Rioneed: VRMMORPG

"Alright, I will give you a chance to negotiate with me. I don't plan on preventing anyone from entering the higher world, but I need you all to understand something… this world is very dangerous."

"Don't think we are weak like you. We are the strongest here in this world," one angry cultivator said in arrogance. Ibro didn't mind his attitude so he replied with lack of interest:

"I'm not belittling you, I'm just advising you. As far as I know, this world is the highest ever in this universe."

"What do you mean Ibro kid?"

Ibro looked at the dean then sighed. He then said:

"Let's speak somewhere safe. What I'm about to tell you is very dangerous."

The dean exchanged silent looks with everyone here. Most people nodded while few decided to leave this place. Ibro wasn't stupid, he knew they would go and spread the words out there. 

He wasn't afraid of their retaliation as he wouldn't stay here for long. Ibro then followed the dean and other cultivators towards a small building. 

That building was located in the same area of buildings and huge trees where Ibro came with Zroki before. Once they entered the building, everyone's eyes became focused over Ibro who said:

"Now, let's talk about real business here. This world is the highest world in this universe, and this is true. This world is the gate to this universe."

Ibro heard voices of exclamations from most of them.

"Do you mean you reached the holy battlegrounds?"

Ibro looked at the dean and asked in turn:

"I don't know the real name of that world, but indeed there are a lot of hot battles over there. Actually my armies have been fighting since I entered that world till this moment against endless armies of monsters."

"Armies? What armies?"

Ibro looked to the cultivator who asked him and replied calmly:

"My armies. In fact, I'm not a useless weak rogue cultivator. I'm a death sorcerer."

As Ibro expected, these cultivators didn't look to him as a freak like others. They looked at him with obvious surprise and shock. Ibro believed they already knew about his background so he continued:

"As for my armies, last time I checked they were nearly over 400 million skeletons. They are growing in strength since day one in battles, so their combined strength you can't even imagine."

Ibro tried to use this known fact to make them know his real strength. The dean ignored this point, as he already knew it, and he asked:

"Now, what should we do to get into that world?"

"Nothing much. But before we speak about this I need to sum the situation there up to you."

"We are already aware of the situation there. There are 10 big factions in this world. which faction did you join?"

"My faction."

Ibro was watching their reactions slowly. As he guessed it, they took his answer as a joke and even some of them laughed.

"Do you think I'm joking? I have already established my faction there."

"Really? How did you establish this faction then? Using your skeleton warriors?"

Although there was a mockery tone obvious in that cultivator words, Ibro neglected that. He looked to all of them and said very seriously:

"I established my village there."

"Village? How so? Any village needs workers to build. No village will be built in just less than a week!"

"That's because I didn't build a normal village like you all know, I built a game village."

Ibro noticed the strange looks of all of them towards him. He also expected this reaction. This was the hardest obstacle in his plan, so he looked towards the dean and asked:

"May I have your permission to build something here?"

The dean looked to him strangely but he decided to stand beside his disciple. Technically, Ibro was his disciple and heir.

"Sure. Do you need me to bring some builders?"

"Yes, I would appreciate that."

In the next few minutes, everyone was standing in a spacious place in this small village. In front of them, Ibro took out a design for the market he took from Rinobak when his villagers were building the market. 

He then put the market soul stone onto it. The design shone brilliantly all of a sudden and that stone disappeared on a whim. After that Ibro gave the layout to the builders who started building it at high speed. 

Although there were over 100 builders here, it took nearly three hours to finish this building. Once it finished, they all felt strange as the head of the builders said to the dean:

"We have finished building it, but… this building is weird. There are some parts which appeared from their own inside it. 

Also, there was some sort of power that was generated during our work. I don't know what is this all about, but we built it exactly like this layout said."

The Dean glanced at Ibro who nodded in agreement, then he said to the builders:

"Thanks for your hard work, everything is fine."

Then all the builders went away. Ibro moved towards the building while saying:

"Now, let me open your eyes to a whole new world."

Everyone exchanged silent glances. There was no one out there who believed Ibro, even the dean. 

Eventually, they followed him to enter this widely spacious place. Inside, there was only one hanging screen in the middle of this wide room. They all gathered around it as Ibro was standing in front of it. 

There was nothing else out there except this screen anyway. When Ibro noticed that this empty place had turned into a crowded one, he said in a loud voice:

"I'm not going to show you something you have never experienced. The only one here who has the right to operate this building is the dean, so please put your hand over the screen."

The dean looked at him in silence then he moved leisurely towards the screen. The moment he put his hand over it, a soft voice appeared in the building:

"Welcome to the market interface sect master. Do you want to browse all the available goods now? Or do you prefer to sell some goods here?"
