Transmigrated as a Ghost

Marcus sighed since he was going to have to deal with adventures guild again.

As much as he liked the opportunities it had once given him in the past, at this point he was not really in need of their services.

He could make far more money now with his forge skill and the connections he had made through the Blazegram forge than he ever could as just a platinum ranked adventurer.

Also, he was pretty intertwined with the kingdom of Borealia, so he was not wanting to become beholden to any other organizations.

“Well, I will just turn down any promotions that they offer me. It is not like I have actually done any work as an adventurer in well over a year.”_.

Shrugging her shoulders, Mrazivý said, “You are free to do as you want Marcus. If you go deeper into the guild’s hierarchy, I will follow you. And if you do not, I am fine staying here in the kingdom. But they seem really persistent so I am not sure what they might offer you to get you onboard. Of course, part of their reason to bring you in is because of Roxene. They heard you have a mythic grade beast as your companion which is obviously extraordinary and makes you quite valuable from their perspective.”

Going into it the two of them further discussed what the adventurers guild might do, and planned accordingly for certain situations that might arise.

“Still, what are they even doing getting involved here? They did not actually help at all.” Marcus said with an exasperated expression.

“Ah, that is right, you have not been informed yet about what was happening here. You know while you were fighting, I was organizing the reinforcements from the guild here in the capital, and I can tell you that they were gathering quite the force to offer their assistance. If the fighting had lasted another week, you could have expected around a hundred people over level seventy-five to come to your assistance, with them being led by one of the top brasses of the guild who is level ninety from what I have heard.”

Hearing this Marcus’ eyes went wide with surprise, since he had not expected that such a force would have been gathered.

With that many high-level combatants at their disposal, it really sunk in to just how powerful an organization the adventurers guild really was.

“It is only natural that they are invested in the situation after amassing that much power to fight a doomsday monster, especially when the last one that appeared around four hundred years ago nearly destroyed an entire continent. They are planning to do their own investigations into the matter and see if they cannot figure out some sort of pattern for their appearances.”

Frowning, Marcus thought back to the what the administrator had told him.

“I do not think they are going to find out any sort of pattern. I have not told anyone this yet, but after I activated my revival skill it took me to this endless white space and the administrator was there waiting for me.”

Marcus then told Mrazivý all about his conversation with the being that ruled over this world, and how the doomsday monsters were set up in advance to push the world to its knees in order to promote advancement.

“I am not exactly sure what she is going to do, but I can guess that it will shake the foundations of the world and force everyone to get stronger or die.” Marcus said with a downcast expression.

He could only imagine what sort of horrors the uncaring administrator might throw upon the world.

However, for Mrazivý, she just clenched her fists and with a confident expression said, “Then we just have to get stronger right. That has been what we have been working towards from the start so that we could see what this world has to offer and go on a real adventure.”

Seeing Mrazivý so filled with determination, Marcus smiled, and said, “I suppose we will need to try our hand at the special dungeon again sometime then. If we want to get stronger, I can think of no better place.”

Agreeing with Marcus, Mrazivý said that it would be a good idea for them to get everyone together again, likely during the next summer and enter the special dungeon once again.

“Now there is something else that we need to talk about that is pretty important. While you were busy helping out in Loursend, it was decided that we would finally be able to go public with our engagement towards the end of spring, so we are going to be have our engagement party then.”

Hearing this Marcus blinked rapidly a few times as he tried to process what Mrazivý had just said.

And when he finally did, he said, “Wait, what? I have not heard anything about this!”

Panic began to set in as he thought about all of the work he was going to have to do, and how little time they had to get a party of that scale set up.

“Oh, and now that I am thinking about it. Do you not have something of mine that you need to give back?” Mrazivý said as she held out her left hand.

This brought Marcus back to his senses, and he quickly took the amethros ring off and slipped it back onto Mrazivý’s finger where it belonged.

“Sorry about that. I know I said I would try my best not to take it back again so soon, but this time it really was necessary.” Marcus said.

Giggling a bit, Mrazivý said in response, “There is no need to worry. I know how desperate the situation was. In fact, I was a little worried that you had not called it back sooner since you were fighting something many levels higher than you. Oh, and you do not need to worry much about the engagement party. Other than us picking out a few things, everything will be handled for us. So really, we just have to show up to make the public announcement.”
