How about "DelveSoft"??

True hearts or the like

"DelveCraft"?

Integrated Delving is my hat in the ring. It has that tech company nomenclature and fits will with his stated goals.

Gabriel

Thank you! I enjoyed this chapter quite a lot!

Sebastian Viller

Overclocked Core Delving hue hue hue

Gave Delvers Guild rank 1, but I do like the sound of just Delve, which works, even if it is just the title of the novel.

Sebastian Viller

Just name their company 'Hello world!' and embrace the cringe

That comment under delvers was great. Thanks for the chapter! Feels like the story is really picking up steam. I can't wait to see what those dungeon plates can do.

Andrew Gardner

Thanks for the chapter. I would like to suggest "The Awakeners" or something similar to go with Rain's awaken the world plan.

Meh, i looked for 'constant vigilance' in the vote, pitty it wasnt in there. xD Liked amelias part. Shows she is pretty funny when she dosnt done the ice queen persona. =D

On page 8 hight should be height. And when describing the skin of Vanna could just say light brown instead of repeating skin. Thx 4 the chapter! Looking forward to the next one.

Newguy Roy

She /was/ had more power at her fingertips now than she’d had for years, “Face it, Val, [your] days of sneaking up on me are done.”

Robert

How about Delve?

Dragonkinn

How about 4th wall breaking "The Royal Road" for a name? Rising tide. Winds of Change (WOC) or call themselves Attention Deficit Disorder

Andrew

I think that the best name is simply Delvers or maybe just Delve to tie it into the story’s title. Delver’s Guild has too many problems starting with confusion with the guild.

Blaublue

Maybe Rain should reconsider letting reckless people join; that should be a bigger no-no than not having the same values as a young 2020 Westerner

ZaA

"Clarity" would be cool. It would hint towards his build but at the same time, denotes a good quality to have when it comes to roaming around and keeping people safe.

Newguy Roy

What about crystallize? Making the talents of people crystallize into greatness! Also nods towards the slimes

Michael Hughes

I was going to comment about "She was had" but Newguy Roy beat me to it. Great chapter today. It was good to see just how strong uncertain savior could be when you went back to old builds. I am sure Rain would love to try out builds for her to use. Earthbending was always my favorite. See you next time.

Adrian Gorgey

As always, love seeing how weird Rain seems from another perspective. I like this new direction, it feels fun. I really hope he learns how to manipulate screens so that he can create a "groupchat" feature, that would really cement this group as unique and fits into the thematic of Rain's aura powers. Another thing is that I get that Rain wants things to be "democratic", and I respect that, but in times of crisis that often just muddies the water. In those sorts of times, people want someone they can respect and who makes them feel safe. They want a real leader. I hope that Rain can learn how to be a leader, without losing his current adorkableness.

Adrian Gorgey

in terms of the "how" for the groupchat, right now we don't have a lot of ideas on how it could be accomplished, but Rain does have experience with connecting his soul directly to something else with Majistraal artifact, so I think that after educating himself on souls and palings and that weird meditation thing he's been doing to sense his soul, maybe he can figure it out.

Jeff091

not "Delver’s Guild" just "Delvers"

Anonymous

Ascention is the best on the list, however if we are getting an airship, a puppy named cloud, and an MC named Rain, the group should be something weather related. Thunderclap? Forecasters? (Multi-level pun) Hurricane group? Tornado Inc.? Tsunami?

Anonymous

Why not name it cloud company after the dog?

With macros being able to function at Soulspeed, Rain would theoretically be able to cast other people's skills. Provided he spends enough time observing/saving each skills mana movements to a macro in Soulspace.

Thomasaurus Rex

I liked just Delve, not with the guild or anything after. No need for a label, it's a nice shoutout to the title of the series and you don't have any adventures guild fiction cause it's not a "guild". Ascension in nice but seems a bit too self important for someone as self aware as Rain.

Yshua

I also like Cloud

What about "Blue Sky"

Ole Halvorsen

what about "Manifest Destiny"

Anonymous

What about Loveband? Because they're not a warband that wars, but a band that spreads love.

Ole Halvorsen

would also launch "Noblesse Oblige" from totally not gorm from discord. Also seems like a good name for the company

Anonymous

Stupid puns always make for better guild names. They're memorable, make people underestimate you, and help select for people you'd want to hang out with who have a sense of humor. It lets your recruits/employers/associates know what they're getting into and adjust expectations accordingly. "Deer Friends"/"Dear Friends" - It's like Tallheart's Fan Club only more groan inducing as a pun, shows that it's a 'friends and family' sort of group, and announces their support for Cervidians while keeping it ambiguous due to mixed lingo.

Ole Halvorsen

I have a grape with this name it is basically the exact same thing as adventure guild, and I think a naming scheme that close to the Adventure Guild would be a mistake. He needs something a bit deflecting and not as obvious.

Anonymous

Or 1) the Magnanimities, 2) the Seekers, 3) Cultivators, 4) the Soil Tillers, 5) Growth Companions, 6) the Freelords, 7) the Anti-Arseholes, 8) the Royal (Blue) Farmers, 9) Refuge, 10) Soul Divers/Soul Programmers

Maybe Crystal Clarity? Just taking it out of my fatigued mind from working.

I actually like Delve as a name. It would make the title make a lot more sense. In this massive story, the main character has only ever 'delved' like twice. IDelving just hasn't been a big part of the story so far.

Preferential voting is good shit

Imp

I like the naming list. Twas amusing. And Kettle is, indeed, the new Val.

How about Rain and the rainettes?

Heraclitus

Also, the chapter title almost gave me a heart attack. I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging it turned out to be. On another note: fuck Kettle. Can't he just bleed out in the dungeon like a gentleman. Nooooooo. He has to make a whole thing out of it. Bah.

Orion Dye

Well they are going to be delving, that’s reckless in and of itself.

Erasmo Simo

Yeah Delvers or Delving would be preferable to most of those. Alternatively you could go with Awakenings or something like that.

Kettle is the new Val!

The programmer finally gets his keyboard, now the real story begins. Was everything before this just the prologue...

Ziggy

One of the first things that I’m going to do is run a training course on how not to be a reckless jackass.”   “I feel like you’re talking to me,” Val said. Lmao yes. This. Great line, and much needed after dealing with certain foolhardy guilders.

It still feels too hasty. It's easy to understand Rain's reasons for wanting to establish a mini-guild, but there are so many things that should've been established before this. Feels like a ham-fisted way to have Rain to go through the pain of not being strong enough to do the things he wants to do after figuring out what those things are. But we the readers know that, and Rain knows that, and we KNOW that Rain knows that so why?

Anonymous

I'm just waiting for the scene where Rain has to hack into his own soul. Just that scene alone could be the basis of an entire fantasy genre, and we're the ones who get to experiance it first.

Anonymous

You could call it the Union. Like as in worker's union. Stand up for the rights of the little guys, right? And it fits the naming scheme of the bank, the watch, and the guild.

Moonspike

Rain is a support. He requires a group in order to reach his full potential, and everything until now shows why the existing organisations can't fill that role. After everything that just happened he has the social influence to start his own organization to fill that role.

Anonymous

Name Suggestion: 'The Cooporative'. A Cooporative is an organization run by the people it provides its services to. I think it goes well with Rain's goals.

I think the most appropiate name would be Delve bannermen. Being under a banner means that you pledge loyalty to it which is something reasonable to give to an organization who help you get stronger or awakened.

Ascension is too cheesy. Come on rain deal with your soul problems

Or you could trigger everyone and name it "Murica," lol

Maybe name it something clearly Latin, that way it could be a beacon for other people from Rain's original Earth.

Delver's Cooperative. It shows both the goal (delving) and institutionalizes Rain's democratic and social support interests.

Anonymous

I'm gonna second The Union. It works on its own quite well, and it carries the meaning Rain wants from a name. Also, I think Noblesse Oblige could be a great name, though there are obviously some potential translation/language issues with that one.

Anonymous

it was a little confusing to read once rain joined the conversation, i really couldnt follow what he said

Anonymous

Just caught up, and this has been a great story so far! I'm a little disappointed there's not going to be a clean break from Fel Sadanis though; I have to admit I was looking forward to new territory and travels. “Damn it, Kettel!” indeed. As for the group's name, I like Zero (and voted for it) but it's a bit hard to justify when literally only comprehensible to one person as a concept. Something like Foundation or The Foundation might work though as a stand in.

I really hate kettle, he needs to be left behind.
