Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Ibro then took out many small defensive buildings he had bought from the market. Although these buildings had the lowest degree out there in the market but their numbers were big.

Ibro knew that the future battle in the village upgrade would be very dangerous. He even felt it would be more dangerous than the other battles he would face underground and on the surface with monsters. He then looked at Mamor and ordered:

"Mamor you will listen to my orders. You will formulate a war plan immediately based on the scout reports we will get about the underground monsters and surface monsters.

I want you to lead the surface monsters army and I will lead the underground army. I have a good experience in dealing with underground battles.

I put under you the full use of all the rss I have acquired from the market. I want you to put your plan on the basis of a war on all fronts."

"What do you mean my lord?"

"As we will hit the underground monsters in all directions, I want you to attack all the surrounding surface strongholds at the same time."

Mamor looked towards Hoden who expressed his worries:

"I believe such an approach will cause more damage than benefit us, my lord."

"I know, but I have my own reasons. Our target is to conquer 10 surface strongholds and 6 underground zones. Until we achieve our goal, our armies should never stop their attacks on all fronts.

When we achieve this goal then you can issue a withdrawal order or modify the battle as you may seem appropriate. Don't issue any modification to any battlefield until we achieve our goal."

Hoden and Mamor felt the strangeness in their lord's words. There was something wrong with him since he took this crystal ball. They thought of a possibility that this ball might have affected his thinking and personality.

They chatted among themselves about this hypothesis before, but Mamore neglected it. He had sensed the power of this ball and he knew that it didn't affect his personality at all.

They felt that this young lord had some hidden info about enemy plans. One person emerged immediately in their brains. That person was a perfect answer to all their questions and doubts.

They believed that Sefiera was the one who told Ibro about his enemy plans. Ibro didn't know about what his two highest personnel were thinking or he might laugh. Ibro felt that he needed to eat and rest.

He didn't rest for a long time now. Mony took responsibility for bringing food to the four of them. After they ate the delicious food and enjoyed the various dishes, Ibro then moved to his bed chamber and slept there while Hoden, Mamor, and Mony were working hard to execute his orders.

"Attention: One week has already passed in the game. The test period for lord mode players has ended. Now the game will announce the ranking lists for each category in the forum. The top ten lords will get additional rewards that will be delivered personally."

Ibro woke up immediately from his deep sleep by this sudden loud sound that echoed in his ears. He looked at that announcement that was written on the air in front of him. His brain was still lazy when he heard another sequence of announcements in his ears:

"Congratulations to you player Ibro. You ranked third in the highest score list. You gained the reward of third place in score as an achievement. You can view the whole list in the forum."

"Congratulations to you player Ibro. You ranked fifth in the highest grade village list. You gained the reward of a free draw of one specialty to your village. You can view the whole list in the forum."

"Congratulations to you player Ibro. You ranked tenth in the fastest player to end the test list. You gained the reward of free draw of a growth type weapon. You can view the whole list in the forum."

"Congratulations to you player Ibro. You ranked second in the total evaluation list. You gained the reward of upgrading a certain building by three grades. You can view the whole list in the forum."

"World Announcement: There are 100 lords who gained the right to compete for the sky-high world position. These players list has been generated and is posted on the forum.

Any lord player or guild who managed to destroy one of those villages will gain the right to compete for sky-high position. The trial period lasts for 10 years."

Ibro got his focus on the last announcement. He remembered the game warning to him when he started the game. It seemed that the positions for this competition are limited. 10 years was a short time to prepare and a long time to live in danger.

According to this announcement, every player is a threat to Ibro. He also noticed that there are two types of layers that posed a threat to himself. One was the other lords and the other was these guilds.

He was immersed in the village troubles that he forgot about the facts in a game. There are other players who played as adventurers and others who play in guilds.

He didn't know any info about this game environment regarding other players. He needed to gain more info urgently. He first opened the forums. There were sticky posts in the front of the forum.

He noticed the forum carried the number of this world. The forum name was 78532145. Ibro tried to open other forums with lower numbers than this but he failed.

He got a message that denied his access to these forums as he didn't get enough privilege to do so. He was curious about the status of this forum and other forums.

When he strolled in this forum he discovered it was divided into 100 smaller forums. Each forum carried a different name to it. He tried to enter some of these forums but he didn't find anything useful.

All he got was that these mini-forums were like forums for different areas in this world. This world had 100 different areas. He recalled the number of high sky participants.

It seemed that each area would be presented by a single lord or guild. 100 areas compete for a single sky-high position. Would the winner grant the access for all his area players to this supreme world?

He didn't think so. If so, then the competition inside every area had no logic at all. He understood better the importance of the chance he got. He also noted the most simple and important fact; everyone was his enemy here.

He needed to get stronger. He needed to move further than anyone. He felt the tense competitive nature of this game. This game had no place for weaklings at all.

He opened the post regarding the 100 nominee players for sky-high competition. To his surprise he was ranked number one in this list. Besides his name, there was the name of his area: Holine area.

He read through all the other names at random and confirmed his previous guess. Each one in this list came from a single unique area. Ibro then exited the forums and decided he would check this forum in concentration after the next war.

He knew he had no time to waste. His food storage wouldn't last for many days. When he would use this huge number of soldiers then he would have 1 day only.

In one day he had to win this war, upgrade the village and then win the challenge test. He really had no time to waste. Just as he was exiting his chamber, Sefiera appeared in front of him.

"You look in a hurry. Are you going to start your war now?"

Ibro looked at her and remembered his other self advice. He smiled and answered:

"Yes. I have no time to waste."

"I know how tight your schedule is. I only wanted to tell you that I got something that will help you greatly in this war."

Ibro stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise:

"Really? What is it? Tell me."

"It's a certain type of scroll. I managed to convince one of my oldest friends to put it in the sale in the market for you to get. He put it under your name so no one can view it except you. Hurry up and get it. It will help you a lot in the coming days."

Ibro didn't know what this scroll was but he said nonetheless with deep gratitude:

"Thank you for your help Sefiera."

"Don't mention it. Now go and get it."

Ibro then moved outwards. He noticed the deep discussion between Hoden, Mamor, and Mony in the meeting rooms. Ibro went to the market in rapid steps.

He noticed that the pyramid he ordered to be built was taking shape beside his manor. It would be a big pyramid that reached 5 floors high at least.

Once he entered the market he opened the interface. He was greeted by a message in front of him:

"Player Kreedol from world 152 has sent you a trade request. Will you agree to his request?"
