World Online-Chapter 216 Gathering

Two Days Later,

Edge of the Eastern Continent

Conveniently enough for any guild that wanted to prepare to enter the unknown lands, the edge of the continent had a large ground that was completely empty.

There was nothing in this ground. Not a single monster, and not a single blade of grass.

But at the moment, it was filled. With thousands of players, all bustling, talking to each other, and all of them looking at the spectacle that was laid out in front of them.

The edge of the world had one thing that was quite interesting to look at.

It was a door that opened up to the unknown lands.

Of course, this one door was no ordinary door. It was a door meant for giants and gods. The manner with which it was built and put up, it could not have been done by humans.

This door was part of a wall that seemed to extend across the entire continent! A wall that covered a continent!

Which human force would do something so stupid? And yet, it was done here.

There were a total of two doors to this wall. One of them was in the eastern end, and one of them in the western end.

Both of these doors had been opened before. Jake wasn't the first one to think that the eastern route was a good choice.

Others thought that since the western route was too difficult, the eastern route was probably easier. And boy were they wrong.

Jake looked up at the door that was going to open very soon.

This door, just like the giant wall, towered above them like a colossus. It was as tall as a skyscraper, and made of a gray metal.

In fact, the entire wall looked like it was made with metal instead of brick and mortar.

Jake smiled as he looked at the door. He had been through here once before, but not exactly through the eastern route.

The Shadow King Guild decided to follow the steps of other guilds and collect the scraps. They were cowards through and through.

"Maybe I should have realized that sooner. But what good is it, thinking about the past?" Jake shook it off.

"Now, it is our turn." Jake turned left to look at the three others who were leading their forces.

Everyone here were leaders off their guilds, except for none other than the Roman Empire.

Nolan wasn't here, as Jake expected.

For someone who struggled to even speak and walk, why would he ever try to come to an expedition? That would be stupid!

In his stead was the leader of a guard that Jake was a little familiar with.

The leader of Praetorian Guard.

Jake wasn't acquainted with him yet, but he recognized him from the crowd the day that he went to take a look at Horace.

"What do you mean, our turn?" Phoenix laughed as she asked.

"The guild masters of each guild will be the ones to open the doors. We will have to agree to a few conditions that the wall poses before we can enter." Jake explained.

"Why else do you think this volume of the game was called the dawn of guilds? Guilds will play such an important role, starting here." He laughed.

"Of course I knew that." Phoenix snorted, but she looked back, giving a death stare to her attendant who was always behind her.

"Follow me." Jake said as he walked up to the giant door.

As they got closer, the enormous size of the wall and the door was put into perspective even more.

There were small carvings on the wall, but their meaning could never be understood by anyone, not even after ten years in the game, as far as Jake remembered.

And all of them stopped as they looked at a box that was at the center.

A box with carvings that they did understand.

It was English, and it was a message.

[For thousands of years, this wall has stood, trying to keep those monsters out. For they will only die in the hands of those who defy the heavens. If the heaven defiers have finally arrived, then it is time for these doors to finally open. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

Only true leaders among these heaven defiers will be able to open these doors.

This is no place for hesitation, and so, once you go through these doors, the others will forever remain shut to you.]

The moment Jake looked at this message, he felt a ping.

[Expedition Quest: Clear the Five Checkpoints

Quest Difficulty: A

Time Limit - None

Reward: Unknown

Penalty: None

Accept: Y/N]

"Wait, what?" Jake almost laughed. All those years and he forgot a few tiny details.

"This is just an 'A' grade quest? And everyone is failing? How the hell is that possible? Even I am able to clear S grade quests." He said, shaking his head.

"Did all of you get the quest message?" Lone Wolf asked, bringing Jake back to the matter at hand.

"Once you accept it, it will recognize the guilds around you, and will ask you if they are allies, neutral parties, or enemies." Jake said.

"Enemies? What will happen if they are enemies?" Lone Wolf chuckled as he asked.

"What else? It will help you guys go to war." Jake smiled and said.

"War? Between guilds. Boy, would that be interesting. I should try it later." Lone Wolf nodded.

Jake went ahead and accepted the quest. As he did, the pop up that he told Lone Wolf about appeared.

[Is the Guild: Wolf's Den an ally?

Y/N]

[Is the Guild: Phoenix's Dawn an ally?

Y/N]

[Is the Guild: The Roman Empire an ally?

Y/N]

Jake accepted all of the messages.

Then, he looked at the guild masters of these guilds.

"You can accept the requests that I sent over to you. Once you do, the system will recognize that we are together." Jake said.

"Whatever." Lone Wolf shrugged as he tapped on his notification.

[You have now started the expedition with Wolf's Den, Phoenix's Dawn, and The Roman Empire. The doors at the end of the world will open soon.]
