In the corner of the big city called Luciano City, there was a cozy and warm place for people to stay. It was a small bar full of dust that would normally look annoying to others, but to the four people who had been customers of this place for a long time, it was probably a pale treasure!
This place was not so big but not so small. The owner of this bar was a short, balding old man with a long beard who was usually the icon or reference for others to enter this bar.
In the corner of the bar, there is a group of people who are usually known by the owner as the main customers, because they often gather in this place just to do small activities, they are also known by many visitors to this small bar as the 'scene-stealers' of this small bar, because they create many games ranging from ordinary to unusual.
On the table of the four of them was a game board prepared by the leader of the group. A man with smart glasses whose body was not too small but not too big, his name was Sirius Mernawan commonly called Wan.
Wan sat comfortably, his chin held comfortably by his palms.
"How! This is a game I invented myself" Wan exclaimed in a proud tone, still excited about his invention and waiting for his friend's praise.
A young black-haired girl sitting right in front of the man began to think, "Brother Wan seems to have forgotten our age." Sunny began to reminisce about the times when this small group played the games he made, including herself as a fan of his games, but she also felt that Brother Wan had forgotten that the group that once contained snot-nosed children was now an adult.
In that small group, the oldest must be Wan, He was already 32 years old, the rest were only around 20 or 22 years old at most, the youngest in this group must be Sunny, her age this year was 20 years old.
A short man on the girl's right started to get up from his seat then exclaimed "Very good Brother Wan! But don't you feel that our group is a bit small?" Maybe when compared to the other people who followed Brother Wan, he was the first to play the game that Brother Wan had invented, but when it came to who was the weakest and cutest in this group, it was definitely himself, even Brother Wan often called him 'Little Joe' because she thought this man was still small, his age this year was 21 years old.
Another one is a man who is quite tall but thin, although he doesn't like to talk, it's not because this person is lazy to talk, this person prefers to enjoy the warm atmosphere and also likes to enjoy the games Wan creates in his silence. Let's call this guy Humbert, he's 22 years old this year.
"Little Joe is right, isn't our group too small?" Humbert agreed with his friend's idea, Humbert himself felt, fun would be more valuable when shared with more people, while this group only contained four people, although Humbert felt that he knew each member like his family, but still! This small group needed new members.
Humbert and Little Joe looked at Wan with fiery eyes because they needed a junior who they could teach about the great games Wan had created, they also wanted to introduce the fun of the games Wan had created to more people.
In contrast to the two, Sunny was more calm, according to her, she knew each member well, and even considered each member of this small group like a brother. She herself felt that she had enough with this small group, but if she had to add more members, it meant that she had to get to know the new members, which she thought was very troublesome. Even when he first came to this group, he found it difficult to get to know and communicate with Little Joe and Humbert, while for Wan, he had already considered him like his own friend from the start.
Hearing the wishes of the two members, made her head spin, why? Because to make a group bigger than four people required money, while this small group didn't even make a penny of money, let alone having to make a group bigger than four people, maybe this was just a dream, Wan didn't want to spend a penny of money to raise this group, because he still needed to eat, also sometimes making games also required money, so if they had to expand this group, it was an impossible thing.
The limit for a group is four people, while to form a larger group, they must register with the center, otherwise they will be accused of being a cult.
Even after paying, the group still had a limit of ten people, but what was originally an ordinary group would rise to a small guild and would be registered with the center. Even after paying, the group creator would be asked about the guild's purpose and would have to explain it clearly, after which it would be approved, but under supervision.
"Huh..., I'll think about it later" Wan could only give up for the time being as she couldn't go against the wishes of her two members, even though this wasn't the first time they had wanted to.
Wan immediately prepared the dice he had created from wood from her pocket, then took the wooden bag under his feet and opened it. Inside were four pieces made of wood, the shape of a horse, the bottom of the piece was round and each piece was a different color, beside the pieces were thin coins formed from wood and there were quite a lot of them, they seemed to be used as currency for the game he had created.
"Let's start playing the game!" Wan evenly distributed the pieces and thin coins to each member while explaining about the game He had created.
The group enjoyed the game while talking about the game, several times Little Joe exclaimed as his dice often spit out small numbers that made him miss out on opportunities to obtain buildings that could help him earn more money with just a little investment.
The game went on for a long time until the afternoon turned into evening.
A few times Wan won because he was the creator of the game and knew more about the strategy of the game, a few times he also lost because his dice always brought up big numbers that made her run out of money and forced him into debt.
The small bar went from a warm and lonely place to a cozy place. Some people came to the small bar when the afternoon was coming, some people also greeted Wan, and some people greeted the other members, some people also saw the game they were playing and wanted to play, but Wan refused them because of the lack of pieces and the people playing the game were already full.
