MMORPG : Rise of the Interstellar God
chapter-198-30041322

Some hour later...

Two men were drinking beer and laughing together...It was Enzo and Louis alias Azazel...

Louis said "I saw your interview, poor Kent, you didn't even leave him the crumbs..."

Enzo replied "This journalist only thinks about getting ratings he doesn't care about the consequences of their questions, if August hadn't forced me to do it, we could have started having an aperitif earlier..."

the two men burst out laughing again...

Louis said "Have you heard the rumors?"

Enzo answered "What rumor?"

Louis said "ABC games has tease a new VRMMORPG game in space..."

Enzo replied "Oh,Come on...There are 50 VRMMORPGs released per year...They have a population that rarely exceeds a few thousand players, World of Warcraft will always be on top! It's the fate of the first to arrive that sweeps all..."

Louis replied "It seems that it is different with him! It will use the technology of the quantum computers which will allow them to generate calculations almost has the infinity and those in a few seconds, according to the developers who work on the project it will be closer to a simulation of the universe, that of a video game..."

Enzo answers "Look, we'll see... Anyway, my contract with Renovatio doesn't end for two decades, so I think I'll see this famous game, after all I don't really have a say in it, it's either this or I go back to prison..."

Enzo then took a sip of his pint of beer and added "And you what do you account, if this famous game or simulator, comes out? Are you planning to explore the space?"

Louis replied, "I started playing World of Warcraft five years ago! I sacrificed five years of my life away from my family, my wife and my children to be able to devote myself full time to this game, in three days when you renew the sharing of the management of the portal of darkness to SoulCalibure, I will announce my withdrawal from the E-sport scene and my guild, I will sell my stuff and my gold coins to the auctions and I will be able to devote my time fully with my wife and my children, have already signed our compromise of sale of our house on Mars! "

Enzo was surprised by this revelation and said "Oh... What about your guild like does it take it?"

Louis answered

"They are already aware of it and I have already found a replacement and then with the sharing of the customs tax of the portal, most of them are more concerned about how to spend all this gold they have worked so hard for..."

Hearing this, Enzo was slightly sad after four years spent seeing Azazel every day in the games, for him it was like a brother, not being able to play with him was like losing a friend, especially since he had now the project to leave the planet to settle on Mars...

But Enzo pulled himself together, he raised his glass and said "I wish you good luck, Louis! I hope you get through it!"

Louis, happy to hear his friend say this despite this revelation, also raised his glass and said, "I hope we'll still be friends!"

Enzo answered "Of course!"

Two days later

Rome - HQ of Renovatio Rome

Enzo was getting dressed for important meetings...His status in four years had evolved a lot...He was now a key player in Renovatio, in fact he was even considered the living figure of the guild.

His new luxurious apartment now gave him an unobstructed view of Rome, his salary was several million credits per year...

And despite his status as a former prisoner he was respected by everyone in the Renovatio structure, after all it was partly thanks to him and his charisma that Renovatio was placed so high...

Enzo arrived in the meeting room, all the senior staff of the guild was there, Augustus the guild leader, Brutus the recruitment manager, Tibirus the PvP/Pve Rooster selector...

More than a dozen people who had all major functions within the guild ...

Edward alias Augustus, stood up and said "Good! Thank you for coming despite the distance that separates us and the difficulty to travel between the dome ..."

Then he added

"I have summoned you today to address a major issue! The creation of a selection of world class tank players!"

Everyone in the room looked at each other, this subject had always been hard to start, but until then an understanding had been found with the Soulcalibure guild who provide them with the best tanks in the game...

someone interrupted him and said "But Edward...our self-help treaty with Soulcalibure?!

Edward, as usual, keeps a total control of this emotion and answers him "I'm coming to that, I've decided with the shareholders, to accept their offer, we will break our relationship with Soulcalibure and build a full independence of our rooster..."

In the room, nobody spoke...The relationship between Renovatio and SoulCalibure was merged, indeed their two communities were doing all the events, raid or activity together, actually it was difficult to make the difference between a member of Renovatio and Soulcalibure...

But strangely, no one objected to Edward the guild leader and the shareholders who paid their salaries, except Enzo who said "But Edward, we know everything here the conditions that was set by the shareholders! He wants us to have the exclusivity of the portal in order to be able to determine alone the tariff of passage and customs! And even if you had accepted this condition we know very well that we would have to wait six months before the next phase of contestation, so we still have time to debate and make the best decision."

Edward, still incredibly calm, said "That's not true, Ceasar, tomorrow you, as the raid leader who conquered the portal, will determine the allocation percentage for each person... You will give 100% control to my character Augustus...So our guild will have the exclusivity of the portal and our projects will be unlocked with the shareholders."

A great silence was heard for several seconds...

Then Enzo, shocked, answered "You don't want us to separate from Soulcalibure, you want us to betray our allies?

Edward always calmly replied "That's exactly it. Tomorrow Renovatio Imperii will have hegemony over this vital area of the game and we should be the second Guild of World of Warcraft!
