The League Of The Order

 

 

 

"Good afternoon, Mr Tongq-"

"Shut your mouth before I blast it open." Yun Beishang's voice detained the widely grinning guard that spoke to him first as soon as he arrived a meter before them. Not slowing down in the slightest, Yun Beishang made his way towards the stall in the middle ahead of the road. At the moment he passed by the two guards at the end of the road, one of them wanted to raise his hand to attack Yun Beishang's head, he wanted to truly tear apart this cocky 'Journeyer' that the city lord suddenly placed top-importance on since some time ago already.

But, before he could move his lance to 'chick-chack' open Yun Beishang's head, his comrade guard stopped him by grabbing one of his wrist. When the guard that was about to attack Yun Beishang checked his comrade in confusion, he saw the other guard already sweating bullets and trembling slightly; through his entire body.

Then, looking up ahead after taking a look at his beyond-scared guard comrade, his heart stopped for 2 seconds.

"!" The sight of Yun Beishang staring backwards in that eerie dark-brownish full-suit, with his upper body twisting backwards and his neck tilted strongly; Yun Beishang's eyes looked like a pair of soulless globes of existence that threatened to pulverize his mental-well being.

"Aaa-a...a-a-..."

Step, step, step.

Then, as the now second beyond-scared guard began mumbling like a retard, Yun Beishang felt too bored to even have his eyes opened as he turned around and lowered his head to rest his eyes. His feet moving towards the same direction as before.

'What was that?! Did he-did he really planned to kill us here?! But, we are in the city! How-how-how, waaaah...' That was the guard thought before being pulled back to reality by his comrade guard, afterwards, they simply chatted with each other so as to put that unsettling feeling in their hearts down. And indeed, they managed to regulate their breaths and heartbeats back to normal, albeit a few hours later after having encountered Yun Beishang.

. . .

 

"Tongqiu?! What are you doing here..." A short, stout and thick-mustachioed middle-aged man spoke out loud towards Yun Beishang as soon as he got 'rid' of the guards behind him, he had already noticed him before but was acting a bit sweaty and fidgety, only daring to talk to Yun Beishang directly after he noticed the two guards stupidly distract themselves for some reason; and with something.

"Hm? Ah, do you know me?" Lifting his left eyebrow, Yun Beishang asked the stout man a simple question. The stout man, however, responded in nervousness after looking left and right and sticking his head out: "Of course, me and my friends are quite your admirers, you know?"

Seeing the appearance and stance of the stout man, Yun Beishang didn't need more than a second to associate him with the previous NPC that allowed him to have his bag upgraded to max it fully almost 'freely' before he went into that long date with his Little Zyv.

"Ah... so I see. Hm, tell me, do I also get a discount for an upgraded Association?" Hearing Yun Beishang's shameless words, the stout man smiled rigidly before shaking his head into a -fuck-'no'. To which Yun Beishang simply shook his shoulders and spoke once more towards the stout man: "How much for creating an Association then?"

The stout man didn't respond as he felt slightly troubled, Yun Beishang couldn't tell why as it didn't seem something that the city lord himself or herself could meddle with to scam 'Journeyers' even more, the system didn't allowed them to. However, after a few seconds of looking at the almost life-like mask on Yun Beishang's head that somehow mimicked that of a person's changes of their expressions, he inquired said after a sigh: "Do you... really want to create one here? I mean, it has nothing wrong, and all that but... You see, for as how Associations work. One can only work in th same territory from where they originally founded their own, that 'one' being 'Journeyers' of course. As you're the only one capable of creating such an organization, heh heh!"

"Ehem, as I was saying. If you wanted to take territory and develop it, you would naturally need a lot, you know what I mean? Being in the good grades of a city lord is the most essential. Money and resources can be pulled up over time but... the heart of a city lord, is venomous!" The stout man pulled a long and bad face as he retracted himself inside the stall that was seemingly attached to the ground, he then continued in a begrudging manner: "It is not only 'us'! You know? Many of our long-distance friends are also similarly in bad positions. We, from the older and honest generation, are being tightly monitored even years before you 'Journeyers' arrived. This isn't a laughing matter, Young Hero. Please, rethink about it, choose a better yet Sub-Division in which you have no bad blood with. I..."

The stout man suddenly stopped himself from speaking, even though there was nowhere, indeed no one as Yun Beishang could easily detect anyone; he still appeared deeply afraid even as the guards dozens of meters away were distracted at full. With the back of his left hand facing his mouth from its right side, he continued in an extremely hushed tone: "I'm afraid the city lord is already planning something! There is... so much movements, I'm afraid. Even the Main Kingdom's Regional Forces faction would be alarmed of the suspicious actions and moves within the Myriad Beasts Main Division; the city lords', whatever they're doing or planning on carrying out, it will be impactful to the entirety of the Bright Sunset Region I'm afraid."

"Besides... there are rumors, you know? Like that time where the Main Kingdom's Regional Forces moved towards the Azure Dragon's Sub-Division and were ambushed strangely powerfully against by unknown enemies... They never go away, you know? These rumors..."

Yun Beishang expressionlessly looked at the stout man speak oh so carefully and towards him at that, but at some point, he made a slight twitch with his mouth and tilted his head to the left before interrupting him: "Alright, man. I understand. Just live your life, I am in not need of critical help. I may not be able to restore my 'relationship' with the Azure Dragon's city lord but that doesn't meant every other city lord in the Bright Sunset Region would give me the cold shoulder, would they? For what I know, they're all lusting after each others' wives, daughters and... even sons. So, stop worrying so much; just tell the others that I thank them as well. Maybe when I come back from a que-adventure; I'll buy you all new houses. How about it?"

"Ahem..." After speaking 'for so much', Yun Beishang felt his mouth, throat and lungs dry as he then continued for the last time: "...now, can I please found, create and whatever other word can be used; my own Association? Please?"

"..." The stout man blinked a few times, made a side-glance towards the left once and then finally left out the breath in his lungs that has had been contained for so long and spoke: "Ugh, alright Young Hero. That'll be  10,000 Fam- oh wait, there is no need for that one. Just 1,000 gold coins and a Lordship Token will do!"

Passing over 1,000 gold coins and the Lordship Token that dear Miriam gave him, Yun Beishang then silently waited for the now with glasses stout man to start working on whatever he needed to work it with. As the stout man was looking down at some invisible desk, Yun Beishang didn't comment on it and simply waited like a good boy in front of the stall until the stout man finally spoke in confirmation once more.

"Alright, Mr Tongqiu. Your petition has finally been accepted, now..." The stout man said the word 'finally' with notorious mental exhaustion, which made Yun Beishang believe that this process took some unnecessary time for some reason, which also made him baffled as he really didn't think that so much 'trouble' would be coming from such a small matter. What in the fucking twat was going on with this petty city lord?

And at that moment, he received a system notification.

*PING*...host is creating an Association, please name and select the type of Association that you wish to create.

Yun Beishang eyes lowered, then brightened up as he lifted his head and spoke calmly, and casually.

"The Order. League."

*PING*...host's Association creation has been successful. This is host's first time creating an Association, congratulations!

*PING*...you are now the founder of the [League] of [The Order]. Please choose the hierarchy system, points system, distribution system and rank system within your Association and the way to address you (as it is a League, various titles can be chosen except for those already being used in the other types of Associations).

With a determined and already overly thought system in preparation; Yun Beishang first chose to pinpoint the exact way in which he decided to be called, his heart and his mouth either beating or smiling radiantly in mirth as he said: "Lord."

Previously, on the Leaderboards that Yun Beishang checked upon, there were many things that he could bring out from just checking them out. For an example, most players were LV85. At least when it came to the elite or pro players, that is. Especially those for people that Yun Beishang knew, and knew VERY well. Like Naty, Yao Yao, Zyv, Diana and even Sash. The rest of Yun Beishang's maids as well as Yona; were under the top 10 as they also played much later than even Yao Yao. Itnia was strangely second only to Yao Yao when it came to his maids' ranking in the Level Leaderboard. With this, a hundreds of millions of players had already reached LV85. LV85, not between LV80 to LV85. Unlike as to when the release of Rising Essence and its first update that brought forth 50 whole new levels. The second update of Rising Essence only brought 29 new levels. Add to that the fact that the next necessary level for the Second Class Advancement was of LV85, when the MAX level for the first update was LV80, truly lots of players were already close to LV80 already while most were still between LV70 to LV75 when the game got its second update.

Like this, there were more billions between LV78 to LV84 than in any other rank. One true reason of why this actually happened was due to the buying and use of the Encouraging Boost and Supreme Encouraging Boost potions. Indeed, those which were in the Fame Shop and only in the Fame Shop alone.

Even though Experience gain+15% wasn't much, it was for a whole week. In a whole week, players could form perfect parties of 7 that would grant them that extra bonus as well as receive even more greater Experience points thanks to the Encouraging Boost potion, which was 15,000 Fame points each. Even better, these weren't bounded to the player that bought them, their effects would also not be lost upon death and they could even stack upon one another!

Supreme Encouraging Boost gave an astounding Experience gain+500%! But only for two hours, yet, if one stacked both potions at the same time. The first one to effectuate regardless of the chronological use of the potions, would be the Supreme Encouraging Boost potion, then the simple and ordinary Encouraging Boost potion.

As Fame is-no, was, hard to come by. They sold around 30,000 gold coins. Double from that of its cost in Fame points. But once the shadow-like portals opened, their cost -in-between players- was reduced to 7,500 gold coins instead. Anyone could get one with just a few days of hardwork. Or better yet, forming a party and going into either a Private Dungeon, a simple Dungeon or a shadow-like portal to farm some money from equipment, items or straight up dropped gold coins; and then buying 3 of such Encouraging Boost potions for each of their 7-full man party members and then finally moving on to any zone of levelling. That was the way to go nowadays.

Naturally, there was no lack of money grubbers as there were lots of people going after 1 Star Elite mobs-no, BOSSes without a stop all around the shadow-like portal zones. The place was too big and too 'resourceful' -more like full of mobs to kill, innocent or not, as it never mattered-, so there was never an inflation of sorts; hence why the playerbase of Rising Essence could become more 'cooperative' and 'friendly' over time. Which made many other players believe that this was the way that their respected and venerated Mr Crestfallen, wanted it. Which also, made those nay-sayers of the Guiding Voices turn into liking and even 'apologizing' to them.

Talking about Guiding Voices, there were indeed many rumors going around, but nothing like before. This time, some players even dared to sickly -?- push their own Guiding Voices too much into a... weird... relationship and, uh... extraordinary success of events... yep.

But there was not to worry much of it yet. One thing that Yun Beishang made sure of, was that each of his maids weren't plagued by any of those annoying, disgusting Guiding Voices. For as cute and adorable as they seemed now, Yun Beishang gave no damn fucks 'bout it.

Also, there was the Class Leaderboard. In it, Yun Beishang was happy to see so many of his darlings, working so hard to be so good at the game and have fun with each other as they play together. Alright, though it seemed all pink and butterflies, Yun Beishang felt like his promise to 'carry them to MAX level' was now utter garbage. That left some bad resentment in his heart, and tongue.

On the other hand, the skill of each player... actually seemed to improve, rather abundantly. Before, there were endless Experts all around, thinking they were the big ol' vanguard of the elite and pro playerbase of the game. But then, as a few simple months went by, the either were slowly overtaken or slowly drowned in the massive competition for becoming better by the rest of the players.

Indeed, as soon as those shadow-like portals appeared, the entirety of the playerbase of Rising Essence began to raise themselves up! Though still petty and incredulously unreasonable at times, players behaved much more cooperatively as well as immersed in not only their own progressions but, that of the game's!

Be it Lore, be it the innocent NPCs or the waifus, husbandos and whatnot. As long as the system didn't brought them back to have a talk with a cold, solitary and hopeless prison room; they'd do anything... 'nice'.

And though there wasn't much change with the top 10 at the Hidden Classes' Leaderboards, one or two more appeared under them. It was always changing, but even if it was done so in an extremely slowly way... it also seemed to be rather consistent on its own pattern. But oh well, what the hell, that wasn't something for Yun Beishang to care.

And indeed, because as of right now; Yun Beishang was moving towards the Living Room after having gone down the stairs. He wore shorts bermuda while going commando, as always, and a long-sleeved shirt; as always too. Also, he was wearing some comfy and noiseless slippers, all was good.

Arriving at the Living Room, Yun Beishang saw a pair of exhausted maids, once again just like that time before. Grinning and without saying anything, the old devil bastard neared the two unaware little prey as they heaved up and down slightly heavily.

"Huuff, it's so tiring~! Even after all this training, doing such work for Master is unexpectedly so tiring~~!"

"Aiyo, indeed. If only-oh! Ah! Master!" One of the maids was also speaking tiresomely but with a pair of hazy, moistened eyes as she arched her back backwards. Only to have met her Master's eyes looking down at her from over the 3-seater sofa with only 3 inches separating their two faces.

"Eh? Is he-oh! Hello, Master! We... ah, we didn't- eh? Mmpgh!" The other little maid was startled silly as she even parted her legs with a jolt before looking towards her friend and her Master being so intimately, and warm, close towards each other. An expectant 'something' that she couldn't tell, what growing on her; an even a warmth invaded her opened legs. However, as soon as she turned her head to look at her friend and her Master, Yun Beishang acted swiftly as he dashed towards her and quickly captured her neck; brought her little chin up with a pincer with his right index and middle finger before finally kissing the maid's meaty lips into a pair of luscious and bright-red pair of lips instead.

"Mpwlah-Ehh-mnhaaa, haaah... Master?! Ah, ah, ah. Master, no we-we shouldn't do... this..." As the maid wanted to wake up from her deary dream, she found her labia being softly played with by her Master's left hand's fingers. She wanted to stop him for as, she didn't think they should be doing this but... his caressing, his teasing and his lips... how... could she... say no?

"Mmhaghh, just... a little, okay?" Yun Beishang spoke with a playful, magnetic and overall; hungry- voice.

"Mahhh, just.. a little?"

"Mnhm."

"Oh-... O-okay..."

Without waiting for even half an instant, Yun Beishang's hands moved as if snakes, all around the young maid's body and entered through her clothes to violate her as she entangled her arms around his neck and her legs around his ribs to let a large amount of space for her Master to reach.

Meanwhile, the other maid that felt completely left out was softly nibbling on the back of her middle finger as she then suddenly felt her right foot be teased by the fingers of someone who she did not even notice were close to her body.

"Gasp-" But, before she could even say anything at all, Yun Beishang gave her a side glance. And that was enough, the left out maid rapidly fell into his charm and began undressing herself furtively, seconds later, she was totally naked and rubbing herself on Yun Beishang's right hand that was now focused on her. While the little maid on his torso began to move her slender fingers as hungrily as she possible could to direct his Tyrannic Dragon to enter her unripened maidenhood.
