Summoned to a world with only the ability to store stuff in storage then thrown into the world with only the basics. Just great they didnt even say why they needed us here in the first place.

"Even though we developed our own capabilities, we have never stopped buying character IPs. We have a huge place in the GOG creative area to showcase the character IPs we bought and to allow players to collect them," Bao Xu continued. 
"GOG world server is currently lacking in this area!"
"That's right, we are indeed lacking in that!" Min Jingchao said in realization.
"The character IPs we have bought until now are characters with a little influence locally, but none at all when it comes to overseas. These character IPs are foreign to them.
"Comparing the current GOG hero storage to IOI, they might have the advantage locally, but the reverse is true overseas. Players overseas might be more tolerant towards the heroes of IOI.
"That is a very crucial point that we have to address!"
Ye Zhizhou gave it some thought. "Then, what if we are to create an online GOG creative site?"
Min Jingchao shook his head. "No, GOG creative sites can only make good things on the precondition that there are enough players and that a large number of them participate.
"However, GOG does not have many overseas players now. We'll definitely not be able to gather good works if we are to make a creative site now. This money would either not be able to be spent or it would be spent meaninglessly.
"You should buy some international successful IPs!
"This way, it would have the same publicity effect as big-shot celebrities or even better because the target audience would be clearer. We can code these successful IPs into the game; it is much better than to get a celebrity to endorse it!"
Ye Zhizhou became excited. "Understood! As expected, this should be the answer that Boss Pei wants!"
Everyone discussed again and became even more convinced that 'buy IPs' was the best answer to Boss Pei's puzzle. It should also be something that Boss Pei had considered.
This 'buy IPs'' direction was the original principle from when GOG developed. It was now pushed into the world server and required an IP widely accepted by overseas players.
"Everyone, don't be too happy so fast. We have not fully deciphered Boss Pei's problem," Li Yada reminded everyone.
"We've decided to buy IPs, but how do we buy? Which one to buy?
"20 million US dollars will definitely not be enough if we were to buy those famous heroes since most overseas companies are eyeing them as well. The copyrights of those dramatized ones would be sky-high.
"Buying expensive big IPs will probably not be in line with Boss Pei's original intentions since Boss Pei never buys expensive big IPs locally.
"It's different from domestic markets. We have to get an IP that is influential enough for the publicity to have the effect."
Everyone entered a state of argument.
Finally, Li Yada suggested, "Therefore, we have two ways now. The first way is to buy two internationally successful IP; the second is to buy a large number of not so well known IPs that international players can identify with.
"Since we are unsure, we can send both answers to Boss Pei and let him decide."
Ye Zhizhou nodded and stood up. "Understood, thank you, everyone! I'll go back to do a simple investigation before we let Boss Pei make the final decision!"
… 
… 
August 10th, Wednesday…
Pei Qian received Ye Zhizhou's phone call not long after he woke up.
"Boss Pei, we have come up with GOG's international server publicity proposal! We want to buy some international character IPs to put them into the game!
"However, we now have a problem. Should we buy one or two famous international character IPs, or should we buy a few more character IPs that are not so well-known but will match international players' wants?"
Pei Qian thought about it for a while before replying. "The latter."
Such international character IPs would be too painful. Pei Qian was afraid that IOI would not be able to rival them. Such a worry might be strange, but it was not at all unreasonable.
The GOG game itself was already much better than IOI: a client-side game with reasonable fees and a whole load of character heroes. The game machine was easier to get used to and to spread.
Moreover, GOG was now being promoted overseas. There were two main points: its inability to adapt and the chances of its name spreading.
Unable to adapt was mainly from the fear of the hero's image not fitting overseas players' tastes and being unable to be localized.
Buying IPs could indeed solve this problem. However, if it was to purchase international famous IPs, Pei Qian was afraid that it would be too high-handed and kill IOI instantly. Then, he would not be able to spend money overseas as happily.
It was better to buy the smallest IPs and toy with IOI slowly. Using a blunt knife to slice the meat away little by little, it was much better for the fight.
Ye Zhizhou agreed, "Alright, we'll choose some more value for money and not so well-known character IPs. We'll report to you again after some time."
… 
Ye Zhizhou looked at Lin Wan and Wang Xiaobin excitedly after he hung up the phone. "Boss Pei decided! As expected, that is the right answer! We are unbeatable in deciphering Boss Pei's intentions when both of our gaming departments join forces!"
The Lin Family looked at the materials in her hands. "Don't celebrate prematurely. There is still a lot of work to be done. The United States has so many superhero characters; how are we to choose? Which one of these is suitable for Europe?"
Everyone could feel headaches approaching looking at the long list of heroes' names in English.
The appearance of superheroes could be traced back to the early 1930s. The list had grown astronomical throughout the decades of development.
Everyone had difficult choices to make:
The heroes that everyone knew were very expensive. Boss Pei decided not to buy them.
No one knew the cheaper heroes so how were they to decide if the international players would like them or not?
Who knew that these not so well-known heroes were not so well-known because they were developed at an inopportune time or because they were failures that no one liked?
It would be okay if it was the former, but if it was the latter, then it would be a waste of money by GOG to purchase such trash.
"Let's not think about the two biggest comic companies. They should be bought by all the big corporations for hundreds of millions of US dollars. We will not be able to obtain any advantage," Ye Zhizhou said.
"Moreover, their conditions will be very strict. What we can buy will probably just be for the game copyrights. Buying some lesser-known character IPs may work, but there would also be restrictions, and their prices might not be acceptable to use. Their price-quality ratios would be worse."
"Let's not consider them then; let's continue on." Lin Wan said.
"We… seem to be able to buy the third-largest comic company in the United States. There was news two days ago that they are going bankrupt," Ye Zhizhou said after he continued reading for a while.
Lin Wan instinctively felt something wrong and asked, "The third-largest comic company is going bust? What is their market share?"
Ye Zhizhou: "Less than 5%."
Lin Wan: "…"
Wang Xiaobin was taken aback as well and complained. "If the third-largest comic company does not even have 5% market share, then does that mean the United States only has three comic companies?
"Of course not, but that is what was indicated in the materials," Ye Zhizhou replied in a jolly manner.
"I can only say that it is the current status of the industry. The first two comic companies are humongous and have about 40% market share each. The third to the tenth companies share 10% of the market while the rest is shared by even smaller companies.
"These two companies have too many superhero IPs; the market is only so big. They release comics and movies. They are of totally different leagues from the other companies."
Lin Wan nodded. "Um, typical 80/20 market share. The big companies own 80% of the market share.
"No wonder, 'third-largest comic company in the United States' may sound scary, but in fact, they only hold less than 5% market share. Moreover, they have to fight with the two big giants before them. They must find it very difficult to fight. It's no wonder they are going bankrupt."
Ye Zhizhou took the laptop and quickly read the relevant information. "Yes, traditional comic styles are no longer popular. These huge comic companies earn money from movies. The comics are like huge inspirational storage where they could obtain materials at any time for a steady flow of movies.
"However, it would just be even more difficult for those that had a small market share but not able to afford to make movies.
"This Hurricane Comic Company has a few good points. They don't only use superheroes as materials. They are more diversified. A more diversified image is better for GOG as it would mean they have more choices.
"They have a few IPs that seem to be able to fulfill westerners' taste… for example, Purgatory Duke, Mutants, and Robocop.
"There was one thing very important: they had an international IP image… 20 years ago!
"The Multifaceted Man was made into a movie in 1993. They were nominated for many Oscar categories, but they did not win it. They invested 27 million US dollars and obtained a global box office of 340 million US dollars. It was top 4 in grossing for that year. The main actor's remuneration increased twenty-fold after he finished filming this movie.
"However, Hurricane Comic Company was not the investor so they did not obtain much benefit. That was its last glory. Their popularity was on a decline after that.
"It's just that… the good part is the character IP of the Multifaceted Man is still rather popular. Many westerners should find him familiar. More than half of Hurricane Comic Company's value is on this IP.
"It might feel like we are picking up from the trash, but I have to say that this trash feels rather worthwhile."


I really just want to lose money! T_T
Best boss ever, prodigy of the business world, genius creator, visionary of the century.
These are the descriptions used for Pei Qian, President of Tengda Corporation.
Ever since his rebirth, Pei Qian finds himself in possession of a system that rewards him if he manages to lose money.
Instantly, a brilliant idea comes to mind — making crappy games!
"If the game flops, all my investment cost will be lost!"
"How difficult can it be to lose money?"
Indeed... how difficult can it be?
------------------------------------------------------------
This book is highly popular in China and has set off a new trend. Webnovel has very high expectations for this book and has gotten the author to refine the first chapter as an exclusive for global readers. We hope everyone will enjoy reading it.

"‘Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal,’ released in 1996, collector’s edition. I can’t believe we have a copy. Actually, during my childhood, I had a copy, but I didn’t take care of it and threw it away.
"‘Warcraft II’ was awarded the ‘Best Multiplayer Game of The Year’ by PC-Game, and ‘Best Online Game of The Year’ by CNET. Blizzard Entertainment started being successful from there…
"Look, behind the packaging, there’s a preview of an upcoming game. That would be ‘StarCraft,’ which would become a future hit. Oh, and there’s also a part promoting ‘Diablo’—but why is it so small?
"Seems like Blizzard Entertainment didn’t have high expectations for ‘Diablo.’ However, it turned out to be a dark horse. Eighteen days after it launched, it had sold one million copies."
When it came to these games, Potter was not shy anymore. He spoke with confidence, and was knowledgeable on every disc.
After flipping through them, he said, "Alright, sirs. I would like to buy these, with confirmation that it’s all the original discs in them."
"After negotiating the price," Hans said, "you can open them for validation."
Potter asked, "How much would you like for them?"
Hans placed down his coffee cup and said in a firm tone, "I believe 25,000 is a reasonable price. Look at how well they have been maintained. With the age—"
"Alright," Potter said amiably, "if they are the original discs, then 25,000 it is."
Hans was about to let loose of a wave of logic and arguments, but in the end, he bottled it all up.
Li Du couldn’t help but laugh; he had seen that look from Hans before.
When they had first started working together, they picked up a Harley Davidson motorcycle from a unit and sold it to Cylinder Head. He was also like this: when Hans had stated his initial price, the other party accepted it immediately.
In fact, that was a negotiable price. The lowest he would go was 20,000.
However, the higher the better. Hans shrugged to Li Du and said with a bitter laugh, "I should have just said 50,000."
Potter clearly was one of those born with a silver spoon in his mouth; one could tell just from his clothes.
He wore an Armani casual shirt; just this piece of clothing could possibly be worth the combined cost of all the clothes Li Du had worn in his entire life.
Potter opened the games and checked the discs. He had a laptop in his bag. After putting the discs in, it revealed that they were functioning properly.
He randomly picked a few, and after validating that none of them had any issues, he said, "Nice working with you guys—tell me your account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you now."
It was indeed a pleasant deal.
Hans shook hands with him and said, "Thank you, buddy. I’m happy to have found a suitable owner for these discs. Forgive my bluntness, but only a handful of people are worthy of having them, and clearly you are one of those few."
Potter smiled politely and said, "I like to collect games discs and comic books. If you have any comic books that are worth collecting, you can also come and find me. I’ll give you guys a good price."
"Deal!"
After selling the game discs, what was left for them to sell was the old Winchester gun.
For the gun, Hans had also found a few potential buyers. The early morning of the next day they went scout out the place where the storage facility was.
Hans spoke as they traveled. "Movie storage units don’t belong to a storage company. Every movie company in the whole of America has their own facilities, each holding onto a huge amount of useful and useless stuff. Our job, is to find the useful stuff, and profit from it."
Li Du nodded, and said, "This storage company belongs to who then?"
"Warner Bros."
Li Du laughed and said, "They’re a colossus of the entertainment world—I hope they leave some scraps behind for us."
Warner Bros. was Time Warner’s flagship company, with their headquarters in Burbank and New York.
They were a powerhouse in the entertainment industry, with several other large subsidiaries much like Warner Bros. They were a television company, they did animations, home videos, games, and owned the CW Channel cable company.
Li Du had watched several movies from Warner Bros. In fact, the movies from this entertainment company had a strong influence in China. As long as a movie had "WB" in the opening credits, it was one of their works.
After setting out, the large stretch of units that they saw twenty minutes later, was their destination. Although the storage units of this entertainment company didn’t establish its own storage company, the scale of it was still huge.
"A total of 118 storage units: the large ones are over thousands of square feet, while some of the smaller ones are only a few dozen square feet. However, the smaller the unit is, the more valuable it is: those are the ones holding the special items."
Hans continued explaining to Li Du, "This time, almost half of the storage units here are going to be auctioned. I heard that Warner Bros. is going to set up a new subsidiary, so they are clearing out their storage to raise funds for a movie on heroes."
"What movie about heroes?" Li Du asked. "Didn’t ‘The Lord of the Rings’ series earn them a fortune?"
"Who would mind getting more money?" Hans said. "I’ve seen the news—it seems that they are planning to change DC comics into DC entertainment and venture into the movie industry, television, and other media industries to go against Walt Disney."
While Hans spoke, he also shook his head. "That doesn’t concern us, but according to the info that I heard, there is stuff from Batman and Superman."
The units were surrounded by walls. A few cars were parked outside, while some people were trying to look inside with their binoculars.
Hans laughed, "Those in the same business as us have come. See? The early bird gets the worm; looks like everyone understands that."
Using the binoculars to peek, Li Du couldn’t see anything useful. After he alighted, he waved his hand to let the bug out, and started examining the first unit.
There were 45 units to be auctioned this time, in the ascending order of unit 1 to 45.
The first unit was huge, with thousands of square feet of space. The inside was messy. After the bug entered, there was nothing in particular that attracted its attention.
There were some torn posters near the storage entrance. Li Du looked, and on them was a man with his arms outstretched, his head raised up toward the raining sky, his mouth opened in a scream.
This poster was famous. Without seeing the words printed on it, he knew what movie this was: "The Shawshank Redemption!"
Besides those posters, there was some other stuff from a movie set: wooden shelves, stone slabs, tables, chairs, doors, and windows. All of this was neatly organized, making it less difficult for the bug to examine everything.
After going around the unit once, Li Du finally found some things that seemed valuable.
On a shelf were a bunch of thin, plastic boards. There were patterns on them. Li Du knew these were all polystyrene splints, important props for "The Lord of the Rings."


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

"Akabane-san, if I'm not wrong, the Kurama Clan has the disadvantage for having a weak physique, right? and you know, the Uzumaki Clan was outstanding in the physical area… humm how about it?"
Shikai Uzumaki enthusiastically promoted his clan's excellence, "Can you imagine Akabane-san.. the Genjutsu specialty of Kurama Clan combined with the Sealing Jutsu of my clan…?"
"Ho ho ho… the descendants will be a top grade…"
Hiruzen laughed with a strange smile while also teasing Akabane.
Genjutsu and Sealing Jutsu!?
This is a good idea, and including the vitality of Uzumaki Cl…
"Wait, no! if we talked about the potential, it looks tempting, but I don't want to marry anyone right now!"
Akabane shook his head quickly.
He can't accept their proposal, even if it gives him a lot of benefits, Akabane simply can't agree.
"Maybe you want to take a stroll, the girls of our clan are well known to be the cutest, don't you agree?"
Shikai wouldn't stop halfway.
"Hey, hey hey, now that is too much!"
Tsunade had changed of expression. Her eyes moved back and forth between Akabane and Shikai
"No! once I said no, it means no!"
Akabane said firmly but looking almost about to cry.
"hehe, I do think that the Uzumaki's girls are pretty cute too…"
Orochimaru said it shamelessly.
Don't agree with him, Orochimaru!
Akabane glanced at Orochimaru with a murderous aura.
Shikai turned his head and said with a smile: "Hahaha, finally someone agrees with me, please find someone you would like to marry."
"Hey, what about me!?"
Jiraiya rushed from the back. But he just wants to see a lot of pretty girls without any intention to marry them.
Shikai glanced at him without saying a word.
"Hahaha, okay.. let's take the joke slide aside."
Hiruzen knocked his smoking pipe on the table, and the situation was suddenly quiet.
After a few seconds, Shikai felt a bit strange.
Isn't this Uzumaki village?
Then why does it feel that Hiruzen is in charge here!
After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage said: "You can send some of your clan's member to Konoha, I can volunteer to speak with the Daimyo on Uzumaki Village's behalf."
Shikai didn't answer, but he didn't need to point out the meaning
Konoha wanted to help, but it was extremely difficult to be afraid.
"It's pretty good to be able to keep some of our bloodlines…"
Shikai Uzumaki sighed, "Kazama just said that you have also brought a lot of comics?"
"Yes, Shikai-sama."
Kazama stood up nervously.
"You can use the small house by the gate as the storage, and I will send someone to arrange your accommodation."
"Thank you Shikai-sama."
Kazama ecstatically thanked him.
Akabane felt that this old man was in a hurry and was about to sneak away quietly.
Then he didn't expect Hiruzen would call him "Akaba, you will accompany me to stroll around the village."
"What!?"
What the hell!
Akabane looked suspiciously at Hiruzen. He must have to plot something.
"Sensei, how about us?"
Tsunade's tone was a bit jealous.
"Hunting."
Hiruzen said indifferently, "I will assign a shadow clone, and you can hunt the hiding invaders around the village."
Killing is something that a ninja will experience sooner or later.
Although they killed a few Chuunin last time, they might have been injured because of Sakumo and Murasaki's assistance.
"Yes!"
Orochimaru looked excited.
Now he is more interested in fighting than strolling in the village.
"Hmph, I don't need your clone's assistance, sensei! I can get rid of the invaders by myself."
"Huh again, acting like a fool."
The atmosphere, which was a bit dull before, quickly became lightened with a few words from Jiraiya.
Tsunade was in a bad mood, then just let it slide.
After watching them leave, Akabane asked confidently, "Shikai-san, sensei, where are we going to ?"
"We will visit my house first."
Your house?
Akabane stared at the patriarch Shikai, and then guessing that it might become a blind date with his daughters!
...
Konoha Village, Anbu Headquarter.
"Danzo-san, I brought you the 2nd volume of Akabane's comic."
Danzo's subordinate gave him a copy of the Naruto volume 2.
Danzo took it. There is no cover for this book. It was stolen from the printing.
He glanced at it and then asked, "How is the examination of the Jounin that was sent by the Hokage?'
"Hidden Mist's Jounin, he was proficient on the silent assassination, but lack on talent, so he was sentenced to do a suicide mission."
The Anbu reported the information that he found one by one.
Danzo tapped his finger on the desk and asked after thinking for a moment, "Is there no deeper information?"
"Not yet."
"Then, keep on monitoring!"
After giving the order, the Anbu disappeared, and Danzo opened the comic.
In the dark underground space of Anbu HQ, there was only the sound of flipping paper.
He scanned it. The content of the first few chapters was swept away, and he gradually stopped when he reached the 9th and the 10th chapter.
"In the Land of Waves, Konoha's exam system is so strict, how could there be mistakes on the grade evaluation?"
Danzo sneered, closed the comic, and then took out a map.
After analyzed it for a moment, he sat down and fell into deep thought.
The destruction of the Uzumaki Village is the main point, but if we can intervene in the Land of Waves, we can use it as a scapegoat…
There will be an inevitable war in the future, and Konoha will involve in it.
"The key is still in Uzumaki Village. The Uzumaki Clan is a valuable ally, and we can't let them be destroyed, at least not now…"
Danzo was secretly plotting in his thought.
Afterward, he turned his attention back to the Uzumaki Village.
"Hiruzen, when you come back, the Uzumaki Village will be a battlefield."
He is the Kage of Konoha. He can't stay there too long, because soon that place will be a battlefield between villages.
...
"Let me introduce you to my beloved daughter, Tsukiha Uzumaki."
Looking at the girl's beautiful eyes, Akabane felt nervous.
He is really offering me his daughter!
But she is only six years old, isn't that too much?
"Daughter, the comic on your hand, was drawn by Akabanii-san, do you like it?"
Shikai Uzumaki talked to her daughter while patted her head gently.
"Thank you, Akaba Nii-san."
Tsukiha grabbed the comic and thank sweetly.
"Ah.. yeah... It fine.."
Akabane covered his face.
With such a small child, Shikai has a willingness to match those two.
"Well, Akabane, can you take care of Tsukiha for a while. Hiruzen and I want to talk about important matters."
Shikai Uzumaki smiled treacherously.
"Yeah… I knew it…"
Akabane has helplessly accepted the request.
Tsukiha was very well-behaved. She sat down, holding the comic, and read it quietly while staring at the drawing.
At the age of six, she already recognizes most of the words.
Akabane stared at her for a few seconds, feeling a tingle in his heart.
To be honest, even though Tsukiha is still young, her facial features are pretty. As far as the loli state is concerned, she may be a little cuter than Tsunade.
Tsunade is slightly better in terms of appearance, but her brute strength and gambling addiction are really not compatible with Loli.
Tsukiha is different.
Cute small face, round eyes, red ha..
"Cough cough cough!"
"What's wrong Niisan, is your throat itchy? I'll pour you some water."
"Ah, no, I'm fine. You can keep reading."
Akabane hurriedly denied it while driving away from the dangerous thoughts in his mind.

I, Akabane was graduated from the university of arts & design in the 21st century then suddenly traversed into the Naruto’s world, by bringing my knowledge of arts and my love of Naruto comic I decided to recreate Naruto comic here…
[Ding! Comic System has been activated!]
Great! Ninjutsu? Kekkei Genkai?
As long as I can draw more comics, I would be unmatched!
…Or am I?

"Hidden Mist's Jounin, he was proficient on the silent assassination, but lack on talent, so he was sentenced to do a suicide mission."


The Anbu reported the information that they found one by one.


Danzo tapped his finger on the desk and asked after thinking for a moment, "Is there no deeper information?"


"Not yet."


"Then, keep on monitoring!"


After giving the order, the Anbu disappeared, and Danzo opened the comic.


In the dark underground space of Anbu HQ, there was only the sound of flipping paper.


He scanned it. The content of the first few chapters was swept away, and he gradually stopped when he reached the 9th and the 10th chapter.


"In the Land of Waves, Konoha's exam system is so strict, how could there be mistakes on the grade evaluation?"


Danzo sneered, closed the comic, and then took out a map.


After analyzing it for a moment, he sat down and fell into deep thought.


The destruction of the Uzumaki Village is the main point, but if we can intervene in the Land of Waves, we can use it as a scapegoat…


There will be an inevitable war in the future, and Konoha will be involved in it.


"The key is still in Uzumaki Village. The Uzumaki Clan is a valuable ally, and we can't let them be destroyed, at least not now…"


Danzo was secretly plotting his next move for the future.


Afterward, he turned his attention back to the Uzumaki Village.


"Hiruzen, when he comes back, the Uzumaki Village will be a battlefield."


He is the Kage of Konoha. He can't stay there too long, because soon that place will be a battlefield between villages.


…


"Let me introduce you to my beloved daughter, Tomiko Uzumaki."


Looking at the girl's beautiful eyes, Akabane felt nervous.


He is offering me his daughter!


But she is only six years old, isn't that too much?


"Daughter, the comic on your hand, was drawn by Akabanii-san, do you like it?"


Shikai Uzumaki talked to her daughter while patting her head gently.


"Thank you, Akaba Nii-san."


Tomiko grabbed the comic and thanked me sweetly.


"Ah.. yeah… It's fine.."


Akabane covered his face.


With such a small child, Shikai has a willingness to match those two.


"Well, Akabane, can you take care of Tomiko for a while. Hiruzen and I want to talk about important matters."


Shikai Uzumaki smiled treacherously.


"Yeah… I knew it…"


Akabane has helplessly accepted the request.


Tomiko was very well-behaved. She sat down, holding the comic, and read it quietly while staring at the drawing.


At the age of six, she already recognizes most of the words.


Akabane stared at her for a few seconds, feeling a tingle in his heart.


To be honest, even though Tomiko is still young, her facial features are very pretty. As far as the loli state is concerned, she may be a little cuter than Tsunade.


Tsunade is slightly better in terms of appearance, but her brute strength and gambling addiction are not compatible with this Loli.


Tomiko is different.


Cute small face, round eyes, red ha..


"Cough cough cough!"


"What's wrong Niisan, is your throat itchy? I'll pour you some water."


"Ah, no, I'm fine. You can keep reading."


Akabane hurriedly denied it while driving away from the dangerous thoughts in his mind.



I, Akabane was graduated from the university of arts & design in the 21st century then suddenly traversed into the Naruto’s world, by bringing my knowledge of arts and my love of Naruto comic I decided to recreate Naruto comic here…

[Ding! Comic System has been activated!]

A white room that seemed endless. All around me was...nothingness. I felt a pang of deja-vu as I looked around the room that seemed to have a blue tint towards the end of the endless expanse. A paradox, I guess. Maybe an illusion based on my perspective...I don't know.
This entire place reminded me of one thing:
A waiting room.
But the leather gauntlets attached to arms I didn't recognize--my arms, or rather new arms--told me that I wasn't here to wait for any wishes like in some low-quality fanfic.
I was here to fight something.
The sound of a horn shook through the endless white expanse I was in, the very fabric of the area in front of me shaking and making me feel nauseous. I fell down to a single knee, managing to see some blond hair falling down in front of my vision - I didn't have blond hair. I had brown-hair. What had changed? Why was my body different? And for God's sake, what the fuck is making that horn sound?!
As soon as my questions came to an end, even as my curiosity was still surging through my mind, the horn stopped and I could finally compose myself.
Multiple deep breath later, I finally found the balance that I'd lost from the shaking and stood up again. I looked around but something instantly caught my attention. In this land of white and nothingness, there was a massive screen that seemed to stretch kilometres wide.
It was completely blue with black writing across it. But what was written was what caught my attention.

...What? Isn't...isn't this like that manhwa 'Life Howling'? Kinda like a rip-off of 'The Gamer' but mixed with 'Terror Infinity'. It was an enjoyable read. Not the best grammar or art but the idea was interesting.
And this whole menu looks way too similar to the menu the MC of that comic saw when he first got sent to the white room.
If it follows the same route as that comic then--
*Growl*
My thoughts were cut off when a wolf-man appeared in front of me. Just a bunch of white energy dots that collected and formed it. It was wielding a club and was about 5 feet tall and was well-muscled though it wasn't bulky or intimidating and covered in muscle mass. It was obviously more built for speed and endurance than raw power as shown by it's lithe build.
On instinct, I felt my arms being brought up as I settled into a stance I'd never once got in before right now. Which pretty much helped me, along with the other pieces of evidence, confirm that this place was the same place from 'Life Howling'.
The status screen, the wolf-man, the instinctive ability to fight that coincided with one of the abilities shown in my status...it was all too much to be a coincidence.
Without giving me anymore time to think, the wolf-man rushed at me, it's club raised high. True to it's physique, it was incredibly swift and I barely had any time to react before I had to tilt my torso to the right, letting the club sail past my body harmlessly.
Again, from instinct and whatever the passive skill [Unarmed Combat Mastery] did, I whipped my fist out and the gauntlet I was wearing collided with the wolf-man's ribs, throwing him back.
A whimper came from the creatures snout and it actually seemed quite damaged by my attack.
I also noticed that the way I threw that punch was...odd. Odd because I'd obviously done movement I knew wasn't normally possible for a human. In the sense that the way I whipped my arm around shouldn't be possible with the way human joints work unless...[Serpent Physiology]. That skill probably gave me incredible flexibility. It seemed to enhance my strength as well because the wolf-man, despite being small, was still heavily muscled and should weigh at least 110lbs. Me being able to send it a metre or so back with a single punch was more than I knew I should be able to do.
Just what kind of weird body was I in at the moment? It felt like I was definitely in someone else's body right now. At least I was still in control, right?
Ducking again, I noticed [Quick Reflexes] was really putting in the work before I dropped to the floor, following what my instincts told me to do, and swept the wolf-man's leg out from under it, knocking it over with another whimper from it's snout. Especially when it's somewhat short snout hit the ground head-on, beginning to bleed.
Knowing what I had to do, I threw myself at the down wolf-man and positioned myself behind it.
I, ironically, slithered my left arm around it's neck and grabbed my right elbow, steadying the arm, before I began to choke out the wolf-man with my legs wrapped around it's waist and holding it's arms there as well.
I practically crushed it like a Boa Constrictor would and after a minute or two and a lot of thrashing from the wolf-man, it gave in and went limp.
Seconds after it went limp, it faded away into motes of light and I could finally relax.
Lying on the floor, I looked up at the white ceiling or maybe it was a sky? It didn't matter. I looked up and just regained my breath. It hadn't taken long and I'd only attacked it twice but I'd put my everything into that last move and it'd slightly tired me out. Especially now that my adrenaline was coming down.
But suddenly, I felt a calm and warm energy filling me, replenishing my stamina. Almost instinctively, I knew what this energy was. Qi.
Qi filled me and soothed my sore body until I was able to breath easy again. I sat up, feeling a different type of exhaustion. Again, I somehow knew it was due to my body running low on Qi.
Looking up, I saw the screen that was exactly the same as last time...except now I had 10 points.
Thinking I could finally test to see if it were exactly like 'Life Howling', I called out, "Show me all the things to do with Qi replenishment that I can afford right now," I said and near instantly, the screen changed to a sort of shop menu.
[Lesser Qi Replenishment Potion - 1P]
[Qi Replenishment Potion - 5P]
[Greater Qi Replenishment Potion - 10P]
It went on for a while, surprisingly, showing different types of potions that seemed to all have the same effects. But really, that wasn't what I was looking for. What I was looking for, however, didn't take too long to show up.
[Basic Cultivation Manual Lv1 - 10P]
Without waiting, I looked through it's info and upon confirming that it would allow me to replenish my Qi and grow it at the same time, I instantly brought it.
[Basic Cultivation Manual Lv1 - The ability to draw Qi in from the surroundings and temper the body while replenishing your own stores of Qi. When not being used to replenish the amount of Qi you've lost, it can be used to expand the amount of Qi you have.]
Said information and how to enter a meditative state to absorb Qi from the surroundings and how to pull it through my body, slowly tempering it before adding it to my Dantian either to expand my Qi storage or replenish what I'd used/lost. I quickly got into a lotus position and closed my eyes before breathing in the specific way it told me to. It felt incredibly natural to me and I don't know whether that was because of my class, the fact it was a skill I'd brought and now owned or both of those two things working in tandem.
Slowly but surely I became aware of an energy source that was apparent all around me. Like little motes of light. I pulled the motes of light toward me, slowly at first but ever so quickly building up speed and influence until most of the motes of energy, Qi, were flying toward and entering my body.
I pulled the Qi through my skin and saturated my muscles, veins, bones, nerves and flesh with Qi, strengthening it ever so slightly before I pulled the Qi toward where my Dantian was.
This was a single wave of Qi. If I had to quantify it, I'd used 70% of my storage to replenish my physical stamina and the wave of Qi I just brought into my Dantian was about 5% of my total storage. So I quickly got to pulling in more waves of Qi.
I quickly discovered that there was only a certain amount of Qi I could actually pull in. Whether this was due to the fact my Qi Manipulation ability was so low or because the Cultivation Manual I was using was only the basic one, I didn't know.
But it didn't matter. Ever so slowly, I replenished my Qi and slowly tempered my body at the same time. Though the tempering was very slight, it would eventually add up to something.
Why was I trying so hard? Because if this isn't an incredibly lucid dream, I'd just been thrown into what was practically a death game. I needed power and if this Cultivation stuff could help give me more power, then I'd do it as much as possible. Even after I'd filled up my storage, I continued trying to cultivate though it quickly came to my knowledge that expanding my amount of Qi was much harder than replenishing it, so I had to give up. Even after trying to stuff the Qi into my Dantian with wave after wave of the stuff, my capacity only grew by less than half a percent.
Guess that stuff about cultivation taking a while for normal people wasn't all lies in those Xianxia books, huh?
Chuckling to my own little joke, I opened my eyes before looking around...only to see that I was in a forest. Ah, shit, another cultivation cliche - the old 'I was cultivating so I couldn't sense any changes around me' shtick.
I heard a howl before two of the those wolf-men from earlier jumped out of the bushed in front of me.
Ah shit, here we go again...

Waking up in a white room, Tyler Williams wasn't quite sure what to do. That is until he saw a screen appear in front of him, telling his name, his 'class' and telling him some abilities he apparently had. The only thought that went through his mind after seeing this was:

“Wasn't this a lot like that manhwa 'Life Howling'?“

And just like that manhwa, seconds after he looked at that screen, Tyler saw a humanoid wolf spawn a few feet in front of him. He really seemed to be in some sort of game-like environment.

"Thud!'
I landed a little unstably on the ground and sat down, I am feeling quite tired, and my body is aching everywhere. The power of the First Burst is more than what I can handle right now; just a few seconds of use have let me all tired in body and mind.
This is the real reason I had started to go through the Torturous refining. The move provided me with an awesome burst of power, but it also has a strict condition, all of which I am barely meeting.
It requires not only a strong body and soul but also requires to have strengthened runes. I am refining my body and soul daily with cosmic water-rich energy, but I could not do anything about my Inheritance Strengthening.
First, Ive used everything I have during the assimilation; even though Ive found quite a good things subterranean that could help me strengthen my Inheritance by a little bit, I am not skilled enough to create a strengthening solution.
Till now, all the strengthening solutions I used were specially prepared by Tyrant level Alchemist. I use Tyrant Level Alchemist not just because I have access to but also because they have the expertise I need.
For assimilation, I could use any resource I want; it gets crushed and converted to energy for them to assimilate into my body, but the strengthening is different.
Each strengthening solution I use serves a specific purpose; if I use any material for strengthening, then my Inheritance would not be as strong as I want or work as I need it to be.
Its not that I need to have only special strengthening solutions for strengthening. Of all strengthening materials, I could use 30% of any materials I want, but 70% had to be specially made strengthening material.
The crown has produced something which I could directly use for strengthening. The material is so good I would not need Alchemist's help, and if I had an Alchemist, it would turn even more amazing.
The First Burst of Old Set may very be straining, but the power it displayed better than I had imagined; otherwise, the fight with the Apex Inheritance holder would not have ended this soon.
This Mantisman I had fought was especially tricky as it had speed in its hands; those with speed are very hard to deal with.
I rested for ten minutes before I got up and flew high till I see the crown tree at a distance. I have about eleven to twelve days in this ruin and will need four to five days to reach the Crown Tree, and for that, I will have to use significant speed.
I had measured the time by the distance, not to forget obstacles I will have to deal with the Grimm Monsters, better yet monsters.
The most dangerous aspect of Crown Tree is not, which is harmless itself or the exceptionally thick Cosmic Energy, which may be more than a hundred times denser than what I had expected in subterranean.
It is the monsters that are the most dangerous aspect of Crown Three. These monsters grew under Crown Tree are extremely dangerous. Far more dangerous powerful the Monsters of Subterranean.
Initially, I had planned to check a few sites before heading to the crown tree, but I decided to head there early. Getting the Crown Tree thing would not be very easy; many people have died, including Supreme Inheritance hosts.
If I got what I needed in time, I could always head toward the sites I had decided to check for the treasure, but before that, I should take the bodies of Grimm Monsters. 
Timp!
These are Prince Stage Grimm Monsters; they were average, but they will still offer shit loud of mana crystal. So, I quickly dumped them and about to move on when a sound was released from my storage ring.
I have heard this sound only two times; it only rang out when that thing appeared in my storage. I immediately looked inside my storage and saw that thing, on a specially assigned crystal shelf.
Miracle Fruit!
The Grimm Monsters have miracle fruit in their storage. When I stored their bodies inside my storage and automatically sorted it, it found the Miracle fruit and automatically pinged me.
I immediately took it out to observe it; it did not take me long to know that it is the most common type of Miracle Fruit. The level up one and seeing its level, it is for Dukes, if I ate it, it would directly help me reach the Prince Stage.
I am not an idiot enough to eat it; level up is not important to me, or at least until I made enough improvements in my armor. This Fruit will be very important for my strengthening; with the miracle fruit in my hands, the comic energy-filled water and herbs I got from the Subterranean, I have all the materials I need for creating the Strengthening Solution; the only thing I need is skilled Alchemist.
I already had no problem getting the Academy's resources from what I am providing the Academy with. With this me giving them Inheritance, I will demand any resources I want from the Academy.
Till now, I had been holding back on resources due to propriety, but now I will not. Academy had many rare and precious resources stored in a vault for thousands of years, and now they will all be for my expense.
As long as I need it, I will have it, and nobody will say no to be; not even a council will able to do anything against my demands.
I looked at Miracle Fruit for quite a while before putting it back into my storage and moved toward the Crown Tree.
I did not fly even though it will be much faster; like me, Grimm Monsters will also be going to Crown Tree, and seeing this forest is filled with dry looking short trees, flying will directly put a target on my back, which I don't want; undisturbed travel will make me reach my destination quickly.

Fina could care less about the two cranky men. She glanced at them as they walked in and didn’t look at them again. She would ignore their presence as long as they were not here to steal cats. In her eyes, humans were born to serve cats and everyone in this world should be her servant. 
She used to own countless treasures and jewelry. In most cases, small rings were not even up to her standards. The only thing that fascinated her was the bright, shiny stone mounted on the ring—the diamond. It was so pure and clear, yet flashed a dazzling brilliance. The radiance could drastically vary when looking from a slightly different angle.
Fina soon solved the mystery: the wonderful, luminous lights came from the extraordinary cut.  Even in the great era she used to live in, the most experienced craftsmen could not have made such a great piece of art. Every ray which came off the diamond was so straight, every edge was extremely smooth and every angle was very sharp. 
Although magnificent, she could also tell where the flaws lay. The rays were straight, yet some were shorter than others. The edges were smooth but the size of the edges were not exactly the same. The angles were sharp, however, the degree of the angles all varied. Those flaws were super tiny. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had owned numerous valuables before, she would not have been able to find the flaws right off the bat; instead, she might fall for its dazzles. 
When this diamond went through the cutting and grinding process, for some reason, there was a symmetry problem. There would be three reasons for that to occur: the artisan’s ability had reached its limit, the equipment had gone past its peak performance, or the stone wasn’t a perfect piece.  
It wasn’t difficult to figure out that all three contributed to the imperfection. Looking around the shabby pet store, she noticed it was very narrow. The whole store might be just as big as her bathroom in the heaven palace where she used to live. The ceiling was so low that people would worry about hitting their heads if they jumped. This was only a normal person’s residence. How could the owner of such a place obtain a top-notch diamond? A normal diamond would not deserve the use of the best instruments for processing, nor would it be able to attract the most elite craftsmen to work on it. 
In fact, it wasn’t Fina’s first time seeing a diamond. 
She had seen diamonds as early as the era she came from. However, diamonds were not called diamonds back then. They were called Adamas in Greek and they were in the form of original ore.
In that era, diamonds were famous for their hardness and they were useless for anything else. As a precious gem, the potential of diamonds had not been discovered yet because there wasn’t any equipment to process them. Even wrought iron or bronze was more favorable than diamonds at the time. Without going through the fine cutting process, the charm of diamonds would be hidden forever in the original stone and would never shine in the world.
This so-called rare treasure is a combined result of the precious gem crafted by a world-class artisan using the most sophisticated instruments. Only when all three key elements were in place could a masterpiece be born.
Fina once possessed countless treasures. She got them from wars, pillaging, and dedications from other tribes. 
When a king gives a normal person a precious prize, the prize might only be one of the treasures the King possesses; however, when a normal person gives you a valuable piece, it might be all he owns. 
So, she accepted his gift.
Fina loved shiny things.
She hadn’t told him that the so-called "shiny things" not only referred to treasures, but also included faith, courage, wisdom, honesty, friendship, romance, and so forth. All the beautiful matters in the world would be these shiny things she so loved. 
She was Fina Paris XIII, guardian of the immortal kingdom. She could care less about explaining her thoughts to the normal people. 
Just let the misunderstanding continue. 
…
Wang Qian and Li Kun cried like babies holding Zhang Zian’s thigh.
A man does not easily shed tears unless his heart is truly broken. Now that they found out a cat was treated better than they were, their hearts were completely shattered.  
Zhang Zian wasn’t touched at all. He pushed them away, one from each side. 
"What the hell! I just changed into clean pants this morning. My pants are not for wiping your runny noses! Are you guys skipping class?" He looked at them, speechless. 
Wang Qian wiped away his tears. 
Li Qian cleared his nose with his hand. As he was about to to throw the mucus on the ground, he noticed the cold eyes of the golden cat. He lightly patted on Wang Qian’s back and secretly wiped his hand off on Wang Qian’s shirt. 
 "Of course not, master. It is your order that we could not skip class. We dare not defy your command!" Wang Qian defended quickly. 
Li Kun was smarter. He pulled out his cell phone with the hand that just wiped off his mucus, found the class schedule from a whole bunch of files and respectfully showed it to Zhang Zian.  
 "Master, please look. We do not have class today," Li Qun told him. As he spoke, he figured he wasn’t correct. If there wasn’t class, where had they gone to this morning? 
Zhang Zian looked really quick and said, "Are you awake? Look at the schedule yourself. That is the schedule for the first semester. Now it is already the second semester."
Li Qun was nervous. He started sweating, swiping his phone rapidly trying to find the schedule from his photo folder. 
However, there were too many pictures in the photo folder. He could not find it after a long while. As a bumping mahatma, he had to save a great amount of Bao Zou Comics to fight with pictures against other people. That’s why he accumulated more and more comic pictures, which occupied the space for normal files… Of course, this was not Li Qun’s fault. It was the comic authors who created tens of thousands of comics that took away Li Qun’s storage space.  
It was weird. He could easily find any specific Bao Zou Comic picture for his comic picture fight. It was an intense fight every time. How come the mere class schedule disappeared?  
In the end, Wang Qian found the schedule. Wang Qian was a much more straightforward person, so the way he resolved problems was also straightforward. He downloaded a new one from the class’s BBS. 
 "Master, please take a look. We only had one big class this morning. We came after class!" Wang Qian handed over his cell phone as if he was handing over a gem. 
Zhang Zian had a quick look. It was true. They had one class in the morning and now they were off. "So how can you prove that you went to the early class and didn’t sleep in?"
"It is absolutely impossible," Wang Qian said affirmatively. "If we were to sleep in, we would be still in bed right now."
Zhang Zian was again speechless. He just wanted to slap them in the face when he saw them take this comfortable life for granted. Poor Zhang Zian had to get up early in the morning to clean cat litter and dog feces, groom the dogs and wipe the cats’ faces when Wang and Li were still deeply in their dreams. How was it fair to anyone that worked hard? 
The most critical thing was that Zhang Zian had also experienced that period in life. Now when he thought back, he regretted it from the bottom of his heart. Why did he spend the greatest time of life sleeping instead of chasing girls? That was the biggest reason why he was still a damn single to this day...

 “Soo…” A voice broke through the silence, which was Urkstin’s, who sounded like he was trying his best, “I think we should get to know each other better!” 

 “I don’t think that’s necessary.” Mia said, eating her breakfast while looking at the table. “That could just get us attached to each other.” 

 “Well, if we get to know each other better, wouldn’t that make us not want to hurt each other?” Urkstin retorted. 

 “Mr. Urkstin raises a good point, perhaps we should go along with this, at least as an experiment to see how we fare against it.” Liam explained, backing up Urkstin’s idea. 

 “I agree, we should try it out. I need to get to know you guys better.” Akira added on, leaning in on her seat. “What’s the topic Urkstin?” 

 “Oh, uh… how about our favorite things?” He suggested, “I can start!” 

 “Go ahead Ark Stine, I’m gonna need to think about mine.” Poppy prompted, rubbing her temples. 

 “Alright then… my favorite thing, excluding cars obviously, is probably painting! Even as a kid I always loved to paint stuff, and it was a good hobby of mine before I became a full time racer.” Urkstin retold, thinking back to better times. 

 “What kind of things did you paint?” I asked, interested in his ability. 

 “Well, the last one I remember making… was this blue and purple bunny that was holding a toy car.” He explained, while we all came up with our own ideas of what it looked like. 

 “That sounds… really cool looking.” Akira complimented, while Urkstin rubbed his head and laughed. 

 “Ah geez, it doesn’t look that good, from what I can remember.” He replied modestly, “But painting is my favorite non-talent related thing! Who wants to go next?” 

 “I may be able to go.” Liam muttered, raising his hand. We all turned to him collectively before he cleared his throat and continued, “I was an attentive collector of the properties of superhero stories.” 

 “...So you collected comic books?” Urkstin asked, making Liam turn his head away from us before nodding nervously. 

 “Oh, that’s cool!” Akira complimented, making Liam turn back in surprise, “How much do you have?” 

 “I…” He said, before returning to his uptight and overly explanatory tone, “I have collected all series in the marvel comic universe ever from 1939 to the present day.” 

 “That's impressive! You’ve collected all of that?” Poppy asked, her jaw agape, “Where do ya even keep all of that?” 

 “I used to have an entire closet dedicated to sorting and holding the comic books that I have collected over the years.” Liam explained, “It was a very useful room.” 

 “Well that’s not what I expected from you, but I’m glad I know Liam!” Urkstin cheered, smiling at the progress we had made, “Who wants to go next?” 

 “Well, I-” Risa started, seeming like she wanted to share, but was interrupted by the sound of the Loudspeakers turning on. 

 “Good Morning Contestants. I am here to announce that the paths leading from the infirmary and library hallways have opened up! You may explore them at your own discretion.” After that, the Loudspeakers shut off. 

 “Oh boy, more rooms for us to be trapped in.” Mia mocked, rolling her eyes, “If you all want to check it out, I’ll be staying here.” 

 “Well what about our friendship circle?” Urkstin asked, looking upset. 

 “We can continue that later Urkstin.” I replied, smiling and patting him on the head, “For now, we need to look for a way out of here.” 

 “Right!” Poppy said, as everyone stood up, and made their way out of the cafeteria, splitting off in the two different directions. I decided to follow the group going to the infirmary hallway, and caught up with them as they walked. 

 “What do you think is gonna be down this new hallway?” Akira questioned. 

 “Hopefully something cool and fun! Like an art room, or a playground.” Urkstin replied, setting his expectations high. 

 “Why would a prison have a playground?” I asked, snickering at the idea of inmates playing in a jungle gym. 

 “Well you don’t know, this guy behind this is wild! Who knows what they could throw at us next.” Urkstin retorted, bringing up a good point. 

 “Well, we’ve yet to see an office, or storage room, or any sort of job area so-” I started, before Akira interjected. 

 “So the next motive’s gonna be jobs! Obviously!” 

 “I…” I tried to respond, but couldn’t be bothered to start thinking about the motives again. 

 “Think about it though,” Akira continued, “If they like, give us taxing jobs like lugging around logs of wood or something, that would tire us out and stuff!” 

 “And you think that would eventually break someone?” Urkstin inquired. 

 “I dunno, maybe.” She answered, shrugging her shoulders. As we finished our small talk about hypothetical motive jobs, we had reached the cell door past the infirmary, and opened it slowly, following the winding set of hallways towards our newest area unlocked. 

 “Please be an art room, please be an art room.” Urkstin chanted, crossing his fingers as we walked. 

 “Please no jobs, please no jobs.” Akira joined in. 

 “Please stop chanting, please stop chanting.” I finished off our triple chant choir, as we reached an open doorway into a new area, and as we walked in, we all collectively took a gasp of fresh air. 

 The area in front of us was a courtyard, with a large open field of grass, with fauna like rocks, flowers, and even a tree covering the area. As I looked up in disbelief, I noticed how there was no ceiling! Instead, there was a large open space for the grass and fauna to collect the sunlight they need, alongside water from the rain. 

 Unfortunately, there were metal bars covering the length of the sun roof, preventing the idea of escaping through there from coming into my head. 

 “Yo! Maybe we could get out of here through that sunroof!” Also unfortunately, Akira and Urkstin did not have the same realization as me, as she threw out that idea. 

 “Ohhh, you’re right! If we get like some rope or a ladder, then-” Urkstin tried to offer help, but I was quick to shut the operation down. 

 “That won’t work, sadly.” 

 “How do you know that?” Akira shot back, putting her hands on her hips. 

 “Well, for one, those bars covering the sunroof are spaced so closely together that we wouldn’t be able to squeeze through if we made it up there,” I started to explain, pointing to the distance between the bars, “Secondly, the roof is like… eighteen feet off the ground, so it’s gonna be pretty hard to get up there in the first place.” 

 “You… have a point.” Akira muttered, losing her sense of excitement. 

 “Well, it’s good to have sunlight regardless!” Urkstin responded, keeping his optimism. “Maybe I can get a tan here!” 

 “Maybe.” I replied, snickering at his playful tone. It was then that I took a moment to look around the field, noticing something. “Hey uh, I think this is the only room over here.” 

 “Huh?” Akira and Urkstin both searched around as well after hearing that, also coming up short. 

 “Well, that’s upsetting,” Akira remarked, “But there is always the other hallway that opened up.” 

 “Awww, but that’s like all the way on the other side of the prison.” Urkstin complained, letting out a grunt of frustration. 

 “Hey, look on the bright side,” I assured, patting him on the back, “There might be an art room over there.” 

 That seemed to get him perked up, as he soon rushed out of the courtyard, leaving Akira and myself to pick up the pace and catch up with him, while he was well on his way towards the library.﻿

11 Students wake up in a completely isolated building, with no way out, and no way to tell the time of day. They are forced to follow the rules of a "Killing Game' in order to earn their freedom, where murdering means a potential escape. From personal tensions and handpicked motivations, will they be able to find a way out before they all drop dead?

A guild's name needs to be chosen wisely because it represents the identity and values of a guild. A good name can make the guild stand out among the others and be recognized by the player. The best choice would be a name that represents the players' vision, is cool sounding, is a symbol of power and prestige, and also unique. A poor name choice can become an obstacle to the guild's development, bringing trouble while recruiting or even drive players away. A guild called Loser, for example, will hardly prosper in a game because no elite player would like to be known as a Loser's guy. Silly and funny names can attract players but they are usually weaker than others and rarely get any amazing achievements. There are exceptions, but very few cases.
Ye Yan and his three best friends had discussed the guild name before and decided on two names. They thought about the possibility of the first name already been used, then they thought a second option is needed for precaution. If at the moment of the registration, they didn't come out with a suitable name and give up registering, the Adventurers' Guild will not return the coins paid for the service, it will be kept as compensation for their lost time.
When the manager asked them about the guild's name, Ye Yan answered with the first name they chose.
"The name of the guild will be Proud Wanderers." Ye Yan told her smiling proudly as he thought about how great this name is. The ten party members approved of it as all of them are fans of the novel that gave rise to the films entitled "Swordsman". The first movie of the franchise was remade in 2086 and continues to be a success until now.
"Wait a moment. I will ascertain the availability of this name." The manager said while standing up and went to the bookshelf to get the book with every guild registered in the Adventurers' Guild until now.
"I'm sorry. This name is no longer available." The manager looked for the name in the book and said when she found it.
The look on the face of every one of Ye Yan's team was so sad and full of regret for being late that anyone can see how sorrowful they are feeling. The NPC manager looked at them with pity when she saw the grief write all over their faces. People at a funeral would be more lively than them.
"Please choose another name. I am sure the next name will bring more success to your guild." The manager said as if coaxing a child.
"The name of the guild will be Immortals". Ye Yan told her worriedly. They had only chosen these two names and if this is already used too, he doesn't know what to do. Should they chose another one on the spot or lose the gold coins that had costed a little fortune? The name Immortals is more popular than Proud Wanderers and the probability of it be unavailable is bigger than their first choice.                                                                                            
"Let me check." The manager looked at the book again but, luckily, it wasn't there. When they heard the manager say the name is available, all ten of them breathed a sigh of relief.
 "Are you sure this is the name you want for your guild?" She asked to make sure. When they answered affirmatively, she registered the new guild on the book.
When Tang Yunfan come up with the name Immortals, Ye Yan liked it right away. This name made him remember the Legend of the Eight Immortals [1] and it means someone that became a god[2] through cultivation but Tang Yunfan inspiration in choosing it was the Highlander movies, in which, equals to its main character, also looks immortal. There are 110 years since the release of the first movie in 1986 and it is still popular. Tang Yunfan is a big fan of American movies then all his ideas taken from them.
From this moment on, they are members of Immortal Guild. Ye Yan is the Guild Leader because he always has been a kind of leader in their inner circle. Hu Ling aka Spell Bound is the treasurer of the guild and one of the Vice Guild Leaders together with Dovakin.
After finishing the registering procedures, they went downstairs. Even after getting an imposing guild name, Mad Dog was still sad because he really likes the name Proud Wanderers.
"It's a pity that we couldn't be called Proud Wanderers..." Mad Dog said sighing.
"Yes. Now we can't use 'A laugh on the blue sea' as our theme song. Truly a pity." I Love Skooma said it and started to sing and soon after, the others started singing too.
.
The blue sea is laughing,
the tidal waves are surging up on both shores
Drifting along with the waves,
I only remember today
 
The blue sky is laughing,
the tidal waves of human society are numerous and complicated
Who will win, who will lose,
only Heaven knows
 
The rivers and mountains are laughing,
the misty rain is far away
How many temporal affairs in human society
have the waves erased?
 
The pure wind is laughing,
unexpectedly provoking feelings of loneliness
The magnanimous feelings still remain
..............
 
The common people are laughing,
no more loneliness
Yet the magnanimous feelings in me are still
laughing crazily [3]

.
Right after they started singing, a bard appeared from who knows where playing a yueqin[4]. The team singing and the bard playing his musical instrument made the atmosphere of the Adventurers' Guild become livelier. Soon, the guild employers and everyone else that was visiting the guild got into the mood and start to sing along with them or clap to the rhythm of the music. They never thought their singing would get such an outcome. 
The Adventurers' Guild looked more like a tavern from fantastic stories now than a real tavern in the game. Some dwarves sat on a table in the corner were cheering with beer mugs in their hands. A real dwarf never stays away from their elixir of life for long. Where you see a dwarf, there is beer next to him, inside or outside of the battlefield.
This situation proved, one more time, how advanced the NPCs A.I. is. 
When the music end and they were going the sing another one, one of the Adventurers' Guild managers, an elf with a stern face, used the spell [Silence] to shut everyone up.
"This place is not a tavern. Please refrain yourselves." He said out loud to everyone to listen and looked in Ye Yan's party direction. "It is forbidden to sing in this place. If such a thing happens again, punishment will be given to the offenders." The elf said it with such a cold look that they feel chills through their bodies.
"Sorry. It wasn't our intention to disrupt things in the guild." Spell Boud said amiably to the other elf. He thought that as the elves are usually haughty, they should prefer to speak with someone of their race.
After the elf manager dismissed them, they went out of the guild feeling ashamed but smiling at the same time. Starting a party inside the guild was a very exciting experience that they will not soon forget.
Establishing their guild and commotion later made them forget to ask in the guild about the reward for the first clear of the Hell mode dungeon that they were promised. But now that they were almost kicked out of the guild for causing a commotion, they decided to wait to receive their reward. There is not a time limit to get it anyway.
Now that the guild is registered, they can start recruiting players, then Spell Bound, taking advantage of their current fame gained clearing the Hell mode of White Birch Mountain Forest, wrote a recruitment notice on the forum hoping to attract strong players to their guild.
While Spell Bound was work on recruiting, Ye Yan went to the Bank to open the guild storage, Conan went to put the surplus items they got for auction House and the others went to the City's Hospital to look for quests.
After opening the storage in the Bank, Ye Yan finally took a look at the Wonder Potion Recipe he got from the Goblin Chieftan.

[1] The Eight Immortals are a group of legendary heroes of ancient times who fight for justice and vanquish evil, according to Chinese mythology. They appeared in many stories nowadays. There is mention of them in video games like Fear Effect 2 (2001) and comic books. They help the Collective Man (Chinese hero - mutant) protect China in the X-Men comic book.
[2] The Chinese gods and immortals are two different entities altogether. The first are beings that have nothing to do with mankind and lives in the sky to rule the world.  The immortals were humans that become "gods" through self-cultivation, mix with ordinary people, and can travel between this world and the world beyond. 
[3] A laugh on the blue sea is the theme song of the movie Swordsman (1990).
