Arthur gestured for everyone to gather closer within the Power Guild’s main assembly hall, his expression carrying satisfaction with the sight before him.
"I officially invite all of you to join the Power Guild as high-value mbers," Arthur announced with ceremonial authority that reflected the historical significance of what was occurring.
As the words left his mouth, a system notification materialised before every individual present—including those who had never been selected as beta players during the initial dinsional access procedures.
----
[Guild Invitation Received]
[Power Guild requests your mbership]
[Accept/Decline]
----
Each S-rank awakened accepted the invitation without hesitation, understanding that they were participating in the formation of what would certainly beco the most influential organisation in human history.
Imdiately following their acceptance, rings materialised on the fingers of those who did not possess beta player status. Familiar symbols of dinsional access that had marked them as participants in Armageddon’s supernatural systems since the initial selection process.
The rings appeared on the fingers of Zhang Ming and Seliora Dusk, both of whom had never been selected during the original beta player recruitnt. Their shocked expressions reflected complete bewildernt at receiving access to systems they had never qualified for previously.
Arthur observed their surprise with interest before providing a possible explanation for the unexpected developnt.
"You two are officially beta players now, it seems," Arthur said with obvious satisfaction at this unforeseen benefit. "The system has recognised you as qualified participants, probably because entering Armageddon through normal ans is impossible for non-beta awakened individuals."
The implication was clear—the Power Guild’s status within Armageddon’s systems had sohow granted dinsional access to mbers who hadn’t previously qualified for such privileges.
Zhang Ming and Seliora Dusk nodded with obvious excitent as they processed the implications of their new status. They suddenly possessed access to the sa dinsional capabilities and advancent opportunities that had previously been restricted to the originally selected beta players.
Arthur looked at the assembled group before issuing practical instructions for maintaining communication across global distances.
"Add each other through the system. We’ll maintain contact through Armageddon’s communication networks—they’re more reliable and secure than anything conventional technology can provide."
Everyone imdiately began exchanging friend requests through their dinsional interfaces, creating a comprehensive communication network that would allow instant coordination regardless of geographical separation or international political complications.
After the friend network was established, Arthur’s attention focused on the two newly inducted beta players.
"Zhang Ming, Seliora—you two remain here," Arthur instructed with a gentle tone. "The rest of you, I’ll transport back to your respective countries so you can continue your current responsibilities while beginning integration with Power Guild operations."
The spatial manipulation required to return nine S-rank awakened to their ho nations across multiple continents was accomplished within monts.
Each transport was completed within seconds, depositing Australia’s champions back to their defensive positions, returning China’s representatives to their strategic assignnts, and ensuring the remaining international recruits could resu their national obligations without creating complications.
After completing the global transportation requirents, Arthur returned to the Power Guild headquarters, where Zhang Ming and Seliora Dusk waited with obvious curiosity about why they had been selected to remain while the others were dismissed.
The guild hall felt different with only three occupants rather than twelve.
Their selection for extended orientation suggested they would be receiving specialised attention that went beyond that provided to the other S-rank awakened.
Arthur stood in the guild hall, his gaze moving between Zhang Ming and Seliora Dusk. Their status as both S-rank awakened and fresh dinsional access recipients made them ideal candidates for accelerated developnt.
"I have an opportunity for you both," Arthur began with the serious tone of soone discussing matters of life and death. "But you will need to have genuine courage and understand the substantial risks involved in what I’m proposing."
Zhang Ming and Seliora exchanged glances that reflected both curiosity and wariness before nodding with the disciplined attention of individuals accustod to high-stakes decision making.
"We’re listening," Zhang Ming replied with an equally serious tone.
Seliora nodded her agreent. "We understand that exceptional opportunities typically involve proportional risks."
Arthur appreciated their mature approach to uncertain propositions before continuing his explanation.
"I can provide you with access to an extrely high-level area where you can eliminate powerful creatures that will accelerate your levelling beyond anything achievable through thods available to other players," Arthur explained. "The experience gains available in this location would allow you to advance faster than anyone else in the world currently manages."
Both S-rank awakened showed imdiate interest, understanding that rapid advancent could an the difference between survival and death during the ongoing dinsional crisis.
"However," Arthur continued with emphasis on the serious nature of what he was proposing, "this opportunity cos at the cost of significant personal danger. The area contains threats that could potentially take your lives. They are by no ans weak, and the opportunity is by no ans easy. You will have to thrive, and think very carefully of every step you take."
His expression grew more grave as he addressed the life-threatening aspects of the proposal.
"I will assign a guardian to accompany you for basic protection, but the probability of death remains high regardless of such precautions. Anything could happen in environnts where the demons you saw on earth are considered ants."
Arthur’s tone carried the weight of soone who had personally experienced such dangers and understood their lethal potential.
"The choice is entirely yours whether to accept this opportunity or pursue safer advancent thods," Arthur concluded. "I won’t pressure either of you toward decisions that could result in permanent consequences you can’t even regret."
What Arthur didn’t reveal was that his assessnt of danger levels was deliberately exaggerated to test their character rather than provide an accurate risk evaluation. While the proposed training area would certainly be challenging, his protective asures would ensure their survival with near-absolute certainty.
Arthur didn’t want Power Guild high-value mbers to beco simply power-levelled individuals without developing the psychological resilience necessary for facing genuine threats.
