“So where is your guild located?”

‘Hmmmmmmm….’ I thought to myself.

‘If the guild is created by a new leader… me…… and I don’t have a base of operation…….. where does that lead the guild’s location to be?.......

…..

…..

…..

…..

…..

FUCKKKK wouldn’t that be my sewer… My small tiny chute………’

I suddenly froze in place….

“Is everything okay Fenix? You seem rather shooked.”

‘I should just tell her the truth. After all I hate people who lie the most. If I did that myself what would that make me.’

“Ayuzawa-san… the truth is, I don’t have a base of operations for the guild. So based of my deduction or common sense, I’d presume the location of the guild would be centered at my home.”

“That’s lovely, I’d like to see your home.”

“Yeah that’s the problem…”

“I don’t get it, what’s wrong with your house?”

“You’ll get it when we reach there. It’s just a minute more from where we are, not too far of from the town.”

We walked up to my tiny little chute.

“This is the entrance to my home…”

…

…

…

“You mean you live in the sewage? I’d kind of expected some really runned down home but this is at a whole nother level ain’t it….”

I walked towards the chute and cleaned it up for her to be able to enter my home without having to dirty her cloak and her clothes. After cleaning it, I’d told her that I’d head in first to ensure that there was no dangerous items or things and that this will make sure that’s she’s safe as she comes down.

*Wooosh*(Yes… this is my sound for sliding down a chute…. LOL)

“(“(“(“It’s safe Ayuzawa-san, please head down”)”)”)”

The response echoes through the chute as I call out to Ayuzawa-san.

*Wooooosh*

It might be surprising, but this is was not just a chute home as some might say, I’m actually skillful in a lot of different arts. Like Blacksmithing, Katana skills, Throwing skills and of course cooking skills(But this was barely used because I had no archive of ingredients.) This was not something I wanted the rest to know though, I kept it a secret from Ayuzawa-san… at least for now.

“Uwaaaaaaaa, this was definitely not a place you’d expect to show up after you entered a chute near a sewage, it’s like an elite secret base... “

As Ayuzawa entered the chute she landed on some ragged cotton that was on the floor, this served as a cushion in case of hard landings from riding the chute down. The place had a weird shape to it, something that looks like the bottom of a massive tree stump, it was well sheltered from everything, it had a roof, it was part of the ground to begin with. My home laid out in almost 4 portions, the top left from the entrance being a relaxing area and where I slept. There was my bed, 2 navy blue ragged sofas and a red carpet. The top left of the area from the entrance, being my blacksmithing area. Believe it or not, I’m actually really skilled at making weapons.

In the blacksmithing area, there lies a forge at the very edge at the wall, there was a forging table shaped in an L with a stone container filled with water meant for cooling. On the right side was an anvil that was made out of collected scraps.

Towards the center right of the area, there was 2 slashed up training dummies that I used for training, they were both beside of the crafting area. I had a crafting area which had a tool wall and a crafting table with an archive behind it containing all of my loot(Scraps, Wood).

The opposite side of the house had a stove and a dining table that was self made with 4 chairs…. (Although I only use 1 TvT).

That was technically everything I had in the house, this was a self made house in the making of a decade.

“What’s that? Why is there a glowing stone in the center of my house?”

“That’s the einrit, it’s the guild’s statuses and where you update your statuses.”

“How did it magically appear in the center of my house?”

“I wouldn’t know, usually when one creates a guild, the einrit appears at the guild’s base of operations, and since you didn’t have one I’d assume it just appeared in your base of operations which is technically your house.”

“In any case, for me to join your guild, it needs to be registered through the guild’s einrit.”

“So how do you join using the einrit?”

“When one joins a new guild, they have to offer their blood, just a drop would do. So Fenix, are you sure you want me to join this guild? If you still do, let’s begin the offering?”

“Yes! I really do actually, I got really lucky getting you as my first guildmate and on the first day I created my guild too. Actually, I’ve been really lucky today, it’s kind of scary.”

Ayuzawa then started taking her cloak off and her top.

I stared lewdly as I saw Ayuzawa’s beautiful back.

“Hmmm. So… Why are you removing your top?”

Ayuzawa then took her staff and casted a little spell that pricked her index finger, as she dropped her blood on to the einrit, the einrit lit up in a beautiful teal blue light, this light flew to my hands and danced around it.

“Fenix, please put your hands on my back and feel that you want to accept me into your guild.”

“P-p-put my hands on your back? Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“If you say so”

I put my hands on Ayuzawa’s back as I thought of her joining the guild, the lights on my hands then went into ayuzawa’s body and lit a beautiful insignia on her back. It was of utmost beauty, of what I had the most emotions for. A beautiful phoenix. Coated in teal flames.

“The Insignia is something the guild masters believes the most in, it takes out the most deepest emotions and thoughts the guild master has towards the guild and it takes that thought and transforms it into an insignia. The size of the Insignia also matters, the stronger the thoughts and emotions the bigger the Insignia shines and glister. This insignia is the most beautiful and one of the biggest insignia’s I’ve seen. Yet it’s glister is an amazing sparkle. I feel blessed carrying such an insignia.”

My heart started feeling tingly, I was moved. Tears started flowing down my eyes, and I had no idea why. It’s probably because of all of the hard work I’ve put in. It’s coming into fruition.

“Fenix… are you okay? Why are you crying?”

“It’s nothing.” As I rubbed my eyes.

“Fenix, being in your guild means I have to stay in your base of operations too. Which means, from today onwards I’m gonna be living in your house.”

“Huh, I guessed so, I’m sorry the place is in such a terrible state. I’ll be sleeping on the couch, the bed is yours.”

“Oh, but this is your home? I wouldn’t mind the couch, I’ve been a wanderer for a few weeks now, I’m used to the harsh conditions.”

“All the more you should take the bed, it’s a man’s pride.”

“Well let’s head to bed for now, it’s been a long day, I’m exhausted. Let’s head out to the dungeon tomorrow, since you’re here I must make sure that there is at least enough funds for you to eat well.”

“Unnnn” She agrees with a blush and a rather small voice.

I turned of the lights as I headed to the couch.

Tomorrow's gonna be an exciting day.

it’s the start of Phoenix Victoria.
