My Angelic System

Lightbringer nodded in agreement. 'That's what we need to find out. But we need to be cautious. The forces that took them could be powerful and dangerous.'

Kye nodded solemnly, understanding the gravity of the situation. He knew that he needed to be careful and not let his emotions get the best of him. He had to stay strong and focused, for himself and for his friends.

'I will do whatever it takes to find them.' Kye said, determination in his voice.

Lightbringer smiled faintly. 'I know you will, Kye. And I will be here to guide you along the way.'

Kye felt a surge of gratitude towards Lightbringer. He knew that he couldn't do this alone and that he needed all the help he could get.

'Thank you, Lightbringer.' Kye said, smiling brightly even though there wasn't anyone who could receive this smile.

'You're welcome, Kye. Now, let's get moving.' Lightbringer said, determination visible in its voice.

'Yes. But where should we go? Where should we start?'

'It's not I who should tell you this. Don't forget that someone like you need to take their decisions most of the time alone.' Lightbringer advised him, reminding Kye once again that he was a prince.

'Then there is no point in staying here.' Kye said as he started moving. 'The military is dead now, at least this one, so we should go somewhere else.'

'Yes, that's the spirit!'

Kye then started to walk somewhere. It didn't take him long as he was extremely fast thanks to his wings.

Indeed now that he didn't need to hide anymore, he could do things a lot more easily without caring about who could see him.

And so he went toward the teleportation room. If he needed to get somewhere, it was the fastest way.

Thankfully once he was there, everything was still intact. 'Guess the monsters only managed to attack the building slightly enough to make everyone flee.' Kye thought as he started setting coordinates into the strange board.

It was also very easy to do it, so even though Kye had no prior knowledge about using such machines, he still managed to set the planet he wanted to go to.

'Do you really want to go to this planet?' Lightbringer asked. 'If my memories are right, there are only high-level people and monsters there. They aren't things you can fight against, you know?'

'It's alright. I can still find a party that can help me grow. And I have someone to meet there, you see.'

'Argh, yeah I remember. He lived on that planet, didn't he?' Kye could sense that Lightbringer was rolling his eyes even though he wasn't supposed to have eyes in the first place. 'I don't like him.'

'Why? He's so nice. He even trained me. Sure it was a living hell, but I still improved a lot thanks to him.'

'He's not nice at all. I just don't like him, that's all.'

'Argh, sure you geezer. You're boring.' Kye chuckled as he crossed the portal while Lightbringer was busy rambling as always.

***

As he crossed the portal, Kye could see people walking left and right on a sunny day. On the far horizon, he could see a giant volcano with dark smoke being released by them and creating giant black cloud.

"Oyy, just move already." An annoyed voice came from behind.

"Ah, yes I'm sorry." Kye bowed his head before moving away. He had of course put back his wings and halo back before coming here as it would create quite an uproar if he were to show himself as an angel.

'Well now that I came here, where should I go?' Kye asked Lightbringer as the latter took time to think.

'Based on my knowledge, there are several guilds and factions on this planet that are known for taking in new adventurers and helping them grow,' Lightbringer replied. 'Perhaps you could start by finding one of those and see if they are willing to take you in?'

'That sounds like a good idea,' Kye nodded. 'But do you happen to have any information on where I can find these guilds or factions?'

'I don't have that information on hand, but there are a few options," Lightbringer said. "You could try asking the locals, or you could look for a directory or bulletin board that lists the guilds and factions in the area.'

Indeed even though the four big families were the greatest factions, there were still a lot of people creating their own guilds or factions, and some even managed to get to a pretty decent level.

'Alright, I'll start by asking around then,' Kye said, before setting off in the direction of a group of people chatting nearby. "Excuse me, do any of you happen to know of any guilds or factions that take in new adventurers on this planet?"

The group of people turned to Kye, eyeing him up and down before one of them spoke up. "Depends on what you're looking for, kid. There are a lot of guilds and factions out here, but not all of them are worth your time."

Kye nodded, understanding that he needed to be careful with his choices. "I'm looking for a group that can help me grow stronger."

The person who had spoken up nodded thoughtfully. "Well, if that's what you're looking for, I'd recommend checking out the Ironclad Guild. They're a pretty powerful group with a lot of resources and connections. They're always looking for new recruits, so you might have a shot at getting in with them."

"Well Ironclad is a good guild, but I wouldn't advise you to go there," A woman who was part of the group as well spoke. "They are indeed strong, but their methods are sometimes questionable."

"Where should I go then?" Kye asked as he was now confused.

"Well, there are a lot of different guilds and factions on this planet, each with its own goals and specialties." Another man answered Kye's question. "For example, if you're looking for a combat-focused guild, the Blood Knights are a good choice," he said. "They're one of the strongest guilds on the planet, and they specialize in training warriors. Though they are a little too focused on chivalry and codes of honor."

Kye considered this for a moment. He knew that he needed to get stronger quickly, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to join a guild that was focused solely on combat. "Are there any other options?" he asked.

The man thought for a moment. "Well, there's the Silver Sages as well," he said. "They're a mage guild, but they also have a lot of knowledge about the different creatures and environments on the planet. Though looking at you, you don't look like a mage."

"Indeed, I mostly fight in close-quarter or as a support as I can heal pretty decently as well."

"Maybe then the Holy Church is the greatest choice for you." The woman from earlier said. "They aren't focused on specific things like close-quarter combatants or mages but rather take kind-hearted people. So you might as well just give it a shot there." She smiled to reassure Kye.

Kye nodded, considering this option as well. "Thank you," he said. "Do you know where I can find either of these guilds?"

The man pointed in the direction of a nearby city. "The Blood Knights have their headquarters in that city," he said. "And the Silver Sages have a research facility on the outskirts of town. As for the Holy Church, they are in the city as well. You can't miss it as the church is quite a popular destination for tourists."

Kye thanked the man and set off toward the city, feeling hopeful that he would be able to find a guild that could help him grow rapidly, meaning that he'll be able to find his friends quickly. And if he were to get the resources of a strong guild, then it would speed up his research even further.

Not talking about his acquaintance, of course. Though, he was sure he'll be able to find him near the volcano at the far end of his view.

And as he walked, he couldn't help but think about the different factions and guilds on this planet, and which ones were truly the greatest. It seemed that everyone had their own opinions, and Kye wasn't sure who to believe. All he knew was that he needed to get stronger, and he would do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Though, a guild caught his attention more than the others.
