Currently happening at the Soaring Dragon Corporation.
Choi Sangun is leisurely drinking his tea in his office.
"Chairman! Chairman! Something happened!"
Choi Sangun almost choked as he rebuked: "Don't barge in suddenly! Do you want me to die as I get choked from my tea?!"
"Chairman! Your death is not important right now, there's some-"
Choi Sangun smacks his subordinate's head as he rebukes: "What do you mean not important?! Want to get fired?!"
"That... that wasn't what I mean chairman, I..."
Choi Sangun: "What is it?"
"Well... there's something wrong with the system's main operation is suffering some sort of attack but our technical team and security system couldn't detect any traces of it."
Choi Sangun frowns: "Elaborate it."
"That... there's some codes and programs that are continuously getting added towards our main computer's files, all of it are getting encrypted towards the main operating system."
Choi Sangun: "Which pieces are affected and what kind of damages are being detected?"
"That... there were no damages... instead, it seems that our system has been increasing in potentials such as A.I's data that we just jumbled started making progress in a drastic measure!"
Choi Sangun became speechless as he looks at his subordinates waiting for his following words.
"Well, that much should be okay, but there's something extremely alarming too."
Choi Sangun: "What is it?"
"That... The pain level is also increasing. By our estimation, in just about a year, the pain that a player will receive inside the game would be too realistic!"
Choi Sangung didn't even hesitate: "Order emergency maintenance and notify the public that they need to be logged out immediately."
"That... Yes!"
The subordinate replies and immediately rush out.
Choi Sangun looks at the sky outside: "No matter if it's beneficial or not, dealing pain to a player inside my game will not be tolerable!"
But just as Choi Sangun spoke those words, the subordinate came back.
"Chief! The... The System couldn't go under our control, we can't make any changes!"
Choi Sangun didn't even ask as he knew himself how capable his technical teams are and just ordered: "Order a press conference immediately, tell them that it's something they should immediately be made to the public!"
"Yes."
The subordinate left while Choi Sangun slammed his old fist towards his table, anger was immediately released: "I need to calm down to make the proper judgment of this."

Back inside the game.
With the recent turn of events, Lu Fan decided to make his way towards the potion shop of the guild hall.
Lu Fan: "I'd like to buy some health potions, pack about 100 of all the high-grade ones."
Salesperson: "Sure, just wait for a moment guild master."
Lu Fan was shocked quite greatly again; 'Are A.Is' suppose to communicate with players these greatly?'
Something is starting to feel a little fishy about things ever since he came to the last few pages of his story quest, it seems that the NPC's or A.Is' are getting the abilities to communicate now... or what should be called sentients.
But since the moderators of the games aren't saying anything about it, it must be a patch or some sort, making the game as realistic as possible.
Salesperson: "Here's your potion Guild Master."
Lu Fan: "Thanks."
Lu Fan would usually always say thanks whether he's buying from real life or ingame, it had become his manner, but what happened next was beyond his expectation.
Salesperson: "Guildmaster, I`ll be waiting for my promotion next okay?"
The NPC actually said those words and with a wink too.
Lu Fan felt shocked and couldn't help but nods: "Sure..."
Salesperson: "See yah guild master! Have a nice day!"
Lu Fan didn't even reply this time as he started walking faster.
Lu Fan actually has a lot to worry right now due to the game progressing extremely faster than he anticipated, and now, these new 'Updates' are adding to his concerns.
Lu Fan: "Heilong already unlocked his class' 3rd seal while I still haven't unlocked half of mine..."
Heilong, the Guild Master of the Black Dragon Armada guild is currently the strongest in the game, without Yuemin, or the game community calls Divine, it would definitely be a very hard fight for him, especially when Heilong's abilities are almost catching up to his.
"We're under attack!"
At this moment, a shout was heard, Lu Fan looks around and saw a few people approaching, he knew one of them and called out: "Tassle! What happened?"
Tassle heard Lu Fan and immediately came towards him: "Eternal, we're under attack by two guilds, we're currently surrounded!"
Hearing this, Lu Fan also prepared himself: "Everyone, go into position, we'll protect the Kingdom now!"
Lu Fan spoke to the guild, and all of them immediately replied with a yes.
Lu Fan: "Dartz, call my home and ask Yuemin to log into the game."
Dartz: "Yes!"
Lu Fan immediately entered the battle mode from the casual mode and rode his mount.
Lu Fan: "To the walls! All melee prepare to defend the gates!"
"Yes!!!"
The players howled in unison.
As soon as Lu Fan made his way to the walls, he found himself astounded.
Lu Fan: "It looks like you two had come to terms with something."
Lu Fan is looking at the four players standing in front of the main headquarters.
"Eternal, we're here to destroy your territory now, I hope you wouldn't mind the idea."
The one that spoke is none other than Heilong, the one behind him is Jiaolong.
"Apologies, but I will have to join this cause. All of the top guilds from the Justice Factions had joined together, if the Evil Factions where to be defeated, there might be an interesting patch afterwards."
This time, the one that spoke is Frost Queen from the Angels of Light, there is also a hidden bitterness in her eyes, behind her is the vice guild leader of the guild, Manchas.
The once very clingy lady actually turned extremely cold.
Lu Fan nods his head: "I have nothing against it, but I will stand by my friends and will try to stand as long as we can."
Lu Fan then looks around, the Soaring Falcon Kingdom is completely surrounded, it seemed that it's not only the Black Dragon Armada and the Angels of Light came, there are also about ten or more guilds all together.
*PM*
Wenwey: Eternal, are you guys getting attacked too?
Eternal: Yeah, about 12 or more guilds are here.
Wenwey: Then it's all for anyone's sake now, we are surrounded by ten guilds here, but I think we'll lose the Aragon Empire today.
Eternal: I don't know if we can hold here too.
Wenwey: We only have the size of at least five guilds in the population of Aragon Empire, if we will first, I`ll send all of my guild members to aid your cause.
Eternal: I will do the same.
Wenwey: Goodluck to the both of us.
Eternal: Goodluck.
*PM*
Top: Eternal, you guys getting surrounded too?
Eternal: Yep.
Top: Goodluck, let's just send our men to other's aid if our territory collapse, the Dark Rock Mountain Kingdom wouldn't last long, but if we lose our territory, I`ll send my men to the Aragon Empire first, since all of your men are pros, Wenwey would need much more of a help than you do.
Eternal: Yeah, I know, just hold on as long as you guys can.
Top: Yeah, goodluck to us.
Eternal: Yeah, goodluck.
Lu Fan ended their PMs and looked at the area around: "We need to hold out as long as we can, since they are too far from their territory, we can slash their numbers little by little! But before you die, be sure to kill more of them!"
Everyone: "YES!"
Lu Fan: "We are all veterans here, there are no weaklings too, all of us had honed our skills to the best of our abilities, we will definitely lose here!"
Everyone: "YES!"
Lu Fan: "But if ever we do, be sure to protect your levels and items, we will definitely have our revenge!"
Everyone: "YES!!!"
Heilong snorted: "Isn't it suppose to be us who's boosting our morales first? Oh well."
Heilong then looks at everyone: "We shall kill our way in! Black Dragon Armada!! CHARGE!"
Frost Queen: "Angels of Light! Today is judgment day! TO ARMS!"
"Mudalaks! CHARGE!"
"Shughang! Charge!"
All of them immediately charges forward. unlike Siege War, in normal territory war, those who dies will lose 50% of their experience points and a single item as they were sent back to their territory graveyard.
This fight can lead to immediate defeat if something extremely important goes wrong, why?
Population:
Soaring Falcon Kingdom: 3,194,822
Invading Enemy Forces: 12,944,024
The numbers are too disadvantageous.
"Fan'er, I`m here."
At this moment, Yuemin arrives.
Lu Fan nods: "Yes, I think we will definitely lose today."
Yuemin chuckles: "I think so too, but we should take down as many as we can. This is also a great opportunity to decrease their power and we can also take back territories afterward."
Lu Fan: "Yes, Let's kill Heilong first now."
Yuemin nods her head as she held Lu Fan's hand: "Yes, we will definitely do our best today!"
The two of them smiled at each other lovingly, sadly, this is a plan made by Yuemin too.
"YOU!!! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT IN FRONT OF ME!"
Frost Queen howls as she dashes forward with bow in her hand.
But at this moment, Heilong stops her: "Don't be too agitated, i tmust be their plan."
Hearing this, Frost Queen slowly calms down, she then looked at the towering walls and saw Yuemin making a weird face.
Yuemin is posing with two of her hands wide open as she placed it beside her head while hear tongue is out and one of her eyes closed.
Frost Queen wants to go into rage, but with the war currently going on, she tries to calm herself down as much as she can.
Heilong chuckles as he looks at Lu Fan: "This will be the start of your doom!"
Lu Fan also chuckles: "Or might be the rise of our Empire!"
The four of them returns to each of their posts preparing for a heated battle later again.
