Re: Evolution Online

to mold and refine the small soul bead.

His progress in this technique and how far he had come were very obvious. Liam ’s gaze flickered in excitement, but he still patiently continued the work.

DANG. DANG. DANG. DANG.

Dull sounds echoed as the soul bead was slowly refined.

Meanwhile… as Liam was calmly going about his business… the entire world, both inside and outside, descended into chaos.

At first, the flash headlines and online forums exploded with the news about the latest guild achievements of ’Crimson Abyss. ’

Though these achievements were not a huge deal, the impact was explosive mainly because no one else had figured out a way to develop their guild residences to such an extent.

So everyone was curious as to how the residence would look, how everything would turn out, and what exclusive benefits they might receive.

Even the look of the building was highly anticipated as this was the first S-Rank guild throughout the entirety of the game, including multiple kingdoms and empires.

Because of this new development, another tide of players began lining up to join the guild.

The fact that other guild players were hunting down the Crimson Abyss guild members also seemed to slip everyone ’s minds conveniently.

With such an overwhelming incentive to join the guild, dying once or twice seemed trivial.

So everyone excitedly discussed the prospects of joining the guild and how much they would be able to gain if they did.

Not to mention, a guild residence took only a couple of hours to be fully constructed.

This made the excitement and fervor that much more exaggerated with even bets being placed as to where the location might be.

Surprisingly, this information was rather secretive as no one seemed to know the answer. Rather, the people who knew about this were busy doing something else.

And just like these players, there was also another set of players who were very busy and couldn ’t care less about the new guild residence being erected.

These were the players who belonged to six small no-name guilds in the Gresh Kingdom.

At the moment, these six guilds were all going all out in preparation for entering the spatial rift and for fighting against the demons.

They did not hold back as they sent in-game notifications and real-world emails to all their guild members, calling everyone to assemble.

Not only that but they also used all of their guild reserves, top-tier equipment, at least the ones they could afford, and prepared all sorts of things including potions and other consumables.

They pulled out all the stops and fired on all cylinders, not sparing a single expense.

They acted in a mad frenzy as if they were spurred from seeing the constant achievement notifications of the ’Crimson Abyss ’ guild.

Why should that guild alone hog all the achievements?

The world might not know but the hot and trending guild at the moment had actually come and fallen at their feet, begging for a truce.

If ’Crimson Abyss ’ can become so popular overnight because of a few achievements, their guilds could also become as popular!

With the fire to win and promote themselves, all the six guilds worked tirelessly.

They knew that they had only one chance to attempt this properly with their full force so the guilds took their time preparing.

Though they wanted to succeed at all costs, they did not want to act rashly and fail even with the answer ket to the question in their hands.

There would be nothing more shameful than this.

However, this was only the six small guilds.

The seventh guild, the Assassins guild, who had also received the information from Liam did not think along those lines.

Liam only mentioned it once, but Abraki was quick to catch the point.

He only made adequate preparations and started the spatial rift as soon as possible without delaying things.

They were also very hush-hush and silent about it, with Abraki ordering everyone to keep a tight lid on things so no one knew that they were already starting.

Only when a couple more hours passed by just like that uneventfully, suddenly an unexpected achievement popped out in front of everyone inside the game.
