meet the gang

Back in his room, Alex was sitting on his bed, thinking about his next step. After sleeping for a week, almost all his plans had to be changed.

The first thing that he had to do was to gather the others. He had already convinced Max, Paria, and Parisa, but the other five wouldn't be that easy to convince.

Initially, Alex planned on gathering all the gang members before they reached level 20 so that he could help them in finding better jobs, but now his plans had to be modified.

"First, I have to go find that shithead," mumbled Alex to himself.

Now that people started reaching level 20, the real struggle would begin.

Alex opened the shop and looked through the list, "as I thought, the epic items are all gone."

If Alex had to guess, he would say that the government cleared the shop from most of the epic items.

Nobody except the government had the resources to gather that much money in less than a week's time.

'they probably focused all their resources on leveling up their soldiers and then taking their starting INBs,' Alex thought with a grin on his face.

It was no wonder that nobody knew about there being another item grade after "rare"; all the items above the rare grade had been cleared from the shop before the majority reached level 20.

But fortunately, Alex was still ten steps ahead of the others; with six legendary items in his possession, nothing could go wrong for him or his companions.

'I still have three days before the government starts the restrictions; I have to gather all of them before then,' thought Alex and stood up, "ok, let's start…."

Two days later, inside a conference room on the 20th floor of the hotel, Alex, Max, Parisa, and five other people could be seen sitting around the table.

Alex had a satisfied look on his face. He had tried very hard to gather all of them here. And with most of them still living with their families, Alex didn't have any choice but to offer to take their families in as well.

After about a minute of silence, Alex stood up and started talking, "let me introduce myself first…."

But before he could say anything else, a thin boy interrupted him and said with an annoyed tone, "we all know who you are by now; start talking about your plans, or I'm out of here."

'this shithead,' the corner of Alex's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything more and started talking again, "ok, but first let me introduce you to each other and tell you your role in our future guild that I have told you about.

First of all, we have shi…" Alex was about to say shithead but stopped himself and said instead, "Sid Fernandez, he will be the blacksmith of the group…."

"what do you mean, blacksmith? I didn't find such a job when I chose my job," Sid interrupted Alex again.

This time Alex exploded, "you shithead, either shot up and let me finish, or I will shut you up myself,"

Sid stood up from his place and shouted, "oh? I like to see you try,"

As they were about to tear each other up, Max stepped in and stopped both of them, "you two, stop,"

Sid didn't know why, but something about Max made him stop in his tracks and sit down on his chair without saying anything more.

Alex looked at him with satisfaction and was about to continue when Max stopped him, "I think it's better if everyone introduces themselves." Then he said, "Hello, I'm Max Black, my job title is the heavenly martial artist, and I'm going to be the guild's leader." Then he looked at Parisa.

Parisa stood up and said, "my name is Parisa Hilton, and my job title is the mystic killer. I live with my sister, but she is shy, so she didn't want to come to this meeting; her job title is the mystic healer." After saying that, she sat down, and Max pointed to Sid.

With a sad tone as if he was wronged, Sid started talking, "my name is Sid, and my job title is hammer master,"

next to Sid, a young girl not much older than Max stood up and started talking, "hello, I'm Reyhan, and I don't have a job yet."

In Alex's previous life, Reyhan was actually their guild's main alchemist.

"Hello, I'm Ryan, and I'm a shield-bearer," said a robust young man with a shy look on his face, almost the same age as Max. Reyhan and Ryan were siblings, and both lived with their old grandmother.

"I'm Kate, and I'm an assassin,"

"I'm Leo, and I'm a sniper,"

"ok, now that we got to know each other, let's talk business," said Max and looked at Alex.

Alex threw a mean look at Sid before starting again, "as I was saying, my main goal for the moment is to reach level 50 and form a guild with the help of you people. I will help you level up and also provide you resources necessary to improve.

But what's important right now is for you to know that for the next month or so, the government will restrict all activities and we can't go out without proper reason, so we have to stay in the hotel.

After that, I'm pretty sure that the government will crumble and the society will go into a state of chaos," Alex stopped and looked at them to see their reaction.

Nobody except Max seemed to take his words seriously. So Alex sighed and said, "I don't expect you to believe me, but for the next month, you can't go out of the hotel,"

Alex then started explaining the system's functions to them and then said, "there is also a hidden class, called worker, that you need to spend money to activate. Blacksmith job falls under this class," Alex looked at Sid when he said the last part.

In his previous life, the first worker player didn't show up until more than six months had passed from the explosion.

There were a series of requirements that had to be met for the worker class to show up for a person, and one of them was money.

A person had to have at least a billion INBs in their account to be able to choose a worker class job; the other requirements weren't that hard either, for Alex, of course.

One of the things that a person needed to activate their worker class was for them to have an uncommon grade or higher equipment related to the job they wanted to choose. The higher the grade, the better the job.

Alex had already had the legendary items for Reyhan and Sid's class change and also two other legendary items that let them improve their jobs by leaps and bounds.

'now let's see how you react to this,' thought Alex before taking out the legendary hammer ha had taken from Nikoid.

Sid looked at the hammer with wide-open eyes, "wow, so beautiful; I want that."

Alex looked at him with a grin and said, "are you sure? If you want it, you have to sign a contract with me."

Alex had already talked about the contracts they needed to sign before joining, so Sid was more than familiar with what Alex meant. "ok, give me the contract; I will sign it now."

Alex summoned a contract and was about to give it to Sid to read when Sid snatched it out of his hands and signed it without even looking at it, and gave it back to Alex. Then he grabbed the hammer like he was picking up his beloved child and said, "you are now with papa; you don't need to worry about anything from now on; the scary man is gone now. I rescued you from his shitty hands."

"you shithead, that could have been a slave contract you signed right now; read before you sign, you idiot." Shouted Alex in annoyance.

"oh, shut up already; I know you don't have the spine to do something like that...."

Alex could only sigh at the stupid guy in front of him and just let it go.
