Guild Master POV
The guild hall was alive with activity. Adventurers came and went, shouting for attention, posting new requests, and exchanging news of dungeon drops, monster sightings, and city rumors. I, the Guild Master of REF, sat at my elevated desk, observing the chaos with an experienced eye.
It was becoming a problem—or an opportunity. The number of requests on the board had been steadily increasing over the past weeks. Rogue demons, missing magical artifacts, sudden monster attacks, and even personal disputes demanded immediate attention. Managing the guild's resources efficiently was more critical than ever.
System Notification — First Ping
A soft chime echoed through the hall, and my AR interface flickered. A system notification appeared in glowing blue text:
[SYSTEM — NOR NETWORK ALERT]
Pending Requests: 128 new submissions. Priority: High (43), Medium (65), Low (20).
Suggested Assignment: Distribute to top-tier adventurers and special class heroes.
I leaned back, adjusting my robes. "Looks like it's going to be a long day," I muttered. I had trained under many guild masters, but managing a city with REF's complexity required more than old-fashioned leadership—it required a system-assisted approach.

Guild Master POV — Reviewing Requests
The first request came from a village on the southern coast. A sea monster had attacked, destroying docks and ships. That matched reports I had received from Arra via the magical communication towers.
Another request: a rogue demon mimicking civilians in the northern forests, causing panic.
The third: a local noble accused of colluding with demons to enslave villagers.
And dozens more—ranging from mundane (lost pets, missing goods) to dangerous (demonic cults, monster infestations).
I activated the system once again. [SYSTEM — AKENE INTERFACE]
Recommended Adventurers for Pending Requests:
Sea Monster (Zara Coast) → Pallas (Explorer Class), Lyra (Special Class Healer)
Rogue Demon (North Forest) → Kael (Celestial Class), Brown (Undead Legion Commander)
Noble Collusion → Marielle (Special Class Beast Tamer), Malina (Special Class Beast Tamer)
Minor Requests → Vex (Alchemy), Thorne (Warrior Class)
The interface highlighted available adventurers with their current energy levels, locations, and readiness. It was seamless—almost too easy compared to the chaos of manual assignments I had endured in my early days.

Guild Master POV — Organizing Teams
I waved a hand over the floating interface, and the guild hall's projection map lit up. Colored markers indicated adventurers, monsters, dungeons, and important sites. I called out assignments, letting the system auto-notify the adventurers and their allies.
"Kael, Brown, check the northern forests. Rogue demon reported." I clicked a button, sending a notification:
[SYSTEM — TEMPEST ALERT]
Mission Assigned: Rogue Demon Investigation
Assigned: Kael (Master), Brown (Undead Legion Commander)
Objective: Identify, neutralize, and gather intelligence.
Reward: EXP 3,200, Gold 150, Special Loot Chance: 5%
Kael's acknowledgment appeared within seconds. [MISSION ACCEPTED]
Next, I assigned Pallas and Lyra to the coastal village. Their notification appeared similarly, with confirmation from both.
The efficiency of the system amazed even me. [SYSTEM — SUPREME INTEGRATION] ensured that every adventurer received mission updates, safety protocols, and resource suggestions, while also converting their system experience points into guild funds automatically.

System Notification — Guild Funds Update
As I continued organizing, a new notification pinged:
[SYSTEM — REF CITY GUILD ACCOUNT UPDATE]
Experience Points Earned from Communication Tower Usage: 12,000 XP → Converted to 24,000 Gold.
Current Guild Funds: 1,542,000 Gold.
I allowed myself a small smile. The system was generating income even while adventurers worked in distant realms. REF's economy, safety, and adventurer network were intertwined now more than ever.

Guild Master POV — Monitoring Progress
Throughout the day, requests continued to flood in. I kept an eye on multiple screens, each displaying adventurer stats, mission progress, and system-generated suggestions.
One alert caught my attention:
[SYSTEM — TEMPEST ALERT: URGENT]
Demonic Cult Activity Detected at Church of Agriculture
Priority: Critical
I immediately dispatched Lyra and Pallas, but also notified Ember and Sequoia via their system interfaces:
[NOTIFICATION: MISSION SUPPORT REQUESTED]
Objective: Assist in controlling cult activity, protect civilians.
By mid-afternoon, I had nearly 50 missions actively ongoing. Some involved minor dungeon cleanups, others were deadly encounters in distant realms. Yet the system ensured no mission overlapped dangerously, no adventurer overexerted, and resources were properly allocated.

Guild Master POV — Reflection
Sitting back, I reflected on how far the guild had come. Once, we had struggled with coordination, efficiency, and accountability. Now, with the integration of multiple systems, adventurers could receive real-time updates, missions could be allocated intelligently, and REF's safety was monitored constantly.
Still, despite all this automation, human judgment remained critical. I had to oversee priorities, ensure fairness, and maintain the moral compass of the guild. Systems could guide, suggest, and even enforce, but the heart of the guild—the decisions, the integrity, and the care for citizens—remained mine.
I allowed myself a small moment of satisfaction as another notification arrived:
[SYSTEM — NOR NETWORK ALERT]
New Adventurer Registered: Zephyr (Pet Beast, Transformable Form) — Available for Missions.
Even amidst the chaos, even with demons and rogue nobles threatening REF, there was hope. The guild was alive, organized, and ready. And I, as Guild Master, would ensure it remained so.

Closing Moment
As night approached, the hall grew quieter, adventurers having left for their missions. I gazed over the request board, illuminated by soft magical light, and thought:
No matter how many requests come in, how many threats emerge, or how many challenges the city faces, the guild will endure. The systems support us, the adventurers protect the people, and REF will continue to thrive.
And tomorrow, we will meet whatever challenges arise—just as we always have.
