《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 677. Yearning To Be Famous, Void Blade
Advertisement
“Professionals?” Sanguine Warflag replied in disbelief, “No way… Who could be so bored in the ring of professionals?”
“Sanguine Wolf!” Fearless stared at Sanguine Warflag as he replied.
“Ah?” Sanguine Warflag was slightly taken aback, “So it’s him… I really didn’t think he would be so bored.”
Looking at how calm Sanguine Warflag was, Fearless asked, “How? Sanguine Wolf is a member of your Sanguine Squad. Shouldn’t Boss Warflag give us an explanation?”
Sanguine Warflag looked distressed as he responded, “He is no longer part of us.”
“Oh? What happened?” Hearing Sanguine Warflag’s answer, Fearless wasn’t surprised. Instead, he was more curious.
“Sigh…” Sanguine Warflag sighed as he replied, “To be honest, the reality of my Sanguine Squad no longer lives up to the name. One month ago, our contract players all transferred to other guilds.”
Transfer of players in the competitive ring of professionals happened more often than not. Nobody would be contented with falling behind. Some want a higher salary while some want to win the championship. Either way, there were all sorts of reasons for players to transfer from one guild to another.
Even though Sanguine Squad was a renowned large guild, they were still lacking in terms of the salary they offered to pay for the competitive players as compared to other peak grade guilds. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising to see the transfer of players, especially for a top expert like Sanguine Rain. There were definitely a number of guilds trying to poach him over. This was a common occurrence.
Of course, for so many contract players to leave the Sanguine Squad at one go, something big must have happened with the alliance. Otherwise, this would not have happened.
The current Sanguine Squad would definitely have suffered a loss in morale and energy. Otherwise, an old name like the Sanguine Alliance wouldn’t be desperate to the extent that they needed to find others to help him with a competition.
Fearless and Wang Yu were only interested in Sanguine Wolf and co. so they couldn’t be too bothered about Sanguine Alliance’s family matters. After hearing Sanguine Warflag mentioned that Sanguine Wolf transferred, Wang Yu simply asked, “Which guild did he go to?”

“Void Blade!” Sanguine Warflag replied.
“Void Blade?” Wang Yu couldn’t help but repeat the name.
A surprised Fearless looked at Wang Yu as he asked, “Why? Do you know them?”
Wang Yu shook his head as he replied, “I don’t know but I just think that their name is pretty arrogant! What kind of guild is that?”
“I have no idea…” Fearless shook his head. Even after so many years of gaming experience, Fearless had never heard of such a guild.
However, Fearless was certain that this was not a well-known guild because a well-known guild’s name would be in gold. It was a kind of recognition for talented groups of people. Only stray players like Hidden Lurker would be an exception to such privilege.
However, this guild forced Sanguine Alliance to the corner before ambushing Quan Zhen Sect. Evidently, they were a bunch of unsettled fellas.
“Boss Warflag, do you know what they’re doing?” Fearless asked Sanguine Warflag.
Sanguine Warflag shook his head as he mumbled to himself, “I’ve met their leader and his ID is also new. However, I’m certain that they’re not lacking in money!”
To be able to poach four top experts from a well-known guild like Sanguine Alliance, this Void Blade must be overflowing with money.
“Since they are not lacking in money, why are they trying to snatch our items?” Wang Yu asked inquisitively.
Even though Quan Zhen Sect loved ruining things, they had no enmity with Void Blade in the past. There was simply no reason for Void Blade to offend them.
“Tsk!” Fearless grunted coldly, “They may not be lacking in money but they are lacking in reputation and talent!”
It wasn’t hard to tell what Void Blade was trying to do when they poached people from the Sanguine Squad with the money they had. Their intention was to create a powerful squad.
However, money alone wouldn’t be enough to create a powerful squad. After all, many top experts wouldn’t be lacking in that bit of money too. As compared to money, they would be thirstier for results.

A small unknown guild was definitely unable to attract a large number of talents. They could only spend money to recruit players like Sanguine Wolf, who fell short of the best but was still better than the worst, and could use the money for his retirement. They could also attract players like Sanguine Rain who had capabilities but was too proud to accept the low and wanted a change in environment.
Therefore, in order to attract more talents, they needed to spread their name. They wanted to make themselves known to their opponents that their squad had a chance to win the championship.
Even so, many years of experience was required for a newly established guild to become respected. For a new guild to become famous in one move, money was simply not enough.
Sanguine Alliance was undoubtedly a large guild. Even though Void Blade poached some top players from Sanguine Alliance, their foundations were still there. It wouldn’t be wise for them to offend tens of thousands of players. If they really got into a conflict, Void Blade would be wiped out even before they know it when faced against a guild with so many players in it.
Quan Zhen Sect was different. Their entire guild consisted of slightly more than ten people and their reputation was abnormally insane. It wasn’t limited only to Twilight City but throughout the entire forum as well.
How impressive could a guild with slightly more than ten people be? At the very most, every one of them was an elite but could they possibly match the vast number of professional experts poached by Void Blade?
Because of this, Void Blade was hoping to treat Quan Zhen Sect as a stepping stone.
“No wonder! But nobody knew that they killed us.” Wang Yu said.
Fearless laughed, “It will not be surprising that they will be showing off to the entire world very soon!”
“Isn’t this too shameless…” Wang Yu was speechless. He understood that people could kill each other in the game but showing off after killing someone was simply too childish in Wang Yu’s eyes.
Indeed, less than half a minute after the two of them ended their conversation, a public announcement was heard.
Big Bear Deng Deng An: Everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect listen up. From today onwards, we will beat you every time we see you in Twilight City! Treat this as proof!
This Big Bear Deng Deng An fella was really not lacking in money. the cost for one loudspeaker was ten gold yet he used it several times. The magnificent loudspeaker effects blocked all the players’ vision.
“It was really them. This fella called Big Bear Deng Deng An is Void Blade’s deputy leader. Their leader’s name is called “Captain Don’t Open Fire”.” After Sanguine Warflag saw the announcement, he told Fearless.
“F*ck…” Fearless and Wang Yu’s faces were beyond astonished. What kind of stupid names…
At this moment, emotions were boiling up within all the players from Twilight City.
“F*ck! Who is this Big Bear Deng Deng An? To think he is so arrogant? To think he dared to provoke and challenge the Quan Zhen Sect? Did he forget about what happened to Sanguine Alliance?”
“I know this Big Bear. I think he is the deputy leader of Void Blade. This guild is a small guild so how did they end up going against Quan Zhen Sect?”
“I’ve heard that their leader is extremely affluent who recently established a combat squad. He even managed to sign quite a number of professionals,” an informant explained.
“Professional experts? No way… They’re even meddling with this?”

The Portals of Albion
Portals to other worlds. Siblings with a secret. A world in need of magic. Zach is haunted, scarred by his time spent in a place that might as well have been hell. Zara, his sister, even more so. After years of torturous experiments, they were finally rescued. But the years since then haven’t been easy. Both siblings just want a break, something to take their minds from the past. The portals that appeared all over the world a hundred years ago are the key. The reason behind years of captivity now holds the answer to their problems. For the second time in his life, Zack awakens as a ‘Traveler’. Someone possessing the ability to pass through these portals and venture into the mystic realms. What begins as a fresh start soon attracts the attention of nobles and those with less savory intentions. When you have known nothing but distrust for those in power, what would you do to remain in control of your life? I will be uploading new chapters on Tuesday and Saturday each week at 4pm Mountain Standard Time. (The story has been described as X-men meets Narnia. Which while not entirely accurate, is still a fun way of looking at it.) (Note: As with my other stories, this one focuses more on the characters than on constant action. The Lite-LitRPG and Gamelit elements are introduced into the story gradually.) Author's Note: This is my raw, mostly unedited text. I am using RR to test out this story as I'm writing it to get a feel for how the published and edited copy will be received. Certain sections of the story will be changed or added to when I publish it as well.

The Girl in the Abyss
Synopsis: The mysterious force known only as "God's Guidance" implemented a game-like system and rebuilt the planet using continents from five different worlds. Join Ellie, a young girl whose soul is filled with an ocean of love and trust. No matter how horrendous the circumstance or dreadful the suffering her kindness manages to shine through, but everyone breaks eventually. Watch as the horrors of reality slowly chip away at a pure soul until nothing but a monster remains and follow her down the path of despair as she finds a reason to live. ‘Our fate is one that always leads to suffering, but you can smile, I’ll shoulder everything else.’ Warning 1: This story covers very mature themes which I have listed here: Torture of a child (The MC is the victim), death, killing, slavery, and light gore. Nothing sexual ever occurs to the main character. Warning 2: This is another apocalyptic LitRPG, has a brokenly OP MC, bad writing, horrible grammar, and garbage sentence flow. It is my first attempt at writing a story since grade school. Inspired by my four favorite stories: Overlord, CLANNAD, The Arcane Emperor, and Tokyo Ghoul. A note by me: This is not a world domination story or an action story. There is fighting but it's not the focus. Another note by me: This is a work in progress. I’ll likely go back and change stuff a lot. The cover art is by a friend who has encouraged me since the start. Releases: Volume two will not be out anytime soon sadly. I apologize for the Hiatus.

No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going. Cover drawn by yours truly in MS paint. (I have skill, I know)
