Holy Moly!
They are fucking damn serious!
"We wouldn''t choose the leader of the 3 three regions. That was left for you to decide among yourself when you see where you belong." Renata continued, ignoring their stupefied gaze. At once, the map on the screen began to show the names of those sitting in the room on the map.
Sigh and gaps began to fill the room when they saw where they were positioned. Some had a brightened gaze with a satisfying smile on their face while others looked gloomy, the slight glow in their eyes disappeared. Their gaze became dark, they turned to Renata but saw the never smiling face. They swallow whatever bitterness they have in their mind.
"Don''t try to question how this was done. It was done fair and square. Every district had its merits. So use it very well." Mora assured.
"Now, thest part and the most important part of the meeting..." Renata''s voice dropped an octave. She stood elegantly and let her seat walk behind those people seating. Everywhere was quiet, a yful mix of fruits and florals filled the nostrils of the people but they dare not breathe in too much. Most of them were male where the female had her eyes wandering on both sides, brow twists and their lips curled up a bit and pupils dted with jealousy.
Every time the sound of a hill reverberated and the smell of jasmine osted a person''s nose, their heart would be at their mouth, their lungs would constrict, their throat would dry and a bead of sweat would drop from their forehead. What a devil!? They thought.
Meanwhile, Renata wasughing hysterically in her mind. The facade she stered on her face was taking all her will to control. Her behavior was suggested by the almighty Zeus, which she strictly followed. The couple of days she worked in CommandIntel, she learned a couple of things. And one of them was never to doubt whatever the cold monotone voice said.
"Now, I will introduce God''s Coin." Renata''s overbearing voice echoed after what looked like forever. Hearing this, the people were shocked but Renata''s voice gave them no room to argue. The voice came like an imperial order.
The projection changes disying the God''s App and the God''s Coin. The coin only has the G and the three star-light. "Every transaction will be done in God''s coin as from this moment onward. If you don''t have the App. Go get it now. Everything in Vulture will use God''s Coin. You can convert your origin coin to God''s coin and vice versa. However, this is where everything changes. The conversion rate for each region differs. You all use God''s Coin but the value differs based on your region''s economic value…" Renata paused standing beside her chair. Her eagle''s gaze makes all those people avoid her.
After a couple of seconds, Renata continued to announce the changes and with each change made the heart of the people pound like never before. At the end of the announcement, all the drinks on the table had been gulped down furiously, leaving an empty bottle. Vulture, who was part of the organization, could not but shiver when he heard all those overbearing changes. He had been in control of Vulture for over ten years but he had never thought of such a way to control Vulture.
Now, he understood, he had no hope of escaping his envement until he was released. He felt bad for a couple of seconds, however, when he thought about the others. He thanks heaven for keeping him alive. ve, that would do.
At the end of the meeting, all the mafias and heads of organizations both big and small walked out lifelessly. Though the changes were almost favorable to everyone. Nevertheless, the thought of being watched and the feeling of being above thew, deciding the life and death of others was too satisfying to let go of.
Now, a load of responsibility was thrown over to them. If they reject the responsibility, they would be thrown out of Vulture with nothing. I mean nothing. Every goddamn thing would be confiscated. All their life''s work would go into smoke. What can they… but surrender to this overbearing power?
Unknown to the people, this is where everything changes.

Emma in the lotus position was oblivious of the flow of time. He was so concentrated that one day he wouldn''t move a finger. He rigorously studied rune creation from one chapter to others. Sometimes, he would murmur, his eyshes would tremble, he would squint his brow, then return to normal. This kind of urrence repeats many times but he never wakes up from this state.
Hmm!
"So that''s it," Emma murmured and opened his eyes slowly. He looked at the book in his hand and smiled lightly. His eyes were glowing brightly, his thinking capacity had increased exponentially. He clenched his fist and looked at the enormous screen with a burning passion.
>>Ding*
[You have unlocked another knowledge stat.]
[Rune Mastery: Half-step Novice]
>>Ding*
[WIS: 7 (+1)]
[INT: 8 (+1)]
[Mental Power: 0.2 (+0.1)] (Capacity:300 centimeter)
>>keep up the good work.
Seeing the notification, Emma was not surprised. He could visibly witness the changes in his thinking capacity. And if the system did not increase his stats. Then he didn''t know what requirement for his stats would need to increase. He ignored the stats and prepared to stand up. Suddenly, all his muscles constricted, his bones cringe, making a cracking sound.
Immediately, Emma returned to his previous position. His ribs and stomach hurt so much that he had to gnash his teeth. Every inch of his muscle was sore, stiff, and cramping. Grinding his teeth, "Zeus, how long?"
[[9 days]]
What!
Emma widened his eyes. He looked at his body for a couple of seconds and shook his head. Now, he understood while his body was reacting like this. Wincing, the skin bunching around his eyes as he stood up. He was uncontrobly trembling with his muscle tightening. He panted for a couple of seconds, taking arge gulp of air.
"Why didn''t I feel all this pain when I''m studying?" He murmured.
>>Simple. Mental Power. Those are the advantages of creating mental space. It allows you to meditate and facilitates yourprehension by a lot. However, you stay too long. And your body can''t withstand it.
"Huh" That was the only sound that came from Emma''s mouth whilst he left with shaky legs.
