Chapter 30: Reunited

Sihle leaves his gaming bed. Excited to see his little sister. He jumps into the shower and wears a decent enough tracksuit. Going to his workstation. He goes and sets a buy order for Cantos Industry stock. The difference is that he has set the at a ridiculously low price. The soon to Cantos will be up for his taking.

The rover has been waiting for him for a while already. He enters the location of the hospital.

Checking his bank balance all the money he earned from SoulStealer has already been used up. Whit his change of plans the money should come in by the end of the week at the latest. The others are already forming the companies for the guilds they will. His argument with Athena is still fresh in his mind.

She is advocating that they shouldn’t split their power especially this earlier in-game. If only he could explain to her how vast even a national ranked guilds reach is. IT is very important to have many fronts so that no one power can crush them simply. The many fronts approach is also critical if they are to grow. If they all develop under him he will stifle their growth. So it is only luck that the item he found was meant for John. Otherwise, Johns’ SKY Ocean Hunter could have been forced to do a class change that doesn’t align with his talent.

Beyond that, his sister is going to join them as she will run his guild. Raul is already setting up channels for all of them so far only he, John and Raul will have guilds. Athena has told john that she will support him. Frey/Rowena will build her team under Rauls guild and when they start to venture into the spirit realm she will form her guild there. Tatiana is busy with the dungeon alongside her specialised class as a half-giant Battlemage. With the help of Nineth Immortal/Mei, Tatiana managed to find and impress a hidden NPC master. NIneth Immortal has chosen to be in charge of the mercenary company they will all belong to.

The way Tyr/Sihle planned this out is that the mercenary company will be a team of guild leaders. First, it sounded really cool to him. Plus it’s a way to have a guild and still work as a team after all they only plan to start reading ranked dungeons at night. While most players would never hunt at night the loot increases by one rarity at low levels plus the exp gain is second only to the fighting techniques learnt. Most Solar powers use the nighttime for grinding levels it’s why they are always at the top.

The ride takes about thirty minutes as a new dome. The village isn’t very big only about a million live here at the moment. The hospital is filled with friendly people. The floors are sanitized and people are getting treated.

Sihle walks up to the counter and asks the nice nurse if he can see his sister. She nods and sends the direction over to his wrist device. It shows a display that only he can see. Since he upgraded his sister’s treatment. She has been moved to a bigger room that she doesn’t have to share. Inside she is in a medibed. She has a few tubes here and there but for the most, she looks a bit better. ‘Thinner but better’ he tells himself. The treatment really did do a number on her he wipes away a tear.

Sending her a message to come out of the folded land. The only reason he also her into such a place is that. He wanted her to experience a full life. Folded lands are vr space with accelerated time. The one she was in is speed to where one week is one year in the real world. Its the best he could afford back then when she fell ill.

Speaking through the wrist interface SIhle says, ” How are feeling?” She hasn’t seen him in a long time because of the folded land but also given his future memories. He feels a little like speaking to phantom. His face though only shows a big wide smile. She opens her bright eyes slowly.

“Sihle you look like shit fam.” She says Sihle chuckles his little sister has always been foul-mouthed.

“Well not all of us can look as good as Andromeda herself Nadia.” She smiles feeling her dry brown skin. Her shaky hands reminding him that he has to be quick this treatment causes a lot of pain.

“Thank you you should go see doctor Naomi.” She then closes her eyes returning not the folded but entering Odyessy of all the people in his life. She is only he has prepared a special class for. His week reading books was spent to give OVerwatch no doubt that he should know about the special class. He heads to the doctors’ office she is the most beautiful woman. Her simple doctors outfit making him blush as he looks at her.

Doctor Naomi says, “Please come in sit we have a few things to go over.” She details how his sister treatment is going. Revealing that the new treatment is a stop-gap and he will need a much more expensive treatment to treat the radiation poisoning she is suffering. Baron International has not been using up to standard water purifies in their factories.. Which has lead to this poisoning but their lawyer are very good and very powerful. She goes over how the phased treatment is best gradually it should allow her to live a normal life. Then comes the kicker the price of this treatment is four hundred thousand credits a month Sihle agrees immediately to the course of treatment. He will make that money come hell or Martian dust storm.

On the ride back his sister sends him an invite to with her new profile Andromeda. He smiles at her choice of name. She is heading to a secret location where they produce the special class. This is a lifestyle special class that bleeds into combat. These will become more popular late game as the high-level maps even have demands of lifestyle players. Having a Technomancer will be a real boost for them. Especially once he gets his hands on an Isle deed.

Sihle finally makes it back home sending messages to everyone. In the time he was with his sister they have all completed the ten dungeons and earned the plus ten stat points for each stat. SKY Ocean Hunter is going to go to the Water goddesses temple. Styx has created a forum available for half a credit. It is regionally based and reads in bold ‘how to get ninety stats.’ Styx’s tip is very popular in a few minutes being bought by over five hundred thousand players in an hour. Styx hopes to improve the quality of players so they can recruit better stock. Plus the seventh dungeon is a must for all players

Styx is trying to figure out what he needs to unlock the blade he got THousand Styles Miles. Tatiana is heading to Giant realm for a while because of her streamers goal. Lux is doing whatever she likes. Frey is doing a quest she found that is solo. Nineth Immortal has given on waiting for Tyr is going t get her own monster pet. Tyr feeling a bit bad does suggest the temple ruins close to where SKY Ocean Hunter is going the divine magic should at least in theory only allow creatures that are compatible with it to survive in the area.

Tyr logs back in he are in the middle of a fight with the mushroom orcs. Tyr fights his hardest eventually as he is killed the Mushroom Stalk in the background is destroyed. With this, he is victorious in death. This is a strategy many places will come to admire in future losing a battle and one life to secure the war. The Mushroom stalk is not a thing that can be regrown quickly. IF they had really been attacked this would have been a decisive victory for him because as a player he could always rally his forces and with no way to make new orcs it would only be a matter of time before they are served up.

Tyr clears his Sovereign-class quest. to his surprise, the three branches in his Sovereign are similar to his three classes only they have no names but the bonuses he can unlock all have to do with another trading, engineering or diplomacy. Tyr thinks back he might know some with a similar class but he can’t for the life if remember the players’ name. If only he wasn’t so distracted he might have remembered a man he saw in the Adventure Union building a top existence from The Thaw family.

Tyr sets this aside he has his own things he heads to Medium Bunz picking up all the items they have produced from his hauls. They are mostly common items but it is much than he thought he would. The lifestyle players have not let him down he has all kinds of meals, bread, drinks, basic potions, common items. To players these are worthless but to a region in decline. A life Line that he will build them up with. First thing thou he rushes out of Pike head north on the main road to another coastal village. It has a quest that he needs to trigger. Arriving in town. The villagers look pathetic drained of life. even the players just ignore them. He goes to the town hall. It’s a small wooden building.
