Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Forad had a thought which he hesitated for a moment about expressing it before saying:

"If my king wants, we can contact that alliance and try to make it join us."

Ibro sighed. This Forad was really naïve. People like Sara's family leaders would never accept being under the control of someone outside their line of hierocracy. They would sacrifice one of their blood for evading such fate. Ibro shook his head before ordering:

"I want you to forget about her family. They won't help us, instead, they will stand against us. Anyway, I want you now to go to the village and gain cultivation way and technique. I also want you to start creating the guild in Oklam city."

Oklam city was the heart of this empire. Ibro was destined to capture this empire. So, it was logical to put his roots in that city long before he conquered it. Forad didn't know any of this. He just thought Ibro wanted some eyes for him there at the capital of his enemies. he said at once:

"We will move right now, my king."

"Gorsag, send some boys with them. Deliver them to the village. Also, tell Rinobak to fortify the village more. A difficult battle is about to start there soon."

Gorsag nodded his head before moving out with the 10 players outside the palace. Ibro sat finally alone. He had to inspect his system. He was curious about what that store had. At once, he said in his mind:

'Open system store.'

The harsh voice replied in his mind:

'System store has been opened. You can view all the items there and choose from it as you wish.'

A long half-transparent window appeared in front of Ibro's vision. It was like the market interface but it was more concise. Items there weren't many, only 10 items. But each item was like a priceless treasure for Ibro. He felt deep shock about these items.

They were all abilities that he could unlock to the system. All these abilities were very useful for him. the ability he wanted most was the scout ability. It was similar to the god-like ability of Dronil. He missed this killer card.

The strange thing was the currency written beside each item. It was Pseudo-Ro energy stones. He didn't know what that meant, so he asked the system:

'What is the meaning of Pseudo-Ro energy stone? How do I get it?'

'The Pseudo-Ro energy stone is formed by me during the process of forming the normal Pseudo-Ro energy. This process is long and needs a lot of Pseudo-Ro energy to be formed. So, if you want to have a big amount of PSR stones, I suggest you work hard.'

Ibro looked at the store again. The cheapest ability cost around 500 PSR stones. That was a shield like protective ability that reminded Ibro of the immune skills. While he was immersed in this, Erond returned with Grorsag. Ibro noticed their presence at once, so he asked:

"Have you scouted our enemies?"

Erond answered:

"Yes, my king. That huge army had lost its backbone players, but it didn't stop. The army is still heading towards here. They have at least one day to reach this city."

Gorsag added:

"I have talked with these players and entered the forums. As you suspected it my king, that northern overlord had prepared a backhand. He is very sure of winning despite losing a major part of his army."

Ibro thought for a bit before ordering:

"Take the cultivators legion and go to the aid of the village. The skeletons army will be responsible for holding the city here."

As long his enemy wanted to play, he would accompany him. He knew his territory was extremely thin in comparison to the huge area of this empire. He needed to increase his domain early in the beginning to allow himself a space to develop.

After that, he would close in and raise his power to the max. Before the end of the 6th months, he would start to attack the whole empire to annex it in a rapid and swift motion. That was the current plan in his mind.

He then moved outside the palace and checked all the defenses of the city. The holes and damage that occurred to the walls had been repaired. The siege weapons from arsenal had been deployed all around the walls.

Ibro felt more at ease when he saw these huge catapults. Although he knew for sure now that his enemy was using this attack as a cover to allow his main troops to attack Ibro's village, Ibro wasn't sure of that overlord reaction.

Ibro had anticipated this move from him so he had prepared the suitable counter. That would frustrate the overlord and drive him mad. Crazy person was always a hard person to deal with. Ibro then took out his ring which contained a lot of Omega stones and gave it to Gorsag as he instructed:

"These are the same stones as I gave to you before. They are the last patch I have right now, but it is enough."

Gorsag understood Ibro's meaning, so he took the ring as he replied:

"I will start now."

Any lord had many faithful loyal followers. Ibro didn't want some trouble instigators to be hidden in his city. He wanted to eliminate this possible threat as he used this card. Also, his villagers could follow him anywhere he went, so they would be the base on which he would build his empire.

Ibro then moved back toward the palace as he resumed his training. This time, his mind was messy. A lot was on stake here. He took this gamble but he believed it was the right decision.

If he wanted to get stronger fast, he needed to harden his resolve and be more daring. When he found it more difficult to keep his state of mind in peace, he stopped his meaningless training and asked the system:

'System, the previous system had helped in forming my necromancer technique. What would you help me to form?'
