"What does everyone think about the patch notes?" - Sam

"What do you mean, Sam? It's more or less the same as the last one except we get more resources." - Evan

"Uh… Well, I didn't expect that to be the patch notes either to be honest." - Sam

"No, it actually changes a lot for tonight's 'Pillar of Light' invasion." - Ian

"The game is trying to overrun the smaller groups of players to make room for the larger groups. They are essentially, pruning the weeds in the players and forcing them to take sides with the bigger groups without explicitly saying it." - Nina

"That was what I was going to say." - Kingston

"Sureeeeee, Kingston. Aren't you struggling to help out Ian anyway? Are you going to be fine fighting off more monsters than the last two days?" - Sabrina

"Right, how was last night, Kingston? I never got to ask you about it." - Ian

"It was okay, if I was to be honest. Compared to the first night, it was a lot easier. There were some poison zombies but other than that, it was mainly normal zombies coming at us. We were able to hold them off and use a rotation of troops to fight them and during the day, we also increased the thickness and height of the wall making it harder for the zombies to siege.

The poison zombies were a problem at first, but after we realized that the Krepost was able to heal us if we were hit by the poison attack we just disregarded the poison zombie's existence. We just had to keep the gate free of zombies and fight from above using archers and long spears." - Kingston

"You didn't meet any Lickers? Or anything similar to a zombie with an exposed brain?" - Ian

"Nope. Just goblins, demi-humans, giant rats, snakes, and a bunch of other random monster zombies with the occasional poison zombie." - Kingston

"How about the rest of us? Did we fight anything different from what was already known to appear? Or anything that shouldn't have appeared at all?" - Ian

"Hmm…. I fought against skeleton mages." - Sabrina

"WHAT! Skeleton mages? What kind of magic were they using? Fire? Dark? Poison? Earth? Some sort of black magic that can't be explained?" - Nina

"Some were casting fire magic while others were casting what I believe to be dark magic. I was against a horde of skeletons, and we were able to hold them off while destroying large portions of them with our magic. However, the moment the skeleton mages appeared it became a lot more difficult to fight.

The skeleton magics cast Fireball and Fire Bolt without any chant or book, instead a small magic circle appeared in front of their hand before the magic as cast. It was the same with the dark magic, but the dark magic was more focused on illusions or covering the enemy in a veil of invisibility. This was why it became harder to fight them since sometimes a whole chunk of skeletons went missing on our right or left." - Sabrina

"A MAGIC CIRCLE?! That's so cool!!! So, there is magic as a skill, magic from a book, elven chant as magic and now a magic circle. There are so many ways to implement magic in this game. It's amazing!!!" - Nina

"Oh, I should tell you, Nina. Lynn and Solar were able to create a new magic skill by tampering with the chant." - Ian

"WHAT! WHAT! HOW! WHY AM I NOT THERE!" - Nina

"Yeah, from Ball of Light to Illuminating Beam. Changing the chant can allow for a different skill, however, it is dependent on the chant and gathering the power from the respective god." - Ian

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHY AM I NOT AT HAVENFALL????" - Nina

"I forgot, why are you not there?" - Rebecca

"I'm on some quest given to me by the God of War, Ares… AHHHHH! I shouldn't have accepted it. It's been so long, and I'm nowhere near completing it. I think." - Nina

"What do you need to do? I heard about this from Ian before but since you are here now, you might as well explain to everyone." - Sam

"I too, want to know about this after all it does seem like a very interesting topic. Plus it might affect Leaders and Travelers as well since it involves a god and a person, whether that person is demi-human or human." - Evan

"Well, Ian's NPC Sylvia is an apostle of the God of War, Ares, and after interacting with Sylvia one day I received a system prompt saying that the God of War, Ares, is interested in me. Right after, Sylvia came up to me and started to talk to me about going on a journey to grow stronger and since my stats were pretty small I decided to go with Sylvia.

During the trip, we fought a lot of different monsters and have travelled quite far from HavenFall and are currently moving in a North-Westerly direction, judging from the position of the sun. Fighting monsters is just the start of the quest, since the main objective is to dominate the monsters to the point that they are afraid of us just from just standing there. I think Sylvia has come close to that at the moment since she looks like she has grown stronger.

I have not learned the awakening skill yet, and I assume that is when I become a full-fledged apostle but until then, I'm just fighting monsters using my magic book as much as I can and slowly improving my skills. Sylvia estimated that we would be back in the next month so hopefully, I will be able to join Kingston and Ian in the fight against the Reaper's army. "-Nina

"Damn… That's a long time to learn a skill, but I guess it would be worth it right? Do you know what your current stats are? Or at least an approximate." - Evan

"Hmm… I don't remember clearly, but I think my Intelligence stat is around 70 or 80? With my lowest stat being strength at around 15 or 20. I know I have grown exponentially compared to when I was last at HavenFall." - Nina

"Did you say 70 or 80…. Solar is at 70, and she is an elven mage…." - Ian

"I think following the God of War was a wise idea." - Kingston

"No shit, Kingston. Alright, well I don't think there is much to discuss. The main objective of this meet and greet was to see everyone as well as tell everyone that this house is where I want the guild, RavenStar, to be situated. Does anyone have anything they want to talk about before we all relax until dinner and then eventually go back into the game?" - Sam

"Where are we sleeping?!" - Sabrina

"Good question. Adam and Eve will show everyone to their rooms right now. Your bags should already be there as well as some snacks on the table inside everyone's room. I'm going to hit the gym before dinner. Kingston do you want to join?" - Sam

"Free gym? Don't mind if I do!" - Kingston

"HAHA! Alright I'll see everyone later." - Sam

Kingston follows Sam closely as the both of them chatter amongst themselves while walking through a door to another hallway. Adam and Eve grab our attention as well as signal us with their hands to follow them. Standing up, Nina, Rebecca, Evan, Sabrina and I follow after them with Nina, Rebecca, and Sabrina talking with each other right behind Adam and Eve, leaving Evan and me at the back.

"I'm still amazed about who Sam is as well as this mansion I am currently walking through. Never would I have thought I would make friends with a rich person through games and a genuinely nice person as well." - Evan

"I'm as amazed as you are about the situation however, I don't know much about the Sam's family. Other than that they run hotels, how much they are so big?" - Ian

"Sam's family, the Kalani, is a family that owns and runs one of the biggest hotel chains around the world. Whether it is in Ameri or New Oceania or Asiafreeca or EuroNation, they have hotels in all the major cities. Each sporting the most expensive food, housing, and services. They make a LOT of money and because of their good reputation people love them.

Which makes it more crazy when he tells us he is the heir to the Kalani Hokele. Since, it means he is mega rich! What are the chances we were able to interact with such a rich guy, and he is nice too. It's just too good to be true." - Evan

"But it is true, and he is a delightful person. I quite like how we met as well, not once did he flaunt his money in that small café we were in, and I think he quite excited to meet us." - Ian

"I think so too. Maybe due to his background and past, he didn't have much chance to do something like this, that's why he is so happy. You could tell, he was enjoying our company with just us being there." - Evan

"Yea… I'm glad we met him." - Ian

Following Adam and Eve, we eventually got shown our room as we travel up a long flight of stairs to the third level of the mansion. Nina's room was the closest to the stairs with Sabrina opposite her. Down a bit more was Evan's room and opposite his was Rebecca and mine.

A golden brown door with a small shiny golden letters in the upper middle of the door reading Ian&Rebecca was embedded into the wood. I glance at Rebecca just in time to see her surprised expression, smiling to myself before turning the handle and pushing the door inward to see our room.

Clear glass covered a whole wall, showcasing the beautiful blue sky dotted with small white fluffy clouds with the endless ocean right below the sky. Breathtaking scenery, made the both of us stand still unable to move a single step. Noticing around the room a deep brown wooden floor boards with soft animal skin rugs accompanied by golden lamps on top of intricate tables.

Multiple caramel chairs could be seen surrounding the chocolate tables with small crackers on top as well as a steaming hot cup of tea. Nearby, a large king-sized bed, with an array of pillows right below two small lamps overhanging the bed frame.

"Babe… I want to live here now." - Rebecca

"You and me both babe." - Ian
