World Issues

A man walked into a large building.

"Guild Leader Tyler Of Haven guild has arrived." Announced a man with thick glasses. In the room which Tyler walked into were the most powerful people in the world.

"Good, we can finally start the discussions." Said a man with red and gold hair and a large lance leaning on the chair near him.

"Who made you the leader to decide to run this meeting?" asked a man with yellow hair that stuck all over the place.

"I think that it should be me who gets to lead this meeting." The man was the Lightning god Yang Akio and the one he was arguing with the Scarlet Lance Tyler Riggs.

Others that were present were the Holy Priestess Amanda Green, Ice Princess Shyann Queen, and Demonic Flame Brad Smith. These were the six Heaven-Level Guild leaders. For a Guild to promote to each level, they have to have a minimum of each color, for a Heaven-Level they need to have at least 20 Purple and 100 Turquoise Rank Adventures. Each guild is stronger than the new nation's army.

"I'm the strongest human with my dual element of holy and fire so I Should lead," said Riggs

"Enough we are here to discuss what to do about the increase in Crack and the levels raising not play who's bigger." Tyler said. "besides Riggs do you truly think you are the strongest human?" "

Of course, I am none of you have ever beat me." Riggs said confidently.

"So you're saying you could also beat Shadow?" Amanda asked him.

Riggs's face instantly paled because he knew that no matter how hard he tried he would never be able to beat that man.

"That's what I thought so can we now please start talking about what we all came here for." She said motioning for Tyler to start talking.

"Uh-hum well as I said the Cracks are becoming more frequent with a 70% increase of spawning in the past year alone as well as the ranks that are coming out are higher, Over 40% of them are Sword and 30% are Spear. While we have yet to see but one War Axe monster in the past ten years with the way things are going it is not unlikely that another will come soon, and Shadow may not be near when that one appears." He said.

By this time it had become common knowledge that Shadow lives somewhere in the northern part of the new world. When the monster first came they took over all but American but due to continued resistance humans had freed much of the world. They now owned 60% of the landmass on earth. While this seemed like a large number, 20% of the land was inhospitable due to the damage caused by the Cracks.

"I still say we try to send people into the Cracks." Said Brad.

Since the Shattering many people wanted to know what was beyond the cracks that cause hell for them. Some people tried to enter them only to be pushed out with the Screen saying "Requirement not yet met", as for the requirement no one yet knew what it was.

"You know as well as the rest of us if we could then we would but we haven't any idea what this mysterious requirement is yet so there is no way to enter." Shyann Queen said.

"Well I think I might know but I'm only about 60% sure," Amanda said.

"Well, what are you waiting to tell us," Riggs said.

"Well as you all know that Shadow Shards are dropped sometimes from Spear Level monsters but very rarely?" She asked, "Well what if we need to get 100 of them to enter the Cracks?"

All around the room all the faces of the Guild leaders were frozen.

"Of course what else could it be as of right now no one on earth has ever gotten all 100," Tyler said.

"What if Shadow has, I mean since Spear levels drop it makes sense that a War Axe level would and he's the only person to kill one and that's why he is so strong," Amanda said, and with that one comment the entire room changed, could that be the reason that Shadow was so strong? Did he collect all 100 and enter a Crack making him able to level much faster than people?
