As such, in the downtime I had spent getting everything back together, many of you had perished at the hands of the Rank 3 Void Devourers." "This is mostly my fault, as I had a plan to keep most of you alive, but was caught unprepared by the ambush of an old foe. We have swallowed a bevy of rewards, but it could have been much better had we all survived to the end." Eva began her speech. ![]() "The Abyss World Event has come to an end, and Umbra - as expected- reigns supreme in the individual and Guild Rankings. Many even had time to pursue other fancies like building clans in Vita City-State and the like, while some hardly came back home as they were fervently exploring the entire continent.Įva climbed up the podium and nodded to the core members who stood at the forefront of the crowd, then to the Five Generals and Sublime who stood behind her on the podium. They were not as inexperienced or as pressured by their own lack of ability to grow compared to themselves in the past timeline. This all bled into why Umbra's members were seemingly nonchalant. This was seen by the fact that the player's foundations were so poor that they got stuck semi-permanently at Rank 6, not even able to reach Divinity much less cross into other sections of the game after so long.ĭraco and Eva had completely fixed this problem overall and had fortified the foundations of all players with each event that came, enlightening them more than their past selves through a bevy of means. In truth, the previous timeline's AI had the right goal, but its means had been very inefficient. In this timeline, the AI was acting considerably softer since it had delegated this brutality to the two reincarnators, Draco and Eva. Participation had been mandatory, forcibly making them stronger while bearing great losses due to their own weaknesses. Back then, World Events had sprung up without prior warning. This was the difference between the majority of the top players in the last timeline and this one. As for the 7 levels lost, that was quite a problem but nothing they couldn't resolve in time. Waiting out the 48-hour exp limitation and the stat debuff was merely at the level of a mild annoyance. ![]() However, the members of Umbra were not bothered by this. Those who had been killed had revived with a loss of 7 levels, -45% exp gain for 48 hours and a -65% to their stats for 24 hours. Once the players of Umbra saw Eva enter the room though, they immediately quieted down and arranged themselves properly.Īs everyone aside the core members had perished at the hands of Rank 3 Void Devourers, they had been hit with serious debuffs. They spoke about the great performances of the various core members while theorizing about the sudden attack and disappearance of the Lady Boss. There was a chattering crowd within that were loosely organized, talking about the event they had just partaken in and the illustrious rewards. Not like she had any actual work to do, she was just down here to greet guests.Įva took the elevator to the floor for the Guild Assembly Room. Eva simply returned the greeting and didn't bother to reprimand her in any way. Upon seeing the first Vice Guildmaster, she quickly closed her tab and rose to her feet, greeting Eva with respect. She just ignored the crowd, slowly and stately entering the Guild Hall to see their unbothered secretary who, as usual, was playing solitaire on her PC. Not that Eva ever cared about what those unaffiliated with Umbra did in their own time. Some guilds had even started scouting those fellows to add them to their ranks. Ironically, there were even some bastardly fellows who had started using the test as a training regime, honing their skills with every attempt in order to reach a certain standard of skill. ![]() Of course, passing via such a method would be almost impossible due to how strenuous Eva had set it up to be. Most of these businesses were restaurants and lounges, with a few hotels thrown in, catering to the players who refused to give up on Umbra's recruitment test and tried every day. In fact, some enterprising fellows had long-since established businesses nearby to capitalize on the fame of Umbra's building to rake in profits. As usual, there was quite a crowd before the skyscraper that was the Rank 7 Guild Hall.
