Kingdom of The Golden Phoenix

--- Glimmertree City

The city was currently not what it used to be. All of the citizens of the city were still under evacuation on the nearby forest.

The ones in the city right now were King Balor and the knights who survived. There were only 300 of the knights remaining, and luckily, the two knights in golden armor also survived.

"My king, just what were those demons? Where did they even come from..." One of the knights approached King Balor and asked while shuddering in fear.

"I don't know. But the important thing is that we evacuate immediately and head to Greengarden. The royal family must know of the demons presence." King Balor said. Just as he was about to lead his men outside the city again to head towards Greengarden...

"You alright king Balor? Need any help?" Jay suddenly arrived and was heading towards the center of the city, to teleport himself back near the Golden Phoenix guild hall.

"You're alive?! How?!" King Balor immediately jumped of his horse and touched Jay all over, checking if it was really Jay and not some ghost.

"Ummm... King Balor?" Jay was really freaked out and wanted to punch King Balor away from him.

"How? I saw you getting punched by a demon over and over again..." King Balor still remembered how strong one of the brown-skinned demons were, but he saw Jay getting beat up by a gray-skinned demon. He really did not know how Jay was still alive.

"King Balor, can you please help me with something?" Jay asked since this might be a good opportunity for him. An opportunity to let the kingdom of Wildergreene know of the planar invasion.

"As long as that favor has something to do with me going to Greengarden, then sure. But if not, then I am sorry for not being able to help you." King Balor said since he really needed to tell the royal family learn of the demon matter.

"Don't worry. I know you witnessed the power of those demons first hand right? I just want you to spread the word about these demons, and if possible, tell it to the royal family at Greengarden. And if they do not believe a word you say, tell them that Jay Castle fought with these demons beside you."

Not even waiting for King Balor to reply, Jay immediately used Shadow Phase Rush to move past the knights and went to the central area of the city, where the tree with the rainbow-colored leaves was located.

"Same destination as before." Jay said as he touched the tree. A portal was created in front of him and he stepped inside of it.

...

--- Golden Phoenix Guild Hall

"A portal?" Yale was currently keeping watch outside the guild hall, then he suddenly saw a portal appearing near the guild hall. He then saw Jay stepped out of it.

"Jay!" Yale quickly rushed towards Jay and greeted him.

"Hey. Can you help me distribute the guild emblems in our storage to everyone present in the guild hall. For those who have it, just ignore them and give it to someone who does not have it." Jay said as he suddenly used Shadow Phase Rush to get on top of the guild hall's roof and sat down there, waiting for something.

"Jay's acting really weird..." Yale thought to himself and told everyone Jay's command through his guild emblem.

...

After a couple of minutes, the guild members finished distributing the guild emblems to the people working for the guild. At first, these people thought that they were recruited as official guild members, but Roasted Boar told everyone that Jay just probably wanted to say something to everyone. And he was right.

"Everyone. I hope you listen very well to what I am about to say." Jay immediately spoke through his guild emblem and revealed everything he knew about the planar invasion happening.

...

After a few minutes when Jay finished telling everyone about the planar invasion...

"Now, onto the plans I decided together with the core members of the guild. We decided to turn our guild into something bigger and better. We decided to form a kingdom of our own. The Kingdom Of The Golden Phoenix. The guild emblems everyone has right now shows that you are part of this kingdom, and you are the very first citizens of this kingdom!"

When everyone heard this, the core members were surprised with Jay's decision to push through this plan already. As for the rest, they had their own thoughts about the matter, but everyone had positive thoughts about the matter and they wanted to shout out in joy.

"But for now, I want to everyone to keep this a secret until I say otherwise. I still have one last thing to do and something to talk about with the core members of the guild. And everyone can also return to what you were doing before I gathered everyone."

...

A few moments later, when everyone went back to what they were doing. The people working for the guild returned to their settlements to work. As for Jay and the core members, they were gathered at the library of the guild.

Guild Library...

Everyone was seated around a long table again. The only one who was not present was Lydia, who was still probably in Izumi's Garden.

As for Bloody Harvest, Boras, Abby, Annie, and Heda, who were injured, they were also present.

"Everyone, sorry for this immediate gathering of ours. But I need to tell you about the future plans of our kingdom." Jay paused for a bit before continuing.

"Our first and primary goal is to rally every player out there. It does not matter if they belong to a guild or not."

When everyone heard this, they did not know why Jay set this as their primary goal, but before Roasted Boar could ask Jay why, Jay continued speaking.

"Our secondary goal. We will also rally the NPCs if possible. And if these two goals are achieved, we will move on to the next phase of my plan."

"Jay, just what exactly are you planning?" Roasted Boar immediately asked since Jay was really acting weird again.

"Kingdom of The Golden Phoenix. The kingdom dedicated in killing the planar invaders and protecting the Fatelord Plane." Jay said loudly.

When everyone heard Jay's crazy plan to fight against the planar invaders, they were all naturally opposed to it. The one who said their opposition to this plan was Bloody Harvest.

"Jay! Why are you doing this? You know that we ain't sh*t out there when we fight against these planar invaders!"

But before everyone else could say out their complaints, Jay slammed his palm down on the table, shutting everyone up.

"I know it's crazy, but I have a plan that will allow us to fight these planar invaders. In truth is, I can already fight these bastards head. As for everyone else, I have a plan. You remember that there are 2 godlike beings in my soul right?" Jay said and asked.

"Don't tell me you are going to magically let them out of your soul and let them fight." Abyssal Angel said with a bit of sarcasm in her tone.

"Indeed. That is what I am planning to do. But besides that, I will also let them train everyone who wants to take part of killing the planar invaders with me."

...

--- Jay's Soul Space

"What?!!"

Hellson and the Chicken Lord shouted. They were just speechless when they heard Jay's crazy plan.

"Jay wants to build a kingdom... to defeat the planar invaders. And he said he was going to let us out of his soul..." The Chicken Lord repeated this to himself over and over again just to make sure he was not hearing things.

Then suddenly, Jay's voice spoke to them.

"I hope the both of you agrees to my plan. As for how I am going to get you both out of my soul space, I need something called as the 'Shadow Puppet.'" Jay paused for a bit before he continued.

"Hellson, was the location of the three Shadow Puppets the same with the one in Dungeons and Towers of Fate?"

"Yes. The only thing that is not similar to the lore I wrote in Dungeons and Towers of Fate are the future events and the different changes that can be caused by you and the players." Hellson said.

"Hey, what exactly is this Shadow Puppet?" The Chicken Lord asked Hellson and Jay.

"A puppet without a form. A puppet entirely made out of magicka. The Shadow Puppet only works when it is possessed by something. As for the one possessing the Shadow Puppet, his or her power will be reduced by 20%." Hellson answered the Chicken Lord's question with a frown on his face.

"But the downside of the Shadow Puppet is that it shortens the lifespan of the one who owns it. If Jay really plans to control two Shadow Puppets and let us possess these, then Jay will only have around 10 years left to live..." Hellson said and thought, "Jay... I hope he isn't just rushing things just because he learned how to leave this reality."

...

--- Rooftops

The moment Jay finished up speaking, he quickly used the Free Space Movement ring to teleport himself back on the rooftop of the guild hall.

"Now, I should wait for nighttime and recharge my Moon Warrior form before heading out." Jay thought to himself as he took a nap.

...

--- Guild Library

"Hey, is Jay really alright? It feels as if he became different than before..." Hot Buns asked everyone, who was still thinking about the things Jay said.

"Well, we don't really have much of a choice since he is our guild leader, and about to become our king." Roasted Boar said as he stood up.

"Come on. Let's just do everything we can to improve this newly found kingdom of ours."

After that, all of them left and did whatever was there to do.
