The guilds in the Central Continent

The guilds in the Central Continent were starting to use cutthroat information warfare.
They were looking up about the Scorpion King while also finding a way to lower the temperature around the continent.
Wizard or Sage, Nobles meet in the library presenting legend and myth from old books.
Then in the Barbarian's village a hint was found.
“In the continents North Edereun village disappeared. That in the village’s altar a legend was passed down by the devoted saying that the heat would disappear. More contents from Edereun were reported in the investigation to me”
Edereun village disappeared!
Historical records states that it is located somewhere in the Kingdom of Kaldeath.
In the Northern parts of Kaldeath Kingdom, the land was literally frozen for a long period of time. Edereun and several other villages were not listed on the map.
“I already knew that.”
For the leaders of each guild, a goal appeared.
Go to the coldest part of the continent and seek the Edereun village!
If any other guild was able to solve the quest that led to the Crimson Wing Guild’s collapse, they will be able to gain more prestige.
On top of that, they had other plans as well.
‘We take advantage of this opportunity, and can be the first pioneers of the north.’
The plentiful quests in the north. If you can obtain them and secure the hunting grounds, it would greatly increase the prestige of our guild.
‘There are many quests in the North. We can occupy the hunting grounds and expand the influence of our guild.’
‘A great opportunity to expand our guild!’
The guilds in the Central Continent have been fighting over the ownership of the land.
There are problems when occupying castles and fortresses, and even minor hunting grounds!
But you could change the balance of power by exploring the north.
Some guild leaders announced their guilds would go on an expedition to the North, without forcing those who don't want to go. It was a tolerable risk for their guild to venture to the North.
The Era of Pioneering the North is about to start.
***
The Dark Gamer’s Tavern.
A number of high-level users were commissioned by the Crimson Wing Guild to participate in the failed quest. They were in recession for a while, but now they were active again.
Various guilds came to look for them to commission them on an expedition to the North.
Being a high-level user does not guarantee they will be an asset in battle. They should have experience and be able to exert the best of their abilities.
In any kind of battle, Dark Gamers knew how to use their abilities to survive tenaciously. At the same time, they bring out a sense of responsibility and competitiveness from other guild recruits.
“Do as I say!. Don’t go to places you are not told to go to.”
Keuu. I thought it’d be ok.
“I died vain on a high level quest, and because of that people hate me.”
“Ok, I get it so stop.”
At the end of the day, Volk couldn’t bear listening to his wife.
Many others lost their lives following the Crimson Wing Guild on their A rank quest!
It was very bad venture for them, not only did they lost two levels, but they also lost skill proficiency.
The Dark Gamers Union had suffered significant damage to their reputation from the event.
However, as an excuse, Volk said.
“Regardless, we’ve made money from it. So far we’ve made a total of 110,000 gold.”
“It’s not that much compared to the value of your life. It hurts me to think you’ve died.”
“You...!”
Volk’s eyes were filled with sudden emotions.
“I also feel the same way about you.”
“Sweetheart.”
Volk held her hands affectionately. A thought struck Darelyn and she asked.
“Surely, you didn’t lose any equipment, did you?”
“Of course not. I wore some cheap equipment purchased from a shop. The place seemed dangerous, so I took precautions.”
“You did well.”
Dark Gamers would always obtain additional equipment and wear them if they find they are likely to die during the quest. They only wear items that they wouldn't mind losing.
It was obvious that to a Dark Gamer, their equipment are treated as their second body.
Volk and Darelyn were resting, when a man approached them.
“I have a commission. Will you hear me out?”
Volk nodded at the man politely.
“We would listen. But once you tell us about it, we’ll decide whether or not to accept it.”
“Well of course. I come from the Cold Roses Guild. Our guild is taking this opportunity to explore the Northern Continent. The level requirements is 320 or higher. The salary is 40,000 gold.”
“The salary is rather generous.”
A man shouldn’t complain.
“Yes. The current fee for Dark Gamers have risen recently. If we find any important quests in the town of Edereun or any other town, additional money will be compensated.”
“I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but the Cold Roses Guild are able to lead an expedition without additional help, right?”
The Cold Roses guild was a mid-size guild who ranked in the top 40s in the middle continent. They owned 4 forts, but they were located in remote areas.
Furthermore, there was a kind-hearted Dwarven Warrior who was the head of the guild called Oberon, it was a decent middle-ranked guild.
Although Volk had his concerns, he accepted the man’s request.
"Of course it's not just us. The guild's alliance, and some of the people of the general public are going as well. It is the first time that the Northern Continent is being explored, so we have to move faster and work faster than others to gather information."
“Then i guess there will be a large amount of people.”
"That's right. We want to take this opportunity to explore the Northern towns and Kingdoms. In the North, there are still a lot of places left unexplored. Would you like to participate?"
Darelyn poked Volk in the side.
The conditions weren’t all that bad.
Dark Gamers lived very prejudiced lives. In fact if they travelled alone, they will go to more dangerous areas.
To get there first, they had to venture ahead ambitiously and take lots of risks.
Pioneers of the Northern continent!
New hunting grounds and quests were not enough to satisfy their desire.
Volk and Darelyn accepted his request.
