"I-I understand general, it's just that we're lacking personnel. I've sent in large numbers of officials, however, they're power levels seem inadequate,"
"What about that kid that you told me about? Why haven't you brought him over to the military yet?"
"Preparations have been put in place General,"
"Agent Ria, if the Church or any of the other Guilds contact him before we are able to bring him over to our side, then you will take full responsibility for this loss. The Church has already cleared the second floor of their tower, we need to hurry."
"U-understood General,"
"I hope so. I will contact you again in a week, I want to see results by then,"
"Yes Gene-" before Agent Ria could finish her sentence the General cut the call.
"Captain, what are we going to do?" asked the aide.
"Bring the kid over to our side of course," said Agent Ria as she walked out of the tent she was in and out into the front of the tower.
Large numbers of people were still crowded outside waiting to get in, they seemed even more eager than before. This was because of the recently opened item shop.
"Open item shop," said Aran as he stood a distance away from the crowd with the rest of his group behind him.
"Why aren't we challenging the next floor?" asked Clara.
"That's because it's impossible with our current powers, or at least not alone that is," replied Aran as he looked through the item shop.
His group seemed to have gained four new members, totaling eight.
"Are you looking for.. him?" asked another girl from his group.
"Come on, don't tell me you guys actually believe that bullshit. Either someone exaggerated how big that flesh golem was, or that kid didn't actually kill it himself," replied a blonde-haired guy in Aran's group.
"I agree, it's rather unlikely that someone that powerful exists yet," said another guy in the group, this one had glasses and a rather calculative look on his face.
"Well, what you believe doesn't matter anyway. We need to get him into our group before someone else does. The group with the most Arcanian points basically hold the most power," replied Aran, a wide grin on his face as he picked out an item from the item shop.
"Are you talking about the elixirs from the item shop?" asked Clara as Aran drank a yellow elixir.
"Not just that. If the level one item shop contains such items, then imagine what items the level 500 item shop has,"
[Item shop Level 1/500]
[Minor stamina enhancing elixir. (1000 Arcanian points)]
[Minor strength enhancing elixir. (1000 Arcanian points)]
[Minor agility enhancing elixir. (1000 Arcanian points)]
[Minor ability enhancing elixir. (1000 Arcanian points)]
[Bane of the undead elixir. (1000 Arcanian points)]
[Minor healing elixir. (1000 Arcanian points)]
"But the items are rather expensive," complained a green-haired girl from Aran's group.
"Yeah, even with the 2000 Arcanian points we got from the first floor of the tower, we can only afford two items," complained Clara.
"Then we just have to get more, I got intel that several ruins have opened nearby," replied Aran.
"Intel from where?" asked the blonde-haired guy.
"They call themself the information guild. I guess people have already started creating large groups to conquer the ruins, dungeons, and tower floors,"
"Guilds? Then should we start one as well?" asked Clara, impressed that people had already established new factions.
"Pfft, forget about it, we aren't enough. Anyways I heard the competition is harsh, the Church seems to be preventing the rise of new Guilds. And there's also the issue of the so-called otherworlders."
"Otherworlders?" asked Clara with a confused expression.
"Beings who aren't humans. Some people say they spotted elf-like beings entering one of the ruins on the outskirts of town,"
"Don't tell me you buy that," asked Clara.
"If there are goblins, what's stopping elves from existing. Anyway, I heard that you can get Arcanian points from ruins as well, although to a smaller extent then tower floors,"
"Then if that's the case why are we still standing here?"
"Don't be fooled, just because ruins are easier than the tower, that doesn't mean we can take them lightly. I was hoping that he would show up and we could take on the ruins together, anyway it seems he didn't show up today. We might as well just head out," said Aran before he and his group left.
"So it seems that he's become rather famous. I wonder if it really is the guy from earlier," smiled a girl dressed in white robes, after eavesdropping on Aran's group.
"Father it seems he hasn't shown up today, should I continue waiting?" asked the girl over an amulet on her hand.
"It's okay, just get back. The attack force is going to take on the 'Forbidden Ruin', and your presence is required,"
"Aww, but father I wanted to play with him a little. I heard that he was rather strong," said the girl, with a lewd expression on her face, and glowing yellow eyes.
"That's rather unbefitting language for a sister, sister Eleanor." replied the voice over the amulet.
"Sigh, your no fun, whatever I'm coming. We're going to meet soon anyways, there's no way that the other Guilds won't try contacting the first tower clearer. One way or another I'll have my fun," said the sister before running off.

"The preparations have been completed Captain Duarte,"
"Very well. Call the main attack force, The Daybreak Guild is about to be the first to complete an E difficulty ruin."
