Chapter 259 258- Plans and Schemes
Shay summoned his carrier and went back to the flying guild castle.
'Kayden was right. It's not the gods' fault. They were the ones who put a twist on the 75th floor, but Bianca wouldn't have died if she hadn't participated in the dungeon expedition.'
Shay furrowed his brows and uttered, "Elliott was the one who forced her, so he is the one to be blamed."
Shay clenched his fists and muttered, "I can kill Elliott any time I want, but that won't bring me satisfaction. I want to see him suffer. I want him to lose everything as I did."
Shay pondered for a while and uttered, "Elliott's pride is the guild. If the guild drops in ranking, he will suffer. But I want him to suffer more… more than a limit where he would want to die."
Shay thought of various plans to punish Elliott for what he did, but none of his plans gave him the satisfaction he wanted.
"I can turn his loyal dogs against him and have him killed by them. No… is killing the best option?" Shay wondered.
'If he dies in the game, he will die in the real world too. I won't be satisfied by that. I want to see him suffer forever. I want him to wake up every morning and realize that he is a piece of shit whose life is worthless.'
Shay's eyes suddenly widened as an idea crossed his mind.

I planned to give them crazy incentives and rewards. But now… instead of many players from the guild, I would recruit every single one of them. I don't care how much money I am going to waste, but as long as I can see the helpless look on Elliott's face, I will be able to sleep peacefully," Shay asserted in a solemn voice.
"If everyone leaves his guild, the guild would naturally drop in ranking. And once that happens, Elliott would lose anything. I am the funder and the guild already relies on me, and once I stop giving funds, everything will collapse."
At first, Shay wasn't sure if he should do something like that nor not. He never considered himself a better man than Elliott, but after losing the love of his life, Shay didn't care about anything.
He threw aside all his remaining morals, ideals, and a little bit of humanity he had left within him. Not only that, but he no longer cared about anything.
His main goal was to destroy Elliott in every way possible. But of course, Shay's plan needed a lot of work, and he had to make sure not to mess up because a single wrong step could turn the tables.
While Elliott might be a selfish person who wanted to dominate the Gods' Impact and rule over the people; he also considered himself as better than everyone else and thought he deserved and owned everything.
In the real world, Elliott worked as a watchman of Ramsay's Industries. He had seen Shay many times on campus, but of course, Shay had no obligation to look at the watchmen.
In his free time, Elliott played role-playing and multiplayer games to take out his pent-up frustrations from the job. He lived a different life where he thought he was better than everyone in the game world.
Of course, he carried that mentality when he was transported to the Gods' Impact.
Furthermore, unlike all the players who were unknowingly brought to the game, Elliott came willingly by breaking into a VR center and using the VR headset when there was havoc in all the VR centers.
Elliott had graduated from one of the best universities in the country with an above-average degree. However, he couldn't land a job because of his horrible personality.
When he went to Ramsay's industries for the job interview, they gave him the job of the watchman. But of course, the salary was high too.
Actually, Elliott quite liked that job, as he didn't have to do anything but just sit and watch. There were already dozens on camera in every corner and robot guards with scanners in their eyes.
Elliott considered himself as the boss of the place as his job needed the least work and effort. That didn't change when he entered the Gods' Impact and chose to create a guild since, in every game he had played, the big organization played the most important role and ruled over.
However, in Gods' Impact, after the gods introduced the religions, Elliott realized that dominating the game wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. But his main goal was to surpass the strongest guild in Gods' Impact— Edens Dynasty.
After Shay reached the flying castle, he went to his room and took a nap. He still had to complete his unfinished business, which was nothing other than clearing the mixed dungeon and reaching floor 75 to visit the grave.
Meanwhile, Zach and Kayden were still in the restaurant, eating like crazy.
While Kayden hadn't eaten much, Zach had finished over a dozen plates of chicken and roasted meat. He had no need to worry about the bill as the owner was Zach's follower. But that wasn't the reason Zach was eating that much; he had become rich by selling potions, and he earned 100,000 daily.
He was ranked high in the 'money earned in Gods' impact' ranking, but that didn't change him from being a cheapskate.
He always used money freely whenever it came to food and necessity.

"How much time would it take for the girls to finish talking?" Kayden asked Zach.
"Aria can open the portal from the inside, so they will come out when they are done talking," Zach responded.
"So… what do we do now…?"
"Nothing." Zach placed his hand on his stomach and said, "I ate too much, so I think I will stroll in the garden."
"I will rest under the gazebo then," Kayden said and walked towards the gazebo.
Zach began his stroll, but halfway through, his gaze fell on the dead bodies of the opponents he had fought.
"They didn't even bother to bury them…?" Zach muttered in disbelief.
Zach decided to give them a proper burial, but a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
'Aria warned me not to use necromancy on the players and NPC, but… I am curious…'
