As ntioned before, guilds within Zenith Online were vehicles of imnse financial potential. But that potential only beca apparent after they could shatter all the major limitations.
A guild required an insane amount of mbers to function correctly, but it also needed respect from NPCs and fear from players.
Without those two components, an uprising guild was bound to fail after suffering the suppression of several gargantuan presences.
Kieran understood that because he only possessed nine other mbers, creating a guild at this very mont was difficult.
Before Kieran could voice his concerns, Altair was the first to speak. “Wait, you have fulfilled all the criteria to beco a Guild Master?!”
The requirents to beco a Guild Master were no longer a secret. One simply needed to ask the Adventurers’ Guild for information on the matter to learn the specifics. The terms were as follows:
The player required a reputation of a Lord or higher.
A Lord was the reputation caliber in which players could begin registering land and property under their na. While obtaining property was easy, acquiring land was next to impossible, so no one sought this option.
In Zenith Online’s current form, obtaining a piece of pri property was the most practical route for existing guilds to officially establish themselves within Zenith Online.
Kieran had fulfilled this requirent, so there were no worries on this part.
However, there were additional requirents that could more or less be considered more challenging to complete.
Aside from being a Lord, the player must hold a Gold Adventurer Badge to be considered a candidate for an official Guild Master position.
Kieran received this early in the ga, and it was quite easy.
In fact, if it was compared to players who tried to obtain a Gold Adventurer Badge now, the ti-to-effort ratio difference was staggering!
The third requirent was that one must pass the Power Exam of the Adventurers’ Guild, which tested the player’s individual strength. At the very least, the Guild Master must be considered a peak Interdiate Being to pass this exam.
This particular requirent existed for the sake of the created guild’s protection. Many dark forces within Zenith Online preyed on infant powers to obtain their livelihood.
One such power was the Desertborn Brigands that Kieran annihilated.
The last and most elusive requirent was the Official Guild Creation Order that dropped from bosses of specific standards. It could be obtained in dungeons, but only from a difficulty that Kieran had yet to attempt.
Aside from dungeons, it could also be a lucky pull from Treasure Chests, but the odds of that happening were less than favorable. Kieran considered this option in the past, but now he wasn’t so sure.
After all, Khaos had invited him to join in a dungeon run.
If they obtained the First Clear, his need for his Treasure Chests would change, allowing him to simply spam open his Treasure Chest and see what he received.
Kieran shook his head in response to Altair’s question. “I haven’t completed all of them, but I’ve completed the most difficult one. We can move forward as soon as I obtain the Official Guild Creation Order.”
“Are you telling we’ll beco the first official guild within Zenith Online?! Are you kidding ? Do you know how insane that would be? Not even the Behemoths or Leviathans have accomplished that,” Bastion exclaid.
He felt as if his heart would explode from the excitent.
The Leviathans were a grade of guilds above the Behemoths, and they earned their status as Leviathans because they were viewed as untouchable.
Not even Golden Brigade in his past life fulfilled the requirent to mature into the Ninth Leviathan. In fact, it was the 2nd Ranked Behemoth, which is why it was considered a top ten guild.
“He’s right. Speaking of which, I haven’t heard much about the Leviathans. They have been awfully silent. That’s uncharacteristic of them,” Nean ntioned.
Kieran chuckled at everyone’s responses.
“Zenith Online isn’t like other gas. One can’t join and willfully create a guild. Their previous status is virtually worthless until they can garner rapport with revered figures.”
In previous titles, creating a guild was effortless. All it required was money. If one had that, nothing could stop them. But Zenith Online veered away from that power model.
A player’s stratum didn’t directly relate to one’s status inside the ga. Everything had to be acquired by skill or luck.
“I agree. It has only been a few weeks, but this ga has been eye-opening. I wouldn’t have thought a ga could temper us,” Alice added.
Sithik nodded behind her, rolling his aching shoulders. “I thought it was unbelievably hard at first, but I judged it too early. The settings were made to weed out the weak and leave those willing to truly brave danger.”
Many players quit the ga after dying countless tis and suffering trauma, but the number was negligible compared to the number of players Kieran’s stream attracted.
Before starting the ga, many of them visited his stream, lauded as Zenith Online’s most entertaining channel. His last stream had broken all-ti records!
“I’m glad you all are growing to love the ga, but we can’t forget that a guild within Zenith Online is nothing without a headquarters on Earth. This facility won’t suffice. We need sothing that is our own,” Kieran announced, drawing everyone away from their chatter.
“I… I could probably get my mother to finance the guild if you’d like,” Alice offered.
Kieran felt that Alice ca from an Affluent Family based on the style and grace of her movent. Her detached deanor and composed behavior weren’t too odd for a rich girl.
But Kieran shook his head. “At the very least, our silent partner would have to be an Extre Magnate Family, but that’s pretty much impossible. They’ll want to swallow the entire guild.”
An Extre Magnate Family went beyond the influence of a typical Magnate Family like the ones that backed the Behemoths. Extre Magnate Families could tip the scales of the global economy with their individual wealth.
Such a frightening power was sothing no regi, whether the governnts of the various countries or guilds, were willing to clash heads with. It wasn’t uncommon for individuals targeted by Extre Magnate Families to simply vanish into thin air.
“If we need a backer like that… what will we do?” Alice grimaced. “My family isn’t even considered a Magnate Family. Perhaps it could be in a few more years, but as of right now, we’re an Affluent Family.”
“Wow, that’s quite the background you have. You’re already a socialite,” Kieran nodded, smiling faintly.
After smiling, Kieran’s expression grew serious. “What we will do is simple—acquire supre power within Zenith Online and beco our backer. I want sole ownership. I will not be handing out shares of our future guild. It will take ample work, but that’s why we’re having this discussion.”
Kieran crossed his arms and guided everyone upstairs before taking a seat to discuss the important matters.
Once seated, Kieran continued. “I want to assign our roles from now. Everyone at this table will be given a core mber status once the guild is created. This ans you are a part of the original mbers.”
“Even ?” Sithik asked cautiously.
“ too?” Cygnus questioned, blinking her watery eyes.
“Yes, you two are included. Why would I train if I didn’t intend to employ you? You can beco excellent healers. I haven’t gauged your skills recently, but I’m sure your awareness now is incomparable to before.”
Kieran then shifted his gaze to Altair. “I want you as my High Commander, and if not that, you’ll beco my Executioner.”
Altair grinned after hearing this offer. “Usually, I would reject an offer to join a guild as I have done for the past ten years, but what can I say? You all have grown on . Executioner sounds good to .”
Altair wasn’t the type that sought such high responsibilities, so the Executioner position would fit him well.
“Bastion, you’ll beco my Chief of Tankers and Main Tank,” Kieran said. He paused and awaited the passing of Bastion’s gleeful smile.
“Nean, you’ll beco the Vice Guild Master responsible for discipline and maintaining order.”
“Woohoo!” Nean shouted with a raised fist. “I’ll be a Vice Guild-Master. Do you guys hear that? You’ll have to listen to this daddy in the future!”
Kieran snickered but didn’t say much. “Alice, you’ll beco the second Vice Guild Master responsible for managent. I believe you’ll excel in this departnt.”
“Sera, even though you’re quiet, you always exhibit superior awareness and make prudent decisions, so you’ll naturally beco our Chief Healer, responsible for providing insight into what makes a good healer. This ans your position will rival Bastion.”
“Sithik, Cygnus—you’ll naturally be two of the main healers within our main squadron. Cyr, you’re going to shadow Altair and continue to develop your skill. Once you are strong enough, I’ll grant you a more distinct position.”
Kieran laid all of the roles on the table regarding the battle aspect. There was also the matter of dealing with Lifestyle Players, but that didn’t involve these mbers.
Furthermore, it would be more tricky to set the foundations of that.
‘If I can scam Hamon and Sorcia, I an recruit… building off my current fa won’t be difficult,’ Kieran thought.
Scar had permitted him to roam, and Zerim had invited him to his family’s land, so Kieran’s chances are acquiring extraordinary materials were relatively high.
At that mont, his holo-phone began to vibrate and release an obnoxious alert. Everyone turned towards him with eyes brimming with curiosity.
