Soul Fusion Online Chapter 160

"Yuki, the update notes are here, and our guild's name is in it!" Trisha yelled out. She had looked at the Soul Fusion Online website to see if there was any news going on. Right on the front page was a video going over the new update that was to be released as soon as servers were brought back online.

"Quickly put it on the bigger screen so we can all watch it." Yuki could see everyone else wanted to know what said about Serenity, herself included!

"Okay, hold on a second!" Trisha smiled and hurried to hook her phone up to the T.V.

"Thank you all for tuning in! Today Soul Fusion Online is proud to announce a new update thanks to the guild Serenity for activating it by defeating the guild Golden Sword a world renowned guild that comes from many other games in the first ever Soul Fusion Online guild vs. guild war. Here are some videos of what happened." The announcer showed clips of the war that was captured on the server, even the part where Margie spanked Gene for all to see. And where Ryu wiped out fifty people all at once with little effort.

"Haha! This is rich! Golden Sword has dominated so many games, and now they are being turned into a laughing stock!" GreenHat burst out laughing.

"Their fault for picking a fight with us. He should have just given up when Ryu warned him. Now he won't be able to show his face anywhere." Rose said with a snort. She was still upset she didn't get to do anything at all during the war.

"As you can see from the video, Golden Sword had picked off more than they could chew. Anyway, with this victory and for being the first guild to win a guild vs. guild war, Serenity will receive a special reward. It is a token to take over any village or town that is within the lower level area and keep it as their own. The reward will be automatically placed in Serenity's guild leader Ryu's inventory as a soul bound item.

"Yes, you heard right, it is a soul bound item meaning no one can kill him to loot it, not that anyone could kill him… Ahem… Now then, let's get down to the actual update, shall we? First and foremost outside guild housing, you can now take over cities, towns, and villages. These cities, towns, and villages owned by guilds will be fully under their control to build up or tax as they please besides Serenity, who has a free pass to use to take over any place they wish with little to no effort. Other guilds will need to go to war to do so. This means…. War… Yes, war. This update is all about war. But not just against players. There will be war against monsters and NPCs as well. Villages and towns will not just give up their lands easily. If you wish to take over certain places, you will need to be willing to battle.

"But remember one thing. NPC's do not respawn. It may seem crazy, but you must think of Soul Fusion Online as a real world. Besides you players who can respawn. Once an NPC dies, they die forever. This goes for old and young, male or female. No one is discriminated against when it comes to death. They will also not take kindly to you, killing their families and friends, and some may seek revenge. Remember one thing. The mercenary guilds can be used by more than just players.

"Once you take over a city, whether it be by force or not. You must protect it well. Other players can also take it over by grabbing the city, village, or town core. There is also one more thing you will also need to be wary of as well, and that is monster raids. Hordes of monsters can wipe out an entire village in a matter of seconds, an entire town in a matter of minutes, and a city in a matter of hours. This can not only destroy the city but kill every citizen.

"A new ranking system has been set up within game. The house of records is a new organization formed by Soul Fusion Online staff who will be monitoring all guilds and players, creating a ranking chart of the top one hundred. As of now, I will tell you that Serenity is dominating the charts. Haha! I probably just made a million enemies for Serenity at this time.

Joking aside, this system will be kept strictly based on the data from investigations on each player and guild. I wish you luck in rising through the ranks.

"Lastly, in this update, a few new systems will be activated. The first one was something that was requested by many companies who are expanding into this new world, and that is contracts for many different things, including alliances. Since they are magically binding, breaking them will result in actions being taken against the one who broke the contract.

"Second is a new kind of punishment system for players who do bad things. After speaking with the royal family and getting the okay, a new slave system will be implemented in game for those who break moral laws. We wanted to implement this system earlier, but we did not get the okay until just recently. Each incident reported to the new SFO Police Task Force will be thoroughly investigated. Each member of this task force has had proper training by the world police special units. And have been given GM powers.

"And lastly, there are a few extras I did not speak about that you can discover yourselves. Remember everyone Soul Fusion Online is not just a game but another live breathing world." The video turned black, and Trisha turned off the tv. He had a strange expression on her face afterward. "Is it just me, or did he keep trying to emphasize the whole real life, breathing world thing?"

"It's the same thing I have been saying since the beginning. The NPCs don't act like normal game A.I. I mean, look at Mary. She does her own thing, although programmed to be my guard, she still has her own unique personality that is truly hers. She talks and acts like a normal human. Can she really still be considered a robot when she can love and hate just like the rest of us?"
