There was a distinct *click* as the call ended. Uijae handed the phone back to Sayeong, grateful that he wasn’t the one making the big decisions. He recalled the faces of the guild leaders who had passionately made their cases earlier. Being from a small to medium-sized guild, they probably knew each other well, possibly even like family. Uijae couldn’t help but wonder what decision he would have made if it had been up to him.

‘I might have just destroyed everything before deciding...’

"You heard everything, right?"

Ivan was already grinning ear to ear. He kept nodding, fiddling with his fingers.

"Of-of course! We'll set the schedule on our side and contact you. Hahaha, this is a huge step forward. We've taken a great step toward a new world...!"

"Here."
