Everyone was so busy both in-game and in the real world that they didn't notice the passage of time.
Before they knew it, it was already Silvia's twentieth birthday. After that would be the anticipated Guild Wars, which would be followed by the much-awaited Halloween event in COVENANT.
After all that ended and before the holidays would be the students' exams.
The upcoming events were too compacted, leaving almost everyone with no time to breathe. Among those people struggling were, of course, the members of World Conqueror.
Ren, in particular, poured all his attention into World Conqueror to get his mind off his miserable forced relationship and Evie's indirect rejection.
World Conqueror's inner operations were all set after just three days, all thanks to Ragnar's help. A lot of miscellaneous weight had been lifted off from Ren and the others' hands.
There was still the transition phase, and Ren still had to check every quest, but at least he was unburdened by a lot of work.
"I-I just . . ." Saya stammered.
Ren didn't bother waiting for her and said, "If it's nothing important, then I'll hang up. It's getting late."
He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start or where to begin. All he knew was that he had to end this conversation before he made things worse by saying something stupid, which, in turn, might put Evie in trouble.
"Wait!" Saya panicked when she sensed that Ren was about to turn off his phone and she blurted without stopping.
"I heard that you received an invitation to Silvia's party. Let's go and attend her birthday."
