The war ended with the Emperor Guild’s victory.
It was only natural, since the hostile guilds had no core members left, having lost those who occupied the dungeons and those who attacked the village. In such a situation, it’s not an exaggeration to say that there was little they could do.
Well, I heard that the remaining remnants attacked at dawn, and a large number of dead hostile players logged in at the same time……
But Aizen, who somehow got the information, made a preemptive strike.
A surprise attack is only effective when the opponent is unaware. If they already know, it’s meaningless. So, Aizen counter-attacked and wiped out the hostile guilds that had attempted a surprise attack, and that was the end of the war.
As soon as they logged into Twilight, the Emperor Guild members would kill them as if they were waiting, so they were in a helpless situation. Some guilds admitted defeat and tried various ways to resolve the hostile relationship, but that wasn’t easy either.
Since they were the ones who initiated the hostile relationship, they needed the Emperor Guild’s consent to lift it. Realizing this, the hostile guilds even begged for forgiveness, and Aizen offered specific conditions in exchange for forgiveness.
100 million won in damages.
And 20 million won per dungeon owned.
In other words, if they owned 10 dungeons, they had to pay a total of 300 million won. He said he would return the guild and dungeons if they met these conditions, but who would pay more than 100 million won? Moreover, the number of guilds that had declared a hostile relationship was over 10.
If he received money from them, it would be at least 1 billion won.
In the end, the hostile guilds that couldn’t afford to pay chose to disband, and all the dungeons they owned became the property of the Emperor Guild. However, what was surprising was that while most guilds disbanded, a few paid the money Aizen demanded and got their guilds and dungeons back.
Does this mean that the value of the guild and dungeons is higher than money?
Anyway, thanks to this opportunity, the Emperor Guild’s fame soared through the roof.
A guild that has achieved a lot with the title of Twilight’s first.
In addition, with this war, it has established itself as the strongest guild that has single-handedly faced and defeated more than 10 guilds. Also, because the number of dungeons taken from hostile guilds was significant, the Emperor Guild currently holds a whopping 38 dungeons.
Even beyond the Harpe Empire, considering the entirety of Twilight, it was undeniably an unrivaled number of dungeons.
Frankly, it had become the Emperor Guild’s world.
And I……
“Welcome to the 2nd floor of the Luxury Shop.”
I reached 1,500 Fame and came to the 2nd floor of the Luxury Shop.
‘I can actually come to the 2nd floor of the Luxury Shop.’
Before logging in today, I saw a post online saying that if you reach 1,500 Fame, you can go down to the 2nd floor of the Luxury Shop, so I came straight here. I was thinking of buying some decent items if there were any, but the 2nd floor of the Luxury Shop wasn’t that special compared to the 1st floor.
‘Are they all Magic grade items?’
To be honest, they were better than the items on the 1st floor. The only downside was that they were Magic grade. Still, I looked for Rare items just in case, but as expected, there were none.
“Are you looking for anything in particular?”
Just then, an NPC man who was waiting nearby approached me and spoke.
“Um, are there no Rare items?”
“Rare items……”
‘Huh? Are there any?’
Seeing the NPC trailing off, I felt a sense of anticipation for some reason, but unfortunately, he shook his head.
“Unfortunately, there are none on the 2nd floor.”
‘None on the 2nd floor?’
Then are there any on the 3rd floor? I don’t know how much Fame I need to reach the 3rd floor, but I didn’t think it would be easy. In the end, it seemed like the only way to get Rare items was through raids.
“But there is a box that contains Rare items.”
“A box?”
“Yes. This way, please.”
When he mentioned a box containing Rare items, Gaben’s Bag, where I got the Crafting Hammer, came to mind. Anyway, I followed the NPC, and he pointed to a small box in the center and said.
“This box here.”
“This box contains Rare items?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“……”
I decided to take a look, just in case.
[Luxury Shop Box] (Special)
Description: A special box crafted by the Luxury Shop. It’s characterized by the fact that you don’t know what items are inside or what grade they are, but it mostly consists of items sold at the Luxury Shop. However, the grade can range from Magic to Unique.
━Obtain 1 random item.
(Price: 500 Gold)
Huh? Huh?
‘Special? No, it goes up to Unique?’
But the only thing I could say was that the price was crazy. 500 Gold? Who would buy this with money? Well, Aizen, who has a lot of money, could buy it, but at least I couldn’t.
‘I don’t think I even have 200 Gold right now.’
[157 Gold 24 Silver 57 Copper]
‘Tsk, I’m way short.’
Even though I sold all the items I got from killing hostile guild members at the Guild Castle Sales Shop, I was still far short of the money.
Moreover, I even completed a C-rank quest.
‘Even if I complete a B-rank quest…… 500 Gold would still be difficult, right?’
Since I already sold the +5 Turu Staff, which was my most likely source of income, for 19 million won in cash, earning Gold seemed out of the question.
“Although it’s an item that can only be purchased once per person, how about it? If you’re lucky, you can easily obtain a Rare item.”
“Only once per person?”
“Yes, that’s correct. Is there a problem?”
“No, there’s no problem.”
Come to think of it, it’s only natural. If this could be purchased indefinitely, those with a lot of money would surely deck out their equipment with Rare or even Unique items.
However, I hesitated a little about purchasing Gold with cash for this box.
‘How much would it be if I bought 350 Gold with cash?’
It would probably be over 10 million won. Of course, a Unique item is worth that much. However, I thought it was a waste to buy 350 Gold with cash, which I could save up if I put my mind to it, so I decided to wait for another opportunity.
‘Sigh, there’s no other way.’
“I’ll come back next time.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
I left the Luxury Shop, leaving behind the words that I would come back next time.
‘How do I earn 350 Gold?’
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve even earned 350 Gold while playing Twilight so far. Should I just do quests and slowly save up? Usually, if you choose C-rank quests well, you can earn 10-20 Gold each, so if I’m lucky, I might be able to save up within a month.
‘A month……’
But even a month is too long.
‘Should I sell my weapon? If I sell my weapon, I can easily get it within a week……’
[Emperor Guild’s ‘Aizen’ has invited you to the guild chat.]
“……?”
While I was pondering, I received a message from Aizen. What’s the matter now that the war is over? However, since the war was over, I didn’t think there would be anything special, so I accepted the guild chat invitation without hesitation.
“What’s up?”
━We’re about to have a guild meeting and distribute the rewards from the war. Would you like to come?
“Distribute?”
While I expected the meeting, the distribution was unexpected.
━Yes. We’re going to share the money we got from the other guilds.
‘Is he talking about that money?’
Most of the guilds disbanded, but only three paid and remained intact. And I didn’t expect him to say that he would share that money, so I was a bit surprised, but it would be ridiculous to refuse money that he was offering.
“Okay. I’ll be right there.”
━The meeting room is on the 2nd floor of the Guild Castle.
“Ah, okay.”
[Exiting guild chat.]
Fortunately, the scroll I obtained by summoning the Guild Castle was still in my Item Storage. Therefore, after leaving the Luxury Shop and the Quest Guild, I was able to use the Return Scroll to move directly to the Guild Castle, and then went up to the 2nd floor to find the meeting room.
‘Is this it?’
I read the word “Meeting Room” on the door and entered. Inside, I saw a long table and dozens of players sitting around it. Are all the people here in executive positions? That’s probably why I’ve seen all of their faces at least once.
“Ah, Rudin-nim, you’ve arrived?”
Then Heron, whom I knew well, stood up and spoke to me.
“I came because I was called.”
“Haha, is that so? Your seat is probably over there, Rudin-nim.”
The seat Heron pointed to was right next to the seat opposite the center. The center seat is probably Aizen’s, right? Thinking that, I sat down in the seat Heron pointed to, and Aizen opened the door and appeared.
“Is everyone here?”
“I think so.”
“I see.”
Aizen nodded briefly and sat down in the center seat, as I expected. And then he seemed to be about to start the meeting, but I wasn’t interested at all, as I was indifferent to the guild matters.
Well, I came here to get paid, why would I participate in the meeting?
“First, we’ll distribute the 700 million won we received from the Ash Gray Guild and other guilds.”
“Ooh.”
The guild members were amazed by the unbelievable amount. On the other hand, I tilted my head.
‘But if we divide 700 million won, how much will each person get?’
There are roughly a little over 20 people here. If we divide it, wouldn’t it be around 30 million won per person? Of course, I would gladly accept 30 million won. Honestly, 30 million won is more expensive than the second Turu Staff I sold, isn’t it?
But Aizen said something that even surprised me.
“First, 200 million won for Rudin-nim. The rest will be divided equally among the others, 20 million won each.”
‘Huh?’
200 million won? Did I hear that right?
“200 million?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”
“No, isn’t it too much?”
“It’s simply divided based on performance. Rudin-nim defended the Guild Castle and even captured the capital’s starting point with a small number of people. Moreover, you even caught an S-rank player, so no one can argue against it.”
‘Even so, isn’t 200 million too much?’
200 million won is the amount I earned in two years. It’s bittersweet to be given that much money, but I wondered if others would accept it.
“Does anyone object?”
“……”
“……”
‘Huh?’
But contrary to my expectations, no one objected. I was curious about that and looked at them with a renewed gaze. Aizen nodded and concluded.
“Let’s move on to the next topic.”
‘Well, there’s no reason to refuse.’
It’s not 12 million won, but 200 million won. Who would dislike it? 200 million is an amount that even I, with my Intuition, wouldn’t be able to earn easily, and it’s ten times more expensive than the Rare Staff I sold the other day. So, who would be foolish enough to refuse? At least I couldn’t do such a thing.
“With this war, the number of dungeons our guild owns has reached 38. It’s a significant increase from before. Therefore, we will be selecting more executives.”
“Executives?”
“Well, it’s about time we chose more.”
I don’t know what it is, but the people who were silent when the topic of money came up became noisy when the topic of executives came up. What difference does it make if we choose a few more executives? I couldn’t help but be puzzled, as I didn’t know anything.
“Will the executives be chosen based on skill, as before?”
“Yes. And we will confirm those skills in a week.”
“Wow, this is going to be busy.”
“Let’s move on to the next agenda item.”
After that, Aizen brought up various meeting topics, but they weren’t worth listening to. He just talked about trivial matters like what facilities to build in the Guild Castle and how many people to deploy in the dungeons, and ended the meeting. As soon as the meeting ended, I left the meeting room as if I had been waiting.
‘Anyway, I’m lucky.’
I was happy because unexpected money rolled in. No, I couldn’t help but be happy. I earned 19 million won by selling the Turu Staff, and I earned an additional 200 million won. Heron approached me, whose excitement didn’t seem to be subsiding, and spoke.
“Rudin-nim. What are you going to do?”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“About the executives. I saw that it was posted on the notice board as soon as the meeting ended. I was curious who you would choose as executives.”
“Well, I haven’t really thought about it.”
“Ah, is that so? That’s a shame. If you properly supported them, you could easily make one or two executives.”
Something doesn’t seem right. Heron seems to know the meaning of executives, but I don’t. Even so, I ignored it because I didn’t want to get involved in guild affairs and went down to the 1st floor of the Guild Castle with Heron.
