>Aizen LightStar is a blacksmith? | Hot topic☆
Comments:
-What the hell? Wasn't that guy a wizard?
-Lol! He is a Doraemon
–Crafting SR items at this stage of the game is impressive
–The blacksmiths I know can barely craft Rank I items

>Magic Items | Hot topic☆
>Hi, it's me, Haz. Yeh, I will do it again. I'm here to talk about magic items. According to my sources, when an item receives some kind of supernatural or magical power, it becomes a magical item. Make no mistake, though there are many items with magical abilities, they cannot be considered magic items. Magic items have something that other normal items don't, magic matrices. Magic matrices can grant special functions to items. Well, I will study more about this.
Comments:
-Dude, your fonts are awesome. You always show up at the right time
–Thank you, Haz

Players were elated to find out about the inter-regional travel portals. Now they could travel to other cities and explore other areas. The interregional travel portal was located in the center of cities.
Guilds benefited greatly from this as they could now gather many more members. The currency exchange system didn't exist in the Arcane Universe, so guilds would have to buy player coins, the price was ridiculously high. In short, it wasn't worth it. The guilds have tried to acquire coins using their workforce, it's working. Now that inter-regional travel has opened up, guilds will grow even more.
Players with non-combat professions, such as blacksmiths and alchemists, also ended up benefiting a lot, as they would have access to more resources.
In short, cross-regional travel was a boon for all players.
Another thing that caused quite a stir in the community was the leaderboards.

Players were shocked by the Treasures leaderboard which showed the richest players.
The leaderboard ranged from 1st to 100th player. "Unknown" are players who have decided to hide their names. Having their names revealed could attract other players' greed. Nobody wanted to be hunted for being rich and lucky.
—Players were also surprised to see that there are special rewards for making it into the top 10.
The top 10 players receive a Fame and Honor bonus every few days depending on their rank, plus some extra rewards. This motivated players not to lose their place at the top.
They thought the guilds would dominate the leaderboard, but they were wrong. Several solo players were on the leaderboard.
Sekhet is a player belonging to world 2. He is a very famous player in that world. Many big guilds tried to hire him, but he rejected them all. When joining a guild, you exchange your freedom for perks and benefits.
SkyLLa and Vyn are two very famous players in world 3. They are the leader and vice-leader of a guild.
Beyond 5th place, most positions were still held by guild leaders or influential players.

The level table also ranges from 1st to 100th position. The top 10 players receive Fame and Honor bonuses and other extra rewards.
One curious thing players noticed was that Aizen's level is hidden. The Players were confused by this.
The level ranking table allows you to hide your name but not your level.
The reason for this is the mask Aizen was wearing. Special Rank Items are items with specific uses, and abilities to circumvent certain rules.
Special rank items can hardly be replicated or duplicated.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fame and Honor table was a table that players didn't know the purpose of.
The table goes from 1st to 100th, just like the others.
There were many ways to gain fame and honor. The popularly known way was through quest and system announcements.
Some quests give Fame, Honor, or both. The amount varies a lot, some give a lot, and others give little.
Quests that give you Fame and Honor points are also hard to find.
The fastest way to get it was through the world ads, however, the player or guild only gets a world ad when they do something extraordinary.
The ads are divided into three types: National (involves the entire nation), continental (involves the entire continent), and worldwide (involves the entire world).
Killing Ranked Bosses that players have never killed can generate national, continental, or worldwide ads. That will depend on the Boss ranking. Killing a world boss can also generate a world announcement, but world bosses rarely show up.
In addition, Craft ranking items that have never been done before can also generate system ads, ranging from national to worldwide.
In short, there are several ways to make system ads, but none of them are simple. Sometimes 1 second is all it takes for someone to bypass you and steal your ad from the system.
A player could have their place on the Fame and Honor table even as part of a guild. For example, a guild can have 300 points, and the guild leader has 50 points, this is because the points earned by the guild are not equal to the guild leader's points.
Players continued arguing about the leaderboard for hours until some incredible news reached the players. This news happened in the real world

TV:
–DoMinuS (company creator of Arcane Universe) made news about the game. The first VR batch of the game ended up selling out in the early days, this ended up frustrating many people who wanted to play the game, but today we got some good news. DoMinuS has made new batches of VR, and not only that, we have a brand new VR.
–To celebrate the game's first week of release its great success, DoMinuS has released a new VR that has rejuvenating capabilities. In addition, the new VR also can cure incurable diseases.
–DoMinuS decides to open the exchange system, but in a different way. The company announced that virtual coins can be exchanged for real money, but the opposite will not be possible.
–DoMinuS speaks out and says that real money cannot be converted to in-game currencies for obvious reasons.
This news had an impact on the world. A new VR that can rejuvenate someone. This is unbelievable. Aizen decided to buy and see how this thing works.

EARTH SAGE DOESN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED
Ash Sage dies in a tragic accident and is reborn in a new world and given a second chance. Seems pretty fimilair right? Well, instead of trying to better this new world or going on a quest to slay a demon king all Sage wants is to save up enough money to buy a house and live far away from everyone. He'll have to make use of his only skill, Earth Magic, to try and get money so he can live a life where he won't be bothered by anyone. Much to his dismay, to make money he'll have to deal with his least favorite thing, people. It's a fantasy comedy with a lazy hero who justs wants to be left alone.
8 241Of Souls and Rogues
When thieves Von and Lloyd are murdered, they wake up to find themselves not in the afterlife, but in the realm of the demigods. These demigods rule territories and hold sway over various domains, such as professions, elements, and more. The demigods vie for power, be it through military, economic, or diplomatic means. The roguish and jovial demigod of thieves, tricksters, and deception, Cadius, has taken a keen interest in the duo, and ropes them into his escapades, plots, and schemes. Just what kind of person is Cadius, and what grand designs does he have in store? From pickpocketing to infiltrating the personal quarters of the demigods themselves, Von and Lloyd have their work cut out for them. They'll need to support and encourage eachother if they want to survive. Check out the Discord! Note: This is my first work of fiction, and as such, there will almost certainly be issues with pacing, grammar, the writing as a whole, and the story as a whole. If I reach a suitable point to pause the story, I will most likely do a complete rewrite as a separate RR posting. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them here or in the discord. Thank you for reading!

8 153Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside. The central government was nowhere to be found. Among the survivors who clung to the few gardens and humble plots of arable land left, one of them finds evidence that the slaughter wasn't going to just end with the first wave. Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring. Original cover edited on GIMP. Destroyed city original photo "apocalypse" from Camila Rodrigues on Pixabay.
