Plundering in the Apocalypse

[... The sudden appearance of portals last had caused havoc among the citizens.] As the news anchor continued reading the news Alfred's eyes widened.

"*Sigh*, Just why do these weird things keep happening one after another. Why are the Aliens here now? Weren't those monsters enough?"

"Weren't you very excited that day when you heard them contacting Aliens? Why are you sighing now?" Shin's voice sounded as he entered the living room.

"Hmph, things are a lot different now." Alfred glared at Shin but he shrugged it off.

"Also, try to keep the voice down Shin. Neighbors will complain again." Seeing the smirk on Alfred's face. Shin was certain Alfred was just trying to mess with him.

'Sometimes I wonder where this childish side of Dad comes from. Normally he is very strict.'

Getting no reaction from Shin, Alfred smirked and disappeared.

"Tsk."

Soon Shin's attention was caught by a piece of news he had been expecting all this time.

[... Several Buildings collapsed in the commercial sector due to the dungeon break last night. Fortunately, it was suppressed by the other races named Elves and Beast folks. The cause of their arrival is still unknown. But these people are heroes who saved us from befalling a great disaster. The association is in talks with them. Further information will be provided soon... Next...]

Shin stopped paying attention to the other part of the news. What he wanted was complete. His two buddings were crushed and only rubble was left. Also, the government will now give some reimbursement.

'Hehe, I didn't waste any money demolishing the buildings and I also get money for that. How nice.' Shin was pretty satisfied with the result.

"The breakfast is ready." Alice came to notify them.

Soon they had a very normal family breakfast and everyone left to attend their matters.

Alfred had a lot of work to do with the arrival of Aliens. He might do a few overtime now.

Reina was going to be at home.

Shin and Alice left the house with the intention of recruiting guild members.

"Who are we going to recruit?" Alice asked curiously.

"You know them." Shin's words made Alice all the more curious.

Their first stop was the MSR colony. Yes, they were going to recruit the Felbert duo, Jenny and James.

As they arrived at their house Alice smiled.

"I see now."

"Yeah, them."

After their first meeting, they didn't get a chance to meet again but Shin still had their contact. When he was thinking of whom to recruit for the guild.

They suddenly popped up in his mind. As far as he can remember. Both of them were 'A' rank awakeneds and their abilities were pretty interesting too.

*Knock*

After the knock, a rustling sound came from inside. Soon the door was wide open and a familiar face was in front of them welcoming them with a warm smile.

"Hello guys, come on in." It was James Felbert

James Felbert was saved by Alice. When Mia used healing magic on him. Age 30 years old, he loves his wife very dearly.

From Leonard's memory of the future, Shin had remembered James. He was nicknamed, 'The Army'. Because of his ability Golem Master (A). From the future he remembered, James was like a lone wolf, always alone. He was emotionless and cold. Only his deeds were mentioned among the people. His army of golems once destroyed a strong villain organization.

But the current James and the future one. Were a lot different. Current James was kind and warm-hearted. But the future James was emotionless and soulless like a dead man walking.

'I may know the reason. I believe in the future Jenny died. That may have been a trauma for him.' Shin thought. All of these were mere speculations. No one knew the exact reason and there was no way to find out. Because the future is changed. This time James Felbert will join the Astros guild.

As they went inside, Jenny greeted them with a happy smile. This was a great day for her.

"Welcome Miss Alice." Jenny was very glad to have her.

Shin waited but he was ignored for some reason. But he didn't think much of it.

Jenny kept trying to talk to Alice while ignoring Shin. She was very happy.

'Hehe, finally the goddess is inside my abode. I just make her comfortable in any way possible.'

Ah, right. Jenny had believed Alice was a goddess living in human disguise. Her faith in her was too strong.

After some time they all took a seat. Now to the important matter.

"Mr. James, have you both considered my proposal? I sure do want your help with my guild." Shin got straight to the point. There was no point beating around the bush. Although he wanted them to join. He wasn't comfortable with too many pleasantries.

James went silent for a moment. He had already considered the proposal. 'To be honest the proposal was very good. Even other guilds won't prioritize us this much. Also.' James glanced at Shin and Alice, who were waiting for his answer. 'Both of them are very strong, I know I can trust them. They are good people, I won't be exploited, and following them will help me get stronger.'

James' determination to become stronger grew after the last night's incident. The arrival of Aliens ignited a fire inside him. He can't continue staying weak. Although he had leveled up for the last few days. It was nothing compared to the growth they felt following Shina and Alice. James got an answer for himself.

"I would like to take your offer. But I will only join if Jenny agrees to join." James agreeing to join the guild made Shin very happy.

Shin's gaze turned towards Jenny waiting for her answer.

Without any hesitation Jenny said.

"I would like to reject your offer. There's no way we are going to take so much risk by joining the guild. If your leadership skills aren't good we may end up dying following your orders. Why should we take risks?"

Shin didn't like that answer. This will ruin a lot of his plans. Alice saw Shin's sad expression and her blood started boiling.

'How dare she make my Shin sad? Should I just kill her? Oh no, I can't do that. If I kill her she won't be able to join the guild. Shin will be sad regardless.'

Alice's eyes which had turned red for a moment but immediately returned to their original color. She thought of something and said. "Miss Jenny, I want to ask something of you."

Hearing Alice's words Jenny got alerted. 'This humble one will do anything for her goddess.'

"Can you please join the guild?" Alice asked with a pleading look.

"Of course. I will join the guild." Jenny replied. instantly.

'Oh, how stupid of me. Why did I reject the offer? If I join the guild. I can be very close to the goddess. Why did I not think of that? I deserve to be punished.' Jenny had a guilty look on her face.

Shin and James were dumbfounded by her sudden change.

'What just happened?' Shin couldn't understand what was going on.

'Anyway, things worked out fine. So I guess it's fine.'

Now they got themselves two great members for the guild. The Barrier Master (A), Jenny Felbe,rt and the Golem Master (A), James Felbert.

After their talk was finished. They left the place.

"Now to the next ones," Shin uttered to which Alice nodded in agreement.

"By the way, do you what happened with Jenny? Why did she agree to you but not to me?" Shin decided to ask this question to Alice.

He was very curious.

"I am not sure. But isn't this a good thing both of them joined? So the result is what matters." Alice also had no clue about Jenny's thoughts.

"Yeah, you are right."

"Anyway who are the next candidates?" Alice asked curiously.
