Chptr 41 Update Info

During the seventh day update, Ajy was browsing the forum of the game regarding the game update. There were four major update mainly the map expansion, kingdom travel, level update and the guild battle tournament.

Every kingdom in the game would be expanded, meaning that the land area of each kingdom would be doubled and there would be additional leveling maps, dungeons, towns, cities and villages to cater the leveling speed of every player.

Kingdom travel would be the most unique update so far since players from other nations can now travel to other nation's map. Meaning, players can now travel to other kingdoms and play on their respective map and vice versa. It would be like going to other countries and staying there for good or temporarily. But, they can only travel to other kingdoms belonging to the same empire. Since there were seven continents on earth, the creator of the virtual reality game also chose to have seven empires: Blue Flame Empire, Azure Empire, Inferno Empire, Mystic Land Empire, Frost Empire, Black Stallion Empire and the Revenant Empire.

Before this update, players could go to other kingdoms by using the teleportation, the problem was it was worth a million gold and a lot of players couldn't even afford it.

In the beginning, every player started in the Beginner's Village but once they took their own classes, they shall now choose in which empire and kingdom they wanted to go. Once they have chosen their respective kingdom, that would be their permanent residence. Sky Kingdom doesn't belong to the Filipinos, there were other players from other nations like Peerless Saintess who was Dutch but since the Soaring Phoenix Guild was the number one guild and being owned by a Filipino, others proclaimed that it represented the Philippines.

As for the leveling update, it was maxed at Rebirth 100 and currently, no one has been able to achieve this level since the highest was Rebirth level 11. But during the update, the level was maxed at Godhood 1000. Reaching the Normal level 300, the players could only take up the quest to reach Rebirth level. After reaching the Rebirth 500, players would still take up another quest to reach the Godhood level. After reaching the Rebirth level, the exp during the Normal level would be doubled so the leveling speed would slow down. Reaching the Godhood level, the exp during the Rebirth level would be tripled so in order to reach the next level, a ten day exp grinding would be required. This Godhood 1000 was announced by the W.A.R. game company to be the final level that a player could reach and there shall no another update again.

The last update was the guild battle tournament, every guild were eligible to join the tournament as long as they sign up for it. This tournament would commence next month and would be finished also in a month. There were three stages for this tournament, the audition stage, qualifying stage, semi-final stage and the finals.

Audition stage will be the start of the tournament meaning every guild in every kingdom shall have an all out battle with all the guilds in their respective kingdom and the five guild standing shall now move to the qualifying stage. Qualifying stage would be a point system battle. The five guilds from each kingdom would have a round robin battle and every win shall get them 3 points, 1 point for draw and nil to the losers. The two guilds with the highest points would then climbed up to the semi-final stage. As for the semi-final stage, it would be a bracket system. Every qualified guild in each empire would be randomly paired and the last guild to emerge would have a ticket to the final stage. Since there were seven empires, there would be a total of seven guilds to battle during the finals. The rules in the qualifying stage would also be applied in the final stage, the three guild that had the highest points shall be crowned the champion, first place and second place respectively.

It was also announced in the W.A.R. forum that the final stage of the guild battle competition shall be held in China since they were the first to be crowned the Sovereign Guild. The finals would lasts for seven days, so each qualified guild would be going to have two battles in a day. The last day would also be the coronation for the champions.

Various comments could be seen in the forum after posting the information regarding the one week update. There were those who were dissatisfied after learning the leveling information. Normal players took a lot of effort to level up and if it would take ten days to level up then these players would take more time to level up. Some players justified the game company stating that this kind of leveling would make the game more worthwhile and if it was capped only at Rebirth 100 then a lot would be disinterested to continue playing the game.

Regarding the kingdom travel, there were players who were worried because of invasion, stealing, more pk and grinding would be more difficult. Some business minded took this kingdom travel as a new opportunity to earn more money. Others were delighted since they could now go and meet with their friends and play with each other.

The one that hyped the masses was the guild battle tournament, it was the time for the great minds to appear on the battlefield, the tacticians. Several guilds were now attracting the attentions of the so-called tacticians and were appeasing them by giving gifts or satiating their desires. There were also small guild who were force recruiting members thinking that the more players they have, the more chances that they could win. They prefer quantity over quality. There were also guilds who were planning to unite their guilds to create one strong guild and then enter the tournament.

For the big guilds, they prefer the quality over quantity. They were now poaching high leveled players to join their guild. And in the forum, a high leveled archer was actually poached by the Magnifico guild and they even posted it to gain more attention. This archer was actually a leader of a small guild but with the benefits given by the Magnifico guild, he would immediately pass his guild leadership to his one guild member then he would transfer.

A lot of things were happening before the game even open again, but Ajy was disinterested since the update could nor or less affect him. His level was still so low so it would still be far for him to reach the Rebirth level. As for the map expansion, he would just try to go explore and experience this additional leveling maps, towns, cities, dungeons and villages. For the kingdom travel, he was already happy in the Sky Kingdom so he has no plan to explore nor go to the other kingdoms unless it was required for him to do so. As for the guild battle tournament that hyped a lot of guilds, he didn't even bothered to check the rules of the tournament since his guild was just founded and haven't stabilized yet since he only had a few guild members.

After checking the game forum, he only instructed the others on what they were gonna do once they logged in. Nina (Once Jewel) would be accompanying most of the members to level up and reach level one hundred in a few days. Ruby (Gem) should go on her own and experience leveling alone. Ran (Blood) would go to the battle arena and dominate it. Auntie Lave (Trinity Soul) she's going to establish a lifestyle guild and be the leader of it. Kay-at (Royal Spirit) should collect information regarding players that have experienced being forgotten to join them. Erka (Unloved Woman) she was the one whose going to recruit players outside the game who haven't yet tried it. Of course, she would only recruit those who were forgotten and Ajy would buy them their gaming equipment. As for the others, they would all go with Once Jewel.

Letty (Ran's sister) was also given her gaming equipment and was so thrilled as she kept on grinning the whole day. She couldn't wait to logged into the game. She would also join them since she also knew the feeling of being forgotten. Her dad used to love her mom and he was so happy when she was born but after knowing that her mom had a son from another man, he was so mad that he physically injured her mom before leaving them. When she was at the age of ten, she asked the name of her father from her mom, after learning her father's name, she secretly went to meet him. He was already married and has two children, she told him that she was his daughter but his father told her, "I don't have a daughter from a slut!"

Ever since then, despite trying to be closer to her dad, she never looked at him again. She even despised her paternal father for the longing of a father was denied to her at an early age. She also remembered the disgust of his father when she told him that she was his daughter. It broke her heart at a young age that her own father has forgotten his own daughter.
