-Vanguards Stronghold's Inn-

We arrived at the inn to hear some rumors going on around the Vanguards Stronghold.

”Hello there! Vanguard's Savior,” We heard a familiar voice. It's Warden.

”Hello there, Warden. What are you doing here?” I asked him.

”Well, just drinking some booze. It's a good thing we get high in the game and it doesn't affect our real-life body. How about you guys?” It's a drunkard's dream.

”We came here to hear some rumors. We are clueless on what to do next,”

”Sir Warden, if you don't mind me asking, what are the Thirteen Gods about?” Elou asked him. That surprised me. Thirteen Gods?

”Oh, how long are you guys playing the game? You should have known about it by now. They're the top thirteen players in the game and most of them are guild Leaders. The only way to be on top thirteen is to challenge them one on one in a fair fight though it rarely happens. They were ranked by their guild's overall power and they're the representative of each guild. The competitions don't count because most of the thirteen Gods were not interested in joining the tournaments. Sieg is at number nine and Zeth is currently at number two. The number one person is the strongest but so far only the Gods know who's at number one,” Wow, I never thought that there's a ranking system on who are the strongest players in this world.

”Well, to be honest, we just started playing the game a week ago so basically, we are clueless most of the times,” Elou answered back. Nice job asking an important question Elou.

”Hahaha! That's a really funny joke. Even my grandma would really laugh at you. Haha,” He laughed really heard.

”Sir, but we are telling you the truth. We're at the Green Leaf village when goblins raided the village but they failed. Scy here died from the Boss and we're only beginners that time,” You don't have to explain that much Elou.

Warden stopped laughing and only looked at us with a serious face. I know what you're thinking. The right word is ”unbelievable”.

”That's unbelievable! How did you become so strong in just a short time?! Even Scythus here can be compared to one of the Gods with the power of his Soul Stone,” He was surprised by what he learned. And he also got the right word.

”Oh, Soul Stone. You mean this?” I showed him the two Soul stones I have, the black one and the yellow one.

”What the heck?! Not only one but two of them?! Do you know, what's the meaning of this?” He asked while awed and surprised. Are they that rare?

”Hmmm. That I have two shiny stones?” I know that they provide power. But I can only use one of them so I'm not really aware of how to use the other one.

”When you acquired a Soul stone which is defeating Bosses, you can consume a gemstone to absorb its power completely. If you don't consume it but only use it, it won't give you stats and just mastery skills. Also, it provides you better control of your soul stone spells and it doesn't tire you up after the power up expires,” He explained. Wow, that's some good news.
