Only Auron and his dejected guild member left behind in the arena.
"What will we gonna do now?"
"Are we really disbanding?"
"Why all of this must happen?
...
Many of Auron's guild members wailing desperately. Suddenly, Cold Candle elegantly approached him.
"Guild Leader, Darius must be cheated. There is something weird about this, we will need to investigate this," Cold Candle pretended she didn't know anything. "Before that, you should leave all of your items and equipment to us. After that, you can create a new character and start over again. We will help you to level up after you got to this level again, we will give back all of your items. We will challenge them and get our revenge!"
"Yeah, guild leader, we will exact our revenge to them."
"I will help you to level up."
...
Many of his guild members agreed to Cold Candle. Auron stood still. He out of focus. All of the event happen today shocked him. From a shockingly huge bet to the joy of knowing all of his plans were working well until feeling betrayed by his guild's vice leader.
Auron gazed furiously at Cold Candle, "You...!!!". He wanted to beat her up, but he looked at all of his guild members behind her.
"Although I know how all of this happens, I actually don't have any concrete proof. What will happen if I accuse Cold Candle colluding with Raging Bull without proof? Will all of my guild members believe in me?" Auron had some thought. "Forget it, this is all because of my carelessness. If I really accuse Cold Candle without proof, the others will really looked down on me. They will say that I can't accept any lose and blindly scapegoat the one who supports me. This will only harm me." After some thought, Auron got rid of the plan.
Auron suddenly felt very tired. He looked up to the sky, then a stream of tears can be seen washing through his face.
The more he thought about all of this, the more he felt regret. All of his hard work for 10 years. All of his effort to build the guild. All of his attempt to reach the peak. All of his life. If he didn't accept this bet before, If he listened to his best friend, All of this will not happen. He will not lose his character. He will not miss a guild he built with his best friend. All of this is gone.
Silently, Auron logged his character out.
Cold Candle and Auron's guild member shocked because Auron just logged off without saying anything. However, they somewhat know what his guild leader feel, and they will also do the same if they were in Auron's place. They started to disperse and went back to their routine. Some of them even logged off too.
Cold Candle stood still in the arena smiled. All of her plans worked, now she just needed to wait for the reward to be reaped. However, she suddenly shocked.

Auron's Room
Auron opened his eyes. He was inside a game capsule. He very lost in thought. He couldn't think straight. He blamed himself and also blamed his stupidity. He just wanted to run away from reality. He felt he started to get crazy.
He closed his eyes again and opened the game settings. He looked at his character.
[God Of Sword]
Level: 500 (maximum level)
Class: Swordsman
Ranked: 2
Attributes:
....
Skills:
....
Equipment:
....
Auron looked at his character with teary eyes. He moved his hand and pressed a button.
[Are you sure you want to delete your character permanently?]
"Yes"
[Warning!!! All of your equipment and item will also be permanently deleted. Please enter your character's name to confirm!]
Auron was not moving. He stood still lost in thought. A few seconds later, he gritted his teeth and started to make a move.
"God Of Sword" Auron then pressed the confirm button.
[Your character has been successfully deleted. Do you want to make a new character?]
"No"
Auron opened his eyes. He then exited the game capsule and lay on his bed.
"I'm done" Auron still couldn't believe what he had been through today. It felt like a dream.
Feeling very tired, Auron started to close his eyes, and slowly, his consciousness went into dreamland.
---------------------------------------------------
[Your guild leader has gone. As the vice guild leader, you will become the new guild leader. Congratulations!]
"Damn guild leader, He already deleted his character without sparing his equipment and items. Such a pity, I can't get his sword." Cold Candle silently cursed Auron. "Well, forget it, I can move my plan to the next step."
The other guild member also received the same news, and the guild went uproar. The story of Auron deleted his character started to spread like wildfire.
Many players looked at the player's ranking, and they couldn't found God Of Sword in the ranking.
"He really deleted his character this quick?" This question was what in the mind of other's players.
This colossal news actually make the event before become more bigger. It was like pouring oil into a flame. Many high leveled players confirm that their ranked went up by 1. They felt excited as well as pity. They pity Auron, such a top skilled player has gone in one day.
Many high leveled guild started to call Auron. They tried to befriend him and encourage him to play again. Of course, all of them ask Auron to play for their guild. They started to make a list of benefits they could offer to Auron.
Some of them offered a vital position in the guild. Some of the guilds used money to enticed Auron. There was even a guild offered guild leader position as long as Auron willingly to marry his daughter.
They keep calling Auron, but the call was not picked up. They tried over and over again. There was some guild who attempted to contact Auron's friend to make them persuade Auron to join their guild.
However, Auron, source of all of this event, didn't aware at all since he had already entered deep slumber and went into dreamland
