Soul Fusion Online

"What do you mean?" Ryu did not let down his guard. He still kept Chi behind him, his sword at the ready. 

"Let me explain!" Violet stood up and stepped forward. "Princess. Yuki, my name is Amanda Glendale. I go to the same college as you and am in a few of your classes. The reason I know who you are is that… Well…  I have been watching Yuki since the first day I saw her and know her eyes very well. Even though you are male in game, your eyes are still the same, and I will never forget them."

"I knew it! You were after my Ryu!"  Chi suddenly burst out. Chi\'s hair on her ears was standing straight up, and her tail also stood straight up. Ryu was starting to wonder if Chi had cat blood in her too. 

"Okay, relax, no one is trying to go after me or steal me from you. So Amanda, no Violet. You figured out who I was just by my eyes alone?" Ryu asked.

"Mm… Sorry, I planned not to reveal your identity, but when I heard the news, and you two did not show up in game for a while, that was when I was one hundred percent sure, and at that time, WhiteLotus and Rose were both wondering what happened to you so I figured I would be best to let them know."  Violet bowed her head. 

Ryu let out a sigh and lowered his sword. "It\'s fine. In fact, thank you for letting them know. I did not like leaving you girls hanging without knowing if we would return or not. Anyway, thanks."

"It-It\'s fine… I am glad you are okay." Violet blushed. She was happy her crush didn\'t get mad at her. 

"But to think the princess would be like this. I heard you were much different. But to top it off, you two are sticking to the same team." WhiteLotus gave an amused look.

"You can stop calling me Princess now." Chi cut in but was immediately interrupted by Ryu.

"Before we say any more, I want the three of you to promise that you will never say anything about us. We do not want anyone to know who we are in game or what is going on in our private lives. As of now, we are still strangers, so it would not be good for you three to be spreading things around. Let me just say I have enough money to find you and make you disappear if such things were to come to light within the game." Ryu did his best to keep things from sounding too threatening, but in the end, he still threatened them with their lives.

"Ryu, you do not need to worry. All three of us are on your side. We do not want to lose our golden thigh over here." WhiteLotus said jokingly. "Joking aside. We are willing to sign a contract outside of the game if you so wish. That way, we will be locked into secrecy." 

Ryu shook his head. "Your word is enough.  If one does not trust, one will not know a person\'s true nature. Since we are friends, I will take your word for it. Just don\'t let me down." 

"No worries, I will never let our male god down!" Rose suddenly spoke up. Both WhiteLotus and Violet nodded their heads as well, agreeing with Rose\'s statement. 

"Just to be clear, Ryu is mine!" Chi hugged Ryu\'s arm as if showing that Ryu only belonged to her.

"Haha! Don\'t worry. I got my GreenHat at home. As for Rose and Violet. Well.... Rose seems to be interested, and you know Violet\'s stance now. So you three can battle it out while I make popcorn." WhiteLotus teased.

"I only like to look at handsome men. Although if you want to show me a little, I would..." Rose raised an eyebrow as she scanned Ryu\'s body up and down.

"No!" Chi yelled, moving to stand in front of Ryu.

"Tch… Stingy." Rose said, clicking her tongue.

"I am fine with just being friends… I will never get in between two people in love." Violet said softly.

"Alright enough talking about this. Anyway, from now on, Chi and I will be in game much more. So if you need help with anything, just let me know."  Ryu explained.

"Hey, if that is the case, why don\'t we start a guild? If we start now and slowly build it up, we can eventually turn into a sect and purchase a mountain later on. I heard you can get all kinds of benefits because of this. A guild level is raised as you gain members. You have to pay a small fee to unlock the perks once you reach the requirements, but once you have it, even if we lose all our members, we will keep those perks. It ranges from higher experience per kill to stat boost. It is well worth it." WhiteLotus suggested.

"Hmm, a guild, huh? How many people do we need?" Ryu asked.

"As far as I know, we will need 5 more people. Then we can register our guild with any city lord."  WhiteLotus explained.

"Hmmm… Then we will need to find some people to join then. But we need them to be trustworthy." Ryu Didn\'t want the five people who founded a guild to be untrustworthy. 

"We only need 3 people since I already have 2 who can join, and they are both trustworthy." WhiteLotus announced.

"Is one of them  GreenHat by chance?" Chi asked.

"Mmm… He is my man in real life, so he will have no choice but to do as I say, or I will close my legs on him." WhiteLotus words were as shameless as can be, but it still made them laugh. 

"Then who is the third?" Ryu asked.

"The last one is FingerSandwhich, who also happens to be GreenHat\'s brother in real life. This will work out good for Rose since he looks very handsome." WhiteLotus poked Rose\'s side teasingly. 

"Humph! Nothing matches up to my male god!" Rose snorted.

"I do not think anyone can match up to Ryu\'s handsome face. Chi, make sure he keeps that mask on. I am afraid he might steal my man, and then I will be the one wearing a green hat."  WhiteLotus said jokingly.

"That\'s true… I forgot I will need to watch out for men too. My Ryu is just too handsome..." Chi nodded in agreement. Ryu shook her head, wondering where these girls\' minds really went.

"Oh, one thing. For now, do not let anyone know about me being the owner of Heavenly Crafts. Even GreenHat." Ryu did not want to let the word out yet. This way she could keep people from sending her consistent private messages.

"No worries, I wouldn\'t tell that fool anything anyway. His mouth is so big you can sail a ship into it. But he is a sweetheart." WhiteLotus\'s eyes softened when she said the last part.

"Then we will look for some other people. For now we will put the guild thing aside. What we should do now is begin stockpiling resources and money."
