-=-=-=-=-=-

[The 12 Commandments are the following:]

[1. Once you enter the mid guard you will not be able to leave anymore]

[2. No extraterrestrials are allowed to enter the mid guard]

[3. Players will gain no support from the outside forces]

[4. Power rules everything, if you are bullied, then blame it on your weakness]

[5. No extraterrestrial forces are allowed to interfere with the matters of the mudguard]

[...]

[11. those who do not abide by the commandments will have their whole existence erased]

[12. Enjoy and show the universe what you got]

The commandments are very strict and also intimidating at the same time, but it all narrowed down into few things, which everyone understood, from young to old, Alter Online was played by all ages so it's not shocking to see an old man here or an 8-year-old kid.

Inside Midgard, you are on your own, help or communication from the outside is blocked or was really not just allowed, it was almost the same as saying cutting ties with the outer world, once caught by the primordial gods, punishment will be severe.

One more thing that made Mark show interest was the seventh commandment, "Death does not exist in this world" it sounds dominating and also confusing at the same time, 'What do they mean by no death? was it having an undying body? resurrection? there are too many things mysterious about this commandment.

Forces are only in the forms of 'Guilds' that were recognized by the primordial gods, the only way to become an official one is through the recognition of Gods in Alter Online, as for the Guild Token that Mark received from Merlin, it was kind of, rewards from the primordial gods.

And since Mark was in the top rankings, he received 3, 2nd place received 1, and third place and below received nothing, and on the second place was Chris, which made them a total of 4 Guild Tokens, they practically hugged everything.

Mark also didn't have to worry about anything since these rewards were given privately and no one else but Mark and the primordial Gods knows about it, well, that was all that Mark understood, as for the other things, they were very vague and Mark didn't really understand them so much.

[Now that all is done, we will now call upon the players who will pass by, everyone here other than the recognized guilds will now enter the Midgard, we all wish you a good game]

*Snap!

Alastor nodded at the players then snapped his fingers. A huge magic circle appeared in the skies that covered the whole ancient forest, it glowed in golden color, the players below started turning into golden light and their bodies slowly turned into light particles finally leaving but a few people on the place.

Everyone looked and sizing up to each other, Mark sat under the tree nearby with Chris beside him, he then looked at the remaining people, they are not official guilds but the recognized ones, though, from Mark's estimation, it won't take long for them to be an official one.

[I will call out the names of your guild]

[Alicia of the Red Flag Guild]

"Here" a woman that seemed to be in her early twenties raised her hand, she had red fiery hair and amber-colored eyes, she had this aura of a warrior, steady and sharp, Alicia, in the 13th rank of the Achievement ranking.

Her Guild has about 130 members in which they all prided to be fearless warriors, it was also an all-girls guild that despised men, Alicia was also a well-known one as she and her guild made a great achievement by fully conquering a biome making it their territory.

[Random of the Pandora Guild]

"I am here" A man with a bulky build spoke, he looks like he was in his late 40's as his face was already wrinkled, he had short brown hair and black colored eyes, he also seemed like a warrior like Alice but his aura was more of dominating and strength.

He was ranked 18th in the Achievement ranking with his guild having 180 members, they don't really have notable things about them but they have the biggest numbers of members in their guild.

[Luke of the Supreme Sword Guild]

"Here" a man with long white hair spoke, his chin was raised up high looking very arrogant, his long white robs fluttered along with the non-existent wind and he had a sharp sword on his back, he was Luke at the 8th in Achievement rankings and also a cultivator.

His Guild the Supreme Sword Guild has 60 members in which all were cultivators, they were very prideful and arrogant, they always bully other people near their base to extort materials, well, they could be considered a tyrant guild.

[Yasha of the Chamber of Commerce Guild]

[Cyberpunk of the Technopath Guild]

[Gluecose of the Alchemist Guild]

[...]

Alastor started calling out every guild and finally, he arrived at the final one, [Nyx of the Laughing Shadows Guild]

The moment everyone heard the name and the guild, they immediately turned their head to Chris who raised her hand, beside her was Mark who already fell asleep, it's not his fault, there were about 48 Guilds that were called out and Alastor was even having fun taking about 2 minutes to call out the next one.

Chris's popularity in-game also can't be helped, she was the recognized top 2, something that the other players tried to reach and someone they have to surpass. Thankfully Chris has been used to these kinds of stares and just acted calmly.

[And also lastly, the top 1 of the achievement ranking, the top 1 of the who of the whole Alter Online is also here, Nevermore]

Alastor said in a grand tone seemingly welcoming the champion of the gods, but after waiting for a few moments he did not receive a reply, he can only sigh, he then took a deep breath and yelled [Wake up!]
