Novel Full Chapter 720 Rumors
Villain Ch 720. Rumors
Once Allen transitioned from the real world to the virtual realm of Hell’s Gate, his surroundings shifted seamlessly. The familiar landscape of the Cursed Crypts greeted him, its eerie ambiance setting the tone for his next adventure. In his devil emperor avatar, Allen strode purposefully towards the imposing gates of his base, his footsteps echoing in the silent halls.
With practiced ease, he navigated the corridors of the mansion, his destination clear in his mind. Grimar’s room awaited him. Indeed, Allen’s curiosity piqued, eager to gauge the impact of the recent rumors circulating within the Hell’s Gate community. However, Allen’s priorities remained focused. He had unfinished business to attend to.
His next quest awaited him, a task that would require him to forge his armor, further enhancing his strength and resilience.
After taking the quest from Grimar, Allen wasted no time in checking the target list, eager to see who he would be facing in his next confrontation. He scanned the names listed before him and felt a sense of familiarity wash over him. There it was again, Father^Alex’s name, a reminder of their encounter at the war event just yesterday.
Alongside Father^Alex’s name, he found the names of Elio and VirtualValkyrie. It was no surprise to see them listed as targets, given the nature of the quest and their involvement in recent events.
With the drama unfolding within the Hell’s Gate community, Allen saw an opportunity to add his own twist to the narrative. He planned to orchestrate a spectacle, stirring up conflict and intrigue to make the drama even more captivating. Just like yesterday, he intended to ensure that there were plenty of witnesses to observe his actions, adding fuel to the fire of gossip and speculation.
However, this time he would have to act alone, as none of the girls were online to assist him.
With a quick stride, Allen made his way to the portal room, the anticipation of his upcoming mission fueling his steps. Once arrived, Allen activated his disguise, transforming into his assassin character. The change was instantaneous.
With his disguise firmly in place, Allen approached the portal, his mind already set on his destination. Ront City, the bustling hub of activity within the Hell’s Gate world, where all the top guild headquarters were located, seemed like the perfect setting to stir up some drama and intrigue.
Once Allen materialized in Ront City, he was greeted by a cacophony of noise and activity. The city was alive with the hustle and bustle of players going about their virtual lives, their avatars bustling to and fro with purpose.
The streets were lined with towering buildings, their facades adorned with banners and signs advertising various shops and establishments. Players milled about, their avatars chatting animatedly or browsing the storefronts that lined the thoroughfares.
At the gates of the city, Allen could see several groups of players gathered in hushed conversations, their expressions grave and serious. He approached and couldn’t help but overhear snippets of their discussions, confirming his suspicions that they were indeed talking about the recent drama involving Sophia.
“Have you heard the drama? The one about the Order of Valiance’s guild?” said one.
“Yes, I have heard. It’s between the guild leader, Mac and their main healer, Yora, right?” answered another.
“Totally, it’s all over the forums,” replied the second player, nodding. “Seems like there’s some serious tension brewing between them.”
“Definitely,” agreed the first player, leaning in closer. “I heard it started over a disagreement about war strategies or something.”
“Yeah, and now it’s turning into a full-blown guild feud,” chimed in a third player, joining the conversation. “I wonder how it’s gonna play out.”
Another group’s discussion caught his attention.
“Yeah, Mac’s definitely been acting high and mighty lately,” one voice said, its tone filled with disapproval. “He’s forgetting that Yora’s been by his side since day one. They used to be tight.”
The other person nodded in agreement. “Exactly. It’s like he’s let the guild’s success go to his head or something. But you know what they say, power corrupts.”
“And it’s not just Mac,” another voice chimed in. “All these big guilds start out preaching about unity and family, but when push comes to shove, it’s every player for themselves. Loyalty goes out the window when there’s power and loot on the line. I have witnessed firsthand how alliances could crumble under the weight of ambition and greed. “
Again, Allen couldn’t help but overhear the conversation from the nearby group, their voices tinged with irritation and frustration. He subtly shifted his position.
“Seriously, what was Yora thinking?” one player exclaimed, his tone dripping with annoyance. “Posting all that drama on the gaming forums? It’s like she’s airing the guild’s dirty laundry for everyone to see.”
“Yeah, it’s pretty immature if you ask me,” another player chimed in, nodding vigorously. “And don’t even get me started on her actions during the last war event. Calling out the emperor like that? It’s like she’s begging for trouble.”

“And what’s with her character choice?” another player added, shaking his head in disbelief. “A healer trying to bait the emperor? Talk about a rookie mistake. If she wanted to be a punching bag, she should’ve rolled a tank class instead.”
That last comment almost made Allen laugh. Of course, this was basic knowledge for a player to understand. Each class had its own role, but Sophia seemed to be deluding herself into thinking she did the right thing. It sounded downright foolish. It was like a mage trying to play the role of a tank. That was the same as trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
Even in solo gameplay, a mage should avoid or minimize close combat as much as possible. And let alone healers who think they could act as tanks in battle and claim they were baiting the main villain for the sake of the guild and other players. It was beyond foolish; it was downright ludicrous.
And of course, some game forum members had warned Sophia about it, yet Sophia still defended herself and didn’t admit she was wrong.
Classic!
She just went on about how she was trying to help and those members didn’t have a clue about the chaos of the situation. Like, seriously? Trying to justify reckless actions with even more reckless excuses. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Allen couldn’t help but shake his head at the whole situation. It was clear Sophia wasn’t going to back down anytime soon, even if it meant dragging the guild’s reputation through the mud. And from the looks of it, she had plenty of supporters who were buying into her story. It was frustrating to see, but at the same time, it added another layer of intrigue to the whole ordeal.
Again as Allen walked, his ears could catch another conversation.
“I don’t think Yora meant any harm by airing out the guild’s issues on the forum,” one player argued, his tone earnest. “She’s always been about helping others, even if her methods are a bit… unconventional.”
A nod of agreement came from another player nearby. “Yeah, I can vouch for that. Yora once healed me without even being asked during our last hunt at Black Castle. She’s got a big heart, even if her actions can sometimes backfire.”
Across the street, another group of gamers chimed in with their own opinions.
“You guys are wasting your time getting all worked up over this drama,” one of them scoffed. “We’ve got bigger fish to fry, like taking down the devil emperor. Focusing on guild drama isn’t going to get us anywhere.”
But a mischievous grin spread across the face of another player. “Oh, come on, don’t be such a buzzkill,” he retorted. “Sure, hunting is important, but where’s the fun in that? This drama is like a soap opera playing out in real life. It’s too juicy to ignore.”
“Yeah, this drama is definitely interesting,” Allen admitted with a smirk, his eyes scanning the bustling streets of Ront City. As he strolled along, he couldn’t help but overhear snippets of conversations from other players discussing the guild drama. Some were invested, while others brushed it off as trivial.
But for Allen, the real intrigue lay in the reactions of the guild leaders. He knew that Red_King and Mastercraft had already voiced their opinions in the forum, but he was curious to hear from others as well. After all, their perspectives could shed light on the larger dynamics at play within the gaming community.
He continued his search for his target player, yet Allen couldn’t shake the feeling that the drama surrounding the Order of Valiance’s guild was just the tip of the iceberg. There were likely deeper tensions and rivalries simmering beneath the surface, waiting to erupt at any moment. It even could be worse. But it would only affect the players of course, not him.
Still, he knew he needed to stir it a bit because drama in online games could have a good impact on the game but also a bad impact. Some players would drop the game if the drama got too intense.
