Seeing the sky after coming out from the abyss was a really refreshing feeling. Although it was currently nighttime, the sky was still much more beautiful and intriguing than the abyss.

The dark yet starry sky looked like an ocean filled with twinkles, the endless universe stretching to the horizon of what I could see and far beyond that.

"How did they even create such a perfect world? I still can\'t get used to the fact that this masterpiece was made by humans."

For a second, I felt like I had jinxed myself. As if I had raised a red flag for myself that I would come to dislike. I shook the feeling off and went towards the duke\'s castle.

"Shura! It\'s been a while. Why are you here so late at night? Where is Ena?"

Harold, who was sleeping peacefully in his room, woke up due to my visit.

"Yes, your grace. I was just passing by and decided to pay a visit."

After that, I told the whole story to Harold, whose emotions kept fluctuating throughout the way.

"So, Ena has decided to stay in the abyss for longer? This girl and her curiosity…."

Harold sighed helplessly as if he was already used to her behaviour.

"I think the abyss will soon open for everyone, although it\'s still a fairly dangerous place and the residents won\'t take the arrival of other races well."

"Why do you think so? What\'s so special about the abyss?"

Harold asked curiously. Obviously, even if it was a sealed location, no one would bother with it if it didn\'t have anything to offer. But human greed was endless, the word sealed alone would bring many people to the abyss.

After all, only things that have value are kept a secret.

"For starters, the abyss is filled with Mana and Vitality. The regeneration of Mana and health there is way beyond normal."

"Oh my. That alone can bring about many big shots to make a move. Nobody would want to miss out on such a big treasure trove. Places that have high mana concentration end up having some treasures that nobody would want to give up on."

Harold said with emotions. Of course, he himself was moved after hearing that the abyss\'s mana density was much higher than other places.

"That\'s the problem. I don\'t want the other races to end so soon. Even normal non-combat villagers there are as powerful as a veteran soldier here. What do you think? Have they been living in such a good environment without getting stronger? I heard the emperor has even crossed his third cycle of power and is halfway through his fourth cycle. Other than him, there are many powerful generals in the first and second cycle."

I said as I sipped on the fragrant tea.

Truly, the delicacies of Mayhem were far above the real world. This was heaven for people with diabetes. They didn\'t have to worry about their sugar levels while consuming food here after all.

"Midway through the third cycle of power…?"

Harold was shocked to hear that revelation. To think such a threat lay underneath the central continent.

"I am afraid that currently, none of the two big empires has anyone as strong as that. Even the emperor of the Sahhan empire has just entered his third cycle."

Harold shook his head, thinking about the people who would end up poking into the bees\' nest, thinking they were harmless.

"And you\'re saying you defeated a person in his second cycle of power and took over his territory?"

"Yes, your grace."

I could see sweat trickling down Harold\'s head as if he was glad he didn\'t end up offending me. I could understand the reason for his wariness. He was a level 189 warrior. If I defeated someone in their second cycle who could breathe fire then I could easily defeat Harold if I had to.

"So, are you going to start your own kingdom from the abyss?"

Harold asked curiously. After all, there was no way that the other powerhouses would let someone like me, an outsider per se, roam free, not unless I became a threat on a level where they couldn\'t just recklessly fight me head-on.

The best way to do that would be to divide the power in the abyss and become a part of one of the leading factions.

"A kingdom…"

I hadn\'t thought about it before, but it seems like going the kingdom route will be the best. I had already left the Chrysanthemum guild and was now trying to build my own force. The best way would be to make a guild and start by conquering the abyss slowly with the help of my allies.

\'Allies?\'

I felt like I was forgetting someone.

Who was it?

Who…

Oh, fuck!

"Gomchul and Nameless, where are they?"

I had totally forgotten about the comrades that I had picked up when I was killing Zultan.

"The southern orc and that knight guy? They come here every few days to ask me if I have returned. Nameless was saying he couldn\'t message you because you haven\'t accepted his request. Not gonna lie, the orc guy looked pretty sad to me."

Of course, he\'d be sad! He had left behind his whole tribe to follow me and I had totally forgotten about him.

I didn\'t know whether I should laugh or cry.

"Do you know where they\'re?"

"I don\'t have an exact idea. But from their talks, it seems like they\'re staying at the Chrysanthemum guild."

"Then I won\'t disturb your sleep any longer. You may rest, your grace."

I said as I bowed a bit curtly.

"Oh, c\'mon. We are family, stop being so polite. You can call me Harold, or even dad!"

"I won\'t stand on ceremony. Harold, it is then."

Harold seemed a bit disappointed that I didn\'t call him dad, nevertheless. I didn\'t want to stay here any longer than necessary.

"Goodnight."

I left the castle and went to Brinkest city. Since the guild was located in the main city, I won\'t have to trouble myself to move around a different city to just look for an orc and a chunni guy.

\'How would I face them?\'

I was laughing hard on the inside. I had left their guild just days after joining it, that too without informing them.

"Hello everyone, how have you guys been?"

I entered the guild house and asked with a bright smile, soon after, deadly gazes landed on me.

Gomchul looked at me with an indignant expression, as if I had promised him candy and forgot to keep my word. I couldn\'t spot Nameless in the people who were sitting inside the guild.

There was Bowser drinking on the guild\'s bar counter. As soon as he saw me, he smiled lightly and waved his hand. Truly an angel.

Fender was looking at me like I had stolen his money, so was true with the other guild members, whose names I had already forgotten.

\'Sorry guys, please become more important.\'

I looked around to see if Lynch was there, but thankfully, that troublesome brat seemed to be offline.

Just when I thought that two flashes of light shined, indicating that some players had logged in. Unsurprisingly, it was Lynch and Nameless, who glared at me as if I had killed their cats.

"Oh, hello Lynch. Yo, Nameless."

"Fuck you, dude."

Those were the most modern words that I had ever heard from Nameless\' mouth. Good going kid, that\'s an improvement.

"Where have you been? At least text us before making the decision to leave the guild."

Lynch said calmly.

\'Huh? That\'s too mature coming from him. Shouldn\'t he already be throwing a tantrum by now?\'

"Look at that, acting all calm. I wonder who was the person who kept cursing and cursing while pulling their own hair in anger."

Bowser chuckled as he said while sipping on his drink.

"Shut up, Bowser! This isn\'t funny!"

Lynch\'s face turned red from embarrassment as he finally started letting it out.

After he was done sulking, he went and sat on the bar counter and started drinking as if he would really get drunk here.

"Why did you leave though? I am sure you must have had your reasons. And don\'t worry about that alchemy book, it was a normal book that would have been wasted here anyways. It turned into a special grade because of you, so it rightfully belongs to you, just paying us the original price is fine. We never intended to take millions of gold from you, it was just to make you join the guild."

Bowser said as he gestured for me to come and sit at a bar table.

I went and sat, and he offered me a jug of wine.

"No thanks, I just drank some nice tea at Harold\'s place. I appreciate the gesture though."

"Harold\'s place….?"

He looked at me like I was a ghost. Calling the duke directly by his name as if he was my childhood buddy.

"Anyway, what\'s going on? Did you join some other guild?"

Bowser asked curiously.

"Nah, not really. I just don\'t like the name of the guild, so I\'ll create my own."

"....."

"I told you it was a bad idea to name the guild as a fucking flower!"

Fender shouted at Lynch who glared at me.

"I am kidding. I have acquired a town and a village in the abyss and am starting a new city there. I want to start my own guild and slowly build up a kingdom."

\'"WHAT?!"\'

This time, even the always calm Bowser seemed to have received a blow.

"Well…"

I started telling them what went on inside the abyss, making their eyes go wide, then their mouths agape.
