Is this really a Game?!

"Seeing the three of you together like this actually makes me reminisce about your fathers." Marco's boss said as he looked at Reign, Wolf, and Shadow who were all sitting right in front of him. The five of them were currently in the living room on the fourth floor while Greenie was outside, patrolling in case something was to happen.

"So you knew my father as well?" Asked Wolf as he stared at the man with slight vigilance.

"I wouldn't say I knew them, we were more of acquaintances, to be honest, I have sparred a couple of times with them and did some missions with members of their order though."

"Buy just look at me, where are my manners, I started talking without even introducing myself." The man said before standing up and looking at the three with a serious expression.

"My name is Carlo Valente, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Reign."

"Wolf"

"Shadow"

The three all stood up and answered the man as he gave them a weird bow. The fingers of his right hand were crossed together in a weird manner in front of his chest while the index finger of his left hand was pointing down on the floor.

"This was a customary bow for orders back then, well for the ones my order was a part of," Carlo said before sitting down.

"But I have to say, I'm not really even surprised that you guys got your true names already."

"Huh?" The three looked at him with a confused look as he simply chuckled.

"Well, it turns out not everyone got a true name, all the pioneers got it, and a couple of other people did, but most of us still have our original names, from what I was able to understand, true names have a high significance later on."

"That's weird, I could have sworn that everyone got a true name." Reign said as he tried to remember what the system had told him.

"The system likes to trick us a bit it seems, even though it said everyone had a new name, it turned out it only meant all the pioneers, well, I have given up on trying to understand the system, to be honest," Carlo said before sizing up the three.

"But truly, the aura each one of you has is incredibly similar to your fathers," Carlo said once again before continuing.

"Reign, calm and collected but ready to burst out fighting at any moment, Wolf as mysterious and observant as that father of yours, while you Shadow, you got the same good looks as your father."

"Hey, why am I the only one that has the looks!?"

"And the same hot-headedness." Carlo chuckled again as Shadow sat down embarrassedly.

"I have heard from Marco about your proposition, and honestly, it would be an honor to fight alongside the three of you," Carlo said suddenly as Reign raised an eyebrow.

"Just like that, you don't have any questions to ask, no apprehension or anything?"

"Nope, just like I said, the three of you are truly your respective father's children, for me, that's enough." Carlo shook his head before continuing.

"One thing that everyone knew about them was that they would never go back on their word, never schemed or anything like that, if they like you and offer something then that was it, there would be no hidden agendas there, if they didn't like you however then you were screwed."

"Hahahahahaha." Reign suddenly started laughing before calming down after a couple of seconds.

"That does sound like dad and uncle, they were quite forward huh?"

"Exactly, that was one of the reasons why they were so well-liked, next to the fact they were both incredibly powerful and talented," Carlo said with a smile on his face as he seemingly reminisced.

"You father, however." He suddenly pointed at Wolf.

"He was always at the back, always observing everyone and making notes in his head, for a long time everyone thought he was just some guy the two brought together with them cuz they liked him, it was only later when everyone found out how powerful he was."

"I still remember that day, one small-sized order actually tried teaming up with others in order to try and take over a couple of places that were run by them, after taking over one place and mercilessly killing everyone there, your dad personally went to them, in a mere 2 hours, there were only corpses left of the small-sized order that was actually a bit stronger than my own."

"The most shocking thing was the fact that nobody saw your dad even enter, he suddenly disappeared a couple of miles from their base, all of them died  the exact same way as well, a slit throat." Carlo stopped for a moment before continuing, "Every single one of them died with eyes wide open, in disbelief that they were dying, no signs of struggle could be seen and it was clear that none of them even noticed your dad before it was too late."

"That sounds like him alright." Wolf simply nodded at Carlo as Reign and Shadow glanced at him with a weird expression, Wolf had told them that his family was a bit special, but they didn't know that his father was an assassin, not to mention the fact that Wolf seemed to have known.

It was then that they remembered how good Wolf was with daggers, his weird movement, and fighting style, it all made sense now. Not only did Wolf know about his father's job, but he was also probably an assassin too. Perhaps that wasn't all, since Wolf has said that his family was a bit special, then perhaps they were all assassins.

The thought made Reign and Shadow look at Wolf a bit weirdly, but it only happened for a moment before they were back to normal, whatever the truth was, it didn't matter. They have been fighting side by side for a long time and they trusted Wolf wholeheartedly, what he did before the game didn't really matter to them.

"Well anyway, my safe zone currently has about 100 people, if we are going to transfer them all here then I need help, even though I have gone through the first evolution and can scare off pretty much any monster with my mana pressure alone, there's no telling what might happen, especially if 'that' group tries to do anything."

"I agree, that's why all three of us will be there." Reign suddenly said.

"Tell your people to wear cloaks, we will do it as well in order to fool the enemy into believing it's only you guys that are there, if they dare attack then we will make sure they will regret it."

"Greenie go with Loreno, we have promised him that he can bring his people here as well, it's been a couple of days since then so it's time for us to help him with that, if we're lucky then maybe more of our comrades will arrive till tomorrow so we will have even more people on our side, not that we really need that to be honest," Wolf said as Carlo nodded at him, the four continued talking a bit more, some of their conversations were about the orders and their fathers while the rest was about tomorrow and how they would transfer Carlo's people over to the territory.

There was always the option of making a portal there, and perhaps that would be for the best as they could move around more easily thanks to it, but Reign and the others wanted to use this opportunity to draw the enemy out and deliver a blow to them. Perhaps one might think that using so many people as bait was cold-hearted, but truth to be told, the chances of anyone dying when 4 Tier I fighters were present was close to zero.

Making a portal in the safe zone was also not easy to do, portals were after all a bit expensive to make and the materials needed weren't high in supply. Right now Reign had enough money and materials to make 3 more portals. If the safe zone where Carlo and the others were was good, then perhaps he might make one there in order to make hunting monsters easier for the others, not to mention moving around would become faster.

Marco was sitting next to Carlo the whole time, he simply stayed quiet and listened to their conversation. He was happy that everything was going so well, and with the help of Reign and the others, they were all bound to become more powerful in the future.

Not only was the town in a good position and had a plethora of high-level areas nearby, but it was also a huge territory where thousands could live without any issues. Being guarded by so many Tier I fighters also made it very easy for them to get over here without any casualties, as for those that would try to use this in order to attack them, they would definitely regret it after Reign and the others showed themselves.
