More than 40 players who are of top positions of the top guilds gathered at one place to have a discussion regarding the war that was about to start early in the morning.
As the player representative and the host banquet, Starlight stood up from his seat and raised the wine glass, "First of all, thank you for accepting my invitation.
I don't wish for Eternal alliance cuz it's stupid. All I hope, at least until this war is over, we put aside our difference and fight together without any deceit for we are now belong to one kingdom. Happy co-operation."
They nodded as they raised their glasses, taking a sip.
After they were finished with the dinner and the dishes were cleared from the table, Starlight said, "Now, let's discuss the important matters. Zuweth is super chilled about the war and didn't give any special instructions to me.
But, let me tell all of you about the perks I had as the representative player."
Everyone became interested. For this very reason, they had made a trip all the way to Star town.
"First, I received a notification from the system that I will receive a total of 200 Quests per day from the system which I can assign to whomever I wished to.
As a sign of trust, I will make sure the quests will be divided only between our guilds. Of course, I have to keep at least 50 of them to myself.
Second, from the kingdom, I can temporarily borrow legendary grade equipment to use in the war, not many but only around 10 of them. I'll keep two for myself, so four guilds from Llyne and four from Zuweth will get the remaining. Who to get them… I'll leave to your hands.
Third, those who are in the same party as me will get additional 10% War points. As you know, the new rules state, a party can hold up only 500 people at best. Thankfully, we can't hurt allies even if weren't in a party…
Anyway, I'm reserving 100 for Starlight and Vulture. The remaining spots will be equally distributed to your guilds. So, each one of you will acquire 25 spots.
The fourth and final perk, a player representative also has the same powers as a general.
That means I can also command a 3000 NPC army consisting of two thousand Level 100-200 soldiers, a hundred Level 200-300 soldiers, and ten Level 300-400 Royal knights.
So, staying within my party can not only ensure one's safety but also make them earn easy war points with the support.
And all of these services will be shared with you without any conditions and I won't ask for anything in return either…"
Starlight's announcement surprised everyone.
However, the majority of these guilds have doubts too…
After all, one look at perks, anyone will get greedy and keep to themselves rather than sharing it. He can also keep quiet about the powers. No one will know it either.
Then, Why?
Is it really as he said about the sigh of trust. What a load of BS. They have Star group as their backing. A company will not become a giant Corporation if they aren't greedy. So, every guild was wondering what might be his hidden agenda.
Keeping Starlight guild's overall strength and influence in their minds, none of the guilds from the Llyne speak up. Dreamwalkers guild isn't also an exception.
However, the Zuweth kingdom guilds are different. They obviously know their backing but have little information about their overall strength.
For a long time, everyone's focus was stolen by Wil time and time again.
While they were hesitating, Zuweth's number one guild, Twilight's leader expressed his doubt, "Mr. Starlight, how can we trust your words? None of us know whether they are true or not. And even if they were true, isn't it too unfair for you to hog so much for yourself?"
With 65 thousand members in the main branch and another 80 thousand in nine branches, Twilight's leader, Twilight expected that he will be the representative but he didn't expect Starlight not only snatches it from him but they apologized to Vulture instead of himself.
He was already unhappy with the situation.
Now that he listened to the perks which he should acquire, in his view, Twilight's negative feelings towards Starlight only increased further.
Starlight was taken aback by Twilight's question. He frowned as he was being questioned even though he shared the information without hiding anything.
Finally, Silver, who was silent all along, opened his mouth, "In the western continent, there's a saying. Beggars can't be choosers. You should just be content with what being offered.
And it's not like players can change the tides of the war here. It depended entirely on NPCs. All we can do is just participate and get a small piece of the pie."
"You…" Twilight's face flushed with embarrassment. He wanted to sow discord by reminding everyone about the unfairness while using their lack of trust but Silver's words shut up him.
After discussing some of the strategies against their counterparts from Evelon, everyone left.

Two days later, Scarlet Apartment;
*Beep* Beep*
In the early morning 5 a.m., the phone rang continuously rang for a while before it was stopped by the finger.
*Yawn* Wil woke up, stretching his arms. "Hmm?"
He felt his left hand touched some skin.
Wil slowly turned his head and glanced to his left only to see a beauty who looks like an Easterner and was sharing his blanket. She has tear marks left on her face although she was smiling for now.
His eyes widened in shock and quickly raised his body only to find himself naked.
The room was unfamiliar. There are clothes fallen on the floor…
Wil was taken aback to see her clothes.
"Hanfu…" Her clothes are traditional, which are only now worn in dramas or festivals.
"No, that's not the issue…" He quickly returned to his senses and a thought appeared in his mind.
His heart started to beat wildly.
Trying to force himself to be calm, he slightly lifted the blanket and peeked underneath to confirm his suspicions.
As he expected, the girl was also naked from top to bottom. Near her knees, the bedsheet had a wet mark…
'F**k…' As Wil once again glanced at her face that had tears marks, he came to the worst possible conclusion.
He was terrified for a few seconds before shaking his head vigorously, denying the possibility of r**e… 'No… There's no way I would have done that inhumane act...'
'Calm down, Wil.. Think carefully... what happened yesterday...' Wil then tried to recollect his memory.
