erik which startled him a bit, one of the 3 hit the bullseye. While the other two didn't, but they didn't miss either.

"So, only one can have a critical hit, though the others aren't totally useless."

She walked closer and activated mirror image, 4 of her appeared, all drawing their arrows and shooting. The other 3 disappeared when they reached the target, while only one planted itself right at the middle of the target.

Erik looked at her like he wanted to say something but the words were stuck in his throat.

"You can speak your mind." Isla noticed

He simply shook his head and admired in awe.

They stayed and practiced for a few hours before Isla had a sense of her skills and was ready to go kill some werewolves. A crowd had already gathered in their training grounds, watching their guild master showing off some incredible skills.

"Wow, guild master, you're truly a godsend. My sword was rusty, so was my armour. Joining this guild was no mistake." Von commented while they were walking out the gate, headed to the werewolf Crypt.

"This is just the beginning. Better not bite the hand that feeds you."

"Never," he said with a boyish grin that made everyone doubt he was even that old.

The dungeon they were headed for had been avoided by players until this point. Nobody was confident that they could take on a pack of however many werewolves there were. Everyone had just graduated from beginner village after all.

The only thing they were excited for were the missions, and just living their best lives in-game. Asgard was great like that, players didn't need to go fighting monsters they could just live like normal NPCs. Though that won't stop other players from bullying them since they would be weak.

They stood in front of what seemed to be a portal. Nothing could be seen inside but a dark abyss.

Ding!

[You're about to be the first ones to attempt the Werewolf Crypt. The dungeon is full of dangers, it's a B ranked dungeon. Your party seems to be a tad bit weak, but what do I know. Happy hunting.]

This message chilled them, but Isla wasn't going to give up now, they had to see this through. They had to establish themselves as a powerhouse in Asgard.

And so, with nervous anticipation, they walked into the portal.
