[New world, New rules [ But we are still just as good]

Kirito and Asuna walked toward the adventurers guild they had to admit that they felt pretty nervous neither of them knew if the world they were in was either an update of the death game they had been a part of or if the world they were in was real.

Granted they had been in this world for a while now and understood that while they could still use the skills they had inside of the castle neither of them had fought anyone or any monster from this new world.

They noticed that their little group attracted the attention of a lot of the locals but so far no one bothered to say anything to them so they just headed straight towards the Adventurers Guild.

With them were several other players, but they all had agreed to either separate into groups of three or pairs considering that they would all be taking extremely low-level quests or jobs, so none of them needed a complete party for anything.

The moment they opened the doors to the guild house they felt the eyes of every adventurer in its turn to look at them, yet as quickly as they came, they were just as quick o leave.

Asuna being the second in command of the Knights of the Blood Oath and by that extent, the only one that everyone even respected at the moment had no other choice but to be the one responsible for dealing with the people of the Guild.

Kirito watched as the woman behind the counter jumped with a look of surprise when she looked up and found their group all standing in front of her.

"Yes, can I help you?" Guild Girl said to Asuna who immediately handed her a stack of papers and took a deep breath.

"We have taken an old fortress three days from here, depending on the speed of that a person walks"

"The current population is around ten thousand, however, we don't know if any of the women are expecting," Asuna said to Guild Girl as she watched the members of the Guild behind the counter separating the papers she had given to the receptionist.

Kirito watched as an older man whispered something Guild Guilrl before the woman immediately searched through the papers in front of her and handed it to the man who immediately began to read it.

Kirito watched as the guild staff brought out a map and circled what he assumed was the area where the fortress was and what was the fastest way to get to it from the town.

It was like a switch had been flipped and the people behind the counter had suddenly been given a fresh pair of batteries considering how much they were moving around, hell even the adventurers that had completely dismissed their group had gone back to looking at them.

Kirito didn't blame them considering how much the Guild staff was running around.

Old parchments were dug up from boxes, Kirito watched what he could only assume were accountants began to take notes and compare what was written down on one parchment from another before throwing them to one of the gilded staff.

After half an hour of waiting the guild staff handed a stack of papers to Asuna who immediately began to read them.

Luckily for him and everyone else, their help screens still worked so Asuna could send them the images of what she was looking at.

So fortunately or unfortunately a lot of people either chose to ignore the papers or found them too confusing and chose to leave them to the people that could understand them.

The stack of papers the guild staff had given Asuana said that because the Knights [Players ] have taken over the fortress they were now responsible for maintaining it, the surrounding area now belonged to them and they were free to do with it what they wanted.

Now how much land that was no one knew considering that nearly all of the records are useless because the fortress had been built a very long time ago, during a time fortresses like were built quickly.

Meaning that there was a war and the place we are living in now was expected to fall to the enemy and had only been built to either slow the enemy down or make them think they captured something important when in reality no one cared about it.

There were a lot of clauses included in the papers, also one-third of the crops would be taken as tax should we not have the money to pay, and that if there was a war we were expected to protect the frontier from monsters and people.

Luckily the papers also said that we should ignore any summons to the capital because by the time we even manage to get there it would already be too late.

There were trade deals, included but these only included protection for anyone that visited us on their way back, so we would be expected to escort anyone that visited us back to town.

There was something else that Kirito had to admit he didn't like because the players had taken over the fortress they were also meant to keep whatever deals that had yet to be kept by the old residents of the fortress.

Luckily for everyone, the Guild Leaders gave up a lot of their gold so they could get rid of whatever debts that would show up, but that was the thing.

From what the papers said a road was supposed to be built that led from the fortress to the town, but for whatever reason, it was never built and so the players were expected to fulfill the end of the bargain.

Kirito didn't like it, because according to the papers, the road was supposed to make it easier for the knights to reach the nearby towns or villages, but according to the map the guild of this world had given Asuna, most of those villages were gone.

That also meant that the players weren't expected to build one road but a lot more how many exactly Kirito didn't know just yet.

"Is that all" Guild Girl asked Asuna with the friendliest smile she could make

"No, please give us all of the low-level jobs that are available, we can do everything from cleaning up after animals - building or repairing houses an/killing monsters," Asuna said to Guild Girl who looked at her with a shocked expression

"Yes- yes" Guild Girl said to Asuna before taking a stack of papers of jobs no one wanted to do, considering they paid very little and were nothing more than manual labor.

"Is this all of them?" Asuna asked Guild girl who suddenly stopped breathing

"Please give us all of the jobs that need to be done, as long as they are low-level and are from this town and every other village," Asuna said to Guild Girl.

Kirito watched as the guild staff brought out several stacks of papers and placed a map on top of them.

Again they were lucky the jobs on each sheet of paper were nothing, herding livestock- building fences - hell even killing Goblins, nothing any of them haven't done before, and thanks to the help screens they had, they suddenly had a more detailed map on top of the one that the guild had given Asuna earlier.

And so everyone graved a stack of papers and left to wherever they had to go, unfortunately, there weren't enough players to do all of the stacks, so Asuna ended up asking the Guild to hold the stacks of paper until one of the teams came back and asked for another sack.

Yeah this all seems pointless, but we need to know how people do things here and one village can do things completely different from another one, so this gives us the perfect excuse to gather as much information as we can.
