Chapter 413: Plans and News (2/2)

...…

When Shin went back to his room, he found himself pretty much bored. He just lied down on his bed, doing nothing. And since he just woke up earlier, he also couldn't bring himself to take another sleep.

During this time, he was most probably going to enter his Gaming Pod and dived inside the game. Unfortunately, the game already started its maintenance for another huge update.

From what Arthur had said, it was for the new regions and other system setups. There were also some interesting contents added in the game; and those were heavy focused for the leading players.

Players who were too advanced compared to the others were struggling to gain some levels in the latter stages of the game. And even if they had top-class items and equipment, leveling up by killing monsters became much harder for them.

Meanwhile, the Quests that they could do in that stage were quite limited and also pretty much impossible to be cleared even with someone like Arthur who was a Peak Godlike Player.

Thinking about all of this, Shin decided to take a look at the current news of the game. So, he suddenly got up from his lying position and sat on his bed before quickly opening his Advance Watch. And right after opening it, he immediately went to the official forum page of the game to see what happened when he was offline.

”What the!?” When Shin opened the page, his eyes were immediately greeted by some huge news. And in fact, there were only two news stories in total. But the changes that they would bring in the game were quite massive.

”So, this is the real reason why the major update was initiated ahead of time,” muttered Shin as he looked at the different posts on the forum. And after a slight browsing, he decided to read the current hottest topic first.

– Big News at the Blind Abyss Empire, Home turf of the Undying Guild.

Two Top Ranking Guilds were currently in war with each other.

--The Central Order officially declared an all-out war with the Undying Guild due to the discovered Ancient Ruins at the borders of the Empire.

Based on the rumors and some photos taken by independent players who managed to sneak inside the place, the said Ancient Ruins was closely related to an Ancient God of the game. This case was even proven by some top players who were focusing on studying the history of the game.

...

Shin continued to read the entire article with extreme concentration. It was not because he was interested in the ongoing war, but it was due to the place which became the cause of the war.

He currently had a high-ranking hidden quest related to Ancient Powers which was also related to the Ancient Gods. So, if he took a look at this place, maybe he was going to get some clues about his quest.

But Shin's body suddenly froze while he was reading the latter parts of the article. It was because he saw some photos which gave him some hints about something else.

Seeing that, he continued to browse the photos one by one, trying to confirm his suspicions. And a few moments later, he finally saw a photo that gave him the proof that he was looking for.

In that photo, there was a huge wall full of cracks. On its surface, a huge drawing of a Sun was engraved on it. And Shin was pretty much familiar with that symbol since he already saw it a couple of times in the walls of the 'Church of the Sun and the Moon'. That emblem symbolized one of the gods of that Church, a fallen god, and the father of the first envoy of the church – the Sun God.

Seeing that, Shin finally decided to take a 'visit' to this place no matter what when he got back in the game.

Meanwhile, the second news was also quite massive. The entire article was quite short, but the significance that it had for the game was much larger compared to the other one.

– Massive NEWS! The Sky Island finally appeared! And it was discovered by two players who also managed to get all of its pioneering rights.
