Due to the nature of the competition, Kieran couldn’t receive Experience from any of his fights.

The only form of a power increase he received came from the improvement in his natural skill mastery. If not for this feature, Kieran would have felt he suffered some losses by entering this competition.

Wasn’t the goal of a player to increase their level? How could he justify entering the competition if it yielded zero Experience?

Many might ask themselves this question, but not Kieran.

The chance to officially join the War Deity Council was a gift in and of itself. As long as he increased his standing high enough, he could trigger and obtain a unique World Quest.

The triggers didn’t exist within the War Deity Council, but only an internal member could claim the quest, which is why a select few benefited from that ludicrous World Quest in his past.

Aside from this, Kieran was genuinely interested in the unique opportunity as only one newcomer could only obtain it once a year.

Based on the long pause between the opportunity, Kieran suspected it was something the council couldn’t present too often.

What was it if it wasn’t a way to obtain another edge over his peers?

While watching the rounds of the competition pass by, Kieran redirected his attention to the stream, reading the comments.

Several donations asked him about the skills he revealed, more specifically, the movements he executed. How could he explode with such absurd momentum?

Even an Assassin wouldn’t necessarily be able to keep up with his movement speed.

“How are you all enjoying the special event? Has the scenery been enjoyable? If so, let me see a sea of ones in the chat.”

“1!”

“1 x100!”

“1x infinity! I love you, Aatrox! You’re the best player ever. Please don’t stop streaming. Your skills are something that brightens my day.”

The chat was filled with ones and emotional comments that changed faster than Kieran could read through. Furthermore, his viewership of this particular stream surpassed 250,000, and the number showed signs of a steady increase.

At the same time, Kieran’s followers increased like symbols rolling on a slot machine in the casino.

The effects of this stream truly surpassed Kieran’s expectations. But, considering it was the first of its kind, Kieran felt he underestimated the attractiveness of giving players insight into the true abilities of NPCs.

Considering the information-gathering abilities of an Overlord Guild, Kieran decided to hear out Khaos. Although he wasn’t a friend, Kieran could initiate a video call because Khaos private messaged him.

A few seconds, a man with light orange hair and indigo eyes appeared before Kieran. Despite his position that commanded respect, Khaos possessed soft features that made him seem somewhat meek.

The first to speak was Khaos. “Greetings, Aatrox. Pardon my rudeness. I didn’t mean to interrupt your successful stream.”

Kieran was somewhat surprised by Khaos’ respectful demeanor. After all, Kieran didn’t hail from any superpower.

Yes, he was skilled, and his name was on the rise, but most Guild Masters of a certain degree cultivated a haughty demeanor.

“No worries. I decided to approach you of my free will, so be at ease. Your offer has caught my eye. I assume you’re in the Xesian Empire?”

“Correct,” Khaos admitted. “To be precise, my Advent operates out of several kingdoms—Aubrililes, Aeredale, Bellonia, Xezum—to name a few.”

“I see,” Kieran nodded. Intrigue flashed in his gaze because he didn’t realize such a strong guild was this close to him.

While he didn’t know Advent’s origins, he reckoned the reason for their current realm of activity was similar to Eclipse’s migration.

After a brief pause, Kieran continued. “What kind of dungeon did you come across?”

“I believe it’s a Lv.45 to 50 dungeon based on our findings. It’s located not too far from the Desert of Crumbling Sands.”

Kieran paused after listening to Khaos.

An imperceptible frown crept upon Kieran’s face as he internally sighed. ‘Crap... I didn’t expect people to venture there so soon. But, seeing as how he didn’t mention a mine, it’s safe to assume it hasn’t been located. The dungeon and mine are located in two different areas.’

“Could you be referring to the Mad Alchemist’s Hidden Laboratory?” Kieran cautiously inquired.

“As inspected, you’re well-informed. That’s precisely the dungeon I’m referring to. It’s a 20-man dungeon, but if you’re interested in teaming up with us, I can reserve five spots for you. That’s if you have anyone in mind?” Khaos replied.

Five spots was a generous offer because most guilds would only extend a single slot when enlisting the help of a foreign party.

“Five spots, is it? And when exactly do you intend to clear it?” Kieran asked.

He’d have to decline the offer if it were too soon.

It was just a feeling, but something told him it wouldn’t be long before the other Mythical Heroes found their inheritors.

Wouldn’t that mean his deadline for Isadora’s was coming to a rapid end?

Khaos noticed the undertone in Kieran’s voice and realized he might be busy over the next few days. “Well, my core members have stopped leveling up for the time being. So we can delay our run by up to ten days.”

“Ten days?” Kieran estimated his timeline before nodding. “That’s doable. I’ll gladly accept the offer if that’s the case.”

After finalizing parts of their deal, Kieran accepted Khaos’ friend request before closing the video call.
