Is this really a Game?!

Chapter 489 Greenie's Name

Reign and the others spent the following week mostly peacefully. They didn't go out to fight powerful monsters but still patrolled the surrounding mountains in order to check if there were any demon activity.

They were mostly doing that in order to get used to their new strength, and in order to wait for Greenie to finally complete his evolution as well. He had fully recovered from his wounds and had expected to start his evolution any time during the week, it finally started on the sixth day and Greenie took about 24h to go through it.

It was obvious to Reign and the others that he had changed after the evolution, not physically, but mentally.

He was now going to be let go as a subordinate, and would for the first time ever, officially be a member of the team.

Greenie had joined them a long, long time ago. Back then, he was just a small, frail and cowardly goblin that only wished to survive, and as such, he had bent his knee and offered his loyalty and servitude to Reign, fully expecting to be cut down thanks to his weak strength.

Somehow, Reign took him in, and since then, Greenie had been growing stronger at an explosive rate.

He became a hobgoblin brawler quite fast, and then he was promoted to a Vajra.

His two evolutions made absolutely no sense.

The hobgoblin brawler one was still possible, but it was rare, but his becoming a Vajra was a mystery that none of them had any clues on.

Still, he had been a faithful subordinate and a good friend to Reign and the others, and it was finally time to officially become their equal.

[ Does the player 'Reign' wish to let the subordinate 'Greenie' free of his subordinate status? ]

[ Alert! ]

[ The system recommends the player change his mind as the subordinate is incredibly valuable! ]

"Yes, set him free" Reign spoke with conviction.

Ding!

[ The subordinate 'Greenie' has been set free. ]

Suddenly a golden hue appeared over Greenie and Reign, before being cut in half and dissipating.

Greenie stared at his hands, then at Reign, before simply blanking out. He was suddenly woken up by the system.

[ The player 'Reign' is inviting you to his party, do you accept? ]

Greenie nodded and was finally a true member of the party.

Tears fell down his eyes as he stared at Reign and the others who all came to him and gave him a hug.

[ The Vajra Ogre, Trygve ( Nord name that means the trustworthy ) has joined the party  ]

"Greenie, your name!"

"Hahahaha, that doesn't sound bad at all." Tank laughed out loud as he patted Greenie heavily on his back.

"Vajra told me, it means a person that you can trust," Greenie said as he looked down at the ground, which prompted Reign and the others to laugh.

"Well, we already knew that." Tank and the others laughed as Greenie scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Well, Trygve, welcome to the team." Reign said as he stood in front of Greenie.

"Ummm, can you just call me Greenie, I'm kind of used to that name?"

"Hahahahahaha!" Everybody laughed as they looked at Greenie who was acting a lot more bashfully compared to before.

"You bet, even if you didn't want us to, we would probably still continue using that name."

The team all went to celebrate after this.

They had been fighting non-stop for the past 3 months, never taking any unnecessary breaks and always focusing on getting stronger.

Greenie and the others spent the rest of the day relaxing before finally going back to the mountains.

They had completely destroyed the demon base on the first mountain, and there was now a small town that was built on top of the mountain.

The town was located around the safe zone, which would allow for the players to quickly get to safety in case they get attacked.

There were tall walls that surrounded the town as Reign and the others had spent quite a sum to build it so that it would last.

Even Tier III beings would be unable to destroy the walls easily and would need to spend quite some effort.

The Treants had also joined them.

Ever since Reign and the others had killed the Tier II monsters on the mountain and taken control of it, they had become allied with the Treants.

At first, the alliance was nothing of importance, the Treants disliked fighting and would simply stay in their territory.

But after the other players arrived and started hunting down and killing the monsters on the first mountain, the situation changed.

Right now, there were barely any monsters that could be found on the first mountain. The players had arrived and swept through the area like locusts, destroying anything that they came across.

The other mountains were now the main hunting grounds for the players who were slowly becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Elijah's poison ability had shown incredible growth ever since the young man had activated it.

He had something that Reign and the others didn't have at the beginning of the game, mana, a lot of mana. He was able to use the ability much more than they were in the beginning, and thus the growth of the ability was explosive.

It had its disadvantage as well as compared to Reign and the others, Elijah had less time to experiment with his skill and use it to its fullest at different stages, which meant that he was not only less proficient with it at the same level as they were, but he didn't have as many skills as they had back then.

Still, a rank A ability was nothing to scoff at.

His poison was deadly to enemies, and he was able to create more potent versions of the poison by using more mana as well.

By controlling the poison, he could even make it so that his teammates would be unaffected, which allowed them to continue fighting in the same manner as before.

Elijah's main way of fighting was still using his javelins and other throwing weapons.

He was able to coat them in his poison before throwing them, which allowed him to poison his enemies from afar, even the slightest cut would result in the poison entering the body.

More people joined the territory, and more decided to fight against the monsters, which resulted in a lot of new talents being discovered.

Some had never fought before and would need a lot of time before being able to fight against the more powerful enemies, while some had been fighting ever since the game had started. Amongst those, some were Tier I, some were still below the first tier, and there were even those that were relatively close to reaching Tier II.

The biggest shock, however, came from the elves.

The day after Reign and the others had managed to evolve, a notification that they didn't expect appeared.

[ The elves have left the alliance. ]

Before Reign and the others could even comprehend what was happening, a second notification came.

[ The elves wish to join the player territory, will you accept? ]

Reign didn't understand what exactly was happening, or what the queen was thinking, but he had many good relations with the elves, and so he accepted.

Suddenly a huge array appeared on an empty spot in the territory.

Reign and the others had made the safe zone much larger compared to before, there was no more reason to keep most of the city filled with monsters anymore since players now had a lot more areas they could go to in order to level up.

The array appeared and soon a bright light followed it.

In an instant, huge trees appeared inside the territory, while one that stood much taller than the others was in the center.

The territory of the elves had suddenly appeared inside the town.

Reign and the others carefully went over to the territory, only to find Aelrinder and the others waiting for them. They nodded to them before escorting them to the queen who was supposed to explain everything.

To make things short, it turned out that the alliance between them had grown strong and thus, the queen was able to join their two territories and make them into one, of course, that was only possible thanks to Reign who permitted it.

The queen herself thought about it for a day, since it only became possible after Reign and the others became Tier III.

But after thinking about it, she decided that that would be the best course of action.

She and the elves wouldn't have the same authority as before, but they didn't need it.

They had already made great relations with the rest of the players and it would only serve for the best for them to finally join together and live in the same territory. The queen and her people would have a better chance of gaining more territory on Earth if they were together with Reign and the others after all.
