The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 101

Cairo, Egypt . Myth Guild Headquarters…

"What? Who called?" asked Shin, dumbfounded .

"Toh, from Macau, ma'am . "

"Why would he call?"

"He didn't go into detail, but he did say he wanted us to mediate . "

"Mediate? Is he talking about Lee Jiwon?"

"I would assume so, ma'am," Ebonene replied . "I would advise you to accept the call . They've been pretty hush-hush about what's been going on, but enough rumors have been circulating . We might as well hear him out . "

"Very well . Put him through . " Soon, Toh's face came on the large monitor .

"Hello . I've only ever heard rumors about you, and it is an honor to finally meet you . My name is Toh and this is my partner, Wanhu . We are the co-masters of the San Tuan Guild . "

"It's nice to meet you, too . My name is Shin and this is my vice-master, Ebonene . May I ask your reason for calling us?" The Myth Guild never really had anything to do with the San Tuan Guild before . . . that is, until Lee Jiwon came around . It would make sense that the San Tuan Guild knew about the relationship between the Myth Guild and Lee Jiwon .

"Of course . I'll get straight to the point . We, the San Tuan Guild, have gotten off the wrong foot with Lee Jiwon . "

"The wrong foot?"

"Yes . This battle seems to have been started over a small misunderstanding . Don't you think it's a waste of lives to continue this battle? We all stand to lose everything the longer this battle goes on . "

"A small misunderstanding…" Shin, Ebonene and the Myth Guild's officers had already heard from Lee Jiwon about how this battle really started . And yet, Toh was standing there, shamelessly lying to them . Shin almost laughed when Toh said that both sides were the victims . A three year-old could see who the real victim was here . "Why are you telling us this? Can't you just tell Lee Jiwon yourselves?"

"Yes, we can . However, we wish to meet with him secretly . "

"Secretly?"

"Yes . It's embarrassing to say, but we lost the battle . We completely surrender to Lee Jiwon's guerilla warfare . "

Shin locked eyes with her officers, who could think of nothing to say and just looked back at here, eyes wide open . He actually did it!

"However, we cannot afford to lose face over this . We can't publicly announce our loss . I'm sure a large guild such as you understand what I mean . "

"That's… true . "

"That is why we would like to announce a ceasefire instead . We would like to announce to the rest of the world that this battle was started over a misunderstanding and that both sides have agreed to a ceasefire to prevent more loss . Of course, we will provide Lee Jiwon a Rank 8 item called Lush Greenery of the Great Forest if he accepts our surrender under those conditions . "

" . . . " Shin was shocked once more . Yes, Lee Jiwon was the clear winner here, and wasn't a victim like Toh was saying, but as a fellow guild master, Shin understood why Toh would say that . Protecting the guild's reputation was more important than physical goods .

"We currently don't have another way to contact Lee Jiwon . If we try to seek him out or try to compromise with him openly, then we risk being discovered by something else . That is why we come to you, so that you can contact him for us instead .

"We ask you to at least contact Lee Jiwon for now . It's not good for either of us to keep this battle up any longer," Wanhu said .

"Okay, I understand . I'll pass on the message to Lee Jiwon . "

"We'll send over a Comm Link that is connected to us . If he agrees, then please give him the Comm Link so that he can contact us directly . "

"I will . "

After a few more words, the call came to an end .

"All that boasting actually came true . " Shin recalled what Lee Jiwon had told her a month ago, that he was so confident in his abilities that he could deal with it on his own . She was still shocked .

"He's even going to receive a Rank 8 item for his troubles," muttered Ebonene .

"A Rank 8 item in a month… he really knows how to make the best out of everything . " Shin found another reason to be amazed at this man's ability .

---

"Will this work?" The pitiful expression Wanhu had during the video call was gone and was replaced by a cold one .

"It's our best option . If this doesn't work, we have no choice but to give up on Lee Jiwon completely . If we keep this up, we stand to lose everything . Qing . "

"Yes sir . "

"If Lee Jiwon sets foot here, will the trap work?"

"Yes, sir! I designed the trap to hold at least three hundred people at once . "

"Good . Wang Choong . "

"Yes sir . "

"How many have learned Bind now?"

"Two hundred fifty of our members know the skill now, sir . "

"Good . " Toh nodded . He looked around at the members gathered in the room before speaking . "This plan requires us to use the Myth Guild . If we succeed in capturing Lee Jiwon, we will be able to withstand the Myth Guild's attacks in the future . However, if we fail, we will have both Lee Jiwon and the Myth Guild to deal with . In other words, we cannot afford to fail!"

"Yes, sir!"

"But there's a weakness to this plan . The Flytrap can only hold up to three hundred people . If Lee Jiwon shows up with more, then it's over . We can't make a bigger one," Wanhu said in a quiet voice .

"I know, but we need the Flytrap in order to capture a strong Unrivaled deva like Lee Jiwon . " Toh turned back to the gathered members . "The outcome of this plan depends on whether or not we can capture Lee Jiwon with the Flytrap . If he really does come to the prearranged location with more than three hundred reinforcements, then it's our loss . We will have to do what we promised the Myth Guild . But if he comes with less than three hundred, then we must spring the Flytrap, no matter what! We can deal with the Myth Guild after . "

"Sir, Lee Jiwon has been moving on his own all this time . Chances are low that he would come with a group of more than three hundred . "

The San Tuan Guild had spent an unbelievable amount of golden rings building the Flytrap . If it didn't work, the San Tuan Guild would cease to exist from the loss of profits alone .

"Good . We've done everything we can now . We just need to wait for him to contact us now . Be ready to move out at anytime . "

I was resting at an abandoned building on the outskirts of Macau when I received a message .

[You have received a call from the Myth Guild . Pick up?]

"The Myth Guild?" I had called them occasionally with reports and picked up every time they called, but I had just talked to them yesterday . Something was up . I quickly picked up .

"This is Jiwon . "

"Hello, Mr . Lee . It's Shin . "

"Yes, hello . We just talked yesterday; is something the matter?"

"Well, the thing is…the San Tuan Guild contacted us . "

"Excuse me?" I asked in confusion . "The San Tuan Guild?"

"Yes . "

"Why?"

"They want to…" Shin and Naika explained everything about the call they received .

"A Rank 8 item?" That part stuck out the most .

"Yes . They agreed to hand over a Rank 8 item if you accepted their surrender under those terms . Are you okay with that?"

"Yeah, I am! I'm more than okay with that," I replied instantly . I just had to say that it was a fair fight . I had nothing to lose .

-If they're that willing, I might as well . It's not like I need to show everyone my skills right now . I can do that later . -

I still couldn't fully believe that I could have a Rank 8 item by just saying a few words . The Rank 8 item probably was more worth than what the San Tuan Guild had lost until now .

-This isn't a trap, is it?-

Toh and Wanhu were known to others for having an exceptional sense for business and as the charismatic rulers of Macau, but I knew who they really were . I knew how scummy they really were .

"We believe that it wouldn't hurt to accept their offer . "

"Even though they're this willing to give up a Rank 8 item for a few words?"

"Sometimes a guild's name is worth much more than that . "

I suddenly recalled who gave me the Bracelet of Eternal Fire; Shin and the Myth Guild gave it to me . To the Myth Guild, giving up the Bracelet just to defeat the Blood Prince was obvious . Toh and Wanhu were probably in a similar situation .

"I understand . I'll head over to the Myth Guild as soon as possible . " I was tired of doing this for a month now, as well . I couldn't even invest in myself the whole time, either . Whether or not Toh and Wanhu had an ulterior motive, there was a Rank 8 item on the line .

I took out a Warp Scroll and ripped it .

---

I went up to the Myth Guild's command room . I quickly greeted Shin and the other officers and contacted the San Tuan Guild using the Comm Link they sent .

"This is the San Tuan Guild . Who's calling?"

"This is Lee Jiwon . "

"Wha…! One…one moment, please!" The person on the other line sounded surprised .

Ten minutes later, someone else picked up . "Is this Lee Jiwon?"

"Yeah, it is . It's been awhile, Toh . "

"Hmph, indeed it has, Lee Jiwon . "

"I heard from the Myth Guild . Is that what you really want?"

"That's right . We surrender to you . Your abilities are more than we can handle . However, we can't just give up . Our names have too much weight . "

"Is that why you want me to say that the battle was tough on both of us?"

"It is . We'll even hand over a Rank 8 item for your troubles . That's a proper reward for the victor, don't you think?"

"Hmm…" The offer sounded more attractive hearing it in person .

"As you know, this offer must remain a secret . "

"But the Myth Guild already knows . "

"There was no way around it . We couldn't exactly reach out to you on our own . There are too many eyes watching us . Besides, I trust the Myth Guild to be honorable on your behalf . "

"Well…"

"Anyway, that's our situation . Let's end this now . I just wish we don't continue as enemies if we can't continue as comrades . "

For some reason, I began to think the same . It seemed to be a dumb idea to reject him .

"Fine . Where do we go from here?"

"We have arranged a place in Macau where many people will watch . It should be the perfect place where we can smile and shake hands for everyone to see . "

"Is that it?"

"That's it . We want to get this battle over with as soon as possible . We want to return Macau to its former glory . I can't say that we don't want to exact revenge on you, but we do know that's impossible . "

"Fine . I accept your offer . "

We continued to talk for another half hour . We decided to meet in one week at Macau Tower, the prearranged place .

"It seems all your work this past month hasn't been for nothing . "

"Mmm…it's not what I expected, but it would seem so," I said to Ebonene, smiling .

"But, are you thinking of going on your own again?"

"Excuse me?"

"I mean to Macau Tower next week . "

"Yes, that's what I'm thinking . "

"I would advise you go with the Myth Guild this time . "

"It'll be…" I then remembered that I was dealing with some real scummy people . I hadn't been wary of Toh during the entire thirty minutes we spent talking . The Rank 8 item distracted me too much .

-Ha…to think I believed him when I should have remained suspicious of him…-

"I would be forever thankful if you would . "

"Very well . Then I would say…three hundred members should go . " Ebonene said to Shin .

"Make it so . "

---

With Shin's permission, three hundred elite members were prepared to leave for Macau with Lee Jiwon in one week . However, one of them would end up having to stay behind as the member was 0 . 1% away from leveling up . Two hundred ninety-nine would leave with Lee Jiwon instead .
