73 Guild Established! Heavenly Melody Castle's fifth-floor, garden balcony.
Erix, Rin, and her parents sat at a table. Isabella was not at the table since she was with Aaron below to feed him some food.
"So, Erix. What happened to you?" Kenshin asked, his gaze directed at Erix's eyes.
'Here it comes,' Erix thought as he revealed a helpless smile. "I'll keep it short, Mr. Kenshin. A zombie bit me, but instead of turning into a zombie, I somehow became a hybrid zombie."
"Oh? That's interesting," Kenshin rubbed his chin and slowly nodded.
"Erix, is everything in your body working fine?" asked Rin's mother, Sameira. She had an olive skin tone and long light purple hair. Her face displayed genuine concern as she asked, "Like all the organs...are they working as a Hybrid Zombie?"
"Mom," Rin's cheeks flushed.
"Yes. Everything is working fine and some better than before," Erix smiled.
"It seems my daughter is no longer innocent," Sameira sighed.
"If you don't stop teasing me, I will leave," Rin pouted.
"That's right, Seri. Stop bullying Rin," Kenshin grinned and turned to Erix, "So Erix, we don't oppose your relationship with your teacher-"
Erix's lips slightly twitched at how Kenshin emphasized the word 'teacher' when speaking.
"-But Rin is a treasured pearl of the Veiren family, and we Martial Artist families have a group of our own. We even got marriage proposals for her, but we've left her marriage decision to Rin from the start."
When Kenshin paused there, Sameira continued, "So, although you won't have any troubles from our side, some men who want to marry Rin will surely approach you and challenge you. Not for Rin, but to see why Rin chose you and, if possible, humiliate you in front of her."
Erix chuckled. "So, I get free sparring opponents I can bash? Perfect."
Kenshin and Seri were slightly taken aback at his response before they laughed.
"That's right. Beat them as you wish," Kenshin slapped the table with a grin. "One will come to you as soon as he hears the news that Rin is here. He is the leader of the Black Swan guild and the heir of the Yagun family, which is the second martial artist family in Phoenix City."
"Yagun Mubei?" Rin said with a snort. "He got no chance against Erix. More importantly,"
Rin continued, "We have a guild creation slate, so we will create our guild somewhere in the meadow."
12:03
"If you got it, then use it," Sameira nodded and stood up. "Settle your guild there quickly if you have the slate. The sooner, the better."
"That's right," Kenshin nodded as he also stood up. "Let's go."
Rin and Erix also stood up.
"You two are coming too?"
"Of course. We'll help you clear the Structure dungeon quickly to get the buildings for your guild."
…
They shortly arrived at their desired spot, northwest of the Labyrinth Tower.
Kenshin and Sameira could also fly, but Kenshin was flying with some invisible wind energy around him while Sameira was flying with a pair of verdant-silver wings resembling butterfly wings but sharper looking.
The area that Erix and Rin had chosen was filled with trees and plants and was eight hundred meters from the Labyrinth tower.
The nearest guild from their location was none other than SkyKnight guild, situated 1.5 kilometers south in the direction of Phoenix City.
After Erix used the guild creation slate, an area of 350 square meters was cleared off of trees and plants while the ground was also replaced with brown soil.
Immediately after that, a glowing sparky trail manifested in the air beside Erix and shot up high in the sky.
Erix and Rin were startled, but Kenshin and Sameira just smiled.
"Free publicity," Kenshin said before the fire trail blasted into a colorful spark in the sky and showed big letters which combined to become the guild's name.
Guild: Unfettered Fate.
Erix and Rin decided on this name for a few reasons, but mainly because it was a cool and suitable name for a guild.
A dungeon gate also appeared in the center of the guild's area. It looked the same as the structure dungeon gate in other guild areas they saw—a gate with a plain white structure of a concrete material other than cement.
"Let us hurry into the dungeon first since you can only enter once every twelve hours," Kenshin said. "Invite us into your party and enter."
…
While four of them entered the structural dungeon, the public in the meadow was startled by the firework display.
"A new guild!"
"Who created it?"
"Unfettered Fate? Haha, let's go and see how they recruit official members."
"Maybe Gakul's group finally got the guild creation plate?"
Many people started moving in the direction of the Unfettered Fate guild.
After arriving there, they stood outside the plain white ground border that marked the guild's area.
One of the guild's benefits was that other than official members of a guild, other people needed to get an official member's permission to enter a guild's territory.
Level 1 guild could have ten official members, and level 2 guild fifty official members.
Ten minutes passed before Erix, Rin, and her parents exited the dungeon gate.
Erix and Rin were startled at the public that gathered.
"There they are!"
"Wait? Aren't those two masters of the Veiren family?"
"They are leaders of Heavenly Melody guild!"
A small uproar ensued among the people when they recognized Kenshin and Sameira, but they ignored the public.
"See what you got from the chest," Sameira said to Erix.
"We killed all monsters within the time limit, so the reward should be the best you could possibly get," Kenshin said.
Erix nodded and took out the crate.
The structure dungeon only rewarded the party leader, and that too with a single crate.
[Structure Treasure Crate]
Erix opened it before a colorful glow exuded from the crate.
It spewed out two miniature building models.
"Interesting, a new type of theme on structure," Kenshin nodded and smiled. "Do you want to change this structure to a design similar to Heavenly Melody's main castle? We have a few spare models."
"You are kidding," Rin rolled her eyes. "Our's is way better than yours."
Indeed. The two structure models were completely different from other guilds' structures. Since all guilds wanted their own uniqueness, each chose to use structures with varying design styles and themes from others.
First, Erix put the one he considered his, Rin's, and Isabella's personal residence at the back in the guild's area. It was a beautiful cherry blossom tree palace. In contrast, he put the bigger building ten meters in front of the dungeon gate.
The cherry blossom tree palace was fifteen meters tall and surrounded by a natural wooden fence with a small entry gate. The giant tree was thick with countless tiny pink leaves ranging from light to dark pink.
Upon entering, one could climb the wooden stairs to enter the first house, akin to a guest pavilion.
But the primary residence of the structure was above that in the giant tree, in the form of a small Japanese-style mansion.
The second structure was not tree-based but a mansion with a design style mix of medieval fantasy and Eastern.
Finally, their guild was ready.
