Skill Creation in the Fantasy World

"Dark Guilds!?"

Felix raised his voice at the mention of that, as he knew that the people who had kidnapped his body's previous soul were related to the same group.

Mr.Dealer nodded and appeared a bit surprised to get such a reaction from the boy.

"Yes, the dark guilds. And it seems you know something about them."

Felix slightly frowned and remained silent, afraid of giving away any information relating to his past.

Mr.Dealer didn't mind that as he always respected other's privacy and instead continued what he was saying.

"The people I want you to fight are the underlings of the members of the dark guilds. If they were participating purely in the battles for the sake of fighting and earning resources, then I wouldn't have cared about them."

"But they have other intentions..."

Mr.Dealer's voice took a sudden drop as a dark look etched on his face.

About now, Felix had already made up his mind to investigate those underlings of the dark guilds, so as to get some information on the people who had made him a slave, but still, he was curious about their intentions for joining in the battles so he couldn't help but ask back.

"So what are their true intentions?"

Mr.Dealer released a short breath and replied while narrowing his eyes.

"The dark guilds want to take over the underworld....."

"What?!", Felix opened his mouth wide not wanting to believe such a thing.

If the dark guilds took over the underworld, then he wouldn't have a place to train and battle and also buy the goods of the black market.

Because they were the ones who had kidnapped him to use as a sacrifice in some blood rituals, and if they found out that he was still alive then he wouldn't be confident to save himself from them.

He had guessed that, as even the normal guilds refused to directly fight against the dark guilds then they must be about the same in power, and that would make it more dangerous to him unless he grew stronger.

Mr.Dealer's face turned darker as he revealed their final intention.

"And after they take over the underworld, they would turn their eyes on this whole city...."

Felix took a gulp and considered the consequences of that.

'What the fuck! If they take over the whole city, then where will I go?'

As he didn't want to believe such a future, Felix countered anxiously.

"B-But how will they possibly do that? Isn't there so many guilds in Edenmont City? The nobles and the duke too? There's no way the dark guilds can defeat all of them."

Mr.Dealer had a mocking smile at the mention of all those people as he shook his head.

"You're wrong, Felix. Not all of them are against the dark guilds."

"You mean that...they too....", Felix slumped back on the chair finally making sense of the situation and he felt speechless at the fact that reality was from anything it appeared to be.

Mr.Dealer remained silent to give the boy some time to to process all the new information, and a few minutes later Felix voiced out.

"Sigh...fuck this shit. Anyways, what kind of plan do you have and what's my purpose in it?"

Mr.Dealer nodded and elaborated about what he had planned.

"As I've said before, many underlings of the dark guilds are starting to participate in the underground arena battle, most of them being at the rank zero as the stronger men are stationed at other posts for their duties."

"Their purpose of joining the arenas is to make a name for themselves and then poach off most of the unaware people into their organization while slowly integrating into the underworld, and at last taking whole control over it with their entire power."

"Also, this was something I had come up with, taking into account their way of actions from the past so I'm not completely sure if that's what they'll be doing."

Mr.Dealer empathized with those words as there could be anything happening and they should not be underestimating them.

Seeing Felix listening to him attentively, he finally arrived at the topic of the deal between them.

"And after watching your battles, I knew that you would be of great help to us. That's why I want you to fight for me."

As Felix was about to go into deep analyzing mode to think about the whole situation and make his choice, Mr.Dealer said with a small smile on his lips.

"And of course, I won't be making you fight for nothing."

"You'll be getting three times the amount of reward you get from any ordinary battle if you battle with them."

"Including receiving discounts at many stalls and shops in the underworld that have our influence, lastly, you'll also be rewarded with an exclusive membership at most of the facilities present here."

Felix raised his eyebrows at the generous rewards especially considering he was just a rank zero warrior and didn't think anymore before instantly making his choice.

Standing up with a smile, he reached out his hand and held it out before Mr.Dealer.

"Well, I don't think I'll be able to refuse such exciting rewards."

'And deal with my unwanted enemies at the same time.'

Mr.Dealer also stood up with determination in his eyes and reached out to shake hands with Felix.

"It's good to have you on board, Felix. I think you're tired for today, so why don't we continue discussing our plan tomorrow, I'll also show you our team and who you'll be fighting against then."

Felix nodded feeling the exhaustion that was coming up to him and decided to go back for today.

Suddenly he remembered something and quickly asked the man in front of him.

"Wait-! What's the time right now?!", there was a slight panic in his voice.

Mr.Dealer tilted his head and took out his silver pocketwatch, before telling him the time.

"There's 20 minutes until it hits 6 pm."

Felix's eyes widened in absolute shock as he instantly calculated how he had spent such a large amount of time.

'What the hell! I left the guild at 5 in the morning and it's already going to be dark now?', he screamed in his head.

Quickly letting go of Mr.Dealer's hand that they were strangely still holding, Felix started moving out of the room.

"Sorry Mr.Dealer, I'm in a hurry so I'll be going now. Meet you later!", he waved his hands and walked out of the room as the man remained standing in his spot.

Mr.Dealer was confused for a few seconds before muttering.

"Oh! I forgot that guy had made a curfew for his guild. Don't know what goes inside his head."

He grinned as he remembered his old memories, but then shook his head and walked out of the room too before ordering the man in the gray robe.

"Escort that boy to the surface through the underground tunnels and hide any traces of him ever being here."

The gray-robed man nodded without uttering a word before accompanying Felix who was walking down the stairs out of the house.

Mr.Dealer watched intently as they both walked out and turned back toward the room while taking heavy steps.

"Now, all that's left is to....."

He paused and narrowed his eyes as a sharp glean flashed through them.

"..slowly take out every single one of those motherfuckers!"
