Prestige Grinding : I Can Reset My Level

As they all left the office, Sora sent a message to Kara using the friend-list messaging feature: "Do you know why NPCs don't take part in the war? And why do people still call them NPCs when it's impossible to tell them apart from players unless you inspect them?"

Kara quickly replied, "Well, they don't seem to mind the nickname. They're bound by stricter rules than we are, and they appeared after the update. They seem and act human, but no one really knows where they come from or if they're truly human. My master always changed the subject when I asked about her past."

Sora frowned as he read her response, feeling puzzled about the NPCs' origins after his several interactions with them. 'This means a lot and nothing at the same time' he shook his head, ignoring the matter for now.

Soon, they reached the recruitment office, where they were asked to provide their identification tokens, meaning their adventurer's guild badge.

After receiving their military tokens, they were handed their uniforms, which had a magical effect. When they equipped them above their armor, they felt the weight of their new roles settle on their shoulders. Their interface updated, displaying options for party chat, team leader chat, company chat, battalion chat, and division chat. They could send written messages or use voice chat for communication within their unit, but were restricted in higher rank chats.

A message immediately appeared on their screen:
