Guild Wars

Of course, limiting a Divine items use by such a means was not smart. It could have other uses, but Draco would have to discover that later. After all, a person could only recognize the value of something after encountering a roadblock or circumstance requiring the solution the thing in question provided.

Draco put away the Digital Replicator. Even if he wouldn't personally use it with the presence of Refinement, his guild could make the best use of it with their endless supply of materials and resources. They then checked out the fourth item, which was a ring with a button on it.

｢Conjurer's Ring – Unique

Rank: Divine

Durability: MAX

Effects:

Passive 1 – Mental Power: Unlocks the Mental Power stat for the wielder. Base mental power is calculated by Int x Spr x Rank.

Description: This ring belonged to the God of Conjuration when he was still a True God, blessed with his power. Anyone who uses it would be able to manifest destiny and achieve the 'creation with a thought' realm that is much sought after.｣

The moment they saw this, their breaths caught. Draco reached out a hand to grab the ring, but it was yoinked by Eva faster than he could move. The Celestial Beauty slipped the ring on her finger and suddenly began to float as blueish-purple energy emerged around her, imbuing her body with an ethereal power.

Draco could only watch by the side with an envious and pained look on his face. He roared in his heart that Eva was truly a crook! How could she be faster than him?

Hmph, since her fingers were so good, he would request a handjob later!

Eva soon emerged from her transformation looking the same, but there as a blueish purple hue in her eyes that was unmistakable. She glanced at her fist and spoke in a serious tone.

"So this is the power of Conjuration…"

She placed her hands behind her back and ignored the red-faced Draco who was likely plotting revenge. With her new abilities to conjure thought into reality, she no longer had to be pressed beneath this evil fellow everyday!

…probably?

"Hey there, aren't you going to grant me the power too?" Draco asked while gritting his teeth.

"No, you have too many powers and abilities. Adding this one on top would just make things more confusing for you." Eva decisively put her foot down.

Draco could only sigh and pinch his nose. In a way, she was right, he really was saturated with so many powers. Now was not the time for him to acquire more, not at all.

As such, he gazed at the final item and hoped it could soothe his aching soul.

｢World Map – Unique

Rank: Divine

Durability: MAX

Effects:

Passive 1 – Global Positioning System: This map is able to locate the user no matter where they are.

Passive 2 – Minimap: The user is able to utilize a 2.5d minimap that shows their nearby area with ease.

Active 1 – Radar: When this skill is used, the map scans the nearest Area Zone and completely removes the Fog of War, allowing one to see all resources, locations, NPCs, monsters and players within. Cooldown: 1 day.

Active 2 – World Map: When this skill is used, the map scans the entirety of the known world surrounding the user. This completely removes any Fog of War, allowing the user to see all resources, locations, NPCs, monsters and players within. Cooldown: 1 month.

Description: This is the fabled World Map that was created by the then True God of the Cartography Tradeskill, who later became the primogenitor. Its ability to scan the world and locate the user no matter which dimension it is in is unparalleled.｣

As for this one, neither of them fought for it, so Draco claimed it. This was an all purpose item that could benefit their entire group, not to mention it was crucial for both Unique Quests and their later invasion of the Demon Realm.

What was that? It was rather the Demons that invaded humans every millennium?

Yeah sure, but that was the humans of Boundless' problem, how did it affect Draco and Eva? They were rather interested in checking out the Demon Realm and see how they could plunder it brutally until not even a rock was left.

If the demons knew what this Evil Duo were thinking, they wouldn't even dare to open their portals and would rather turtle up for the rest of time. However, it wouldn't be called surprise buttsex if it could be predicted ahead of time!

After checking their five Divine items, it was time for Draco and Eva to enter seclusion and try to gain some elementary mastery over their new power. As such, they sent a message to Sublime Notion and entered the Morningstar Universe.

Apart from Hoover in the Anomaly Realm, only Sublime Notion had access rights to enter the Morningstar Universe. Draco treated his core members well, but they were not his family nor did he plan to force them into it.

Everyone of his core members had their own desires, goals and aspirations. Even the God Serpents who were supposed to be his right hand men were full of will and ideas. Draco had never been too much about enslaving others in order to trust them, but he definitely would not share certain things.

For example, he could tell the core members about the Lineages and the truth of the world, but he would definitely not tell anyone about the previous timeline. There was simply no need for them to know, just like there was no need to let them into the inner universe.

With that in mind, Draco and Eva seemingly disappeared for a few months.

In this time, a lot of things happened.

......

｢System to Player Announcement

A Kingdom Quest has been created!

When this announcement was made, the eyes of every player bulged. Just how rich was this goddamn Vita Kingdom that they could offer this much? One should know that after the First Inter-Player International Competition, there were 700 million new players.

After some time, this number had increased to about a billion active players, no dead accounts and none logging out for more than 3-5 days!

If all of them signed up, could this dog kingdom really pay the participation bonus of 2,000 gold per person? That was a whopping 2,000,000,000,000 gold in total!

It was impossible to make that much money at this point in the game!

However, if they knew that Umbra was taking 99 billion platinum a week just from the Sea Route, not even counting the Rank 7 shop, the World Bank, Vita's operations, the guilds operations and Money lovers swindling, what would they think?

Of course, even if Umbra wanted to dispose of the money, they couldn't be stooges for idiots to take advantage of. As such, a criteria was announced for those who wanted to join the tournament.

｢Vita Kingdom Event Announcement

The criteria for participation in the Vita Tournament is as follows;

- Players must be level 10+ to qualify.

- Players with combat classes must be able to pass the Private rank training course set up by the Vita Kingdom.

- Players with Tradeskill classes must be able to produce a Common item from their Tradeskill with an 80% success rate.

- Players must be of good character and not affiliated with any dark forces or enemies of Vita or Umbra.

- Players must stay within Vita Kingdom for the duration of the event.｣

When the players saw this, those who were planning to make off with that 2,000 gold  has their smiles freeze as their eyes became bloodshot.

Despicable, despicable, despicable!!

Who didn't know that lodging in vita required an arm and a leg? Even if Vita agave them that 2,000 gold, all of it would be spent on rent and food while the tournament was ongoing, so wouldn't the money return to their hands?

While many unsavories feel to their knees and coughed blood in indignation, it was almost as if a silhouette of an evil lolitician was laughing happily while they were suffering.

Truly, it was the cutest ones who were the most evil!

Soon, Vita became busy as many players from around the known world rushed over at full speed to make the date of registration. No one who could qualify didn't want to participate and those who couldn't were like madmen, attacking monsters rampantly to reach level 10.

To the monsters, they could not understand why the usually careful and decent players were even more ferocious than them. Many of them hid their cubs and decided to hibernate until the storm passed.

Monsters worldwide would remember this period and even name it the player calamity. They would sign songs and draw cave art about how the red-eyed players hunted them down as if they were walking steak.

Vita was able to accommodate all of these incoming players thanks to their expansion. Majority of the expanded space had been used to build hostels, hotels and apartment districts in the outer zone, with even a few residential gated areas in the inner zone.

Forget 1 billion, Vita could take on 20 more times of that number and still not be crowded. Right now, it was still the NPCs who majorly populated the city, and this drove up is productivity to scary levels.

Sigh, Vita Kingdom just wanted to be normal like Sturgehaven and certain others, but it seemed like it was destined to be in the limelight.

Sigh, since fate had pushed it down this path, it would reluctantly walk it! It was not that, it, Vita Kingdom, wanted to be astounding, but that the heavens had forced this upon it!

Sigh, no one could understand the burden of being the one alone at the top the the highest mountain, with the nearest few standing at the depths of the ocean…
