Advertisement
Only Auron and his dejected guild member left behind at the arena.
"What will we gonna do now?"
"Are we really disbanding?"
"Why all of this must happen?
...
Many of Auron's guild member wailing desperately. Suddenly, Cold Candle elegantly approached him.
"Guild Leader, Darius must be cheated. There is something weird about this, we will need to investigate this," Cold Candle pretended she didn't know anything. "Before that, you should leave all of your item and equipment to us. After that you can create a new character and start over again. We will help you to level up, after you got to this level again, we will give back all of your item. We will challenge them and get our revenge!"
"Yeah, guild leader we will exact our revenge to them"
"I will help you to level up"
...
Many of his guild member agreed to Cold Candle. Auron stood still. He out of focus. All of the event happen today shocked him. From a shockingly huge bet to the joy of knowing all of his plan working well until feeling betrayed by his guild's vice leader.
Auron gazed furiously at Cold Candle, "You...!!!". He wanted to beat her up, but he looked at all of his guild member behind her.
"Although I know how all of this happen, I actually don't have any concrete proof. What will happen if I accuse Cold Candle colluding with Raging Bull without proof? Will all of my guild member believe in me?" Auron have some thought. "Forget it, this is all because of my carelessness. If I really accuse Cold Candle without proof, the others will really looked down on me. They will say that I can't accept any lose and blindly scapegoat the one who support me. This will only harm me." After some thought, Auron got rid of the plan.

Auron suddenly felt very tired. He looked up to the sky, then a stream of tears can be seen washing through his face.
The more he thought about all of this, the more he felt regret. All of his hard work for 10 years. All of his effort to build the guild. All of his effort to reach the peak. All of his life. If he didn't accept this bet before, If he listened to his best friend, All of this will not happen. He will not lose his character. He will not lose a guild he build with his best friend. All of this is gone.
Silently, Auron logged his character out.
Cold Candle and Auron's guild member shocked because Auron just logged of without saying anything. However, they somewhat know what his guild leader feel and they will also do the same if they was in Auron's place. They started to dispersed and go back to their routine. Some of them even logged off too.
Cold Candle stood still in the arena smiled. All of her plan worked, now she just need to wait for the reward to be reaped. However, she suddenly shocked.

Auron's Room
Auron opened his eyes. He was inside a game capsule. He very lost in thought. He couldn't think straight. He blamed himself. He blamed his stupidity. He just wanted to run away from reality. He thought he started to get crazy.
He closed his eyes again and opened the game settings. He looked at his character.
[God Of Sword]
Level: 500 (maximum level)
Class: Swordsman
Ranked: 2
Attributes:
....
Skills:
....
Equipment:
....
Auron looked at his character with teary eyes. He move his hand and press a button.
[Are you sure want to permanently delete your character?]
"Yes"
[Warning!!! All of your equipment and item will also be permanently deleted. Please enter your character's name to confirm!]

Auron not moving. He stood still lost in thought. A few seconds later, he gritted his teeth and started to make a move.
"God Of Sword" Auron then pressed confirm button.
[Your character has been sucessfully deleted. Do you want to make a new character?]
"No"
Auron opened his eyes. He then exited the game capsule and lied on his bed.
"I'm done" Auron still couldn't believe of what he had been throught today. It felt like a dream.
Feeling very tired, Auron started to close his eyes and slowly his consciousness went in to dreamland.
---------------------------------------------------
[Your guild leader has gone. As the vice guild leader, you will become the new guild leader. Congratulations!]
"Damn guild leader, He already deleted his character without sparing his equipment and items. Such pity, I can't get his sword." Cold Candle silently cursed Auron. "Well, forget it, I can move my plan to the next step."
The other guild member also received same news and the guild went uproar. The news of Auron deleted his character started to spread like a wildfire.
Many player looked at the player's ranking and they couldn't found God Of Sword in the ranking.
"He really deleted his character this quick?" This question was what in the mind of other's player.
This huge news actually make the event before become more bigger. It was like pouring oil to a flame. Many high leveled player confirm that their ranked went up by 1. They felt excited as well as pity. They pity Auron. Such a high skilled player has gone in one day.
Many high leveled guild started to call Auron. They tried to befriending him and encourage him to play again. Of course, all of them ask Auron to play for their guild. They started to make a list of benefit they could offer to Auron.
Some of them offered an important position in the guild. Some of them used money to enticed Auron. There was even a guild offered guild leader position as long as Auron willingly to marry his daughter.
They keep calling Auron but the call was not picked up. They tried over and over again. There was some guild tried to contact Auron's friend to make them persuade Auron to join their guild.
However, Auron, source of all of this event, didn't aware at all since he has already entering deep slumber and went into dreamland

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.

The Fundamentals
You hear of many tales out there. Some depict worthy heroes wielding tremendous power, noble personas that fight to save the lives of their close friends, family, and all the rest. Good triumphs over evil, that is simply the way the world works, no? While this premise is something inherent to nearly all stories, what exactly the heroes used to attain success can differ greatly. Perhaps they've trained themselves to the limit, pushing past boundaries nobody else could hope to achieve. Others still, have merely inherited the grand legacy of another legendary being, but what they have done with such a legacy would cause their names to be passed on for generations. Rowan is one of the heroes who have ventured beyond the horizon, tempering themselves on a perilous journey all the while and succeeding in attaining strength beyond measure. However, in an unexpected turn of events, this strength caused him to tear open and fall through a hole in the realm he resided in. Now he has ended up in a completely foreign realm, whose inhabitants utilized strange powers that eclipsed his own. Fortune would smile upon him this day, however, as he discovered that they were not hostile, and even offered to teach him their ways. Rowan could see that this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and eagerly accepted their invitation to learn what would come to be known as: The Fundamentals.
