Chapter 284 - Epilogue: The Emporium Awaits
Vulwin Zylris
Planet Dirvenguard, Sector 116-134
Vulwin was nervous to the point of nearly sweating, and that spoke to how anxious he was. His race never sweat. This was to be his first big assignment and he couldn't mess it up. It was finally his chance to make it big and now that the opportunity had arisen, he would make the most of it.
He stood in the Large Hall with dozens of his comrades as they all watched the screen in front of them intently. The rotating planet had 13 large makers on it with a few already turned green. Some were still grey, and only one was red.
He knew somewhere else in the Emporium's complex, a similar Great Hall was filled with people standing at the ready should the Planet Fail. Which, given the current situation, was rather unlikely.
Every metric or survey from the few Divinations or Scrying attempts Vulwin knew of said the Planet had great odds at passing. The chances of failing were already low from the it only being an E-rank Assessment, but since there was still an outside chance they could fail, another team needed to be gathered just in case.
Vulwin hoped they didn't fail.
He, along with the dozens of others gathered in the same hall, sat at the peak of E-rank. All of them capped at level 100. While some in the Universe were stuck at E-rank because they lacked the requirements, everyone in the Hall was E-rank by choice, including Vulwin.
He had long ago upgraded his Law to Tier 2 but he'd stayed in E-rank anyways. Partially for the opportunity now in front of him.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime event that most in the Emporium had never experienced before, yet he stood at the ready to grasp it.
While he, his team, and everyone else in the Hall were only E-rank, the other group's lowest members were already well into D-rank. The grunts, as they were called. Then there were the C-rank managers followed by the sole B-rank the Emporium had available.
Vulwin hadn't even seen a B-rank before, yet he knew one was somewhere on the premises.
