Second World Chapter 406

Hearing that, Jack quickly ran over to the place where the archer deputy had fallen. This archer was killed by him so it had dropped some coins, mana cores, and two items.
"A special elite only dropped two items?" Jack said disappointingly, he had even summoned his Runestone of Luck when the archer was consumed by the lightning balls. Though he didn't know for sure if his attack would kill the archer, he still knew that the combination of Overlimit and Lightning God Barrage would be very devastating, so he had summoned the runestone.
Jack picked up the coins, mana cores, and two items, one of which was a scroll. He inspected the scroll.
Invisibility I scroll (Super rare consumable)
Cast a level 1 Magic Bind spell
A super-rare magic scroll? Not bad, but it's not offensive magic. Jack turned to Peniel, "Is this like the invisibility spell those World Maker people used inside the temple's dungeon?"
"Similar, except the one they used is Group Invisibility. This one only affects one individual, the caster."
"Can you describe how this spell functions? Can I still move after becoming invisible?"
"Yes, you can. The spell will be broken if you touched another person or monster, or when you get into a combat status. In other words, if you attacked or are hit by an attack."
"If it is not broken, how long will the spell last?"
"Thirty minutes."
"That's quite a long time. Is it the same for the Group Invisibility?"
"The group one only lasts fifteen minutes."
Those World Maker people must have only activated their Group Invisibility scroll when they noticed someone approaching via their God-eye monocle, Jack pondered. He then checked on the other item.
Bandit Archer Insignia (Super rare Insignia, for guild purpose only)
Convert trained Archer unit to Bandit Archer unit
'Another super rare? So my runestone of Luck was not wasted. But trained unit?' Before he had the chance to ask Peniel about it, he heard a voice from behind him.
"Dude, can you tell me something? What are those lightning balls you used to defeat the outlaw archer? Were they from a magic tool?"
Jack turned around and saw his guildmates crowded around him. Everyone was wearing a questioning expression. The one who had asked was Giant Steve.
"That is no tool, that is a skill," Jack told them, and then he made a prideful face and asked, "who was it that says I do not have a lightning skill despite having a Storm in my name?"
"Bro, I was just saying. You still bear a grudge for that?" Weird Trap said helplessly.

"Hehe, it was a cool skill, ain't it?"
"Very, very cool. But also extremely unbalanced," John commented. "If you throw those balls into players, no one will be able to survive no matter how high their defenses are. And it even hit people in an area, how unfair can it be? How long is the cooldown of that skill?"
"Five hours," Jack answered truthfully.
"Well, it is still a very unbalanced skill. Skill like that would have been heavily protested by players in a real game."
"Well, good thing this unfair skill is possessed by one of our members then," someone said.
"If he can get it, someone else can too. What if our enemies used it on us?" John said.
"I think it will not be so easy to get this kind of skill. There are only six others in this world," Jack said. He remembered Peniel said there were seven Divine Treasures.
"Four others," Peniel said. "The other two had different functions."
"What is this six and four things, you should tell us more," John said.
"There is no need for you to know. Just rest assured that this kind of skill is not something anyone can get. This guy here only gets it through a miracle."
Jack shrugged, "what she was trying to say is that she also doesn't understand why I get the thing that gives me this skill. You people should stop prying, she won't tell you if she doesn't want to."
"Fine then. But hey, why didn't you use that skill to bust that outpost core from the start? It would have saved us almost half the time already."
"Dude, the damages that skill caused were a combination of my two greatest trump cards. I won't use it if I don't have to. And wasn't it you that asked me not to attack the stele at the start?"
"How do I know you have such an unreasonable skill in your arsenal?"
As they were chatting, the three minutes time was up. They were suddenly enveloped by soft light and then found themselves already standing on the ground outside the outpost.
They looked around and saw that the entire outpost had turned out very differently than before. It was more empty now. There was only one building left which though large, was a far cry from the previous building that housed the outpost boss.
Jack at first thought that the transition process would take some time, just like when he renovated Amy's shop and Ellie's restaurant, but turned out it happened instantly.

Everyone then heard another notification, "Congratulations, guild Everlasting Heavenly Legends, for being the first to acquire a Guild Headquarter, your guild receives 100,000 reputation points and 100 gold coins."
Before everyone could register, another notification followed, "due to the captured outpost was of the normal-sized, receive guild resources of 500 gold coins, 300 food, 100 minerals, and 100 lumbers. Every participating member received 1000 guild contribution points."
And then another, "Congratulations, guild Everlasting Heavenly Legends, your guild has reached level 2. You can now have up to 1000 members and your guild headquarter can build more buildings."
They didn't know which notifications to be responded first. Someone finally broke the silence, "Our guild has become level 2?"
These three days they had been working on guild quests like crazy, typical of a guild that had just been formed. The passion was still fresh and everyone was still enthusiastic. But despite their zealotry, they only managed to gather a bit over 1,000 reputation points. Just around 1% of the reputation required to level up. But considering it was almost two months and none of the other guilds had become level 2, such a slow speed was expected. Now they had directly acquired the number of reputations required to jump directly to level 2, how could they not be astonished?
Jack remembered then that White Scarfs had also gained a reward for them being the first to establish a guild. Then also when he being the first to fully max out his skill. Seemed like there were lots of hidden rewards in this world for being the first one, not everything though.
Jack turned to Peniel, "do you know we will get this reward for being the first one to build a headquarter."
"No, I don't," Peniel replied.
Too bad, so he couldn't cheat by knowing which one he should focus on trying to be first then.
Everyone then heard Bowler cheered out, "Wow! Did you hear? 600 gold coins? We are rich! How should we share it?"
"You can't share it," Peniel said to him. "Those coins are considered guild resources. It can only be used for guild matters. You can't take those coins out."
"We can't?" A clear disappointment in his voice.
The army had also transported outside and was standing around in a protective manner. The three hours time of the beacon was not yet passed. Jack went over to the two Knight Captains.
"I'm sorry for the loss of your people," Jack said to them.
"Hmph, really? I can see that you are just using us for your own goal," Diego uttered.
Matias gave a wry smile, he then said to Jack. "Don't mind him, he is always the brooding sort. Our soldiers' loss is indeed a tragedy, but that is our job as a soldier. We can lose our lives at any time. The way I see it, you have helped us take out a bandit gang within our region. If we are to do it ourselves, the casualties will be more. You guys managed to destroy the core so our fight with the outpost boss was cut short. That is a great accomplishment by itself."
While Jack went and had a chat with the Knight Captain, Jeanny and John tried to go into the sole remaining building in that place. Everyone deduced that the building was their new Guild Headquarter. When they tried to open the door, it won't budge. An interface appeared in front of the door, asking them for the headquarter's name.
"We get to name the headquarter?" Bowler said in surprise.
"Cool! What should we call it?" Everyone had a discussion about it. Jeanny tried to organize the discussion.
John, in the means time, typed something into the interface while everyone was discussing. The door opened not long after.
Everyone turned to the opened door with a surprise. Seeing John was standing there, Jeanny asked, "did you type in the name already?"
John simply grinned and went inside the building.
"What's wrong?" Jack came back and asked.
"That prick just gave our headquarter a name without anyone's consent," Bowler said as he pointed at John's back.
"What name did he give?" Jack asked.
"Open your guild page," Flame said.
Everyone did so.
Guild name: Everlasting Heavenly Legends
Guild Level: 2 (Reputation: 101,252/500,000)
Guild Members: 54/1,000
Gold Coin: 600
Guild Headquarter: Heavenly Citadel
Food: 300 / 1,000
Mineral: 100 / 500
Wood: 100 / 500
Mana: 0 / 1,000
"Heavenly Citadel? That prick! Why did he only pick the word of his choosing? Why didn't he name it as Legendary Citadel?" Jack complained, then he turned to Peniel, "how do I change the headquarter's name?"
Peniel answered, "You can't. That name is final."
"What? Can't we go to the Guilds Association and request for a change?"
"Nope," Peniel affirmed.
"Joohhnnnn…!!!" Everyone rushed into the building. Intent on teaching the guy a lesson.

The Lady's Handbook of Intrigue and Murder (High Fantasy Politics)
Summary:The daughter of a dying house is summoned to the Imperial City to meet and perhaps marry a handsome prince. It sounds like a fairy tale. Except Mydea doesn’t have the advantage of a half-forgotten childhood encounter, supreme magic to match the highest echelons of society, or even the privilege of an ally. In order to survive and make a name for herself, she must beat the Imperial Court at its own game. At least no one's tried to kill her—yet. Notes: Basically, if you liked the magic of Harry Potter and the politics of Game of Thrones, you'll probably like this. While the first book focuses on the female lead, and the interplay of competing regional and imperial interests, subsequent books will also cover warfare and how I imagine that differs wildly from historical norms with the introductions of a magical aristocracy. Updates every Mon / Thurs / SatAdvance Chapters available on my Patreon [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Inside Metsys
Inside the universe of Metsys, life is chaotic, cruel and crazy. People with Stats have power and everyone wants to be a Player. Meet Corn, a slave who has no memory of most of his past and doesn’t know how most of the world functions. This doesn’t stop him from escaping the bonds of slavery by risking his life on a gamble. After all, he would risk everything for freedom and the right to be a mage. But how’s a scrub to learn Magic and get power? Why, join the magical under belly of the city, of course. And eat all the mana that he can get. Two Disclaimers: 1) This is a work of fiction. Any characters, places, organisations and everything else in this novel are fictional. Any resemblance between anything in this novel and the plane of reality we live in is purely coincidental. Was that a bit over the top and a wee bit unnecessary? Maybe. 2) This story features an antihero with a slight hint of villainy. So, sooner or later, it’s going to get dark. Very dark. Hence all the tags. If you are prone to be squeamish, this might not be for you. Well. You were warned. ;)
