"What's the deal with having commanders anyway?" Dark Skull asked curious.

"Meaning, they shall be the top fighters of my guild who may be able to dominate this game," Unknown smiled mysteriously.

As the number one player in the game and a battle maniac, Peerless Saintess wanted to try these so-called commanders who could dominate the game as what the Unknown claimed. She wanted to test how capable they were. "Why don't I test these commanders of yours and see if they really can dominate the game?"

"Test them?" Unknown was amused and he showed a wicked smile, "How about we include a bet? If you were able to beat all three of them then you won?"

"Sure! If I win, I can have a piece of land in your Village for free," Peerless Saintess said with a wide smile. "If I lose, I'll owe you three things."

"How about the biggest guild in the country? Like to join?" Unknown asked.

"I want you to lead our guild in subduing that level 10 palace you were talking about," Dark Skull smiled as he brought out his sword polishing it. "Otherwise, I'll also owe you three things."

"You go on a date with me if I win and you will invite me to a date if you win," Thorn Lily smiled adoringly.

"Not a chance!"

"That's not gonna happen!"

Both Girdle and Drizzle Sizzle shouted at the same time as they looked at Thorn Lily and each other with a little bit of hostility. "Hmph!"

"I'll join too. If I win, you'll owe me one but if you win, you are going to meet us three personally and we'll owe you three things too." Wild Flavor chuckled.

"What the hell are you planning?" Wild Berry murmured but it was still heard by everyone.

"What? I just wanted to meet the man who helped us built and strentghen our guild." Wild Flavor winked.

"Can't I be part of it?" Silent voiced out feeling jealous. He knew that he was strong enough to be a part of these duels.

"If you want to join then you'll be their first opponent," Unknown showed a mocking expression. He was showing Silent that he wasn't good enough to fight against the Experts and Godly Experts. This made Silent furious! He was now rearing to show his capabilities against his opponents.

The group followed Unknown at the eastern part of the village. He then activated the Battle Arena Blueprint (level 1, 2 and 3) in which he tasked Once Jewel to acquire just after joining their guild.

[Activate Arena Blueprint?]

[Yes]

[Arena Constructed]

[Activate Arena Blueprint Level Two?]

[Yes]

[Level Two Arena Constructed]

[Activate Arena Blueprint Level Three?]

[Yes]

[Level Three Arena Constructed]

Within the Arena, Unknown and the others entered. Since it was a level three Arena, they can now set up private battles and create duel settings that would be agreed by both parties.

The duel settings were simple, both opponents shall be at the same level having the same 50 stat points to be distributed by each player. Also, equipment to be used shall be provided by the system - beginner equipment. There will only be 5 skills to be used by each player and the system shall give it to them randomly.

Settled, Silent was the very first one to try the duel. His opponent was none other than the number one player Peerless Saintess. Once the countdown was over, Peerless dashed towards Silent and immediately stunned him. Barrages of basic attacks were given to him during the stun. And just like that, the duel ended without fun.

Silent's next opponent was Dark Skull. Learning from his mistake, he readily moved after the countdown and went on to attack Dark Skull. He activated the skill invisibility and slashed towards his opponents, he thought he was able to deal damage but he was wrong. Dark Skull parried his attack and activated the skill tornado slash. Not giving a chance to recover, Dark Skull attacked Silent nonstop that ended the duel shortly.

Thorn Lily immediately entered the duel platform wearing a mocking expression "You still want to continue?"

Silent clenched his fists and accepted the duel without saying a word. After the countdown, he again used his invisibility. He moved slowly towards his opponent and it actually took him three minutes to make an attack. This time, he was successful in landing an attack. Not just once but eight consecutive attacks. He was smirking since the last two rounds were very unpleasant to him but now, he was smirking as if victory was on his grasp. He felt proud and he was getting aggressive in each attack. As his final attack was about to land, he blinked his eyes and in the next second, he was out of the duel platform leaving Thorn Lily with only a sliver of health, "What happened? How come?"

"You can watch the battle preview in the duel settings," Drac said as he looked at Silent shaking his head. It was as if he was looking at someone who was stupid.

"You still want to be humiliated? You think you can be a powerhouse in this game? If you do think that then tell me, I don't need a member who thinks so highly of themselves!" This time, Unknown was unpleasant and everyone saw it. He saw a talent in Silent, but it was not a talent to dominate, instead it was the talent to assist. If Silent still insisted on dueling despite the gap between the powerhouses, then he has no choice but to kick Silent out of his guild. He will never allow any of his members to think that they were highly competent. He wanted them to be humble, loyal, respectful and with humility.

"I want to continue!" Silent said with determination and Unknown immediately kicked him out of the guild.

"Blood, your turn!" Unknown seriously ordered not minding Silent who was still at a loss after being kicked out of the guild.

Full of fighting spirit, Blood entered the duel platform as he courteously bowed towards Peerless Saintess whom he idolized, "Please give me guidance!"

As the countdown ended, both of them dashed towards each other. The two showed their aggressiveness as they went wild with their attacks. No one showed weakness and exchanged blows after blows, skills after skills. This duel showed the might of the Berserker Class, it was just pure fighting. All the spectators were awed by the performance of the two. Even Silent was now realizing the gap between a Ranker and an Expert.

Ten minutes of pure battle exchange and Peerless Saintess prevailed with 3/4 of her health remaining. It was witnessed in the battle how she dominated Blood but his performance clearly satisfied her. Clearly, the advantage of being the first generation of playing the game showed her might and expertise. "Not bad!"

"Jewel, your turn." Unknown simply ordered. He wasn't satisfied with the battle. Blood battled with wildness and never even used his wits during the duel.

Standing on the duel platform, Once Jewel readied her stance as she waited for the countdown to end. And just like the previous battles, Peerless dashed towards her opponent without a second thought. Jewel evaded and parried her attacks while thinking of a way to counterattack. Since Jewel was a tank, it wasn't easy for Peerless to reduce her health.

Jewel's might as an Expert was clearly witnessed by everyone. She stood toe to toe against the number one expert. Despite being a second generation player, she showcased how bad ass she was.

For half an hour, the duel ended with Peerless winning having 3/4's of her health remaining, "If you have a little more damage then I might have only 1/8 of my health. You're good, I will remember you!"

Bowing down, Once Jewel was ecstatic upon receiving praise. She also heard the others giving her compliments. She never expected to get complimented after joining a guild, a guild where she was accepted. She missed her kind of life when she was always receiving compliments and praises. When she started the game, she would receive compliments because of her talent. But other players started to mock her because she would always want to do the impossible - travelling the high level maps, killing high level beasts, doing dungeons alone, slaying bosses with low level team mates.

This time, she felt that her existence in the game would surely flourish together with her guild leader and the other members. She was on cloud nine when she received a message from Unknown, "Pack your things later. Starting tomorrow, you are going to live with us. That way I can make you more capable in game."

Jewel blushed upon reading the message, it was her first time to be invited by a man and also to live with him. She looked at Unknown shyly and this was noticed by Drizzle and Girdle.

"Don't ever think of having him!" Drizzle Sizzle looked at Once Jewel with threatening eyes.

"Right!" Girdle seconded.

But Once Jewel was once a celebrity and has experienced these threatening situations multiple times. And she's not someone to back down, "Sorry ladies, but it seems the Unknown wants me to live with him!"

Chuckling, Drizzle looked at Jewel with mocking eyes, "Unfortunately you are not the only woman who's going to live with him. I am already sleeping with him every night and Unloved Woman who has the largest breasts was in the next room and she might even make him fall for her. Also, Fiery Lotus is young and fresh and men never say no to virgins."

"You mean the three of you are living with him?" Girdle felt jealous, pain and anger. Even Jewel wondered why the guild leader wanted her to live with him. In her minds were, 'Was it really to help me be more capable in game? Or maybe he has a thing with me? Is he a pervert and wanted to include me in his harem?'

"Don't worry, you are just a past to him so why bother?" Drizzle insulted Girdle.
