The Lorewalkers Journey

In Akathra: Expeditions, August Harlow was a pretty average player in all aspects except one, Lore. When you had a question regarding Lore you came to August. Well that would be the case if his guild, ”Burning Ambition ”, didn hide him away to use for themselves. Thats right, August Harlow was only used to get an advantage on monsters and bosses. A complete and utter waste of his talents in his opinion.

He wasn even thanked for anything, because if the elites of the guild defeated a boss with Augusts info they got praised, but if they got wiped it was Augusts fault for, ”not providing accurate information. ” and his already small pay got cut even further. He couldn even leave the guild because he stupidly signed a contract that was for all intents and purposes a **ing slave contract. Poor Stupid August was to dazzled by the 2nd best guild to really read the contract.

”Hey August you **er, where the hell are you, show your self this **ing instant. ”

”Im coming John ” Oh god what was it now August thought.

John was one of the elites in the Burning Ambition guild, one of the few people with a legendary class and to top it all off, the little brother of the guild leader, because of these traits he also was a complete and utter asshole.

”What the ** was the information you gave me about the Demon Lord of Wrath boss. Nothing was like what you said, you caused us to party wipe dipshit. ”

”What thats not possible, how did the first team get wiped by a level 250 boss, your all level 300. ” August said with a shocked face.

”Thats the **ing thing retard the boss was Level 400 not 250, so looks like your going to get a massive pay cut because of your incompetence. ”

”The **? Thats not right, the sealed Demon Lord of Wrath should only be level 250, why was he level 400. Wait, did you unseal it?! ”

”Yeah Jimmy said we would get more rewards that way. ”

”I told you guys not to unseal it, why the ** am I getting a pay cut when this is Jimmys fault. ”

” This isn Jimmys fault **tard, its your fault for not explaining the danger properly. ”

”What, why is this- you know what alright fine. ”

”Thats right, know your place, August. ” John sneered.

I seethed inside as John walked away, likely going to tell the guild leader that I was useless again. At least theres one thing to feel happy about, my monthly lore hunt. Today was the one day of the month I got to leave to look for lore. I had made sure that I was given the opportunity to hunt for lore, but because of their greed, Burning Ambition only allowed me one day a month in real life, l to hunt for the lore of the game. The time difference between the game and real life was 4 to 1 so I got to be out for four days, which I was thrilled about.

As I was walking towards the guild entrance, I heard a loud familiar shout. I turned around to see a body flinging itself at me.

”ugh…Charles, I remember telling you not to jump on me. ”

”Oh come on, August, its not like Im hurting you. ”

Yep this guy that jumped on me was my younger brother Charles. He was two years younger than me and had joined the same guild as me. He, unlike me, is an amazing player who is one of the lucky few who had legendary classes, I think there was like ten of them altogether and thats one of the main reason he was treated really good at Burning Ambition, so good in fact that he didn have to sign a slave contract, he got a normal contract. He of course didn know about the fact that I was a slave to the guild. I couldn tell him either because of the contract.

His class was ”Pope ”, yep he was a very powerful priest. So powerful that he was one of the main reasons, that the best guild on the server, ”Darken Rain ” didn try to mess with Burning Ambition too mu
