Raven Sanctuary

After leaving the alchemy room, Leroy went walking around the city while thinking about getting some quests to do.

In the way, most players would look at him with envy, although they didn't know which rank his equipment was, just the designs of it would be enough to tell it was not ordinary. Elite teams would be wearing Iron and at most one piece of Silver rank equipment after all.

He was thinking of going to the Adventurer's Association to pick up some quests and increase his reputation when suddenly the gaming cabin notified him of someone trying to make contact with his real self.

Logging out, he noticed Felicity standing near the cabin.

"Leroy, Uncle Pat asked me to inform you that hey had already reached Star-Moon City, they tried to inform you but you had your communications turned off" Felicity reported to him.

"Oh, alright I will turn them on right away and move to Star-Moon City" He had actually forgotten about that, his uncles must be quite mad.

As Felicity left, he once again logged into God's Domain.

Activating his communications, he saw thousands of messages from various players and guilds that tried to make contact with him.

It didn't take long before others contacted him.

"Finally, it's been ten years since we've been waiting for you, lad" It was actually Girof, or rather, uncle Pat who messaged him, he recognized the nickname right away.

"Yeah, some people just wouldn't stop pestering me so I turned off the communications. I will head there inmediatly" Leroy replied.

He went to the bank and moved his items to his inventory, then headed to the Teleportation Hall. After paying 32 Silver Coins he went to the capital of the kingdom.

As the capital city, Star-Moon City was the most affluent city of the kingdom, the amount of large guilds present here where also higher and the competition was fiercer than the one at the other cities, just looking around, Leroy could spot many times more players than those at White River City, be it their average levels or equipment, they were both higher.

The sorrounding areas had more abundnat resources and plenty of high-level maps that were only a short distance from the city.

The city itself was also something on a different level from the other cities.

At the heart of the city players moved everywhere to the NPCs shop, to the city hall, the Auction House and other core facilities. There he spot a team of at least forty players gathered.

"I've arrived, good day" Leroy said while looking at the figures in front of him.

Uncle Pat choose to be an Oracle.

Ford was a man with a tall frame and well defined muscles, it was not a surprise to Leroy that he choose a Berserk, naming it Fear Wave.

His three sons, Ford Jr. choose a ranger who he named Zero Hits, Robb was his second son which choose a swordsman named Flint, the youngest was an assasin named Heavensent which was Mark's character.

The four of them really looked like each other, in every game, they would be the kind of players who would just kidnap a priest and go killing monsters and players.

"Leroy you are here, this game feels great, it's a shame that people are wearing these clothes" It was Elise the first to greet him, not forgetting to criticize the players cloths with her sweet voice, altough it was true that most player's equipment didn't look good at all, it couldn't be helped, right?. She was Golden Thread, a summoner.

"Sweetheart, it can't be helped, the game just started. Also their clothes seems great for camouflage" Uncle Louis was an assasin named Eyeless, he pretty much resembled Uncle Pat.

Beside them there were many other player and friends of them, Leroy spotted quite a few familiar faces there from other games.

"Well, where are we at?" Leroy asked.

"I'll go learn Tailoring" Elise turned around and left first... Leroy only shook his head, she was not interested in anything else besides this and her own business.

"We have already brought about three thousands of Gold Coins from the market. Soon I'll go search for a merchant class" Uncle Pat said.

"I have already sent people to other cities to gather information across the kingdom" Uncle Louis first did what he was best at.

"There are still some members of the main team who should arrive in the next few hours as they reach Level 10." Ford also explained "What about you? You should have some equipment to spare, right?" He also didn't forget to ask this.

"That's great, and yeah I have some Gold Coins and equipment" He sent a trade request to Uncle Pat and sent him 2,100 Gold Coins while leaving 20 for himself

"You actually had so many coins?" Uncle Pat was surprised, it was very expensive to buy them on the market with real money, it reflected the difficutly of obtaining them.

"Yep, I managed to craft some potions and sold some stuff" Leroy didn't explain much and sent a trade request to Ford this time.

There he put some Level 10 to 20 equipment that he acquired before. Ford looked at it with shinning eyes, they were at least Iron rank, altough only twenty pieces of equipment, he was still satisfied.

"Good, you need to help us get more equipment and level up now, by the way, which Level are you?" Ford divided the equipment with his sons and the other members while asking.

"I'm Level 21 now..." Leroy sincerely replied, there was nothing to hide from them.

"Fu..." Ford almost spat out a vulgarity, while Jr, Robb and Mark looked at him as if praising his little brother.

"Good, you focus on getting equipment and leveling, I and Felicity will start the managment of the guild. Now.. who will be the Guild Master though..." As Pat ended speaking, everyone looked over at Leroy.

"No way! I won't be doing it" Leroy inmediatly tried to shake off the responsability. He knew them, Ford only cared about combat while uncle Louis liked to keep a low profile.

Leroy looked at Pat, and Pat looked at him as the wind whistled around...

Tlap! Tlap! Tlap!

In the blink of an eye, they made their move.

Old Pat's left hand was holding his right, which was in the form of a fist. While Leroy's hand had two fingers pointing at his uncle.

"Haha, I win. Lad you'll need another thirty years before you beat me" Uncle Pat let out a laugh of joy, while Leroy expression was ugly to behold. This old man's body was obviously stronger and his reflexes were far higher than his, the result was obvious.

Even if he could win, Leroy would rather lose than burden Uncle Pat with these, he also understood that these old man prefered to have someone young as the head of the guild. Even more, he owed him quite a bit.

"Good, very good. Now as the Guild Master... I shall name it Samsara" Leroy said while looking at the smug expression of Pat which instantly froze.

"Y-you wouldn't dare... such a name" Old Pat expression grew aggreviated at the awful idea. Seeing these, Leroy revealed a satisfied smile.

"Well then... Storm Sanctuary will do" Old Pat expression finally showed some relief, while Ford and his sons didn't care and Louis had an indifferent face.

Adventurer's Association.

Lots of players were gathered around the Quest Board in the lobby, these quests would give little exp but a high amount of Guild Reputation.

A Guild could be promoted by accumulating reputation, and the members would receive many benefits when completing them.

"Welcome, Sir. How can I help you today?" a lady with curly black hair behind the reception desk asked Leroy while smiling.

"I came to establish a Guild, miss." he replied.

"Good, please fill the application form." She passed him the standar Guild application form.

It was actually easy to establish a guild, players just needed a name and design a Guild Emblem. Then paying 10 Copper Coins for the Guild Certificate and have at least seven players placing their signatures on it.

New guilds would start as 1-Star Guilds, and their only benefits were the availability of the Guild Quests.

He draw a design of a black raven sitting on a branch sideways with the silouette of a city on the horizon with a crimson sky.

He sent the others a Guild Signature invitation which they inmediatly agreed.

System: Congratulations on establishing the Guild "Raven Sanctuary".

System: This is your first time joining a Guild.

There was no reward for doing this.

After he was done with all these, he went to the Fallen Church Team Dungeon after asigning the high ranks in the guild.

Fallen Church Team Dungeon was a 20-man Level 10 Dungeon. Dungeons were the main way to obtain equipment, recipes and forging designs. Clearing them would also give Guild Reputation and according to the guild system that Old Pat implemented, guild contribution points.

Those contribution points would be used by the guild members to exchange for items in the guild storage. It was actually a standard system that almost every guild used as it was simple and efficient.

Outside the dungeon, Level 12 Undead Priests where hunted by a team of twenty players, while another team with nineteen players waited nearby. This was one of the many dungeons around Star-Moon City and clues about it were just recently discovered through a hint of one of the guild memeber's quest.

As Leroy arrived, he received a party invitation from Fear Wave.

He accepted quickly.

"Alright let's begin" he didn't bother saying much as Old Ford opened the Hell Mode and everyone walked in.

Hell Mode of a dungeon could only be cleared once a day, while the Hard Mode limit was at ten. Most first-rate guilds were still struggling with the Hard Mode of the Level 10 Team dungeons, while only a handfull has cleared the Hell Mode of one.

System: You have entered the Hell Mode of the Fallen Church Dungeon

The team was teleported into a hall with thick pillars framing a wide path with enemies in between.

Fallen Priest (Elite Rank)

Level: 10

HP: 53,600/53,600

Cursed Monk (Elite rank)

Level: 10

HP: 90,900/90,900

There was at least ten groups of two priests and a monk in the path.

Zero Hits pulled his bow and shot an arrow that landed in the forehead of a priest.

-680

Inmediatly, two teams of monsters rushed at them while the tanks tightened their formation.

-750

-680

The monsters actually dealt a lot of damage to them. Still, the tanks only let themselves be hit to test the waters, casting skills to pull the aggro, they started evading the attacks. The three of them were Refinement realm experts while the leader was a Flowing-Water Realm, altough they may lack in stats, their techniques were definetly the ones of experts amongst experts.

Suddenly, behind a fallen priest, three shadows appeared.

-2,421

-2,132

-1,723

It was Eyeless, Heavensent and another assasin, the three of them attacked in perfect synchrony and retreated.

Thunder flashed as the Swordsman used their AOE skills, dealing over 2,000 damage each. The three priests lazily healed the MTs out of boredom as none of them were hit once again. While the Cursemancers would stop or slow the enemies.

There was no plan, no strategy, they just started beating the monsters as soon as they saw them.

Leroy drank a potion and started casting while looking at a monk who had half his health.

"Dark Fireball" "Dark Spear" "Dark Arrow"

-23,410 Critical Hit

-9,731

-8,856 Critical Hit

In an instant, the monk received more than 40,000 of damage and crashed into the ground due to the strength of the attacks.

Seeing this made the magic classes drop their jaws, 'did he just cast three spells at once? and just how high his damage is?'.

After being promoted to Tier 1, his overall attributes improved, a Tier 0 monster was definetly not his match, even if it was a Team Dungeon monster, the difference was like the heaven and earth. Even if his skills weren't really into Tier 1 yet, his class pushed them there, else they would be Tier 2 skills and the monk would probably be turned to dust even at full health.

Leroy didn't want to waste more time, he inmediatly summoned more than twenty skeleton warriors and six undead wolfs.

He activated Tyche's Path and his summons joined the battle.

Skeleton Warrior (Chieftain Rank)

Level: 26

HP: 42,500/42,500

-28,120

-29,135

-29,235

-63,785 Critical Hit

Huge amounts of damage were dealt everytime a skeleton warrior slashed with their sword, the might of a Chieftain Rank summon that was 16 Levels higher than them crushed priests and monks alike.

-98

-45

-130

The amount of damage received by the skeletons were pitifull on the other hand, the supression in levels and Tier was just too wide.

Seeing this, Ford, Jr, Robb and Mark gave him a gaze.

Leroy shrugged his shoulders, even he didn't expect his summon to be so powerful after his skill increased in Tier. He then commanded not to attack the creatures fighting players.

Even so, the dungeon couldn't continue as normal... everyone here tought this was just bullying the poor monsters, how was this a fight? It was a one sided slaughter. How as this a 20-man dungeon? Each skeleton were far stronger than a player, and there were more of them than players in the dungeon.

Ford and sons were a bit disappointed that the fights didn't last a bit longer.

Ignoring their feelings, Leroy and his undead summons pushed forwards, not willing to lose much time here.

This wasn't a power that someone at hiss Tier and Level should have, seeing this, it wasn't surprising why the Half-Moon Mage, Vlaric, was hunted down by gods and devils alike.
