Words : 1759 Updated : Sep 21st, 2025

"Okay. This is an quiet unexpected drop, but hey. I will take it." – said Phantasia as he puts the mana crystal into his inventory.(An "Creation" or "Monster"? Then what would happened if I do both of those things in one go with either toy creation or golem creation? It is both "Creation" and "Monster", so I can already image some nasty and interesting stuff.) (Anyway, I wonder how floor 6 is like?) "…." "Should I try and beat it as well?" (I should maybe manage to beat the floor guardian of the floor 6…. But the problem is that the people are now "Looking" at that floor.) (There are also more stronger people in there as well and conflict with them will happened sooner or later, if not possible from get go.) (…. Ah fuck it.) (I already ended up clashing with Blue Diamond and that Obsidian Mane guilds.) (…. But for the best it would be for the best if I avoid clashing with any more high ranking guilds, if possible, since I don't want have too much "Noises" going around about me.) – though Phantasia as he walked to the newly manifested stairs. [Warning: You are leaving floor 5.] [Once you leave this floor, you will be unable to go back.] "…" "Wait." – said Phantasia to himself as he began walking backwards and getting back to the floor 5. "…." (Shit.) (I can't go.) (I maybe hide my identity as an Doctor, but Blue Diamond and some other guilds and people could end up now looking in my direction.) Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire (That fuking random PK party managed to figure out that I was Phantasia, even though I was covering up my face.) (And not only that, there is a lot of "Eyes" that are too curios and greedy…. If I beat the floor guardian of the floor 6, I could end up being on one of the suspect lists.) "Tch." (Too many people pays attention to floor 6, especially a lot of people that are either strong or control some power like an ranker guild or unregistered ranker guild.) (And since everybody is an competition, an "ENEMY". They will be watching me and my progress as well as any moves I make.) (Shit. This is an problem for me. And big one at that.) (Forget fighting rankers or ranker guilds. Just being there will make people watch me!) "…." "Tch." (Until the floor 6 is conquered or enough time passes, I'm straight up unable to even go near the floor 6 or even enter it.) (The best I can do now is to hunt on the floor 5…. But there are those FUKING Blue Diamond guild and their weird schemes…. I also may end up being forced to take action soon as Doctor, depending on what organization had found.) "…." (But what do I do about Blue Diamond guild?) (Do I keep killing them each time they got in my way? But wouldn't that cause an large conflict between us two in the process?) (I can do with some battles, but full out war? No thank you.) "Ah.... And the fuking drop items from the floor guardian are all materials…... I fuking want them... Shit." "…..." (Should I pop out the Doctor and harass those fuckers?) (But there is also that fuking guild master who is an ranker in top 500.) (And these bastards also have both resources and people…. How long it would take to deal with them and make them "Detach" from the dungeon?) (I can't waste too much time, since have other projects I need to finish, especially one related to golems upgrades.) "…." "Hm…." (I also need to somewhat start getting the fifth research going as well.) (The [Dungeon] research I'm planning on making will be maybe very needed in near future.) Right next to the stairs that have manifested after defeating the floor guardian there was also an column that was covered in many different symbols. [Do you wish to use the [Escape Pillar] to return back to the entrance floor?] [YES/NO] "Yes." – said Phantasia as he pressed the floating screen. Phantasia was surrounded with magic circle before moments later getting teleported out of the room. Moments later, Phantasia found himself on the entrance floor where countless players have gathered. (Welp, that was an shitty change of plans…. But I honestly should have seen that coming from miles away and I just didn't though about something as simple as that like some sort of complete idiot.) "Hey! Selling dungeon keys of the floor 5! Anybody interested?!" – shouted Phantasia. (Since the keys disappear if you get too far away from the dungeon, it's better to just sell those doubles I have gotten from before.) It did not took at all to sell the keys I had on collected and after selling them, I returned back to the city where I would try and lock myself away in my workshop while trying out the materials I had obtained from the labyrinth dungeon. But...*Sigh*. Fuck. My. Life. Why the hell things be calm when I'm not an FUKING DOCTOR?! "?" *Sigh* (Again with that knocking?! For fuck sake, can't they read or notice the straight that says to not disturb and do not enter?!) – though Phantasia as he carried around boxes filled with ingots. "…." (Then again, it could be the "Kid" again.) – though Phantasia as he put down the box of ingots on the ground and approached the door before then moving the board away that was blocking the peeping hole. "…." "Oh, you god to be fuking kidding me." – whispered Phantasia to himself as he began angrily unlocking the door before opening it. "…. What do you want?" – asked Phantasia after opening the door. "Greetings." - said the middle aged man with smile on his face. "My name is Diamond and I'm guild master of the Blue Diamond guild." In front of Phantasia stood an middle aged man wearing an white and blue suit as well as short shoulder cape. The man had short hair white hair while also having an pair of bright blue eyes. The man entire didn't looked anything like an any adventurer player would were and more like something than noble or merchant would be wearing. Behind the man also stood an pair of two players in full body armor. "…." [Diamon] [Guild Master Of Blue Diamond Guild] (He made his nickname and status public to the people.) – though Phantasia as he saw that the person in front of him had made his nickname visible to everybody around him. (I guess he doesn't want to avoid annoying questions "Who are you?") (But why the fuck is he here?) (For crying out loud…... Each time I'M TRYING to play normally like an GOOD BOY, the trouble comes my way! Like, what the fuck?) "I know you, Diamond. What do you want?" – asked Phantasia who seemed visible annoyed. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "…Do you mind if we talk insides?" – asked Diamond. (Oh, for fuck sake.) "Fine. Come in." – said visible annoyed and angry Phantasia as he let the Diamond and his two body guards inside his house. "…." *Sigh* "Look. I don't want to sound rude or something else, but I would like to get down straight to the business and know what the hell do you want from me." – said annoyed Phantasia. "Well, I want to talk about business. Obviously." – said Diamond as he tried looking around the house. "You are not registered in the craftsman ranking, but you are obviously an ranker craftsman if not high or master one at that." "Before we get down the business, can I at least ask you why are you not registered?" "Because I don't want some assholes running after me." – replied Phantasia. "I want to people know my name, so I can sell my stuff without problems, but I also don't want too much trouble." "Heck. After making that legendary armor as well as discovering the whole mana gun thing from my experiments, do you know how much I was bothered by both players and NPCs." "I became way too famous and it became way too annoying to do stuff in peace. I was even attacked multiple times by people as well because of that whole fame of mine." "That is why I straight up decided to stick to the auction more often now than open business one." "And now that you have your answer, I want to get down to the business." "I don't want any small or "Buddy-buddy talk" or anything else." "I just want to get "Straight"." "…" "Fine." – said Diamond. "Well then, I just was wondering if you can do something like an exclusive contract where I hire you." – said Diamond as he took out the piece of papers from the inventory. "And here is the stuff I'm offering you." "…." – Phantasia took the contract off Diamond hands and began reading it. (…. The price isn't that bad…. If anything, it's quite good.) – though Phantasia as he read through the contract. (The amount the money they are offering from staying in the guild as well as for any special commissions are also good...But this parts annoys me.) [The contractor will belong to the Blue Diamond guild and will be not allowed to do business on their own with any major or ranker [Individual] or [Guilds] without the guild permission.] (They want me all to themselves. Figures.) "Sorry, I got to decline." – said Phantasia as he handed back the contract. "Figures." – said Diamond as he took back the contract from Phantasia. "Well, how about something else?" "Do you accept an crafting commissions?" "Hm…..." (I want to decline this…. Since they DID get in my way…. But they are also an ranker guild that has a lot of influence.) – though Phantasia as he analyzed the situation. "…." (But then again, I don't want to go at "War" with them as "Phantasia", since it would give me way more trouble.) (Its honestly better idea to hear them out and find what they want.) "Go on. I'm listening." – said Phantasia.
