There was no way to expect the little players to keep a secret. So after Murphy let Loyal Brother in on a little "inside information," word that a large number of newcomers would be joining in three days had already spread all over the forums before the afternoon.
For the famished fans who had been waiting with bated breath, it was like a welcome rain after a long drought. The whole forum was as jubilant as if it were New Year.
Admin Alpha had personally admitted in a post that everyone currently on the forum was a "reserve tester." He'd also repeatedly promised that once production of the game helmets ramped up, everyone on the forum would get to enter the game and have some fun, contributing their part to Transia's rise.
After waiting so many days, the chance had finally arrived. Naturally, everyone was delighted.
But in Admin Alpha's forum group, someone soon noticed a "subtle change" in the situation.
Leading Pigeon: ??? Weren't there only a little over five hundred people on the forum a few days ago? How did we suddenly balloon to over seven hundred today? And the number's still going up? Also, why do all you newcomers have such bizarre names? Is this another mysterious special group?
Batch Wholesale Invincible Old Fuding: Huh? Bizarre? I don't think so. We received invitations from Knight Taipal, who sent us Otherworldly Waymarks, and came to Transia to take part in this grand undertaking and spread the light of order and justice. Isn't that perfectly normal?
And why call us a "group"? We're a legitimate team!
Torrent Knight Amir: Exactly, exactly! A super-legitimate team! Our Torrent Knights are fully prepared. As soon as Lord Murphy opens the dimensional portal, we'll all head to the otherworld! We'll restore the name
