[ The skills "Compact Punch" and "Lightning Bullet" have evolved to a higher rank ]

Compact Punch – As the player's proficiency with the skill had increased he will no longer need to stand in place while charging the skill

Lightning Bullet – The player can now fire up to three lightning bullets in quick succession with a small penalty to the accuracy

Reign and Shadow were panting heavily as they were sitting down on the ground of the forest. The demons that came through the portal were all annihilated, their bodies littering the clearing in the forest as blood was flowing through it. Pieces of their bodies and bones could be seen everywhere as well.

Reign and Shadow were covered in blood, wounds could also be seen on their bodies, the wounds however were light and they would heal after a day at most. They had spent a huge amount of mana during the fight and they really needed to rest, but first, they needed to go back to the castle and meet up with the others.

Leveling up so many times was not something they expected, one could say they were lucky that they were only level 31 at the start of the invasion as a notification came after the fight.

[ The players will not receive any exp from enemies that are 10 levels below them. ]

So far they had only fought against monsters that were close to them in level or higher, this was actually the first time they had gone out of their way to kill lower-leveled enemies and that's how they learned this, it was to be expected however because if players could simply go and kill a bunch of low leveled enemies they could easily level up without ever encountering any difficulties.

Ding!

[ World announcement! ]

[ Congratulations to all the players who have successfully finished an event, thanks to your overwhelming success in clearing the events the system has decided to implement a new rule ]

[ Monsters that are 5 levels lower than a player will now only give 50% exp ]

"This really does seem like a game, what the hell is up with the balancing though?" Shadow chuckles as he asks Reign who smiles at his comment, the things that are happening with all these announcements really do seem similar to how game developers would change their games to make them more balanced.

"I guess we're stronger than the system expected?" Reign shrugs his shoulders before he and Shadow continue towards the castle.

Upon arriving at the castle they were able to see Wolf and the others there, they had, of course, cleared out the demons at their side and now everyone was ready to rest up, the battles had really taken a toll on everybody and they wanted to do nothing else today than rest up.

Before the players could go however Reign made sure to get their attention, he had still not forgotten about Adam and the other talented players that he and the others wanted to train. Upon pointing at them and telling them their plan the players were ecstatic, to actually train together with Reign and the others was a dream come true for most of them.

Of course, there were some that actually said no, a couple of solo players who seemed quite uncomfortable with the idea decided not to take Reign's offer, while some of them asked if they could just come to train from time to time and not live there.

Some players that belonged in squads were also a bit skeptical, they have been fighting in their squads for quite some time and they didn't want to leave them, of course after hearing that they didn't in fact need to leave their squads and that they could also simply come to train from time to time they decided to accept the offer.

In total there were 16 players that decided to train with Reign and the others, of those 16 only 6 were not going to live in the building and would come to train from time to time while the remaining 10 of them were going to be there.

With that sorted out Reign and the others made their way through the teleport, they needed to show the players around the building, after all during the time since they have started living in the building Reign and the others changed some things.

The building had 5 floors and each of the floors was massive, the party usually stayed on the first floor as it was easier than to go up the stairs each time. Of course since they had decided to do this they have all transferred their things on the highest floor and taken the rooms there. There was a lot of space around the building as well, if Reign wanted to he could also use some S Coins to extend the building or to even build some new floors.

For now there was no need for it, the building was large enough to house over 100 players easily, Reign and the others planned to make each floor different in the future, the better the players are the higher they would stay, like a ranking that would make the players try their best to improve.

They had of course already made a training room and many faculties that can be used by the players, it wasn't cheap but it was something that Reign and the others really think was needed as it would make the players a bit more comfortable when staying there.

Reign and the others quickly made their way to the building, the players all scattered as only 10 of them followed after them. Upon entering the building Adam and the others were all surprised to see that the inside of the building was quiet, well, normal, there was no expensive furniture and items decorating the first floor.

"Decoration, why would we need it, right now there are more important things to focus on, spending money on something like that is just dumb at this moment." Reign shrugs his shoulders after hearing the players behind him.
