"Helping the Sanguine Alliance?" Everyone gasped: "When did Sanguine Warflag even ask you for help?
"Sanguine Warflag hasn't asked me to help him, not yet. But he did send me a message asking me out for a round of drinks. If my guess is correct, he's going to ask me for help." Fearless shook his head and explained.
"When did they acquire another title deed?" Wang Yu asked.
"They didn't! It's definitely that one!" Fearless said.
"Didn't Sanguine Warflag say that they wouldn't be able to complete the headquarters defense quest? When did he change his mind?"
Wang Yu clearly remembered the downcast look on Sanguine Warflag's face when he had received the title deed previously.
"It's not like they have any other choice..." Fearless chuckled.
"No choice? Weren't they going to sell of the title deed and buy another one?"
"That was the original plan. But if you think about it logically, there really aren't that many guilds that could complete such a quest. Who would even buy it?" Fearless stated.
"Oh, so that's the case..." Wang Yu nodded in agreement.
There were only two ways to acquire a headquarters title deed in
The respawn rate and timing of bosses in the wild were not fixed, hence it made it hard for the players to consistently hunt them. But bosses in the dungeons were always in the same location, making them easier to hunt. Most of the title deeds on sale in the auction house were from dungeon bosses.
Even though the dungeons differed from place to place, the difficulty was roughly the same for all dungeons.
"From the looks of it, only the really good guilds are able to acquire their own headquarters. But even if they could complete the quest, there are hardly any guilds that would be willing to set up a headquarters in a completely different city." Fearless reasoned.
"Che, that might not be the case..." Wang Yu did not agree with Fearless' assessment of the situation. After all, the Sanguine Alliance had constantly suffered at the hands of the Quan Zhen Sect in Twilight City.

"But they haven't left have they? If you think about it, they suffer more the longer they dilly dally without making a decision." Fearless indifferently said.
The fact that these title deeds only gave access to headquarters in specific districts had not been made known to the general public yet. But once it did, it was likely that all the title deeds on the market would probably lose their value.
Furthermore, having a guild headquarters was a matter of face for most guilds. Not only would it mean that they had the strength to establish themselves, they could also start guild wars as well.
A guild headquarters wasn't something that could be developed in a day. It took constant effort and resources for them to properly develop. Hence, the earlier a guild managed to acquire one, the better.
If the Sanguine Alliance continued dragging their time without making a concrete decision, it was likely that they wouldn't have much of an advantage over other guilds.
"That being said, it still takes a lot of courage for Sanguine Warflag to approach you for help!" Ming Du laughed.
"It's not like he has any other choice. Is there anyone else in Twilight City that he can trust to accomplish such a feat?" Fearless smugly replied.
"Not bad, not bad. You finally said it Fearless!" Everyone else burst into laughter at Fearless' arrogant words.
Just as they were happily chatting, the doors of the Inn swung open as Sanguine Warflag strolled in...
"Ah, you're all here..." Sanguine Warflag mumbled as he glanced over at Fearless.
The Quan Zhen Sect rarely ever gathered together unless they were going to clear a dungeon. This was the first time that Sanguine Warflag had ever seen so many members of the Quan Zhen Sect gathered together.
"These bastards decided to flock here when they heard that Leader Warflag was treating me to a round of drinks." Fearless helplessly laughed.

"God damn it, you're the shameless bastard over here Fearless..." Everyone seethed with rage when they heard Fearless slander them as such. This was especially so for Ming Du, who had already prepared a bolt of lightning to kill him.
Looking at Ming Du's reaction, Fearless simply spat out a single word: "Idiot."
"Damn you!" Ming Du roared as he raised his staff, only to be suppressed by Spring Halo, Wang Yu and Vainglory.
"Ha ha ha..." Sanguine Warflag awkwardly laughed: "You guys sure are lively..."
"It's nothing much... he's just slightly rash..." Fearless glared at Ming Du as he spoke.
Wang Yu and Spring Halo sighed, it looked like Fearless was hell bent on enraging Ming Du.
Seeing that sparks were flying between the members of the Quan Zhen Sect, Sanguine Warflag quickly changed the topic: "I've always heard that the experts in the Quan Zhen Sect were as numerous as the clouds in the sky. I hope that Leader Fearless can introduce all of them to me!"
The main reason that Fearless had called everyone over here today was to display the combat strength of the Quan Zhen Sect. Only then would he have a bargaining chip for the commission he would get from Sanguine Warflag.
Furthermore, even though the Quan Zhen Sect was infamous throughout Twilight City, the most well known players were still the six original players, Frost Blade, Boson and the others. Sanguine Warflag might have heard of the name Crotch Lord, but he had never met him in person.
"The Warrior on your right is called Boson!" Fearless pointed at Boson as he declared.
Boson chuckled as he nodded at Sanguine Warflag.
"Nice to meet you!" Sanguine Warflag hurriedly replied as he turned to the Assassin on his left: "You must be Frost Blade!"
Frost Blade was renowned throughout the gaming community as a wealthy businessman who was playing as an Assassin right now. Even Sanguine Warflag knew this kind of basic information.
"Actually, that's Frost Blade..." Fearless corrected Sanguine Warflag as he pointed to Frost Blade.
"Oh... then who is this?" Sanguine Warflag awkwardly asked.
"Darknorth Fisher..."
"Huh! The mercenary king Darknorth Fisher?" Sanguine Warfkag's jaws dropped in shock.
Normal players might not know who he was, but experts like Sanguine Warflag definitely heard of him. When Sanguine Warflag had first received news that Darknorth Fisher's guild had disbanded, he had wanted to invite him to join the Sanguine Alliance. Who would have thought that he would be part of the Quan Zhen Sect now...
"Ha ha!" Darknorth Fisher contentedly laughed as he looked at Sanguine Warflag's expression.
"And who is this?"
"Crotch Lord!" Crotch Lord happily declared.
"The number one Guardian in district 7!!!" Sanguine Warflag gasped again.
Other than the six original members and the super expert Wang Yu, Sanguine Warflag did not expect that the Quan Zhen Sect would have two other legendary players as well! Even a large guild like the Sanguine Alliance did not have men of such calibre.
"And who is this lady? Is she another legendary expert? Heavenly Phoenix Dance or Goddess Luo Dance?" Sanguine Warflag asked as he respectfully looked over at Yang Nuo.
The number of female experts in the gaming community could be counted on one hand. And there were only two of them that could get along with a bunch of ruffians like the Quan Zhen Sect.
If this lady over here was another legendary expert, then the price that the Sanguine Alliance had to fork out this time would definitely not be cheap, Sanguine Warflag thought to himself as he looked at the bag of gold in his inventory…...

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…

Voidsong (A NaNoWriMo 2018 winner)
Synopsys: The Empire thought humanity died, and forgot all about it. The Empire is mistaken. A Note From the Author: This story was written as a National Novel Writing Month 2018 entrant. As such, its entire 50,000+ word length was written between November 1, 2018 and November 31, 2018. Overall, I would consider this no more than a polished draft. In that vein, the chapters have no names, only numbers. Special thanks to Chronus on youtube for answering my questions on NATO radio procedures! My Apologies to the Finnish Language, which I have abused in (probably) unforgivable ways to create Twisted Empire names. If anyone is interested, break the names up by commas and toss them into your favorite translation program (I used Google Translate, and tried to avoid umlauts and other accents) for some semi bilingual boni. If I got something wrong (and I know I did… somewhere…) let me know over on reddit and I will see what I can do to fix the mistake. Lyrics, where included, are cited in footnotes.
