[VRMMO] Dead One

"Yea? What do you want to talk about man?" – asked Rampage.

"..."

"Okay. I’m going to be completely honest with you." – said ClownFrog.

"Because you accepted being vampire transformation, your life in this world won’t be easy."

"You will have to drink blood of the people and to do that, you will have to kill innocent people and in turn become a criminal, you know that?"

"You can try playing it safe and all, but it will obviously halter your growth as the vampire by a lot."

"So let me ask you this first, will you become a bad guy? Like a real evil person, doing whatever they want."

"..."

"Hm... Honestly, I don’t know. But why are you even asking something like this?"

"Well, because I want you to join our guild called Purple Hyena." – said ClownFrog.

"?"

"Wait, you want me to join you? But I- "

"Before you say anything, we are the bad guys." – said ClownFrog.

"???"

"Let me say something, we all decided to become a villains, a bad guys, a assholes that do what they want, since we are sick of playing as the good guys."

"?!"

"Wait, but you helped me in completing the quest and beating the boss!"

"You are wrong. You used us and we used you, that was our deal, don’t you remember?"

"Let me rephrase the question. Do you normally play a good guy in games?"

"...Well, yea? Since most of the times games are about you being the good guy." – said Rampage.

"Okay, but are you by any chance tired of that? I know you are."

"I know you are stupid, but you are not dumb or a total idiot, you think things through."

"You were fully aware of what would happened if you would accept becoming a vampire and you even wanted to drink a blood of an innocent NPC to complete your transformation, but you couldn’t because you were afraid you would get catched in the process."

"Let me make it clear, we are not some run out of mill bandits or just PK players that kill everybody in our sight."

"We are villains."

"We are doing whatever we want to do, be it either a good stuff or bad stuff. It’s up to decide."

"We want to be the antagonists of the story."

"Alone, we are weak, but together we are strong and that is the reason we banded together and formed our guild."

"Just so you know, we are not recruit blindly people. The reason why I’m inviting you is because of two reason."

"The first reason is trust."

"You have already proven yourself to be trustworthy and you saw yourself that you can trust us. We cannot bring anybody to our guild right now somebody who is not trustworthy at all, but you? You are definitely worth our trust."

"And the second reason is because of your current troubling situation. We can trust each other with our life."

"And the second reason is: If you want to become stronger, you need to become a bad guy."

"But you obviously will have shit tons of trouble if you are alone and you realized that."

"However, if you join us, we will help you when you ask and vice versa obviously. You will help us do the bad stuff and we will help you do the bad stuff. A partners in crime."

"So, what do you say mate?"

"Do you want to join us and become the real "Bad Guys"?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I...."

"Fuck me man."

"I got a lot of offers to join a guild made by some people, but I always turned them down."

"But honestly, I don’t know how to reply to you."

"..."

"..."

"Okay. Please wait."

"Do you remember the friend I told you about before? The production class friend of mine?"

"You see, I normally play together with her and kind of don’t want to abandon her."

"So let’s make a deal."

"I will discuss your proposal with her and if she says its okay, you will not only allow me to join but also her. If she says its okay for me to join but she won’t join or you won’t allow her, then no deal. Okay?" – said Rampage.

"..."

The members of the Purple Hyena guild began looking at each other in silence before then turning back to the Rampage.

"Deal." – said ClownFrog.

(Honestly, letting her bring somebody random may seem annoying, but she did said that her friend likes making stuff. So having production class user join us will be very beneficial and other seem to realize that.) – though ClownFrog,

[Some Time.]

"She said she wants to meet up." – said Rampage while reading a messenge.

"You mean your friend?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yea. She said that she wants to discuss this matter in person and all. She is asking if we have any safe location where we can meet up."

"Hm... Lets do it here. This place is quiet far away from any settlements and for the safe side, nobody would eardrop on our conversation."

"Okay. I will just quickly go back to the city and pick her up. Be right back." – said Rampage.

The Rampage left the members of the Purple Hyena guild and headed straight to the capital city.

After some time passed, Rampage finally returned to the meeting spot but she did not come alone.

With her came a girl with long blue hair and yellow eyes. Most of the girl body was being covered in light blue scales. The girl even had a lizard tail as well as her legs did not looked human but instead very similar to the ClownFrog lizard legs, however her face looked like that of a human.

"?"

(Wait. She is lizardman? Huh, I wasn’t expecting that at all.) – though ClownFrog.

"Let me introduce my friend here. Her name is Blueberry." – said Shri.

"H-hello! My name is Blueberry."

[Blueberry]

[Race: Lizardman] [Sub Race: Light Blue Scale Lizardman]

"Oh, that is quiet cute name you got there." – said Shri.

"T-thanks." – replied Blueberry with timid voice.

"..."

"Okay, she is cute, she get a free pass." – said Shri while giving thumbs up.

"Mate, the decisions is theirs, not ours." – said ClownFrog.

"Anyway, miss Blueberry. I think I should explain few things first before we progress any further."

"Oh, Rampage already told me everything about you guys wanting to play as the bad guys and all."

"Oh. Well, we want to invite both you and Rampage to our guild, but we won’t force you to join us against your will or anything since we want your trust. We want to know if you honestly want to join us or not." – said ClownFrog.

"So, take your time or ask us any questions you want. No rush or anything."

"Hm... Okay then." – said Blueberry.

"So, you don’t mind if I ask some questions?"

"No problem." – replied ClownFrog.

"Okay...."

"First question."

"You first wanted to scout Rampage to only join your guild, but she said that she won’t join if I don’t join you or you won’t let me join. Is that correct?"

"Yes."

"Then are you fine with me joining the guild in the first place?"

"Well, kind of."

"One of the reasons why we invited Rampage is because of the trust, but as for you we do not know anything about you or we never ever meet before. Meaning we can’t really tell if you are trustworthy or not."

"But Rampage said that she can vouch for you and say you are really somebody trust worthy."

"We trust Rampage and she trust us. If she says you are trustworthy then we can trust her judgment and allow you to join in, since we now know that you are somebody that can be trusted."

"But! Just so you know, we won’t be forcing you or anything. If you aren’t fine with this, then it’s okay to refuse us and don’t even give us the reason."

"We only will accept you, if you really want to join in. We don’t want to force you, we want you to only join with your own free will since we want your trust."

"Oh, okay." – said Blueberry.

"Then second question."

"Did Rampage told you that I’m production class user?"

"Yes. I know that the players guilds are desperately looking for the production class users, but as of right now we are very small guild with only 4 members, so we are not in really dire need of the production class user."

"So it doesn’t really matter if you are production class user or not."

(But honestly speaking, even though we are still small group, it would be very nice if we had at least one production class user in our guild. We are in kind of dire need right now, even though we are still small guild.) – though ClownFrog.

(Since we will be the bad guys, there is a chance the NPCs won’t sell us some goods and all, so I’m kind of lying when I said that we aren’t in the dire need of the production class user. But obviously I can’t say that to her face for various reasons.)

"Hm..."

"Then last question."

"Normally I ask Rampage to sometimes go hunt monsters and bring me their materials that I want to use for crafting. If I were to join the guild, would you be willing to hunt some specific monsters for me and even give me their materials?"

"Hm... Well, I guess so? If we were to use you and all, then you should have equal rights to use us."

"Anyway, you said that was the last question, yes?" – said ClownFrog.

"Then if you like, you can discuss the matter of joining or not joining the guild with the Rampage. We won’t eardrop on you or anything, so just take your time. You don’t even have to give the answer today if you don’t fell like it, considering how sudden it all was."

"Oh, there is no need to discuss anything. I will join." – said Blueberry.

"..."

"Excuse me?" – said ClownFrog.

"?"

"I said I would- "

"No, no, no. I heard you first time, but why are you giving the answer straight away!?" – said ClownFrog.

"Don’t you, I don’t know? Look things through or ask us bit more questions or just maybe think about it for few days or maybe weeks before giving us an answer?"

"Did you forget about the fact that we are the bad guys?"

"We don’t want you to join us against your will since we want your trust."

"Yea. But honestly speaking, you will help out Rampage in her vampire evolution, so it beneficial for her."

"And as for me. Well, I was getting invited over and over again by different parties or guilds to join them."

"Some of them wanted me to join them even when I said no and even tried pulling some thing, so Rampage had to step in and beat them up."

"However, now that Rampage has turned into vampire, it will be hard for her to be with me all the time since she cannot stay in the settlements too long or she may end up being found out."

"However, if I were to join the guild, the other guilds won’t harass so much to join them, since I wouldn’t be already be in some guild."

"And honestly, I like playing with her a lot and want to still together with her. So, if she is planning on becoming a "Bad Guy", I don’t mind becoming a "Bad Guy" myself if that allows me to keep playing together with her."

"On top of that, we won’t be alone, we will have you people who can protect us if something bad happens to us. So having somebody trustworthy besides ourselves is a huge benefit in the first place."

"You said that I have right to decline and you even try telling me to take my time thinking about the offer. You are concern about me since you really don’t want me to join your guild against your will, so I can definitely say that you are trust worth people, even though you are the bad guys." – said Blueberry.

"...But you know we don’t mind lying straight at somebody face or even manipulating somebody. How do you know that we aren’t doing something like that right now to either of you two?" – asked GreyHunt.

"True. It did occurred me that you maybe be lying and all in order to just gain my trust. I can tell that almost everything you said was truth and there maybe one or two things you didn’t said or just straight up lied, but you didn’t bothered deceiving me in harmful way like you want to just use us or something, since like you said, you want me to trust you people."

"Honestly, entering a guild with people I can trust and together with my friend is a very good deal and there is no really any reason not to declaim." – said Blueberry while smiling cheerfully.

"I know I would have to become "Bad Guy" if I join you, but I honestly don’t see it as something that bad, since this game offers the players the freedom of choice in the first place and who knows? Maybe I will enjoy it?"

"So, please accept me and Rampage to your guild." – said Blueberry while bowing her head.

"!"

"Wait! Raise your head please!" – said ClownFrog.

"..."

"Fuck."

"Well, are you absolutely sure about that?"

"Yes!" – replied Blueberry with cheerful smile.

"..."

(I mean... I’m happy and all with having a production class user joining us willingly, but why do I feel a sense of guilt right now?) – though ClownFrog.

"So, what is your opinion Rampage?"

"Oh, I want to join as well. You will help me and even bough Blueberry trust, so I’m good." – said Rampage.

"..."

"Okay?" – said ClownFrog with bit confused look.

"Welcome to the Purple Hyena guild?"

"Thank you for having us." – said both Rampage and Blueberry.
