《God Slaying System》Negotiation
Advertisement
The area where Issac was brought to was a big room at the top of the arena from where every last detail inside of the arena could be viewed. It was a well lit room with some sofa and a big screen at the corner wall. The air in there also felt fresh and cool.
Right now, everyone had just arrived inside of the room.
Kane was still giving off some blood lust, that was directed towards Issac but he ignored it not thinking of it as a big deal. Everyone else was also feeling uncomfortable after being in the situation that took place outside.
After everyone took their seats, Etna finally planned to break the silence and start the conversation.
"I am Etna. The vice leader of the Chaos Adventurer team. These people beside me are my Etna division's party members. Hope that having them here won't trouble you." Etna spoke in a really calm and gentle manner.
Putting down his cloak, Issac started speaking slowly and calmly.
"Oh yes, I have no problems with them being here. So I think I should introduce myself too. I am Issac, a player from Blue Sky city who just happened to travel around here. It seems like you are having a recruitment right now. So you see, I just happened to be a little interested in your adventurer team and thought of recruiting but, the minimum requirements for even taking the test is level 16. Two levels above mine."
Etna cut off Issac as he was still speaking as said ,"Well if it is with the recruitment requirements, I am really sorry to say but it is what it is. I can't do much about it."
Etna had a disappointed look in her eyes as she said that.
'I thought that he was someone amazing but, looks like he is just some average player looking to get recruited.' Etna sighed.
"Well I have not finished yet. I am not really looking to work as some average first division member of your adventurer team. Firstly, let me show you some things."

Issac said as he brought out 5 top-tier Gold Rank and 1 top tier Diamond Rank weapon in front of him. He had a huge smile on his face that almost looked like he was flexing the items before him.
The eyes of everyone present inside the room nearly fell out of their sockets. They were experts among experts of their team so they could definitely tell the rank of an item just from it's glow effect.
The items present before them were of Gold and Diamond rank. It was only given to the most amazing players of any guild or adventurer teams. They were not some common materials that could be bought in the streets.
Even in their whole adventurer team, they only had around 100 gold rank items. In the case of Diamond rank, only a few of them possessed it, one of whom included Etna who was sitting beside them.
With the help of one Diamond rank weapon, one could face several opponents at the same time. They could not even imagine what would happen if one player possessed the weapons of any higher rank.
They would in themself become a one-man army!!!
Even Etna was surprised by the actions of Issac before her. She again had a look of excitement in her eyes. The player before her really was not as simple as she had thought. She inwardly praised herself for listening to him.
Maintaining her composure, Etna again resumed their conversation.
"Those are some really amazing items you have there." Etna said pointing to the items before Issac.
"Well, what if I tell you I have some more of these." Issac's previous smile had already turned into a grin that could be seen on his face.
Etna really was surprised by Issac's statement. She realized then that they were just moving as Issac was planning. He had the resources that every guild and adventurer team would go mad over. They were the ones who needed him, he was not the one who needed them.

"State your demands." Etna sighed as she gave in to the grin of Issac before her.
"Well just as I said I am looking to get recruited but, not in the First Division Army."
"You want to join the core division army, then?" Taki suddenly blurted the question out as she listened to Issac.
"Taki let him finish properly." Etna gave a piercing gaze to Taki for her misbehavior. Taki felt the gaze and unconsciously looked downwards.
"No, that is also not my plan. I want you to support me in destroying a guild known as Dominators of the Blue Sky City and gradually take over the city itself. As for the membership I don't really care about the army. I want you to give me complete independence on my choices. I will be known as a member of the adventurer guild and I will of course support in some dungeon raids and wars but, other than that I need full independence on my activities." Issac finished his demands by saying that much.
Everyone in the room had an expression of shock when they heard Issac's demands.
Did he take them for a fool or something?
"Are you really insane? Asking for those demands? Even our leader does not have that much independence. And do you really think that 5 pieces of gold rank and 1 piece of diamond rank weapons will be able to compensate for the losses of a war." Taki suddenly blurted out again like before but, this time Etna didn't stop her.
"Yes, I also think that way. The profit that we can gain from agreeing to your demands doesn't seem sufficient. Do you have anything more that you can offer ?" Etna asked as she carefully looked towards the man before her. She couldn't really understand him.
"Of course, the biggest benefit you are gaining from this is me myself." Issac said as if he had a mountain of confidence to prove his point.
The other players inside of the room nearly fainted hearing Issac's reply.
'Just who did he think he was to state that thing with such confidence ?' The thought ran through everyone's mind.
They couldn't tell if the person before them was joking or was being serious. But, looking at the calm and confident Issac, Etna believed that he had some power to prove his point.
"Just who do you think you are? You are just an average level 14 noob that we can find anywhere in the streets. If you dare then let's have a 1v1 right now. Do you have the confidence to accept?" Kane finally popped his nerve.
He was angry with Issac from the very start, only because Etna had told him not to pick a fight, he was silent. But now, it had gone too far.
"Kane I don't think you should be shouting like that." Etna tried to calm Kane down.
When it came to battle, Kane could almost be considered among the top 5 in the whole of Chaos Adventurer team. Even Etna would have a hard time winning against him.
She didn't want to chase some possible gold and diamond rank items just like that.
"No, don't stop me Etna. I must show this arrogant fool his place." Kane shouted even loudly.
"Huh? What? Afraid?" Kane started to laugh at Issac.
"I accept. I think I must show you how great of a profit it is for you to have me." Issac stated calmly as always as he stood up from his place.

Collective Thinking
Dyna Graves grew up thinking she was special. An exception to the average. Not necessarily above her peers, but simply outside their context. However, toward the end of her high school life, she started to realize that nobody was really special. At least not in any fantastical way. Just as she started trying to figure out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, she got an invitation. A psychic institute scoped her out, realized her psychic potential, and asked if she would undergo psionic training at the Carroll Institute. Almost immediately, Dyna realized that she wasn’t quite up to the same level as many of her peers. Surrounded by clairvoyants and mind readers displaying obvious abilities made her own lack of ability all the more apparent. That was, up until the researchers and scientists of the facility realized that there was a bit more to Dyna Graves than met the eye. After an explosive incident during what should have been a routine experiment, Dyna quickly found herself wrapped up in a world of cutthroat espionage. The story can also be viewed on my website, https://www.towercurator.com/collective-thinking/. Cover art by Zoern.

8 188Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.
