I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

When Lin Hai accurately sent the one hundred gold-embossed assessment invitations to each selected candidate through the mail system within the Origin Realm, it caused quite a stir in the elite player community of District 21.

Those who received the invitation were overjoyed and spread the news far and wide, as if they had already stepped one foot into the Myth Guild.

Those who were not selected lamented their failure, beat their chests in frustration, and watched their registration videos over and over again, trying to figure out exactly where they went wrong.

"Brothers! I made it! I made it into the top 100!"

A warrior named "I Love a Piece of Wood" was spamming his small circle of friends with posts.

"Really? Didn't your video get you chased and chopped down for three minutes by the boss?"

"You know nothing! That's called kiting! That's called maneuvering! That's called tactics! What the Myth Guild values ​​is someone like me who stays calm under pressure!"

……

"Sigh, I was rejected. I felt my skills were pretty good, why wasn't I selected?" a mage player complained in a forum post.

Soon, a knowledgeable person replied below.

"Bro, I've seen your video. You used your movement skill to dodge a non-targeting skill, which is a major no-no in raiding. Mythic Guild needs players who can fight tough battles, not just flashy ones."

"I see... I've learned something new."

This selection process also taught all players a lesson, making them realize that the standards for top guilds to select members are far more complex than they imagined.

Of these 100 lucky winners, 10 received slightly different invitations.

In addition to the usual assessment time and location, the invitation letter also included a sentence marked in a special font at the end.

"Mythical Guild, we look forward to your performance. —Seeing Through the Fog"

……

In a small, dilapidated house in the slums of Ironforge.

A thief with the ID "Night Wind" was sitting in the corner, repeatedly wiping his dagger.

He was the first person on Hua Zitong's list.

"Ding-dong."

An email notification sounded.

He opened the email with some impatience, thinking it was another system failure.

But when he saw that the sender was the [Myth Guild], he stopped what he was doing.

He opened the email and saw the assessment invitation, along with the signature at the end.

"Seeing flowers through the fog..."

A complex look flashed in Ye Feng's eyes.

He was a lone wolf, used to going it alone, and rejected all invitations from guilds, including the five super guilds, from the moment he entered the game.

He dislikes being constrained and disdains associating with so-called elites.

The reason I submitted the video to the Myth Guild this time was just on a whim.

He wanted to see what kind of person the man who had stirred up trouble in District 21 was.

He thought his video would disappear without a trace, but to his surprise, it was actually selected.

"That's interesting."

Ye Feng stood up and sheathed the dagger.

He decided to go and take a look.

Not to join a guild, but just to see the man who could drive the entire 21st district crazy.

……

Meanwhile, at the temporary headquarters of another medium-sized guild.

A warrior with the ID "Immovable as a Mountain" was surrounded by the guild leader and several high-ranking members.

"Shanzi, are you really going to participate in that mythological assessment?" the president asked with displeasure.

"Yes, I've received all the invitations." The unmoving mountain nodded, his voice steady.

"Are you crazy? Our guild has treated you well! You're our raid's main tank! What will we do if you leave?"

"President, I'm just going to participate in the assessment; I'm not guaranteed to be selected," he said calmly, as immovable as a mountain.

"What if you get elected?"

He remained unmoved and silent.

He didn't answer, but his eyes said it all.

He longed for a bigger stage.

A stage where he can fully display his talents.

But now this guild is too small to accommodate such a big fish as him.

"You..." The president was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Without offering any further explanation, he simply bowed slightly to the crowd and then turned and left the camp.

He's going to pursue his own path.

……

Similar scenes are playing out in every corner of District 21.

All ten people on Hua Zitong's list accepted the invitation.

Some are lone wolves, while others are hidden gems in small guilds whose talents go unrecognized.

They each have their own pride and stories, but at this moment, they are linked together by the name "myth".

Meanwhile, other super guilds were not idle either.

After confirming that their undercover agents had successfully entered the list of 100 people, the leaders of the Iron Blood Alliance, the Rise of the Storm, and the Blood Wolf Guild all issued their final instructions.

"Remember, your mission is not to join the Mythical Order," the Iron-Blooded Banner said to his two trusted subordinates. "During the assessment, you must demonstrate your strength as much as possible, not to gain their favor, but to suppress the others!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

The phrase "Wind and Clouds in the Nine Heavens" is even more direct.

"Go ahead, make a scene," he said to a rogue player in the shadows. "Stir things up as much as possible. I want to see just how many tricks he has up his sleeve to clean up this mess."

Blood Wolf War Soul, however, has a different goal from the other two.

"Unleash your full power and join the Mythic Realm. From now on, you will be my eyes within the Mythic Realm!" Blood Wolf War Soul instructed a mage.

……

What appeared to be a fair recruitment process had already become a battleground for various forces before it even began.

Meanwhile, the three examiners—Steel Shield, Arcane Light, and Beast Friend—are currently conducting their final rehearsals in the Ironforge arena.

"Tomorrow's first round is a free-for-all with 100 players. The three of us will split up and observe from different angles." Steel Shield held a map and wrote and drew on it. "I'm responsible for observing the front-line classes' damage absorption, positioning, and team protection awareness."

"I'm responsible for observing the ranged classes' output techniques, mana management, and focus fire efficiency," Arcane Light said.

"Then... I'll be in charge of observing the support and special classes, as well as the use of summoned beasts." The Beast Friend scratched his head.

All three of them felt immense pressure.

This was not only the first public appearance of the Myth Guild, but also the first time they appeared in front of the public as elders and examiners.

Their every word and action represents the face of the Myth Guild.

Absolutely, we can't mess this up.

"Don't worry, the three of us aren't pushovers either." Steel Shield patted his chest. "Tomorrow we'll show those kids that getting into our Mythical World isn't so easy!"

On the eve of the assessment, a tense yet exciting atmosphere permeated the entire Ironforge.

Countless eyes were focused on the central arena on the second day.

The next morning, a red sun burst forth from the horizon.

Li Wu stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the arena.

There, a sea of ​​people was already gathered, a dense, dark mass that stretched as far as the eye could see.

It seemed that all the players in Ironforge had gathered there.

A huge stage has been set up.

And he, and his Myth Guild, are about to become the most dazzling protagonists on this stage.

A slow smile curved the corners of Li Wu's lips.

"Then, let the show begin."
