Uproar in Forum
Chapter 45
All the player's presents were dumbstruck, their jaws are wide open, and have bloodshot eyes.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THAT DAMAGE?!"
"Who? Tell me the name that sliced the monster's body?!"
The location where the previous Town Hall stood proudly was sent to uproar when they saw the damage dealt to the monster once the luster sword sliced its body in half.
But they weren't able to fix their gazes on the NPC that produces that damage due to shock and even before they could react, this time another group of players run towards the Special Monster and landed the last hit.
Before their surprises subside, another notification was sent to them and prompted.
[Japan Server: Congratulation to Sally of Sky Heaven Guild for landing the last hit on the Special Monster. Special rewards that include monetary rewards and items already sent to the player's inventory]
[Edo Kingdom: Congratulation to Sally of Sky Heaven Guild for landing the last hit on the Special Monster. Special rewards that include monetary rewards and items already sent to the player's inventory]
[West Town: Congratulation to Sally of Sky Heaven Guild for landing the last hit on the Special Monster. Special rewards that include monetary rewards and items already sent to the player's inventory]
Three notifications were prompted on their system's interface.
The players who participated until the end can only feel regret.
The Forum once again was sent into an uproar, not only in the Edo Kingdom district but to the totality of Japan.
Plenty of posts regarding the Major Events are fighting for the top placer. The forum was flooded with millions of reactions and comments in a different post. But what stood above all is the video clip that dealt 20% damage to Special Monster. The video was played more than 2 million times instantly.
The post regarding the Special Monster ability which reincarnation consumed 250 MP also caught the attention of players. Now they start asking the question if the game progress to such a degree, is it possible that high-level bosses will also get this ability? If they are, then this game becomes harder than the players anticipated.
Usually, only the final boss has this ability but now even other bosses?
Many players posted their opinions in the comment section. But the players' opinion varies from one to another.
"Only those weaklings are afraid to face the boss with such ability."
"I hope you encounter one and killed you in a way you cannot imagine once the dungeon system takes effect."
"Brat. Even if you sided with the boss the has reincarnation ability, I will just slap you both to your death."
Meanwhile, the Japanese Government Community and hundreds of Core Groups quickly took an action. They are both in disbelief and fear start to sprout in their heart. How could they not? There is one Core Group that was able to participate in an unforeseen Special Event and received special rewards aside from the normal rewards!
Different Core Groups are in chaos and start preparing to depart and investigate the shabby West Town! Who would think that the shabby Town hosted a Major Event?
"Quickly! Investigate the West Town. I need to know the name of every player living there. And give me the report about Sky Heaven. Where is it? It's been hours since I requested that report?!" Guild Leader.
"How's the Sky Heaven? Have they sent a response to our message?" Guild Leader from another Core Group.
"How much do you think Sky Heaven will sell the special rewards?" Guild Leader from another Core Group.
"Damn it! Where is the Guild Leader?"
"Vice Guild Leader, the Guild Leader is currently in the Love Hotel!"
"What the?! Quickly bring him here! Of all the time he can do his session, he chose to do it now. What will happen if our backing inquires?!"
All these Core Groups are shocked to their bone and in chaos but there is one particular Core Group that felt more devastated than anyone. This Core Group is none other than the rival of Sky Heaven in the Amethyst City, Bone Shade.
Inside the quiet and dimly lit Hotel Room, the Guild Leader of Bone Shade just finish destroying things in the room.
Broken furniture and bases are scattered everywhere. Even the lampshade and the bathroom door are not spared.
"How! How has Lina predicted it? No, it's not possible. They were quiet all the time during the time they depart. It means they know from the beginning?!"
The Guild Leader of Bone Shade is known as Bran Wen.
He navigates his system and ticks his information.

Bran Wen clutches his fist so hard that his nail scratches his palms and blood freely oozes from the wound it created.
"Here I thought I was already far ahead against Lina!"
He navigates his system again and reads the information about his Guild.
[Bone Shade Group]
Guild Leader: Bran Wen
Vice Guild Leader: James
Total Member Count: 1,000
"To think my Guild that has a member of a thousand players became far behind the Sky Heaven with only 300 members!"
Bran Wen is a proud young Lord of a wealthy family that produces tycoon after tycoon, generation after generation. He is so proud that he wants to show his family that he can become a millionaire as well. So when he reached maturity, he cut himself off from his family's wealth and strive to earn money without his family's help.
Due to being resilient, year after year, he was able to become a millionaire. And then after learning about virtual reality games, he didn't hesitate to invest all his wealth in them. Just after a couple of years, when the first launch of Kingdom reach an 80% synchronization rate, his return on the investment made him a billionaire within a year.
His investment in the virtual game didn't stop there. He invested half of his entire wealth in Kingdom again but was rejected due to the company itself can supplement its own shortcoming. That is to be expected, after all, they became the mainstream of virtual games and they started cutting off their relationship with their previous investor.
As a proud man, his pride was hurt. He may want to take revenge by building his own company of virtual games but the company that created the Kingdom is by no means a weak company that he can coax the employee inside to sell him the blueprint.
Besides, it was broadcasted all over the world that the company is being protected by international law due to the intervention of governments around the world. Even if he teams up with his family, there's no way they can win.
So while the company develops the Kingdom for the second time, he put his attention to other mainstream virtual games and earns a lot.
He also created his own core group that was financed by himself as well. Through connections and the power of money, he was able to pouch veteran and elite players in the world of virtual games by giving them generous salaries and benefits.
After a couple of months, his Core Group got it big, they were able to be included in the top 5 thousand core groups all over Japan. This is quite a feat, after all, there are more than 10 thousand core groups in Japan alone.
His next goal is to be included in the top one thousand core group internationally.
But that was when he met his rival. Sky Heaven.
In another virtual game, they declared war on each other and destroy each guild's residence and domain. He thought he can easily destroy the small guild but the Sky Heaven proved to be strong as well. After all, like his guild, the Sky Heaven is also included in the 5,000 core groups all over Japan.
His Guild and Sky Heaven Guild become rivals, they were also broadcasted one time when one famous commentator in the virtual game noticed that there are two particular guilds that are always on each other's throat.
And right now, the Sky Heaven in this top 1 virtual game was able to participate in the Major Event and get special rewards for themselves.
Who knows what kind of rare item or equipment they received?
How envious!
That is when he received a notification, a call from the Vice Guild Leader of Bone Shade.
"James. Have you received intel about the special rewards?"
"Guild Leader, according to my investigation, there are rumors that the special rewards contain 1 gold coin, dozens of upgradable basic equipment, and items. And a couple of upgradable intermediate equipment and item."
Bran Wen's eyes dilated and cannot help but curse.
"Are you certain?!"
"We are not certain yet, but according to the intel, our investigation team overheard the players that participated in the Major Event discuss the special rewards which they heard from the official guild member of the Sky Heaven Guild."
"Are you kidding me?! That's called gossip and rumors! Investigate them properly and how they were able to learn that the unforeseen Major Event will take place in that shabby town!"
"But Guild Leader… We already spent more than 30 Silver Coins on Teleportation Scroll alone aside from the expenses we have to pay for the information… I-I am afraid that our fund will deplete…"
"James! Who I am? I am a billionaire in the real world. Once the currency exchange system took effect, I can buy coins in bulk. I do not care how much coins you need to spend just to get the correct information! Do it and do your job perfectly or else you can bid farewell to the Vice Guild Leader position!"
Bran Wen heard James from the other line gasp.
"Y-Yes, Sir! I will get this job done!"
"Very good. And bring more people to West Town. I don't care how many coins you needed. The more guild members, the better. Have them keep a lookout on quests and advice the other guild member to keep an eye on Sky Heaven."
After saying his piece, Bran cut off the line and slumped his body on the soft bed of the Hotel Room.
He shouldn't belittle Sky Heaven from now on. And he must discover the truth about the Sky Heaven's departure and participation in the Major Event.
And for that, he already has a lead. Sally, the gorgeous Vice Guild Leader of Sky Heaven. Ever since the party quest was triggered after an hour before the official launch, Lina send her Vice Guild Leader to investigate West Town which lead to the current situation.
Whether he likes it or not, this was his entire fault, and cannot blame his guild members to vent his frustration. That was why he vent his frustration in destroying property in this Hotel. If he only sent people as well and investigate, he might be the one that lands the last hit and receive the Special Rewards!
He was just about to take a nap to escape from this nightmare for the time being when a notification was sent to his system.
[Warning: Due to destroying other's property, the Hotel Owner called the Authorities and currently waiting in the lobby. If you do not pay the appropriate price for the destroyed property, you will be imprisoned. Please, pay the appropriate price immediately.]
"Argh! For pity's sake!"
Bran Wen can only curse out loud.
