World Online

Jake took a few steps back for he knew what was about to happen.

The whole army behind him slowly started growing silent. This was not because someone gave a command though.

It was because they could hear the loud clinks of gears turning behind the doors.

The giant iron doors were opening.

The metallic sound was loud enough to be heard to the end of the army, with everyone stopping what they were doing.

The other three guild masters also went back to stand in front of their armies. And as they did, the doors finally moved.

They separated to show a thin slit of purple and red light at first.

Then, the doors moved a little faster. Still, considering how big the doors were, it was going to take a while for them to open completely.

And considering how big the army was, there was already prior consensus that everyone was going to be entering side by side.

The arrays that they had made were exactly right to enter the doors, but no one knew how big the path itself was. If it was different, they were going to have to change things up.

"I just hope that as we go in, the other guilds will be able to handle things properly." Jake muttered as he told himself.

When he looked behind, he could see so many unknown faces.

They were not exactly arranged guild wise. Sure, some of Jake's best were by his side, but the others were tanks and swordsmen of every guild.

The outer circle was made of tanks, and since each guild had varying amounts, the two guilds in the middle, Phoenix's Dawn and The Roman Empire, sent all of their tanks and swordsmen to the outside.

The mages and the healers were inside, with ample protection from the others.

"We should be seiged almost instantly." Jake muttered as he thought to himself.

This was the first time that he was looking at this scene, so he was looking quite intently.

First row tickets like the one he had were rare. So he could see what was happening at such close proximity.

He could see the gap between the two doors widen slowly. It was so slow that the murmurs from the silent army returned once more.

They waited so long, a month and half, and yet they had to wait for a few more minutes because of this slow animation.

At times like this, the patience that they showed for so long always disappeared, and Jake knew exactly how the felt.

He couldn't wait for the doors to just open. His blood was boiling in anticipation to what was to happen.

Again, he never faced this challenge in person.

The guild that he was a part of was never in the front lines. So he never faced many a beast.

These beasts were nowhere to be found within the continents, and with the existence of the wall, they could never enter either one.

Also, only players were able to kill them. A feature that Jake never understood.

Seconds passed into minutes.

Jake was slowly tapping his pocket as he gripped a small coin that he held in his hand. A simple activity to pass the time.

His eyes were captivated by the beautiful scene that was presented in front of him.

It was the middle of the day, and yet, as he looked in the horizon through the gap of the walls, he could see a purple glow.

This was no ordinary glow. It was a glow that came from another light source.

And the reason? In the unknown lands, one was able to catch a glitch that was never actually corrected.

A glitch that gave the two continents their own suns.

Once the doors opened in the game in Jake's past life, there was a lot of rumor that it was a glitch, and Nova even accepted it. They just left the second there for effect.

The sun shined normally in the western continent. But for some reason, when someone was in the unknown lands, the purple haze appeared.

This added to the mysterious flare that the unknown lands had.

"Beautiful." Myriad Arrows muttered from behind Jake.

Jake smiled as he nodded.

"Sometimes, beauty can be deadly, And in this case, that is definitely the case." Jake reminded him.

"Yeah, I know. But why is it that everything happens in forests these days? There seems to be no other terrain in here. There's a lot of forests." Myriad Arrows grumbled.

"You should stop complaining." Jake sighed.

"A forest can be useful sometimes. Once you get used to the terrain, it is very easy to start running. Being able to evade attacks, that is a godsend for someone like you." Jake sighed and said.

"Right. Whatever." Myriad Arrows grumbled.

"Well then, Kierch. Are you ready?" Jake turned to his other side. His left.

The mercenary had his twin swords in his hands, each with a purple glow to show their epic grade, as he painted a smile on his face.

"Why do the doors take so long to open?" He asked, shaking his head.

"I've been waiting too long to go in. Because of the contract I signed with you, I couldn't even go with the guilds that asked me to go with them." He grunted.

"And if you went, you would only be disappointed. How much can a single person do in a group event?" Jake chuckled.

But inside, he was sweating.

He knew that Kierch was going to excel in what was to come. He knew that for a fact.

This was the stage where Kierch was going to make a name for himself. The mercenary. Singlehandedly carrying someone to almost the first checkpoint.

This time though, Jake had him on HIS side.

"Alright then. Looks like it finally opened. Time to start moving." Jake said as he raised his hand and looked left at the other guild masters.

They also locked eyes with him and nodded.

"NOW, WE MOVE FORWARD!!!!!"
