The clouds were still dark.
Thunder! Thunder!
The sky roared drastically.
Raining pouring hard on the surface.
Endless asks the woman if there is any place in town where he can rest.
Clara was thinking of a place for a moment, then brightened slightly. "There's an place old inn near the market square. It's not fancy, but it's safe." She starts walking, gesturing for him to follow.
***
[Medieval ages in 1400]
Now, it's 1432.
Back at the old inn.
The morning sun filters through her the small window of Clara modest room.
She stirs in her sleep.
Endless stands by the window, his tall figure casting a long shadow across the bed. His eyes remain on Clara peaceful form.
Mmm...
She stirs again, this time opening her eyes slowly. She noticed Endless watching her and sitting up abruptly.
She rubs her eyes, yawning.
"Good morning..." she says hesitantly, feeling slightly self-conscious under his gaze.
He asked her about any information in this place.
The endless asks, "Is there any guild around this place?"
Clara stretches and swings her legs over the side of the bed, "Guilds? There are several - the merchants guild, the blacksmiths' guild..." she runs her fingers her messy hair.
Endless said, "Is there more?"
She nods, more alert now.
"Well... there're way too many. Which specific guild are you looking...?" She asks.
Endless said, "A guild that doesn't draw attention to themselves or causing unnecessary problems."
Clara could not think of one that matched.
Hmhp...
She asked once again.
"Are there any more clues about which guild you are looking for." She still trying to figure out which guild he's looking for.
Endless then said,"A lower guild. The lowest of them all."
Clara then thought of it.
"I guess... you're looking for a chameleon guild. They're located in the Westside district, near the old sewer entrance. They're mostly known for their mediocrity and constant complaints about their rank." She said.
Endless said, "I'll take it."
She raises her eyebrow skeptically.
"You want to join the chameleon guild? But their so... ordinary." She stands up, smoothing her rumble clothes.
"Are you sure?" She asks once again to make sure.
Endless didn't hesitate.
Clara sighs...
She was a little bit disappointed.
"Ok..." her casual tone.
She thought he would change his mind.
"But, you need to reveal yourself first. You can't wear that and be mysterious. The chameleon guild doesn't allow just anyone."
She finally gets to see who saves her. She has been curious about who the figure was.
Endless slowly removed his robe, revealing his featureless white humanoid figure.
She was shocked.
"Whaa! You're not human," her voice felt surprised by his humanoid figure.
She slowly backs away.
The endless notice of her facial expression was slightly frightened. He said, "If you wish, I could change to something else." His tone filled with calmness.
Clara was little taken aback by his sudden change of his tone. But she is still cautious around him.
She didn't say anything but nods.
Endless shape-shift right in front of her.
He was now a handsome guy.
He was now wearing regular clothes like all pheasant wears. His hair was now filled with silver color. His eyes were pure brown. His skin was smooth, and his physique was pumped, showing his muscles.
Clara was amazed how he looked, "whaa.." her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were winded by the unexpected change.
Now she wasn't frightened.
Was a little bit blushed by his sudden cute change. She was into him and never cautious like before.
She walks towards him, "Mmm... you didn't tell me you could change. Can you change to any men?" Her seductive tone. While sliding her hands on his chest.
The endless was a little bit nervous by her sudden cautious shifting boldly touching him without his consent.
The endless says, "Can you please don't get close to me," his tone feels nervous.
She giggles.
"Oh my... I did not know you had a soft spot." Her tone filled with playful.
She deliberately shows her enormous bust on his chest.
Endless grabbed both of her shoulders, slowly guiding her on the side.
"Please... focus," his tone filled with nervous and annoyed.
She even shows and touches her bust playfully.
"What's wrong? Did I make you feel uncomfortable?" She knew what she was doing. She was teasing him, showing off her bouncing bust.
However, endless, look away.
"Let's go..."
***
[Chameleon guild]
Both were standing outside yet to go in.
The guild looks like an old broken place. The place appears to be run-down and neglected, with peeling paint and broken woods.
Squeak squeak!
The rats were even roaming around the place.
Clara said, "I'll ask again. Do you really want to join this deadbeat place?"
She was literally concerned about the place. Mice is crawling all over the ground.
Then, a sudden riot noise coming inside the guild.
Swoosh...
They both walked in and opened the door quickly.
The entire place was literally an old broken place. The table was glued back together, and the ceiling was dripping water from the pipeline. The floor was tons of cracks and ants being coming in and out of the crack.
Constant chatting.
Man was drinking beer while grinding like maniac. Few drunk members can be seen stumbling around inside.
The women were serving the beers. A few adventures were talkative.
Poo! (Fart)
The air filled with an unpleasant odor.
"Eehwww!" The man jumped by the sudden sound. His expression shows disgust.
He covered his nose from unbelievable stench.
The fat guy with imitating facial expression was amused. He deliberately released that gas on purpose.
"What the fuck looking at. Did you smell something funny?" His tone filled with mischief.
The guy that was talking all big was densiel.
His status was E-rank. He was adventurer with a lousy reputation, and his class is warrior.
The man got angry, "Fuck yeah! It smells like shit!" Covered his nose.
The guy that was holding his nose was Leo.
Leo Rank is also E-rank, and he was also adventurer. His class is a knight.
Densiel says, "Than you should probably shower then? Why are you telling me that you smell like shit." His tone filled with mocked.
Leo got angry more.
"The fuck you mean! I smell!" He yelled with anger voice.
Densiel once again deliberately mocks him.
"What... you said. You smell like shit, so I'm giving you advice by taking a bath. Trust me, it helps you out."
Densiel even smirks by giving him a thumps up.
Leo clenched his fist, "That's it! Aaaaah!"
He jumped at desiel and attacked him.
Both started to fight it off.
The fight breaks out instantly, with punches and kicks flying between two men. They roll around the dirty ground, causing more chaos.
One of the tables broke, and the adventure beers dropped and shattered all over the ground. Wasted their drinks.
The adventures were now angry at the two troubled makers.
"Fuck this..!"
"Come here!"
"You little! Aaaaah!"
Another fight broke out.
A few adventures were laughing at them.
"Already... haha."
"It's Densiel bullshit again."
"He had it coming... haha."
While everyone was enjoying the fighting scene.
Both endless and Clara went to the counter.
A beautiful woman in her 40s was wearing a guild uniform. She was poorly dressed, but her enormous bust was noticeable. It kept bouncing whenever she moved.
The receptionist women look up from the counter as they approach, her tired eyes lighting up slightly at the sight of potential customers.
The receptionist greets them with a smile.
"Welcome to the chameleon guild. How may I help you?" She says in a bored tone, adjusting her uniform.
Endless reply nicely, "We like to join this guild." His tone was formal.
Clara still felt unease about this place. It gives her the creeps.
When the receptionist heard that.
She instantly smiles.
She leans forward, her smile growing wide and more predatory.
"Of course! We're always looking for new members." She glances at Clara with a knowing smirk.
Clara whispered to endless, "Something feels off about this..."
The receptionist pulls out a dusty application form and a quill.
The receptionist chuckles.
"Just sign and fill this out, and you'll be official members." Her eyes deceive them by showing off her seductive pose.
The guild was of need of new recruits. She knew the place was already rotten, old, and barely have any decent status. The guild was the lowest among other guilds.
This guild was famous for one reason.
It was that the guild was at they last draw.
Clara grabbed his robe, warning him that it might be a trap. Endless, however, did not bother by it.
The reception notices Clara facial expressions. Like she was hesitating about joining.
She bits her lip, nervously, thinking about the guild situation.
"Just sign here..." she tabs the paper impatiently, her confidence wavering slightly.
Endless sign it.
The receptionist takes the sign form, her smile becoming strains, and she reads it.
"Welcome to the chameleon guild... endless."
She says his name with a hint of hesitation, realizing he might be gullible as she thought.
Clara signs it as well.
She takes Clara's signature, too. Her heartbeat was racing.
"You'll start with the usual duties - cleaning the guild hall, helping with quest and..." she pauses, looking at Clara enormous chest that matches hers. "Perhaps some special assignment."
Clara instantly got chills.
The receptionist women notice Clara discomfort and grins maliciously.
"Don't worry. We'll take good care of you here." She winks suggestively.
Then she forgot to mark them using the guild symbol.
Without it, they won't go on quest or other work activities.
"Oh, yeah. How could I forget?"
The receptionist realized her mistakes were too late and curses under breath. She didn't brand them with the mark of the guild symbol. The guild symbol is mandatory for all members to show their affiliation and receive tasks.
"I need to mark you with the guild symbol," she says while reaching under the counter for a small, glowing branding Iron.
She holds up the iron, shape like a chameleon.
The metal was hot and glowing with magical energy.
"This won't hurt at all..."
She approached Clara first, aiming for her wrist.
Before she marks her, she asks what color she wants.
"Which color do you prefer?" Her voice filled with sweetness.
Clara replied, "Oh, well. Dark green."
She nods and presses the iron against Clara wrist, leaving a green mark of the chameleon guild symbol.
"Excellent choice."
She turns her attention to endless, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Your turn, big guy. Where do you want it? And what color do you prefer?" her eyes lock on sight of him.
He opened his mouth, showing her his tongue.
"Right here, and it will be black." Endless said.
She looks at his tongue with a mix of fascinating and disgust.
"You're quite bold, ain't you?"
Then she touched the iron and pressed it on his tongue.
Pop.
The mark appears on his tongue, completely the guild branding.
She steps back, wiping her sweat from her brow.
"All done. You're officially marked as a member of the chameleon guild, endless." Her voice filled with satisfaction.
Endless then ask, "May I know your name, Mrs?" He asks polity.
The receptionist seems to be surprised by his politeness, but answer with a sly smile. She forgot to tell them her name.
She giggles.
"Silly me. Where're my manners. I'm Paulina Elara, but you can call me Paulina or Lina for short."
"Then I'll call you both. Since you have both beautiful names." He said with a formal tone.
Paulina blushes slightly, not expecting such a compliment.
"Thank you... I guess. Now go get acquainted with the rest of the members. They're probably in the common room—"
A sudden "BOOOOMMM!" (Explosion)
Coming from the common room.
It seems one of the members once again cause another chaos.
Paulina facepalms and groans.
"Oh, for the love of... those idiots are at it again." She mutters under her breath.
Boom! Boom!
More explosion in the guild.
Two young adventures were fighting.
"Haha... is that all you can do?" He mocks the other adventures.
The young male with the white hair holding a shield and sword. His name was Daniel Khalid, and he was in his 20s. His class was a tank, and he was still a D-rank.
And the women he was facing were not other than his rival.
"Tsk... than stop running and face me, " her voice filled with anger.
The woman is sitting on her magic broom floating on air. Her hair was long, smooth, and black. Her skin was white, and her eyes were greenish. She was wearing a dark witch tight outfit.
She was also a D-rank, and her class was a mage.
Her beautiful figure was astonished by everyone in the guild.
Her devious charm was enough to fool any man that glanced at her sight.
"Oh, look! It's Victoria."
"She looks beautiful as always,"
So many men were complimenting her while she cause so many damages.
Boom! Boom!
Clara said, "Well, at least we now know that this place is insane."
Endless saw the sight of the two.
"Mmm... so that how fantasy fights looks like," he was amused by the sight. In his past life from another world.
He always dream of being able to cast magic and fight with his opponent like in the Anime shows. Now he lives in the world filled with magic and other mythical beast.
