<h4>Chapter 232: The Creeping Shadows</h4>


    [Undead Disaster ~The Creeping Shadows]


    [The peace that the noble God of Games and his hardworking believers had fought so hard for did notst long. Mysterious shadows had once again appeared on the Prime Material ne—evil energies are infesting corpses, awakening the dead from their eternal slumber beneath the earth, with the culprit’s maniption and the dead’s instinctive hatred towards the living hence driving their vengeance against all living beings! Having witnessed the threat that the dead poses towards the innocent, thepassionate God of Games now sends forth his decree in his reluctance to see the living being painted in ash—in hopes that his courageous believers would triumph over the sphemous enemy who toys with the souls of the perished and restore light upon the world!]


    [Event period: TBA on event posts in yer Forums]


    [Event location: Night of the Vengeful Dead, Zombie Dragon ying]


    [Event objective: yers could choose one or both battlegrounds. In the active period of the event, yers are afforded 1 instant revive (10% EXP will be deducted from current level). Resurrection Coins are still in effect during the event, each of which could be drawn from Personal Prize Pool or Global Prize Pool.]

    [Zombie Dragon ying: Either search and destroy or defend a stronghold in order to stop the onught of the Zombie Dragon heading towards Tunaya. It is the yers’ victory if the Zombie Dragon is defeated before it enters Tunaya, and a failure if it sessfully invades the city. After the battle concludes, yers participating would be rewarded ording to individual contribution (click here for more details regarding rewards).]


    [Personal Prize Pool: yers may draw once from the Personal Prize Pool by paying 100 RIP points. Number of draws is infinite and there are 500 rewards in each Personal Prize Pool, the grand prizes being ‘Global Pool Lottery Ticket’, ‘Item Strengthening Rate Up Ticket’ and ‘Resurrection Coins’ (Resurrection Coins would automatically be converted to Resurrection Ankh after event), and yers could reset Personal Prize Pool after iming the three grand prizes.]

    [Note: I sense the approaching evil. Believers of mine, send those minions of darkness back to hell! —The God of Games]


    The new announcement utterly ignited the yers’ dormant passion, allowing them to regain their excitement after having their spirits slightly dampened by Nightcry’s vileness.


    In fact, after the yers had seen the list of rewards offered in the Personal Prize Pool, all of them promptly teleported to Tunaya from different ces, dropping whatever daily quests they were doing. Anyone else would have presumed from their looks of teeth-gritting resolve that they were Tunaya locals who would put their lives on their line for their city—leaving even the wood elves of Trinia dumbstruck...

    Other yers who for whatever reason were unable to return for the time being—such as Zonyan’s party who was farming good reputation with the Long-Ears—werementing about bad timing, unable to hold back the thought of killing themselves so that they could return to town.


    Besides, yers who had fallen in the battle against Nightcry certainly didn’t hesitate to use their daily single auto-revival to join in the wild rejoicing of the other yers.


    Hence, in just a dozen minutes, the citizens of Tunaya had the distinct sense that there were suddenly a bunch of people who had a different air about them in the city with them.


    The Brilliant White Church and the Temple of Glory were the major religions here and as such could hardly deceive their believers when something happened. With the other churches aiding in repelling the undead onught after receiving news, most citizens of Tunaya were already aware that powerful monsters wereing—monsters that neither the Brilliant White Church nor the Temple of Glory could win against.


    Fear and anxiety shrouded all of Tunaya, driving the oppressiveness in the town’s atmosphere to its very limit.


    And yet, it was under such circumstances that these weird people had arrived out of nowhere, all of them overflowing with mysterious enthusiasm and with ‘I have no idea where I am or why the enemy ising here, but I’m going to split their heads here—an ally’s head as well, if there is the chance!’ written all over their faces.


    If they weren’t actually few in numbers at just a little over two hundred (not counting yers who couldn’t make it in time or newbies uninterested or not quite knowing what an Event is), the backdrop of the city would have been altered entirely.


    It was truly weird when one thought about it—the yers were merely preparing for the Event, and yet it was now more bustling here than feast or festivals.


    Perhaps Events were festivals in the truest sense in the yers’ perspectives.


    “Ooooh! This style of rewarding is really too interesting! As expected of the God of Games—there is a surprise every time!” Joe was eximing excitedly and tapping hisrge pectoral muscles after Edward patiently exined to him about the Event’s mechanics. “Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry off to Sotimi to farm some undead!”


    Edward shook his head, having carefully studied the mechanics.


    “We’re waiting for Gou Dan to be revived... even if it looks like the rewards are given on a firste first-served basis, even if yers farming Night of the Vengeful Dead could draw from the prize pool early on, that’s not what it actually is all about. The undead in Sotimi are summed up with points, and the list of rewards follows the rule that ‘killing powerful undead earns more points’. In fact, killing a hundred human zombies might not earn as many points as killing a zombie ork.”


    In response, Joe immediately opened the list of rewards that corresponded to the RIP points earned. He stared at the chunks of text and pulled a long face, acting as if he understood while nodding pensively.


    “Powerful undead would be hiding deeper in the enemy’s ranks. Therefore, the first ones that would be fighting are those that yield the lowers RIP points, and it’s just not worth spending any time on them!” Edward disregarded whether Joe got the idea, and continued as if he was tidying his own thoughts. “But the Zombie Dragon is different! Its totally HP is fixed—so, shaving off one percent from its HP means that the others would have one percent less contribution! And by the same principle, we would earn less if others hit it more, not to mention that the rewards list make it clearly that fighting the Zombie Dragon pays more than fighting at Sotimi!”


    “As for the lottery, everyone would get the same rewards from the Personal Prize Pool anyway, whereas anyone could know immediately that the Golden Global Prize Pool whiches after the other two prize pool has the best rewards! It’ll be fine even if we let the others have the Bronze and Silver Prize Pools before that!”


    At that, Edward had decided the strategy his party would follow. “That is why we are going to join the campaign against the Zombie Dragon, and then farm the Night of the Vengeful Dead if we still have the timeter on!”
