"Ahhh.. We're gonna meet the king later. Dress yourself nicely. Got it?"

Astrid nodded. "We will never make you look bad in front of anyone." 
Fay dressed herself up in a green dress. It suited her hair which was also green. Astrid wore a white dress. 

"I'll just disable my camouflage." Necros said as he deactivated it.
"Why are we meeting the King again?"
"We need to gain his trust. I need information on some stuff."
"Why don't we just force it out of him?" Fay asked.

"We'd just make enemies."
"But we're all the strongest in the world, aren't we?"

Necros thought about what she said. "The old man earlier told me there were other level 100s in this game, so i dont know about strongest."

Fay and Astrid took note of that and left the room with Necros. They walked to the castle and were  then escorted into it by a bunch of butlers.

"Our castle is bigger." Fay said arrogantly as she walked in the king's castle. "Yea. There's no gold pillars or anything in this castle either." Astrid added on.

Necros shrugged and continued following the butlers.

Before them, sat a young man, probably in his late 30s. "Welcome to my castle!"

Necros and the two bowed. "First of all, i just want to say i am grateful for your help today." The King said with a smile. "If it is possible, would you like to work with my comrades in this kingdom? Join us."

Necros thought to himself. 'Jeez. What's with kingdoms and recruiting random adventurers."

"Who are your comrades?" Necros asked. 
The King clapped his hands.

Necros was shocked.

The three who stepped out was Saphire, the man with the revolvers and a man wearing a hooded robe.

"Hey. We met before. I'm Saphire." He said with a grin.
The gunslinger tipped his hat. "Name's Arsenal."
The man with the hooded robe was silent. He only said a single word. "Robin."

The king then looked at Necros. "So how about it. Wanna join us?"
Necros needed to get close to this king in order to get information. 'I'll just ditch and retire from this kingdom after.'

"Yes, please."

"Alright, it's decided. You're one of us. Before you join, can all three of you tell us your levels?" The King asked Necros and his friends.

Necros and the others answered one by one.

Necros said out loud, "82."
Fay smirked. "One Hundr--"
Necros had pinched her. "76.."
Astrid said it slowly. "77. I'm always above Fay." She said while grinning.

Fay looked slightly triggered. "What did you say?"
"You heard me."
"Bitch! I'm gonna kill you!"
"You can try."

Necros coughed. They both returned to their normal expressions. "Sorry."

"Wonderful! A  bunch of high levels! Are you all possibly players?"
"No. What is that?" Necros replied without a sweat.

"Oh. Too bad. Why don't you all tell Necros your levels."
Saphire blurted out. "I've already told him mine."
Arsenal softly said, "I'm Level 97." He had an expression of doubt.

"91." Robin said.

Not long after, the King threw a party. As Fay and Astrid were arguing, Necros left the room and stood at the balcony to get some air.

Arsenal approached him and joined him. "Great night huh?" He said while drinking a glass of wine. "Yeah. Just great." Necros said.

"Didn't know you were into underage girls." Arsenal said jokingly.
They both laughed.

Arsenal's tone suddenly got serious. "Necros. Why are you hiding?"
"Hiding what?"
"The fact that you are level 100."

Necros was shocked. "How can you tell?"
"My appraisal skill is strong, in fact, it's probably maxed out. Now."

He had a menacing look. "Tell me why you are hiding your level."
