The Night Sun

A global chat notification pop up.

【Making Love with the Sword has killed ruthlessly, claiming the lives of 11 people. Snow Step has fallen at the Forest of Resentment. We urge the masters to hold him accountable.】

Global Chat Notification when too many are killed.

Sword of Love's name is now blood-red.

TwinBird sighed, too exhausted.

"Use it quickly, before the gossipers come and ruin it for us."

She immediately transferred money to Hana and Sword of Love.

【Hana used an Amnesty Order. Sincerely repenting, returning to the righteous path.】

【TwinBird used an Amnesty Order. Sincerely repenting, returning to the righteous path.】

Sword of Love gave a wry smile.

He transferred it back to TwinBird.

"Keep it, I've killed too many already, the system won't let me use it anymore. Besides, I don’t plan on using it."

"You two go and rejoin the guild."

He cracked his neck.

"Today, I'm going on a murder spree !"

The world chat started buzzing with messages from Sword of Love.

【Making Love with the Sword: A gentleman doesn't strike from the shadows. I'm Officially declaring the annihilation of Fire&Ice Camp. Kill on sight.】

【Ice Fire Song: ? What nonsense are you barking about?】

Immediately following, there was a flood of abusive messages from members of the Fire&Ice Camp.

The world chat was continuously scrolling with countless unpleasant words.

【Moonlight Clan is a bunch of crap eaters.】

【They can't even spend 1 billion in the game.】

【If you want money, just say it; I'll give you a few million in-game. No need for this incessant barking.】

【PVP players are just a bunch of losers, failing in life so they have to resort to self-consolation.】

【Hey you, what nonsense are you barking?】

Suddenly, the animosity shifted, and the PVP crowd started a chaotic exchange with Fire&Ice Camp.

【You poor folks can only survive in the balanced mode. Been living off the game for a long time, son? Ever spent any money?】

【Hilarious LOL. In dungeons, you get beaten like a dog by bosses because your PVP gear is so weak.】

The world chat thus turned into a midnight battlefield.

Suddenly, an anonymous post appeared on the forum.

【Moonlight Clan, you just gained a little bit of fame and is now delusional. Wanting to overthrow the top guild ?】

There was alot of lie throwing around on global chat. It twisted the narrative from the Moonlight Clan's insults to allegedly offending all the top guilds.

Then there was another claims that the Moonlight Clan's team exploited a bug, causing the First Boss not to retaliate, allowing them to easily pass the dungeon.

A deluge of slander was thus poured onto the clan.

Tonight, the air was indeed filled with the heavy scent of gunpowder!

[Demanding to take down the top guild, LOL. They got lucky with the First Boss and think they're Server Rank 1 now.]

[I heard the Fire&Ice Camp went to kill Moonlight Clan members but got killed in reverse. Among those killed by Making Love with the Sword, there are already 10 marked with red names.]

[So funny, absolutely hilarious. Snow Step is well-known for being a money-spending whale, yet, unfortunately, got outplayed by Sword of Love.]

[Fire&Ice Camp has never been any good. Last year's dungeon run was also about oppressing smaller guilds. There was a girl from the Fire&Ice Camp who had to switch guilds because some woman in that camp bullied her.]

[I heard that was because the girl planned to be a 'green tea' home-wrecker, LOL.]

[I wonder if the other top guilds will make any moves about this.]

...

...

Morning came.

Last night, the entire server was truly stuffed with gossip.

It was just that it was midnight, so the core members of the Top guilds weren't fully online.

As soon as morning arrived, the Group chat of the Top Guild Alliance started sending out meeting coordinates. Only the guild leaders and key members of the Top 10 guilds were allowed to attend.

Positions from 4th to 10th frequently change, but the top three positions are almost always held by the same guilds. However, even among these top three guilds, the rankings constantly fluctuate, with no guild holding the Number 1 spot for too long.

The Guild Leader of the Eastern Joy Club, MaGold. -

The Guild Leader of Black and White, Unpredictable. -

The Guild Leader of the Noodle Shop, Proud Sky. -

The equipment these three possess is simply the pinnacle in First World.

All the equipment they wear has special effects.

These three individuals are, without exaggeration, the ones who sustain the game.

Despite the massive player base, the money these three spend accounts for 60% of First World's revenue.

They are the three Great Ocean Monsters of spending money !

They met at Moonlight Pavilion, a luxurious place in the Extreme East, funded by the guild leader Heaven's Pride.

"As you all see, the Moonlight Clan is starting to look down on us. I propose we crush them to set an example," said Ice Fire Song.

"Ice Fire Song is right, these insolent ones just need a guild annihilation beating and they'll behave," added by Dac Ly.

Dac Ly is the Guild Leader of Miraculous, which ranks in the Top 9.

He is actually feeling his position in the alliance is being seriously threatened due to this dungeon event.

Many smaller guilds have gained significant reputation and members thanks to this dungeon event.It seems the positions 7, 8, 9, and 10 are about to change significantly.

The best thing to do now is to find an ally before that happens.

"As I see it, they only killed people from your clan. Not to mention, it was your clan that attacked them first, wasn't it?" Mujou replied.

"Lord Mujou, you've got it wrong. The Moonlight Clan just recently killed members from Black and White and several other guilds in our alliance too. It just happened, so they haven't killed many noteworthy ones yet."

"Oh? Really? So, are you saying I'm wrong?" Mujou glared at him.

"N-No! It's just that you haven't received the news yet."

Mujou looked at him indifferently.

"So, can you guarantee what you're saying is true?"

"I will call on my brothers in the guild to help you destroy the Moonlight Clan. But—"

Unpredictable smiled, sending shivers down Ice Fire Song's spine.

"If the Moonlight Clan hasn't laid a finger on Black & White’s members, then consider Fire&Ice Camp wiped out from now on."

Ice Fire Song felt a chill run down his spine.

"I-I'll need to investigate more first."

These three can indeed wipe out a guild with just their words.

"Alright, stop now. Your mouth is always full of daggers," MaGold dispelled the tense atmosphere.

"Ice Fire Song, right? My stance is very simple."

MaGold rested his chin on his hand.

"I play the game to have fun."

"And right now, I'm very happy because the Hidden Storyline is opening. I'm also extremely looking forward to the game's Main Storyline appearing."

"So, I'll stay out of this issue and focus on what I care about, which is clearing dungeons."

"If anyone dares to disturb my guild while we're clearing dungeons, then there will be problems."

"Doesn't matter if it's the Moonlight Clan or any of the 9 guilds here, there will be problems."

MaGold smiled.

However, everyone in the meeting, except for Heaven's Pride and Mujou, was sweating profusely.

This meeting should never have been called.

Mujou glared at MaGold.

He didn't care about MaGold's words at all.

In fact, he planned to stir things up. He wanted to block the Eastern Joy Club just for fun.

Life without drama...is ain't fun.

Heaven's Pride was indifferent.

He was busy ordering drinks from an NPC.

“Well, I'm off. I've got things to do, you all continue,” Heaven's Pride said.

Ice Fire Song turned to look at Heaven's Pride.

"So, what is Lord Heaven's Pride's opinion?"

Proud Sky seemed to ignore him.

He turned to converse with an NPC.

"Call Lady Eyestorm to entertain me.”

Huh.

Hey, old man.

Are you really here to flirt with NPC rather than to attend the meeting?

Isn't this just a game?

The meeting room had never been so cold.

In the end, Ice Fire Song gritted his teeth and sent a message to a few key members in the guild.

【Send people to apply to the Moonlight Clan, preferably those who haven't been in our clan to avoid suspicion. Then PK members of the Black and White guild and Eastern Joy Club.】【Those top 3 won't take action unless they get caught in the crossfire. So let's smear them directly.】
