Maybe it was his charisma? or was it that I truly believe that his way might lead to the fastest route out of here? Azure thought to himself as he sat in the tavern at the wooden table. Looking around he saw numerous people in a panic, but those at the table with him seemed relatively calm. He couldn't really blame them though, they had just essentially been told they are stuck in a game and that if they die in here, it is game over from them in real life as well.
He let out a bored sigh then looked back at the man who had offered him a place in his guild and promised a way out, pushing strands of his blue hair behind his ear, "So, what is this plan of yours to help get us out of here quickly, and why did you hand pick us for this guild of yours, surely there is many others who would be more eager." Azure was curious to know what this man was thinking, seriously, starting a guild with a few beta testers, and non beta testers, kicking it off when everyone is level one right after such a mess, what was this man up to?
The one who invited them to the guild, a man with hair long enough that it could touch the ground began to speak, "Well I do believe that introductions work best coming first, and then we shall get to business," he stood up, revealing a fairly sturdy looking build, even with such simple blue armor on, "I am Crepus, I have hand picked all of you for this guild based on statistics that I had gathered prior to the incident. I am a renown hacker in the real world, so I know a few things that even beta testers wouldn't know of." He gave a heartwarming smile, "And I trust we all want out of here, so I will place my trust in you all, if you will trust me, we will make it out of here alive. If my calculations are correct, we can make it out without losing a single member of our group." He pointed his finger at the others not at their table, some crying, some acting hysterical, "See how you all act different then the others, this shows me that you all have a burning will inside to live, a flame that shall not be easily extinguished. I need that flame so that we, 'The Phoenix' can rise all the way to the top. We will need to beat the boss' claiming the special last hit rewards, hitting up all the best grind spots first. Others may hate you, but in the end, it will be us to save the remainder of the players. It is better to have a few elites who can do anything, than a bunch of average joes, who stumble and fall along the way." The way he spoke was full of conviction, he truly believed in everything that he was saying, even other in the tavern started to notice, but instead of giving him looks of scorn, it seemed more like they had hope in their eyes. Someone willing to get them out of here and face the dangers. "So now then, let us introduce ourselves, we will be shedding digital particles together after all." he sat back down, his chin on his hand, smiling as he looked at the others at the table.
