CH 257

[You will enter the Stage of Advent (Act Two).]

Seong-Il and I were in the middle of a forest full of green weeds when we got that notification message.

“Isn’t this place the ox-heads’ mainland?”

He was asking this because he thought that maybe Lee Soo-Ah and Shin Kyung-Ah could be here. He became slightly excited when he heard the sound of water gushing. I pointed far ahead instead of answering. Although the source of the light was hidden by trees and was far away from where we were, it gave off a clear and huge ray of light. It stretched out vertically from the sky to the earth, piercing through the clouds. I was certain that it was something I wouldn’t see on the Baclan mainland.

[System (Army) has been opened.]

[System (Guild) has been opened.]

[* Revolucion(12) was created arbitrarily.]

[* Lee Tae-Han has been randomly selected as the guild leader of Revolucion (12).]

[* The System has placed you in Revolucion(12). You can drop out if you wish.]

Messages popped up one after another, and it was proof that Act Two had begun. Guilds and corps were not only formed after a verbal agreement among the Awakened, but they were often also forced by the System. The reason why the System activated the guild structure despite the risk of dispersing power was probably because of the size of the Stage in Act Two.

[Guild name: Revolucion(12)

Guild leader: Lee Tae-Han

Deputy guild leader: Undetermined

Guild members: 72,121

Corps: Undetermined]

[The quest ‘Ruler’ has been activated.]

[Ruler (Quest)

Strong and extensive privileges will be given to the guild leader.

Mission: Eliminate the guild leader

Reward: XP and the status of guild leader]

The leader of a large organization wasn’t determined solely by killing each other, but such a quest was bound to appear and induce conflict. Since it was a cancelable quest, I immediately opted it out.

[A category has been added to your status window.]

[Subject: Guild, Corps, Attack Team]

[Name: Na Seon-Hu

Level: 483 (Challenger) *Round Two*

Guild: Revolucion (12)

Corps: N/A

Attack squad: N/A]

[Guild: The guild leader Lee Tae-Han has designated ‘Angela’ and ‘Gunnarson’ as deputy guild leaders.]

That was the last notification message I got after I entered Act Two.

“Ugh, it’s never-ending.”

However, the Spirit was now announcing the real news that heralded the start of Act Two.

[Can you see the big and beautiful light pillar?]

Seong-Il flippantly said, “I have something big and beautiful too. Hehe.”

He was too relaxed even though he fell into an unfamiliar place. However, the smile in his eyes slowly faded away as if he recalled that the Spirit could turn evil at any critical moment.

[But don’t be fooled. It is not there for you. It makes you weak while it makes your enemies strong. Did you figure it out? The mission of Act Two, Stage One is to destroy that light pillar as quickly as possible.]

The Spirit continued.

[The light pillar is located in Baclan’s territory. You don’t know yet, but the Baclans are powerful. But don’t worry! My colleagues who failed to get a promotion (｡>﹏
