“Yes, Commander.

I was far away from the guild, in the middle of an arduous journey, when I was forced to sacrifice my parasite. Fortunately, the sacrifice helped me achieve my goals and survive. I just didn’t expect someone at Armhands to use it as an excuse to delete my data.

It hasn’t even been 10 years since it happened, but my data has been erased, and now I’m supposed to lose everything I’ve done for the guild”. Minos presented his case to the man, hoping the Commander could help him. Minos wasn’t doing this out of naivete. Surely this giant at the 12th stage wouldn’t help him out of pity. He had his value as a member of the sect. He had already carried out a tough mission, and he had information to give this man that could certainly make a difference to the guild’s plans.

That’s the reason the giant in front of Minos didn’t expel these humans when he heard the young man’s complaint.

The Commander snapped his fingers and a level 114 General quickly appeared at his side.

“Commander.”

“General, are his complaints true?” He asked without looking at his level 114 subordinate.

This General had been in charge of Minos’ superiors before, someone who had even taken part in a part of the Black Heart mission by escorting Minos’ group back from The Obsidian Shore.

Looking at Minos, he said. “Yes, the Records Hall considered Officer Stuart dead and completed his registration months ago.

According to those in charge, the Officer had either died or had abandoned his duties for whatever reason. Even if he were alive, his record should be erased as punishment for his disappearance.”

“Commander, I left a warning before I left the guild. I warned it I would be gone for a long time and it was possible that I would have to use my parasite at some point.” Minos argued. “Couldn’t they have waited a few more years to erase my record? Like I said, it hasn’t even been 10 years since I sacrificed my parasite.”

The General replied in the Commander’s place. “I understand your frustration, Officer, but this is within the rules of the guild.

You might have been lucky it went unnoticed, and you could have returned before anything happened. But someone saw your case and applied the rules. You shouldn’t complain now. After all, it’s your responsibility to prove your life to us”.

The Commander looked at Minos in anticipation of the boy’s next line. ‘He was a Law Enforcer back then… I wonder what he has to defend himself with now that the law is against him.’

Minos clenched his fists, seeing there would be no justice for his group. “Then I’d at least like to have my role as a Junior Officer reinstated. It would be a waste of my strength to become a Recruit. If the Commander thinks I should be punished, then I would like to pay for my mistake with compulsory missions.”

The General looked at the Commander. The law stipulated Minos and the others would have to become Recruits again to pay for their mistake. But he could sense the immense potential of these six individuals and agreed it would be a waste to keep them as Recruits.

The Commander could see the same and felt exactly how strong Minos already was. ‘He can certainly handle some problematic missions that no one wants. At the level he’s at, he could even be a Senior Officer, so it would be a waste to keep him as a Recruit.’

“Before I decide, tell me about the update you have on the Black Heart mission.” The giant said, leaving the group of six waiting for his decision.

Minos didn’t hesitate and said. “After returning from the Ganaway Refuge, my group and I encountered the former young master of Silverdawn.”

“How is that possible? He died decades ago!” The General who had helped Minos and his party leave The Obsidian Shore approached the human with a worried expression.

“I don’t know exactly what happened, but I believe his former subordinate devoured him after he died. When that and the black liquid were combined, something incredible happened, and a new being was formed, one that had the characteristics and even the aura of both of them.

One of them was level 108, and the other was level 110 back then, but I came across a level 112 creature in the far north of Oqia!

Fortunately, with the help of my party, I could kill it.” Minos showed a spatial ring in one of his hands before the Commander took the item and checked what was inside.

When he felt the body of the creature and a small amount of the black liquid that was so valuable to the guild, the Commander’s eyes lit up with interest.

“So, this is what you have for me?” He asked Minos with a smile.

“There is something else, Commander.”

“Oh? Tell me about it. I’ll help you get back some of what was yours.” The Commander decided to help Minos and his group.

Minos sighed with relief and said. “I left the guild for a good reason. I went to save my family and bring some of them back to Armhands. In particular, one of my wives, Abby, has a special necromantic power. After seeing this guy in the spatial ring I gave you, she realized she can use the black liquid on the dead she can revive.

We don’t know exactly what will happen if we test this, but it might be interesting for the guild to test it. I don’t know what the elders and the Commander have in mind, but I believe her powers are in line with some of your interests.” Minos already had a good idea of what the guild might want with the things related to the Black Heart mission, so he believed Abby would be of great value to the guild.

He had already planned to introduce her to the higher echelons of the guild in the future, but the current problems forced him to move things up a bit.

The Commander’s eyes narrowed as he silently pondered the man’s words.

“Where is such a woman now?”

“She’s taking the entrance exam to join the guild, Commander.” Minos replied promptly.
