Cosmic Ruler

As Jake and his horse set out on their journey, the landscape unfolded before them. Rolling hills, dense forests, and open plains presented potential locations for the structures needed to establish his village. The ambient sounds of nature accompanied their ride, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

As Jake was moving on suddenly a screen popped up in front of him, which asked him to join the Group communication, accepting the call , Jake find himself scolded.

"Jake, are you an idiot, we agreed to contact each other after creating our avatars, but what are you doing, huh?" Emily voice sounded from a Elf female with black hairs and Blue eyes.

"Emily is this your avatar?" Jake asked.

"Yes it's my second one" Emily responded.

"Mine is second too" Jimmy also said and his avatar is that of a Dragon , with obsidian horns on the side of his head. Red hairs and crimson pupils, constricted like those of lizards.

"Mine too" Mark said, his avatar that of Light Fey, with long golden hairs and Green eyes and Golden Wings, that symbolize the Light element.

"Mine is Second avatar too" Jake also said.

Others nodded and then Emily asked " What are you doing?" 

"I am searching for a suitable place to establish my village" Jake responded.

"You already got the Village quest!!" Jimmy exclaimed.

"Yes, do you guys didn't get it?" Jake asked

"No forget about ours, how did you get one so fast?" Mark said.

"I...I helped a elderly man and then he gave me one" Jake lied, understanding, to get a village quest one has to work harder but in his case thanks to Nexus he got one easily.

"You found a hidden piece, So Lucky" Emily said.

"Well Jake luck is best of all world just not us" Mark commented.

"Yes that's true" Others nodded.

"So what exactly have to do , to get Village quest?" Jake asked.

" To get a Village building request one has to complete Sis quests first, they are :-

1. Build Trust: Establish a positive reputation by aiding villagers with their tasks. Help them with resource gathering, defend against threats, and ensure their well-being. The more trust you gain, the more likely they will follow your lead.

2. Demonstrate Resourcefulness: Show your resource management skills. Acquire and manage resources efficiently to demonstrate your capability to sustain the village. 

3. Forge Alliances: Strengthen your position by forming alliances with other players or in-game factions. Collaborate on quests, share resources, and create a network of support.

4. Resolve Conflicts: Mediate disputes and address conflicts within the community. Your ability to maintain harmony will be a testament to your leadership skills.

5. Construct Symbolic Structures: Before the official quest, consider constructing symbolic structures that signify the growth and prosperity of the village. A grand gesture will inspire confidence in your leadership.

6. Seek Recommendations: Approach key NPCs, like Elder Alaric, for recommendations. If they vouch for your capabilities, it will expedite the process of receiving the Village quest." Emily explained.

"I guess I skipped directly to sixth one" Jake laughed and said.

"How about you guys help me instead of forming one yourself?" Jake asked.

"We were going to do that, we decided to race, who ever first gets the village building quest will be the Head and others will be Vice-Heads or other important roles , since you won, now you are the leader, send us Alliance request using that we will be able to teleport to you" Emily said.

'I won even with out knowing huh?' Jake thought and then send the request for alliance and then all o f them joined.

{Frost accepted the request}

{Aura accepted the request}

{Cool King accepted the request}

"This guy naming is really something else" Jake lips visibly twitched seeing the Jimmy naming sense.

{Frost, Aura and Cool king requested to teleport to you, do you accept

Yes

No }

Jake pressed yes and then others appeared in front of him.

"Wow, where you get that horse?" Jimmy or Cool king asked appearing near Steel Horse.

"I paid double to Stable guy and he then gave me this one" Jake said.

"Another hidden piece, Huh? Are you really playing it for the first time?" Mark asked.

"I tried to get best one by paying double but who thought I would get him" Jake shrugged as he patted Steel Horse.

"Why don't you permanently own it?" Emily said.

"Permanently ? How?" Jake asked.

"You just have to but it by paying double the amount you have paid and he will be yours" Emily said.

"Hmm, How about it, would like to follow me?" Jake asked the Horse and the Horse nodded.

"Very well then" jake nodded and then put he money in the puch of the horse and then the Pouch vanished leaving only a name plate.

"Shiroy, So that's your name, Welcome to Team Shiroy" Jake said after reading the name.

Neighhh

Shiroy happily responded.

Now I only have Two silver left" Jake sighed, everyone gets Five silver at start, Jake already spent 3 on Shiroy.

"Don't worry we will pool our money, after all we are in alliance you know" Jimmy said, patting Jake's back.

"Yes, I forgot" Jake smiled and responded.

"Okay let's go and find a suitable place to establish our village" Jake said.

"No, it will be better if We work up to Village building quest, doing so will help us acquire lots of villagers, You should just keep finding a location, while we gather Villagers, this way, we won't have to search for villagers after establishing our Village" Mark proposed.

"Yes that's a good idea , let's do that" Jake and others nodded and then all went on their ways.

After some time of searching, Jake was still not able to find a suitable Location, taking a look at the the time, he saw it's already Lunch time, so he logged out.

"Removing the Soul Gear 5 jake came out of the room to middle section, and saw others sitting there. .

"Were you able to locate a suitable location?" Emily asked

"NO, I wasn't able to" Jake shook his head and said.

"You should then go and challenge field bosses" Mark said.

"Field Boss?" Jake

"Yes, they are Bronze, grade, which is one minor rank above you, Silver grade-one major rank above you, Gold grade-One major and Two minor rank above you and lastly Platinum grade-a whole two major rank above you, by defeating them, one get a Village teleportation token, it will teleport you to a suitable location, perfect for establishing a Village" Mark explained.

"Cool, I will defeat one" Jake nodded and said.

As they were talking Alfred along with Maid brought their meals.

They temporarily set aside the talks of World's End and stated eating their meal.

After they finished their meal Alfred asked " How was the experience with Soul Gear 5?">

"It was great" Jake and others responded positively.

"It's good you all like it, So how is the progress?" Alfred nodded and asked.

"Jake got the village building quest, and we decided to forge alliance with him" Jimmy said.

Alfred eyes slightly widened, not expecting Jake to acquire the village building quest in just 3 hours of game play.

"You are quite good Master Jake" Alfred said.

"I just got lucky" Jake said and Alfred smiled thinking Jake is being humble.

"You must be then finding a location for the Village right?" Alfred said.

"Yes, I search a lot but didn't find any, so now I have decided to hunt some Field Boss" Jake nodded and said.

"Then, It will be better to hunt as much Field bosses you can in 24 hours, it's a hidden quest discovered accidentally, by doing this, all the tokens you have gathered in 24 hours will combine and get upgraded to next level" Alfred said.

"Really?" Jake and others asked.

"Yes, it's already proven, Five tokens of same kind gets upgraded to next one" Alfred said.

"Okay, we will do this, We will each hunt various Field bosses , as much as we can and then combine all those tokens, They will combine int one right Alfred?" Emily said and then asked Alfred.

"Yes, if you are all in a alliance then it will, though the number of Tokens will be doubled then" Alfred nodded and replied.

"It's better then nothing" mark said.

"Okay let's return and try to accumulate as much as we can" Jake said and others cheered.

"It's quite a good way to teach children" Tom said.

"yes, it was developed by a Sage, and now it is upgraded many times and added various other things, some even say, World's end hide the legacy of that Sage" Alfred said.

"Legacy of Sage, Many must have turned upside down the world of World's End for it, " Tom remarked.

"They had, but none was able to find it" Alfred nodded.

"maybe one of them might get it" tom said.

"It's impossible, Millions , Billions gathered together to locate it but they weren't able to , what made you think, Those Four will be able to ?" Alfred shook his head and asked.

"Because, they are not normal, tell me have you ever heard of prodigies who can defeat some one of two ranks above them?" Tom smiled and asked.

"No its not possible, Even Prodigy's can only fight One whole rank above them, Two whole rank is another thing" Alfred frowned and said.

"They had done it, although it was Goblin lord but it's still was Two whole rank above them" Tom said.

Alfred opened his mouth wide, He knows Goblin Lord is C rank Monster, and according to Tom they have defeated it, then Jake and others are surely monsters not just prodigies.

'Just what kind of people have you send to fetch? , My Lady' Alfred thought.
