Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen-Chapter 314: Absolute Reign (2)
"What?!"
Hearing the words and the tone of Erix, everyone was dumbfounded. An uproar began among people.
"Why, Erix? It would help if you could provide a sound reason," Kaflan said, his voice ringing high and wide to suppress the normal talks of people.
"The reason is simple," Erix smiled. "This Sanctuary Area is a protection zone, so keeping guild territories here is just taking needless space."
"It's not an efficient use of this area," Erix narrowed his eyes and continued.
"We have Guild-dungeons for structures and other ways to strengthen Guild Bases, so people who don't live in Guild territories should build their houses here in the sanctuary zone."
Just as Erix finished speaking, another uproar began, even bigger than before.
But this time, the general public was cheering loudly!
Guild territories had taken up most of the space in this five-kilometer diameter sanctuary zone.
It was the same size as the Blessed Island, so the island floating above covered the exact space of the Sanctuary Area.
"Second…" Rin's voice spread, suppressing others' voices as everyone quieted down.
"The floating island you see above is named Unfettered Kingdom, and…a Kingdom has its citizens."
Erix produced a black index-finger-sized rectangle card with shining dark golden letters swelled on it.
[Unfettered Kingdom]
"This is the citizen card of Unfettered Kingdom—You can call it U-card! It has a magic formation inside that will allow you to spiritually communicate with other holders of the card."
"Each card has a unique serial number, and if you touch another card with your card, you can add that person to your contact list."
Erix raised his right hand upward while the people were dumbfounded hearing the announcement of the cards and their functions.
"Stay in your position and wait for your U-card," Erix said. In the next second, his eyes flashed with space, and his Prana started consuming as he started creating the cards.
One by one, cards rapidly materialized in the sky and floated in rows up rows, creating a big spectacle.
Erix had already learned the spiritual magic formation present in comm cards that everyone used in the Abyss, and it wasn't hard to learn nor was it a secret in the Abyss.
This form of communication was common, and it was bound to arrive here, but Erix decided to make it accessible quickly because he could.
He had Metal elements to create the card's base material, so he only needed to learn the spiritual communication formation, which was easy.
He gave a unique serial number of five digits + alphabets to each card and created a total of eight-thousand six hundred and seventy-two cards—the same amount as the number of people present here at the moment.
Erix's Space Map registered every person, and he mass teleported the cards before every single one.
"Using a bit of your Prana on your U-cards will register you as an owner of the U-card and you can put it under your name, but you will need Spirit sense to communicate with other card holders, so need Spirit stat awakened."
"If you don't have spirit sense, you'll have to store spirit force in it from people who have unlocked Spirit state to use the card's call function!"
Everyone grabbed the card that appeared before them and inspected it.
[Name: ???]
[Grade]: D
[Serial Number]: A13B8
[Spirit Force stored]: 0
[Contacts]: —
"What is with this grade?"
"Are there other uses of the cards?"
People started shouting, but Erix raised his palm, "Silence and listen!"
The voices quieted down, and Erix continued.
"The card's grade indicates its quality and effective range! D-grade cards can only contact people within 100 kilometers of you."
"C-grade card's range is 500 kilometers and…" Erix's smile turned into a grin, his eyes gleaming, "the C-grade card will have a storage space of 10 cubic meters!"
"Unlike our Inventories from the system, you can store anything in a C-grade or higher-graded card's storage space!"
*Uproar!!*
This was big!
Erix had Space Affinity, and it wasn't hard for him to create a storage space attached to the card with a formation, especially because he examined the Hunter Card from the abyss!
Here, people could only store items gained from the apocalypse in their attached invisible Inventory—Drops, dungeon rewards, and various other event rewards.
People also started crafting potions, one-time-use items, artifacts, and other things, and their uses increased.
They could also store them in the inventory, but the it didn't have unlimited space.
Unlike in the cubic meter size, the Inventory had limits according to the number of items stored inside—limit: 100.
As such, the U-card was a big thing.
"I want to upgrade my card!"
"How much will it cost to upgrade the card?!"
The other guild leaders looked at the cards after grabbing them and felt strange as they looked at each other.
Until now, everyone thought they were equal to each other, but the return of the Unfettered Fate Guild's leaders changed the whole game here.
Accepting the card felt like becoming their subordinate of sorts.
"Card upgrade is not available at the moment," Erix responded to the people's demand. "And Card upgrade will not be free."
[Event! Prana Vein emergence beginning in one hour.]
[After an hour, a Prana Vein would manifest at a random location near all 50 Sanctuary Areas around the world. People can enter the vein zone and mine Prana Stones.]
'Interesting,' Erix.
'Erix, might as well announce the currency plan right now,' Rin said. 'This is a good opportunity.'
"Everyone, you will need exclusive currency of Unfettered Kingdom to upgrade the cards and other things or facilities we might add."
"The exclusive currency is called Unfettered Credit, and it is not physical, but spiritual, as it will appear in your U-card."
"You can earn U.C. by donating natural resources of Tier-5 and above or Prana stones."
"More about this will be disclosed later, but the exchange center will be built here in this center tomorrow."
Sweeping his glance around, Erix announced the last, but not the least upcoming change, one that outright nailed their position here.
