Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 56: MVP
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the guildmaster of Jumping Nucleons, InkFlashback broke the first sacred record together with a native of Aquaflow and his guild members at a time of thirty minutes and seven seconds.

This was almost ten minutes faster than the records made by the natives!

This was a record that natives would not be able to break without the help of any players.

When InkFlashback came out of the Tower of Trials, a large crowd was awaiting eagerly with applause and flowers for the ‘historical feat’.

Of course, these people weren’t players but the soldiers and some ministers from Aquaflow.

The players outside the Tower of Trials had already gotten used to how the Jumping Nucleons guild broke the sacred records with an NPC. Perhaps they would have cheered the first time they saw it happening, but it had already happened so many times that they didn’t even think it was worthy of note anymore.

“Great sacred soul, the world shall remember your strength,” a minister started praising the players as they saw the record of thirty minutes and seven seconds.

“Oh. Where’s the reward?”

InkFlashback didn’t really pay any heed to them, reaching out towards the minister, while the latter got the idea and took out a large bag that contained 1500 magical stones.

When InkFlashback touched the bag, a message appeared asking how he wanted to distribute the magical stones.

Magical stones weren’t tradable items and could only be used to buy items at the Faerie Merchant’s stall. Upon receiving the reward, InkFlashback gave all of them to FluffyRabbit.

In the past few days, all of their members had already obtained the skins that they wanted instead of FluffyRabbit who was still three off. This time they went into the dungeon was purely for the sake of getting new clothes for FluffyRabbit.

“Great sacred soul, may I ask why you collect these magical stones?” That minister saw that the party was about to leave, so he quickly asked.

“A hidden quest? No…” InkFlashback glanced at Prince Segman who was still talking to FluffyRabbit. He was the only native in the team, and in the time they were in the dungeon InkFlashback had a hard time seeing him as a mere NPC.

The NPCs in Sacred Souls all gave InkFlashback the impression that they were all real humans, and this made him accustomed to their high intelligence and insane amount of preset dialogues.

“To get new clothes. If you want more information you can ask that faerie over there. This record would probably be maintained for quite a while, so we won’t be accepting anymore requests for the first level. As for the second…”

Before InkFlashback could finish his sentence, the first ranking on the Stone Slab of Honor was broken!

‘Congratulations to the Abyssal Shrine guild: Zanshin, Eyeless, EggFriedRice, Dishcloth, SwimmingPolice, NoSlippedDisc have broken the record with a speed of twenty-eight minutes and thirty-two seconds!’

InkFlashback’s brows furrowed, and his nonchalant expression froze in place.

Those ministers that thought that the sacred record was in Aquaflow’s grasp started panicking, looking at InkFlashback and back at the entrance of the Tower of Trials.

“Old Song! Sorry for breaking your records again!”

The elemental mage Zanshin walked out of the entrance, and InkFlashback wasn’t really surprised. The Jumping Nucleons and the Abyssal Shrine guilds have been competing for a long time, and both guilds have developed a sort of strange rivalry.

“It’s alright, we already have enough magical stones and are going to challenge the second floor.” InkFlashback was quite calm about having their record broken, because he knew that the greatest use for breaking the records in the first place was to get magical stones from NPCs.

They already had enough magical stones, so there was no need to squabble further with the Abyssal Shrine guild on the first floor. This record didn’t even have a global notification after all.

Such an insignificant dungeon record wasn’t worth ‘waging war’ with Abyssal Shrine.

“Ah, we’re going to do that tomorrow, but we can refresh the records of the first floor by about one minute today…” ZanShin walked towards the ministers of Aquaflow, not even hiding their intent on stealing their business.

The ministers were quite troubled by this turn of events, but the sacred records had been overtaken by the players quite a while ago. If they didn’t seek help from them, Darkfire and Sunshine would do the same too.

“Guildmaster, are you sure we shouldn’t try again?” The Cannoneer IonPlasma asked with a frown.

“It’s pointless anyway. The players know of these records are too little, and it won’t be able to help our guild out.”

“Guilmaster! The official page of Sacred Souls was updated!” Another party member shouted.

“What?”

Hearing so, InkFlashback quickly opened the browser tool and opened the official page.

The official page was still minimalistic and tidy, with only a login button and the gacha button for the activation qualification.

Every time InkFlashback saw this page, he would be dubious about what the official team of Sacred Souls wanted to do.

With the popularity of the game currently, every game company would be thinking about how to haul a fortune, how to promote their game, and how to sell activation codes at a high price.

InkFlashback believed that people would even spend hundreds of thousands to buy an activation code for this game.

Not only were there no promotional activities on the official page, but the website itself was also abnormally simple. There were no screenshots of the game, neither were there trailers on the site, as if it were saying, “If you got the activation qualification good for you, if you didn’t that sucks I guess.”

On such a website, a new option appeared that was called [Sacred Records].

Sacred Records? Wasn’t that just a name that the NPCs called the dungeon clear records?

InkFlashback clicked in and all the names of the dungeons in the game popped out in front of him. Without much thought, InkFlashback clicked into the one that said [Tower of Trials-First Floor].

The first thing that InkFlashback saw on the new page were the words ‘Sacred Record Keeper: Abyssal Shrine Guild’, along with a list of player IDs.

If it were just these words, it was nothing much, but the officials had attached a video below the names with the title ‘MVP’.

InkFlashback clicked open the video and realized that it was the YouRabbit player, meaning that the officials had uploaded this video onto YouRabbit too with the account ‘Sacred Souls Official Team’.

This video was exactly the footage of Abyssal Shrine defeating the first floor.

The random watcher wouldn’t have the patience to watch the entire twenty-eight minutes, so the video was edited to maintain the most flashy and remarkable parts with movie-grade editing and camerawork.
