Chapter 93: Consequences

Inside the Merchant, Association were a finely chopped body of the manager stews in place. Alexi has taken a step in observing the intense concentration needing to negotiate with #324 in any meaningful way. 

Medium Bunz is on her last slither of health, she is writing a shakes set of conditions. These are her final conditions she has no health to give after this. #324 has debated tooth and nail for every even if he is the one in a disadvantaged position. As it stands Alexis has already set into motion a few players to spread to the guards and some officials that the manager was killed by order of Sunken Reef. 

While this might make them unpopular the immediate shock value should also have a similar effect if temporary.

Medium Bunz sends over her note. It is quickly subsumed by green and black gold. In a burst of flames, #324 vanishes restoring everything outside to its normal flow of time. 

Alexi says, ” What happens now?” Even as the winner Medium Bunz looks grave #324 has exacted a high price. Even if she managed to limit his demands to commissions, their nature and time limits make Medium Bunz believe that she much have accepted impossible tasks. 

—Message from Medium Bunz—

/Medium Bunz – I need to make a report. 

/Styx – Did you fail? 

/Tatiana – It’s fine we can make other plans.

/Frey- what happened?

/Tyr – No way she failed I pick good people. 

/SKY Ocean Hunter-…

/Medium Bunz- I didn’t fail but we have to go over. 

/SKY Ocean Hunter – We have a few hours left we will do it in the real.

/Omnicronlyre – This is a really cool channel what is this about? 

/ Frey – ????

—SKY Ocean Hunter has closed the chat —

Tatiana says, ” I ask you to not make a scene.” She has snuck her way towards her team. They are sitting in a dense brush waiting for reinforcements.

Omnicronlyre says, “You are not the one who got ganked. Do you know how it feels to die and lose two levels? I’m not that good at combat yet. Every level matters to me.” 

Lelo says, ” That’s right signed up to dig into the most hidden company in the universe.” The Force blade runs her half Uruk elbows. 

Tatiana says, ” I know its not easy but this is the road we chose as leaders. You guys have to follow.” Tatiana is their real-life boss of the core members of the team. They are hired to do a specific thing for streamering the channel and help her achieve her real goal. 

Azula says, ” We are not trying to quit. It’s just that it seems we purposefully seeking trouble. Just look in less than a day we are involved in battles all over the place.” Azula speaks softly but the excitement she felt for Odyessy. Personally, she thinks the stronger more experienced players are rookie hunting. 

Tatiana says, ” I like this path better. Strong guilds don’t stand out, we need to beacon of activity to attract the eyes of major backers.” She is well versed in the outside world of corporate aspects of the game. 

Boa-bob says, ” Why do need a major backer. At the top, its different parts of the same seven-headed dragon. “

Tatiana smiles and says, ” exactly while the main head has formidable defences. But some other parts are neglected and can be pierced. Plus the most effective operatives work best on the inside.” 

The team agrees with her even the soft-spoken Koraa lets out a ‘Hell yeah!’ As the crew waits for back up they discuss the battle and they can improve. Being in a premier guild will put pressure on them to succeed. 

Styx is one of his last kill the pursuit of real opponents an exhilarating experience. The eastern side of the Red Iron Islands jungle is little with loot bags. The enemy team quickly learnt what happens when a healer tries to revive someone in the middle of this bog. 

Styx says, ” If we keep going like this we will be level twenty before we reach the encampment amor. ” He gives Frey a hug that allows him to take advantage here and there. 

Frey says, ” Stop silly, we are still in the middle of your crazy plan.” 

Styx says, “It’s not crazy I’m telling this is the island we need to succeed.” 

Lordo says, “How do you know boss?” 

Styx says, ” Cabron it was totally luck. When Tyr give us access to the world map. It clicked in place of course the text doesn’t spell it outright but look carefully at the shape of Red Iron Island. Plus look at the text that Umbra brought me about the Shifting Island event. It’s the only one that matches the description.” Styx shows him a map of all the shifting islands though still heavily under a fog. The outline of several large islands can be seen Red Iron Island is not the biggest but it is the only one that looks almost perfectly geometric kite. 

Lordo says, ” And this means we risk everything put our full effort in this island why?” 

Frey says, ” The text reading it carefully and you will it outlines that the true prize is one of the islands. This prize is the jewel of the seas. The crowning achievement of a second realmic engineer.” 

Styx says, ” Exactly if you look at the imperial what does it remind you of.” 

Lordo takes a moment to analyze the flimsy information. His eyes go wide as he sees a clear resemblance between Red Iron and the Imperial Crown Jewel which is a kite-shaped jewel with a round minor jewel in the middle. Much like how Red Iron island central volcano makes it look like a small jewel in the centre of the island. Lordo says, ” Still what exactly is here we have basically dedicated all our manpower to this one endeavour.” 

Frey says, ” We don’t have the manpower or skill to not take advantage of what we can. This method allows us to secure the Red Iron then once we do that we can investigate what is on the island exactly.” 

Umbra pats Lordo on the shoulder and says, ” Ja the notes I found are only hints we still have to do the leg work ourselves. Styx just found a way to make sure we have time to investigate.” 

Styx says, ” It wasn’t really my plan, Tyr wants us in control of all the resources here since we don’t have much military power yet we can use economic power. Since it is enforced by the system through reward our mission from the old man on the beach basically means we will own most if not all the strategic points on Red Iron island.” 

Lordo and Umbra nod they are growing more confident in Frey and Styxs leadership. Umbra wonders how Esame’el is doing she misses her friend but this is only temporary after all.

Shadow returns from scouting to around he had to be sure there were no more enemies in the immediate vicinity. 

Styx says, “Let’s move the first encampment is not far we can rest while scouting.” Everyone waits for Frey to nod before moving out. 

Styx and Frey walk hand in hand, Umbra Lordo and Shadow are collecting all the loot bags beside a few extra potions nothing really stands out. They venture deeper into the marsh. 

Each team of Sunken Reef has edged closer to their individual tasks. Their enemies continue to move about skulking about in shadows. 

SoulStealer is reading various reports while levelling his Brightlord class has some interesting abilities if only he can get his level high enough and find the right support skills. 

Like most players, they are starting to realize that ranked dungeons awards skills. Due to the lack of item drops pursuing skills is the most logical method to improve themselves. 

Aria is sitting on a sleek sliver stealth shuttle. She is leaving the backward Martian planet. She has to many interests that need to be placate. Her recent excursion has many eyes especially those of a rival corporation daughter who just so happens to be engaged to the man she had her last meeting with.

Aria foray into Odyessy is about to begin and she plans to use it to solidify her position as CEO. Being a young girl means that slot if her fellow board members are eyeing to displace her. She won’t allow it this is the pinnacle of diplomacy and she won’t be forced off the stage before even reaching the beginning.

Sihle logs off after talking some more the girls all decided it was best if they tackle this tomorrow. Sihle sits up going over some messages about the portfolio and the current economic state of the company.

He sends the appropriate response and starts to carefully write a note to his sister. She has ignored him the whole time since she logs onto Odyessy. He understands to her it’s a short time because she is used to spending most of her time inside a folded land where time runs much faster than even that of Odyessy.
