God-Tier Extraction Talent: Reincarnated in a Game-like World!-Chapter 471: Assigning Roles [1] (Edited)

Inside one of the better mansions located in the more privileged part of the camp, the Lin sisters were already awake.

Unlike most of the newer members, they had not been moved into ordinary quarters after changing sides. Their mansion had remained untouched, partly because of their strength and partly because there had been no reason to take it from them. The building still stood in one of the better areas once reserved for Henry’s inner circle, though now the atmosphere around it had changed completely.

Lin Xuyi stood by the large window and looked outside at the camp below. From where she stood, she could see workers moving with more purpose, patrol routes being followed more seriously, and even people speaking in quieter tones than before. It had only been a few days since the power changed hands, yet the difference was already obvious.

She folded her arms and spoke without turning around.

"It has only been a few days, but the camp already feels different."

Behind her, Lin Xiyumi was seated calmly while adjusting the sleeve of her outfit. At her sister’s words, she gave a small nod.

"Yes."

Her tone was simple, but there was no hesitation in it.

Lin Xuyi kept her gaze on the view outside. "The guards are more serious now. Even the people walking around look less tense."

Lin Xiyumi stood and walked over slowly. "Because they know what to expect."

That was the biggest change.

Under Henry, everything had depended on mood, favor, and fear. Nobody knew when someone might be punished, replaced, or dragged away because they had offended the wrong person. The women especially had suffered under that kind of rule. Henry treated them like ornaments or rewards, never like useful people with their own value. That was one of the main reasons the Lin sisters had chosen to switch sides once the chance appeared.

Lin Xiyumi stopped beside her younger sister and looked out the same window.

"I regret ever doubting him at first," she said.

Lin Xuyi finally turned her head and looked at her. "That was normal."

Xiyumi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Xuyi shrugged. "Anyone would have doubted him at first. He came out of nowhere, moved too fast, and then started overturning everything. Being cautious was not wrong."

Xiyumi accepted that and gave a small nod. "Maybe."

Xuyi leaned lightly against the side of the window. "Besides, you were not the only one. I had doubts too."

That much was true.

Gabriel had not given them many reasons to trust him in the beginning beyond raw strength and confidence. But in the short time since taking control, he had already shown more order than Henry had ever maintained. More importantly, he had drawn clear lines without needing to turn the whole place into chaos.

Xiyumi spoke again. "At least we chose correctly."

Xuyi smiled faintly. There was no point saying more than that.

Both of them had already heard about the meeting. The message had reached them early that morning, and the wording alone told them this was not something casual. Only core members and those with enough standing had been invited. That meant whatever was about to happen would affect the structure of the camp directly.

Xuyi stepped back from the window. "We should get ready."

Xiyumi nodded once. "Yes."

The sisters did not waste time after that. They began preparing in silence, changing into cleaner clothes suited for a formal gathering rather than open combat. Neither of them knew exactly what Gabriel intended to announce, but both understood that appearances still mattered in a setting like this. If positions were truly about to be handed out, then every expression, every word, and every movement would be noticed.

By the time they finished, more people had already begun making their way toward the meeting hall.

The room chosen for the gathering had once been used by Henry for internal briefings, though now the atmosphere inside it was very different. Instead of fear and forced flattery, there was a restrained tension that came from uncertainty. One after another, the invited members entered, took their places, and quietly sized each other up.

Ragnarok99 came in early and chose a seat where he could watch the room clearly. Bunny arrived not long after and sat close enough to him for conversation. Sniperbowlegend entered a little later with the same calm look he always wore, as if he was attending a meal instead of something that could change the whole structure of the camp. The Lin sisters came in together and drew more than a few glances, though nobody openly said anything.

As more people filled the room, the reason for the meeting was finally confirmed.

Gabriel intended to assign official roles.

The moment that news settled across the room, the atmosphere shifted at once. Even those who had looked calm until then became more alert. Some sat straighter. Others exchanged brief glances. A few tried to hide their reactions, but the tension still spread quickly.

Nobody said it too loudly, but everyone understood what this meant.

Once positions were assigned, the camp would no longer be a loose force gathered around one strong leader. It would become something far more structured. Those chosen would gain not only authority but also direct access to Gabriel’s trust. Those overlooked would have to accept their place or work harder to rise later.

That alone was enough to make the room restless.

Speculation started almost immediately, though people kept their voices low.

"Who do you think will get captain positions?"

"Depends on how many there even are."

"He has to appoint someone over logistics too."

"What about patrol command?"

"Training squads too."

The whispers moved from one side of the room to the other. No one had exact answers, but that did not stop anyone from guessing. Some names came up more often than others. A few were obvious due to strength. Others were mentioned because they had already been active in organizing parts of the camp even before any title existed.

Still, among all the speculation, one opinion seemed nearly universal.

Sophie.

Even those who did not know her well still believed she would end up as second in command.

"She is the obvious choice."

"She has been with him for a while."

"She already handles a lot behind the scenes."

"If there is a vice leader position, it has to be her."

No one argued too strongly against that point.

Samantha the necromancer leaned slightly toward Ragnarok99 and spoke in a lower voice. "They all seem sure about Sophie."

Ragnarok99 gave a small nod. "Makes sense."

Sophie, who had heard the whispers from nearby, did not look especially invested. She simply rested back in her seat and looked toward the front of the room.

Cassie sat beside her with a smug expression, almost as if she was the one they were talking about instead of her master.

The room kept filling with low voices and careful guesses. Some people were anxious. Some were hopeful. Some were already thinking ahead about alliances, responsibilities, and future advantages. Nobody wanted to look too eager, but the tension could still be felt in every corner of the room.

Then, without warning, the door opened and Gabriel stepped in.
