VRMMO: Alter Online - Chapter 37

“No clue about its existence huh…” Mark said and pondered, he was not surprised nor sad that those old fogeys disappeared, they did tell him that they were going to leave soon and go somewhere so Mark had always been preparing but it was too sudden.

Even though Mark had been with those old people for a long time, they were still mysterious even for him, they spoke words like they did not come from this universe, no, more like not from this dimension, he also did learn some words from such as freaking noobs, AOE, DOTA, Otaku, Cultured Virgin and some more words from them that don’t exist in the diaries.

Well, ignoring those things, the fact that they have disappeared, which meant Mark was now the one and only Martial Artist left, well, those old people maybe went into seclusion or something, but the fact that he was the only one Martial Artist that the Universal government acknowledges is a big deal, though only the higher-ups know about it, and they want Martial Arts to be erased from existence.

“So what am I going to do? Do I have to be a teacher and student at the same time or become an instructor?” Mark asked Merlin.

“No, actually this school is very different from every school in existence, in this school, there are no teachers nor instructors, but everything is run by the guilds,” Merlin said.

“What? isn’t this practically a gaming school then?” Mark asked.

“A gaming school, yes, that would be the right term to call that” Merlin nodded.

“And so what could I get from this deal? you don’t expect me to teach martial arts for free right?” Mark asked.

“Yes, the universal government earned a few rights from the Alter Online and was willing to offer three guild emblems to you, it can be used for the game and the school,” Merlin said.

“You mean, to establish a guild, we need these Guild Emblems?” Mark asked.

“Yes, these functions were only supposed to appear on the 2nd continent but the number of Guild Emblems were limited, for the second continent in the whole game only about 3,250 guilds could be established and be officially recognized by all parties involving the Top Titans, The top 500 companies and the universal government,” Merlin revealed.

“Wait, wait, things are going too fast, how come you guys know these things and this Guild Emblem didn’t even appear in the listed items in the Alter Online,” Mark said feeling tons of information being dumped on his brain.

“Haha, Mark you are underestimating Alter Online too much, I know you know that there is a reason for these power figures to invest in a VR game such as Alter Online, well, that is that, there are many hidden things in the game that even us don’t know so let’s leave it at that” Merlin said.

“*Sigh, yep, knowing too much right now is not beneficial for me” Mark nodded.

“So are you going to accept it?” Merlin asked.

“Okay, but I have a condition since they will be giving me three guild emblems, I will use 1 guild emblem to be the main guild which is the Laughing Shadows, only elites chosen by me could enter this guild, no connections allowed, and only by going with their effort would they have chance to enter the main guild”

“It also means only a few could enter the main guild but that doesn’t mean that just because they are in the main guild they will be acting superior to others, in the main guild only I and Chris are allowed to give orders, the only difference in entering the main guild is that they will be trained by me, personally,”

“As for the other two, they will be sub guilds of my the main guild, in another word, something like the testing place, of course, their purpose will be different from ours, but we are still their superior, as for what, that will be when we found the right people, and the last thing, Chris and I, no one else is allowed to poke their noses on our business, a guild vs guild, players vs players, no none player is allowed to be involved with this, even if its those Titan powers or something, if they try me, I will show them, even if it’s you or your family, is that enough?” Mark explained, his last sentence exuded pressure that even Merlin felt suffocated.

“I understand, I will rely it them, and don’t worry about my family, feel free to eliminate those who poke their heads on a lion’s den” Merlin nodded.

With that, both parties nodded and Merlin waved his hand and a golden scroll appeared out of thin air and landed on his hand, “This is the golden contract prepared by all parties involved, their stamps are already there so only yours is needed” Merlin said.

“You guys act fast,” Mark said in surprise and read the contract carefully.

Meanwhile, Merlin sighed in relief as the suffocating aura of Mark disappeared, the reason why everything Mark said was prepared immediately prepared is that everyone agreed to comply with every demand of Mark.

Yes, they feared Mark, it was not just the people backing him but Mark himself is also a danger to them, just with these is enough to deter those who knew his background, but of course, not everyone knew of this so there will e some challenges in the future.

Just then Mark finished reading the contract and after making sure there is no problems nor loopholes that will abuse him or the other party he sighed the contract.

After Mark signed the contract, the scroll burst into particles of light, it turned into light balls and one light ball flew towards Mark and one also flew towards Merlin, then the other countless light balls flew away disappearing to the skies, as for the light ball that flew towards Merlin and Mark, it passed their body and merged with them.

“With this, if any party tried to break the contract, this light ball will kill them, even if its a god” Merlin said.

“That is good, anyway, what is the name of the school by the way? what type is it? is it a National School or something? what’s its size?” Mark bombarded Merlin with questions.

“Ahem, take it easy, anyway answering your first question, the school is named Gaminghub Academy, its a planetary school and its size… its Yggdrasil size” Merlin said.

“What Yggdrasil size!” Mark exclaimed from shock.
