No one on the Ravi Guild's side of the river moved a muscle . They all stood there as the heavy rain washed down over them . Soon, someone finally broke the silence in a booming voice .
"I, Lagus Aman, make my vow here! I will not rest until the caste system of the new world is ended! I don't care if no one follows me, but I vow to destroy the caste system and create a place worth living for people!"
Lagus had been waiting for his father to step up and say something similar, but when Sandip didn't, Lagus made his decision . He would no longer sit back on the sidelines and take charge on his own .
"I…I will follow Master Lagus!"
"I'm with you!"
Many had been waiting for Lagus to step up . Those that knew him the longest knew about his strength and his personality . That was the start . . . except this time, it started in India
---
"Mr . Lee," Lagus turned to me .
We decided to keep what had happened as a secret between us for now . One way or another, people would find out later on, anyway . There was no way to keep our newfound abilities hidden from the public for long .
"Thank you for everything . We wouldn't have made it here if it wasn't for you . "
"I only did what I had to . "
"I will repay you…"
"Please, you don't have to . In the end, we failed, anyway . " That wasn't right, probably . Everything that had happened the past few days went just as Muskan had planned . "We already got enough out of this, anyway . "
"Thank you . I, Lagus Aman, swear to run to your side in your time of need . " Just earlier today, Lagus's eyes were always shining, but now, they were filled with a deadliness and an unforgiving light .
"I'm also glad that we got to meet this way . It was an honor to fight at your side . " We shook hands, saying to each other that it wasn't a final goodbye . We would see each other again, one day .
As Lagus turned around and left, he didn't ask for more of my help . If I did, then he could reach his goal faster, but neither of us was willing .
-Am I finally done here in India?-
These were by far the toughest few days of my life .
"What'll you do now, Mr . Lee?"
"This battle is not about to end any time soon . "
Han Kyungchul and Ebonene walked up to me .
"It's time to go . Let's go…" I was about to say that I wanted to go home now, but I stopped myself . I didn't really have a home to back to . All I had in my name was that rooftop room that was probably destroyed now . All I had in Seoul was the hotel I stayed at every now and then . I didn't have home to go to in Korea .
"Ahem . We should go back now . " It didn't matter too much, anyway . I didn't need an actual home to go back to right now . I was busy and would be kept busy for the years to come .
"Where will you go, Mr . Lee?" Han Kyungchul asked .
"I'm…thinking of going back to Egypt . " I turned to Ebonene before continuing, "I still do want to go to Alexandria . " The high-grade dungeon there was my original destination after the hidden dungeon in India .
"You are always more than welcome . We still have your room prepared over at the Myth Guild's headquarters . Your personal chef is still there, as well . He's always asking when you'll return," Ebonene said, chuckling .
"Thank you . "
I turned around to thank Han Kyungchul and the Sunbin Guild's soldiers for their help, and that I would pay them back for their kindness today . I followed the Myth Guild out of the battlefield .
------
Han Kyungchul watched as Lee Jiwon and the Myth Guild leave . "Home…" Han Kyungchul didn't like that Lee Jiwon chose the Myth Guild over the Sunbin Guild .
It wasn't that he didn't like Lee Jiwon for making that decision; it was that he didn't like that Lee Jiwon didn't have a home to return to in Korea . Lee Jiwon's home should be in Seoul .
Han Kyungchul had come to India knowing that Lee Jiwon was powerful . Han Kyungchul had watched videos of Lee Jiwon's boss battles countless times and seen for himself today the extent of the man's strength . What Han Kyungchul saw today was almost unbelievable . At first, he thought that Lee Jiwon was using skills, but he quickly realized that Lee Jiwon was only using normal attacks . Lee Jiwon could easily fell a tank in only four or five hits . Nothing could stand in that man's way .
And to let him go?
"It's stupid . It's the worst thing that could happen . " Lee Jiwon was a Korean from the start . It didn't make sense to let him go .
"We might not be able to do anything about it now, but we can't let him go again in the future . We have to make it so that he'll choose the Sunbin Guild over the Myth Guild! A home… we need to give him a home first . We need to give him a home he can come back to anytime, and it has to be in Seoul . The closer the better!"
------
The Myth Guild's headquarters in Old Cairo, Egypt . . .
"It's good to see you again, Mr . Lee!"
"It's good to see you, too," I greeted Shin . The Myth Guild was still the same . It was nice to have a place to come back to .
"Master! I heard about what you did in India . I see you've made the whole world your playground!" It was even better to see Sunghoon again .
"Hehe . It's the least a man should do, ain't it?" I joked . I turned back to Shin and continued, "You've all really helped me out a lot this time . Thank you . " Both guilds were a big help today . I didn't even ask for their help, and yet they were more than willing to step in . It was thanks to them that I could obtain Absolute Destruction .
"It was nothing . We're friends . We can't just sit idly by when a friend needs help . Isn't it the same with you, Mr . Lee?"
"Haha . I suppose so . " It made sense . Even if their reasons were solely political, it was still wise to help to maintain our relationship . We had to help each other out now and then if we wanted to remain allies until the end .
"Anyway, I came back because I wanted to get to Alexandria's dungeon now . "
"Of course . I said it before; all of Egypt's dungeons are open to you . But, I have to say, tackling a high-grade dungeon on your own is…"
"I know . I wanted to at least see what I would go up against . " Obviously, I had never been to a high-grade dungeon before in my past life . I couldn't afford the fee, nor was I strong enough . But now, it could be different . My body ached in anticipation . I stayed as humble as possible, but I was actually pumping with confidence .
"You truly are amazing . But I'm sure you have time for dinner and to talk before you go, right?"
"Of course I do . "
Together, we left to enjoy ourselves at dinner, Sunghoon included . I also decided to rest for the next couple of days . Everything that happened in India really took a toll on me .
------
A few days later, I was on Alexandria's Pharos Island . I was standing in front of the Qaitbay Citadel that stands where the Pharos Lighthouse once stood . The dungeon here was known as Pharos' Dungeon .
"If only Korea had its own high-grade dungeon . " Any large guild needed at least one high-grade dungeon in its possession . It's actually quite impressive that, in the past, the Sunbin Guild actually managed to get that large without its own high-grade dungeon . "Let's see what it's got!" I took a step forward to enter the dungeon .
"Mr . Lee, hold on a moment!" I heard someone call out for me from behind . I turned around, and saw members of the Myth Guild running towards me .
"That's a relief . We decided to come here first before calling you on your Comm Link!"
"What's going on?"
"About five minutes ago, a quest dropped at the Stores, and we wanted to show you . Have a look at this!"
I took the paper the guild member handed me .
==[Time Attack (No Rank)
'Set the best record!' Set a higher record than anyone else and receive an astounding reward .
Two types of dungeons will be revealed:
1-person dungeon: enter alone and get to the top dungeon .
16-person dungeon: enter with a guild or party of 16 people and get to the top 50 .
Rules:
You can enter two dungeons a day, regardless of dungeon type .
Even if you give up on one dungeon, that dungeon counts as one for the day .
Your record will be evaluated compared to the current highest record .
Time Attack starts now and ends in 30 days . That's 60 dungeons a day .
The reward will be based on the highest record . The reward could either be: A Rank 8 random chest, a skill random chest, golden rings random chest, a skill point random chest or a stat point random chest . ]==
I couldn't believe what I just read . I remembered it happening in the past . I clearly remembered hearing about it, but I didn't give it too much thought . It took place in a country too far away for me . There was also no way for me to ever reach the top ranks .
"People are going crazy over this right now . "
"They have every right to…"
Those 16-man dungeons were going to be the most sought after, especially by guilds wanting to get to the top ranks . It was the best way to show off their skills . There was a chance a large guild could fail to get to the top 50 and a smaller guild could rank even higher than any other guild .
This was the perfect chance for me, especially since my new ability could really turn the tides . I swallowed as I thought about what was in store for me .
