World Online

The two of them looked at Jake with bated breaths.

"So then? Don't leave us in this suspense. Tell us. What the hell is this thing?" Myriad Arrows asked.

"This? Well, a lot of these bets happen outside World Online as well. Don't think that this place is the first to have a VRMMORPG format. This is only the best, not the first." Jake said.

"So you decided to spend some money on one of these things. I always thought it was a waste of money." Kierch nodded.

"You must have seen others use this thing. Only recently did a World Online version of it come out. Well, this can tell us who won the bet. Plain and simple." Jake smiled.

"Artificial intelligence outside got good enough for a simple device to do a simple task of tracking kills of three different people."

"So you are really taking this seriously, huh? To think that you would take the time to use one of these." Kierch shook his head and sighed.

"You've never heard of this? How did you think I got the confidence of asking you with so much on the stakes? Well, its not like I have a chance though. The goddamn wolf king set me back." Jake sighed as he tapped on the device.

[Number 3 .... Shadow King - 1159 Kills

Number 2 - Kierch - 1223 Kills

Number 3 - Myriad Arrows - 2133 Kills]

For a second, Jake froze. He knew the numbers were going to be crazy, but this, he didn't expect.

"Well, he was going to make a name for himself before the expedition, so maybe that is why no one talked about Myriad Arrows that much when he went berserk in the expedition." Jake postulated.

"I lost?" Kierch froze.

"And even with a ten minute gap, I was only fifty more kills than you?" He muttered

"Looks like you didn't win, and were close to coming third place almost. Well then, a bet is a bet. You can ask one of us whatever you want. So then, I guess I am going to have to part with some cash to get my vice guild master a nice equipment upgrade?" Jake smiled as he prepared himself for the inevitable.

"Don't worry. I am not going to ask you for something like that yet. I don't need a better bow. And I owe you enough. The bet's parameters were simple, weren't they? Kierch should spend more time with the guild." Myriad Arrows smiled.

Jake hesitated for a moment.

He glanced at Myriad Arrows, to make sure he wasn't joking. But he wasn't.

"I swear, this feels like a scam to get me." Kierch shook his head.

"But I saw this one fight, and I know that you battling the wolf king was the reason you lost this bet in the first place, and I was never supposed to win in the first place."

"You can alter the contract. I will spend more time grinding with the guild and whatever." Kierch sighed and said.

"Wonderful. We can get all of the particulars sorted out later. For now though, I am way too focused on what is in our hands right now." Jake nodded as he glanced back at Myriad Arrows.

His eyes were filled with gratitude. He didn't expect Myriad Arrows to make a sacrifice like this for the guild. It was his hard fought win, and he used the bet for the guild itself.

"Trust me, I care more about this guild than you would think." Myriad Arrows nodded, smiling.

Jake nodded as he looked at the frontlines.

This was where the wolves were supposed to be. But while they were talking with each other, discussing what was the outcome of the bet, the wolves had slowly and silently retreated.

Without a leader, it was a wonder how they were able to do it with such ease and precision.

"I should go discuss out next steps with the other guild masters." Jake nodded.

"You should. What just happened, well, it was ground breaking. And even though they said the fifth checkpoint, and it is supposed to be a long time away, still, a beast like that is way too terrifying to even think about." Myriad Arrows shuddered.

"We will have to figure out what we will do about the first checkpoint first. That is what is most important. One checkpoint after the other. If we go forward without a plan, then forget getting to the fifth checkpoint to face that giant. We won't even cross this one." Jake said.

"Whatever. Its not like I am stopping you." Myriad Arrows said as he turned around, glancing at the players.

Everyone was unsettled, except a few brave ones, and a few stupid ones.

Jake nodded as he looked at the center of the army.

The other guild leaders already had the vision and the understanding to go to the center. The only one who wasn't there was Jake.

Smiling, Jake strolled over. As he walked toward the three guild masters, all of them glared at him with eyes of irritation.

"What are you doing there? We have such an important issue at hand, and you are talking to your subordinates? What are you even talking about, for it to be so important to keep this off." Lone Wolf asked.

"What I talk with my subordinates happens to be none of your business. Not to mean any offense, of course. But it is just a bit private." Jake smiled as he responded.

"And as for what you guys are all worried about, you saw the message in the screen didn't you? It is waiting for us. In the fifth checkpoint. And last we checked, we aren't in the fifth checkpoint. I think we are in the first?" Jake mockingly said.

"Do you think this is a joke? And how is it that none of us heard about the world giant?" Lone Wolf said.

"Because we are the first guilds to meet this world giant. Either we are truly lucky, or we are in for a hell of a ride."
