Chapter 56 - News.
Queen Diana proudly pushed her chest forwards. She opened her eyes, expecting to see amazed reactions, but instead…
Her Guild members looked at her without expression, while Isaac was looking at her with an impressed face.
”Y-Y-You guys should go like waaaah.” Queen Diana showed an amazed expression and moved her hands around, ”Go waaah!”
”Waa—” Isaac was about to say it, but Darth covered his mouth.
”Just ignore her…” Darth said with a wry smile and removed his hand.
Isaac nodded and looked at Queen Diana without any expression.
”Meanies!” Queen Diana shouted. She sat down and started sulking.
”Now it is your time, Wraith,” GreenFlower said with a curious expression.
Darth and others looked at him as well.
Queen Diana acted like she was too mad to care, but she took sneaky glances.
”My level is not that high…” Isaac scratched the back of his head and pressed a few buttons in front of him.
[Wraith]
[Level: 16]
”You are level 16?!” GreenFlower exclaimed with mouth agape.
”Well… This is surprising.” Darth was pleasantly surprised.
”Why aren’t you part of Guild?” Tobi asked curiously while touching his beard. For some reason, it made him look like a wise sage.
Isaac shrugged, ”I like to be alone, I guess.”
”White Online isn’t a solo game, but if you want to be an adventurer, then it’s fine,” Darth said and patted his shoulder.
Isaac smiled and nodded. He has seen a few articles about Guilds, and apparently, most of them are doing only chores.
Gather items, go repair Guild Masters weapons, etc.
That’s one of the reasons why Isaac didn’t think about joining any Guilds.
But, Isaac wouldn’t be treated that way. He is high enough level to be a Core Member of Top Guilds.
He didn’t know, but the group around him were the Core members of the famous Black Arrow Guild!
”What is your class?” FirstKill asked with a grin. He scanned Isaac’s body but didn’t really see any weapons, he saw the pouches, but he didn’t understand the meaning behind them.
”Marksman.” Isaac took the Flintlock pistol from the Inventory. The Flintlock pistol also looked slightly different from the old one. It had a small gold lining on the side, making it look a little bit fancier.
”Oh…” FirstKill looked with pity at him.
”You are one of the Unlucky Ones…” GreenFlower said with pity.
”Unlucky Ones?” Isaac tilted his head.
”Marksmen is called like that.” Darth said next to him, ”Marksman, officially called as the worst class. Many were unlucky to choose it, many thought it would be good since it’s the first choice for Shooter class, but it was a trap.”
”Trap?”
Darth nodded, ”Marksman class was created to be a most difficult one to use, and even if you train it till the peak, there isn’t guarantee that you will able to contend with top players.”
”Also, the Special Stat sucks.” GreenFlower quipped.
Isaac listened closely.
”Also, if you want to change the class. You would need to buy a new one, but then you will be behind by other players.” Darth sighed. He looked towards Queen Diana and asked, ”Guild Master, was the Marksman this bad during the beta?”
”Beta?” Isaac raised an eyebrow.
”She was one of the beta testers,” Darth said.
”Oh.” Isaac looked amazed and curious. He always wanted to know more about the game, but only Beta Testers know the hidden secrets of the game.
Queen Diana proudly stood up, ”I was indeed one of the beta testers!”
”Was the Marksman really bad?” Isaac asked.
Queen Diana pondered for a moment, ”I only met a few beta testers with that class. One thing I can say about them… They had very good… Eyesight.”
”Eyesight?” Darth and others looked at her with questioning faces.
Queen Diana nodded, ”They saw things others didn’t, but I didn’t think much about them. They were very low-key.”
Isaac nodded thoughtfully, ‘I need to research more…’
”Guild Master, what are we doing now?” Tobi asked, ”Golden Crown and others are already approaching level 25 hunting spots.”
”Well, let’s go!” Queen Diana energetically stood up, ”Call the others! We are leaving.”
Tobi nodded and started messaging in the Guild chat.
”You can come with us.” Queen Diana said towards Isaac with a charming smile.
Isaac and Darth stood up. They walked behind the other Guild members as they left the Goblin Village.
There was already a sound of movement in the forests, their Guild members moved with great agility in the trees, and they are definitely force to be reckoned with.
Queen Diana was walking in front of others while swaying her wide hips.
Darth rolled his eyes. He leaned closer to Isaac and whispered, ”If Guild Master asks you to do some weird stuff, just say no. If she requests something, tell me, I will go kick her ass.”
”Request? Like what?” Isaac curiously looked at him.
”Like…” Darth pondered, until he whispered once again, ”Like crossdressing, she is definitely fantasizing about some weird stuff right now.”
”Crossdressing?” Isaac suddenly had chills. His family had once a phase when they wanted him to crossdress as a cat.
That was a memory he didn’t want to remember.
But, that was when he was very young and was still ignorant about the world.
Now he is grown up.
He would never accept such humiliation ever again.
”Oh right.” Darth pressed a few buttons in front of him, and suddenly notification popped up in front of Isaac.
[Player Darth sent you a Friend Request!]
[Accept/Reject]
Isaac looked surprised, but he pressed [Accept]
”Friend list doesn’t have any special meaning currently, but I have heard rumors that there will be an update which lets friends to talk with each other, as long as they aren’t in battle,” Darth told him some shocking news.
”Where did you hear that?”
Darth pointed at Queen Diana, ”Our Guild Master’s identity is quite special, she hears some news ahead of everyone else, and apparently… The next update will come next week!”
”So soon?!” Isaac exclaimed.
”That’s right.” Darth nodded and smiled, ”Next update apparently has some world-changing stuff… Maybe the Marksman class gets updated.”
Isaac sighed and nodded, ”I am quite excited now.”
”This game does that to people. Which VR helmet you are using? Legendary, right?” Darth asked.
But, Isaac awkwardly chuckled, ”Uhh… Bronze.”
Darth’s eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He stopped walking and looked at Isaac with a shocked look.
”Bronze Helmet is so restrictive. Even the movement seems so stiff.”
Isaac shrugged and moved his limbs, ”I don’t feel any different, though.”
Darth chuckled, ”Well… When you buy a better one…. You will never want to go back.”
