My SSS-Rank Class Is Blood Monarch!

Your journey continues at empire

Meanwhile, outside the tower.

"Woah! It is done! Hey, Isla, look!" Finlay exclaimed as he lifted up the huge piece of paper he finished scribbling on before he turned around to Isla who was talking to the rest of the group about their plans.

"Hm?" The girl turned around. "Did you finish the drawing?" She asked.

"Yes! Well, this is the initial plan. We are still open to modifications and additions if we need them. What do you think?" Handing her the paper, the two waited excitedly for her thoughts. They had been working on this design for days now to ensure that it was perfect and befits the greatness of this group.

"I want to see too!" Herculia peeked from the side.

"Hey, let me take a look!" Emmy replied as she peeked over Isla's shoulder.

Meanwhile, Danny simply walked to the side and tilted his head to see. Then, the group went completely silent as if they were frozen in time. Nobody made any reactions for a few seconds which made the two dwarves a little confused.

"... This…" Herculia muttered with a frown.

"Umm, is it bad?" Serko asked timidly, feeling terrified of what they thought of it.

"It's…" Emmy looked at them. "This is amazing!!"

"..."

"Is this what our headquarters will look like?! You two are geniuses!"

"Is this even possible to pull off?" Danny muttered to himself. From what he could see, this was perhaps the most interesting building design he had ever seen in both worlds. It was so unique and so mesmerizing, he didn't even think it was possible to build it here or in the real world for that matter.

"Of course! We don't design things that we can build!" Finlay nodded his head. "We can do it."

"You did great, Finlay, Serko." Isla turned to look at them with a soft look on her face before she patted their heads. "For now this is more than perfect. We rely on you to help us build it."

"Mm! We will!" Their eyes twinkled with happiness as they nodded their heads eagerly. Their motivation to build this place was now over the roof seeing how the others felt toward it.

"I want Arthur to see the design too," Serko said.

"Now that I think about it. Where is Arthur? I didn't see him the entire day." Herculia frowned as he rubbed the back of his head.

"He usually shows up here. I hope he's ok." Emmy muttered with a worried tone. She knew how reckless Arthur could be and with how he looked the entire day, she felt like he wasn't really the usual Arthur she knew.

The only one who wasn't worried was naturally Isla. She had a good idea of where he was.

"Don't worry about him. Knowing Arthur, he is probably already there." She said as she walked to the window.

"There?" Danny raised an eyebrow.

"I'm talking about the tower. He most likely already went there." She said.

"Already? That bastard really preceded us! When he comes back, I will show him!" Herculia clenched his teeth with a grin. "But, I cannot blame him. I can't wait to enter the tower either."

"Now that I think about it. When are we really going to enter the tower?" Emmy asked.

"Maybe tomorrow. We still have to check the land and then buy the necessities before we go there." Isla replied calmly as she sat down on the sofa.

"Hey, guys, take a look at this."

At that moment, Danny cut the conversation off and grabbed everyone's attention. They all looked at him.

"Hm? What's up?"

"Open… Open the Gifted Rankings." He said in a weirdly shaky tone.

A little confused, they all still did what he asked and opened the rankings. They had a hunch that it had something to do with Arthur. However, upon taking the first look, everyone was shell-shocked.

"... Am I seeing things right?" Emmy asked.

"... Yeah, I think so…" Herculia replied in a daze. "What the hell is he even doing?"

Even Danny was completely stunned by what he saw. The ranking was simply… Ridiculous.

'Arthur…' Isla blinked. Nobody knew what was going through her head. After all, this was truly something only he could pull off. Something only that maniac is capable of doing.

[2- DarkMoon: 8745 Points.]

At the same time, the real world was going haywire. Divinity Online had another shocking development that turned the media upside down and sent shockwaves across the entire world.

'Persona', the mysterious number 1 player in the entire world had done it again. They had done something so ridiculous it could not be explained. In a matter of a few hours, he had gained 5000 points… The most points gained in that short period of time since the game started.

The forums and social media platforms were raging with discussions about this sudden burst of points Persona had.

"This can't be real!! 5000 Points in three hours?!"

"How is that even possible? How many monsters did he kill? Did he defeat a boss?!"

"I have been watching Persona for a few days now. He hadn't added that many points in a while and then suddenly he gets 5000 points out of nowhere… Something is suspicious."

"I smell 'cheating'..."

"Cheating?! My God Persona isn't a cheater! You are just jealous he is better than everyone else by a mile!"

"My big daddy Persona! I love you!!!"

"Wait, guys! We can't just jump to conclusions!"

"He is almost double the second place… It ain't even a competition anymore. Persona had made the game a joke!"

The conversations happening amongst the player base were as heated as ever. Many thought Persona was a cheater and their proof was the sudden, unexplainable jump in points that shouldn't be possible.

However, the people who rooted for Persona defended him tooth and nail. After all, all they had seen from this mysterious player was achievements and achievements. This was not the first time Persona had done something ridiculous.

But, the biggest effect this historical event had was on the biggest companies in the world. Those in power and those who have money and see Divinity Online as a huge pie they must take a slice of, they were frothing from the mouth.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Find him! I don't care how much money you need! Find me this player now!"

"We need to sign him up for our gaming organization! No matter what!"

"Persona… He will definitely show up sooner or later! Such a person cannot remain in the shadows forever."

All these CEOs and businessmen across the world had one simple goal… To find Persona and make him join their projects for the game. If they can make such a player the face of their project, the money and influence they will gain is simply incomprehensible.

The rest of the top players were all affiliated with some entity in some shape or form. Whether it is a family, a clan, a company, or a gaming organization. They had contracts worth millions and millions and resources to back them up like no tomorrow.

However, the sole strongest player was completely anonymous, with no real information about them.

And just like that, the name Persona spread far and wide and people started hearing more and more about this player.

As for Persona himself, completely oblivious to all of the chaos he had just created, was returning to the settlement… Tired and cold.

"Fuck this weather!"
