After Rachel's birthday, there were a few weeks before it was Seraphina's eighteenth birthday celebration. But I had pressing guild business that couldn't wait.
The plan with the Eastern continent expansion would have to be delayed. Instead, I needed to focus on a more immediate advancement—it was time for Ouroboros to officially become a Gold-rank guild.
There were not many Gold-rank guilds in the Slatemark Empire. Fifty, to be exact. Each one commanded significant political and economic influence, with access to resources and dungeons that Bronze and Silver-rank guilds could only dream of.
And now there was going to be fifty-one.
