Chapter 48.6

Chapter 6: Ripples at Fort OdinWeed gained levels faster than when he was a sculptor as he swept away the monsters in the dungeon .

His Summon Undead skill was intermediate level 4 and he was over level 480!

He accept simple quests but refused to get involved in complex ones .

“I feel a deep darkness coming from you . A high degree of credibility is needed for this work . "

It wasn't easy to get quests from mercenary guilds due to his profession .

Weed used his fame whenever it was possible .

“Look straight at me . ”

"Don't tell me… Your Majesty?"

"Yes . Do you have any money? I hate to be bothered . "

“Just say the word . I will prepare anything . "

In the Arpen Kingdom, there were no obstacles to getting quests despite being a necromancer .

This was the sweetness of power!

“The goddess acknowledges you . I am wary of the power you handle, but it is necessary to do this work . ”

After the demon Delam, Weed even received quests from religious orders . His fame, faith, justice and honour stats were still high .

It would be hard when the achievements from Delam gradually disappeared, but the trick was to produce it when necessary .

“I feel something disturbing the world's energy . I don't have much money but I will give it to someone who researches the incidents .

“Uh, no . I’m too busy . "

-The quest has been refused . “The essence of a fairy . No adventures have found it . Won't it be great to see a treasure that has never been discovered?"

"I'm not interested .

-The quest has been refused . “There is a big monster that flies to the east . Not much is known about it . But since that day, people in this city have been afraid of a monster attack . Can you find it and kill it?"

"How annoying . Call me when it comes .

-The quest has been refused . He passed by monsters that were difficult to hunt or ingredients that were hard to obtain!

He only received quests for monster hunting in the areas he wanted .

There were many dungeons that users failed to capture on the Versailles Continent .

Dungeons that required a large number of personnel or ones with difficult monsters or magic weren't easy to touch .

Weed used Barkhan's equipment due to the high magic resistance and defense for the undead, as well as a variety of sculpting skills in the dungeons .

It felt like he completed a delayed homework every time the accumulated experience led to a level up .

“I don't have to worry too much about skill proficiency compared to my level . "

Weed wielded a sword directly in order to save on mana consumption .

His swordsmanship was advanced level 1 .

It wasn't as high as other combat professions but it didn't matter .

He had experienced master swordsmanship during his time as ruler of the desert, so he was confident that he could overcome the barrier of skill level in the future .

“It will quickly fill up when I kill a lot of strong enemies . I know many strong ones . "

Whether it was fast or a little late, it was a skill that he would master anyway!

‘Let's just think about getting stronger . Raising my level is fun but attacking dungeons isn't bad . '

His endless goal!

He wanted to clear the dungeon in the shortest time .

As well as breaking the time record set by others, he challenged boss monsters that had never been caught before .

The continued suffering of the Hermes Guild!

As Weed hunted, the stations constantly exposed their corruption .

The people's minds, that were healed through lowered taxes, shook again .

“Too many incidents have been revealed . Users will never trust our guild in the future . "

“This is a big setback to our mid and long term governance plan . "

“If we lower the taxes now… Tsk . We will only reduce the profits . "

"I agree . Some construction projects on the manor are underway but I had to stop them . That part wasn't considered by the leaders . "

The lords quietly talked among themselves . The lords who squeezed and exploited the users of the Central Continent!

From their point of view, their profits were greatly reduced due to the lowered tax rate .

They were in a bad mood because the money they needed for a construction project or welfare plan were stopped . It was like having a delicious rick cake stolen from their hands .

The lords in powerful areas didn't think it was bad to have rebels .

They could rationalize their exploitation due to the rebels .

They didn't consider the situation of the entire Haven Empire .

“Until the unification of the continent, there is only one kingdom left . The conquest isn't finished neatly due to it . ”

“Too much time has been given . I would have led an army to destroy the Arpen Kingdom sooner . "

“Wouldn't the users have revolted?"

"A campaign is needed . If a panicked atmosphere was indiscriminately planted… It was difficult to subdue the rebels . "

“The Hermes Guild isn't the same as before . "

The lords talked while drinking expensive sake .

They didn't devote their loyalty to the Hermes Guild . However, not one of them thought about going to the Arpen Kingdom .

'They will eventually be eaten by the Haven Empire . '

'Tsk . I can't get enough money or equipment if I go to the Arpen Kingdom . '

'Although there are many pretty females in the north…'

The lords were drunk on money and power .

"Cough . We haven't received the verified results yet but…"

“We can guess which finished product is better . "

“It doesn't matter if you don't win . As a natural process, I would like to celebrate as a craftsman . "

“We will admit it even if it is a draw . "

The divine metal Helium!

The two best blacksmiths on the Versailles Continent, Fabio and Herman, confidently waited for Weed .

'This is a game that I won . '

‘It was a long race . In the end, I will be the winner . '

It seemed like they had grown after becoming master blacksmiths but that wasn't the case .

As a blacksmith, they each made one sword .

This was a fight to compare the two swords in order to see who was the better blacksmith .

Weed provided the materials so it was decided that he would be the judge .

'It is totally my win . '

'Huhu . Will Fabio be able to deal with the experience and skills used to make this sword?'

The two elderly blacksmiths .

They pretended to be relaxed but were eagerly waiting for Weed like they were children .

The battle with pride became worse the older one got!

Then Weed appeared in front of the blacksmiths .

“Hmm . These swords are made with helium . "

Fabio and Herman lived in a spacious mansion with a view of Morata and the Goddess of Freya Statue .

As they were wealthy blacksmiths, their mansion was decorated with a large garden planted by elves .

As if it opened to a banquet, the sunlight shining on the wide garden cast a gentle sheen over everything .

Fabio said proudly .

“Try squeezing your hand . The feeling is nothing to be ashamed about . Huhuhu . "

The difference between thoughts and words were meant for moments like this .

Weed roughly examined the sword .

'I must make money . Hunting, hunting, hunting and hunting . '

The appearance of Fabio's black sword was enough .

The handle and sword wasn't decorated with precious jewels . It was just faithful to the sword .

Weed had made a star sculpture . He had received some enlightenment after watching the baby shaped star .

Helium was a source of mana and emitted divine power .

There was nothing lacking in the sword nor was there anything left to add . Fabio continued speaking .

"This sword… It will follow its master . It will grow together with its master . It is living helium so I made full use of its features . "

Just by listening to the description, it was easy to tell that a master craftsman made it!

“Look at this sword . I won't be ashamed by it . "

Herman also pointed to his sword .

A craftsman who spent his whole life making swords!

He was a typical gloomy man common after the 20th century!

He was showing a surprising anticipation for the sword he made .

Cold and sharp .

The helium radiated the energy of infinite mana .

An ice sword!

The sword itself had excellent attack power and it also contained the attribute of ice .

“It can also cause a disaster . "

“Disaster?”

“Don't you know better than anyone about that area? This sword can summon a black ice storm . "

It had the power to freeze enemies so there were many benefits in combat .

Any monster or opponent would find it difficult to go against the two swords .

Weed liked both swords . A smile formed on his face .

'Now I am a necromancer . For the time being, it is difficult to use Helium equipment . Of course, I won't die from it . '

He could take advantage of it using Sculpture Transformation . However, he felt unfortunate that is stopped here .

'Can I exploit them properly? They are blacksmith masters . They will make satisfactory works . '

Weed lent them Helium to help them become blacksmith masters . Even without such help, Fabio and Herman would have mastered it . Maybe they would have found a way to master it more quickly .

Weed thought about what he could extract from the two blacksmith masters from now on .

‘The beginners in Royal Road are often exploited . They are weak and easy to handle . Then why shouldn't I exploit a master?'

A conversion of an idea!

Fabio and Herman had high pride as blacksmiths .

Weed pulled out the famous Loa Sword .

The Loa Sword .

The treasures of the elves and a sword that humans considered to be the best in the world .

A heritage left behind by Hestiger .

“In the meantime, I've had a lot of trouble due to this bad sword . Thank you for creating two swords . "

The two blacksmiths cried out .

"Oh . What is that sword?"

“Amazing! A perfect and beautiful sword…"

Weed wielded the sword lightly . Indeed, a very light sword .

"It’s nothing . I just used it temporarily until you finished the swords . "

Fabio came closer .

"Really? Can I see it for a while?"

“Of course . "

A blacksmith could check the status of a weapon that wasn't theirs if the opponent showed it .

Fabio's mouth tightened as he looked at the famous Loa Sword .

'Oh my god, this sword…'

Herman was also curious .

“I will look as well .

“Here . "

Herman also examined the Loa Sword .

'Star sword . No, a god sword . He had such a sword?'

The two blacksmiths simultaneously had similar thoughts .

'Can I make this sword?'

'My sword…'

The swords they made weren't sweet anymore .

It was a sword that accomplished to become a blacksmith master and was a masterpiece among all the swords they had made so far .

Ordinary swordsmen would want to borrow it to go hunting .

However, it was inevitable that it would seem lacking in front of the best sword in Royal Road . One or two options weren't enough .

'If the material wasn't made of Helium then my sword would have been very sad . '

'Look at this sword now . '

They swords they made suddenly felt shabby .

In fact, it wasn’t that inferior but their pride had been broken .

The two blacksmiths made eye contact and nodded simultaneously .

Fabio started to talk first .

“This game… Forget it . "

“Of course . We have both become masters with similar interests . "

Herman also agreed .

“From the beginning, it was just a prank . Huhu . "

"That's right . We aren't young kids . "

I thought I created the best sword as a blacksmith master but there is still a long way to go .

‘A new goal . Becoming a blacksmith master was just a process . Make the best sword in Royal Road . '

‘An absolute sword . A sword that nobody can deny…'

The two blacksmiths started the competition again . Weed gave them advice .

“You have almost everything . The skills dealing with metals are limited so learn magic . "

"Magic?"

“Enchanting . In other words, give the sword the ultimate magic . "

"Magic…"

The two blacksmiths were troubled . But it was a temptation they couldn't avoid as they wanted to make the best sword .

Baum Dungeon attack!

Chesturo who ruled Odin Fortress in the Haven Empire, mobilized 700 troops .

300 of them were made of regular Hermes Guild users while the rest were regular users who paid for it .

“3,000 gold for participating in the dungeon attack… I had to sell most of my equipment to get the money . It is too much . "

“But it is Baum Dungeon . "

“As long as we pay the entrance fee, we can follow behind the Hermes Guild and gain a lot . Won't there be a lot of stations showing it?"

"Yes . It will be broadcasted from 12 different stations .

"KMC Media?"

“Yes . But it will only be covered and won't be broadcasted live . "

"That is unfortunate . "

“It isn't uncommon for major stations like KMC Media . This opportunity is hard for people like us . "

The general users talked among themselves .

Baum Dungeon was closed to Fort Odin but it had never been successfully attacked before .

The monsters were strong and the average level was in the mid to late 600s .

All six attempts in the past had failed but it was likely that Fort Odin would succeed this time .

“This time we will be a little bit famous . "

“Hopefully we can demonstrate our skills and enter the Hermes Guild . "

“Kuooh . That dream is too high . "

Users gathered at Odin Fortress from early dawn and waited anxiously .

The Hermes Guild members used that time to relax, while Chesturo was conscious of the broadcast and started a philosophical speech .

“Let's go!"After a long speech, Chesturo raised his sword from his position on an elephant's back .

The users applauded and followed him to Baum Dungeon .

“The lord's age is in the mid-30s . Isn't he old enough to do this?"

“I don't know . Let's do this right . A good thing is good . "

“This will be broadcasted . Broadcast . There should be a script . "

The battle at Baum Dungeon!

The Hermes Guild users pierced the way while the general users got rid of the side monsters . Nevertheless, they thought it wasn't bad because they appeared on broadcast and got some loot .

The problem occurred in the middle of the dungeon .

Kurururung!

Someone in the dungeon mistakenly stepped on a trap that caused stones to fall from the ceiling .

“Ack!

"Ah . Who? This is…"

“Either move forward or backwards . "

The minimum to come along to this raid was level 400 so they were embarrassed about triggering the trap . However, monsters then emerged . To make matters worse, the boss monster Dugniel's ambush!

The boss monster assaulted the ones who fell into a trap .

'What should we do?'

'Can we win?'

The users noticed .

The terrain wasn't good so certain sacrifices were inevitable .

In this case, those who attacked the boss monster first would be in great danger .

The general users waited for the Hermes Guild users to come out .

Only a few seconds passed .

"Hey . Let's get out of here . "

"Yes . This is wrong . We will just go to die . "

Somebody ran away and others followed . Many of the ones who escaped didn't belong to the Hermes Guild .

The Hermes Guild and the remaining users were trapped by the boss monster Dugniel .

The result was a breathtaking defeat!

Not only did the Baum Dungeon capture fail, but 70% of the Hermes Guild's participants, which equaled 230 people, died .

It was hard to count the general users but more than half of them were victims .

The broadcasters were bitter due to the decline in audience ratings from the failure, but a big issue cropped up next .

Chesturo of Fort Odin was angry after losing his life in the dungeon and being resurrected .

“With our power, this attack should have been successful . All responsibility lies with the fugitives so we will start a live-scale hunt against them . "

A massive hunt!

The Hermes Guild users who suffered damage in Baum Dungeon chased those who participated in the attack and took their lives .

“W-why us…”

“You fools . Did you think you could get away unharmed from the Hermes Guild after ruining our work?"

“It wasn't intentional . I ran because I wanted to live . "

“You were wrong so you should die . "

Not only did they suffer damage, they failed to capture the dungeon on a live broadcast and their self-esteem was hurt .

“I fought until the end . I ran away after you decided to retreat . "

“You didn't fight properly . "

"No . Didn't I fight with my life? The videos can help confirm it . "

“Don't talk nonsense . "

“I'll get the videos straight away . "

“Don’t make excuses and shut up . You shouldn't have been so weak in the first place . "

The Hermes Guild users killed the people who participated in the dungeon attack, regardless of the reason .

There were users who fought in the dungeon until the end but they didn't care due to their anger .

The lives of the general users were like flies in front of the Hermes Guild members .

The scale of the violence quickly grew in a short amount of time .

“Who are you?"

“W-we were in the same party . We're hunting together now . "

“Is that going to stop them from killing?"

“That is a little… Ah . I am a friend . "

“Just kill . There is no need for a conversation . Just wipe out everyone who was there . "

"W-why? We didn't do anything wrong . "

“I'll say it again . Done wrong? We've been silent lately so does the Hermes Guild look funny in your eyes?”

The Hermes Guild swept away the party members they were hunting with .

The users protested until the end .

“This is excessive . Didn't we pay the admission fee to go on the hunt and participate?"

“Indiscriminate killing . Does the lord of Fort Odin have that privilege? Is this the official policy of the Hermes Guild?"

There was a backlash to the Hermes Guild's tough stance .

The order was given by Chesturo so they were only doing what they were supposed to .

“Do you want to tell them that they are mistaken? You might be right . But the weak don't have any right to speak in this world . So in the end, aren't you guys wrong?"

Fort Odin was considered as one of the main bases in the Central Continent!

Chesturo was lord of a gigantic fortress so he was extremely humiliated by the broadcast . And he thought he had enough strength .

Trampling on the general users when they protested was a common occurrence in the Central Continent until recently .

“Those who protest are rebels . Remove all of them . "

The Hermes Guild users wielded their swords .

It was an opportunity to officially gain experience, loot, combat skill proficiency and achievements .

"Die . "

“Sweep it up so that none of the users escape!"

The soldiers and knights of Fort Odin kill the hundreds of users protesting .

The incident was broadcasted live by reporters who came to cover the Baum Dungeon attack .

-The Hermes Guild subduing the rebels .

-Rebels? Didn't the revolt on the Central Continent calm down?

-This is believed to have stemmed from the Baum Dungeon attack .

The reporters explained what happened during the day .

-In fact, it is hard to call them rebels .

-Let us take a look . The people were living peacefully in Fort Odin until this morning .

-Yes . Users with homes or stores were executed because they protested .

The broadcasting stations confirmed the real-time ratings and responses .

As Royal Road became more popular worldwide, the number of related stations increased .

Every country had at least 10 broadcasting stations and Internet broadcasting stations related to Royal Road .

The audience ratings were more than the country's TV dramas .

The vast Versailles Continent .

There were major companies like KMC Media and there were many users who listened to the news for their desired area .

Some stations also informed about specific regions such as the Britten Alliance Broadcasting Station .

It happened at 8 a . m . in reality .

In the early hours of broadcasting, the audience ratings started at less than 1% but exceeded 3% in 20 minutes .

Even though it was low, it was difficult to raise the ratings during this time .

“Continue the coverage… Keep exporting the videos . Do you have a video of Baum Dungeon yesterday?"

“Accompany it with the onsite coverage . "

The staff of the stations moved quickly .

“Once we get the main part out there… Check if there are any innocent dead users . "

"Yes . I understand . Leave it to the analysis team . "

“What about the videos of the Hermes Guild attacking users?"“We don't have any videos from the beginning, but we should soon be able to get it from the killed users . "

“Work on this all morning . Continue to broadcast until the regular broadcasts . ”

The ratings competition between stations was similar to a war .

Recently, Darius' exposure and criticizing the Hermes Guild had been a major area for them .

Broadcasting the events of Odin Fortress was a great chance to tilt the balance .

Obviously, the big stations quickly smelt it .

From the early days of Royal Road, large stations like KMC Media and CTS Media had increased their size by hundreds of times .

They were equipped with unparalleled resources and manpower and could sell the coverage videos to the whole world, not just domestic areas .

CTS Media was considered dull because it was the affiliate of a large company, but there were changes after the issues were sharply scrutinized .

In particular, they would use any means and methods to increase viewership if there were events that would interest the viewers .

There was no hesitation in broadcasting something inflammatory .

The PD was nervous because the director of the station directly appeared at the live broadcasting studio .

“Isn't Odin Fortress famous?"

"Yes . Head Director-nim . It is the impregnable fortress between the Britten Alliance and the Aidern Kingdom . A siege of this fortress is a tragedy waiting to happen . "

"Good . Dig properly into this case from beginning to end . Check for bad rumours and the Hermes Guild members who are normally active at Fort Odin .

“I will do so . "

"We need to make sure that viewers, who are watching other stations, come to our station . Keep in mind that our ratings should be higher than KMC Media . "

The interests of each broadcasting station was concentrated on Odin Fortress .

The leaders of the Hermes Guild finally learnt about the incident and issued an order to Chesturo to stop .

-Gigado: This is the guild's administration . Stop all attacks on the users who participated in the dungeon hunting .

Chesturo ignored the command .

The administration had slightly lower power in the guild and he couldn't stop here .

'Do they know how much damage there is from dying once? Plus capturing the dungeon also failed . I have to save face as the lord…'

Due to his anger, he had already swung the sword .

If he stopped the battle according to the command then the Hermes Guild users at Fort Odin would have no face .

'I only killed a few hundred . It became bigger than I thought due to the broadcasts but won't I look like a fool if I stop now?'

In order to become the lord of Fort Odin, power and political sense was needed .

He paid attention to the broadcast and saw that the criticism of him would grow after the situation finally ended .

Chesturo decided to push through with force .

'Let's continue to sweep the rebels Then I can diffuse the situation with the help of the friendly lords in the guild . I will sweep the users in this area once or twice . I will clean it up on my own . '

He wasn't worried about the Hermes Guild or his position as ruler of Fort Odin .

Until a few months ago, the ordinary users at Odin Fortress were prey .

Even though it was a little annoying, protests were rare .

Ruling through power!

He believed in the legitimacy of the Hermes Guild .

Chesturo, who ruled Odin Fortress, designated the protestors as rebels and massacred them .

The whole process was seen all over the world through the broadcasting stations .

“Is the Hermes Guild indiscriminately retaliating against those who don't follow their words?”

"The areas outside of Fort Odin are quiet . However, Fort Odin can be thought of as the executive branch of the Hermes Guild . "

“Then it can be seen as the Hermes Guild's actions?"

"It is highly likely that the massacre is a pre-coordinated one . "

CTS succeeded in their coverage of the innocent victims who had been killed despite fighting in Baum Dungeon until the end .

The victims were carefully interviewed and strongly criticized Chesturo and the Hermes Guild .

"I think that the Hermes Guild and Chesturo are all wrong . "

“What are their intentions?"

“They believe that they are the best . It is hard to think of this as anything other than trying to keep the users docile . "

“This isn't the right word since it is a broadcast, but the Hermes Guild shouldn't be so cocky . What is this?"

"I think I can see what they are doing . "

Due to the provocative contents, CTS Media enjoyed the high ratings .

That evening, the Hermes Guild announced its official position .

-The case at Fort Odin is unrelated to the Hermes Guild .

It was an arbitrary decision by Chesturo and we will take appropriate action after further investigation .

Although the Hermes Guild took this position, the situation didn't look good for them .

Over a thousand victims!

Even though the tax rate was lowered to appease the public sentiment, there was a mood inside the guild that the massacre was a necessary evil .

'It is unlucky that it was aired but we should show such things occasionally . Show them who is strong and enduring . '

Recently, the Hermes Guild hadn't used a lot of force .

Many people thought that it would be beneficial for the government to show their oppressive force once in a while .

In fact, there had been many cases of massacres when the Central Continent was conquered .

Once massive massacred occurred, the users became compliant and easier to ruler .

Pandwel, Pago and Rundichi .

On that day, the three lords moved their army and killed the active users of the city .

-They didn't pay their taxes . Those who don't follow the rules of the Hermes Guild aren't needed .

The lords revealed the reason for the massacre .

'This is my land and my territory . How dare they criticize me while hunting and trading here?'

They wanted to reign like kings in their area! The massacres of the three lords were relayed through the broadcasts .

-Are we surprised? Nothing has changed . The Hermes Guild was originally like this .

-Tax cuts? We shouldn't trust it .

-They have no standards and just murder those they don't like!

-Until when will we keep being exploited? Dammit .

-Look at CTS Media's broadcast right now . They felt no guilt over killing a level 30 novice user .

-They are just crazy .

Posts blaming the Hermes Guild appeared on the Internet .

‘What a nuisance . '

Recently, Lafaye had been concentrating on strengthening the empire .

He selected the best high-level users and recently increased the number of members to 750,000 . In addition, over 300,000 Imperial troops were trained .

In order to strengthen the empire, he placed them in dungeons and hunting grounds .

By lowering the tax rate to stabilize the Central Continent, it increased the military power and laid the groundwork for long-term domination .

He didn't worry about minor incidents because he was trying to get results with a lower budget .

They often committed massacres and there was rarely a day when the Hermes Guild wasn't criticized on the bulletin boards .

“At the imperial level, there will be slight damage to the ruling party . "

“Give official warnings to the lords of those regions . If it happens again then they will be deprived of their positions as lords . "

“Will that be serious enough? There are thousands of lords on the Central Continent . We will have a hard time if they complain . "

“Ensure that there is a new loyalty pledge in the guild . We will tell them that it is only for the broadcasts . The warnings aren't permanent so the lords should be fine . "

“So we don't need to be more careful . We are the ones who appointed the lords and we can take it away . "

The leaders of the Hermes Guild didn't think much about the crushing of the users .

There might be many users heading towards the Arpen Kingdom in the north but they didn't anticipate any major changes . They thought that users were already familiar with the Hermes Guild's oppressive reign .

“It isn't something that only we did, but other guilds as well . People move according to their own interests or for economic gain . The tax rate is lowered in the Haven Empire and it is advantageous to stay here so they won't leave for the Arpen Kingdom . "

Lafaye had developed the economic and technological power of the Haven Empire and there was a lot of information about adventures and hunting compared to the Arpen Kingdom, so their struggles were limited .

“This is also my opinion . "

"It is easy to buy them off by lowering taxes . People will consider it but for those who are still dissatisfied, we will push with force . "

The people were angry at the Hermes Guild's slaughter, but they were accustomed and accepted it .

They were angry for a while but it seemed like it would fade over time .

The homepage of Royal Road contained a variety of miscellaneous stories, including articles condemning the Hermes Guild .

And a local user of Fort Odin posted on the bulletin board .

I am a user of the Central Continent called 'Pint . '

I will first reveal that I am level 514 .

Of course, I don't intend to brag about my level but to tell you how I lived .

As soon as I entered the world of Royal Road, I started in the Kallamore Kingdom and became a knight .

I remember reaching level 200 and receiving a knight's sword from the king .

Numerous people praised and encouraged me so I had a little beer party .

Those were very happy days .

The early days of Royal Road .

If you are an old user like me then you will know the beauty and romance of these days in Royal Road .

Stepping out of the gates with trembling hearts to go on adventures and confronting that fear with my friends .

We combined our strength, met strong monsters and camped in the middle of the night where we heard the howls of wolves .

I didn't have the cooking skill at the time so I enjoyed the tasteless boiled potato soup .

The map of the world wasn't revealed so I had to take careful steps .

We enjoyed the pleasures of gaining achievements and expanding the area that we can explore .

The preface is too long .

I wanted to tell you a little bit about it because they are beautiful memories to me .

And now… I am now past level 500 .

Many of you must be envious .

However, my abilities are nothing to boast about in front of the Hermes Guild .

Every time I went to a hunting ground, I had to bow my heads to them and paid the admission fee .

I wanted to do some questswith the Hermes Guild and was rejected .

I have to be careful to avoid any conflicts with the Hermes Guild on the streets .

Even if they are weaker than me… Due to the halo of the guild, an individual like me can easily be trampled .

I am stronger but I have to be scared of those who are weaker .

It wasn't just death that I tried to avoid .

As you know, if you go against the Hermes Guild or protest… You would be kicked out of your hometown .

It won't be safe to go anywhere in the Haven Empire .

They were forced to leave their hometowns, persecuted and forced to sell gifts .

At some point, I only had forced laughter and smiles when playing the game .

Royal Road is so good that I can't give up this wonderful world and was forced to bow my head .

And now I will be honest .

I'm ashamed .

I haven't forgotten the humiliation I endured .

The memories of the Hermes Guild's nonsensical claims and tyranny harass me every night .

Such a thing… When I look at the damage, I get a lump in my chest .

I’m an embarrassing loser .

I am ashamed and troubled after remembering all the memories .

I want to ask .

Why are we in Royal Road?

Why do we live?

Isn't it lying to ourselves?

Can we really be happy if we sell out our pride?

I realized the precious truth too late .

From now on, I want to move based on happiness . I don't want to leave myself with painful memories anymore .

The friends and colleagues who I shared beautiful memories with died at the hands of the Hermes Guild .

I'm tired of turning a blind eye to the truth .

I will stand before the gates of Fort Odin .

I closed my eyes because it wasn't my job . I don't want to go back to when I thought it was harmless to keep my mouth shut .

The scars of cowardice will be carved into my skin forever .

Today .

I’m going to die at Fort Odin .

Pint's article on the bulletin board about Fort Odin was a hot topic as the number of views increased .

It was moved to each site related to Royal Road .

-A must see article .

-The life story of a high level user .

-Be sure to read this . There will be many people who can sympathize .

-I thought those were my thoughts . I’m only level 300 but I feel the same .

-Is the Hermes Guild a nightmare that I dreamt up?

After being transferred to hundreds of sites, the translated versions spread around the world .

It was a total hit with tens of millions of views .

The comments fiercely condemned the conduct of the Hermes Guild .

It wasn't a story but the truth .

The users who suffered on the Hermes Guild also sympathized so Pint's writing spread further .

Meanwhile, the broadcasting stations also discovered it .

“I didn't think that more attention would be brought to Fort Odin . Is it possible to get a video of the scene?"

"Yes . There are agents to cover it . "

“It seems like it would be a good video . "

“Won't it just be a few attacks? Despite being a level 500 user… It is too much to deal with alone . There won't be any accidents like there is with Weed . "

“Isn't it in the eyes of the beholder? Viewers don't want an incident but a story . A story!"

The stations focused on Fort Odin . Some small-scale stations boldly decided to broadcast the scene .

When Pint accessed Royal Road, the whispers and communication channels, that were normally ringing loudly, were quiet .

"Hu… In the end, I was abandoned by my close friends . "

He had been prepared when he wrote on the bulletin boards about Fort Odin

“I will probably be hunted . "

He was expecting things to happen .

He wanted to go even if he lose his life and his colleagues forever .

“I might not be able to meet with people again but… I won't regret my life . "

He exited the hunting ground where he connect and headed to Fort Odin .

Although his steps were heavy, he hurried to keep his promise .

Normally there would be many people coming and going from Fort Odin, but the battle today made people hesitate .

“Nobody will look at the post on the bulletin board . The Hermes Guild might laugh at me but… I will still keep the appointment . Then I will go to the north . "

Once his work at Fort Odin was finished, he wanted to go north to the Arpen Kingdom .

He already had many friends who were active in the Arpen Kingdom .

He stayed due to his fond memories of his hometown and friends but he would live a new life with his death .

He was prepared even if he had to experience dozens of deaths before crossing the border to the Arpen Kingdom .

“Let's go . Fort Odin . "

He felt complicated emotions but ultimately he felt good .

Pint left the mountain range and walked steadily towards Fort Odin .
