"So will it just be the two of us going for the negotiation?" the representative from the neighbouring kingdom asked?

"I suppose so," the user of "INFINITE HOTEL" replied.

Both of them were in a caravan as they passed through the empty grassy lands. They had planned to make the negotiations with the 3rd kingdom which they wanted to align with after they had defeated Yuki, however they changed their mind after they learned he was in the second dungeon already. He was growing to be too much of a danger to the world. Even they knew that they needed as much power as they could get.

"How many people did we bribe to use their abilities to give us information on what we need by now?" the representative.

"About 20-25 people in total. Since most people are only now beginning to reach level 2, their abilities are limited. It's sad when you think about it. This world is just a game of luck. Many people end up losing their limbs or see their comrades getting eaten in front of their eyes all in the hopes of leveling up. Once they experience that, they retire and end up living by occasionally hunting small monsters," the user of "INFINITE HOTEL '' replied.

"Sorry, I haven't properly introduced myself. I go by Scar. I'll be keeping my name a secret as it could help someone defeat it if they need my actual name to do so," the user of "INFINITE HOTEL" continued.

"That's fine. You can just call me Jing. I don't really think that being so careful is good since it causes so much stress. Plus, it's not like I'm the head of my kingdom. I'm just a representative" Jing said with a disappointed look on his face. It seemed to be yearning for more.

"Something seems to be on your mind. Spit it out already," said Scar.

"Well it's just that I thought I had finally gotten a break from being someone's lackey. In my previous life, I was treated like a servant by everyone. My boss, my family, even my friends. I could never bring myself to say no to any of their requests. All I got for it was getting treated like a dog," Jing vented.

"Well, that life is behind you. What matters now is what's ahead of you in this world. You should learn from your past mistakes and improve upon them now," explained Scar.

"That's the problem. I really did try to change. I refused the offer but the actual ruler of the kingdom ordered his guards to imprison me for 'treason'. That's how I ended up in this position in the first place," said Jing.

"A dictatorship? How problematic," Scar thought to himself.

"How about this. I'll offer you my protection, in exchange, you work for me. You will have freedom almost all the time and can leave whenever you wish. However while you are working for me, you will have to run occasional errands for me. It's not a bad deal since if the ruler of your kingdom tried to come after you, they'll be interfering with me, and since I'm one of if not the highest contributor to my kingdom's economy, they would be starting a war which I doubt anyone wants to do since all of the kingdom's main focus is strengthening their forces for now," Scar offered.

"Would you really do that for me?"

"Thank you so much," Jing accepted the offer happily.

"Don't worry about it. It's the least I could do to pay you back for all your hard work. Even if it does benefit your kingdom as well, we are still grateful for you," Scar replied.

"By the way, has your kingdom decided on a name for itself?" Scar asked.

"They actually have. I'm pretty sure it's called 'Lyanna'. I doubt any thought went into it. They probably picked the name which came to their head first," Jing said.

"What about yours? Have you decided on one yet?" Jing asked.

"Unfortunately we haven't. It's taking us much longer than we had thought," Scar replied.

Just then, the caravan came to a sudden stop. Realizing that they had arrived at their destination, they both took a deep breath and got out of the vehicle.

As they walked through the double gates of the kingdom which they had arrived at to do business with, they were created by nearly a dozen guards, all lined in a straight line, six on each side of the gate. In the front was their guide which was responsible for showing them to the negotiations room.

Once they arrived in the negotiation room, the guide exited the room and left the 3 representatives to speak alone.

"Good afternoo-" as Scar began to do introductions, he was interrupted by the representative from the kingdom which they had arrived at.

"Let's get right to business. I'm pretty sure I know what you came here for, and if I am correct, we can't afford to waste time," the representative said.

"Your right. We want assistance in the form of human soldiers to help us defeat Yuki Kaito," Scar explained.

"I thought so. They've started calling him 'the emotionless killer' for his streak of turning on those who trust him. He's a master of deception and quick killings. We've also learned of his rank as a level 7 player. You seriously expect us to join you in a suicide mission?" the representative asked.

"We thought it may come to this. First of all, its not a suicide mission. We plan to keep the casualties to a minimum. Secondly, I will personally offer you as much silver as you wish for your cooperation. And lastly, if you refuse out kind offers, our two kingdoms will combine our forces to wipe your kingdom off this new world. Without your help, we'll probably all die. But with you on our side, we have a fighting chance. We cannot allow that monster to roume free in this world. He's a human plague," Scar replied.

The representative sighed.

"I don't have much of a choice here. You've backed me into a corner."

"On behalf of this kingdom, I agree to an alliance with your two kingdoms to bring down Yuki Kaito," the repsentative said as he shaked the hands off Scar and Jing.
