James decided to sleep and unwind for the 10 hour flight home, he had spend the last 2 days in-game doing a lot of stuff, and he would be challenging his Tier promotion quest next. At his level that quest could take well over 5 days, and he only had 1 shot to get the best possible rewards. Needless to say, he had to be rested for the next day.

While James was taking his well deserved rest, the rest of the team was franticly studying, except Iron of course, who was still crafting equipment. Everyone was more motivated than ever thanks to the fact that most of the big guilds where catching up to them, the game had been live for around 4 days by now, and most of the expert players of those guilds had made it too level 15 already, it would probably only take them another 3 or so days to catch up to them in level, and from what they had read in their information packets it would take them 3 days at the very minimum to complete their quest if they wanted the grade that James told them to get.

Getting back into the office late at night after a good rest, James proceeded to check up on all of his teams, most of the members where sound asleep, getting a final rest before they would take on their Tier promotion quests, a few of them where doing some final reading and where also prepared to head to bed. James on the other hand, now fully rested and ready logged into the game.

Login in James found himself in the lost ruins of the Thunder Empire, completely alone, everything that had shown a little bit of mana before had all crumbled, seemingly gone with the last of its people. James didn't pay too much mind to this and made his way out, he had no other business in this place and he didn't remember anything but this quest to be here.

His journey back was as painful and long as the one to the Empire, by the time he came back to the city most of his teammates had logged back on and where making their final preparations for their Tier up quest. James was doing the same, buying potions and other basic necessities, but he also needed to make one last stop by the shop and Irons workshop.

Firs going by the shop James requested the report from the NPC clerk he had hired, pretty much any piece of equipment that Iron had brought in had sold, even the higher grade ones that James had set as exclusive for their allies, it seemed that the dragon-phoenix pavilion had hurried to clean out the shop. In total the shop made over 2000 gold, an astonishing amount, most super guilds would probably have this as their whole capital at the moment, and they had thousands to millions of gold farmers, but James kind of expected this, currently everyone in the city wanted pieces of equipment from his store, he had the best of the best, and since he tasked to NPC to increase and decrease the price of equipment based on supply and demand, no wonder he had so much money. After looking at the report some more he also discovered that more than a 1000 gold had already been taken out by Iron, probably to get more materials, that would probably last him at least a month, if we don't include epic or legendary materials, so James found it reasonable.

Now done with his monetary business James walked over to the blacksmithing workshop Iron had rented, when he walked in he couldn't be more surprised, Iron seemed like a dead man walking, he was moving like a robot and looked like a zombie, James didn't need long to figure out what happened, Iron had not slept or logged out since he last saw him.

"You're not looking too good Iron, you can take a break you know."

Iron turned around and tried to focus on James with his sleepy eyes.

"yea, I know, I was going to take a break after this, here you go by the way."

Iron then tossed a 8 piece level 20 set equipment at James [armor of fortitude], when James inspected it he couldn't be more surprised, normally this should have been a Fine-Gold grade armor set, this was already one of the best equipment sets one could get right now, it being even slightly more powerful then wearing 8 pieces of Dark-Gold grade armor, but the armor James was just given was at the Dark-Gold grade, making it as good as 8 pieces of individual Epic-Grade armor.

"You got lucky hu Iron."

Iron just sighed.

"You can say that again, in all 12 sets I made for the guild I only managed to get the upgrade effect on 12 pieces, and luckily I got close to no duplicates."
