2024-10-29 19:42:56"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!!" yelled Cecil by stamping hard his hands on the office desk "you can't judge me my level, Your highness!"
"I made myself clear, mage" recalled the prince his words as he was sitting on the opposite side of the table, calmly with jointed fingers, "you are a low-level mage and I don't wanna lose any of my fighters whichever level they might be"Cecil irritated turned aside folded tight his arm and asked, "Do you think I will get upgraded like this?. You know very well and are well aware that we develop our strength and increase our levels by fighting in battles and how do your iris will see I WILL do it?. If you are asking me to stay like a caged bird in my house!" he made a fuss.The prince smiled and suggested, "Why don't you ask someone to take you as a party member among them. It might be helpful if you go to the fighting grounds and check out there.""You think they will choose me?" he argued in as calmness as he could, "I don't see a chance in this.""Can't say anything until you give a try" replied the prince shrugging.Cecil sighed a deep one and walked to the door. He opened it and said, "Sir, you know what...you are a flower" he left out slamming the door. The prince got a shock by the sound and smiled saying, "What a boy...that guy is the only one who calls me flower.....knowing I get disturbed by it. That's why he teased me with it in his off moods...." he leaned on his chair and turned to the window behind."(sigh) This isn't good," said Juray while playing "how shall we level up?. Not going out without a friend. It's kind of difficult to go around and ask for an invitation. It might sound like a beggar.The worse part is.....it doesn't get any items or kinds of stuff to mend something. And if I get along with a friend there's a 100 percent guarantee that they will steal from me....what am I supposed to do? I can escape from troubles or from their ticks but, there will be no chance of blue rose then...." he begins to think.A hand rested upon his shoulder. He lifted up the glass and took off the headphone down hanging in his neck and saw back the nights shifter man" hello there""You are still playing?" he asked with a smile."Ah! yeah" he replied with a beaming smile "Got some problem here""What happened to the First record list on the anniversary day?. Weren't you going to be a part of it? You were willing to?"All the players were still playing in the Midnight full moon, enjoying. Juray wasn't able to enjoy the twenty-anniversary. He replied, "Well, parties formed and entered dungeons. Quite lots of players made it" he looked up at the LCD screen and the man too.An announcement was playing congratulating a party to finish first a flaming stage. The characters were shown and comments were coming at the lower part of the screen, live send:"WOW...COOL!" came one comment bubble."You guys finished it in less time" came another."The previous record is broken by you seven. AWESOME!!"
"You guys must reach the seven high ranker list by this amazing achievement""WELL DONE! Will catch up u guys!""Next time please invite me too"The man turned to him and said, "No problem. Not everyone gets the first place.By the way, I came here to ask whether you are done with the arrangements"Juray left his seat, not to disturb the nearby one, and replied, "I am still busy collecting the files and writing the reports. It will take me some time, from the top floor till the last corner to the first floor's information. It's kind of time taking work.But, why do we have to do that?""The boss asked for it" answered the man looking around."Didn't he tell the reason?. Deep information about a station. That's weird." included his puzzlement "Is there any special occasion or something?""I see you don't even have a clue" explained the man, "Professional team of Minus Zero will be attending this place soon""WHAT!!" exclaimed Juray in shock ness out of his skin. Good thing no one heard it. He hold his breath and asked, "Professional? Why this place?"The man answered with a smile, "You see this station is known as the best place for this game. So, like a vacation, they asked for a visit here and have fun. It will be another busy day for this station, soon enough?""I hope the boss earns a lot from this," said Juray in excitement "It's unbelievable to know this. What an unexpected event. I better hurry up with my reports.""Finish your game, first," said the man "Then start with an easy mind" and he left.Juray took his seat, sighed deeply to calm down from the excitement, wore up his headphone, placed down his glass, and returned to his game.In the central square, near the fountain, Cecil was sitting with a fuss and watching serval characters passing by with his one hand under his chin supporting his lap. He took out his bag and begin changing his boots.Steps approached him, shaded his shadow on him, and asked,"Are you the mage named Cecil?"He looked up and saw a young, tall, fighter, looking down straight at him with his cold eyes, and replied"Yes, I am. Who are you?""My apologizes" introduced the young boy, "You see I am a simple fighter without any jobs and My name is Silver.""Pleased to meet ya" stood up to Cecil and both shook hands."I came here to ask for a favor," said Silver."Yes, of course, but, where are you from?" asked Cecil."From Autumn fall kingdom. Quite far from here" answered the young ball."Can I help you with your problem?" asked the mage."Yes, I heard about your way of reaching things and having unique things. You are quite good at it. My request is I want to find a black-eyed Ruby" was his demand"A black-eyed Ruby..." repeated Cecil in perplexed "Do you know it's very popular for its disadvantages... Pardon me....but, it's a Ruby not many wills to get their sight on it and you want it. Why?""I will let you know my reason when it gets in my hands" replied Silver "so, will you accept my request?""....For the first time a friend has a request," said the mage inwards "And that also unexpected one...anyway""Okay," he said "I accept your request"
