Is this really a Game?!

Reign and the others returned to the territory and were greeted by thunderous applause by the residents, since they all lived in the territory they would also get notified whenever the party did something, forming an alliance, getting another anchor point, killing a leader of another faction,  those were all things that the system would automatically send out a notification for.

It was also somewhat of a motivational thing that the system gave out, not only would the notification include what had happened, but it would also include who did it and at what time. A giant stone stele could be found in the center of the city and the residents could see the notable things that players in their territory had done.

Of course, right now there were only achievements of what Reign and the others had managed to do, in the future however there would be more things that were done by other parties as well. It was like a hall of fame of sorts that would allow everyone to know what had happened since the founding of the territory.

Reign and the other entered their building and talked a bit with the players that were incredibly excited about the whole thing, the orcs were no more and they wouldn't need to cower in fear of them in the town from now on. This not only increased the security inside the town but also allowed for the players to move more freely and hunt the weaker monsters that could be found inside it.

The thousands of goblins, hobgoblins, drafis, and other monsters that inhabited the town would soon become the main hunting targets for the strong teams. Each of them had leaders and eliminating them would make sure that that team got their names inscribed on the stone stele. Reign and the others had left those weaker monsters and the bosses for them, killing those guys would not even give them that much exp since they were far above them in level, and neither would they get any kind of rewards for it, on the other side for the players it would mean having a bunch of monsters that they could fight against and improve.

Not only would the players level up faster thanks to that, but they would also be able to get equipment after taking down stronger enemies and bosses. Right now only the strongest teams could potentially attack some of the lower-leveled bosses as they were usually hidden in their basses, surrounded by over a hundred monsters. Over time however it would change, different teams would form alliances and group together in order to take down bosses they were not confident of dealing with by themselves, of course, Reign and the others also took in the fact that there might be some bad apples that would try to prey on the teams after they had finished their battle and were exhausted.

Unfortunately, there was nothing they could truly do for that, there were only 7 of them including Greenie and their main focus was to grow stronger, there was still one more anchor point left and the giant ape that guarded it was probably something they wouldn't be able to deal with right now, not only did they need to level-up, but they also needed to take some time and train their skills and abilities, if they simply improved their levels then they would come to a point where they were either weaker or the same strength as normal monsters of their own level. It was easier for them and races such as the elves to increase their levels, but the monsters didn't need to practice their skills and abilities, the older and the stronger they became, the better they became at using them.

The system was fair and everyone had a chance, monsters were usually not very skilled when it came to using mana and their abilities as they simply relied on their instincts, but they also had higher stats compared to humans that were the same level as they were.

Upon finishing the talks with the players, Reign and the others gathered in the living room and took out the items they had gained. There were a couple of Rank B and Rank C items that they didn't really need so they simply returned them to the inventory while some were given to Greenie as the ogre was the only one that still wasn't fully equipped. He preferred not to have a lot of items, but in order to become stronger and stand beside Reign and the others, he knew that he had to change his way of thinking.

The three items were placed on the table in front of them, there were two pitch-black gauntlets that were made of a very hard type of metal, there was no aura that was being released by it and it looked simple and crude.

A black armor that had red lines coursing through it was next to it, the red lines coursing through it gave it a chaotic aura that Tank immediately recognized as it was similar to what he felt when he was attacked by Azar for the first time, the chaotic aura was similar to the skill that the boss used when he deformed his shield.

Lastly was the glaive, it looked similar to the one that Azar wielded, but the main difference was the blood-red blade, compared to Azar's glaive which had a normal-looking blade, this one exuded killing intent.

[ Rank A Black Iron Gauntlets ]

Def: 100

Endurance + 5

Vitality + 5

Description: Gauntlets that were created by a mixture of very hard metals, the end result was both a success and a failure as the blacksmith had hoped to create gauntlets that would be almost indestructible, but would also allow for the wielder to use mana in order to change their shape. The indestructible part was almost fulfilled as the gauntlets offered an incredible amount of defense and they were incredibly tough, but there was, unfortunately, no way to use mana and change their shape or strengthen them.

[ Rank A Armor of Minor Chaos ]

Def: 50

Strength + 5

Endurance + 3

Vitality + 3

Description: On a planet that was well known for its high number of blacksmiths, one became incredibly ambitious as he had once seen a powerful figure use chaos to vanquish his foes. The blacksmith became so obsessed with chaos energy that he made it his life resolution to create an armor that would hold such power as that was what he was best at creating. After numerous years he was finally able to get an audience with that powerful figure, even after more than 20 years had passed and the armorsmith had gotten old, the figure looked the same as he did when the old man had first seen him. After listening to his request the figure contemplated for a bit, he knew that showing something like that to this person would probably spell his doom, but the old man cared not for it, he was old and didn't have much left if he could again see the chaos energy then everything he had done for the past 2 decades would have been worthy. The figure agreed and went back to the old man's place, during the final part of creating the armor the figure used the chaos energy and the old man managed to infuse a tiny part of it in the armor, after finishing his creation he died. Even if the chaos energy that could be found in the armor is an insignificant portion, a wisp of the true power of chaos, the user may use it to increase the power of his attacks.

[ Rank A Desolation Glaive ]

Atk: 110

Strength + 6

Spirit + 3

Willpower + 3

Description: A glaive forged by the joint efforts of a crazed human and a demon. The demon sacrificed over 100 murderers and imbued their blood into the metal which was used for creating the blade. Whoever uses the glaive would have his mind corrupted each time he fought, only those with strong conviction and willpower stand a chance of conquering it. The longer the wielder battles, the stronger the glaive becomes and the fiercer the attacks become, if not careful, however, the wielder will lose his mind and keep slaughtering everything in his path before dying.

Reign and the others took a sharp breath after looking at the description of the items, each of them was incredible and they definitely belonged to the strongest items amongst their rank. The armor especially was something that they felt could even be the closest one to rank S.

Everyone that has ever read Chinese novels or seen some anime would know how powerful chaos is, in many games and fiction it would either be the thing from which everything was created, or the thing that corrupts everything in its way until it can destroy the world or universe.

To have something like that in the armor was incredible, to be honest, all of them looked at the armor with slight greed, even Reign who had a Rank A armor was slightly tempted by it before he shook his head. Only Greenie and Tank were unfazed, Greenie didn't like wearing armor on his body and he didn't care how powerful it is while Tank already had a rank A armor that was best suited for him.

"I think that Wolf deserves the armor, he's our muscle after all," Reign says as the others nod in agreement, even if they all liked the armor they knew that it was best for Wolf to have it, he was second to only Reign in the whole group, but even Reign couldn't match the destruction that the latter could create with his flames.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Wolf immediately said as he quickly grabbed the armor under the shocked gazes of the others, this was the first time that they had seen Wolf act so childishly and soon they all broke into laughter as Wolf simply looked down on the floor in slight embarrassment.
