Here you go, one more chapter. It still not proofreaded Thank you for reading.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
The 24 hours Daniel got by killing his own character didn't go to waste. After having some sleep, he immediately make a phone called to Resha or Jurek in real life to tell her his plan.
"Hmm... I got it, I will do it like you told me."
"Thank you, by the way did you have any idea on how to find someone in real life?"
" Was that someone known in Emperor Saga?"
"Yes, he's Merchant's Guild leader. I need him for my plan."
"Hmm....it was hard to find merchant users in real life even if it was someone popular."
"Yes, we always hide our identity."
"Hmm... How can I help?"
"Maybe he did come at DT entertainment building for Emperor Saga, to be accept to enter the building one need an appointment.Like me, maybe he need to tell you, the receptionist his in game name."
"I see, hold on I think I can find that person identity."
Once Daniel have the person identity, he smiled wryly as he himself didn't know for sure if the person in question will accept his plan.
Daniel had a good deal and he sure any decent merchant would never turn down his offer. But a bad first encounter with the person may make him get rejected.
If the person rejected him, Daniel can still carry on his plan but his plan may end up in failure if the plan carried by less influential merchant.
To carry his plan, Daniel need a merchant that has a neutral standing and had a great influence to other merchant. The merchant also need to have flawless persuading skill and at least rank A at the Merchant's Guild for him to act as Daniel's proxies.
Not to mention only rank A merchant can actually appoint non merchant users to act as his proxies. Because his clan doesn't have any other merchant, rank A merchant was Daniel only hope.
"(I hope that person will accept my proposal.)"

Current time.
Chrono has little time for him to arrived at the designate place to execute his plan. And yet two troublesome guys standing in front of him with their clan 'Purpose' and Grand Fort troops surrounding him.
"You noobs doesn't know when to quit."
Jason and James smirk as if to ridiculed at Chrono current situation.
"And these noobs just got you surrounded."
Chrono still disguise as the Grand Fort guard. His situation right now was no different than a cornered rat but regardless, his face formed a smiled.
"Huh! You guys act like I already dead!"
Once Chrono finishes his words, he charge to the windows and smashed it with his body as he charged through it.

"Fool! This building already surrounded, there's nowhere to run!"
As Chrono in mid air, he unleashed the smoked bomb. Once his body reached the ground, he run back to the building as fast as he can.
The 'Purpose' members decide to chase Chrono while the Grand Fort troops keep surrounding the building. They thought catching Chrono was just a matter of time since it was impossible for anyone to escape.
"Unless that guy can hack the game and used ridiculous broken skill, there's no way he can escape us."
With smoked still filling their surrounding and Chrono 'Silent Dead' skill, it was hard for the 'Purpose' clan member to keep track of Chrono.
Their predator skill was not enough to track Chrono. But with five thousand troops surrounding the building, they were sure that Chrono still in the building.
"Heeekkk!!"
As they heard the scream, the 'Purpose' clan members head to the source of the scream. They moved in formation they created to prevented Chrono to use the same tactics on them like in the 'Forest of Beast' where Chrono annihilated the whole clan by using the fog.
As they reach the destination, they saw a goblin trembling in fear. The goblin point its finger at a direction without speaking out of fear.Without any word, the clans men rush to the direction the goblin pointed.
As the clans men out of his sight after he pointed the direction, Chrono smirk and walk his way to the bathroom, in his goblin form.
"Guys, did you catch him already?"
"No sir, we still have no trace of him."
"What? How is that possible, where are you guys right now?"
"At one of the room at the second floor, right now we are searching if he hide somewhere."
"Wha? If you can't find him there just go elsewhere! Don't waste time.
"If that goblin was right there's no way he can be elsewhere."
"Goblin? Wait, did you saw him running there?"
".......We didn't really saw him but one of the goblin saw him running at this direction."
"Fool! That goblin was him!"
As the clans men realized that the goblin was actually Chrono, it was already too late. They get back to where Chrono was but they found nothing.
When Jason and James finally arrived, their clan members still found nothing. Some of the clan members even speculate that Chrono kill himself to escape.
"No, he would not do that for the second time. I had a feeling he still need to do something, that's why he didn't used that strange skill, instead he went through the trouble disguising as goblin."
"And he reveal himself on purpose when he actually can stay hidden......maybe you guys blocked his escaping path?"

".......Yes! That's it, if we look at our clan members searched formation, the only room he can't enter if he stays hidden was...."
""The bathroom!""
****
Once Jason and James and their clan members reached the bathroom, they discovered the iron bar leading to the sewers melted by chemical solution. They tried entering the sewers but non of them can enter the small sewers.
Realizing Chrono escaped when he was right on their nose, Jason tempered burst. He punch the wall in rage while shouting as loud as he can.
"Dammit! We were so close!"
James also almost loss it, but he tried to keep his composure because he still didn't give up hope. His instinct told him that they still had the chance to catch Chrono.
"Keep your composure Jason, try to think and predict where he will escape. Your deduction always surpass me when you were calm."
Realizing James still didn't give up, Jason closed his eyes while trying to be as calm as possible. Once he's calmed enough, Jason try to figure out what actually Chrono trying to do.
"( That guy actually can escape easily countless of time with his strange skill. But he didn't do that, why is that? Did he have an unfinished business?Or his plan doesn't end here? I guess it was the latter one.
If that's the case, why he seems desperate. Can't he just execute his plan later? Or maybe he can't wait any longer, maybe he need to execute the plan as fast as he can or it will end up in failure.
Whats the time limit then? 3 days? 4 days? Or less then 24 hours?......24 hours......That's the time needed for one avatar to revive!!
So that's it! He need to execute his plan before that merchant he just killed, Roshan revive. But wait, if that was the case he still had plenty of time, why did he...
Wait, these times is the best time to do anything with all the chaos and confusion he just created. Roshan.....his existence was a great threat to that guy since he need to kill him before he can execute his plan.
I guess if Roshan was alive, that guys plan would end up in failure....Roshan....The answers lies in why did he kill that merchant....)"
Jason suddenly open his eyes once he realize something.James realized Jason already figured out something by just looking at his face.
After pondering for a bit, Jason start to speak.
"Bring me the sewers blue prints."
Once he get the blue print, Jason analyze it and then he compared it with the north continent maps.
"The sewers had 8 exits, 5 exits lead to high cliff that was impossible for even an orc to escaped death if he jumped from here."
Jason then points his finger to the other exits and continue
" The other two exits leads to the north, east and south. these three exits supposed to be occupied by guards, but right now the place was empty since TigerB and his council members even takes the guards there for the searched quest."
Before Jason continue, one of the clan members interrupt him and ask a question.
"So, we should split our force and and wait for him at all three exits?"
Jason shake his head in disagreement and explained his deduction.
"No, the NPC troops here was strong and has higher level but there were slow and not suited for chasing the enemy, only our clan members can get there on time."
"But that will split our forces too thin! By past experience we can't afford to face him without having huge number advantage."
By the clan members remark, Jason just smiled and pointed his fingers at the east sewers exits.
"That's why everyone of us we will wait here."
"But that just gambling, we only had 1/3 chance he will appeared there."
"No, I'm 100% sure he will appeared here, it's the exits that leads to the shortest road to the place he want to attack, the 'Cranberry' headquarters."
*******
By entering the sewers through the bathroom, Chrono make his way to escape. The only reason he can enter the sewers was because he has the goblin small body stature.
Even hobbit and dwarf race can't enter the sewers since the sewers was intentionally made small to avoid invaders. Without a race with small body figure like goblin, there's no way anyone can pursue him in the sewers.
The unexpected event where Chrono almost get caught by the two detective make Chrono felt anxious, but thanks to his quick thinking, he managed to came out with the emergency plan.
"(How did they figure out I came back to the fortress anyway? I need to revise on my plan later.)"
With no one following him, Chrono felt relieved. But that feeling didn't last long. His face start to change, in contempt once he reached the sewers exits.
"(Those two again!)"
He still lurks behind the iron bars of the sewers exits. Only his blood red eyes was visible from outside of the sewers since the sewers was dark and it still 4:40 A.M.
But it was enough for Jason and James realized that Chrono was there. They start to change to battle stance and giving their clan members signal to form their formation.
"Just surrender red eyes!"
Chrono did expect around 30 users waiting for him, but he didn't expect the 'Purpose' clan full force waiting for him at the exits.
"(Looks like I underestimated them, dammit!)"
And thus, the round two final confrontation between Chrono and the clan 'Purpose' about to start.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
