"Well, I'll leave this for later, I think I could do something about these souls." I said. "However, the Players… Ah."
Suddenly, I found myself surrounded by many Players. It wasn't my friends, but there was the Four Guild Masters, and then a mysterious Vampire Woman and four other Players as well.
There was a total of nine new Players here… And they all were admiring the giant tree from afar, but were getting closer. Agh, what do I do now?!
No… relax. The guild masters are my friends now, officially. If they saved the lives of the fairies and all, they have already proved themselves.
Though I will be not joining any of their guild!
Anyways, Gandalf, Angelina, Anikitty, and Erdrich all rushed to my side, greeting everyone. Titania had changed her view of other Players than my party after how they helped her Kingdom and even revived her people.
Angelina has a very powerful set of light attribute spells… I wonder if I could learn a few of those, she even used a Reviving Spell to revive people! I cannot do that myself, right? I must learn it…
"Planta! We finally meet once more. And it seems you never stop surprising us. You've evolved into this gigantic tree?" Asked Angelina, her fascinated expression was clear as the water.
"Y-Yeah, something like that… Ahahah…" I giggled a bit nervously.
"And the Demon King was slain by you and the other Players…" Said Erdrich.
"We are so lucky to have seen such a thing!" Said Anikitty.
"It was amazing!" Angelina said.
"It really was. You'll become a popular player from now on." Sighed Gandalf. "Wait, you kind of already are, aren't you?"
"Ahhh… I guess."
Right, now that I remember, they probably don't know this world is real, right? They don't. So it means I cannot talk with them as freely about these things. If I tell them this is all real they'll take me for a nutjob or something.
"Thanks for saving the Fairies anyways! Even if they're considered NPC, I've become very fond of everyone in this forest, they're all my friends." I sighed.
"Yeah, their advanced artificial intelligence is amazing, its normal to get attached to these people." Angelina said. "This world… It is so realistic it often makes me want to believe it's real. These people here are so realistic I just treat them as normal people, so I often feel a lot of sadness when other players or monsters mistreat NPC or hurt them. I would had been heartbroken if this place was destroyed by the demon king."
"She's like that, she's always compassionate to everyone even the NPC!" Anikitty sighed. "Well everyone's here is super nice and the place's beautiful too, I'm glad we could complete this world event quest… or whatever it was."
"We managed to beat it with the least casualties, the rewards are probably quite bountiful this time." Erdrich added.
"Planta, I know we angered you back then and Titania was also pissed at us for being Players and all…" Sighed Gandalf. "But could it be possible for you to add us as your friends this time?"
"O-Oh… Sure thing! I owe you a lot now that you've helped the fairies and even defeated many monsters. I heard your amazing skills helped protect the forest." I said, holding up the urge to just tell them everything was actually real. "Let's be friends and get along~!"
I quickly added them all to my friend list, so they can now message me freely and all. Aside from that, however, they had other things they wanted to talk about.
"You've achieved a never-seen before evolution, Planta." Said Angelina. "And based in the lore and everything we found out about the quest; it seems you've become a pillar of the game world."
"According to the lore it says the world tree that was here long ago was destroyed by the demon king, but it seems you've become the new world tree… I never expected a player to be able to do this." Anikitty said.
"You may be even more harassed by high level players now that you've become this famous. If you didn't notice, there was a message saying that a new world tree seedling was born and that you were the owner of it… or something." Gandalf said.
"E-Eh?! Really?!" I asked in shock.
"Wait, is that true?!" Titan freaked out at the same time.
"Damn it!" Achlys said.
"W-What's wrong?" Acorn seemed confused.
"Is it bad?" Lily had no idea either even as a Player.
"I don't really get it, but let the Players talk about their Player things for now." Said Titania.
"Yeah! You guys are also included in there, the whole party." Said Angelina. "You were said to be the top players that dealt the most damage against the Demon King as well, so you're practically celebrities."
"The dropped rewards for defeating the Demon King are also immense for those that deal the most damage." Said Gandalf. "Congratulations, you've really done quite an achievement."
"I guess it's fair to call you guys "Super Rookies" from now on!" Laughed Anikitty. "Also that big guy, Titan, right? I never saw an Ent that could manipulate flames! You're pretty unique yourself, aren't you?"
"A party full of Super Rookies, all of them holding special evolutions and classes never seen before, truly unique and powerful, and turning upside down the meta game! I can already see this in all the forums headlines!" Said Gandalf.
"Y-You guys are freaking me out a bit…" I sighed.
"Ahahaha, sorry about that. We all get excited when we meet someone famous." Angelina apologized. The blonde angel smiled back at me and gave me a handshake. "Planta, we've got you an idea."
"An idea?" I wondered.
"Yeah, how about you make your own Guild?" Asked Angelina.
"We thought about it, if you don't want to join ours, then join our alliance with your own guild!" Anikitty said.
"You can do as much for us, right? We helped you and all." Erdrich said.
"We would be forever grateful to have you in our alliance!" Gandalf asked.
"A guild…" I looked back at my friends. They seemed just as surprised over the idea.
But the more I thought about it… the more appealing it sounded.
Should I make one?
