After dematerializing due to Mumei's skill, I eventually noticed my sense of sight returning to me alongside the bombardment of notifications. Reading each notification, it seems we had indeed finished the third event as well as the sub-event inside the Reaper's Castle. Glancing around I realize I am standing in front of the Portal to the Abyss, with Rebecca, Nina, Sylvia, David, and Frank next to me.

Rebecca and Nina were busy looking at the notifications, while Sylvia, David, and Frank started to approach us in worry. After a casual conversation with them, I was able to relieve them of any worry and asked them to wait on the side as I checked the Portal for any information. Reaching my hand out to touch it, I sigh in disappointment. I thought this was going to happen, but I still tried to believe there would still be a way.

[The ownership of this Portal no longer belongs to you. You can not access it.]

"I'm pretty sure it is due to the event being over, otherwise there would be a very easy way to reach the Reaper's Castle from all around the continent. It wouldn't make sense for us to be able to access a Portal like this afterward. I'm sure the correct method now is to force our way toward the Reaper's Castle by land." - Nina

"I know… I just wanted to see if it was true or not. Regardless, we should head back to the Krepost. If we leave now, we should make it back by the time before the game period ends for the night." - Ian

"We should hurry in my opinion. It has been a long time since we started the game. So many things happened to all of us, and the moment we return I'm sure there will be an onslaught of information we have to crawl through." - Rebecca

"Ugh… You're right, Rebecca. With the Third Event over, there will be so much talk about the next patch as well as the next step in the main events. With the Reaper doing so much, I'm sure the next event won't be any more generous. Plus, I feel like with the introduction of players finally meeting more players, there will either be a lot of tension between us or there will be a lot of open cooperation between the players." - Nina

"There are a lot of theories you can suggest and speculate, Nina, but right now I say you give your little brain a chance to relax. You have done rough thinking. Babe, let's start moving too." - Ian

Giving Nina a small head pat, I turn to Rebecca who gladly wraps her arms around my other arm. Seeing Nina accept the head pat, I chuckle a bit before calling out to the others to leave. It didn't take us too long before we arrived at the Krepost, but by the time we were there, the sun had already risen over the horizon. Welcomed by the cheers of our fellow villagers, we held a short celebration as laughter and chatter filled the air.

I notice that Kingston and Celine weren't here and after mentioning this to Gibing and Yor, I was told that they have been missing since Rebecca and the others went to the Portal. Apparently, Celine was last seen rushing off to the Emerald Plains with Kingston right behind her, and I can only assume it was too tame stronger monsters after the unfortunate accident with Selino and her previous tame. However, the monsters are being looked after diligently, even without Celine.

Other than that small piece of news, nothing else happened within the day we were gone, at least to the villagers. To them, it was just another day's work, but to the 6 of us who went to the Glemt, the Reaper's Territory, it was like going through months of fighting. For me, I had to experience Selino's magic entering me and then her taking over my body. At least right now, it seems like she is asleep.

The sun slowly rises higher and higher as time passes, and I took the liberty to just relax for once. Not a thought of fighting crossed my mind, instead, I went around and took in how much the Krepost has grown since I first created it. Now it truly feels like a second home, with HavenFall not too far away from it. I know I will eventually need to create more footholds around this area, in order to strengthen my forces and in the process find ways to increase the manpower.

Ideally, I would want to create another village closer to the mountains where we had visited before, as it would be an ideal place for minerals and ores to be located. While the Krepost will be extended into an agricultural city, utilizing all the empty grassland as farmland. Wheat needs to be grown in higher quantities for it to become a staple resource to feed my people, and using that food, I will energize workers to mine resources in the third village.

Standing on top of the wall, my mind wanders in the direction of advancing my 'civilization', but snapping me back to reality, were the notifications.

[Congratulations once more to the players who actively participated in the Third Event. After taking some time to calculate the contributions of each player as well as Travelers who have associated with a village. We will be displaying the top 10 Villages/Solo Travelers within New Oceania.

HavenFall - Lord Ian

Bone City - The Great Devel

Lotus Flower - The Pious SanShiGo

Aqua Corp - Consul Helioc

Shining Finger

Pa Kaua - Lord SAMurai

Those who are a Solo Traveler, they will receive a different reward, compared to the players who are the leaders of their respective villages. ]

[All players who have contributed to the event will gain a Normal random gift box, as well as a special skill. Pioneers of Settlement (Passive). The Normal random gift box is similar to the one given due to server maintainence.]

Pioneers of Settlement (Passive) - Reward to the players who have strived to survive in a new world and have grown stronger by adapting to it. +5% Cold Resistance. +5% Heat Resistance. +5 to all stats.

[To the players who participated in the final Quest, they will gain an additional Rare random gift box as well as a Unique random gift box. Both random gift boxes will have a higher chance of gifting a rarer item or even an artifact. ]

[These rewards will be distributed right now, allowing for players who are still alive to be able to use them straightaway, however, there is only 1 hour left before the game shuts down. After the game shuts down, we hope players will be understanding as there will be a short wait as the update process may take some time. During this time we hope players will keep up-to-date with our activities as there will be posts on our website.]

[As always, thank you so much for supporting Settlement. We hope you are enjoying your time and continue to have fun!]

A lot of information was displayed and reading through it all took some time, but at the end of it, the rewards materialized in front of me, floating down slowly for me to catch them. For a total of 3 gift boxes, I observe them each have a different ribbon tied around the box. Silver, gold, and purple with gold edges. I didn't need to read them for me to know which was which, but before I could open them, I hear my name. Rebecca and Nina were calling out to me from below, waving their hands as they showed off their own gift box.

However, before I could jump down and greet them, another notification pops up in front of me.

[As one of the top 10 Players, who is also currently a leader of a village, you have been rewarded with a random unique building… Palgum.]

[As one of the top 5 leaders you have been given an Altar of Life. Please set a location for the Altar of Life before the game shutdowns or the item will disappear.]

"Hey! Ian! Get down from there! Let's open up the random boxes!" - Nina

Glancing down, after reading the notifications, I choose to discuss what I have received with Nina and Rebecca, after all, it is better for me to discuss with the only two other players here, then decided everyone by myself.

"Coming, coming." - Ian
