Chapter 262: Common enemy
"Huh? A message request? Is it that red dragon again? What does he want with me again?" He mumbled and then when he clicked the sender's profile, he could see that he was wrong.
'Oh! Maybe it's a fan or something.' he thought and then he shrugged before accepting the message request.
Then he was teleported from the fighting room he was in to the familiar white room but he wasn't alone, as he could see a young teenage guy in front of him.
"Hi wolf hunter! Nice to finally meet you. I'm Sam and I need your help."
"Help? Sam, what do you mean? I don't even know you and you are requesting for my help?" Jake said surprised.
"Yeah right, my bad." Sam smiled as he looked at Jake then he sighed.
"My name is Sam and I need to see the werewolf slayer."
"What!!?!!" Jake said in surprise. "The werewolf slayer? How do you want me to get you to see a powerful figure like that?"
"I know you are at Aurora Academy right now." Sam said.
'How does he know that? Who is this Sam personnel?' Jake thought.
"I know you are surprised about how I know. Well you see, I'm quite the curious type so when you started gaming and showing skills that was beyond my understanding winning match after match with a few losses, I decided to look into you more." Sam said.
'Look into me? Did he find out any vital information about me? Darn! I think I made the wrong choice by showing off in the game.' Jake thought.
"So I managed to find out you are at Aurora Academy tracking your gaming ID and finding out where the pod you used is at. And I know that the werewolf slayer took over Aurora Academy and I doubt you would have left there." Sam said.
"Hmm! So what do you want to see the werewolf slayer for? Not like I can arrange a meeting with him as he is a busy figure but I need to know maybe there's a way I can help."
Sam sighed and looked at Jake with teary eyes. "You see my town was taken over by a strong guild and they took my dad as hostage."
Jake just slapped his forehead loudly in frustration. 'Why is it that all the people I meet always ask for my help regarding their town being taken over?'
"But why did they take your dad?" He asked.
"Because he was the leader of the town, my dad was a prominent figure in the town as he was the one who created it from scratch and became the ruler. Think of something along the lines of a mayor of the old." Sam explained.
"Oh I see!" Jake said stroking his chin. "But how sure are you he is still alive?"
Sam just clenched his hands tightly while gritting his teeth before he decided to reply.
"I don't know, I'm just trying to have hope."
"Then there's no need to get the werewolf slayer involved since you aren't even sure if your dad is alive." Jake sighed and was about to log off.
"Wait! Please just help me! My people are in bondage and are in trouble. Every first day in a new month, at least a dozen people are taken away to only heavens knows where." Sam said.
"And how are you able to play the game so comfortably?" Jake asked.
"It would have been destroyed if I didn't act fast enough to hide it in a secret hideout I created for myself when my dad was still here. I'm using the game to see if I can recruit people that can help me in this fight." Sam explained.
Jake sighed and looked at Sam with sorry eyes. "Look! There's no way the werewolf slayer will want to concern himself with this matter right now as he is totally occupied."
"I know!" Sam said clenching his fist in determination. "I know he is occupied and funny enough, we both have a common enemy."
"Huh?" Jake raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I heard that the Iron Fist Guild were trying to obstruct the Fang hunters' and the werewolf slayer struck a meeting with them but it resulted in the death of the vice leader of the Iron Fist Guild and now the guild are restless." Sam said.
"How do you know all these?" Jake asked with a raised brow because he knew that the news wasn't really public and only a select few knew about it.
"Remember when I said we have a common enemy? Well I was talking about the Iron Fist Guild as they are the ones who took over my town and took my dad as a hostage." Sam said.
'What?! What is going on? What are the Iron Fist Guild planning? Why are they taking over town after town?' Jake thought.
With a sigh, Jake replied. "There's nothing I can do about that I'm sorry. It's not like I'm a high ranking adventurer in the guild, I'm just a normal student so there's nothing I can do."
The truth was that Jake wanted to help but he couldn't just take the fight to them, he has his own guild members to think about. Unless the iron fist guild brought the fight to them, there was nothing Jake could do.
"What about you? I have been seeing your match from the start of your VR journey and I saw how strong you always got anytime you came back to the game. That is not ordinary, you must have your way, not like I want to know. But you can still help
Remember I said I was recruiting people, you could just join me and we could probably do this together." Sam said.
"Remember I also said I was still a student at the academy? I can't just leave on the whim! Besides, I'm not sure that we can take them on so this is basically a suicide mission. I'm sorry, I hope you manage to rescue your dad and town." Jake said and immediately, he logged out of the game.
"Darnnn it!!!!" Sam shouted into the air in the VR room.
