Chapter 185: Clan Part 2

An hour later, everything had settled down, and Ryu with Chi, Margie, and the other generals at his side sat in the main seat of the Qin clan. In front of him was Thane and the elders of each of the side families. "As of today, the Qin family will be headed by me. Are there any objections?" 

Ryu did not want to waste any more time. He still had to make a pit stop at the Vaughan family and still had to speak to IceMaiden about the guild merger. "I, Thane, the temporarily assigned head of the side families, hereby announce Ryu as our clan head and swear our utmost loyalty to Ryu and Serenity."

[System Notification:  Conditions met Would you like to upgrade the guild Serenity to a Clan?]

Ryu did not hesitate to hit yes. Such a silly question should not even need to be asked. As soon as he hit yes, a world message was announced across the world. 

[The guild Serenity has met the requirements to become a clan. Their guild status will now change from guild to clan, and their maximum member count has been extended to five hundred.] 

@BraveSoul: !!!!! Does this mean I can join Serenity now!? Fuck yeah!

@ButterMyNuts: Umm… Ryu, is it too late to apologize and join your guild? I mean, I know I said a few harsh words, and I do apologize. I would like to leave the shitty Golden Sword and become your loyal follower!

@Gene: ButterMyNuts, you asshole. Do you really think if you guild hop, Serenity will take you in!? 

@ButterMyNuts: Fuck you, Gene. The only reason I am on bad terms with Ryu is because you instigating me. You keep trying to make yourself out to be a big man. But I saw it when you were changing. Your dick is no bigger than the tip of my pinky finger! 

@Gene: What the fuck are you talking about!? How would you know how big my dick is!?

@AzuritePaladin: Gene the Microdick +1

@Draconis0kelly: Gene the Microdick +1

@MrShadowMan: Gene the Microdick +1

@KjellTheViking: Gene the Microdick +1

@LittleRuRu: Gene the Microdick +1

@DrakeStarkiller: Gene the Microdick +1

@Ryu: Gene the Microdick +1

@Gene: Fuck you all!! Why the fuck did I just get a system message saying I was granted the title Gene the Microdick!? Which mother fucker hacked the game!?

@Ryu: Hahahaha!

Followed by Ryu's laughter, the whole chat blew up with people spamming  Gene the Microdick +1 and laughter text. And within a room not accessible to players, Mimi sat in her chair, giggling away as she touched Ryu's name on the screen. "I will be seeing you soon, my love~!"

Ryu had planned to contact IceMaiden, but instead, she was the first to contact him. "I see you are a man of your words. Well, a woman of her words. Hehe." 

"I always keep my promises. Well, I at least try to. Did you come to a decision?" Ryu asked.

"Yes. We had a full vote within the guild, and the merger passed with eighty percent voting for. So some of our members may leave after the fact, but all the core members agreed that the benefits of merging into Serenity were too good to pass up. You did promise our core members decent benefits and a high salary, so it will be worth it for them. How do you wish to do the invites?" IceMaiden had been wondering how they were going to be inviting so many people at such a long distance.

"Hehe… check it out." Ryu had already checked out the new clan window, and there was a button to auto invite an entire guild. You just had to send the message to the guild leader you wanted to merge with. Once they hit yes, all the members would be greeted with a popup that asked them to join the clan or reject it and go solo. But by doing this, the previous guild's house becomes the property of the new clan, meaning they could now travel back and forth between the eastern and western parts of the continent. 

After reading the details on the screen in front of her, IceMaiden smiled and hit the yes button. Just like that, the guild Ice Palace was removed from the rankings.  Serenity still stayed first because the rankings itself were never meant for just guilds. It only started out that way due to no clans or sects being created yet. But now, Serenity was basically locked to first with no way of being removed unless they were to disband.

As the guild members of Ice Palace began to hit the yes button to become members of Serenity, the clan member list quickly filled to three hundred and seventy. "Now I wonder how I will make this clan turn into a sect..."

Ryu was already thinking ahead. He wanted to reach the top as a sect so that they could have free reign within the game to do as they pleased. But the world of Soul Fusion Online was not bound to a single plane. This meant that once they reached a certain cultivation level, they could go to a whole new plane. Ryu was really interested in what this other plane was like. 

As Ryu was trying to plan out his next course of action, a message from someone in his friends list he had completely forgotten about popped up: "Hi handsome, Mimi is here!"

"You're not here. You are sending me a private message. How may I help you miss Mimi?" Ryu asked.

"Ahh, no fun! And here I have come to tell you some juicy news. Do you want to know!? Do you? Do you!? Should I tell you!? Huh? Huh? Maybe I should keep it a secret." Mimi was trying to hype Ryu up but instead got an answer she never expected.

"Since it isn't important, I will let you go. I still have things I need to do." Ryu went to close the chat, but Mimi quickly sent him another message. 

"Wait, hold on! I was just joking. No fun at all geeze. Anyway, the higher ups have decided that they will be reaching out to you for an interview. Whether you do it in game or out of game is up to you. And if it is real life, you will get to meet the great and wonderful me. Well…  Joking aside, I hope you do the real life interview. I want it to be known that all top gamers are not men."
