Join
Deep inside a forest dungeon,Haseo is leveling by defeating monsters left and right,while thinking about Ovan and Shino,and what they have said to him in the past.About how he is needed,and to not quit The World just yet.His train of thought is interrupted when 3 players approach him,each smirking and snickering,they seem to want something out of him. Else where,the Twilight Brigade is relaxing in a field,Shino asks Ovan if it's ok to leave Haseo out there by himself.Ovan says,When the time comes,the situation will change.

Back in the forest dungeon..To Haseo's surprise,the players are all down on the floor,in a begging postion.They are asking him to join their party,but why? One of the players asks if he is,Haseo the "Legendary Black Multi-weapon"? Haseo is confused as to where they got the idea of calling him "legendary". Haseo takes this chance to run off while they are still on the floor,running far away from them he thinks he has lost them,but then two more players approach him.Of course they are looking for him too,now they are calling Haseo,"The Black Multi-Weapon of Charm".Haseo still has no idea what is going on,but before he can even ask,they kick him thinking an item will appear or something.Now the players think he is a fake,or just doesnt want to give them what they want.Just when Haseo is about to get attacked once more,he is saved by another player.

This player asks if he has heard about the rumors on the BBS.Haseo doesnt know,so the player tells him about the names they are giving him;"The Legendary Black Multi-weapon","The Black Multi-Weapon of Charm","A new installment of rare character",and "An artificial intelligence character without a player".He also states that its possible that Ovan was the one who started those rumors.Haseo asks what he thinks about him. To be honest,he really doesnt care about what they think,he just wants to find out about Ovan.But in reality,Haseo doesnt know much either about Ovan,just the usual comments they say about him.With that said,the player leaves,he had done his business with him and walks away.

Back in town,Haseo is thinking when he is surprised by a pat on the back and a yell coming from none other than,Tabby.Haseo remembers her from somewhere,Tabby introduces herself as the newbie for the Twilight Brigade,while Haseo just walks away,she quickly runs after him.Still following him and calling out his name over and over,Haseo turns and asks what she wants from him.Tabby holds up a card,its a guild invite,she says it was Ovan who wanted her to give it to him.She also tells asks him when he is going to join the guild,and that Ovan and Shino are waiting for him too.Haseo starts to walk away from him,once again,she follows,then Haseo tells her to listen.Tabby is listening,he tells her to close her eyes for a moment,but she knows that if she does,he will definatley run away;seems Haseo couldnt out smart her after all.Instead,Haseo says she is a pain and logs out.

Finally Haseo is alone to himself,at his usual spot on the bridge,glancing at the guest card from Tabby,his surroundings becomes distorted and interrupted by something.Realizing something is going on,he also notices that he is alone in town.Looking around,he spots Ovan walking in the distance,Haseo quickly runs after him hoping to catch up with him.Just when Ovan turns around a corner,he disappears,the sceneary around him turns back to normal,and instead its the player who saved from earlier,and is standing there in the alley entrance.Haseo asks if he did that,but the player has no clue what he is talking about,but is probably starting to understand why Ovan is interested in him.Both of them are spotted by some other players who gossiping over those two,Tawaraya is the player's name, and he is from the TaN guild.Tawaraya is also giving Haseo a guest card for their guild,telling him to think about it.Haseo doesnt know what else to say and just runs out of there.

Back at the Twilight Brigade's guild home,Tabby asks Sakisaka if she is annoying,he doesnt give a straight answer,but hints it that she is.Shino suggests they should meet Haseo again,Ovan asks what Shino will do after she meets him again,she doesnt give a definite answers but brings up how TaN will not leave him alone.ovan isnt too worried about that,but Shino is in a way.Out in the fields,Haseo glances at the guest cards from the two different guilds,then out of nowhere, Shino is sitting down close by him.He asks her,if she's going to ask him about the guild.She responds saying she doesnt know what he is talking about.Haseo forgets about it and walks away.Still unsure,Haseo glances at the cards one last time,and finally makes his decision as he tosses one of them away.

Tawaraya realizes that Haseo has chosen the Twilight Brigade,him and Ender also take note that in Ovan's eyes,Haseo is something this world can't live without.
