Dining halls capable of feeding hundreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest zones with beds that provide enhanced mana and health recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also had social spaces that were designed for building camaraderie among guild members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guild contains everything...whether it's training, entertainment, or knowledge. I didn't expect it to be this good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth floor required special authorisation to access, it was Arthur's private domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his personal quarters that would serve as his residence when needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur had planned to make the highest floor his personal one, but it seemed like he didn't need to change anything. It was already taken into account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last floor was split into two sections, the first section was a large area exclusive to members that Arthur chose. It was the executive floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second section was his personal domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his personal domain, Arthur could see Caldera spread below him. The central plaza teemed with players drawn by the guild's grand opening. Word was spreading faster than wildfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the group of players standing outside, Arthur decided to head down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to make an impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He descended the marble staircase with measured steps, each footfall echoing through the vast reception hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive gates responded to his approach, swinging open silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him stood the first brave souls who had followed him through Caldera's winding streets. Curiosity and anticipation radiated from their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some clutched weapons nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome,\" Arthur called, his voice carrying across the plaza. \"To Power Guild headquarters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Level 12 warrior near the front stammered, \"You're... you're the guild master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's smile held secrets and promises. \"I am Azarel. And yes, this is my domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd shifted, their expressions changing as they processed what they were witnessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysterious figure with the terrifying spider companion wasn't just some high-level player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the player. The one who'd achieved the feat of having the first and only guild in Armageddon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The global announcement,\" whispered a mage in azure robes. \"First player guild recognition. That was you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a simple confirmation, but it sent ripples through the gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let them come to their own conclusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the initial group, more players approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word spread through Caldera's streets like wildfire. The Power Guild's leader was making a public appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of players filled the street, including enemies of Arthur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes locked with a familiar figure near the crowd's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden boy. The military's chosen champion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both recognised each other, not of identity, but of purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James saw a powerful guild master, and a future enemy. Meanwhile...Arthur saw a future corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn't know it's me. Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James lingered for several minutes, observing the spectacle with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, abruptly, James turned away, moving through the crowd toward Caldera's gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur's eyes followed that retreating figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your time will come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James hadn't personally tormented him—that honor belonged to Donald and his handlers. But naivety was a luxury Arthur couldn't afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The military's trump card. Their awakened weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the merge was completed, James would stand at the forefront of their response. Leading government forces against Arthur and everyone standing with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose his side. I chose mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur could have acted now. Sent some of his powerful summons to kill the man. But unnecessary violence at the moment wasn't needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patience. I waited for months in the slums, I can wait for a few more days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd's energy pulled Arthur back to immediate concerns. Hundreds of voices rose in excited chatter:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When do applications open?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are the requirements?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we see the benefits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur raised his hand, and silence rippled outward from his position. The authority in that simple gesture was astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand your enthusiasm,\" his voice carried across the plaza without strain. \"Power Guild appreciates your interest in joining our ranks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, proper recruitment requires proper preparation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The guild will officially begin accepting applications in twenty minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disappointed murmurs rose from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty minutes gives you time to consider seriously,\" Arthur continued. \"Membership isn't casual affiliation. It's a commitment to something greater than individual ambition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use this time wisely. When those doors open again, we'll be looking for more than levels and equipment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across upturned faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll be looking for character.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some players immediately began forming discussion groups. Others retreated to consider privately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur turned toward the guild headquarters, Formicia walking beside him, and the massive doors swung shut behind them, sealing out the noise and chaos of the plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the marble reception hall, Arthur sent Gates a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come over to the new guild location, I will be beginning recruitment. I need someone here to handle recruitment, there are quite a lot of people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gates responded immediately. \"I will be there in a minute. But, how many people are we talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A few hundred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood. I'll bring Old Oliver and Archie Brighthand as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes later, the massive doors swung open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three figures stepped through: Gates, Old Oliver with his B-rank defensive talent, and Archie Brighthand, whose youthful appearance belied his A-rank blacksmithing genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfie. One of the most talented individuals I've encountered in Armageddon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, the crowd surged forward like a breaking wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! The door's open!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are they accepting people now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are those guys?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors sealed shut with finality, cutting off pursuit and muffling disappointed protests. Several players had nearly made it inside before the doors closed in their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impressive security,\" Oliver observed, his gruff voice echoing in the vast space. \"Never seen anything like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Archie's eyes gleamed as he studied the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The building integration is flawless. Whoever designed this understood both elegance and function.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The new headquarters exceeded my expectations. It's much better than the previous headquarters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur gestured toward the central seating area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to discuss the recruitment protocols.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four men settled into position, with Formicia positioning herself nearby like a living guard post.\u003C\u002Fp>",999,"2026-06-06T12:00:36.157Z",1,"novelbin.me","32b5a50c0b9426703be6717343dfbd44d0fc295d49e1d929ffc002493774637e","online-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-chapter-315","online-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-chapter-313",601,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fonline-game-starting-with-sss-ranked-summons-cover.jpg"]
