Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

It was the words that Shin just sent at my private chat. I didn't know how to reply to him. He understood my confusion so he went to the public team chat and asked the same question.

In seconds all of the teammates replied with the same line of strange numbers. When I asked them about these numbers they told me these were known as coordinates.

I learned from them that each place here in the game has its own location marked by these numbers. I can get these numbers easily by opening the game map.

When I tried to look at this map I found a huge dark area with a small lightened area that was like a tiny dot. I tried to enlarge it and focus on my area to find that I really can.

When I enlarged it to the level I could see the map of this novice village, I found many areas enlightened and many more in the dark.

When I focused on it I figured out everything. The places I visited before were in light, while the places I didn't go were still in the dark.

That was a fascinating tool. I can use it to move from place to place. If it could provide me with terrain info then I can use it in my future wars.

When I tried to enlarge it more I failed. It seemed I could only enlarge it to this degree only. On the map, my place was marked by a golden star and under it were many numbers.

They were the same numbers as those sent in the chat. I found that Shin was really near us as his place was marked by green stars just like the five green stars that are next to me.

Then would my enemies be in red color then?

We waited at our place for nearly ten minutes until Shin appeared. When he reached us he asked:

"How was your leveling journey?"

I didn't comment and waited for the others to reply to him. As a leader you need to know what your subordinated thoughts about you.

That may tell you in general if you were teaching them right and they got the reasons behind what you were doing with them.

If they didn't realize yet the benefit of your strict training then you need to change your approach. They didn't disappoint my expectations as Goda said:

"We learned a lot from Agatha. We killed nearly 20 Elite monsters. That is awesome."

Shin showed a satisfied smile on his face. That was rare. That was sudden. Was he sick?

"Good. Now come here and take these silver coins. Each one of you will get one silver coin. If you do a good job in the future, you will be supplied by more than that."

This was only one silver coin per player. I knew Shin had got much more than that. I was astonished by the reaction of those players as they were shocked at first then they rushed to Shin to take the coins fearing he would return in his offer.

That was just one single silver coin. Raise your standard folks.

"Now you have only one mission. You go back and resupply your Inventory.

Don't forget to buy bread and other foodstuff. We will hang here for a very long time."

"We will go and be back soon."

"Thanks for your support."

"I won't let you down."

So many words scattered from them as they were really grateful to Shin's gesture. I didn't bother with them as I watched them leave in a hurry towards the village.

Once they escaped my field of vision I looked at Shin seriously and threw the biggest issue I had directly on his face:

"I want to know your deep troubles. What happened? Why were you marked by these aristocratic families?"

Shin looked at me with the same serious look and then asked:

"If I asked you to tell me about your secret, would you agree?"

I replied without pause:

"Absolutely."

"Why?"

I neared him till my face was about to touch him. He was really handsome. I discovered that his eyes were unique. They had a mix of colors in them.

There was like a faint rainbow around his pupils. That was strange. It was my first time noticing this. Was it because it was the first time I got near him?

I looked deeply in his eyes and said very slowly:contemporary romance

"Because I trust you."

"But you know nothing about me."

"I trust my instincts. You are a very nice person, cool swordsman. That's why I feel like you are in the same predicament as me.

You were forced to be in this position that you didn't choose and couldn't change,"

He looked back at me then he sighed. At this moment I didn't see the vitality of a youth but saw the tiredness of an old man.

That was strange… and beautiful. I didn't know why but I felt attached to him more than before. That mature man I wanted to be with.

"If I told you the truth, will you accept it and believe in me?"

"Of course."

"Even if it was a crazy story with a very difficult truth to accept?"

I clenched my fist and pumped it onto my chest as I said:

"I swear I wouldn't suspect the reality of your truth."

He sighed again. This time I felt his hesitation and regret.

I didn't know why he was regretting or hesitating. I never went back on my oath. Not even once!

"The truth is very complicated. But first let me tell you a story. There was a young ambitious man who dreamt since he was a child of building his own empire.

His dream was very insane and no one believed him especially he was just a crown prince of a small kingdom. This boy grew up to be a fine heroic man.

Although he went on various war campaigns and earned a lot of victories by his hard work, he wasn't happy. He made a crucial mistake while he was young.

He lost a very decisive battle in the first years of his reign. He regretted his rashness and kept dreaming of changing his history.

Somehow he managed to gain a unique ability. This ability wasn't just about going back in time, but it was to separate s time period from the long flow of time.

This period will create a closed-loop. Before he entered this special time zone he had to put a target to himself to achieve.

He put the target to emerge victorious against this great kingdom in that crucial defeat. This ability gained him the power to be able to change his destiny.

The only requirement was for him to end this time zone achieving his goal. He was very happy and felt it was very easy like a walk in his palace backyard garden.

He knew the events that happened before and knew his mistakes. He wanted to correct these mistakes to put things on the right track.

What he didn't imagine was that he wasn't fighting that kingdom's armies but he was fighting destiny itself. Every time he corrected something, other new things emerged to fail his plans.

Every time he failed he would die and restart the same time zone again. If he died in the middle of this time zone he would restart it again.

This cycle kept going and going like forever. This middle-aged man's fire of ambition was dimmed by the passage of time.

He tried his best many times with no success. In the end he made a deal with some unknown power. He knew that it was the same power that granted him his curse.

He knew he fell to their scheme, but he got nothing in his hands to do. Even his death didn't solve his crisis. He was devastated, depressed, and very frustrated.

The new deal was to help him pass this time loop and achieve his victory but on one condition. Every one thousand year one of his descendants must do the same as he did.

He must choose an incident he wanted to change its course. He must enter his own time loop and live in torture there forever.

It was a very harsh agreement but he accepted it. This man exited this time loop and continued his life from this new time course.

He then achieved his dream and managed to establish an empire. From there till now, every one thousand years one of his direct descendants became cursed and created his own time loop. What do you think of this story?"
