Lux, Thoram, and Keelan stood rooted to their spot when they heard the Worldwide Announcement.
Right in front of the three of them were two words, floating in the air, which spelled out the name of Lux's Guild.
Heaven's Gate.
Boreas, who was standing a few meters away from the three, looked at the name of the Guild that hovered in the air. It turned out that he wasn't just seeing things.
However, just to be sure, he opened his Soul Book and went to the Guild Page to confirm whether everything he had heard and seen was real.

"Hyeok!"
Boreas almost choked on his saliva after reading the guild information in his Soul Book. He didn't expect that the Guild that he casually joined would be the first ever Mythical Guild in the whole world.
Originally, he planned to leave Lux's Guild as soon as it was created. Now, even if Lux were to kick him out of the guild, he would cry and hug the Half-Elf's thighs, begging to let him stay in his guild.
With so many benefits just by being part of Heaven's Gate, Boreas wouldn't leave it even if Lux insisted to get him out.
Leave the only Mythical Guild in the World?
Hah! Only dumb people would do that! I'm not dumb!
Thoram and Keelan, who finally regained their wits, looked up at the Half-Elf beside them in disbelief. If not for the fact that they were inside the Guild Creation room, and had watched Lux register his guild properly, they would still be doubting if they were right in the head or not.
"Lux, my boy, it seems like you made some of my Riders your Guild Members just to reach the quota for guild creation," Thoram cleared his throat. "Do you know what you have done?"
Lux snapped out of his daze and looked at the Commander of the Stronghold with an apologetic expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, Sir Thoram," Lux replied. "It was a bit selfish of me to ask your men to join me in order to reach the quota for creating the guild."
"Right." Thoram nodded. "But that is not the problem here. You invited my Riders to your Guild, but you forgot to invite me. Lux, my boy, it seems that you skipped some steps. Shouldn't you have invited me in as well?"
"Yes. I am very sorry that I–Um?" Lux, who was about to apologize again, caught himself right in time after hearing Thoram's words. He thought that the Commander was nagging at him for asking his Riders to join his guild without his permission.
"Sir Thoram, could you please repeat what you said? I think I didn't hear you right the first time."
"You're so young, and you already have trouble hearing? Well, you're in luck, boy. Since I can help you handle some of the guild affairs if you make me one of the officers of your Guild. Relax, I have plenty of experience managing people. My Commander title isn't just for show, you know?"
Keelan, who was just listening to the conversation, also cleared his throat.
"Being the Guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild, I have a keen eye on people. Hey~ the moment I saw you enter my Guild Branch, I knew right away that your future is bright," Keelan commented. "But I can tell that you don't specialize in handling human resources. Fortunately, the Adventurer's Guild is a free organization and doesn't keep their Guildmembers in a tight leash.
"We are able to join or form guilds of our own as we wish as long as it doesn't get in the way of our duties. I also have plenty of connections, so why don't you let me handle information gathering and the other small stuff? Thoram here can handle the rest. What do you say? I'm sure you will need someone like me in your Guild as well."
The two Dwarves flanked the Half-Elf and looked at him as if they were looking at a golden goose that they wouldn't allow to escape.
Thoram even gave Boreas a subtle gesture to make sure that the door was properly secured so that no one could come in or out of the Guild Creation Altar room and discover what was happening inside of it.
Thoram and Keelan were no fools. For the time being, the identity of Lux's Guild must be kept secret for as long as possible.
No one knew what a Mythical Guild was capable of, and even the Highest Ranked Guilds, which were Adamantite-Rank that had millions of members, didn't have the same perks and Guild Buffs that Lux's Guild currently had.
Actually, Adamantite Rank Guild only had the Guild Buffs, 100% Health, Mana, and Stamina Regeneration.
Compared to the special buffs that Lux's Guild possessed, the highest ranking guilds in the world looked like second rate guilds!
"Boy, what are you waiting for?" Thoram patted Lux's arm. "Invite us already."
"Hey~ I might change my mind, you know?" Keelan said while playing with his beard. "It is best to make me a guild member before I turn you down."
The two Dwarves were releasing auras that made Lux feel that they wouldn't accept no as an answer. So in order to get out of this tricky situation, he did what he had to do and added Thoram and Keelan as members of his guild. He immediately promoted them into Guild Elders.
Just like Boreas, Thoram and Keelan were surprised to see the amazing Guild Buffs that were available to the members of Lux's Guild.
Aside from the very high Health, Mana, and Stamina Regeneration, the thing that captured their attention the most was the increased experience points, as well as the 100% Chance to learn Skills from Beast Cores.
In truth, there was only a 30% Chance that you could learn a skill from a Beast Core, so learning High-Level skills from Deimos, Argonaut, Dreadnought, and Empyrean Ranked Beast Cores was a very costly thing to do.
With the Guild Buffs available to them, they no longer had to worry about such a thing.
But it didn't end there. For Manager and Commander Ranked People like Keelan and Thoram, the 100% Immunity to Charm and 20% Bonus Success Rate in Crafting items was something that made them look at their Soul Books in disbelief.
Although rare, there were a few people that had very powerful Charm Skills in the world. Once you were charmed by them, you would be unable to resist their orders, so people seated in high positions were prime targets to be charmed.
The 20% Success Rate was also something that was much coveted by craftsmen like Blacksmiths, Alchemists, and other artisans who relied on luck to create anything with a rank above Mythical Rank.
"Lux, we need to talk about some serious issues concerning our guild," said Thoram, who clearly understood the consequences of such guild buffs. He knew that if word of this got out, Lux would be the target of people's envy and jealousy.
It might even put the young man's life in danger because some would aim for his life in order to erase his existence. His guild members wouldn't be spared either because the enemies' main goal would be to prevent Heaven's Gate from becoming strong.
In order to avoid such situations, Thoram and Keelan wanted to make sure that the Half-Elf fully understood the ups and downs of being the Guildmaster of the only Mythical Rank Guild in the world.
An hour later, Lux once again put on the Mask of Thousand Faces before leaving the Stronghold of Norria, alongside the dumbfounded Cai and Keane, who were looking at their Soul Books in disbelief.
