2025-11-16 20:57:12Ren observed the mana flow within Rhys's body and although he did not let any emotion appear on his face, he was secretly impressed by Rhys's post awakening mana flow.
It was unregulated and flowing haphazardly through his body, however, the flow seemed smooth and his body seemed naturally attuned to circulating mana which was rare in new awakeners.
"So, guildmaster, did you find any clues regarding my sister?" Rhys asked, as he looked towards Ren with hopeful eyes, however, Ren only grit his teeth and remained silent.
"To be honest Rhys, we have no credible leads.
Our top investigator Bo suspects that it's the work of Olympus agents, but we're not sure.
I've been personally looking for any clues that could help us find her for the past 20 hours, but it's a complete ghost job.
We have no hot trails.
We have no information about her condition.
We have no information on what the enemy wants from her.
The guild information agents have been notified within the tower and are actively trying to dig up information regarding this hit, however, it will take time….." Ren said begrudgingly as Rhys felt his hope being crushed.
"I will not leave any leaf unturned in my commitment to find her and even if we have to enter into a war with another tower faction over her. I will not hesitate.
We here at the White Tiger guild have a motto we live by, It's one for all and all for one'
Since Violet is one of us, we will never let her be harmed." Ren said as he expressed his genuine desire to locate and save Violet at any cost necessary.
"I understand guildmaster….. thank you for all your efforts." Rhys said with a deflated voice as he understood just how much Ren was doing for Violet, however, he was sad that it bore no tangible results.
"In your sister's absence, I feel responsible towards your upbringing and I'm putting Emma in-charge of you.
If I understand correctly, you still have to finish your normal high school which lasts till this March and only then shall you be allowed to enter the tower as per the association laws.
Am I right?" Ren asked as Rhys nodded in response.
Although he had been selected as a Ascender, according to association laws, nobody was granted a Ascenders permit without having at least a high school degree and hence it was mandatory for Rhys to finish school which ended in March.
"It's just three months, finish school and get your license, depending on what field you're talented in, the guild will then help you select an appropriate university within the tower.
Although we can't replace your sister, think of this guild as your extended family while she's not around.
We will be here for you." Ren said as Rhys felt moved by his words.
How could a man of his stature, who was so strong, also be so calm, reasonable and compassionate?
Rhys did not understand why teen girls fawned all over Ren in his school before, however, he understood why they did now.
Ren was just so charismatic that anyone would have a crush on him and today Rhys became a fanboy as well.
"Thank you guildmaster, I really appreciate your support.
If I can in any way help out with the investigation or anything else in general, please let me know." Rhys said as Ren nodded his head in approval.
Ren was glad that Rhys did not make unreasonable demands such as being put on the investigation team himself or throw a tantrum at the lack of progress.
He fully expected a guy his age to behave immaturely, but Rhys handled it really well.
As Rhys left the guildmaster cabin, he saw Lloyd loitering right outside, as once he saw Rhys he signaled him to come closer.
"What did the guildmaster say? Was there any progress in the investigation?"Lloyd asked in a hushed voice as he put his arm around Rhys's shoulder, however, Rhys felt really awkward as to why Lloyd was asking him this question when he was a part of the investigation unit himself.
"Nothing much" Rhys replied as at that moment Emma walked into the hall prompting Lloyd to release him.
"Take care boy. If you need anything, always know that Uncle Lloyd is here for you-"he said loudly as he patted twice on Rhys's back before nodding towards Emma and walking away.
Emma squinted her eyes monitoring the exchange but said nothing.
"Miss Emma, guildmaster told me that you will be taking care of me, I have no clue what that's supposed to mean" Rhys said when he saw Emma as the secretory let out a deep sigh.
"Rhys, don't ever tell anyone what the guildmaster tells you okay? Especially nothing about the case of your sister.
Just consider this topic to be sensitive and not to be discussed in public.
Also yes, I've been given additional duty of being your caretaker and I must warn you I'm a very disciplined aunt.
You will be temporarily living with me until your school ends and I will not let you slack off.
Whether it's studies, nutrition, sleep or fitness, I will expect you to perform adequately, you understand?" Emma said as she sternly looked towards Rhys.
"I understand…." Rhys replied as although he had a thousand different questions, he did not voice them at the moment since he did not wish to be an annoyance.

Chapter 108
Kael quickly realized that he wasn’t standing in an ordinary basement at all. It felt more like he had stepped into a massive cave.Beyond the safe area was a seemingly bottomless stretch of darkness. The floor beneath his feet was jagged and uneven, while the walls were rough stone. Above them, countless stalactites hung from the ceiling like the sharp teeth of some enormous monster.Even the air felt different.It was fresh, but there was something unusual about it that Kael couldn’t quite put into words.“I forgot to introduce myself,” the man beside Kael said with a smile. “I’m Kaizen! Nice to meet ya!”“I’m Perrin,” Kael replied with a nod. “Likewise.”The two men shook hands.What started as a simple greeting quickly became a brief contest of strength. Kael noticed what Kaizen was doing and decided to participate. He applied enough strength for a low-level player, and Kaizen’s smile widened when he felt the pressure in Kael’s hand.Kaizen released him and walked toward a shelf b
Chapter 107
At last, Kael stood before The Miner Guild.The building itself was amusing enough to catch anyone’s attention. It still matched the general architecture of Last Night, but its roof was shaped like a giant half-round helmet and painted bright yellow. The huge circular lighting orb mounted in the center made the inspiration obvious.It was a miner’s helmet.The design even looked like one of the essential pieces of equipment a real miner would use. At night, that enormous light would probably outshine every street lantern nearby, which was likely why there were no streetlights directly in front of the building or across from it.The three-story structure was also unusually tall and narrow. From a distance, someone might mistake it for a giant cardboard miner standing upright in a red mining suit.‘It only lacks a smile for a good advertisement,’ Kael thought with a grin.Once he stepped through the entrance, he entered what looked like a world dominated by men. Everywhere he looked, ma

‘Cook up more, huh?’ Kael thought about his own words.He had said them in the heat of the moment, but they still reflected what he wanted to accomplish. He wanted to become a pioneer in Archery. His path was already different from everyone else’s because he was developing it without a deep foundation to follow.He was still learning the basics from Illara and Astrion, while his experiences with everyone around him continued to shape the way he approached Archery. Even his Legendary class had influenced his development.The truth was that Kael didn’t know exactly what he would do next.‘If I don’t become a pioneer, I’ll be the next Graven Hawk, right? She’s one of the strongest Perrins and remains high in the rankings, yet not many people seem interested in following her path.‘Archers still have a lot of difficulties,’ Kael continued thinking. ‘I mean, she doesn’t appear that often on forums or streams, so it’s hard for people to even see how she plays. If my goals change and I event

Kael shook his head.“Grinding is fun since I can see my efforts grow on the game panel and feel them in my muscles…” Kael explained. “But I am about to be destitute of resources. I also want to learn a jewelry craft, so I must pick up a miner subclass and finally step into the dungeon!”The thought immediately pushed his exhaustion aside.Kael rolled onto his back before pushing himself upright and looking at Illara. “Mining sounds fun!”“Are you a masochist?” Illara asked.From across the room, Astrion nodded. Somehow, he had heard that.“What do you mean, Master?” Kael tilted his head. “I’ll pick up a miner subclass and a title so I can get ores much easier without stressing too much! I also went ahead and researched various forums for the best spots for mining in the forest dungeon of The Warmonger Empire.”Kael didn’t particularly like spoiling the experience for himself. Normally, he would rather discover the best ores and mining locations naturally instead of relying on someone
Chapter 104
[You have completed your Artisan Quest #1: An Art Of Design(Epic).][You have acquired The Joker Mask(Epic)(A Part Of The Previous Monkey Boss Set).][You have received An Artisan Subclass(Epic), Tavian Timberland’s An Art Of Design Skill(Epic).][Your friendship with Tavian Timberland has increased.]Kael had completed the quest on his first attempt.Master Tavian had guided him through the process and provided him with several tools. His leather cutters and knives were incredibly sharp, making every step of the work much smoother than Kael had expected. Kael also had the advantage of everything he had already learned from Garrick and Astrion.Although the imperial Perrin had only spent a short time teaching him, Astrion’s instructions had always been straightforward. Kael was therefore already prepared for Tavian’s methods, especially since Astrion’s approach had clearly been influenced by the old artisan.Tavian, however, was several steps ahead of Astrion.He had years of experien
Chapter 103
“A monkey?” Tavian asked. “As if a monkey could learn anything.”It was certainly unusual for a low-level player to have a summon, but Kael’s companion only looked like an ordinary monkey. He was also adorable, which made it even harder to imagine that Rakuun possessed impressive abilities and far higher stats than his appearance suggested.Rakuun, however, was too good-natured to take Tavian’s words personally. He didn’t think any less of the old man because of the comment.Kael smiled, though there was a slight edge of disrespect in his voice. “Rakuun’s a smart monkey. He’s learned my survival skills and will learn artisan skills from me. We’ll one day craft something together.”Kael’s words clearly touched Rakuun. The little monkey nodded several times and held onto Kael’s arm more tightly. Hearing that Kael wanted to craft things together with him made him so happy that he probably would have agreed to anything Kael said at that moment.Tavian stroked his beard. “The same rules ap
