With a serious face, Legolas addressed them. "I have a mission for the both of you".
"Horny Assassin, Ghost Fe…"
"Ghost Sentry sir". Ghost Sentry bowed and politely corrected.
Legolas continued. "I am a benevolent being, I began observing the both of you since you came in my moment of need to rescue me from my plight".
"When against the Clown Society, I called for help and you both responded. For that, I am grateful and was why I agreed to take the both of you in".
Both players rubbed their heads, clearly, they were flattered by his words and like expected, Horny Assassin's reaction was even more ridiculous as he laughed and revealed his white teeth.
Legolas ignored the interruption and continued. "Once again, I was in a moment of need and sought for help from the both of you and you responded".
"It was due to your help that the citizens of the Blue Scale Prefecture were able to escape successfully from the center of the attack".
"All these missions were deliberately made by me; it was a test of trust".
"Well, congratulations, the both of you passed".
"By passing, you met the requirements to make it into my team. Like you will soon know, the Clown Society is a powerful force that seeks to destroy this world by destroying the current order that keeps it stable".
"The Clown Society is our greatest enemy, join my quest to eradicate them".
At the same time that Legolas spoke, he accessed his NPC interface status.
-----
You have created a Grade E Mission: Rescuing a Prince
Mission Reward: 5000 Experience Points and a faction invitation
…
Faction Invitation: Legolas Baron
By joining Legolas's faction, you gain access to his weapons, class knowledge, and other valuables that he is willing to part with for faction points.
----
Instantly after he created the mission, it appeared to both players.
[You have received a Grade E Mission: Rescuing a Prince]
[Mission Reward: 5000 Experience Points and a faction invitation]
…
[You have triggered the Main Storyline Grade A Mission: Enemy of the Clown Society!]
[Mission Details: Join Legolas's rising faction to fight the Clown Society.]
[Mission Reward: ???]
[Do you want to accept Main Storyline Mission?]
Horny Assassin and Ghost Sentry's jaws dropped.
They both screamed in their minds. 'Holy sh*t, we really hit the jackpot, we actually met an NPC that could trigger main storyline missions'.
"Am I dreaming, if I am, don't wake me up". Horny Assassin like expected was the first to voice his astonishment at the notification before him.
"Huh?" Legolas was surprised at his reaction since he could not see the new mission that was triggered in their player interface status.
"Is anything the problem?" He asked.
Both players did not respond with words, they responded with their actions. They kneeled down and kowtowed before him. "Master, we pledge to follow you".
"…" Legolas was even more surprised, he looked at them speechlessly.
Well, he did not expect this but it still did the job so he was satisfied.
Once they accepted the mission, another pop-up notification appeared in Legolas's interface status and he made the required settings.
-----
You have created a faction: Legolas's Faction
Member capacity: 10
Current members: 3/10
You have placed 5 items in the faction shop
[Shop: 3 Basic Summoner knowledge, 1 Basic Elementalist knowledge, and an uncommon grade weapon]
----
With Aaron's help, the injured Grade A Elementalist that was stuck in the grey world, Legolas had access to all the Elementalist knowledge that he needed.
He put only 1 there first to entice them and see their reactions.
Like he expected, on seeing the newly created faction, Horny Assassin and Ghost Sentry reacted like kids who were just taken to the supermarket for the first time. The only thing was that they needed currencies to get anything.

Faction points and experience points were the only way to get anything in the faction shop. Faction points could be gained by completing missions for him.
This was the only way that Legolas could think of to retain the 2 player's loyalty, through benefit and he was right, they were completely bought in.
Originally, Ghost Sentry aspired to become a pro player playing as a Pugilist. But having seen Legolas in action, his conviction wavered and now that the opportunity was presented before him, he decided to become a Summoner.
While Ghost Sentry took the Summoner basic knowledge, Ghost Assassin instead took the Elementalist basic knowledge.
"I've always wanted to be an Elementalist".
"Conjuring fire like Merlin, manipulating the elements like the Avatar…"
"Hahaha, I f*cking run this game!"
"Manchester f*cking united!"
Once they got the class knowledge, with Legolas's help, both players did not encounter any troubles as they smoothly became Grade F superhuman players.
After that, Legolas retired to sleep.
Both players did not sleep immediately though, Ghost Sentry and Horny Assassin soon got busy as they got set to flood the player global forum with oppressive screenshots that would ignite a virtual war.
>Ghost Sentry- [Screenshot][Screenshot]<
>Horny Assassin- [Screenshot]<
>Horny Assassin- [Screenshot]<
>Horny Assassin- Caption- You can't dull my sparkle, forever Legolas's sidekick [cool face emoji] <
Ghost Sentry's was calmer, but Horny Assassin's messages really ignited a war.
>King Fisherman- Holy Fuckity sh*t! My eye dey pain me abi?<
>Mashed Potato Lord- F*ck! A Main Storyline Mission? That's impossible, I can bet all my fortune on it that it's edited work!<
>Sus Lord- Your name alone sounds sus man, Mashed Potato Lord, I bet you don't even have any fortune to bet so just forget it and quit boasting<
>Sus Lord- But seriously, if this is true, it's incredible man. This is still just the beta testing but someone already triggered a main storyline mission, is this not a spoiler? This game is really coming out with new elements<
>…<
>…<
>…<
Amid the flood of messages mostly focused on denial, astonishment, and disbelief that kept on being sent till it was late in the night, one of the messages finally caught Ghost Sentry's attention.
>Blue River- I am the guild leader of the Blue Brook Guild. @Horny Assassin @Ghost Sentry. If any of you are online, please dm me<
Horny Assassin was shocked. "Blue River?"
Without hesitation, he dmed this well-known player.
