Epoch: A Berserker's Rise

Chapter 200: Phase One

Once he returned to the Azure Sky Kingdom, more precisely to Ember City, Adam realized the night had already passed here.

He went for the nearby adventurer guild, one of the tallest buildings in the city, and climbed on top of it. Here, even the local Chairman of the Adventurer Guild was only a peak Gold Rank. Except from the Royal Family, whom he was friends with, no one could say anything to him.

So it was without a care that Adam was able to climb on top of the building to watch the sun set.

As he did, Adam felt at ease. Although he had that huge burden on his shoulders, everything was going fine. And he liked his current life much more than what it used to be.

Before Epoch, his life was boring and hard, working for scums who took advantage of him because of his situation, and even when he landed in some good jobs, it would remain boring.

Thinking about it, maybe he could have turned bad, he could have used the power he gained in the game to get his revenge, but he was graceful he didn't.

It had already been a month since Epoch was released, and many secrets had already been revealed. Cultivation was possible, power could be earned, and the rumors about Epoch being a real world were getting more and more famous.

Ordinary people gaining great power overnight was a bad thing in many ways, as they would use this power to resolve their conflicts, instead of using diplomacy, as they had been taught.

Because of this, many evil people who hide behind the law, like those who took advantage of Adam, were killed, or at least hurt very badly.

Of course, there were also the outlaws or terrorists who suddenly became more dangerous, but even then they didn't make any big ruckus. Others might think they were preparing something big, but Adam knew otherwise.

Even though many people were gaining power, the truly powerful of this world were the ancient clans who have 'gods', or more precisely Golden Idols among them. They were most probably the ones putting a stop to slaughters and massacres.

So right now, Earth was standing on a thin line like a tightrope walker. Below, was chaos, and yet somehow they hadn't fallen yet. But honestly, even if the world fell in chaos, Adam couldn't give a fuck about it.

For he knew that if worse came happen, the Golden Idols would reemerge. Actually, they didn't even have to hide anymore. In the past, they had to hide for the well being of society and let humans develop by themselves, but now that the Merge was nearing, they would have to appear on day or another.

But those were problems for Yang Adam. Yin was in Epoch, and he had his own problems, namely, Divine Predators. He first established his guild as a way to make some money, but now it had taken a whole new dynamic.

Those were his men and women, and he had to take care of them like any leader. And it wasn't just a burden, as he needed them. As strong as he was, he couldn't face the world on his own.

That's why, now that he had set the perfect foundation for his personal power, it was time to create a new foundation, but for his guild this time. Adam took out a parchment from the Blood Tower and looked at it.

[Epic Flying Vessel Plans]

Plans to construct Epic Grade Flying Vessels. Unable to see more because you do not possess any of the following professions: Master Engineer.

Although he hadn't found any Master Engineer, he had still made some research on the thing, and he now knew what it was about.

A Flying Vessel was one of the greatest weapons in Epoch. They had several uses too. First they could be used to transport troops. After all, as quick a teleportation array was, it wasn't convenient to move large amount of troops.

It needed a lot of energy, which costed a lot. For example, the battle of Neve Dorei which contributed to Adam's fame, where he fought legions of undead in elven territory. Back then, the City Governor had spent the entire city's assets to teleport so many soldiers over.

And even if one could afford the price of teleportation for thousands upon thousands of men, they also needed a beacon to work. But most battlefields between true powers had their space locked to stop teleportation.

For all those reasons, a Flying Vessel was very important just to move one's troops around. But only the lower ranked vessels were limited to this.

For the higher ranked Flying Vessels, they were literally flying fortresses. Energy Canons, Elemental Shields, Harpoons They could operate on land, in water or in the sky, they would remain as deadly. For the most powerful ones, the Legendary Ranked ones, even a Legend would be helpless in front of it.

And the Epic Rank was considered quite high, so the ships would be pretty powerful. However, for their might, one had to pay a huge cost. To build an Epic Rank Flying Vessel, even a Kingdom would bleed to produce a single one.

And Adam intended to build several of them, tens of them, enough to support his entire guild. He didn't know the exact resources he would need to build all of this, but it would definitely be consequent.

And that wasn't all. Adam also wanted to build his very own city, as he had the Superior City Building Permit, which would allow him to construct a land for his people, anywhere within the Coldlands Empire.

It was said to be very difficult to get one of these, but building the city itself was also a tedious work which would need many workers.

For now, Adam was working on a small settlement near Ember City, where his Guild Members were training, but that wouldn't last for long. When his guild expended, their needs would expend too, so other than finding the materials, he would also need to find the right place to settle

All in all, Adam had many things to worry about, but that didn't stress him. Instead, it pushed him to give his all, and gave his life a sense. He would grow stronger as he took care of his people he was definitely going to be a king someday.

As a smile appeared on his lips, and he stored the plans back in the Blood Tower, Adam suddenly received a notification. But unlike most notifications, this one didn't ask him whether he wanted it to open.

[Phase One of the Merge activated.]

[All sub dimensions will henceforth get access to the main dimension of Epoch.]

[You are also allowed to enter those sub dimensions, but beware, as some are ruled by beings with power similar to the gods. Only Gold Ranks and below may travel between the dimensions.]

Adam's eyes turned round, and a few words escaped his lips

"What the fuck?"
