Chapter 8: Fairy Tail
______________________________________________________________________
- Arthas -
Lights flashed all around us like fireworks without burning any one of us as a message appeared in the air in front of us.
"The First Player Guild in the world of Arcana has been established."
"The Fairy Tail Guild has been established."
We all looked at the scene in shock. The message appeared not only in front of me but even them even when they were not in the Guild.
This message….it was a game wide announcement.
Thankfully they didn't announce my name or people would be hounding us even more than possible.
We looked at each other and I read further.
Select Guild Perk
Perks Points Available: 1
Many options appeared in front of me.
Mage's Delight Level 1: 2% Increase in Magic Damage

Fighter's Will Level 1: 2% Increase in Physical Damage
Cost: 1 Perk Point
Nimble Hands Level 1: 5% increase in Production Speed

Power of Friendship Level 1: 5% Increase in Exp Gain when in party with at least one guild member

Power of Friendship….seriously?
I resisted the twitching of my eyes. Then again, this guy made a whole game with anime related easter eggs. Something like this should be expected and not a surprise anymore.
"What does it say?" Shiroe asked, looking at me reading something in the air.
"It's asking me to select perks." I answered and explained everything which Shiroe noted down promptly.
We had the option of selecting the perks later so I skipped it for the time being and completed the creation of the Guild.
Congratulations!
You have unlocked a secret Achievement.
Leading the Way!
Title Gained: The First Guild Master
Reward: +2 Guild Perk Points
Keep seeking more of these secrets hidden in the world of Arcana.
Congratulations Traveller.
You have discovered another secret!
Traveller.
A Special Title given to those who complete the Hidden Quests, Man of Culture.
+7 to all stats.
+14% to Exp Gained.
Note: The Effect of the Title can be enhanced the more secrets the Traveller discovers in the world.
Reward: 5 Mage Class Cards
….I looked at the message in front of me with an open mouth.
Class Cards?
Suddenly an idea hit me and I summoned the Class Cards in front of me.
"What are these?" Veena asked, looking at the cards.
I passed one to each of them and looked at the Cards.
Mage Class Card
Unlocks Mage Class on use.
Requires Level 60 to use.
Was it because of the Fairy tail reference? I got Mage Cards because I am making a Guild called Fairy Tail?
This was my best guess.
I looked at Shiroe's deadpan expression as he looked at the card. "Are all of them the same?" He asked.
I nodded, crushing his hope. "Sigh. Just my luck."
"You still have experience with the class which they will never be able to get by using the Class Card." I offered.
"I guess. So….what do we do with the extra three?" He asked.
"Keep them for others who can become core members of the Team. I think Mage might be a requirement for many higher level classes like Magic Knight or something." I replied and looked at them.
"Sounds reasonable. It will give us some flexibility in the team too. Anything else."
With that I looked at the other rewards.
Title: The First Guild Master
Effect: +20 CHA, +2% Experience Gain to your Guild Members as long as you are the Guild Master.
That's actually a very good gift.
"I got a title and two more Perk Points." I explained the effects of the Title and Shiroe wrote it down too.
"That's very good for a title and the Guild Perk Points are always good to have. As for what to invest in, we need something which our Guild will need to attract people first. Since we are planning to focus on exploring, we should use the Power of Friendship, Hard Bargain and Adventurer's Luck." He said, and then after some more thought added, "Just in case, get Power of Friendship first and see if we can get something else for Level 2 of that Skill. Before that add us to the guild first."
"Alright." I did as he said and light flashed around me.
Power of Friendship Level 1 was active.
Just below it a few more things appeared though.
Power of Friendship Level 2: +10% Increase in Experience Gain when in a party with your Guild Member
Cost: 2 Perk Points
Apart from that another perk appeared.
Friends with Benefits: +5% Gold Coin Drops when in Party with another Guild Member
Cost: 1 Perk Point.
"Another perk appeared along with level 2 of the Power of Friendship Perk." I said while Shiroe and Veena were checking the rest of the Guild Options.
"So it's in the form of a Perk Tree. I just looked at the Guild System and our Guild is at Level 1 and we need experience to Level up the Guild. We need to figure out how we get the experience for Guild Levels. If we get more perk points, we can discuss how to spend those. For now, Power of Friendship Level 2 sounds better. 10% Experience boost is massive at this stage, especially for the lower level players."
"Alright then." I added the last 2 Guild Perk Points to the Power of Friendship and got it to level 2.
My added experience gains were insane at this point.
"Wow, 10% more gains. That's awesome. This is the first time I have seen something which gives Experience gains." Shiroe cheered as he checked the Guild Menu.
….
I suddenly felt guilty for hiding my other bonuses.
With the rate my titles and other effects were piling up, they would very soon see the difference. With my increased experience, I have been able to keep up the same pace as the rest of them even when I am one Tier higher than them.
It was not just that. There would come a time when someone from other Villages who also got this title meets us and if they disclose the information, I would lose the trust of my teammates for keeping such a secret from them.
In fact, Shooting Star might have one too since he was so fast and from another village. It was actually a surprise that someone got to Tier 2 before Shiroe in his village and hadn't revealed the title.
I needed to come out with this.
"Is something the matter, Arthas?" Veena asked, looking at me in worry.
"I….This is not the first Experience Gain buff I have seen." I said finally.
"Eh? Are there more?" Shiroe asked, quite curious.
"There is another title….or rather a series of titles which can give similar effects." I started.
"Oh, which one?" He asked.
"I got it when I became the first Player to get Tier 2 Player from my village. It gave a +10% Increase in Experience Gain."
"That's….I didn't know there was a title like that. I guess I wasn't the first person to get Tier 2 in my village then. What's the title called?"
"It….well it's called 'One in Hundred'." I answered, hesitantly.
"Sigh, that's a bummer. I missed that." He sighed and then looked at me. "Anything else? Wait, you said a series of titles." He completed with realisation hitting him.
I scratched my cheeks awkwardly. "Yeah. The title upgraded to 'One in a thousand', 'One in ten thousand' and 'One in a million' when I gained T3, T4 and just now the T5 Job first in my Town, Prefecture and Country. With each upgrade, the Experience Gain was increased by ten percent."
"....40%. You have 40%, no wait, 52% more experience gain! That's hax dude. No wonder, you could keep up with our levelling speed even at your level. I honestly thought you were some kind of special NPC for a while or that it might be due to the Class you were using." And he went on and on.
….actually I had 66% extra Experience gain right now but The Traveller was where I drew the line.
There was no way I could explain that to them in a normal way.
"That's awesome!" He exclaimed at the end of his words.
"....you guys are not angry?" I asked, surprised at their lack of mistrust.
"Angry? Why?" The man asked, confused while Veena just chuckled.
"I guess Arthas here was feeling guilty for keeping the fact from us all this time." Veena explained as she looked at me. "You don't need to worry about us. That title….we never had any chance of getting that. If it hadn't been for you, it would have taken me far longer to get to the level I am now. I would have been Tier 1 while you were Tier 3. Shiroe didn't have any chance either as the title of the Prefecture Level was already obtained by you and we have been hunting together since then and his levelling speed has only increased."
"She is right. I mean I would have been angry if you had hidden something which could have been shared from everyone to yourself alone. That would have been different. But this….well, we never had any chance at it so no reason to get angry. Although, do tell us such things from now on or I would be depressed about sucking at the game if I can't keep up." Shirone added too.
"....thanks."
"Great, now that that's done. What else do we need to check? Hmm, let's see. There is a limit to Guild members and it increases with Guild Level. Currently we have a limit of one hundred members and with fifteen Guild Levels, we can get more later on. You two should use the Class Cards by the way and see if you can unlock any other Classes."
I nodded and Veena picked up the Class Card too, using it herself.
T4 Class: Mage Unlocked.
T5 Class: Magic Knight Unlocked
As expected, there was another option for Knight.
Magic Knight was below Holy Knight I guess.
We discussed more things and explored the Guild option. I saw that the location we were currently in was set as our Guild Hall so I guess we could rent the place.
By the end of it, we were quite late and decided to part ways.
