The Whiter Clover Guild didn’t have a proper office. They created a temporary guildhall in a large stable.
Zayn didn’t expect much, but the restoration of the stable progressed further than anticipated. The guild members used firm oak plants to replace the uneven ground, removed everything unnecessary, and transformed it into a proper guildhall.
The Guild Association provided a mission board and several other devices required to accept and complete missions. The ba...

Zayn dealt the finishing blow to more than a dozen bounters, and he immediately integrated the Soul Essences into his Hidden Class Path.
[Soul Lord – Hidden Class Path – (805/1000)]
‘If we proceed to grind for two or three hours, we could…’
Zayn shook his head. He glanced at the half-naked Players, who managed to survive and approached them with an amiable smile.
The Players shuddered, but they regained control of their bodies quickl...

Zayn didn’t recognize them at first because he could have never fathomed encountering them in the Magma Prairie or Forgotten Lands, but his attention landed on a few familiar Players. They were powerhouses of the past and renowned figures with significant influence all over the globe.
Those renowned figures were on the run, trying to escape the bounty hunters’ grasp.
‘Pathetic.’ Zayn nearly blurted aloud. His eyes narrowed to a slit after he pinpointed the fifth future pow...

“As expected. This is amazing!” Percy exclaimed, his eyes glued to the holographic screen.
The drone recordings revealed several angles of their fight against the Hellhounds pack. The battle ended quickly, but the recordings could be used for a short video nonetheless.
It showed Zayn circling the Hellhounds as if dancing while using Blink and his other Cards to inflict deadly wounds. Meanwhile, Nicolas killed the Hellhounds that Zayn and Percy injured.

“So that’s the Magma Prairie?” Percy asked, scanning the vast, flat grassland, “I expected it to be worse.”
The Magma Prairie was a humongous flat area behind the Emberforge Mountains that broke the laws of physique. The grassland flourished and was as wide as the eye could see. It was a vast space covered in tall grasses that swayed gently with the wind.
Only a few trees scattered throughout the Magma Prairie, providing some shade.
However, the most exciting featu...

The exhaustion accumulated from overworking his body and mind for weeks affected Zayn hard now that he was one step closer to his goal.
He returned to a small town near Emberfall and chose to go offline. Once the Olympus Pod pulled him out of Forgotten Lands, Zayn heaved his body out of the gaming capsule. His head thumped badly, but Zayn decided it was not worth his attention.
Zayn left his little room and walked into the living room, where he saw his brothers working on the Boss...

Zayn hoped to help as many people as possible, but he was unsure how much of the Primordial Pantheon noticed his influence and interference.
Did they notice that he was changing the future in the first place? Did they even know about him and that he retained his memories?

Zayn didn’t have to worry about his final choice. Soul Lord felt that it was the right path for him, so he decided to pick it.
Even if one looked at it from a logical point of view, Zayn made the right decision.
A new, unknown Class was a risk because Zayn knew little about it except for the description. However, even the description of the Soul Lord’s Class Path wasn’t that detailed. It didn’t provide deep insights into the Soul Lord’s power.
Nonetheless, Soul Lor...

Initially, Zayn planned to pick another Unique Class Path called Origin Swordmaster. It was a powerful Class Path wielded by one of the strongest survivors Zayn got to know.
Although he didn’t meet the Origin Swordmaster often, he learned a lot about his Class Path and its powerful perks. It was one of the strongest Class Paths and suited Zayn decently enough to consider working toward it as well. However, the Grandmagus’ books changed his mind.

Once they jumped through the portal the world around them changed.
They were transported into a large open area in the center of a huge, but ordinary-looking library.
‘That is a little bit underwhelming.’
He didn’t expect the Grandmagus’ library to look like a…perfectly normal library. A bunch of levitating books, a handful of Grimoires and some other valuable – and extremely expensive – goods were the least he expected to find. Unfortunately, there was none of...

A pained shriek reverberated through the surroundings as an azure inferno manifested in the center of the Boss Room.
Ginormous roots pinned the Tainted Dryad to the ground, blocking her paths of escape as the inferno swallowed her.
Bottles filled with viscous liquid flung through the air in beautiful arcs and shattered upon crashing into the Tainted Dryad. The viscous liquid spread all over her body, only to fuel the azure flames.

Zayn was not over the moon with their achievements, but he had to acknowledge that Melanie and the rest had improved a lot. It would have been a lot more troublesome to kill the Tainted Dryad without any help.
It would have been a lot more expensive as well.

At the end of the day, Zayn used the Emerald Accelerant, but that potion ...

Removing the traps installed on the 4th floor wasn’t difficult. David used the professional guides and the tips and tricks given by Locksmiths, Assassins, and other Players who’d created videos about how to deactivate traps, or how to trigger them safely if deactivating wasn’t a secure option.
Zayn watched David’s precise movements and meticulous actions with a hint of surprise.

They defeated more than 150 Monsters on the 3rd Floor and decided to take a short break near the staircase that led up to the 4th Floor.
While not every monster dropped a Soul Essence or Card Shards, the drop rate was fairly decent.

The Tower of Nature had been considered the Golden Tower in the past. It was only a few weeks after Forgotten Lands’ launch when Players realized that the drop rat...

It was the halfway mark of the dungeon and determined whether the Players were ready to deal with the true terrors of the Tower of Nature, or not.
