As Creed made his way to the elevator, his footsteps echoed softly across the pristine marble floor of the Adventurer Union.
The glass panels gleamed under the artificial lights, and the cold hum of technology buzzed in the background.
Every now and then, an adventurer brushed past him, clad in combat armor, their faces carved with the fatigue of survival and endless battles.
But Creed wasn't paying attention to any of that. His mind was somewhere else—far, far away, lost in thoughts so ridiculous they could've been turned into a bad sitcom.
'Man, imagine if they actually let me join...' His eyes glazed over slightly, a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.
'Four gorgeous older sisters just taking care of me... Cooking meals, patting my head after a tough mission, maybe—'
He coughed dramatically, shaking his head. "Alright, calm down, Romeo. Focus."
The elevator finally arrived with a soft chime. The sleek metal doors parted with a smooth hiss, revealing a spotless, glass-walled interior.
Creed stepped inside, pressed the glowing button for the 3rd floor, and leaned against the railing as the elevator ascended.
"If they're as strong as their record says, this could actually work out. Strong teammates, safe missions, and... well, the eye candy wouldn't hurt either."
