MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 201: Fifth Generals



The Crimson Hound's banner flapped against the wind of the spring.

The Mercenary Street was as busy as always, and there were hundreds of guilds lining up the road.

With hundred other guilds, Crimson Hound looked like just any ordinary guild, and it wasn't eyecatching for bystanders.

It had already been around seven months since they came to the Ebonreach, and they had struggled to make a name for themselves.

An incident that happened beyond the wall a while back was a big setback for the guild, and they were still trying to recover from it.

At the current moment, the front door closed because of the wind, but then a person opened it and stepped inside with a backpack hanging over his broad shoulder.

He looked around the guild building with a smile on his face-it looked like he was quite impressed and pleased.

Adam then noticed the receptionist area as the receptionist, a young woman with long blond hair seemed to be occupied by something, not even looking in his direction.

With his strong fingers, he tapped on the receptionist desk to get her attention. "Excuse me, miss."

"If you want to arrange an appointment, take a paper and pen from there," she said while lazily pointing towards the corner of the desk, where there was a stack of papers and a few pens.

"I am not here for an appointment; I am here to meet Digby."

"If you want to meet the guild master, you'll need to arrange an appointment. He is a busy man."

"I am a member of this guild," Adam said.

She finally looked up from her papers and straight at Adam-he was surprised she could see anything past her thick eyeliner.

"I don't recognize you." She said.

"This is my mercenary card." Adam said and handed over his card, not bothering to explain about his whereabouts for the seven months.

She read through his name her expression didn't change then she read the text about his mercenary affiliation and looked slightly surprised that he was actually a member of their guild.

Then, she caught sight of the recruit text, and her black eyes popped open in shock.

Her jaw almost dropped.

She had been the receptionist for the Crimson Hounds for the past few months, as she couldn't become mercenary as she received a pathetic score of E in the tutorial.

Thus, she traveled around the New World until she found herself in Ebonreach.

It wasn't a nice place for a young woman such as herself, so she hoped to find work in some guild for protection and became the receptionist for Crimson Hounds.

She had heard about this guild and that they had an S-ranker in their guild.

She couldn't understand how because this guild screamed ordinary from the outside and inside.

While she was just an E-ranked recruit, she always wondered just how great S-rankers were as she continued hearing about Adam through the mouths of other guild members.

"Y-you..." she stammered.

"Hey, Lydia." At that moment, Lucette walked down from the front door with a broken umbrella in hand. "Do you have another umbrella? This one was riddled with holes."

Lydia didn't answer as she continued staring at Adam blankly, an awkward expression on her face.

Lucette frowned, wondering what's going on, and then saw the young man and asked. "Do you need help?"

"Lucette, long time no see." Adam smiled.

She frowned.

While she didn't recognize him, she thought that the voice sounded familiar but a little deeper.

She picked up his mercenary card from Lydia's hands and checked it out.

Her eyes widened in shock.

"Adam...?"

"You didn't recognize me?" Adam scratched the back of his head. "I am kind of hurt."

"Adam!" With a bright smile, she hugged him and pushed his head against her breasts. "You're back!"

"You've grown so tall and handsome! What happened to you?!"

Having difficulties breathing, Adam struggled to free himself from her tight embrace.

He tapped on her back as a sign of surrender, and then she finally freed him.

"I thought you wouldn't be back for another two years." Lucette said with a giant smile. "Why

so soon?"

"Is Digby here?" Adam asked. "I'll explain it to you all at the same time."

"Mm, he is at his office." Lucette grabbed his hand and led him to the second floor.

A short walk later, they arrived at the guild master's office.

With a couple knocks, Lucette opened the door without waiting for a response and saw Digby

sitting at his desk, meditating.

"What did I say about interrupting?" Digby slowly opened his eyes.

"Adam's back!" Lucette shouted and dragged Adam behind her.

"Adam?" Digby raised an eyebrow, surprised, and stood up from his chair. "You're back?

What happened."

'It looks like they didn't send a letter to him about my sudden disappearance.' Adam thought. Adam then smiled and said, "I didn't think I could learn any more from them." "What?" Digby frowned, and without any courtesy, he used his Kiryoku on him and fell a step back, his eyes widening in shock.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Your strength..." He couldn't believe it. "How? It's been only seven months!"

While he was impressed by his current level, he was Prime Mercenary and was able to see even deeper into Adam's strength that surpassed his level greatly!

"Your Three Powers, how're they?" Digby sat back down and asked with a serious expression.

"Kiryoku is at the peak of the of the second level; I think I can reach the third level soon."

Hearing that, both Digby and Lucette were stunned.

The third level was something that took years to achieve for many.

It took Digby five years to reach that, and he was currently at the peak of the third level.

While the first and second levels weren't that hard to achieve, the jump to the third was immense, yet Adam was already confident that he would be able to achieve that!

"I am second level in Kraft." Adam said and clad the sleeve of his shirt with a black layer of

armor.

Digby nodded.

It wasn't as shocking as the thing with Kiryoku, but impressive nonetheless.

"And I am at the peak second level in Magick," Adam said. "I think I can reach third level this

month."

"Whoah..." Lucette, who was a magician, was impressed as well.

She was at the peak third level; it took her six years to achieve.

However, the gate that was blocking the third level was incredibly hard to pass, so she

believed that Adam was quite a bit underestimating the difficulty of that.

"Mm..." Digby nodded and said. "No wonder you left that institute. If you believe that was the

best decision, I trust you."

"How's the things been in here?" Adam asked out of curiosity.

Digby's expression turned serious. "Not good."

"Huh?"

"We've encountered some problems." Digby said. "A while back, I sent Zahn and a few others

to beyond the wall to treasure hunt as I had received a map for one of the locations.

"Unfortunately, while they were returning, they were ambushed and killed."

"Zahn is dead?" Adam looked surprised.

"Yes..." Digby scratched the back of his head. "Killed by someone named Victor Vash. I asked

my uncle, and apparently he is the leader of a group called Wild Sons, one of the more

notorious groups among Wildlifers."

"Victor Vash..." Adam's eyes turned cold.

'The Fifth General of Death Faction, Victor Vash from Wild Sons.'

In his past life, he'd encountered him on the battlefield more times than he would've wanted

to.

While Adam was the Fifth General of Star Faction, he was the Fifth General of Death Faction, so of course there was some serious rivalry between the two.
