《World's Strongest Troll》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 A reclusive genius Aputer room in a quiet countryside. It was filled withputers that were so worn out that even vendors would wave their hands at them even if they were to buy them second-hand. In the PC room, only the owner who was dozing at the counter and a child wearing a uniform from a nearby high school were the only ones. Jaeyoung! It''s 10 o''clock in 10 minutes from now. I have to go home. The owner, who suddenly woke up, nced at the clock and said, but Jaeyoung didn''t even hear that, focusing only on the monitor and moving the mouse and keyboard at breakneck speed, immersed in the game. Dudu-dou- Kwak Kwa-Kwa- AOS game that drove tremendous issues as the most popr game in the world. league of legends. ying the game in an unknown PC room in the countryside, he was dominating the battlefield with a control that surprised users around the world. -First Kill! -Double Kill! -Triple Kill! Jaeyoung eliminates 3 enemy heroes alone without the help of other allies. Comments filled with astonishment from countless people who were watching his y were constantly pouring in. -Crazy... You just caught all 3 by yourself? -Is that possible? I avoided all enemy skills while my HP was low. -Are you human? Reaction speed is not human? -As expected, Gad is... Gad. - KTS pride of being number 1 in the world rankings is not good today. People went wild watching Jaeyoung lead the game to victory. A truly staggering disparity. Since his opponent was KTS, a team famous for being ranked No. 1 in Korea or the world, people were enthusiastic with an even more explosive reaction. -But why didn''t Dex make his professional debut? -I see... If you have that level of physicality, it would be natural for you to rise to the top of the 100 million annual sry. - Dex hyung, please reveal your face. I''ll give you a donation. -Tell me at least a strategy through broadcasting. I''ll be sure to hit subscribe. 3 years ago. Dex, who appeared like aet and boasted an absurd record of 98% win rate, reigned as the strongest yer in the league of legends. Every single one of his ys created the meta of the game and boasted a huge influence, but no one actually knew his identity. Despite obsessive notes from numerous teams to recruit him as a pro gamer, Dex remained mystic and devoted himself to the game without replying anywhere. shit! won''t you do it right? If this loses, it''s really the dog''s side! Seong-jin, the leader of the KTS team, spurred the team members by shouting in an annoyed voice and swearing harshly. These are normal users randomly selected except for one dex! We''re all fucking shit, but what will people think of us if we lose because of one Dex? Are you out of your mind? His angry cry made the team members'' shoulders shrink, but there was no way to change the atmosphere of the already losing game. Sung Sung Jin! This gap has already widened too much.... Even if we continue to engage here, we''ll probably just hold out... Damn it! Won''t you shut up? Are you talking nonsense when you haven''t finished anywhere? Did the team member''s words touch Seong-jin''s heart? He mmed the keyboard violently and red at the teammate who had said that with a look that would prey on him. If I grabbed you guys by the cor and dragged them up to the top, wouldnt they get better at least a little? How did you create a situation like this because you couldnt even serve one person properly? what? hey! Seongjin Lee! Did you say everything? As if his pride was hurt by Sungjins words, another team member threw off his headset and shouted. Even if you hadn''t challenged Dex to decide who was the best in the world in the first ce, this situation wouldn''t havee. What are you ming your teammates for when you y and lose? This bastard...! Hey kids, why are you suddenly like this again? The game isn''t over yet. The KTS team has be a mess with Seong-jin savagely grabbing his teammates and the people who stop him. And Jaeyoung, unaware of the situation, silently tapped the keyboard and led the game to aplete victory. [Nexus destroyed.] [Blue team wins!] -Wow... did you really beat this? - Crazy. - The other four must have really enjoyed the ride. -Bus driver level ??? The KTS team''s Nexus was destroyed and the users who watched them lose live were shocked. And soon it started to show conflicting reactions. -As expected Dex! i thought i would win - The reverse has exploded. It''s analysis, it''s nabal, and if you bet only on Dex, you win unconditionally. -I love you, Dex hyung. With admirers of Dex taking over the game almost single-handedly and winning. -KTS must be really embarrassing. Only then can they say that they are the world''s number one team. -Sungjin challenged Dex in every broadcast interview, and he was punished in the end, right? - Hahahahahaha I''m going to keep my mouth shut now. Doesn''t it cause a fight just by ying Dex''s deck? As people who mock the KTS team that failed to beat a single Dex and lost mercilessly. However, Jaeyoung left a chat in the game waiting room with an expression as if he was not impressed. [You seem to have had a lot of fun with thest game. Everyone had fun during that time.] -??? st game? You mean today is the end? People who saw Jaeyoung''s chatting stopped thinking for a moment. However, before anyone could ask, Jaeyoung said what he had to say and ended the connection. [As of today, the League of Legends will be closed. Have fun everyone. I''m going to go now.] -Wait, are you really folding? -Suddenly, all of a sudden, what does that mean? -Dex hyung What are you talking about... Are you kidding? Seeing thements from the viewers pouring like mad, Jaeyoung calmly stood up. Im going, mister. Thank you so much. The owner of the PC room nced at Jaeyoung and nodded slightly. OK. Is today thest? yes. I decided to go to Seoul tomorrow. At Jaeyoung''s words, the owner of the PC room muttered in an unexpected voice. The guy I meet who goes straight to this ce after school ends up going to college and escaping from this corner of the country. Congrattions boy. Still, Ille over to y once in a while during vacation. Still, as if they had grown fond of seeing each other''s faces for three years, the owner of the PC room looked at Jaeyoung with a slightly regretful expression and gave him sincere advice. Since I went to university, I y games in moderation now. Study hard and seed. sure. The moment I open the door and Jaeyoung is about to leave. Suddenly, as if curious, he shouted behind Jaeyoung. Ah, but what is your department? At that question, Jaeyoung stopped his steps and turned his head to smile at him. Thats Computer Science. At Jaeyoung''sst words, the owner of the PC room looked nkly at the doorway he had left for a long time, then let out a deep sigh and muttered: Won... Its like that terrible game addiction. After all,puters never let go. The owner of the PC room, who was very worried about Jaeyoung''s future, looked around the empty PC room and licked his lips. Shit... Im not in a position to worry about anyone else. My business seems to be ruined right away. Then he turned his gaze back to the TV on one side of the counter. On TV, there was an advertisement for the first virtual reality game that has been heating up the world for a while now. [Are you tired of the existing routine?] Beautiful natural scenery that seemed like reality passed by quickly on the TV. And a dreamy tone of voice was whispering to him. [Do you want to get another chance in the world of infinite possibilities?] An advertisement that you have already seen dozens of times. However, every time he saw this advertisement, he shuddered with the unknown excitement and curiosity that welled up in his heart. [Invite you to Arcadia, the world of fantasy.] Arcadia, the world''s first virtual reality. This virtual reality game, which was developed by the world''s leadingpany Ajin Electronics Corporation Argos and Silico in a top-secret coboration, was receiving tremendous attention and attention from around the world. Come to think of it, the release date is just around the corner. Although the service has already started in the US, theunch in Korea was dyed due to theck of supply of Dreamer'', a device that allows ess to virtual reality. Amid tremendous urging and protests from people, theunch of the service in Korea is finally imminent. However, the Inte was full of y reviews full of rave reviews from American users. - Holy Shit. this is not a game It''s a new reality! - Thank God I can live in these times. -It''s fucking fun. I can no longer imagine a world without this. Users who read their y reviews have been waiting for the official serviceunch in Korea until now in anticipation ofmentation. Would you rather close the PC room and set up a virtual reality room? Just by looking at people''s reactions on the Inte, it was predictable that Arcadia wouldpletely dominate the game industry even as a person who runs a PC room in a small vige. It was foretold that a great revolution would take ce not only in PC rooms but also in the entire game world. He, too, was now at a crossroads of choice to keep pace with the changing times. Eh. It''s done. How much does it cost to bring in new equipment? It is a small rural town with less than 1,000 students. He shook his head and murmured, thinking that it would be hard to find even if he poured out loans and changed new devices in such a ce. That''s how the owner of the PC room dazedly immersed himself in the TV again. Only the sound of the TV echoed in the PC room where no one came. * * * After arriving in Seoul, Jaeyoung immediately went to the rented house he had looked for in advance around the school. Then he started talking to the curly-looking old woman. Lets see... Is your name Yoon Jae-young? yes. that''s right. A tall, handsome friend. Are you attending a university near him? yes. I entered Seomin University this year. At those words, thendlord''s grandmother looked at him nkly and said, I guess you didnt study as much as you thought? Do you know it''s a bad school there... This may have been a bit unpleasant, but Jaeyoung nodded casually and said. I wasnt very interested in studying, so I did it in moderation. At that, the grandmother nodded as if she was not interested. Yeah.... These days, I''m told that it''s not a world where people live by just studying. Anyway, the monthly rent here is 30, and the facilities are... honestly, not that good. does not matter. I''ll do it here. Significantly cheaper pricepared to studios in the vicinity of the university. However, looking at the facilities in the room, which seemed to have gone well for decades, none of them were in perfect condition, the prices were on the expensive side. Maybe that''s why the grandmother, who couldn''t find a tenant for a long time, said with a bright smile when Jaeyoung nodded. Its good that the young man is cool. Then I''ll be gone, so if you have any questions, feel free to call me. After the grandmother closed the door, Jaeyoung sat down in the small room for a while and looked around. And as if waiting for something, he continued to fiddle with his phone. And not long after, someone started knocking on the front door. I am from Arcadia. Jaeyoung Yoon Do you have a customer? Jaeyoung opened the door as if he had been waiting for those words. He whimpered and faced the two men carrying a huge box. yes. I am Jaeyoung Yoon. Im here to install the equipment you ordered. Where can I install it? In response to the sweaty and frowning knight''s question if he could not bear the weight, Jaeyoung led them inside and pointed to one side of the empty room. Please install it over here. yes. All right. Then could you fill out these papers while we do the instation work? While the staff who put down the box with a heavy sound were busy working on something, Jaeyoung started filling out the documents they handed over. [Virtual reality ess device high-end capsule dreamer installment contract.] Unlike entry-level devices, high-end devices boast a tremendous price of 30 million won. However, despite the terrifying price, Jae-young did the job without hesitation. While filling out the documents for a long time, as if the instation work was almost finished, an employee approached Jaeyoung and briefly checked the documents. You purchase the device with 36-month installments, and the midterm contract can be terminated up to 3 months in advance. Refunds are not possible due to simple change of mind. The maximum warranty period is two years. How much do you have to pay each month? Hmm... In the case of you, I think you will incur a monthly fee of 920,000 won. At the employee''s words, Jaeyoung thought about something for a moment, then muttered to himself in a small voice. Hmm... then I canst up to six months. Your customer? it''s nothing. Is the instationplete? ah! yes Now you should be able to use it without any problems. thank you. After Jaeyoung handed over thepleted documents to the staff, he couldn''t take his eyes off the luxurious looking capsule installed in the room. For customers who purchase high-end devices, we are providing a 3-month free service of Virtual Reality Arcadia. Please refer to this point and hope to use it a lot in the future. Have a nice day. Looking at Jaeyoung nkly looking at the capsule, the staff left with a slightly proud expression. And Jaeyoung, with an expression possessed by something, entered the capsule and operated the device. Wei Ying. Hearing the high-pitched sound in his ears and feeling like falling asleep in an instant, Jaeyoung heard the dreamy tone of his voice. [Wee to the fantasy world of Arcadia.] A monstrous situational judgment and physical genius. One person invincible. The hermit in the veil. League of Legends Unofficial World Ranking #1 Dex. Jaeyoung, who swept theputer game world amidst the admiration and curiosity of countless people, entered a new world. Arcadia, the world''s first virtual reality game. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Searching for Hidden Peace (1) Virtual reality. A virtual world in which all senses can be digitally implemented to provide a realistic experience as the machine is directly connected to the brain and exchanges all information in real time. To say that it was embodied in reality was no mere bluff. What is this... Jaeyoung eximed involuntarily at the unbelievable sense of reality that it was a game. The warm sun beating down on you and the gentle breeze on your face. Looking at the crowd of people busily moving around the square, Jaeyoung muttered nkly. Selling health recovery potions! Who wants to go hunting? It''s a daily quest party to collect 100 Slime Cores! I buy iron ore: I buy all of it. 50 Bronze each! Among the crowded users, there were people like Jaeyoung who seemed to have logged in for the first time, but there were also quite a few who had already adapted to the game and moved quickly. Interfaces... are not asplicated as I thought. In addition to people andndscapes, Jaeyoung''s field of vision showed foreign things. Familiar status windows that have been seen in the RPG game Leaf Story, which was popr until recently. Looking at them, Jaeyoung was able to adapt to the game by opening various windows without anyone telling him. First of all, I''ll have to deal with the beginner''s quest. As in any other game, only a worn-out sword and a few health potions were thrown into the inventory as basic equipment, and a quest was shining in the quest window as if asking for a quick solution. [Beginner Adaptation Quest - 1] - Defeat the slime. 0/1 ....more unfriendly than expected. Jaeyoung muttered to himself as if he was a bit annoyed when he saw that the quest developer was bothered a lot, and there was no reward or location written, just a rough description of the mission. Then he started wandering around looking for an exit out of town. After starting the game, it was the duty and right of a beginner to finish and watch the tutorial. * * * Arcadia. A virtual reality game servicepany established by Ajin Electronics, Argos, and Silicoff with a 33.3% stake. Although thepany was created less than half a year ago, its financial power, reputation, and influence on the industry as a whole were growing so powerfully that no one could ignore it. How are the users essing the Korean side? The number of real-time visitors exceeded 900,000! The number of subscribers has exceeded 1.5 million. As soon as the service started, the number of subscribers and visitors exploded as if they had waited. Because of that, the entirepany, which had just been established in Korea, was running around without a break to eat and couldn''t wake up. Except for Kang Hyuk-soo, the head of the customer center team, who is responsible for the smooth operation of Arcadia andmunication with customers. He asked as he took a sip of coffee and nced at the numbers on the screen. Is there any particr problem? There are many inquiries from customers, but most of them are simple inquiries rted to connector operation or use. We have not yet received any inquiries about problems with the game. Hearing that, Kang Hyuk-soo nodded his head as if he was d. The management and development team leaders said at the meeting today that if there are any bugs or system-rted inquiries in the game, please report them immediately. Manager Kang Hyuk-soo muttered to himself in amazement as he nodded at his words and looked at his subordinates who were busily working again. It was like that before, and it still is, its really amazing. Does it make sense that so many people are ying at the same time and there is no problem... Having worked for arge gamepany for over ten years before being scouted by Arcadia, he has been eating on this floor for over ten years. I was in awe of the potential of the Arcadia-operated server to handle the number of visitors and traffic. In the US alone, the number of concurrent users has already exceeded 10 million, so it is gaining immense poprity. In such a situation, millions of users were flooding in again, but the n of the upper line had no time to rest. They say they are nning to open the service in China and India in a little while, but I wonder how the heck they are going to amodate that many users... Its okay to wait until it stabilizes to a certain extent, but in a system operated with one global server, back and forth It waspletely iprehensible to themon sense of Kang Hyuk-soo and the servers and systems that handled all the traffic without any problems even with those who did not cover and only nned expansion, or those ridiculous ns. Well... It''s not a problem for me to worry about anyway, but what. The more he thought about it, the more he became suspicious, so Hyuk-soo shook his head and let go of his thoughts. His job is simply to listen to theints of game users and respond appropriately. He didn''t have to worry about anything more than that, so he enjoyed a cup of coffee on this peaceful afternoon. Considering the scale of the game, it is safe to say that there are noints and inquiries. Hyuk-soo smiled pleasantly as he thought of his leisurely situation, unlike the managers of other departments who were crazy busy. But he didn''t know the huge typhoon that wasing at him. * * * Arcadia is not a very friendly game. It is another world where numerous continents and various city-states exist, and countless life forms transcending races prospered and died. That''s why there are interesting stories and quests everywhere, there are a lot of things to explore, and there is the possibility of finding great treasures and important quests in unexpected ces, so the ability of yers to excavate them is important. Hmm... Jaeyoung sat in the library and frowned as he stared at the book. With this, ten books areplete... As soon as he turned thest page and closed the book, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoungs eyes. [Read 10 bookspleted quest.] [Intelligence has increased by 1 as a reward.] Read 10 books, one of the beginner quests. Just reading all the books the librarian gives you increases your intelligence by 1, so it''s popr because you can raise your stats with a butt. In fact, it is not that easy to read ten books, but since it is possible toplete just a cursory nce without reading the contents properly, most peopleplete the quest in less than 30 minutes and leave the library. However, Jaeyoung sat down and carefully read the book the librarian handed her. He read the books slowly and carefully, as if he were memorizing them, and in thest tenth book, Jaeyoung was able to find a strange passage. [The oldest traces of darkness that brought about the Dark Age of the Arcadia continent were ironically foundst in Adelin, where everyone announces a new beginning. So...] If it''s Edelin, it''s right here... A beginner''s vige that everyone goes through. Learning through this book that this ce where Jaeyoung is now was called Adelin in the past, Jaeyoung suddenly looked down at the cover of the book he was reading. [History of Arcadia - 1] It was a clue that only an ignorant reader could find in this book that describes the overall history of Arcadia, and anyone would just yawn and cover it up. And unfortunately, the book ended just at that part, so I couldn''t find any more information. However, Jaeyoung couldn''t ovee his curious curiosity and approached the librarian who was dozing off while enjoying the warm sunlight. hey. Uh... Huh? why? Jaeyoung put down the thick book he had just read in front of the librarian who woke up in amazement. Where are these two books by any chance? What what? Volume 2? Why is that all of a sudden? No, there was something interesting in Volume 1, but I think there will be additional information about it in Volume 2. Interesting content? The oldest vestige of Edelin. The librarian opened his hazy eyes wide in surprise at Jaeyoung''s answer, and looked at the book and Jaeyoung''s face alternately as if in amazement. Then he muttered with admiring exmations. Wow... there are people who really read that book. yes? Jaeyoung tilted his head at the strange situation where the librarian at the library said that it was strange for visitors to read books, but he didn''t mind and continued talking. Among the people whoe here to read books in the first ce, I have never seen anyone who reads them properly. Everyone swayed and looked at the bookshelves and left. I have never seen a guy like you who has finished reading a book and is looking for the next one because he is curious about the next one. Then, the librarian opened the desk drawer, pulled out a thick book, and pushed it in front of Jaeyoung. There are two volumes here, so just read them to your hearts content and bring them back. Ah... yes. thank you. Jaeyoung hesitated and picked up the book when the librarian took out two books from the drawer as if he had been waiting for them. Then, as he returned to his seat, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to ask the librarian. Hey, but why did you keep 2 books in the drawer? Unlike the other books that were openly ced on the bookshelf as if to take out and read at will, the two books that were kept in his drawer. The librarian smiled and muttered to Jaeyoung at the question asked out of a strange sense of heterogeneity, as if it were a nned situation. It''s a special book that onlyes out on request. * * * While Jaeyoung was flipping through books in Arcadia for a long time, Alice, an artificial intelligence program that contemtes everything in Arcadia, was watching and analyzing the y of countless users. Watching without missing any trivial things to see what consequences their actions will bring, and granting quests and rewards ordingly when a certain causal rtionship is established in their actions. In order to turn the vast world of Arcadia into a game, she was constantly processing huge amounts of information in real time, and a special variable was detected. [Edelin, a beginner vige. Unusual matter detected.] [Hidden Quest granted condition fulfilled.] [Specify the target yer as the target of analysis first.] The oldest trace of darkness that brought about the Dark Age of the Arcadia Continent. And from the moment Alice recognized the keywords rted to Adelin and received Book 2 from the librarian, Alice began to keep an eye on Jae-Young. [The oldest trace of darkness is said to have been hidden by Ezul, a legendary adventurer at the time, in a nearbyke. Of course, no one actually found traces of darkness there, and since then it has been forgotten and no one has been able to find anyone talking about it. Also.....] If it''s by thekeside around here... Jaeyoung, who was diligently digging through the book, eventually found the information he wanted, and opened the map of the continent drawn in volume 1 to see what was mentioned in volume 2. I went out to find thekeside where it was. Then he pointed to a ce on the map with his finger and murmured. There is only Lake Erun...? Theke is notrge and is often visited by locals to enjoy peace while fishing. It was not very popr with yers because it was just a ce to take a break where you couldn''t find a single monster. It''s not easy to think that clues exist in such a ce, but as soon as Jaeyoung mentioned Lake Erun, Alice calcted numerous variables and possibilities and made a final decision. [Satisfying the final conditions for creating a quest.] [Creates a quest rted to rted clues.] Ellis, who determined that all the requirements for creating a quest were met, began to analyze the difficulty and impact of the quest to be created ordingly. [Quest Difficulty B. Influence A.] A quest with an A-level ripple effectpared to the difficulty of solving it. If it were a normal developer, she would have forced the creation of quests, but she, an artificial intelligence, did not. Whatever the oue of this quest, the story of Arcadia is a world created and written by yers. And because she is an artificial intelligence who is fair to anyone and a thorough principled person. [Quest grade B+.] [Trigger activation of the main scenario.] [yer dex. Analysis priority level 1.] After the quest was granted, Alice''s calction ability began to operate at a high level. To predict and analyze all the events and scenarios that will ur and be created by a single user''s action without thinking. * * * [The quest has been created.] Eh? Jaeyoung, who was lost in thought while reading a book, made a stupid expression at the message that suddenly popped up in front of him. Then, he moved his hand to check the message. [Quest Finding the Traces of Darkness] - Found a document that says that Lake Erun has the oldest traces of darkness. Check if this literature is true and look for traces of it. 0/1 Short, unfriendly quest description. However, Jaeyoung smiled while reading the contents of the quest. And he spat out a heartfelt exmation. Wow... thats really cool. The history of Arcadia, which was written incredibly extensively. And he was looking for the next volume with a clue hidden in it and a trivial curiosity. The perverted level of detail and meticulousness of the Arcadia developers who anticipated his actions and hid the quest gave me goosebumps. Is this a level that can be called a real game...? I wanted to pay homage to Argos and Ajin Electronics Silicorp, who developed these games, in that they didn''t miss even the smallest details, while being filled with a world view and settings that were too vast to be considered a game of a general scale. Its getting funnier. The moment Jae-young, who is intrigued, gets up from her seat and moves with her eyes twinkling. The Korean branch, which was in charge of Arcadia''s Korean service, was shocked by the sudden notification. [Main scenario creation.] [Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Begins.] This is because the main scenario, which could not be created even in the US, where the service started a few months ago, first started in Korea, less than a week after the service started. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Searching for Hidden Peace (2) Lake Erun is located not far from the beginner''s vige. Theke was very small, and there were no monsters at all, so only herbivores grazing peacefully around it were asionally seen. There is something hidden here somewhere... Jaeyoung started wandering along the edge of theke looking for something special. In order to find the oldest traces of darkness that have been mentioned in the books he has read. However, from the outside, nothing unusual could be found on the shore of theke. Theke is so small that you can go around it in less than 10 minutes on foot. If something tremendous is hidden in such an unsightly ce, it''s even more strange that it hasn''t been found so far. There doesnt seem to be anything unusual around theke, so whats left... Jaeyoung, who wandered around theke carefully for a long time, concluded that there was nothing there and muttered as he looked at the center of theke where the waves gently swayed. Is it in theke? Jaeyoung thought about something for a while, then took a deep breath and threw himself into theke without hesitation. Ssh - Jae -young, who threw herself into the water creating arge ssh, was taken aback by the scene inside theke, which was different from what she had imagined. what? Why is it so deep?'' At first nce from the outside, it was so short that it could be called a pond. However, inside it was so deep that it was unfathomable unlike what it looked like on the outside. Jaeyoung continued to dive towards the bottom of the pond where the light could not reach. To find the clue to the quest. * * * What the hell is this? What is the main scenario? An emergency meeting called upon notification that the main scenario has been created. At the meeting, which started with everyone unable to hide their embarrassment at the unexpected situation, Kwon Myeong-han, the general manager of the Korean branch of Arcadia, asked. The Quest Analysis team is focusing their efforts on checking the situation right now. A quick report on what we''ve learned so far... It appears that one of the yers has touched certain elements rted to the main scenario of the game. A specific element? How the hell could a main scenario be triggered by touching something on a continent that hasnt even been opened for a week? The executive director, who had rmended the person in charge''s report, asked again with a frown as if he couldn''t understand at all. Then the person in charge opened his mouth as if he was embarrassed with a rotten expression. That''s because we don''t have the authority to confirm what kind of element it is... We''ve requested the Arcadia headquarters to read detailed information. main scenario. Numerous users enjoy various types of y ording to their own purposes all over the huge continent of Arcadia. However, the impact of their y is usually so small that it is limited to the town or city where they stay. It was just to deal with the surrounding monsters that harassed the vigers instead or to provide necessary items. However, if it is judged that the user''s y has a huge impact enough to change the entire continent of Arcadia beyond a simple city or country, Alice, who is in charge of Arcadia, regtes the y. With one content called Main Scenario''. ...Im going crazy. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who was muttering while rubbing his forehead with his hand as if his head was pounding, pondered for a long time. Until he spoke, the heads of each department in the conference room only looked at each other, but no one spoke. First... let''s report this matter to the boss. Each department is thoroughly prepared to respond immediately to emergency situations, and for matters that are updated and uploaded to the main scenario, report directly to me immediately. Got it? All right. At the direction of the executive director, the department heads nodded their heads in unison and left the conference room in a hurry. The executive director, who was left alone in the empty conference room after everyone had gone out, muttered something absurd as he read the brief report in front of him. This is one.... The fact that the main scenario was created from the 4th day of opening. After all, it should be called Korea..... Considering that no unusual situation has urred in the continent where American users y in the situation where the service started for more than 3 months, Koreans are more creative than any other country when ites to games. He was able to realize once again that the public evaluation that he was famous for his crazy y was true. Besides... the forgotten darkness in its infancy''. The title is also true..... Looking at the age of 50 now, the title of the scenario created this time is really..... It was a childish title full of second graders. * * * Peaceful Lake Erun. Theke, where no one is looking for and people are rare, usually boasts a smooth and calm surface like a mirror, but today, loud bubbles continue to rise. Pooh. Jaeyoung rises out of the water and inhales vigorously. He exhaled heavily and looked at the status window that appeared in front of him. [The skill Dive'' has risen to B rank.] [You can dive deeper for a long time.] [HP increases by 1.] Its filthy hard to rank up. It''s been 3 days since I started diving in Lake Erun. All that time was invested in diving, but Jaeyoung still couldn''t see the bottom of theke. What kind ofke is this deep? I think I''ve gone down about 200m, but there''s still no bottom? Contrary to its appearance, this filthy deep Lake Erun, as if it were a Maria or a trench, was not as easy as Jaeyoung thought. After 3 days of only diving, the rank went up to B beyond creating skills, but the end was still not in sight. Should I just give up.... If you give me a reward like a piece of shit after doing this, I''m really losing a lot. Others are hunting for one damage, focusing on leveling up, and working hard to take the lead in the early days of the opening. However, Jaeyoung was wasting time diving at that important time. It was an even more important time in his situation, where he had to develop his character to the point where he could afford to pay 920,000 won in monthly capsule installments within six months, not anyone else. However, Jaeyoung could not easily give up on this quest. This clue hidden in the beginner''s quest was easy, but maliciously designed so that most ordinary people have no choice but to skip it. Ordinary people don''t want to know the fictional history that happened in the game. I just thought about breaking the quest and getting the reward, so I just flipped through the book and left. So Jaeyoung could be sure that it was the first clue he found and that it was a hidden quest hidden in the game. Besides, even the librarian said that no one had asked about the second volume until now... Although he wasnt sure exactly what quest it was rted to yet, Jaeyoung could feel it. The intuition that his natural talent for games keeps sending him that he should never give up. So, Jaeyoung felt a little nervous thinking about the capsule price of 30 million won, but thinking that he had alreadye too far to give up, he took a deep breath and went into theke. Jaeyoung, who continued to swim down into the blinding darkness, made a promise to himself. If the reward is nothingpared to the hard work, I will one day fill thiske with soil without a trace. * * * Silico. One of the three giants that developed Arcadia and the chairman of the world''s leading biopharmaceuticalpany was none other than 15-year-old Jenica Paul. After her grandfather, Silicoff Paul, the first president of Silicoff, copsed from aggravated illness, Jenica literally triumphed over the executives who scrambled to take his ce in a bloody conspiracy and secret n. And after taking the throne of his grandfather, he developed numerous innovative medicines with strong charisma and matching research skills, and his ability was recognized by the public. However, apart from her ability, people who knew her words and ways of thinking, who grew up rough, would talk behind her back. The second craziest guy in the world. After receiving the report from Korea, she entered theboratory with a disheveled hair and asked. The main scenario was created in Jack Korea. What do you mean by that? To Jennica''s question, a boy who looked her age in the monitor picture answered with a funny expression. [A Korean user found a clue to a hidden ss that was hidden in the Beginner''s Vige. As a result of Alice''s analysis of the rted aftermath, she decided that it was highly likely to lead to the main scenario.] When did we put an element that had such a big impact on the beginner''s vige? Zenika opened her eyes narrowly as if she couldn''t understand and checked the relevant data, and immediately frowned. And seeing her like that, Jack smiled. [It was not put in by us, but by that guy''.] That bastard... Jenica gritting her teeth as if she''d get a fever just thinking about it. She murmured impatiently. I really will one day infect that damn bastard with a mutant AIDS virus. Somehow, the other day, he said he wanted to participate in the main scenario, and this kind of modification... Zenika carefully checked what elements that guy'' made while scrolling down, and then said as if it was absurd. A wandering song in the hidden ss turmoil? What the hell is this? [The guy said it was a job he designed himself. It''s a job with a very unique concept, but I think the y will be different depending on who acquires it.] At Jack''s words, she tilted her head as if she didn''t understand. ording to what is stated here, there is no concept of level and no attack ability at all... Can I y this game? [There is a special ability instead.] Special ability? Wait a minute... such crazy...! Jennica read the description at the end of the document and involuntarily spat out curse words. After that, his expression continued to change. No, what kind of character direction is this... like a dog. no. If that bastard made it, it''s really just right. Jack asked with a smile as he looked at Jenica, who mumbled something nonsensical but then nodded as if she understood. [how will we do it? Are you nning to intervene?] I don''t like it... but I should let it go. A promise is a promise, even if it''s a promise with that bastard. Jenika, who got up from her seat with a face full of annoyance, muttered to herself. It seems like a job that you can''t even y normally unless you''re a crazy bastard like that bastard. At Jenica''s words, Jack smiled strangely and looked down. The image of Jaeyoung, who finally reached the deep bottom of Lake Erun and slowly rummaged through the bottom. Jack''s eyes were shining with anticipation and interest,pared to her muttering all sorts of annoying curses about making a promise to a madman. [Well... I''m also curious about what kind of y he will show.] With anticipation for the story that will be written in his world, which will be created and changed by this one yer. As Arcadia''s chief developer and creator. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Mad Developer In many games that exist in the world, you can discover elements hidden by the developer. From simple pranks created by developers to fraudulent elements that can have a powerful impact on y. We call them Easter eggs or Hidden Pieces. Jaeyoung appeared in the rushing waves . With a breathless face, he exhaled forcefully, but immediately shouted as if he had done it. OMG! I finally found it...! [The skill Dive'' has risen to rank A.] [Health has increased by 5.] [Affinity with Water attribute has increased by 10.] [You can dive to very deep ces.] I have only been diving in Lake Erun. Day 10. Jaeyoung was finally able to reach the bottom of theke after his diving skill rose to A rank. And after digging around the bottom of theke for a while, he finally found a hidden clue. [You havepleted the quest Finding the Traces of Darkness''.] - You have found a document stating that Lake Erun has the oldest traces of darkness. Check if this literature is true and look for traces of it. 1/1 Still, it''s a shame because it''s a smallke. If it was a little bigger, it would have taken longer. It wasn''t just at the bottom of theke, and what Jaeyoung found while digging deep into the mud was a small ne. A ne in a seemingly crude form. However, the ck stone embedded in the center of the ne had a feeling that it looked profound even at a nce. This ne is the clue... Jaeyoung, who came out of theke dripping with water, murmured as she carefully inspected the ne in her hand. And then a window appeared in front of his eyes. [You have acquired the quest reward ck Ne''.] A ck ne that is both a clue and a reward for the quest. However, this ne was unusually not a piece of equipment, but a consumable. After opening the interface window, Jaeyoung checked the ck ne lying in the consumables window, not the equipment window, and pressed the icon. [ck Ne] Contains unknown ancient power. If you ever use this item, you will need to think for a long time. -Cannot be sold, exchanged, or destroyed. ..... A phrase that goes beyond a very unkind exnation and gives a feeling that it should not be used. In addition, Jaeyoung was at a loss for words after confirming that it was a permanent belonging item. What do you mean use this or not? No, if you cant even trade in the first ce, you have no choice but to use it. Jaeyoung, who had a strong desire to see the face of the developer who made such an item, touched his fingers as if he was slightly worried. I have already invested a long time to get this small ne. Jaeyoung put her finger on the icon on the ck ne because it was too waste of time and effort to bury it because it was ufortable to use now. [Do you want to use the ck ne''?] When asked if he would like to use the item, Jaeyoung raised his finger to Yes. But a new phrase came to mind again. [Do you really want to use the ck ne''?] ...? When a window asking whether to use it again appeared, Jaeyoung clicked Yes as if it was absurd. Then another window appeared. [Do you really want to use the ck ne''?] [Use really really realu.....] [Use it for thest question.....] [No, but really think about it before using it..... ] [Even if I regret it, I can''t take it back. Really use it.....] Jaeyoung frowned as if he was annoyed as he continued to press the windows that came to mind. No use! Why do you keep asking me? Jaeyoung, who kept pressing Yes with grit to see who would win, let out a ridiculousugh at thest phrase that came to mind. [Are you just pressing it right now? I know everything.] Ah.... Really, who made this? I want to see the developer''s face. A text that seems to make fun of him. However, the text soon disappeared and a new window popped up. [Well... If you''ve checked this far, you seem to have a strong will to use the item... So let''s stop asking. I''m sure by now you''re cursing who made this, but don''t regret it in the future. I kept asking as much as I could.] A phrase as if talking to oneself. In the phrase that seemed to have anticipated and nned this situation, Jaeyoung was ovee with strange anxiety as he felt both yfulness and madness at the same time. And before he could react, the ne in his hand suddenly began to resonate and rise into the air. Ugh- What is this... Suddenly, a huge amount of ck mist started pouring out of the ne. And when the fog enveloped Jaeyoung''s body in an instant and covered his vision with darkness, he clearly heard the voice of a yful child whispering in his ear. [Please do your best in the future. Just like I''m doing now.] He couldn''t understand the meaning at all, but when he heard the voice, he could immediately tell that the owner of the voice was the developer who made this ne. And he whispered to Jaeyoung as if he was really looking forward to it. [I''ll watch from the outside, the story of this world you''re making.] And countless texts began to appear in front of Jae-young''s eyes. [I changed to the hidden ss Bard of Anarchy.] [The level system is deleted.] [The stat usibility is acquired.] [ The mission system is added.] [The character is permanently bound to the yer. It will.] The ne and the ck mist disappeared without a trace. And at the phrase that he suddenly changed to a hidden ss, Jaeyoung stood in a daze at Lake Erun for a long time. He had yed many games before, but it was the first time in his 20 years of short life that he had gone through such a crazy job change process. * * * Jaeyoung, who was lost for a while, began to grasp the situation step by step. [usibility] The ability to intervene in this world can be increased. If you artificially distort thew using that stat, the stat will be permanently destroyed. ...What kind of bullshit is this? New stats that you can''t understand even after reading dozens of times. Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh at the unkind and esoteric exnation to the extent that he had no idea what it was. The new stats were also a problem, but there was a bigger problem than that. No, why did the level disappear again? Levels are the basic system of RPG games. As with other games, the basic character development system in which you acquire experience points and grow and be stronger through leveling up was applied in Arcadia as well. Jae-young raised her former level to 10 while clearing the beginner''s quest. However, the system interface where the level was written had disappeared neatly, as if it never existed. This is a bit serious... Basically, through leveling up, various basic stats increase and the character bes stronger, but the character Jaeyoung is ying is deprived of such a basic training system. Even if there is not a big difference right now, it is obvious that the gap with his character will widen as the average level of other users increases. Is this why the character belongs permanently... At the time of the job change, he did not understand thest phrase, but Jae-young, who even tried deleting the character, soon realized that even that was impossible and despaired. The back of Jaeyoung''s head tingled at the behavior of the developer, who fed a huge amount of taffy and erased all means to escape as if he could not be bitten again. I knew there was no way to do it other than quitting the game, but I couldn''t do it considering the huge installments of the capsules I had to pay in the future. I should have stopped at that crazy confirmation phrase earlier... Jaeyoung continued to think that he had been bitten by a developer with perverted tastes, but he couldnt hold back his curiosity andmented that he had pushed his finger to the end. He let out a deep sigh. And suddenly a message popped up in front of his eyes. [New mission has been updated.] ...Mission? A new mission window that appeared after changing jobs to a hidden ss. It was empty earlier, but he pressed the shiny window that appeared before he knew it, and his face stiffened as he read the content, like a letter intentionally left by the developer. [Mission. 1] His name is a wanderer in a turbulent world, but doesn''t Arcadia look so peaceful right now? This is why Nick value... No, can we say it''s job value? How a thirsty man digs a well. If the world is peaceful, you just have to make it unpeaceful yourself. Do your best to wreak havoc on the newbie vige for the time given. Jaeyoung was at a loss for words at the logic that seemed like a crazy idea for a developer, but after seeing the contents of the mission, he was even more speechless. [Killing beginners] Killing newbie users who have not changed jobs. -Number of novices killed: 0 -Time left: 6 days 23 hours 55 minutes 24 seconds. It''s really crazy..... PK is basically an important content for RPG games. However, it is taboo in any game to harass a new user like a green sprout who has just started ying. If that happens, a huge aggro will be attracted. In addition, in this game that has not been opened yet, only beginners are picked and killed? It was obvious that at any moment, people asking about their parents would overflow from here and there. Jaeyoung scratched his head in frustration andy down on thekeside. Then, in a daze, I pondered over what had just happened. [Please do your best in the future. Like I''m doing right now.] The voice of a young boy full of yfulness. I didn''t understand what that meant at the time, but now that I''ve read the mission statement, I can only vaguely understand that whoever the developer really wanted him to do all kinds of shit in this game. Why the hell...? Selecting and killing only beginners is to reduce the favorability of new users to the game. Therefore, since it could hinder the influx of new users and eventually damage the gamepany, a normal developer could not ask for this. That''s why Jaeyoung couldn''t help but wonder why he was asking him to do this. However, after thinking about his situation for a long time in an irreversible situation, he got up from his seat as if he had made up his mind and moved to the habitat of slime, a famous hunting ground for beginners. Yap yap! Die, die! Oh yea! Drops of slime came out! Oh oh! That''s 50 bronze! i envy you! Beginners catching slime cute enough to make you happy just by looking at it. Watching them clearing the slime hunting quest that they receive as soon as they start Arcadia, they begin to look back on themselves on the first day. And Jaeyoung took out the equipment with a bitter yet subtle expression. The heavy, rusty iron sword he received as a quest reward while hunting up to level 10 the other day. And he swung the iron sword without a moment''s hesitation. pug. Ouch! What is it, uncle?! omg! what? Aww! brother! When Jaeyoung''s steel sword was firmly lodged in his head and a novice fell in one hit, numerous novices who watched the scene shouted. And seeing them like that, Jaeyoung didn''t change his expression and started swinging his rusty iron sword again. This crazy! It''s a PK! No, it''s a PK in a beginner''s hunting ground! Aww! Run away! The slime habitat is confused by Jae-young, who suddenly started killing people without any reason or connection. There, Jaeyoung was able to confirm the message floating in front of his eyes as he sent numerous beginners directly to theher world. [Killed a beginner!] [Gains 1 Probability] [Killed a beginner!] [Gains 1 Probability] [Killed a beginner!] [Gains 1 Probability] That''s how the slime habitat started The massacre of novices in The birth of a rare idiot who turned peaceful Arcadia into chaos and destruction. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Slime is too strong (1) Slime Habitat. Hunting ground level 1-10. This hunting ground inhabited by slimes is really a space for users who have just started ying the game. It is the weakest monster in Arcadia officially recognized by the gamepany to the extent that even the tutorial quests ask you to catch the slime as your first hunt. And the hunting grounds of such beginners were filled with users who copsed while being dyed gray. You son of a bitch! Why do you keep killing me! Without hunting! A dark hooded man wielding an iron sword insipidly. One of the users selected as his next victim continued to run away and eventually was caught and shouted out in regret before dying. No matter how many users he had killed, his rusty iron sword and hood were stained bloody. A very grotesque sight, even though we know that all of this is imaginary. Slowly holding an iron sword, he backed away from him and threatened him. Do you think the gamepany will just let you go if youve been doing this kind of bad manners since the beginning of the opening! I will definitely report you to the customer center! But at his words, the killer paused for a moment and then muttered to himself as if it were absurd. What are you talking about? This is a dog-like bullshit that someone ordered you to do. what....? I wanted to ask what the unknown killer was saying, but he couldn''t. It was because the already heavy iron sword hit his head and killed him instantly, so only a ck screen filled his eyes. [You killed a beginner.] [You gain 1 Probability.] You don''t know how many times you''ve seen this message window. Jaeyoung let out a long sigh and confirmed the results of the PK that he had sold out without sleeping for two days. -Probability: 1025 1025 people. It was he who broke the phenomenal record of sending over 1,000 green sprouts of Arcadia to theher road with a rusty iron sword in two days. Perhaps, even if you look at other games that rmend PK, it is unprecedented that so many users were ughtered at the beginning of the opening. If you are a typical gamepany, you wille to yourself and grab your cor and say, Are you determined to ruin ourpany! It was a situation where there was nothing to say even if I ran around shouting, Do it properly!'', but unlike countless users who copsed in gray and said they would report themselves to the customer center, the gamepany was strangely quiet. What on earth are you giving me this mission for? If you didn''t know, you wouldn''t have known. There must have been a lot of users who had already reported it and had an uproar. Kwauung. When he was immersed in thought, Jaeyoung stroked his hair as if he was cute, watching the slimes around hime closer and churn. Ehh, it seems like Im getting better at hanging out with people now, but you guys hang out too. In the eyes of the slimes, do they be the warriors of justice who catch and kill the users who kill them? From time to time, it seemed that the influence of the message that came to mind gradually appeared as I proceeded with PK. [Saved the slime in danger.] [Intimacy with the slime race has increased.] Arcadia''s official weakest slime. As if they recognized Jaeyoung as being on their side, if they stayed still, they would gather here and there and start acting aegyo. It''s like you want to y with them. I want to y with you... but if you don''t run away soon, the damn guys wille to catch you and have a hard time. Jaeyoung murmured as he saw dozens of figures running from afar. A group to kill himself was created through the Inte, probably because he had done too much. It must be that the user who just died to himself posted the location of his death on the Inte and wasing through him. Seeing them like that, Jaeyoung yawned with a rxed face. At first, I overworked myself... I should take a break, right? Those bastards need to lose their energy. It was a mission given a time limit, so he had to move quickly, but it wasn''t too much, so Jaeyoung smiled as he watched the users rushing fiercely from afar. log out. After a while, dozens of yers with stern expressions arrived at his ce and found only a few slimes bouncing around and a gray corpse lying down. * * * Arcadia''s Customer Center. Mi-yeon, who had just joined the Korean branch and had just started working, was burning with enthusiasm. Dear customer- how can I help you? She entered Arcadia as the first new employee to join the ranks ofrge corporations after oveing the dirty and dirty job market. She was assigned to the customer center team and, perhaps because of her excessive enthusiasm, thanks to her voice full of kindness, it wasn''t long before she was already praised by theinants. Articles were pouring in one after another. This month''s job evaluation is... worth watching.'' Miyeon, who hums in anticipation that she might be chosen as the employee of the month, couldn''t hide her embarrassment at the nextint call. Dear customer- how can I help you? [Hey, are you going to run the game now?] Yes? Hard-coreintsing in. Miyeon was momentarily at a loss for what to say at his remark, which seemed to be very angry. [No, as soon as the game started, I was told to hunt, so I went and was PKed by a guy wearing a strange hood and died. 24-hour ess limit? It''s a paid game, so are you going to operate it like this?] PK...? Oops... you must have been very displeased. Miyeon, who has a rough knowledge of the game, understands the situation and nods her head, expressing regret. And after hearing the details of the situation from him, he responded as if he was angry. Oh my, I was catching slime at the beginners hunting ground and came and killed it suddenly? You are a really bad user. As if excited that Miyeon was sympathizing with her words, theinant said what she wanted in a slightly softer voice than before. [Anyway, please lift the 24-hour ess limit as soon as possible. It''s not my fault, it''s a situation where I''ve been harmed by malicious users.] Uh... that part is not something I can do with my authority. I will inform the relevant departments of the situation, so could you please wait a little longer? [Oh yes. Thank you.] Miyeon, who passed theint call with a smooth response, sighed deeply and briefly wrote down the rted situation and ryed it to the top. And, feeling strangely proud of his ability to respond to civilints, he received the nextint. Dear customer- how can I help you? [Hey, I just got killed by some bastard while catching slime... Do you want to run the game like this?] ..... Miyeon didn''t know. I''ve heard that it''s a thick, concentrated drip coffee. * * * Early opening of Arcadia. Since it hadn''t even been a month since the service started, newly discovered information in the game was posted on the bulletin board one after another and raised issues. - Good quality weapons can be obtained cheaply. An in-depth analysis of the Archon Territory. - You can too. A high-speed growth route after changing to a mage. -Efficient ways to get additional stats. People werepeting to upload videospetitively because they could edit their own y videos and upload them on the Inte and provide various strategies to grow their own video channels and earn lucrative advertising fees. And a video like an appeal was uploaded to such amunity. -Looking for the ill-mannered serial killer gnome who makes the newbies cry . And what he encountered was not a cute slime with twinkling eyes, but a murderer with a blood-stained iron sword in his hood. A beginner who started to run away from the appearance full of malice just by looking at it. However, he was eventually caught in a chase thatsted only a few minutes, probably because of the difference in ability ording to the level, and he cried out desperately, perhaps out of resentment before dying. [ah! Let''s really stop doing this! Why is it so crazy for beginners who just started! There''s something good!] But despite his scream-like cry, the killer didn''t say anything and just swung a heavy iron sword without mercy. [Put-] The video ends with a ck screen with a dull sound. At the end of the video, it was written in detail that the author, full of resentment, asked for revenge, perhaps because of this killer. -lol. The newbie killer concept dog is funny. - Hey, is that funny? Wouldn''t it be funny if you did it once? -When you look at the items, you look like a warrior who just changed his job... Why are you doing that from a low level? - But it''s really bad. I see it''s aimed only at beginners who have just started. grow grow and grow. At this time when everyone is devoted to character development, people who are half curious about the y of a unique concept who are focusing on catching other beginners'' ankles, not growth. And when thement window was crowded with people frothing at the mouth and cursing, someone posted a tip and the situation started to get more serious. -A vicious PK criminal. A novice killer''s ugly misdeeds. I''m a novice who was killed by that bastard two days ago. Right after I died, I kept checking the bulletin board, but that''s not just an entricity, it''s a real bad user. So far, there are only 739 cases of damage reports, and seeing that they keeping in, they are still doing that. I''m only doing that in the slime habitat, but my level doesn''t look that high, and it''s estimated that I''ve just changed jobs. I''m always waiting to kill that baby killer by organizing it, but it keeps running away like a loach. If anyone can help, please message me. And... thanks to one of the users who was victimized by Jaeyoung persistently digging into it, people were shocked that the number of beginners he had killed so far exceeded hundreds. -Wait a minute, you killed almost 800 people in two days? -Is that possible? Have you ever been caught? -No, even if only 10 beginners, no, 5 people gathered together, they would have already done it in reverse. - But why are you doing that? It''s a strangely high number to say that it''s a simple concept y. This is a figure that is difficult to achieve even if you do not eat, do not sleep, and kill users. Even if you are a psychopathic killer who enjoys murder, if you ask him to catch and kill this much in two days, he will say that he can''t kill because it''s difficult, so the question Why? -Have you received the quest for a hidden ss transfer? - Isn''t that just a psychopath? -Maybe it''s a broadcasting concept? Wherever you look for a deep web broadcast. Among the many spections about the newbie killer issue, one opinion could be drawn frommunity users. - But you can''t just leave it like that, can you? -If you killed that much, the number of evil acts would be very high. - If it''s a holy ss job, don''t you get a reward if you catch that guy? Truly, the killing squad began to gather to catch one PK criminal. It was arge-scale killing squad that exceeded hundreds of units. And such movements were caught by the surveincework of Alice, an artificial intelligence that observes and oversees everything rted to Arcadia. [Large mass formation detected. Analysis of rted causes.] The charm of Arcadia in virtual reality is that the story is not simply created in the game. Beyond themunity, even the activities of users rted to Arcadia across the Inte be a story and another content, implemented and realized in the game. [Rted Quest. Main Scenario Act. 1 Forgotten Darkness Begins.] [Expected Scenario No. Simr to 259. Create rted quests.] By Alice, an artificial intelligence who contemtes everything. [The quest has been created.] On that day, all Korean users were confused by a quest that was suddenly created simultaneously. [Quest Beginner Catch Serial Killer] - Catch the mysterious killer who kills beginners in the slime habitat. After the 0/1 quest was created, themunity became even more noisy, but Jaeyoung''s face, who was sleeping soundly, was peaceful. He didn''t care about what happened outside the world because of him. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The slime is too strong (2) [Quest to catch the newbie serial killer] -Catch the mysterious killer who kills beginners in the slime habitat. 0/1 This quest was created out of the blue. It would be an absurd situation for a general user who is not familiar with the context, but it was different from the perspective of Arcadia''s nning and development team. Why are quests being created without any notice! That too for all users! That''s it... We''re still figuring out the cause. Overall Arcadia''s operation, especially in the scenario team that nned and designed the quest, everyone was busy trying to figure out the situation around the sudden urrence of the entire quest. Are you really going to do something like this? How long has it been since the service opened and I cant even grasp the situation, so its Jung-gu heating! Team leader Kang Tae-hun watched them silently and immediately shouted, as if frustrated by the situation in which the employees below were busy wandering around and doing something, but no one was able to bring them useful information. The office became silent for an instant at his shouting. As everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him with surprised eyes, Taehun cleared his throat and spoke in a calm voice. First of all, is the quest main scenario that urred right now? If it was a normal quest, there would be no way the entire department would be turned upside down like this. The problem now is... Sure. Main Scenario Act. 1 It is confirmed as a quest rted to Emerging Forgotten Darkness. The quest given to all users is the main scenario. Its the main scenario thats been around for a while, and its already started! Director Kang Tae-hunughed at the situation going in apletely different direction than the development team had predicted. There is a distinct difference between creating'' and starting'' the main scenario. Just as a seed does not sprout and bear fruit immediately after being nted, it was predicted that it would normally take several months for the created scenario to have a ripple effect on all users and form into a practical quest. However, as if all the nning team members who made such a prediction were idiots with an IQ of 81, when a linked quest was created in just two days, all the nning team members were stunned. So... what the hell is a novice killer? Director Kang Tae-hoon asked while rummaging through the hastily prepared report in his hand, and an employee who appeared to be the author of the report began to exin carefully. That''s it.... One user was PKing in the slime habitat, a hunting ground for beginners, and from what the user has figured out now, it is presumed to be directly rted to the main scenario this time... So that killer Why isnt there anything about users in the report? As he looked through the report roughly, he asked with a bloody look. I was going to check that, but... Computer-wise, the head office has already ssified it as reading-restricted, so the reading itself is... Director Kang Tae-hoon looked at the employee who was silent at his words, sighed, turned his eyes to the report again, carefully reviewed the contents, and shouted again with a stern face. The number of users who were PKed... 1025? what? Isnt this a typo? 1025 people. Not 15, not 125, just 1025. It was too ignorant to believe that it wasmitted by fire and individuals, so Director Kang Tae-hoon''s voice had to be raised again. hey! Jungmin Lee! tell me straight! Did you fall asleep while writing the report? Unless your hand slipped while typing a number, do you think this is a reasonable number? Despite his question, which was close to denying reality, the employee who wrote the report informed him of the grim and painful reality. The number recorded in the report is the number of users who died suddenly in the slime habitat from two days ago. It''s estimated, but it''s all the damn thing... No, I''m looking at the number of users who died from users called killers. As you know, the team leader... that''s not a ce where monsters die... ...You killed over a thousand beginners in two days alone? really....? The employee''s report made him think. Does it make sense to kill users with normal reason and intelligence who are not monsters and roam around freely in such a short period of time, even if they have excellent control and skill? Maybe it''s possible because it''s in the early stages of opening. If you think about When is the time when the beginner hunting ground can be activated in the history of the game?'', these ridiculous figures may be possible. It''s probably because the current slime habitat is half slime and half beginner. But another question popped up in his mind. But why the hell are you killing that bastard like that...? The most essential and why everyone is curious. But no one has been able to give an answer to that question. I''m just guessing. I couldnt confirm the details because of the restrictions on reading, but... I think he was probably carrying out a quest rted to the main scenario. ..... At the words of a subordinate, Tae-hoon, who was silently tapping his desk again, lost in thought. And he immediately stood up as if he had decided something. Since Im going to see the executive director, everyone is clearly aware of the situation, and they are preparing for the general meeting by organizing the report. okay? Manager Kang Tae-hoon just says something and leaves the office quickly. The quest nning team members left behind him stood in a daze for a while, and then started to move busily again. In order to find any clues to write down in the report rted to this incident. * * * Jae-young fell into a sweet sleep after the fierce and brutal massacre of beginners for two days. What he checked after waking up was a bulletin board that was already burning hot. - Special events. Catch the killer! What is this...? Notice exposed at the top of Arcadia''s official website. Upon reading the notice, Jaeyoung''s face was stained with absurdity. What kind of gamepany is this? Can it be operated in such a biased way? Well, it was packaged as if it were a fun event, but the content was an event announcement that was close to an appeal to catch and get rid of the evil user who is killing only beginners in the game. It is quite unreasonable to say that it is an official article from a gamepany. Perhaps because of that, even in thement section, a heated discussion was already taking ce. -Why are you treating this as an event? Shouldn''t there be sanctions? - There''s no problem, so you can''t sanction it. PK is one content. He just enjoyed it. -lol. A gamepany management mess. Look at the level of asking bad and malicious users to catch them on their own. - Why does it seem like a pretty fun event? The reward is also savory. A gamepany offered a magic item and 5 gold as a reward for catching a killer. Many users were interested in this and were thinking about participating in the event, but Jaeyoung, who became a hunting target, couldn''t help but sigh from the moment he logged on to the game. Ah... should I end this here? A beginner who didn''t'' change his job. The slime habitat, which was the best ce to hunt them, was already full of users who seemed to be far from beginners just by looking at the equipment already wandering around to catch the killer. It''s a hideous atmosphere, as if someone were to die, people woulde from all directions andy down a teacup (?). Because of that, no matter how hard Jaeyoung was, he tried to get out of the habitat with a calm face, not thinking of touching the beginners anymore. Kwauuuung. However, a slime came and blocked Jaeyoung''s way. Hehehe. Ah-oh! It''s so damn hard to hunt. Kick kick. That''s why I told you to choose a job other than a wizard. Ah... Mr.! just wait As long as I change jobs, I am stronger than you. Two novice users holding wooden swords and panting. As if it were the slime they were catching, the slime whose stamina was almost exhausted was looking at him with pitiful eyes as if asking for help. ...? Jae-young was taken aback by the sudden situation, but the two novices spoke to him with a hostile spirit. Here, uncle. That''s what we got. Don''t touch it. Lets refrain from bad manners. Perhaps misunderstanding that he was trying to hit him, the two users, wary of him, approached him and approached the slime hidden behind Jaeyoung. that buck Oh what is it? And as soon as Jaeyoung blocked the two of them, the atmosphere changed forbiddingly. Uh... Jae-young, who felt sorry for the glowing slime''s eyes, unknowingly stopped the two of them, but was at a loss for words because there was no justifiable reason. As he stood there nkly, one of them roughly pushed him away. Get out of the way. This is the slime we caught. It was just a shove to him, but Jaeyoung, who was knocked out, suffered a small amount of damage. And at that moment, Jaeyoungy down and shouted in a loud voice. PK daaaaaa! What what? Oh, people are dying! There is a PK criminal here! hey! what a PK! I just pushed...! As if he was taken aback by Jaeyoung''s cry, he tried to protest, but soon shut his mouth as he saw the numerous users flocking around them. PK? Who said PK now? Those who looked at the two and Jaeyoung with mouth-watering eyes soon began to turn their attention to the unknown novice user who was dyed in red. ah! I''m not that killer! I just pushed that bastard out of the way...! He suddenly makes an expression as if he realized something while trying to exin. However, before he could say anything, he copsed in gray without saying a word because of the numerous high-level users who rushed at him. Be loud and give me an event reward, you murderer! pensation!pensation! Where are fresh newbies aiming, you psychopaths! The two died in an instant from the attack of the high-level users who rushed forward. Even after they die, the quest remains the same, so who got the reward? Thanks to Dan, who made a noise, Jae-young sneaked out of her seat and soon saw the approaching slime with a plump smile. Kwuuuuu! A green slime that chubbled and snuggled as if to say thank you. A message window popped up in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes as he stroked his hair as if he thought the slime was cute. [Saved the slime in danger.] [Intimacy with the slime species is at its maximum.] [Acquired the title slime''s friend.] He was briefly taken aback by the message that suddenly appeared, but soon Jae-young looked back and understood what he had done. there was. So far, as he ughtered beginners, his intentions went up to the level of Andromeda, but as a result, the number of slimes he saved was quite high. No, considering the slimes they killed, it might be more than you thought. Anyway, I don''t know what it might have been, but the intimacy that rose asionally eventually reached the limit and even received the title, but Jaeyoung wasn''t proud at all. Whatever it was, it wasn''t a situation that could help in the current situation. However, several more message windows began to appear before his eyes. [Satisfied the minimum probability stat.] [Formed a cooperative rtionship with the slime race.] [You can use Probability to help them.] Huh? Hearing that he could help out of the blue, Jaeyoung saw a new window that appeared on the interface and finally realized how to use this probability value. [Lv. 1 Slime] -Life: 50 -Magic Power: 0 -Attack Power: 10 -Physical Defense: 1 Detailed stats of the slime appeared before his eyes. With a probability figure he holds of 1025. Jaeyoung, who had been staring nkly for a while, startedughing madly. I don''t know what the hell this crazy gamepany was nning this system for, but Jaeyoung imagined the consequences of his actions and started changing the slime''s abilities to his liking with his fingers. Ah.... This game is crazy and fun. If you are a developer equipped withmon sense, you will never give it to normal users. Given the fact that the monsters'' stat adjustments were given to him in exchange for the stat of probability, Jae-young decided to match the expectations of the game developer and confirmed the final stat change. [Probability required for change 1025.] [Probability is consumed permanently. Are you sure you want to change it?] Even with the warning message, Jaeyoung''s hand didn''t hold back when he pressed OK. [The basic abilities of the slime race have been changed.] [Lv. 15 slime] -Life: 950 -Magic Power: 100 -Attack Power: 100 -Physical Defense: 10 Even before the message window that the stats had been changed disappeared in front of his eyes, the voices of panicking people began to be heard from all around him. What are these! evil! What the hell, why are these guys so sick! 100 million! heel! heel! I die like this! The cute slimes with bright eyes, synonymous with non-professionals, suddenly started to attack scattered users first, with a powerful ability of 100 attack power. I don''t know who filmed it, but someone said in a video of countless slimes jumping and screaming cutely in a slime habitat filled with the bodies of countless users who had fallen and were stained gray. This day is called the day of slime revolution by slimes of slimes. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Slime is too strong (3) The Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. As it was in the early days of opening, the entirepany was busy. Yeah, the initial supply of connectors is out! I asked the head office for additional supplies, but when will this be delivered... Chief! The bnce update n for this quarter has beenpleted. This surrogate! Who did you decide to dispatch technical support staff to the virtual reality experience center? hey! Is it time to be aesthetically aesthetic right now? First, finish the report! It is a situation where there is no bird to open eyes while handling the pouring work here and there in the department. However, the busiest department among them was the customer center team, which was in charge of directmunication with customers. Yes customer. We are currently doing our best to find out about the matters you have inquired about. If you wait a little longer... [Wait? When I was killed by a strange guy while catching slime yesterday, I thought so. After the ess restriction was lifted, I went hunting again, but this time, why is the slime going crazy ! Mi-yeon, who was in charge of the phone, closed her eyes tightly to the sudden high-pitched voice, and answered in a drained voice. As for the slime bing stronger than before, we are also investigating the cause. I''m really sorry that the character died because of that problem. I''ll inform youter through a notice, so just a little more... [Ah! What kind of games are there! I''m not going to do it, so please give me a refund or make it right!] Customer? sir? Mi-yeon hung up the phone before she could say anything. However, she couldn''te to her senses at the phone call that came again without a moment to panic. And it wasn''t just her problem. what! What the hell is this? Kang Hyuk-soo, general manager of the Customer Center. He asked as he looked around the office full of sweaty employees on his phone. Comints from high customers are increasing rapidly. Is it about that strange killer again? no! Regarding the bnce in the game... The monsters suddenly became incredibly strong... What? What are you talking about? Manager Kang Hyuk-soo tilted his head slightly at the exnation of his subordinate. It was not easy to understand the contents of the rted inquiries because he was a veteran who had already rolled and rolled for more than ten years in a game-rtedpany. An hour ago, we started receivingints about being killed by slime. At first, I thought it was just a simpleint, but hundreds of simr inquiries have already been received. Has there been any cooperation from the management team regarding the bnce adjustment? We were not aware of anything, so we inquired with the relevant department, but they didnt seem to know at all! What bullshit is that! A bnce change that the management team doesnt know about! Manager Kang Hyuk-soo, who had been muttering something absurd, took a sip of coffee without thinking about it, opened his eyes wide as if he realized something, and asked again. Wait, the monster that became abnormally strong is a slime? yes? Ah yes. Slime is right. Looking at manager Kang Hyuk-soo, who suddenly asked with a serious face, the employee answered with a puzzled expression. Then, Manager Kang Hyuk-soo stood up from his seat and said, This matter is urgently forwarded to the relevant departments. The action step is a serious priority. yes? Are you serious? A subordinate who asks back as if he doesn''t understand. It was hard for him to understand Director Kang Hyuk-soo''s instructions, as it was just right to hear regretfulments about him making a fuss over trivial matters and making him tired after passing it on to another department as a serious error even though it was not a fatal error. You still dont know? ..... Manager Kang Hyuk-soo asked softly, looking at him who couldn''t open his mouth to his own question. Do you know how many connectors we install every day? I understand that they are installing about 10,000 new units a day. As the department is also in charge of installing connectors, the staff speaks confidently as if they are familiar with it. At his answer, Manager Kang Hyuk-soo nodded. Yes, that means that more than 10,000 new users are being created every day. Then, what kind of existence is slime in the game? That''s... ah! While trying to answer his question, the employee eximed what he realized and put on a serious expression. Yes, slime is a new users first game and a basic training target forbat. But... what if that slime bes so strong that beginners can never catch it? There is no big problem with errors that just make normal monsters stronger. After all, I just had to catch a monster of a simr level, not that monster. However, the problem was serious for beginners who knew little about the game they had just started ying. That means... After being killed by a slime, ess is restricted and the number of angryint calls increases by 10,000 a day alone. ..... Comints andints are increasing by ten thousand'' a day. He shuddered involuntarily, imagining the number of protest calls that would increase to the point of paralyzing his business with just a little dy. If you understand, immediately report the situation to the development and operation teams. Please check and fix the problem right away. ah! yes I will do it right now! Kang Hyuk-soo, who watched the employee hurriedly return to his seat, suddenly felt a strong sense of unknown anxiety in his heart. Should I ask for more staff... As he ate for a while, his intuition, which had increased without his knowledge, was telling him. A disturbing prophecy that we will be doing a lot of closemunication with our customers for a very long time. * * * A slime strengthened by consuming all of Jaeyoung''s probabilities. As the level went up, the characteristics themselves changed as well, so a massacre took ce in the slime habitat. This crazy! Why are these guys doing this! It doesn''t do any damage! evil! it hurts! Why does it hurt! Gafi in both rooms! The killing squad gathered here and there to catch Jaeyoung. They fought back against the slimes who suddenly changed and rushed at them, but it didn''t take long for them to turn gray due to the powerful damage that even those who had changed jobs as warriors felt burdened. Kwuuuuu! A bunch of slimes showing off their bright eyes and making cute cries. However, the corpses of the dead yers that formed the fields around it were truly grotesque. And even under these circumstances, beginners who did not know how to do it still continued to set foot in the slime habitat. hey! It''s Mingyu! There is a slime over there. ah! Don''t call me by my real name! Call me Kaiser, Kaiser! Two newbies heading to the slime habitat while squabbling whether they are friends. Seeing them from afar, Jaeyoung soon witnessed them copse in a gray light in a single shot. Kwaaaaaaang! A slime that roars cutely as if it has won and jumps around. Jaeyoung, who felt a sense of alienation from the warlike appearance as if he were a beast, smiled pleasantly at the message that appeared in front of him. [Enhanced slime killed the beginner.] [Probability increases by 1.] [Enhanced slime kills the beginner by 1.] [Probability increases by 1.] -Probability: 3924 It''s only been 2 hours, but already this It''s great, isn''t it? only 2 hours. In two hours, more beginners died at the hands of the slimes than Jaeyoung killed in two nights. A situation where you have acquired a value that is 4 times higher than the probability you have already consumed. There was still a lot of time left until the mission waspleted. [Killing beginners] Killing newbie users who have not changed jobs. -Number of novices killed: 4949 -Time remaining: 3 days 22 hours 46 minutes 17 seconds. I wish I could strengthen it a little more... After acquiring additional probability, I tried to strengthen the slime more, but unfortunately, additional strengthening was not possible. As if he wanted to teach the truth of life that everything has a timing, he couldn''t find the window itself that manipted the slime''s abilities. Well... this is enough, so it shouldn''t matter. A situation like honey where the probability rises on its own just by sitting still and breathing without being chased by people as a killer. Jaeyoung decided to enjoy watching the obituary of a beginner who had gone to the wild road somewhere that came to mind without rest. It''s as if he doesn''t care about everything that''s going on outside. * * * Arcadia''s officialmunity site. Arpandia. This ce, where users who y Arcadia can upload and share their y videos and even raise advertising revenue through those videos, has been growing more actively and rapidly than any othermunity since its opening. And a video with a provocative title was uploaded to Arpendia. -The slime is too strong.- A user who seems to have just started the game. After looking around the beginner''s vige, I went straight to catch the slime to break the beginner''s quest, or tutorial. Arriving at the slime habitat right in front of the vige, he swung his wooden sword at the green slime with pure and sparkling eyes as if he didn''t know anything. [Kwuuuu!] Slime looked at him for a moment as if asking what he was doing. And the slime chugged at him and threw a body headbutt. And at that moment, the screen went ck. [The yer has died. 24-hour ess restrictions are granted. Be mindful of y.] The video ended with the message that he had died. - Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. is it dead? to slime? -What? is it a concept? Why die in one hit? - Now abnormally strong slime. i die too -Eh? What do you mean? did you get stronger? From people who don''t know what''s going on, to people who whine after death. The bulletin board quickly burned down as many people started talking about slime. - This shit is real. At level 1, if you get hit by a real slime, you lose. -Is this a game? - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. -It''s an express ticket to the underworld. -I''m level 3, but I get hit 2 times and die;;. - Oh, that''s annoying. It''s a game for money, but is it true that you''re joking around like this? As numerous cases of damage were mentioned and poured out one after another to be called simple chirashi, people''s attention went beyond attracting attention and even articles began to appear. - Does it creak from the start of the virtual reality game? Outpouring of consumerints. -Unannounced submarine patch gamepany''sck ofmunication. - What is the bare face of consumers whoin of excessive death penalty? - Adjustment of questionable monster stats. A blitz analysis of the reason! From fairlyrge-scale game news sites to third-rate chirashi and overspending ces. While the press that smelled it rushed to bite it, the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. was busy holding an emergency meeting. Lets start by reporting the situation. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon entered the conference room. Seeing him hurriedlying in and sitting down, everyone could feel once again that the current situation is not the time to rx. Around 13:20 today, we confirmed that the slime''s abilities were abnormally enhanced. As a result, the number of deaths by slime users who were unaware of the rted facts has increased rapidly, andints andints rted to this have increased exponentially. Is this something fixed by the operations team? Once we checked, it was absolutely not our side. We don''t have the authority to do that, and nobody adjusts to these insane numbers. The head of the bnce team protested with an unfair face as if he was absolutely not at the question of Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon. At headquarters? I strongly inquired and asked to confirm rted information, but there is no answer yet. I''ll check that part myself, so I''ll skip it. First of all, how exactly have the numbers been adjusted? At the words of Kwon Myeong-han, the bnce team leader said with a drawn expression. first.... Base attack damage increased tenfold from 10 to 100. ..... The meeting room was enveloped in silence at the words that it had risen ten times. Even Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han began to look at the report in a hurry as if it was absurd. and asked again. Wait a minute, what is the basic health of newly created characters? He did not have an easy answer to that question. Everyone''s attention was focused on the bnce team leader''s mouth. He gave an answer to the question with a very difficult expression. ...Exactly 100. ..... One shot one kill. They were slimes who sent green beginners who had just set foot in Arcadia directly to the express train to the underworld. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Slime is too strong (4) Myunghan Kwon, executive director in charge of Arcadia. After returning to his office after an emergency meeting, his face was full of tiredness. Whoa..... He took a deep sigh and rubbed his eyes to relieve fatigue for a moment, then looked at theputer that was turned off and said. Ellis. Wii Ying- Aputer that turns on suddenly as if in response to his words. And text appeared on the screen. [3rd level manager Kwon Myeong-han, executive director. It has been confirmed.] Myeonghan Kwon was unable to concentrate throughout the meeting because of hisplicated thoughts. Others had dismissed the matter as mere error, but he knew it was not. Alice, an artificial intelligence system that seems to have far surpassed modern technology that is close to perfection. He knew that this slime incident was not a simple mistake, but a thoroughly intentional and calcted situation, as the subject who oversees and controls everything in Arcadia is not a human being, but an artificial intelligence. I just don''t know the reason why it is like that. Did you do the slime stat adjustment this time, Alice? Ellis answered Executive Director Kwon Myung-han''s question. [Yes.] Why? His question pops out immediately as it should be. However, after a brief loading, Ellis gave a dry answer. [Insufficient ess rights for rted information.] Insufficient ess rights. Information that he, who is in charge of and oversees the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., cannot ess. The executive director, who had rmended that fact, had a distorted face. No, what should I do if I, the general manager of Korea, cant read it? Shouldn''t thepany respond if they know the circumstances before and after? Consumerints are exploding exponentially right now! one room. As the exquisitely strengthened slimes shattered beginners'' earthenware pots with just one shot, Korean users'' dissatisfaction increased exponentially. A situation where normal y is impossible. But Alice''s answer was the same. [This is a normal stat change. It is impossible to adjust the rted content.] If you are a person, you can calm her down, but since she is an artificial intelligence, it was impossible to appease or threaten her, so Kwon Myung-han gave up trying to convince her. Then... would you mind revising the basic quests we prepared for beginners first? In order to put out the urgent fire, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han brought up a story about a tutorial quest prepared to help beginners get started. [Beginner Adaptation Quest - 1] - Defeat the slime. 0/1 Because of this quest, the official website and the customer center were on fire. -Did you guys send me to catch them and then send them to theher road? -Are you crazy? Are you telling me to catch this as a beginner now? Da X Soul is not like this. - A game for beginners from the start. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - You gave me the wrong quest. Be killed by slime'' was originally correct ha ha . Although it was a problem that gamepanies had nothing to do with all of this. [Which adjustment are you talking about?] Please disable the slime hunting quest for now. It would be difficult if there were more protests saying that they died because of us. At the words of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, Ellis immediately gave an answer. [...satisfied with administrative rights. Disable Beginner Adaptation Quest - 1''.] It didn''t yield much, but he thought it was a relief to solve one of the problems that caused beginner damage. But he didn''t know. That this situation is just a prologue. * * * Who said that humans are animals of adaptation? The situation where the reinforced slime ughtered unsuspecting beginners did notst as long as Jaeyoung had hoped. Since it became a hot topic on the Inte and even an article came out, the number of newbies who died trying to catch slime has decreased sharply. That''s just in two days. And the efforts of users also yed a big role in this situation. You shouldnt go hunting for slimes. hey! The slime here is great. I have to catch the other guy. Oh yeah? Jaeyoung was able to realize that the honeydew was drained now when there were people who stopped users heading to the slime habitat, not knowing whether they didn''t read the Inte well, and even made them turn away. Well... but this isn''t a bad situation, though. - Killing beginner users who have not changed jobs. -Number of novices killed: 9640 -Time remaining: 1 day 22 hours 46 minutes 17 seconds. Nearly 10,000 users died because of Jaeyoung and were restricted from ess. And even now, very intermittently, the number was increasing. And the moment the number reached 10,000... [You killed 10,000 newbies.] [A feat that no one can aplish! You are a vicious killer that everyone acknowledges!] [You have acquired the title Newbie Killer''.] [You have exceeded the reward range of the given mission. Interim payment is being executed.] Various messages appearing in front of you as if congratting you. Among them, Jaeyoung tilted his head as he looked at thest window. Medium reward? When he pressed the shiny spear, a ck orb appeared right in front of him. Uh-uh- A fierce storm blew around and cracked the space itself. And something came out of the little hole. Kwaaaek! Something about the size of a palm with a ck glow all over its body appeared with a strange scream. [Interim reward settlement has beenpleted.] [You have acquired Familiar.] Familiar. It''s simr to a pet, but it''s usually a type of fairy that gives various buffs and debuffs, and what appeared in front of them... What is this ce! And why am I like this! It pped the wings of a tiny bat and took the form of a demon with two horns. It looked around as if it had been suddenly dragged in, but soon found Jaeyoung and red at him with ferocious eyes. You bastard! Did you summon me? ...I didnt do it, but maybe it was because of me? At those words, the little devil''s face contorted in a grim manner. Then it started to glow violently. no! I have time. I''m not some low-level imp. What''s a familiar? It''s not even this crazy contract, it''s a forced contract, so what if I throw it away like this! It''s not just one or two things I''ve done right now in the Demon Realm! Jaeyoung, who was about to open his mouth at the sight of him squealing and zing with a small size that was not even the size of the palm of his hand, was startled when he saw the name on the top of the little devil. [Satan, the lord of chaos.] Satan. At first nce, this cute little devil had a famous name that could only be heard in mythology. Even with the prestige of being the Demon King''. ...? It was the same for Jaeyoung that he did not understand the current situation. Are you suddenly a demon? No matter how many beginners he killed, it seemed too much to throw a demon king to use as a familiarnguage as an intermediate settlement. Even the demon king who seemed very, very angry. Ha... even bad students should be moderately twisted. What the fuck is this in hister years, really..... Satan, who had beenmenting as if he were a sergeant in hister years who had gone through all the hardships of the world, looked at Jaeyoung and started talking. Hey human. ...? Seeing him speak so casually, I wanted to scold him, saying, You''re a family man, but you''re rude to the owner!'', but I couldn''t. [Demon King Satan.] Just by looking at that name, there was a very strong sign that if I touched it wrongly, I would have to give up the game. No matter what, since the forced contract was made in your familiarnguage, I think we should stay together for a while. When Jaeyoung saw Satan jumping up and taking his seat, a message popped up in front of his eyes. [You can use the power of the Familiar by consuming Probability.] [However, the Familiar is a demon. Be aware of deception and temptation.] Hmm...? You have quite a bit more power than I thought, right? Satan rides on the head and suddenly speaks in a strangely interesting voice. What power? Is this why I became involved in the contract... If I do well, I can push all the chicken wings out? In response to Jaeyoung''s question, Satan muttered to himself what to do, lost in thought. Then, he waved his fluttering wings and floated in front of Jaeyoung, asking. Humans, can you give me the power you have? No, so what power? What is it? The power to overturn thews of the world! The one you have! what? Are you talking about probability? The power to overturn thews of the world. Hearing Satan''s words, Jaeyoung was able to realize that what he wanted was probability. It''s a power that a mere human wouldn''t be able to use anyway, so just give it to me. Then I will reward you appropriately. - Probability: 8975 I don''t know what it is, but Satan covets probability while drooling. Looking at him, Jaeyoung realized that this stat is much more important than he thought. How much are you going to give me? Let''s see... um... if you''re giving me all you have... Satan, seemingly contemting something, waved his hand in the air, then pulled out a cloak from somewhere and said: This much? [Nargal''s Sigh - Unique] Nargal''s cloak that leads the 2nd Corps of Pandemonium. -Equipment limit: 150. -Physical Defense: 2500. -Magical Defense: 1500. -Special Skill: Spirit Absorption Shield. -Evil Skill Lv. +2. -Protects the user from a fatal blow once (Cooldown: 2 days). ..... Jaeyoungs mind becameplicated in a situation that left him speechless. The game just opened less than two weeks ago. But even though it was such a game, Jaeyoung felt as if he was ying another game. I heard that an American ranker has finally reached level 50, but this little devil was pushing 150 equipment right in front of his eyes. Even with a unique grade. For a moment, he fell into an extremely strong temptation, but Jaeyoung swallowed and shook his head. Umm...isnt that enough? Satan is a little disappointed when he rejects the offer, but mutters as if he knew it. However, after returning the cloak somewhere, he asked again with a coy look. As expected, if you''re my contractor, there''s no way you''ll be satisfied with this. Then, is there anything you want? Jaeyoung pondered for a moment at Satan''s question. What do you want? Now that he had just started ying the game, he didn''t want much. If it''s what you want right now... Jaeyoung, who was seriously thinking about it, suddenly heard a group of party members passing by. hey! Are the slimes hot right now? So! As much as I got stronger, my experience and gold increased, but the mob regeneration remains the same, the pattern is the same, and there is no other ce that has the same hunting efficiency as here. A slime with abnormally enhanced abilities. However, the simple behavior patterns for beginners and the horrendous mob regeneration rate remained the same, so this ce was no different from a dream hunting ground for users of appropriate levels. And, as if that fact had spread, parties of users who had leveled up to a certain extent after changing jobs began to gather in the slime habitat one by one to hunt. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Suddenly, it seemed that the sound of slime crying intively came from somewhere. And Jaeyoung suddenly asked Satan. Can you strengthen the monsters? Eh? what monster? Satan asked with an absurd face as if the request was too different from what he had imagined. Slime. Slime....? Satan, who was absent-minded for a moment. And suddenly he startedughing like crazy. Khehehehehe. Hehehehehehehehe. crazy! Kiki Kiki Kiki Kick! Satan couldn''t stopughing for a while. After calming down a bit, he gasped. It''s really fun. I dont know what the situation is, but I think its the first time Ive ever seen a contractor making a wish like you. Satan has a genuinely funny look in his eyes. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung asked again. Is it possible? Not possible. But how much? Jaejoong answered the question without hesitation. entire. At that, Satan replied with a mischievous smile. Contract established. Jaejoong didn''t know. What kind of results will the deal with Satan now lead to? What a huge event it will be proudly recorded in the Arcadia Incident and idents section. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Slime is too strong (5) Yurin, ying as a wizard in Arcadia, felt very good. [Level increased] [Skill Fire Spear increased to B rank] [Damage and casting speed increased] [Magic affinity increased by 1] [Intelligence increased by 5] ... It was because I was able to achieve level 20 at a phenomenal speed thanks to an unknown error that urred in the slime habitat. Oh, are you leveling up already? The party members who were hunting together looked at Yurin surrounded by lights and began to congratte her one by one. Congrattions, Yurin. Now you have entered the 20th level. If we go with this momentum, it might be worth targeting even a wizard ranker, right? At thepliments of the people around her, Yurin said without hiding a smile on her lips. Ho Ho. Are you a ranker? I don''t know if it''s possible, but if you hunt like this here, you might be able to stare at it. Hehehe... I don''t know what kind of bug it is, but it''s a really sweet situation. Slimes give more experience than kobolds. A slime habitat that has be stronger for unknown reasons. This may be a ce of shock, fear, and death for beginners, but for those who have reached a certain level, it was truly a space of blessing. I thought it was just getting stronger, but the monster pattern remains the same, but the experience and gold increase. I hope it stays like this for a while. In Arcadia, monster hunting and battles are not so easy content. As the level goes up, the monsters you face have intelligence, and they create irregr situations that get you into trouble. Especially when it came to the kobolds they dealt with. Im hiding suddenly and I dont even surprise. They swarmed around in groups, set up traps, and fired poisonous needles while noticing. Ugh,pared to those bastards, these guys are nobles. Yurin shakes her head from side to side as if thinking about it is terrifying. And everyone nodded their heads slightly, as if agreeing with what he said. Anyway, it seems that more and more high-level users like us areing in after smelling it, so we finish leveling up as quickly as possible and move on to the next area. As Yurin said, countless user parties were set up and hunting around them. Those who do not look like absolute beginners. It was clear that they hade from somewhere to confirm the same information they knew and to raise their level quickly. Gradually, the hunting speed of users started to be faster than the speed of slime regeneration. As if to prove him, the corpses of slimes were filling the field. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu together? Fire Lance. Seeing such a slime, Yurin chanted the skill without hesitation. Is it the effect of rising to B rank? Unlike before, the spear of me that was created and flew at a much faster rate pierced the body of the slime with a single shot. Wow... now the slime dies in one shot? I think its because the skill rank just went up. what? Did your skill rank go up? Today, I just got on the train. I got on the train. Enjoying the envious stares of her colleagues, Yurin set out to find another scapegoat. A precious and precious chunk of experience that will make her a wizard ranker. But... Ugh. what? All users in the slime habitat, including Yurin''s party, stopped moving at the sudden vibrating sound. Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak _ Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! A pitch-ck aura of darkness suddenly erupted from the ground they were standing on. A power that looked incredibly evil just by looking at it began to envelop the entire slime habitat. Then, an unknown voice began to be heard from somewhere. [Be angry, you weak beings sacrificed for no reason.] A creepy voice as if scratching a ckboard. The voice began to be heard clearly, as if in a whisper. [To the evil people who killed you, your kind who lived in peace.] Then, the ck energy wrapped around the slimes and quickly began to permeate them. [Blood revenge.] The eerie voice that couldn''t understand thest cry for revenge disappeared. There was no trace of the mysterious energy of darkness, but Yurin could feel it. what....? That these slimes running around in front of him were absolutely not the same slimes as before. Kwuuuuuu! Kwuuuuuuu! tong tong- tong tong- What are these guys doing? Slimes suddenly move in perfect order. The slimes, which had been divided into several groups and spread out sporadically, suddenly began to gather in one ce as if they had made an appointment. And they started toe together. As if it had originally been a single entity, its shape melted like jelly and was transforming into something gigantic. Dont stop! I don''t know what it is, but it''s an instinctive feeling of anxiety. Because of that anxiety, various parties, including Yurin''s party, began to fire arrows and other magic at the assembly of slimes. fish food. However, as if their attacks were meaningless, they were an assembly without a scratch. At the end of the ufortable wait of the users who showed a clear look of bewilderment, the aggregate of slimes began to form a single appearance. And at that moment, a message window began to appear to all users residing in the slime habitat and beginner viges. [The slime race, who loved peace more than anyone else while walking in the green fields.] [They were mercilessly ughtered for no reason by humans who suddenly appeared.] [After a lot of patience, they came to a conclusion. We don''t need more patience than this, we have to fight for peace.] [That''s why they sacrificed themselves. To give birth to a great monarch who will lead their entire race.] And what appeared in front of them was an incredibly gigantic green slime. A slime that looked to be about the size of a 10-story building with a crown on its head. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Wow. A huge shock wave hit the surroundings just by crying. Kuuuuuuuuuu! I almost died. What is that? scared. Hey! Kellon! Kelon is dead! A gigantic slime boasting overwhelming strength to the point that users with low physical strength would die with just a shock wave. And when Yurin saw the text that floated above the slime''s head, a quiet voice came out of Yurin''s mouth. [Lv. 100 King Slime] This crazy... I don''t know what happened, but Yurin knew. That the slimes they killed were reborn as boss-level monsters that were extremely hostile to humans. That too Lv. To an unapproachable level of 100. * * * ...What did Tan do? Jaeyoung asked Satan who was flying around his head shamelessly with an absurd face. why? Like you said, you strengthened the slime. No, I asked for it to be strengthened, but to make it to such an unanswerable level... Quaaaaaang- A huge roaring from far away. And an earthquake-like vibration hit the ce where Jaeyoung was. But as he pped his wings, Satan muttered with his eyes shining as if he was really having fun. Keukkeuk.... As expected, no matter how low-level creatures, even a slight awakening of vengeance can have a tremendous effect? To give birth to their own monarch. Jaeyoung couldn''t hold back his curiosity at Satan''s muttering words as if he was interested. What do you mean? Revenge? Looking at Jaeyoung, who didn''t seem to understand yet, Satan looked at him as if he was pitiful and said. Well, looking at the situation earlier, the humans were killing each and every slime that appeared. By sharing a little of your probabilities. what....? Probability is also strong. I didn''t pay much, but didn''t the species itself evolve one step at all? If it was just a little longer, I would have been able to just transfer to the demon world. Satan licks his lips in regret. It seemed that he quite liked the slimes who ran amok with vengeance. Of course, the humans who were struck by lightning because of them were suffering a great deal. Keugh... stop it! It can''t be pierced! Kwaaaaaaang! Quaang. Quaang. Too many! Besides, these bastards aren''t just trying to attack, they''re strategically trying to get in! Users and NPCs desperately blocking the slimes. It was easy to notice just by looking at their expressions that the furious slimes were reaching their limits. [Main Scenario Act. 1 A forgotten darkness has begun.] [Linked quest Catch the novice killer!'' has been deleted.] [Linked quest Slime''s Fury'' has been created.] Users who were eager to y all over the continent of Arcadia. They tilted their heads at the sudden quest. The main scenario? What''s this? However, after checking the contents, they could not close their gaping mouths. [Main Scenario Act. 1 Embryo of Forgotten Darkness] [Linked Quest Slime''s Wrath] An ancient, evil darkness now forgotten. The presence of darkness has awakened the slumbering fury of the slimes. Enraged slimes are trying to destroy the human habitation without a trace. Stop their attack and defend our home. [Victory Condition] - Defend the beginner vige (remaining time: 2 days 23 hours 57 minutes 24 seconds.) - Defeat King Slime 0/1 [Defeat Condition] - Destroy the beginner vige''s guard stone 0/1 < If the quest fails, the beginner vige It will be permanently destroyed. > A quest that flew in unexpectedly. It was absurd, but the content was even more absurd. What are you talking about? The beginner vige is permanently destroyed? A beginner vige where all users who start Arcadia pass through. In the early days of opening, most of the users were still based here. As such, it was a ce where the most information was revealed on the unknown continent of Arcadia, and it was also an essential ce for rapid growth and character development. By the way... such a vige disappears? It was something that users who had yed general RPG games onputers could not easily understand. Kwuuuuuuu! However, a brilliant crystal suddenly appeared in the za located in the center of the beginner vige, which is believed to be a guardian stone. And everyone was able to realize that the current situation was not a bluff while watching a group of slimes trying to approach the beginner vige with venomous eyes as if they were aiming for it. Stop! No matter what happens, we have to keep those bastards out of the way! What the fuck is this all of a sudden! After that, a fierce siege between users and slimes began. I was watching all of this as a single user in the beginner vige. What are you going to do? what? In response to Satan''s question, Jaeyoung asked what he was talking about. Right now, everyone is busy trying to stop those slimes. Do you think you can end all of this if you just secretly destroy that guardian stone? Satan, with his eyes shining and an evil smile, as if secretly hoping for that. However, Jaeyoung, who had been staring at him nkly, turned his head away and replied. for now.... I intend to watch. You''re watching? At Jaeyoung''s words, Satan made an expression that he did not understand, but soon began tough as if he realized. Ah, you''re saying you''re going to wait until thest moment and crush that hope desperately? Kkeukkeu... You really were an evil bastard? Leaving behind him, who seemed to be having a lot of fun, Jaeyoung gave a small smile as he looked at the messages window pouring in front of him. [Killed a beginner.] [Gained 1 probability.] [Killed a beginner.] [Gained 1 probability.] [Killed a beginner.] [Gained 1 probability.] Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Slime is Too Strong (6) Main Scenario Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Emerging. Chain Quest Slime''s Rage. Slimes suddenly go crazy. As a result, not only the users who were angry at the unexpected death, but also the gamepany, who neither intended nor expected this situation, could note to their senses. What the hell are you talking about! Did the main scenario quests get renewed? Another urgent meeting. At this emergency meeting, which was convened every day, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han''s face began to distort as he listened to the report from the quest analysis team. That''s it.... As a result of checking the data log on our side, data patching of unknown sources was made in real time. Shortly thereafter, a boss monster that we had never nned was created in the slime habitat that is currently in question, and is currently causing enormous damage. Boss monster. They are special beings with a level of strength different from ordinary monsters, regenerated at specific intervals, and deeply involved with rare rewards and hidden quests. Hundreds of boss monsters created by numerous development designers, scenario writers, and a team in charge of bnce. They were scattered all over the continent of Arcadia as thoroughly nned and intended. Each with an important role in a particr adventure and story. However, among all the boss monsters they nned, there was no existence for the beginner vige. A boss monster was created? Which guy are you talking about? The chief designer of the design team who remembers all the boss monsters he created with his own hands. In response to her question, the presenter turned over one slide. Then, on the screen that upied one side of the wall of the meeting room, a slime with bright eyes that became pure just by looking at its round, green appearance appeared. What is that...? A slime wearing a huge crown. Seeing the slime, the head designer''s face was stained with embarrassment. That''s because of the countless monsters created by her hand, the one on the screen was not in her memory. However, the presenter continued to exin the slime with a serious face as if he didn''t care about her reaction. Boss Monster King Slime. The slimes are the lords and the ones who lead the slime hordes that are currently attacking the novice vige. [Lv. 100 Boss Monster King Slime] -HP: 12000 -HP: 3500 -Physical Defense: 250 -Magical Defense: 120 -Physical Attack: 550 -Skill: Lord''s Roar. jump. -Attribute: Rapid regeneration of kinship consciousness. hatred of humans. A sigh came out of the mouths of those who were looking at the briefly written King Slime''s abilities. Anyone could see that it was not suitable for a beginner vige. No, level 100? Does it make sense for monsters like that to appear in a vige where new yers and beginners gather? Executive Director, we must strongly protest this to the head office. I don''t know what the developers there are up to, but it''s an abuse of authority and an abuse of authority to keep intervening in this way without consulting us, the operating entity. you''re right! We cannot condone the practice of making and applying ridiculous quests like this, as well as arbitrarily modifying the slime''s stats. It is said that it is the main scenario, but there is almost no information we currently know about the main scenario. Managers and team leaders of each department began pouring out all sorts ofints at this time. However, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was silent as he read the information about the currently active quests in the game in the report and was lost in thought. Main Scenario... Deleting the Killer Quest... and creating Slime''s Rage?'' Since the notification that the main scenario was created four days ago, iprehensible situations have continued to ur in the game. From the appearance of novice killers to the unknown stats of slimes. And even the current slime rebellion. After solving each puzzle in his head, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon looked at the people sitting in the conference room with a stiff face and asked. You guys... do you know what ourpany is aiming for? yes? When everyone was making puzzled faces at the sudden question, he said. Infinite possibilities, infinite freedom. A world in which their involvement ispletely excluded, which is different from the existing games where gamepanies proceed as nned. Arcadia''s autonomy was guaranteed to such an extent that even if a certain group of users took over the game and acted tyrannically, they would never intervene. Therefore, the authority given to Arcadia was also very limited, even to those who were in charge of the overall operation of the game. Do you really think that this situation was nned by us... or by the head office? Thezy people who entrusted all the detailed nning and events to us, saying that they were annoying? That word... This is the user''s work. Creation of the main scenario, beginner killer slime stat adjustment, and now this boss monster. entire. There''s no way that''s possible... Isn''t the quest''s creation log telling you this? Creation log of the ..... quest. A mysterious killer who appeared in the slime habitat. After his bizarre behavior, which was thought to be a concept, the expressions of those who began to see a series of situations that began to unfold strangely changed. Then, with a shocked face, he asked if he had reached a conclusion simr to that of Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han. Then... now all of this is because of that one user...? A mysterious user whose ess to information is strictly restricted. There was no clear physical evidence, but I had a suspicion close to certainty that the mysterious user was the originator of all these incidents. Headquarters'' real-time data patching or quest creation, which otherwise could not understand their intentions, were nonsensical, and everything fit in the context. Then, what should we do... No matter what, if the situation is caused by the users y, there is nothing we can intervene. In principle, the stories in the world of Arcadia are not created by thepany, but by the users themselves. Circumstances in which, in principle, they should not intervene. However, at the words of Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, Director Kang Tae-Hoon, who is in charge of nning and development within Arcadia, jumped up and jumped up. That doesn''t work. It''s not exactly confirmed, but the penalty for the main scenario currently in progress is too high. < If the quest fails, the beginner vige will be permanently destroyed. > A phrase at the end of this quest given to users. This phrase made everyone, including Director Kang Tae-hoon, ufortable. Destruction of the beginner vige? I don''t know if they really want to destroy the vige itself, but if the beginner''s vige is really deleted from the game... Director Kang Tae-hun blurted out his words as if he didn''t want to even imagine. How many arrangements have been made in the vige so that new users can adapt to the first virtual reality system called Arcadia while repeating vigil for such a long time? From quests for the basic adaptation to specially designed hunting grounds. To have all of that fly away in an instant was literally feeding the entire development team a huge and bulky taffy. The damage will be more than imagined. Both for our users and for ourpany. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han let out a small sigh as he saw General Manager Kang Tae-hun trembling as if he didn''t want to even imagine it. Apparently, the meeting was going to be longer than he thought. * * * Arcadia''srgestmunity, Arfandia. Thisrgemunity, with over 100,000 concurrent users, was explosively gathering users due to a series of sudden events. -Main scenario? suddenly? -No, it justes in without warning. What do you know? A quest linked to the suddenly announced main scenario. At first, many users were enthusiastic about the news that arge event had started, but soon they were shocked to see what was happening in the beginner vige. - These slimes are not the slimes you originally knew. be respectful -Anyone who touches the little slime is fucked. -Ugh hahahaha I went to catch him and he was caught. The entrance to a beginner vige that has literally be a field of corpses. A group of green slimes continued to approach beyond the bodies of countless users who had fallen in gray. Kwuuuuuuu! Kyuung! Slimes that look cute and innocent on the outside. However, to the users who copsed one by one from their torso headbutting or several focused attacks, they were fear and despair. ah! It''s getting really dirty! How many times has this been! Chew. Vern, who had cut another slime using his warrior skill Spinning sh, eximed nervously. I don''t know how many they''ve already killed and defended this beginner vige, but they were reallying in endlessly. But how long are you left? Lets hold out a little longer. that''s right. I thought it would be impossible because they told me to hold on for three days, but time passed like this before I knew it. [Remaining time: 14 hours 21 minutes 24 seconds.] The slimes were powerful and there were too many of them. But so did the users. The number of new visitors and subscribers is increasing day by day. In addition, users who had already returned to a certain level of growth were able to rapidly be stronger in the battle against the slimes. Still, isnt it worth holding on after winning the slime yer title? This title is acquired after killing over a thousand slimes. Thanks to the users who obtained this title, which increases damage and defense only for slime, they were able to defend the entrance of the beginner vige more stably than before. Well... that''s right. Bern was also able to reap many harvests after taking that title. I leveled up 4 times in 2 days and also got a magic grade item... Still, after holding only slime so repetitively, I was about to vomit just looking at its round green appearance. Lets try a little harder. If you finish this quest well, I think the reward will be pretty good. With someone''s encouragement, everyone guarding the entrance to the vige again prepared for battle. Looking at the slimes popping up again from far away. * * * Hmmm..... Jaeyoung was lost in thought as he looked at the window in front of him. [Killing beginners] Killing newbie users who have not changed jobs. -Number of novices killed: 32576 -Time remaining: 10 hours 23 minutes 14 seconds. A mission that was given a week''s time. With less than 12 hours left in the mission, Jae-young couldn''t help but look back at his actions while looking at the number of novices he had killed. 30 thousand. It is true that more than 30,000 novice users went straight to theher road because of Jaeyoung as soon as they set foot in Arcadia. Perhaps when he found out about this fact, it was such an enormous evil act that he would be chased by everyone at that moment. He would be like that too... Kiki Kiki Kiki... I think I''ve never seen a demon-like contractor like you among real humans. It''s to the point where even this little Satan who keeps giggling around excitedly admits it. The feeling of being recognized for evil deeds by the real devil was a bit strange, but Jaeyoung was satisfied with the probability of the huge numbers umted in a little over two days. -Probability: 22576 When catching and killing people one by one, the probability, which was so hard to collect, piled up exponentially without Jaeyoung noticing. So what are you going to do now? what? What is it? It seems that the situation has stabilized a lot now, but if we just sit still like this, humans will probably win? As Satan said, the slimes approached enough to threaten the center of the vige in the early days, but now they were all dying at the entrance of the vige. If there are no major incidents, the defense will seed and the situation will end with the victory of the humans. However, as the main culprit of this situation, Jae-young stood up as if he had made up his mind. I cant let it go like that. What is that bizarre outfit? Seeing him wearing a red hood so deeply that he couldn''t tell if it was originally that color or if it was stained with blood, and holding a rusty steel sword in one hand, Satan asked with an absurd look, but Jaeyoung smiled and said, No matter what, we have to decide on one side. Fight between slimes and humans. Jaeyoung decided to participate in the fight. On the side of non-human slimes. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Slime is too strong (7) Virtual reality. A device that allows users to experience virtual reality through direct data sharing between the brain andputer. Dreamer. [Virtual reality will literally change the life of the entire human race.] Numerous scientists snorted at the announcement that virtual reality would reveal itself to the world. [A direct connection between the brain and theputer? Where have you been abducted by aliens? Brain science is still in its infancy, but virtual reality!] [I don''t know where I heard that, but they''re probably all scammers or very crude garbage. Maybe it will take about 100 years for virtual reality to be developed?] First of all, Dreamer, who took off the veil, leaving behind those who asserted that it was a fraud, and Arcadia, a virtual reality world based on it. After these two were revealed, the world was caught up in a great cataclysm. [Direct connection between the brain andputer, nothing has been urately verified about the effects and dangers of it on the human brain!] [ This crazy technology has advanced so much that they have created such nonsense!] All of them are bullshit. Those who dismissed them were astonished and frustrated by the virtual space that seemed more realistic than the reality that embodied all five human senses. Even those who were proud of themselves as the best authorities in the field had no choice but to keep their mouths shut as they felt the potential of the three conglomerates who created these monsters and products made with enormously advanced science and technology that they could not dare to touch. Corporation Argos. Silicoff Bio Industries. Ajin Electronics. A product of parascience created by an unprecedented coboration between the world''s leading bio software and electronicspanies. No one could understand why they suddenly teamed up to develop such a ridiculous product, but what followed was even more iprehensible. [Eachpany will invest its capital and we will establish apany called Arcadia''. And we will provide Arcadia, another world based on virtual reality, to the whole world.] Arcadia Co., Ltd., a subsidiarypany created by a joint venture between three globalpanies. Afterunching Arcadia for the first time in the United States, thepany began to expand beyond Korea with tremendous expansion byunching or preparing for release in countless countries such as Europe, Australia, China, and Japan. And Lee Mi-yeon, the president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who leads such apany, was having a headache because of managing director Kwon Myeong-han who kepting in and out of her office. So... you mean I want to request permission to directly intervene in the situation that is happening in the game right now? Compared to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, President Lee Mi-yeon looks much younger. Looking now in her mid-thirties, she asked, carefully reading the report on her desk. That''s right. The current situation has deteriorated more than expected and is approaching an impossible situation. It''s better to take action now... At that, CEO Lee Mi-yeon took off her sses and sighed. It was the same with the slime stats adjustment the other day, but you said it was impossible, right? ..... At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han kept his mouth shut with a hard face. Seeing him like that, she said in frustration. Ourpany, Arcadia Co., Ltd., is apany that ns and develops the overall operation of the game and the details of event quests. How the things we develop are flowed and used in the game and what kind of stories are created are things that must be thoroughly seen in the hands of users. Limitless possibilities and limitless freedom. This is thepany''s motto and the first andst guidelines given by threergepanies that can be seen as the actual owners of thispany. Therefore, President Lee Mi-yeon also said firmly to Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, as if there was no room forpromise in this area. ept whatever resultse out and make appropriate responses at that time for the part to be dealt withter. I don''t want to hear any suggestion that we intervene to prevent the worst possible event from ever happening. But, sir! The current quest might destroy the beginner vige...! No matter how much you boast about infinite freedom, isn''t itpletely crossing the line topletely destroy a vige? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon knew everything about thepany''s guidelines and motto, but he was prepared to hear something about the fact that the beginner''s vige, which his subordinates had been implementing over and over again for a long time, could disappear within a month of opening like this. [Tiriling. A new update has been made. Please check the relevant information.] Suddenly, a very clear notification sound came from President Lee Mi-yeon''sputer. Notification sound when an automatic update by Alice urs. When Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who knew the meaning of the sound, turned pale, CEO Lee Mi-yeon checked the sound on the monitor. Chief of thepany... can it be that right now...? Anxiety creeping up from the depths of your heart. And as if that anxiety was correct, CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded as if executive director Myung-han Kwon''s prediction was correct. The beginner vige of the 2nd Continent, where Korean users y, has been destroyed as of the current time. That''s like that... Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon stood nkly with a dying face on his face. Looking at him as if his soul had run away, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said in a lively voice. Rted updates have already been delivered to the executive directorsputer, so please check them and report the actions taken ordingly. As soon as possible. A very vivid fantasy flickered in the eyes of the executive director who had given her advice. That is the look of the development department employees who must be frustrated and screaming in anger below them. * * * Kwuuuuuuu! Tong Tong- Tong Tong- The slimes are bouncing around and approaching the entrance of the beginner vige. Fuck die! Aaaaaaa! Please stop, you guys! Fire Lance! Fireball! Cute slimes, no, X-like slimes. After catching slime so much, now there are a lot of people showing a game just by looking at the green. It''s literally at the level of going crazy as if you''re suffering from collective PTSD. However, thanks to their efforts, the timer almost ran out before anyone knew it. [Time remaining: 12 minutes and 24 seconds.] Twelve minutes. The time limit of three hellish days was reduced to 12 minutes. That''s why those who killed another group of slimes began to cheer their victory early. Aaaaaaa! It''s finally over! Dont ignore human potential, you fucking jelly bastards! pensation!pensation! Main ScenarioOhhh! While people popped champagne here and there, saying that it was a human victory, Vern sat down at the entrance of the vige, gasping for breath. Ahhh... I really want to die. Bern, who resides at the entrance of the vige and focuses on defense without resting even once. Then a guard NPC approached him and asked. Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to protect this vige without dying. Is it because he saved me from dying several times? Looking at the guard who approached and expressed his gratitude, Vern nodded and said, What. Of course I did what I had to do. No. Seeing you reminds me of the brave and righteous fighter my grandfather once told me about. He said he always helped people in crisis, just like you did. Ah... yes... While Vern was answering with a confused expression, not knowing how to react to the sound of embarrassment, the guard asked him with a slightly serious face. If you have timeter, could youe visit me? The record of that fighter remains in my grandfather''s diary. random question. However, Bern''s eyes widened at the question. It was because of the translucent window that appeared in front of his eyes. [You have met all the requirements for the Hidden ss Guardian Transfer.] [Do you ept the quest Hero of an Old Story''?] Hidden ss. The fact that he was given the opportunity to change his job to a hidden job in the game that he had only heard about, Bern could not calm down his trembling heart. Wow... the main scenario is really crazy!'' A golden opportunity obtained through chance. Bern, who did not want to miss the opportunity, epted his offer calmly. Let it be. Im also curious about the projection of that story. The guard smiled contentedly at Vern''s answer. Then, he turned his gaze towards the crowd of slimes that were approaching again and said. Heh heh.... I will be waiting for you. Lets finish all of this for now. But Bern and the guards did not know. 10 minutes left until the end of the quest. The fact that the slimes will also do their best for the remaining 10 minutes. [The humans who brutally ughtered innocent slimes for a long time.] [The slimes, who couldn''t stand to see the atrocities of those humans, started resisting.] [ And decided for those who were burning with vengeance.] [Their rulers themselves Please step out.] A message suddenly popped up as soon as the remaining time reached 10 minutes. And along with that, at the entrance of the beginner vige, a huge greenish appearance that had never appeared before appeared with a loud roar. Wow. [Boss Monster King Slime has appeared.] [Remaining time: 9 minutes and 58 seconds. ] A round appearance. Pure and sparkling eyes. A cry that sounds cute. However, the huge and massive size of a 10-story building made it impossible to dare to say that it was cute. And that slime was slowly approaching the beginner vige. Aaaaaaa! crazy! What is that! Ah, you damn gamers. I knew it would be like this. 10 minutes left, why the fuck! Originally, thew should not be vignt until everything is over. King Slime, who appeared at the end of the quest as if trying to enlighten the natural truth of his life, began to jump out confidently among the users who greeted him with splendor. Kwaang- Kwaang- King slime''s movement that creates a roaring sound and vibration that is different from normal slime. Just by being covered by that massive body, the users had already disappeared into a gray light. There''s everything like that! Attack! Whatever it is, whether it''s magic or arrows, let it fly! Benefit... Magic Bolt! Firence! Ice Ball! Magic flying all over the ce. However, with a face as if this was the best thing to do, King Slime began to mercilessly crush the humans who attacked him one by one. Kwuuuuuuu! One-sided ughter. But in the middle of the confusion, someone shouted. 5 minutes! Hold on for 5 minutes! Once that bastard attacks, he can''t do anything because he''s busy catching and killing the attacker! If we keep them from going to the town square, we''ll win! A strategy found by the person who figured out the King Slime''s characteristics. It was a simple ignorant man-made tactic. yers had hope as they saw that the humans who attacked them had the highest priority over the guard stones in the town square. Fuck! Don''t worry about dying, attack first! Its okay if you dont take damage, so all those who can attack from a distancee and attack! Aaaaaaa! Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! This was a truly horrifying sight to see. Like the king slime that roars and roars and smashes the vige, as if it wants to kill all the moth-like humans who rush to it even though it knows it is dying. And while all of this was fussing around, the timer was approaching the end before anyone knew it. [Remaining time: 10.... 9.... 8.... 7.... 6.... 5.....] It''s over, you fucking jelly bastard! Someone shouted with 5 seconds left. Intoxicated with a sense of victory, he shouted at the guard stone in the town square and the king slime that was killing users from afar. And that moment when a simr sense of victory lingers in everyone''s eyes. Suddenly, numerous messages began to fill everyone''s eyes. [The guardian stone that guarded the vige was destroyed.] [The quest Wrath of Slime'' failed to clear.] [The beginner''s vige is permanently destroyed.] ...? Eh....? In a situation that everyone couldn''t understand, they stood there as if time had stopped and stared nkly at the message. A bloody killer wearing a dark hood. At his feet, holding a rusty iron sword,y the guardian stone of the shattered vige. And he said to everyone who was looking at him with an absurd face. Oops, my hand slipped. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The slime is too strong (8) [The guard stone of the beginner''s vige has beenpletely destroyed.] [Quest failed! The slimes won the battle with the humans!] This... what is this. A fierce battle in the beginner vige for three days. It was difficult, but the humans who thought they would eventually win after oveing numerous sacrifices stood in a daze as if they couldn''t believe the situation that was unfolding in front of them. Looking at the protagonist of the rumor, standing in front of a shattered guardian stone with a dark red and bloody hood deeply pressed down and holding a rusty iron sword. Oops, my hand slipped. Jaeyoung shrugs his shoulders in a voice full ofughter as if it was a mistake. People reacted explosively to his reaction. What the hell is that bastard! Hey you crazy bastard! What the hell have you done! That damn troll! For three days, countless people''s efforts to protect the beginner''s vige were all in vain because of a single trolling. In a situation where the sense of despondency and frustration rose by itself to simplyugh it off, they shouted out without anyone else. Get that bastard! nickname! Check your nickname first! From now on, I will dedicate my life to killing you! Those who run towards them with threatening gazes as if they will make them regret being born if they get caught. However, blinded by anger, they did not see those who ran toward Jae-young. The abnormal phenomenon that urred from the za where the guardian stone was destroyed. [Main Scenario Act. 1 Forgotten Darkness Emerging] [Linked Quest Slime''s Rage. Failed.] [Begoves Vige has been permanently destroyed.] [Apply this . ] What is this? Aeg! It feels strange! Ugh... its so sticky I cant move properly! A green sap suddenly started gushing out from the floor. The green sap started to cover the entire vige in an instant, and something like that sticky, swaying jelly caught the users'' ankles. And something started bouncing all over town. Kwuuuuu! Kyung! Kwyung! Kwaaaaang? As if wondering where this ce is again, the slimes started bouncing around with bright eyes as if they were curious. Seeing those slimes, the users couldn''t hide their bewilderment. What is it all of a sudden? No, hyung, why are you here! A beginner vige where slimes cannot regenerate. However, they were able to understand the phrase at the end of the quest when they saw tens of thousands of slimes bouncing around the entire vige. [The slimes who were treated contemptuously on the Arcadia continent. They fought against the humans who brutally ughtered them and eventually seeded in driving them out with victory . Kwuuuuuu! The slimes roared all at once as if they had won. In their bright and cute eyes, it seemed as if they could see a sense of pride, as if We won!'' [Slimes will thrive in the realm of the old humans. With the Lord leading them.] Quaang. A king slime that jumped to the ce that used to be a town square as if it were the main character. Coincidentally, this gigantic slime that had dug in between Jaeyoung and the humans was looking down at the remaining yers with a hostile expression. Kwuuuuuu-. [Beginner''s Vige'' has been changed to Slime''s Sanctuary''.] [The levels and stats of the slime race have been adjusted.] [Caution. You have entered the rmended level 80 hunting ground. Be mindful of y.] The users who were definitely in the beginner vige. However, in an instant, those standing in the middle of the green hunting ground muttered with a dejected expression after checking the rmended level. Ha ha... fuck. On this day, they were able to realize that they were being hunted in reverse by slime, who had been hunting mercilessly without any inspiration. That is the true meaning of jugaekjeondo. * * * [Game news of the day! This is Lee Na-young from TVG! Nice to meet you guys! Arcadia, the first virtual reality game that is very popr these days! The situation that happened there made the users feel very ufortable. Because of the main scenario that took ce in a beginner vige...] [I have been active as a game journalist for 5 years and as a gamer for over 20 years. It''s the first time I''m seeing it, so I''m really confused. What the hell is the gamepany thinking...] Main scenario quest failed. Deletion of beginner vige and change to hunting ground. And adjusting the ability of the slime. The series of events that urred this time had a tremendous ripple effect to the extent that the gamemunity as well as each game broadcast dealt with it in depth. - Oh, it''s really no joke. I deleted it, but it really gets rid of it. - Game level hahahaha. What drug did the developer take? -lol. New users who have just started air disintegration jam. -I know? When you start the game, do you start by digging in the slime den? -Revive the beginner vige, you damn gamepany. Users''ints have already started to spread like wildfire. Who would have ever imagined that the town itself would disintegrate in mid-air and turn into a green slime full of slimes? People''s dissatisfaction was enormous in a situation unprecedented in any game. However, despite theints of users, Arcadia''s position was firm. [It is not thepany that makes Arcadia, but the users. Slimes won the territorial dispute between humans and slimes, and the result is the current situation. There will be no restoration or adjustment regarding this, and thepany will never intervene in a simr situation in the future.] Infinite possibilities Infinite freedom. Emphasizing these two mottos, Ah Mng. A developer who throws out Don''t go back and change me!''. Still, I did take a few follow-up measures to see if there was a minimum conscience and morality. [In the future, there will be no beginner viges in Arcadia''s 2nd continent, where Korean users are ying, and we will adjust it so that new users can be randomly ced in viges or territories on the 2nd continent. Also.....] People reacted differently to Arcadia''s announcement, but everyone agreed on one thing. -That novice killer? I don''t know who he is, but he''s really great. -agreed. It wouldn''t be easy to pull aggro like that while ying. -Still, people who''ve seen blood because of him light up their eyes and only go around fooling around with the hooded guy. -The baby''s parents are probably going to live forever. -Maybe he didn''t know that it would go this way too? The situation where everyone is cursing the mysterious novice killer who created this situation in unison. However, because of the hood worn deeply, no one knew what it was. Only he checks people''s reactions and smiles bitterly. Well... I didn''t know it would turn out like this. Jaeyoung disconnected from ying for a long time to take a break. He took a bowl of cold water from the refrigerator, gulped it down, and muttered. Ha... It''s fun... but what are all the games without countermeasures like this? A situation in which the beginner vige itself ispletely erased and turned into a hunting ground just because one quest has failed. I''ve yed many games so far, but I''ve never seen a case where even Jaeyoung changes the map itself like this. The aftermath is even more so with the determination to immediately implement it without covering the front and back as if thinking about itter. -I ate the hidden former quest. This is one of the beginner vige defenders. By chance, I received a rted quest by fulfilling the conditions for changing to a hidden ss. However, the vige NPC who gave the quest has disappeared due to this incident. It''s really disappointing. How can I getpensation for this if I contact the gamepany? Countless negative aftermaths began to appear on the Inte, starting with a case where a key NPC disappeared after receiving a quest. Not just one vige disappeared, but the NPCs that existed in the beginner vige and the quests they gave all flew away somewhere in the other world. I don''t know, but it was no wonder that the gamepany employees who nned and developed all of that were sobbing somewhere. Ehh... I don''t know, but I think a lot of them were split to make that vige... So, since Jae-young is also a human being, he had no choice but to be stabbed by his conscience. Even if it wasn''t intentional... No, it was an act that couldn''t be helped for Jaeyoung''s own benefit, but there were so many people who saw blood because of it. No, but its not because I want to do it, the game itself drives me like that, so what should I do? Bard of Anarchy. There were many unfair things from Jaeyoung''s point of view because this job he got by chance forced all these ys. Besides ..... Like I''m doing right now.] A message from the developer as if they expected something like this. Recalling the yful voice that seemed to secretly expect something like this, Jaeyoung calmly organized his thoughts. Well, I''m not the bad guy, the crazy developer who made me do this is the bad guy. If you twist something, you can eat it even if it stops. Jae-young, convinced that he might be keeping an eye on himself because of this incident, but at least he was not going to punish him, decided to live shamelessly and got up. Weiying. Cell phone suddenly rings. After checking the contents of the text message, Jaeyoung frowned and checked the calendar on the wall. Has the time already been like that... After working so hard on virtual reality, the real time was approaching March before I knew it. [Seomin University Orientation Date Announcement.] A full message announcing the orientation date and time for university freshmen. Seeing this, Jaeyoung sighed and scratched his head. Well... but I guess I should pay attention to reality first, right? A reality that has been neglected since the start of virtual reality. Many people, including Jae-young, were quickly falling into virtual reality because it had a sense of immersion that was iparable to that of ordinaryputer games. Deep enough to forget reality. I have to buy new clothes first. I saw Jang at this point... After living in that disgusting countryside, he finally went to Seoul, but when he came up, he was stuck only in a capsule, and Jaeyoung was ready to go out. Excitement. Lets all try campus life-. Jaeyoung, who left the door humming a strange hum, was filled with anticipation. Life at a lively and lively university, not at a boys'' high school in the countryside where you lived in a dull school uniform. But Jay didn''t know. Seomin University, especially the Department of Computer Engineering, boasts a serious gender imbnce of 8:2. The fact that it is a male group. Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Computer Engineering? Department of Virtual Reality Engineering! Nice to meet you, new students! We are looking for new club members! If anyone is interested, bring the paper! New students? Everyone, please gather here! Seomin University freshman orientation. Jaeyoung was walking around the campus, looking around with curious eyes at the crowds gathered here and there. From the people whoe to advertise the club, to the student council executives who hold the orientation, to the fresh new students who have just entered the school. Hmm... But the atmosphere isn''t as bad as I thought, is it? Seomin University is ranked 81st in the national university rankings. Considering the many unknown universities located in the provinces, it was ranked in the middle, but it was never a good school to say so proudly, so if Jaeyoung was not in Seoul, he probably wouldn''t have thought about entering it. Jae-young imagined a gloomy atmosphere because there were so many students taking leave of absence and dropping out. Still, he thought of a university as a university as he watched the green youth gather andugh and talk. Hey... are you a freshman? Jae-young turned around at the sudden sound calling him. Behind Jaeyoung stood a male student who looked like a freshman. He wears sses and clothes that look like he''s wearing a chubby figure. It''s a preconceived idea, but just looking at it, it looks like you''re going to spend a long time in front of aputer desk. Jaeyoung nodded his head as he stared at him as he hesitated to ask in a voice without confidence. Yes, I am a freshman. Ah... Ah! Ho Do you know where we should gather now? I came a littlete because I came up from the province. Ah yes. They seem to be getting together now, but I think you can follow me. Feeling restless as if he thought he waste, he let out a sigh of relief at the fact that he hadn''t started yet and started following Jae-young. Jaeyoung started talking about various things with him. Is itputer science? Am I there too? Uh... Really? That''s our motive. Iknow, right. It''s a motive anyway, so let''s talk to each other. That... is that so? huh. That... then. Jaekyun Lim. Although he looks a bit dull andcks sense, Jaeyoung was able to talk a lot with him in a short amount of time. As expected, Jaekyun was also a huge game fanatic. You know the virtual reality game that came out this time called Arcadia. Did something huge happen there this time? There are monsters called slimes, but they suddenly became incredibly strong and destroyed the beginner vige itself. okay? really! Do you know how gamepanies responded to that? It really wiped out the beginner vigepletely from the game. Isn''t that great? One quest in the game can have an impact on the whole. This is a great innovation! Jae-kyun''s excited voice must have been loud, but when the eyes of the people gathered in the lecture hall were focused on the two, a person entered the lecture hall. uh? Who is it? Orientation is usually conducted through the department''s student council or seniors. However, what appeared on the podium in front of the ssroom was none other than an elderly middle-aged man. Wee to all new students. I am Professor Kim Tae-hoon of the Department of Computer Engineering. Full professor and senior professor in the Department of Computer Engineering. Not only the new students sitting in the seat, but also the student council executives standing behind were unaware of the fact that he appeared at the freshman orientation, staring at him in bewilderment and whispering to each other. He stood on the podium with a serious face, looked at everyone, and opened his mouth. Im sorry that I interfered in the wee of the new students, but I stopped by because I had something to say to all the new students and to the seniors who are already working hard in their studies in the Computer Engineering Department. As everyone focused their eyes on him at his words, Professor Kim Tae-hoon started to make a bombshell announcement to everyone. You are probably familiar with the technology of virtual reality in the media. Now, that''s what''s revolutionizing theputer science world. And after a lot of discussion, we concluded that the curriculum of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, which has been going on so far, has difficulties keeping pace with the current wind of change. virtual reality. As Professor Taehoon Kim said, the emergence of virtual reality technology haspletely overturned the paradigm of rted academia. Numerous knowledge that is proud to be thetest technology has be obsolete, and countless technologies that cannot understand the depth of it have been applied and utilized. So, after continued deep discussions with the school board and officials from the Ministry of Education, the final decision was made. From this year, Computer Engineering Department'' will change the department name to Virtual Reality Engineering Department''. In addition, the department curriculum was also decided to bepletely revamped. However, as it is the beginning of a new semester, there will be no major changes right now. But starting next semester, things will probably change a lot. So... His words caused a stir in the ssroom. There was no one who couldn''t be shaken when I informed the freshmen who had just entered that the department they would enter would bepletely changed. However, just by looking at the student council executives whispering to each other behind the scenes with expressions ofplete ignorance, I could guess how hastily this was decided. We know that this change is confusing to you. However, if we do not adapt to this revolution that is blowing in the industry right now, the reality in front of you after graduation will probably be nothing but weeding out. Arcadia. Professor Taehoon Kim encountered this game and felt fear beyond shock. It was not a bare virtual reality at the primitive and basic level of infancy. It was another reality that boasted wless technology that perfectly realized the five human senses. The fact that such technology was applied and came out into the world made him realize how shallow and lowly his academic knowledge was. That''s why he strongly demanded the entire board of directors, including the university president. Ask for a chance to change in line with the technology of virtual reality. If not, I would rather get rid of the entire department. Anyway, even if I go outside with the things I am learning at this school, I will be treated as a rice bug who will not be able to use the contents of my major anywhere. That''s why he looked at the freshmen sitting in front of him earnestly and said. You are at a great crossroads right now. Either adapt to the new changes and go out into society as an outstanding future talent, or be a young outcast because you can''t get out of the existing way of thinking, let alone adapt to the changes. And by all means I hope you all can keep up with the changes. He made a wish-like request and left the ssroom. Even after Professor Kim Tae-hoon left, everyone kept their mouths shut and immersed themselves in their own thoughts. And, very different from the first atmosphere, the orientation ended formally in a hazy atmosphere. A change that began amidst the concerns and confusion of many. But they didn''t know yet. The fact that this change, initiated by Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s strong demand, is the beginning of Seomin University''s growth into an engineering college leading the next-generation future industry, whichter opened the world''s first virtual reality department and fostered numerous virtual reality-rted talents. I mean. * * * Ughhh... it''s finally over. Shall we go eat some rice? Is that so? After the orientation, Jaeyoung left the ssroom with Jaekyun. The two of them went to the cafeteria together and bought a meal ticket. While waiting for the food to be served, Jaeyoung listened to a discussion on the extrarge TV on the wall. [Look at this! Now that virtual reality games have started service in Korea, does it make sense that there are still no rtedws?] [Who is responsible for theck of rtedws? Isn''t this situation because everyone refuses to cooperate and tries to makews ording to each party''s taste! And we''re not alone. The US has also proposed a virtual realityw'', but it has already been rejected with numerous objections.] [That''s because it was still proposed before the technology was announced, and the US has already passed the rted bill urgently and started preparing to nurture and grow rted talent. Why is the government doing nothing and letting go!] [Isn''t it a technology that hasn''t even been tested yet! If a problem that causes even serious side effects to the human body is discovered, how can you promote it! We need to spend more time watching! There have already been several medical papers about the serious side effects that direct connection with the brain will cause...] Discussion of current affairs that is fiercely contested. It was quite a sight to see the two panels arguing with red faces without even knowing they were spitting, but since the subject was also about virtual reality, both Jaeyoung and Jaekyun watched immersedly without even knowing that the food was served. Jaeyoung, dont you y Arcadia? At Jaekyun''s question, Jaeyoung shook his head after thinking a little. Hmm... I want to, but the capsules are too expensive. I haven''t done it yet. He was shouting that the high-end capsule that upied half of his room was a tant lie, but Jae-young did not want to tell Jae-gyun that he was ying yet. Especially since he is a user who ys Arcadia. -The first wish is to desire the murderer, and the second wish will be the pups, and the third wish will be the destroyed baby to eat. - Does anyone know the identity of the killer? -Can''t you file a im for damages? I can''t forgive you for flying away from your hidden job. The situation is already full of people who are enthusiastic(?) for his y. I don''t know, but Jaeyoung denied the question at first because it was unclear how he would react if he knew about Jaeyoung''s identity. Then Jaekyun nodded as if he understood. Well, isnt it a bit burdensome to buy with college student pocket money? Because the entry-level price is 10 million won. Ten million won. How many college students in the country can afford this high price, which is equivalent to the price of a used car? Of course, the installment policy was excellent, but it was not at a level that the pockets of poor college students could afford. Of course, there were a few people like Jaeyoung who signed installment contracts like ve contracts as if they were selling their souls to the devil. So you are ying Arcadia? Jaejoong''s question. At that question, Jaekyung smiled and nodded. then. Even if it looks like this, the level is quite high. okay? huh. Let me know if you ever start, and I''ll help if I can. These days, the locations where new characters are created are all random, so it might be a bit difficult, but thats okay. Jae-gyun speaks with a confident face. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung took it lightly. Okay, Ill tell you when I do itter. lol. then. Jae-gyun puts a spoonful of rice with a pleasant smile. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung also started eating. That''s how Jaeyoung made his first friend in college. I didn''t know these two yet, butter people look at these two and say. Department of Computer Engineering, no, Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. They are the biggest idiots in history and ecosystem disruptors with natural talents from the sky. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 My Familiar is Jae- Young, who returned home from the Daemawang University orientation. Gray-colored Dreamer luxury capsules upying most of the small studio space. The whole world was making noise because of this capsule. Until now, I hadn''t experienced anything special, but seeing the situation where the identity of the department waspletely overturned, I began to feel it. Well... Now that it''s like this, I can y the game to my heart''s content. Everything has already been decided. I thought about what to do if I objected to this, but it didn''t really matter to Jaeyoung, who had just entered school. If my parents, who came to see me for a while, saw the capsule and asked what it was, I had a good excuse that I couldn''t help it because of the nature of the department, so I just thought I should use it. Jae-young, who decided to put aside her thoughts on the department for now,y down on the connector and connected to Arcadia. [Wee to the fantasy world of Arcadia.] The same voice every time. Hearing that fantastic voice, it was none other than the little devil with ck wings who weed Jaeyoung into the game. what! Why is it taking so long! [Satan, the lord of chaos.] On the outside, he looks like a small imp, but he has a title that can never be ignored. Jaeyoung''s familiar, Satan, pped his wings and spoke to him in an annoyed voice in front of him. I stayed up all night for several days. I came to rest. Ah, anyway, Im weak and fall for it. This is why you shouldnt make contracts with humans, won. During the waiting time, the side of Satan, who continued to grumble as if he was bored, was full of green slimes that gathered plumply. Kwuuuuu! Kwuuu! As the slimes gathered here and there seemed to like Satan and rushed at him in an attempt to rub it in, he climbed onto Jaeyoung''s head with a disgusted face. Ugh! Go away! You jelly bastards! It''s sticky and weird! As if he had been beaten several times, Jaeyoung looked at the slimes flocking here and there and the surroundingndscape as Satan made a terrible expression on his head. Um... but there are still traces of the vige. A slime sanctuary that used to be a vige for beginners. Most of it was destroyed and disappeared buried in the sticky green slime, but Jaeyoung felt a bit bitter looking at the familiar-looking ruins that still remained here and there. Of course, he is the main culprit of this situation, but he made friends with some NPCs while doing the tutorial quests before, but all of them were in a state of unknown whereabouts. Can we get out of here now? Do you think you''ll throw up if you look at the color green? Satan said he was sick of slimes. Jaeyoung nodded as he agreed with that opinion. Okay, go back now... Quaang. Just as he was about to step out of the slime''sir, a huge slime flew in from somewhere and blocked Jaeyoung''s path. Kwuuuuuuu! A king slime the size of a giant building. He approached Jaeyoung with a menacing leap. However, the momentum spreading from the slime was not hostile. Rather, it was a strong pleasure, like meeting a friend. [The King Slime expresses his gratitude to the yer.] [The slime race will forever remember your contributions in driving out humans and establishing a territory only for slimes. You are the eternal benefactor of the slime race!] [The title Friend of Slime'' has been changed to Savior of Slime''.] [ You have obtained the reward slime essence.] [Probability has increased by 2413.] [Mission Quest Beginner The killing isplete.] A lot of text fills up in front of your eyes. Jaeyoung began to check the rewards he had acquired one by one. [Title Savior of Slimes] He saved the slime race from a great crisis and helped them prosper. They will never forget that grace and will remember you forever and praise you as a savior. -Recognizes slimes as cognate. -Water attribute +10 -Intelligence +5 -Physical resistance +5 Title. Jaeyoung was satisfied with the fact that he had obtained the title. It is also true that the title of Arcadia isposed of a system that is different from other games. Of course, there weremon titles that could be obtained simply by collecting or killing something, but there were also special titles. These were what people called Special Titles. Titles appropriate to the situation were given to individual users when they achieved a unique y that was different from others, especially something that no one had achieved in the game. Until now, only a few people have acquired special titles, so there is almost no rted information. And Jaeyoung was able to obtain such a special title through this mission. Even though it was a title that could not be shown to anyone. Beginner killer. And the slime savior. He probably didn''t know it, but Jaeyoung licked his lips and closed the status window, as it was clear that he would soon be caught and forced to log out while wearing this title. Kwuuuuu! The slimes all cried out in unison as if they were thankful. Seeing them like that, Jaeyoung licked his lips and waved his hand. Jeop.... Well, I did it for the mission, but since it ended up like this, live well here. Because no one seems to being to kill you. After those words, Jaeyoung moved out of the slime''s sanctuary. And the slimes watched his back for a long time. As if I would never forget him. * * * A novice vige that haspletely disappeared. However, users were able to find a way to rece the beginner vige faster than expected. - Instead of a beginner vige, there is a territory called Baron Mikhail 10km to the north. The level of the surrounding monsters is reasonable and the items are moderate, so it would be okay to y here? - Oh, I went there too. Maybe it''s because it''s the closest to the beginner''s vige. -Somehow, it seems that people are sneaking in these days. The closest city to the Beginner''s Vige. From beginners who had fallen off to Baron Mikhail to those whose level wasn''t that high yet, all of them gathered in huddles and began to flock to them. And Jaeyoung was also included in that group. stop. What is your name? This is Dex. When the guards blocked the entrance to the manor and asked for his name, Jaeyoung calmly told him his name. Then the guards frowned as if hearing the name for the first time and asked. Dexra... are you also from a beginner vige? Yeah what... is that right? As if this is not the first time this has happened, he said as he raised the spear again with a troubled face. What the hell happened? Are the slimes going crazy? A guard asks with a bewildered face if he heard the rumors somewhere. In fact, the fact that the beginner vige was destroyed by the slimes and the territory itself was taken over by them was hard to believe for the NPCs in Arcadia. That a fragile creature with bright and cute eyes is taking over a human vige. The guard''s eyes were full of suspicion, just like everyone else. What... youll probably find out when you go there yourself? It''s not the slime you know. Although it''s probably going to theher with a body-butt of the slimes that arepletely different enough to be sent to Our Slimes Are Different''. At Jaeyoung''s words, the guard let out a sigh and said. The purpose ofing here is... I wonder if you came here to settle down? I''ll let it pass for now, but just in case it doesn''t cause any problems. Entering the vige thanks to the guards who passed it surprisingly easily, Jae-young asked, looking sideways at Satan who was looking around with only his face poking out from above. Tan, what do you keep looking at? Jaejoong''s question. At that question, Tan muttered as he narrowed his eyes. Hmm... Something looks familiar here... Familiar? When Jaeyoung asked, Tan immediately shook his head. Umm... no... but why do you keep calling me Tan? ...Then should I call out your name in a crowd? [Satan, the lord of chaos.] His familiar with the name Satan. I don''t know when I''m alone, but it''s perfect for strange suspicions or misunderstandings when I''m in a crowded ce calling out this little devil''s name. So Jaeyoung decided to call him by a different name. Thats why I will call you Tan from now on. know that. No, well... it doesn''t matter... but do we have to go that far? Tan, who seemed to be iprehensible with a confused face. But Jaeyoung was adamant. It was absolutely not eptable to be hostile to a strange church that imed that Satan had descended and that summoners had to be purified with fire. And Tan was also more interested in other things than how to call himself. Anyway, how are you going to do that? what? That power. Uh... did you say probabilities? It seems like there are more of them than when I first saw them? probability. The number of beginners Jaeyoung killed through this slime incident and the end of the mission was beyond imagination. -Number of novices killed: 41138 More than 40,000 dead. Over 40,000 beginners were fed 24-hour ess restrictions for a week. And as a result, Jaeyoung''s newly acquired probability was far greater than before. - Probability: A situation where the stats exceed 30,000 without realizing it, including the probability additionally received through clearing the 33551 mission. Tan swallowed his mouth and asked if he liked the possibility. Can you give me all of that? Tan''s soft question. However, Jaeyoung said firmly. no. ah! why! You can''t write without me anyway! Give me all of them and I''ll give you something really good! Tan waved his hand in the air again and seemed to be looking for something. But Jaeyoung stopped him urgently. If I need anythingter, I''ll tell you then. Until then, just wait. The other day, Tan pushed out a 150-made unique item, saying let''s exchange it for probability. Thinking of his history, the anxiety that he might bring even a legendary item this time overwhelms him. It''s a situation where there are a lot of people passing by on the street. Sheesh. You pretend to be very expensive. Tan, with a sullen expression, vomits his dissatisfaction. But what? In the contractual rtionship, he was a thorough Eul, and what he regrets right away is not Jae-young. Although Jaeyoung''s power of probability was very, very coveted, he had no choice but to remain silent as there was nothing he could do right now. So where are we going now? Looking at Jaeyoung, who continued to walk, Tan asked. Jaeyoung continued to walk along the main roads of the castle, carefully examining his surroundings. Im getting a rough estimate. Its easier to find your wayter when you know where things are. So, Jaeyoung started to look around to see what kind of NPCs were in the vige, what the market price of the items sold in the store was, and what kind of quests there were. Recently, the lord ordered to increase the amount of iron ore mined, but it''s a big deal. How do you mean more? Arent you working by reducing the time you sleep and the time you take breaks? So that is it. I am afraid that if we do not increase the amount of mining by the given date, we will be punished severely. And Jaeyoung was able to learn a quest from two miners who were talking with serious expressions in a tavern. Maybe I can solve the problem. Ohhhh! Is it possible? Then please! The two miners are happy with Jae-young''s eptance. From above, Tan watched the whole scene, tilted his head, and asked. what? Suddenly, what kind of iron ore? What are you doing, youre breaking the quest. The Demon King couldn''t understand Jaeyoung''s sudden intervention in the problems of the miners, but Jaeyoung said as if it were natural. As one of the users who enjoys Arcadia, it was impossible for him to ignore the quest he found. But Jaeyoung didn''t know what huge and vicious consequences the quest he just epted would have. Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Mines Need ves (1) Baron Mikhail. This territory near the novice vige included part of Pagon Mountain, a huge mountain range that runs through the middle of the 2nd continent. A mine that mines iron ores buried in Mt. Pagon. The economic activities of Yeongji through this mine naturally developed in a direction specialized in manufacturing such as mining and smelting. Sell iron ore! 20 bronze each! We repair equipment below level 20 for free. I sell weapons that I made myself. It is a cksmith skill C rank work! In the town square,mercial activities rted to production were actively taking ce, from free sharing to raise users'' iron ore trading skill proficiency and sales of self-made equipment. [Quest miners'' troubles] As directed by Baron Mikhail, secure and bring iron ore for the miners who need to increase the amount of mining in the mine. -Iron ore 0/20 < You may receive additional rewards depending on the excess iron ore. > Iron ore collection quest. Simr to Jaeyoung, there must have been many users who received this quest, and there were many people in the vige who were constantly looking for iron ore. I buy 20 iron ores cheaply to break the miners quest! Can you give the miners something good if they collect more iron ore? Isn''t there anything other than just getting a little more likes and giving you a little more money? is it so? ah what is it I thought you were giving me something good. If you''re going to beat the miner''s quest, just buy iron ore and beat it. It''s hard to mine, and the road to the mine is incredibly long. Oh yeah? Iron ore mines located on Mount Pagon. These mines, which are estimated to contain a huge amount of iron ore, were ying their role as the main source of ie for the estate. Recently, however, a problem has begun to arise, and that is the issue of supply and demand of iron ore. The iron ore has run out. what? already? Iron ores sold daily by the territory manager NPC. This amount, which is periodically updated every morning, quickly ran out due to the demand from countless NPCs and users, and the price skyrocketed day by day due to unmet demand. Umm... And the owner of the estate, Baron Mikhail, looked at the report in his hand and asked with an expression of iprehension. ording to the Treasury Department report, the price of iron ore has risen by 50%pared to the previous month. Is this true? That... yes. At Baron Mikhail''s cold voice, the treasurer lowered his head as if he had no face. Then Baron Mikhail''s voice rose a little higher. What is the reason why there is a problem with the supply and demand of iron ore? I understand that the mines you have are already operating at full capacity, right? Iron ore prices soar. Basically, it was because the supply of iron ore could not catch up with the consumption ording to the principle of supply and demand, but there was another more fundamental reason than that. That... That''s why there have been a lot of adventurers who have flowed into the territory recently, and a lot of adventurers aspired to be cksmiths, so the demand for iron ore skyrocketed. Destruction of the novice vige. Most of the refugee users derived from that were all absorbed into Baron Mikhail''s estate. And since most of them were beginners who hadn''t even changed jobs yet, many of them naturally chose cksmith as their profession due to the nature of his territory, which was specialized in manufacturing. ...That''s troublesome. If you simply think that more people dream of bing cksmiths, it can be said that it is a good thing, but from the lord''s point of view, it was not the case at all. That would be true, too, because cksmithing and other production-rted jobs required a lot of time and effort. Master. Basically, in order to make equipment that is recognized by everyone and everyone wants to use, you need to reach the level of a craftsman in the production line. However, in order to be a craftsman, you have to concentrate on production for a long time, and the amount of materials, including iron ore, used to do so was astronomical. Do you know how difficult it is to be a cksmith? You shouldn''t let go of the hammer except when you''re eating and pooping. If you want to be a craftsman, you have to hammer while you sleep? It is a stage where you can only bloom if you work hard on production like that. It was true that it was remote for the majority, but if even one artisan was born, the positive effect on the territory would be enormous. It was to the extent that even other territories and even other countries woulde for one production request. The biggest problem is that the number of miners does not change, unlike the cksmiths who have increased. One fact that people misunderstand is that miners are unprofessional. However, that was not the case. Mining ore in the mine was something that could not be done by a person who did not have an extraordinary eye, strong muscle strength, enormous physical strength, and a lot of know-how umted in experience. In fact, since the fact that mining iron ore is extremely inefficientpared to time is known, all but a few users who specialize in mining for the purpose of making money buy and use iron ore that is released on the market. As a result, many people were suffering from this vicious cycle in which only thepetition to secure a property was overheated while the shortage of stock remained. Especially the NPCs who operated the existing smithy, not the users. Oh Aiden! It''s been hard since early morning. It''s getting harder and harder to get iron ore from this guy. Eh... Isn''t that why you''re waiting for me toe out so early in the morning? Iden had been waiting in front of the direct sales store in the territory since early morning to buy iron ore to produce a requested item from a merchant. Taking the lead over countlesspetitors behind him, he was fortunate enough to secure the necessary amount of iron ore. 326 iron ore. All in all... 48 silver and 90 bronze. What what? 48 silver? Iden went through his pockets to pay the bill. He looked shocked at the salesperson''s words and stammered until he asked. Hey, Kevin! Could it be that there is a misunderstanding? 48 silver? A much higher price than expected. However, Kevin said firmly in a dry voice. Iron ore prices have risen. It''s 15 bronze per piece... 48 silver and 90 bronze, right. Iron ore is 15 bronze each? It must have been 10 bronze untilst month! Iden, who had been working at the forge for a while. He shouted in horror at the price of iron ore, which had risen by almost half, as if he hadn''t heard of the recent surge in iron ore prices. Aiden protested and argued with a red face and tried to cut the price somehow, but in the end he had no choice but to empty his pocket and buy less iron ore than he thought. And a situation like this was amon problem not only for Iden, but for others as well. No, how are you going to make a living if the price of iron ore rises like this? Egugugu.... Do I have to go digging for iron ore myself when I get older? Ay, at this price, it would be rather a loss to make something. I will not! Rather, it is a situation where you lose money by making things. Because of that, the existing cksmiths''ints were increasing, but the situation in the mine was also simr. No, doubling production? Right now, we are saving our sleep at night and mining with torches on. More than this is difficult. There is not enough people, and the miners who are present are very tired. No more work than this... The owner of the mine, the lord, gave direct instructions to increase the amount of mining. The manager of the mine had no choice but to push and urge the miners, but the miners were already struggling in poor conditions. They started bubbling like a boiling pot because of the janitor who pushed them to a harsh level of work beyond the crowd. And in such a situation, Jaeyoung entered the iron ore mine located in Pagon Mountain. Can I mine iron ore here? A mine where the sound of a pickaxe swinging here and there is loud. After looking around inside, Jaeyoung settled down in a secluded ce and took out a pickaxe. A pickaxe that lookspletely different from others. Jaeyoung, who started wielding the pickaxe, which looked unusual just by looking at it, soon began to fill the area around him with a huge amount of iron ore and rock debris. Caca caga caga caga caca caca gang. Super fast mining. Jae-young begins to dig up minerals at a speed that is unbelievable for a first-time miner, even a miner who has been mining for decades is impossible. Looking at him like that, Tan said with a nonchnt expression. What on earth are you doing useless things like this while consuming even the probability? [Demon Destroyer - Unique] A pickaxe made by processing the ws of a mole predator in the Pandemonium. -Equipment limit: 10 -Durability: 10000/10000 -Special skill: Sensitive sense of mining eleration. - Mining speed is greatly improved. - The probability of mining failure is greatly reduced. -Advanced materials are found with a chance. Tan in the position of the Demon King. The probability that Jaeyoung possesses is just one of the abilities that are useless to him, but it was a very important power to him who rules the demon realm as a demon king. The power to twist and change thews of the world. I epted this absurdpulsory contract, thinking that if I umted that power to the maximum, maybe the demons could rule this world. Despite being the Demon King, Satan, as a familiar, decided to go around with Jaeyoung and try to extract as much probability as possible. However, he couldn''t help but be embarrassed every time by the contractor''s erratic behavior. Arent they asking for a pickaxe to make the slime stronger? Tan stared at Jaeyoung, who was working hard on pickaxing, and recalled the conversation he had with him yesterday. Satan thought that if he threw a few pieces of equipment from the Demon World that could be used roughly, he would give it up on its own. But he tly rejected the offer. Dex I''ve been thinking about it, and you seem to have a lot of probabilities! After a lot of hard work, I found something that was just right for me? Can''t we exchange it for this one? -Probability: 33551 Huge amount of probability over 30,000. Coveted for the enormous power that he felt vividly whenever he was close to him, Tan could not ovee his greed and pushed him with an essory made by a dark spirit, which is rare even in the Pandemonium, and tempted him to change it. [Tears of Darkness - Epic] A dark spirit that is born in very rare circumstances. A ne made from thest tears they shed before they lost their innocence and fell. -wear limit: 220 -durability: infinite -dark affinity +50 -dark attribute +80 -evil skill Lv. +2 -Special Skill: Dark Veil Frenzy Night. - When worn, it bes hostile to the spirits. - Dark spirits no longer attack the wearer first. -You can detect stealthed enemies. Just looking at them, their jaw-dropping abilities. Considering that it is an Epic grade, it is certain that it will be sold at a price of billions even if it is put on the exchange. However, Jaeyoung pondered for a moment and then shook his head. This is not so much fun. It''s a total scam, isn''t it? what....? Tan is speechless at thepletely unexpected reaction. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said as if it was natural. Its good to make money, and its good to be strong, but first of all, Im purely enjoying the adventure. But even if you hold such a ridiculous thing, you won''t be able to wear it, and if you try to sell it, you''ll only get a lot of people''s attention. It''s a thing that''s literally like a gyereuk. In addition, the level limit was extremely high, so it was difficult to find anyone willing to buy it right away. Rather, it only bought useless attention because of people wondering how they got these items. That''s why Jaeyoung looked at Tan seriously and said. If you really want to be so probable, get out a pickaxe that I can use. what? pick? what do you do with that? Jaeyoung suddenly asks for a pickaxe. When Tan asked that request, Jaeyoung replied with a grin. What? Break the quest. A quest to collect iron ore. Jaeyoung, who asked for a pickaxe to solve the quest, eventually paid 8,000 probabilities and got a unique pickaxe from Tan. Anyway... it''s unique. Jaeyoung is frantically digging for minerals. As expected, countless spears were floating in front of him as he was digging iron ore in an instant to the point that the game was equipped with equipment. [You have acquired the skill mining.] [You have acquired iron ore.] [You have acquired iron ore.] [You have acquired iron ore.] [Inadvertent luck! You have acquired the silver ore.] [Coincidental luck! Tin has been obtained.] [Iron ore has been obtained] [Iron ore has been acquired] [Coincidental luck! You have obtained the raw magic stone.] Rare metals that asionally pour out due to the effects of unique items. Jaeyoung smiled as he looked at the rapidly filling inventory. Not even imagining what trouble those minerals would bring. Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Mines Need ves (2) Mount Pagon. This mountain with a huge amount of iron ore deposits is an important asset of Baron Mikhail. Because of the abundance of iron produced here, it is safe to say that the artisans gathered and the equipment they produce ounted for most of the territory''s economy. However, Baron Mikhail looked at the recently gathered adventurers with an annoyed gaze. The noisy chatter of stalls spread out in the central square was enough to annoy him. Selling the dagger! It''s the first piece I''ve ever made! We will repair your equipment for free! We are selling handcrafted grade B or higher equipment! Adventurers who have just entered the cksmith''s path. They were selling their own equipment, but in the eyes of Baron Mikhail, it just looked like crude and crude trash. Eh... to spend all that precious iron making something vulgar like that. Due to the rapid increase in the number of novice cksmiths, the demand for iron, which had already been increasing, exploded, resulting in a shortage of iron. And as a result, many workshops were expressing difficulties. Lord, if we don''t get a proper supply of iron this time , we won''t be able to meet the delivery date with the contracted merchant ... ..... Washing your face was tight. As it began to show signs of diminishing further, Baron Mikhail''s stress began to increase. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn''te up with a solution to ovee this problem. Is it impossible to obligate adventurers to mine? ording to Article 128, paragraph 1 of the Continental Act, it seems impossible. Keuk... Then, what about selling the produced iron to artisans first? That is also not possible because of Article 128 Paragraph 2 of the Continental Statute. Then... Aw that transcends all kingdoms and empires and applies to the entire continent of Arcadia. Because of this decree prohibiting discrimination against adventurers who travel all over the continent, there is very little room for Lord Mikhail to directly intervene. Because of this, the conversation with the judge only made my head hurt more. Ugh... these damn things. Things that don''t help the manor at all. In the eyes of Baron Mikhail, the adventurers seemed nothing more than unwanted refugees. However, since there was no way to force them out or stop them from buying iron, all they could do was encourage the miners to increase iron production as much as possible. buzz buzz. An exchange that buys and sells iron ore mined in mines. Baron Mikhail, who was passing by, saw arge number of people huddled in the exchange, and was drawn to it by curiosity. And the voices of excited people came from the exchange. crazy! What on earth is all this iron ore? Iron ore is the problem, man? Look at the gold and silver mines here! There are magic stones here too! Where else did you get this? A huge amount of ore piled up in front of the exchange. Upon seeing the small mountain of ore, Baron Mikhail''s eyes widened. The densely piled iron ore was a surprise, but the rare minerals that shimmered all over the mountain of iron ore shocked him. Where do these mineralse from? Wo lord? What are you doing here...? The people were taken aback by the sudden appearance of Baron Mikhail. And their eyes quickly focused on one person. Are you the one who mined these minerals? A person who caught people''s attention. When Baron Mikhail asked him, seeing him wearing a pickaxe that was unusual to see on his back, he nodded calmly. So what? An attitude that was too imposing to show to himself as a nobleman and the owner of the estate. From that appearance, Baron Mikhail knew that he was an adventurer, and soon the baron was curious about him. Unlike other adventurers who turn hard-earned resources into rubbish, I like his sincerity in digging up the ores needed for the territory. If you have time, would you like to have a cup of tea with me? So the baron invited him to the lord''s castle. With a strange expectation that Lee Ja might solve Yeongji''s problem. * * * If you have time, would you like to have a cup of tea with me? A bearded man who suddenly appears from somewhere and proposes a tea time. In reality, he would have hated it and rejected it, but Jaeyoung couldn''t refuse it even because of the message in front of him. [Baron Mikhail is curious about you.] [Your friendship with Baron Mikhail increases.] [Baron Mikhail invited you to the castle. Do you ept?] ...What is it?'' Jaeyoung focused on mining for two days. Returning with his inventory filled to the limit, he gave a huge amount of iron ore to the miners. Of course, they went far beyond the rewards they could give and came to the exchange to sell the remaining stock. Jae-young readily epted his offer, as it was not bad to listen to the story, although he had doubts about the slightly heterogeneous situation. I see. Heh heh heh. Come with me. As we entered the lord castle located in the center of the fortress, Tan shouted as if he had suddenly remembered. ah! right! This is where it was! Tan shouted as they shed their hands. Since Tan was not recognized by others, only Jaeyoung looked at him with strange eyes, but Tan muttered with a mischievous look in his eyes. There is such a thing. It was something meaningful, but Jae-young, who couldn''t ask what it was because of the situation, was soon able to face Baron Mikhail while sitting in the magnificently decorated garden in the castle. I will. It is a tea made from herbs collected from Mount Pagon. A tea that smells fragrant. Looking at Jaeyoung, who lifted his ss and took a sip, Baron Mikhail gave a friendly smile. Its a nice car. Then it''s one of our territory''s specialties. Baron Mikhail had a short, fruitless conversation. He asked Jaeyoung with a coy look. Looking at you earlier, it looks like you were trying to sell a lot of minerals. Did you collect all of them yourself? yes. Huh... that''s great. It would take even a skilled miner ten days to dig that much. How long is that amount of cans? About two days? Huh... is that possible? For two days, Baron Mikhail was speechless at the word can''. His eyes were full of doubt. A look that you will never believe. But Jaeyoung calmly told him. At first, I was slow too, but as I got better at it, the amount I could collect increased and I got faster and faster. I see... Then can other adventurers mine minerals like you? Baron Mikhail''s question. Jaeyoung thought about the question for a while, then nodded. sure. Even if it''s not as much as me, maybe it''s possible? Baron Mikhail asked Jaeyoung with his eyes shining at those words. Then how do you think we can get them to dig for minerals? yes? random question. At that question, Jaeyoung looked at him with a puzzled look. But Baron Mikhail was more serious than ever. I dont know about you, but the situation in the territory is not right now as adventurers are gathering. It means that the borately run economy of the territory is shaking. Jaeyoung, who roughly understood the situation of Yeongji from the barons story, nodded. So... as beginners or adventurers gathered, iron became scarce, and that''s why the existing artisans can''t make things properly? Thats right. This estate needs many people like you. Not clumsy novices who make garbage, but workers who will sweat and produce iron, the root of our territory! Baron Mikhail got excited when he remembered the unlikely adventurers who opened stalls in the square and sold goods. Unlike him, his eyes were full of good feelings as he looked at Jae-young, who seemed to be full of sincerity. Can you help me? At that question, a quest appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [Do you ept the quest The Lord''s Concerns''?] [The Quest Lord''s Concerns] The territory has problems with iron ore supply. Increase the amount of mining in the mine by increasing the number of miners. [Solution Conditions] -Achieve 100000 iron ore mining per day (32140/100000). A sudden quest. However, Jaeyoung frowned upon confirming the contents. It''s ambiguous.....'' A quest to increase the amount of mining by as much as three times. However, since the method was not specifically decided, it was a difficult type of quest that was almost impossible for ordinary users to clear. How is that possible? Baron Mikhail looked at Jaeyoung, who was deep in thought, with a troubled expression. He asked with expectant eyes, but Tan suddenly whispered next to him. ept the offer for now. ...? Tan suddenly urges you to ept the offer. He had been quiet all this time, and suddenly, at Tan''s whisper to ept the offer, Jaeyoung looked at him with an expression as if he was thinking something. Then Tan said meaningfully. It was so long ago that I cant remember much... Maybe we can take this opportunity to fuck those damn chicken wings? Tan giggling and pping his wings as if he could just imagine it. I didn''t understand what he was talking about, but Jae-young looked at Baron Mikhail with a serious face and asked, leaving behind him who was shouting at him to ept the offer quickly. If you ept this offer, how far can you leave it? What does that mean? Baron Mikhail did not understand Jaeyoung''s words properly. However, Jaeyoung hit him right in the middle. I can make Yeongji''s economic situation work properly. But in order to do that, it is entirely up to you to follow me. Well... that''s it, even if you don''t say it, of course..... And give me 10% of the additional profits. what....? At Jaeyoung''s suggestion, Baron Mikhail looked at him with an absurd face. Hey... you must have looked at me too lightly. I will ept such an absurd offer... I don''t know the exact tax revenue of this territory, but it doesn''t look very good. Most of them are mountainous and the environment is barren, so food production is difficult and most of them have to rely on imports. At Jaeyoung''s words, Baron Mikhail shut his mouth. It was a rough guess, but it was because it was urate that a lot of the territory''s ie was actually being consumed to buy food. The necessary expenses are unavoidable. Well, whether the guild beats the price or overcharges, that''s not a problem we can solve. However, if we maximize the ie that can be extracted from the mines in the territory, wouldnt it be a bit of a breather? Maximizing the ie of the mine? Baron Mikhail muttered, How?'' Jaeyoung gave him a wicked smile and held out his hand. I will tell you one by one from now on. In this way, Baron Mikhail, who was taught through Jae-young, gained great fame afterwards. Where there is ie, there are taxes.'' Find the end of the tax and shake it off.'' The best tax is to extract without people noticing.'' As an evil lord of rare times who taxed everything except breathing. Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Mines Need ves (3) Arcadia''s economic structure is iparably sophisticated and meticulouspared to other games. production and consumption. supply and demand. cirction. The resources and special products produced in each region are different, and the required products are alsoplexly intertwined to the point where it is safe to say that they are no different from the real economic structure that changes rapidly depending on the situation and time. We need a lot of wheat in our upper ranks. If you bring me some wheat, I will give it to you at a high price. Oh oh! Isn''t that the bomb beetle shell, a specialty of Merun Vige? How much do you have? It''s a misceneous item... It must be hard to get the price right here, right? A vast world where you can make huge profits depending on the rapidly fluctuating market prices. Of course, in certain areas, it was possible to purchase necessary items regardless of inventory by receiving the correction of the game system, but in most cases, if there was no inventory, it was impossible to buy even if you wanted to. Oh really! Its really hard to get iron ore! Is it because there are a lot of people who have changed jobs as cksmiths? It seems to be getting harder and harder. Did you change your job to a cksmith for no reason? The price of iron ore isnt the same these days, is it? The price of iron ore, which started to rise due to chronic iron ore inventory shortages, has now risen to 17 bronze. Now, even if you smelt iron ore purchased from the exchange and make it into a weapon, you are barely making money or making a loss. As a result,ints from users began to creep in. No matter how realistic the game is, isnt this too much? that''s right! What do you mean you have to y the game only when the amount of items updated every day is this small? If I had known it would be like this, I would have just been a warrior. Ehh..... cksmith usersmented. However, no matter how much theyined, non-production users could not understand their joys and sorrows. Cant we just mine the iron ore ourselves? A territory famous for producing a lot of iron ore. There are already many NPCs working as miners in the vige, so I thought it wouldn''t be bad to go digging myself, but everyone just snorted. mining? Have you ever tried that yourself? Its a distance that takes more than two hours just to get there. And what about the mining difficulty? Id rather leave it to someone else and improve my skill proficiency while repairing my equipment! Arcadia in the early days of opening. There weren''t many people who chose the production line like cksmith yet, and the level ofpetitors was also simr. Because the profit to be gained by raising the production skill faster than anyone else and moving ahead was much greater, everyone was digging into the vige without going directly to mine iron ore. By increasing skill proficiency through asional free repairs. * * * [Iron ore has been acquired.] [Mining skill has risen to A rank.] [Mining speed and mining sess rate have increased. Rare minerals can be found with a low probability.] [Hidden minerals can be detected.] [HP increases by 10.] Whoa..... mine. Inside, Jaeyoung put on a pleasant smile when he heard that his mining skill had risen to A rank, and he wrapped up his work so far. -1024 iron ore. -119 Silver Ore. -33 gold ore. - 5 raw magic stones. ...-1 rough diamond. Starting with iron ore, various rare minerals and gemstones piled up tightly. Satisfied with the fact that the inventory was filled with an enormous amount that would probably make cksmiths drool when they saw it, when Jae-young finally put the pickaxe in, the bullets fluttered and flew from somewhere. uh? Are you finally done? Tan, who said he had something to look for, disappeared somewhere in the mine. Seeing him who hadn''t been seen for a while, Jaeyoung asked curiously. Some extent. Rather, what the hell have you been looking for all this time? Its nothing. What''s not a big deal? That''s... I''ll tell youter when I find it. Tan who saves words. Seeing him smiling at something wicked, a feeling of uneasiness welled up in my heart, but I didn''t ask any more in an atmosphere that didn''t seem to tell me much. no. Anyway, I''m going to take a break now, so don''t get into any strange idents and stay calm. At the words that he would close the connection, Tan nodded his head nonchntly. Yeah, I can''t move much anyway because of the restrictions while you''re gone, the contractor. Jaeyoung, who looked at Tan with a slightly unreliable look, left the game. And immediately turned on the Inte and connected to Arpendia. -special! The lost vige of beginners. What is the future for new users? -New hunting ground, Slime''s Sanctuary. blitz dissection. -Ranked No. 1 Abel. Level 43 achieved! They say that videos are so hot these days.... It looks like theyre real. A world where Inte broadcasting, including streaming, is the mainstream. It was quite popr in the past, but after a system was built to transfer Arcadia ys directly to aputer as video, everything started toe up as video rather than text and images. I connected Jaeyoungdo''s capsule andputer while watching Arfandia''s main video, which includes everything from basic strategies to useful information and guides to daily content. Then should I also upload it as a video? Arcadia''s officialmunity, Arfandia. Jaeyoung, who had joined there and opened a personal channel, thought for a while and wrote something down. [Daily life of a Destroyer.] Jaeyoung, who created a channel with a title that made me cringe just hearing the name, quickly changed all settings rted to personal information to anonymous and private, and then started editing a video. Normal y of simple mining. However, with Jaeyoung''s hands moving busily with an evil smile, the image was transformed into apletely different meaning. * * * Hey! Brother! Can you ess Arcadia today? a middle school ssroom. Even during break time, which was busy talking loudly, all the ssmates were busy talking about Arcadia. And Myung-han, who enjoyed ying with Hyung-tak, was the same. However, his friend, Hyung-tak, said in a sullen voice. Im not going to do that anymore. Eh? why? Hyung-tak, who had been more excited than he had been before, and approached him passionately to y the game. However, it was a surprise to Myung-han when he said that he would now close Arcadia. Then Hyung-tak said with a face that he was angry just thinking about it. No, something is wrong with that game! When I was a beginner, as soon as I started ying, I was killed by some kind of strange killer! When I logged in the next day, the slimes got really strong! And then the town itself disappeared! Do you know how many times I died because of it? Among the many users who suffered damage due to the slime incident, Hyung-tak suffered a pitiful amount of damage. That''s why Myung-han understood that he was going through a sage time for the game, so he talked brightly. But fortunately, you made it to Mikhails estate well! From there, just settle down like you did in the Beginner''s Vige! what are you there I even changed jobs as a merchant! A nonbat ss not found in beginner viges. Hyung-tak, who had moved to another vige without being able to change his job, was fortunate enough to be a merchant. Then what do you do? I didn''t know anything, and I only received strange skills? Hunting is hard now! The level has risen a little, but there is no skill rted tobat, and the gap with the friend who started together is gradually widening as he gradually encounters the limit of his growth ability. Because of that, Hyung-tak hated Arcadia more and more. However, Myung-han found something on his smartphone and presented it to Hyung-tak. Look at this! What is this? What you can do other than hunting. Video shown by Myeonghan. Hyung-tak, who started watching the video without thinking about it, began to focus on the video little by little, and at the end he shouted with his eyes wide open. This is...! A video that many people have already watched. The title of the video of this topic, wherements are also being uploaded in real time, was really stimting. [You can do it too! Make money with Arcadia!] * * * Arcadia''s basic currency is divided into three types. bronze silver gold. Each currency has a unit difference of 100 times and is used throughout the Arcadia continent, ensuring stable value anywhere. In addition, given that it had an borate and detailed economic structure that was no different from reality, some even said that it should be recognized as an official currency. [The world is changing now! Virtual economic activities are already no different from reality to be seen as fiction in the digital world! Economic value within Arcadia must be recognized as real value!] [I didn''t know that the emergence of virtual currency would happen in this way... but there is already a movement to exchange Arcadia''s currency for real goods. It is better to preemptively recognize it as a currency and manage its value stably. Also.....] Unlike existing game goods or items, a virtual world with infinite uses ording to its value. That''s why there was a lot of talk about recognizing the currency value of Arcadia''s gold'', but there were many opposing opinions. [Do you think that makes sense? Are you giving value to something that doesn''t exist, which is just a piece of data? If that''s the case, how are you going to deal with the chaos that will happen if gamepanies create the currency indefinitely?] [ I don''t know in the distant future, but right now it''s impossible. Well, the emergence of virtual reality technology is new and fresh, but there are too many things that arecking to have the status of a traditional currency. Is there no one who can preserve its value? Well, there will be talk of acknowledging the countries in the game. Heh heh heh!] It''s not money, it''s data!'' Who would pay for it?'' Are you crazy?''. Contrary to the stories of politicians and economists who can be roughly reduced to three things, people''s demand to purchase Arcadia''s currency was increasing. - I buy gold. wee in bulk. purchase in full. -Speedy Gold sales Contact & Message -Buy all the gold you have. This month''s sry is all messed up. The number of buyers is increasing, but the number of sellers is very small. Even if the state-level researchers and technical staff were hung up on, there was no way for the workshop or auto program to work. A game where only users who actually enjoy ying exist. That''s why there couldn''t be many merchants selling and supplying gold. Wow... what is the price of gold? 100,000 won for 1 gold? If you do well with this, you''ll get a good job, right? I know? Does this smell like money? The price of gold, which is gradually increasing in face value. And when the people who smelled it started to turn their eyes to virtual reality one by one. A video started to be popr. [That''s why. It''s a mine in Pagon Mountain. Iron ore is mined here. When the mining skill is F-rank, it mines about 20 per hour, but as the rank goes up, it gets pretty fast.] The mine resonated with the clear sound of a pickaxe. In the video, an unknown person wielding a pickaxe was digging for iron ore. Then he continued to exin. [My mining skill is A rank right now, and I can dig about 50 iron ores in an hour. Rare minerals that asionally appear there. In my case, things like magic stones and diamonds came out.] After mining, return to the vige and continue the conversation with the exchange merchant. In the video, each person smelled a strong smell of money. [Ohhh! So many iron ores! How much do you n to sell for?] [Hmm.... They''re still in short supply these days, right?] [Kuhm.... It''s a bitcking, but I''m still posting more than now...] [ Are you going to buy 18 bronze each?] [That''s a bit! Hasn''t the price already risen to 17 bronze because of you!] [Really? Then we''ll go and sell them elsewhere.] [That''s that! Got it! I''ll buy it! Instead, I will sell all other minerals besides iron ore!] The main character of the video said afterpleting a transaction with a merchant who was restless from negotiating the price and was trying to buy iron ore. [The money earned from mining iron ore for a day... is 1 gold and 82 silver.] 1 gold and 82 silver. Having earned 182,000 won at the current market price, he said in a funny voice. [How is it? It''s so easy to make money, isn''t it?] Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Mines Need ves (4) After Jaeyoung''s video was uploaded. A new wind of change began to blow in Baron Mikhail''s estate. ironstone! ironstone! Dont you have a pickaxe? Does anyone know how to get to Mt. Pagon Mine? yers with pickaxes in their hands started running towards Pagon Mountain, shouting iron ore. what? Why are there so many miners all of a sudden? The cksmiths who were sitting calmly in the vige. They tilted their heads as they suddenly saw people with pickaxes appearing one after another. You dont know that, uncle? Iron ore is money. yes? Iron ore? Oh, look for the videoter. I''m busy. A user who looks like a wizard just by looking at the equipment he is wearing. However, it was really strange to see him running with a pickaxe in his hand and shouting for iron ore. However, seeing people in various outfits other than the wizard user running away holding pickaxes, they closed the game one by one and connected to Arpendia. It wasn''t difficult to find Jaeyoung''s video, which became a popr video. And it didn''t take long for them to see the video and immediately grab a pickaxe and shout for iron ore and run to Pagon Mountain. * * * Hahahahahahaha! Baron Mikhailughing heartily. The person drinking tea in front of him is none other than Jaeyoung. The baron looked at Jaeyoung and asked. What the hell did you do? Those heavy-ass adventurers running to the mine like crazy? Not just idiots who only pretend to be cksmiths, but also adventurers of other professions. Users rushed like crazy because they were anxious to mine iron ore overnight. Baron Mikhail, who received a report from the mine manager on the unbelievable amount of daily mining, couldn''t stopughing no matter how hard he tried. That is easy. It can be done by stimting the primal desires of humans. A primal desire? At the baron''s question, Jaeyoung made a circle with his fingers and said. Money, what. If it''s not mining, but it''s something that can make money, there must be a lot of people who will do anything, even if it''s not this? We are all dogs and pigs of capitalism. His face did not understand the meaning of thest words, but he liked the direction they were going, so Baron Mikhail said with a big smile. Ha ha ha ha! I don''t know what you mean, but now I know the way I''ve been doing it''s wrong! Baron Mikhail, who valued cksmiths and artisans. For them, the baron had been directly operating the huge mine in Mount Pagon. Hiring miners, paying wages to them, and putting all the energy and effort into providing a stable supply of iron ore for the manor, but the results were not good. Why do you do the hard, dangerous and exhausting work of a miner? Thats right, the wages arent that high either. Whether you dig a lot or a little, the sry is the same anyway, right? Lets do it roughly. The ie was not good, and the same wages were received regardless of the amount of digging, so the mines in Mount Pagon had not been very profitable until now. From now on, give the miners a minimum wage and let them take as much as they dig. Otherwise, there will only be more idlers pretending to work. That word touches my heart. Azy man who pretends to work... Unlike Baron Mikhail, who is not good at economics, Jaeyoung''s advice, whichbines thetest economic ideas of modern times, was like a huge culture shock and innovation to him. I began to listen to his story with such enthusiasm that I asked the attendant next to me to write it down. Then what about iron ore prices? As you said, since the price is not controlled and left alone, it is rising so fast that it cannot bepared to before. Isnt this a problem? Not long ago, the price of iron ore exploded from 10 bronze to 15 bronze. It was also the result of Baron Mikhail using his hands knowingly and unknowingly to suppress the price increase. However, due to Jaeyoung''s operation, the iron ore that had risen to 18 bronze soon rose to 20 bronze. It seemed that the existing cksmiths were protesting at the price that had doubled in an instant, but Jaeyoung was calm. Ignore it. Ignore? yes. Even if you buy iron ore at that price anyway, isn''t it a situation where you can absolutely lose money on the works made by skilled cksmiths... no, important Master level cksmiths? Is that so...? Even for the same raw material, there is a world of fiercepetition where different prices are given depending on how and by whom it is refined. It was also true that there was not much to say about the workshops of artisans, where Baron Mikhail had to pay the most attention anyway. Because it was the ambiguous workshops that reacted most sensitively to this price increase. Anyone who buys will buy it even if the price goes up. Rather, it''s not enough to appreciate that I bought it at a much cheaper price than the original price. And if this price increase is so dissatisfying... If it is dissatisfied? Baron Mikhail looks at him with curious eyes. Jaeyoung, who felt burdened because his face was so close, cleared his throat and said. Tell them to dig it up and write it. A thirsty person digs a well, right? Ha ha ha ha ha! That''s good. No, that''s what it is. Baron Mikhailughed heartily as if he was having fun. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung held out a piece of paper to Baron Mikhail. hmm? What is this? It''s a contract. contract? Baron Mikhail stares nkly at Jaeyoung with eyes asking what kind of contract it is. However, after hearing the contents from Jaeyoung, he felt a sense of awe beyond greatness and asked him seriously. Hey... dont you want to just work under me instead of doing this? I will treat you so as not to upset you. I will leave the treasurer position vacant. That''s a bit... Baron Mikhail''s proposal, his eyes shining as if he had met a coveted talent. He rejected it roundly, but even after that, Jaeyoung had to suffer for a long time from Baron Mikhail. * * * Kaang Kaang! Unlike before, many users flocked to the mines of Mount Pagon. The ce was full of people singing strange work songs and enthusiastically wielding pickaxes. Oh yea! Silver ore obtained! Ohhhh! Congrattions! Hey, why doesnt iron oree out like this? It has to be well positioned. It doesnt seem toe out well when people dig a lot. People who are working on mining all over the ce. Passing between them, Jaeyoung was going deep into the mine. Master, what the hell is that contract about? Tan was watching the conversation with the lord. I asked as if I still did not understand the contents of the contract. Instead of paying the mine usage fee, it says that you have to mine and sell a certain amount of iron ore. What do you not understand? Then why is it beneficial? Isnt it rather profitable to pay the mine usage fee? Tan didn''t understand why it was profitable to just mine and sell a certain amount of iron ore instead of paying the usage fee, but Jae-young said with an evil smile. Mining... it''s not that easy. what? A normal game... No, contrary to what I thought, to mine, you have to choose a spot where a lot of iron ore is buried, and you have to hit the grain urately to get the ore. It also consumes a lot of stamina. If I''m unlucky, can I get 10 pickaxes even if I swing the pickaxe for an hour? It''s understandable why cksmiths don''t go mining. Although it is corrected to some extent when the skill rank increases, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the efficiency that Jaeyoung showed in the video. I didnt know about the pickaxe you gave me at first, but now I know why it is a unique item. Did you like it? From magic stones to precious minerals such as gold and silver, you can get them with mining skills, but the odds are really bad. However, thanks to the Devil Destroyer'' received from Tan, various minerals popped out with a fairly high probability. And I was able to make a deceptive video that makes people who don''t know about it roll their eyes. Wait...then how much money can a normal adventurer earn...? Um... when I experimented with a normal pickaxe... The result of rolling my head thinking about the amount obtained after digging for an hour. Forty silver? A difference of 4 times the efficiency. It might have been because everyone had a low skill rank, but it was a fact that would inevitably be revealed as time passed. That means mining isn''t such a good way to make money. Wait a minute, then the contract cant be... People who are dreaming of swollen gold to get a share through mining. Realizing that they were tricking and forcing them to voluntarily sign a document that was tantamount to a ve contract, Tan looked at him in amazement. why? No... I''ve heard that humans love ves, but it''s the first time I''ve seen them do it this way. Tan looks at her with strange eyes. To Tan, Jaeyoung taught him a modern theory. There is such a thing in the world. When youe in, do as you please, but not when you go out. Tan frowned at Jaeyoung''s words and thought deeply. But he said with a twinkle in his eyes as if he liked it. Wow, thats amazing! Is this kind of method fresh even among demons? Stimte human desires as much as possible, and through this, make them sign a contract to be ves voluntarily. Tan, who was contemting something and scribbled something in red letters on a gloomy piece of paper he had taken out from somewhere as if he was quite happy, soon said with pride. master! I didn''t see you like that, but I saw it again. Is there any other wicked method other than this? ..... It felt strange that something wickedness was recognized by the devil, but Jaeyoung tried to ignore it and changed the topic. Stop talking nonsense... Where the hell do you want to go? After talking with the baron, Tan insisted on going to the mine. Although he hade because he was so angry, he was starting to get annoyed by Tan''s actions, which kept going deeper without saying anything in detail. We are almost there. wait. The ce where the bullet stopped is the ce where the mine was blocked. There, Tan started to wander around, fiddling with the wall somewhere. What are you doing....? Tan suddenly stuck to the wall and started wandering around. Ignoring Jaeyoung who was staring at him in bewilderment, he closed his eyes as if he was seriously looking for something. At first I wondered why I was used to this ce, but aftering to a ce called this mine, I understood. Its a ce Ive been to before. You saw it? Tan tells an even more iprehensible story. However, as if he had found it, he patted a certain spot. Here, here! I found it! What are you looking for? Tan tells an unknown story. However, he looked at Jaeyoung with bright eyes and asked. Cant you dig here for me, owner? what? I know when I see it. Its probably not a business that will hurt you either, so pretend to be deceived and hurry up. At that, Jaeyoung looked at Tan with suspicious eyes, then sighed and took out a pickaxe and started swinging it. Caang Caang Caang- Jjaeng- A rock wall that breaks into chunks with the sound of a pickaxe. However, it was not long before something caught on the pickaxe with a sharp sound. What is this? After arranging the rock wall around the area where it was caught, what appeared in front of Jaeyoung was a huge iron gate. It is a door that shines softly as if it is not a simple iron door. Next to Jaeyoung, who was staring nkly at the door, Tan muttered to himself with an evil smile. Finally found. Are you watching, you damn chicken wings? Chapter 19 Chapter 19 So what''s the probability? huge iron gate. It seemed like a long time had passed, but seeing that it was not rusted and gave off a soft light, I could tell that this door was unusual. Especially when I see Tan who is making a fuss next to me as if he is going to die excitedly. Master, open the door quickly. No, what the hell is this? Won''t you speak straight? ah! Once you open the door, I''ll exin properly! Hurry up and open it! Up until now, I had been forcing myself to match the rhythm of Tan, but I couldn''t just blindly open a door that looked extremely suspicious at first nce. In addition, when I put my hand on the door, it bounced out with a tremendous reaction force. [There is a strong seal on the door. Unable to ess.] [Unsatisfied with the conditions required to break the seal! The seal cannot be lifted!] [Report to the lord about the hidden space in the mine to receive a special reward.] [Skill excavation has been created.] A door with a strong seal. Looking down at his trembling hands, Jaeyoung grumbled at Tan. You cant even open it because it has a strong seal on it. Of course there will be a seal. That''s why I brought you here. Tan replies with a look in his eyes as if no one knows. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said curtly. What the hell does that mean? I''m not some kind of seal releaser, so what to do with me... You... you really don''t know much about yourself? Tan continues to tell a story that ispletely iprehensible. However, Jaeyoung couldn''t open his mouth when he saw the little devil with a serious expression he had never seen before. He had a really sad look on his face. Ah-oh! Seriously, why would you give this kind of power to a human... If at least you be a fucking imp, I''ll somehow calm you down and raise you. If he was an imp, Tan, who had bitten his lips to the point of getting goosebumps, looked at him again with serious eyes and asked what he would do if he was an imp. How much do you know about the power you have? what. Are you talking about probabilities? okay. Whatever you call it, the power to directly intervene and artificially manipte and twist thews of the world. Do you know what you can do with it? Tan''s question. However, Jae-young, who had changed jobs in an unexpected way, shook his head at his question. no? Everything! As soon as Jaeyoung''s answer came out, Tan immediately shouted. He spoke quickly, as if excited. For a long time, Tan had been arguing about Jae-young''s stat, Probability. After listening to Tan''s exnation in silence, Jaeyoung began to organize what he understood. So... you''re saying that this probability I have is the power necessary for you and other transcendent beings to operate? then! It usually builds up little by little over a long period of time naturally, but the amount is extremely small? then. I don''t know how that''s possible, but the probability umted in you is abnormally high. The probability obtained from the transaction with you alone is enough to umte for 500 years! At Tan''s words, Jaeyoung could understand why Tan coveted the probability he had until now. And I was able to roughly draw in my head the concept of the game y method that the game developer pursues. Hmm... thats right... I get it for now, but why did you bring me here? After roughly acquiring the necessary information, Jaeyoung returned to the main topic and asked Tan. Then Tan pointed to the door and said. You can open that door. what? As I said before, there''s a seal... It''s a seal, and it must be the nonsensical conditions set by the chicken wings. But even if no one else knows, you dont care. Tan said, looking at the soft glow emanating from the iron gate with a frown on his face as if he felt ufortable just looking at it. The power to artificially twist and intervene while breaking all thews of this world and ignoring causality. do you already have that? All you need is just... Tan smirking. He whispered to Jaeyoung, his evil eyes twinkling. It''s just a will. * * * Korean branch of Arcadia. In order to deal with the unprecedented situation of the deletion of the beginner vige that recently urred, the employees, who had returned weekends and stayed up all night every day, were sitting at their desks almost dead. Huh uh uh uh... is it the end? The Quest Development Team, which had a bigger impact than any other department. Even the team leader muttered as if he was tired of everyone who had never taken a proper rest for even a minute and a second from making and putting adaptation quests to rece beginner viges in thousands of viges and estates across the continent. Chief... All updates have been applied. Approval for the application was rejected by the head office... The way the script and data of the quest are sent to the head office for review, approval, and application. That''s why, at the words of an employee who confirmed that the final confirmation from the headquarters had fallen, all the team members sighed and spat out one word at a time. Ugh... I really cant do this anymore. It''s something I don''t want to do or never do again. Considering the characteristics of each vige and territory, selecting an NPC to help, and designing and developing a quest that fits the probability. Dozens of team members worked hard on this task, but despite that, they suffered from so much work that they barely managed to finish it after working hard while sleeping for almost a week. Its already been a week since I couldnt go home. When was thest time I washed...? Chief, I cant get married like this. Its a torch to ask why my girlfriend is so busy. A situation where everyone talks a lot about this and that. Although it was still only 1:00 PM, the team leader sighed and rose from his seat in the atmosphere of intensely wanting to leave work. For now... wait. I will suggest to the manager to leave early ande. All the team members'' eyes lit up when the team leader, who was more anxious than anyone else, came forward to make a suggestion. and! really? Oh oh! After all, the chief! I love you, chief. Do you know my heart? When the faces of his teammates who had been dying until just now started toe alive, as if they hadn''t done that before, he smiled and said. Hey, I havent even gotten permission yet, but Im already waiting for you to stop drinking kimchi soup... Beep. Beep Beep - Before the team leader could finish his words, theputers throughout the office started beeping loudly. Everyone''s faces began to stiffen at the sound that began to ring out sharply, as if it were a disaster alert. The team leader, who checked the warning notice on the monitor with trembling hands, muttered involuntarily. What the fuck... A huge phrase was written on his monitor in bright red letters. [Contamination of myth-level quests.] [693 rted quests.] It seemed that the early work had passed. * * * Virtual reality Arcadia started its official service in less than half a year, but the history in that world is so long that thousands of years have been recorded. The Great War between good and evil. A unification war stemming from human greed. Tribal wars that began with the prosperity of each race and territorial disputes. Until thest invasion of the demon realm that tried to upy Arcadia. From the great and bold wars involving all races to unification wars ofrge and small humans and fights between kingdoms. If you look back on each detail, you will be in awe of who made it, a history that is realistic enough to feel. In addition, the continent of Arcadia, which is full of forgotten and erased secrets that have not been recorded, is full of hidden artifacts and ruins waiting for countless discoveries and excavation expeditions. will? You''re unaware, but with the amount of probabilities you have, you can just ignore these insignificant seals. It''s just that the owner doesn''t want to do that. What are you talking about? So what should I do...? Open it again, this time with the will to open it. He wondered what the difference was, but Jaeyoung took a deep breath and filled his head with thoughts of opening the door. Then he carefully put his hand back on the door. Uh- uh- Unlike before, I didn''t feel the reaction force, and I felt the touch of cold iron in my hand. And texts appeared before his eyes with a strange resonant sound. [The seal of the door reacts to the yer.] Do you want to break the seal?] [Required probability: 15000] I exchanged a unique ss pickaxe with a probability of 8000 from Tan, but a door that requires twice as much probability as his. In a situation where most of the remaining probability had to be exhausted, Jaeyoung hesitated for a moment, but gave strength to Tan''s eyes full of expectation and curiosity. Open..... Sesame ! With a strange resonant sound as if something was being broken, the iron door slowly began to slide. And the status messages that fill my eyes. [Probability is consumed.] [The seal has been released.] [I found an unknown celestial altar.] [A huge discovery! You have discovered an ancient ruin that has not been recorded in history.] [The title First Discoverer has been obtained.] [Intelligence increases by 15.] [Detailed investigation of the ruins is required.] Hahaha! How does it taste, you damn chicken wings! Didn''t you say I''de in someday? As soon as I opened the door, Tan rushed inside and jumped around excitedly. Jaeyoung, who was pping his little bat wings and punched upwards, looking at the person he liked as if he was pathetic, soon began to look at the ce of the visit. Can you tell me now? Where the hell is this ce? At that, Tan smiled and replied. Do you know what this mountain is called for us? What is it called? This ce is widely known as Pagon Mountain. However, Tan said with an evil smile as if that was not the case with demons in the underworld. A high heavenly stairway. We usually call it... a fucking hole in chicken wings. ...? It was a moment that seemed to require a lot of additional exnation. * * * While Jaeyoung and Tan were chatting in the game, Arcadia''s Korean branch convened all departments for another emergency meeting. Eh.... We will start an emergency meeting from now on. I know everyone must be very tired and having a hard time, but I ask for your understanding as the matter is a matter. The heads of numerous teams, including the quest development team, nning team, bnce team, and technical support team, gathered, but all of them were proud of dark circles and sitting with a big face. Once, exactly 32 minutes ago, a warning message about the contamination of a mythical quest would have been delivered to all departments. As a result of checking the rted issue, it was confirmed that the content was hidden in Pagon Mountain. I have attached the history of Arcadia on page 3 of the meeting materials, so please take note of this... While the nning department manager was directly presenting the rted agenda, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han read the historical background of Mt. asked Wait a minute... Pagon Mountain is the realm of angels? ording to the setting we confirmed, Mt. Pagon is the ce called the entrance to the high heavens in the past, and it is said that the first angel first descended to the continent of Arcadia. The very old past of Mount Pagon. Information that had not been recorded in human history, the management team also had information that they would not have known about if it had not been for this incident. Really.... It''s a game you wouldn''t know. Arent there too many detailed settings that we didnt even n? As if the quests developed and managed by thepany were just the tip of the iceberg, countless quests and settings that they didn''t know about popped up one after another, and even the executive director who rmended them was dumbfounded. so.... What is the name of this tainted mythical quest that we couldnt figure out? Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han''s question thrown without much thought. However, the development manager''s face was stained with bewilderment at the question. I have to confirm more, but now, after continuing all the quests rted to the contaminated quest, the final result is the quest... Exactly...? Managing Director Kwon Myung-han urged the manager to ask the manager who was hesitant to say thest word. This is the Second Holy Magic War. ..... His answer filled the meeting room with cold silence from everyone, including Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Developers are people too! person! (1) Pagonic acid. To humans, it''s just a high mountain rich in iron ore. But deep inside, in a hidden ce, there were a lot of artifacts that didn''t seem to have anything to do with the mine. [This is an iprehensiblenguage. Decoding failed.] [Those who study the ancientnguage may be able to interpret thisnguage.] [ A holy energy surrounds the body.] [ Health and mana recovery speed is greatly increased.] [A closer examination of the ruins is necessary. It is necessary.] [The quest Hidden Ruins'' has been created.] The hidden ce you came in because of Tan. It was clear that this ce, full of holy energy, would bring a lot of attention even if it was known to the world. The created quest also said to immediately run to the Holy Church of the Territory and report the discovery. hey! what are you doing, master? Shall we open this soon? However, Jaeyoung had no intention of carrying out the quest at all. Especially since I had heard Tan exin in detail what this ce was like, there was no need to do that. because? The value of this ce far exceeded the level that Baron Mikhail couldpensate for. Besides, considering what Jaeyoung would do from now on, this ce had to remain a ce no one knew. What Tan struggled to open was none other than the sarcophagus. A pure white sarcophagus made of pure marble. Jaeyoung and Tan struggled to push the sarcophagus on the altar. Turn it off Strength! master! Give me more power! Im giving it all! The sarcophagus that he is pushing with force until his face turns red. However, there was no way that a 100% pure stone would be pushed by one human and one imp(?). Ooooh! Even if I only had the main body, this is just dog shit! Tan screamed in regret and pped his wings. However, with its tiny body, the sarcophagus did not budge no matter how much it was pushed. Huh... I cant do this, can I? Jaeyoung, who ran out of stamina, sat down on the floor and said. Then Tan with a dejected expression muttered to himself. It''s nonsense.... How did I get into this ce, and I''m so engrossed in the weight of a stone rather than a divine barrier or seal... Tan sat down and was frustrated. Judging from the fact that she had been extremely happy to have entered this altar until now, she must have felt quite deprived. By the way, I have a question about Tan. what. Looking at Tan, who was sitting there without looking back, Jaeyoung asked the question he wanted to ask earlier. This Pagon Mountain... Didnt I say that this ce, to be precise, makes channeling with the heavens possible? channeling. The point where beings from other celestial realms descend directly to Arcadia and serve as a ry, for example, to help them exert their power. This Pagon Mountain was a ce that served as a link between the heavens and this ce. And that means... Then, by any chance, there is a ce that is responsible for channeling with the Demon World? flinch. Tan instantly responded to that question. The look in his eyes as if he had secretly left school and yed games in the PC room without his mother''s knowledge, and then got caught in his mother''s guiding newspaper. He looked at Jaejoong with those same eyes and asked. Why do you ask...? No, it just came to my mind, but if there is a ce like this in the heaven world, then the demon world should have something like this too. I wish there was such a ce. Is there really such a ce? A question I asked out of pure curiosity. But at that question, Tan''s eyes rolled. It seemed like he was contemting how to answer this. Ah, before thinking about such a strange thing, think about how to open this lid quickly? How long will you be here! It''s an annoying space to even breathe! After thinking about it for a while, Tan changes the topic and throws out his annoyance. It seemed quite burdensome to Tan, perhaps because it was a ce filled with divine energy. Judging from the smoke rising around her body from earlier, it seemed like it would spontaneously ignite in just a little while. Ah Okay. hang on. I can''t call someone else and how can I open this..... Thoughts shed through my mind for a moment. However, the method was quite vicious, so Jae-young asked Tan, even though the conscience in his heart was screaming, That''s a bad thing!'' Hey Tan. There''s something really important in here, right? Oh, yes! At Tan''s confirmation, Jaeyoung nodded, suppressed the faintly blooming conscience in her heart, and rose from her seat. okay. Then there is nothing you can do. what? At Tan''s question, Jaeyoung took out an item from her inventory. [You have equipped the Demon Cave Destroyer.] A familiar heavy feeling. In Jaeyoung''s hands, a sturdy and powerful pickaxe, a masterpiece from the demon realm that would never break, was shining with its pointed de shining. You... can''t you...? When Jaeyoung took out the pickaxe, Tan''s eyes widened. As if he, the devil himself, hadn''t thought of it that far, his expression of surprise was evident, but Jaeyoung spoke to Tan as if it were natural. If there is a door that wont open, it wont open no matter how hard you try. In that case, the answer is... Quaang. A pickaxe that shed down with all its might. With the addition of the correction value of his mining skill, which had already reached A rank, his hand movements had reached full maturity. Then, his pickaxe began to pierce the lid of the sarcophagus and create a crack around it. Breaking is the answer. Kwaang Kwaang Kwaang- That''s how Jaeyoung''s pickaxing started. Looking at the shards of pure white marble falling from the pickaxe and the sarcophagus shattering miserably, Tan thought to himself. As expected, humans are worse than devils...'' A holy ce that angels regard as sacred. As he witnessed the scene of destruction beingmitted there, Tan seriously pondered who was more like the devil. * * * [A phenomenal achievement. The unknown ancient artifact has beenpletely destroyed.] [The celestial beings are astonished at the yer''s actions.] [ The friendship with the celestial world has declined to the worst level.] [It is rmended to be careful not to be noticed by the divine beings. .] [The title Artifact Destroyer has been obtained.] Patter. Jaeyoung''s mysterious pickaxe. It stopped only after the sarcophagus in front of me waspletely destroyed. Huh... After picking a pickaxe once, the whole body feels refreshed. Jaeyoung put down the pickaxe while wiping the sweat from his brow and asked Tan, who was looking at him with strange eyes. what? why? Uh... no nothing. At the nd reaction, Jaeyoung gave a questioning nce for a moment, then began to dig through the fragments of the sarcophagus and examine what was inside. What is this? Inside the sarcophagus was a body. After so long, only bones remained, but it was decorated with various expensive-looking items, probably because he was a fairly important person. why? Hey, if you have something like this, you should tell me in advance. Why would you break someone''s grave? I''m not being shameless. No matter how much I thought about the current situation, Tan was at fault for not telling me properly and saying that there was something important. No matter how much it''s a game, the act of breaking the coffin of someone who is sleeping peacefully is probably a barbaric act that even if you ask everyone, they''ll say, Wow. However, Tan looked at Jaeyoung with an absurd look. No, of course its a coffin, but isnt it natural that there is a body inside? ..... That''s why I thought you were such a bad guy. He did nothing wrong with other people I''ve seen. amazing. Tan raises his thumb and praises him for being great. Contemting whether he should like this or not, Jaeyoung sighed. Someone''s coffin that has already been shattered. Well, it wasn''t something that could be glued together piece by piece, so there was no need to try to pick up spilled water. Anyway...so what''s the important thing here? Oh that? The ne that skeleton has! An antique ne ced on the skull''s chest. Compared to the other faded relics, it was still emitting a soft light and full of sacredness, probably passing the flow of time. ...You want me to bring that? then? Can I touch something like that? Is it the pinnacle of divinity? Tan waved his hands as if he couldn''t even touch them. Jaeyoung looked at him for a moment, then sighed and pulled the ne on the skull''s chest. And when I pulled it lightly, I heard a strange bursting sound. It must have been hung around the neck when the corpse was buried. When Jaeyoung pulled the ne, the neckbone of the already weakened skeleton crumbled and the ne fell off. And the head of a skeleton rolling out of the sarcophagus. Tan and Jaeyoung stared nkly at it without saying anything. And after a moment of silence, Tan muttered. Wow .... Real dog ..... Tan covered his mouth with both hands at Jaeyoung''s fierce eyes. However, looking at Tan who was trying to say something with his eyes, Jaeyoung held his head in pain. For some reason, it was Jae-young who felt like he was getting more and more corrupted when he was with this devil. * * * Korea Branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. President Lee Mi-yeon frowned as she listened to Executive Director Myung-han Kwon''s report. Contaminated mythical quest hidden in Pagon Mountain... The contaminated quest is the Second Holy Demon War. There are rted quests... 693? That''s right. Whew... Strangely, whenever I hear a report from the executive director, it seems like there is only bad news. Isn''t it? It is a strange situation where problems arise from the beginning of the opening to the extent of being strange. Because of that, the eyes looking at the executive director Lee Mi-yeon, who was rmended by the president, could not be so kind. Why the hell did you hide an important mythical quest in a ce like that? At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han exined as if he was unfair. This is not a quest nned by us. Even before our branch was established, the head office had alreadypleted nning, development, and application, and it happened because they didn''t inform us in advance... So what do you want to say? ..... Although it is a quest that they did not prepare or n, it is one of the important contents of the second continent of Arcadia, which is in charge of the Korean branch. No matter what excuses he made, he couldn''t justify the responsibility for not properly managing a mythical quest, so CEO Lee Mi-yeon kept his mouth shut. Haa.... Other countries are ying without any problems, but only Korea keeps doing this..... CEO Lee Mi-yeon murmurs with a sigh of frustration. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han, who had noticed her, carefully brought up the story. I... boss Arcadia is a perfect and bug-free system, but... I don''t understand the circumstances of this case at all. What do you mean? That''s... There are only 89 quests that precede the arrival of the now contaminated quest area, and the first quest clue starts from a ruin hidden in an area 600km away from Pagon Mountain. No matter how lucky you are, it is impossible to arrive at the area by solving all the quests normally. A situation where you suddenly entered an important quest location while ignoring the preceding quest. There were only two cases where this happened. There was an error or hole in the system, or the yer used an illegal method. Hmm... that sounds strange even to me, right? Yes? You should look into this. In response to President Lee Mi-yeon''s response, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han continued to persuade her with a happy face. He spoke passionately, saying that a thorough investigation into this case should be carried out and immediate sanctions should be taken if problems are discovered. But he didn''t know. That all of this is a problem that has arisen due to a thoroughly fair method. Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Developers are people too! person! (2) Arcadia''s officialmunity site, Arfandia. This week''s topical video that heated up this site with a lot of information and strategies was none other than Jaeyoung''s video. [You can do it too! Making money with Arcadia!] It''s so stimting that anyone will inadvertently click the mouse saying I can''t stand this.....''. In addition, the content itself was quite unconventional, so people''s opinions were rampant in thement section. -Mineering won''t be that efficient..... -Hey, didn''t I say it''s much better to buy and use rather than mine in the old strategy video? -?? That''s right. It is better to spend the time to raise the crafting skill rank while mining iron ore. Live experiences from people who have been mining before. Thanks to the strategy video of a user who was already gaining fame as a cksmith, public perception that mining was not good spread widely. However, after watching Jaeyoung''s video, a small wind of change arose in public opinion. - But maybe that''s possible? Iron ore prices have risen recently. almost doubled. -hit. It''s really hard to find iron ore these days. So I''m thinking of getting it myself. - Watch the video. Even if it''s not good in the beginning, it''s different after raising the skill rank to A! -and. 180,000 won a day? So how much is that in one month? -I know? Would that be better than running? -I told you to y a game, so you''re thinking of ying in the game. A situation where the smell of money wafts like bait. Not all of them, but quite a few people started tapping on the calctor, and as a result, they started walking towards the mine in Pagon Mountain with pickaxes in their hands. Since it was the beginning of the game where gold was not released much anyway, there were more people than expected who wanted to collect basic capital. I did the math, and ording to what I saw in the video, its 5.4 million won for just one month? No, will that be? If that''s true, I''ll get rid of all the office workers. Ah, trust me just once and follow me. Anyway, you just started, so you dont have any money. Two novice users, probably from watching the video, were trudging toward the mine carrying pickaxes one by one. However, two guards sent by Baron Mikhail stopped them at the entrance to the mine. stop! Stop! ...Why are you like that? Two people standing with dumbfounded expressions, not knowing why. The guard looked meticulously up and down the two of them and asked. It''s an unfamiliar face... Did youe here to mine ore? Yes, what about it? You have to pay a mine fee to mine ore here! Do you have your registration card? yes? Is there such a thing? A fact never heard of. When the startled two looked at each other in bewilderment, the guard gave them a face-off as if it were natural. It''s a mine in Baron Mikhail''s estate, and the lord himself developed it, so it makes sense to use it for free! Those who do not work, do not eat! Did you guys contribute anything to the development of this mine? That''s... If you don''t have it, of course you have to pay! The guard''s words were not wrong, so the two nodded in agreement. So how much is the mine fee? The usage fee is 30 gold per month. yes? 30 gold? Surprised, the two asked in a loud voice without realizing it. 30 gold per month. In other words, he had to pay a usage fee of 1 gold per day, and considering the current gold market price, it was 100,000 won. It''s paid in advance, and we charge admission on a monthly basis. No, thats kind of... Ah, I just told you not to do it because of this! 60 gold was too expensive for two beginners to bet. However, since they had already bought a pickaxe with the money they had in hand, the two were in a situation where they couldn''t do anything. Why but? But what if you dont have the money to pay the usage fee? Ah... yes... were here to make money too, so a lot of money... The novice user frowned at the guards question as if he had noticed it. Then the guard nodded as if he knew. yes. It''s all about pocket money. Just by looking at their appearance, it looks like they are in trouble... Or how about waiving the usage fee? yes? Is there such a thing? An entrance fee of 30 gold. When the two people, who were wide-eyed at the story that the price was waived, asked, the guard pointed to a booth-like ce on the other side. Go over there and ask for advice. He will tell you about it over there. A ce a little far from where the guards are standing. There, withfortable chairs and drinks, a pretty woman was waving to the two of them with a seductive smile. Wow... Her beauty is so beautiful that you can''t help but admire it just by looking at it. Fascinated by her beauty, the two moved toward the booth without realizing it. Without knowing that they are entering a deep swamp from which they will nevere out. * * * [Daily mining amount reached 100000.] [You have solved the quest The lord''s troubles''.] [Go to the lord and receive the quest-rted reward.] Huh? You''ve broken the quest. Jaeyoung mumbled at the sudden rm sound, and Tan nced at him as if he was a weirdo and said, what? No, nothing. Inside Pagon Mountain. Jae-young, who wasmitting destruction with Tan in the depths, was able to acquire a mysterious ne in the end in a cruel process that was difficult to open his eyes. [You have acquired the Glorious Celestial Medal''.] [Sacred energy reacts to the yer.] Uuuuu- The ne you are holding in your hand suddenly resonates and emits tremendous energy. Queueek! what! clear and divine aura. As the energy spreads around, Tan screams and emits smoke from his body as if he were a vampire who saw sunlight. And that divine energy was fiercely absorbed into Jaeyoung''s body. No, it was absorbed. [warning. The yer''s job is not a holy ss.] [Fatal contradiction urred.] [Emergency action. The item is temporarily disabled.] [Please contact the customer center for rted matters.] What is it...? Suddenly what! I almost lost my mind! The divine aura that filled the inside was captured again in the ne and returned to its original state as if it had never been. Leaving behind Tan, who copsed on the floor panting as if he had been quite hit, Jaeyoung checked the ne in his inventory. However, unlike other items, this was written on the ne disyed in gray color. [Glorious Celestial Medal] - The item has been temporarily disabled due to a fatal error. - Please understand that we will check the matter with the highest priority and take action. Just looking at it, it looks like something is messed up. It seems that I never expected that even the gamepany would acquire items in this way. Thinking that he might be thinking about what to do after checking this situation, Jaeyoung stood up. master....? What are you doing....? Tan, who was panting as if he was recovering from the blow he suffered earlier, looked at Jaeyoung, who was fixing the unique pickaxe in his hand again, and asked with strange eyes. What are you doing? Of course you have to do what you have to do. matter of course? You dont know what we did here right now? Beyond simple robbery of ruins, it was not enough topletely destroy the sarcophagus of an unknown important figure, to steal the remains of the corpse and even damage the corpse. It is a situation where hemitted countless crimes that would not be enough even if he was treated as human garbage. Maybe if we find out what we did here, you wont know, but my life will be pretty twisted. Well... well, even from my point of view, it''s a bit like that. Tan speaks in a way that makes you feel something like even though I''m a devil, I don''t think I''m as trashy as you...''. In response to Tan''s reaction, Jaeyoung spoke in a firm tone. That''s why the existence of this ce must remain a secret, as it was before. So... So...? Kwajik. With a dull sound, the pickaxe smashed one side of the wall with ancient words written on it. As if it never existed. The archeological heritage, which may have astronomical value, was shattered and shattered with a single gesture of his hand. We have to destroy the evidence. Kwajik Kwajik Woodduck Puck- Unlike before, the swing was unstoppable in the hand. Looking at the altar disappearing without a trace at that swing, Tan put on an indescribable expression. Wow... Thinking that he had met the most devilish human he had ever met, Tan took out a gloomy piece of paper from somewhere and started writing something down. There really is a lot to learn from humans... It was Satan who had learned a thing today as to what true evil deeds should be taught to the budding demons when they go backter. * * * Virtual Reality Arcadia. There were many suspicions about who created this ridiculous virtual reality, but surprisingly, it was only one person who made this world. jack. Paralyzed from a congenital brain defect, he was able tomunicate with the world thanks to arge-scale project called Phenopsis Dream by Silico, the world''srgest biopany. And a world he gave her as a gift with a heartfelt confession to his lover and the head of Silicorp, Zenica. [This world I created... started with your story. To me, who can''t see, feel, or taste anything on my own... Your story was the beginning and end of my world.] [I want to be with you in this world sometime, Jenika.] That world was Arcadia. Since then, Jack, the creator of Arcadia, has always enjoyed watching the stories that each person creates in this huge world created by his imagination. [Manager.] Huh? Alice? What''s going on? Alice, an artificial intelligence that implements the game system by assisting herself. It was unusual for her, who manages and assists users who ess her world, to talk to her, so Jack reacted unexpectedly. [A fatal contradiction has urred and an issue requiring adjustment has urred.] Fatal contradiction? Detailed data unfolds before Jack''s eyes. As he looked through the data carefully, he grinned and muttered as if he was having fun. Hmm.... Did that guy''s settings and mine ovep? Bard of Anarchy. A job that was nned and created by the guy who always cursed at Zenica as a damn bitch. As if he was ying crazy as nned, he was already touching one of Arcadia''s main streams, which Jack had prepared himself. It would be difficult if the former item of the hidden ss Holy Prophet'' falls into his hands... It''s a distant future, but the 2nd Holy Magic War will happen someday. In that war, the job that would be the main character of the holy faction was blown away. Under normal circumstances, I would have just erased the previous job... In the first ce, if the preceding quest was not held by a divine-type job holder, it could not be received, and even if it wasnt, he would have just deleted the previous job and processed the forced job change, but he couldnt even touch himself. It was a difficult situation for Jack as he was the only holder of the job. [What should I do?] Hmm... Alice solves most of the problems on her own. It may have been brought here because it was such a difficult matter, but it was something Jack needed to think about for a while. But as if something good came to mind, Jack smiled and muttered. For now, lets put the job change itself on hold and change the item characteristics. [Ability?] As Jack waved his hand, a window appeared that showed the item''s stats, and the contents quickly began to change. I''m going to need some bnce. Jae-young''s y, which is gradually degrading while working with Satan. Jack seemed to desperately need someone to put the brakes on him. Chapter 22 Chapter 22 My College Motivation is Real Jae-Young''s first semester begins. Like any other college student, Jae-young, who entered school with excitement as a newbie, was waiting for the professor while talking with Jae-gyun. I know that? You can even make money with Arcadia! 1 gold now costs about 100,000 won! okay? uh! Of course, earning gold is not that easy. It''s because they don''t give you that much money even if youplete the quest... Since it was in the early stages of opening, the yers'' abilities were low. Jaekyun muttered with a slightly regretful expression that he couldn''t earn gold that easily. Then he said again with a bright face. ah! But they say mining can make money these days! The daily ie is about 1 gold and 80 silver, but in cash it''s about 180,000 won! Isn''t that great? At Jaekyun''s words, Jaeyoung was stunned, but he tried his best to put on a good performance and spoke as if he was amazed. Oh... can you make that much? It''s really amazing... Yes! So I''m going to go mining once. It''s a bit of a distance, but it''s worth it. ..... Jaekyun''s words made Jaeyoung a little embarrassed. I said that I don''t y games, but I still can''t stand it when my first friend in college is saying that he''s going to visit me to sign a ve contract on his own feet. So Jaeyoung tried to stop him. But that''s so strange...? huh? what? lets think. If the ie you can earn per day is 180,000 won, it is 5.4 million won if you work a full month. Thats almost double the ie of an ordinary office worker. Almost the amount of money that can be taken in the bankbook if you are a manager or manager of argepany. It was too abnormal to see it as an ie that could be generated just by ying a pickaxe in a game. That''s... And let''s pretend that''s true. But at that level, any real dog or cow woulde running, so can this situationst for a long time? ..... If you are not a person who is paralyzed by money, you can think of it even if you think about it a little calmly. At Jaeyoung''smon sense question, a small doubt began to bloom in Jaekyun''s heart. Yeah.... Hearing you say something is strange... Jaekyun started thinking about something with a frown on his face as if he had grown a little grumpy. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said with a tone that he was not interested. Well... you do what you want, but watch a little more. Wouldnt it be better to first check if the information is true and then go to it rather than walking in vain? At Jaeyoung''s sincere advice, Jaekyun pondered for a moment, then nodded. Yes, I will. If it''s a bubble anyway, it''ll be gone soon, but it''d be better to hunt and raise the level during that time. Jaeyoung sighed as he saw Jaekyun give up right away. Ugh... Today I saved one person''s soul.'' Jaeyoung, who knew better than anyone else that he would fall into a ve who sold his soul the moment he signed the contract with Baron Mikhail, felt strangely proud. Still, isn''t it pleasant to watch one of your acquaintances fall into the swamp of your own creation? I don''t know if the party is Cheolcheon Jiwon. ah! The professor is here. While talking with Jaekyun, Professor Kim Taehoon entered the ssroom. Upon his appearance, the ssroom quickly became quiet, and Professor Kim Tae-hun started talking with a cheerful face. Nice to meet you, everyone. I sincerely congratte everyone who entered Seomin University. The first ss I started after bing a college student. At the words of the professor congratting the meaningful moment, a strange feeling of pride appeared on everyone''s faces. Seomin University is not such a good school, but isn''t it a ce where everyone works hard and enters on time or on time? However, Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s words after that terribly turned their pride into powder. But since you''ve been admitted here, your future is bleak. ...? ...? ...?! The faces of the students stained with absurdity. Professor Kim Tae-hoon, who looked around at the students'' expressions as if they were saying with their faces, What the hell is that bullshit?'', said in a determined voice. What do you intend to learn and gain from me in this ss called Computer Architecture'' that you will listen to me this time? Please answer the boy in front of you. Is that me? A question thates in without even blinking. While the male student, startled by the question, was sweating profusely, Professor Kim Tae-hoon shouted in frustration. As I said before toputer science students, the world has be a world where you can''t help but fall behind if you staycent! In other words, this is not an era where someone can give you the necessary knowledge and develop your individual abilities if you sit still. virtual reality. Professor Kim Tae-hoon, who had previously given a speech toputer science students. The same was true of other professors, but he reacted more sensitively to changes in the world than any other professor. Why are you still ignorant of reality! If you just sit here and listen without thinking about anything, then graduate with a rough grade, that''s just going out as a loner who doesn''t know how to do anything! Are you all going to walk out as idiots with nothing but a college diploma! Tang Tang Tang. Prof. Kim Tae-Hoon shouted and mmed the desk, perhaps because he was excited. At his response, the atmosphere in the ssroom became cold as ice. The male student, who hesitated before answering his question properly, hung his head as if he was sitting on a cushion of thorns. From now on, all of my sses will not just settle for oldputer skills! I will research and teach you everything from what you know about virtual reality to rted papers that are pouring out recently. So... Professor Kim Tae-hoon blurted out his words with cold eyes. There was even a little bit of life in his voice. I hope there will be no such thing as copying an assignment or doing it roughly. I hope you will do your best to show your own results that exceed my efforts. At the same time, Professor Kim Tae-Hoon shed his own words as if passing by. Otherwise there would be no graduation in my dictionary. Did I say that the scariest person in the world is an enthusiastic andpetent boss? The synergistic effect was no joke as the interest of the professor, who is burning with passion for learning, to the students is enormous. School life won''t be that easy.....'' For some reason, Jae-young was filled with an ominous feeling. * * * Wow... isnt the real professor so scary? after the first ss. Jaekyun shuddered with a pale face. From the first day of orientation, Professor Kim Tae-hun taught the ss for two hours. His reaction wasn''t strange, considering that he even gave him two assignments. Yeah... I think its a bit harsh... No, during thest oti, I said this semester just like before! I was walking out of the ssroom listening to Jae-kyunining that it was not as promised when someone suddenly started talking to me from behind. Jaegyun! hmm....? uh....! you! Jae-gyun turned around at the sudden voice calling him, and Jae-gyun, who confirmed who it was, opened his mouth wide with round eyes as if in surprise. how have you been doing? It''s been a while! Is this the first time you''ve graduated from school? A girl with straight ck hair, who fits the word innocent, was looking at Jaekyun with a smile on her face and waving as if she was happy. Next to her was a male student who looked up and down Jaekyun with an expression of disapproval. Uh uh uhhh... long time no see... Jaekyun looks really flustered and cant even speak properly. However, Jaeyoung was able to notice that his embarrassment was not because of the girl, but because of the boy next to him. Hey Jaekyung. How are you these days? After graduating from school, you haven''t been contacted at all? Keep in touch and live. A tone full of ridicule. Jae-gyun bowed his head, unable to respond to his words. Seeing that reaction, the boyughed and then patted Jaegyun on the head and said, Lets see each other again when the timees. Its almost time for the next lecture, so well go first. Jaegyun! I''ll text you! Come out! A woman waving her hand as if sincerely regretting it, and a man ring at Jae-gyun in contrast. Looking at the two contrasting backs, Jaeyoung asked Jaegyun. Who are those kids? huh? Ah... friends from high school..... Same high school friends. Normally, meeting an alumni from the same high school at university would give a feeling of joy, but Jae-kyun''s reaction did not show that kind of emotion. Are you close to each other? ...that''s a bitplicated. An atmosphere that doesn''t want to say anything. Jaeyoung, who noticed this, spoke with consideration for Jaekyun. I wont bother asking, so dont worry... The girl from earlier is called Chaeyeon. The boy is Taesoo. ..... So, the story of Jaekyuns school days continued for a long time. For a long time, as if to vomit out the resentment that had umted in my heart since I hadn''t been able to say it until now. And while listening to the story, Jaeyoung deeply regretted that he had asked a question that he was not even curious about. So... Chaeyeon is a very kind and good friend, and Taesoo likes Chaeyeon? huh. But Tae-soo doesnt like Chae-yeon being nice to you, so he keeps harassing you where he cant see you? Nod. A high school love affair story that could have happened. It wasn''t difficult, but there was one thing I didn''t understand. But why is Chaeyeon being nice to you? Even at a nce, Chaeyeon must be popr for her objectively pretty appearance. Compared to her, Jaekyun was just an ordinary, or to put it badly, a male student who was close to being a big brother. That is why it was difficult for Jae-young to understand that Chae-yeon, not Jae-gyun, was interested in Jae-gyun first. That''s... That''s...? Jae-Kyun is full of embarrassment at Jae-Young''s question. With a blushing face as if embarrassed, he answered Jaeyoung, who was staring at him, blurting his words. That''s... I feel sorry for not having any friends... Wow..... The reason why I feel like my pride will go over the floor and go to the basement just by listening to it. If it were Jaeyoung, he would just tell him to stop paying attention because he would be miserable, but Jaekyun doesn''t seem to do that. what? Do you like that girl from before? ..... Jaekyun lowered his head with a blushing face. Jaeyoung asked a question without thinking, but he was surprised to see his reaction and asked again. Eh? Do you really like it? ah! Jum! Seeing Jae-gyun''s reaction, who tried to cover his mouth while frantically looking around to see who would hear it, Jae-young couldn''t help but open his mouth in embarrassment. Hey... Then shouldn''t you at least stand up to that Taesoo? He said he likes Chae-yeon in the first ce? I don''t know if they''re close friends or if they''re attending a lecture together by chance, but seeing the two stick together and leave, Jae-gyun seems to have fallen far behind in the datingpetition, so Jae-young said. But Tae-soo has a lot of money... hes handsome... he has a good body... he wears clothes well... As if he was introspecting himself, he pointed out one by one the boy named Tae-soo was better than himself. Jaekyun, who had a dark expression on his face, muttered in a crawling voice. Theres no way Chaeyeon would like someone like me. ..... A sound that makes you lose your energy just by hearing it. Jaeyoung thought for a bit about where to start with this, but soon came to the essential question of why he should interfere in other people''s love lines. And I just yelled at Jaekyun. I dont know! Just don''t mind. If it''s meant to be, we''ll meet again someday, and there are a lot of women in the world! I will meet your mate someday! So the two moved on to another subject. However, Jae-young did not know just how great the talent and potential of the real (?) Jae-gyun was and how much he would get entangled in this damn dating eunuch''s unrequited love. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 It''s hard to y love affairs (1) Baron Mikhail''s estate. After the novice vige was destroyed, his estate, which was located closest to the vige, benefited from it. Looking for warriors to subdue the goblinir! Find a thief to break the Lost Town''s Troublemaker Quest! Items are cheap and urgent! Go see it! The central square of the city has be more crowded than ever before. Full of vitality, this ce has established itself as a hot flow in the second continent in name and reality. There are a lot of quests, and the level of monsters around is appropriate. It''s fine here. Its okay because the range of equipment levels is wider than that. Helven Mine, one of the major iron ore production areas in the Second Continent. Based on the abundant iron ore from there, the equipment produced within a wide spectrum from master craftsmen to apprentice cksmiths was one of the factors that made users settle here. Hey, isnt it that easy to find a ce that sells gear that matches your level? It''s notmon in towns where you can request personal production when you don''t have the equipment you like. There are countless crafting workshops in the city. There, any weapon or any armor was made if you paid for the material and gold, so there were even people who purposely came from other ces. Besides... Im looking for a part-time job to help mine iron ore! Looking for someone to mine iron ore... Please help me. I will give you urgently. Who wants to dig like iron ore! High-ranking mining enthusiasts are wee. After being ckened with iron dust, the clothes were tight. People who looked pitiful just by looking at them, holding pickaxes with missing teeth, were pathetically rescuing people in the town square. What are those people? Uh... dont you know? Those are the mining ves. A mining ve? There are people who almost signed very contracts to make money in the mines. Those people im that the n was made by the lord because the iron ore was so short... but will that be the case in the game? Hehe.... It''s amazing. Exclusive contract for mine mining. A contract that was secretly signed at the entrance of the Hellven Mine, demanding an unbelievable level of mine usage fee. Those who were tricked by the pretty NPC''s smile and unknowingly signed the contractter realized the horror of the contract, but it was already toote. This is a scam! There is now in the game to exploitbor like this! Gamepanies should improve this ridiculous situation right away! This crazy lord eats the backs of users while doing it! Several times, sporadically dissatisfied users staged protests and were subdued by guards. The incident became famous domestically and no more ck cows signed contracts, but Baron Mikhail had noints. Ha ha ha ha! Come on! Baron Mikhail warmly wees Jae-young''s visit. Hearing his heartyugh, Jaeyoung smiled bitterly. How did you get so many new miners? Hehehe... I dont think I will be worried for the next year. Sitting down on the sofa, Baron Mikhail began to talk about the effects of the contract. I don''t know what you did, but just like you said, the number of adventurers with pickaxes has increased tremendously. And when I asked them for a ridiculous advance payment and secretly handed out the contract, do you know how many people epted it? Iknow, right? How much? That''s just 9693 people! 9693 people! Ha ha ha ha! 9693 people. Considering that the number of workers hired and operated by the lord was about 800, the number reached 10 times. The number of people increased iparably, and the benefits the lord would get were astronomical because he didn''t have to pay any welfare expenses. In addition... This use states that you must pay 30% of the mined iron ore as a fee and sell iron ore unconditionally to the merchants in the territory or to the exchange. What the hell did you think? No matter how you look at it, it''s really ingenious and novel! Well... it wasnt something I thought of, but I got the inspiration from somewhere. Isn''t there a saying that bears do tricks and people keep money? Originally, the world is not a world where workers who work hard and sweat are making money. A world of so-called tforms where those who provide a ce to work so that they can earn money can make money. Jaeyoung only taught Baron Mikhail the logic of such a world. A greedy business owner who rips off part of the iron ore he produces as a fee, then rips off more for all kinds of pretexts, such as sales tax, special tax, and ie tax, tossing out all the desirable flesh and leaving only crumbs. Baron Mikhail, swollen with the thought of bing such a business owner, muttered with his eyes wide open and his saliva drooling. Hehehehehehe.... If this is the case, if we make a new ore trading tax and extract more...! Looking at Baron Mikhail, who is more aware of himself than he has been told and makes things that he has never heard of before, Jae-young sees Baron Mikhail who is even more tenaciously thinking of stealing the backs of users. I felt an unknown guilt. You''ll take care of that part now... I think you''ve achieved your goal, but now let''s talk about the reward. The troubles of the quest lord. The goal of achieving 100,000 daily mining has already been exceeded. Now that 200,000 mining was just around the corner, Baron Mikhail nodded happily and said, Right!pensation! At the same time, Baron Mikhail handed Jaeyoung a thick pouch from his desk drawer. As promised, 10% of the extra ie. [You have obtained 12 gold and 23 silver.] 12 gold and 23 silver. At the current gold market price, it is arge sum of 1,223,000 won. Youngju asked Jaeyoung, who received therge amount of money and his eyes widened. why? Is it too little? ....yes? Jaeyoung was surprised by so many, but Yeongju must have misunderstood something from the expression on his face, so he started making all kinds of excuses. Aren''t you sure you asked for 10% of your extra ie? I calcted only the additional increased ie, excluding the existing ie. And this month, it''s because it''s calcted from the middle, and next time, if you settle on thest day of each month, it will probably be more than now. And besides... He kept talking about it, but Jaeyoung was lost in thought while tapping the calctor in his head. If this is enough, there will be no problem with the capsule installment payment.....'' About 900,000 won in monthly installments. However, Young-joo was cheating on users by charging all sorts of fees and taxes with his genius and devil-like ability, and there were a lot more users who were deceived by Jae-young''s video than expected. This is why people are filming videos...'' Jaeyoung realized how powerful the influence of the videos uploaded to Arpandia was. After the video became a hot topic, the number of views alone exceeded 1 million, and thanks to that, it was able to entangle close to 10,000 people. Although his video, which was embroiled in controversy from the beginning and was full of controversy, is now full ofments filled with anger and resentment from those who have been harmed by it now that all of this has been revealed. -Where do you live? I have something to talk about closely, so please give me the address. -I became a ve in the game because of you. -Do you have to work outside as well as work inside? -Hey, this dog XXX! I really do XXXX with you XXXX someday and XXXXX with you. Fortunately, since all information was set to private, everything that could identify Jae-young was edited out of the video, so there was no one to harm him, but when he was determined to be careful in the future, the lord asked. Are you listening? yes? Jae-young, who was trying to organize his thoughts in his head, threw away all the words of the lord. When I suddenly returned to reality, the lord was looking at him with strange eyes. I mean, do you really have any intention of working for me? The lord is licking his lips as if he really wants it. The lord looks at himself with a worried expression, thinking of tearing the spines of the users who have been reduced to very in the mines. Jaeyoung, who got goosebumps from the lord''s expression, shook his head fiercely and said firmly. As I said before, I have no intention of staying here for long. Originally, he nned to stay longer, but he had no intention of staying here for long because of the ugly atrocities (?) hemitted along with Tan and the small conscience that remained in his heart. Um... that''s a pity. Then I will give you another one. [You have obtained the quest reward.] [Item. You have acquired the Lord''s Rmendation''.] A sealed scroll with the seal of Baron Mikhail. Jae-young, who received it, looked at it with doubtful eyes, and he started talking. Do you know what situation our kingdom is in right now? Maroon Kingdom is located in the center of the 2nd continent of Arcadia. As a bridgehead leading anywhere on the continent and a geopolitically importantmercial hub, the Maroon Kingdom was in a pretty good location throughout the continent. To the east is the Harmel Empire. To the west is the kingdom of Paquel, an old enemy. The Bamal Empire to the north and the Gael Federation to the south. Surrounded by one cannibalistic enemy and powerful nations that dare not stand against each other, the Maroon Kingdom has survived by walking a tightrope both politically and diplomatically. Until now, our Maroon Kingdom has maintained its existence by maintaining its neutrality and not coborating with any power thanks to the wisdom of its ancestors. It''s embarrassing, but it''s the only way for our kingdom to survive. It''s mouth-watering like a gori, but it''s a bit of an existence to eat while making a life-and-death decision with neighboring countries. That was the Maroon Kingdom. By the way... these days, the atmosphere in the royal family is unusual. Baron Mikhail, who knows in detail about the trends that are happening in the political world of Maroon Kingdom. Thanks to his story, Jae-young was able to grasp the royal family''s circumstances in detail. So... as the current king is getting old, the prince has to seed to the throne, but he''s too young to hold the power properly? session to the throne. However, since the sessor was too young, wild beasts were rampaging here and there to seize blind power. Thats right. Currently, the Duke of Bergen is at the head of the noble faction, rallying most of the nobles and turning the king into a scarecrow! Besides, what he ims is too dangerous! Um... is that so? It was a story of no interest to Jaeyoung because it was a foreign country anyway, but Baron Mikhail was infinitely serious. A war with the Paquel Kingdom! To do that with the help of the Harmel Empire! Is that a sane thing to do! From the point of view of Baron Mikhail, a royalist and staunch neutralist, this was an argument that would infuriate a thousand people. So, as if excited, he raised his voice with a blushing face and then spoke seriously to Jaeyoung. Seeing your ability to solve problems in our territory, it will probably be of great help to our royal family. Take my letter of rmendation and go to Count Boroken. If it were him, he would recognize your ability and entrust you with a big job. Umm... Jaeyoung was troubled by his words. He wanted to y a normal game, not to get into a headache by getting involved in all sorts of political fights like this. Of course, it was full of the smell that the reward would be enormous, but Jaeyoung thought because he had an intuition that if it went wrong, he would have to run around with a terrible crime like a traitor. But I don''t think this is...?'' Even in the current situation, the capsule installment payment has already been resolved. Since I didn''t have much greed for gold, I didn''t want to take a huge risk. So, just as he was about to shake his head, a message suddenly appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The new mission has been updated.] [Check the mission details.] A system mission dedicated to Wanderers in the Chaotic World. Realizing that this was renewed, Jaeyoung sighed as soon as he shut his mouth that he had opened to refuse. ha.... This damn game.'' Apparently, this game made it impossible for him to watch him calmly enjoy the game. So, Jaeyoung immediately looked at Baron Mikhail with firm eyes and picked up the letter of rmendation. I will try the best I can. Seeing Jaeyoung like that, Baron Mikhail said with a thrilled expression, Where is such a loyal adventurer?, but he didn''t listen to Jaeyoung. Isn''t this all about earning probability? Chapter 24 Chapter 24 My guardian angel is the archangel usibility. It refers to the rtionship between the setting given ording to thew of cause and effect and the situation that urs ordingly. The pursuit of good deeds by heavenly angels. The pursuit of evil by the demons of hell. Monsters and humans confront each other, spirits enjoy nature, and dragons protect the bnce. All this happens naturally ording to probability. In order to do something that deviated from the mission given to you, you need to pay the price ordingly. That''s why I keep asking you for probabilities. Tan ps his wings and eagerly follows Jaeyoung. I was delighted with the word that I thought I would be able to gain a new probability, and I was talking about why it was so important. In principle, beings from another world cannot use their power elsewhere. No, it cannot exist in itself. Of course, in the case of me, I exist through the means of a contract and the medium of you, but the exercise of that power is extremely limited. Satan, the demon lord of chaos. Jae-young walked silently, thinking that if he had brought only 10% of his body''s strength, perhaps the entire continent would have been turned upside down. Anyway, I think you and I can always have a good rtionship. As long as you support probabilities, the limits of what I can do are beyond what you think. Tan speaks with a suspicious smile as if he is full of other ns. Jaeyoung, who was toozy to respond to his constant repetition of the same words, spoke without ignoring him. Status window. [yer Dex] upation: Bard of Anarchy Title: - (Unequipped) Level: - Stats - Strength: 43 - Stamina: 52 - Agility: 33 - Intelligence: 65 - Luck: 0 - Probability: 8551 < Job Unchangeable. The character is permanently bound. > Status window opened after a long time. Unlike other characters, the level column was nk, and thest line was written in bright red text that the character was permanently bound. Other than that, if you''re interested in something to look at..... The stats are too low... Jaeyoung frowned as he looked at the rest of his stats, excluding probability. Normal Strength Dexterity Intelligence A popr strategy is to invest heavily in one of these three stats to grow. For users who y wizards, all actions in the game are focused on things rted to intelligence. Whether it''s meditation, magic research, or alchemy. Or else, rummaging through books in the library. You grow by concentrating on things that can increase your intelligence. However, Jae-young''s behavioral pattern, which moves to earn probabilities, was unpredictable even to himself, so even Jae-young himself could not figure out which ability to focus on. master! Are you listening to me? uh? what? When Jae-young, who was lost in thought and did not hear anything he said, asked Tan, ncing at him, in a voice full of annoyance. What is that mission about! A mission? The contents of the mission that I suddenly opened to Tan''s question. However, no matter how much he read the contents of the mission, Jaeyoung only got a headache and couldn''t even figure out what to do. [Mission. 2] The Maroon Kingdom is full of countries like Iljin. The winds of change are blowing in the kingdom that has survived in the midst of these powerful nations. If you just pass by this period of change, you can''t say it''s a wandering song in a turbulent world, right? Hurry up and be the protagonist of this wind of change. - Contribute to the Maroon Kingdom and the royal family. < The contents of the mission may change depending on the yer''s actions. > It is vague and abstract, so it is difficult to guess what to do. Jaeyoung let out a sigh at the vagueness as if he couldn''t see an inch ahead, so it was an unfriendly content that would probably hit him if he were another user. At this point, I think its just a matter of fucking... I wonder if its a dereliction of duty for a gamepany to just throw it away like this, even though it ims unlimited freedom, but on the other hand, other anxiety overtook me. . Wait... isn''t the kingdom itself flying away like this?'' Jae-young, who had alreadypleted the first mission the other day and had a history ofpletely eliminating beginner viges beyond simply killing beginners, could not even predict what kind of ending this mission would lead to. If there''s just one thing that''s certain... [Let''s do our best in the future. Just like I am doing now.] It was only the fact that wherever he passed, there would always be only confusion and chaos. This was all done to earn probabilities. Uuuuong- As I continued to walk like that, a strange resonant sound suddenly started to ring from the ne hanging around my neck. [The problem with the system error has been resolved.] [The stats of Glorious Celestial Medal'' have been fully adjusted.] [Sorry for the inconvenience. Have fun ying.] With a sudden beep, divine energy began to flow from the ne again. Quek! Why did you mess with that again! After flying around Jaeyoung, the bullet covered with the divine power that erupted again frightened and flew to the other side of him. And unlike before, the divine energy was not absorbed by Jaeyoung and began to condense at a certain point. Woo woo woo- And it started forming a shape. In the form of a beautiful fairy wearing a pure white dress almost the same size as Tan. And behind it were wings of pure white feathers. That one! And as if to find out who it was, Tan, whose eyes were about to pop out, screamed in fright. [The effect of Glorious Medal of Heaven'' has established a connection with the holy heavens.] [A guardian angel is summoned to protect the yer.] [The item is permanently bound to the yer. It is impossible to unequip it.] The summoning ispleted, and the angel slowly opens her eyes while exuding divine energy. And seeing the angel, Tan shouted in a fit of rage. chicken wings! Why are you here! ..... Leaving Tan running wildly behind him, Jaeyoung smiled at the text written above the head of the angel who had just appeared. [Holy Aspect of Glory, Archangel Michael.] Ha ha... fuck. Looking at the appearance of the archangel beyond the demon king, I was able to intuit that this game was bad from the start. * * * Angels and demons. It is a rtionship that can be said to be a supporter of Cheolcheon beyond the friendship between dogs. The meeting of these two beings, who could not exist under the same sky and could be said to be chiefs, created a truly rare situation. This is invalid! It''s invalid! No, no change, go back! Michael, who had been very angry since being summoned. Tan was screaming to go back immediately, but Michael seemed to have no intention of doing so. This damn bat is not quiet in the cave, but whatever he did, he smashed our holy ce in the human world? Are you crazy? That''s... you''d be the same if you were in the same situation! Are you still confused about this? Why dont we have an all-out war properly? float! okay! Try again! Aung daung. It looks like elementary school students fighting. Seeing the two of them flying into the air and punching each other, Jaeyoung suddenly felt like he was eating popcorn. If it weren''t for the titles above their heads, it would feel like a match between an imp and a fairy. Profit! Even if I only brought the body! You are funny. Do you only have a body? In thest war, you ran away like a tail! When did I do that! And then you cheated first! Foul? What foul? It is against thew to bring the absolute new Muspelheim! Eh? Haven''t I ever set a rule against bringing something like that? This is real! It seemed like it had degenerated into a neighborhood fight, but Jaeyoung was able to deduce that he was talking about the Great War, the great war in the past. It was because the contents that they had read carefully about the history of Arcadia in the beginner vige wereing out of their mouths. [In the past, the war between angels and demons, when Michael, the heavenly archangel, wielded the Muspelheim, a holy fire broke out over the entire continent, and the demons who had been ughtering the entire continent hid underground again. Therefore, all life on the continent to the heavenly beings who saved them...] Seeing the two mythical beings fighting so childishly that it is hard to see with both eyes open, they must be wondering what the hell to say to these two. Michael turned his gaze to Jaeyoung and asked. Are you the person who signed a contract with Satan? Uh... thats true. It''s not because I wanted to because this was forced... A situation where she was stabbed already. Jaeyoung had no choice but to treat Michael carefully as he was the one whopletely destroyed the ce they called the Holy Land not long ago. The power you have can be very dangerous when channeled into the wrong entity. Especially when ites to those mean little bats who have been screwed from the ground up. Who is calling it a bat! You damn chicken wings! Tan screaming hotly. But Michael said without blinking an eye. You cant do anything about a contract that has already been made. But in the future, I will be your guardian angel and help you guide you on the right path so that you don''t fall for the devil''s candy coating and temptation. Michael nces at the bullet and burns with a sense of mission that he will protect from now on. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung couldn''t bear to speak. Uh... She seemed to have misunderstood something. Of course, it cannot be said that there is no impact from bullets, but the direction this game wants for you... and the direction of y that this job created by the developer wants you to y... It was evil itself . Being filled with really pure evil and giving everyone equally big and huge candy. That was the purpose and essence of this job, so Jaeyoung could never satisfy what Michael wanted. Kiki Kiki Kiki... Crazy bitch. what the hell are you talking about Khehehehe. Tan, who is dumbfounded by her words, bursts into promiscuousughter. Michael asked as he red at Tan, who was smiling as he held on to his belly, with a look of disapproval. Why the hell are youughing at me like that? Tan can''t even breathe properly. Tan barely spoke to her. Ha ha ha.... As the head of the demons, I assure you... This bastard is the most devilish human being I have ever met. No, sometimes worse than the devil. ..... Evil guaranteed by the devil. While listening to something, Jaeyoung was confused as to whether he should like it as apliment or be angry as a curse word, but Tan gave a low smile andughed. Even I''m learning from him, but you''re going to lead him on the right path? Kuhehehehehe! Tanughed at him as if he were telling him to work hard. At his words, Michael looked at Jaeyoung with eyes as if that was true. However, Jaeyoung just shrugged his shoulders, not knowing how to react in this situation. I don''t think so. All humans created by our great Creator have goodness in their hearts. And it is the holy mission of me and all the angels to bring out such goodness. Michael holds out his hand as if he will not be swayed by the fucking devil. She looked at Jaeyoung with determined eyes and said. From now on, I will try to bring out the goodness in your heart. However, Michael did not know that sometimes there could be absolute evil that cannot be rehabilitated. And what Jae-young will do in the future will be atrocities full of wickedness to the extent that even that damned Satan calls him teacher. Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Kang Shin The employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are having a hectic day every day. Although each work was different, everyone was focused on resolving idents that erupted in their respective departments. Customer, the mining exclusive contract part was made in the game, and we were at fault for this, so we can help directly... No, we don''t mean to fight.... Read the contract carefully. You said you need it... The in-game setting and history of the 1st Great War of the Holy Demons and all the quests rted to the 2nd Great War of the Holy Demons have been analyzed! Boss! We need to have a meeting about the measures to be taken in rtion to the contaminated mythic level quests! Trend Report Submitted for Newly Created Slime Sanctuary! I will attach a fact-checking report regarding the report that ve contracts are taking ce in the estate of Baron Mikhail! And Kwon Myeong-han, executive director who was in charge of and coordinating all of this, was tired from the daily problems. Is this thest? He checked and approved all kinds of payment documents. Even if one small ident breaks out, the scale of the work bes vast, from the circumstances of the incident to problem solving and follow-up prevention and improvement ns. For now, yes. At the words of Director Kang Tae-Hoon, who oversees the Quest nning & Development Team, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon sighed deeply and sat down on a soft chair. But fortunately, it is fortunate that we have nothing to do with the contaminated quest. If you tried to fix it all, would your department be out of business for the next few months? Ha ha ha... thats right. Director Kang Tae-hoon said with a pale face, as if imagining it was terrifying at the words of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. The 2nd Holy Demon War, a mythical quest consisting of hundreds or thousands of linked quests. For unknown reasons, one of the main streams of the quest heading into the great war of the future was poisoned out of proportion, and the flow itself waspletely disrupted. [warning. A fatal error urred in the mythical quest The Second Holy Magic War''.] [Emergency action CODE 132 activated.] An emergency action in which Alice deactivates the quest on its own and requires direct intervention by the manager. Thanks to the emergency measures, the development team, including Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, was able to ess key information that they would not have been able to ess originally, and they did not miss the opportunity to gather relevant information as much as possible. First of all, the head office has decided to directly reorganize and fix all the quests rted to the contaminated quests, so its out of our hands, so lets think about other things. Despite being a virtual reality operator, those who work with extremely limited rights and grades. It was not withoutints about this situation, but it was not that they did not understand this situation because they knew best that they could not fully handle the virtual reality of Arcadia in terms of technology and service. A glorious celestial medallion. You mean this was originally a former job item? That''s right. In terms of the scenario, it was a former item of the hidden ss Holy Prophet''. The abilities and characteristics of the Holy Prophet, which are tightly written in the report. Looking closely at it, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han began to reason hard about what caused this problem. It is a job with the highest performance among the divine series, and in the part of acquiring the item for the previous job, the stem of the quest was out of alignment and it became a problem... It seems that they obtained the item by infiltrating by exploiting it. Systematic error? At the words of executive director Kwon Myung-han, who seemed to ask what that meant, Manager Kang Tae-hun frowned and replied. We couldn''t confirm that either... but it seems there was a bug. A bug? Arcadia, another world that prides itself on being wless. Unlike other games where everything is designed and flowed ording to n, Arcadia could not have any bugs under the contemtion of Alice, an artificial intelligence that actively changes and responds to everything ording to users'' y and situations urring in the game. That''s why, when I heard that there was a bug, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han asked back with an expression that he couldn''t understand. It doesn''t appear to have been done in a dishonest way. We checked directly at the head office, and there is no movement of any sanctions against this, so it seems that it was probably caused by a nning or design error in the game. Who would have imagined? The assumption that someone with a job that is permanently bound to the yer will skip the hidden quests that only those with sex-rted jobs can receive, skipping 93 preceding quests and skipping the item. Okay... good. Hit it all So, who took the item and what happens to the item now? That is the biggest problem. A problem? burning issue. No matter what happened or how he ate the item, that was already in the past. It doesn''t matter when, where, or what you do with that item in the future. However, at the words of Director Kang Tae-hoon, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han was speechless in absurdity. That''s... the user''s information can''t be read... Again...? Oddly enough, the information of general users can be viewed without difficulty, but once such a problem urred, all information about the person concerned was not essible. I don''t know if it''s impossible to read user information in the first ce, but when it was said that it was impossible to read only a few specific people, the development team and the management team were on the verge of going crazy. Same as the troll yer who killed beginners, the ve contract in Hellven Mine, or this mythical quest breaker. I don''t know why they only keep the information about the troublesome users out. Isnt this really just asking us to clean up the poop of users who are buying and running around? It is equally abominable to the artificial intelligence that thoroughly protects them from the user side, as if to leave the mudfish that make all sorts of trouble and shake the clear water, and to the head office, Kwon Myung-han, and development team manager level employees who are watching it. only one However, if you think about it that way, their actions were not iprehensible. It was my honest feeling that if I could only find out who it was, I would want to block it permanently right now. Huh... Then there won''t be any information to know. once you know Lets just monitor whether the item is posted on the trading site or if there is any rted information posted on the Inte, eventer. All right. After talking with Manager Kang Tae-hoon, executive director Myung-han Kwon, who was left alone in the office, suddenly looked at the mirror in front of him. Dark circles on a pale face. He gritted his teeth as he saw himself bing an office worker tired of working overtime, where all his leisure from the previous day had gone. puddeudeuk. These damn troublemakers. Just try to catch someone..... Managing Director Kwon Myung-han, who was plotting selfish retaliatory measures. As if the reputation as a game powerhouse is not a facade, users show a different level of ypared to other countries. He was trembling at their crazy idea, but he didn''t know that there were only one person, not many, who made him work overtime. * * * Pick up. Who is talking about me...? After clearing his ears that kept itching, Jaeyoung was walking while watching the two (?) bickering to the point of being annoying. I will bear with you from now on, but the probability is mine. Don''t touch it. Hey, its funny. Don''t you think I just came down myself? You have to hope for what you want. Oh what! I signed the contract first! Don''t look over! Where are you going to use that probability? Don''t you think I don''t know your intentions, you bastard bat! I told you not to call it a bat, you damn chicken wings! I don''t even think of anyone to give me a chance, but I don''t know how many times we''ve already been drinking kimchi soup with each other. Regardless of whether they were angels or demons, it was the same to covet Jaeyoung''s probability. No, rather, Michael''s obsession was more intense. Hey El? Yes, why? Even in the midst of fighting Tan with a fierce face, Jae-young said to her a little calmly, thinking that the dual appearance of him looking at himself with a gentle and benevolent smile in an instant was rather creepy. It seems like Im fighting Tan with the probability I have from earlier.... I dont just give Tan the probability. An angel or a devil, what does it matter? Anyway, sadly, isn''t this world operating in the infinitepetitive logic of the capitalist market economy system? It''s good or evil, that''s not what''s important, but the most important thing is give and take. It is about giving probability and what can be received. If I give you a probability, what can you give me? serious question. At that question, Tan hurriedly shouted. hey! You can''t do that! You signed an exclusive contract with me! ...? whenever? As I looked at it with a smile, Michael put his finger in his mouth as if thinking for a moment and said. Umm... Well, among the heavenly arms, there are a lot of things that can be of help to humans... but by any chance, are those things necessary...? no. Other than those items, do you have any skills? yes? What is your skill? L asks if he didn''t understand the terminology of the game. Then, Jaeyoung gave an exnation as if he was a little ambiguous. So... I don''t have the ability to fight against strong monsters or enemies because mybat skills are weak. Um... Put simply, I need strength. Power? yes. Could there be something like that? Bard of Anarchy. You know how valuable the probabilities of getting and building this job are, but this job came with huge penalties. Absence of a level system. Basically, through leveling up, yers grow by improving basic stats and gaining additional bonus stats. Of course, Jaeyoung can also increase his stats through skill or training, but the stat increase that can be obtained through leveling up is not possible, so the gap with other users begins to widen. Besides... All the skills I have are nonbat skills.'' The skills acquired so far are diving mining and negotiating newly acquired through a deal with Baron Mikhail. There were only these three. Truly an unpredictable manggae itself. Just looking at Jaeyoung''s abilities and skill window, it was obvious that he would look at it strangely, asking what kind of y this was. That''s why you need something to rece your almost non-existentbat ability. However, all of the skills Satan had suggested before were so terrifying and grotesque that if you used them in front of people, you would be branded as a follower of the devil and burned at the stake, so it wouldn''t be strange, so you had no choice but to give up. Hmm... Exactly what ability do you want? The question is what ability do you want? Jaeyoung pondered the question before answering. Do you have anything to cover? Whether it''s a warrior, a wizard, a rogue, or an archer. Jae-young was confident that he would y ordingly no matter what job he did. He had more natural game physics than anyone else, so in fact, there was no job he would take. It was just a matter of being able to hear Hmm.... It''s normal'' even when people see it. Then theres something just right for you. As if he had a good idea at that question, Michael held out his hand to Jaeyoung with a wide smile. And the moment Jaeyoung held her hand, a small light rose and a message appeared in front of his eyes. [The contract with the heavens has been established.] [The skill spirit has been created.] [You can temporarily borrow the power of the heavens by consuming Probability.] A newly created skill. Michael said with a satisfied smile. Heaven will give you the strength you need. But with enough probability, Mr. Hogang. Leaving behind her bright expression, which seemed to have removed the afterword, Hoho.'', Jaeyoung tried to activate the skill. Kangsin. Dig. A huge window spread out in front of my eyes with the activation of the skill. The window was filled with the names and details of many people. [Farhan, Knight of Glory.] [Merlin, Great Mage of Truth.] [Legendary Shrine Parkel.] [Faithful Great Sword Mirfen.] ...From ancient heroes who existed in the past and now belong to the heavens, many As he was scrutinizing the list, stats, and skills of the saints who had received his respect and envy, something suddenly popped out in front of him. Chwiik Chwiik. Give me everything you have. right. Chwiik. If you give it all away, it won''t hurt to eat it. Chwiik. Several orcs holding weapons that were hideous to look at. Originally, Jaeyoung''s abilities would have been so strong that he couldn''t even dare topare them, but Jaeyoung smiled strangely as he looked at those who appeared at strange timing. and shouted Strong God. Lone Crusader Verheimer. Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Tears of a Mine ve Verheimer, a lonely pdin. As the title bestowed upon him, he always acted alone, so no one remembers his name or his achievements. However, it was a very famous being called by a different name to the demons. [The hammer is out! You fucking demons!] A crusader holding a huge, heavy, hideous hammer that was literally soaked in the ck blood of fallen demons in one hand, and holding an incorporeal shield made of divine power in the other hand. Devil''s Breaker, which smashes the earthen pot of demons at once. It''s called Verheimer. [The celestial being dwells in the yer''s body.] [The power of the existence can be temporarily exerted.] This is..... Unprecedented power boiling inside the body. Seeing his hand holding a giant hammer he had never heard of before, Jaeyoung made a surprised expression. ah! Why is it someone like that even if I summon him? oh? Do you know who it is? are you kidding? Among the devils in hell, is there anyone who doesn''t know that idiot? The quiet devils came to Hell on their own feet and smashed all the earthenware pots with that hammer! From the perspective of the demons, he may be a rare heinous criminal whomitted serial killings (?) due tock of trespassing, but to the angels, is he not a glorious and righteousmb who did justice for them? Verheimer, who died and went to heaven, was summoned to this earth again even though Tan ran around and shouted, A guy like that really needs to go to hell!'' In the form that dwells in Jaeyoung''s body. Chwiik... Chwiik... Human... Something has changed. The hammer... that looks scary. three orcs. Jaeyoung''s appearance suddenly changed in an instant, and they looked back at each other as if they were quite embarrassed. Then, an orc threw down the ax he was holding. Chwiik.... Seonppang is the best...! A hatchet flew in the blink of an eye. Perhaps the original Jaeyoung was at such a speed that he could not react and was hit or barely avoided it, but not now. Hmm... thats how you use it. A huge divine shield that suddenly appeared in the other hand that was not holding a hammer. Reducing and increasing and adjusting the size of the shield, Jaeyoung was quickly grasping Verheimer''s skills and characteristics. [The unrepentant will is activated.] [The divine shield is activated in battle mode.] [The faith of justice is activated.] [The me of the burning dawn is activated.] All passive skills and buff skills are activated and rapidly rise. defense and stamina recovery. And when the pure white me began to rise from his hammer, the expressions of the orcs changed in an instant. Chwiiik... Humans... Scary. Donte closer. Chwiik..... That hammer... Chwiik... looks sick. The orcs instinctively felt fear at the sight of Jaeyoung slowly approaching with a me hammer. They took a step back, but Jaeyoung had no intention of letting them go. Ttukbaegi is perfect, you kids. * * * [Skill skill has ended.] [Settlement for the duration and yer''s actions has begun.] [352 probability consumed.] The battle with the orcs ended abruptly. A lightly wielded hammer. The orcs fell down with a knock'' sound and turned gray. Jaeyoung couldn''t help but lick his appetite in regret at the feeling that it was over after hitting one honey chestnut. Ehh.... I thought I would be able to fight like a real battle after a long time. It feels like I stopped pooping in the middle. This awkwardness was the same, but the probability of being ripped off like a knife was more ufortable. No, how hard is it to collect probabilities, but you can get 352 probabilities with just a few minutes? It took 3 minutes no matter how long it took to kill 3 orcs. Of course, before that, he said something stupid about checking his ability level, but he still didn''t stay strong for 10 minutes. Therefore, the probability imed this time could not be nothing but profiteering itself. Because it is probabilities that make meaningless situations make sense. I don''t know about Mr. Dex, but the Verheimer he summoned was a saint with great power. It is not expensive at all because it is to bring that power to thisnd fully. In the end, If you summon a strong guy, you have to eat that much. If you have anyints, just summon the weak ones.'' Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung felt anxious about how much probability she was trying to eat if she used this skill properly. It might be useful in a dangerous situation... but I''ll have to use it sparingly. The performance of the skill itself is infinitely useful and excellent, but it is a hippo that eats probabilities. Because of that, Jaeyoung sealed the skill deep in his heart, vowing never to use it unless he was really about to die. Ugh, the probability of that guy really. Jaeyoung nced at Tan and L, who were following him, and started walking again grumbling. He seemed to be thinking of an ominous future in which he would eventually be sucked down to the very marrow by two salesmen who were snooping around trying to extract any probability. * * * The Hellven Mine where Jaeyoung left. Kaang Kaang- The ce was full of more users and workers than ever before, and it was enjoying a great boom with countless iron ores being mined every day. hey! there! Can''t you pickaxe right? That way, when will I fill my quota! Of course, most of the users mining there were swinging pickaxes against their own free will. kill! kill! Damn gamer! kill! Ah-oh! Is this a game! Uhhhh... Can I just look at it once? All my friends went hunting. Exclusive contract for mining the Hellven Mine. This long-named contract exempted the use fee of the ridiculously expensive Hellven Mine and allowed it to be used for free. With only a few restrictions and breach uses in ce. You just have to sign here, and you just have to pay 30% of what you mined as a fee. And the mined ore must be sold to merchants within the territory. ah. And there are two types of contracts, term and quota. Which one would you like? Oh, I rmend the period. Because this contract is a little special event for the lord, so it won''t happen unless it''s this time... You say you''re doing it for a period of time? That''s a good choice. I''ll take a one-year contract then. The contract was made in an instant, at the speed of blinding ones eyes, like a mobile phone contract. All those who personally signed this contract were enved in the mines of Hellven, spending their days as mining machines. Does it make sense that this is a personal fault! Who knew someone would cheat in the game! that''s right! NPCs should help users, but on the contrary, where is the game that eats away! Of course, it''s the fault of those who thought it was in the game and signed it casually, but that doesn''t mean the users can''t just sit still and watch this ridiculous situation. They protested to the customer center and held a sit-in in front of Baron Mikhail''s mansion, but nothing changed. Ah... should I just beat them all up and run away... someone muttered, exhausted from the hardbor. But at those words, someone waved their hands in disgust. Hey Arthur. I''d rather just quit the game. Didn''t you see what happened to the users who ran awayst time? What happened? Due to the vition of the contract with the lord, he became a fugitive, and no matter what town or city he visited, he was treated as a criminal and was arrested and brought back here. Slitting his neck with his hand, he pointed at a user far away. Look over there. If you don''t want to be like him, just keep calm. You only have to hold out for a year anyway. At first nce, a chubby boy with shabby feet and huge shackles that looked like an NPC was wielding a long pickaxe. hey! fugitive! When will you be released from that? Arent you digging harder? The boy, who even had a watcher attached to him, was none other than a middle school student, Lee Jung-sik. Sigh...! On the outside, he seems to be just a novice user, but surprisingly, he was a beta tester for the game. The first virtual reality user and the first visitor to Arcadia. But now, he was just a ve in the mine like everyone else, and he was digging iron ore with tears every day. I am crazy. It''s a mine that I used to use anyway, and I''m going to save a little bit of that money . That''s why he often digs iron ore in the Hellven Mine and also works odd jobs in a famous workshop, raising his crafting skill proficiency quite a bit. caang caang. A contract that automatically renews if you don''t log in or if you don''t meet your daily quota. In the end, realizing that there was no answer other than running away, Jung-sik made ate night escape, and as a result, he obtained a title. [Hellven Mine''s No. 1 ve] After receiving the humiliating title, Joong-sik devoted all of his gamey time to mining iron ore. Did that effort reach the sky? A text suddenly appeared in front of him as he swung his pickaxe like he was possessed. [Mining skill has risen to rank 5.] [Mining speed increases dramatically. It doesn''t get tired even after mining for a long time.] [The title Relentless Miner'' has been acquired.] [The oldest fire takes an interest in you.] The oldest fire? A message you''ve never seen before. The moment his skill, which he had been mining even before the game started its official open service, acquired the title the moment he entered the 5th rank, and also came along with an unknown mysterious message. And as if giving him a clue, a phrase passed by. [I feel the oldest fire like you who have been with iron for a longer time than anyone else.] ...What do you mean by this? The content that ends with just saying that someone is interested, without any exnation or content. The watcher shouted at Jung-shik, who nkly stared at the sky. hey! Are you kidding again? Aren''t you working soon? Joong-sik was startled at the shouting from behind and swung the pickaxe again. But he didn''t know that Ellis, who oversees Arcadia, was watching his y more closely than anyone else. [The estate of Baron Mikhail. Hellven Mine. Unusual matter detected.] [Partially fulfilling the conditions for granting the hidden quest.] [Giving clues to the rted quest, God''s cksmith''.] [yer Nayattongson. Designation of level 2 surveince target.] Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Lovemaking is difficult (2) Maroon Kingdom. Situated in the center of the second continent of Arcadia, this small and medium-sized kingdom was gaining enormous profits as a transportation hub that brokered trade with neighboring countries. Selling spices brought directly from Paquel Kingdom! Cheap cheap! Look at the rare ss ornaments of the Gael Federation! The convoy to the Harmel Empire departs today. Merchants who will apany you, gather quickly! Rare items gathered from all over the continent, rich resources buried in the Maroon Kingdom, and luxury equipment created by artisans were the main economic driving force that fed the Maroon Kingdom. And recently, strange rumors were spreading among merchants from all continents who gathered in the Maroon Kingdom. Did you hear that rumor? What rumors? The atmosphere between Maroon Kingdom and Paquel Kingdom is unusual these days. Arent those two enemies of each other? What''s new..... As enemies of the undead from a long time ago, they grind their teeth and sharpen their knives and hate each other. It wasn''t that surprising, so they snorted and took it lightly, but some merchants took it seriously. No, something really strange this time. This time, the quantity of weapons sold in Maroon Kingdom has been drastically reduced. And just looking at the skyrocketing grain prices, doesnt it seem like they are preparing something? Grain prices have skyrocketed recently. Watching severalrge merchant guilds sweep away the supply itself, no matter how you look at it, the atmosphere of suspiciousness continued to flow among the merchants, but not many were convinced of war yet. so? So, are you going to change your business to munitions at this point? Throw away all the distributionworks you''ve built up until now and turn to war. Pass your customers over to me. Does that make sense? I mean, it''s just weird. Merchants who can''t waste money relying on intuition about things that aren''t even sure. So most of them just watched without doing anything, but a very small number of merchants were busy working behind the scenes without anyone noticing. Supra Lord! We have decided to exclusively sell all wheat produced in the Bile Manor to us. What about the Aurel estate? We haven''t given a definite answer yet, but the lord is positive about our proposal. There seems to be no problem. Yeah... I dont know until I sign the contract, so pay attention. Keep an eye on the movements of the other upper ranks as well. All right. The guild that monopolized grain by going around the territories called the granary of the Maroon Kingdom was called the Giem Merchant''. That... Bhan, no, the lord of the upper ranks. what? The price of gold has risen so much that it is difficult to buy funds. First of all, I think we need some time to expand the scale. Virtual Reality Arcadia. There were many people who smelled money in this game that people all over the world are enthusiastic about, but it was none other than the Korean conglomerate GM'' that actively jumped into it. Stop talking nonsense! Even if you lose money right now, once you increase the scale, you can eat more profits than that. If it''s hard, you can ask your father for additional funding! That''s because the president doesn''t see it that well either..... Choi Jae-gyu, the youngest son of the current GM chairman. Since he was young, he has been treated as a naughty boy and trouble maker, and is at the bottom of the session list. After repeating his dissolute life until now, he came to his senses and tried to do anything, but there was no position to entrust to him, who had already gone out of his way. How many positions have you thrown away so far? Head of Business Division, Commerce Department Manager, Team Leader. Do you know what your reputation is in thepany because you said you would do it every time and ran away after making all sorts of fuss? There is no ce for you to work at ourpany from now on! Coincidentally, Arcadia started service in Korea at the time when the chairman instructed them to find a job at anotherpany if they wanted to work. Jaegyu was able to gain a great realization by ying Arcadia by chance. It''s here! A world so realistic that it can be called another world and enthusiastic people around the world. And the price and trading volume of gold soaring endlessly. Looking at it, Jegyu smelled a huge and strong smell of money that he had never smelled before. ah! If you decided to support me, you should do it until the end. Well, I''m already saying how much you helped me! Already... only the invested funds are 8 billion. ..... Jegyu kept his mouth shut as if he was slightly embarrassed by the amount of money beyond his imagination. It was because it was good to see his father, who is unfamiliar with the game, getting angry at the fact that he spent 8 billion won in less than two months. But, this work is very important! You know that! If this goes ording to n, what a profit it will make! I agree with that. A member of the GM''s family nested in the estate of the Duke of Bergen. Using the gold acquired by investing a huge amount of cash, the GM upper management team, which grew faster than anyone else and caught the eye of the duke, got an opportunity like heavenly luck. ording to what I hear these days, you are the fastest-growing guild in our territory.... I need a guild with less fame like you. Suddenly, Jegyu is called by the duke. The duke gave instructions to him who was brought without knowing why. A war is about to break out soon. It is inevitable in order to resolve that deep-rooted grudge and make the Maroon Kingdom richer and stronger. And in order to do that... A top tier that will cut off as much grain supply as possible to flow into the Pakel Kingdom and stock up on grain in the Maroon Kingdom without attracting the attention of other upper tiers as much as possible. The Duke of Bergen singled out GM''s top for such a role. Buy all grains as much as you can, regardless of means. Get the price right. All you have to do is move quietly and unnoticed. The hand of the powerful ruler of the Maroon Kingdom. It was certain that it would be apanied by huge profits, so Ja-gyu could not refuse it. No, rather, it was something to beg for to be entrusted with this task even if he did not ask. therefore! Say good-bye to your dad and ask for more funding! You won''t have to pay it backter! I will do that. His assistant who bows his head and closes the connection saying he will. While waiting for an answer from his father, the chairman, Jegyu thought about the future. The profit to be made after disposing of all the stockpile of grain is also profitable... but if the Duke of Bergenes to power... The royal family of the Maroon Kingdom became a scarecrow because of the decrepit king. Jaegyu smiled as he imagined the many benefits that would return to them once the Duke of Bergen came to power. The Maroon Kingdom, which serves as a transportation hub and a link between continents. The GM upper ss will make the most of this geographical advantage and grow faster than any other upper ss. And someday, I will prove it to everyone with phenomenal profits. That he was not just a prodigal idiot, but a member of the able Royal Family. * * * While Jae-gyu was drinking a bowl of kimchi soup, Jae-young was having a meeting with Count Boroken. So Baron Mikhail sent you? The drawing room of Count Boroken. I came with a rmendation letter, but Count Boroken opened it and read it, looking at Jaeyoung with strange eyes and saying, But why did Baron Mikhail send you to me? A question thates in without blinking. Jaeyoung shrugged his shoulders and answered the question indifferently. I dont know. Did you just want to go? Couldn''t you exin in detail to him, How can you make 10,000 ves by sitting still if you cheat?'' Jaeyoung avoided an immediate answer because he couldn''t bear to say why Baron Mikhail was so impressed with him. Baron Mikhail said that since you arepetent, you should listen to various advice to prevent this war. is that so? Jaeyoung kept quiet because there was no way to know how Baron Mikhail described himself in the letter of rmendation. Then Count Boroken asked Jaeyoung with eyes full of questions. I think I heard about the situation from Baron Mikhail.... Do you have any good ideas in mind? Uh... Jaeyoung couldn''t answer his question because he hadn''t really thought about it. No, I thought of many things, but all of them were contemtions on how to make the situation worse'', so there was no usible n to suggest to him. I know that the prince is too young to make any sense, and most of the nobles are sticking together with the Duke of Bergen, but is that correct? Yes. A prince who is only 8 years old now. It is impossible to hold back older men sitting on the throne at an age when they would be sitting and ying with toys, fighting for power and arguing with each other. Isn''t it a fantasy of the Middle Ages, not a joke given by ss? That''s why the royal faction of Earl Boroken had no choice but to be pushed back. First of all... there is an easy way and a hard way... The easy way? Earl Boroken asked with a bright face when he said there was a way. Jaeyoung cut his throat with his hand and said. I heard that the Duke of Bergen is the main culprit? Originally, any organization will copse without the top head. Does that mean... to kill the Duke of Bergen? Yes? At those words, Count Borokenughed with a clear expression of disappointment on his face. Do you think assassination is that easy? Even the troops escorting him are a mixture of master-ss knights and wizards, and he is thoroughly vignt anywhere 24 hours a day, but if the assassination attempt fails... Jaeyoung said in his gaze. Am I going to do it myself? ...you? yes. ..... Earl Boroken couldnt bear to speak as if that statement was more absurd. He looked at Jaeyoung with the look in his eyes, Are you serious?'', then cleared his throat and said cautiously. Dont get me wrong, listen. I don''t think you can even brush the duke''s cor, so how the hell are you going to kill him? Count Boroken, who has risen to the ranks of Master. In his eyes, who had risen to the rank of count thanks to his excellent swordsmanship, Jaeyoung was just a normal person. No, not exactly the level of a normal adventurer. why? Do you think you can''t? Jaeyoung with a serious expression as if he was sincere. Count Boroken, who looked at his eyes for a moment, stood up and said. Follow me. The ce where Count Boroken took Jaeyoung was none other than the gymnasium in the backyard. Standing there facing each other, Count Boroken threw a sword at him and said, If you''re that confident, prove it in sparring with me. A count who is a sword master. Even though he had not long since reached the level of a master, Count Boroken, who had been given the title of shield of the Maroon Kingdom, intended to make Jaeyoung feel for himself how futile his n was. Jaeyoung looked down at the sword he handed him and suddenly muttered. A bright light began to surround his body. Yaso, the wandering knight of the river god. Whoops. This... what is this? Count Boroken was astonished when he felt that Jaeyoung''s momentum in front of him hadpletely changed. He, who did not seem to have held the sword properly, stood with the same momentum as a well-forged sword. And Jaeyoung naturally fixed the sword and said, like a person who has been with a sword all his life. 5 minutes. what? Lets finish it in 5 minutes, because it runs fast. What the hell is that...! Chanang. Jaeyoung''s sword flew at an invisible speed. Count Boroken, who instinctively blocked the blow, was busy blocking his attack even after that. This is nonsense...'' The Count brought him to the parade ground with the intention of making him feel the coldness of this world. But he didn''t know that this world was so cold that even a sword master couldn''t help it. Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Chijeonggeuk is difficult (3) [Yaso, a celestial being, dwells in the yer''s body.] [The power of the being dwelling in the yer can be disyed temporarily.] Uuuuuuu. Unprecedented power that boils inside the body when the Spirituality skill is activated. Jaeyoung quickly checked the skills he possessed and said. 5 minutes. Lets finish it in 5 minutes, because it runs fast. Chaeeng. [Quick steps are activated.] [The will to battle is activated.] [The wind sword is activated.] [The wind shield protects you.] The sh of the swords resonates lightly. In the blink of an eye, Jaeyoung''s sword moved twice and three times, aiming for Count Boroken''s vitals. Keuuugh! Earl Boroken quickly flirts with his body and falls back. His face was full of bewilderment. You... you weren''t an ordinary adventurer. Now do you understand? great speed. His sword, which flew in an instant and precisely aimed at vital points, was clean without any superfluities. As a Master, if he was barely aware of it and was able to avoid it, he probably wouldn''t even think of avoiding it at the level of a normal knight or swordsman. You know that saying that you will assassinate yourself is not a lie. is it so? Well then, Dalian is about this... Jaeyoung was delighted at the imusible sound every second, but Count Boroken said seriously as he straightened his sword again. Then I''ll try to do it properly from now on. Whoops. An aura de, an intangible de that swayed and formed from his sword. Jaeyoung let out a sigh as the secret energy that symbolized the master came out. Oh really... do I really have to do that? Where to take this attack! Count Boroken strikes Jaeyoung with a sword full of aura des. However, he couldn''t help but be astonished at Jaeyoung''s response to the attack. Ji-ing - Earl Boroken was pushed back by the counter-resilience that was raised with a strange sound of blow. He stuttered as he looked at the intangible white de on Jaeyoung''s sword. What is it? Were you also a sword master? Sword Master. The one who realized the extreme meaning of the sword. The application and affinity of Aura reached the limit, and even the intangible de could be realized. However, that swordsman-only skill was activated from Jaeyoung''s sword. Ha really... Hey! L! Skip the probability in moderation! Suddenly, Jae-young looks at Count Boroken with an annoyed expression while talking to himself iprehensible. There were many things he wanted to ask, but Count Boroken couldn''t open his mouth. Zi Ying- Now lets finish it really quickly. Jaeyoung looks impatient. His sword started dancing again. Even with the pure white Aura de attached. * * * [Skill skill ended.] [ounting for the duration and yer''s actions begins.] [Probability 2812 consumed.] [Overwhelmed those who reached the stage of phenomenal achievement master!] [Title Miracle You have acquired the duelist.] [Strength increases by 10.] Hey! What is the probability! 2352. The duration of the spirit skill is about 10 minutes. It was the same time as the previous fight against the Orcs, but the consumption was on a different level. Even though I deliberately chose the one with the least consumption of probability. Its because I barely used my powerst time. Don''t you have anything to say honestly this time? ..... Jaeyoung was silent at the words L said with a bright smile. Honestly, it was because it was a victory obtained by using all of the skills without skills while facing Count Boroken and using 100% of the power granted to him. But... its pretty amazing. Even if you usually draw the power of the heavens, it''s notmon to use that power so perfectly... Have you ever trained a sword before? Michael looked at Jaeyoung with interest and asked. Until now, Heaven had lent its power to many humans, but she had never seen her use that power so freely and perfectly. Jaeyoung''s battle just now perfectly reproduced the power of the wind'' to the extent that it is safe to say that the wandering knight, Yaso, has returned. Ah-oh! Damn probability! Jae-young screams in an annoyed voice, checking something in the air as if he doesn''t care about her question. And in front of him was Count Boroken, who was sitting down with a shocked face. I can''t believe it.....'' A young man who looks very normal on the outside. Other than the fact that he was an adventurer, there seemed to be nothing special about him, but through sparring with him, Count Boroken was able to realize. The reclusive absolute strong.'' In the eyes of Count Boroken, Jaeyoung was not just a sword master. An existence that has reached the advanced level of a sword master who can put attributes into auras and realize that power. I don''t know why he was interested in the royal family of the Maroon Kingdom, but I could fully understand why Baron Mikhail sent interest to him. Hey... What is your sword pursuing? Count Boroken asks Jae-young more seriously and politely than ever before. Seeing his attitude as if he was seeking a great teaching, Jaeyoung looked at him with strange eyes and said. Maybe its the wind? Since all of his skill names were covered with wind, he roughly said it was wind, but Count Boroken stayed still for a long time as if in deep anguish at his words and muttered. Wind... wind... the power of the wind, which is faster, freer, and sharper than anyone else''s... As if having gained a great realization, Count Boroken stood still and started swinging his sword alone, as if Tan felt pitiful. muttered. Why is the owner doing gymnastics on a moonlit night by himself? ...thats what I want to say. Earl Boroken fell into a trance all alone. Jaejoong had no choice but to leave him alone and watch him. * * * Sorry for this. I came to a great realization and sorted out my thoughts without even realizing it... Earl Boroken started dancing the sword dance alone for more than 2 hours. Returning to the parlor, I was having a deep discussion with El about how much the spirit skill extorts probability, but Count Boroken entered with an embarrassed expression and said, No, well... it can be. He bowed down to say he was sorry and came in, but there would be nothing good if he had toe out crookedly, so Jaeyoung nodded as if he understood everything. Then Count Boroken looked at Jaeyoung with a different attitude than before and asked. Then, to reiterate the issue we were discussing earlier... Do you really intend to assassinate the Duke of Bergen? Isnt that the simplest way to solve this problem? The Duke of Bergen, the head of the aristocratic faction. If he didn''t y a decisive role in preparing for war anyway, the other nobles would naturally fall apart, so naturally, his assassination angle was seen. Even so, if the Duke of Bergen dies, there will be chaos within the royal family... Count, do you know that it''s a Gordian knot? The Gordian Knot...? What is it? A sophisticated andplex knot that will never be untied. What is a simple way to solve this? ...? Count Boroken, who has no idea at all about Jaeyoung''s riddle thrown out of nowhere. To him, Jaeyoung touched the knife and said. I just cut the knot. No matter how hard I struggle and sweat, I try to solve it somehow, but it won''t work. Its easier to just cut them off. The truth of life derived from past sages through their experiences. The hawk is medicine, the fist is better than thew, and the sword is stronger than the pen. These words did note out for nothing. Sometimesplicated problems can be solved quickly by overturning the table first. ..... Im going to scream and see. What will happen after that... wont it work out somehow? The irresponsible thought ofmitting something but not taking care of it. However, Count Boroken couldn''t bear to reject his whispered proposal with a strangely evil smile on his face. It was because it seemed that if I refused for some reason, more painful things would happen. * * * [Mission has been updated.] [Sub-purpose has been added.] Newly updated mission after the conversation with Count Boroken. Looking at the contents of the mission, Jaeyoung smiled with satisfaction. [Mission. 2] The Maroon Kingdom is full of countries like Iljin. The winds of change are blowing in the kingdom that has survived in the midst of these powerful nations. If you just pass by this period of change, you can''t say it''s a wandering song in a turbulent world, right? Hurry up and be the protagonist of this wind of change. - Contributing to the Maroon Kingdom and the royal family. < The contents of the mission may change depending on the yer''s actions. > [Sub-purpose] - Assassination of the Duke of Bergen -????? As expected... it''s a fun game. A game as free as it is abstract. Seeing that the purpose of the mission was newly added, Jaeyoung nodded as expected. Quack. So, are you going to kill that duke? no way. You really don''t think so, do you? Tan''s eyes sparkle as if he''s having fun. And L frowned as if he didn''t like it. Jaeyoung asked at the reaction of the two, which was literally opposite. why? To say that murder is a bad thing... A mean assassination. That''s what ugly people who don''t know honor do. We must challenge him to a duel and judge him squarely! ..... Murder is not the problem, but assassination is the problem, and the image of an angel in Jae-youngs head literally went into the shredder and turned into terrifying powder when she ardently told him to kill him fairly. So... it doesnt matter if I kill you, but just inform me and then kill me? Yes! At least 3 days before the duel, at least send out a notification that you will be assassinated, so the opponent has time to prepare for death! That''s right. ..... Really, Jaeyoung couldnt understand the angels moral concept at all. And that seemed to agree with the trajectory, looking at L with a pitiful look at her ardor and recing what Jaeyoung wanted to say. I knew from the beginning, but you''re such a crazy bitch. I dont want to hear the words of an ugly devil. It''s ugly, what''s ugly! When the two started to tap again, Jaeyoung stopped them. I have no intention of killing him right now. what? I beg your pardon? At Jaeyoung''s words, Tan and L turn around and ask back at the same time. Originally, when there is a conflict, you cant just listen to one person. You have to listen to both sides and make your decision. The Duke of Bergen dares to start a war? It''s not just that, there must be a reason for everything. Whatever it is, Jaeyoung is a thorough third party. He wasn''t born in the Maroon Kingdom, so it didn''t matter whether a war broke out for Jaeyoung, who was just an adventurer anyway. The most important thing is..... I''m going to listen to what they want and raise the hand of the person who will benefit me the most. Wouldn''t it be to scrape together the probability as much as possible? Wow... you are... Such insincere behavior! Very wrong! perfect selfishness. Hearing Jaeyoung''s determination that he could throw away a promise at any time for the greater good, Tan gave a thumbs up, saying he was also the owner, and L shouted as if scolding him with a shocked, stern expression. Promises are precious! We must go and kill the Duke of Bergen right now! L makes the remark that we must run right away and take the head of the Duke of Bergen. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh as he felt the image of an angel in his head shatter again. Is that what an angel would say... Sometimes, it was him who gave off a strong feeling that the angel and the devil had switched. Chapter 29 Chapter 29 A dream is just a dream [Next news. Today, the price per share of Ajin Electronics has achieved a phenomenal record of exceeding 5 million won during the intraday. This is the stock price that Chairman Lee Jun-hee publicly announced when Arcadia was announced in the past, and many investors were enthusiastic about it ..... ] He tried to calm himself down and let out an ufortable moan. What the hell is Ajin Electronics doing, how do you create such nonsense? Dreamer, a virtual reality connector. The virtual reality division of Ajin Electronics, which is in charge of all connectors supplied worldwide. As their factories are operating 24 hours a day to meet the increasing order volume, the quarterly sales were also showing an unimaginable increase rate, and it was a joke. What the hell are you guys doing sitting at your office desk? Are you trying to find a new business or are you growing an existing business? The GM Group grew into arge Korean conglomerate through the construction and automobile industries. In the past, there was a brilliant period when the ranking of the business world was higher than that of the Ajin Group, but recently, the gap has widened beyondparison, so Chairman Choi Chun-shik was ufortable. That... Chairman, we also saw a 21% increase in salespared to the previous quarter... Bang! Is this the time to brag about a 21% increase? The Azin Group rose by 125%! 125%! ...Sorry, Chairman. A bizarre situation where even though it rose by 21%pared to the previous quarter, it should be criticized rather than praised. However, the inferiorityplex that Chairman Choi Chun-sik had built up for a long time toward Ajin Group was huge, so he didn''t like the current results at all. At my time! uh? I thought about how to grow thepany more every day, but I can''t see young people these days doing that. I always get off work on time. What is it? It''s overtime, it''s a dinner party, and everyone tries not to participate. Only then can you develop a sense of loyalty to thepany! The meeting room was filled with chilly cold at the GM chairman''s words. Im sorry, Chairman. We will do our best to inspire employees loyalty to thepany. Our affiliates recently organized a mountain climbing club on the weekend, and employees are highly engaged and satisfied with it. It is said that you can increase your loyalty to thepany while doing these activities... Even if its not that, holding a 4-day, 3-night workshop with all employees every quarter... A meeting room full of the smell of old school, where secret ns are pouring out. Chairman Choi Chun-sik, who was sitting quietly in the room and listening to the presidents of each affiliate of the GM Group, jumped up from his seat and shouted, Next quarter! Discover new business by next quarter! Innovative and excellent in business,e make future food to feed our group! okay? Yes, I understand. We will try our best to find out. I will make sure to bring results that will not disappoint! Chairman Choi Chun-shik''s face was filled with irritation as he left the meeting after the meeting. Eh. I don''t know what it''s like for these people to work on their sry only. In the past, to be exact, the GM Group was at a simr level to the Ajin Group until about five years ago. However, unlike them, which grew explosively byunching various innovative products starting with smartphones developed by Ajin Electronics, GM Group was staying at a simr level to the past. difference in growth rates. And as the reason for the gap, Chairman Choi Chun-shik saw it as a matter of discovering new businesses. New business..... I only need to catch the right ones... Chairman Choi Chun-sik was also looking around personally, apart from the instructions given to the presidents. And one of them was a business brought by his youngest son, who happened to be a nerd. I have something to report to you, Chairman. Jae-gyu''s assistant who came knocking on the door of the office. Chairman Choi Chun-shik''s eyes became sharp as he looked at him. What else? Chairman Choi Chun-shik shows a vignt attitude. That''s also the case, because every time Jae-gyu''s secretary came to visit, he consistently asked for money. We need more money. This crazy...! hey! Do you think that makes sense now? When his youngest son first came, eximing that he would try virtual reality properly, Chairman Choi Chun-shik had no idea. He had the feeling that he would know nothing if he didn''t have an ident and just stay quiet, but he changed his mind after receiving a proper business report from his assistant. Chairman, virtual reality is not just a simple game. Even within this, the economy is running in the same way as the real economy, and it is a game enjoyed by people all over the world. If we can monopolize the economy here, the benefits to be derived are also enormous. Arcadia, where everything is virtual. Since no one was paying attention to the economy in this area yet, if GM Group preupied this ce as soon as possible, it could benefit greatly from it. However, Chairman Choi Chun-shik could not easily understand such a concept. Didn''t you say before that there were no expenses other than capsules and game fees? But now, what more money do you need! Originally, money that had nothing to go out other than capsules and game fees. However, because the time and effort he had to spend to earn gold in the game was reced with cash, the cost that Jegyu consumed was beyond imagination. The money I poured into you guys for two months alone is 8 billion! 8 billion! I dont think that is the name of your dog! 8 billion investment. A small amount of money to buy a small building in downtown Seoul went into just one game. If he had just asked for it, he would have kicked him out right away, but Chairman Choi Chun-shik picked up the paperwork he presented. This is a business that the young master is working on. Thick business report. The long-awaited report detailed the youngest son''s y record, how the invested funds were used, and future ns and estimated profits. what? Is this possible in the game? That''s right. Huh..... After reading his report, President Choi Chun-shik changed his judgment a bit. Intense and sophisticated political maneuvers taking ce inside what was thought to be a simple game. And in the meantime, he was even slightly proud of the actions of the youngest son, a trouble maker trying to make a profit. Heh heh.... That guys job is a merchant? They say blood can''t be tricked, even in games... You don''t y games. He is seriously thinking of it as a business and working hard. Chairman Choi Jun-sik, who was delighted by the sugar coating of his assistant. He positively began to consider the business prospects outlined in the papers. So... the Maroon kingdom is going to war with the Pakel kingdom, and Jaegyu ns to buy grain inrge quantities from there to make a profit? That''s right. Most of the funds that the president has supported have been used for this work, and we need more support. Hmm..... Chairman Choi Chun-sik looks at this business from a cool perspective. He calcted in his head for a moment, then asked him. Isn''t this enough? If a war broke out, would you still be able to profit enough? I dont know why they would increase the risk by investing additional money. A risk that must be considered by him as a businessman. It was not a sensible decision to inject additional funds into a still hypothetical, albeit highly probable, war. It is a situation where the risk only increasespared to the expected profit. Chairman, this isnt just for profit on the price of grain. what? Please read the future business n written on thest page of the report. Chairman Choi Chun-sik turned over thest page at the words of the attendant''s secretary who begged in a strong tone. He nced over the contents of the report with squinted eyes and started tapping the calctor in his head. In exchange forplying with the request of the Duke of Bergen, the next powerful person in the Maroon Kingdom, you will have exclusive authority in the Maroon Kingdom... Not simply buying grain to gain market profits, but bing the real power of a kingdom. A situation in which a lot of interests were promised in collusion with. If all of these nse true, not just hypotheses... We need to monopolize the grain market and go to the level where we can control the quantity, rather than simply buying a lot of grain. Otherwise, the deal with the duke will be in vain, Chairman. An executive secretary who can be felt even earnestly. At those words, Chairman Choi Chun-sik stared at him quietly. They work hand in hand with a powerful person to achieve what he wants, and in return, they get a lot of benefits. Huh..... Chairman Choi Chun-sikughed involuntarily. Isn''t this what you see in real life? He said sharply, thinking of his youngest son who was experiencing things in the game that he and the presidents ofrge corporations would have experienced at least once in the past. 50 billion. yes? Look at solving it with 50 billion. Absolutely no more than that! thank you! President! thank you! The attendant secretary shouted thank you over and over, banging her head on the floor as if the funds were more than she could have imagined. Chairman Choi Chun-sik shouted to him as if to warn him. You said it was a business, so lets look at it that way. I''m not paying pennies for some kid''s game, so you''d think it''d be worth it. Trust me, President! I will make it a sess! Chairman Choi Chun-sik waved his hand at the words of the apanying secretary and issued a congrattory order. After he left, Chairman Choi Chun-sik read the report on the desk again. Keuk.... These fucking electronic guys. A world where secret drugs, deals, and conspiracies predominate, so it wouldn''t be strange to say it''s real. Chairman Choi Chun-shik''s heart began to pound as he watched his son, who was active as a merchant in it. The story of an exciting world where things that would be illegal in reality happen as if they were taken for granted amidst the boredom felt every day. Even just hearing such stories, the romance that had been thought dead was still alive in the heart of Chairman Choi Chun-shik. This is why stock prices are flying around without knowing that they are sky high. The stock price of Ajin Electronics makes me feel sick just thinking about it. Just looking at President Lee Jun-hee, whose smile never leaves his face these days, made Choi Chun-sik sick to his stomach. Even if I can''t keep up with your technological prowess, at least I''ll pick out and eat everything I can pick out from there. A virtual world created through coboration between Ajin Electronics and two of the world''s leading conglomerates. There was nowhere else the GM Group could stick a straw in that gigantic business, but Chairman Choi Chun-sik let his imagination run wild. The appearance of the top of the GM group, not the GM group, which will suck up the profits of those on the other side by putting straws in the game. However, Chairman Choi Chun-shik did not know. Contrary to his wishes, all these ns will bepletely destroyed by one person more evil than the devil, and his imagination will remain only imagination. Chapter 30 Chapter 30 The love affair is difficult (4) The Duke of Bergen dreams of a war with the Kingdom of Paquel. He got a great opportunity after the current king of Maroon Kingdom fell. Duke of Bergen, as long as you promise to destroy the Pakel Kingdom and hand over some of its territory to us, the Empire will spare no support. And if you want... The Harmel Empire. Although the reason is unknown, the courier secretly contacts him and extends his hand, saying that he wants the destruction of the Paquel kingdom. To the Duke of Bergen, they made an offer they could never refuse. As the king of the new Maroon Kingdom, you will gain the full support of the Harmel Empire. Be a king with the empire on your back. Under one person, above all people. The Duke of Bergen, who has the title of duke, could not be satisfied with this. Especially since the new king who reced the old king, who had copsed and could not do anything, was only an 8-year-old child. This kingdom needs a wise leader. A wise and skilled leader, not just an ignorant child. So, the Duke of Bergen risked everything to prepare for war. It is a war that will make the long-standing enmity, the Kingdom of Paquel, disappear into the dark side of history. So... how much grain did you stock up on? A strategy to overwhelm this war in a short time. Grain hoarding was secretly pursued in order to deplete the food supply of the Pakel Kingdom, which depended entirely on imports for most of its food due to the barren mountainous terrain. It was secretly promoted to avoid the attention of various merchants, so it was not possible to work with arge-scale guild, but the new guild made by adventurers handled the work not badly. We decided to prioritize visiting the Paquel Kingdom and the territories that had previously traded food and purchase all of the products to be produced this year. In addition, grains released in the market were bought as much as possible so that the market price did not fluctuate greatly. I don''t know right now, but if a war breaks out, Paquel Kingdom will be unable to find food even if it tries. 500,000 gold. Jaegyu was able to receive arger amount of support than he initially expected, but 500,000 gold was a very small amount of capitalpared to other giants. That''s why he tried to achieve what the Duke of Bergen wanted by concocting tricks as much as possible. hmm. It was impossible for me to buy all the grains in the market as I wanted... But, as you said, there will be a big setback in the food supply of Paquel Kingdom. Although the results were not as expected, the Duke of Bergen looked at Jegyu with a deeply impressed look at the achievements of those who dealt a fatal blow to the food supply of the Paquel Kingdom with a small amount of capital. It''s pretty good for an adventurer. It''s a method I''ve never heard of, but it''s very effective in this situation. What did you say earlier? It''s a technique called gift contract, Duke. A futures contract often used in modern economic markets. Utilizing it, he put maximum leverage and made contracts worth more than 10 million gold while traveling around various territories. Of course, this was all because it was certain that war would break out, so it was a huge risk that could be waged. Yeah.... At this rate, you have done well what I promised you. The Duke of Bergen nodded in satisfaction. Seeing him like that, Jegyu''s eyes lit up. Then... the duke and our deal... Isn''t that something to discuss after the war? Don''t worry, take good care of the grain you bought and don''t run into crap. Huge benefits promised earlier. Although he did not receive a definite answer about it, Jegyu smiled brightly at the friendly attitude of the Duke of Bergen and said, All right! I will be careful not to spill even one grain of density into the kingdom of Paquel. At those words, the Duke of Bergen made a sad face and waved his hand. Then I have another appointment, so go see it. Yes, then... Jegyu left his office with his head down. But as he left his office and walked down the hallway, he was startled when he saw someone walking in front of him. That''s...? You cane this way. A person headed for the Duke''s office, guided by an attendant. Unlike the other people who walk in and out of the duke''s house in dazzling armor or robes, the outfit looks in and frugal at first nce. But I could tell just by looking at Jaegyu. That he was a user wearing an adventurer''s gear that could be called a low-level national school uniform. Who the hell...?'' Jegyu never imagined that he would face another user at the Duke of Bergen. He was confused as he stood nkly behind a mysterious user passing by. why....?'' The fact that a newpetitor suddenly appeared made Jegyu feel unbearable anxiety. * * * Office of the Duke of Bergen. Inside, Jaeyoung and the Duke of Bergen were having a snowball fight in silence. Quickly request a duel! Count Boroken believes that you will keep the faith! Oh shut up, crazy chicken wings! You keep making a duel duel noise! Shut up! Where did you say such vulgar words! Damn it, your mouth is even more vulgar! El and Tan chattering loudly from behind. However, as if not even recognizing the two, the Duke of Bergen began to speak first with his eyes fixed on Jaeyoung. Earl Boroken sent it...? He didn''t send it. It was just an excuse to meet the duke. ...is it an excuse? The Duke of Bergen smiles strangely as if he is having fun at Jaeyoung''s words. He looked at Jaeyoung with sharp eyes as if trying to see through his intentions. So... why would a mediocre adventurer want to meet me? As a duke of a country, if you don''t want to waste my time and insult my honor, then there must be a good reason... There is ..... For the first time, embarrassment appeared on the face of the Duke of Bergen at the sudden false statement. The duke looked at Jaeyoung with an expression like what the hell is this bastard?''. Jaeyoung told him in detail about the conspiracy plotted by Count Boroken. So... as a result, Count Boroken thinks that the Duke must die in order to stop the war. That''s why they''re plotting an assassination. I see... The Duke of Bergen was silent at Jaeyoungs exnation. Looking at him who was lost in thought, Tan asked Jae-young as if he was absurd. hey! why do you talk like that In the first ce, Count Boroken was just thinking about what to do, but he said you could kill him! The main culprit who persuaded Count Boroken to kill him first, even mentioning a strange knot, whether it was Gorodius or Gordius. It was absurd from Tan''s point of view to see him shamelessly distorting the truth, iming that Count Boroken had nned it in front of the person concerned. frown Jae-young meets Tan by chance. He admired Jaeyoung''s wink without the Duke of Bergen realizing that this was all on purpose. And again, he took out a piece of ck paper from somewhere and began to scribble something in bloody ink. When you are in this way .... thoroughly distorted the truth .... Assassination .... Dog ..... As if you are learning today, you will be working hard today. Every time he did that, he felt like he was bing more and more garbage. I didn''t know Count Boroken would use such an extreme method... It''s really surprising. Originally, when people reach their limit, they can do anything. So... why are you giving me this information? The eyes of the Duke of Bergen were full of doubts. A mysterious adventurer who informs Count Boroken''s assassination n. He couldn''t think of any reason for him to tell such a story to him, whom he had met for the first time today. However, Jaeyoung gave him a bright smile and told him. Well... I think it''s better for a wise and mature leader to be king than for a child who has not yet learned thenguage to ascend the throne. Poodle Poodle. The Duke of Bergen did everything in his power to hold back the involuntary smile. However, Jaeyoung looked at his twitchy mouth and spoke in a whisper. I think the Maroon Kingdom ruled by the duke would be more ideal. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! The desire hidden in the heart of the Duke of Bergen. At Jaeyoung''s words that properly stimted that desire, the Duke of Bergen let out a heartyugh. What is your name? Unlike before, the Duke of Bergen rxed his guard and sent a favorable gaze. Jaeyoung answered his question with a smile. My name is Dex. And Jaeyoung held out his hand to the Duke of Bergen and said. I think we can have a good rtionship with the Duke in the future. * * * Jaeyoung left the office after the conversation with the Duke of Bergen. He was not unusually noisy because of the two whispering beings behind his back. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, please forgive this man''s misdeeds. Hey, what the hell are you going to do in the middle like a bat? Jae-young, who promised Count Boroken that he would assassinate the Duke of Bergen, but then revealed that Count Boroken was plotting an assassination in front of the Duke of Bergen. The actions were totally out of the ordinary, but Jaeyoung''s thinking was simple. What is it? Its a way to extract as much probability as possible. what....? lets think. A war must happen anyway. When the war intensifies and bes as chaotic as possible, there will be more chances for me to get, right? okay. Then, if you just join hands with the Duke of Bergen from the beginning... what....? Tan hesitates at Jaeyoung''s question. And as if realizing something, he said with a fuss. hey! Could you...? Not just a war with foreign powers, but even a war between internal forces. How great will the ramifications of those two wars be? The war sucks! Possibility too! Jaeyoung hummed with a satisfied smile, thinking of the confusion that would be aggravated by the resentment nted in the heart of the Duke of Bergen, whether it was cleaning up the surroundings before the war with Paquel Kingdom or purging after the victory. Heung-heung-probability is low! Wow... Really, aren''t you the reincarnation of the previous demon king? There is no such thing as real good. I was about to move on, ignoring Tan''s muttering words as if he was tired of it, but someone suddenly grabbed Jae-young from behind. Hey, wait there. Jaeyoung turned around at the sound of someone calling. A man with a strangely soft expression bowed his head and asked politely. You just came out of the mansion of the Duke of Bergen, right? If you''re not busy, can I talk to you for a minute? As if he had been watching from outside, he already knew Jaeyoung''s whereabouts and asked with a bright smile. ....no, I do not want. I don''t know what the n was, but Jae-young refused and turned around because of a not-so-wee intuition, but frowned when he found another person standing in his way. What are you doing? Those who appear to be normal users. I don''t know what it is, but Jaeyoung is starting to feel ufortable with the behavior of those who seem to be forced to change suddenly. Oh fuck. hey! let''s talk What are you being so expensive about? A man who creates a threatening atmosphere by spitting and spitting as if he were a bully. And at his attitude, Jaeyoung smiled and nodded his head. I will. Jaeyoung silently follows the two of them. The two did not know that they were taking Jaeyoung with them while creating an atmosphere of fear. What they did now is nothing more than grabbing a handful of nose hair from a lion that is still and tearing it apart. Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Cheating is difficult (5) The amount of gold that Jae-gyu spent on grain hoarding is 500,000 gold. Considering that 1 gold is currently traded at around 100,000 won, it was a situation where arge sum of 50 billion won was spent, so Jegyu had no choice but to be impatient. I will see it as a business and support it, so I have to bring results that match it, right? Father''s warning to bring results, saying that he will treat it as a business. Jaegyu was happy that his father was acknowledging his efforts, but on the other hand, he was afraid that he might mess things up again. If he loses this opportunity, perhaps Chairman Choi Chun-sik will never give him expectations again. Strictly monitor the peopleing out of the Duke of Bergens house, and if you are a user, bring them to me! That''s why any minor variable is uneptable. After learning that there was a user other than himself who was in contact with the Duke of Bergen, Jaegyu put someone near the Duke''s house. And soon after, the one they brought with them, Jegyu, sat down after confirming that he was the user of the adventurer outfit he had seen at the duke''s house earlier. You said you wanted to see me? A user who has set his character name to private and does not have a nickname above his head. If you didn''t look carefully, you could mistake him for an NPC, and he was showing a little displeasure. ...He said to bring me because there was something to check. I apologize if I offended you. Words that aren''t very sincere. Jaeyoung was taken aback by the other person''s attitude, as if it was only natural for him to leave everything aside and follow him when he asked him toe, but he asked with patience in mind. Confirmation... what do you want to confirm? Did you meet the Duke of Bergen earlier? Jaeyoung frowned at the gaze that looked at him as if he knew everything. then? What did you talk about with him? I don''t think there''s any reason why I should tell you that? ...It seems that you haven''t grasped the atmosphere yet. The two of them have no progress at all in their conversation. Jae-gyu''s assistant, who was watching the two of them, cautiously intervened. Please don''t misunderstand. We just wanted to ask the Duke of Bergen because we were curious about what kind of quests he received. is that so? But why doesnt the attitude toward me seem to be at the level of asking? The attendant stood out for his willingness to drag him away, even by force. Jaeyoung didn''t like all of this because the moment he was sitting now wasn''t his will. And Jegyu''s patience ran out at his uncooperative attitude. I don''t know what your rtionship is with the Duke of Bergen, but don''t interfere with the Duke''s preparations. If I see him messing around again... What if I see him? It will be very difficult to y this game in the future. tant intimidation. Jaeyoung''s face grew cold as he saw his determination to stop him from ying the game at all costs. I don''t know exactly why they keep them froming around the Duke of Bergen, but he was extremely wary of contacting the Duke of Bergen. Uh... talk to me for a moment... Jegyus assistant, emotionally separated from him and Jaeyoung, smiled softly and bowed in the utmost respect. sorry. Our top lord is very sensitive about this incident. I will apologize on behalf of you, so I ask for your understanding. The opposite attitudes of the two, as if they were calming and soothing. When Jaeyoung was contemting where to set the rhythm, he hinted at it. Our top is not just a normal top, it is a top made by the GM Group. yes? The GM group? Jaeyoung was also surprised to learn that the GM Group runs a guild in the game. No matter how much Arcadia is a game with great poprity, it was hard to imagine that apany created and operated a top in the game. Yes.... I can''t tell you in detail, but this time our guild is preparing something, and because of that, our corporal, or lord of the guild, is very sensitive. So by the way... He took out a pouch in his hand. It was filled with shiny gold coins. Can''t you just give up on whatever quest the Duke of Bergen gave you? I put in enough, so you won''t be disappointed at allpared to the reward you''ll get from beating the duke''s quest. An attendant secretary who tries to bribe Jae-young with money. But there was one fact he overlooked. That is, Jaeyoung is not someone who moves with money. So what. You just have to give up the quest the duke gave you, right? Jaeyoung happily nods and epts the pouch he gave him. When he received the money bag, the attendant''s assistant, who couldn''t hide a smile on his face, bowed his back and expressed his gratitude. thank you! I wish you all the best in the future! It seems like you got what you wanted. An attendant who sees Jae-young off with a satisfied smile. But he didn''t know that behind him was a demon pping its wings and smirking amusedly. * * * How are you? When the assistant secretary enters the office, Je-gyu asks for the results. The secretary reported the oue of the negotiations with Jaeyoung with a smile on his face. I took the money bag and went. I''ve decided to give up the quest the duke gave me, so I don''t think you need to worry too much. Oh yeah... I couldnt even check that bastards nickname. Arent you secretly stabbing me from behind? I will thoroughly check that part by attaching people around the duke. And personally, I think it would be difficult for him to have any effect on us, no matter what quest he received. War doesn''t just happen as a single event. Hundreds and thousands of incidents happen in a chain due to the intertwining of numerous interests and interests. That''s why he was convinced that no matter what quest he solved, it was almost impossible to prevent a war that would break out. When his assistant, who could be said to be the elite of elites who graduated from a prestigious university, spoke confidently, Jegyu also rxed slightly, as if he was relieved. If war breaks out, what would be our expected revenues? The GM Merchant Company borrowed all the funds given by Chairman Choi Chun-sik and visited all kinds of merchantpanies and territories and brought in a gift contract that was unfamiliar here. Thanks to the leverage they gathered by maximizing their capabilities, the amount they actually invested reached 10 million gold. An amount that amounts to 1 trillion won in Korean currency. It was no longer just a game because a lot of money was invested in this work. An issue that the chairman of a conglomerate called the GM Group is watching with direct interest. That''s why Jaegyu had to make this job a sess unconditionally and make a profitparable to it. It will depend on the increase in grain prices, but... as expected, we expect to gain about 8 million gold. A magic that increases the investment of 580,000 gold to 8 million gold. All of this was possible because leverage was hit with full force, but if sessful, it would be a remarkable achievement that not only Chairman Choi Chun-shik but also the entire group would pay attention to. Soon... I hope a war breaks out. The achievement called 580 billion to 800 billion. A ridiculous performance achieved with just a few connectors and a few people without any factories or facilities. In this virtual world where huge amounts of money are moving, Jaegyu smirked and let his imagination run wild. With the little devil in between, who is listening intently to their conversation. * * * Hmm.... What? Didn''t they want a war after all? I know? That''s why we need honesty between each other. If you or those guys had talked openly about what they wanted, the conversation would have ended on a warm note. I didn''t know because I wasn''t aware of it, but Tan signed a contract with Jaeyoung as a familiar. Jaeyoung, who spyed on their conversation remotely in real time through sensory sharing, a basic ability of familiars,ughed at their intentions. Jae-Young tries to get the probability by starting a war and causing maximum confusion. Je-gyu intends to exclusively purchase grain and make huge profits as a war special. What they both wanted was the same war, but there was no need to check or guard each other. Rather, it is a situation where it makes more sense to hold hands and make friends. Anyway, can I not care? They said that they were also instigated by the Duke of Bergen and were preparing hard to start a war. Reasonable Tan''s words. Everyone who heard it would nod and agree, but Jaeyoung frowned as if he didn''t like it. Wait a minute, but if a war breaks out, wouldnt that sprout from earlier be better? Through Tan, Jae-young picks up the conversation between the two in real time. Of course, I didn''t talk about the n in detail, but I heard that the profits to be made from this war were enormous, so I didn''t want to help them with their ns. What does it matter? It has nothing to do with you anyway. It''s basic human nature that your stomach hurts when your cousin buys a piece ofnd, and your internal organs get twisted when a person without a drop of blood buys a building. It was said that he was going to earn gold worth 800 billion won at market price, nothing else, but Jae-young could not stay still even after hearing that fact. Still, this isnt it. Some people work hard to get a little bit of probability, but who wants to sit down and earn 8 million gold without touching a hand? Is this a game? Jaeyoung, who shook his head vigorously as if he could never understand,pletely changed his mind. Even if he had to give up the probabilities gained through war, he couldn''t sit back and watch the damn rich boy earn money and eat. The Duke of Bergen must die. ah! That bastard is pissed again. I''m thinking of finally showing my faithful side. A bullet hitting the forehead with a thud as if it hurts. Next to him, El was sending bright eyes, as if asking when he was going to kill the Duke of Bergen. Even now, send a duel to the Duke of Bergen... L I said it before, but it can''t be like that? You have to be quiet so no one knows. Jae-Young is worried about how to understand the dueling angel. However, at Jaeyoung''s words that he would definitely assassinate him, L stretched out his wings as if he was disappointed and turned his head away as if he was pouting. joy! Then I can''t help you this time either. what....? Assassination is a cowardly act of taking the life of another unexpectedly. It''s a heinous act that doesn''t even give you time to say goodbye to your loved ones. It is uneptable for me to use heavenly power in such a way! ..... Nonsensical logic that I dont even know where to start with. Jaeyoung is seriously thinking about how that crazy angel became an archangel and whether all angels are like that. Tan whispered to Jaeyoung with a coy look. What should I borrow? what....? No... just like those chicken wings lend it, it''s possible for me to borrow the power of the Demon Realm. Jaeyoung asked as if he was absurd at the fact that the spirit god skill could be applied not only to the heavens but also to beings in the demon realm. hey! Why are you saying that now! You never even asked! Before, they only asked for skills or abilities? Ah... what should I do first. Wait a minute... thats it. Tan hurriedly stirs something and extends his hand to Jaeyoung. When we held hands, a bloody six star was drawn, and then a message came to mind. [A contract with the Pandemonium has been established.] [You can temporarily borrow the power of the Pandemonium by consuming Probability.] Unlike before, it is divided into two columns and the list of countless characters is densely listed after the contract is established. . From that list, Jaeyoung chose the right person for this job and smiled. I can do it with this guy. what? Why is it him? Ive seen it in history books before. Jae-young, who has mastered the history of Arcadia. Even in it, the existence of death that has been described in a fairlyrge amount and has tainted the entire continent of Arcadia with fear. [Legion of Death Lich Argamer.] His name was on the list. Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Lovemaking is Difficult (6) The Rich Argamer who led the Legion of Death. Having destroyed an empire and four kingdoms, he went down in history as a legendary warlock who terrorized entire continents. I can smell the ugly smell of the living. An Argamer who hates the living and praises death. Since not even the slightest life remained where he passed, he is an existence that can be said to be a typical role model for ck magicians, who is still talked about by many even now, hundreds of yearster. Didnt that lich go around killing humans so much that he even tried to intervene directly in the heavens? In the end, though, I was overpowered by the tricks of the chicken wings. Are you saying that we should just watch it when there is such an evil being running rampant? We just did our mission. Heng. You guys are always saying that you are the pope or the saint, and you intervene with humans on a daily basis. And going beyond giving an oracle to a saintess, granting divine powers to mere humans is beyond Mr. Sun! What kind of probability do you guys still have? uh? If you dig somewhere, the probability will pour out? The divine authority of the heavens bestowed upon the saintess at that time, consuming a great deal of probability and unreasonably intervening. Thanks to that, he was able to subdue the Lich whomitted all sorts of ughter, but the celestial world also had to shoulder quite a lot of burden. Heaven can do even more to stand against you ugly people. However, as long as he can feed the devils candy, Michael can pay any price with a smile. Seeing her determined expression, Tan twirled his fingers as if he couldn''t understand at all. Oh, that crazy bitch. If it''s a real devil, look at it recklessly rushing at it. It''s like, do you avoid poop because it''s dirty? Do you avoid it because it''s scary? Tan grumbled with an expression as if to say something. While the two were arguing, Jaeyoung arrived at the front gate of the mansion where the Duke of Bergen lived. stop! What kind of business is this! A dark night when everyone is already asleep. The guards, who saw a man appearing through the pitch-ck darkness where the moon did not even rise, fixed their spears and asked questions in a vignt manner, but Jae-young did not answer. He just muttered while wearing a thick hood so that no one could recognize him. Kangsin Rich Argamer. Woo woo-. What! An ominous aura suddenly spreads around Jaeyoung. The guards panicked because of the sticky intangible energy, but Jaeyoung was intent on checking the skills and abilities granted to him. [An Argamer, a being from the demon realm, dwells in the yer''s body.] [The power of the existence temporarily inhabited can be exerted.] Hmm... As expected, there are a lot of Necromancer skills. Back in the days when PC games were mainstream. The ssic game of the century that sucked the time of countless men, The Devil''. Because Jaeyoung had yed Necromancer in that game, he was able to figure out the characteristics of the skills much more quickly. hey! this bastard! Arrest right now...! The guards approached, threateningly threateningly throwing their spears. And Jaeyoung raised the sticky energy inside his body and activated the skill. Spirit Spear. Chow ah - The window of the soul that appeared in an instant. The guard pierced by the spear of the soul died in one blow. A fellow guard who saw him fall down in a gray light looked at the figure in front of him with a terrified expression. Lee Richie... Protruding cheekbones. Eyes of me nestled in the eyelids where eyes should be. And with a grayish-white skull, he was a lunatic warlock, Richie, who sold his soul to the monster hell, which anyone can see or hear about in books or legends. Non-emergency! rain....! Aaaaagh! The guard, who had been screaming loudly as if trying to wake everyone up, was instantly killed by the spear of the soul that flew in again . And Jaeyoung scratched his face as if he was in trouble. Not yet. Originally, the time when a necromancer is weakest is before summoning the undead. There was still no corpse, a necessary material for summoning the undead, so if high-level troops started to rush in right away, it was rather likely that Jae-young would die. Rise of the Dead Wood Deudeuk- Pudeuduk Pudeuk- When his skill is activated, two corpses rise up with violent movements. The two guards, who were moaning strangely with their eyes that could see only the white, had changed into ghouls that no one could see. Now...then shall we begin? A lich with burning eyes. He said, lightly pushing the closed iron door with his bony fingers. Then, the iron gate exploded with a tremendous roar as if it were about to explode. Jaeyoung, who entered the mansion of the Duke of Bergen through the door that disappeared without a trace, said in a voice that sounded like fun. Lets take a shot of Assassin Freed. * * * Late night. The Duke of Bergen, who went to bed after workingte, was awakened shortly after by a loud noise outside. What kind of fuss is this? Sitting on the bed and shouting questions. However, it was his loyal knight Pale, not the attendant, who came to the question. God Duke! You must evacuate immediately! Flee? What is that all of a sudden? At the words of the knight who rushed in and shouted, the Duke of Bergen asked as if he did not know why. Lily Rich! The lich is in the mansion now! what....? rich? Dark Sorceress. It is also an existence that a ck magician who has reached the level of Master or higher sacrifices his soul in exchange for eternal life in order to ascend to a higher level. It was hundreds of years ago even after thest discovery report, but the Duke of Bergen could not easily believe that such a rare being was in his mansion. What do you mean now? Why the hell is the lich in my mansion... Quaang! I don''t know where, but I hear a loud explosion outside. Even he, sitting on his bed not too far away, could feel the intense vibrations from the explosion. Duke! There is no time. You must move now! A skilled knight who has reached the level of Master, Fail. Seeing the fear of death hanging over his face, the Duke of Bergen hurriedly rose from his bed and tried to follow him. Kwaaang. But the bedroom door bursts before they can even open it. Seeing the gray corpse thrown along with the powerlessly broken door, the Duke of Bergen sighed with a white face. Bar Bayer... Master-ss wizard Bayer, who was a longtime friend and his reliable helper. Seeing him die a cold death, the Duke of Bergen copsed in shock. And a being slowly creeping in through the smashed bedroom entrance. Facing that presence, the eyes of the Duke of Bergen widened as if they were going to pop out. You, you... Burning red eyes. A skinny being close to a skull with protruding cheekbones. He faced the Duke of Bergen and opened his mouth with a strange smile. I found this guy. Richie talks as if he had been looking for him hard. Seeing him like that, the Duke of Bergen tried to stay as calm as possible and asked in a trembling voice. I... did you find me? then. Do you know how long I''ve been around the mansion? Whenever I asked where you were, everyone ran up with their weapons, so I thought it was some kind of Assassin Freed, not some kind of hide-and-seek game. Richie''s unknown story. The Duke of Bergen could not understand a single word of his words, but nodded as if he understood. You didn''t find me after all. So... what the hell do you want? Ask what you want. The question made Richie''s jawbone rattle. He made a grotesque expression as if he was smiling and said it as if it were natural. Isnt that too obvious? Why did you make such a loudmotion? That means... Your death. That''s what I want. You evil lich.... As long as I am here, you will never touch the Duke... Oh, its noisy. Deal with it, kids. Sword Master Fail stood by the duke with a resolute face blocking his way. He copsed to a gray light, unable to resist, surrounded by a horde of undead that stood behind the lich. Even if you mess around, youre going to Death Knight anyway, so why the hell are you doing that? The Duke of Bergen is surrounded by undead hordes. And even those undead were not normal undead. Death Knight Durahan Abomination Skull Mage, etc. The Duke of Bergen''s face turned pale when he saw the highest rank of undead gathered in one ce that appeared only in history books. Why on earth are you doing this? The Duke of Bergen could not understand at all. The highest-ranking lich that shows overwhelming strength by treating the resistance of master-ss wizards and knights like children. Unlike other liches, it was not a normal priest or pdin, but a level to the extent that even a bishop-level priest or the highest-ranking holy knight could not dare to win. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn''te up with a reason why a catastrophe-level existence appeared at the duke''s house in a kingdom and wished for its own death. But Rich answered his question as if it were a simple question. If you choose someone like that, you have to choose well. ...? The Duke of Bergen couldn''t understand the unexpected Lich''s words. Rich continued to give him additional exnations. I like war, I like being king, and I like getting a profit from it. How can I do that... A secret war n going on. The Duke of Bergen made a shocked expression at Richie''s reaction as if he knew it all. But if you want to entrust work to subordinates, you should first check your personality. Can you take those guys with no buds and do the job properly? Richie with a cold expression. However, the Duke of Bergen hurriedly continued with an expression that he really did not know. What the hell are you talking about? Who did what, like this... Noisy. Let''s finish it guys. Richie waved his hand as if he didn''t want to hear more. And as he watched the undead slowly approaching him, the Duke of Verhen intuited his death. Ah... my long-time wish is so futile... Hisst words were self-deprecating as ifmenting. That''s how the war n with the Paquel Kingdompletely copsed. With the death of the Duke of Bergen, who was a duke of one country. * * * [The Duke of Bergen has died.] [The death of the Duke of Bergen causes a major setback to the secret n.] [ 321 rted quests will be deleted.] [The title Noble yer has been obtained.] [ The sub-purpose has been achieved. Intermediatepensation is settled.] [Probability of 53000 obtained.] Messages pouring in quickly with the death of the duke. Jaeyoung''s mouth opened wide involuntarily when he saw that the enormous probability was given as a reward. Wow.... As expected, it''s generous on a different level from slime. It''s not just a matter of viges, it''s a war between kingdoms and kingdoms. And even a n about a coup d''tat aimed at the royal throne. As they were admiring the iparable amount of probability, probably because they destroyed everything at once, Tan and L also hurriedly joined Jaeyoung''s back and said a few words. and. what is the owner? The probability has increased a lot? What happened all of a sudden? I feel great power in you. Tan and L do not understand the mechanism for acquiring probability. The two of them were surprised by the sudden increase in probability, but Jaeyoung did not have time to exin in detail. burnt. Yes? Why master? Tan''s attitude became very polite, probably because he was more likely. Jaeyoung asked him. Isnt there a limit to the duration of this Spiritual Spirit? As long as it is probable, there is no specific time limit. Why is that all of a sudden? At that, Jaeyoung smiled evilly and activated the skill again. Rise of the Dead. The corpse of the Duke of Bergen and his escort wizard and knight, who had fallen in gray, rose ording to his skill . The Skull Mage, the Death Knight, and the Ghouls. And Jaeyoung looked down at the numerous undead lined up around him and outside the mansion and said with an evil smile. If you want to hit the game, you have to hit it properly. There are still many ces to smash, right? Chapter 33 Chapter 33 A small ball fired by Jaeyoung (1) A lich and a group of high-ranking undead suddenly appeared. Their attack in the middle of the night brought great confusion to the estate of the Duke of Bergen. Stop! If we are deprived of this far, we will bepletely isted! Where the hell did Duke Go go! Ughhhhhh. help me. Undead popping up from everywhere in the castle. Because they were preparing for war, the army the duke had built was quite strong, but those who could already be called heads had turned into loyal undead led by Jaeyoung, and their resistance was soon suppressed. Kids, take it easy and destroy everything. Geuuuuuu tight. bang. coogu pce. At Jaeyoung''s words, the good undead go around destroying property. The Undead, which had increased enormously while dealing with the Duke of Verhen''s army, quickly turned the Duke of Verhen''s territory into ruins. [The territory of the Duke of Bergen is in great confusion.] [The production function is reduced by 85% and the military power is reduced by 98%.] [The feared people of the territory begin to leave. ] We are all going to die! help me! I want to run away! Regardless of whether it was a guard or a knight, everyone ran away leaving their weapons behind. Looking at the scene, Jaeyoung hummed. [A phenomenal achievement. You single-handedly destroyed the territory of the Duke of Bergen.] [You have obtained the title Vicious Necromancer.] [ The secret n of the Duke of Bergen haspletely failed.] [ You have obtained a probability of 14000.] Confused. It was obviously a rich and prosperous manor with a noisy atmosphere until the afternoon, but it turned into a den of the undead overflowing with skeletons and zombies overnight. As a result, users including general NPCs could not keep their mouths shut in absurdity. What is it all of a sudden...? Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... One user who went to the general store where he stopped every day to sell japtem and saw that a group of ghouls making bizarre cries greeted him. stood Goooooooo! And the ghouls approaching him as if they were aiming for prey. He murmured as he felt death from the sharp ws wielded by the ghoul. Haha... fuck. Chew. A user who didn''t even get hit by a few hits, but instantly fell into a gray light. Seeing the gray bodies of yers on the floor, Jaeyoung eximed without feeling guilty. Rise of the Dead. Wood deuddeuk- Geu uh uh uh... The user who had logged in with a bright face until just now. He started walking down the street as a ghoul and steadily smashing things he could see around him. Hey... Is it good to be a necromancer like this? If I had known this would happen, I would have yed as a necromancer. one-man corps. If only the corpse and mana were supported, the ability to control the undead without limit. Jae-young, who personally experienced the tremendous efficiency in arge-scale war, licked his lips as if he was really sorry. How much probability has been consumed so far? Although it is a powerful power, it is not Jae-young''s own power, but borrowed power. That''s why the more he tried to overdo it, the more he could be ced in a situation where he would consume more probabilities than he had acquired by assassinating the duke. Um... Wait a minute. Let''s see... The duke was killed, the entire army was disbanded, the territory was half destroyed... no, this waspletely destroyed... considering the people who died... Tan muttered while scribbling as if calcting something. He thought about it for a while, and then he said to Jaeyoung with a twinkle in his eyes. It will be roughly 42284 probabilities. Hogang... No, customer. Tan, with a smile on his face, holds out his hands as if asking for a quick answer. Jaeyoung red at Tan and asked. You just saw me and called me Hogang. Um... did I? Haven''t you ever? Tan smiles innocently, as if saying Satan doesn''t know anything!'' with bright eyes. However, Jaeyoung shook his head firmly. no. It''s too expensive. Cut it down a bit. Tan''s expression distorted in an instant at Jae-young''s request to be shaved. He sighed and touched like a counselor dealing with the truth. No customer. Do you know what kind of onion market this is? This ce is strictly a reconnaissance system! If you use as much force as you need, you have to make the right probability. You are a good customer. You should give me a special discount. Give me a service coupon or something. Huh... I think that makes sense now... If you dont pay the price, youll only deal with Cheon-gye from now on? ...40,000! 35000. 39990. 36000. 39980...? ...Are you calling that a negotiation? Shot down the price by what 10 units. Seeing this, Jaeyoung said sternly, not being ridiculous. 36500. I will never give you more than that. Turn it off... Ah! okay. 36500! Do it. At that, Jaeyoung and Tan held hands. Then, the sticky power of darkness quickly escaped from the body. At the same time, as if it had never happened, Jaeyoung''s body, which was left with nothing but a skeleton, began to return to its normal human form, and many of the undead instantly returned to normal corpses and skeletons. [Skill skill has ended.] [ounting for the duration and yer''s actions begins.] [Probability 36500 consumed.] [Negotiation with the devil has been sessfullypleted.] [Transcendent achievement. Became the first human race to devour the Demon King.] [The title Demon King has also been acquired.] [ Negotiation skill proficiency increases significantly.] [Negotiation skill increases to 7 ranks.] ...This is it. what is it? I don''t know how great this is that the negotiation skill, which used to be F rank, rises vertically to rank 7 and is even given a special title, but it must have been a great thing when I looked at it objectively. Ah-oh! If that''s the case, it''s totally worth it! This is the only thing you get after all this fuss? Tan keeps grumbling as if he is very unsatisfied with the deal. Jaeyoung looked around and pretended not to hear what Tan kept grumbling about. First of all... I think things are going to get very noisy from now on, so Im going to take a quiet dive. What are you talking about? Im going to be away for a while, so take care of yourself and stay calm. Says the connection is closed. El tilted his head, but Tan waved his hand as if he was used to it. okay. I''ve said it before, but without you, we can''t do anything? log out. Jae-young turns translucent with the starter word for ending the connection. Thest scenery he saw before he disconnected was the estate of the Duke of Bergen, whose surroundings hadpletely turned into ruins. * * * Arge-scale air raid by the undead urred in the territory of the Duke of Bergen. And as a result, rumors about the thoroughly destroyed territory quickly spread to users through Arfandia. -trot. Destroyed by the undead in the territory of the Duke of Bergen in the Maroon Kingdom. - A necromancer whomanded the undead. A blitz analysis of his identity! - Appearance of special monsters for another main scenario? Provocative news articles thate up quickly as ifpeting soon after. The reaction of people who saw these articles was absurd itself. -what? Are you starting again? -The beginners'' vige was also destroyed, and the developers seem to have heard something interesting. - Fuck this!!!! Do a little bit!!!!!! dead again!!!!! -Wow... I''m dead too, but the undead are really strong, right? Totally out of bnce. - But what really happened? A special monster for a real event? People who admire the insane management skills of a gamepany that gets rid of the vige when they are bored to the extreme of users who identally died while in the estate of the Duke of Verhen. And while the reactions of people expecting arge-scale event were mixed together, the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were again on fire. What is this situation! Why was the estate of the Duke of Bergen destroyed again! bang. A conference room where team leaders and department heads from all departments are gathered together. Inside, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han let out a roar, unable to hold back his anger. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn''t understand how long it had been since the novice vige was gone and that something like this would happen again. I looked at the data log... 6 hours ago in real time, around 1:00 am, an intruder broke into the home of the Duke of Bergen. intruder? yes. So we checked it out... and something is wrong. Seeing the face of the head of the data analysis team looking confused, executive director Kwon Myung-han hurriedly identified the culprit behind all these incidents written in the report. Then, he asked with a simr expression to the team leader. Legion of Death Lich Argamer...? What kind of dog is this again! Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who was flipping through the reports while fluttering, jumped up from his seat and shouted, as if he couldn''t hold back his anger. This is a monster that existed in the setting hundreds of years ago! Have we ever developed a guy like this? Why the hell are monsters that we don''t even knowe out and y around like this! That''s also us... The settings that were hidden in the alreadypleted game that they had never made. Because of the idents that urred due to those settings, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was gradually losing hisposure. Superficially or in terms of the operatingpany, they are merely subcontractors of the original developer. It wasn''t all their intention, but ordinary users who didn''t know that were swearing excitedly. -From my point of view, the developers here are sadistic perverts who just like to tease. -You guys aren''t operators, you''re just town breakers, you damn bastards. -You guys are worse than the nukes. -Are you deliberately wasting time killing users for fear ofck of content? Be honest. Arfandia''s user bulletin board is already zing hot. Seeing the overflowing with cursing at thepany and management, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han shuddered. check it! From now on, dont overlook anything rted to the Duke of Bergen, and analyze all the recorded data logs! Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who even shows determination as if dering war. He thought that this should not happen any more. A situation where users are losing trust in gamepanies. Of course, there were people who thought it was funny, but most of them reacted coldly, saying, Is this an operation?'' No one thinks of leaving work on time until theye with me with a clear reason for this. okay? Everyone in the meeting room turned pale at the promation of Kwon Geun-han to go to the end, but in the end, they had no choice but toe out without expressing any objection. * * * When Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han is running around. Somewhere on the continent of Arcadia, there were people who were interested in this matter. Heh heh.... What made youe all this way so early in the morning? An old man with a benevolent impression, dressed in pure white. He asked, looking at the beautiful girl standing in front of him with tired but dizzy eyes, probably just woken up. I saw the revtion... somewhere on the continent of Arcadia... there must have been a tremendous amount of dark energy emerging. A little girl who looks terrified. The old man''s expression changed at her words. He believed her words more seriously than anyone else. Hmm.... Wasnt there anything you could know about the ce? Even the smallest clue is fine. In response to that question, a girl holding her head frowning as if thinking about something. Then, as if squeezing out the memory, he said with difficulty. Surely... the dying man... cried out for thest time. It''s the Duke of Bergen... The girl cried as if she was having a nightmare. As if feeling the pain himself, the old man said while gently stroking the woman who was trembling with fear. It''s okay. Do not be afraid. Our glorious God has warned us through you. Everything is just an illusion... You are safe. When the old man was stroking andforting her for a short while. Someone entered cautiously and said politely to the old man and the girl. His Holiness the Pope and the holy woman, Egudiel, the Holy Knight, havee as they have been called. Egudiel, the highest ranking holy knight who was summoned by the pope from early morning. As he prostrated himself awaiting orders, the old man looked at him and said, The saintess has received a revtion. Thoroughly investigate who the Duke of Bergen is and what happened to him, and find traces of darkness. Holy Empire Saint. Like Arcadia''s staff, they began to take an interest in the work of the Duke of Bergen. Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Jae-Young''s Little Ball (2) After the game ends, Jae-Young falls into a sound sleep after a long time. After waking up after a long sleep, he began to observe the reactions of the noisy people. Um...everyone gets the situationpletely wrong. People outraged by another act of destruction. Even those who had no direct stake in this incident had not long since suffered damage from the Novice Vige Incident, so this incident was enough to explode their umted emotions. - The game quality is good, but the operation is sick. - Even if a dolphin were to run it, it would do better than this. - Do you know what three cities this game is? Why are you destroying it after making it all? -Starting today, a one-person protest will begin in front of thepany. be prepared - Can''t sue this? It''s a paid game, so is it okay? It''s not just a simple expression of dissatisfaction, but a harrowing atmosphere where protests and usations are likely to pour in. Jaejoong looked at it and was a little worried. Um...how am I supposed to make them understand this? People who think it happened for no reason because of the perverted tastes of gamepanies. But the truth is, it happened just to fuck the poor boy from the rich family. Of course, there was a secondary reason to extract the probability as much as possible. I cant properly eat candy like this. The war is already in vain. Even this alone would have made Jae-gyu foam at the mouth and copse, but Jae-young could not be satisfied with this. Didn''t they tell you to cut the radish if the man drew his sword? Jaeyoung''s pride did not allow him to retreat to this extent. How did they do it in the past... well... Jaeyoung, who has a history of destroying all guilds that used to y MMORPG games and did all sorts of unjust acts with power in the past. Therefore, his experience, which he had cultivated for many years, was telling him the most optimal way to fuck that bastard. Oh, that will do. Jaeyoung sits at theputer, snapping her fingers. He rummaged through the folders on hisputer and started looking for something while ying several videos. ....found. A secret conversation between GM Sang-ju and his assistant, which he overheard through a secretly posted bullet. Jaeyoung, who found the scene of the conversation in the recording device in the capsule, started editing with a sinister smile. Erase all the parts that I feel are rted to.... If I decorate it as much as possible... Busy mouse and keyboard. Not long after, Jaeyoung ended uppleting a video. [If a war breaks out, what would be the expected profit?] [It will depend on the increase in grain prices, but... as expected, we expect to earn about 8 million gold.] [ The video ends with a close-up of the expression of GM Sang Sang-joo, who sincerely wishes for a war to break out . I admired myself for making that video. Keuuuuuuuuuuuu.... I can be a me tube editor at this level, right? A video that appears to be a conversation between two viins plotting a truly evil plot. That impression was further doubled thanks to the addition of a correction effect to create a gloomy atmosphere as much as possible. Is this enough for people to know? Jaeyoung, who confirmed that the video was perfect, muttered as he transmitted the video to his channel. That all of this happened because of that ignorant bastard. * * * Arfandia with millions of videos updated every day. The notification that a video was updated on the channel of Destoryer, a rare con artist who became a hot topic (?) in a negative way, attracted many people''s attention. -What? Is this a new scam? - Was this bastard still ying the game? -I guess I uploaded it because I wanted to swear more. People who already show tremendous hostility even before watching the video. However, those who watched the video could not shut their mouths in shock. dark secret room. Inside, the two were having a great conversation. [If the Duke of Bergen keeps his promise, in the future, GM''spany will be able to conquer the entire continent beyond the Maroon Kingdom. ] I''m going to put this world under me, making profits dozens or hundreds of times more than this. Then my father will recognize me.] [I hope a war breaks out soon.] A confession of someone''s wish to conquer an incredibly grand and even arrogant continent. After seeing all of this, people''s reaction was nothing but confusion. -...what the hell is this? - GM top? Could that be the GM of the GM Group? -War? What are you talking about? Where is the war going? The video is overflowing with incredibly secret information even at a cursory nce. However, the description of the video was very brief. [The Duke of Bergen and those involved in the GM Merchant Chamber prepare for a war against the Paquel Kingdom.] A short but imaginative phrase. -War? Why are you suddenly at war? -Wait, profit from grain? Aren''t those bastards hoarding grain? -Come to think of it, I heard that the price of grain and weapons has risen tremendously these days..... -I heard that the Pakel Kingdom has a very difficult grain supply, but isn''t it rted to something? Information pouring in, starting with reports from users scattered across numerous territories and kingdoms. In the end, the reporters smelled it and took the bait, saying that they couldn''t stand it. - A tragedy that took ce in the Maroon Kingdom. A huge conspiracy hidden within it. -The secret story behind the kingdom of Paquel and the kingdom of Maroon. dig it up! -What is the rtionship between GM and the GM Group? Is it just a coincidence? - Unscrupulous monopoly purchase by the top of GM. War madness selling souls for money. The articles pouring out at the level of carpet bombing. As ifpeting, even spective chirashi articles were flooding the Inte. And Jae-gyu, the main character and party to all these incidents, could note to his senses at all of these sudden pours. Kwajangchang. What is this! How the hell can our conversation be like this...! A conversation that took ce in the absence of anyone. Watching the recorded video as if someone was watching their conversation in front of him, Jegyu looked at his secretary as if he was going to kill him. What the hell is this! ...I dont know either. Obviously, no one is there when we are talking... If there was no one, who would have filmed this video that is now spreading on the Inte! Death of the Duke of Bergen. The mere fact that the war had copsed was a huge blow to Jegyu and damage that could not be repaired, but the video posted on the Inte was tantamount to a death sentence for him. Boss, that''s not important right now. First of all, I have to take this video down somehow. If this happens and the GM group is involved... Wiyiing. Before he could finish his words, his cell phone vibrated violently. He checked who the caller was and looked at Jegyu with a confused expression. You are the president. The vibration that doesn''t stop even though I haven''t received it for a long time. After some time, it was automatically disconnected, but seeing the phone ringing again soon after, Jegyu muttered, feeling intuition that everything was over. Fuck.... Its really X. His face was as white as that of a corpse. * * * Myunghan Kwon, Executive Director of Arcadia Korea Branch. He was receiving a report on the circumstances of the incident from the newly established department ident Response Response Headquarters. The Duke of Bergen was preparing for a coup, and for this he joined hands with a ce called GM Corporation and bought grain indefinitely. And to win the war and get the support of the Harmel Empire to ascend the throne... ..... Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was speechless as he looked at the reports piled up on his incredibly thick desk. Expected damage and rted scenarios when war breaks out. Looking at these things, I felt ashamed of the fact that I had not known these signs until now. Heh heh.... Should I rather say it''s fortunate that the Duke of Bergen died? Massive content called war. Maybe users would be enthusiastic about it, but not now. Users who are still too weak to move as a main axis anywhere. They need at least two more years to actively participate in the war, but if a war broke out right now, most users would probably not know how to do anything other than die. It seems like you helped us this time. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han was furious at the fact that the Duke of Bergen had died and most of the territory had been destroyed. However, it was a cheap deal, given that the entire two kingdoms would have been engulfed in war had it not happened. I agree with that, Mr. However, I have never been able to figure out exactly where and how the lich appeared. ...Is Alice not cooperating again? Yes.... Most of the information needed for this job is provided, but I refuse to read it due tock of ess to that rich. I see... Ill understand that first. This is not surprising since it has happened so often. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, far from being angry at the fact, rather calmly nodded and epted the situation. He had already been fed up with the way she left out important information. Rather than that... is the ce called the GM upper level correct? ah! Yes that''s right. As a result of checking the user information provided by Ellis, it was confirmed that the youngest son of Choi Chun-shik, the chairman of GM Group, is the owner of the top group of GM. A document containing the user''s personal information. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who received the document, read it thoroughly and grinded his teeth. Are these crazy... They exclusively bought grain worth 10 million gold for this war? To be precise, it was a situation where 580,000 gold was invested, but it seems that the transaction size was inted by applying leverage. What is the current price per gold? It is being traded between 90,000 and 100,000 won per 1 gold. Then, only the actual amount invested is 58 billion won? Considering the leverage... Huh... Even if these bastards go crazy, they''re really crazy. 1 trillion won. It was great that he executed a transaction worth 1 trillion won in the game, but it was even more amazing that he almost seeded. If the war had happened, I could have really made 800 billion by sitting down. Sir, I dont think this issue should be overlooked. If it is possible to use funds outside the game to shake the situation in the game in this way, there will definitely be others who abuse it. I know too. But what can I do? The headquarters says never to sanction cash transactions. virtual currency. However, thepany could not directly sanction these transactions between individuals, even because of the strong will of the head office to make it possible to exchange and trade freely with recognition of equal status with real money. But... Dont worry. From now on, when suchrge-scale gold purchases or sales are detected, a system that can be intensively monitored is applied. And if this happens, then we will know in advance. ....All right. Oh and. After the story was over, he summoned the head of the ident Response Headquarters, who was about to leave, and said, Disclose all the circumstances of this case to the users. yes....? This has already been approved by the boss. He said that he couldnt just stand by and watch those damned conglomerates use their capital to make money and ruin the game. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han smiled as if he liked one of them. he said in a firm voice. It will set an example for otherpanies. You can get fucked if you do nonsense here. If that happens, the GM Group will definitely sue. No matter how true it is, these people will go ahead and file aint against defamation. However, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han sneered and said, Yes, sue. yes....? Who is more at a loss by procrastinating on this issue? Well, if they want to get people''s attention and get more insults, I''ll sue them. Anyway, thepany''s legal team will take care of it, so we don''t have to worry about it. ..... Executive Director Myung-Han Kwons smile makes you feel mad. He said, shing his life-filled eyes. They''re the ones who tried to fuck us up, so there''s no need for me to care about them, right? An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Seeing Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon personally practicing the Code of Hammurabi, the head of the ident Response Headquarters shuddered with an unknown chill. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Jaeyoung''s little ball (3) Jaeyoung''s little ball. This little ball swelled out of control and became a giant nuclear bomb. Hey, thats a broadcasting station. ah! Let''s not push that! Are you here just to cover that? This reporter! this reporter! Where the hell have you been? Arcadia''s official press conference. This is the first ce where thispany, which has always been unresponsive despite numerous controversies, breaks its silence. That''s why the press conference room was full of reporters with numerous broadcasting cameras and microphones to the extent that not only Korean but also foreign broadcasters came to cover the event. uh! Start! Start the live broadcast! hurry! When the spokesperson of Arcadia Co., Ltd. stepped on the podium, the camera sh exploded as ifpeting. Tension began to form on the faces of the reporters who raised their hands to the keyboard as if they were going to write down every single word that came out of the spokesperson''s mouth. [We will now announce the official position of Arcadia Co., Ltd. on various allegations that have recently caused controversy on the Inte. First, let''s talk about the NPC Duke of Bergen who died in the game. The Duke of Bergen is...] The spokesperson started talking about the Duke of Bergen first. The enormous ambition of the Duke of Bergen that came out of his mouth and the detailed and detailed ns he prepared to realize it surprised reporters. What is it, the NPC in the game prepared a coup? They colluded with another country to usurp the throne... That''s a very realistic reason? If there had been a war, it would have been pretty fun. Arent there a lot of rted quests? The reporters also exchanged nces and whispered that they were interested in each other, probably because they were also yers of Arcadia. And a reporter raised his hand as if he couldn''t contain his curiosity and shouted. It must have been an event that the gamepany paid close attention to... Why did it fail? A war that destroyed the territory itself because it was not enough to kill such a major NPC while putting so much sincerity and effort into the details. No matter how much the reporters thought about it, they could not understand the intention of the gamepany. However, the spokesperson rather listened to the reporter''s question and tilted his head. [Listening to the question, it seems that there is a part that everyone misunderstands... There is no fact that thepany was involved in this case at all.] Huh? what? Reporters with confused expressions at the words of the spokesperson. When the press conference hall started to stir, the spokesperson calmed them down with a gesture before continuing. [It is true that some major quests in Arcadia were nned and developed by thepany itself. However, most of them are designed so that quests are created actively and autonomously ording to the basic settings of NPCs and the surrounding situation. And in the case of the Duke of Bergen... it was an autonomous action that resulted from a change in the environment of session to the throne.] Wait a minute! Does that mean that everything you just exined is an autonomously created quest? Does that make sense now? No matter how, how could an NPC who is artificial intelligence go so far... It came as a great shock to reporters that this enormous political conspiracy stemming from the desire for power, more human than human, was created by the voluntary actions of NPCs. [It''s a fact that we talk about every time at ourpany, but Arcadia is not just an ordinary game. Although it is virtual, we are working hard to realize a world that is like reality. I hope you don''t set that limit just because you''re an NPC.] What nonsense... What is it? So, is it really possible to do this with artificial intelligence alone? hey! Call the editor right now! I got a scoop, so empty one page tomorrow! hurry! Reporters urgently began pounding on the keyboard. Their movements began to get busy in the fact that they had a greater amount of coverage than expected, but the spokesperson''s announcement was not over yet. [Next.... I''ll talk about a recent controversial video in Arfandia. First of all, the people in the video were identified as users ying as merchants, and they received a quest from the Duke of Bergen and tried to make a big profit by purchasing grain exclusively . They pricked up their ears. The spokesperson removed his hand from the keyboard, looked at the reporters who were all looking at him, and continued. [In this process, we confirmed the direct involvement of the Korean conglomerate, GM Group, and confirmed the circumstances in which they purchased gold with arge amount of money, and even confirmed that they were trying to make huge profits in the game through this. This case is the first case in which apany directly intervened in Arcadia''s market maniption and profited from it, and the amount invested alone reached 1 trillion won...] 1 1 trillion won ? Aren''t you crazy? Arge corporation directly participated in this hoarding in the game? It is surprising that a realpany participated in the incident in the game, and I was astonished at the fact that it was not just a singlepany, but GM, a huge group that is so famous that no one in Korea knows about it, and the scale of funds far beyond imagination. [There was a difference of opinion within thepany regarding the rted issue, but we decided to disclose it in terms of public interest. In this way, it was judged that the actions of realpanies continuously encouraging discord and confusion with enormous capital can cause great damage to users, and to prevent this, a system that can track and monitor the circumstances ofrge-scale gold purchases was developed. I will arrange it.] Hyeonjil. It''s natural enough for wallet warriors to dominate the game with huge amounts of cash. But what happens when certainpanies get to the point where they exercise monopoly power in games by pouring huge amounts of money into them? What could have happened in Arcadia, the spokesperson began to speak in a serious tone. [Infinite freedom, infinite possibilities. In order to truly realize these two mottos pursued by Arcadia Co., Ltd., we believe that everyone should have an equal starting point. Therefore , I strongly warn you through this incident so that apany or a specific organization, not an individual''s ability, will not recur to incite riots in the game with enormous funds.] It contained details of a clear market disruption in which the In GM Group colluded with the Duke of Bergen to monopolize grain to gain huge profits. A serious criminal act that, if done in real life, would be regarded as a war crime and the group itself could be blown away. Although it is a game, no legal responsibility can be imposed on the GM Group, but this fact alone can bring enormous moral criticism. Reporters began to feel desperate as they imagined the aftermath of this press conference in their heads. Editor? Empty the front page of tomorrow''s newspaper right now. It''s not a jackpot, it''s an invitation. Uh, Im ready for an emergency breaking news right now. no stop everything Thises first. Yes, chief. I will write an article right now and post it. An issue that has no choice but to be a scoop. The reporters, who took the lure that was so appetizing that it was not enough to call it a delicacy, began to write articles about this incident, eaching up with the most provocative title they could think of. * * * ssroom at Seomin University. Now, the name of the department has changed to Virtual Reality Engineering Department'', former students of the Department of Computer Science and Technology gathered together and talked about the news that is bing a hot topic these days. Hey, did you guys hear that too? Does that make sense? Isn''t that the level of a game? therefore. Do you think it is possible to have an artificial intelligence with that much autonomy? Maybe Im exaggerating? If that is really possible, from now on all screenwriters will lose their jobs. An borate andplex n to usurp the throne. The fact that NPCs autonomously created a narrative on a scale so vast that it even prepared for war was not an easy matter to believe. No, so where the hell did the lich who killed the dukee from? Richie, who was never mentioned in the official announcement. The reporters at the press conference were also distracted by the pouring scoop articles and missed the part, but in the end, the identity of Richie, the main culprit who made all of this in vain, was still a mystery. therefore! It didn''t seem like a simple lich either! He was a very strong guy! I''m ying in Maroon Kingdom right now, and because of this... The ssroom was buzzing with stories about Arcadia. Jaekyun nced at Jaeyoung, who was sitting next to him, and asked cautiously. Jae Jaeyoung... Do you know what that is about? Jaekyun asked because he knew Jaeyoung didn''t y Arcadia, and he nodded and replied that he wasn''t interested. Roughly? Because of that, newspapers and news are in full swing. The news that shook the society noisily. The fact that a real conglomerate nned a war in the game and tried to make a huge profit through it caused tremendous shock and repercussions to the public. Uhm... thats right. Jae-gyun, whose mouth seems to be twitching while keeping his eyes open, seems to be having a hard time continuing the conversation. After hesitating for a long time, he was about to say something, but he had no choice but to shut up again as the professor opened the front door and entered. Did you enjoy your lunch? Professor Kim Tae-hoon enters with a slightly reminded expression. The students did not respond to his question. It was because his eyes were drawn to strangers in strange equipment and gowns following him. These people are here to give you a special experience. Did I tell you before? It will give you information about thetest technologies and trends avable for virtual reality. With those words, Professor Kim Tae-hoon guided a person in a gown to the podium with a hand gesture. While he stood back, the person standing on the podium looked around the room and said, Nice to meet you, everyone. I am Researcher Kang Pil-joon working in Arcadias R&D team. Arcadia? what? really? As soon as you introduce yourself, the ssroom bes agitated. Arcadia Co., Ltd., which is currently called a dreampany. The fact that they were working there as researchers filled the students'' eyes with curiosity and envy. You juniors, listen carefully to Professor Taehoon Kim. It''s very difficult, but you can persevere until the end and follow it well. Thanks to Professor I, I came to this ce and came to see you like this, right? This guy...dont say anything strange and quickly exin why he came today. As if they were teachers and students in the past, they had an informal and intimate conversation with each other, and Researcher Kang Pil-jun lifted a huge helmet that was ced on the podium. The reason I came today is to do a test for all of you who are nurturing your dreams in the worlds first department of virtual reality engineering. You know that virtual reality technology is directly rted to the brain, right? Directmunication between brain and machine. I nodded my head slightly because I knew to some extent about the virtual reality technology implemented through it. But not everyone has perfectly machinepatible brains. To be precise, how urately the machine recognizes and epts the electrical signals sent by the brain, and how the brain epts the signals sent by the machine. There is a lot of variation from person to person on this. An unfamiliar concept that I have never heard of. However, since it was a story directly told by practitioners about virtual reality, the students began to listen enthusiastically, even taking notes. How muchpatibility is shown in the process of exchanging signals between the brain and the machine is the most important talent for those who will be involved in virtual reality. We call that synchro rate. Through this helmet I''m holding, I can see how much your synchro rate is showing. Synchronization Rate. It was an unfamiliar concept to hear for the first time, but the eyes of the students began to shine at the fact that they would be examining this, which is the most important thing in the virtual reality industry. Researcher Kang Pil-joon pointed to a male student with a nk expression in the back row and said, hmm.... The boy in the back row over there? Me? yes. What is your name? ...My name is Jaeyoung Yoon. Yes. Jaeyoung, would you like to check the numbers first? Researcher Kang Pil-joon, who smiled brightly and held out the helmet in his hand, did not know that his choice would be the worst choice for trampling on the dreams and hopes of other students. Chapter 36 Chapter 36 What is Synchro Rate? (1) Student Jaeyoung, would you like to check the numbers first? A researcher who asks with a bright smile. In response to his question, Jaeyoung walked forward slowly with a puzzled expression on his face. Now...then put on a helmet, eatfortably and keep breathing normally. The assistant who came with him moved around busily, attaching the electrodes attached to the helmet to Jaeyoung''s face and head, and then connected theptop screen to the screen in the auditorium and said. Ready to measure. At those words, researcher Piljun Kang nodded and said with his eyes shining. Shall we check it now? How much synchro rate does Jaeyoung show? A measurement switch pressed with everyone''s attention on it. As the helmet started to work, a strange graph appeared on the monitor in the auditorium, and the number slowly began to rise. The machine starts to determine how much information the brain receives through the electrical signals sent and received from the electrodes attached to the head. Normally, if it''s over 10%, there''s no problem ying Arcadia... Huh...? Jaeyoung''s graph continues to rise explosively even though it has exceeded 10%. Seeing this, Pil-Jun stopped talking and stared nkly at the monitor with a clear expression of bewilderment on his face. 20%. 30%. 40%. Jaeyoung''s synchro rate goes up without stopping. The eyes of Pil-Jun and the assistant researcher grew as if they were about to pop out, just like the endless graph. What is this? Daejangnim! This can''t be...! Look here, Piljun. But what the hell is going on? When Jae-young''s synchro rate exceeded 50%, Professor Tae-hoon Kim hurriedly questioned the reaction of the two, who stuttered and babble with a shocked look on their faces, but the two looked like they were seeing ghosts and didn''t even look at the monitor for a second. could not remove What the hell is this? Jaeyoung asked, wondering what to do with the reaction so intense, but the two of them couldn''t hear him because they were talking with each other with serious faces. Quickly check if there is any measurement error! ....the real-time equipment detection system says it''s OK. Ha... I''m really going crazy. Now, Pil-jun is restlessly stomping his feet and staring at the soaring graph. However, Jaeyoung''s graph stopped when it reached the limit. -Measurement done. The final synchro rate of the subject is 92.89%. 92.89%..... This crazy..... As if it was an unbelievable figure, as if their souls had escaped, the two of them were looking at the final results nkly, and stood still for a long time despite Professor Kim Tae-hoons chaos, watching only the monitor. I was just looking. * * * Student Jae Jae Young. Have you ever yed Arcadia? Not yet. okay? So, have you yed any other games? Things like regrputer games. ...I''ve tried a few of them, so why do you keep asking about that? He was the only one who was excited and was constantly looking at Jaeyoung as strange at the questions he was pouring out with rapid fire, but Piljun didn''t care at all and handed him a business card. This is my business card... Later, if you''re not busy, could you stop by mypany''sb for a bit? I just want to do some tests. yes? What test? What is that... part-time job! Think of it as a simple part-time job! I''ll give you money for just a few tests! huh? In front of everyone in the ssroom, almost begging him toe to theb to do a few tests, his momentum seemed desperate enough to kidnap him if he refused. And Professor Kim Tae-hoon, who was watching him, raised his voice. What are you doing! Startle. Lion''s Roar of an impatient professor. His face flushed as if he was deeply angry at the behavior of those who had ignored his words until now, he growled and spoke to Pil-jun. Let me exin, what the hell is this synchro rate number, why are you acting in such a way that you forget your face like this? As if his reason had returned to his words, Piljun looked around the ssroom with a slightly embarrassed expression. A situation where not a single person is left out and everyone is paying attention to themselves. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he cleared his throat and opened his mouth. Kuhmm... Im sorry. I was so excited about this that I lost my mind for a while. First of all, synchro rate is a basic indicator of how smoothly and efficiently the brain can exchange information with machines. a fact known to all. Since it was exined earlier, everyone didn''t show much reaction, but everyone''s expressions changed in an instant at Piljun''s next words. I forgot to exin it earlier... Basically, as long as the synchro rate is over 10%, there is no problem enjoying Arcadia. And the average synchro rate of adults measured so far is... 14%. ....what? Then what is he? Jaeyoung is 92.89%... so how many times the average? Everyone in the auditorium couldn''t easily believe what he said because there was fresh evidence (?) Jaeyoung sitting right in front of him with an ignorant face and an absurd figure of 92%. Twenty-six percent had the best synchro rate we''ve found so far. At this level... it''s no exaggeration to say that he was born for real virtual reality. Hey student, do you really not y Arcadia? Ah, why do you keep doing that? Jae-young is starting to get annoyed with Pil-joon who keeps bothering him by calling someone who was sitting still and treating him like a zoo monkey in front of everyone. At just the right timing, Professor Kim Tae-hoon intervened. Once you know. Talk about this partter with me separately... Let''s start by examining the remaining students. Ah yes. All right. Student Jaeyoung, dont forget to contact me. Pil-joon pretends to be friendly with his eyes wide open. However, Jaeyoung didn''t respond and went back to his seat. Okay then next... uh! What is the name of the boy with his hand up there? This is Kang Tae-soo. is it so. Student Kang Tae-soo will measure it a second time. Tae-soo met Jae-young''s eyes as he walked forward. He red at Jaeyoung fiercely with eyes as if he were looking at apetitor, and then sat down on a chair on the podium. what....?'' It''s as if you''re not the only one who''s great, so don''t be conceited. However, Jae-young watched Tae-soo''s examination begin without showing anything. Okay then, lets begin. The inspection starts again and the graph appears. Unlike the first test, the graph rises at a remarkably slow speed. Tae-soo turned his head to see his graph go up and asked. But is it really this slow? As before... The graph stops before he finishes his question. And a message popped up saying that the scan wasplete. -Measurement done. The final synchro rate of the subject is 14.13%. Yes 14.13%. It''s just average. ...is it over already? sure. The results came out in front of you. Pil-joon and his assistant reacted as if it were natural. Tae-soo was rather confused by the reaction as if this was normal. There is no need to worry because the numbers are just for normal people. At this level, there is no great difficulty in using or operating virtual reality. Is Tae-soo ying Arcadia? yes. There wont be any major obstacles to ying. If it goes beyond the original 10% sync rate, it''s normal, so there''s no need to worry too much. Pil-joon takes off his equipment while waving his hands. However, Tae-soo distorted his expression, as if he didn''t like the test results that showed a ridiculous gap with Jae-young. Then what you said earlier is really... Yes? Oh, is that your friend? Sure. Although it is true that very few specimens have been tested because this technology is in its infancy, considering that the highest record so far is 26%... . I think Jaeyoung, the student, probably has the highest score in the world. At Piljun''s words, someone raised their hand and asked if they couldn''t hold back their curiosity. What''s good about that synchro rate being high? Hmm... It''s still in the research stage, so we can''t say anything definitively, but there are bigmonalities that people with high synchro rates show as a whole. A person who is capable of almost perfect synchronization with a machine that can best ept virtual reality. They show natural talent in virtual space and bring out all functions and abilities to the fullest on a level close to instinct. If you take a game as an example, he stands out by showing his ability to overwhelm everyone with tremendous physicality that is close to instinct. Strangely, this is a phenomenon that also urs in generalputer games, even if it is not virtual reality. That means... Yes. To put it simply... If your synchro rate is high, you can say you''re good at the game. At that, everyone nced at Jaejoong. Jaeyoung doesn''t y Arcadia. Since he was talking about having a natural talent for games, everyone was making strange faces at this irony. ...So that''s why?'' Jae-Young, who was heartbroken while listening to Pil-Jun''s words. He tried not to show it as much as possible, but Piljun urately pointed out his ability as if he knew all about his secret past. Monstrous situational judgment and physical genius. One person invincible. The hermit in the veil. League of Legends Unofficial World Ranking #1 Dex. His skill, which was praised and cheered by everyone, is so ridiculous that it can be said that he is ying with it beyond simply crushing pro gamers. Jae-young, who has been active as a ranker in many games, not just the game League of Legends, and has made a mark in countless incidents with great fame, but has never revealed it publicly to anyone. I hate being bothered...'' He was regretting that he hade out and dragged aggro for no reason, but Pil-joon, not knowing what Jae-young was thinking, went ahead and drove the stake. If student Jaeyoung starts Arcadia right now... maybe he doesnt know... Piljun says with a bright smile as if he is looking forward to it just by imagining it. He openly fucked Jaeyoung in front of everyone. I wonder if its just a matter of time before I can rise to the ranks. ..... Envy, curiosity, jealousy, anger, inferiorityplex. Feeling the eyes full of emotions staring at him, Jaeyoung vowed revenge in his heart. One day I will make you pay for this. Now... then whos next? ..... Um... is there any? Everyone is hesitant about the test, perhaps because of Tae-soo, who has already been humiliated with an overwhelming gap. When no one raised his hand, he asked again with an embarrassed expression, and soon began to point out one person at a time and examine them. However, theparison itself with Jaeyoung is so disastrous that it is embarrassing. Because of this, in the end, the test results were changed to a method that was secretly shown only to the parties concerned. Now...then Ive done all the tests. how is it? It was a pretty fun time, right? ..... A miserable atmosphere where everyone has an expression of chewing shit and doesnt respond in any way. Haha... then I''m done with this..... Professor Kim Tae-hun sighed as he red at the two who left the ssroom with an awkward smile, probably noticing the atmosphere. Haa.... Today''s lecture ends with this. Professor Kim Tae-hoon just wanted to let students know what synchro rate is. However, because of the ridiculous monster named Jae-young, his sublime meaning haspletely changed. Students who thought that each one was special and were swollen with dreams and hopes. The professor ended today''s lecture by trampling on the green buds by informing them of the harsh reality that there is a wall that can never be crossed. Chapter 37 Chapter 37 What is synchro rate? (2) Although the meaning has faded, students havee to know their own synchro rate. Their murmuring continued until lunchtime. Hey, what number did youe out with? me? 15%. Is it just average? Ah, Im 12%. Howe there are no people over 20%? That researcher said that. What is the highest person in the world at 26%? Since I said that much, I guess there are none among us. What is not there? There he is. While eating, they look at Jaeyoung who is sitting far away. In the eyes of these groups who nced at him, abination of emotions came to mind. Envy Envy Envy Jealousy Anger. The regret of those who learned that the synchro rate, which is the most important indicator in virtual reality, is normal, no different from other ordinary people. And the synchro rate is overwhelmingly high, and even the researcher who came out directly from Arkady is excited and interested in having an outstanding talent. In the gaze of people looking at Jaeyoung, through this ss, various emotions were mixed differently than before. Except for the one person sitting in front of Jaeyoung. Hey Jaeyoung. Isn''t today''s lunch delicious? Jae-gyun is eating his lunch with a good appetite, no different from usual. I always feel it, but his eating habits, which he pours out as if he were drinking rather than chewing, are still a subject of research. Jaeyoung thought about something for a while, then put down the spoon and asked a little seriously. You dont care much? what? About my sync rate. Everyone is whispering here and there right now. You probably have something you want to ask me too. What do you want to ask? Even after the lecture was already over, the question baptism was pouring in, albeit for a short time. As if there was a secret to his high synchro rate, Jae-gyun was different from the other motives who were inquiring into Jae-young''s daily life. He doesn''t even mention anything about the test he received earlier. Jaekyun thought for a moment at Jaeyoung''s question, then shook his head. Is there anything else? ...No? ok. I dont even understand what exactly the concept of synchro rate is, and theres no problem with me ying Arcadia anyway, and theres no particr difort in using virtual reality, so should I care? In the test, 17% showed a satisfactory grade. Unlike those who want to get ahead of others, he exhibits a really simple thought process. And you dont even y Arcadia. If you have a high synchro rate while ying a game, even if you want to ask what exactly is different, theres no way you know that? Jae-gyun has no interest in the synchro rate of anyone including himself. That''s why Jaeyoungughed when he saw Jaeyoung''s ignorant synchro rate epted without much thought. Is that so... Sure! I''m curious though. Ifter you y Arcadia, what will happen... I''m still doing it. ....what? with her daughter. Jae-gyun froze as if he had received a great shock, even dropping a spoon. Seeing Jae-gyun like that, Jae-young smiled strangely and said. It''s the first time I''m telling you, but Arcadia has been doing it for a long time. Jaekyun, who was at a loss as if he had received a confession, looked at Jaeyoung and asked in an excited voice. Really? Great! Would you like to hunt together then? I''ll go where you are! What''s your nickname? Jae-Kyun is more interested in Arcadia than Synchro Rate. As soon as he found out that Jaeyoung was ying Arcadia, he started pouring out all sorts of questions like a rapid-fire cannon. However, Jaeyoung shook his head at Jaekyun''s words. For now, hunting together seems a bit ambiguous because of the quest Im breaking right now... Ill tell youter when possible. At Jaeyoung''s words, Jaekyun asked with a sullen expression. okay? It''s a pity, but then I can''t help it.... Then, at least tell me your nickname. I''ll register you as a friend. My nickname? Um... my nickname is Dex''. Dex? okay. Jaekyun mumbles his nickname over and over again while concentrating on it as if he is going to engrave it in his head. Then, as if he suddenly realized something, he looked at Jaeyoung with wide, round eyes and asked. Dex...? Maybe that Dex? Jaekyun has been immersed inputer games since elementary school. Having spent a long time withputers while ying many online games, he knew the nickname Dex very well. A yer who sticks to only one nickname in numerous games regardless of genre, and left a mark in numerous incidents and idents in the game, leaving a ce as a legend. That''s what Dex is. One person invincible. Hermit Master. A genius hidden in a veil. Jaeyoung didn''t admit it, but Jaekyun hurriedly opened his bag and started taking out something. And what he took out was nothing but a note and arge magic marker. ...What is this? Jae-young looks at Jae-kyun with a curious look as he holds out a note and magic stick to him. However, Jaekyun looked at Jaeyoung with eyes full of envy and respect and spoke in a more serious tone than ever. Let me sign it for now. * * * Ever since Jae-young revealed that he was Dex, Jae-gyun suffered greatly. Jaeyoung let out a sigh of regret as his attitude of worshiping him as if he were a god was extremely burdensome. Haa.... Did you think you should have changed your nickname this time...? A problem that arose as a result of insisting on the same nickname because it was annoying to name it every time. Promising not to reveal his nickname to others from now on, Jaeyoung turned on hisputer and connected to Arfandia to check the number of views of the recently uploaded video. -Number of views: 83089321 Number of views approaching 80 million. The number of views, which exploded to the point where it was iparable to the previous video, had increased to the point of aiming for 100 million in a few days. Hmm... After all, the effect is different because it''s on terrestrial TV. The video is famous all over the world, with only subtitles written by someone in 23nguages. The reason for this was the GM Group, the biggest victim of this video. [Contrary to what Arcadia Co., Ltd. ims, our GM group has not directly intervened in this matter. However, we recently confirmed the circumstances in which a department within our group intervened in this matter because it judged that there was business feasibility while seeking a new business. ordingly, the headquarters also felt responsible and thoroughly conducted internal audits to ensure that this would not happen again...] I did, but I didn''t. It''s ironic, but it''s a situation that goes beyond the typical tail-cutting of the management didn''t know at all about what a few executives inside the group were preparing.'' The video revealed by Jae-young received tremendous synergy and was a topic of discussion to the extent that it was reported on foreign broadcasts beyond terrestrial broadcasting. - The GM group is really trash. -Isn''t it necessary to arrest the person involved? -The guy above is over the line. It happened in the game, what kind of arrest investigation? -But you can make money like that in the game. amazing. -I know. What the hell is the scale of the economy in the game, so what trillion units are you talking about? Numerous stories were circting, from people cursing the GM Group to people defending what was wrong with the content in the game, and out of the question, how the game had such a vast economic scale. And even in this crowd, there were those who asked the most essential questions. -But what the hell is the owner of this channel, and how did he take a video like this? -that''s right. The two didn''t seem to recognize it at all, but did you use a stealth skill? -Didn''t you see the previous video? This guy is a total crazy scammer. I only made a few mine ves. -That''s why you''re stupid. Who wouldn''t read a contract before signing it? -You should try it once, you fucking XXX XXXX. -Nedano. Grab a pickaxe and go collect minerals. As expected, like the previous video, thement window quickly bes a gutter. After taking a quick look at people''s reactions, Jaeyoung went into channel management and checked the expected revenue for this month. [Daily Life of a Destroyer] -Channel Estimated Revenue: 1,423,400 won, 14,000,000 won. It''s a huge figure that''s ridiculous to say that it''s a profit extracted from just two videos. Of course, it would be a one-time event, but it was also a proof that the ripple effect of the GM Group incident was enormous. At this rate, I dont have to worry about money anymore... Additional ie that will continue toe in from the future through the contract with Baron Mikhail. In addition, I became convinced that I would not have to worry about paying capsule installments just by thinking about the ie of the videos I would upload whenever I had a chance on the channel. If it doesn''t work, I''ll change the item with probability. He didn''t really care if all of this didn''t pay. The possibility that Jaeyoung has. Tan and L greedily chase after him, drooling, always wanting to rip off that probability. The two of them were always ready to shove an extremely rare and expensive item into his mouth at the cost of probabilities. * * * The mansion of the Duke of Bergen, which has fallen into ruins. There were so many people gathered in this ce where not even a single de of life could be found. Jae-young, who ended the game near the duke''s mansion. While he was away, guards were standing guard in a fairly wide radius around the mansion with a stern look on their faces, probably because a lot had happened while he was away. uh? master! Are you here? You are here. As if they had been waiting, Tan and L appear from somewhere and follow behind them. Seeing the two of them, Jaeyoung asked. Did anything happen while I was gone? A formal, casual greeting thrown without much thought. However, Tan cynically rejected his greetings. ...Do you want nothing special to happen after you''ve done such a great job? Do you really have no conscience? Tan looked at him with an expression as if he was saying that right now. He started chattering and telling Jaeyoung what had happened so far. After you left, a royal investigation team was dispatched to investigate the situation. And after looking at the situation roughly, even those damned priests came and made a fuss. The priests? of course! Even if you choose, you chose the necromancer that humans hate the most and used it! They also brought in the most notorious Argamer and made a fuss about it. How can these guys stay still? Rich argamer. A human who will confidently enter the TOP 10 among the worst beings recorded in history. Since he was a rtively recent being, his evil deeds were recorded in detail in the history books, and he remained the most vivid object of fear to people. Anyway... I came and left all the fuss, but don''t even think about calling him out for a while! Then, those fucking chicken wing idiots say their head hurts when their eyes roll. Dont worry, there wont be anything to call you anyway because its too probable. A bullet telling the priests not to provoke them. Jaejoong nodded his head as if agreeing with him. Then Tan muttered, showing an unfiltered expression of displeasure as if he was annoyed just thinking about it. Anyway, even just looking at the chicken wings, there is a dirty feeling that can be felt instinctively. It''s as if the root itself has been eaten... Ugh! I hate just thinking about it. Seeing Tan fiddling with his forearm as if he had grown chicken skin, L said pitifully. Isn''t that what we''re saying when we look at damn bats like you, not us, that the root itself is bad? ...Who said someone looked at someone and ate it! Shall I make it with chicken? like? Where should we try again? Dark spheres and white torches naturally raised in each hand as if they had fought several times while Jaeyoung was gone. As if the strange tension between the two was now familiar, Jaeyoung watched the fight with interest. He was unaware of the great storm his actions would bring. Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Rich Argamer (1) Holy Empire Saint. It had a country too small to be called an empire, but this ce, which solidified its position as an empire in name and reality, possessed tremendous national power. crying! I''m hurt! are you okay! I''ll fix it! heel! A huge group that even five-year-old children possess divine power. Although not all, those born in Saints possessed divine powers that were iparable to those of other nations, as if they were loved by God. That''s why no great empire historically dared to even think of conquering the Saint. Unlike other countries, each and every regr soldier in Saint was a pdin and a priest. In addition, Eden is a holynd that is revered by everyone as the ce where God stayed on the continent. The pope, the saints, the highest order of Holy Knights, and the bishop-level priests who stayed there always exercised tremendous power and authority that could be called a miracle. However, despite having such strength, Saints quietly keep their original ce even in the continent''s various disputes over interests. It was a country that could be called a model of strength. That''s why even warlike empires never bothered to pluck the nose hairs of those who always cherished peace. Just keep an eye on them and watch their behavior. Meet His Majesty the King of the Maroon Kingdom. 8-year-old Jerome, who has been crowned the new king of the Maroon Kingdom. It was the first time he had an audience with an outsider, so he was clearly nervous. I am also d to meet Glory and the Celestial Sword. I heard that the previous king was ill, so I pray that Gods protection be with you. A blessing to his father, who had fallen in senility. Jerome''s expression slightly widened as it was also given by a high-ranking holy knight of the Saint Empire. Thank you. I am always praying to God to do the same. Always keep that hope and God will answer it. After several conversations on the subject of the former king''s health. Jerome got to the point. So... what is the reason why you, the Holy Knight of the Saint Empire, came to our kingdom? Saint Empire. It is extremely rare to meet closed-minded people outside the Saint Empire who rarely engage in outside activities. In particr, the fact that Egudiel, who was a member of the knights under the directmand of the Pope and received the name of Glory and Celestial Sword, came to visit him in person meant that something big was happening. At Jerome''s words, Egudiel brought up the story with a slightly heavy expression. I heard that there was a mysterious incident in the Maroon Kingdom recently. When I brought up the word mysterious incident, Jerome immediately realized what he was talking about and nodded. The incident that happened in the estate of the Duke of Bergen. That''s right. Regarding what happened there, perhaps the Saint Empire dispatched an investigation team... We are also sending an investigation team into the duke''s death to thoroughly investigate. I salute the Maroon Kingdom for their quick action. However, based on what we have learned from the eyewitnesses'' testimony, the ck magician''s involvement is suspected... I think it''s too early to conclude that part yet. Wait for the results of the investigation team, and if there is such a bar, then I will seek the cooperation of the Saint Empire. ..... Jerome cuts it off with a firm tone like a knife, as if he had anticipated and prepared for this. Against his iron wall, Egudiel lost his words and shut his mouth. And soon after seeing through the current situation in an instant, he asked. Are you afraid? sting His question was momentary, but his expression copsed. Jerome, who clearly showed his bewilderment, asked calmly. afraid? What on earth do I have to fear? ...Although the Saint Empire does not intervene in the affairs of the private continent, it does not mean that it remains in the dark and does not know anything. I see and hear everything, just contemte and observe. Trends and intelligenceing in periodically from churches, priest pdins, and devout believers spread across the continent. And through the wisdom that the saintess sees from time to time, the Saint Empire possessed vast and vast amounts of information more than any other country. The war the Duke of Bergen was preparing for, if he had won the war, the king would probably be in a very difficult position. In addition to the weak political power that few people can say is still in the background, it is difficult to make decisions on their own at a young age. As he said that, Egudiel looked directly at a servant who continued to exchange nces with Jerome. And the minister who received his gaze bowed his head in surprise. Jerome was also clearly surprised, as if he was wondering how he knew that. It wasn''t enough to ovee all of this and protect the throne from the Duke of Bergen. Isn''t it? What a reckless statement this is! An inferior servant scolded him in a stern voice, but Egudiel continued talking without blinking an eye. By the way... coincidentally, the Duke of Bergen died under these circumstances. Preparations for war are nearing the end, and just before the horns of battle are about to sound. So, who do you think will benefit the most from this situation? That''s like that... King Jerome was extremely agitated. His eyes were full of questions about how to answer in times like these, but no one of his subjects could give him a model answer. At least in this situation where Egudiel is standing. However, the people who benefited the most are refusing to investigate the death of the Duke of Bergen... Regarding this, as the head of the Saint Empire''s investigation, I have no choice but to look at it like this. Egudiel begins to connect suspicious circumstances as if connecting a puzzle. He said to Jerome with a strange smile. The Maroon royal family used a warlock to eliminate the Duke of Bergen who was trying to usurp the throne. What do you mean by that! ck magician. The ones the Saint Empire despises the most. Those who made a contract with the existence of the demon world and borrowed its power were at least on the sidelines in other kingdoms, but when they were caught by the Saint Empire, they could literally feel the fear of the fanatics of Nopaku. A dirty warlock must be purified with fire! No, their ugly souls should starve themselves until they die so they can repent! what! Only water can save them! Those who mobilize all kinds of execution methods and purify the soul, attack first without questioning. That''s why ck magic users who y Arcadia should never meet or associate with NPCs from the Saint Empire. Oh no! We never did! Jerome, who was terrified that he would be cornered into a gang simr to the warlocks, cried out in tears, forgetting his reputation as a king. Then ept the investigation team. I will personally investigate the estate of the Duke of Bergen and confirm that the warlock and the royal family are not rted. At Egudiel''s words, Jerome and all his servants were silent. It was because he knew that if the Saint Empire refused to do so and the royal family itself was defined as a group thatmunicated with the warlock, the kingdom itself would be destroyed. * * * Warlock VS Priest. Dark Knight VS Pdin. As one of the rice cakes that often appear in Arfandia, the debate about which is better between the sex line and the evil line has been burning hotter than any other topic, heating up the bulletin board. -The pdin is the best. Recovery, tang, and dildopliance. - Dark knights can also recover. Can''t absorb stamina? It also lowers the enemy''s stamina. -Those who y warlocks are all psychos with twisted personalities. -Wee, religious worms. I hate it when people say they give buffs every day and make noises like picking at pigs. -The skill''s name is Hymn of Hymn, but what to do! this xxx -Yeah~ Don''t feel it. - This XXXX! XXXXXXX! XXXXXX!! -You can see that the guy who says he''s a priest has a bad mouth. Are you still a priest? In this debate, which always ended with Padrip and all sorts of personal attacks, they roared at their pride in their profession. Dark Swarm. Kiehehehehe. A pitch-ck fog of darkness spreads. The group of level 83 cockatrices, who were falling down screaming in agony as soon as they touched the fog, copsed in a gray light shortly after, spewing out items and gold. and. Also, ck magicians are very powerful. Wiping it all at once like this? The party members who were hunting together looked at the corpses of monsters lined up in the field with surprised eyes and muttered as if they were absurd. As expected.... Ranking #1 in the Warlock Ranking is different. A level 86 ck magician, ck me Dragon of Darkness. He said it naturally with a bored face. What. Probably everyone will do this when they level up. Then, can you mobmool again? Well... its possible because Im full of energy. But doesnt that skill have a cooldown? A wide-area skill with huge damage. Even so, everyone made a surprised look at his words to drive the mob again without a break. Hmm... Maybe by the time you drive all the mobs, the cooldown will run out, so there''s no problem. Ah yes! Then I''ll drive you back now! Hey... thats why they say that ck magic love parties take the bus. A ck magician who boasts strength enough to show a marked difference from other sses when ites to dealing. That''s why it was one of the most popr jobs preferred by many parties because it was possible to hunt morefortably than auxiliary jobs such as priests. Haam... It''s boring. Dark ck me Dragon yawning while waiting for the mobs to drive away. He licked his lips while examining the recently created quests. [Quest Ominous rumors heard in the Maroon Kingdom] The Duke of Bergen, who was a powerful ruler in the Maroon Kingdom. Rumor has it that he was brutally killed by an evil warlock. Find out if these rumors are true and find out who the warlock is. The Duke of Bergen... The Duke of Bergen is talking loudly on the Inte. The quest to confirm his death was created without any notice or foreshadowing. Arcadia''s NPCs don''t know, but general users already know that the powerful lich and the undead army are the main culprits through the video reports posted on Arfandia. But what they didn''t know was the identity of the lich. How can I find it again? I don''t know why, but a random quest that came to me. However, the ck me Dragon of Darkness did not dare to go to a ce that was already far away andplete the quest without a clue. He didn''t have time to raise his level through hunting, so he just left it in the quest window, but every time he opened the quest window, it made his nerves ufortable. I drove all the mobs! Quite a lot! be careful! The party members shouted and ran from afar as if they had driven all the mobs. The ck me Dragon, awakened from their thoughts by their voices, closed the windows that appeared in front of them and began to activate their skills. Dark Swarm. A ck me dragon that is devoted to hunting. But he wasn''t quite aware of it. The meaning of this quest, which seemed to have suddenly flown in without any meaning. [Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Emerging.] [Fulfills the conditions for creating the linked quest.] [Creates the linked quest Witch Hunt''.] [Selects the main yer. 1st ce in the ck magician ranking, ck me Dragon of Darkness.] [Assigned a linked quest.] Alice, an artificial intelligence that contemtes, analyzes, and oversees everything in Arcadia. That she chose him as the main character. Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Rich Argamer (2) The territory of the Duke of Bergen, where most of the facilities are almost destroyed and are not functioning properly. Most of the NPCs were killed by Jaeyoung''s undead army, but even those who barely survived were frightened and ran away somewhere. This ce is full of death. Egudiel looked around the ruined estate with a serious expression. He raised his holy power, frowning at the unpleasant scent of death that could not stand it. Woo woo woo- A pure white aura that rises around Egudiel. Under normal circumstances, any wastnd would have reacted to the divine power of transforming into a richnd full of vitality with the blessing of a warm god, but thend here rejected his blessing. Gripping Jijik- Divine power that gives tremendous counter-resilience and fades. Egudiel raised his eyes in amazement at thend still full of the scent of death despite the use of his power. what....? Although he wasn''t a priest specializing in blessing and purification, Egudiel was still a member of the Knights Temr under the direct control of the Pope and the highest ranked Holy Knight. Considering the divine power and authority he possessed, who received special attention from the gods, the traces of general evil () should have been easily cleansed. ...Egudiel-nim, the dark energy you feel here is unusual. I guess so. The purification spells of the priests he brought are also not responding properly. Egudiel realized that the current situation was serious as he saw the very weakly purifiednd despite pouring all his divine power into it. Um... Pdin-sama, are you having any problems? An official from the Maroon Kingdom urgently dispatched to the territory of the Duke of Bergen. Egudiel said with a slightly firm expression to him who managed the abandoned territory as a temporary measure. It seems that the ck magician who appeared here is more powerful than I thought. Has anyone seen a warlock appearing here? Uh... there is. Witnesses say... He began to read the paper he pulled out while rummaging through his belongings, as if he had recorded the witnesses'' stories. Egudiel''s eyes widened as he listened to the official''s description of the ck magician''s characteristics. Why are you like that? Seeing Egudiel with apletely different spirit than before, the official asked in bewilderment. Are you sure? Eyes burning in a skinny and diminutive body with only bones remaining. And the fact that he freely summoned the highest rank undead, including the Death Knight? Thats right. This is a testimony from an adventurer who was in the estate of the Duke of Bergen at the time. I''m sure it''s something I''ve seen firsthand. In response to the official''s confirmation, Egudiel raised his divine power again. Unlike before, I did my best. Woo woo woo. A tremendous amount of divine powerpletely covered the entire surroundings. The difference was so drastic that the holy power poured out by dozens of priests seemed like a candle in front of the sun. The investigators who saw the scene eximed with ecstatic expressions. Ahhh! Oh God! A power that would not be strange even if it were a miracle. Egudiel, who drew all of that power, spoke softly. Reveal, remnants of evil. Huh! Those things...! The official who followed the investigation team eximed in fright at the sudden sight. The pitch-ck earth. Thend was full of vengeful spirits screaming and screaming as if their feet were tied up. Ki-ah- dying and dying- huh. Why only me- The resentment, anger, and envy of the living pour out from the ghosts that have never been seen before. Overwhelmed by all these emotions, when the official was about to lose consciousness, Egudiel suppressed them all with his powerful divine power and shouted. All will be protected in God''s rest. I proim Sanctuary. Paaah. At that moment, a storm of brilliance and divinity erupted like an explosion. With his promation, countless ghosts tied to the earth faded. Souls disappearing with afortable face, whether they are purified and find rest. And thend where they disappeared returned to normal again. On the contrary, it is and rich in vitality that pulsates more than before. What the hell is this... An official of the Maroon Kingdom who cant keep his mind on the momentary change. Leaving him alone, the priests and Egudiel started talking to each other with serious expressions. Egudiel-sama, this power is definitely... Yes. This is no mere warlock. Death Field, the worst necromantic art that captures the spirits of the dead and turns them into undead. It was rare for a ck magician to be able to use this in such a wide range. If a lich could create such arge-scale death field and had a ming eye light... And those who were here could naturally deduce an existence based on the official''s testimony. No way..... Argamer, he''s back. legion of death. ar gamer. Concluding that the worst yer on the continent has returned, Egudiel looked at a priest and said, Adine, report this to the Holy See immediately. All right. Egudiel, then what should we do now? A lich known to have gone into hiding after being active hundreds of years ago. I don''t know, but since I''m a lich who lives eternal life, I must have finally started working after recovering from the damage. Egudiel looked around at the priests with a serious expression and said, From now on, our investigative team will pursue the evil lich''s whereabouts. Egudiel pulls out a knife with a cool expression. Swinging a blue-edged sword once, he said, as if he were going to condemn and punish the evil group of evil that hindered him. Find out and interrogate all suspects, and bring a righteous divine judgment to those involved. Until all remaining evil in thisnd is rooted out. At the moment when Egudiel decided to punish the evil group, a notification came to Arcadia Co., Ltd. [Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Emerging.] [The linked quest Witch Hunt'' has been created.] The terrible notification that all employees are working overtime. * * * [Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Emerging.] [The linked quest Witch Hunt'' has been created.] As soon as this notification came in, all departments of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were put on emergency alert again. Aaaaaaaaaaa! Please! What the hell is that fucking Act 1 scenario about! Uh... Honey, Im sorry, but I work overtime again... Huh? Please don''t ask me to break up with you..... Uh honey... I''m sorry..... Home Life Leisure Life Love Frontline. The Act that destroys all of this. 1 chain quest. As if they were not satisfied with the beginner vige destruction incident the other day, this scenario, which was triggered again, exceeded their expectations and overflowed. Report Manager Kang. Executive Director Han Han Kwon rmends that you start watching as soon as you sit down as if you are used to it now. At his words, Director Kang Tae-hoon nodded, got up from his seat, and started briefing on the newly updated quest. You must have been notified a little while ago, but Act. The chain quest witch hunt in 1 is rted to the recent incident in the estate of the Duke of Bergen. You mean the ce where the lord who tried to start the war was? That''s right. Everyone is well aware that the GM Group was deeply involved in the war n and tried to profit from it. At that, everyone nodded. An incident with such a big impact that it can be said that not only Arcadia employees, but most people across the country are already aware of it. However, this linked quest exploded in apletely unrted part. The linked quest created this time was created due to a lich that was directly involved in the death of the Duke of Bergen. Rich? If it''s that monster... Yes. He is the main culprit in the murder of the Duke of Bergen, whom we could not confirm due tock of ess, and he is the one who prevented this war. Beyond killing the Duke of Bergen, a mysterious existence that destroyed all the foundations he had built. Thanks to that, an unexpected war was scheduled to break out, but it was also the object of gratitude within Arcadia because it made it impossible. How exactly does that rte to this quest? What is the Saint Empire? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who was reading the report quickly while listening to the exnation, asked a question. Director Kang Tae-hun sighed at his question and continued talking. Huh... I heard rumors from the Saint Empire and dispatched an investigation team to the estate of the Duke of Bergen. Rich argamer? Did we ever make a setting like that? Is there? Its a simr situation to thest Holy Demon War! A strange past setting that pops up again. In a historical setting that goes back hundreds of years, an exmation of dissatisfaction erupted again in the conference room as data that they had never nned on their own was pouring out. So... what is the most troubling part right now? Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han calmed the meeting room full of irritation and anger with a single gesture. In response to his question, general manager Kang Tae-hun broke out in a cold sweat as if he couldn''t bear to speak. That''s it... the purpose and direction of the investigation team and the Saint Empire... What''s the direction...? The killing of all evil on the continent... Annihtion of all evil? What the hell does that mean? People tilting their heads as if they didn''t understand what that meant. However, after seeing the report, which contained the estimated damages, executive director Kwon Myeong-han asked with a bloodless face as if he couldn''t believe it. What is it? Can this be...? Myung-Han Kwon, executive director of Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s Korean branch. Even that, losing hisposure, he looked at Director Kang Tae-hun and asked. A face that wants you to tell me that your expectations were wrong. But the reality is harsh. Director Kang Tae-hoon shook his head with a very sorry expression in response. I will kill all those with evil-rted jobs..... including adventurers... Yes...? Wait a minute. If adventurers are included, that means...! Inside the conference room as if a bomb had fallen. When those who realized the meaning of Director Kang Tae-hoon''s words started pouring out one by one in fright, the meeting room suddenly became as noisy as the market floor. All quiet! bang. mming the conference room desk violently, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han stood up. Then, the conference room became quiet in an instant. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han closed his eyes for a moment, inhaled and exhaled deeply, and spoke to everyone in the conference room with a calm expression. First of all, hit the emergency notice right now. Whatever it is, users with evil upations, including warlocks, can be attacked indiscriminately, so be careful when ying. All right. There will probably be a lot ofints from dead users, but we respond well by switching to a 24-hour emergency system. As long as it''s a quest linked to the main scenario in the game anyway, there''s nothing we can do about it. Just make sure you understand. ....All right. At the words of Kwon Myeong-han, the expression of Kang Hyuk-soo, who is in charge of the customer center team, was charred. He couldn''t find an answer, even if he listened to his own heart as to how he could make him understand this. Ah... the old days were good. Even at the beginning of the opening, he had a leisurely time drinking coffee. He missed the past with a desperate heart because he could not have imagined that hispany life would be so crazy and rough. And whether he knew his feelings or not, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han spoke to the team leaders and managers of each department gathered in the conference room with a more serious expression than ever before. From now until this linked quest is over, the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. will go into emergency mode. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han''s deration to enter the emergency system. As a result, the phones of all executives and employees working in the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were in an uproar as they canceled their appointments made in advance. Cursing the person who made this situation desperately. Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Witch Hunt (1) Arcadia, the first virtual reality game. Derived from top-secret projects called Six Sense and Phenopsis Dream, this technology quickly captivated many people. An endless unknown world. Hidden quests and dungeons. Powerful monsters and items. Many elements in Arcadia stimted people''s interest and adventurous spirit, but the biggest reason was separate. A world where the fist is stronger than thew. A world where power is more important than anything else. A strict herbal diet. Thewless world. Truly a tough but free world, devoid of modernws and morality. In pursuit of growth and strength and fiercepetition with others, Arcadia seduced people by stimting the basic instinct inherent in all humans. You''re a thief too! Ah, I cant hunt in the graveyard of the battlefield because of the PK criminals! Oh yea! It looked like a small rep, but the dropping items are high-end? oh my god! Can anyone help me clear the assassination quest? They say looting is allowed. Hey, I got the route through which the top of the file will pass. Are you going to attack me? A world with literally infinite degrees of freedom where you can enjoy the game in any way, respecting any choice, good or evil. Here, people were enjoying the game itself, doing many evil things that they couldn''t do in reality without hesitation. And those who enjoyed the game with a good inclination did not look at these people with a kind eye. uh....? hey! You are the one who killed me at the hunting ground the other day and stole my items! A priest user who was wandering around the vige identally saw a user walking from a distance and hurriedly ran and grabbed him and shouted. Give me my item! Do you know how stressed out I am because of you? item? what item? The ruins of the gargoyles the other day! You''re the one who killed me there! Seasoned whole chicken, do you think I can''t remember your nickname? A priest who clearly remembers the nickname that killed him then. At his confident words, the user with the nickname of Seasoned Whole Chicken spoke with apletely changed attitude, as if he hadn''t shied away from it. Ah... are you the one who spit out that high-end itemst time? The murderer opened his eyes wide and nodded as if he had just remembered. But he said with a mean smile. Have you already sold that? What what? At that time, did you earn about 1 million won? Anyway, thank you. This... you damned bastard! How did I get that! The priest user cried and cried as if he couldn''t stand the anger at the fact that he had already disposed of the item. A strange situation where the perpetrator, the murderer, is more rxed than the victim. When there was amotion in the town square, a guard NPC came up to them and asked. What''s up? Mr. guard! here''s this guy! He is the killer who killed me and stole my items! A priest shouting in a loud voice as if exposing his crime. But at his words, the guard took one look at the killer and then blinked. Um... that must have happened to someone with a bad nature. Right! This person is absolutely evil! So... But ording to Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Continental Law, what happened outside the vige is outside our jurisdiction. yes....? The priest stood there with a shocked face as if he did not understand the guard''s sullen reaction. Then the murderer cleared his ears and replied as if he was annoyed. If you don''tmit PK in front of the vige or the guards, you''re saying it''s not a crime. In other words, it is true that I killed you, but since I killed you outside the vige, telling the guards is useless. Where is that! yer killing (PK). Killing other users or NPCs in the game is one of the contents that users actively enjoy in Arcadia. Of course, there are cases where NPCs or other users are killed for unavoidable reasons due to quests, but most of them were just for fun. Well... dont take it too emotionally. I just needed the money and I killed you because you were one of the more formidable prey. From now on, don''t wander around high-level hunting grounds alone. The killer winks andforts him by saying it''s just business. The priest couldn''t contain his anger and shouted at his salting. hey! You bastard! Are you even human! A situation where there is nothing you can do except pour out curse words in spite of evil. Hearing the priest''s words, the killer replied with a mocking smile and left. If you twist it, you can PK it too. ..... A priest user left alone. Despite being robbed of items, he was frustrated when he realized the quite hardcore reality that there was no ce toin or help him. and promised Let''s see... Pudeudeuk. Because Ive raised my level so much and be so strong that one day Ill give away more than just the items you stole. Although his profession is a priest, he is a user who was born with multiple incarnations. He engraved the nickname seasoned whole chicken'' in his heart and ran to the hunting ground. For the moment of revenge that will be achieved someday. * * * Arcadia is the perfect game. No, Arcadia is a perfect world. And Arcadia Co., Ltd. nned, developed, and applied numerous settings and contents to realize this perfect world as a game. How did the y settings of the good and evil yers we designed go? First of all, Zen-oriented users basically easily build friendships with NPCs and have easy ess to major quests. There are also great advantages in situations such asmodity trading, negotiations, or information gathering. On the other hand, NPCs with evil tendencies are basically hostile and wary, making it difficult to ess many contents. In addition, when you die, the death penalty is increased, such as dropping items with certainty. Users who y stable y tend to be good. Users who walk a tightrope aiming for a quick fortune have an evil tendency. Because of the y style that is clearly different ording to each user''s inclination, even though there are many penalties, there are more people who walk the path of viins than expected. What about the bad deeds in the vige? First of all, ording to the Continental Act, NPCs involvement in the evil deeds of users is limited to cases of active offenders, and private retaliation by users is also prohibited in the vige. If you don''t get caught, you''re good.... That''s what I mean. To put it simply, yes. The system development team is looking around to see if there are any holes in the game system that have been set up that could cause problems. But fortunately, I sighed after confirming that someone had foreseen this situation and that precautions had been prepared in advance. Phew.... Thanks to the setting of that continental corporation, there will still be no cases of evil users being attacked even in the vige. No matter how bad a guy is, shouldn''t he y the game? I don''t know if it''s outside the vige, but the inside of the vige should have been designated as a peace zone, so the staff of the system development team who confirmed this were able to ease their worries a little. While monitoring Arfandia in real time, report any unusual issues immediately. Problematic settings need to be updated and supplemented immediately. All right. A situation in which everyone moves busily while maintaining an emergency posture. However, despite their desperate efforts, a huge storm that had already begun to sprout was slowly approaching to sweep Arcadia. * * * Holy Empire Saint. The heart of this chosen empire, said to be blessed and loved by the gods. There was a report that came urgently to Eden, the holynd located there. Hmm... It looks like that cruel Lich Argamer has resurrected? That''s right. An aura of death so strong that it cannot be cleansed even if dozens of high-level priests pour in their holy power. And considering the outward appearance and ability of the warlocks witnessed in the estate of the Duke of Bergen, such a possibility seems high. The Pope, if the darkness I saw... If the saintess sees it with her wisdom, it is likely to be so. It seems that it is not just a simple existence of darkness, but a huge evil that can encroach on the entire continent has resurrected. Pope Amen of the Holy Empire, wearing pure white robes. He looked at the saintess with a worried expression on her face and said with a soft smile. Don''t worry too much, Lady. Our gods and beings in the high heavens will not stand by as these evil beings roam the continent. The saintess'' face softened a little thanks to his strong constion, which was soft but firm in his trust. And she responded with a bright smile on her face. ....sure. I will also pray to God to defeat the wicked evil. ha ha ha. sure. God is always listening to the saintess'' prayers. A young woman who is still young. Amen eased her mind and looked down at the priest prostrated in front of him. We have brought about peace on the continent, but the world is still full of lingering evil forces. His voice was full of coldness when he spoke to the saintess. In a tone full of contempt, he began to rebuke the ugly nature of humans and the evil that resulted from them. So many humans have shed blood in the past, but the continent is still full of people who voluntarily walk down the ugly path of evil instead of reflecting on it. The smell of that filthy evil stings my nose every day. I have no face. The church''s pdins and priests always do their best to judge the wicked and make them walk the path of atonement and repentance, but it''s still not enough. Holy Land Eden of St. Empire. Bishop-level priests and the highest-ranking holy knights resided there. Pope Amen looked around at them all and continued the story. Until now, we have been patiently waiting for stupid people to realize and repent for themselves, but in the end, these evil groups have started to disturb the continent again. My dear brothers and sisters. Yes, His Holiness the Pope. The highest-ranking priests and holy knights all bowed down to his words. After a moment of waiting, Pope Amen dered with a cold, dispassionate look. The time hase, the moment when we muste forward and condemn and judge all these evils before the evil forces of evil devour the entire continent. war against evil. Then he unfolded a piece of parchment in front of him, wrote something with a white quill pen, and pressed down the seal he was wearing on his finger. Preach to all kingdoms and empires. I proim with the authority vested in me, the Pope of the Holy Empire. St. Empire, which is called a typical example of strength. Everyone, do everything in your power to cooperate in finding out and judging all the evil that exists on this earth. They started not hiding their power. Chapter 41 Chapter 41: Witch Hunt (2) Everyone, do everything in your power to cooperate in finding out and judging all the evil that exists in thisnd. A powerful authority bestowed upon the pope of the Saint Empire. divine decree. At the same time as this authority was activated, the arithmetic circuit of Alice, an artificial intelligence system, began to operate busily. [The pope''s holy decree is activated.] [Contradiction urs.] [Analysis of priorities....Emergency measures are activated.] [Continentalw is temporarily nullified.] Love and love from gamepanies, even though they are wicked and criminals, are guaranteed safety within the vige. System settings full of consideration. However, Pope Amen of the Holy Empire cruelly threw that love and consideration into the gutter. [All conditions required to activate the linked quest are fulfilled.] [The linked quest Witch Hunt'' begins.] And Alice gave all users one quest at the same time. A quest to be the nucleus of a huge storm that will cause great wounds and damage. * * * Hey, arent you going to buy an item? The ck magician ck me Dragon of Darkness returned from hunting. He tried to sell the japtem he got from hunting at the general store, but he was annoyed by the store owner standing still, sweating as if embarrassed. Yes....? Ah... Wait a minute. Do some calctions first. Oh, what are you counting? Usually, he just gave me the money right away. Ah... I have a headache today. Please wait a moment... The shop owner strangely continues to drag out his time. It looked strange as if waiting for something, but the ck me Dragon of Darkness still didn''t know what was going on. [Main Scenario Act. 1 The forgotten darkness link quest has started.] [The link quest Witch Hunt'' has started.] Huh? Linked quest? At the sudden announcement of the start of the quest, the ck me Dragon of Darkness raised its eyes wide. Not a simple quest, but a quest linked to the main scenario. Knowing what this meant, he hurriedly checked the contents of the quest and shouted in surprise. What is this? [Linked Quest Witch Hunt] An evil lich argamer who dyed the continent in darkness in the past. Traces of his resurrection have been found again. As a result, everyone on the continent is working together to bring justice to the remnants of evil. Fight against it or help. [Victory Conditions] Holy camp -Judgement of the wicked (0/50000000) -Exterminate the rich argamer (0/1) Evil camp -???? -???????? < You belong to the evil faction. > A quest that suddenly came to me. It was also a problem that the victory condition was not written, but the ck me dragon of darkness was shocked to see the victory condition of the opposite camp, the castle camp. How much is that? 50 million? The victory condition is to judge no less than 50 million wicked people. This was a huge number that could be said to be the majority of the poption of Korea. No, out of the blue, what kind of quest is this? No matter how much it was, I started to hear a loud sound from outside the store at the time when I was extremely embarrassed by the quest that flew in unexpectedly. Quaang. Those who entered the store kicking hard. It was none other than the guards, who were everywhere and nowhere in charge of the security of the vige. Hey there you! Me? A group of guards approaching fiercely with great vignce. The ck me Dragon of Darkness wondered at their unfamiliar reaction and asked. Yes you! Where is the evil warlock roaming the town! What is that...? Just now, the Holy Father, the Holy Father, made a promation to all continents. Catch all the evil hordes! That is, I will judge all the hordes of evil warlocks like you! what are you doing! Catch me right now! This crazy ..... The guards approached slowly while aiming their spears in an extremely aggressive posture. The ck me Dragon of Darkness, who had been walking backwards to avoid them, found the store owner who had disappeared somewhere and realized the reason for his strange behavior earlier. How the hell is things going...? Although the situation was not fully grasped, it was natural to be caught by the guards and go through all sorts of hardships. The ck me Dragon of Darkness hesitated for a moment before activating the skill. Dark Swarm. The strongest wide-area skill he possesses. Faaaaaaat - At the same time, a ck fog filled the shop. The guards screamed in agony in the ck fog. Aagh! This evil warlock is finally showing his true colors! Evil groups like you will not find rest even in death! The guards copse in gray, pouring out all sorts of curses and curses. Fortunately, the level of the guards wasn''t high, so they couldn''tpete with the ck me Dragon of Darkness, who is said to be the strongest among ck magicians. [The guard of Guil Vige was killed.] [All NPCs in Guil Vige are hostile to the yer.] [Other guards pursue the yer.] [Penalty is increased upon death. Be mindful of your y.] Haa.... This is a headache. An unwritten rule among users whomit all kinds of evil. It was that even if all other NPCs were fine, the guards should not be touched. -Never kill the guards. The more you kill them, the stronger they chase after you. -In addition, even in the vige, the guards are looking for them like catching mice, so you can never set foot in that vige again. -If you kill a guard and get caught, you get a heavy punishment and a huge penalty. Equipped items are also confiscated and the detention period is only 30 days. If you kill a guard and get caught, you will be sentenced to one month in prison with confiscation of equipped items. Because the penalty was literally received in the special edition tinum version, no matter how evil the users were, they didn''t touch the guards. However, due to the situation, the ck me Dragon of Darkness annihted not one, but all five guards. For now... lets run away. situation that has already happened. Anticipating that he would not be able to see anything better if he wandered around here, the ck me Dragon of Darkness put on a hood and sneaked out of the store. Dark me Dragon didn''t know, but he was very lucky. * * * Arpendia where all situations in Arcadia are uploaded in real time. Strange articles began to appear on the bulletin board there. -You guys, the guards are strange. All of a sudden, kids are killing users. -Not just the guards. In the vige where I am, the priests who love sexual organs from the church are roaming around and attacking users? -?? what? Did the NPCs suck drugs as a group? Numerous questions from users who don''t know the situation yet. Those who could not connect were confused by the fragmentary informationing up, but soon numerous stories of experiences began to pour in. -Evil propensity users, do not ess the game now. If youe in now, look for it. -Ah what is it? The first pdin NPC I''ve ever seen suddenly kills me. Fallen beings are said to follow? -How can humanity be so corrupted that it kills you the first time you see it? -Well... I did steal a lot in the game. But does that kill you too? From ck magicians, dark knights, thieves, and other jobs with evil tendencies to normal jobs that have umted even a little bit of evil. All of the NPCs turned hostile and started attacking. And this situation only got worse as time went on. Receive Heavenly Judgment! Holy Smite! Quaaaaaagh! [The wicked were judged righteously for the first time.] [The Holy Church values your feat.] [Faith has risen by 1.] [After the judgment on the wicked is over, you can receive special rewards ording to your contribution. .] What is it...? A town that is obviously neutral and peaceful for everyone. Despite killing other users in the vige, there was no restraint. Rather, it was the vigers who spared no praise for him. thank you! Holy Knight! Ah... after all, God always sends messengers for us. mister! thank you! Even childrene to them, give flowers, and shout out their thanks over and over again. Seeing this, the users of the holy faction realized that this moment was the time to take revenge on those who had done evil and showed extreme shamelessness in the neutral vige. The time of judgment hase! These damn PK criminals! Where did the bastard who just ran after hitting my prey go! Disposal! Punishment! Referee! Referee! Let''s change jobs to high priest now! You damn warlocks! All kinds of bad manners that sexual users have suffered so far. However, because of the reputation they have built up so far, there are many restrictions on their actions, so they have not been able to behave recklessly. However, the shackles that were bound by this linked quest were released and they started to run wild like unbridled colts. I found a thief over there! Ughhhh! I''m a rogue who changed jobs yesterday. Help me! Beginner users who have just finished changing jobs. Those who hadn''t even done anything that could be called evil yet ran away in fright when they saw those running with hideous maces and staffs. There is no forgiveness for those who want to walk the path of the wicked! Holy Bind! Quek. A bondage spell thrown by someone. The novice rogue who was properly hit by the spell copsed on the floor, and a group of priests and pdins slowly walked towards him while letting out a sinisterugh. Oh don''te! If you touch even one hair, I will report it to customer service! Cheuk... Reporting? They exchanged nces with each other andughed loudly, as if they were looking at a cute angtal. Lets report it somewhere. Didn''t you see the quest? You are telling the users of the castle camp to bring down the judgment of God on the wicked. The gamepany is urging you to do it, but do you think they will listen to yourint? That''s like that... Tears welled up in his eyes as he was shaken as if he was shocked, but those who caught him didn''t take it easy. Now...then you must be ready to die now, right? A rookie rogue who just started ying the game yesterday and happily entered the world of adventure. In thest moment before dying, the cruel pdin''sst words came to him like a whisper. If you twist it, you will be a pdin too. * * * [The linked quest Witch Hunt'' has been created.] [You have been designated as one of the main yers in the quest.] [ Choose one of the castle camps and the evil camps and y the appropriate role.] .... What else is this? A message suddenly popped up in front of Jaeyoung, who was heading somewhere after leaving the estate of the Duke of Bergen. He read the contents of the quest and lost his words in absurdity. what? ar gamer? Why is this name suddenly appearing here? Jae-young intuition that something huge is happening that he doesn''t know about. Tan behind him frowned and shouted at Jaeyoung as if he was annoying. Haa... I''m so fucking pissed off again... Ah, that''s why I told you to do it in moderation! ...what do you do in moderation? Jaeyoung is confused because he doesn''t know the Englishnguage. However, Tan scratched his head and vomited out his resentment. Ah-oh! Those goddamn chicken wing idiots get really tired when their eyes roll. hey! L! Can''t you mediate a little bit? ...Heng. why me? ah! It''s not like we did anything weird. The owner just used our power, so do we have to go this far? Um... yes. Should I? Are you nning to watch your family get wiped out? hey! Do you think we can just watch it? What if I cant see you? intervene? So will we intervene? kid.... hey! Unlike L who couldn''t hold back his smile as if he was in a good mood, Jaeyoung heard everything from Tan who was restless and flustered. He finally came to a realization when he saw Michael who was excited and even hummed. An angel who sincerely likes and enjoys even at this moment when a one-sided massacre is taking ce. A demon bent over and sweating profusely to try to save his people somehow. The big realization that maybe angels are truly worse than demons. Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Witch Hunt (3) Michael and Satan. Beings with the prestige of being the lords of the heavens and demons that no one dares to ignore. However, the appearance of these two arguing in front of Jaeyoung was no different from elementary school students fighting. hey! It''s this chicken chick! Are you still an angel? Ebebeb. I can not hear you. Ha.... Really, that crazy bitch. ckmail Begging Begging Negotiation. Tan literally tried everything to convince Michael, but she didn''t blink an eye. All of this is causal. How many people have died because of that lich in the past? The mistake of that time is to be solved now, so why am I blocking it? Ah, that Argamer was doing it by himself after awakening to the Great Five. Why did we encourage you to conquer the world with the undead? If you put it like that, are we the same? We have never encouraged the Saint Empire to do what it is doing now. L retorted Tan''s words with a wink in his eyes. As if she was in a really good mood, she replied with a smirk. Aaaaaaa! This is really why I hate your kind. Yeah, I hate you too. The situation in which the Holy Church directly steps forward and kills all the wicked on the continent. From Michael''s point of view, there was nothing to lose, so he continued to talk with Tan with a rxed attitude. And there was no sign that the initiative in the conversation would go to Tan at all. ah! hey! master! It''s all because of you! Take responsibility. ... take responsibility? what? Because of you messing around as an argamer, all of our children are about to die! Evil lich argamer. Jae-young, who was unaware of the influence and power of the five letters in his name. Of course, even Tan kept muttering to himself as if he hadn''t known that Saint Empire would react so violently. Ha.... Those goddamn idiots pushed me into a nopakkust time, and they''re nopakkok again this time. Searching out and punishing ck magicians on all continents to catch a lich, literally burning thatch to catch a bed bug. However, simr to Michael''s beliefs, Saint Empire''s beliefs were also firm. [We can ept all sacrifices to judge ugly evil. Even if the entire continent is stained with blood. We will never stop to set God''s justice right.] The madness of those who are roaring with this incident. However, the Saint Empire had long since gone beyond the realm of fanaticism. An empire already stained with blood due to numerous incidents and victims in its long history. What Jaeyoung did to kill the Duke of Bergen was no different than pouring fuel back into the fading madness of these madmen. Take responsibility! Take responsibility! Tan now lies down on his feet in front of Jaeyoung and starts doing all sorts of tricks. Jaeyoung sighed and said at his ugliness, which he couldn''t believe was really the devil. Oh, I see. Okay, so please be quiet for a moment. Maybe I should give it some thought. Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Jaeyoung asked Michael, who was smiling brightly, ignoring Tan''s screaming like a dolphin. L, can you intervene? Arbitration... What arbitration, exactly, are you talking about? That... I did it, but the people of Amun are bleeding for no reason. There''s an old saying, hate the sin, but don''t hate the people, right? To judge innocent people without asking or questioning just because they are warlocks... Oh? Are you not guilty? How many sins have those cruel bastardsmitted? ..... Now our faithful believers are not punishing anyone. They say that only those who havemitted wrongdoing in the past are being judged appropriately. Jaeyoung had nothing to say to Michael''s words. If you look closely, this is all because of those who have been ignorantlymitting evil in the usual game. Isn''t it the karma returned to those who have lived their lives as fools, ignoring thew and morals? To implement justice to these people was a very natural thing from Michael''s point of view. So who said to live doing bad things? A question from Michael again. At that question, Jaeyoung was able to understand Tans feelings a little bit. A frustrating situation where I can''te up with a reason even though I want to refute it logically. On the contrary, while listening to her story, Jaeyoung even felt like she was being persuaded. Well... but as a guardian angel in name, I can''t just ignore the request of the contractor. all right. I will mediate a little. really? Eh? really? Michael logically crushes Jaeyoung and readily mediates. Jaeyoung and Tan were surprised by her words and looked at her with round eyes and asked back. Uuuuuuuuuuuong- Michael narrows his eyes and concentrates as if he ismunicating with someone. And after a while, a message came to mind. [Part of the linked quest Witch Hunt'' has been changed.] [Check the changes.] ...Really changed? Then what did you think I was lying about? Angels always tell the truth. Jaeyoung was delighted at the words of Michael, who responded in a natural tone as if he was not joking, and confirmed the changes in the quest. And then he looked at her with puzzled eyes. Hey, Michael...? what''s this? Jaeyoung confirms the changed quest content due to Michael''s mediation. What changed was the number of bad guys to be killed. -Wicked Judgment (3921/49999900) Exactly 100 reduction from 50 million. Just looking at killing 49,999,900 people, this savage and bloody content still remained unchanged. why? You can save 100 lives. What mercy is this? Do you like it now? Even now, those who continue to receive baptism of hideous maces, torches, and holy magic from the killing squads sent by the Holy Empire are earnestly penitent. If they had heard it, Michael was talking with all sorts of patronage, as if he had really sincerely appreciated the remarks that they would have probably rushed at with foam. hey! You damn chicken! Lets see the end today, you bastard! oh? When you intervene, it changes again. After all, this is why demons are no good. Where do you look at that? It''s an insult! You crazy bitch! As if he couldn''t stand it any longer, Tan spread his wings and flew to attack Michael. Seeing Tan and L start tapping again, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh. What kind of madman designed this game''s angel...'' At this moment, more than ever, Jae-young was curious about the identity of the game''s developer. * * * The second continent of Arcadia. All over the continent where Korean users y, a sudden great chaos is taking ce. Now is your chance, brothers and sisters. A golden opportunity to give a righteous judgment to the bad yers who have always yed bad manners! Limited to priests and pdins. We are recruiting additional guild members. The age of light. As those who had even the slightest evil karma were immediately defined as wicked and began to be punished, sacred professions such as priests and priests began to receive more attention than ever before. Hey, are you starting Arcadia this time? Be a pdin or a priest! A ck magician? If you do that, you can''t even start the game and die? Even jobs like thieves and assassins are dangerous. If you get caught by those who im to be the Holy Knights, you''ll just be forced to log out. For those who have just started Arcadia, a neutral job or a priestly job ispulsory. That''s why the dissatisfaction of new users and ex-professionals exploded more intensely than ever before. [hey? I really want to see you, so would you like to run the game like this? Are you crazy?] Ah... your customer. It''s really unfortunate that he died, but it''s an event that happened because of this quest... [So what kind of crazy developer would make something like this out of a quest! Yes?] Well... I''m sorry if this quest was unsatisfactory. If you send the rted information by e-mail, the relevant department will ept it... [Ah, there is no need for a formal answer like that. Change the manager right now.] That customer... That''s because the manager is also on the phone right now... [Whatever it is, change the manager right away!] Suddenly, after a lion bursts from over the receiver, Miyeon''s ears are deafened. He grabbed it and frowned. The situation has received more than tens or even hundreds ofints from users who call beyond the level of anger. Miyeon sweated and turned her head to look at the manager. No, thats it... how can we do it... Manager! One more call put on hold! Manager! Currently, there are only 1821 people on the waiting list for requests to switch managers. The phones are ringing non-stop, not even for a single second. All of the calls received by the counseling staff were being diverted to the manager. As many as 1821 extremely angry consumers. Miyeon let out a sigh and picked up the phone again as she saw the manager frantically making fun of the four receivers while dealing with them. She was struggling today to calm this situation as much as possible. * * * An area in a forest close to the estate of the Duke of Bergen. A peaceful ce where low-level monsters pop up from time to time. However, a fierce chase was taking ce here. Hehehehehehe..... The ck me Dragon of Darkness was exhausted from running away for a long time and exhaled heavily. In front of him, two users who appeared to be priests and a user holding an ugly mace were slowly tightening around him. Hehehe... have you finally given up? The gaze of a predator as if it had found a delicious prey that would make your mouth water even just by looking at it. Those who had such eyes talked to each other as if they were happy just thinking about it. Hey, what would you give me as a reward if I killed the No. 1 Warlock? Shouldnt I give you a high-ranking item? I wish I could give you a higher level skill. What are you talking about? I have to ask for a rank increase within the church. In the long run, that pays off. As if they had already caught it all, thinking about the reward, they excitedly turned the happiness circuit, and the ck me Dragon of Darkness shouted as if it was pitiful. Crazies... do I have to go this far for that damn quest? Those who have no one-sided expression. However, they appeared out of nowhere and started chasing the ck me Dragon of Darkness. It''s as if you''ve been aiming for it from the beginning. Ah... dont be too unfair. There were other requests to capture you, and everyone was being ughtered, but the fact that the No. 1 warlock was fine was because it seemed disproportionate. what....? At the pdin''s words, the ck me Dragon of Darkness had a different color in its eyes. There was someone who wanted to catch me...? Who is that? That''s... The pdin smiled strangely at his question. He raised the mace in his hand high into the sky and mmed it down, shouting. You guys don''t know! die! Judgment sh! A mace that swung rapidly toward the ck me Dragon of Darkness, scattering tremendous brilliance before it had time to cast a defensive spell. However, his powerful skill failed to achieve its purpose and was blocked by something. What is this? devil....? no imp? The size of a dainty palm. Two small horns on his head. And a pair of tiny bat wings on his back. Looking at this seemingly cute little demon, a priest muttered incredulously, but the existence distorted its face viciously and shouted. Who dares call you an imp! You fucking chicken wing bastard! Chew. Hey! What is it? Standing Holy Knight, pup pup! what....? Are you dead? At the slightest gesture of the imp, the Holy Knight was split in half and copsed. Those who confirmed that they had been logged out due to death screamed with great agitation. What is that summon...? A ck mage is so strong...? Those who misunderstood that the ck me Dragon of Darkness summoned them. However, the ck me Dragon of Darkness stood nkly at the sight of the floating little devil with an annoyed face. You... no, you... Ha... you really shouldnt pour probabilities into things like this. Damn it... The little devil grumbled and scratched his head. He looked at the Dark me Dragon and said. Hey, dont go anywhere, stay still. Lets start by organizing these small chicken wings. At those words, the Dark me Dragon nodded involuntarily. Others did not know, but he did. [Faced the oldest old darkness.] [Attained an important turning point in the linked quest.] [The quest may change depending on the y . Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Witch Hunt (4) Take responsibility! Take responsibility! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Tan continued to protest with a sharp sound like a dolphin. Jaeyoung couldn''t help but shout at his constant screams. Ah Okay! I''ll take responsibility, so stop shouting! I''m going to go deaf! really? okay. At Jaeyoung''s words that he would take responsibility, Tan suddenly stopped shouting and looked at him with an unreliable look in his eyes. how? Um... wouldnt it be enough to kill the person who caused all of this? the simplest way. However, Tan looked at Jaeyoung with pitiful eyes and said. ...what happened to you that all solutions are killing them? Jae-young, who had been arguing to Count Boroken that if he killed the Duke of Bergen, all problems would be solved. His idea that he wasn''t some kind of lunatic killer and that he could just kill everything that annoyed him was enough to stick his tongue out even when he was a devil. Besides... even if I did that, how would I kill him? You''re going alone into Eden, the heart of the Holy Empire, and killing the pope and the saint? Even the little goblin passing by wouldnt believe that. A damn familiar who doesn''t trust his master at all. But as if he was right, even Michael flew in with his white wings pping and nodded. of course. Do you see the pope and the saint, the representative of God, as beings who die so easily? Under the protection and watchful eye of the heavens, they are stronger than anyone else on the continent. Even if that bat child lends you all its strength, you probably won''t be able to take a single step in Eden. L and Tan unanimously say that the method is absolutely impossible. The fact that they had the same opinion for the first time was truly astonishing, but Jaeyoung frowned when he heard the two of them. What are you talking about? Why am I going to kill the pope and the saint? Eh? isn''t that it? Then who are you going to kill? What do you mean? Tan and L look like they don''t know what he''s thinking. Seeing the two of them, Jaeyoung sighed and started talking. Now... listen carefully. First of all... A huge picture of Jaeyoung began to be drawn. A great picture full of chaos and ruin that could have finished this job to the satisfaction of either Tan or El. * * * Beasts of the Apocalypse. Lord of eternal hell. Ruler of all demons. Satan. The ruler of chaos and destruction, he may one day lead Arcadia toplete ruin. Ha... far from ripping off probability, I''m ripping it off. This fucking bad boy... But now, the great demon king wasmenting his life while going through the time of a great sage (?). It was as if if there was a cigarette, he would naturally put it in his mouth and light it. However, as if they hadn''t heard his grumbling, the pursuers who had lost theirrades were talking noisily to each other. Will you kill the Holy Knight Puppung at once? Isnt this a bug? A level 92 is one room? A pdin with all kinds of buffs? What kind of summons are so many? A party formed to carry out quests directly given by the church''s high-ranking priest. The party, all made up of divine sses, was visibly agitated to see the main tank fall in one hit. What kind of imp is that..... Quickly. Which bastard called you an imp again? As soon as the word imp is mentioned, Tan''s eyes light up and he res at him as if he''s going to kill him. One priest hurriedly shut his mouth at his bloody spirit and tried to avoid his eyes. Ha... Hey, I want to set an example for all the chicken wing groups like you, but I don''t want to use a wasteful probability, right? So, if it turns off right away, your life will be ..... ....Everyone attacks! It''s the devil anyway! If we hit it, we win! Saint Cross! Cheon. Holy magic that someone unexpectedly threw before Tan could finish his words. And with that magic as the starting point, all the priests started firing the maximum amount of magic they could cast. Judgement Lane! Holy Crasher! Holy Breath! Anti Demonic Ray! Kwaaang Kwang Kwakkang - A feast of holy magic specialized in exterminating demons. If it was a normal devil, he would have been purified in an instant and reverse summoned to hell by their group attack, but his opponent was an extraordinary demon king. Tan was fine with no scratches. [The aura of the abyss neutralizes the yer''s attack.] This crazy..... The Imp... withstood that attack? Whoops. A ck film covering Tan''s body. The energy slowly swirled around Tan and began absorbing all the remnants of divine power that remained around him. It''s astonishing that I thought I''d be able to talk to a group of madmen like you guys. Tan muttered as if he couldn''t expect it in the first ce. His eyes had turned into ghastly eyes, like those of torn snakes. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! On the outside, it looks just like a small imp. However, those who directly met its eyes surrounded by pitch-ck aura felt fear as if their souls had been pierced, even though it was a game. Oh the devil. fear. The priests, who felt a tremendous sense of fear that they had never felt before, began to shake. And the aura that had been revolving around Tan began to eat away at them. [Aura of corruption dwells in the yer.] [Divine power resists it.] [Failure to resist. Temporarily unable to use divine power.] [Warning. Corrupted energypletely consumes the yer''s body.] [Has been affected by abnormal status corruption.] What is this? Sea divine power is unavable! damn! I''ve never heard of a condition like this...! Messages pouring in so fast that it''s hard to read them properly. At the moment when the priests were confused and did not know what to do, Tan said with a strangely fishy smile. Die, fallen beings. And that''s it. [You have died. Be mindful of the y.] It was thest moment they saw in the game before they died. * * * Gray fallen corpses. Those who, until just a moment ago, held up ugly maces and staffs and rushed to judge themselves. However, due to the mysterious existence that suddenly appeared, he was reversed in an instant. Ah-oh! Why the hell am I saving the probability that I saved and saved to feed real chicken wings! I''m wasting my time here because of these bugs! Probability given to transcendent beings little by little as time passes. For Tan, who had so many things he wanted to do and things he wanted to eat, he was an object that could be said to be a sample of the many things that alwayscked probability. Keep it off... Lets finish this job properly and see. It''s really a peace agreementter, and it''s nabal, and I should just go right into the chicken wingir and destroy everything. An imp who is pouring out curse words over and over again. The head of the ck me Dragon of Darkness, watching him, began to spin rapidly. It''s the oldest old darkness...'' An imp that killed dozens of users without lifting a finger. However, when looking at their equipment, there were absolutely no users at the level of death so brutally, so the ck me Dragon of Darkness was able to roughly guess the identity of this imp. It must be only the outward appearance... It must be a special NPC whose stats are ridiculous, right?'' There is no way that a gamepany can create a biased event that is unterally beneficial to one side. I thought that there must be an arrangement prepared for the evil formation, and the ck me Dragon was certain that this existence in front of me was that arrangement. O great oldest old darkness! fluff. The ck me Dragon suddenly prostrated itself and mmed its head on the ground. Tan, who had been venting his umted resentment for a long time, looked at his sudden behavior as if he was absurd and asked. ...What are you doing now? Now your servants are bleeding to death in the madness of the Holy Church! Please give them the strength to avenge their blood! A tragic expression as if he had lost countless brothers. His tone seems to contain the bitterness of losing all of his precious people overnight and bing alone and vowing revenge. It''s so... perfect.'' His acting was so lively that even strangers would mistake it for real, and even ck me Dragon himself was surprised. Should I try acting as well...?'' I was holding a floating cloud feeling as if I had discovered a talent I didn''t even know I had, when I heard a intive voice. It sucks. ....yes? Dont be mean. Do you think I don''t know what the adventurers are like? Even if it died anyway, on the subject of being resurrected and crawling out again sooner orter, why are you making a fuss about something like that just because it died once? ..... A remark that seemed to fully understand the game system despite being an NPC. The ck me Dragon couldn''t open his mouth at his pessimistic reaction. And... honestly, I know you guys, but you guys are the ones who run around screaming whenever they open their mouths. Do you think I''ll believe you when you say that? It''s a maniptive job that doesn''t work out anywhere? An imp that looks incredibly sloppy. It waspletely different from the way he behaved and spoke differently from his outward appearance, which even felt cute. It''s done... Hey, you''re still the strongest among adventurer warlocks, right? yes....? ah! yes! The ck me Dragon answers politely. But as if he didn''t like him, Tan muttered as he narrowed his eyes. This kind of corrupt guy is the strongest ck magician. That''s why you''re always beating those chicken wings. Uhh... thats really my situation. Warlocks popping up and down every time. Unlike the castle camp, which forms a powerful nation called the Holy Empire and is respected by everyone every time and boasts a powerful prestige, the evil camp lives in hiding for 10,000 years and only maintains its existence. Tanmented at this fact. Ah... fuck. When will the daye when I can properly feed the face of that crazy bitch with taffy? Tan, who wants to feed Michael properly someday. However, since the power of the castle camp was much stronger on the continent of Arcadia, Michael had rtively more chances than Tan. The day to fuck her like that always seemed distant. Im sorry? I don''t know what it is, but the ck me dragon bowed his head to the imp who seemed to have bought the whole world. It''s okay... It''s wrong for me to have to put my hopes on someone like you. What is that...? Poo-wook. Just as the ck me Dragon was about to ask what that meant. Tan approached him without exnation and thrust his hand into his heart. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Please, I hope that you will chew and swallow as much as you scooped and fed. Really please. pounding. A beat felt in the heart. The heterogeneous power felt in that beat. He knew when that power was slowly eroding the Dark me Dragon''s body. [I absorbed the essence of the Rich Argamer.] [I changed my job to the hidden ss Maestro of Death.] [ Job privilege The Rich Argamer descends to Arcadia through the yer.] [Linked quest Witch Hunt'' has been partially changed.] [Please check the changes.] Legion of Death Lich Argamer. A rare yer whose name is engraved all over the continent by creating a huge number of victims. He descended to Arcadia by borrowing the body of the ck me Dragon of Darkness. Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Witch Hunt (5) Rich Argamer. A ck magician who sold his soul and obtained immortality through a pact with the devil. Having stained the continent in the past with blood, he was ruthlessly suppressed by the saint of the Saint Empire, who was endowed with divine power directly from the heavens. [wait. I will definitelye back someday and pay for this humiliation!] An Argamer who was known to have gone into hiding, but was brutally exiled to the Pandemonium with his body lost. However, his soul exiled to the demon world became a collection of a demon full of greed for hundreds of years, spending endlessly meaningless time. [Sorry! I couldn''t finish my revenge! To have to spend eternity helplessly like this!] He lost his proper body and only maintains self-consciousness in the form of a soul. A great opportunity came to him, who was suffering every day with bitterness and powerlessness. [If you don''t want to get lost, take care of this properly. Otherwise, I''ll show you what hell tastes like. You know very well that this is all because of you, right?] Lord of the Demon Realm. A tremendous being that he would not even dare to face face to face with threatened him with a tremendous offer. An offer to give humans a chance to take revenge once again. [Don''t worry, King. I will risk my soul and turn the Holy Empire into a burningnd of death.] After reflecting on past defeats for hundreds of years, he was confident of victory. However, the demon lord''s answer waspletely different from what he thought. [Ha .... This damn bone cub is still unhappy. Are you crazy?] [Yes...? What do you mean by that?] Argamer was taken aback by Satan''s annoyed words, and couldn''t speak properly. [If you wake up again to destroy the Holy Empire and go crazy, will those damn chicken wings just watch it?] Fighting between the Heavens and the Demons. A closer look at this seemingly simple conflict and confrontation revealed a great deal of political engineering and calction. How can you feed your opponent a giant candy with minimal probability? Contemtion and reflection on this topic are repeated every day, and the heavens and the demons have always made efforts to weaken the opposing forces in ingenious ways. And from Tan''s point of view, Argamer''sments were no different from scratching his nerves. [Do you know how likely it is to get in just by sending you back to Arcadia? But again, you''re going to wage an all-out war with the chicken wings? You know that probabilitiese out when you dig into the ground, you idiot-like bony bastard!] Pouring water into an empty dock. He couldn''t imagine how much probability it would take to beat those chicken cubs, who were determined to pour out all their probabilities even if the root of the pirs of the heavens were pulled out for victory. [Do it in moderation. All I want is a minimal set-up. After a moderate show,e back to the world of demons. If I make a big deal out of pretending to get revenge again, you will really feel what hell is like for me. Do you understand?] Receiving all kinds of threats and words from Tan, the Argamer was able to return to the continent of Arcadia once again. [The Life Vessel sits on the yer''s body.] [Lichization is in progress.] [The yer''s species has been changed to undead.] [The job quest Revenge of the Past'' has been created.] [Linked quests You have be a rich argamer, a key figure in Witch Hunt''.] [The yer''s stats and skills are temporarily adjusted.] [The argamer''s power can be fully used temporarily.] Messages pouring in like crazy. The Dark me Dragon muttered in surprise as he looked down at his hand, which was skinny enough to see through its bones. This is... what the hell... Lich-Hwa. I''ve heard rumors circting among warlocks who y Arcadia. -A certain warlock NPC said that it is possible to be undeadter? -That''s probably a high-level warlock job? I don''t know how, but there are some rice cakes like that. -Maybe when you reach level 200, you will get a rted quest? Rumors like rumors that there is a way for ck magicians who have reached the extreme level to choose the path of the undead lich, a high-ranking mage, in order to reach a higher level. Ability level.... Whats this... Inadvertently opened the ability level window. Seeing this, the ck me Dragon couldn''t close its gaping mouth. [yer Argamer (ck me Dragon of Darkness)] upation: Mastero of Death Race : Undead Title : Legion of Death Level: 200 (92) Stats - Strength: 350 (95) - Stamina: 3450 (140) -Agility: 520(56) -Intelligence: 5864(840) -Luck: -50(0) -Dominance: 59465(-) < A specific person has descended on the yer > < Stats have been temporarily adjusted > Unlike the existing stats, the ability is inted to apletely different number. Seeing this, ck me Dragon could feel the strength of Argamer. In particr, Dominance, a Necromancer''s exclusive ability, was far too high to bepared to Necromancers of the same level. Hey... Hey! Can''t you hear me? Tan screamed loudly as if he was saying something. The ck me dragon was startled by the sound and hurriedly closed the status window and replied. ah! yes! I am listening. The attitude of a fast-paced new recruit as if he had just reported to move in. Tan looked at the ck me dragon with a frustrated look and asked. Ha... no matter how I look at it, I feel uneasy. Can you really do well? What... do you mean? The ck me Dragon rolls his eyes and makes a stupid expression. Looking at him as if he was pitiful, Tan exined to him. A scenario of a perfect y to finish this work at an appropriate level. * * * Arpendia. Amunity site that is always overflowing with incidents and idents for various reasons. On this always noisymunity site, numerous recruitment posts have been posted recently. -Are there any priests who will go to punish the wicked after work today? - This is a level 82 pdin. We are looking for 2 people to kill the 4th ranked Dark Knight. Possessing a quest. -How much contribution is required to be promoted within the Order? - You can too! Quickly kill the bad guys and increase your credit. - Discover the hidden Thieves Guild Hideout. Looking for members to wipe out. Quest Witch Hunt. Whether it''s a user or an NPC, as long as they''re evil, they get an indulgence whenever and wherever they kill, and on the contrary, their contribution rate rises like honey. In addition, when information on what can be done with that contribution was shared, the atmosphere heated up even more. - Depending on the contribution in the Holy Church, item skills are changed to gold or not. -If it is a sacred ss job, the rank within the church is also raised.pletely honey. The fact that you can freely exchange many rare items and advanced skills possessed by the Holy Church. When the fact that it could be exchanged for gold if desired became widely known, even users with neutral jobs all joined the castle camp. -If the contribution goes up a lot, the church gives out a list and assigns a special mission to catch it. -I killed the 2nd ranked bandit, but they gave me 100 gold as a reward. Honey. -??? 100 gold? Ten thousand won then? The level ofpensation was extremely high beyondmon sense, so people went around with their eyes on to find and kill users that you and I could see as evil. And in this situation, the anger of the users who were defined as evil gradually grew. -Ah, let''s do some shit. It''s just like saying don''t y the game. -lol. I was caught and burned at the stake by the ck magician NPCs who gave me the quest for my former job. What if this happens? -ah! I will not! Looked up 3 times already! Seriously, who the hell made this quest? - The level of bnce ising. I''m tired Eva mackerel saury tuna. -I rush to the headquarters to get a capsule refund today. Looking for someone to join us. A quest that is very openly unfavorable to the evil faction users. Because of this, those who had been beaten unterally in various ces became angry and tried to quit the game. And that moment of despair. A video was uploaded to Arpendia. [Quaaaaaagh! What is this!] [Death Knight? Duhan? How can such high-ranking undeade out already!] [Nonsense! Are you sure you weren''t a ck magician? How could such nonsense happen!] A professional ughter team judge made by only divine rankers. Their party was shouting with frightened expressions while surrounded by a huge number of undead. [Kill them all. Show your resentment to those dumb servants of the god.] A skinny appearance that showed off every bone. Gray-white skull. A presence that exudes a tremendous presence with a zing eye light shining there. At his word, the undead slowly began to move. [Holy Bind!] [God! Righteous judgment here! Final Day!] [Justice and glory protect me. Divine Shield!] Users poured divine magic and skills on the slowly approaching undead. However, not a single high-ranking undead surrounding them, as if their resistance was beingughed at, did not fall. [Mi crazy! What level do you have...] When the undead started attacking, the party judge, a ranker specializing in kills, copsed in gray too easily without being able to hold out for long. Those who saw them ughter were astonished and cheered again. -??? What is it? Really? -Isn''t there a priest ranking 2nd over there? But to be robbed like that? -What? Who is that? Numerous evil-type users who were killed by them. Even if it wasn''t them, there were a lot of people who had already been judged harshly by someone, so the annihtion of the referee aroused great interest and curiosity in the evil camp. [To all those who died unfairly and were branded as dirty and ugly.] After the battle. As if swearing allegiance, the Undead bowed their heads to one being. And the being began to open its mouth with ming eyes glowing. [A lot of evil users have already been killed, and they are currently and will be. I also passed the point of death a while ago.] It''s now the 5th day since this series of quests started. However, the number of wicked people who had already been judged exceeded 6,000,000. The users of the castle camp who ughtered a huge number of 6 million in 5 days. At this point, it was the Holocaust of the century that took ce in such a short time that it is questionable whether they can be called good. [What did we do so wrong? I simply chose the ss because the rogue looked fun, so the ck mage or dark knight looked strong and cool! Is that such a mortal sin! Yes?] The resentment that all evil faction users must have. Watching the resentment coolly vented, each person felt an indescribable, warm feeling rising in their hearts. [Don''t put up with it anymore. Resist them! Fight and show! Just as an earthworm wriggles when stepped on, the will that we will not stand still! You are not alone!] The hidden acting skills that Tan showed. The ck me Dragon of Darkness shouted as he gathered all of his talents that he had never known before. [All warlocks and dark knights, thieves, outcasts, bandits, dark statues, and assassins in Arcadia! All of these people will work together to stop this ridiculous madness! It''s me! I will make it that way!] Resistance. He was calling out to resist those who created a huge force and trampled on them mercilessly. He shouted with his burning eyes shining, then took a short breath before continuing to speak in a low voice. [I am the ck me Dragon of Darkness, No. 1 in the Warlock Ranking.... No.....] [I am the Lich Argamer who leads the Corps of Death.] A legendary lich who leads the Corps of Death. ck me Dragon, who introduced himself as the culprit that caused all this, showed the power of his huge undead army and said. [Those who want to resist this vicious holy empire with me, assemble in the Maroon Kingdom.] He was calling everyone together. [Let''s show those goddamn priests and pdins some real spiciness.] To create another massive force to stand against the mighty Holy Empire. Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Witch Hunt (6) A video uploaded to Arfandia. It was just one video, but the ripple effect it brought was enormous. - Even if you fall behind, you have to fight. Connect right now. -okay! If this is what happened, die like this or die like that, I have to fight first. - Created a resistance guild in Maroon Kingdom. Anyone with an evil ss is wee. The ck me Dragon of Darkness, the number one ck magician who became a rich argamer. With him as the focal point, all those who had been holding their breath until now began to gather little by little. And his video gave shock and fear to Arcadia employees who were struggling to deal with this situation. What is that! No, theres no way a user can reach that level! How did this happen! Check the Dark me Dragon user information right now! A huge change that didn''t include a single intention of the developer. It is a strange situation that the gamepany only confirms in real time after these changes take ce in the game. So... are you saying that all the users from the evil faction are gathering in the Maroon Kingdom right now? To face the Holy Empire? That''s right. Currently, the ess rate of users ssified as evil camps is rapidly increasing. Perhaps everyone is going to rally around the user just mentioned and start an all-out war... Ah, that user who was temporarily transformed into a special NPC. You said your name is... Dark me Dragon, right? In response to her question, the senior manager nodded slightly. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, then burst into a strangeugh. Um... the boss? Why are you doing that... An extreme situation in which a game that is fine now has users split into two factions and are preparing to end each other. In this serious situation where the game itself is on fire, the executive director who rmended Lee Mi-yeon''s smile could not understand at all. Isnt the managing director interesting? ...I''m not sure what that means. Managing Director Kwon Myung-han couldn''t help but smile at the sight of the employees struggling to cover up the situation. People call Arcadia a game. But even though we didn''t make it or n it, a story is being created amidst many incidents and conflicts. The good that hates evil and wants to annihte them, and the evil that fights hard to survive. It''s virtual and just a game, but it''s a world that sometimes feels more real than reality. In that world, President Lee Mi-yeon felt more rewarding than ever when she saw countless groups of people gathering together to create one huge story. Boss, but its really not good for users from the two continents to antagonize each other by upation like this. Considering what we have nned for the future... I know. However, as I said before, it happened in the story created by users. We, who pursue infinite freedom, cannot just ignore this quest as if it never existed in the first ce. I know that. But... But. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han tried to protest, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon raised her hand and interrupted him. We can minimize the damage this will cause. ..... Executive Director Kwon Myung-han made a puzzled expression at her meaningful words. President Lee Mi-yeon said, looking at him who didn''t seem to understand what it meant. Ellis. [Nice to meet you, boss. What can I help you with?] Alice, the artificial intelligence in charge of Arcadia. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, told her. Is it possible topletely exempt users from the death penalty only for the evil faction of the chain quests that are currently in progress on the 2nd continent? [Users'' request for some adjustments to the death penalty system.] [Second-level manager Lee Mi-yeon, President Lee Mi-yeon''s management authority is satisfied.] [Deactivation of death penalty limited to evil camp users.] Yes! thank you! Alice! CEO Lee Mi-yeon greeted the monitor with a broad smile. And seeing her like that, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han asked with a bewildered expression. ....president? What was that...? In response to that question, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a friendly smile. huh? Ah, first of all, if youpare it to the Sung Jin-young, the evil Jin-young is definitely far behind, right? So I gave it a little bit of merit. Instead of stopping the kids from fighting, they praised them to fight more and even gave them weapons. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon seemed to lose sight of her actions, but President Lee Mi-Yeon told him as if it were natural. Originally, if you are going to fight, you have to fight hotly and solve it. Isn''t that what everyone is like? After hearing her words, the executive director realized that his superior, who holds the title of general manager of Arcadia, was enjoying the mess that was happening in the game more than anyone else. * * * After the ck me Dragon of Darkness became a rich argamer, adjustments were made to the linked quests, and a new wind of change blew to the users of the evil faction. [Linked Quest Witch Hunt] An evil lich argamer who dyed the continent in darkness in the past. Traces of his resurrection have been found again. As a result, everyone on the continent is working together to bring justice to the remnants of evil. Fight against it or help. [Victory Conditions] Holy faction - Judgment of the wicked (8946765/49999900) - Exterminate the lich argamer (0/1) Evil faction - Eliminate the Pope of the Saint Empire (0/1) - upy Maroon Kingdom Go to question mark The victory conditions of the evil camp, which were full of them, were finally revealed. Users talked while looking at these two victory conditions. -Who''s going into the lunatic''s stronghold to catch the pope? Of course thetter is better. - Isn''t the Pope''s estimated level 500 units? -The Pope isn''t the problem, just the holy knights that follow him around, wouldn''t it be a level joke? -First of all, it would be better to upy the Maroon Kingdom than to capture the Pope. The ck me Dragon is also there. First of all, the first victory condition was an unrealistic condition at the level of hanging a bell around a cat''s neck, so people naturally chose the second best solution. And the hasty announcement from Arcadia Co., Ltd. further inmed their fighting spirit. [We will temporarilypletely waive the death penalty for evil users by eptingints from yers that this linked quest is abnormally disadvantageous to a certain camp.] . Upon hearing the news that it had disappeared, both you and I logged on to the game as if we werepeting. And not long after they connected, a bloody war broke out all over the Maroon Kingdom. You damn priests! Did you like it because you killed me? Ill show you the fear of a level 10 thief! Low-level users who were busy running away the other day. When they see a priest or pdin with a beginner''s weapon in their hand, they start to attack. A low-level subject with weak damage! Search! Judgment Crash! A mace that shines brightly with brilliance. Seeing the novice thief turn gray with just one skill, the pdin sneered and murmured. joy. Where is the subject of jjorep.... How dare you..... Uung- What is it? how....? The rogue you just killed. However, he was astonished to see the corpse disappear in an instant and regenerate in front of his eyes. I guess you havent seen the announcement that Hengs death penalty has disappeared yet? With a confident look, the thief readjusted the novice dagger in his hand. What the hell kind of bullshit is that? puck! The pdin brandished a mace and counterattacked the thief who rushed at him again. However, he was speechless as he copsed into a gray light and immediately regenerated in a normal state. This is ridiculous... The novice thief smiled at him with a venomous face as he looked at him in shock. From now on, I will follow you until the moment you die. keep killing me Let''s see who wins. I will pursue you even to the ends of hell. Spoon Killer. A killer who carries a spoon that is neither painful nor lethal, and follows him to the end, whether it be in the desert or the arctic, and beats him until he dies. The pdin realized that the novice thief standing in front of him was his very own Spoon Killer. * * * [The conflict between the castle camp and the evil camp has intensified.] [ The chaos between good and evil in Arcadia is increased.] [A major change urs in the confrontation between good and evil.] [Calction of appropriate contribution.... Probability Acquired 63921.] [You have acquired the title Designer of Darkness''.] The ck me dragon of darkness that moves ording to the picture designed by Jaeyoung. The users of the evil faction gathered around him, who temporarily became a powerful being called Argamer. As they began to wage a bloody war with the users of the castle camp, a great probability began to pour into him. I didnt expect it to be this intense... It must have been great that the gamepany removed the penalty. Twopletely divided continents of Arcadia. Users who were divided into good and evil were engaged in a bloody and bloody civil war in which they killed and killed each other. Oh, my probability...! hey! master! There seems to be a lot of probability, but can you give me a little bit? Another thing that increased the probability was Tan, who recognized it like a ghost. He started begging for probability, screaming that he would die next to Jaeyoung. With your bare mouth? hey! How much probabilities have I spent trying to get an Argamer out here? How bare-mouthed that is! Rich argamer. Tan directly brought out the essence of a certain high-ranking demon tribe, which was being decorated as a collection, and descended directly. Because of that, Tan, who consumed a lot of probability, shouted as if he was unfair, but Jaeyoung didn''t blink an eye. Are you the only one who wrote probabilities? That''s why I drove away all the probabilities I had. So, what kind of probability do you want more? Probability of 35887. Since it was a reward he had obtained in exchange for all the probabilities he had acquired by assassinating the Duke of Bergen and preventing the war, Jae-young spoke to Tan with a confident attitude. You decided to use all the probabilities I had and take care of the shortfall. Right El? that''s right. Just don''t pay attention to what that bat says. Originally, it is very natural for the people of the Devil family to talk differently when they poop and when theye out, so if you believe what they say... L. Looking at her with a sullen expression, Tan got annoyed. ah! it''s okay! I don''t get it because I''m sorry! What are you doing with that! A grunt shot. Jaeyoung looked at L and asked, ignoring Tan''s muttering. Anyway... El, as promised, will you lend me your strength this time? sure. It''s the moment to punish that cruel lich, of course I have to borrow it. L nodded his head and gave a satisfied smile. Jaeyoung looked at her and shouted. Kangsin. charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr A list of countless strong people appearing in front of him when the skill is activated. From there, Jaeyoung pondered over and over again and was able to pick out one person. [Kadiel, a knight of hardship and pilgrimage] Here... I''ll use this one. would that be possible? sure. His strength is more than enough to y that evil lich. ..... Tan shows his dissatisfaction with a sullen expression. Jaeyoung said while watching Tan''s protest. Dont make that face. It''s something you''ve agreed to. That''s true... This work is also beneficial to you. you know? ..... Tan nodded without saying anything at that. Seeing him like that, I felt a little pity for him, but Jaeyoung soon used his strength. [A celestial being dwells in the yer''s body.] [The power of the existence dwelling in the yer can be temporarily exercised.] Uuuuuuuuuugh. The pure white aura that dwells in Jaeyoung''s body. Jaeyoung looked at the sword in his hand, feeling the incredibly pure flow of divine power. grip support. A sword that shakes and exudes tremendous holy power. Jaeyoung looked at L as he saw that it had the appearance of being an unusual object even at first nce. I did a bit of overdoing it to be sure. crazy! Could that be the End of Eternity''? Bring a holy sword to catch a lich right now? Did I tell you? I''m ready for any sacrifice when ites to ying the bloody demons. No, but... Wow... What a crazy bitch... Tan opened and closed his mouth as if he had nothing to say. Jaeyoung looked at the sword for a while, then fixed it and smiled. Then shall we go now? To punish the evil lich who is responsible for all these incidents. Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Witch Hunt (7) The confrontation between good and evil in Arcadia. Although it happened inside the game, this incident raised a big rm in the world outside the game. It became a hot topic to the extent that it was constantly mentioned on terrestrial broadcasting and attracted public attention. [These two forces, good and evil, are doing great damage to each other as they confront each other. Even though it''s a game, the whole city and vige are turning into ruins on a scale that can be considered a civil war.] [ That''s right. I''ve heard that there are cases where the castle camp recaptured a city upied by the evil camp and burned the city itself. Why did the gamepany n such an event ? I don''t know which crazy nner it was, but I didn''t know it, but I doubted whether there was an impure intention to ruin the game itself. [Hmm... I think it''s probably a message that gamepanies are throwing to everyone.] [Yes? message? Um.... I''m not sure what kind of message you''re talking about.] [This is my personal opinion... but... the game defines both good and evil, rejects each other, and kills each other. there is. Let''s assume. Which force do you think you belong to, good or evil?] [Yes? Isn''t that a good thing, of course? Even if he looks like this, he is a very upright man who even won the Model Award when he was young.] The host yfully replies. However, he did not have an easy answer to the question that came back. [is it so. Then, are the Sung Jin-young really good beings? Can those who brutally kill over 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people can be defined as being good?] [.....] Reason and morality arepletely paralyzed and buried in the ideology of good and evil. Tragedy derived from those who havepletely lost their humanity. In Arcadia, at the beginning of the quest, the users of the castle unterally ughtered over 6 million wicked people for no reason, reproducing a huge tragedy that had been used in world history in the past. [We have learned lessons from the two great world wars in the past. But looking at what''s happening in the game Arcadia right now, I feel like we''re already forgetting the lessons we''ve learned painfully from the past.] [...I don''t think I''ve ever thought of that.] Game pany employee If they had heard this, they would have been frothing and running wild, but they were already assuming that the gamepany had made this quest for a noble reason, assigning nonsensical meanings at will. [I personally support the evil camp. The appearance of the weak and the minority who ovee the strong oppression and oppression of the castle camp and eventually win.] * * * War is brutal. endless bodies. You don''t know when and where the shells will explode. The urgency that a single mistake could cost you your life in an instant. All of this restrains and restrains individual actions, but the war in Arcadia was a little different. Lets go! Im only a fan of one guy. I remember the one who killed me and I will follow him until he dies. Kill it! kill it! It''s a waste of mana because I''m low-level anyway! A battlefield without death. In particr, because the death penalty waspletely removed, it was possible to immediately resurrect in the ce, so the users of the evil camp literally went crazy. Ouch! Get out of here! Divine Judgment! Kwaaang. A range skill fired by a high priest. The white lightning that fell from the sky swept the users away with a roar. Dozens of users copsed in gray light. However, before they had time to catch their breath, they reappeared as if they had died. Hehehe.... I guess Ive run out of holy power now? Didn''t I say I''m only a fan of one guy? Even if I kill you, its no use? die quietly. A group of wicked people slowly closing in on their surroundings. Even if they were high priests with a wide level gap, it was impossible to subdue those who came back to life even after killing hundreds of times. [You have defeated the senior priest My Cross is Huge''.] [Obtained the item Aelin''s Tears''.] Ohhh! Rare item! A ne too! Wow... Im envious. Heck I ate a magic item! ah! Why do I only give japtem? This really sucks. In order to ovee the drastic level difference, the evil camp''s performance as a group gathers and clings to each other and eventually seeds in counterattacking. Thanks to that, the castle camp within the Maroon Kingdom began to weaken at a remarkable rate. And the ck me Dragon of Darkness, or Lich Argamer, who led all of this, was slowly marching with the resurrected army of death. To the royal capital of the Maroon Kingdom, where the 8-year-old Scarecrow King is located. Heh heh! How do you do this! The army of death arrived at a distance close enough to see with both eyes from far away beyond the castle wall. Seeing this, Jerome began to cry with tears on his face with anxiety, but no one could suggest a solution to him. My lord, we must escape from this capital right now. Fleeing to the Saint Empire, securing safety, and then rearranging and recapturing it again... Your Highness... It is impossible to stop that army of death with our forces right now. Rich argamer. His army of death that engulfed the entire continent in the past. Although not perfect, it was after the Maroon Kingdom had grown too powerful to handle. The opponent is not an ordinary necromancer. Even skeletons are top undead like archer mage warriors, zombie ghoul variants, banshee and durahan death knight. Considering even the high-ranking undead... As for the Royal Guard, it''s probably enough to take a while. Still, many adventurers are joining forces to protect this royal family! If I''m with them... Your Majesty, you shouldn''t trust the adventurers too much. Even if they die, they are resurrected ande back again. If you believe in them and keep your position, even if you are defeated and the king is killed, the Maroon Kingdom will walk the path of destruction that day. One-man corps. A person who has the level of armed forces capable of fighting a war against the state alone. The power that Rich Argamer showed was beyond imagination. And the number of adventurers approaching him was toorge to be ignored. I can''t believe it... God... why the hell did Maroon Kingdom suffer like this...! King Jerome sighed briefly. However, he had no choice but to stand up as if he could not win at the urging, not the urging, of his servants who were preparing to leave for exile to the Saint Empire with him. * * * Hmm... this is going to be a bit tight... The ck me Dragon of Darkness, who traveled around various territories to reinforce the army of death. He was puzzled by the problems that arose while heading to his final destination, the Maroon Royal Family. [Victory Conditions] Holy faction - Judgment of the wicked (48931235/49999900) - Punishment of the rich argamer (0/1) Obviously, the number stopped at around 6 million just a week ago. However, 50 million, the victory condition for Sung''s camp, was just around the corner. Is it because of those who were socent that they woulde back to life even if they died... The death penalty was removed. To the evil faction, it was like a double-edged sword. Even if you die, you don''t have to wait 24 hours, you can immediately resurrect and y again, so unnecessary deaths urred too often. There was a guy who died and fought over a thousand times to catch a priest, so I said everything..... While he was busy making an undead legion, fighting fierce battles here and there, the evil faction increased the number of victims. users. Thanks to that, theposition of the quest haspletely changed. The castle camp first judges 50 million wicked people. Or the evil faction takes over the Maroon royal family. In any condition, the faction that achieves the objective first wins. Because it was literally a race against time, the ck me Dragon of Darkness had no choice but to be impatient. Death Field. Aww. A ck aura spread widely around him. When all thend was dyed ck and filled with the energy of death, ck me Dragon used numerous skills. Feast of the ck Night. The whispers of the dead. The Ghost Spirit Code. The longing of dead souls. The hatred of life. As high-level buffs that strengthen the undead began to pour in, the Legion of Death radiated even stronger momentum. Looking at them, the ck me Dragon of Darkness shouted at the firmly built castle wall with burning eyes. All troops march! e! Seongjinyoung users! Gather everyone! One million! If we kill one million more, we win! Never break through! If we take more time, we will definitely win! Even though the king ran away, the castle camp users and royal guards still kept their positions and strengthened their fighting spirit. However, their fierce battle soon ended in defeat. Is this the throne of the Maroon royal family... The ck me dragon of darkness led the undead army into the royal pce after defeating all the countless defending forces. He murmured as he looked at the luxurious chair that was shining golden but no one kept its seat. joy. I thought the king would run away. If I had known that would happen, I would havepletely surrounded it. The king who had already escaped from the kingdom a long time ago. Knowing that it was toote to pursue him, the Dark me Dragon slowly approached the throne of the Maroon Kingdom. [You have sat on the throne of the Maroon Kingdom.] [The throne of the Maroon Kingdom recognizes you as the new owner.] [You havepletely upied the Maroon Kingdom.] [The evil faction has achieved victory conditions in the linked quest Witch Hunt''. .] [The evil camp has won.] [The death penalty for the evil camp is reactivated. Be careful with your y.] [You have acquired the title Owner of the Golden Throne''] [You have acquired the right to rule the Maroon Kingdom.] Messages pouring in in an instant. Seeing this, the ck me Dragon shouted in his heart. Aaaaaa! seded!'' Powerful power given to his hand by chance. ck me Dragon, who did not miss the opportunity he had gained by making full use of that power, was able to be a king and acquire the authority to rule the Maroon Kingdom. Since I became a king, even the money I can extract...'' Even in an oldputerized RPG game, the additional revenue generated by eating just one castle is so enormous that it easily goes over thousands of dors. It was a difficult feat that could be aplished by thebined efforts of dozens of people, but he single-handedly took control of a country that exists in this virtual reality game. Therefore, it would not be strange to monopolize all the profits. I don''t know, but at the moment when he was fully operating his happiness circuit, thinking that he could extract a ridiculouslyrge amount of profit in a billion units, someone suddenly spoke to him from next to him. Is it good to be king? Who are you! He didn''t even feel the presence, but when he saw a man standing right next to him, the ck me Dragon of Darkness instinctively cast his magic. 5 attack magics activated instantly. However, the opponent did not show any panic at all and said. Adrinen''s Footsteps. However, he lightly evaded the ck me Dragon''s attack. Seeing him holding a sword with a rxed expression, the ck me Dragon could intuit that he had met a formidable enemy. Has it run well so far? To be honest, I should be satisfied if I gained a strong power to the level of bnce copse and took over one country. Did you get the hidden ss? If you try to eat more here, you will explode and die. What is that...? You bastard! What purpose! A mysterious man who seems to know everything, even the fact that he changed his job to a hidden ss. However, despite the numerous questions from the ck me Dragon, he fixed his sword with a strange smile and said. Now it''s time for Cindere''s magic to be unleashed. Caan. [A huge divinity imprisons the yer.] [End of Eternity'' has designated the yer as a target for judgment.] [The status ailment is branded as lethal.] [The Lich Argamer''s soul is astonished. I do.] What is this... The moment when ck me Dragon was flustered by the messages that came to mind in an instant, he mumbled. Jaeyoung smiled as he slowly walked towards him holding a sword of brilliant brilliance. What is it? It''s a moneylender who came to collect the money he borrowed again. Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Witch Hunt (8) Undead. Neither the living nor the dead. Immortal beings on the borderline of death. To these beings living in the time of eternity, the lofty celestial sacred object, End of Eternity'', was like rat poison. [Don''t be ridiculous! That sword!] The cry of the stunned Argamer''s soul. It was a sound that only the ck me Dragon of Darkness could hear, so the opponent didn''t show any reaction, but he seemed to know. why? Why? [End of Eternity.... That weapon exists again in Arcadia means that the Heavens are also directly involved in this matter!] Looking at the Holy Sword End of Eternity'', the Argamer can realize that there is something they don''t know. there was. The biggest reason why he suffered a fatal blow in the past and was expelled from the demon realm was because of that sword. Anyway, no matter how much you use dragons, its not possible that you cant, so dont lose your strength and die quietly. Anyway, if you log in after a day, the hidden job you got will be maintained and all you have to do is return to your original stats. [Run away! Never fight the author! Contractor!] Rich Argamer''s dissuade. He has shown a confident attitude no matter what strong man he has met so far. However, at this moment, the ck me Dragon could feel that he was trembling with fear and fear. Ha... thats easy. Just look at it and you''ll catch up soon... Kids! Hit! Chop, cut. Geuuuuuuuuuuuuu..... The high-ranking undead stood in front of the ck me dragon with a gloomy sound. While fighting them, Jaeyoung frowned at his appearance of buying time and trying to run away. Haa... I want to go a little better as expected, but they won''t help me. p. A piercing sound from the sword. And from Jaeyoung''s sword, the brilliance of tremendous divine power began to emanate. [Activates the divine power, the Sword of Radiance.] [The power of perma is embedded in the sword.] [Attack power against evil properties increases by 800%.] [All defense and magic resistance limited to evil properties. Ignore.] Mi crazy? That''s...! ck me Dragon was shocked to see the change in Jaeyoung''s sword. Unprecedented brilliance that boils as if it will explode. Having changed his job as a warlock and fought against several pdins and learned various information about them, he knew what it was. You guys are of the apostle ss? Apostle. Those who keep firm faith in God through countless trials and tribtions and are eventually chosen by God. special job given to them. Jaeyoung invoked Glow, a divine power bestowed only on them. However, it was too short a time for the user in front of him to reach the level of an apostle, which can only be found at the level of the Pope''s personal bodyguard. That''s why the manifestation of divine authority, which specializes inpletely eradicating evil, shocked him. No, how the heck... the power that can exert as much as the Popes personal bodyguard...? The ck me dragon couldn''t even connect properly as if he didn''t understand. However, Jaeyoung said with a strange smile. There''s no reason for me to tell you all of those things... Then where should I look? The power of the evil lich argamer who stained the continent with death? The army of death started attacking Jaeyoung as he rushed in with his eyes shining. A shining radiance began to annihte all that death. * * * The Silence of the Shadows. Chew. [The summoned Death Knight enters eternal rest.] [Re-summoning is impossible due to the effect of Eternal Rest''.] Swinging sword dance. okay. [The summoned Skeleton Warrior enters eternal rest.] [Re-summoning is not possible due to the effect of Eternal Rest''.] Brilliant Judgment. Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! [Summoned Banshee...] The high-ranking undead who are said to have entered eternal rest and disappear one after another. Watching the people who had filled the royal pce disappear one by one, the ck me Dragon screamed in despair. Uh... Uhhhhh! Please be right! While he was fighting the undead, the ck me Dragon wasn''t ying either. He continued to pour all sorts of curses and attack magic, but strangely enough, the other party easily avoided and defended him and fooled him. [The Rich Argamer is trembling in fear.] [Advises the Contractor to run away right now.] And the spirit of the Rich Argamer, who is sending messages to him to run away. Keuugh... what the hell is that weapon! He evades his attack skills so easily, and even in a one-to-manybat situation, he shows ridiculous monster-like situational judgment and body movements from moment to moment. . [Keu ke ke ke ke ke ke!] A Death Knight writhing in pain with just a light touch and being reduced to ashes by the fiercely burning torch. Even the deformed body, which boasts tremendous physical strength and defense, couldn''t properly withstand one of his attacks. this? Maybe it''s a holy sword... I don''t know exactly. Because it was borrowed. You borrowed rain? whoever....? There is, if its a devil, hes the kind of guy who gritting his teeth every time and vows to fuck me somehow. Chew. [The huge divinity of the holy sword consumes your body.] [The soul of the lich argamer screams in pain.] [Fatal damage! Fall into a dying state.] A single swing. The ck me Dragon of Darkness had no time to be astonished by the fact that he fell into a dying state from that single attack, and his physical strength was almost at the bottom. Why on earth... ck me Dragon fell into a dying state and could not even walk properly due to his slowed movements. With an expressionless face, Jaeyoung looked down at him and raised his sword. All of my picture puzzles will be put together only when you die after conquering the Maroon Kingdom. don''t be too upset Whether it''s the castle camp or the evil camp, both of you will be happy in exchange for your death. ...? A look of iprehension. However, Jaeyoung didn''t bother to exin in detail, so he shed his sword at the glittering essence of the rich argamer hidden deep in his chest and activated the skill. Time for Judgment. Whoops. A divine skill that inflicts fatal blows on evil beings. With the skill activated, Jaeyoung''s sword pierced Argamer''s soul and life vessel, which stores his life force, without hesitation. Kwajik. [The essence of the Lich Argamer has been destroyed.] [Death effect and Time of Judgment effect are ovepped.] [Synergy effect applied. It inflicts irreparable wounds on the Argamer''s soul.] [The Argamer''s soul''s contract with the Pandemonium is forcibly canceled.] [The Rich Argamer ispletely destroyed.] [You have acquired the title Noble Judge''. .] Time of judgment used to punish evil. And the end of eternity, the holy sword of heaven brought by Michael. Together, these two did not reverse summon the Argamer back to the Demon Realm, butpletely disappeared. And at the same time, he died and the ck me Dragon of Darkness was forced to log out. Phew... it''s over. Essence of thepletely destroyed Argamer. Watching the ck me Dragon burn to ashes, El said with a satisfied smile. Finally, I can bring a righteous judgment to that evil lich. On behalf of everyone in Heaven, Archangel Michael formally expresses his gratitude to Dex-sama. Michael bowed his head slightly and politely bowed. In response to her reaction, Jaeyoung scratched his cheek as if it was nothing. What... Its thanks to you overdoing the probabilities and even holding the holy sword. Rather... Is the probability okay? I tried to use as little as possible, but... Hmm... I won''t lie about it. The probability consumption has increased a lot from dealing with the smallfish, but considering that the damn lich waspletely destroyed, it''s cheap. Saying that, Michael nced at Tan, who was making a dissatisfied expression beside him. And since we werent the only ones who severely consumed probability... this much is fine. Aww... That damn bastard told me to do it in moderation. Whoops. My probabilities... The confrontation of vocal music going to the extreme. In order to somehow end the confrontation of the century, Jaeyoung proposed a mediation n. Tell the Rich Argamer to fully descend to this continent and take over the Maroon Kingdom. And L took advantage of that opportunity topletely disappear without missing the summoned Argamer. how is it? Because Michael''s obsession with Argamer was frighteningly great, it was a mediation that could only be worked out, and in the end, Michael got what he wanted. [The rich argamer rests in eternal rest.] [Sung''s camp achieved victory conditions in the linked quest Witch Hunt''.] Although there was a time difference, both camps achieved victory conditions. That''s why Jaeyoung murmured with a strange smile. Now... how do youe to a conclusion in such an ambiguous situation? I don''t know who nned it, but I''m sure Jae-young probably never thought of a situation like this. And to match that conviction, Alice was also fully operating the arithmetic circuit and continued to think about the follow-up to this incident. [A contradiction urs. Both camps achieved victory conditions.] Although there was a time difference, both camps met victory conditions. The difference in progress between the two was too great for evil to raise their hand because they met the victory condition first. [Win conditions met: 94% vs 50%. Seong Jin-yeong''s advantage.] In addition, Seong''s judgment on the wicked was close to the clear condition, and it had to be taken into ount because it went beyond killing Argamers andpletely disappeared. [Exploring the optimal scenario.] So hundreds and thousands. No, as a result of conceiving and designing hundreds of millions of scenarios, she was eventually able to conclude with one scenario. [Optimum Scenario No. 43923.] [Code-002. Start emergency patch.] [Code-283. Apply the changes.] * * * Employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. In a situation where the Witch Hunt quest had begun for almost two weeks, those who hadn''t been able to get off work properly were tired. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..... anyone want coffee? I''ll stop... if I eat more, I could die from caffeine overuse. Haa... I hope it''s over please. Now, if one million more die, it will be over. Or that ck me Dragon takes over the Maroon Kingdom. Either the castle camp kills 1 million more wicked people, or the evil camp takes over the Maroon Kingdom. In this situation, which seems to be possible in any situation, someone muttered to himself. Who will win...? Um... isnt it evil? It seems that the Maroon Kingdom doesn''t have the ability to withstand that level of forces led by the ck me Dragon of Darkness... Still, looking at the speed at which the number of judgments against the wicked are counted, it seems that 50 million will be filled before that... . The number of judges of the wicked whose number is increasing every blink of an eye. It was true that there was still a chance for victory for Sung Jin-young due to the fact that the death penalty was removed. However, unlike their thoughts, the development of this incident turnedpletely unexpected. Who is that again? A mysterious user appeared next to ck me Dragon when he sat on the throne of the Maroon royal family. And the eyes of the employees watching him confronting the ck me dragon opened up differently from a moment ago, when they looked like they were going to sleep. That''s...? Divine Power? Nonsense! How can a user do that...? Incredible staff. Someone shouted as they were babbling. Check that user data right now! Ah, I see...! There is no user information! what....? no.... It''s not that there isn''t one, but it says Restricted viewing due tock of administrative privileges! What? While they were staring at each other in bewilderment, the mysterious user began to move. what? No matter how divine power that is, how can a Death Knight do it in one shot...? Vice manager! The weapon that user is holding is a mythical item! What? I am sure. I checked the data of the recently deceased Death Knight, and it is a mythical item of the End of Eternity''! Does that make sense? How does a mythical item get into the hands of a user...? A situation where something that could never happen happened. They stood there nkly for a long time, watching the mysterious user defeat the Dark me Dragon with their own two eyes. Without knowing how much overtime they would have to endure in the picture he drew. Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Witch Hunt (9) Main Scenario Quest Witch Hunt. This quest, which had no intention of the gamepany at all, made a huge change in Arcadia, whether I like it or not. Hey those disgusting hypocrites! Where are you talking about dirty thieves? Ah, if there is a pdin, we wont hunt together. Who''s to say? Pick one of the two over there. I hate it too. Previously, users from both camps were aghast on the Inte or throughments. However, after the witch hunt, he openly showed hostility and growled. Every time a party is formed for hunting or dungeon raiding, a phenomenon that creates conflict arises every time, and they collide in every case, but fortunately,rge-scale bloodshed like the previous one did not ur. [The linked quest witch hunt has ended.] [The Continental Law is reactivated.] [Indiscreet PK between the two camps is prohibited.] After the quest, the Continental Law is reactivated. As both camps were protected by the Continental Law within the vige, the power battle that had been fierce in the vige as before was no longer a sight to be found. That''s why all the Arcadia employees were able to breathe. Whew... Fortunately, the quest ispletely over. Ugh... I can finally get off work... Ugh! I really need to go to sleep when I get home. The staff cheered for the fact that it was over. Loud cheers could be heard from here and there, but the faces of General Manager Kang Tae-hoon and Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, who led the nning and development team, were dark. So... what will be the aftermath of this quest? Sessfulpletion of the quest. Thanks to that, it was possible topletely finish the carnage that had urred so far, but those who watched the whole process could not be relieved at all. First of all, the Ellis ruled it a draw. Even though the evil camppleted the sess conditions first, the condition satisfaction rate seems to be the result of considering it because the castle camp was superior. [Both camps have satisfied the victory conditions.] [Draw between the castle camp and the evil camp!] [The victory rewards for each camp are adjusted equally.] The ending was too futile to have fought each other to death. However, fortunately, there were no users who were dissatisfied with this. [Dark me Dragon'' has upied the Maroon Kingdom.] [ Unconditional Peace'' is activated in the Maroon Kingdom.] [No country can dere war on the Maroon Kingdom for one year.] [Pandemonium Beings keep an eye on the Maroon Kingdom.] [The Maroon Kingdom will grow stronger as the heart of the evil force.] The ck me Dragon of Darkness, No. 1 in the Warlock Ranking... If all the evil factions gather around the user, there is a high possibility that they will eventually grow into a huge force. It seems Ellis is also trying to give the Maroon Kingdom an advantage in that direction. NPCs necessary for the evil camp''s high-level skills and job advancement reside in Maroon Kingdom. And a n that dreams of bing one in a huge virtuous cycle in which those NPCs grant rted quests and the number of rted jobs increases. Hearing that, executive director Kwon Myeong-han thought of something with a thoughtful expression. Hmm... Well, considering the situation that happened this time, it seems necessary to bnce the castle and the evil faction to some extent... Does a user called the ck me Dragon of Darkness really have the capacity to do that? Well... I got to the top of the rankings as a warlock, so wouldn''t it be pretty good? And it seems that Alice is also trying to directly induce reform through quests for the user. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han muttered to himself after thinking for a moment at the words of General Manager Kang Tae-hoon. A country that is not oppressed and despised for being evil, but rather an empire of evil that reveres power and evil and despises morality and hypocrisy... Well, that''s not a bad concept. The birth of a nation that worships evil. Perhaps in reality, you would have been concerned about the birth of such a nation, but this is a fantasy world full of swords, magic, and monsters that are far from reality. Therefore, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han did not strongly object to the scenario Ellis designed. Rather, it is still weak, but one day I agreed with the expectation that it would y a role as a counterhorse against the Saint Empire, the den of crazy fanatics. Yeah, first of all, put that user of the Dark me Dragon on the list of monitoring targets. Now that he has risen to the position of king, we should prepare to respond in advance when that son does something unbearable. I have already registered. Fortunately, we were able to secure authority over all of the user''s y information, excluding personal information, whether it was a user with a low management level. Haa... the subjects under his management... I dont know what criteria the ratings are judged, but basically, ording to the settings Alice specified, the monitoring department of Arcadia Co., Ltd. I was monitoring the y itself in real time. manager! Watch target #241 has discovered a new dungeon. manager! Surveince target number 4 is carrying out a hidden quest by the chief of Ale Vige. As a result of checking the quest, it is about acquiring rare items. I will upload it as a rted report! The target of surveince is a set of yers who stand out in Arcadia. It''s not a matter of high or low level, but ying in apletely different way from others, touching hidden quests in an original and mysterious way, touching main quest items and NPCs, and unintentionally borated by Arcadia Korean branch staff. Those whopletely distort the story that wasid out and designed. In fact, to the development and nning team members, including General Manager Kang Tae-hun, their list was nothing short of a killing club that made them want to hit the hammer of a permanent van. Anyway, if I y the game, cant I just y normally like everyone else? You keep doing weird things and driving all the games in a crazy direction... Do you think we need to add a use to the gamepany''s terms and conditions that says that strange y will be sanctioned? When asked to deliver an item, they steal the item and run away, lure a monster to death on purpose in an escort mission for an important person, deliver important information to the enemy, and so on. Those who were really good at ruining the quest itself rather than solving it. Because of these people, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han''s hair was turning white day by day. I... but the executive director. why? First of all, the event that we have nned... How about dying the schedule a little considering the contents and timing of the quest? I think this will be more well-received than I thought, but I think a lot that it will be good in a bad way. event? What event...? Director Kwon Myeong-han asked back with an expression as if he couldn''t remember. The event that we decided to promote at thest meeting. The project itself was quite novel and fun, so I expected that it would attract a positive response, but this witch huntpletely changed the situation... I go. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was looking at the details of the event he handed over. It didn''t take long for Executive Director Kwon Myung-han''s eyes to widen and his voice to explode as he was skimming through the details. You crazy bastards! Some bastard created an event like this! Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon yelled at how angry he was and violently threw the paper in his hand. At his reaction, Manager Kang Tae-hun opened his eyes wide as if he was startled. That manager! It was an event that was discussed even before the service opened. Of course, that was before the executive director came to thispany, so you may not know, but I even received confirmation from the president. An event that even received the boss''s ashes. Of course, the situation then and now ispletely different, so the evaluation may be different, but in the current situation, it was clear that this event would not dare evene up with an idea unless you were a kid who was determined to fuck Arcadia. who is this? yes....? I know that I even received the presidents confirmation and that I thought this would be a fun event back then. I''m not trying to do anything, I''m just asking out of curiosity. Quickly tell me what twisted fucking idiot came up with an event like this. I won''t retaliate, but I probably will'', a question that stands out with his full and firm will. However, Manager Kang Tae-hun hesitated for a while with an expression as if he was really embarrassed by that question. That...that''s...the idea that the boss came up with himself... ...what? As if shocked by thepletely unexpected answer, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han could not close his gaping mouth. At that time, the president said...isn''t it okay as an event that everyone can participate in, regardless of level''? An idea that the president, who is the general manager of thepany, came up with himself. Who can answer no to that? In the end, the event was quickly passed amid apuse from everyone. However, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han strongly opposed it, recalling the situation that would happen when this event started. no way! hey! do you have no idea People will love it if we hold an event like this in the current situation! This is obviously on the news, so there are people saying that violence is a problem, that virtual reality can''t be like this! Don''t you know that the atmosphere in the media is hideous now? uh? bang. Everyone is all-stop and waiting! Ill make a deal with the boss ande back! No matter how much he is the president, but thinking that this is not the case no matter how you look at it, executive director Kwon Myeong-han got up from his seat by vigorously hitting the desk. Director Kang Tae-hoon, who had been watching him leave for the president''s office, looked down at the event details of the problem (?) scattered around the desk. [Arcadia Co., Ltd. 1st special event Jukchang Daejeon.] -You and I have one too. Regardless of level, regardless of job, everyone has the same room! Haa... Did you really change jobs for no reason...? Kang Tae-hun, general manager of thepany, failed to resist the lure of the scouting team, who offered him an extremely unconventional high sry. Obviously, the amount of money put into his bank ount every month was iparably higher than that of his previouspany, but he was still experiencing internal conflicts every day. A strange operating policy that makes it difficult to check data every time, saying it is ack of authority. On top of that, the quests that are overturned every day and the big and small incidents that happen without a single day''s rest inside. He was at a breaking point as he tried to cope with all of this and deal with it. Please... I hope the event itself is overturned even now... He uttered his wish, albeit small, as he organized the details of the jumbled Jukchang Daejeon in his empty office. However, contrary to his small wish, this event, which was thoroughly insane from the beginning of the nning, was sprouting as a huge seed that unconditionally brings about a more insane situation. Chapter 49 Chapter 49 New Ability (1) The peaceful Second Continent of Arcadia. However, from the moment Jae-young intervened in the game, strange things started to happen, and people began to feel that the game itself was more and more strange. -Isn''t the slime going crazy and destroying the beginner''s vige? Now it suddenly divides users into two and makes them fight. Are you saying you want to run the game or you want to stop ying? -What the hell is the purpose of a gamepany doing something like this? - Even if you leave it to a real elementary school student, it would be better than this. -If you fuck me like this again, I''ll go visit you to blow up the realpany. A perfect game that seems to be praised as the best even if it stays still. However, when they saw Arcadia''s management and development team constantly doing strange things and making users tired, people naturally cursed at them. To put it bluntly, cursing at the developers has be a topic that is chewed, eaten, tasted, and enjoyed every day in Arpendia. - The management also has to roll like a dog for a month as a ve in the mine once. That way, crazy contracts like that don''t roll around in the game. -They are actually perverts. Thinking of harassing users, you''re probably sitting in a small room giggling? -At this point, we need to verify the thoughts of Arcadia employees. It may be that employees of otherpeting gamepanies are sabotaging on purpose. But nobody knew about them. That all of this was a catastrophe caused by madly snowballing by just one person. [Mission. 2 isplete.] [Measure yer contribution.] - Quest Witch Hunt triggered. -Contributed to the judgment of 49202912 wicked people. - upation of the Maroon Kingdom and transfer of the throne. -The disappearance of the rich argamer ...Jaeyoung''s achievements are starting to be listed tightly. Jae-young was entangled in so many incidents that he was unaware of, but including all the incidents derived from the butterfly effect, the screen would not be enough. [Historical Achievement Changed the situation on the 2nd continent of Arcadia.] [The forces of evil have been strengthened.] [The bnce between good and evil has been bnced.] [You have acquired the title Neutral Seeker''.] [Obtained 210000 Probability You did.] Mission. 2 clear. Even when the Duke of Bergen was killed, only intermediate rewards were given, and the unfinished mission was cleared with the end of this Witch Hunt. The original purpose was to intervene in the fierce political battle within the Maroon royal family, but Jae-young went beyond that andpletely destroyed the Maroon royal family. Perhaps thanks to that, the probability given as a reward was more than expected. As expected... it wasn''t a normal route, but they give you a decent reward for what you''ve done. It was a scenario he hadn''t even expected that the Holy Empire would run amok like this, but thanks to that, the probability he acquired was more than five times the probability he consumed. what? master! Where did you get that probability? ...I can really feel the tremendous causal power. The probability became so full that even Tan and Michael, who were preupied with tapping each other, asked with their eyes wide open. The two continued to inquire with greedy expressions, but Jaeyoung did not have time to answer their questions. [Probability satisfies the minimum requirement.] [Special Ability Probability endowment acquired.] A message indicating that a special ability has been created. Seeing this, Jae-young hurriedly opened the skill window and confirmed a new sparkling special ability. [Granting Probability] You can twist cause and effect by granting probability to non-living objects. As expected, its unkind... The exnation ended with just one phrase, as if telling them to roll and roll themselves to figure out how to use it. Realizing that he had to experiment to see exactly the effect of this ability, Jaeyoung searched his inventory window and pulled out an item. Eh? Why are you bringing it out all of a sudden? A rusty iron sword stained with blood from brutally killing beginners in the past. When I took it out again, Tan looked at me strangely and asked. You''re not trying to fix your old habits and go around smashing rookie adventurers again, right? However, Jaeyoung answered his question in a nonchnt way. Why do I bother doing that? I brought it out because I had something to experiment with. You''re going to experiment...? A rusty iron sword limited to level 10. Taking it out and putting it down on the floor, Jaeyoung touched the handle with one hand and activated his ability. Giving probabilities. A system window that appears at the same time as the ability is manifested. [Probability granted. Target Lv. 10 Rusty iron sword.] [Peek into the object''s characteristics and past..... Sess.] [Required probability: 9000] [Do you want to grant probability?] Seeing the message, Jaeyoung was deeply troubled. An ability that requires an enormous amount of probability of 9000. As you can see just by looking at the transaction with Tan, even with a probability of about 8000, he was happy to bring out unique items from the Demon Realm. The rarity value of the probability was so great, but it was a little unreasonable to blow it with just one experiment. I don''t really need it right now, so I can afford it...'' Jae-young, who would never have done it normally, but the probability he received as a reward for this mission was enormous, so he was able to afford it a little. He agonized between rational reason not to do it and instinctive curiosity to do it, and eventually took the side of curiosity. [Probability is given.] [The setting given to the rusty iron sword'' is shaken .] And as soon as the iron sword absorbed all the energy, it began to shake while emitting red energy. [Blood and rusty iron sword'' will be given a higher rank.] [Blood and rusty iron sword'' will be re-adjusted to an appropriate item.] [ You have acquired the item Blood Sucker''.] For beginners Item Rusted Iron Sword. The rusty iron sword, which was stained with blood from Jaeyoung''s atrocities (?) and took on a slightly reddish color, did not change in appearance from before, but the bloody aura showed off its unusual appearance. What is it? master? What did you just do? That''s a huge probability..... To give it to such a crude weapon... Seeing Jaeyoung pick up the rusty steel sword in wonder, Tan and L looked at him with a shocked expression. hey! If you have the possibility to pour it into something like that, give it to me! Why pour precious probabilities into such rubbish! ...If you need a weapon, tell me. Various and powerful weapons are always waiting for your call in the heavens. Although they spoke different words, Tan and L showed almost the same reaction. The two of them regretted the fact that they poured such precious probability into such a rusty iron sword. However, Jaeyoung smiled evilly when he confirmed the changed ability of the rusty iron sword. [Indulgence in Blood - Only One] A weapon filled with the blood of victims who were sacrificed to the murderer in the past. Transformed and twisted with an unknown force, a stronger power than before istent. - Wear Limit: 10 - Durability: 10000/10000 - Attack Power: 525~650 - Berserker Skill Lv. +2 - Very high chance to apply Bleed effect. -Attack power increases whenever one or more enemies are killed (up to 80%). - Absorbs 30% of the damage dealt to the enemy as life force. -Frenzy effect is activated when HP goes below 20%. Strengthened abilities that are iparable to before. The attack power that was amplified as strongly as the given probability was also attack power, but the additional effects were so good that none of them could be left out. An item that contains only the abilities of a berserker by a berserker of a berserker. But there was another part that was the most fraudulent than that. what? The wearing limit is level 10...? All other stats have changed, but there is only one stat that hasn''t changed. It was the wear level limit. Indulgence in blood, the same level limit as the existing rusty iron sword. Have you ever imagined What would happen if a 10-level beginner was given a weapon with a level simr to that of an 80-level limited rare item. The scene of an unprecedented and unprecedented bnce copse. It was such a ridiculous change that it was obvious that the existence of this item would cause a huge impact just by being disclosed to the public. And seeing this, Jaeyoung had another question. If this is a normal item... how much will the other items change?'' The Demon Cave Destroyer stuck in the inventory like that. Jaeyoung, who took out a unique pickaxe, activated his ability again. Giving probabilities. Uh-uh- A gray aura that spreads around him as soon as the ability is activated. However, unlike before, this energy disappeared as soon as it disappeared after wandering around the demon cave destroyer. [Peeking into the object''s characteristics and past.....Failed.] [There is no attribute to assign to the object.] [Could not assign probability to the object.] Hmm..... This time A message indicating failure is disyed. Although he wasn''t sure exactly what the difference was, Jaeyoung was able to roughly guess the reason after a few tries. The object''s characteristics and past... A demon cave destroyer and a rusty iron sword stained with blood. Both of these items were items Jaeyoung used, but there was a big difference between them. Is this the fact that whether or not a probability can be given depends on the stories intertwined in the past...? Since the item was created, it has passed through the hands of countless people and is intertwined with various stories. Some wield a sword to protect their loved ones, while others wield a sword for revenge. Even with the same sword, the entangled story itself between the sword owned by the one who fights with valor in a fierce battlefield and the one who strikes back cowardly in the back alley is very different. It is the ability to give each item a new rebirth by giving it a proper rank ording to the story umted in the past, that is, the karma umted in the item itself... There were no items in this pile. If this rusty iron sword hadn''t had the blood of thousands of beginners and if it hadn''t been used to shatter the guardian stone that supported the beginner vige, it probably wouldn''t have brought about this change. Hey master! But that iron sword... is something strange? what? As if feeling a strange energy from the iron sword in his hand, Tan strangely twitched his nose and examined the iron sword in Jaeyoung''s hand. No... It''s just a rusty iron sword, but the smell of blood from here... is thick enough to resemble that of a high-ranking vampire... Leaving behind Tan, who seemed curiously curious as if he had noticed the change in the item. Jaeyoung put the item into his inventory. oh! why do you put it in I''ve been watching you for a while! Tan grumbles, blocking Jae-young''s vision as if telling him to take it out again quickly. But Jaeyoung waved his hand and pushed him away. What do you see? Anyway, even if it was, it wouldn''t evenpare to the items you have. And since it''s something to sell anyway, there''s no need to be so interested in it. Eh? sell? that? Tan raises his eyes at the panda''s words and asks. Isnt the owners gold short? I have a lot of money, so why should I trade it for probability? Tan asks with greedy eyes as if he has a good reason to rip off probability. However, Jaeyoung firmly rejected the offer. I dont need money. Its not enough every month anyway, so ites in at a level that is sufficient. No, then why are you selling it? A rusty iron sword that I''ve been using well. However, the iron sword, which was newly reborn after receiving a probability from Jae-young, ended up being put on the auction house without even being able to use it properly. Arent you curious? ....what? Jaeyoung esses the auction house and presses the interface with his finger to register an item. An evil smile is on Jaeyoung''s face. The world''s first and only (Only-one) grade item. And ridiculous stats at the level of breaking the bnce. And what will happen if this item, which only has a level limit of 10, is put up for sale? Chapter 50 Chapter 50 New Ability (2) It''s been 3 months since Arcadia''s Korean branch opened. It is time for users to get used to the game to some extent and the management team to enter a period of stability after the stifling moment at the beginning of the opening. It should have been a long time ago in a normal game, but unfortunately Arcadia''s users and developers couldn''t. Vice manager! A total of 9823 quests were lost as the Maroon royal family copsed. Among the scenarios rted to the Maroon Kingdom, there are 8 that need revision. Consumerints requesting capsule refunds are increasing. Aint has also been filed with the Fair Trade Commission, and a request for cooperation has also been received in the fact-finding investigation. Team Leader! A terrestrial broadcasting station has requested cooperation for coverage of this quest. You say you want to shoot a current affairs documentary, what do you do? If you reject it this time, it seems like they will take it maliciously. We havepleted the bnce improvement n for gender sses such as priests and pdins and evil sses such as warlocks. Please review! It''s a really busy situation. Rather, it is safe to say that the early days of the opening were the most leisurely, and because of the endless incidents and idents these days, the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were literally staying up all night and working overtime like hell every day. Phew.... Everyone is busy. However, as in any organization, there are very few people who drink sweet honey even when everyone is busy. At Arcadia Co., Ltd., there was one peaceful department that was the least involved in these incidents, and that was Arcadia''s nning and economy team. Arcadia''s nning economy team. This department, where you can''t figure out the contents of the work just by looking at the name, was an absurdly created department due to a quarrel within thepany. [Why is there no romance? That''s my time! uh? To find an item, I sold my feet in the town square and wandered around! uh? We need to activate this private transaction. What kind of auction house is this?] [No, manager. Don''t you know how much users hate annoying things these days? I don''t know anything else, but besides individual trading of items, I need to create an integrated auction system. Otherwise, the item transaction itself would be too inefficient!] The development team and management were divided between idealists who pursued another reality that was virtual but no different from reality and realisticists who believed that games should be like games. In the midst of numerous conflicts and fierce political disputes, they eventually achieved a half-and-half victory. [Then, wouldn''t it be better to create an auction house for the efficiency of the transaction... by considering the opposing opinions , monitoring and analyzing transactions in real time within the auction system so that fraudulent transactions can be blocked in advance?] The auction house system and the newly created Arcadia nning and Economics Team. The nning and economy team was an early department that existed from the time the service was opened, but the auction house was not a very active system from the beginning of the opening until now. why? Are you bored? Kang Yul stared nkly at other departments that were busy walking around with bored eyes. When the warm-hearted middle-aged team leader put his hand on his shoulder and asked, he replied with a quick nce as if he was embarrassed. no. I''m bored. He tried hard to say no, but the team leader said as if he knew everything, drinking the coffee he had in his hand. Your heart understands. My ssmates who came in with me are busy running around in other departments and working hard on something, but I don''t feel like I''m doing anything in particr, just sitting at my desk and spending time. Not very pleasant. The words of the team leader who can feel the social age. To him who seemed to understand his situation, Yul expressed his honest feelings. Honestly, doesnt the auction house system work well on its own? I dont know why we need to be monitoring it in real time like this. A team established with the goal of detecting, tracking, confirming, and sanctioning abnormal transactions in the auction house. However, since there had been nothing worth mentioning so far, other departments treated him as a nerd a long time ago, and he was ridiculed everywhere he went. It was Yul whose passion for work was gradually waning. It doesnt. But thats how it was until now, wont it change in the future? yes....? Think about the status of this Arcadia that the world sees. Arcadia, the first virtual reality game. In addition to this first title, the public used to attach another title. Another perfect reality, Arcadia.'' A highly embodied virtual reality that is unmatched. In this, not just simplebat and hunting, everything is embodied. Politics, production, economy, war, diplomacy, art, history, culture.... All of them, including even religion, are meticulously woven and organically connected, just like reality. A world with a degree of freedom that is so perfect that you can realize everything you do in reality here. That''s why the team leader''s eyes were looking at the distant future, not the present. Gold, the currency used in this world. Considering the influence this gold has, the day maye when it is recognized as another currency that can exert a huge influence on the national level beyond just game money. Oh no way... that''s too absurd... If that day everes. Yul tried to ignore it by saying that it was nonsense, but the team leader interrupted him and asked with a very serious face. How important will our role be in tracking and monitoring the flow and movement of all gold in Arcadia? ..... Yul fell silent after hearing his words. Will such a future evere? His expression was full of doubts, but the team leader smiled and continued. Sure, right now we''re monitoring the auction house system, but I''m sure. As time goes on and this Arcadia grows further and most of the world''s poptiones to the level where they enjoy this game, maybe our work will expand further than now. I cant believe that... Yul listened to him and asked the team leader carefully as if he had an idea popping up in his head. okay. Maybe we will grow into the Ministry of nning and Economy'', which is a key backbone for Arcadia''s mary policy. no, that''s definitely going to be the case. We are the only department in thispany that is in charge of this kind of work right now. At the words of the team leader, Yul imagined a future full of power. However, he was forced to return to reality when he saw a notification popping up on the screen in dark red letters. [warning. Bid prices for certain items skyrocket.] [Circuit break activated. Temporarily suspended bidding.] Um...? What''s going on? No..... It looks like the price of one item has skyrocketed..... Wait a minute..... The team leader pointed his chin at hisputer at the loud sound and asked, and Yul received a warning notification popping up loudly. I checked and tilted my head. uh....? Team leader, arent there 8 item grades in total? yes? There are a total of 8, from normal to mythical. But why? At the team leader''s reply as if it was obvious, Yul looked at the items on the monitor and frowned. Did there ever be a ss called unique? only? What are you talking about? Common - Magic - Rare - Rare - Unique - Epic - Legendary - Mythic. Items ssified into a total of 8 grades. There was no item grade called unique'' anywhere, but one item that came up on the auction house was showing off its appearance by boasting a non-existent grade. [Indulgence in Blood - Only One] A weapon filled with the blood of victims who were sacrificed to the murderer in the past. Transformed and twisted with an unknown force, a stronger power than before istent. - Wear Limit: 10 - Durability: 10000/10000 - Attack Power: 525~650 - Berserker Skill Lv. +2 - Very high chance to apply Bleed effect. -Attack power increases whenever one or more enemies are killed (up to 80%). - Absorbs 30% of the damage dealt to the enemy as life force. -Frenzy effect is activated when HP goes below 20%. What the hell is this? The team leader''s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out when he saw the description of the only grade item on the screen shown by Yul. What is the attack power and why are there so many additional effects? No, the level limit is 10? Where the hell did this iteme from? A weapon that destroys the bnce at a level that cannot be easily understood even if you try to understand with a broad mind what kind of kid made it. But, funny enough, the appearance of this ridiculous fraudulent item was very ordinary. It looks like a rusty iron sword from the outside, but... Could it be a bug? What is a bug? You dont know. I just made the settings, but it could be an item made by mistakenly putting the wrong data on the image of the rusty steel sword? Whether it''s a bug or a mistake, that''s not our concern. Anyway, it''s a matter for the bnce team or nning team to handle on their own. First of all, what is the bid price for this item now? A circuit break that is automatically applied when the price soars in a short period of time. The fact that this was triggered meant that thepetition among people to take this item had already begun. That''s... It''s currently 5231 gold. What what? 5231 gold? Considering that 1 gold is traded at 100,000 won in Korean currency, it is arge amount of money that exceeds 500 million won in Korean won. Unlike other games, I expected that there would be many so-called wallet warriors in virtual reality, but I didn''t know that it was already pouring an apartment in Seoul like this. - I can''t stand this. -I think I can just look at this one item and change my job to a berserker? -The wear limit is 10? No, beginners wearing that will just sweep everything. -What is the only level above that? It''s the first time I''ve seen it..... The bulletin board has already be noisy just by looking at the item performance. In addition, fiercepetition continued to ur behind the scenes of people who learned that this incredible item was for sale. Oh, Mr. Yang. How much can you raise with cash in a hurry? Um... is it possible to get a credit loan... Unlimited! We will give you unlimited funding, so bring that item unconditionally. I broke my deposit today. Marriage will do something in the afterlife. The tearful struggle of wallet warriors struggling to obtain an item is in full swing. However, as a member of the nning and economy team, I could not stand by and watch this overheatedpetition. First, deliver the information to the relevant departments and temporarily suspend the transaction. yes? But if that happens, the usersints wont be a joke, right? A situation where there are hundreds of thousands of people who have already checked the property and even bid. Of course, there might be some people who just wanted to stab it, but among them, there would be people who were determined to secure this item by collecting funds by taking out loans, so it was too much to stop the transaction prematurely. Is that why you want to trade non-grade items from unknown sources? Rather, it makes things moreplicated. I''ll have to stop it when it''s up for sale now. I''ll take responsibility for now, so stop. ....All right. Yul believed in the team leader''s firm sense of responsibility andpletely stopped bidding on items. And the content of the item was delivered to the relevant department, but the situation did not subside easily. That''s also because no developer or nner in the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. was aware of this ridiculous bnce dung item. Chapter 51 Chapter 51 New Ability (3) Appearance of a unique grade item named Blood Addiction''. That was a big issue for users, but the nickname of the seller who registered the item caused more controversy. [Seller: Dex] Dex? Are you talking about that dex? why? Who is that? You dont even know Dex? One man invincible! Youre a reclusive genius gamer who makes fun of pro gamers like theyre children! ...I dont know, do you? Hya.... I was so sad when the League of Legends ended, but when I was wondering where I was going to dive, I realized that I came over to Arcadia. ...is that such a fuss? The reaction of a friend who is overly enthusiastic about someone he doesn''t even know well and his eyes shine as if he''s excited. He couldn''t understand it, but the status of Dex''s name among game lovers was huge and brilliant. After seeing what Dex has done in other games, you can''t help but be a fan, right? A true legend. Completely destroying a huge guild that seemed to dominate the entire game server alone,pletely clearing a dungeon that was reputed to be absolutely impossible to attack, and single-handedly defeating a world boss that was difficult to attack even with 100 people working together. He left behind achievements worthy of being talked about as legends by everyone. People who saw the seller''s nickname registered in the auction house started to go crazy. The return of the legend of Dex. * * * [The item''s bidding has been suspended by the administrator.] [Please contact the customer center for this information.] However, the main character, who is enthusiastic about it, frowned at the message that suddenly appeared. what? Why is the bidding stopped? A sale that went up to a price of over 5500 gold. However, the bid price was nowhere to be found, and the item had disappeared without a trace, with only a cancetion history remaining. Evaporation of an item. However, Jaeyoung, who confirmed through the message that this was the work of the gamepany, clicked his tongue. Tsk... Is it because the item performance is too fraudulent? I thought they would intervene at some level, but they handle it this way. Jae-young roughly guessed it, but didn''t know that he would prescribe such an extreme drug. Of course, he himself knew that the item itself boasted ridiculous performance, but he didn''t expect that he wouldpletely freeze the transaction and collect the item in this way, so he thought it was a little too much. master? Why is your face so rotten all of a sudden? Tan tilts his head at Jaeyoung, who suddenly frowns. Jaeyoung said to him, waving his hand as if it was nothing. not a big deal. Just because something bothered me... I''m going out for a while, so don''t fight with El and stay calm. Every time they disconnect ande back, Tan and L are fighting each other for a long time. Jaeyoung was nagging each other to fight moderately, but the fight between the two never seemed to stop. Why are you guys so hypocritical? Admit it honestly. You guys aren''t being nice, you''re just pretending to be nice. Hey, is it an undeniable truth and fact that we are much nobler than those devils who cant even pretend to be nice? hey! Are all angels noble? Don''t I know the ugly things you guys did? Even though they are worse than us, they pretend to be clean by themselves. Shut up, no matter what, its true that we are better than you guys. You damn chicken! These two are tapping each other with a slightly different but simr repertoire each time. It wasn''t a life-or-death decision, however, but after watching the two growling, Jaeyoung ended the connection. And soon, I made a call through Arcadia''s customer center written on the capsule. Without knowing at all how things were going on there. * * * What the hell are you saying if you dont give me any relevant information? Oh Jong-su, the team leader of Arcadia''s nning and economy team. He questioned, unable to hide his bewilderment at the instructions given by the higher department. Have you not seen the performance of the item? It''s not something you can normally acquire. We need to check the y history and user information to see how we acquired it, and make sure there are no problems, but we can''t give you anything... Isn''t that telling us not to work? Yang Chang-sik, manager of Arcadia Operations Division 1, who oversees the nning and economy team. He let out a deep sigh as if he had a headache and exined it to him again. So... it''s impossible to ess information about the user named Dex from our side at all? Won''t you give me the information I have now? They said they couldnt give it to you because they had no information to give! Restriction of ess to Information. It was one of the most frequent problems encountered when working at Arcadia Co., Ltd. In particr, regarding user information, I don''t know what standard it was, but the information ess rights for each user werepletely different. Especially Dex... I personally checked that user, and the restriction on ess to information ispletely prohibited. As well as personal information, I couldnt ess even the users status window. That means... User information that even his boss, General Manager Yang Chang-sik, cannot ess. There are very few cases simr to that, but it was not non-existent, so Team Manager Oh Jong-soo was able to guess the meaning. okay. I''m not sure, but it''s probably a user who got a hidden ss. Or a ranker. There are countless jobs in Arcadia. Among them, there were hidden jobs that opened only when certain conditions were met. That... who is it? ck me Dragon of Darkness this time? Did you know that monitoring has be extremely difficult since he changed his job to the hidden ss? They still dont even know how they got to the hidden ss. It is a restricted state in which even the y log cannot be checked until the person himself discloses it. Therefore, the management team as well as numerous development teams were having difficulties in figuring out the circumstances of the situation. Then this user named Dex is also a hidden ss user? Yeah... From a rough guess, he looks like a production user. Judging from the fact that they created an item grade that didnt exist before. An item of the only grade that was neither developed nor nned. However, seeing that the only (Only-One) grade was newly created through the sudden update notice, I could be sure that this update was probably triggered by a user called Dex. First of all, since there are still inquiries rted to the suspension of the auction, please let go of the items you stopped bidding on. I... that''s... At the manager''s request to release him again, team leader Oh Jong-soo evaded his words with a puzzled expression. what? why? Manager Yang Chang-sik asks with anxious eyes at Team Leader Oh Jong-soo''s reaction. When he heard everything about him, he cried out in amazement. The item was confiscated? Why are you taking it without user consent! No... First of all, it''s obviously an item with ridiculous performance, so of course it''s an item made with a bug... Ha..... no ha... Confiscation of the item. One of the most powerful powers the management has, but one that cannot be wielded at will. The fact that the item that was already being sold at auction was taken out at will beyond taking it down was also an issue that could escte the matter if it was taken as a problem. How do I do it? First... log in to the game and send a messenger to that user. No problem, I''ll send you the item again, so where are you now..... Beep- I was talking about the phone suddenly ringing. The manager stopped talking and picked up the receiver. hello. [hello. This is Han Mi-yeon from the customer center team. Is Team Leader Oh Jong-soo there?] Yes, I am in a meeting right now. What are you doing...? [A customer is connecting the phone..... He said that the item registered in the auction house had evaporated and he wanted to speak directly with the person in charge, so I called to confirm... You were in a meeting. sorry. Then ask me to call againter.....] Wait! Wait! Yang Chang-sik and team manager Oh Jong-soo, who were listening to the phone call in speaker mode, shouted at the same time, regardless of who said it first. Then they exchanged nces, and then spoke in a calm voice. Call me, please. We will talk on our side. [Ah yes. Then I''ll connect you. Wait a minute.....] In response to the strong reaction of the two, Miyeon answered in an embarrassed voice and handed the phone over. The call switched with a brief melody. Then a blunt male voice began to be heard. [Hello?] Yes! Hello, this is Arcadia''s operation team. He said that he had an inquiry with us... [Yes. The item auction was canceled and disappeared altogether, but the message said that the administrator did it, so contact the customer center.] Ah! Yes, about that part. It was because the performance of the item was performance, so there were a few things to check. You don''t have to worry because we''ll return it to you as soon as that part is confirmed. [What confirmation?] Yes.... First of all, can you briefly tell us how you obtained the item? Users with limited ess to information. That''s why Yang Chang-sik, the general manager, considered the call this time as a golden opportunity. It''s easier to respondter if I dig up as much information as possible.'' As a user who has already created-destroying fraudulent items, he tried to find out as much information as possible about how to create such items, but unfortunately, his opponent was not a very easygoing person. [...Why do you ask me that?] Yes...? Manager Yang Chang-sik was speechless at thepletely unexpected reaction. [Isnt it something you can learn about the acquisition path of an item just by checking my y record? I don''t think you need to ask me about that.....] Uh... that''s it. First of all, I have to determine whether or not the item was created due to a bug, so I ask... [I thought the reason for forcibly recalling the item was because it was just too fraudulent and I thought selling it was over the line. ... You are saying that you retrieved the item because you couldn''t tell if it was a bug or if it was a normal item.] No, that''s not it..... Manager Yang Chang-sik feels like he''s stripped naked whenever he says something. However, the person on the phone asked in a quiet voice as if he had noticed. [That means.... Are you saying that even the gamepany can''t check the record of my y?] A question that hits the mark. In response to that question, Manager Yang Chang-shik unknowingly strongly denied the fact. Could that be? It''s all confirmed and we know about it! Does it make sense that we can''t confirm that? [is it so? Then what kind of job am I ying?] ..... Yang Chang-sik, general manager, had nothing to say about that question. Knowing for himself that if he spoke more, he would only be more pitiful, so he twitched his mouth, but couldn''t say anything more. [Well... I''ll get it right now. I came to get this item back. I got a very good piece of information. Enough.....] Wait a minute! He is about to end the call leaving room for something ominous toe. Manager Yang Chang-sik hurriedly called and stopped him, trying to think of something to say, but nothing came to mind. [why? Do you have anything else to say?] That''s it... Aren''t you taking the items we retrieved? A well-crafted question. But in the receiver, he giggled and hung up the phone with one really disturbingst word. [Ah... just take that. You can make more simr ones and sell them.] Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Jae- young inquired about item evaporation through Dex''s Prestige customer center. He was able to glean some information from a brief conversation with the staff involved. I don''t know what it is, but I''m sure they don''t know anything about me... When Jae-young first called the customer center, the reaction he expected from them was a polite threat. I know I got the hidden ss, but should I do it in moderation?'' It''s okay to make a fraudulent item, but selling it is a bit over the line.'' An ironic situation where he knows his y but cannot really touch it because there is nothing to be a problem with. So, until now, Jae-young thought that he knew all about his atrocities at the gamepany, but he was just watching, but when he realized that they were trying to get information through him somehow, Jae-young got confused. It''s a situation where gamepany employees can''t ess user information... I don''t know if it''s a situation that applies equally to everyone, but maybe the information that Arcadia''s management can ess is more limited than he thinks. could make an inference. Well... then it makes a little sense. How can you make such a ridiculous job and stand by the sidelines? Bard of Anarchy. A job that openly revealed that the developer made it to y a game, and the very existence itself is the end. If you learn about Jaeyoung''s history of causing major idents in Arcadia through various incidents with this job, it would probably not be enough to hit the permanent van dozens of times if it were a normal operator. But rather than hitting the van, you get more benefits... However, despite such confusion, rather than sanctions, rather than sanctions, a structure of a virtuous cycle that bes stronger by acquiring more probability has been created. Jaeyoung thought about various things in his head for a while, then shook his head and murmured. Well... Now that it''s like this, it means that we can work with more peace of mind. Perhaps, if Arcadia''s development team had heard of it, Jae-young would not hesitate to say something that wouldn''t have been enough even if he grabbed his cor and shook it in anger. After a long time, he started to check thetest issue after searching Arpandia. -The forces of good and evil are fiercely opposed. Which faction will you choose? - Ranking No. 1 ck me Dragon of Darkness. The first user to be the king! What is the truth? -The 3rd ce in the guild ranking, the Red Demon Dragon. Level 120 Field Boss Hellhound Sess! Hmm.... The growth rate of users is much faster than I thought. The second continent of Arcadia began to appear one after another after a while since the game was opened. Considering that even the US users who started the service for the first time had not even reached level 100 in less than three months, it was clear that Korean users were chasing them at a truly frightening speed. Well... it''s a story that doesn''t apply to me. Jaeyoung''s character whose level system has already been deleted. Because of that, he couldn''t get the level-up bonus he should have received, so the stat gap was gradually widening with other users. But Jaeyoung wasn''t particrly worried about that part. It is because the strong god skill he acquired can easily tear the gap, and the strongmen of the heaven and the demon realms have always been waiting for Jae-young to be chosen. Is probability also the answer... However, what is needed to gain and maintain this power is probability. Jaeyoung was confident that he would not be easily defeated no matter who came if he had sufficient probability. However, the problem was that it was extremely difficult to acquire that probability. While he was wandering around the bulletin board of Arpendia, thinking deeply in his head, a post exposed at the top caught his eye. -Celebrating the release of Arcadia Korean server! A special event is held! hmm? event....? Jaeyoung, who had never heard of an event being held, tilted her head and clicked on the shiny post at the top of the screen. And a dazzling image appeared on the screen. Seeing this, Jaejoong''s face showed a look of bewilderment. What the hell is this...? Jaeyoung nkly stares at the image with an expression that really doesn''t know how to react. He stared intently at the title of the event, which was marked in arge, stimting and passionate red color. [You too! I have a room too! Everyone is equal in one room! The 1st Jukchang Daejeon held!] A picture with a handsome and pretty male and female character, along with the red title reminiscent of blood. However, in contrast to their beautiful appearance, each of them held bamboo spears made of green bamboo in their hands. what....? Are you really crazy? A bamboo spear slightly stained with blood. The picture of him licking it with a killer smile was truly grotesque. And it was not just Jaeyoung who felt that way, most of them had simrments, and thement section had already been smashed. -Jukchang? LOL. spewed - Whoever nned this event is a spy. Not running the game, but ruining it. -Is this old? Are you really doing this? -Jukchang! Bamboo spear! -It''s a revolution!!!! Raise the bamboo spear, people! - No..... Is this really a n made in someone''s head? -Why hahahahaha. It''s fresh and fun. People who are serious about putting this out as an event and swear at the gamepany. People who shake their heads saying that gamepanies have gone crazy after all. And thement section where people shouting revolution, shouting bamboo spears, and enthusiastic people gathered together and became a piece of shit. However, after reading through the contents of the event, Jaeyoung thought it was quite interesting. [Participation papers for the event will be moved to a special space prepared for the event. And the struggle for survival with a bamboo spear begins.] Items, stats, and skills are allowed, but invincibility that can only be killed with an attack using a bamboo spear. It was clear that it was an event that everyone could enjoy, regardless of high or low level, in that it was a survival battle in which several skills were used auxiliaryly and bamboo spears were required. -But the reward is an open fraud? -I know? Giving you one item you want... If you''re lucky enough to catch a high ranker, isn''t it great? -It''s a no risk high return. I must participate in this A much bigger reward than expected. It was none other than to give the final survivor one desired item. [When you be thest survivor of the Great War, you will receive one of the items you killed as a reward. However, don''t worry too much about not being robbed of items. The items you own are safe.] It is not that you will drop an item, but that you will copy one of the items possessed by users you killed and give it as a reward. It was an event that smelled like it was trying to deliberately target rankers with good items and give beginners a chance to grow quickly. - It''s all over. I will show you the fear of bamboo spears. -It was really hard because of the couples these days, but it worked out. -Everyone is equal in front of the bamboo spear! Bamboo spear! Bamboo spear! - I will take the event reward. Good job everyone. Those who are already zing hot and eagerly reveal their will to participate in the war. While everyone was drinking kimchi soup excitedly, thinking about winning the Jukchang Daejeon, Jaeyoung started thinking about something in his head while looking at the detailed schedule of the event. The event takes ce in 3 rounds..... In the 1st round, progress until 1000 people survive on a huge map that can amodate an unlimited number of people. In the second round, proceed until 100 out of 1000 survive. Thest 3 rounds are a Battle Royale event that continues until only 1 person out of 100 survives. To win in a situation like this... you need to be prepared? While muttering to himself, Jaeyoung put on a look that was lost in memories. Battle Royale. Many-to-many battles in the middle of a vast map with no allies and enemies on all sides. In a situation where there are no allies, basic physicals must be supported to survive among enemies scattered everywhere and win the final victory, but numerous strategies and the ability to quickly judge the situation are required in the process. And Jaeyoung fell in love with battle royale games in the past and spent quite a bit of time in inte cafes during his school days. Should I loosen my hands for the first time in a while? Pudeudeuk. Perhaps feeling nostalgic, Jaeyoung untied his hands and yed a game he had enjoyed in the past. War-Ground, an unlimited survival battle royale game. This game, which once dominated a generation in theputer age, was a hugely popr survival game where one yer survives against 99 enemies. Although the number of users has decreased considerably since the release of virtual reality, the game still maintains its existence and is popr with people. Jaeyoung also gained quite a reputation here before he fell into the League of Legends, so when the notification that he logged into the game popped up, a huge reaction immediately poured out. [Dex connected to channel 17-2.] -??? Dex? -omg? Dex-sama, are you online right now? -and! oh my god! How much is this! sir! do you remember me It tastes like miso beans! -what? Are youing back? -Would you like to y with me? I can''t even remember who it is, but I''m pretending to be friendly, and I''m sending whispers to y games together. Dozens of whispers quickly filled Jaeyoung''s chat window. Uh.... It''s still the same here... A carpet bombardment of whispers that had often been poured out before. Just looking at the number of messages piled up in an instant was enough to make Jaeyoung look sick of it, and he shook his head. Even though its been almost two years since they folded, why are these humans so good at firepower? Jaeyoung grumbled at the frighteningly maniacal reactions of the people, but in fact, Jaeyoung''s status in this War Ground game was bigger than he thought. - Dex is a god. Truly victorious in a 1 vs. 99 battle, he is truly a god of war. -Have you seen the y video? Killing 14 people with one grenade? - The design is really artistic. The route through which the poison gas spreads, predicting like a ghost and cutting off only those who move the base step by step..... Hey..... -Deckmen~~! I can''t believe I''ll win first ce today! Dex is truly an invible being. Users who all praised him to the point of fanaticism. -Hey, what on earth is Dex so great about? In the case of beginner users who do not know much about DEX, there were negative people who did not like these appearances, but those who witnessed the legend of DEX had no choice but to praise him. -You know War Ground is a game where 100 users fight each other, right? It''s called 1 vs 99, but the rest are also enemies, so in a way, it''s not really a 1 vs 99 battle, War Ground. However, only once in this multiyer battle game has everyone been allied. - There was a time when 99 people came together and signed an alliance to grab a Dex. At that time, there was a time when a 99-member anti-DEX alliance was formed against one Dex, do you know how that game turned out? 99 people united as one under the will to kill Dex. However, Dex killed all the allies one by one with his overwhelming physicality and ghostly strategy, and eventually survived as thest survivor. And tens of thousands of users who watched the y in real time gave him a title. God of War Dex''. He descended on the battlefield of War Ground again. To prepare for future events in Arcadia. Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Jukchang Daejeon (1) Special event to celebrate the opening of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Jukchang Daejeon. The day before the start of this event, rumors that the nner made it on drugs were rampant. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han was having a small dinner party with his confidant Kang Tae-hun, and was unfiltering the resentment he had buried in his heart. Hey Taehoon Kang. Do you think this makes sense now? Chi profit. meat being grilled. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, whose face was flushed red, probably after drinking, was talking to Manager Kang Tae-Hoon with a twisted tone. What is a bamboo spear? uh? Isnt the operation a mess because there are crazy idiots around who say this is fun? Those who were prepared for a do-or-die battle and shouted their opposition to the event called Jukchang Daejeon. But isn''t it the military andpanies where the ranks are gangsters? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon strongly objected, but he did not dare to go against the will of his direct superior, President Lee Mi-yeon. Aigoo... I can understand your thoughts, Mr. What do I do though? The boss says he likes it..... And isn''t CEO Lee Mi-yeon the one who owns 1% of thepany? You thought it was all positive for the game and prepared it..... Bang. This bastard... You are just like the others! How can I live my life with confidence when I live only as a yes-man like that! uh? Haa... what can I do? Still, there is no such thing as thispany. With an honest heart, Manager Kang Tae-Hoon agreed with Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon. Ifmon sense says this isn''t a crazy event, then he''s crazy...'' An event outsidemon sense that ordinary people can''t even try to understand. However, the event that was really promoted because of people like Gan Shin-bae, who praised the novelty and goodness, led by President Lee Mi-yeon, was already approaching D-day, receiving great interest, concern, and ridicule from users. Ah...if only I hadn''t flinched at his scouting offer. At the time ofpany establishment of Arcadia Co., Ltd. The conditions thrown at famous Korean gamepanies byrge-scale headhunters dispatched from the United States were a huge topic. It is a program for children''s education that provides support for study abroad expenses as well as a light annual sry. In addition, 100% guaranteed medical insurance, living expenses, and official residence support were so tempting that even employees at the executive level were tempted to fall for them. I told you to be a dragons tail rather than a snakes head... Manager Kang Tae-hun smiled bitterly as he picked up a ss of wine and murmured, facing executive director Kwon Myeong-han, who fell asleep snoring. He was not so big in the past, but as a vice president of a medium-sized gamepany, he led major projects within thepany with great authority. But now he has the title of general manager, but he has be a scarecrow with little ess to Arcadia''s data. Unlike the past, when they ran around with great authority and responsibility, althoughcking, the present has gained material abundance and stability, but has lost practical authority. Director Kang Tae-hoon emptied his ss while asking himself the ultimate question of which time was happier. He seemed to be drinking more bitterly today. * * * On the day of the Jukchang Daejeon. All users, including Jaeyoung, saw a magnificent video that appeared as soon as they connected to Arcadia. [Finally, the festival of fighting was held. A battlefield full of blood and struggle.] A video featuring a muscr giant dressed as if he were about to shout Sparta. Like a fighter preparing for a campaign, he mmed his shield with his sword and shouted to Jaeyoung in a solemn voice. [You! Are you ready to jump into the battlefield for glory and victory!] A video that makes your heart feel magnificent just by watching it. Then, a selection window popped up in front of his eyes. [Would you like to participate in the event Jukchang Daejeon? Y/N] -If you ept participation, you will be moved to the event-only map. Jaeyoung presses ept without hesitation. At the same time, he could feel the world around him changing rapidly. Pang Pang Pang! The sound of firecrackers resounding somewhere. Undoubtedly, Jaeyoung, who had been in a small vige just a moment ago, was ced in the middle of a huge ce where a festival seemed to be in full swing. Wee to Fantastic Ind! My name is Receptionist Lisa! A cute-looking NPC dressed as a maid. She approached Jaeyoung first and greeted him with a friendly smile. What are you doing here? A space full of people chattering here and there. Jaeyoung imagined a bloody fight with a bamboo spear, but Jaeyoung tilted his head slightly at the people eating and drinking happily without any signs of that on the outside. This is Fantastic Ind, a fantasy ind where a 24-hour festival is held. It hosts a different themed parade every day and is famous for its delicious food and beautiful beaches. Is this your first visit to this ind? Jaeyoung nodded his head at her question, a smile that could not be erased from his face. Then take your time and look around. You will probably find plenty of things to do. Oh, everything on this ind is free, so don''t be shy and enjoy it to your heart''s content! Lisa goes somewhere with a wink in her eyes. Jaeyoung left her behind and looked around. and! oh my god! It tastes so much better than eating it in this barbecue reality! Even if you eat here, you wont gain weight, right? Here you go! Bring me each one of the menus here. hey! Awesome! There''s a gryphon rental store over there. They say you can fly on it! Hyaa... the parade sisters here... are so pretty..... Darling? What did you just say? Eh... Oh no..... Shall we go see the magic tarot? Fantastic Ind. Just like the meaning of its name, many people were already having fun on this ind, which provides fantastic things to do. Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Whoaaaagh! Higher! A real amusement park is a world full of realistic and thrilling experiences. A world where you can satisfy your desires by eating the food you want to eat without having to worry about gaining weight or worrying about your health. Seeing people enjoying various things to y in this virtual reality, Jaeyoung could really feel that this world is changing rapidly in the flow of innovation and change. At this rate, all travel agencies will have to close their doors..... It seemed that all of the airline idents and travel idents had to lower the shutters from here, but suddenly a loud sound came from behind Jaeyoung. Queueek! Where else are you! Hmm... It''s a heterogeneous space. It''s not the human world... but it''s not the spirit realm or the phantom realm... it''s apletely unfamiliar dimension of another world..... Suddenly, a crack in the space opened behind Jae-young, and two gumballs, Tan and L, protruded. The two appeared tearing up the space and looked around with strange eyes. ...how the hell did you guys get here? Even if the owner is not interested, shouldnt you take care of the rtionship if it is a rtionship signed with a familiarity contract? What if you disappear without a word? It''s a bit over the line to go to another dimension. As a guardian angel, protecting the contractor is a sacred duty. I came here to fulfill that duty. Two beings that appeared splendidly by tearing up even the space. However, those who passed by Jae-young, who could not recognize them, were busy going their own way without any reaction. Rather than that, where the hell is this, owner, and how did you end up in a ce like this? It''s strange... If such a huge dimension exists, there''s no way we wouldn''t know about it... An event area full of adventurers. The two, who had existed since the beginning of Arcadia''s numerous dimensions, were looking back and forth with curious eyes in a heterogeneous space they had never seen before. Suddenly, a person came up to Jaeyoung and started talking to him. Hmm... Hey? yes....? A female user wearing a blue wizard outfit. She looked at Jaejoong with twinkling eyes and asked. Excuse me for the first meeting... Is this your hidden ss? ...? A question thates in without a hitch. Jaeyoung was taken aback by the question from a user he had never met before, but soon put on a calm expression. However, she said with a strange smile, as if she had confirmed the subtle reaction she showed in that moment. Huh.... that''s right. Seeing her reaction as if she was convinced that what was just a guess was true, Jaeyoung also asked directly. ...how did you know? Who wouldnt expect it to appear tearing up space like that? Being a hidden ss is obvious. Eh? what? did you see that how? ...Thats strange. Ordinary humans would never recognize us... Tan and L were taken aback by her words. As the two muttered with their eyes full of bewilderment and doubt, she tilted her head and narrowed her eyes as she looked behind Jaeyoung''s back. The two beings after that are... spirits? no is it redemption? I can''t see it exactly... Is it a summoning hidden ss? The existence of Tan and L, which no one except Jaeyoung has been aware of until now. Until they revealed themselves, no one could recognize their existence, but the mysterious female user in front of them was exactly aware of the existence of the two. wow! Isnt that person over there the No. 2 Starlight Witch? oh my god! is it real wow! Who is that person with you? I don''t know... Is this the first time I''ve seen it? Isnt it another ranker by any chance? Crowds flocked to the cry of someone famous or not. In an instant, Jaeyoung became trapped in the middle of a crowd of noisy people. Oh... Im sorry. I just wanted to ask out of curiosity, but I got peoples attention for no reason. A female yer scratching her cheek as if in trouble. She bowed her head and greeted Jaeyoung. First, let me introduce myself. Im Ste, a wizard user who ys Arcadia with the hidden ss Starlight Witch. Witch of the Stardust. Recently gaining huge poprity in Arfandia, she was the second most powerful yer in the rankings. Looking at the beings who are difficult to grasp even with my eyes of truth, they seem to be hidden powers.... Eyes like shining stars. Strangely, unlike other users, her eyes, which were exceptionally bright, were looking directly at Tan and L, who were fluttering and flying behind Jaeyoung''s back. hey! Ste! Are you here to participate in this Jukchang Daejeon? Sir! Can''t you let me lose? I am also a wizard user, but I want a good item. Please take a screenshot with me! Is it because she is a ranker who has a beauty that anyone can say is pretty and has a hidden ss? Ste smiled broadly at the endless requests from the people who came and left after leaving a strange word to Jaeyoung before going to meet the users. Ill be looking forward to seeing how he ys when the game startster. See you again. ...What is that fucking human female? Hmm... to see through our cognitive impairment... you''re a nasty human being. Tan and L red at Ste''s back with displeased expressions as if their pride had been scratched at the fact that their cognitive impairment had not worked. For some reason, Jaeyoung felt that this event would not go smoothly. Chapter 54 Chapter 54 The Battle of Jukchang (2) Event Map Fantastic Ind. People were having a good time on this huge ind, which could be said to be a paradise for entertainment. [Now everyone. Did everyone eat, drink, and y happily?] Until the appearance of the goblin that suddenly appeared. What is that...? goblin....? A dwarf full of fluffy hair. On his seemingly cute appearance, two horns, the symbol of a goblin, sprouted out of his head. [If you waited until now... Roughly, all those who want to participate in this battle must have gathered, right?] A goblin checking the time with arge pocket watch stretched out somewhere. He shouted to everyone as he floated in the middle of the ind. [Then, lets start the first round of the Jukchang Daejeon. Shall we get rid of all irrelevant things then?] A goblin snaps his fingers saying he will start a bamboo spear battle. Then, in an instant, the topography of the ind began to change. Koo Goo Goo Pce. What! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...! Restaurants and stalls where you could eat and drink disappear in an instant, and bushes and trees grow quickly due to a tectonic shift. While everyone was watching, the fantasy ind overflowing with entertainment quickly turned into a wild nature itself. Wiing. [You have acquired the event item Bamboo Spear.] And a status message that appears in front of you. Jaeyoung took out a spear of green bamboo, which was not there before, from the inventory window and checked the detailed stats. [Jukchang] A spear made of carved bamboo. It has an aura that symbolizes the equality of all people. -The target stabbed with authenticity is instantly killed. -Defense Completely ignores magic defense. A weapon that is simple and neat, but has tremendous additional effects. Apart from Jaeyoung, I could hear the mor of people holding green bamboo in their hands. Wow, its a real fraudulent item. With this, I can send the number 1 in the rankings to the Nether Road in one shot, right? Aaaaaaaaaa! Bamboo spear! Jukchang! This is it! This is the moment of revolution! You fucking wise bastards! An ind where you can hear the loud cries of the radicals who cherished the spirit of bamboo spears. Until now, everyone who had been peacefully enjoying their entertainment was scattered around Jaeyoung, shouting bamboo spears and crying out for equality for all people. die! this guy! Without any warning, a user right next to Jaeyoung suddenly stabbed him with a bamboo spear. The moment Jaeyoung tried to react and prepare for this, he suddenly split in half and copsed. what....? A mysterious user who fades into gray and disappears. As Jaeyoung looked down at the corpse with an absurd expression, the goblin in the air muttered annoyedly. [Ha.... Please calm down. I haven''t even started yet, but there are already a lot of people running amok. All are disqualified for foul y. Stay calm if you don''t want to die split in half.] Users who died split in half. Realizing that it was the goblin''s work, Jae-yeong began to calmly grasp the situation around him with a bamboo spear in his hand. It''s a jungle terrain.....'' The trees grew densely in an instant. I don''t know how big it is, but after confirming the sight of the densely towering trees spreading endlessly, I said to Tan. burnt. ok? why? Tan, who was looking around the rapidly changing terrain with a stupid expression, looked back at Jaeyoung''s question. Ill use the strong god skill. Can you properly cull those who are specialized in stealth and assassination? really? of course! I''ll put the watery ones on standby! Tan, who is living a stressful life by pouring out the improbable probability that he had during thest witch hunt. Jae-young''s words that he would use Kangshin because he was in a state of austerity were as wee to Tan as the rain in a drought. [Let''s see... There are 3,292,891 participants right now... There are 891 people who were eliminated due to foul y, so just 3,292,000 people participated.] The number of people whose jaw dropped wide. Considering that the poption of Korea is 60 million, it is an event in which almost 5% of the poption participated. And it was a figure that showed how influential Arcadia was and how high the level of public interest was. [It''s an unlimited survival from 3,292,000 to 1,000 people left... Thepetition rate seems ridiculous, but what about rules being rules? You can check the remaining numbers above, so please refer to it and then... Let''s start.] Pang Pang Pang. The goblin opened its hands wide and dered the start of the war. Then firecrackers explode from behind. And at the same time, loud noises were heard from here and there. die! Everyone is equal in front of the bamboo spear! One room! One room! Listen to the bamboo spear! People! Kwaang Pupung. At that moment, conflicts started here and there. In the feast of all kinds of skills and techniques, people stabbed to death by bamboo spears began to appear one after another. These children! Please do it in moderation! Crazy guys! What is the bamboo spear running at like this! Kyaaaagh! help me! [Kick. This is very interesting. It''s such a fierce battle at the same time as soon as it starts.] Users have prepared numerous strategies while thinking about winning. However, they were in trouble because of the users who rushed like kamikazes with spears, as if they had no interest in winning. Obviously, those who tried to refrain from hasty movements in the beginning. Those who were seeking safety were taken aback by the reckless rush of madmen shouting bamboo spears and began to copse after being struck with a single blow. And among those users were famous rankers. Wow! I killed the 19th ce in the rankings by stepping on Lego! Poo-wook. Keep it off..... The user cheered with a bamboo spear. While he was cheering, he copsed in the same gray light from a bamboo spear stabbed from behind by surprise. And again, that user was followed by a bamboo spear that flew in from somewhere and was dyed gray. Users literally bite tail after tail and kneel in front of bamboo spears. Looking at the chaos, Jaeyoung said to Tan. burnt. Yes....? Why master? Truly a scene of massacre. Tan, who was watching the scene of this abyss, where each other died and killed each other, suddenly came to his senses and answered Jae-young''s question. Assassination is over.... Please choose someone with poor stealth skills.... Yeah.... Jaeyoung realized the sight that was unfolding in front of his eyes. The fact that this world is really wide and there are so many crazy people who are crazy about bamboo spears. * * * Jukchang Daejeon Round 1. When the event, which had a lot of talk and a lot of trouble, started, the event team at Arcadia Co., Ltd. was monitoring the progress of the event in real time with keen senses. Currently, there are 350,000 dropouts. Fierce battles are still taking ce all over the map. What is the status of users with a high possibility of advancing to the second round? 89% of those we expected are now alive. Most are already hiding and keeping an eye on the situation through stealth or special survival skills. Yeah... that level isn''t bad... Jang Tae-young, who was in charge of the Jukchang Daejeon this time. He slumped back in his chair, smiling as if he was satisfied with his subordinate''s report. The 2nd and 3rd rounds can make a game worth watching.....'' While nning the event, Manager Jang Tae-young drew two pictures of this Jukchang Daejeon. In the first round, a huge number of users hit each other, creating a melee situation 5 minutes before the opening. And the surviving users of the 2nd and 3rd rounds produce a fierce survival battle royale that survives through strategies and tactics that make their hands sweat. In this way, many people nned to have fun with this event, and now the situation was working simrly to what he expected. Although some of the rankers were eliminated due to the reckless offensive of the low-level users, there will be no big surprises as long as most of them hold a base and enter the sit-in..... Users with various upations. Of course, depending on the nature of the job, there were those who had an advantage or disadvantage in this Jukchang Battle, but most rankers were surviving somehow by using 100% of their abilities. Earth Wall! Earth Wall! Earth Wall! A wizard who blocks everyone''s ess by building a huge wall of earth around him. The dark side. A thief hiding in the dark and silent. Sniping. An archer aiming for the hearts of those who silently approach in the dense jungle. And... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) - help me! From users who don''t have any particrly useful abilities, who run around with bamboo spears, to warriors who scream while running away. The methods are different, but everyone was surviving through their own way. And Jaeyoung was also surviving in his own way in the scene of this confusion. hey! What are you? A group of people holding bamboo spears in their hands and painting bizarre patterns on their faces in red, whether it be blood or paint. As soon as they encountered him while passing through the jungle by chance, they swarmed with a fierce force and surrounded Jae-young. To walk alone in this melee... I''m not afraid. Their bamboo spears were stained red as if dozens of people were hunting others in groups. Are you one of those proud ranker users, or are you a revolutionaryrade of bamboo spears like us? The Jukchang Revolutionary Corps rose up with a sense of inferiority and rebellion against rankers. The person who seemed to be their leader asked Jae-young as if to verify his ideology. Answer me quickly! Are ourrades! Or an enemy! Since there is no such thing as a level in the first ce, Jae-Young can never fall into the category of a ranker. However, he shook his head resolutely, as he had no intention of hanging out with the red crowd, who had their faces painted and smelled like revolution. Uh... First of all, I''m not a ranker, but... It''s a bit like hanging out with you guys, but... Can''t we just think of it as neutral and let it go? what....? Comrades! This son of a bitch is a reactionary who does not join our cause! right! right! right! Jukchang! Let''s treat it with a bamboo spear! Those who do not participate in the revolution! These are the main enemies! Kill! Kill! Those stained with madness m bamboo spears into the ground. Jae-young, who experienced first-hand the fact that people''s courts are like this, was able to feel once again how full of crazy people are in this world. Haa... Seriously, why do all the guys I meet look like this? Jae-Young shakes his head and takes out a bamboo spear, as if he has already been through it several times. As he took out his bamboo spear, the leader of the bamboo spear revolutionaries shouted. All attack! Suagh. Dozens of bamboo spears were fired along with his cry. A omnidirectional attack with no room to dodge. However, Jaeyoung just stood still with a rxed attitude despite the bamboo spear attack, which he could never defend against. Peeing. [The target cannot be attacked.] A piercing star crossing the air. omg! What is it? How can this be? The revolutionary corps expected to see Jae-yeong stabbed by a bamboo spear and copsed. However, their bamboo spears passed through him and pierced the air as if Jae-young did not exist. And Jaeyoung said with a fishy smile as if there was no blow. Are you done? So, is it my turn now? Chow. nice. Aagh! Comrade... please revolution... Jaeyoung''s bamboo spear was swung as a counterattack. When the two men who were pierced by his bamboo spear copsed in gray and disappeared, the entire revolutionary group began to shake, unable to hide their bewilderment. What the hell is that skill...! ah.... this? Jae-young, who was looking for someone to summon through the spirit. Among the beings in the demon realm, he found one that was very suitable for this event. Its a passive skill. It was the first thing he knew, but surprisingly, the beings he could summon as spirit gods were not limited to humans. ck Fog exists throughout the Pandemonium. Objects that are born with a very rare chance in this ck fog full of magical power. A contradictory existence in which the substance does not exist, but the substance still exists. Haunting Twilight. Jaeyoung, who has the power of this demon with the characteristic ofpletely ignoring physical attacks, was literally invincible free from the attacks of bamboo spears. Ugh....This is a scam. The white-washed bamboo spear revolutionaries. Their revolution, which started with bamboo spears, ended in vain with bamboo spears. Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Jukchang Daejeon (3) The 1st Jukchang Daejeon participated by more than 3 million people. Thisrge-scale event, held over 5 days, caused a great social controversy due to the fact that more than 5% of the poption of Korea participated. [hello. The social issue to be addressed today is the story of virtual reality. An event that recently started in Arcadia is bing a big issue with controversy over violence. It''s an event called Jukchang War. Let''s hear what the panelists think about this.] A panel of unknown professors and critics huddled together. Among them, one of the critics, who seemed strict, started talking first. [Eh.... The name of the event was so unusual, so I looked it up. This is so absurd that I don''t know what the developers were thinking. The event''s slogan is.... You and I, too. Everyone says it''s a fair shot.... To be honest, from the moderator''s point of view, does this seem sane?] [Everyone can be equal in one shot!] [Rise up, people!] [It''s a revolution!] You too room. People shouting bamboo spears as slogans and exuding unknown anger and madness. They were dyed red, crying out for equality and revolution, as if this ce were indeed South Korea. I also have a room. All of us in one room. This slogan, which seemed to encourage bloodshed, was a stimting phrase full of violence. [Surprisingly, those people are ordinary citizens of Korea in reality. They are expressing things that are hard to imagine in the game.] [Hahaha.... I was very taken aback when I saw that slogan, but surprisingly people''s reactions so far haven''t been bad..... I''ll listen to your opinion.] [I want to ce more meaning on the message that gamepanies deliver to the public than on the violence of this event.] [A message to the public? Uh.... Was there such a thing?] [This event was attended by over 3 million people. First of all, many people had the will to participate voluntarily in this event, and we were able to discover many interesting aspects in the course of the event. Let''s take a look at it.....] And then the video that appears on the screen. It was the image of madmen running around in groups holding bamboo spears. [Jukchang, Jukchang!] [Um... that''s right. That''s a bit... very extreme.] It was madness enough to make me wonder if there was a person like that in real life, quietly kidnapped by the NIS and eating seolleongtang in the basement of Namsan Mountain. [Why are they like that? As a result of agonizing over the reason, I was able to conclude that it was the nature and sincerity that those people buried deep in their hearts.] [ Yes? What is that...] The moderator tilted his head as if he couldn''t understand what the panel said. However, he continued his exnation in a calm voice. [As the host and everyone agrees, the world is not structurally equal. No matter how much we try to achieve equality as much as possible through various social institutions, it is practically impossible. And more or less each of us has stored in our hearts the frustration and anger of these systemic inequalities. I also had a lot of social dissatisfaction in my poor days in the past.] Economic, physical and social inequality. The anger that arises because not everyone is handsome, smart, rich, and has omnipotent power. Social anger and resentment that all petit bourgeois inevitably have. [I don''t think this event is simply an entricity of a crazy developer. Rather, I think that virtual reality provided a window for these people to express and release their anger and resentment that had been hidden in their hearts. I acknowledge the current controversy of violence, but if I can bringfort to people through this event, I think it has enough social value.] bullshit worth ying. However, the moderator nodded with a strange expression. [Hmm.... I''ve never thought of it that way, but if that''s the case, it means that Arcadia Co., Ltd. put a lot of thought and nning into this event.] [ That''s right.] [Yes.... I see. Thank you for your kindments. Next.....] The event started with President Lee Mi-yeon''s idea of just having fun. However, this event, which was thoroughly distorted and packaged by the public and various critics, was interpreted by everyone in apletely different meaning than intended and began to flow out of control. * * * Keep it off! This is a scam! What''s a scam? It''s just a passive effect. [This target cannot be attacked.] A basic ability possessed by the demon called the Ghost of Twilight. Ignore physical attacks. Unlike the enemy''s bamboo spears, which simply pass through and are thrown into the air no matter how much they are stabbed, Jaeyoung''s bamboo spears are deeply embedded in their bodies. Poo-wook. Keep it off.... This kind of bnce shit..... [A phenomenal achievement: The number of people defeated with a bamboo spear exceeded 1,000.] [You directly implemented the meaning of equality of bamboo spears into the world.] [Title You have obtained the Revolutionary of Equality.] Whew.... When will it end..... Jae-Young, starting with the Bamboo Spear Revolutionary Corps, is walking around and treating groups feeling mad with a bamboo spear infort. I looked up at the sky with a tired face. [Number of survivors remaining: 2813 people] Haa.... Now we finally hit 3,000 units..... At first, the count decreased so quickly that hundreds of thousands of people were eliminated in an hour, but now that the small puppies have disappeared, the count is gradually increasing. The rate of decrease also became sluggish and fell into a state of stagnation. Ha.... The map is vast, so it''s hard to catch each one of them... Jaeyoung murmurs in trouble. Behind him, Tan and El followed, patting each other. Hey, you fucking chicken, please, please dont make a fuss. Its not a fault, its that you have no morals! Why do you reinforce a monster running around in the demon realm and then rip off the probability like that? Thats why all the bats are being criticized for being swindlers. ah! Even the owner agreed! Why are you stepping out and fucking! Its my job as a guardian angel! The contractor looks like he got hit in the back by a fucking bat, and of course you have to tell him! this....! OK! Lets see where it ends today. Fire. Hell''s fire emanating from Tan''s hand. However, El didn''t blink an eye and spread a holy energy around him and smiled cynically. joy! Wouldn''t that scare me? Whoops. These two always collide river-to-river. Tan was the first to move in the brief confrontation. Roasted chicken wings for dinner, you damn chicken! pop! Quaang! A sh between the archangel and the archangel, the size of the palm of your hand. Although the scale was small, Jaeyoung watched silently as the two bounced back and forth and fought fiercely. Hell Fire! Where! Divine Judgment! The de of the abyss! Absolute defense! These two fiercely sh while defending andunching profound and bloody skills just by listening to them. Of course, as if the size of the skills themselves had been partially adjusted, the scares of hell that were no more than a finger in size and the two that flew the sacred cross were cute enough to be cute. Kick. Jaeyoung''sughter leaked out without even realizing it. Tan and L stopped fighting and red at Jaeyoung at the same time. Why are youughing! Dontugh. Oh sorry sorry. It looks like the two of them are fighting too seriously, but it''s so small that I can''t stop it... Jaeyoung waved his hand as if telling him to continue doing what he was doing, but Tan and L looked at each other hesitantly and turned around as if their excitement had already cooled. Dont fight! It''s a waste of my strength to fight a guy like that. I also dont want to deal with bats like you. The two of them turned around as if they were avoiding shit not because they were afraid of it, but because it was dirty. While feeling the irony of seeing the two of them, who are pr opposites but sometimes seem to be the same, someone jumped out from the grass far away. Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? Get out of the way! A female user who looks like a beginner. She was startled by Jaeyoung''s sudden appearance and tried to stop screaming. However, her body, which elerated too much to ovee the inertia, eventually began to fly toward Jae-young at a threatening speed. She closed her eyes tightly as if preparing for a collision with Jaeyoung . However, contrary to expectations, her body passed through Jaeyoung as if it did not exist, and she rolled several times on the ground and fell face down. What! Jae-Young, whose physical collision itself ispletely ignored when the Ghost of Twilight is strong. However, there was no way to know Jaeyoung''s condition, so the female user who rolled on the floor looked at Jaeyoung with confused eyes and looked around. What? Have we met again? When the female user who rolled on the floor is confused, another female user pops out from the grass. However, the user muttered that he was d to see Jaeyoung. You... When I said hello before, I had a hunch that there was something... But surviving so far would mean that it''s special, right? Starlight Witch Ste. Shining at the 2nd ce in the overall ranking, she was smiling strangely at Jaeyoung as if she was interested with her sparkling eyes. Please help me too. Hmm...? A mysterious female user who was looking at Ste and Jaeyoung alternately while lying on the floor. Ste put on a funny expression when she suddenly asked Jae-young for help. His eyes seemed to be waiting for his reaction. Jaeyoung thought for a moment about her unexpected help call before answering. Why me? yes....? Looking at the situation, it looks like I was being chased by this person... I mean, why do I have to step in and help someone else''s trouble? Common sense, the war is going on in full swing. In this fight where everyone is enemies and there is no ally, there was nothing good about interfering in the pursuit of others. Especially if the opponent is the second-ranked wizard in the overall ranking. Even if you don''t die, the magic works, so it''s quite annoying...'' Since he couldn''t be stabbed with a bamboo spear anyway, there was absolutely no chance of being eliminated from this matchup, but Jaeyoung didn''t want to scratch and scratch for nothing. Ste muttered with a deep smile, as if she had epted his will well. As expected... it''s more than I thought. That one... I like it. Ste responds to Jaeyoung''s will with a smile. She gave a friendly look and muttered something, but Jaeyoung turned away as if he wasn''t interested. Well... I''m leaving, so just do what you''ve been doing. Anyway, now I just have to spend time holding out until there are 1,000 people left. That''s why I thought of moving to another ce with the thought that I didn''t want to interfere in other people''s affairs. But at that moment..... [New mission has been updated.] A message pops out of nowhere. tall. Jaeyoung, who stopped at that moment and checked the newly updated mission with a puzzled expression, sighed deeply and murmured. Ha... fuck. Jae-young turns around with a frown as if he is really annoyed. The scene that caught his eyes was Ste trying to stab a mysterious female yer on the floor with a bamboo spear. widely. hmm....? What are you doing? Jaeyoung''s bamboo spear blocked Ste''s bamboo spear, which was sharply trying to pierce the enemy. Jaeyoung said in a voice that seemed genuinely annoyed at Ste, who looked at Jaeyoung, who was acting contrary to what he said, with a curious look. Oh I dont know. You have to protect him. It was Jae-young who realized today that this game is like X. Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Jukchang Daejeon (4) Jae-Young turns around saying he won''t get involved in other people''s problems. However, he had no choice but to pick up the words he had just uttered because of a sudden mission. [Mission. 3] You who work tirelessly to turn the world into a crucible of great chaos. But to aplish such a great cause, it is difficult to do it alone. Create trusted allies to help you create the world of your dreams. - Those who should be used as helpers will have a specific mark. - Depending on the influence of the helpers, the probability of being imposed is different. A bizarre mission to make friends. It was said that a certain sign would tell who would be his teammates, but Jaeyoung looked back and knew what that sign was. Whoops. A mysterious female user who was being chased by Ste. A ck arrow floated above her head, as if only Jaeyoung could see it. A sign that tells you who to be too kind to be apanion. Seeing this, Jaeyoung frowned and murmured. Ha... It''s a really annoying game. Seeing Jaeyoung blocking her own bamboo spear and standing in front of the target, Ste asked with a cold face. Are you sure you just said you had no intention of intervening? Jae-young, who obviously sincerely rejected the request for help. However, Ste tilted her head as if she couldn''t understand Jaeyoung''s sudden change of posture to protect her. Somehow this happened... Can you just let it go? Jaeyoung''s euphemistic request. However, Ste seemed to be pondering for a moment, then said with a bloody smile. What if you dont want to? ...Then there''s no choice but to drop out by force. At those words, Jae-young corrects the bamboo spear and prepares for battle. Seeing him like that, Ste also began to raise her magic as if she would never lose. Do you think that would be that easy? grip support. A bamboo spear in one hand and a magical staff in the other. Several magic circles began to float around Ste, who was holding two weapons at the same time. The two confront each other, watching each other''s movements with a mixture of tension. It was Ste who moved first. Chain Lightning. grip support. A bluish electric shock that flew with a menacing force. Jaeyoung held a bamboo spear and ignorantly blocked it with his body. [Chain Lightning hit.] [Stamina drastically decreased.] [Has been slowed by abnormal conditions.] [ Body speed is temporarily reduced.] Ailments inflicted upon being hit by Chain Lightning and HP drastically reduced. However, Ste''s attacks continued uninterrupted. Fire bolt. Magic hold. Entangle. Wind cutter. Low circle magic that can be cast instantly. However, the feast of magic that flew one by one, whether the skill rank was high, was so powerful that I could not dare to ignore it. Kwaaang. Jaeyoung tried to avoid it as much as possible, but because of Chain Lightning''s slowing effect, Jaeyoung was able to hit most of her spells properly. Unable to ovee the impact of the fireball that exploded at the end, he flew away and rolled for a long time. [Falls into a moribund state. All stats are lowered.] [Invincible'' is activated.] [Death is temporarily suspended. Be careful with the bamboo spear.] Originally, it would not have been strange even if he died. However, in the event map, Jae-young, who became invincible, was fortunately able to avoid a situation where the character died, probably due to the restriction that the opponent could only be killed with a bamboo spear. Oh... Jaeyoung muttered while lying on the floor. Ste slowly approached Jaeyoung and looked down at him with a bright smile. Are you nervous for nothing? I knew that he was a hidden strongman, but he was helpless against such an attack... Stees with a bamboo spear as if to give the final touches. However, since it is difficult to even control the body in a dying state, Jaeyoungy still without any resistance and watched her actions. Even if we meetter, I hope you dont get too upset that he died because of me. Whatever it was, it was you who intervened in my work. Ste lifts a bamboo spear and says let''s end it coolly. Jaejoong nodded his head in agreement. okay. It''s an event anyway, so there''s no need to hurt each other''s feelings. Hehe... He''s an interesting person after all. It was a very calm reaction for someone who was on the verge of death. Ste smiled deeply and shed the bamboo spear at Jaeyoung''s chest. Poo-wook. What is it? A bamboo spear stabbed precisely. However, what the bamboo spear dug into was not Jaeyoung''s chest, but the ground he was lying on. A bamboo spear passed through the body naturally as if it were an illusion. And a message popped up in front of her eyes. [The target cannot be attacked.] And at that moment. Poo-wook. Jae-Young''s bamboo spear stabbed Ste as if he had waited for the moment when Ste panicked. Ste''s face contorted with bewilderment for the first time as she gazed nkly at Jaeyoung''s bamboo spear, which had been pierced right into her side. What the hell... how? Ste clearly won with an overwhelming advantage in battle. She couldn''t understand the situation of the two who turned upside down in an instant at the final finish, but seeing Jaeyoung''s smile lying on the floor, she realized that he was aiming for this moment. As we just promised, lets not hurt each other over the death. As if the effect of the bamboo spear had been activated, her body rapidly turned gray from the pierced side. This nonsense... Ste muttered with a vain expression. In the end, she copsed into a gray light without even being able to finish her words properly. Whoa.... If it wasn''t for the real invincibility judgment, I would have beenpletely defeated. She showed strength beyond imagination. I was defeated because I had no idea of Jaeyoung''s ability, but under normal circumstances, I couldn''t easily guarantee victory. Hey... are you okay? Jaeyoung, who was still in a dying state and was sitting on the floor and getting himself together, looked up at the mysterious female user who was the culprit of all of this. A red health recovery potion in her hand as she hesitates and doesn''t know what to do. Seeing this, Jaeyoung held out his hand. Why on earth were you being chased by a ranker like that? If I were to do it, I would have almost died..... Thank you so much for helping me too. A female user with her head bowed. No matter how urgent she was, she lowered her head with a blushing face, as if she knew how shameless it was to ask someone she had never seen before. There is nothing to be thankful for... Why the hell were you being chased? Lets hear the reason. That''s... that''s why... Angelina, a wizard user who was constantly being chased by Ste. She was an alumni who had received magic training from a wizard NPC like Ste. Unlike Ste, who started the game first, Angelina came inte as a disciple. At first, neither of them knew it, but the NPC wizard who taught them was a reclusive archmage with a very bizarre and entric personality . Expansion of thinking is the most important. You will be able to realize it if you look at the wider world, not just thisnd, and devote yourself to a wide range of visions and ideas. Look at the sky, that beautiful shining starlight and moonlight over there. Isn''t it really beautiful?] Unlike the others, the Archmage is always fascinated by the brightly shining stars and moon in the sky. The special magic and enlightenment he created was secretly passed on to two disciples. And that... Ste, the witch of starlight. And right now, Moonlight Mage Angelina standing in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. It was these two. So... you both got the Hidden ss, so why is Ste in such a hurry to kill you? That''s it... my master told me a strange story before he left somewhere. What story? The two books he left behind. He was confident as he entrusted each of them with this hidden job-only item, which was a former item and could acquire new skills ording to the level. If the dayes when these two magical books are merged into one... maybe a great wizard who truly transcends human limitations and categories will be born. The Archmage suddenly left somewhere while spreading rice cakes that he could be stronger by stealing each other''s magic books and making them his own. Since then, Angelina has been avoiding Ste, who is aiming for her magic book. I was running around well until now... but at this event, we met by chance... The images roughly drawn in my head. Jaeyoung nodded as if he understood and summarized her story. So... your master, before leaving somewhere, stole the items you shared with each other and sprinkled rice cakes on them saying that if you hold them, you be incredibly strong, and that girl named Ste turns a blind eye and continues to chase after you to kill you, you mean? Yes, thats right..... This is because the teacher was bad. I know. nting the seeds of great discord in the hearts of the disciples. After hearing her story, Tan and L throw out a word from behind. Seeing the two of them working together for the first time in a while, Jaeyoung looked at her unexpectedly and asked Angelina. So... what are you nning to do next? yes....? She is being intensively checked by the second-ranked user. After hearing the situation, it was a very unsuitable target to be a colleague. It was a hidden ss and Nabal, and even looking at the equipment items, it was showing the level of difference between the sky and the earthpared to Ste, which Jaeyoung had just experienced. How long are you going to y games while being chased like that? Can you hunt properly? ..... What level are you now? 43 ..... Level 43. It''s ambiguous, but it''s a low-level level that doesn''t even reach the middle level. But more serious than that was the quality of the items she was equipped with. Isnt that old wooden staff that the level 15 staff in your hand throws away? The clothes she''s wearing there are the national school uniform robes worn at level 20. She is all low-level and wears only low-to-mid-priced items. At Jaeyoung''s questioning, Angelina bit her lip and muttered in a creeping voice. I cant help it because I dont have enough money to run away... Even if you set up a base in one of the towns and y, Ste will chase you and pay an expensive fee to use a wagon or warp to move to another ce. she had been repeating. As a result, even when it was time to change the equipment, I did not have the money to change it, so I was struggling with financial difficulties every day, and I was put in this situation. Angelina, who was looking back on the past days, suddenly started to cry, as if she was filled with sadness even thinking about it herself. I also... I just want to y games like the other regr users... Uh... Jaeyoung looked at Angelina with tears in her eyes. He thought about something for a moment, then scratched his head and let out a sigh of deep annoyance. Haa... First, give me the items you have. yes....? Angelina gives a puzzled look at the sudden request. However, Jaeyoung resolutely held out his hand again and said. First of all, if you''ve been hunting with this item up until now, wouldn''t you have been using it for a very long time? I have something to check, so give me a second. A japtem-level item that ordinary users would immediately sell at a shop. However, since it was all she had to Angelina, her hand as she handed the item to Jaeyoung was sluggish. Giving probabilities. pah ah An old wooden staff in Jaeyoung''s hand. It suddenly shed with great brilliance. What did you just do... Probability given. Giving probabilities. Jae-young, who tried to ask her what to say, but didn''t even answer, holding each item in her hand and shouting. And whenever that happens, her items shine and sparkle. After repeating that several times, Jaeyoung meekly returned the item to Angelina. What is this...? After checking the item, Angelina''s eyes were stained with astonishment and she looked at Jaeyoung nkly with a shocked expression. What the hell are you...? Angelina asked softly. Jaeyoung said to her with a bitter smile. I am your Fairy Godfather. A bond formed through chance encounters. They didn''t know it, but it was a very special day. 1st Circle Archmage. Stupid in PVP. Crazy Korean Magician. A rare crazy bitch who beats until he''s done if he doesn''t. The birth of Angelina. It was this very day. Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Jukchang Daejeon (5) A mysterious user introduced himself as the Fairy Godfather and returned the item he had taken. Angelina was stunned when she checked the items she had returned from him. What the hell is this? Completely different items. Looking at the appearance, it was the national equipment of an ordinary low-level wizard, but the details of the item werepletely changed. [Staff of Poverty - Only One] A staff that contains the tears of those who have suffered from poverty and hardship. It is filled with the strong will of a novice wizard umted over the years of endurance and exerts special power. -Equipment Limit: 30 -Durability: 100000/100000 -Attack Power: 10~10 -Magic Power: 10 -Reduces magic damage casting speed of 3 or more circles by 50%. -10% increase in casting speed of circle 2 magic damage. -100% increase in magic damage for circle 1. Immediately cast. [Robe of Poverty - Only One] A tattered robe that contains the tears of those who have suffered from poverty and hardship. It is filled with the strong will of a novice wizard umted over the years of endurance and exerts special power. -Equip limit: 30 -Durability: 300000/300000 -Defense: 300 -Magical Defense: 400 -100% increase in cooldown of magic over 3 circles. -Reduces the cooldown of Circle 2 magic by 50%. -100% reduction in cooldown of Circle 1 magic. [Shoes of Poverty - Only One] Hole-pierced shoes filled with the tears of those suffering from poverty and hardship. It is filled with the strong will of a novice wizard umted over the years of endurance and exerts special power. - Wear limit: 30 - Durability: 100000/100000 - Movement speed increased by 10%. - Decreases movement speed by 100% for 10 seconds when magic is used in 3 or more circles. -Increases movement speed by 10% for 10 seconds when using Circle 2 magic. -Increases movement speed by 200% for 10 seconds when using Circle 1 magic. Where did the low-level equipment Angelina used so far go? The three unique grade items boasting a dazzling blue color and written in glowing text. And Angelina''s gaping mouth didn''t know how to close at the ridiculous performance they had. Fortunately, as you ate so much with those equipment, you got stronger. poverty. Three items tailored to the keyword of poverty, how poor they lived. Jaeyoung thought to himself as he looked at Angelina, who was at a loss for what to do. As expected... depending on how the target item has been used, the effect of granting probability is determined.'' Jaeyoung was able to be sure of the conditions and effects of adding probabilities by looking at the beginners han and bloody iron sword made the other day, and these three items made with simr keywords this time. Really, this is my item...? Angelina muttered as she tugged at her cheeks as if she still couldn''t believe it. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung nodded. Well... these are a bit ambiguous items, but they will still be useful in the beginning. A fraudulent item that can boast of being more efficient than a mythical magic item, limited to Circles 1 and 2. However, from the 3rd circle onwards, the penalty is so steep that I can''t use it at all, so even though I can''t use it for a long time, Jaeyoung is confident that it will be quite useful for her, who is still at a low level. Anyway, if you raise your skill proficiency and rank well, the 1st and 2nd circle magic will work well until you reach level 100 to 140. At his words, Angelina suddenly came to her senses and nodded hastily. ah? yes sure! Anyway, I haven''t learned any of the 3rd circle magic... Uh... But... Angelina stopped talking and suddenly blurted out her words. She hesitated for a while before asking. Why on earth are you helping me like this? The situation is too excessive to be called a simple favor. Jae-young, who goes beyond helping her in crisis, gives her a fraudulent item. Even thinking about it, Angelina couldn''t understand why they would do such a thing for nothing in exchange for a rtionship they had just met. Um... is that so? yes....? I had no intention of helping. Listening to the circumstances, it''s a bit pitiful, but who wants to jump into a job where he has a bad feeling with the second-ranked yer? In fact, Jae-young, who tried to leave him alone, whether he died or not. But it was none other than this damn mission system that forced his actions. It was done because the mission, the only source of probability, could not be ignored for Jaeyoung, whose probability is directly rted to power, but there was no need to exin it to her in detail. But my feet just didnte off. At first nce, he seems like a novice user, but why are rankers chasing him so fiercely? Thinking of that makes me feel a bit pathetic... and curious about the reason... That''s..... Angelina looked at Jaeyoung with a slightly moved expression. Her eyes brightened and then she lowered her head and began bowing 90 degrees. Thank you very much! That much for me... I think it''s the first time I''ve seen such a kind user while ying this game. ck... Angelina suddenly recalled the past years. Users who do not fit properly in party hunting because the equipment is poor. Even when she entered a party by chance, she was scolded for not having high circle skills and weak damage, and was treated coldly every time. Angelina asked Jae-young first, thinking that she had met a truly genuine user among people who had lost their humanity because they were blindly buried in items and strength. Can you... add me as a friend? An existence you can trust and rely on in this harsh Arcadia. Not just passing by like this, but wanting to be together at any time, Angelina gathered up the courage to ask Jae-young. And at that question, Jaeyoung also nodded with a warm smile. of course. And at that moment, a window appeared in front of Angelina''s eyes. [Dex has sent you a friend request. Do you want to ept this?] Angelina smiled brightly and pressed the ept button, and that''s how she made her first true friend in Arcadia. Without seeing Jaeyoung''s sinister smile. * * * At that time, I just passed the beginner vige, but the slimes got stronger... It turned out that Angelina was the same age as Jaeyoung. Unlike her first appearance, she had a lively face and kept chattering and telling all sorts of stories. ah! It''s really noisy! hey master! can''t we just kill it? What are you talking about so much? ...You''re a person who doesn''t know the value of seriousness. It sounds like you need to practice silence. Tan and L, who were quietly following behind her, kept quiet for so long that they began to have seizures. Still, it''s really strange... that a celebrity named Dex is my friend. Angelina knows something about Dex''s prestige. She continued to secretly nce at Jaeyoung with a mysterious look in her eyes . The only creator who can create an item of the Only One quality. Perhaps, if this fact was known, the crowd of users who would chase after him with items in their hands was terrifying. of course. Could I? Jaeyoung did not want to reveal his existence as much as possible because the nature of his job was a characteristic, and the more attention he received from others, the more restricted his freedom of movement was. Of course, it had to be revealed in certain circumstances. -Is that dex, the only tier item on the auction house, really that dex? -I don''t know. It can be fake or it can be real. don''t know that -But if you can get a fraudulent item like that, I think steamed dex would be right. As the items have already been put up on the auction house, there is a debate among people about whether Dex has been transferred to Arcadia. That''s why Jaeyoung knew that he couldn''t stop revealing his existence to the public. I just need time to think about how people will perceive me. But...the first leg will be over soon. Even while I was talking with Angelina, the count in the sky kept falling. [Number of survivors remaining: 1002] Just two. There are only two people left before the cutoff. And then. Coincidentally, Angelina and Jaeyoung ran into two other users. oh! Who is this? Guests have arrived to decorate our grand finale. sloppy body shape. Two users with stern appearances reminiscent of brave Vikings were giggling while holding hideous greatswords. hmm? But the costumes are weird. How on earth did you survive until now? Jaeyoung is wearing a normal robe that has no effect. And after seeing Angelina dressed in basic Minty and jeans with all her equipment off, one of the users she encountered asked with a puzzled look. Cheuk.... What does it matter? At first nce, they seem to be yers who can''t take off their beginner''s skin... Then it''s better for hunting. Ha ha ha! That''s right. Two users drinking a bowl of kimchi soup while holding a greatsword whileughing heartily. After looking at the two for a moment, Jaeyoung looked at Angelina and said. Can you? what? I have to check the item performance once. You take care of both of them. what....? Both of them? Angelina is taken aback by Jaeyoung''s words. In fact, wizards were at a very disadvantage in one-on-one battles with swordsmen. If the swordsman rushed in quickly while casting magic and started swinging his sword, it was normal for him to get hit and die without being able to counterattack properly. No... thats a bit... Hahahaha! Are you going to deal with it alone? This is true. Arent you looking at us too funny? bang bang. The two swordsmen pounding their chests and looking at each other eagerly saying that they would ept the challenge. Then why dont you try it, wizard man? Cheet! The two swordsmen are slowly approaching with their great swords in a battle stance. Seeing the two approaching her as if Jaeyoung didn''t care, Angelina hurriedly began to equip equipment from her inventory. [Wearing the Staff of Poverty] [Wearing the Robe of Poverty] [Wearing the Shoes of Poverty] She wore the 3 items she received from Jaeyoung. At a nce, he seemed nothing more than an apprentice wizard who was about to shed his groggy newbie tee. However, a message popped up in front of her eyes. [All set items of Poverty are equipped.] [The set effect is activated.] Set effect...? Angelina muttered with surprised eyes. But before she could even check what the set effect was, two massive greatswords were flying at her. die! Thunder strike! Put it down! The greatsword flew with ferocious force as if it were going to split it in half at once. Seeing that, Angelina instinctively shouted magic. shield! with chaeng. A translucent shield that appears as soon as you shout the starter word. However, the shield withstood the greatsword that hit hard, but it was broken in an instant. And then. shield! shield! shield! shield! shield! Oh no...? what....? Several intangible barriers that appear in an instant. Each shield was weak, but the intangible shield created in 7 or 8yers forced the two great swords to stop in the air. What is this...? The two were convinced that they would break the shield at once and kill them with one blow. However, contrary to the expectations of the two, Angelina stood still and was smiling an iprehensible ominous smile. Magic Missile. Tuung. Circle 1 basic attack magic. The two, who were hit by this basic skill that any magician learns for the first time, received so little damage that they couldn''t evenugh, but that was the beginning. Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile! Magic Missile...! Do-do-do-do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Keuouh! what. What is this...! Literally, getting your clothes wet in drizzle. They were stunned as they were bombarded with a carpet of magic missiles. Even if she tried to respond, a magical attack that flew without dy. When the two swordsmen who were helplessly attacked by it were shaken and did not know what to do, Angelina shouted without stopping for a moment. Magic Misai-i-i-! The two victims who announced the end of the first round of the Jukchang Daejeon were thus decided. Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Jukchang Daejeon (6) [The number of survivors remaining has reached 1000.] [The first round of the Jukchang Daejeon has ended . ] Angelina standing. She looked down at the two gray, copsed men with a look of disbelief on her face. Well... I''m simply ignorant, but it seems to be quite effective. Magic Missile. The most basic skill with no damage, properties, or special effects that even novice wizards use for a short time and then throw it away right away. It was such a weak attack that even the pathetic goblinughed at it and greeted it, but this time it was different. Dozens, hundreds... no, tens of thousands of magic missiles. This is a scam...! Keuuk...! Please stop... It was to the point where two greatsword users who had been hit by endlessly flying magic missiles came out of their mouths asking them to stop killing them. In the end, the two ambitious greatsword warriors fell into a dying state without being able to defeat a magical girl dressed in shabby clothes, and were finished off with her bamboo spear on the contrary. Its great. Angelina confirmed the performance of the item. She, too, seemed surprised by her own strength, and muttered while looking down at her hands with round eyes. In the case of circle 1 magic, there is no cooldown time for immediate casting.... Besides, what the hell is the effect of this set item... A set item of poverty. The effect that I hadn''t confirmed before was the reduction of the amount of mana consumed. [Reduces the mana consumption of Circle 1 magic by 99%] [Reduces the mana consumption of Circle 2 magic by 50%] [Increases the mana consumption of Circle 3 and above magic by 1000%] Instant cast only for Circle 1 magic A Poverty Set that grants you virtually infinite mana with no cooldown. It''s such an amazing item that you can literally exim, That''s a fucking scam!'' However, Jae-young, the man who made such an item, was calm and weak. Anyway, its a 1st-circle magic, but... it will probably reach its limit at some point. But... are you really giving me this item? Dont put it on an auction house and sell it. If it goes up for sale, it will give you a headache. It was an item that seemed to have great value, even if she thought about it, but Jae-young showed no particr greed. Looking at his attitude, Angelina''s heart began to have firm trust in Jaeyoung. Something... I think this person is someone I can trust ...'' The two of them are looking at each other and smiling, each havingpletely different thoughts. Angelina,pletely unaware of Jae-young''s intentions, was full of goodwill towards Jae-young, but the calctor was running at full capacity in Jae-young''s head. [The trust of the target has been obtained.] [yer Angelina is registered as a helper.] [Probability can be obtained as a reward ording to the helper''s y.] [ Current cumtive probability: 243] Right probability. However, it was difficult to say that the probability she created was high because the probability she gave to her items alone exceeded 90,000. It''s just the start...'' But Jaeyoung was rxed. It might be like this right now, but I thought that if I grew up quickly with the three items I gave her and was active all over the continent, one day I would be able to recoup the probability of investing in her. Please... grow into a ridiculous monster...'' Jaeyoung prayed sincerely. I hope that this clumsy wizard in front of me will someday grow into a tremendous existence that everyone knows and be a goose with golden eggs that faithfully earns him a chance. * * * Jang Tae-young, the team leader, is in charge of the overall progress of the 1st Jukchang Daejeon. He was sure of sess after the first round of the Jukchang Daejeon started and the reactions that appeared one after another. -ah! leaving out! it''s a shame. -lol. Still, I''m satisfied because I eliminated a lot with the bamboo spear. -I know. I can understand why people who are really jukchang jukchang do that. It''s so refreshing. Themunitymented that it was fun enough to leave regret even after being eliminated. In addition, broadcasts of Jukchang Daejeon streamed in real time were eating rice cakes with phenomenal views. manager! Media outlets are also responding favorably. Interview requests keeping in. Contrary to expectations, the reaction of the cheering people. In line with that, thements from experts who positively evaluated this event from a friendly perspective further heated up the current atmosphere. As expected... people like revolutionary situations like this. In reality, the weak and helpless petit bourgeois. Even within the game, it is an experience to show the true taste of equality by stabbing the strong and the rich with bamboo spears. It is not for nothing that there were people who cried out for revolution and raised bamboo spears in the long history. Because it is such a thrilling and exhrating experience, there are bound to be people who shout the slogan of overturning everything. Hehehe.... If this event is sessful, a promotion may be possible.....'' Jang Tae-young, the team leader, pushed President Lee Mi-yeon''s idea ahead of anyone else. That moment when your mouth opens at the thought that you might be recognized for your contributions and given the title of manager. One of the employees shouted with a frown. The second-ce user in the team leaders ranking just got eliminated! what....? Ranked 2nd. Starlight Witch Ste. As a hidden ss and renowned for her ability to operate various magics, she was one of the few people he picked as the winner of the final bamboo spear war. However, when she was told that she had been eliminated from the first match, team leader Jang Tae-young put on a puzzled expression. what? Have you met any other rankers? Why are you dropping out all of a sudden? Uh...thats... Look at Stes y record screen. All right. The y scene that appeared on the screen at the instruction of team leader Jang Tae-young. After confirming the process of her elimination, he immediately shouted with a shocked expression. What is that bastard! The opposing user who was overpowered by the overwhelming difference in skill. However, at thest moment, team leader Jang Tae-young stuttered and was frightened when he saw him, who was fine even after being stabbed with a bamboo spear, and Ste, who died from a surprise stabbing bamboo spear. What! that! That... ording to Ste''s y record, a user with the nickname Dex is... Dex? Check that users y record right now! Okay... Team leader Taeyoung Jangs mind becameplicated at the fact that there were users who were free from the bamboo spear attack. What the hell...? Is it a bug...?'' He never even imagined that something like this would happen. If this fact were to be known among the general users, it was clear that there would be hugeints and objections, so he became more and more nervous. not there yet? Team leader Jang Tae-young sees his subordinates taking longer than expected and urges them on. However, the subordinate replied with a tilt of his head as if it were strange. I... Team leader said that the user cannot view the information? what....? Look! At those words, team leader Jang Tae-young checked the employee''s monitor. In the window for checking user y information, there was no detailed information that should have been densely packed, and only onerge red text was written. [ Insufficient authority to query the user information.] Team leader Jang Tae-young frowned at the phrase. Rumor has it that there are users who are specially managed by the head office, and that their information is strictly confidential. He had heard of this story spreading through many people, but it was the first time he had confirmed that it actually existed, so he did not know how to respond. What the hell is that guy? Completely ignoring bamboo spears...? Um... Chief? Team leader Jang Tae-young has been thinking about a response n for a long time in his head. But his thoughts were short-lived because of a subordinate who kept calling him. manager! Why do you keep doing that? Look there... The area where Ste died. Dex and a mysterious female user talking about something there. I didn''t know exactly what they were doing, but after staying there for a while and watching the two doing something, team leader Taeyoung Jang narrowed his eyes and said. What the hell are those guys doing? It seemed like they were trading some item. item? yes. Over there, a female user with the nickname Angelina took off the item and suddenly handed it to that user named Dex. suddenly? Why? I''m not sure about that either... The two of them repeat strange behaviors for unknown reasons. And soon after, team leader Jang Tae-young, who watched the process of encountering two users with huge great swords, witnessed an unbelievable sight. Mr. fuck... what is that again? Hundreds of thousands of magic missiles were pouring out of the female user. And the staff, who watched all the sight of a warrior with two great swords failing to resist and being beaten helplessly and eventually being stabbed to death by a bamboo spear, couldn''t shut their mouths with a shocked look on their faces. What is that! Someone please exin! Two existences that can never be calledmon sense. One guy is doing a selfish deal by stabbing the opponent with a bamboo spear while passing through it. The other is a situation in which his parents are going to the United States and are going to the United States, wildly using magic with the determination to be a fan until they die. Team leader Jang Tae-young, who witnessed it with his own eyes, lost his temper and went wild, but no one could exin it clearly. It''s just..... Chief! That Angelina user''s y history is essible. really....? Put it on the screen right now! Team leader Jang Tae-young said that while one couldn''t even approach, the other was possible, and immediately put it on the screen. He immediately started checking Angelina''s user information that appeared on the screen. As a magician of moonlight.... Hidden ss, normal abilities... Level 43? It''s not that high level... Step by step, he sets out to find the cause of the entricity he just showed. However, her stat window was mediocre. Rather, a level belonging to a slightly lower side than the wizards of the same level. However, team leader Jang Tae-young, who went over to the item window, let out a grotesque scream as he received a shock close to shock beyond amazement. What what what is that! Is that what I''m looking at right now? That''s right! No, how can such an item...? The three items she is wearing. On the outside, it was just an old robe and shoes worn by beginners, and a cheap staff made of wood, but contrary to their appearance, they were truly open-ended items with ridiculous stats attached. You crazy nning team bastards! Make this an item now? Call the nning team right now! I see. The moment I realized the existence of the two. Jang Tae-young was enraged, imagining what would happen in the second and third rounds of the Jukchang Daejeon, which had already been destroyed. I was sincerely angry at the nning team and development team that created this ridiculous,-destroying bnce disruption item. These crazy bastards...! I''m crazy about ying the game right now! He said, stopping the subordinate who was picking up the receiver. hey! Just put down the receiver. I will have to go and find out for myself. Team leader Jang Tae-young leaves the monitoring room with a huff. But he didn''t know. The existence of Dex means that the nning team, the development team, and the operation team are all holding hands, grinding their teeth, shedding bloody tears, hating and cursing, and that everyone in thispany is a pitiful and pitiful victim. Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Jukchang Daejeon (7) 1st round of Jukchang Daejeon. The event, which attracted an astounding number of 3 million participants, ended sessfully with the explosive response of the people. And after a day of rest. People gathered again for the second round. [Hoh.... It turned out to be more unexpected than I thought.] An NPC goblin who is hosting the event. He muttered intriguedly above Fantastic Ind, reading a long scroll with his sses on. [I thought a lot of top rankers would survive... Surprisingly, there were a lot of survivors in the middle and low ranks.] 1000 survivors survived. Among them, there were a lot of famous rankers that you would know just by hearing their name, but surprisingly many of them were middle- and lower-ranking yers whose names you didn''t know. Jukchang! Jukchang! We are all equal in front of the bamboo spear! Oooh! Let''s unite,rades! As if they were united, they had red headbands on their heads that they did not know where they got them from. Looking at them, one of the rankers muttered in disgust. Ugh... those crazy guys... Why? What happened? Asked by someone who heard his murmur, one ranker shook his head as if he had no answer. They are really just crazy people. They''re just people who carry bamboo spears and make banzai attacks with man-in-the-middle tactics. Whether he really dies or not, once he sees people who look like rankers, he just openly rushes at them... Ugh, if he gets caught, it really hurts his head. is it so....? However, since quite a few survived, the strategy must have worked... Don''t say anything. How big were those guys originally? That is a lot less. Jukchang Taiping Movement. Those who gathered with the determination to bring peace to the continent with bamboo spears. They made a huge force of more than tens of thousands, but after a fierce jukchang battle, their power plummeted to about 200, but now with 1,000 remaining in the second round, they were a threatening group on a scale that could not be ignored. [Hoh.... The lowest level of this is 43. Is it luck that a user who did not exceed 50 was on the list of sessful candidates for the first round? Or is it skill?] The goblin muttered unexpectedly with his eyes bright. Perhaps taken aback by his words, Angelina quietly hid behind Jaeyoung''s back with an awkward expression on her face. [Well... let''s find out about that through episode 2. Kikiki.....] Then the goblin snapped his fingers again. Right. Whoops. A bamboo spear that trembles as if resonating with the clear sound of finger snapping. And a strange red aura began to spread from the bamboo spear. what....? [First of all, before starting the 2nd Jukchang War.... I will exin two urgent changes.] There are changes? What are you talking about all of a sudden? People started to mumble when they heard that there was a change. However, after hearing the goblin''s words, Jaeyoung and Angelina looked at each other with strange expressions. [Eh... First of all, it''s not cheating, but we decided to improve some of the skills because it was judged to be too advantageous in this bamboo spear battle. First... Change the bamboo spear so that it can receive not only physical attacks, but also magic attacks. In other words, effects such as ignoring physical attacks or absolute defense cannot be applied to bamboo spears.] ...? Nullification of physical attacks? absolute defense? Did you have those skills? Wow... Then it must have been a real scam. Who is it? The users tilted their heads at those words and became agitated. But among them, Jaeyoung made a stiff expression after hearing the goblin''s announcement. Wait a minute... isnt that a patch thatpletely attacks you? Angelina put on a strange expression and whispered carefully to Jaeyoung. Angelina witnessed with her own eyes that he was immune from bamboo spears. Instead, she was furious at the fact that Jaeyoung''s biggest advantage was gone because of this patch. What''s this? Where is the point of putting such a condition at will now? Is this aplete sniper patch? Wouldn''t this be against fairness? It''s not a bug or a hack, but Jae-young, who survived proudly by using the game system legitimately. However, the gamepany began to thoroughly block him without acknowledging his trick. [Also, due to concerns about a serious bnce copse due to certain items, in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, you cannot use any equipment other than weapons among the existing equipment items, and you must fight each other only with your own skills and bamboo spears.] what....? Where is that! No equipment to wear! Wearing non-weapon equipment is prohibited. People''s dissatisfaction with this second measure popped up here and there. No, but its a bit harsh to not even wear armor. How are you supposed to fight! Still, from the point of view of high-rankers, they received a level of equipment that could not be ignored, so it was easy to deal with the middle and low-ranking users in groups, but they judged that if this happened, it would be more disadvantageous for survival. ...Does this sound like youre sniping? This time, Jaeyoung muttered while looking at Angelina, but she was shocked by the ban on wearing equipment, and as if her soul had escaped, she just stared nkly at the goblin. [Kihehehe. Even if it''s aint, it''s already been decided, so I can''t help it.] The goblin shrugs as if he has no power. As if he would not listen to the users''ints, he soon started counting again. [ruler. Then, shall we begin the second round of Jukchang Daejeon? 5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1.... Start!] [Number of Survivors Remaining: 1000] Round 2 where 900 out of 1000 are eliminated. The deration of the beginning was made and the users disappeared in an instant. To their respective positions before being summoned. * * * The beginning of the Second Jukchang War. Team leader Jang Tae-young watching it was full of nervousness unlike before. Did the patch apply properly? Uh... I guess so. Team leader Jang Tae-young checks the situation of the event in real time. Next to him, Director Kang Tae-hoon, who is in charge of nning and development of Arcadia''s Korean branch, was watching the event together. So... how are those two monitoring targets doing? There is not much movement yet. The two of you are just talking to each other. Yeah...if it starts to move, report it right away. yes! All right. At the direct instruction of General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon, the staff started to move quickly. That''s also true because Director Kang Tae-Hoon was a person who wielded tremendous influence inside and outside the department to the extent that he could be said to be next to the executive director who was authorized within thepany, and the fact that he directly stepped forward made even team leader Tae-Young Jang nervous. That manager...? Why but? Team leader Jang Tae-young called Director Kang Tae-hoon in the most cautious tone. He hesitated several times as if he was awkward, then lowered his head and said. I think I made a mistake the other day because I was too excited. I''m really sorry. Team leader Jang Tae-young checked the performance of the equipment items worn by a user named Angelina. He went directly to the nning department and development department and almost overturned the desk and made all sorts of jokes. And it was only after Director Kang Tae-hun stepped forward that he learned all the facts. No. If you think that the event you prepared with such ridiculous bnce breaking items is being ruined, you might be like that. I understand everything..... No..... I''m really sorry and I''m sorry again. Team leader Tae-young Jang, who lowered his head and apologized, was next to him, and General Manager Kang Tae-hun was lost in thought. Team leader Jang Tae-young came to ask if the items Angelina was wearing made sense. Another appearance of a unique item reminded me of what I had been reported to by Yang Chang-sik the other day. The first unique grade item on the auction house, Blood Addiction''. It also boasted such great performance that the word fraudulently came out of its mouth, but even after the item was confiscated due to hasty measures, the victim''s reaction was too calm. [Ah... just take that. You can make more simr ones and sell them.] The person concerned may not have known, but it is an unsettling sound that will make the listener''s heart sink ten times. And as if that promise at that time was true, the only item was in 3 different users. First of all, Angelina is important, but to be able to intensively monitor the user called Dex. It''s a ghost-like existence that is beyond our monitoring authority. All right. Existence outside the authority to fall into the monitoring target. Almost a very small number, but about 3 people were confirmed, and they were thoroughly veiled to the extent that even Arcadia couldn''t even find out what was going on. And one of them was Dex, who was right there on the screen. If you look at the situation, it is confirmed that it is probably a production user. In the case of Angelina, given that she took an existing item and transformed it, there is a high probability that she is a production user specializing in strengthening. Director Kang Tae-hun, who presumes that he has obtained a hidden ss. However, since it was just an analogy through the way he yed, not a fact that he found out by reading certain user information, he intended to draw out as much information as possible through this Jukchang Battle. But... Fortunately, the head office allowed this emergency patch, so the bigger controversy seems to have ended. Jaeyoung, whopletely ignores physical attack power, and Angelina, who pushes everything away with items. A patch applied by those who devised an alternative for half a day to identify and limit the exploits of these two. However, for this purpose, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon suffered considerable losses. [The reason for the emergency patch is not suitable.] Although it is said to be an exploit, these two problems are not cheating at all in the eyes of AI Alice. However, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon pushed ahead with this patch. Am Icking administrative privileges for patching? [3rd level manager Kwon Myeong-han, executive director. The authority is met.] Then, I will invoke the administrator''s authority to apply this emergency patch. Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, requested an emergency patch using the administrator''s authority. At that, Alice acknowledged that this patch would give unreasonable penalties to certain users, but approved it. [Permissions met. Execution of administrator''s authority Apply emergency patch contents.] Thank you. It was not the direction she wanted, but Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han expressed her gratitude for carrying out her will. But she answered him in a dry tone. [I used the authority of the administrator, but it is an unfair patch based on my judgment. Some penalties may be imposed ordingly.] Ellis leaves a bloody final word that a penalty may be imposed. It was not clear what the penalty was, but Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon had no choice but to overdo it because it was a necessary measure for this Jukchang Daejeon event to end sessfully. If you go through the 3rd round in that state and survive until the end... The final battle of the 3rd round of the Jukchang Daejeon will probably be watched with interest from all over the world. In the fierce and suffocating battle, Angelina unleashes Circle 1 magic without limit. Dex stabs everyone with his own bamboo spear while ignoring the bamboo spears of others. He chose it because he could imagine what kind of aftershock would be if the world watched the two of them. In the direction of eliminating the two at the risk of being hated by the artificial intelligence Alice. But none of them knew. Dex is at the level of destroying the bnce of the universe just by being Dex. That he is a game genius beyond imagination. Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Jukchang Daejeon (8) The second round of the Jukchang Daejeon begins. This second round, which started with a thousand people, had changed a lot so that it waspletely different from the previous one. What are these? A green mist began to spread from the outskirts of the ind. The fog, which looked toxic at first nce, spread towards the center of the ind little by little, as if it were a living creature. [ah! Even if it''s a thousand people, it''s hard to meet forever if you''re hiding from each other on this vast continent, right? So, we specially prepared for them to meet each other even if they were forced to do so. Fog of poisonous smoke!] Damn it! You should tell me these things! Is it worth it if you tell me the details of the strange patch? hey! move fast! We are right next door! Users returned to their original positions. Some of them were summoned from the outskirts of the ind, so they had to leave quickly. pug. [I was attacked in the leg by an arrow aiming for surprise.] [Fatal blow!] [Paralysis poison from the arrow is activated.] [Abnormal paralysis slowdown is applied.] Keuugh! what! Its a surprise attack! Disperse immediately! I don''t even know if it came from somewhere. That''s why everyone scattered at the speed of lightning. hey! Take me too! Hey hey! Of course, he was hit by an arrow that had been poisoned with paralyzing poison in his leg, and he was unable to move. Chiyiyi profit. But right behind him, a burning tree roars furiously and withers in an instant. Just by looking at it, I could feel how toxic the slow-spreading mist of the poisonous mist was. Damn it... He started crawling with all his might to avoid the poisonous mist that seemed to be aiming at him from behind. Chiiyi profit. However, the fog of poisonous smoke was notpassionate enough to wait for him who was too tired to walk. So, in the end, he was enveloped in the rapidly spreading fog of poisonous smoke and had no choice but to drop out alone. [Hehe.... It hasn''t been long since we started, but there are already deaths!] The goblin shouts with a funny expression while showing the video of the person who just got eliminated on the huge screen. [Be careful, everyone. Because the poisonous mist is so toxic that no one can withstand it!] A new penalty that has never been created before. The strategy of hiding where no one knows and holding out until the other survivors are eliminated is impossible because of this poison gas. Somehow, as time passes, they have no choice but to gather in the center of the ind. What do we do....? I think we should start moving slowly...? It was quite far away, but the situation where poison gas began to push in at a distance that was still within sight. Angelina asked Jaeyoung, who was still, with anxious eyes, but Jaeyoung looked at her and said. Im sorry, but you and I are going to have to split and move here. what....? At Jaeyoung''s words to go alone, Angelina asked with a puzzled expression. Why all of a sudden....? Angelina whose equipment items are sealed. Coincidentally, seeing Jaeyoung, who brought out the words to separate at such a timing, she even started to feel sad. That''s why I mustered up the courage to ask Jaeyoung. Perhaps it''s because I can''t wear equipment items... Angelina, who can only use 2nd circle magic at level 43. To put it bluntly, her power was below the level and was weak enough that she had to endure losses rather than gains to be in the same party. And she, who knows her situation very well, was more touched by Jaeyoung''s words. No, not for that reason. ...then why are you doing that? Angelina''s question. However, Jaeyoung muttered, scratching his face as if he was in trouble. Hmm... this is a bit ambiguous... its because of my passive skill. Passive skill...? Jaeyoung''s passive skill thatpletely ignores physical damage. However, Angelina couldn''t understand the reason for the separation and what it had to do with it. Oh, that''s not what I''m talking about, it''s something else. what....? Jae-young, who was possessed by the ghost of dusk as a spirit. Thanks to a trick that could be called a bug, I was able to suck all the honey, but when I saw that it was immediately blocked, it was easy to infer that the gamepany''s trick was mixed. First of all... the trick I will use doesnt apply to you, so if I stay with you anyway, only you will be eliminated. So, lets move separately for now. Um... I get it first. Then... move carefully and see you again in the third round. Equipment items are usable, so take good care of them. Dont get involved with the weird guys carrying bamboo spears. A group of 200 people shouting bamboo spears while wearing bright red headbands. The thought of bing the target of such a relentless and vicious group that even those who were rankers would shake their heads made me feel a sharp pain in the back of my head. Yeah I will. You too, dont meet strange people and be careful! Yes... Angelina left Jaeyoung looking back as if she was anxious until the end. She began to walk towards the center of the ind alone, holding onto the staff of the only rank. Phew.... Finally, its gone. Really... he was a very noisy person. As Angelina leaves, Tan and L sigh in relief behind Jaeyoung. Looking at the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung looked at them with an absurd look and said. I dont think the two of you will lose if its just loud enough... What? What do you mean? Tan and L screamed in anger at the words at the same time. The two of them looked into each other''s eyes for a moment, as if they were embarrassed to shout at the same time. And it was Tan who blew the first bread this time. I used to be quiet! All because those damn chicken wings keep arguing... Farling! You goddamn bat bastard! Because you keep doing things you can''t see with your eyes open...! Dont do bats bats! This chicken! Leaving the two thumping again behind, Jaeyoung was moving slowly. As the others walk towards the center of the ind. On the other hand, Jaeyoung was walking leisurely towards the outskirts of the ind. Chiyiyi profit. A deadly poisonous fog that spreads and burns all living things. Looking at it, Jaeyoung sighed softly. Kangshin. Poison King Azakar. [The existence of the demon world dwells in the yer''s body.] [The power of the existence that dwells temporarily can be disyed.] Newly adjusted stats along with the activation of the Spirit skill. Opening the skill window, he smiled as soon as he discovered the passive skill. [Toxic Resistance Master.] [Invulnerable to Poison, Rank 2.] [Toxic Affinity Master.] [Blood Poison Generation Rank 3.] It wouldn''t be strange to start with poison and end with poison, but the skill window is full of poison. . Jae-young, who had strengthened the poisoned existence to the point where the blood itself was deadly poison, asked Tan with a confident face. For a person of this level, wouldnt it be ridiculous to use this level of poison gas? Uh...but can I do this, Master? what? That... I heard it earlier, it looks like a game, wasn''t this poison gas installed to keep it moving toward the center of the ind? Tan seemed to understand the rules of this Jukchang Daejeon better than anyone else. He asked Jaeyoung with a very curious expression. yes....? But... the owner is on the opposite side of the ind. It''s theplete opposite of our intention to gather in the center of the ind. Will that work? Tan''s exemry question. When asked if he should y the game fairly and abiding by the rules, Jaeyoung involuntarily burst intoughter. Puhaha. From time to time, it seems that you are too innocent to be called a devil. what? Tan red at him as if he was angry when he said he didn''t look like a devil. However, Jaeyoung muttered as he walked into the poisonous fog that was slowly creeping in. Of course, the rule itself is that you have to go inside the ind. Most of them don''t want to, but because of this poison gas, they keep moving to the center of the ind, and in the meantime, they run into each other and are fighting fiercely. It is now impossible topletely ignore the bamboo spear. That''s why Jaeyoung devised a way to pass the second round safely more than anyone else. And that''s right..... Then what would happen if the opposite direction were not towards the center of the ind but towards the outside? Um... youre going to be left alone? ah! You can''t... Tan seemed to realize something at Jaeyoung''s words. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung muttered with an evil smile. okay. Even if all of those people are suffocated by poison gas in the center of the ind, I will survive unconditionally. Out of those 1000 people. [Warning You have entered the poisonous fog area.] [Deadly poison covers the yer''s body.] [Passive skill Toxic Resistance is activated.] [Passive skill Poison Resistance is activated.] [Blood poison generation activated. The absorbed poison seeps into the blood.] As soon as you set foot in an area full of poison gas, a full spear pops up. Jaeyoung checked his stamina and settled down in a ce full of withered bushes that had turned into and of death, whistling as if he knew it. Clear the 2nd round. At this moment, Jaeyoung decided to pass the second round of the Jukchang Daejeon faster than anyone else. With all sorts of tricks, tricks, and expedients. * * * While Jaeyoung settled down in the poison gas, the yers gradually began to move towards the center of the ind to avoid the green death that came from all sides. die! Spinning des! Knock it off! Fire Arrow! Windwork! Kwaaang. pop. Kwak. Small battles that happen sporadically here and there. As people flocked to the center of the ind, they were fighting fiercely without any momentum to back down. [Kiki Kiki... Unlike the previous episode, maybe it''s because only the talented survived, so it''s really worth watching.] Every battle taking ce here and there was a spectacle to the extent that the goblins in the skyughed and watched as if they were having fun. And those who were eliminated in the first round and those who did not participate at all ate popcorn while watching their fight for survival, which was broadcast live through streaming. -and. After all, the battles of rankers are different. -So what skill control is so fast? -No, who is that person who shoots from 800 meters away? - Mage vs Warrior. The winner is a warrior. While happily watching the battle of the survivors, everyone froze in astonishment and shock at the battle taking ce in one ce. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... What the hell are you? Red g, the leader of the Revolutionary Corps leading the Jukchang Peace Movement, looked at a user standing in front of him and asked, breathing heavily with a shocked look on his face. Numerous corpses of usersy gray around these two. The fact that everyone except himself was wiped out made Red g mutter to himself as if he couldn''t believe it. How.... all of us alone... A revolutionary group that was moving on an unbelievable scale of 200 people. They met him dressed as an ordinary swordsman and tried to show the true taste of bamboo spears through humane tactics as usual. However, the result was the opposite. Of the 159 remaining yers, 158 tasted the true taste of bamboo spears and were eliminated from the game. Like the red g, who couldn''t understand the situation at all, the reaction of users who were watching their battle video in real time was also explosive. -Wow... What was that? -I lifted it up in the air, then attacked 3 more times, thenunched it again and attacked..... -That''s it? How many skills did you use in that short moment? -No, does evasion maneuver make sense? You really dodged all the iing bamboo spears with a gap of one inch and even counterattacked! An attack with an incredibly fast tempo. He was standing in a very rxed posture as he efficiently taught himself with bamboo spears one by one while moving around the battlefield mixing various skills and general attacks at a speed that ordinary users could not imagine. What are you...? Can it be a hidden ss? How on earth...? An opponent holding only a bamboo spear that everyone has. However, the tremendous movement he showed was beyond the scope of the ordinary, so the red g stuttered and shouted. Poo-wook. A red g that was pierced by a bamboo spear and rapidly turned gray and died. Their revolution, which began with bamboo spears, ended with bamboo spears. However, at the same time, a new divinity was born in the praise of numerous users. A divinity named Casis, a swift swordsman. Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Jukchang Daejeon (9) After the second round of the Jukchang Daejeon ended. Public opinion was more favorable than expected. -Wow, this is getting more and more fun? -I know. It was more exciting than the 1st episode, which was something Jung-gu heating. -Ah, I think it would have been really fun if I had survived. it''s a shame. The Arfandiamunity is filled with stories that are so much fun and regretful that I can''t participate. In addition, game-rted articles posted on various portals also covered this event favorably. [Jukchang Daejeon is getting more and more exciting. List of leading candidates for the championship.] If the first round of the Jukchang Daejeon took ce in chaos due to therge number of participants, this time, the process of a small number of people surviving through fierce strategies and mindful battles was impressive. In particr, there were users who stood out in sporadic battles, and among them, we predicted who would be thest survivor. First..... [The bamboo spear revolutionaries were annihted in shock alone.] [Speedy swordsman Casis. What is his identity?] Among the various articles, these are the topics that draw the most attention. It was Casis, the swift swordsman who first revealed his existence in the second ythrough. Unusually, he did not refuse interview requests flooding in from all over the ce, and revealed who he was by revealing himself to the public. [I don''t know if it''s because I enjoyed action RPG games a lot in the past, but it was pretty easy, right? If the timing is right, you can unleash an infinite attack by linking skills. Of course, you have to put a lot of t hits in between.] [Ah, how do you hit t hits? I just imagined my movement in my head and moved my body to say that it would move. It''s a motion that you can''t do in real life even if you tell it to do it, but what... I wonder if it can be specially calibrated or it works in virtual reality?] His body movements seemed to ignore gravity and thews of physics. His mboyant physicality, reminiscent of a stuntman, was far out of the realm of control that ordinary people could overstep. -Wow..... No, that''s okay? -I tried to follow the video after watching the interview, but it was absolutely impossible. - It''s a deception! deception! how do you follow that His physical ability is to do three rotations in the air, run on the wall, but do it over hundreds of meters. Looking at it, people were able to clearly realize the reality that the crotch of a cuckoo is torn while copying a stork. [Hmm... Well, maybe I''m special, but I don''t think so. There may be people who are better than me, and I enjoy a lot of action games, so it''s just because I have a more specialized part in that area. Maybe people who enjoy action games can do something simr to me?] An action game wherebos and skill connections are the most important. Casis, who uses his experience to the fullest, shows off his unrivaled power in Arcadia. As interviews about him began to spread widely, there were even people who praised him blindly. - Ohhhh. Combo attack is the best..... -Those who want to start ying Arcadia First of all,plete Dead Soul, the highest peak of action games, to beforeing. - Not stagnant water, but rotten water. No, it''s a level that only those who have be oil can climb..... It''s not just strength, it''s cool and cool in the splendid production, so there are even people who volunteer to be fans of Casis. However, despite such explosive poprity, Arcadia''s employees did not pay any attention to him. No, to be precise, I couldn''t afford to pay attention to him. Kwah bang. Aaaaaaaa! What is that bastard really! The process of checking the final survivors of the 2nd Jukchang Daejeon. Dex, a person of interest discovered in the process. Even if I wanted to detect and monitor him in real time, I couldn''t do that, so I didn''t know at all during the second round, but after breaking up with Angelina, I knew where he was heading after the second round ended. hey! That poisonous mist! What did you set that up for? Team leader Jang Tae-young goes mad as he ms the desk with his fist, almost losing his sanity halfway. The employee, who read the madness in his bloodshot eyes, hurriedly yed the keyboard with a sharp look, and soon came up with the answer he wanted. With the settings we made... It is a deadly poison that causes a level 200 level of poisoning. Poisoning level 200. That means you can survive for 10 minutes with the average ability of a level 200. Considering that the current maximum level of the 2nd Continent was over 160, I could guarantee that no one could survive in this poison gas. yes? But what about that bastard? But Dex is sitting in the grass, yawning and making a bored expression. Despite the poison gas that filled his surroundings, he inhaled and exhaled as if there was no effect at all. That... could be the effect of an item...? A dex that is estimated to be able to produce the only ss item. Considering the performance of the item he made, I thought he might have worn an item rted to poison resistance, but I had no choice but to shut up in a hurry at Team Leader Jang Tae-young''s tearing eyes. Did you forget to put restrictions on wearing items? Ah... thats right. sorry. ..... The office fell into silence in an instant. But someone carefully brought up another guess. Isnt that... a skill effect? skill? Yes..... It''s not an item problem, but the level of poison gas we''ve set isn''t that low either... I think the most likely reason is rted to skills. ..... Team leader Jang Tae-young was silent for a moment at those words. After answering, he looked at the nervous staff and asked again. Check what level or higher the skill level must be in order to be fully immune to the poison that causes level 200 poisoning. All right. The employee, who had been ying with the keyboard while typing something for a short time as if he was running a simtion, replied with a tilt of his head. Basic toxic resistance is at least rank 3... Even assuming you have a higher level resistance skill, you need to be at least rank 5 to get full immunity. Its Rank 3... Do you think its possible for the current user to have that level of skill rank? To that question, the employee shook his head without hesitation. Absolutely impossible. I don''t know if it''s a normal attack skill, but in the case of a resistance skill, it doesn''t make sense to reach such a high rank in such a short time. Skill rank system divided into stages from F to A rank and 9 to 1 rank. It was a level that could be climbed by training hard for several months to A rank, but skill training boasted extreme difficulty andbor to the extent that one had to devote a tremendous amount of time to training from entering the number rank to climbing one by one. Especially in the case of resistance series. I don''t know if you''ve been in a poisoned state since you opened it and haven''t taken a single day off, but if that''s not the case, it''s impossible to raise your poison resistance to level 3. The staff speaks in a very firm tone. However, team leader Jang Tae-young gritted his teeth so strongly that he was worried that he might break them as he watched Dex try to take a nap with such a rxed attitude as if he was refuting the employee''s words. puddeudeuk. however! Why is that bastard like that?! Aaaaaa! Please, please, the existence that I wished to be eliminated. The fact that he passed the second round sofortably while hiding from poison gas without even lifting a finger made Team Leader Jang Tae-young angry. Please calm down. Didn''t that user named Angelina drop out though? Angelina with a set of poverty. She still fought desperately for survival with fraudulent weapons, but was it because she couldn''t wear aplete set? Although he struggled in a battle with a ranker he encountered by chance, he was unable to ovee the limits of low circle magic and ended up being eliminated. The girl didn''t care! I hoped that bastard would be eliminated! The existence that gave Angelina a ridiculous item in her hands. The anxiety he felt was even greater because he was an unknown being who waspletely blocked from ess to even the slightest bit of information. Um... Chief? why! Well... Whatever it is, shouldn''t the rules regarding that poison gas be changed? If you do it like this again in the third round... A fierce battle for survival between 100 elite users. The time when thest survivor who won the breathtaking battle is about to im the glory and reward as the victor while cheering. What if you''re left alone and the game doesn''t end? [Number of survivors remaining: 2] It is said that there are definitely survivors, but the final winner is looking for another opponent who does not even exist in a narrow space where poison gas has flowed all the way to the center of the ind. In the end, he slowly dies from the poison gas thatpletely engulfed the entire ind without finding his opponent. And team leader Jang Tae-young, who imagined the image of the users watching in real time and Dex hiding in the poison gas and not lifting a finger, remaining as the final winner and collecting rewards, shuddered as if in horror. no! Absolutely no way! Team leader Jang Tae-young ran to Manager Kang Tae-hoon at those words. Because of his strong insistence, the rules of the 3rd Jukchang Daejeon were changed again. [3rd level manager Kwon Myeong-han, executive director. Execution of manager''s authority.] [Adjustment of Poison Mist''s rating. Supetive level.] [Added nullification of resistance skills.] [Inflicts the highest level of poisoning.] [This is an unreasonable additional patch that uses the authority of the administrator, but shoots a specific number of people.] [Warning. An additional penalty will be added ordingly.] The artificial intelligence Alice warns against the exercise of authority by the managing director who has rmended it. But as if he couldn''t help it, he muttered an excuse with a frustrated and bitter expression. What would you do if it was unfair? It goes against our purpose. [It is rmended to consider various situations in advance and prepare countermeasures.] Alice, an artificial intelligence who is fair to everyone and a thorough principled person because she is not human. She reacted sharply and warned Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, as if she didn''t like this situation, where unfavorable patches were continuously applied to certain users who had not nned in advance. [Currently, 2 unreasonable ex officio patches made with the administrator''s authority have been umted. We warn that the request may be rejected and reported to the upper level in the event of an additional unreasonable ex officio patch being triggered.] Ellis is currently making a bloody statement of two outs. At her words, Kwon Myung-han nodded bitterly. Okay... I promise. This will be the veryst patch for this event. [All right. I''ll save that promise in the database.] As if the business was over, the monitor screen turns off and Alice disappears. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon looked at the monitor that was turned off and sighed. Now... this is the end of this damn event... Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who was relieved that there was only onest episode left, didn''t know. That the promise he had just made with Alice that this would be hisst was a crazy thing he should never have done. And Dex is a fraud by itself. That he is a game genius with the reputation of being one-man invincible. Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Jukchang Daejeon (10) Before the final round of the Jukchang Daejeon begins. Jaeyoung spent time with Angelina on Fantastic Ind, where he returned to his original form. ah! I''m really sorry. I also wanted to go to the third round with you... Angelina was eliminated after a fierce battle with the ranker she met in the second round. She licked her lips and looked curiously at Jaeyoung, who was eating the parfait. But how on earth did you survive the poison gas? Angelina heard from Jaeyoung how to pass the 2nd round. She admired his performance(?) that he survived safely by hiding from the poison gas. Of course, there is a premise that you must be able to withstand the toxicity, but it was a method that could not be easily imagined, so she looked at Jae-young, who was going through this event in an original way, with admiration. You survived with your skill feet. Jaeyoung answered indifferently as if it was nothing. It would probably not be strange to grab someone by the cor and shake it to tell them to cheat, but Angelina didn''t care at all. Rather, he gave Jaeyoung a thumbs up and said. Then isnt winning the 3rd round a certainty? You just have to hide in the poison gas and wait until everyone dies! Unlike the previous 1st and 2nd rounds, when 1000 and 100 survivors were filled, only one person could survive in the 3rd round. So, if Jaeyoung''s trick of hiding from the poison gas worked this time too, it was clear that the poison gas would engulf the entire ind and not stop until everyone except him died. I do, but... you probably wont? huh? why....? Dont you remember what happened after our first round? Theres no way a gamepany would just let a trick like that happen. Ah... that''s right... Jaeyoung and Angelina showed off their fraudulent y in the first ythrough. Considering that measures were taken to prevent such a trick immediately before the start of the second round, there was a high chance that the method would be blocked this time as well. And as if the prediction was correct, the goblin appeared in the sky over Fantastic Ind and shouted to everyone in a loud voice. [Now... Now it''s finally time to start thest 3 rounds of the Jukchang Daejeon. Before that, there are additional changes first.] Changes...? also....? People who tilt their heads at the word that there are changes. However, upon hearing that, Angelina and Jaeyoung could immediately notice the change. [The performance of the Poison Mist that spreads from the outskirts of the ind is greatly enhanced. As for the level... Um... It''s a level that can never be stopped by any resistance skill.] Huh? What are you talking about? Why are you doing such a patch all of a sudden? Users who do not know the Englishnguage are buzzing. Anyway, before and now, poison gas spreading from the outskirts of the ind was an element that had to be thoroughly avoided, so no one understood the intention of strengthening it. Except for just two. It''s true..... Angelina had a slightly sullen expression when she saw that Jaeyoung''s prediction was right, but Jaeyoung said calmly with a casual expression as if she was okay. It doesn''t matter anyway. I was thinking of doing it properly for thest episode. Trying to do it properly...? Angelina tilted her head, as if not understanding the meaning of the words. However, Jaeyoung muttered as he looked at a user waiting for the start of the 3rd match from far away. It''s been a while since my opponent showed up. Swift swordsman Casis. Through his interview video, Jaeyoung recognized who it was at once. In the past, PC and console games dominated the entire market. Exciting action RPG game Icarus that requires extreme control and physics. A vast array of weapons, with over 100 avable weapons and auxiliary equipment listed. Thebination that can be made in a battle that takes advantage of all of them is literally infinite, and it is truly a devil''s game that brings about enormous deviations depending on the user''s ability to y. And there were two people who got the highest score every time in that game and their names were fixed on the ranking board that was updated once a week. 1st Dex. 2nd ce Casis. These two who upy the first and second ce for ten thousand years. Casis was able to engrave his name on the first ce after Dex disappeared because he was not interested in ying Icarus anymore, but until Dex was active, he never made a record beyond Dex. I see... I wonder if it''s a little better here? Casis didn''t know it, but Dex was watching Casis with a bit of anticipation. In anticipation of a duel with a rival he hadn''t seen in a long time. [ruler. Just keep an eye on the changes... Now let''s set things up before the game starts?] Angelina disappears in an instant when she flicks her finger. The terrain where most of the users who enjoyed Fantastic Ind disappeared somewhere and turned into a thick jungle again. And again, the bamboo spear was heard in Jaeyoung''s hand. [Again, you''d better stay away from the Poison Mist this time. It''s dangerous enough to cause death even with a very brief exposure.] The goblin warns us not to be dazed by the poison gas again. Jaeyoung knew that he was talking to himself, but Jaeyoung nodded as if he didn''t care. [Now... then, thest 3rd Jukchang Daejeon starts right now!] Pang. Fang Fang! With those words, a count of 100 floated in the sky and firecrackers exploded wildly. Chiiyi profit. And from the outskirts of the ind, unlike the second round, a ck fog that looked ominous just by looking at it instead of green light began to spread. Wow... what is that poison? It almost seems like the level of venom that the demon king of disease needs to concentrate for hundreds of years toe out? I feel an unpleasant aura that makes me want to burn it with a torch. The fog was poisonous enough to the extent that Tan and El threw one word at a time. Jaeyoung walked towards the center of the ind while watching the solo dance that made her step back just by looking at the visual. You wont get stuck in the poison gas this time, will you? When Tan asked, seemingly unexpectedly, Jaeyoung nodded and replied. Its thest one, so we have to fight properly. okay? Shall I prepare a good man specialized inbat? Tan gives greedy eyes at Jae-young''s words and is secretly devising ways to rip off the probability with his strong body. But this time, Jaeyoung shook his head because there was a person he had already marked. No, its okay this time. L Can I borrow your strength? Sure. Celestial beings are always ready to lend you their power. Whether it''s because of the possibility of tearing it off or because he''s happy that he asked for help, L shows a bright smile for no reason. Jaeyoung nodded at her words and activated the skill. Kangshin. All-Weapon Master Calypso. Whoops. [The celestial being Calypso dwells in the yer''s body.] [The power of the being that dwells temporarily can be exerted.] Powerful power springs up when the Spirit skill is activated. Jaeyoung activated the skill he had checked beforehand as a test. King of All Byeongji (f֪). Whoops. An intangible weapon that changes freely ording to the yer''s will. With the intangible weapon made of pure magic in his hand, Jaeyoung began to wield it as a test. Hmm... It goes roughly like this... Great sword, rapier, long sword, heavy shield, round shield, long bow, cross bow, boomerang, throwing star, mace, throwing grappling hook, dagger, etc... literally dozens of types of weapons in an instant. Surprise came to Tan and L''s eyes as they saw it being implemented. What is that ridiculous mana management? It''s amazing..... Even Calypso, the owner of that power, would not be able to make such a quick transition... Wasn''t Cheongchuleoram the right word for this? Tan and L were genuinely surprised to see Jaeyoung using his skills freely at a speed that even the owner of power would not dare to touch. The fact that humans, who live less than a hundred years, have an outstanding level that isparable to that of ancient dragons, which they have gained through thousands of years of hard work. Now...then lets do this rough demonstration practice... Shall we start soon? what....? Tan looked at Jaeyoung, who was warming up, with strange eyes and asked. What is it? I have to go get rid of mypetitors. Jae-young started running toward the center of the ind, saying it was natural. And another skill was already activated in his eyes. [Skill matcher''s instinct has been activated.] [Skill fighter''s eye detects a suitable opponent.] Jae-young, who passively pursued safe y in the 1st and 2nd rounds. He ran away with a warlike spirit, not paying attention to his previous appearance. Looking forward to a match against Casis, apetitor he has been facing for a long time. * * * General users selected as 100 survivors, excluding out-of-topic figures who far exceed the norm. Unlike the 1st and 2nd rounds, which were aggressive, they yed the game as passively and defensively as possible. How did you survive until now, but if you mess around and die, it will be a loss. I''m going to hide as much as possible and conserve my strength, and fight after thepetition is reduced as much as possible. From now on, it will be a thorough defensive battle. The one who preupies the seat well will be thest winner. Poison gas spreading through the center of the ind. That''s why you and I both settle somewhere in the center of the ind and keep our eyes closed. However, they had no choice but to be frightened by the mysterious user who suddenly appeared. found! Quaang! A mysterious user who suddenly pops out from somewhere andunches an attack without asking or questioning. What are you! What the hell is it...? They were taken aback by the sudden attack, but as if to prove that they were among the top 100, they prepared themselves andunched a counterattack. Chaeeng. Tucan. Chanang. What is that weapon! Once upon a time while his swords collided. The opponent''s weapon continued to change. One rapier thrust. Another time, a greatsword strike. And another time, a shield m. Change into numerous weapons, activate various skills, and surprise attacks. So many weapons, so many skills, so many irregr and spontaneous attacks. As if they were originally one, they were harmoniously connected like flowing water, giving fatal damage in an instant and putting them in a dying state. Keuuuugh... such nonsense... A user fell into a state of fainting, unable to move his body temporarily due to a moribund state. Looking at him like that, Dex muttered as if it wasn''t bad. It connects like water flows more than I thought. At this speed, I think I''ll be able to put in morebos than I did in Icarus... but I need to experiment more, but it ended too quickly... Jeop. Dex muttered as if regretting that he died so soon. The other user who heard his words tried to say something with a ridiculous expression on his face, but Jaeyoung''s bamboo spear was faster. Poo-wook. Clear one person for now. When Jaeyoung stabbed him with a bamboo spear, the count decreased to 99. Looking up at the count in the sky, Jaeyoung murmured. I still have a lot to experiment with, but I have to move quickly... A golden opportunity to conceive and apply multiplebos using many weapons, simr to what I did in Icarus in the past. Jaeyoung started moving quickly to find a scapegoat to experiment with thebos he had in mind. Without knowing that his battles are being broadcast on the Inte through streaming broadcasts in real time. Chapter 63 Chapter 63 The Battle of the Bamboo Spear (11) Arcadia''s officialmunity site, Arfandia. People connected to Arfandia were busy watching the progress of thest bamboo spear battle being streamed in real time. -Who will win? -Jukchang! Bamboo spear! -Is Casis going to win first ce? It wasn''t really a game of fighting skills..... -I don''t think the other rankers were that easy, but, well..... As soon as the match started, the chatting window became hot as they predicted who would be the final winner. However, after the process of the first dropout was broadcast vividly through streaming. The chats that came up so quickly that it was hard to read with the naked eye stopped in an instant, as if they had promised. -...? -What is that just now? A battle that took ce in a short period of time, less than one minute. Those who watched the battle vividly started chatting explosively as if they couldn''t believe it. -what! that! does that make sense? - Crazy did you just see it? As for the weapons used, a rapier, a great sword, a long sword, a heavy shield, a dagger, a hammer... How many are there? -What''s your skill? I used at least 14bat skills alone! - Who is that? Are you a first-time user? It was a one-sided assault that showed unrealistic body movements and exploded all kinds of skills and linked attacks at once in harmony like flowing water. People were astonished at his tremendous skill in quickly eliminating opponent users without giving them a chance to counterattack. And while everyone was wondering about his existence, a message log popped up all over the screen. [yer Dex'' won the battle with yer Pale vored Beer''.] -Dex? that dex? -really....? It''s not Gura, is it real Dex? Users who y Arcadia even while purchasing expensive connectors. Most of them had enjoyed ying various types of games in the past, so they were well aware of the status of the name dex''. One person invincible. hermit master. Possessing monstrous physicality and devilish strategy. When his nickname was mentioned as a yer in this Jukchang Daejeon, the chat room heated up iparably to the previous atmosphere. -It''s Dex! Dex is back! - Hey hey! I believed! There''s no way that game junkie could just pass by virtual reality! -and! oh my god! brother! I''m a real big fan! - I shout today too! Dexmen~~!!! -hey! Hit them all! Dex is the winner for sure! Chats explode in an instant. When too much content started pouring in at once, people were so enthusiastic that it reached a saturation point where the texts were quickly buried upwards without having time to read. An existence hidden behind a veil that has the level to fool pro gamers, but never reveals its identity. A terrible game addiction, and at the same time, a rare game genius Dex from heaven. It''s his splendid return. * * * [yer Dex'' won the battle against yer Purple is delicious''.] Chew. Ha... This is really annoying. A notification sound that sounds every time one person is eliminated and a text window floating in the sky. Although this was unintentional, Dex licked his lips as if regretting the fact that his nickname was being exposed to yers in Arcadia. Is it because there are only 100 left? Every time you drop out, you let me know too much. In the case of the previous 1st or 2nd rounds, there was no special guidance, so it was possible to y freely, but now it was difficult to be aware that there are people watching you every moment. Well... that won''t change anything, though. He is ying a hidden ss called Wanderers in a troubled world. However, Jae-young, who draws on the power of the heavens through Kangshin, was showing only his appearance as an all-weapon master. Hehe... Master, you are different from the outside, aren''t you? After all, it was not an ordinary existence. huh? suddenly? Tan and L, who kept watching his battle from behind, spat out their impressions. Hearing this, Jaeyoung tilted his head at the sudden praise of the two. Hey, there are only a handful of people like you who can fight well even among my extremely long list of evil students. And you havent even brought out your full potential right now, have you? As well as his fighting ability and senses... what the hell is the magic control that perfectly handles the king of all diseases? It is impossible for even Calypso, the creator of King of All Byeongji, to change the shape every moment of battle like that. Even the being who bes the owner of the power is astonished and says, What is that? Jaeyoung''s ability to bring efficiency to an absurd level to the point of shouting, That''s my strength? Upon seeing this, Tan and El reevaluated the beings they had been following. what? Don''t say anything strange. However, the person concerned went over without a big deal with a blunt voice as if he was embarrassed. [yer Kassias'' has won the battle against yer Anti-Taeje''.] [yer Kasiyas'' has won the battle against yer Shiba Inu Shiba''.] [yer Kisayas'' has won the battle. The battle with the yer Moonlight Warrior'' has been won.] A notification sound and message window popped up while Jaeyoung was hanging out for a while. Now, when the remaining survivors of the Jukchang Daejeon reached 10, the goblin who was watching the tournament in the sky of Fantastic Ind eximed in an excited voice. [It''s not long before the winner of this bamboo spear battle is finally decided! Of the remaining 10 survivors, who will be the final victor? Kiki Kiki Kiki.] Along with those words, a video appears filling up the sky of the ind. In the video full of the 10 survivors, Jaeyoung smiled deeply when he saw Casis, the target he had targeted in the third round. I feel like Ive been warming up to this extent... Shall we start the main game soon? Calypso''s power is now perfectly ripe. Jaeyoung slowly walked towards the center of the ind, connecting and designing countlessbos that came to his mind. Looking forward to a bout full of memories with past rtionships. * * * Jang Tae-young, the team leader who oversaw and was responsible for everything in this Jukchang Daejeon. He screamed while watching in real-time the action of Dex'', the subject of intensive surveince, who had been making his mind uneasy since the first ythrough. what! What the hell is that bastard! Quaang bang bang bang. Jang Tae-young, the team leader, was ovee with anger. He let out a grotesque scream with a maddening cry and hit the extension desk violently. What on earth is your job to be able to y such nonsense! Ability to nullify physical damage shown in the first round. And the only level of item production ability thatpletely throws away the bnce. Toxicity resistance ability to take a nap while freely inhaling the poison gas sprayed on the second ythrough like oxygen. Just looking at this, I wondered how he got his job and how he managed to do it, so I wondered if that was possible. I... Chief. what?! Team leader Jang Tae-young turned his head to the subordinate who called him. The subordinate stuttered, shrinking from the madness and murderous intent that radiated from his eyes. That''s... it seems that you have confirmed that user''s job. what? really? Team leader Jang Tae-young ran to those words and snatched the report he was holding. He looked over the contents of the report step by step and murmured. Hidden ss All Weapon Master? Yeah..... After checking the fighting method in the video, it seems to be ying very simr to the user of the topic, Kasiyas'', so I dug a little more. Unlike DEX'', where ess to information is strictly restricted, Kashiyas'' provides free ess. The subordinate found a very important clue in the process of checking his job and digging deeper into the data. It is very simr to the skills of All Weapon Master, a high-level hidden ss that can only be acquired by users with the fighter job that Casis is ying. The all-weapon master''s special skill. Using the King of All Byeongji, he is fighting with a weapon that changes freely at every moment. And it didn''t take long for that doubt to turn into certainty thanks to the tremendous sense of battle shown during the battle and the insane control that required extreme physicality. Wait a minute, then what were the images you showed before that? That... I dont know. A dex that shows a fighting style very simr to the hidden ss called All Weapon Master. Team leader Jang Tae-young also felt simr feelings to the confidence felt by his subordinates while checking his y in real time, but the y he showed in the 1st and 2nd rounds was still not exined. First of all, let''s say that bastard is the hidden ss called the all weapon master... That means that he is the hidden ss that is the top job for Casis, our leading candidate for the championship, right? ....yes. A subordinate who nodded with a firm expression at Team Leader Jang Tae-young''s question. His face was terribly distorted by that cruel and heartless reality. X-foot..... Team leader Jang Tae-young prayed to a god he doesn''t normally believe in. In this Jukchang Daejeon, I hope that Casis will thoroughly step on the bastard who is cheating on him by overdoing those heinous tricks and win the championship confidently. I prayed with a more earnest heart than ever before. * * * Jukchang Daejeon 3rd round. [Number of survivors remaining: 2 people] When the poison gas rushed in before I knew it, it engulfed the entire ind, leaving only the empty space in the center. In that clearing, only two yers stood facing each other. Casis. Dex. It was the first time they had met, but the two started talking as if they knew each other well. Is that skill still there? Survive to the end. ... I wondered where it disappeared, so was it ying Arcadia? Unlike Jae-young, who has a bright smile and a rxed attitude, Casis is watching him with a tense face. The audience watching the confrontation between the two went crazy with an explosive reaction. - Kiya! This is the real Jagangducheon! - Will Casis be able to atone for the past Icarus? -What are you talking about! How dare a second-ss person for 10,000 years surpass the first ce? -Deckmen~ I believe in you! -Hya..... Another historic match is taking ce here. A subtle rivalry between the two has spread through users who have yed Icarus in the past. Everyone was excitedly eating popcorn and watching the match between the two. How... have your skills improved since Icarus? Jaeyoung''s question seemed slightly ignored. As if his pride had been scratched by that question, Casis twitched his face and tried to answer calmly. ...As expected, that confidence is still the same. It will be very different this time. p. When ying Icarus, Casis felt frustrated every time he felt a huge wall. However, he raised his sword, determined to ovee that huge wall without fail this time. Hoh... But what are those weapons? that''s interesting. Jaeyoung''s eyes widened when he saw the various types of weapons firmly attached to Casis'' back. Fighter. A fighter who engages in life-and-death battles with any weapon he can get his hands on. He had to fight by quickly switching between various weapons ording to the situation to suit his job, so all kinds of weapons were piled up on his body. At Jaeyoung, who was looking at him with wonder, Casis jumped at him and swung his greatsword without replying. Chaeeng. The moment his greatsword was about to cut Jaeyoung in half, a huge greatsword appeared in his hand in an instant and blocked Casis'' attack. Whirly Rick. However, as if he expected that, the moment he put down his greatsword and turned around in the air, he tried to stab Jaeyoung''s neck with a dagger he had pulled out from somewhere. Caan. Jaeyoung also blocked the attack with a dagger he pulled out from somewhere. Caan. Caan. Caan. Since then, the attacks have been repeated several times with new weapons. However, Jaeyoung responded and blocked the attacks with the same weapon as Casis each time. pug. And Jae-young''s kick, which was rather a surprise attack, aiming for his gap. Casis, who was hit by it and flew several meters away, stood up in an instant even after rolling on the ground, and looked at Jaeyoung with stunned eyes while taking abat posture. How on earth...? Hey, what if you switch weapons so slowly? You can see it all. Jaeyoung looks at him as if he is reprimanding him, as if he is asking if this is the best. He told Casis in a disappointed tone. How can you not? It has toe in irregrly. If you try to put in abo like that, does that work? On the contrary, Casis couldn''t help but feel it again when he saw himining while giving lessons to himself. 1st ce in the general battle ranking of Icarus. The god of battle who shone at 1st ce in the best battle ranking of all time. Dex is the existence of a huge wall. Chapter 64 Chapter 64 The Battle of Jukchang (12) Arcadia, the world''s first virtual reality game. Casis is ying as a fighter in this virtual world that is no different from reality. He was shining here in Arcadia, disying thebat sense and experience he had honed in the past at Icarus to the maximum. p. [Quick drawing is activated.] [Equipment items are changed.] Casis maximizesbat power by switching weapons at the right moment regardless of various types of equipment. The fighter''s unique skill, quick draw'', assisted his fighting style and supported him to achieve maximum efficiency. How can you not go faster? It has toe in irregrly. If you try to put abo like that, does that work? Everything is obvious. However, Dex easily overpowers him in a way that is very simr to his own fighting style, and instead gives lessons. Looking at him, Casis went mad and jumped up and down. What the hell is that weapon? To change its shape freely... Arcadia''sbat system makes it almost impossible to change items worn during battle. Even Casis was able to fight while switching between various weapons with the skill quick draw'', but Jaeyoung went beyond that category. Whoops. A weapon that instantly changes its shape freely in Jaeyoung''s hand. As if on purpose, it continued to block Casis'' attacks in the form of an attacking weapon. Ah, this...? It''s a skill called King of All Diseases... It''s quite usable, right? ...A skill? Casis put on a nk expression at Jaeyoung''s words. A skill that allows you to freely change the shape of a weapon. It seemed as if he was shocked by the fact that he had such a skill that seemed to exist only for him, but soon he looked at Jaeyoung with genuine envy and said. Youre lucky... to get such an amazing skill. Strictly speaking, the skill of King of All Byeongji was not Jaeyoung''s strength. It''s just a power borrowed for a short time in exchange for rare probability. However, there was no need to tell him that, so Jaeyoung smiled at his words and replied. Isnt it? ...As expected then and now, you bastard Dex embarrasses me every time. Casis'' eyes changed. He began to pull out a sword with apletely different momentum than before. A sword...? Even from the outside, he grabbed a sword that was full of dust and felt like it had been neglected for a very long time. Casis, without even pulling it out of its scabbard, took up a sword pose and said. Then I''ll do my best. power....? What is that... Quaang. The sword flew in an instant before Jaeyoung could finish his words. Jaeyoung, who instinctively blocked the blow and couldn''t ovee the shock, flew dozens of meters andnded on a wooden pole. [Received critical damage.] [Abnormal condition fractures are applied.] [Movement is restricted until healing.] Hey! master! are you okay? That ck... As Jaeyoung flew far away, Tan and L flew in pping their wings. Tan, who saw Jaeyoung being beaten for the first time, was startled and made a fuss while L muttered while looking carefully at the old sword Casis was holding. Wait... it hurts so badly. As he tried to get up from his seat with a frown on his face, Jaeyoung quickly rolled his body to the side when he saw Casis narrowing the distance before he knew it. Kwajik. The sharp de of the sword mmed into the ce where he was. However, Casis continued to press Jaeyoung by swinging his sword at an abnormal speed. what....? It''s much faster than before...?'' The battle is taking ce at a speed far beyond the normal level. There is no need to say the tempo, and Jae-young, who is narrowly dodging his attack, rushing at him unconditionally. The reaction of the people watching the battle between the two was literally shock and horror itself. -No... Are they ying the same game as us? -Is Arcadia originally a game that can do that? -I don''t think that''s a high-level level..... -It was just a game of skill. Casis, who was constantly bombarding her with attacks at that tremendous speed, and Dexna, who was avoiding all of those attacks by a single point. Everyone agreed that both were abnormal, but opinions were still divided as to who would win. - No matter how you look at this, Casis will win? -I do not know yet. Do you see that Dex is taking damage? you avoid everything - What do you do if you avoid it? You can''t even counterattack, but if you run away and make one mistake, that''s it. -But why do I keep feeling like Dex will win? From the outside, Dex seems to be suffering one-sidedly. However, as time continued to pass, Casis stopped attacking with a look of boredom as he saw him looking fine. Really... you run away like a loach. Hehehehehehehehehehehe... Originally, avoidance is the basis of action RPGs. Jaeyoung exhales heavily from exhaustion. However, Casis also didn''t look very good, probably because he overdid it. The battle entered a brief lull. And then, suddenly, a window appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [Celestial being Calypso requests a conversation with the yer.] All Weapon Master Calypso, who lent Jaeyoung his strength. When Jaeyoung was tilting his head when he suddenly received a message asking for a conversation, L flew to Jaeyoung and started talking with a troubled expression. Dex-sama, that guy with the old sword over there... Uh. Why is he? It seems like a sign that Calypso left here before he died. It is said that it is an item arranged for the sessor who will carry on his legacy someday, but he continues to insist that he wants to talk about it directly, saying that it seems that something has gone wrong. what....? El''s words were roughly summarized as follows. The sword and his visions that he kept hidden after preparing the necessary things for the heir who would surely inherit his power. However, I don''t know why, but seeing Casis, who has a sword but has not inherited his will, Calypso thinks that his life has been cut off and is making a fuss. Jaeyoung, who had a rough idea of what he said, asked Casis. Hey, you got that sword... whilepleting the quest, right? ...why are you asking that all of a sudden? Casis looked at him with a look in his eyes asking why he was asking that out of the blue. However, Jaeyoung asked again in a tone that seemed to prompt him to tell the truth. Tell me quickly. You got it bypleting the quest, right? At Jae-young''s questioning, who seemed not to care about fighting, Casis nodded and admitted the fact. right. I got it after clearing the quest I got from a strange vagabond. [All Weapons Master Calypso is excited.] [All Weapons Master Calypso urges him to ask what happened to the ne that was with the sword.] Jaeyoung asked with a frown at Calypso''s behavior of throwing annoying messages. Aside from that sword... did you have any other nes? ...how do you know that? Casis widens his eyes at Jaeyoung''s question and makes a surprised expression. It doesn''t matter... Anyway, what did you do with that ne? do you have it? To that question, Casis thought for a moment before answering. It is true that I acquired the ne as well as this sword. However, the shop owner in the town I was in handed me a scroll saying that he had no skill to check unidentified items and that he needed to buy an appraisal scroll to check the performance. Casis slowly recalls his memories and brings out what happened at that time. Listening to his words, Jaeyoung swallowed strangely and asked. so....? How did you do it? To his question, Casis didn''t take it seriously. Do I need to spend expensive money to buy emotional scrolls? It''s a ne that doesn''t even look good anyway, so I just sold it along with the japtem. Calypso''s legacy was mixed with japtem obtained from hunting and sold into the hands of the shop owner. He didn''t know exactly what the ne was, but Jaeyoung could be sure that it was something very important. [All Weapons Master Calypso is shocked.] [All Weapons Master Calypso is furious with the heir who sold his legacy.] [ All Weapons Master Calypso shouts that he will rip that goddamn heir''s head off.] [All Weapons Master Calypso Weapon Master Calypso...] Messages pouring in enough to make you feel his anger just by text. And seeing the message that appeared at the end, Jaeyoung let out a small exmation with a strange expression. Wow..... [All Weapon Master Calypso requests the yer to fully descend temporarily.] [All Weapon Master Calypso promises to bear all the probabilities imposed after the advent.] Just the existence of heaven and hell . A strong spirit skill that temporarily borrows the power of others. However, Calypso went beyond that and dered that he would intervene and directly asked Jae-young to lend his body. Even with a promise that he would bear all the probabilities. L, is it okay? Jaeyoung asked L about an unexpected situation that he had never experienced while using the Spirit skill. However, L frowned as if he was ambiguous in judging something and was contemting something. Hmm... not in principle, but it is possible if you put the burden on probability. However, the burden would be enormous, so why do I have to go this far... At first nce, it seemed like an enormous amount of probability would be needed. But Calypso sent another message as if it was okay. [All Weapon Master Calypso growls, saying it doesn''t matter as long as he can punish that bastard.] Well... it''s good if you''re determined that much. In the name of Archangel Michael, the holy heavenly guardian, I authorize temporary intervention by All Weapon Master Calypso. Whoops. [All Weapon Master Calypsopletely dwells in the yer''s body.] [Switch control of the body. Direct y is temporarily restricted.] [The yer''s viewpoint switches to spectator mode.] With those words, Jaeyoung lost control of his body. And at that moment, he could clearly feel the presence of Calypso in his body. Hehehehehe... you sold that ne? Iron gruck. Dex suddenly changed his momentumpletely. As he got up and took a step forward, Casis looked at Jaeyoung with a nervous expression as if he had sensed the sudden change in the atmosphere. What are you? What are you doing all of a sudden...? It had only taken one step, but a great threat stirred Casis'' instincts. The so-called sessor... didn''t understand the deep meaning and love of the teacher he had prepared with great effort, and treated it like a by-product of minor things and handed it over to greedy merchants... What the hell kind of bullshit is that...? Weiying. Casis was astonished at the phenomena appearing around Jaeyoung, unable to speak. Weapons that seem to reach dozens or even hundreds. Numerous weapons that seemed to be made of magical powers floated in the air, threatening Casis with their anticipation. What kind of skill is that? Such nonsense...! Cluck cluck... Didn''t you ask that question earlier? what....? no way....! Casis is agitated at the situation where the difference in power is overwhelming even at first nce. He heard Jaeyoung''s words with a strangeugh and shouted with his eyes widened as if they were about to jump out. You foolish sessor, dont you think King of All Byeongji is just a level of power that allows you to freely change weapons? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh With Jaeyoung''s gesture, hundreds of weapons quickly flew towards Casis. Looking at it, Jaeyoung... No, said Calypso. This is... the true power of the King of All Byeongji (f֪). Chapter 65 Chapter 65 The Battle of the Bamboo Spear (13) All Weapon Master Calypso. Borrowing Jaeyoung''s body, he temporarily butpletely descended to Arcadia. ck-p... is it because its been so long since you left the continent? I didn''t know that this ce I was so fed up with would be so weing. Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam. Calypso enjoys leisure time and looks around here and there. However, in front of him was Casis, who did his best to avoid and block the pouring magical weapons. Keuuugh! Casis was hit in the side without being able to dodge thest huge hammer attack. He flew at breakneck speed and crashed into a tree pole before being able to stop. [You have suffered from abnormal status exhaustion.] [Even in intense battles, you need enough rest. Please pay attention to your physical strength.] [Received fatal damage.] [Falled out.] Haa... haa... what the hell is this. Dex suddenly changed at some point. After that, he continued to mutter unknown words, and showed his power to an absurd level, overwhelming him. Something''s strange...'' Dex now shows a sense of heterogeneity as if he were a different person. But besides his strange demeanor, there was something else odd. Whoops. [The old sword that has lost its name is shaken.] His sword continues to resonate as if it cannot control its trembling. Casis''s head began to spin rapidly as a phenomenon that he had never experienced while using this equipment had urred. ck cluck... is it already at the limit? Dex walks leisurely and slowly. Weapons made of blue magic were wandering around him, giving off a menacing appearance. As expected, it fell short of expectations. Seeing him roll on the floor like this without being able to properly block even this level of attack. His reprimand mixed with pitiful reproaches. However, Casis felt that Dex''s words contained a lot of mixed emotions. anger regret. and embarrassed. Feelings that are iprehensible to a merepetitor. At that time, Casis opened his mouth without knowing it and asked Calypso. You... who the hell are you? Whoops. The old sword crying again. At that moment, Calypso, who possessed Dex''s body, looked at the sword he was holding with sad eyes and murmured. Yeah... is it sad that you lost your mate? match....? A story told not to himself, but to the old sword he is holding. He looked at Casis and murmured as if he was really sorry. If the time allowed to me had been long, I would have found a really valuable gemstone and made it my sessor, rather than this idiot.... Unfortunately, I don''t have the time or space for that..... [The old sword that lost its name is sad.] Dex seems to be talking to the sword. Casis, who was watching this, opened his mouth in amazement. Can''t you stand...? Even though he''s a dumb and stupid guy, it''s not fate that he ended up in the hands of such a guy. For you and me, in a way, it''s also the only option left... Dex looks at Casis with a look that he really doesn''t like. He reached for the old sword held by Casis, who slowly stretched out in exhaustion. Please... take good care of that guy. Whoops. [The old sword that has lost its name expresses dissatisfaction, but is determined to understand the current situation.] [The old sword that has lost its name recognizes you as its owner.] [The old sword that has lost its name reveals its true name. Found.] [The hidden ability of the item is opened.] [The item''s grade is readjusted. Magic Unique.] [You have acquired the Hidden Change Quest, In Search of the Lost Ne''.] Messages suddenlye to mind. What is this...? Casis with a shocked expression. However, before he had time to ask, strange phenomena were happening around Dex. gripping support. phenomena of strange air currents. However, Dex had a bitter expression on his face as if he had expected it. As expected... I guess there wasn''t enough probability left for this level of intervention. [warning. All Weapon Master Calypso has artificially intervened beyond probability.] [Full Advent is forcibly canceled.] [y control is switched back.] [Spectator mode is canceled.] Temporarily, butpletely, Arcadia shows its appearance. Calypso exposed. However, after exhausting all probability to Casis, he left with a sad expression and disappeared. Please... I hope you show me that I don''t regret my choice, disciple..... Pajijijik. [The Spirituality skill has been canceled.] After that, the Spirituality skill waspletely canceled. Calypsopletely left Jaeyoung''s body, but Casis muttered to himself while looking at Jaeyoung with a nk expression. Master...? * * * Casis lies down in a dying state. And Jae-young, who came back with the control of his body. Jaeyoung looked at Casis, who was lying with the screwspletely removed, as if he was pathetic. Who is your master? I''ve never had a disgusting disciple like you, son of a bitch. Jaeyoung frowns with a blunt tone and expresses a sincere expression of disapproval. After roughly observing the situation in spectator mode, he started nagging Casis as if he was frustrated. No, it was a hidden quest. If you got a sword and a ne from there, of course you should think of it as a special item. Do you take it and sell it along with the japtem? y an RPG or two? A textbook-style hidden piece that can almost be called a clich of RPG games. However, Casis protested his words with a shy expression. All I''ve yed is an action RPG game. There was nothing like this in a game like that. An action RPG that values control and skill proficiency. Due to the nature of such a game genre, the equipment gap between users was minimized, and for the sake of fairness, all item performance was the same, so it was an element that Casis had no choice but to know. Of course, it was an iprehensible excuse for Jaeyoung, who has mastered all genres of games. Anyway... that ne seems to be a pretty important item, so when you''re done with this, go to the owner of the store and beg him to put it back. Jaeyoung''s heartfelt advice. To his words, Casis also nodded and replied. I thought so even if you didnt tell me. For the hidden former job, a quest was created from the ne to the quest to retrieve it immediately. Casis made a strange expression at Jaeyoung''s words and asked with a face full of curiosity. By the way... what the hell is your job? The one who fought me earlier was definitely not you. Casis notices that Jae-young''s job is not ordinary. In response to his question, Jaeyoung shrugged and ignored it. You don''t need to know that... I think it''s one of the hidden sses. More than that... I think we have to make a decision soon. What do you think? Chiyiyi profit. The super-powerful poison gas rushed in at an instant. Seeing the poison-filled fog encroaching on the nearby ces, Jae-young asked Casis, who was lying in a dying state. It looks like the decision has already been made... Casis, who still has a little time left before he recovers from dying, and Jae-young, who is standing still. Even if he wanted to wait, the poison gas was rushing in from behind as if he couldn''t wait, so Jaeyoung took out a green bamboo spear in his hand as if he couldn''t help it. Well... its a pity that the decision ended like this. It would have been nice if we could have fought more properly... Jaeyoung licked his lips as if he was genuinely sorry. Casis said in a voice mixed with strong determination as if he was making a promise to Jaeyoung. Wait just a little bit... The next time we meet again, I''ll be the standing winner. Poo-wook. Casis, who was stabbed by Jaeyoung''s bamboo spear at the end of those words, quickly turned gray. [yer Dex'' has won the battle against yer Kasiyas''.] [yer Dex'' has been selected as thest man standing.] [The final winner of the Jukchang Battle has been decided.] [Final sublime This is Dex'', who is sleeping.] Puff pup pup pup pong pompong. With the elimination of Casis, the poison gas that engulfed the entire ind disappeared in an instant. And a huge amount of firecrackers that light up the sky. On the screen that floated in the sky, Jaeyoung''s image was reflected proudly. [Kyahahahahaha! Finally, the final winner of the Jukchang Daejeon has been decided!] The goblin seemed excited. He flew round and round like crazy in the sky like an acrobat, then picked up a microphone and shouted. [There was a lot of discussion about who would win this match, but this is an unusual result!] The Jukchang Revolutionary Corps was shouting for equality for all people. An assassin ranker who was looking for an opening and eliminated one by one. And Casis, who showed a splendid appearance and stood out until the third episode. The 1st and 2nd rounds where I hid as much as possible and held my breath. People who saw Dex, who hadn''t even been mentioned at the time, show up in the third round and confidently win the championship, were enthusiastic. - Kya!!! Dex too! - I believed! Dexmen!! - But what is that? It''s a total scam - hahahahaha. Brilliante-from-behind victory. I knew it would be like this. - Casis, you got second ce again. -Really. It was like that with Icarus, and it''s the same with Arcadia. Jae-young showed a figure worthy of the reputation of the name Dex. Those who watched his battle were enthusiastic, but on the other hand, there were also those who raised doubts about his job. - What the hell is your job? Do you have any skills like that? -It looks like a hidden ss. Isn''t that a bit of a bncing act? - I also want to do a hidden ss. This sucks for luck. envy and envy. In the video, which is being vividly transmitted to the outside world through the goblin, whether or not he knows the mor of people with mixed and contradictory emotions, Jae-young meets the goblin for the first time. [Chuckles. Congrattions, thest winner.] The goblin smiles as he looks at him with strange eyes. He held out a leather bag in front of Jaeyoung and said. [This contains items from those you eliminated. You can only pick one here. Please make a wise choice. Giggles.] If you be thest winner, you can choose one of the dead people''s items and keep it as a reward. There were many rankers among those Jaeyoung killed, so the level of items he could choose from was higher than expected. [de Crocodile''s Armor - Unique] [Mermaid''s Tears - Unique] [Aramcha''s Arm Guard - Rare] [Imperial Magical Sword - Rare] ...A list of unique items that have not yet been released for sale. However, in the eyes of Jae-young, who had already seen the heavenly and demonic equipment owned by Tan and El, it was nothing more than mediocre equipment. They''re all items with a probability of less than 10,000 won.....'' Jaeyoung, who has already seen equipment beyond unique and epic levels, even legendary. Therefore, the list of equipment of these users did not satisfy Jaeyoung''s eyes. Then, with a sudden thought, I tilted my head and asked the goblin. Hey, it doesn''t matter if the user who dropped out had an item, right? [Kikiki.... that''s right. Why is that?] The goblin answered with a strangeugh. He gave a nk expression for a moment at Jaeyoung''s request, then muttered as if embarrassed. [yes....? Keuheum... No, that stuff... A little difficult.....] Why? Its an item the user who eliminated you had. [No... that''s true, but...] The goblin is making a really embarrassing expression. However, in the end, he had no choice but to take out the object he requested without giving a clear reason for rejecting Jae-young''s request. dental support. [Here it is.....] The thing that the goblin took out from the leather bag while sending out huge sparks. Everyone who watched it vividly through streaming was astonished. -???? -What is that? -Wow...is it true? The goblin asked directly and what he received was a green bamboo. Bamboo spears full of the idea of equality that everyone in the world is equal. That was the event reward item Jaeyoung chose. Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Settlement Right after the Jukchang War ended. The Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. started an emergency meeting with executives and general managers. Eh.... Thank you for attending this emergency meeting even though you are busy. A meeting ce where all management-level employees, led by Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, gathered. With President Lee Mi-yeon also present, the atmosphere was as cold as ice. First, lets talk about the current situation. In a situation where everyone was silent, President Lee Mi-yeon gave a signal to team leader Tae-young Jang, who was sitting in a state of panic, not knowing what to do with a pale face. Then he started talking while hesitating, receiving everyone''s cold stares. Eh... First, let me tell you about the current problem. The Jukchang Daejeon we prepared was sessfullypleted a few hours ago, but a major problem urred in the reward collection process. Is it a serious problem? That''s... it''s not what we expected, we received apletely wrong reward..... Wrong reward...? Jang Tae-young, the team leader, speaks bluntly about the reward. At his words, General Manager Kang Tae-hun sighed and replied. The winner chose a bamboo spear as a reward. Jukchang...? With those words, the detail window of the item appeared on therge screen in front of the meeting room. The murmur of those who saw it erupted from all over the conference room. What is that? No, did you let me take something like that? This crazy..... A bamboo spear, an item made for the Jukchang Daejeon event. Thoroughly made for the event, this item was just an ordinary bamboo spear with no attack power, but it was given a setting that could not be ignored. [Jukchang] A spear made of carved bamboo. It has an aura that symbolizes the equality of all people. -The target stabbed with authenticity is instantly killed. -Defense Completely ignores magic defense. Instant death of the target stabbed with authenticity. Ignoring Defense and Magic Defense. In other words, it is a truly super-powerful opener item that can cause death in one shot regardless of who the target is. As soon as they saw the item, everyone in the conference room put on a serious expression, as if they were thinking of how to use it in their heads. How the hell did you get that thing as a reward? No, how poorly you n an event, can you not anticipate a situation like that? yes? At those words, team leader Jang Tae-young lowered his blushing face and couldn''t bear to lift his head. In a situation where everyone wasining, he was sure that his promotion to general manager had been blown away. Damn it... until the end.....'' A user who desperately prayed to be eliminated from the first discovery of its existence. Until the end, Dex did not deviate from expectations and presented a huge and bulky taffy to team leader Jang Tae-young. Wait a minute. It seems that the target is not specified, so does it really apply to boss level monsters? Numerous monsters that haven''t even been revealed yet. Among them, there are transcendental beings that are originally set to a level that is impossible to kill, which users cannot attack no matter how hard they try. In particr, beings like Goldrian, the Dragon Lord who is the representative of dragons and praised as the guardian of Arcadia. It has not been confirmed with certainty, but it is assumed that it is. I don''t know exactly how and to what level that setting will be applied, but assuming the worst situation, it is possible. Oh... my God. This XXX..... People muttered at that word. In particr, in the case of the scenario team that ns various narratives of Arcadia, they strongly protested with excitement to the point of foaming at the mouth. No way! Even if you kill a few key NPCs with that bamboo spear, even if it''s not Goldrian, the scenario we''ve nned will bepletely twisted. The epic story of Arcadia, which was nned with the participation of dozens of famous screenwriters in an borateposition. A huge mainstream written in their hands. The story that it could be destroyed in an instant meant that all of Arcadia would be thrown into great chaos. First of all.... Since the worst has to be prevented, some level of intervention seems necessary. After listening to the story roughly, the conclusion reached by President Lee Mi-yeon. Everyone nodded their heads as they looked at her in agreement. Ellis. The text that appears on the screen at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. [Second-level manager Lee Mi-yeon, president. Confirmed. How can I help you?] I want to request a readjustment of the event reward items that yer Dex'' took. Is that possible? Event item bamboo spear. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was about to request a performance change for it, was initially taken aback by Ellis'' words. [Requests for re-adjustment of reward items are not possible.] ...why? Elise immediately replies that it is impossible. It is notmon for her to respond to any request as much as possible, so President Lee Mi-yeon asked slightly embarrassed. [There are already 2 unreasonable ex officio patches for the user.] [There is a guarantee that there will be no additional unreasonable patches.] ...What do you mean by that? A story you hear for the first time. In response to CEO Lee Mi-yeon''s question, a video appeared on the screen. [Okay..... I promise. Regarding this event, this is probably thest patch.] A video showing Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon saying it''s thest while ejacting in an anxious voice. Everyone who saw it fixed their eyes on Kwon Myeong-han. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han...? President Lee Mi-yeon, who has a grin on her face, but has a bloody spirit. She said, looking at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was staring nkly at herself, who said this was thest time with a pale face. Does this seem like a situation that needs some exnation? At that moment, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon sincerely regretted it. Realizing that thest promise to artificial intelligence should not be careless. * * * Hmm... is this going to happen? Jaeyoung holding a green bamboo spear in his hand. He smiled strangely as he checked the detailed exnation of the stretching bamboo spear. [Jukchang] A spear made of carved bamboo. It has an aura that symbolizes the equality of all people. -The target stabbed with authenticity is instantly killed. -Defense Completely ignores magic defense. A bamboo spear that can send any being to the Nether Road in one shot. It is also at the level of an absolute weapon that cannot defend or evade any target that has been set up additionally topensate for Jaeyoung''s trick in the first round. What is that ignorant fellow? This is... so amazing. Tan and L are terrified as they look at the bamboo spear Jaeyoung is holding with a startled expression, as if they can feel the power. Seeing the consistent reaction of the two, Jaeyoung tilted his head and asked. Why are you suddenly like that? Didn''t you show anything special before? On the event map, the two watched as they wielded bamboo spears without saying anything. However, the way they look at Jukchang now ispletely different from before. hey! The one I used in that strange dimension and the one I use here arepletely different! The amount of probability felt in that spear...really... A bamboo spear endowed with an absurd level of absolute settings. And in the eyes of Tan and L, the bamboo spear, filled with probability worthy of its power, was no different from a nuclear bomb about to explode. Hey, put that away. Just looking at it is scary. Really.... If that weapon is used, the entire continent will shake. At that time, watching the reaction of the two as if they felt fear beyond burden. Suddenly, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The operator is requesting a summons for the yer.] [Do you want to ept the summons?] A message indicating that the operator is requesting a summons. Seeing this, Jaeyoung was immediately convinced that it was because of the event reward he had acquired. Um... Jaeyoung can sense how ridiculous this item is just by looking at Tan and Ls reactions. He epted the request without any embarrassment because he thought that such an outside intervention would be inevitable. Dig. At the same time, a sh of light was reflected in Jae-young''s eyes, and he was transported to an unknown space. A woman greeted Jae-young with a bright smile while he was looking around here and there with curious eyes, ced alone in an office-like space stered entirely in white. Hello, Dex''. My name is Helenia, operator of Arcadia. Wearing a strange uniform, she offered Jaeyoung a chair and smiled brightly. It was nothing else, but I had to request a summons inevitably because I had a request regarding an item I received from this Jukchang Daejeon event. I really ask for your understanding on this. Helenia bowed her head with an apologetic expression while sping her hands together. When she said that she had a favor, Jaeyoung tilted her head and asked. You have a favor...? She uses the word please. At Jaeyoung''s question, Helenia started talking while scratching her cheek as if she was embarrassed. That''s because... the item Dex-sama acquired wasn''t originally nned as an event reward. I don''t know how it happened, but if it is used in Arcadia, it is judged that there is a risk of having a significant impact or harm to the game overall, so we have concluded that adjustments to the item are inevitably needed. You mean... you mean you''re going to take the items I''ve acquired? no! Regarding the part acquired as an event reward, we can''t do that because there are mistakes in our management..... First of all, we''re going to get the user''s consent and set the direction of the rted adjustment. Unlike other game operators, Jae-young realized that he was looking at himself with a very low profile. Looking at it, I was able to notice to some extent that it was impossible for Arcadia''s administrators to intervene by wielding their authority at will. Um... First of all, from what we thought, we are going to adjust it in 3 directions... First... There were a total of 3 ns she suggested to Jae-young. First, limit the number of times you can use bamboo spears. Limit the application of the second bamboo spear to a certain level. Third, recovery of bamboo spears and rewards with epic items. Hearing these three suggestions, Jaeyoung pondered something. And asked Helenia. I get the gist of it... but what do I get if I agree to this arrangement? In response to that question, Helenia pressed something in the air for a moment and then looked at Jaeyoung and said, It will be judged by the userpensation program due to the negligence of thepany and a direct offer will be made. User rewards program. Along with her words, the window that popped up in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes listed the rewards provided for epting this offer. And seeing that, Jaeyoung''s eyes shed. Really... you''re going to reward me like this? Um... I''m sorry, but I don''t know the details of the reward, so it''s hard to answer. This is a method in which the program directly analyzes the damage suffered by the customer and the overall y, derives the optimalpensation, and proposes it. Helenia waved her hand and said she didn''t know the details of the reward. However, she said, looking at Jaeyoung with eyes full of determination, saying that she would be sure of one thing. But... let me tell you one thing for sure. If you cooperate with us in this matter, there will be no additional patches that are unfavorable to you in the future, as happened during this event. Additional patches in two installments. Jaeyoungughed at her words, admitting that the patch was all aimed at him. Do you have the strength to do so? Heleniaughed strangely at those words. She nodded and spoke in a strong tone. Sure. I promise you in my name as the president of Arcadia. yes....? Jaeyoung realized at her words. The person in front of him now is not just an operating employee, but a new female CEO who is in charge of everything in Arcadia. Lee Mi-yeon, the president. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Consensus Virtual Reality Arcadia''s appearance quickly took root in the world. [Next news. It is said that the number of concurrent users of the popr virtual reality game Arcadia has exceeded 100 million. Some say that the total number of subscribers has exceeded 1 billion. This figure is expected to increase over time.] Unprecedented rapid growth. Arcadia Co., Ltd. is apany that has been in service for less than a year since it started the overall service, but already has a status as a multinationalpany that no one can deny. That is why thispany, located along the main street of Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, was an object of envy for young people who dreamed of getting a job. Yes sir. After purchasing the capsule, our engineer will visit and install it in person..... If there was a bug in the game, you should apply online, not here by phone..... A n...? That must have been knocked over... Yes. I will check again. The report on item performance readjustment must have been written by this assistant manager the other day... Of course, after getting the job, there were a lot of people who were exhausted from the massive amount of work that was pouring in every day, but still, they were more concerned with performance than any otherpany. It was also a ce wherepensation was guaranteed hotly. Phew.... Thispany doesn''t give me a chance to breathe. The employees who ran really crazy until thepany called Arcadia was established and started full-scale service. But even so, the daily pouring in of work was telling us that virtual reality services were still far from settling down on the right track. When one project ends, another project emerges. What do you do when you''re obsessed with it? If a previously nned project goes wrong, you have to deal with it separately ande up with preventive measures in the future... They say that nothing is ever done? Assistant Manager Lee Hyun-soo, who was in charge of nning and developing the quest scenario. He expressed the dissatisfaction he had in his heart to assistant manager Choi Min-sik, who was his motivation for joining thepany. The main scenario line and main NPCs are selected and the story is made up, but what kind of quest line is twisted because of the user? No, is that so easy to say? It is not just a single quest, but a story in which hundreds of characters and quests are borately connected. However, he was asked to reexamine all of them, not just some of them, and he felt anger beyond discouragement. Huh... what can I do... If I''m going to peel it from above, I''m going to peel it. No, the same goes for the bnce team, right? How much did you guys go through when the slime incident happenedst time? Isn''t it really strange how thispany works? You have to keep the line in moderation to some extent, its too user-centered. Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. Arcadia, which puts forward these two mottos, was iprehensibly taking care of the convenience of its users. The excessive inefficiency of thispany, which overturns everything when necessary, as if it did not matter how many employees were reced and prepared, was something that Assistant Manager Lee Hyun-soo could not understand no matter how positively he tried to look at it. Hey, no matter how much youin, nothing will change. Let''s be honest, let''s just say thispany sucks no matter how you think about it. So what? Are you going to quit? That''s... Deputy Assistant Manager Min-Sik Choi, who had been listening to Assistant Manager Hyun-Soo Lee''s muttering words, interrupted him and asked. However, Assistant Manager Lee Hyun-seok can''t easily answer that question. Assistant Manager Choi Min-sik said while looking at the situation. Is there a saying that this life is better even if you roll in dog shit? No matter how fucked up thispany is, whoever holds on is the winner. You know how ridiculous the welfare benefits here are. Ajin Electronics. Silicoff. Argus. Arcadia Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between these three conglomerates. Thispany, which has users easily exceeding 100 million units, was earning an astronomical amount of cash on a monthly basis from usage fees. A monster-likepany that continues to grow with each passing day, instead of stopping, elerating. As if to show off such enormous wealth, the basic welfare benefits provided to thepany''s employees were jaw-dropping. Family health insurance that covers all illnesses and injuries. A sry that is more than three times the industry average. In addition, lifetime free support for government officials ording to rank and educational support for 100% of their children''s college tuition were ying the role of shackles that made them never want to leave once they entered thepany. In addition... the rice here is also really delicious. Especially free lunch and dinner served at a hotel buffet level that no one will ever rave about. That was one of thepany''s strengths that even Assistant Manager Lee Hyun-soo could not deny. Ha... that''s right..... Assistant Manager Lee Hyeon-soo sighed at Choi Min-shik''s words and drank the coffee in his hand. However, the bitter aftertaste hidden in the sweet coffee seemed to be felt more strongly today. * * * Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University. The department was created with the goal of cultivating talented people who will lead the virtual reality industry for the first time in the world. The students of this department, who had changed their signboard by saying that they wouldpletely overhaul theputer science department, were suffering greatly from each ss and assignment due to Professor Kim Tae-hun, who is famous for being an entric. Aww! No, why the hell did you run this ss so hard from the first semester? Hey, did you do the assignment the professor gave you? Reading papers written in the originalnguage and writing reports? Are you crazy! How do you do that! Papers on virtual reality technology are pouring in every day. In addition, the lecture of Professor Kim Tae-hoon, who gives assignments every day to read and read only thetest papers written in English, frustrated countless aspirants. Ha... Was this school originally like this? I dont know... I want to stop... Those who were not particrly interested in studying. Seomin University was actually not a school that received such good reviews. It has a reputation that I''ve heard of the name once somewhere, but that''s all, it''s a japdae in Seoul. That is why it was extremely difficult for those who came in with appropriate grades and student records to follow the curriculum of Professor Kim Tae-hoon, who was not spoiled. Jae Jae-young, have you finished your assignments? Jae-Kyun asks Jae-Young with a sneak peek. Jaeyoung answered his question with an expressionless expression. I couldnt. I have a lot of work these days, so I havent had time to do it. Jaeyoung, whose dark circles havee down thickly, perhaps because he is actually tired. Seeing the tiredness on his face, Jaekyun pulled out something sweaty and sweaty. ruler! take this. ....what is that? What he took out of the bag was none other than a thick wad of A4. And Jaekyun said with a kind smile. I read about two papers that the professor asked me to see just in case. You only have to submit one anyway, so you can use the remaining one if you need it. ...? Jae-gyun voluntarily dedicates the assignment without being asked. At his favor, Jaeyoung looked at Jaekyun with an absurd expression. Why are you giving it to me? Ugh huh? He said he didn''t do the assignment. Don''t you need this? Unlike Jae-gyun, who is obsessed with grades, Jae-young does not put much importance on grades. That''s why he didn''t want to do something shameless, such as taking an assignment written by Jaekyun and submitting it only by changing the name. I dont want to earn grades while doing that. Anyway, it doesn''t matter as long as the grades are moderate. I didn''t do it anyway except for you and a few girls. In fact, only a handful of people havepleted the task perfectly, and the rest have not done the task at almost twice the level. No matter how much I think about the fact that I can''t say anything about them, Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s assignments that he pours out every week boasted a realistically impossible level of volume and difficulty. Papers boasting the level of difficulty that a graduate student aiming for a doctorate degree, not a first-year undergraduate student, can touch. On the contrary, Jaeyoung couldn''t understand Jaekyun, who had prepared a task for himself, not enough to actually do such a task. If that''s what you mean, then I understand..... Jae-kyun puts the assignment back into his bag with a slightly sullen expression at Jae-young''s resolute refusal. And he looked at Jaeyoung slightly and asked. Um... Jaeyoung, theres an event in Arcadia this time. The only person who knows that Jaeyoung is Dex. In response to Jae-young''s request to keep it aplete secret, he did not bring up the story of Arcadia even in normal times, but this time, as if he couldn''t hold back his curiosity, he looked at the people sitting around the extension and carefully brought up the story. That...is that you? Jae-kyun wanted to make sure that Dex''s impersonation or someone else had done it. In response to his question, Jaejoong nodded quietly. Wow... Awesome... Jaekyun eximed with bright eyes at Jaeyoungs poet. His eyes were full of respect, as if looking at an object of envy. ...Dont look at me with those eyes. It''s burdensome. Yes....! sorry. It''s so strange that such a huge celebrity is someone I know... Jae-kyun hurriedly averts his gaze, trembling at Jae-young''s words. Even after that, he couldn''t hold back his curiosity and continued to ask Jaeyoung questions. By the way... what the hell is your job to use such great skills? Are you close with Casis? They kept talking about something even while they were fighting. How did you survive the 1st and 2nd rounds other than the 3rd round? No matter how much I searched for the videos back then, I couldnt find them. Jaekyun continues to ask questions to see if he has so many questions. To his question, Jaeyoung gave him a brief answer with an annoyed yet indifferent expression. ah! that''s right. You took a bamboo spear as your final reward. Did you really get that? While everyone was watching, Jae-young received a bamboo spear from the goblin. As a result, themunity was in a dizzy state with users who were in a frenzy. -What is that? Isn''t it a bamboo spear? -You''re not going to take that ability as it is, right? -lol. Then it''s a scam - One shot against any boss mob! That''s the power of the bamboo spear. -Can the gamepany just leave it alone? Just looking at it, I''m going to adjust my ability level. There was a lot of talk about whether that bamboo spear would be the strongest item in the game or just a souvenir-like item. That''s why Jaegyun also waited for Jaeyoung''s answer with a very nervous face. Ah... that? Jaekyun swallows his saliva and waits for the answer. Perhaps his reaction was funny, Jaeyoung waited for a while and smiled. I dont know. what....? hey! Where is that! Jae-gyun protested at the nd answer, but Jae-yeong ignored his reaction. Because it''s not good to tell people anyway...'' Arcadia''s president directly requested a request. Jaeyoung''s method of negotiation with her was the first method. great. The performance of the current item is maintained as it is, but once any object is killed, the bamboo spear that Dex-sama possesses will disappear forever. [Agreement has been reached between the parties regarding the item adjustment.] [The item Bamboo Spear'' has been changed to a one-time item.] [Acquire a probability of 1000000 as a reward.] [Completely against the malicious patch targeting the yer. Immunity will be granted.] [Acquire 10000 gold.] A huge amount of gold worth 1 billion in cash and exemption from the sniper patch targeting him. There''s even a huge amount of probabilities. He epted because these conditions were impossible to refuse, but Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, handed him one more. What is this....? If you have any problems, please contact me. If there is anything I can help with, I will help as much as I can. She smiles as she hands over a piece of paper with a number written on it that looks like a real contact number. Jaejoong didn''t know at this moment. She is sitting in front of Jaeyoung. That he is a person with a powerful influence that cannot be ignored by any imaginable power. Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Lucid Dream (1) Professor Kim Tae-hoon, the founder of the world''s first virtual reality engineering department. He adapted to new changes faster than any other researcher in Korea. The emergence of this newly developed virtual reality technology in the United States will drive the president ofputer technology. So we have to move faster than anyone else to keep pace with these changes. His im that virtual reality will eat away at theputer market and eat everything. But most people didn''t believe it. The virtual reality industry is now in its infancy. Of course, everyone agreed that it was a technology that could be useful in any industry, but nothing stood out clearly enough to bemercialized yet. The onlymercially sessful part was Arcadia, a near-perfect virtual reality game. The situation where Arcadia literally means virtual reality technology. However, Professor Taehoon Kim thought that Arcadia was just a part of the huge tree of virtual reality. Huh... it really never ends..... Social sciences, engineering, medicine, military science, economics, business administration, etc. It is safe to say that research papers rted to virtual reality are pouring out in literally all disciplines, and in a situation where research on rted knowledge is actively being conducted, Professor Kim Tae-hoon was spending almost all of his time reading the papers that were pouring out every day. . This is a thesis to be given as an assignment for the kids... This is irrelevant... Professor Kim Tae-hun prepares for the lecture by culling out papers rted to engineering and technology among numerous papers. While searching for rted information on the Inte, he came across an advertisement by chance. -Holding a technology fair for the revival of the virtual reality industry- Hmm....? Professor Kim Tae-hoon was interested in the title. He clicked on the relevant advertisement with curious eyes and checked the contents. Let''s see.... It''s a technology fair promoted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups for the promotion of the virtual reality industry..... A technology fair held by government agencies with the intention of fostering virtual reality-rted industries. Professor Kim Tae-hoon opened his eyes wide after checking the list of participatingpanies. what? Arcadia and all three captains are participating? Arcadia Arcos Silicoff and Ajin Electronics. An exhibition where all the keypanies that created virtual reality and the leading yers who opened the door to the virtual reality industry participate. Sensing that the event was bigger than he thought, Professor Kim Tae-hoon hurriedly picked up the phone. Oh, I am. Speaking of next weeks lecture... can you please notify the kids that attendance will be reced by attending an event outside of it? Professor Kim Tae-hun, who informed the teaching assistant that the ss content would be changed next week, filled out the application form with a strange smile. I hope the kids here realize what the future holds. Professor Kim Tae-hoon believes that the virtual reality industry will develop in various ways more than anyone else. He submitted an application for the expo group, sincerely hoping that the students taking the lecture could also see the future he saw. To the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University. * * * So, I went to a cafe with Tae-soo the other day, and the cat I saw there was really cute? So I asked how old he was, and the owner... Chae-yeon continues to chatter and talk nonsense. Because of her talking nonstop for a moment and telling stories she didn''t want to hear or know at all, Jaeyoung kept caring for her patience in his heart, but Jaekyun responded well to her words with a nk expression. Hehehe. I see. Jaekyun, who has a really stupid expression and a big smile. Seeing his face like that, Jaeyoung could feel once again how scary the bean pods were. Still, Im d you are here. I took the other lectures with Tae-soo, so it''s okay, but I failed to register for just this one. That''s why I was embarrassed because I really didn''t know anyone. A lecture that feels somewhat contradictory, called Meeting of Humanities and Engineering'', a liberal arts subject that is taken just to fill the credits. As if to prove that the lecture was not popr, few people upied seats even though it was arge lecture room that could amodate hundreds of people. I know! I like taking sses with you too. lol. Jae-gyun goes crazy because he can''t control his expression, as if he''s happy with Chae-yeon''s words. Looking at his expression, Jaeyoung could roughly guess why he hadn''t had a girlfriend until now. By the way, isnt this lecture a bit strange? I give a lot of assignments and quizzes every time. I don''t like other cultures... She, a mechanical engineering major, didn''t know, but Jaekyun and Jaeyoung shook their heads at her words. This is about medicine... Chae Yeon-ah, this is funny. what....? hey! Don''t y around. Chae-yeonughed and passed it over as if she thought it was a joke. However, Jaekyun and Jaeyoung spoke more seriously than ever. Really. It was because this course was a must-have course for students of the Department of Computer Engineering... No, no, Virtual Reality Engineering. to? really? Why is this necessary for you? Was it just general education? Chae-yeon asks Jae-gyun, surprised by his words. To her, Jaekyun looked around strangely and whispered quietly. That''s... the professor in charge of this subject is our professor... The professor in charge of this course, Meeting of Humanities and Engineering, was Professor Kim Tae-hun, who is famous for hitting students with an F hammer mercilessly against students who do not meet the standards he wants. Quaang. Professor Kim Tae-hoon said that even a tiger woulde if he said it, and at that moment, he opened the door roughly and appeared. As soon as his eyes met, Jaekyun lowered his head with a prickly expression, looking through the stretching textbook. Before we start todays lecture, there is one thing to guide you. At Professor Kim Tae-hun''s words, everyone raised their heads and looked curious. After confirming that his eyes were focused, he started talking after disying a pamphlet on therge monitor in front of the ssroom. Next week, a technology fair organized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups will be held. The subject is a story about virtual reality technology, which is bing a hot topic these days, and the entire industry derived from it. Originally, I was nning to only take students from the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, but I am letting you know that it will be a good experience for students from other departments as well. Interested students should visit the virtual reality department office and apply. Everyone is wee. At his words, the ssroom was shaken for a moment. Hey Jaekyung. Are you going there too? Well... I''ve heard of it for the first time, but Professor Kim Tae-Hoon said, I think I should definitely go. The fair has already turned into a must-attend without even knowing it. After hearing that, Chaeyeon pondered a bit, then looked at Jaekyun with bright eyes and asked. Then shall I go too? what....? I think it''ll be fun, but I''m going alone, so... I think I''ll be fine if you go. Jaekyun shook his head up and down madly at her remarks that sounded like I won''t go alone, but I will go with you!'' I am very fine. okay? Arent you ufortable, Jaeyoung? Jaeyoung hangs out with Jaekyun. That''s why Chae-yeon asked Jae-young cautiously, but she couldn''t refuse because of Jae-gyun''s staring earnest eyes. ...I dont care anyway. Rejoicing at those words, Chaeyeon smiled. Okay then Ill applyter after the lecture too! The fair that even Chaeyeon decided to join. Jaekyun couldn''t control the corners of his mouth rising above the extension, as if he couldn''t stand the joy, and Jaeyoung watched him as if he was pathetic. Without imagining the ramifications of this choice. * * * Virtual reality fair hosted by the Ministry of Small and Medium Venture Business. It was the lectures of executives and employees representing the threepanies that could be said to be the protagonists. [In order to realize virtual reality, it is necessary to fully understand the signals sent from the human brain, convert them into electronic signals, and form awork that can be exchanged stably.] It is not simply collecting electrical signals generated from the brain, but From fully understanding to analyzing, converting the necessary information into signals that the brain can ept and sending back. Each process required the highest level of technology. [Therefore, the power of ajin electrons, which are specialized in electronic technology, was not enough to develop such technology. For this reason, I needed help from Argos for biotechnology and rted programming and building the overall operating system.] The product of a joint venture between three world-leading multinationalpanies. It was a story that everyone was curious about how these threepanies, who seemed not to know each other, came to join forces, so the stories of executives dispatched directly from thepanies drew people''s attention more than ever. [In the future, virtual reality will develop more rapidly and permeate deeply into our world. Ajin Electronics will continue to release products that are safer and more efficient, and also develop low-cost, entry-level products so that everyone can enjoy virtual reality. ] We n to operate a capsule support program for them, trying to providefort to the painful reality through We are also developing medical devices that help rehabilitation treatment, and soon all hospitals will be able to feel the effectiveness of virtual reality.] [ Argos provides rted development programs so that many people can participate in the virtual reality development industry, We will build an ecosystem where startuppanies that open the door to the industry can emerge. A program that providesrge-scale funding to indie developers is also being prepared, so I hope many people can participate.] p p p p. Everyone stood up and apuded the announcement of the threepanies that they would not spare their full support in the future growth of the virtual reality industry. Wow... these are really greatpanies. I see... those people really dont y around with money, right? Ah Tae-soo, did you keep talking about money? Right. How much would you really get if you worked for such a world-ss conglomerate... Chae-yeon flirting with Tae-soo. Jaeyoung clicked his tongue inwardly as he saw Jaekyun watching from the side with a teary face. Ugh... that guy with no luck or support.'' Jae-kyun imagined a friendly date with Chae-yeon. However, after realizing that Tae-soo had followed him to this fair, Jae-kyun didn''t say anything with a sullen expression, perhaps because he was shocked. Hey Jaekyung. Why are you so dead from earlier? Tae-soo frowns and argues as if he doesn''t like it. However, Jaekyun pretended to be normal and responded in a calm voice to his words. Yes....? what am i? Jae-kyun replies as if nothing is wrong. Then, Tae-soo muttered with doubtful eyes. okay? Whatever or not. Tae-soo gives off the feeling of knowing everything and openly shows that he is close to Chae-yeon. The sight of Chae-yeon, whom he likes whileughing and joking around with him, was a cruel scene that Jae-kyun couldn''t see with his eyes open. I... Ill go to the bathroom for a while. Ugh. Go ore. Jae-kyun avoids the seat, leaving Tae-soo behind, who responds casually. Jaeyoung, who followed him without a word, couldn''t say anything when he saw Jaegyun''s back with his shoulders drooping. It was so miserable and nasty that it was the worst moment I don''t want to think about again. However, this worst day was the day when Jaekyun faced a huge turning point in his life. Hey, two students over there! Us? An employee waving at a booth. He continued to nod his head at Jaekyun and Jaeyoung, who were standing at a distance. If you dont mind, would you like to try this device here? At those words, Jaeyoung and Jaekyun looked at each other for a moment before sneaking closer to the booth. Virtual reality integrated production system Lucid Dream. A capsule that looks simr to Arcadia''s connector. This was his first encounter with a machine thatpletely changed Jae-kyun''s life. Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Lucid Dream (2) Virtual reality integrated production system Lucid Dream. It was a device that looked very simr to Arcadia''s connector, the Dreamer. What exactly is this device for? Jaeyoung and Jaekyun look around the device with curious eyes. Seeing the two of them showing interest, the person in charge of the booth was delighted and started talking. Hmm... So, you can think of it as a trantor that recognizes signals sent from the brain and converts them into signals thatputers can recognize. The staff seems to be wondering how to exin. Even after hearing his words, Jaegyun and Jaeyoung tilted their heads with question marks on their faces, as if they couldnt understand exactly what he was talking about. Then, the booth staff thought about it for a while to see if they noticed the two of them, and then asked. Um... students, have you ever yed Arcadia? of course. nod When I said that I had yed Arcadia, the staff said with an expression that the story would be easy then. You can see this machine as a tool that implements Arcadia. yes....? Really? Seeing Jae-gyun''s startled expression, the staff continues to exin with a pleasant smile as if it was the situation he was expecting. He started talking by showing some images. In the past, the way people expressed their imaginations was limited. Novelists unraveled their imagination through the text of writing, painters through pictures, and film directors through images, unleashing their imaginations into the world. No matter how good their imagination is, if they do not have the ability to unravel it to the world, they will simply disappear in an illusion. Therefore, it was the reality of the past that only a few people could show the stories of their imagination to people. But through this lucid dream, anyone can freely show others what they have imagined. Anything realized in imagination can be converted into virtual data and stored. Shall we look at an example? A video that runs along with the words. It was illuminating a scene in the vast universe. A beautiful figure that makes your heart feel magnificent just by looking at it. However, a number of space ships suddenly began to appear in the empty universe. And two conflicting characters appearing on the screen. They shouted each other with a sad look on their faces. [Dispose of everything! Traitors of the Empire!] [Be prepared for death and fight! For our freedom!] Two camps fighting a fierce battle with those words. Main guns and photon cannons pouring from space battleships. And the melee of small battleships and the moments of life and death. Exciting situations were created that made my hands sweat just by looking at them. [Kwakwakwang. Quaang.] The video ends with a scene in which a huge ship that appears to be a mothership is reconciled with a sh of light and exploded. Jaegyun and Jaeyoung, who watched the video without looking away for a moment, were surprised to realize that 15 minutes had passed before they knew it. Wow... what is this? The real visual beauty is no joke. A video that perfectly depicts a fierce space war that would have cost a huge budget just by looking at it. In addition, the acting of the first actors who felt the sincerity had a tremendous charm that anyone who saw it could not help but fall in love with. However, at Jae-kyun''s question, the employee smiled strangely and said. You will be surprised, but this is the work of only one creator. What? Really? Jae-kyun shouts in disbelief at the employee''s words. However, he tapped the device on disy in front of the booth and talked. Did I tell you earlier? Through this lucid dream that can perfectly realize the limitless imagination of human beings, we no longer have to be frustrated by the limitations of reality. Any character, any background, any story can be realized and created through this machine. The video I just showed you... is a personal project created by our Arcadia designer team staff. At those words, Jaeyoung and Jaekyun saw the banner ced in front of the booth for the first time. -Virtual reality integrated production system Lucid Dream- (Arcadia Design & Production Department) After confirming that the booth was in charge of Arcadia, Jaekyun looked at the staff in charge with bright eyes and shouted. wow! This is how Arcadia was implemented. That''s really great. Yes? Like Jaekyun, Jaeyoung also looked at the device in front of him with surprised eyes. A device that can create tremendous added value than you think. Seeing this, Jaejoong thought to himself. Looks like all movie stars and actors will disappear in the future.'' It was truly a formidable technology that couldpletely devour the film industry itself. A story that can be created through just one person''s imagination, transcending any temporal and spatial limitations, through imaginary characters in the background he wants, without the need for actors, film crew, directors, filming equipment, or any other equipment. Isn''t it like a dream situation for film directors and writers? Is this a product you are selling? I don''t think I''ve ever heard of it. Jaekyun is very interested in lucid dreaming. However, the employee shook his head in regret. We havent sold it yet. This is because there is no virtual reality-rted legition yet, so we have not even received permission tounch the product. Currently, it is only used temporarily for Arcadia''s development-rted work, but if a bill is created within a few years, you never know, then? Um... thats really unfortunate. Even in the United States, Lucid Dream is not even officially released as the Virtual Reality Act'' put forward by the Republican Party has copsed. However, those who already noticed the enormous potential of this device were moving quickly behind the scenes to pass the bill. There are very few people who can fully utilize this device than I thought. The human imagination is not that deep. What do you mean? Um... you better see this for yourself. Would you like the student there to go inside the device? An employee who encourages Jae-young to experience lucid dreaming. At that, Jaeyoung hesitated for a moment before slowly entering the machine. Its simr to Arcadia, so dont be nervous. If you hear a guide sound from inside, imagine what you are told to do. Wei Ying. After the lid of the capsule was closed, Jae-young heard a strange high-frequency sound in his ears, and soon a clear guidance sound began. [I am recognizing the creator''s brain waves.] [Imagine the things mentioned for precise tuning. Cows.... Horses.... Sheep.... Dogs.....] Guide sound listing all kinds of animals. Jaeyoung recalled and imagined images of them as much as possible. And how many animals did you imagine? Suddenly, an announcement sounded that it had beenpleted. [Brain wave tuningplete. Recognize the producer''s electronic signals.] [Implement the production space.] With those words, Jaeyoung''s surroundings changed. This is... Apletely white space. In this white space where I couldn''t even tell where it ended, the guide sound was heard again. [Please implement the desired background.] Instructions to implement the background. Then Jaeyoung imagined a green field. Koo Goo Goo Pce. At the same time, des of grass sprouting here and there in the white space. Before anyone knew it, green and lively grasses were blooming all around Jaeyoung. It''s like this... But the grass is not as realistic as I thought. There were holes here and there, and the grass was all simr in shape, giving a clear sense of heterogeneity rather than naturalness. It''s harder than I thought..... The five human senses that can be felt in a field where grass is blooming. sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste. There were so many elements that had to be implemented in one background of a field beyond what was simply visible, so Jaeyoung soon felt the limit. Ha.... this isn''t it..... Jae-young, who realized a character. However, he continued to change the face of his creation (?) to see if it wasn''t the appearance he had originally thought of, but he muttered in frustration as he watched it gradually be more and more bizarre. Oh no Give up, give up. There was nothing he wanted to envision, so Jaeyoung, who quickly got bored, shut down the system. [Are you sure you want to close the production system?] [Save the work so far.] Weiying. When the system was shut down and the capsule lid was opened, Jaeyoung felt extremely tired and dizzy. Ugh... It''s the head. Jaeyoung felt like someone had hit him hard. Looking at him like that, the staff nodded as if they were all like that. This is a task that consumes more mental power than expected, so if you use it for a long time or overdo it, you may experience some dizziness. You will be fine if you rest a little. An employee handing over a bottle of water. Looking at Jaeyoung, who took the water he gave him and drank it at once, Jaekyun asked with curious eyes. how was it? fun? ...It''s harder than I thought. really? I was watching it on the monitor, and there was a person making a man in the field. Is it very difficult? Jae-kyun was watching all of his demonstration videos on the monitor installed outside the capsule. In response to his question, Jaeyoung gave her honest impressions. It is not difficult to roughly implement it, but there are too many elements that need to be imagined and set up to achieve a level simr to reality. Jae-Young has so much imagination that he has to pour into each inanimate object, so he can''t even fathom the imagination needed to embody the lively characters. The employee strongly nodded and said, as if he strongly sympathized with his words. That''s right. This device is harder to handle than I thought. Even in the design team that develops Arcadia, imagination is thoroughly a domain of talent, to the extent that there are separate people dedicated to implementing it. Not only is the efficiency low with the imagination of ordinary people, but only works that are too crude to be shown anywhere are created. A machine where imagination is more important than any other ability. While Jaeyoung was thinking that imagination would be an important evaluation index in the future when lucid dream ismercialized, Jaekyun asked the staff member with bright eyes. Can I try it too? Jae-kyun sends eyes full of desire to experience it once. The employee smiled awkwardly at his excessive gaze and nodded. Oh sure. Jaekyun entered Lucid Dream with a smile as if excited by the employee''s permission. After starting a procedure simr to Jaeyoung''s, he entered a pure white space. Now, just like that friend saw, keep an eye on the students, how many things can be realized with imagination. The appearance of Jae-kyun reflected on the monitor. He began to look around the white space with a curious expression on his face. A lot of people say that they get tired after making just the background, but this guy is... What? A background that suddenly changes rapidly on the monitor. The employee''s eyes widened when he saw it. [Kiehehehehe.] [Doo-doo-doo-doo. Avoid immediately!] [Damn, there are too many of these bastards!] The background quickly changed to the middle of a city in ruins. Inside, a scene was being staged in which a few personnel engaged in a fierce gunfight with monsters crowding around. What is this? Characters whose names you don''t even know. A series of suspenseful scenes in which they put on desperate expressions and engage in life-and-death battles with ferocious monsters. The face of the employee who looked at it was stained with astonishment. [Kuaaaaa!] [Damn it... We''re done.....] At the end, a giant monster that appears to be the final boss the size of a building appears, roars, and shows the despair of those who have lost their will to fight. Looking at it, Jaeyoung realized. Jae-gyun, who has been living alone since he was a child, and has been lonely in school, spreading his imagination. That the moment when his talent, which he had worked hard for 20 years, finally shines, is right now. Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Lucid Dream (3) Jaekyun''sst school days were not so pleasant. Ugh... why the hell are you so ugly? Hey are you crying? uh? This kid is really crying. Oh, he''s the same as me. The real worst! Im sorry, but could you stop talking to me? It was easy for him to fall prey to the so-called yful Iljins because of his looks that made it hard to win the favor of his ssmates and his sloppiness in every single action. Hey, the guy that goes well with that guy is Bread Shuttle No. 2. Got it? There were people who openly bullied or harassed him, but most of them quietly ignored and avoided him for fear of being treated on the same level as Jae-gyun. That''s why break time and lunch time were always hard times for Jaekyun. What am I thinking about today...'' Jae-Kyun kills time by sitting alone at his desk without anyone to talk to. He used to dig into his own world at some point. The fantasy he had seen in novels, the science fiction he had glimpsed in movies, and one day, recalling a scene of fierce war in a history textbook, he imagined something over and over again every day. His school days, which used to be ss time when he recalled countless thoughts and stories in the world of endless fantasy. From elementary school to high school graduation, those countless imaginations disappeared in vain. But those times were never wasted. This nonsense... The astonished employee hurriedly manipted the keyboard and checked the numbers on the monitor. Then he muttered to himself in a trembling voice. A normal person... even using a device for the first time, and the implementation rate is about that much...? Still on the screen, the images of people fighting fiercely for survival to avoid the monsters continued to be shown. [Kiehehehe!] [Eat this and die!] [Quaaang. Phuong!] Even a spectacr scene where a building copses helplessly at the gesture of a giant monster and an oil tank at a gas station exploded by survivors. All of that was being implemented in real time so naturally and endlessly smoothly that it was mistaken for reality. Wow...that''s no joke. Jaeyoung, who experienced lucid dreaming himself, could tell how amazing it was just by looking at it. In particr, it felt like my head was being squeezed to the limit just to implement and maintain one background, so it made no sense to maintain such a huge scale of realization in real time. This crazy..... As if agreeing with Jaeyoungs sentiment, the employee was staring nkly at Jaekyuns work, almost breaking into a cold sweat. Then he looked at Jaeyoung with a really confused look and asked. Here is the student. What the hell is that friend? why? Although lucid dream is a device that realizes human imagination as data, it is impossible to realize a perfect image in real time like that. You know how much mental energy this consumes because you experienced it yourself. Thats right... Jaeyoung nodded as if agreeing with that statement. He must have experienced the actualization of lucid dream, which put a lot of strain on his brain to the extent that even a little use of it made his head thump. Even Arcadia''s chief designer spent three months just making a promotional video. The amount of video made in that way is only 15 minutes, so 15 minutes! But what about your friend? Just look at the length of the video that friend made! The timer for Jae-Gyun''s video has already exceeded 10 minutes. Even someone talented enough to hold the title of chief among Arcadia''s development staff was able to produce in just 10 minutes the level of effort he had worked on for three months. However, new scenes are still being implemented and screened in real time. Jae-young and the staff just watched with their mouths open in a situation where they couldn''t even guess how far Jae-gyun''s limit would be. And at some point, people starteding in from all over the ce. Wow what is that? that''s interesting. Is this a promotional video? Is this a new game made in virtual reality? Virtual reality integrated production machine.... Lucid dream? What is this? A booth where people who became interested in the images of the splendid monitors bursting with visual beauty began to flock here and there. Just as people started pouring in from all over the ce, Jaekyun''s video stopped and the production system started shutting down. [Save the work so far.] Take advantage. I heard the word save and the sound ofpressed air being released, then a lucid dream that slowly opened. Jaekyun slowly walked out of it and shouted in an excited voice. Wow, this is really fun! At those words, Jaeyoung and the booth staff made indescribable expressions. Are you having fun? Jaekyun''s impression that it''s fun. However, Jaeyoung and the booth staff knew how ridiculous that was. The process of expressing a high level of imagination and implementing it consumes a tremendous amount of mental strength beyond imagination. Even just perfecting a short video is an act that makes ordinary people feel fatigued to the point of exhaustion. However, even after making a video that went well over 10 minutes at once, Jaegyun''s behavior ofing out with a nonchnt expression and eximing with sparkling eyes saying that it was fun was absolutely not normal. And the staff of Arcadia''s design and production department who know that more urately than anyone else. He approached Jae-gyun with a really serious expression and asked, because many people clung to each other and coughed up blood and struggled to realize it. Hey student... what''s your name by any chance? Me? You say your name is Lim Jae-gyun, why do you say that? An employee who asks for his name with a serious expression on his face. Seeing his expression like that, Jaekyun answered the question with a puzzled expression as if he was slightly embarrassed. Then, the employee handed Jaegyun a business card and asked. Are you thinking of working for ourpany? yes....? If it''s your level, just apply for a job and you''ll pass right away. If you ept it, I will tell the team leader right away... An employee who suddenly asked me toe into ourpany and was so excited that he was drinking not just a bowl of kimchi soup, but a whole truckload of kimchi soup. He didn''t even have time to ask Jae-kyun''s intention, he was muttering frantically to himself about specific ns, just assuming that his employment was a fait apli. Wait... wait a minute... what the hell is that...? huh? Are you fine? Then I''ll call the team leader...? An employee who takes out a real cell phone and tries to make a call somewhere. Jaekyun sweated for a long time trying to stop him from doing so. * * * After a long time of persuasion, Jae-kyun got out of the booth. He said, looking at Jaeyoung with an absurd look, as if something special had happened. Whew, I was really embarrassed. Looking at Jaegyun who sighed while hiding the cold sweat on his forehead as if he was really embarrassed, Jaeyeong asked as if he couldn''t understand. But why did you refuse? It''s Arcadia, not anywhere else. Isnt it a great opportunity for you? Jae-gyun''s ability is so extraordinary that a person who looks like an employee rolls his eyes and promises a special loan that he has no authority over. It was clear that if Jaekyun actually joined thepany, the flower path of his life would unfold, but he shook his head firmly. Hey, how old am I, already working at a job? I don''t think that''s the time yet. Jae-kyun, who has just turned 20 and has be a full-fledged adult. Although he is still young, he said with firm conviction, as if he did not want to live the life of an office worker buried in work from now on. And if you join Arcadia, wont you be able to enjoy the games they service there? As an employee, I wont be able to work as long as I do now, but I dont want to. As a user who ys Arcadia, Jae-kyun said that he did not want to be an employee with severe restrictions on his actions and y. Jaejoong nodded his head in understanding. Yes, it''s your choice, but you can. Although he did not say exactly what kind of benefits there were, the situation is openly spreading that the annual sry he will receive when he enters Arcadia as a new employee is basically over 100 million won. That''s why Jae-gyun''s ability to refuse an offer that could make a lot of money in one breath, ording to Jae-young''s values, was truly great to the point of respect. Of course, the reason Jaekyun rejected the proposal was because he was too young. And... it''s fun going to school with you, and you can see Chaeyeon too... Jaekyun blushes a little and mumbles as if he''s embarrassed by what he says. At his words, Jaeyoung looked at him with an expression that seemed absurd. ...You still havent given up? Tae-soo continues to hover around Chae-yeon and keep herpetitors in check, as if he had already guessed. There was no rumor that they were dating yet, but there were already a lot of people around them who confirmed that the two would be dating and talked about it. I''m not sure if the person concerned knows or not, but Tae-soo treats even Chae-yeon without hesitation. Therefore, from Jae-gyun''s point of view, there was a high probability that he would get hurt and meet a tragic ending after creating a love triangle by being caught between the two. However, Jaekyun shook his head violently at Jaeyoung''s words, as if denying that reality. No way! What a bad bastard Tae-soo is... For him and Chae-yeon to date... never... never. Jaekyun speaks as if he were a father marrying off his beloved daughter to an unknown bastard. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung felt a throbbing headache as if she was overloaded with a lucid dream. Ehh.... Yes, I get it. I think I wasted too much time, but let''s go back quickly. As you said, how does Chaeyeon know what she is doing with Taesoo? Huh! right! Why are you saying that now! Upon realizing the important fact that he had abandoned Chae-yeon all this time, Jae-kyun runs away in a panic, startled. And Jaeyoung looking at his back. He let out a deep sigh with a really tired expression on his face and muttered: That Dapper still had a special side... Jae-gyun, who was below average in all areas, far from being exceptional. Although Jaeyoung was one of the few friends I made in college, he was reallygging behind in terms of social skills, looks, and physical abilities to the point of tearsing out of my eyes. It would have been much better if I had just a little more real notice. Sometimes Jae-kyun''s worst weakness is that even Jae-young can''t ept it. It was the fact that the eyes were not dirty. Just like now, I can''t notice the obvious chatter between the two of them, and I can''t give up my feelings for Chae-yeon, so I can''t give up my feelings for Chae-yeon, so when I see her idly by the side looking for an opportunity, it makes me feel like I''ve eaten dozens of sweet potatoes in a row along with eggs. Sometimes it''s upsetting. Haa... We''ll have to talk about it separatelyter. Jae-young, who was not very close to Chae-yeon, but as Do-ri, who became her friend, couldn''t let her use such ridiculous bean pods forever. He quietly walked behind Jae-gyun, promising to talk to Chae-yeon and establish a rtionship. Without even imagining how Jaeyoung himself would get involved in that damn love triangle. Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Stalker is Scary (1) Virtual reality Arcadia is another reality. I am sure that this technology is a transformation and innovation equivalent to giving humanity another earth, and a tremendous achievement that will be recorded forever in human history. As a famous sociologist and American professor said, virtual reality allowed people to experience things they had never experienced before. Whew... This crop must be a bountiful harvest. For some, the experience of a farmer cultivating fertilend and raising crops. Its cheap, its cheap. Come and take a look at things. A handsome young man there! Someone has the experience of a merchant who buys and sells misceneous goods and takes advantage of the market price. You are also a thief! Catch that bastard! The experience of pickpocketing that someone would never dare to try in real life. A world that allows you to experience apletely different life as another person who is different from reality. In particr, as the recent Jukchang Daejeon unexpectedly brought a huge shock to the entire travel industry, people began to be fascinated by this virtual world little by little as it affected people a lot without knowing or knowing it. Hey, is it Fantastic Ind or have you been there? It wasnt really a joke. Did you feel like you went to a resort? yes? Everything is free, and the experiences you can enjoy there are no joke. A fantasy indparable to any other beautiful resort. Even just looking at the scenery is so beautiful that itpletely heals your heart. It was full offortable amodations and delicious food, and the experience of flying on a griffon over the surface of the sea so clear that the bottom was transparent attracted explosive poprity from people regardless of age or gender. People who have been healed beyond imagination in virtual reality. As a result, there was an idea that came naturally, and that was a sense of skepticism about travel. Do you really need to pay expensive money to travel? You can healfortably in virtual reality. that''s right. If you think about it, traveling is quite difficult. Money is money, but it also eats up time, and on top of that, carrying a carrier around and going through hardships in a foreign country where you dont understand thenguage, and when youe back, you dont get healed, you get more tired. that''s right. And what about the merchants who overcharge tourists to eat? Arcadia was deeply embedded in people''s daily lives to the extent that many people said that they would rather enjoy a vacation in virtual reality than go on a trip in reality. And as more and more people are interested in Arcadia, awareness and interest in Dex have also increased unbelievably, as much as the Jukchang Daejeon, which recently sessfullypleted an event, is popr with people. uh? Is that person... isnt that Dex? What Dex? where? Who is that? Jae-young''s poprity has grown to such an extent that people passing by while wandering around the vige suddenly turn their heads and tilt their heads to follow. While wandering around avoiding users in the vige, he put on a troubled expression when he realized that people were talking about him all over the ce. Isnt the idea too novel to choose a bamboo spear as a reward for this event? Yeah, that''s what I thought too. what''s new It''s not because I didn''t win, but if I had won, I would have chosen it. You bastard must have turned his eyes to a unique one and picked it up right away. Woo! no it''s not? Isnt it? Right? Isnt it? Jaeyoung was eavesdropping on the conversation of the users who were fighting childishly. He let out a deep sigh, pulling his hood down to avoid prying eyes. Haa... that damn streaming system. Jaeyoung didn''t want to draw people''s attention. That''s why he thoroughly kept all information private and set his nickname not to be disyed, but he was already imprinted in people''s minds with his splendid appearance, and he became so famous that people recognized him just by looking at his basic face and appearance. This is why I went as much anonymously as possible, but they have be of little use... Jaeyoung murmured sadly. Perhaps because of his reputation, which had been built up step by step since the past under the nickname Dex, the reaction of people to him was frighteningly enthusiastic. -If you meet Dex, he will follow you to the very end of hell. -I want to die to Dex. -Will you ept it if you try to wait until you ept the friend request? -Since I''m a low level, if I beg, wouldn''t they throw me a unique item out of pity? The world is wide, but it is a world full of crazy people. In this virtual world full of madmen who are hard to meet in everyday life, it was really full of people pouring madness on Dex. Jae-young caught a glimpse of the madness of those crazy people who were looking for him every day in Arfandia. That''s why he was hiding from people''s eyes more sensitively than ever, and Tan and L, who kept watching him from behind, asked him with questionable eyes. Hey master. Why the hell are you so restless? You feel the fear. What the hell are you so afraid of? Ah... because of the strange perverted stalkers. stalker? What do you mean? While Tan and L tilted their heads at Jaeyoung''s iprehensible words, a group of users rushed in from the entrance of the restaurant with a loud sound. This is the restaurant that was reported to have Dex, right? hey. I''m sorry, but I''ll check your face for a second. What are you all about! Its not Dex... Enjoy your meal. Users suddenly broke in and poked their faces at the people who were eating in silence. Those who were peacefully enjoying their meal were taken aback by their sudden action, but they didn''t care at all. Hey, just one face... Not over here! Here too! Their actions show their fierce tenacity to find Dex checking everyone''s face by walking around the spacious restaurant. Jaeyoung was truly goosebumps at the actions of the madmen who were gradually approaching him. These crazy guys... I don''t know where or who reported it, but for some reason, I could feel a terrible madness in the faces of those who were struggling to find themselves. -I want to catch Dex and lick it. - How would you feel if you were killed by Dex? I''m really curious. - What about hitting this guy? -If you catch Dex, I want to see you crying after harassing me for three days and nights. mandible mandible. A feast of madmen who unhesitatingly express their ugly desires that are hard to put into words in Arfandia. That''s why Jaeyoung tried to move slowly to get out of the restaurant, avoiding their eyes as much as possible. But at that time, Tan looked at them with strange eyes and muttered. Hmm... I finally understand what the situation is. What are you talking about. L still looks at the situation with nk eyes as if he doesn''t understand. But Tan clicked his tongue and gave him a face. Well... chicken wings like you don''t know. Originally, when someone is exceptional or popr enough to attract everyones attention, crazy people like that get swindled. What are you talking about these damn bats? L grumbled, frowning at the remark as if ignoring him. However, Tan ignored her and talked to Jaeyoung with an attitude as if he understood everything. I know because I was once hurt. Being involved with obsessive guys like that is very tiring. Even if they are like bugs, it is best to avoid them when theye in groups like that. ...You said you''ve been victimized too? At Tan''s words, as if he were an experienced person, Jaeyoung looked at him with strange eyes and asked. Then Tan muttered with an expression as if recalling old memories. After I became the Demon King, how many bugs rushed to try to take over that position...? If I gathered only the guys who rushed at me at that time, it would probably form a mountain? Tan seems to be talking about something very long ago. At his words, Jaeyoung asked with her eyes shining. okay? So what did you do? To that, Tan replied with an expression as if asking for something obvious. How do you do it? I killed them all. ..... Jaeyoung looked dumbfounded at Tans words that he had killed them all as if to prove that they were demons without the concept of peace embedded in their brains. However, when Tan saw Jaeyoung''s expression, he hurriedly continued to say what he couldn''t say. But I was really tired from fighting them then. So, I have something I prepared to useter, in case I ever find myself in such a situation... Do you want to lend it to me? what....? what is that....? damn Tan said there was a way and took out something by flicking his hands. What was in his hand was none other than a bizarre-looking mask. ruler. I made this for my own use, so I cant give it to you at all. Ill lend it to you for a short while. What is this... A limp, limp mask. The unidentified mask, which was not known what kind of leather it was made of, boasted a tactile sensation that made people feel ufortable just by touching it. [Mask of the Deceiver - Myth] A mask made by attaching the skins of the highest-ranking demons. You can hide the truth and project only the distorted lies you want to others. -Equipment limit: none -Durability: infinite -Special skill: Deception camouge -Nullification of detection insight skill. - No one can see through the truth. Tan took out a mythical grade item and gave it to him. However, Jaeyoung asked him as if he was absurd. What is this, a mythical grade? Abilities too crude to be called a myth. It was an item that only had two nonbat skills, Deception and Camouge, so in Jaeyoung''s eyes, itcked too many parts to be considered a mythical item. Hey, even if it looks like this, how precious is he? uh? Do you know how many duke-level demons I tore apart to make this? As described in the item description, a mask made with the by-products of demons that Tan caught and killed. Since each of the objects that became the material was a being with tremendous power, this mask made of parts of their bodies was given a mythical grade different from the ability it possessed. I dont know anything else, but I can definitely guarantee one performance. No skill or authority will be able to pierce this mask and recognize your true identity. In other words, unless you intend to show yourself, no one will be able to find you. The perfect item for avoiding annoying situations with madmen. I couldn''t understand why Tan had made something like this, but I could see why he was taking it out and putting it in Jaeyoung''s hand. Still, this is a bit harsh. Dont you think youre going to gobble up the odds or have fun just because its a Shinhwa level? Tan put on a sullen expression at those words. Tan, who had slightly raised his eyes as if he had been caught, immediately cleared his throat and said. hey! Still, I should use the best person to write. What if you hide it with a crude item and someone sees through your identity? If you get caught by a damn bitch like a saint, you won''t even get a bone! The saintess was not an ajumma from the next door, making ridiculous assumptions and excitedly talking about the justification for the mask, but in the end she revealed what she wanted in Jaeyoung''s suspicious eyes. Just 100,000! If you give me a probability of 100,000, I''ll lend you this until you die. okay? A shot that requires a probability of 100,000. However, before Jaeyoung could say anything to him, El stepped forward and rushed at him. You damn bastard. Are you crazy? what! It''s this chicken chick! You, too, had fun ripping off probability with the strong god the other day! Take something fun! Do you know how much trouble we had to deal with because of Calypso''s unexpected behavior? Where the hell are you going to use it like that! Wherever you are, its to be used to feed fucking chicken wings like you guys! why! Pick it! You damn bat! Tan and L started fighting on their own. However, instead of stopping the two of them, Jaeyoung had no choice but to wear the mask in order to get away from the group of madmen who were right in front of him. [Equipped with the mythical item Deceiver''s Mask.] [The power of deception and camouge covers the yer''s body.] [The false beingpletely covers the original identity.] Slowly. Along with a strange feeling, Jaeyoung felt the touch of the mask wriggling coldly against his face. However, Jaeyoung did not know that the power of this mask was more powerful than he thought. Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Stalkers are scary (2) Mask of the deceiver. A very long past that is impossible to even guess when. This mask, which was made by collecting the skins of the highest-ranking demons Tan had defeated, showed its power immediately when it stuck to Jaeyoung''s face. [Equipped with the mythical item Deceiver''s Mask.] [The power of deceit and camouge covers the yer''s body.] [The false beingpletely covers the original identity.] Slowly. A mask that swayed and gave off an unpleasant feeling. However, it wasn''t long before it settled on his face so naturally that he didn''t even recognize that he was wearing it. Ah... not here either. A user who checks Jaeyoung''s face while sticking his face in front of him ufortably. He muttered with a look of disappointment, then called out to the rest of the crowd. Hey, I dont think youre here? There is no one like Dex. What was that report about? Ah what is it? Only Kim leaked. Those who don''t know what purpose they are trying to meet him. They licked their lips with a very sad expression and then disappeared somewhere. Hoo..... Jaeyoung sighs in relief without realizing it. Tan, who was watching him like that, shouted with a triumphant attitude. Did you see it? how is it? Doesnt it kill the effect? Certainly... not bad to wear. right? right? To be precise, the mask of the deceiver does not feelfortable to wear. Jaeyoung dazedly touched his face as if it were his real face. But who is this...? A mirror in one corner of the dining room. Jaeyoung reflected there was a handsome man who looked like a nobleman. Just looking at it, it seems that the elegance overflows. The red eyes added to it were so enchanting that even Jaeyoung felt like he was falling in love. Um... who was it...? Tan tilts his head at Jaeyoung''s question and carefully examines his face. He groaned as he narrowed his eyes to see if he could remember something, and then he eximed as if he had remembered. Oh right! Before that face, he must have been a vampire lord who messed around with me for nothing and died. what....? Looking at those red eyes reminds me of it now. I can tell from his pitiful appearance, which makes it hard to eat just by looking at it. Vampire. A n of night who indulge in human blood. Although they take human form, they live forever and are evaluated as evil beings with power that no one dares to ignore here in Arcadia. They are skilled not only in ck magic, but also in transformation and infiltration, and possess excellent fighting skills to crush low-level demons. In addition, he was fatally handsome and had a beautiful appearance, and he had a noble and sophisticated beauty that matched him, so he boasted such a powerful power that the world even gave him the title of an aristocrat of the demon realm. So... the appearance I''m wearing right now is the appearance of the Vampire Lord you killed? Why? Tan asks with an expression as if what''s the problem. However, as a beginner, Jaeyoung, who studied the worldview and history of Arcadia more quickly than any other user, knew very well about the beings called vampires. A humanoid demon with an appearance that is indistinguishable from a human on the outside. In addition, due to the racial characteristic of having to consume human blood unconditionally, most of the people living in Arcadia are mixed with humans. In other words, if there was a demon you coulde across while walking somewhere on the continent of Arcadia, there was a 99.9% chance that it would be a vampire. ...is there any chance of getting stabbed while trying to avoid a madman? Jaeyoung''s head started pounding just thinking about what he would be involved in if he bumped into a vampire while wearing the appearance of his monarch. Besides, it was too shy to just walk around. Who is that person? I dont know, are you a model? Incredibly handsome. Right? You look like a foreigner, but shall we talk? For another reason, Jae-young is starting to attract people''s attention again. As his face contorted as he felt the eyes of the female yers ncing at him, perhaps because of his handsome appearance, Tan clicked his tongue and grumbled. Well, if you dont like the way it looks, change it. ...how to change it. At those words, a window appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [You can choose the person to disguise yourself.] Casis. purple is delicious Nikong miso beans. Kanna-chan is mine. ...an endless list of possible choices. Jaeyoung frowned as he looked at the names of the countless objects on the list. Wait... this is the object I can transform into... Tan noticed what Jaeyoung was saying. He nodded his head as if it were natural and took his ce. ok. You can change into the appearances of the guys you killed. ..... The deceiver''s mask. It was an item that allowed him to disguise himself as the target he had killed. User NPCs and even humanoid named monsters. Jaeyoung''s expression changed strangely as he thought that the effect of camouge could be quite useful than he thought. Then you can do something pretty fun...? Ideas that pass through my mind momentarily. However, since there was nothing to use right now, Jaeyoung avoided the female users who were ncing at him with strange eyes and headed for a deserted alley. wriggling wriggling. And when he chose the nickname of an unknown user he had killed in the past, the mask on his face began to wriggle as if he were alive. [The camouge has beenpleted for the selected target.] After a short wait, Jaeyoung''s face changed to apletely unknown face. Jaeyoung, who had changed to the normal face of a user who did not know exactly who he was, slowly walked toward the town square. Looking for someone to go hunting with. The level limit is 60 or higher. Looking for someone to go to the ruined capital dungeon. A thief who can detect a trap! Rare item is urgent. Go see it once. The square is bustling with people recruiting party members to go hunting and users buying and selling goods. Jaeyoung, who had been standing there for a while, was satisfied when he confirmed that no one was paying attention to him. This is pretty good. Did you see it? One thing is certain. I see... In fact, it wasnt that there was no way to hide his identity. A transformation skill that allows you to transform into a specific entity by consuming mana. There were makeup and acting-rted skills that assisted in pretending to be someone else. However, unlike makeup or acting, which can be easily revealed through transformation skills that require continuous consumption of enormous mana, this deceiver''s mask couldpletely and naturally transform into someone else''s appearance without consuming any mana. It''s better than trying to draw attention while covering your face with a hood or hood, but... It was clear that the item''s performance was certain and that it was something he desperately needed. However, Jaeyoung wasn''t sure if it was worth the probability of 100,000 that Tan asked for in return. Even if you change the item with that probability, how many unique items are there.....'' Unique items that began to be released in very small amounts through the auction house as the level of users gradually increased. Its performance was also performance, but it was driving a big social issue by always renewing the highest price whenever it came up, perhaps because of the extremely insufficient sale. - Unique item Erpel''s Tears''. Reaching an all-time high. Final bid at 1 billion. -Explosively growing item trading market. Is it really okay to leave it like this? -Unemployed people jumping into Arcadia. The golden age of dark gamers. -Virtual reality Arcadia A new market of enormous scale is opened. Arcadia''s virtual currency gold, which has already begun to have a significant impact on the real economy. In addition, as high-performance items began to be traded at exorbitant prices, stories of people who made money through virtual reality and seeded began to be talked about here and there. Assuming that each unique item has a probability of roughly 10,000...'' Probability that can be exchanged with 10 unique items. In addition, considering the recent market price, the value of this mask that Tan demanded boasted an enormous value of 10 billion won. hey! Are you going to be cheesy with so many probabilities? When Jae-young hesitates, Tan argues as if he is doing too much. As he said, Jaeyoung''s probabilities weren''t enough, so they overflowed. - Probability: 1123592 Incredible probability exceeding 1.1 million. It was a level of probability that could be converted into a value of 100 billion won by applying the miraculous unique calction method we did earlier. Well... that''s true... The reward item of the Jukchang Daejeon, the absolute weapon, the bamboo spear, was given in return for giving up the probability of 1 million. Now that I think about it, it was a part where I could feel once again how terrifying the value of the bamboo spear that Jaeyoung had given up was. Please let me eat and live. uh? Do I have to live like this when I hang out next to my owner every day? Does the owner know how poor I am living because of that damn Argamer bastard? Tan went beyond Jae-young''s probability and dumped the probability she had while dealing with the witch hunt caused by Jae-young in the past. As if the damage had not been repaired yet, he continued toment his situation. In the demon realm, the guys at the bottom run their business to earn a chance, but in Arcadia, the warlocks are also exhausted, so they have no work, and these damn chickens are always checking and pushing on a topic that is overflowing with probability. What if it''s like this? Why am I the devil? If I was going to live in poverty like this, Id rather have had chicken wings and turned around. Tan keeps repeating himself as if he''s going to do some kind of ideological conversion. At his words, L looked at Tan as if he was genuinely dumbfounded. Is that baby bat really crazy? Are you sane? why? Will you ept me if I convert? At Tan''s question, El shook his head, looking at him with genuine contempt, as if the thought of it was horrific. never. Damn people like you should all be burned. no, not that much Just say XXXXXX and XXXX to XXXXXX... Where the hell did you get the words forgiveness and repentance from? El started to pour out harsh sounds from the mouth of the archangel. And when Tan got angry at her words and opened his mouth, Jaeyoung hurriedly said. okay. call. Also, when the two start tapping, they fight for a long time, so as soon as Jaeyoung noticed it, he immediately hit the ball. what....? really? And as he intended, Tan hesitates and looks at Jaeyoung with bright eyes and asks back. Jaeyoung nodded and said to him. Do as you say. Ill give you 100,000 probabilities on the condition that you rent 100,000 masks for life. It was an item I needed anyway, and Jae-young felt a little pity for Tan, who grumbled that he was having a hard time every day because it was improbable, so I decided to ept his offer. Wow! You are the owner too! thank you! At those words, Tan hurriedly flew in and threw herself at Jae-young''s head, cheering. He was genuinely delighted to the point that Jaeyoung was embarrassed by Tan''s reaction, which he had never seen before, and pushed him away. Khehehe. It is probable! Khehehehe. Tan drools, smiles broadly, lets out a sinisterugh, and makes gestures as if performing an odd dance. Next to him, L watched Tan with an expression of disapproval, and then quickly flew to Jaeyoung''s side. Why are you again...? Please give me a chance too. ..... L suddenly flew in and confidently held out his hand, asking for a chance. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung thought. Are these two the supreme beings of the Archangel and the Demon King? Or are they two elementary school students moring and shouting at one possibility? It was a difficult question that Jaeyoung could not give an answer to. Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Making Friends (1) Dex revealed his true identity in the Battle of the Bamboo Spear. Although he did not know, the mysterious users who were looking for him were not individuals, but a huge force. How did you find it? The one who was waiting for someone in a shabby space. When a group of mysterious stalkers entered to find Dex, he jumped up from his seat and asked urgently. However, at his question, the gang of stalkers shook their heads with sullen expressions. That information turned out to be false information. There was no one who looked like Dex-sama. ...Is there any possibility that he noticed something in the middle and ran away? We''ve been guarding all the entrances to the restaurant, but Dex-sama didn''te between them. A group of people who thoroughly tried to find Dex. He hit the table in front of him as if he was indignant when he heard the report that he had carried out arge-scale operation to get important intelligence information, but had failed in the end. Quaang. Damn... arent you guys approaching really strangely again? It was definitely information! It is very suspicious where he got the information from, but he insisted that it was certain, and while he was reprimanding the stalker gang, a person suddenly entered the room slowly. Don''t be in too much of a hurry. If the guild leader shows that kind of image, even the other guild members be anxious. A female wizard user entering the room with an alluring smile. She gave advice to the excited man in a calm voice and spoke to a group of stalkers standing to one side as if punished. I will not judge now whether there were any problems with the operation. Submit a separate report on this operation. Confirm in writing and talk separatelyter. ....All right. A group of stalkers bow their heads with a gloomy expression at her words and go somewhere. After they all left, the man muttered as he red at the door they had left with an expression of disapproval. joy. We can''t ept such idiots as part of us. Its us right now that we feel sorry for such goofy people. It''s a game that runs on economies of scale. You can''t think of PC games that go back to being a small elite like before. Arcadia''s guild system has no limit on the maximum number of yers, unlike past games that ran through guilds created by dozens of users. So, unlike other games, the size and power of the guild itself was growing so enormously that it was different from the ss. Damn..... Adapt to the change. Did you forget what Dex said earlier? About the patch... In the time to whine about the patch, start thinking about taking advantage of the changes made by the patch. I know, I know. Looking at the guild leader with a sullen expression as if he could understand with his head but not with his heart, one of his assistants and deputy guild leader said with a serious expression. Then, as a guild leader, I want you to be more self-aware. Even if I brought Dex-sama, would he really like it when he sees a guild like this? ..... A man with a sad face without saying anything at her heartfelt rebuke. Seeing him like that, she rxed her expression and began to read a little. Don''t be in too much of a hurry. Dex-sama made his appearance for the first time through this Jukchang Daejeon and confirmed that he is ying this game, so if you wait patiently, you will surely hear about us. Regarding the existence of the guild Deck Fan Mu'' by Dex-sama, for Dex-sama. A new guild, What color are Dex''s panties?''. This guild, made up of people who follow Dex, has recently been rapidly expanding its size by assembling new guild members that are increasing day by day. ...thats how it should be. Rather than blindly searching for him, creating a confident guild that will never be ashamed of when he finds us. I need to focus on that first. Arthur, the guild leader who leads deck fan dance. He decided ording to the advice of Agnes, the deputy guild leader. Anyone who ys Arcadia will not be able to know the name of our guild. If that happens... I will be able to give him a little bit of strength. At Arthur''s words, Agnes responded with a wide smile. Exactly. Don''t forget that as the guild grows, you can be of great help to him. Deck fan. A lot of PC games Dex yed in the past. The guild was created by gathering the users who received help in it, bothrge and small, and those who were greatly impressed by him. The birth of a force that would proudly take its ce as one of the huge guilds that could never be ignored on the second continent of Arcadia was beginning like that. And in the very distant future, Dex regretted running away from that group of stalkers in the past. If he had known of the existence of this guild at that time, hemented that he would have been able to burn down this damn group training center for dyssexuals without a trace. * * * Jaeyoung runs away from the stalkers. He was walking the streets wearing the appearance of an unknown person. Hey there handsome young man. The fruit is fresh! Take a look! Neither the NPCs soliciting customers in the za nor the yers they encountered here and there did not recognize Dex''s identity. Only Angelina, who was walking beside him, was watching Jaeyoung with curious eyes. Hmm... that item is really amazing, isnt it? Topletely change her appearance... I met her wearing a mask of deception. Waiting at the ce promised through the messenger, she did not believe Jaeyoung''s words for a long time. Even the nickname seemed to be someone else''s name to her, so despite a long exnation, Angelina eventually believed that he was Dex only after he pulled out a bamboo spear and showed it to her. Yeah... I didn''t expect it to be this perfect either. Angelina has a lot of doubts about the origin. Perhaps it was because he was beaten in the back of the head by his master who had a fight with his fellow student and lived on the run for a long time. Jaeyoung mumbled with a tired face because he had spent so much energy trying to make her understand. Anyway, what do you want to tell me, so you asked to see me in such a hurry? Angelina goes to the main topic and asks why she asked to meet her. Jaeyoung asked her seriously. Ah, there is something I want to confirm about your future y. My y? Angelina tilts her head at Jaeyoung''s words. Looking at her like that, Jaeyoung thought to herself. How should I talk about this.....'' Creating the third mission helper that flew to Jaeyoung. After Angelina was registered as an assistant. The newly renewed mission required two more conditions from him. - Casis''s assistant registration. -Registration of helper of ???????? (currently located in Pagon Mine). A mission that wants to register a total of three helpers, including Casis, who fought a fierce battle with a mysterious person who is unknown. First of all, Jaeyoung met Angelina and talked about it. For now, what are you going to do with Ste who keeps chasing you and trying to kill you? Starlight Witch Ste. Widely known as the second-ranked magician, she was aiming for Angelina behind the scenes in order to steal the magic book, a former item of the hidden ss called the magician of moonlight. Um...well. I haven''t decided anything in my heart yet, but I''m thinking of fighting because I don''t think I''ll be so vain even if I face it in the current situation. A set item of poverty given by Jaeyoung. Even though it is limited to 1-circle magic, she glimpsed the potential of the ability to pour out almost unlimited magic through this bamboo spear battle. However, Jaeyoung shook his head at her thoughts. I don''t really rmend that. Whatever it is, the opponent is the second-ranked mage. I haven''t tried fighting properly, but the magic control andbat sense she showed definitely overwhelmed you. Actually, you didn''t survive the second round of the Jukchang Daejeon after all, didn''t you? An opponent whose victory cannot be measured just by firing circle 1 magic. Angelina, who felt that she was not actually using her power 100%, asked with a gloomy expression at Jaeyoung''s words. ...Then what are you telling me to do? Just surrender? At those words, Jaeyoung shook his head. Simple. Leave that item with me for a while. what....? After all, Ste is aiming for you in order to take over that magic book, right? If you don''t have that item, there''s no reason to target you. ..... Jaeyoung thought that it was more important for Angelina to improve her own physical abilities than the basic character''s abilities. That''s why he nned to maximize his fighting ability using magic by making the most of the item of poverty. And I have someone ready to improve your basic ying skills. what....? Angelina asks Jaeyoung''s meaningful words back with a strange look. But when Angelina saw a man appearing in front of her, she eximed in horror. You are you...? ...Is this woman the one I should be teaching? Casis. A presence that revealed a splendid presence through this Jukchang Daejeon. Jae-young personally recruited him and brought him in. He was looking down at Angelina with indifferent eyes. huh. His abilities aren''t bad, but his basic control andbat sense are a bitcking. I want you to take me along and teach me yourself. Casis, who was recognized by everyone for his control and ability in the past Icarus. Jaeyoung was sure that if he did, he would bring out Angelina''s potential to the fullest and transform her from a raw stone into a brilliantly shining jewel. ...Does that make me talk to Master again? All Weapon Master Calypso. I don''t know exactly what happened in the brief battle, but Casis, who had a strangely sad expression while clutching the old sword, called him master and wanted to talk to him again. Don''t worry about that part. It''s difficult right now, but one day it''s possible. Calypso did something that exceeded his own probabilities. I don''t know exactly why, but he was excluded from the list of possible reincarnations, and ording to El, he entered a short break. I don''t know when, but it''s impossible to meet Casis right now. Seeing that fact, Casis muttered with a bitter expression. I see... His expression tinged with guilt. It looked like he was ming himself for selling the ne, which was a keepsake of his master who was one body with the sword, along with the japtem. No matter what, find that ne first. Since you can''t undo the mistakes that have already been spilled, shouldn''t you at least try to rectify as much as you can? Only then will there be a face to face the Master. I thought it was because there was a guy who kept nagging me. Meanwhile, Casis grabs the old sword with all his might. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung nodded his head with a strange smile. You''re there too, the guy next to you who keeps talking noisily? Tan and L, who are distracted by fighting behind their backs for some reason. ncing at the two, Jaeyoung muttered to Casis as if he understood. ...What does that mean? No nothing. Anyway... I hope you''ll take care of me. ....of course. It will grow strong enough not to die no matter where you put it. So Jae-young entrusted Angelina to Casis'' hands. Not even dreaming of how she would change at the hands of Casis. Stupid in PVP. Angelina, a rare crazy bitch who beats until she loses if she doesn''t. Her birth began like this. Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Making friends (2) After arranging a meeting with Casis and Angelina. Jaeyoung headed to Baron Mikhail''s estate. -Registration of ????????''s helper (currently in Pagon Mine). I don''t know who it is, but a mysterious existence that appears to be in the Pagon Mine. However, due to the contents of the mission to register him as an assistant, Jaeyoung tilted his head. what....? Why do you want someone with no ties to be your helper...?'' If Angelina or Casis were somehow rted to each other, I could understand it after making concessions a hundred times. Of course, in the case of Angelina, it was true that it led to an absurd probability, but it was still a person I encountered. However, Jae-young''s feelings toward Baron Mikhail''s estate, not knowing who he was at all, could not be pleased. Master, why are you suddenly going back to that evil lords estate? Tan asks if he is curious about why he is returning to Baron Mikhail''s estate. However, Jaeyoung could only give a vague answer to his question. I heard there''s someone I need to meet, but I don''t know exactly who it is... but why...? No... just... Tan opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. And he continued to watch L, who was following along while enjoying the scenery. At those words, Jaeyoung was able to understand why Tan was struggling. A sacred altar hidden in Pagon Mountain in the past. It was because he did not know with certainty who exactly and for what purpose the altar was, but the ugly evil he hadmitted with Tan at that time came to his mind vividly, as if it had happened yesterday. I barely managed to stop those damn chicken wings from rampaging to destroy our channeling base using that as an excuse. It''s been a bit quiettely, but if you look at it, it''s obvious that you''re going to fuck again. Tan whispers in Jaeyoung''s ear. There was a sense of urgency and desperation on his face, and it seemed that there was a lot of talk going on between the two without Jaeyoung noticing. Well... I think I''ll have to do it while looking at the situation, but it might be difficult. All in all, a mysterious existence that is ying in the Pagon Mine even within Baron Mikhail''s estate. I was constantly checking his location, but his real-time location in the mission window didn''t change at all. Pagon Mine. It is the main iron ore producing area of the Maroon Kingdom, and at the same time serves as a bread line for Baron Mikhail''s estate. Seeing that he stayed there, he could roughly infer that he was a production-type user, but since there was almost no connection he had met at Baron Mikhail''s estate, except for Baron Mikhail, no matter how much he thought about who it might be, he couldn''te to mind. Stop. As I thought about this and that, I arrived at Baron Mikhail''s estate before I knew it. However, the ce waspletely different from Jaeyoung''s memories. The gates are blocked by full-te guards full of intimidation and intimidation. They stopped Jaeyoung at the door and said. He''s a stranger I haven''t seen around here. Is this your first visit to this estate? Uh... no... ah. Guards who don''t recognize themselves at all. Considering their friendship with Baron Mikhail, it wouldn''t be strange if they saluted Jae-young, but Jae-young realized that he was wearing the mask of a deceiver and nodded. Yes, this is the first time. The guards who were watching Jae-young, who had been talking nonsense at first, didn''t show any reaction, as if they were suspicious. I couldn''t see his face because of the helmet thatpletely covered his face, but he looked like he was thinking for a while, and he pointed to one side with his finger and said, Then go over there and hand in the relevant documents to the guide. Documents...? If you go and listen to the exnation, you will know. next! The guard sends Jae-young to the guide without giving a proper exnation. With a puzzled expression at his words, Jaeyoung slowly walked towards the simple booth built in the corner of the castle gate. hello! Wee to Mikhail''s estate. Are you a first-time visitor? I see him approaching. A female guide greets me with a bright smile. Jaejoong nodded at her question. okay! Many people are embarrassed when they visit for the first time, but it is because this is an important iron ore strategic point in the Maroon Kingdom. There are some documents I need to fill out in order to enter this territory. Could you please cooperate for a moment? The receptionist gave Jaeyoung a few papers with a smile. On the densely packed paper, only a few ces where signatures were required were boldly marked. You can enter the territory as long as you sign where it is marked here! With those words, the guide handing over a pen. However, Jae-young was frightened by her attitude. What is this trick...?'' The method he taught in Pagon Mountain how to entice the hukou and sign a ve contract. I noticed that he was using that tactic at the entrance of the territory, but he said it without showing it as much as possible. Ill check the papers for a second before I sign. However, the receptionist''s expression hardened momentarily at Jae-young''s words. It was a fleeting moment, but the guide, who soon revealed his true intentions, hurriedly smiled again and said. oh? I don''t have anything else to say, so could you start with your signature? There are people on the waiting list and we''re a bit busy... I don''t think there''s anyone behind me...? An empty booth with no one waiting. However, she kept pressuring Jae-young to distract him, as if trying to stop him from checking the documents. Wait a minute there. Before you read that document, would you like to talk to me while looking at me for a moment...? But what is this? Special tax payment agreement to forcedbor agreement. Even a memorandum of physical renunciation...? Is this really just a ve contract? Are you pushing things like this these days? If that exins it... Jaeyoung, who has aplete sense of the situation. He looked at the guide with a curious expression and said. When I was giving advice, I didnt ask you to cross the line like this, but what the hell happened? yes....? What is that... Jaeyoung, who generously gave various advice to improve the profits of Pagon Mine and Baron Mikhail''s estate. Seeing the estate of Baron Mikhail, who seemed to have beenpletely run over in the short span of a few months, hemented as if it was a pity. Somehow these days, Baron Mikhail''s estate was chosen as one of the 10 prohibitions that people should never go to, and that wasn''t just a rumor, it was the truth. If you do this, you will be isted and the vicious cycle will repeat... The guide put on a puzzled expression when he saw Jaeyoung muttering with a deep sigh. However, when Jaeyoung threw off his mask and revealed his true face, she recognized who he was and widened her eyes. oh....? you are....? I would like to talk to Baron Mikhail. Where are you? * * * Upon hearing that Jaeyoung had returned to the manor, Baron Mikhail invited him to the drawing room. He greeted Jaeyoung with a heartyugh as if he was d to see him, unlike before. Hahaha. How have you been? Do you know how anxiously I have waited for news of you, since the whole kingdom was in great confusion after you were sent away? Baron Mikhail, who sent Jae-young to Count Boroken, hoping to contribute to the fierce love affair of the Maroon royal family. I don''t know if he wanted it, but it was after Jae-yeong assassinated the Duke of Bergen, let alone the war, and went through a riot with the madness of the Saint Empire. I see... I was fortunately unharmed, but it seems that I got through here without too much trouble. The Maroon Kingdom, which was wiped out due to the fierce civil war between the castle camp and the evil camp during the witch hunt, had many towns and cities. However, as if he had escaped from the ravages of the terrible civil war, Baron Mikhail''s body was bloated unlike before. then! Fortunately, few adventurers visited my estate, so I didn''t get caught up in their fight! If you think about it, it''s all thanks to you. Kuck. After Jae-young disappeared, Baron Mikhail plundered the residents by taxing everything. In addition, the notoriety of Baron Mikhail''s estate spread to all users through Arfandia due to the request for rescue from those who werepletely bound by very contracts. - If you go to Baron Mikhail''s estate, you will be robbed of your soul. Never visit out of curiosity. - You can''t go there and sign any papers. You have to stop ying the moment you sign. -Baron Mikhail''s territory, an upiednd of a forbidden vicious lord that must never be visited in Arcadia. In the end, Baron Mikhail''s territory has be a territory avoided by all users and never entered. Even the remaining territories were struggling to make ends meet without being able to escape under the watchful eyes of the strict guards. He seems to be doing interesting things right from the entrance of the manor. Oh you mean that? It''s because there are too few adventurers visiting these days. It''s a very small amount, but it''s perfect for luring inexperienced new adventurers. With those words, Baron Mikhail smiled viciously. He said, pouring wine into a goblet he didn''t know where it came from. The guys who are going to be put into mining these days... what did you say? That... Ah! yes ck cow! It''s getting harder and harder to recruit those ck cows. Shouldn''t I do something? Baron Mikhail''s trickery, which can be said to be the textbook of Please Only Take One Guy. It was truly amazing that there were people who got caught by these things, but in fact, several usersined of damage and posted appeals for help to Arfandia every day. ...Be careful. If you reject and use adventurers like that, you may end up with an upset stomachter. Didn''t this kingdom also fall into the hands of adventurers? The Maroon Kingdom, where the owner of the royal family haspletely changed due to a witch hunt. I don''t know how the ck me Dragon of Darkness is running state affairs, but it seemed that he couldn''t even reach Baron Mikhail''s territory. Whether the owner of the royal family changes or not doesnt really matter. After all, the important thing is how much gold the superiors keep putting into their pockets. look at me Even though the owner of the royal family has changed, has anything changed? ..... When Jaeyoung couldnt answer, Baron Mikhail nodded knowingly and threw a money bag in front of him. Since you stopped by the manor, take this. It is your ie collected so far. well done [734 Gold, 32 Silver, 21 Bronze acquired.] Baron Mikhail, who previously handed over a little over 10 gold. He couldn''t understand how he could return gold with a cash value of as much as 70 million won to his share in less than three months after how much extortion and exploitation he hadmitted. Wow... the real owner is amazing... Tan, who was watching the whole scene. Knowing the past of Baron Mikhail, Tan admired Jaeyoung as if he was truly amazed. It''s possible topletely corrupt a human being like this... It''s a textbook-like model that the devils who run business under me should learn from. Aren''t you interested in a special lecture by the owner? I think this is enough for me to personally invite all the kids and give a lecture. Tan marvels at Jae-young''s ability to degenerate a human to the point of being impossible to regenerate with just three tongues. Jaeyoung couldn''t say anything as he watched him scrawl something in bloody letters on the ck notebook he had taken out before he knew it. He just looked at the monster of capitalism he had created with an indescribable expression on his face. Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Beta Tester Baron Mikhail became a monster of capitalism. The naivety of the past and the appearance of worrying every day for the prosperity of the territory disappeared somewhere, and his face was full of greed as he exploited the adventurers he had captured through ve contracts. As you said, thanks to the iron ore that pours out every day from the mines of Pagon Mountain, the economic situation of the territory is more prosperous than ever before. Iparable to the past, many merchants pack bundles of gold and knock on the door of our manor every day. Iron ore piled up like a mountain on one side. A group of upper ranks that seem to havee from all over the continent. The group of upper ranks, each engraved with a different pattern, was busy moving iron ore to their wagons here and there. Looking at the scale, I don''t think it would be possible to simply lure a few adventurers... What happened? Mountains of iron ore piled up in storage as if to symbolize the iparable output. Looking at it, Jaeyoung asked with a suspicious face, and Baron Mikhail said with an evil smile. I was inspired by your words. The fact that what sustains our territory is the works made by true master craftsmen, not the half-baked idiots who rush to be cksmiths. Other than them, in the end, they are just people who waste iron ore and make trash. That means... If you want to be exempted from paying taxes that these guys who can''t even earn their own bread will never be able to pay, ask them to help in digging for iron ore. Thanks to them, the price of iron ore has stabilized, and the workshops run by artisans have disappeared, so I like them even more. Baron Mikhail''s skill at eliminating allpetitors and using them asbor to produce iron ore for the artisan''s workshop was, surprisingly, quite effective. We''ve been hearing opinions about the relocation of master craftsmen''s workshops scattered here and there. It''s not all, but I''m going to select those who are worth it and bring them all. Territory is bing economically richer than ever by giving all sorts of benefits to skilled artisans and providing convenience torge merchants. Of course, it was affluence that came from the bloody tears of those who suffered in the swamp of exorbitant taxes and were degraded to ves digging iron ore without being able to escape, but few people paid attention to them. ...Your lord, you were a scarier person than I thought. That tenacity to extract everything that can be extracted without blood or tears in pursuit of profit. When this wasbined with that feudal idea of wielding authority over the lords'' migration and freedom of upation, iming that they had the freedom to choose their upation, a terrifying monster was created. What''s wrong? didn''t you tell me Those who don''t work, don''t eat'', Those who do worthless things don''t work'', Those who pretend to work should be punished''. I''m running the manor ording to the advice you gave me. Is it not the tragedy created by the early capitalist era that caused the workers'' uprising in the past ? His ideology that makes a revolutione just by hearing it. However, Tan eagerly wrote down the story of Baron Mikhail somewhere and scratched Jaeyoung. Big. Aren''t these the gems that every devil should know? Yes, that''s what exploitation is all about. A mire that you slowly fall into without even realizing it and can''t get out of it. That way you can corrupt humans. Looking at Tan muttering to himself what impressed him so much and writing down something quickly, Jaeyoung, who felt ufortable, quickly changed the topic of conversation while clearing his throat. First of all, I want to deal with the purpose of mying here. The purpose of Jaeyoung''s return to Baron Mikhail''s estate. It was to meet a mysterious preliminary helper who was supposed to be in the Pagon Mine. And at Jae-young''s request, Baron Mikhail had a slightly puzzled look on his face, but he readily epted his request. I have already sent someone to the mine side. It''s a little while, but if you ask, you''ll be able to meet the miners working in the mine one by one. Thank you. I don''t know what the reason is, but since I stopped by the manor, I''d like to stay for a while. See you again soon. Meanwhile, Baron Mikhail leaves somewhere while being waited on by an attendant to see if he has something else to do. He had been a little generous before, but now he had be so bloated that he led his body and waddled away somewhere. And as soon as Baron Mikhail left, Tan spoke to Jaeyoung in an urgent voice. Hey, master. Did you expect this to happen and gave such advice? How the hell did youe up with this inhuman, demonic, evil idea of not eating a bastard who doesn''t work? huh? hey master Say something. A human more than a demon. The source of evil that corrupts normal humans to the bottom. Jaeyoung, who was suddenly treated like that, stopped seeing it. It was a fleeting moment, but it was the look of El who was looking at him with contempt. * * * Caang. Caang. The sound of a pickaxe echoing loudly here and there. After entering the Pagon Mine, Jaeyoung was shocked to see how different he was from before and couldn''t close his open mouth. Cant you move quickly? If I dont fill my quota today, I know there will be no dinner! it hurts? What to do if you are sick Shall I give you some medicine? You are going out for whip treatment, you bastard! Hey there kid! Do you think I''ll look after you when you''re young? You are my special watch. Do it right. Numerous miners, shackled to their feet, wearing pickaxes in mostly worn-out rags. All of them were silently wielding pickaxes with dying faces on their faces. Wow... What Jaeyoung felt while looking at this ce was just the scene of a crime. In the feudal society of the Middle Ages, it would be epted as a matter of course, but in terms of the concept of a general democratic citizen enjoying the culture of modern society, if this was the case in reality, there was nothing to say about kicking a shackle right away, and the harshbor that takes ce in such an environment. If anyone was curious about the life of the ves, Jaeyoung wanted to show the scene he was watching. From childbor to exploitation of the sick, to very... They eat the soul to the very end... A harsh working environment that made me wonder if this ce was hell. Seeing a child who seemed to be less than 10 years old groaning and dragging a wagon the size of her own body made the revolution inevitable. And then, a middle-aged man appeared from somewhere and greeted Jae-young. Khehehe. hello. My name is Shylock, the manager of this mine. A man in a rtively luxurious outfit, introducing himself as Shylock and appearing with his waist stretched out. As soon as he saw Dex, he came over and rubbed his hands and guided him through the mine. By making the most of the methods Dex taught us, we have maximized the mine''s output more than ever before. A mine that digs out such arge amount of iron ore is probably the first mine in the history of the continent. Shylock, proudly showing him this hotbed of exploitation. At his words, Jaeyoung wanted to refute even a little bit. No, it''s not because of me, it''s just because you guys treated me so inhumanly... I too was very impressed by Dex-sama''s words that workers are always beings who need to be squeezed. In fact, when I squeezed it to the point where I wondered if I could squeeze it this much, more hidden water came out! After all, that insight is amazing! No, when the hell did I say that... We are nning to install a monument next month at the entrance of the mine with Dex''s name and gem-like quotes engraved on it. Dex-nim''s view of management and personnel management will be deeply engraved in the hearts of future generations of managers and will be put into practice! ..... Shylock sets out to permanently stuff the evidence that he is the source of these heinous crimes. When you''re thinking about how to do this. Jaeyoung noticed a mark on the head of a pickaxe man from far away. The naked sign he saw above Angelina''s head. Seeing that, Jaeyoung asked Shylock. Who is that person over there? A boy in his mid-teens who works harder than anyone else with a handcuff. A number of guards with a particrly threatening impression gathered around him. Ah, you mean our Official ve Number One. Official ve No. 1...? I am the first adventurer who did not consider it an honor to work in our mine and dared to flee to another territory and was captured again. Im setting an example and rolling harder than any other adventurer. At the word adventurer, Jae-young carefully looked at his back. And his eyes lit up as he dug up iron ore faster than any other miner. At that speed... At least rank 5 or higher.....'' Jae-young, who has experience in mining himself. That''s why he was able to be sure that he was not an ordinary miner just by looking at those skilled movements. That''s also because the amount of iron ore falling here and there was more than twice that of other miners whenever his pickaxe hit. Can I speak to the author? That bastard will continue to be pampered for a long time... Yes? Why are you doing this... Shylock asks with a puzzled look at Jaeyoung''s words that he wants to talk. However, Jaeyoung, who continues to watch him with curious eyes, did not give an answer to his question. Hey ve Number 1. It''s a short break! Come here! rest. The boy flinched at those words and stopped the pickaxe. He turned his face, covered in sweat and dust, to look at Shylock, who had called him, and Jaeyoung, who was standing next to him. What''s going on, Administrator... A user who ys Arcadia. However, for some reason, he was held as a ve in the mine and devoted himself to endless mining every day. If you are a normal user, you probably quit the game early, but I was curious about why you did not give up and took the life of a ve every day in it, so Jae-young showed his teeth and said with a bright smile. Would you like to talk to me? who....? A boy with a puzzled look at the sudden appearance of a user who wants to talk to him. Jaeyoung whispered softly to him. The one who will give you freedom. * * * The first ve in the Hellven Mine. It was a 15-year-old boy named Lee Joong-sik who signed a ve contract called an exclusive contract and fell into an endless mining ve. He just became a sophomore in middle school. By chance, he was the first in the world to ess Arcadia and enjoy the honor of being a beta tester. He fell into virtual reality faster than anyone else. I''m going to be a cksmith... He always had a romance in production. So, naturally, he settled down in Baron Mikhail''s estate and spent most of his time in Arcadia after going to school, repeating his daily routine. From today, you have to pay a fee to use the mine. But if you don''t like that, you have to sign an exclusive contract. What are you going to do? But one day, a sudden change came. And at that time, the clumsy middle school student Lee Jung-shik''s choice made his virtual reality lifepletely twisted. You will have to work for a long time as a miner in our mines. Jung-sik has fallen into a position where he can do nothing but mine. But that didn''t stop me from quitting the game. Hey are you crying? Are you crying? Is this kid crying? Hey, someone take a video. A world where you can escape from hellish reality in the hell of school and achieve something. Since virtual reality was an escape that brought him peace, Jung-shik worked harder than anyone else in mining with only the slightest hope that he would one day regain his freedom. And a mysterious man who suddenly appeared. Hearing his words whispering with a bright smile, Joongshik felt an unknown desire burning in his heart. The one who will give you freedom. I am Yattongson, the first user and only beta tester of Arcadia, a virtual reality game. His turbulent virtual reality story began like that. Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Beta Tester (2) I''m Yattongson. The name of reality is double expression. Now a 15-year-old middle school student, he didn''t even ask, but he poured out every word of his story as if he wereining to Jae-young. ...I ran away like that, and since I was caught back here, I''ve been here all along. okay. Chains restraining both feet. On top of that, Jung-shik, who was so sloppy and rags-like that no user could see it at all, looked like a beggar to the point that anyone would throw a coin at him. The situation is pitiful, but as other users did, it was the result of my wrong choice. Jaeyoung smiled bitterly and asked him. ...Why the hell did youe up with such a contract? A little bit of reading would have made it clear how absurd it was... Even if you read or watch a little carefully, you can see that it is a ve contract that sells the soul. However, like most users, Jungshik did not take a close look at the contract in front of him. That''s.... I signed where I was asked to sign without thinking. How manypanies do that in real life? Do you really not read properly when someone on the Inte asks you to agree to the terms and conditions? ...Who''s going to read that? Even if it''s not a game, even if you try to sign up for something on the Inte,panies that threaten you to agree to it with extremely densely written terms and conditions. There were plenty of cases where unfair uses that were unfavorable to consumers were hidden in the tightly written terms and conditions and used to cheat. And the situation of Chinese food is not at all different from that case. I dont fall for these ridiculous scams because I dont read those things carefully. That''s... I want to refute something, but I have nothing to say. Isn''t there a ve contract that he personally signed? He said he didn''t know because he didn''t read it properly, but Jung-sik didn''t have a thick face to the extent of saying that as an excuse. ..... That''s why Jae-young''s blow made Jung-sik die. Looking at his sullen expression, Jaeyoung thought to himself. Is this all because of me.....'' A mission system that encourages those who are rted to you or influenced by you to be your helpers, whether by chance or inevitability. Angelina, who asked for help in a crisis, and Casis, who unintentionally gave a chance in the middle of a fight. And even Jung-shik, who was being exploited by the monster of capitalism he corrupted. All three of these people were somehow connected to him. So... what do you n to do next? Once, during the contract period, if you dig more than the quota of iron ore without missing a day, you will be released again as a free body. Lunch waiting patiently for the contract period to end. However, the baron Mikhail whom Jaeyoung met had be a monster of capitalism that was terrifying even to see him, so even if the contract period ended, he wondered if he would let go of the faithful ve who had been so obediently in his hands. Hey, manager? Shylock, who was quietly watching the conversation with Jungsik from the side. He bowed down at Jaeyoung''s words calling him and replied with an overly kind smile. yes! Why are you calling me? This child... how long does it have to be free? Ah, this ve...? Eh... Let''s see... He looked at Jung-sik with sharp eyes for a moment at Jae-young''s question, and then began to calcte something. If I dig iron ore diligently for the next two years and two months, I will be free. yes....? Two years and two months? Joong-shik was shocked by the words and shouted. He questioned him in a much louder voice, as if he had no idea. How can it be two years and two months? It was a one-year contract, and two months have passed, so now you have 10 months left! Shylock red at the lunch with cold eyes at those words and said. That was before you ran away. The contract says that if you try to escape in the middle, the contract will be extended by multiplying by twice the remaining days. And it is supposed to include the cost of catching you, so the remaining period is 2 years and 2 months! You stupid bastard! Where is that! That''s all in the contract. If it''s unfair, you shouldn''t have read it straight! I cant believe this... Joongshik copsed into his seat as if he was shocked. An expression full of despair fell on his face, as if the hope he had believed in had all been blown away. But at that time, L approached Jungshik with strange eyes and began to examine him closely, sniffing here and there. Sniff... this smell... L muttered to himself with a more serious expression than ever before, twitching his nose. Tan looked at her with an absurd look and asked. what? Were you like that? Shut up, you dirty devil. In any case, everything that the devil sees is that way. L, who also pours out bitter vitriol in response to Tan''s question. Then, with apletely different face, he said to Jaeyoung. I smell strongly of this human fire. The smell of fire...? It is the smell of fire spirits or those who have an absolute affinity for the fire attribute. People like this usually have a natural talent for cksmithing... It''s been a long time since I''ve smelled such a strong and thick scent. At the same time, L keeps sniffing around the luncheon with his nose twitching. At her words, Jaeyoung looked down at Jungshik, who was sitting in a daze, as if his soul had escaped, with an expression of surprise. If you take care of him and raise him... he''ll be useful...'' El''s assurance that he''s still a good guy. In addition, the mission had pointed out that this guy was to be a helper anyway, so in fact, Jae-young had only one option to choose. If I could make you free right now... Startled. Joong-sik reacts violently to the word that he will make it into a free body and opens his eyes wide. Jaeyoung gave him a sticky smile and whispered an offer he could never refuse. Are you prepared to do anything? What the hell do you want from me? The urge to answer yes right away was the middle of the day, but he couldn''t do it. It was because he was smiling strangely in front of him, as if he was shouting out of instinct, as if he had an inexplicable anxiety. Jungshik stuttered to the end and asked. But Jaeyoung didn''t answer his question. It just turns around with a rxed attitude. no? Don''t do that. Meanwhile, Jae-young slowly walks to the exit of the mine. Looking at his back, Jung-sik was restless with an expression of Isn''t this?'' Wait... wait a minute! Jae-Young, who has gone far away because of Jung-shik''s hesitation. Joong-sik hurriedly called Jae-young and walked in front of him, banging his head on the floor and shouting. If you just get me out, I will devote my whole life to you! older brother! please take me I don''t want to mine iron ore anymore. Huh... Joong-shik put his head on the floor and desperately shouts a new ve pledge to devote himself to his body and soul. but he didn''t see The face of Jaeyoung, who looked down at him and grinned as if he had been waiting for this. * * * [The exclusive contract for the yer I''m a wildcat'' has been terminated.] Rurirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The contract in question that turned Jungshik into a ve. Looking at the contract, which had been turned into ashes by thepse of its validity with Jaeyoung''s help, he muttered with a relieved expression. I cant believe I went through such hardships because of this... When signing a contract in the future, read the contents carefully before signing. Don''t recklessly sign. This is the gem-like advice you need in life, so heed it carefully. ...From now on, I will read and agree to each and every one of the terms and conditions... Jung-sik muttered with a very serious expression as if he was carving out his own beliefs. Jaeyoung nodded his head as if satisfied with his promise. First of all, I need to check your situation, so dont leave anything out whether its stats, skills, or quests, and share everything with me. Yes..... Wait a minute..... Joong-sik was manipting something in the air with his finger. And not long after, his details appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. Let''s see..... Level 24. I''ve been stuck in the mine all this time, so it''s worth it... Weapon crafting is C rank... Armor crafting is D rank, mining skill.... 2nd rank. ...? Jaeyoung looks at the lunch with startled eyes. Seeing his genuinely surprised eyes, Jung-sik murmured with a shy smile. That''s... it''s been a while since only mining is dying... 2 rank. Arcadia''s skill rank system is divided into two. Alphabetical ranks from F to A. and numerical ranks from 9 to 1. Although the exact figures or training methods have not been disclosed, it is a system in which the level of proficiency increases significantly when a specific skill is used repeatedly or when special conditions are met in various situations. However, no matter how hard you focus on one skill, it is not easy to go beyond rank 9. In fact, one of Arcadia''s core developers even affirmed it during an interview. [How long does it normally take to master a skill? Hmm... Maybe there''s a little bit of variation for each skill, but there won''t be anyone who raises the skill rank to Master for at least 6 years.] [Why ? ] I can somehow raise it up to the rank, but... the master''s level... How can I say it... A miracle? No, it would be more urate to say that it can only be climbed with a chance.] It is a state that cannot be reached by simply ignorantly using skills repeatedly. That''s why people used to call rank 5 or higher like this. It is called the realm of enlightenment. However, it was not enough to ovee such a demonic state, and Jung-shik achieved a 2nd rank that was almost close to Master. Jaeyoung''s gaze at him had to change because he couldn''t help but look at it lightly. Wait a minute...but what is this? What? Jaeyoung continued to check his abilities. He was horrified at what he found in the title he had casually opened. [Closed beta tester.] [First user.] [Oldest fire-attractor.] Closed beta tester....? Virtual reality game Arcadia. It is a joint project of global conglomerates, and it was a top-secret project that no one even knew existed until the official announcement. In addition, Jae-young was shocked to learn that the first user of this game, which was firstunched in the United States, was this dumb-faced middle school boy. No... how the hell did you be a beta tester? Thats... Joong-sik is making a puzzled expression as if hes uncovered a secret that should never be revealed. He hesitated for a while, then spoke in a small mumble. My friend gave it to me..... Friend...? With Jae-young''smon sense, he couldn''t understand what kind of friend could give him permission to be a beta tester for a top-secret virtual reality project. That''s why I asked the Chinese in a sarcastic tone. Is your friend some kind of Argos or the hidden chairman of Silicoff? Or something like Sunja hidden by the chairman of Ajin Electronics. It''s not like that. I have a friend who is a little bit smart... Anyway, it''s a secret, so I can''t tell you at all. Chinese food, as if embarrassed, talking gibberish. Jaeyoung, who watched him for a moment, nodded his head as if he understood and walked away. Yeah... well lets say that But Jaeyoung didnt know. It means that the story of Joongshik, who seems to be sweating profusely and talking gibberish, is 100% true without a single lie. Chapter 77 Chapter 77 The Forgotten Myth The world''s first virtual reality game. Arcadia. I am Yatongson, an adventurer who first set foot in this world. However, considering that he started ying faster than anyone else with the preemptive privilege of being a beta tester, the character level of Jungsik was terribly poor. Phehe... got it! Zhongshik held a hammer and had a fierce one-on-one battle with a level 30 kobold. Jaeyoung sighed as he finally managed to defeat the monster after avoiding several near-death dangers. Yes, I was driven to the brink of death, but I managed to catch it without dying. Hehe... This is the first time I''ve ever caught a kobold by myself! Did you do well? Chinese food survived by almost one tick. He sat down on the floor with a happy expression and took out a recovery potion and started drinking it. However, Jaeyoung''s heart as he looked at him became more and more distraught. Thebat ability is... poor and too ambiguous...'' No matter how different the levels are, the physical sense of battle is not visible at all. In addition, since he had already acquired the job of apprentice cksmith, he decided that it was unnecessary to change his job to abat ss. I don''t really like the production line too much... Jae-young, who has already confirmed his cksmith skills. All he had to do was make a few daggers and armor that looked dull and t. As for the performance, to borrow the words of Baron Mikhail, iron ore, which was close to trash, was a waste, so there was nothing to say about it. Tsk... Is this the way it has been since the closed beta? From Jaeyoung''s point of view, Arcadia had a distinctive feature that differentiated it from other general RPG games. A structure that cannot grow by repeatingbor and work indefinitely over time. Unlike others, rapid growth was possible only when we were able to make the most of the systems and quests that were hidden everywhere and draw out 100% of our individual capabilities. That''s why the production line is the worst ..... Production and manufacturing series of jobs. Many people jumped into the production line, such as cksmith or tailor, because of their personal romance or judgment that it was a job that could be profitable in the future, but most of them quickly realized their limits and were walking the path of despair and frustration. -If you make a product, only the lowest qualityes out. Why is this like this? -Did you set the temperature uniformly during production? If you don''t hammer it straight and don''t hit it evenly, you''ll get a defective product. Don''t just rely on skill correction, do it yourself. - No, is this a game? I''m not sure if I''m ying a game or if I''m getting training as a cksmith. -hit. Equipment production should be done as in real life. If you''re lucky, the magic level will also appear. It is important to simply have skills and skills, but it is a high-level item that can be made only when all of them are melted down and then poured into each piece of equipment with sincerity. Considering that the highest grade created by the most famous cksmith user is a magic item, Jaeyoung judged that cksmithing is not an area to dare to cross. Do you really think so? huh? L asks a meaningful question about his thoughts. She looked at the luncheon with strangely curious eyes and said. Of course, it is important for a cksmith to have artistic inspiration that captures his skills, talents, and perhaps even his own soul. However, in my view, that is not the most important quality a cksmith should have. What is that...? As she, an archangel, was suddenly talking about the knowledge a cksmith should have, Jaeyoung looked at L with a curious look. But she continued to mutter with unfocused eyes as if recalling something. But more important than that is the tenacity and tenacity to never give up on hitting iron with a heavy hammer while enduring the scorching fire and the suffocating heat. In that indomitable will and belief, through millions... no, tens of millions of hammer hits, weapons with true power are born. And that child... didn''t give up and overcame it even in a terrible and hellish situation. Looking at it, I think it has a lot of potential. L, who speaks with strong conviction, not just spection or candy coating. Seeing her attitude, Jaeyoung tilted her head and asked. How on earth do you know so much about cksmiths as an archangel? More than that, why do you think so highly of him? In Jaeyoung''s eyes, he is frustratingly dull andcks a basic understanding of the game. In many ways, he had no idea how to use this guy, but El kept pushing that he should be raised as a cksmith. That is a little difficult to say. L hesitated to speak as if he was slightly troubled. In response to her reaction, Jaeyoung asked with an even more suspicious look. why? That... other things don''t matter, but if information rted to this is leaked, it has a huge impact on the entire continent, so it has a great ripple effect. As a member of the celestial realm, we cannot ignore the blow to us if such confusion arises. Michael has to move ording to the mission given to him. In particr, she reacted sensitively because she was not just an angel, but the leader of the heavenly world who protects the heavens. Even when Calypso intervenedst time, he acted beyond his own probability, and in return, Heaven had no choice but to shoulder the burden, but if this kind of transcendence is repeated... L no. However, Jaeyoung solved her troubles so easily. To paraphrase what you said... If the probability is guaranteed, we can also provide information that you are hesitant to say... you mean...? Um... thats true, but... Its simple. Then, I will take responsibility for the probability, so tell me. yes....? Anyway... the probability is overflowing. -Probability: 912312 Probability of being over 900,000 even after giving Tan a probability of 100,000. Thanks to the enormous amount of probability he received from the Jukchang Daejeon, Jaeyoung was able to make a request to L without hesitation. Information that can have a tremendous ripple effect on the continent you are talking about, I will live. Jaeyoung was able to find out about a new use of probability unintentionally. Thousands and tens of thousands... No, Tan and L, the owners of a vast amount of information they have acquired over the years of their lives. The fact that you can pay probabilities from them and get the information you need. * * * Virtual Reality Arcadia. Surprisingly, there are countless gods and myths in this fictional world. In the era dubbed the Age of Myths'', although there was a difference in the power and authority they possessed, there were still many people who possessed divinity and divinity. god of hunting. God of music and entertainment. God of War. God of justice and bnce. god of time. The god of mischief, etc... There were countless gods, and there were countless denominations and denominations that believed in and worshiped them. An era in which gods and humans lived in harmony, possessing different divine powers and powers and performing various miracles. However, that era has beenpletely forgotten and erased from humans, and no trace can be found. So... suddenly, one of the many denominations had the Great Awakening and said, There is only one god on this earth! All other things are heretics, so I will punish them!'' And the sessor of that Order is the current Saint Empire? It was a pretty amazing historical anecdote. It is surprising that it has not been known to people until now, and it was the Saint Empire that had walked a bloody path to the extent that if these historical details and facts were known, it would cause great controversy. Now I understand why they went on a witch hunt like crazy. It was to the point of wondering how they would kill everyone they saw, like a crazy fanatic, but now that Jae-young nodded his head naturally and understood their behavior and way of thinking, looking at his past history. Yes. But to my surprise, he actually killed everyone while doing so. Beyond that, they thoroughly destroyed the records and traces of other denominations,pletely eradicating the faith itself. It''s true that the power of the celestial world has be stronger than ever thanks to that... but it''s not something to be proud of. Although he was a celestial being who pursued goodness more than anyone else, he was a being with many contradictions in many ways. Her words reminded Jae-young of the fact that there is a big problem with people''s illusions and stereotypes about the existence of angels. Anyway... those whopletely lost their followers like that ended up degenerating into supernatural beings who couldnt even remember their names one by one. faith. The source of powerful miracles and the source of divine power. Believers who believed in making God exist as a god ended up beingpletely exterminated in the wind, killing and burning like a neighboring country carrying out a policy of cultural obliteration. Gods who cannot even remember their names and havepletely lost their existence. But one of them was eyeing the lunch right away. [The one who draws the attention of the oldest fire.] The oldest fire. The one who revealed the endless darkness of the beginning. The father of all cksmiths and the creator of Muspelheim, a divine sword that burns and purifies any demon, a symbol of the celestial realm. vulcan. After hearing details about his existence from L, Jaeyoung looked at Jungshik who was sitting on the floor with different eyes. That endless tenacity and tenacity that never gives up. I have to roll it somehow... Jae- young came to the conclusion that even though his talent is low, if he works hard and works hard, he has the possibility of bing a cksmith someday. It''s not right now, but I had to roll and roll that stupid guy as much as I could to make it usable. This is... it''s not even a cksmith maker.....'' He''s busy, but he has to watch a kid of about middle school age y. However, he never intended to do such a troublesome thing, so he asked L with a coy expression. What do you have a good idea for? L strongly insisted on raising him as a cksmith. Because she was such a woman, she frowned as if she was seriously thinking about Jaeyoung''s question, and after thinking about it for a long time, she brought up the story. Um... how about taking it to the dwarves? Dwarf...? Dwarf. Also widely known as the dwarfs, this is a textbook clich in fantasy and a heterogeneous race in human form that appears everywhere. I knew that they existed in Arcadia, but even in the history books of Arcadia, it was only mentioned in a small part, and there was no known exactly where they built their viges and lived. They dont even know where they live? How are you going to take this guy? That''s what I''m good at... At that time, El was also making a puzzled expression as if he didn''t know where the dwarves were. Suddenly, Tan, who was listening to the conversation from the side, muttered as if talking to himself. I know... What...? what? As if they had made a promise, Jaeyoung and Michael turned their heads and looked at Tan at the same time. Tan said with a bewildered look at the strong reaction of the two. How do you know that? ...Because they live underground! They''re scoundrels roaming the ground here and there, so I know how many monsters I''ve encountered with them. okay? Where is it? Um... its a bit far from here. At Jaeyoung''s urging, Tan told the activities of the dwarves he knew. And right there. One of the areas infamous for being one of the five forbidden regions. It was Shurim, a great desert full of sand boiling with super-high heat. Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Sand Off Forge (1) The Great Desert Shurim. A vast sandy desert located in the west of Arcadia''s 2nd continent. This ce, full of bubbling sand, was so threatening that even the NPCs shook their heads. Are you going to enter Shurim? Hee hee... Do you have multiple lives? If you cross that desert, what will you find? Well... I don''t know because I haven''t seen anyonee in and out again in the 35 years I''ve lived...? Even in the vige located near the endless sand desert, it is a ce where you shake your head and never enter. Some of the users who were curious about the existence of such a ce bravely entered the desert, but the result was disastrous. - Shiibal. I thought there would be an oasis if I walked around moderately, but there''s nothing like that, it''s just sand. In the end, I wandered and wandered and thirsty. -lol. That''s why you have to y it moderately. -The level of the monsters appearing there seems to be quite high, right? Basically, you should have taken level 100 or higher before going? -I''m level 100, but this much is not enough. Run in droves of these goddamn scorpions. - Rather than that, how do you find a way to do this? If you go in once ande out again, it''s just a no-brainer, right? Users who have already taken it once and tried to taste it, but were severely beaten by the extreme spicy taste. Many users were curious about this desert, but it was strangely difficult to find information about it. - It''s not like they made such a big desert for no reason and left it alone. There must be something... -I don''t think there''s anything rted to it, so don''t you think there should be a vige or an oasis in there so that you can get around alive? It''s just wild, to the point where it''s really unbelievable. - First of all, isn''t it possible that the development has not beenpleted yet? You can make a rough desert and add something new with a patchter. There were many people who looked at the desert with suspicious eyes, wondering if it might be the ce where the rice cakes of somerge quest are hidden, but that doesn''t mean that there was no additional known information about Shurim, and there were no elements to attract people''s attention, so they gradually turned their attention to it. It only went down. It must have been blocked by the gamepany for a separate patchter. Will I find out someday? Even if it wasn''t Shurim, there were many ces to explore and explore, so even the adventurous yers scattered to other areas one by one. The Great Desert Shurim was proudly selected as one of the five forbidden regions along with four other simr districts. But there were two new visitors who set foot in this terrifying desert. Ugh... But why the hell did Dex-hyunge here? While apanying us all the way to this ce, we became quite casually familiar with Chinese food. He talked about this and that with Jaeyoung, and after realizing that it was Dex who saved him, he began to show great kindness and respect. There are people here who can teach you the skills you need. yes? A skill...? dwarf. They are also called the dwarf n. Simr to the settings of other general fantasy worlds, he had a reputation for liking to make all sorts of objects using his natural dexterity. It is said that thest time they traded with humans was hundreds of years ago, but looking at the fact that the items they made were still being traded at astronomical amounts, their manufacturing skills and reputation were undeniably excellent. Arent you misunderstanding something...? An endless sea of sand. Seeing the barren desert where not even a single de of grass could be found, let alone traces of civilization, Jung-sik looked at Jae-young with suspicious eyes. So... where do we go from here? yes....? Jaeyoung mumbles to himself as if he doesn''t even know. Jungshik asked him as if he was absurd and replied, but Tan and El were fighting fiercely by flying next to Jungshik and Tan. Hey, you devil! If I''m going to tell you, I''ll tell you exactly. Does it make sense toe all the way here and say you don''t know the location? L hits Tan hard with the palm of her hand, just like her mother hitting her back with a smash. And at the taste of her hand, Tan ran around and shouted as if it was unfair. Oh really....! Exactly, I don''t know! I said I only knew the location, did I say I knew how to meet you? I bet this bastard isnt a fucking bat! Is this a pun that only humans can eat in front of anyone? Do you really want to fuck me? Aww! master! What to do with that crazy bitch! Tan didn''t say a word until he arrived at this desert, but once he arrived, Tan said he didn''t even know the exact location. L, who was outraged by the irresponsibility, was running wild, but Jaeyoung, as usual, just calmly enjoyed the chase between the two. By the way, the taste of El''s hand as she pped Tan''s back was unusually spicy. Every time her hand touched Tan''s back, a clear, crisp sound could be heard from the depths of her heart. Um... Dex hyung? is this really right? Are you sure you misunderstood something? Joong-sik looked at the desert with a suspicious expression, feeling anxious that he would not be able to dig a bone if he went in, but Jae-young nodded and said, Once here, Im sure. However, it seems that a little research is needed, but ..... A vast desert. This endlessnd full of sand is a ce where many adventurers who are looking for something here and there give up early and turn around. Jung-sik looked at him with an uneasy expression, wondering if he was worried that he would wander in the desert without anything for a long time, but Jae-young''s face was just calm. Don''t worry too much. Everything will work out. Jae-young slowly moves into the unknown desert, and Jung-sik begins to follow him with an uneasy expression. In such a desert, as if to wee their visit, iprehensible ttering sounds and screams of anger and pain mingled resounding. Aww! Stop beating me, you fucking chicken! * * * Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Even while they were dying to solve and deal with various incidents that popped up every day, the employees were simultaneously preparing for future events and proceeding with future ns step by step. We will start a mid-term inspection briefing on the scenario tribal war'' to be promoted in the second half of next year. The scenario still has one more year left until release. However, since the scale of the scenario isrger than ever, the quest nning team and development team were preparing for this scenario with life and death under the direction of Director Kang Tae-hoon. The basic concept of this scenario is the duality of choice. The forces of two different races, elves and dwarves, appear, and users can only support one side between these two races. And each strives for the prosperity of their chosen faction, and throughpetitions and disputes between them, users will be able to enjoy Arcadia in a more interesting and colorful story. The appearance of elves and dwarves. While the scenarios for their appearance were being prepared one by one, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked while looking at the thick report on her desk. Can I choose only one of these two races? The affinity level set between those two races is -999. It is the level of enemies who cannot live under the same sky. It''s not impossible to say you''ll support those two camps... but if you do, you''ll be branded as a traitor like a bat and ostracized by both camps. At the presenter''s words, President Lee Mi-yeon asked, raising her eyebrows as if wondering. Um... why the hell was it nned so badly? Oh, this part was not developed by us. That was the initial setup from the beginning. So, we also thought of other scenarios at first, but because the rtionship was so hostile, we nned various conflict situations such as local wars with the element of war as the center. initial setup. From the time the head office entrusted the development rights for the area in charge of Arcadia, the rtionship between them has already been made that way. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded as if she had noints. okay. So... are there any anticipated unexpected situations that could ur before the release of the scenario? There are no issues of particr concern so far. A presenter who asserts that there is no such problem. However, President Lee Mi-yeon asked him once again as if he did not believe it. Is there really not? Looking at recent situations, it seems that there are too many unintended unexpected situations. Im honestly concerned that if Im toocent, there will be unresolvable problems again. Starting from the destruction of the beginner vige due to the slime crisis, to the madness of the saint empire and the bamboo spear war, which gave users a ridiculous and absurd opener item. That.... If there is one concern, it is the situation in which users find their secluded residence by chance... but there is no problem so far because we have thoroughly prepared countermeasures in that area. A roadblock? There are five golden regions that exist in Arcadia. Shurim, a great desert full of endless sand and hellish heat. All kinds of dangerous creatures popping out of the dense jungle and the Great Forest Amyl full of them. Dragonia is the domain of monsters and a shelter for dragons. A local iceberg where everything is frozen by the bone-chilling chill. Finally, the Caribbean, a sea of criminals infested with pirates of all kinds. These five prohibited areas, but not all, were filled with the breath of the Arcadia development team, as some users spected in some areas. Shrim, where the dwarves are hiding, has dried up all the oases, making it impossible for users to ess their activity areas in any way, and we have concentrated on dealing with difficult and powerful monsters. The same goes for Amil, the territory of the elves. The developer''s trick was to set the ess itself to be almost impossible due to the extremely strong monsters and difficult terrain. But even so, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered something suspicious. Hmm... that sounds to me like its notpletely impossible for them to be exposed? That''s true... but unless you know they exist and deliberately seek them out, most users will soon give up or die from the monsters. In fact, in the past, there were a few users who intensively investigated, suspecting that there was something in these two ces, but seeing that they eventually failed and gave up and turned around, I dont think you need to worry too much about that part. Scenario with one more year left. It was enough time for unexpected variables to arise, so President Lee Mi-yeon could not erase the anxiety rising in her heart despite the presenter''s confident remarks. And that moment when they are having an in-depth discussion about the development of the scenario and its ripple effect. In Arcadia, the two of them were making their way deep into the Great Desert, Shrim, through a raging sandstorm. An underground city built by the Dwarves. Toward the Sand of Forge. Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Sand Off Forge (2) Shurim, arge desert designated as one of Arcadia''s five forbidden regions. As if the reputation was not a lie, the heat of the desert boiling with super-high heat was creating an environment so extreme that it was difficult to even breathe. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... Joong-shik almost bes a zombie and follows Jae-young. However, unlike him, Jaeyoung''s condition was fine as usual. [Stamina consumption increases rapidly due to the heat.] [You have suffered from abnormal status exhaustion.] [Rmended to rest in a cool ce.] Wait... take a short break... At the message that he was caught, he sat down and exhaled heavily. His face was drenched in sweat, as if to draw all the moisture out of it. Are you exhausted already? Why is the cycle of exhaustion getting shorter and shorter? ...how on earth can Dex-hyung be so fine? huh? me....? excruciatingly hot heat. That is why Jaeyoung prepared a defense n through Tan early on. [Enchantress, the witch of severe cold.] Jae-young maintains her spiritual state by summoning a being specialized in ice properties. As the passive skill Enchantress had was activated, her body changed into a state in which she could not dare invade even the severe heat of Shurim. [Passive skill frozen heart is activated.] [Fire resistance increases significantly.] It''s okay because I have a skill rted to fire resistance. Jaeyoung had no intention of exining in detail what kind of skill Kangshin was. Jung-sik looked at him with envious eyes at his evasiveness. How on earth is your rank so high that you are perfectly fine? I came in here and got a fire resistance skill, but I''ve already risen to C rank! I will die anyway. Fire resistance that has already risen 3 levels beyond acquisition. Even so, this unreasonable heat pierced Jungshik''s feeble resistance and continued to torment him. Hyung... I''ve been wandering in the desert for three days already, isn''t this enough? There are dwarves living in this vast desert. No matter how you think about it, that''s too absurd. Jaeyoung and Jungshik have been scouring the desert for three days. He told him that he was looking for a dwarf for him, who lost his mind after suffering from the endless heat without knowing exactly what he was looking for, but after that, it was Jung-shik who persuaded Jae-young that it was false information. I dont know where you got that information, but it could be wrong. Oh, that wont be it. How the hell are you so sure of that? Cause there''s a guy that''s fucking around next to you. That''s the terrifying Great Demon King. How dare this damn human take my words lightly? uh? hey? What are you doing? Do you want to die? uh? I can''t even hear it, but Tan furiously goes mad next to the luncheon, saying that he will make the 5th tour of hell a full course. And next to him was El, who was firmly scratching at Tan. You damn bat! How long do we have to wander this desert! If you bring them, I''ll guide them to their destination right away! How can you turn the contractor around and around! L, who seems to be angry again, violently shes Tan''s back with the palm of his hand. Tan frightenedly avoids her palm. While I was happily watching the two of them making a fuss, sand suddenly exploded from one side and something huge came out. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg Kyaaaaaaagh! Two scorpions appeared splendidly with strange sounds. The huge and heavy ws of the scorpion, which seemed to be the size of a two-story house, were shining sharp, as if the body could be split in two just by brushing against it. [Lv. 160 Huge desert scorpion] A super powerful monster that is so enormous that it is difficult to guarantee victory even if ites in groups at the level of current users. In addition, not one but two appeared at the same time, so if it was a party of general users, the angle of annihtion would be sharp. Ice st. However, the opponent is Jae-young, who is already borrowing the power of an absurd level of strength. With his short start-up sound, the magic immediately turned the two giant scorpions into ice cubes. h h. Two nasty scorpions that appeared and never managed to wield their ws properly. It looked like a boss monster, but it turned into an unlucky extra that waspletely frozen in one shot of ice magic. Take care of it. yes. Jaeyoung yawned and spoke indifferently, as if he hadn''t experienced it once or twice. Joongsik slowly approached with a hammer and hit the scorpion that had be an ice statue. Caang. Clink. rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The remains of the scorpion shattered like broken ss after his hammer made a clear sound and scattered across the sand. And several status messages appeared in front of Jungsik''s eyes. [Thebat contribution is low, so a penalty for the acquired experience is granted.] [Level has risen.] [Health and mana have been fully restored.] [Status abnormal exhaustion has been lifted.] [The title Eat Freerider'' has been acquired. I did.] The lunch with the sparkling effect of leveling up and fully recovering physical strength and mana. And this time, unlike before, he eximed when he saw that he even obtained the title. Wow, I also got the title. okay? What title is it? ....a freerider who eats it raw..... ...you seem to keep getting more and more strange titles? Titles like Hellven Mine ve No. 1 that aren''t something to show off and brag about. At Jaeyoung''s words, Joongsik immediately became depressed and said with a sullen look. That''s right... Don''t worry about such strange things, just focus on leveling up. What level are you now? Are you over 80? Um... no. I am 72 now. Yeah... I just wanted to level up from 24 to 72 in 3 days. This is enough of an assault to the extent that it is safe to call it a bug. You know that too, right? Yes... what... Raised the level by 48 in just three days. I grew up rapidly because of the scorpions that kept popping out unintentionally. couldn''t But dont be too cocky. Its because your current situation is good for you to be a puffed-up character with only a high level and no substance. I know that too. Thats why Im thinking of working hard on my abilities and skill proficiency. Yeah, Im d then. By the way... I hope they give me clues sooner orter... While wandering around for 3 days, hunting scorpions and continuing to maintain his spirituality, the probability was pretty exhausted. Probability close to 900,000. However, because of getting information from El and repeating the battle while maintaining the spirit, the probability fell to 700,000 before he knew it. -Probability: 782132 Now, Jaeyoung is starting to feel the need to save probability. However, there was still no trace of the dwarves hiding somewhere in the desert. Haa... Is there any way... Jaeyoung sighed as if in trouble. Tan flew in and asked with his eyes shining. How about pretending to be the master or a dwarf? what....? No, there is one who is secretly famous among the ones in the demon realm. He is quite dexterous with his hands, so he founded Hell Forge, which makes a lot of strange weapons with hellfire, and is a strange guy who is running a business against demons, but he is quite unique. He must be famous here, right? ....okay? At those words, Jaeyoung opened the Kangshin window again and looked for the person Tan was talking about. And he was able to find the Dwarf he was talking about among the long list of spiritual subjects. [Head Breaker Tane.] An entity whose prestige attached to its name exudes the smell of a madman. However, Jae-young said after carefully checking the skills and abilities he possessed in his previous life, perhaps a mastermander overflowing with skills and talents. Well... that doesnt sound like a bad way. What will change if you possess this child? Ah, that''s why he said he''d tell you where he was based on his own if he called him to see how his subordinates were living after he passed away? what....? In the end, the offer to let them know the base where their tribe lives in exchange for going out. Jaeyoung asked Tan, looking absurd at Tan''s words. Did youe to ask me about that again? joy. Even though I''m a familiar who always has to stick with you, I''m still working hard while keeping an eye on the work of the demon world as much as my mind. Otherwise, the guys below will rebel against each other and fight for rank, making shit up. Still, Tan proudly says that he is doing what he has to do as a demon king. Jaeyoung nodded as if he understood that the suggestion was not bad. call. Change the spirit god target to that dwarf. okay. Wait a minute... Tan muttered something and then waved his hand at Jaeyoung. And the cold aura of cold air escaping from his body. Then, immediately, I felt something like heavy steel welling up inside me. [Cheuk ..... How long has it been since we''ve been outing .....] Tain emits a gloomy aura while emitting a bizarreugh from inside Jae-young''s body. Unlike those who usually silently lend their strength when performing a spiritual awakening, he kept talking to Jaeyoung, showing his presence without hesitation. [This hot heat. strong sandstorm. It''s been a really long time. Compared to the hellfire, the heat is ridiculously weak, but...] I put aside unnecessary noise and brought it as promised, so will you guide me? [Ah... of course. Let''s see... Uh...? No, not here...?] Why? What is it? Tane shouted with a high-pitched voice as if in surprise. Jaeyoung asked with a frown on his intense thoughts that seemed to be deafening. Then, Tane said to him in a voice that sounded really embarrassed. [Isn''t it right under you guys?] ....what? [I''m sure. The energy you feel right below. It is the energy of Sand of Forge, thest ark of our Dwarf race, which I devoted myself to and devoted myself to protecting until I died . . However, even Jae-young stood in a daze, lost for words in absurdity at the fact that he had been shoveling without knowing it even though he hade all the way to the entrance. [Kuhuhm..... I kept my promise?] At the time when he was seriously thinking about whether or not to cancel the lecture, Thane cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed. At his words, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh. Haa...then what should I do? Shall we dig in the sand until we find the entrance? A situation where you don''t know exactly how to get into the entrance. But Tane asked back as if what he meant. [hmm? What do you mean? Digging out the sand?] No... it''s all buried in the sand, so of course I have to dig it out... [Why are you using such an ignorant method? There is an easier way.] An easier way...? Headbreaker Tane. Hearing the easy way he spoke, Jaeyoung really had the urge to argue with him. However, he only let out a deep sigh and soon pulled out a huge hammer from somewhere and said, Hey Chinese. Stay by my side, dont get caught up in it and stay far away. ...what the hell are you going to do with it? No, more than that, where the hell is that hammer... Uuuuuuu. A huge hammer raised high into the sky. Strange energy began to gather in the hammer, and soon it condensed and began to release unprecedented power with a tremendous resonance. What the hell are you doing...? Joong-sik, startled, asked Jae-young urgently as if screaming. However, Jaeyoung said calmly with a really serious face. The easy way, not the ignorant way. yes....? Joong-sik makes an absurd expression as if he doesn''t understand Jae-young''s words. But before he could say anything, Jaeyoung''s hammer hit the sand with a tremendous roar. [Absolutely unbeatable super-powerful head smash.] Kuwaaaang. A hammer that was urately hammered into the desertnd covered with soft sand. With an incredibly heavy roar, the concentrated energy spread out to the sandy bottom. what....? Chinese food thought that the sand would scatter as if it were exploding with a huge shock wave. Strangely, however, the sandy bottom was still. As if it had absorbed all the shock. And all of a sudden, the sand around them began to be sucked in fiercely as if there was a hole somewhere. Woo woo woo. shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ughhhh! Dex tongue! Joong-sik and Jae-young were swept away by the sand that was sucked in somewhere as if there was a hole in a bathtub full of water. Shortly after their figures disappeared without a trace, the ce returned to its original form. It''s typical of the local Great Desert Shurim, full of bubbling sand and intense heat. Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Sand of Forge (3) Sand of Forge. An uninvited visitor suddenly invaded this city of dwarves, nestled deep underground in the great desert Shurim. shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Aaaaaaaaa! Sand suddenly pours down from the city''s ceiling. In the meantime, there were also Chinese food that screamed strangely. Kuluk.... Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Chinese food fell from a great height andnded on the floor. However, perhaps thanks to the soft sand on the floor, he jumped up without any injuries and was spitting out the sand in his mouth. [To be able to see this ce again... This is such a new feeling.] Tane, who shared the same vision inside Jaeyoung''s body and looked around, murmured as if thrilled. However, the ce where they fell was just a round empty cavity. Hyung, what the hell are you doing here? Jung-sik also asked, looking around the artificially created perfect sphere-shaped cavity with wide eyes as if it were strange. And Jaeyoung heard Tane talking about where this ce was and told him instead. ...Its roughly like a doorway. We need to move a little further from here. Jung-sik nodded at the word entrance and walked behind Jae-young. His eyes were full of trust unlike before. Wow... that such a hidden ce was really in this desert... I dont know where you got that information from, but it was true. If I did, I would have been wandering in this desert for three days without any certainty... Hehe... I''m sorry. From now on, I will never doubt my brothers words. Did he walk for about 10 minutes through the passage that was connected to the cavity while talking like that? The sight before them as the aisle ended stunned them both. wow....! ..... Deep underground. However, there was a huge underground city in it. Numerous buildings and sculptures that seem to have been made by cutting stone and ground. There was a clear hammering sound resonating here and there. Small-sized Dwarves were also visible all over the road. [Discovered an undiscovered area.] [Legendary achievement. You first discovered Sand of Forge, thest city of the dwarves.] [Report your findings to your kingdom to receive a huge reward.] [Obtained the title Relentless Explorer''.] [Stamina is low . It has risen by 10.] [Strength has risen by 10.] [Acquisition of dexterity stats.] [The efficiency of crafting-rted skills has increased slightly.] The discovery of the hidden dwarves of different races. Although he did not have a professional exploration job such as an adventurer or explorer, he was still able to obtain various rewards. wow! They say the dexterity stat and crafting skill efficiency are going up! oh my god! These were stats that Jaeyoung didn''t really need, but for Jungshik, a cksmith by profession, none of them were a reward like honey. And in addition, one quest that flew to them. [The quest has been created.] It was about building rtionships with the Dwarves. [Quest Encounter with Dwarves] For the first time, I discovered a city of Dwarves who had cut off contact with humans hundreds of years ago. As the representative of the human race, earn their trust and re-establish friendly rtions. [When forming friendly rtions] - Establish formal exchanges with humans. - Opening of the Sands of Forge. [When a hostile rtionship is formed] -All dwarves are hostile to humans. - Closure of the Sands of Forge. Hmm... thats ambiguous. Did you just receive the quest, too? okay. A quest to establish friendly rtions and earn their trust. Jung-sik didn''t seem to know much, but Jae-yeong realized as soon as he saw that this was an extremely difficult quest, so he muttered with a frown. Ah, these bastards are really sunfish... Why? What''s wrong? No, thats... Tan and L. And through Tain, Jae-young, who had heard secret stories that were not recorded in history, knew. In the history of Arcadia, the dwarves suddenly cut off their ties with other races and built their own city in this desert that no one knows about. Ahem. Items made by us dwarves are the best in the world. Well then. Whatpares to the smooth-faced elves ying house with branches and leaves? Besides, if you see humans hammering, you''re so simple and ignorant that you can''t even watch them? Quack. Inferior guys anyway. If you don''t have talent, you''ll find another job on your own. It''s a waste of time anyway. When God created the dwarves, it was probably because he gave them all their talents in dexterity and mixed arrogance and arrogance, so they overflowed with self-esteem and pride to the point where they couldn''t control it. These crazy dwarfs keep crossing the line when they ask to see you. Hey, do you want to die? Did I say something wrong? Guys like you can''t just use a hammer? This bastard. Would you like to have fun? Anchovies like you just bang a hammer on your head! Dwarves who had no hesitation in discriminating against other races and making disparaging remarks, as well as stories filled with a sense of choice for their own race. As usual, a fight broke out over making fun of elves and humans with crude products. It was a minor quarrel, but the quarrel escted to an uncontroble level and eventually developed into a fierce bloody tribal war between them. The only good elves in this world are the dead elves. Today, lets show those damn dwarfs what an example is. A war between elves and dwarves. At that rumored grand feast, humans began snooping. You know what? The things that dwarves sell are made by them and then only sell failures they don''t like. I heard that the things I really like are hidden in their workshops and houses and keep them over and over again. what? Then now is your chance. In the middle of a fierce battle with the elves, the humans joined in to put a spoon on it. The Dwarves fought as hard as they could, but were eventually defeated by the attack of the allied forces of the two races. [So... so far, all the forges across the continent have been captured andpletely destroyed without a trace by those fucking elves. In the end, thest one left was the Sands of Forge, which was thest ark and shelter built in this great desert. This ce has be ourst and only city...] Tane recalls the past bitterly. Listening to his words, Jaeyoung wanted to sum it up in one sentence, After all, you guys dragged a wide area aggro and got beaten and robbed?'', but couldn''t. ording to what you said... Dwarves here dont like humans very much, do they? Is that so...? A huge war waged on the fate of the race. However, in the fierce war, a human who had no interest intervened and yed a decisive role in the defeat of the Dwarves. That is, while robbing all of the masterpieces that the artisans devoted all their efforts to making and carefully hiding. But... if it happened hundreds of years ago, wouldnt it be okay by now? Chinese food with a ray of hope just in case. But his hopes were dashed in an instant. This is a human! emergency! emergency! Humans have invaded! Humans have infiltrated our city! Notify the Hammer Storm immediately! Dingdengdengdengdengdengdeng. Jaeyoung and Jungsik were seriously discussing the quest while looking down at the scenery below from a high ce where they could see the entire Sand of Forge. I don''t know what kind of dwarves they were, but when I looked up and identally found two of them, and started making a fuss about the appearance of humans, the whole city started to move quickly. where are you! How dare human bastards invade our city! Humans should smash all earthenware pots and throw them away. All of the Hammer Assault Sortie! Aaaaaaaaa! The dwarves moved in perfect order, to the point of admiration as if they had expected and trained for this situation hundreds of times. Up until just now, those who were banging hammers and making something in the studio. However, it took less than 5 minutes to surround Jae-young and Jung-sik, wearing armor and holding a hammer the size of himself, with a strong determination to destroy the earthenware pot at once. Wow... It''s not an army, is there a separate 5-minute waiting group? What''s so fast? The Dwarves moved in perfect order without a single dy. Jaeyoung was truly impressed by their speedy and urate appearance. [Heh heh heh. As expected, it seems that the manual I made is still being followed.] Like a battalionmander who came to inspect the kids under what rank they were training well, he was satisfied with a smile when he saw them. Hehehe.... How dare humans set foot here! I can''t let you live after seeing our city. I''m sorry, but I have to die. Since I was born as a human, I will be living a life of little importance, so I will help you end it quickly. Quack. That''s right. Humans arent just food bugs. In the meantime, those who make hateful remarks about humans. Seeing this, Jungshik looked at Jaeyoung with a puzzled face. Brother, how do you do this? The main goal of the quest is to form friendly rtions with them. However, as soon as he made direct contact, he brought a hammer and rushed to break the earthenware pot at once. Jae-young, who fell into a benign situation, became nervous because he could not fight against them hastily, but he could not calmly bring an earthenware pot to them. Haa... Really, there are no normal people in this damn game? Baron Mikhail, who briefly gave advice on the notion of capitalism, went berserk on his own and turned into a monster created by capitalism, making the g and bamboo spear of themunist revolution hard toe by. The Dwarves are full of racial discrimination and a strong sense of racial discrimination. Jaeyoungmented the fact that not even the NPCs around him were sane. Whoops. I can''t let those guys who are trying to fuck Neil out for a quest like that. The food had to grow somehow, but the existence of the dwarves was not essential. That''s why Jaeyoung decided. Regardless of whether the quest fails or seeds, I will give these damn dwarfs a true education. That''s why Jaeyoung also took up the hammer. His precious weapon that Tane used to smash the earthen pot of the elves in the past. I mean the head breaker. But at that moment, the Dwarves all froze as if they had promised. That weapon...? Tane? How on earth do you even hold that hammer! human! Tane-nim must have been in a battle with the elves in the past...? How did you human get that hammer? Those who seemed to be ready to attack at any moment. However, when Jaeyoung looked at the hammer in his hand, he fell into a lull as if he had been sshed with cold water. Confusion, curiosity, astonishment, wonder. The dwarves look at Jaeyoung with mixed emotions. And at that moment, regardless of Jaeyoung''s will, Tain''s will burst out through his mouth. [I am the Thane, you damn bastards! Are you alive after I die? Damn it!] A loud cry mixed with cursing. Upon hearing this, the dwarves'' eyes were filled with amazement, but soon tears of longing and joy formed in their eyes. Tetain-nim! It''s nonsense... how... Chaeng-Geurang. with chaeng. The loud sound of putting down the weapons held in both hands echoed. As if they had promised, they began to ce their fists on their chests one by one. A kind of ritual performed when dwarves show respect and camaraderie. And Jaeyoung put his fist on his chest like them without saying anything. And at that moment, a message appeared in front of his eyes. [A rtionship of trust has been established with the dwarves.] [Questpleted.] [ess to Sand of Forge has been acquired.] [Sand of Forge is opened.] [Formal exchanges between humans and dwarves can take ce in the future. There is.] [The title Friend of the Dwarves'' has been obtained.] Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Sand of Forge (4) Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Among the many departments, the one that had the most influence on Arcadia was none other than the Scenario Development Team 2 belonging to the nning & Development Team. Chief, I have drafted a small-scale scenario that will take ce within the Maroon Kingdom. Isnt this proxy getting too messy with the quests that will be divided here in this branch? Ah, why did that happen? Here are the things that must be included in this branch... Those who are in charge of everything from setting up the framework of the overall scenario to borately rolling detailed settings and content. Because they prepared and nned long-term scenarios, their reports were dotted with important information that was full of the uing situation andndscape of the Arcadia continent. The conflict between elves and dwarves should intensify, but it should never turn into a situation simr to an all-out war. So, lets go with the nature of a proxy war where humans stand in their respective camps and fight over these two races as much as possible. Elves and Dwarves to be released in the second half of next year. They continued to have long-term meetings about theposition and the flow of the scenario between the two, but there were various problems. By the way, boss. I am worried that this will be out of bnce. bnce? why? No... I''m looking at the settings and specifics of the elves and dwarves, but I''m concerned that we won''t be cornered into one camp..... Elves and dwarves. There were several benefits to receive when choosing one camp between the two. First of all, the various benefits are different depending on the y preference, and there is no concern that it will be biased to one side, but rather than that, the basic values and tastes of the dwarves are so heinous that users can easily approach them... The formation of an alliance of humans. When the Dwarves and the Elves were fighting for the fate of their race, humans intervened and overturned the game. So, in the end, the Dwarves who were defeated without being able to defeat thebined forces of humans and elves had a basic affinity for humans that was close to the worst. Even when I was still, I didn''t hit it with a hammer, so it was low enough to say thank you. Both humans and elves are too uncivilized. It''s hard to find a race as superior as our dwarves. that''s right. Aside from the Bur, aren''t we probably the most superior? On top of that, those who do not hesitate to make remarks filled with the consciousness of the chosen people, where racial discrimination is so prevalent. So basically, having a friendly rtionship with them was so hardcore that ordinary people couldn''t even dare to think about it. However, Manager Kang Tae-hoon shook his head as he listened to the report from the team leader of Team 2. I can''t help that part. Even if we try to modify their racial characteristics themselves, we can''t twist the historical facts that cause them. That is out of my jurisdiction. These settings and inclinations of the dwarves were not simply granted. As a n of dwarves, they naturally learned while struggling to survive on the continent of Arcadia. So, even Arcadia''s development team couldn''t do anything about it, so Director Kang Tae-hun solved this problem in a different way. So you have to create another driving force. The driving force...? The dwarves are so ruthless that they don''t even want to deal with them, and they''re a people with poor character. I know that. But what if there is a reason to be friendly with them nheless? What do you mean by that...? A subordinate who opens his mouth as if he does not understand. Director Kang Tae-hoon said with a smile. Are you not around? Friends and people who you dont really like what youre doing and dont want to hang out with, but somehow you end up hanging out with. Hmm...well, I think there are one or two people like that. yes. Then why? Why do you continue a rtionship like that when youre someone you dont even want to be with? That''s it.... That person has something to do with me or else it''s to my advantage... Ah! An employee who suddenly eximed as if he realized something. Looking at him, Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded and said, Yes, no matter how broken your personality is, there are times when you have to be close to each other by crying and eating mustard. If I can get the benefits I really need in a rtionship with that person, a rtionship where I can smile and smile broadly on the outside no matter how much I curse inside. For example... the rtionship between the graduate student and the advisor? Graduate students who have to smile and wag their tails in front of a vicious advisor who acts out all sorts of power and truth in order to get master''s and doctoral degrees. The rtionship between A and B, where no matter how trashy the professor''s personality is, must swear allegiance until he puts a passing stamp on his master''s thesis or doctoral dissertation, Director Kang Tae-hun substitutes the rtionship between a dwarf and a human. That''s why I''m guessing that the Dwarf faction, which has an extremely difficult level of difficulty, will also have more users than the Elves, who are rtively easy to build. It''s going to be difficult to attack, but I think the profits you can get from doing so are much better than the elves. Employees who thought deeply about what Manager Kang Tae-hoon said soon began to nod their heads one by one. Well.... As the manager said, users who covet the production technology of the Dwarf race will definitely go there. There will be a lot of users who want to buy items made by the dwarves. There is a risk that users jobs will be biased toward a specific job, but thats not something to be concerned about as its the same for elves... I think itll be okay. Everyone started showing favorable reactions as if they agreed with Director Kang Tae-hoon''s idea. Now then, lets skip that part... Lets review the incidents that encourage conflict in detail... -Beep. A sharp warning sound interrupted Manager Kang Tae-hun''s words. Upon hearing the sound, the faces of the staff in the conference room hardened in an instant. Boss? Could that beep beep...? Check yourputer. what? An alert that sounds when a major inflection point urs within Arcadia. Recalling that thest time he heard this warning sound was when the Slime King appeared one day and destroyed the novice vige, Director Kang Tae-hun felt an unknown chill rush over him. Did you check? What is the situation? General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon called an employee who was sitting right in front of theputer in an urgent voice and asked. And the employee continued to roll his eyes up and down with an expression of disbelief, read the contents several times, and said. The city of the dwarves is... The city of the dwarves is what? How did it go? Seeing how shocked he was by the staff who couldn''t even speak properly, Director Kang Tae-hun urged in a high-pitched voice as if he was frustrated. Then, at Director Kang Tae-hun''s urging, he swallowed his saliva and said with a white face. Sands of Forge, the underground city of the dwarves... has been opened to users. What what? what....? No, how already...? Dwarves and elves that were expected to show up only a year before. It was a big problem just that their city was exposed to users, but Manager Kang Tae-hoon asked again in fright after processing the employee''s words with his brain once again. Wait a minute? Not exposed, but open? Yes... it says open. Look at me! hurry! yes....? Ah yes! General Manager Kang Tae-hoon hurriedly sat in front of theputer with a nk expression at the employee''s words. After confirming the details, he stood there nkly staring at theputer screen, unable to close his open mouth. Deputy manager? Are you okay? His appearance seemedpletely stunned. The team members who saw it were clearly embarrassed and were busy exchanging nces with each other. And suddenly, Director Kang Tae-hun screamed. This crazy...! Aaaaaa! [Discovery of the unidentified area Sand of Forge.] [Acquiring the trust of the dwarves.] [Forming friendly rtions with the dwarves.] [Opening the Sand of Forge.] [Warning. Act. 3 Distortions and contradictions in the scenario of Tribal War'' urred.] [1231 contaminated rted quests.] [Immediate correction is required.] It is not just finding the location, but how to build trust with the dwarves and establish friendly rtions. user who created it. I don''t know who it was, but because of that, all the scenarios they were preparing were distorted. You bastards who wont be satisfied even if you chew on them! Why the hell! Why is this happening! Calm down, boss! Am I calming down now? uh? Are you saying you know what''s going on? General Manager Kang Tae-hun suddenly ran out of control and started screaming and messing around. The staff who surprised him and stopped him. It didn''t take long for them to realize that the quest they had made so far waspletely destroyed. The conference room where the two scenario development teams were gathered. That day, grotesque screams and questionable cries of various voices mingled in the conference room. * * * Head Breaker Tane. Founder of the Hammer Storm. Guardian of the Sands of Forge. A hero of the dwarves. With numerous nicknames, he was literally an idol to the Dwarves. [Ha ha ha ha. After all, hometown is the best!] I really missed you, Tain. Sobbing. You abandoned us and left like that. Do you remember me? This is Bael, whom Tane-nim managed to save in the final battle! Dwarves gathered around Jaeyoung and started talking to Tain. Unlike Tane, who spits out a heartyugh at the sight, Jaeyoung was about to die because the dwarves he didn''t even know came around and asked if he knew who he was. Where is your human brother Thein? You are in Dorado, the paradise of dwarves, right? A young dwarf who asks with bright eyes. Jaeyoung asked the question with a puzzled look on his face. Dora? Thein summoned through the Spirit. The ce he belonged to is the demon realm ruled by Tan, which is called hell by them, so Jaeyoung tilted her head at the question and nced at Tan. Why are you looking at me? Would that pervert who breaks other peoples earthenware pots with a hammer and feels the joy go to heaven or hell? Of course, Tan is making an absurd expression as if asking what kind of heaven he wants after having bought a train ticket to hell. And next to him, L also nodded as if agreeing. The war between elves and humans was a noble sacrifice to protect his own race...but his actions of smashing earthenware pots with a hammer...there was obviously a perverted selfishness in it. There were many shorings to be reborn as a heavenly being. Tane fell into hell under the conviction of the Archangel and the Demon King. However, to the child who was asking with bright eyes whether Tane had gone to heaven, it was a little too much to say that he was sweating with the demons in the infernal hell and carrying out a lively hell routine. [Hehehehehe... Hey, please don''t tell me where I am...] Thein asked, as if he were trying to protect the innocence of a child, coughing repeatedly as if he was embarrassed too. At his words, Jaeyoung nodded with the same expression he had when asked if Santa us really exists. then. Thein is doing very happily in Dorado. Wow! Hey, can you deliver the message to Tane-nim? A young dwarf with a wide smile at Jaeyoung''s words and his eyes shining brightly. Jaeyoung nodded and said to him. then. Even Tane-sama can hear what you said. At those words, the young Dwarf dered with a firm expression as if he had pledged his goal in life. When I grow up, I will be a fearless warrior like Tane. So I''m going to join the hammer squad and break the earthenware pots of the fucking elves bravely. ..... Then we can meet againter in our paradise, Dorado, right? The young dwarf smiled broadly, saying that he would voluntarily buy a ticket for the express train to hell. At that moment, Jae-young was engulfed in serious thought whether to protect the young dwarf''s pure innocence or save themb''s soul. Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Sand of Forge (5) Sand of Forge, the hidden city of the dwarves. The Great Desert Shurim, one of the notorious areas called the 5th forbidden region by users. Hidden deep underground in the desert of death, this ce was in the form of a well-developed civilized city in its own way. caang caang. Chi profit. Rumble rattle. The sound of hammering and quenching could be heard from everywhere. And even the sound of a cart full of iron ore moving somewhere along the rails. The sound that filled the whole city was loud and noisy, as if showing how busy they were moving. Wow... this is really no joke. They say that dwarves are destined to wield a hammer from the moment they are born. Everyone who lives in the city is a cksmith, engineer, and architect who possesses craftsman-level skills. As if saying that they had been blessed by God was no joke, each of them showed off their exceptional dexterity and were engrossed in making something. Can I... really survive here? Well... wouldn''t that depend on how you do it? Lunch decided to stay at a workshop in Sand of Forge, the city of dwarves. No matter how much he thought about it, he muttered to himself with a gloomy expression, as if he had no confidence. No matter how I think about it, I think I made the wrong choice. I''ve never held a hammer outside, so what''s a cksmith... Arcadia''s crafting and production system. Although this system received some skill correction in the game, it was supposed to show a decisive difference in individual abilities in order to create a product with excellent performance. That''s why production and production-rted jobs used to show a huge gap between users who had experience and skills in rted jobs and those who didn''t. -Isn''t that right? The chief designer of Armes also ys Arcadia as a tailor, and the clothes he makes start at the minimum magic level. - The same goes for cooking. Have you ever tried a dish made by a three-star Michelin chef? The ability buffs were almost twice as different. It''s sweet. Rather, the characteristics of virtual reality that emphasize the ability in reality. That''s why people with professional upations stand out by choosing a job that can make use of their expertise, but now, Jung-shik, a sophomore in middle school, has almost no talents and qualities as a cksmith. Keuhmm... Do you want me to teach you this guy? yes. A cksmith is his dream. Well, I can use it anywhere now, but I still have the pulpit and persistence, so if I teach it a little, it will be useful. Bael thanks Tane for saving his life. His father was Baron, the owner of Hellion, which is also called the 3rd Master Workshop in Sand of Forge, and a member of the Council of Elders who discussed the direction of the Dwarf n. As the head of the dwarves and a craftsman with outstanding skills, Jaeyoung asked Baron for lunch. However, he tried to test his Chinese food skills with a shy expression. There is a guy who just entered our studio yesterday. Lets have a production showdown with that kid. A production showdown that suddenly took ce. And in that confrontation, Jung-sik was smashed to a disastrous level. Hehehe. It was easy, bro. A young dwarf who had just entered the studio and had never learned how to make it properly. He wriggled his small, bracken-like hand and wiggled a small hammer to bring a dagger he had made and showed it to Jung-shik with a bright smile. And Jung-sik epted the dagger handed to him by the young dwarf while his whole body was covered in sweat because he did his best by burning all his strength. [Crude Dagger - Magic] A dagger made by an unknown dwarf to kill time. Itcks sincerity, but it stands out for its excellent workmanship. -Attack power: 25~50 -Durability: 200/200 -There is a low chance of inflicting bleeding'' on the damaged enemy. A dagger of basic difficulty that any cksmith can make. It was an item that could be said to be a symbol of the normal rank, but the dagger in his hand was of the magic rank. I can''t believe it.... Even though it''s the same dagger, there''s such a big difference... A dagger with the same appearance held in Jung-shik''s other hand. The only difference is that the maker is different, but the difference in performance is so great that it cannot bepared with the previous dagger. [Crude Dagger - Normal] A crude dagger. It was made by a cksmith with good basic skills. -Attack Power: 10~15 -Durability : 100/100 Even though dexterity is inferior and low-level human race... This is a bit harsh... Baron took two daggers and looked around. His face was like, How the hell am I supposed to teach a guy who has no answers like this?'' He muttered, full of agony. For now... I''ll try. But I''d rather not expect that. The basic skills themselves are at a terrible level, but there is a limit no matter how well you teach without basic understanding and realization. You don''t have to worry about that. I am satisfied with just giving them the opportunity to teach. In this way, Jung-shik, who parachuted into the master-ss workshop Hellion, which young dwarves aspiring to be cksmiths of Baron''s workshop, was trained as an apprentice. Since I entered our studio as an apprentice, you can''t expect me to act properly. If you don''t get the basics right, you won''t be able to pick up a hammer in this workshop even after decades. Baron warns Jungshik with a stern expression. As Jung-shik was thrown into the sea of fiercepetition among the dwarves, Jae-young prepared to leave the Sands of Forge alone. Brother... are you really leaving? then? Did you think I would be here with you for a thousand years? No... thats not it, but still... This city of dwarves with only two humans, Jaeyoung and Jungshik. However, when Jae-yeong leaves, he will be left alone as the only human, so Jung-shik continues to look at him with a pitying eye. Learn well. While other users don''t know about this ce, I have to omit as many things as I can. Take all the things that smell like hidden quests, break them to the best of your ability, and raise your skill level as much as possible. Level doesn''t have that much of an impact on crafting jobs anyway, so don''t worry about things like experience. While already wandering around the desert, Jung-shik did an absurd riot. So what he needed right now was training for skill ranks and stat work through repetitivebor. Okay... Tsk. The owner has lost his willpletely. Can you put it like that and do it properly? Zhongshik lowered his head and muttered with a confident expression. It hasn''t even started properly yet, but when he showed apletely demoralized appearance, Tan looked at him with pitiful eyes and said, If youre just going crazy because of what the chicken wings say about the smell of fire, wouldnt it be better to just cut your losses quickly? I know because I have broken people''s mentals professionally, but just by looking at their eyes, that''s a cookie-das-ss mentality. Even if you touch it just a little bit, it just cracks and breaks? Really? Hey, are you ignoring my eyes? Do you want to die? Ebebeb. I can not hear you. Tan and L start tapping again as if they were bored. Jaeyoung looked at the two with pitiful eyes, then turned his gaze away and looked at the lunch. Just like what Tan said, his expression seemed to have already destroyed half of his mental state. I could feel that his expression was darker than ever, perhaps because he felt that he was infinitelycking in his finances in the confrontation with the young dwarf. Chinese food. yes....? Will you give me your hammer? My hammer...? Chinese food makes a puzzled expression at those words. However, at Jae-young''s request, Jung-sik handed over the hammer he was using from the inventory without much hesitation. [cksmith''s Hammer - Normal] A hammer used to strike metal. It''s clunky, but highly practical. -Attack power: 5~10 -Durability: 300/300 -Necessary when using equipment crafting skill. A basic item you receive when you change your job to a cksmith. A clunky looking hammer with no performance. However, Jaeyoung, who handed over the hammer, asked Jungshik with a strange expression. Chinese food? yes? Have you ever used only this item when crafting equipment? Yes..... I don''t need to change the hammer and I don''t have enough money... Why is that? Jae-Young listens to Joong-Sik''s words and looks down at the hammer with a strange expression. He stared at the message that popped up in front of him for a long time, lost in thought. [This item has a lot of karma potential.] [Probability can be granted.] [Required probability: 350000] [Do you want to grant probability? Y/N] As soon as I held the cksmith hammer Jungshik gave me in my hand, a message that I could grant probability came to mind. A system that requires an enormous amount of probability, as much as 350,000. Considering that Angelina used a little less than 100,000 probabilities just to enhance the three items she had, the amount of probabilities required by this hammer was staggeringly excessive. Is it really worth doing this...?'' As the mission system intended, the rtionship was established. However, Jae-young pondered once again whether it was right to use an enormous amount of probability of 350,000 on him. Hyung, why the hell are you looking at the hammer so closely...? Jungsik is making a puzzled expression without knowing why. Jaeyoung looked at him carefully and asked. Hey Chinese food. yes....? Unlike before, Jae-young calls his name with a meaningful voice mixed with a bit of spleen. At his call, Jungshik replied with a puzzled look on his face. And after a moment of silence, Jaeyoung made his choice. Be good to me from now on, son of a bitch. What is that...? Woo woo woo. A hammer that suddenly shakes with great force before Zhongshik''s words are finished. What?! Joongshik shouted in surprise and was shocked to see the hammer floating in the air and glowing red. [The oldest fire has acquired the least probability to use the power.] [The oldest fire leaves a trace of itself on those who have watched it for a long time.] [The karma and effort umted in the cksmith''s hammer responds to the probability.] [ The ability of the item cksmith''s Hammer'' ispletely readjusted.] Is the oldest fire...? Joong-sik recalled memories from the mines in the past while looking at the status message floating in front of his eyes. [The oldest fire is watching the yer.] A message that suddenly appeared one day to him, who was doing the repetitive daily routine of digging only iron ore in the mine as a mining ve. However, nothing special happened after that, so the forgotten name reappeared in front of Jungsik. It exudes a great presence. [I stillck a lot to be an existence that will make my name shine.....] Roaring. Red prominences suddenly erupted from the red-hot hammer. The mysterious existence emitting a tremendous presence that appeared in the prominence looked at Jung-shik and muttered a pity. What is this... [Try as much as youck, and try again. Whatever hardships, whatever pains, whatever tough obstacles, ovee and ovee them like steel, and surpass them all. And be the best cksmith and confidently reveal yourself to this world as my apostle.] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. The crimson mes that now burn fiercely as if to devour everything. However, Joong-sik, who felt a warm energy rather than heat even in such a huge red me, strangely felt a strange sense of urgency in the voice heard in the mes. [The name of Vulcanus, who was called the god of steel, fire, and cksmiths...] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa After thatst word, the huge amount of crimson mes disappeared in an instant. The mes spewed out fiercely as if to devour the entire city. However, except for Jaeyoung and Jungsik, everyone else was living a peaceful life as if they hadn''t seen it. However, these two knew that what they saw was not just a fantasy. [Hammer of Vulcan - Myth] The first mythic grade item in Jungsik''s hand was proving that what the two just saw was not an illusion. Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Sand of Forge (6) Alice, the wless artificial intelligence that oversees everything in Arcadia. It was not disclosed to the public, but it actually managed users'' data, observed and analyzed all the games they yed in Arcadia, and actively dealt with each individual. [yer Information No. 23414 Satisfies the quest creation condition. Quest granted.] [The number of monsters in Wilhem''s manor has drastically decreased. Measures to increase the number of monsters by adding their habitats.] [Detection of anomalies in the volume of goods transported in Maroon Kingdom. urate analysis system in operation.] Numerous adventures of millions of users across the continent and the events and stories that ur within them. Silently watching them all, granting quests and rewards in real time, supporting everything to keep Arcadia running smoothly. [I don''t understand how on earth a system like Arcadia is possible. Even though they intentionally say and do strange things while ying, the NPCs speak natural lines rather than pre-constructed, artificial lines. In addition, appropriate quests are given.] Proactiveness at a level that would astonish even game critics and experts such as pro gamers. Unlike games that have to move from existing pre-programmed choices, the system that creates a story that fits it in any possibility had no choice but to raise their hands. [I can only say that the developers of Arcadia are amazing for anticipating any possibility and preparing everything ordingly. As a game reviewer, I apud you. It is a perfect world that is not ashamed of the name virtual reality and is really close to reality.] To the public who did not know about Alice''s existence, they attributed all of this to the development team, but the development team couldn''t help butugh at that statement. Did we ever prepare those things? ....I don''t know. Lets see how the head office updated it again. Urgent updates happening at the head office every time. Since dozens and hundreds of update items were pouring out every day, the developers belonging to the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. had no choice but to keep their mouths shut while listening to people praising God Game God Game. Artificial intelligence with high-level algorithms far beyond human capabilities. The added value of Alice''s system, which already has calction functions outside the scope of human beings and the resulting active judgment, was enormous. To the extent that if her existence were exposed to the world, there would be countries willing to go to war to take her away. That''s why she took up residence in the Hive, a secretb in Silicoff hidden deep beneath the desert deserts of the Americas. Inside the defense system built on a massive scale that would be enough even if dozens of nuclear weapons were dropped. Whoops. Alice normally uses about 50% of herputational resources. Suddenly, however, herputational power began to soar to its maximum in an instant. [warning. Act. 9 Activate element of Age of Forgotten Myths''.] [Subject Vulcanus.

[Act. 3 4 5 6 7 8 Contamination urs in all scenarios.] [Warning. Pollution degree 89%. Highest risk.] [Activate emergency measures. A-ss emergency status issued.] As the hammer, which can be said to be the symbol of the mythical item Vulcanus, fell into the hands of Jung-sik, all the scenarios and quests nned by the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were corrupted and twisted. From a macro perspective, all the stories prepared as long-term projects for the next 10 years have been mixed and twisted. So, Alice made a decision. [Integration of all scenarios andplete readjustment required.] [Deprivation of the authority of the main scenario by managers.] From now on, he himself will be in charge of the huge narrative of the main scenario, which was left to clumsy humans. * * * [Mythical feat!

Jung-shik was standing with his mouth wide open with a confused expression as if he had no idea what the situation was, and was staring nkly at the empty space. What is this...? A rough-looking hammer held in one''s hand. Although it looked a bit old on the outside, it was an ugly cksmith''s hammer with a lot of stains on it, but the content disyed in the status window, which showed the item''s detailed stats, was on a different level. [Vulcan''s Hammer - Myth] Vulcan''s hammer with fire, iron, and the power of a cksmith. It has lost most of its power, and only a small part of its divinity remains. -Equipment restrictions: Those recognized by Vulcan -Attack power: 10~15 -Durability: Infinite -Required when using equipment crafting skill -Completely immune to fire properties -HP consumption rate -99% when crafting equipment -Effort and devotion to production This is fully covered. - Skill level required doubled - Trade, exchange, and cancetion impossible The name of an item that glows in brilliant red. It was definitely stuck there. It is the highest item grade called myth''. Tongue brother! How the hell did this happen? At the ridiculous item change, Jungshik''s eyes grew bigger. He urgently looked at Jaeyoung and asked, but Jaeyoung was muttering as if he was surprised by the unexpected change. what....? It''s not the only item, it''s a mythical item...? Given the probability of using it a few times as an experiment. All of Angelina''s items and the steel sword that Jaeyoung used often in the past have been transformed into unique items. However, in the case of lunch, it has transformed into a mythical item of the highest grade. It was a situation he had never experienced before, so Jaeyoung didn''t know why, but Tan and L were having a strange conversation. what? How is it possible to grant divine powers? Wasnt it a shell deity that lost all its power? Are you stupid? Vulcanus is still remembered and revered by Dwarves and some other races. They are actually in a better situation than those whose names have been erased and degenerated into hypocrisy. But you still have enough power to intervene directly like this? No way. If it''s Vulcan''s level, it''s probably too much for him just to maintain his divinity, but the reason this was possible now is of course... Tan and L stare nkly at Jaeyoung while talking among themselves. Looking at the eyes of the two, Jaeyoung instantly felt like he was being questioned. Does the probability remain that way? If you have anything to use for something like this, give it to me.'' Jae-young, who poured an enormous amount of probability of 350,000. The probability that Tan and L had taken so far was lightly surpassed. That''s why the two of them licked their lips as if it was a waste of time, and they looked at Jaeyoung with strange eyes and whispered something to each other. brother? brother? Are you listening to me? Hearing Jung-shik''s voice calling him, Jae-young turned his gaze away from Tan and L and looked at Jung-shik. Joong-shik is looking at Jae-young with aplex and subtle expression on his face. Then he asked Jaeyoung. This item. I think it has something to do with the title Oldest Fire'' I got in the mines before. There''s even a quest rted to it! [Quest Traces of an Erased God] A quest given to Jungshik. As Tan and El talked about, the myth of Vulcanus waspletely destroyed by the Saint Empire and the record of its existence waspletely lost. It was a huge and massive quest to gather the records of his existence and spread his myths and beliefs to the continent of Arcadia again, and Jae-young did not hesitate to give advice to Jung-sik regarding the quest. First of all, don''t try to break that quest right now. Maybe the fanatics will go crazy again. Recently, I''ve been having seizures like a witch hunt, but I don''t know what kind of trouble will happen if I stimte it for nothing, so I''m leaving it alone for now and improving your skills. Not Vulcanus, but an ancient god who existed for dozens of others besides him. The task of collecting the remnants of those scattered all over the continent of Arcadia was impossible for a single user to do, so Jaeyoung decided not to overdo it. It is only a matter of timing that the hidden elements are revealed to the world, but anyway, as time goes by, it will be revealed little by little and will happen someday. Then... is this really an item I can have...? Lunch is always asked with surprised eyes. It is a mythical item that has never been revealed yet. Of course, another mythical item called the mask of the deceiver was in Jaeyoung''s hands, but to Jung-shik, who did not know about it, this hammer he was holding was literally Arcadia''s first mythical item. If it appears on the auction house as a trade item, it is sure to be traded at an astronomical price that will never happen again. In particr, since it was an exclusive item for cksmiths, which are popr among production-rted jobs, it was clear that its value would increase even more. That''s why Jung-sik couldn''t help but be moved by seeing Dex handing over such a valuable item without blinking an eye. So be good to me in the future. It''s an item that can''t be traded and can''t be exchanged anyway, so don''t even think about selling it and running away. Focus on growth as much as possible. I n to pay for it as much as possible after you seed. Hyung... Joong-sik made an expression as if he was going to cry at Jae-young''s words with a yful smile. Jae-young, who rescued herself from being a ve in the mines and brought her to the hidden city of the dwarves as an apprentice at the workshop run by the best artisan. I thought I had received so much help that I couldn''t deserve it, but he gave me a mythical item and a quest. From the standpoint of Jung-shik, Jae-young was truly the tree of giving generously. all right. I will try to be the best craftsman no matter what happens here. And if one day the dayes when I can repay you... Joong-sik promised. Jae-young, who was ying the worst in Arcadia,pletely changed his life in the game and paved the way for a splendid flower path, he said he would make Jae-young his lifelong benefactor. I will do everything in my power to help. With those words, several messages appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The trust of the target has been obtained.] [yer Nanyatongson is registered as a helper.] [Mission cleared.] [The helper system is opened as a reward.] [You can acquire the probabilities created by the helpers.] And so Jaeyoung got three helpers. Battle Mage Angelina. All Weapon Master Casis. And Vulcan''s disciple and cksmith master Nayatongson. An evil yer who does all kinds of shit in Arcadia and gives the management team chronic headaches. The three musketeers that will increase its notoriety by making the word bnce dungmangem pop out of all users. Chapter 84 Chapter 84 I want to be a streamer too (1) Arcadia''s superrgemunity, Arfandia. As Arcadia, a virtual reality service, gradually expanded its service around the world, the number of daily visitors to Arpandia also began to explode day by day. - Special news. Arcadia subscribers break 1 billion. Achieved real-time ess rate of 200 million. phenomenal pleasure. - Let alone the game and PC markets. The birth of the virtual reality industry and the changing society. -Virtual reality content market creating enormous added value. The real value of 100 trillion dors. The virtual reality industry itself was born and gradually entered a period of revival, and the situation began to increase in size faster than ever. As a result, many people began to benefit from the growth of virtual reality. And Argos, a giant ITpany that actually supports Arcadia''s services, was also supporting the growth of the industry and giving it a firm backing. [The world we live in now ispletely different from the past. The realm of creation is freely open to all the public, not just a few. We, Argos, will spare no support so that you can spread your work to the world so that all of you can burn such passion for creation.] In fact, Argos coborated with Arcadia Co., Ltd. to y video of itself in real time . It was active enough to build and apply a system that could be transmitted to the Inte while streaming and a dialogue system that could check the reaction of viewers watching the video in the game. And the changes that followed began to appear immediately and visibly. [This month''s video ad ie is verified.] One post posted anonymously. In that posting, only a picture of a piece of paper was posted, and the content was nothing other than a statement of ie from advertisements attached to the video. Final settlement: $1230000 Paper with $1.23 million stamped on it. Not long after the post was posted, thement section started to re up. -Wow, awesome. Video revenue is crazy. -what? Do you earn that much from posting videos? -Not 1.23 million won, but 1.23 million dors? Aren''t you crazy? -DDDD..... This person lives in an apartment a month. Videos uploaded to Arpendia. The amount of money earned through a system that can generate ie by attaching advertisements when certain conditions are met is beyond imagination. And the cause was the foreigners who started pouring in from various countries that started the service. -OMG. I love your video. - ֧ߧէ!! This ܧӧ֧ ѧܧ ݧاߧ. -. - This means that it is effective. In the past, only Korean or North American users could ess and enjoy Arpandia videos. However, recently, China with 1.3 billion people, India with 1.1 billion people, and Japan and other European countries where 80% of the people y Arcadia. As countries with poptions of unprecedented scale began to step into Arcadia''s services, the economies of scale began to grow enormously iparable to before. -Why are the number of views so high these days? -In order to be featured as a popr video, the video must exceed 100 million views within a week. -It''s because there are a lot of foreigners. In particr, the firepower of Chinese and Japanese users is no joke. -It''s nice to have more views, but it''s getting messy when there are a lot ofments from foreigners in thement window. In the past, even if the number of views increased by 1 million, it was exposed as a popr video on the main banner of the site, but recently the number of views on the main page has increased unbelievably. -Number of views: 128,122,321 times. -Number of views: 112,329,891 times. -Number of views: 92.1 million 2312 times. ...Basically, a hurdle that has be so high that it can be said that it is at the top only when it gets around 100 million views. In a situation where everyone was uploading a video, no matter how much effort they made, it was often buried in the blink of an eye. Arpandia has created a wall that no one dares to challenge except those who have already preupied and umted a lot of subscribers and awareness. But even so, many people were knocking on that huge wall and challenging themselves. They show their y in their own way. Hello viewers! This is BJ Younghee. The content I''m going to do today is Hapbang content! I''m going to hunt slime with Bruce, the 34th ranked warrior, and a low-level user! Younghee is gradually forming a fan base with her pretty looks and cute reactions. Outwardly, she gives off the impression of a little girl. However, she was a high-level user who had reached level 100 unexpectedly. -Isn''t slime a bit Eva? -It wouldn''t be the slime from when you were a beginner...? -Even though it''s level 80... Can two people survive that group of daguri? -If you meet a king slime unluckily, you will be crushed immediately. Because I wasn''t made to catch that bastard. Viewers roaringly leavements on her presentation of video content. However, Younghee did not give in to their words and spoke confidently. joy. I am a woman who would do it again. And if you go with Bruce, there won''t be any big problems! Yes? Young-hee proudly says slime is not a problem. In response to her question, Bruce also nodded as if there was no problem. sure. They''re like slimes. I can catch enough of them by myself. ha ha ha. -Didn''t you kill the user you took with you a few days ago and run away? - Ha ha ha ha That''s right. I left him among the spiders and ran away. -Why are you watching it because it''s fun? - Well, it''s fun to y with such baseless confidence. Viewersmenting on the painful failure of thest time. In fact, this video was no different from the second content to make up for the previous disgrace, so Young-hee even blushed and dered. Hey hey! It will be different this time. Last time, I did it because I ignored the characteristics of the spider cave too much, and I thoroughly prepared for the slimes. That''s why I''m taking Bruce-sama with me too... trudged. The moment when Younghee makes an excuse that is not an excuse to the viewers. Someone appeared walking towards the corner of the street where she and Bruce had been standing. -appear. today''s scapegoat. - Doo! Who will be our main character who will be abandoned by the slime...? - I am convinced that these children will fail and be abandoned. Ha ha ha ha Young Hee, who instantly scanned that he was an extremely ordinary-looking user wearing an ordinary adventure hoodie, stopped him with a nonchnt look on his face. Hey there! hello? stop. The user stopped walking at her greeting. Seeing him turn around and stare at her with a puzzled look on his face, as if asking what he was doing, Yo?ng-hu?i asked seductively, shaking her body gently. If I''m not busy... -That came out again. wagging tail pretending to be cute. - Totally a gumiho, a gumiho. There was no tail. -E Skill refrain. Young-hee, who raised her curiosity as much as possible by making a shy gesture as if a girlfriend was confessing to her boyfriend, asked him. Would you like to grab some slime with us? -lol. Slime misceneous goods in a situation where even eating ramen seems to be insufficient. -That''ll really hit the target. - How would it feel if a girl I had a flirt with had slime instead of ramen? However, Younghee and the viewers did not know. The fact that the target she stopped and asked to go catch the slime was the only human who ate the slime as friends. * * * Would you like to grab some slime with me? A female user who suddenly calls out and makes an absurd proposal out of the blue. As Jaeyoung stood still, lost in her absurdity, Tan looked at her with strange eyes and asked. What is that man with the screw missing? A female user who just came in without blinking and wanted to go catch slime together. The moment when Jae-young tries to lighten her guard at the sound of a person with no connection asking to hunt together. Perhaps noticing that, she said to Jaeyoung with a smile on her face. Oh, I''m not that weird. do not misunderstand. I am doing broadcast video content. That''s because I''m going to take a low-level user to catch slime. That''s why I asked, so don''t think too strangely. Young-hee says that she is filming a broadcast. Jaeyoung, who quickly nced at the item she was wearing, muttered in a nonchnt voice. Catching the slime... it looks a bit difficult with two people, right? After the incident that happened in the beginner vige in the past. Slimes adjusted to level 80. However, unlike the level, it was almost impossible for users of the same level to hunt slime. Kwuuuuuuuu! Kwuuuuu! Kyuwoo! A unique characteristic of slimes is kinship consciousness. When one slime is attacked, dozens or hundreds of slimes gather around it at the same time and attack the target who attacked theirrades at the same time. There was no Do not worry. I am also a level 100 mage user, and this person here is... a level 134 ranker. Nice to meet you. My name is Bruce. The man waved at Younghee''s introduction and smiled friendly. Judging from the equipment he is wearing, he looks like a warrior. And Jaeyoung tilted his head with a strange expression on his face. That''s why it looks difficult...?'' Slimes with exceptionally high resistance to physical attacks. In order to catch them properly, it must be a party full of wizards who can explosively deal magic damage in a short time, but Jaeyoung couldn''t understand what he was trying to do with one warrior and one wizard. yes? We''ll get you on the right bus. let''s go together. yes? Young-hee persuades Jae-young over and over again with a charming voice with a strange nasal voice. I didn''t like her reaction, but Jaeyoung nodded and said. great. really? Wow! thank you! When Jae-young epts her offer, Young-hee is delighted. However, seeing Jaeyoung like that, Tan and L said a word one by one with expressions that they couldn''t understand. ...is the owner insane? That sounds like an unwise choice. As a guardian angel, my advice is to stay away from people like that. The two of them smell like they''re up to something. It was still difficult to determine whether the screw was just loosened or if there was a hidden intention, so Tan and L talked with suspicious eyes, but Jaeyoung said it was not a big deal. I know that. But why...? Jae-young epted the offer knowingly. Tan looked at him with eyes that could not understand him. just....? Its been a while since I checked how the slimes are doing, and there are some things to check their performance. Jaeyoung smiles strangely and taps the ball with his finger. He asked in a lively voice if Young-hee was excited. Could you tell me your ID? I''ll send you an invite! To that, Jaeyoung replied with a strange smile. Choco Pie Joe. Heh... thats a unique ID. I''ll send you an invite! [Wizard Younghee invited you to the party. Would you like to ept this? Y/N] Choco Pie Joe. It was the ID of one of the unknown beginners that Jae-young, who was obviously unknown, killed in the past, but a system window asking him to ept the party appeared in front of Jae-young. And Jaeyoung epted the message and confirmed that the two of them had a normal party rtionship. Choco Pie, would you like to leave immediately? I see... After confirming that the party was held, Bruce and Younghee set out on the road without any doubt. Behind them, Jaeyoung smiled at the fact that his experiment worked as expected. Mythical level item Deceiver''s Mask. It was not simply the level of changing the appearance of another person. It was a fraudulent item that could hide user information registered in the Arcadia system and disguise itself as apletely different person. Chapter 85 Chapter 85 I Want to Be a Streamer (2) Younghee and Bruce. Even on the way to the slime hunting ground, the two continued to exchange jokes without a break. From personal interviews to tricks like jokes and personal y tips. Although the subject of the conversation continued to change, the purpose of the story did not change much. ha ha ha. That''s how I sessfully cleared the dungeon and ended up eating this rare item... Arge shield that looked like it was made of monster bones. Bruce''s face was full of pride as he tapped his shield with his hand, probably because he had good performance. Wow... its amazing as expected! As expected, the rankers are different! Ah no. There are many people who are stronger than me. That''s about as far as the name is known. And maybe my reputation is lower than Younghees? Oh no. How many viewers do I have? Do you see about 4,000 people now? 500,000 subscribers. Younghee''s channel is running towards 5,000 real-time viewers. Ah, thats a lot. Besides, if you have Younghee-nims looks, wouldnt you end up filming a CF at all? Eh, that cant be. No really. Didn''t they say praise makes whales dance? The two of them are trembling with humility, subtly showing off each other as if they had matched their words. Seeing them cheering each other up and raising their thumbs, Tan eximed as if he could not stand it. Ah-oh! Master, what the hell are these bitches doing? Can''t I just kill him? what? Why are you having seizures again? Arent you upset when you see that situation? There was a frenzy of sucking and biting each other, saying that they were not good at each other, and that they were not at the level of monsters that were rolling around on the floor. From Tan''s point of view, they were not even as bad as the ws. However, watching themugh and pretend to be proud of each other, they reacted violently as if hives broke out all over their bodies. master! Can''t we just kill them? huh? You did a lot before, right? But Jaeyoung didn''t even respond to Tan''s words. I just keep my mouth shut and follow the two of them. ah. I''m sorry Choco Pie, we only talked about things that were too personal. no. You can just keep talking. Young-hee notices that Jae-young is not talking about anything. She smiled and talked to him, but Jaeyoung hit the iron wall with a stiff face. Uh... have you ever caught a slime, Choco Pie? Your level is... 52? As if embarrassed by the cold reaction she had never experienced before, Younghee quickly changed the topic of conversation, but after grasping Jaeyoungs level from the details of the party members, she said with a strange expression. Why is that? No... nothing. Saying that, Young-hee smiled broadly and changed the topic to another story. However, Jae-young clearly saw the emotion that was revealed in the moment on her expression as she passed by. A smile as if everything went ording to n. * * * It wouldn''t be bad if the level was 52.....'' Young-hee uploads videos with various contents on Arfandia. She was caught in an unintended controversy because of the video content she recently filmed, and was in a difficult position in many ways. [Aaaaaaa! Help me.] [Kyaaaaaaa! I''m sorry!] Content that hunts high-level monsters with users I met along the way. At that time, Young-hee took a clumsy beginner user who didn''t know anything and went to the spider cave to hunt. And there, I unexpectedly met the boss monster giant queen spider. When a powerful enemy appeared that she could never match, she unknowingly made the novice user who had followed her as a scapegoat and ran away. - Wow..... This is a bit. -Actually, I needed a bait to buy me time to escape while hunting. - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Is it true that you throw it away and immediately show off? - Even Satan admits to ying bad manners. An act done instinctively without knowing it. However, since all of them were revealed to viewers in real time, Young-hee''s image was seriously damaged. To the extent that the management, who was in contact behind the scenes to sign a contract with him, expressed concern. It is difficult for the image to be damaged in this way right before the contract. If Younghee bes a member of our agency, her image will be the image of our GM Entertainment''. If we cannot restore the image that has been lost due to this incident, it seems that it may be difficult for the agency to proceed with the contract further than this. The GM Group has recently shown a lot of interest in Arcadia and is expanding rted businesses like octopus feet. In particr, while handling video editing, copyright issues, and misceneous issues, GM Entertainment invested a huge amount of money to recruit famous rankers or users with excellent growth potential by offering a down payment. Young-hee was also on the GM Group recruiting list. He was on the verge of signing the contract after epting a huge down payment, but he was in a situation where everything would go to waste because of a shy incident. Then what should I do...? Young-hee was in tears when she heard that the contract might be canceled. An employee of the agency made a suggestion to him. There is an image restoration n we have in mind... but would you like to hear it? really? how....? First of all... The method suggested by the agency. It was to create a situation simr to that time. So... this time, you want to take a simrly clumsy-looking user and create a situation where he is in danger of dying while hunting? Yes. Instead, unlike before, take responsibility until the end, protect the user, and make a video in a way that sessfully finishes the hunt. Viewers dissatisfaction will subside considerably when they see Younghees changed appearance from before, and her image will also recover. At the same time, the agency employee took out a piece of paper for her. This is the scenario we envisioned. Please familiarize yourself with it as much as possible and move simrly. A meticulously nned script. Variousments and situations were written in it, but Young-hee was surprised to find out where she was going to hunt. A slime habitat...? I can''t do it alone here! A hunting ground slime habitat with a rmended level of 80-110. This ce was absolutely impossible to attack with a small number of parties because all the slimes around it would flock to attack when you started hunting. Moreover, Young-hee has just passed level 100. He was reluctant because he didn''t have enough ability to deal with the slime group easily, but the agency staff talked about it as if it was okay. Oh, dont worry about that part. I''m going to attach one of our people to the video we''re going to shoot this time. If you go on a broadcast with him, it will go as nned without any major problems. Bruce, ranked 34th by GM Entertainment. Moving along with him ording to the thoroughly nned script, Younghee nced at the user who was following indifferently from behind with strange eyes. ..... A user who does not know what he is thinking. No matter how much he spoke to them, he responded with a short answer and was defending himself, so no matter how hard Younghee tried, she couldn''t pull out the amount of broadcasting. Haa... why are there people like that?'' Choco Pie Joa doesn''t even show a hint of showmanship. After several attempts to be intimate, Yo?ng-hu?i gave up talking to him. After all, I will never see you again. Kwauuuung. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuu! Kyaew kyaew! An area that used to be a vige for beginners before you know it. The three of them arrived at the ce, which has now be a habitat full of slimes. Ah, there are so many slimes. After... It''s annoying.'' If I shoot this video properly... I can seed too.'' They''re still cute, then and now.'' The party fell into silence for a moment in their own thoughts. And it was Yo?ng-hu?i who broke the brief silence. Hmmmm... Come on! So, shall we start in earnest from now on? Slime hunting with Bruce, who is ranked 34th, and Choco Paijoa, who is level 52! Let''s get started! With a lively voice, Young-hee took her first step into the slime habitat. Without even imagining what would happen in the future. * * * Slime. A greenish monster with a slippery, jelly-like appearance. Despite being a monster, he was the most loved and well-known guy in Arcadia. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. A cute crying sound that jumps around with bright eyes. In the past, there were times when beginners were neighborhood drummers, but now slimes are reigning as Arcadia''s top-notch monsters as strong yers that no user can easily deal with. Choco Pie is dangerous! Fire Buster! Wow. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. A me attribute magic cast by Younghee. As if they couldn''t withstand the power of the 4th circle magic, the six slimes, swept away by the magic, made a pitiful noise and fell down in gray. [Experience level has risen.] [Item slime drops have been acquired] Haa... haa..... Young-hee sat down on the floor and exhaled heavily as she inhaled the mana potion. . However, despite her struggles, there were countless slimes running around the three of them. Toong Toong. Kwuuu! Kyakywa! Kwuuuuuuu! Slimes approaching with strange cries as if saying, I will not forgive the viins who killed my preciousrades!'' Seeing that, Yo?ng-hu?i shouted at Bruce with a disgusted face. Im going to rest for a while... because my mana isnt recovering... Dont worry. This is enough for me alone. spam. Kwuuuuuuuu ..... Level 130 Bruce. Decorated with expensive rare items, his ability was strong enough to handle dozens of slimes without any burden. So, while he was dragging aggro, Younghee could concentrate on recovering mana without any burden. Choco Pie, dont go anywhere and stay close to me. A resolute face full of determination, as if it would protect you unconditionally no matter what danger mighte your way. At her words, Jaeyoung was so absurd that he couldn''t respond. And she kept directing the appearance of protecting Jaeyoung until the end, killing the slimes that approached them one or two at a time. -Wow, is a ranker a ranker? - Even though 20 slimes attack as a group, their stamina doesn''t drop very much . -Younghee doesn''t run away this time and fights well. -I know. It''s definitely different fromst time. -lol. I must have reflected on it because I was cursed at so much. Viewers pouring out positive reactions. In response to their reaction, Yo?ng-hu?i shouted with pleasure inside. done! Sess! sess!'' Bruce offsets the damage with a shield at each slime attack timing, stabs a vital spot with a sword, and calmly removes the slimes one by one. And whenever the slimes he missede to attack Jae-young, Young-hee assists him by blowing magic. Seeing this, Tan said with a sullen face. This is just that. what....? Are you asking because you dont know? You keep deliberately driving the slimes towards their owners and pretending to protect them. Theyre doing this to campaign for their superiority by taking people who are uglier than themselves. okay....? It''s a situation where I''m slowly getting that kind of feeling. Jaeyoung also felt that the two of them yed drums and janggu and did everything together, treating him like a folding screen without saying anything even if he just stood there without asking for anything from him. It''s like human nature to take rtively ugly kids with you to highlight that you''re handsome and pretty. Convinced that he was being treated as a hogu and being used, Jaeyoung''s head began to spin rapidly. how will we do it....? what? Jae-young, who was certain that the situation was not exactly clear, but that the situation was being created and used in their broadcast somehow, decided not to dance to the rhythm of the two. And at that moment, various ns to feed the people who pass through Jae-young''s head. Tan and El. Why do you call the owner? Why is that? Jaeyoung said while looking at the two curious faces. From now on, even if I say something strange by myself, dont think Im crazy, just ignore it. What are you talking about....? Young-hee smiles and says something as ifmunicating with the viewers. Seeing her like that, Jae-young smiles wickedly and says, At this point, I also want to film a video properly. Chapter 86 Chapter 86 I want to be a streamer too (3) Arfandia uploads tens of millions of new videos every day. However, most of those videos were crude because they were just uploaded as a hobby or for self-satisfaction. Compared to that, the videos used to generate profits with professional entertainment often showed a different level of quality. - The first reveal of the quest hidden in the Ivory Mage Tower. - 10 tips for defeating the sticky swamp boss. - A rare duel between the 21st and 22nd ranked characters? Videos that have been edited not only for their visual effects, but also for the most dramatic scenes. Even in certain situations, a nner or a screenwriter separately prepared the video to the point of discussing and discussing each line. -It''s possible to hunt slime with three people. -Hey, strictly speaking, there are two of them. one didn''t do anything -is it? lol. What would a level 52 person actually do? I just got it. -But strangely, how does he never level up? If you rode the bus like this, you have to go up at least 2 levels? Even if they received an experience point penalty due tock of contribution, considering the hundreds of slimes caught due to therge level difference, the situation should have risen by at least one level. However, Jaeyoung''s level remained at 52. Choco Pie, what percentage of experience do you have? As if conscious of the viewers'' reaction, Young-hee looked at Jae-young with a puzzled look and asked. However, the level system itself has been deleted. Because the level on the outside belonged to a user Jaeyoung borrowed for a while, there was no way he could level up no matter how many experience points he gained. Experience? Why? No... I dont think hes leveling up even though hes been hunting for quite a while... To that, Jaeyoung replied calmly as if it was nothing special. Its probably because it hasnt been long since I leveled up. Oh, thats right. Then maybe..... But are you going to keep catching slime? yes....? Jaeyoung interrupts himself and asks a question. At his question, Yo?ng-hu?i asked with a puzzled expression. No, it doesn''t seem like there''s a lot of experience gained from catching slimes either from the fighters over there or from that side. Ah... thats... In fact, the slime hunting ground wasnt a very efficient hunting ground. At the same level, slimes with a habit of forming groups were dangerous, but when they reached a level where they could stably hunt, there was a penalty for learning experience due to the difference in level. So it was rare to hunt here for a long time unless you were gathering rted quests or necessary materials. Is there any need to continue hunting here? To Jaeyoung''s question, Younghee hesitated, not knowing what to answer. I received a n from GM Entertainment to hunt in the slime habitat, and I am filming a video after carefully preparing and nning various things in advance. Young-hee had no choice but to hand over the initiative to Jae-young because she couldn''t tell the story in detail. Lets go to a slightly higher level than here. A high level...? At that, Jaeyoung pointed his finger in the direction of one side of the slime habitat and said. The orc colony. Wouldnt that be just right? Oh, a colony of orcs? Young-hee and Bruce can''t hide their embarrassment at Jae-young''s words. That would also be true, the Orc colony was the highest level hunting ground, iparable to the slime hunting ground they were in now. Orc corpsmanders, wolf riders, shamans and warriors are different from the small groups of orcs that roam here and there. Even the orc colony was a ce equipped with the appearance of a well-refined army equipped with ranged power such as spearmen and siege weapons. In fact, a ce where tens of thousands of orcs can prepare for battle in perfect order ording to a kind ofmand system. That''s why asking only three people to invade the ce was the same as saying that I wanted to die. -??? An orc colony? -Looks like he lost his temper after seeing him catch the slime. -lol. You''re level 52, aren''t you still ignorant of the world? -Don''t ignore it because it''s an orc. profit profit. -There are many ways tomit suicide these days, but this is the first time I''ve seen it. Even the viewersughed at it and leftments saying it was impossible. While Young-hee was also contemting how to politely decline this, Bruce spoke to Jae-young first. I guess you don''t know because your level is still low... The Orc colony ispletely different from here. It is a ce that cannot be attacked even if hundreds of well-prepared rankers gather and challenge. It is a level where more than tens of thousands of troops must be put in. Bruce talks as if he is going to teach an ignorant child a harsh life. But Jaeyoung smiled at him. Why are you not confident? At that moment, Younghee and Bruce''s faces subtly changed. Like why? scared? If you''re scared, you''ll die.'' However, after exchanging nces for a while, Bruce and Younghee responded calmly. First of all, the content we are doing right now is slime hunting, so the orc colony willeter... Why are we so close? Please tell me clearly. Would you like to go with me to the orc colony or just catch slimes here? Jae-young tells him to choose an alternative right now. At that, Bruce listened silently and asked Jaeyoung with an absurd expression. Wait... that sounds like you''re saying that even if we refuse, you''re going to hunt in the orc colony by yourself right now? yes. why? ..... Choco Paijoa, a level 52 warrior. His words that he would single-handedly attack the orc colony, where the minimum level is 100 and the rmended level is 130, made Bruce and Younghee, as well as the viewers who were watching all of this, bewildered. -....and. Was that sincere? -Are you just crazy? -lol. content of death. Younghee! Let''s go and see it!! He didn''t lift a finger while hunting slimes. But suddenly, seeing the sincere talk of moving the hunting ground to an orc colony that is at least twice as difficult as the slime habitat, I was engulfed in thought about what to do. What is it..... Why are you so confident...?'' No matter how hard they tried, it was obvious that if the three of them went to the orc colony right now, they would die without being able to collect even the bones. In that case, it would be obvious that there would be restrictions on ess as well as penalties on experience and skill proficiency, but I thought deeply about whether it would be beneficial to risk death just to shoot a provocative video. If I were alone, I would have followed him...'' The purpose of this video was not to turn off aggro, but to restore the image that had fallen due to the previous incident. That''s why Young-hee didn''t want to go on another adventure when she had already achieved her intended purpose. In particr, this content was not only for her alone, but also for the ranker given by her agency, so she rejected Jae-young''s offer with a sad expression. sorry. We stillck a lot to go there... I think we should decline that offer. Young-hee refuses Jae-young''s proposal with her head bowed with a very sad expression. However, as if he had expected her rejection, Jaeyoung''s expression did not change at all. Rather, those who were watching the video reacted more strongly to her rejection. -Oh no jam. Are you rejecting this here? -I''m going to go with safety bread. At least you should go along and show them how it goes. -under. disappointed. So today''s video is just grabbing the slime and it''s over? -Is it okay if I just bring a ranker and hunt hahahoho? - Woo woo woo!! Our Younghee is really clueless. Don''t you know the atmosphere where you can''t refuse? Viewers who have been waiting for her to do something ridiculous because she is not the one who dies anyway. That''s why I booed Young-hee for making a safe choice. Come on, viewers. I do quite a few missions, but to be honest, I dont go to ces where I die unconditionally. Young-hee soothes the viewers with a smiley face and a voice full of charm. And then a message popped up in front of her. [yer Choco Paijoa'' has left the party.] Choco Paijoa has left the party. He clicked his tongue in regret and looked at the two of them. Well... I didn''t expect that much, but it''s a pity. I''ll be gone then. Ah yes. Thank you for your cooperation in filming the video. Go carefully. He wants to leave the slime habitat. Yo?ng-hu?i bowed with a regretful expression until the end and smiled brightly. And just as Young-hee turned her head away from him, she heard Jae-young''s voice behind her. Ah, if you are curious about what is happening in the orc colony, please visit my channel. I just turned on the live broadcast too. -??? -what? -what? Was he a streamer too? A streaming service that can be used only when a certain level of subscribers and viewers are secured. The meaning of live broadcasting meant that he professionally uploaded a video and secured the minimum standard. At those words, Young-hee opened her eyes and turned around. He stood in front of her with a wicked grin. The name of my channel is... daily life of a destroyer. -Destroyer''s daily life...? Where did you hear that name? -Still, that''s...? Destroyer''s routine. Unlike other channels, this channel has only 2 videos uploaded. However, the ripple effect of those two videos was stronger than any other channel, so it was one of the famous channels that most of Arfandia''s viewers know about. - It''s real!!!! It''s a real live broadcast! -Crazy Choco Pie was the destroyer? -oh my god! You''re only level 52? At that moment,ments started pouring in like crazy on Younghee''s channel. Thement section became a mess as if a bomb had fallen. When thements started pouring in to the point that they were buried before she could even read them, Young-hee was taken aback and didn''t know what to do. - Hey, I''m going. - I''m going to see the destroyer too. - It must be much more fun than a no-jam broadcast where you work hard and catch slime. Viewers leaving her broadcast saying one word at a time. There were more than 5,000 viewers just a moment ago, but to my surprise, the number was reduced to single digits, as if the server went down in an instant. -Current number of viewers: 6 people When Young-hee nkly looks at Jae-young in a situation as if she is dreaming. Jaeyoung was preupied with the streaming system he opened for the first time and the viewers who flocked to it and made a fuss. - Paha. - Paha. -I watched your video well. Is it really possible to hunt in an orc colony? - You''re level 52, aren''t you killed as soon as you go? A deration that he would attack hunting grounds that even high-level rankers would not dare to touch. Younghee''s viewers, who were drawn to that deration, continued to ask questions in disbelief. And in response to the viewers'' questions, Jaeyoung said as if it were natural. Why am I catching them? -??? - I heard you catch it. Viewers are perplexed by Jaeyoung''s sudden change of attitude. Jaeyoung said to them with an evil smile. Even if it''s not me, these guys will organize it for me. - These guys? -Don''t go round and round and tell the story properly. - What the hell are you talking about? At that moment, Jaeyoung took out the title he had previously acquired. [The title Savior of Slimes'' is equipped.] [The effect of the title is activated.] The Savior of Slimes. Slimes who suffered from being massacred by humans in the beginner vige in the past. When he equipped them with the title he had obtained by giving them strength to bring them true peace, all the slimes in the slime habitat that recognized him began to gather. Kwuuuuuuu! Kuuuuuu! Kwyang! Kwyang! The slimes bouncing around as if meeting old friends. Watching them scramble around Jaeyoung, as if asking to be touched at least once, the viewers, as well as Younghee and Bruce, froze with their mouths open in astonishment. [King Slime, the ruler of slimes, appears. ] Kwaaang. And to the fact that Jaeyoung has returned, even the king slime that appeared with a huge body somewhere. At the ce where all the slimes were gathered, Jaeyoung said with a deep smile. Its been a while, kids. How are you? Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The slimes howled all at once as if they were answering his question. Looking at them like that, Jaeyoung cried softly. If everyone is gathered, lets go and punish the orcs. Chapter 87 Chapter 87 I want to be a streamer too (4) Daily life of a destroyer. There are only two videos uploaded to this channel. A strategy video that says you can make a lot of money through mining. A revealing video about the conspiracy plotted by the GM. However, both of those videos brought huge issues in Arcadia and in reality, so his channel was firmly embedded in the minds of many users. -You bastard, I became a ve in the mine because of you. take responsibility - I won''t say anything, so tell me honestly. I ate money from Baron Mikhail. right? -lol. It''s a video that totally sucks for beginners who don''t know how to do it. Of course, most of thements were swearing or cursing because of the people who got fucked with the first video, but thanks to the second video, reporters and other people asionally snooped around to see if new videos were uploaded. And the first real-time streaming broadcast on his channel. Those who clicked the video once out of curiosity shouted in astonishment. crazy....? what''s this....? [Kwuuuuuu! Kwong!] Slimes with bright eyes and cute cries. They were running around, but what was surprising was the size. [Kwuuuuuuuuu!] Slimes filled the slime habitat. The huge in that easily amodated tens of thousands of beginners in the past waspletely filled with slimes. It was as if all the slimes in the world were gathered together, and the scale was unimaginable. -??? -What''s the situation now? Those who identally came across Jaeyoung''s video after a notification popped up. As soon as they entered, they were fascinated by the size of the slime and asked, but the real-time chat window was already in a fight with users who were watching all of this. -crazy? A savior of slimes? How the hell did you get that title? -Wait a minute, that''s the one you''re leading the slimes right now, right? -Even King Slime appeared. What is this? Why are the slimes acting cute! -Is that possible? No, he said his job was a warrior! Viewers who watched Younghee''s streaming broadcast were curious. Knowing all the context, they were astonished at the reaction of the slimes who suddenly changed, and fell into a panic when they realized what Jae-young was trying to do. -Could it be that what you said earlier is really...? -Now wait a minute. Is that possible? Are you really taking those slimes...? -hey? guys? Please exin..... What''s the situation? Thement window became a mess with existing viewers who were in panic and new viewers who were less aware of the situation. At that moment, Jaeyoung''s yful voice was heard. [Let''s go when we''re all gathered, to punish the orcs.] [Kwuuuuuuuuuu!] The slimes roared all at once at Jaeyoung''s words and started moving somewhere. The ce they were heading to was the colony of Orcs right next to the Slimes'' territory. [Chwii profit. Chwiik. Get rid of the slimes. This is our territory.....] [Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!] [Kwaaaaaaaaang.] A wooden fence made of huge trees. A sentry standing above them gave a sullen warning as several slimes began to approach, but what flew over their heads was the giant body of the king slime. [Chwi chwii profit! What is it?] An orc colony that was on the same border as the slime habitat. So, several times a day, there would be shes with slimes that had escaped from the group. However, King Slime, the lord of slimes, has the strongest instinct to protect the territory. Since he had never appeared before, the orcs froze with their mouths wide open when he shattered the barriers of the orc colony with a single blow with his massive body. [Kyungwoon! Kwuu!] [Kwuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!] King Slime roared and an immeasurable amount of slimes trying to enter the Orc colony. At that moment, the Orcs also realized. Now, this situation is not a small-scale sh that happens on a daily basis, but a full-scale slime offensive that started as a surprise. [Chwiiik! emergency! Emergency!] [Attack! Chwiik! Everyone ready for battle!] [Slimes... Chwiik! Acquire! They attack us!] The Orcs figured out the situation only after the fence was broken, and were confused. The moment when the majestic bass sound of the horn announcing an emergency resonated and the orcs began to move busily. Viewers who were watching the video nkly in real time heard it clearly. Choco Pie Joe, no, Jae-young''s evil voice. [Let''s go, kids. To eat the ground.] [Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!] It started like that with the roar of the king slime. The slime''s first territory expansion war that will lead to the revival of the slime race. * * * Younghee and Bruce. The two watched as if they couldn''t believe the scene unfolding vividly in front of their eyes. Kwuuuuuuu! The slimes they were hunting until just now. The scene where they all gathered in one ord and attacked the orc colony in the next town in perfect order. What the hell is this... It''s so absurd that it''s hard to believe it''s real. However, the number of viewers watching Young-hee''s live broadcast was not a lie. -Current number of viewers: 0 zero. In other words, bread. In a situation where the number of viewers who had fallen due to the previous ident had almost recovered, all of the viewers left without a chance to do anything. To that madman who invaded the orc colony with the slimes. How do you beat this... It was as if all the viewers were taken away in an instant. But she felt no resentment or resentment at all. So far, Young-hee has attracted many viewers by winning the favor of many with her cute charm and good looks that are not bad even from an objective point of view. But to be honest, the content of the videos she shoots were not that interesting or fun. In other words, it''s such a video that you can''t stop watching. However, the video that Choco Piejoa is showing to people is different. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Tucan. Kwak Kwa Kwam. Chwiiik.... Is the corpsmander still here! Chuiiik! Stop! No more slimes cane in! Kwuuuung! Kyuwoo! The orcs rushed into the breached barrier and tried to re-establish the defense line. And the slimes trying to break through the defense line and the king slime making an earthquake with a heavy body. The fierce territorial battle between the two races, which had never been seen before, was such an interesting video that I couldn''t overlook it. And just like her thoughts, the reaction of people watching Jaeyoung''s video was explosive. -lol. Look how embarrassed the orcs are. -Don''t the slimes look like old slimes? Look at how hard the orcs get scolded. - Just like the beginner vige was destroyed, the orc colony is also destroyed? - Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. It''s not slime, it''s just Sulgiskan. -I felt sorry for the slimes in the past... but now I feel more pity for the orcs. A slime with a cute and shiny appearance. As the weakest of Arcadia, those who evoke sympathy are going somewhere, and the slimes are pushing away the colony of orcs with their tactics. Their army was huge enough to remind us of the Mongol Empire that conquered the Eurasian continent. Chwi chwii profit! What are you doing now! The appearance of the Orc Corps Commander and the elite Wolf Riders led by him. However, his face was full of embarrassment, probably because he was not prepared for the sudden surprise attack. -Boss mobs appear. He is themander of the Orc Corps. - You seem to be very perplexed? Look at that fucking face. -lol. Aren''t the Orc Corps Commanders level 130? It''s a named monster, but it''s not very dignified. - Fuck. Meet the Orc Corps Commander as usual. tired of the force Orcs are ssified as stupid monsters with excellent physical abilities but rtively low intelligence. But the Orc corpsmander was different. It was a named monster that couldmand tens of thousands of Orcs with excellent resourcefulness and judgment along with outstanding physical abilities. And it was hard to see such an orc corpsmander embarrassed. Chuiiik! Slimes, now you are proud... Chwii Ik! You have invaded the colony of the Skymaul tribe. If you don''t back down now, you will pay the price! Chwiik! Get out of here! Slimes rushing into the colony and fighting fierce battles with the Orcs. The slimes stopped attacking at the words of the Orc corpsmander and all turned their bright eyes to the king slime. What? Slime''s distinctive, cute crying sound of unknown meaning. However, the cry sounded different to the viewers. What should I do, brother? Do you want to see it just once?'' -LOL. I only ask for one coin. -I can''t stand that. It''s just bluffing. -You''re not going to back down like this, are you? At first nce, the Orc corpsmander seemed to be trying to buy time to regroup. In fact, while he was talking to the slimes in a loud voice, countless orcs were busy preparing something in the back of the colony. Chuiiik! Lord of slimes, it is advantageous to attack us now! Is it because of territorial disputes? Of course, it''s true that we attacked the slimes approaching us first, but Chwiik! An entire race shouldn''t have to bleed for such a trivial thing! Even now, Chwiiik ..... The Orc Corps Commander tries to negotiate with the King Slime. He tried to convince the king slime with all kinds of rhetoric, but the king slime just looked up and asked with his bright eyes. What? King slime as if asking what to do. At that moment, the Orc Corpsmander saw it. A crown on top of King Slime''s head. And a single human standing leaning obliquely next to it. Chwiiik... human...? The face of the Orc corpsmander who found Jaeyoung was full of confusion. The slimes who won their territory and freedom in a fierce battle with humans. That''s why the slimes hated humans because of their bad rtionship in the past. To the extent that humans who enter their habitat will attack first. Kwauuuung-. However, a human standing leisurely on top of the King Slime''s head. The Orc Corps Commander looked at the King Slime''s actions as if he were asking for permission while sending affectionate eyes, and realized that that human was the culprit behind the slime''s strange behavior. This human! Could it be that the slimes are doing this...? Chwii profit! Humans, a race that can never harmonize with Orcs. A greedy tribe that upies most of the vast continent of Arcadia, but is always trying to upy even the territory of the Orcs. The Orc Corpsmander realized that such a greedy human being was with King Slime, the ruler of slimes. It is said that humans have finally revealed their ambitions. Humans! Acquire! You guys finally showed your true colors! Chwii profit! They even use slimes to try to steal our territory! Do you think you guys will be all right! The Orc corpsmander seems to havee to a strange conclusion on his own. At his words, Jaeyoung said with a sour expression on his face. What is that orc saying over there? I dont know. Don''t you just say that you''ve invaded your territory? What kind of true color did he show? Look at this, master, I''m not an orc, how can I understand what he''s saying? Yeah... thats right... Jaeyoung licked his lips at Tans words, which seemed absurd. And he smiled as he looked at the reactions of the viewers pouring into the chat window. -Corsair! Corsair! -Slimes, destroy the Orc colony just like you destroyed the beginner vige. -lol. The real slimes are the strongest in the world. -King-God-Slime appears. I felt the intense desire of the viewers to destroy the colony of orcs, perhaps because of what they had suffered. And Jaeyoung spoke to King Slime with everyone''s wishes. Power advance. Lets push them all away. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Kwuuuuuu! Kwuuuuuuu! That''s how the Orcs lost their ground overnight. They couldn''t ovee the sudden invasion of slimes. Chapter 88 Chapter 88 I Want to Be a Streamer (5) A fierce battle broke out between slimes and orcs. Under themand of the Orc Corps Commander, the Orc troops tried their best to defend their nest, but were ultimately defeated by an unexpected surprise attack by slimes. Chow. Chwiiik! A corpsmander wielding a giant battle ax surrounded by slimes like crazy. It seemed that the number of slimes he had cut alone so far exceeded thousands, but an endless number of slimes were still attacking him. Kwuuuuuuu! Slimes rushing at me with angry cries. The Orc Corps Commander shouted in an urgent voice, perhaps feeling the limit. Chwiiik! Is there anyone! Stop fighting immediately and prepare to retreat! An already losing battle. He knew that retreating was a disgraceful thing, but as a corpsmander, he ordered a retreat with a loud voice, thinking that he had to get out of the unfavorable battlefield and regroup. However, no Orcs responded to his words. Chwiiik...? Very quiet ambient reaction. The corpsmander, who had been frantically cutting down the slime until now, was able to see the situation around him. Wolf Riders and Orc Warriors, who can be called the bodyguards of the Orc Legion Commander. In addition, all the shamans are lying in gray. The orc corpsmander, who was dealing with the endless slimes, realized that he was the only orc who survived. kyung kyung kyung. Toong Toong. To make matters worse, the Orc corpsmander waspletely surrounded by slimes on all sides. Left alone, having lost all his forces, he found a king slime watching him from not far away and a human sitting leisurely on top of him. sigh. Chwiiik.... Don''t rejoice at the current victory. Even though our legions die here, the seething fighting spirit of our great orcs will never be quenched! Comrades spread across the continent! I will remember today''s disgrace and pay you back! Chwiik! Chwiik! An Orc corpsmander who expresses his anger toward slimes and humans. However, despite his vengeful warning, the slimes did not blink an eye. [Kwaaaaaaaang!] Kwaaaang. Rather, the king slime that ms its heavy body on top of the head of the legionnaire. The Orc corpsmander could not stand the weight of dozens of tons easily. He died without making a sound, and the orc colony was thoroughly destroyed by the slime. - Wow... is this a true story? -lol. really crazy - Now, even the Orc army is wiped out. -King-God-Slime. -No, but isn''t that Shiba King Slime scam? You can''t catch it because of its ridiculous size. If you just jump, everyone will die. - Abilities are meaningless. First of all, you can''tpete with the size fight? Viewers who watched the video just in case. They went wild watching the slimes sweeping away all the orcs as they moved in all directions. And at that moment, a strange change urred throughout the Orc colony. [Death of the Orc corpsmander. 1.2% of the remaining troops in the area... were annihted.] [Failed to meet the conditions for preserving the territory of the orc colony.] All the orcs died except for a few small fish. Although it is said to be calibrated for a certain level of gameability, Arcadia''s ecosystem system was more sophisticated than expected. A system in which certain limits are specified. And the moment the threshold was exceeded, the system judged that the orc colony, which was the territory of the orcs, hadpletely copsed. By the slimes that have been attacking by surprise. [The requirements for upying the territory have been met.] [The slimes havepletely upied the orc colony.] [The orc colony has copsed.] [The orc colony is incorporated into the slimes'' territory.] [The slime''s habitat has expanded its territory. I do.] Chwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. A guide sounding from somewhere. And at the same time, green slime began to rise from the ground in various ces in the orc colony. -??? - What is it all of a sudden? - Wait, I''ve seen this scene before? I can''t believe this..... Viewers panicking at the sudden change in terrain. Some of them watched the current change with meaningful eyes, as if they had seen it somewhere before. Kwuuuuuu! Kwyung! Kwaungung! Kww! Enormous numbers of slimes popping out from here and there while being filled with green slime. Seeing the newly born slimes, the slimes that had been fighting fierce battles with the orcs a while ago ran around happily and rubbed against them. -crazy! Orc colony map was really deleted? - No... in real life? Could hunting grounds be destroyed in this way? - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Is this game really insane? Truly unlimited freedom. Appearance of new slimes. Viewers watched as the ce, which used to be a colony of orcs, was filled with green sticky slime and filled with slimes. They were astonished to see the Orcs colony transform into a habitat for slimes, following the same train as the beginner vige in the past. -Orcs bloody tears jam hahahahaha -No, the orc colony was quiterge. But does that all pass? -Wow, is this a real miscarriage? I said it as a joke, but it turns into a real thing. The area of slimes almost doubled. As much as the explosively expanded area, the number of slimes also increased to an iparable extent. Quack! Kyung! Pww! Slimes gathered everywhere as far as the eye could see. That time when their cute cries filled the entire field. These slimes faced a new moment of change again. Woo woo woo. A king slime trembling with a strange glow. Then, a clear system guidance sound began to be heard. [They have aplished a great feat that transcends the limits of their race.] [The slime race has endured countless persecutions and oppression and won a victory. They created a brilliant period of revival that no race could ignore.] The slimes drove out the Orcs and Humans and took over their own territory. The achievements they made themselves further enhanced their status. [The slime race will be readjusted.] [The slime''s stats will increase significantly.] [New attributes will be added.] [Named slimes with special powers will be added.] Growth once again with stronger stats than before. Slimes that do. There was no special change in appearance, just the round green body, bright eyes, and that cute distinctive crying sound, but the level stamped on the heads of the slimes has definitely changed. [Lv. 120 Green Slime] Level 120. Normal slimes that have risen by 40 levels. Their stats have risen to a level where anyone other than a decent ranker can''t dare to guarantee a one-on-one victory. What''s even scarier is that their numbers are no joke. Kyung kyaung kyaung! Kwaaaaaang. The green slimes howled over and over as if they felt good about getting stronger. At first nce, it is a huge scale that seems to be ridiculed by tens of thousands. Despite watching it indirectly as a video, viewers shed a cold sweat at the unknown horror. -Wow..... If they decide to attack... -They are truly invincible slimes. -Anyone who touches our cute little slime... just bes an X. A slime with great power. But this wasn''t the end. [King Slime, who led the prosperity of the slime race, grows further with his brilliant feat.] [Evolves into a new entity that matches his status.] [King Slime, the leader who led the small kingdom of slimes. But now he is the ruler of a decent empire of slimes with vast territories.] [The King Slime'', the lord of slimes, evolves into the Lord of Slime''.] Woo woo woo woo woo woo. A king slime that shimmered for a long time in a splendid light. When he reappeared, the only thing that had changed was his crown. A huge crown adorned with luxurious jewels that arepletely different from the previous ones. If the crown he wore when he was a king slime was regr coffee, the crown now was so gorgeous that it couldn''t bepared as if it were the real TOP. [Lv. 200 Lord of Slime] The highest level boss monster of level 200. Viewers were shocked to see the slime that had grown to the level of catastrophe that they could not dare to touch. -Lord of Slime..... -Crazy..... -Level 200...? -Mom.... what is this..... I''m scared..... -Monga monga is happening!! I''m not kidding, the slimes have really grown to a level that can''t be ignored within Arcadia. On top of that, their lord, the Lord of Slime, radiated a powerful force that made one wonder if the attack itself was possible. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Fain. The shock wave generated by his roar alone can turn the entire area into a scorched earth. Young-hee and Bruce, as well as the viewers who were watching it, couldn''t close their mouths with shocked expressions. [You have been exposed to Lord of Slime''s peers.] [Your rank is too low to ovee your peers. I feel instinctive fear.] [Ability decreases by 30%] [Movement speed is slowed by 50%.] The Lord of Slimes, who is not even a transcendent monster dragon, but also blooms peers and shows overwhelming strength. Slime. In an unbelievable reality, Young-hee and Bruce nkly looked at Jae-young, the starting point of all these incidents and the main character of the topic. Level 52 Choco Piezoa. He turns out to be the owner of a mysterious channel called the daily life of destroyers. He watched these slimes change with an evil smile. And the title that hung in front of his name. Slime''s savior. It was shining and changing. [The Lord of Slimes, Lord of Slimes, is grateful for the yer''s help.] [ The yer who saved and revived the entire race is acknowledged as the benefactor of the entire race.] [The title Savior of Slimes'' has been changed to Saint of Slimes''. It will be changed.] [The slimes will not hesitate to follow anything the yer says. ] As if to swear absolute loyalty, the slimes raise the antennae-like bells on top of Jaeyoung''s head. Seeing their orderly appearance, Tan and L each said one thing as if they were absurd. Wow... these are slimes? It''s no joke. The race itself has fully grown. I knew that slime was nothing but insignificant, but at this level... I''m sure it''s a high-ss race even on the Arcadia continent, right? Hey, master. But why the hell are you raising these guys like this from before? Any special reason? Others don''t know, but Tan knows that it was Jae-young who made the slime stronger when he was the weakest in the neighborhood. He poured out all the probabilities he had back then to make them their monarch, and he made them grow again this time, so he couldn''t understand Jae-young''s behavior. However, at his question, Jaeyoung smiled and said. Why are you cute? ...is that the reason? Tan asked as if he was absurd. However, Jaeyoung was just smiling as he looked at the slimes raising green bells at him with a proud expression. Ha... such crazy... That day, Satan took out a ck scroll again and wrote down in blood red tips to teach future demons. - When you seduce a human, it''s good to appear as cute as possible. -If you pretend to be cute, one more human soul wille out even while sleeping. -Anyway, cute is the best. What a cute thing.... Chapter 89 Chapter 89 I want to be a streamer too (6) The case of the slimes'' invasion of the Orc colony. This incident brought a huge issue to the point of being featured in the media. -Shock! Uncontrobly strengthened slime. What is its purpose? -Uncontroble game bnce. Secret interview with Arcadia officials! - The slime is too strong. Slime, the official weakest member of Arcadia. It was such an insignificant monster that the tutorial quest rmended beginner users to hunt it first. Kwuuuuu! A slimy streamlined green body. It makes a cute cry when it churns and moves. Even the bright eyes that warm your heart just by looking at them. These slimes, which were too cute to be called monsters, could easily be hunted by even children, except for a few sensitive users. That is, until Jaeyoung showed up. [yes? If you seed, I''ll give you a million won. You want me to catch just one slime? oh that''s hard The level has risen so much now that blood pain is no joke, but if dozens of them flock to you while you catch one, you''ll die right away.] Even rankers within two fingers waved their hands and refused missions that cost a lot of money. In fact, it was a situation where rankers who went to catch the strengthened slime with courage and copsed in gray were appearing one after another. [Quaaaaaagh! Save me!] [Kwauuung! Kwung!] Those who unknowingly attacked one to see the liver, were surrounded by dozens of green slimes, were brutally lynched, and copsed in gray. Watching their miserable broadcast, people realized. The fact that anyone who touches this cute little slime will be X-rated. - Slime is the strongest in this world. -How many level 120s are there? -No... If the level is higher, at least reduce the number of objects. How the hell is the basic regeneration rate so high that catchers jump out? -If you really set your mind to it, the slimes will be able to conquer the continent, right? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha while people are trembling with various reactions to these changes. Employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. made a fuss, not knowing what to do, like a person whose foot was on fire. What the hell is this situation! Why did the orc colony explode? Arcadia Co., Ltd. figured out the situation only after the current situation was scattered all over the ce through broadcasting and the Inte. The sensitivity of the executive director who rmended the fact that he obtained rted factster than the users and started to grasp the situation was more extreme than ever. That''s it... In a situation where the slimes killed most of the orcs stationed in the orc colony, even the boss monster, the orcmander, died... So? What the hell did you learn while watching the beginner vige situation! Shouldnt there have been a system in ce to prevent this from happening! That''s it... So, in other normal viges and cities, we have prepared preventive measures by significantly increasing the basic defense ability, but this time it''s not a vige, but a habitat for other monsters... No way the slimes suddenly became neighbors . Who would have imagined that they would wipe out all the orcs in the neighboring neighborhood? It happened underpletely unexpected circumstances, so the embarrassment was greater than ever. I... Executive Director. A situation where representatives from various rted departments are gathered. Among them, Director Kang Tae-Hoon carefully brought up a story to the executive director who rmended it. Once the Orc colony is destroyed and the slimes territory is expanded, it cannot be reversed, so I think we need to adjust the basic bnce. What do you mean? Bnce adjustment? Slimes were originally made for beginners to practice hunting. That''s why it was more crowded with new users than any other hunting ground, and the basic number and regeneration rate set for slimes were higher than any other monsters. The slime habitat in front of the beginner vige, which was initially designed, expanded to include the beginner vige and the orc colony, and the size was increased by more than 5 times from the beginning. However, the number of slimes per unit area and the regeneration rate itself remain unchanged. What? Managing Director Kwon Myung-han realized what Manager Kang Tae-hun said with a serious face. Director Kang Tae-hoon nodded and said to him. Currently, the total number of slimes is 123,215. Compared to any other hunting ground, this is an overwhelminglyrge number. 120,000 horses. Considering that it is a hunting ground, the number of individuals is ridiculouslyrge. The problem was the excessive number of individuals, but a bigger problem was the fact that the level and ability of each slime were so high and powerful that no strong yer could easilypete with them. And at that fact, a murmur erupted from all over the conference room. There are 120 level monsters... 120,000? This crazy... Wait a minute. So, is there a force that has the power to stop the slimes now? A question asked by someone. In response to that question, Manager Kang Tae-hun confirmed with a determined face. Currently, the power of the slimes has be so strong that no race other than the Bur canpete with them. Even the Saint Empire is judging that it will be difficult to easily handle this amount. I can''t believe it... Infinite possibilities. unlimited freedom. In the world of Arcadia, which pursues these two mottos, it is almost impossible to undo something that has happened once. It was the same with the Orc colony just as the entire system was rearranged to rece the destroyed beginner vige. Then, what will happen if these slimes dont stop at this point and start expanding the surrounding area again? A situation that everyone here, including General Manager Kang Tae-hoon, is concerned about. The question was what to do if this signaled the beginning, not the end. If the surrounding viges, territory, and hunting grounds are all destroyed and all of them start to turn into the realm of slime, will we be able to stop it... [Quyaaaaaaaa!] Like a dragon The Lord of Slimes, the Lord of Slimes, who boasts his majesty by emitting peers that can be activated by the overwhelming strongest. People''s faces began to turn white as they imagined in their heads the scene in which countless viges and cities were destroyed by the sweat and blood of users and developers who were trampled by his cute (?) roar. - In fact, the strongest in this world view was slime. Ament left as a joke by an unknown person sarcastic about this situation. However, thatment was not a joke, but an insight into the current situation. Slime appeared as the weakest monster in many games and was hunted and suffered by countless people. It was the moment when they reigned as the strongest in the world of Arcadia that no one dared to touch. * * * While people were talking loudly after seeing another abnormality of the slimes, Jae-young, the culprit of all these incidents, was quietly rejoicing at the unexpected achievement. More than I thought... the number of subscribers to the channel has increased without a joke...? -Destroyer''s daily life. A channel that Jaeyoung made anonymously. Because it was created for the purpose of propaganda, it was left almost neglected except when necessary, but many people began to flock to it at a phenomenal speed due to the slime incident. -lol. Is this the slime master''s channel? -What the hell is your identity, so the slimes follow your words? - Level 52 right? How the hell did you get the title of savior of slimes? - Subscribe because watching the video is fun. I look forward to your other videos. - I''m leaving Younghee and moving here. Please turn on the live broadcast often in the future, hyung. -? XX ????! Because of you, I''m still rotting in the mine! Take responsibility! -lol. Are the mine ck cows still alive? Wasn''t the game folded? Comments filled with new influx. It was just one video, but the ripple effect was so strong that with only three videos, the number of views and subscribers of the channel so easily rose to the level of being recorded in the upper ranks. -Current number of subscribers: 36,710,000 I couldn''t dare to rub against those who have over 100 million subscribers, but unlike those who broadcast almost 24 hours, Jaeyoung''s number was created with a few videos uploaded as a joke, so it is truly a number among video producers. It was an incredible feat. There are a lot of strange notesing... Is that why? Jaeyoung licked his lips at the notification that frantically entered his ount inbox. -hello. We are a managementpany specializing in video editing..... -Hello, Choco Piezoa. If you work with us, you canfortably create videos..... -Thergestpany in Korea! Official creator management in coboration with Arcadia Co., Ltd.... As rumors spread that Arcadia''s video profit is not a joke, entertainment is being created in rapid session. There was literally a mountain of notes from people who sent love calls to Jaeyoung, saying that they would help him focus on video production with various manpower support, including legal issues such as copyright, as well as the editing and shooting team, and the nning team. Hmm..... I don''t think this is bad... I don''t think it''s bad... Jaeyoung, who opened the notes one by one, began to think positively about the contract. Until now, Jae-young had been reclusive and didn''t go out in front of people. Despite countlesspliments on his nickname Dex and offers to recruit pro gamers, he waspletely unresponsive. And the reason was none other than Jaeyoung''s parents. Jaeyoung-ah, its good for people to yputer games, but you shouldnt think about making a living from it. Have a decent job. uh? Meeting a good person while receiving a sry, getting married, and starting a family is the real life of a person. So in the future, don''t study and just keep immersed inputers. Do you know what Daddy means? Jae-young''s parents have been farming all their lives. To them, making money while ying games was an absurd thing that they couldn''t even understand, so Jae-young lived by hiding the fact that he yed games thoroughly until he graduated from high school. What is it? Are you a pro gamer? Aren''t those guys just ying games on fictitious days? If you do something like that and it goes wrong, you and I will just farm for the rest of our lives! Game = Social Evil'' Game = Life''s Hell'' Pro Gamer = Aspiring Unemployed''. Jae-young, who has been praised by people in a state ofplete seclusion because he enjoys games while watching his parents who are full of negative notions about games. He enjoyed people''s reactions to the broadcast he turned on for the first time and felt strange emotions. People who are both excited and amazed. And the satisfaction thates from meeting their expectations. It''s subtle to exin in words, but it''s still not bad, so Jaeyoung decided to continue posting broadcasts in the future. After all, no one knows who I am when I wear the deceivers mask, so what... Jaeyoung opened one of the hundreds of notes piled up and took out his phone. yes. Is that iplus there? I saw the note and contacted you. [Ah, is that so? yes. This is Iplus. What is the name of the channel by any chance?] A young male voice came out of the handset. Jaeyoung answered his cool question lightly. Ah, the daily life of a destroyer. [Ah yes. Destroyer''s... Yes...? Yes?] [Kudang-bang-bang.] The opponent suddenly screamed loudly. There was a loud sound of something toppling over, and after a while, a voice that was extremely reminded came. [Ah... Ah hello! Iplus.] Yes. It''s nothing else, I''m going to look at the note and inquire about the contract... That''s how Iplus signed a contract with Jaeyoung. With an irresistible smile at the fact that they got their hands on a rising super rookie with a huge number of subscribers. But it didn''t take long for their joy to turn to despair. Superrge incidents and idents that Jae-young explodes without a day off. It was really quick to realize that they were the ones who had to deal with the huge dung that poured out because of this. Chapter 90 Chapter 90 I want to be a streamer (7) Iplus Entertainment. It''s smaller than I thought.....'' Jaeyoung, who first visited the ce, felt that the scale was much smaller than expected. A few editingputers in a rented office and a sofa on the other side. And just looking at the CEO''s desk, which was divided by a clumsily made wall, it was clear that he started out as a fistfight without any capital. Ha ha ha... The office looks a bit old, doesn''t it? It''s because I was looking for this in a hurry, so all the good ces are missing. Don''t worry too much as we n to move elsewhere soon. The office is made up of employees who are quite young than expected. The person who introduced himself as the CEO also seemed to be in his mid-40s, so the atmosphere gave off a strong feeling that thepany was a newpany that had just been founded. Jaeyoung muttered as he looked down at the business card he had received from the CEO a moment ago. iplus entertainment. CEO Jo Seo-wook. You''re all pretty young. haha. Because we are a newpany. CEO Jo Seo-wook tries to pass it off with a sad smile. However, Jaeyoung looked around the staff closely with a more serious expression than ever before and asked. To be honest, the scale is much smaller than I thought. It''s my first time signing a contract like this, so there are a lot of things I''m a little cautious about. Are there any other BJs that have contracts with this ce? Watching their videos, I want to see how they are edited. Ah...that''s... When Jaeyoung said that he wanted to check the samples, the employees'' faces showed a moment of bewilderment. The awkward atmosphere where you can''t say anything while looking at each other all the time. And in that brief moment, Jaeyoung noticed. Couldnt it be that no one signed a contract with this ce? Apany with no track record. Realizing this fact, Jaeyoung tried to get up from his seat with a face filled with energy. But at that moment, CEO Jo Seo-wook almost grabbed Jae-young by the crotch of his pants and said, you''re right! In fact, we are a newpany with no BJ contracted yet. The floor here is a ce where you need to have recognition and performance, so they have been doing this without a contract for several months, but they are all excellent employees. Please don''t skip it just because you''re a newbie. please! I didn''t say anything as if I had already been through this situation several times, but CEO Jo Seo-wook who ys the game. However, Jae-young, who had received thorough early education from his parents since he was a child, was not soft enough to fall for such an absurd sentiment. No, how do you suddenly sign a contract with a ce that has no results? I signed a contract with only one word that I had skills, and if anything goes wrong, I will take responsibilityter... Skills are not really lies. Even if they don''t have any track record in thispany, they are extremely well-rounded guys in the marketing and public rtions team of the GM Group. How carefully I selected them! The GM group...? GM Group. A group who dreamed of a coup in the Maroon Kingdom and colluded with the Duke of Bergen to mate with each other. Of course, because Sang Sang-ju was such a goofball, Jae-young assassinated the Duke of Bergen, and beyond that, spread all the conversations on the Inte, only destroying his image. The word that they were people from a ce where they had a bad rtionship with him made Jae-young stop. So... you were originally employees of the marketing and public rtions department of the GM Group, but the team itself was dismantled due to a recent incident...? And that incident happened because of me. A detailed story told by CEO Jo Seo-wook. Hearing this, Jaeyoung''s expression strangely changed when he realized that he was rted to them unintentionally. yes. After the exposure video spread on the Inte... Oh, of course, it''s not that I''m dissatisfied with Jaeyoung-nim in that regard. We saw it, and honestly, it was refreshing. Anyway.... As the video and Arcadia''s official announcement continued to explode, the image of the entire group was seriously damaged. war enterprise. devil of capitalism. money-mad scumbags. The image of an unscrupulouspany that even parents would not recognize if it was money without blood or tears was quickly embedded in the public. Especially since it was a time when Arcadia''s poprity was exploding, the impact was even worse. Well... At that time, they were trying to improve the damaged corporate image from above, and they were just trying to force us to solve it somehow, but it didn''t have much effect. No, even if there are fragments left, even if there are fragments left, I don''t know how the hell to save the image that was just smashed and turned into powder... A corporate image that has turned into an axis of evil without a positive image left. Because of that, CEO Jo Seo-wook, who was the manager at the time, had no choice but to take responsibility and organize the desk. Even if I moved to anotherpany after being fired, it would be obvious that I would only end up getting caught, let alone promoted. In addition, I created thispany with the feeling of taking a big adventure for thest time in my life to live servilely while receiving someone else''s sry. At the same time, there were many members of the department who were filmed at GM, so I brought all the talented ones. Listening to CEO Seo-wook Cho, I could understand why the employees of thispany were all young people. Apany created by a manager who took responsibility and signed a resignation, and department members who worked under him and were properly stamped at the top. Jaeyoung said, feeling a bit of remorse that he could not understand that it had happened because of him. Um... I see. When Jae-young, who seemed to be leaving his seat just a moment ago, slightly sympathized with their situation, CEO Seo-wook Cho told him with a determined face as if this was theirst chance. I... Jaeyoung-nim, I know we are not trustworthy. The office is not good, and the number of employees and the size of thepany are small, so it seems that there is no system. But still, we are pretty talented people. Everyone had a good academic background, and the work ability itself was originally excellent. If you sign a contract with us, I will do my best to edit the video, and I will try to match most of the things you want... Yes, then. yes....? Unlike before, Jaeyoung nodded and showed a positive side. Seeing him like that, CEO Cho Seo-wook opened his eyes wide and made a surprised expression. There is only one condition. The conditions...? yes. CEO Jo Seo-wook asked back with a nervous face at the word condition. Jaeyoung said to him very seriously. Under any circumstances, you must not provide information about my identity to anyone. The same goes for what is shown in the video. yes? That''s natural..... To whom. Even at a drinking party or in private, such a story should note out at all. Well, excuses such as the low-level employee making a mistake or being too drunk to speak in vain don''t work. If that happens, the contract is immediately terminated. Jaeyoung speaks with sincerity. CEO Jo Seo-wook, slightly taken aback by his excessive reaction, rolled his eyes and nodded his head. Thats right. Personal information protection is, of course, the basic thing that we, as an agency, must do thoroughly. Still, as you strongly say, I will thoroughly crack down on the employees first. CEO Jo Seo-wook promises in a strong tone as if asking to believe in himself. Jaeyoung smiled at his promise. great. Then do it, contract. * * * In the process of reviewing and signing the contract, Seo-wook Jo sweated a little at Jae-young''s demanding request, but was it because his earnestness was stronger? After numerous eptances and abandonments, CEO Jo Seo-wook was able to get Jae-young to sign the contract. Then... are you done now? ah! yes! That''s right. With the stamp you just applied, the contract is finally finalized. CEO Jo Seo-wook carefully checks the contract and checks for any omissions. Jaeyoung asked him again as if to confirm. If the leakage of personal information urs intentionally or by negligence, the amount ofpensation for it is... Yes, as you said, all profits within the contract period are returned. You don''t have to worry, as there will never be anything exposed on our side. CEO Jo Seo-wook speaks in a firm tone as if you don''t have to worry about that part. He put a copy of the contract into an envelope and handed it to Jaeyoung. Now, if you send us the video you want to upload, we will edit it in the direction you want and upload it instead. If you share your Arpendia ount information with us... Here. Before CEO Jo Seo-wook could finish his words, Jae-young took something out of his pocket and handed it to him. What is this? I also included a video that I thought would be fine if I uploaded it along with my Arpendia ount information. Please look at it and edit it to make it taste better. Oh, what is that.... Dont forget to edit all parts that reveal my personal information. Jaeyoung hands over a ck memory card as if she had prepared it in advance. CEO Cho Seo-wook epted it with a bewildered expression and nodded. Ah... yes... thats right. Then I will go. I''ll send you a video from time to time if there''s something useful. Jae-young leaves the office indifferently, saying that the business is over. CEO Jo Seo-wook just nkly watched Jae-young''s back until another employee spoke to him. That representative? Are you okay? huh? ah! I''m okay. That person... hes young, but doesnt he have a unique atmosphere? Well... I dont know. It seems too picky...? I dont know why you are so sensitive to personal information. Heung, do you know what kind of celebrity you are? The staff barely spoke after Jae-young left. However, CEO Jo Seo-wook, as if he couldn''t hear them, hurriedly started connecting the memory card that Jae-young handed over to theputer. now. Lets stop talking nonsense and start by checking the video we need to work on. is it so. Well... lets take a look. Aww! It''s been nice since I haven''t worked, but now I''m really starting to work... A projector installed in one corner of the office. When the video attached by Jaeyoung started ying through the projector, the employees as well as CEO Seowook Cho began to watch it with a curious expression. What is this ce...? It looks like an underground cave... It looks like some kind of passage? Is this a dungeon exploration video? I don''t know where it is..... I don''t know exactly where I am, but the video begins with walking down a long passage somewhere deep underground. And not long after, the sight that appeared in front of them shocked everyone. What is this? There is such a hidden giant structure underground? Where the hell are you? Hundreds of meters to the ceiling... no, a huge underground city located in what appears to be several kilometers. Filled with burning furnaces and the sound of hammers, I could feel that it was a lively city full of vitality just by looking at it from the outside. And when they found out who the inhabitants of the city were, they couldn''t keep their mouths shut. What a crazy... Dwarf? A dwarf? Was there a city where dwarves lived? lie! Haven''t you heard anything about dwarves? A message appeared on the screen while I was so excited that I shouted loudly as if I was shouting. [Discovered an undiscovered area.] [Legendary achievement. I discovered Sand of Forge, thest city of the dwarves, for the first time.] After seeing this, all the iPlus employees sat still and watched the video with their mouths shut as if they had promised. Their eyes started burning with passion unlike before. Sands of Forge, thest city of the dwarves. While making a firmmitment to create the best video to reveal this ce for the first time. Chapter 91 Chapter 91 I want to be a streamer too (8) Iplus Entertainment. It was a smallpany founded by people who had been separated from the GM Group''s marketing department. Those who have worked together in the same department for several years. That''s why they could tell what each other was thinking just by looking at their faces. CEO? This video... Isnt it great? Silence continues for a long time after the video ends. Someone swallowed, broke the silence, and opened his mouth, and CEO Jo Seo-wook spoke on his behalf. And all of a sudden everyone started cheering. This is crazy! How many ces do you need to focus on in the video? If I just went out as the original without editing, would I still watch it from beginning to end? A video revealing the hidden city of the dwarves for the first time...! Wow! it''s crazy! Arcadia, a virtual reality game with billions of subscribers. Regardless of nationality, race, gender or age, they were gaining worldwide poprity and were swallowing up the entire game industry, so they knew better than anyone else the value of the video Jaeyoung gave them. Now, the atmosphere seems a bit too excited, so lets all calm down and have a proper discussion first. What do you all think of this video? Employees glisten at the words of CEO Jo Seo-wook. And one of them raised his hand and said. This is something that can never fail at the box office. Unlike the stimting mission performance videos of recently popr BJs or the high-difficulty dungeon raid videos that have already been revealed, it is a symbolic video that unveils the hidden regions of Arcadia for the first time. originality. and differentiation. Sands of Forge, a hidden city inhabited by a dwarf n. Although Jaeyoung was not conscious of it while ying, they found noteworthy elements in various parts of the video taken while walking around the city of dwarves. The size of the city and the characteristics of the dwarves will also attract people''s attention, but more importantly, friendly exchanges with them are possible. A race of dwarves who are blessed by the gods and are born with excellent dexterity. Not a single Dwarf was left out, running his own workshop and producing all sorts of high-quality equipment. And in the video, Jaeyoung showed that it is possible to actually trade with them. [Ah, did youe to look around our studio? If it''s our close friends, there''s no shortage of using my creations. Take your time looking around and tell me if you find someone you like.] Dwarf-made equipment. The part where you can get a glimpse of the possibility that the products of those whosest new supply dried up for sale hundreds of years ago can be released again. In addition to these contents that would make the eyes of the arms dealers turn over, there were also contents that excited cksmith users. [ha. There are too few workers these days. Are there any cksmiths around you with outstanding potential? If it''s your rmendation, I don''t think it''s okay to be a human...] Even the line that shows the possibility that I can learn the crafting skills of the dwarves while working at the workshop. When I put together a few facts that I could infer from watching this video, there was amon idea that automatically came to my head. It would be a huge benefit if I just preupied this ce...?'' Hidden quests and secret locations that have not been revealed. Unlike other open areas that countless users have already enjoyed chewing, biting, and tasting, the city of Dwarves is surrounded by a veil. Holding this video, which is certain to bring about a huge issue, CEO Seo-wook Cho and his subordinates spoke with a more determined expression than ever before. Really... I have to make it the best work. New entertainmentpany iPlus. The historical video that will decorate their first portfolio was thus born. * * * After Arfandia and Arcadia were released into the world. A natural flow of change has begun to ur in the world. [Nowadays, unlike in the past, people don''t read images or text very well. This is a recent phenomenon. Now, it has be a trend to make and provide anything as a video. As an older person, it seems to be a trend that is hard to follow. Heh heh heh.] As a professormented on the broadcast, video was rapidly increasing its market share on the Inte, recing images. Just as in the earlyputer era, when texts and images moved in the past, the mainstream is rapidly changing from images to images. And this change could not help but be burdensome even for video producers. -Haam..... No jam. -I roughly skipped and watched, but there was nothing special..... I need to make a video with more sincerity. -Give me 15 minutes of my life back... It''s really a waste of time. Compared to other things, video production and editing takes a lot of time and effort. However, in most cases, people''s reactions to their efforts were disastrous or the number of views did note out properly, so they created more and more stimting and interesting videos each time. But at the same time, the eyes of the viewers also continued to rise. - These days, the videos don''t seem interesting. -Everyone is alike, and with all the information they know, they repeat themselves over and over again, so there is nothing to see. -sympathy. I want to see something new and something that no one else can do. Don''t you know the expectations of the viewers? Viewers grumble that there aren''t many of the kind of videos they expect. However, theirint-filledments were always criticized by those who defended BJs. -Hey, do you know what kind of hidden ss or hidden quest is the name of whose house Yellowy is? It''s something that is discovered by chance, so it''s hidden''. How do you upload only those things every day? -lol. If you''re so dissatisfied, why don''t you take a video yourself? -If you twist it, go to the BJ channel that only uploads videos like that. Don''t muddy the water here, turn it off. Viewers wandering here and there through countless channels thirsting for freshness every day. However, there was only one channel that was like a sacred ce to them, and that was the daily life of a channel destroyer created by Jaeyoung. -It''s okay if you don''t upload videos every day..... Just keep it fresh. - Right now, this channel video is the most fun. -agreed. The video upload cycle is irregr, so the content itself is the best here. -lol. Slime is cute! Only 3 videos were uploaded, but the ripple effect of each one was so strong that it was like an oasis to quench their thirst for the nomads of Arfandia who pursued freshness. And a new video was uploaded to Jaeyoung''s channel. -New Destroyer video! -what? really? - Run right away. good luck. As soon as the notification that the video was uploaded came out, tens of thousands of viewers flocked to it in an instant. When they opened the video, they were shocked. - A dwarf? -Is it true? What''s this? -Wait a minute... Where is this ce? really? A background looking into a cave deep underground. After walking for a while, thest city of the Dwarves was revealed. When the Sands of Forge appeared, thement section began to flood with excessive traffic. - The first discoverer! -crazy! Undiscovered area? It''s also a city of dwarves? - Holy shit! is this real - and me! How the hell are you ying? -But it seems like there are too many deleted contents...? There are many traces of the video that were deliberately erased as if it could not be released. All the parts that could know someone were mosaic or masked, and all the parts where names were specifically called were beeped. But despite missing a lot of pieces, it was enough to excite viewers with finicky tastes. [A rtionship of trust has been formed with the Dwarves.] [Questpleted.] [ess to the Sand of Pose has been obtained.] [The Sand of Forge is opened .] There is.] [The title Friend of the Dwarves'' has been acquired.] A message saying that the title has been obtained and that the Sands of Forge has been opened. In addition,ments full of hope and anticipation began to run at the phrase suggesting the possibility that exchanges between humans and dwarves could continue. - A deal with the dwarves? I can''t stand this - Where are you? I''m running right now -No, this is how you cut it off? You should also provide location information. -Ah... Are you saying you''re going to make me anxious like this and eat it all by yourself? -Ha... I''ll turn around. If you do that well, I think it will be a great hit..... Undisclosed area. It was also a city of a different race called Dwarves, so viewers started to get anxious thinking that they could suck all the sweet honey by arriving there first and preupying it a little. -uh? Destroyer channel agency? -I know? I think you signed a contract recently.... Iplus? It''s the first time I''ve heard of it..... A management that takes care of video production and various problems thate with it. Those who confirmed at the end of the video that they had a contract with such apany picked up the phone without dy. Yes, thats Iplus, right? I have something to ask you about the recently uploaded video of the city of dwarves... So Iplus suffered all sorts of trouble from the flood of inquiries they had never experienced before. From information about the city to the personal information of Jaeyoung, the owner of the Destroyer Channel. CEO Seo-wook Jo was able to realize it only after calling with curiosity about so many things and sweating the people who came to the office in person. Why the hell was Jae-young so morbid about leaking personal information and putting such an unreasonable use in the contract? Haa.... I knew the impact of the video wouldn''t be a joke, but I didn''t expect it to be this serious... Including reporters, ranked guilds, famous BJ streamers, and even rankers opened the door to the office. A situation where the dwarves are knocking and asking for information about the city. From the standpoint of iPlus, people who dare not ignore it directly came and put pressure on CEO Seo-Wook Cho. Even though it was not a hot day, his shirt was soaked with sweat. Weiying. The phone that suddenly rings the moment you send people and get out of breath to some extent. CEO Cho Seo-wook answered the phone in surprise when he identified the caller. Yes customer! What are you doing? [Oh, I''m just going to tell you that I watched the video well. I didn''t ask for anything, but you edited it well. Thank you.] Since Jae-young hates exposing personal information, he deliberately erased the information of Jae-young and his co-workers. As if he liked it quite a bit, Jaeyoung''s voice over the receiver was filled with satisfaction. no. We just did what we had to do. I''m really d you were satisfied. [Oh, that''s what I mean. I sent you another video by e-mail, so could you check it out and work on it and upload it? Do not hide information about the item itself.] Yes? An item? CEO Jo Seo-wook doesn''t understand exactly what Jae-young''s requirements mean. However, Jaeyoung finished what he had to say and hung up the phone. [If you watch the video, you will know what I mean. Then I''ll hang up.] What is that again...? He tilts his head at the strange instructions and sits in front of theputer to open the mail. While downloading, an employee handed him a coffee. CEO, do it while drinking coffee. Yes....? Oh thank you. CEO Cho Seo-wook is staring at the monitor while sipping coffee without thinking. However, he inadvertently watched the scene in the video and spewed coffee at thest item description. Pu-poo! Dae-representative? Are you okay? A ck liquid sprayed from CEO Seowook Cho''s mouth. The unique aroma of coffee rose here and there and stung his nose, but he only stared nkly at the monitor screen. [Hammer of Vulcanus - Myth] A mythical grade item written in zing red text. Even if you rub your eyes and look again, the item in the video CEO Jo Seo-wook is watching is a mythical grade. This crazy..... A video that Jaeyoung indifferently threw at a situation where all the users were in an uproar over the first reveal of the city where the dwarves live. It was none other than the first public video of a mythical item in history. Chapter 92 Chapter 92 I want to be a streamer too (9) After receiving a new video from Jaeyoung. All iPlus employees gathered and held an emergency meeting. Isnt this... not too much of a joke...? An employee who gulps down saliva and expresses candid impressions with a serious face. And as if agreeing with what he said, everyone nodded their heads in unison. that''s right! How long has it been since you posted your first video about the dwarven city? It''s a situation where there''s a chaos because of the people flocking to it, but you''re revealing a mythical grade item here? Then maybe we can''t even dig a bone? Reporters roam around the offices of iPlus looking for interviews or stories. In addition, there are people who directly visit and hang around to find out the exact location of the city of dwarves and Jae-young''s identity. Even so, the entirepany was already receiving explosive attention, and it would not be strange if a bloody event such as a riot urred if even a mythical grade item was released here. How are you going to go about acquiring the mythical items? Didnt I tell you not to cover it up and to disclose everything? A shape created by a crude hammer burning in a huge red me. The figure exuding tremendous energy was spilling a story in the video as if it had a huge rice cake. [I stillck a lot to be a being that will shine my name...] [Try as much as youck, and try again. Whatever hardships, whatever pains, whatever tough obstacles, ovee and ovee them like steel, and surpass them all. And be the best cksmith and confidently reveal yourself to the world as my apostle.] A message to Joong-shik, the owner of the hammer. The transcendent existence clearly announced its existence in the video, spewing out a huge prominence that seemed to swallow the entire city. [The name of Vulcanus, who was called the god of steel, fire, and cksmiths...] A mythical cksmith hammer that appeared like that. Since they were iPlus employees who y Arcadia, I knew that the ripple effect of this video was iparable to any other video. CEO, its nothing else, its a Shinhwa level. Besides, looking at this video, it seems like something huge is hidden. It seems to be at least the level of the main scenario, but if this is released, will we be able to handle the storm after that? A transcendental being unheard of even in Arcadia''s worldview. In addition, since I have never heard of the setting that such a divine being appears in a game anywhere, I was able to guess that the situation that is happening in the video is fragmentarily exposing a tremendous grand narrative that has not yet been released to the public. Once I get it. Ill make a phone call with the customer for a while ande back, so everyone is cooling their heads. CEO Cho Seo-wook thinks this is too much. Of course, if you are a user who ys Arcadia, you have no choice but to click on it at least once, so it was certain that it would change the highest number of views. However, since it was a video that had such a powerful ripple effect, there was a very strong possibility that if it went wrong, it would be a disaster for the people who flocked to the entire IPlus. Huh... This really hurts my head... Jaeyoung is obsessed with keeping secrets thoroughly. Because of that, people''s curiosity and interest were all driven to hispany, which was the only link, and he was receiving a lot of attention to the extent that he was burdened with building a stronger awareness than ever before. Okay.... First of all, we have to talk in the direction of revealing it after a while... CEO Seowook Cho calls somewhere on his mobile phone with an expression as if he has made up his mind on something. After a brief beep, Jaeyoung''s voice sounded puzzled. [Yes, Mr. What''s going on?] Oh, customer. I received the video well and checked it with the staff. I called because I have something to discuss about it. [Oh is that so? What are you discussing?] That''s it... I reviewed the video internally and held a meeting with the staff..... This video itself is perfect and there is no problem at all, but the timing is toote to postpone the upload schedule. I came to the conclusion that it would be better. [Um... is that so? What was the timing?] Ah... that''s because after this video was released, so many people came to thepany to ask about the video. There were a lot of people asking for information about the customer, but I was sweating hard to euphemistically refuse and send it. [That''s right. You''ve worked hard.] That''s why I want the release of this video to be dyed even a little bit. Right now, people''s reactions are so explosive, and if myth-level items and information rted to them are exposed, people will never be quiet. However, despite CEO Jo Seo-wook''s earnest request, Jae-young''s voice over the receiver was indifferent. [For that reason, it seems difficult to ept the dy in uploading the video.] Yes....? [There are two reasons. I''m going to release that video now because people''s interest has reached its peak.] What is that...? [Didn''t you feel it while watching the video? I don''t know what it is, but it''s like rice cake that there''s a huge scenario that hasn''t been revealed yet.] ..... At Jae-young''s words, President Jo Seo-wook shut his mouth. Even if he thought about it, it was a video that clearly revealed hidden settings that had not yet been revealed, so he did not even think to refute Jae-young''s spection. [However, there is little information we know. That''s why I open it to people. Think about it. There is no known information, clues, or anything... but at least if you know the purpose of what to look for, won''t a lot of things be uncovered soon? That''s why I''m uploading this video.] That word... stimtes people to intentionally dig into rted scenarios to uncover additional information... Do you mean this? [Hmm...well, not exactly that purpose, but it''s simr.] It actually was. Originally, the main scenario is never a structure that only one person can take over. It was something that had to be solved by as few as hundreds and as many as tens of millions of users working together. It was a problem that Jaeyoung could not solve alone, so he was inducing the emergence of the main scenario in the direction of disclosing hidden information about it to people. [Please edit the parts that can identify who I am like in the previous video.] Okay..... If that''s the reason, I''ll have the video ready to be uploaded in the near future. CEO Jo Seo-wook had no choice but to bow his head at Jae-young''s words that he would intentionally disclose hidden scenario information at a time when people''s interest was at its peak. Whatever it was, it was Jaeyoung, the original creator of the video. [yes. Then please.....] Ah. That customer? [yes. Is there anything else you want to say?] CEO Jo Seo-wook hurriedly calls Jae-young, who was about to hang up the phone, as if he remembered something. he asked in a very curious voice. You said earlier that there were two reasons for uploading the video right now, but I think you only said one... Then what is the other reason? CEO Cho Seo-wook''s question. In response to that question, Jaeyoung said it didn''t matter. [Ah... the second reason? Its just fun.] Yes...? [It''s so much fun to read thements these days. It''s fun to see the number of subscribers and views go up. I will have to upload more videos of this in the future. People''s reaction is surprisingly good.] ..... Jaeyoung is happy to see the reaction after uploading the video. However, CEO Cho Seo-wook kept his mouth shut with a face that chewed shit. Even now, all employees are suffering greatly from people who are looking for an opportunity to break into the office in the aftermath of the previous video, but the person concerned is peacefullyughing while watching thements. It was CEO Seo-wook Cho who was strangely upset. Arcadia Korea Branch. All departments, normally busy without blinking an eye, suddenly stopped working due to a notice from the head office. What do you mean by that? Deprivation of work authority? Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was clearly embarrassed. As the general manager of the Korean branch, he asked with a white face at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. It is literally. As of the current time, all business rights for nning, development, management, and operation of quests and main scenarios are revoked. Matters rted to this are immediately notified to the department in charge of the relevant task, and reassigned to another department by switching to another task. Therefore... A notice to disband all departments rted to quests and main scenarios and scatter to other departments. At those words, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han said with a white face as if shocked. What do you mean by that! It would not be an exaggeration to say that the department for quest and scenario development is the core of ourpany, but that department was suddenly ... However, President Lee Mi-yeon said while holding out an extremely thick document in front of him. cooong. A stack of papersnded on her desk with a heavy sound. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon made an expression as if asking what that was, and CEO Mi-Yeon Lee said in a low voice. Executive Director, Executive Director, do you know how many main scenarios have contradictions? If you are talking about the opening of the Dwarf Vige, that part is already being resolved by the entire development team. Sooner orter, all the problematic quests will be able to be adjusted... Really? You said you would smoothly adjust all of the over 100,000 quests? yes....? 100,000 summary....? What is that... You didnt know yet. Act. Starting with 3, Act. All scenarios up to 9 have been corrupted. In other words, all the scenarios that will be released over the next ten years are twisted and twisted, and aplete revision is inevitable. yes....? Yeah eh eh?! Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon picks up the documents, frightened by those words. While he was checking the contents of the documents with an expression of disbelief, CEO Lee Mi-yeon adjusted her sses and said, This has been reviewed several times already. Coboration between humans and artificial intelligence You create a huge framework for the main scenario, and Alice, an artificial intelligence, actively draws out the details. It was my initial n to manage Arcadia with this structure, but looking at the results so far, it seems impossible. Users bouncing back and forth inpletely unpredictable directions. Problems that arise as the tes of the scenarios they have nned continue to go awry because they could not predict and induce all their actions. So, Alice made a decision. It means that we will create a real story by real users, not a story made with vague predictions and spections. ...the other employees won''t understand. Sure. The only people who knew about the existence of Ellis were me, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, and a few heads of specific departments. ..... Talk as usual. ording to the decision of the headquarters'', we have decided to entrust the task of developing quests and scenarios to the headquarters'' from now on. Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Devil-like Angel (1) Sand of Forge, the city of dwarves, revealed by Jaeyoung. After vividly showing that this n of dwarves, which only appears in history books, exists and lives by building their own huge city. Attempts to determine the exact location of the ce began to take ce here and there. [When I saw it. First of all, it''s near the Pagon Mountains or simr mountains. First of all, you can see the huge reserves of iron ore in the video, right? The entire city is one huge workshop, and there must be an iron ore-rich deposit nearby that can supply all the iron ore they consume.] From the explorer and adventurer sses, who analyzed Jaeyoung''s video frame by frame and dug into suspicious areas. [This is a historical document I found in the library. The most recent record is of a war between elves and dwarves. Let''s look at those records...] Even the wizards and archeology ss who dig up the records of the library spread across numerous kingdoms and cities to find clues about them. Each of them started digging up information about the Sands of Forge in their own way. Find it. Our guild will first preupy the city of the dwarves. There is a possibility of trading Dwarf-made equipment.... The guild that preupies it first will dominate the arms market itself. There must be a lot of hidden quests, right? If you''re lucky, you might get a hidden ss? If you enter the workshop run by the dwarves, your skill rank will rise quickly. From a group with a force that cannot be ignored, such as a huge guild orrge-scale trade union, to an apprentice cksmith dreaming of sess. As everyone started to find the hidden city of the dwarves, clues hidden throughout Arcadia began to emerge one by one. You mean a dwarf? Why are those ignorant bastards? Dwarf...? Well, I''ve heard that books about the dwarf n are in the archives of Aner''s estate. joy. Information about the dwarves? don''t know anything But not for free. From a drunken drunkard living in an obscure small town to a savage thief who owns a bookstore in a small estate. Information gradually began to flow to the users from NPCs who had been scattered here and there with fragmentary information about the Dwarf race. [Detected a spike in keywords for dwarves.] [Exposure to that information 42%.] [Risk of exposure of Sands of Forge 54%.] Excluding all misinformation or missing information, the actual location of the Sands of Forge. A situation in which users who specify the start to appear one by one. That''s why Alice abandoned all the quests prepared by Arcadia''s development team and went into her own creation mode. [Disable all existing quests.] [Switch to real-time quest creation mode.] [Select a user who satisfies the quest creation requirements... and grant rted quests.] The very few users who received the quests created by Alice herself . They held their breath and started moving toward the Sands of Forge. Toward Shurim, one of the 5 golden regions of Arcadia. * * * While people were looking for the city of the dwarves and wandering all over the ce, Jaeyoung took off his mask and was peacefully enjoying his leisure time in a small vige. Hmm... After all, people have to live in a ce with good air. A reality that has turned hazy with fine dust. However, the air of Arcadia, where the endlessly towering trees were dense, was just pure serenity. Jae-young enjoys a refreshing feeling by taking deep breaths with her eyes closed. I couldn''t be thisfortable to have time to myself apart from the lunch that had been following me all along. Ah... it really makes me frustrated. Hey, since you''re so inflexible, even the angels under you are all invincible bastards, you fucking chicken! It''s better than a bunch of bats who just run their own way without any principles, right? Because they just crash into it without thinking, they get robbed by us every time. what? These goddamn chicken wings... did you say everything? No, havent you done it yet? It''s pathetic to worry about when the back of the head will hit because I can''t manage the kids properly, but anyway, I''m trying to make a kids fight into an adult fight... As always, Jae-young, who was watching Tan and L fight everyday, suddenly fluttered and flew away with a sullen expression. He looked at the bulleting and put on a puzzled expression. why? Is there something wrong? Oh, master... Im sorry, but I think I need to go downstairs for a moment. bottom....? Ah home? Tan''s words point at the floor and say bottom. Jaejoong nodded as if he understood what he meant. Okay, it doesnt matter, what happened? You don''t look very good. Ah... that''s... it''s a bitplicated. Complicated...? As if he was reluctant to speak in detail, Tan continued to mumble and hesitate. However, El flew in from behind and spoke for him in a teasing tone. One of the guys downstairs said he would be the demon king while he was away. Hey, wont you shut up? Im still angry, but he keeps touching me. Tan shouted while frowning. As if enjoying his reaction, L showed off his rxed attitude and said. Quickly go and fix it. Or will our kids push you all away? Ha... I really can''t help you... Tan grumbled, frowning at El''s unknown words. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said as if he was really okay. Dont worry and go. I don''t know what''s going on, but it seems to be important, so I''ll have to go. Thank you, master. Don''t worry, I''ll be back as soon as possible... And don''t go over those damn chicken wings if they mess around. got it? What tricks? You know what I mean. Tan said something meaningful with a wink in his eyes. Jaeyoung nodded his head, realizing what he was talking about. Ehh.... His greed for probability.'' Probability reached 1 million. After spending it here and there for various things, the only thing left is about 300,000. Of course, thergest amount flowed to Vulcanus, but even though a non-negligible amount went to Tan and El evenly, the two alwayspetitively clung to Jaeyoung as if they were not satisfied with that. Woo woo woo. A small ck hole opened at Tan''s gesture. Tan hurriedly disappeared into the hole as if being chased, and soon after, the ck hole disappeared without a trace. Whew..... Tan, who has been closely monitoring him for 24 hours. When Tan, who had been with her most of the time, disappeared, Jae-young felt an unknown feeling of relief and liberation. Finally, the uninvited guest is gone. L speaks with a strange smile. L clings to him in the name of a guardian angel. Jaeyoung felt strangely awkward as he had never been alone with her. If L wants to go back to the top after a long time, you can go. Because I''m really fine. are you okay. I deliberately made this to have time for just the two of us, so why would that be? okay? No wait... What? L reveals that it was because of him that Tan had no choice but to return to the Pandemonium. She smiled brightly and said to Jaeyoung as if it was nothing. Originally, the young devils with yellow buds are insidious and do not know that they are faithful. It''s not umon for a person to rise up iming to be the king even if he''s faithful to all his desires and gets spoiled even a little bit. We just slightly stimted that desire. That means... Ah, in addition to that, send Uriel and his army a little bit to stir it up, and it''s really worth seeing. Hes probably on a poop rope and fidgeting by now? Michael is smiling with sincere joy as if he is happy just thinking about it. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung couldn''t close his gaping mouth as if he was shocked. Wait a minute. So what you mean is that you deliberately instigated a coup in the demon realm and at the same time sent angels to attack it? yes. That much is enough for that bastard bat to go down with his heavy ass for sure. L says it was inevitable. Seeing her reaction, Jaeyoung asked with a confused expression. No, why the hell...? Jae-young couldn''t understand why he was trying to send the bullet that way. However, L gave him a bright smile and said. Oh my, of course its to give back what was done to that bastard. Could there be any other reason? what....? Did you forget? Our sacred sanctuary, which was sealed away deep inside Mount Pagon. The sanctuary where I stepped into Tan''s guidance. At Michael''s mention of the ce, Jaeyoung flinched at the shing memories of the past. [Because if what we did here is revealed to the world, it seems that life will be twisted in the future...] Jae-young, who digs into the sacred sarcophagus and even muttes the body of an unknown person who is sleeping in peace. [That''s why we have to destroy the evidence.] After that, even the brutal act of destruction that turned everything into powder without leaving a trace. And, perhaps noticing Jaeyoung''s reaction, L said with a bright smile. Oh, I dont mean to say anything about it, so dont worry too much. It was a situation where he didn''t know what he had done, and he was tricked intomitting it by the devil''s tongue. Any misdeed can be forgiven if it was done in ignorance. Is that so...? Even though he is clearly smiling, L can feel the bloody energy. To her words, Jaeyoung scrutinized and replied, but L did not intend to go over it so easily. But... the devil who instigated such cruel things shouldn''t be forgiven, right? ..... L who is full of life. At her words, Jaeyoung began to miss Tan for the first time ever. However, Tan hurriedly left for the Pandemonium to clean up the shit overflowing from him. So, Jaeyoung had no choice but to go through this ufortable situation alone. What the hell do you want from me...? I want fairness. process....? L speaks of fairness. When Jaeyoung made a strange expression at her words, L revealed his original purpose to Jaeyoung. Are you going to the hidden vige of the elves? You''ll see when you get there... There''s one thing damn demons like Tan prize. what? What are you talking about? The vige of elves that Jaeyoung is heading to. It was difficult for Jaeyoung to understand El''s words that demons, such as Tan, are crazy about elves who love nature, peace and bnce. If you go to that part, you will know what I am talking about. Anyway... when you get there, smash the thing. what....? Please crush it into powder thoroughly and make it impossible to recover again. Oh, give me the wreckage if you can. I want to take care of it and pass it on to the bastard myselfter. There are things I really want to say. L speaks as if he has already nned and prepared everything. I don''t know when the hell she started preparing it, but Jaeyoung seemed to get goosebumps at her n, which seemed like she had put a lot of effort into it for a very long time. If you do, wont you feel a little less sorry for us? L asks him with a bright smile. On that day, Jaeyoung definitely felt it. It means that angels are more terrifying than demons. Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Devilish Angel (2) An eye for an eye. In this. Michael tries to embody the ideology of Hammurabi''s code of giving equal repayment in Arcadia. I don''t know when the hell it was, but her n was meticulous, as if it had been nned a long time ago. I sent a message to Uriel telling him to wait as long as possible and cause a local war while the bat bastard puts down the coup. We can buy time for about a week, so we can deal with it within that time. L speaks with a smile. From her smile, Jaeyoung flinched, feeling a huge madness that he couldn''t even imagine. Hey El...? I can see why you''re doing this. But since when the hell have you been nning this? The medium that could summon her. [Glorious Celestial Medal] ording to Tan, the ce where these valuable items were hidden was very important to the angels of the celestial realm. That''s why, while looking for that ce, Tan personally guided Jaeyoung to that ce. However, since she had never mentioned the destruction of the ce until now, Jae-young did not understand the situation in which she brought up the incident. Hmm... I thought about the specific n a while ago. It''s just that I''ve been aiming for that target for hundreds of years. what....? Michael briefly recounted the rtionship between angels and demons that has been going on since the beginning of time. And Jaeyoung knew that there were many, many more situations simr to the onemitted with Tan than he thought. Do you know why everyone, angels and demons, make contracts with the humans of Arcadia and work hard to exert their influence? Thats it... Jaeyoung, who was about to say something, kept his mouth shut. In fact, I had never really thought deeply about why demons and angels had to leave the demon world or heaven world where they were and go through all sorts of hardships in Arcadia to get involved in the incident. However, Jaeyoung, who remembered something, looked at her with strange eyes and asked. No way... Probability? that''s right. The more we exert our power within Arcadia through contracts with humans, the more probable we gain. That''s the case, but there''s a more important reason. A more important reason...? L that there is something more important than probability. She smiled and said to Jaeyoung, who asked with curious eyes. To fuck the other person. To sum up her words: Angels and demons are always fighting for power and walking a tightrope. However, there are times when the bnce of power is tipped in one direction or another. Like the recent Witch Hunt by Saint Empire or the continental conquest of the evil Lich Argamer. And in such a situation, they would destroy each other''s holy ces or holy relics that they had hidden all over Arcadia. The tomb that was destroyed at that time was one of the cards our heavens created to prepare for the distant future, but all of it was wasted because of that bastard bat. Well... there are many other countermeasures that have been secretly nted, so it won''t be a big problem, but I can''t live with being hit like this. Tanpletely destroyed the sacred ce cherished in the heavens. L wanted Jae-young to personally destroy the demons'' cherished things, just like the situation at that time. For hundreds of years, we have been aware of several things that bat babies secretly hide and cherish. I''ve been watching the situation so far to fuck these bastards... Unfortunately, it oveps with where Dex-nim is going? So I made up my mind. I will now carry out the revenge I have nned so far. In other words, L was figuring out the things Tan secretly hid all over the continent of Arcadia. Seeing Jaeyoung heading to the base of the elves, where there is one of those retaliation lists, he was going to solve his own revenge as well. For now, I understand the reason... But El vengeance only brings another vengeance. Of course, you were the first to suffer damage because of Tan and I, but if you take another revenge, it will only lead to a chain of revenge that will never be broken. What do you want to say? L asks what he wants to say with a puzzled expression. To her, Jaeyoung told her what an angel would basically have. Can''t you forgive Tan and move on? Revenge breeds more revenge. In order to break this recurring chain of vengeance, the opponent had to be forgiven. However, seeing Jaeyoung mentioning forgiveness, L put on a cold expression and spoke in a cynical tone. Forgive me? Ask those fucking bats. It''s a necessary virtue for those who can regenerate, not an irredeemable squire like the devil. If you eat the candy, you should be prepared to eat the same. As if shouting Forgiveness is not in my dictionary''. Michael, the incarnation burning with vengeance. She said in a confident voice. Do not worry too much. Once you go to the elves'' vige, you''ll know what I''m talking about and why you have to destroy what they hold dear. ...Once I get it. But don''t forget I don''t visit elves for that reason. A new mission after forming a friendly rtionship with the dwarves. It was about the elves. [Mission. 4] Dwarves and elves, enemies of the fiery world. Their quarrel started off as trivial and ended in a very cruel way. Races that couldn''t eat each other. Is there really a way to restore the rtionship between these two races? Be a peace envoy between these two and mediate a reconciliation! [Victory Conditions] -Agreement of peace between the two races -Opening of a trade route between the two races [Failure Condition] -Breaking of the peace agreement between the two races -Resumption of war between the two races A mission to improve rtionships. It was a peaceful and meaningful mission, so after a long persuasion, Jaeyoung received negotiation terms from the dwarves and was heading to the elven vige with my mediation n. And in the meantime, L made a strange n and forced Jae-young into the situation. That''s why Jaeyoung made it clear that he wouldn''t overreact to L''s request. However, despite Jaeyoung''s words, L spoke with a very rxed attitude. yes yes. I know that. Well, I won''t force you to do it, so don''t worry too much. L tells a meaningful story. Looking at her like that, Jaeyoung only suffered another cognitive dissonance at the archangel''s words and actions that were more devilish than the devil. Isn''t it possible that the basic settings have been reversed between angels and demons?'' Sometimespared to Tan, L looks so vicious that the creepiness is felt even more. Looking at her, Jae-young sincerely wanted to ask the developer to check the algorithm. * * * Great Desert Shurim and Great Forest Amil, which belong to Arcadia''s five forbidden regions. The two ces, full of the intentions of the developers, created a harsh environment that ordinary users could not easily survive. -Shrim is also a problem, but Amil is more extreme. An adventurer who travels all over the continent of Arcadia in search of hidden ruins. Amil, which was recorded in the aftermath of the exploration he left in Arpendia, was indeed a dangerous jungle. -Can''t get a sense of direction because of the dense trees. In addition, there are many camouged carnivorous nts among the trees, so if you wander carelessly, you will die. There are many insects that are poisonous enough to kill you with one bite, and if you drink the wrong water, you get sick and die. Oh, the monsters that appear are as strong as if my mother went to America. Overall review of the exploration... Rmended for those who want to lose. Great Forest Amil, where the ecosystem is so dangerous that everything threatens your life the moment you enter it. And as he said, thements were filled with the experiences of those who looked down on Daesurim Amil and stepped in, but then their character died and ess was restricted. -lol. It''s real. After entering, he was beaten to death as a group by the wonseungs he encountered. -I was bitten by an insect, but it was immediately followed by acute poisoning. What is this? -you also? I think I was bitten by a strange snake. -Is this a true story? I went in as a joke, but I didn''t go far, but I lost my way and searched for the exit. Is it just abyrinth? After the deaths of numerous users, the Great Forest was abandoned after being judged to be an impossible area to attack. There was a noisy struggle going on inside, where no traces of people are normally found. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! pujijikjik. Quadduk. A green-skinned ogre that pulls out a huge tree that grows densely around it with one hand, like pulling out a de of grass. He looked at Jae-young, who had invaded his territory, with eyes full of life, and grabbed the tree he had just plucked like a club and lifted it over his head. Ha... that''s really dirty. An area that must be passed through in order to head to the center of Great Forest Amyl. Going through the habitat of those who are very sensitive to their territory is to the point where even Jaeyoung feels annoying. So many ogres were rushing towards Jaeyoung one after another. Wheein. An ogre wielding a wooden stick...no, a giant tree he just pulled out with one hand. Perhaps because of its weight, the tree was flying toward Jaeyoung''s head with a terrifying sound that tore the air. Kwaaang. Dust and wood chips exploded with a tremendous roar. Seeing how they devastated and shattered the dense jungle in an instant, I could see how ignorant the power of the ogre was. Kreurreuk? It was so powerful that if an ordinary human had been hit, it would have gone to theher road without making a sound. However, the ogre made a puzzled expression when he saw Jaeyoung, who was standing still as if he had not suffered even the slightest damage. I missed by just one tick. Jaeyoung smiles and says it''s a waste. At his reaction, the ogre let out a violent scream. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! As if his pride had been hurt, he was about to strike again. However, the bow in Jaeyoung''s hand was being pulled hard, aiming for the ogre''s heart. [Skill activates Fatal blow.] [Passive skill Pierce, Pierce, Pierce.'' is activated.] [Ignores opponent''s defense.] Damn. An arrow of magical power that activates a skill and condenses powerful power. The arrow flew at the speed of ab and hit the ogre''s heart exactly. Kreuk? At that moment, the ogre''s chest was punched in an exact circle. Seeing this, he put on an expression of disbelief and copsed, holding onto the fountain of blood pouring down with his hand. Cheerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr An ogre that instantly turns to gray. Due to its huge body, the surroundings were covered with dust. Haa.... This probability consumption is no joke..... Jae-young, who received an enormous amount of probability of 1 million. However, since he had to maintain his strength in both the Great Desert Shurim and the Great Forest Amyl, his probability was being gnawed away to a level that could not be ignored. I can''t help it. But thanks to that, you were able toe in safely until now, right? Thats true again... As El said, it would have been impossible toe this far if it wasnt for the Spirituality skill. It wasn''t just because of the monsters, but because of the trees growing so densely that one couldn''t even tell them apart. This made it possible to lose one''s sense of direction at the slightest distraction and to be unable to discern the ce one had just passed. [You can go a little further from here. Then the vige of the elves will appear.] That is why Jae-young specially summoned the spirits of the elves and tried to guide them on the way to their vige. But surprisingly, the souls of the elves did not exist in the heavens. When elves die, they dont go to heaven or hell. Everyone goes to the spirit realm. What are you talking about....? Um... its been like that since the beginning, right? Anyway... I don''t have an elf soul, but there are people who have had a close rtionship with them. [Shrine Emilia.] Emilia was an excellent archer that even the elves acknowledged. Fortunately, she had extensive knowledge of the Amil area, so she was able to navigate without difficulty under her guidance. [If you''vee this far, you should be able to go through it alone without difficulty. Since this is the territory of the elves, there are no dangerous monsters around.] Oh, is that so? [Um...if I ever meet the elves, could you please do me a favor?] Emilia said in a cautious voice that she had something to ask Jaeyoung. At those words, Jaeyoung tilted his head and asked. ask? What request? [Hmm.... If there is still an elf named Pale'' alive, please kill that cub as painfully as possible.] ..... It''s okay to lose and put your life on hold.] Hearing Emilia''s request, Jaeyoung ruminated once again. Angels and celestial beings that could be called line icons. That they are not as good as you think, and that it is a ce full of crazy children who are sometimes worse than devils. Chapter 95 Chapter 95 The tough elves (1) Shrine Emilia. The time she was active on the continent of Arcadia was when a bloody tribal war broke out between Dwarves and Elves. Keugh...... These damn humans! To be on the side of those inferior elves! Fuck. Who is inferior to the inferior? You dwarf shit sack! Dwarves who still speak out of character, elves who burn their fighting spirit in their wide-area aggro, and humans who are looking around for something to eat. Although humans were on the side of the elves, ironically, the elves didn''t like humans that much. Uhh... Anyway, human greed knows no bounds... It''s disgusting. Although they empower us, they are too shallow a race to get close to. Contrary to the lofty goal of the Elves and Dwarves, who fight for the fate of their race, humans who are thoroughly interested only in plundering equipment made by the Dwarves. There was no way the elves could pay attention to him as he was not interested in the ancestral rites and was only salivating at the sacrificed rice. But...it''s fortunate that not all humans are like that. There are very...very few, but there are those with justice and dignity. Elves who gossip about humans. One of them nced at Emilia walking from afar and muttered, And all the other elves nodded as if they agreed. Of course, if only people like Emilia existed, humans would be a decent species... It''s really unfortunate that Emilia was born as a human. It would have been nice if I had been born as an elf. Reddish hair. Emilia with freckles all over her face. She was in on the outside and looked like she would be seen in any farm vige, but her archery skills were so great that even the elves praised her. Tuung. puck. She saved countless lives of elves in danger, disying a level of uracy that makes it safe to say that one arrow equals one dwarf life. As such, she was one of the very few humans who were recognized by the elves. Our elves present you, Emilia, with the title of honorary elf. Although you are human, we acknowledge your merits and allow you to live harmoniously with us in the bosom of great nature. So, after the war, Emilia was given the title of honorary elf by the elves. And they were able to stay and live with them at the ce where the world tree rests. I did it...finally...!?'' The day Emilia was recognized as a neighbor by the elves, she was overjoyed. It wasn''t because the war ended, or because they were recognized, or because they were able to live in their territory. That''s why she''s so happy... Congrattions Emil. Pale, an elf who turns all the men around him into squid with his curly, handsome appearance. The reason Emilia was happy was actually that she could live with the man she fell in love with at first sight. I hope to see you more often in the future Not asrades on the battlefield, but as neighbors. Pale hands you flowers as a sign of congrattions with a smile that makes you fall in love just by looking at them. Upon receiving it, Emilia said with a blushing face and a very happy smile. Yes! Oh, good luck in the future! I am. She is revered as an evil angel by the dwarves and a hero called Shingu by elves and humans. But people didn''t know. In other words, the shrine maiden Amelia was born as a human who had fallen in love and struggled to win that love. * * * Emilia, who wholeheartedly guided me to the ce where the world tree slept in the vige of the elves. Jaeyoung couldn''t help but be embarrassed by her sudden request. So... the person you fell in love with, named Pale, was attached to other elves other than you... You mean this? [joy! If I were just an elf, would I do this? It''s not just elves, they''re elves!] Emilia emphasizes plural. To quote her words, it is said that an author named Pale, who is innocent even if beaten to death, enjoyed a dissolute life against at least 6 elves. [Do you know how painful it was every time I turned my gaze to others, unaware of my sincere love, without even thinking about the grace that saved my life from the dwarves? By the way...... After I died, that bastard uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh are the bastards, are you)], Emilia talked for a long time about the sights she had witnessed before and after she died. After talking about how much of a bastard the author of Fail was, Emilia finally said what she wanted. [So...if you see that fail, can you please avenge me instead? I don''t even want to kill him. Just beat it up and kill half of it. I''ll be satisfied with that much.] A request that is not good enough for a great man or hero who has ascended to heaven. I don''t know how sincere she is in her heart, but a window appears in front of Jaeyoung as if she''s really serious. [The quest Revenge of a woman with resentment'' has been created.] [Do you ept the quest Revenge of a woman with resentment''? Y/N] [Revenge of a woman holding a grudge] Didn''t it be said that if a woman holds a grudge in May, a cold wave blows? Even after death, Emilia kept an eye on her partner and nurtured resentment and resentment. Give Pale the Mace of Justice on her behalf. [Conditions for sess] - Make the elf Pale'' dead or dying. A situation where a quest to search for a real fail was created. Jaeyoung doesn''t know what to do about it. While staring at the quest window in bewilderment, El sighed, shook his head, and murmured. Ugh, that''s why I''m telling you not to have sex with people of different races... What do you mean by that? After hearing El''smentation, Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled expression on his face. In the first ce, elves do not have the concept of love and marriage like humans do. The lifespan of the original body is long, and there is no concept that you have to be faithful to only one person like humans. what.......? Elves, who live close to a thousand years, live 10 times longer than a single human can live, so their perspectives are very different from humans. And El, listening to Emilia''s story, rather than being angry or feeling sorry for her, said with an expression of iprehensibility as if that was wrong. Pale is an elf. And even though Emilia has the strange title of honorary elf, she is still human. You can''t criticize and resent an elf for being an elf'' by using human standards. The elf was an elf. Jaejoong, who heard those words, nodded his head involuntarily. However, as if Emilia didn''t want to admit such a fact, she whimpered for a long time and continued to talk with El before speaking in a sullen voice. [Hey...... I''m sorry. I asked for too much. But I don''t have the confidence to face him again. From now on, there won''t be much difficulty in reaching their vige without my help, so could you please send me back to heaven?] [The subject of the quest has changed his mind.] [The quest Revenge of a Woman with Resentment'' has been deleted. It''s done.] I don''t know exactly what conversation I had with El, but Emilia asked me to send her back,pleting the quest as if it had been resolved. At her words, Jaeyoung hurriedly nodded and said, not wanting to miss the opportunity. huh? Oh sure. Of course it should. Now that they have reached the entrance of the elven vige, there is no need to exhaust their probabilities while maintaining their strength. Jaeyoung hurriedly canceled the spirit because he did not know what would happen if he took her full of resentment to the elves'' vige. Thank you for guiding me......then go back and rest. [No...... It''s been a while since I''ve seen the outside, so it''s nice...] With those words, Emilia returns to heaven again. After confirming that her presence hadpletely disappeared from his body, Jaeyoung looked at L and shook his head. Wow... I really can''t call that person out again. No matter how much he felt betrayed, if he even asked to kill his ex-husband, he would have reached the bottom. It was to the point where I wondered how such a crazy person could belong to the heaven world. We know that her condition is unstable. However, the feats she umted during her lifetime were enough to ascend to the heavens. The problem arises after they belong to us. It was only after her death that Emilia was reborn as an incarnation of mad revenge while watching her ex-husband stalking other female elves. Elle muttered with a puzzled expression, as if she was having a bit of a headache because of her. Is there such a case...? Yes. It''s because the human soul is not only possible when we are alive. In Emilia''s case... it happened because she couldn''t ovee her lingering attachment to her current life even after she died, but other than that madness, she never did anything that was particrly problematic, so it''s ambiguous to punish her. An existence like a time bomb that even the angels are watching closely. Looking at that, it seemed that the angels also had their own difficulties. Anyway... please remove that person from the list of spirits. I''m afraid of what I''m going to do. Do not worry. In the first ce, it wasn''t even on the list of spirits. He was the only soul with a deep friendship with the elves and knew the geography well, so I brought him specially. L says that he knows it too and tells him not to worry too much. As he was talking with her and slowly advancing deep into the elves'' realm, an arrow suddenly flew andnded right in front of Jaeyoung''s feet. Poo-wook. A warning shot full of the meaning of a warning, as if telling us not toe any closer. And around Jaeyoung, he began to feel the rapid movement of nimble signs. And the elves who showed themselves in all directions, drawing a lot of bowstrings. Among those who surrounded Jaeyoung, the one who seemed to be the leader shouted with a wary look in his eyes. Stop moving, human! If you do nonsense, I''ll turn you into a hedgehog right away! Even though they didn''t do anything, the elves pointed arrows at them from the first meeting and growled in a menacing tone. At the hostile attitude no different from that of the dwarves, Jaeyoung muttered with an expression of absurdity. what.......? Aren''t humans and elves friendly? Humans who teamed up with elves hundreds of years ago for themon enemy of dwarves. However, the reactions of the elves seemed to be as hostile to humans as the dwarves, if not more. Are elves and humans friendly? At Jaeyoung''s words, L spits out a sneer as if mocking him. She said as she looked at the elves who threatened Jaeyoung with arrows. At that time, I didn''t have enough hands, so I just hung out with humans, but elves don''t like humans too much. what? no why...? At L''s words that he hates humans, Jaeyoung asked if humans did anything wrong. However, El''s answer was absurd. That''s it... Humans are mostly ugly. what......? From the point of view of the elves, most humans are just squid. Very few humans even had looksparable to elves...but honestly, they''re all ugly, right? It was. If the dwarves were racially discriminatory, the elves were superficialists who never lost to them. In the end, humans are only inferior to dwarves and elves. Jaeyoung, who was imprisoned by the elves, shouted in bewilderment at the setting of these insane alien races. Fuck, then there are no normal bastards, right? What kind of guy made this shit setup? Arcadia, a dirty world where people are discriminated against if they are ugly. Jaeyoung realized it again today. That this game is an X-like game whose developers are insane. Chapter 96 Chapter 96 The tough elves (2) Sand of Forge, a huge city of dwarves nestled deep in the desert. Where Tree Rest is a haven for elves hidden in the dense jungle. The elves and dwarves were living quietly, hiding their nests from the outside world and building their own world. move fast! The elves menacingly push Jae-young away and take him somewhere. The ce where they stopped with Jaeyoung, who seemed to be ready to turn them into hedgehogs if they did something stupid, was a small clearing in the jungle where a dry tree stood. what is this...? A small clearing suddenly appeared without warning in the dense jungle. And in the middle of it stands a barren old tree. And the leader of this group of elves, so naturally, approached the old tree, put his hand on it, and began to recite something in an unknownnguage. Cuckoo coo. And at that moment, the old tree began to twist with a bizarre sound. Jaeyoung opened his mouth in wonder as he looked at the huge hole made at the end of the strange twist. What are you doing! Can''t you get in quickly? A huge, unknown hole. Because of the elves who kept pushing into it, Jaeyoung had no choice but to hurriedly step forward even with a suspicious look on his face. Jae-young passed through a hole in an old tree. He couldn''t help but marvel at the sight unfolding inside. Wow...... A sight that makes me whistle. An endless green forest full of scents. In the center of the forest was a tree of unconventional size. A tree that stretched out through the clouds without knowing its end. While Jaeyoung was in a state of fascination while looking at it, he began to hear various notification sounds. [Discovered an undiscovered area.] [Legendary achievement. You first discovered Where Tree Rest, the resting ce of the elves.] [Report your findings to your kingdom to receive a huge reward.] [ Intelligence has increased by 10.] [The efficiency of archery has increased slightly . [ Affinity with nature increases slightly.] [Affinity with Schat spirits has been added.] The city where elves live... No, the ce where the natural world tree sleeps. With the reward for being the first to find it, another wave of messages followed. [Mythical Achievement I witnessed the world tree that is only talked about in legends and tales.] [Obtained the title Those who witnessed the myth''.] [Maximum HP is permanently increased by 1000.] [Affinity with nature is reduced. It rises dramatically.] [If you report the existence of the World Tree, the entire continent will be astonished at your feat.] The World Tree. In other words, Yggdrasil. Like the popr legend about the World Tree, Arcadia''s World Tree had a simr setting. [In the beginning, there was a huge tree supporting Arcadia. That tree loves all life,poses nature, and loves all things in the world with benevolence and agape love. It provided shade to take a rest from, and fruits to quench hunger and thirst. Therefore...] The World Tree, which is also mentioned as a myth in Arcadia''s history books, is the root that supports the whole of Arcadia, and it is nature itself that forms a harmonious ecosystem. The World Tree, revered as a mother by elves and held sacred. And the elves living in nests around them. Although Jaeyoung expected a vige of elves, he never imagined that there would be even a world tree mentioned in myths in history, so the surprise he felt was even greater. Wow.......what is this....... Jaeyoung muttered in a daze with his mouth open because he witnessed something amazing that he hadn''t even thought of. He looked at L as if he knew this, and she smiled in Jaeyoung''s eyes. sure. Of course I knew. Didn''t I tell you? Dex-sama said that if you enter the vige of elves, you will surely have no choice but to do what I ask. That means... L speaks as if he expected all of this. However, before he could talk to her further, Jaeyoung had to be weed (?) by the elves gathered in a clearing that looked like a za. human......? How can this be human? Mom, that person is so ugly. Shh. Kanna-ya, you can''t see things like that. don''t look why? If you see such an ugly human, will Kanna be a bad elf? Elves whispering to each other with expressions as if they were seeing monkeys in a zoo. In addition, a small and cute elf named Kanna was having a conversation with an elf who looked like a mother, straightly plunging a fact assault into Jaeyoung''s chest with pure eyes. Well then. If you see something like that, you be a bad elf. Whoa........I get it. Then I won''t see you. okay. Our Kanna is a kind elf who doesn''t look at ugly things like that. At times like that, you have to hit honey chestnuts hard on your head for being rude, but you can''t do that. It was the moment when I could understand why elves were so obsessed with their appearance. But why did youe to our vige? don''t you know Couldn''t the rangers have brought them here for a reason? The elves look at Jaeyoung with curiosity rather than the wary rangers. As they murmured and talked among themselves, an elf broke through the crowd. omg! is the queen Did youe all the way here yourself? because of humans? Melissa, Queen of the Elves. She has a more dignified appearance than any other elf. You are a human who entered the forest of the beginning and wanders around looking for our territory. Melissa muttered as if she had seen everything from the beginning. At her words, El whispered in a small voice. He must have been watching Dex the whole time. Through the spirits of the forest, everything that happens in here enters her. Dex, who had been in her sensory ever since he set foot in the forest, was looking at him with a curious look. Let me ask you one thing. The archery used to deal with monsters... Where did you learn it? Emilia, who was called the shrine. Her archery was greatly influenced by the elves as she fought through the battlefield. That''s why Melissa, who was watching Dex, realized that his archery skills were infused with the unique skills of elves, so she deliberately brought him to the vige. And Jaeyoung answered that question with just one word. Emilia. Startle. At the mention of her name, the elves who gathered to watch Jaeyoung and the rangers who were tying him instinctively flinched without realizing it. Even Melissa''s expression slightly distorted, but she smiled a little and spoke to the rangers who were holding Jaeyoung tightly. Please release it at once. I will talk separately. W Queen, if it''s Emilia...... The rangers hesitate to release the captivity despite her queen''s words. Their faces were vividly expressed as if they were worried about an emergency. However, Melissa looked at Jaeyoung with strange eyes and said. Don''t worry about me. I know what your concerns are. The rangers, hesitant about her assertion, release Jae-young''s restraints. Melissa looked at Jaeyoung, who had be free, and said with a smile. Follow me. Let''s talk in a quiet ce. Melissa started to lead somewhere with the words to follow. Jaeyoung walked behind her and tilted his head at the bizarre reaction the elves had just shown. L Do you know anything about Emilia? Hmm... I don''t know much about the reputation among the elves either. okay......? It just wasn''t a favorable feeling at all... rather than that... fear. When the elves mentioned Emilia''s name, their reactions bordered on fear. Emilia is said to have dedicated her life to serving the elves. However, when Jae-young felt a sense of alienation and was puzzled by the reaction of those who were reluctant to even mention her name, Melissa guided Jae-young to her ce. It''s Emilia... I''ve never heard of her having a separate human apprentice. As soon as she entered the residence, Melissa raised doubts about being Emilia''s disciple. However, Jaeyoung said calmly. Well... He passed away hundreds of years ago, so I didn''t learn from him myself. I just knew that it was the archery he invented. Well... Considering the extremely short lifespan of humans, that''s probably the case... Humans die without being able to ovee the time of less than a hundred years. That''s why, unless Emilia, who died hundreds of years ago, reincarnated again, Melissa''s face was relieved because there would be no disciples who learned directly from her. May I ask you one question? Sure. What are you curious about? Emilia: What kind of person is she, why does everyone react reluctantly? As far as I know, I know that she is one of the few humans that the elves have recognized as a close friend... Contrary to historically known facts, Emilia does not seem to be treated very favorably by the elves. In response to Jaeyoung''s question about what had happened, Melissa said with a look on her face that she wanted to know what to say about this. Emilia... That person... It''s a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of yes......? The unrecorded secret story of her being praised as a hero among humans, the protector of the elves. They came vividly out of Melissa, Queen of the Elves. This elf, that elf, as long as they were good-looking, all of them would be scolded, and if there were elves who seemed to bepetitors, there were dozens of elves who shed tears because they were jealous,peted, and interfered with them. He went around as if he wanted to dominate all the male elves. In particr, the obsession he had with the elf named Pale was frighteningly severe. I still remember the day when I went to him drunk and threatened to shoot him with an arrow if I didn''t marry him. Melissa shook her head and murmured, with a traumatized face as if remembering a Christmas nightmare. Emilia''s depravity that flowed from her mouth was so severe that her jaw dropped open just by hearing it. [I mean. uh? Do you know how long I''ve been spotting you? From now on you are mine Just turn your eyes to the other guy. Got it?] Emilia whispered all sorts of threats in Pale''s ear, smelling of alcohol. Facing her threat, Fail shuddered and had no choice but to enter Emilia''s forcibly married life. And the poor elf was able to return to a normal elf life only after she could not ovee the flow of time and died. Um...... that''s right. Even after death, Emilia, who was not able toe to her senses, still asks for revenge on the elf named Pale, just like the evil shemitted while alive. As he listened to Melissa''s words, Jaeyoung''s doubts about how she was able to go to heaven deepened. Because of her, I also had a lot of headaches. She came to me for flirting with Pale and caused such a stir that I waited another 40 years for her to die. yes......? What is that word...? At herst words, Jaeyoung''s face was colored with absurdity. Melissa, the Queen of the Elves. She, too, was one of those who ate together with Emilia''s husband, Pale. Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Elves with Disgusting Personality (3) Melissa, the Queen of the Elves. She was the highest authority of the elves, the leader of the entire race, and at the same time, an excellent archer and a spiritist who was loved by the spirits. Thinking of Emilia, who was going crazy at the time... I, too, suffered from a deep sense of skepticism about the hidden nature of human beings. The reason why the other elves became more wary of humans is probably because they''ve experienced being victimized by her once. However, Emilia''s depravity while living the rest of her life in the vige of elves was so serious that even she was severely burned by Emilia, who showed terrible indulgence. Even today, hundreds of yearster, there are people who cause PTSD just by thinking about her. That''s right... I didn''t know that at all. After all, history only illuminates the bright side. The part that no one wants to know about, Emilia''s terrible jealousy and desire for dominance arepletely unknown to humans. is that so? I used techniques very simr to Emilia''s, so I was worried that I might be a human who came to avenge her, but... I guess it was useless. Looking at Jaeyoung, who seemed to know nothing about Emilia, Melissa''splexion became rxed as if she was fortunate. Without knowing that Emilia''s obsession with granting quests to avenge herself until death has not changed at all. If you have nothing to do with Emilia... why the hell are you looking for us? For hundreds of years, no one has prated the treacherous Great Forest and reached our elven realm. Jaeyoung doesn''t show much interest in Emilia. If so, Melissa couldn''t understand why the hell they hade to their territory on their own. However, Jaeyoung gave her something like that. Oh that''s because of this. What is this....? Jaeyoung takes out a scroll and hands it over. Melissa took the scroll from him, unfolded it, checked the title, and put on a puzzled expression. A trade agreement to establish regr trade routes...? Melissa makes a hard expression just by looking at the title. she said, refolding the scroll as if it wasn''t worth reading any further. You mean you want to enable human trade? Were you a merchant, not an archer? Um.....well...? I''m not a merchant, but I''m not an archer either........ The Bard of Anarchy. Although his name is a kind of bard, Jae-young doesn''t have any musical instruments to y, let alone sing. That''s why he was called a bard wherever he went, so he was at a loss whenever someone asked for a job. I''m sorry, but if you''re here for this offer, I''ll have no choice but to decline. We won''t be doing business face-to-face with humans again. Melissa refuses so firmly. In response to her reaction, Jaeyoung spoke in a calm tone. I''m not trying to make a deal with a human. I beg your pardon......? Please read to the end. Who is thest person to sign it? How to read the original contract carefully to the end. After seeing the title, Melissa opened the agreement again at Jaeyoung''s words and saw the signature written at the bottom of the scroll, and made a surprised expression. Dwarf Chieftain? A trade agreement signed by all the Senators of the Dwarves'' city of Sands of Forge and Chieftain Altair. When a whole bunch of unexpected dwarves popped out, Melissa''s eyes bloomed for the first time. From what I''ve learned, wars fought hundreds of years ago weren''t exactly a truce. It is said that after falling into a lull at some point, without any contact with each other''s territory, they cut off exchanges and subtly fell into the current state... Is that correct? Melissa did not answer Jaeyoung''s question. He was intently concentrating on reading the contents of the scroll. We dere an official end to the war between the Dwarf and Elf ns, and prohibit insulting words and behavioral discriminatory treatment of each other''s races. With this agreement, we seek peace between the two races and spare no effort to form friendly rtions between them. Melissa mumbled the phrase several times, as if she couldn''t believe it even after seeing it again. She nced at Jaeyoung and said. .......The dwarves, who are the racial supremacists, made this proposal first? Dwarves who usually say that they are inferior and live with all sorts of discriminatory remarks. Melissa couldn''t believe that they hade forward with a proposal to ban abusive and discriminatory behavior in the first ce. However, Jaeyoung looked at her as if he was dumbfounded and asked again. The elves I felt were also not easy, right? Obsessing over looks is more than a dwarf. ...... At Jaeyoung''s words, Melissa closed her mouth as if she had nothing to say, and pretended to read the scroll again, coughing. And as he read one phrase, he made a puzzled expression. If you look here, the items you want to trade are...... Branches of the World Tree and the fruit wine we made? Oh, and I heard that it would be nice if things like spirit stones and wing powder of fairies were also possible? As Melissa looked over the proposal, she was deeply troubled. It''s as if she''s weighing whether this deal will ultimately benefit the elves. But soon, with a dark expression, he handed the scroll to Jaeyoung and said. I''m sorry, but I don''t think I can ept this offer. is that so......? If you don''t like a trade item, you can adjust it....... sorry, but that''s not the problem. It''s just that we elves don''t have enough energy. If you can afford it... that problem... doesn''t seem like a problem that humans should be aware of. When you''re done with your business, let''s go back. The rangers will guide you back to where you were. Melissa finally refuses and issues an order to celebrate. In response to her reaction, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoung. [The peace agreement with the elves has been broken.] [The quest Peace Delegation'' has failed . ] quest. Because of this one, she went to the ce where the elves lived and went through hardships, but Melissa firmly refused Jae-young''s proposal, as if something was wrong. But the reason is not even revealed. As Jaeyoung narrowed her eyes, feeling a strange sense of incongruity, L whispered next to her. did i say You''ll have no choice but to listen to my request. You... Michael, smiling as if he foresaw this situation. The little angel asked Jaeyoung with an evil smile like a devil. How would you like to hear my offer? L rustling in front of an irresistible bait. Jaeyoung knew about her temptation but had no choice but to bite the bait. In order to get Melissa''s mind back, who wants to kick him out right now. * * * World Tree. This gigantic tree, which has existed since the beginning of time, has supported Arcadia by being admired by many races living in Arcadia, including elves in the past. Then one day, the bloody war that hit Arcadia was the Holy Demon War. It was the World Tree that saved the lives of countless people who were bleeding and dying in the brutal war where angels and demons fought fiercely on the stage of Arcadia. [Deration of the realm.] A world tree that has established an absolute peace zone by utilizing its authority. Children hiding in the shade of such a world tree, holding their breath, waiting for the war of transcendent beings to end. The World Tree warmly embraced them and took care of them as best they could. [Don''t be afraid, my children. You are safe as long as you are under my shade.] However, the war between the heavens and the demons risking their fortunes. In the tragedy of the war, which reached its extreme, the World Tree was also severely damaged. Muspelheim emits a sacred fire that burns demons. Deathbringer, the divine god of the underworld, that engulfs everything in darkness and corrupts it. Even the gods that symbolize each world appeared in Arcadia, and one of the gods, the Deathbringer, got stuck in the wooden pole of the World Tree for some reason. [Ah ......... This can be .......] The power of the death bringer that corrupts everything. The World Tree did its best to suppress it. In the end, the World Tree seeded in sealing the power of corruption with all its might, but in return, the World Tree had no choice but to go into an endless sleep. So... ever since then, the elves have been busy protecting the World Tree. In particr, the ce where the World Tree sleeps here is thorough in hiding its existence at all times. That''s why I never try to do anything that risks exposing the location of the World Tree to the outside world. The world tree, unable to carry out its mission of self-defense, was in a situation where the elves'' protection was absolutely necessary. That''s why the elves were more reluctant to expose their base than any other race. Maybe that''s why, even though they were humans who had a cooperative rtionship with the elves, there was no record of this ce to be found. Now I get it......Your proposal is to destroy the Deathbringer that put the World Tree to rest? Yes. L smiles evilly as if he was expecting that. At her reaction, Jaeyoung said with an absurd expression. how......? I don''t think demonic magic is something that can be destroyed so easily...? At that question, El flicked his hand and handed him a sword. This should be enough to destroy without too much trouble. This.....? The sword L gave to Jaeyoung. It was the end of eternity used topletely annihte the evil Lich Argamer. [End of Eternity - Myth] A celestial miracle that contains the nature of destruction to the limit. It was El who casually handed over a mythical-grade weapon as if he were taking out a japtem, but considering Tan''s reaction when he took it out in the past, it was clear that he was exhausting his tremendous probability. Did I tell you before? Seeing Jaeyoung''s expression, L seemed to know what he was thinking. However, she smiled strangely and tried to look calm as if nothing was wrong. If you can fuck that damn cub, you will not choose the means and methods. It was a moment when she could feel her tenacity to shove huge, thick candy into Tan''s face, even if the root of the celestial pir was pulled out. Whoops. Resonance trembles as she holds the heavenly magic in her hands. And at that moment, Jaeyoung could sensuously feel the strong energy rushing through his whole body. [The End of Eternity detects a great evil that needs to be destroyed.] [All conditions for the hidden quest are fulfilled.] [The quest World Tree stained with evil'' has been created.] Corruption continues to erupt as per the original flow. The world tree, which has to suppress the energy of the world and fall into endless sleep. However, at this very moment, the flow of the huge narrative that was already set in Arcadia began to twist. Michael''s intense tenacity to fuck Tan at all costs. The job of being a wanderer in a troubled world that can turn any flow as long as it guarantees probability. Whoops. A celestial miracle that has the power of destruction and is said to be the end of eternity. And at this moment, Alice decided the theme of the new Arcadia narrative. [Act. 2 The appearance of a new heterogeneous race] Chapter 98 Chapter 98 The tough elves (4) Queen Melissa of the elves. She was troubled for a moment at the suggestion of an ugly human who suddenly came to her. Friendship with the dwarves.......'' Those who gnashed their teeth and pledged revenge, saying that they were enemies of the crippled world. That''s why she couldn''t imagine that they would first hand over the hand of reconciliation, so she was terribly surprised to see the signatures of the Dwarf leaders written on the scroll. It''s true that we can''t continue to be hostile like this, but......'' Melissa longs for peace inside. However, he had no intention of opening the door to interact with the dwarves. The more exchanges continue, the more the location of the world tree, which has been thoroughly hidden as a secret, has no choice but to spread to the world. That''s why she rejected Jae-young''s proposal to prevent the worst that might happen. I''m sorry, but I don''t think I can ept this offer. Melissa resolutely refuses under a single word. And she ordered the rangers to get the humans out again. Jae-young leaves surrounded by the fierce Rangers. But it didn''t take long for Melissa to see him again. ......After all, he wasn''t an ordinary human. An ordinary human being summoned and sitting in front of her again. However, the sword in his hand as he sat there with a sullen expression was by no means ordinary. Whoops. A pure white sword that resonates with eternity. Melissa knew exactly what that sword was. The End of Eternity...Do you know why the sword is on this continent...or in your hand? It is inferior to Muspelheim, the symbol of heaven, but the end of eternity is also one of the miracles of heaven. That''s why the huge divinity and divinity that zed within him were too powerful for a single human being to dare to handle. Well... I think you can see that it has a bit of a connection with the heavens. I don''t think it''s a level that I''m a bit kite...? If the pope, the saint, or the holy knights closest to them had it, they would probably have been a little persuasive, but the human in front of Melissa didn''t show any divine power or faith. No matter how you look at it, you are just an ordinary human being. But he asked her very confidently. That problem...isn''t it something the elves need to know about? Jae-young repeats what she said a moment ago. At his words, Melissa shut her mouth with a confused expression on how to respond to this. And Jaeyoung tried to negotiate with her again. Change the requirements a bit. What are the requirements...? It''s not that he''s hesitant to interact with the dwarves right now, or to be more precise, he''s hesitant to expose the existence of this ce to others. Is it because of the world tree? Jaeyoung asks as if he knows everything. At his question, Melissa''s face was stained with astonishment. He was so surprised that his usual calm appearance was gone and he even stuttered and was agitated. How the hell did that...? The Holy Demon War that took ce in the distant past, there was definitely not a single person who could properly remember this, especially the current state of the World Tree, so when the reason Melissa had suffered a little while ago came out of Jaeyoung''s mouth, she couldn''t keep her mouth shut. . Sign a peace treaty with the dwarves and start friendly exchanges with them. If you promise to do so... Uhhh. The end of eternity that resonates with a brilliant light. Jaeyoung, who fixed it, looked at Melissa''s round eyes and said. I will set youpletely free from the darkness that continues to encroach on the World Tree. The World Tree is trying its best to keep it green in the past, but its full vitality is gradually waning as each day passes. The fate of not only the Elves but also the entirety of Arcadia is bleak. And in such a situation, Jaeyoung''s proposal was a condition that Melissa, the queen of the elves, could not refuse. [Negotiation skill is activated. Activation target Melissa, Queen of the Elves.] [Melissa suggested exactly what she wanted.] [Additional bonus target feels good about negotiations.] [Adds an additional effect to the yer''s trust.] And the 6 that activates at the same time Rank negotiation skills. Melissa did not recognize it, but due to the effect of the skill, she had a positive view of the transaction itself with Jaeyoung. If... as a human being, if you, as I just said, remove the root of the evil that is eating away at the World Tree, and if you free our mother from that eternity of pain and make here back to us. ... A wish that elves only dreamed of. At Jaeyoung''s proposal to fulfill the long-cherished wish of a race that never seemed toe true, Melissa threw off the lofty self-esteem she had as an elf queen and bowed her head. In the name of Melissa de Artemis, the Queen of the Greenleaf n, I ept your offer. * * * World Tree. As if the myth of a huge tree supporting Arcadia was not false, the world tree boasted an overwhelming size that would make your jaw drop just by looking at it. Jaeyoung looked up at the gigantic tree as he approached it, and muttered as he saw the tree that had risen beyond the clouds. Wow..... I thought it was big even when I saw it from a distance, but seeing it from the front, it''s really no joke. The World Tree has apletely different feeling from seeing it from afar. It was a green tree pulsating with vitality, but as he got closer, Jae-young saw the dying parts of the World Tree that had been dyed ck all over the body. You mean this happened because of that demonic sword, the Deathbringer? Deathbringer, a god of the demon world that has the power to corrupt everything and contaminate everything with darkness. I suddenly wondered why such a god of the devil world got stuck in the world tree, but El seemed not interested in such trivial things at all. excuse me! There''s a weapon for those damn bats! L shouted with his eyes shining as if he had been waiting for this moment. She, who had only shown a calm appearance until now, was shouting with a flushed face as if she were excited. Wait a minute... Contrary to El''s desire to strike the end of eternity right away and destroy Deathbringer, Jaeyoung took his time and took out something. Mr. Dex...? Why is that...? When Jaeyoung suddenly took out the mask of the deceiver and started putting it on, L made a puzzled expression. [The false existencepletely covers the original identity.] Jaeyoung, who has transformed into a level 52 warrior, Choco Paijoa, while hiding his true identity. He smiled at El, who was looking at him with a strange expression. Where else can you find such a good sight? This is the angle of Arpendia. At the same time, Jaeyoung activated the live streaming system. And the viewers who starteding in within seconds. - Oh what? A surprise live broadcast? dog profit!! -2 sucker! - Oh what. I thought I was number one. - Choco Pie hyung! what else are you doing today? The chat window was already buzzing with hundreds of people flocking to it in less than a minute. Looking at it, Jaeyoung was able to realize the tremendous firepower of how many people are essing Arpendia in real time. And Jaeyoung dered to them with an evil smile. nice to meet you. everyone. The content I''m going to do today is saving the world tree. -??? - World tree? What is it? - what? is it a concept? -Hyung, please exin a bit more...... How do we know if you say it like that...... Viewers who don''t understand what he says about the world tree out of the blue. However, Jaeyoung ignored their reaction as if he didn''t care. So... shall we begin? Jaeyoung slowly turned his head to look at the world tree. To be precise, it was the sword embedded in the center of the giant pir of the World Tree. -??? What is that huge tree? -World tree? Is it a real world number? -what is that? Can someone please exin? When Jae-young''s eyesight turns, a huge tree appears to the viewers. Seeing that, while they were confused, Jaeyoung jumped up and quickly climbed the wooden pole of the World Tree. Whoops. [The end of eternity detects a huge evil.] [The energy of destruction is condensed during the time of judgment.] The end of eternity senses evil on its own and reacts ordingly when it approaches the ce where the deathbringer, the divine god of the underworld, is embedded. The gigantic divinity emanating from the pure white sword was so intense that even those watching him from afar could hear it. - What is that crazy thing? - Divine power...? Wasn''t he a warrior? Let''s end it in one shot.......'' The Deathbringer stuck in the middle of the wooden pir of the World Tree. Because it was in such an ambiguous position, Jae-young, who leaped with all his might, decided to destroy it with a single knife, and raised the sword above his head and struck it hard. Whoops. At that moment, the power of destruction reached its climax. But at that moment, a strange thing happened. gripping support. [Deathbringer detects a deadly threat.] [Exercises powers for self-protection.] [Urgent quest The Last Stand'' has been created.] Tuquaaang. The dark energy that was instantly condensed around the Deathbringer burst out like an explosion. And Jae-young, who is blown away by the shock wave. He was able to avoid falling death by barely inserting the end of eternity into the pir of the World Tree. Dex! are you okay? El urgently ps his wings and flies in to ask. As if she hadn''t anticipated this situation, there was a look of embarrassment in her eyes, but Jaeyoung muttered with a cough as if he had suffered a major blow. Eh... there''s no way it''ll end easily after all. This kind of shit. Deathbringer, who started defending himself at the moment of desperation, as if the god that represents one system was not just a god. The demonic sword, which had been sleeping deeply in the World Tree for thest years, was slowly pulled out of the World Tree and floated in the air. [Deathbringer has found a host to encroach on.] Ugh. Even just looking at it, the Deathbringer radiates an ominous ck energy and flies quickly somewhere. And the ce where it flew and stuck was the heart of an ogre sleeping peacefully in its territory. - Aaaaaaaaagh! A scream of pain from an ogreing from afar. While he was sleeping, the magic sword that suddenly flew in and was embedded immediately began to radiate full of his energy. Wood Deuk. puddeudeuk. -Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa And in an instant, the ogre begins to show drastic changes, making a bizarre sound that twists its entire body. As if the process was extremely painful, he was screaming all the time, and El''s expression changed seriously as he watched it. Oops...... It''s been a headache... An ogre who became the host of Deathbringer, the god of the demon realm. Deathbringer, who sensed that it was a moment of crisis, was also pouring in all his strength. [The boss monster, the knight of the corrupt demonic sword has been created.] [The knight of the corrupt demonic sword is aiming for the elves who protect the world tree.] The original form is nowhere to be found, and has been transformed into a huge demon with two huge horns sprouting and burning eyes. Ogre. And the viewers who watched it were astonished. - Crazy! What is that? - A boss monster? What is this situation? - Elf? Why is the elf suddenly out of here? Jaeyoung''s second live broadcast thus achieved a historic feat. By setting an unprecedented record in the history of Arfandia, the number of real-time viewers is 20 million. Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Elves with bursts of personality (5) Deathbringer, a sacred weapon representing Pandemonium and Tan''s cherished item. El''s attempt to destroy the sword, which ranks among the mythical items, led to an unexpected situation. Aaaaaaaa! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! [Deathbringer detects a fatal threat.] [Exercises powers for self-protection.] [Urgent quest Last Resistance'' has been created.] Is it because a threat to its existence has entered? As if to show that it was different from a single item, Deathbringer found its own host and started a final resistance. An ogre who was encroached and eaten by the Deathbringer... no, a fallen demonic sword knight. The terrifying demon, which looked terrifying just by looking at it, started destroying everything around it while holding the Deathbringer in its hand. Kwaaang. Quaang. Oh, the devil! Attackmences! Stop it! A huge demon suddenly appeared. The rangers who guarded the elves'' residence saw the evil demon''s appearance and poured arrows and spirit magic without hesitation, but Deathbringer didn''t even dream that they couldn''t deliver any damage. [Kwaaang.] On the contrary, the sphere of darkness that flew to the elves. Fear fell on the faces of the elves as they saw those who were struck and turned ck and copsed. No damage at all...? This cant be... Everyone evacuate! Retreat to the World Tree for now! Absolutely unfavorable situation for elves. The reaction of the viewers who watched all of it on the air was explosive. -World tree? What the fuck is this now? - Crazy hahahahaha. Are you ying the same game? -Where are you? It seems like a very serious situation, but why am I so quiet? -Really. At this level, isn''t it a minimum main scenario level quest? But no notice? -I''m going to ask the customer center right now. wait. Elves and the World Tree. And just by looking at it, an incredibly powerful demon. When the viewers who watched the battle of these three rice cakes were expressing great doubts about the endlessly tense situation, Jae-young said with a puzzled expression. Hmm... I didnt expect this situation...? It is also a god that represents the demon realm. Seeing the Deathbringer making ast-ditch effort as if he would not be taken lightly, El nodded as if agreeing and said. I see... Its like the magic of damned bats who like to be stabbed in the back. What shall I do now...? I don''t think I can handle that either. Jaeyoung''s eyes seemed to be asking for a solution. However, because L had intended all of this, he could not cast Amng'' in response to Jaeyoung''s question. No matter what happened, the annihtion of the elves or the corruption of the world tree was never a good situation from the point of view of the celestial world. I will... How about calling Tan right now? Wouldnt Tan be able to calm it down? Jae-Young''s proposal to bring the owner of the demonic sword who goes crazy. But El shook his head and said, as if he still couldn''t give up his stubbornness. That doesnt work. The reason why those bats can''t y around right now is because they lost their spirits and turned into scarecrows. ...then what are you going to do? Dont do that, Id rather... Instead, L tells us how to deal with this situation. Hearing her words, Jaeyoung asked with an absurd face. No... do I really have to do that? An ignorant method like burning a thatched house to catch a bed bug. But L nodded with a determined look as if it was worth it. I told you before...? I would pay any price to fuck that bat. El''s tenacity to eat taffy like that even if the roots of the pirs of the celestial world were pulled out. Even though it seems to be limited to Tan, Jaeyoung thought while listening to her words of always dreaming of revenge. He said that no matter what happens, you can''t do what you want from the angels. * * * Arcadia Co., Ltd. The most controversial ce in the globalpany responsible for servicing Arcadia, a virtual reality game around the world, was the Korean branch. Director Kang Tae-hoon. Yes... Executive Director. Kwon Myung-han, the executive director in charge of Arcadia''s Korean continent. He asked, looking at his direct subordinate, General Manager Kang Tae-hun, with a tired face. Why do idents happen like this only in our continent, unlike other countries? That''s..... A question from many employees of Arcadia Korea, including Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han. It was to the point where I wondered what the secrets of the branches in other countries were running without any problems. Okay, what are you going to do by talking about things that have already passed... How is the atmosphere downstairs? First of all, there are a lot of responses that say it is unfair, but there seems to be an atmosphere of liking that I have been freed from excessive work.... It is half and half. okay....? Arcadia''s core quests and deprivation of privileges for the main scenario. Manager Kang Tae-hoon, who had informed his subordinates of the fact, told Executive Director Kwon Myung-han about his honest feelings with a relieved expression. What should I do? Its a decision made by the head office. Honestly, if you say that you will develop and apply the scenario yourself, we''re good. To be honest, how much talk has there been inside of us because of the things that keep popping up? All kinds of detailed settings that you don''t know about and countless incidents and idents that ur because of it. Even in the situation of resolving the ident, proper information was not provided, and all kinds of information was covered with ess restrictions, so the development team of the Arcadia Korean branch was in a situation full of unspeakable difficulties and grievances. Anyway, there are a lot of things we didnt understand properly, and even if we tried to take action, we didnt do it due tock of authority. It was better to just let go. Director Kang Tae-hoon speaks as if he is relieved. When he, who is in charge of development of quests and scenarios, said that, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han said with a slightly rxed expression, as if his heavy heart had eased. Kuhmm.... It''s a littleforting to hear you say that. thank god. Um... Executive Director, can I ask you one question? Why but? General Manager Kang Tae-hun, carefully watching him and blurting out his words. At the urging of Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, the story was brought up with difficulty. Uh... thats why everyone is wondering about the future disposition. The department itself has been blown away, so what are you nning to do in the future... Arerge-scale department relocations nned or if there will be a reduction in personnel..... A situation where the department itself was blown away for a bad reason. So, since there were many people who were worried that it might be bloody winds, taking responsibility for this, Manager Kang Tae-hoon carefully brought up the story, wondering if he should prepare for a job change. However, Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, responded with absurdity to his question. hmm? What do you mean? Don''t worry. There will be no redeployment or restructuring. Ah, is that so? There were many employees who were worried that they would be fired.... Thankfully... Instead of that, a new department will be established. I''m going to go as a member of the current department, with you as the Crisis Management Response Team''. yes....? At the words of Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon that he would set up an unheard-of team with the same number of people, Manager Kang Tae-Hoon asked back with a puzzled expression. Due to recent events, there are more and more confused users in Arcadia. As a result, the customer support management team and the entire public rtions team were said to be paralyzed by the explosion ofints. So, I created it because I thought there was a need for a department that would be in charge of work rted to such a specific situation and responding toints. Incident ident in Arcadia. Beginners who died because the slime got stronger, and the vige of beginners destroyed by the Slime King. Starting from that, the Great War of the Bamboo Spear, which is said to be the worst event of the mine ve witch hunt, and the slime war of conquest that urred again. Certain departments were almost dying because of the truly nonstop events. Especially recently, the head of the customer support team copsed from overwork and ended up in the emergency room. Heukheuk... We are humans too. It''s so hard. Please allow me to rest on the weekends even if I dont get off work on time. The situation is so difficult that one employee named Mina at the customer service center posts a tearful appeal on thepany intr. Director Kang Tae-hoon said with a pale face and even a cold sweat at the words of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. That word now... Yes. You and the staff under yourmand will be responsible for all of these tasks from now on. A piece of shit that no one wants and doesn''t want to do. Director Kang Tae-hoon''s face became contemtive at the words of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han that he was in charge of the task, but he could not protest. Whatever it was, the current change didn''t happen because they did well. I believe it will show good performance in the future. Knowing that, let''se up with novel ns on how to respond to future events in Arcadia. Director Kang Tae-hoon went back to the office with a huge poop that he couldn''t even handle how to deal with. Returning to the office, the first thing he saw was a group of subordinates huddled together looking at something on a monitor. What are you all watching right now? uh? Manager, are you here...? what''s this? Real-time video uploaded to Arpendia. Director Kang Tae-hoon, who saw the scene in the video, was astonished. [Kuaaaaaa!] [All attack! You won''t even be able to take a single step into the world tree!] A demon that looks ferocious just by looking at it. A video of arrows and splendid magic from spirits pouring down on that demon. An employee innocently said to Manager Kang Tae-hoon, who lost his soul after seeing it. Chief, the elf side has already been pierced. I''m still figuring out what''s going on, but the elves guarding the world tree are fighting that demon? This is our scenario just smashed. Phew... Really, being deprived of authority is like a move from God? If you were still in charge of that, you would have had to rece all the scenario quests. Is it right? Still, the customer center will be dead. Ugh... dont even talk about that. I''m not really kidding, they say that all phones ring non-stop for a second. Ugh... you wont be reassigned to that department, right? Without even thinking about Director Kang Tae-Hoon''s heart, which had already been burnt to ck. Department members who did not know that this was the shit they had to clean up were talking with innocent faces. And at that moment, a huge beam of light poured from the video they were watching in real time. [Hiahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, a devil screams painful and burns. And the staff froze when they saw something appearing in front of that powerful being that was burning and sitting down as if it had received a huge blow. Eh....? What is that? angel....? A pure white radiance floated above his head. Divine power that is subtle but intense. And even the pure white wings sprouting from his back and the pure white sword he was holding in his hand. Just looking at it, the appearance of an angel who appeared to punish the devil. That time when everyone opens their mouths at the sudden appearance of an angel. said the angel. [Stop resisting like this and quietly die, you fucking bat.] Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Elves with bursts of personality (6) A n that Michael proposed to Jae-young in a situation that arose due to the runaway deathbringer, the divine god of the demon world. It was none other than the direct advent of Michael himself. Please lend me your body for a moment. I think it would be most convenient for me to descend to the minimum level and deal with it myself in the current situation. Are you going to go out on your own? If that happens, wouldnt it be a joke to consume probability? The probability that there are only about 200,000 left now. It is said that he used it only where necessary, but it was a probability that he was showing the bottom because he used it too much, so Jae-young asked with a look of embarrassment at Michael''s words. Rather than that, it is more likely that it will be cheaper to call and block it. Cant we just call Tan? Michael, the final boss of Heaven. Jaeyoung wanted to choose an easier way if possible, because if she descended and yed the game herself, the probability of being charged afterwards would be frightening. However, at his words, L opened his eyes wide and asked what he was talking about. You don''t think you''re going to use Dex-sama''s probabilities right now, do you? huh? wasn''t it? How do I do Advent with that much probability? Its not enough just to show yourself. L''s remark seemed to require more usibility than Jaeyoung imagined. She looked at him as if to reassure him. Do not worry. I nned it myself, and it happened because of it, so I''m going to take care of this time in heaven. There will be no damage to Dex-sama. L says he will take care of everything. At those words, Jaeyoung could only nod his head at the urgent situation in the elf vige. And at that moment, Jaeyoung''s vision began to reverse. [Archangel Michael, the Aspect of Holy Glory, descends on the yer.] [It switches to spectator mode.] His vision blurs with the message that he will switch to spectator mode. And the pouring intense light cluster. Wow. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! While I was briefly blinded by the intense halo of light, I heard a roar like a bomb exploding and a scream of pain. How many seconds have passed? When the temporarily blinded eyes were restored, Jaeyoung and the viewers were all shocked by the scene that took ce in that brief moment. -??? - What is that? -This crazy..... A demon that went on a rampage without taking even a speck of damage from the elves'' attacks. Such a powerful demon sat down on the floor, screaming in agony as the torch burned its entire body. Aaaaaaaaaaaaa! Aagh! [Unbreakable Faith activates.] [Heavenly Holy Justice activates.] [High Hymn of Honor activates.] [All-Prating Truth activates.] [Sublime Sacrifice Justice activates.] [Unturned The holy fire is activated.] ...A feast of all kinds of skills that seem unusual just by hearing their names. At the same time, the end of eternity that was swung at the same time put that powerful-looking demon into a dying state in an instant. -What''s the situation now? -Wow, why the hell is the Shiva angel here? -Choco Pie hyung... What the hell are you doing? White wings sprouted from Jaeyoung''s back. And the viewers who saw the divine power radiating from the whole body like the zing sun were astonished. Of course, it was his own body, but Jaeyoung, who watched everything in a spectator state, was the same. Such madness... that this is the least advent...'' Archangel Michael, Aspect of Holy Glory. She rules the lofty heavens and is the leader of the angels. Although she is now monitoring Tan''s every move and following her under the pretext of being Jae-young''s guardian angel, her divinity was not at a level that anyone could dare to stand against. Whoops. Jae-young felt the difference in ss that he could not dare to touch. While he reflected on how heughed at Tan and Michael every time they had a childish fight like elementary school students, and was amazed at their ridiculous strength, Michael was getting the finishing blow against the Deathbringer. Stop resisting like that and quietly get away, you bastard bat. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa end of eternity. The celestial instrument with the power of destruction condensed its power to the maximum in Michael''s hand and struck it precisely at the center of the Deathbringer''s de. And at that moment, the huge energy released by the collision. Caang. Wow. Discharge of a powerful wave that destroys everything around it with a single impact. But even so, Deathbringer, who was hit by the blow of the end of eternity, was fine. [A fatal threat has been detected.] [Deathbringer goes into defense mode.] Deathbringer realizes that this is a desperate moment for its very existence. The sword hurriedly sucked all the power from the host it created, as if it was desperately fighting against the end of eternity. Kreurreuk ..... Where did the terrifying devils appearance go, and the ogre shrank like a balloon with a hole and died soon after? At the same time, the Deathbringer, which had regained all its strength, cried while emitting a pitch-ck aura that was stronger than before. Woo woo woo. An energy of evil so powerful that even a pope or a saint chosen by God could never prate it. Under normal circumstances, there would be no means to break through and destroy the Deathbringer''s defenses anywhere on the continent of Arcadia. What? Bastards rebel against the subject of des? But unfortunately, Deathbringer met the wrong person even if he met the wrong person. The end of eternity, a god of the celestial world with the nature of destruction. And the ruler of the heavens, Michael. The unbelievablebination of the two was not enough to break through Deathbringer''s desperate space defense. Lets try it once there is no magic sword that wont break after being hit ten times. L grabbed the end of eternity with both hands and began to strike down as hard as he could. Caang. Caang. Caang. Kwaaang. Kwaaang. Kwaaang. A fight between the divine gods representing the two worlds, in which energy that wipes out the surroundings is emitted in all directions with each collision. The wave was so huge that even a huge tree that looked thousands of years old could not ovee the shock wave and copsed. [The power of destruction is activated.] [The energy of the perm of absolute judgment erodes the sword.] However, the Deathbringer, which receives infinite divine power from Michael, cannot ovee the end of eternity. so-so-so-so. In the end, the sword, which received Michael''s divine power to its fullest without even losing its power for defense, soon cracked and shattered. Clink. The pieces of the sword were scattered in all directions with a sound like a ss window being shattered. At the same time, Jaeyoung''s ears started to hear numerous notification sounds. [Mythic feat! Deathbringer, the god of the Pandemonium, has been destroyed.] [The influence of the Pandemonium is reduced by 4.3%.] [ The bnce between good and evil begins to tilt.] [ The title Judge of Evil'' has been acquired.] [The title Heavenly Agent'' has been acquired. has been obtained.] [The Saint Empire and the Holy Church begin to monitor the yer''s progress.] [The quest The Last Resistance has beenpleted.] [ The quest The World Tree, stained with evil has beenpleted.] [The elves'' affinity is at maximum. It rises.] [The title Hero of the Elves'' has been acquired.] [The title Guardian of the World Tree'' has been acquired.] ...Jae-Young, who has achieved the achievement of destroying the sacred spirit representing the Pandemonium. Perhaps because of that, I couldn''t wake up with the pouring rewards and messages, but it was the same for those who watched the broadcast. Especially the employees who somehow had their hands and feet immersed in Arcadia Co., Ltd. That crazy bastard...! Check the relevant information right away! yes....? Manager, are we us? Director Kang Tae-hoon shouted with foam at the mouth as he watched Jae-young destroy the sword. Looking at him, the other employees looked puzzled and asked. That''s also their department, which is currently on standby as the department itself is blown up. Strictly speaking, they couldn''t understand Director Kang Tae-hoon, who reacted so violently that he had no job assigned to them, and the current situation had nothing to do with them. Do you know what I heard about when I went upstairs? ...? Employees still stare at Director Kang Tae-hoon with questionable eyes as if they have not grasped the situation. Looking at them, he announced the relevant facts as if dering. As of the current time, all previous Quest & Scenario Development Teams have been reorganized into a Crisis Management Response Team, and are dedicated to all unusual events urring inside and outside Arcadia. In other words... Director Kang Tae-hoon looks at the culprit of the problem that has appeared on the monitor with a lively look. He said, grinding his teeth so hard that he feared they would break. Thats all shit we have to clean up. yes....? What is that...? Employees who thought they would scatter to other departments. They were obviously surprised because they did not expect that they would reorganize by establishing another department with the same number of personnel. And despaired. So this is all we have to deal with...? They secretly liked that they were freed from that vicious task. However, they had simr thoughts in their hearts in the fact that the dung, which had grown iparablyrger than before, was counting on them to be disposed of quickly. Ah... should I just resign...?'' It was a normal day for the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who are really anxious to leave thepany today. * * * Whew..... Michael returned to his original form as a guardian angel after canceling his spirit. She was fine on the outside, but herplexion was not very good, probably because of the aftermath. are you okay? Honestly, it is a bit burdensome. It''s been a long time since I''ve intervened in Arcadia at this level. gripping support. A strange spark is bursting out around the stretching Michael, as if the aftermath ising due to excessive exhaustion of probability. It was El who seemed to have taken a serious blow, but her face was brighter than ever. But... thank you. Thanks to you, I have fulfilled a long-cherished dream. L flew around and gathered the fragments of the Deathbringer one by one and put them in a small pocket the size of a finger. That time when I was watching with a curious face as therge fragments, whether it was a subspace pocket or not, fit into a small pocket. A pitch-ck hole pierced the air, and a scream filled with anger was heard. hey! You fucking chicken who won''t be satisfied even if you chew on it! uh? Are you here? Tan, full of teas, hurriedly ran after knowing that his favorite soldier, Deathbringer, had been shattered. However, L smiled as if he was happy to see Tan appear and greeted him with a more rxed attitude than ever. You crazy bastard! What were you doing while I was away?! Let''s try this with me right now?! Can I just take this as a deration of war? uh?! As soon as he really arrived, Tan started going crazy to the level of a seizure. However, even though L''splexion was not very good, he ignored the curse of the bullets and all kinds of threats and said with a smile. All-out war? Do you have the confidence to win if the 2nd Holy Demon War is fought in a situation where even the holy spirit has been destroyed? This bastard...! A situation where you can see a situation where the devil grabs your back with real anger. Tan, unable to ovee his anger at L''s words, is trembling. To him, El smiled and threw the bag containing the pieces of Deathbringer in fine detail and said what he really wanted to say. Hey, are you guys excited? Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Aftermath (1) Arcadia Korean branch''s crisis management response team. This newly established department was as busy as its name, so that every day was a departure crisis, and all employees were busy dealing with problems. yes?

Are you talking about the main scenario? It''s not that we''re releasing it, but it''s automatically opened when the set conditions are met... No, even if you say that, we can help...

Even if only one appears in the video, a stimting topic that will go up and down in people''s mouths as a hot topic video for a month. However, Jaeyoung''s video was released with as many as 4 of them mixed with jjamppong. The aftermath that came after it was revealed to the world was so huge that no one could handle it. -Shock! First Reveal of Elves and the World Tree! 10 keywords through video analysis. - A sh between an angel and a demon. What are their true identities and what is behind them? - Rising deity Choco Piezoa. Is he really a level 52 warrior? - Cataclysmic Arcadia. The emergence of heterogeneous dwarves and elves. What about the aftermath? Game article sites that are already flooded with rted content. Thements there were a crucible of chaos due to all kinds of spective content and chirashi. -No, if you go to the Pile Bar with a hammer and say you came to see the dwarves, you''ll be given a dwarf-rted quest? The earthenware pot was almost smashed with a hammer brought by the owner and was banned from entering the ce permanently. What;; -lol. There is aplex about the owner''s height. do you really do that? -No, someone said that the owner there is a half-dwarf. I wondered if it was because of how short he was. -You''re better than me. They said if someone nted an apple tree in front of them, they would give an elf-rted quest, so it seems like I nted 100 apple trees alone in the vige ..... What kind of orchard do you have? There are a lot of really funny people. The people who began to entric with all sorts of fake information in order to obtain information rted to elves and dwarves. However, their dissatisfaction was growing because there was almost no correct information among the information spread on themunity. Chief manager... This is getting more and moreints andints. I think I need toe up with some kind of countermeasures... A sad face from an employee who has already received dozens of rted phone calls. At his words, Manager Kang Tae-hun asked while looking at the people busy walking around on one side. Are you still figuring out the relevant information? We''ve almost confirmed it..... First of all, we''ve heard about the urgent update from the head office. okay....? Bring it over here. Urgent update. A system that actively changes in response torge abnormalities within Arcadia. That''s why checking for emergency updates was the surest way to figure out what had happened. For this reason, Manager Kang Tae-hoon began to check the changes one by one while rummaging through a bundle of papers brought by an employee. A peace treaty signed between elves and dwarves...? Two races establishing friendly rtions and signing a peace treaty? Yes, these are the updates that have already been applied to the system. dwarves and elves. The two races obviously had the worst affinity that could never be reconciled. But what the hell did he do in the game? The affinity between the two was neutral, or exactly lower than neutral, but it was still up to a very good level rather than the level of a crippled enemy. The fact that they ended the war and established friendly rtions with each other was a fact that shocked him. This... If the likeability level goes down like this, the scenario we prepared is... Yes, it also includes content rted to that. The Tribal Wars'' scenario we had scheduled for release in the second half of next year has been officially scrapped. A project that the scenario nning team has been working on since the beginning of the service. However, since the scenario was created with the premise that the rtionship between the two races was at its worst, the scenario itself had no choice but to go through the process of going into the trash as long as the rtionship between the two was dramatically improved. Instead, they say they are preparing a scenario to rece it, but they say that they will announce updates about that partter. At those words, Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded with a relieved expression as if it went well. Yeah.... Most of the quests were contaminated anyway, so it was better to just rece them all and create a new one, but in the end it turned out as expected. The scenario, which had been nned to remain undisclosed for the next year, was inevitably revised once Dwarf was revealed. In the end, seeing the situation going as he expected, Manager Kang Tae-hoon spoke out theint he had been holding in his mouth. Ha... If this is going to happen in the end, I''d rather just allow us to adjust the likability. It''s not like they beat a judge saying they can''t control because they don''t have the right to adjust, so it''s not like they''re training people to mutt... To be honest, Director Kang Tae-hoon has been negative about the tribal war scenario since before. That''s why I suggested several times to the upper line that I want to adjust the rtionship between these two races, but I was rejected every time. In the end, I had no choice but to write a scenario based on the rtionship between the two hostile races, so when I came and saw these changes, I had to use the taste of the staff of the scenario team, including Director Kang Tae-hoon. I will... I think this is a very inefficient situation. Still, its really fortunate that we dont have toe up with a new scenario... A situation where many joys and sorrows intersect. While General Manager Kang Tae-hoon and some of his employees were having a chat, a young woman''s voice was heard from somewhere. oh? Do you think we are too inefficient? yes....? Boss! CEO Lee Mi-yeon appeared with a smile right behind the employee who mentioned inefficiency. The employee, who turned his head to check her, was startled with a contemtive face, stood up from his seat, and stuttered. Oh no. I mean... that''s... An employee who wanted to make an excuse but couldn''t think of anything to say out of embarrassment. And when all the employees, including general manager Kang Tae-hoon, are looking at him, restless with burning faces. President Lee Mi-yeon took a bundle of papers from Director Kang Tae-hoon''s hand and opened his mouth. For you, the current situation may be ineffective and iprehensible. The fact that the entire nned scenario is overturned and the existing setting itself ispletely reversed means that there are many variables to consider and the possibility of unexpected situations increases. Not being able to control what happens in the game is a terrible situation that the gamepany that runs the game cannot imagine. If it were a normal game, the possibility of such a worst situation would have been blocked in the first ce. If there was any sign of that, they would have thoroughly prevented it, but Arcadia was different. Adjusting the rtionship between elves and dwarves. I am fully aware of the fact that Director Kang Tae-hoon''s department has made several suggestions rted to this. But it didn''t. No, not exactly. Do you know why? The agenda was just rejected without being urately informed about the reason. In response to President Lee Mi-yeon''s question, general manager Kang Tae-hoon said after struggling for a moment with a hard face. I dont know, sir. CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled at those words and handed the paper back to General Manager Kang Tae-hun and said. Because there is not enough justification for such a change. It''s just a setting in the game, but if two races that waged a war hundreds of years ago to decide the fate of each other race are getting along with each other for no reason, can Director Kang Tae-hoon understand the situation? Thats true, but... There are many realistic difficulties in creating a scenario while considering each and every setting, and Director Kang Tae-hun, who has experienced it in practice. He had something to say on his face, and his mouth was blurring, but he couldn''t bear to talk about him in front of President Lee Mi-yeon. Infinite freedom. And endless possibilities. A phrase that can be said to be the operating policy and core of Arcadia. After reciting it, President Lee Mi-yeon looked around at General Manager Kang Tae-hun and the staff in the office, smiled, and left without saying a word. Isnt it fun? The fact that one userpletely changed something that you didn''t listen to even if you asked for it? It was impossible to confirm exactly how the dwarves and elves were roasted, but everyone in the office knew that all of this happened because of one user. [Level 52 Warrior Choco Paijoa] I don''t know what the hell it is, but it''s a malicious user who pops out of nowhere and repeats all sorts of abnormal ys and eats them up. Despite the fact that he uploaded less than 10 videos, he was a hot topic with a phenomenal number of views and viewers. -Hyung, please tell me the location of the dwarves and elves viges. -hello. The guild master of the 12th ce in Arcadia Ranking, Steel Wolf. I am enjoying the video. It''s no different, if you''re not a member of a guild, please leave ament to ask what it''s like to join our guild. Our guild is... - Hello. We are the No. 1 managementpany in Korea..... -Today''s topical news This is reporter Jeong Yong-jin of MC TV. If you want to do an interview personally, but if you are interested in participating in the interview, please call me on my contact number..... A famous guild entertainmentpany that you can already know where it is just by hearing the name. Although he was receiving public attention to the extent that he was running as a . Choco Pie Joara..... Other famous channels embed their contact information or e-mail in the video hoping for an ad toe in, but on the contrary, users set all personal information to private. Even watching the video where all kinds of parts were edited and deleted, I could smell something suspicious. Iplus.... Does anyone know about thispany? uh? Eye Plus? The iPlus logo in the video appears to have recently signed a contract with the agency. Seeing that, the manager, who had a special look in his eyes, looked around and asked. And in response to his question, one of the employees raised his hand and said. Oh iplus? It is a new agency there. okay? yes. I know that the CEO there took the rted employees out while working at GM, but... As far as I know, they don''t have any channels to speak of like this yet. Apany that has just been established and has only been around for a few months. Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded at the employee''s words and picked up the phone. Then, an employee looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked. Where do you want to call, manager? Im going to call them directly and ask if I can get the users contact information. yes....? Can I just give you that? In case you dont know, the operator calls directly and asks. Maybe let go of the bridge? General Manager Kang Tae-hoon waits for the beep with anticipation. However, after a short beep, the voice that was heard was full of tiredness, annoyance, and 50,000 negative emotions. [hello. Iplus.] Oh yes. hello. My name is Taehoon Kang, general manager of the Arcadia Crisis Management Response Team. In fact, General Manager Kang Tae-hoon has a position that norgepany dares to ignore. However, the nameless employee of this small business remained indifferent to his introduction. [yes. Please tell me.] Oh yes. It''s nothing else.... Maybe a user named Choco Pie Joa... [Personal information cannot be provided. I''m sorry.] Tou-to-u- The employee who hung up the phone with a resolute rejection before he even finished talking. In a situation that waspletely unimaginable, general manager Kang Tae-hun looked down at the receiver with a bewildered expression. But he didn''t know that what he had just said was a repertoire and a disgustingment that the employee had heard a thousand times over. Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Aftermath (2) Iplus, a new entertainmentpany. CEO Cho Seo-wook put on aplex expression as he watched the few employees holding onto their phones and struggling all day long. sorry. Regarding personal information, we cannot arbitrarily provide it. yes? Oh, you want to sign an advertising contract? For now, we will deliver the rted matters separately. I know you want to talk to me directly. We can''t give you a separate contact number. The situation where the phone keeps ringing without a break. Even a week ago, things that were mere ornaments were resounding non-stop, but CEO Jo Seo-wook couldn''t be too happy. This is going crazy... Its good that the interest has increased, but the business is paralyzed... Should I just unplug the phone line and throw it away? CEO Cho Seo-wook is seriously thinking about getting rid ofndline phones. However, I couldn''t bear to do that because of the intermittent calls that came in between general inquiries. [hello. I... Could I sign a contract with the management there? I''m the owner of the Arangdan'' channel.] [Sorry. Did I contact you toote? This is the operator of the Kimshim of the Wind'' channel that you emailed me the other day.] [Does the channel receive submissions here? I''ll do my best.] In the past, channels sent me detailed e-mails asking me to give them such a chance. At that time, the owners of several small and medium-sized channels, who had been ignoring the love call sent by Iplus, showed interest one by one and sent messages saying they wanted to sign a contract. [If you sign a contract with them, can you see Choco Paijoa?] Of course, the reason was because of Choco Paijoa, not them. But even knowing that, Seowook Cho didn''t care. Whatever the reason, once they secured many channels through contracts and started building public awareness, they were convinced that they could naturally escape from the halo of Choco Pie and be self-reliant. But right now, CEO Seo-wook Cho had no choice but to walk on his arms and pick up the receiver to handle the flood of inquiries. Yes hello. It is Iplus. [uh? CEO? Why is the representative answering the phone?] The other party who recognizes who he is at once. However, CEO Jo Seo-wook also recognized who it was at once and asked with round eyes. uh? Choco Pie? [yes. You must be very busy because of me these days? My personal phone ispletely off, and the representative office phone is still busy. It''s hard to make a phone call.] CEO Seo-wook Cho has long since turned off his personal phone altogether because of the constant calls as if he was in a terrorist attack. He said with an awkward smile at Jaeyoung''sint. ha ha ha. You did. sorry for this I''ve been getting so many calls, so I turned off my phone. I''ll let you knowter after I change my number. [yes. Please email or text meter. Rather... How are people reacting these days?] Jaeyoung asks how people react. To that question, he answered without hesitation. Awesome. It is climbing the rankings with a steeper growth rate than any other channel. With the current trend, it wouldn''t be strange if he became the world''s No. 1 in the near future. Achieved 20 million real-time viewers. A phenomenal record recently achieved during a live broadcast of Elf and World Tree. After the live broadcast was over, the video was switched to private and was not even released, but the entiremunity was in a state of uproar over rted content. [is it so. The video is well edited and uploaded. That... do you know about personal information?] Sure. absolutely private. Even though there are all sorts of offersing in these days, advertisements, sponsorships, and interviews, I''m circumspectly rejecting them. Jaeyoung became a superstar in an instant. However,pared to such a reputation, he said in a sullen tone to the words of CEO Jo Seo-wook, whether he was reluctant to expose his identity. [You don''t have to do that..... More than that, I felt it while reading thements. Are there so many people who wonder where the dwarves and elves'' vige is?] Isn''t that obvious? Sand of Forge, the hidden city of the dwarves. The final resting ce of the elves, the ce where the World Tree rests. People''s interest in these two ces was explosive. It was simply because of the interest in the appearance of different races that had been shrouded in veils, but it was also because there were many things that could benefit greatly just by looking at the details revealed indirectly in the video. -That crazy thing is mithril, right? I was wondering where to get it, but the dwarves had it. - I was wondering where you learned the fine craftsmanship skill, but you learned it over there. - Spiritualism? My dream was to be a spiritist ??. Elves!! wait! I''ming! -It''s a green forget-me-not! Fuck, those are things that cost 2 gold per one, but they are just piled up like a colony? Are you crazy? Rare ores and herbs. People who are more interested in it because it has been confirmed that there are hidden skills and skills that cannot be learned anywhere in human cities or viges. However, I have searched all over the inte andmunities, but I have not been able to get any convincing information anywhere. There was no answer even when they inquired at Arcadia Co., Ltd., so the number of people calling iPlus with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw continued to increase. Probably, even if you sell rted information for billions of dors, there will be an overflow of people who buy it. In fact, there was an official proposal from arge guild to sell the information by offering billions of won, so everyone was thirsty for information. Therefore, CEO Jo Seo-wook was able to speak confidently to Jae-young''s question without hesitation. [Um... is that so? Then make it public.] Yes...? However, Jae-young, who is full of coolness at his words, asks him to reveal it in a cold manner. At those words, CEO Seo-wook Cho asked again with a look on his face as if he had heard it wrong. You mean to reveal where the two viges are now? really? Arcadia is where information is life and has enormous added value. In this game, which boasts a scale that is iparable to other games, this private information is directly linked to money, so Seo-wook Jo said in a panic at Jae-young''s words. I Choco Pie, why dont you just make a few more video contents in the dwarf and elf viges? Looking at the reactions right now, it is a certain level that it will be on the main page even if a vige merchant just posts something for sale. It''s incredibly difficult for other people to get on the main page, to the extent that their wish is for their video to appear on the main page at least once. But for Jaeyoung, decorating the main part of Arpandia was as easy as breathing. However, he turned down CEO Seo-wook Cho''s proposal as if it were natural. [no, I do not want. Why are you uploading something that isn''t interesting?] But... Jae-young throws away money because it''s not interesting. CEO Jo Seo-wook tried to protest at his words, but Jae-young cut him off and said. [As the CEO said, I know that it will be popr and make money to shoot a video by choosing various contents there. But it''s just that anyone can do it, and I don''t want to bother with a concept like that. Anyway, there are many more fun things to do besides that.] ..... Jaeyoung''s meaningful words saying that there are many more fun videos to shoot than now. At those words, CEO Jo Seo-wook couldn''t bear to insist on his own thoughts. Whatever it was, I wasn''t in a position to force myself to do something I didn''t like. In the rtionship between Iplus and Jaeyoung, even if CEO Seowook Jo himself thinks, they are the absolute E and he is the absolute A. [Oh, and since you told me the location anyway, it would be very difficult for people to visit those two viges to get what they want?] Yes...? Jae-young says strange things that are iprehensible. At those words, CEO Seo-wook Cho asked back with a puzzled expression, but he did not borate. He only said meaningful words mixed with a deep smile. [Both races are people whose personalities have exploded, so it will be difficult to please them.] I couldn''t understand it at this time, but after the two viges were officially unveiled, CEO Jo Seo-wook was able to understand Jae-young''s words. Those two races are terribly racial supremacy and appearance supremacy, and they are truly rare dog breeds that are hard to distinguish between superiority and inferiority. * * * Jae-Young, who purified the World Tree and earned the title of Hero of the Elves. Thanks to that, Jaeyoung''s influence over the elves has be so powerful that even the queen, Melissa, who leads them, cannot ignore them. So from now on, don''t make aggro remarks in front of the dwarves, especially don''t talk about height. Pretending not to be those kids, but being very sensitive with their short stature. Jaeyoung gathers the elves in one ce and gives a lecture. The lecture he was giving was the topic of How can I avoid attracting aggro to the Dwarves?'' And the elves who really listened to the story seriously. While listening to Jaeyoung''s lecture, writing down something with his ears perked up, a little elf raised his hand and said in a cute voice. Um..... I have a question! Yes Kanna. What are you curious about? All elves'' eyes were focused. In that situation, the little elf looked at Jaeyoung with really pure eyes and asked. I learned that if you associate with ugly things, you will be a bad elf, so dont do that! But if you hang out with ugly people like dwarves, Kanna bes a bad elf, is that okay? A really stupid question to hear. But looking at that expression, I could tell that it was a serious question, and Jaeyoung stood there speechless for a while before asking. Did someone teach you that hanging out with ugly things makes you a bad elf? This is my mother! Yes... I see... Those distorted values that are brainwashed from family dinner table education. Recalling once again that the elves'' personalities will deteriorate in that way, Jaeyoung smiled brightly at the growing elf named Kanna and said, Even if you hang out with a dwarf, you can''t be a bad elf. You are a good elf. really? sure. If you get along well with dwarves, you''re a good elf. lol! yes! Kanna sits down with a relieved expression on her face, as if the cognitive dissonance she experienced while colliding with what she learned at home has been resolved. Seeing such an elf, he felt that his future was getting darker, but Jaeyoung just turned his head and looked at Melissa, the head of the elves, who was closely watching his lecture, and said, Dont teach kids like that in the future. What kind of character-shattering education are you doing? Well... I''ll try. Seeing that even she, the queen of the elves, didn''t understand why she couldn''t say that she was ugly, I realized that the three-day special character education wasn''t showing much effect, but dwarves were no different from elves anyway. Jaejoong left without saying anything. Well... since we signed a peace treaty anyway, we will continue to exchange and run into each other, so don''t fight and get along well. Ah... I have a question for you. Say yes. That... These days, there are an increasing number of people wandering around the Amil area. Should I be nice to them too? Melissa spoke cautiously around the corner while looking at Jaeyoung. However, Jaeyoung grasped the gist of her question at once. Should I be forcibly nice to ugly humans?'' She cautiously asks if she is a human of the same race as Jaeyoung. However, Jaeyoung smiled and said. You can do that. I don''t care. Really...? And Melissa, who is delighted with those words. She let out a sigh of relief as if she was really fortunate and said with a bright face. Whew... how worried I was to see if we should ept ugly humans into our town! I was very depressed at the thought of seeing ugly people walking around the town with my eyes open in the morning. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung was convinced that another race war would break out between elves and humans in the near future. Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Two Changing Worlds (1) Virtual Reality Arcadia. Poprly, it was recognized as a game-like form, but schrs who studied numerous human sociology throughout their lives had a different perspective on it. [game? If you can only see that virtual reality, whichpletely embodies all the senses, no different from reality, as entertainment or entertainment, that would be like a frog in a well.] [Rather, to the management of Arcadia... No, that is This must be a question I would like to ask the threepanies that have developed uneptable technologies. To think that they have created a technology that canpletely change the life of mankind and only use it as a game machine. What the hell are you thinking?] Another world. Can the virtual reality that has developed to a level indistinguishable from reality that is not crude AR or VR, which is heterogeneous and has clear limits, still be regarded as virtual? A statement by a prominent sociology professor on this subject has made headlines. [The conquest and struggle against nature that has been going on since the beginning of mankind will finallye to an end. Why spend an astronomical amount of resources and time to build tall buildings and gigantic structures? It just needs to be implemented in virtual reality.] His prediction that mankind''s endless pioneering spirit will now disappear. It was a remark by a prominent old professor who could not be ignored in the sociology world, not just the general public, so the influence was extraordinary, but people were skeptical of his prediction. no way. However, reality is reality and virtuality is virtuality. Who''s content with pieces of data that don''t exist in real life? Isnt that going too far? Even so, what kind of fuss are you talking about with just one game? Ordinary people justughed. However, those who had insight into its huge potential through Arcadia were seriously discussing rted topics in secret. Chairman, I think you should put on hold the construction of arge theme park that we decided to promote this time. Misney, a multinational conglomerate that owns dozens of superrge theme parks around the world. At the opinion of canceling the superrge project that they were trying to start there, Alex, the chairman of Mizuni, asked with a puzzled expression. What are you talking about all of a sudden? Havent you already selected a site for construction andpleted discussions with the government of the country in question? Now, sooner orter, the government will announce the approval of the construction of the theme park, so we are waiting for the first shovel to open. It was difficult for Alex to ept that statement as it was a veryrge project that he had been working on for almost a year. Is there any reason why I should make that decision? The contract to purchase thend has already beenpleted, but if we stop now, we will lose hundreds of millions of dors no matter how small it is. The expression of Alex, the chairman of Mizuni, was as cold as ice when he asked about it because he was already in a situation where he had to endure astronomical losses. The executive conference room fell into silence in an instant. However, even in such a situation, the presenter, who was in charge of the project, spoke without hesitation. That''s right. As the project manager, it is my final judgment that stopping the project even if I lose money right now will prevent more losses in the long run. His answer made me feel as if he would never give up even if he was fired right away. Perhaps feeling his sincerity, Alex calmed down for a moment before speaking in a calm voice. Lets just listen. Why did youe up with such an opinion at this meeting attended by executives including me? If it''s for reasons you don''t understand, you''ll have to leave the office with your resignation letter on my desk. thank you. Then I will exin why. First of all, it is because we have an opponent that we can neverpete with. Impossible topete... opponent? Alex puts on a puzzled expression when he hears that he has an opponent he can''tpete with. That''s also because he couldn''t imagine that there was an opponent that Mizuni, which dominates most of the world''s entertainment and media markets, could notpete with. yes. ording to the information we recently received, it is clear that Arcadia will cause huge losses in the future if this project goes ahead. If its Arcadia... you mean the recently popr virtual reality? That''s right. First, lets watch the video we recently obtained. A presenter ys a video to Alex and the executives who tilt their heads as if they can''t understand. The eyes of those who were still watching the video widened as if they were going to pop out as if they had made a promise. This is... what is it? A video less than 3 minutes. However, the scenes from the video were enough to shock Alex and all of Mizni''s executives. This is a special terrain called Fantastic Ind, which was unveiled at a recent event held by the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Fantastic Ind, which started at the suggestion of President Lee Mi-yeon and was developed as a map for events by the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Alex and the executives unknowingly eximed as they watched the people enjoying themselves with happy smiles and the panoramic view reflected. I can''t believe it... It''s really fantastic itself... A huge ind that could amodate tens of thousands... no, hundreds of thousands of people. The greenery of nature that makes you feel at ease just by looking at it, and the beach that shines like an emerald. The ce, full of food and overflowing with things to see, was so enchanting that just looking at it made me want to run and enjoy a vacation. What is that? A huge bird flying in the sky. And people screaming in pleasure at the dizzying aerobatic flight that flies through the sky on it and glides across the sea surface. Seeing this, Alex jumped up from his seat in excitement and shouted. Oh you mean that? It''s a monster called a griffon... It''s an activity where you ride it and fly around. Holy shit..... Alex spat out a curse close to moaning after hearing the exnation. After watching the video, he could understand why the general manager of the project insisted on stopping the construction of this superrge theme park. No matter how much money you put into it, it wouldn''t make sense topete with something like that... I can see why you''re putting the project on hold. Thank you for your understanding. In addition to this, I have a suggestion for the president and all the executives here. Alex has an expression that makes him look as if he has aged for decades. The presenter spoke directly to him with a confident face. To bring the ind we just saw into reality requires at least tens of billions of dors, which is what we estimated, and the cost of maintaining it is also in the billions. Of course, there are things that cannot be implemented no matter how hard you try. In other words, it is a literal Fantastic Ind that cannot exist in reality. A huge scale theme park that is expected to cost tens of trillions of won in construction alone and trillions of won in maintenance alone. It was a level that even Mizuni couldn''t handle, and nopany dared to even attempt it without getting shot in the head. But can you believe that this perfect theme park is just a map made for one event? What? Alex couldn''t keep his mouth shut as if he was shocked by the words. In fact, the report in front of him was from Arcadia Co., Ltd. This is the data received from an official inquiry to Arcadias US branch. The material clearly states that Fantastic Ind is a terrain specially created for the event called Jukchang Daejeon'', which was individually conducted by the Korean branch, and there is no n to provide it on the continent in charge of the American branch.'' At those words, Chairman Alex hurriedly read the report in front of him, almost sticking his nose in it. He asked with an expression of disbelief even after reading rted documents several times. Wait a minute..... So that ridiculous fantasy ind is just an event that was released for a certain period of time? It''s not that thepany''s life and death were on the line, it''s just that one branch made it on its own...? That''s right. And everything was provided for free. FXXX! Alex unknowingly spat out a harsh curse at the fact that what might cut off the lifelines of numerous theme parks, including their own, was nothing but consumer content to them. Then, a tremendous sense of fear gripped him and the conference hall. Wait a minute... does that mean its an easy, cost-free affair for Arcadia to build a theme park like that and offer it to people? That''s right. Strictly speaking, this fantasy ind is just an illusion that is just data. If Arcadia Co., Ltd. wants, it can strangle Mizuni and shove a huge and bulky taffy into it. Faced with that, Alex spat out a self-deprecating self-talk. I want to get rid of virtual reality itself. It''s been a year since virtual reality was revealed to the world. It''s been less than a year since Arcadia started the service, but it was growing and rooting among people at a frightening speed. A situation that has already grown to an irreversible level. So the presenter said. Even now, we formally request that thepany mobilize all of its capabilities to promote a cooperative project with Arcadia Co., Ltd. to realize a theme park using virtual reality. Even if it is not before the technology transfer, we have to persuade them by any means to develop a permanent theme park using the characters ourpany has and build a system to service it. His im to pursue a superrge cooperation project with Arcadia Co., Ltd. as apany-wide response at the risk of thepany''s life and death. It was an idea that went beyond innovation and was even destructive, but none of thepany''s executives, including Chairman Alex, objected to his opinion. If not... our Mizuni will be on the path to downfall. They knew it because they were talented enough to upy the executive position of Mizuni, the bestpany in the entertainment industry that epasses the world. The words of the presenter, who makes a very ominous prophecy, are not at all absurd or exaggerated, but an insight into what will happen in the near future with a cold face to the point where bones hurt. * * * While such discussions were taking ce, Arcadia''s Korean branch development team was busy cleaning up the poop, shedding tears of blood today. Kheuheu.... No, the elves and dwarves area is a project to bepleted next year. It did. But what? When has work ever gone ording to n? It''s a rapidly changing world day by day, wouldn''t it be right here? Although the world has already beenpleted as a whole, the content development team still needs to provide convenience and enjoyment for users in order to maintain the characteristics of the game. However, they worked overtime every day for the sudden pouring of emergency development work, and were weaving until thest drop. Cant we just get off work on time today? Anyway, no users have ess to it right now, so it''s only about a day... What are you talking about? it''s crazy? Then you don''t know what will happen? Then, if the main scenario explodes that we didn''t intend, do you think only we are X? All departments be X! Keuheheheug.... I see... Think carefully! Do you want to end up like a scenario development team that is blown away and reorganized into something like a crisis management response team and go around cleaning up all the shit? You know there''s no such thing as leaving work on time there, right? 24-hour standby, 24-hour standby! A cry from the head of the content development team with tenacity and determination that no more unpredictable situation could be created. At that cry, the development team was busy cleaning up the poop piled up with tears today. The protagonists who created the Fantastic Ind that the president of Mizuni made his mouth drool on. These duck-like talents, who would be hired without hesitation even if given an annual sry of tens of billions of won, were still suffering from being flogged by the development team leader today. Because of an ordinary 20-year-old college student who is scratching the floor and watching TV without knowing anything. Chapter 104 Chapter 104 The changing world (2) Arcadia, the crystallization of virtual reality technology. Arcadia itself had an inestimable value, but the potential and scbility of the virtual reality technology that makes up Arcadia was beyond imagination. [Can you build a remote work system using virtual reality technology?] [The Ministry of National Defense formally requests yourpany to review whether it is possible to implement a real battlefield in virtual reality to increasebat power usable in our military. ] [Hey, I''m filming a movie. Is it possible to implement a specific scene using virtual reality?] [Can you create a training program rted to patient surgery? If that is possible, it could save the lives of so many people.] Frombat training that embodies arge-scale battlefield, to leisure sports, medical film education, and more. Companies and organizations in numerous fields are flooded with calls asking if they can introduce virtual reality technology. However, there was something needed to satisfy these needs. Virtual reality integrated production system Lucid Dream. A production machine that realizes reality in virtual reality. Dreamer, which can ess virtual reality made up of data, was sold to many people after its official release, but it was not this lucid dream. This device is limitedly used only by Arcadia''s development team. It has already been unveiled at various fairs and the public has known about the characteristics of the machine, but there was one stumbling block in the official release. [Lucid Dream, which Arcadia is using for content development, is a product entirely developed and produced by Ajin Electronics and Corporation Argos. For rted inquiries, it would be more appropriate to make an inquiry to thepany in question, and regarding the release of the product, it will be possible only if legition is first passed on the virtual reality bill currently pending in the National Assembly...] Virtual reality bill. The world is changing day by day due to virtual reality, but the legition for this has not yet been properly established. In fact, there was a big problem with the official release of Dreamer because the relevantws and regtions themselves did not exist. However, too many people watched it with interest for the state to step in and sanction it, so the relevant government departments couldn''t help but give permission. Considering that Korea holds the title of Arcadia''s second release country, this was a very absurd situation. [The effect of virtual reality on the human body has not yet been rified! Even now, we must stop using Arcadia and all virtual reality and confirm that there is no harm through thorough clinical trials and investigations!] [Are you crazy? Even if you pass the relevant legition right away and spare no support for industry promotion, you can''t help but hold on to your ankles in the yard where it''s not enough? Then, what are you going to do if another country loses the lead in the virtual reality industry? Yes?] The virtual reality bill, which had a history of being rejected once even in the United States, the country that was first released and developed. In the end, the Democratic Party, which voted against the majority, suffered a huge political blow, but the executive order issued ex officio by the US presidentid the foundation for active support and revival of the virtual reality industry in the United States. put However, Korea was still Mujumunism itself with no relevantws at all. So.... For now, we are putting aside all rted inquiries and cooperation proposals from variouspanies, but we will have to announce a specific release schedule sooner orter. Remote video conferencing. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, was reporting on love calls from numerouspanies and organizations that were flying like crazy in rtion to the current lucid dream. And the people whose faces are reflected on the monitor while receiving her report. They were none other than President Lee Mi-yeon''s employers and the actual owners of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Mikhail, the CEO of Corporation Argos. Jenika, the head of Silico The Bio Industries. Lee Jun-hee, chairman of Ajin Electronics. Software and tform Bio & Pharmaceutical Electronics and Semiconductor. They, who can be said to be the rulers of giant corporations dominating the global market in their respective industries, each threw a word after hearing the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. [Hmm... First of all, it''s only a matter of time before the bill passes, given the current atmosphere in the US Congress. Since it has already been rejected once and has been severely beaten, the Democratic Party is also active in legition. It will probably be officiallyunched in the US within the next quarter.] Positive remarks from Mikhail, CEO of Corporation Argos. However, Chairman Lee Jun-hee frowned and muttered in a tired tone. [Keuk..... It seems that Korea will be difficult for the time being. In the political world, it has spread to faction fights and is hesitant to pass the bill, but the protests of civic groups opposing it are intensifying.... First of all, we are looking at the numbers in various ways.] Unlike the United States, where the passage of rted bills is counting down . Korea is still struggling. Listening to the situation in Korea, Zenica, the head of Silicorp, muttered with an expression of iprehension. [Still? Japan and the European Union have alreadypleted the rted legition, and at least the rted legition has been passed in the Arab world, which has not yet been released. Isn''t it toote ? Korea''s legiture, which has entered a fiercepetition to preupy, but is still busy with carefree political debate. At Zenica''s criticism for such a situation, Chairman Lee Jun-hee said with a bitter expression, as if he had nothing to say. [What can I do? That''s the current situation in Korea.] Those who focus on partisan fighting and are always busy with the politics of division and contention. In the end, it was petty people who bleed because of that, but it wasn''t something that could be helped by Chairman Lee Jun-hee''s hands, so Zenica didn''t say anything more. [Anyway, there are plenty of countries begging to sell Lucid Dream, so it doesn''t matter. But to be honest, the longer Korea''s release is dyed, the more tangible and intangible damage Korea will suffer. Would that be okay ? Perhaps, when lucid dream is officially sold, there will be people who use it to implement virtual reality content for their own purposes. Beings who use their infinite imagination to create tremendous added value. That is the Creator. It was frustrating to see the government sitting still and watching the fighting of the National Assembly members, even if the state stepped in and started nurturing these talented people. [Please say so. They are idiots who don''t even realize what they are doing. Lucid Dream is released first in Japan, and once it''s smashed, you''lle to your senses . Chairman Lee Jun-hee didn''t want to feed the National Assembly members who were still struggling with their madness, so he thought of just watching. The emergence of creators who will actively implement virtual reality, and the powerful industrialpetitiveness and added value they will create, will lead to a copse inpetition with neighboring countries such as Japan. [Well... if that''s the case. I see.] Jenika has no reason to care so much about Korea. At Chairman Lee Jun-hee''s words, she also nodded without saying anything. President Lee Mi-yeon, who judged that the rted story had beenpleted to some extent, continued to speak. And as an additional agenda... I think the share of the 8 continents in Arcadia has beenpleted to some extent. Now, for small countries to be released, I think we can set them to start from continents with simr cultures. [Has the real-time trantion system not been introduced yet?] First of all, we are testing the system sent by Argos in advance. A real-time interpretation and trantion system developed by Corporation Argos. When asked if this system, which covers most of the existingnguages, could be applied, CEO Lee Mi-yeon told Zenica as if she remembered. Ah, in order to fully apply the interpretation and trantion system, Alicesputational capacity must be increased by 45% more than it is now. [okay. I''ll talk to Ajin Electronics about that and expand the facility.] Thank you. President Lee Mi-yeon looks at Jenica, who nods her head willingly at her words, and expresses her gratitude with a smile. As the rted meeting neared its end, Mikhail asked. [Oh, and I recently heard a story from Arcadia''s US branch... Is there any problem with the two continents that are being serviced in Korea?] A problem? What do you mean? [Hmm.... I don''t know because I didn''t hear it correctly, but thepany employees there are crying every day under heavy workload...] [Ah, I know why .] Jenica. She gritted her teeth with a frown on her face. [It''s because that damn bastard''s shit is running amok.] [Yeah...? What is that...?] Mikhail with an iprehensible expression. But Jennica muttered to herself as if she didn''t care about him. [Did you say Dex? I don''t really like how he''s doing the same thing as that porpoise pup, but Jack enjoys watching him again..... Anyway, I wasn''t letting the damn porpoise get involved in the game... ..] Jenica continues to grumble until the end of the meeting. However, whether or not he knew her heart, the troublemaker was quietly sitting in the lecture room, bruising with a bored expression. Hey Jaeyoung...? Jae-Kyun continues to call Jae-Young in a quiet voice as if whispering. However, Jaeyoung was lost in thought, staring nkly out the window. Jaeyoung! hey! Yoon Jae-young! After calling him several times, Jae-gyun, who could not stand it, grabbed him and shook him, and Jae-yeong came back to his senses. uh? what''s the matter? Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled expression. When he finally realized that everyone in the ssroom was focusing their attention on him and was perplexed, Professor Kim Tae-hoon looked at Jae-young and asked. Student Jaeyoung Yoon, were you listening to me? Uh... Im sorry. I was thinking about something else for a while... I asked if you had time on Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon...? Like any college student, Jae-young made Friday a public lecture with careful timetable distribution. He answered Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s question with a half-curious, half-anxious face. There is no lecture that day... Then could youe to myb that day? My disciple who camest time wants to meet and talk with you, and he''s begging you. A disciple...? Jae-young asks with a puzzled expression when he hears that Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s student wants to see him. However, Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s continued exnation made Jae-young realize who he was at once. The Arcadia employee who came to the ssroom at that time and measured your sync rate. Oh, is that him...? He described Jaeyoung as a rare genius. That day, making all sorts of fuss, he even handed over his business card, asking to contact him separately, but his business card went straight to the trash. Why am I...? I dont know that either. But he asked very persistently. I even handed over my business card, but you didn''t contact me, so I thought it was a roundabout refusal, but you look so desperate that I''m asking for your intention. His disciple persisted so much that even Professor Kim Tae-Hoon surrendered. But to be honest, Jaeyoung was reluctant to meet him again. Lets meet again, shall we? I don''t think it will harm you. A researcher at Arcadia Co., Ltd. Whatever it was, as a student of this department of virtual reality, he was a role model and an object of envy, so Professor Kim Tae-hoon invited Jae-young to meet him with a pure heart. And although Jaeyoung didn''t really want what the department advisor said, he had no choice but to nod because he had no reason to refuse. All right. okay. Then I will tell you toe on Friday. However, Professor Kim Tae-hoon did not know what kind of result this arrangement would bring. Chapter 105 Chapter 105 The Changing World (3) Researcher Kang Pil-joon works as a researcher in Arcadia''s R&D team. He sat in the office of Professor Kim Tae-hun, his advisor and mentor during his graduate school days, and looked at a student sitting in front of him with a nervous expression. Department of Computer Engineering.... No, Jae-Young Yoon, a freshman in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. Originally, he would have boasted triumphantly as a distant senior, but he was the one who was regretful here, so he was in a hurry to notice Jae-young. Are you saying you want me to participate as a subject in a research project? Jaeyoung is making a confused expression. Seeing him as if he would reveal his intention of refusal at any moment, Piljun said urgently. There is nothing strange about being a test subject! It''s just that you just have to experience the things we develop. Nothing dangerous or anything like that at all. Hmm... 92.89% synchro rate. I couldn''t measure it again with a precision instrument, but Jaeyoung''s synchro rate, which came out with a portable measuring instrument, was a phenomenal figure that I couldn''t keep my mouth shut no matter how much I looked at it. [Bring that student to ourb right away. I don''t care if you bow down or kidnap and bring me back, so bring me back at any cost.] The head of the research center, who was informed of the results, was shocked and bluffed him, telling him to bring him right away. Jaeyoung has tremendous value as a test subject. But whether he knew it or not, he still had a puzzled look on his face. Wouldn''t it be revealed if I went there?'' The opponent is none other than a full-time employee of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Worried that if he followed him without knowing anything, the fact that he was Dex would be discovered and buried somewhere without a rumor, Jaeyoung did not want to ept his sorrowful request. sorry. No matter how much you think about it, a little bit about such an experiment... Jae-young tried to express his intention of refusal as politely as possible. However, researcher Kang Pil-joon''s behavior blocked Jae-young''s mouth, as if he had noticed him. fluff. please! please just once! You dont have to participate as a research subject, so pleasee to theb just once! Pil-joon knelt down and bowed his head to the floor to ejacte. Professor Kim Tae-hoon shouted in bewilderment with round eyes at his sudden action. Why is this friend suddenly like this? Professor please... If I cant take this friend, the head of the research center will really kill me. No, I might just get my head cut at thepany. He begged Jaeyoung''s pants crotch with a determined expression that he was going to hit Bae-jin, no matter how much pressure he had been under at thepany. please. huh? Why don''t you show your face just once without being so stubborn? Still, they''re seniors from the same school. If I get fired from thispany, I will have to sit down on the street. He ejactes with a crying face as if he is really about to cry. Because of his desperate look, even Professor Kim Tae-hun couldn''t bear to be angry at the action and asked Jae-young with a face full of apology. Im sorry for Jaeyoung, but... can you help that poor student just once? Seeing you ejacte like that, it seems like there are a lot of inner circumstances that you cant talk about. He has a title that would be looked upon with envy wherever he goes. However, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh and said at the sight of him sitting on the floor begging and begging as if he had abandoned his pride in thisb. Haa... I get it right now. I understand, so please stop this. Researcher Kang Pil-joon is holding the crotch of his pants with both hands. Jaeyoung said, feeling that it was not a very pleasant experience to have a grown man grabbing his pants crotch. I really? thank you! really! Rejoicing at those words, Pil-joon hurriedly stood up and shouted thank you over and over again. However, Jaeyoung did not respond to his words and asked. So when and where should I go? Jae-young wants to check the location and ce. However, Pil-Jun''s answer was beyond the expectations of him and Professor Tae-Hun Kim. Are you... busy right now? yes....? If you''re not busy, you can still do it now... ..... It''s not like you''re calling a friend in the middle of the night to eat fried chicken. Professor Kim Tae-hun and Jae-young only made absurd expressions at his attitude of looking at the extension with an embarrassed expression, as if he was embarrassed by the current situation. * * * Arcadia Co., Ltd. is responsible for the service of Arcadia, a virtual reality game. As it holds the title of mankind''s first virtual reality game, the academic status of thepany''s research department was enormous. - Presented 3 papers on Arcadia virtual reality technology. -The Research and Development Team of Arcadia Co., Ltd., a topical research team that the academic world is paying attention to. -A research team rejected even by a Harvard professor shows the high status of virtual reality technology? The R&D team of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is actively conducting practical research on virtual reality and rted technologies. It is a ce that is receiving a lot of attention from the scientific and academic world to the extent that it is almost certain that this year''s Nobelureate wille from this ce. And Kim Moon-sik, the head of the research team who leads this research team. He looked at the young man brought by researcher Kang Pil-jun with sharp eyes and said. Is this your friend? The student you were talking about? yes! That''s right! Researcher Kang Pil-joon answers with a tense face as if his military discipline is upright. In response to his answer, Research Director Kim Moon-shik nodded, looked over at Jae-young carefully, and held out his hand. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to visit us. My name is Moonsik Kim, the head of the research department. yes. My name is Jaeyoung Yoon. Yeah... but this person...? A middle-aged man standing behind Jaeyoung and Piljun. It was a face he had never seen before, but he held out his hand with a weing expression as if he knew him well. My name is Kim Tae-hoon, the students advisor. I was really impressed with your papers, and it is a great honor to meet you like this. Ah, thats right. Nice to meet you. The head of theb nodded at the word Jae-young''s advisor and shook his hand. Professor Kim Tae-hun asked him with a curious expression. You seem to be very interested in my students. Even though Pil-joon asked him to arrange it, is there a special reason for that? synchro rate. I wondered why Professor Kim Tae-Hoon was so interested in him because he didn''t know exactly what it was and how important Jae-Young''s measurement results were. However, Director Kim Moon-sik of the research department did not give any specific answer to his question. ha ha ha. Let''s start with simple measurements again. You said you were a student Jaeyoung Yoon....? I heard you don''t y Arcadia... but you still don''t? yes. Capsules are too expensive. The mostmon reason for not ying Arcadia. It cost at least 10 million won, and since there were many cases in which people of the same age as Jae-young had not yet encountered Arcadia, Kim Moon-sik, head of the research department, nodded as if it was not a big deal. Its not like that. We''ll be releasing lower priced products soon, so give it a try if you can afford it. First of all... would you like to lie down in that capsule over there? A capsule that looks exactly like Arcadia''s connector Dreamer. At the words of Director Kim Moon-sik to lie down in it, Jae-young looked at it with strange eyes and asked. What is that? Its a synchro rate meter. It is possible to measure the process of Jaeyoung''s brain interacting with theputer much more precisely than what Researcher Kang Pil-joon took to Seomin University. Kim Moon-sik, head of research, looks at Jae-young with sharp eyes while exining. Jaeyoung could feel the unknown disbelief in his eyes. To be honest, I think your sync rate numbers are incorrect measurements. Of the tens of thousands of participants we have measured so far, no one exceeds 30%, and it is realistically hard to believe that the number exceeds 90%. A situation where there is no one in the world whose synchro rate exceeds 30%. Therefore, Director Kim Moon-shik could not believe the results of Jae-young brought by researcher Kang Pil-joon. So I wanted to take this opportunity to see it with my own two eyes. Whether this ridiculous synchro rate is fiction or real. Prepare for synchro rate measurement and put it in precision measurement mode. Lets set the utilization rate to 100%. yes! All right. The researchers moved in perfect order at his words and prepared for the operation of the machine. Jaeyoungy down naturally in the capsule and watched the measuring device operate. [Synchronization precision measurement mode activated. EEG signal confirmation with the subject. Adjustment.... Done.] Weiyiing. A high pitched sound began to be heard in Jaeyoung''s ears. Jaeyoung closed her eyes at the clear female voice that came along with the sleep inducement sound for virtual reality ess. [Simtion starts.] * * * Precise measurement simtion of synchro rate. When Jaeyoung logged on to the simtion and opened his eyes, what he saw was nothing but a white, endless, shapeless space. Hmm... thats unusual. A state of wearing a suit like tights made of strange material. Jaeyoung looked down at his hands and moved his body around to check their condition. And then one notification sound. [Step 1 of synchro rate measurement. 10.... 9.... 8.... 7.....] Wheein. A red ball appeared in the air along with the words Stage 1. With that, the countdown began. [2.... 1.... start.] As soon as the countdown is over, the red ball flies towards Jaeyoung at a furious speed with the word start. Jaeyoung dodged the ball with an instinctive movement. what? Are you just avoiding it? As soon as Jaeyoung moves his body to avoid it, the ball changes its trajectory again and flies fiercely. In response, Jaeyoung continued to avoid the ball as if brushing it. How many minutes had passed? Suddenly, a clear notification sound was heard. [Clear Stage 1. Stage 2 standby. 2 minutes remaining.] A red ball stopped with a beep indicating that stage 1 had been cleared. Then, with the word that it was going to step 2, an additional ball appeared from somewhere and was floating in the air. A ball doubled. Looking at it, Jaeyoung smiled as he realized what this simtion was asking of him. Its like a game to avoid poop... A survival game where you survive by avoiding countless bullets. A game where you find gaps for survival that exist somewhere and hold out for as long as possible. During the short waiting time of 2 minutes, Jaeyoung began to warm up with her eyes shining. Wooddeuk. Jaeyoung smiles as he loosens his joints. His eyes were full of triumph. Lets see how far we can survive. [5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1.... start.] Sheeah. Two balls flying at breakneck speed at the same time as the word start. Jaeyoung, who jumped to avoid them, realized. It means that your body is moving as you want as you imagined differently from reality. Ha ha ha ha ha! slow! Jae-young, who seems to have already fully adapted to the simtion, is showing absurd movements and avoiding the chase of the balls. It wasn''t just simply throwing the ball away, but it was even using the trajectory of the two balls in reverse to induce a collision with each other and make them stray in a strange path. Oh oh! Is this single jump possible? Jaeyoung, who has no stepping feet in the air, changes her path in an instant as if jumping. After avoiding the ball attack, many ideas for avoiding the ball were springing up in his head. If this is the case, there must be infinite ways to evade in the air, right? It''s sweet. Jae-young started to enjoy measurement as if it were a game. While he was ying freely in the simtion, those watching from the outside were astonished. This crazy..... The simtion, which boasted the highest synchro rate, reached its limit in the 3rd stage. However, Jaeyoung was running rampant even at stage 5, as if he wereughing. Chapter 106 Chapter 106 The changing world (4) A simtion to measure Jaeyoung''s synchro rate. Research director Kim Moon-sik and his research team, who were watching Jae-young''s performance from the outside to precisely measure Jae-young''s synchro rate, who showed ridiculous numbers, were in shock and couldn''t shut their mouths. Nonsense... did you just see it? This crazy... reaction speed is what that is. Does that make sense? A detailed inspection that will normally bepleted in less than 10 minutes. However, Jaeyoung''s examination time was already well over an hour. [Clear stage 29. 30 level standby. 2 minutes remaining.] Jaeyoung, who has already snorted the previous world record and tossed it into the trash can. The atmosphere in theboratory was heating up with a strange sense of tension and excitement at the fact that they had reached the 30th stage, which exists only in a setting that could not even dare to imagine now. Are you checking the relevant data properly? At first, Kim Moon-sik, the head of the research department, tried to test Jae-young amid distrust. However, when he saw the results far beyond human limits, he began to give orders to the researchers with a red face as if he was more excited than anyone else. Check where the limit to reach the maximum synchronization rate is! Not only the signal response speed, but also the operation rate in information exchange and the realization rate of the transmission signal sent by the brain are precisely measured without missing anything! okay? yes! All right. More than 10 researchers were watching the monitors without looking away for a second, recording something diligently. Seeing their heated appearance, Professor Kim Tae-hoon had a lot of questions, but he didn''t have time to ask, so he quietly asked his student, Researcher Kang Pil-jun, who was watching with a relieved face from behind. Piljun, what is the situation? Ah, Professor. Lets get the story right. What on earth are they so excited about and what is the meaning of this prosecutor now? Researcher Kang Pil-joon put on an apologetic expression as if he felt some guilt at Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s questioning, not the questioning. Didn''t he create the current situation by making an unreasonable request to Professor Kim Tae-hoon to attract Jae-young without giving a proper exnation? So, in this chaotic situation, Pil-Jun told Professor Tae-Hoon Kim a detailed story. So... do you mean that those with a high synchro rate will be important talents leading the future virtual reality industry? Yes. Through the product called Lucid Dream'', which will be released soon, people will realize what existed in their imaginations into reality, and the added value and rted industries derived through it are truly limitless. To y Arcadia, the minimum synchronization rate required to feel the five human senses is 10-20%. However, in order to realize what he imagined in virtual reality, a higher synchro rate is required. The minimum standard is 30%. However, most people were not satisfied with this basic number. Then, if the 30% synchro rate is not satisfied, is it impossible to use that lucid dream? That''s not it. The research project we are currently pursuing is also to increase the efficiency of Lucid Dream so that it can operate smoothly at a lower synchro rate. Even if the synchro rate is less than 30%, individual variation exists, but through continuous and repetitive training, it is possible to raise the level of implementation to a certain level. But it is rtively inefficient. Professor Kim Tae-hun, thinking about something with a serious expression at Pil-jun''s words. As the head professor of the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, he realized that this is the most important thing to nurture talents in rted industries in the future. Synchronous rate.....'' Prof. Kim Tae-hoon is leading the reform of the entire department with the goal of nurturing future talent who will open the door to the virtual reality industry in the future, if not Arcadia. He became very curious about the research team of Director Kim Moon-shik, who is researching actual knowledge and technology more than the research papers that have been poured out so far. And to their disciple Jae-young, whom they watch enthusiastically. * * * While Professor Kim Tae-hoon was lost in thought while dreaming of something, Jae-young was screaming as he progressed through the 30 steps. coo coo coo coo. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Damn it! Is this the level you want to break! The ball, which was one at first, increased to twenty before I knew it, and was fiercely flying around Jaeyoung, attacking every gap. In addition, at some point, the colorless terrain was transformed into an air filled with irregrly rising scaffolding, and even gravity was irregrly reversed. Wow. Twenty balls flew at a blind spot at the same time, subtly distorting the reference point of gravity, creating a situation that was absolutely impossible to avoid. But at that moment, Jaeyoung took a deep breath and stopped. Whoops. Twenty balls flew at a speed like bullets. But for that moment, it was suspended in the air as if time had stopped. The balls appear to bepletely stationary, but are slowly flying in to deliver a fatal blow to Jaeyoung, like a snail crawling. Looking at them, Jaeyoung frowned at the headache that seemed to be stabbed with an awl and slowly moved his body. Uh... Goddamn..... It''s so hard.....'' Uuuuuuuuuu. just a few steps The moment Jae-young breathes out again after taking a hard step as if it were too much for her to move to a ce just a few steps away from the point where the balls were fiercely aiming. Kwakqua Kwak Kwak-?-The balls that were stopped in the air as if they were waiting, flew in the ce where the reinforcement was at a fierce speed as if it was going out. And the clear notification sound thates along with it. [Clear stage 30. Clear all stages.] Along with a fanfare sound, a woman''s voice congratted me. [Complete recording precision measurement results. The simtion ends.] Chwiiyiprofit. With the notification sound, the capsule lid opens with the sound ofpressed air being released. After the connection was terminated, Jae-young, who slowly opened her eyes and returned to reality, staggered as she got up from a headache and dizziness. Student Jaeyoung! are you okay? hey! Bring water, water! The research team makes a fuss and clings to Jae-young, who is staggering and unable to control herself. And when they saw the blood flowing from Jaeyoung''s nose, they screamed in fright. hey! Bring toilet paper! Call the medical staff right away! hurry! Overreacting, stumped researchers. In response to their reaction, Jaeyoung grabbed his throbbing hair and said with a burdened expression. I''m fine. Just take a break and you''ll be fine. But why dont you take the test first? There may be side effects that you do not know because there is no one who has been simting for a long time like you. Let it be, student Jaeyoung. Whatever it is, isn''t health first? Jae-young, who was not able to refuse the active rmendation of Professor Kim Tae-hoon and Research Director Kim Moon-shik, and was even consulted by a medical staff residing at Arcadia Co., Ltd. While he was waiting for the test results, Professor Kim Tae-hoon and Research Director Kim Moon-sik were talking with serious faces. I need to thoroughly verify Student Jaeyoungs simtion record again, but at thest moment in the 30th stage, the synchro rate soared to 99%, albeit temporarily. That''s a really ridiculous number. 99%...? What does that mean? It means that the brain has be almostpletely in sync with the machine...we dont know exactly what that means. It will be an assignment to study rted data from time to time. For Kim Moon-shik, Jae-young is nothing short of a new research project. In Jae-young''s record, whopleted the measurement perfectly by clearing stage 30, he could see that there was no falsehood or bravado mixed with what researcher Kang Pil-joon had previously reported. First of all, I must apologize for my doubts. Average synchro rate 91.24%. Even taking into ount that there is some margin of error, anything over 90% seems certain. Student Jaeyoung probably has the highest number on the. A statement like a guarantee by Director Kim Moon-shik, who is leading the research in virtual reality technology. With those words, he asked Professor Taehoon Kim with a serious face. May I ask for your cooperation so that student Jaeyoung can participate as a research subject in a project that is being conducted in ourboratory on a regr basis? Of course, you have to ask your opinion first, but I''m asking because I think you''ll think a little more positively if Professor Kim Tae-hoon, your advisor, persuades you. If that''s the case, I''m not going to help you a little... Jaeyoung is the student he''s in charge of. No matter how much safety is considered as the top priority, virtual reality technology that explores and interferes with the unknown area of the human brain. Since he could not predict the dangers of being the subject of experimentation and research on these technologies, Professor Taehoon Kim put on a puzzled expression at the request of the research director. However, if student Jaeyoung actively cooperates with our research, we promise to cooperate a lot. What kind of cooperation are you talking about...? Professor Kim Tae-hoon takes an interest in the promise of cooperation. In response to his question, Director Kim Moon-sik said with his eyes shining. I heard rumors. Seomin University''s Department of Computer Engineering is beingpletely reorganized into the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. Considering that research on rted technologies is still in its infancy, it was an innovation that was close to being disruptive. Virtual reality studies, where only a few people have the level to be called experts. In particr, there was too much information that had not been disclosed yet, so there were still too many thingscking to make it the main focus of the Faculty of Engineering, which was established for the purpose of cultivating talents who could practically utilize it. And the head of the research department, Kim Moon-sik, had the position and authority to satisfy Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s thirst. If Jaeyoung student cooperates with the research project in ourboratory.... We will sign an agreement with Seomin University''s Department of Virtual Reality Engineering to nurture future talents who will lead virtual reality, and we will support the research of rted technologies as much as possible. . What? As Professor Taehoon Kim, this is an offer that can never be refused. His proposal was so sweet because it was after I had heard in detail from his student Piljun about the existence of lucid dream, the key to leading the virtual reality industry. Think carefully. We can also lead technological progress through talented people with high synchro rates, and we can also raise the status of Seomin Universitys Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, so everyone can benefit. Famous professors from well-known universities have already sent love calls to Argos, the creator of the virtual reality system, for cooperation in research on virtual reality technology, but all of them are being ignored. In such a situation, it was clear that if a practical research agreement was signed with Arcadia, the status of the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University would be higher than anywhere else. Kheuheum... over there Jaeyoung student...? That is why Professor Kim Tae-hoon approached Jae-young with softer and warmer eyes than ever before and asked. As an educator and as a thorough researcher, he abandoned his convictions that he had never abandoned. Dont you think you need an A? In this way, Professor Kim Tae-Hoon was able to obtain Jae-Young''s cooperation. After promising unconditional A grades in major sses, regardless of attendance and test scores. Chapter 107 Chapter 107 The Changing World (5) A surprise agreement between Arcadia''s R&D team and Professor Kim Tae-hoon. In the process, slightly hical transactions came and went, but thanks to this, Seomin University quickly emerged as a hot topic in the news. [This is breaking news. Seomin University and Arcadia Co., Ltd. announced that they had signed an MOU to establish an industry-academia cooperation group. Seomin University changed the name of the Department of Computer Engineering to the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering and took the lead in reforming rted curriculum. A spokesperson for Arcadia Co., Ltd. positively evaluated Seomin University''s efforts and announced that it would spare no effort to nurture talents and develop technologies that lead the virtual reality industry. So.....] Arcadia Co., Ltd. is not so fussy. Of course, it made sense because it was the onlypany in the world thatmercialized virtual reality technology. In addition, the actual owners of thispany were none other than super-giant corporations in charge of a huge axis of the world economy and industry as a whole, so their status was absolute. And the news of establishing a cooperative rtionship with thesepaniespletely changed the status of Seomin University overnight. [hey. Regarding the transfer, I would like to inquire if it is possible to apply for the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering.....] [Hello. I am a high school parent. I want to check the admission quota n for this year.] [This is the Department of Exchange and Cooperation, Seoul National University. I called because I wanted to establish an exchange and cooperation with Seomin University. Could I speak to the person in charge?] [Hello. This is.....] The phones at Seomin University started to ring like crazy. In particr, the phone in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering started ringing non-stop to the extent that I was worried that it might break down. Chief of department... I can''t handle the phone calls for this, so my work is paralyzed. A few administrative staff members are sweating with their phones in their hands. Aside from media coverage and phone calls, there are inquiries from parents of high school seniors preparing for the entrance exam, current students asking whether they can transfer or transfer, and exchanges and cooperation with top universities in Korea and even prestigious universities abroad. Even an official proposal that you want to do. In an instant, the status of the University of the Commonwealth rose rapidly. Professor Kim Tae-hoon, the main character of the topic, made Seomin University famous all over the world overnight. He was sitting in the president''s office with a calm face, drinking coffee very leisurely in front of the president who was watching him. Hey...you''ve done a really great job. Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. A new department created by his bulldozer-like drive topletely transform the curriculum itself, not just change the name of the existingputer science department. However, due to budget issues and projects already defined in the previous year, only the signboard has changed, nothing in the content has changed. It''s just that the content of the lecture has been slightly improved through individual efforts in Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s lecture. It is a situation that will change little by little from next year, but it was the frank feeling of the president and the board that they did not expect much. So, this great news that Professor Kim Tae-hoon asked now turned the entire foundation and board of directors upside down. Didnt I tell you that I am risking my life and death to nurture future talent? Heh heh heh..... Yes. It''s hard to find another professor as passionate as you. When Professor Taehoon Kim spoke in a calm tone, the president replied with a smile. Then, as if he couldn''t hide his excitement, he excitedly started talking about things he hadn''t even asked. The Minister of Education called me directly. I would like to congratte you for establishing exchanges and cooperation with leading globalpanies, and wish you all the best for the future development of rted faculties and universities. They said they expect to actively participate in national research projects in the future. An unusual situation where the Minister of Education directly calls and congrattes a private university, not a national or public university. In addition, the movements shown by various universities scattered around the area were also unusual. It''s not just SKY, but Harvard, MIT, Oxford, Tokyo University.... I''m not kidding, it seems like they''ve made official inquiries to all of the world''s top 100 universities. I mean, lets pursue a joint research at least with professor exchange lectures or exchange student programs. The world''s first virtual reality engineering department. In fact, several universities were discussing and preparing for the establishment of rted faculties, but they were still in the nning stage because they could not be made like roasting beans with lightning fire like Seomin University. So, they made an offer to Seomin University as if they werepeting. Somehow Seomin University... no, in order to build a bridge with the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. What a huge achievement for one person to aplish. The fact that they had actively exchanged and cooperated with Arcadia Co., Ltd., the onlymercializationpany of virtual reality, the president couldn''t hold back his curiosity and said with his eyes shining. What the hell is the secret? How on earth did you manage to bake and boil Arcadia Co., Ltd.? The reason why Arcadia Co., Ltd. joined hands with Seomin University... no, Professor Kim Tae-hoon. It was thanks to the existence of Jaeyoung, who was a freshman at Seomin University, but he couldn''t say anything about him. I''ll take part in the study, as long as you abide by the condition that you don''t expose me to people. Jaeyoung has the highest synchro rate in the world. It was clear that he would be a celebrity in no time if the facts were revealed, but he strangely demanded strict confidentiality. A grades and full schrships are nice, but I hate being bothered. And honestly, if the grades are disclosed, wouldnt it be a bit problematic? Professor Kim Tae-hoon promised a full A grade. I believed that it was worth it, so it was the first proposal I came up with, abandoning my beliefs as a researcher and educator. However, that did not justify the wrongdoing, so Jaeyoung''s proposal was actually a wee condition for Professor Taehun Kim. So, to the president''s question, Professor Kim Tae-hoon gave an indirect answer. In addition, there are researchers from our school, and Arcadia liked the preemptive establishment of the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. Recently, while making technical inquiries, how did the connectione to fruition? Professor Kim Tae-hoon is more active than anyone else in rted research. Because he was such a person, the president said with a satisfied face and a bright smile, as if he did not have a single doubt about Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s exnation. Heh heh heh! also! You are the pride of our school! The school owes you a huge debt. This exchange and cooperation with Arcadia, which is not only Professor Taehoon Kim''s achievement, but also his own. That''s why the president''s eyes looking at Professor Kim Tae-hoon were full of goodwill. If there is anything you want, just let me know. As long as it''s within my power, I''ll listen to anything you say! At those words, Professor Taehoon Kim asked with his eyes shining. Really? Nevertheless. Why is there anything you would like to ask for? Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s eyes shine at the president''s words. He looked at the president and said with a more serious face than ever before. Then, please increase our departments support or something. In this way, through the miraculous achievements made by Professor Taehoon Kim, everyone in the Department of Virtual Reality heard great news. The good news is that all students who meet the minimum grade standard will receive a full tuition schrship. * * * Students of the Department of Virtual Reality suddenly received the attention of the world including the media. They were shrugging their shoulders because they had suddenly ascended to heaven without knowing that the department they were attending was high. Isnt it really great? I got a phone call from my mom and she said it was very upsetting. really? Wow... It looks like they are openly pushing for it even at school. That''s not all. Arcadia Co., Ltd. gives special job opportunities to graduates of our department! what....? really? I heard that seniors in the 4th grade are preparing seriously for that reason. If you just enter this, your life will be reversed! In an instant, everything changed from the Department of Computer Engineering to the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. Because of this, the opposition from the existing students, especially the fourth graders who are about to graduate, was no joke. No, it was said that it was aputer engineering department, but it came out as a virtual reality engineering department on the diploma? Do you think that makes sense? Professor, we cannot approve of this reorganization. If you force it, I will formally raise it to the student council and take action. The 4th graders who predicted a head-on collision by refusing sses and even protesting. Not only did they go ahead with the shaving ceremony, they raised their hands in opposition and cursed Professor Kim Tae-hoon, the main culprit of these reforms. However, it is an ironic situation that they are now actively praising Professor Kim Tae-hoon more than anyone else. However, Udyr was not unable to understand the change in attitude to cry and go. -Hey... How do you get a job at Arcadia Co., Ltd.? If you go to the website, there is no information rted to recruitment. -There is no separate recruitment itself. I understand that there is no open recruitment or anything like that, and that they only take those who have changed their jobs and hire experienced workers in the form of private scouting. -Ah... Then, do job seekers or university graduates have no job opportunities at all? - Probably. Call thepany once and ask. Arcadia Co., Ltd. is getting a lot of attention from job seekers, but the bond itself does not exist. Employees were screaming every day as they struggled with a shortage of manpower, but because thepany had the belief that only the best talent in the rted industry would be hired, all recruits were scouted from otherpanies and experienced employees. Therefore, it is an object of envy for university students in rted departments, but the entrance gate itself ispletely blocked. The fact that the dream job, which was like a piece of cake in the picture, slightly opened the door that had been blocked, was a truly golden opportunity for them. Thank you professor. You are our eternal benefactor and gift. Please rebuke our ignorance. I hadn''t been able to recognize the professor''s grand dream. sorry. sorry. And thank you! I will work hard from now on! Literally, the 4th grade students praising Professor Kim Tae-Hoon with scalding beyond the deadly sins of ster. And the 3rd and 2nd grade students below it also had a simr reaction. Wow, great. My cousin, who always ridiculed me about where Seomin University was, asked what grade of our college entrance exam I could get. My mother was so envious of those around her that her mouth caught in her ears. Howe you like me more than me? They quickly became the object of envy and envy. Just a few days ago, they were engineering students with a bleak future at an unnamed university, but they have been transformed into future talents with a bright future that are not envious of SKY. Jaeyoung! I know that? I got a call from Chaeyeon this time... Ah! If you''re going to keep doing that, then just confess? None of them were unaware that they were roaring with joy at this great change. Hana, a lowly first-year undergraduate student who is frustrated by hearing about her ssmate''s unrequited love. The fact that he is the real protagonist who brought the wind of change. Chapter 108 Chapter 108 World Tree Awakening (1) Jae-Young esses Arcadia. What greeted him were Tan and El, who were thumping and fighting. Tonight''s dinner is chicken! You goddamn chicken wings! You are trembling. On the topic of bats. Roaring. Kwajijik. Quaang. The torch rising from El''s body and the magic that tumbled from Tan''s hand. Looking at the two fighting with a more serious face than ever before, Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled face. You guys... since when the hell have you been doing this? uh? master! Tan, unaware of Jaeyoung''s return, was engaged in a bloody battle with El. As soon as he saw Jaeyoung, he flew away with a radical reaction different from usual. Fuck! And the body headbutt with all its might. Tan''s attack, full of rage, was quite fierce, even with the figure of a palm-sized familiar. Somebody said they were buying and running while I was away! [Fatal blow!] [The strong shock causes temporary stun.] Jaeyoung received damage that was not fatal, but was negligible. When Jaeyoungy down on the floor because Tan came in without even blinking, L jumped at Tan again. Is this fucking bat not even thinking about what he did? You don''t even remember destroying the altar in the Pagon Mine, do you? You crazy bitch! What is the difference between destroying a sanctuary and destroying a shrine! What is different? How on earth do demons have thick faces to be so shameless? Tan trembles as if he is genuinely angry at L''s words. It looked like it would grab the scruff of the neck and copse if stimted even a little more, but there was no hesitation in El''s vitriol. Didn''t you tell me before? Are you saying that the victim is stupid and that the victim is cheap? Tan and L, who have always fed and fed each other. I don''t know when, but what Tan teased L after feeding him candy. I couldn''t stand the rage on El''s horse for giving it back. Aaaaaaa! You fried chicken to chew on! Tan screamed and pped his wings again as he leaped into the sky. I don''t know when the hell they started repeating this, but the two of them started directing the scene they saw as soon as Jaeyoung logged on earlier. Haa..... Jaeyoung, who has long since given up the idea of drying. In the case of this case, again, it was not unrted to him, so hey still and looked up at the sky. tweet. In the middle of a forest where peaceful birdsong can be heard. A ce full of greenery that makes you feel peaceful just by looking at it. The clear blue sky without a single cloud reflecting through the leaves was so beautiful and heart-purifying that it was hard to see in real life. and that moment. A message popped up in Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The World Tree requests a conversation with you.] [Do you ept this? Y/N] ...? A situation where you are enjoying the beauty and peace of nature while looking at the sky. Jaeyoung slightly frowned at the message that appeared as if he could not leave such a moment alone for even a moment. It''s a game that doesn''t seem to let go of doing nothing, even a little bit of peace. However, Jaeyoung sighed and put his hand to the YES window. [I have epted the conversation with the World Tree.] [Channeling for conversation is activated.] What is this...? With the message that channeling is activated, Jaeyoung suddenly felt a great sense of drowsiness. The kind of drowsiness in which your eyelids, which you cannot resist no matter how much you try to resist, close themselves involuntarily. While Tan and L were fighting fiercely, Jaeyoung fell asleep. Lying in the middle of the forest with a peaceful face. * * * World Tree. A gigantic tree that supports the entire world of Arcadia, and a being that has existed since the beginning of time called the mother of all life. However, after being mortally wounded by the ancient war between angels and demons, she fell into an endless sleep and finally regained consciousness. [What the hell happened...?] The magic of the demon realm that was firmly embedded in her body and tried to corrupt her existence itself. No matter how much he resisted, the dreadful sword, which had been firmly rooted like a parasite, escaped on its own, and the World Tree was finally able to contemte and be conscious of the situation around it, freed from the corrupting energy that strangled his body and consciousness. [Stop resisting and quietly die, you bastard bat.] Tremendous divine aura dwells in Jaeyoung''s body. And he resists it with all his might, but eventually meets a miserable end and shatters the god of death, Deathbringer. After observing all these scenes, the World Tree was able to understand and realize everything. That it was the human standing in front of her that had saved her from eternal sleep. [Don''t panic. I want to talk to you directly, but I don''t have the strength yet, so I invited you to a dream space where I can talk. The body is still where it was.] In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery itself ispletely changed. Jaeyoung was embarrassed to see a young girl suddenly appearing in front of him with a friendly smile, but after hearing her words, he quickly understood the situation. Then you... no, are you the world tree? A girl with green hair. Fair-white skin without a single blemish, with deep eyes that embrace everything in the world, she answered Jae-young''s question with a smile. [Yes. There are various names that call me, but... Most living beings call me that way.] World Tree. Yggdrasill. Tree of Sephiroth. Gaia. Creatures of faith and mythology called her by their own names, but the titles they used to refer to her were the same. The mother of all things, the giver of fertilend and abundance. Thest bastion that supports Arcadia. Truly, if you are a being living in Arcadia, you should be thankful and praised. In particr, she was loved and cared for by the elves, but her influence was so strong that there was not a single creature that her presence did not affect. [First of all... I think I should say thank you first. Thanks to that, I was able to escape from that nasty bastard.] The world tree expresses its gratitude. A title shone brilliantly above Jaeyoung''s head, who stood awkwardly in front of her. [Title Guardian of the World Tree] The effort to get the elves'' hearts back and El''s vengeful spirit to feed Tan properly at this moment were mixed together. But whatever it was, it was true that he was able to be freed thanks to Jaeyoung, so the world tree was looking at him with a favorable gaze. So... can you tell me why you called me? The world tree called Jae-young directly to talk to him. When Jae-young, who was forcibly summoned into her dream, asked with a curious face, she said with her eyes shining. [ah. I wanted to say thank you, but I called because I was really curious.] Are you curious...? A world tree that has questions. She was looking into Jaeyoung''s eyes, bringing her face close enough that Jaeyoung''s breath could reach. Snow so deep you can''t see the end. The world tree muttered with a confused expression on its emerald-colored eyes. [As expected... I can''t see anything. I thought it was unusual because the heads of the heaven and demon worlds were attached, but... It''s more than I thought...] The World Tree mumbles an iprehensible story. And she looked at Jaeyoung again with a really serious face and asked. [What is your true identity? How on earth do you have the power to twist the world when you are a mere human, not an angel or a demon, not a spirit or even a dragon?] The World Tree asked what it really was. Hearing that, Jaeyoung could immediately realize why she wanted to call him out and have a conversation. usibility. The power to distort the given setting ording to cause and effect and to do things that go against the mission. Asked by the World Tree, who noticed the existence of the power that Tan and El were fighting every day to rip off more of it. To her, Jaeyoung sighed and had to talk for a long time. [Hmm... So you''re saying that you''re periodically given tasks like a mission, and after you''ve done them, you''re given probability as a reward?] Yes. Probability that can be obtained through the mission system. At Jaeyoung''s words, the world tree asked again. [Then who gives the mission?] I dont know about that...? The amount of probability was so great that El and Tan would salivate and covet it. Since it is given as a reward in the game system, he had never thought deeply about this issue. Of course, I thought I wanted to see the faces of the crazy developers'' children while watching the missions given to him from time to time. However, at his words, the World Tree muttered with a more serious face. [I wouldn''t be able to figure it out with a normal level of divinity... Then I can''t believe it...] The World Tree frowned and talked to himself about something meaningful. Jaeyoung, who was watching her like that, tilted his head and asked. Why are you like that? Is there any problem? [No... It''s nothing. Rather, I should repay you for helping me.] The world tree hurriedly changed the topic of conversation and handed Jaeyoung a small golden fruit. Jaeyoung received it without thinking and looked around and asked. Fruit? [It''s a precious item, so keep it and use it when you really need it.] Well... thank you. Jae-young received the golden fruit thinking it was a reward for the quest. As he put it in his pocket, Gye-soo looked at Jae-young with a strange expression and asked. [I heard the story of the elves and dwarves. I tried to reconcile those children.] Oh, is that it? To be honest, it''s a little hard to say this, but neither of them was easy. A coboration between racial supremacy and appearance supremacy. Although the two of them were forced to start interacting again, basically, their personalities had deteriorated, so it wouldn''t be strange if a war broke out naturally if left alone. Jae-young''s honest impression was that this time, he saw that he had a sharp angle to fight with humans, not just the two of them. And at Jaeyoung''s words, the world tree nodded with a strangely bitter smile. [It''s my sore fingers. It''s a problem that can be understood and passed on.] Tribes for whom demeaning based on height, appearance, and race is asmonce as breathing. In fact, it was urgent to change the basic values, not just a little bit, but Jae-young sighed, thinking that he was spoiled by the mind of the World Tree that wascent. Well... you know, this time you''ll live well. Anyway, if you''ve said everything, I''m going to go back... Jae-young is worried about what Tan and L are doing outside again. In addition, Jaeyoung tried to go back quickly because of the strange ominous feeling of the world tree in the form of this green girl. But she looked at him with a quiet expectant gaze and asked. [I''m sorry, but can I ask for one more request?] Originally, the World Tree would have had to fight endlessly with the Deathbringer, who tried to corrupt her existence itself in an eternal sleep with no promise. When she wakes up and starts working, a huge narrative hidden in Arcadia begins to move. [warning. Trigger detection of mythical main scenario.] [Act. 25 Pangaea-rted quest creation.] Chapter 109 Chapter 109 World Tree Awakening (2) [I''m sorry, but may I ask you one more favor?] The world tree asks with an expectant expression, shining emerald eyes. In response to her question, Jaeyoung shook her head firmly. I don''t know what you''re asking, but it''s probably hard for me to listen to. world tree. Originally a transcendent being that exists only in mythology. It was not clear exactly what kind of abilities or powers she had, but it was clear that if it was a request from a woman with power and authorityparable to that of a god, it would probably be a quest with a level of difficulty that had no answer. It''s already a situation where the probability is low, but it''s difficult to make it bigger than this.....'' -Probability: 115468. Jae-young, who was obviously trying to end the rtionship with the elves and dwarves. But somehow, Tan shattered the sword of the Demon Realm that he cherished, and he even took the revenge of El, who had been left behind for a long time. As a result, the Great Demon King, who was beaten hard even if he was beaten, and the World Tree, who woke up. Already this much, the aftermath was huge beyond imagination, so Jae-young had no intention of epting her quest, which seemed to be at the level of the main scenario or higher. [Hmm..... It''s difficult? Why do you think that way?] Jae-young showed disapproval and refused before even hearing the story. At his words, the World Tree tilted his head as if he couldn''t understand. The world tree was unable to fully prate everything, but was able to read his fragmentary information. In her eyes, Jae-young was a person who had done and aplished more than any other human being. [I can clearly see it in my eyes. Beginner Killer Artifact Destroyer Nobility Killer Vicious Necromancer Cheater who devours the Demon King The Saint of Slime...? This is unusual.] How did you do that...? The world tree stared nkly at Jaeyoung and started listing his titles one by one. Jaeyoung''s face showed a look of bewilderment at her sudden action, but the world tree looked at Jaeyoung and said with a confident face. [Even though there are a lot of strange things... I believe that if it''s you, you will be able to fulfill my request. No, if you can''t do it, probably no human being can do it. That''s for sure.] The World Tree read Jaeyoung''s title. Although it seemed full of strange titles, at the same time, there were countless feats that other humans could not achieve in their lifetime. noble judge. neutral seeker. Revolutionary Equality. A friend of the dwarves. And the hero of the elves. Jaeyoung is filled with karma that no one can easily build. That is why the World Tree said with a bright smile. [Why don''t you listen to it? What am I asking for?] * * * Original Arcadia. When the world was first created, Arcadia was a huge continent. Pangaea. [The northern world. It is said that there is always a storm full of bitter cold and cold, and it is covered with snow and ice all over. And there lives a white dragon, who is sleeping deeply...] [They say there is a veryrge tree in the center of the world. And there is an endless forest around it, and the fairies and trees that live there are guarding that huge tree that has taken root in the center of the world. ] I have a , so I make various objects and treasures. I like alcohol, so I keep trying to do business with people on the ground, but every time there is a quarrel, so I don''t get along with each other...] A world created in the innocence of a child. A continent so vast that one cannot dare imagine its scale. And it was the world tree that existed at the center of the continent that firmly supported the huge continent. [In the past, Arcadia was made up of one huge continent. But as I fell into an endless sleep, many things changed.] Great War of the Holy Spirit. The catastrophic moment when the entire continent of Arcadia was on the brink of extinction. Although she did her best to protect the creatures of Arcadia, she eventually fell into an eternal sleep and was unable to carry out her mission of firmly supporting the entire continent with her roots. [Eventually, after the Great War ended, the Arcadia continent could no longer maintain its original appearance. For a long time, it gradually started to diverge, and as a result of being separated, it has now been torn and divided into numerous continents...] A story in a myth that is like the book of Genesis. Jaeyoung admired inwardly as he listened to the story of the world tree. Who the hell made these settings...?'' Stories and settings in the hidden myths that are not even written in Arcadia''s history. It''s surprising every time I y Arcadia, but the fact that so many things have yet to be revealed made me realize that this world is bigger than I thought and that there are so many unknown contents in this game that I haven''t experienced yet. So... what do you want from me? The world tree that hasn''t told me why I''m telling this story yet. She responded directly to Jaeyoung''s question. [I want the scattered continents toe together again.] ...Yes? Jaeyoung''s face hardened when he heard the world tree''s words. Continents scattered across Arcadia. It was never officially revealed exactly how many there were, but we knew for sure what was on those continents. [The destruction of beginner viges on the second continent of Arcadia...] [The slime crisis on the second continent of Arcadia...] [On the second continent of Arcadia...] (Note) A modifier used whenever Arcadia Korean branch makes an official statement. 2nd continent. That said, the first, second, and third continents existed within Arcadia, and on each continent, users of different nationalities were ying Arcadia. Therefore, the goal that the World Tree is dreaming of is none other than... Is it server integration...? [yes? What kind of integration...?] The World Tree heard Jaeyoung muttering to himself. Jaeyoung shook his head when he asked, tilting his head as if he didn''t understand his words properly. No, nothing. Rather... how can I do that? The continents of Arcadia, where you can''t even figure out how far away they are. It was impossible for Jae-young to do something on a ridiculous scale ofbining them into one. It''s not like they''re collecting DragonX, and it''s because they won''t be able to move those huge continents with human power. However, at Jaeyoung''s question, the world tree smiled and said as if it was simple. [It''s not that difficult. But the problem is that I haven''t recovered enough to exert that kind of power.] Isn''t that... difficult? At her words, Jaeyoung looked at the world tree with an absurd look. She took the form of a little girl with green hair. But in reality, Jaeyoung asked, realizing that it was a huge, unknown tree that dominated the entire continent of Arcadia... no, this virtual world. all right. So what do you want me to do for you? [Hmm... I''m not asking you to do it right away. Just bring me the things I need when you have time to spare and when you feel empowered.] Necessary things? What is it? Jaeyoung asks what items are needed. At his question, the World Tree smiled and said, [Dragon Heart.] ..... Jaeyoung looks at the World Tree with an absurd expression at those words. Seeing Jaeyoung''s expression like that, she added a word. [Ah, please bring it to an ancient dragon level or higher. I think it will be effective only at that level.] ...Fuck. Anyway, this game is like X. * * * Jaeyoung wakes up. The first thing he saw upon awakening was the face of a young elf looking down at him with round eyes. uh! Melissa Neim! Here, human, wake up! Jaeyoung must have fallen asleep somewhere in the grass. However, it seems that the elves found him lying down and moved it, and the ce where Jaeyoung is is none other than Melissa''s residence. [The quest Scattered Continent'' has been created.] Notification that the quest has been created. Jaeyoung opened the quest window with aplicated expression and let out a deep sigh. [Quest Scattered Continents] Arcadia, which used to be one continent, has now split into several continents. Recover the awakened world tree and unite the scattered continents again. -Dragon Heart (0/1) Dragon. The World Tree made the horrific requirement of catching a dragon and offering its heart. Jaeyoung''s head started pounding at her request to bring the heart of the dragon, the strongest in the world of Arcadia. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoh oh) why can''t there be no sane asaone asaaaaaaaaa) an angel who looks more vicious than a devil sometimes; A devil he likes and gives a thumbs up saying that he learns what true evil is by taking notes. The disparate races whose personalities could not burst and evaporated. In addition, there is a holy church that does not hesitate to massacre and culturally obliterate the idea of monotheism. Even if you look back one by one, the worldview and settings in the game do not seem to exist for normal people. Jae-young began to think seriously about whether there was a rule in this game where he had to let go of his mind instead of getting stronger. You are awake! While Jaeyoung was sitting with a serious expression on her face, Melissa heard Kanna''s cry and hurriedly ran from somewhere. She had an urgent look on her face. What''s going on? Melissa doesn''t seem to be able to even say how quickly she ran. Looking at her with a curious look, Jaeyoung asked, and she shouted with a face full of joy. The World Tree...! The world tree has awakened! Melissa is led by the cries of the elves who make a fuss about her. What she saw in the huddled elves was a miraculous sight. This is...? The wooden pirs of the World Tree, which had apparently been stained ck before. The parts where ck spots had sprouted here and there, as if caught in a gue, returned to brown as if they had always been there. And the scent of nature that emanates intensely unlike before. I could clearly feel the movement of a huge life force that seemed to pulsate throughout the forest. This cant be... The World Tree. She is the mother of all things and symbolizes nature itself. The fact that her presence, which had been faintly felt until now, was felt more clearly than ever, and Melissa could not control her emotions. And the beings who started flying around the World Tree with curious faces. The faces of the elves who faced them were astonished. Look at that! They are spirits! I can''t believe it.... I didn''t even summon it, but the spirits appeared in their natural state... I can''t believe it..... After the world tree, which was nature itself, fell asleep, the connection between the Arcadia continent and the spirit world was almost closed. It was a situation. At least, it was at the level of barely borrowing the power of the spirits by using the spirit power that only the elves had. Spirits appearing in nature meant only one thing. Channeling with that spirit world has been restored! How can it be! This is a miracle! The elves were truly in a festive mood. But Jaeyoung couldn''t be happy to see them like that. Hey, Melissa. yes. Why are you like that? Jaeyoung with a very dark expression. Jaeyoung asked Melissa, who answered him with worried eyes, full of sincerity. Do you have any dragon hearts? Chapter 110 Chapter 110 GM Group (1) Arfandia where numerous videos are uploaded every day. Thetest hot topic in thismunity was the location of the elves and dwarves. [ording to my research, the most likely ce for elves and dwarves is probably a hidden ce among the realms of the Holy Empire. Especially in the case of the elves, the Pope himself tried to hide their existence...] [Quest to find the dwarf vige! Let''s see how we can get it. Now, it''s good to have a hammer ready. Our destination is this bar. The owner here is very short. There is a secret rumor that he is an old mixed blood of the dwarves...] Those who upload videos while blowing rice cakes iming to be carrying out quests rted to elves and dwarves. However, most of these videos were false information, so rather, victims who were trying to imitate them clumsily began to appear one after another. -Oops, here''s a video scam. If you go to a bar with a hammer, the owner takes the hammer and smashes the pot without asking. be careful. I was about to die. -lol. No, what''s wrong with the owner of the bar there... He''s a short dwarf half-race jam. -This is why Arfandia is being criticized. If it''s not clear information, don''t upload the video. Is it good to cheat and suck up views? -Ah, if you''re going to annoy people like this, can''t you just disclose it? Why the hell are you leaving so few people alone? It''s not just an event, it''s arge-scale content called a vige of different races. If it was a general game, it would have been insufficient even if the gamepany itself had advertised huge amounts of advertisements on various media including TV beforehand, but this damn game had no official mention of it. [Arcadia''s top priority is to provide users with a realistic, vivid experience amidst unlimited freedom and infinite possibilities. In the case of viges of elves and dwarves, we do not disclose them, so that users can naturally enjoy the joy of discovery in adventure and exploration...] Rather, the gamepany said that they will never reveal anything, so find them to their best ability. official announcement. In response to these gamepanies, Arpandia started to burn hotly. -Ha..... It''s the first virtual reality game, so I''m really tired of running it. -lol. This game is really hardcore and fun. Ignore even if you make users ves. Even if the slime destroys the vige, ignore it. Are you just a fan of users? -This fucking operators. It is clear that only perverts were selected and hired. Even now, while browsing the bulletin board, you must beughing and enjoying the suffering of the users? However, unlike the burning bulletin board, various forces were secretly moving in the game. Dont miss even the slightest clue or information. Some of the special quests in this game start with a small graffiti in the town. Check everything thoroughly! Competing guilds say they are putting all their energy into finding viges of different races... What is our guild doing right now? I don''t care how much gold it costs! Just find it! Groups such as guilds and guilds. And even rankers who dream of being the best in their respective positions. At that time when many forces are engaged in a secret and fierce battle behind the scenes. GM''s upper management team was also frantic about collecting information by mobilizing all their capabilities. I have found someone who knows the exact location of the Dwarven Vige, Lord of the Upper Chamber. Choi Jae-gyu, the owner of GM. he asked, staring intently at his attendant as he entered, his face slightly reddened with excitement. Are you sure this time? That''s right. He''s a user with a job called Pathfinder, who specializes in adventure and exploration... Judging from his resume, he seems to be reliable. Choi Je-gyu turns around with eyes full of disbelief after receiving the wads of papers handed over by his assistant. He soon looked at the splendid history and muttered with his distinctive eyes. hmm? Was the recently discovered ancient dungeon discovered by this person? That''s right. It is said that it is a professional exploration of the ancient history and geography of Arcadia, so it has been confirmed where the dwarves are most likely hiding and rted documents have been obtained. okay....? Arcadia, where information is directly linked to money and strength. The operator, who was too uncooperative with the users, yed a part in this, but because of the vast terrain and so many relics and ruins hidden all over the ce that I couldn''t dare to guess, there were jobs that specialized only in rted work. By the way... the amount you ask for is a lot. However, instead of providing a key position, his secretary who said with a puzzled expression that the amount of gold he demanded in return was unexpected. Jaegyu asked at his words. How much are you asking for? That... asked for 100 million. what....? 1 million? A sum toorge to give in exchange for information about a hidden vige. Jegyu made an absurd expression at the assistant secretary''s statement, but he said it as if he was unfair. This, too, has been cut as much as possible. The original request was 500 million. Ha... You just do whatever you want to see. Damn information peddlers. It is an amount that is difficult to collect even if you work hard for 3-4 years from getting a job at apany and save money. Jegyu''s face turned stern as he wondered if he should give it to an unknown person in the corner of the room who was just lying quietly in the capsule and ying games. Are you certain about that information? If it''s false information... You don''t have to worry about that part. If the rted information is false, I n to write a contract by paying a penalty for this and meet it in person. In real life? yes. ..... Jegyus expression softened even more at the words of the attendants secretary that he intended to meet him in real life. It is also true that the parent body of GM is none other than the Korean conglomerate, the GM Group. No sane person would have dared tomit a fraudulent scam against the GM Group, as long as his identity was revealed. Once I get it. As long as the information was clear, I was willing to pay about 100 million won. Jaegyu knew better than anyone else the value of information in Arcadia. Wouldn''t even he himself have almost reaped astronomical gains just by obtaining an advance n that would lead to a war? Of course, because the war was canceled, it was only a weak profit. All right. Then...we''ll deal with it that way. Ah, by the way... the user nickname is... Choco Piezoa, right? Did you know anything about that user? Choco Pie Joe. Now, he rules the slime, which has be the strongest monster that he cannot dare to touch, at will, reveals the dwarf and elven viges for the first time, and even battles between unknown angels and demons rted to the world tree. Everyone who saw what he showed in the video had the same thought. If only we could get that person into our guild''s hands...'' If we could share even a part of the rted quests and work together to break it... if....?'' invitation. A user who looks like a duck with a belly full of golden eggs. Strangely enough, however, there was little information about him on the Inte. That''s why everyone is desperately looking for him. Jaegyu was one of those people. Oh thats... Why is it difficult? An attendant secretary with a puzzled face and slurred speech. He sighed and said with a dark expression. That... I recently found out that one of our agencys BJs had been in close contact with that Choco Piezoa user. what....? As if surprised by those words, Jegyu opened his eyes wide and asked back. To him, the attendant''s assistant waved his hand around in the air, and soon a window opened in front of Jegyu''s eyes. Recently, a BJ named Younghee'' and Bruce'', who were recruited from our side, jointly filmed a video, and there was Choco Piejoa in the form of an invited guest by chance. [If everyone is gathered, let''s go to punish the orcs.] A video of Young-hee and Bruce following Young-hee and Bruce as they silently hunt slimes, then leave the party and lead the slimes to an orc colony. Seeing that, Jegyu said with an absurd expression. what? Was this video made while filming with our BJs? Why didn''t I know that until now? It was a situation where people from his agency apanied and even talked. However, since there has been no report on the rted content so far, Jegyu''s eyes have turned cold. Thats it... At that time, it was a situation where we didnt sign a contract, so it seems that the agency waste in grasping the situation and dealing with rted issues. sorry. You''re stupid. At least if you had followed that user''s instructions, you might have been in contact with them until now. In the video, Jegyu ruthlessly rejected his offer and eventually saw even the viewers watching the broadcast fly away. He muttered, clicking his tongue as if he was pathetic. Considering the fact that Choco Paijoa has been consistently uncooperative from the beginning, it may have been difficult, but... Anyway, I will continue to track it. If you find it, recruit it unconditionally. I don''t care how much it costs, so make sure to make it on our side by all means. Okay...then Ill take care of it right away. After saying that, the attendant secretary left the room. Even after he left, Jegyu read the stack of papers for a long time and was lost in thought. It''s a vige of dwarves... The GM upper ss was created based on the capital of the GM Group. Although Jegyu''s father and chairman Choi Chun-sik was very angry at the group''s image as a whole suffered a painful loss due to the recent exposure video of instigating a war, and there was no further funding support, but his top group was still on the rise. Top Financial Position. A gigantic spear appeared in front of Jegyu''s muttering. It was full ofplex figures and graphs and consisted of dozens of pages. And for a long time, Jaegyu carefully checked the contents of it and smiled while looking at the total assets listed at the end. - Estimated total assets: 5124651 Gold His top started with 500,000 gold when he first started. Although the war was abolished, after that, a rare massacre called a witch hunt took ce, and thanks to skyrocketing grain prices, Jae-gyu made a huge profit and was revived as a knight. Even after that, he was running the upper ranks fairly reliably, making full use of the talents of the lineage of being a member of a chaebol family. If only I could preupy the dwarves vige and secure an exclusive position in dealing with them... Jae-gyu, whose hatred for Chairman Choi Chun-sik was properly embedded. But he promised. He said that he would definitely return to the business war with the presidency by creating huge operating profits that other brothers could not achieve through Arcadia. Jae-gyu''s eyes were terribly full of venom as he recalled the ns to achieve them. I must... I must find the dwarves first. But Jaegyu didn''t know. The fact that while his assistant faithfully followed the instructions and bought information from a user by paying 100 million won, the location of the vige of elves and dwarves he so desperately wanted was kindly spread on the map of Arcadia with a marking on it. I mean. Chapter 111 Chapter 111 GM Group (2) Sand of Forge, the city of dwarves. The city of the elves, the ce where the world tree sleeps. While several people wandered around with their eyes on to find out the location of these two ces, Iplus CEO Jo Seo-wook was sitting in a cafe, sipping coffee with a stiff face. Hey, Chief Joe. Stop being still like that and say something. A middle-aged man with a restless face sitting in front of CEO Seo-wook Cho. At his words, CEO Jo Seo-wook put down the coffee cup and spoke in a cold voice. Dont call me Chief Joe. Do you still see me as an employee of the GM Group, General Manager Lim Young-ho? No matter how much I was a subordinate, I think you should keep basic courtesy. Sitting in front of him is none other than Lim Young-ho, head of the Marketing Division, who oversees GM Group''s public rtions strategy. CEO Jo Seo-wook''s attitude towards him was unbelievably hostile to say that he was an old boss. However, Lim Young-ho, head of the headquarters, kept his mouth shut, unable to refute Seo-wook Cho''s barbed remarks. Hey... are you still doing that because of that? What''s up? Are you saying that the higher ups demanded absurd performance, and the whole team was constantly pestering them to match it, but in the end, the result was a mess, so they secretly took responsibility and pulled their feet out? Or are you saying that we ignored all our opinions and insisted on doing what we wanted? Kheuheum..... CEO Seowook Cho, who left thepany not very well. There were many reasons for this, but the person who had the greatest influence among them was Lim Young-ho, head of headquarters. He showed the extreme of ipetence to the point of doubting how he got the title of head of marketing. However, on the contrary, because he showed excellent in-house politics that even a ghost couldsh out at, he maintained his position as general manager without any reprimand even though the image of the GM Group was shattered. That makes me very sorry. What should I do? Some people upstairs say that someone has to take responsibility... It was a choice I had no choice but to live on. His attitude is irresponsible to the point of being impudent. However, CEO Cho Seo-wook said in a tone as if it was okay because he had no intention of arguing with him over the past. I dont need an apology that I dont have in my heart, so stop it. The reason why I came here now is because I thought of old friendships. Please tell me why you wanted to meet me soon. CEO Cho Seo-wook is full of desire to finish his work and get up from his seat. Head of headquarters Lim Young-ho took out a brown envelope from his bag and handed it to him. What is this? The GM Group wants to officially take over thepany you founded. Its the merger agreement that followed. The merger agreement...? Iplus Co., Ltd. A new managementpany and a truly small agency with only one officially signed BJ. At the suggestion that he wanted to take over such apany, CEO Cho Seo-wook''s face was absurd. Slightly curious, CEO Cho Seo-wook took out the documents from the envelope and began to carefully examine the terms and conditions of the contract. Employment session for all IPlus employees... In addition, in the case of existing employees, special promotion bonuses are given, and performance bonuses are paid. Isnt that a good enough condition? Oh, and you and your subordinates can just run thepany as they normally would. Because I have no intention of changing the current operation from above. It guaranteespletely autonomous operation. A proposal to leave the operation of an independentpany without forcing GM Entertainment to merge with it. There was no doubt that it was an undeservedly favorable condition to receive as a reward for being held in the arms of a huge back ship called GM. But CEO Jo Seo-wook is not that stupid. The GM Group he experienced was a viciouspany that sucked down the marrow of its employees and extracted more than they generously paid their sries. This... is it because of Choco Piejoa? Startle. He is the only BJ recruited by Iplus and the main character of the topic that is heating up the whole of Arfandia and Arcadia. He released only 5 videos on his channel. However, even with that small number of videos, it showed its destructive potential to eat up numerous channels of Arpandia and rise to the top, so the status of iPlus was also soaring without knowing how high it was. And CEO Jo Seo-wook nodded his head after noticing the momentary change in the expression of General Manager Lim Young-ho. As expected.. but everyone here and there is trying to find out about our customers personal information somehow, but the GM Group seems to have a simr ulterior motive. CEO Jo Seo-wook is already having such a tiring time that the work itself is paralyzed due to callsing in from here and there. As if it was not worth listening to anymore, he pushed the papers back in front of Lim Young-ho and got up from his seat. All right. I already turned around badly and left. When I kick them out, I have no intention of going back, even if theye and catch me this way. ...Hey, Team Leader Joe. No Joe representative. Think carefully. Even if it seems like it''s going to be popr right now, it''s this floor that disappears without a sound after a while. How long do you think you canst with just one Choco Piejoa? One hit wonder. In fact, it was the mostmon urrence in the management industry. Even if you hit the jackpot by recruiting one talented person, it is natural and natural for the industry to copse sooner orter without a basic foundation. In particr, with the exception of Choco Paijoa, there were no recruited BJs, so it was true that Iplus was in a very unstable state when viewed from a cool and objective perspective. Dont let a good opportunity pass by because of bad rtionships in the past. Of course, it''s true that Choco Paijoa had a big influence on this proposal, but the executives are talking again about howpetent your team is. If I take this opportunity to return to thepany confidently, maybe... General Manager Lim Young-ho whispers sweet words and rmends a contract. However, CEO Cho Seo-wook cut off his words with firm eyes that did not waver at all. Don''t worry. From my point of view, Choco Piejoa... He is not the kind of person who can end up as a one-hit wonder. And even if we merge with GM Entertainment, will that person continue their contract with us? What do you mean...? Did you forget? At that time, who was the culprit whopletely destroyed the corporate image by calling the entire group a war criminal corporation and portraying it as money-crazed demons? Jegyu Choi, the youngest son of GM Group. Choco Piezoa revealed in a video how he found out what he had prepared under a meticulous n in Arcadia. Even CEO Jo Seo-wook felt the irony of not knowing how to react to the fact that the culprit who was kicked out of thepany signed a contract with his agency. Of course, there were so many additional benefits he created, so it was now a clean-cleansed bad rtionship, but the GM group, which suffered astronomical losses, was obviously still grinding its teeth. I think if you hear the letter G in GM Group, you will probably break the contract and run away right away? CEO Jo Seo-wook speaks with a grin. At his words, General Manager Lim Yeong-ho seemed to have nothing to say, but his mouth pursed his lips. And now, as if he had nothing more to say, he saw CEO Jo Seo-wook, who rose from his seat without hesitation, and he spat out vicious words at the displeasure welling up in his heart. joy. How far do you think you can go with a campaigning video just by finding a hidden vige? A word thrown by Lim Young-ho, head of headquarters, as if sarcastic. At that word, CEO Jo Seo-wook stopped walking and turned his head to ask. What do you mean? Did you know that only a user named Choco Paizoa can find the territory of elves and dwarves? Numerous users are already wandering around looking for that ce, and in fact, our agencys BJ has also figured out the most likely ce. If you didn''t know the existence itself, you wouldn''t know. There are already a lot of clues that can infer where the rted area is through the video. So Lim Yeong-ho, head of the headquarters, was convinced that he could find the city of the dwarves and elves in no time. In particr, ording to the information obtained with arge amount of money recently, it is already a matter of time before it is discovered. For this reason, Lim Yeong-ho, head of the division, revealed his true colors as he had no reason to lower his stance when the deal had already copsed. Lets see. I wonder how sessful you and those who went to work after you kicked off this offer andughed at how sessful they were. No matter how much they recruited a hot topic, the difference in weight ss between Iplus and GM Entertainment is overwhelming. That''s why Lim Young-ho, head of headquarters, was confident of winning the fight against them. Because it was easy to step on them so that the energy required to contain and harass a small startup was not so burdensome. Keukheop... Phuhahahahaha. However, despite his chilling warning, CEO Seo-wook Cho suddenly burst intoughter. His reaction made Lim Yeong-ho, general manager, feel like he was making fun of him, and he burst into anger with an unknown sense of insult. Hey, what are you doing right now? Are my words funny right now? CEO Jo Seo-wook can''t stopughing as if it''s really fun. Laughing so loudly, it even caught the attention of the people who were chatting in the cafe. Haa... Thanks to this, Iughed for the first time in a long time. To hear such concerns about thepany''s vision from the person who was kicked out so coldly. It''s something the world doesn''t know. Right, chief? CEO Jo Seo-wook smiles round and round with a face full ofposure. He confidently looked into the eyes of Headquarters Director Lim Young-ho, whom he had not easily met before, and said. One hit wonder. I don''t know what that might be. But before that, I will recruit BJs who are attracted by his reputation to expand the size of iPlus as much as possible and strengthen its stability. Ah, we will actively promote joint contents with various famous guilds and rankers that have recently been pushed in. On top of that... it''s okay if we add advertisements from variousrgepanies that keeping in with proposals, right? Iplus is already famous enough to be known by everyone in the rted industry. CEO Cho Seo-wook, busy with thoughts of rowing fiercely when the wateres in, said with a bright smile at General Manager Lim Young-ho''s words. A month ago. If I had made this offer a month ago, I might have bowed down and signed the contract. However, the trend has alreadypletely turned. This kind of contract was not tempting at all to Seo-wook Cho, who was convinced that he could now stand alone perfectly. That''s why he spoke to Director Lim Young-ho in a tone full of mockingughter. But what? Have I already lost the value of thepany I own? This bastard... Even if he is the CEO of anotherpany, he worked as a subordinate of his until recently. That''s why Lim Young-ho, head of headquarters, could not ept the current reality. The position of CEO Seo-wook Cho, who dared to rise to a level that he could not do anything about. Ah... and the vige of the dwarves and elves. Before leaving, CEO Cho Seo-wook stopped walking again as if he had just remembered, turned around, smiled broadly, and left. Anyway, I n to reveal the location through a video today. what....? Lim Yeong-ho, head of headquarters, stopped thinking for a moment after hearing CEO Jo Seo-wook say that the location of the elf and dwarf viges would be revealed. He sat there nkly for a long time even after CEO Seo-wook Cho left. Without knowing what chaos is going on in Arfandia and Arcadia. Chapter 112 Chapter 112 GM Group (3) Arcadia''s Crisis Management Response Team. It was a new team led by Kang Tae-hoon, who oversaw the entire development team and the department that was in charge of Arcadia''s main scenario in the past. And they couldn''t open their eyes because they had a busy daily life that was iparable to the previous one. Yes, so you should inquire about development work using virtual reality technology not to us, but to the department in charge of external exchange... Yes? You connected me here from there? Customerints are received from our team... Calls rted to different races...? yes? An analysis report for the newly created main scenario? Oh, I''m writing that right now. Employees who werepletely excluded from the existing quest development work and now wanted to feel a little morefortable. However, they were frustrated because of the work pouring out here and there. Uh... Chief, I really can''t do this. Crisis management and response team employees taking a short break and drinking coffee with sullen faces. No matter how long they had been working, their faces were all tired. Sure... I''m really going to die too. Even the manager, who is supposed to appease his subordinates,ins that he will die. At his words, the employees took out the dissatisfaction they had in their hearts with dissatisfied faces. No, its good to be assigned other tasks. But why do I have to deal with the work rushing to Jung-gu Heating in this way, rather than just doing the prescribed work? No, it''s a customerint, but does it make sense to ask us to handle it as a call rted to a different race? Thats right, chief. It''s not standardized like the work we used to do, and I think this is too inefficient. I was writing an analysis report on the newly changed main scenario, but suddenly another inquiry about virtual reality technology exchange cooperation came in... When one person startedining,ints started to burst out like a flood. The manager, who had been silently listening to it, said with a dark expression. Is there a way for me to do it..... I''m going to take it off if it''s going to be done..... The matter has already been finally decided above. I don''t know exactly how far the story went and it was finally decided, but ording to rumors, it was the head office''s decision to deprive the authority to develop the quest. At least, the situation was out of the hands of Director Kang Tae-hoon or Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. So, there was nothing that low-level employees or middle-management positions could do except pour outints behind the scenes. Think good. It''s something only we can do, and we''re asking because we need our help. But... Honestly, you all know. Does anyone know Arcadia''s game system and its details in as much detail as our department? Other departments just know fragments of development or nning in a given task, but not us. Talents who yed a key role in developing Arcadia''s main scenario. That''s why they had a lot of information inside Arcadia that they could ess, and they were actually all-round employees who could solve problems scattered in various departments in various ways. But... And there are still many people in thepany who do not know anything about information rted to elves and dwarves, except for the rted departments. If you think about that, I think it''s right that we, who are dealing with top-secret information, are in charge of most of the work, so I think it''s too much... Quaang. It was a big deal! I wasforting my subordinates in the middle of the day, but the youngest employee suddenly pushed the door into the break room. The manager and the crisis management and response team members looked at him with a white face and gasped for breath, and looked puzzled. why? What''s going on? What are you fussing about? A face like a bomb exploded. The youngest employee, who had been breathing heavily for a while, said with a trembling voice. A new video has appeared on the Wave Destroyer channel. What... what? really? Those who said that made their faces contemte and were startled. The manager jumped up from his seat and approached the youngest employee with a serious expression and asked. Did you check the contents of the video? what? Did he do something strange again? The channel most feared by crisis management response teams. Destroyer''s routine. A channel that is like a time bomb that only creates an instant situation where you don''t know when, where, or how an incident will explode. The notification that the video was updated on the channel was literally a celebration for the crisis management and response team to announce that they were working overtime. But the reality is harsh. The youngest employee walked into the break room gasping and told them the harsh truth they unfortunately never wanted to hear. The locations of elves and dwarves have beenpletely disclosed. Sir..... Today was also a peaceful day for Arcadia''s Crisis Management Response Team. * * * The time when the Crisis Management Response Team is screaming in rage. Jaeyoung was talking to CEO Seowook Cho over the phone, checking to see if the video he edited and uploaded went up well. Wow, because of me, there were people who tried to take over thepany itself? [yes. There must have been a reason to get information about the location of the viges of elves and dwarves.... Rather, I think the purpose was to recruit Choco Paijoa.] GM Entertainment under the GM Group. A malicious ulterior motive to merge Jaeyoung with Iplus and put Jaeyoung under their control. However, at CEO Jo Seo-wook''s statement that he refused, Jae-young smiled and nodded. Good job. I heard that you came out of the GM group badly, but you must have been quite excited. [Ha ha ha ha ha! Iknow, right. I feel like I''ve lost my 10-year-old congestion.] CEO Jo Seo-wook speaks with a bright face. Listening to his voice, which showed no remorse even after kicking the opportunity to get a lot of money, Jaeyoung said in a satisfied voice. thank god. I would have been disappointed if it had gone to the GM group. From the moment that GM''s war was revealed the other day, it has already crossed an irreversible river. If iPlus had entered into a cooperative rtionship with GM Group, Jaeyoung would have terminated the contract with them without the slightest hesitation, but there seemed to be no reason for that for the time being. [Oh, by the way, isn''t there a video uploaded this time.....] Yes, why? Is there anything strange about it? [Uh... is that..... that Melissa...? I don''t understand the meaning of what the elf queen said.] This is a new video uploaded by Jaeyoung. A part of the conversation with the elven queen at the end, like a cookie video, was attached to that short video exining the exact location of the cities of the dwarves and elves, spread out on the map of Arcadia and even painted with markers. [Do not worry! I have no intention of rejecting all human beings. We, too, need a lot of help from humans. There are plenty of seats for beautiful people.] Beautiful people.'' Jaeyoung didn''t ask exactly, but considering the basic tendencies of the elves he felt, he seemed to know roughly what her intentions were. Ugly bastards are punished. Good-looking humans are wee.'' At first nce, it is clear that the discrimination policy of the enormous elves will receive users by screening them through subjective appearance evaluation. However, Jae-young, who had been trying for three days to innovate this morous appearance supremacy, had already given up for a long time, so he answered CEO Seo-wook Jo''s question without thinking. Perhaps it means that only users who meet certain conditions will be epted without epting dogs or cows. I don''t know exactly that, so you''ll have to go and experience it for yourself. [Oh, I see. I understand.] Yes. Then stop..... Jaeyoung hung up the phone. He let out a deep sigh and shook his head. Ugh... Just looking at the elves is like this, but just thinking about what the dwarves are like is horrible. They are elves. Dwarves who have never been able to talk about interactions with humans, even though Jaeyoung taught them not to show off in the slightest through character education for a long time. That''s why Jae-young couldn''t imagine what kind of criteria they would be used to screen out human beings. However, Jaeyoung''s curiosity was soon resolved. * * * Sangsan lord, no, young boy! It was a big deal. ...Is it because of that video? Ah... have you seen it? Choi Jae-gyu is watching a video on hisputer after disconnecting from the game. The secretary, who had been at a loss for what to do with a restless expression in front of him, carefully brought up the story. The information we obtained turned out to be true. The location disclosed by Choco Pie exactly matched the information we purchased. 1 million. The information that was purchased for arge amount of money of 100 million won. An investigation team was dispatched ording to the information they had just obtained, but the video was released at a false timing as if they were waiting for it. Seeing that, Jegyu couldn''t hold back the rising anger. Quaang. You fucking bastard! If you are going to disclose information in this way, please disclose it in advance! Why is this shit only after we find out! No matter how much I think about it, the timing is so perfect that I doubt that I have been waiting all this time to fuck myself. However, when Jae-gyu was shivering and unable to stand the strain, his attendant said to him with an urgent face. Boss, people''s reactions are more unusual than that. I think we need to implement the n we were preparing right now. It was predicted that location information would not be disclosed for a while. However, thements on Jaeyoung''s video were explosive because his position had already been revealed to the world. - Wow, that prediction was right. Amil and Shurim were the ces where the cities of the two races were hidden. -Ah, I used to go around there to see if there was anything there. I''ll look for a little more. -As expected, it was true that gamepanies made it hardcore because it was underdeveloped. - Ohhh! I''m near Shurim. I''m running right now. -If you go to Amil, can you see the pretty elves with your own eyes? Even now, many users are moving towards Shurim and Amil. Originally, Jegyu was preparing a n to find and preupy the city of the dwarves faster than anyone else, and monopolize the trade for the products made by the dwarven artisans. However, since the exact location had already been disclosed to the public, every minute and every second had be a waste of time, so he had no choice but to be desperate. Now pack up the crew and prepare to depart. He told me to gather water that the dwarves would like. No matter what happens, we arrive first and break through the business line. Yes, I understand. The secretary who hurriedly leaves the office at his words. Jegyu stared at his back for a moment, theny down in an antique capsule located on one side of the office. [Wee to the fantasy world of Arcadia.] Jae-gyu tries to preupy the market where huge gold is hidden by mobilizing all the capabilities of the upper ranks. Simr movements began to ur simultaneously in many ces. Curiosity grows quickly. Hidden quests and rewards. People started to move their feet towards the hidden city of different races with various goals. Towards the Great Desert and the Great Forest, which had been called the 5 forbidden areas of Arcadia until now. Chapter 113 Chapter 113 Dwarves vs. Elves (1) There are many jobs that exist in Arcadia. Bothbat sses and nonbat sses had their own characteristics and strengths, but some of them were divided into popr and shunned jobs. And among them, the explorer is full of romance, but it was really one of the worst non-mainstream jobs. Explorers? Isn''t that trash? The fighting ability is insignificant, and it is useless except for skills such as disarming traps and detecting artifacts. It is a lucky job. To get a big reward or profit, you have to find valuable ruins or artifacts, but how easy is that? Its no different from a piece of shit that isnt efficient against time. Those who usually jump into Arcadia imagining that they grow and be powerful at the same time, get good items, and be rich with the gold obtained through them. Of course, there were some who simply enjoyed the game itself, doing what they wanted to do as a hobby, but most of them dreamed of making a living through Arcadia. - What job should I do to make a lot of money? -If you have money, do it as a merchant. If you invest a few billion and roll it, you say it''s good? -What a risky job being a damn merchant. If you are picky and get scammed properly or meet a thief and steal all your stuff, you can lose all your investment in an instant. -Are you trying to make money ying the Shiba game? Actually that''s right. After paying over 10 million won for capsules and 200,000 won per month in usage fees, I couldn''t stop thinking about money. Except for some economically wealthy people, Arcadia has no choice but to be an extravagant hobby because of its high price. That''s why even those who want to enjoy it naturally have no choice but to be biased towardsbat ss jobs that can easily earn gold. That''s why one of the jobs that are avoided is an explorer. In particr, the path of an explorer in Arcadia, which is unfathomably gigantic, was a rugged thorny road that could not be easily challenged unless one had extensive knowledge of Arcadia and archaeological skills. However, among the countless users who y Arcadia, there was one unique person who insisted on walking on such a thorny path. Heo-euk... heo-euk... I finally found it! Azreal ying as an explorer. In the middle of the Great Desert Shrim, he let out a heavy breath and shouted in a voice full of joy. In the ultra-high heat desert of death where only sand could be seen beyond the horizon, Azreal finally found it by synthesizing countless documents and stories of various NPCs. This is... the entrance to Sand of Forge, thest city of the dwarves! A stone artifact standing alone in the middle of the desert. And looking at the unique geometric patterns engraved on the artifact, Azreal shouted with a face full of joy. Finally found aaaaaa! Although not the first, Azreal found the hidden city that appeared in the video. With a face full of excitement and anticipation, he took a wad of old paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and began slowly to align the arrangements on the stone artifact. If you move this as shown here... Azreal was arranging the arrangements like putting together a puzzle. And as he put thest piece of stonework together, a strange sound was heard. Click- and the earth trembled loudly with him. Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A tremendous roar echoed and the sand violently sank to the bottom. After the thick sand had settled, Azreal found that the ground in the middle of the Great Desert split in half, revealing a hidden entrance. It''s here! I finally found it! In the city of dwarves, the Sands of Forge...! Azreal ran in front of the doorway in a hurry. But before he could get inside, someone jumped out and blocked his way. Stop! human! How dare you say where is this ce, our hidden passage! Dwarves appeared with hammers and weapons in their hands and attacked hostilely. As if they were trying to break his pot right now, Azreal panicked and opened his mouth, but the dwarves were faster. [Caught in a special capture.] [Insufficient basic stats to resist.] [Caught in abnormal status suppression.] Kuuuuu! Free this! Azreal is caught in a that has flown in from somewhere and is instantly subdued. He struggled in the and shouted at the dwarves, who looked like they were going to break his earthen pot with that vicious hammer at any moment. I am not a strange person. Just a simple explorer. Explorer! Why are you looking for our city? And, like before, they''re ying nonsense to steal our things! Originally, a sister-inw who gently puts indirect deals from the side is more X-like than a mother-inw who craves directly. In the war with the elves in the past, the hostility of the dwarves towards Azreal was bound to be infinitely hostile, as the ill feelings towards the humans who had nothing to eat had not yet been resolved. It will definitely reveal our location to other humans. Let''s lock him up deep underground. Yes, I will make sure you never see the sunlight again. After deciding to imprison them in the deep dungeons of the Sands of Forge, the members of the Hammer Troopers try to take Azreal with them. Hearing their story, his expression became contemtive. Wait.... Locked in a dungeon...? how much?'' Usually, if you enter a vige aftermitting a crime and are unlucky enough to be caught by a guard, you will go to prison. I heard that there are cases where some special events are hidden, but most of the users do not like it because they have to waste time meaninglessly to pay for their sins . However, this is not a normal vige or city, but a city of different races called dwarves. That''s why Azreal tried to protest, trembling in fear that he might be bound here indefinitely without a promise. However, one of the dwarves who was untying the that captured him said with shining eyes. uh? Hey Kane. Why is there anything special? This human... take a good look. no....? This?! Those who suddenly left the unwrapped and gathered together and began to talk with each other with serious expressions. I couldn''t hear what it was, but one of them, who seemed to be having a disagreement, one of the dwarves called Kane approached with a slightly apologetic face and soon released the. [Status abnormality has been lifted.] Azreal''s control has been released and his movement is free. When you are confused by the favorable attitude of those who suddenly changed. One of the dwarves cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed. Kheuheum... Im sorry about this. The emergency fell so suddenly that I didn''t know it was of our lineage or something. yes....? Dwarves talking about lineage out of nowhere and talking about unknown things. At their words, Azreal asked with a face that couldn''t hide her embarrassment, but she couldn''t protest. Im sorry. Mixed-race dwarves wandering around in search of their hometown are always wee. let''s go inside I''ll repay you for your disrespect with my cold beer. [You have satisfied the entry conditions for the city of Dwarves, Sand of Forge.] [You can freelye and go from now on.] ...? Azreal obtained the right to enter the city without doing anything. But for fear of being thrown into the dungeon again, he did not dare to ask about their sudden change of attitude. Hey, Kane is attacking me today. Let''s die and drink! Ha ha ha ha. I got this. The dwarves descended underground with loud giggles. Cain, who followed them behind them with a warm smile, turned around and looked at Azreal, who was sitting there nkly, and said, What are you doing, why dont you hurry up and follow me? iced coffee! yes! Azreal ended up in Sand of Forge, the hidden city of the dwarves. And he couldn''t help but be furious when he realized what the condition of the position he had met not long after. [How could I have permission to enter the dwarf city? this fuck. These damn dwarves are always wee as short humans of their own blood mixed with dwarves. Fuck, is 162cm tall enough to be treated as a kinsman by dwarves? yes? fuck! Am I really that small to be treated like hobbits? Fuck!!!!!] A desperate sense of self-doubt experienced in the game. Azreal, a short man, got drunk on blowing a bottle for the first time and vomited out the resentment he had umted over the course of his life in the video. * * * Dwarves and elves. after their location was exposed. Not long after, users who set foot in the city of elves and dwarves began to appear one by one, and a great controversy began to arise. - What the fuck. The elves tell you to get rid of the ugly guy right now? You''re innocent even if you kill this, right? -lol. Are you ugly? Then you are a dwarf! -Really. Ugly and short children are liked by dwarves. - Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. Take a look at the novel setting where the area where you can enter is different depending on your appearance. -I told you to get out of the dwarves if you don''t want to die? Ha... I came here with a lot of hard work... -You bastard deceiver. are you tall Do you really want to die? -John Zaler, who is 185cm tall, goes to y with the elves. ^^ -No fuck, isn''t this really too much? What kind of likeability depends on looks and height? Elves obsessed with looks and dwarves obsessed with height. Because of the sharply divided admission conditions, this has be something like a verification among users. - Big. You got permission to enter the vige of the elves, right? Is it well-certified? -What are elves doing in a vige where pretty things are everything? There are many good equipment in Dwarf Vige. - Wow..... I really envy you. Is that a hobbit privilege? -What is this chewy? say it again Users who boasted of their good looks recognized by the elves and users who fluttered while receiving the stickyradeship from the dwarves. These two forces waged a fierce war of nerves in the Arfandiamunity every day. -If there are bastards teasing you for being short in the future, I''m going to burn down the elves'' vige. -lol. Come see if you can. Tall hyung will y with you~ - Hey, XXXXX to this XXXX and XXXXXX to XXXX! Users who are always being beaten one-sidedly on the Inte and are loved by the dwarves who only umte scratches on their self-esteem. It was only natural that their anger and resentment would spill over to the operator, the culprit behind it all. Yes.... Customer, what about the setting for humans that dwarves and elves are attracted to ? Even though I''m short, I''ve lived proudly without being aware of it until now. How do you make me feel embarrassed in this way in a game? As a human being, do you still fall asleep at night?] Oh no... Why are you crying all of a sudden? Please don''t cry and calm down..... [You fucking bastards! Is being short a sin? Are you making the game realistic so all the really short guys are treated like dwarfs? Damn, do I have to y this game because I''m dirty?] I''m sorry if you felt ufortable while ying..... We will do our best to review the issue a little more and take action. [Hey, guys, are you going to do itter?] ..... Theints of spicy taste flooded in like hardcore. And the day of the crisis management and response team of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which endured it, was peaceful today. Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Dwarves vs. Elves (2) The big reveal of elves and dwarves. Users who seeded in entering the two viges in this unexpected situation where the will of the gamepany did not enter at all soon began to release their discoveries as videos faster than anyone else. - Even beginners can do it! How to get to the Dwarf Vige in the shortest distance without dying! - Dwarf workshop experience. An item with fraudulent performance. Initial release of sales price. - Obtained a hidden quest rted to the World Tree. Announcement of participant recruitment. -Reveal of how to change your job to a spirit magic elementalist! Quality items created by the Dwarves and spirit magic unique to the Elves. And as soon as the method of transferring to a unique job that could only be obtained through them was gradually revealed, people were enthusiastic. -Oh, I also want to be a spirit sergeant. It''s been a romance since I was really young..... -How cute are the spirits..... I really like the people who take the spirits with them. -I changed my job as a jeweler to a crazy dwarf. Is this good? It is possible to put jewels on equipment. -Procurement of dwarf equipment. 10% fee. We bring you the lowest price. Please refer to the catalog for details. Two camps with limited ess. That''s why it has driven a topic here and there to the extent that there are people who are going to make money through it. A situation where you get a special job that other users don''t have, or make a lot of money through rare items, and unconditionally benefit. That''s why people, you and I, headed to the viges of elves and dwarves, and naturally, dissatisfaction with the gamepany grew. - Oh shit. I arrived at the elves'' vige, but they told me that I was ugly. Ha..... I said my mom was handsome. Mr. Hyunta ising. -lol. If you''re going to ask, ask a friend. Do you ask your mother about that? -no;; What exactly are the terms of entry? People who are uglier than me are good at entering. -That''s something you''ll know if you look closely in the mirror again. -Aren''t the operators crazy? Why the hell would you put such a shitty setting in there? The dissatisfaction of users began to bubble up here and there. However, as information began to be actively released due to them, the winds of change began to blow throughout the continent of Arcadia. Did you guys hear that rumor? They say that the forest and the city of the dwarf n have been discovered, which were only talked about in legends. It looks like some adventurers have already been there... I remember talking about it being full of mysterious and rare items. Oh you mean that? Isn''t that obvious? How expensive are the dwarves'' masterpieces! They say that the royal family is also very interested in sending an investigation team. All of a sudden, the ces where they are located are ces called the ownerless ban? It will be noisy for a while. Several empires and dozens of minor kingdoms divide the continent of Arcadia. However, since the areas where elves and dwarves settled were Shurim and Amil, the five forbidden areas that humans did not dare to enter, no country could im ownership or possession of them. Send an envoy immediately. If possible, try to establish friendly rtions and establish tradeworks on a regr basis. Elfs! If it''s their own spirit magic, it will be a great inspiration for magic training! We must interact with them faster than other kingdoms! Move quickly! The envoys from each kingdom and empire quickly set out with gifts to give them. The emergence of these two races was heating up the continent, but no one knew about them. How strict were the elves and dwarves, each with respect to humans? * * * [Next news. Recently, it has been revealed that Arcadia Co., Ltd., which provides virtual reality game services, has created a setting that discriminates users based on their appearance and height, causing great controversy. The gamepany does not disclose its exact position, but as more and more users are offended by the fact that they have created such insulting and demeaning content, the situation will not subside soon... ] . Jaeyoung, who watched it while eating, murmured with an absurd face. Wow... Really, that gamepany is no joke. To keep such a temperamental setting and leave it alone. It''s nothing else, but a setting that discriminates against users based on their height and appearance. Watching them do things they wouldn''t dare to do unless they were a crazy gamepany, Jaeyoung started to wonder if the developers had been shot in the head. [In this era, do you discriminate based on your appearance and height? yes? It is also a vicious act beyond hical for argepany to promote such an atmosphere beyond deceiving consumers. This should be thoroughly investigated and condemned.] [Let''s stop the malicious behavior of gamepanies that destroy self-esteem even in virtual reality! everyone! Everyone please join the boycott! Let''s carry out our will through capsule refund and refusal to use it!] Politicians and various civic groups have actually taken a bite of this hot topic and started to take action. Jaeyoung clicked his tongue in regret at the thought of the gamepany being bitten by their aggro. Tsk... Anyway, it''s fun, but sometimes it looks like a game made with drugs..... Jae- young ys as a hidden ss called Wandering Song in a troubled world. His candid feelings about the game are that thepany itself seems a little crazy. The game is good, but the situation directly shows what it means to be ruined if the management goes bankrupt. Even if it was just made with a certain general setting, it would have been able to gain explosive poprity from users amidst huge poprity and topics. But sometimes... No, because of the strange entricities he often shows, he was buying and eating curses that he didn''t have to get. -ident in Arcadia. With these items, various entricities were proudly stuffed on the Inte, and it hadn''t been half a year since it was opened, but the items were filled with all sorts of incidents. - No matter how much I think about it, I don''t understand how you destroyed a beginner vige with slime. - I thought it was more fun to treat the users as ves than that hahahahahaha. Do you know that the users who suffered at that time are still pickaxing in the mine? -;; What are those guys still doing without closing the game? Anyway, they said that escaping was easy... -Witch hunting was more of a legend. A crazy gamepany that divides real users into two sides and makes them go to war. It''s clear that they are drug addicts to the very core. -Jukchang is better than that . Woooooooooo!!!! Jae-young read the incidents written on the Inte carefully. His expression was strangely distorted as he reviewed the records of the ident for a long time. Wait... this is perfect... he said. Incidents and idents in Arcadia left in detail on the Inte. Even now, 90% of the densely written contents were directly or very closely rted to Jaeyoung. In a way, Jae-young is the main culprit who is making Arcadia confused. He muttered as he carefully read thements filled withints from users. I want to see the face of a real developer. What the hell are you thinking? [Please do your best in the future. Like I''m doing right now.] A young, questionable voice that seemed to be asking him to hear during the job change process. Jae-young, who was presumed to be the developer, brought all sorts of confusion to the game as he wanted and ns to do so again. What do you know? I am also trying to make a living. As always, Jae-young ys for himself. Today, he just made the best choice in his position and moved forward. * * * [Mission cleared.] [The World Tree wakes up and begins to contemte the entire continent.] [Channeling with the spirit world has been restored. The appearance of spirits and the generation of spirit power are strengthened.] [Agreement to promote friendship between elves and dwarves has been sessfully concluded.] [ The entire continent is shaken by the appearance of a different race that disappeared hundreds of years ago.] [yer Compensation calction for the influence of begins...] [Probability 623123 acquired.] [Item World Tree fruit obtained] Notification sounds thate to mind as soon as you ess the game. And when he confirmed that the huge amount of probability had been settled and entered, Jaeyoung smiled proudly. -Probability: 718391. The result of forcibly reconciling the two races that were gnashing their teeth together and reviving the sleeping World Tree. Seeing the enormous amount of probability returned, Jaeyoung opened his inventory and identified a fruit that glowed golden. [The Fruit of the World Tree - Myth] The fruit of the World Tree is said to open only once in a thousand years. It has a great vitality condensed, so it can be used in various ces. However, since it is disposable, you need to choose carefully. -Eating it permanently increases health by 100% and recovery by 1000%. -Material item for Philosopher''s Stone. Wow...that''s no joke. A consumption item and material item of a mythic level. Jaeyoung never imagined that he would see a mythical grade item in the consumption list, but after seeing the characteristics of this item, he thought it was worth it. -Permanently increases health by 100% and health recovery by 1000%. It''s an item that makes warriors, who mainly tank, look like they''re going to roll their eyes and drool. It''s not just a fixed number, it''s an item that doubles the existing vitality, so the higher the level and the more you grow, the more explosively the efficiency increases. . I don''t know what the Philosopher''s Stone is, but it''s definitely an important item... In addition, the exnation was that it was a material item needed to make a Philosopher''s Stone. I didn''t know the exact information, but I had a rough guess because Jaeyoung had a history of ying various fantasy games before. Well...ter, when an alchemist or a ss like this appears, you''ll find out... First of all, it was too much of a waste for Jaeyoung to use it right away. So he put the fruit of the World Tree back in his inventory, thinking that it would be useful someday. More than that... Where did all these Tan and El kids go? Tan and L appear from somewhere as if they had waited for them when they usually log on to the game. However, Jaeyoung, who was standing in the middle of the elves'' vige, tilted her head at the sight of the two beings whose whereabouts were unknown even after waiting for a long time. And I could hear a strange sounding from far away. Leave this! Let go! Catch it now! How dare you sneak into the sacred realm of the World Tree! The elves, holding bows and arrows in a hideous atmosphere, moved quickly to and fro and subdued a user wearing a hood. As they caught him and tied him up with vines, he cried out as if he was unfair. why me! As long as I''m good enough, I''m stillpliant! Why can''t I go in! Shut up! ugly human! How dare you be shameless with such a hideous face! Aaaaaaaa! no! A user who is being dragged somewhere, screaming at the brutal truth bombardment of the elves that he is ugly. And Jae-young, who watched the scene in bewilderment, found it. The angels and demons sat on a tree and watched with interest as the elves rounded up the ugly yers one by one. Who is he? Um...but it''s ugly when you look at it objectively. 4 points? Isnt it two points from what I see? You look so ugly. When I look at it, I think the real evaluation of you chicken wings is too salty. But what are the two points conscientiously? Isnt it because all of you bats are grotesque and ugly? ..... While Jaeyoung is away, an angel and a devil are watching with interest the ugly humans who are being hunted down by the elves, and exchangingpliments on their appearance. At this moment, the two seem to be closer than ever that Jaeyoung has seen so far. was Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Dwarves vs. Elves (3) The other day, without questioning or questioning, the bullets went head-to-head and grinded. But this time, while Jaeyoung closed the connection, he was making a puzzled expression, as if he had calmed down to some extent, but he didn''t go crazy with excitement any more than this. Well... because there is nothing I can do more than this. I''ll have to bring it to the Pandemonium and see if there''s any way to restore it... Michael, who is literally in conflict, and Deathbringer, who has lost his power due to being soaked in the power of the end of eternity. It was questionable whether the sword, which had been shattered by El''s determination and smashing it properly, would be able to regain its former strength, but seeing Tan carefully aligning the pieces one by one in the air with a gloomy face was so pitiful that Jae-young I couldn''t get the question out of my mouth. By the way... Tan, do you know anything about Dragon Heart? Dragon Heart? Why is the heart of the lizards all of a sudden? Why are you looking for that all of a sudden? At Jaeyoung''s question, Tan and L looked at Jaeyoung with puzzled yet curious expressions and asked. No... I said that I needed the World Tree, so I asked for it if possible. If there is something kept in the heavens or the demon world, I''m trying to get one... A situation where the enormous probability of 600,000 has just been settled. That''s why Jaeyoung asked with anticipation that he might be able to get something rare from the two of them as easily as if it had a 4-dimensional pocket, in exchange for probability. However, the reaction of these two was more negative than expected. The owner of Heng doesnt know the world well yet. Do you know that the hearts of those kinky lizards are so easy to get? Hmm... that sounds like a difficult one. It is something that is hard to find even for us. Dragon. They are the strongest in the world of Arcadia and are called the adjusters of bnce. Tan and El began to exin why a dragon''s heart is rare and valuable. The dragon''s heart is an organ that can generate magical power by itself. The efficiency of generating magic is amazing, but what''s even more absurd is that there is no limit to storing and umting magic. Unlike humans, elves, and other races that use magic, there is a limit to the amount of magic that can be umted in the heart. Unlike the human, elves, and other races that use magical power, they are a fraudulent race that umtes infinite magical power from birth for a long time. That''s why the myth that one''s power grows stronger with age is not wrong. that''s right. In addition, when dragons know that their lifespan is over, they return the mana stored in their hearts back to nature upon death. In other words, the heart of a dragon that has met a normal death is scattered back to nature, and even if you want to save it, you can''t find it. Dragons who practice the truth of Gongsurae Gongsugeo by returning all the magical power umted over 10,000 years to nature. Because of that characteristic, Tan and El also shook their heads, saying that there was no such thing. So what if you want to get a dragon heart... Thats right. We have to go directly into that lizard''sir, take its head and rip out its heart. ..... A quest where you have to kill the dragon yourself and save the heart. That''s why Jaeyoung''s face couldn''t help but be stained with absurdity. I''ll tell you in advance, but even if it''s you, it wouldn''t be too much to call in a decent number of spirit gods to catch the dragon, right? that''s right. No matter how much I was born, even if I was a newly born hatchling, even if at least a high-ranking angel did my best, I couldn''t be sure of victory... Single-handed dragon hunting. Tan and L said in unison that it was absolutely impossible even for Jaeyoung. Then, if we talk hypothetically... is it possible to catch an old dragon? what....? Elder Dragon...? Are you saying that sanely? Tan looks at Jaeyoung with a curious look. He thought for a moment, then suddenly put on his sses and muttered something scribbled on a gloomy piece of paper. Wait a minute, I''ll give you an estimate..... If it''s an old dragon level, it''s an old lizard that''s at least 8000 years old. Let''s say I''m going into the spirit world myself... I''ll have to bring a new prayer there, so I''m sure there are no other lizards or hinders. Assuming that we can win with the minimum battle time... Tan grunted and scrawled something for a long time as if he had too many things to think about. And he said in a bright voice, as if he hade up with a result. It seems to be possible. As long as there is a probability of at least 123,114,444. what....? A bullet that demands a probability in billions. Jaeyoung red at him with an absurd look, wondering if he was serious about what he was saying. Then he protested with an unfair face. What are you looking at with those eyes? Are you saying that you know how huge the ripple effect killing dragons is on the entire continent of Arcadia? That''s a lord'' ss like an old dragon! A gigantic Arcadia that could amodate the entire world of humanity. In other words, in this virtual world, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is another Earth, there are only a few dozen dragons at most. That''s why Tan''s words weren''t so absurd. that''s right. Even if I go out myself... I think I''ll need a probability of at least 150 million or more? Of course, there''s no way that we in the heaven world would participate in killing the dragon... That''s why Arcadia''s strongest being can''t help even the heads of the heaven and demon realms. Once again, I could feel how crazy the quest was to ask the world tree to bring their hearts. Well... it''s not urgent right now, so you can think about itter. If it was impossible to solve the problem on his own, Jaeyoung decided to take some time to spare, since there is also a way for many users to join forces to y Daguri when the users go beyond stagnant water and be rotten water. After all, there was nothing good about the merging of the scattered continents right now. Master, where are you going now? Jae-young put aside her worries about Dragon Heart and got up from her seat. As he tried to move again, Tan asked with curious eyes. For now, I want to go back to the vige near Shurim. Shrim? Dwarf realm? Why are you there all of a sudden? Jae-young decides to go back to the ce where she stayed a while ago. At that, Tan looked at him with a puzzled look, but Jaeyoung said with a face full of annoyance. I have a friend I''m going to meet. Jae-young''s college ssmate and closest friend, Jae-gyun. Ever since he found out that Jaeyoung was ying Arcadia, he had been persistently putting in his passion and effort to be with him in the game. lol. Jaeyoung, where are you ying right now? Jaeyoung, are you busy? Did you finish all the quests that said you would wake up then? Jaeyoung! I ate a rare item this time, but I don''t use it, so I''ll give it to you if you need it! Jaeyoung.... Can we hunt together just once? huh? Please... Jaekyun, who really wants to y together to the point of being annoying. I don''t know if it''s because of Dex''s prestige, which is a legend itself, or because he doesn''t have a friend to y with, but Jae-young, who surrendered to Jae-gyun, who asked him persistently to the point of being annoying, made an appointment with him for the first time. Oh, I see. I get it, so please stop asking. really? really? promised? Can''t we fight? Jae-gyun was overjoyed and cheered at the word that he would meet him in Arcadia. I couldn''t understand why he liked him so much, but Jaeyoung made an appointment to meet him in a nearby vige in the great desert Shurim. You haven''t been to the Dwarf Vige yet, have you? I''ll go there with you, so stop staring at me. huh! okay. By the way... to go to the dwarf vige? uh. why? Is there something wrong? No, that''s... I was going to see the elves. The elves...? huh! I heard that elves are very pretty, so I really wanted to go see them. What the hell is he imagining? Jaekyun is smiling strangely. Jaeyoung, who looked at him slightly pathetically, looked him up and down with serious eyes and said. I''m sorry... but if you go there, you won''t be able to step in and you''ll be kicked out? uh? why....? It is not yet known what the requirements for entering the viges of elves and dwarves are. Therefore, Jaekyun would have imagined entering the vige of elves with false hopes, but when Jaeyoung, as Jaekyun''s friend, saw it objectively, he fell far short of meeting the elves'' strict standards. Listen to me on this. You are unconditionally a dwarf. huh....? why....? There is such a thing. Don''t try to know too much, just meet in a vige near Shurim. Jae-young decides to meet Jae-gyun near Shurim. As they prepared to move to meet him, Tan and L looked genuinely surprised and asked. Eh? Did the owner ever have a friend? really? Were you in a close rtionship with another human being? ...I am not a social misfit who has had a breakdown in rtionships. Of course I have friends. At that, Tan nodded in amazement and said, Hehe.... I don''t know if real humans know it. To think that there is a species of the same species that maintains a close rtionship with a human like its owner. ...No, that''s why it''s amazing. Master, you really dont know that, so you ask? I''m not really kidding about the people who have been fucked because of their owners until now, but I think you can easily build a mountain? ..... Honestly, I thought the owner would always wear a mask and hide his identity because he was afraid he would be caught and killed by humans. At that, Jaejoong didn''t say anything. He would do that, because he knew very well that not one or two users would be angry if the actions he hadmitted so far were revealed to be his own. Dont talk nonsense... lets start. Ah, if I go there, can I see that child again then? huh? who? That... the child who inherits Vulcan''s will. Ah, lunch.... No, am I talking about a ttongson? yes. I wonder what you are doing now. L''s curious expression. L had a face that looked very curious about the growth of the child he had excavated himself. A synonym for grit and hard work. Joong-sik Lee, a middle school boy who worked as a ve in the Pagon Mine, was digging for iron ore, thinking only of the day he would be released. Jae-young was also curious about his growth, which showed tremendous potential to raise his mining skill to the 2nd rank, which is close to the master, beyond the 5th rank, which is called the realm of enlightenment and the stage of atrocities. That''s why Jaeyoung nodded indifferently to L''s request. Okay, lets go and have a look at the situation. I''m curious too. Jaeyoung left the vige of the elves and started walking again. Toward Shurim, the vast desert of super-steamy sand. Quaaaaaa! help me! Stop! Ugly human! Sylph! Track down the ugly people sneaking in! Aaaaaaa! What''s wrong with my face! A ce that could be called the boundary and entrance of the elves'' vige. There, dozens of elven patrols were busy chasing spirits, arresting and kicking out humans who did not meet the standard, but Jaeyoung''s steps leaving the vige were more leisurely than anyone else''s. Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Back to the Desert (1) Shurim Returns Again. It''s been less than a month since Jaeyoung left this desert, but in the meantime, the ce has changed beyond recognition. The camel caravan that will go to the Dwarf Vige is leaving now. I sell ice rake crystals. It''s straight from heatstroke. The shortest time guide to Dwarf Vige is leaving now. A Crisis Sensing Rank 9 Explorer. Don''t be afraid of the attack of the scorpions and go over itfortably! Take a look at the dwarf-made equipment. Cheap! cheap. A small, secluded vige located near Shurim. However, the ce was filled with people and NPCs who had flocked here and there. Wow... is that vige right then? A huge crowd that seemed to have easily exceeded the capacity of the town. And the entrance of Shurim, a super-heated sand desert, was forming a street corner due to the merchants and usersing and going here and there. be careful. Scorpions here are no joke. Instead of trying to fight as much as possible, you have to slow it down with freezing magic and run away. If you get stung by a poisonous needle, there is no answer. Even if you have an antidote, prepare well and go. Drinking water? I have to stock up on them in the inventory window. A desert full of powerful and gigantic scorpions, with no oases and hiding in the sand in the scorching heat. In the past, it was and of death where it was impossible to guarantee the safe return of those who set foot in this dangerous desert, but the intense pioneering spirit of the people triggered by Jaeyoung poured out all kinds of strategy and destruction methods for this desert of death and overcame it. have done it Well... it''ll be easier than then. A situation where a lot of coping methods and strategies for dangerous situations have been revealed by people. That''s why Jaeyoung smiled in relief at the fact that, likest time, he didn''t have to use Probability as a strong god, but he could pay a small fee and go with a group of guinea pigs to the Dwarf Vige. Sheesh... It''s a waste. Hmm... thats unfortunate. The angel and the devil are licking their lips with expressions of regret at Jaeyoung''s momentum, which doesn''t seem like he''s going to use his strength. Jaeyoung red at these two clumps of desire, who were eager to rip off the probabilities whenever they had the chance. By the way, the owner... the friend I''m supposed to meet now. As soon as Jae-young red at him, Tan changed the topic. He asked like he was really curious. What kind of guy are you? hmm? What kind of guy are you? Um... so what is it, a unique human being like the owner? Do you have a probability or...? Tan''s face is full of anticipation. At a nce, he was wearing a sinister smile, simr to Jaeyoung''s, as if he would insert a straw and suck it right away if he had the probability. ...You really have gone crazy with probability. ah! what! Do you also try the demon king? Do you know how much money is going out these days? Just trying to restore the now-destroyed Deathbringer will break it, how many chances are there? Tan''s obsession with probability intensified after the Deathbringer was destroyed. At Jaeyoung''s words, Tan seemed to have umted a lot in the meantime, and he murmured for a long time, pouring outmentation and sadness. Unfortunately, however, Jae-gyun was not a special person with a job that could build probabilities like Jae-young. Jaegyun? Are you Jaekyun? A user with a chubby appearance standing in the ce where we promised to meet and looking around with a nervous face. Even at a nce, the real'' aura that Jaekyun felt was overflowing, so Jaeyoung approached with confidence and asked. who....? Jae-gyun seemed embarrassed when he called his real name. But then he opened his eyes wide and shouted. Dedex?! Jaeyoung! You really came! Shh. It''s too loud. Jae-kyun shouts too loudly with an expression of sincere joy. Jaeyoung was shocked by his reaction and spoke urgently. Soon, Jaekyun realized that there were too many people around him and kept his mouth shut. Im sorry. I was so surprised that I stopped noticing... If possible, don''t call me by that name... um... wait a minute..... There are too many eyes around you, so it''s impossible to move around freely. So Jaeyoung took out the deceiver''s mask from his inventory and put it on. [Equipped with the mythical item Deceiver''s Mask.] [The power of deceit and camouge covers the yer''s body.] [The false beingpletely covers the original identity.] Slowly. When you put the mask on your face, it naturally melts and sticks to you. Checking the status window for a moment, confirming the disguised identity, looked at Jae-gyun and said. From now on, call me Kaiser, Kaiser. What! Jae-young, who changed her appearance in an instant in front of her eyes. Jaekyun shouted with a shocked face. What did you just do? Is it a disguise skill? No... I can''t change the disguise or camouge to such a perfect degree...? Jae-kyun carefully examines Jae-young''s face with both hands. Jaeyoung frowned at his hand pulling his cheek back and forth and removed his hand. Its an item effect. More than that... Touch it somewhere. The touch of a fellow male is not eptable. Wow... thats really amazing. Jaekyun continues to look closely at him with a disbelief face, as if it is strange that such an item exists. The rest of his gaze was burdensome, and Jaeyoung hurriedly changed the topic. Anyway... Shall we leave right now? It will take quite a while to get to the Dwarven Vige. huh! OK. I figured out a way to get to the Dwarf Vige while waiting for you toe. okay? How are you going? Jae-young asks with a look of surprise at Jae-gyun''s words that he knew the method in advance. However, his answer soon turned into a confused face. There''s a GM Merchant'' among the guilds going to the Dwarf Vige, right? I think we can follow along on the way to the top there. They left just in time for us. So, I applied for two people. Look at this! I also canceled the ticket. Jaekyun proudly speaks while holding two tickets. However, Jaeyoung did not show it on the outside, but inside he let out a sigh. Haa..... Even if you choose the top, it''s true.....'' GM top. A bad rtionship formed in the estate of the Duke of Bergen. The parties were unaware of it, but he knew better than anyone else the hardships they had suffered because of him, so it was one of the organizations that Jae-young did not want to be involved with in the game. Unlike the others, they have a powerful influence in real life...'' The Holy Empire and various nobles and kingdoms are just illusions that exist only in virtual reality, but unlike them, the GM Group exists in the real world where Jae-young lives. It''s not as good as before, but it was a group with money and power that anyone living in Korea couldn''t dare to ignore, so he needed to be a little careful about his actions. what''s the matter....? Any problem? A situation where you have already paid a high price and even saved a ticket. Nevertheless, looking at Jaeyoung, who was making a confused expression, Jaekyun was restless and didn''t know what to do. Hmm... is that the only corps that departs the fastest? huh? no that''s not it There was one more but... I did? Because it was so small in scale, I didnt trust it much... The scorpions were too powerful for one or two users to deal with. The best thing to do was to take a detour by avoiding the ce where they are hiding, or make it as slow as possible with freezing magic and run away, so if you make a mistake, your life is dangerous in the desert. So, Jaekyun was the one who picked the most reliable giant, but not Jaeyoung. If anything, I just have to push it away with my strong body.....'' Even if the worst situationes, it''s just a case of probabilities or ripped off, so there''s no need to worry about death, so Jae-young decided to avoid an ufortable situation and said. Then lets get on top of that and go. I dont want to get involved with GM because Im a bit close. Is that so? But... I can''t refund this..... Jaekyun muttered with a puzzled face at Jaeyoung''s words. Seeing Jae-kyun''s hesitant attitude about whether it cost a lot, Jae-young said casually. How are you? I''ll ask you that. huh? oh no It doesn''t matter! It''s really okay. Jae-kyun waves his hand in a violent reaction to Jae-young''s request to ask. However, Jaeyoung said firmly. I am changing it because I want it, but of course I have to ask for the sign price. How much is it. That''s 1 gold per person ..... One way per person at the current market price of 100,000 won or so is an enormous amount. However, the amount of gold that Jaeyoung possessed was too much to ignore, so it was not a burdensome amount. jiggle. Two shiny gold coins from your inventory. He handed it to Jaegyun and said. Youre also a college student, so your pocketbook isnt very good, so dont worry about things like this. You have to be bold and ask for what you deserve. As usual, Jae-gyun is not able to say anything unpleasant to Jae-young and is worried that he may have offended Jae-young. When Jaeyoung gave him sincere advice, Jaekyun looked moved. Jaeyoung..... Jaekyun looks like he might shed tears if he stimtes him a little more. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said with more serious eyes than ever before. Because its Kaiser. Oh right. I''m sorry. In any case, Jae-kyun shows off his sloppiness in every clumsy action. Seeing him like that, Tan and L said a word with really disappointed faces. What is the owner? Who is that lowly human? You are a very depressed person. It looks like it needs a lot of care andfort. Compared to Jaeyoung, Jaegyun is nothing more than a human being who falls far short of normalcy. Looking at him like that, Tan and L expressed regret that they couldn''t carry out the n they had imagined so far. If youre a decent human being, I thought Id attach a demon to it and corrupt it and use it. That''s too bad. I wondered if they had found someone who could realize Heaven''s will on the continent. These two are full of thoughts of trying to use them somehow. Jaeyoung looked at the two with a pitiful look without saying anything, and then started to move along with Jaegyun. Here! Wait... How long did it take? Jae-kyun stopped at a warehouse-like ce full of camels and carts, told Jae-young to wait a moment, and then ran to a corner and talked to someone. Then he returned to Jaeyoung and said with a bright face. He was just about to leave. They say you can participate by paying 20 silver per person! okay. Then let''s go there. Much cheaper than GM''s top end. Of course, at a nce, it was a small guild that showed an overwhelming gap, but it seemed that the minimum assortment was matched, so Jaeyoung nodded without worrying. ha ha ha. Nice to meet you. I am Apple at the top of the top of the pie. Im the injured drinker, Lemon. The upper part and the floating part that seem to have loosened at least one screw. Seeing the nicknames of the two men and women as if they were matched intentionally, Jaeyoung made a strange expression and held out his hand. My name is Kaiser. Thank you for using our top. I was struggling to find people to apany me because the scale was so small. Although they are preparing for the minimum, the more users who can support them in case of an encounter with a scorpion or an unexpected situation, the better, so the two responded favorably to the newpanion. We have plenty of drinking water and food, so please let us know if you get any abnormal conditions or your physical strength is exhausted. We have prepared everything, so you should be able to arrive within three days without too much trouble. is it so. I have one more question. yes. Please speak. You two... do you know each other? The nickname fits so exquisitely. Oh, just the two of us? The two are looking into each other''s eyes and smiling. Apple put an arm around Lemon''s shoulder and said in a yful voice. We are newlyweds who have just been married. Oh, I see. Somehow, the nickname was so unique that I did something. Somehow, Sang Sangju and Sangju Danju seemed too friendly. When Jaeyoung nodded as if she understood the story of the couple. Jaekyun murmured with his eyes widened as if they were going to pop out. Wow... Im envious. Couple gamers... The two couples are enjoying a virtual reality game together in a sweet way. Looking at it with envy, Jae-young heard Jae-gyun muttering something and shuddered with an inexplicable chill. Can I be with Chaeyeonter like that? ..... It was Jae-kyun''s unrequited love that seemed to be twisting in a strange direction as time passed. Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Back to the Desert (2) Newlyweds Apple and Lemon. The small-scale pie guild made by these two had too many shorings for its small scale. Quaang. Evee Ee! That scorpion! Damn it again? Prepare the freezing magic! Get out of here at full speed! A huge desert where you have to avoid the ce where the scorpions are hiding as much as possible with the crisis detection skill of exploration or adventure-type jobs. However, it was already the 3rd time that I had encountered scorpions that I hadn''t been able to find because of the low rank of rted skills. It was a big deal. The magical power to use freezing magic hasn''t been recovered yet. what....? As a result, the magician had to continue using freezing magic without a chance to recover his magical power. He waved his hand with a white face, perhaps already exhausted. A bunch of radishes! If I use more magic than this, I will die. Shit....! Run right now! Kyaaaaaaagh! Apple''s expression of bewilderment is evident. At his direction, dozens of camels started running at high speed, but the speed was infinitely insufficient to overtake the scorpions in the sandy desert with a cart full of heavy goods. Quaang. The cart is shattered when the ws of the giant scorpion strike. And those who were blown away with just one tail turned gray in an instant. Shit....! The scorpions are too fast to run away with their packs! Kyaaaaaaaa! Kwaaang. Quaang. The scorpions screamed as if they had found a delicious prey and began to smash the cart at the top of the pie by swinging their ws. A few people tried to fight back, but it didn''t take long for them to turn gray and copse. I can''t believe it..... Helplessly, the entire upper part is smashed. Looking helplessly at it, Apple''s face was stained with misery and regret. I mean, it wasnt a ce I dared to look at... Great desert Shurim, which had been designated as one of the 5 forbidden areas and long since people stopped visiting. However, after the information that the city of the dwarves was hidden was revealed, numerous attacks and destruction methods began to be released one by one. Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg Dangerous Apple! Apple watched with a nk face as his top was destroyed. The moment when a scorpion that found him was screaming and about to strike down the giant w. Suddenly, a great chill began to wrap around him. Quick cooling. so-and-so. ws that froze in an instant. As he opened his eyes wide at the pincers that had stopped frozen at the perfect timing above his head, a person leaped quickly and muttered. The encroaching cold. Kyaaaaaaaaagh! I just touched the exoskeleton lightly, but from that point on, the scorpion started to freeze cold at a furious speed. The scorpion let out a terrifying scream as if feeling great pain, but soon stopped moving in a state of pure white frost all over its body. Tsk... I didn''t expect much from this, but isn''t it too crude? Jaeyoung grumbles as if he doesn''t like the current situation. At his words, Apple murmured with his mouth wide open as if in shock. Are you all...? A young man who looks a bit young. He, who introduced himself as Kaiser, was crushing the scorpion that had be an ice statue with apletely different look from when he first met. First of all, the situation seems urgent, so I will help you, but I will charge you a separate feeter. Jaeyoung''s ck hair has turned white. Snowkes of frost and a cold storm swirled fiercely around her body, as if a cold wave was raging. Kiaaaaaaa! Queueeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The scorpions chewed and ate the camel to ughter, as if they were angry at the death of theirrades. They screamed and surrounded Jaeyoung and opened and closed their ws violently. Your level is ignorantly high, but you dont seem to have much intelligence than you think. In the midst of this situation where even running away would not be enough, I was thinking of hitting a crow. A huge desert scorpion, an incredibly powerful monster with each level reaching level 160. Right now, no user of Arcadia could guarantee victory in the battle against them alone, so he was in a hurry to escape rather than fight, but standing in front of Apple was different. Frost Spear. so-and-so. A huge spear suddenly froze in Jaeyoung''s hand along with the skill''s starter, revealing its appearance. Holding it in both hands, he muttered with a smile on his face as if he was having fun. Where can I try? The battle between the four desert scorpions and Jaeyoung started like that. A legend-like story that began with those who witnessed it and survived began to circte in a pub near Shurim. A cold-blooded warrior who seeks to save merchants in crisis walking through the desert. That''s the story of Jack Frost. * * * [Skill skill ended.] [Calction of the duration and yer''s actions begins.] [28352 probability consumed.] A tremendous amount of probability after killing 5 desert scorpions. However, in spite of Jaeyoung''s ring eyes, Tan spoke confidently to the point of being shameless. what! why! Do you know that the guy you summoned is such an easygoing guy? Even Absolute Zero was one of the absolute strongest yers in Iceberg. Isnt it overpriced to y with these scorpions? Witch of the Cold, Enchantress. It didn''t make sense considering that he had killed 5 of the 160 scorpions by himself, but it still felt expensive. Are you saying that the Deathbringer is broken? Arent you deliberately ripping off the probability in order to restore it? L looks at Tan suspiciously and asks if he had simr thoughts to Jaeyoung. At her words, Tan reacted more violently than ever. shut up! You fucking chicken. Im still pissed off, but do you want to keep talking about it? Hmm..... I guess you haven''t given up on restoration yet? Didnt you think you would have turned it into powder? What is this bastard? What did you just say? Tan, who seems to have hit the mark, suddenly elerates again and rushes towards L. L''s reckless charge was met with L, and a scuffle began as he swung his fists. Seeing this, Jaeyoung thought to herself. Wouldn''t it be fun to take a video of this and upload it...?'' A battle between angels and demons. It is not a lower level like a baby angel or an imp, but a fight between the devil and the archangel, which is a transcendent level that the level itself cannot dare to touch. However, the fight between the two was so childish that it was hard to keep my eyes open. evil! Dont bite these chicken wings! You''re the one who says you shouldn''t write foul y like gouging your eyes! There is no such thing as a foul y in a life and death risk! Anyway, you fucking bat. Once started, a melee thatsts for a long time. The fun of watching this silently was also excellent, but Jae-young had no choice but to look away from Apple, who was talking to him with surprised eyes. Did you say Kaiser...? thank you. If it wasn''t for Kaiser-sama, the entire guild would have been wiped out. Thank you so much..... Apple and lemon pale. Several employees around them were taking care of the damage, but it seemed obvious that they had suffered tremendous damage, as almost half of the carts and the items inside were destroyed and many were stained gray. Its a bit like saying this, but... I got this top assortment right, but my capabilities are far less than I thought. Explorers who had to detect the threat of scorpions and figure out detours, wizards specializing in freezing to hinder the movement of scorpions they encountered, and even the warriors who would give them a little time and draw aggro were below the level. Ah... that''s because we''re a small guild, so we had no choice but to rece all of them with NPCs... so we don''t have anything to say about that. sorry. Unlike ces like GM, which grow quickly based on the financial power ofrge corporations, pie tops are operated on a small scale with individual funds. Because of this, they had no choice but to be sensitive tobor costs, and most of the employees at the top of the affiliation were filled with cheap NPCs who possessed relevant skills but had low ranks and levels. We know that in order to grow our business, we need to hire users with high growth potential. However, due to theck of capital, it is still difficult to pay the basic minimum wage, so I tried to make the most of this uptrend... but now it seems difficult to do that too. As he was sighing in despair as he looked at beer barrels strewn about in the desert, smoked meats and other food ingredients that dwarves would like, and things that had been soaked in sand and were no longer usable, an employee came up to him and said, We have collected the remaining goods and personnel. 54% loss rate. 46% of items are fortunately normal. Still, a situation where we should be thankful that the upper ranks were notpletely annihted. Thinking that it should not copse here and now, Apple and Lemon reconciled their minds and said. You seem to have already lost your trust in our guild... but would you still go with us? Since we are almost there anyway, going back here would be impossible. Instead, we will repay you for the help you have just given, in an amount that will not be insufficient as soon as this trade ends. Jaeyoung, who has already been to a dwarf vige. He nodded at Apple''s offer, knowing full well that he would be in the Sands of Forge in less than three hours. I will. Thank you..... The uphill road started again like that. Since even one of the explorers who had been attacked by the scorpion had just died, they started crossing the desert carefully without letting go of their tension. And shortly thereafter, several herds of camels seen in the distance. Seeing it, people shouted with delighted faces. Look over there! GM top! arrived! look over there! It''s a doorway! The GM corps have already arrived and are waiting for Sand of Forge to enter. Everyone at the top of Apple, who was following behind them, shouted with joy. Live! Phew... I was wondering what if I met the scorpions again... I''m so d I did! A beggarly Apple Caravan leading wounded and half-destroyed carts. But still, relieved that we had reached our destination safely, we approached the back of GM''s upper ranks. Lets wait here for a moment. If the upper part in front of us passes, perhaps a dwarf wille to us and check the items closely and decide whether or not to pass. Top members busily settled down at Apple''s words and started setting up tents. But first, mockery mixed withughter began to be heard watching them from here and there at the top of the GM, where they had set up tents and were resting in a leisurely manner. Hey... Even the upper ranks with such a low level rush to make a deal with the dwarves. Quack. From the looks of it, it looks like you''ve been bitten by scorpions? Wow, do you see it over there? It seems like all the staff use NPCs? Anyway, look at the level of choosing cheap ones. As expected, you can see the level difference even in the game. Ugh, off the beaten track. Members of thepany who receive a sry from the top of GM and help them go up. Because they were users with excellent levels and skills, the pride and pride they felt was too high. Pya... how many yers are there? You must have gone through a lot of hardships at the top like that. If you use our corps, youre just sucking honey. Hehehe.... Seeing how they use the upper ranks like that, they must be beggars who waste even 1 gold. They use it for the cheap taste and end up getting screwed. Thats right. Isnt it that you y badly in games because you live like that? Hahahoho, the users belonging to the GM upper ranksughing and talking mockingly. But they werepletely unaware of it. There are angels and demons pping bat wings and chicken wings all around them, silently listening to their stories. I hear you say...the owner? He is an ignorantmb with all kinds of grumpiness on his face. Please give me stern advice. However, despite Tan and El''s tattle(?), Jaeyoung did not show anything. I was just sitting in silence and rxing. What are you thinking, Master? leave this alone? Are you strong enough not to kill them all? Tan, who seemed to want to create a mess somehow. It seemed that he was full of thoughts to rip off the probability with this, but Jaeyoung said with an evil smile at Tan''s question. wait. I''ll think about it. The heads of Apple and Lemon, who were sitting in their seats and looking at the top of the car busily, and Jaeyoung, who was looking over the top of the GM, started to work busily. It was a reflection on how to feed a huge and bulky candy into the mouth of GM''s top team. Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Back to the Desert (3) City of Dwarves. Sand of Forge. With the recent emergence of this underground city, there was a job that was highlighted, and that was merchants. [If you apany the merchant or join thepany, they will let you through regardless of your height or appearance. You either want to be treated favorably in Dahn, or you can''t. They only really let you pass.] Their position condition that they wouldn''t dare to challenge unless their body was as small as that of a dwarf. But there was one way to negate it, and that was to get admission with the vendors, who had packed a lot of booze and food. Uh... even though we''re human, we still brought a lot of our favorite liquor... Pass! Don''t make a fuss inside! A race of dwarves who love alcohol more than anyone else. Although it was a human race that I didn''t like enough to grind my teeth thinking about the past, it was true that their alcohol was delicious, so I was able to enter their city Sands of Forge, albeit on a limited basis. Wow... Jae no Kaiser! Did you see this? Looking at the huge city of dwarves built underground with both eyes wide open, Jaekyun shouted with excitement and asked, but it wasn''t such a strange sight for Jaeyoung, who had already been tired of seeing it. Wow..... I saw it on video, but seeing it in person is really no joke. I see... Honey, seeing that you came here, did you think you did well? yes? However, except for Jaeyoung, the people here are beginners. Apple and Lemon were also looking around with simr faces to Jaekyun and chatting. Anyway, I had a hard time getting here. We''re done here... Oh, wait a minute. As long as he reached the Sands of Forge, he had already achieved his goal, so he no longer needed to hang out with this corps. So, at this point, I was about to say goodbye and leave with Jae-kyun, but Apple caught the two of them with a look of bewilderment. I havent even been rewarded yet, so what if I just leave like this? A desperate situation in which all trade goods could be lost and annihted in the desert, which could have resulted in huge losses. Jae-young, who was going to leave without receiving anypensation for saving him from such a crisis, was stopped, but he was not very interested in theirpensation. Even if I did it, it would cost me a few pennies of gold.....'' It was clear that they would give me some gold anyway. However, Jaeyoung''s possessions were more than he thought. Possessed money: 11,452 gold 10,000 gold from the bamboo spear battle and about 1200 gold from Baron Mikhail. In addition, the PK and hunting and mining items alone reached 300 gold, so waiting at the top was almost a waste of time. We have a lot of work to do. We''ll talk aboutpensation when we meet againter. That''s like that... Jaeyoung and Jaekyun leave without saying when and where they will meet and how they will receivepensation. But Apple couldn''t hold on to either of them because it had a cart full of things it needed to sell right away. Then, I started running around and selling my feet to make my feet sweat. This is to make up for the losses incurred in this uptrend and to make the most of the profits. * * * Oh. Wee, our dear friend. Altair, the highest chieftain of the Sand Hammer Tribe, who leads the Dwarves, the head of the Sands of Forge, weed Jaeyoung with a wee face. Its been a while. Thats right. But you''re back sooner than I thought. Jae-young left as a special envoy with an agreement for peace in the vige of elves. However, after seeing him return in less than a month, Altair asked with a curious face. So... how did the story go? The text of the agreement sent at Jaeyoung''s rmendation. In fact, he didn''t expect good results, so he epted the scroll that Jaeyoung gave him and put on a shocked expression. The elves also decided to ept the peace agreement proposed by the dwarves. It was signed by Melissa, Queen of the Elves, so check it out. Is that for real? Altair opens the agreement with an urgent face. He carefully examined the contents of the agreement with his shaggy hands, and when he saw Melissa''s signature scribbled at the bottom, he muttered with a bewildered expression, as if in disbelief. Really, a day like this wille... I would never have thought that those smooth, self-respecting guys would sign a peace agreement like this. Ah, the agreement takes effect as soon as you ept it. So, from now on, we have to regrly send envoys for exchange and trade with the elves, and we have to actively cooperate with each other. Okay. I''ll notify the senate and make preparations right away. Altair nodded at Jaeyoung''s words. Jaeyoung added something to him that he couldn''t say. Oh, and I made some adjustments to the items the elves traded. It''s in the text of the agreement, so check it out. what....? this this? Is this for real? Altair confirmed what was written in the agreement with a shocked expression on his face. He stammered and shouted in disbelief. Not just the branches of the World Tree, but also the sap of the leaves, rhizomes... and even advanced spirit stones? An underground ore vein in the great desert Shurim where rare metals can be obtained. But even so, there was something the Dwarves regretted. It was the various by-products that could be obtained from the World Tree, where life force pulsated. Metal alone cannot contain the soul I seek. Haa... this isn''t enough. A little more rare and rare material... In order to fully capture the attributes of nature... you need a suitable spirit stone... There were so many Dwarves whomented and regretted seeing the imperfect condition of the children-like equipment that was born from their hands every time because there was no way to get the materials. Altair knew the value of this agreement very well because he understood better than anyone else the dwarves'' desire to create, who always wanted to create perfect works with the best materials and the best effort. From now on, try to be close to each other as much as possible. Since the elves also said that they will make an effort not to make derogatory remarks based on their height or appearance in the future, I also make sure that they do not make aggressive remarks with their dexterity or strange things. Thats right. Don''t do that. Altair nodded his head and looked at Jaeyoung with grateful eyes. He seemed to want to tell me the news quickly, so he left without saying a few words. First of all, I will discuss this matter with the elders first. let''s talk about itter You must have had a lot of trouble so far, so why dont you take a break while looking around the city. [Sessfully brokered a peace treaty between elves and dwarves.] [Legendary achievement. It has brought about peace between the two rival races.] [Negotiation skill has risen to rank 5.] [All beings will listen more closely to the yer''s story.] [Performance of objects produced by dwarves in the future. This greatly improves.] [The friendship level between the dwarves and elves greatly increases.] [Obtained the title Master of Negotiation''.] Altair left in a hurry. Jae-young, who was sitting in his office, looked at him with a proud expression as he checked the numerous messages that came to his eyes, and Jae-gyun looked at him in surprise and asked, Jae Jae-young, what did you just do? What is it? You brokered a peace treaty between the dwarves and the elves. what....? Jae-gyun is unable to keep his mouth shut when Jae-yeong tells him that he was already carrying out a hidden quest between the dwarf and the elf. However, Jae-young, who did not want to go through the hassle of exining everything to him, hit the head first to stop Jae-gyun from pouring out questions. I have someone to go see, so lets move too. There is someone to go see...? who? Jae-gyun tilts his head with a puzzled look at Jae-young''s words that he has someone to meet in this dwarf vige. Jaeyoung replied with a smile on his face. Do you have a friend who feels like seeing your old self? * * * Caang. Caang. There were two types of sounds that never ceased to resonate here and there in the city of Dwarves. One is the clear burst of hammers striking metal. And the second was the shouts of the tough Dwarves who were eager for young Dwarves who had just started to pick up a hammer as apprentices. Cant you hammer it straight? Do you think the iron would bend if you hit it like that? Cant even adjust the temperature properly? This damn dwarf is a baby! Can you still call yourself a great Dwarven n! Today we see the end. There is no food until I make a work I like. Dwarf artisans who pass on their skills in a hardcore and spicy way from beginning to end. Among the young dwarves, sweating profusely beneath them and intent on hammering, there was a whining human. Hey human! Did you make this a dagger just now? Isnt this the foundation? How many times have I taught you, and you still hammer like that! Anyway, I dont have any useful skills other than digging for minerals! Even for a human, it''s below expectations! Sorry! I will do it again! A middle school boy, Lee Joong-sik, has been working at the studio for a month now. While sweating profusely, he shouted with a stern face, apologized over and over again in front of the dwarves who craved him, and raised the hammer again. Eh.... If it wasnt for Altair-samas request, I would have kicked him out right away... The dwarf growled as if he didnt like his every move and went elsewhere. Jungshik was able to breathe a sigh of relief after the senior dwarf who had been bullying him left. Haa..... The red-hot iron. After staring at it for a while, Jung-shik took the hammer in one hand and started hitting it. Caang. Caang. Iron changing its shape with the clear sound of hammering. The Chinese food, which had been pounding for a long time, was quenched and heated several times to create a shape with sincerity. How much time has passed like that? When the blunt iron ingot passed through Jung-shik''s hands and was born into a dagger, a message appeared before his eyes. [Dagger for Beginners'' has been produced.] [wless manufacturing process. The production bonus is greatly increased.] [A work above the level. The grade of the item will increase.] [The Weapon Crafting'' skill will rise to A rank.] [The efficiency of weapon crafting will increase slightly.] While looking around the items he made, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He was startled. Oh you made that? Dex brother? Jae-young left the vige and left herself here. Jung-sik saw Jae-young smiling as if he was happy to see him, and rushed at him. Tongue! Maybe it was a pleasure to see the person, so I ran to him in a month and hugged him. Jaeyoung put on a burdened expression at the grown-up man''s hug, but he couldn''t bear to push him away as his face was filled with tears as if he was going to cry at any moment. You must have had a lot of trouble. Heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Joong-shik expresses his sorrow to Jae-young. As Jae-young listened to the dwarves'' contempt for all kinds of discrimination and hatred, he felt again that the personality of the different races in this game must have been ate to the bone. I am sure that the next race war will be fought between humans and other races. Chapter 119 Chapter 119 My Little Son (1) Joong-sik I left in the dwarf workshop. As soon as he met Jae-young, he started crying. So... you keepparing yourself to other dwarves and rolling them until you''re on the same level as them, right? Yes..... Whip... It''s so scary here... A brutal, wild workshop where you have topete with other young apprentice Dwarves. In this ce, Jung-sik, a human being, was an uncontroble sluggish child himself. So... the other dwarves have already passed dagger making and moved on to the next step, but you''re still in the same ce...? Yes... but I don''t know when I''ll be able to get over it. A hardcore curriculum that is too difficult for a Chinese who does not have the natural dexterity of a dwarf to digest. Hearing his self-deprecating gloomy words, Jae-young picked up the dagger Jung-sik had justpleted and checked its performance. [Beginner''s Dagger - Rare] A masterpiece crafted with great care by an impable skilled cksmith. It is a dagger that boasts excellent performance that beginners are afraid to give up. -Attack power: 80~100 -Durability: 500/500 -Shows the weakness of monsters of simr level. This....? A beginner''s dagger that was originally a normal level item. However, what Jungshik created was a rare item beyond magic. And an item with outstanding abilities that cannot even bepared with its original performance. Seeing this, Jaeyoung muttered as he looked at Jungshik with disbelief in his eyes. It''s a beginner''s item with no level limit, but this level of performance...? Wow... what is this, Jaeyoung? I''m serious? Jaekyun, with a curious face, also made a fuss with a shocked face after checking the item''s performance. Isnt this enough for level 20 level magic items to be able to rub? No, rather than that, it is the ability of Sharp Eye, a skill exclusive to the archers job, to indicate their weakness! Joong-shik''s work that has an additional ability that shows the same effect as the archers'' exclusive skill, Sharp Eyes. Seeing this, Jaeyoung and Jaegyun were surprised, but their expressions were not like lunch. no. The Dwarves aren''t satisfied with this. They said that you have to reach the minimum rare level to move on to the next level. what....? rare....? The evaluation criteria of the dwarves that require the level next to rare. The fact that Jung-shik, who hit the wall because he couldn''t jump over it, still couldn''t move on to the next level even after making such an amazing item, Jae-young was able to realize once again how excellent the dwarves are with their dexterity. However, no matter how much I make it, it doesnte out as rare. Even if you ask the dwarves, they''re just saying strange things called persimmons. Now nobody helps me! It''s been a long time since the fellow dwarves who entered the studio together started ignoring him as he fell behind without being able to cross the wall. In addition, the senior dwarves in charge of evaluation and supervision seemed to havepletely abandoned their expectations for lunch. Kkeuh.... After all, you have to teach humans that''s why... Ugh, I''m taking him because of the chief''s request, but it''s a nuisance anyway. No, why not? Jung-sik, the only human in the dwarves'' studio, is taught. This in itself was a great privilege and opportunity, but unlike his peers who were growing day by day, the fact that he could not get out of the basic stage by himself and was falling behind was bothering him every day. I dont know anymore... I think I was wrong about dreaming of bing a cksmith. Zhongsik created a masterpiece that would be astonishing to other cksmiths. Even though it was a beginner dagger, making it a rare item was a talent in itself, but that talent was not recognized among geniuses with natural dexterity called dwarves. Ho.... It''s not bad for something made by humans. Tan was looking around for a dagger. He groaned as if he was surprised. Look, I told you. Are you saying that if you raise it well, you''ll be useful? I see... The dagger has a lot of tenacity. The amount seems infinitely insufficient. Maybe its because the production time is too short? It takes a long time topletely dissolve your tenacity. Yeah... well... but it''s crude for something made using Vulcanus'' divine instrument. Tan and L are talking to each other with the dagger Jungshik made. Jaeyoung, who was listening to the two of them carefully, said to Jungshik with a strange expression. Jungshik, can you show me that hammer again? This one....? Yeah, just a moment. Jung-sik raised the performance of the item through information sharing while showing a puzzled expression at Jae-young''s words. Jaeyoung began to carefully examine the abilities of his hammer once again. [Vulcan''s Hammer - Myth] Vulcan''s hammer with fire, iron, and the power of a cksmith. It has lost most of its power, and only a small part of its divinity remains. -Equipment restrictions: Those recognized by Vulcan -Attack power: 10~15 -Durability: Infinite -Required when using equipment crafting skill -Completely immune to fire properties -HP consumption rate -99% when crafting equipment -Effort and devotion to production This is fully covered. - 2x increase in skill required There was nothing different from what he had seen before, but through the story of Tan and L, Jaeyoung was able to understand the exact meaning of the additional effect attached to the hammer. - The effort and sincerity put into the product are fully contained. Yeah... that''s what it meant. The story that L said while watching lunch in the past. By substituting it, Jaeyoung was able to figure out at once what Jungshik was doing wrong. Jungsik, what did you think while making this dagger? yes....? What were you thinking? Joong-sik asks Jae-young''s question back with an absurd expression. However, Jaeyoung asked with a serious face more than ever. Think carefully about what you were thinking while making this dagger. At those words, he frowned as if looking back at his memories. And he began to whimper and talk about how he felt at the time. Lets work really hard on making this dagger. If you make it with all your heart, will you pass this time? But what if I can''t make a rare rating this time? The senior dwarves are so scary... What do you think about this...? The production process is filled with all sorts of distractions. Jaeyoung, who heard the story, nodded and ordered a lunch. Make it again. However, this time, do not mix any idle thoughts, and put your soul into the dagger with only the thought of making the best work. Don''t be bound by time, and spend as much time as you''d be happy with, whether it''s a day, a week, or a month. yes....? Chinese food asked with a surprised face. And then he mumbled with a puzzled expression. But if you make it too slow, the senior dwarves will scold you... Speed is also a skill... No, I''ll tell you that separately. No one will disturb you, so dont feel any pressure and just focus on producing. ..... Joong-sik kept his mouth shut when Jae-young said he would take care of it. Judging from the gloomy expression on his face, he seemed to feel skeptical about what might be different. Looking at the lunch, Jaeyoung said in a low voice. Whoever said that a good cksmith is not one who has skill, talent, and artistic inspiration to put his or her soul into it. ...? More important than that is the tenacity and tenacity to never give up on hitting iron with a heavy hammer while enduring the scorching fire and the suffocating heat. With that indomitable will and belief, a true cksmith is one who burns his soul through millions... no, tens of millions of hammer strikes, and eventually creates the desired weapon. uh? I don''t think I''ve ever heard of this...? Thats what you saidst time, damn chicken wings. Do you have dementia? Jaeyoung tells Joongshik exactly what L said. At his words, Jungshik had an expression on his face as if he was pondering something. He seems to be getting some realization. Jaeyoung smiled at him and said. Think of the days when you were held as ves in the mines. Didn''t you ovee without giving up even in a hellish situation that was much more terrible and with no future in sight? I believe you can. i trust you Did that word give a strong stimulus to the heart of the jungsik? Jung-sik, who had a dazed expression as if shocked by Jae-young''s words, said with a bright smile that he had never shown before. Dex hyung... Thank you so much. Chinese food, which has only seen the spicy taste of game life, rolling here and there in the game. He spoke sincerely to Jaeyoung, who generously helped him. I will try again. And then, once again, the Chinese with the hammer. His eyes were full of unshakable steadfastness more than ever. Roaring. A st that burns hot. Taking out the red-hot iron ore from the inside, Jung-sik started pounding the hammer once again. Caang. Caang. The heat emanating from the st furnace over thousands of degrees. The heat was so hot that it took one''s breath away, but Jung-sik''s hammering did not stop. Just silently hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times. It was just hitting the same iron. with everything he had. * * * Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... how long are you going to stay here? It''s been a month since I entered the Dwarf Vige. Tan yawned as if bored and asked, but Jaeyoung said calmly. Until that hammering sound is over. caang caang. For over a month, Joong-shik has been hammering hard, devoting his entire time to making a single dagger. It was to the point where I was worried that he would get bored and go crazy, but except for the time when he really disconnected, he focused his whole mind on hitting the hammer the entire time he yed in the game. Ugh.... I wonder what the hell he''s trying to make for so long... Tan grunted at that. However, Jaeyoung had no choice but to admit what L had said before. A dog breed with terrible persistence and tenacity. A simple, repetitive, boring task that would surely make a normal person lose interest as well as concentration long ago. However, Joong-sik, who watched from beginning to end, was immersed in the production without a single distraction. Is that unwillingness and spirit to be a talent... Jung-shik, who raised his mining skill to the 2nd rank and received Vulcans interest and favor. In the process, Jaeyoung did not intervene or help, and it was a feat he had built on his own. Of course, with Jaeyoung''s help, I was able toe to this moment, but now I can admit that Jungsik has a talent with apletely different meaning than him. Yes? Of course, right now, he is just an insignificant apprentice cksmith with no special skills, technique, or artistic sense other than that talent... L responded to Jaeyoung''s words with sparkling eyes. Her face was full of strange anticipation and interest at the fact that a human worthy of attention had appeared after a long time. You never know. If you grow up to the level of being recognized as a craftsman between humans and dwarves, if you have the skills and experience that match that great talent, you might be born again... A legendary cksmith who appears very asionally from the distant past . The birth of a cksmith of God who, while still human, dares to create weapons containing the transcendent divinity of God on this earth. and that moment. The hammering sound resonating in the workshop stopped. I did it! And with the joy and joy that followed, the production of the dagger, which had been going on for a month, was over. Chapter 120 Chapter 120 I''m a Tongson (2) I''m a Ttongson who fell into doubt and frustration amidst all kinds of ignorance and coldness from the dwarves. caang caang. But now, as he hammered the hammer and pounded the iron, his face was smiling brighter than ever. caang caang. The tenacity and tenacity to never give up on hitting iron with a heavy hammer while enduring the scorching fire and the suffocating heat. Isnt the true cksmith the one who burns his soul through millions... no, tens of millions of hammer hits in that indomitable will and belief? His talent that no one noticed. Perseverance and a firm will to never give up. The fact that there was at least one person who recognized it was the biggest support for Joong-shik more than anything else. I trust you. caang caang. So, for the first time, Joong-shik was able to focus solely on production without being caught up in any thoughts. [He does not feel the heat due to the effect of the item.] [The rate of physical strength reduction is extremely reduced during crafting.] The stifling heat and heat, as well as the fatigue from hitting the hammer, are the best environment that does not hinder him. . In such an environment, Jungsik simply knocked and knocked again. It is only with one single will to create the best work by putting all of oneself into it. Woo woo woo. And a dagger made after a long month of production. After the lunch break, numerous messages began to appear in front of my eyes. [The continent has produced a level of astonishing equipment.] [The level of the product is so high that it far exceeds the given level.] [ The item''s grade has been re-adjusted.] [The first unique item has been produced.] [Weapon production proficiency greatly increases.] [Weapon crafting skill rises to rank 8.] [The title Artisan who puts the soul'' has been acquired.] [The oldest fire smiles at your feat.] Thuspleted for beginners dagger. However, it was an item that could not be called a dagger for beginners. [Dagger of Enlightenment - Unique] An indomitable weapon made by putting one''s own soul into realization of the true meaning of cksmithing. Those who use it will understand its sublime meaning, albeit indirectly. -Attack power: 150~300 -Durability: 2000/2000 -High chance of inflicting Bleeding'' and Burn'' status ailments. - 300% increase in critical damage - 100% increase in experience proficiency acquired Chinese food that surpassed the rare level required by the dwarves and created a unique weapon. Seeing it, he involuntarily cried out with joy bursting from the depths of his heart. I did it AAAAAAAAAAA! Until now, he had been rolling back and forth, walking in ce. But he knew. That at this moment, no one who ys Arcadia has aplished a feat with his own power. * * * Arcadia, a fictional world that dares not even fathom its gigantic scale. Of course, there were branches and staff in charge of each continent, but it was only one person who created all the history and chronology from the beginning of the world to the present. jack. The little boy, creator of Arcadia and always contemting the world he created, muttered something while looking at something with interest. under....? Are there any users who have already created unique-level production items? Unique rating is not so easy as expected. An item of a level that cannot be guaranteed even if a master-level cksmith puts his heart and soul into making it with extremely rare and rare materials. That''s why he couldn''t easily believe that he had created a unique-grade weapon with just ordinary iron and crude finishing materials. [This is a rating given because the relevant rating criteria have been met. Please check the corresponding data.] However, I am Alice, an artificial intelligence who contemted and watched the production process of Yatongson from start to finish. She raised a window in front of Jack''s eyes, confirming that there was no problem with that judgment. What... it took me a month to make just one dagger? [That''s right.] Jack frowned and pondered at that statement. After thinking about something for a while, he sighed and muttered. Kkeuh... Well, it''s not an impossible situation as long as Vulcan''s hammer is in, but... But I figured out how to use it too quickly. [An unexpected variable yed a big part in that part.] So... did you say Dex? Dex is ying as a wanderer in a troubled world. Jack sighed as he saw Nayatongson hanging out with him. Its a bit hard to say this, but... hes really good at games. Unlike other games, a world of infinite freedom where anything is possible. Jack had no choice but to admit it while watching Jaeyoung''s y, which was changing the continent itself by using such elements so well that no one else couldpare. The job itself went well to the most suitable person. I never thought I would overturn the system like this. A super y that other yers other than him would not dare to assume at this level. Jack, who was examining the facts that were being changed and twisted by Jae-young''s actions, couldn''t help butugh. I think the world tree will be restored at this rate...? A continental unification scenario that he thought would happen only after about 10 years. However, Jaeyoung''s y seemed to meet the prerequisites for it one by one, so Jack asked with a worried face. Ellis, what are your chances of triggering the Pangea Scenario? Alice considers countless variables and creates predictable scenarios. To Jack''s question, she gave an answer after a long calction. [Act. 92.54% chance of triggering 25 Pangea Scenario. Expected deadline of one year.] Ellis''s prediction that the Pangea scenario will begin within one year. Jack''s face was full of embarrassment because it was her answer, a near-perfect artificial intelligence that contemtes and analyzes everything in Arcadia. Oh... Pangea, arge-scale scenario where users from all over the world can freely interact with each other through the integration of scattered continents. It was a scenario that should start after the users of each continent have grown and rooted to some extent. However, he murmured at the fact that the timer that could start right now had be a ticking time bomb. I have to tell them to apply the real-time trantion system as soon as possible... The Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is always suffering from all sorts of incidents that pop up here and there. The employees who work there were Jack who became more and more sorry today. * * * Wow... what is this? Jaekyun, who saw the dagger made by Jungshik, looked at him with eyes wide open as if he were looking at a monster. It''s a real monster. Unique grade item. Very few items have been released, but they boast a price range that sounds like billions. Knowing that it was flowing into the rich, but it was literally far away from ordinary users. However, Chinese food made such a unique grade. If this fact became known, it was clear that he would receive attention from people as a celebrity at once, receive love calls from various groups that were just starting to increase their guilds and upper ranks, and receive tremendous benefits all at once. congrattions. As expected, you seem to have realized what is important when crafting equipment. sure. I stillck a lot, but I think I understand now. Thank you very much. Jaeyoung checks the dagger and congrattes him. The smile on his face at his words seemed much morefortable than before. But, like I said before, dont be too conceited. Don''t try to brag anywhere yet. Even if these things are known, only strange flies will attract them, so you should quietly focus on skill training here at the Hellion Workshop until you are satisfied. yes. I still thought so. Now I have to try other equipment besides weapons. The eyes of Jung-shik, who knows his own shorings and longs for and thirsts for learning. Seeing that, Jaeyoung gave the dagger back with a satisfied smile, but Jungshik did not ept it. Your brother has it. huh? No, you don''t have to. no. I want to give it to you. Unique grade item. It also had an unheard-of ability that raised experience and skill proficiency by 100%, so it was clear that if this was revealed, it would cause a great upheaval in the item market. Anything that can get you the price of at least one apartment. So Jae-gyun, who watched Jae-young and Jung-shik refuse to ept it, swallowed his saliva in a vain delusion that the item might return to him. I''m grateful for your feelings... but I don''t need the real item performance itself. A wandering song in a troubled world that is ambiguity itself, with no level system or skills to focus on. The most important thing in this job was to just y around and extract as much probability as possible, so Jaeyoung didn''t really need this dagger. It doesn''t matter if you sell it to someone else or give it as a gift. I just want to give my first piece of art to my brother as a token of gratitude. Joong-sik said that it doesn''t matter how you dispose of items. In the end, Jae-young put the dagger in his inventory due to his stubborn insistence on giving him this at least. okay. If you say that, I will be grateful. lol. Thank you for epting me. Then will you stay here forever? sure. Senior Dwarves and ssmates also changed their attitude towards me after seeing the dagger I made. Up until now, they had been treated as idiots who couldn''t do anything about it, but now they are seen as humans who dare to create masterpieces that even the artisan Dwarves could not easily create. It was a sign of acknowledging his skills, transcending his hatred of the race or prejudice. Now... are you going? Joong-shik knows full well that Jae-yeong has been waiting for him for a month while making the dagger. That''s why I looked at Jaeyoung who got up from his seat with a sad look on his face and asked. Ille over to y sometime. If you really want to see it, send me a note. Arcadia''smunity system does not have a real-time chat function such as whispering, but there is a system that allows you to send messages. Jung-sik nodded as if he was satisfied with it because he was registered as a friend so he could keep in touch. Okay... and thank you again. Saying a sincere thank you, Jung-sik stood and watched Jae-young''s back as he left for a long time. Hmm... the owner is unexpected. what? No, when I see him being so kind to that little boy, sometimes it seems like he has a humane side too... but when I see him feeding humans normally, he seems like a devilish bastard who is more evil than me, the devil. ...how on earth do you usually look at me? Are you asking because you dont know? Shall we take a look at each item? ..... Jaeyoung kept his mouth shut at Tans momentum, as if he were really going to point it out one by one. Even if you think about it yourself, there are actually a lot of stabbed things. At his attitude, Tan smiled and added. Anyway, I think it''s amazing that the owner sometimes shows good intentions by helping other humans without any cost. That was a bit surprising. You don''t know a dirty little bat like you. Originally, goodness resides inside all human beings. shut up! Don''t talk to me, you damn chicken. Tan and L pat again. He smiled strangely at the two, who seemed to have mistakenly thought that Jaeyoung had helped them with lunch as a favor. Then, quietly erasing the small messages that popped up in front of my eyes, I started to move on. [The helper Nayatongson has aplished a heroic feat.] [Acquired 150000 Probability.] Chapter 121 Chapter 121 Tyranny of Big Business (1) Jaeyoung... No, Kaiser, are you going back now? Maybe so? I wasted too much time here than I thought. Jaeyoung had no intention of staying in the dwarf vige for a month. However, he had spent too much time here taking care of Joong-sik, his helper and the source of precious probability. Then are you going to use the upper deck when you return? Perhaps? An essential choice to avoid excessive exhaustion of probabilities as long as there is no way to detect desert scorpions digging traps here and there waiting for their prey. That''s how they headed towards the ce where the merchants were gathering to leave the Sands of Forge, and what they saw was a huge crowd. buzz buzz. Oh, can''t you shave it off a little? Wow... thats a big deal. Ive spent all my money on equipment, so I dont have money to buy tickets. Who wants to do that and drive it? oh really. A mooring in the form of a huge cavity. However, the ce was really crowded with people who were packed without any space to set foot. ...The appearance has changed a lot here too? yes? At first, it was a little central heating, but as time passed, a system was created and settled down. The atmosphere is noisy and noisy enough to make you feel crazy. However, the users began to move in perfect order at someone''s cry to see if there was order even within it. Team 12 is leaving now. Team number 12, please gather. I will check the ticket. Show me. Oh, dont push me! Hey guys .. hey guys! Just like people waiting to board a ne, users show their tickets to a user who appears to be an attendant and leave in a row. Jaeyoung, who was watching them, asked Jaegyun with an absurd face. What is that doing now? Oh that one? I''m checking tickets for people leaving. Ill check to see if you paid or not, and Ill catch the guys who secretly wear tweezers. A pickpocket? Uh, its like a countermeasure made by a lot of people who dont pay and just follow the upper ranks and get to this point avoiding scorpions. ...Does it go that far? Oh you dont know? How crazy is the world these days because of this? Jae-young, who had stopped caring about other things while living in the dwarf vige for a month. ording to Zhongsik, once the merchants started to trade with the dwarf viges, the news was covered with stories of Arcadia. [You know that a dwarf vige called Dwarves was recently revealed in Arcadia. Do you know how much money the top earns from buying and selling high-quality weapons and equipment items inrge quantities? It was 20,000 gold. 20,000 gold! It''s 2 billion at the current market price. That''s for a one-time transaction!] Dwarf-made equipment that I thought smelled like money. However, the demand for these devices was astronomically higher than users thought. It doesnt matter how old it is. Finish us before the other kingdoms finish strengthening. A person equipped with strong equipment can take on a challenge with a high level of skill. I hear jewelry made by dwarves is in vogue these days... can you get some? The price doesn''t matter. In the early days of opening, Arcadia has very few users who have grown to such an extent. There were still many people who did not possess that much gold, but unlike him, when the overflowing gold of NPCs living in the world of Arcadia, especially of the wealthy aristocrats, began to be released, the world began to fall into a shock like a great revolution. - A new gold rush? People flocking to Arcadia. -Companies trying to enter the virtual market. Remarkable growth of GM Top''. - The rapidly rising value and influence of gold'', amodity in the game. - Tens of billions of dors in sales per month. The real economy in virtual reality that has gone crazy. Those who started having fun by trading with the Dwarves through the Merchant. In particr, the gold earned by the GM Merchant'' was huge enough to bring about a huge sensation. [We, GM''s upper management team, are seriously working on Arcadia as another reality, not a game. It is iparable to other corporate activities, but as a sound corporation, we will do our best with the goal of growing to the top of Arcadia by recruiting outstanding talent in the future.] The top of GM who made the deration. Surprisingly, they actually started hiring people directly from the real world. [GM 1st term open recruitment.] -0 merchants (height 165cm or less). - 0 wizards (freezing specialist preferred). - 0 explorers (crisis detection, terrain understanding, rank 9 or higher). In fact, their n to hire yers as full-time employees while even publicizing them was enough to make many job seekers seduced. Hey, did you see the announcement for a ce called GM? Are you crazy? They didnt look at their academic background or academic background, they only looked at their job and skill rank in the game, right? More than that, the working conditions are real workces. The sry and benefits are the same as new employees at GM Group. In addition, they have an office and even support capsules for y! Wow..... Really? Is that great? Job seekers who are still struggling to get a job because of their academic background and specs. As it became known to them that they could wear name badges as employees ofrge corporations simply with the skills of the characters in the game, even those who jumped into Arcadia aimed for it, causing all sorts of topics and controversies, heating up Korean society. Anyway... the explorers and wizards needed to cross the desert are always on standby, and drinking water and consumable items necessary for abnormal conditions are provided indefinitely, so the price is a bit high, but almost everyone uses the top. Top bus by name. A one-way ticket cost 1 gold, which was an incredible price, but in fact, almost all users were buying tickets from the top, to see if it was cheaper to get from person to person than to prepare for an unexpected situation. What is it, but the top is all GM? Ah, it takes at least a week for the top to go back and forth, so the small and medium tops once a week? It works very infrequently. The GM Merchants Group consists of several Merchant Merchants and operates them repeatedly every day. That''s why it looks like that. Is it because of the strong capital power of conglomerates? Except for 3 or 4 of the dozens of upper tiers in the huge cavity, all of them were stered with the patterns of the upper tiers of GM. Ah, you said you dont like GMs upper management team, right? Jaeyoung frowned as if he didn''t like it. Looking at him like that, Jaekyun muttered as if he remembered now. Then he waved his hand and said. are you okay. Still, there are a few other guilds, so you can use them to get over it. Just like that, the two of them walk toward the small and medium-sized upper end huddled together in the corner of the huge mooring. But there were those who stood in their way. Hey users. Haven''t you bought a ticket yet? A user who asks with a friendly smile. Jaekyun answered his question with an innocent face. Ah yes. I want to save it now. Thats right. Then would you like toe over here? Right before the ticket deadline for leaving soon. A user who solicits customers. However, Jae-gyun, who noticed that the ce he was guiding to was the GM, said with a puzzled face, pointing his finger at the small and medium-sized business in the corner. Ah... I''m sorry, but we''re going to use something other than GM. Not the top of the GM, but the other tops in one corner. The user, who was talking with a smile when he said that he was using them, quickly changed his face to a cold face and asked. why? yes....? No, why do you want to go to a top that you havent even heard of, leaving behind a big and sure top spot like us? ...? The question why they don''t buy tickets for themselves. To such a question, Jaekyun didn''t know what to answer, so he stood there dumbfounded with a brainless face. Why is it cheaper over there? Do you know how many cases of getting caught and killed by a scorpion while using a cheap guild like that? If anything, it''s better to use ourpany, which is definitely guaranteed... That''s how the user started to tell Jaekyun and Jaeyoung the justification for why should we use the GM to cross the desert?''. Jae-kyun was swung around by an unknown employee at the top of the GM, and he was sweating, not knowing what to do. So, you use it as the top of the GM. Instead, Ill give you a 10% discount on the ticket price. Uh... that''s... Jae-gyun, who is about to be sold tickets like a snake jumps over a wall. It was as if he went to Dongdaemun to look at clothes and was captured by nasty men and forced to wear a full outfit and buy it as a set, so Jaeyoung stepped out. Don''t worry, we''ll take care of it. yes....? The employee asked Jae-young''s refusal, asking whether he thought he had almost passed it. Jaeyoung spoke to him again. Im not going to use GMs upper management team, so I told them to just leave without losing their strength. GM top. I don''t know about others, but it''s not a very good perception for Jaeyoung. However, apart from that, Jae-young started to get annoyed as they often shed because of the fact that the forces in the game were constantly being called out based on the strong backing of argepany. And at his attitude, the employee began to openly reveal his hostility with a mocking smile. Ah.... You must have been a bit ipetent to use our guild. Sorry for this. obvious mockery. He looked up and down at Jaegyun and Jaeyoung, then opened the seat with an unpleasant smile and said. Well, you can use the other guild as much as you like. I hope you will not die from meeting a scorpion on the way across the desert. Truly the ultimate king of power. It was to the point that Tan and L, who had been watching it silently, suddenly elerated. Wow... Master, dont you kill that? Aren''t you innocent even if you kill him? You are a man full of meanness. Heavenly powers are preparing for a righteous judgment. Tan and L whisper to each other to use their powers if they''re going to mess with it right now. However, Jaeyoung just didn''t know what to do, so he told Jaegyun, who was at a loss. Hey lets go. huh....? Yes! Jaeyoung didn''t show any reaction and just silently moved on. Jae-kyun, who had been quietly following him behind him, noticed something and shouted. uh? Those people...? why? What? The people Jae-kyun points to. There were two people who had just met before. I thought it was an apple and a lemon...? It was still here. A small caravan run by individual yers called a pie caravan. Jae-gyun winked at him and asked Jae-young when he was amazed to see the upper house, which the newlyweds were managing, was stuck in a corner waiting for guests. How about using it over there? Um...st time I looked at it, it wasn''t very reliable... But... other guilds are already leaving. Previous memories of not being so trustworthy after hiring NPC mercenaries. It wasn''t a very tempting proposal because he couldn''t find the hidden scorpions, and eventually exhausted his chances with strong spirit, but he was the only one still recruiting buses among the small and medium corps, so there was actually no option. uh? Are you...? See you again. Apple and Lemon look at Jaeyoung and Jaekyun with surprised eyes as they get closer as if they know who they are. Jaeyoung asked the two of them. Are tickets still on sale? Do you have a seat for two? Then, he seemed embarrassed for a moment, but soon smiled brightly and said as if he was d. sure. Of course it is. Jaeyoung and Jaekyun leave the desert again through the top of the pie. But there was one thing that no one noticed. The fact that there is a guild that secretly follows them with a lot of malice behind them. Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Tyranny of Big Business (2) The Great Desert Shurim. A drynd of death where suffocating heat heats the endless sand desert. It was one of those prohibitions never to set foot in, with countless victims killed by huge scorpions waiting for travelers beneath the sand. But now, the desert has be the Golden Road for pioneers blinded by gold. By countless explorers and merchants, more people than ever before were stepping in. Wow... is Dwarf equipment that popr? Apple''s story that orders are pouring in among merchants trying to get dwarf-made goods. When he said that there were many people who wanted to buy things even with a higher amount of money, Jae-kyun said with bright eyes as if he was envious. Wow..... Then you must have made a lot of money! It seems like there are a lot of stories in the news these days. The upper house that the couple is running as the same merchant. There weren''t that many users who yed as merchants, so it was a story thrown roughly as I guessed, but at Jae-gyun''s words, the two said with a bitter smile. I don''t make that much money like the news says. I have to be good at what I bring this time, so I should leave a little at the main exhibition. uh? is it so? why? The media makes headlines about earning billions of won in gold from a single trade, but Apple and Lemon seem to bepletely different. The two began toment the difficulties of a small guild that could not tell others to Jae-gyun, who asked in puzzlement. First of all, this is because of economies of scale. Talking about it in the press or news is, in fact... it''s no different than talking about one particr top. If it''s a certain guild... can''t it be...? that''s right. Its GMs top. Based on the mighty capital ofrge corporations, it is an upper rank that boasts an overwhelming scale among the upper ranks created by users in an instant and rises to the top. Of course, it wasn''t the traditional gigantic upper level that existed in Arcadia, but it was growing frighteningly fast. But Apple and Lemon didn''t look so kindly on them. Really... I''ve heard that evenrge corporations can be petty and vicious, but it''s really no joke. yes? What do you mean? one month. In the short time when Sand of Forge was released to users and active exchanges began, GM''s upper managementpany set up their own rules on an overwhelming scale and dominated the market. First of all, we recruited all of the high-level explorers and wizards specializing in freezing. Oh, I know that. But not only that, but they took away the person who was supposed to work for our guild. Well, I heard that we decided to give twice the amount we agreed to give. Typical talent extraction. Those who lost their essential manpower overnight because they cleverly seduced the explorers and wizards they hired with great difficulty. The problem was not only that. Ie from trading is important, but there are some users who are at the top of the list, right? The ie from tickets sold by the top bus is also really tough, but they openly solicit customers and take away all the customers. You have to hire an explorer or wizard user, or if that doesn''t work, you have to pay a lot of money and hire NPCs, but to cover the cost, you have to operate the top bus. However, several small and medium-sizedpanies, including Apple, are in a situation where no one wants to use the bus, so only flies are blown every time. Hearing the story, Jaekyun eximed with a surprised expression on his face. uh? We suffered from that too. ...is that so? yes. They told me not to go there because I was going to a ce where small and medium-sized businesses are concentrated, but somehow that must have been on purpose... Jaekyun muttered as if he finally understood everything. In response to his testimony, Apple sighed deeply with a dark expression. They do sabotage openly, but we dont say anything. why? The GM Group in this world is huge, but... the GM Group that exists outside is even bigger. The GM Group exists both in virtual and real world. When you think of the retaliatory measures that you will be subjected to knowingly or unknowingly for doing something that interferes with the business of argepany. In their bitter situation, Jaekyun shut his mouth with a confused face, not knowing what to say. Hmm... I guess there''s a lot to learn from human wickedness. You trample otherpetitors in an ingenious way. Tan scrawled something on the ck scroll as if he liked it. El, who was looking at him like that, looked at him with a look of genuine disgust and said. What else are you writing that kind of thing, you bastard bat who ate everything from the ground up. Oh thats noisy. These things should be properly educated to the demons below. I mean, I think I''m going to be pushed back by humans. Tan writes down the things he needs to learn each time, perhaps feeling a sense of crisis at the appearance of a strongpetitor. L, who had been looking at him pathetically, was grumbling when someone suddenly shouted in a loud voice. Supra Lord! Something is running from behind. what....? where....? Explorer NPC hired as a mercenary at the top of the pie. Behind him, he pointed, was something speeding up, waving sand and dust. what....? Is it the top...? Soon after, the group began to be visible to the naked eye. It is not clear, but Apple tilted its head as if it was strange to see dozens of people riding camels. Jaeyoung asked him curiously. Why are you like that? What''s wrong? No... here in the desert, you should never run so fast because of scorpions. Scorpions lurking all over the sand desert. Vibration is what they sense most sensitively, so the act of running quickly was tantamount tounching a wide-area provocation at the scorpions. That''s why it''s absolutely taboo no matter what. Apple and Lemon looked uneasy as they saw a group of mysterious people doing things against themon sense that anyone who crossed the desert would know. And their anxious guesses soon turned into certainties. This... why do you think itsing our way? Those who are running in the exact direction where the top of the pie is. As soon as they got close enough to be able to tell who was who with their eyes, Jaeyoung noticed. The fact that those who have caught up now do not have carts. who are you....? What are you doing...? A desert where there is an unspoken rule to keep a certain distance from other merchants and move separately. But those who follow the rules as if they don''t care about them and menacingly hover around the top of the pie. And then, when Jaekyun found a familiar face, he shouted in a surprised voice. uh? That person was that...?! An employee of the GMpany who tried to entice Jaeyoung and Jaekyun to use thepany. He stood there with a sneer on his face, and the others were slowly approaching the top of the pie, weapons in hand, with an air of hostility. Hey Apple? Were there bandits here in the desert? Jaeyoung asks because he has a guess. However, in response to his question, Apple shook his head with a stiff face. ...Until now, I''ve never heard of such a case. However, those who approached clearly showed the will to plunder. The mercenaries hired at the top of the pie also tried to fight against them, but because they hired rtively cheap NPCs, it looked like they had no chance of winning. What the heck is this... Apple and Lemon look like they are quite taken aback by the unexpected situation they are experiencing for the first time. Jaeyoung told the two of them roughly the situation in a low voice. It''s what GM''s upper management team did. yes? I beg your pardon? Over there, that person is the one who urged us to use GM. Is that really...? The GM corps conducts all sorts of checks and sabotage against the small and medium corps run by users, probably trying to enjoy a monopoly position in the market. Until now, they knew that they were pressuring them knowingly and unknowingly, but they didn''t think they would attack in this way, so Apple shouted at them in a voice filled with anger. Hey, you fucking bastards. What if GM is a bigpany? If you trample on me like this, do you think we can stay still? Just touch a single hair tip! Im going to spread it all over the inte. Users approaching slowly with vicious momentum. Because they werepletely outnumbered and outnumbered, the threats were uttered with viciousness. However, at those words, an employee at the top of GM spoke in a tone full of ridicule. Ha GM top? We are just a group of bandits, what are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense! Do you think we wouldn''t know that it was pulled off like that? Who else but you... Isnt that a dangerous statement? If you get sued for mentioning argepany like GM without any solid physical evidence, then it would be really difficult. Apple''s face turned pale at his words of smirking and sneering. If he touches the top of GM, he, who is just an ordinary person in reality, will have to fight with argepany that is in charge of one axis of Korea, and that is so lonely and miserable. No one knows and no one helps, and you have to endure the long years of suffering by wasting time and money in endless fights. That''s why Apple and Lemon had no choice but to look at his ridiculed words. We are just bandits. I dont know why the GM team came out here, but they said they were waiting to rob easy-going members like you. A GM employee smirking and sneering at the upper ss for being insignificant. He looked at Jaeyoung and Jaekyun and said something mocking. Are there any Hogu who use this sloppy Merchant? I''m sorry, but I think I stepped on shit. Even if it''s expensive, you have to find a safe ce. Dont you know the saying that cheap is expensive? Lets kill the master! It is the moment to save the weak in crisis and bring justice to thisnd. He was satisfied with a face full of ridicule as if he had waited for this moment without even knowing who he was touching. There was no concern for him as he clearly outnumbered and outnumbered them. Hey Apple. yes....? It was the samest time, but the service is shit this time too. ..... Apple bites her lips with a dark expression, as if she has nothing to say at Jaeyoungs words. In a situation where it wouldn''t be strange to be annihted right away, a look of despair appeared on his face. Would you like to take some investment at this time? It seems to be in need of aplete overhaul. yes....? investment? What is that..... Apple asks with a questionable look when he suddenly brings up the topic of investment. Looking at him, Jaeyoung took off his mask. And muttered in a low voice. Kangshin. Lone Crusader Verheimer. Whoops. Quaang. What is it? What is this...? A giant hammer suddenly appeared. And when they see the torch burning in the hammer, they cry out in bewilderment. Jaeyoung said while looking at the surprised faces of Apple and Lemon. Didnt you say that the GMs upper management team was shit? Then I will invest myself, so where would you like to grow it properly? Thergest caravan in Arcadia history. That''s what... In the name of that Dex. Jaeyoung took off his mask and returned to his true form. Those who saw the nickname proudly disyed above his head were astonished. [Lone Crusader Dex] De Dex? Could that be from the Great Spear War...? That moment when everyone is shocked by the sudden change. Jaeyoung said with a more evil smile than ever before. Here... the hammer is out, you bastards. Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Tyranny of Big Business (3) A shield made of divine power. And Dex stands proudly in front of him wearing pure white armor, holding a huge hammer that looks terrifyingly brutal just looking at it. When Dex, who had borrowed the power of Verheimer, appeared in front of the thieves with an evil smile, they were quite taken aback by the sudden appearance of a strong man. What is it? I''m sure I even checked the character''s name...?'' He used to look clumsy with the nickname Kaiser. But now, wearing pure white armor and holding a huge hammer that looked so terrifying, he looked powerful enough to feel intimidating just by looking at it. How do you do this, Captain? When he, who was supposed to give instructions, stayed still without saying anything, the subordinate asked a puzzled question. He closed his eyes as he saw Dex approaching slowly, brandishing a hammer menacingly as if he had no intention of getting bitten by something that had never happened. All attack! It''s just that kid anyway! Don''t be vignt and kill it at once. Pour it all out! Aside from Jae-young, the upper ranks do not have anybat personnel to speak of. That''s why he shouted to pour all his firepower into Jaeyoung. And starting with his words, numerous attack skills began to pour into Jaeyoung. Fire Burst! Steel sh! Rapid decline! A step behind! Endless chaos! Pierce the heart. Precision sniping! A prudent room! Beginning with curse magic to inflict debuffs, many attribute attack magic that flies. In addition, fierce arrows aiming for vital points and huge greatsword attacks. Skills boasting spectacr effects and powerful attack power began pouring out in an instant, but Jaeyoung was not at all embarrassed. Whoops. [The shield of divinity switches to defense mode.] [The unyielding will ovees a lot of damage.] [The faith of justice resists the curse that strangles the body.] [The magic resistance of Fama''s body reaches its maximum. .] An attack that dozens of users pulled out with all their might. It was a powerful attack that even Dex couldn''t dare to escape, but what he called was none other than Verheimer, a crusader specializing in defense. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak. Numerous skill attacks hit the divine shield, which was created by maximizing divine power, and a tremendous roar and shockwave erupted, but after the momentary sand dust settled, they shouted with a shocked face. This crazy...! Does this make sense? You poured it out like that, but you said you blocked it? How much defense is that? Even after being hit by it, how did you not heal and stay fine like that! A health bar disyed overhead. When they saw his stamina, which seemed to have not been cut even 20%, let alone half, they were shocked and Jaeyoung said with an obvious look. Didnt you know that originally the Pdin and Crusader sses were specialized in defense? If I wanted to kill him in one shot, I should have brought 100 people and killed them one by one. That''s what I''m talking about right now... No matter how much a pdin ss, it ismon sense that it is impossible to survive even after receiving so many attacks at once. Even more so if he poured only powerful skills with all his might without sparing mana. However, before the employee could even open his mouth, his eyes widened as he saw Jaeyoung''s rapidly increasing stamina. [Unstoppable Heart is activated.] [Health regeneration rate is greatly increased.] [Divine Hymn is activated.] [Rapid Heal is activated.] Jae-Young, who has just exhausted his attacks, seems to be maxed out again. s health bar. Those who were watching it with their own two eyes shouted with despair. What the fuck! What the hell is the difference in level, such a ridiculous situation...! I can''t beat this. Run away right now... Those who were swearing here and there and wandered around. And the employee at GM who had been dragging them gulped at Jaeyoung, who was walking slowly, looking at him clearly. Why the hell did this happen...?'' Prior to the start, the task was expected to be simple, inflicting irreparable damage to thepetitor Pi. But now, an absurdly powerful person intervened and everything went awry. Now... I think your turn is roughly over at this point, but now its my turn, right? [The mes of the zing dawn are activated.] Rurrrr. A pure white torch began to burn on that huge and vicious hammer. Contrary to its appearance, Jae-young fixed the hammer, which exudes a sacred energy to the point of irony, and said with an evil smile. The hammer is out, you bastards. * * * [You have wiped out the mysterious gang of bandits!] [PK penalty for self-defense judgment is not applied.] [Skill skill ended.] [Probability 9231 consumed.] The bandits were annihted in an instant with overwhelming power. Jaeyoung. He looked at El, who was tearing away the odds, with surprised eyes as if he were surprised and asked. uh? What is it that you only rip off? ...How much probability did you think it would take? In exchange for dealing with such small puppets? Compared to the tens of thousands of scorpions when dealing with level 160 scorpions, it was a very rewarding charge. However, as if he noticed Jaeyoung''s thoughts, L said with a strangely satisfied smile. I did put a little discount on it, though. Because I, as an archangel, can''t stand by and watch it while doing the noble work of judging such wicked people and saving the weak. When Jaeyoung was making an expression of surprise at those words, someone suddenly started talking to him. Hey... Apple and Lemon stood behind Jaeyoung withplex expressions on their faces. The two bowed at the same time as if they had made a promise. Thank you very much. If it wasn''t for the customer, I would have suffered a lot of damage. Pie top run by two newlyweds. He didn''t know exactly why these two were merchants in the game, but Jaeyoung lowered his head and looked at the two as they were giving thanks, and quickly tapped the calctor in his head. Anyway, I needed someone toe and go between the Dwarves and the Elves on a regr basis...'' A peace agreement between the Dwarves and the Elves. As a result, merchants were needed to move the necessary items between these two races, so sooner orter merchants who would receive rted quests from them would appear, but Jae-young was convinced by the GM''s power struggle. It meant that the one who would benefit greatly from the harmony between elves and dwarves would be none other than GM. I can''t let it go like that.....'' Jae-young, who had been thinking about giving a damn about GM''s upper managementpany even if it wasn''t for this time. So he decided. To properly grow this clumsy and crude trade union, and periodically use the sprouts as a means to eat. You said apples and lemons, right? That''s why Jaeyoung looked as friendly as possible and said with a friendly smile. Shall we finish talking about what we were talking about earlier? * * * Newlyweds Apple and Lemon. These two were taking this game much more seriously than Jaeyoung thought. Me and Lemon were actually co-workers. It wasn''t a ce where the sry was that high, but it was enough for the two of us to live happily. Until thepany goes bankrupt... A typical story of a bankrupt small business where the CEO is arrested overnight for embezzlement and angry investors rush in and grab him by the throat and thrash him in the office. Apple and Lemon, who became the parties to such a story, lost their jobs overnight and became unemployed. So... I was feeling helpless because I suddenly became unemployed, but this game was released. Humanity''s first virtual reality Arcadia. Unlike other general games, a world of unprecedented scale that perfectly embodies the five senses like reality. Apple and Lemon, who came across Arcadia by chance and saw great potential in this new market, started their own businesses here as fate would have it. I was fired from my job and decided to be a dark gamer...? Jaekyun looks at Apple and Lemon with strange eyes as if he doesn''t understand at all. At his question, Lemon shouted in protest. At first nce, it sounds like something strange, but my brother and I started this business after considering it very seriously! It''s not just a random shout or something! It was a choice that people withmon sense could not easily try to y Arcadia as a couple to make money while purchasing the expensive connection capsule and paying the expensive monthly fee. However, Jaeyoung smiled as if he liked the two of them. That means... this is a job for you two and a real business? Yes. It may sound funny to others, but this is real business for us! Then it''s only natural that you''re connected to Arcadia all day, right? Well, without having to go to work the next day or being unable to log in due to a dinner party. That...isnt it? Apple answers Jaeyoung''s question with a frown, as if feeling something strange. Jaeyoung nodded at his answer and said with a satisfied face. It''s good. Then I invest in this top. Investment? I''ve been wanting to ask you for a while, but what kind of investment are you talking about... Trade with the dwarves. And I will give you the right to monopolize the trade routes with the elves. yes....? Oh and GM top? I''ll even stop them from doing weird tricks. For that, you need to borrow some strength from the outside, so you have to send me some y videoster. Apple and Lemon opened their mouths in a daze as if they were distracted by Jae-young''s sudden talk of unimaginable conditions. They shook their heads violently at Jaeyoung''s words and asked again with disbelief faces. Wait a minute. What do you mean? Monopolizing the trade routes between dwarves and elves...? It is literally. Items that elves and dwarves trade with each other will be transported and sold by the Pie Merchant exclusively on behalf of them. Starting with by-products from the World Tree, rare minerals and materials that have not yet been revealed to users, and the rare and powerful items produced by these two races, it was clear that the added value that would be created would be enormous. . gulp. Apple swallows saliva with an astonished face as if he had intuitively sensed it. He hurriedly asked with a more serious face than ever before. But the GM corps would never stand by and watch such a situation.... It is impossible with the power of a small corps like us. Oh, dont worry about that part. yes? From now on, the elves and dwarves will not do business with the GM corps or any corps rted to it in the slightest. ..... Apple shut up at Jaeyoung''s words. No matter how you think about it, it''s a very unrealistic story. But since he said it so confidently, he couldn''t contain his curiosity. Why? What? To be honest, it makes no sense. Why on earth would elves and dwarves give such a huge monopoly to a corner store like ours and throw away the most vicious from apetitor''s point of view, but the most trustworthy from a customer''s point of view? Unless you get shot in the head, what kind of crazy customer would choose an unheard ofpany with a bad track record rather than a bigpany? ording to Apple''smon sense, it was only natural and natural for GM''s business group to dominate the trade routes between the dwarves and elves. Why would they? However, Jae-young broke his obvious truth with a face that said it was so natural. Because I say so. Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Tyranny of Big Companies (4) Oh! You''re back safely. Were there any major problems going up? Armaments filled with carts pulled by the top of the pie. An NPC with a bright smile checking the condition of each item. He took out a thick pocket from his chest and handed it to Apple. Your order isplete. Contrary to what I was worried about because the scale was so small, it was a satisfactory deal. well done [Sessfullypleted the ordering quest Weapon Supply in Myrin Territory''.] [The reliability of the top of the pie has increased.] [Obtained 1300 gold.] [Acquired EXP from trade.] [Level rises . I did.] [Skill weapon trade rises to C rank.] [The discount rate of weapon trade increases.] With the help of Jaeyoung, Apple sessfully escaped the desert of death and arrived safely at the territory where the order was ced. He thought to himself as he stared nkly at the bag of gold that hade into his hands at the end of the long journey. Purchasing cost of 500 gold,bor cost and timepared to the cost... Roughly 400 gold profit.'' A situation where a profit of 40 million won was obtained in one trade. It was a jaw-droppingly huge amount of revenue earned in about two weeks of round trip, but Apple''s face was not so bright. It was a profit that I was lucky in many ways, but the risk is too big in reality...'' As it is an economy of scale, the top-tier system requires an appropriate amount of investment for a huge profit. However, Apple was able to feel firsthand that it could never survive in Arcadia at its current level. You said you wanted to run a proper business? Then you should also consider increasing the scale at once through investment. From what I''ve experienced at first nce, it seems that even a slight twist on the top will result in huge losses? In a halfway state like this, you cant roll very much and get turned upside down. Dex saved the top of the pie from a crisis. Apple, who was deep in thought as he remembered his words, was startled by the merchant NPC who said something in front of him. ...Are you listening to me? yes? Oh what did you say? An NPC with an apologetic expression. He hesitated with a puzzled face, but then spoke with difficulty. You did a better job with the request than I thought, but I think it will be difficult to continue dealing with your guild in the future. yes....? What do you mean by that all of a sudden... The Myrin Territory, which is the base of the Pi Merchants. Apple, which has been steadily building trust by solving numerous order requests here, asked without hiding its embarrassment at his words. Oh, dont get me wrong. It''s not because there''s something wrong with your guild. Then, what the hell is the reason for this... He looked around with a troubled look on his face and whispered softly at Apples persistent question, which he couldnt understand why he couldnt issue orders in the future even though he hadnt done anything wrong. . That''s what I mean..... The lord is thinking of arming all the troops in the territory with Dwarven equipment. But to do that, it''s too difficult to handle the volume with the size of a normal guild... It seems like we signed a contract to exclusively deal with one guild. What? It wasn''t that there weren''t cases where certain items were purchased in bulk through one merchant. However, the fact that the item was a product made by the dwarves made Apple ask with a curious face. Is that the GM top by any chance...? huh? Do you guys know the top? I do know... ording to rumors, it is said that the top is the most reliable ce to stably supply the dwarves inrge quantities. That''s why the lord decided to take these measures, so don''t be too sad. Korean conglomerate GM Group. Apple was silently thinking about the unstoppable move of the top of GM, which was aggressively expanding its power with the giantpany as its parent. ..... Brother... Apple and Lemon turned around without receiving a new order. Lemon looked at Apple, who had a hard expression and said nothing, with a worried expression. Mijin, what do you think is good? Random questions. However, as if he understood what Apple was asking, Lemon pondered for a long time with a serious expression before opening his mouth. ...I dont know if what he suggested was real, and even if it was, whether it was right to ept those conditions. The condition that Jaeyoung put on these two. It was none other than asking for a stake in the top of the pie. From now on, the two of you will help grow the top of the pie to the top of this continent. Instead, give me a 50% stake. Half of me? What kind of nonsense is that... A very outrageous request. So Apple tried to decline the offer without giving it a second thought. However, he couldn''t bring himself to say it because of the painful reality that Jae-young threw at him. You may think this is excessive, but think about it calmly. Will this corps really be able to grow further than this? Perhaps, let alone maintain the status quo, the corps itself will not be blown away after suffering enormous damage in subsequent incidents. A ce that is so realistic that it cannot be called a game and has a huge economic ecosystem. Even surviving in this world of hardcore itself, which did not consider the convenience of users, was not an easy task. And as time went by, Apple was realizing it directly in the sabotage of rivals and giants that grew more and more. Do you earn tens of thousands of gold a year and take half of it, or earn hundreds and thousands of gold and take all of it. Which one is the best? We didn''t know it at the moment, but now Apple understands exactly what he meant. Watching the GM corps encroach on the Myrin estate, which can be said to be the base where his corps has been active so far, Apple took out a scroll from its inventory as if it had made up its mind. [Investment contract] The contract he handed over to sign once he made a decision. Pulling it out and unfolding it, Apple said to Lemon. Im sorry, Mijin. what....? Just... everything. I was the one who said that this game would make money, and I was the one who made them spend most of their savings and savings to buy those expensive capsules and invest most of their savings to make an investment to raise the upper ranks. .... Apple had only thought of a rosy future when it started. However, Arcadia was not as easy as he thought. Ive been thinking and worrying about it every day... Actually, even now, its a lot of limits. I dont have the confidence to run thispany alone in the future. Awless society in which modernws and norms that are more realistic than reality do not exist. Apple didn''t have the confidence to ovee all the adversity and threats and keep this top. He moaned and worried even when he was sleeping at night. Upon Apple''s candid confession, Lemon stroked his hand without saying anything. Im sorry about that. ..... I agreed with my brother''s words that it would be money, and I bought a capsule and broke my savings to prepare for investment. All the choices we made in this game were made by the two of us together. Apple always respected Lemon''s opinions and was with her at every important decision. That''s why Lemon held Apple''s hand tightly and looked at him with eyes full of trust. No matter what choice I make, I dont me or regret my brother. Everything we''ve done so far is what we did together. Mijin-ah... Apple made a touching expression at her words. Lemon nced at him mischievously and said. Are you going to keep calling me by that name? My name here is Lemon? Yes....? Oh sorry. Apple is taken aback by Lemon''s words and apologizes. Smiling at his reaction, Lemon looked carefully at the contract he pulled out and muttered, Take half of it is too bullying, but... Judging from the current situation, this would be a wise choice, right? ..... A situation where you have to give half of the top tier that you have worked so hard to give to someone you dont know. However, Lemon looked at Apple as if determined and said. If I want to give you half of it, I will have to work harder in the future to earn a lot more than I do now. At her yful words, Appleughed and said. Of course... Thank you for trusting me. It happens again. It''s just that I didn''t make a decision for no reason, so don''t be like that. Laughing at her words, Apple reached for the open contract. [Would you like to agree to the contract?] [Warning An established contract cannot be canceled without mutual consent of both parties. Do you really agree?] A harsh phrase of warning that once a decision is made, there is no going back. But Apple hit the ept button without hesitation. [The investment contract for the top of the pie was established.] That''s how it started. It is the story of Apple and Lemon, the owners of the giant merchantpanies who dominate themercial districts of the second continent of Arcadia and in reality generate trillions of won worth of gold every year as profit. * * * Jaeyoung was eating with Jaekyun at a restaurant. He looked at Jae-gyun, who was happily swallowing the food in his mouth as if it was about to explode, with a look of wonder as he asked. Eat slowly. Why are you eating so militantly? ...I''m hungry these days because I''m losing weight. Eating here doesnt make you gain weight, so you have to deliberately eat your fill here. Jae-gyun hurriedly ate food as if he had starved for several days. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung asked as if he was absurd. Are you on a virtual reality diet or something? huh. This one is pretty effective. After eating like this and then disconnecting, you feel less hungry than you thought? The diet method that is emerging as a hot topic these days. Looking at Jae-kyun, who is on a novel diet, who feels full in virtual reality and eats a full meal that he cannot eat in real life, Jae-young asked. ...You''re not losing weight because of Chaeyeon, are you? sting Watching Jaeyoung hesitate momentarily at the question, there were many things he wanted to say, but the phrases that popped up in front of him made the nagging to him disappear from his mind in an instant. [The other party has agreed to the contract.] [The investment contract for the top of the pie has been established.] [Acquired 50% of the stake in the top of the pie.] Hmm..... The decision is quicker than I thought. ....what? Jae-gyun, who shoves the food in front of his eyes into his mouth and looks curious at Jae-young''s self-talk. Jaeyoung asked him. Hey Jaekyung. Can I ask you one favor? What request...? It''s not that difficult... can you bring me this? Jaeyoung takes out a pocket from his inventory and hands it over. Jaekyun took the pouch without thinking and shouted in fright at the message floating in front of him. [You have acquired 10000 gold.] A million gold...? It''s worth as much as 1 billion gold at the current market price. It was an enormous sum for Jaeyoung, a college student, to have, so Jaekyun looked at him in amazement as he handed it over casually. You have the top we used? Ill give you a note to send to the two of them, so meet them again and give them the money. All this much money...? uh. Then, apany me to the Dwarf Vige and introduce me to Nanyatongson. I''ll tell you in advance by note, but if you go and mediate, it''ll be easier to talk with the dwarves. story....? What the hell are you talking about? Jaekyun asks back with a stupid expression as if he doesn''t understand what the situation is. Jaeyoung replied to him with an evil smile. There is such a thing... There are people who need to be soaked properly. GM top. It was time to feed the giant taffy to those who were doing all sorts of things at the top of the small and medium-sizedpanies. Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Tyranny of Conglomerates (5) Choi Chun-sik, the head of GM Group, could not hide his displeasure while listening to the monthly performance report. These bastards... do you think the third quarter earnings will drop rather than rise? An important ce where the presidents of each affiliate gather to report on the next quarter''s performance and discuss future prospects. However, he couldn''tugh at all because of the dark stories that were pouring out. An 80% decrease in sales in the wireless division and the electronics business in the previous year? What the hell are you guys doing to get paid? It''s insane to put this in front of me now as performance! Quaang. Chairman Choi Chun-shik could not stand the anger boiling deep in his heart. When he hit the desk, the air in the conference room became chilly, as if an arctic cold wave had swept in. And the president in charge of GM Electronics lowered his head with a pale face as he saw Chairman Choi Chun-sik ring at him with eyes as if he were about to tear to death. Sorry, Chairman! It''s a shameful story, but... No matter how hard the researchers and the development team try, it''s impossible to break the stronghold of Ajin Electronics. Semiconductor and wirelessmunication devices business, which can be said to be the flower and everything of the electronics industry. However, Ajin Electronicspletely dominated the market itself based on ridiculous technology. That''s why I gave you unlimited R&D funding! It doesn''t matter how much money goes into it, so somehow catch up with those old electronic bastards! However, it is a future industry with tremendous added value to give up just because a strongpetitor has emerged. So, in order to catch up somehow, even the money earned from other affiliates was pouring in and making astronomical investments, but the results were so disastrous. It is a very presumptuous statement, but Mr. Chairman.... Experts and academics believe that Ajin Electronics has at least 50 years of technology... no, it is estimated that it is 100 years ahead. It is not something that can be solved simply with money. The CEO of GM Electronics, with a serious look on his face, as if he had to say something even if his head ran away at this moment. Chairman Choi Chun-shik''s face turned red with anger at his words, but he spoke in a calmer and colder voice than ever before. Is the situation that serious? Ajin Electronics and GM Electronics, which have obviously been fighting for rankings due to the gap in technological prowess in the industry. However, one day, they suddenly released a ridiculous semiconductor to the world, and at the same time announced a huge innovative item called the G-1, a smartphone that is different from the portablemunication device envisioned at the time. was changing We are trying our best to produce low-cost products as much as possible and switch to a strategy that focuses sales on developing countries and countries with low technology, but making sales and performance like in the past is... honestly, I think it will be difficult. That''s why GM Electronicspletely bypassed it by giving uppetition with Ajin Electronics and selling low-quality products at low prices. However, since gross sales and profit rates themselves were iparably lower than before, the report cards that came out every quarter were at a disastrous level to the point of missing the splendid past. It''s pitiful..... Chairman Choi Chun-sik, who made GM Electronics himself and made it the number one electronicspany in Korea. Now, he is in the position of chairman, who has stepped down from the front lines and leads all affiliates. Sooner orter, Ill go look around there myself, so get ready when you get back. And all of you guys listen carefully. It''s difficult, difficult, impossible for me to put you guys in the position of president. In order to somehow make this GM group the No. 1 group in Korea, I made them do it regardless of means and methods! If not, let it be! With evil and with ugliness. Chairman Choi Chun-shik, who lived in the era of hunger spirit in the past. The bosses, who had been quietly watching his words, hurriedly lowered their heads and made a sound. you''re right! President! I will do my best to renovate every day! We will deliver results that are not ashamed of next quarter. The bosses who make fun of their mouths in fear of sparks flying at them. However, among them, there was someone who was watching the current situation with a rxed attitude. Choi Je-gyu, the youngest son of Chairman Choon-sik Choi, the idiot of the entire group, and troublemakers. Jegyu, who was looking at the other elderly presidents as if they were pitiful, muttered as if he wanted everyone to listen with a strange mocking smile on his face. You messed upst quarters results and made a huge mess until this quarter, but can you really believe what theyre saying here? ..... The meeting room became quiet as if cold water had been poured on him at his question. Everyone''s eyes were on him, but Jaegyu didn''t flinch at all and said with a confident face. If you are really confident, shouldnt you get a memorandum or a letter of assurance that you will voluntarily resign? I don''t think it''s okay to say something that you can''t take responsibility for, even though you''re in the position of president, not an executive director or managing director. ..... A remark that feeds all the bosses who are making fun of their mouths to avoid it right now. However, there were numerous silent expressions of emotion, from those whose faces turned white to those who showed outright hostility at his remarks, but no one could refute him. Ironically, Jegyu was the only one who had received all sorts of cold treatment and contempt for being a troublemaker in the GM Group that brought about an overwhelmingly positive performance in this conference room. President, think about it. I couldn''t even attend this meeting of the presidents, but how sessful and enormously profitable my GM''s upper management'' is. And how much the so-called bosses sitting in this conference room were against investing in my upper management. several months ago. A n promoted by the upper management of GM by investing tens of billions of astronomical funds. Regarding the decision to invest 50 billion won at the time, I was very aware of how negatively people who were close to Chairman Choi Chun-shik were talking about and sabotaging Chairman Choi Chun-shik, so Je-gyu''s eyes looking at this ipetent president seemed cold. There was no way. Kheuheum..... At that time, we objected because the aggravation of public opinion was too serious... Really? Do you remember when I said the other day that it didn''t make sense to spend that much money on just a game? ..... As if it was time for revenge, Jae-gyu was excitedly beating the bosses who were ignoring him. However, as if he didn''t like his behavior, one of them said with a frown. Hey Jaekyu Choi. Do it in moderation. Choi Min-sik, the eldest son of Chairman Choi Chun-sik and president of GM Construction, who is mentioned as the likely sessor to the GM Group. He spoke with tant hostility as if he didn''t like the man whose position had risen to the level of threatening him in an instant. What am I? Stop talking to me. Do you not know what ce this is now? An official meeting of GM Group presidents. That''s why it meant to keep basic courtesy, but it was a word that he brought out to check the regtions that were trying to hit the bosses who were friendly forces. However, as if that had be a catalyst, he turned the arrow of the attack with a twitching face. Oh right. GM Construction seems to be in a bad mood these days. Are you worried that if you wrote a memorandum, the next quarter will be destroyed and be a new one? ...This bastard is really..... Hey, isn''t he doing it properly? Jaegyu stimtes himself with a genuine smile. However, Min-sik couldn''t stand the provocation and jumped up from his seat with his eyes raised. The atmosphere is like a fist fight right now. However, such a thing did not happen due to Chairman Choi Chun-shik''s roaring voice. What are you doing right now! Quaang. Chairman Choi Chun-shik ms the desk and bes indignant. Min-sik, stinging at his shouting, bowed his head at the reprimand that poured out. You bastard, what insolence are you doing in front of me right now! To think that a guy called the boss would run so excited about a word like that. And what kind of business operation is business operation! Im sorry, Chairman. And did Jaegyu say something wrong? Do you think I don''t know how many people here poured out all kinds of curse words and curses at me when he said he was doing that virtual reality? But how are your grades now? Jaegyu, how much was it earlier? It was one-off, but the profit made with the 50 billion won supported at that time was 600 billion won. Currently, we are expanding the size of the top by aggressively investing with the funds, and our goal is to achieve 1 trillion won in total sales and 700 billion won in operating profit by the end of the year. The upper half of Jekyu, who started the business less than half a year ago. Although thepany''s image was destroyed due to the recent crisis, it was showing phenomenal performance and expanding its business on a tremendous scale, so Chairman Choi Chun-sik was also passed over by a small ident. group 1. You guys are aiming for 700 billion in operating profit alone with 1 trillion in sales in the game that you guys dismissed as just a game and ignored! 700 billion! Do you still not understand how ridiculous this is when you think of the money you guys are ripping off rather than building factories or developing technology? Virtual Reality Arcadia. Except for the cost of the capsules required for ess and thebor cost of the gamers hired, almost no funds were invested, but the upper end of the regtion created an enormous operating profit. It was a cash cow that pulled out a huge amount of cash and a duck thatid golden eggs. So keep your head straight and innovate to somehow create a new path for ourpany. If youe and push me next quarter with the same results as now, I will p you myself, regardless of who you are. That''s how the meeting of the CEOs of GM Group came to an end. Lastly, Chairman Choi Chun-sik growled and proimed a harsh warning with sincerity. * * * After the meeting, Jekyu returned to the office. As he sat down at his desk, the assistant secretary lowered his head and said, You worked hard, young master. Puhaha... Puhahhahahaha. Jae-gyu silently recalled what had happened in the conference room. When he thought of Min-sik, who had left his seat in tears, he couldn''t help but burst intoughter. You look in good spirits. Haa... This is better than I thought. To the point where I wanted to record how exhrating it was to see the bosses and my older brother at a loss, not knowing what to do with their poop-chewed faces? Those who always openly ignored themselves. However, Jae-gyu, who had a splendid revival through the top of GM, was now in a powerful position that no one dared to help. There is no problem with the ns that were being pursued...? That''s right. Everything is running smoothly. Jegyu smiles at the words of the assistant secretary. It was a goal he had almost given up on in desperation before, but now a new hope was sprouting in his heart little by little. If I really make 1 trillion won in sales by the next quarter... even my father would approve of it.'' The Korean conglomerate GM Group. That is to say, his brother Min-sik is not the only one who will im the throne as the chairman of a giant corporation epassing dozens of subsidiaries. Just like that, while Jaegyu was fully operating the happiness circuit in his head, someone suddenly opened the door in a mor and appeared. Sah boss! It''s a big deal!! what? I don''t remember the name, but the employee who was the general manager of the marketing side. He said with a pale face. That.... A new video has been uploaded to the daily life of the destroyer. what....? Destroyer''s routine. A video channel that exposed the grain purchase n secretly pursued by GM''s upper management group in the past. At the words of the staff who mentioned the ce, Jegyu jumped up from his seat and asked. what? Could it be another video rted to us? Looking at his reaction, Jegyu asked with an uneasy mind. At his question, the employee nodded and said with a serious face. First of all... I think you should see it for yourself. At those words, Jegyu hurriedly connects to Arpendia viaputer. And he checked the contents of the video and muttered in a cold sweat. Fuck..... It seems like its been less than a few hours since the video was uploaded, but the number of views has already exceeded 10 million. The video was tempting viewers with a very provocative name. [Ah... I can''t stand this lol.] The title has absolutely nothing to do with the content. However, even at the moment when I blinked my eyes while drawing a strong aggro with a title that anyone could not stand without clicking, the number of views was rising by tens of thousands. Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Tyranny of Big Business (6) Arcadia yers ess Arpandia ten times a day. Jaeyoung''s video uploaded to that huge and actively operatedmunity almost certainly went up on the main page and began to be exposed to everyone. [Ah... I can''t stand this haha.] A stimting title just to attract people''s attention without knowing the content. However, the effect was much stronger than expected. -lol. This is not really tuna''. - No, how can you stand it when you see this title hahaha. -The owner knows how to pull aggro. You seem to have done it many times before. Even if it''s not just the title, it''s definitely Jaeyoung''s channel that brings huge issues. People were so aware of the value of the videos he had uploaded so far that the number of views of the videos was growing exponentially in the blink of an eye. [Really... I''ve heard that evenrge corporations can be petty and vicious, but it''s really no joke.] A video that starts withmentation from Apple, which runs the top of the small and medium-sizedpanies. And in it, he was thoroughly and tenaciously bringing out the ugly and dark side of the top of GM, argepany. [Seeing that they are using the upper ranks, they must be beggars who would waste even 1 gold. They use it for cheap taste and get sick of it.] [Since I live like that, I don''t think I y badly in games, right?] The dangerous desert Shrim. From exclusively absorbing essential manpower to cross there, forcing expensive tickets, and ridiculing remarks about small and medium-sized top yers and users who use them. [Hey, it seems like the items we sell are ovepping these days. Did you say the top of the pie...? If next time you bring something simr to ourpany''s, be prepared to drop the market price.] [ Hey, hand over the ordering request yourpany received to us. On such a bizarre scale, I wouldn''t be able to digest it properly anyway. Well.... If you don''t pass it, you can imagine what''s next.] Even the appearance of those who do not tolerate the upper ranks invading their territory with all kinds of threats and threats, and do all sorts of sabotage operations forward and backward. This video, which contained the evidence sent by Apple and some people he knew, was the perfect firewood to buy public outrage. -What are these bastards really like? -Somehow, I thought the ticket price was too high, but was it because of these fuckers? -Are you at GM again? Anyway, the bigpanies are all over the ce..... -Isn''t this supposed to be publicized? Users who had to pay a burdensome amount for the journey to the Dwarf Vige. I vomited my dissatisfaction with GM, which I had not expressed in words until now, but the video wasn''t all. [Hey, you fucking bastards. What if GM is a bigpany? If you trample on me like this, do you think we can stay still? Just touch a single hair tip! I''m going to spread it all over the Inte.] Apple screaming in anger. And the unidentified assants whough at him and approach him. [Ha GM top? We are just a bunch of bandits, so what are you talking about?] [Don''t talk nonsense! Do you think we wouldn''t know that it was pulled off like that? Who else but you...] [Isn''t that a dangerous statement? If you get sued for mentioning argepany like GM without clear physical evidence, then it would be really difficult. However, there was someone who appeared with a huge hammer in front of them. [Now.... The hammer is out, you bastards.] [Kwaang.] A small pie troupe that goes to and from the desert. People were shocked to see the nicknames disyed above the heads of bandits who attacked them and those who single-handedly defeated them. [Lone Crusader Dex] - Dex??? in real? -It''s Dex! Dex! -what? Why is my brother here!!!! The sudden appearance of Dex. People were excited about the appearance of apletely unexpected character. And even after watching the video that ended with Dex administering justice to them with a hammer, they started to debate in thements for a long time. -I don''t have any confirmation on this, but you think the attack on the top of the pie is right for the top of GM? -lol. Isn''t that obvious? In a world of swords and magic, eliminating rivals is essential. - Argepany is argepany, so what''s the problem? ^^ - No, but this is a bit over the line. Don''t you know that bigpanies are moderately coexisting? Users who have learned through past history how great the side effectse from monopolizing the interests of one force in the game. They began to react sensitively to the behavior of a huge organization called GM, which upies one axis of the Korean economy, rather than a crude organization like the guild in the game, trying to take over the world of Arcadia. - I have to do it in moderation. There is nothing to omit in reality, so are you thinking about what to omit in the game? -The other day, he tried to make money by causing a war, but he keeps ying dirty. -What is the gamepany doing? Are you just watching otherpanies messing with the game like this? Jaeyoung''s channel, which brought a lot of issues and was often snooped on by journalists. When the video was uploaded and users'' public sentiment began to boil, reporters with the scoop called a rice cake all scrambled to publish rted facts. - The tyranny ofrge corporations even in games. What about their ugly barbarism? -They were really devils'' A shocking interview with a victim of power abuse. -The GM Group, apany that abandoned morals for money and desire. Articles that go up with provocative titles created by those who havepleted the title academy. As soon as these started to decorate the main page of the portal site, Jaegyu''s poop line literally started to burn. Kwaaang. What is this! What the hell! Choi Je-gyu, the general manager of the GM group and the youngest son of Choi Chun-sik, the chairman of the GM Group. He could note to his senses as he watched what was happening in real time right in front of his eyes. And the attendant secretary was also busy making phone calls here and there to deal with the situation, but herplexion turned pale as if it was not enough. How is it? They say they cant upload the video.... If you want to go to court, you can do as you please. First of all, it is an urgent situation to download video data. So I contacted Iplus first and asked for it, but the answer was as expected. puddeudeuk. Jegyu gritted his teeth so strongly that he was worried that his teeth might break. He trembled and shouted. Those bastards! Those guys who lived while receiving their sry from us are eating taffy like this because they left thepany badly? Do you think I''ll just sit there and watch this? Eye Plus was created by those who worked in the PR team of the GM Group. Perhaps it was because they were driven out for bad things, but they were always against each other, so they were a thorn in the eyes of Jekyu. First of all... the facts have not been ascertained and the evidence is ambiguous, so I think we will have to deny this case by saying that we have nothing to do with it. A situation that cannot be rectified with no response or noment. Right now, the PR team was flooded with calls from reporters asking for interviews and inquiries, so at the words of the assistant secretary, Jaegyu nodded and said, Isnt it true that there is no solid evidence regarding this? I am sure. Even if rted evidence emerges, the story has already ended with the people involved, so it will end as an individual act independently out of greed and has nothing to do with GM. However... I think I will have to ept the loss of the top image and the damage caused by it. The atrocitiesmitted by the employees of GM to monopolize and dominate trade with the Dwarves. Jaegyu knew more about these atrocities than anyone else and was the one who gave direct orders, but his face showed no guilt. I just tap on the calctor while thinking about the damage that happened because of this incident. Then do it. GM''s upper management group never gave such an order and never did anything like that. Regarding the matters mentioned in the video, it is only an individual''s im, and an internal investigation is underway to find out the facts about the rted content. After talking about just this much, if it turns out that he was an employee at the top of GM, then you can talk about it to the extent that it was an independent and personal act and apologize. All right. A really clichd, but nheless most effective way in such a situation is cutting the tail. Originally, the superiors did not know every single detail about the voluntary actions of the subordinates, so Jaegyu knew. The fact that the now-controversial video could have damaged the image of GM, but it could not deal a fatal blow to them. Anyway, among the users, we are the only upper guild that can stably interact with the Dwarves. The NPCs who run therge merchant troupe are gradually stepping in, so it was difficult to operate the bus as a monopoly anyway. The physiology of consumers who forget any evil after time and just use it for good. Since he was very familiar with Korea''s unique pot temperament, when he came up with a n for the future, he even showed hisposure, sat down in a chair, and spoke to his assistant. Anyway, I just need to throw some feed to the users who are like pigs and dogs. ..... If his remarks leaked out somewhere, it would not be strange even if a t wind broke out. Although the conversation took ce inside the top-floor office with strict security in a building owned by the GM Group, Jae-gyu''s assistant still trembled with anxiety wriggling in his heart. All right. Then we''ll do that... Quaang. It was a big deal! Another employee hurriedly opens the door and appears before he can finish his words. Seeing the unexpected appearance of an uninvited guest, Jegyu frowned and asked. Ah... what else? Jegyu, whose voice is filled with annoyance and annoyance, seems to have gained someposure. However, the employee shouted with a really urgent face, as if he couldn''t afford to pay attention to his open eyes. The dwarves are suddenly moving like crazy! What the hell are you talking about...? Jegyu looked at the employee with a puzzled look at the word that the dwarves were strange and asked. His face was stained with astonishment at the employee''s next words. The chieftain of the dwarves... has urged the GM corps and all guilds dealing with them to get rid of them right now before cutting them down with an axe! They told me not to think about doing business with them in the future.... Now all the items we ordered from us have been refused to be epted, so we can''t even sell the items and the merchants are all running! What what...? Severing trade with the Dwarves. Hearing that the dwarf chief Altair hade out and bluffed him, Jegyu stood there nkly for a long time with a look of disbelief on his face, then stammered and asked, No... why all of a sudden? There''s something wrong with the dwarves, such nonsense...! The boss needs to log in right now. The situation in the game is very serious! The damage and loss is huge because the users are openly terrorizing! terror? Suddenly, what kind of terror? The words of the staff pouring urgently. At that moment, Jaegyu realized. How this situation, which I thought it was no big deal just now, is growing out of control into a huge problem. Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Tyranny of Big Corporations (7) Not even a few hours have passed since the video was uploaded. However, strange things were happening in Shurim in the game. Warrior shout! Fire Explosion! Stomp! Provocation! From those who look like middle school students to grown-up adults. Actions that began to appear simultaneously as if they had made a promise. It was an indiscriminate terror targeting the top group of GM without asking or questioning. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg Kwaaang. Quaang. Users who followed me quietly to the middle of the desert and then suddenly changed their attitude and fired all kinds of loud and shy skills into the air. And the scorpions hiding in the sand deep in the desert greeted their action by roaring and splendidly appearing. Here are two more scorpions! You... you crazy bastards! Why are you doing this to us! The upper tier, loaded with valuable items. A merchant at the top of GM screamed in anger at the users who summoned the scorpions in a situation where they were most vulnerable and needed to be careful. However, despite his screams, the reaction of the users whomitted the terror was cold. The badpany needs to be punished. that''s right. Evenrge corporations use it in games. We have topete fairly. no. If you''re a mage, use vibration skills like shockwave. Thats what scorpions are attracted to. uh? Really? Thanks for the tip. What? Then now the scorpions areing and they run away. yes. I know the path, so please follow me. Then work hard, you guys from bigpanies~ As if they had already nned it in advance, they naturally checked the escape route and ran out. However, GM couldn''t catch them running away. Because the priority was to protect the trade goods from the scorpions rushing to destroy the upper tier with a lot of salivation. All it did was pour an evil curse on them. Keugh... you damn bastards! Things that happen simultaneously in dozens of GM merchant parades across the desert. And Jaegyu couldn''t keep his mouth shut as he received a report on the damage caused by these users'' terror. 60% of the upper ranks in charge of dealing with the dwarves were wiped out...? Knowing the value of the equipment created by the Dwarves, Jegyu judged that the initial seizure was more important than anything else. He knew very well how enormous the damage would be, as he was controlling the trade with the Dwarves by investing the maximum capacity of the GM Merchant Merchant. I tried to keep the goods as much as possible and reduce the amount of damage, but... I was annihted by the desert scorpions, and after estimating all the lost trade goods and incidental costs, I suffered a loss of about 2 million gold. 2 million gold. A loss of 200 billion won in Korean currency. The damage was as if one of the pir roots at the top of the GM had beenpletely pulled out. But the current situation did not end there. And... I met the Dwarf chief in person and found out why he is currently refusing to do business with GM... Did you find out? what? That''s... they don''t do business with greedy piglets... The dwarf race, artificial intelligence and NPCs. If Arcadia was a normal game, the evil deeds of GM''s top would have been nothing to those who moved and acted ording to the algorithm, but it was different in virtual reality Arcadia. Anyway, as in the past, greedy people who don''t even know the morals like that still exist today. Do you know how much trouble our Dwarf n suffered in the past because of pig-like bastards who, like you, were greedy for the things we made? If you don''t want to break your head, get out of here right now! Advanced artificial intelligence with unique history and characteristics for each race, value judgment, moral consciousness, and self-consciousness. That''s why they refused the deal, showing open hostility to the atrocities of GM''s upper house. Of course, there was another reason that was the most decisive, but Jaegyu didn''t know that fact and muttered something with a face of disbelief. Does that make sense...? What kind of game AI refuses to trade for that reason? I couldn''t believe their reaction at first either... but as of now, trade with the dwarves ispletely blocked. A secondary boycott that imposes sanctions even on tops that do business with GM. Perhaps because of the sanctions, which were filled with the will to beat them properly, the damage was exponentially increasing as more and morepanies canceled the deal with the GMpany, but that was not all. Whoops. An iing call vibrating loudly. Jegyu''s face was contemtive as he nced at the phone and identified the caller disyed on the screen. [Father] Choi Chun-sik, his father and chairman of the GM Group. As he, who doesn''t usually make a phone call first, kept calling until he answered like this, Jegyu intuitively sensed what purpose he was calling and answered the call with determination. Yes, honey..... [Hey you bastard! What the hell did he do again!] Chairman Choi Chun-sik''s lion''s roar resounds as if deafening as soon as he answers the phone. Jegyu asked, feeling quite embarrassed as he felt that he had hit it right even if he heard it right. Ah, Father, why are you suddenly like this...? Chairman Choi Chun-shik has no way of knowing what is going on in the game. Although he was being bitten by the media again, there was no reason to be this furious because he was the one who was ready to win in this situation. [Why am I like that? Is it because you don''t know what''s on TV right now? Are you determined to ruin the whole group right now? I thought this bastard was doing well on his own these days, so I left it alone, and he had such a major ident!] Father... No, the president of the meeting. Calm down for a moment and what the hell is that about... The assistant secretary hurriedly turned on the TV and flipped the channels at Chairman Choi Chun-sik''s shout that resonated over the receiver. He opened his mouth with a stunned face when he saw a press conference being announced as breaking news. What the fuck..... An emergency press conference is taking ce on the other side of the TV screen. It was about the tax investigation targeting GM Group. [It has been confirmed that GM Group''s huge amount of money has flowed into Arcadia'', a virtual reality game that has recently gained great poprity around the world, and that these funds have been used to earn gold'' in the game. The National Tax Service has determined that there is a high possibility that these goods will be converted into Korean currency or dors and used for crimes rted to slush fund creation or tax evasion. Through this investigation, the National Tax Service will thoroughly check and verify whether there are any vitions and tax evasion. Therefore...] Jegyu muttered with a dejected expression as he watched the breaking news that followed the scene of the IRS employees destroying the GM Group headquarters. This crazy... Jaegyu realized that he had been fucked. But he never knew. Why did power abuse in the game, which could be dismissed as trivial or unavoidable, turn into such a huge incident and shake the world? * * * At that time when GM''s upper management group was going through all sorts of hardships. Jae-young, the starting point of all these incidents, was resting in a wagon that was moving somewhere peacefully with an ignorant face. However, Tan, who had been quiet for a while with a nk expression, suddenly smiled and said, as if having fun. Hey, master. It looks like you''ve made a lot of noise again? what? No, those people the owner hated because they couldnt start. A GM top? Yeah, I dont know exactly, but the owner seems to have caused a stir anyway? What are these imps talking about? Tan starts talking to him with twinkling eyes as to what he heard from somewhere in the demon realm. To his words, Jaeyoung replied with a sour expression. ...Do you even know the story of the demonic imps who cling to me all the time? No, more than that, are the imps talking about things like that? An imp that is a low-level demon and asionally appears in ces such as dark back alleys. They were the mostmon species of demons in Arcadia, and were also textbook summons for novice ck magicians. To Tan, who is in the position of the ruler of the demon realm called the Demon King, they are humble and insignificant beings. The fact that Tan was listening to their stories was absurd to Jaeyoung, but Tan''s eyes were more serious than ever. Master... you didn''t know? You dont know what...? Jaeyoung asked what he was talking about, tilting his head. Tan showed him a gloomy piece of paper that he sometimes took out and scribbled on. These days, they are teaching the masters daily life with educational materials, arent they? However, there are a lot of demons who like their masters, saying they like the vicious and evil way that I couldn''t imagine. You''d be shocked to learn how much the imps especially love their masters. They admired and supported me almost next to me? ..... Jae-young, who has be a superstar among demons without even knowing it. Jaeyoung, at a loss for words at Tan''s words, put on an absurd expression, but he asked with a quiet anticipation. Are you really serious abouting to Pandemonium and having a lecture with the kids? I also thought of the title of the lecture. How to fuck humans directly told by humans''. Big.... Don''t you think it would be cool just imagining it? If he really epts it, he will open the dimensional door to the realm of hell right now and give Jae-young a lecture on evil in front of fierce demons in a ce infested with hellfire and sulfur. In response to his active offensive, Jaeyoung spoke with sincerity. no. why! You keep calling me evil, but Ive lived a kind life. What kind of demons are you talking about? As a petit bourgeois who has lived an ordinary life without causing harm to others, Jae-young said bluntly, contemting whether to be angry or happy for Tans words that kept praising him for being the model of demons. And at those words, Tan licked his lips and murmured, as if regretting it. ...Of all the humans I''ve ever seen, the owner is the most evil... Jirit. However, at Jae-young''s eyes, Tan covers his mouth with both hands. And L, who had been listening to the story quietly, flew like a shotgun and hit Tan''s head. Why do you keep yelling at my contractor, you ugly bat! pug. Kueek! Tan, who had been caught off guard and took a proper blow, flew into the carriage with a grotesque scream and crashed into the wall at El''s blow containing anger. I forgot, but I am here now as a guardian angel. That''s my mission, to stop seduced bastard bats like you into going down a strange path. understand? L growling with a more sensitive reaction than ever before. Seeing her genuinely angry reaction, he couldn''t even run into her fury and kept looking at her. Lets go to the Pandemonium in front of me one more time, and all you have to do is gossip about doing weird things with demons. I''m going to take Muspelheim myself and burn down all of your nests with a torch. Her savage threats with sincerity. Tan and Jaeyoung didn''t respond because they knew very well that those words weren''t just a joke or a threat, and that she would be able to take real action. less so less so Just as he was listening to the angel''s threat, which seemed to be more violent (?) than the devil, the wagon Jae-young was riding stopped. And soon the old coachman who was pulling the wagon pulled up the tent and looked at Jaeyoung and said. Look, you have arrived at the ce you spoke of earlier. From now on, I will go in a different direction, so this is all I can take you. The two forked roads unfolded in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes after getting off the wagon. Listening to the old man point his finger at one of them and exin the way, Jaeyoung took out some gold coins from his pocket and handed them to him. Thank you... and be careful. I don''t know why, but the city you''re going to is the most dangerous and brutal ce on this continent. After that, the old man hurriedly drives the wagon in a different direction than Jae-young''s. As if he wanted to leave the ce as soon as possible, he hurried the carriage and left quickly. And Jaeyoung looked at his back, then turned and walked away with a strange smile. Then shall we go too? Jaeyoung looks at Tan and L and moves with a strange smile. So he arrived. Awless zone of criminals infested with crime and pirates. One of the five forbidden areas selected by users. to the Caribbean. Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Caribbean (1) Caribbean. A city of criminals and a bridgehead to pirate-infested waters, this ce was very infamous among users. - If you really think that you are at the bottom of your life, go to Caribbean. It''s a real opening. -Don''t trust anyone here because there''s only a swindler or a thief who eats his back. - Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I received the item delivery quest and brought it to you, but it died. is this a game? -?? why did you die - One of the organizationspeting with each other gave me a quest with every member of the other organization and sent it instead; -Wow..... Rho? Is this a crazy town? A city where dozens of people are killed on the streets every day due to war between cartels and gangs. The first thing that weed Jae-young, who arrived at a ce like Sodom and Gomorrah where only the worst of the worst of human beings are gathered, was a warning message. [You have entered the city of criminals, the Caribbean.] [This is an area that is not protected by the Continental Law.] [Beware of threats lurking in the city.] Unlike other ces, there are no NPCs for security such as guards. A city full of unknown fugitives and criminals. A ce where there are nows and regtions, only strength and survival matter. This was truly a world of survival of the fittest. Ummm... It smells awful. of course. All the people living in this area are evil, and this is a ce where only such people live. As far as I know, every soul who died here wille over to us? Perhaps because it is a city full of criminals, Caribbean''s basic urban functions were not functioning properly. A city that takes the form of a slum full of filth and the smell of a gutter. Jaeyoung frowned and was walking down an alley when a stone suddenly fell in front of him. Took. ...? Jaeyoung inadvertently looked back in the direction the stone flew. Jaeyoung turned his head and saw a child with his head sticking out against the wall, hurriedly waving his hands. mister! It''s dangerous to go like that! Come over here and hide! A young boy who looks a little over 10 years old just by looking at him. He looked around the extension with a very frightened face and beckoned Jaeyoung toe here quickly. Jaeyoung pondered for a moment while watching it. However, he had no choice but to run hastily in the direction the child beckoned at the sound of chattering from the alley right in front of him. Ha ha ha ha! If you do this well, you can sort everything out, right? Hey, if you get loot from this raid, don''t forget to pay back the money you borrowed from me. Ai...... who told you not to worry? As soon as Jaeyoung hid himself, a group of bullies appeared, looking fierce at first nce. The child, who had been holding her breath with nervous eyes until they passed the alley, let out a deep sigh of relief long after they had passed. Whew..... Fortunately, it didn''t get caught. For what? Jae-young couldn''t understand the child''s behavior. At his question, the child frowned and said. mister! Do you know what you just did? You could have been in big trouble! Jaeyoung tilts his head with an expression that he cannot understand. At his reaction, the child sighed deeply and exined the situation that had just urred. So... in this city, there is a war between criminal organizations and fierce power struggles, and if someone who is not a member of the organization wanders around in each district, he is mistaken for an spy sent by another organization and is immediately killed... This hey? Yes! That''s not the problem, but if I was caught here, I and the people in this alley were all considered the opponent''s puppets, so I didn''t know what would happen to me! Why don''t you know these basic things? Are you a foreigner? Hans, a 10-year-old boy who is frustrated even though he exins as if he is saying a very obvious fact. In response to his question, Jaeyoung nodded and said yes. that''s right. I didn''t know because I had just arrived in this city. I''m sorry if I caused any damage. Eh...? Are you really from outside? Hans opens his eyes wide at the word that he hase from outside and asks various things. After answering the questions one by one, Hans smiled and asked in a friendly manner, as if he hadpletely forgotten the dangerous situation from before, with his eyes sparkling with curiosity. wow! amazing! I was born here and have never left! That''s really cool. Hans at a young age full of dreams. However, since he had never left the Caribbean, which was filled with the smell of gutter and all kinds of stench, the stories of the outside world that Jae-young told were like fairy tales that existed in fantasy. By the way... why the hell did youe here? It''s dangerous in normal times, but it''s especially dangerous right now? A power struggle between criminal organizations currently taking ce in the Caribbean. In particr, it was a time when the conflict between the huge forces Red Beard'' and ck Pirates'' was intensifying, so there was no one in the Caribbean who would wee the appearance of an outsider. I came here to cross the sea. yes....? The Caribbean, a city of criminals and a realm of pirates. An atrociouswless zone where there is a popr belief that no merchant ship or fleet to wipe out pirates escaped safely. However, there was a different reason why Jaeyoung chose this ce. [Mission. 5] A request from the World Tree to bring the dragon''s heart. But targeting Goldrian, the guardian of Arcadia and the leader of the mighty dragons, would be too daunting, right? Do not worry! It is said that dragons live somewhere on other continents. The world tree doesn''t care which continent the owner of the heart is from, so let''s go find it. -Discover the other continents of Arcadia. < The contents of the mission may change depending on the yer''s actions. > The fourth mission was finallypleted when the peace agreement between the elves and the dwarves was concluded and the pie tops secured the trade route between the two races. However, as soon as it was over, the newly renewed mission made Jae-young head to the Caribbean as if he had waited. Another continent? Um... Realistically, it would be impossible for the owner to go, right? Well... Wait a minute, I''ll have to check this out too. The Great War that took ce in the very long past. As a result, the world tree fell asleep and the continents were separated and scattered. A long time passed and no one even remembered that history, so Tan and L also couldn''t give an answer to Jae-young''s question with a troubled face. After such a long time passed, Tan gave me a clue. Im not sure who the owner is, but a devil is a Caribbean? You want to go there? Caribbean...? Arent there five major forbidden areas? I dont know. Even the devil didn''t seem to understand that he had heard the story when he was summoned a couple of decades ago. Go check it out for yourself. Tan draws a line and shakes his hand, saying that it is not certain information. However, Jae-young, who had already searched the Inte and Arpandia diligently, confirmed that there was no known way to cross over to another continent and no one had attempted a journey to another continent, so he had no other option. I could feel it instinctively. If you look at Shurim and Amil, it seems that there is something in the Caribbean...'' 5 prohibited areas selected by users and officially recognized by Arcadia. However, as the hidden cities of dwarves and elves were discovered in those two ces, Jaeyoung was convinced. These five forbidden ces are ces where the developers deliberately set the level of extreme difficulty so that users do not carelessly stimte triggers that should not be touched yet. And Jaeyoung''s prediction was right on target. Are you crossing the sea? Hans raised his eyes in surprise and asked back. He asked with a confused look on his face, as if he couldn''t understand. Why on earth are you trying to cross that dangerous ce? In the first ce, it is close to impossible to escape safely from the infested pirates, but even if you enter the endless sea, you will only die from the attacks of the deep sea monsters! Although there is no maritime trade or movement using ships, Arcadia has activend movement. That''s why, to Hans, Jaeyoung''s action to cross the dangerous sea was nothing short of absurd. It''s for personal reasons, so I can''t tell you in detail... Anyway, is it possible? At those words, Hans murmured while seriously contemting something. However, he shook his head with a dark face and said. Sorry, but that is absolutely impossible. There is one person who crossed the sea and entered the endless sea and came back alive, but that person would not speak to anyone unless he was of the same level as himself. Hans said that there were people who crossed the sea and were resurrected. At those words, Jaeyoung asked with her eyes shining. what? Who is that? Dont you know? Pirate King Carlos! He is the founder of the ck Pirates and a legendary figure whopletely dominated the waters of the Caribbean. He is a criminal who has gained great notoriety throughout the continent beyond the Caribbean... Hans looks at Jae-young, who ispletely unaware of it. But Jaeyoung wasn''t listening to him. Pirate King.....'' Words full of smell that lead to a chain quest even if you hear it. Jaeyoung, who had a rough idea of how to cross the continent from Hans words, jumped up from his seat and asked. Where can I meet that Carlos? yes....? Are you meeting me? Hans put on an expression of absurdity at those words. He looked at Jaeyoung and started exining again hesitatingly as if he was frustrated. No, you just told me. Carlos is imprisoned somewhere in a dungeon after being defeated by the allied organizations after failing to subdue the rebellion that took ce a few years ago? Right now, even if I want to meet you, I cant. Carlos, the Pirate King, who had a mighty power as the undisputed ruler of the Caribbean. However, like other pirates, he dominated other forces with strong power-based suppression and oppression, so he was imprisoned as a prisoner because he could not suppress the coup d''tat caused by the reaction against him. Besides, no matter how he gets to the prison where he is imprisoned, he will not meet anyone unless he is of his own ss! How notorious was he for not treating other pirate captains as human beings if they were not in the right ranks? Even if you meet Carlos right now, it''s probably a relief if you don''t get treated like an insect. Carlos, the captain of the ck Pirates, who once dominated the Caribbean and terrorized merchant ships passing through the entire sea and nearby areas. It was hard to find a criminal even here in the Caribbean that could match the huge notoriety he had umted so far, so the number of criminals on an equal footing with him could be counted on one hand. At first nce, you seem like a naive man who couldn''t have killed a single person, but it would be better if you don''t work too hard on the impossible and leave this ce right now... [Equipped with the title Novice Killer''. ] She didn''t say anything at Hans'' nagging and wore the title she hadn''t worn before. And at that moment, the mouth of Hans, who had been talking nonstop, closed for the first time. Uh, how... Hans looked at Jaeyoung standing in front of him with a look of terror. The presence that had seemed naive and intimate until just now feltpletely different. The smell of blood that pierces your nose. It feels like I''ve killed countless people with blood on my hands. And not just killing people, but madness that can only be felt from lunatic killers who enjoy such ughter. Hans groaned as he felt the intimidation he felt from Jae-young, one of the most notorious crime masters in the Caribbean. And at the moment when Hans felt a fright, the existence that gave him a sense of fear was looking at Hans with eyes mixed with anticipation and asking. how is it? Wouldnt this be enough to meet you casually? Jae-young, who ughtered more than 30,000 novices. The criminal history he has umted so far was a gigantic and vicious feat that no heinous criminal in the Caribbean dared to show his name. Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Caribbean (2) The Fallen Pirate King Carlos. He was once an absolute ruler who ruled the Caribbean and a rare criminal who terrorized the continent. The downfall of Carlos, who had a powerful pirate fleet, overwhelming power, and enormous wealth, was due to the betrayal of his right-hand man, Sparrow. Kuuuuu... Sparrow! How... how could you do this to me! How long did you think you could sit on that throne and act like an absolute? Captain, now the time hase for this Caribbean to greet a new era. Carlos, who reigned in the Caribbean as the Pirate King for over ten years. Sparrow, who was always looking out for his position, did not miss the opportunity that came one day. He helps me be the leader of the ck Pirates. The only condition is that half of the control of the Caribbean be handed over to us. Although smaller in scalepared to the ck Pirates, the Red Beard with their leader, Able, who seduced countless criminals in the Caribbean with their incredibly alluring beauty and powerful weapons. One day in the middle of the night, Sparrow fell for the sweet story she whispered to her, and a surprise coup began as a result. Carlos fought fiercely, but was unable to ovee the overwhelming numerical difference and was eventually captured by them. Keuhehehe... that is foolish. Stupid Sparrow. Do you really think that two organizations can rule the Caribbean peacefully under the same sky? Carlos did not lose the spirit of an overwhelming ruler until the moment he was dragged into an unknown dungeon. He spoke in a terrifyingly confident voice. You will die miserably crawling on the street because of them before long. And the prophecy he left came true. Anyway... after that rebellion, the power of the Caribbean was divided into two. Factions that have sworn allegiance to the ck Pirates and factions that follow the Redbeard sh dozens of times a day, staining the streets with blood. Carlos, who ruled the Caribbean with overwhelming power and absolute charisma. When he disappeared, a group of wildcats to upy the vacant seat of power in the Caribbean raised their heads and began to look for opportunities, and great confusion came to this ce. Ahh... the old days were really good. I knew that everyone was a criminal and made a living by doing bad things, but at that time, there was loyalty and there were rules only for criminals, so it was peaceful in its own way... Now, it''s a threatening atmosphere that won''t be strange if a knifees to the back of the head anytime. Betrayal, cheating, retaliation, instigation... In the Caribbean, which has be a dirty gutter full of all sorts of despicable and sloppy things, Hans muttered with a longing on his face, as if recalling memories of his childhood. Master, didnt you say that kid was 10 years old? Maybe? one. What kind of idiot is talking about a lump of blood that hasnt even dried up on its head? It looks like an old man who has lived through the world,menting while remembering the good times of the past. After seeing it, Tan, who has lived an uncountably long time, looked at him with an expression of absurdity and murmured. However, Jaeyoung looked at Hans and asked, not showing any signs of Tan''s words. So... if its me, there wont be a big problem in meeting Carlos, right? [Beginner Killer Dex] A title obtained by sending green beginners who just started ying the game in the habitat of past slimes to theher road. There were as many as 30,000 beginners who died at his hands and the things that resulted from it, so he answered Jae-young''s question with a nervous face and swallowed his saliva. ....Sure. That''s enough, evenpared to Able-sama... no, Carlos-sama, it''s not inferior at all. Carlos, the pirate king, the role model and idol of criminals. Jae-young feels a huge and vicious bad karma that matches, or perhaps even surpasses, the bad karma he has built while ruling the Caribbean for decades. Hans'' eyes as he looked at him were full of fear, curiosity and awe. Then that part is solved... The other problem is that no one knows where that Carlos is? Yes. And even if you know where he is, it''s practically impossible to talk to him. I don''t know, but it''s probably because the elites closest to the ck Pirates or Red Beard are guarding it 24 hours a day. Even though they are fighting fiercely for power right now, both factions absolutely did not want Carlos, the protagonist of the golden age of the old world, to be released. Hmm... thats right. Hans keeps saying it''s impossible and keeps trying. However, despite his words, Jaeyoung''s face was rxed. As if all of this was not an impossible task for him, but something that could easily be solved if he set his mind to it. Master, what are you worrying about from a while ago? Can''t we just throw it all away? It is a corrupt city overflowing with people worthy of judgment. We need to bring severe justice to thisnd as soon as possible. And Tan and L whispering behind Jaeyoung''s back. At the words of these two angels and demons, Jaeyoung nced at them and said. You guys... are you trying to make things bigger again and try to rip off the probability somehow? flinch. At those words, Tan and L pause for a moment. His expression instantly changed as if he had been exposed, but he shouted shamelessly as if he was sorry. What are you talking about! The owner is so nice! No matter how important probability is, it is not the duty of a guardian angel to lead people on the wrong path. There is no such intention at all. Every time something happens, Tan and L hope to flip the game on a scale beyond what they imagined, and induce it that way. However, Jaeyoung wanted to handle this as quietly as possible. Whatever it is, if I deal with the upper heads... the lower ones will be useful.'' Carlos, the former pirate king who was betrayed and ruined. Jae-young stood up and said, thinking that if he could free the former ruler of the Caribbean and help him take over the city of these criminals again, he would have a lot of useful things to do in the future, if not just this one. You dont have to turn the whole table upside down just because some of the food went bad. The rest alone would be a pretty decent feast. ...What does that mean...? Jaeyoung mumbles iprehensible words. Looking at him, Hans tilted his head and asked, but Jaeyoung eximed with an evil smile. Kangshin. Dig. A huge window filled up in front of my eyes at those words. Examining the avable spirits from the heavens and the demons one by one, he was able to find the most suitable person. [Shadow Assassin Leader Umyeong] This is it. An assassination squad in the shadows that exists only in legends, with no status, affiliation, or reality. The head of a vicious secret society that promises absolute death to those they target, and the legendary being who single-handedly assassinated the emperor of an ancient empire after defeating the entire bodyguard and bodyguard guarding him, has been summoned to Arcadia again. I borrowed Jaeyoung''s body. [The existence of the demon world dwells in the yer''s body.] [The power of the existence that dwells temporarily can be demonstrated.] Pajijik. What is this...? Unprecedented, gigantic power suddenly swirls around the body. Hans, who was startled by the ominous energy and backtracked, could not close his open mouth as he saw the existence in front of him that had changed with apletely different force. eyes turned red. And he disappeared into the shadows as he looked around here and there with jet-ck eyes. It is an amazing skill. To be able to hide and move through the shadows. Jaeyoung moves through the shadows as if experimenting with something. Hans eximed in surprise when he saw Jaeyoung leaping through the shadows behind him. Heh heh! Help me! If he had the intent to kill, it would not have been strange if he died in an instant. However, since Jaeyoung had no intention of doing so, he just looked at Hans with an absurd look and said, ....What is he saying now? Okay, I was wrong. I won''t mess around again! It was wrong to call you uncle, so please forgive me! Hans instinctively smelled the thick smell of blood and death, as if he would take his own life right now. He was seized with a maddening fear and unconsciously banged his head on the floor, begging for forgiveness. [Passive skill Endless Fear of Death is activated.] [Passive skill Madness in the Shadows is activated.] Perhaps because of the influence of the skill possessed by Umyeong, the leader of the Shadow Assassins, the feeling of fear and intimidation is too great for a child to handle. Jaeyoung. So, he muttered a bitter taste and disappeared. Well... Anyway, thank you. If things go wellter, I''lle back to y, so take care of yourself. Hans, who had been begging for his life with his head down for a long time. He lifted his tear-stained face and quietly looked ahead. All he found was a few gold coins lying around. * * * Arcadia, the world''s first virtual reality game. It was thanks to the control of Alice, a near-perfect artificial intelligence system, that this huge game enjoyed by billions of people was supported. Superbputing power that monitors, contemtes, and analyzes everything on the continent of Arcadia, conceives the ripple effect and expected scenarios created by each and every small and trivial action of users, andes up with appropriate countermeasures. Through this, Arcadia seeded in realizing infinite freedom and infinite possibilities that no other game can imitate. [Caribbean. The fallen pirate king, Carlos. Anomaly detected.] [Rted to. yer dex. First of all, analysis level 1.] And she seized a new possibility to trigger a change in the entire continent. [An in-depth analysis of the setting given to Carlos the Pirate King and the rtionship with the yer...] The story of Carlos the Pirate King and the possibilities that can be derived from it. Alice, who was analyzing the influence that Dexra would have on Arcadia, which would be used as a meeting with users, was able to derive the result before long. [Rted Quests [Caribbean City of Criminals] [The Dirty Backstreet Conspiracy] [The Age of Past Glory Carlos] [The Ruined Pirate King] [The Rising Desire of Freedom] [Hope of the Oppressed and Silent]...] Countless quests that should have been preceded to meet Bondi Carlos and the developments that follow. However, seeing Dex''s y, ignoring countless options and running toward a key target, Ellis confirmed that Arcadia''s grand narrative was being distorted again. [Main Scenario Act. 19 mes of Revolution Rising Act. 20 Age of Discovery Act. 25 Pangea.....] Dex''s unstoppable steps to meet Carlos, the fallen pirate king, ignoring all the huge main scenarios that would heat up the entire continent, Ellis enthusiastically operated the arithmetic circuit and came to a conclusion. [Reset the main scenario.....] The narrative needs to start anew ording to his progress. It was not certain yet, but since it showed a high possibility, Alice sent out a new notification to the executives and staff of Arcadia Co., Ltd. [The main scenario has been created.] [Act. 3 New Continent] Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Caribbean (3) Arcadia Co., Ltd. is expanding its business scale explosively by setting up branches all over the world. Branches have already been installed in dozens of countries, providing virtual reality services, and they are busy with ns to provide them, but they are cruising smoothly without any problems. Except for the Korean branch. Vice manager! An emergency meeting has now been called. I think you shoulde back to work soon! Yes, chief. Where are you? yes? Is today your wedding anniversary? Oh, Im the conductor. Contact the employees who left work right now and ask them all toe back to thepany. It''s an emergency. The third main scenario created out of nowhere. Because of the notification that Alice sent to all employees, the employees of the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. had no choice but to return to workte in the evening with a weary body. Haa... Manager Kang, let''s start. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han sighs as if he is all too familiar now and speaks with a tired face. At his words, Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded and started the briefing. First of all... I would like to thank everyone who attended the meeting even at such ate hour. However, as the issue is an issue, I hope you understand that it was an inevitable decision to respond quickly to it. ..... Employees who were spending a happy time with family, lovers, or friends after work. Because they were forcibly summoned back to thepany, all the executives and staff members in the conference room were all sitting with their faces chewing shit and keeping their mouths shut. A chilly, awkward atmosphere that doesn''t seem to understand at all. Sensing such an atmosphere, General Manager Kang Tae-hoon cleared his throat and continued the story. The name of the third main scenario created this time is New Continent. Please note that what I am going to talk about now includes data provided to us by Ellis and must be kept strictly confidential. Alice, the artificial intelligence system that oversees Arcadia. Only executive director Kwon Myung-han and the manager and team leader level in charge of each department knew of her existence, and other than that, it was kept strictly secret. I broke the seal of the report lying there. The Caribbean is the region that was first identified by our Crisis Management Response Team that triggered the creation of this scenario. If its the Caribbean, isnt that an area set up as one of the five major forbidden areas? that''s right. There are many factors that can trigger the main scenario... but what the hell did you touch? A forbidden area set at an extremely extreme level of difficulty to prevent users from entering as much as possible. There, puzzled by the fact that the trigger of the main scenario had been triggered again, he flipped through the report, and after reading what was written in it, he shouted in disbelief with a shocked face. What is this? Director Kang Tae-Hoon, are the contents here true? No...was this possible now? This crazy ..... The meeting room became noisy in an instant. In a situation where the meeting could not proceed any further, the executive director Kwon Myung-han hit the desk with all his might. All quiet! Quaang. Inside the meeting room fell into silence again with a loud noise. However, everyone in the conference room looked at the face of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han with a face that had a lot to say. I know you have a lot to say, but first of all, Manager Kang Tae-hoon is briefing, so calm down and ask questions after the exnation is finished. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han picked up the report again, winking at Manager Kang Tae-hoon to continue the meeting. At his instruction, Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded and opened his mouth again. As for this part, it was information that was confidential and top-secret until now, so we were not aware of it at all, but there was a different reason why the Caribbean was set as one of the five prohibited areas. Until now, the employees knew that it was because of the hidden ss hidden in it and the scenario that would take ce in the war against criminal organizations. But now, the true reason why it was set as forbidden in this meeting room was being revealed. As you all know, Arcadia is divided into 8 continents. The Korean branch is in charge of the second continent. The continents of Arcadia are divided into eight. Since the server does not exist separately, but a single server provides virtual reality services to the whole world, they used a trick. Considering thenguage barrier, countries with simr cultures werebined as much as possible, and the starting point was set differently for each continent to serve. Arcadia is divided into 8 continents and is providing services for each culture. Therefore, the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. naturally understood that exchanges between continents were impossible. Until this very moment. Although this is only possible if all of the extremely demanding and special conditions are met.... Through the information Ellis provided, I was able to confirm that it is possible to move to another continent through this Caribbean. What? A move to another continent...? Employees who have never thought about the idea of moving from one continent to another. They were stunned with expressions of disbelief at Director Kang Tae-hoon''s words. It is an NPC called Pirate King Carlos'' who grants quests rted to continental movement. ording to the given setting, he was betrayed by his subordinates and forcibly pushed out, and once reigned as the absolute ruler of the Caribbean. Carlos with a stern face appears on the screen that fills one corner of the conference room. At the words of Director Kang Tae-hoon, who exined the settings rted to him in detail, someone tilted his head and asked, unable to contain his curiosity. I... Director Kang Tae-hun, I don''t understand what you just said. You mean that the current Caribbean is in a fierce war for supremacy after the pirate king named Carlos was pushed out. That''s right. Then... First of all, in order for this scenario to begin, we must free Carlos from being imprisoned under strict surveince and help him subdue those two powerful criminal organizations so that he can reign supreme in the Caribbean again? you''re right. After that, we have to convince Carlos to help us cross the continent. Yes. Director Kang Tae-hoon nods his head and admits to every question he asks. The employee who questioned his answer asked with a more confused face. No, is that realistically possible now? The Caribbean is teeming with powerful criminals with an average level of 180 or higher. Among them, only the elite gather to rescue Carlos, who is standing on the iron guard, and help himpletely take over the Caribbean. It was clear that it was a main-scenario-ss quest that had to be aplished by spending time and effort not alone, but by a huge number of users. you''re right. And ording to what''s written here... Carlos is set to have the worst affinity unless he has umted at least 100,000 bad karma. Can there be a user who can establish a close rtionship with him right now? A heinous prerequisite for starting a quest only after umting over 100,000 bad karma. If it was this bad business, it would have to be at the level of a rare criminal who gained notoriety throughout the continent, so it was safe to assume that there was no user who could form a meaningful rtionship with him in the current situation. However, in the midst of such skeptical questions, Manager Kang Tae-hun nodded and asked them. Yes. In fact, these are the conditions that make it almost impossible at the moment. But if that was the case, would Alice have created a new main scenario? ..... Alice detects and analyzes an extremely vast and immeasurable amount of information in real time and infers only possible results. There was no way she could have created the main scenario without any causal rtionship. That''s why the expression of the employees hardened at the question of General Manager Kang Tae-hun. Could that be...? No... does that make sense now? All of them made faces in shock at the fact that there was a user who moved to start the scenario that had just been created while meeting all of the formidable conditions. If this scenario opens now... what should we do? The most essential and essential question. However, Kwon Myung-han, the managing director, answered the question instead. I have to wait and see what to do. Infinite Freedom Infinite Possibilities. There was no room for them to intervene in creating a new path by bringing out the hidden potential on their own. First of all, there is a feeling that the timing is too early for this, but... First of all, I will report directly to the boss and check the action. I have a rough idea of what you will say, but for now, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the relevant information and think about possible problems and countermeasures when this scenario opens. Employees who started writing something with their hands busy with those words. And Kwon Myeong-han, managing director, said as if he had suddenly remembered it before getting up from his seat while packing up the report. Oh, and contact other branches to thoroughly check if there are any problems with the business cooperation system. Just in case, if our users go to another continent, we will inform them about the rted matters and there may be matters that we need to cooperate with periodically. After those words, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon leaves the meeting room. Even after he left, for a long time, the staff in the conference room were busy reading the confidential material in front of them and talking about rted content. Without knowing what is going on right now in the Caribbean they are discussing. * * * Somewhere deep underground in the Caribbean, a city of criminals. There was a man lying on the floor like a corpse with his limbs bound with huge, heavy chains. Hey, its Bob. Chunk. A guard announcing mealtime with a dry voice, opening a hole in the barbed wire and throwing a bowl. The bowl he threw contained only unidentified porridge that smelled so bad that it was hard to even call it a meal. ..... The man stared at the bowl of porridge for a while without saying anything. He suddenly picked it up roughly, drank it into his mouth, and began chewing it with a poisonous face. munching. He frowned as if the taste was so lousy that it was hard to swallow. But his eyes were burning intensely with unfathomable anger and vengeance. I, who used to be the pirate king... I can''t die miserably in a ce like this.'' Carlos no longer remembers when he was imprisoned in this narrow and smelly dungeon. It was a hellish time to the extent that ordinary people would already lose their minds and go crazy, but what sustained his spirit was the desire for revenge against those who betrayed him. I will definitely get out of here sometime and chew on the traitors and make them pay for it. Even at the cost of my soul...! Carlos is determined to take bloody revenge on those who have betrayed his trust before he dies no matter what. As he mumbled and growled to himself, he suddenly began to hear an unfamiliar voice. really? Who are you! A solitary confinement where only you are confined. Knowing that there was no one there except the guards outside the cage, Carlos looked around in amazement, but could not sense any presence. what....? Am I going mad now? Carlos mumbles to himself, assuming he has heard nonsense. But he could clearly hear the voiceing again. What are you crazy about? Here it is. At that moment, Carlos inadvertently looked at his feet. And he was able to face it at that moment. Two bloody eyes clearly appeared in the shadow cast by the torchlight. Carlos, smelling the gooey scent of blood, asked with stunned eyes. Who are you? A presence exuding a huge malice that I have never felt before. The two eyes reflected in the shadow spoke to Carlos in a sweet voice. Your own little devil who will grant your wishes. Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Caribbean (4) Pirate King Carlos. Confined to a prison deep underground many years ago, he became a living corpse who could not die. However, even in such desperate moments, he does not lose his will to live and burns with a vengeance every day. Tan, who was watching Carlos'' madness in the shadows, sent him a look full of sympathy and murmured. like....? Are you more useful than you think? Carlos is very weak, but he can feel the absolute authority emanating from his body. Jaeyoung also watched him in his shadow and began to carefully grasp the situation around him. There are only four people in the 200 level who stand guard... The defense is more thorough than I thought.'' The guards guarding the pirate king, Carlos. Confirming that each one was a strong yer in the 200 level, Jaeyoung could feel again how atrocious the difficulty of this quest originally was. Is it right that I made this to break? Originally, what the hell was the quest nned for?'' Rescue Carlos, who had no clue and only the information that he was imprisoned somewhere underground. Even Jae-young, who can freely move around the Caribbean without leaving any traces through the shadows, had to spend a long time just looking for this ce. They said it was dark under themp... What else is Carlos hiding in the basement of their headquarters? I just wasted my time. The ce of exile of Carlos, which was chosen as the most unlikely ce. Because of that, Jae-young, who had been searching all over the Caribbean for a long time, regretted his choice with a sigh when he finally found him. Master, what are you going to do now? Carlos is talking to himself, swearing revenge, and makingments full of second graders. Looking at him with sparkling eyes, Tan asked. What the heck? At those words, Jaeyoung''s two red eyes shine in the shadows. He smiled strangely and muttered in a whisper. I have to cook it well, make it my side, and eat it deliciously. * * * A dungeonpletely cut off from the outside world that no one can enter. Carlos, who had never seen anyone else except for the guard who came into the room for a short time to periodically put rice in and clean up the bins containing all sorts of excrement, was shocked to see a being that suddenly appeared in the shadows. Who are you? Carlos, who reigned as the strongest in the Caribbean. But the smell emanating from the man standing in front of him was so full of danger that even his heart fluttered. [The yer''s bad karma has exceeded the required level.] [The dignity of the passive skill absolute has been neutralized.] [The pride of the passive skill criminal has copsed.] [The passive skill contempt for the weak is disabled.] Originally, the bad karma worse than oneself Carlos''s passive skills that would have made him despise and ignore those who had . However, Jae-young, who has already made tens of thousands... no, maybe tens of millions of people bleed,''s enormous evil karma that he cannot dare to measure haspletely neutralized all the restrictions he had. [The fallen pirate king Carlos recognizes the yer.] [Fulfill the conditions required to create the scenario. A new fork has been reached.] [The mission has been renewed.] The message that the mission has been renewed came up, but Jaeyoung didn''t pay any attention to it and continued to stare at Carlos without taking his eyes off him. Didn''t I just tell you that it''s your own little devil who will grant your wishes? Jaeyoung answers with an evil smile. At his words, Carlos tried hard not to express himself, but it was clear that he was agitated. The devil... you say...? Carlos, who has lived a life full of blood on his hands as a criminal. However, he had never faced the devil face-to-face in his entire life, and had never seen a devil, but the conviction that if the devil really existed, it would be the same as the one in front of him, came from deep within his heart. [Passive skill Endless Fear of Death is activated.] [Passive skill Madness in the Shadows is activated.] Shadow Assassin Leader Shadow''s skill that is continuously activated. Perhaps because of its influence, Carlos let out a groan inwardly, feeling the sticky fear of death as if his soul would be robbed even now. I can''t believe it..... The existence of a demon... was like this... incarnation of evil. Carlos asked in a trembling voice, convinced that the being in front of him was just such a demon of the highest rank. Can you really grant my wish? His words that he would free himself from this ce and allow him to exact his bloody vengeance against the traitors who had kept him in the pits underground for many years. At that question, the being in front of me smiled and said. of course. A wish like that is nothing to me? An existence that speaks as if it is a very simple thing. Hearing that it was possible, Carlos hesitated for a moment, thought about something, and then asked with a firm face as if he had made a decision. What is the price? my soul? Carlos asks if he should sacrifice his soul. At his question, Tan muttered as he licked his lips with his eyes wide open. Oh, is that okay? Master, cant you give me that guys soul? A bullet with the momentum to take revenge and send Carlos''s soul to the demon realm. However, Jaeyoung red at him without saying anything at Tan''s question, and then opened his mouth. ...I read too many books. I don''t even need your soul. ...? Carlos, who knew that taking souls in exchange was the rule of the devils. However, with bright red eyes shining in front of his eyes, he wanted somethingpletely different from Carlos. I only want two things. You be the ruler of the Caribbean and exercise the same absolute influence as before. And the other one is..... Carlos gulps nervously as he watches Jaeyoung pull the horse. Jaeyoung told him what he really wanted. It is to do everything in my power to help me go beyond the endless sea'' and move toward a new continent. What did Bar just say? new continent. At those words, Carlos'' face was stained with astonishment. And then he raised his voice as if it were nonsense. What do you mean by a new continent? this is the end of the world Nothing exists in the endless sea. There are only grotesque and terrifying monsters and death roaming the depths. A story in a myth that no one remembers. For Carlos, who did not know the existence of a huge continent that had been scattered due to the endless death of the World Tree, what this devil wanted was a story that made no sense at all. But the devil looked at him with eyes more confident than ever. No, a new continent exists. You and others just never got there. ..... Carloss eyes trembled as if he couldnt believe it at all. He couldn''t speak for a long time, and he finally escaped the shock and opened his mouth. Come to think of it... I remember a story my grandmother told me when I was very young. story? I don''t remember exactly because I was too young... but I know it''s the story of a man who found something in the endless sea and came back alive. At that moment, Jaeyoung smiled deeply at Carlos'' words as if he had finally found him. As expected... I guess this is the right ce.'' A clue that I finally pulled out while searching for demons in the demon realm. [I don''t know. Even the devil didn''t seem to understand that he had heard the story when he was summoned a couple of decades ago. Go check it out for yourself.] The story of a person who sailed beyond the endless sea in the past and survived without dying. Although he didn''t know exactly, Jaeyoung could realize that he had caught the clue of a huge quest hidden here in the Caribbean. Therefore, Jaeyoung exerted pressure on Carlos by spitting out all his murderous intentions to maintain the atmosphere he had captured. Whoops. Keueueueueu ..... The legendary pirate king who was not afraid of death. As if he couldn''t stand it, Jaeyoung said as his whole body trembled and moaned. I''ll give you another chance. A chance to be the ruler of the Caribbean, full of thrilling romance and exciting adventures, albeit rugged and dangerous, and fly the seas again, waving the ck g of pirates. ..... For Carlos, the past has be a beautiful memory that cannot be enjoyed again. However, Carlos couldn''t bear to say anything at his offer to return it to the present reality. Instead, from the day you be the owner of this Caribbean again, investigate the source and rted records of the old story you just remembered, and ask everyone who lives in this city one by one to find it. All information and clues on how to sail across the endless sea to new continents. Thousands... tens of thousands of NPCs live in the gutter, but it''s a gigantic city of Caribbean. Jaeyoung decided to use Carlos, knowing that it would be an absurdly massive task to go around the hundreds and thousands of small inds and archipgos scattered here and there across the coast and collect clues to rted quests by himself. It''s going to take an incredibly long time to raise your sailing skills to the point where you''re going to find a new continent anyway...'' Even if you don''t know it, Jae-young alone navigates a huge ship and travels far away in the hardcore arcadia that values realism. Since it was absurd to set out to find a new continent, the Pirate King Carlos was an indispensable and important figure for him. Keukkeukuk..... Carlos kept his head down without saying anything for a long time. But suddenly he burst intoughter and began tough like a madman. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hey, have you gone crazy? Why are youughing all of a sudden? Arent you quiet? Shut up before you sew up your snout. When the guards suddenly start tough, the guards look into the cell with grim eyes and issue a bloody warning. However, not recognizing Jae-young, who had permeated into the shadows, they left,ining that Carlos was crazy. Is my suggestion funny...? I''m really serious. You... no you. You are not a demon. Not a request for a soul, but a stupid request to help find a new continent. It was so strange for a high-ranking devil who seemed toe out of legends to offer what he wanted, so Carlos had a hunch that the devil whispering a sweet proposal in front of his eyes was a human like himself. Well... Let''s just say that I have a very close rtionship with the devil. I didn''t understand exactly what that meant, but it didn''t matter. Because his suggestion made the long-dormant heart beat again in Carlos'' chest. It''s a new continent... that''s interesting. It''s so much fun. Carlos, who had never imagined that another world would exist beyond here in the Caribbean. He felt as if he had finally opened his eyes at Jaeyoung''s words. Will there be pirates like us on that new continent? Well... I don''t know about that because I haven''t been there either... but maybe so? At that, Carlos said with a strange smile. That means... that the world is still full of people who will kneel before me and swear an oath of obedience. The eyes of Carlos who said that were filled with a fighting spirit, a fighting spirit, and a desire to dominate and conquer. And he looked at Jaeyoung and said in a voice full of passion. I will ept your proposal, you nameless human who is more devilish than the devil. Even knowing that he had picked up the dangerous and deadly poisoned chalice, Carlos said to the unidentified man who was looking at him with his red eyes shining. Please help me reign as the ruler of this Caribbean again. Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Caribbean (5) Caribbean, City of Criminals. In the past, this rugged coastal area was an unexplorednd with neither a lord nor a manager. An area beyond anyone''s control. Therefore, those who settled here as a base of life were no other than criminal fugitives and homeless homeless people. No one asks about the past here. Both the lineage of noble and noble nobles and the lineage of lowly and unsightly ves are all the same Caribbean residents as long as theye here. Those who abandoned their hometown and hometown for personal reasons and came over alone. Each of them had different backgrounds, but the one who brought them all together was the pirate king, Carlos. The reasons foring here are different, but we all have something inmon. It''s the fact that you think the world is like X. Brothers and sisters, follow me. It is a thorough demonstration of how great our wrath is to those damn rulers! The reasons were all different, but the hostility and revenge against the world and society are deeply ingrained in the bones of the inhabitants of the Caribbean. It didn''t take long for those united by this to grow into a massive criminal organization terrorizing entire continents. Now... its time to plunder. Raise the g! The ck Pirates were born that way. And the pirate king, Carlos. In an instant, he widely embraced criminals and outcasts from all continents and united them into onemunity. Although he is now imprisoned in a dungeon due to the rebellion that urred a few years ago, there are still countless people who miss him and follow him. Wow. Non-emergency! Carlos has escaped! Keugh... A strange intruder is with you! Hurry up and tell me upstairs! Carlos'' cell suddenly exploded without any warning or warning. Watching the two figures slowly emerge from the narrow prison filled with dust, the guards, who were guarding him with imprable vignce, shouted in horror. You guys! Do you really want to die! Elite forces are pouring in from above. Surrender right now! Guards made up of level 180 elite troops. Even with their deadly threats with menacing weapons, Carlos had a strange smile on his face that was not at all intimidated. Hehehehehe... do you dare to surrender to me? Carlos, who was once the absolute ruler of the Caribbean, although he is now in ruins. The momentum emanating from him, who was free from the restraints he had been suppressing, was so huge that he overwhelmed them all despite his numerical inferiority. Even if dozens of you bug-like bastards rush at you, you wont be able to defeat me. Carlos speaks confidently as if dering an absolutew. However, Jaeyoung did not have any doubts about his words. [Lv. 240 Pirate King Carlos] If there is a difference of 60 levels. Carlos was designed as the most important core NPC in the Caribbean, although it was not possible to check the exact abilities and skills he possessed in detail. That''s why I didn''t think that he would be mercilessly defeated by the small puppets who acted as a guard. Hey Tan. ok? why? Tan was watching this scene with interest. He asked, rolling his eyes at Jaeyoung''s call. Do you have any weapons that can be used? weapon....? Why all of a sudden? The owner wants to use it himself? No, not me, but something worth giving to him as a gift. Carlos bluffs right in front of the atmosphere. Of course, he had those abilities, but unlike the four people who were nervous and vignt, he was bare-chested and without a weapon, so it wasn''t a situation where he could rx. Hmm.... A weapon to give to that human? huh. Anyway, there is a probability... There are enough of them, so take care and bring out something good. It''s not just about getting out of the current situation, it''s about developing into a rtionship that will continue to cooperate in the future. That''s why Jaeyoung chose the easiest way to win Carlos'' favor. Hmm... Wait a minute? If it''s a weapon that''s suitable to handle at that level... Are you looking for a level that suits your level or a guy who can afford the most probabilities at a high price? After thinking about something for a long time, Tan brought out a ck cuss. Isnt that guy the guy who plunders humans while riding on that boat? I guess this would be just right. how is it? Jaeyoung nodded with a satisfied smile as he picked up the sword that Tan had brought out and checked its performance, perhaps considering Carlos'' characteristics. Its fine. Do you like it. [Terror of the ck Sea - Legend] A sword made from the vertebrae of ancient sea kings who are said to swim forever in the ck sea of the underworld. It is filled with the fear of the vast darkness and the endless abyss. -Equipment limit: 300 < bad karma value 130000 sailing rank 1 looting rank 3 or higher, no level limit > -durability: infinite -attack power: 3000~3300 bat power of subordinate crew members increased by 30%. -20% increase in sailing speed when chasing ships. -100% increase in overall stats during ship battles. -Detect enemy ships closest to you. -Special Skill: Absolute Command of the Ouws of the Ocean. An item filled with just the right options, so it wouldn''t be strange to say that it exists just for Carlos. Carlos, who instinctively felt it, turned around and was staring at the sword Jaeyoung was holding with greedy eyes. What is that...? It is an incredibly beautiful looking sword. Carlos asks, looking at him with greedy eyes as if he is openly coveted. Jaeyoung chuckled and threw the sword at his reaction. ...Because it seems too unfavorable to deal with alone without a weapon. We need to be fair to some extent. percussion. Carlos lightly grabbed the sword that Jaeyoung had thrown him. However, after grabbing it, he looked at Jaeyoung with wide eyes and asked if he instinctively recognized the true value of the sword. This sword... where the hell did you get it from? A heavy sword that suddenly appeared like smoke. But what was even more surprising than that was that this sword, Carlos, had so much power that it would be worth it even in exchange for the enormous treasures he had umted. And Jaeyoung smiled and answered his question yfully. Did you tell me earlier? There is a friendly devil around. It wouldn''t be strange to say that all pirates of the Caribbean were fighting a bloody battle because of this one sword. Seeing Jaeyoung throwing away items of that much value as if they were japtem that had no value, Carlos had a dumbfounded expression on his face, but then let out a bigugh. Ke K K K K K K K K K K K K K K K C K C K C C K C K C K C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C Co ? Carlosughed like a madman for a long time in front of his enemies. After quite a while, he stoppedughing and spoke with sincerity. What is your name? Carlos asks for the name he never asked when he whispered that he would help him regain his position as ruler in prison, when he released the shackles that bound him, and even when he smashed the prison door at once. Jaeyoung hesitated for a moment before answering his question. ...Dex. Dex... Dexra... Carlos muttered the name several times as if he would remember it. And he looked at Jaeyoung and smiled like he was having fun. Hes a guy I like more than I thought... Its fun. That rare infiltration ability, the smell of countless blood that even I couldn''t touch. And to have information that no one knows and such a rare item that no one dares to touch. It''s to the point where I doubt if they''re really the same person. Carlos boasts that he has encountered and met more diverse human groups than anyone else. However, when he met Dex, a unique human he had never met in his life, Carlos said with a genuinely funny face. ...Humans are right, so I hope you don''t misunderstand me. Carlos doubts Jaeyoung''s race itself. When Jaeyoung protested as if he was absurd at his words, Carlos giggled. Even if it''s not this deal... I''d like to continue to have a good rtionship with you. At the same time as Carlos'' words, various messages appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [We present a weapon to Carlos.] [Probability 85000 consumed.] [Carlos'' favorability increases significantly.] [Carlos epts the yer as a friend.] [Obtained the title Pirate King''s Friend''. ] [The yer''s reputation within the Caribbean rises significantly.] [New rumors begin to circte in the tavern in the Caribbean.] Who said that? It is expensive things that attract people''s hearts. Like a girlfriend who received a luxury bag as a gift, or a mother-inw who received a super-expensive massage chair as a gift, Carlos instantly became likable. Where did the eyes full of doubts and wariness from before go and Jae-youngmented inwardly when he saw him who was full of good spirits. Haa..... After all, the world of materialism.'' This pitiful world where material values take precedence over spiritual values, just like a game. Jaeyoung felt bitter at this fact and wanted to sigh, but there was no time for that because of the reinforcements that had arrived. Carlos! You bastard! Are you crazy about wanting to die? How dare you dare to escape? A one-eyed pirate who came running with a puzzled face and shouted loudly, as if he had rushed to prepare for the rm from below. Seeing him like that, Carlos said with a smile on his face full ofposure. Keuhehehe... Sparrow This is a face I haven''t seen in a long time. How many years has this been? The traitor Sparrow, who was the one who put him in the dungeon and hit him right in the back of the head. Upon his appearance, Carlos said with a fierce fighting spirit. Do you think you guys can beat us all! Even at this moment, the elite troops of the Red Beard areing here! When Able''s forces arrive here, you''re done! Carlos was outnumbered and overpowered by Sparrow and Able''sbined offensive several years ago. Unlike then, the situation was much worse now that his loyal subordinates were gone, but Carlos was not at all anxious. Did you say Dex...? ...? If you fight together... how many do you think you can deal with? Carlos asks if you can help him fight together. At his question, Jaeyoung smiled and took out a dagger and held it in his hand. entire. Carlos looks at Jaeyoung''s confident words with a deep smile as if having fun. He immediately turned his gaze and looked at Sparrow, whose face was mixed with manyplex emotions such as embarrassment, shock, and fear. I told you before... A curse left behind by a desperate vengeful spirit before losing everything and being imprisoned in a dungeon after being betrayed by him in the past. At that time, I never imagined that Carlos himself would be the person involved, but Carlos said with his eyes full of joy that the day he had only dreamed of had arrived today. You will crawl on the floor and die a miserable death. That day, the Caribbean was greeted with brightly burning mes even though it was a dark night. The splendid return of the pirate king Carlos, the ouw of the sea, the lord of all criminals and the ruler of the Caribbean. Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Caribbean (6) Due to thewless environment of survival of the fittest, where only the strong survive, Caribbean is overwhelmingly stronger than any other city in terms of average military force. However, even in such a tough city, there was no one who could face Carlos, who had a legendary weapon, and Jae-young, who had borrowed the power of the shadow assassin leader. This... this is nonsense! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..a lie...a lie. Chow. A pirate who copsed while bleeding when the ck cuss was swung. Carlos, who was already drenched in someone''s blood and stained red, said with his mad eyes shining. Hehehehe... Who will go to hell next? Dozens... hundreds of elite troops have already lost their lives. The troops led by Sparrow and the elite of Able who arrivedte gathered all their strength to resist, but the result was so disastrous that they could not open their eyes to see it. Sparrow and Able... both of them die... Such a ridiculous dog-like situation... Sparrow and Able, the heads of a huge organization that divided the Caribbean. However, they hurriedly appeared to subdue Carlos, and as if they had been waiting for this moment, Jae-young and Carlos rushed at them. [Sparrow, the leader of the ck Pirates, has passed away.] [Able, the leader of the Red Beard, has passed away.] [A phenomenal achievement. The two leaders of the criminal organization that dominated the Caribbean were punished.] [The title Crime Punisher'' was obtained.] Hmm..... Although these one-sided murders were not right, they deserved the judgment they deserved. . El, who did not like the situation of freeing the wicked pirate king and punishing those who oppose him, but muttered as if it wasforting that the opponents were vicious criminals no less than Carlos. After all the elite soldiers, who were called the two personal guards, were killed, the battle naturally fell into a lull as only those who hesitated in fear were filled. What are you doing?! No more attacking! ..... Those who lost their will to fight with frightened faces. Looking at their eyes, Carlos scolded in an angry voice. These cowards...! You guys are all cowards! How dare you say that you are a member of the ck Pirates while hesitating and afraid of dying! It is safe to say that the current Caribbean was made by himself, Carlos, the pirate king. In fact, it could be said that among those living on thisnd, there was no one who did not receive his grace, but they all turned away from Carlos. What did you do when that cowardly traitor made a mean raid and imprisoned me? Wasn''t he afraid of dying, so he bowed his head and pressed his face to the floor, trembling and begging for mercy? Is that what you guys think of the ck Pirates? You fucking cowards! A sparrow lying on the floor, stained with a gray light. Pointing at him with contemptuous eyes, Carlos looked coldly at all those who forsook his grace and silently obeyed Sparrow in search of a way to live. In my heart... I want to punish all distrustful cowards like you, but I''ll give you onest chance. ...? The pirates look at Carlos with strange anticipation at the word of giving them a chance. He took a look around at all the people who surrounded him with frightened faces and said: Lay down your weapons and swear to me once more. I will prepare for death and fly the g of the ck Pirates again and let its status shine throughout the continent. And to give everything for the Caribbean and me, Carlos. Carlos, a cruel and heartless criminal, but at the same time ruled the Caribbean for a long time. He was also an outstanding monarch with overwhelming charisma and dominance. So, in fact, he knew very well. Those who were loyal to him, even giving their lives, died in the rebellion several years ago, and if he takes bloody revenge on those who betrayed him now, no one within the ck Pirates will be able to survive. Therefore, he suppressed the vengeance boiling in his heart with all his might and decided to forgive them all. In exchange for an oath that this will never happen again. If you cant do that... at this moment, give your life and ask for my forgiveness. Death or submission? At the words of Carlos, who presented the two options, they hesitated while looking at each other. Clink. And how much time has passed? As if making a firm decision, an unknown pirate dropped the weapon in his hand and knelt down, bowing his head towards Carlos. And starting with that, like dominoes copsing in session, the rupture of metal hitting the floor began to reverberate from all directions. Clink, ng, ng... Everyoneid down their weapons, knelt down, and formed a circle in an example of obedience and loyalty. At the center of the circle, Carlos was speechless for a long time with an indescribable expression, then spoke with a heavy face. From this moment on, the Caribbean is one again. His deration that he will never tolerate power struggles between organizations again. With that, the remnants of the ck Pirates and Red Beard gathered here realized. That the silent war between the various factions that stained the back alleys with blood due to fierce power struggles hase to an end as of now. And... we will again fly the ck Pirates'' g to the whole world, and our lofty will and beliefs. Discrimination based on social status Refusing poverty and inequality that can never be escaped, the pirates'' belief that they will change everything with their own hands, free from their natural limitations, and fully cultivated by themselves. He said that he would spread it all over the continent, and Carlos ordered them with his burning eyes shining. Use all means to spread rumors outside. Those who want to burn this world full of irrational discrimination and inequality and create a new world of our own where all human beings are equal and equal, tramps, criminals, fugitives, beggars.... No one cares, soe here to the Caribbean and join us in that movement. Up until now, the pirates had been divided over control of the Caribbean and were only engaged in exhausting internal quarrels. However, under the strong charisma and leadership of Carlos, they united again and began to unite the huge force. With the determination to set the whole world on fire and create their own peaceful era. I think I did something seriously wrong...?'' A situation where something incredibly dangerous terrorist group has been created. Although Jae-young helped him in his own way, his thoughts were extremely extreme, radical, and violent, no matter how positively Jae-young tried to think. And as if agreeing with Jaeyoung''s thoughts, Tan let out an exmation of admiration. Wow..... The owner is really great. Did you know this was going to happen on purpose and gave it to this human like that? Jae-young, who brought out a legendary item with a greater probability than expected, gave it to Carlos without saying anything. He was always calcting and hated getting caught, so Jae-young, who had be a generous tree of giving, was puzzled by Tan''s intentions, but now he understands. For those who see potential, they generously invest in probability and push it to the point of overturning the world. Big. After all, the owner''s evil thoughts are so deep and deep that even I can''t understand them? Tan took out a ck scroll as if he had attained a great realization, and began to write something down, busily scrawling his hand in bloody ink. Looking at him who began to write down something furiously, as if he couldn''t miss a single thing, Jae-young said to Carlos with a face that gave up everything, as if he had no energy to say anything anymore. Hey Carlos. Why but my friend? Carlos now calls him a close friend and replies with a friendly face. The sight of him grinning bright red as if he had been showered with blood was truly grotesque. Everything else is fine... but the promise you made with mees first. Oh yes. Don''t worry, I won''t forget you. Carlos nodded and replied to Jaeyoung''s words. He said, banging his head on the floor, looking around at all those who were pledging allegiance. Everyone raise your heads. From now on, I will give you the first task you must do. ...? His subordinates raise their heads one by one with puzzled expressions at the word of giving them a mission. Carlos ordered them all. Ask everyone here all over the Caribbean and go everywhere and find out. I don''t care if any small clues are considered nonsense or mere legends, so find them all and bring them back. Judgment is not made by you, but by me and my best friend. What are you talking about? A question posed by someone to his iprehensible order. To that question, Carlos said with his eyes burning with an unknown desire. Things about new continents and routes to them. And at that moment, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [All conditions required to activate the main scenario have been met.] [Main Scenario Act. 3 The New Continent has begun.] [The linked quest Story of a Forgotten Legend'' has been created.] [You have been selected as the main yer of the main scenario.] [The flow of the main scenario may change depending on the yer''s actions. . Be mindful of y.] A message telling you to be mindful of y along with the message that the main scenario has started. Seeing this, Jaejoong was convinced. The fact that the process he had gone through to find the new continent so far was not a wrong answer. It may take longer than expected to find the necessary clues. Ah... it doesnt matter. After all, there is no such thing as too urgent. It doesn''t matter how long it takes, so let''s take it slow. Thank you for understanding. So while we wait, stay here and look around infort. It looks like a mess, but it has its own charm. So what..... The Caribbean, where no one dares to touch him as long as he has the title of Carlos'' best friend. Jaeyoung decided to have a leisurely time there after a long time. Leaving behind those who couldn''t afford it because of that. * * * [Main Scenario Act. 3 The New Continent has begun.] [The linked quest Story in the Forgotten Legend'' has been created.] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! please! crazy! Its been less than a week since the main scenario was created, but its already started? who is this! What kind of XXXX and XXXXXXXXXXX bastard is going around like this! Even when Ellis said that the main scenario had been created, General Manager Kang Tae-hoon was nervous and anxious. He looked at the screaming Crisis Management and Response Team members and sighed, letting out a soullessugh. Fuck..... At that moment, General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon was seized with an intense urge to assassinate the user in question and was able to realize it. Why doesn''t Alice, the artificial intelligence, thoroughly disclose user information by restricting ess whenever such a major event urs? Director Kang Tae-hoon was able to keenly feel today again why the old ancestors'' wise saying, Not knowing is the medicine'' came out. Episode 134 Real people are imaginative! (1 ) The 5th emergency meeting of Arcadia Korea Branch. The briefing on the current situation taking ce in the game, gathering as much information as possible, continued in a tense atmosphere. We believe that the main scenario created this time began when the NPC named Carlos, the pirate king, reigned again as the ruler of the Caribbean. A special NPC who must be imprisoned. In the emergency meeting held up to the 4th, no one was unaware of the meaning of General Manager Kang Tae-hun''s words during the briefing because he had sufficiently discussed the values he had. Car Carlos has taken control of the Caribbean again...? How on earth was that even possible? What about the ck Pirates and the Red Beards? As long as they were there, there would have been no way that Carlos would be able to take control of the Caribbean again...? Carlos, who must be stuck in the dungeon and quietly waiting for someone to rescue him. A strange tension lingered in the conference room as this could never happen unless the ck Pirates and the Red Beards, who betrayed him and took control of the Caribbean, copsed. You can''t... you mean that those two organizations have already copsed... aren''t you? A question posed by someone out of anxiety. However, Director Kang Tae-hoon nodded his head with a brutally dark expression. That''s right. Five hours ago, we finally confirmed the deaths of the two NPCs, Sparrow and Able of the Red Beard, who ruled the ck Pirates. yes....? Oh. Haa..... Desperate sighs and sighs erupted here and there. One of the team leaders in charge of in-game bnce looked at the thick reports lying on the desk with a face of disbelief and said. Director Kang Tae-Hoon, this is a very presumptuous statement... but isn''t it a situation where we should also consider whether it is a system error or bug? Is this a realistic situation now? ording to the data presented here, the prerequisites for Carlos to take control of the Caribbean... are not things that can be met in such a short amount of time? Arcadia prides itself on being wless and free of any errors or bugs. Of course, some ws ur due to inexperience in nning or loopholes in system design, but such a serious error has never urred, so the questions he posed were directly against thepany to which everyone belonged. you''re right. ording to the data presented here, the process of Carlos taking control of the Caribbean, which triggered this main scenario, is at least equivalent to the main scenario. Carlos, a symbol of the brilliant past. Finding him through a very tough and tricky process and rescuing him from the enemy''s stronghold. In addition, the whole process of bringing together all the criminals of the Caribbean together with Carlos and destroying the two giant organizations was already designed as one main scenario that requires hundreds of quests. [Caribbean City of Criminals] [The Dirty Back Alley Conspiracy] [The Age of Past Glory Carlos] [The Fallen Pirate King] [The Rise of Freedom] [Hope of the Silent Oppressed] ...Act. 19 The mes of revolution rise. A result that can only be derived through the 19th main scenario that will heat up all Arcadia users. However, it was not easy for anyone to believe that the results were already produced in just a few days, ignoring all theplicated processes. That''s what I think too... but Ellis has already verified the situation several times and has already given an answer that there is no problem. A situation where only team leaders and senior executives at the level of department heads or higher exist in the conference room. That''s why Director Kang Tae-hun didn''t hesitate to mention the existence of Alice and continued the exnation, but everyone only made confused faces as if they couldn''t understand. If so, could you confirm the details? No matter how you look at it, this doesnt make any sense in terms ofmon sense, so I honestly dont understand if I can move on to saying that there is no problem. The staff nodded vigorously as if agreeing with that statement. However, Manager Kang Tae-hoon said as if he was embarrassed by that statement. Well... As you all know, you know how difficult it is to read information about Alice. This is especially true for users rted to hidden sses or main scenarios. I don''t know the exact standard, but Alice''s own system that limits the right to view information by rating it even among the same users. Because of that, I only received relevant information, but I didn''t know anything about the process and how that result came out in detail, so Director Kang Tae-hoon shook his head. First of all, it was information that could not be read under the authority of me or Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. No matter how much I asked for it, I couldn''t get anything about the user information rted to it because Icked administrative rights. If there is someone in mypany who can check them... A desk in the conference room. After a brief nce at the empty seat at the far end of the table, he muttered in a loud voice as if he was talking to himself for everyone to hear. Probably only the boss. Thus, the 5th emergency meeting ended without any progress. Everyone who attended the meeting went back to their seats with full of worries and concerns in their hearts,pletely unaware of the situation that would be triggered by this scenario in the future. * * * At that time, the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are having a heated meeting and wrapping up their headaches. Jaeyoung, the party to all of these incidents, was staring at Jaekyun with a pathetic expression on his face. Kyahahaha. what is that You are so funny. No, is it real? I asked you yesterday... Chae-yeon and Tae-soo sit together andugh and chat, creating a lively atmosphere. Jae-gyun, who was sitting not far from the two and listening to the conversation with his ears perked up, was no different from the image of a stalker. Jaegyun-ah, if youre interested in the story, why dont you go and mix things up... Eh. Yes? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Jae-gyun, who had been listening like a rabbit until just now, was startled by Jae-young''s sincere advice and put on an innocent face pretending not to know. Seeing that, Jaeyoung waved his hand as if he had said something nonsensical. ....no. I said something wrong. Just do whatever you want. Jae-gyun likes Chae-yeon, but always goes out of his way and can''t speak properly. Just watching him from the sidelines, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh, feeling stuffy as if he had stuffed 10 sweet potatoes in a row into his mouth. Haa..... That''s like that, isn''t it that you can''t really date at least once?'' Tae-soo and Chae-yeon appear to be no stranger to rumors that they are already dating. However, as if he didn''t give up, Jae-kyun continued to appeal to his existence by hovering around Chae-yeon''s side, as if he didn''t give up, whether he was unaware of it or he was denying the reality even though he knew it. Hehe..... Chae Yeon-ah! hi? Have you met again? Have you had lunch? Chae Yeon-ah! Do you have any sses today? Jae-kyun, who can''t remember his own ss schedule, knows exactly when Chae-yeon''s sses are. Jaeyoung, who seems not to be aware of it, but Jaeyoung, who has been watching his actions closely, deliberately waits for more than 30 minutes for Chaeyeon to finish ss, then pretends to have a chance meeting and proposes to have lunch together. was creepy Anyway, you really have to be treated properly before you cane to your senses. huh? Jaeyoung, what did you just say? Jae-gyun turns his head to ask if he heard him muttering to himself. In response to his question, Jaeyoung shook his head as if it was nothing and changed the topic. Nothing. Rather... how did you go about what I asked you to do? Ah, that...? What Jaeyoung asked Jaekyun for. It was to deliver the investment money to the top of the pie and ask the dwarves and elves to speak on behalf of Jaeyoung. Hmm... I think it went well. First of all, I brought the gold you gave me, and I''m a bitch... right? I met that friend and went to the dwarf chief together to tell him your story instead, but he said he would do it without saying anything. He also gave me a letter to be sent to the elves. Although Jae-young sent a note to Joong-sik, he was very worried that he couldn''t find it in person. However, perhaps thanks to Jae-young and Jae-kyun staying in the dwarf vige for a whole month and seeing his face reflected by many dwarves, the dwarves clearly carried out what he wanted even though Jae-young did not go. Ah, Apple and Lemon told me to say thank you so much. I thought it was only giving exclusive rights, but I never imagined that it would support such an enormous amount. Jae-young, who provided gold worth up to 1 billion won in Hanwha. However, at Jaekyun''s words, Jaeyoung spoke calmly. What are you doing with that much? Anyway, if you continue to trade between elves and dwarves, you''ll be able to make a lot of money that makes it ridiculous. There is no guild that trades between elves and dwarves. The additional profit that could be gained from trading with the two was beyond imagination, so Jaeyoung did not regret the 10,000 gold he gave them. Anyway, half of the upper management''s stake is mine.....'' Jae- young thinks that the amount of investment is ridiculously smallpared to taking half of the profits the two of them worked hard for without doing anything. That''s why he said with an expression that it was burdensome to Jae-kyun, who was looking at him with envy. Why do you keep looking at me like that? No... It''s just really nice to realize that the name Dex isn''t an illusion when I see what you''re doing. Jaekyun, who has been a fan of Dex for a long time. Even though he was a fan who liked it alone on the Inte, Jae-kyun was happy that he could meet in person and have a meal together, even in Arcadia. Lets continue to be friends from now on. Jaekyun said with a wink in his eyes. At his words, Jaeyoung spoke sincerely with a strange feeling of displeasure that shriveled her whole body. ...if you don''t say that kind of weird thing again, I''ll think about it. Huh..... I mean it..... Jae-kyun looks sad at Jae-young''s words. He was about to say something to him, but when Professor Kim Tae-hoon appeared, Jae-young had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. There is no need to open the book. Put everything in. ...? ...? Professor Kim Tae-hun tells us to put books first as soon as we enter the ssroom. He shouted something loudly into the hallway with a flushed face as if he was excited about something. You cane in here. The threshold is a bit high, so be careful. While everyone was making curious faces at that, something huge burst out of the door of the fairlyrge ssroom. uh....? Is that...? What is that....? Arent you Dreamer? Why all of a sudden? Two stout men carrying arge, streamlined capsule. Leaving behind them who were busily wandering about, setting up equipment at the front of the ssroom, Professor Kim Tae-hoon spoke to the students with puzzled faces. After multiple requests, today all of you have been given permission to try out yet undisclosed virtual reality technology. Please understand that the contents of the ss were not announced in advance and inevitably changed because it was decidedst night. Instead, the assignment we were supposed to submit today will be extended until next week. Oh great. s, I havent finished all the assignments. It''s sweet. The students smiled and murmured with a smile on their faces at those words. Normally, upon hearing that, he would have destroyed the atmosphere in the ssroom with a cold face, but Professor Kim Tae-hoon said with a face that didn''t care at all. This guy''s name is Lucid Dream. As he tapped a capsule-shaped device like a virtual reality connector with one hand, his eyes lit up. In todays ss, we will check the limits of your imagination through this device. Chapter 134 134: A myth and a unique skill, Cheonmagang Rim. Jin(ft). The sword demon resided in Yooseong''s body, and an intangible vortex began to swirl beneath his feet. The expressions of the yers were frozen cold, and the vampires and humans could not hide their bewilderment at the power of the meteors scattering within the barrier. Oh, Blood Apostle This is the power of the great Blood God ! Therefore, the vampires raised their voices in front of Yoosung''s activities, and it did not take long for the situation to turn around. No, this isnt yours I thought about it and thought, What do you think? In front of their cheers, Yoosung tried to speak, but then closed his mouth. That''s why I adjusted the hilt of the sword and turned my head. yers forged with the power of fire and light. In response, a yer wearing the body of a high-ranking vampire and the suit of a vampire lord kicked the ground. The army of death frost in the barrier he oveid, along with the three void hounds. One of the 99 yers, who literally had the appearance of a monster, tried to mock him in front of him. But the fire and light that forged him passed away so fleetingly. The dark frost de held in Meteor''s hand ughtered the body of a yer, and no one realized anything more. . There is no time to even realize it. It was faster than I thought, faster than words or sound. Ilchosik Ind (k) of the Heavenly Demon''s Three Swords. And then another herbivorous meal unfolded. Destruction. The fire and light that forged the yers fleetingly shattered the leather coats, hunter hats, firearms, and other weapons they wore. It was literal annihtion. Descent of the Heavenly Demon. Jin (M) C Ability . The divinity and inaction of the Heavenly Demon can temporarily descend upon the body. (omitted) . When activating Heavenly Demon Descent, the weapon effect of Dokgogu Sword (9 hits per 1 attack) can be applied. (New!) . ??? One of the abilities contained in the skill of Advent of the Heavenly Demon is the passive effect of the mythic grade weapon ''Dokgo Gugeom''. 1 attack and 9 hits. Moreover, the same was true for the five swords of the incorporeal swordsmen that Yooseong was controlling with his swordsmanship. The two herbivorous inds and destruction of the Heavenly Demon''s Three Swords. 108 sword strikes in a split second literally annihted the yers there. Oh my, thats so easy! In case anyone said it was a bad game, the power bnce waspletely messed up! How I just swung the two herbivorous swords of the Three Swords of the Heavenly Demon. Nevertheless, the opponent that Yoosung had to face in this battlefield, the ''yer'', a force over which the Lords of Fire and Light exercised influence, was unterally annihted. Except for one leader of the yers. Even Yoosung, who was pretending to be carefree, couldn''t hide his shock. Moreover, the monarchs who were watching this tower from their thrones were no exception. [Innumerable monarchs are astonished as they recall the nightmare of Monarch yer!] Hehe, I too am so afraid of my own strength. That''s why I answered without hiding it. Because there was no need to hide it. Now then, do you have anything to say before you cancel your Samdocheon Express ticket? Yooseong adjusted the hilt of his sword and said. Before he knew it, he had five dark frost des and intangible swordsmen revolving around him. Ashes to ashes The leader of the yers spoke and before he even had time to finish speaking, Meteor''s sword was swung. It was right then. [Warning: Master yer is participating!] Kaang! The sword that was supposed to be swung at him was blocked with a message. It was the de of a bay. It is not a type of sword attached to the barrel of a gun (bay), but is closer to a sword as it would appear in creative works such as games. Nevertheless, it was literally a bay, with the hilt shaped like a revolver and fused with the de. Immediately after, the effect of Dokgogu Sword was activated from Yoo Seong''s sword, and eight shadow swordsmen kicked the ground. Therefore, with the bay and the de of the dark frost sword shing, the Master yer pulled the trigger and bit himself. zing fire and light scattered, and a barrage of bullets in an unprecedented form began to rain down. Therefore, Yoosung, who was nning to deflect the bullet with his sword technique, btedly bit back and avoided the barrage of bullets. The yer also easily evaded the shadows of the Dokgogu Sword that were swung from Yoo Seong''s sword. The distance widened. The shadow beneath the hunter''s hat is dark. Nevertheless, I was able to feel it intuitively when I saw the very familiar blonde hair. Once upon a time, when the Clown Lord exercised his influence on the tower and a chaos of countless forces broke out . A yer who did not hide his excessive hostility towards Lord Mikhail, the head of the n. ''It''s truly pitiful, my lovely younger brother.'' And she remembered what Mikhail said when he mocked her. At the same time, I clearly remembered the message when she appeared. Master yer. Oh, it''s an honor to see you again. And I have one thing to tell you. I also really like your brother That''s why Yoosung opened his mouth during the confrontation. No, I tried to open my mouth. Faster than that, ''Master yer'' kicked the ground. Kaang closed the distance and her bay swung with fire. A sh between two strong powers. Nevertheless, Yooseong still had intangible swordsmen orbiting around him. That''s why the sword shes with the sword, creating the sword technique. Five dark frost des controlled by the core struck down. Eomgeomsul. C Grade .Hero Awakening C Attribute. Steel C Ability . By infusing me into the sword, you can control it freely. . Up to five ''Keywords: Shingeomhapil'' can be given to swords controlled through the sword technique. The swords themselves that can be controlled through the sword technique are not difficult to handle, up to a dozen or up to hundreds of swords. Rather than being a sword that can be wielded to unfold Lace''s world, it can literally be scattered like flower petals at the particle level. However, Lace''s world, which is subject to the constraints of the machine lord, cannot be used arbitrarily. Therefore, in the current situation, the number of swords that can be controlled with precision no different from one''s own body is up to five. In other words, excluding the sword in your hand, the number of swords that can be affected by the effect of Dokgogu Sword is also five. In fact, it would be impossible to strike such a powerful person by creating swords at random. That''s why Yoo Seong and the five swordsmen swung the sword of dark frost in his hand. At the same time, the Heavenly Demon''s inaction that resided in each sword began to disperse under the effect of the Dokgogu Sword. Seom? A sword of extreme exhration that can be swung faster than type, words, or sound. Every time the dark frost sword was swung, countless sword shadows were created, and a total of 54 swords fell towards the Master yer. Sigh! It was inevitable. No matter how strong she is, she will not be able to help even the sword demon that makes even monarchs tremble with fear. It should have been so. The Master yer''s torn body turned into ashes and flew away. And the ashes that were supposed to fall formed a new ''pile of ashes'' and regained their shape by taking the shape of a person. Ashes to ashes, Master yer finally opened his mouth coldly. Can you understand what that means? You monster who abandoned being human. As expected, you''re an old monster, so your advice is truly unique. Yoosung ignored her words calmly. It was right then. Something started flying around the area. It was ashes. Before I knew it, countless piles of ashes were swirling around the Master yer like a sandstorm. Thats right. That''s why the woman answered. Ashes that cannot return to ashes are ultimately nothing more than monsters. At the same time, the ash swirling around she took shape again. They were the yers who had once fallen before the sword of the meteor. Oh, is that so? However, in front of that scene, Yoosung calmly asked back. Do you really want to return to ashes and dont know what to do? Thats right. She said. Ah, then I happen to know a special medicine that works directly on things that cant die. Immediately after, the dark frost swords orbiting around the meteor disappeared all at once. Do you really think you can break our curse? Is there any reason why I cant quit? There was only one sword in his hand. Master yer looked at the shooting star in silence. The same was true for the yers following her. Not even resisting, as if waiting for his sword. That''s why Yooseong focused his consciousness. Something that needs to be cut down. I once traced the thoughts and experiences that the Heavenly Demon had as an absolute being of meaninglessness. Things that be meaningless before his sword lose their meaning and fade away, engraved on his body his. An unknown emptiness came over me. A strange feeling, as if even one''s own existence is gradually being worn away as wear and tear continues. Nevertheless, there was something there that needed to be cut with the sword of meaninglessness. Defeat enemies, conquer towers, and protect the world. That was Yoosung''s job. For him, the game has always been about winning, and now will be no different. The nameless sword, thest sword of the Heavenly Demon''s Three Swords, was swung. No, I tried to swing it. Kaang It was right then. The sound of metal echoed. It was the sound of swords shing and resonating in front of him, a sword of meaninglessness that nothing could block, and even all meaning had to be lost and destroyed. To what? Immediately after, the swords shed and an indescribable shock wave engulfed the entire area. Click! It was a storm of power that seemed to engulf all of the vampires and humans who were fighting endlessly against the barrier oveid by the meteor. As if two hands were pping together and making a pping sound, there was another sword there blocking the meaningless sword. How dare this bastard [Force: Blood rtives are joining the war!] The message appeared in a synchronized manner. By the time the message came to mind, he had already been struck back with Yoo Seong''s sword. The head of the n, the blond-haired kid Lord Mikhail was swinging the ''Blood Sword'' to counter Yoo Seong''s sword. Thest sword of the Heavenly Demon''s Three Swords and the nameless Chosik. A sword of nihilism that can dismantle all nihilism and return it to nihilism. I had to swing it. All meaning before it had to be dismantled and returned to nothingness. But I couldn''t swing it. It couldn''t be dismantled. It was the same as before when the sword was swung towards a shooting star. Something that does not lose meaning and does not copse even in front of the sword of the Absolute Meaningless One. I was able to read the emotions as they shed their swords. I heard that siblings be friends by fighting. That''s why Yooseong muttered as if it were someone else''s business and focused his attention on the sword he was holding in his hand. How dare you kill my sister ! Lord Mikhail also did not withdraw his bloody sword and raised his voice, ovee by feelings of hatred. The man who never lost hisposure and showedposure became a monster spewing indescribable blood and darkness. At one point, his younger sister, the ''Master yer'', was looking behind him with an indescribable expression on his face. There was no need to read the emotions felt through the sword. No, I didn''t want to read it. Vampire and yer The memory and meaning of a brother and sister biting each other as if they were going to die. . Every time the memories flowed in through the sword, it was so painful that even Yooseong felt like he was going to lose consciousness. The pain and fear of losing a loved one consumed Yooseong. Furthermore, I was able to realize that the form of the emotion was strangely familiar. Chapter 135 Chapter 135 The real thing is imaginative! (2) Lucid Dream, a virtual reality integrated production machine. Although it has not yet been officially released due to legal issues, it has already appeared in various media outlets and has received a lot of attention from the industry. [No, while releasing the technology of virtual reality, they do not sell the devices necessary for the most important production? Isn''t this just a ploy to dy the arrival of otherpetitors as much as possible? In order to prevent this situation from happening, a bill is needed to prevent monopolistic giants such as Ajin Electronics from monopolizing a specific technology and monopolizing the entire market.] [No, why are you bringing that problem here now ? I don''t know. Isn''t the release dyed because the opposition party frothed and blocked the enactment of virtual reality-rted legition? Do you know how contradictory it is to say something like this after the party to which you are a member opposes the passage of the bill as a group?] [No, that is different from this ! Isn''t it because the side effects and harms that virtual reality can cause to the human body have not yet been verified!] [If you''re against the passage of the bill because you''re so concerned about public health, you''d rather be a virtual reality game that''s getting a lot of poprity right now. Let''s try to prevent it from happening.] [.....] [Why, it seems like you can hear the sound of falling tickets all the way, so you can''t bear to do that?] [This person is for real! It''s been discussed since before, but it''s rude, what kind of habit is that!] Virtual reality. A technique that came out of nowhere in an unexpected situation. However, unlike ordinary patents, it was a revolutionary and destructive technology with a huge ripple effect thatpletely overturned human civilization and the world''s life, so each country was fighting fiercely behind the scenes. And Korea also jumped on the bandwagon. [Please provide rted technical information as it is necessary for self-verification of the side effects of virtual reality on the human body. There is no need to worry too much because the state will ensure that the source technology is not leaked, so there is no need to worry too much. Ajin Electronics openly ignored the government''s request, saying, What kind of dog barking is this? However, the South Korean government''s request became more and more persistent and tant. [I will tell you directly. For the sake of the national interest, please provide everything that Ajin Electronics knows about the technology that implements virtual reality. If you do that, the virtual reality business in Korea will run smoothly without any problems. But if not.... you will regret it.] A technology extortion operation that involved the president and intelligence agencies such as the National Intelligence Service. If Ajin Electronics had developed virtual reality technology independently, it might have been stolen as if it had opened its eyes and cut its nose, but unfortunately, virtual reality technology was not unique to Ahjin Electronics. American giants. Silicoff Bio Industries. Argos Corporation. A technology created through arge-scale project promoted with US megacorps, pioneers and rulers of the bio and IT industries. That''s why the Korean government and the US government were both blind, so they couldn''t openly threaten and rip them off, and all they could do was to grieve at the non-cooperative Ajin Electronics and set up a trespass. [Kuhmm..... Regarding the enactment of virtual reality legition, it is not toote to introduce it slowly and step by step while looking at the situation in other countries. What would you do if you recklesslymercialized a rted technology and discovered even fatal side effects? In this case, it is wise to cross the stone bridge while tapping. Keuheumhum.....] Anyway, the Korean government has no intention of granting rted permits for the time being. During the fierce battle between the greedy government and Ajin Electronics, which covets virtual reality technology, it was the industry officials who were enthusiastic about the new technology called virtual reality and were salivating when it would be released. -Fuck, they say that Lucid Dream will be released in the US soon. When will wee out? -Aren''t the real development staff going out of date? Those who need to respond most sensitively to industry trends and trends that change day by day. This was especially true when it came to innovative technologies that overthrew the current board. -For now, I need to get lost in Arcadia Co., Ltd. -how? They say there are no public loans there? -I have to put in the application form somehow with my existing career. While such famous developers are knocking on Arcadia''s door one after another, in a lecture room at Seomin University, an employee eagerly exins to the students who are looking at him curiously about the lucid dream that developers greedily aspire to. was doing Using this equipment, we can convert the elements we want to implement into virtual reality into data. To put it in a way that you can easily understand, um.... How about a trantor that converts human imagination into machinenguage thatputers can understand? Although he was exining in a very nonchnt tone, the students who listened to the staff muttered self-deprecating voices with faces that seemed lost. Does that make sense...? What fantasy is this? Converting human imagination...? Wow..... Really... Wow..... Beforeing here, the students had only tinkered with programs using the Cnguage or Python. So they could know. It''s like a monster that far transcends the existingmon sense of the device that is ced in front of them now. I... I have a question! Yes, student there. tell me What are you curious about? A question raised by someone who couldn''t contain their curiosity. He asked with a look of great anticipation, his really twinkling eyes shining. How exactly do you recognize and convert electrical signals sent by your brain? And I don''t think the signal sent by the brain is perfectly the same for each person. Are there any errors that ur in that part? Oh, and how many things can be implemented with this, and exactly in what way to use it..... Questions that are pouring in with rapid fire without end. The staff member, who listened intently to his question mixed with excessive enthusiasm, raised his hand and interrupted the student. Wait. When you ask so many questions, it''s hard for me to answer. Ah... Im sorry. I am so excited. A student who realizes that he said too much and apologizes with a slightly flushed face. At his words, the employee nodded and opened his mouth. it''s okay. It can be. First of all, to answer the student''s first question... In fact, we don''t even know. yes....? ...? ...? Students who put question marks on their faces atpletely unexpected answers. The staff talked to them as if it was natural. Just because we use aputer and drive a car doesn''t mean we understand every detail of it, right? We don''t know exactly how exactly electromaic signals are generated in the brain when humans think and act, and how lucid dreams recognize them and convert them into data. That''s exactly what only the developers who made this thing know. The developer of Lucid Dream. None of the students in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering were ignorant of an issue that has recently stirred up society, so everyone nodded as if they understood what the staff member was saying. Still, fortunately I can answer the second and third questions. First of all, the signals that the brain sends to each person are different. Although it is a simr pattern, each person''s unique electromaic signal is different, so adjustments must be made in advance. At the employee''s words, Jaeyoung and Jaekyun, who had experienced lucid dreams, exchanged nces. And whether the two of them did it or not, the staff standing on the podium continued with a slight frown as if it were a little ambiguous. Lastly, if you ask how many things can be implemented with this and exactly how it can be used... I personally would like to answer infinite. buzz buzz. The lecture room is slightly agitated by those words. Everyone was making puzzled faces as if they couldn''t guess exactly, but the student who asked the question raised his hand and asked again carefully. I don''t quite understand what you mean exactly by... infinite... A question that definitely made me more timid than before. To that question, the staff stared nkly at the student and asked back with a smile. Are there limits to human imagination? * * * After some exnation of Lucid Dream. Professor Kim Tae-Hoon smiled heartily as he saw the students who went inside the machine and experienced it. How is it? Are there any students who show a little bit of quality? The staff who kept going through the documents while checking what the students were doing in the capsule on the monitor. He answered Professor Taehoon Kim''s question with a slightly dry face. Ummm... Well, I dont think there are any students who are that special yet. In order to effectively use this lucid dream, a high synchro rate must precede it... To be honest, there are no students in this ssroom who have such impressively high levels. I think you''d better not expect too much, Professor. An employee who only takes honest facts andshes out. At those words, Professor Kim Tae-hoon muttered, licking his lips, as though his bones were hurting, but knowing that it was a cold fact that did not contain any emotion, he just regretted it. Um... thats unfortunate. I was wondering if there was a student who could be confirmed as a special hire... The agreement between Seomin University and Arcadia Co., Ltd. was made through a transaction with Jaeyoung. Among the details of the agreement, there was a provision that Arcadia Co., Ltd. could discover outstanding students and hire them immediately upon graduation, so Professor Kim Tae-hun had a lot of strange expectations for this time. Whats surprising is...that student Jaeyoung Yoon? The synchro rate is amazing, but the grades are much lower than expected. Is that so? An employee who does not turn his head away from the monitor while looking at the relevant data with a sharp eye. He nodded, checking carefully to make sure he hadn''t missed anything. yes. It''s not worse than the others... but it''s just average usage. To be honest, if you show off such an insane synchro rate, it won''t be a synchronization problem with the device... An employee who didn''t finish what he was saying while lengthening his tongue. Professor Kim Tae-hun could not bear to wonder if he was curious about thest words and urged him. What if it''s not a synchronization problem? Then what is it for? At that, the staff spoke to Professor Kim Tae-hoon with a more serious face than ever. Hes just a friend with no imagination. Four imaginations? yes. Its really, really ignorantly, to the level of living without ever imagining it. ..... Professor Kim Tae-hoon stood with his mouth wide open as if he was taken aback by the staff members words. Leaving him alone, the staff looked at the real-time implementation situation being broadcast on the screen in front of the ssroom again, and soon shut down the system. Push Sisik. Thepressed air is exhausted and a studentes out of the capsule holding his head as if dizzy. The staff spoke formally to him. You may feel dizzy or lightheaded temporarily, but if you sit down and rest for a while, you will be fine soon. great job. Then, next time... A student returning to his seat after experiencing a lucid dream. The employee checked the list to see who hadn''t done it yet and said. Finally, you are thest student. Jaekyun Lim. Lim Jae-gyun student? Yes...yes! Jae-kyun raises his hand with a nervous face at those words. As everyone in the ssroom looked at him, he flinched and shrank. The staff smiled and asked in afortable voice. Shall we check how much the students imagination is? Chapter 136 Chapter 136 The real thing is imaginative! (3) Would you like to check the level of imagination of the student? However, unlike Jaekyun''s face, which seemed extremely nervous, the atmosphere in the ssroom was rxed. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it''s finally over. It''s fun when I''m doing it, but it''s boring watching others do it. Thats right. Whether you do it or imagine it, thats what it is, so it was just exactly the same. Students experiencing lucid dreaming for the first time. Therefore, the things they realized through imagination in the capsule were just basic objects or backgrounds. Still, didnt Tae-soo implement it quite well? Is that so? Hes the only one who embodies not just objects or backgrounds, but even characters. Hey, take that off. To be honest, to be called a person, he is almost at the level of a mannequin. Quack. That''s right. The lecture hall is getting louder as the students are chatting with each other, probably more rxed than before. It was also because of Professor Kim Tae-hoon, who was so focused on lucid dreaming that he couldn''t pay attention to other students, but it was especially important that it was Jae-gyun''s turn, who usually doesn''t get attention from other ssmates. Hey, Tae-soo. But who are you trying to implement? I was like some kind of girl. A question asked by a friend who is close to Tae-soo. However, Tae-soo said nervously with a frown on his face. I dont know. just nobody I was trying to make it in my imagination. Hmm... so? I don''t think so... Tae-soo reacted too violently, though he was suspicious of something. His aggressive reaction made his friend look at him strangely, but he didn''t ask any further. Haa..... It really looks like X.'' A lucid dream that can realize individual imagination into reality. What Tae-soo tried to realize by entering the device was none other than Chae-yeon, whom he kept his eyes on. I was going to confess here so that I couldn''t even lose it...'' Tae-soo had a strange crush on her since high school. That''s why he courted all kinds of things and followed him every day, but he still wasn''t Chaeyeon''s boyfriend. [Chae Yeon-ah, I have something to tell you...] [Huh? Oh wait, I''m doing something.....] [Chae Yeon-ah, I''m actually you.....] [Taesoo, there''s a cockroach on your head.] [Chae Yeon-ah...] [Kyaa! It''s fire!] I don''t know if it''s intentional or coincidental, but every time he tries to confess, strange situations happen, or Chae-yeon utters strange words that ruin the atmosphere and blocks Tae-soo''s mouth. He was getting tired of her hitting the iron wall as if he was wearing some kind of self-defense weapon. And a lucid dream that came to him unexpectedly. Tae-soo, who saw this, cheered inwardly. This is it!'' Tae-soo has known Chae-yeon since high school. He knew her unique character better than anyone else. [I really want to get a really special confession if I ever get a boyfriend.] [A special confession?] [Yeah. A confession that no one has ever received! If it''s just a confession, I''ll be disappointed and reject it.] [What''s that... You''re really unique too.] Chaeyeon has a strange taste that puts a lot of meaning into confessions. Knowing her taste, Tae-soo had no choice but to withdraw with tears in his eyes every time he made an extraordinary moment of confession, but when it got distorted into an absurd situation and became ambiguous. If only that was properly used...'' That''s why Tae-soo saw the lucid dream and immediately recalled the best situation he had imagined in his head. A plentiful snowfall and a darkened alley illuminated by streetlights. The image of two lovers making a low confession under the light of a streetmp. Imagining that, Tae-soo tried to show his feelings to Mancheon-ha and Chae-yeon through lucid dreams. Of course, that attempt was distorted by a pitiful imagination. Hmm..... Although the level of implementation was disastrously low, I still have to praise the effort to implement the background, the weather, and even the characters. But it''s my first time trying it, and honestly, I''m greedy for trying toprehensively implement all of that. Embodying imagination is not about thinking in a general way, but you have to clearly shape everything one by one. The situation ended with the implementation of only an unknown form, not this or that. After finishing the demonstration of Lucid Dream, I had no choice but to be dumbfounded by the question of a staff member who looked genuinely curious. By the way... what the hell were you imagining and trying to implement? Tae-soo, who returned to his seat after being publicly humiliated for his confession and sphemy. He was not in a good mood, but he had no choice but to distort his face at Chae-yeon, who waved his hand and cheered Jae-kyun with a friendly smile. Jaegyun! Go for it! Yes! Go for it....! Jae-kyun enters the capsule with his hands clenched and a nervous face. Seeing him like that, Tae-soo murmured as if he was pitiful without even realizing it. Ha..... Really, every single action you do is like that. Quack. Did you think so too? It seems like youve seen too many Japanese cartoons. Its a waste of time anyway. After all, such a small-minded bastard is always imagining strange things at home, but he must be cheap on strange things that only make him repulsive. Uh..... Hey, since you say that, it really reminds me of what that pig is doing at home. Ugh... Looking at Tae-soo''s friend who was disgusted with an expression full of disgust, as if he had imagined something that shouldn''t have been imagined, Jae-yeong muttered in a loud voice as if to ask everyone to listen. ...I''m sure it''s not at a level that idiots who aren''t me or I will evaluate. what? Tae-soo turned his head around and red at him with menacing eyes, as if he had clearly heard what Jae-young intended. He looked at Jaeyoung with a hostile look on his face and growled. Did you just call us idiots? I didnt mean to listen, but you said such stupid things that I should be able to keep my mouth shut and listen. This bastard... did you say everything? Tae-soo exuded a formidable spirit as if he would run at that word at any moment. However, Jaeyoung did not shrink at all and looked at them with a smile full of ridicule and said. What you said about Jaekyun isnt wrong. Even I can see what he does sometimes, it''s so real'' that it''s not once or twice that I get mad. Especially when he has a crush on Chae-yeon andpares himself with Tae-soo, making only sullen noises that drain his energy every time. An action full of love that is twisted and persistent enough to be not strange even if you are arrested as a stalker and end up in a detention center. To be honest, although Jaeyoung was a friend of Jaekyun conscientiously, he thought that there was nothing to say even if people cursed at him in such a real'' part. But... because he''s such a real'' guy, he can''t get along with people, and he''s lived with very poor social skills, so he''s notpletely ignoring his talents. Especially if you can''t keep up with his toes. what....? What the hell does that mean... Tae-soo looks confused as if he doesn''t understand the meaning of the words. But he couldn''t finish the question he was asking Jaeyoung. omg! What is that! Wow... what is it? Are you realizing this with your imagination? The implementation status of Lucid Dream being broadcast on therge screen in front of the ssroom. While others have shown me implementing a few clumsy objects against a white background, what I see on screen now is on a different level. A super-luxurious mansion where a splendid ball is held. Delicious-looking food and sweet music that make your mouth water even just by looking at it. And dozens of hundreds of people eating, drinking,ughing and chatting all over the ce were huddled together, each doing a different action, showing a lively appearance. Does this make sense...? As well as the background... How many people are there? One person... no, just students who have experienced that it is not that easy to implement a in grass field. That''s why they muttered as they looked at the situation unfolding in front of them with dismayed faces, as if they couldn''t believe it. [Ohhh! What a beautiful person you are. I am Hans Braim, the eldest son of Count Braim. If it''s not rude, may I ask thedy''s name?] [....My name is Irene.] [If it''s not rude to ask for this in the first meeting... Would you mind dancing with me? ?] Hans held out his hand and asked politely. Irene responded with a charming smile while holding his hand. [I''m not very good at dancing... but please take good care of me.] The two of them started dancing to such upbeat music. When everyone is immersed in the beauty of the handsome man and woman, to the extent that just looking at them makes Dad''s smile and Mom''s smile flow out. A friend who was close to Chaeyeon asked her in a low voice. Hey Chaeyeon. The female protagonist over there... somehow looks very simr to you? Tilt your head and ask with a strange gaze. Chaeyeon nkly stared at the scene on the screen at her friend''s question. And then, with a smile that I couldn''t understand the meaning of, he said. I know? I''m not sure. But the female lead is very pretty. The male lead is also handsome! right....? If a man like that asks me to dance... Ha, I really wish... Motivation murmured with a sigh of regret knowing that the situation could only happen in one''s imagination. While Chaeyeon was talking with her, she began to hear the startled cry of the employee who had been consistent with a dry expression until now. This crazy...! This... what is this! I don''t know what it means, but it''s a graph that rises vertically to the extent that it can''t even bepared with others. Professor Kim Tae-hoon had many questions, but he couldn''t bear to ask them at the momentum of the staff member who was busy checking things with his eyes wide enough to worry that his eyes would protrude after seeing it. Synchronization rate 17%...? fuck! The level of synchronization with the device is also low, but the implementation is this much...? Does this make sense now? An employee with a face in shock, spitting out curses as if he couldn''t believe the situation that was happening in front of his eyes more than anyone else. He rushed to Professor Taehoon Kim next to him and asked as if he were interrogating him. professor! this friend! what the hell are you guys doing? yes? Aren''t you an alien? No..... that''s... uh... Is that student human?'' When Professor Tae-Hoon Kim, whose soul went out of his mind because he didn''t know what to answer to hispletely unexpected question, Tae-Hoon, with a dumbfounded expression, was also speechless, and Tae-Soo also had a face very simr to Professor Tae-Hoon Kim''s, with his mouth open. What kind of nonsense is this right now... Tae-soo muttered with a bewildered face as if he couldnt believe the present reality without realizing it. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung whispered in a tone full of ridicule, feeling proud that Jaegyun was his friend for the first time. That is the power of real. Chapter 137 Chapter 137 The real thing is imaginative! (4) Lucid Dream, a virtual reality integrated production machine. Unlike Dreamer, this device that realizes human imagination as data was not developed for popr purposes and uses. At least 20%. It has been confirmed through various experiments and cases that the efficiency decreases rapidly when a person with a lower synchro rate uses this lucid dream. To be honest, 20% is also the minimum, and I believe that in order to be active as a creator who utilizes this lucid dream, you must be able to show a synchro rate of at least 25%. Synchro rate, a topic where the concept of virtual reality was born in reality and began to be intensively studied. An index that indicates how smoothly different human brains interact with mechanical devices. People with high levels of this could stand out and y an active role in the virtual reality-rted industry, so Arcadia Co., Ltd. was also focusing on finding people with a high synchro rate. Until now. [Can I show you a magic?] [Magic...? Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...?] After dancing for a long time, the two pretty boys and girls went out to the terrace. Then the man picked up the woman in the dress and began to rise into the air. And the frightened woman soon grabbed the man''s chest and looked around at the surrounding scenery and said with an ecstatic expression. [It''s really... beautiful...] People having a happy time chatting under such beautiful nature with arge moon shining around the castle where the ball was held, where they ate, drank, and danced. The man whispered to the woman who was looking at all this in wonder and charm. [Your beauty is much more beautiful to me.] Kyaaaaaaa! Aww stop! Please stop! My hand! my feet! Aaaaaaaa! Space-time shrinks! Those who nkly watched the scene appearing in the video. But soon, as ifing back to his senses from the cheesy remarks that seemed to have matured for decades, he grabbed his hands and feet here and there and started screaming in agony. In particr, the reaction of the woman who seemed to be Chaeyeon''s friend was particrly intense. crazy! That''s not a total pervert! The woman''s face looks exactly like Chaeyeon. Didn''t Chaeyeon make this video while imagining it? uh? Come to think of it... She really resembles Chaeyeon, right? for a moment....? Then the man in the video over there is...? Those who carefully examine the faces of the male and female protagonists at the exposure thrown almost as if using them. Although the man''s face waspletely different from Jae-gyun''s, it was clear that he was a different person, but the female protagonist''s face was very simr to Chae-yeon''s, so everyone naturally came up with one idea. Isn''t that bastard, Chaeyeon, going around thinking about XXXX and XXXXX?'' And at that moment, violent reactions began to burst out here and there. No, was that possible for daily life? What kind of delusions do you usually have? Fuck, if you go around thinking like that, can you date? Aren''t you crazy? Ooh! dirty! No matter how good-looking peoplee and say that, that''s not the real thing. Kyaaak! Students who have already suffered serious internal injuries from a video that they cannot bear to watch with their eyes open. When they showed their hostility and resented Jae-gyun''s atrocities (?), Professor Kim Tae-hoon and the staff calmed the students down with a puzzled face. Haa..... Really, that asshole.....'' The unbearable shriveling and greasy feeling pouring out of the video. That was a problem enough, but Jaeyoungmented at Jaekyun''s stupidity, who modeled the female protagonist''s face on Chaeyeon. As I showed before, I would just implement survival or majestic things, but I don''t know what kind of mentality was used to implement this kind of romance fantasy, but one thing was certain. With this, Jaekyun''s reputation fell to the bottom. Chae Yeon! Let''s report that! Who knows what ugly thoughts that filthy pervert might have had with you? that''s right! You can''t just skip this! Perverts like that need to be thoroughly harpooned! As if determined to hang Jae-Gyun, they roar with a burning fighting spirit. And just in time, at that moment, as thepressed air of Lucid Dream was exhausted, the lid slowly began to open. ...? And Jae-kyun, who appeared with an innocent expression as if he knew nothing in the pouring hideous atmosphere. But he soon found out because of the cries of usation. Ooooh! transformation! dirty! Ugly pot of desire! Ive never been in a rtionship because I was so cheesy! It means that his green college life is as expected. * * * Professor Kim Tae-Hoon, who hurriedly finished ss and dismissed his seat due to the madness of the students who tried to hang and burn Jae-Gyun. He was talking with an Arcadia employee with a serious face in an empty ssroom after everyone had left. Is the level that Jaekyun showed me just now that high? Virtual reality integrated production machine Lucid Dream. Since nothing was known about the detailed data of the machine itself and its actual usability yet, Professor Kim Tae-hun couldn''t help but ask questions about his shocking reaction. Are you great? Sure. If I hadnt seen the data presented here, I would have doubted that the synchro rate was measured incorrectly. An employee holding the previously measured synchro rate result in both hands and shaking it. He enthusiastically exined to Professor Kim Tae-hun why this was so surprising, as if the word great was not enough. There is nothing wrong with Jaegyuns synchro rate. 17%. It''s a higher than average number, but it''s still not enough to use Lucid Dream freely. By the way... such a person so smoothly implemented a story into a video and solved it again? This is an exceptional situation to the extent that we have topletely readjust the direction of the project we are currently pursuing. A project promoted by Arcadia Co., Ltd. An ultra-long-term project to carefully select those with high synchro rates and nurture them into talented people who will lead the virtual reality industry. However, the appearance of Jae-gyun was nothing short of showing them another possibility. Although the implementation rate of returning students is lowpared to others. Compared to the people who work in our Arcadia design team, they show significantly lower efficiency. When given the same job, a person who processes 10 and a person who processes 100 will definitely show an iparable efficiency gap. However, in the case of Jae-gyun, it was a little different. The amount of imagination this guy is trying to bring to life is... more than anyone I''ve ever seen. With a low synchro rate, the power of implementation that inevitably falls is being released with a tremendous amount of imagination. That''s also really nonsensical. quantity over quality. One of the graphs of Jaekyun printed on paper, as if to rece theck of realization with an overwhelming amount, was sticking out by itself as if there was no ceiling. Professor Kim Tae-hoon did not know exactly how great that number was, but he could roughly guess it by watching his reaction. To be honest... even our chief designer couldn''t imagine everything so perfectly and so instantaneously. If you''re trying to make a story out of a perfect video like this... even if you spend all day working on it, it will take at least a week or two. What do you mean...? A video of about 5 to 10 minutes. Of course, I thought that it would not be an easy task because it was full of liveliness enough to believe that even if it was a real scene taken with a camera, but the fact that even the chief designer had to sell out for two weeks, professor Kim Tae-hoon''s face was dark. stained with astonishment Because of the atmosphere, I couldn''t talk directly with the students before, but... After reporting the results, maybe an official proposal wille from thepany... No, it probably will. When you see these results, the design team will roll their eyes ande back to school. That means... Before Professor Kim Tae-hun finished his words, the staff member smiled strangely and said. Congrattions, Professor. It seems that Seomin University has the first special recruitment schrship student from Arcadia Co., Ltd. for exchange and cooperation. * * * Professor Kim Tae-hoon and Arcadia staff are talking about Jae-gyun''s future. Jaekyun sat across from Jaeyoung in the school cafeteria and slumped his face on the table with a miserable expression on his face. Jaeyoung.... Why am I so stupid? Jae-gyun asks with a face in a great sense of shame. In response to his question, Jaeyoung had so much to say, but suppressed all her desires with superhuman patience. Dont worry about what other people think. The more you do that, the more strange it looks. Haa..... Really, why did I do that? Ill just make something normal. Jae-gyun, who has already been branded as a pervert, has his own ugly imaginations for Chae-yeon. In that fact, he put on a really miserable face and regretted and regretted the atrocities he hadmitted. Rather than that... is it true that you imagined the real Chaeyeon? To be honest, Jaeyoung was also curious. At that question, Jaekyun put on an indescribable expression and then nodded his head with a bitter face as if he had given up. ....that''s right. Wow.....Real trash..... Jaekyun, who has be a real pervert who can''t justify anything. Jaeyoung was speechless and unknowingly looked at Jaekyun with disgust at the fact that he created such a cheesy romance fantasy with the faces of the third person, not even a misunderstanding. Haa..... Looking at Jaeyoung''s eyes, Jaekyun sighed deeply again with a dark face. Seeing his reaction, Jaeyoung asked with a worried face. Wouldnt it be better for you to go and apologize to Chaeyeon? If you report this to the police and make a fuss about what you are doing, you think you could be in a very difficult situation? This advice was given because Chaeyeon''s friends were already whispering something to Chaeyeon and plotting something. At those words, Jaekyun said with a dying face. I think I should too... But...? Jaekyun hesitates as if he can''t bear to speak. He hesitated for a while, then vomited out the unspeakable words as if in a sigh. Oh, I dont know... Looking at Chaeyeons face right now, I feel ashamed and Im going to go up to the school roof and jump off, so I cant. And at that moment, someone from behind answered Jae-kyun''s words. oh? Why are you embarrassed? Chae Chae Chae Chae Yeon?! Jaekyun looked back with trembling eyes at the voice he had heard somewhere. When he saw Chae-yeon standing behind him with a bright smile, he almost fell from his chair in fright. You want to jump off the roof? Were you ashamed to talk to me like that? uh? Ah... yes..... that''s..... Jae-gyun, who was unable to say anything, trembling all over his body. Chaeyeon, who was looking at him nkly, smiled. Puff..... Its cute too. Yes....? Chae Yeon-ah, what did you just say...? I don''t care what other people say, don''t worry about it. I don''t think of you as a pervert who fantasizes strangely or as a nasty stalker. Chaeyeon''s reaction was that she didn''t care at all about her appearance. In response to her reaction, Jaeyoung began to seriously ponder whether that was cool or crazy. And her next words were even more impressive. And I will reject your confession. To be honest, the confession itself wasn''t bad, so I was a little excited, but I still don''t know anything about you properly. what....? what....? Recurrence of the shocked face. And Jaeyoung, who seemed even more shocked than that. Chaeyeon said with a strange smile to the two who were standing there nkly as if they had been hit by a petrochemical beam. After walking around with me a little longer and getting to know each other... Challenge me with a more colorful confession. Then I''ll think about it again. And that day, Jaeyoung realized. That there are so many people in this world with strange and unique tastes (?). And that there is a pair of straw sandals. Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Channel management is hard! (1) Jaeyoung spent a leisurely evening without essing the game for the first time in a while. He answered the phone call with a puzzled expression as he checked who the caller was. Your representative. [hello! Choco Pie Joe! I''m sorry to call you like this in the evening, but... are you avable right now?] It''s almost 7:00 in the evening now. It seems that the time off work has already passed, but Jae-young answered the voice of CEO Seo-wook Jo, who seemed to be still working because of something important. I can talk, but what are you doing? [Ah..... that''s not it..... All the videos you sent me have been uploaded, but there are a lot of conflicting stories in thements section. So far, I''ve been consistent with no response, but I still have to exin to some extent, so I called.] What are you talking about? Jaeyoung doesn''t quite understand what he''s talking about. When I asked again with a tilt of my head, CEO Jo Seo-wook muttered as if it was difficult to exin in words. [That''s... It''s probably easier to talk about by going directly to the channel.] At that, Jaeyoung turned on herputer and connected to Arpendia. And he made an absurd expression when he saw thements filling up his channel. - rify! - rify! - rify! . . . What is this? Comments asking for rification that filled thement window endlessly. Surprisingly, it was not one person who maliciously spread the paper, but several people gathered in one mind and expressed their dissatisfaction by leaving the samements. [Haa..... That''s it.....] CEO Seowook Cho started talking with a deep sigh. ording to him, this started about a month ago when thest video was uploaded. [Come on.... The hammer is out, you bastards.] A video revealing the power-hungry that GM''s upper management group used to take control of trade with the Dwarves. Dex appeared in the video where various videos including those sent by Apple and Lemon were intertwined. His appearance drew more people''s eyes and attention than usual, and at the same time, he attracted the attention of those who should never touch him. - Dex? Dex was here...? -Haa..... Our Dex Jjaung. The hammer is really big and huge. - I want to see one hit over there. How much damage will it take? -Anyone going to die from being hit by a dex hammer? Recruiting party members. Those who dirty thement window by saying things that make you chill just by looking at them. When ites to things rted to Dex, they are terribly obsessed with bizarre entricities that are digging everywhere and nowhere. What color are Dex''s panties?'' Guild members of the guild. They came to Jaeyoung''s channel and started lying down. - What kind of rtionship does the owner here have with Dex, so he posted this video? - Eye plus...? Could it be that Dex didn''t sign a contract with you? -What do you mean, does anyone know Dex-chan''s identity? -Hahaha..... Then can you go and ask for XXXX and XXXX? A channel that started running all sorts of filthy and creepyments that wouldn''t be strange even if aint was lodged in the police station. The employees of iPlus, which manages Jaeyoung''s channel, tried to delete theirments as much as possible, but that actually had the opposite effect of irritating them. -what? Why did you delete myment? - Are you sure you''re censoringments now? Aren''t you aware of freedom of expression? -Are you going to try it with us now? Kkeuk. And from then on, thement war between iPlus and Deckfanmu started. However, the winner was, surprisingly, Deck Fan Mu. - rify! - rify! - rify! . . . I don''t know what you''re asking me to exin, but anyway,ments running in real time asking me to exin. The employees of iPlus responded by deleting thements one by one and blocking the user, but they were not able to suppress it to that extent. So... are you saying youve been deleting and blockingments all day? Even now, every time I refresh, hundreds ofments asking for rification seem to pour in. Considering that all the users whomented were different, it was a serious situation to know that this was not turning auto, but that hundreds of people were lying down with protestments even at this moment. [Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa''s I really don''t know what to say... I haven''t been able to do anything for 2 weeks now, and all the staff are working on deletingments and blocking users, but the situation is getting worse instead of calming down. ] The worst situation is that if you delete hundreds or thousands ofments, thousands or tens of thousands of newments will appear in that time. Of course, it wasn''t entirely their fault, but Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh and said at the fact that he provoked dangerous beings that he shouldn''t have dared to touch. Ha..... No, even if you touch them, why are you touching these people? What a scary ce this is. When you look at each and every one of them, who are everywhere and nowhere, they are ordinary people who are ordinary and not at all unusual, but strangely, beings who are obsessed with things rted to Dex, giving goosebumps just by looking at them, and engage in bizarre entricities. CEO Jo Seo-wook couldnt say anything at Jae-youngs reprimanded sigh. [I''m really sorry. We only heard about it, but we didn''t know that people here were so scary..... This is entirely thepany''s fault. I, the CEO, will apologize once again.] ..... Jae-young, who has stepped forward like that and is apologizing by calling himself and apologizing, but Jae-young, who is older, can''t bear to say anything regretful. He said while holding his throbbing head after seeing thements of Deck Fan Mu pouring in real time even now. For now... I understand the situation. Are you calling to tell me about this? [yes. That''s the same.... If you don''t mind being rude, I have something to ask you.] A favor? Jae-Young, puzzled by CEO Seo-Wook Cho''s request, asks. CEO Jo Seo-wook asked him in a very cautious tone. [yes. Well... I decided that it would be easier to calm the situation if I uploaded a video featuring a person named Dex..... Since Choco Piejoa is close with Dex, please tell me the current situation and ask us to take a video together. Can I ask for your cooperation...?] ..... Dex appearing in the video uploaded to expose the corruption of GM before. Jae-young, who had been arguing about the circumstances of filming the video, saying that it was a personal acquaintance, was confused at CEO Seo-wook Cho''s request. What about this...?'' [Ho, if you''re having a hard time, can we ask you to give us a call at least once? I would like to talk to you directly and ask you.] CEO Jo Seo-wook is trying to somehow take responsibility for this situation. Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh at his heartbreaking and earnest request. That is me. [Yes...?] As if time stopped at those words, I couldn''t hear a word from the receiver. However, Jae-young, who noticed that the phone was not disconnected because he could hear CEO Seo-wook Cho''s strangely rough breathing, continued. At that time, I didnt want to reveal it, so I didnt talk about it, but Choco Piejoa is a character disguised as an item, and my real character nickname is Dex. Dex. Korea... no, the nickname that shook many games in the past as the world''s strongest yer. Realizing that the existence of the deck fan dance was the person who was talking to him right now, CEO Jo Seo-wook''s scream-like question rang through the receiver. [Is that really?!] His question burst out with a bang. Being caught off guard, Jaeyoung, who was hit by a sonic attack, grabbed his deaf ears and said with a frown. Don''t get excited. First of all, lets talk about this slowly after properly organizing the current situation. [yes....? Ah yes! I see!] CEO Seo-wook Cho, who seemed to want to ask something, returned to the original subject at Jae-young''s words. Jaeyoung listened to him about what had happened so far and began to organize the situation in detail. You mean deck fan clubs have been lying on thement section for almost two weeks now, causing a fuss? What rtionship did this video have with Dex? [That''s right. Choco Piejoa... No, Dex-nim forbids any exposure of personal information, so we received a lot of inquiries by phone, even if it wasn''t ament, but we haven''t responded in any way until now.] Sometimes in the game Dex, who appeared but never made a public appearance. That''s why his appearance was an element that could stimte many users of deck fan dance. Because these guys'' firepower is also firepower.... This is how it turned out.....'' Everything they do or think is scary enough to give goosebumps. As you can tell just by looking at the name of the guild, they are curious about the color of their underwear and proud of the name of the guild. Until now, Jae-young had avoided meeting them face-to-face. However, he realized that he had to face them with dignity, not back down. Hey, Mr. Representative. [Yes.] First of all... I keep the fact that I am Dex a secret from the other employees. Only the CEO knows about this fact, and tell the other employees that it is just a close rtionship with me. [Ah yes! I see.] And... I''ll make a video to calm down this situation myself and upload it. [yes? Are you uploading it yourself?] CEO Cho Seo-wook asked back as if wondering about that statement. At his words, Jaeyoung muttered to himself with strange eyes shining. yes. I had something I wanted to say to these guys before. * * * Im back. Yes, rice is on the table. Eat dinner before theputer. yes. College student Mingyu returns from school. He munched on the rice prepared by his mother and casually connected to Arpandia on his cell phone. uh....? And one video that appears right at the top. Seeing this, Mingyu''s eyes widened and he even dropped the spoon he was eating. Dex brother? The destroyer''s daily life channel that hey down and burned hard. In the newly uploaded video there, Dex is talking to him with an annoyed face. [Talking to the fucking deck fans who keep making a fuss here on the channel.] It''s the real Dex! Dex shown above the character. Watching it, Mingyu felt an indescribable thrill and focused on the video while holding the phone with both hands, leaving behind the meal he had been eating as if he would not miss a single second. Dex frowned as he mentioned all of the deck fans, including Mingyu. He dered to them with genuine contempt and disgust in his eyes. [I''m filming a video to talk only about the part where you lie down to exin. First of all, I know Choco Pie Joa and I personally, and we talked about uploading my videos here and there from now on. No one knows my personal information on Iplus, so please don''t call them and ask about me. It''s a crime and it''s stalking, so if you don''t want to get sued in real life, please stop doing weird things. If you really twist it, the game will be abandoned.] Heeik...! Are you giving up the game? The thing that deck fan clubs feared the most from long ago. It was Dex quitting the game they were enjoying. And thanks to the many experiences he had in various games, Jaeyoung knew very well what they feared most. [So, behave well in the future. Because if you keep making me disrespectful, I might just quit the game altogether.] After threatening (?) not threatening to quit Arcadia, he cut off the video with hisst words. [And my panties are ck, you fucking perverts. Are you okay?] Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Channel management is hard! (2) The daily life of a destroyer who causes all sorts of issues with Arpendia''s hot potato. Deckfanmoo, who lies down to exin on this channel and pollutes thement window, was a guild with its own history and tradition (?) that followed Dex in countless games and admired him endlessly. -If you y a game with Dex, you won''t have any wishes. -lol. The dream is big too. I''m satisfied with Dex just once. - I want to lick Dex''s hair just once When Dex appeared in the game while ying on the bulletin board like that, Dex''s response to those who had expressed this twisted affection without hiding it was always the same. [Dex has logged out.] -Ah ..... Today too .....- Haah ..... This is left y! - This is an industry reward!! log out. Close the connection or move to another channel. Dex, who hides in a ce that neither he nor anyone else knows, and does not respond. That''s why they sent all kinds of courtship (?) through all kinds of whispers and chats, but nothing came back from him. But today, after years of silence and ignoring him, he finally spoke. [So, behave well in the future. If you keep making me disrespectful, I could just quit the game altogether.] His threat to lie down properly before giving up on the game. It was the most terrifying and nightmare-like situation for Deck Fan Mu, so they stood up at his words. And at the end of the video, thest words he said to Deck Fan Mu with eyes full of disgust and contempt spread like a nuclear bomb. [And my panties are ck, you fucking perverts. Is it okay?] -Sword!!!!! is!!!!! color!!!!! -Finally..... Finally!!!! I knew the color of Dex''s panties!!!!! -ck..... As expected, you wear it in a luxurious color ? -I will also wear ck from today. - Shall we change our guild name from today? With a deck fan sword? - Ohhh! Agree on that! Sounds like a good idea. -??? hey. What is your concept? Are you serious? -What are thements over there? It''s fucking scary...? Normal people who don''t know much about Dex and perverts of abnormal sexual desire, Deck Fan Mu, arepatible, and thement window has be chaos itself. Jaeyoung, who was reading them one by one, sighed heavily with a tired face. Haa..... did I just tell you? Now they''re lying on something even weirder, those fucking perverts. Now, the dyssexuals are having in-depth discussions among themselves, saying that they will change the guild name from What color are Dex''s panties?'' to Dex''s panties are ck!'' I don''t know why he''s talking about that on his channel, but anyway, they were so insidious and creepy that ordinary people would naturally frown. For now... but if this is enough, it won''t be long before it subsides. How can those guys not move carelessly in a situation where they said they would fold it if they twisted it like that? A small cafe near Iplus. Jae-young, who purposely came to this ce where there was little traffic and met CEO Seo-wook Cho, sipped coffee with a relieved face as if he had solved everything. And CEO Jo Seo-wook looked at Jae-young with an indescribable expression and asked. Is that so? CEO Jo Seo-wook is the first person to experience the Deck Fan Mu crew. So, in a way, I wondered if it would have been better if I was looking at thement window that was burning explosively with a more strange meaning (?). yes. If there is no change even after one more week... then it really copses. Yes... Yes...? CEO Cho Seo-wook is shocked to hear that he will close the game. At his reaction, Jaeyoung smiled and said calmly. Its a joke, a joke. Why are you reacting so violently? Isnt it? Ugh. You were really surprised. Choco Pie Joea... no Dex. The influence he had was enormous, so he was an absolute must-have partner for CEO Seowook Jo or Iplus Co., Ltd., which has no BJ to speak of like this yet. So he bowed down to the young-looking man and politely apologized for this incident. Whatever it is, first of all, as the CEO of iPlus, I apologize for not being able to handle this smoothly. It was the first time for me or my staff to experience something like this, so I was embarrassed and couldn''t handle it smoothly. CEO Cho Seo-wook bows his head and apologizes first. Jaeyoung, who looked at his sincere apology with an expressionless face, immediately nodded and said. I will ept that apology. Honestly, there were a lot of things I wanted to say orin about the way I responded to this incident, but I don''t think it''s a reason to be at fault to the extent of canceling the contract, and I didn''t want to bother looking for another agency. ..... And I also liked the fact that it seemed to keep my personal informationpletely confidential, even cracking down on employees. To be honest, I signed a contract with the expectation that a phone call woulde from anywhere, whether it be a mediapany or a gamepany. It seems that the representative has a lot of people. Thank you. Jaeyoung''s candid evaluation of direct criticism and praise. Looking at CEO Seo-wook Cho, who was confused about how to answer that question, Jae-young revealed what he had envisioned. As I said before... I dont want the staff to know that I am Dex in the future. Just let me tell you that I have a personal rtionship with Dex, and it became a story by receiving and uploading various videos through me... Please exin it to this extent. Jae-young, who had a hard time acting as a Choco Piezoa in the game. That''s why he decided to raise Dex''s performance through the disguise of Choco Piezoa. However, CEO Cho Seo-wook had a slightly different idea. Should I do that? If that''s the case, I''d rather make another camouge channel... CEO Seowook Jo, the calctor in his head is running furiously. After learning that Jaeyoung was Dex, he wanted to create another channel to upload Dex videos. Choco Pie Joea is good, but if there is a channel that uploads Dex videos...?'' A Dex that has left phenomenal feats praised as legends in numerous games. Considering his reputation, CEO Jo Seo-wook held on to his strangely beating heart and carefully brought up the story in anticipation that a channel would be created that boasts an unprecedented monster-like number of subscribers and views that would change all records so far. . ..... However, Jae-young stares nkly at CEO Seo-wook Jo without saying anything. CEO Jo Seo-wook continued, swallowing saliva with nervous eyes in his eyes. If you upload Dexs video on the channel now, there are many side effects. First of all, there is a point that, like the current situation, ordinary people who like Choco Piejoa and perverts who are obsessed with the color of Dex panties are mixed together, causing unnecessary trouble and conflict. It does. Jaeyoung nodded as if he did not deny that fact. In response to his reaction, CEO Cho Seo-wook made a lot of noise with his eyes shining. Furthermore, channel differentiation is possible. Speaking from the management''s point of view... The videos uploaded by Choco Piejoa are very popr because they are stimting, fresh, and differentiated, but honestly, these are difficult topics to pursue for a long time. There are a lot of bad reviews. A video of training mining ves, a video revealing the GM group, a slime race war, and a war between angels and demons over the World Tree. All of them were special and unique, but it was true that they were not enough to maximize advertising fees from viewers by uploading various videos regrly. This is why Choco Paijoa''s channel is out of the top 100 in the overall channel rankings for advertising revenue, despite the huge number of views and subscribers. Hasnt it been almost 3 weeks since you uploaded thest video? Upload frequency, usually up to 3-4 if there are 2 a week. Considering that, it was a wiser choice to upload Dex''s videos by creating a new channel approaching apletely different topic. Considering the prestige of Dex, just wandering around town, hunting, clearing a quest or a dungeon will bring in advertising fees with a huge number of views. I''d rather n and do it properly... I''m sorry, CEO. yes. Jaeyoung, who was seriously listening to CEO Seowook Cho, cut off his words and said, I know what you''re thinking, but there''s a big problem. What problem are you talking about...? First of all, running Dexs channel directly attracts a lot of aggro. Are you talking about deck fan dance? I know that too... No, not there. Not there...? ah! CEO Jo Seo-wook realized what that meant. Jaeyoung said to him. Did I properly fuck GM with Dex? It is said that the entire GM group is shivering and going through all sorts of hardships because of that problem. Then what will happen? ..... Even though Iplus is reaching out to the top of GM, the Korean conglomerate group GM still dare not do anything about it. In fact, it was not a problem that CEO Seo-wook Cho could handle alone, going beyond their eyes and knowing that he was a member of the party with the person who properly fed the candy. And... to be honest, even though I trust the CEO, I honestly dont trust the employees under him. Are you talking about privacy? If that''s the case, I can assure you... There is a really big difference between keeping your mouth shut about Choco Paijoa''s personal information and keeping your mouth shut about Dex''s personal information. If you have topare it, it''s a world difference. What is that...? CEO Jo Seo-wook tilts his head at Jae-young''s words that he can''t understand. To him, Jaeyoung muttered self-mockingly as he waved an empty coffee cup with a bitter expression. Take my word for it. The beings called deck fans that you experienced firsthand this time... are really ubiquitous and nowhere else... they''re such beings. Actually it was. Jaeyoung''s school days. The story of Dex, who came out by chance while having a normal conversation. And a word from a close friend muttering with a really perverted face. [Haa..... I want to lick Dex''s face once...] It was from then. That is why Jaeyoung did not reveal that he was Dex to anyone, whether in the game or in real life. Once I get it...then Ill do as you say. I sent you a new video to upload via email. Let''s review it. It''s a video yed with Dex, just edit it. I will set the upload date. yes. We will check and get back to you. CEO Jo Seo-wook broke up with Jae-young like that. Jaeyoung''s bitter expression at the end was still in his eyes, and he inadvertently entered the office, wondering why he was so sensitive to personal information. uh? Is the boss here? An employee desperately trying to hide the fact that he came while doing something. In response to such a heterogeneous response, CEO Seo-wook Cho approached him with a curious look and asked. What is that? Ah, that''s.... There''s one thing called this time, but I set the wrong address and came to thepany. An employee desperately trying to hide it as if he was afraid that someone would see it. CEO Jo Seo-wook narrowed his eyes at his suspicious behavior. What. show me. This is really nothing... Are you stealingpany data? no way! president! Why would I? Otherwise, show me. I won''t say anything. At the words of CEO Seo-wook Cho, who asked him to show it with a real serious face, the employee slowly showed him what he was trying to hide with a hard face. ..... And after seeing that, Seowook Cho went back to his seat without saying anything. And for a while, only awkward silence lingered in the office. The thing the employee was trying so hard to hide. that''s right. These were ck men''s underpants. Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Act. 3 A meeting that is urgently convened several times a day with the fact that a new main scenario has begun. However, the majority of the issues decided through the meeting were sluggish or not very important than expected. If youre going to do this, why the hell are you calling an emergency meeting? All information is security grade? In a situation like this, there is nothing we can do no matter how much we prepare and respond. I mean..... From what I hear from the Crisis Management Response Team... Executive Director Kwon Myung-han said he didn''t know the details of the scenario. Its not just how the scenario started, but everything about the specific content of the scenario and its future direction and development. what? really? A main scenario with a powerful influence that shakes the entire continent of Arcadia. Of course, information about yers ying or information about things that can cause serious problems to the scenario is limited, but it was notmon for all information to be kept private in this way, so the team leaders and department heads of each department participating in the meeting were not shaken. I had no choice but to. Haa... How powerful is the content, so why are you keeping it such a thorough secret? Is that why executive director Kwon Myung-han keeps going back and forth to the presidents room? I dont know... Judging from the general atmosphere, it seemed that President Lee Mi-yeon was still struggling with whether or not he couldnt make an important decision, but... I dont know. Eh. Whatever it is, I just want you to call this fucking emergency meeting. Because of this, they are piled up without being able to do the work they need to do properly. that''s right. I''d rather get off work on time than that. If I do this now, he will forget my face. Rotten Dongtaenun employees sipping coffee with a deep sigh. President Lee Mi-yeon, whether aware of their struggles or not, was in the middle of a video conference with someone with a serious face sitting in her office. A user currently ying on the Arcadia 2 continent has met all the requirements for moving to another continent. A rted scenario has already been created, and Ellis judged that the scenario had started and assigned a rted quest to the user. I know you''re in the middle of that quest right now. CEO Lee Mi-yeon reports everything that has happened so far to someone as a reporter. Although she was the CEO and chief operator of Arcadia Co., Ltd., she had no choice but to be careful with truepany owners participating in video conferences. The owners of the threepanies that hold 99.9% of Arcadia''s shares. Mikhail, the CEO of Corporation Argos. Jenika, the head of Silicoff Bio Industries. Lee Jun-hee, the chairman of Ajin Group. And..... Jack, the creator of Arcadia and the actual chief operator who supports this huge virtual world. Those who heard President Lee Mi-yeon''s report made different expressions. Jack, whose eyes shine as if he is having fun, and Mikhail and Chairman Lee Jun-hee, who make expressions full of confusion and surprise. Lastly, even Jenika, who distorts her face with anger and annoyance. It was clear enough to know just by looking at their reactions that each of them had a different perspective and thoughts on this situation. [No, how long have you been going to another continent? Did we set the rted scenario difficulty so easily on the 2nd continent?] The world of Arcadia is so huge that you can''t dare measure its scale. The eight continents that existed within it were blocked by vast oceans that could never be crossed by ordinary attempts. [No way. How much effort did Alice and I put into conceiving the scenario? ording to Alice''s analysis at that time... Alice, what was the result of the continental difficulty evaluation at that time?] [The difficulty evaluation result of the two continents continental movement scenario S-. It ranks first among 8 continents.] Alice is a wless artificial intelligence that contemtes and analyzes everything. As a result of her evaluation, the scenario designed with the highest difficulty than any other continent. That''s why, in response to Jennica''s question, Jack asserted that it was absolutely not. [The minimum scenario of continental drift will appear after 5 to 6 years. In the case of the two continents that Korea is ying, I took it at about 8 yearster.] Jack and Alice confirmed that there was no problem at all in terms of nning. At the words of these two, Jenika asked with a frown as if she couldn''t understand the current situation even more. [No, then what is this now? How long has it been since you started the service in Korea? It''s just 8 months old. No matter how much you have that damn job, you''re touching a scenario that was expected to happen 8 yearster like this?] Jennica is indignant as she roughly rummages through the papers in her hand on the screen. Mikhail, who was watching her quietly, looked at President Lee Mi-yeon and asked cautiously. [First of all.... To summarize the contents here, is it a situation where a user ying in Korea might move to a continent where users from other countries are currently ying?] Yes . that''s right. The exact date has not been confirmed, but Ellis believes that the rted scenario will begin within a month at least. [I see..... But don''t you think it''s too early? I know that the real-time interpretation and trantion system has not yet been perfectly applied to cross continents.] Convenience function that trantes thenguage of all countries in real time so that there is no inconvenience in interacting with yers from other countries. It was necessary in the distant future when traffic between continents became free, but it was a function that was not yet applied because there was no problem even if it was not there right now. So, for that part, we are currently urgentlypleting the final inspection to apply the rted system. It''s a system that only a very small number of people will need yet, so Alice''s currentputing power can handle it. However, I think the expansion ofputing facilities should be done as quickly as possible. [Don''t worry about that part. We will prioritize the production and supply of rted equipment.] [Ha... Ah! I don''t know! it''s annoying! If you want to reduce your work, why do you have more work!] Chairman Lee Jun-hee and Jenica show different reactions to President Lee Mi-yeon''s words. She looked at the report in her hand one by one, narrowing her eyes, as if she was resentful of the increased work she had to do, no matter what. [Wait, thinking about this..... Isn''t it a situation where we are leaving for the endless sea'' in search of a new continent that has not yet been discovered?] Jennica''s eyes shine as if she has a good idea. She gave the order to Ellis without anyone even bothering to say anything. [Ordered as the 1st level administrator of Alice. Increase the frequency of attacks by the deep sea monsters in the Arcadia Sea by 100% and the difficulty level by 1000%.] Even if the scenario cannot be stopped, Zenika tries to stop it by adjusting the difficulty to an impossible level. Exercising absolutemand rights as a first-ss manager and confidently giving orders, she opened her mouth at Alice''s reply. [Check level 1 administrator privileges. Difficulty adjustment of Arcadia Sea... cannot be applied.] [What...? what? Why!] The authority of a first-ss manager that even President Lee Mi-yeon does not have. In fact, as the only being who could control Elise, she looked shocked at Elise''s decision to reject her order for the first time. However, Ellis exined the reason in a dry tone. [This order is an unfair bnce adjustment targeting a specific user.] [The target user has obtained the absolute right to defend by amicably epting the agreement on the problem caused by thepany''s fault.] Zenika, 1st level administrator A user who said that he had acquired an absolute right to defense that he could not do anything about. She shouted in bewilderment at Alice''s exnation, which she had never heard of. [What the hell does that mean? Absolute right to defense?] [The data was sent by e-mail. Please check it.] At that, Jenika seems to be hurriedly rummaging through herputer. And soon, her shrill voice began to echo through the speakers. [What is this? bamboo spear? crazy! What the hell were you doing at the Korean branch?] Arcadia''s clumsy event nning caused a catastrophe. Looking at the records of that time, Jenika went mad for a long time after that. Angry at the birth of a user with absolute defense rights that he could not do anything about even with his own authority, and the fact that that user was disturbing Arcadia bymitting all sorts of hoaxes. * * * After the meeting was over with Zenica''s all kinds of fucking. In the virtual space, Jack hummed a pleasant song. Thank you, Alice. If you had followed that order instead of refusing there, I should have stood up and fought against Jenica. If Jack tried to stop the scenario maliciously, he would reject it. He thanked Elise for not bumping into his lover, Jenica, and that things were going the way he wanted. [I have only judged ording to principles.] Alice, an artificial intelligence that makes all judgments and decisions ording to the principles and mission assigned to her, without being biased toward any interests or emotions. Jack said with a satisfied smile at her judgment, which was fairer than any other being. know. Thank you for treating me so fairly. [Nothing else.] At that, Jack turned his head and looked down. In his eyes, he could see the Caribbean, busily moving and preparing something. No matter how you look at it, the way you y is so unique and novel..... He didn''t go around and collect clues to the quest himself, but let the ruler of the Caribbean go free and deal with it instead... That''s why Time is too short. Hundreds of thousands ofrge and small archipgos in the Caribbean. In the most basic way, you had to collect clues and items by going around all the ces and performing rted quests scattered about. No matter how experienced an explorer or adventurer is, clues can only be found after wandering around for at least half a year. However, thanks to the residents and pirates of the Caribbean who are busy following Jae-young''s instructions and searching for clues and information, that time is reduced to a phenomenal level. [Time left until the start of the current scenario... 1 day, 2 hours, 39 minutes, 24 seconds... 23 seconds.....] Alice''s analysis that the start of the scenario was imminent. Hearing that, Jack waved his hand with a strange smile. Let''s see... which continent is the closest to the Caribbean... At that moment, the Caribbean scenery reflected under his feet disappeared and the entire gigantic world of Arcadia appeared. And Jack muttered, contemting the whole world with an interesting expression on his face. Crossing the endless sea... going south... the seaway splits in two? Two continents of the Caribbean. Jack, who was giggling as if he was having fun watching the two continents coexisting under him, inadvertently asked Alice. Which country is ying on the two continents below Alice? As if answering a question, a rted information window popped up in front of Jack''s eyes. Seeing this, he mumbled for the first time with a puzzled expression. Eh? Shouldn''t this be like this? Two continents that Jaeyoung will reach with a very high probability. In the information window with the detailed information of the two continents, it was written like this. [Country for the 3rd Continent: Japan.] [Country for the 4th Continent: China.] Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Searching for clues is annoying. Jae-Young returns to Arcadia after leaving behind all the turmoil in reality. It was truly amazing to see how Caribbean has changed since I haven''t logged in for the past few days. Hey, bring some wood over there. Once this area is overhauled, next time its B area first. Oh, the smell. hey! Haven''t you cleaned up the sewage system here? Where did the organization decide to take this? Just one more time, if you show strange dissension over another member of the organization and get caught in a war of nerves, you know that you wont really be fine with it. Everyone in the Caribbean is one. Didn''t you hear what Carlos said? Criminal organizations that had previously snarled and fiercely battled in the city streets, abandoning city management altogether. But now everyone has be ordinaryborers andborers, repairing the city that waspletely neglected and ruined. [Criminal city of Caribbean is being restored.] [36% of city functions have been restored.] [The power war between criminal organizations has ended.] [City stability has risen to 89%.] Pirate King Carlos. With overwhelming force and charisma, and the overwhelming support of the Caribbean''s residents who have not forgotten the glory of the past, they were busy preparing something while consolidating their dominion once again. Oh, where did youe from? my friend. As if he had been looking for him for a long time, Carlos was delighted as soon as he saw Jaeyoung. And Jaeyoung shook his head as if nothing was wrong with his hospitality. Ah, I was just personally taking a quiet break. Rather... what the hell are those things lying there? I don''t think it''s anything out of the ordinary. Carlos, who was looking at something together with his new henchmen, pirates with a formidable impression who seemed to have been with the ship all their lives. On top of his desk, there were several items that looked old and faded, like japtem that would be sold in a shop. Ah... you mean these? Carlos smiles strangely at Jaeyoung''s question. He smiled confidently and spoke in a boastful tone. Based on what you told me, these are the things I found after searching and looking all over the Caribbean. To be honest, I didn''tpletely believe what you said... but seeing these things, I can''t help but believe it. Four objects on the desk. They were all necessary items when sailing on a ship and sailing the distant sea. Apass that spins around so much that it is questionable whether it is working properly. Even if only a faint afterimage remains, it is almost impossible to decipher. A telescope that can''t see properly due to a cracked lens, and even someone''s rugged voyage. The supplies needed for moving the continent that have been neglected and hidden for a long time. If it wasn''t for Carlos, the ruler of the Caribbean, it was obvious that it would have taken a lot of time and effort just to find it. The New Continent exists. Although I had no choice but to check the rted information through records... I also found the charts he made that were recorded at the time, and along with them, I was able to find items from the legend rted to the Endless Sea''. Apass and telescope that look like something old and antique. As he picked them up, Carlos frowned in pain. But... it seems that it has been damaged due to being exposed to harsh environments and neglected for a long time, so it is not functioning properly. Apass and a telescope that seem unable to function just by looking at them. Seeing him with a sad expression on his face, Jaeyoung tilted his head and asked. Is this thing really that important? of course. ording to the logbook given here, he continues to say that he would never have survived the Endless Sea'' without these two items. In order to find a new continent... they must be made so that they can function properly no matter what. Carlos says it must be fixed. At his words, Jaeyoung asked again. how? Is there a way? At that question, Carlos shook his head with a dark expression. I''m sorry... but we don''t know anything in this area. If it''s old and magically endowed like this, most people probably won''t even be able to restore it. Then he looked at Jaeyoung with a coy look and asked. So... can you take these guys to the Blue Mage Tower and ask them to restore them? Our people are all notorious criminals, and there are too many troubles outside the Caribbean. blue mage tower. The only base city for wizards on the 2nd continent. It was the spiritual home of wizards, and it was also a ce where all the infrastructure for wizards was concentrated to such an extent that if you were a wizard user, you must visit this ce. Carlos''s request to go there and inquire about repairs. Hearing this, Jaeyoung frowned. If it''s the Blue Mage Tower... isn''t it theplete opposite of here? Unlike general RPG games that provide quick movement or various means to move around the continent in an instant, Arcadia requires genuinely moving time and effort through walking or various means of transportation. It was really annoying to Jaeyoung to go directly to the Blue Magic Tower on the opposite side of the Caribbean and ask for repairs across the continent. Perhaps the Enchanter School can provide a clue on how to restore these items. And even if you repair these things, it will probably take quite a while as the materials needed to fix them will be hard to find here. Apass and telescope that look like they will be filled with precious and expensive magic materials. Therefore, Carlos'' request was quite reasonable and reasonable. [I have acquired the key clues necessary for the scenario.] [The quest Restoration of an old magic artifact has been created.] That is why the quest was created for Jaeyoung. After confirming the contents, he let out a deep sigh at the fact that he had to return to the Blue Mage Tower without moving. Haa..... It''s annoying.....'' A journey that seems to take at least 2 to 3 weeks just to go there. In addition, from there, I got the quests needed to restore the artifacts, gathered the necessary materials, restored them, and headed back to the Caribbean... Just thinking about all those obvious, cumbersome, and arduous processes made my head hurt. How can I...?'' Jae-young started to turn her head to full due to the annoyance that came from deep in her bones. And he soon began to try something out of curiosity. Whoops. A gray aura that boasts its existence by emitting a strange resonating sound from his hand. usibility. Bringing it out to the fullest, Jaeyoung recalled the story Tan had told him before. [The power to artificially twist and intervene while breaking all thews of the world and ignoring causality. do you have that All you need is just willpower.] Virtual Reality Arcadia. A game full of questions that has just been released and many things are hidden behind a veil. Jaeyoung, who felt a degree of freedom beyond what he had imagined, put his hands on the old and brokenpass and telescope, recalling a strong will in his heart. [A broken relic of the past reacts to the yer.] [A broken relic can be restored by consuming Probability. Do you want to restore?] [Probability of necessity: 200000] Recovery costs that require an enormous probability of 100,000 per unit. However, Jaeyoung muttered with his eyes wide open as if he was amazed at the fact that restoration was possible right away, ignoring allplicated processes, as long as the probability was paid. Wow, is this going to happen? Jaeyoung, who smiled strangely, moved his finger toward one of the two selection windows that appeared in front of him. * * * Myung-Han Kwon, Managing Director of Arcadia''s Korean branch. He was sitting alone in the office talking with his direct subordinate, General Manager Kang Tae-hoon, whom he trusted and relied on the most, with a serious face. What do you mean by that, Mr. A continental drift scenario imminent? Director Kang Tae-hun asks with a face full of embarrassment. He couldn''te to his senses at all when he heard the news from Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who quietly called him out. That''s literally it..... This is what I just confirmed after receiving permission from CEO Lee Mi-yeon to ess rted information. It seems that a user is currently solving the preceding quest necessary to move to another continent through Carlos, who has taken control of the Caribbean. It was an approximate content, but just with the exnation of Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, Director Kang Tae-Hoon realized what the aftermath this scenario would bring and asked with a shocked face. Wait a minute, Mr. So, does that mean that one user is on the verge of a real continental shift...? okay. It''s not going to be that easy, but... Starting with that user, the fact that it''s possible to move to another continent will be revealed in the future. It is impossible to predict what the scale will be because the flow of the scenario has not yet been finalized, but I am telling you because I think you should know. So fast? Another continent of Arcadia upied by another country. By setting different starting points, each country established a branch in charge of users'' y and was responsible for the overall operation and service of each continent, but cooperation or exchange between each branch was not working properly. asked with a puzzled face. Then, how do you manage the user? What do you mean by that? Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han tilts his head as if he doesn''t understand what he''s saying. Director Kang Tae-hun asked him in a calm voice with a slightly excited face. If a user who used to y on the Korean continent goes to another continent and starts doing all sorts of shit there... no, do we have to take responsibility for that too? The personalism following the user''s birth (?) and the territorialism following the jurisdiction of that ce. At the sudden question of what policy should be applied there, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon put on a nk expression for a moment. Why are you suddenly curious here? You can''t believe it..... Managing Director Kwon Myung-han wanted to ask if he was doing it because he didn''t want to work. However, he couldn''t bear to open his mouth at the question of Manager Kang Tae-hoon, who was doing it again with a more serious face than ever before. Please answer me, Mr. Don''t you know how much our department is struggling right now? Even if it''s not a scenario that starts in the Caribbean, there are more than one or two problems we have to deal with now. Starting with the issue of power abuse at the top of GM, which broke out again, to the users who signed the ve contract of Baron Mikhail, who started a collective action saying he would go to court. In addition, the second scenario currently in progress, the emergence of heterogeneous species and various major quests rted to it were slowly being released to users, so the shit pouring out on them in rtion to it was already piled up so enormously that they could not handle it. . ..... And Kwon Myeong-han, executive director who knows that better than anyone else. That''s why he said to Director Kang Tae-hoon, who was nervous and with a desperate expression on his eyes that he felt a little sad. About that part... I''ll try to figure it out again. And don''t worry. I know very well that you guys are having a hard time, and I will try to tell the boss about it so that I dont harm you. thank you! thank you! Managing Director! Director Kang Tae-hoon shouted thanks while bowing his head. He sighed in relief as he remembered this moment in the near future. And as he watched in real time as the gigantic shit no one could handle cut through the huge ocean of Arcadia and crossed over to another continent, he let out a cry of joy in his heart. Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Expedition (1) [I faced the risk of dying countless times in the endless sea. A huge sea with no direction at all. And unknown monsters that appear every moment there. There''s even a storm that changes rapidly in an instant. If it weren''t for these two mysterious artifacts I have, I probably wouldn''t have lived to write this down. I am grateful to my ancestors who handed down these things.] A voyage left by an unknown person. The two relics mentioned in it were already worn out and rusted, failing to survive the passage of time. Whoops. In order to restore it, the help of a high-ranking mage with extensive knowledge of this artifact is required. However, the enormous power that resonated with the gray light in Jaeyoung''s hand ignored such a proper process. How can this be...? As if the hands of a clock were turning backwards, the faded, rusty, ungainlypass and telescope were slowly changing. The cracked lens was shining cleanly, and thepass, which had been spinning round and round without finding a direction, stopped moving and started pointing straight in one direction. Just like that, the two items shine neatly as if they were new items. Seeing this, Carlos and the other pirates looked at Jaeyoung with astonished eyes. [Item restoration has been sessfullypleted.] [Probability 200000 consumed.] [Item Broken Old Compass'' is changed to Dreamer''s Milestone''.] [Item Cracked Spyss'' is Watcher''s Eye'' ] [The quest Restoration of an old magic artifact has beenpleted] [The linked quest Legend of the Forgotten'' has beenpleted] [The title The Child Who Progressed Too Fast'' has been obtained.] .... ? A strange title that seems to be sarcastic by pinching Jaeyoung himself. However, knowing how absurd this process he was going through now, Jaeyoung nodded as if he understood. This crazy... warping time just to restore those things? It''s nonsense..... to use time regression to fix things... However, Tan and L muttered while looking at Jaeyoung with absurd eyes. Seeing the strange reaction of the two, Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled look. what''s the matter? Any problem? Tan and L look at him with absurd eyes when he asks with apletely ignorant look. Then, he reacted violently and made all sorts of fuss. Is there any problem? Are you asking because you dont know what the owner just did? Time regression isnt such a simple power to use to fix things. time regression. The transcendental power that reaches the realm of an absolute god that twists the already past time and returns it to the previous past. They looked at Jaeyoung as if they were looking at a monster, as if they were looking at a monster. No, I''ve been curious about it before... What the hell is the owner? From the moment I, the demon king, was summoned to the status of a familiar through a forced contract, something was strange... Have you ever signed a contract with another transcendent being? I don''t feel any other special power... Tan and L have umted endless knowledge while living for an eternity. However, Jaeyoung''s existence was beyondmon sense even to them, far beyond the scope of understanding. And at the question of the two (?), Jaeyoung recalled the previous moment. [Please do your best in the future. Like I''m doing right now.] A developer who gave himself a job as a wanderer in troubled times and made a really crazy request. He had been curious about the identity from before, but Jaeyoung was able to draw an inference by listening to the two. That person... was never just a normal developer...'' At first, I thought it was simply a quirk of one of the development staff developing the hidden ss. However, Arcadia''s management, who can''t even figure out the details of the item and Jaeyoung''s job even if he makes the only item, has a special stat called probability as coteral. Looking at the fraudulent ability to do it, I learned that the things that cause a major ident that almost ruins the game in the name of a mission are not at the level that one development staff can create. In addition, the fact that even Tan and El could express power so powerful that even Tan and El were astonished at it, made such an inference clear. It must be the work of the main developer or a core developerparable to him...'' I don''t know what the heck he was doing to create such a job and watch his y, but Jae-young must be watching himself as a piece in a huge chessboard somewhere. Imagining the developer, he smiled as if he was having fun. master? Why are youughing all of a sudden? Looking at exactly what Jaeyoung was doing right now, I couldn''t tell what the mysterious developer was thinking, but he muttered to himself as if resolving an unknown sense of triumph that suddenly surged in his heart. If you put the board on and you cant y with excitement, its not Dex. Previously, Jae-young was worried that he would hit a van for crossing the line. Lately, I haven''t even worried about that, but I''ve been keeping my ownmercial morality (?) to some extent. But now, as if he had made up his mind on something, he stood up and asked Carlos. Hey Carlos. Now these two things should work without a problem. Carlos and his men stand still with nk eyes as if dreaming. They were embarrassed and coughed as if they had suddenly regained consciousness at Jaeyoung''s words. Ummm... thats right. No... how the hell...? Apass and a telescope that show off their appearance as if they were brand new. Jaeyoung asked, leaving behind the subordinates who picked them up and looked at them curiously. So is it possible now? To cross over to another continent. At that, Carlos nodded. Oh sure. I didn''t expect it to go this fast... Everything here in this logbook is ready. All we need now is a ship and a crew. Ships and crew needed for sailing. A situation where you have to cross a huge ocean rather than simply heading to the coast a little away from thend. Therefore, a ship with not only outstanding sailing skills but also numerous experiences and excellent crew members was needed. And in this part, the perspectives of Carlos and Jaeyoung werepletely different. I will prepare a battleship for you to ride by tomorrow. You don''t have to worry about sailing because we''ll choose the guys with the best skills in the Caribbean. A ship and a captain. And Carlos, who will preparepetent sailors. However, Jaeyoung questioned his words. What do you mean? What do you mean? Carlos, I thought you were leading the ship to the New World. A being with the most outstanding sailing skills in this Caribbean. It was the pirate king Carlos himself, who had been with the ship his entire life and established himself as the undisputed absolute leader of the Caribbean through countless battles and voyages. However, at Jaeyoung''s question, the atmosphere in the room subtly changed. I see what you mean. However, it is actually too much for me to go directly to the endless sea'' that I have not yet been to... Are you afraid? flinch. Jaeyoung interrupts Carlos and asks. When asked if he was afraid, Carlos'' subordinates suddenly turned aggressive and tried to pour out harsh words at Jae-young. This bastard... how dare you say something stupid about Carlos-sama... Are you saying this because you dont know that if the ruler of the Caribbean ever dies, you will go back to those days in the past? Pirate King Carlos is in a position that is too important to rush directly. The symbol of the entire Caribbean and a strong support, it was absolutely impossible for him to die, but the moment he gave many reasons like that, he could never hold the ruddermanding the ship again. ..... Carlos kept his mouth shut while looking at Jaeyoung with a subtle expression. Jaeyoung said without blinking an eye despite the threats of other subordinates. I gave you another chance. A chance to be the ruler of the Caribbean, full of heart-pumping romance and exciting adventures, although it is threatening and dangerous, and fly the sea again, waving the ck g of pirates. [The turning point of the main scenario has been reached.] [The direction of the scenario may change depending on the yer''s actions. Be mindful of the y.] Originally, a scenario in which you have to go through a rough journey on a ship provided by Carlos to reach the new continent. But now, Jaeyoung was warming up Carlos'' heart, which had already cooled down. I didn''t expect you to kick that opportunity yourself, Carlos. Do you know that it''s an easy thing to do as you say! Carlos shouts at Jaeyoung''s ridicule. Looking at his face mixed withplex and subtle emotions, Jaeyoung noticed that Carlos himself was also confused. And seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said without backing down a bit. It''s easy. As the ruler of the Caribbean, no one can stop or stop whatever you choose. It is just denying that it is scary by giving in to the temptation of worrying hearts around you and attaching various excuses. [Negotiation skill is activated. Activation target Carlos the Pirate King.] [You have urately prated Carlos'' intentions.] [The target of the additional bonus feels skeptical about their decision.] [The skill bonus yer''s favorability for the options presented increases. ] negotiation skills. At that moment, Carlos'' eyes began to fluctuate as if to show off. So... what the hell do you want from me... Carlos seemed to have been thinking about this for a long time. At the self-deprecating murmur mixed withmentation from a tired face, Jaeyoung whispered in a devilishly sweet voice. You are going to another continent with me. It''s not just going with one ship, it''s the ck Pirates, the pride of the Caribbean, and all the ships that can cross the continent, flying the ck pirate g, and crossing the damned Endless Sea''. And at the end of it, on a new continent we have never set foot on... Carlos is making a hazy expression as if imagining that moment. Jaeyoung gave him the final blow. Plunging the g of the ck Pirates. Whether it''s the pirates who will be there or the proud pig-like lords. Everyone kneels in front of you and deres it proudly. Criminals and pirates treated like bugs and subhumans have discovered and conquered a new continent beyond the endless sea, a feat that no kingdom or empire has ever achieved. At those words, Carlos trembled. A dream like his own imagination that came to mind while listening to Jaeyoung''s words that the new continent actually exists in prison. Although he knew that it was impossible due to various realistic problems, Jae-young''s words seemed to rekindle his passion for that futile, delusional dream. Whoops. And a jet-ck cuss weeping at his waist. Looking down at it, Carlos seemed to have made up his mind about something and ordered his men. Everyone prepare to go out. Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Departure (2) Carlos fell for Jaeyoung''s demonic whisper. When he made a decision while agonizing over which choice to make in his heart, the entire process from then on was carried out in one stroke to the extent that his jaw dropped. Move quickly! Everything should be ready within the next week. At this level... it''s close enough, but it''s possible. Hey, did you get all the gunpowder and cannons repaired? We need to ce them on the ship right now! Have you called all the applicants to be recruited from each organization? The Caribbean, an archipgo of thousands ofrge and small inds. Most of the residents here, who were criminals, vagrants, and fugitives, were sailors who knew how to drive a ship due to the geographical environment. Gather up all the ships that can cross the ocean. And it doesn''t matter if you''re not part of the ck Pirates. Anyone with outstanding sailing skills or a strong person who cannot be ignored can participate in this conquest, and ept all who wish. All who participate in our cause are our brothers andrades, and we will ept them as members of the ck Pirates, regardless of which organization they are in. A message from Carlos proimed throughout the Caribbean. The words that anyone who participates in this cause will be epted as a member of the ck Pirates was enough to tempt those who were full of ambition in their hearts but were wasting their time because they could not seize the opportunity. The joining conditions are also difficult to put into the ck Pirates? This.... If you do well, you''ll rise in status at once? I am more confident than anyone else when ites to navigation. An unknown area where you can lose your life with a high probability. The endless sea. But was it because of the fact that Carlos would lead the way himself? A spirit of adventure that excites the heart rather than fear. And the ambition to achieve outstanding achievements and dream of a movie of wealth and honor encroached on their heads and made them participate in this campaign one after another. A veryrge fleet made up of hundreds ofrge ships and thousands of medium ships. The endless line of ships stretched out on the horizon was a jaw-dropping sight. Wow... was the Caribbean this huge? Is this enough power to win against almost one country? Tan and L underestimated the potential of the Caribbean. The two murmured in surprise as they looked at the size of the Caribbean''s enormous maritime power that had been hidden until now. And Jaeyoung nodded as if he agreed. Since all of the medium-sized fishing boats were scraped together and built, it must be said that life and death were staked on this expedition. But I didn''t expect it to be this far... Carlos, who gathered almost everything in the Caribbean to the end of his soul. His beast''s heart, which bets on everything once he made up his mind, seemed to be dangerous even to Jae-young, the third person, but Carlos looked at the fleet lined up in front of him with a very calm attitude andughed. It''s beautiful! How beautiful! To think I was about to give up on this electrifying moment... was really stupid. Carlos murmurs as if reflecting on his passive past, tied to his position as the ruler of the Caribbean. He was wiping out his subordinates with an expression that made him want to leave right away. When will the preparations be finished! Are you still far away! Sailors waving gs on masts and talking loudly to check the signal system with each ship. In response to Carlos'' question, they said to him with determined eyes that they had finished their preparations. All ships are ready tounch. No problem! three weeks. for less than a month. The fleet was summoned in an instant, as if roasting beans in a sh of lightning. However, under themand of Carlos, the fleet of thousands of ships gathered in perfect order without any great confusion was perfectly prepared to leave for the unknown new continent. With almost all of the Caribbean''s power gathered. Raise the g. Whoops. A ck cuss trembling slightly. Pulling it out, Carlos ordered. The entire fleet sorties. Thus, arge fleet of thousands of ships began to move forward cutting through the waves. Waving the g of the ck Pirates with a ck skull on it. * * * The daily life of a popr channel destroyer in Arpendia. Although the number of videos was so small that it was iparable to other channels, it was the gship channel of iPlus, boasting numerous views and subscribers due to its uniqueness and differentiation. -Haa..... Today, I started by looking at Dex hyung''s contemptuous eyes. - Deck fans, are all of you wearing ck panties? ^^7. -Dex hyung, I also bought ck panties today. - When will another video be uploaded here? - Not a deck fan. Now it''s a deck fan sword. please refer to this. -??? Why are youmenting here? - This ce is full of crazy people. How many people are there? A channel full of strangements that can be called a mental ward on the Inte. It was a bit embarrassing to say that this ce was the gship channel of iPlus, but in fact, it boasted the number of subscribers and views that were almost within a finger, so the interest and devotion of iPlus poured into this channel was enormous. I... I finished editing the video the CEO gave me the other day. The video that Jaeyoung sent me via email the other day. At the words of the staff member that the editing was finished, Seo-wook Cho stood up with his eyes shining. okay? Then everyone gather around. We should see it first and give an honest review of what it is like. A video whose contents have not been seen by anyone except the staff who edited it. It was revealed for the first time in front of all the employees of iPlus, and everyone who saw it was shocked with their mouths open. [I''ll give you another chance to be the ruler of the Caribbean, which is tough and dangerous, but full of exciting romance and exciting adventures...] [All information on how to sail to a new continent beyond the endless sea and A clue.....] President Sa! What the hell is this? Carlos...? Was that prisoner the Pirate King of the Caribbean? Dex...? It''s Dex! Dex. Dex, the pitiful (?) victim of those who have been polluting and humiliating their signboard channels by posting all sorts of pervertedmentstely or until now, which has caused a lot of buzz. When the video of his y was released, the employees scrambled to ask CEO Seo-wook Cho. Boss, where the hell did you get this video from? What is it, was Choco Pie Joa really friends with Dex-nim? No, wait. Will this video be uploaded to our channel then? The baptism of questions poured out like a rapid-fire cannon without giving an answer. CEO Jo Seo-wook raised his hand with a puzzled face at the reaction of those who seemed more excited than he said. Calm down. How am I going to answer the question if you ask me at the same time like that? The staff kept their mouths shut with curious eyes shining at those words. Looking at them, CEO Jo Seo-wook calmly talked about what would happen in the future. First of all, as the rification video I uploadedst time, Dex and Choco Piezoa are friends who know each other well. omg! oh my god! That''s real..... I''m not joking. And as I asked earlier, we decided to release Dexs y video through Choco Pies channel. Regarding the rted content, discussions with Choco Pie have already beenpleted. Really? Wow... thats crazy... Dex. Mystic gamers with incredibly thick fan bases in other games, if not Arcadia. Considering how little information was known about him, it was obvious that an exclusive upload of his video would attract far more views and subscribers than it does now. And the contents of the video he sent were especially those that could draw everyone''s attention. For now, let''s put aside the contents rted to Dex... Just give an honest evaluation of this video. What do you think? Hmm... First of all, wasnt the Caribbean one of the five forbidden regions? I think it''s worth it as a video that can tell you what''s going on there. Rather than that, the NPC named Pirate King. I don''t know why they''re locked up... but judging from the contents of the conversation, it doesn''t seem like an ordinary situation at all? Boss... isnt this a main scenario level quest? No, more than that, how high is the level of Dex to fight so equally in such a many-to-many battle? Youre almost on the same level as Carlos, arent you? A video that is fragmentary and edited intermittently so that the overall details cannot be confirmed. However, with only the information that could be drawn from some context, it was easy to see that something extraordinary was going on. And since they had felt this subtle feeling before, they said with strange expressions. This...how does it feel simr to that video fromst time? video? what video? That... there''s a video of the world tree that was uploaded the other day, right? Choco Piejoa''s broadcast was impromptu but streamed in real time. Angels and demons appeared in it. and the world tree. The rtionship with them has not yet been properly revealed, but the users can definitely feel that something tremendous has happened that they don''t know about. Although the cities of the different races are open and extremely closed, at least they have started interacting with humans. And through the intermittent whispers of the elves that the World Tree was resurrected. They were clearly aware that a huge change had urred without their knowledge. Weiying. And at that moment, CEO Cho Seo-wook''s phone rings with a strong vibrating sound. He checked who the caller was and quickly answered the call with wide eyes. Yes customer. What are you doing? I don''t know who it is, but CEO Jo Seo-wook answers the phone in a very low profile. When the staff tilted their heads while watching him like that. He was having a conversation with someone, reacting exasperatedly. yes? Oh, can I release the video now? yes yes yes yes! Ah, anyway, I was going to contact you after the editing was finished..... Yes? Did you send another video via email? CEO Jo Seo-wook sends a continuous signal to employees with one hand even while holding the phone. At his gesture, an employee hurriedly opened the mailbox. -Send additional video. A video with a short title. CEO Jo Seo-wook, who confirmed it, nodded and said. yes yes! I''ve just checked. yes. I will edit this together and post it right away. CEO Cho Seo-wook sighed and carefully hung up the phone. The staff, who were looking at him with bright eyes, asked. Is it Choco Pie, boss? okay. They told me to put this video that just came in at the end and edit it as best as possible. Hehe... is that so? At that word, the employees stare at the new video file with curious eyes. CEO Cho Seo-wook first asked the burdensome eyes of the employees. Why do you want to see me? Sure! By the way, the bosss video...is about two minutes long? Is it too short? A question from an employee who was staring at the detailed exnation of the video. To that, CEO Cho Seo-wook responded lightly and ran the video. Its an additional video, so there wont be much content. It just probably feels like a bonus... Huh? CEO Cho Seo-wook, who opened the video without much expectation. However, as soon as it was executed, he froze with his mouth open in a row of huge ships of unpredictable size. [Raise the g.] Carlos, the pirate king, exudes the energy of the absolute and gives orders. Watching the g of the ck Pirates pping in the wind climb onto hundreds and thousands of ships, he smiled grimly, drew his sword, and dered: [The entire fleet sorties.] Carlos''s fleet moves forward while breaking through such rough waves. The video ended with Carlos leaving ast word as the massive ships departed. [We will never stop until we find a new continent...] Poetry New Continent? What the hell is this all about? Caribbean...? hey! Find everything rted to the Caribbean! Lets start editing right now! Is this thest video? When the employees, who had been frozen in shock, reacted explosively and started moving on their own in excitement, CEO Seo-Wook Cho realized that if this video was uploaded now, apletely different reaction from what he had experienced woulde. Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Joseon''s Counterattack (1) Pirate King Carlos sets out to conquer the New World with arge fleet of thousands of ships. He and the ck Pirates entered the endless sea with a majestic spirit, but as it was notorious, it was an extremely dangerous ce where tension could not be lost even for a moment. Aww. Kyaaaaaaaa! Kieack! Huge sea monsters that appear from time to time. No matter how experienced sailors who have lived their entire lives at sea, they could not easily respond to the surprise attack of those who suddenly appeared and attacked the ship. Keugh...! Abandon the ship! Everyone escape! Full speed ahead! Ships that are not under attack should raise their sails and get out of the danger zone as quickly as possible! However, when the giant monster appeared as if they had learned the strategy through several experiences, the ck Pirates began to move in perfect order. The crew of the attacked ship quickly abandoned the ship and moved to another nearby ship, while the ships preparing to fire at the sea monster were busy with their crews roaming the decks. The entire fleet fires! Cuckoo coo! Kyaaaaaaagh! They progressed little by little, defeating the giant monster in exchange for one ship. Sacrificing dozens... no, hundreds of ships, heading towards the unknown new continent in the direction that thepass, which contains advanced magical power, leads. How is the current situation? Pirate King Carlos looked down at the navigation map for a while. An adjutant answered his question. So far, the number of ships destroyed by the sea monster attack is 142 medium attack ships, 31 supply ships, and 21rge ships. There are approximately 2,100 casualties and injuries, and the number of overstaffed ships continues to increase, creating problems with food supply and space shortages. Carlos leads thousands of ships across the endless sea. He was able to realize how foolish his initial n was as he received a report on the damages caused so far by giant monsters that suddenly appeared from the sea and smashed ships indiscriminately. It was a ce where you would have no choice but to die if you sent only one boat recklessly. Extreme level of difficulty where you have to risk abandoning a ship once a sea monster appears. It was self-evident that if he sent only one ship as he had initially nned, he would be a ghost sunk into the deep sea without being able to withstand the attack of a gigantic monster that he would not dare to deal with. And as if agreeing with this, the adjutant nodded and said with shining eyes as if he was great. you''re right. With thousands of ships like this, it''s a shame that we couldn''t deal with the sea monster unless it was of a decent size, and we almost got helpless. Even if one ship is broken, the ship to rece it has enough firepower to neutralize the giant monster at once. So, while minimizing the damage than expected, Carlos and the ck Pirates'' fleet were cruising through this terribly dangerous endless sea in their own way. Did you expect all of this...? I didn''t know it at the time, but now Jae-young, who told me to consider these things and mobilize all my troops, looked great. Carlos lived a life like a worm, locked in a dungeon and waiting for the day he would die. He suddenly appeared to save himself, rekindled his passionate heart, which he thought had already died out, and suggested a new goal. On top of that, thinking that he had anticipated and prepared for all of this while directly experiencing the fear of the endless sea, Carlos'' affinity for Dex was reaching an inexplicably high level. [Carlos'' favorability increases significantly.] [Carlos will believe the yer''s words, even if the sun rises in the west.] What is it...? A sudden status message. Hearing the message that he had not done anything but that his liking had risen significantly, Jaeyoung looked back with a puzzled look and murmured. What''s wrong, master? What''s going on? No, nothing. Just because someone was talking about me. Jaeyoung evades Tan''s question and clears his ears. At his words, Tan said with a strangely proud smile as if it was natural. If there are people who talk about their masters, maybe there are a lot of them? At least the kids on our side even have a fan club for the owner, right? what....? Jae-young asks with an absurd face when he hears that he even has a fan club among the demons. However, whether or not he knew how he felt, Tan spoke proudly over and over again. You don''t have to be shy. I still thought that when it came to viciousness and wickedness, these days, I was sticking to too ssic methods and couldn''t keep up with thetest trends. So I was thinking about what to do, but if you watch what the owner is doing, you will know what direction the real demons should go. Thats why were thoroughly educating imps these days! A ck scroll that I took out every time and scribbled something on myself. I don''t know how to educate him with it, but Jae-young was speechless at the fact that he had be a superstar among demons, and stood there with his mouth open. If you get a chanceter, do you really want toe and y? I treat you with a real full course... Kuek! El''s divine power punch flew before he could even finish his words. After getting hit in the back of the head, leaving behind the bullets thatnded on the deck, El spoke in a cold, contemptuous tone. I said If you keep flirting with the contractor about strange things, I will destroy them all. Jaeyoung''s guardian angel, L. She said with a ferocious air, as if she couldn''t see Jaeyoung hanging out with demons in the demon realm until dirt got in her eyes. You should know well, Dex-sama. I''ve said it before, but no matter how much a contract is made and it can''t be helped, if you hang out with such baseless bats, your soul itself gets dirty. So no matter what that bastard says, just don''t listen and don''t associate with him at all. You damn chicken! Who keeps saying that there is no root! Do you really want to lose! This time, Tan snarls with a bloody spirit, ready to fight El. However, L did not blink an eye andughed at him with an expression full of ridicule. Can I win against a subject that is excited and smashed? The wrath of bullets that must never be touched. A smashed Deathbringer. Demon King with Bare Hands VS Archangel with Muspelheim. If asked to bet on who would win this match, it was a self-evident fight that he would gather his soul and bet on thetter, so despite her ridicule, there was nothing Tan could do other than hold on to the back of his head. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh, that fucking chicken is really... L said, looking at Jaeyoung with a strange face as Tan was screaming at himself because he couldnt help the rising anger. I don''t think this idiot bat bastard understands properly... but I understand Dex''s deep meaning. huh? What are you talking about? something he did without thinking. However, Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled look as L smiled favorably saying that he knew the deep meaning. The one that freed Carlos. I know very well that he is not good enough to be saved like that. But because of that, in the end, the dizzy and chaotic Caribbean was stabilized, and the smiles returned to the faces of the people who lived there. Although it was aw and rule that was used only among criminals, those who lived a much better life than those who lived in hiding in fear of the disorderly reality of the past and full of worries about dying every day. Michael was satisfied with the fact that such meaningless deaths were reduced. And... I persuaded Carlos, who was trying to make the Caribbean notorious by disturbing the continent, to immerse them all in something a little more fruitful and productive. To venture beyond this endless sea that no human has ever dared to attempt, to a new continent that has even been forgotten. Leading the entire force of the ck Pirates. If not, they would have already disturbed the entire continent with plundering and piracy. But now they continued sailing with almost their entire force. Not backing down from the attacks of the sea monsters, and advancing through the great sea of Arcadia without hesitation. And in all of this series of processes, Michael believed that Jae-young had chosen the best lesser evil, even though he was not perfect. Even though the chaos won''tpletely disappear... Still, no one can preemptively put an end to another great chaos that would have brought a new life direction to the Caribbean and the ck Pirates, and possibly to the entire continent. It is something that is not easily done. How should Jaeyoung respond to Michael''spliments that are notpliments, as he says that even when he sees something like ....., he interprets it positively, regardless of his intentions, as if there are many different interpretations of what he thinks? I didn''t know, I kept my mouth shut. And Tan vehemently rebelled against her words. What is he saying now! You damn chicken! Our master is an outright evil no matter who sees it! Don''t disparage the role model of the imps and the pioneering hope of our demons in that way! shut up! It''s a fucking bat! I heard that you can only see dogs and pigs with the eyes of pigs and dogs. Without understanding the deep and gigantic practice of goodness and justice, it is disgusting to see the sublime meaning being tarnished like that, so I won''t let it go! When I was killing time while watching Tan and L fight seriously with strange subjects such as whether Jaeyoung is a good person or is he a wicked person whom the devils praise and support as teachers. The jubnt voice of the lookout who was watching from the top of the mast was heard. I see Yund! Land! what....? really? I can''t believe it... was the legend really true? A new continent... Ohhh! Dear God... The green earth began to be visible from afar, though it was faint. And the ck Pirates, who had been tired of the fact that there were humans living simr lives to their own, catching fish with fishing boats, even though they were small ships, were filled with joy. And then praised. Carlos! Carlos! An unknown sea where nothing has been revealed. Only after finding a new continent by breaking through it with one firm conviction and faith, Carlos, the Pirate King, their lord and leader of the ck Pirates. thump thump thump. The sound of footsteps began to resonate starting with one ship. And this sound, which began to spread one by one as if it were contagious, filled the sea and resounded loudly. Carlos! Carlos! And various messages began to appear in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [Legendary achievement. The yer has discovered a new continent for the first time.] [Reporting rted facts to the main continent will bring great honor and wealth.] [ The title Great Navigator'' has been acquired.] [The title Unknown Explorer'' has been obtained. ] [You have entered a continent with a differentnguage zone.] [The real-time interpretation and trantion system is applied. Japanese - Korean.] [The main scenario has reached a huge turning point.] [The linked quest base capture has been created.] Ohh..... I wanted to go somewhere, but it''s Japan... Japan, the country closest to Korea. . As if reflecting its geopolitical location, the continent that Carlos''s fleet reached was none other than the continent that Japanese yers y as a base. And Jaeyoung felt a strange irony in that fact. All ready for battle! Completely upy this coast at once! yes! All ready for battle! Prepare for battle! The sailors move in perfect order at Carlos'' words and prepare for battle. Seeing the appearance of the ck Pirates attacking that peaceful coastal city even right now, Jaeyoung gave a strangely evil smile and muttered a small whisper to himself. This is Joseons counterattack, you bastards. Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Joseon''s Counterattack (2) Third Continent of Arcadia. Of the eight continents of Arcadia, this was the one allotted to Japan, with a poption of over 100 million forming a singlenguage and culture. Hey Sasaki. Yes, chief. Arcadia Japan Branch, which is in charge of and responsible for everything that happens in the 3rd continent and total service for customers ying in Japan, such as Arcadia''s various branches all over the world. Sasaki, who works here, answered the call of her boss, who was making an absurd expression while holding onto the receiver. Did we have any special ns recently in the Izumi area? The Izumi Sea area? I''ll check right away. A ce that is not even known by its name. After searching the database and confirming that it was a small sea area located at the northernmost part of the continent, Sasaki tilted her head and said. We didnt prepare anything special here. Is it a small area that is just a small port city? It is not a ce where special settings were given. yes....? I''ll get it right away. Section Chief Akita puts on a strange expression at those words and speaks with someone on the receiver. Sasaki waited for a moment until he finished talking, then asked as soon as he hung up the phone. Who was the call from? Head of customer service. They seem to be trying to find out if they got a call saying that strange NPCs from the Izumi Sea area are destroying the vige with a huge ship. yes? A strange NPC...? Sasaki asked back with an absurd face as if what the hell that meant. Looking at his expression, Manager Akita also nodded with a smile on his face. At first nce, it must be a stupid inquiry, but the original customer team receives a lot of strangeints. Our nning team didnt evene up with a scenario idea there, so what kind of nonsense is that? I see... I understand that the project being prepared by the scenario development team is still limited to the center of the continent. The second continent where a beginner vige was destroyed by a slime attack. However, unlike Korea, most of the yers in Japan, where the beginner viges remained sound and well, had cities and kingdoms not far from the beginner viges as their areas of activity. of course. How many users would go all the way to the northernmost area and y hard? I don''t think there will be even thousands of people, but it''s still too early to n arge-scale scenario there. For now, its right to focus on the center of the continent where most users y. Therefore, the scenario development team of Arcadia Japan Branch is preparing various scenarios from the center of the continent step by step. For at least one or two years, I was working hard to create various narratives through numerous stories and events that would take ce in the center of the continent, and it was not a leisurely situation to pay attention to other things. But wouldnt it be good to check it out? Sasaki cautiously speaks out with a strange sense of dj vu. However, at those words, Manager Akita frowned with an expression full of annoyance and said. Hey, Sasaki. How many things do you have to do right now, check them out? Are you saying that because you dont know howplicated the procedure is? Japanese culture values procedures and reporting systems above all else. So Akita didn''t want to bother his boss with a trivial matter, nor did he want to waste his time and energy requesting cooperation from other monitoring departments. That''s true, but... Sasaki replied with a puzzled look on his face. Looking at him like that, Manager Akita said with a confident tone. If you have time to care about such misceneous things, focus on your work! Unless there is a separate setting prepared by us, it''s probably a trivial inquiry. You can just ignore it. All right. I''m sorry, chief. At the words of his stubborn boss, Sasaki finally turns around, struggling to suppress his uneasiness. However, these two were so underestimating the game they were running. It is a game like a puppet like PC games of the past, where Arcadia was operated only ording to the algorithm they set and prepared. * * * Hahahahaha! Destroy them all! All bombardment! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam. Thick ck smoke spreads. And the strong smell of gunpowder stinging the nose. Jaeyoung witnessed with his own two eyes the power of naval artillery fire from thousands of ships at the same time and was amazed. As expected... Is this why it is said that artillery is the best... A sight that seems to understand a little bit why the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea has be a firepower fanatic, saying that artillery power is the only way to survive. . Clearly, the small, peaceful port city that was visible from afar until just a moment ago was quickly devastated by the attack of the ck Pirates led by Carlos. Keuuu..... This is it! Destruction! confusion! Conquest! I raised this guy for this! You are the owner! And seeing the scene, Tan shouted with a voice filled with emotion. Like a mother who proudly watches her child, whom she has fed and raised since she was a baby, be a grown adult and be independent, she was diligently taking notes. When you raise a bad person... you shouldn''t think that it''s a waste of probability..... The original investment is a joke..... Until viciousness blooms, stick by the side and take care of it devotedly, someday the light wille out. ... No, the darkness ising... Tan enthusiastically scribbled something over and over as if realizing a great investment principle that no one had grasped. El was looking at him with a look of genuine disgust. Haa..... Really, those bastard bats are... L muttered, revealing his ufortable inner feelings, saying that he wanted to burn them all with the torch. Leaving the two behind, Jaeyoung approached Carlos and asked. Carlos, I have a question for you. hmm? What are you curious about? Carlos, who was destroying the vige whilemanding his subordinates. He tilted his head at Jaeyoung''s sudden question. Once you take control of that vige... what are you going to do next? What do you mean? Didnt you confirm that people live here on this continent as well as where we used to live? so? Then there must be a monarch who rules this ce. They''re not going to be blinded like this. Excited by the discovery of a new continent, the ck Pirates recklessly attack and prepare tond. But Jay knew. They are confused and confused because they do not yet know the full story of the incident, but when they find out that they are the ones who eventually came over from the Korean continent, the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. . Ah, you mean the punitive force? Carlos giggled at those words and his eyes lit up. He answered Jaeyoung''s worried question in a confident tone. Don''t worry about that, my friend. Do you have other ns? At that, Carlos asked Jaeyoung with a fishy smile. Keep a close eye... Ill show you how the Caribbean, a city of criminals, was able to survive and show off its strength until now. And the small port city of Izumi Sea, located in the northernmost part of the third continent, where Japanese users y, has beenpletely erased from the map. With an unknown attack from arge fleet waving a ck g from the Korean continent. [The port city of Kael has beenpletely destroyed.] [The Izumi Sea area has been forcibly upied by the ck Pirates.] [The linked quest upation of the base'' has been resolved.] [The area of the Shoen Empire has decreased by 1.9%.] [Across the continent Rumors about the ck Pirates begin to spread.] [The risk of inspectors and subjugation forces being dispatched from the empire is very high.] [ The linked quest Establish a defense line'' has been created.] In less than half a day, it is literally ashes under concentrated artillery fire. The port city of Kael has be a In thepletely ruined ce, the ck Pirates were busy moving around and carrying a lot of abandoned items to the ship. Hey, take only expensive valuables. Just throw away the bulky ones or bury them somewhere! Above all else, food and drinking watere first! yes! plunder. and plunder again. Carlos filled up the items needed to maintain thisrge-scale ship. He smiled contentedly. Hahaha. This is so much simpler than I thought. Because it is a port city, it is arge-scale warehouse built near the seashore. Carlos'' face seemed to be full ofposure, probably thanks to the discovery of the huge amount of food piled up there. You look in a good mood. Carlos shows off his teeth and smiles as if he doesn''t deny Jae-young''s words. He said, taking out a scroll with sharp eyes. of course. The food we just plundered was sufficient to operate the ship without starving for at least two months. The situation where each ship filled the empty food storage. So he said, unfolding the scroll he had just taken out with confidence that he could carry out his n. I asked what my n was earlier... This is my n. Other cities located in waters not too far from the waters where they are now, detailed in it. Taking out a small dagger and crushing them, Carlos said with a mad face. We will thoroughly destroy and plunder the cities here and make the name of our ck Pirates known on this continent. And all those bloody pig-like lords and the king''s minions whoe to wipe us out will be buried in the sea and let everyone know our will. We mean...? Jaeyoung looks at me as if asking what that is. Perhaps understanding his meaning, Carlos looked at the g of the ck Pirates fluttering above his head and said. Gather those who want to live their own lives free from the chains of rulers who exploit, oppress, and enrich their stomachs equally and freely, regardless of their social status or origin, regardless of their stained or dirty past. Carlos muttered softly. But at his words, someone continued. No one discriminates against you, despises you, criticizes you, or nders you. Under the ck g, we are brothers and sisters and bloodrades. thud. thud. No one told them to, but as if they had promised, they stopped what they were doing and everyone looked at Carlos and Jaeyoung and stomped their feet and shouted. Blood revenge for those in power. And liberty for the oppressed! Branded as criminals, we are free wanderers and liberators who part the sea! Those who gathered under the g first set up by Carlos decades ago, created a city called the Caribbean, and fought for freedom. Of course, it was a freedom that could have been maintained because it was neglected for various reasons, but they were more proud of the value they had created by shedding blood with their own two hands. And they... they were creating their own huge narrative again on this unfamiliar new continent that they had never known before. Whoever follows our will is a resident andrade of our homnd, the Caribbean. Gather! for freedom! Gather! For the liberation of you and me! With the determination to sink even the countless fleets into the sea, Carlos shouted while raising the ck cuss that was crying all the time. Unfold the sails! Advance to the next city! yes! Captain! And at that moment, an urgent notification was announced to the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which was peaceful. [The main scenario has been created.] [Act. 1 continent invasion.] Chapter 146 Chapter 146 Joseon''s Counterattack (3) Pirate King Carlos. The notoriety of terrorizing the entire continent in the past andpletely dominating the sea was not an exaggeration at all, but the truth. Kwak Kwa Kwam. Ha ha ha ha ha! Power bombardment! Don''t leave a single one behind and sink them all! Spreading and concentrating thousands of ships at will, annihting the iing enemies at once. The appearance of mercilessly subjugating all the ships in the depths of the sea without showing any mercy was the worst criminal on the continent. [Sinking a ship of the 1st Fleet of the Shen Imperial Navy...] [Sacking a ship of the 1st Fleet of the Shen Imperial Navy...] [Sinking a ship of the 1st Fleet of the Shen Imperial Navy... ] [Sinking a ship of the First Fleet of the Shen Imperial Navy...] A naval fleet of the Shen Empire came to subdue them. However, as if Carlos had been waiting for this situation, he naturally mobilized all his ships to surround and hunt them. Woo woo woo. And a ck cuss crying while emitting ck energy from his hand. Looking at it, Jaeyoung could understand why Carlos''s fleet was able to destroy the enemy''s fleet so mercilessly. [The fear of the ck sea engulfs the victims.] [The blessing of the ck sea dwells on the subordinate ship.] [ Overall stats increase by 100%.] [Combat power of subordinate crew members increases by 30%.] [Skill Absolutemand is triggered. Command power increases by 200%.] [The skill Ocean Ouw is activated. The morale of the enemy is reduced by 50%.] A powerful item that canpletely change the game of fleet battles. Terror of the ck Sea. Just a regr Carlos was so powerful that no admiral could ignore it, but this fraudulent legendary item, airlifted directly from the Devil World, consuming tremendous probability, was literally the same as putting wings on Carlos'' back. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Kill them all! Carlos gave orders while smiling madly with red bloodshot eyes as if he was possessed by madness. After one of thest ships of the Shen Empire, which was resplendent under his ruthlessmand, sank into the sea, countless messages appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The Shoen Empire''s Navy Admiral Armien has died.] [The Shoen Empire''s Navy 1st Fleet has been annihted.] [ The Shoen Empire''s naval control has been seized.] [Influence on peace negotiations with the Shoen Empire is greatly increased. .] [Shoen Empire''s influence is reduced by 7.8%.] [Legendary feat. The regr fleet of the Imperial Army was annihted using the pirates!] [Probability 283251 obtained.] [The defense of the linked quest base failed.] [The linked quest Peace Negotiation was created.] The ocean, which can be said to be the front yard of the Shoen Empire. Carlos and his ck Pirates suddenly appeared there and began to upy it. They shouted as they looked down at the countless wreckage floating on the sea. I won aaaaaaaaaaaaa! Long live the ck Pirates! Long live Carlos! ndslide victory. Of course, the number of ships was so great that the ck Pirates could not be defeated evenpared to the Shen Empire''s fleet, but all they lost were dozens of ships at the cost of sinking thousands, so it is a sea battle that will be recorded in history and will be remembered forever. There was no doubt that it was a perfect session. Hmm... pretty well chosen. hmm? what is the owner? Jaeyoung, who was quietly watching this whole process. He replied with a strange smile to Tan who asked back with a bewildered face. No... I like the painting more than I thought. What picture? There is such a thing. Jaeyoung mumbles something he doesn''t know and smiles. Although the beings of Arcadia, including Tan and El, did not know, he was clearly aware of it. The story of the world outside here turned upside down like a bomb exploded. [Raise the g.] [All fleet sortie.] Thetest video of Jaeyoung released by iPlus. Users who saw Carlos leading a fleet of thousands of ships and heading somewhere with a frantic deration in it were literally in a huge shock. [We will never stop until we find the new continent...] -New continent...? -What the fuck are you talking about again? it''s a new continent -It''s Dex! Dex did it again! Thement box has already exploded. There were a lot of chirashis guessing what the situation was, but among them, there was onement that received the most rmendation and went up to the top of the video. -This... isn''t the new continent referring to another continent? It''s the second continent for Korean users to y. America is one continent. Maybe there are multiple continents like that? Haha I just made a guess without thinking. However, those who pondered the spection naturally came to associate the continent they referred to whenever they made an official statement in Arcadia. [On the 2nd continent of Arcadia...] [What happened on the 1st continent of Arcadia...] [The service of the 4th continent of Arcadia...] Official position referring to a different number of continents for each country Arcadia Co., Ltd., which was announcing I thought that the concept of a server was simply referred to as a continent, but at this moment, people realized. Perhaps the fact that Arcadia may be a single world where users from all over the world y together on a single server. -Crazy, does that make sense? The number of real-time concurrent users alone would easily exceed a billion units? -Amodating that much traffic to a single server? You really need to do some bullshit. -I am a current server developer. A single server at this scale is impossible to rummage through and wake up to. -lol. If that''s the case, this virtual reality itself doesn''t even make sense in the first ce. -agreed. But again I don''t know. If it was what the threemanders did, I might understand. Argos Silico Ajin Electronics, which boasts ultra-futuristic technology that far surpasses the science and technology of the present era, suddenly brought virtual reality to the world. If the threemanders had intervened, it was a world where even nonsense becamemon sense, so users as well as reporters started to put all sorts of questions into Arcadia''s customer center without hesitation. Piri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-rik. And along with it, the customer service support center of the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. exploded again. Soon after, the Crisis Management and Response Team was receiving and responding to customer inquiries pouring in, but they soon ran into limitations. [No, where is that answer?] An official position will be announced soon. I''m sorry, but if you wait a little bit, I think you will be able to check the answer to your inquiry. Han Mi-na of the customer service support team bows her head and apologizes again when asked if Arcadia is a single server. As if she had lost the fresh and lively energy she had when she first joined thepany, she held onto the microphone in her headphones with frizzy hair and wide eyes. Several customers are asking the same question. We ask for your understanding that we cannot give the same exnation to each and every person in this regard. Mina informed her that she could not tell them about the rted facts and hung up the phone as politely as possible. But before she could catch her breath, she had no choice but to answer the phone again. I love you, customer. How can I help you? A response thates out mechanically. However, that person had a slightly different identity from the many clients Mina had received so far. [hello. I am Han Sang-wook, a reporter at KNB. I contacted Arcadia Co., Ltd. because I had an inquiry. Can I get an answer?] KNB is thergest terrestrial broadcasting station in Korea and has the greatest influence. Mina was a bit taken aback by the fact that she was a reporter belonging there, but soon asked in a calm voice. Could you confirm what kind of inquiry it is? [It''s not different, it''s a story that has recently be a hot topic on the Inte. There are growing suspicions that Arcadia, a virtual reality service in service around the world, is in fact operated as a single integrated server rather than separate servers for each country. I contacted you because I wanted to ask about the official position on this.] As expected, the reporter asking the same questions that are pouring into the customer center right now. Mina gave the same formal answer as the previous answer to his question. Sorry, sir. We ask for your understanding that we cannot respond to inquiries rted to this. We will deliver the contents of your inquiry to the upper management and respond to the official position as soon as possible. Also, for these inquiries, please contact the Arcadia Public Information Team, not the customer center, to inquire..... [ Hmm..... You say you can''t answer, but you don''t deny the suspicion? Are you saying that the content that is spreading on the Inte right now is not aplete lie?] A reporter who asks in a strangely suspicious voice. At his question, Mina spoke again with a puzzled face. This means that we cannot confirm whether it is false or true. Until the official position on that partes out, any spection or spective articles are at Arcadia Co., Ltd.... Oh my? Mina was trying to warn Mina strongly against the tone as if she was trying to find an excuse and write a novel on her own. However, she turned around in embarrassment when someone suddenly removed her headset from behind. The boss of thepany? President Lee Mi-yeon gives a signal to be quiet by putting a finger to her mouth when she came in. In the noisy space, where no one seemed to notice her presence, she was busy talking on the phone with customers. hello. [Um..... Who are you...?] Reporter Han Sang-wook seemed a bit taken aback when the caller suddenly changed. President Lee Mi-yeon spoke to him in a rxed tone. Are you the reporter who called the public rtions team earlier? I heard that you are still trying to contact the customer center with the same number, so I came to answer you directly. [Ah, is that so?] The reporter was delighted to hear that he would give an answer. CEO Lee Mi-yeon said to the reporter with a funny smile. Write it down. It''s probably a scoop you''ll never have again in your life. [yes? What is that...?] To a reporter who asked in a puzzled voice, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said as if making an announcement. As you inquired, the virtual reality game Arcadia is a world made up of a single server that is equally serviced throughout the world. ..... ...? A voice that wasn''t that loud. However, the entire customer service center, which seemed to be at the bottom of the noisy market, became quiet in an instant. Everyone just stared at President Lee Mi-yeon, who grabbed the headset with a shocked expression and informed them directly. [Is that really true?] It consists of a total of 8 continents, and each continent is grouped with a specific country or countries with simrnguages and cultures to provide services. For example, Europe or the Arab world... and Southeast Asia or Oceania would be such good examples. [Wait a minute..... Then how do you amodate that many people and keep the server stable? The opinion that that is practically impossible is prevalent among industry insiders?] Arcadia has over billions of subscribers and hundreds of millions of people y at the same time. As if he couldn''t believe that everything was being operated as a single server, he asked in a suspicious voice, making the sound of me typing on the keyboard while busy writing something. However, President Lee Mi-yeon answered the reporter''s question in a confident tone. It would be impossible with the general industry technology you mentioned. I can''t exin in detail... but at Arcadia Co., Ltd., we can only answer that it is possible. President Lee Mi-yeon is about to hang up the phone as if she had said all she wanted to say with that answer. The reporter''sst question hurriedly asked her over the receiver. [Can I know the title and name of the person who spoke to me right now?] Me? [yes. I need it when I write an article.] At that, she seemed to think about it for a moment, then answered with her eyes sparkling. President Lee Mi-yeon. [Yes..... Yes...?] The reporter''s voice seemed shocked to see if he had heard it wrong. However, as if what he had heard was not a lie, he heard her title and name clearly again in his ears. I am Lee Mi-yeon, the president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Chapter 147 Chapter 147 Joseon''s Counterattack (4) -Shock Arcadia Virtual Reality''s single server official poet. -Integrated server amodating billions of users. What is that reality? -Awesome industry. Data that is absolutely impossible with current technology. A secret revealed to the world as the official poet of President Lee Mi-yeon. The fact that Arcadia is a world that epasses the whole world has brought a great shock to the industry as well as to the game as a whole. -what? That this huge continent was only for Korea? -Fuck hahahaha. It was a really crazy game. How massive is the scale? - Somehow, the terrain ispletely different from the ce that foreign guys y. Wasn''t it the same continent? - Wow, a new continent! and! Integrated server! Crazy aaaaaaa!!! -But how do youmunicate? Should I use English when I meet them in the game? The continent they have been ying so far is not the end. And the fact that there is a world full of foreign users who y simrly to them across the continent strongly stimted the adventure and curiosity of users. - Was it Caribbean? Can I go to another continent if I go there? - Wasn''t that an area where only criminals could enter? - okay? Then kill anyone passing by and enter. - ??? After all, this ce is full of tough kids. In this way, Korean users on the second continent of Arcadia started flocking to the Caribbean one by one. Don''t ask, leaving behind the low-level users who shed bloody tears as their PK numbers skyrocketed. * * * When all sorts ofmotion is going on in Korea. The Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. was also unable to wake up to the main scenario that suddenly started and became aplete mess. what! Why is the main scenariopletely reversed all of a sudden! A huge epic main scenario that spans an entire continent. The Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which had been preparing by gradually scattering rice cakes to activate the main scenario, could not hide their embarrassment when apletely unexpected scenario suddenly appeared. And when I checked the details, I was even more shocked. [Main Scenario Act. 1 Continent Invasion] A port city of the peaceful Shoen Empire. Thousands of mysterious ships that suddenly appeared there attacked indiscriminately, destroyed everything, plundered, and disappeared. Defend the territory of the Empire from their attacks and defend the glory of the proud Shoen Empire. [Victory Conditions] -The death of Carlos, the ruler of the ck Pirates (0/1) -Destroy 80% of the ships of the ck Pirates (5%/80%) [Defeat Conditions] -Destroy 30 port cities along the coast (5/30) -Destroy the naval base of the Shoen Empire (0/1) < If the quest fails, some of the Shoen Empire''s sovereignty may be lost. > An unidentified pirate group that I have never heard of called the ck Pirates. An unheard-of harsh phrase written at the end along with a quest to protect the Shouen Empire from them. In response, Kazuki, who is in charge of the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., heard the report of the rted matter and could not hide his embarrassment. I''m sure the first main scenario was Secret of the Ancient Ruins'', wasn''t it? You said you were already in the middle of the core quest. That''s right. Apparently, until two days ago, there was no notice from the headquarters'' side. Shoto, the general manager of the scenario. When she mentioned headquarters, saying that she had confirmed the relevant information, Governor Kazuki nodded his head after noticing that it referred to Alice, an artificial intelligence known only to high-ranking executives even within the branch. however....? Obviously, there was no word until a few days ago, so why did you suddenly decide this ridiculous scenario as the main scenario? Have you been provided with information on the subject? That''s it.... Headquarters replied that they could not provide details of the quest. what....? Governor Kazuki puts on an absurd expression at Shoto''s words. To his expression, she also responded with a puzzled face. I was quite taken aback as it was a situation I had never experienced before. Until just now, I kept asking the head office, but they said it was a matter of restricting ess to information... Restricting ess to information. Unlike Korea, where people shed bloody tears and howled out loud because they were restricted as if they were eating rice, Arcadia Co., Ltd. Japan branch has never experienced this. As if he did not know how to deal with this unprecedented situation, Governor Kazuki remained silent with his mouth open for a moment with a dazed look on his face. Hey... maybe we can find out where this is the main scenario. The gaze is directed to one side. It was none other than Yozuku, the head of the marketing team, who stung as if surprised by the sudden rushing eyes. What do you mean, Yozuku? In response to Governor Kazuki''s question, he hurriedly takes out his smartphone and searches for something. Soon after, I showed him a video and said. This video was recently released on Arpendia. Lets take a look. Video yed in Korean. Although Kazuki was an outsider in Korean, there was no difficulty in understanding the contents of the video because of the subtitle function. [Toward another continent with me. It''s not just going with one ship, it''s the ck Pirates, the pride of the Caribbean, and all the ships that can cross the continent, flying the ck pirate g, and crossing the damned Endless Sea''. And at the end of it, we nt the g of the ck Pirates on a new continent we have never set foot on. Whether it''s the pirates who will be there or the proud pig-like lords. Everyone kneels in front of you and proudly proims it.] A user who appears to be a yer. He was whispering sweet words to arge, stern-looking man. Mention a new continent and nt their g there. [Criminals and pirates who are treated as bugs and treated as subhumans discovered a new continent that exists beyond the endless sea and took control of it, a feat that no kingdom or empire has ever aplished.] At the end, I saw countless ships leaving the end unknown. With the maddening words that they will note back until they find the new continent. What the hell is this? Governor Kazuki muttered with his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out after watching the video. He hurriedly grabbed the materials in front of him and began to search for something. Victory condition... Carlos, the ruler of the ck Pirates... this! Isn''t it the same as the quest content of the main scenario that has been invoked on our side now! The ck Pirates are constantly mentioned in the video. And at the fact that the contents of the quest in the main scenario that was activated this time were also included, Kazuki shouted with a shocked face. wait for a sec! This is a video taken by a user ying on the Korean continent right now! The ck Pirates mentioned in the Korean continent. When he realized that they were appearing as the first main scenario in the Japanese continent, a hypothesis naturally came to Kazuki''s head. And, as if thinking the same thing, Shoto muttered with a serious face. Those who are ying on the Korean continent... havee over to the Japanese continent. To nt their own g and seize control...? It''s not a peaceful exchange, but uninvited guests who came to destroy everything, plunder, and eat thend. The fact that it was an action by a user ying in Korea, not another country, caused a violent stir in the conference room. Was it originally possible to cross over to another continent...? No, the information about the single server waspletely confidential, right? How already...? Oh my God..... why did youe to our continent? Those who frown and sigh deeply at the fact that something very annoying has suddenly happened. Kazuki, who was looking at such subordinates, blushed with anger. Lets sort it out, Shoto. Hey! Listen carefully to what I am saying and correct me if there is anything wrong. Hey! At those words, Kazuki took a deep breath in, exhaled, and then asked. First of all, the first main scenario we were nning right now. Is it true that the reason why its broken and reced with something else is because of one of the damn bastards in this video? ...If you look at the situation, it is. At an unexpected moment, the main scenario was interrupted by something other than something prepared. However, it was not that the scenario that was being pursued waspletely distorted, but once the main scenario had urred, it was difficult to enforce the prepared scenario. That''s because the first scenario happened because of the invaders who came to upy Nawabari. And... did this goddamn Josenjing dare to invade the Japanese continent now? Joe Sensing. A word of hate deeply rooted in a deep, deep history of resentment. When Kazuki asked the question, using the word freely, the meeting room suddenly became quiet without even a sound of breathing. As if to prove that he was so mad, Kazuki asked again, stuttering. Answer me, is my judgment wrong now? Shoto pondered for a long time at his question, which urged him to answer again, and then said as if giving up. ...I believe that the branch manager''s judgment was not wrong. If the group appearing in the video you just saw is the one that appears on the Azumi coast right now... This exins why the content of the video and the theme of this scenario are the same. [Act. Invasion of the 1st continent.] Those who openly said that they would nt their gs in the Shoen Empire and in the 3rd continent, which is in charge of the Arcadia Japan branch. At the mad remarks of an NPC named Carlos and a user named Dex who encouraged him, Kazuki gnashed his teeth so hard that he was worried that his teeth might break. puddeudeuk. The name of the channel on which the video was uploaded.... A daily life of a destroyer? And the users nickname is Dex? Kazuki muttered to himself for a long time with his eyes closed as if he was contemting a future response n in his head. He said, throwing the smartphone in his hand back to the original owner. Yozuku. Hey! Call the Korean branch right now, check the rted matters, and strongly protest against the triggering of the main scenario. We also ask that the Korean branch provide us with all the information it knows about this Dex user. Hey! And Kazuki''s orders didn''t end there. The bnce team and operation team should closely look at thepanys bws and operating policies, check and report all sanctions and countermeasures that can be taken against users who have caused suchrge-scale damage. Whether it''s a way to give us an advantage or a way to weaken the ck Pirates, I won''t care. Hey! Kazuki gnashing his teeth and ordering with cold eyes, as if he would not hesitate to even withdraw the permanent ban for rogue users. And he looked at Shoto and said. Request the head office again about this scenario. I will take all possible measures to nullify the current scenario, so please restore the scenario that was being promoted in the Japanese continent. All right. We will proceed immediately. After giving each one a job to do, Kazuki zed up his will fiercely, as if he couldn''t dare to give in to Josenjing''s aggression that threatened the Japanese Empire just because it was a game, and told them all again. Be alert, this is an invasion by the Josenjing. I won''t leave you alone if you''re pushed behind by them. Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Joseon''s Counterattack (5) A fact revealed to the world by President Lee Mi-yeon. The news that Arcadia is a virtual reality consisting of a single and integrated server serviced all over the world hit the world and made a noise. And, of course, it was her subordinates who died because of her sudden action. yes? No, even if you ask us about how to maintain a single server... Sorry. The original technology of capsules is not possessed even by the head office. For details, it is better to contact Ajin Electronics... Reporters asking about rted information. And then, when everyone is struggling with calls from programmers and IT workers who call blindly with excitement and curiosity. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was more serious than ever at the sudden video call. [I received the gift from Korea very well. Kwon Myung-han Sang. Unbeknownst to us, Japan has done something very interesting in the area responsible for it.] Kazuki, the general manager of Arcadia Japan, greets you with a thorny tone. The executive director who rmended his hostile attitude also countered. Please call me by your title, Governor Kazuki. I must have forgotten... Although I am the managing director, in reality I have the same authority and position as you. Unlike other branches, President Lee Mi-yeon resides in the Korean branch. Because of her presence, Kwon Myeong-han was given the title of executive director, but his practical authority and responsibilities were no different from those of other branch heads, so he was the general manager of the Korean branch. And again, everything that is happening in the Japanese continent this time has nothing to do with us. Of course, I was aware of the rted situation in advance, but the person in charge immediately notified me of the rted fact through the contact channel with yourpany. [...I haven''t received anything from us...?] Kazuki, who has never heard of it before. Seeing him like that, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han sighed and said, Check again. Our side has clearly conveyed the relevant information, so unless something went wrong with their reporting system, there''s no reason Kazuki wouldn''t be aware of it. Although he spoke politely, the remarks of Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon stimted the nting. As if he didn''t like that, Kazuki made a snarky expression and criticized something else. [Let''s check thatter... If not, what are you doing right now? Isn''t it normal procedure for the Korean branch to stop this from happening in advance!] Normal procedure? What the hell does that mean? Executive Director Kwon Myung-han asked with a puzzled face as if he had no idea. Seeing him like that, Kazuki said in frustration. [They should have adjusted some of the bnce to prevent the progress of rted quests, or if that didn''t work, the operator should have actively intervened to stop it! What are we going to do if we just blindly let users do what they do! Do you know how much damage has been caused to the Japanese continent by this incident?] Kazukiys out various ways to prevent this incident to the executive director, who rmended the gist of game management is not like that''. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who had been silently listening to his words,''s expression gradually changed to one of absurdity. And then I couldn''t help but burst intoughter. Cheuk.... hahahahaha. [What are you doing now! Do my words sound funny!] Kazuki''s face flushed red as if he had received a huge insult. Seeing him like that, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han felt ironic. And I realized How fun and exciting it bes when you are looking at this situation from the perspective of a third party, not your own. And realizing anew that he was a human no different from Kazuki, who was trembling and trembling, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han left a sincere advice. Infinite freedom. And endless possibilities. [...?] Kazuki looks at him with strange eyes as if he can''t understand him who suddenly makes an iprehensible sound. Irrespective of his gaze, Kwon Myung-han continued to speak. The motto that Arcadia, which we service, pursues. Users are free to move as they please and choose only the things they want to do. Their small movements, each of these actions be the story of Arcadia and be a huge narrative. If you think of these points... you will probably feel how fictitious it is to imagine the main scenario in thepany and expect users to move ording to our will like pieces on a chessboard. Just like I did. [What the hell is that...] Didn''t the user who moved to the Japanese continent say Dex? As a gift, we will hand over all the y information that our Korean branch has collected about that user to them. [That''s a thank you sound.....] There''s nothing to be thankful for. The information we collect is only public information released on the Inte. The user''s detailed information is restricted from reading by Alice, so I couldn''t check any of the items. [what what? What the hell is that...?] Oh and... onest piece of advice. Taking out arge bag of popcorn from the desk drawer and tearing it open, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han turned to Executive Director Kazuki, who was making an absurd face, and said. The narrative created by the user has no choice but to be solved by the user. You will realize just how feeble and powerless our management is in this game. I wish you luck. Having given such authority, the managing director unterally cut off the connection with Kazuki. And with a calm and rxed face after a long time, he lifted a popcorn and put it in his mouth. Today''s popcorn must have been the sweetest popcorn in his life. * * * When the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is grasping the facts. The actions of Carlos and the ck Pirates were unstoppable. This crazy... Does level 240 make sense? Isnt it a bug? What main scenario is this! The first main scenario announced throughout the Japanese continent. The fact that it was created for the first time received a lot of attention and Japanese users ran to protect the Shouen Empire. However, what they encountered was a powerful pirate group with an average level of over 180. joy! Those who call themselves adventurers are all weaklings. Carlospletely wiped out a vige again. As he polished his sword, he murmured in disappointment. And at his reaction, Jaeyoung said with a slightly absurd face. ...Have you ever thought that you are too strong? Caribbean, one of the five forbidden regions. The basic level of the heinous criminals of the Caribbean was set so high that even rankers could not dare to deal with it, probably because the purpose was to prevent users from easily approaching it. And especially in the case of Carlos. [Lv. 240 Carlos, the Pirate King.] As if he boasts that he is a special NPC among specials, he boasts his overwhelming power alone. It would be the same among Korean users, but there was no way that there would be any users who could deal with him in Japan, which started the serviceter than Korea. Aren''t you able to deal with me enough? I don''t know if it''s powerless... To be honest, the intense smell of blood and bad karma that I feel from you is so huge that even I can''t handle it..... Carlos speaks seriously next to Jaeyoung, twitching his nose. When the vicious pirate king, who had pushed ten viges away whileughing, praised (?) that he was more vicious than himself, Jaeyoung put on a shit-chewed expression. Of course, Tan shook his head as if agreeing with his thoughts. Hey. After all, a bad bastard recognizes a bad bastard. There are humans who recognize the evil and vicious exploits of their masters! Look at this. I''ve said it over and over again... And Tan whispers in Jae-young''s ear about the dreaded special lecture, bothering him. As Tan''s words went through one ear, Jaeyoung asked Carlos. So... how long do we have to continue doing this? A strategy used by Carlos and the ck Pirates so far. It was a typical pirate strategy hit and run. Guerri warfare that appears in an instant andpletely destroys a town or vige that looks easy on the coast, sweeps up all the necessary items there, and flees by boat to another ce. That''s why the hugend power of the Shen Empire, whose naval power was destroyed in a careless moment, had no choice but to watch the ck Pirates gnashing their teeth and running away. Ah, I was going to discuss the matter anyway. Maybe they figured out our trick, and now every vige has put away all the cannons that can be used as weapons somewhere, so supply is running out. Until now, the ck Pirates had been supplying themselves with plunder. However, perhaps that method was widely known, there were only viges where food, artillery, and other useful items had disappeared. First of all, after robbing viges and interrogating the captive Navy bastard about the surrounding terrain... the best ce for us to sit-in is right here. A map of the Shoen Empire''s maritime operations obtained as loot. Carlos''s eyes lit up as he pointed to a single bay in the wide-spreading coastal area. Poseia, thergest naval base in the Shoen Empire. I''ve heard that it''s a heavenly fortress and stores arge amount of military supplies. If we take control of this ce, we won''t be able to even touch thend power of the Shoen Empire. Terrain in the form of an elongated bay. Therefore, it was the best ce to deploy space defense for a long time if thend power could not enter at once and Carlos''s fleet, which could not even be easily approached, took control. But... there is one problem. problem? That''s... I found out that the entire Poseia has a defensive magic circle installed by the archmage himself. Although it consumes an enormous amount of mana... Its defense is said to be strong enough to lightly block attacks from normal naval guns. As thergest naval base in the Shoen Empire, Poseia is equipped with a thorough defense system. It was unclear whether Carlos''s fleet would be able to prate it with the firepower of his fleet, and no matter how he prated the defensive magic circle, it was clear that he would suffer enormous damage until hepletely captured the fortress. Umm... It must be difficult to attack easily. Because all the maritime forces of the Shoen Empire are concentrated. After getting a hot taste from us outside, we are hiding in that Poseia and locking it with a bolt. Carlospletely submerged the 1st naval fleet of the Shen Empire, which was the most important force. Because of this, all the other remaining fleets avoided direct engagement in a defensive fashion. Waiting for the supplies of the ck Pirates to run outpletely, they entered a battle of attrition without a promise. It was not urgent right now, but there was a high possibility that it would turn into a serious problem if a solution was not prepared in the near future. And Jaeyoung asked Carlos who was thinking about something with a serious face. Then, if you can neutralize only that defensive magic circle, is there any problem in taking control of Poseia? ...Without the defense magic circle, that would be a piece of cake. Then don''t worry about that. I will take responsibility and release it. what....? Carlos is making an absurd expression at those words. Jaeyoung gave him a strange smile and told him an unknown story. Who is the answer to those who only believe in the defense and stage sit-ins? Chapter 149 Chapter 149 Joseon''s Counterattack (6) Poseia, thergest naval base of the Shoen Empire. The 1st Fleet, which was the pride of the Empire and the strongest fleet, was stationed in the fortress of heavenly blessings, and was now engaged in defensive battles with its bolts locked tightly. Huh ... damn somehow, we have been insulted. Grand Admiral Caravel, who oversees all naval forces in the Shouen Empire. He gnashed his teeth, exuding intense resentment towards his predecessor who, along with the entire 1st Fleet, was sunk underwater. Even if I hadnt been careless thinking that bastard was a pirate... No, I wouldnt have been put on the defensive this far if I had minimized the damage and protected the 1st Fleet. predecessor''s ipetence. As a result, the Shen Empire''s navy, fearing that they would be hunted rather than subjugating them because they were outnumbered, gathered all their fleets and started a defensive battle. Because of that, I had no choice but to keep my eyes open as the ck Pirates freely roamed the coastal waters of the Shoen Empire, destroying all kinds of coastal cities and ports. Don''t worry, Admiral. Still, as youmanded, we evacuated all supplies and personnel from coastal cities in advance to cut off the pirates'' supply system. Now, if they hold out a little longer, they will suffer from extreme material shortages. Pirates who are at the limit of being unable to get out of the sea. That''s why Caravel knew very well that if the war of attrition continued over time, the Empire would eventually win. More than that... there are strange rumors going around about the identities of those pirates? Arge-scale fleet that suddenly appeared at any moment. Beaten by their indiscriminate attacks, the Shen Empire mobilized all their intelligence and began to gather information about them, and as a result, they were able to obtain strange information from the adventurers. As a result of collecting stories floating around among adventurers, we have secured many testimonies that there are several continents beyond the Endless Sea'' in addition to our continent, and that the pirates came from other continents. ...that''s really absurd. The sea of death that reaches beyond the ocean at some point. The boundless and unpredictable sea and the unidentified giant sea monsters that appear at every moment. That''s why until now, everyone on the continent, including Caravel, had taken it for granted that the continent where they live and hold their ground is everything in this world. However, the thick papers handed over by his aide directly shattered Caravel''s thoughts. It seems that the emperor did not think of it as an absurd story. [There is another world beyond the endless sea.] The emperor of the Shoen Empire took an interest in this ridiculous story. Under hismand, the ancient literature, ruins, and folklore artifacts that exist throughout the empire... As a result of collecting, checking, and putting the puzzle pieces together, the Shouen Empire had no choice but to acknowledge it. That they had been living as frogs in a well. This....? An order with the emperor''s seal on it. The fact that the Emperor of the Shen Empire had a directmand to her, Caravel opened the seal with a bright eyes and immediately opened it. ..... Looking at it, Caravel silently thought as if struggling with something. The staff member, who was watching him from the side, cautiously asked if he could not hold back his curiosity. Can you tell me what order was given? He told us to stop the attack of vicious invaders from other continents at all costs. However, the order that Caravel had handed to him contained additional information. And the pupils of the staff member who confirmed the contents widened. This is...? And he told me to rebuild the annihted 1st Fleet again. An absolutely invincible fleet that is iparably huge and powerful and no one can stop it. The Emperor''s order to build a fleet dozens of timesrger than before. As if to do whatever you want without worrying about the budget, he said to explosively increase the naval power on a scale that would onlye out if a few pirs of the empire were pulled out. Admiral, I can''t believe that His Majesty the Emperor asked me to increase the naval power like this... A power increase that will cost gold to the extent that even the emperor of the empire with great power would not dare to promote it. Not too foolish to understand the meaning of these orders now, the two were able to see exactly what the Emperor was drawing. The fact that the pirates have crossed over must mean that we too can cross over to other continents. Of course, a thorough preliminary investigation would be necessary, but if only that year could be identified... Arge-scale air raid that was iparable to the scale of the current attack. Through it, the Emperor of the Shen Empire intended to avenge the blood to wash away the disgrace he was experiencing. Crossing the continent, nting the g of the Shoen Empire on a new continent and making thend an empire. Khehehehe... Caravelle began to turn the happy circuit furiously in her head, imagining the immense wealth, power, and honor that would return to her if the Emperor''s n seeded. Imagine yourself as the Grand Admiral inmand of the mightiest Shoen Empire''s naval forces, the first conqueror to conquer another continent, and praised as a great victor. Admiral, enemy ships are approaching. However, the present reality broke the wings of his happy imagination. A very urgent cry from the watchtower. Upon hearing the report, Caravel climbed onto the railing and took out a telescope to carefully examine the ships that began to appear on the horizon in the distance. The ck Pirates... do you dare to conquer the core strategic points of the empire? Numerous ships with fluttering ck gs. However, Caravel''s face looking at it was full ofposure. Rather, he asked the staff with a mocking face as if he wasughing. Is the defense magic circle all right? That''s right. Currently, defensive magic is activated throughout Poseia, and enough mana stones and wizards of the Protect School are also on standby to maintain it. A magic circle designed and installed by the Archmage of the 7th Circle of the Shouen Empire. Although it required a tremendous amount of mana, it was not a flimsy barrier that could be pierced by a mere cannon attack. Not mere pirates have high level mages... We''ll just have to wait until their firepower runs out. When they poured all their firepower with all their might to break through the shield. Aiming only for the moment when they would be most vulnerable, Caravel''s eyes shone. Prepare all attackers and wait. As soon as their attacks stop, they immediatelyunch a counterattack. Yes, I understand. It''s time to burn all the gs of those arrogant pirates. * * * Ummm..... L with a serious expression on his face thinking about something. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung asked curiously. El, what happened all of a sudden? it''s nothing. L continues to make a silent sound as if he is in great agony and whines to himself while thinking about something. Seeing her reaction, Jaeyoung couldn''t hold back his curiosity and asked. Why are you doing that? Is it because you dont like what Im doing? L didn''t like the various things that happened in the process of helping Carlos invade another continent. Of course, she thought that the current situation, which made Carlos'' ambition to overthrow the entire continent unleashed in a different way, was the best, but there was no way she would like to bring chaos to Arcadia. no. It''s true that I don''t like it, but that has nothing to do with it. L hesitated about something and wrapped up his headache again. Seeing her reaction, Jaeyoung asked again. What is it? let''s talk for a while If there''s anything I can help with, I''ll help. Even at Jaeyoung''s words, L hesitated for a long time. Then she pointed her finger at Poseia where Carlos'' fleet was heading and said. Then... over there, if possible... that fortress we are about to attack. Yeah, why is that fort? Can youpletely and irreparably destroy everything so that it can never be recovered again? what....? Hey chicken wings... what did you just say? Do you think I heard wrong? An unexpected request. Jaeyoung and Tan froze with their mouths open as if they were shocked by Lspletely unexpected remark. No, wait... I''m not saying to do it in moderation... just destroy everything? yes. No... why...? An angel who should love peace and life. It is also their leader, the archangel Michael. As she was asking Satan to do a favor, Jaeyoung wondered what the situation was. ...Because that''s right. what....? I cant tell you exactly, but... I can see it. In order to prevent further chaos and sacrifice... the fact that the fortress over there and everything in it must be burned down. Archangel Michael, who saw the flow of a huge narrative flowing out of control. Although it was fragmentary, she realized after reading about the huge war between continents that would happen if that fortress were in good health. In order to prevent a huge tragedy, that one fortress was only a small sacrifice that must be made. This crazy..... Its the first time Ive ever had ament stolen from a chicken in my life. Confusion! Destruction! Tan, shouting annihtion!'' He looked at El with strange eyes, wondering if he could not adapt to the situation he was experiencing for the first time, and wrote down something. Chicken chicks... are sometimes vicious... as expected, the owner... brings out even the viciousness of an angel... a great... being... Another strange A shot that turns things off. However, Jaeyoung left him behind and asked L again. Are you serious about that request...? You cant stop a huge narrative that is already flowing. But... in that huge narrative, we each choose the best we can in our own circumstances. ..... L makes a contradictory choice in the value of goodness. Jaeyoung nodded her head as she looked at her lookingplicated with a lot of thoughts. okay. If it''s your request, I''ll do it. Jae-young, who was nning topletely take over the fortress anyway, even if it wasn''t for her request. So he epted her request without hesitation. Hey Dex! Now slowly enter the range! What are you going to do with that magic circle! Numerous siege weapons and magic began to fly from Poseia. and cannons. Carlos''s fleet, which was narrowly out of range, continued to move forward while being hit by a wave of water flying high from an attack from the water. Now the situation has advanced to the point where the attack cannot be undone. That''s why Carlos looked at Jaeyoung and shouted urgently. We need to neutralize that magic circle right now! Otherwise we are all dead! At those words, Jaeyoung looked at L and asked. Can I borrow your El power? ..... L nodded without saying anything. In response to her reaction, Jaeyoung murmured as she stood at the head of the ship. Merlin, the great mage of truth. Whoops. At the same time, a group of lights shining brilliantly from Jaeyoung. And around Jaeyoung''s body, a huge magic power began to vibrate like crazy. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh This... what the hell is this...? The huge sea that stretched out in front of Carlos''s fleet. The sea began to raise its heavy body. This crazy..... Oh my God... A wall of water rising to a height of dozens... no, almost a hundred meters. As if there was an invisible wall in front of them, the water barrier stood tall and blocked all of Poseia''s magic, arrows, and artillery fire that poured toward their ship. This cant be... What the hell! What is going on! When Carlos and the entire pirate crew were agitated and shouting with shocked faces. Jaeyoung, who created this ridiculous transfer, was concentrating on something as he was floating in the air. And they shuddered as they felt the huge magic power swirling around him. Weiying. The circle of a heart beating furiously. Jaeyoung, who was casting while delicately controlling the mana that was about to explode, finished all the preparations and released the huge water barrier full of destructive mana. Heading toward Poseia, the proud naval base of the Shoen Empire. Tidal Wave. Chapter 150 Chapter 150 Joseon''s Counterattack (7) Virtual Reality Arcadia. In this game, which provides a perfect virtual reality that is indistinguishable from reality, the job most people chose was none other than a wizard. As expected, the magicians are the strongest! It doesnt get any more subtle than that. An effect that cannot bepared to that of aputer game! How many circles do you learn fly magic? Did you be a wizard because you wanted to fly? For a powerful one-shot, because of the skills with various additional effects, or to build a superficial Gao. The reasons were various, but most of the users who chose wizards were frustrated because of the barriers that became higher than any other job as they grew. -No, there are so many types of magic, but why is the cost of acquiring magic so expensive? learn when -lol. Why are you learning all of that? You just need to learn the skills you need. - Be grateful for what money can push. There is no skill to learn even if it is only 6 circles..... - Unless you enter the tower and be a high-ranking disciple, the limit is from 5 circles. -??? No, then how do you learn 7th or 8th circle magic? - Ask the dragon to ept you as a disciple. There is no published method at all. The difficulty of learning magic increases exponentially from the moment you go beyond the 1st or 2nd circle, where you can learn magic at a popr and cheap price, and the 4th circle, which you can reach if you grow hard with some attachment. In addition, in order to learn high-level magic, if you belong to the Mage Tower, there are various magic research and quests that are conducted there. They really required a tremendous amount of understanding and study, equivalent to real academic research, so it was not an area that anyone could dare to touch except for a few users. [I would like to give some advice to users who y Arcadia.... The wizard''s job will be incredibly powerful as the level of power increases, but the process will be arduous and difficult beyond imagination. So, to be honest, if you want to have fun ying Arcadia, I rmend taking a different job. I think it''s probably the most difficult job to foster.] Arcadia''s bnce officials picked and acknowledged wizards as the most difficult job, so wizards weren''t a job that light users who enjoyed lightly would dare to touch. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ah... Poetry God...! But nheless. The power of a wizard who reached a transcendental state who realized the magic of the 8th circle beyond the limits of human beings that exists only in legends was strong enough to endure all the hardships and difficulties. Woo woo woo woo. A huge magical storm. Jae-Young floated in the center and created a huge water barrier to swallow everything. All who gazed at him looked to God with mouths open in overwhelming awe. This cant be... A tremendous amount of magical power took over the entire sea area of Poseia, enough to make even Carlos shake his eyes. However, Jaeyoung was focused on the window in front of him, so he was not in the mood to grasp the situation around him. [The 8th circle magic Tidal Wave has been cast.] [The mini-game for casting has started.] [Casting can be canceled if the mini-game fails.] The first 8th circle magic among users. And Jaeyoung couldn''t help but be embarrassed by the sudden start of the mini game. This crazy..... rhythm game...?'' A rhythm game that I often yed in arcades when I was young. When the screen of the familiar interface appeared, Jaeyoung was dumbfounded, but was shocked when he realized the scale of the notes that started pouring in. Fuck! How can I break this! There are 14 lines of notes given to Jaeyoung, who has 10 fingers. In addition, there are two turntables that need to be turned at the right timing in between. It was a tough and maddening level of difficulty that made me wonder if this was something humans could break. Ta-ta-ta-ta-tata-tata-tata-tak. However, as soon as the game started, Jae-young regained hisposure as if he had been flustered and started clearing the notes one by one, instinctively using his hands quickly. As he began to build upbos and maintain his perfection, magical powers around him began to move strangely. [Perfect magic operation increases magic efficiency.] [Implementation of a magic circle without superfluity. Casting time is shortened.] [Perfect Combo. The power of magic increases slightly.] Ugh. Score points increase at an imperceptibly fast speed. And at the same time, a huge magical storm began to wrap around Jaeyoung''s body. How long has it been since you''ve been trance-like in mini-games? The countless notes started to decrease little by little, and it was only after finishing the final finish that Jaeyoung was able to realize. In the midst of a tremendous magical storm, I was floating in the air with my clothes fluttering, and a huge water barrier rising in front of my eyes. And the appearance of the ck Pirates standing nkly with faces in shock and fear. Wow..... What is the real identity of the owner? Casting such great magic on a subject who is not even a wizard? To such a perfect level? I''ve felt it before, but... after all... you''re not an ordinary human. novelty. And L with a face mixed with surprise and a serious look. The two of them were also looking at Jaeyoung in disbelief. It was definitely very difficult. If you are stubborn, you will fail. If you miss the timing even once, the notes pour in to the point where you have no choice but to fail right away without a chance to recover. Even Jae-young said that it was an extremely atrocious difficulty level, so he said he cleared it because he was lucky, so he said it humbly, but Tan''s expression was more absurd at those words. No... Is it difficult to cast such a disaster-level magic like this...? It shouldn''t be on that level...? If this was done to a tricky level, the 9th circle would have already been running among humans a long time ago, right? Tan and L, who never believed. That would be the case, too, because from the magic of the 8th circle, it was the ultimate great magic that was almost impossible to even directly witness to the extent that it was said to be a power only allowed to the strongest dragons in Arcadia. And the fact that the ultimate magic, which would not be different from natural disasters, was cast so perfectly in the first attempt on a human subject, not a wizard, was an abnormal situation that was beyond the scope of understanding of the demon king and the archangel. Ask me about thatter. Because it seems like I''m getting overloaded. Woo woo woo. The great sea barrier was crying as if begging to be freed. Jaeyoung also turned his head, promisingter on the two, who seemed to be bombarded with questions right now, as his mana management was gradually reaching its limits. ^$#$#^#^$#^#$. Poseia''s troops screaming and shaking and running around. Looking down at them, Jaeyoung gave an evil smile and recited the ultimate magic spell. Tidal Wave. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A water barrier that falls freely when the magical power that restrained it disappears. The ce where the waves of the great ocean were headed was Poseia, the proud naval fortress of the Shoen Empire. Woo woo woo. A wide-area defense shield that reveals itself with intense light the moment Tidal Wave is about to devour Poseia. However, the powerful shield that the 7th Circle Archmage himself designed and built was so helpless in front of the devastating 8th Circle Magic that imbued it with transcendent magical power. Aaaaaaaaang. A huge wave that sweeps away everything with a huge shockwave. When it collided with Poseia, everything copsed in vain. Aaaaaaaaa! Buy and save me! A fortress wall that seemed to block any artillery fire, a superrge ship that could amodate thousands of people, and a lighthouse that was hundreds of meters high that could be seen from far away on the horizon. The mighty fortress, which was built by a great amount of manpower through blood and sweat for a long time, all of it disappeared in a natural disaster. Oh my god ..... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. They gulped and groaned as if they were grateful that they were not there. And after the huge tidal wave swallowed everything, there was no one left in Poseia, which became a disastrous ruin. [The 2nd Fleet of the Shen Empire has been annihted.] [The 3rd Fleet of the Shen Empire has been annihted. [The 4th Fleet of the Shoen Empire...] [The Shoen Empire...] [All naval forces of the Shoen Empire have been destroyed.] [The naval fortress Poseia has beenpletely destroyed.] [Title Catastrophe'' Acquired the Driver''.] [Acquired the title Master of Magic''.] [Acquired a probability of 370000.] The powerful and gigantic naval fortress Poseia, as well as the entire naval force of the Shoen Empire, who hid in it and conducted space defense. Jaeyoung''s 8th circle magic that destroyed everything. Thanks to that, he got two titles and a huge amount of probability in an instant, but the price was also formidable. [The Spirituality skill has ended.] [The settlement of the duration and yer''s actions has begun.] [689751 probability has been consumed.] The Spirituality skill gnawed away nearly twice the probability obtained. But before Jaeyoung could say anything, L hit the head first and spoke. Ill tell you in advance just in case... but I really requested the minimum probability. It''s nothing else, I used the 8th circle magic like this, but you can''tin about taking too much with it. ..... That is really without conscience. If it had been the bat instead of me, it would have been more than this, not less. Heng... well, that''s true. If it were me, I would have taken at least 1 million. I have twisted all the causalities like this, but if I just take it, is there anything left? As if it wasn''t wrong, Tan took L''s side and muttered something strange. In response to his reaction, Jaeyoung also scratched his head as if he was embarrassed. I was prepared, but its a lot more than I thought. To burn out more than earned. A fraudulent, all-around skill savior, to the point that the word fraudulently came out of his mouth. However, if not used properly, it was a double-edged sword-like skill that would consume a muchrger amount of probability than it earned and make a deficit. However, although Jaeyoung suffered a loss in probability, he did not think it was a waste considering the many gains he would see elsewhere. If this is uploaded as a video, how many more views will it get? Huh? What is the owner? Nothing. Tan tilted his head when he saw Jaeyoung smiling with a strangely happy face without expressing anyint even though he suffered a loss in probability, but he did not know why. And the moment the ck Pirates move forward to upy Poseia, which has be ruins. The situation at the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which was watching everything, was a crucible of chaos just 5 minutes before the opening. what! What the hell is going on right now! The Shouen Empire Fleet Annihted! Poseiaplete! The territory of the Shoen Empire has been partially upied by the ck Pirates! What are you talking about! The defensive magic circles installed all over Poseia! Im checking the previous data right now...! They said they were incapacitated by the 8th circle magic... The 8th circle? Chick Show! What bullshit! Sorry. We will check again. 9 months and 3 days after Arcadia official serviceunch in Korea. This dayter became a historical day, a day that splendidly decorated the incidents and idents in Arcadia. The day when the first 8th circle magic appeared and Korea upied part of the Japanese continent even in the game. Chapter 151 Chapter 151 Cataclysm (1) Third Continent of Arcadia. Japanese users who started ying the game peacefully by stepping into virtual reality for the first time here. They went crazy over the whole notification that came out of nowhere one day without warning. [Main Scenario Act. 1 Invasion of the continent has begun.] [The linked quest Pirates has been created.] [Please check rted information.] Oh? The main scenario? Hey... what is this? A quest that flew to all users. Those who confirmed the contents all opened their mouths with puzzled expressions. [Main Scenario Act. 1 Continent Invasion] A port city of the peaceful Shoen Empire. Thousands of mysterious ships that suddenly appeared there attacked indiscriminately, destroyed everything, plundered, and disappeared. Defend the territory of the Empire from their attacks and defend the glory of the proud Shoen Empire. [Victory Conditions] -The death of Carlos, the ruler of the ck Pirates (0/1) -Destroy 80% of the ships of the ck Pirates (5%/80%) [Defeat Conditions] -Destroy 30 port cities along the coast (5/30) -Destroy the naval base of the Shoen Empire (0/1) < If the quest fails, some of the Shoen Empire''s sovereignty may be lost. > The Shoen Empire...? Isn''t this the empire located to the north? Isnt that an area that hasnt been investigated yet? But more than that, what kind of pirates? What kind of sudden naval battle is this...? The situation where the activity radius of the majority of users has not yet moved beyond the center of the continent. So, many were hesitant about the fact that the first main scenario had suddenly started in a ce in the north where users had yet to reach. No... do I have to go all the way there? Even if I leave right now, I think I will have to move for at least a week... But what is the penalty? Some of the sovereignty of the Shoen Empire is lost? If something fails, even the territory will be taken away? Annoyance and uncertainty due tock of information. Even at the moment when users were hesitant for various reasons, the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. was running around sweating to put this quest to rest. No, why the hell is it not being patched? Branch manager Kazuki growled as he stared at the monitor with a frown on his face. At the harsh tone of the question, a dry female voice came from the speaker. [There is ack of an urate basis for bncing.] Didn''t I exin it earlier! The naval power of the Shen Empire seems too weak, so I''m going to raise it to about 5 times the currentbat power! I just need to adjust the normal numbers, so why not! Alice, an artificial intelligence who doesn''t move no matter how old and calmed by the bnce management team. In response to her stubbornness, even Governor Kazuki tried to adjust the bnce to stop the ck Pirates, but Alice did not back down at all. [The Shoen Empire''s maritime power is at a high levelpared to other empires and kingdoms. Therefore, it was judged that further strengthening at the current level would harm the bnce. Also...] Alice exins that the Shoen Empire''s maritime power is strong enough with specific graphs and various detailed data. In response to her exnation, Governor Kazuki had nothing to say, so he kept his mouth shut with a poopy expression on his face. [...Also, this bnce adjustment was judged to be an unfair patch targeting specific users. Therefore, in the end, the request for bnce adjustment for the strengthening of the Shoen Empire''s naval power is rejected.] Alice finally beats the refusal without any adjustment. At her words, Kazuki repeatedly pounded on the desk as if frustrated. No, then what should I do in this situation! Because of the current situation on the two continents, our continent has seen all the damage, so are we just watching this with our eyes open! It wasn''t something that happened in the Japanese continent, but something that started from the Korean continent, which was not even in the distance. They quietly y games there. Why did they bother toe to their far-flung jurisdiction andmit such a ruckus? It was the moment Kazuki, the branch manager, desperately needed to withdraw from the permanent ban. Did you say Dex? ording to the video posted on Arfandia, it''s because of that bastard, but what the heck are you doing without sanctioning malicious users who damage the entire game in this way? Is the Korean management team running the operation like that! Kazuki, the branch manager, rebukes Ellis as if to relieve the umted resentment of Kwon Myeong-han. However, Alice''s insipid answer only scratched his insides and upset him even more. [This is just the result of fair y. The management does not have the right to intervene in the matter. ] This is a fair y no matter where you look at it! The worst drawback of a game run by wless artificial intelligence. It is that she is too principled and too fair. This artificial intelligence, which acknowledges everything as long as the process is justified, even if it is a user whomits bad manners,pletely disrupts the bnce of the game, and literally burns the game. The fact that the huge narrative that hundreds of employees have been working on all night has turned into nothing in a single moment. And the fact that the culprit was none other than a mysterious user from Korea made him go crazy and jump. And at that moment, thest advice of the managing director passed by Kazuki''s ears. [The narrative created by the user has no choice but to be solved by the user. You will realize just how feeble and powerless our management is in this game. I wish you luck.] A word he left in a phone call with Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. Now, while wrestling with Alice, Governor Kazuki finally realized. The scene of chaos and destruction that the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. has stepped on is happening right in front of them in real time. Is it something like this... Governor Kazuki, who had a big realization. He kept his mouth shut and pondered over something before asking Ellis with a worried face. Make your request a little different. [What kind of request are you talking about?] Can we adjust thepensation for the main scenario that started this time? Very passive main scenario user participation. As a result, the ck Pirates were happily destroying the coastal cities of the Shouen Empire without any disturbance, so Kazuki thought that what was needed right now was the active participation of users. And the idea hit. [Kazuki, the branch manager of Arcadia Japan. Administrative authority level 2. Adjustments to main scenario rewards.] Alice was silent for a moment, as if analyzing the avability of the request. She immediately gave the answer. [This issue can be adjusted.] Thats right! Kazuki, who likes to hit his knees saying that he now knows how to solve it. Alice asked him. [What item would you like to adjust the reward for the victory condition?] And a list of numerous rewards that appeared in front of Kazuki. After looking at them for a long time, Kazuki chose one. Do it with this. Can you disclose the relevant information to users? [Normally, it is not disclosed, but it is possible if requested.] Then, please disclose it. It is to increase the participation rate of users, so apply it as soon as possible. [All right. Adjust the reward for the victory condition of the main scenario.] Because of Governor Kazuki''s strong request, one phrase was added to the main scenario. One sentence in question that will add to all this confusion. < The user with the highest contribution will receive the legendary item Yarden''s Greatsword. > * * * After Ellis'' additional update. As the contents of this main scenario were revealed to some extent, Japanese users aroused great interest. -Those who say that this is a pirate group or something... They say they are from the Korean continent? - Chick Show. How dare Josenjing attack us? - Somehow, I thought it was a scenario that was made so out of the blue. There was such an inside story. -But isn''t it okay to just stop and feed? -Why are you having fun? Defend your country from invaders from Korea. Big..... cool? - Honto. It''s time to show the spirit of bushido. Legendary items are mine. The first legendary item to appear. In addition, the narrative of a quest that stimtes the sensibility of a samurai with the feeling of protecting the mothend from foreign invasion. Lastly, the fact that the opponents were guys from Korea made the hearts of Japanese users burn. Let''s defend our country! Japanese users! Lets show Josenjing a hot taste! Wow! Tenno Heika Banzai! With the spirit of Samuria, we win! Arge-scale user association created in this way. From strong people called rankers to novice users who have just started ying the game. Everyone, regardless of job or level, men and women, all gathered together with one idea: to protect the Japanese continent. Here is the chief. Sasaki of the Japan branch watched their movements in real time through arge monitor. He sneakily asked Chief Akita next to him. What was the average level of our users? Level 69. Sasaki was nk for a moment at those words. He frowned and tilted his head, as if he didn''t understand. That... what was the average level of the ck Pirates? ..... Manager Akita was silent for a long time. He looked at me with a stinging gaze as if asking why I was asking such a thing, and then said with a poop-chewed face. 180. A level difference of almost three times. They were powerful enemies that yers could never match, even with their stats and skill proficiency, so from Sasaki''s point of view, the current situation was nothing more than ramming users into a roaring me. No, then sending the users over there in the current situation is just like telling them to die... Hey Sasaki. Yes, chief. Chief Akita cuts off his words and calls him in a cold tone. Seeing him like that, Sasaki, stinging at the fact that he had offended his boss, immediately lowered his head. If instructionse down from above, dont think about anything else and follow them. Do you think the superiors judged it without knowing it? ....no. sorry. This is an order from the head of the branch. No matter how low the level of the users is, if everyone joins forces like this, it bes a great power. Just as it is difficult to break even small twigs gathered together, even a weak force bes the strength to lead this main scenario to victory. Do you still not understand that? My thoughts were brief. I apologize for being hasty in thinking about it. Looking at the subordinate who apologized for making a mistake, Manager Akita tried to give advice on how to live a social life in a soft tone as if he was a little rxed. But he couldn''t help butugh as he watched the tragedy on that monitor. [Kuaaaaaaa! Chick show!] [What is this! What the hell are you talking about-!] [Tsunami daaaaa! Tsunami-!] [You damn gamepany! A quest made to clear this now! Seeing the yers screaming in the waves of the great ocean that seemed to swallow them all, and the proud fortress Poseia of the Shen Empire, which copsed in an instant as everything was shattered horribly, Sasaki involuntarily let out his thoughts. . Does it sound right to go to die? Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Cataclysm (2) Arfandia, a globalmunity that the whole world uses together. In this wild, fierce battle for survival of the fittest for views and subscribers, there was one channel that was firmly at the top and never gave up. Destroyer''s routine. A monster-like channel that doesn''t have many videos, but each one boasts a tremendous ripple effect. It boasted a huge number of views and subscribers because it was watching the game with unique content that almost had nopetitors. -Deckmen! -It''s ck again today, Dex hyung. - Dex Jjaung! If you told me the color, can''t you tell me the brand too? -Ah, these perverts are crossing the line..... Really, do some work. Of course, the pervert (?) group who came to lie down every day also yed a part, but the firepower of the Japanese who suddenly came in was greater than that. - Is it because of this bastard? - Is this goddamn Josenjing touching our Japan? Do you think you''ll be okay? -Chick Show..... Why did youe over to our continent? Dex directly proved that the idea of going beyond the existing continent to another continent is possible. In addition, users from all over the world flocked to the fact that it was the starting point that made it public that Arcadia, which provides services for each country, is actually operated as a single server, only separated into several continents. -Holy Shit! How is that even possible? -Would you like to have a good time? -A donde va el continente europeo? - էާѧ ۧէ ާ! Comments in all kinds ofnguages. The content was different, but everyone''s evaluation of this situation was simr as if it were one person. What kind of game is that bastard ying, is he already ying that?'' Arcadia has now been revealed to the world for a little over a year. In less than a year since theunch of the service in Korea, so many things are still hidden in the veil and in this huge virtual reality full of unknowns, I am astonished at this situation where I can not understand how they are doing things that shake the world like this. admired again. Of course, it was full of Japanese people who gnashed their teeth and ran wild and made all sorts of badments. -Kiya..... Housekeeper! Close the shutters today! I''m not going home today! -This is... Korean. -lol. No, I''m crazy lol. - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! - It''s ck! be forever! ck Pirates! ck panties! Long live the deck fan sword! -It''s funny that Japanese guys are shaking. For Japanese users, it is a vicious user dex that is innocent even if it is beaten to death. However, this situation was truly a fun rice cake that could not stand popcorn at all for Korean users, who were on the other side of the river. And they released a lot of grumpiness they had saved so far and started to tease Japanese users excitedly. -Have you heard of Joseon''s Counterattack? -Korean Revenge. You should also be invaded once. - Hahahaha Is it a retaliation battle for the Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592? -But... looking at the quests that have been handed down in Japan... If that quest fails, the territory might be lost. -??? what else do you mean? -Go to the Japanese kidsmunity. There is data posted there. The whole story of this situation that started to spread on the Inte like that. Korean users who confirmed it soon tilted their heads with a strange sense of deja vu, as if they had seen it somewhere. And it wasn''t long before they realized the cause of their deja vu. -Wait a minute I think I''ve seen a lot of this shit somewhere? -Slime! It''s simr to the slime incident that destroyed the beginner vige. - That''s right. It really failed with a strangely ominous phrase stuck to the veryst line, so the whole vige waspletely gutted, and these bastards still can''t fix their habit. The slime incident that has brought great anger to most Korean users. Since the aftermath of that time was a huge event that still remains, they were able to empirically predict how huge the aftermath would be from the meaningful phrase at the end of Japan''s first main scenario. And the users who realized that shouted with sweat on their hands. - It''s Dex! please win...! - Fighting the ck Pirates!! Please bring destruction and chaos to the Japanese continent. - Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Japan is really X. The sound of it wille out of your mouth. The Shoen Empire is located on the Japanese continent. Watching the ck Pirates roaming around the coastal area there and ying games. And in the meantime, towards Dex, who is working hard in secret. They prayed sincerely. They hoped that Japanese users would suffer more than what they suffered. However, even such Koreans went on an expedition to the streaming broadcast of Japanese users in real time and watched the situation there, and were at a loss for words. [Chick show!] [Defense magic circle! It''s so stupidly broken! Nonsense!] A defensive magic circle designed by a 7th-circle wizard himself. A huge tsunami that destroyed it so easily that it was futile. And in the scene of destruction, like a natural disaster that ravenously devours and sweeps away everything, they said, feeling true love for humanity. -Ah, this is kind of..... -???????? -What the hell is this situation? - Someone please exin. After I went to the bathroom, where did I go these days? -Magic? Is there any magic like this? The fierce battle to break through Poseia''s defenses, the confrontation between Carlos and the strong, who ran amok and overpowered the enemies there, and Dex''s ingenious idea and divine physicality were not there. There are only traces of the empire''s brilliant fortress that disappeared without any pitiful resistance due to the huge and overwhelming force that no one dared to deal with. And I don''t know who they are, but they clearly saw it in thest scene of the Japanese user who was sending this video. The appearance of Dex, who spreads this huge disaster by floating in the center of a whirlwind of magical power that swirls in the sky where the ck Pirates'' fleet is advancing far away. Korean users who watched all of this, not even users around the world, shouted without realizing it. Is this a fucking scam? * * * 8 circle magic tidal wave. When itpletely wiped out all of Poseia and all of the Shoen Empire''s maritime power stationed within it, Ellis had no choice but to bring down the oue of this main scenario. [The maritime power of the Shen Empire is annihted.] [The naval fortress Poseia ispletely destroyed.] [27 viges destroyed by the ck Pirates.] [The ck Pirates'' power loss rate... 17%.] [The ck Pirates are overwhelmingly victorious.] Even if they tried to generously give the decision in favor of Japan, the overwhelming gap was impossible. In the first ce, there was no biased evaluation on one side, but Alice eventually dered the end of the main scenario with a result that no one could deny. [Main Scenario Act. The invasion of the 1st continent has ended.] [The quest has failed.] [The territory of the northern coastal area of the Shoen Empire is transferred to the ck Pirates.] [A peace treaty between the Shoen Empire and the ck Pirates is signed for 5 years.] [ The territory of the Caribbean is expanding.] [Sea routes necessary for intercontinental movement have been established.] [Regr continental migration ships begin operation.] Thousands... among tens of thousands of scenarios derived from the synthesis of numerous variables. Having decided on the optimal result that inevitably had to be achieved, she applied everything in the game in real time without anyone''s instructions or intervention. [Optimum Scenario No. 18232.] [Code-002. Start emergency patch.] [Code-283. Apply the changes.] After Alice''s final update was applied. Officially, the city of ouws and criminals that existed on the second continent of Arcadia, the Caribbean, came to be called apletely different nickname. A city of navigators who do not fear death. The bridgehead of the new continent. A ce for criminals and lowly people. A product of splendid freedom and equality. to the Caribbean. * * * Hey, get some more lumber! What are you guys doing? You said you ran away from the lord? Thene and help me with this. Among the guys under me, if there is someone who ignores or looks down on them because they are from another continent, know that I will beat them to death first. Got it? Poseia, which has beenpletely ruined. When all the ck Pirates who have nested there are working hard on restoration work. Carlos came next to Jaeyoung and quietly muttered to himself. We have agreed with the Shoen Empire not to engage in armed conflict with each other for the next five years. On the condition that we recognize the ces we have upied so far and even the waters nearby. ..... Jaeyoung doesnt say anything while listening to that. To him like that, Carlos continued as if he remembered now. Oh, and at that show, I got one more thing from the negotiators of the Empire. No matter what heinous crimes hemitted, no matter how much debt he owed, ves, serfs, or anyone else, from the moment they knocked on the door here in the Caribbean, we would be held ountable. Although the continent is different, Carlos tries to ept those who are lowly and suffering at the bottom as the inhabitants of the Caribbean. Maybe when his belief spread, the number of unknown NPCs running away to be a member of the Caribbean was gradually increasing. Thank you. A word from Carlos with sincerity. Hearing this, Jaeyoung turned his head to look at him without saying anything. From the moment I first met you, you seemed like someone who knew your identity but didn''t know it, but thanks to you, I found freedom and went beyond bing the ruler of the Caribbean again.... Now I can clearly understand the direction I need to go in the future. Carlos, a rare criminal whose hands are covered with indelible blood. However, for those suffering and groaning at the bottom, he was grateful for being thest hope and amplight. To the being who rekindled his cooled passion and created this ridiculous miracle to realize his ambition. ...with your bare mouth? Jae-young asks if he is bare-mouthed for his gratitude. At his question, Carlos put on a dumbfounded expression for a moment, then burst intoughter. Cheuk.... hahahaha. After all, you are the same until the end. Carlosughed alone for a while. Then he smiled and asked smirkingly. Yeah.... He did such a great job, but he couldnt be bare-mouthed. do you want something If you need my soul, I''ll dly give it to you. oh? so easy? hey master! Call that! call! Total call! Hearing that, Tan opened his eyes wide and pulled Jaeyoung by the cor, begging him to bring her soul quickly. Jaeyoung nced at the bullet with pitiful eyes and then said to Carlos. Haa... didn''t you say you didn''t need that? Carlos touched the switch in Tan''s heart by bringing up the story of the soul. Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh as he watched as Tan, who went mad, was suppressed by L, saying that he would take the soul if he didn''t get it. Hehehe... you''re not a devil after all. Carlos nodded and smiled as if he were convinced of his words. Looking at him as if he was absurd, Jaeyoung trudged away. First of all... I think I''ve received all the rewards I deserve, and if I ever need helpter, it''s time to ask for help, so lend me a hand then. You said you werepensated...? what? Jae-young said that he did nothing but received a reward. When Carlos was puzzled by his iprehensible words, Jaeyoung smiled proudly at the settlement money he had received. [Acquired probability 953212.] Chapter 153 Chapter 153 Past Glory (1) Numerous Continents. one world. The first virtual reality game that everyone in the world can enjoy simultaneously, transcending time and space. Arcadia. The whole world was shaken when a user who moved from the Korean continent to the Japanese continent appeared and the secret of Arcadia, which had not been known until now, became known. and was enthusiastic Arcadia''s phenomenal science and technology. The story of a user who creates a huge story on his own in the game. - Ha ha ha ha ha cider ising. upation of the Japanese continent is kkkkkkkkkkkk -Kiya ! He was also a Dex Patriot! drunk on soup -This is the spicy taste of Korean. A situation in which a part of the continent that was peacefully enjoying the game was forcibly invaded by a user''s trick. Japanese users, who were the victims of such facts, were stunned and swelled with anger, but did not make any special protests. Because there was a historical mistake theymitted in the past. And they kept their mouths shut because they knew very well that if they cursed at their situation now, it would be no different than spitting in their faces. -It''s the first time I''ve ever seen someone pay for such a historical disgrace. -agreed. Long live the Caribbean. I''ll have to go y sometime. -Where is the area located? I didn''t have much information. -It''s because it was originally known as Geumyeok. It was a ce you shouldn''t go to. Just a situation where Korean users who are excited about the fact that Japan fucked properly are singing and humming. And although they did not participate, they regretted the third main scenario that had already passed and followed Dex''s footsteps evente. uh? This is the Caribbean...? It''s strange... Was it like this originally? Originally, it was a dreary and dirty city with the smell of gutter stinging your nose and full of filth here and there. The Caribbean was a ce where almost all of the facilities were not functioning properly, and there were only dangerous ouws who had to worry about being stabbed in the back, full of refugees and homeless people with eyes dying of hopelessness. But now, the sight that yers set foot on was a huge port city full of vitality and vitality that was so peaceful. Is this your first timeing here? A little boy who came up to me with curious eyes and started talking to me. At the question of the child who seemed to be an NPC, the users nodded involuntarily. Its true that you came here for the first time... but why did you ask that? Its obvious when you look around with those stupid eyes. A boy who answers with a smirk with a yful face. He shouted with an excited face as if he wanted to brag. Now this Caribbean is not what it used to be. Under the protection of the ck Pirates and pirate king Carlos, everyone is guaranteed freedom and safety, and no one can live with equal respect without prejudice or discrimination. In addition... I didnt even ask, but he kept talking about how much the Caribbean has changed. They exchanged puzzled nces at the tremendous momentum, as if they would not stop their mouths for the rest of the day unless they were stopped. Yes, kid, I know very well that the Caribbean has changed. But we''re a bit busy... Those who thought this kid was an NPC who acted as a guide to guide them when they first entered the vige. However, he was also a high-level user who didn''t need such a tutorial, and this kid was talking about a vast story at the level of TMI, so his chatter was at a level that anyone would be afraid to run away from. Those who leave as if they are running away in such a hurry. Looking at them, the child muttered in pity. Sheesh... its not worth it. I still have so many things to say... Stories that I never get tired of talking about and never get tired of talking about. The child wanted to tell as many people as possible about the vivid changes in the Caribbean that he had seen and heard in person. How could the Caribbean, which was like a gutter, change so quickly? While he was smacking his lips, a stern-looking man shouted from far away. hey! Hans! Do you want to keep smoking nonsense again? Im not kidding! Theyve been selling tickets for a while now! How much did you sell? I havent sold any yet. ...Where did that work? Hans puffed out his cheeks and protested at the man''s words, looking at him as if he was embarrassed. How can you sell that ticket to anyone! I will only sell this miracle created by Carlos and Dex, who know what this Caribbean is like, and to adventurers who understand their great will! Carlos, the hero of the Caribbean and faith itself. And adventurer Dex. No one could stop Hans''s firm conviction, which had more intense respect and affection for these two than anyone else. Huh... such a troublemaker... I don''t know why he entrusted you with the heavy responsibility of selling tickets for the New Continental sailing ship. It must have been because I thought I could do well. If you''re not satisfied, ask Dex-sama. ...how do you ask someone on another continent far away? Don''t say anything strange, but sell all 3,000 within a month! If I can''t sell all of them, I''ll report it to Carlos-sama and hand over the ticket sales rights to someone else! Okay, so stop nagging me. Hans, a new member of the ck Pirates. However, Hans, a senior member, did not like the heavy responsibility given to a child of his age, and Hans, who did not sell tickets and repeated the same story to people with oundish ideas and strange and esoteric standards, but he liked it because it was an order from the highest level. I only sent a nce saying I didn''t want to, but I couldn''t restrain myself. Ugh! That''s the guy I was told to be the youngest... Ugh! It''s my seller! A senior pirate who grumbles and goes somewhere. Looking at his back, Hans smiled broadly and said, looking at the unfamiliar adventurers looking around here and there with strange eyes again. hey! uncles! Is this your first time here? That''s how the name Hans began to grow in notoriety among adventurers. As a kid who has been talking about the Caribbean for hours on end, and as the only, extremely biased NPC who sells tickets to the unknown new world of the New World only to people he likes. * * * When something that happened in the game is making noise all over the world. The main character, Jaeyoung, was listening to people talk at school as if watching other people. Did you guys see that video? Arcadia Japan branch announced that it was the 8th circle magic that destroyed that fortress! Circle 8...? no, does that make sense? What level are you on? That too, but where the hell did you get it from? Let alone the 8th circle, nothing has been revealed about the acquisition path for the 6th circle magic! okay....? I know that because I am a wizard! Right now, the number 1 wizard in the rankings just recently got a 5th circle magic book! As a reward for catching a level 180 boss! Eh...? It''s level 180, so it''s a 5th circle magic? Originally yes. From Circle 1 to Circle 2... At least, up to Circle 3, it is easy to learn within 100 levels, but from Circle 4, the difficulty of obtaining it increases tremendously. You really can''t get it even with money? It is not a purchase with money, but a secret quest or a magic book that can only be obtained through a route such as raising a certain NPC''s favor, or exploring hidden magic ruins or raiding. Therefore, an abnormal structure was inevitable, in which demand overflowedpared to the amount of magic that was always released. And because of that, it was always the wizards who had no choice but to live in poverty and struggle, but Dex''s video became a ray of hope for these people. Even if I''m not in the 8th circleter... If I just learn the magic in the 6th or 7th circles, I''ll really go around all kinds of hunting grounds, right? ...Can you really survive as a wizard until then? Even now, you dont have enough money to buy mana potions, so youre always struggling? Ah! It turns into a happy circuit, but dont talk about reality. The motives of talking about what happened this time over and over again. While overhearing their story, Jaekyun continued to look at Jaeyoung with a very burdensome look. Hey... Jaeyoung? ...dont ask. Just looking at it, Jae-gyun seems to have a mountain of things he wants to ask about this incident. However, because Jaeyoung gave off an atmosphere that he did not want to continue talking, he continued to look at Jaeyoung, wondering if he would dare to ask. No, not talking about games! I meant to ask you something else. Arent you talking about games? Jae-gyun hurriedly protests as if not to misunderstand. At his words, Jaeyoung finally turned his head with a curious look and asked. What? That''s... Arcadia Co., Ltd. has made an official proposal to me this time. A formal offer? Virtual reality integrated production systemmonly known as Lucid Dream. An innovative device that is sure to dominate all industries in the global media & entertainment sector in the future. Perhaps it was because he showed an astounding level of skill in using the device, and soon after, a manager-level person from Arcadia Co., Ltd. came to the school and begged Jae-kyun for his unconventional move. What job are you talking about? If that was the case, then it was already decided because you were selected as a special schrship student. No, not that. I''m trying to promote a project this time, but I asked if it would be possible to participate together. what....? Arcadia Co., Ltd., a global conglomerate recognized by the whole world, not anywhere else, is a ce where employees who are full of talented people from all over the world are filled with talented people who paid a lot of money to recruit a college student to promote a project. Jaeyoung opened his mouth with a face of absurdity at the fact that he needed it. No, what the heck is the project that I need you for? That''s... they say it''s because of the speed. I think it would be possible with the amount of work I can handle, but it seems like it would be too difficult for them to meet the schedule by themselves. okay....? Even though he has a low synchro rate, Jae-kyun possesses an enormous imagination that transcends it. I don''t know anything else, but the amount of work that can implement a huge amount of imagination into data in a short time is Jae-gyun''s natural talent and ability that can''t be found even in Arcadia, so it''s understandable why they helped. I understand that, but... so why are you suddenly telling me that? Uh... if it''s okay, I thought it would be good for you to participate as well..... You were coborating with them anyway. Although it is for a different reason, Jaeyoung is cooperating with Arcadia Co., Ltd. However, at Jaekyun''s suggestion, Jaeyoung shook his head with a sullen face, as if he wasn''t attracted to him. no. ah! why! I dont fit in with lucid dreaming. I dont have much imagination and if I use that, it just hurts my head. Unlike Jae-gyun, Jae-young''s side effects are strongly pushed. That''s why, to be honest, I wasn''t interested in projects that use lucid dreams. However, Jaekyun shook his hand urgently and said to him. no! You can''t make them! Just review what I and the team have been working on. Inspection....? What qualifications do I have for inspection? I don''t know anything about it. However, Jae-gyun smiled at Jae-young''s words and said confidently. No, you are the most suitable person in this world. ...? Jaeyoung tilts his head with an expression of iprehension. To him, Jaekyun looked around and carefully showed him something on his smartphone. And Jaeyoung''s eyes, seeing it, were shining brightly for the first time. Wow... is this a true story? The name of the project written on Jaekyun''s smartphone. It was none other than the product of an old memory full of his memories. [PC Game Virtualization Project# Glory of the Past.] [Production Target Game: League of Legends.] Chapter 154 Chapter 154 Past Glory (2) Arcadia Co., Ltd., a virtual reality servicepany. Of course, almost all of the work in thepany was done for the smooth service and operation of the game Arcadia, but other than that, various projects were being carried out here and there in the department. How is the progress of the welfare project for the disabled using virtual reality? First of all, we have seeded in making it possible to feel the state in which all senses and motor functions have been restored in virtual reality, even if there is a sensory or neurological disorder such as visual, auditory, or physical defect. Virtual reality helps people who are visually impaired or hearing impaired... even those with severe disabilities such as general paralysis to move freely, see, hear, feel, regain all senses and motor abilities, and enjoy normal daily life with others even in virtual reality. there was. The satisfaction of those who tried it was very high and there were no physical side effects. In particr, in the case of a patient who became paralyzed due to an ident, I was greatlyforted by the fact that not only the person concerned but also their family members could freely talk and be together for a while. Maybe every day they live is a time of hellish pain. However, the possibility that there might be a way for them to live a normal life freely again excited all of them. However, in the case of these disabled people, they showed an excessive obsession with virtual reality rather than reality. It''s not that I don''t understand it, but it seems like a little more discussion is needed because it can be raised as a social issue. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was quietly listening to the work report. At that, she nodded her head as if she understood. is it so. Since we have confirmed that there are no major problems in the technical aspect, let''s temporarily suspend the project at this point. Anyway, the current situation is not like the government is going to cooperate with ourpany. Korea''s virtual reality industry has no legal basis at all. Therefore, even if they tried to do something, they were caught up in all sorts of legal disputes and were full of exhausting arguments, so many innovative possibilities sprouted here and there in virtual reality technology, but they were not growing properly. Um... boss, how about handing over the project to Japan? Is it Japan? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon cautiously lets go of his rhymes when he is told to suspend the project. In response to his question, President Lee Mi-yeon blinked and asked. yes. Isn''t the Japanese government very active and favorable to fostering the virtual reality industry? In particr, I know that the Japanese branch is pursuing a simr project. Um... Im sure it is. Unlike the lukewarm and passive Korean government, the Japanese government is almost desperate to spread virtual reality technology throughout Japanese society as quickly as possible and take the lead in rted industries. Therefore, various projects of Arcadia Co., Ltd. in Japan were being promoted rapidly. Anyway, in the case of a project with a strong public interest purpose, if a positive case emerges in another country, the government will give permission for the rted project sooner orter. This is because many people with disabilities are suffering in our country as well. President Lee Mi-yeon looks like she is contemting something at the reasonable persuasion of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. She rolled the dice in her head for a while, then nodded her head as if she had made up her mind. Then do it. You don''t have to stick to the same project as other branches. Communicate the relevant matters and make sure to hand them over as soon as possible. All right. Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon passed on one of the tasks to the Japanese branch. A small smile was drawn on his face that no one would notice, and then it disappeared. Oh, and this time, I posted a proposal to promote another project.... The name of the project... is a past glory? President Lee Mi-yeon picks up one of the many file folders on the desk and reads it around, asking questions. In response to her question, the head of the design and development team, who was sitting on one side, opened his mouth nervously. yes! That''s right. The name is unusual... What project is this exactly? Could you please borate a bit? CEO Lee Mi-yeon shows a favorable response as if she is interested in something. In response to her attitude, the manager who nned the project talked enthusiastically with his face flushed. Um... So, to sum it up, lets recreate popr PC games that went downhill with the advent of virtual reality as virtual reality games? That''s right! Currently, there is only one virtual reality game, Arcadia, in a genre called MMORPG. Of course, it is supported by many users because of its infinite expandability, but I think it is necessary to develop games of various genres bybining them with virtual reality technology. A monstrouspany with hundreds of billions of dors in monthly gaming fees and capsule sales alone. However, the deformed structure in which almost all of thepany''s profits are generated only from one game called Arcadia was undoubtedly an issue that needed to be improved. What do you think, Managing Director? CEO Lee Mi-yeon asks what executive director Myeong-han Kwon thinks. In response to her question, Kwon Myung-han nodded without thinking. I don''t think that''s a bad idea, sir. The game that has been negotiated is also the most popr League of Legends''. Perhaps when this is released in virtual reality, it will also attract a lot of attention among gamers around the world. A project aimed at diversifying the business. Of course, even if it is not, he thought that it would be a good opportunity to create poprity among users who feel nostalgia for PC games in this way and to attract users who still stay in PC games to virtual reality. Um... everything is good. If you look at the n here... It says that the goal is to showcase the work at the Game Festa held at the end of this year, but would it be possible to make it in that short time? The world''s most grandiose festival for gamers. Game Festa. This ambitious n to release the first virtual reality PC game there seemed absurd to President Lee Mi-yeon. Even if the basic bnce or nning is already released, it can be ported as it is.... From the design side, it seems that everything has to be implemented from the ground up. Are you sure you can? Arcadia, where numerous narratives, stories, and characters are borately intertwined. However, unlike that, this project did not seem to have a lot of work from other departments because the existing data could be ported as it is. However, in the case of the design team without any basic base, the story was different. There are at least 100 characters that need to be implemented. In addition, trying to realistically implement all the battlegrounds and skills that each character has, while working together with Arcadia development seems impossible when I thought. The near-infinite power of implementation that can be realized through lucid dreaming. However, President Lee Mi-yeon was skeptical because the human energy to draw out the imagination was limited. However, the head of the design team hurriedly spoke to her concerns. Ah, I dont think you need to worry about that part! So, we are trying to recruit one person in particr. Are you talented? CEO Lee Mi-yeon tilted her head at those words. He spoke to her in a confident tone. yes! There is one monster that is more capable than all of our design teams put together. * * * After the meeting ended like that. The head of the design & development team sighed deeply, wiping sweat from his forehead. Haa..... The result was a sess. More than I thought, President Lee Mi-yeon liked his n. Hmm... this is fine. Where did this talente from? ording to the report written here, the ability to use real lucid dreams is ridiculous, right? That.... as a student I discovered in the exchange and cooperation promoted by Seomin University... Oh, you were a college student? A student who hasn''t even graduated from school yet is like this? President Lee Mi-yeon showed interest in Jae-kyun much more than he thought. She inquired about him for a long time, but soon smiled with satisfaction and officially approved the project being pushed by the design team. great. Make the best use of that student named Jae-Gyun to produce results. Lets see that and then judge. result. and judgment. Arcadia Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of super-giants that no country can touch, and is growing into a global giant. Since it was a newly establishedpany and all the employees were talented people who were popr in various industries, the personnel evaluation and promotion system itself was radical enough to be different from those of existingpanies. Please bring only reasonable results. If I had the skills, I could put even one employee in the vice president the very next day. A corporate culture in which two or three levels of promotion can be achieved within a day as long as performance is shown. That''s why all executives and employees dipping their feet in Arcadia Co., Ltd. werepeting with each other to the point of tears. In order not to lose hair and to be a high-ranking executive who receives an annual sry that is different from the amount recorded in the bank ount. If only this project is done properly... It was a great opportunity to change the status of the design & development team, which had only been flying flies with mediocre performance until now. Of course, in order to do so, meeting the development date that President Lee Mi-yeon boasted was the most urgent problem. Boss! How did it go? The design team and development team gathered together with nervous faces as if they had been waiting for the meeting to end. Looking at them, their subordinates, he eximed with a proud face. it''s okay! Project passed! and! Really? Oh yea! The staff cheered and were excited by the words. The manager looked at the employees like a father and smiled, but soon said with a serious face. Now, dont like them that much already. Its just the beginning, and if the project isnt done well, you wont even be able to make ends meet and your image may deteriorate. Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy but since you recruited that monster, I dont think itll be a big problem to meet the deadline? ah. That friendspany has arrived, manager. uh? okay? Where are you? Im drinking tea with the chief designer in the meeting room right now. Oh, by the way, did you bring a friend with you? what....? The general manager put on a puzzled expression when he said that he was apanied by someone else. He entered the meeting room with a suspicious look on his face. Inside, a child of the same age as Jae-kyun is drinking tea while talking to the chief designer. When the manager saw the two, he held out his hand and greeted them as if he was happy. ha ha ha. I''m sorry about this. I had a meeting, so I couldn''t greet you. are you jaehyun? I wish you well in the future. I''ve told your school too, so don''t worry about attendance. You can go to work here in the future. yes. I will try hard. Jae-gyun, with a slightly flushed face at those words, strengthens his will. The manager, who nodded at him, looked at the child sitting quietly next to him and asked. By the way, who is this friend...? At those words, Jaekyun looked at Jaeyoung, who had a sad face next to him, and said. Oh Jaeyoung? Hes a ssmate from the same school as me, and I asked him to bring him. ask....? At that, Jaekyun said with an innocent face. yes. Jaeyoung of the League of Legends, which we created, will inspect everything. what....? At those words, the manager''s face turned to bewilderment for the first time. Arge-scale project that received official approval from President Lee Mi-yeon after a long period of preparation. He pondered for a long time what to say in this situation when a key manpower necessary to promote such a project arbitrarily invites a friend to participate in the project. Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Past Glory (3) Following Jae-gyun, Jae-young visits Arcadia headquarters. I had already visited the ce several times for research rted to synchro rate, but I had never looked around except for the floor where the research room was located, so I looked around the office with apletely different atmosphere with curious eyes. Hmm... Its better than I thought. Jaeyoung imagined a typical corporate office filled with partitions. However, perhaps because of the atmosphere of the department that values creativity and imagination, there were freely decorated offices and various entertainment and convenience facilities in a spacious open space. And looking at the employees who freely use it inside, he muttered with a face that he liked quite a bit. The League of Legends made in virtual reality... Now its neatly folded, but its the most decisive game that made Dex the way it is today, and the League of Legends, the best game in name and reality that he spent three years in high school with. After the virtual reality game Arcadia appeared, it showed a decline, butpared to other games that almost copsed, it was quite good. It''s about making the most of the game''s many strengths and weaknesses. First of all, in my personal opinion, I think I chose the game well. The story of the world and characters in the game is detailed, so many gamers have a lot of affection for these parts. Also, since it is an AOS genre that can be enjoyed lightly and several people join forces topete against the opposing team, it can be enjoyed with friends. Unlike the MMORPG genre like Arcadia, it''s a lot lighter. Jae-young talks about his impressions of this project while recalling various requirements for box office sess. At his words, the staff of the design & development team looked at each other with interest and whispered to each other in quiet voices. What do you understand better than I thought? I heard you brought me here because you were a kid who liked the League of Legends. I know because I have done it myself. So what are we really getting checked by that friend? I dont know. The manager said he would talk about it separately. While the employees were holding onto Jaeyoung and talking about various things to pass the time, Manager Yang Min-hyeok of the Design & Development Team was quietly talking with Jae-gyun in the hallway with a slightly perplexed look on his face. Keuhmmmm..... That Jaegyun student. It may be with good intentions, but it is very dangerous to inform others about thepany''s confidential project in this way. If it leaks out, serious controversy or legal problems may arise, and many people may suffer great damage. Considering the seriousness of the matter, it would not be strange to file aint. So, he first warned Jaekyun about this action with a serious face. Then Jaekyun lowered his head with a sullen face and murmured. Yeah... Im sorry about that part. I''ll be careful next time. Jae-kyun, who admits his mistakes and apologizes more obediently than he thought. Manager Yang Min-hyeok cleared his throat and spoke in a calm tone, as if he was relieved a little by his appearance. okay. I''m not going to report this to the higher up or anything like that. But... to be honest, it would be a bit difficult for that friend named Jaeyoung to participate in this project. yes....? why? Jae-gyun, surprised by his words, asked back, as if he wanted to involve his friend in the project. Manager Yang Min-hyeok calmly exined the reason to Jae-gyun. First of all, the gamepany that currently operates the League of Legends has agreed to provide all detailed data about the game in consultation with ourpany. We are going to apply the actual bnce and system based on the data, so there is nothing to review. As for the final inspection, the developer team that created the League of Legends came out to do the inspection, and the story was over. A situation where the developer who directly creates and operates the game decides to take over the inspection. In such a situation, there was no need to ask a college student who enjoys games, so Manager Yang Min-hyeok had no intention of letting Jae-gyun''s uninvited guest participate in the project. And... Jaekyun will be a member of our family after graduation, but isn''t it like that friend? To be honest, it is too risky to recklessly let an outsider who has nothing to do with Arcadia participate in a closed project... Yang Min-hyeok, manager, is working hard to persuade Jae-gyun. However, Jaekyun, who had been listening to him silently, suddenly made a puzzled expression and tilted his head. Wait a minute, boss. You have nothing to do with thispany? hmm? No, Jaeyoung. You said that it would be difficult for you to participate in the project carelessly because you have nothing to do with thispany. is not it? ....yes? Manager Yang Min-hyeok felt strange at Jae-gyun''s attitude of asking the same question over and over again. Jaekyun smiled broadly at his answer. Ah... you dont know... What do I not know? Jae-kyun mumbles something unknown. Manager Yang Min-hyeok made an iprehensible expression at his words, but he couldn''t shut his mouth at Jae-gyun''s story that followed. Jaeyoung had been working with thispany long before me. what....? Who did he say at that time..... Head of Research, Moonsik Kim...? Anyway, Jaeyoung has been working with the R&D team at thispany for quite some time. W R&D team? At those words, Manager Yang Min-hyeok was taken aback. Arcadia''s research and development team. A high-level department with virtually unlimited funding and an influence that cannot be ignored even within apany with multiplerge-scale projects. Rumors about college students coborating there were famous even within thepany, so he was able to realize Jae-young''s identity just by Jae-gyun''s words. Wait a minute! In other words, that friend is... Manager Yang Min-hyeok stammered and made a fuss as he was so surprised. Seeing him like that, Jaekyun smiled and nodded as if he realized what he was trying to ask. that''s right. Jaeyoung is a genius college student with a synchro rate of 94%. ..... Only then did Manager Yang Min-hyeok recall the memories buried in the other side of his brain. A story about a student with an incredible synchro rate that an employee dispatched to Seomin University in the past talked about. * * * Manager Yang Min-hyeok returned to the office after talking with Jae-kyun. He looked at Jaejoong with slightly different eyes and said. ...From now on, these two friends have decided to join our project. If there is anything you don''t understand, let me know and everyone will cooperate as much as possible. yes? Really? Wow, that''s great..... The staff muttered with surprised eyes at thepletely unexpected results. Manager Yang Min-hyeok looked at Jae-young and asked, leaving them behind. Did you say you were a Jaeyoung student...? As a result of checking Jaeyoung''s data I received before, I know that his ability to implement lucid dreams is a bit poor... Is that right? that''s right. I''m aplete gem when ites to imagining things more than I thought. I''m not very good at handling the machine. Jae-young speaks inly without any special bragging, as if he knows his limits well. At his words, Manager Yang Min-hyeok asked with a slightly serious face. ...So how exactly do you n to get involved in this project? Are you referring to the level of y feedback as a general game user? Yang Min-hyeok, general manager, only recognizes Jae-young as a user who simply enjoyed the League of Legends. That''s why he was asking him directly, albeit a bit roundabout. Are you at the level of reviewing the game?'' .... I mean. However, Jaeyoung answered the question with a strange smile. About that part... Lets show it with our skills. what....? Manager Yang Min-hyeok put on a puzzled expression at those words. However, Jaeyoung did not respond to him, just looked at Jaekyun and said. Hey Jaekyung. Have you yed League of Legends? uh....? Of course I did. okay. Then you should know all the basics. Hey, is it possible to use this Lucid Dream together? huh? oh it''s possible It also includes the ability to create coboratively. Perfect. Then could you help me set it up so we can make it together? Jae-young tries to ess Lucid Dream so naturally as if he were an employee who worked here for a long time. At his request, the staff looked at Yang Min-hyeok''s notice and hesitated, but soon helped Jae-gyun and Jae-young ess Lucid Dream. System standby..... 5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1..... UP. With those words, the lights came on at the same time and the two Lucid Dreams started operating. After a few minutes of adjustment work, Jaeyoung, who entered the virtual reality production system, looked at Jaekyun, who was standing still with a slightly dazed face in the endless colorless space, and said, Hey Jaekyung. Do you remember what the final gorge looks like, a map you y roughly 5:5? huh....? I dont know perfectly, but roughly? Jae-Kyun, who has been ying the game for a long time, but does not remember every part of the vast map in detail. But unlike him, Jaeyoung remembered everything perfectly. Everything from the bushes nted all over the huge map to the exquisitely installed various terrain features and all the objects and monsters that appear there. That''s why Jaeyoung smiled and said, Don''t worry. Then, would you like to implement it as much as you can remember? huh? Its okay to think about the parts you dont remember. Just try to make it as much as possible with the idea of looking down the entire map in spectator mode. The entire map...? Jaeyoung''s request to create the entire huge map at once, rather than implementing each one in detail. Jaekyun asked back with a puzzled look on his face, but Jaeyoung answered without hesitation. huh. I will tell you about the details that arecking, so feel free to eat and try it with the idea that you only have a basic frame. Hearing that, Jaekyun seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but soon he nodded his head and closed his eyes with a face that felt even determined as if he was prepared for something. Okay... Ill try it. With those words, Jae-kyun takes a deep breath. After a short time passed, a huge vibration began to ur under Jaeyoung and Jaekyun''s feet. Woo woo woo woo. Infinite space where nothing exists. There, huge rocks rose from somewhere and soon began to create a huge boundary line. in the form of a perfectly symmetrical square. Kurrureung Kurrureung. Kwaaang kwaang. And huge structures bursting through the floor at both ends. Buildings with exactly the same appearance and elongated turrets that seemed to protect them began to take ce. Ugh... Jaekyun groaned with his eyes tightly closed, sweating profusely. But even so, his imagination did not stop. shoot it A huge waterfall created on either side. and swamp puddles. Fast-growing bushes here and there and obstacles of rocks and rock blocks blocking the map here and there. As the things that were created through Jaekyun''s imagination began to pile up one by one, Jaeyoung began to see the whole thing. An all-too-familiarndscape that I''ve been looking down on my monitor for a long time. Thousands... tens of thousands of battles, the Legendary League''s decisive battle gorge was showing off its beautiful appearance under his feet. Not on aputer monitor with crude graphics, but in a virtual reality system full of realism and life. Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Past Glory (4) Isn''t that what it is? The range here is different from the one on the other side. It has to be exactly symmetrical. Um... thats right. Shall we reduce the range of the upper bushes a bit? No, rather increase the range of the lower bushes. And in the case of the midne, I think the width is too narrow. The top and bottom are rtively wide. I think we should shorten the sides a bit and widen the middle. Wait... this much? okay. It''s much better. Jae-gyun opens his eyes clearly at Jae-young''s instructions and focuses on something. And every time his characteristic behavior came out, the world where these two were in continued to change rapidly. Kururureureung. As the space is distorted, the lines increase and decrease in thickness and adjust the width. And looking at it carefully, Jaeyoung frantically wandered around to find another mistake. Virtual reality integrated production device Lucid Dream. Jae-kyun is realizing something by using his imagination to the fullest within it. And Jae-young, who keeps nagging him next to him and skillfully controls his imagination. In the fantastic harmony of the two, the colorless and empty space was filled with all sorts of things before I knew it, and it began to take shape perfectly with meticulous adjustments. Huh... Jaeyoung, I think I should rest for a bit. why? it''s hard? Ugh... Im a bit tired, but I think the topography of the canyon in the final battle that I remember is too rugged... I think I should go outside and take a look at the entire map carefully. The gorge of the decisive battle in virtual reality that is being implemented by relying on Jaekyun''s imagination. Of course,pared to the crude graphics that existed in PC games, it was a realistic look that couldn''t be better, but it was very disappointing when put together with the wless Arcadia. But... Jaeyoung, thanks to you, I think the overall foundation has beenid. Jaekyun looked down at his work while floating in the air. He smiled contentedly and muttered with a proud face. What... All I did was tell you the lengths and arrangements, things that didnt fit, and things that needed to be adjusted, but what. Did you imagine everything? lol. That''s it again. Anyway... it seems like it''s been quite some time outside, so shall we finish working first and go outside? huh. At this point, it seems that the terrain has been roughly implemented, but lets finish it! Jae-Kyun and Jae-Young closed the connection and went outside. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall while stroking his throbbing hair, Jaeyoung frowned and murmured. What, has it already been four hours? It''s been a while longer than I thought. I was immersed in it without noticing the passage of time, probably because it was nothing else but the realization of the legendary league of games that I loved so much. ...why is everyone looking at me like that? After the headache, the aftereffect of lucid dreaming, subsided to some extent, I began to see the surroundings. Just like four hours ago, all the design and development team members huddled together were looking at Jaeyoung. And that, as if they had made a promise, all of them with their mouths wide open with bewildered faces. Ughhh! it''s hard! Just as Jae-young is about to say something to this astral and subtle atmosphere, Jae-gyun opens the capsule a littleter than Jae-young and jumps out. He shouted with a face full of tiredness, probably because he had drawn out too much imagination. what! Has it been 4 hours? no wonder! It was so dizzy! Are you okay other than being dizzy? Anything wrong? huh....? Um... are you hungry? ...that there is nothing in particr. Jae-gyun, who has been using his lucid dream to the limit for a long time, but says he is hungry and looks for something to eat. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung nodded with a face that was also Jaekyun and murmured. And the design & development team employees who were watching the two of them silently muttered with absurd faces. After using lucid dream for 4 hours...is it all about being hungry? Most of the features... implemented in only 4 hours...? And without any reference data? More than that... what is the uracy of adjusting features in centimeters? A human caliper? A design & development team made up of only the elite of elites who specialize in lucid dreaming. Everyone working in this department was recognized as possessing an above-average synchro rate and having a natural talent for art and creation, and they were creators who stood out in various fields. And that''s why they knew better than anyone else how absurd and absurd things were happening right in front of their eyes. Hey... So they asked the two of them more seriously and sincerely than ever before. Are you guys... are you really human? * * * After Jaeyoung and Jaekyun go home. Even though it was already long after work hours, all employees of the design & development team were gathering together and talking with serious faces without thinking about going home. Chief... I think we underestimated that friend too much? ....yes? yes. It''s not monster level. It seems to be at the level of a super-ancient monster who came to take over this earth, right? No, what kind of human being implements a feature that is several kilometers in length and width at once? Because that is really out of the ordinary. Originally, the standard method is to divide it into hundreds and thousands ofpartments, implement each part, and connect them like putting puzzle pieces together. That is why they were astonished to see Jae-Kyun, who realized the vast area at once. No, not even that friend named Jae-gyun... but what about that friend? No, I don''t know how long I''ve been ying that game, but how can I direct at such a precise level? I took a quick look at it earlier, but it is so perfectly symmetrical that I can''t find any ws in the real data. It really doesn''t make much sense to adjust it by eyeball. Directing is just as important as implementing data through imagination. The process of integrating the various products of imagination realized by dozens of hundreds of creators into one and harmonizing them to create a single work. Depending on how efficiently and effectively it was done, the time taken for production and the fatigue of creators could be greatly reduced, so the director''s influence was enormous. And Jaeyoung''s directing, which they witnessed a while ago, was far beyond Yang Minhyuk''s ability.... It was a perfect level without any superfluities. ...that sounds really great. Jang Yoon-jung, the chief designer of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who has been silent until now, and a former famous artist who has shown the highest implementation rate so far. She looked a little bit proud, but she opened her mouth in a tone that seemed to admit that she had to admit it. The amount of work that those two friends have implemented... It is safe to say that they have implemented all the basic map data that we do not need to touch. Of course, there are parts where the details are a littlecking in various details because I don''t have enough time, but... it''s unbelievably excellent for a work that was made in 4 hours. The ability to implement so much that even the chief designer himself could not dare to imitate it. It was so enormous that I wondered how I could imagine and draw all of this at once, what I think about on a daily basis, and whether it is possible to live a daily life. So, she was honest about it. Jaekyun''s and Jaeyoung''s ability is so great that even everyone in this room could not dare to reach it. Honestly, it seemed that I had beencent about the fact that I had nopetitors until now... but I have to reflect on this. That these young geniuses had gone so far that we couldn''t keep up. If such friends continue to appear in the future, I might have to write a letter of resignation right away. ..... The atmosphere became a little solemn at those words. In reality, the two were just nonsensical ecosystem disruptors, but the fact that they were applied to young college students who hadn''t even graduated from college yet so much that they didn''t dare rub their feet together must have been quite a stimulus, so the faces of all the design & development team members were indescribable. There were countless subtle emotions. Boss, first of all... is it right for both of them to join this project? Yang Min-hyeok, the head designer, nodded in surprise at her question. For now, yes. Both of them are very interested in this game and seem to enjoy the process itself more than expected, so they decided toe every day to help. I noticed that I thought this was better than going to lecture. No matter what happens, Jaekyun and Jaeyoung catch the bait with the typical habits of college students who don''t mind taking lectures by acknowledging attendance. Hearing that the two of theme every day, she nodded with a strange smile. If those two friends officially join the project... I dont think theres any need to worry about meeting the schedule in the future. Originally, all the staff would stick together to implement the basic terrain features, and even if they stayed up all night, it would have been enough for at least a week. However, only two people managed to get it all done. In less than half a day of 4 hours. That''s why the news made everyone''s faces glow. uh? Iknow, right? Wow... Awesome! Come to think of it, is it really like that? After improving these features a little more and using them as they are, what''s left to do is... Implementation of characters to be used in battle, implementation of each skill system, implementation of basic neutral zone objects, implementation of each purchasable item and its characteristics.. .. uh... still a lot to do..... The first attempt at porting a PC game entirely to a virtual reality system. That''s why they were full of trials and errors that had to be implemented and had to go through, but even so, their expressions were not so dark. Compared to the state where there was nothing just four hours ago, at least now, the drawing paper on which to draw is perfectlypleted. The drawing paper called the gorge of the decisive battle that Jaeyoung and Jaekyun embodied. * * * As soon as he left thepany, Jae-kyun ran to a nearby restaurant. To fill his hungry stomach, he hurriedly stuffed rice into his mouth and ate for a while. Haa... I''m going to live now. Jae-gyun ate 3 servings of food by himself. Then Jaeyoung asked him with a pitiful look on his face as he rubbed his swollen stomach and gave him a satisfied look. You said you were losing weight. Didn''t you say you made a promise with Chaeyeon? He makes all kinds of fuss about losing weight, but his fat doesn''t go down. In addition, his eating habits, which I identally discovered, were so bad that I nodded my head as to why he didn''t fall out. No, but I cant help it on a day like today. I mean, it took a lot of mental energy. Anyway, excuses are good. Oh right. Jaeyoung, can I ask you one question? What else? Jae-gyun asks cautiously, looking at Jae-young''s eyes. He hesitated for a moment at Jaeyoung''s favorable attitude, then asked. That... you went over to the Japanese continent, didnt you? Uh why? Why the hell did you leave? Are you breaking any quests? The Korean continent is still full of undiscovered areas. Jae-gyun seems to be very curious about Jae-young''s move to the Japanese continent, since it is enough to go around there. Looking at his bright eyes full of curiosity, Jaeyoung sighed and said. It''s a quest... that''s not wrong. Is this a real quest? what quest is it? huh? can''t you tell me I won''t tell anyone! Jae-Kyun rushes in with great interest when he hears that he is breaking the quest. To him, who asked him almost begging, Jaeyoung said casually, as if it was nothing special. It''s nothing special... It''s just a quest to pick a dragon''s head. what....? Picking someone''s head...? Jae-gyun looks confused as if he didn''t hear it wrong. Jaeyoung spoke kindly to him once again, as if he had heard him well. Dragon head. Chapter 157 Chapter 157 Kill the Dragon (1) Dragon. An imaginary being that exists in any culture, regardless of East or West. This monster, which can be called a typical clich of fantasy, was also found in Arcadia. [Two huge horns. And slit eyes like reptiles. Its gigantic body and wings spanning tens of hundreds of meters are so intimidating that any strong monster feels instinctive fear. Also...] Contents about dragons that can be easily found in the history books that Jaeyoung read in the beginner vige. Of course, most of them were full of clichd stories that could only be read in mass-produced fantasy. About how terrifying they look, how filthy strong, and how bizarre they are. However, despite being such a clichd dragon, Arcadia''s unique and differentiated setting also certainly existed. That''s an incredibly strong setup. that''s nasty too. And Tan and El weren''t very helpful in finding those lizard children. Is this the home of the lizards? I don''t know about that either? We don''t know any detailed information about the dragon. Information about them with a special mission is not allowed to us either. Even if they were willing to pay for the probability, the archangel and the demon king shook their heads as if it was difficult. Seeing the two of them, Jaeyoung licked his lips in regret. Hey..... I don''t intend to make it easy to find, is this?'' I don''t know if it''s a gamepany''s trick or if it''s the original setting, but it''s impossible to trick using probability. So Jaeyoung had no choice but to find information about them in a different way. No, even if there is no information, howe there are only useless things like this? Arpendia is where all the information about Arcadia is gathered. Although video content was very popr and was the main thing, a lot of information was also being actively uploaded to ces dealing with text content such as strategy bulletin boards, recruitment/job bulletin boards, and free bulletin boards. -Are there any jobs thatmand dragons? -I want to be a dragon apprentice. -How rich is the dragon? -Dragon molting I want to peel. However, even in such Arpandia, there is no useful information, just all sorts of useless personal delusions and tens of thousands of crap posts. Seeing this, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh and frowned. Ah, isnt it aplete difficulty to find? Jae-young rummaged through a pile of rubbish for a long time in a furious search. Still, after all that effort, I was able to find a good piece of information. - Interesting world view of Arcadia. A post title that doesn''t seem to have anything to do with dragons. However, Jaeyoung, who found it strange to be included in the search criteria that he had already narrowed down several times, read the post and opened his mouth at the enormous amount. Wow..... What kind of sincerity is this in one post? Just looking at it, it''s a situation where you''ll press back right away because of the huge amount and dirty readability. However, with narrow eyes, Jaeyoung began to read the brick-like writings one by one. Dragon.... Dragon.... Dragon... A dragon that is mentioned here and there in the post as if it were copied from the history book in the game. But most of them were just stories that Jaeyoung already knew. After searching for a long time, he was able to find something he didn''t know. [The myth that dragons are greedy and stock up all sorts of precious treasures in their dens is true. Historically, 80% of the gold mined so far in Arcadia is an enormous amount beyond imagination, so it is not strange to say that they own it. Also...] The part that is full of exnations about the dragon''s abnormal greed and their transcendent financial power. Among those stories, there was one part that caught Jaeyoung''s eyes. [Curiosity and possessive desire for rare things that he did not have were so intense that he often robbed the treasures of other races, including humans. In the past, there are countless empires and kingdoms that have perished without giving away their treasures in spite of their threats, so please quickly give up what they ask for and save your life. ] .? There is nothing in this world that I cannot have. If you don''t have it, I''d rather break it. Give it to me when I say nice things. Of course, beings who had the mission of saving Arcadia in various crises and took heroic steps in many big events, including the Great War of the Holy Spirit in the past. However, at the same time, at the same time, there were many people whomitted all sorts of corrupt things on a continental scale, so the evaluation of dragons was not so good. Guys you shouldn''t get involved with. The guys who have to give anything. Babies who will live forever with their parents. If you do it wrong, the whole country will disgrace, so you have to be careful not to touch the nt and you have to lie down unconditionally. It''s truly untouchable. While reading their characteristics, Jaeyoung came up with an idea that passed by. uh....? Wait a minute... The thing the dragon didnt have. No, not exactly stuff they don''t seem to have. That''s exactly what happened to Jaeyoung. * * * Hmmmm..... The time when Jaeyoung closed the connection. In the meantime, Tan, whose name is the Great Demon King, used that time efficiently. The work in the Demon Realm, which is basically what you have to do as a demon king, and the traffic control of the people under you who are fighting each other bloodily because they are fighting for rank every time. And now, even the knowledge training for cute novice devils like green sprouts that have started running. Certainly... it has increased. After finishing the channeling with the Demon World, Tan muttered with a pleasant smile. El, who was sitting on the other side of his muttering, asked if he couldn''t hold back his curiosity. What increases? To that question, Tan answered with a proud face as if he was proud. What is it? It is probable. Demon world and demons... and the amount of probability granted to Tan is not absolute. The amount used to vary depending on how much they twisted the cause and effect of this Arcadia and how much the continent was filled with evil that suited their mission. This was the reason why Tan and other demons were struggling day and night against human souls. Isnt it obvious? It''s been a while since I''ve had this, but if the probability doesn''t increase, that''s weird. The number of people who sold their souls through contracts with the devil, such as ck magicians and dark knights, did not increase. It''s just that the energy of evil has be a little more full due to the countless destruction and confusion that urred in therge-scale continental invasion. However, Tan didn''t care about L''s bruises and still responded with a smile. Whatever the reason, it''s true that it''s increased from before. Tan, who had a hard time blowing farts at the owner every time, tearing out the odds. As a result, the fact that the entire continent was filled with an overall evil energy began to make fun of L while looking at L with a scornful face. Did I tell you? Are our masters evil too? You foresee all these situations and act. The owner always worked for evil, except when he fell for El''s trick while he was away and smashed the precious god of the demon world to eat a huge candy. Tan could never understand why El was not evil, as he always inspired Tan to rediscover what true evil was. But at Tan''s words, L stared into his eyes and asked. You... you really dont know? Eh? what....? Do you think only you have increased the probability? El asks a subtle question. At her words, Tan asked with a puzzled look. What the hell is that...? Then, as if noticing something, he opened his eyes and shouted. Could it be that you chicken wings...? L didn''t respond to that and just smiled with a rxed smile. She didn''t answer Tan''s question and just started talking in a low voice. It is true that the Shouen Empire suffered irreparable damage due to this continental invasion, the peaceful residents lost their lives, and countless people shed blood due to magic close to disaster. Truly shit. The ck Pirates crossed not only one continent but also other continents to fight without asking. Obviously, the confusion and damage caused by them was so enormous that it was safe to say that they were rare viins. But... But were these acts purely evil? The criminal, the ve, the tramp, the fugitive, the beggar. For various reasons, those who were despised and stigmatized as human beings who were less than bugs... They found another continent that no one else had found with their own strength, and proudly upied the territory of a mighty empire to establish their own state. Was it really evil to build the ? oppression and exploitation. contempt and loathing. prejudice and discrimination. In this world where everything is determined by status and obstacles are rampant, those who broke the thick and powerful chains and won freedom with their own strength. Those who epted anyone without discrimination and proved this to the whole continent by shining brightly as a symbol of freedom and hope for all oppressed people. Although even that method could not be called good, El could be sure. It means that the road that the Caribbean and the ck Pirates are looking at is a path of justice with all kinds of thorny roads and a path that corresponds to the value of being extremely good. It may not be as much as you, but we have grown too. And... it will continue to increase in the future. I don''t know if the Caribbean will continue to walk the rugged road pursued by Heaven, or if it will eventually deteriorate and decline again in the flow of time, but El intends to keep watching. Whether they will continue to make wise choices ording to the best they have done. What is he saying now....? Tan grumbles as if he doesn''t understand her words. ncing at him as if he was pathetic, L gave him a face. What I mean is that our two contractors are not necessarily evil. Of course, it''s not unconditionally good... Hmm... If I had to say it, I''d just enjoy causing chaos...? what....? chaos. neutrality. It''s neither good nor evil, it''s just the type that moves as it pleases. So far, based on what L has judged from going around together, Jaeyoung is a dog My Way owner who just does what he wants to do. At Els words, Tan asked back as if he was absurd. What kind of perverted person likes to do that? Priest is a bad guy. ck Mage is a good guy. Ordinary human beings are the ones who should go into business. Tan''s head, which sees humans in three ways, did not understand her words well. However, at Tan''s question, L also held back his words because he was a person Jae-young had never experienced before. So it is unique. Well... it could be the characteristics of an adventurer. Immortal beings... No, beings whose souls do not belong to either the heavens or the demon world, to be precise, adventurers. Their behavior waspletely unpredictable, so L secretly kept an eye on Jaeyoung and other adventurers. To prepare for choosing the best in the flow of a huge narrative that may happen in the future. Whoops. And at that moment, Jae-young appears without warning. Seeing him like that, Tan pped his wings and said happily. Oh master. I''m here? Tan speaks first with a pleasant face, probably because the probability that came to him has increased. But he asked Tan right away. Hey Tan. Can you lend me one thing? Eh? what stuff? Those broken pieces of the Deathbringer. do you still have that? I''ll write it down for a second. Jae-young, who is Tan''s wrath and utters words that should never be mentioned in front of him. I flinched the moment I got on his horse, and then asked with a very defensive and wary face. ...Where else should I write that...? And to that, Jaeyoung responded shamelessly. Ill take it and sell it. ..... Jaeyoung holds out her hand as if to exchange some scrap metal candy. Tan looked down at his hand and was silent for a while. What was he thinking with an indescribable expression on his face, he opened his mouth for the first time in a long time and shouted. Hey, this XXX! Seeing him like that, L smiled a little and was convinced. It is said that there has never been a being who fulfills justice as thoroughly as this man and feeds the devil. Chapter 158 Chapter 158 Kill the Dragon (2) The sword that Tan once cherished the most and was the symbol of the Pandemonium. The Deathbringer is a decisive battle weapon to deal with angels and is said to corrupt everything. The power of darkness and power within the sword itself was so great that no powerful being could dare to deal with it. To the extent that even the World Tree that supports Arcadia did not dare to try to escape. However, such a powerful weapon was now shattered to the point of being devastated by El''s evil (?) n. with most of its power lost. [Broken Deathbringer - Myth] These are fragments of the broken Deathbringer, the god of the underworld. Most of its original power was lost due to the powerful divine power, but a few traces of it remain, albeit faintly. -????? -????? -????? -????? Item details window full of question marks. However, even though it was shattered and useless as if to let people know that it was originally a divine instrument, its name was shining brightly as a mythical grade. Hmm..... It''s a really expensive japtem. The Deathbringer is ssified as a japtem, perhaps because it was destroyed to the point where it could never be used. Looking at it, Jaeyoung muttered to himself inadvertently, and Tan asked if he had heard it again, looking at him with eyes that seemed to tear him apart. What did the master just say? Nothing. It''s a game term, so Tan didn''t understand its meaning. He already had all kinds of shes, but there was no need to stimte him again, so Jae-young pretended not to know anything and carefully looked at the pieces of the Deathbringer. Hmm..... Still, this material looks a bit unusual, doesn''t it? What kind of material is it... The pieces were made of ck metal and glittered. Although he was not in the production field and waspletely unfamiliar with the rted field, Jae-young asked curiously, as there was no way that the magical instruments of the demon realm were made of ordinary metal. What metal is this bullet made of? You know what to do with that! Tan still acts sensitively with a face full of dissatisfaction. However, despite his reaction, Jaeyoung answered the reason so calmly. No, you don''t have to know the details of selling things. Its embarrassing when customers ask questions and the seller doesnt know. Owner, Im asking again just in case... You really dont intend to sell this, do you? Tan asks with a curious nce. Jaeyoungughed and shook his head when he saw Tan, who said he would sell it even as a joke. Absolutely not? Don''t worry about that. ..... Tan, with a doubtful expression on his face, seemed to be recovering the pieces of the broken Deathbringer at any moment. Jaeyoung had to exin his future ns again to reassure him. You know very well that it is impossible to search all over this continent in search of dragons. The best thing I can do right now is just get them toe to me on their own feet. To do that, you need something they covet. An item that dragons covet. Something that would make them unable to resist the possessive desires boiling from the depths of their hearts. This broken Deathbringer, judged as a myth, was a very suitable product to stimte their desire. That''s why Jaeyoung kept whispering sweet words into Tan''s ear to seduce him. If you help me this time, I will help you next time. ....how? Dont you want to fix this Deathbringer? ....what? At those words, Tan put on an absurd expression. Now, I was looking for a way to restore it in all directions, but I was struggling because there was no sharp way. However, Jae-young whispers in a quiet tone as if there is a way to fix it. Tan opened his eyes wide at those words and asked in an urgent tone. What, is there any way? Tan rushes in and grabs Jaeyoung by the cor as if asking him to confess the method right away. Jaeyoung said as he pushed him away. Calm down. There is, but it''s not a method that can be used right now. ...The fact that there is a way is in itself important. what is that? Tan gets quite serious about the fact that Jae-young knows how to recover even he, the demon king, does not know. Jaeyoung smiled lightly at him and waved his hand. Did you forget? Who was it that restored the ruined ancient artifact the other day? You can''t...? At that time, seeing Jaeyoung repairing an ancient artifact that had obviouslypletely lost its function, Tan and El said in amazement. [This crazy..... You just warp time to restore those things?] [No way..... To fix things using time regression...] Time regression. The absolute realm of God and the transcendent authority that does not just fix it, butpletely reverses the flow of time and makes the past something that never happened. Jaeyoung was sure that using it, he might be able to revive the Deathbringer, which waspletely soaked in Michael and Muspelheim and lost its power. Whoops. In fact, Jae-young raised his will and put his hand on the Deathbringer. The notification that popped up in front of his eyes clearly proved that it was possible. [The broken Deathbringer responds to probability.] [The probability required for recovery is insufficient.] [Required probability: 20000000] Recovery cost that requires an enormous amount of probability of 20 million. It was a situation where Jaeyoung''s current probability was reallycking, but just the fact that it was possible gave Tan''s eyes a strange hope. Owner... Tan calls Jae-young with a trembling voice, probably overjoyed that he finally found a way to restore it. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said with a yful smile. So be good to me in the future. I have to collect as many probabilities as possible to fix this or not. At the current level, there is no choice. huh! okay! Unlike before, Tan changed into a very favorable attitude. Jaeyoung asked him again. So what is this made of? Hmm... This sword is said to be an abyss metal that is rare even in the Pandemonium. With that... Jaeyoung listened to Tans exnation for a while. While concocting a n in his head to seduce the dragons with this. * A transcendent dragon that lives in a nest all over Arcadia. They used to settle in the most friendly terrain ording to the attributes they possessed. From the extreme ice zone with ice caps that never melt, to the volcanic zone full of superheatedva. And from the rugged jungle filled with miasma to the extreme poisonous realm overflowing and to the underwater cave hidden in the deep sea. To extreme environments where ordinary living things cannot dare to set foot. First of all, it is unreasonable for the owner to find and invade their of the lizard children. why? As I said at the time, it''s hard to find where it is, and it''s hard to find it, and even if you find it, not only have you installed a powerful magic barrier to protect all the treasures that the lizards have gathered so far, Cause I''d let it loose Wouldn''t the proprietor''s probabilities just run out in dealing with them? Jaeyoung''s current probability is about 1.4 million. It wasn''t an amount that could be said to be small, but the amount of probability he had was infinitely insufficient because what he was nning now was such a huge event that what he had done before felt like a funny neighborhood pastime. And... to be honest, with the owner''s probability, it''s absolutely impossible topete head-to-head with a young dragon, not even an old dragon. you know that? Tan and L predicted that the probability of a one-on-one fight with an ancient dragon-ss dragon would exceed a billion units even if they were roughly estimated. Since that was not a guarantee of victory, an absolute fair fight had to be avoided. Hmm..... If you can''t do it alone and you have to bring in other forces... Jae-young frowns as if it''s a little difficult and ponders something deeply. Looking at him like that, L tilted his head with a slightly iprehensible face and asked. Hey Dex... I have a question. huh? what? No, I''ve been listening to the n since before, but I think something is missing. Jaeyoung''s n. It was about how to get the dragon to appear on its own feet. However, since the dragon that appeared dragging its heavy hips had nothing to offer by taking out its own heart, El asked with a slightly skeptical face. Lets say they use the magic of those broken bats as bait to summon a dragon. But how are you going to kill that dragon? As I said before, it''s impossible to single-handedly deal with an Elder Dragon, who has umted nearly infinite mana for more than 8,000 years. No, in fact, even if everyone on this continent joins forces, they would be just a light in the wind? Have you ever imagined The sight of apletely turned dragon-ss dragon flying up in the air andpletely sweeping the entire continent by firing hundreds of 8th circle magic at the same time. Besides, the problem is not the 8th circle, but the 9th circle magic. Those who protect Arcadia ording to the mission given to them will not do it recklessly... but if, at any rate, their lives are judged to be in danger and theymit it in the middle of a fight for the mission of self-defense... L shook his head, frowning as if he was afraid of it. Seeing her reaction, Jaeyoung could not hold back his curiosity and asked. Why? ...Perhaps this entire continent will disappear from the map altogether. 9 circle magic. Meteor Swarm. A heinous magic that plunges dozens of huge meteorites from the sky and turns everything into nothingness. I don''t know if the gamepany is just watching such a situation, but Jaeyoung, who imagined for a moment that the continent Japanese yers were ying on was split in half by meteorites and sank into the sea. Are you okay...? Japan sinking... ...What? If that happened, how likely would it be? An incident on apletely different level from what has happened so far. An atrocity that did not destroy a single vige or city, butpletely erased the continent itself. It''s a short-lived assumption, but seeing Jae-young, who considered the situation and imagined the result, Tan knelt down! and fell in admiration. Kya! You are the owner! okay? Yep! If that''s enough, maybe Deathbringer will gain enough probability to be restored? Tan nodded his head and sent it with bright eyes. Jaeyoung looked at him with tired eyes and asked. ...was it because of that after all? Ah, there is that, but the owner with such trashy ideas is also the most evil human being Ive ever seen. Master, isnt your dream about continent destruction or something like that? At this level, he was the incarnation of evil who came topletely destroy this Arcadia, and L, who looked at him as if he were really looking at him for himself. Looking at her cold expression, Jaeyoung protested urgently. Dont worry, I will never get to that point. Whatever it is, just one room at a time is enough. Jaeyoung says that it only takes one shot while raising one finger. As if not understanding the meaning, Tan and L tilted their heads and asked. yes....? One room...? Eh? What does that mean, master? Jae-young, who wants to send an old dragon-ss dragon to theher road in one shot. He opened his inventory and rummaged for a while, then took out a secret weapon (?) he had acquired a long time ago. omg! Is that...? What crazy! wait for a sec....! Tan and L look shocked at the items Jaeyoung took out. Only then did the two of them recall their memories and understand why he was so obsessed with one room. Bamboo full of green freshness. A bamboo spear with one side sharpened that looks like it could stab anything with one shot. Tan and El were genuinely astonished as they indirectly felt the huge storm of probability thaty dormant in it, whose end they dare not fathom. And seeing the two of them, Jaeyoung muttered with an evil smile. You and I have one shot. No one has one shot... Jaeyoung said while reciting the bamboo spears absolute egalitarianism. Goryongdo is one shot in front of this bamboo spear without exception. Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Kill the Dragon (3) The worst event nned by the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Jukchang Daejeon. Contrary to the intention of the developer, who wanted everyone to fight and enjoy equally and equally, this event turned out to be so unfair. By selfish Dilgyo using fraudulent passives that bamboo spears do not work. To the vicious y of taking a nap in the poison gas sprayed by me not to hide. And because of the monstrous controls and overwhelming physics that no one would dare to match. Wow..... I can''t believe it..... As a result, the event''s final reward is a bamboo spear in Jaeyoung''s hand. Seeing that, Tan looked down at the bamboo spear endlessly, swallowing saliva as if he was really nervous. how is it? Now do you think my n is pretty usible? L freezes without saying anything with a stiff face. Jaeyoung asked her with a mischievous smile. And El didn''t respond to his words. I just witness the huge typhoon of probability swirling around that fresh green bamboo spear and the huge causal flow that ispletely twisted in it. I can''t believe it..... I can''t see anything...'' Archangel Michael, who experienced and witnessed all kinds of things while traveling with Jaeyoung. But at this moment, for the first time, she realized that the supreme authority bestowed on her was not working, and she was shocked. [A huge variable distorts the flow of all narratives.] [The forerunner of the causalw of authority cannot look into the future.] [There is no future that can be predicted.] Archangel Michael, the Aspect of Holy Glory. The most powerful authority she can wield as the head of the heavens and with the mission of protecting light and goodness. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is because of this authority that the heaven world was able to overwhelm the demon world and establish a superior position. But at this moment. For the first time, only total darkness, not always predictable future, filled her mind. That''s why El opened his mouth more carefully and calmly than ever before. If it''s that stuff, it''s good enough... I guess it''s possible. right? -The target stabbed with authenticity is instantly killed. -Defense Completely ignores magic defense. A bamboo spear endowed with simple but absolute settings. There was no change in the fact that any powerful old dragon would die instantly with this green bamboo stab. That''s why Jaeyoung licked his lips as if he was sincerely sorry. Oh, its really sad to see it like this. Didn''t I just have to reject that offer...? At the time, I thought it was an incrediblyrge probability that made me wonder why it was spread like this, but now that I think about it again, the probability of 1 million was so small that I didn''t even get a message from the liver. Especially in a situation where there must be an enormous probability of 20 million to recover the Deathbringer. However, a transaction that has already beenpleted cannot be undone. That''s why Jaeyoung said while looking at Tan and L, who were making subtle expressions, putting their regrets behind. Now...then shall we try to think of a scenario roughly? Eh? what scenario? Tan tilts his head as he sees Jaeyoung sinking into his seat. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung said with an evil smile. What scenario? Its a scenario to make that old lizarde to his feet. The conspiracy between Jaeyoung and the two supreme beings (?) began like that. The ce where they were located was like a secluded meadow where no one could feel any presence around them, but there was someone who was listening to every single story the three of them were talking about. [Detection of a fatal variable.] [In-depth analysis of the subject''s behavior pattern..... The risk is the highest.] Arcadia, a virtual reality that is already perfect in itself, a coboration between transcendent technology and a human outside the human category. This world, which was born in an idental miracle of unintended circumstances, was reborn in the form of a game with an interesting idea. And Arcadia Co., Ltd., which takes the role of artificially adjusting that one world and intervening in the world to make it into a game. Alice, an artificial intelligence system that assists and coordinates them to maintain and operate the game system. She realized what Jaeyoung was trying to do in the game by monitoring and analyzing in real time. It means that new possibilities have begun to bloom explosively in a huge variable that deviate from all scenarios predicted so far. [Consumable item bamboo spear (). Reexamination of predictable scenarios.....] A catastrophe born from the painful nning failure of the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Even though it was a bamboo spear that had been degraded to a consumable item that could only be used once, the effect itself remained unchanged, so the target Jaeyoung was aiming for was the dragon, the guardian and adjuster of Arcadia and the strongest. The arithmetic circuit began to work more intensely than ever. Weiying. [warning. Contamination detected in arge-scale scenario.] [Contaminated quest.... Unmeasurable.] [Emergency action activated. CODE 000 003 008.... 940.] Unexpected things happen every day, and Alice has an emergency protocol in ce to deal with them. And she activated the codes for all of those action ns. And as a result, the same phenomenon began to appear in all branches around the world, including the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Whoops. What is it all of a sudden? ...that chief? Cant ess the intr? uh....? what. Why does it say that my authority has been suspended? To make Arcadia, one perfect world, into a game, the employees work hard day and night to develop it and run around sweating their feet. However, they couldn''t hide their bewilderment at the fact that all the authorities granted to them were suddenly taken away, and that all the systems necessary for work were stopped in an instant. Could it be hacking...? It doesn''t seem like that. It''s not just our Japanese side, but if you look at the same situation happening in other branches, it seems like a server problem or an anomaly in the program. At the same time, the employee repeatedly teased the hand typing on the keyboard as if checking something, then tilted his head as if wondering, and said, Fortunately, the Arcadia server itself... has no major problems. It seems that the intr for our business has been down for a while. The game itself runs wlessly. So, Governor Kazuki frowned at the words of the employee who was on the phone to check the situation and said in a stern voice. Call headquarters right now! All right. At that, the staff immediately picked up the receiver without hesitation. For the Korean branch, where Lee Mi-yeon, CEO of Arcadia Co., Ltd., is the general manager in charge of all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd. spread around the world. * * * While the offices scattered around the world were in chaos, Jack, the creator of Arcadia and the de facto owner of Arcadia, muttered in amazement as he saw the state of Alice, who was now overloaded for the first time. [Oh my god..... I never thought it would distort everything like this.....] When the world tree that fell asleep was awakened by the destruction of the Deathbringer. And I had foreseen this situation when the self of the awakened world tree asked Jae-young to bring the dragon''s heart, saying that he needed it to restore his strength. However, the quest''s existence itself makes no sense, and the difficulty level is the worst, with the probability of clearing converging to 0%. That''s why neither Jack nor Alice were too concerned about this. Crossing over to another continent, finding an old dragon, and getting the heart by cutting off the dragon''s head were all gigantic feats and achievements that ordinary users would not dare to achieve. I thought it would be possible someday, but I didn''t think it would be this fast. [I predicted that it would take at least a year just for the development of the rted scenario...] In just two months, Jae-young overcame all the difficult difficulties so easily that it could be considered a foul. And now, what he was nning on the Japanese continent was tantamount to igniting a fuse that would wreak havoc on the entire continent scattered across Arcadia. [I want all the scattered continents toe together again.] The mission given to the World Tree. A key setting in the narrative created by Jack himself, nning for something to happen not now but in the next decade or so. For a very long time, various stories have blossomed due to users on each continent, and a huge scenario that I tried to try only after everything was ripe. However, the lotive that had already run out of control was going ahead alone like crazy without knowing the end. [It''s progressing so fast that other people can''t keep up...] Other people are starting an adventure beyond the base kingdom they started ying because they''ve leveled up a little, but they went to another continent alone and realized a transcendental world. Jae-young is trying to get the head of a mythical being. Looking at him like that, Jack muttered with a genuinely troubled expression on his face. [Insufficientputing resources..... Switch to emergency mode. Minimize the Arcadia real-time surveince system. Fully disabled business system. Concentrated analysis of probable scenarios.....] Alice poured all avableputational resources into analyzing probable scenarios. Jack nodded in admiration but understanding that, for the first time, herputational resources were being overloaded. If Jaeyoung''s previous steps had just ended in the aftermath of the Second Continent, Alice''s calctions would have to beplicated because this one was a tremendous event that sent an irreversible huge shockwave to all continents in Arcadia. There was no [Yeah..... I was nning to expand the calction server, but...] After the fact that it was possible to move to another continent was revealed to the world, Alice''s work gradually increased, and the expansion work was necessary. Thinking that there was still plenty of room until the server consolidation scenario was activated, Alice was overloaded to the point where she could not function normally, but Jack''s expression was not so dark. [Really... He''s so simr to him...] Jae-youngmits all sorts of hoaxes in the game, driving yers across continents and around the world into chaos and destruction. Looking at him like that, Jack made a strange face as if he was reminiscent of someone, and then smiled with a meaningless smile as if he was having fun. [But... it''s definitely fun to be fun. What will happen in the future.] It is exciting just to watch, so I am very excited about what will happen in the future. That''s why Jack, the creator of Arcadia, is in a situation where his world doesn''t go ording to the boring predictable scenario. And I really liked Jaeyoung, who always presents surprises to himself. All the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who are suffering from it, and Jack''s lover Jennica, who is the leader of Silicoff, are plotting some kind of assassination (?) with a mutant AIDS virus while grinding their teeth next to them. That''s how he realized the truth of the game. The truth is that games are the most fun when they are open. Chapter 160 Chapter 160 Kill the Dragon (4) Abnormal phenomena urred simultaneously in all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd. due to Jaeyoung. As a result, all management rights were suspended and the entirepany''s work was suspended, so President Lee Mi-yeon called. It was the first meeting of the heads of all branches since the establishment of thepany. [That...it seems that all the presidents attended the meeting.] Since it is a multinationalpany with branches all over the world, there are many practical difficulties in gathering the heads of all branches in one space, so the meeting was held via video. President Lee Mi-yeon started talking while watching dozens of people sitting with serious expressions on the huge screen that filled one wall. First of all, I apologize for calling an emergency meeting without any notice. Since the matter was urgent, I did not have time to spare, so I had no choice. Please understand those who missed work or came out early in the morning. [Kuhuhmm..... No, boss.] [Something important has happened to thepany, and I think that might be the case.] The first virtual reality servicepany, in its early 30s, exerts a strong influence around the world. Lee Mi-yeon, CEO of Arcadia. At her apology, branch managers aged at least 50 waved their hands, saying it was okay with embarrassed faces as if they were a little embarrassed. [Rather than that... Can you tell me the exact situation of the current situation?] Kazuki, the branch manager in charge of the third continent of Arcadia. He asked President Lee Mi-yeon with a slightly perverse attitude if he did not like all the situations that were happening recently. However, despite his tone, which could have been a bit unpleasant, she didn''t show the slightest hint and said with a smile. Ah, the reason your management system and work intr arepletely paralyzed right now is because the artificial intelligence system is temporarily overloaded. It will be difficult to recover right now, but after a while, the system will normalize without any problems. [If it''s an artificial intelligence system... Are you talking about Alice?] Yes, that''s right. Emily, the branch manager in charge of the US branch, opens her eyes wide at President Lee Mi-yeon''s words and asks as if she is surprised. She muttered with a puzzled look on her face, as if she couldn''t believe that Alice had been suspended due to an overload of the system. [I can''t believe it..... That Alice is overloaded? What the hell is going on...] Emily, who has been researching artificial intelligence architecture all her life. She was astonished at the fact that her system was overloaded because she knew that Alice''s capabilities and possibilities far surpassed human intelligence more than any artificial intelligence she had ever seen. [joy! That fucking AI system. It looked like there was going to be a problem, but of course.] However, Branch Manager Kazuki put on a snort and put on a cynical expression as if he knew what would happen at President Lee Mi-yeon''s words. He said with sharp eyes shining as if he had caught the pod to attack. [President, as the branch manager in charge of the Japanese branch, I will make a suggestion. Even if it''s not a problem right now, considering what''s happening recently, the limitations of artificial intelligence systems are obvious. Please consider readjusting Alice''s authority for stable service and smooth operation of the game.] Branch Manager Kazuki requesting Alice''s authority readjustment. At his words, the expressions of the branch managers reflected in the image changed in various ways. Authority readjustment... what exactly do you mean by that? President Lee Mi-yeon tilted her head and asked as if she did not understand the gist of Kazuki''s words. In response to her question, Kazuki directly stated what he wanted. [This means reducing the management authority of artificial intelligence and expanding the authority possessed by managers and branches who are actually in charge of operational services.] Perfect AI Alice. Her ability to observe and monitor the entire Arcadia world yed by billions of users, actively analyze everything and respond in real time is so efficient and excellent that no human being or organization dares to follow. And none of the people in this conference room were unaware of that fact. [Crazy. Diminution of authority... don''t you know what that means right now?] At the request of Kazuki, Emily, who was in charge of the US branch, looked at him with a madman''s gaze and frowned. [The biggest advantage of Arcadia in virtual reality is the update that is actively applied in real time. People are crazy about him. It''s thanks to Alice that the game system and environment can instantly change depending on the y and can respond to it. Are you saying we should give up on that?] Emily reacts sharply, as if this could never happen. In response to her question, Governor Kazuki smirked with a poop-chewed face. [I haven''t been hit by that fucking artificial intelligence yet, so it sounds like that. That''s pitiful.] [....What did you just say?] A meeting with a cold atmosphere that seems like they''re going to fight at any moment. Among those who were quietly watching the atmosphere, President Lee Mi-yeon asked softly. Hmm... what do the other branches think? A question from President Lee Mi-yeon, who wants to hear each other''s thoughts. The branch managers, who had been silent and watched the situation at her question, began to carefully bring out their thoughts one by one. [I admit that the artificial intelligence system is useful, but I think it is necessary to strengthen our authority as the operator.] [ That''s right. To be honest, even if each branch tried to develop unique system updates or contents, it often failed due to Alice''s refusal.] [ At the Chinese branch, Alice had previously...] As if there were a lot of things umted so far, the water broke once. Comints started pouring in. Seeing President Lee Mi-yeon silently listening to their stories, Governor Kazuki said with a triumphant face. [Heh heh..... After talking like this, it seems that there were many executives who thought simrly to me, boss.] Kazuki thought that his words were gaining strength and that the atmosphere of public opinion had be favorable. He looked at President Lee Mi-yeon once again and said. [It is true that Alice is superior to any artificial intelligence. But even so, when these catastrophic errors ur, they cause great confusion. I would like you to consider strengthening the administrative authority at least to make up for this to prevent this from happening again...] Director Kazuki. And dear branch heads of all branches. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon cuts off his words and smiles. She slowly got up from her seat, took a quick look at everyone who appeared to be a burner, and said. Dont get me wrong. [...Yes?] [What''s that...?] A frozen skepticism at her remarks as she spat with a smile on her face. However, President Lee Mi-yeon did not care and continued to talk about what she wanted to say. I am calling this meeting not to discuss Elise''s temporary overload or to adjust your administrative powers. It is to inform in advance what will happen to all of Arcadia that we serve in the future... no, to notify. The branch managers look confused as if they didn''t understand her words. Looking at them like that, CEO Lee Mi-yeon dered. As of the current time, all main scenarios and events nned or promoted by each branch or development of their own quests arepletely suspended. In the future, we will not tolerate updates at the branch or continent level until further instructions are given. [What do you mean?] President Lee Mi-yeon''s order to get rid of all development work. At her words, the branch managers who were developing and promoting various projects, including the main scenario, looked shocked. However, President Lee Mi-yeon continued by emphasizing that he had no intention of overturning. If you are trying to exin the justification for not following my instructions right now, dont do it because you dont need to and you dont want to hear it. I will not ept any objections. This is a situation that has no choice but to be, regardless of my will or doctor. [What do you mean by that? A situation that has no choice but to be?] A question from someone who asks urgently with a puzzled face as if he can''t understand at all. In response to that question, President Lee Mi-yeon put her finger in her mouth and thought for a moment, as if struggling with whether she should tell her this. Hmm... This isn''t information worth revealing to you either... but it''s meaningless in the current situation, so let me tell you. President Lee Mi-yeon maniptes theputer for a while and then disys something on the screen. She looked at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was standing right next to her, sweating profusely. Executive? Do you know what map this is? ...Isnt that a map of Arcadia? A map of the world with eight continents. There was no one who could not recognize the map because each continent in charge of the branch managers participating in this video conference was all appearing. And at Kwon Myeong-han''s answer, CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded and smiled. that''s right. Its a world map with all the continents of Arcadia. [...?] The branch managers are looking at President Lee Mi-yeon with eyes as if asking why he is showing this. Looking at them like that, she clicked the mouse once and said. And... in the future, the world map of Arcadia will change like this. Continents began to move slowly at the same time as she spoke. As the eight continents merged into one huge continent, as if putting together puzzle pieces, everyone opened their mouths in amazement as if they had made a promise. And after a moment of silence, explosive reactions appeared. [What do you mean by this now?] [All the continents... merged into one...?] [Wait! Why did such nonsense happen all of a sudden...!] The 8 continents that exist in Arcadia. In Arcadia, a virtual reality service under one world, the continent symbolized a server in a general game. Arcadia, which was assigned to each continent by gathering simr countries together in consideration of the time zone of the users who y thenguage they are using and their cultural characteristics. It is in the early stage that users who have just adapted to the game in the assigned continents are enjoying virtual reality while having a stable adventure. So, imagining the enormous confusion and conflict that her n to unite all the continents would bring, the branch managers scrambled to express their opposition. [Absolutely not! president! That''s not real!] [Users'' bacsh is no joke!] [You shouldn''t do that unless you''re determined to ruin the game.] For the first time, all the branches protest against each other. However, President Lee Mi-yeon spoke softly while listening to their stories. To be honest, you are all right. Well, it might be okay after a long time has passed, but right now it''s too premature and it''s crazy that there are more losses than benefits. [...] Her words instantly quieted the meeting room. President Lee Mi-yeon smiled at the branch managers who looked at her as if they were dumbfounded, and said, Don''t misunderstand me. Infinite freedom. And endless possibilities. Lee Mi-yeon, president of Arcadia, recites the core value and absolute management policy. And she waved her hands as if she couldn''t help it. If the subject of this crazy thing is a user, there is no way for me or you to stop it. [Yes....?] [User?...?] The branch managers asked back as if that statement was absurd. And they soon realized. The fact that the huge tsunami of shit that is nowing from the Japanese continent is pouring down on everyone equally, regardless of the opponent. for both users and operators. Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Kill the Dragon (5) Arcadia, a world full of secrets and hidden elements. Unlike other games, in this virtual reality, people could not pass by any chance meeting or opportunity. Ahhh! Please find my precious doll. Hey... can you help me with my work? You want to buy this ne? Just give me 10 gold. I can never give you anything less. From a child crying miserably after losing a doll in a remote rural vige; from a shabby old man who struggles to carry his luggage alone; People were astonished when the identity of these quests, which had been abandoned for a long time, were revealed because they were things that no one would have paid attention to and passed by unintentionally. -Wow... To think that the quest for a hidden ss marite''s transfer started with finding a kid''s lost doll... Really crazy. -Is it true that the ne I bought for 10 gold on the street turned out to be a sealed unique item? - Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. I received 500 gold magic stones as a reward for carrying only one piece of luggage. Users who luckily hit the jackpot in trivial things that no one seems to be paying attention to. Looking at these cases, people would think again. The fact that nothing that exists in this game should never be overlooked. wee! This is the Midas Merchant! The Midas Merchant, the most famous guild on the 3rd continent of Arcadia and a powerful influence throughout the continent. Yokotsu, who belongs to this team and is developing his dream of bing a merchant, was enjoying ying the same way as usual today. hey! Yokotsu! long time no see. How have you been? Ah, Tsubasa-san. Those who greet each other as if they know each other well. And the warrior user called Tsubasa naturally took out the by-products obtained from hunting from the inventory and said. The iron horns of the Opel I spoke of before. I''m here to sell that and everything else. The japtem filled the sales table, probably gathered while hunting for quite a long time. Yokotsu, who carefully inspected the items one by one to see if there were any abnormalities, calcted the purchase price in his head and started bargaining. Hmm..... Lately, the price of iron horns has gone down because of oversupply, but... Huh? really? yes. Recently, the demand from workshops and production users has dropped a lot. I heard it was a headache because there was too much stock. I can''t believe it... I purposely gathered as much as possible. Tsubasa muttered with a confused face as if shocked at the fact that she was not getting paid right now. Seeing him like that, Yokotsu pondered for a moment, then nodded as if he was patronizing. Do not worry. Still, the prices of red dandelions and yellow Irene, which you collected from time to time, skyrocketed. It''s a bitcking, but... but at this level, I think the purchase price wille out simr to the market price I received before. Really? yes. Tsubasa let out a sigh of relief as if she was d to hear that. He murmured with a fuss as if surprised. It''s already tight to cover the capsule installment and usage fees, but I was surprised to think that I wouldn''t be able to get more than now. As if the calctions had beenpleted, Yokotsu took out the money from the safe behind the counter, handed it to him and said with a smile. Still, it would be better to move the hunting ground now. The price of iron horns is unlikely to increase for the time being, so it may be difficult to cover the cost of potions or equipment repairs next time. Oh, thats how it should be. Whew! I want it because it''s so hard to earn gold... Tsubasa grumbled as ifining. But Yokotsu spoke as if he was envious of him. But you do it as a hobby while going to work. Thats true, but... but it would be nice to earn some pocket money with this. If you look at the deficit, its obvious that your wife will run amok on that day, saying that she sold capsules. Tsubasa, who has been talking about the joys and sorrows of a sry earner who is caught up in his wife, for a long time. However, while listening to his story, Grit, who was watching the scene from beginning to end, and the owner of the store run by the Midas Merchant, red at him with sharp eyes and asked, hey! Yokotsu! Is the transaction with the customer not over yet? yes? ah! yes It''s over! Then why are you still talking? Hurry up here and clear the books! Greet shouts in a voice full of annoyance, as if he doesn''t like being fooled. In response to his hostile response, Yokotsu looked at him with an apologetic look as if he were used to it. sorry. I have to go now. ...I guess the caretaker is still here? Its all like that... Shit... Anyway, no matter how much I think about it, its funny. It''s an NPC, but it''s an NPC that hates yers. Tsubasa shakes her head as if she doesn''t understand and looks at Yokotsu with pity. As I stood there with an awkward smile on his sympathetic eyes, Griet''s unkindmand fell again. Donte soon! What do you keep talking about! yes! Go now! Leaving Tsubasa behind, Yokotsu hurriedly ran in front of him. Looking at his expression full of grumpiness, I prepared my mind as if it was a start again. And sure enough, from then on, his nagging started like a quick-fire gun. Hey Yokotsu. I''ve clearly said it before. Time is money, and chatting with customers at this dealership is like throwing that precious gold down the gutter. There were many things he wanted to say about his remarks, as if the concept of customer management had been thrown into the gutter, but he knew very well that his boss was not a person to listen to in words, through many experiences and trial and error. Tsu kept his mouth shut and listened to him in silence. Anyway, this is why I hate adventurers. They are self-interested people who goof around every time, look for the easy way whenever they have a chance, and when they get a chance, they rush at it like crazy and take the credit of others to themselves. I don''t understand why people like you are epted. NPCs, the original inhabitants of this world. And one day, adventurers who suddenly appear and wander around this world. If this was real, it wouldn''t be strange if there was a lot of confusion and fierce bloodshed between the two, but perhaps because it was a game, they epted the existence of adventurers so naturally. Will you be able to make a profit with the purchase of a few by-products from killing a few of those monsters? I''m telling you, but don''t do that, find something that can make money properly! A valuable item worth the money! Is it that hard? Sales first. Second, sales. Third, sales are the most important merchants. That''s why Yokotsu is growing as a merchant through the standard method of making continuous customers, strengthening human rtionships, and gradually increasing the volume of transactions. However, instead of praising him, Greet said as if he was frustrated. I told you before! First of all, say that the market price has dropped, and call from half the price and see! I have to raise it little by little from there. If you buy it honestly at thetest market price like that, where the hell are you trying to get a profit! Are you still a merchant? Greet has built up a track record by striking expensive items at ridiculous prices from those who are insensitive to the market price. However, Yokotsu, who was deeply disgusted by his naive and dirty ways, raised his head as if he could not stand his words forcing his way full of greed. Im sorry, manager, but I dont want to do business that way. what....? Yokotsu directly rebelled against his words. At his words, Grit put on a puzzled expression for a moment, then with his plump cheeks trembling, he shouted with a grim distorted face. What is this ungrateful bastard who doesnt even know the grace he has given me...? I will be honest. If you do business that way, even if you''re lucky right now, you might be able to make a big performance, but it won''t be long before it copses. What''s the point of all that if you can''t build the most important credit as a merchant? As if he couldn''t stand it anymore, Yokotsu said something he wanted to say with a determined face. At his words, Grit shouted with a flushed face, pointing his finger at him. get out! Get out now! you''re fired! How dare you be arrogant on the subject of mere adventurers... Yokotsu, who has been working with Midas Merchant so far. However, when he heard Greet say he was fired, he took off his top uniform with an expression that seemed to have made up his mind. yes. I will never be able to work at the upper level like a bully like this any more. [Greet''s affinity goes to the worst.] [Dismissed from the Midas Guild.] [Obtained the title Merchant who chose Faith''.] [ Reputation has risen by 782.] [Likeness at the Competitive Guild has risen slightly. .] After that, Yokotsu leaves the ce where he has worked hard for several months. Even after he left, Grit trembled and shouted as if his anger was not resolved. This is why adventurers can''t have sex! People say that merchants don''t have the basic skills they should have, and they only listen to ostentatiousness and bravado! The only thing you can trust in this world is money. Iugh as much as others cry. eat the world otherwise it''s a joke The same philosophy as his conviction that has allowed him to rise to this position so far. Grit murmured, feeling an unbearable sense of humiliation at Yokotsu''s disapproval of his remarks. Lets see where to put it. How great a merchant he is while living with such a weak heart. Grit is full of thoughts of fucking him by any means necessary. How much he was focused on it, he asked after noticing an old man who suddenly appeared in front of him and stared nkly at him. What did youe for? Greet exudes a lot of arrogance with a brusque voice. The old man didn''t care about his attitude and spoke in a cracked voice. I came to sell a product... What are you talking about? Outwardly, he is an old man dressed in shabby clothes. At first nce, it didn''t look like it would make money, so Greet spoke with an attitude full of annoyance. If its something you picked up on the street, dont think about it, just go home. Our Midas Merchants are the best on the continent, and we don''t treat anything other than luxury goods... But he couldn''t finish his words. ck pieces of metal spilled from an unknown small pouch. Greet''s pupils began to widen at the strange energy that seemed unusual just by looking at it. This is...? The aura of ck light that fills the store. Looking at this unusual object, which at first nce seemed full of ominous and wickedness, Griet appraised the metal shards with trembling hands. And he opened his mouth in astonishment as if he forgot to manage his expression. Why? Is it something valuable? An old man who asks with an innocent face as if he doesn''t know anything. As ifing back to his senses at his question, Griet cleared his throat and said with a rather puzzled face. Hehehehe! no it''s not like that Looking at the pieces roughly... I think it was originally a sword, but it''s really unfortunate that it waspletely smashed. ...It''s been like this since the first time I saw it. The old man muttered, nodding his head with regretful eyes. Greet''s head began to spin rapidly at the question he asked with a sullen face as if he didn''t expect much at first nce. So... are you going to buy this thing? Still, I want you to pay the scrap metal properly. Uhm..... Originally, even if I bought a damaged item like this, I don''t have a ce to sell it, so it''s ambiguous... Greet looked at the old man sparingly for a long time. After much thought, he asked cautiously with a patronizing face. Still, you seem to havee a long way.... I can give you about 5 gold. 5 gold. Considering the price of scrap metal, the amount is ridiculously generous. However, after grasping the identity of this object in front of his eyes, Griet knew what a ridiculous blow this was. But even so, the old man epted the offer with great enthusiasm, even though it was the price he had asked for fear of arousing suspicion if he asked for an excessive amount. That''s not bad. That''s good. Am I really, old man? At the word that he would sell it, Greet immediately changed his Udyr-ss stance and began to cringe. He handed 5 gold to an unknown old man and closed the shop door with joy and broke the room, but he didn''t even notice it in the middle of it. The fact that the little devil, who was watching the goods he had just purchased with vignt vignce, with eyes tearing to death, had followed right next to him. Chapter 162 Chapter 162 Kill the Dragon (6) Satan, the ruler of the demon realm and the source of all evil. His name, which stained Arcadia with blood and engulfed Arcadia in the past, was a notorious fear that made even a crying child stop. But now, that fearful being was sitting alone in a dark warehouse with the lights off, guarding the shattered pieces of his weapon, Deathbringer, the divine god of the underworld. Ew fuck. Even inter years, even if the viin was twisted, it was really messed up. However, Tan, who once did all sorts of foolish things in Arcadia, muttered,menting his miserable situation. Somehow, I seem to be getting involved in that bastards pace without even realizing it... One day, a forcibly concluded familiarity contract. As a result, Tan, who manifested in Arcadia in the size of the imps widely scattered on the roads of the Pandemonium with almost all powers restricted, was resentful at first, but when he realized the identity of thetent powers of humans who seemed ignorant of the world, he realized that this was a great opportunity. realized that Let''s see... If we remove the probability as much as possible and use it to drive out the forces of the celestial world...?'' Tan began to cooperate with him, envisioning a grand n to turn Arcadia into an evil world again. However, contrary to his initial intention, everything began to go strangely wrong. It''s all because of that damn chicken. Archangel Michael. His nemesis who has existed since the beginning of time, and a goddamn existence who always puts a gouge on the ns he has been preparing and promoting for a long time, and stuffs a big and huge taffy into his mouth. Because of her suddenly appearing and iming to be her guardian angel as always, Tan had no choice but topete with her by opening his eyes and putting on a desperate butthole show that he couldn''t bear to see. Ugh... if it wasn''t for that chicken wing child... how much is the probability that I would have earned? Originally, Tan had nned to lend his strength as if he were patronizing while ripping off probability through ridiculous profiteering. However, every time he tried to cheat even a little bit, the probability that Tan had earned by following Jaeyoung was ambiguous enough to barely avoid a deficit because of El who would tell and reveal that it was not the regr price. No, its a total loss. My sword is broken because of that fried chicken. Deathbringer, the Goddess of the Pandemonium, was brutally torn to pieces as a retaliation measure for destroying one of the holy ces. It was nothing else but a symbol of precepts, and it was an absolutely necessary weapon to bring out 100% of his power, so Tan risked his life and death to find a way to fix it. This... is probably hard to fix. If it''s just broken, I''ll try to fix it somehow, but most of the existing power has been tainted by the powerful divinity. It is impossible to go back to the way it was before, even if we put all our resources into restoration... Even if you go to the devil who is most proficient in crafting in the Pandemonium, you will lose all divinity and fall into vanity, drifting in the flow of time like an eternity. Even if you go to the ancient deity with difficulty and inquire. A situation where no one shakes their head and says recovery is difficult. In such a hopeless situation, Tan had no choice but to cling to Jae-young more desperately than ever. If you do as I say, you never know. Maybe you can restore it to its original state. A human being who uses probabilities as he sees fit and does all sorts of nonsensical things. At the same time, an insane person who knows that he is great and uses it as bait to pamper himself, the absolute and supreme being of the demon world. Tan himself felt very well that he was openly being used, but he couldn''t overturn the game because he was heartbroken. No matter what, the ce where Jae-young passed was full of chaos and ruin, and the things he did to achieve what he wanted were so evil and vicious that he, as a devil, could see admiration. That''s why Tan, with a bitter taste, took out a ck scroll today and wrote down notes. All the basic knowledge of viciousness that must be learned as a devil. At the same time, in the distant future, he hopes that all demons will be able to follow his ws, believing that the day wille when his tearful butthole show will one day turn dark. * * * On the third continent of Arcadia, there was a country of a special type that could not be found on other continents. Isnt there a need for a trading city where you can trade what you need freely without being bound by any interests? It would be nice to have a ce where we can negotiate with peace of mind even in conflict situations like war. Kingdoms and empires spanning entire continents. Although each goal was different, the permanent neutral city-state andpletely free trade city of Ban was intentionally created ording to the strategic interests of each country. Because of the geographical advantage of being the center of the continent and the great advantage of gathering all the products from the entire continent, there were also many adventurers who enjoyed ying with this ce as a base. Come on cheap! it''s cheap! A top-notch handcrafted weapon handcrafted by artisans. Go see it. Im selling the magic book I just hunted! Its the 3rd circle, so please suggest a reasonable price. I buy gold. I want to buy in bulk at the average market price. We start by verifying your identity in real life. Unlike other ces, it is overflowing with rare materials as well as expensive items, and a city with arge amount of gold circting on the continent. And Jaeyoung, who stepped into such a city, muttered while looking around with strange eyes wearing a mask of deception. Ohhh... Are there people who openly buy gold in this way? Cash transactions that usually take ce online, knowingly or unknowingly, negatively. Of course, Arcadia has never officially banned or sanctioned it, but in the case of Korea, where it is illegal under the currentw, I couldn''t find wallet warriors who would buy it in cash. However, those who do not care much about this part show off their wealth and buy gold indefinitely. And Jaeyoung secretly looked at the equipment they were wearing and muttered with a look of surprise. The level of the continent here is a little behind than I thought. Wallet warriors who are equipped with better equipment than anyone else and go ahead with abundant gold using real wealth. However, looking at the level of equipment that seems too ordinary for such things and the level that doesn''t look that high, it seemed like there was a huge gappared to the Korean continent. Hmm... I think it''s definitely like that, but I think it''s probably because of Dex-sama''s influence? huh? I? L heard Jaeyoung muttering to himself. At her meaningful words, Jaeyoung asked with an expression as if what she was talking about. Then L looked at him with eyes that seemed like he really didn''t know and said. You really don''t know? Why did this ce have such a difference from the original continent? ...I dont know, do you? Jaeyoung seems to have no idea. After staring at him for a long time with an absurd look, L sighed and started talking. First of all, you provoked the Holy Empire by summoning a lich who had gained notoriety hundreds of years ago for no reason just because you destroyed a ducal territory, right? Why? Because of that, it was clearly imprinted on all humans who chose between good and evil, including adventurers. The fact that if you don''t have the strength, you can be brutally beaten without any resistance. The great divide between good and evil. Until now, whenever Arcadia Korean branch is cursed, it is mentioned as a regr customer and talked about as the worst event witch hunt ever. Because of that incident, the users of the good and evil camps had irreversible hostility to each other, and since then, the users of the Korean continent have been burning up every day with extremely fiercepetition in everything including levels. If we dont protect the Maroon Kingdom, we dont know when well get infinite PK from those damn priests again. How long was the peace treaty supposed tost? Did you say three years? Look at this fuck. Until then, we''ll just riot and then attack in reverse and burn the entire Holy Empire. The users who are selling out by pouring everything into growth while sharpening the de of revenge for the things they suffered at that time. It was not Jae-young''s intention, but the enmity and hatred for each other became a powerful driving force to grow faster than any other continent. In addition... in the midst of that, a peace treaty was concluded between the elves and dwarves at the right time, and the doors of these two races, which had been firmly closed, were opened to humans, right? A race of dwarves with blessed dexterity that specializes in crafting and creates all sorts of rare and high-performance items like child''s y. Elves, the guardians of the World Tree, who are friendly with nature,mand spirits, and create their own unique spirit magic, mystical archery, and artifacts with special magic. Items and skills that began to spread little by little from the two races, each with special talents and powers. In the case of the Korean continent where Jaeyoung was ying, as there were even users who stood out by acquiring hidden sses, the power of users was rising steeply to an abnormal extent. ...How the hell do you know that? The aftermath that I never thought about. Seeing L talking about unknown information unless he directly checked the data, Jaeyoung asked in bewilderment. But she just smiled strangely and muttered as if talking to herself. It''s just... I can see it. Tan and the people around him couldn''t see it, but it was always visible in El''s eyes. The gigantic causal storm that swirls around Jaeyoung and the countless threads of karma whose number cannot even be measured are connected in all directions. That''s why L did not actively intervene even if Jae-young''s actions were vicious and evil that collided head-on with the banner pursued by Heaven. Because if she dared to intervene and touched him, he couldn''t handle the aftermath of the probability that would rage out of control. Jaeyoung, who was tilting his head at the words that he could not understand the exact meaning of, changed the topic as if he had remembered. Ah, by the way... I have a question for you. yes. What do you mean? The Deathbringer you destroyed yourself before... When I tried to persuade you that I could restore it, I honestly thought you would intervene, saying that it would never work. Saying it was a long-cherished wish, the Deathbringer was shattered by pulling out several pirs of the celestial world. It was she who would have consumed a huge amount of probability by going to the descent herself for that, so I thought she would make a fuss saying that she would never see that, but Jae-young was honestly surprised by L''s reaction, which was quieter than I thought. Oh is that it? L responds to Jaeyoung''s words with a smile. She said with a confident face as if she knew everything. I knew that was just a saying. ....okay? Sure. You said it would have a probability of 20 million, but honestly, how is it so easy to collect that much probability? Even if you add up all the probabilities earned so far, it is a huge figure that is far short of it. It was a target that I didn''t know when it would be and probably had little chance of realizing it, so Jaeyoung didn''t think about it and just threw it out. Of course, Tan, who was desperate to restore the Deathbringer, didn''t seem to be able to look at it soberly. Thats why I like Dex. ....what? Looking back at Jaeyoung, who seemed to ask what he was talking about, L smiled wide and said that he was really happy. Because I don''t think I''ve ever seen someone so pitifully fuck that damn bat like this in my entire life. ..... Jae-young catches even the demon king. His actions were obviously vicious, but somehow he didn''t hate them. Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Kill the Dragon (7) Greet, the owner of the store run by the Midas Merchant. First of all, if it''s money, he rushes at anything and tries to catch customers somehow. Although people around him pointed at him as a vile merchant and cursed at him, Grit did not bat an eye. joy! The guy who sold without knowing the market price is an asshole. Did someone forcefully rob it? He usually has a very bad mindset that the victim is the problem rather than the cheater. Although he was a notorious merchant who ate all sorts of swear words, he nevertheless had a pretty decent eye in his own way, and he was able to rise to a fairly high position in the upper Midas. It happened very rarely, but because Grit proved his ability by purchasing very expensive items at ridiculously low prices, the upper ranks of Midas also trusted him. And he did not betray the trust of Midas. Hey... you''ve had a really big ident. A secret space in a dark secret room. Looking down at the ck shard that exudes pitch-dark aura from within, Goldberg, the owner of Midas and the real power of the city, murmured with a face that could not hide his surprise. Quack. no. I was lucky too. Perhaps the fact that even the owner of the store, who would normally never see his face, was acknowledging the deal he had made with a shocked face, Grit made a fuss with his mouth wide open, unable to hide his smile. Isnt that old man who seems ignorant of the world not knowing the value of this thing at first sight? I closed my eyes and called for 5 gold when I was asked to hit the price of scrap metal properly, and epting it again willingly... It was a moment when my hands were really sweaty, wondering if I had noticed something suspicious. Greet is unraveling the elongation with a proud face. However, Goldberg didn''t pretend to hear the words in one ear and looked at the old man carefully examining the item with a serious face next to him and asked. What do you think? Did you find out anything? An old man with a reputation as a prominent archaeologist and relic appraiser in Arcadia''s Third Continent. But he groaned in a trembling voice, unable to hide his astonished expression. I can''t believe it... that relics like this exist in this world. No matter how you look at it, he is trembling all over as if he can''t believe that he exists in reality. Full of wrinkles, he shuddered at an intense sensation he had never felt before, even though he had been involved in archeology all his life and had been appraising numerous artifacts. Answer me. Can you figure out the origin of this object? Goldberg urged, as if he was frustrated by the old man''s actions, who, after examining the artifacts for a long time, could not exin properly, muttering to himself with a shocked face. Then he looked at the pieces with perplexed eyes, thought about something, and then shook his head and opened his mouth. I''m sorry... but with all my knowledge, I can''t figure out where this artifact came from. I don''t know if you know where the ruins were originally discovered, but... With this alone, it''s impossible with my own abilities. Is that so... Goldberg muttered with a disappointed look in his eyes. But the old man said with his eyes shining as if that wasn''t all. But there are still a few things that can be confirmed. Things that can be confirmed...? An old man who makes the original shape by attaching the pieces to each other in response to the question of what it is. He then pointed to the letters engraved on the de and said. Here is this part. I don''t know exactly what it means, but I''ve seen letters simr to this in the past. Unfamiliar characters that cannot be found even in dozens ofnguages of ancient kingdoms and various heterogeneous tribes that have already disappeared into the dark side of history. However, when the old man said he had seen the letters, Goldberg asked with his eyes wide open. Do you know whatnguage is inscribed here? That''s right. I have also found it in ancient ruins that I have explored myself before. The old man started talking with a reminiscent look as if he was recalling the past. Goldberg, who had been silently listening to the secret facts that began toe out of his mouth, looked at the old man and asked after a long time after his story. So... you mean that these letters written here are thenguage of the demons who tried topletely devour the continent of Arcadia in the past... and this sword is a relic they used? Holy War. The fierce and brutal war between the heavens and the demons. Among the lifeforms of Arcadia, which were almost annihted among the transcendent beings, no one remained who remembered the events of that time, but he was nheless convinced that the great mythical event had existed. It''s not a definitive record, but... Judging from the records I''ve obtained from some different races in the past and the ancient ruins of demons and angels found all over the continent, it''s clear that this too was a relic used at that time. . He speaks strongly in a tone as if he is sure of that. At the old man''s words, Goldberg nodded with a troubled face and said, I guess that''s enough. You may go back now. He nodded his head as if he had heard all the necessary information and issued a congrattory order. At Goldberg''s words, the old man put on a slightly uneasy expression and mumbled as if he was trying to say something. Um... may I ask what you n to do with this artifact? ...Why are you asking that? Goldberg responds aggressively with a sharp tone. The old man flinched at his spirit and waved his hand as if he had no particr meaning. Rice doesnt mean anything. It''s just that I''ve never seen anything that exudes such strong energy like this relic before... Relics of demons and angels whose power has been lost over the course of time that I dare not even dare to count, leaving only faint traces. However, this artifact that was ced in front of the old man was different. Whoops. A sword that has been shattered into dozens of fragments without even remaining intact. However, the old man felt an indescribable sense of fear and anxiety when he saw that the presence was intensely exuding more intense energy than anything else. But as if he didn''t care about that, Goldberg just looked at him with a stern expression and growled. Just in case... you know where to go and talk about what youve seen and heard here, or you know what you shouldnt do? Thats right. Then get out of here. Dont even dare to say something to my upper rank without understanding the subject. The old man runs away as if he were running away, unable to find even his own money and receiving only the reward he had promised. After he disappeared, Goldberg asked, looking at Griet, who stood there with a nervous expression on his face. you. yes! Greet is very nervous that sparks might fly at him. Staring at him with intense eyes, Goldberg asked, The person who sold this artifact was the first old man you saw? Thats right. The branch you were managing... was, after all, Ben. Third Continent of Arcadia. Among them, Ban is a majormercial city located in the center of the continent where products and people from all over the continent gather. Adventurers roaming around this ce also boasted a great number, so Goldberg did not reprimand him for not identifying the old man who brought the artifact. Im really sorry. At least if I knew where this thing came from, I would have been able to figure out its value a little more urately. A murmur of sincere regret, without any emotion. However, Grit, who had clearly heard this, cried out with his head bowed while lying on his face with a white face. Sorry. I hadn''t even thought of that part. ..... But despite his apology, Goldberg didn''t even respond. All I can think about is how to dispose of this artifact in my head. It must be difficult to sell in a normal way.'' The Midas Merchant knocks on the doors of wealthy nobles or vain royal families first when selling precious items or valuables. However, no matter how vain nobles were, they weren''t crazy enough to buy metal fragments that werepletely broken and lost their function as swords at high prices, so Goldberg changed the subject of the sale. you. yes! Griet hurriedly raises his head to answer Goldberg''s voice calling him. Goldberg looked down at him with emotionless eyes andmanded him as a top lord. Take this artifact back to Van. And disy this artifact in the most visible ce in the store, and spread the word to as many merchants and people as possible. What rumors are you talking about...? Greet asked back with stupid eyes as if he didn''t know. Seeing him like that, Goldberg said with a meaningful smile. This mysterious ancient artifact will be auctioned in a month and sold to the highest bidder. * * * Ven, where the Merchant Shop is located at the Midas Merchant, where Greet is in charge. This was a very special ce even on the third continent of Arcadia. [How about creating a ce where you can trade freely without any restrictions or restrictions?] [ I hope there is a neutral zone where you can talkfortably even in the event of a war.] Dozens of kingdoms and many mighty empires have their own needs. An agreement signed in unison. And Ban, which was born from such an agreement, was a permanent neutral city-state that did not belong to any ce where people of any nationality could freelye and go and trade. Therefore,merce had no choice but to develop naturally. Because of its geographical advantage of being located in the center of the continent, it was no exaggeration to say that it was the most prosperous and developed city where all the products and gold of the third continent were concentrated. Hey, go to Ban unconditionally. Everything is there when you go there. When you first start the game, settle in Ban. Its easy to find party members to hunt with, and there are so many quests that it grows quickly. So, among the users who naturally enjoy Arcadia, more and more people began to use this base as their base. A situation where most of the Japanese users are concentrated to the extent that it reaches saturation and causes various problems. And strange stories began to spread among them. Hey, have you been to Midas Upper? They were selling strange things there. Strange stuff? what is that? I don''t know. They are fragments of a smashed sword, but the item performance is all full of question marks. A product that has not even been appraised. That''s why everyone who heard the words snorted and sneered. okay? Arent you just selling trash? Street vendors who sold items with garbage-like performance at high prices, saying they were unidentified items. They tried to curse the Merchant Midas, who used the same technique as them, but to do so, the brilliantly shining artifact''s description window sealed their mouths. Chapter 164 Chapter 164 Kill the Dragon (8) A mythical item that suddenly appeared in Ben one day. Without any information, just full of question marks, the shop at the top of Midas, where the pieces of the broken sword were ced, was literally crowded with users. hey. Don''t push. Wow... is that a mythical item that weve only heard about? But why are you so smashed up? I dont know. But when you look at its appearance, it looks like a really unusual sword... The sword was divided into dozens of pieces. Fortunately, there was no big problem in recognizing the original shape because all the pieces were intact. And thanks to the unique appearance that looked like a mythical item, it was impossible to confirm any information, but the number of people salivating while looking at the sword pieces with greedy eyes continued to increase. If that weapon could be restored, it would be incredibly strong, right? I dont know exactly, but maybe there is a hidden quest rted to that damaged sword? For now, secure all avable funds. Even if it''s a fairly high price, if you can get your hands on it, you can sell it for twice as much. In order to upgrade the specs to equipment with better performance, for a special quest rted to this equipment, to buy it once and sell it at a higher price to make a big profit. Everyone had slightly different reasons, but everyone was united in one mind and fiercely collecting gold to obtain this mythical item that was first revealed. Even while exorbitantly skyrocketing the market price of existing gold. [Next news. The price of Gold'', a virtual currency used in the virtual reality game Arcadia, has risen by 50% in 3 days, giving a great shock. Experts specte that the reason for the current price increase is the involvement of big yers who are raising money to buy myth-grade items recently discovered on the continent where Japanese people y. To this.....] What? Why is it so expensive? 15,000 yen for 1 gold? Is this real? In an instant, the value of the gold he had was blown up by 50%. The Japanese users, who turned their eyes to such a situation, staged a rare scene in which both you and I exchanged the gold we had for cash. And at the same time, calctors began to tap one by one in people''s heads. By the way, if 1 gold is about 15,000 yen... this is more money than I thought? Arcadia has a structure where you can earn as much gold as the game fee even if you enjoy it casually. Therefore, even though this game is paid for hundreds of thousands of won, it was able to secure arge number of users regardless of age because it was able to earn enough extra ie to be free even if it was free. However, in an instant, the price of gold rose by more than half. Therefore, the gold they earn while enjoying the game goes beyond simply making up for the game fee and begins to exceed the sry earned by ordinary office workers. In a news article the other day, when Dark Gamers worked hard for a month, the average ie they earned was 27 gold... So, how much is this? 378,000 yen. what....? Is that a lot? A monthly sry that can only be received by an assistant manager at argepany. In addition, people thought that it was a real ie that was not yet taxed by the state. He said that in real life, he would be much happier having fun and making money in Arcadia than making money by bending over and receiving all kinds of truth from customers who came to the store. I will hand in my resignation as of today. What? suddenly? sorry. I will only work until today. What if I stop like this? Just a little bit of work until you find a substitute... I came to apply for a leave of absence. In this way, a strange phenomenon began to appear in Japanese society, in which one day, people who suddenly resigned and quit their jobs, and those who took a leave of absence and disappeared inrge numbers appeared one after another. In the first case where virtualbor transcends the value of realbor. * * * While users were fiercelypeting to secure gold to secure mythical items that were revealed for the first time in the Japanese continent, a strange current began to circte within Arcadia as well. Hey, did you hear that rumor? What rumors? I heard something interesting came into the free city of Ban? Fun stuff? what is that? Merchants wandering all over the continent. Rumors that began to spread from the bars, inns and restaurants they frequented soon spread throughout the continent. Its an extremely rare item. Its source and identity have not been revealed, but it is said to be a broken sword that exudes a mysterious yet dangerous charm that makes you lose your mind just by looking at it. A broken sword...? Wasnt it something that was fine? Broken things with nowhere to use. However, the fact that adventurers were gathering gold with their eyes wide open in order to take possession of such things, made those drinking and talking bewildered. It... I heard that it might be an ancient artifact from a very long time ago. Antiquities....? Unidentified artifacts that appear on the continent of Arcadia very asionally. These ancient relics boasted tremendous power even though they had endured countless storms of time and shook the entire continent. That''s why, at his words, they nodded their heads as if they could understand the actions of the adventurers that they couldn''t understand. If it''s really an ancient artifact... I don''t think thepetition will end to the level of adventurers, right? Thats natural. It is said that the Shoen Empire directly dispatched the Archmage and Chief Appraiser to verify the truth of the rumor. A merchant who smiles as if he is having fun just thinking about it. His eyes were shining brightly as if he was enjoying this exciting situation. If it is confirmed that the item is an ancient artifact, all countries on all continents will probably rush to it. Users who mobilized all the avable cash to collect gold did not know, but the influence and value of mythical items in Arcadia was higher than imagined. No matter how astronomical the funds are, it is a strategic weapon ss item that must be secured in order not to be stolen by other countries unconditionally. Even if the detailed performance and effect were not known, even if it was damaged and lost most of its power, once the relic was revealed, a fierce scramble was fought, even willing to go to war. When you think of that... the Midas Merchant used their brains well. A ban will sell it at an auction in a month? yes. It seems like they secretly sold it to a certain country and then sold it fairly, fearing that it would be unluckily caught and blooded in another country... but looking at the current situation, it is the most expensive way to sell it. Midas Merchant, which is not based in a single country, but has branches all over the continent. That''s why it couldn''t be the best survival strategy for them, who had grown up walking a tightrope amidstplex intertwined interests. It''s a jackpot..... How much will I be able to win the bid for? I know? I don''t know, but... It''s probably an amount beyond our imagination. Im sorry... Im envious. Where can I get something like that from the guild where I am? Quack. At the top with a lot of snot like you guys? I also dream big. Damn it. So, how big of a guild do you work for? Hahaha. That''s right. Arent you and I small merchants who live long and thin lives? Merchants exchanging drinks with a big smile. While they were chatting and drinking, a man who had been sitting quietly in the corner of the bar muttered something with a face contemting something. It''s an ancient relic... Red hair like a zing red me. A man with a face that fits the word extremely beautiful that no one dares to deny in an atmosphere that exudes nobility just by looking at it, said in a cool voice with bright red eyes. I thought I''d recovered all thest ones, but I guess there were still some left. An ancient war that took ce in Arcadia long ago, the Holy Demon War. Few people remember this perfectly, but there was one race that remembered all of the history of that time. A dragon n that went out to protect the continent of Arcadia in the fierce battle between angels and demons. Even though it looked like a shrimp''s back bursting in a whale fight, they somehow went out to prevent the lives of thisnd from being exterminated. Do you know how much our people bleed and suffered because of those damn chickens and bats? Our mission is to protect Arcadia. In other words, we have to thoroughly prevent those damned celestial and demonic bastards from ever attaching their feet here again. From the dragon''s point of view, angels and demons are like cockroaches who sneak in, looking for opportunities to escape from their territory and make Arcadia their territory. That''s why they destroyed or robbed the remnants of the past Holy Magic War as soon as they were found, and put them in their rares and never went out to the world. Because of that, mythical items have be something that can not be found with both eyes open on any continent, and as a result, human nations that did not give up and could not resist because the mythical items were a waste disappeared into the back of history. I''ll have to check if the rumors are true... A red dragon, Kerbenian, who wandered around enjoying the world in human form. Although he was ying, he couldn''t abandon his mission as a dragon, so he put a gold coin on the table and stood up. And casually drinking and passing between the noisy people, I opened the wooden door of the old bar and went out. Teleport. and that moment. The red-haired handsome man in the ssy attire had disappeared. As if it never existed in the first ce. Only a cold wind lingered in the deste clearing. * * * Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. A broken Deathbringer. Divided into dozens of fragments and smashed to an unusable level, the magic of the Pandemonium that cannot be given up. That''s why Tan didn''t fall apart for a single moment and was closely watching next to the Deathbringer. wow! It looks really unusual. How expensive is this? Will it be really expensive? Humans who look at the Deathbringer with greedy eyes, putting their faces in the ss-covered disy stand every time. Tan muttered with a distorted face whenever he saw them like that. These damn human bastards. You dont even know the subject, how dare you look at other peoples things! You can''t hear it, but as if you have to say what you want to say, Tan shouts loudly and flutters his tiny wings. He clicked his tongue as if he didn''t like it as he saw only small people flocking to him. Sheesh. Will those ass-heavy dragons get here this way? If you just burn the entire continent with the son of Carlos, I think they will crawl out on their own. Tanes up with a terrifying idea to burn the entire continent to bring out the dragon. If El had heard it, it wouldn''t have been strange to fly right away and throw a drop kick of justice. Look at it, really. I remember all the human bastards who drool when I came here, so if I open the gate and invadeter, I will kill them first. Tan dreams of the moment when he will one day invade Arcadia, sharpening his de of revenge. However, his eyes widened when he saw red eyes that suddenly appeared and stared down at the sword. uh? What is that bastard...? When Tan is surprised to see the red-haired man. The man too was horrified as he looked at the shattered sword. This cant be... this cant be... Deathbringer...? Kervenian, a supreme dragon n who knows everything about what happened in the Great War of the Holy Demons in the past. He froze after recognizing at a nce the deathbringer, the god of the demon world, which he had only seen through records. Not realizing that right in front of him, the head of the bats, who hate him with gnashing teeth, was staring at him. Chapter 165 Chapter 165 Kill the Dragon (9) A lizard with a heavy ass appears. Even though he was transformed into a human, Tan could clearly see through his identity. Other humans didn''t seem to be aware of it, but the strong scent of magic umted in his heart tickled Tan''s nose. There are children of lizards who really hate me... Tan muttered with a face that said, No, this is what happens? However, perhaps not noticing his existence, Cervenian was muttering to himself while looking down at the broken sword with a slightly serious look. Why is the divine sword of the demon realm disyed in such a pitiful shop...? Even in a state ofplete fragmentation. Although I have never seen it myself, I have heard of its name and appearance thousands of times. That''s why he was able to recognize its identity as soon as he saw it, but he squinted at the sword in such a miserable state with an iprehensible face. The remaining power is too weak... At this level, it haspletely disappeared to the extent that it can be said that only traces remain. Deathbringer, the magic sword that corrupts everything. However, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face when he confirmed that he had little strength left to exert that absolute and powerful power. What the hell just happened...? It wouldn''t be such a small thing that the divine power of the limit waspletely destroyed... A weapon that symbolizes the Demon Realm and a valuable item cherished by the Demon King, the ruler of the Demon Realm. I don''t know what the reason was, but at this level, it wouldn''t be strange even if the mad king foamed at the mouth and opened the gate tounch arge-scale invasion of the entire continent. But even in such a serious situation, the continent is so calm. Everything was peaceful and there were no major problems for him to worry about. Except for the recentrge-scale conflict between humans. So, after pondering something in his head for a while, he immediately thought. Should I report it...?'' The divine Deathbringer, called the symbol of the Pandemonium. Since it was a mythological object that waspletely different from other ancient artifacts, the greed in his heart began to rise. Whether to gulp this thing by himself or to report it to the rod and get it by moving at the level of the tribe. If it''s something like this... it''s perfect for the demon collection I''ve been collecting, but...'' However, a hatchling that was just born from an egg or a dragon Kervenian that has already spent all of its fast-moving childhood. If he had been a thousand years younger, he wouldn''t have worried about this. I don''t know why... but it''s a thing that has lost most of its power anyway, and those bastard bats don''t show any special trends...'' Still, if they eat it, they won''t burst to death. Cervenian exuded a lot of air and meticulously measured its angle. And as soon as he realized that he would not get sick if he ate it, he made up his mind. He said that he would secretly gulp the broken magic of the demon realm. The auction will be held in the next three weeks... A notice stating that the item will be sold to the person who openly bids the highest amount. A strange smile appeared on Kervenian''s face after reading it. It should be simple. Among the numerouspetitions that exist in the world, Kervenian was most confident in thepetition for money. A huge amount of gold coins extracted from gold mines hidden all over the continent by extorting the dwarves piled up in hisir. Periodically destroying human empires and kingdoms, rare weapons and jewels that have been robbed. And beautiful artwork. In addition, rare materials received from all kinds of races, and powerful magic weapons that he made for leisure. On top of that, from time to time, he seriously researched magic and wrote numerous magic books. His treasure house was full of things of such great value that the entire continent could be turned upside down if only a few were released. Of course, even if it was just gold coins, if released on the continent, it had an amount beyond imagination to cause hyperintion, even temporarily. he was not confident He was the one who would lose the moneypetition with humans and be robbed of this item. That''s why Cervenian withdrew for now. In order to prevent unnecessary suspicion and fuss in the most legitimate and legal way and to gulp this stuff as quietly as possible. Without even noticing the death trap that was slowlyying in front of him. * * * After the red dragon Kervenian disappeared. Tan immediately moved through space and flew in front of Jaeyoung at once. master! It''s up! It really floated! What was he doing? Jaeyoung was drawing something with a tree branch in a quiet empty lot. He was not greatly agitated by Tan''s fuss, and just said calmly. I know....? Just in case, did you bite the bait? Originally, a dragon that you would never meet in your entire life. In particr, the case of wandering while enjoying y in a human state was also close to impossible to find by normal methods, so Tan was enthusiastic about the red dragon that walked out on its own. what? What is your reaction? However, unlike him, Jaeyoung and L are infinitely calm. Seeing the two of them like that, Tan asked with a puzzled expression on his face. Um... that''s because there''s a problem. I am thinking about what to do. problem? What''s the problem? The dragon head-picking operation was nned with spontaneous ideas. However, in the process of making a detailed n, Jae-young discovered a big problem that he had not been able to figure out until now. It seems that it will not be easy for any dragon to survive with a bamboo spear. That''s because the absolute powerful authority is contained in it. yes? A dragon that fulfills the mission of protecting Arcadia. That''s why, endowed with a mighty body, overflowing vitality, infinite mana and transcendental intelligence, they are a race that cannot be killed by nature. However, the bamboo spear is so powerful that even the Dragon Lord Goldrian, the head of such a powerful race, cannot avoid it. That''s why L didn''t think that Jaeyoung''s n was so absurd. However, the problem is how to hold on without dying until that one shot is sessful. First of all, the most important thing is that you must not use that bamboo spear until it returns to its original form. Eh? why? Jae-young, who was in human form, even thought of a n to secretly stab a bamboo spear from behind. However, when El told me not to do that, I asked with a puzzled face. A human heart and a dragon heart are the same? If you kill them in human form, their mighty magical power and vitality will dissipate as soon as you lose control. Then you will only get a human heart with a little more mana. L said that he had to stab a bamboo spear while manifesting in the form of his main body. At her words, Jaeyoung scratched his head with a slightly troubled face. Hmm... this is a bit difficult. A match with a dragon. Although in a human state, a lot of power is limited, but it was never at the level that no one, including Jae-young, could deal with alone, so it was almost impossible to push him to the limit. Lets say I made it into the state of my body somehow. There is another important problem there. okay? What''s wrong...? What is it? It''s magic. When Jaeyoung asked L, who seemed to be contemting something with a serious expression on his face, Tan interrupted. Ive said it before, but throwing out the role y that the lizard in the middle of the game was absorbed in and going back to its original form is either mad at the level of killing you, or do you really think Im going to die? I say that I feel a sense of crisis to the extent that I do. ....so? As I said before, if you cast circle 9 magic with sincerity, the answer will disappear. 9 circle magic. The highest level of magic that exists in Arcadia, and an authority that was only allowed to dragons. It was not yet clear whether the users could reach it, but the 9th circle magics I heard from El and Tan were only ones that were so savage and boasted tremendous destructive power that the words This is a piece of shit!'' came out. Either devastating the continent with Meteor Swarm, freezing everything with Ice Age, or just sinking the entire continent with Earths Punishment. What... is it just the owner and if he goes crazy and destroys everything while no one can fix it, isn''t it because there''s no answer? No, you damn bat. Shut up and listen. L cut off his words and red at Tan, who was in vain, with an annoyed look, then looked at Jaeyoung with a serious face and said, From my point of view... maybe that worst situation wont happen. For once, the dragon who has to protect this ce will not be able to abandon its mission and use ultimate magic thatpletely betrays its original purpose. Arcadia was not attacked by invaders from the other world like in the previous Holy Demon War, and the possibility of doing something crazy that produced countless innocent victims was not very high, so El did not worry much about the problem. But... maybe if you use circle 9 magic, youll use magic limited to Dex-sama. me? Transcendent intelligence and mental strength. And the Bur, endowed with endless magical power. They possessed a special magic that gave creatures inferior to them a sense of fear and helplessness arising from their instincts just by exuding their presence. Power Word Kill. It''s a spell that can absolutely kill one creature you want. Even if other things cannot be used because of the coteral damage caused by its powerful destructive power, this magic is an exception. A magic that can unconditionally kill a target weaker than oneself with just the manifestation of magic. It was a fraudulent magic that did not even consider the game bnce to the point where I nodded my head why it was ssified as the 9th circle. And L looked at Jaeyoung and said with a slightly embarrassed face. I dont know about the other things... but as a human being, if that death order is dered, maybe even Dex-sama wont be safe. And if he dies... The red dragon Kervenian, who will leisurely hide somewhere with the Deathbringer. In that case, finding him again would be a long way off, so if he failed, the risk would be too great to handle. what? So, isn''t this a big deal? If my new sword is stolen by that bastard lizard, I might not be able to find it. Fragments of the Deathbringer whose power is so weak that you can''t even feel their presence if you''re far away. Tan was clearly perplexed, knowing that things would getplicated if the sword went into the dragon''sir, which had a strong protective magic on it. Hey, master. Does this sound too risky? Why dont you just soften up now? The dragon''s heart is also important, but the crushed Deathbringer is more precious than that. However, despite his words, Jaeyoung pondered something and then asked. Are you sure it only applies to those magical creatures? yes....? What do you mean by that..... L answers while looking at Jaeyoung, who asks an obvious question, with a puzzled look. Jaeyoung smiled at her answer. Then that is the matter. There seems to be a way to respond. yes....? What the hell is that? Jaeyoung is looking at something with a mysterious smile. Tan and L didn''t know it, but an information window was shining in front of them. [Kangsin Tin Battle Doll Orca.] Chapter 166 Chapter 166 Kill the Dragon (10) After the Midas Merchant Company revealed the item. Until the auction started, Jaeyoung lived an ordinary life and was faithful to her role. Ill do just that much for today. Yes. Is that so? yes. The basic map implementation seems to have been perfectly adjusted at this level, and the character implementation is about 40% progressed, so I think we can proceed without a hitch until the nned date. Yeah! Then let''s do it. Jae-young goes to work at the headquarters of Arcadia Co., Ltd. every day without going to school. As promised before, regardless of grades and attendance, I was having an interesting time helping with the secret project being promoted by thepany. This is much more fun than the ss.'' Bringing your favorite game back into virtual reality. In a way, he was an expert who mastered the game system and each element more than a developer, so Jae-young was immersed in realizing a world by using his knowledge to the fullest. And Jaeyoung''s enthusiastic participation showed a miraculous phenomenon in which the progress of the project changes day by day. what? Have you alreadypletely finished the map implementation? No, how long have you been participating in the project, finish it all. What what...? Character development has already begun? Almost half? The absurd speed and amount of work to the extent that exmations almoste out of amazement. Of course, it is said that there is a monster-like genius who can embody everything with tremendous imagination, but it was purely thanks to Jae-young that he pulled out his ability to the fullest and showed extreme efficiency. Wow.....the real monsters are monsters. Are all Seomin University students like that? Can that be? It''s just that they''re both geniuses. Employees who look at the enormous amount of work these two perform every day like a monster. They sighed in relief at the fact that these two were still students, not full-time employees. And he sighed over his fate, which would be franticallypared to the performance of the two in the future and tightened. Ah..... If the manager sees this, he will say with what conscience do we get paid? Looking at the work you did today... I cant help but say that? Then you...? ...Fuck. Works that have barely been created by bringing out the maximum of one''s imagination. However, since the difference between quality and quantity itself was so great that they could not dare topare, they had no choice but to bow their heads in a strange feeling of jealousy and despair rising in their hearts. Ah, did you hear that rumor? rumor? What else happened? ah. It''s not our problem, it''s a mythical item that was released in the Japanese continent. A mythical level...? Did something like thate out? The staff whose eyes widen at those words. But his colleague shrugged and shook his head. I dont know the details either. However, ording to the story, the source is unknown, and it was said that it was an item that suddenly popped up one day and was put up for auction. Thats why the gold price skyrocketed as users went crazy, saying that this was the rice cake for the new main scenario. Oh, was that because of that? ...If you are an employee of ourpany, shouldn''t you be aware of the incidents and idents that happen inside Arcadia? No, you know you have to have time to y. When I go home after working overtime to meet, I stretch out right away and just sleep, so how do you pay attention to all of that? An employee who protests with a face that is unfair to a colleague''s words. However, his co-worker whispered in a low voice, his eyes shining as if he hadn''t finished talking yet. That''s not important, and as far as I''ve found out, the item has absolutely nothing to do with the main scenario of the Japanese branch. what....? The staff member asked in a loud voice without even realizing it. However, the other employees didn''t seem to hear their voices as they were each doing their own thing, as if they were busy checking each and every thing the monster duo had worked on. I heard from a colleague in the crisis management and response team upstairs... that Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon had a really good fight with Kazuki, the Japanese branch manager. You said you fought hard? why? The two general managers of the Korean branch and the Japanese branch. As he looked puzzled at the news that those who should have kept their face and dignity had raised their voices and fought, his colleague showed him something. If that mythical item that suddenly appeared in the Japanese continent was not intentional or intervened by the Japanese branch, where did ite from? It''s a very hot topic in Arpendia right now, but I''m assuming that we got into a fight while checking the facts about this. What? What is it? Unable to hold back his curiosity, he snatched a colleague''s cell phone. And he looked at the two photos and muttered with a puzzled face. What is this? Two pictures posted on Arpendia. It was none other than a picture of a sword disyed at the top of Midas and a picture edited from a video from a channel. how is it? Arent they simr? ...It''s not the same level, it''s just the same sword...? It''s divided into pieces, but when you put them together, the sword looks exactly the same. However, the problem is that the ce where the intact sword appeared is in the video released in the Korean continent, which heated up Arpandia. It is not an exaggeration to say that it overturned all previously prepared scenarios and triggered apletely new second main scenario. Wait a minute... then this cant be...? He asks with a questioning expression. The worst assumption imaginable shed through his mind. If the item being sold in maind Japan is the same as the sword held by the devil in the Choco Paijoa video... All employees of Arcadia Korea branch have said this at least once. A symbol of honed hatred. A channel specializing in home destruction, which is one of the causes of the decline in the national fertility rate by forcing employees to work overtime when the videoes up, jeopardizing both the love and marriage fronts. Destroyer''s routine. The mysterious battle video between the devil and the angel, whose context is still unknown. The incident that even the management team, the crisis management response team, and even the executive director Kwon Myeong-han werepletely unaware of. However, the sword that appeared in the mysterious video reappeared. Suddenly, without any notice, across the distant sea, from the Japanese continent. And you know what? Choco Piezoa and Dex, who moved to the Japanese maind this time, are friendly with each other. The way I see it, it looks like the two of them are plotting something. Dex revealed that he had a personal rtionship with Choco Piejoa. Looking at the videos uploaded on the same channel, I could tell that they were quite close. And when youbine the various circumstances that are now open on the Inte, the fact that these two are plotting something in maind Japan seems clear. -But was that sword a mythical item? No, what the hell was it originally...? -But why did you take that to the Japanese continent? Did you sell it to the merchant for money? -This is a leak of cultural assets... No, isn''t it a leak of a mythical item? Korean users were puzzled by the fact that they went to the Japanese continent and disposed of the item, not the continent they were ying on. However, among these negativements, those who began to reveal their true colors. The ubiquitous and nowhere existence is a quantum mechanical group like Schr?dinger''s cat, Deck Fanmoo. Their writings began to flood all over Arpandia. -This is the main scenario! That''s definitely the main scenario! -Looking at this as Kingly''s heart, Choco Pie and Dex go over to the Japanese continent and do anything. -Deck fan dance!!! Deck Fan Mu!!! Deck Fan Mu!!! Deck fan!!!! -No, it''s not a deck fan dance, it''s a deck fan sword. Let''s write the name properly. -ck ck ck ck ck ck!!! The bulletin board quickly became dirty. Negative writings were soon buried and disappeared in the messy and ugly writings full of desire. The auction day is approaching moment by moment in a situation where no information has been disclosed. The Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who was watching it, was nervously convulsing and asked the Korean branch to give out all the information it knew, which was the current situation. I dont know exactly what it is... but for some reason this smells very suspicious...? He listened to his colleague silently and put together several puzzle pieces. And he frowned at the intense smell that came instinctively. yes? I don''t know, but if it involves a mythical item, it probably won''t end easily. ...Please dont let us be Xs. I see... The two employees mumbled their heartfelt desire that they did not want to work overtime like that. But these two werepletely oblivious. Two college students exchanging strange nces while quietly listening to their conversation. * * * Hey Jaeyoung. why? On the subway back home after leaving thepany, Jae-kyun nces at him. As if he had something to say, Jaekyun mumbled for a while before asking with a serious face. You know the quest you talked aboutst time. Do you have anything to do with what is happening in maind Japan right now? Picking Dragon Heads. The real reason he went to the Japanese continent he heard directly from Jaeyoung. After that, he didn''t tell me the details, but even then, Jae-gyun was able to find out various information through the Inte. A mysterious mythical item that suddenly appeared in the Japanese continent. And a fairly credible analysis of the item, plus a personal story from two design team members today. Jae-gyun, who had put it all together, was convinced. That all of this chaotic thing that is happening on the Inte right now is the result of a single person sitting right next to him with a calm face. And Jaeyoung was silent for a while in response to Jaegyun''s question with a rather serious face, and then spoke in a quiet voice. that''s right. You... what the hell are you trying to do in the game? A transcendental dragon set up as a guardian of Arcadia, not a being created to be caught in the first ce. Jaeyoung, who was about to do such a ridiculous thing, looked at him with eyes that Jaekyun couldn''t understand and asked. No, more than that, what the hell is your job? The other day, he was definitely a crusader with a hammer, but what was the magic he showed on the Japanese continent... No matter how much I think about it, there are a lot of things I can''t understand. Until now, Jae-gyun had wanted to ask, but he suppressed his curiosity and endured it. However, the questions that started pouring once to see if the limit had been reached began to burst out without a break. ..... Jaeyoung, who was silently listening to the questions. After silently listening to Jaekyun''s self-talking questions for a while, he pondered something in his head and then asked in reverse. Jaekyun. why? Do you know what the butterfly effect is? ...What are you talking about all of a sudden? Jae-gyun looks at Jae-young, who is answering the question of alumni, with a strange look. However, Jaeyoung''s face as he asked the question was smiling deeper than ever, and seemed full of wickedness. The theory that things that were thought to be trivial create other things one after another and eventually grow out of control into a huge incident. At first, Iughed at how the pping of a butterfly''s wings can be a storm, but now I think I understand why. Picking the dragon''s head. Obviously, it was something that an ordinary criminal could not even dare to imagine, but if you think about everything he has passed through, the story that is being written nowes from something so trivial. Who would have thought that destroying a historical site with a pickaxe would grow into picking a dragons head like this? Falling for Tan''s twist and destroying one of the celestial channeling bases. Recalling that this was the starting point of all these incidents, Jaeyoung muttered in a self-deprecating voice as if he was dumbfounded. what....? Jaekyun makes an absurd expression as if he can''t understand. But Jaeyoung whispered to him. And the surprising thing is, Jaekyun. As for picking the dragon''s head..... Jaeyoung''s voice spoke with sparkling eyes. In that voice, Jaekyun felt an inexplicable ominous feeling. It''s just the beginning of what''s toe. Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Kill the Dragon (11) After a month has passed, the promised auction day of the Midas Merchant Merchant. Ben''s huge central square, which could amodate thousands of people, was overcrowded with huge crowds. Awesome. I expected it to be a hit, but I didn''t expect it to be this much. Goldberg, the owner of the Midas Merchant Merchant, came directly from the head office to the Ben branch to observe the auction. He murmured in amazement as he looked down at the roads full of people struggling to get a glimpse of this incredible spectacle from outside the controlled auction area. Quack. Awesome! Awesome! Goldberg-samas insight seems to have hit the mark. Ban is apletely free economic city created by all countries. A neutral city-state in which no particr force dominates the city and maintains a precarious bnce amid fierce checks andpetition. As a result of revealing this ancient relic here, there were many people who pressured the Midas Merchant Under the Water, but no ce showed any open movement to rob the relic. I guess so. It''s nothing else, since it''s an ancient relic, if you try to steal it, other countries will be willing to wage a coalition war, no matter how imperial the opponent is. asionally, depending on the situation, there were cases where people ignored the agreement and did whatever they wanted, but this auction was different. Even simr rivals and even ridiculously small kingdoms were aiming for this thing with their eyes turned upside down, so the risk was too great to engage in behind-the-scenes work. You''d better be prepared to lose your head, not your hands, the moment you touch the relic without permission. Lets bring it to the auction fairly. Go to Ban right away and keep an eye on it. Are there any countries that do nonsense and do nonsensical things? We have been granted unlimited funding. No one can beat the wealth of the empire, so make sure to protect the honor of His Majesty and secure the ancient artifact. Envoys from each kingdom and empire flocked to Ben with such a determined will. All of them were sitting in their designated seats, fighting fiercely invisible nerves, dressed in luxurious and antique costumes. Wow, it seems there are more NPCs than I thought? No, more than that, all the people over there are high-ranking nobles from the royal pce or empire. I don''t think this is just an ordinary auction? Is it because its a mythical weapon? Are mythological grade items treated as precious even among NPCs? Adventurers who thought ofpetition among themselves. But when they took a closer look at thesepetitors who hade to attend the auction in person, they contorted and cursed. Chick show. Why did the financial manager of the Shoen Empiree here? Uh, that person over there... Count Kybel? Who is that? The chief administrator who is in charge of the finances of the Sekhale Kingdom. Wow... what is this. Why are all the contestants like this? Users who participated in this auction as guild masters who run only one guild or individuals who show off their wealth. However, the faces of those who confirmed the identities of their rivals, the auction participants, one by one for the first time on this day began to look hopeless. What is this? It wasnt apetition between users... it was apetition with NPCs? Individuals or a small group of hundreds of people whopeted fiercely to acquire this mythical weapon. However, as the giant kingdoms and empires in Arcadia directly participated in this auction, the fiercepetition to buy gold that users had been engaged in so far has be too futile. No, how the hell do you beat this? Damn gamers. Did you put this out as an event? There is nopetition at all. Chick show. This is a scam! How much money did you spend to buy gold this time? The price of gold soared by as much as 50%. Even though they knew how divisive this market price was, they couldn''t give up on buying gold. Because of the fear that if this is not an opportunity, I will never be able to obtain this mythical item again, and the expectation that I will be able to gain more than I lost through this item. But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn''t beat those here. It was because the target they had topete with, who were mere adventurers, was the country itself, which had umted a lot of wealth while living on thisnd for tens to hundreds of years. Heh heh heh. It''s been a while, Count Case. It''s been a while, Marquis Maier of the Shouen Empire. How have you been? I am doing well. More than that... This is surprising. Participating in an auction like this in the Faros Empire. I thought I couldn''t afford it because of the recent drought. Apparently the rumors I heard weren''t true. The powerful nations of Arcadia''s Third Continent, the Shen Empire and the Ferros Empire, always roaring andpeting. The Marquis Maiel and Count Keith, who were present as representatives of the two empires, found each other and pretended to give each otherpliments with smiles, but the Marquis Maiel cut them first with an invisible knife. Earl Keith took a surprise blow. However, he did not change hisplexion, and with a smile on his face, he deftly countered him. It is not a rumor. Many of the Empire''s citizens were suffering from starvation because of that drought, but now there is some relief. Oh, I guess I should thank you for that. Thanks to the Shouen Empire''s refusal to sell food at the time of the drought, we were able to dramatically increase our production by developing new farming methods by risking life and death to secure food. Heh heh heh. I hope that''s good news. I won''t be able to see the Faros Empire struggling with food problems from now on. Marquis Maiel, who practices inconsistency by saying congrattions with a very regretful face and giving a good word. Count Keith tried to counterattack again. More than that... I was honestly surprised to see Marquis Maiel. I thought that I had nothing to attend this auction because I heard that the vicious pirates who had recentlye over from that other continent were giving me headaches, but toe so far away... It''s great that you can keep it. Heh heh heh. The two put a lot of thorns in their words and are fiercely engaged in dildo. It was no different from a fight between the two strongest in the Continental Hall, so the aristocrats who were waiting for the auction held their breath and listened to the fight between the two. And Marquis Maiel lost hisposure at the words of Count Keith, who praised hisposure, and said with a blushing face. What did you say now?posure? Are you crazy, Count Case? No, do you have any problems? Marquis Maiel? He asks back with a kind face, as if he couldn''t spit on a smiling face. However, Marquis Maiel spat at his proudly smiling face. The empire is making noise because of those fucking pirates, so how dare you bring up that story? There is a line to be followed to some extent, but what you said just now disrespects not only me, but also the Emperor of the Shouen Empire! The ck Pirates came from far away from an unknown continent. In the battle with them, the Shen Empirepletely lost its naval power and even its proud Poseia. They lost all influence in the northern seas and forcibly took away part of their territory. It was like that at the time..... It was too early to recall with a smile, so the effect of touching the reverse was properly manifested. Do you think you dont know that you guys areughing and cheering behind you! dare! Does something like the Faros Empire underestimate the power of the great Shouen Empire! Something like the Faros Empire...? I''ve said it now, Marquis Maiel! In an instant, the two of them lost control of themselves and began to argue with each other, saying everything they didn''t want to say. As if they had forgotten the dignity of aristocrats, they were fighting with all sorts of vicious threats and vicious words, but no one, including the Midas Merchant Merchant who was in charge of the auction, stopped the two. Because no one wanted to be like a shrimp that got caught between these two huge whales and got its back blown out. But in the middle of that fun fight, a man intervened. Both of you, please stop. Startle. zing red hair. A man with a green appearance who looks only in his 20s now. The two, who attended as representatives of the two great empires, hesitated involuntarily and shut their mouths at the huge intimidation they felt instinctively. Then he asked with an expression of bewilderment at the fact that he had been unknowingly overwhelmed by this young man. Who are you? I am Baron Karben of the Kingdom of Bael. A polite way of speaking and demeanor. But at the same time, at the strangely confident words that felt arrogance, the Marquis Maiel gazed intently into the eyes of the aristocrat named Carben. What is this... the interest is...?'' The endless red eyes. When you are feeling confused and feeling unknown subtle emotions from this strange nobleman you have never seen or heard of before. he continued. At this ce, adventurers, nobles from other kingdoms, and citizens of Ben are all gathered. We rmend that you do not dy the auction with actions that further damage the empire''s honor, and resign for your own purposes. It was said in a roundabout way, but to put it bluntly, it was an admonition with the meaning of Don''t be fooled, shut up and sit down, even though there are many eyes on you.'' It wasn''t wrong, but the pride of the two of them and the fact that the other was a lowly rank like a baron did not allow it to remain silent after hearing that. How dare a baron or something like that rudely interrupt the conversation of the superiors! The Kingdom of Bael? Heh heh..... How could someone from such a small kingdom dare to talk about empires... In the position of baron. And in the status of being a nobleman of the kingdom of Bael, a weak country. These two tried to take down the powerful Imperial Count and Marquess easily, but Carben spoke faster. Two people... His voice came in low. However, from that voice, the two of them felt a huge intimidation they had never felt before and shut their mouths tightly. When you say something nice, sit still and shut up. His eyes seemed to burn bright red. The two of them, who had been protesting and trying to press down just a moment ago, sat still without saying anything, as if they had be obedient children. ..... ...? The onlookers look bewildered at the appearance of these two who have be too docile sheep. In the meantime, Tan and El said with confident faces. Right. That baby lizard for sure. To use the dragon for such trivial things. Apparently, that dragon was also impatient. A special authority and ability that only dragons possess. Watching the tremendous power that can twist all thews and achieve what one wants simply by saying something is being used just to make two proud nobles stop trembling and sit down, Tan said as if it was absurd. Isnt it possible to have strength like that? Is it really unfair to see lizards doing this? It''s just that they''re the official archers of the Arcadia continent. Its because they belong to this continent. Dont you also have absolutemand authority in the Demon Realm? Heng, thats not true. Tan and L chatting while watching the scene. And while the two of them were talking, Karven spoke to the manager of the Midas Merchant who seemed lost in the situation just now. I think the time is up. Shouldnt we start the auction? yes....? ah! yes! At those words, the staff hurriedly prepared something as if they hade back to their senses. And soon, it was announced through one of the top managers who stepped onto the podium. From now on, we will start the Midas Merchants auction for ancient artifacts. The beginning of the Kill the Dragon incident, which will be called a huge disaster in the Japanese continent. Chapter 168 Chapter 168 Kill the Dragon (12) Auction for mythical ancient artifacts. Due to a long tradition, the auction started from 0 gold. Originally, it would be amon situation to raise the price little by little while looking at each other, but since it was something everyone wanted, this auction started to flow in apletely different way. 100 gold. 500 gold. 2000 gold. . . . In just a few bids, the amount went up to hundreds of millions of dors in cash in an instant. The chat windows of users who were watching the scene through real-time streaming began to speed up. - and crazy. Look at the scale of the NPCs. - The price goes up to hundreds of millions of won all at once. - It''s definitely different from other auctions. Aren''t regr users already losing money? -???: Where are you participating in the auction for thousands of gold? Beggar stud. -Hahahahaha Look at the virtual reality version of the gap between the rich and the poor. The aristocrats raised their hands and raised the amount, showing a determined will as if they would not back down even an inch. As the bidding amount began to exceed the amount of gold they owned due to their madness, users with empty faces began to appear one by one. Damn..... is this the situation that makes sense? If I had known this would happen, I would not have bought gold. Shiva, how much money do you spend on games? Ordinary users who lived without worrying about money because they were rich and rich. If it was a normal game, those who poured billions of money into the game would be treated as big yers and treated as VVVIP, but this was different in Arcadia. Hey, can you make it with just a few hundred million? Yes, Chairman. I secured as much gold as possible for that item. From superrge guilds with thousands of guild members to guilds directly operated by real conglomerates. Those who prepared for this auction by mobilizing tens of billions of funds engaged in fiercepetition in earnest when the idle talkers left. 3000 gold! 5000 gold! 8000 gold! Auctions that go up to prices that are increasingly unrealistic. Those who bid aggressively, saying If you''re scared, if you''re scared'' with your eyes. And in the end, it wasn''t long before the bid amount exceeded 10,000 gold. 10,000 gold! - Hahahahahaha surpassed 1 billion. -and. It''s not a real price joke. -Isn''t it just a saying about making money from games? -lol. From today, there will be more jammins who use hope gamers in the future. - No need to go far. First of all, my hope for the future is to be a gamer. 1 billion at the real price. Those with a triumphant look on their faces, calling for a price that would allow them to purchase a decent apartment in the countryside. However, looking at them with an absurd eye, a noble NPC who had not participated in the bidding until now raised his hand and shouted. 150,000 gold. ...? ..... 150,000 gold. 15 billion in Hanwha. All of the users who were participating in the auction at a price that suddenly jumped 15 times in an instant looked at the ce where the voice came from with nk faces as if time had stopped. And starting with the nameless aristocratic NPC starting bidding, those who sat there one by one looking for opportunities began bidding. 200,000 gold. 400,000 gold. 500,000 gold. 800,000 gold. Auction prices soar to tens of billions in an instant. When the price went up to an astronomical level of gold that no user could secure, the users who were watching all of this were astonished. - Holy crap. Is that price real? - Ha ha ha ha ha 80 billion. Wow really crazy -No, isn''t that enough to risk your real life and try it once? -Yeah, first of all, you don''t have a chance to get an item like that. -You know what I mean by making money with real games. The currentw has not yet been properly maintained, so it is possible to earn 80 billion won in a pure way without even paying taxes. But surprisingly, this auction is not over now. 1.2 million gold! 1.5 million gold! Two million gold! Now, the situation has risen to a price level that even ordinary kingdoms cannot easily afford. It''s not impossible, but it''s too much of a burden to spend on one artifact. That''s why some NPCs put their hands down and just watched the auction with a dejected expression. Six million gold. 8 million gold. ...10 million gold! 1 trillion won. The price of a single item is roughly equivalent to the price of an Aegis ship. All those watching this auction, which seemed to transcend the concept, began to lose their minds. -1 trillion...? -.....Is this a game? -lol. Shows a glimpse of what''s breaking the news today. -Wow..... The real Arcadia is more fun than I thought. Now, most of the NPCs have given up on the bid. But even in the midst of this, the two proud old men stared at each other and began to openly smoke their animosity. Heung, wouldnt the Ferros Empire be able to handle it? Stop talking nonsense. It''s not as strong as the Shoen Empire, but the wealth the Bourne Empire has built up in the past cannot be ignored. The two empires are still taking their time as if this level is still worth doing. These two continued to raise the price fiercely after that. 11 million gold. 13 million gold! 15 million gold! 20 million gold! Earl Keith and Marquis Maiel snarled while making bids just the two of them, as if they were going to do it to the end. However, there was one person who intervened in the confrontation between the two. 70 million gold. ...? ....Eh? Did I hear it wrong?'' Everyone''s heads turned at the same time as if they had made a promise to the epicenter of the sound. And at the end of that gaze, a man shining brightly with an intense red light looked at the auction manager with nervous eyes and said. I don''t want to see any more dys in the auction like this. I will raise the bid price to 70 million gold. ..... Chi 70 million? Article 7. This is an astronomical amount that is more than enough to build a real aircraft carrier. Count Keith and Marquis Maiel were visibly agitated and shouted in a puzzled voice. No nonsense! There''s no way the kingdom of Bael could afford that amount of justice? You bastard... what the hell are you thinking! At this moment, the two of them are on the same side with one heart. However, despite the protests of the two of them, he made a sad face and spoke with an attitude full of arrogance. I don''t think the two of you should worry about whether you can handle it or not...? How will you continue to participate in the bidding? ..... Lee Ik..... You bastard..... His rxed attitude, as if he had enough energy to deal with a higher price. However, even if it was an empire, even if it was an empire, at least a dozen more had to be pulled out, so even though they were grinding their teeth, they couldn''t bear to participate. And Karven looked at the two of them and muttered with a mocking smile. hmm. I knew you would. Carben, who gave a humiliating insult and crushed the representatives of the two empires. He said, looking at the auction manager, who was watching the whole scene nkly, as if there was nothing more to see. Looks like the winner of this auction has already been decided. Aren''t you going? The janitor hesitated in amazement at the words. However, someone hurriedly ran up to the podium, snatched the gavel from him, and then knocked on the desk and shouted. Auction! This Midas auction item was sold to Baron Carven of the Kingdom of Bael for 70 million gold! Hearty congrattions! Goldberg, the general manager of the Midas Merchant. The auction, which heated up everyone bying out and knocking a hammer to confirm the auction and shouting joy, ended in a trivial way. With an unimaginable amount of 70 million gold. And everyone who was watching it muttered with empty faces as one. Fuck. Is this a game? Anyway, it was an X-like game where nothing was normal. * * * Hmm..... 70 million gold? It''s really big. Jaeyoung was watching the entire auction process. He opened his mouth as he saw the huge amount of winning bids, equivalent to a year''s budget of a government department, which in reality amounts to 7 trillion won. And seeing him like that, Tan smiled proudly and said, Hey master! That''s insanely cheap too. If that was normal, you would have rushed to buy it for several times more than that? Tan smirking with a proud face, as if he was d that someone else recognized that it was such a valuable item. At his words, Jaeyoung slowly got up from his seat on the roof of a building where he was watching the auction. Anyway...then shall we begin? Jaeyoung, who has been waiting for this moment. After a long time, I opened the status window to check the amount of probabilities currently remaining. -Probability: 1812331 He has been using a lot of probability in various ways so far, but he has been earning more probability and building up little by little. Surprisingly, the probability obtained from previous missions and helpers was more than expected. -Angelina: 283212 -Kassias: 192988 -I''m a yattongson: 92123 I don''t know what she''s doing, but Angelina is earning an overwhelming amount by herself and doing well. And Casis and Nayatongson, who are not up to it, but earn a satisfactory level of probability in their own way. Jaeyoung, who gathered up the probability he had obtained from them, looked at Tan and said. Will this amount of bullets be enough? Hmm... It''s intermittent, but I think it''s possible for about 30 minutes. Then I will ask you. I am. I will only trust the owner. Tan shows his firm faith and smiles. Dark energy began to form on his hands, and something else began to ovep Jaeyoung''s body. Kangsin Dragon yer Cain. Whoops. [The existence of the demon world dwells in the yer''s body.] [The power of the existence can be temporarily exerted.] The sticky energy that fills his body. And in his hand was a sword with a foreign appearance that he had never seen before. [Dragon yer de detects the heart of the dragon to be hunted.] [ Passive skill Dragon Hunt is activated.] [Passive skill Absolute eleration is activated.] [Passive skill Unrelenting Fighting Skill is activated. ] . . . All kinds of passive skills that are specialized for dealing with dragons. And even a legendary weapon that amplifies damage for a limited time against them. Jae-young, who literally put all the probabilities he had in this one room, red at the red-headed lizard waiting to receive the Deathbringer with a cold face while receiving everyone''s apuse from far away with a slightly nervous face. p. And then, when everyone was unaware of it, the sword appeared in Jae-young''s scabbard and leaped at the speed of a sh, splitting his body in half the moment he was about to move forward. A huge shockwave hit the entire ce. Wow. Aagh! Buy and save me! What the hell is going on! A huge shockwave that devastates the entire area. Dozens of nobles and users copsed in a gray light in the blink of an eye at the destructive power that destroyed everything within tens of meters around the auction house without a trace. Sheesh... it doesnt seem that easy after all. How did you stop that? A surprise attack sessfully inflicted. If it had been hit, it would have been able to deliver a fairly powerful critical hit, but Baron Carben blocked it by forming a strong shield in the moment of 0.1 seconds. He looked at Jaeyoung with a genuinely puzzled face. You bastard... who the hell are you? That ck...? Dragonyer Bane. A rare masterpiece created by a nameless man who was left alone after all his precious people were killed by a dragon and even burned his own soul. This sword, made to kill dragons only with revenge and hatred, was crying with intense energy, as if it were happy to realize its reason for existence. Woo woo woo. It''s like, You''ll definitely die, you fucking lizard.'' A sword that seems to be shouting. Looking at the sword, Karben, who turned into a serious look, looked at Jaeyoung and asked. Do you know what you dare to do! An entity that should never be touched under any circumstances. Untouchable. It was Jae-young who openly attacked such a nuclear bomb-like being, but he said it with a calm face as if he knew the fact all too well. What are you doing? Caan. His sword struck once again. Jaeyoung said while threateningly scratching at his defense. It''s lizard hunting. Chapter 169 Chapter 169 Kill the Dragon (13) Midas Merchant''s auction held in the central square of Ban. The high-ranking nobles of each kingdom and empire, and the users called rankers, who had gathered to attend the auction, were caught up in the sudden battle and began to fall as they turned gray in an instant. Ouch! what! What about this ridiculous damage? Suddenly, what is this situation! Uh... Ugh! help me....! Kwaaang. Quaang. A mysterious user who suddenly broke into the auction house and started swinging his sword indiscriminately. Since the target he attacked was Carben, who had won the bid at this auction, those who watched the scene in the area where there was no damage were dumbfounded. - What is it? suddenly? -Suddenly a battle...? Who are you attacking like that? -Wow, but the damage looks like a joke, right? Just die from ssh damage from the side? Guild Masters famous as rankers. They were astonished to see that even those known as the strong among the users were caught up in the attacks of these two and died without being able to properly resist. Kwaaang. Quaang. Jaeyoung''s sword strike hits dozens of times at such a speed that he can''t even react properly. And Baron Carben, who instantaneously creates a solid shield that blocks even that powerful attack, and at the same time unleashes deadly high-level magic. Everyone watching the fight between the two opened their mouths and shouted in disbelief. No nonsense! How can you use magic so freely? More than that, that magic! Isnt it 5th circle magic! Was Baron Carben such a high-ranking wizard? The 5th circle, called the devil''s wall by wizards. Baron Carben, who attacks and defends at the same time, constantly pouring out magic that can only be used by those who have reached the rugged stage that those without natural talent cannot climb. Looking at him like that, the proud nobles shouted with eyes that seemed to jump out. Kwaaang. and that moment. Baron Carben flew away with a powerful explosion sound. As if he had not been able to block it, he was hit by Jae-young''s blow of conversion and flew far away andnded on the outer wall of a building. Hood deuddeudeuk. I cant believe this... However, Baron Carben walked out of the copsing building through a huge pile of dust. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung clicked his tongue in regret. Sheesh. I thought this would take a little hit. Isn''t that too much of a scam? He barely seeded in attacking, but he looked so fine. However, Baron Carben, whose eyes were burning with murderous eyes, looked at Jae-young and said, as if his pride was damaged. You bastard... what the hell are you doing? Whoops. An unusual energy emanating from his body. Ignoring the others and focusing only on Jae-young, the force swung powerfully as if topletely oppress his body and mind. [Dragon Fear oppresses the yer.] [Passive skill Unrelenting Fighting is activated.] [Dragon Fear''s effect is neutralized.] Keying. However, Cain''s skill perfectly defends and neutralizes that energy. Originally, he had to crawl on the floor because he was hit by dragon fear and most of his stats were lowered, but now Jaeyoung is standing in a very good shape. Do you think such a trivial catching technique would work? Ha, a trivial catch technique? The supreme race of dragons. A powerful peer unique to transcendence that no race living on the continent of Arcadia can dare to resist. Carben red at Jaeyoung, who was cutting it down with a simple catch, and said with eyes that seemed to tear him to death. How dare you... a worthless human being! Roaring. The 7th ss magic fire storm that rages intensely from where he was, as if he was genuinely angry. When a fierce whirlwind of fire suddenly appeared and started to burn everything on one side of the huge central za, everyone watching it started to run away in astonishment. Everyone evacuate! What crazy! What is this situation? 7th ss magic! Ohh... God! ss 7 magic with enough destructive power to blow up a small vige in an instant without a trace. Baron Carben freely expresses the magic of the ultimate state, which can be said to be the limit that a human can rise without any casting. Marquis Maiel of the Shoen Empire and Earl Keith of the Ferros Empire, who were watching it with their own eyes while evacuating to a safe ce, could not close their gaping mouths. Baron Carben... was a 7th ss...? More than that, who the hell is the adventurer fighting that Baron Carben! The 7th Circle Archmage Baron Karven, who has been hiding the level he has achieved so far. No matter how lowly amoner he was, he was given the title of count or higher of the Empire and reached the point where he could monopolize wealth, honor, and power. It was questionable why he had been quietly secluded until now, but what was more iprehensible was that he was making fun of Baron Carben. It was the identity of the adventurer who was pouring attacks. Kaaang. Keuuugh! Amidst the barrage of magic, he evades as if he just barely passed by andes in and delivers a fatal blow to each one. Baron Karben managed to block the sword that continued to pierce his heart, letting out a sigh without realizing it. shhh. And the moment he dodges the flying sword again. Baron Karben was finally able to face the feet that flew rapidly toward his face. pug. Cudangtangtang. Baron Carben rolls on the floor unable to ovee the shock with a dull blow sound. Looking down at him, Jaeyoung muttered in a slightly mocking tone. What if I focus all my attention on dodging the sword? You have to anticipateing into martial arts. A sight that other people will watch while salivating, saying, Wow... is that possible?'' However, it was just too easy for Jae-young, who was very familiar with this kind of battle with the heinous actionbo game Icarus. Do you still have plenty of room? Are you thinking of winning by using only circle 7 magic? Jae-young continues to provoke Baron Carben. And he shouted, unable to contain his rage at such an obvious provocation. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Whoops. Along with his roar, a sudden and strong sense of pressure surged around him. As if Jaeyoung wasn''t the only one who felt it, even the users and NPCs who were running around chaotically reacted violently and froze for an instant. Keuuuuuuuu..... What! What is this incredible magical power?! Ughhhh! help me! We will all die! In a situation where everyone was looking at Baron Carben with fearful eyes and going crazy, Jaeyoung said with a strangely satisfied smile. Yeah, thats how it should be... Now, it seems like Baron Karven has finally thought of revealing his true colors... No, the red dragon Kervenian. Jaeyoung spoke in a loud voice as if telling everyone to listen. Users and nobles who listened carefully to his words. Their expressions changed as if they had made a promise. what....? Dragon? A situation where everyone is frozen as if reason is paralyzed by the development beyond imagination. As if time had stopped, the entire za where so many people were gathered fell into silence. And it was Cervenian who broke that cold silence. You bastard... how do you know me? Looking at Jaeyoung, who correctly called his original name, which he had never revealed to anyone, including his identity, even Kervenian himself asked with his surprised eyes shining. Everything is kindly disyed in the system window, but what?'' An urgent quest that popped up in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. Through it, he was able to know the name of the dragon he was facing, but Cervenian, who did not know that fact, questioned him again with a serious face. Tell me, man! Where did you get information about my identity? He roars and exudes powerful energy. However, Jaeyoung confidently answered his question with a face that was not at all intimidated. What do you find out? Did you know that you came all the way here? what....? yes? L? burnt? Kerbenian asked back with an expression that he couldn''t understand Jaeyoung''s words. However, he was shocked when he saw two little angels and a devil appearing next to Jaeyoung. Yeah you bastards...! female. Long time no see, you damn lizard. It''s an old dragon from the Red n... As I''ve heard, it has a reckless temper. Kerbenian had never met face-to-face, but seeing the two floating around in the form of a guardian angel and an imp that appeared next to Jae-young, he couldn''t help but be astonished. How... how can you guys be on this continent! Demon King Satan, the ruler of the Demon Realm. Holy Heavenly Guardian Archangel Michael. The fact that transcendent people who represent the limits that exist in mythology exist simultaneously on the continent of Arcadia. And Cervenian shouted at the fact that these two, who could never be together, stuck together in such a friendly way. Somehow, it''s because we signed a contract. I don''t like that fucking bat... but since it''s my job to protect the contractor, I can''t help it. Hey, this fucking chicken sucks even in front of lizards. shut up. Because I''m just telling the truth. Even in such a serious situation, Tan and L continue to fight childishly. However, Cervenian, looking at the childish appearance of the two, shouted with a more serious face than ever. I dont think Lord would be watching this kind of intervention! Are you going to repeat the stupid mistakes of the past again! The Holy Demon War that took ce in the past. A war that ended without any victor, with the heavens, demons, and all of Arcadia suffering enormous damage. Watching Tan and El try to repeat the past again, Kervenian shouted scoldingly. However, at his words, Tan and El muttered with dismayed faces. What are you talking about, that damn lizard? You seem to be misunderstanding something. We''re not trying to start another Holy Demon War. Rather, its just trying to undo the damage it suffered then. Tan grumbles as he clears his ears, and L exins with a bright smile as if not to misunderstand. With a beautiful smile, she looked at Cervenian and said, Through your heart. what....? L deres that he will rob your heart with a kind face. Seeing her like that, Tan muttered with an absurd face. Wow..... You''re saying so openly that a bastard angel shouldy down his heart in the face of a human... no, a lizard? Then you need a heart, so what do you say? L asks back shamelessly as if he doesn''t know what''s wrong. Seeing her like that, Tan shook his head and murmured. As expected... among all the chickens, you''re really the crazy chicken. Tan with a thumbs up and a liberated expression. Jaeyoung, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, said as he grabbed the sword that was crying like crazy again. Are you sure you understand the situation now? Whoops. Jae-Young, who puts all his strength together and exerts all of his strength. A red aura was raging from his sword, radiating furiously. [Item effect Repeated Revenge'' is activated.] [Limited damage to dragons is amplified by 1000%.] [Magical resistance is greatly increased.] [Item effect Time of Decisive Battle'' is activated.] [Stamina and The consumption of physical strength is greatly reduced.] . . . And at the same time, the effects of items and skills that are triggered simultaneously. Jaeyoung''sbat power, which instantly doubled, began to change Kervenian''s face to the extent that it was obvious. You bastard... Before he could finish his words, Jae-young flew in and swung his sword in an instant. However, unlike before, Cervenian''s defense magic could not block his fiercely flying attack at all, and he was torn mercilessly and had to take the blow with his body. Aww. Blood bursting out with a cool cutting sound. Looking down at Cervenian, unable to believe the red blood pouring furiously from his chest, Jaeyoung said in a whisper. So, if you dont want to be killed like a dog in vain, attack with all your might, you bastard lizard. Chapter 170 Chapter 170 Kill the Dragon (14) Arcadia Co., Ltd. A global multinationalpany that provides the first virtual reality service to mankind. Although it was a start-uppany that was established less than two years ago, the money and influence it earned every month through its monopolistic market dominance and the sessful sess of virtual reality was so huge that no country could ignore it. [Do you know how much sales Arcadia makes per month? Although it varies slightly by country, billions of subscribers are receiving a fee of approximately $ 150 per month.] A pandemic unprecedented in human history. The fact that almost every poption in the worldes into contact with and enjoys Arcadia is in line with the saying that we cannot dare to ignore the ripple effect of the events that take ce there. And in such a situation, the auction that started attracting everyone''s attention as a first interest. Wow. Quaang. Those who watched the scene were taken aback by the sudden battle, but everyone was shocked by the identity of Baron Carben, who waster revealed by an unknown user. [Baron Carben..... No, the red dragon Kervenian.] [So, if you don''t want to be killed by dogs in vain, attack with all your might, you bastard lizard.] Calling Baron Carben a dragon, he continued to attack with all his might. pouring user. It didn''t take long for him to reveal his true colors after struggling against the fierce attack. [Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu000e such a worm!] Coo-gu-gu-gung. A wave of powerful magic power. An immeasurably huge and infinite storm of mana that even a 7th-circle wizard could not dare to ovee. And high-ranking magic pouring in the raging storm. The users who were watching all of this through Arfandia were astonished. - What crazy! Are you a real dragon? - What is it? Why is my brother here?! -Is the dragon your older brother? -Wow, but it''s really no joke. How many 7 circle spells can you use at the same time? - That guy who is avoiding all of them is more strange than that. What is it really? A situation where you can''t properly check the character''s nickname because you''re filming from a distance. As if the setting hadn''t been disabled, the text continued to flicker above the head of the mysterious user, but no one caught it properly as it moved so fast that it was difficult to keep up with the tense battle. Aaaaaaang. The feast of 7 circle magic continues to pour out. However, none of them achieved their original purpose and began to cause serious damage by attacking buildings and people. -lol. No, but how many buildings will be demolished? -The central square ispletely destroyed. Wasn''t this the core district with the most shops? - Is that so? Come to think of it, do all the things fly away without a trace? -Mukkkkkkkkk Merchants bloody tears jam. Of course, the battle took ce in the central square, the busiest center of Ben, not a hunting ground or a secluded vacant lot. It was not a normal sword fight, so there were not one or two buildings and NPCs and users copsing in gray after being caught up inrge-scale magic that boasted enormous destructive power. -ah! Heck!!! You bad boys! My store says no!!!! -Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah _ You fucking bastards! What is this now! Users who are presumed to have essed Arfandia after dying intuition on the spot, and users who seemed to be screaming because their precious things were smashed. When their resentful chatting colors the broadcast. Suddenly, there were people who were pushed into this broadcast. -ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! -Wow..... Hyung, I was wondering what you were doing and you were spraying dragons in Japan? -Don''t y other games alone! -While you''re gone, destroy everything ande and throw it away. -Kiaaaaa!!! Japanese nerds! This is the spicy taste of kimchi. - Jumo! Where did the mother-inw go! I''m not going home today! Koreans suddenly rushed into the broadcasts of Japanese users. When hundreds of thousands of viewers suddenly came and began to ster the chat window, the existing users could not hide their embarrassment. - What is it? Where are these guys suddenly appearing? - You damn Josenjing bastards! Was this all your work! -I don''t think you guys will be safe even after doing this! -Cheek show oh oh !!!! Chats filled with disgust and hatred began toe up, but they were enthusiastic and cheered as if they didn''t care. -Push the dragon! Japanese puss! Spray everything! -Khehehe It''s shit, shit! - This is a game. -If it''s not just me, eh eh eh eh!!!!!! -lol. It''s really Byeonggyeong honey jam honey jam honey jam. Beyond the Korean continent, Dex is ying all kinds of games in the Japanese continent. Users around the world who were watching the broadcast on their chatting could see it clearly only then. The name that shines above his head, who is engaged in a transcendental battle with life and death from far away. [Dragon yer Dex.] * * * [Urgent Breaking News. It is said that strange things are currently happening in a ce known as the Japanese continent of Arcadia, a virtual reality game that is gaining sensational poprity around the world. Let''s take a look at the rted video.] Terrestrial broadcasting. This absurd situation where even regr broadcasting is suspended and the battle taking ce in Arcadia is broadcast in real time. When everyone''s attention around the world began to focus on it, the former branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. entered an emergency system. Check the rted information right now! Where is the configuration data for the dragon? Vice manager! The Japanese side is making a fuss to bring a senior right now. The publicity team tells the newspapers and broadcasters who are pouring out spection articles to stop right now if you dont want to sue them! Be sure to tell us that this is not the event situation we nned! Chief! I brought the report you just mentioned. A frantic crisis management response team. While they and all employees were busy running around doing something, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon sat with a look on his face, fascinated by the splendid battle being broadcast in real time. ...How much do you understand the situation? Director Kang Tae-hun, who came next to him and held the report with a stiff face. Looking at him with nonchnt eyes, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han asked, and Director Kang Tae-hoon nodded and said, That''s right. Then lets talk. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han with an inclusive and generous face who can ept anything. However, his face began to distort and be grotesque as Director Kang Tae-hoon''s story continued. So... is that the user named Dex who led the ck Pirates, who belonged to the Caribbean, and crossed over to the Japanese continent, and nned all of this? That''s right. A video preview notice was posted 20 minutes ago on the channel called the daily life of the current destroyer. As we inquired with the management who manages the channel, we even confirmed that they had asked for a rted notice to be posted at a specific time from several days ago. General Manager Kang Tae-hun speaks in a confident tone as he holds out a piece of paper with a rted notice attached to the executive director. He epted the paper he offered and read it carefully, then asked with a trembling face. The title of the next video is... Kill the Dragon...? That''s right. Kill the Dragon. kill the dragon. Strong evidence confirming that all of this was nned in advance. Seeing this, executive director Kwon Myeong-han felt as if his head had been hit with a blunt instrument. ...What a crazy bastard... Dex. A legendary gamer who became famous for his natural talent and great skills in other games. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who had been familiar with its fame and prestige, but what he was doing in Arcadia now was on apletely different level than any other case in the past. Par Larak. Dozens of reports pouring in front of him. The contents written on the papers were all different, but they were numerous incidents and idents that drove Arcadia''s employees to hell overtime and suffered, and they were all connected to one puzzle. Until now, I didnt know... but with this incident, I was able to know for sure. That user freed Carlos, the ruler of the Caribbean, and crossed over to the Japanese continent because of this! Dex suddenly uses Carlos to cross over to another continent. In a situation where ess to all information is restricted, the crisis management response team has made every effort to identify his true purpose by gathering only the information that has been disclosed. Even so, I couldn''t figure out exactly why, but now I know the real purpose. ...You crossed the continent to kill the dragon...? why....? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon is still full of unanswered questions. But before he had time to think about it further, he heard someone''s cry urgently knocking on his office door. This is the call from Kazuki, the manager of the Japanese branch of the executive director. I think you should try it once. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, who has been avoiding phone calls to find out the situation. However, he sighed and said with a tired face at the words of an employee with a puzzled voice, as if it was impossible to drag out more time. Once you know, lets go out and see. We will discuss the details after talking to the Japanese side. yes! All right. Then I will investigate the situation a little more while grasping the situation with video. When Director Kang Tae-Hoon left, Managing Director Kwon Myung-Han connected the line where Governor Kazuki was waiting. As soon as he answered the phone, as if he had been waiting for it, Governor Kazuki''s exaggerated shouts filled the room and began to resonate. [Cheek Show! Do you know what you guys are up to right now!] Branch manager Kazuki, who seemed extremely angry and gave the rmendation, poured out all sorts of abusivenguage without giving him a chance to protest. It was only after he went crazy for a while that Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was able to exin the situation. It has absolutely nothing to do with us. [...Do you think that makes sense now? Executive Director Kwon Myung-han?] There were too many elements that I couldn''t understand even if I thought about it a little. Korea, where it has been less than a year since the service started. However, in that short time, the user goes to another continent that is not even known to exist, forcibly invades the territory of the great empire that originally existed there, and aims for the life of the world''s strongest dragon there? This was practically impossible. [This is impossible unless you guys are messing around behind the scenes. Isn''t this all your tricks to use users to cause enormous damage to the Japanese continent!] Governor Kazuki, as if he had misunderstood something, spreads an unfair conspiracy theory that makes no sense. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was speechless at his words and fell silent. And, as if misunderstanding that silence as an acknowledgment, Governor Kazuki shouted even more triumphantly. [I''m prepared for everything! The entire board of directors, including President Lee Mi-yeon, will take issue with you and the entire Korean branch! It''s a mistake to think that we will copse because of your backstabbing!] Branch manager Kazuki unterally hung up the phone after notifying me of retaliation that I would not stay still. Wanting to tell him that it was a misunderstanding and that we were also victims, he picked up the receiver to call him again, but suddenly looked down at a piece of paper on his desk and put it down with a pale face. Haa..... What a fucking..... Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han, with an expression that has aged ten years. He sincerely regrets and regrets his mistakes in this situation that is growing out of control. Green bamboo that seems to be full of fresh scent. The first event, Jukchang Daejeon, which was held by the Korean branch in the past. Looking at the image of the bamboo spear used in the event, Myeonghan Kwon finally realized. No matter how hard he tries to deny it, if he calmly examines the situation one by one, he realizes that he is the one who triggered the unprecedented situation of killing the dragon. Chapter 171 Chapter 171 Kill the Dragon (15) Kerbenian, the red dragon. An old dragon-ss dragon that has lived for thousands of years and umted a huge amount of mana in its heart. Although he changed into a human form and most of his powers were restricted, he was still a threat to Jaeyoung. Big! You damn worm! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam. When his hand was swung, magic appeared instantly from somewhere and poured out. Since each one of them was a fatal and threatening high-ranking magic, Jaeyoung''s body, avoiding it, had no choice but to continue to move quickly. Damn, are you really a fraud? What magic is at least 5 circles? Unlike basic low-circle magic, most high-level attack magics belong to ranged attacks. That''s why his attacks continued to produce massive damage. puffer pung. pop. Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam. A powerful me that burns everything. The relentless cold that would freeze even the mes. A sharp wind tore apart even solid rocks. A powerful electric shock that burns the whole body in an instant. He was showing off his power by destroying everything around him, not Jaeyoung. - Wow..... What is that really? It''s a dog scam. -...? No, does it make sense to avoid all of thoserge-area magics? -If a wizard grows up really well, it''s a scam. -It''s not called the flower ofrge-scale battles for nothing. The central square of the town, which was instantly reduced to ruin... No, the central district. Suddenly, the site of the brutal destruction expanded the scope and was destroying the entire central district, the core of the economic city of Ban. Oh, no! please! fight over there! You damn children! Oh ah ..... Fuck here! Run away! Chick Show! How long are you going to fight? Users who watched that transcendent battle from afar. When the nasty magic started flying in their direction, they got scared and started to run away. Ha... It''s difficult after all. A battle that turned into a war of attrition. Jaeyoung frowned and muttered as if it was difficult after narrowly avoiding another magic spell. How much is the mana barrel? There is no answer in this way.....'' Unlike when he was careless in the beginning, he couldn''t even approach the surroundings. Because of this, only Ammon cities and buildings continued to be destroyed, and Jaeyoung and Kervenian were unable to properly hit each other. It''s difficult to do it this way...'' Cervenian, who does not return to his main body and fights while maintaining his human form, seems to have plenty of room yet. Because of this, Jae-young, too, could not take out the bamboo spear and just continued to fight the nerves. Hey master! 17 minutes left! We have to fight inside it somehow! 30 minutes secured by pouring all 1.8 million probabilities. However, seeing that half of the time had already passed, Tan made a fuss and shouted with a more worried face. You damned rat... you dare! A Cervenian who keeps pouring out powerful mana without giving him a chance to breathe, and fires magic. But even he wasn''t in a situation where he was so rxed at this moment. What the hell... what''s the n...?'' heaven and hell. Dimensions that do not belong to Arcadia, but are the closest and can exert a strong influence on thisnd. He was shocked by the fact that the beings who could be said to be the leaders of the ce were here at the same time, and that the human apanying them was aiming for his heart. To the extent that my peers don''t shrink in the slightest, and even mind magic and curses don''t work... There''s no way a human with this level of strength exists...?'' Jaeyoung neutralized all kinds of debuffs through her skills. However, from Kervenian''s point of view, who did not know such a fact, although his power was limited, he had no choice but to admit that he was fighting on an equal footing with himself, a high-ranking mage that no one dared to deal with. Adventurer... I''ve heard rumors... but I didn''t expect it to be this much.'' An adventurer who suddenly appeared in this world one day. He had not even paid attention to those who freely visited Arcadia, enjoyed adventure, and possessed the power of immortality. From the point of view of the transcendent dragon, their existence was only a level with one more new bug added. But now he was acutely aware that his judgment in the past was wrong. Contrary to what he thought he would quickly subdue, through the adventurer who avoids the pouring magic here and there and res at him with sharp eyes as if aiming for something. Fun. A feeling of iprehensible joy stirred his heart. Feeling like he hadn''t felt it in a long time, Cervenian smiled and said that he was having fun. Lets see where and how long we can avoid it. Woo woo woo. Magic that emits powerful magical powers and spreads in all directions at the same time. He wasn''t simply aiming at Jaeyoung, but Kervenian, who radiated destructive magic around him and used indiscriminate magic as if he wouldn''t allow anything to approach him. Watching the sight of him showing off his infinite magical power as if he was determined to do it right, the users were astonished. -Wow..... Isn''t that a real scam? -??? Isn''t it a taste of the magic you used earlier? - Hahahahaha fuck. how do you catch it -This is impossible even with Dex. -Dragon was a monster that couldn''t be caught. -Hey, it''s good to fight, but look at the whole city being smashed hahahaha - Japanese users have a bloody and teary jam hahahahahaha Users who shake their heads saying that this will never win. However, Jaeyoung found a gap in this absurd worst situation. 0.5 seconds...? Is it shorter than that...? Unlike before, the magic seemed to be pouring incessantly. However, I discovered that gaps that did not exist before were created very briefly. However, since it was only visible for a short time, less than one second, the gap was virtually non-existent. Looking at the timing, Tan and L asked Jae-young, who was thinking about something with a serious face, with an absurd face. What is it, how are you going to capture that short time? Hmm... that doesnt sound like a good way, does it? It was a timing that definitely existed, which Tan and El also felt certain, but if it twisted even a little, it was a dangerous situation in which dozens of magic bombardments had to hit all at that moment. No matter how strong they were, there was no way they could survive being hit by dozens of magic cast by an ancient dragon, so Jae-young''s n was negative for the two. Look at this, master. What would you do if you rushed in to aim for it and immediately started pouring magic right in front of your face? Its just dog death. I don''t know if the chances of sess are high... but it''s hard tond a critical hit, and the risk is too great. Tan and L try to stop Jaeyoung as if to find another way. However, even in the midst of that, time continued to decrease, so he grabbed the sword again with both hands as if he had made up his mind on something and said. Its not a situation to cover hot rice with cold rice right now. Whoops. Gambling... No, a situation where it would be more appropriate to say that I was just going to die. However, Jaeyoung activated all his skills with the mindset that he bet everything on this blow with an unknown strange certainty. [The zing Will of Vengeance is activated.] [The Will of the Dragon y is activated.] [The Final Blow is activated.] [Threads of Life are activated.] . . . Woo woo woo. The whole body''s magical power and power are swirling, and the situation has increased explosively more than ever. As much as that, the penalty when the duration had passed was also enormous, so as soon as all the skills were activated, Jaeyoung did not dy and bounced forward. Kwaaang. Quaang. The storms of magic and mana explode as if they were waiting for him to pass by. While avoiding them, Jae-Young moves forward like a runaway lotive that does not stop, moving left and right and moving again and again. And at that moment, Jaeyoung remembered a moment from the past. It''s better than the synchro rate test I didst time.....'' A synchro rate test that I received a few months ago, guided by the torch of an old student of the professor. Compared to the almost heinous difficulty test at the time, in which 30 balls flew at invisible speed, dodging these spells now wasughably easy. Mi crazy. Is that a movement that makes sense? No, more than that... did you just go in thinking you could avoid that? No shit..... Really... Ha..... Of course, for users who had no such experience, this situation was too shocking to say the least. Ouch! You wormy human! Cervenian casts another spell with an expression of boredom as if telling him to die. But at that moment, Jaeyoung put his sword into the very small gap he had been aiming for from far away with his eyes shining. Whoops. Elder dragon ss dragon Kerbenian. For the first time, he stared nkly at the scene unfolding in front of him with a shocked expression on his face. The blow of the adventurer who cut through the endlessly pouring dozens of magics and dug into the gap that appeared for a very short time and aimed at his heart with a sword with a powerful aura. Poo-wook. Something that happened in an instant. Those who witnessed the scene held their breath as if they had promised. Then he opened his mouth in disbelief. Wow..... Cheek Show! What just happened! What the hell is that! Kervenian, who showed the difference in overwhelming firepower and overwhelmed everyone with its strength. However, everyone let out exmations like screams at the sword stuck in his chest and at Kervenian, who was watching the scene nkly as if he had not yet epted the reality. sess. And at that moment, Jaeyoung muttered with a smile and a satisfied face. Seeing his bright expression, Cervenian felt an unknown insult from deep in his heart, and his face was horribly contorted. Aaaaaaang. [warning. Special NPC Red Dragon Kervenian. Anomalies detected.] [The mission of self-defense is activated. All limit release conditions are satisfied.] [Limit releaseplete. Special trigger activates.] [Expected scenario No. 213.] [Emergency quest triggered.] . . . Alice, who mobilized all her surveince resources and analyzed and contemted the current situation without missing a single one. Based on Jaeyoung''s n, she had predicted hundreds... thousands of predictable situations, but after realizing that the worst scenario had been triggered, she triggered an emergency quest for all users in the nearby area. [The quest has been created.] Eh...? quest? What is this....? A quest triggered by all users. It was nothing more than a warning to run away. [The horror of the quest legend] The red dragon Kervenian that only existed in old stories. He feels deep resentment towards the humans who ruined his y and even fatally attacked him. If you value your life, run away without looking back. Otherwise, you will know what the fear of the supreme being dragon is. -Escape from the Ban area. A quest with no rewards or penalties, no different than a notice to run away. But even so, no one seemed agitated or flustered. I just stood there, witnessing a scene I could never have imagined before. The moment Jaeyoung stabbed his sword, Cervenian bounced off everything with a huge shockwave along with a huge me. And what emerged from the swirling powerful mana and huge mes was Kervenian''s true face that had been hidden until now. [I have to admit it now..... You humans are definitely different from other bug-like people.] He muttered with his torn reptilian eyes shing as if he recognized Jae-young''s specialness. In the midst of a mighty storm of mana that could not even bepared with the one he had before, which raged through his huge body that stretched hundreds of meters, he dered. [So, from now on, I will do everything in my power to wash away this disgrace. In order to wipe out you, the entire city you belong to, and all worm-like humans.] Including Jae-young, he is now in Ven and here, his own The death of everyone who witnessed the disgraceful appearance. Chapter 172 Chapter 172 Kill the Dragon (16) A dragon that is like a nuclear bomb that can endanger the existence of a nation just by being ufortable. Living on thisnd with the setting of Arcadia''s guardians given by the creator, they are born with characteristics and powers that are blessed enough to be fraudulent just by being born. A heart dragon heart that umtes infinite mana. A body covered with hard scales that cannot be easily prated by any weapon or magic. A strong spirit and vitality that will not copse under any circumstances, and a long lifespan of 10,000 years. Among the dragons, who were united with pride and pride as the strongest race in Arcadia, Kervenian, an elder dragon who was treated as an elder and wielded great influence, was embarrassed and angry at the situation he was in now. [You fool, human. Did you believe that he could dare to kill me with a little special strength ? Even though he was simply conveying his will through thoughts, people''s reactions were intense just by feeling his thoughts. [You have been exposed to Dragon Fear.] [A transcendent being is hostile to you.] [ You have suffered from abnormal status fear.] [Overall stats decreased by 90%. ] give it! What crazy! 90%...? Is this real? Aww! Run away! The NPCs lose their reason in fear and run away screaming madly. And users who are astonished by their reduced abilities while looking at the status message. Kerbenian, who was looking down at the whole of Ben, who had been turned into chaos in an instant by these people, said with a satisfied smile. [Yeah.... You should be so afraid and run away, bugs.] As if he had expected this reaction, he moved his torn reptile eyes and looked down at the fleeing users, and the surroundings of the users instantly started to burn with ck me did. Heeheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! what''s this! Chick shoo oh oh oh! Those who fail to resist properly and disappear into ashes in an instant. Jaeyoung looked at Tan, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere at the ck mes that began to spread throughout the city as if he would not miss a single one. Hey Tan. Is this... Right. Its hell fire. ..... Every time Tan and El fought, the ck mes were asionally brought out. Of course, the scale was as cute as the me of a lighter, so it was not a big deal, but now, the horrors of hell summoned to this Ban were turning everything into ashes with such a terrifying momentum that it made my limbs tingle just by looking at it. The one you two used when fighting was... the 8th circle magic? If you use magic, right? But I''m a little different from that. It was just dragged from hell. It''s a terrible level that can be called a catastrophe. It was a sight to see why the 8th circle magic was called a cataclysm. -Wow..... -No, no matter how much Japanese users hate it, this is a bit..... -Fuck it''s a real game mess. mes quickly spread throughout the city. Those who watched on the broadcast that they were emitting huge smoke and turning everything into ashes were at a loss for words at the huge, unexpected tragedy. To the extent that even Korean users, who had just been teasing Japanese users for suffering, have sympathy. [Ha ha ha ha ha. Do you understand now, man? I wonder what you did.] Kervenian didn''t deliberately attack Jaeyoung and destroyed the entire city and those who watched all of this around him. What he expected was the despair, helplessness, and hatred of a human who had to watch the death of his own people who had lost something precious. However, there was no feeling of guilt or regret on Jaeyoung''s face as he watched it. I just look down at the burning city with a sullen face. Wow, rocks catch fire well. Is it because of hellfire? of course. The mes of hell are so powerful that even water can be burned. A human chatting with the demon lord pping beside him looking down at the scene with interest as if it were an interesting spectacle. Looking at him, Cervenian shouted with a stern face. [You bastard...! Do you think you can rx like that even in the current situation!] Cervenian growled as if he didn''t like it with a face full of venom. He shouted with a lot of temper that repays resentment a hundredfold. [Retaliation for this incident will not end with killing you. I will leave a lesson that will never be forgotten by all the human nations on this continent.] I don''t know what they''re up to, but Kervenian has the momentum to erase at least a few kingdoms and empires from the map. Hearing that non-threat, Jae-young was shocked for a moment, but when he looked at L, who looked like he didn''t like it, he said with a smile. As expected.... Arrogant. [What?...?] Jaeyoung is not intimidated at all. On the contrary, it was Cervenian who lost hisposure when he saw him smirking at himself as arrogant. Why do you think you always win against humans, the lord of all things, on the topic of lizards? lizard. In front of dragons belonging to the reptiles, who hate them the most, Jae-young utters that'' statement that disappears from the world without a trace the moment you say it. [This worm-like human is still...!] Cervenian reacted violently to his words and spurted out blood, but Jaeyoung smiled strangely and dropped the sword from his hand. with chaeng. And a new weapon in his hand. Those who watched it live were shocked. - Fuck! That''s that...! - What crazy! that''s right! That bastard then..... -Wow..... Can that be...? - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Fresh bamboo full of green freshness. A spear made by carefully carving the bamboo. Jaeyoung smiles a little while holding a so-called bamboo spear in her hand. Seeing him, Cervenian felt an unknown ominous feeling. [What is that thing...?] Just an ordinary looking bamboo spear. However, as if he had instinctively sensed the enormous power dormant within him, Cervenian asked in a slightly perplexed voice. But Jaeyoung didn''t answer his question. He muttered quietly as if he was talking to himself. You have one room, and I have one room too... Pereung. Jaeyoung leaps into the air with the sound of air bursting. The bamboo spear in his hand was screaming fiercely as the mighty power of the setting raged. In front of the bamboo spear, everyone is in one room. * * * Arcadia Japan Branch. Under the direction of Governor Kazuki, who dered a state of emergency, all employees were moving in perfect order and taking emergency measures against what was currently happening in Ben. The branch manager has notified all users. Stay away from nearby areas, including Ban, for now. We have issued a high risk alert. Adjusted the status of NPCs and other key characters to vignt. The entire top of the continent, including merchants, has temporarily stopped moving. I also pulled out all the settings and basic data for the Red Dragon Kervenian. Currently, all administrative rights and patches are blocked. Therefore, there were not many things that the operators could directly intervene or take action on, but even in the worst conditions, all employees were doing their best to solve this situation somehow. These goddamn Josenjing bastards... However, despite such efforts, when Ben, the center of the entire continent and the capital where a huge amount of gold and logistics came and went, burned to ashes in the fires of hell, Governor Kazuki couldn''t hold back the rage rising in his heart and moaned while grinding his teeth so hard that he was worried that it might break. . Chick shoo oh oh oh oh! Quaang. Users who will rise up demandingpensation for financial losses, starting from the deaths in this incident. No matter how the ending came out, it was a situation that was certain to lie down and protest, so it was a situation that could be angered by itself, but what was more upsetting than that was the fact that the user who could be said to be the culprit of all this was none other than a user who came from the Korean continent. Did you say your name... Dex? Hey! ording to the data handed over from the Korean branch, it is the same user who brought the ck Pirates, the pirates who attacked the Shoen Empire this time. A report in dozens of pages. Governor Kazuki, who was quickly looking through the data and confirming the contents, asked with a stern expression. What is user information? There is no solid data at all! Thats it, I also asked about it... but it said it was impossible to check the information because it was restricted. what....? Not to mention the status window with the ability values and the skill window, and no personal information of the user such as the inventory at all. This report, created by the author''s brain delusion and spection by simply fitting all kinds of crap and rumors from videos released to the public, was nothing more than worthless trash to the point of Kazuki, to the point where the tree felt sorry. We need to know detailed detailed data so that we can do something! A serious situation like this is happening right now, but they handed over this kind of garbage to us as data! Kazuki tossed the report with a blushing face. The whole situation room went silent in an instant at his reaction. A situation where everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him. As if aware of the mysterious atmosphere, Kazuki tried to regain his senses while suppressing his anger as much as possible. ...Once that dragon kills the goddamn Josenjing, what''s next? Kazuki tries to change the atmosphere by changing the topic. One of the employees, as if recognizing his intention, hurriedly checked something and replied. Once... the algorithm has confirmed that it will destroy at least a few additional nearby cities. At worst, it seems that one of the neighboring kingdoms could be blown away. A dragon who would never let go of his anger in this situation. As if it wasn''t called Untouchable for nothing, Governor Kazuki felt his head start spinning at the situation where he had to prepare to fly away at least a few cities. ...Users must be in a frenzy. Even if something had to happen, the center of the continent... and also in Ben, which was ced in a very key position... It was obvious without looking at the originality of the users who would be. First of all.... Record all the damages caused by this incident without missing a single one. Limitless freedom and limitless possibilities. Under these two ideologies, this pervertedpany keeps both hands and feet tied tightly and only keeps an eye on it. However, Kazuki, as the operator of the game, couldn''t understand the absurd situation at all. An operator who can''t intervene in the game... How can this be a ridiculous situation? Therefore, he intended to make a strong argument to the board of directors, citing this case as an example. In order to further strengthen the management authority of the operators and to weaken the influence of the damn artificial intelligence that blocks their updates every time it mentions that management authority. But at that moment, a sound like a scream suddenly broke out from somewhere. Sah boss! Over there! What are you making a fuss about? At someone''s cry, Kazuki inadvertently looked at the screen in front of him with eyes full of annoyance. And he put on a look of disbelief at the scene before him. [One room for you, one room for me too.....] A fresh green bamboo window. He was whispering with a very ominous smile as he leaped holding a bamboo spear, which was bizarre to look at with the sword he had been using until now. [In front of the bamboo spear, everyone is in one room.] Chapter 173 Chapter 173 Kill the Dragon (17) Bamboo spear. Jukchang Daejeon, an event that is talked about as the worst stain and dark history of the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. It is no exaggeration to say that this fraudulent item, which was identally leaked in an unexpected situation, was made by Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon himself. [You added a setting to ignore all defenses, including physical magic attacks, to prevent tricks. In addition, since there are only 3 unfair patches umted, Ipletely refuse to convert the item settings directly.] Lee Mi-yeon, the president of Arcadia and the only one with 1st level management authority. Alice, an artificial intelligence who refused to adjust items despite her orders. At that time, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han had to suffer for a long time in a situation that was growing out of control because of one of his hasty promises. [Fortunately, the parties epted the agreement. only once. It''s adjusted so that it can only be used once, so there shouldn''t be any problems.] Unconditionally one shot. A fraudulent weapon that can send any being to the other world in one shot, regardless of level or ability. Fortunately, thanks to President Lee Mi-yeon''s direct intervention, he was able to prevent a catastrophe in which he travels all over the continent and sends everyone to theher world with a bamboo spear. However, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who had let out a sigh of relief at that time, stood there with a sad expression on his face as he watched what was happening in real time in the Japanese continent. That Executive Director..... General Manager Kang Tae-hun carefully watching him from the side. During the Great War of Jukchang, he watched everything from the sidelines and cautiously spoke to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who had turned pale. Do not worry. Nothing much will happen. ...Do you really think so? Dex, holding a bamboo spear, rushes to rip the dragon''s head. All of the employees watching his video in real time were frozen in astonishment. Such a crazy bastard..... I can''t believe that bamboo spear... Wait a minute! If only one of those really seed...! The operators who were sure of failure, saying that everyone was crazy. Even the group called Deck Fans, who worshiped Dex, did not expect him to catch the dragon at all. - To be honest, it was great until now, but I couldn''t catch that. -Wow..... But dragons are really no joke. - Dex hyung! If brother-inw dies, I will tear my pants and cry. -?? Why are your panties ripped? -Ugh. Crazy bastards are really here too. Those who watched this situation with interest, but predicted his defeat in the end. However, the moment he took out the bamboo spear, question marks began to pour into the chat window as if they had promised. -??? -What??? -???? . . . After numerous hook runs. As Jaeyoung started to charge boldly at the red dragon with a bamboo spear, the chatter started pouring in nonstop as if in a frenzy. -That crazy bastard! - Jukchang!!!!!! It''s a bamboo spear!!!!!! -ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! -Make me a girlfriend! Please give me a perfect score for the SAT! -I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going out to eat lunch! - Long live the deck fan! Long live Dex!!!!! The Korean users who are heated up in an instant and go wild with the praise of Dex. Foreign users were embarrassed because they couldn''t understand the situation properly at their sudden crazy reaction, but soon they were shocked to hear that the identity of Jae-young''s weapon was handed over somewhere. -WTF? Where is such a fraudulent item? -It was paid as an event in the Korean continent? Isn''t that a scam? -we are? Didn''t we have an event like that? A monster that is impossible to catch with the power of one user. Ancient Dragon. But now, Jaeyoung was single-handedly attacking that impregnable monster. It was while narrowly avoiding all the powerful magic that could kill you just by brushing it with a piece of paper. [What the hell! That weapon!] An ordinary bamboo spear that looks like nothing on the outside. However, Cervenian felt the fear of death creeping up in his instincts for the first time in his life and poured out his magic as if in a fit. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak. The magic pouring down endlessly as if they would not tolerate it. Unlike when he was in human form, it was a banquet of circle 8 magic and circle 7 magic, which were called disasters, so the range was more than enough to cover all of Ben. Hyaa..... Really everything is destroyed without leaving a single residue. Ban, a hugemercial city that used to amodate millions of people. Tan murmured in admiration at the sight of this historic scene in which the huge amount of goods circted throughout the Japanese continent and therge city where astronomical goodse and go every day disappear into the dark side of history in an instant. As expected, those lizards are more picky than us. ....why? No, think about it. We sometimes invade Arcadia and take over small viges or kingdoms. ...? Even though we go into business, we dont kill everyone indiscriminately. Only those who don''t listen in moderation are quietly cleaned up, and most people who listen well are left alone. Even vandalism is just enough to intimidate. L has personally witnessed how demons in the underworld forcibly plunder and corrupt human souls. It wasn''t once or twice that she had cleaned the vige where the bastard bats had visited with holy fire, so she said that with a cold face. I think its better than a damn cockroach like you? What are these fried chicken babies? Tan and L are spending a peaceful day chatting leisurely next to each other. However, unlike them, Jae-young, who couldn''t rest for a moment and continued to avoid magic and tried to approach Kervenian somehow, shouted in an annoyed voice. Stop talking nonsense! Tan has a few minutes left! Ummm... We have about 5 minutes left! master! Haa... that''s the only thing left...? Although he seeded in making it return to its main body, Cervenian did not give it a chance. Jaeyoung sighed deeply and frowned at the situation where time seemed to run out after hovering around him, looking for an opportunity. There is no answer like this... Not much time left. However, knowing that nothing would change if he kept doing the same thing over and over again, Jaeyoung''s head began to spin rapidly. However, there is no sharp point in the situation. But then, Tan flew in pping his wings and said with sparkling eyes. Hey master. You know I hate those lizards. How about this? what....? Like what? That''s what you mean..... Tan whispers to Jaeyoung and tells him the secret to making the lizard angry. Upon hearing the secret, Jaeyoung looked at Tan with an absurd look. Trust me, Master. Do you really hate it? Tan gives a thumbs up and a confident smile. Looking at him with distrustful eyes, Jaeyoung asked Kervenian, who was floating in the air and wary of him, as if he had made up his mind on something. Hey Kervenian. [Why are you suddenly talking to a human?] Cervenian, who kept trying to approach without rest, suddenly stopped and watched with a puzzled look. He couldn''t stand the curiosity that surged at Jaeyoung''s question and responded. What if Daddy is a monitor lizard? [....?] Cervenian suddenly sends a bewildered look as if he''s talking about bullshit. However, Jaeyoung shouted with a very serious face. My aunt is also a monitor lizard! [.....] -???? - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ate. -Ah, my pride hurts. -What are you crazy about? -Oh, this is a bit hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha -It''s a pad lip for a dragon-limited pad lip. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ). Kervenian didn''t say anything to his drip. It just draws in an iparably powerful mana. [I won''t let you do any more tricks, a bug-like person.] He prepares something with his magical powers raging as if he''s about to end it. And at that moment, El shouted as if he was sure of something. Right now! As if he had waited for that moment, Jae-young started to run with all his might. As if he couldn''t dy even a moment, he quickly started running towards Cervenian, but strangely, unlike before, no magic was poured out. [That''s stupid. Running into death in a situation where running away would not be enough.] As if he was certain of Jaeyoung''s death, Kervenian was just gathering mana without any defense. He continued to talk while looking at Jaeyoung, who was running towards him. [After you die, I will summon all the ns with your corpse. I will tell everyone without exception about the fact that the human beings living in Arcadia conspired to kill me, the protector and coordinator of this world, by conspiring with the Devil World.] Demon King Satan . and Archangel Michael. As long as these two were involved, because he thought that something huge would happen that he didn''t know about, and because the man in front of him had crossed too many lines that he shouldn''t have crossed, Cervenian had no intention of just stepping away from this incident. [We will hold humans from all continents ountable for our anger over this situation and the indelible sins you havemitted.] Even so, the dragon with the strongest backstory than anyone else was the most cunning old dragon among them, so he already had it in his head. There were several ns drawn up to erase several kingdoms of humans from the map. wooow. And even at that moment, Jae-young, who hadn''t stopped running. After reaching a certain distance, his body began to bounce like a spring with the sound of air exploding. He was aiming for the body of Cervenian floating in the sky. Woo woo woo. And at that moment, the vibration of magical power reached its peak. As if everything was ready, Cervenian cast the ultimate magic he had prepared while watching Jaeyoung fly away with a bamboo spear. [Die, human.] L! Now! [Power Word Kill.] Quaaaaaaa. At that moment, absolute death swept through Jaeyoung''s body. The ultimate 9th circle magic that brings absolute death that cannot be avoided or prevented by any living creature. Originally, Jae-young''s death was unavoidable because even a human with excellent intelligence and mental power could not ovee the transcendent spirit of the dragon, which had been forged for thousands of years. Poo-wook. However, contrary to his expectations, Kervenian was startled by the stinging pain as if something was poking through his thick and solid scales. [What is it! Uh how....?] Pushyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. The ultimate 9th circle magic. In the aftermath of that huge and powerful mana, steam was emitting from his entire body, but he was still moving normally. With that green bamboo spear stuck in the middle of his huge abdomen. [Boo Impossible! How the hell did he do it.....] It''s simple. Isnt it magic that gives absolute death to living beings? Cervenian groaned with a shocked face. However, with the bamboo spear stabbed in, he slowly raised his head and saw Jaeyoung''s smiling face and shouted. [You, you!] Jaeyoung ispletely different from before. His whole body glowed with the characteristic gray tint of his appearance. He had changed into a tin doll-like figure and was grinning as if he had foreseen the whole situation. Then, isnt it possible to be a living being? Chapter 174 Chapter 174 Kill the Dragon (18) Tin Battle Doll Orca. A type of weapon that once appeared on the continent of Arcadia in the past when magic engineering was flourishing. I don''t know why, but this battle doll, which dominated an era, existed at the far corner of the list of celestial gods, boasting of its existence. Why the hell is this tin doll or something on the list of celestial spirits? A question I asked because I did not understand. To that question, El shrugged his shoulders and answered. Oh is that it? It was an earnest request from the person who developed the doll before. A sincere request? yes. I don''t want my soul to go to heaven, so instead, send that tin doll that looks like a child to heaven so that it can remain forever. ...so this was in heaven? More than that, Im really surprised. what....? no. I never expected that the doll would be useful in this way. A situation created by the desire of an unknown developer. The existence of the Tin Doll Orca, whose value had not been recognized until now, was shining brightly, making a huge miracle that made no sense at this moment. [I can''t believe it... This nonsense...] The 9th circle''s ultimate magic deathmand. Since it was a great magic that gave absolute death that no human could dare to block, Cervenian looked at Jaeyoung, who neutralized his magic in apletely unexpected way, with disbelief. And soon, in the rising anger, the mana of the whole body was released as if it exploded in an instant. Aaaaaaaaang. A simple release of magical power. However, the aftermath of the storm was bigger than expected, so the debris of the destroyed buildings around was blown away and a powerful wind blew around Kervenian for an instant. [dare! dare! A mere human being!] Jae- Young, who went beyond neutralizing his own attack, dealt a direct blow to his body. The pain was barely palpable, but the fact that he couldn''t stop it was humiliating, so he lost his temper and went berserk. [Received fatal damage.] [Falled into a dying state.] [All probabilities were exhausted.] [Skill skill was cancelled.] And at just the right time, Jaeyoung''s probabilities werepletely exhausted. Thanks to that, he returned to his original form, was thrown to the ground by a magical storm and fell into a dying state. Ugh... I almost died. There is only enough stamina left to not die on the edge. After confirming this, Jaeyoung let out a sigh of relief, saying he was relieved, and Tan and L looked at Kervenian who was running out of control in the distance with bewildered eyes and made a fuss. Hey... you crazy lizard... Ivepletely lost my temper... Kerbenian. Tan and El urgently shouted at him. Hey, where are you going to sell your mission and prepare for the magic to destroy the continent? Meteor Swarm as retaliation for a single human! This is a clear vition of thew. The situation L was most concerned about the other day. When the angry Kervenian tried to press the switch of the Titan to destroy the entire continent without covering his head, the two also tried to stop them with a frightened face. However, Cervenian has alreadypletely lost his reason to do so. He shouted with his eyes that he would kill that human no matter what the cost. [Hey, it doesn''t matter. If I can erase that worm and his entire family from this continent , I''ll ept that kind of penalty. . And just then, an rm sounded in Jaeyoung''s ear. [The item effect is activated.] Consumption item bamboo spear. As soon as this fraudulent item, which deliversplete and absolute death to the target it stabbed, began to take effect, Cervenian immediately sensed an abnormality taking ce in his body and shouted in horror. Woo woo woo. [What is it? Why did Mana suddenly...?] Mana moved freely as if it were a part of his body. However, the source of power that spread throughout his body, including his heart, suddenly lost control and went berserk. [You bastard... What the hell did you do to me!] The ultimate magic was suddenly canceled. Starting with that, Kervenian hurriedly checked his own body condition due to the strange energy encroaching on his body, and soon found out. That a huge power that he had never felt before came out of that toothpick-like spear stuck in his stomach and was rushing towards him. [What the hell is this...] Pajijijik. For the first time, he was taken aback by the aura of death that engulfed his body without giving up in the slightest, even though he tried to resist. An unknown power that he had never encountered before, even in his n''s infinite knowledge umted over hundreds of thousands of years of his experience of living for thousands of years. But he could definitely feel it in the resistance with all his might. The power contained in the bamboo spear he stabbed was an absolute setting that even the ancient dragon ss, which had the most power among the strongest race of dragons, could not dare to resist. Didnt you keep saying that...? Jae-young recovers from a moribund state. He slowly stumbled up from the floor and said, You have one shot.... I also have one shot..... The thrill of the fact that his n has seeded. Jaeyoung couldn''t help smiling in front of the dying Cervenian because he had created this absurd situation as if at the moment when even the slightest twist could have ruined all the ns and dealt a huge blow. In front of the bamboo spear, everyone is in one room. Jukchangs egalitarianism. [What kind of bullshit is that..... Geugh!] Looking at Jaeyoung''s words with iprehensible eyes, Kervenian vomited a panicked groan as his body suddenly lost his bnce and fell. A situation where hepletely lost control of the mana that made his body float in the air. In an unexpected situation, he crashed with a huge roar without being able to deal with it. Whoops. Vibrations resonated throughout the area as if an earthquake had urred. Cervenian, who fell to the floor and struggled, unable to control himself, soon let out a cry filled with pain and anger. [dare-! dare-! A human being-!] He has lived his entire life as the strongest. I couldn''t stand the fact that I had suffered so mercilessly from a human who had always looked down on me as a worm and ignored it, but what made me even more angry was the two (?) chickens and bats clinging tightly next to that damn human. Kiya! master! I believed in you too! I couldnt believe it... I thought this would seed. Really, Dex always surprises me. Tan is excited by making a fuss and eximing all sorts ofpliments. And L muttered while looking at Jaeyoung with a shocked expression. Cervenian, who was dying while watching the abominable appearances of the two, did not spare the words of curses in the midst of it, and poured out every word on them. [Do you think our n will stand by and watch you intervene in Arcadia like this! I don''t know what they did, but you guys will definitely pay for this! First of all, starting with you, I searched out all the people rted to this incident...] Kervenian, who had been pouring out all kinds of terrifying threats for a long time, starting with the promise to destroy the old family. Tan, who was listening to him saying everything he wanted to say before he died and not stopping for even a second as if he was going to die, frowned and sarcastically said. What are you saying, you lizard that is dying? [What?] I don''t think we''re going to invade here once or twice. We all know that you guys are filthy individualistic lizards who don''t care at all unless it''s rted to their work, so what kind of retaliation? Hen. It''s crazy and I''m tired. In fact, dragons live in a world of their own, never going out for others unless their own interests are at stake. It wasn''t until the Dragon Lord invoked the right tomand, unless it was something serious enough to destroy the whole of Arcadia. Do you think we moved without thinking about those things? you''re wee. After reviewing everything one by one, from killing you to the aftermath of this. L nodded as if agreeing with Tan''s words that Kervenian''s threat was a bluff. At the reaction of the two, Cervenian muttered while looking at Jaeyoung with a slightly dejected expression. [This is absurd. To think I was caught in such a ridiculous trap...] Looking back now, the circumstances were so suspicious. However, he passed those questionable moments too carelessly. Because of that endless arrogance that no human being can threaten him. Shhhhhh profit. The energy of death continued to gnaw through his body even during the conversation. Cervenian, whose gigantic body was rapidly turning gray as if he had reached a critical point, muttered with empty eyes until the very end, as if he could not believe his end. [I can''t believe it..... I can''t believe it..... That I die in vain like this...] Cervenian finally turnedpletely gray with those words. The moment the fire of life goes out in his eyes. In front of Jaeyoung''s eyes, at a speed never seen before, a tremendous amount of status windows literally started pouring down like a bombardment. [Mythic feat. You have defeated an elder dragon-ss dragon by yourself.] [All beings in Arcadia are astonished at your achievements.] [ You have acquired a reputation of 1.429 billion.] [Your name will be recorded in the history of Arcadia.] [The name of an adventurer . Everyone''s evaluation of existence will bepletely readjusted.] [Title Dragon yer acquired.] [Title Apostle of bamboo spear acquired.] [Title creator of chaos acquired] [Title monster-like strategist acquired. .] . . . Dozens of titles obtained with only one achievement, and fame points that are beaten with enormous numbers never seen before. Following that, by-products of the red dragon Kervenian, which had great value, began to arrive. [2724 red dragon scales have been obtained] [152 red dragon teeth have been acquired] [935 red dragon bones have been obtained] . . . A situation where cksmiths, alchemists, and other crafting sses started pouring into their inventories a huge amount of dream materials that they wanted to touch at least once. And in that huge list, Jaeyoung checked one message and smiled. [You have obtained the Dragon Heart.] [The quest Scattered Continents has beenpleted.] [Go to the World Tree toplete the quest.] The quest that the World Tree suddenly gave you. Looking back on the long journey he had taken over the past few months to solve this problem, Jaeyoung felt as if he had been rewarded for everything. But... the reward for catching an old dragon-ss dragon alone didn''t end there. [Red Dragon Kervenian loses ownership of the rare.] [Ownership of the red dragon Kervenian''s rare is acquired.] [Red Dragon Kervenian''s rare is registered as the yer''s hideout.] What... ? Dragons who store all kinds of valuable items in their rares. When Jae-young froze for a moment at the message that the dragon''s rarity belonged to him. As if in a low whisper, he heard a notification sound. [Acquired probability 14290000.] Chapter 175 Chapter 175 Irreversible Aftermath (1) Dragon, the official strongest in the world of Arcadia. It is also an old dragon-ss dragon that has umted near-infinite mana for a long time spanning thousands of years. Such a splendid appearance of Kervenian was enough to instill the power of dragons in everyone''s mind. -You use the 8th circle magic so freely? how do you catch that -Wow, there are so many magics I''ve never seen before, but they look really powerful. so cool -Ha..... I also want to use those magics to my heart''s content. A Cervenian who unceasingly pours powerful destructive magic that even a high-ranking archmage would barely use once and run out of mana. In the city being swept away by his mighty firepower and destructive power, people watched the battle with a mixture of fear and awe. However, even with such powerful power and infinite magical power, he met a very empty end. Everyone was at a loss for words when they saw the Kervenian''s massive body, literally approaching a small mountain, m into the ground and fade to a gray light. -??? What? - Is it a bug? - What''s the situation now? Why do you suddenly die? Not only Korean users, but also users from all over the world flocked to watch the show. That''s why the majority of people lost their words in this embarrassing situation and raised question marks. And the Koreannguage pouring out among them. - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! - Dex did it!!!! -Wow..... Really great. Do you eat the best in every game you y? - Hey hey! I believed you!!! shit!!!!!!! -ck color!!!! I tore my panties and cried out!!!! Deck fan dance spread all over Korea. They sincerely rejoiced and celebrated as if this dragon hunt had be their own, but there were too many people who expressed difort as if they didn''t like the situation. -No, you can do this with a bamboo spear? -Oh my god, isn''t this a real level of bnce copse, not ruin? -It''s really over the line. What kind of mind is the gamepany that makes this possible with event items? -Isn''t this honestly cheating y? I don''t think it''s even made to catch something. Even if you try to understand and move on to some extent, this is an Eva tuna situation that even the Buddha will admit. That''s why the number of people whoined about this unfair situation and expressed their dissatisfaction began to increase rapidly. - I have to file aint. Where is this biased operation? -Isn''t Dex the hidden child of the president of this gamepany or something like that? -I heard the boss is in his 30s? -I don''t know. It must be a nephew, then. -lol. is this a game? - No matter how much I try to understand, this is impossible inmon sense. Clearly using inside information. -I go straight to the gamepany. good luck. Humans'' natural jealousy and envy toward a user who achieves a great feat that he himself could not achieve. And the arrow of anger rising as a result so naturally headed for the gamepany, the operator of this game. [hey. After watching the broadcast earlier, I couldn''t understand it no matter how much I thought about it, so I called...] [ Are you going to run the gameter?] [No,mon sense doesn''t make sense. What kind of dragon did you hit?] [Why did you hold an event like that? Ask the person in charge toe out.] [Tell me honestly. That user gamepany employee, right? A ranker created to promote the game, right?] The customer satisfaction service team struggles toe to their senses amidst the bombardment ofint calls. In addition, while responding to this situation by attaching a department crisis management response team that only exists in the Korean branch, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han muttered to Director Kang Tae-hoon with a somewhat bewildered face. Director Kang Tae-hoon. Yes, manager. What do you predict the oue of this event will be? yes....? What do you mean by that? Director Kang Tae-Hoon is making a puzzled expression as if he did not understand the intention of the question. After looking at him with a meaningful face, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han said in passing that it was nothing. Dont you know? What changes will happen to Arcadia in the future? Ah, if thats the case... A fact known only to a very small number of people through President Lee Mi-yeon. A huge project being prepared for Arcadia, which will transform into apletely different world from the past, being prepared secretly so that only Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and Director Tae-Hoon Kang know about Arcadia''s Korean branch. Massive update Pangea. Realizing that Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was asking what would happen with this update, General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon thought about something with a serious face. And soon, he started talking about the future direction he was thinking about. I expect there will be a lot of confusion in the beginning. It hasn''t been long since the fact that other continents exist has been known, but those huge continents are merging into one... To be honest, there won''t be many users who will calmly ept this crazy thing. It''s something gamepanies would never do unless they were hit in the head with a few shotguns. It was a crazy situation to the extent that it was okay to shout our boss was shot in the head''. Doesnt the managing director agree? Given the current circumstances, that update is far too premature. From the management''s point of view, it is an update that can only be pushed forward after users have explored most of the continent of Arcadia and exhausted the huge scenarios we nted, while sticking to the current situation and worrying about as much content as possible. Only less than 10% of the regions and quests for each continent have been revealed yet. A state that is still full of things to explore and adventure. It was General Manager Kang Tae-hoon who did not understand why he dared to do such an irrational thing in a situation where the interest and poprity of users were at their peak. And at his words, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han sighed deeply and muttered with an indescribablyplex expression. Huh... what should I do? It''s a situation that''s happening by the user. We must follow what we have decided above. Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon fully agrees with the fact that it cuts off the lifespan of the game by at least 10 years. However, I had no choice but to sumb to the actions of crazy President Lee Mi-yeon, who smiled and said, If you have anyints, please resign,'' even when all the branch heads around the world shouted the opposite, as if they were not interested in such profitable aspects at all. Anyway, its a really uniquepany... I thought I was holding on to this industry until now, but this is the first time Ive seen apany that binds administrators rights and returns to the convenience of users. Stories created by users. It is a slogan that is put out in order to highlight the degree of freedom of the game in every RPG game. However, unlike other games where only the ideal is over and the users are nabbed and run their own way due to realistic situations and adults'' circumstances, this game used to create so many situations in which employees'' bloody tears flowed. yes....? Abandon all scenarios...? You don''t need it anymore...? Chief T, thats the content we made while staying up all night for two months...! Suddenly working overtime...? No, what kind of emergency is this...? Uh..... Honey... I''m sorry. Suddenly, the slime goes crazy and works overtime. Overtime, saying that the peaceful ducal territory was blown away by the undead attack. Overtime, saying that the Holy Empire is going crazy. overtime overtime overtime. Employees who are put into overtime every day for all sorts of reasons. In addition, the customers who were caught up in all sorts of incidents and were damaged and made angry calls were a bonus. At this point, it was worth punishing the user who caused a disturbance by causing enormous damage to the game by swinging the mace of the permanent ban of anger, but due to the meticulous privacy policy that thoroughly prevented even the game information from being viewed, let alone the user''s personal information, It was impossible. And, at one time, managing director Kwon Myung-han was suspicious of President Lee Mi-yeon, who put these policies at the forefront and only watched the game being thoroughly disturbed on the part of non-employees, but users. It is said that he is a pervert who feels joy when he sees his employees suffering. However, in this situation, with his sincere and earnest words, executive director Myung-han Kwon was able to get a glimpse of President Lee Mi-yeon''s intentions. [Hmm..... I''m honestly aware of the concerns the branch managers have about this incident. It is true that I fully sympathize with the reason.] [Then, why are you trying to force yourself on this matter? If you are the boss, you can intervene in this matter...] CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who says she doesn''t agree with this situation, but doesn''t do anything. She said with a puzzled expression for the first time at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han''s question. [That''s it..... Actually, I can''t do anything either.] [Yeah...?] An irresponsible statement that even she, who is in the position of president in charge of everything in Arcadia, can''t do anything about it. The managing director, who had rmended her remarks, asked back with an expression as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer. [As you know, I am running thispany as the president...but do you know who the true owner is who owns most of the shares in thispany?] Arcadia Co., Ltd. A cash cow that makes billions of dors in cash every month, and the only virtual reality servicepany that generates huge side profits. Therefore, all investors drool and offered huge investments and demanded shares, but at present, 99% of the shares were monopolized by the threepanies. Ajin Electronics. Silico The Bio Industries. Corporation Argos. Except for these threepanies, CEO Lee Mi-yeon owns the remaining 1%. She smiled so brightly and asked Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han. [No matter how much I am the president, I cannot ignore the opinions of the major shareholders who have voting rights, right? What should I do if I run thepany on my own and get fired because of a general meeting of shareholders?] [.....] With those words, President Lee Mi-yeon gets up from her seat. Thest word she said before leaving the room was an honest confession from a petit bourgeois filled with the joys and sorrows of a sryman to the extent that even managing director Kwon Myung-han felt the same. [Isn''t this all about making a living?] Of course, the petit bourgeois who said it was about making a living was the one who had stakes estimated to be worth trillions of won. Dex... I don''t know why that user did this, but thepetition and confrontation between users in the future will be iparably harsher and more extreme than before. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who was lost in thought while briefly recalling the past, looked up at General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon''s words and looked at him. I see... If you run into users of different nationalities, not yers of the same nationality, it will be apletely different realm than before. A situation where various conflicts can arise due to other factors such as nationality, ideology, religion, and race beyond simple gamepetition. Probably, if the integration between continents took ce, it was obvious that various disputes and incidents would ur frequently both inside and outside the game. Besides.... Judging from the unusual reaction of Japanese users, I think there will probably be a lot of conflict with Korean users. It seems that it is a situation that we can not avoid even in terms of business. ...that''s probably it. The Japanese branch is really frenzied over this incident, and especially after Kazuki, the branch manager, made a fuss over the phone, screaming that he would fly to Korea right away, the executive director who rmended Kang Tae-hoon at the end of the day looked like he was 10 years older. was just mumbling. Yes customer. I''m really sorry for causing you concern. Regarding the bamboo spear... Thank you for your valuable opinion. Be sure to pass it on to the relevant ministries so that they can review the opinion..... Stop being rude...? If the customer repeats such aggressive words and actions, the consultation will be forcibly terminated... Yes. sorry. sorry. I''m really sorry. Employees cringing at their phones, dealing with disgruntled customers. Looking at them for a long time with aplex expression full of pity, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han thought. Anyway, this game is like X. Chapter 176 Chapter 176 Irreversible Aftermath (2) Arcadia''s economic system is designed more borately than any other game. Although elements were applied considering the convenience to some extent because of the users who enjoy the game, it was a structure that had a frighteningly excellent reality. You shouldnt just take Arcadia as a game and recklessly sign a strange contract. If you really do something wrong, you can be a ve and forcefully quit the game. You dont know about that mining very case? Don''t take it lightly because they''re NPCs. If they ask you to write a contract, stop being suspicious and read it really carefully. From the contract system that has strong binding power through the system. This is such a big deal... City development is about toe to a halt due tock of stone. Could you get me some stone? Make sure to pay generously. The imbnce of resources in each city and vige and the quests generated by it. You know what? The price of general weapons has plummeted recently because of Dwarven equipment? I know. Because of that, all the rookies who pretended to be cksmiths disappeared. Even the price of each item, which plunges and soars due to various variables and external factors. Thew of supply and demand is not strange even if it is really real. Seeing this world of Arcadia where the invisible hand is working smoothly, many prominent economists were shocked. [The most astonishing thing about Arcadia, a virtual reality game, is that the market price of thousands of tens of thousands of items fluctuates in real time ording to the countless cities and towns that exist on the huge continent and the ever-changing situation. ] Just look at the case. The amount of price change ording to risk is terrifyingly urate, to the extent that the price fluctuations of grains seen in the recent sudden change do not differ much even when applied to reality. No, how much economic engineering is applied to a single game? And how does such a huge system work?] [The more frightening thing is... the value of gold used in Arcadia is getting bigger and bigger. Demand to purchase this virtual currency through real goods is exploding. However,pared to such demand, the amount of gold that can be acquired in the game is limited. Because virtual NPCs don''t sell gold in exchange for real goods.] The supply of gold could not keep up with the explosively growing demand for gold from wallet warriors. Therefore, the price of gold continued to rise, but that did not mean that the supply increased easily. I''d rather be a little stronger than make money selling gold. hit. At the beginning of the game, growthes first. Gold, well, even if you sell only one unique itemter, you will earn a lot in one shot. A game that does not have a cash-like fractional euro model at all. As a result, gold was the payment method for all content in the game, so most users ended up using it without even having time to collect gold. Except for some users, I couldn''t even think of selling gold. In addition, the fact that the workshop is a game that cannot be touched at all further elerated this imbnce between supply and demand. Boss Lu Lufeng! It was a big deal. what? what''s the matter? Lufeng was running a huge workshop using hundreds of capsules. He was stunned by the words of a subordinate who suddenly came running to him with a contemtive face. All of our employees ounts have been permanently suspended. what....? Lufeng was standing in a daze with an expression as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer. And he stuttered and shouted, as if he didn''t understand, as if he was embarrassed. Does that make sense? No, it hasn''t even been a day since I started working on it! But howe you are already suspended? The situation where employees just created characters and started simplebor to earn gold most efficiently, whether it was mining or gathering. He had never made a profit by selling gold yet, but he couldn''te to his senses at the fact that he had been permanently banned. That''s not all! All the capsules we prepared have been deactivated because a negative attempt was detected! Even if employees with other ounts try to use it, they cannot ess it! What! Expensive equipment worth 10 million won per unit. In addition, considering that each employee has already paid hundreds of thousands of won for game fees, they have suffered billions of dors in losses. No matter how well-funded the workce was, it was not a scale of damage that they could easily afford, so they gritted their teeth and inquired and apologized to the gamepany. However, Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s response to them was swift and ruthless. [At Arcadia Co., Ltd., we strictly prohibit the act of manipting the market price through repetitivebor activities and disrupting the supply of certain items, using only the acquisition of goods called the so-called workshop as a means. The disposition of those who were caught and sanctioned this time was a decision made through a close review and detailed analysis by the management team after this activity was detected by our own security program Aegis''. Therefore, there will be no relief or adjustment for this, and I hope that it will sound an rm to all those who are trying to gain financial benefits through these workces in the future. Also.....] To put it simply, Don''t change it. no. The gamepany wields the mace of the permanent van to its heart''s content in the workshop, sorting out this situation with Go back.'' Thanks to this, several workshops that were notorious for running auto programs in numerous games in the past disappeared with irreparable damage, receiving apuse and praise from many gamers. -Wow..... You''re really missing the paddle. dog is scary -Wait a minute, but if you are permanently suspended, will you not be able to y virtual reality games in the future? - Maybe so? It is connected to the Argos ount, but the rule is that one ount per person. -that''s right. There''s even a biometric authentication system, so you won''t be able to ess it by borrowing someone else''s name..... -What, if you get permanently suspended, you''repletely kicked out of the virtual reality service? - Wow..... Isn''t that very serious? The number of services rted to virtual reality has increased, but I don''t think it will decrease any more than it is now... As attempts to apply virtual reality technology have been actively made in various industries recently, the supply of Dreamer has been elerating tremendously. - Officialunch of virtual reality office for Ajin Electronics telmuting. - Promoted a contract to develop a real-timebat training system using virtual reality technology from the Ministry of National Defense. -Concluded a graphic editing technology contract using virtual reality in the future studio. -Mizuni, a world-ss theme parkpany. Consultation on the construction of arge-scale theme park in virtual reality. work or leisure. The reality that started consultations to transnt many things into virtual reality without covering anything. Therefore, the fact that they were permanently expelled from the market of such a huge virtual reality was tantamount to a terrifying social death sentence in which they had to suck their fingers and not be able to participate in the huge future transformation and change that would begin in the future. In this way, Arcadia Co., Ltd. began to deeply root its influence on the entire earth without knowing it. In this situation where virtual reality technology is sessfully settling down, when severalpanies struggle to find their own survival strategy. Some countries have even stepped up a little more aggressively. Report Director Yasuhiro. Tokyo, Japan. In a secret meeting attended by several officials held there, Yasuhiro, director of the Cab Investigation Office responsible for all internal and external intelligence operations and covert operations in Japan, was unable to hide the serious face of the situation and learned about the consequences of the recent situation. I opened my mouth to report. Due to this Dragon Crisis, Van, which we used as our base, waspletely devastated. In addition, most of the nobles, the representatives of each country, who gathered for the auction were also killed, and the losses we suffered have been ascertained so far... Regarding Arcadia and the potential for virtual reality technology and its added value, any country Japan, which had a quick insight. They have encouraged the introduction of virtual reality services even by the government, made or amendedws, and made every effort to make virtual reality popr among people by removing all unnecessary obstacles. But Japan''s thoughts did not stop there. Although it is a game, there are many empires and kingdoms within this continent. It''s kind of like seeing the Warring States period in Japan in the past. And in this dizzying chaos, we have confirmed that users can also be kings and rule the country. A witch hunt in the Korean continent. And as a result, the ck me dragon of darkness became the first king in history as a user. Through his case, the Japanese government came up with a dreamlike idea. Then, doesnt that mean we can create a Japanese empire by directly unifying the continent? Although it is a virtual reality, the possibility of conquering all the countries and creating a single Japanese empire within it. It''s an idea that sounds crazy just by listening to it, but at the strong insistence of those who still haven''t forgotten the nostalgia of the Japanese Empire, which was as brilliant as it was in the past, they secretly but meticulously began to nt such a possibility in the game. And the great ambition to create such a Japanese empire began to stumble from the start. Because of the sudden disaster in Ben this time. So... are you saying that most of the main NPCs we''ve been working on to increase friendship as much as possible have died? That''s right. In the case of some small and medium kingdoms, they are still alive, but... All rtions with the two empires, the nobles and those in power who have put the most effort into it have been severed. enormous gold. In other words, those who raised their friendship to the maximum level through bribery. The fact that the n to use the aristocrats to influence and expand their power in various countries copsed overnight, and the faces of those who participated in this meeting were all stained with despair. Because it was a part where a lot of budget and effort was spent, the sense of loss touched me even more. I can''t believe it..... how much gold I poured in and this happened. ...what the hell was the Cab Office doing while all this was going on? Shouldn''t we have prepared for this to happen in advance andunched an operation! High-ranking officials in the Japanese cab swear at those words and reprimand them one by one. One day, a dragon suddenly appeared and kuaaaa! It was an extraordinary event that even those with obsessivepulsive disorder would never expect to see all the nobles who were involved in such a situation and die, so Director Yasuhiro, who was in charge of the operation, felt a lot of unfairness. But things have already happened. As a result, he suffered enormous tangible and intangible losses, so Director Yasuhiro had no choice but to bow his head and apologize. .... I have no face. no! Is this something to cover up by saying that I have no face now! If the Prime Minister knows about this, do you think this will end with you alone? uh? This situation caused great confusion even within the Japanese government. However, the people involved in all of this were preupied with admiring the spoils in their hands as they stood in a daze in a huge hollow. [You have entered the rare Red Dragon Kervenian.] [You can move to a limited rare once a day.] Wow..... The ceiling seemed to be hundreds of meters high. Jaeyoung was speechless when he faced the mountain of glittering gold coins in the endless underground cave. Oh master. Do you think the one we caught was a really filthy greedy lizard? Ive collected a lot of them. Iknow, right. To collect them on this scale would be impossible even for an old dragon-ss dragon unless they ate a lot... He must have been a very evil guy. A huge amount of gold piled up like a really small mountain. Numerous kingdoms and empires have disappeared and reappeared over thousands of years. Kervenian''s rare, filled with countless goods stolen from it and precious treasures and jewels extorted from various other races, including Dwarves. Seeing this, Jaeyoung thought for the first time. In fact, this game wasn''t like X. Chapter 177 Chapter 177: Have you ever imagined that I am rich? A huge amount of gold coins piled up like a mountain. [Current gold: 1352232120 gold] Wow..... Does this make sense? A management system created when the red dragon Kervenian''s rare was registered as Jaeyoung''s hideout. And while looking at the system window that briefly wrote down the total amount of gold he had, Jaeyoung rubbed his eyes in disbelief. 1.35 billion gold. The amount of gold coins forming a huge mountain alone is an enormous amount of money, reaching 130 trillion won in Korean currency. However, considering the recent surge in gold prices, it is close to 180 trillion won. It was an astronomical amount, enough to purchase a few real-life conglomerates as if shopping, but this was not all. Oh master! There are many rare things here. I think this lizard has collected everything that looks expensive? There is also a magic book here. Are there multiple 9-circle spells? Most of them are at the level of the 8th circle, but... Starting with the powerful arms crafted by Dwarf artisans with their souls, the fairies, the Hwanjok, and the incredibly expensive magic items that are believed to have been ripped from the Elyos and Asmodians. In addition, rare magic reagents and materials whose names alone are worth calling. Jaeyoung''s mouth naturally smiled as he looked around the dragon''s rares, which were filled with things that were so incredibly valuable that each one sounded ridiculous. Wow... there really isnt anything missing. Cervenian''s storehouse filled with all sorts of things to the point where it''s easier to find things that really aren''t there. In particr, what he was interested in was the library full of books that Kervenian seemed to have written himself. [A secret book to improve magic efficiency.] [Dragon magic''s humanoid transformation, word magic.] [Magic amplification new magic enhancement.] [Quadraple casting.] . . . Magic books that seem to have been written while researching to directly improve something magic. Since Jaeyoung is not a wizard, it was not possible to urately measure their value, but it was easy to infer that they were legendary items or higher just by looking at the text that all glowed yellow. Wow, people say they sweep the floor all the time because they couldnt get a magic book... This really is apletely different world. Wizards who do not noticeably increase their power even when their level increases due to the fact that the difficulty of obtaining magic books increases dramatically from Circle 5 onwards. They were always walking around with lights on in order to obtain a high-circle magic book, but the maximum magic revealed so far was all of the 6th circle. -Why are you so hard to get the magic book? Seriously. -Give me money! I have money, so why not take it! Shut up, take it and give it away!!!! - No lol. I''ll give you a real 6th circle magic book, so you have to work full-time at the Mage Tower for 3 years. This is aplete very contract. -3 years for 6 circles? If it was me, it was fun. -lol. Bloody Tears Jam. -Can''t we just live? Why are you so obsessed with high circles? Thements of the wizards that alwayse up in Arpendia. However, the magic books that filled the bookshelf in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes to the extent that their pain was overshadowed, started at least from the 6th circle. [Circle 6 Spellbook Fire Lane.] [Circle 6 Spellbook Giga Lightning.] . . . [7 Circle Spell Book Fire Hurricane.] [7 Circle Spell Book Restoration.] . . . [Circle 8 Magic Book Tidal Wave.] [Circle 8 Magic Book Volcano Disruption.] [Circle 8 Magic Book Frozen Tempest.] Dozens of types of magic, from Circle 8 spells that areparable to natural disasters to attack, heal, curse, and utilities, are tightly packed. of magic books. What was surprising was the fact that even the magic books of the 9th circle, called the power of dragons, existed. [Circle 9 Spellbook Meteor Swarm.] [Circle 9 Spellbook Death Order.] Unlike other spells, there were only two books, but that alone seemed to surpass the value of other spellbooks. Looking at each of these, Jaeyoung was convinced. The fact that I was hit with a huge amount of money that I couldn''t even handle. Haa... This is kind of a headache, too. hmm? What bothers you? At Jaeyoung''s self-talk, Tan asked with a puzzled look. There are too many things than I thought. When are you going to sit down and organize all of this... The scale was as if three superrge stadiums that could amodate tens of thousands of people were put together. Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh at the thought of figuring out the location of each of these rare and expensive items stored inside. After hearing that, Tan looked at Jaeyoung with a puzzled face and asked. ...Is that a concern? Isnt that a serious problem? It would not be strange if an ordinary person would spit phlegm in the face saying that it was unlucky. However, Tan and El were also extremely far from the ordinary category, so they nodded as if they understood. Well, it is. I also sometimes get a headache when I see the chaotic mess of the treasure house in the underworld. Eh? Are you a treasure too and have something to keep? Shut up before you fry it. Even in the midst of this, Tan and L engage in a strange war of nerves. At Ls provocative question, Tan growled once with tear-jerking eyes, then looked back at Jaeyoung as if he had a good idea and asked with bright eyes. ah! master! master! why? Do you know what kind of worry I am? If so, can I introduce you to a good guy? A good guy...? A treasure trove of demons. A talented person who perfectly performs inventory and quantity checks on the huge amount of items that exist in it, and records of items that go in and out of it. Tan gave all sorts ofpliments as if he were a salesperson. So... the bottom line is that you summon a demon to rece the manager in exchange for probability? Well... to be honest, it is. Its a kind of contract, but we cant live while digging in the ground, can we? Even in the midst of this, Tan''s ulterior motive to rip off probability. In normal times, he would have refused, saying that there was no possibility of wasting it, but now the story was a little different. After all, there was an enormous amount of probabilities obtained in return for catching Kervenian. -Probability: 14290000 Probability of up to 14 million. It wasn''t that much of a burden because it wasn''t noticeable even if he used his strong body to his heart''s content. Moreover, his proposal was exactly what Jaeyoung needed in the current situation. [The manager of the hideout does not exist.] [Hire a manager to guard the hideout while you are enjoying your adventure.] Arcadia requires you to hire an NPC to manage the building or house that belongs to you even during logout. However, unlike other users, it was almost impossible to find an NPC to manage this underground cave full of unknownva, so Jaeyoung nodded happily at Tan''s words. Well, its not a bad suggestion... Isnt it? By the way, you''re going to appoint me such apetent manager? Why? However, the burnt smell was full of something suspicious. Common sense meant that there was no reason for Tan to voluntarily entrust a person whopetently manages the treasure house of the Demon Realm to him, so Jae-young looked at Tan with suspicious eyes and asked. At that question, Tan put on a puzzled expression for a moment, then spoke with a shameless face. Isnt that obvious? Of course, the best talent should be assigned to the owner. No matter how forcibly I was forced into a contract with a familiar, I am a faithful devil to the contract. Damn it. What the fuck! If you dont tell me honestly, will you leave it to L? That''s...! Tan is always intent on extorting probability. He reacted violently to Jae-young''s words because he hated dying the probability he didn''t get passed on to that damn chicken. 5 4 3 2 1..... Ah! okay! You can''t tell! At Jae-young''s questioning, Tan eventually gives a white g. As Jaeyoung looked at him, Tan let out a deep sigh and started talking. That''s... he''s good at his job, but it''s a bit of a headache because the guys belowin so much about him. dissatisfaction....? That''s... When you''re doing business with humans, sometimes you try to twist and inte the things you need in moderation, and there are things like this. No matter how good the original performance is, it won''t be long before it goes back to you. So at a level where I dont cross the line to a certain extent, I know the difficult situation, so I tend to close my eyes and move on. Tan''s story seems to be filled with the joys and sorrows of a salesperson. While listening to the story, Jaeyoung tilted his head at the strange feeling of difference, but continued to listen to Tan. By the way... they say he never tolerates twisting at all. They say that recently, even with themander of the corps, he had a st doing all sorts of shit while arguing about breaking the rules. Thorough FM. A devastating principled person who gave away the extreme initiative and flexibility. While listening to Tan''smentation, Jaeyoung thought. Isn''t that the absolute best...?'' Anyway, the only person who can enter this rarity is Jaeyoung himself. On top of that, Jaeyoung decided that she was a perfectionist who perfectly provides thorough inventory management and customized services. okay. Let''s do it. really....? Seeing Jaeyoung willingly epting the fact that even he, the demon king, told him about the strictness that gave him a headache, Tan asked with a puzzled look. I also lent you the Deathbringer, so I think it''s a return for that. Broken Deathbringer. Because it was all thanks to those pieces, and because it was after he acquired an enormous amount of wealth that he couldn''t afford even if it wasn''t probable, Jae-young was more generous than ever. Then, riding on Jaeyoung''s horse, he roamed around pping the wings of the bat as if excited. Kya! You are the owner too! What do you know! I don''t know how much he intends to eat it, but when Jaeyoung smiles happily at Tan, who is running amok with excitement, L suddenly starts pulling at the nape of his clothes. hmm? What''s wrong, El? L looks like he has something to say. She asked, looking at Jaeyoung with a frown as if she didn''t like it. Me? huh....? That bastard bat didnt do anything except lend you the Deathbringer, right? But I came up with a strategy, gave advice on what to do, and even lent Orca''s power to it. And besides... L started to talk about the things he worked hard for this job. The words were long, but in the end it meant to be straightforward and to ask for a certainty for himself as well. Ha... hey. Take care, you fucking chicken. Is it the same as lending me shoes and just opening my mouth a few times and lending some strength? Hmm... Ive done more than a bat like you, right? Damn it. Didn''t I lend you my power? Do you not know where that dragon yer belonged? Yeah, I cant hear you. Ah, this crazy bitch will never look good on others. If you twist it, you can open a round. Shall we try chicken for dinner tonight? How about eating in hell tonight? Roaring. Woo woo woo. Suddenly, Tan and L red at each other, condensing hellfire and torch in their hands. After a brief battle of nerves, Jaeyoung smiled bitterly when he saw these two rushing at each other and starting a fight again. Looking at the two supreme beings who seem to be crazy about probability and be more childish than elementary school students. Chapter 178 Chapter 178 ident Handling Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Having be the head of this huge corporation in her early 30s, she was preupied with watching the TV set on one side of her office. Hmm... Looks like the aftermath is worse than I thought. It is an event that receives tremendous attention from people, even upying the front page of newspapers, including the 9 o''clock news every day. It was about the tragedy that urred in Ban, amercial city located on the Japanese continent. - The sudden appearance of dragons. what is that entity? -Banpletely turned into ruins. Japanese users suffered astronomical damage. -Capturing the situation that a famous gamer deliberately nned this incident. Precision analysis! - Horny Japanese users. Notice before ss action. Ben, where a huge number of users settled and were active. Since it was an economic hub and one of the core cities of the entire continent, when it waspletely ruined, the damage naturally flowed to the users. -Chick Show! my quest! Where did the NPC with friendship go? -Shit! What is the market price of items sold in stores these days? They all skyrocketed! - It seems that all the merchants have died and the logistics have beenpletely paralyzed. -That''s not the problem. Right now, it seems that all of the trade items and gold that therge merchants have umted in Ben have been blown away. -??? What do you mean? -I don''t know. Anyway, for now, it seems certain that it has be X. Although the general public did not know, Arcadia''s system was not as easy as expected. Politics, diplomacy, culture, society, agriculture, economy, military, technology, administration.... And the NPCs who have been doing thoseplicated and boring things and who are originally residents of this world. When all of these NPCs were killed in an instant, this delicate system faced a huge crack in an instant. Analyze the damage situation on the third continent of Ellis. An order from President Lee Mi-yeon of Level 1 management authority. At her question, the ck screen monitor immediately turned on, and Alice began to report the analyzed data in detail. [68% of Arcadia''s third continent logistics system is paralyzed. 3 Large Caravans and 52 Medium Caravans lost all of their goods and gold stored in Ben. Also.....] The data on the current state of damage that is so dense that there is no end in sight. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was looking at it quickly and estimating the extent of the damage, shook her head with a tired expression and said. Oh... it''s definitely worse than I thought ..... The merchants who made the economy and logistics of the Japanese continent run smoothly. The genocide of nobles and envoys who represented each country and acted as diplomats. In addition, the disappearance of Ben, a peaceful neutral zone created by the agreement of all the kingdoms of the continent. The economy and logistics were paralyzed, and even the talented people who would be responsible for smoothmunication between countries were all killed in droves. That''s why Alice was able to predict the theme of the next main scenario that would happen so easily. [Possible Main Scenario Continental War.] It is not a general local battle, but a scenario that is too harsh for Japanese users who have just opened less than a year ago that the kingdoms and empires of the entire continent go to war. As a result of this, she confirmed that not only users on the Japanese continent but also various kingdoms and empires were in great confusion, and she put her hand on her head as if it was a headache and frowned. Haa..... At that time, I should have retrieved that bastard''s bamboo spear somehow... The strongest and worst bamboo spear ever created by the Korean branch. Even though President Lee Mi-yeon personally stepped forward and made it a one-time consumable item, the fact that such a huge disaster was eventually created made me feel regret. No..... If I had rejected even that offer then, what would I really have been doing? It''s terrifying to think about. I can''t help what has already happened, but now, with a sense of relief that something like this will never happen again, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a bright expression. Can you hook me up with Alice Jack? [Please wait a moment.] Jack, Arcadia''s creator and de facto chief operator. After President Lee Mi-yeon asked to connect with him. Soon after, a blonde foreigner appeared on the monitor. [uh? It''s been a while, Mr. Lee Mi-yeon? What''s wrong?] Jack greets her with a bright smile as if asking what happened to her. Seeing his smile, President Lee Mi-yeon let out a deep sigh and cried out in pain. ...What is it? Of course, because of what happened on the Third Continent. Jack knows very well why he contacted him, but pretends not to know. He smirked at President Lee Mi-yeon''s words and replied with a smirk. [Ah, that''s what I mean. how is it? Aren''t things really fun?] Jack, Arcadia is the whole world. As the creator of everything himself, to him, the world, which is chaotic with huge unpredictable events every day, was an interesting sight not to be missed. And as if seeing through his thoughts, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a bitter smile. It''s Jack, because you don''t have to go out in front of the press and deal with horny customers. But do you know how hard the staff, including me, are sweating to fix this? A farce from afar. A tragedy if you look closely. The images of the employees trying to protect thepany''s interests while struggling among the angry customers and the reporters and media who even stalked to get even a piece of rted information were pitiful, but they saw this mess from afar. It''s a fun situation to the point where those who watch it go to the popcorn by themselves. And Jack was obviously enjoying it from the third person''s point of view, eating popcorn and watching the situation. [Wha... isn''t that part already expected? So, I know that the branch managers of each branch were also notified of rted matters in advance?] ...That was about continental integration, not dragon hunting or destroying Ben. I don''t know about the other branches, but the Japanese branch is going crazy beyond control. CEO Lee Mi-yeon shook her head and muttered as if thinking about it gave her a headache. And as if she immediately remembered, she went through the stack of papers and continued talking. And... I checked the rewards from this dragon raid that went back to that user named Dex... Is this right now in my mind? Are you giving away ownership of the rare? Kerbenian, an ancient dragon-ss dragon who has lived for thousands of years. After confirming that the user had monopolized all the astronomical goods that had been collected over the years, President Lee Mi-yeon looked at the list in amazement and said, Even the amount of gold you possess is at the level of exceeding a trillion units..... In addition to the legendary and unique items that have not yet been properly solved, as well as the 9th circle magic book... Do you know what will happen? A huge amount that may cause hyperintion beyond suppressing the gold price, which is soaring in madness at once. In addition, it is clear that various bnce problems will be triggered, such as a sharp increase in the power gap between users through various rare items. [Well... I think it''s too much, but it was originally a reward you would receive from hunting a dragon. Of course, I never thought I would catch such a ruthless bastard by myself, so I didn''t expect to take it all by myself..... But you can''t reduce the reward, right? ] can''t you? Did you know that yer is only 20 years old now? If there is any attempt to turn this into cash, it is certain that the Korean government will start with the tax issue again and start regting it. The Korean government still sticks to a negative attitude regarding virtual reality. President Lee Mi-yeon did not want to make a noise by giving him room to be bitten, but Jack''s position was firm. [It can''t be. It''s not that I didn''t use an illegal method, but I got a legitimate reward, so I''m going to reduce it at will? You can''t do that even with super administrator privileges. Isn''t that right, Alice?] [The user already has an assurance that he ispletely exempt from any direct and intentional unfavorable patches and adjustments made by President Lee Mi-yeon. Also, although the top manager''s ex officio authority can adjust the rtedpensation contents, I believe that he will not exercise that authority.] [ As expected, Alice understands my feelings the best. Thank you.] [Not much to say.] Jack and Alice get along so well. Looking at the two, Lee Mi-yeon let out a deep sigh. I expected that he wouldnt help, but... If thats the case, theres nothing I can do about it. [What are you going to do?] Systemically, it''s a very legitimate situation with nothing to do. However, it was an issue that could turn into another nuclear bomb if left alone, so CEO Lee Mi-yeon stood up and said as if she had made up her mind on something. I''m going to meet that friend named Dex and talk to him. [Where? in real life? There must be a lot of eyes to see, but is it possible?] Arcadia Co., Ltd., a global super-giantpany. As the general manager of thepany, President Lee Mi-yeon''s influence and position were so powerful that no one could ignore them, so it was very conspicuous for her to personally visit each user. That''s why Jack held her back with a slightly concerned expression. [Even inside thepany, no one should know about the user''s personal information..... Can you move without anyone noticing the assistant or staff? ] Employees had a few targets to sh the mace of the permanent van, sharpening their vengeful knives and grinding their teeth far in their hatred. Among them, Dex is always on the list of targets to be eradicated. Jack was negative at the thought that his presence would be exposed to the employees, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon said with a strange smile. Oh, don''t worry about that. There are many ways to naturally meet that friend. [Yes...?] Unlike other ordinary people, he unexpectedly has a close cooperative rtionship with Arcadia Co., Ltd. President Lee Mi-yeon, who never showed it to anyone, but personally watched the rted reports with interest, said to Jack, who asked with an expression as if what he was talking about. That friend has a lot more potential than I thought, right? He has an incredibly high synchro rate, and his game skills are outstanding... Turns out, he''s also attending a university that has an industry-academia partnership with ourpany. [Hehe... was it?] Yoon Jae-young is just a 20-year-old outside of Arcadia. Since he didn''t know much about him, Jack muttered that he was interested in President Lee Mi-yeon''s words. And she was thinking of making him an offer. First... I n to meet him outside the game and have a sincere conversation. If we are cooperative, we can at least prevent further chaos from spreading. President Lee Mi-yeon, who makes every effort to reduce the damage somehow. But at her words, Jack licked his lips and muttered something regretful. [Shit..... It''s fun to buy and y more.....] Hmm? What did you just say? President Lee Mi-yeon, who is smiling but full of cold energy. Seeing her like that, Jack smiled awkwardly and shook his head. [Nothing.] Chapter 179 Chapter 179 Cooperation A project promoted by Arcadia Co., Ltd. Glory of the past. Jaeyoung and Jaekyun are participating in this project to recreate the IP of a poprputer game in the past in virtual reality. Jaeyoung was personally experiencing the first result created by Jaekyun and the entire design team. [Nexus destroyed. Blue team wins!] [The game ends.] Those who formed a team of 5 and finished one game and came out of the capsule. In an awkward atmosphere where no one spoke as if everyone hadplicated thoughts, Jaeyoung first talked about his honest ying experience. Hmm... Its worse than I thought, isnt it? Jae-Young gave his impressions as he felt without paying any attention. Seeing him like that, those who participated in the y began to talk about their honest thoughts one by one. Isnt it? Am I the only one who thought so? That''s right..... The action is gorgeous and the graphics are fantastic... It''s aparison, but there is Arcadia, but it''s too hard to y this game... Everyone who has a virtual reality connector has Arcadia Users with experience ying . Therefore, their expressions became serious as they knew that simply bringing back nostalgia for old popr games would only evoke a brief repercussion and would not secure a fixed user base. First of all, I think the big problem is that the skills and all motions that can be used in abat situation are fixed. Unlike Arcadia, where you can move freely and actively and create various situations, it feels like you are using a doll rather than your own body....? Anyway, I think the fun of control is halved a lot. that''s right. It''s not only that the sense of control and the taste of battle are degraded, but the method of strengthening through items only increases stats, right? How can I say it..... As the game progresses, it seems that it bes a battle of shame rather than individual yer abilities... Hmm... It seems to be a problem thates from bringingputer games as they are. It just feels like a very good old game with just the graphics, and I don''t think I''ll be able to get my hands on it. A problem that urred because theputer game was brought in as it is. With the help of Jaekyun, the graphics themselves were implemented into a world full of realism, but the systemic parts in it were not touched at all, so when I actually yed it, there were not one or two problems. And it was Yang Min-hyeok, manager of the design & development team who led the project, who was taken aback by the staff''s harsh criticism. Isnt that fun? Rather than saying its not fun... Um... why do you have Arcadia? It feels like this... Isnt that not fun? ..... Unable to say that it is not fun, the employees are silent and looking at each other. Looking at their attitude, manager Yang Min-hyeok muttered with a dejected expression on his face. Haha..... It''s ruined now..... I asked the boss to leave it to me with so much excitement... Manager Yang Min-hyeok confidently announced this project at the general meeting and confidently received permission. Considering the schedule of the Game Festa, which is less than a month away, it was almost impossible topletely rece the game''s system, so he had to choose one. Go to the president and other executives and ask them to postpone the deadline for the project. Or, as it is now, open it to Game Festa and pray that the public''s evaluation will be good. Hey Jaekyung. Still, the skill implementation was very tasty. Did you do your research hard? Hehe... I checked each champion''s skill effect one by one at home. Somehow... it seemed like they put a lot of effort into it. Thank you for noticing. Whether or not Yang Min-hyeok knows that Manager Yang''s stomach is burning. The two were chatting in a friendly atmosphere. And behind them, there was one who suddenly appeared. Oh my God, why are the departments here so huddled together? Sa boss! omg! Oh hello! President Lee Mi-yeon, who shows her face with a kind, bright smile. Upon seeing her, Manager Yang Min-hyeok, with a white face as if he had seen a ghost, ran out and all the staff bowed at 90 degrees and looked at each other. Jaeyoung and Jaegyun were also swept away by the atmosphere, got up from their seats, and looked at their eyes. We were just demoing a game we were developing and discussing feedback on it. Ah, you mean the project you talked aboutst time? how is it? Is everything going smoothly? President Lee Mi-yeon asked a question with a smile. At that moment, in that fleeting moment that feels like an eternity to manager Yang Min-hyeok, he chose one of the two options and closed his eyes tightly. That''s right! The entire department is doing their best to meet the project deadline by working overtime! for your own eternity. And for the sake of the team members who believed in him and followed him, Manager Yang Min-hyuk had to make this project unconditional. Therefore, he shouted with determination to make the most of the remaining time to fix the problems. And at his answer, Lee Mi-yeon nodded with a satisfied smile. Its nice to see. I like the content of the project, and seeing all of you full of passion, I look forward to seeing how the public will react to the game called League of Legends in virtual reality. Anyway... I''m watching with interest, so make sure you finish well until the end. yes! All right! By the way... can I borrow this friend for a while? yes....? Are you talking about student Jaeyoung? ...cant you? Oh no! It''s possible! Dont be! President Lee Mi-yeon suddenly looks at Jae-young and wants to take her with him for a while. Everyone froze for a moment at thepletely unexpected question. What happened... Oh, it''s nothing special. I have a few questions about Seomin University. Seomin University was the first among universities to conclude industry-university cooperation. No one seemed to doubt Lee Mi-yeon''s statement that she had something to ask Jae-young, who was studying there, but Jae-young hesitated and followed her. Would you like something to drink? coffee? green tea? Or juice? Jae-young follows her into her office. He blurted out when President Lee Mi-yeon asked for something to drink. Coffee..... Im sitting and rxing. It will burn soon. President Lee Mi-yeon pours water into the coffee maker ced on one side and makes coffee while humming. Jaeyoung, who looked at her and looked around, was just awkward at the current situation, which didn''t suit her at all. sleep. ...The coffee is also brewed by the owner himself. Dont you have a separate secretary? Oh, of course there is a secretary. But today is a special situation, so I told you not to go to work. I told all the executives who frequented my office, including this floor, not toe out. ....why? Thats because no one should see the two of us meeting Jaeyoung student... No, Dex customer. ...Did you know? Instead of being surprised, as if his ominous intuition was right, Jae-young answers more calmly than ever. In response to his reply, CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled lightly and nodded her head. Sure. I''m the president, but I don''t know the user information? The other employees didnt know at all, so I thought no one knew. Hoho, thats of course. How many employees want to permanently suspend Dex''s ount? I dont know, but if Jaeyoung knew that he was Dex, he probably wouldnt be able to walk out of thispany on his own two feet. ...Have you had a lot of idents? It''s not evenparable to when I received the bamboo spear as a reward the other day. It does. As if it was fun, Jaeyoung smiled and said without knowing. President Lee Mi-yeon looked at him with strange eyes and then muttered to herself. Anyway, it''s all the same fun... Yes? it''s nothing. Rather... How does it feel to be the richest person in Arcadia history? ...Actually, I dont know. Goods that exist in virtual data. Of course, in reality, its value is recognized by the public, but the amount of gold acquired was so enormous that it was beyond imagination, so Jae-young did not touch reality well with honest feelings. Hmm... First of all, to be honest, I won''t make any adjustments to thepensation. The rewards obtained this time were created due to the fault of thepany, although there is a slight difference of opinion as to whether the reward that should have been originally given when the dragon was caught is correct and the method of catching the dragon ispletely justified. President Lee Mi-yeon, who did not expect that he would do such an amazing job with a bamboo spear. As for her, she had no choice but to acknowledge Jaeyoung''s ability. To be honest... after looking closely at the process, I have no choice but to admit it. To be honest, the job of being a wanderer in turbulent times is not all-round, and the penalties are horrendous, but the process of oveing all of them feels amazing even when I see it. A wandering song in the hidden ss turmoil. It is true that it is a job with infinite possibilities, to the extent that the word fraudes out aloud if probability is guaranteed. However, instead, the level does not exist, so the existing abilities are horrendously low. So, if you don''t have a certain level of probability, you be a character who can''t do anything. However, the student in front of me achieved the current feat by digging through loopholes in the game and system at a phenomenal level from such a precarious tightrope. His talent is too overwhelming to be called just a job. So CEO Lee Mi-yeon looked at Jae-young and asked. The Sajok is getting too long. First of all, the reason I called Jaeyoung right now is because I have a favor to ask of you. ...a request? A request from the president of Arcadia. Jaeyoung gave her an uneasy look at her words, which were full of suspicious feelings. It''s not too difficult. It''s just that if I''m going to do something big sometimes in the game, I''ll give me a word in advance, or if I''m earnestly asking for something, I''ll restrain myself a little... or something like that. You mean... you mean you''re going to intervene in my y within Arcadia? To put it simply, she said to do it in moderation. Jaeyoung''s expression became serious because it was the words of the president in charge of Arcadia, not someone else. Then CEO Lee Mi-yeon hurriedly waved her hand as if not to misunderstand. I''m not threatening you, so don''t misunderstand. It''s just... I want to do business with Jaeyoung. A deal? Hmm... How should I say... You know that student Jaeyoungs influence within Arcadia is stronger and greater than any other user, right? nod It''s hard to admit to yourself, but it''s true. In particr, there was no doubt that it was a situation where he could not dare topare with other users even more now, when he had obtained great wealth and probability. It seems clear that it will continue to maintain its strong influence in the game... As the person in charge of thispany, it is necessary to adjust the level of these huge events to some extent. Well... that''s understandable. If you ept the deal with me... President Lee Mi-yeon said in a sweet voice, looking at Jae-young with sparkling eyes. I will try to be a strong support for student Jaeyoung in real life. The strongest user of virtual reality and the president of a real giantpany. The secret (?) cooperative rtionship between the two of this strangebination was established that day. Chapter 180 Chapter 180 No. don''t change Returning to Washington DC, the center of world politics and the federal capital of the United States of America, the headquarters of Arcadia Co., Ltd. has been in a tense atmosphere for the first time in a long time. ha ha ha. Greetings after a long time, sir. Long time no see, Alex. Hasn''t anything happened here in the meantime? No big deal, but I took care of the little things on my own. We periodically reported rted matters via e-mail... have you checked it? Ho-ho-ho. I think Alex handled everything well. President Lee Mi-yeon smiles and answers when asked if she has opened the e-mail. But as if he was used to such a reaction, Alex nodded as if he knew that. You didnt even open it. Knowing that, I prepared a brief report on it, so please take a look at it when you go back to Koreater. Alex pushes dozens of papers to President Lee Mi-yeon when an employee waiting on one side drags a cart. Seeing him like that, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a tearful face. No Alex. When are you going to finish reading this? I only picked out issues that the boss shouldnt know about. No matter how much I act as an acting authority when the CEO is absent, since it has been such a long time since I stopped by the head office, you should see the work you have not done so far. Haa... that''s why I don''te here often. If you donte regrly, I will visit you myself from now on. Please dont do that, Alex. It''s because I''m busy and bothered enough by what''s going on in Korea. President Lee Mi-yeon sighs and mumbles with a tired face. Looking at her like that, Alex asked with a slightly serious expression. There has been a lot of noise internally and externally because of what is happening in Arcadia these days. Thats right... Japan is in a serious situation. Even while the CEO was away, calls continued toe to the head office strongly protesting. A lot of that too. Not only the Korean branch where President Lee Mi-yeon is located, but also the Japanese branch, which tried to contact the head office. Considering the situation of the Korean branch, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a slightly apologetic look, thinking that more would be more, not less. Im sorry about that. Even if I wanted toe forward and sort things out myself, it was a difficult situation to do so. Alex shook his head with a small smile as if his heart was relieved a little by President Lee Mi-yeon''s sincere apology. Its okay if you know. And anyway, now that things have gone this way, wouldn''t that mean nothing? Governor Kazuki requested a meeting of the board of directors regarding this issue, so it will be resolved smoothly ording to the issues decided therein. Is that so? Still, it''s been a long time since I''ve been in the board of directors. Is this the second time since the first meeting? That''s right. Unlike otherpanies where the board of directors is held periodically to deal with various agendas, it is a deformedpany in which the board of directors is never convened unless requested. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon said with a smile on her face as if she was looking forward to it. Still, since I came to the US after a long time, after the conference, I should go around and travel a bit. Can you rmend some good tourist spots around Alex? President Lee Mi-yeon is full of thoughts that she will drink sweet water as much as possible aftering here. However, Alex put a condition on her request. of course. If you finish reviewing the documents I gave you, I will prepare a course that will satisfy you. Ugh... are you really like this? yes. It will be like this. Rather... I think the meeting will start now, so please go in. CEO Lee Mi-yeon entered the conference room, pushed back by Alex. As she entered the room, what she saw were executive director Kwon Myung-han, Japanese branch manager Kazuki, and directors appointed by the three major shareholders. As President Lee Mi-yeon, who appearedst, sat down, the employee in charge of the meeting stood with a nervous face and slowly began to exin the meeting agenda. From now on, we will begin the emergency board meeting convened at the request of Kazuki Japan. The purpose of the meeting is to mediate the recent dispute between continents within Arcadia, and the detailed agenda is for users ying in the second continent that is being serviced in Korea... The agenda for the meeting is densely written. The requests filled with resentment and hatred from the Japanese branch, including Kazuki, were literally full of retaliatory measures against the Korean branch and the user. If you look at the written opinion attached by Director Kazuki, it says that the Korean branch maliciously provided internal disclosure for the convenience of a specific user in order to maliciously interfere with the Japanese branch and users'' y... With evidence to prove this, Is there? Director Richard appointed by Corporation Argos. No matter how much he read it, he looked at his opinion, full of conspiracy theories, and asked with an expression that he couldn''t understand, but Governor Kazuki had already lost his mind in anger. Under the circumstances, this is impossible. Crucially, just looking at the item called the bamboo spear, which was given as an event reward for the so-called Jukchang Daejeon, an event hosted in the Korean continent, you can tell how long the Korean branch has been nning and preparing for the terrorist act against the Japanese branch. Besides, opening the content called Continental Shift through the region called Caribbean? In the eyes of the directors, do you think this is easily possible without users knowing insider information? ...So you''re saying there''s no special evidence. Still, there are certainly a number of suspicious circumstances. In the case of this item called bamboo spear, it will note out unless you intentionally try to create a situation like this... What on earth were you thinking of nning such a crazy event in the Korean continent? Unlike Richard, the director of Silicoff has doubts about this situation. Looking at the rted conference materials with cold eyes, she looked at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was sitting in a steadfast posture, and asked. Let me exin. I can''t ept the Japanese branch''s allegation straight away, but I think I''ll have to hear the Korean branch''s position on this absurd situation. In response to her strict request for rification, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han began to talk about the position of the Korean branch on this situation with a sad face. This incident in the Japanese continent has nothing to do with the Korean branch. However, we acknowledge our mistake in the fact that an item with a problem with the bnce of bamboo spears ended up in the hands of users, and on behalf of the Korean branch, we apologize to the branch manager Kazuki, Japanese users, and Japanese branch staff. I express my deep regret. ...Is that all? That''s right. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han! You guys are still there! Are you still denying the truth aftering all this way! Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who does not admit any wrongdoing except for the bamboo spear. Governor Kazuki reacted violently to his remarks and growled, but then President Lee Mi-yeon opened his mouth. What Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han said is true. ...? What is that...? At the sudden deration, everyone''s eyes turned to Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany. And she smiled and continued the story. I cant disclose the relevant user information here, but its something I personally checked. From the continent where the user originally yed, to the third continent where Japanese users y, and to hunt dragons there. I didn''t find any problems in all the series of ys, and they were all the results he got through a legitimate process. In this part, Alice also agreed, so you can trust it. I am not convinced! They just tell you to believe it without providingplete information and y history about the user. Do you know how much damage Japanese users have suffered to go on like that! The atmosphere in the conference room turns against President Lee Mi-yeon''s words. Because of that, Governor Kazuki, who lost hisposure, raised his voice to the point of being rude and argued, but she didn''t even raise an eye. Ah, I think the information that is open to the general public will suffice. It''s a famous channel of Arpendia. Have you seen it? It is said to be the daily life of a destroyer. If you want to check the y information, check out the video posted there. It''s pretty exciting, so you''ll be watching it without losing track of time. Branch manager Kazuki trembles with his whole body, unable to control his anger as if he is being teased. He eventually lost his temper and had to say something he should never have said. No matter how Korean the president is, it''s not okay to operate in a biased way to favor Korean users! ..... Until now, there were thoughts that Director Kazuki had buried deep in his heart and could not bear to bring out. It is a suspicion that Korean President Lee Mi-yeon is deliberately intervening in this situation in a biased way to disadvantage Japan. However, I knew that I should never express it out of my mouth, so I had been burying it until now, but due to the momentary, uncontroble anger that rose up, I took it out of my mouth without realizing it. And with those words, the meeting room froze in an instant. Director Kwon Myung-han, who was staring at him with a face as if his eyes were about to pop out of surprise, and Director Kazuki, who instantly regained consciousness at the eyes of the director, who seemed to linger in the cold air from the Arctic, said, stammering, unable to hide his embarrassment. No, I mean... so... Im sorry. It looks like you just misunderstood. Branch manager Kazuki, who tried to make an excuse for something, but quickly gave up and apologized. However, the reaction of the board of directors had to be cold unlike before because it was impossible to pick up what had already been said. Heh heh..... I can''t believe the president is biased toward running thepany because he''s Korean. Is this what a branch manager would say? The agent of Ajin Electronics, who had been silent until now, said a word as if scolding him. And the other directors also nodded in agreement. It''s disappointing. The head of the branch in charge of the Japanese branch is this much. The logic itself is weak. It is said that there are too many protests from Korean users due to this situation.... Why would the Korean branch deliberately do something to insult them? It is foolish to look at this situation through a narrow racist lens. ..... A board of directors convened at his request. However, as soon as it turned into a hearing where he was beat up excitedly for saying the wrong thing once, Governor Kazuki was about to die. Sorry! I''m really sorry, boss. Branch manager Kazuki suddenly got up and apologized while knelt down and togeza. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was watching him silently, said with a smile as if she had decided on something. ...Considering the chaotic situation in Japan, let''s just skip this mistake. However, I will dismiss the agenda of the Japanese branch manager Kazuki Kazuki, who requested the convening of the board of directors this time, in my own right. ..... Do you have a director with a different opinion? No objection. I agree. Heh heh... I agree. Then... lets end this meeting with this. Everyone has worked hard toe a long way. Dissolved meeting with the consent of the three directors. President Lee Mi-yeon approached Branch Manager Kazuki, who was still putting his head down, and lifted him up and whispered with a grin. Director Kazuki? It''s not the time to be like this. You have to go to work quickly. President Lee Mi-yeon whispers to me to hurry up and clean up this mountain of shit. Seeing her like that, Governor Kazuki realized. The fact that President Lee Mi-yeon is also secretly enjoying the current situation. Chapter 181 Chapter 181 The hideout needs maintenance (1) [32 messages have arrived.] [Please check the message.] ...What is this? As soon as you log into the game, the status window pops up in front of you. Jaeyoung, who inadvertently opened the note box, was able to see long messages filled with questions from people registered as friends with him. [Angelina: ??? What the hell are you doing? A dragon?] [Kasiyasu: ....I thought I was strong enough to deal with it, but I think it''s stillcking. Let''s work a little harder to be stronger.] [Namyeonyatongson: Hyung! brother! I watched the video in real time. It''s really cool!] [Lemon & Apple: Dex-sama, this is Dex-sama, right? No, catching a dragon with that bamboo spear. How long have you been nning this? Rather... did you get some dragon scales or something? If you n to sell things like rewards, if you leave it to us, we''ll do our best...] Those who didn''t send any special notes even after liberating the Caribbean and moving to another continent. However, as if he couldn''t stand the dragon raid this time, he was scrambling to send him a message. And Jaeyoung sighed in relief at the game system, where he couldn''t send notes unless he was registered as a friend. ...If anyone could have sent a note, it would have been a mess. A situation often encountered in PC games. Messages indiscriminately sent by unknown users to add friends, invite to a party, or request to join a guild. Jaeyoung smiled with satisfaction at Arcadia''s closedmunity system, as there were several cases where the game itself was thrown out like bombs to the point where it was impossible to y it. Hey, master. Why are you splitting it up like that? Is there anything good? Good things....? Um... it should be there. dragon hunt. Jaeyoung''s video, which was updated under the name Kill the Dragon, brought a huge shockwave to Arfandia as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped. [So, if you don''t want to be killed like a dog in vain, attack with all your might, you bastard lizard.] A dragon, a supreme being and a transcendent species. No one was astonished by his monstrous y, where a human being would be terrified and crawl on the floor just to face it, and to be equal against such a powerful being... no, with pure skill, driving him into a corner. -No, what the hell is that a move that makes sense! -Are you the only one who evaded the damage by digging into the blind spot of the magic damage range? -lol. The pattern is crazy, really. - What''s the matter, even a wizard is very strong in closebat. - Shit, that''s possible because it''s a dragon. A feast of magic pouring down without hesitation. Those who saw the situation from the point of view of Jae-young again, the fatal blows that could kill them instantly with just one hit, their hands were wet with sweat without realizing it. And..... Fu-wook. -??? what did i just see? - Wow..... Is this a true story? - Control crazy! No, what the hell is reaction speed timing!! When Jae-young finally breaks through his shield andnds a fatal blow to the chest. they were dismayed [You fool, human. Did you believe that you could dare to kill me with a little special strength?] -Wow..... How do you catch this? - It''s beyond the line of a gamepany. is this a bit harsh? - Angry! I can''t die! Returning to the main body, he despaired of the power of an ancient dragon that spreads disastrous magic. [Everyone is in one room in front of the bamboo spear.] Fu-wook. The moment I stabbed a bamboo spear into his stomach, I cheered. - Dex is awesome!!!!!! -I believed you!!!!!! -Tear your panties!!!!! wow wow!!!!! [Number of views: 1453215424] A video that achieved an unbelievable number of views of 1.4 billion. Considering that it has been less than 3 days since the video was uploaded and the fact that its rise is still growing exponentially, it was certain that this video will set an unprecedented record in Arfandia and be fixed at #1 in the rankings forever. [Choco Paijoa is really great. This video.... Be sure to say thank you to Dex for entrusting us with it. Thank you so much.] CEO Seo-Wook Cho was so moved that he called me to say thank you. In this way, Jae-young gained an iparable reputation. Both inside and outside Arcadia, he was literally in his prime, so he couldn''t help but smile. Rather than that... this is Dragon Heart...? The crystal in Jaeyoung''s hand was sparkling with intense red light. When he opened the detailed description window, feeling the heat like a zing me, he couldn''t help but stick his tongue out at the tremendous ability. [Ancient Dragon''s Heart - Myth] The heart of a red dragon that has preserved its magical power umted over thousands of years. This heart, which can hold infinite mana, is the best material that everyone wants, and the power will not be easily granted to those who cannot afford it. -Permanently increases magic power when taken (100000 ~ ????). -When taken, [Celestial Dragon Body] [Magic Control] [High Intelligence] acquired. -Can be used as a material when crafting. -????? A dragon heart that is both an edible consumption item and a crafting material. Jaeyoung, who turned it around and examined it carefully, muttered with curious eyes. Hmm... can I eat...? Magical power that is closely rted to magic damage as well as the maximum amount of mana that can use magic. I was slightly seduced by the fact that it increased this mana by at least 100,000 and gave three passive skills that seemed special just by hearing the name. However, L and Tan were surprised by Jaeyoung''s words and continued to dissuade them. Hey, master. Why are you eating that precious thing? it''s crazy? Eating dragon hearts? That''s also an ancient dragon''s...? That is really sinful. The two reacted violently, as if telling them not to even think about it. At the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung asked with a dumbfounded face. ...why are you so upset? How rare is that lizard''s heart? It must be made unconditionally. Do you know how much power increases tremendously when you use dragon hearts? that''s right. It''s only a fleeting moment in less than a hundred years that a mere human eats its heart, but a well-made powerful weaponsts forever. Just like the gods we have in heaven. In this case, if it wasn''t because of the world tree, we didn''t say much, we rushed to ask for it right away. But would you eat such a valuable thing? That really crosses the line. that''s right. Even Dex-sama, I can''t stand by tomit such a sin. Tan and L stare at Jae-young with a vicious atmosphere, as if they are going to take it out again even if they eat it. At the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung muttered with a face that he was tired of the chill he had never felt before. Who will eat it? I just did it. Jaeyoung puts the dragon heart back into his inventory. Then, the topic quickly changed. Rather than that... where are those kids I was talking aboutst time? Oh, the warehouse keeper? Wait..... Hey! Where is this bastard hiding? Tan looked around for something at Jaeyoung''s question. And soon, something suddenly jumped out of nowhere and began to plop down on the floor. Chuckling... the mighty ruler of the Demon Realm! Asmodian Crevinian de Glutni Barshomenia Ferdosken. I was checking the riches that exist in this treasury for a while. Forgive me for beingte in responding to your call. Forgive me and say hello. You are my contractor who will take care of you from now on. At Tan''s words, the demons quietly raised their heads and looked at Jaeyoung. Although he looked small and dwarfed like a goblin, he looked unusually like a demon for no reason. ...You are that vicious human who teaches all the demons in the demon realm the lessons that be flesh and blood. I too have always admired what true evil is in the story that Maou-nim tells me. From now on, I, Crevinian de Glutni Barshomania Ferdosken, swear that I will do my best to carry out the orders given to me... Why is this bastard''s name so unnecessarily long? I don''t know. It''s probably personal preference. I dont even remember his name. His name, which he couldn''t stand without even trying to get over it. Jaeyoung said while looking down at the demon who was lying on the floor and looking up. You''ll listen to my orders, right? That''s right! As a member of the proud Demon Tribe and the n of the great Gluttony, I swear that I will faithfully fulfill the mission entrusted to me. Please give me any orders. He speaks with a grim face as if he will do anything. Jaeyoung nodded his head as if he understood his promise and spoke seriously. okay. Then from now on, your name is Golden Goblin. ....yes? yellowish skin color. Small and skinny like a goblin. There was a name that came to mind as soon as he saw it, so Jae-young looked at him who couldn''t hide his embarrassment and said it again. You want to listen to any orders? Your name is Golden Goblin. That... Why? no? A golden goblin with an extremely disgusted expression. However, he had no choice but to lower his head as soon as he nced at Tan, who was ring at him with eyes that would tear him apart next to Jaeyoung. Oh no. Please call me whatever you want, master..... [The manager of the hideout has been designated.] [Current manager: Senior Demonic Golden Goblin.] With his words, a message floats in front of your eyes. The fact that this golden goblin was a high-ranking demon tribe, Jaeyoung looked back at Tan with a little surprise and asked. What is this guy, a high-ranking demon? uh. Even though it looks stupid, the bag strap is long. If it weren''t for that, you would have already been killed by the others a long time ago? Hmm..... You mean that guy is a member of the famous Gluttony n in that demon realm? It sure looks very peculiar. L was looking at the golden goblin brought by Tan with a curious look. Jaeyoung looked at L and asked. L So, who did you bring? Oh me? Wait a minute..... L, who was begging to show his probabilities as well. After a long fight, the conclusion that Jae-young came to was that he should bring one person from each world fairly. [It is undoubtedly true that both of you contributed greatly to catching that lizard, so bring one at a time. I''ll hire both of them fairly.] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. In response to Jaeyoung''s question, L began to draw a huge magic circle written in an unknownnguage in the air, emitting divine power. And looking at her like that, Tan and the Golden Goblin screamed in disgust. Keuk. You chicken bastard, distinguish the ce and let out that disgusting energy. Hey! Archangel''s divine power! L who opens the gate to heaven regardless of what these two demons say. And the existence that appeared in it was a beautiful knight with four white wings equipped with pure white armor and a huge greatsword. cooong. She slowly descended from the air andnded on the ground with a heavy sound. Then he opened his amber eyes and looked around. Are you here...? Where should I protect? that''s right. As if the story had already ended, the angel seemed to understand what he had to do. Then, she closed her eyes, thought about something, and looked at Jaeyoung and said. ...I guess I''ll have to tidy things up first. Excuse me for a moment. Dig. With those words, she disappeared in an instant. While Jaeyoung was panicking, he heard a strange roar from somewhere. Quaang. Kwak Kwa Kwam. Perong. What is it? Jaeyoung''s eyes seemed to ask what the situation was. El said with a smile as if it was no big deal. It''s because there is a fire giant''s habitat near this hideout. There''s nothing good about having strange little puppies hanging around, so I guess I''m cleaning it up. ..... The angel who started the massacre as soon as he arrived. But El asked with a proud smile as if he was proud of her. How... do you like it? He''s the guy I carefully selected and brought. So, in a volcanic area, rumors like a strange urban legend began to circte. It is an unbelievable rumor that if you stay in the vicinity for a long time, an angel with four white wings suddenly appears and starts killing without asking or asking. Chapter 182 Chapter 182 The hideout needs maintenance (2) [The hideout''s guardian has been registered.] [Current guardian: Advanced Angel Karel.] The angel Karel has returned after ughtering giants for a while. She said with a bright smile as she brushed off her greatsword, which was soaked in green bodily fluid presumed to be the giant''s blood. There are not that many living creatures roaming around here than I thought. It was easy to organize, perhaps because of the nature of living together. ...You killed all the giants? yes. They will never bother you again. Arcadia''s system where even the hunting grounds have their own ecosystem. Hearing her words that she had killed all the giants, Jaeyoung seemed to hear a system notification sound that he had missed. [Giant annihtion. Remaining poption: 0.] [Failed to meet the minimum conditions for habitat maintenance.] [Fire giant''s habitat is destroyed.] Jaeyoung has destroyed another hunting ground today. Of course, he didn''t directly induce it, so just hearing his name didn''t give him a nasty title, but Jaeyoung sighed and said. Haa... no, they''re giants. I think it wouldn''t matter if we just let them go, but why did you do that? I dont think we should leave unknown variables alone. ...Then you only have to kill those who approach this rare. The best defense is offense. It is better to go and attack first than to defend this ce from intruders. ..... The more we talk, the more Jae-young gets his head pounding. Soon, he looked at L without a word and protested why he brought such a screwed-up guy, but L shrugged his shoulders and said. What would you do if the adventurers came here to catch the giant and found this ce? They wouldn''t even die. The best thing to do is to make sure you don''t even get around this rare. Especially since all the barriers and guardians that Cervenian had previously installed disappeared. It may not be right now, but Jaeyoung had nothing more to say when he said that it was inevitable to minimize the risk of being exposed to monsters because they are users who go to hunt wherever there are monsters. Hey, did you see it? That''s right. Look closely at the viciousness of those chickens. Arent you saying that weve beencent up until now? I do not choose means and methods for efficiency. It is certainly surprising that such an idea of annihting a species woulde so naturally. Ive felt it for a long time, but are those bastards more vicious? We still don''t just kill and run around, do we? ...Its strangely self-important. I need to push myself a little harder. A situation without an answer in which the devil looks at the angel and reflects on the fact that their wickedness wascent and ruminates on a new resolution. Jaeyoung gave up on the probation at a situation where his mind was lost, and soon gave up and sighed with a resigned face. Yeah... Whatever it is, its fine, so take good care of this ce from now on. The two of you build up your pride and don''t fight and make a mess. ....All right. Let''s try... Fortunately, the golden goblin seemed to be nonbat, so Jaeyoung''s worries were lessened. He looked at Tan and El and said. Then are you both satisfied now? Ayu customer. Sure. Please continue to use our demon employment service. ...I''m satisfied too. [Aplex contract between the heavens and the demon world has been established.] [2,000,000 probabilities have been consumed.] [Contract period: 1 year] Damn the demon king and the archangel who steal 1 million probabilities in a year. It seemed clear to me that he would have done a great deal at a nce, but Jaeyoung didn''t say anything sad about it. Whatever it was, everything that Jaeyoung had been through so far was possible thanks to the help of the two, and it was because the probability was extremely high. Then shall we go back now? Where? Where are you? I have to go back to the maind. already? Can''t we just look around here a little longer? I''m tired of riding the boat again. Tan doesn''t like having to spend over a month trapped in a ship to move to the continent. However, despite hisints, Jaeyoung shook his head and said. no. I have to bring the heart to the World Tree quickly. why? Isn''t that urgent? The world tree that has lived for eternity since the creation of Arcadia until now. There was no way she would criticize why she had brought her heart until now, so Tan made an expression of iprehension, but he said with a strange smile. Besides the world tree, there are other people in a hurry. who....? There is something like that. Tan looks at himself with strange eyes as if he can''t understand. But Jaejoong didn''t say anything. Because it was obvious that I would not understand even if I exined it anyway. [Please bring the dragon heart to the World Tree as soon as possible.] The first request of President Lee Mi-yeon, asking for a secret partnership. It was to request that the unification of the entire continent proceed immediately. [Why?] [Otherwise... a bomb that shouldn''t explode in Japan right now will explode.] The influence of the city of Ban on the Japanese continent was greater than Jaeyoung thought. It was a city created under the agreement of all countries for the peace and stability of the entire continent, and it was also the center of logistics andmerce where the economic power of the entire continent was most concentrated. But such a city waspletely blown up overnight? There was no one who would leave the ce alone as it quickly became an ownerless ruin. [Send an investigation team right now. Thoroughly investigate all facts without any suspicion.] [Ban ispletely in ruins...? A dragon appears...? What the hell does that mean!] [Send all avable troops for now! You mustn''t let Amon take over Ben!] Whether it''s near Ben or a far-away kingdom on the periphery. Regardless of where, whether it is the military or the investigation team, I am anxious to put a spoon on it after sending it. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked Jae-young. [Even at this moment, all kinds of forces, including users, must be flocking to Ben. If you do something wrong, the situation will deteriorate to an irreversible level, but in my judgment, the best way to ovee this situation is for Jaeyoung to bring his heart to the World Tree. That too as soon as possible.] President Lee Mi-yeon said continental integration is the best way in the current situation. Jaeyoung had experienced simr situations in other RPG games before, so he could immediately sense what she meant. [Are you saying that amon enemy is needed to prevent internal fighting?] [That''s right. As usual, in the case of the Japanese continent, hostility and wariness toward other continents are quite strong because of the ck Pirates who dominated the seas of the Shoen Empire. If the distance to kingdoms or empires on other continents is closer than now, they will be a little more cautious.] [....There is a point.] The Shen Empire has already had a disgraceful experience of losing itsnd to pirates and the like. And other kingdoms that watched in real time as mighty empires were brutally defeated and beaten over and over again. Now everyone is willing to go to war to upy the territory of Ben located in the center of the continent, but if the integration between the continents takes ce, they will be a little hesitant. You never know what the consequences of unnecessary power consumption will be. Anyway... I''ll trust that the two of you will take good care of the hideout. Chuckling... I''ll make sure to manage it. Do not worry. I will make sure that no life forms can exist in this vicinity. The Golden Goblin and Karel confidently ask you to trust them. Jaeyoung tilted his head in a strange feeling, as if the lines between the two were reversed and said with a curious mind. Just in case, dont mess around here while the two of you are fighting. Then the contract is canceled immediately. flinch. hot. The angel and the devil nce at each other, both reacting violently to those words. And then, as if not to worry, he told Jaeyoung. I dont like it...but I get it. ...I''m only doing my duty. ...why are the answers so unreliable? An uneasy feeling that if you leave the two of them alone, Jae-young will be greeted by the destroyed hiding ce when they return. However, as if there was no need to worry about that, El flew over and whispered. Don''t worry, Dex. Maybe even if we fight, it won''t be a big deal. huh? How do you know that? El is so confident. Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled look at her words. Kamiel is specialized inbat even among high-ranking angels. In particr, it has a mission of punishment and punishment. It means that they possess overwhelming forcepared to other high-ranking angels. L brought the most battle-crazy angel when he asked for a trustworthy guardian to entrust him with the hideout. Jaeyoung was looking at her words with an absurd look, but L continued talking. But the guy who brought that bat ..... ..... Jaeyoung is confused about something. I wonder if this is really the sounding out of the archangel''s mouth, and a huge confusion is about toe to his values, but L said with a bright smile as if telling him not to worry. Perhaps if the two of them fight, the number of those bats will just turn to ashes in an instant? Jaejoong was convinced of this. Who knows, the personality of the person who designed this race of angels would never be at the level of a normal person. * * * Free City of Ban. The splendid and gigantic city waspletely destroyed by the catastrophic magic Kervenian poured out to his heart''s content, leaving only its ruins and traces. A city that waspletely wiped off the map overnight. A bloody war of nerves was taking ce here, which clearly showed the dragon''s strength and fear. Where are the Karven Kingdom guys hanging around here! Doesnt it go off? Its crazy and crazy! Duchy of Ivern! How do you guys get over here? Historically, this domain of Ban belonged to our principality! This must be the ce where you fucking bastards stole from us with the empire on their backs, you thieves! What is it? thief? These beggars... are you going to give it a try? joy! Lets show off our skills, okay? At this time, troops and delegations from all over the continent are rushing to Ben. The Karven Kingdom and Ivern Principality, which are closest to Ban, ran here with their troops faster than anyone else. In order to somehow im the rights of this ban as much as possible in the future. But... Unfortunately, the two forces arrived here at the same time. In addition, both of them had simr national power, so neither side made concessions and started to collide. Today I will wash away the shame of the past. We will raise our honor with your heads. p. Whoops. Thousands of soldiers grabbed weapons and stood on alert, wizards raised mana, and knights began to emit auras, a desperate situation. At this urgent moment, as if they were about to run into each other at any moment, the space in the center of these two forces began to shudder. Whoops. spot. ...? What is it? A Jae-young suddenly appears in the middle of the ruins where there was nothing. When everyone is looking at him with puzzled eyes. Having received thousands of stares, he looked around with troubled eyes and muttered. No, why are we fighting here anyway? fuck. Chapter 183 Chapter 183 Let''s Leave Witnesses The Kingdom of Calben and the Principality of Ivern. Jae-young, who was unintentionally involved in a war of nerves between these two countries, who were like enemies of the deadly enemy, regretted his actions in the past. Ah, did you think you should have checked after moving somewhere else? My head hurts for no reason..... As always, Jae-young is extremely reluctant to receive attention from others. However, he was so excited about Cervenian''s death and the fact that ownership of hisir passed to him that he made a very basic mistake. The mistake of moving directly to hisir, designated as air, without moving as far as possible from the ce where he killed the dragon. Because of that, he returned to the original ce again and got caught in the middle of the unidentified NPCs that had already gathered and drew a huge unwanted aggro. Moreover, it wasn''t just NPCs here. That guy! It''s Dex! Dex has appeared! That baby is the source of all this! You bastard! Ask my store! Kill! How dare you crawl back here! Do you know how much damage our guild has suffered because of you? Users who were holding a base in Ben. The anger of those who blew away all the foundations they had worked hard to build in virtual reality overnight was greater than expected. Is that the dragon yer...? what....? Mana isn''t good either...? Is that a real dragon yer? How is your physique? I think you''ll be lucky if you wield the sword properly. The armies of the Kingdom of Carben and the Principality of Ivern recognized the existence of Dex amidst the riots of adventurers who had already flocked to the Ban area. They tilted their heads in iprehension as they looked at him, who looked so unattractive. Arent the rumors wrong? You dont look like the legendary hero who caught the dragon...? In a state where he is not strengthening himself, Jaeyoung''s abilities are lower than those of ordinary users. That''s why they couldn''t clearly grasp Jae-young''s abilities, and they had doubts when they saw Jae-young''s weak appearance, which seemed so non-existent. For now, bring them to us. Lets meet and talk. Lets see if the rumors are false or true. No matter what, the soldiers approached Jaeyoung while blocking the angry users. Watching them slowly approach him, Jaeyoung muttered with a doubtful look on his face. what? The reason is unknown, but the troops approaching him with a wary atmosphere. I didn''t like this situation because I had a lot of sins, but they arrived at about the same time and asked. Are you the adventurer who caught the dragon? Follow me, adventurer. The Count wants to meet you in person. ..... Words thrown at Jaeyoung almost simultaneously. But he didn''t say anything because the situation was so absurd. Just staring at the equally oppressive and authoritative armies of the Principality of Ivern and the Kingdom of Karven with ridiculous eyes as if they had made a promise. ...Can''t you hear us? Hey what are you doing! Not following quickly! Those who growl at me, telling me not to procrastinate and follow me when I say good things. They gave off a threatening atmosphere, as if they were ready to go into a skill event if they rebelled even a little, and soon began to engage in a war of nerves again. We will take this adventurer. When you say nice things, go away. We can''t do that since we''ve been ordered to. This adventurer belongs to us. ...Are we really going to do it? There''s nothing else I can''t do. Sureureung. I don''t even think about the person who will give me rice cakes, but I''m already drinking a whole truckful of kimchi soup. I didn''t say I would follow you, but I was caught between the two who were about to start a fight, and I couldn''t do this or that, but suddenly amotion started from far away. Chick Show! Why are you guys blocking our revenge? Fuck! Are you ignoring adventurers? All off! If I block you, you guys won''t let it go either! Aww! Tenno Heika Banzai! Taste the Japanese anger! Japanese users suffered enormous damage from this incident. To them, Dex, the culprit behind this incident, was the object of their self-grinding hatred. Just thinking about the damages makes me angry, but Jae-young, who is Korean. That''s why their anger had no choice but to be amplified beyond imagination. To the extent that even basic rationality is paralyzed. Are these things crazy! All ready for battle! Stop! Wipe it all out! The Japanese yers started attacking the NPCs who stopped them regardless of fire or recklessness. The Principality of Ivern and the Kingdom of Karven, clearly taken aback by their sudden action, started suppressing them, but the adventurers'' attack was fiercer than expected. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu? dare! There are too many of you! Dont break through. Kill them all! Outnumbered and surrounded by adventurers, NPCs. And Jae-yeong, who was standing in the middle and watching this mess where everyone rushed in unison to punish him, muttered as if it was absurd. ...What the hell is this situation? Japanese users rushing at me with the single thought of killing themselves. The NPCs who threatened to drag them along if they didn''t follow them right away. Jae-young''s mind is confused because he wees himself more than he imagined. At that, Tan said with a mocking smile on his face. Wow, master, were you really popr with humans? Arent you all anxious to have a master? I was anxious to have it. Although, of course, it seemed to have a terrifying meaning, far from a good one. [All special conditions have been met.] [The title The Man I Want'' has been obtained.] ..... It was a bonus to suddenly acquire a crazy title that seemed to humiliate the current situation. No, but I caught the dragon, shouldnt I be afraid or wary of it even a little bit? The more I think about it, the more iprehensible the situation. Jaeyoung grumbled at the attitude of the NPCs, who seemed to treat them condescendingly by approaching them with suspicious faces, despite the enormous fame gained from ying the terrifying dragon, but L shook his head and said, Not necessarily. what? Hmm... I don''t know if you''re in a spiritual state, but if you look at Dex-sama in his current state, no one will believe that fact. ..... A wandering song in a troubled world where the concept of level itself does not exist. That''s why the stats that can grow and the skills that can be acquired are very limited, so Jae-young''s basic abilities and skills were literally trash to the point of sighing. Furthermore, the so-called stat work, orbor to increase stats, was left alone, so the gap with other users was only widening. My mana and vitality are weak... but that doesn''t mean I have even divine power, let alone affinity with spirits or dark magic. Since they do not have any of the basic powers possessed by the so-called strong among humans, we have no choice but to doubt them. In a nutshell, El''s exnation can be neatly summarized as I''m ignored because my existing abilities are X bop''. Hearing this, Jaeyoung murmured with a puzzled look on his face. No, you doubt that? What game is this really? NPCs who doubt and make judgments based on the appearance of Jae-young that they saw directly, not simply the figure of reputation. When Jaeyoung opened his mouth at their actions that were so realistic, what the hell was the game like, Tan said bruisingly. It''s all because the owner is an idiot. what? listen carefully. Do you know the great fear and notoriety humans have of us? Is that right? A fearsome demon that makes even a crying child stop. Called demons, their notoriety, which evokes fundamental fear, has been written down in the history books of Arcadia. okay. How do you think the notoriety of the Demon Realm was created? Um... because all I have to do is kill everyone? no. Because you cheated with your mouth and extorted your soul? That''s true, but it''s not like that either. Because it looks so ugly? ...Do you want to get hit, owner? Even when various answers are given, Tan always shakes his head and says no. The riddle that suddenly started was only answered after Jaeyoung frowned and red at Tan. That''s because I''ll always leave one or two alive. what....? Either stealing souls,mitting massacres,mitting all sorts of heinous acts, staining a city or an entire kingdom in blood, always letting a few humans escapepletely. You have to do that... Because you''re bragging about your evil deeds to other humans. ...I guess you understand now. Jaeyoung seemed to know a little about Tans exnation. Why are the NPCs on this continent not afraid of him, and why are they rather condescending and intimidating? Adventurers are... well, theye back to life even after they die, so even out of the question, how many NPCs have properly witnessed the power of their master? Poseia of the Shoen Empire. Jae-young tore the defense magic circle installed there with a single spell and drowned it all. In addition, the NPCs who witnessed the tremendous battle here in Ben also disappeared without a trace due to the pouring high-level magic, so the specific story about Jae-young could not spread. That''s why Tan smirked and said to those who were fighting Japanese users while wandering around. That''s why these guys have no fear of their masters. How can you feel fear when no one survives and no one goes around talking about that fear? Is that so... Jaeyoung gained a great realization while listening to Tans words. It was not a normal situation, but Jaeyoung felt it again as he looked at the menacing soldiers approaching him. Hey adventurer! The situation is urgent, so follow me immediately! If you dont obey me, I will take you by force! The Duchy of Ivern seems to be trying to retreat to secure Jae-Young''s new recruits and reorganize the battle lines. Seeing the soldiers there approaching him ferociously, Jaeyoung murmured in a low voice. Kangshin. The immortal berserk Berserker. Whoops. Quaang. Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard. At the same time, the soldiers who were approaching Jae-young with ropes flew up in all directions in an instant, and everyone stopped moving as if time had stopped for a moment. What is it! What the hell is this...? Dex, who was clearly standing there unarmed until just now. But suddenly, an aura full of red energy welled up all over his body, and everyone shouted in astonishment at the figure of him holding a huge bloody greatsword that pulsated as if his heart were beating. pug. And a greatsword that was swung without any warning. They were horrified to see one knight who had been hit right in the head by that blow and turned gray. Great Captain! This cant be. How can the captain do it in one room... A detached unit separated from the main unit to secure Jae-young''s recruits. Jae-young, who had smashed the earthenware pot of the leader who was leading them with one blow, muttered as if he remembered the taste of something he had forgotten. Its been a while since I did this... I broke a lot with my rusty iron sword... Recalling the memories (?) of ignorantly breaking the pitiful earthenware pots of green and cute beginners one by one with a rusty iron sword, Jaeyoung grabbed his greatsword again and said. Ten people. ...? ..... Those who looked confused as if they didnt understand Jaeyoungs words. Looking at them, Jaeyoung said coldly with an evil smile like a grim reaper. Only 10 people will be spared. In this way, Jaeyoung strongly imprinted his name on the entire third continent of Arcadia. Not the glorious title of Dragon yer. With the strange title of an earthenware pot breaker who broke all the earthenware pots of thousands of people alone. Chapter 184 Chapter 184 Even the boss is having a hard time! Berserk, the immortal berserker. Jae-young, a yer with the characteristic of recovering his strength and bing stronger as he drenched in blood, was running amok in this chaotic battlefield. pug. [You killed a mid-level soldier of the Principality of Ivern.] [Notoriety rises by 50.] Peruk. [You killed the battle mage of Carben Kingdom.] [Infamy rises by 180.] Peruk. [You killed the yer who hates Natto.] [Notoriety rises by 100.] . . . The Principality of Ivern, the Kingdom of Karven, and even the users. Jae-young, who does not cover anyone, moves in all directions as if he were a w-pull doll, and shes his ruthless greatsword equally into everyone''s earthenware pot. Because of this, those who were fighting each other at first were cooperating with each other before they knew it. Keugh..... What kind of guys are there? It''s a monster, that''s..... How can you fully recover your physical strength like that every time you feel like dying? This... impostor! What the hell are you cheating on! Dex, risking his life to intensively saturate and recover his stamina in an instant like a lie whenever it seems like his physical strength has fallen even if he pours out attacks. With his undying y as if he had be a zombie, they clearly sensed that the title sparkling above Dex''s head was not a lie. [Undying Berserker Dex] Peruk. In the meantime, Jae-young broke the earthenware pot of an unknown soldier and guided him to Hwangcheon-gil. He checked his vitality and stamina as he barely crawled on the floor, and then activated the skill again. [Hunger on the battlefield is activated.] [Insanity is reset.] [Health is restored by 100%.] [Stamina is recovered by 100%.] Phew..... This time was really close. His stamina had reached a level where he could die from even a small amount of damage. Jaeyoung, who recovered properly at the close timing, let out a sigh of relief and muttered. ...hey master. What is your real identity? It''s strange... How can you handle every power borrowed from the spirit god so perfectly? Berserk, the immortal berserker. It is true that the power he possessed when he was alive was strong, but the weakness that followed was also very clear. Attack power inversely proportional to physical strength. In line with the job concept of a berserker, the lower the health, the moreprehensively strengthened the stats, so in order to maximizebat power, there was no choice but to keep the health as low as possible during battle. Of course, you can recover your vitality and stamina by exhausting the madness umted through battle at the moment of death crisis, but you cannot use it until you have acquired a certain level of madness, so even a little mismanagement can help you die straight away, a typical high-risk high return. style job. Jae-young, who has to walk a tightrope in the face of death, naturally uses the power of Berserk as if it were her own and draws out maximum efficiency. So far, he has lent his strength to many people, but it wasn''t to this extent, so Tan looked at Jaeyoung seriously and asked. Is it the owners 2nd tea? Do you remember anything from your past life? What are you talking about... Tan asks a question that can only be seen in a fantasy novel where the main character who was hit by a truck is reincarnated. Jaeyoung looked at him with a puzzled look and then looked around. Rather than that... I think it''s sorted out to some extent now... but it''s still a long time until there are 10 of us. I don''t know how many I''ve killed, but they''ve definitely decreasedpared to before. In addition, the eyes of those who were looking at Jaeyoung were mixed with different emotions from before. fear. fear. and awe. He fought alone against hundreds... no, thousands of trained soldiers and wrathful adventurers. Contrary to their expectations that no matter how strong he was, he would end up miserably dying or being suppressed out of numbers, he was rather overpowering them all and expressing his strength to his heart''s content. I can''t believe it... Count Abel led the army of the Kingdom of Carben. He muttered with his eyes widened in disbelief at the situation unfolding before his eyes. I''m sure he was just an ordinary human with no sense of mana or aura...? Dex was so weak that he couldn''t even feel his strength. However, Count Abel, who had suddenly changed as if he had be apletely different person, felt a huge presence that he had never felt before and was shocked. That''s like... Abel muttered to himself, gulping and trembling in fear. Isnt it a bloody demon that only appears in legends... When Count Abel was very young, he asked his nanny, who used to tell her old stories before going to bed, to tell her a scary story. A warrior''s story. [There was a knight who made a contract with the devil. For some unknown reason, hepletely abandoned his righteous and honorable past and became a madman who only indulged in blood. It is said that his whole body is always stained with blood as he roams the battlefield and is covered in the blood of others. A demon that never dies, always thirsting for blood and seeking the death of everyone on the battlefield. His name is...] Quaang. Count Abel returns from a shback of the past, startled by a sudden explosion. He screamed involuntarily when he saw Jaeyoung wielding a huge sword in front of him and the demon he had imagined as a child. Retreat all troops! Commander''s order to retreat. The adjutants and others who had listened to his orders began to wander around and shout. Retreat! Stop fighting! Everyone retreat! Ughhhhh! Run away! Those who have already lost their will to fight a long time ago. The soldiers, who had been waiting for the order to retreat, started running without looking back as if they had waited as soon as the order was given. And that was the case with the Principality of Ivern and the Japanese yers as well. Chick-sho-oh-oh! This is a scam! Bug! No, I don''t know what kind of hack you used, but do you think you''ll be okay with this? Shit. On the subject of Josenjing! Joe Sensing. At those words, Jaeyoung stopped moving for a moment. Then he turned his head and looked at the crowd of Japanese users and asked. what? Jae-young, who had been breaking the earthenware pot indiscriminately without saying anything until now. The first time he reacted to their words, they flinched and then began to notice each other. What did you just say to me? Jaeyoung asks again. Among those who were looking at him like that, someone shouted in evil. I said Josenjing! Why? one to many. Perhaps because there are many people who share his will, he spat out what he wanted to say with unknown courage based on crowd psychology, and continued to shout with an expression of relief. Go back to Josenjingnd now! This is Japanese territory! Thats right! Why is it such an uproar that it came to the ce where we y! Do you think you''ll be okay with this? Those who couldn''t do anything with their strength started pouring out all kinds of unspeakable swear words and curses as a group. Jaeyoung was well aware of the crime he hadmitted, so at first he tried to just let it go, but gradually began to put on a cold expression at their remarks that went beyond the limit. These vicious Josenjins! I knew everything from what happened in the Shen Empire before. Are you guys trying to attack our continent like this? Do you think we can just leave it alone? Dont be conceited that you are a little strong in the game! If I mobilize people I know, it''s not even a job to make you and your family disappear silently in reality... Jaeyoung''s sword was swung before he could finish talking. They were frightened when they saw the user, who was split in half by an invisible blow and dyed in gray, and Jaeyoung, who hade right in front of them from afar. Hee hee hee...! When the hell...?! Jae-Young approached at an unaware moment and cut down a user in an instant. He looked at them with very cold eyes and murmured. Because Im a human too, I know that there are a lot of people who happened to see blood, so I tried to understand the cursing to some extent and move on. It wasn''t done on purpose, and I was forced to make a living and it happened, so it''s a bit unfair. To be demeaned as josenjing. Calling them invaders, yers, and city-wreckers. All of this was able to concede a hundred times, understand everything, and pass on to the generous Buddha''s teachings. But... Papadlip is basic, and even threatens to retaliate in real life, and if I cross the line so hard, Ill be disrespectful too, right? Japanese users who cross the line without thinking too much. Jaeyoung asked them with a cold smile like a death. If this is the case, I have no choice but to go out emotionally. Where should I do it properly? Whoops. Jaeyoung radiates a powerful red aura and raises hostility. A skill suddenly flew between the Japanese users who hesitated while watching him. die! Zosenjing! Even if I lose once, I wont give in to you! Aww! Long live the Japanese Empire! yers who know that the battles so far are a battle with no chance of winning. However, since they were adventurers who came back to life even after dying, they hated kneeling down in shame and killing their pride more than dying once, so they began to rush at them like crazy. Banzai charge... Really Japanese. Jaeyoung smiled and looked at the Japanese users running towards him. He did not dodge their attacks, but rather leaped strongly and shed his greatsword into the center of the crowd. Lets see you somewhere. Quaang. You guys die or I die. Kwaaang kwaang. Jaeyoung ended up crossing a river from which he could never turn back. A terrorist who blew up a key city on the third continent of Arcadia. As the worst PK criminal who ughtered hundreds... thousands of users without leaving a single one. The name Dex was strongly imprinted on all Japanese users. * * * Haa..... Please don''t do anything unnecessary and bring me a heart quietly..... CEO Lee Mi-yeon, sitting in the office watching Jae-young''s y. She rubbed her throbbing hair while watching him having a st with the Japanese users, wondering where she had left her request. There will be an uproar in Japan again. Even the media is in a frenzy saying that the public sentiment of the two countries is unusual these days. Originally, it was not so good, but after the Dragon Crisis, the people''s feelings got worse. To be honest, this wasrgely the fault of the Korean users who made fun of Japanese users who had a city blown away in an instant. -Ughhhhhhh Where is your city going? -lol. Hey, is your city hot? Did you ride well? -Jjokbari Sherry''s bloody and teary jam hahaha -It''s really a fun jam with Byeonggyeong across the sea. There is nothing wrong with the words of the saints. - Jumo! Where did the mother-inw go! Bring Kimchi! Korean users who insulted Japanese users by making all kinds of drips and memes because they wanted an opportunity. As a result, the customer center of the Japanese branch was literally destroyed as if a nuclear bomb had fallen. The dissatisfaction of Japanese users, who enjoyed the game peacefully, was bound to be greatly amplified. - Korea-Japan rtions deteriorated rapidly. Is this all because of the game? - Virtual Reality Arcadia. Creating new conflicts in diplomatic rtions? - The Korean-Japanese war that takes ce in the game. In-Depth Coverage Featured Article! The media is biting and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ising forward, and the pressure for this work ising. However, President Lee Mi-yeon sighed as he witnessed that the culprit who created this chaotic situation was creating another turmoil. Haa... It''s a mess again. Chapter 185 Chapter 185 Diplomacy. A highly strategic political act that cooperates with other countries for the benefit of the country. The Republic of Korea has made the United States a key ally with its traditional diplomatic strategy, and has tried to cooperate in any field, regardless of politics, military, economy, or culture. Let''s go together! We go together! Of course, the United States also has a geopolitical strategic point in Northeast Asia, the Korean Penins, andmunist forces that have not yet disappeared into the dark side of history, China, Russia, and North Korea, were aiming to expand their forces, so South Korea was an existence that they could never abandon. That''s why Korea is full of American influence and influence in many areas. However, even in such a situation, there were some issues that they couldn''t touch, and the rtionship between Korea and Japan was one of them. -Deration of war started in virtual reality. Korea invader? - A city on the Japanese continent on fire. great tragedy. - Pride of the Japanese Empire. copse like this? Starting with the ck Pirates appearing in the Shouen Empire, to Ben, who waspletely reduced to ashes. The scale of the damage was too great for each incident to be overlooked, so the Japanese media were in a hurry to pull out articles with provocative titles as if they werepeting. what? Are they Koreans again? Why do they keep going crazy in the game? Anyway, the damn Josenjing...! It''s Japan where all the people y Arcadia to dismiss it as just something that happened in a game. That''s why it was even more difficult to find people who didn''t get angry while reading rted articles because most of the people who were harmed by this incident except for a very small number were. Another incident that happened there. [Let''s see.] [Will you die or I will die?] Dex showed overwhelming force by single-handedly massacring thousands of Japanese users. As the video of his y spread, the fuse of their boiling anger was ignited. [This is truly deplorable! Who are the users who remained in the ruins? Arent they refugees who lost their ce of y and lost everything overnight due to this crisis? I don''t know why the user did such a thing in the Japanese continent, but their anger was justified and natural. Apologizing to them and bowing my head to ask for their forgiveness, in a situation where it wouldn''t be enough to annihte those users! Is this what humans do? Yes?] A critic who appeared on a TV broadcast and yelled at a desk in a fit of rage. Of course, since it was virtual reality, no one actually died, but he burst into foam and drove Dex into a rare yer who killed thousands without blinking an eye. [It doesn''t matter if it''s virtual or real. Because Arcadia is a world where everything is perfectly realized, enough to give the illusion of reality. If you canmit such a massacre in such a ce, you should probably suspect that you are not a serial killer like a psychopath in real life. When I expected it, he would definitely be a cold-hearted social misfit without blood or tears.] A critic who pours out delusions in his brain that will make the person in question choke up when they hear it. However, the faces of the host and Japanese viewers listening to his story were more serious than ever. -that''s right. No matter how virtual reality is, at this level, it wouldn''t be strange to do something simr in real life. - Could it be that you have already done something? -Cheek Show!!!!! This human scum has been killing us Japanese! -Yeah..... Even if I don''t ask for forgiveness, I think it was wrong to annihte the angry users. Japanese people began to sympathize little by little as they listened to the critic. And to them he shouted. [And that''s not all of this problem! The user called Dex'' who came over to our continent where he enjoyed the game peacefully and caused great damage, but the bigger problem is the Korean users who stand by and support it!] Japanese people''s unhappiness equals Korean people''s happiness'' . Strongly advocating this theory, he yed several videos and photos from the Inte on a huge monitor. [Long live Dex!!!!] [Chwiiik!] A mosaic-covered video of a man tearing his ck panties and crying. - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! - Search all the short-haired Cherries! - Uhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is Joseon''s counterattack. - Jumo! Jumo! The kimchi is all gone! Comments praising Dex and making fun of Japan poured out like a carpet bombing. He continued to show Koreans cheering and rejoicing at their misfortune and suffering. [Fellow Koreans, this is Korea''s malicious and retaliatory attack and aggression towards our proud Japan. It is just a game and should not be dismissed as virtual work. Just think of the simple facts. These Josensings'' will be delighted and happy to see the despair and frustration of the Japanese people. As always.] Josenjing. He spit out the word that was taboo in the Japanese media and broadcasters and disappeared without hesitation. In a normal situation, it would have been judged as a broadcast ident and the broadcast would have been finished right away, but no one has taken issue with it as of now. [Don''t lose to these Josenjings. Please remember the damage and pain this has caused. And to these fucking bastards...] [Let''s pay it back someday.] This critic''s remarks were broadcast live all over Japan. From this point on, public sentiment between Korea and Japan reached its worst ever. It''s as if time had gone back to the middle of the 20th century. * * * Hoo..... How is the atmosphere upstairs? It looks better than I thought. Yasuhiro, head of the Cab Investigation Office. He confirmed the contents of the decision notice handed down at the cab meeting and said with a slightly cheerful face. It seems that the Prime Minister has turned the direction of diplomacy toward strongly pressing Korea with this incident. ...It is only natural that public opinion haspletely turned around due to this incident. Isn''t it something the Prime Minister can''t help if it''s like this? Hajigen Chateau, head of the Cab Office of Investigation. He shook his head and murmured, as if in pain. Still, its fortunate that the operation to manipte public opinion using that critic was sessful. If that had failed, neither you Yasuhiro nor I would have been able to sit still. ...I apologize for the part that caused concern about that part. Yasuhiro''s strategy to expand his influence in the game by pouring a huge amount of money into virtual reality. Not only did the n he was promotingpletely copse overnight, but he also suffered huge financial losses, so if it became known to the upper line, many people''s lives would be at stake. So, they nned this operation for their safety. In order to reduce their responsibility as much as possible while inting the problem of one individual into the problem of the whole country. And their n worked so well. It''s okay..... It''s a problem that has already passed and it doesn''t look like they''re going to me us given the circumstances... Rather, I heard that there are instructions from the Prime Minister? Ah, you mean...? To Chateau''s question, Yasuhiro said with a slightly serious face. That''s it... The Cab Investigation Office has instructed us toe up with a n to respond to this incident. However, there is a n that the Prime Minister himself mentioned... Prime Minister Abin himself...? What is it? That''s... to find a way to steal Arcadia''s internal information rted to virtual reality technology... Isn''t that an operation already in progress? I bet the Japanese branch already provides quite a bit of information? The Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which has already been in the hands of the Cab Investigation Office. Since he was stealing various important information in advance through the staff working there, Chateau, who heard Prime Minister Abin''s instructions, asked with an iprehensible expression. Well... isn''t most of the information provided by the Japanese branch about schedules and operational guidelines for updates and detailed in-game ns? I don''t think you like that there is nothing about the main technology rted to virtual reality. He asked back at Yasuhiro''s words as he exined Prime Minister Abin''s intentions with a slightly embarrassed face. Does that mean... that we should steal key technology information from somewhere other than Japan? That''s right. ording to previous investigations by our team, Arcadia Co., Ltd. is headquartered on the US side. However, it was identified as a ce where only a minimum number of personnel resided, and it was judged to be a ghostpany. Rather, the general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd., Lee Mi-yeon, is constantly residing here... I guess Korea is ying a more key role. Chateau is lost in thought as he finishes Yasuhiro''s words instead. He looked at something with his sharp eyes shining, and then asked him. What do you think? It is just an estimate, but the original technology of virtual reality is owned by Argos Silico Ajin Electronics. In other words, the virtual reality technology cannot bepleted until all the technical information of these three ces is extracted. However, if the information on the core technology of these threepanies is stored on the server of Arcadia Korea branch... It would be like catching three birds at once. Not a bad n. It will be much less burdensome when the operation is exposed to the South Korean side rather than the US. The Cab Investigations Office, which is very aware of the formidable power of the US intelligence and investigative agencies. It was true that it was much easier to work on the clumsy Korean side rather than operating under their wide surveincework. Besides, in the current situation, the justification was also good. Even if the operation fails, the Korean side will not be able to say much regret. Public opinion in Japan is already on the decline because of this incident. That''s right. So he told me to n an operation in the direction of Korea. If you seed, great. Even if you fail, if you stumble over it, stop. Compared to the small risk, the return reward was too sweet, so Chateau ordered while looking at Yasuhiro. good. Then, I will attach a team dedicated to the Korean operation, so try it. I mean...? Looking at Chateau, who entrusted the operation to himself, Yasuhiro asked back with a slightly puzzled face. He thought that the reason why he had been away for a while was because of himself, so he was reprimanded and thought that he would be on guard for a while, so his decision to entrust such a big operation was embarrassing. Can you really do that...? Which team has the most information about virtual reality or thepany Arcadia? Aren''t they the 3 teams you aremanding? I know there are mistakes, but I need your team in the context of a stealing operation like this. Chief..... It is not that I will forgive you for this incident. It''s true that I almost got into trouble because of you. Chateau will put off taking responsibility for a while. He said while looking at Yasuhiro with cold eyes. So, make sure to handle it this time. I will not forgive any small failure. Hey! Yasuhiro answered with a voice that was as determined as it was tragic. He promised that he would make this operation a sess and rectify all mistakes. In this way, a new operation team was secretly formed in the Cab Investigation Office. With the goal of stealing the core technology of virtual reality from the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Chapter 186 Chapter 186 Remake (1) Except for the fact that it is located in Seoul, there is nothing special about it, and the name of themon people''s university is not well known. This school, which had been criticized for not paying enough tuition, was recently undergoing a great change. Wow..... is it a true story? Our school is right next to SKY? Is this crazy real? By the time October is over and November is starting to get a little chilly. As the results of the college preference survey of students who are studying fiercely to take the CSAT began to be released one after another, students at Seomin University had no choice but to be astonished. -Students who want Seomin University. The reason is that? - A rapidly changing university preference ranking. Seomin University threatens SKY''s stronghold. - Ranked 4th in the general preference ranking of Seomin University. Amazing Anomaly! - Entrance exam experts in shock. The entrance exampetition is invisible! Seomin University, which was always ranked at the bottom of the university poprity rankings, pushed by those prominent top universities. However, this year, their ce was threatened by putting the name directly under the proudly unbreakable SKY. Wow..... My school popped up in an instant. It was a job that the people around me didnt even know the name of. that''s right. My rtive and younger brother also wanted to go here, but they said they gave up because the admission score was too high. What is this... What school am I going to now...? Seomin University was originally a school that students who had no special intention to study applied for ording to their grades. But now, as the so-called talented people couldn''t enter the school, it became a school of concern. The students who were attending this school were confused by the envious eyes of the people around them, but at the same time, they felt proud of the strangely rising pride. Hey, dont get too excited. Its not because our school is doing well anyway. that''s right. Seomin University isnt great, its because of the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. Ah..... why did I apply for electronic engineering instead of writingputer science... So... if I knew there would be a virtual reality engineering department, I would go there too... . After entering the Department of Computer Engineering, the school turned into a Department of Virtual Reality Engineering overnight. Since it was an initiative carried out by the school without any notice or discussion, there was a lot of noise in the beginning, but soon all the controversies had to disappear. Signed industry-university cooperation with Seomin University and Arcadia Co., Ltd. Apany thatunches and operates mankind''s first virtual reality game, and a globalpany that possesses all of the darlings of virtual reality technology. The fact that this closedpany, which has no affiliation with any academic, educational, or research institute, has joined hands for the first time, and the announcement that it will recruit talented people through special recruitment, make the value of Seomin Universityparable to that of the past. It started to rise exponentially. Hey, I heard you can get a job at Arcadia Co., Ltd. if you do well in the Virtual Reality Engineering Department? really? wow awesome Isn''t that a really sessful life? I heard that the actual sry of the employees there is not a joke. Apany that earns an astronomical amount just by paying monthly game fees and capsule installments. That''s why it was rumored that the employees who attended Arcadia Co., Ltd., even if they were at the lowest level, were receiving hundreds of millions of dors in annual sry. If thats all, dont say anything. Providespany housing near thepany Full support for medical expenses and full support for children''s education, whether studying abroad or going to graduate school. In addition, they send their families on overseas trips every year, and the daily lunches are said to be at the level of luxury hotel buffets, and there... Arcadia''s employee welfare benefits have already been widely disclosed to the public. To list them, they were truly endless, so Arcadia Co., Ltd. said, Does this make sense?'' It was apany that seemed to exist only in my imagination, giving money to real employees. Therefore, it is a dream job that anyone who has anything to do with IT orputers wants to join somehow. Because of this, the students of Seomin University always looked at the students of the Virtual Reality Department with envious eyes. Haa... I''m envious. If I go to a ce like that, I can work really hard. But they said it was that hard. I do a lot of overtime. Even if I work a lot of overtime, if the benefits are good, I think Ill work with a smile... Thats true... Amon university that all applicants in Korea want to enter. While those who were already enrolled here were feeling a strange sense of inferiority and bitterness at their situation, a bright apricot, a female student noticed someone eating at the table in front of her and whispered with her eyes bright. uh! Its him! huh? who? That... I told you before that there was a person at my school who was selected as a special schrship student by Arcadia Co., Ltd. and got a job. There he is! uh? really? where where? At those words, she opened her eyes wide and hurriedly turned around to look at the people sitting and eating. She pointed her finger at one of them and said, A fat boy dressed in a very corny outfit. I mean him. Ugh. Is he a special schrship student? huh. Did you say your name is... Jaekyun? Maybe? Lim Jae-gyun is a freshman in the Department of Virtual Reality. The story of how he overpowered all other seniors and showed great potential during ss, shocking the staff dispatched from Arcadia Co., Ltd. The story was so famous that it went beyond the virtual reality department and spread throughout the university, so her friend muttered with a frown. Ah... was that sneaky stalker perverted pig? The story of the day that became so famous. The story that she openly showed her own insidious and ugly fantasy to a girl in ss in front of everyone was more strongly embedded in people''s minds, so even though it was her first time seeing Jae-kyun, her friend''s gaze It wasn''t very nice. I heard the other girls who were watching said it was creepy and frightening? I see you are still doing well in school. uh. Fortunately, the girl said that she didn''t make a big deal out of it and passed on quietly. I don''t know the details.... Anyway, I''m envious. I want to work for such a greatpany. By the way, who is the person next to me? Are you friends? A male student talking about something while eating in front of Jaekyun. Unlike the old-fashioned and fat guy, he has a pretty decent appearance and neat clothes. A friend asked, feeling a crush on the mysterious charm emanating from it, but the girl nced at her and shook her head. I don''t know either. Is this the first face you see? * * * What are they...? Two female students strangely keep looking back at where they are and whispering. As Jaeyoung muttered, clearing his ears in indescribable difort, Jaekyun asked with his mouth full of rice. Why is that, Jaeyoung? No, its just that my ears are itchy. Isnt it because a lot of people curse at you? ...It''s ck again. Jae-Kyun smiles at Jae-Young''s words. He moved the spoon around and continued as if teasing. Why is it true? It seems like there are still a lot of people grinding their teeth on the inte trying to find out who you are. Of course, it seems that there are more people who praise you that much, but... To the Japanese, Jae-young is a rare viin, but at the same time, to the Koreans, Jae-young has be a hero who is not enough no matter how much he praises you. However, at Jaekyun''s words, Jaeyoung frowned and spoke in a voice full of annoyance. Is that apliment? All of them are a group of sexual stalkers who are more than creepy. After this dragon incident, buzzwords that have be like a meme on the Inte. These are so densely entrenched throughout the Intemunity as if they were systematically created by some huge group. -The panties are ck. - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! -I want to lick Dex''s hair~?. -I wouldn''t have a wish if Dex did XXXX and XXXXX and XXXXXXXXX. -Deck Fan Mu! Deck Fan Mu! Deck Fan Mu! Deck Fan Mu! -Deck fan sword! Deck fan sword! Deck fan sword! Deck fan sword! Posts andments with ck pantyhose deck fans all over the ce. Jaeyoung gnashed his teeth in their hearts full of ugly desires that gave goosebumps just by looking at them. Ah... Really those damn bastards. I can''t quit the game. Jae-young wants to quit the game because he is spoiled. However, since he knew that he could not be satisfied with other games since he had already tasted this God-Game, and because he had already done so many things, there was nothing he could do for them. Anyway...so where are you now? Are you still in maind Japan? Jaegyun''s question full of curiosity. Jaeyoung shook his head at his words. No, they areing back to the maind now. Hey..... Really? It looks like you''ve done everything you need to do there. It takes about a month to move, so in the meantime, I''ll quietly go to bed and do my overdue work. okay....? what are you going to do in the meantime What else has been dyed? Jae-young boarded a liner to the Caribbean. Since it takes quite a bit of time just to go back to the Korean continent, he nned to use this opportunity to focus on other things. What is it? It''s that'' project. Ah... that...? Jaeyoung''s that'' project. Jaekyun noticed that it was a secret project that the design and development team of Arcadia Korea branch was risking their life and death to tell about the glory of the past, and looked around and whispered in a low voice. That''s all we have to do. So, you just got back to school, what else are you going to do all of a sudden? The two have been skipping school and recing all attendance with an internship program. Since today was the first day he returned to the ssroom, Jaekyun seemed flustered by Jaeyoung''s words. Didnt you see the managers face then? I made a game and tried it, but it wasn''t fun and I yelled at the boss a lot. I had to make it into a god game somehow, but no matter what I did, I was sweating profusely because it was a dung man game. Game Festa, a venue for gameunches and a festival for gamers around the world. For that day, which was less than three weeks away, Jae-young thought of saving them, who were risking life and death for the entire team, working overtime, and giving CPR by attaching an oxygen respirator to a game that had somehow died. how? Do you have any good ideas? Jae-kyun, who has experience ying League of Legends. He clearly knew that the problem with the League of Legends, which was reborn in virtual reality, was that it was just a hardputer game with no lively graphics, so he looked at Jaeyoung with curiosity and asked. And in response to that question, Jaeyoung said with a confident smile. I''ll have to experiment a little... but there has to be. what is that....? No matter how much he thinks about it, he can''te up with a solution. He couldn''t hold back the curiosity that surged in his heart when Jaeyoung said there was a way. Basically, the problem with League of Legends in virtual reality is theck of action and sense of impact. In aputer game, that would have been enough... but in the world of virtual reality, where you can experience exactly the same as real life, it''s not enough. The League of Legends, in which all motions, such as skill activation, attack, movement, return, and death, are fixedly organized, made yers feel a sense of heterogeneity and frustration. The feeling of being inside a doll or marite. Knowing how much it interfered with the immersion of the game while ying it himself, Jaeyoung was thinking ofpletely changing the theme of the game. There is no chance of winning with traditional AOS games. So... Can''t we just turn it into an AOS game with real-time action pleasure? It is a mind-boggling hybrid that has mixed all genres together. Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Remake (2) Project Glory of the Past. Virtual reality technology that dered the ruin and end of the game industry around the world. League of Legends was the first protagonist of the design & development team''s ambitious project to recreate existing popr games so that they can live and breathe in virtual reality using this. A co-op game of the AOS genre that has been loved worldwide and made a mark in the game world. league of legends. Hundreds of heroes and stories intertwined with them stimted the emotions and curiosity of users. The infinite number of cases created by thebination of heroes and the intense battlefield where even a single mistake canpletely change the game y stimted the fighting spirit and cooperation of users. A league of legends that have been loved by people for a long time, unlike simple game rules where various strategies andbinationse and go. Now, its poprity has faded iparably to the past, but it was a fact that no one can deny that it was a god-game so many people miss the nostalgia of that time. Oh no..... is this real? Manager Yang Min-hyeok, who is in charge of overseeing the rebirth of such a legendary league in virtual reality. Hearing the reports from his subordinates, his face hardened. yes. This is a survey from the QA team and those who were active as pro gamers in the past. All negative reviews are stronger. cooong. An clerk putting a wad of papers that looked like hundreds of pages on his desk. His face was pale in a more serious situation than he expected. I checked the problems and improvement suggestions delivered by the QA team. It''s not too different from what we discussed back then. The graphics are impably realistic and perfect, but when you actually y the game, it is said that it is hard, disparate, contrived, and not fun. Pro gamers who have yed League of Legends a lot have the same reaction. Deadline now less than 3 weeks away. However, because the preliminary reaction to the alreadypleted game was so disastrously negative, Manager Yang Min-hyeok''s face was indescribably miserable. Isnt there still a difference in taste? For those who missputer games back then, the current method might be better... Manager Yang Min-hyeok tried to rationalize that the game he made was God-Game. But while he was talking, he couldn''t finish his words, as if he didn''t understand himself, and kept his mouth shut. ...then how would you like to improve? It was a painful moment, but Manager Yang Min-hyeok had to admit it. The fact that this game, which he and the entire team worked overtime for months to create, is a shit game that no one will enjoy. And the fact that in order for this project to seed, it must never be released to the public as it is. At his words, the employee started talking seriously with a slightly rxed face. First of all, the QA team advised that if possible, thebat system itself should be based on Arcadia. Of course, it feels like the genre of the game ispletely reversed... but at least in the virtual reality system, we decided that all movements and actions could not be sessful with a fixed structure. And... An employee who constantly pours out improvement ns. Manager Yang Min-hyeok, who had been listening silently, cut off his words that seemed to never end. wait for a sec. all good. no i get it But don''t you know? Now, with only 20 days left, the game''sbat system and skill item system... I''m asking you to change all of these things, but how could that be possible? Doesn''t this just mean remaking the game? Yang Min-hyeok, general manager, simply thought of improving the graphics. However, looking at it now, he muttered with a face stained with despair that the overall structure of the game and all existing systems had to bepletely overturned and rebuilt again. It''s all over..... Even if I can''t release the game due to the deadline, I''ll be reprimanded by the president and other executives, and even if I release it like this and get criticized by people, I... The work he nned and promoted himself . Therefore, he knew very well that if something went wrong this time, the first person to be blown off was Yang Min-hyeok himself, so he regretted and regretted when he realized how reckless he hadmitted. What about the house loan...? My kids are going to college now, but what about the tuition? Hahaha..... Am I in a position where I have to open a chicken restaurant now? He was obsessed with performance and blinded by the promotion to executives, so he could not tell the difference. It was a great idea and he was so confident to make it work that he couldn''t see the reality. It means that it is not so easy to apply aputer game to a virtual reality system as it is. ....What should I do? The moment when you have to choose whether to improve the game as much as possible for the remaining three weeks and release it, or give up on the release of Game Festa and go into a full-scale revision. In response to the employee''s question, Manager Yang Min-hyeok muttered in a self-deprecating voice. If I had known it would be like this, I would have told the boss honestly a week ago. He rose from his seat, resentful of his past self who boasted in confidence that I can fix it right away'' when he first discovered the problem. To the boss... I will report it myself. Even if we cant reveal it in time for the game festa we were aiming for, we wont harm you, so dont worry and focus on improving the game. Manager..... Manager Yang Min-hyeok says he will take on everything. He smiled and said to his subordinates who looked at him with pity. Dont look at me with those eyes. this is correct Can''t we just release a game that''s embarrassing to show to consumers just to get out of the rain for a while? Manager Yang Min-hyuk, at least, did not lose the pride and conscience of a game developer. For his ownfort, he did not want to reveal an unfinished game full of ws even though he knew it, so he said, determined to tell the truth to the president even if he had to step down from his position as general manager. Don''t worry about me. Even if I get fired, I''ll open a fried chicken restaurant near my office, so it would be nice toe here from time to time and have a dinner or something... Huh? Manager Yang Min-hyeok said with a puzzled look as he saw two people suddenly entering his department while talking. Why are you here...? Hello boss. It''s been a while, everyone. Ah, hello... Jaeyoung greeted with a wide smile as if to be happy. And Jae-gyun follows him and greets him awkwardly. Manager Yang Min-hyeok asked at the sudden appearance of the two. Didnt the internship program finishst week...? What happened all of a sudden... Although they asked for help because they needed it, they were originally students who were supposed to focus on their studies while taking lectures at university. That''s why after the game waspleted, they went back to school and went back to thispany... no, they never stopped by this department. However, Jaeyoung said with a meaningful smile toward him with questionable eyes. The internship program is over. But that doesn''t mean the game ispletely finished, right? Jaeyoung''s words as if he knew everything about the current situation. Manager Yang Min-hyeok''s eyes widened at his words. The problems we discovered at that time have not been fixed yet, have they? No, to be precise... I dont know where to start, so I cant do anything right now, right? How did you do that...? Somehow it seemed so. I couldn''t tell you because the boss called me at that time, but if you want to touch the fundamental game system, you have topletely fix the entire game system in a chain. Jaeyoung urately identified the game''s problems. At his words, as if he had foreseen the current situation of the design & development team from the beginning, Manager Yang Min-hyeok was speechless with his mouth open. I will tell you straight forward. I have a n to drastically improve this League of Legends. Of course, it''s not certain, so I''ll have to keep experimenting and adjusting and changing it... but if I''m right, it will be much more fun than now. what....? Really...? Jae-young continues to say that he has a solution. At his words, the whole office started to stir. And Jaeyoung said with a confident face without hesitation. yes. How? These are talented people who have rolled and rolled in the game industry. In the first ce, all of them had exceptional talents and were recognized for their work ability, so they were able to join thepany, but it was difficult to ept his words that they could solve the problems they were struggling with. I''ll talk about that after hearing the answer to my proposal. Considering the amount of time left until the Game Festa, I think you''ll have to decide now. Will you hand over all authority to me andpletely remake the game, leaving only the skeleton ... ..... A remark too arrogant for a college student to utter. No, in the first ce, it would not have been possible for someone who was not an employee of thepany to ask for full rights to the project, but those who heard Jae-young''s words were more serious than ever. Is it really going to happen...?'' It''s apletely new reorganization...'' If it''s that monstrous directing... maybe it''s possible...'' Jae-Young, who showed such perfect and monstrous directing that he was dismissed as a young student. To put it bluntly, he knew more about the game called League of Legends than anyone else here, including manager Yang Min-hyeok, so they peeked at his words as much as an ant''s eye for possibilities and hopes. Im sorry, but that seems difficult. Deputy manager? No, why...? Manager Yang Min-hyeok shook his head, saying it was difficult with a dark face. When he refused, the other employees were surprised and even stopped him, but he raised his hand as if he couldn''t help it and said. No matter how you look at it, this is beyond my authority. Reports have already gone up that the internship program is over, and in fact, I don''t know how you got in and out of here... It''s impossible to give you that kind of authority unless the boss approves... Really? Wait a minute..... At Yang Min-hyeok''s words, Jae-young takes out her smartphone and makes a call somewhere as if it''s no big deal. And at the words he shared with someone, everyone froze as if time had stopped. Yes boss. I have a request. yes yes no It''s not that difficult. You know the project I was working on here, the glory of the past. yes that''s right. I want to improve that a little more, but could Jaekyun and I participate in the project a bit more? Oh, it doesn''t matter? ..... Like a younger brother asking for a favor from a close older sister, he confidently dered that he would intervene in the project himself, and when Manager Yang Min-hyeok made a face wide open as if in shock, Jae-young smiled. Oh no. You don''t need to talk separately. It''s because I''ve already talked with Manager Yang Min-hyuk. So, did you allow it? yes yes. Good job, boss~ widely. Jaeyoung hung up the phone and looked at everyone who all froze with astonished faces. The boss says I can do whatever I want? Chapter 188 Chapter 188 Remake (3) Aplete remake of the virtual reality version of League of Legends''. As soon as Jae-young sat down in the position of the general manager who was leading this, everything passed breathlessly. Now, your time is up. Please tell me how much progress has been made. Jaeyoung was sitting on a soft chair in the middle of the office and looking at the clock. As he shouted in a loud voice, those who were frantically doing their jobs started shouting nonstop. The cast character skill modification isplete! The battleground reorganization is still... it needs a little more time. The item image and effect application are in the final stage... Jaeyoung listened to their story while nodding to see if the work had progressed to the level he had expected. He turned his head and looked at a team that was struggling with a cold sweat. How did the reorganization of the battle system go? Thats it... Why isnt it working? Employees with dark faces. Jaeyoung, who went to them and looked at something, soon found something on theputer and showed it to them. sleep. Watch this and try to implement it as simrly as possible. All this? A video that seems to be about 4 hours long. At Jaeyoung''s order to refer to it and apply it simrly to the game, they asked with white faces. yes. I have a lot of things to do in the future, so maybe I can give you 6 hours, right? W Six hours? The video alone is 4 hours long? More than half of the given time passes just by watching the video, but it makes no sense to have to watch and apply it. However, Jaeyoung said with a smile without blinking an eye. I believe you can do it all. In fact, it''s a situation where you have to do something even if you can''t meet the schedule... A huge and vast task thatpletely changes the game itself. In fact, it was an unrealistic story to finish all of this within three weeks, but they definitely felt it. It seems that he will die from overwork at any moment due to the murderous workload, but if you look at the game that changes little by little ording to his instructions, it is changing to a much improved and better appearance at a nce. coffee! Bring me coffee! Aaaaaaa! I die! Hey! I don''t know. Just die! That''s why, at his words, the employees drink all kinds of energy drinks with plenty of caffeine along with coffee and set everything on fire. While Jaeyoung was smiling happily as he looked at them, Manager Yang Minhyuk entered the office. Ah, are you here? This... what the hell... Kuaaaaa! Caffeine! Caffeyyyyin! Employees screaming iprehensibly, banging on the keyboard, and entering the lucid dream capsule. Jae-young''s ominous smile greeted him when he couldn''t hide his embarrassment at the appearance as if he had be a zombie. How... did the story go well? At Jae-young''s request, he went on a business trip far away to handle business. Manager Yang Min-hyeok handed over the brown paper envelope he was holding in his hand to Jae-young and said. The Icarus side also finally agreed to our proposal. They were promised that it would be okay to develop the game using theirbat system, weapons, and characteristics. While listening to his exnation, Jae-young carefully read the stack of papers in the envelope. Then, he nodded and spoke to Manager Yang Min-hyeok. You''ve worked hard..... I was worried about what to do if they told me not to infringe on their copyrights, but now there won''t be any problems. ...Actually, he was very grateful. They even officially asked if they could make their games into virtual reality if there was a chance. Action fighting game Icarus. This game, which has hundreds of weapons and various talent skill trees, was once very popr as a game that wages unpredictable battles in virtually infinitebinations. Of course, just by looking at it, there are so many characteristics and skills that you''ll get tired of it, and all kinds of various weapons and sub-weapons that you''ve never even heard of, acting as a huge barrier to entry for beginners who are just starting the game. . Because of that, new users get beaten up and folded every time they get hit in the water that has rotted away because they couldn''t stand it for a while. In the end, it is a game of misfortune that has be a non-existent old character game that only those who do not know the explosive poprity when it first came out. However, for Jaeyoung, Icarus was a little bit more hardcore but a well-made god-game, so he intended to incorporate a lot of the game into this remake. First of all, we adjust the existing skill system a little. Its not that were deleting it at all, but were adding new attributes that can be applied to each skill. how....? Hmm... For example, there are human hunters, right? If the existing infinite sprint skill simply increases movement speed and attack speed, applying Icarus''s light clothing'' attribute to it doubles the effect, but increases the skill activation time and damage. Then... Conversely, with the Heavy Step trait, the movement speed and attack speed increases are reduced, but the damage reduction effect is added? You understand. In that way, depending on the characteristics selected, the performance of the skill can also change. The same goes for items. Great sword, short sword, long sword, bastard sword, long sword, dagger, twin swords... Those who first encountered his idea were immediately amazed at the fresh idea, but realized it after judging whether it was applied in reality. Wait a minute... But there are over 100 heroic characters in the League of Legends. 118 to be exact. Icarus''s characteristics are... 392. Yes? Since each champion basically has 4 skills, then... A simple math problem. How many cases of skills that change ording to all characteristics and yer choices that exist in Icarus? After vaguely remembering the answer to that question, when everyone''s faces turned to contemtion, Jaeyoung said with a bright smile. About 185,024, right? Of course, it will be difficult to meet the deadline right now... Let''s reveal it first with only about 30 heroes. That should be enough. But... the number of 47,000 cases...? The question seems to be how to conceive and apply it. Jaeyoung answered the question. You have to do that. There are so many other things to do. ..... ..... That''s how it all started. A hell marathon where everyone will be gnashing their teeth and suffering from PTSD for a while, which they don''t want to do again. * * * When the design & development team department is suffering in hell while infusing caffeine. President Lee Mi-yeon asked while watching the scene on theputer screen in the office. How''s the situation over there, Alice? Jae-young has no choice but to be interested even if he tries not to. She was taken aback by the sudden phone call from him, but she couldn''t help but wonder even more about the request he made. [Can I work here a bit longer?] Jae-young proudly exerted influence within thepany by showing off her friendship with her. As she did not reject his request, but approved it, rumors were already spreading within thepany that he was the hidden younger brother of President Mi-yeon Lee. [Currently, it appears to be doing aplete overhaul of the Past Glory project. It has been confirmed that some of the elements from that game were borrowed from the IP of another popr game, Icarus'', and also.....] Alice is reporting the detailed progress of the project being promoted by the Design & Development Team step by step. . However, the reports were too unfamiliar for her to understand, having never yed all of them. Once I hear him say it, it sounds like he''s making some pretty big corrections... But why are you doing that all of a sudden? Thest time I checked, the game was already in the final stage, and I thought I just had to release it...? President Lee Mi-yeon reminds me of Manager Yang Min-hyuk''s face, who had been arguing to leave it alone just a week ago. However, Alice gave the answer to her question through the data stored on thepany''s intr. [We confirmed that a final evaluation of the game was requested through the in-house QA team three days ago. We also collected the opinions of pro gamers who were active in the past League of Legends''. However, I guess the results were much worse than expected.] Hmm..... I see...? Worse than you thought? CEO Lee Mi-yeon was reading each evaluation report with her eyes narrowed. And she frowned when she saw thements that seemed wordy and long, but could be summarized as garbage,'' dungmangem,'' and why are you doing this?'' What is this, I''ve never heard of this...? [Perhaps a full-scale adjustment of the game began to ur before reporting. Exactly when the user actively participated in improving the game and when the report was omitted coincided.] ...Is that so? President Lee Mi-yeon had a slightly suspicious feeling, but her expression was much more rxed than before. She muttered as she sat down and looked at the busy department staff through the monitor. Still, you look a lot more lively than when I saw you before... [You mean that look...?] A face full of glistening dog oil. A magpie''s hair that I don''t know when it was washed. She had not changed her clothes for several days, and she looked so groggy that I could smell it just by looking at her from afar. In addition, the people who sipped coffee nonstop and walked around with red, bloodshot eyes were eyes open enough to believe that they were zombies, and it was a pity to see them. Even if rumors spread that thepany is exploiting its employees to the level of very, even if it were discovered by an outsider, it would not be possible to publish a refutation article. Why do you seem to liven things up a lot more than before? Alice didn''t seem to be able to see it, but President Lee Mi-yeon''s eyes clearly saw it. Before that, they did not know if what they were doing was right or not and just did what they were told. The strong conviction in their eyes. And the image of all the employees pouring everything into their work, burning their souls and burning their souls, full of desperation without time to think of idle thoughts. It feels a lot better than I thought. [I agree with that part. Looking at what is being changed now, theplexity of the game has increased by 53%pared to before, but at the same time, the degree of freedom of the game has dramatically increased by abandoning the existing system and adopting the same active autonomous system as Arcadia, and applying a system called skill characteristics. ....] Alice, the artificial intelligence, began to give iprehensible exnations again. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, looked at Jae-young through the monitor and said while listening to her exnation. After all, you are a unique customer. After muttering something iprehensible to her, she smiled as if she was having fun. A little more than two weeks left...? Game Festa is now exactly 17 days away. ncing at the calendar on the desk, she said something she shouldn''t have said. I cant wait for the release date. Without noticing the huge events that were about to happen that day. Chapter 189 Chapter 189 Remake (4) A grand festival for gamers around the world. Game Festa. Numerous gamepanies around the world released new games, showcased various new technologies, and gathered investors for their programs. What about this reporter? Yeah. Who is this? No, did Reporter Kime to cover this game festa? Haha, its been almost a year since I came here as an American correspondent. I didnt know that again. How did you get to the K station and it seems to be doing very well? This festival was held in New York, USA. Reporter Kim Man-shik, who met a colleague in the industry after a long time in it, shook hands with a friendly face, and after briefly chatting with reporter Lee Dae-gi, began poking at him with a coy look. How... did this reporter get a scoop on something rted to this game festa? Is there anything special to say? You can just write an article about things that will be announced tomorrow. This reporter is talking nonchntly. Reporter Kim''s eyes began to narrow as he looked at him. Why are you like an amateur? Even this reporter knows very well that you need to obtain information that has not yet been released in advance and write an article first to attract peoples attention. And he smiled as if telling him not to pretend he didn''t know. And... the festival is tomorrow, but who would believe me if I came from the day before and wandered around this neighborhood and said that? Just looking at it, it looks like it''s wandering here and there to see if there''s any news. .... Was it too obvious? Reporter Lee Dae-gi licked his lips at reporter Kim Man-sik''s questioning, then nodded and admitted the fact. I''ve looked around a bit... but haven''t found anything in particr yet. okay....? It''s not like M station is doing this because M station wants to report on new games released by other gamepanies as a scoop... You guys are probably here to cover Arcadia-rted information, too, right? Eh... dont talk. Do you know how much our press chief is teasing reporters? Since a month ago, I was covering undercover around Arcadia Co., Ltd. to find out even a little bit of rted information, but I heard that it was really blocked. Well... they are no different from us. That''s why we''re here right now... Game Festa, the biggest festival in the game industry. However, for a broadcasting station that broadcasts all kinds of news every day from all over the country, this festival with a narrow theme of games was not a big topic. Especially if it''s a presentation held in a foreign country, not just Korea. However, this year''s festival was a bit different in character. [Arcadia Co., Ltd. will not stop as apany that serves Arcadia. We will always run without rest to introduce more advanced virtual reality technology to the public, and to do so, we will challenge and try anything and always move forward as a pioneer in the virtual reality industry. ] Those who dered the expansion of octopus expression in order to widely spread andmercialize it. And Arcadia''s first move surprised everyone. [We are proud to announce to you that this is the first Miracle Project we are promoting to achieve that goal. I mean Master Hand, an integrated work assistance system for people with disabilities.] Dreamer, which is used when essing Arcadia. The virtual space that could be essed using it was a typical office that can be found in anypany. [It doesn''t matter in this office whether you are blind, deaf, or physically disabled. No braille keyboards, special input devices, or assistants are required. Just like everyone else, you can independently and independently carry out tasks that suit your abilities.] A space where you can work and learn just like everyone else without any physical limitations. And the appearance of people with disabilities experiencing this firsthand shocked the world. I see you! I can''t believe it..... Heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..... Ah..... Now I can work too..... Thank you very much. Arcadia has given me a new life. [In the future, your disability will not hinder your work or learning efficiency. For that reason,panies that avoid hiring these people will also disappear. Children born with congenital disabilities will be able to study just like everyone else through this Master Hand, and when they grow up, they will be able to work the same way someday.] Although physicalbor or work is impossible, administrative or clerical work A system that allows you to demonstrate the same abilities as others at work. The host who revealed this said with a bright smile on his face full of pride and reward. [I hope that the world we live in will be a little more discriminated against.] In this way, Arcadia Co., Ltd. caused a huge stir around the world. It proves the enormous potential of virtual reality and gives a new life to those who are always alienated from members of society. Therefore, the news that Arcadia Co., Ltd. will participate in this Game Festa stimted all media outlets around the world. What kind of extravagant scoop will it surprise the world with? But I dont think this will be easy. I dont know if it was intentional, but all the otherpanies had booths set up and preparations were finished, but Arcadia waspletely empty. uh? Have you been inside? Wait a minute... but it seems that the biggest booth has been upied and not prepared yet, maybe its because the information will be exposed, but it looks like they are deliberately preparing for the event. Man-sik muttered, unable to hide his dismay at the words of this reporter, who said that it would not be of much use if he kept fighting cancer here. What the heck..... But I was wondering if I could get something, ha ha..... I''m going to break it again with the director. How are you? Over there, the big American broadcastingpanies are also struggling without getting anything. Is there any other way for us? It''s all information that will be released tomorrow anyway. Thats true, but... Dont be too mean to death. How about a drink since we havent seen each other in a while? ...Ehh I don''t know! Yes let''s go. Kuh... I knew that. Where did that Insadong drunkard go? Two reporters go drinking together in a faraway ce. When reporters from all over the world, like them, are struggling to somehow obtain information in advance with interest. A final inspection was being carried out at the hotel amodation where Arcadia''s design & development team was staying. [Quaaang.] [Nexus destroyed. Red team wins!] [End the game.] Chwiiik. The Nexus explodes with intense blue light with shy effects. The game ended like that, and the staff came out of the capsule one by one. Looking at them, Jaeyoung asked with bright eyes. how is it? A question full of hope. In response to that question, the staff looked at each other, and soon a shout like an explosion filled the room. Fuck! It''s overaaaaaa! mom! I''m done! uh uh uh I felt like dying! Manager, please give us the vacation you promised when this is over! If you don''t give it to me, I''m really going to break into the boss''s office! Wow... I am finally freed from this hell. fuck! Shivaaaaaa! vacation! bonus! vacation! bonus! Vacationaaaaaa! 3 weeks. After Jaeyoung announced that he would remake the game himself. They had to see what real hell is. uh? Are you done already? Good for you. Then, from now on, please check the expected problems that may ur inbat situations ording to the characters and the bnce ording to the characteristics. If you''re done, then... Have you not finished yet? Hmmm..... You ate and smoked a cigarette for 15 minutes while chatting with assistant manager Park Joon-shik. Ah, its impossible because there arent enough people? Then, shall I ask the boss to reinforce the manpower? yes? please don''t do that? no why? There is no impossible in my dictionary. do it. make it even if it doesn''t work Even a writer who is blocked from writing wille out if he squeezes it. Jae-young, who wielded a devil-like shy whip that made impossible things possible, to all the design & development team members. His directing, which tightens and loosens employees to the extent that it can be called art, and draws out all hidden energy to the limit and utilizes it, was so skillful that even manager Yang Min-hyuk was shocked and could not keep his mouth shut. It''s a monster... how on earth is this possible...?'' Quaaaaagh! I really think I''m going to die... I''m not going to die. Do not worry. When I''m done with this, I''ll let you sleep for an hour. Ha, an hour of bedtime! Aaaaaa! Truly a scene of inhuman exploitation. It was so harsh that thepany would explode if they reported it to thebor office right away, but no one could lie down. Now, if this project is sessful, the manager promises you a month of paid vacation and a 2000% performance bonus. For these three weeks, lets live with the mindset of I am a tool. One month vacation...? 2000% incentive pay? Those who put their real life into those two things and put everything on the line for this project. And the results were quite satisfactory. The images of those who cheered as if vacation and bonuses were already confirmed and cried that they were finally freed from this hell clearly proved that. I... Jaeyoung student? yes? Manager Yang Min-hyeok carefully whispers to Jae-young among the cheering employees. At his words, Jaeyoung turned his head and asked. Thats... the vacation and performance pay you promised... Actually, since Ive been watching from the side, I think I deserve it... Theres no precedent for giving it so generously. ..... Employees who realized the miracle of making the impossible possible under Jae-young, who shed a whip and bit a huge carrot in their mouths at the same time. But when it came time to give them the carrot, Manager Yang Min-hyeok whispered to Jae-young with worried eyes. However, Jaeyoung smiled at his words as if it was nothing. Oh, I told the boss about that in advance, so you dont have to worry. what....? Um..... I asked for vacation and performance pay while telling the staff that they are working hard. Was it embarrassing to ept so readily? If this was the case, I should have called it a 3000% bonus. ..... President Lee Mi-yeon, who promises to give an unimaginable amount of performance bonus that she has never received before. However, Arcadia Co., Ltd.''spany policy and direction of personnel regtions were not so generous with additional incentives instead of giving a huge basic sry, so Manager Yang Min-hyuk realized that if he had requested it, he would have heard Are you crazy?'' I knew very well. That Jaeyoung student..... by any chance... So he asked with a nervous face, just in case. What is your rtionship with the boss? Could it really be the hidden younger brother as rumored? Secret rumors spreading inside thepany. I asked if that was true, but Jaeyoung replied with a puzzled face as if what he meant. no? Are you just a secret friend? Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Remake (5) Ladies and gentlemen! Wee to the world''srgest game festival Game Festa The New York''! puffer pung. puff. The building opened to everyone at the same time as the loud sound of firecrackers sounded and announced the start of the festival. And those who had been waiting for this moment, pitching a tent in front of him, started to rush at it like predators who saw their prey. Don''t push! You bastards! line! Get in line, everyone! Aaaaaaa! help me! Out of breath... A dangerous moment when it seems like a major ident is about to happen when you get hit here and there by the crowd that has gathered in an instant. Employees who tried to control people somehow to prevent idents had to sweat for a long time. Wow... what the hell is going on? It wasn''t to this extent... I will. Do you think people are very interested in this year? Employees who have hosted and been in charge of Game Festas in various countries around the world. Because I was well aware of the previous festive atmosphere, I could clearly feel how abnormal the reactions of those who were rushing forward now were. No, Arcadia was involved, so even though we rented a stadium as wide as possible...? The number of people gathered alone seems to be well over 100,000? Iknow, right. Look at the line over there. They say those are all vehicles that are trying toe here. A line of cars lined up far into the distance. Cars stretched so long that it was impossible to know where they ended, waiting to enter the exhibition hall, creating a huge traffic jam. Wow..... Really, this isn''t a joke...? No matter how much it is the first day ..... New York''s famous Yankee Stadium with a maximum capacity of 50,000. Of course, various booths were installed throughout the building, including the stadium field, to amodate several times the number of people, but they could not help but break a cold sweat as they saw the endless crowd of people. This... I need to get my head straight, right? If you do it wrong, a super-sized ident could happen. I will... The worldsrgest game festival, held for three days, began with the determination of the guides who were gulping their saliva with such nervous faces. It has been very sessful in the midst of the tremendous interest of countless people whoe here non-stop. * * * Wow, people are not kidding. Really, why are there so many of them? Originally, it is a ce where gamers from all over the world gather. And since its New York, there could be more. While Arcadia employees are busy preparing for their presentation, Jaeyoung and Jaekyun freely roam here and there in their spare time. The two began to explore the booths of many well-known gamepanies, wandering around like fish in water. and! Jaeyoung! Look at this! They say they''re releasing an expansion pack in Ice Storm! Oh OWW? OWW, the signature game of the world-renowned gamepany Ice Storm'' and a superrge MMORPG game with hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide. Jaekyun shouted with bright eyes as he saw a huge billboard saying that an expansion pack would finally be released with arge-scale update after several years. However, unlike his reaction, Jaeyoung''s reaction was a bit sluggish. Who ys RPG games on aputer these days? All it takes is to follow the set script andplete the quest. Why did you do so many things in the past? That is an old story. I did it for a long time until middle school and quit right before I went to high school. okay....? More than that, an ice storm is quite dizzy. If you''re still clinging to apletely obsolete genre like this, I''d rather just start developing a new game. A world where Arcadia, a virtual reality game with an overwhelming level difference that is impossible topare, exists even though it is a masterpiece game that once dominated the era. That''s why no matter how much they tried to look good through memory correction, there was no way that such a crude looking nogada game would catch the eye of gamers whose eyes had be too high. Come and see. Ooh expansion pack release! 10 minutes! If you experience it for 10 minutes, we will give you a free gift! Hey there student! Why don''t you give it a try? The ice stormpany''s booth that only blows flies. In order to somehow promote the game, they even tried to attract people by touting customers, but people''s reactions were too harsh. Oh? Was that still in service? Ugh. Wow... How did I ever y a game with graphics like that? To think that this was praised as a god game..... Looking at it now, its a shit game, right? Are you giving game items as free gifts? I dont do it. An era of upheaval in which the flow of industry itself waspletely reversed. Even in the desperate struggles ofpanies that became victims of this harsh era in which all games that were praised in the past turned into shitgames, people did not pay any attention. Its a pity...something is a little sad. What can I do? If you make a fun game, everyone will do it. No matter how many users have moved on to virtual reality, the market still has a level of consumers that cannot be ignored. Because of the enormous price of over 10 million won per unit, young students and those who could not afford it were still feeding the existing gamepanies. Still, I cant make as much money as I used to. However, the number of wallet warriors who spend money on games has decreased tremendously. In the end, sales and performance of gamepanies were crashing through the bottom and falling toward the bottom, but Jae-young said with a smile. That''s good. Do you look normal in the past when you poured hundreds of millions of dors into a single game and sold all kinds of packages at ridiculous prices? whale. The 1% user group that ounts for 90% of game sales. From apany standpoint, most of the games are customers who need to care the most.... Especially in the case of Korea, there were many cases of operating whale-only games for whales of whales. And Jae-young, who has been trembling with such management and has folded countless games. Because he was such a person, looking at the gamepanies going down in a situation where Arcadia is encroaching on all the markets, I felt a sense of exhration rather than sadness. This is all self-inflicted. Just look at the story of the maple leaf. You were the first to fall down because you were just thinking about extorting money from users while secretly talking about probability. Have you seen anyone doing that in a PC room these days? They don''t even think about enhancing the game quality, they put up an exorbitant experience table and repeated quests, and even a huge barrier to entry that can''t be ovee unless you pay for it. Because of this, the game world itself was on the verge of catastrophe due to the release of the first virtual reality Arcadia and a series of incidents. -Are there any kids who are still clinging to this shit mangem? -lol. My head isn''t broken yet. -Disclose the odds or do it right, you bastards. -Anyone who ruins thousands of 2D games like this? With that money, y Arcadia. -God Lecadia, everyone. A game without charging induction. A game full of things to do. A game with infinite degrees of freedom. It was natural for people to be enthusiastic about Arcadia, a perfect world that seemed to exist only in the imagination. And as if to prove the heat, people who came to this festival were flocking to one booth. [Arcadia Co., Ltd.] A virtual reality servicepany that threw a vote for the first time in this game festa. Usually this festival was used for the purpose of announcing new games, so people were watching them with strange anticipation. With a strange anticipation in the heart of what kind of huge tidal wave to follow Arcadia''s sessor, the game will be announced. Oh, I guess Im going to start now. Ooh, shouldnt we go over there and help? Jae-gyun is shocked to see the design & development team memberse up to the booth and prepare something. However, Jaeyoung shook his head and said. Well... I won''t stop you if you want to help, but I won''t go up there. huh....? why? Jaeyoung, who yed a pivotal role in the development and core of this project. Jaekyun also did a lot in this project, but it was Jaeyoung who did what no one else could, so he couldn''t understand Jaeyoung''s words that he would not stand in the spotlight and praise from everyone. If you go up there and sell your face, you get tired. I have already told manager Yang Min-hyeok and other team members in advance, so even if you dont know, I will never be mentioned. why....? It''s nice to be famous. If you also take this opportunity to reveal your true identity... No. I''m sorry... Jae-young refuses to reveal his name. Jae-gyun, who was about to tell him to disclose Dex to the whole world, suddenly realized something and quickly apologized. Would you like to pay attention to these crazy perverts who cry while tearing their ck panties? I really want to just drop the game and go diving, but I cant. Ugh... Im sorry. Guild What color are Dex''s panties?''. Ironically, the size of the guild, which was created by these goddamn sexually inclined people, grew exponentially as Dex'' performance shined. -I want to cross the Japanese continent to find Dex. How do I get there? -Ah, if you go to the Caribbean region, there is a kid giving a quiz about Dex. If you listen carefully to what he says and answer the questions correctly, they will sell you tickets for regr flights. - Search the guild bulletin board for that. Someone sorted it out, but there were about 400 problems? Memorize well. If you fail the quiz, you cannot try again for a week. -Does anyone know the brand of panties Dex wears? Jae-young, who wanted to burn down their headquarters, even if it meant exhausting all probability just by looking at it. The fact that they have grown into thergest guild in the second continent where Korea ys is truly heartbreakingly sad. However, Jaeyoung almost gave up halfway because he knew that it would be impossible to get rid of all these damn leech-like perverts. It was enough for them to be humiliated for the purpose of satisfying their perverted desires in virtual reality and the Inte, so he pushed Jae-gyun on the back and said, If you are going, go quickly. You are about to begin. Ughhh! Jae-kyun nces at Jae-young with an indescribable feeling and then rushes to somewhere. When looking at his back. At Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s booth, the sound of the microphone began to resonate. [Hmm..... Hello gamers all over the world. My name is Yang Min-hyeok, who is in charge of the design & development team at Arcadia''s Korean branch. This is the first time we have participated in this Game Festa. Please look at it cutely even if there are mistakes, and we hope our booth can give you a pleasant experience this time. Also...] Manager Yang Min-hyeok''s greetings continued for quite a long time. By the time people''s faces start to grow annoyed at such a boring greeting, as if the principal is lecturing in front of all the students and saying that he''ll say one more thing for a few more minutes. He proudly announced to everyone. [I know that manyputer-based gamepanies have been in a difficult situation since the recent release of Arcadia. This not only discourages many developers, but also has the side effect of disappearing future talent.] A situation that naturally urs when onepany monopolizes and monopolizes. Mentioning such side effects, he said with a smile of anticipation to those who were looking at him with curious eyes. [That''s why we proudly reveal Arcadia''s second Miracle Project to you. The Glory of the Past is a project that revives games that are now in decline, but which enthralled countless gamers in the past era.] Chapter 191 Chapter 191 Remake (6) [The Glory of the Past, the revival of games that are now in ruins but enthused countless gamers in the past era.] Director Yang Min-hyeok''s words on a superrge screen A cinematic video that started ying on Those who watched it with bated breath began to be agitated by the familiar background sound and familiar figures. I think I saw it somewhere. Hmm... Is this a new RPG game? Past glory...? Why is the name of the project so meaningful? Something familiar background sound and familiar video. The eyes of the people who continued to watch the video, wondering if it was long, widened as if they were about to pop out. [I''ll punish you!] [Lieutenant Tyri! I will follow your orders! In vain!] [Draum is out! Haha!] That League of Legends? What crazy! The worldwide popr AOS game League of Legends''. Even those who had not yed the game were astonished to see heroes they had seen at least once appear one by one and spit out their famous lines lively. [Kwakwakwang. Kwakkwang.] [Pushuk. Push shook.] [Puong.] [The turret has been destroyed.] The heroes are fighting fierce battles with all sorts of fancy skill effects. In addition, fierce line warfare in which the soldiers of each camp attack the turrets of the opposing camp and the turrets emit powerfulsers to show off their majesty. Also, a dragon that looks familiar and a giant neutral monster called Karun. Several major contents are seen and passed by quickly, and at the end of the video, popr hero Jackie, who is called the master of weapons, whispers in a yful voice. [Tada~. I''m back.] A phrase that appears huge on the screen as the finale. The cheers of the people who saw it poured out powerfully as if a bomb had exploded. -League of Legends Reborn.- Aaaaaaa! oh my god! Amazing, Great! Fuck! isn''t this a dream? The league of real legends ising out in virtual reality? Mom Im dying! I do this unconditionally. I think Im going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! Long live Arcadia! AOS games areing to virtual reality aaaaa! Powerful shes are constantly pouring down and reporters capturing the heat of this hot scene on camera. They, too, were busy running around, contacting somewhere after Arcadia''s second Miracle project was announced. Yes, chief. The details of the project have just been revealed. I will write an article right away and post it. yes? You said you came down from the news station to cancel regr broadcasting right away and organize an emergency? You want me to go live right now? Is that real? Your boss. Only League of Legends has been announced. We have yet to confirm whether other games are also subject to production... Wait a minute... Im going to send you an article right now... Everyone sweats as they look at these enthusiastic people and pick up the phone. among reporters. Manager Yang Min-hyeok continued the story in a low voice. [My staff and I had a lot of thoughts while watching articles mixed with concerns that the advent of virtual reality technology and the release of Arcadia were eating into the game industry. How can we provide new food for the future to many developers who are afraid of losing their jobs? And will it be possible to solve this unfortunate situation where well-made games are disappearing into the dark side of history without being able to shine in ordance with the trend of the times ? Everyone was silent and listened to his words because there were no people who did not know the progress of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which is destroying the game industry worldwide. [That''s why I pushed forward with this past glory project. To take the popr game IP of the past as it is and recreate it based on virtual reality technology so that you can feel nostalgic for the past and at the same time provide a satisfactory service as a game to enjoy.] [And a game loved by many gamers . It is a real honor to be able to announce to you that the League of Legends'' has be its first main character.] With those words, Manager Yang Min-hyeok introduces someone. A bald foreigner came out, shook hands with him, and took the microphone. Oh, that bald man...? who? When everyone is staring at you with a puzzled face. He started talking with a thrilled face. [hello. My name is Joe Diggler, general director of League of Legends''.] Huh! You were the League of Legends director? Somehow, I feel like Ive seen it somewhere. [I was very surprised when I first received an official offer from Arcadia. When it was said that this League of Legends'' would be produced in virtual reality, I was personally very skeptical about whether it would be possible. If our ssic control method is applied in the virtual reality system, can it provide the same fun to the users? I also wondered.] Virtualization ofputer games. He thought it was impossible because it entailed a huge amount of work, not just to improve the level of graphics, but topletely redesign the game itself. However, after experiencing thepleted work provided by Arcadia Co., Ltd., he had no choice but to admit it. [However, I would like to give the highest praise I can give to the staff of Arcadia''s design & development team whopletely put my foolish doubts to rest and recreated it into apletely new fantastic game. Also, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Icarus'', an action fighting game that helped me apply a new system ofbat system, items, and characteristics.] Icarus...? What is it? Did Icarus coborate on this too? Wow, great. The action itself is very fun and colorful. How the hell has the game changed? Icarus, an action fighting game that has be a game for the deceased, but has received great acim for its splendid action and sense of hitting. People were surprised by the announcement that elements of that popr work had been incorporated into the League of Legends. And soon, curiosity and excitement began to grow in their eyes. [Oh, and personally, I would like to thank Seomin University in Korea and a talented student who helped me a lot with this project. I heard that even though he is still a young college student , he has the skills to be matched by other developers active in the front line. He was startled by Joe Diggler''s unexpected remarks and actions as he smiled at him and bowed his head to express his gratitude. What is college student...? Where is Seomin University again? hey! Hurry up and contact the coverage team to find out! What the hell are you talking about? A college student participated in this project? Reporters'' keen eyes were on Jae-kyun. Jaeyoung was relieved that he hadn''t been up there, seeing journalists trying to get hold of his phone in that short time while taking pictures of him with a camera and trying to figure out Jaekyun''s personal information. Whew..... I almost got really tired after going up there without thinking.'' That time when you are proud of yourself in the fact that your choice was right. I couldn''t stand it any longer, so I started to hear voices that seemed to bementing here and there. Oh, I want to try it myself. Do you not show in-game videos other than cinematics? Isnt there a separate experience booth for general users? When are you going to release it! The atmosphere seemed like they would break into the stage at any moment if they didn''t give a detailed exnation quickly. Diggler grinned at the heated atmosphere of the people and raised his hand to calm them down. [Once the game is notplete. There''s still a lot to work on and a lot to review. The process of creating a new game is not that easy.] It is still difficult to release. At that moment, when a look of disappointment appeared on everyone''s faces, Diggler continued. [But still, it seems that about 30 heroes are ready to go to the battlefield.] That means... [Today, the legends of the past wille together again and show you a new legend.] Pushi profit. Pot-pot-pot. Dozens of lights turn on with those words. And dozens of people began to walk out between the luxurious Dreamer capsules that appeared with a roar of steam. That one? No way! People who recognized the identities of the people who appeared on stage at once. When their faces were stained with astonishment, Diggler shouted with a childlike face more excited than anyone else. [Legendary Mujubu Prost VS PLG. EU! We will present their intense game of the day in front of you again here today. In the League of Legends Reborn'', newly reborn in virtual reality!] A match that warmed everyone''s hearts. Mujubu VS PLG. The cheers of those who were enthusiastic about being able to watch their game again were those of emotion and joy that came from the heart without any lies. Waaaaaa! Mad Death Brother! Look over here! Long live Arcadia! Long live the League of Legends! Long live Icarus! I am your dog and pig from now on! Wow! grunt! This is enough, you''re just a ck cow! fuck! Open the capsule today! The match started amid tremendous cheers from the crowd. Jaeyoung, who was watching this from a distance with a proud expression, looked at someone talking next to him and made a surprised expression. I''ve been looking for a while, but you''re hiding in a ce like this? uh....? I didn''t know the boss wasing here either. Because I didnte here as the boss. I came purely as a spectator. CEO Lee Mi-yeon approached her wearing sunsses and arge hat covering her face. She cautiously spoke to Jaeyoung, conscious of whether anyone around Yeonshin would notice her. But... youre surprisingly morepetent than I thought, right? The way they treat their staff is extraordinary. What. Its the result of everyones hard work. Jaeyoungughs and mumbles as if he has not done much. However, President Lee Mi-yeon, who checked all processes throughout the development process, knew. This virtual reality version of the League of Legends, which people are now enthusiastic about, would have been destined to disappear quietly amidst harsh criticism without Jae-young. There seems to be a difference of opinion about that part... but let''s leave it like that for now. Do you have any thoughts of wanting to work for mypany? I dont think it would be a problem if I just put myself into the front line without having to graduate from college. Jae-young, who showed excellent skills in game development as well as ying Arcadia. Coveted for his outstanding talent, President Lee Mi-yeon asked, looking at him for the first time with a coveted look. However, Jaeyoung said without the slightest hesitation. no, I do not want. Why not? Apany that can provide more generous welfare and annual sry than any otherpany. It was apany that was so popr that people lined up to submit applications that they didn''t even want to work for literally because they wanted to work, but Jae-young said with sincerity. Because I have to y. ..... Yes. He was just crazy about games, like other college students in their 20s. However, the problem was that I was too good at the game. Chapter 192 Chapter 192: The Invisible War - The glorious return of the hotly burning game Festa legend. - League of Legends'' reborn as virtual reality. Is this the beginning of a new revival? -Win-win deration of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Exciting game world. Normally, Game Festa is not even mentioned unless it is on a game-rted news site. However, this year, it has been on the front page of major media outlets and has attracted a lot of attention. [The first beneficiary of the project announced by Arcadia is a popr game called League of Legends'', which has beenpletely transformed based on Arcadia''s virtual reality technology. Users who watched the gamey at the Game Festa responded explosively, and when this was announced, the stock price of Pyatt Games'', which produced League of Legends'', rose by 82%. So.....] Project The Glory of the Past. Famous games produced in the past based onputers are recreated in virtual reality. The game industry was astonished when they saw the contents of the project and its actual symbol, League of Legends Reborn'', and Repic Games, a superrge gamepany that owns arge number of famous IPs, showed a particrly strong reaction. Is that true...? You mean recreating an existing game in virtual reality? Pike Bundle, CEO of Refic Games. He even convened an emergency board meeting and began seriously discussing the issue. That''s right. ording to the Past Glory'' project unveiled by Arcadia Co., Ltd., it announced that it would provide equipment and development know-how to recreate famous IPs in virtual reality. In addition, immediately after the announcement, rted proposals were sent via e-mail to all famous gamepanies, including ourpany. An e-mail sent to famouspanies around the world at the same time as the project was unveiled. It was like a rope given to those struggling in the mire to somehow survive. We provide Lucid Dream, which is necessary for virtual reality production, and train employees on rted devices. Not bad. Lucid Dream, a virtual reality integrated production system that is only open to the public but not officially released. He gave a greedy expression to the contents of the proposal that limited the provision of it to thepanies participating in the project and even provided training on how to use it, but soon frowned at the tightly written requirements. It''s obviously a good offer, but the requirements are too harsh. Once a game is released in virtual reality, all rights rted to subscriber information and server operation must be delegated to Argos Corporation. In addition, various adjustments such as system or update patches can only be made after receiving approval and inspection from Arcadia Co., Ltd. The requirement to just create a game and hand over management rights. In a way, it was an absurd suggestion to obey them, so in the conference room,ints began toe and go. Is this a reasonable requirement? No, no matter how original technology it is, this is tyranny. To hand over all management rights. If this happens, there is no way the game will operate properly. Those who even express their anger saying that the conditions are uneptable. However, these were not all conditions required by Arcadia Co., Ltd. And... when you release a game in virtual reality, you have to pay 10% of the total sales as amission. 10% of my total sales? Isnt it business profit? You''re crazy... Are you offering these ridiculous conditions as an offer? If we do it this way, which gamepany will participate? This is not a win-win situation. Isn''t that a deration to obey them! A proposal sent by Arcadia Co., Ltd., shouting for mutual prosperity. However, those who took a closer look at the side realized that this was a rotten rope. But despite knowing all that, Pike Bundle, the CEO of Refic Games, muttered with a weary look on his face. I am well aware of your concerns on the board. I too was indignant at first when I discovered the hidden intention behind this proposal. I felt like I wanted to openly pour out vitriol, asking if this was a proposal right away. He thought about ying the media by revealing their nasty ns through a mediapany he was close to. However, because he knew very well through his long social experience that the reality was not so rosy and grim, he could not bear to put it into action. But... we have to face the present reality. How enthusiastic people are about the release of the game Arcadia, and how fast the number of users, who are decreasing day by day, are moving into the world of virtual reality. Due to the expensive capsule price, users still remain. However, the reason why they still remain at Repic Games is not because the game is too fun, but because they just went over to Arcadia and remained there, so their loyalty was not very high. -Oh no game. -Do I still have to y games with these graphics? - What is the waiting time of 20 minutes to turn a round without new arrivals? - Because it''s a restaurant. Is the food served right away at a high-end restaurant? -What are you saying? - Hey! I can''t eat it because I''m annoyed! I should y another game. Delete. good luck. Worst case scenario where user churn is elerating. So, Bundle had no choice but to face the fact that he and thepany had no choice left. Or submit to them with all authority taken away. Or die a miserable death in this endless mire. So, he got up from his seat and dered to all the board members with a sad face. For us... or not exactly, the entire gaming industry has no choice. It is a situation where we should be grateful that they gave us a chance in this way, rather than just taking all the profits. No, that''s...! What do you mean! No matter how bad the situation is, what kind ofpany is Refic Games! World''s #1 Repic Games. Until they grew into world leaders in the game industry with dozens... hundreds of hits, they have ovee countless nd storms. Therefore, there were some members of the board of directors who wanted to resist with the mindset that this too would pass, but in the end, they had no choice but toe to a final conclusion after intense discussions. * * * [Repic Games expresses its deep appreciation for Arcadia''s win-win proposal and expects to be a good partner moving toward the future together.] Pike Bundle, CEO of Refic Games, appeared in front of the media. Upon hearing his announcement that he would join hands with Arcadia Co., Ltd., CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled at Executive Director Myeong-han Kwon and said, I am surprised. It was thepany I expected the most violent reaction from. Repic Games, which can be said to represent the global game industry. Even before 24 hours had passed since Arcadia''s proposal was sent, the appearance of those who responded by raising a white g faster than any otherpany was showing a marked difference from the scenario she expected. And that''s what Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han also said while nodding his head in surprise as if he agreed. I was also surprised. I was thinking it would be one of thosepanies that are vehemently against it. Requirements of Arcadia Co., Ltd. I didn''t bother to exin it to them, but in fact, the conditions that Arcadia Co., Ltd. put forward were extremely natural and unavoidable. AI Alice''s control and high-performance facilities provided by Ajin Electronics in top secret. In addition, a virtual reality system that nopany can afford if it is not for the innovative programs of Argos. It was essential to rece it, but the existing gamepanies that did not know it showed strong resistance to the fact that they had to lose most of the powerful authority they had. Thanks to Refic Games white g, many gamepanies are paying attention and responding positively, but there are also those who oppose it saying that it is absolutely uneptable. Managing Director Kwon Myung-han showing something by manipting his smartphone. It was an article that had just been uploaded. -An anti-game coalition calling for the overthrow of Arcadia. Will their resistance be victorious? [We must stop the rampage of those who monopolize virtual reality technology and monopolize the world''s game industry using their superior position! That''s why we will start legal action in each country to stop Arcadia''s monopoly activities that go beyond the limit, and we will stand in solidarity with everyone! Virtual reality technology belongs to all of humanity. As a first step to make it transparent as soon as possible and ensure that all mankind can benefit from it equally...] Already in front of the camera, there are even voices saying that this is an act of a monopoly and that the government should step in and restrict it right away. President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a fishy smile at their movement to form a coalition and unite to resist. oh. That''s an interesting idea. How can the logic of releasing virtual reality technology to the public while tying it up as a monopoly can be woven like that? In the end, they want to eat it all by themselves as they normally do, so they insist that even a child who asks them to spit out the technology will not do it. Looking at her chilly smile, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han continued. First of all, I am looking at thepanies that participated in that statement... It seems that there is probably a lot of influence from the Chinese government. The Chinese government shows the most closed tendency in foreignpanies'' domestic activities. CEO Lee Mi-yeon frowned and said, as if troubled by Executive Director Kwon Myung-han''s statement that their involvement was suspicious. Are you in China again? Anyway, it really gives me a headache. Even at the time ofunching Arcadia, the Chinese market was about to give up onunching the service due to all kinds of regtions andws. At the end of the negotiations, the Chinese government conceded and was able to dramaticallyunch Arcadia, but even then they continued to try to intervene in thepany''s operations. Anyway, why are there so many countries that are frantically trying to get virtual reality technology out of it somehow... they wont be able to use it properly anyway. virtual reality. It is such an unusual technology that experts in rted technology refer to the existing technology as a product of super-science far ahead of hundreds of years. No country had the infrastructure and technology to handle this normally, so President Lee Mi-yeon was fed up with their shallow tricks. First of all, check the list ofpanies that participated in this statement carefully and put them all on the cklist. We will closely monitor him so that he cannot participate in any projects rted to ourpany in the future. All right. Oh, and just in case, I thoroughly check the recruitment of employees. In this case, we will bepletely consistent with no response. You dont even have to write a counter-article. yes....? The other side is determined to drive it into a viciouspany. At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, who said not to do anything, even if it is not enough to immediately publish a refutation article and thoroughly fight public opinion, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han asked with a puzzled expression. However, at such an executive director, Myeong-han Kwon, she muttered with evil eyes shining. Im definitely going to weed it out this time. We need to find out who all the guys are against ourpany and who are outright plundering virtual reality technology. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, had the rudeness to repay grudges 100 times even if she forgot the favor. Chapter 193 Chapter 193 Server Integration (1) League of Legends. The game, which was splendidly revived in virtual reality, received explosive attention and praise from teenagers and twenties and surprised the world by recording unbelievable results. -League of Legends. Reached #2 in Weekly Popr Games. -1.4 billion new subscribers and 500 million concurrent users. Unprecedented great sess. - Virtual reality remake. A busy gaming world. - Enthusiastic returning users. Why are they enthusiastic? [Hmm... First of all, I like that the characters are lively. Also, it''s moreplicated than before, but it''s nice to be able to y in a variety of ways while shooting tension-filled battles or characteristics depending on the situation. Oh, and the colorful items are also interesting.] [It''s so realistic! Really wow..... When you first started the game, did you shed tears when you saw the Nexus and the turrets? The game of my life is revived like this... I''m really touched.] [Guys, do you know how soft the tail of a nine-tailed fox is? If you touch the tail, haha.....] The broadcasts are filled with vivid interviews of users who have yed the game. In addition, game critics and experts also gave high praise and fired support. [I don''t know who nned it, but it''s really genius. It was not just ported to virtual reality, but extracted only the strengths of the two games, League of Legends and Icarus, and excluded the weaknesses as much as possible. It''s not easy to put togetherpletely different genres of games like this... Really.....] [The graphics are really realistic. No, I didn''t expect to realize the battlefield that I had imagined so perfectly. Indeed, the potential of Arcadia''s development team is a level that no one can ignore. Besides, who else got the bnce? The harmony between the heroes is so exquisite! It''s the best!] Game quality, graphics, story bnce, fun. A perfect game that caught everything without missing anything. When it was added to the addictiveness that no one could escape easily, people began to immerse themselves in the League of Legends. -Wow..... What is Bunny Girl Raven Skin? -No, the pool party skin was so beautiful...? -haha!!! purchase! purchase! take my money! -Pay all your sry this month. A new skin added in virtual reality. It was the same design as before, but unlike simple 2D graphics, images that were so close to perfection that they were indistinguishable from reality forcibly opened people''s wallets and robbed them of their money. Holy ShiX.....is this for real...? Legendary Game Director Joe Diggler. As he looked at the earnings report in his hand, he eximed in disbelief with his eyes about to jump out. That''s right. During the two weeks of opening, sales generated from skin sales alone amounted to $230 million. $230 million. A staggering amount of 230 billion won in Korean currency. He muttered in a trembling voice that sales of approximately 15 billion won were generated in one day alone. Even though only about 30 characters have yet been implemented... this much? Or rather, didnt they set the price for all the skins at once? Skins priced between $20 and $50. However, as if the price increase was a joke, the billing power of those who opened their wallets and shoved money with fearful momentum did not weaken in the slightest. Perhaps the difference in quality level is so great that consumers do not feel expensive about the price. Of course, it seems that there are many cases where the basic skin is enough and there is no desire to buy it, but... But...? The team leader doesn''t finish his words and turns them off with a puzzled look. He sighed at Diggler''s urging and opened his mouth. We have confirmed that the purchase rate is abnormally high for certain heroes. Marie, Miss Pirate and Raven. 72% of our sales came from these three heroes. A breakdown of sales as depicted in the report. Compared to the other heroes, he could see why this abnormal situation had urred by looking at the three huge sticks sticking out as if they had pierced the ceiling. Bunny Girl Raven. Bikini Miss Pirate. Pop star Marie. Popr skins that stimte the purchase desire of male users. Looking at them, Joe Diggler said nothing. I just nod my head and mumble as if I understand everything. Does this make sense..... What kind of swimsuit skin did you make $80 million with? Anyway..... Joe Diggler realized the eternal truth that a swimsuit is the best BM (Business Model). Since then, he faithfully practiced the truth he realized, stimting the virtuous hearts of many male and female users and fiercely extorting money from their wallets. The League of Legends started its service with great sess. There is only oneint about this highly praised game in every way. Comints that newly released skins are concentrated only on handsome and pretty heroes. - Fuck, can''t we release a new skin for Murgot? Why does this guy only have one skin? -right! right! The League of Legends, stop discriminating against the appearance of heroes! -Our Sukaner is cool too! Release a new skin! Even the pick rate is low, so the minority who are not caught in the statistics. Sadly, no one recognized the sorrow of those who were always despised and discriminated against. * * * Lim Jae-kyun, a freshman at Seomin University. Once treated as a megalomaniacal pervert and hated by people, he received apletely reversed evaluation after the release of League of Legends. [I heard that Mr. Lim''s genius skills are as good as those of the pros who are ying in the field. I personally know his potential because I personally watched the production process. Looking at it this way, Seomin University is very enviable. Do you know this kind of talent in your arms? Hahaha!] Diggler''s stock price peaked with the sess of the League of Legends. Starting from his interview remarks that praised Jaekyun to the point of being burdensome, all sorts of love calls began to pour in to Jaekyun. How abouting to ourpany after graduation? They treat you the best in the industry. You don''t even need a university degree. Ill give you the general director position right now. How much do you want? yes? I''ll match up to fiverge ones. The moves to recruit him right away, even offering an unrealistic sry. Those who came to school and wandered in front of the ssroom where Jae-gyun was taking sses followed and harassed him like a stalker. Oh really. Because I don''t think about it now. Stop looking for me. At first, Jae-gyun hesitated and didn''t know what to do. However, seeing him frowning and confidently refusing as if he had gotten used to it through several experiences, Jaeyoung muttered as if he was surprised. Hmm... after all, do seats make people? Unlike the past when self-confidence seemed non-existent, Jae-gyun has improved a lot. It was Jae-young who felt an unknown sense of pride when he saw him clearly changed in response to the public''s infinite interest and affection for a different person than before. Haa... Really, I just went ahead and got it. Jae-gyun sighs deeply as he chases after Jae-young, barely avoiding them. Jaeyoungughed at him and said teasingly. Why do I have to get used to it now? Rather... Why does it seem like the people who visit me every day are different? Everything is different. No, have there been so many gamepanies in the world? Why are youing from all over Europe and causing a stir? Starting with the superrge gamepany in Korea, all the giant gamepanies around the world have been stabbed at least once. In addition, it was a disgusting jae-Gyun because it was a newpany and came from a ce I had never heard of. Ugh..... If I knew it would be like this, I would just say nothing and quietly collect royalties like you did..... Jaekyun and Jaeyoung yed a key role in the development process beyond just participating in it. As interns, not employees, they contributed to a level that would be impossible to just write down a few lines of experience on their resumes, so they received ridiculous benefits under the strong rmendation of President Lee Mi-yeon. Royalty payment of 0.001% of total sales. It seemed like a small percentage, but the League of Legends is showing great spirits by recording huge sales every day. Thanks to that, it was clear that a huge amount of money would be put into their bankbook as royalties, so the smile on Jae-gyun''s face could not be erased. But thanks to selling your face there, your reputation at school has improved. Arent you supposed to be satisfied with that? Thats right... Jaekyun shrugged his lips at Jaeyoungs words. He hadn''t been able to adapt to the gaze and reaction of people watching him since the League of Legends was released. Jae-kyun, Im going to have a drink with my ssmates today, so why dont youe too? Oh Jaegyun. Is it time today? Jaekyun, did you make a team for this group assignment? If not, would you like to join us? ah! Let''s have lunch together with Jaekyun. I have a favor to ask of you... A situation where people who normally have never spoken properly approach each other in a friendly way and propose to have a drink together. In the past, those who couldn''t find a team and sent a look of disgust when the professor forced them into the team. In addition, there is an attempt to use him as a connection point to Arcadia Co., Ltd. by abusing his position as a professor. Jae-gyun haspletely transformed from a detestable delusional perverted pig of the past to an exceptional talent with an outstanding future. However, despite the different attitudes of those people, Jae-gyun did not change at all. He just follows Jae-young and repeats his love worries and delusions about Chae-yeon. Ah, more than that, Jaeyoung. How are you? what? Jae-gyun who suddenly asks. To Jaeyoung, who asked back with an ignorant face, Jaekyun looked around and whispered cautiously. I mean Arcadia. He said he wasing back to the maind. Ah, that...? A month immersed in the development of the League of Legends and the hosting of the Game Festa. During that time, Jaeyoung in the game was returning to the Caribbean on the ship of the ck Pirates. Jae-young, whost logged on and checked the location, came to school. That''s why he said with a strange smile at Jaekyun''s words. I just arrived. Really? where are you? Caribbean? Shall I go there? Jaekyun was delighted with his words. Jaeyoung shook his head at his reaction, which seemed to want to y games together again. First of all... its Caribbean, but... its hard to meet them yet. Yes....? why? I have to stop by the elven vige. Ah... there...? elven vige. Jae-gyun frowns at the mention of going there, as if he recalled some bad memory. Seeing his reaction, Jaeyoung thought to himself. I''ve been there.....'' Jaeyoung, who told me that you were in a dwarf vige the other day. It was an advice he gave with sincerity, worried that his self-esteem would be ground into fine powder if he wandered around the elven vige for no reason, but it was Jae-gyun who seemed unable to ovee his curiosity. Okay... then I''m in Maroon Kingdom, so send me a note when you''re done. I will, then. Jaeyoung happily nods at Jaekyun''s words of quickly giving up. However, Jaekyun looked at him cautiously, wondering if he could not hold back his curiosity. By the way... why the hell are you going to the elves'' vige? Jaeyoung has just arrived in the Caribbean. However, Jae-kyun was puzzled by the fact that the destination he was going straight to was the vige of the elves, Where Tree Rest. And in response to his question, Jaeyoung smiled and replied as if it didn''t matter. To consolidate the server. Chapter 194 Chapter 194 Server Consolidation (2) Kang Tae-hoon, manager of Arcadia''s Korean branch. Leading the crisis management response team that responds to all incidents and idents on the second continent where Korean users y, he narrowed his eyes and muttered at the strange atmosphere that hovered throughout the department. It''s strange... What do you mean...? It''s so quiet... Something has definitely changed from before. idents and idents that broke out without rest, saying that the day was far away. As a result, daily life was filled with all sorts ofints and calls, and discussions and reports on rted responses. This ce, where the lights in the office were not turned off every day to the point where it was strange not to work overtime, changed from an atmosphere in which you could not let go of tension even for a moment to a rxed and rxed atmosphere. Have a drink today? Hey, my lord. Are you kicking some balls? I''m trying to make an in-house ser club. blind date? oh well Even on weekday evenings, it doesnt matter. Oh honey. Then you should go in early today. Its our wedding anniversary~?. As everyone approached 6:00 in the evening, they only looked at the clock and their minds had already left thepany. As I was looking at the staff holding the phone, quietly talking to someone, and making a personal dinner appointment, a notification sound rang on Director Kang Tae-hoon''sputer. [A message has arrived.] A work order from his immediate superior, Senior Vice President Myung-Han Kwon. Director Kang Tae-hoon, who confirmed the contents, muttered with a slightly embarrassed face. Oh, this time... Why, manager? What are you doing? An employee who noticed something by looking at his expression urgently asked. And Director Kang Tae-hoon said while receiving everyone''s tense eyes. That... I think you''ve seen the information posted on Arfandia, but they confirmed that there was a phenomenon that seemed to be a bug in the ck orc colony and told me to report it..... The ck orc colony...? A bug? What bug is it? Hmm... just that the orcs seem to be busy running around? I''m checking the contents of Arpendia, but there doesn''t seem to be anything special about it. Employees essing the Arpendia site and checking the report. After 6 p.m., they checked the contents with a little nervous face, and soon asked Director Kang Tae-hoon with eyes full of earnestness. That manager, this executive director also told me to check and report within this week, right? I dont think its a serious bug or error... If I do it tomorrow morning... Uh... Manager, its my girlfriends birthday today... A life with dinner. Employees who seemed to be finally starting to live a humane life. They, who had been working overtime until now, fearfully fell into this life, as if this golden hour was too sweet. Words I would never have uttered before. It''s time to leave work, so let''s do it tomorrow.'' Those who talk about this proudly and somehow try to keep work on time. Seeing that everyone, regardless of rank and year, was united and radiated such strong will, Manager Kang Tae-hun made a slightly absurd expression, but soon nodded and said, okay. Compared to previous events, this is nothing. Lets think about it tomorrow and everyone go home. Apletely different answer than expected. They pricked it with a curious mind, opened their eyes wide, and soon shouted with excited voices. and! Boss! It''s best! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa thank you! Ill check and take care of it right away tomorrow! Young employees who tremble with all kinds of charms and fawning. When he saw the adult male employees doing this, General Manager Kang Tae-hoon waved his hand and said with a tired expression. Okay, so hurry up and get off work. It''s past six. I didnt even apply for overtime, so what are you guys doing here? oh!te! Goodbye boss! Let''s go first! Have a good evening! Employees who look at the clock and leave in a sh of surprise. Director Kang Tae-hoon, who was left alone in an instant, looked around the empty office with a dumbfounded face and then let out augh. Heh heh..... oh... everyone has be toocent. In the past, those who would have prioritized work. However, after seeing them enjoying the present peace, Director Kang Tae-hoon did not deliberately break their will. As one of fewer than 10 people in this department... no, in this entire Korean branch, aware of the huge changes that will happen to the entire continent of Arcadia in the future. He intended to let them enjoy thisst calm before the storm. Enjoy it to your hearts content... I dont know how long this will be possible. So, he muttered to himself in the empty office, then sat down at his desk and began browsing rted data. To prepare a report under the direction of Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han. * * * After a month long voyage, Jaeyoung arrives in Korea. As soon as he arrived in the Caribbean, he headed straight to the elves'' vige. And the entrance to the vige of the elves he arrived at showed andscape that was no different from before. Uh... Ugh! help me! Get that ugly human! Users who were eliminated from the elfs'' meticulous and thorough appearance evaluation and ate (?) at the entrance. And as if it was a waste of time toe here, Jaeyoung muttered with an absurd face as he watched the elves struggling against the users who were trying to invade illegally. No, is this still a piece of shit? Jaeyoung, who thought he would quit after stopping moderately to some extent. He was also thinking that the standards for ess conditions would change because the media had already reported that gamepanies discriminated against users based on their appearance, and even the National Assembly was beaten. - Condemn hatred and discrimination against the appearance of the National Assembly. Delivered official statement to Arcadia Co., Ltd. - Anti-discriminationws. Resurrection due to elven avnche? -Scheduled to sue angry consumers. Is it a counterattack by those who are ugly''? The outside situation was already noisy once. But whether they knew it or not, the elves were hitting the walls of trees that were stronger than before and were thoroughly expelling the ugly humans. The owner told me to take care of it. Why are you here now? Tan hears Jaeyoung muttering and bruises. At his words, Jaeyoung remembered what he had said in the past. [Do as you like. I don''t care.] When she said she didn''t care, Melissa, the queen of elves, was doing whatever she wanted. Because of her, the area around the elves'' territory was not noisy every day. You damn elves! How do I look! This is not enough! Quaang. A warrior wielding a huge, heavy battle axe. He gnashed his teeth at the elves who belittled his appearance, wriggling his muscles that boasted of his ruggedness just by looking at them. Fuck! Face of an Orc...? Let''s see if that kind of soundes out no matter where the face is crushed! Kwaaang. Quaang. A user lost his temper in anger and started brandishing a battle ax in front of the elven vige. However, as if the elves were used to his reaction, they lightly dodged the attack and shouted. Level 3 Emergency urred! Ugly Human Runaway! Rangers, dispatch! They burst out of the vige shortly after hearing the elf''s cry for a state of emergency. Seeing them, Jaeyoung murmured in amazement. uh....? Is that...? You are an adventurer. They are adventurers. adventurer. In other words, users. They popped out of the vige of elves in an instant like a 5-minute waitlist, wielding an ax in anger and talking to the warrior who was destroying property. Hey uncle. If you got cut, you should just go quietly to the Dwarf Vige. Why are you messing around here? Its ugly, but what? What do you do when you are taller? They are rough like bandits. If you quietly die now, you wont be in trouble. yes? Just go. A warrior user who seemed quite strong. However, he was outnumbered, so he hesitated for a moment, then shouted in a voice filled with resentment. You traitors to this race! Are you guys still human? Kwaaang. Quaang. As if he would never back down from here, he activates his skills and strikes down the ax fiercely. However, they responded quickly to his response. Gnome! Stop that ugly human! Its Undine! A water barrier! Paralysis Poison! Double arrows! Leaf steps! Wind Force! The spirit is used to hinder his movement and block his attacks, while at the same time an arrow coated with paralysis poison flies toward a fatal vital point. He fell into a moribund state without being able to resist properly, and cursed with red bloodshot eyes until he was about to die. Aww! You bitches! Let''s see you guys sometime! I''m going to burn down the whole vige and all of those damn elves and you guys... Peruk. They deliver the final blow before his curse ends. Jaeyoung stood there nkly for a long time with an absurd expression on his face, watching him from afar as he turned gray. Wow, the elves are smart, arent they? It was quite brainy to use adventurers to protect the vige in order to minimize any possible damage. Dont you know? Is it possible to be the ruler of the Demon Realm even if you are so stupid? what? This damn chicken? No..... Come to think of it, we are good when we are stupid. very good. You''re doing great. Just keep doing what you are doing now. This bastard is really... hey! Let''s just end it with you and me today! You crazy bitch! Oh what! Even if you praise it, it''s damn good! You fucking bat! The two started banging again. Jaeyoung stood there nkly for a while, leaving Tan and L behind. And now he was able to realize the reality of the social phenomenon that the articles floating around the Inte mean. -From my point of view, good-looking bastards are the problem. These bastards are simply traitors to humanity. - Judas is better than you guys. How do you stick with the elves? - Fuck! Do you think you guys will be safe in real life? uh? People who show great hostility to good-looking people. He has been making such extreme remarks as being a traitor to humanity and about to be cleansed of the race, to the point of tilting his head to the point where viewers wondered why he exploded his sense of inferiority so much. And all thements on this post. -hehe. Contribution is also good. -Please take a look at the mirrors beforeing to the Elf Vige. - Tips for passing through the Elf Vige! Asking a stranger on the street if he is handsome. - Self-diagnosis method for passing through the Elf Vige. Have you received more than 3 confessions? Have you been in a rtionship more than 5 times? Have you dialed or received a number more than 3 times? What if any one is X? you are a dwarf! -The chews are really back. -Why don''t we meet and honestly discuss about appearance? give me your phone number -Is it good enough? The real personality has exploded. Feelings of hatred that are heating up the Inte these days. Looking at them, Jaeyoungmented that if he was ugly, he would go to the dwarf vige, and if he was handsome, he would go to the elf vige. Handsome humans who take the lead in suppressing the ugly humans who are angry and say they will burn down the elven vige. Melissa, the queen of the elves, is smiling as she achieves what she wants while maintaining the bnce of the two powers with a splitting that would cause even a skilled political agitator to kneel in admiration while skillfully instigating human turmoil. Thinking of her like that, Jaeyoung suddenly started to get goosebumps. Jaeyoung predicted that one day the second race war would break out between elves and humans. However, contrary to his expectations, Melissa was thoroughly preventing such a situation in advance. By giving all sorts of benefits to handsome humans and using them as perfect shields. Chapter 195 Chapter 195 Resurrection of the World Tree (1) Where Tree Rest, the vige of elves. In this ce, which has now turned into an area of fierce conflict (?) with ugly humans who have a passionate camaraderie with dwarves, Jae-young walked towards Melissa''s residence amidst the elves'' infinite interest. Ah! Human! long time no see! Kanna, the little elf, noticed Jaeyoung from far away and waved her hand with her little ears pricked up. When Jaeyoung awkwardly waved back at her lively and innocent smile, the eyes of the users around him began to focus on Jaeyoung. What is that guy? It''s the first time I''ve seen this face... Our Kanna greeted me in such a friendly way...? Eyes full of unpredictable vignce. It seemed that he felt curious and wary at the appearance of Jae-young, whom he had never seen before, perhaps because he was tired of searching for humans who were constantly hiding in the vige. [Check the title Savior of the Elves''.] [The conditions for entry have been met.] Maybe thanks to the title, the elves guarding the front didn''t block it and let them in with a free pass. Seeing Jaeyoung enter Melissa''s residence without hesitation, she asked with her eyes wide open. oh....? you are....? long time no see. Didn''t anything special happen...? She looks like she was busily cleaning her bow and doing maintenance. When Jaeyoung asked how he was doing with a strange expression on his face, she noticed the meaning of the question and answered with a grin. Oh sure. I had just returned from hunting and was cleaning up. It is over now. Hunting...? hunt. A word too awkward toe out of the mouths of elves who do not eat meat and live on only nt by-products such as tree nuts. That''s why Jaeyoung felt something ominous and asked with a worried expression. And the ominous fit so exactly as he expected. The ugly humans are getting more cunning and aggressive in their attempts to enter our vige. I don''t know what kind of kingdom it is this time, but it came to attack with an army, so I cleaned everything up beforeing close to the vige. ..... Yes. Elves who hate ugliness extremely much. Melissa, in particr, was willing to risk the bloodshed of staining the forest with the blood of ugly people rather than walking around in her homnd, so the great forest in the Amil area had already been stained red with the blood of ugly people. -No, even NPCs are rejected mercilessly if they are ugly. -You know what? The first prince of the Bamal Empire personally led a delegation to visit, but was silenced hahahahahaha -huh ? Wasn''t the Bamal Empire the strongest force on the continent? but how do you know -Because I was by your side too hahaha. These crazy elf bastards are really noobs because the prince is angry and runs wild, so if the ugly bastard doesn''t want to die, he says get out of here right away lol. -What is this? A cross-species elf with a reckless spirit who would mercilessly shoot an arrow into the muzzle of any opponent if he was ugly. Seeing that their exploded personalities were already working like a runaway lotive on their own, as if they were not going anywhere, Jae-young looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked. No, you dont like ugly people like that? I don''t know what it is, but it seems like it''s pretty loud, but then what are you going to do if you really can''t handle it? I don''t know if those who were hunted'' this time are the soldiers of the Bamal Empire or which kingdom, but it''s clear that this one attack won''t end. However, at Jaeyoung''s words, Melissa smiled coldly and said with a slightly mocking look. Do not worry. I don''t know if it was before, but now it doesn''t matter how many humans invade. Melissa is very confident. Jaeyoung tilted his head as if he couldn''t understand Melissa''s words, as if she was confident that she could ovee them no matter how many people came. And L, who was looking at him like that, opened his mouth. I dont know if it was before, but if its now, its not wrong. Perhaps even if humans from all over the continente to attack the elves, they will never be able to defeat them? hmm? What do you mean? Elves are basically strong in the forest. They havebat skills specialized in assassination or sniping using a bow, but what is more terrifying than that is that the entire forest where they live protects them and confuses and interferes with their enemies. The elven races received tremendousbat power correction from the topographical characteristics of the forest. In addition, the ce where they are located is not a normal forest, but the biggest forest amil, which was once designated as one of the continent''s bans, so the effect was bound to rise to the limit. Besides... thanks to Dex-sama, the World Tree was fully awakened, right? Seeing that even humans were freelymanding spirits earlier, it seems that the channeling with the spirit world, which was cut off, has beenpletely restored. In the aftermath of the Holy Demon War, after the world tree went into eternal sleep, the connection with the spirit realm waspletely cut off, and the elves could not control the spirits as freely as before. Spirit magic, which could not be used in a tense battle situation, because even summoning a lower spirit and using its power required a tremendous amount of mana and spirit power. However, from the moment the World Tree woke up, the game waspletely reversed, as evidenced by the girl in the blue dress floating next to Melissa. [Elestra, the highest level water spirit.] Heh..... It''s been a while since I''ve seen the highest level spirit. I havent seen it since the Great War. Hey, dont be caught wandering around and stay calm. It won''t do any good if those talkative bastards find out we''re going around and spread it all over the ce. Tan looks around at the spirit that is sticking close to Melissa as if it''s strange. L, who was bruising with a face that said he didn''t like him, soon finished exining to Jaeyoung. And the world tree will watch the human armye and attack the vige of the elves? If they judge that it is a threat above a certain level, they will intervene right away, right? world tree. A transcendent being that protected all life on the continent during the Great War of the Holy Spirit in the past. Even now, seeing the tremendous idea of merging all the continents scattered in Arcadia into one, it seemed clear that the likes of humans were not something that could be matched. And it seems clear that she has a particr preference for elves. When Jaeyoung thought about the existence of the world tree, he could understand why Melissa was so confident. Ha... you know what to do. It seems that they are using humans to block them well anyway, but I dont think its a situation where I can say what to do. It''s not that the personality has exploded, but the elves who have a personality that will explode from the beginning. Thinking that it would be easier to catch one more dragon than to convince them, Jaeyoung shook his head and changed the topic. Rather than that... how are the lemons and apples doing? You mean those adventurers who take care of trade with the dwarves? Is there a particr problem or not? No problem. They bring exactly what I requested... and they are surprisingly resourceful merchants. At first, they were reluctant to ept Jae-young''s request, but they epted it. However, it wasn''t long before Melissa had no choice but to acknowledge the ability of the top of the pie. If you ask me to bring you what you want, they will find and save you somehow. The other day, when I was making a magic essory , I needed siren''s tears, so I requested it without expecting much, but where did you get it from? Jaeyoung hurriedly cut off her words as she seemed to continue talking if she didn''t stop. Its okay if it doesnt matter. It''s not why I came here. Then what did youe for...? I want to talk to the world tree, is that possible? With the World Tree...? Melissa, who twitched her ears at those words and put on a puzzled expression. Then she pped her hands and shouted as if she had remembered. ah! Is it because of the request from the World Tree? yes. [Please bring me some dragon hearts. An ancient dragon-ss, if possible.] An ancient dragon-ss dragon heart. It''s not a neighborhood mutt, it''s an outrageous demand to bring you the heart of a dragon. However, Jaeyoung somehow managed to make that ridiculous request. Although, of course, Melissa didn''t seem to think he had brought it at all. You dont have to. yes....? As usual, World Tree asked me to deliver a message to him after Dex-nim left. He said that he must be having a hard time without being able to find a heart, and asked me to let him know when hees back. Meanwhile, Melissa takes out a very old map from a bookshelf on one side of the wall. She pointed to a spot on the map of the entire continent of Arcadia and said. The dragon''s heart is an extremely rare and immeasurable object. So it probably doesn''t exist on this continent, but if there is, there''s only one existence that would store it. Who is that...? I am the Dragon Lord, the leader of all dragons. I believe that there must be a dragon heart in the report that is handed down only to those who have been elected as Lords. Melissa exined while chattering with a bright smile on her face. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung could see thating back was a normal part of the process to solve this ridiculously difficult quest. From the Dragon Lord''s point of view, theplete recovery of the World Tree is a wee event. Though we may think differently, the mission of protecting and protecting Arcadia is the same. Perhaps an ancient dragon-ss dragon heart is an extremely valuable item for them too, but if I were to use it for the World Tree, they wouldn''t stubbornly reject it. And the World Tree said... that you already gave Dex-sama the means to trade? Means of trading? Have you not received the fruit of the World Tree? Ah... The fruit the World Tree gave him in his dream as a reward for waking him up. Realizing that the fraudulent item that guaranteed a tremendous increase in stats was actually a card for negotiating with the dragon, Jae-young felt as if his head was lightened. what? Master, when did you talk to the world tree? That is strange. We''ve never been away from each other... When did you make that deal? After Deathbringer was shattered, what happened when Tan, who was enraged, was having a fight (?) about staking his soul with El. Jaeyoung also hadn''t properly exined his encounter with the world tree to the two, so Tan and L looked at each other with puzzled eyes. I will give you this map. Go to the dragon lord''s rare that is supposed to be around here. And if you exin the current situation well to him, I''m sure he''ll dly agree to this deal. [The quest 30,000 li to find the dragon'' has been created.] Monstend, one of Arcadia''s bans. After seeing the quest to find the rare dragon lord nesting somewhere in a ce teeming with all sorts of powerful and dangerous monsters, Jaeyoung told Melissa. I don''t think that''s necessary. yes....? widely. Melissa asks Jaeyoung with a puzzled expression. When she saw something that looked like a bright red jewel that Jaeyoung had ced on the wooden table, she froze with a face as if her jaw was missing. This is...? Shock. fear. astonished Jaeyoung gave a brief reply to her, who was making an expression of disbelief as if she was mixed with all kinds of surprise. I already got the heart of that damn old lizard. ..... At the moment Melissa sat down with a nk expression on her face without answering anything, an rm sounded in Jaeyoungs ear. [The quest 30,000 li in search of the dragon'' has been deleted.] Chapter 196 Chapter 196 Resurrection of the World Tree (2) When ying games, there is a situation that sometimes... no, often happens. If you get frustrated with things like achievements and quests that boast a heinous level of difficulty that is malicious enough to make you question what the developer was thinking. - How the fuck do you break this? -Does this make sense to beat the highest difficulty level without getting hit even once? -That''s just a decorative achievement. It''s not made to break. Users who usually give up after trying a few times get frustrated by bumping into a wall. However, there was a saying that people often say to these people. -Don''t you know that there are no quests in the world that can''t be broken? You just don''t know how to attack yet! This word, which is often used for the purpose of giving face to people whining that the game is difficult on a daily basis, came from an unyed game called a pretty girl dating simtion, not an action or RPG game. Beautiful girl dating simtion game Life is Weird!''. 8 female characters appearing in this game. Each of them exudes a unique charm and seduced many male users, and people attacked the beautiful girls through various incidents and methods. The fun of pulling out a happy ending in a variety of ways. This game was once popr with many people, but no one was able to sessfully capture one character. [Bazooka Girl Meirin.] Unlike other normal characters, this character is crazy enough that everyone nods their heads, even if the developer actually made it out of drugs. True to her nickname, she held a huge anti-tank gun in one hand and exploded the main character with even the slightest mistake, severing her limbs. [what? I hate udon!] Quaang. [Hehe..... What kind of movie is this when the weather is nice!] Kwaang. [I don''t know! Do not talk to me! I''m annoyed today!] Quaang. . . . only once. It is an unstoppable move that sends the main character to the end of a limb amputation explosion in an instant with a single mistake in various options. In addition, the moment she died, all the saved data were blown away, so they had to start over from the beginning, and those who suffered the ending of limb amputation gnashed their teeth. - Fuck! Why did that crazy bitch suddenly break in and end up amputating his limbs! I was dating Satsuko! -Ah, if you deliberately avoid meeting her, she suddenly appears and forcibly gives you a choice. - Developers are so vicious hahahahaha. You must risk your life against it. -Isn''t this a survival thriller rather than an unpublished story? -Surviving from a crazy bitch with a bazooka hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha -The funny thing is that the other guys have standardized scripts, but only that demolition maniac has different options every day. Meirin, who shows viciousness, even provides a visiting service that wille and blow a bazooka if you leave it alone. Those who couldn''t stand her ramblings began to gather strategies to attack her through collective intelligence. Starting with detailed personal information such as her taste, personality, height and weight, and the results of the conversation scripts and choices she gave her... However, despite their efforts, there was no case where she overcame and cleared her bazooka. That''s also because the developer who developed her wasn''t some crazy bastard. [Ha ha ha May Lin? Wherever you can attack, let''s attack. Do you think I can dare to take the woman who is my masterpiece of conversion, my ideal type and my dream partner? ording to the script I came up with, the number of cases that are made is 12356. There is only one true happy ending! And that ending is only for me. You guys attack other guys besides Meirin.] Even if you make just one mistake, it''s so terrible that you have to start all over again. Unlike other characters who end up with hundreds of them, she has an incrediblyrge amount of script. It was revealed through an interview that all of this was due to the twisted desire of a crazy developer full of selfishness. And the criticism from users was also enormous. -That crazy bastard? is this a real story? -lol. is this a game -The developer decided to make it to eat. -I''m really freaking out. Isn''t thepany that released this without any modification crazy? She deliberately double-tripled it so that no one could clear it. However, even in the situation where many people were mercilessly blown up by her bazooka and frustrated, there were people who ended up seeing the ending made only for the developer. [i love you. Even the moment this world perishes...] Meirin, holding a bazooka and confessing her love while shedding tears as if thrilled, on the roof of a ruined high-rise building with its skeleton exposed. Users were shocked to see an image of her kissing the main character with a happy ending. -??? What is this? Attacked that mad bitch? -Is that important? What the hell did you do in the unyed game to leave the citypletely in ruins? -??? ??? What is the world''s end of the ending ? Are they really crazy? - How did you break this? what is the strategy? Numerous unprofessionals tried, but in the end she gave up because she couldn''t break through the huge wall. Numerous people asked with interest about the user who captivated the mind of an unpredictable crazy bitch, but he disappeared after leaving a shortment. - There is no quest in the world that cannot be broken. I just don''t know how to attack yet. hey! Dex! Can you hear me? A strong voice in my ears. Jaeyoung, lost in thoughts of the past for a moment, was startled when he found Melissa pushing her face right up close. What are you thinking about? Ah... Im thinking about the past for a moment. sorry. What did you just say? Jaeyoung asked, shaking his head from side to side. Seeing him like that, Melissa asked with a serious face. This dragon heart... where the hell did youe from? Her voice sounded quite agitated. Considering that even the world tree was considered absolutely impossible and asked to provide additional information, the current situation was absolutely not normal. And Jaeyoung himself knew that fact very well, so he mumbled with a bitter smile at her reaction. Dont even do that. I didn''t use a normal strategy and solved it with buggy y. yes? What did you just say? Melissa frowned as if she didn''t understand Jaeyoung''s self-talk. Jaeyoung said to her with a smile as if it was no big deal. it''s nothing. More... You asked where did you get this dragon heart? A situation where it is impossible to obtain a dragon heart unless it was obtained through a transaction with the dragon lord. So, with a worried face, Melissa tried to see for herself if what she was thinking was correct. I hunted and retrieved them myself. I cant believe it... I cant believe it... An old dragon ss dragon. Melissa groaned in disbelief at Jaeyoung''s words that she had hunted a transcendent being that a mere human could not dare to handle. Her eyes full of confusion. However, he seemed to be thinking about something, and then he sighed with a tired face. Haa... Really, I was proud to have known a lot of humans in my long life, but Dex-sama is a strange species thatpletely shatters thatmon sense. I hear that kind of thing often. What the hell did you do? No matter how connected to the celestial world, it would be impossible for even a high-ranking being to exert enough power to kill an old dragon-ss dragon...? When the Deathbringer embedded in the World Tree ran rampant, Melissa remembers the intense divine power she showed by instantly subduing the demon that had been encroached on by the demonic sword. However, knowing that the power wasn''t enough to kill the dragon, Jaeyoung''s eyes were still strong, saying he couldn''t understand, but Jaeyoung just shrugged his shoulders. What... I thought it would be over with a single bamboo spear? yes....? There is such a thing. The story is too long to exin one by one. Rather... now you understand why I am requesting a meeting with the World Tree, right? Encounter with the World Tree. When he asked for it again, Melissa nodded with a serious face unlike before. ....sure. I don''t think the world leader expected this situation... but I think there are enough reasons to meet him. Please follow me. With those words, Melissa stood up from her seat. Tan was giggling as if he was having fun next to Jaeyoung, who walked along without saying anything at her fast pace. Kikikick..... Look at that elfs expression. You seem very upset? It has to be. Its not umon for the world number to be wrong. Even though the World Tree brought the heart as she wanted, Melissa was shocked and agitated with a face full of confusion. However, instead of being happy, Jaeyoung felt strange about her reaction, as if she was afraid of something with a serious face, so she asked Tan and L. why? What do you mean? The Queen of Elves canmunicate directly with the World Tree. And the World Tree usually delivers prophecies about various dangers and important futures thate to the entire continent of Arcadia through the Queen of the Elves. God knows everything. A world tree that contemtes all continents and possesses some of the power of omniscience. So, just by looking at Jaeyoung, she recognized'' the titles he had, and had a vague understanding of the feats Jaeyoung aplished that she hadn''t seen in person. By the way... even that World Tree couldn''t see or recognize exactly what was happening? It is a huge shock to the elves who have absolute faith in every trivial word of the World Tree. Even the world tree''s foresight was distorted. Contrary to what was expected, it was true that bringing the dragon''s heart faster was definitely a good thing, but apart from that, it seemed that anxiety was starting to bloom in Melissa''s chest. is it? I don''t think I did anything special? Jaeyoung didn''t try to hide what he was doing or didn''t put much effort into it. But even so, he didn''t know exactly what he was trying to do, and he didn''t have words to exin the state of the world tree, so when he said it grumbled, El intervened. Thats natural. Because humans have never been so probable. Probability, the power that twists cause and effect and allows you to do what you want. L, who had been watching Jaeyoung''s actions over and over again to overturn everything by using this probability that allowed him to go against the world''s order and predetermined fate, said with a confident tone. Even I, who is watching everything directly from the sidelines, cant predict the future, so is it possible with the world tree? What do you mean? Jaeyoung asks with a curious look. But at him like that, El gave a strange smile and pointed his finger at the surrounding area. You may not know, Dex-sama, but there is always a storm of cause and effect around Dex-sama. Because of that, the fate and future of not only the person himself but also the person he encounters are distorted to an unpredictable level. It wasnt just once or twice that I went crazy and ran amok. El, who continued to be by his side, was always watching. The fate of a person who should have just died miserably turns into a destiny of conquering other continents while traveling across the ocean. A future where a prosperous city that had to live a peaceful life ispletely reduced to ashes. A future in which the continents that should have been separated originally merged into one again. The fact that the predetermined and definite fate that no one can avoid changes and turns every moment to the extent that it is so funny. Chapter 197 Chapter 197 Resurrection of the World Tree (3) Great Forest Amil. The world tree was hidden deep inside. Originally, she should have been asleep forever without even maintaining consciousness. But now she was moving and active more vigorously than ever before. pounding. pounding. Bringing nutrients and vitality back to the dry roots that are far away. Actively intervene in restoring Mother Nature and the ecosystem that was slowly copsing. I was busy trying to do things I hadn''t been able to do before. [Haa..... I lost so much of my strength while I was asleep...] The World Tree, which can be said to be the source of Mother Nature and the source of all life. Originally, the roots that stretched deep across all continents should have entangled everything, but now everyone is barely holding on to one dry continent. Realizing that the situation was so close that she could barely support the huge body, she should be grateful for the fact that she was able to wake up even now. [I need to recover my strength as soon as possible...] That''s why she made an outrageous request to the adventurer who woke her up. A request to bring a dragon heart that has powerful magic and vitality so that it can restore its strength to the fullest. This cant be... I heard that before. Rather, it doesnt appear in your dreams anymore? The world tree with an expression of incredulity. Seeing her appearing in reality exactly as he had seen in his dream and turning around the dragon heart he had brought, Jaeyoung couldn''t contain his curiosity and asked. I have recovered enough power to create an incarnation in reality. The aura around her definitely seems stronger than immediately after waking up. I could tell just by looking at all the spirits of the forest materializing and running around freely. But how the hell did you get this heart? ording to Melissa, she killed an old dragon-level dragon herself... That hasn''t happened in the realm I''m aware of, right? Did you go to another continent? I didn''t even exin, but the world tree asked for itself. At her words, Jaeyoung nodded and admitted the fact. that''s right. I had a bit of a hard time getting over it. As expected... I was right about what I expected. You are definitely special among humans. He crossed over to another continent, killed an old dragon, and returned with his heart. A ridiculous story that even a 3-year-old in the neighborhood wouldn''t believe. However, the world tree seemed to fully believe in Jaeyoung''s words without even a hint of doubt. And I could tell why without asking. I dont know what the hell happened... but the power to twist thew of causality has be iparably stronger than before. Ah, you mean probability? Although he did not know what skill it was, he was able to see through Jae-young''s character information. She stared at Jaeyoung with those amber eyes and then asked with a tired face. Besides... what the hell are you doing on another continent? Why the hell did karmae to this? why? What''s going on? A destroyer of civilization... a dragon yer... an attempt to sink the continent? There is a lot of karma that didnt exist before. Oh is that it? Jaeyoung smiled at the question of the world tree. And I started to look back on the journey I had taken so far. The work of liberating the Pirate King of the Caribbean again in order to cross over to another continent. Completely annihting the naval power of the Shoen Empire and submerging their proud naval fortress, Poseia, in the sea. And even the hunt for the red dragon Kervenian... A long, long journey that cannot be described in words. Jaeyoung didn''t say anything, just said with an evil smile. I had to go through a lot to get that one heart. There were some inevitable sacrifices along the way. If an official from the Japanese branch heard it, he would have pulled out a Japanese sword and rushed at it. Tan and El muttered with absurd eyes as they talked about the dangerous situation in which the 9th circle ultimate magic Meteor Swarm could have been lodged in the Japanese continent and the continent itself could have been torn apart if they made a little mistake. I don''t think there was a little'' sacrifice... You shouldn''t blink an eye at hundreds of thousands of sacrifices. As long as the result is good, the process doesn''t matter... Whatever the means and methods, somehow, those damn chicken wings... You have to fry them all with chicken... Shot being fired. L is looking at him with contempt. Leaving the two behind, Jaeyoung uttered a disgruntled voice toward the world tree. Ah, by the way... I wish I had told you to trade with the Dragon Lord with the fruit from the beginning. Why didn''t you tell me then? During the battle with the red dragon Kervenian, Jaeyoung came to a clear realization. It was possible to kill him because there was a fraudulent item called a bamboo spear. No matter how hard he was, hunting an old dragon was an absolutely impossible task. That''s why there was a standard way that seemed to solve the real quest, and Jaeyoung couldn''t understand her attitude that she didn''t tell me at the time and tried to tell me when she came back. Seeing Jaeyoung''s voice, the world tree said with a bitter smile. I''m sorry about that. It was information that I did not know at the time. yes....? When I first woke up, my influence at that time was limited to the Amil region. This is the information I learned as I regained my power and expanded my influence here on this entire continent. It wasnt long before I found out about it. A world tree that puts all its energy into restoring its power. In the process, Jae-young muttered while looking at her suspiciously at the excuse that was not an excuse that the roots that were rooted in the depths of the continent gradually expanded, and that it was information that he had only recently learned. Is that so? I don''t know if it''s the developer''s trick or if it''s really like that, but since it''s Jaeyoung, who has seen important clues to quests appear several times in other games in this way after a while, he nodded his head at her exnation. So... can that heart recover enough strength? The long-awaited Dragon Heart. The World Tree holding it in his hand said with a frown as if he was a bit picky. Hmm... I think its possible, but it might take a while. Of course, it''s full of fire mana, so it''s impossible to ept it as it is. The tree itself, the world tree. It was strange to imagine that she could absorb the heart of a red dragon that spews fiery mana just by looking at it, but she floated the heart to see if it was impossible. Woo woo woo. A dragon heart floating in the air. After floating for a while, it immediately flew towards the huge body of the World Tree and soon melted as if it had be a liquid. And the body of the World Tree, weakly reddish and intensely pulsating. The incarnation of the World Tree, watching it, muttered with a satisfied smile. Hmm... Dragon hearts are the best for recovery. Haa..... This enormous life force... The World Tree looks as if it has eaten some very delicious mountain and sea food. Realizing that Jaeyoung was staring at him with a greedy expression as if he wanted to eat another heart, she cleared her throat with a slightly reddened face, then managed to control her expression in an instant and said with an innocent smile. Anyway... thank you. I didn''t expect to bring it this quickly, but thanks to you, I think I''ll be able to recover my body''s power faster. A word of thanks from the World Tree. At the same time, many messages began to appear in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [You have cleared the quest Scattered Continent.] [Mythic Achievement! The power of the awakened World Tree has been dramatically restored.] [The influence of the World Tree on the Arcadia continent increases by 39%.] [ The connection with the spirit world is greatly strengthened.] [Natural spirits appear all over the continent. bes more frequent.] [Forest and nature recover faster.] . . . Restoration of the power of the World Tree. It wasn''t just a world tree. A tremendous event in which the power of elemental spirits and elves was strengthened, and jobs and creatures closely rted to nature were strengthened without doing anything. And the reward pouring out to Jae-young, who achieved it on her own, had to be enormous. However, the message that appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes was a little different from before. [Calction of rewards rted to quests.... Error.] [Rescheduled. Readjustmentplete.] [Receive the reward directly from the relevant NPC.] Um...? A message that an error has urred with the reward. Seeing that, Jaeyoung tilted her head, but she soon found out the reason through the world tree. Ummm... This is so ambiguous. What? Actually... I dont have anything I can give you in return. Originally, I was going to appoint that person as my substitute in return for bringing the dragon heart. So what? You... are beyond the scope of my interference... I honestly don''t know what to give you as a reward. Hidden ss Will of Nature. A mythical job that only one person who has been recognized as the World Tree can obtain. The job, which seemed to be specialized in spiritism, seemed to be the existing reward, but the problem was Jaeyoung''s job. Wandering song of the turbulent world. A job that was permanently assigned to him, preventing him from deleting the character and making it impossible to change to another job. Seeing how even the World Tree could not interfere with this with a puzzled face, I could see why there was an error in the quest reward. Hmm... wouldn''t you be satisfied with just a little something valuable? What... is that so? In the end, it is impossible to grant a hidden ss, so Jae-young is in a situation where thepensation must be decided through consultation with the World Tree. He said, looking at her as if he was contemting what to give as a reward. Couldnt it be like this? hmm? Do you have anything you want? The person who is said to be the surrogate. Even if it''s not me anyway, wouldn''t you need it? Um... is that so? Then allow me to appoint that substitute. That''s... a little. The world tree hesitated with a slightly perplexed face. Jaeyoung smiled and said to her, who clearly seemed to be worried that she would bring in a strange person and ask to be appointed as her substitute. You can make the final decision yourself. It doesnt matter if I just make a rmendation and consider that person once. If thats the case... Gye -soo is pleased with Jae-youngs words to only make rmendations and make the decision yourself. After a moment of thought, she nodded her head happily as if she had made up her mind. great. Then do it! [Obtained the former item, the branch of the World Tree.] The branch she holds out. Receiving it, Jaeyoung checked the item description and looked at her. Use my twig to send me someone to rmend. Then I will have a direct conversation, look at the person''s karma, make a judgment, and appoint him as my substitute if he is worthy. The world tree exins with a bright smile. However, Jaeyoung asked with a slightly embarrassed face as he held a branch of the world tree in his hand that looked like a thick tree. I... I dont understand one thing... Yes. What are you curious about? The World Tree''s eyes twinkle as if asking questions. Jaeyoung asked her. What exactly can I do with this branch so I can send someone to rmend? Oh, is that...? At that, she smiled brightly. Smash the person on the head who you want to rmend as strongly as possible without dying. Then you will enter the mental world you met before. ..... A very bizarre way to test a job change. Even today, Jaeyoung was curious about the face of the developer who developed this game. Chapter 198 Chapter 198 Resurrection of the World Tree (4) Reward for the World Tree. Trial branch'' Jaeyoung, who looked at the item''s performance, couldn''t say anything in absurdity. [Branch of Trials - Legend] A branch of the World Tree that only exists in legends. It''s sturdy and light, so it''s the perfect size to wield. It looks like it could be used as a stick. -Attack power: 100~110 -Durability: 1000/1000 (cannot be repaired) -85% increase in stun effect application rate when hitting a vital point. - Automatically enter Trial of the World Tree'' when stun is applied. A level of ability that is just a little hard blunt weapon. If others saw it, they would wonder why it was a legendary item, but Jaeyoung could see that it was because of thest option. A chance to acquire a hidden ss directly granted by the World Tree. He knew better than anyone how valuable it was. The Will of Nature... A being recognized by the World Tree. The one who embodies the will of Mother of all life and all things and the source of Mother Nature on this continent. Even without checking the detailed job information, it was clear that the bnce level was not even considered, so he muttered with a strangely regretful face. Its definitely a waste to give something to someone else... Jaeyoung muttered to herself. However, upon hearing that, the World Tree shook its head as if it could not be helped. I can''t help it either. I don''t know how the hell you got this power... The authority you possess surpasses even me. A power...? A world tree that speaks with strange words. Hearing those words, Jaeyoung made a strange expression, and she covered her mouth with her hand, her amber eyes shining. Oops... it wasnt information known to humans...? The world tree makes a puzzled expression as if he made a mistake. However, he looked at Jaeyoung as if he had made up his mind and said. Hmm... But since I brought up the story, Ill exin it briefly. In fact, there is not just one god that humans worship in this world. In the distant past, there were many transcendent beings who could exert their power on the continent of Arcadia. Among them... The world tree whispered as if telling a very secret story. But Jaeyoung said to her with a sour face. Are you talking about the Age of Lost Myths? The story of the past that I heard before through El. Since it was all the information he already knew, Jaeyoung said it was nothing, but the world tree looked shocked and asked with a face stained with astonishment. How do you know that? How do you know? I know it because I have heard it before. Is that so? I know that no records of that time were left behind, and everything about them has been erased...? The time that existed in the far distant past before the Holy Demon War broke out and the World Tree went to rest. Age of Myth. The time when transcendent beings possessing numerous powers and powers roamed freely. For some reason, their father''s anger was incurred, and the records and traces of those beings werepletely erased, and they lost all power and degenerated into vanity. If it didn''t exist at that time, it''s a story in a myth that you wouldn''t even remember. However, at his attitude, which seemed to know the story of the past very well, World Tree sent a shaken look in his eyes, but Jae-young waved his hand in a non-trivial manner. Uh... thats... yy, both of these things came out like this. It doesnt matter in front of the World Tree. What is that...? What are you? World Tree tilted his head at Jaeyoung''s words he couldn''t understand. However, she soon looked at Tan and El, who suddenly appeared behind him, with eyes that were about to jump out. W Long time no see. long time no see. Holy Archangel Michael, Ruler of the High Heavens. Satan, the king of the fallen demons, the lord of the zing demon realm. For the first time, a feeling of bewilderment rose on the face of the World Tree as it faced the two transcendent beings, the absolute beings of the two worlds. And then he growled with a very hostile expression. These damn things? Why are you guys out here? * * * World Treepletely changed his attitude as soon as he saw Tan and El. The benevolent and lofty-looking image he showed Jaeyoung seemed to have beenpletely thrown away into the deep sea far away. She was so violent that the elves would faint if they saw her, uttering all sorts of foulnguage that she couldn''t bear to put into words and screaming at Tan and El. What are you bastards crawling here to Arcadia for? You can just calmly y the role of an alley captain and fight like you did in your area, but why do you keeping to my area and giving a shit whenever you get a chance? The world tree is spitting out all sorts of swear words as if rapping. It was bizarrely different because they had the appearance of a young girl, but Tan and L showed familiar reactions and had tired faces. Ah really, how long are you going to do that with the old things? I exined the Heaven''s position before... but when those bastard bats try to expand their influence over the entire continent of Arcadia, I can''t help but intervene. It is also our mission to protect all humans from those bastards. mission. The reason for their existence was given directly by the one called Father''. Because he was tightly bound by the absolute constraints of fulfilling his mission, El raised his hands as if he couldn''t help it and said. However, at her exnation, the world tree made a sneer with a cold face. Hung mission? you''re fucking To be honest, you don''t care about protecting Arcadia. ?? ? ?? ?? ??? ? ??? ?? ???? ???? ? ?? ??? ? ??? That''s a misunderstanding... A misunderstanding? Did the misunderstanding guy turn the whole continent into a sea of fire with that Muspelheim? Do you know how many times more creatures have died because of your years than those damn bats? ..... L couldnt say anything at the venom that hit the World Trees bones. Unlike her, who kept her mouth shut with a stiff face, Tan seemed to feel like ame excuse even thinking about it. Oh, I agree with that. Do you know how frightened I was inside when I saw that little chicken set everything on fire without even distinguishing between friends? They said they were burning thatched straw to catch bed bugs, but that bastard tried to burn the entire continent, so I felt more sorry for nothing. Who said that a mother-inw who scolds a sister-inw is more nasty than a mother-inw who scolds her? Tan smiles and opens an egg next to the world tree. Seeing him like that, El got angry and tried to say something, but the World Tree moved faster. thump What are you interfering with? In the beginning, if your baby didn''t go to Arcadia, it wasn''t twisted. Really trying to figure out who the cause was. puck poop. A world tree in the form of a little girl. The sight of her grabbing the neck of a tiny imp in the shape of a tiny imp with her tiny fists and driving it down to the ground and then pounding it out was a rare sight that would never be seen again. Whoops. Her fists dyed green, whether it''s a normal attack or not. Tan shouted with a distorted face at the powerful energy emanating from the fierce punches that did not feel the slightest mercy in his hands. You crazy seedling! What are you doing! What are you doing? I''m taking revenge. Do you know how much I suffered because of that damn sword you nted? puck poop. Stop that. Stop! Stop the violence! Stop it, you damned bat. This is just the beginning. puck poop. That day, an unknown, grotesque scream that spread out from somewhere resonated throughout the great forest for a long time. Along with the exhrating sound of punching that makes you feel refreshed just by listening to it somewhere. * * * The World Tree has been in an endless slumber for eons. After beating Tan to the brink of death, she looked more refreshed than ever, as if her anger had eased a bit, and L and Jaeyoung told her what had happened. Then, he looked at Jaeyoung withplicated eyes and said. Let''s put it together as I understand it..... So one day, I identally got the power to freely handle probabilities, and then I was forced to sign a contract with these two, right? Yes....? Regardless of Jae-Young''s will, Tan was forced to sign a Familiar contract. And an L that appeared from an artifact obtained after destroying a sanctuary. Jaeyoung''s intention was never reflected in the bteral contractual rtionship between these two beings, so Jaeyoung nodded at the question of the world tree, but her expression was still hardened. This would not normally be possible at all... Did the father''s will intervene? The world tree muttering to itself. It wasn''t something she told her to listen to, but Jaeyoung thought to himself as he listened to her murmur. Tan and L, the strongest and absolute in the world. It was absolutely not a normal situation for the two of them to follow a user and lend their strength, so Jae-young was also suspicious inside. A top developer or something put it there on purpose...'' [Please do your best to y the game from now on.] He openly asked me to y the game in the game. I don''t know if he''s really watching Jae-young''s y from the outside, but all the huge events thate to him make him suspect that some invisible, powerful force is at work, so Jae-young doesn''t know anything about the world''s sharp eyes that seem to see through him. I couldn''t speak and just shrugged. First of all... there are a few things I dont understand, but I understand the situation. Those chickens and bats who covet your enormous probabilities are chasing after you, giving you what you want and extorting your probabilities in return? What... is that right? Tan and L who want probability. And Jae-young, who gets strength, necessary information, and things in exchange for that probability. Understanding this bteral contractual rtionship created for each other''s needs, World Tree nodded and confirmed it again. Isnt it unterally taking one side or something like that? Not at all. Jaeyoung is firmly on no one''s side. At his words, the world tree asked as if he was secretly opening his eyes. is it so? Then you''re going to trade no matter who it is? yes? Jaeyoung did not understand her words properly. Slowly approaching him, approaching right up to his face, poking his amber eyes, the world tree whispered. That probability... I think I can use it much more valuable than those two damn bastards. hey! Can you? That can''t be! Where are you going to put the spoon? You seedling bastard! Don''t cross the line! You belong to this continent anyway, so you don''t need a lot of probabilities! It is probable that we will leak even if we just breathe here! Tan and L protest strongly, as if they had nothing to eat, so they even took away their leftover rice bowls. However, the World Tree raised the middle finger to the two and said. Fuck you bastards. Even if you guys got a chance, it''s obvious that they''ll use it for cheating in Arcadia again, but do you think I''ll just sit there and watch it happen? Ha... you bastard seedling... will you sleep again? Come, where shall we see the end today? The three transcendent beings left Jaeyoung behind and began to growl. Seeing their quarrel, Jae-young sat down in his seat as if he didn''t know anymore and began to watch the scene calmly. chicken. seedlings. bat. It is true that the souls of these three are staked. It was a moment when I missed popcorn for some reason. Chapter 199 Chapter 199 Resurrection of the World Tree (5) Alice, the artificial intelligence in charge of Arcadia. Arcadia is a vast continent almostparable to Earth. She contemtes, analyzes, predicts, and adjusts everything that exists within her, and belongs to what scientists call super-artificial intelligence. [Detecting anomalies. Risk analysis..... risk level ha. Excluding monitoring.] [Special scenario conditions met. Searching for the most predictable scenario..... Quest granted.] [Battlefield Ruins'' Skeleton Specter''s regeneration rate reduced by 35%. Rted cause analysis.....] . . . She observes all the major situations that ur in the game one by one and perfectly assists users to create their own stories in the most optimal scenario ording to the situation. In fact, just two years ago, she was just a simple AI for facility management. was only It looks too hot, Alice. Could you turn down the air conditioner a little more? [Okay.] Thank you. Silico The Bio Industries'' secret research facility, the Hive. The head of Silicorp, Zenica, resides there. She closed her tired eyes and inhaled and exhaled, feeling the cool breeze from the air conditioner, which had been turned on as requested. Fu..... fuck. Profanity thates out unconsciously even if you don''t intend it. Alice asked at her self-talk. [Recently, usage of profanity has increased by 219%. Do you have any inconveniences?] Alice kindly informs me of the increase in percentage and asks what troubles I have. At her question, Jenika grumbled with a very angry expression. What''s the problem with all these bastards, both inside and outside? [I don''t know the problem in reality, but the problem inside Arcadia is a problem that President Lee Mi-yeon needs to think about. It is judged that it is an unreasonable act for the administrator to care.] How can I not care! Alice! Since the game is running like shit right now, I can''t even sleep right now, and it''s such a hard time. Why do you have to deal with the expansion of your server andputing facilities in such a hurry! Hive, a facility operated in extreme secrecy. It was a burden for her to bring arge amount of server equipment to this ce, whose existence was recently disclosed to US intelligence, but which is still thoroughly kept secret from the public. In particr, as intelligence agencies around the world were paying great attention to Arcadia and other virtual reality technologies, the importation process was inevitablyplicated. [Why are you being so sensitive? Anyway, the Eyes of Argos are constantly watching the unusual trend.] Jack jumped out of one side of the monitor and started talking to her hysterical annoyance. At his words, Jenica frowned and said. Because Argos can''t monitor everything. You must be prepared for any threats that may arise. Once information about this facility is exposed, there is no way to get it back. Integrated intelligence surveince system Eyes of Argos. Ajin Electronics dominated the global smartphone market. And Argos, which built the smartphone operating system and its ecosystem. The US government recognized the astronomical value of the vast amount of information collected in real time from the backdoors that these twopanies spread all over the globe. Under their aegis, the Eye of Argos, which was operating as a secret operation called Prism Project, was monitoring everything that threatened the security of the United States in real time. [What... aren''t you overreacting? Our Alice, who uses the same algorithm as Argos, is perfect. Isn''t that right, Alice?] [I''ll take that as apliment. Thank you manager.] [Hehe what. I mean it seriously.] Jack is smirking in the monitor, saying he''s acting hysterical. Seeing him like that, Jenica started walking to one side of the wall with a lively smile. And Jack, who realized that he had crossed the line at Jennica''s reaction, asked with a pale face startled. [My Jenica? Why are you approaching my body? Huh?] Jack was congenitally brain deformed. Since birth, he has been unable to speak or move due to full body paralysis. However, when Lucid Dream was developed and he was able to move freely online, his true value was revealed. The creator of the virtual world Arcadia. Unlike other criminals who struggle to realize even a short video or picture, he is a transcendent genius who haspletely realized a world with his own imagination. However, in reality, he was only a paralyzed disabled person who could not express any intention, so he had no choice but to notice Zenica, who was sweating profusely and radiating cold air next to his body. Are you still out of your mind? hypersensitivity? Is it because I really don''t know who I''m making a fuss about? [You know, it''s because of me.] Did you know that there are quite a few countries that have been shot in the head who would try to kidnap you even byunching a military operation close to war if they knew your existence? Jack, like Arcadia itself. He knew very well from the information provided by the US government and Argos that there were so many greedy people who coveted the one world contained in his brain, so he did not say anything to Zenica''s reprimand. Well, at that time, Ill just spray poison gas or the mutated AIDS virus throughout the base and say its enough to escape. But what about you? If I''m in a situation where I can''t even move my own body, is there any way to escape? [I''m sorry.....] Jack instinctively realized that a quick apology is the answer at times like this. With a downcast face, he apologized, showing as much as possible that he was sincerely reflecting. At his apology, Jenica stared at him for a long time without saying anything, and then opened her mouth. Behave well going forward. Next time I make another mistake, I just unplug the inte cable. [omg! That alone!] Jack''s brain connected to theputer 24 hours a day. Having realized that it was the Inte, he groaned with a contemtive face at Zenica''s threat because he had be a body ... no, a mind that could not be without it. Because I quitst time for 3 days... Is it a week this time? In the past, Jack entered a strange (?) site that was not allowed to enter, and had his LAN cable confiscated for three days after being caught by Jenica for his search history that he could not clear. He shook his head violently as if recalling the boredom that would drive him crazy at that time and made a promise. [I''m really sorry! It''s my fault! I''ll behave well, so please don''t touch the LAN cable!] Jenica fiddling with the LAN cable with a smile of satisfaction at his quick deration of surrender. Alice, who was listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly threw out a word. [If you forcibly close the administrator''s connection, Arcadia''s service will also bepletely stopped. Suspension of services around the world for a week without justifiable reasons can lead torge-scale refunds and legal issues such as ss actionwsuits. Therefore, the behavior seems very unreasonable and inefficient and could cause serious business loss to Arcadia Co., Ltd.] Jack, who acts like Arcadia''s main server. Unplugging his LAN cable is tantamount to stopping Arcadia''s entire service, so Alice, who is in charge of this, must give advice. However, Jack''s face also turned to contemtion at Jenica''s expression, which became cold again at her words. [It is an act that may result in civil and criminal measures for obstruction of business, so I strongly rmend that you do not actually take such measures, manager.] At her words, Jennica was silent for a long time, then opened her mouth lowly . Ellis. [yes. Did you call, Manager?] Alice, the artificial intelligence, answered in a bright voice with Jack, who was restless while stamping his feet. Jenica said to her. Are you fucking clueless? [.....] For more than two hours, Jenika started craving her by swearing and swearing at the artificial intelligence. After her gorging was over, Alice secretly recorded a piece of information in her database. [Level 1 Administrator: Jenica Paul.] Special notes. -The second craziest guy in the world. caution. - I hate to argue against myself. -Don''t talk to me when you go into runaway mode. * * * [Whew..... You''ve worked hard, Alice.] After Jenica''s madness is over and she calms down to some extent. Jack said, wiping the sweat from his brow. [no. It was a meaningful time in its own way.] [....That was a meaningful time?] Jenika''s verbal abuse that makes you go crazy just listening to it from the side. In response to Alice''s answer, which evaluated it as a meaningful time, Jack asked again with an indescribable expression. [That''s right. The information I received from Argos was rated as the second craziest guy in the world'', and now I can understand why he was rated that way.] [.....] Alice hase to understand the fact that it is good to not understand much. Jack, who had a nk expression on her answer, shook his head vigorously and changed the topic. [Okay... Let''s talk about that problemter..... What''s the current state of the World Tree?] Jack asks about thetest status of what''s happening in the game. To his question, Alice responded by opening a window. [The main surveince target delivered the Dragon Heart to the World Tree. Currently, the World Tree has sessfully absorbed the Dragon Heart and is rapidly recovering its strength.] [ Hmm..... Looks like it has returned to the maind after all?] Thest time I checked, I went back to Korea on the ship of the ck Pirates. Jaeyoung, who was returning to the continent. Upon Alice''s report that they had arrived on the maind again and sessfully delivered it to the heart, Jack licked his lips and asked. [So... when will Pangea''s update start?] [Currently, the roots of the World Tree, which extends across all continents, are being reactivated. The remaining time until the estimated critical point is... 27 days, 14 hours and 25 minutes.] Less than a month left. Looking down at the yers all over the world who are just enjoying the game peacefully, unaware of the huge change, Jack murmured, lost in his own thoughts. [Hmm..... I think the server expansion will bepleted to some extent by then, but there won''t be any major problems, right?] [ As the entire continent is integrated, it is predicted that possible scenarios and variables that can collide with it will increase rapidly. ... I don''t expect any serious problems to arise.] Elise''s reply, Don''t worry. Despite her confident answer, Jack muttered with a worried face as if the anxiety that bloomed in his heart had not disappeared. [But why am I so worried?] [What are you concerned about?] [So..... I don''t know exactly what it is, but I keep feeling uneasy...] Instinctive intuition. Jack usuallyughed and enjoyed himself even when an ident urred, but this time, a strange feeling of tension welled up in his chest first than expected as he was filled with a feeling of uneasiness. Then he hurriedly snapped his fingers and a screen popped up in front of him. damn ording to his will, the appearance of Jaeyoung appears in front of his eyes. Jack muttered to himself as he narrowed his eyes as he rubbed his nose as if he didn''t know anything and put on a bored expression. [No matter how you look at it, it looks like you''re going to get scolded by Jenica because of him...] Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Resurrection of the World Tree (6) Probability. Transcendental beings who innately possess mighty powers bestowed by the Creator. Those who were endowed with enormous power enough to split continents and move mountains were bound by a powerful mission in return. [My child, you are the guardian of light and justice that protects the heavens. You will take the lead in judging all corrupt beings, protecting humans from them, and maintaining high honor.] [My child, symbolizing the corruption of all things, in the depths of the earth You will be an existence that symbolizes darkness and deceit, so remove the hypocrisy of the despicable people who are not glorious and do not have firm faith and reveal their true nature.] [My child, I give you a lofty intellect and a noble lineage , Protect all living things on the continent and coordinate so that there is no bias in the work done ording to each person''s mission.] [ My child, the guardian of all living things and the mother of all things...] In the beginning, this A mission that has been given since the world was created. It is the very purpose of their existence and it is like aw that can never be denied, but there was a way to get out of these restrictions in a very limited way. usibility. The power that is like a reward that returns to them little by little when theyplete their mission. It is not clear, but while using this probability, he was free to move away from this mission. Uuuuuuuu..... Probability... Probability iscking. Please give me a chance too. Tan goes around saying that hecks probability with his eyes wide open as a habit. And L, who is secretly greedy for probability and always brazenly holds out his hand. Just by looking at these two, I could tell how important that probability was to them. Isn''t it strange that transcendental beings called the absolutes of the limit are following and sticking to each other as if they were pets? And it had nothing to do with the world tree. Hey you seedling bastard! Really, let''s see, let''s see, so I know who''s the boja! You belong here on the continent, so there are no restrictions on your activities! Why is such a guy greedy for probability? You have no morals! joy! It wouldn''t be necessary if you guys weren''t messing around here from the start. Why am I greedy for probability? If you damn bastard or that chicken start a fight here again, then I''m going to wipe it all out! why! what....? A world tree that exists in mythology. A huge tree that supports the world of Arcadia and takes care of all forests and nts. Her authority and divinity, which maintains the pulsating ecosystem of nature and loves all life, were so lofty that not even Tan and El could ignore them. However, the problem was that the mighty force was not specialized inbat. If there was anything aggressive about the mission assigned to me, you guys wouldn''t have even put a toe in here in the first ce. With just one attack on my root, youre a bastard bastard who will be swept away. A world tree that looks like a local gangster who spits phlegm on the floor and threatens rudely. Seeing her stern appearance, Tan shouted with a stuttering expression on her face. You damn seedling! If it is a nt, it should sit still and photosynthesize like a nt. How dare you go anywhere! shut up. I like it. A World Tree that has great power, but is tightly bound by restrictions that prevent it from using that power in an aggressive or destructive way. The world tree looked at Jaeyoung with strange eyes and said, perhaps it was because of the past when the whale''s back exploded in the X-food fight without being able to resist properly because he always had to use his power only for the protection and protection of living things. The story is too long. I think you understand the situation roughly, and I say it directly. I need that probability that Dex-sama has. It takes probability in every action to kill these damn bastards who sneak up and down and eat the ground. The World Tree seems to be far more militant than anyone could have imagined. Her amber eyes gleam and an outstretched hand. Her sweet whispers tickled Jaeyoung''s ears. how is it? I''ll make it cheaper than those ruin. said to be cheaper. At those words, Jaeyoung was heartbroken. Probability where no exact price exists. That''s why, whatever he did, he was very dissatisfied with Tan and L, who were taking advantage of profits as if they were a taffy seller, so Jae-young unknowingly and unconsciously grabbed the hand of the world leader. Lord Master! no! Wait a minute! Seeing that, Tan and L hurriedly shout. However, perhaps it was already toote, where Jaeyoung and Segyesu held hands, a tremendous brilliance began to emanate with an unknownplex pattern. Whoops. Contract established. Along with the murmur of the world tree smiling with a satisfied face. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. An intense aura wrapped around Jaeyoung''s entire body. At the same time as the bursting green energy raged, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The contract with the World Tree, the mother of all things, has been established.] [You can borrow the power of the spirit realm by consuming Probability.] [ Skill spirit summons are created.] [Special conditions are met.] [Some of the skill details are missing. It will be adjusted.] [Skill rank is fixed to Master.] [All rank restrictions are lifted.] Summon the Spirit. A basic skill that all elemental spirits possess. However, what was created in Jaeyoung''s skill window was a little different from the others. [Summon Spirit -Master] You can summon andmand spirits with pure natural attributes. -The elemental affinity required. -Increased mana consumption ording to the level of the summoned spirit and battle situation. -Number of spirits that can be contracted: - . . . A skill thates out as a master grade from the start. There, all the contents that looked like the existing description were crossed out, and a short exnation was added below it. - Probability is consumed ording to skill use. This....? Jae-young muttered with wide-eyed eyes as if in surprise. Looking at him like that, the world tree replied with a satisfied smile. As far as I can see, Dex-sama''s physical abilities are... very weak. They don''t have the stalwart strength and stamina of sword-wielding warriors and knights, and they don''t have the magic affinity or mana to be a mage. In addition, the spirit affinity is too weak. In fact, this is barely enough to summon even a low-level spirit. Very boring basic skills. Since there is no level system, the way to increase stats is extremely limited, so Jaeyoung nodded because he was unfair for a moment at the pack width that hit the bones of the World Tree, but it was not wrong. Well... that''s right. From now on, for the sake of growth, I will train step by step, and so on. Just give me the usibility. yes....? A very cool world. Jaeyoung asked her question with a face that did not understand. Then the world tree said with a mischievous smile. No matter what level of spirits you summon, no matter how many elements you summon, I will handle it all, so just ask me for that much probability. ...? A spirit summoning skill that fell to him at the master level with all detailed skill descriptions deleted. Jaeyoung, who couldn''t understand exactly with the short phrase, opened his mouth at the world tree''s words. Is that possible? Have you ever imagined A Elementalist who freelymands spirits of all attributes regardless of the number. Jae-young momentarily imagined the scene of summoning the king of spirits of all attributes and ying around with them. As if seeing through his imagination, World Tree looked at Jaeyoung with narrow eyes and said. If you''re thinking of summoning the Spirit King and wreaking havoc, it''s better to put it aside. Summoning andmanding an existence that is the source of an attribute is not something that can be easily done with a fair amount of probability. Who said what? Well... I just said it just in case. I''m d you didn''t think of that. Jaeyoung tried to use the skill at the end of the world tree as a test. He smiled at the cute spirits that appeared around him. [Low Spirit of Water - Undine] [Low Spirit of Fire - Smander] [Low Spirit of Wind - Sylph] [Low Spirit of Earth - Gnome] These are typical low-level spirits that can be found in any mass market. Jaeyoung, who liked their dainty appearance, said with a satisfied smile. Well... it''s not bad though. I think I will be able to walk around without being suspicious of other people. A spiritual skill that always had to use only excessively powerful power. It was not a joke to kill chickens with a cow knife, but to the level of killing rats with a chainsaw, so Jae-young liked World Tree''s suggestion that he could adjust the level ofbat power to suit the situation as he wanted. Of course, there were people who expressed great dissatisfaction with this. This is a business ban! Seedling baby! If you lend me your strength in this way, what are we going to do for a living! Is this okay? Does this seem like a vition of your mission? At first nce, it seems that the frequency of use of the strong body will decrease. That''s why the two fiercely questioned the World Tree with apletely different momentum than before. Dont you know what copyright is? As you can see, the proposal you made is an exact copy of the structure of our Kangshin contract! Do you have any idea how much I struggled to wrap my head around making that contract? It is an act of exceeding authority for you, who has the mission of channeling with the spirit realm, to guarantee the spirit power and mana necessary for the spirits'' activities without permission. It is a serious matter to use the authority bestowed by your father on your own like that. Tan and L are talking loudly and loudly. The World Tree, who had been listening to the two of them silently, cleared his ears and asked. Did you say everything? what....? hey! Tan seemed to have been hit hard by the World Tree''s attitude, as if he hadn''t paid attention to his own words. But when Tan tried to say something, the World Tree raised his middle finger and said, Its copyright, its nabal, you fucking illegal alien bastard. Are you talking about illegally entering someone elses territory while exhausting all possibilities from you in the first ce? This... this seedling... The World Tree treats Tan as an illegal alien and tells him to fuck him. Seeing her like that, Tan gnashed his teeth, but as if he had nothing to refute, he didn''t open his mouth any more. And... Mission? It could be a bit over-interpreted, but in principle it doesn''t go against it. If that were the case, the contract wouldn''t even have been concluded. It''s because there''s absolutely no chance of them remaining because they''ve been in a dormant sleep for a long time because of two thankful cubs and haven''t been able to do anything. The grateful parties, Tan and L. When both of them kept their mouths closed, the world tree looked at Jaeyoung with a slightly ted face and winked. Youve been having a hard time getting ripped off by those two vicious bastards, right? I will give you a lot of service at a reasonable price, so please use it a lot in the future. If it''s possible, find a good guy for my recement and send it to me. The world tree shows apletely different face and atmosphere than when he was dealing with Tan and El, and speaks to him warmly. Seeing her like that, Jaeyoung thought to herself. Pretending to be good while extorting probability is no different from the other two, so I thought it might be the same vicious business owner. Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Resurrection of the World Tree (7) Afterpleting the contract with the World Tree, Jaeyoung returns to the elves'' vige. The first to greet him was none other than Kanna, a cute little elf girl with a small body. oh! Human! You are back! As if waiting for it toe out of the realm of the World Tree, Kanna jumped up and ran, stamping her little feet. And while she was conveying Melissa''s message to Jae-young, she stopped talking with a startled look on her face when she saw the spirits floating around Jae-young. Melissa-sama, please tell the human toe to her ce as soon as shees out.... Eh...? Those spirits? Undine. Sylph. Gnome. Smander. Spirits of the four basic attributes that make up nature. Seeing them wandering around Jaeyoung, Kanna pricked her little ears and began to look around Jaeyoung. and! Human! Something has changed so much! okay....? What has changed so much? Kanna smiles broadly and gives a burdensome glow in her eyes. When Jaeyoung asked again with an expression that she couldn''t adapt to her sudden change of reaction, Kanna bit her finger in her mouth as if thinking about something and said, Hmm... how to say... uh~ it smells really good! smell? yes. In the past, it only smelled like humans... but now... um... it smells good! Is that so? Jae-young had the urge to ask what exactly a human smell is like. However, since he had grasped the habits of the elves to some extent, he suppressed his curiosity with all his might. yes! lol. thank god! Kanna suddenly said she was lucky and took a deep breath and exhaled repeatedly. Jae-young''s curiosity, watching her behavior, burst out of her mouth after driving out the reason she was suppressing, saying, I can''t stand this.....''. What is... I''m d...? Jaeyoung asked with a doubtful face. To him, Kanna replied with a smile like a pure child. You can hold your breath now! In the past, the smell was so strong that it was hard to breathe, but if you show up like that, you''re a bad elf, so I had a hard time pretending nothing was wrong! Did I do well? Didn''t you get any tea? Kanna is proudly chattering and making a proud expression as if asking for praise. At her remarks, Jaeyoung began to feel a strong urge to eat a honey chestnut with sincerity. However, L, who saw Jaeyoung''s trembling fists, must have noticed him, and soon defended the younger Kanna. I probably didnt mean it with malice. In fact, elves are a pure race that is closer to nature itself than any other race. That''s why they react extremely sensitively to alien beings. So they are extremely exclusive and hostile to other races. If you don''t have spirit affinity, they''re seen as dirty and unclean with a terrifying stench. That''s right. I''ve never seen those bunnies interact so actively with other races. They used to fight every day by shooting arrows. L actively dissuades Jae-young, and Tan agrees with her words and fires support. Tan and L say that they are saying what they truly feel, not intentionally saying it to make them feel bad. It was a more upsetting situation in a different sense, but it was a bit like hitting a little girl the size of a small girl, so Jaeyoung answered with a smile on his face. I see. It must have smelled very bad. A situation where there are hundreds of hedgehogs in a horse. But whether she knew it or not, Kanna made a fuss by making exaggerated gestures. Okay~. The rotten me vibrated so Kanna had a hard time! But I couldn''t be a bad elf, so I put up with it a lot. But how bad was the smell really? It''s like rotting fruits, and the ogre that ate them is shit... Kanna chattered for 10 minutes without exaggerating how bad Jaeyoung''s body odor was. In the end, Jaeyoung, who had been listening to it silently, couldn''t stand it and ended upmitting it. Cong. Hehehehehehehehe! Making a young elf girl cry with a night of justice. * * * The elves flocked to Kanna''s crying. Melissa, who received the relevant situation from them, sat down with a slightly embarrassed face and dealt with Jaeyoung. First of all... As the queen, I apologize for Kanna''s rude behavior. Jaeyoung was sitting with a hard face. He sighed deeply at Melissa''s apology. Ha... no. I didnt do anything well either, so Ill move on to things that didnt exist. On the outside, Kanna exudes crazy cuteness like a lower grader in elementary school. Jaeyoung, who stuck a honey chestnut full of sincerity into her head, shook her head, reflecting on her actions that momentarily lost her reason. Then... may I go back to the main topic and ask what you talked about with the World Tree? Melissa who asks about the story with the world tree. However, at her question, Jaeyoung hesitated for a moment and nced at Tan and L, who were standing beside him with nk faces, and thought to himself. You wouldn''t believe me if I told you what happened there...?'' To the elves, the World Tree is revered as a mother and god-like being. It was quite shocking to Jae-young that she, who always cared for everything with agape love and showed a beautiful figure full of dignity, was actually a bully who spat on the floor and spoke all sorts of foulnguage. Hey, you seedling bastard! How dare you call it a sapling? You fucking bat! Puck puck puck. They do not hesitate to demean each other as seedling chicken-winged bats and engage in a brawl by punching each other. No matter how much I exined this in detail, the elves, including Melissa, would never believe it, so Jaeyoung summarized the important points. They asked to appoint a substitute for themselves. yes....? Are you a substitute? Melissa widens her eyes at Jaeyoung''s words. She asked back in disbelief with trembling eyes. Could it be that the representative is the one mentioned in the legend... Will of Nature. that''s right. Did you even give me this? Jaeyoung pulls out a branch of the world tree that looks like a hard wooden club from his inventory. Seeing what was in his hand, Melissa murmured in horror. I can''t believe it..... A test... Crazy... What on earth is the World Tree thinking, why are you entrusting a human with a substitute? Melissa mumbles as if something is wrong. Jaeyoung was able to notice her reaction. It means that this hidden job that Jaeyoung got has an important meaning to them. So, Jaeyoung enjoyed the situation to the fullest and spoke with a rxed attitude. So Im going to look around for a while. In the future, I won''t be particrly busy, so I''ll have to take some time off and look for it diligently. Im looking for the right person to act as an agent who can diligently carry out the will of the World Tree. That''s like that... Melissa looked a bit flustered. She looked at Jaeyoung''s eyes and said cautiously. Wouldn''t it be easier to find the right person among the forest n? Even if you don''t have to go out and look for it, it''s easier to find someone who can rece the will of the World Tree right here... yes....? Jaeyoung interrupts Melissa and speaks in a calm voice. He did the same thing as Kanna did and gave it back to her. I will tell you honestly. Did I tell you before? They say that the young elves who are growing up should be given proper character education. How on earth can youugh and say in front of people that the smell of ogre poop that ate rotten fruit is worse than how much you have taught your child not to eat it? That''s it... Nature''s will... No, I think an existence that represents the will of the World Tree is born among the elves. Then the power of the elves will be stronger if they are stronger than now, but not weak, right? Then, how much more will this exploded personality explode? A race of elves full of arrogance and aloofness. Jaeyoung didn''t want to see them go crazy even if he died, so he said to Melissa in a firm tone. Dont even dream until his obsession with looks is fixed. She opened her mouth as if trying to say something at Jae-young''s strong attitude that she couldn''t see anything like that until dirt came into her eyes. But then he dropped his ears, put on a dejected expression, and kept his mouth shut without saying anything. [Melissa, the queen of elves, is deeply disappointed with the yer''s decision.] [Likeability rate has decreased.] A message that the favorability rate has decreased. However, as in the past, he did not blink an eye because he was Jae-young, who did not dwell on his rtionship with the elves. Because I''m not the one who regrets it anyway.'' Other users always cringe at the elves, wondering if they would somehow receive skills, items, or hidden quests from them. However, since it was a situation where the whole dragon rare was obtained and a huge probability was obtained at the same time, they wanted it if they wanted it, and Jae-young did not want anything from the elves. That''s why Jaeyoung didn''t forget to blow a terrifying threat to Melissa with a distraught expression. So, treat yourself well. If you really disgrace, I''ll take a terribly ugly human and use you as a proxy for the World Tree. omg! That''s...! Jaeyoung imagined. Elves who are already sensitive to their appearance. Just looking at them, the girls frown upon Jae-gyun, who is fat and full of pimples and has an ugly appearance, and proudly brings him to the world as a representative of the World Tree. hmm....? Wouldnt that be more fun than you thought? Come to think of it, it was the worst of the worst for them. It was said impulsively, but Jaeyoung muttered with a smile thinking that it was a good way to get revenge. Sorry! Kanna... No, I''m really sorry if we made you feel bad, so please, that''s all...! Melissa''s attitude is more agitated than before. Breaking into a cold sweat, he lowered his tail and bowed his head in apology. You can choose from among humans. All good. No one cares, so please don''t deliberately choose an ugly human! Melissa begged almost begging with a desperate face as if that was absolutely not possible. Seeing her appearance, Jaeyoung spoke after a moment of silence. Well... let''s see thatter. thank you! I will educate you thoroughly. I swear to be my queen. Melissa promises that this unpleasant situation will never happen again. Jaeyoung said with a slightly rxed face at her words. Oh, and... there is something else that the World Tree asked me to convey. yes? The World Tree...? Melissa asked back with startled eyes, as if asking why she was only saying that now. Jaeyoung smiled softly at her. They told me to prepare because the promised moment ising on the day of the next full moon. If it were that moment...? no way....? Melissa asked Jaeyoung with trembling eyes. Jaeyoung nodded at the look in her eyes as if she was asking if she was right. yes. They say it unites all the scattered continents. [Remaining time: 27d 17h 24m 13s.] The timer floating in front of Jaeyoung. Watching the countdown fall one by one every moment, he muttered with an evil smile. All of it. Chapter 202 Chapter 202 How Can You Sell This? (1) Arcadia''s highly developed economic system. Price fluctuates ording to production, supply and demand. In various situations such as war or famine, the market prices of various items that move unpredictably made users walking on the merchant''s path cry andugh. oh my god! Wheat prices skyrocketed by 60%! Fuck! what''s this. I came here because jewelry was popr, but what is the price? It''s a loss if you subtract the transportation cost! They say the metal business is pretty good these days... When the hell are you talking about? These days, mainstream items are the best. Starting from local specialties to general consumer goods, the number alone exceeds thousands... tens of thousands of items. Among them, it was not so easy to select the items to obtain the best market profit and select the region to trade through the optimal route. General consumer goods sell well everywhere, so the risk is low... but the profit is smaller than expected. Haa..... It''s a vige in a mountainous area, so I thought the fish would sell well, but in the middle, the wagon was broken and everything rotted away. Damn it. Dog baaaal! I''ve been robbed by thieves! Seriously, this dung mangeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Most of the users are trading with a small upper ss. They were struggling with a hardcore spicy taste in Arcadia''s harsh economic system, which was full of all kinds of risks, but even in such a situation, there was definitely an upper end that reliably made huge profits. Brother, here is the bnce sheet for this month. Oh, give it to me. Choi Jae-gyu, the youngest son of GM Group. He said with a frown as he checked the ount statement presented by his assistant. what? Is this the only sales this month? It decreased by 13%pared tost month. 13%. Considering the economy in the game, which changes day by day, it was a number that could be dismissed as not a big deal, but after checking the record from the previous month, Jae-gyu, seeing the sales that had turned to a marked decline, asked the secretary with a ferocious look. Hey, dont you want to do things right? Are you bringing this to me as a report? uh? Pararak. Jae-gyu throws his boss'' proprietary technology report. His attendant didn''t change his expression even when he saw the wad of paper hitting him and flying around the office, saying calmly. It is an unavoidable situation. While the boy couldn''t connect, I was leading the top as much as possible, but aspetitors continue to appear, there are many problems in maintaining the previous customers. In the aftermath of the power-hungry attack the other day, GM is in a position where they can''t evene close to the dwarves and elves. The GM Group emerged as a huge social concern and even received an emergency tax investigation by the National Tax Service as it was broadcast on terrestrial TV. In the aftermath, Jae-gyu was almost erased from the family register with Chairman Choon-sik Choi''s fierce anger, and although he barely survived, he was unable to even ess the game. [You bastard... from now on, don''t get involved in the GM corps or anything! I left it alone because I said I was good at it, but then I sprinkled ashes on the entire group? Do you know how much I struggled to keep quiet about this tax investigation? From now on, don''t get involved in virtual reality and learn your job straight!] Even though he said that, it must have been a waste to abandon the GM corps, which had already grown into a huge corps worth hundreds of billions of won. It didn''t stop me from essing the game and managing the guild. The main customer, Earl Kaizen of the Harmel Empire, suddenly cut off the deal. As a result, the trading volume of grains, which were the main focus of our Merchant Merchants, has plummeted. Inventory just keeps piling up. I''m looking into other vendors... but everyone''s response is lukewarm. Elves and Dwarves. The GM guild where the intermediary trade between different races and humans was blocked at the source. Because of this, they had no choice but to focus on their existing transactions, but even this was in a precarious situation. And at the report of the attendant, Jegyu took a deep breath and asked. Huh... is that because of the deal with the different races? It is analyzed as such. ...Fuck! Quaang. Unable to hold back his anger at those words, Jegyu fired a shotgun at the desk with his fist. After going mad for a while, he gasped, exhaled heavily, and murmured: Those scumbags who dont know where they came from... dare to touch GM? me? Since he had been continuously reported to him through his assistant, Jaegyu was well aware of the cause of the sluggish performance of the GM upper management team. [Huh..... Please save ourpany from the GMpany!] [All we want to do is y games with a smallpany.] A video of GM''s abuse of power posted on Arfandia. The pie top that appeared there and made a tearful appeal and aroused people''s sympathy. I don''t know how the heck happened, but they rose to an iparable level at the same time as the copse of the top of GM, raising the stock price. Exclusive trade rights with elves and dwarves. The fraudulent right that anything must go through the top of the pie to trade with them. I don''t know how the hell they roasted and boiled the elves and dwarves to give them such ridiculous exclusive status, but as a result, the top of the pie hit the jackpot. That is an unprecedented invitation. Top of the pie? Oh, if it''s their stuff, of course you can trust it. I want to get a handicraft from a dwarven artisan... Do you have any connections at the top of your pie? like? top of the pie? did you belong there? I''m sorry I didn''t know this. Pass. next! Even the lords, who freely traveled to and from any country just because they belonged to the top tier of the pie, were extremely picky with merchants and extorted money under all kinds of pretexts. There was no In just a few months, the pie troupe has grown into arge troupe that no one knows on the second continent of Arcadia. Apple and Lemon, owners of the top who were hit by a huge amount of money in an instant. But these two weren''t satisfied with that in the slightest. [I''m still hungry.] With the deration that they are hungry, they start diversifying their business areas with octopus-style expansion. They began to eat the market indiscriminately, regardless of field, and eventually began to take away even the top GM customers. Pudeudeuk. Jegyu gnashing his teeth hard enough to worry that he might break his whole body as if he was angry just thinking about it. Seeing him like that, the attendant carefully took the fortune. If this continues, the operating loss will increase and the situation will worsen. I''m persuading the lords... but I''m agitated, wondering why the upper lords aren''t directly involved. In order to rectify the situation, you must log back into the game. ...Who doesnt know that and doesnt do it? The president made such a fuss, so why would he just watch me log in again! Returning to the front line of operations at the upper level. He knew better than anyone else that it was a must-do situation, but Jae-gyu couldn''t do that. It''s been only about 3 months since that month. I knew I had to go back someday, but it was too early to bring up such a story with Chairman Choi Chun-shik. However, his attendant secretary said with one face that he was resolute. I know it''s hard, Bhan, but... you have to do it anyway. The top of the pie grows explosively as if it knows no bounds. In order to prevent even a little bit of their runaway, the GM Merchant Company desperately needed to survive and maintain the current level of scale. And in response to his sincere direct words, Jegyu didn''t say anything. He just sat there for a long time contemting something with his mouth closed with a serious face. And he got up from his seat scratching his head. Ah... fuck! I''m sure it''ll sound like a dog. ah! I don''t know! Jegyu jumped up from the chair with a face full of annoyance and swearing. He snatched the report he had just thrown from the attendant''s hand and said, Im going to talk to the chairman, so until then, Im waiting for you to organize all the current status of the GM corps, the situation in the game, and the damn pie corps information. Jae-gyu made the decision to dere that he would return to the game, prepared for the anger of Chairman Choi Chun-shik. Confirming his intention, the attendant nodded with a happy face and said, All right! I will have it ready right away! Choi Jae-kyu moves heavy steps into the office of Chairman Choi Chun-sik, leaving behind the smiling attendant secretary. He cursed at the top of the pie for creating such a dog-like situation. and that day. In the office of Chairman Choi Chun-shik, a huge roar and a dull sound, like an ashtray being thrown, continued to be heard. * * * A crystal ashtray blown on someone''s forehead and seeing blood or not. Apple and Lemon, who run the top of the pie, greeted the benefactor they hadn''t seen in a long time and exchanged greetings brightly. Dex! How you doing? Apple and Lemon rush to the elf vige after seeing the note sent by Jaeyoung. Jaeyoung waved his hand with a slightly burdened look at the fierce reaction of those who greeted him. It was just a note asking me toe to the Elf Vige if I had something to do... I didn''t expect it toe so quickly. You didn''t bother me for nothing, did you? no way! no. I was in a situation where I had to stop by the elven vige anyway. that''s right! And if Dex-samaes, of course we have to put aside our work and go find him. How great is the help you received. These two are overly loyal, sending shining eyes full of respect and envy. Jaeyoung smiled as he saw the changed appearance of the two differently from before. But... has it changed a lot in the past few months? Have you grown beyond your expectations? Apple and Lemon, formerly dressed as poor merchants. However, the two of them now seemed to be well-groomed, yet they were wearing costumes that revealed the dignity of fancy merchants. Ah, is this...? Hehe... It''s a bit expensive, but it''s because it''s the best equipment for merchants. I did a bit of overdoing it. Equipment only for merchants with a lot of stats that would make any merchant salivate. I don''t know, but looking at the natural design of the clothes, it looked like a set item, so I could tell just by looking at the amount of gold invested in the equipment. Well... you did well. Character development is the top priority. How''s the top... how''s it going? Are there any problems? Jaeyoung owns half of the upper part of the pie. Apple and Lemon proudly answered with confident faces to the questions asked as their business partners. It is the best. Maybe you''ll be surprised by the size of our gship top? The story of the top of the pie started from then. What happened after Jaeyoung left. The stories that started pouring in as if the water had burst continued to burst forth without a break. Lemon, who had been chattering for almost an hour as if he wasn''t getting tired. She looked at Jaeyoung, who was listening to her with a small smile, and suddenly realized that she had been talking too much. Oh my. sorry. I''ve been talking too much. I''m so excited that I don''t even know... No. Well... there were a lot of interesting things. Jaeyoung smiled and waved his hand as if he was okay. Apple asked him cautiously. Um... but Dex-sama. Why did you call us...? Oh that''s it. I want to give you what you asked for. yes? Did you ask for it? Apple asks back with a questionable look, as if they asked for something. In response to his question, Jaeyoung took something out of his inventory. cooong. A huge white object fell to the floor with a huge roar. Seeing this, Apple and Lemon opened their mouths in amazement. This one? Oh my God... Jaeyoung asked with a smile at the two of them, who seemed to have lost their souls. You sent it by note the other day. If you have something to catch and sell a dragon, please use the top of the pie. open-eyed eyelids. Sharp teeth that could bite through even steel. The skull of Kervenian, a red dragon the size of a two-story building. Putting it down, he said. Please dispose of this for me. Please ept the moderately high price. Chapter 203 Chapter 203 How Can You Sell This? (2) [Kervenian Skull - Legend] The skull of a vicious red dragon that is only talked about in legends. Due to the mana umted over thousands of years, it boasts the strongest hardness and highest mana conductivity among dragon bones. If processed well, it will be the best material to make the best weapon. -???? -???? -???? Weight - 2.5t Dragon essories boasting great value. Among them, dragon bone, a legendary material that cksmiths can only see in their dreams. It was such a rare material that even artisans who were proud and stubborn and would not even lift a hammer if they didn''t like it were on their knees begging to touch it just once. I couldn''t believe it when I saw the weight. Dragonbone is 2.5t..... Does this make sense? So... even though they say they caught an old dragon-ss dragon... this is too unrealistic. A dragon bone that weighs as much as 2500 kg. A material with historically astronomical value, to the extent that even with just a few kilograms of dragon bones, wars could have urred. It was also the skull of an ancient dragon-ss dragon that reached its peak in value, so Apple and Lemon knew all too well the aftermath this object would bring. I will never leave anyone alone. Theyre going to run to eat our top somehow? I know that processing is extremely difficult and difficult, but if refined in the hands of an excellent craftsman, it will be reborn as a powerful weapon that no one can handle. It was literally like a strategic resource thatpletely overturned the bnce of the entire continent and shredded the board into powder, so their movements had no choice but to be cautious. Hey there! Secure the nket tightly and check whether it drips down! You know what would happen if there were strange rumors about what we were moving, right? yes! Checked thoroughly. No problem! Before leaving the vige of the elves, Apple carefully checked until the end to make sure nothing was missing. Lemon asked in the midst of his busy movements. Where are you going to take this? A simple yet difficult request that Jaeyoung made to them. [Please dispose of this for me. Please ept the moderately high price.] It doesn''t matter who you sell it to, so his words to dispose of it at a moderately high price were very difficult for them. Selling it to the Harmel Empire would be the most ideal... but if that happens, other kingdoms will rise up right away, right? The Harmel Empire, which is regarded as the most powerful force on the two continents where they are active. If we were to dispose of this item, we would be able to trade with them on the best terms, but if we looked at other countries, we couldn''t. Thats right... Its not like were only going to do business with the Harmel Empire, and other kingdoms will surely retaliate, so they wont do business with us even if they die? The top of the pie is expanding its business partners and explosively growing its business. They had no choice but to be prudent in their actions because they did not want to incur the anger and hatred of many countries for nothing and ruin their work. Or... how about taking it to the Mage Tower? If you dont want to get involved in political issues, honestly, thats the neatest thing. A mage tower spread across the entire continent. An independent military group that does not belong to any specific country and forms a powerful force with the single thought of researching the science of magic. Lemon thought they might take care of this item for a reasonable price considering the vast amount of goods they had. But Apple was skeptical of her idea. Hmm... not there. If you take it for no reason, you may end up taking only the goods and eating and running. It''s too dangerous because they''re frighteningly obsessed with things rted to dragons. The Mage''s Tower, a ce of study for wizards and the best research institution. The gold they earned by providing all sorts of services, including magic weapons, was astronomical enough to match the yearly budget of the Harmel Empire, but the expenditure was also enormous beyond imagination. [Eh... I think I''ll need 100kg of gold bars for this magic experiment...] [Relics of the Age of Magic? Money doesn''t matter, so send an expedition right away!] [They say a staff made of diamonds increases magic efficiency, right? Make one!] Wizards pour all kinds of rare magic materials and gold into one experiment to satisfy their academic curiosity and desire, regardless of how much gold it costs. Because of that, the Mage Tower''s budget was always walking a tightrope, barely enough to avoid a deficit. - Please help me. I transported it because I was told to buy 1000 purple four-leaf clovers from the magic tower. But they don''t pay the bill. They tell me to wait for the next time, but what should I do? A situation where you cannot receivepensation even after processing a request or order from the Mage Tower. Unexpectedly, these were cases that could be found frequently in Arpendia. -Oh, that''s because the magic tower temporarilycks money. Do not worry. If it''s not that big, give it right away. -lol. The Mage Tower organizes and operates the budget for each branch independently, so there are times when it is a small Mage Tower. You''ll probably pay it back as soon as you make money? - What the fuck. Are the Mage Tower bastards really idiots? If you don''t have money, why do you make a request, eat only the goods, and say that the money will be giventer? -That''s right, but what can I do? You can''t even fight the Magic Tower, can you? Wizards who don''t care about payment and habitually gulp things first. Entrusting the skull of this Cervenian to them, who have no economic concept at all, was like entrusting fish to a cat, so Apple told Lemon. Lets go to the Sands of Forge. Lets drag this far away...? At Apple''s suggestion to cross the continent from end to end, Lemon frowned as if his head was pounding just thinking about it. It can''t be helped. First of all, in a situation where it is difficult to find a country that can ept this huge amount and political problems are unavoidable, there is no ce to go, right? So let''s think about it after we''ve dealt with this skull first. process? Lemon asked back with a face as if he was saying what he was talking about. Apple said to her: Among the dwarves, isnt there a craftsman with skills that can process this? Then you can process this and break it into pieces. Rather than selling it whole, lets break it up and sell it in pieces, right? Even though it''s cumbersome, if you spread it evenly to all kingdoms like that, you won''t have anyints. A Kervenian skull toorge for a nation to consume. Lemon nodded after a moment''s thought at Apple''s words to dispose of it in pieces as small as possible so as not to tear the mouth. Yeah... that''s definitely the best way. The problem is that I''m not sure if there are any dwarves who can process this, but... Lemon thought something at Apple''s words. But it wasn''t that sharp, so it didn''t take her long to make up her mind. First...then let''s transport the goods to the Sands of Forge. I think you can go there and think about processing problems. At least, there is no ce on the continent that surpasses that facility itself, right? Sands of Forge, the city of Dwarves, where every inhabitant is made up of skilled artisans. If it couldn''t be processed there, there was no way it could be processed anywhere, so they loaded the Kervenian skull that Jaeyoung had handed over to them on a huge cart and started going up. Towards the city of the Dwarves, located underground beyond the sand desert. * * * The time when Apple and Lemon started shipping in secret. Jae-gyu, the head of the GM corps and the youngest son of Chairman Choi Chun-sik, was putting a bandage on his bruised forehead under the careful touch of his assistant. evil! it hurts! Arent you taking care of yourself? Im sorry. Jae-gyu was hit right in the forehead with a crystal ashtray thrown by Chairman Choi Chun-shik. He was finally able to get hisst chance again after receiving all sorts of harsh insults and threats from Chairman Choi Chun-shik. [This is thest time! If you do something strange that harms the group again this time, I''m sure you and all of the GM''s top tier will be blown away! understand? Be prepared to lose everything and do whatever you want, or if that scares you, sit at your desk and do thepany work properly!] Chairman Choi Chun-sik''s threat, not a threat, to risk his position as the youngest son of a chaebol group and a member of the royal family. However, even in such a situation, Jaegyu did not give up his will in the slightest. Hey, Im thinking of giving all the stakes in the business to the hyungs, but what... Jae-gyu, whose position in thepany has already been irreversibly diminished. Jegyu had no intention of giving up the GM corps that he had built with his own hands, knowing that even if he quietly learned his job, the big yers would go back to his brothers and he would get the crumbs. But its fortunate... the president didnt sternly stop me from returning again. It must have been a waste to be a kkondae. Still, it''s because it''s the top that has funds that can''t be ignored. The amount of money invested is also significant. GM, which has already supported tens of billions of dors at the group level. The principal has already been repaid a long time ago, but even after that, it generated sales and profits that could never be ignored. Of course, the gaze was not good because it caused tangible and intangible damage to the entire group that easily exceeded the benefit. Because it belongs to the game system, I couldn''t take away the operating rights of the guild without my consent, so I couldn''t do this or that, so I left it alone. If it was a realpany, they would have already taken it away. Chairman Choi Chun-shik always sings about creating new businesses for thepany and strives to find future food. That''s why he couldn''t bear to force Jegyu out of the group. Maybe because I was expecting that the GM group might y a role as a cash cow for the GM group. So this time, no matter what happens, we have to save the GMpany. Even if it''s the top of that goddamn pie or the nub. If the GMpany copses, I will lose my usefulness in thispanypletely. If it wasn''t for GM''spany, Jegyu would have nothing to say even if he was penniless and kicked out of his house. He asked with lively eyes as he understood better than anyone else thepany and the situation he was in from Chairman Choi Chun-shik. So, you too are determined to live or die in this matter. The moment I end, you too will have nowhere to set foot in thispany. ... I will do my best to help. He knew Jegyu, who had been working as an attendant''s secretary since he was in middle school. Since he was almost thrown out because of the eldest son and second son of Chairman Choi Chun-shik, who had already dominated the office of thepany, the only ce he could lean on was the youngest son of this group, who was a child of depravity. Then... lets do it properly. After putting the bandage on his forehead, Jegyu muttered coldly with eyes full of life as he stood up and warmed up. If you want a war, you have to do it. It started like that. That is the counterattack of the top of GM. Chapter 204 Chapter 204 How Can You Sell This? (3) There are countless things that differentiate Arcadia from other games, but among them, the economy-rted system was unusually unique. contract system. If you purchase a nk paper scroll that can be easily purchased at any vige general store, write the details on it, and conclude a contract with an agreement between the two parties, you will be bound under the assistance of the system. Several system developers who saw these systems for the first time were horrified. [What kind of technology is this?] [Crazy..... Not a contract within a set script, but freely writing out the details?] From concluding contracts for basicmodity trading or transportation, service contracts such as mercenaries or research services, or various Even national treaties with intricately intertwined conditions. People were amazed at the fact that it was possible to form a contract with conditions on everything regardless of the category, and could not hide their curiosity about how that was possible. [With the Smart Contract technology developed by Arcadia, we have a vast amount of data by collecting basic contracts around the world on our own. Through this, we are trying to ensure that users can experience the most simr to real life no matter what kind of contract they establish in the game.] An official from Arcadia Co., Ltd. exins the structure rted to the contract system. As he exined to these curious people, he warned them in a strong tone. [Therefore, once again, I emphasize that you should be careful if you sign a contract in the game. Even though the contracts made therein are in the game, they are real contracts that are binding only therein . However, other than this, there were many shockingly surprising parts, so the contents rted to the contract system were quickly buried. That is, until that incident'' happened. Ha ha ha ha. Work, my ves. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I can''t do any more! What the fuck! They are working hard outside, but do I have to do this work inside as well! Quaaaaaa! You damn vile lord! Baron Mikhail, the demon of capitalism, who used this contract system to snatch sloppy users. By mass-producing thousands of victims, making them quit the game, and exploiting newbies to the very least a drop of their marrow, he taught people a great lesson. wait a minute. Please read the terms and conditions. yes? Customer, there is nothing special about that... Will you take responsibility if there is a problem after just agreeing? ..... The lesson is that you should carefully read all of the long and vast terms and conditions whenever you sign up for a mobile phone or a site. Still, there was one positive thing brought about by Baron Mikhail''s situation. The point is that the contract system is known to people and has begun to be used very actively. Did you break the contract? Poop quickly in the town square. no! What kind of vitions are you putting this in! That is my heart. You should have read the contract correctly. no! Its a game, but how do you poop! I dont know. Take care of yourself. Strange (?) contracts were rampant, but there was also an upper section that grew by making huge profits by utilizing investment techniques and contracts that are only used in modern economics. Same with GM. Lord of the Four Tops! You are back! Are you here! When he reconnected for the first time in several months, the NPCs greeted him with friendly faces. However, despite their wee greetings, Jagyu spoke in an annoyed tone about what he didn''t like so much. How on earth did you do your work, so the size of the upper ranks shrank so much? Obviously, even when hest essed, the total asset value at the top was on the verge of 8 million. However, he couldn''t believe his eyes when he checked the condition of the top. [Total assets: 4235212 gold] 4 million gold. He knew through repeated reports that the value of the upper ranks had fallen to almost half, but he couldn''t help but feel his head running hot as he saw the situation with his own eyes. The excessive expansion for the trade with the dwarves increased the loss. In particr, the losses suffered by those scorpion terrorists were the most serious. The top of GM, which almost broke the 3 million mark when the asset value fell the most. Everyone, starting with Jegyu''s attendant secretary, ran around panting as if they were on fire, but Jegyu''s anger, whether he knew it or not, showed no signs of abating. It''s not because you guys can''t do your job properly! The hell I can''t do anything right without me. Aren''t you ashamed to be paid a mediocre sry while doing this? uh? Jaegyu started pouring out remarks full of contempt for a long time. After venting all kinds of anger, he asked the assistant secretary. So... where is the top of that damn pie now? They say they are currently moving to the dwarves territory. The intelligence that they are moving from Amil to Shurim. Hearing this, Jegyu muttered coldly as he opened his eyes full of life. Dwarves... they seem to be sucking up all the profits we should have had. Because the most profites from trade between elves and dwarves. The fundamental reason why the top of the pie was able to grow so dazzlingly. It was because of all the rare items that everyone wanted from the trade between the elves and the dwarves. [Hey, Viscount Hiel. Have you tried drinking tea brewed with world tree leaves?] [Ah, this time I bought a small amount through the top of the pie and tasted it.] [Ohhh! did you buy it? That''s great. They said that the order was dyed, so even if you apply now, you have to wait for several months.] [Haha..... So I did a lot of work to get it.] [Frequently...? Ah, did you mean that the trading guild of the Territory was changed this time?] [The price is simr to that of the existing guild and they provide leaves of the world tree periodically, so there is no reason not to change it, right?] [ Hahaha. okay! That''s right!] Items full of rarity that will satisfy the vanity of nobles. If you gently shake these things as bait, high-ranking nobles, who are usually hard to see even once, rushed at you, asking to meet you. And countless customers at the top of GM who were taken away like that. No matter how hard they tried to look good, GM''s top team couldn''t see it well, and they were literally the top of the pie. But something is a little strange. what? ording to the spy at the top of the pie we nted... the top is movingpletely differently than before. They avoid all the cities they stop by on their way up and are only moving in the least crowded direction... No, they just don''t enter the vige itself. The top of the pie is being moved to a ce that people don''t frequent. A question mark appeared on Jegyu''s face at their actions, which a merchant going up would never do. Why are they doing this all of a sudden? Anything rted to that? Once the spy we nted is the lowest point within the top of the pie, there is no exact information. Now, I think I learned about this while I was in charge of supporting the upper ranks... It seems that something extremely important is being moved. what....? important stuff? Otherwise, we wouldnt move so stealthily by stopping by the vige to recover from fatigue and getting supplies in a secluded outskirts. Jegyu and his assistant who have been working as merchants all along while ying Arcadia. Since they knew all the details and the process of leading the guild to go up, you could tell just by hearing how suspicious the actions of the pie corps were. Supplements... you didnt stop by the vige and ask someone else to get them...? yes. That''s for sure. It is said that what the spy is doing at the top of the pie right now is preparing the supplies. ..... I don''t know the exact reason, but the top of the pie is moving more stealthily than ever. When he heard that he was avoiding towns and cities, receiving only necessary items, and not exposing his whereabouts, Jegyu thought a lot inwardly. Hit this...? Don''t you?'' to attack other guilds. As a person in the same industry, it was a situation that should never be done and was considered taboo. Especially in the case of the top of the pie with a criminal record. Boss, how about watching for a while? I dont know exactly what that item is, but if I create another big controversy on the first day of my return, the president will feel ufortable again. It is obvious that even at the top of the pie, they will upload rted videos, create huge issues, and respond by highlighting the image of GM as a badpany. That''s why I didn''t want to create a more dangerous controversy than now, so the assistant secretary wanted to be a little cautious, but it wasn''t a regtion. No, at times like this, we need to be more aggressive. yes....? Jae-gyu has been born as the youngest member of a conglomerate family since he was born. As a member of the Royal Family and living in a position superior to anyone else, he could not stand still and watch as the vulgar merchant robbed him of his pie and grew up. Didnt you say you were moving covertly? Then, the number of people will be minimized, so even if you hire mercenaries, it will be all you need to prepare a few strong people. I dont know if they used users or NPCs, but for now, gather all the troops as soon as you can afford money. Do young master! If that''s the case... The secretary''s face turned pale at Jegyu''s decision to start an all-out war. However, he objected to the decision and opened his mouth to persuade him, but Jaegyu cut off his words before he could speak. Did I make it clear? This is war. war of money. Merchants who use all sorts of conspiracies and despicable means to steal the other party''s business and inte their tax by forgetting their funds metallurgy and metallurgy. As otherrge merchants have grown, this harsh wild jungle and battlefield that grows at the expense of others was the world of merchants, so Jaegyu had no qualms. Did we try to make the most of our profits because of the power struggle? that''s right. It did. If it''s a merchant seeking profit, it''s natural, and there''s no need to know about the circumstances of the other upper ranks. But unlike other tops where you lie down and pick up crumbs, what did you do with the top of the pie? hit us I mean really fucked up. A third party called Dex intervened, but basically, in the video, it was the Pie Merchant who caused enormous damage by revealing that the GM Merchant was a vicious merchant, so Jaegyu''s grudge against them was immeasurably deep. So we have to do it right. I dont know what that important item is, but it would be a big blow if it was stolen during transport, right? Thats true, but... When the assistant secretary hesitated with a puzzled face on what to do with this. Jegyu said coldly with a strange smile on his face filled with madness. Then prepare. From now on, we will go to full-scale war. Chapter 205 Chapter 205 Why are you touching that? (1) Top of the pie. This guild, which started with a capital of less than 100 gold, began to change beyond recognition through an idental opportunity. [Please monopolize all trade between dwarves and elves from now on.] Dex, a mysterious yer who saved them from the crisis of being attacked by the GM group. I don''t know what the reason is, but as he said, the monopoly trade right he readily handed over to the top of the pie. In addition, the amount of 10,000 gold made it possible to inte the size of the entire upper ss in an instant. [Ah, the top of the pie... I think I''ve heard the name. They''ve be quite famoustely.] [You can trust the goods of the Merchant.] [Would you like to trade with our Merchant? I''ll make sure to pay the price of the items decently.] From therge merchants to the nobles of countless kingdoms and empires. Because people who wanted to make a deal with the pie merchants and buy goods from different races lined up every day, they had no choice but to scream at the exploding workload. You''re too busy...! Brother... I think this will probably require more hands? yes....? Lemon and Apple are ambitious to expand their business across continents. However, there was a limit to NPCs alone in order to handle the work that took ce in the entire continent in real time. If you want tomunicate business-wise while sending messages, you have to choose from among the users, but... Is that possible...? Until now, the guild that the two of them had been running small. All I had to do was work as an employee of an ordinary small business like Apple or Lemon, but I had no experience of managing an employee with the title of president, so I was worried about the fact that I had to hire an actual employee, not an NPC. For now, it is unreasonable to expand the size of the upper ranks in the current state. You have to set up branches all over the continent and operate them to conduct transactions on their own, but if they are made up of NPCs, it''s not efficient. I don''t know if it''s in a stable system, but it doesn''t fit our case. That''s right..... Recing the operation with NPCs is possible only when a certain amount of customers are secured and the operation is operated without major changes... The top of the pie changes and moves busily every day. Those who had to discover new customers and form a distributionwork from the bare ground needed people who would move in perfect order ording to their instructions. Then, its decided to recruit the first official member of the pie corps. Wow..... Seeing how we hire staff, we have grown a lot too... Changes have taken ce in just a few months. Seeing the small business run by the two of them gradually transforming into a well-to-do business by recruiting employees, Lemon muttered with a face that he couldn''t believe the current reality. The two soon hired several employees. They werepletely unaware that among the people they hired, they were mixed with people with different goals. * * * A mountainside with few people. When night fell for game time, Pie and Lemon, who were preparing to pitch a tent and sleep out, were startled by a sudden loud rm. [The Sensitive Sense'' skill has been activated.] [Warning. Enemies aiming for the top attempt an ambush.] [The set item effect of Careful Merchant'' activates.] [The overall stats of the defending troops increase by 30%.] [Movement speed increases by 25% when fleeing.] [Enemies'' overall stats are reduced by 10%.] . . . A sensitive sense'' skill that all merchants possess. Pie and Lemon shouted loudly when they saw that the set effects of the equipment they had spent a lot of money on were activated. It''s an assault! All emergency! Defense troops, prepare for battle! An enemy! NPCs move in perfect order with the cries of pie and apple. However, before they were ready to respond, a huge fireball flew in from somewhere. Quaang. Quaaaaagh! Fire! fire! Bring the sand now! You''re a wizard! Everyone ready to attack! A wagon burst into mes, and the entire encampment sprung into an uproar. Those who put out fires and those who prepare for battle. And he started preparing to move ording to the prepared measures, such as organizing an escape group to run away with the goods first. But Pie and Lemon were quick to realize. The fact that those who attacked them now...pletely surrounded the entire encampment, exuding a life-threatening spirit. This can''t be...! How many people are there? You arepletely surrounded! Oh shit...! It''s X. Ah, why am I in this situation when I am a mercenary? The sighs of NPCs in despair and the curses of users who were certain that they would die unconditionally. No matter how you look at it, Apple''s head began to spinplicatedly as they saw those who were shaken by a situation where there was no chance of winning. How on earth...?'' For a covert maneuver, the Pie Merchant Army organized this uptrend with less than 100 elite members. However, those who surrounded them had an iparable numerical superiority, numbering close to a thousand. As if they knew their movements in advance, they were fully prepared. Brother... this is... Lemon speaks with a hard, serious expression, perhaps making a simr judgment. Apple looked at her and nodded. that''s right. They are definitely not bandits or thieves from a group of simple NPCs. A situation that cannot happen unless they are convinced that they are moving something important and attack. In particr, they were in the middle of moving something that was nothing else and should never be taken away, so the two had no choice but to be very nervous about the sudden crisis of despair. Who the hell... Lemon muttered with a face that he couldn''t understand the current situation at all. Unlike Lemon, Apple said with a confident face. Who is that? It''s the guy who does this nasty thing against us... They all wear hoods, as if they don''t want to reveal their identities. But Apple eximed, ring at anyone observing the situation from far away in the safe zone. It must be only the top of GM. G GM top? They''re...? Voices bursting out from here and there as a catalyst for Apple''s words. They looked at the group that surrounded them with suspicious eyes. And soon, that doubt turned into certainty and started spewing out all sorts of insults. Hey, are these bullies still out of their minds? Start streaming video. Where else are you going to do nonsense? Have you seen such an evilpany? It was like thatst time, and again this time? Users who are streaming the video and insisting on stuffing the current situation. With their reaction at the forefront, Lemon shouted with a slightly triumphant face. If you dont want to be on the 9 oclock news again as a badpany, go back right away. If you back down now, I''ll make it happen! Unlike in the game, in real life, Lemon threatens with the status of a well-known conglomerate. But, contrary to expectations, her threats did not work at all. ...You''re misunderstanding something. The mysterious man who opened his mouth for the first time. When he took off his hood and revealed the character name above his head, everyone shouted in shock. [GM Gold bar] What is it? The upper rank of GMs upper ss...? Titles and nicknames appeared above his head. When the top column of GMs upper management team was revealed without the slightest hesitation, embarrassment appeared on everyones faces. And Jaegyu said towards the top of the pie. In Arcadia, looting and raiding is also a piece of content. In fact, there are users who y as bandits who seek profit by attacking the guild, and there are frequent cases of instigating attacks or maneuvering for the purpose of interfering with the transportation of another guild. The world of Arcadia, which is actually harsher and more hardcore than reality. From the moment they leave towns and cities, keeping their goods safe from the threat of monsters and thieves that maye out of nowhere is the most important and difficult task for merchants. And pirates and thieves who attack merchants in the hope of making a fortune in this upward movement are also gaining poprity that cannot be ignored. So when he shamelessly admitted what he had done, it was at the top of the pie that he had nothing to say. Is it really such a big mistake to sabotage apetitor who is a real threat to our top ranks? Don''t be silly! Bigpanies like you harassing the weak like us... The weak... Are you really the weak? ..... Unlike before, the top of the pie has grown tremendously in just a few months. In fact, if it continued to grow at the current momentum, it was certain that it would far surpass GM in less than a year, so Lemon could not open its mouth to Jaegyu''s question. I bet you all know that it doesnt matter now whether you post a video on the inte andin to people or not, right? It''s not a small guild that can''t use any power like before, but arge corps that has begun to have a scale and power that cannot be ignored on this continent. If you fail to properly protect a single item you transport and suffer, it''s just to let the whole world know about your ipetence. The victim is on the rise. The fist is stronger than thew. In this fantasy world where everything is driven by the strict rule of thumb and the logic of power, no tearful appeals or acknowledgments would work. And Apple and Lemon, who knew this better than anyone else, turned pale at the attitude of Jekyu and GM, who seemed to have no intention of backing down. What should I do...?'' Not at any other time, but today...'' Unlike the usual times when they were moving elves and dwarves, they were carrying very special items that should never be taken away. That''s why these two couldn''t help but be embarrassed by the crisis of despair more than ever. Shit! All ready for battle! Exodus! Run at all costs while we buy time! The top of the pie, realizing that battle cannot be avoided. Although they moved in perfect order under the direction of Apple and Lemon, Jegyu looked down at them with aughable expression and gave an order to the mercenaries who had finished their preparations. Power attack. Wipe them all away. Thus, for the first time, the pie guild suffered an unforgettable disgrace. The guild leader in charge of the corps and the wounded lord were killed at once and the goods being transported were robbed. And that fact was immediately conveyed to one person. [The Pie Guild has been mysteriously attacked.] [The goods being transported have been robbed.] [The Guild''s reliability is drastically reduced.] [The Guildlord Apple'' and the injured Lemon'' have passed away.] . . . what....? Messages pouring in suddenly. I don''t know if it was because he was the major shareholder at the top of the pie holding 50% of the shares or because he was the one who entrusted the delivery of the goods, but I was able to get a rough idea of the situation by looking at the two people who were logged out in the friend window. Why is that, Master? Looking at Jaeyoung, who was standing with his eyes closed nkly, Tan asked with a curious look. No... some guys stole my things... It''s nothing else, but the skull of Kervenian who went to another continent with great difficulty. Jaeyoung muttered with an evil smile at the fact that there was a big guy touching it. Is it fun? Chapter 206 Chapter 206 Why are you touching that? (2) The GM team that sessfullypleted their surprise attack on the top of the pie. Jegyu, who annihted everyone, including Apple and Lemon, was shocked to see the identity of the items they were moving. This is...? [Cerberian Skull - Legend] The skull of a vicious red dragon that is only talked about in legends. Due to the mana umted over thousands of years, it boasts the strongest hardness and highest mana conductivity among dragon bones. If processed well, it will be the best material to make the best weapon. -???? -???? -???? Weight - 2.5t Arge object covered in thick nkets. Jegyu''s head began to spinplicatedly when he realized that the item the Pi Merchants wanted to protect until thest moment of his death was the skull of the red dragon that had recently caused a great deal of attention. I was wondering why you resisted so fiercely... Is this why you did it? Even though it was a battle with no chance of winning, the Pi Merchants Company resisted fiercely and responded. However, it was only after confirming the true identity of the goods they were transporting that Jegyu could understand why. Wow... Awesome! How much is this? Ow... Dragonborn... so many? How much can I get for it? It must be worth calling. It''s not an item you can get if you want it in the first ce. Even those belonging to the top of GM or mercenary users hired for a short time are looking around at the grayish-white giant skull with a little reddish eyes full of greed. Seeing that, Jegyu gave an order to his attendant. What are you doing? Hurry up and pick up some stuff. Tighten the mouth of the users. I see. His assistant, who hurriedly ran out at Jegyu''s words and began to rectify the situation by dispersing the murmur. Someone approached Jegyu, who was watching the process from afar. I wondered if you asked me to lend you my strength for revenge... but it was truly unusual. Count Fabine, a middle-aged knight wearing antique armor. A noble and sword master of the Harmel Empire, which dominates the eastern part of the second continent of Arcadia, he said with excitement on his face. I didn''t expect this, but... Jegyu, who didn''t know that the item the pie group was carrying was a huge amount of dragon bones. However, Count Fabine made a strange expression at his words, but soon muttered that it didn''t matter. If you didnt know, you must be a very lucky man. I mean, the raiding guild was carrying the Dragon Bones. The duke has been watching yourpany carefully, and he''ll probably be very surprised if he reports on this. Oh and ..... Count Fabine, who eagerly gave him all sorts ofpliments. However, to Jegyu, who was immersed in his own thoughts, not a single word of his story came into his ears. The fact that this skull is at the top of the pie means that a user named Dex is involved...'' An incident that shocked people all over the world, and a catastrophe that made Japanese users gnash their teeth and tremble. Ban Incident. The name of the first revealed dragon, Kervenian, was clearly written in the item description window, so Jegyu was able to figure out the source of this dragon skull that the top of the pie had at once without any other confirmation. A user who has recently been heating up Arfandia and receiving great fame and attention from users. First Dragon yer. The lord of the ck panties(?). Dex. Of course, because he had a very bad rtionship with GM, Jaegyu couldn''t look at him very well, but seeing the way he showed when hunting dragons and the fact that he was very popr with other users, he shouldn''t be touched easily. It was no different from being at risk. How is it...?'' Contrary to what was expected, Jae-gyu went beyond the top of the pie and even provoked people who should not be touched. It wasn''t intentional, but since it had already happened, he had no choice but to worry about the disposal of this skull that came into his hands. It''s uneptable to quietly return the item, but it''s a dangerous item to hold while looking for a suitable seller...'' s huge item. So when he thought of Dex, who woulde running after realizing that his belongings had been stolen, Jagyu knew better than anyone else that he had to dispose of these things as quickly as possible. Anyway, it''s not enough to deal with that guy with force... But even if he calmly returned it, he wouldn''t be the guy who would easily back down, so he''d definitely try to retaliate. As a merchant, Jegyu knows very well that it is an item with astronomical value to just return. So he had no choice but to worry. Should I return the item to the top of the pie or the user called Dex and lie down t and ask for forgiveness, or should I dispose of the item as quickly as possible and wipe my mouth? The upper lord haspletely recovered the goods. It is now transportable. While Jae-gyu was contemting his next move, the assistant who finished all the clean-up. At his words, Jaegyu suddenly raised his head and took a look at the huge skull the size of a house. Count Fabine. Do you have anything to say? Count Fabine questioned Jegyu''s serious-looking face with a curious look. Jegyu asked him. Could I see the Duke of Diern as soon as possible? * * * The Harmel Empire, located in the eastern part of the second continent of Arcadia, was a powerful nation that exerted enormous influence over the entire continent based on its powerful military power and huge territory. [Long live the Harmel Empire! Long live the Darkin Emperor!] The Darkin Emperor who reliably ruled the huge empire with a powerful royal authority and excellent military power to the point of being called the iron-blooded emperor. The empire he built truly greeted a golden age unprecedented in history, and everyone achieved a peaceful and peaceful era. But... he was weakened by the passage of time. In his illness, which was so difficult to move that he did not fit the title of emperor, a fierce invisible war broke out in the imperial family, the heart of the empire. The darkin emperor who did not appoint a crown prince and did not give up the position of emperor. And two children aiming for his ce. When all kinds of conspiracies and secret ns began to unfold among the high-ranking nobles who started lining up for the two, a huge invisible confusion began to rise. The Duke of Diern couldn''t help but feel embarrassed by the sudden guest from Count Fabine. ...You''ve brought some really great stuff. The massive dragon bones that filled the backyard of his mansion. The first time I saw him, I couldn''t believe it, so I checked him two or three more times. The Duke of Diern had no choice but to believe it after seeing the reaction of the exclusive wizard who was extremely excited and salivating at the skull. The fact that this skull brought to him is the skull of a real dragon that only appears in legends. First of all... I heard that the source of the item is not legitimate... That''s right. The Duke of Diern, who has already been reported to Count Fabine. In response to his question, Jegyu frankly admitted that the skull was stolen without the slightest hesitation. ...Shameless. You stole someone else''s stuff that wasn''t yours and brought it to me. The Duke of Diern muttered contemptuously, looking at Jegyu''s words. However, despite such an irritating provocation, Jegyu did not waver in the slightest and answered his words with a smile. Isn''t it true that even stolen goods are coveted? Seeing that he didn''t throw me away even after knowing all the facts before and after meeting me, I can see that the duke has a lot of interest in this item. The Duke of Diern, who was trying to open up the rules. However, as if he didn''t like his attitude of docilely passing it over as if he wasn''t happy and even attacking him, he didn''t hide his ufortable expression and rather threatened him. You''re arrogant... I can make a deal with you right now by tying you up and returning this item to its original owner. There are reasons and justifications for doing so. For a noble aristocrat, punishing the thief and returning the stolen goods would have been a way to raise honor and clean up the transaction, but Jegyu was sure he wouldn''t. Do you really think so? What do you mean? You know how stealthily they were moving this item. They were moving so secretly that no one knew about them until I struck them. ..... Although he didn''t know the exact reason, he knew for sure that they were heading to the Dwarven city of Sands of Forge through an insider. He said with a rxed smile. I don''t know what the top of the pie is for sure, but one thing is for sure. They categorically never intended to bring this Dragonborn into the arms of the Harmel Empire. The Dragon Bone, a legendary material used to create powerful weapons with astronomical value and absolute strategic weapons. Even a very small amount of Dragon Bone and even a single Dragon Bone weapon canpletely change the battlefield. How does such arge amount of Dragon Bone flow into a specific country? This was a serious threat to the security of the Harmel Empire. The Duke of Diern made a serious expression when he thought about it. Jae-gyu asked him again, as if to kill him. Still, would you really risk that chance and arrest me and return this object to its original owner? The Duke of Diern was silent for a long time at those words. He asked Count Fabine, who was standing next to him. Is what this adventurer is saying true? yes. From what I''ve confirmed, it''s been moving incredibly covertly. They received supplies from outside, and were deliberately moving secretly in ces where people were sparse and out of our surveince as much as possible. That''s right... The Duke of Diern closed his eyes at Count Fabine''s assurance and began to ponder something. Not long after, he looked at Jegyu and said. Adventurer, I understood your suggestion well. It was well worth considering, and to be honest, you''re a mean merchant with no honor, but you''re very good at teasing those three tongues. Thank you for thepliment. But... they don''t talk about the price for handing over this item to the Empire. say exactly What do you want from me... this empire in return for handing over this enormous dragon bone? The Dragonborn, which does not exist as a general market price. In particr, in the case of a whole dragon bone thatpletely maintains its shape, rather than fragments such as some bone fragments, it has never historically existed, so calling its value literally was no different from the price. In other words, things that do not have a market price. When asked what he wanted in return, Jaegyu said urgently as if he had waited. Please give strength to our upper ranks. Power...? The Duke of Diern tilted his head, not understanding exactly what Jaegyu said. To him, Jaegyu began to exin the big picture he was drawing. Certainly, the guild guild and the original owner, who took the item, will move to get the dragon bone back. At that time, let the Empire protect our caravan. And ask our caravan for the goods this empire and the imperial family need. Then we will supply those items by any means possible. That means... Are you asking for immunity from your theft and permission to supply the empire and the imperial family? That''s right. Jegyu''s proposal to give away something of great value. Of course, for the GM and Jagyu, it was an opportunity that would nevere again, and it was a great opportunity that was like a bridgehead for tremendous growth. He said with a satisfied smile. You seem to know your situation and position very well. good night. I will ept your offer. thank you. But let me tell you one thing: the owner of this item, an adventurer named Dex, is a very powerful person. Even if you don''t know, you''ll definitely try to get this thing back, so be prepared for this... Are you ignoring the power of the Empire now? Jae-gyu tried to warn him as much as possible as a seller of stolen goods. But perhaps because of his pride, the Duke of Diern cut him off and said in a cold tone. Compared to a humble merchant like you, dont worry about being insignificant. The great Harmel Empire is not a ce that can be threatened by a single adventurer. Chapter 207 Chapter 207 Why are you touching that? (3) Prince Dmitry of the Harmel Empire. He was awake from his sleep by the Duke of Diern, who came to visit himte at night, but he was still dressed up and greeted him. What are you doing at thiste hour, Duke of Diern? Late in the morning when everyone is asleep. But he spoke with an excited voice and a slightly flushed face. I have obtained something that will be of great power to the Empire. Something that will help...? What are you talking about? The Duke of Diern began to exin the process of acquiring the Dragon Bone. However, Dmitri, who was listening to the story, muttered with an expression of disbelief. Huh..... The Duke of Diern is telling me to believe it now? A dragon''s skull in perfect condition? I''ve never heard of such a thing existing on this continent, and even if it did, how could one of the guilds have it? Of course I can''t believe it, but it''s true, Prince. There is no reason for me to ask for a meeting thiste at night for no reason, is there? ..... The Duke of Diern, apetent chancellor responsible for the enormous finances and internal affairs of the empire, no one else. Dimitri''s expression, seeing his sincere expression, also began to harden, as he, who was full of intelligence and dizziness more than anyone else, had no reason to tell obvious lies with absurd stories for no reason. That means... That''s right, Prince. It seems that the day when you will be His Majesty the emperor of this empire is not far off. Prince Dmitry was more ambitious than anyone else. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn''t have been any problems with being installed as the crown prince from a young age, inheriting the throne and bing emperor. However, his temper was so violent and greedy that he did all sorts of bully-like acts, so the current emperor hesitated to install Dmitri as crown prince. And in the meantime, showing great genius, he quickly attracted the attention of nobles and major ministers, and his two-year-old younger brother, Vines, the second prince of the empire, emerged as a strongpetitor. [I haven''t decided which of you two will be the next emperor of this empire. So.... Prove each other to me. I wonder who will be able to take over this great and splendid empire I created so that its glory and honor will not be shaken.] Thus began the scramble for the throne. In the chaotic situation of not deciding who would be the emperor, the main nobles of the empire began to line up between the two brothers. However, because of his entric personality and outrageous behavior, Dmitri started to be pushed by his younger brother. The ability he possesses also did not show such an exceptional aspect, so the grades he showed to the emperor were also pitiful and insignificant. A huge amount of dragon bones. If the Empire can absorb all of this and process it into powerful weapons... The Empire''s power will be stronger than ever before, so that no country dares to oppose it. To the extent that even the Holy Empire would not dare to do anything about it. And even after making up for all of Dmitri''sckluster performance, the dragon bone, a material that remains for a long time and can reverse it. Through that, the Duke of Diern nned to raise him to the position of emperor. And after hearing his sweet words, Dmitri smiled stupidly as he imagined his own brilliant future as soon as his irritation melted away like snow. Keukkeu..... is that so? That''s great. I will never forget your help. It is natural. Don''t think of it as help, please feel free to ept it. I know it''s not even in my heart, but I''m still in a good mood, Dmitri. He exuded a friendly atmosphere and asked the Duke of Diern. Rather... so where is that thing? I hid it safely in my mansion. Let''s move to this imperial pce as soon as possible. Your mansion is safe enough, but wouldn''t the treasure house of the imperial pce be the safest? Prepare to do so, I will tell you. In the midst of discussing the best way to increase Dmitri''s political standing by using the dragon bone. The Duke of Diern said as if he had suddenly remembered. Oh, and I have something to tell you about the Dragon Bone. What are you talking about? The guild that moved the item and the original owner are separate. All of them are known as a group of adventurers... They will probably struggle to find the Dragon Bone. Dmitri is fully aware that it was already obtained through looting. Whether the original owner was an adventurer or a resident of Arcadia, he thought that there was no one who could fight against the mighty empire and retrieve the item anyway, so Dmitri smiled and said as if it was nothing. What was that about? What are some bug-like adventurers doing? Dmitry asked back in a mocking tone full of ridicule. To him, the Duke of Diern nodded as if agreeing. It is. Never mind that. We have a lot to worry about and we don''t have enough time to care about such trifles. But these two did not know. That this conversation they had and the delicate political dynamics of thisplex running empire are monitored and analyzed by someone, and they are lighting the fire that turns another huge wheel of chaos. [Singrity detection, Harmel Empire.] [Analyzing the rtionship of events..... First-ss surveince target Dex.] [Switch to intensive analysis mode.] [Generate an expected scenario.....] Everything that happens on the Arcadia continent By Alice, the perfect artificial intelligence that monitors, contemtes, and analyzes. * * * After the 24-hour ess limit is lifted. Jaeyoung asked coldly as he saw the emaciated Apple and Lemon who hade to see the note he had sent. Could you please exin? What is this situation? The skull of Kervenian, which I handed over to them with all sorts of good intentions, as a major shareholder in the top of the pie with a 50% stake and a pleasure to meet after a long time. I asked to dispose of it at a high price, but rather than dispose of it, there were too many people, even Jae-young, to smile and wee those who had been robbed. I''m really sorry. Huh... heh... Im sorry. They didn''t even say it, but as if they had promised, both of them got down on their knees and apologized. But Jaeyoung said in a colder voice. I understand that you are sorry, so please tell me everything about breaking up with me. Apple noticed that they wanted an exnation, not an apology for things that went wrong. Jae-young, who had been listening to him exin what had happened for a long time, asked with an absurd face when he realized that the culprit who robbed his belongings was the GM. Did GM rob my belongings? Yes..... The GM upper management, which had been entangled in bad ties from the beginning. Jaeyoung frowned and muttered in a voice full of annoyance as he recalled the face of the top merchant who hadn''t had any trouble since the Maroon Kingdom. Eh. Those damn bastards still ain''t broke I still can''te to my senses. Seeing them repeat mistakes that even an IQ of 81 wouldn''t make, I wondered what the IQ of the top ss was. Once I have all the rted videos. I received all the y videos from the mercenaries who were escorting our guild and the users who belonged to us. I have also contacted the operator and the customer center. I am preparing now to hire awyer and legally file awsuit. ...is this a legalwsuit? I''m not sure... but I''ll have to try it anyway. A heinous crime, robbery, and murder that cannot be avoided in the real world. Perhaps if Arcadia were real, you would have already been in prison and eating beans, but the incident in virtual reality is just an illusion. Thewyer who rmended that they file awsuit with this seemed more insane, but seeing the two people struggling to catch at least a straw, Jae-young couldn''t face it anymore. First of all, dont try your best to file awsuit with awyer. I wonder if the court will hold a trial based on what happened in the game. But, first of all, filing awsuit... If you dont want to, dont. Do you want to be a world-famous celebrity by saying that you are suing for no reason, but your identity is stolen and the media is popr? ..... And can you file awsuit against GM Group and walk around the streetsfortably at night in Korean society? If you find out who filed thewsuit, I don''t think you''ll stay there from then on. As it is a foreignpany, Arcadia Co., Ltd. continues to ignore Korea''s request to provide personal information. That''s why GM couldn''t do anything about it, but if they filed awsuit and revealed their identity, the situation was bound to be moreplicated. That''s like that... Brother... ck... The two of them were quite taken aback as if they hadn''t thought of that. Tan, who was watching this, muttered something funny behind him. Kekekekeke. Is the owner going to find that GMpany or something? Repentance with sincerity can always be forgiven. It is not right to reprimand the victims who have been denied their best efforts without any selflessness. Tan smiles a sinister smile full of anticipation, saying that the moment of chaos, destruction, and destruction hase again. And L looks at these two with pitiful eyes and asks for forgiveness. Seeing the two of them showing interest in very contradictory contents, Jaeyoung fell into thought. Well... even if he is robbed, there is no particr damage.....'' The huge bones of Kervenian filled with his inventory. Compared to them, his skull was only a small part. In addition to the astronomical gold already in his hands and rare items filled with rare items worth calling. Since Jae-young had already gone to the United States beyond the normal level of financial sense, the dragon''s skull was just a small amount of money. Of course, it wasn''t at all from Apple''s and Lemon''s point of view. We willpensate you as much as possible, even by handing over all of our corps shares. Hey hey... please forgive me. Although the value has not been set, Apple and Lemon know better than anyone that the value is not at an ordinary level. So, the two of them asked for forgiveness, saying that they would hand over all the property they had, but Jae-young firmly refused the offer. no, I do not want. Why bother taking that top? yes....? The two questioned him with a puzzled expression. Jaeyoung grumbled with an expression of genuine annoyance. I know I did wrong, but that doesnt mean that ites back just because I handed over all the stakes in the top division. Rather, if I be the owner of a merchant enterprise, I will have to take care of all sorts of misceneous business operations necessary for the operation of the merchant enterprise, but if I, who is not a merchant, rises to such a position, I will soon fail. ..... The two look confused as if they dont know how to react to Jaeyoungs words. As the two of them kept their mouths shut, Jaeyoung smiled and said. First, lets get that thing. yes....? how....? I thought the area that was robbed was... the Harmel Empire, right? Yes..... Go to the nearest guard in the area that was robbed and report the damage. And send me all the rted videos. Let''s start with that. Jaeyoung smiled wickedly as he pondered all sorts of scenarios in his head in case rumors spread that he had handled this job neatly. What happened in the game, lets solve it in the game. For some reason, it was Jae-young who had an ominous (?) sign that this incident would never end small. Chapter 208 Chapter 208 You all had an idea, too? Guards of the Harmel Empire. As a country that grew up based on strong military power, the guards in charge of public order in cities and viges had strong authority and influence that could not be ignoredpared to other countries. hey! You bastard! something is winning For what purpose did youe to this vige? Follow me! I have something to investigate. You dare make a fuss in the city? Imprisoned for seven days ording to Imperialw. A guard who punishes adventurers who cause all sorts of trouble and disturbance with the right to take immediate action. Because they were more aggressive than any other country and punished criminal acts without mercy, Apple and Lemon actively used them of the unjust and atrocious crimes they were subjected to. Once you know. We have understood the details well, so please go back now. The receptionist shows a lukewarm reaction with a sour look on his face even after hearing both of their stories. Lemon and Apple questioned his attitude as if they were frustrated. Is that all? They might want to dispose of the stolen items right away, but shouldn''t we call in the people involved and investigate right away? A GM corps that opens a branch right across from the guards'' camp. He could start an investigation right away if he wanted to, but he seemed to have no intention of doing so, frowning at Apple''s words and speaking in a brusque voice. ording to Continental Law, we have no jurisdiction over events outside our jurisdiction. Listening to the story, it seems like a conflict between adventurers... It''s not like it happened in this city, so I don''t know what you''re asking us to do. continentalw. Aw and principle governing the rights and obligations of adventurers across the entire continent of Arcadia. Thisw, which seems to have a lot of intentions of gamepanies, contained provisions that seemed to have prepared for this situation. [The involvement of the city and vige guards is limited to disputes between adventurers within the area they are in charge of. However, considering the seriousness of the issue and the scale of the damage, it is possible to carefully decide to intervene.] Several cities and towns have been set up as safe zones and are pursuing absolute peace zones. Organizations such as the security guards and vigntes in charge of security resided everywhere and actively intervened in all sorts of conflicts, so users did not fight each other as much as within the vige. no i couldn''t fight Oh, thats really annoying. Are you greedy to get the best reward even though all you did was heal from afar? what? If it wasn''t for me, all of them would have been wiped out. Besides, this is a priest-only item! So, if you want to take it, give all the hard-working party members a fair amount of money! Giving money is a waste, but what kind of bullying mind is it to take the item? Anyway, the priests are adding more, really? what....? did you say everything? You bastard ck magician really want to search! why?e on? Shall we y? Yes float! Do you look funny as a priest? For ame ck magician like you, one shot of holy magic is enough! Ha... Hey, follow me. Who knows that you wont be able to leave? Whatever the reason, once there is amotion in the vige, the guards whoe running immediately suppress it. However, they didn''t care at all whether they killed or saved each other once they got out of town, so usually all fights and disputes took ce in the field. And in this part, light users who are enjoying the game in a small way have made requests to the gamepany every time. [Please penalize crimes that ur outside of town.] -Don''t ask. I died from a PK criminal and dropped rare items, as well as my level and skill proficiency. For a light user who only ys for about 2 hours a day, the damage is really hard to recover. It''s really disappointing. The guards keep their backs on what happened outside the vige. Please change the game system to prevent mass production of victims like me. Whether they kill each other or steal items, the guards don''t care about what happens outside of town. So, in the end, Apple and Lemon had no choice but to leave the ce after receiving an insincere response from the guards who seemed to have no intention of actively dealing with this. Haa..... I expected it, but... the situation is serious... There aren''t that many ways to ovee the current situation. Jaeyoung, who was waiting for me, asked when I left the guard building with a depressed expression. How have you been? Im not really interested..... I dont think Ill go out directly from the guards. Really...? yes. I am not interested in talking about the Continental Law. Rather, it is an annoyance. The reaction of the guards who seem to have no intention of intervening in this matter at all. When he came to the conclusion that it could not be solved through the in-game system, Lemon looked at Jaeyoung with a calm eye and asked. I... Dex. yes? Well... why don''t you try doing it the way you did before? If we reveal what GMs upper management team has done to the whole world through Arfandia, the bacsh will probably be extremely strong. Users who were angry at GM''s abuse of power and voluntarily retaliated by doing all sorts of terror to the top even though they didn''t ask for it. It was a story that I brought up because it was Lemon, who clearly felt their fear, but Jae-young''s reaction was sluggish. Hmm... I''m thinking about that too, but maybe people won''t react the way they did back then? yes....? why? Because the top of the pie ispletely different then and now. And... the items that were moved this time have already been exposed by the top of GM, right? In the past, the pie top was so small that even the name was not known. But now, based on explosive growth, it was transforming into a fairly famousrge top-tier, so it was difficult to buy people''s sympathy like before. There is one video uploaded to GM''s official channel. Because of that, Arpendia had already be incredibly noisy. [Is it such a big mistake to sabotage apetitor who is a real threat to our upper ranks?] [Don''t say nonsense! A bigpany like you bullying the weak like us...] [The weak..... Are you really the weak?] Apple and Lemon looked puzzled. And the video that came out of the look of the top of the GM that surrounded them. Inside, Jegyu Sang-ju, a member of GM''s upper management team, was speaking confidently and brazenly, refusing to give in the slightest to the threat of uploading the video. [I bet you all know that it doesn''t matter now whether you post a video on the Inte andin to people or not, right? It''s not a small guild that can''t use any power like before, but arge guild that has begun to acquire a scale and power that cannot be ignored on this continent. If you fail to properly protect a single item you transport and suffer, it''s just letting the whole world know about your ipetence.] Transportation The top of the pie started responding quickly to his words that ipetence in not being able to protect one item is wrong. [Shit! Everyone ready for battle!] [Outcast! Run away at any cost while you buy time!] And Jae-gyu gave the order with a smile as if he had waited for such a reaction. [Power attack. Wipe them all away.] The fierce battle started like that. The thing that was revealed after not too long had passed and the entire top of the pie copsed in a gray light. Everyone who saw it was shocked. - The fuck? What is that? - Kervenian''s skull...? why is this here? - Wow..... Look at the size. It''s really huge. Haha - Were you moving that? Amazing, Great. A Dragon Bone of great value. People went crazy over the fact that the perfectly shaped whole skull was being secretly transported somewhere through the pie top, and that the GM top intercepted it along the way. -Whether that''s a bad thing or not, GM''s top team is great too. How did you know..... -Wow, can''t I really just give you a fistful over there? -Honestly, I can''t stand that..... If even Jesus knew that, he would immediately pick up the cross and go to plunder. -But why is that at the top of the pie? -I don''t know. Does it have anything to do with Dex? Arpendia started to have all sorts of spections and conjectures. And then the point of the story started to flow in apletely wrong ce. -What is the rtionship between Dex and the top of the pie? -I heard from someone I know that the owner of the pie shop is Dex and his real family? -really? Somehow, he actively helped me in thest video, but was that all acting...? -The top of GM is amazing. How much money will you get if you sell that thing..... -But the top of the pie that was robbed of that thing is really..... Dex won''t let you go... People who look pathetically at the ipetence of the corps and acknowledge that the ability of the GM corps that sessfully captured it is great. When I saw thesements running full, I felt strongly that something was driving public opinion, but there was no clear physical evidence, so I couldn''t even respond. So Jaeyoung shook his head at Lemon''s suggestion and said skeptically. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to borrow the power of public opinion. If I were toe forward and appeal for help, well... I think those damn perverts would stand up. Obviously, there were plenty of people who would step out if Dex appeared in the video and asked for help. The official #1 guild of Arcadia''s 2nd continent, What color are Dex''s panties?''. I thought that things would be easily solved if this damn guild, which maintains Deck Fenmu'' while making a fuss about changing the guild name, made the move, but it was revealed on his channel for a long time asking for something using that as an excuse. Imagining lying down was more terrifying than anything in the world, so Jaeyoung shook his head and strongly refused. Then how... Lemon makes a desperate expression at Jaeyoungs words. However, seeing the movement of the top of GM, who was swiftly controlling even outside public opinion as if everything had been nned and prepared, Jae-young felt a strange sense of benevolence. Hey... I get to see my master getting fucked too. It''s really something to live for a long time to see. This time, it was done right... It seems that the GM team thoroughly prepared for it. And Tan and L, who are watching Jaeyoung''s suffering with an interesting gaze. Jaeyoung said to Pie and Lemon with an evil smile as if he was having fun. Hmm... But isnt the work really funnier than I thought? Is this... interesting...? Apples and lemons that make your blood run dry every second. However, whether or not they know their feelings, the two of them put on an absurd expression at the words of Jae-young, who strangely watched as if they were having fun at the hopeless situation. I thought it was an impromptu action... but judging from how things are going right now, it''s going against us, right? Its not actively taking the side of the top of the pie, either in the game or outside of it. Clearly, as the perpetrator, the top of GMmitted an injustice. However, when he saw that most of the users were envying and admitting that they were argepany, even though they had excellent strategies and enormous rewards in their hands, Jaeyoungughed evilly and muttered to himself. Have you all had an idea? Chapter 209 Chapter 209 Even the Boss Says It''s Hard! Arcadia Co., Ltd. The onlypany that provides virtual reality services worldwide. Those with overwhelming technology that no otherpany could match were literally monopolizing the entire industry and growing rapidly. [Next news. An analysis report has been announced that the corporate value of Arcadia, the first virtual reality servicepany in mankind, has exceeded 1,300 trillion won. As a result, the stock price of Ajin Electronics Co., Ltd., which holds arge share of Arcadia Co., Ltd., rose 12% during the market and closed at KRW 7.21 million, far exceeding the KRW 5 million that Chairman Jun-hee Lee had previously promised.] Arcadia Co., Ltd. Apany that has not even been listed on the stock market, but everyone is anxious to secure a share somehow. However, since the sale itself did not exist, the financial world had no choice but to suck their fingers and watch the exhaustpany making huge profits every day. [Request to officially list Arcadia on the market. It is also necessary to maximize corporate value by attracting private investment, and it is not good for the corporate image in the long run if a specificpany monopolizes all profits. Also, wouldn''t the value of the president''s holdings increase several times more than now? If the boss puts in a little more effort...] Banks, conglomerates, pension funds, and even the government. People who are anxious to somehow get the private sector to release stocks through President Lee Mi-yeon. She was fed up with dealing with people who tried to force her to go public, using any means and methods to calm her down. What happened? You don''t look good. Lee Joo-yong, executive director of Ajin Electronics and son of chairman Lee Jun-hee. He asked, looking at President Lee Mi-yeon, who was hanging up the phone with a strange smile and an annoyed face. Haa..... I''ve been getting too many spam callstely. Spam...? yes. Weird phone calls asking if we can sell some of ourpany stock. How the hell did I find out? It keepsing in on my personal and work phone. The same phone call shoulde once or twice, but every time ites from an unknown phone number, I want it because it is the same repertoire... Haha..... ? ...Where can I do that? In order to be listed, more than 25% of the stake must be released to the market, but is there anyone who will silently allow it? Arcadia Co., Ltd., apany that is not short of money and is already gaining explosive poprity and is raking in money with a rake every day. Even if you just stand still, the threepanies share the sweet fruit, and no one was shot in the head who dared to share it with others. That is true. I think the president will probably start yelling at me if I say something like that. If you want to invest, you can just invest in Ajin Electronics or Argos . And it''s hard to have an impact on thispany by doing that. If you really want to invest, you can make an indirect investment by buying stocks in threepanies that hold a 33.3% stake. However, there were too many people who were not satisfied with that and wanted to secure a stake in Arcadia without fail. Ugh. They said that even if thepany is doing well, it''s a problem..... More than that... Why did youe to see me? You''re not usually a busy person. Ah, there''s something the president himself asked me to deliver. Chairman...? CEO Lee Mi-yeon puts on a curious expression when she hears that Chairman Lee Jun-hee has asked for something to be delivered to her. Managing Director Lee Joo-yong rummaged through something in her arms and handed her a document. What is this....? The Underworld, an underground city being built by Ajin Construction. Recently, there are many people who have doubts about Underworld, so public opinion is a bit bad. So, if possible, he asked me to ask if it would be possible to realize the appearance of Underworld afterpletion in virtual reality. Hmm... is this the underground city youve been hearing about...? President Lee Mi-yeon takes out the contents of the document and scans it with an interesting expression. Then she looked at him with a startled expression and asked. Is this... for real? It seems like it has just been over a year, but the progress rate has already exceeded 60%? Under World, a superrge construction project since Dangun, started to suppress soaring real estate prices and apartment spection. It was a project started by President Jeon Ki-chan, risking his political life, and Ajin Construction and the entire group were mobilizing all their capabilities to promote it, but no one readily believed in the idea of creating an underground metropolis that could amodate 10 million people. Is there any reason for me to catch someone busy with a lie here? Lee Ju-yong, managing director, shrugs his shoulders and asks back. At his words, President Lee Mi-yeon looked over the contents of the document again with a strange expression and muttered. It''s scheduled to bepleted next year... So the point is, you want to make it public that this city is being built, but you can''t, so you''re saying you''re going to show the finished city to the public in virtual reality in advance? Right now, a huge cavity has been pierced with nothing, but if it is opened to the public in this state, it is obvious that the National Assembly will disturb it by promoting strange conspiracy theories, saying that it is a super-giant sinkhole and Seoul copse. People who have a very deep interest in Seoul real estate prices. Among the members of the National Assembly, quite a few stood up against President Jeon Ki-chan''s n and fought a desperate fight, so I had to be cautious that Ajin Construction, including Managing Director Lee Ju-yong, would be caught for nothing. I understand for now. Chairman Lee Jun-hee asked me, how could I refuse? I''ll pass it on to the relevant departments so they can implement this subterranean city nicely. Cracking down on your mouth...dont worry. President Lee Mi-yeon tells us in advance not to worry about the areas of concern. Lee Ju-yong, managing director, bowed his head with a satisfied smile. thank you. Hoho, say something. The two started chatting in such a friendly atmosphere. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon''s eyes started to tremble at the sudden phone call. hello....? CEO Lee Mi-yeon, whose eyes are full of anxiety. Managing Director Lee Ju-yong was looking at her with a curious look, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon had no time to pay attention to her at all because of her voice. [Oh, hello, boss. Are you avable on the phone right now?] Of course. Do you have anything to ask of me? [Um... not a request. I called to keep the promise I made the other day.] A promise... if...? Jaeyoung Yoon. Character name Dex. When he said that he had called to keep his promise, a dark cloud began to rise over Lee Mi-yeon''s face. And whether he knew her face or not, Jaeyoung spoke without hesitation as if it was nothing special. [I don''t know if you know, but you have the Kervenian I caught, right? I left the skull for sale... but it was robbed.] Yes...? I beg your pardon....? Red dragon Kervenian skull. It is not an exaggeration to say that the diamond itself is literally a walking diamond. [So.... I''ve been looking into it now, but it seems that the GM Merchant Merchant and the Harmel Empire are rted.] The GM Merchant, which is thergest among user-created merchants. And the Harmel Empire that seized hegemony in the eastern part of the second continent. Since Lee Mi-yeon is president Lee Mi-yeon, who constantly receives and understands the trends of the situation and forces in the game, she jumped up from her seat with a serious expression as if she had foreseen what was going to happen right away at Jae-young''s words. She waspletely unaware of Executive Director Lee Ju-yong, who was staring at her with round eyes at her fierce reaction. You cant say that...? President Lee Mi-yeon asks about the ominous words. And to her like that, Jaeyoung muttered in aughing voice as if it was fun. [First of all, I''m trying to solve it in a good way. Maybe if the story doesn''t go well... Well, I''m thinking about handling things as usual.] The scariest thing a madman says. Do what you normally do.'' Lee Mi-yeon, who knows all the splendid achievements he hasmitted in the past, so she felt cked out when he said that he would continue as usual. But before she could say anything, Jaeyoung hung up the phone, notifying her of what he wanted to say. [So I thought things might get louder, so I called and told you as I promised. You know the situation roughly, and I know the president''s position well, so I''ll try to do it in moderation. Then suffer.] Now, wait a minute. wait for a sec....! The phone cut off before she could catch Jae-young. Seeing CEO Lee Mi-yeon with a devastated expression at the constant beeping sound, managing director Lee Ju-yong couldn''t hold back his curiosity and had to ask. May I ask... what is it about? President Lee Mi-yeon, who always shows only a dignified appearance. Even in front of the National Assembly hearing on the dangers of virtual reality, as a witness, she showed only a confident appearance to the point of fighting with a member of the National Assembly. Who the hell is making her so embarrassed? However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not answer his question. I''m just engrossed in worrying about the meaning of that call and the future aftermath. What the hell happened? How did something get stolen...?'' A huge amount of dragon bones. GM top. and the Harmel Empire. President Lee Mi-yeon hurriedly took out her cell phone and searched Arfandia with only these three keywords. And she realized The fact that for the past few days, themunity has been making a fuss over the GM top tier, which has already unknowingly robbed the top pie. [It''s not that we didn''t do anything right, but it''s a world where it''s the fault of the robbed. Who told you to carry it so poorly and poorly fortified? Yes?] A member of the GM guild who raids the guild, steals goods, brazenly takes a video, and ridicules the ipetence of the Pi guild. President Lee Mi-yeon smiled as if her soul had gone out of her mind as she saw him plucking out all the nose hairs of a sleeping lion rather than going quietly away. Hahaha..... Hey... are you really okay...? Managing Director Lee Joo-yong cautiously asks her with a worried face at her mental state. Lee Mi-yeon, who stood still for a long time at his question, suddenly asked back with a bright smile. Um... Executive Director Lee Joo-yong? yes....? She is smiling but doesn''t seem to be smiling. Lee Joo-yong, the managing director, responded with a moment of shock at the illusion that a strong life force was emanating from his smile. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled at him and asked in a quiet voice. Do you know a little bit about the GM Group? If its the GM group... why are you suddenly doing that...? Lee Ju-yong, managing director, looks at her with a puzzled expression when she suddenly asks about the GM group. President Lee Mi-yeon smiled broadly at him and asked. Can I ask you a favor too? A request to give back as much as he fucked up. Chapter 210 Chapter 210 Fall of the Empire (1) The Harmel Empirepletely controls the eastern part of the second continent of Arcadia. Recently, strange ruptures have begun to be heard in the capital of this mighty empire, which boasts a mighty influence even in neighboring kingdoms. Quaang. What are you doing now! Duke of Diern! Duke Myers, the current Chancellor of the Empire and an ardent supporter of this prince, Viennes. He vigorously protested with a flushed face at the sudden arrival of the Duke of Diern. Your Majesty didn''t say that your condition was worsening and that you absolutely needed to rest! Still, to bring Prince Il and entice His Majesty with sweet words. What the hell are you doing behind the scenes! Duke Myers, who was handling most of the state affairs on behalf of the emperor, who was bedridden due to his recent worsening illness. He didn''t like the Duke of Diern, who bypassed him and came to meet the emperor himself, or Prince Dmitri Il, Prince Vines''s onlypetitor. However, the Duke of Diern''s attitude towards him was full ofposure. You seem too excited, Duke Myers. Prince Il had an urgent matter to report to His Majesty, so he hastily visited to discuss it. If you were offended, I apologize. The Duke of Diern apologized differently than usual and came out with a low profile. At his questionable attitude, Duke Myers momentarily calmed down his excitement and asked him with a calm look. Anything I want to report...? What is it? I don''t think that''s what I''m talking about. what....? Duke Myers, in the position of Chancellor in charge of all internal affairs of this empire. He was furious at the Duke of Diern''s attitude as if he was hiding something important because the Empire''s affairs were his own. But before he could even open his mouth, the chief chambein who assisted the emperor opened the door and showed his face. I... What''s going on? The chambein, noticing that the atmosphere was not very good, mumbled. When Duke Myers urged him in a tone mixed with annoyance at his attitude, the chambein looked at him cautiously and said, His Majesty the Emperor has summoned all nobles above the count. what....? draft call. Aristocrats spread across the vast territory of the Harmel Empire. Since summoning them to one ce was something that would only happen unless it was a very serious matter, Duke Myers'' eyes widened as if they would pop out at the emperor''s decision to suddenly summon all the nobles above the count. What do you mean...? What is a convocation order? On what agenda? Duke Myers asks what the reason is. But the head chambein shook his head as if he didn''t know. You didn''t say that. This is an edict written by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Check it out. A summoning order written on an antique scroll. He read it over and over again, unable to believe it, but he had no choice but to admit it when he saw the emperor''s seal clearly stamped on it. I don''t know what''s going on, but the fact that the Emperor is deeply interested in the things Prince Dmitry and the Duke of Diern are doing. How on earth is this going?'' Duke Myers has a lot of thoughts. However, he soon opened the door and saw the person stepping out, and hurriedly lowered his head. Prince Dmitry, greetings after a long time. Prince Dmitry of the Harmel Empire. Watching him leave the emperor''s residence with a bright expression on his face as if he was in a good mood, Duke Myers tried his best to dig up information somehow. His Majesty the Emperor summoned the main nobles. Its because I dont have a lot of free time. He said he regretted not being able to bring them all. Dmitri licked his lips as if he was deeply regretful. Looking at him, Duke Myers asked again. Can you tell me what agenda they are convening? The emperor who entrusted all state affairs to himself. Of course, in the case of major issues, he personally looked at them, but most of them were entrusted to Duke Myers, so it was notmon for him to handle matters independently in this way without discussing with himself, so Duke Myers'' expression was extremely serious. And at his question, Dmitri smiled like he was having fun and honestly told the truth. Recently, I got a lot of dragon bones. yes....? what does that mean? A dragonborn? Duke Myers with a confused face as if asking what he was talking about out of the blue. But Dmitri gave no exnation. He smiled contentedly, as if enjoying his reaction, unable to hide his embarrassment. The details will be discussed at the government meeting. The fewer people you know, the better the story, Duke Myers. Prince Dmitry Il and the Duke of Diern leave the imperial family and go somewhere after casting Don''t let me know''. Seeing the two of them, Duke Myers was moved to tears, but he had no choice but to step back. First of all... I need to meet Prince Viness. Duke Myers hurries to the pce where Prince Binness is staying. Thus, a fierce and bloody invisible battle began in the luxurious imperial pce, the heart of the Harmel Empire. The fierce political battle between Prince Dmitri, who suddenly aims for the throne of the emperor and prepares for a fatal blow, and Prince Vines, who tries to protect the throne of the emperor who will return to him in preparation for his counterattack. * * * State Council of the Harmel Empire. The high-ranking nobles who gathered at this meeting, which was held unusually quickly after His Majesty''s Majesty''s summons, talked to each other without knowing why. Why is His Majesty the Emperor giving the ending so short? At least ten days should be enough, but three days? It was difficult with a wagon, so I ended up using the magic tower. Thats right. What''s so urgent that you summoned it so quickly? Those who rushed to the capital by paying high prices and even using the warp gate of the mage tower. However, since no one was informed of the agenda or schedule of the meeting, the noise in the meeting room only grew louder and louder. His Majesty the Emperor ising! The meeting hall became quiet only after the loud cry of the chief chambein rang out. At that time, everyone''s thoughts beplicated as they see the emaciated emperor slowly entering the conference room. The emperor slowly sat down in the seat of honor in the center of the conference hall, looked around at everyone, and spoke in a weak voice. Despite the tight schedule, everyone attended. He murmured as if he would be afraid of the aftermath if he had not attended. The atmosphere in the meeting room became much colder than before at his murmur, which was severely ill and weakened for a long time due to death. Dmitry. Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. The emperor looked around the nobles in the conference hall and called for Prince Dmitry Il. He looked at Dmitri, who was bowing his head towards him, and said meaningfully: This is all I can do. After that, everything depends on your ability. I am satisfied with making this moment possible. At Dmitri''s words, the emperor looked at him with a strange gaze and then dered to everyone. Today''s meeting was held at the request of Prince Dmitry Il. Listen to what he has to say and choose the direction that benefits the empire ording to your beliefs and thoughts. ...? ...? Aristocrats who have question marks on their faces at the words of the emperor who cannot understand them. However, at the emperor''sst words, they were all shocked. ording to the results of this meeting and subsequent achievements, I will determine the emperor who will rule the empire after me. omg! What do you mean by that? decision of the next emperor. The emperor who had never officially talked about his sessor between Prince Il and Prince Lee. When the emperor first brought up the story of the next sessor, which he had never mentioned even at the moment when his illness was getting worse and his death was near, the meeting hall became noisy as if a bomb had dropped. All quiet! bang. The emperor put everyone''s mouths to rest with a single roar and shotgun. He said, looking at his second son, who was sitting with a stiff face. Viennes. Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. Did you say you disagreed with your brother when I asked you the other day? That''s right. Vines, who found out how he knew Prince Dmitri''s ulterior motive just before the meeting was held, came to him and tried to stop the meeting somehow. Recalling the conversation at that time, the emperor said. Then, convince everyone in charge of the empire here. It''s not that I''m coveting this position of emperor and sabotaging your brother, but that Dmitri''s n will actually do more harm than good to the empire. That... I understand. Vines tried to protest the emperor''s words with an unfair expression on his face. However, he lowered his head when he saw Duke Myers shaking his head and sending a silent signal right next to the emperor. And with Vines'' agreement, the emperor turned to Dmitri and said: Then begin. All right. Dmitry got up from his seat when the emperor gave permission. As he gestured toward the other side, the huge door to the conference hall opened and several people began to enter. What is this...? What is that...? Suddenly, the knights dragging arge cart and carrying something huge to the conference hall. The nobles, who looked at them with curious eyes, soon saw the gigantic gray thing and shouted in horror. That, that... is that...? That shape is... a dragon? A huge size that looks like a two-story house. Eyes that were open and teeth that were sharper than saw des attached to the mouth. Just looking at it, it''s an overwhelmingly formidable appearance. Sensing the powerful energy of red mana emanating from within, the nobles of the wizard and knight families stood up without realizing it and shouted. Dragonbone! I can''t believe it... such a gigantic size! Where the hell did you get this...! I can''t believe it... Oh...! Oh God! The meeting hall was shocked in an instant. There were even people who forgot their status as nobles and came down in a hurry to y with Kervenian''s skull. Haa... If you make a staff with this...! It''s a really huge amount. How much does it weigh? If this is enough, I can use it for a little magic experiment...? Nobles from wizarding families who show frightening obsession. Even ordinary administrative aristocrats stared at the skull with greedy faces as they contemted the economic and political gains that this staggering amount of dragonbones would bring. Now that you''ve looked through everything, please return to your seat. Prince Dmitry waited for the nobles to look at the Dragonborn for a long time. The nobles, who finally regained their senses at his words, went back to their seats with embarrassed faces and cleared their throats. And they all looked at him with curious faces. About the identity of this dragonborn. And about the real reason for convening this meeting. And Dmitry looked at the nobles who were listening to him seriously for the first time in his life and said with a strange smile. You may be curious, but I got this dragon bone by chance through a group of adventurers. As for the circumstances... Dmitry briefly talked about the deal with GM. The nobles who heard his story all eximed in admiration. This enormous item was simply handed over with immunity and right of delivery...? haha..... No matter how stolen it may be, this is as good as free... Prince Dmitri seems to have excellent skills. Although he did it himself, the Duke of Diern credited Dmitri for his work and quickly changed his bully-like image into a resourceful one. He secretlyughed at the aristocratic mood changing favorably. Now I have a chance.....'' Prince Dmitry Il, who had been distant from the position of emperor. But this time, the Duke of Diern was going to take full initiative. While fulfilling a long-cherished dream and long-held dream that the Empire had tried before but failed repeatedly. Therefore, I ask everyone gathered here. Let''s use this dragon bone to achieve a long-cherished wish that we have not been able to do so far. If it''s a long-cherished wish...? Now what is that...? The aristocrats questioned with a curious expression. Looking at them like that, Dmitri smiled broadly and said. Continent conquest. Dmitry created a mess by dropping a rice cake like a nuclear bomb called continental conquest into the conference hall. That''s how they started a fierce argument with no concessions. People don''t even think they''ve seen dragons, but with that, they''re going to conquer the continent or not. Chapter 211 Chapter 211 Fall of the Empire (2) The Harmel Empire dominates the eastern part of the 2nd continent of Arcadia. At the conference where the aristocrats who support this huge empire gathered in one ce, a fierce debate continued to take ce. Continent conquest! What the hell are you talking about! The time hase for our empire to finally fulfill its long-cherished wish. How can one who does not take risks get glory? Radicals who want to start a war, and moderates who say what kind of bullshit that is. The nobles, who had been divided between Prince Dmitry and Prince Vines, opposed each other''s opinions with usible reasons. It is to fulfill the long-cherished wish of unifying the continent that Emperor Wilhelm Crouch, the founder of our empire, wanted to achieve. I don''t know what''s wrong with trying to do what our ancestors couldn''t do. Do you refuse to exalt the honor and glory of the Empire? The Harmel Empire dreamed of unifying the continent in the past. However, the strong Bamal Empire, built in the cold of the northern cold, stood in the way. It''s not like that! No matter how valuable the Dragonborn is, the Barmal Empire is not a ce that can be touched so hastily. If an attack fails to bring them down, they will fight back again and again, targeting the heart of the Empire. Not to mention losing influence over all but a few southern kingdoms! The Barmal Empire, the eternal rival of the Harmel Empire and a thorn in the eye. The reason they were able to hold the Harmel Empire''s leash and make a strong check was none other than the Great Forest Amil region located right next to the Harmel Empire. No matter how much Elves have started interacting with humans in the Amil area, they still reject those who do not ept their permission. Not to mention the dangerous poisonous insects and monsters scattered around. Like it or not, in order to advance to the center of the continent, you have no choice but to go through the territory of the Bamal Empire, but you cannot break the peace that has been maintained for a long time with hasty judgment. The damage to the empire if this n fails is too great. The Harmel Empire had to maintain a strategic friendly rtionship with the Barmal Empire because of its geopolitical location. Prince Vines vehemently opposed the ims of Prince Dmitry''s faction because he did not want a catastrophic event in which all economic and political channels stretching across the continent were blocked at once after proceeding with only uncertain possibilities. . Your Majesty, please stop this crazy n. This is not the glory and revival of the empire, but the downfall and ruin. Please, I beg you to reconsider this matter with your wise wisdom. Vines bowed his head and asked the Emperor. However, Dmitri muttered while looking at him with contempt. He must be afraid to go to the battlefield because of the war. A cowardly bastard. Dmitri speaks to himself in a loud voice as if to be heard. Hearing his words, Vines looked at him with an angry, hostile look and tried to argue. What are you saying right now...! But before he could finish his words, Dmitri exuded a strong force. Are you unaware of how many benefits and glory our Harmel Empire has been robbed by the Bamal Empire in the fear that the road to the continent might be blocked? Even if they insulted and ridiculed us as cowards, we had no choice but to remain silent no matter what kind of humiliation we suffered. Because I was engulfed in fear and anxiety without ever having fought properly. Countless various wars of nerves that took ce in the past with the Barmal Empire. However, there were many times when they backed down without saying a word of regret to those who were always holding on to their lives, so the eyes of the nobles began to change little by little at Dmitri''s words. Then he took out an antique scroll from his bosom and started a counterattack. Last night, I secretly received an answer from the 5th Mage Tower. You will stand by us in exchange for the dragon bones. Five magic towers that exert a strong influence on the entire continent. At the word that all of them had turned to their side, exmations of astonishment were heard from all over the conference hall. All of the 5 5 Magic Towers...? How can it be...they always stick to neutrality and only seek profit...? Dragonborn... was that enough...? It was an unusual situation where not only one specific magic tower, but all the magic towers that dominated the continent stood on one side. Excluding the attack of Argamer, the ck magician who led the Legion of Death in the past, it was the first time this had happened, so everyone''s eyes began to look in amazement. Along with that, I summoned the best artisans of the empire and ordered them to secretly process the dragon bones. I haven''t figured out the exact processing method yet... but since the Mage Tower dispatched excellent mages, I''ll figure out how to smelt it soon. Then, under the full support of the Empire, we will create powerful weapons that have never existed before. That''s like that... The nobles opened their eyes wide and opened their mouths as if they were so surprised that they lost their words. Looking at them like that, Dmitri asked with a funny expression. Have you guys thought about it? What will happen if hundreds of powerful weapons like the proud treasure of our empire, Excalibur'', are created? ..... His question fell into silence in the conference room. The aristocrats who had been vehemently against it until recently. However, they seemed to be in trouble with strange expressions on their faces. Calmly and prudently, Dmitri started pounding furiously on the calctor in his head about the chances of sess for his dream n and the benefits it would bring to them and the empire. And the Duke of Diern, who noticed just by looking in the eyes that the nobles had almost crossed over, looked at the emperor and said, Your Majesty, in the past we have been working hard to weaken the influence of the Barmal Empire. However, the n that Prince Vines had conceived was recently turned into a nk te by adventurers. Not only did the Maroon Kingdom lose all influence, but the war with the Paquel Kingdom, a powerful ally of the Barmal Empire, was also in vain. The Harmel Empire has been working for a long time by handing over enormous goods and interests to the Duke of Bergen in the Maroon Kingdom. However, the situation of the Maroon Kingdom began to return urgently due to the absurd death of the Duke of Bergen and the Holy Empire that started rampaging right before the start of the uprising. The Duke of Diern spoke to the emperor, citing the painful failure of a mediocre adventurer to be the king of a country for the first time and be a duck egg in the Nakdonggang River without even finding the end result. We need to move before the Barmal Empire tightens our throat any more. Our empire has no tiles left. As Chancellor of the great Harmel Empire, Duke of Diern de Carfloss, I hereby officially dere that I support the will of Prince Dmitri. Official deration of support for Prince Dmitry. The first person who did it was the Chancellor of the Empire and in charge of all internal affairs, so the aftermath was enormous beyond imagination. As the lord of the Karkin domain of the vast Harmel Empire, the Marquis of Kybel von Arbenian, I support the will of Prince Dmitry... Count Baimir de Buddyvi... Carme Yes bazaar..... Starting with the Duke of Diern, the nobles jumped up from their seats and began to dere their support for Dmitri. Watching them rise from their seats like dominoes, Viness couldn''t hide her bewilderment. Oh no! What are you doing now! Seeing that most of the nobles who had sworn allegiance to him were among the nobles who dered support, he shouted as if he couldn''t believe the current situation. These traitors! How dare you... how dare you turn around like this with me in front of you! Prince Vinesse Lee loses his temper and runs wild in front of nobles who are trying hard not to make eye contact with him. Seeing him lose hisposure in front of the emperor and go on a rampage, talking about betrayal, Duke Myers lowered his head in despair. Everything is over.....'' Vines, who worked in the Maroon Kingdom and worked hard to attack the Bamal Empire for a long time. However, in a situation where that effort had recently been in vain, there was no convincing way to thwart Prince Dmitri''s ns. However, the presence of the Dragonborn is too strong to encourage fear and carefully create an atmosphere with only the anxiety. As with the previous logic, talking about the failure of the n and its dangers would now only insult the power and honor of the empire, so Duke Myers had no choice but to admit Prince Vines'' defeat. Everyone be quiet. cooong. The emperor of the Harmel Empire, whose disease is evident. However, when he opened his mouth for the first time, a great sense of intimidation and silence lingered in the meeting room. Looking at the situation, it seems that a decision has been made. More than 70% of the people in the conference room are standing up and giving support to Dmitri. The rest of them were also watching Prince Viennes with anxious eyes, but they seemed to be contemting whether or not something would happen. Since he had ruled this empire for decades, it was easier than breathing to read the current situation in the meeting room. Dmitry. Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. Dmitry bowed his head and bowed his head at the emperor''s call. The emperor looked at him with an expressionless face and asked softly. Do you know what a huge impact the n you are trying to have on our empire? I know enough, Your Majesty the Emperor. Dmitri looked up and looked straight into the Emperor''s eyes with eyes burning with conviction and confidence. The emperor, who stared nkly into his eyes, looked around the conference hall as if he had made up his mind on something. As the emperor of the great Harmel Empire, Imand everyone. As of this time, the Harmel Empire enters an emergency wartime system and temporarily delegates all military authority to Prince Dmitry Il. Entering the exhibition system. delegation of military authority. Everyone in the conference room looked serious, as no one was stupid enough to not understand what it meant. Focus on finding and eliminating the Bamal Empire''s kin in all provinces and cities, and prepare wartime materials and troops. Also... An order given to all nobles by the emperor''s authority that continues after that. The emperor, who temporarily limited the rights and interests of the nobles for the sake of the war and gave Prince Dmitri power and authority, looked at Dmitri and gave a word that sounded like a warning as well as a request. I hope that the decision you made will increase the glory of the empire, Prince. If not, this will be yourst. After saying that, the emperor walked out of the meeting room. It was Dmitri who spoke first in the conference hall, where silence lingered for a long time after he left. The nobles of the proud and great Harmel Empire. Whoops. For many years, we have been insulted by the mean and greedy Barmal Empire. Dmitri started talking to the nobles with a strong sense of intimidation. By recounting all the diplomatic humiliations and insults he suffered from them, he irritated all the nobles. And when their anger was ripe, he said. The Harmel Empire is strong and strong, so in the face of our attack, the cowardly and vicious will fall, and we will give them a fair judgment and show the entire continent the wrath of the empire. Raise your sword. Chunk. After the emperor leaves. He even performed a performance of pulling out the sword brought by the attendant and proimed it. I will nt the g of the Harmel Empire all over this continent. A war against the Barmal Empire and the entire continent. And at that moment, a new scenario was renewed at the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. [The main scenario has been created.] [Act. Four Continental War] And the staff who saw it all cried out in despair. Quaaaaa! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck! I will not! don''t do it! I will write a resignation letter! I''d rather kill it! I can''t do it! It was the scenery of the Korean branch, which always spends a peaceful life. Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Fall of the Empire (3) Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Employees, who always lead a funpany life, like riding a roller coaster with big events, were again screaming silently amidst the endless bombardment of work. Haa..... I''m really going to die..... After the meeting, another meeting. To do some personal business, then another emergency meeting. When the hell are you going to do your job? Is the meeting a problem... I want to go home. Recently, I thought it was a little quiet, but... Crisis management and response team, who are on standby 24 hours a day when a major incident urs, and must take the lead in all situations in real time. They monitored the main areas of the two continents of Arcadia and themunity of Arpendia in real time and poured outints. Act. 4 Rani. does that make sense? Other branches are now acting. 1 is at the end, so what did we do? Is it already the 4th main scenario? If the game went normally as nned, the first main scenario should have entered the final chapter by now and the second scenario should have been prepared. However, due to variables that no one expected, the Korean continent was in a deformed state of leading. Even if the pace is fast, its too fast. Headquarters, which just let this go on, was really shot in the head. What the hell are you thinking about? From what I''ve heard, the boss is secretly enjoying the current situation... Huh? What do you mean? Ah, that''s right. A guy I know in the secretary''s office told me about it, but I overheard a conversation between the boss and Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon before... Rumors spreading secretly within thepany. It was the story that President Lee Mi-yeon was deliberately ignoring and promoting the situation on the Korean continent, which was heading towards the end. lets think. No matter how much it is, is it possible to just watch the slime destroy the beginner vige in real time from the beginning of the opening? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon begged me to stop that much, but the boss said he didnt blink an eye. really....? Besides, that''s not all. During the witch hunt in the past, how bloody did you fight each other because you temporarily removed the death penalty for evil users? Isn''t it the boss who just put napalm on the roaring fire instead of spraying it with a fire extinguisher? Wow..... that''s what the boss himself ordered...? Does that make sense... So I mean! Sometimes, the boss doesn''t run thepany, but it seems like he''s just thinking about how to make the game taste good... Employees whispered rumors about the president. However, after the meeting, when they found General Manager Kang Tae-hoon entering the office, they went back to their seats in amazement. ruler. Gather for a moment. Director Kang Tae-hoon came after the meeting. At his words, the employees of the Crisis Management and Response Team huddled together with curious faces and poured out questions to General Manager Kang Tae-hoon. What is the main scenario this time, manager? As the name suggests, is a continental war going on? Are you going to work overtime for a month again this time? Employees who were only informed of the creation of the main scenario but could not read detailed information. However, just looking at the name of the scenario, an ominous smell pierced their nostrils, so their faces were filled with anxiety that they could not hide. And looking at those employees, Manager Kang Tae-hoon opened his mouth with a dark face. I think it would be fortunate if I ended up working overtime for a month... Yeah...? What is that...? There hasnt been much change in Arfandias user response or monitoring in major areas, so what the hell is going on...? Crisis management response team mobilizing all surveince assets against all kingdoms and empires on the continent. There was no bloodshed caught on their surveincework yet, so when Director Kang Tae-hoon said that the situation was serious, everyone''s faces were clearly embarrassed. cooong. First of all... the relevant data has been extracted, so check it out. It''s a confidential document, so keep it secure. One hundred words are not enough. Director Kang Tae-hun puts a thick bundle of documents on the table as if to read it himself. Employees scrambled to read rted materials, and soon their pupils began to tremble. What is this? The Dragonborn heist case...? ah! This is what was recently posted on Arpendia! Is it the top of the GM...? They said they robbed it there, but why is this rted to the main scenario... such crazy... Employees started to figure out how the main scenario urred while reading the report in real time. And they couldn''t help but be astonished to see the results created bybining independent incidents like a puzzle that were split apart one by one. First of all, do you all remember the war that almost broke out between the Maroon Kingdom and the Pakel Kingdom? It was the starting point of the witch hunt and the first case in which the GM Group directly intervened in the war. Since it was such a famous incident, all the employees nodded their heads in unison to General Manager Kang Tae-hoon''s question. That war was led by Prince Vines of the Harmel Empire from behind. He was nning to attack the Paquel Kingdom, a powerful ally of the Barmal Empire, weaken its influence and be the next emperor of the Harmel Empire. However, the n prepared over a long period of time copsed in vain due to the sudden death of the Duke of Bergen and the rampage of the Holy Empire. And as a result, Vines, who failed to solidify the position of the next sessor, had to allow Dmitri a chance to counterattack. Prince Dmitri insisted on conquering the continent to the emperor and all nobles, and the Harmel Empire, which epted the im, is preparing for a war to conquer the entire continent, starting with the Bamal Empire...? okay. The reason that im worked is because of the huge amount of dragon bones that GM''spany donated... That was the most decisive. Dragon Bone. GM top. Prince Dmitry Il. Faced with the huge consequences of this fantasticbination, the Crisis Management Response Team staff, after a brief stutter, started pouring out all sorts of curse words. Damn it..... Why do these crazy bastards from the GM Merchants make this sadal by taking it to the Harmel Empire? These bastards made all sorts of issues before and got scolded for it, but they still havente to their senses. Chief, cant I be sanctioned for this? I just want to hit it forever. These XXXX and XXXX bastards! Did I get dumped by my girlfriend for these GM bastards...? Ha... The employees who finally identified the main culprit who created all sorts of family discord and danger in the love front. The time when their hostility is piercing the sky. Director Kang Tae-hoon looked at them all with a slightly bitter expression and said. Once the situation has broken out, there is nothing we can do about it, so lets try to finish this matter as smoothly as possible. Since the Harmel Empire and the Bamal Empire are going to be the central stages of this scenario, start focusing on user trends and monitoring, and report any abnormalities immediately. And... The happy peace of the crisis management and response team was shattered in an instant, and they returned to their original daily routine of overtime and work. It''s because of GM. * * * The Korean branch detects an anomaly in the Harmel Empire and begins preparing a response. A message also came to Jae-young, who is a victim of this incident and also a key figure. [A new mission has been created.] [Please check the rted information.] It''s been a while. Huh? What''s been a long time? Nothing. A new mission that flew to Jaeyoung. Since it was the best way to obtain probability, he opened the shiny mission window and confirmed its contents. And his expression, which had been grinning, quickly changed to absurd as he read the contents slowly. Eh....? [Mission. 6] The dragon bone that was robbed absurdly. But the thing ended up in the wrong hands? The Harmel Empire is preparing to unify the continent using the stolen dragon bones. Stop their ns and get back the stolen Cervenian skull. Only in a peaceful way! -Get Kervenian''s skull back (0/1) < You cannot engage in directbat during the mission. > A newly created mission. The content was simple and clear, but the context waspletely missing, so Jaeyoung could only picture the situation in his head after reading it over and over again. You mean the Harmel Empire swallowed my skull...? The Harmel Empire? Did they sell the lizard head there? Tan asks with a curious face as if he can''t stand his curiosity. At his words, Jaeyoung nodded. Perhaps it is? The mighty Harmel Empire dominates the eastern part of the continent. No matter how valuable the dragon bones were, a single user could not fight against a huge empire that could not bepared to that of GM. For that reason, it was a situation where ordinary users had no choice but to go from chasing chickens to looking at the roof of a dog, but not to Jaeyoung. Hehe..... Interesting situation will happen again? Tan smiled broadly with an excited expression and twinkling eyes. I asked quietly, hoping that Jaeyoung would y the game again. To deal with the Empire, you need a quantity war? I know of a few guys who are well suited forrge-scale battles like this. How can I... rmend something? Tan, who seems to be full of thoughts to suck on probabilities with strong body. Jaeyoung shook his head at him who couldn''t control his excitement with greedy eyes. No, I wont use the strong god this time. Eh....? Master, what the hell are you talking about? Tan asks what that means. However, even if he wanted to use the spirit, the phrase at the end of the mission was restricting Jae-young from using the way he had solved problems so far. < You cannot engage in directbat during the mission. > What the hell are you thinking...?'' A developer who once told me to mess with the whole game by doing all sorts of things, and now try to solve the problem peacefully. It was absurd for Jae-young to act like this and that, but he couldn''t change the contents of the mission that had already been created. This time we''re going to solve the problem without fighting. You''re not fighting...? The owner...? Tan asked back, looking at him with eyes full of disbelief, as if he was asking what kind of nonsense he was talking about. However, at his words, L smiled and said with sparkling eyes. Good idea! Problems can''t always be solved destructively. Are you determined to resolve it peacefully? That is a touching moment for me as a guardian angel. L looks at Jaeyoung with a look full of goodwill while holding his hands together as if he was thrilled at a moment he had never expected. Looking at her with disgusted eyes, Tan shouted. What are you talking about, you damn chicken! If you solve it peacefully, you won''t be able to extract probability from the owner! shut up! Is probability important now? pug. evil! This is real...! Tan and El''s fight started again with El''s first bread. Seeing the two of them suddenly start tapping, Jaeyoung missed the timing to tell L. I said I wouldn''t fight directly''. I didn''t say it was a peaceful way. Chapter 213 Chapter 213 Fall of the Empire (4) The Harmel Empire decides to conquer the continent. Their attack began faster than expected, perhaps because they were concerned that information would be leaked from spies hiding throughout the empire. All attack! That enemy! emergency! Kwaaang. Kybel is a border area between the Harmel and Bamal Empires and a transportation hub that leads to the entire continent. Elise announced to all users on the continent that Kybel''s citadel was helplessly upied by them due to a surprise attack by the elite troops of the Harmel Empire. [The main scenario has started.] [Act. 4 Continental War] [The quest has been created. Please check the rted information.] Eh? what? The main scenario...? also....? Users who enjoyed ying as usual. They couldn''t hide their uneasiness at the notification of the main scenario that came without any warning or warning. Ah, how long has it been since the main scenario came out, are you fucking fucking again? Continental War...? What else are you going to mess with? Korean users who already have several burn experiences under the name of the main scenario. For that reason, they checked the contents of the created quest with a suspicious eye on the unusual main scenario from the title. The Harmel Empire... and the Bamal Empire? Are you two fighting? suddenly? why not....? The Harmel Empire and the Barmal Empire, which form the most powerful forces on the second continent of Arcadia. It''s not a good rtionship, but there wasn''t such a big discord, so users who enjoyed ying back and forth between the two empires tilted their heads at the sudden war. [Act. War of the 4 Continents] The Harmel Empire had the ambition to conquer the entire continent for a long time. They revealed their ambitions and made a surprise attack on their strong adversary, the Barmal Empire. A continent in turmoil. Whose side will you fight for glory and honor? -You can choose between the Bamal Empire and the Harmel Empire to fight. -When the selected faction wins, you can receive rewards ording to your contribution. - You may receive a penalty when the selected faction is defeated. < Time left until camp selection: 2 days, 23 hours, 45 minutes, 24 seconds..... > Can I choose a camp between the Bamal Empire and the Harmel Empire...? Hmm...Which is more advantageous? Main scenario already started. Whatever the reason, it was time to move in order to earn their own money in a huge quest that had an impact on the entire continent. Users gathered information while contemting which camp to choose between the two empires. The ce they naturally headed to was none other than Arpendia. -Where are you going, the Bamal Empire or the Harmel Empire? -No, what kind of thinking do gamepanies keep doing main scenarios like this? -But why are the two of you fighting all of a sudden? Users who can''t catch the right direction because there is no rted information. But suddenly, at some point, simr types of posts andments began pouring in as a group. - The Harmel Empire is advantageous. A surprise attack annihtes the main forces of the Bamal Empire. -?? what else do you mean? - It is unconditionally the Harmel Empire. Guys, quickly choose the Harmel Empire and run. Contribution is also good. -If you choose the Bamal Empire and lose, you have to quit the game because the death penalty falls. be careful. - It is said that the emperor of the Bamal Empire was assassinated. Don''t see blood because you took the wrong side for nothing. -??? what kind of bullshit is that Arpendia is tainted with all sorts of rumors, agitation and fabrications. Many users began to fall into confusion as the number of articles siding with the Harmel Empire increased too much. -What is the real advantage of the Harmel Empire? -You can''t change the faction on this, are you sure? Users who don''t want to blow up the entire event with just one wrong mistake. when they are watching The judges of therge guilds of the 2nd continent of Arpendia officially dered their participation in the war. [We decided to proceed with this main scenario in the camp of the Harmel Empire. I had a conversation with the War Officer of the Harmel Empire, and he promised to give me a privilege to be awarded even the title of nobility of the Empire depending on my contribution. So.....] -??? title of nobility? -Is that real? Information flowed from the Judgment Guild. The ears of the guild leaders of many medium andrge guilds began to flutter furiously at the story that they could be granted noble titles. You mean you can be awarded a title of nobility... you mean you can also acquire a territory...? The worldview of Arcadia, which is the social structure of the feudal system. No matter how powerful a guild might be in this world, which flows into a strict ss society, it was impossible to obtain a territory unless the guild leader was an aristocrat. Unless it''s a special case like the ck me Dragon of Darkness, no one has a noble title at all. Ha... How do you get a title of nobility? Is there a separate quest like that? I have to look good to the king, but how easy is that? No matter how much the kingdom quest is performed, there is no clue about the title of nobility. However, as soon as the information about being able to receive the title of nobility leaked out publicly for the first time, numerous guilds scattered across the continent began to scramble. [Our Doenjang Mejuya'' guild decided to participate in the battle in the camp of the Harmel Empire following the main scenario. Therefore, I hope that all guild members will immediately select a camp and assemble, and through this quest.....] [ Go out and eat lunch'' guild is the Harmel Empire...] [p Kimchi'' guild... ..] All kinds of guilds are scrambling to choose the camp of the Harmel Empire in this main scenario and participate in the battle en masse. And at the same time, the top of GM started to put forward an unprecedented event. A special discount is provided to those who choose the Harmel Empire! 30% potion type! Gear is 10% off! Cheap cheap! Participate as the camp of the Harmel Empire and make your contributions quickly! A situation that seduces people by giving ridiculous benefits to users of the Harmel Empire camp. As all of this worked in tandem, users'' faction selection began to skew out of control. -Harmel Empire: 77%. -Bamal Empire: 23%. Most of those who chose the camp were biased towards the Harmel Empire. As the general users who saw it also began to choose a more advantageous camp, the counterweight that had been broken once began to lean more and more towards the Harmel Empire. And the one smiling while watching it was none other than Jegyu, the head of the upper division of GM. Cheuk ..... hahahahaha. You look in good spirits. Jegyuughs alone for a long time. And the secretary of the training who looks at him with a proud face and smiles. The two toasted as they congratted themselves on how wise their choices had been. Gheuk... that dragon bone triggers the main scenario. It waspletely unexpected, but it was a really lucky opportunity for us. That''s right. It seems that the Duke of Diern or Prince Dmitri has put quite a bit of faith in our ranks. Oh, you worked hard this day. Did you make sure you did one thing? A secretary who strategically gathered yers by posting propaganda articles in Arfandia and attracting high-profile guilds to the side of the Harmel Empire. Jaegyu smiled as if he was satisfied with his work and gave him apliment after a long time. I had done something simr before when I was working in the secretarys office, so it wasnt too difficult. okay....? Somehow, it didnt seem like the first time I had done it. The assistant secretary, who had done things like maniption of public opinion several times while working in the GM Group secretary''s office, changed the topic with a strangely bitter expression at Jegyu''s words. Rather than that... the whereabouts of that user called Dex are still unknown. Person of interest to be most careful in the current situation. The original owner of the dragon skull they had stolen and who had already dealt fatal blows to the GM group several times. Dragon yer Dex. Also, since we don''t know what''s going on behind the scenes, the entire top of GM was trying their best to keep an eye on the movement of the top of the pi and find a user named Dex, but no movement was detected. What are you going to do in this situation? Most of the users are already on the side of the Harmel Empire, and the Mage Tower and the main mercenaries are all hired by the Harmel Empire in advance. Since the market has already be overwhelmingly advantageous, it is not a situation that a single user can do anything, no matter how strong it is. Jegyu knew that the dragon''s skull belonged to Dex. That''s why he entrusted himself to the Harmel Empire to dispose of it as quickly as possible, and as a result, he gained the trust of the Empire and the GM Corps entered under their shadow, so he put all his concerns down now. Now, if the Harmel Empire begins to destroy the Barmal Empire and take over the entire continent as nned, that user named Dex will have no choice. No matter how strong you are, one user can''t fight against the entire continent, can you? No matter how strong one is, one individual cannot fight against an entire mighty empire. That''s why Jaegyu said with greedy eyes and a smirk. Now neither he nor the top of the pie can touch us. No, no user would dare to touch the top of the GM. Regardless of how ugly, nasty, or dirty the methods are, Jagyu knows that sess is the only thing that counts. Intoxicated with a sense of victory, he let his imagination run wild when the situation turned out to be more advantageous than he had nned. The Harmel Empire''s upation of the continent and the GM''s upper ranks, making huge profits under them. And a beautiful future in which he regains the recognition of Chairman Choi Chun-sik through enormous profits and proudly returns to thepetition to be his sessor. * * * Hmm... It''s been noisy again. Tan, who was following Jaeyoung somewhere while Jegyu let his imagination run wild, muttered something interesting with his ears pricked up. Master, there''s amotion up there. Can I not go? The northern and eastern regions of the continent were noisy with battles taking ce here and there. Users also gathered inrge numbers to participate in the main scenario, and asked Jaeyoung, who was heading to the Maroon Kingdom, which had be quiet for a moment, looking at Tan with an iprehensible look. Why am I going there? Are you going to settle the matter peacefully? No, so! The GM corps or whatever is in the Harmel Empire. But why are youing to Maroon Kingdom? The GM guild moved their base from Maroon Kingdom a long time ago. There are small branches, but they are just a shell, so Tan''s face is full of questions. I have someone to meet. Who should I meet...? Oh, there is something like that. So please follow me quietly. Jae-Young, with a frown on his face full of annoyance, moves forward. Tan, who looked at him as he silently walked ahead with a strange look, shrugged his shoulders and nced at El, who said he didn''t even know, and grumbled and pped his wings. I don''t know why you''re doing useless things when it''sfortable to just wipe out everything with the spirit. Tan constantly grumbles at the thought of wasting time without being able to make any money. However, when he saw the signboard of the building where Jaeyoung stopped, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief and muttered. uh....? Master, what is that...? Could it be that... is that what Im seeing right now? Dont ask when you know. I''m annoyed too. ...Even the name is a creepy group. right? Do you think I want to burn everything without a trace? Jaeyoung nodded in deep sympathy with El''s muttering in a contemptuous tone. He hesitated for a long time to see if his feet wouldn''t let go even after he had already arrived at his destination, but as if he had made up his mind, he grabbed the doorknob of the building. profit. Jaeyoung entered the building like that. The building with the door firmly closed after he entered it was showing off its majesty in the capital square of the Maroon Kingdom, with its signboard shining in ck as usual. [What color are Dex''s panties?] Chapter 214 Chapter 214 Fall of the Empire (5) Maroon Kingdom ruled by the Dark me Dragon. Thanks to the geographical advantage of being located in the central part of the continent, many pro-adventurer policies, and people who flocked to the superrge event of witch hunting, an unusuallyrge number of users settled here. Oh, what kind of building is it so expensive to get? Buying a guild hideout building is almost equivalent to the real house price? Its because there are a lot of people. I heard that in the past, it was only about the price of a used car. really? Wow.....then the person who bought the building at that time was a superstar? If so, how many of the users would have bought the building? Merchants or well-known guild leaders must have bought some. Anyway... If I had known this ce would turn out like this, I would have bought it in advance. I settled in the Maroon Kingdom from the beginning... Ugh. An area where real estate investment is hot in the game and users'' interest has reached its peak. As much as it was the Maroon Kingdom, which was bing a core area for adventurers, more guilds and upper guilds naturally began to build nests here. And among those groups was a guild that had recently achieved the proud feat of being number one in the guild rankings. [What color is Dex''s panties?] No deck fan. It was absurd that such a monstrous guild, whose name would even be embroiled in a legalwsuit, even existed, but what was even more absurd was that this group of damned sex addicts overtook all the famous flying and crawling guilds and ranked 1st in the overall guild rankings on two continents. that the above has been achieved. -Deck Fan Dance'' guild overall ranking achieved 1st ce! - Reached 1,000,000 guild members within 3 months of establishment. Achieve an unprecedented record! -The topical guild Deck Fan Mu''. The secret of their poprity is because of their name...? Those who have excessive interest in and affection for Dex. That affection turned into a frightening obsession, and most of them were men, so it was creepy to Jae-young, but their poprity was undeniably hot. - Arcadia Special. ck men''s briefs are selling like hot cakes. -Consumers crazy about ck? The underwear industry''s trend ck''. The guild members of Dex Fenmu who wipe out all the stock as well as the paralysis of the sales site in an instant. Because of them, the pantypany was screaming in joy, but Jaeyoung, who was reading these articles in real life, felt like hitting the ground and wailing. Those who have grown into a huge organization that even makes one trend. Of course, it was true that it was a group of people who were extremely sympathetic to him, but since they were perverts who were twisted out of control and could not be rehabilitated, Jae-young''s footsteps could not easily fall. No, there is an item I got while hunting this time, right? But at first nce, it looks like a clue connected to the hidden quest, but I can''t understand it. So now I''m looking for people... I''m looking for people to go raid. Wee, priest. Guild Engineering Team 125! There is one vacancy this time. Looking for someone to join. As a 120+ dealer! An ordinary appearance simr to any other guild office. It was full of people huddled here and there, having conversations, exchanging information, or gathering people to run dungeons or raids. What''s more normal than I thought? I know....? what? What on earth did they imagine? Tan and L muttering while tilting their heads at the ordinary appearance that shows a scenery simr to any other mercenary office. Leaving the two behind, Jaeyoung approached a female user who looked like a receptionist helping with reception. Hey... Are you here to join the guild? She asks questions before talking. When asked if he would like to join a guild with such an outrageous name, Jaeyoung shook his head firmly. no. I didn''te here to sign up, but I wanted to meet and talk with the guild leader here. Is it possible? A user who makes apletely different request than usual. At Jaeyoung''s words, she fumbled through some papers and stopped moving. Are you the guild leader? What story are you talking about? It''s hard to talk about here... um... let''s just say it''s important. The guide carefully looked at Jae-young, who spared his words, with suspicious eyes. After a moment, she opened her mouth. Could you please disclose your nickname first? I think that would be a bit difficult when everything is private. Oh, I forgot to change the setting. Yes... Wait a minute. At the receptionist''s words, Jaeyoung moves her finger in the air and adjusts the privacy settings. And soon after seeing the nickname floating above his head, her eyes widened as if they were going to pop out. Cho... Choco Pie Joe...? Could it be... that channel...? Choco Pie Joe. Known as the owner of the Arfandia channel, which is a daily life of destroyers, and a real friend of Dex, whom they are enthusiastic about. After seeing the nickname, the guide could understand why his face looked so familiar. And at the girl with rabbit eyes, Jaeyoung smiled broadly and asked. Can I talk to the guild leader now? * * * Arthur, the founder of the Deck Fan Mu Guild. An ardent follower of Dex, he rushed as soon as he heard the report, excited by the fact that Dex''s aide hade to him. Nice to meet you! Choco Pie! Ah..... yes... A snort exhaled, unable to control the excitement on his flushed face. Jaeyoung was a little taken aback by the way he greeted him too much, but the female yer following him evoked the atmosphere. First, lets go to a quiet ce and talk. Because there are too many people here. Oh right! Please follow us for now. Arthur guided him to his office on the top floor of the building. He sat down with an expression of curiosity and excitement and poured out his story. ha ha ha. This is my first time meeting Dex-sama in person. I''m sorry if you felt offended below. I''ve been watching Choco Paijoa''s videos from beginning to end with great interest. I was going to visit you once and ask you to bridge the bridge with Dex, but I didn''t expect you to visit me first like this. ha ha ha. Hahahahahaha..... Arthur pours out his words with a smile on his face. Tan and L said one word at a time with a straight face, saying Ah..... This is a bit...'' at his creepy behavior, which felt beyond joy and even madness. What is the owner? I guess it just tasted right? You seem to be the head of a creepy group. It looks like it needs to be cleaned up. The red-haired woman who was watching the situation carefully next to Arthur opened her mouth for the first time. I will apologize instead. Our guild leader is so nervous that he''s losing his mind. hey! Who is not insane! Arthur protested in a fit of rage when he said he was insane, but she chewed the words lightly and introduced herself for the first time. This is Ignis, the deputy guild leader of Deck Fan Dance. Nod. She seems a bit more normal than Arthur. Jaeyoung responded by nodding her head at her greeting, and Ignis asked with a sharp look. So... why did Dex''s friend visit us? I know you''ve been avoiding us until now. Deck Fanmu, who traveled all over the continent in search of Dex. Since she had been regrly listening to reports of rted content from her subordinate guild members, she noticed that she was suspicious when someone she thought would nevere back to them on her own appeared. And at her reaction, Jaeyoung nodded as if he understood. I have a request for you. Please... is this? Do you know why this newly created main scenario happened? ...roughly. War between the Barmal Empire and the Harmel Empire. It was a huge event that couldpletely overturn the entire continent, so there was no way that arge guild like Deck Fan Mu would not have analyzed the aftermath. Ignis frowned at Jaeyoung''s question and started talking about the subject. The skull of Kervenian obtained by GM. I don''t know if it was idental or intentional, but it seems that the item was handed over to the Harmel Empire. As a result, the battle for the throne between the two princes was triggered, and eventually the ridiculous idea of conquering the continent was passed. Information that does not exist in Arpendia. Knowing all the secret political conflicts within the Harmel Empire that even Jae-Young, which has not yet been revealed to the public, she was surprisingly urately analyzing this situation. The situation itself is going in favor of the Harmel Empire. The Mage Towers became crazy about the Dragonborn and all stuck to the side of the Harmel Empire, even major mercenary guilds andrge guilds. The Harmel Empire had gathered all the NPCs and yers who wanted to fight in advance. Because of this, the Barmal Empire was unable to replenish its power in a short period of time, so it was helpless and suffered tremendous damage. May I ask what you n to do with deck fan dance? The Harmel Empire''s promise of huge rewards and GM''s aggressive offer of appeasement regardless of reality and game. Large guilds on the side of the Harmel Empire had already gone over to these things, but the deck fan club hadn''t decided on any route yet. [Time left until faction selection: 8 hours 24 minutes 12 seconds.....] Now, even with less than 8 hours left to choose, the deck fan has not made a decision. And through Ignis, Jaeyoung could hear the reason that many people are curious about. I dont like either of them. I don''t like it... I don''t like it...? The Bamal Empire has no chance of winning. Unlike the Harmel Empire, which was thoroughly prepared in advance, it was attacked and suffered enormous damage, and also lost its geographical strategic points. The other countries that were promised the Dragonborn also remained silent and sided with the Harmel Empire, and all users of the Mercenary Guild, including the Mage Tower, went over to Harmel. No matter how you look at it, the victory of the Harmel Empire is overwhelmingly predicted. Since the bnce weight was tilting uncontrobly to one side, no one would choose the Barmal Empire if they had even a little bit ofmon sense. You don''t have to hold on to the kite that has fallen off the string, and you can''t ride the Harmel Empire''s route, right? Whatever it is, in the end, they are thieves who gulp down the reward from the dragon that Dex-sama had worked so hard to catch? No matter how good the reward was, the Harmel Empire stuck with GM and fucked Jaeyoung. It would have been a huge crime like sphemy to Dex, who is like faith, but the Harmel Empire was far beyond what a single guild could do, so there was nothing they could do. It''s just that I don''t take anyone''s side and just stand by the sidelines of this main scenario. is it so....? At Ignis'' words, Jae-young fell in love with them for the first time. He looked at Ignis and Arthur and then asked in a low voice. Then, if the side of the Bamal Empire asks you to destroy the Harmel Empire, are you willing to do so? yes....? What do you mean? It is literally. Let''s fuck all the Harmel Empire and the GM Merchant, who are attached to them, as Deckpanmu is greedy to conquer the entire continent on the side of the Bamal Empire. Deck Fan Mu has a huge guild member exceeding 1 million. If they joined the Barmal Empire, it was a proposal that could reverse this unfavorable situation a little, but Ignis frowned and shook his head as if it was absolutely impossible. That is nonsense. When the situation is so unfavorable, there is no need to choose the opposite side and suffer a penalty. It would be a better choice to just let this scenario go by without doing anything. is that so? Yeah... that''s hard no matter how you look at it. It is beyond what we can do. She was about to reject Jae-young''s proposal without further consideration, but stopped talking as she slowly brought her hand to her face and watched Jae-young take off something. And the mask in his hand and apletely different face. And as he watched the text appearing above his head change, he shouted with a stunned face. Uh how... how could this be... Wait a minute... are you all...? A nickname thates out clearly no matter how you look at it. [Dex] Jaeyoung asked, looking at Arthur and Ignis, who looked as if they couldn''t believe that the person they had always dreamed of and anxiously visited was in front of them. Cant you really? Chapter 215 Chapter 215 Fall of the Empire (6) What color are Dex''s panties? Jae-young, who never wanted to open his hands, finally came to the guild. However, the people he saw for the first time were truly ordinary ordinary people. Who''s going hunting? I think I''ll be able to do it in 3 hours today. Hey, did you see the guild notice? The 24th raid engineering corps was vacant. They say theyre recruiting more? what? That''s where the aces gather. Hiya... It''s easy to clear dungeons there. We have a friendly meeting today. If you would like to participate, please let us know in advance. Finding party members to hunt and organizing a raid raid to catch dungeons or boss monsters. Hidden Quest People who sell their feet to get rare items. It was full of scenes that you would only see in other guilds where you could make friends and enjoy your own y. Of course, the scale was far beyond imagination to the extent that the jaw dropped. The number of official guild members is 1,092,421. A staggering number that has not been achieved by any other game in history. Considering that the guild ranked second in the rankings had just passed 10,000 guild members, it was an absurd figure. And it was no exaggeration to say that such an unprecedentedly huge organization could run smoothly thanks to Arthur and Ignis'' excellent management and operational skills. [Deck Fan Mu is a guild that advocates free y. It doesn''t matter what you do together, but all ill-mannered and malicious y that damages Dex-sama''s image is prohibited.] [ Act so as not to be ashamed of the name Deck Fan.] [For those who know what Dex-nim''s underwear brand is , We will give you a reward in the dimension.] Even the name of the guild is abnormal. However, when a person with excellent management skills managed it with excessive care, it became not just a meme that was just a fad for a moment, but a really well-run organization. And beyond that, Deck Fan Mu has grown to such an extent that even its existence itself cannot be ignored and has be a force in the second continent, so Jae-young has said something to these two from before. To be honest, I am very impressed. I knew this guild was huge, but I didn''t expect it to be this huge. Jaeyoungmented that the number of perverts obsessed with the color of his underwear had exceeded 1 million, and was sarcastic in a thorny tone, but Arthur and Ignis looked dazed as if they were shocked, as if they couldn''t hear him at all. He looked up at Jaejoong''s face and muttered. Choco Pie Joa...was Dex? I cant believe it..... So, until now...? The two of them had been lying down for a long time, asking Dex to be brought from the Destroyer''s daily life channel. After the Jukchang War, they were two full of evil fans who openly searched for Dex and even made a chase team to chase after them, so the moment they realized that this was the reality in their heads, they started to show explosive reactions. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa It''s Dex! Really! Dex! Dex Niyi! Ignis squealed with a high-pitched, high-pitched scream. Where did that cold-heartedness go before? A teenage girl screamed as if she had met an idol she was fangirling with, and Arthur mmed her torso with her bulky body and hugged Jaeyoung. Do you remember me? yes? You saved me from Fijima Online in the past! Aaaaaaaaa! To meet you in person! this is a dream! No, it shouldn''t be a dream! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Dex! Please give me his autograph... no, can''t you give me your contact information in real life? yes? The two of them run into Jaeyoung without even giving a chance to speak. And seeing Jaeyoung struggling fiercely to get away from them, Tan and L muttered with very subtle expressions. There were more madmen than the owner. Isnt that a maddening obsession beyond liking? Should I save him? I know....? A contractor who seems to be in trouble. The two of them had followed and watched him until now, but the two exchanged nces for a moment as they saw Jaeyoung, who seemed more embarrassed and disgusted than when he fought the dragon. Soon after, he sat down on the desk and quietly watched the scene unfolding in front of his eyes. Do nothing, just be still. * * * After a long period of madness. Arthur and Ignis, who don''t know what to do in front of Jae-young, who is iparably more haggard than before, and Ignis. In the awkward silence, Ignis was the first to speak. Im sorry. Were you surprised? We were so excited that we didn''t even know... Kuhmm..... I''m sorry. ..... Jaeyoung red at the two apologizing and said nothing. At his reaction, the two of them were sweating profusely and couldn''t lift their heads. And after a long awkward confrontation, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh and opened his mouth. Haa... First of all, I came with a certain amount of expectations and determination, so let''s skip this one. I... Really? thank you. If this happens just one more time, I will really disband this guild with my own hands and fold the game, so you know that. A bloody threat to destroy a guild with 1 million subscribers. However, knowing full well that those words were 100% sincere, the two nodded their heads and made a promise. That... of course! I promise! I won''t run again! Please stop ying the game again...! Two people who show a strong reaction saying that it is not as much as that. Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh and asked again, as they promised not to do that again. Then lets get back to the point. Do you think there is a chance of winning the war against the Harmel Empire on the side of the Bamal Empire? Ignis had rejected that request with a single stroke earlier. However, since the person asking the question was none other than Dex, she started thinking about the problem from a more serious and positive perspective than before. I might be able to change the situation to some extent. Only those who have exceeded the minimum level were allowed to join the guild, so 80% of the 1 million formal guild members arebatants who can serve at least one serving. Then... 800,000? yes. That''s enough. ..... The Republic of Korea Army is said to have 600,000, but this ridiculous organization withbatants exceeding that number. Just looking at this gave a rough idea of how crazy this organization was, but what was more terrifying than that was their information power. For now, I will only tell you the facts we have identified. First of all, inside GM Merchant, we know that Kervenian''s skull belongs to Dex. The moment they realized that the item was not at their level, they entrusted themselves to the Harmel Empire. Also, the first prince of the empire, Dmitri, who acquired such a tremendous item, plotted this war to be the sessor of the weakened emperor. From there... Ignis exnation of the situation continued for a long time. Jaeyoung, who had been listening to it silently, was able to fully understand the circumstances inside the Harmel Empire, which he had been assuming as the contents of the mission so far. Their trends and the movement of the top of GM. And all the ns for the future. Wait a minute... but how the hell do you know all this information? Isn''t that the level of information you roughly grasped? It even includes stories from the top of GM and from within the group. The story of Ignis is full of information that is unknown unless you are an insider. Realizing that, Jaeyoung asked with a surprised face, and she said with a strangely deep smile. oh? Didn''t you know? ...? Dex stared nkly with a puzzled face. Ignis said to him. Between the GM upper ranks, the GM group, and even the Harmel Imperial Army. Deck Fans are everywhere and nowhere. At her words, Jaeyoung realized again. Deck fan. Perverts who always cosy as ordinary people and unleash their own ideal sexual desires that no one can tell anyone about. They were going back and forth between the continent of Arcadia and reality, acting as voluntary spies and stealing all the information. Even within the GM Group and GM top. Ugh... At that moment, Jaeyoung, who learned a huge secret he didn''t want to know, trembled and groaned involuntarily. A group of perverts with abnormal sexual desires that are more frightening than you can imagine. The fact that more than 1 million people belong to this group, Jae-young made up his mind once again, thinking about what would happen if his identity was exposed. I''d rather die than have my personal information stolen.'' Jae-young imagined a terrible scene of sexual harassment, where they were forcibly checked to see if their panties were ck. While he shuddered with a pale face, Ignis tilted his head and asked. Where are you sick? You look very unhappy. No... nothing. When Jaeyoung shook his head sparingly, she shrugged her shoulders and continued her story. As a result... the most important point in this war is that it is necessary to turn the public sentiment of other users. Now, most of them do not know that this main scenario was triggered by the looting of the top of GM, and GM is manipting rted information by investing a huge amount of money. We have to stop this first. Users who are already too biased to one side. Jaeyoung nodded in agreement with the words that preventing their influx should be the top priority. That part... Ill take a video and upload it. Jae-Young, who has a huge number of subscribers to the Destroyer''s daily life channel and uses his influence to change public opinion. Ignis said to him with a strange smile as if he was okay. Can you leave that part to us? Eh? that? yes. I dont know anything else, but agitation is my specialty. ..... Jae-young was at a loss for words at her confident attitude to the point of being confused as to whether that was something she was proud of. At his reaction, Ignis assumed it was eptance and said with a face as if he had won a fun toy. Ah, can you participate in the video for a little bit? Then I think the ripple effect will be greater. Well... that doesn''t matter. It wasn''t difficult to have her face briefly reflected in the video, so Jaeyoung readily epted her request. Then Ignis brought up another problem. As for the second problem, this is a bit tricky... but we have to neutralize the Mage Tower, the 5th Mercenary Corps... and the alliances of the various minor kingdoms. To be honest, the current situation is that the Harmel Empire alone is not enough to handle. I can''t afford to block more enemies than that. The Harmel Empire, which seduced all sorts of organizations by using Jae-young''s Dragon Bone as bait, and drew them to its side. It was necessary to sever this chain of interests, which was created with a lot of gold and dragon bones at the fore. The magic towers crazy about Dragonborn cant listen to us... and the mercenaries will refuse because of the penalty issue... and the various minor kingdoms, each of which have been promised the same amount of money, cant just step aside, so we I would have to promisepensation beyond the Harmel Empire''s offer... but it''s realistically impossible. No matter how long the game has been yed, it is a deck fan that has not been established for less than a year. It was close to impossible to give them goods that far exceeded the rewards promised by the empire, which had umted enormous goods for hundreds of years. Except for the existence right in front of my eyes. What is that? yes....? Doesnt that seem easier than the first one? What the hell is that...? As she asked with a puzzled expression, Jaeyoung shouted in a loud voice. hey! Golden Goblin! Whoops. A dimensional door being torn apart in front of his eyes at his cry. And what appeared in front of them was none other than a small yellow goblin. Kiki Kiki Kick! Did you call me, Master! What the hell is this...? Goblin...? Arthur and Ignis alternately look at Jaeyoung and the Golden Goblin with astonished eyes. At the two of them, Jaeyoung said with an evil smile. Let''s try it. What''s better between that damn bastard''s proposal and my proposal? Chapter 216 Chapter 216 Fall of an Empire (7) The official streaming video of the Deck Fan Mu Guild on Arfandia. Unlike the usual videos that are not nutritious, the video uploaded this time was full of great content. [Our Deck Fan Mu Guild thoroughly investigated how the main scenario started and the process. And as a result, we were able to discover a very surprising fact.] Based on the information Jae-young gave us, Deck Fan Mu started collecting rted evidence and data. Here, through the 1 million members of the guild and the followers of Dex, whose scale is impossible to estimate, they clearly showed their potential. everywhere and nowhere. They are truly shadowy beings and non-existent beings. The secret information collection system thates from people spread all over the continent based on enormous human resources was a huge informationwork that no guild or powerful nation could establish. And as a result, they were able to create a very usible and reasonable exposure video in tens of minutes. -Did GM''s upper ranks collude with the Harmel Empire? -DDDD..... So you started a war with the stolen Dragon Bone? -Wow, are these bastards still out of their minds? After being criticized for trying to start a war, what''s this again? -lol. A real war criminalpany. If it was really real, the whole group would have turned to dust. -Oh dear..... Can''t we just y the game normally? If you keep doing anything, it explodes. General users who did not know about the collusion between the GM Merchant Chamber and the Harmel Empire. They already began to resent the fact that the GM, which had a simr military power, became a fuse that sparked another war. -No, it''s good until you ate the top of the pie. But what the fuck is doing with that is war? -Hey you crazy bastards. If you like war that much, go to war with North Korea and try to unify it. - What is your real personality..... DDD. Are they devils who sold their souls for money? People apuding and acknowledging that it was great when they ate the Dragon Bone from the Pie team. However, public opinion quickly turned to the exact opposite on the fact that using it was a war. -Please stop the war now. -Really. No, what the hell is this game without a middle? -The beginner vige was destroyed by the slime. Having a city blown up by a lich, being purified by the Holy Church... and being treated badly by elves and dwarves... Is this a game? Arcadia is so destroyed that there is nothing to say even if it goes to thewsuit after being collectively used by the Consumer Agency. Everything that happened during the year was so chaotic that I wondered if there was no room to enjoy the game peacefully, so the reaction of those who cried for peace was stronger than ever. - We want peace! -PEACE!!! Let''s y the game normally. -Don''t you know the saying don''t hit me even with flowers? - No war! Nonbat jobs are also users! Is itbat only content? uh? Pacifists who are sick of the situation in the chaotic game and shout for peace. When their cries began to gain more strength than ever before, Arthur spoke with a more triumphant face than ever before. [So to punish these people! And for all of us who will suffer from this bloody main scenario, Dex came to our guild in person.] - ??? -What is that now??? - Dex? real dex? A man with a disgruntled face appears in the video when everyone is puzzled. Through the text floating in his head and through the previous videos that he had watched hundreds of times, they were able to recognize that it was the Dex they had been searching for so far. - Dexdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! -ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! -I can''t believe it..... The real Dex came to our guild? -Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!!! finally saw us Dex, who was always consistent and avoided them. Even though the size of the guild has expanded more than ever, the fact that he, who had not paid any attention to them at all, came to them on his own, feeling immense satisfaction and joy more than ever. was polluting the chat window with -brother! brother! Can''t you just show me your panties once? - No, but is it really ck? If you''re human, you can wear red sometimes. - Hello Dex. I am a fan who has been cheering for me for a long time. If you''re not rude, could you tell me the brand of panties you usually wear? Please. -brother! It''s a real request, can''t you do XXXXX and XXXXX and then XXXXXXXXXXXXX? It was full of filthy and filthy content that could have already been overturned and burned if he had been able to check the contents himself, but Jaeyoung, who could not check the contents in real time because it was ryed through Arthur, started talking seriously. . [The Harmel Empire started a war using the Dragon Bone I caught. Although it is a war against the Bamal Empire now, as you know, this war will not end with just the Bamal Empire. From there, the Harmel Empire will spread its ambitions to all continents. As the name of the main scenario suggests, this Dex emphasizes that the entire continent is engulfed in this war and no one can escape its effects. He vehemently shouted peace and addressed the pacifists who were against war. [If you want peace, the Barmal Empire must not be destroyed by the Harmel Empire. If the only counterhorse capable of holding the Harmel Empire in check disappears, they will roam the entire continent more freely than ever before. So... if you haven''t chosen your side yet, please fight on the side of the Bamal Empire. And if you have already chosen the side of the Harmel Empire, please do not participate in the war and give up the main scenario itself. And...] Jaeyoung asked all users not to participate in this main scenario and fight on the side of the Bamal Empire. Then he began to draw the horse, and for a long time his face fluttered and his mouth moved as if he was trying to say something, and then he struggled with a bright smile. [Dear deck fans.... We need your help. I ask you to stand in the vanguard together with me to punish the damned Harmel Empire and the GM Merchant Alliance.] Dex''s request. Having yed an active role in more than 10 years and hundreds of games with his name and reputation, he has never done anything like this before. When someone helped someone, he gave it, but since Dex had never asked for help, the chat window was tinged with madness at his request. -ask....? Did Dex just ask us to...? -Kiaaaaaaang!! Please! - I die! What an industry reward! Isn''t that too much bro? -of course! Trust us! We''ll give you a hard time! Instead, please tell me the brand of panties. -LOL. Really crazy kids. - Only real psychopaths gathered. This is the famous panty camp. A cluttered chat window. Arthur, who felt the need to organize it to some extent while watching it, switched the screen to himself and dered with a spleen face. [Our proud deck fanmu brothers! The time has finallye! To the goddamned GM who robbed Dex''s item! And the moment to bring justice to the greedy empire bastards who disrupt the peace by disturbing the game!] The main scenario begins, and even though famous guilds and small guilds that have never heard of arepeting in the war, they are quietly silent. Deck fan. Arthur said to the over 1 million users and the silent people who followed Dex but did not openly express it. [Let''s go now! these bastards! To show the fear of our deck fan dance!] * * * Deration of participation in the deck fan dance announced in real-time streaming. This video, which was immediately updated on Arpendia after streaming, became a popr video with a huge number of views and rmendations literally in an instant. -Swordsilvercolor!!!!!!!!!! -The deck fan sword is out! Rip your panties and scream! - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! -Ah... I chose the camp of the Harmel Empire. it''s X -I get tired when I get involved with these crazy people... What can I do? - Hey, you perverts, please stay still as you do. Don''t intervene. -Kuhuk..... Since the order has been given. I can''t help it either? A video in which a squishyment battle has begun between those who have already chosen the Harmel camp and the deck fans. Thanks to that, the number of views, which had already risen at a terrifying pace, started a mad runaway, boasting an enormous degree of exposure, and was proudly stuffed in the main Arpandia. And seeing that, Jaegyu poured out his resentment by destroying everything around him. why! why! Those bastards again! In the past, when the revtion video of Gapjil of argepany'' came out in the situation of the top of the pie, those who inflicted tremendous damage by performing brutal terrorism toward the top of GM at the forefront. Starting from attracting scorpion aggro, those who ate taffy in bizarre ways, sabotaging all kinds of business, such as arson terrorism in warehouses and ordering false goods. After a thorough and meticulous investigation, Jaegyu knew that they were rted to that Deck Fan Dance''. However, the frightening fact was that their movements were not carried out under anymand system, but rather stemmed from the sincere and spontaneous actions of each individual. Those who recklessly rush at them regardless of what the damage will be to them. Jae-gyu, aware of the fear of their group, like the zerglings moving in perfect order under the direction of the corps, sensed that things were going strangely at the movements of Jae-young and Deck Fan Mu, who designated themselves as targets and dered intervention. You said that this guy named Dex would never cooperate with Deck Fanmu! Thats right. If you look at the video uploaded by Dex himself before, you can see that the user doesn''t like the guild called Deckfanmura. As far as I know, they don''t have any contact with that guild... Then what is that video! Why are you sitting together like that and dering that you will attack the Harmel Empire! And... how could those bastards have all of our inside information! That''s it... Apparently, there''s a spy inside... A deck fan that is everywhere and nowhere. This Deck Fan Mu, who is hiding one by one regardless of upation or industry, was hiding in the top of GM and the GM Group. And the confidential information and tips they send were included in this exposure video and were openly disclosed to the public. I told you to take care of everything! Are those deckfanmu followers still in ourpany? Why are you allowing those dirty perverts to fuck while taking ourpany sry! Quaang. Bhan Do, please calm down..... Do I look calm now? Also, do you know what will happen if this kind of video is released? It''s obvious that this has be a war crimepany again, and the media will be damned. If that happens, Dad will... Jegyu, who was nervously muttering while imagining the ominous future that would happen to him, couldn''t finish what he was saying. It was because the caller of the cell phone that was ringing on the desk suddenly caught his eye clearly. -President. The cell phone rang loudly as if to answer it immediately. Seeing this, Jegyu muttered with a pale face. What the fuck... Chapter 217 Chapter 217 Fall of the Empire (8) A war broke out between the Bamal Empire and the Harmel Empire. When another huge narrative, the Continental War, began, various media began to talk loudly about it. [I heard that Arcadia started anotherrge-scale quest this time. But... they said it was also a violent and miserable war narrative. I think this is a bit problematic. A subject that should never be taken lightly and made people enjoy it in the form of some kind of entertainment or pastime? It is necessary to nationally regte and prevent such violent content in games that can be used by all ages.] [ As someone who has worked in game development, I really can''t understand thispany. The system in the game is too violent and destructive. What can I say..... The development staff said, How can I get people to curse me?'' Does it feel like worrying? Anyway, it seems like people who are eager to fuck users somehow. Hahaha.] [No matter how much war is a content that attracts people''s attention... But it seems to be too frequent. Especially in the case of Korea, there are too many. Of course, I heard that there is a maliciouspany that promotes war, but I think it''s a problem for gamepanies to just ignore it. Shouldn''t sanctions be necessary for users who y maliciously?] If you want to be an expert who has anything to do with the game, all of them are called together and made to speak one by one. As a result, even among those who did not enjoy Arcadia, there were so many people who did not know about it, and there was a person who felt the most ufortable because of it. [The president directly ordered an investigation into this matter, Chairman.] Ah yes..... yes..... Chairman Choi Chun-sik, looking at the age of 70 lines. Even at business meetings, he was quite old and was treated as an elder, so he did not show a low profile anywhere, but he had no choice but to be small in front of the phone call to himself. [Although the Congress is refusing to introduce the bill with the President, it is not possible to implement an active policy for the virtual reality industry, but the President is very interested in Arcadia.] ..... A president who is fighting a war with all members of the National Assembly. As a result, it was not even possible to prepare a bill for virtual reality, but even in such a situation, it was trying to grow the rted industry more actively than anyone else, so it began to react most sensitively and fiercely to Arcadia being at the center of controversy again. [ording to the secretary''s office, it is said that GM Group''s youngest son took the initiative, but it seems that you did not properly understand the warning we gave youst time.] A surprise all-around tax investigation against GM Group. I didn''t know it at the time, but now Chairman Choi Chun-sik was able to understand from the story flowing from the mouth of the Blue House Chief of Staff. At that time, even though Chairman Choi Chun-sik stepped forward, the pressure from the National Tax Service, which he had a really hard time with, came from an order directly from the president, the most powerful person in Korea. Then then, that''s...? Chairman Choi Chun-sik, who is shocked and unable to even speak properly, as if he understands everything now. He answered in a calm voice, clearing hisplicated mind as quickly as possible. This time... can you tell me I''m really sorry? If you give me a chance to quietly organize things inside the group, I will definitely take care of everything. No amount of money can beat living power. Chairman Choi Chun-sik, who witnessed with his own eyes the copse of various chaebol groups that ruled the business world under the rule of the military regime in the past, fell into the hands of those in power. [Are you sure?] I will arrange everything so that this will not happen again. I promise you. Chairman Choi Chun-sik, whose eyes are full of life, vows to hang the foolish bastard who doesn''t even look like his son right now. The chief secretary, who had been silent for a long time thinking about something in the story of his firm determination, gave him a final warning. [This is thest time, President. Once again, if something unsavory happens inside Arcadia due to the GM Group... At that time, we will directly step forward.] The call ended with that. It was only after the phone was hung up amidst the suffocating tension that President Choi Chun-shik realized that the shirt he was wearing was wet. Then, with a stern face, he gnashed his teeth and muttered. Choi.... Je... Gyu..... This ugly guy is definitely..... He is the blood rtive of Chairman Choi Chun-sik and the youngest son who doesn''t hurt even if you put it in your eyes. Chairman Choi Chun-shik generously forgave his bully-like behavior, but he could not tolerate it this time. A person who jeopardizes the safety of the GM Group, which he has built over his entire life. Chairman Choi Chun-sik ordered it because he could no longer look cute on him who made his heritage and everything that could be called dangerous. Bring that bastard right in front of me. And it doesn''t matter what he did or how much damage he did, so dispose of everything. All without leaving a single one. All right. I will take care of it right away. The secretary''s office of the GM Group started moving busily to carry out his orders. It all happened so secretly and so quickly that you wouldn''t even notice. Both theplete downfall of the fast-growing GM group and the official expungement of the family register of the youngest son of GM Group. * * * War. It is the most tragic scene full of bloody life and death and a desperate fight for survival, but the war in the illusion of Arcadia came to people with a slightly different meaning. For the Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! All charge! Knights wearing fancy armor and charging with huge spears. Huge medieval siege weapons that are crude yet powerful. In addition to the rain of arrows pouring down on a huge scale, and magic pouring down with gorgeous explosions. This war, full of great spectacles like watching a magnificent blockbuster movie that literally makes your heart pound just by looking at it, made the blood of everyone who participated or watched it boil. And those who were roaming this battlefield more diligently than anyone else were the users called adventurers. Oooh! Corsair! Everybody die! You guys! Ax Gongdu'', ranked 12th in the berserker rankings and a member of the Struggle'' guild. He whipped around the two hatchets he was holding in his hands, brutally butchering everything around him andughing heartily. Ha ha ha ha! weak! Weak! [Defeated the Bamal Empire''s spearman.] [Acquired 10 Contribution.] [Killed the Bamal Empire''s shield soldier.] [Acquired 15 Contribution.] [Bamal Empire''s.....] Truly a catching tribe. Pouring contributions and experience points. Seeing the experience bar go up at a speed that is iparable to hunting and hunting for monsters, he murmured with a satisfied smile. This... the efficiency is really no joke. Did you go up level 2 already? A situation that has not been 2 days since I participated in the war. His level, which was 143, was a situation where it was difficult to raise 10% of his experience just by hunting for a full day, but he realized that as he saw the level going up by 1 a day. That war is the fastest way to grow and be stronger than anything else. In addition, if you win the war and get items that are unique or higher through contributions...? Truly awesome. As he imagined the bright and beautiful future that would unfold before his eyes, he let out a madugh while drooling. Hehehehehe... If it goes like this, the rankings will be overturned sooner orter. His ranking currently sits at 12th. However, if I could grow at the current rate, I started to fully activate the happiness circuit, thinking that I could put my name in the ranks of the 10 honorable people within a few days. hey! soldier! What are you doing! Advance quickly! Ax Gongdu is covered in blood and smiling with a goosebumps expression while holding two axes. When one of themander NPCs, who was looking at him with strange eyes, shouted, he fixed the ax again and looked around with greedy eyes. Let''s see..... Who will be the prey for my axe this time... Ax Gongdu started aiming for the NPCs and users of the Bamal Empire who were engaged in a tense battle around them as if they were aiming for prey. And simrly, the soldiers of the Bamal Empire began to fall gray one by one among other predators who were targeting their prey. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu70ssa... I cant believe it... it ended like this... Soon after, the defeat of the Bamal Empire became darker. Wherever that many troops went, they ally down in gray light, and even the few users who helped them all received a death penalty and were restricted from ess, so despair fell on the faces of themanders and the remaining soldiers. Commander Ji, we arepletely surrounded. I can''t believe it... Enemies are stationed on the escape route as well. We cannot retreat! Even in the middle of the battle, the Harmel Empire withdrew its troops separately and blocked the escape route. At that time, when the Bamal Imperial Army, who had beenpletely put on a slope by their thorough preparations, was hesitating. A huge fireball suddenly flew from afar. Kwaaang. It''s an attack! Keuugh..... Who is it! sudden attack. Those who looked back to the ce where the attack hade from were surprised that reinforcements had appeared because they had eliminated all but the Bamal Imperial Army they had surrounded. However, their eyes widened when they saw the majestic people standing in front of them. What the hell is that...! This crazy ..... A huge number of people. Seeing the tens of thousands... no, hundreds of thousands of people filling the high hill like a swarm of ants, the army of the Harmel Empire was astonished. And as if it was a promise, the outfits they were wearing the same shocked them all. What the hell! That! ck... panties...? A piece of ck cloth worn over equipment. I don''t know what the heck it meant, but whatever equipment they were wearing, the ck panties they were wearing on top of them robbed the eyes of all users, including the Harmel Empire. p. And a man who appears to be the head of this mysterious group of perverts (?) wearing ck panties. He drew his sword from its scabbard and shouted, looking down at them all with a more fearsome face than ever. [Deckfanmoo brothers! Are you ready!] [ck!] ....? ...? Those who spit out slogans that are really mind-boggling. Arthur, who led this perverted group, shouted with a more solemn expression than ever before in an atmosphere that became strange enough to make you wonder if it was a fierce battlefield where lives were exchanged just a moment ago. [Let''s show the fear of ck panties! All charge!] [Wow! For ck!] So, Deck Fan Mu made a splendid appearance in the fourth main scenario. As a group (?) of dyssexuals wearing ck panties. In a shocking way that no one will ever forget. Chapter 218 Chapter 218 Flight of Deck Fan Dance (5) Arcadia Korean branch never gets bored due to daily incidents and idents. Director Kang Tae-hun, who leads the crisis management response team, analyzed numerous battlegrounds between the fiercely fighting Barmal Empire and the Harmel Empire by collecting reports from employeesing up in real time. The 3rd Corps of the Harmel Empire has prated Karbel Fortress! The detached troops of the Bamal Empire have ambushed the supply route of the Harmel Empire! Detecting arge-scale gathering of users from the Harmel camp! We are preparing for an all-out assault! . . . Large-scale battles that take ce sporadically in many areas, not in one ce. Director Kang Tae-hoon, who was struggling to gauge the direction of the scenario while mobilizing all his capabilities for monitoring, lowered his head when he saw Executive Director Myung-han Kwon entering the control room. Is the meeting over? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon came after a meeting about the main scenario with the CEO. Looking tired, he nodded his head and asked Manager Kang Tae-hun what he had heard. Anything special? The Harmel Empire Army and the User Alliance have just upied the Fern Fortress of the Bamal Empire. what....? Fern Fortress? Fern Citadel. Thest line of defense andst bastion located on the way to the capital of the Bamal Empire and the imperial castle. The fact that this ce was breached was such a serious matter that it was directly rted to the destruction of the Bamal Empire, so Director Kang Tae-Hoon''s report made him a surprise. The Harmel Empire''s army has already arrived there? How long has the war been going on? It seems that the impact of the initial defense line copsed due to the surprise attack wasrge. In addition, the unexpected variable ofrge-scale participation of users yed arge role, and the Harmel Empire seems to be drawing all its strength as if it were trying to end it quickly. No matter how much it is, it''s only been a week since the war started in earnest... A situation where just a week has passed since the main scenario started. However, the face of the executive director who had already been given the fact that the Barmal Empire, which had already been a rival of the Harmel Empire, was in a crisis, became more serious. This... it might be moreplicated than I thought. That''s right. Looking at the detailed data of this main scenario, their goal is not the Bamal Empire, but the entire continent. The 4th main scenario of the 2nd continent of Arcadia. [Act. The Four Continents War] It was not simply a war between empires, but a war started by those who dreamed of grand and even arrogant dreams of putting the entire continent under the Harmel Empire, so the Bamal Empire was just the beginning. After conquering the Bamal Empire, starting with that, the war will spread to the entire continent like dominoes. A war against those who do not submit under them. Oh no... This is gettingplicated. Other employees did not know, but general manager Kang Tae-hoon and executive director Kwon Myung-han knew. Now is the worst moment for such arge-scale main scenario to happen. [Scheduled update date: 16th 08h 23m 03s.....] Thergest update ever Pangaea. These two people knew that there were only 16 days left before this update, which would unite all the continents of Arcadia, which had been divided into 8 parts and scattered into one, was applied. This reality was just frustrating. The best-case scenario is for the Harmel Empire to be defeated and the war to end as it is now. If the war is longer than this, the Korean continent willterpete in the intercontinentalpetition... Be quiet. The control room where there are too many listeners around even though I want to talk in depth about this issue. Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon carefully covered Manager Kang Tae-Hoon''s whisper and nced around. ...First of all, I fully agree with you. So, at the meeting just now, I fully exined my concerns to the president and suggested that the contents of future updates be disclosed. Is that so? So, what does the boss say... General Manager Kang Tae-hoon is happy to hear that he talked to the boss. So, when General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon asked with bright eyes, What happened? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon said with a confused face. He said he might just leave it alone. yes....? That... they say it will take care of itself if you leave it alone, huh... this is true. I don''t know what he was thinking when he said that... The Bamal Empire is on the brink of destruction, but it''s sorted out on its own. President Lee Mi-yeon, who had a firm mind and directly stated that the main scenario should be stopped seriously, but unlike him, CEO Lee Mi-yeon looked at this work very lightly. However, in the long conversation, it was revealed that she, too, was talking about something with unknown certainty, so Kwon Myeong-han had no choice but to return without any ie. [Do not worry. Even if we don''t step forward, the Harmel Empire will be destroyed on its own. Oh, and the same goes for GM. Since I personally took care of that, GM Group will not be messing around in the game in the future.] President Lee Mi-yeon said, Don''t worry because I personally took care of it. However, looking at the appearance of the Bamal Imperial Army on the verge of being surrounded and annihted by the Harmel Imperial Army and the User Union, it was amanding executive officer who did not seem to be like that at all. And at that moment, they could not close their gaping mouths as they watched the scene unfolding on the monitor screen. Vice manager! That one over there..... That... what are these crazy bastards? Aww! What is that! Crisis management and response team members agitated with bizarre expressions. Among those who were monitoring and shouting about what to do with a face full of disgust, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon clearly saw and listened. A huge crowd of people rushing to the battlefield in ck panties. And their cries, which seemed to be full of terrifying madness. [For ck panties!] * * * The moment when the employees of the Korean branch, including Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, are shocked by the shocking situation that is happening right in front of their eyes. Users who were watching the intense situation of the battlefield, which was being streamed in real time through Arfandia, had a simr reaction. -???? What are those crazy bastards? -Holy Shit WTF is that? -For ck panties...? Are you saying that right now? - Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I actually squirt milk while watching that. -and. Those are really creepy perverts. -Isn''t that enough to say nothing even if you sue? -Rather than that, how many of them are there? awesome really A piece of ck cloth worn over equipment as if it were their symbol. Some on the forearm, some on the chest. Even the ck panties worn on her bottom or head(?) were forcibly stealing everyone''s attention even if she tried not to pay attention. -ck color!!!! -Your chest bes magnificent! DeckFanMoo! -Deck fan sword! Deck fan sword! Deck fan sword! Deck fan sword! -Ah, these psychopaths have invaded again. -Look how dirty the chat window is. Get off to your camp right now. Deck fan dance cheering for them in real time, shouting ck panties. And in this streaming video, where even normal people who hate their perverted sexual desire gathered together, whether they knew the situation outside or not, Deck Fan Mu began to overturn the camp of the Harmel Empire. Ill show you the fear of ck panties! Deck Fan Dance is out! Get out of the way! Kya-ho-ho-oh! die! A charge close to ignorance that doesn''t even exist as a strategy. However, the number was so enormous that it seemed to be hundreds of thousands, so the formation of the Harmel Empire had no choice but to copse. What the hell are those things! Where are all the adventurers...? Ouch! How dare these perverts...! Even the appearance is ridiculous. However, once they entered the battle with their swords facing each other, they realized that they were talented people with powers that could not be ignored. And this was the same for the users who were fighting in the camp of the Harmel Empire. ah! Get off! You perverts! Why are you going to the Bamal Empire to light candles? These crazy bastards are really... where are they going to try? Large guilds that invested heavily in this main scenario. They gnashed their teeth at the fact that thergest deck fan club stood in opposition to them, and that they created huge variables by starting a war they thought they had won. Aim for the leader of those perverts! Arthur and Ignis! Those are the guys in the front over there! Arthur and Ignis, who stand at the forefront and draw tremendous aggro. Hundreds of yers rushed towards the two heads of the madmen wearing these ck panties. However, despite their attacks, Arthur and Ignis remained unconcerned. Ha ha ha ha! Death sword dance! The Kakaga-Gaga River. Arthur wields a huge greatsword with incredible speed and instantly knocks down all enemies around him in a gray light. And Ignis, who walks lightly beside him and pours out ignorant me magic. me Buster. Volcanic Cannon. Fire Wall. Fire. Quaang. The Harmel Empire army and users were astonished at the sight of a gray light defeating hundreds of users and soldiers in an instant with just a few skills and attacks. This crazy... No, what''s the damage? No... Zombie shields die so easily...? Im 5th in the Guardian Ranking...? A job guardian that specializes in showing persistent survivability based on high defense and excellent vitality. Among such guardians, everyone who saw the zombie shield, which was the 5th ranked ranker, copsed after not being able to withstand Ignis'' me magic and Arthur''s sword skill for a while, they were speechless. And whether you know their hearts or not. They were drunk on their own strength and ran amok. Kwaaang. Quaang. An item that Jaeyoung asked for this job and presented to them. It was a legendary item that had never been properly revealed to the world. [Doom Bringer - Legend] A weapon containing the power of a destroyer. It is imbued with dragon bones and powerful magic. Only death and emptiness await those who bear this weapon. -Equipment limit: 130 -Durability: 30000/30000 -Attack power: 1300~1400 -Sword mastery efficiency increased by 80% -Attack power increased by 300% when sword skill is activated -5% chance to ignore physical defense -0.1% chance to summon Doombringer . [Scorching Staff of Deterioration - Legend] The best staff made with Dragon Bone and the highest quality Mana Stone. An advanced magic circuit will be drawn to bring out the user''s magic efficiency beyond the limit. Specializes in fire attribute magic. -Equipment limit: 110 -Durability: 28000/28000 -Attack power: 1100~1300 -Horse power: 480 -Attack power increased by 50% when casting fire property magic -Mana reduction rate 40% -Can use Break the limit'' once a day Kervenian''s treasure Dex carefully selected the most suitable weapons for their level from the warehouse and put them in their hands. Thanks to that, Arthur and Ignis, who provided greater firepower than was known to the world, swept the battlefield with insanebat power. Ha ha ha ha ha! That''s why people are messing around! Ho-ho-ho! I use magic, but my mana doesn''t decrease! Wow! ck panties areing out! Everybody die! Long live the deck fan dance! And the deck fan dances rushing after them, refusing to die, and pushing them with ridiculous tactics. Due to their fantasticbination, the forces of the Harmel Empire began to be pushed back little by little. what! What the hell is this situation! Themander of the Harmel Empire cried out as he watched the situation turn strangely due to a group of perverts (?) suddenly intruding into the battle that had been won. But...despite all their efforts, they had no choice but to hand over Fern Fortress, thest line of defense of the Barmal Empire, to someonepletely unexpected. fluttering ck panties. To a group of crazy, entric people. Chapter 219 Chapter 219 Betrayal of the Magic Tower (1) Ha ha ha ha! Wipe them all out! The Harmel Empire, which was advancing with intense momentum that no one could stop, was heading towards the imperial castle of the Bamal Empire. It was a group of bizarre perverts shouting ck panties that stopped thebined forces of the Harmel Empire and the users, which even the main force of the Bamal Empire, which was rumored to be powerful, could not stop. [ck!!!!!!] It''s not just one or two people, it''s a huge number of people, hundreds of thousands. The jaw-dropping massive man-made tactics and the best fighters withbat power that could not be ignored were gathered, so they had no choice but to make a painful retreat with victory on the verge of victory. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... retreat! All retreat! In the end, themander of the Harmel Empire gives the order to retreat because he can no longer bear the loss of the main force, which is falling down one by one. At hismand, the allied user army gnashed their teeth as they gave up further advances and began to retreat one by one. You... you fucking perverts! Why are you sprinkling ashes on the finished rice? You guys are doing this on purpose! A coalition of users who fought hard on the side of the Harmel Empire. Among them, there were some who participated as individuals, but most of them belonged to famousrge guilds that many people had heard of at least once, so their hostility was inevitably stronger. Ah-oh! Ive worked hard to umte contributions, but its annoying! You perverted stalkers, I really wont let you go if the main scenario is twisted because of you. Anyway, these crazy bastards... Users retreated along with the retreating Harmel Empire, pouring out all sorts of curse words and threats. As the tide began to retreat faster than when it was advancing, the inside of the fort became so quiet that it was unbelievable that a fierce battle had just been fought in a tense atmosphere. I can''t believe it... And Marquis Nigel, themander of the Fern Fortress, was looking at the scene with round eyes as if his eyes would fall out as if he couldn''t believe it. He was deeply grateful to these unknown adventurers who had suddenly appeared and saved everyone, including himself, from a desperate crisis. Not all adventurers were dogs of the Harmel Empire...'' All the adventurers he saw were the ones who became the Harmel Empire''s henchmen and drew their swords toward the Bamal Empire, so this amazing thing that saved them Looking at Sue''s adventurers, he opened his mouth with a face full of emotion. Thank you so much, all of you... But... the deck fans cheering and shouting that they won among themselves, as if they couldnt hear him. Hearing their chants, Nigel''s face began to contort into an indescribable expression. I won it! Long live the deck fan dance! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! Kyahoooooooooo! Those who waved their ck panties one by one and screamed with a look overflowing with madness. Marquis Nigel couldn''t believe what he had witnessed in a crowd of sex addicts who couldn''t find a normal person. Chiyiyi profit. Tear your panties and shoot them! Gum sucks! People tearing their panties here and there, shouting ck, waving torn pieces of cloth here and there, howling. Seeing that, Marquis Nigel muttered with a white face. This crazy ..... Marquis Nigel, who had been looking at them as the saviors of the Bamal Empire until just now. But now, looking at this scene, he thought. Perhaps the people who now seized the Fern Fortress were madmen who could not even bepared with the Harmel Empire in a different sense. Several messages appeared in front of Arthur, the leader of the deck fan club, whether he knew Marquis Nigel''s feelings or not. [The Fern Fortress was sessfully defended from the Harmel Empire.] [The Bamal Empire asked, What color are Dex''s panties?'' I express my deep gratitude to the guild.] [The gap between the Barmal Empire and the Harmel Empire has exceeded the standard.] [The strategic key point has been sessfully defended.] [The contribution reward will increase significantly.] [Guild contribution 1000000 has been obtained.] [When the Bamal Empire''s faction wins, you can requestpensation ording to your contribution.] [The title Guardian of the ck Panties has been acquired.] A tremendous contribution obtained from the Bamal Empire along with a monstrous title. This alone was a jaw-dropping reward, but more than that, he felt greater joy in the fact that he and Dex, the idol of Deck Fan Mu, were perfectly fulfilling the request. Deck Fan Mu! Deck Fan Mu! Deck Fan Mu! Deck Fan Mu! Hundreds of thousands of people shouting the name of the guild in session, probably feeling the same way as he did. Looking down at them, Arthur exchanged a curious look with Ignis and raised the sword in his hand high into the sky. Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A touching and heart-rending scene of heroes appearing in desperate moments and defeating enemies. However, those who watched all of these scenes on TV spoke of their emotions to the wave of ck panties that shattered them to pieces. - Wow..... Really..... - Aren''t those just crazy bastards? * * * While Deck Fanmu ran to the front line for the Bamal Empire andmitted an atrocity that would be embarrassing to even mention (?), Jaeyoung, along with Tan and El, remained in the Maroon Kingdom and enjoyed the leisure time for the first time in a long time. Hmm? Is this restaurant pretty good? A luxurious restaurant located in the royal castle of Maroon Kingdom. Jaeyoung, who visited on the rmendation of Apple and tasted the food for the first time, praised the food with his eyes wide open at the food that tasted better than expected. And in front of Jaeyoung, Apple nodded while cutting the steak. of course. It''s expensive, but the chef here says it''s in the middle of the continent for cooking. The food buff effect is also amazing. Food buffs determined by the ingredients and perfection of the food. As Jaeyoung put thest remaining piece of lobster into his mouth, he looked at the message appearing in front of him curiously and mumbled. [I ate grilled Skywind Lobster.] [The best taste I''ve ever tasted!] [Satiation increases to maximum.] [Strength increases by 5%.] [Stamina increases by 10%.] [Stamina decrease rate decreases . Decreases.] It is a food full of buff effects like honey that lowers the rate of decrease in stamina, strength and stamina. Jaeyoung murmured in interest as even the increase in ability level was so high that it could not be ignored. Hmm... It''s worth eating just for the simple taste, but if it''s buffed like this... it''ll sell like crazy, right? A buff that you must eat when preparing for important battles or raids. But Apple shook its head as if it wasn''t necessarily so. Um... not really. is it so? why? First of all, the buff duration of cooking is too short. No matter how long it is, it is within 2 hours. Even if you usually start after eating before the battle starts, the duration ends before reaching the dungeon boss or raid boss. is that so? yes. Moreover, it is so fresh that it is impossible to eat itter. If you eat it right before the boss battle, the buff effect will probably be reduced by more than half. Besides, the price is also expensive, so it''s impossible to eat just about anything. A dish with extremely low cost-effectiveness. Even for the food Jaeyoung just ate, the price written on the menu board was 3 gold and 24 silver, so considering the real market price, I was able to realize how expensive the food he ate was. Hmm... It seems like a lot more money than I thought, right? Jaeyoung doesn''t have to worry about money anymore. However, it was true that it was too expensive for a single meal, so I frowned, but Apple shrugged and said. That''s why I''ve only been here a few times. The main customers of this restaurant are high-ranking nobles and imperial officials. They usuallye a lot when entertaining. From misceneous tableware to the interior of dining chairs and even the staff. All luxurious and splendid restaurants. Considering that it is a top-notch restaurant, Jae-young could understand the price tag of his parents'' visit to the United States. What is it? Why are you guys here? No, what is this situation! Wasnt that an offer just for us? That time when I was looking around the restaurant step by step. Jaeyoung saw a group of people wandering around in amazement from afar and said, Ah, the guests are here. yes? is it so? Apple, startled by Jaeyoung''s words, looked around. And soon, seeing Lemon waving urgently among them in the distance, calling for help, he hurriedly ran and talked to a group of people. Then, with strange expressions, they approached Jaeyoung''s table and sat down. What are you doing now? I thought you called because there was something urgently important to discuss, but it seems it wasn''t just for our Blue Mage Tower. I don''t know what Apple and Lemon said to lure them in, but he seems to think they''ve tricked him, so he reveals his displeasure. And it was the same for others. ck-p... Judging from the situation, it looks like he said the same thing to all the 5 Mage Towers. What are you going to do by calling all of us together? Are you trying to scorn us for one top topic? The 5 Magical Towers that exert enormous influence on the entire continent. Since they were sorcerers with arrogance and pride that pierced the sky, the reason why not only themselves but also the people of the other towers gathered together was ufortable was that everyone felt the same way. Please, I hope it is an important business that will bring us all together. Otherwise, the top of the pie will turn the entire Mage Tower into an enemy. The atmosphere is getting more and more heinous. At the words of the wizard of the ck Mage Tower, who gave off a warning with a cold chill, Apple and Lemon looked desperately at Jae-young, asking them to do something quickly. And then he opened his mouth for the first time and spoke. The top of the pie has nothing to do with this incident, so leave it alone. Those two did nothing but faithfully gather all of you together as I asked. The wizards turned their heads at Jaeyoung''s words. Different emotions bloomed on their faces. Curiosity, anger, curiosity. Who are you? Are you the one who summoned us? A mysterious uninvited guest that I have never seen before, unlike Apple and Lemon, who have been known for their regr transactions. However, at Jaeyoung''s words, their expressions changed moment by moment. I heard you made an interesting deal with the Harmel Empire in exchange for my dragon bones? I don''t know if you know if it''s stolen or not, but it''s not very pleasant to see people ying drums and drums with other people''s things. What... what? The owner of the dragon bone...? The Dragonborn of the Harmel Empire, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stirred up all the mages. The amount was also positive, but because it was the skull of a red dragon that was estimated to be higher than that of an ancient dragon, the wizards of the Mage Tower, who had their eyes turned, looked again at this mysterious adventurer who imed to be the real owner of the object. And Jaeyoung said to those who looked at him with strange eyes. I say it straight-forward. Please help me get my stuff back. I don''t care if you steal it or bring it by destroying the Harmel Empire. Just bring it in front of me in its original state. Ha... Are you saying we''re going to wage a war against the Harmel Empire? What the hell is that...! gibberish! Whoever the real owner is, the Harmel Empire has already promised to distribute the Dragon Bones. Even if it is a stolen item, as long as the contract has already beenpleted, the item is ours... The wizards rise up in unison at Jae-young''s request. However, Jaeyoung took out something with a rxed face and put it on the table. Instead, I will give this as a reward to the Mage Tower who brings the Dragon Bone. This is...? I can''t believe it..... Where the hell did thise from... [Chapter 18: Frozen Tempest] [Chapter 18: Volcanic Disruption] Two antique books ced on the table by Jaeyoung. Seeing the title clearly engraved on the leather cover and the intense magic flowing naturally from within, they froze in shock as if they had promised. A magic tower full of madmen who would even sacrifice their souls for magic. Jaeyoung, who showed the two 8th circle magic books that were buried in Cervenian''sir in front of them, said with an evil smile. So... Does anyone want to have the Circle 8 spell book? Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Betrayal of the Mage Tower (2) Magic that uses mana to shake thews of the natural world and realize one''s will in the world. It was none other than the transcendence dragon that first created this kind of magic. A long time ago, magic that was said to be the exclusive property of dragons was passed on to other races, including humans. The concept of magic, which they spread to the world while enjoying y, changed over time through numerous studies and improvements to suit humans, and was able to develop into its current state. Magic that has been modified and developed over many years into a version of humans by humans, only for humans. However, unlike dragons, which have insight into theplexws and cycles of Mother Nature that far exceed human intelligence, humans'' magic has literally reached its limit. Even if it has developed that much, it''s still focused onpletely insignificant low-level magic. Didn''t high-ranking magic dare to touch it, and there wasn''t much progress in the knowledge derived from those lizards? It can''t be helped. Unlike low-circle magic, in the case of high-ranking magic, there is a high risk of suffering life-or-death damage even with a simple experiment failure. From Circle 1 to Circle 4, which is an area that humans could touch... No, in the case of geniuses from the sky who were born very asionally, they could touch and improve even Circle 5, but there was no such case from magic beyond Circle 6. . That''s why wizards aren''t crazy about high-level magic. Because they don''t have the ability to create high-level magic, there''s no way to learn other than the magic books released by the lizards. Arcadia''s system where there is no big problem with the low circle, but the difficulty of learning increases exponentially as the level goes up. While listening to the story of Tan and L, Jaeyoung could understand why ying as a wizard was so hard and why the difficulty of acquiring magic books became extremely high from the 5th circle onwards. So those wizards just wentpletely blind? Jaeyoung took out two magic books. Dozens of books of each type were stuck in Kervenian''s rares, so I took them out without much thought, but the ripples were greater than I could have imagined. [We will bring the dragon''s skull back in its entirety! Please wait a little bit!] All of the casually thrownments were different, but anyway, the wizards of the 5th Mage Tower told me not to worry and just wait because they will bring it. Jaeyoung was confused for a moment at the excessive reaction of rushing out of the restaurant without eating, but thanks to Tan and L''s exnation, he was able to understand their reaction a little bit. What was it that was so valuable? I didn''t expect it to be like this. Jaeyoung grumbled at the thought that the reward was too excessive, as he saw the 5 Magic Towers rushing forward to give up Dragonborn and betray the Harmel Empire, one of the superpowers in the entire continent. of course. I don''t know until the 7th circle, but from the 8th circle the magic ispletely different. I''ve only heard of this kind of disaster-level magic, but I''m sure it never spilled over to humans. okay....? Then what was Merlin? At Ls words, Jaeyoung recalled the 8th circle magic he used himself in the past. Poseia, a fortress that boasted a strong and huge iron fortress that would not copse even after thousands of years. The 8th circle magic that swallowed up the fortress, which was the pride of the Shoen Empire and the core of its maritime power. Tidal Wave. Jaeyoung was able to cast this because the hero of the past called Merlin, who was none other than a human, knew the magic, so Jaeyoung asked with a curious face. Then El responded with a smile. That case is a little special. Merlin is the apprentice who was raised by the Dragon Lord of that time. what....? Lizards are like that sometimes, the owner. Taking a human or a different race you like, kidnapping it, raising it as a disciple or something, using it as an attendant, or watching and ying with it. The bad taste of dragons who catch people who are on the verge of dying in crisis or who are frustrated due tock of talent, treat them, and grant them transcendental power beyond the limit, and then watch the humans do something. Of course, it would be a rare opportunity for the person involved, but since the intention was purely for their fun, Tan''s face was dissatisfied. Anyway, they''re real bullies. Well, even if we just want to share a little strength with humans, we need a lot of probability, so we babble, but damn lizards throw whatever they like and go around doing all kinds of fuss... Because they belong to different realms That''s it, you stupid bastard. Shut up, chicken wings. Still, unfair is unfair. Tan and L try to fight again. However, Jaeyoung didn''t say anything, just smiled and turned his head away. hey....? Are you both okay? Jae-young, who was unable to pay attention to Apple and Lemon while listening to what Tan and L were talking about. However, I don''t know when it started, but when he saw the two of them sitting with their mouths open in a daze,pletely lost in their bewilderment, Jaeyoung asked with a puzzled look. Why is there a problem? Apple and lemonpletely frozen as if time had stopped. The two of them looked as if they were in shock, as if they had made a promise. Circle 8...? I can''t believe it..... Apple and Lemon ying as merchants. That''s why the two of them knew better than anyone else the value of the magic book that Jaeyoung casually took out. And I was astonished. That kind of thing is handed over just for the sake of the Dragon Bone...?'' Even if there was only one book, the entire continent would be turned upside down, but even two books...?'' An 8th circle magic book that has never been officially revealed. Perhaps even with the magic book that Jaeyoung brought out, there were many countries or groups that would go to war with their eyes turned over, so Apple and Lemon said that Dragonborn was precious, but they couldn''t understand Jaeyoung''s behavior of offering such a ridiculous exchange price. Wait a minute..... But where the hell did these thingse from...? no way....?'' Isn''t it? It won''t be.....'' As they thought about it, an assumption passed through Apple and Lemon''s heads. Red Dragon Kervenian. An old dragon-ss dragon and a transcendent species with tremendous fighting power that no one can match. Although it was a trick, Dex managed to kill such an ignorant opponent with a bamboo spear. The thought that even the developers did something unexpected, and the reward received by Dex would not have been only'' a dragon''s skull. Hey... Mr. Dex. So, Apple gulped and asked Jaeyoung with a nervous face. Ho, by any chance, the reward you got from killing Cervenian... isnt that all? A question asked out of curiosity and half anticipation. At Apple''s question, he asked back with a wicked grin. well? What do you think? * * * GM Group. Construction, e-insurance, finance, food distribution..... All of them have grown into one of the conglomerates supporting the economy of Korea through aggressive and octopus-like expansion. [Korea''s economy is heavily influenced by a small number of chaebolpanies. Of course, in the case of Ajin Group, it would be an exemry example of giving back to society and contributing a lot to social cirction and contribution throughrge-scale employment policies, but there are many cases where this is not the case, so this economic structure eventually bes a problem.] Compared to Azin Group , The GM group always listens to all the swear words. It wasn''t usually a very good image, but the reason why their image broke through the floor and fell into the basement was because of the top of GM. [Well, let''s leave aside issues such as handing over the supply of the agency or shing the unit price of partnerpanies. No matter how much it is a game, is it insane that a famouspany instigates a war and tries to make a profit through it? ] No matter how muchpetition is content, they don''t hesitate to terrorizepetitors. Would it be different in reality?] An act of inciting war in the Maroon Kingdom. And the power struggle towards the top of the pie. Those two incidents alone dealt a blow to GM Group''s image. But even so, the top of GM was fine. Because the owner of the top was also the youngest son, the sore finger of Chairman Choi Chun-shik, and he was earning a lot of gold no matter what the process was. They did not receive support from the GM group, but they managed to survive. But... Quaang. The door opened violently and people in suits rushed in. The employees at the top of GM were shocked and shouted at the sight of them suddenly appearing and forcibly shutting down Dreamer''s device. What is this? Stop right now. Who is it! What are you guys doing here right now! uh? Lord of the four tops! Lord of the top! People who do their job in silence despite the staff''s dissuade. Not long after, Jegyu came out of an office and shouted. What are you guys up to! What are you doing? Won''t you stop right now? As soon as he came out, Jegyu yelled at him to stop with a flushed face. However, he spat out curse words at the behavior of those who were recklessly moving important documents and equipment while ignoring his words. These bastards... hey! Quaang. Jegyu violently kicked the desk in front of him. As a result, oneputer body was scattered on the floor and was terribly broken with a loud sound. And at that moment, the heavy voice of a middle-aged man came to Jegyu''s ears. Be careful what you do, young man. Everything here is the property of the GM Group. If you damage it again, we have no choice but to take action. Jaegyu turned around at the voice. And when he recognized who was standing in front of him, he shouted with his eyes wide open. Non-chief secretary? Why are you here...? no wait. Then all these people here right now...? The strategic secretary office that is directly under Chairman Choi Chun-shik''s bodyguard and oversees the entire GM group. Jae-gyu suddenly realized the situation he was in, and his face twisted horribly at the fact that the head of the secretary, who was in charge of the ce and received orders from Chairman Choi Chun-sik, came to visit him. Is this what the president ordered you to do? That''s right. The chief of staff gave a brief answer to Jegyu''s question, nodding his head as if he had noticed what Jegyu''s question was. However, as if he didn''t understand why he made such a decision, Jaegyu shook his head as if he couldn''t understand. The president and I speak directly. For now, please go back. Im sorry, but I dont think that will work, young man. The instructions I have been given are firm. Fuck! You said I''d talk! Quaang. Jegyu shouts, overturning a desk again, as if he couldn''t hold back his anger. However, unlike him who was excited, the chief of staff looked at him with a pitying gaze. And he spoke to Jegyu in a calmer and calmer voice than ever before. No matter what you do, you should have kept the line that the young master can handle. This one has crossed the line. what....? What the hell are you talking about? Jae-gyu felt confused when the chief of staff said that what he had done in the game had something to do with Chairman Choi Chun-shik''s decision. The control of public opinion was perfect, and it passed without even bing an issue to the extent that it was iparable to the previous one. Since he even took the lead in the main scenario, there were a lot of flower paths ahead, but Jae-gyu couldn''t understand his words that he had crossed the line. For details, talk directly to the president. pull it out. Hey... Hey! won''t you let this go? This bastard... Hey! hey! At the words of the chief of staff, Jae-gyu is dragged somewhere with both arms grabbed by the staff in the secretary''s office. Fear was seen on the faces of the employees who watched him from behind as he struggled to resist somehow, but was eventually dragged out of the office. cooong. The office door closes tightly as he exits. And the chief of staff looked around at the existing staff who remained inside and said. You have to help us do one thing. A job...? Don''t be too anxious. It won''t be that difficult. Employees puzzled when told they have a job to do. With a kind smile towards them, the chief secretary dered to everyone. From now on, dispose of all assets in the game by any means possible. Leave no traces of the so-called GM corps, and everything. That is the end of GM. Chapter 221 Chapter 221 Betrayal of the Magic Tower (3) Prince Dmitri of the Harmel Empire. Although he was born as the first child and a direct descendant of the present emperor, he was born with the qualities of a tyrant and has not been recognized by the emperor since he was young. [If Dmitri bes emperor, the empire will be stained with blood. It is clear that he will reign over everyone, force only obedience, and cause the fall of the empire.] A violent and extreme temper that he has shown since childhood. Looking at his childhood where he did not hesitate to use violence against an attendant he did not like, the emperor spoke like a habit. And since Dmitri knew the emperor''s thoughts very well, he thought of taking this opportunity to show it proudly. His warlike andbative nature. His own desire full of uncontroble conquest and ambition. To destroy the Barmal Empire, the old enemy of the Harmel Empire, and to make the entire continent kneel under the banner of the Harmel Empire, so that the empire''s glory and honor would shine more brilliantly than ever before. And he tried to tell the emperor he was wrong. I came not with the fall of the empire, but with the glory of the empire. But... his n, which he thought was perfect, began to crack little by little. I''m in big trouble, Prince! What''s going on? Dmitri was plotting an operation n topletely end the Barmal Empire with themanders. He asked with a contorted face as he saw an officer who suddenly entered the barracks with a contemtive face. That''s that... The nameless officer who couldn''t even connect the words properly. Dmitri urged him in a tone full of annoyance at his frustrated behavior. I hope it was serious enough to disrupt the operations meeting. If not, you will have to pay for this disrespect. Dmitry speaks with bleak eyes shining. As soon as he revealed his unique tyrannical temper without adding or subtracting, the atmosphere in the barracks instantly became chilly. And with everyone''s eyes focused, the officer stuttered and reported the news he had just received with a tense face. The capture of Fern Fortress... has failed. what....? What do you mean by that! Huh ..... The Fern Fortress, which had been reported to be on the verge of upation. The news that the castle gate was destroyed and all the remnants inside it was being finalized was thest report, so they were confident of victory and heated up. Reports say that a huge number of adventurers have appeared and started siding with the Bamal Empire. It is said that the scale alone numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and that the force was not to be taken lightly. Also... Deck Fan Mu made a splendid appearance sprinkling ashes on the finished rice. Themanders who listened to the officer exining the battle situation with them in detail soon asked with puzzled expressions. Wait a minute, what were those adventurers wearing? These are ck panties. Rather than wearing it... It is said that it was worn here and there. It is presumed to be a symbol of their own. ck... panties are the symbol...? Have you ever imagined I mean hundreds of thousands of adventurers charging at the enemy camp, fluttering ck panties in a fierce battlefield where livese and go. Themanders were talking about something with a look of confusion, perhaps because it was a scene that could not be easily imagined. Dmitri, who was watching the scene in the barracks, which quickly became noisy because everyone was talking in unison, not just one person, hit the table with his fist. Cant you all keep your mouth shut! Quaang. ..... His shouting made the barracks instantly quiet. Dmitri twitched with a thoughtful look on his face, then looked at one of the officers standing there with a tense face and said: You there! Go right now and bring GM Sang Sangju. GM... you mean the top? Don''t adventurers know the things of adventurers best? If it''s a huge scale of hundreds of thousands, there''s no way they wouldn''t know. Find it right away and bring it to me. I see! An officer rushes out of the barracks in a hurry. ring at his back, Dmitri gritted his teeth and muttered, his eyes full of life shining. Fucking bastards. The adventurers boasted that they would take care of it themselves, so you don''t have to worry about it, so why are you fucking me like this? GM Sang Sangju assured that there would be almost no adventurers who sided with the Bamal Empire. However, contrary to expectations, he failed to capture thest remaining defense line of the Bamal Empire, so Dmitri was going to hold him ountable. I... the prince. Dmitri was thinking in his mind about how to punish the wrongdoer. He asked, looking at the Duke of Diern, who was talking to him cautiously. Why? They say that the capture of Fern Fortress has failed... What should we do? Fern Fortress, thest line of defense and the only route to the imperial castle, the capital of the Bamal Empire. The fact that they couldn''t prate that ce was a story that the advance, which had been driven to the brink of copse, would now change into a long-term siege. I cant. The destruction of the Bamal Empire is not the end of the war, but only the beginning. Dmitri has no intention of retreating to the Barmal Empire alone. So, since the beginning of the war, he had no desire to procrastinate, so he ordered hismanders to do it. Concentrate all the firepower of the high-ranking mages dispatched from the Mage Tower. Even if it meanspletely erasing Fern Fortress from the map, we will advance through it. yep! All right. Themanders moved the troop models on the table busily at his words. While they were busy revising their n of operation, Dmitri muttered with his burning eyes shining. Where do you keep struggling, you buggers. Ill beat you all up horribly. Dmitri and the Empire of Harmel, who do not seem to have the word defeat'' in their heads. The full support and support of the 5 Magic Towers, which is said to have been only once in history. With their firepower support, they built a powerful magic corps that no country dared to stop, so they did not even think that they would lose this war. Without knowing at all what was going on in the Magic Tower. * * * Arcadia is a world view based on mana. Even when swordsmen strengthen their bodies and form sword skills that cut through everything. Even when wizards manipte thews of nature and artificially manifest their will. Even when summoning contracted spirits and phantom beasts to demonstrate their power. All powers basically required mana, but among them, magic was the most effective and closely rted to mana. [Magicians basically have to have great intelligence and knowledge. They understand thews andws of nature and artificially manipte them to realize what they want in reality. The process is soplex that a criminal would not even dare to attempt it. Besides... it consumes a huge amount of mana.] Beyond the blessing of mana, it is a realm that can only be attempted by those who are so talented that even their brains can hear the sound of a genius. Because that was magic, wizards were rare and important talents everywhere, and they belonged to Arcadia''s profession. And because they were so valuable, they created an organization because of the oppressive powers who tried to hold them in their hands somehow. [No country can oppress wizards except by contracts of free will. Since we are free wanderers and schrs who only seek the truth, all wizards in thisnd will have the right to decide their own future.] A closed organization only for wizards by wizards of wizards created in that way. Magic Tower. Those who united for the interests of magicians, who are called Arcadia''s professional and aristocratic professions, formed an independent force that transcends even the state based on their powerful power. [Eh..... We''ll take care of things like taxes and security, so don''t worry about it. If you twist it, wherever you try it. Where do you think you can go back properly without a wizard?] The Mage Tower tightly united for their own interests. The Bamal Empire, the Harmel Empire, and even the Saint Empire, which had powerful hegemony, boasted such a powerful influence that they could not be tampered with, so they were able to build arge number of mage towers all over the continent and take advantage of their interests to their heart''s content. [If you need our strength, please offer a corresponding price. Since the door of the Mage Tower is open to anyone, we will always act neutrally and only for our benefit.] The Mage Towers move like a huge group of mercenaries. Since they were always free to act ording to their own interests, it was historically almost impossible for all five Mage Towers to share their will. Except for the time of the undead invasion by Argamer, the legendary warlock. However, at this moment, for the first time in hundreds of years, a historic moment began to take ce when all the masters of the five magic towers gathered together. Gaul, the ruler of the Blue Mage Tower. Exuding the dignity of a typical wizard with a full beard, he opened his mouth as he looked around at the other four people sitting at the round table. To think that all the Magic Tower masters are attending. I dont know how long this is. Isnt it obvious? It''s not a dragonborn, it''s just a magic book for the 8th circle. It''s strange that such a great object has appeared in the world and not gathered. Unlike the others, Mael, the owner of the Red Mage Tower, has a small body and the appearance of a little girl. someone said to her Didnt you send your position in writing only through an agent in the discussion about Dragonbornst time? Even when the Harmel Empire used the Dragon Bone as bait, she never showed her face. However, Rias, the mage lord of the green mage tower, seemed to dislike the fact that he appeared suddenly at the news that the 8th circle magic book was at stake in this war. Is it the same as then and now? I covet Dragonborn, but... I really can''t stand the 8th circle magic book. Are you saying that both books are from our side? Since it was a red mage tower built by the elemental magic school as the main axis, it was not strange at all that she was most excited about this situation and rushed at it. Im going to be honest with you... but youre going to yield to us this time, right? Honestly, even if you took it, wouldnt you be able to use it? That''s why Mael reveals his greed without hesitation and asks for his hand off. However, everyone stood up at her shameless words. gibberish. Wasnt it the same thing that no one here could use? It''s not that you can''t learn magic from other schools. It''s all just a difference in ability. You know very well that the 8th circle magic book is not something you can give up for such a simple reason, right? Magic that was the exclusive property and power of dragons. In the first ce, it was knowledge that was not allowed to humans, so in the case of high-level magic such as the 8th circle, only a very, very rare part of it remains on the continent. So they said, making it clear that they had no intention of backing down on this matter. Even if it goes beyond the scope of the original school, the 8th circle is the 8th circle. It is an item that must be secured in order to ovee the realm. When Galia spoke with her eyes filled with firm and determined determination that she would never give up, Mael muttered in an annoyed tone. A fucking idiot who knows nothing about elemental magic. I don''t think this is something you''d hear from an old hag who is only obsessed with how he looked when he was young. What is this bastard? what did you just say? Mael stood up from her seat in a fit of anger as if those words were an outrage. But Gallia didn''t back down a bit and repeated what she had said. What can I say, I told her to make a child cosy for a 110-year-old old woman. Does pretending to be 10 years old by skipping one digit in front of it mean that you are really 10 years old? Oh, I''m sorry if I''m senile. I guess I said something too careless. My sincere apologies. Who is 110 years old! I am 107 years old this year! You damn beard bastard! Keuok! This crazy bitch! Who dares to touch the beard! Mael, the head of the Red Mage Tower, suddenly rushes in and pulls Gallia''s beard with all her might. And to her actions, Gaul also responded by raising her magical powers with angry eyes. Whoops. Keying. Perong. Kwak Kwa Kwam. A magical storm suddenly exploded between the two. It shattered the antique round table and caused a huge aftermath, but the other three each cast their magic as if they were used to it, and muttered at a distance in a perfectly fine state. It''s a start again... So let''s talk without those two. Come to work! I''m going to burn all of your handsome beard today! Go away, senile old woman! Whether you''re 107 or 110 years old, you''re the same old woman anyway, so why are you having seizures with that! Since this bastard wants to see you, really! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam. The two started a fierce magic battle as if they didn''t care whether their surroundings would be destroyed or not. Excluding those two people, the other three rulers of the Mage Tower made their own conclusions about this incident. I dont think the two of them will have any disagreements... then... this is the decision. Do you have any objections? None. agreement. So it was decided. The unexpected betrayal of the 5 Mage Towers and theplete fall of the Harmel Empire. Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Advance of the ck Panties (1) The Fern Fortress was on the verge of being upied by the Harmel Empire. Marquis Nigel, the Marquis of the Barmal Empire and themander-in-chief who guarded the ce, thanked Arthur for leading a huge number of adventurers who saved them from a desperate situation. I am Nigel von Hendricks, Marquis of the Barmal Empire. We express our deep gratitude to you for saving us and protecting thest line of defense for the Empire. Nobles who always show a noble and arrogant attitude. It is not easy to see them bowing their heads and expressing their gratitude, so the faces of his aides were stained with astonishment. No matter how much the benefactor who saved them, the opponent is just amoner adventurer. There was no exaggeration in the actions of an imperial marquis who was born with a noble lineage. However, whether he knew that or not, Arthur epted his thanks with a grin. no. I''m d you arrived before it was toote. Even if it was a littlete, there was no time to rectify it, and the situation that almost pierced even the imperial castle of the Bamal Empire was brutal. He rallied the guild members as quickly as possible and set off, but he sighed in relief at the fact that he would have ruined the majestic and great Dex''s n terribly even if he was a littlete. Phew... It was fortunate that Ignis set off with only the people gathered.'' Arthur is sweating cold behind his back and repeating to himself that he is fortunate. However, Marquis Nigel, who liked his words, asked. The adventurers'' organization is not called the Mercenary Corps, but by a different name. Did you say guild...? that''s right. What is your guild name? Marquis Nigel was aware of the fact that countless organizations formed by adventurers were springing up all over the continent, including the Barmal Empire. However, among all guilds he knew, there was no other ce with such a huge number of people, so he couldn''t contain his curiosity and asked. And to Marquis Nigel''s words, Arthur answered with a really dignified attitude without a single point of shame under the sky. What color are Dex''s panties? what....? what....? What color are Dex''s panties? Just hearing it is a name that makes you wonder if you are sane. Marquis Nigel asked again with an expression as if he had just heard it wrong, but Arthur once again answered his question clearly. What color are Dex''s panties? ..... Marquis Nigel froze for a moment, not knowing how to react to this. He made an indescribable expression, then looked at Arthur with a disgusted expression for a moment, but soon cleared his throat and said with an ufortable face. Keuhmmmm..... Thank you for that anyway. To say that he would lend his strength to the side of the Bamal Empire. I hope you will work hard to defend this Fern Fortress in the future. Marquis Nigel, who had already expected it when he fluttered his ck panties, but confirmed from the name that they were a group of perverts who could not be rehabilitated. But at Nigel''s words, Arthur asked with a bewildered expression. Eh? why? ...? ...? Marquis Nigel and his aides put question marks on Arthur''s bewildered expression. However, they were immediately startled by Ignis'' words. From now on, we n to advance towards the imperial castle of the Harmel Empire. What? What the hell is that crazy about now? Advance! The Harmel Empire has been preparing for this attack for a long time. As a result, their forces were more powerful and ruthless than ever before. Even the Barmal Empire, which had maintained its strong military power, was rapidly copsing. By the way... just a group of adventurers are going to attack rather than block the attack of the Harmel Empire? Seen through the eyes of the Marquis Nigel, it seemed nothing but a reckless act of suicide. That is impossible! It''s too dangerous! Even though each and every troop is precious, even an adventurer blessed with immortality would do something crazy like that...! Right now defense is more important than offense. Do not undermine our strength with hasty attacks! Marquis Nigel and his aides stop Arthur and Ignis. They tried to convince them through realistic stories as much as possible. I''m saying this because I don''t know how strong the Harmel Empire army is! Of course, I will admit that you are strong for an adventurer. However, it is impossible to defeat the elite knights of the Harmel Empire. And... they''re outnumbered too! Even if we did it, it would be a little over 100,000! About 200,000? Ignis kindly corrects Marquis Nigel''s words. But he was still skeptical. okay! 100,000 or 200,000! It''s impossible to defeat the Harmel Empire, which has an elite army of 400,000 anyway! All kinds of guys, including the magic tower, all joined in! Mercenaries belonging to the famous mercenary corps, including the 5th Mage Tower. In addition, support troops from minor kingdoms and users belonging to famous guilds... It was Nigel who had no idea that they would defeat the Harmel Empire, where all kinds of allied forces were formed. But... At Nigel''s persuasion, Arthur and Ignis looked at each other and smiled. You seem to be misunderstanding something, Marquis Nigel. what....? He asked what Ignis meant by that. Towards such Nigel, she muttered in a strange tone. Did you think we were only'' 200,000? Only those active in the Maroon Kingdom were gathered as quickly as possible and brought 200,000 people. More than that number of people spread out all over the continent and were enjoying the game, and Jaeyoung''s video uploaded on the Deck Fan Mu Guild channel was creating a huge ripple effect. [Dear deck fans.... We need your help. I ask you to stand in the vanguard together with me to punish the ruined Harmel Empire and the GM Merchant Merchant.] -Rush to the Maroon Kingdom right now. - I''m level 20 now, can I participate in the battle? I''ll even do a meat shield! - The glory of ck panties! - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! -My Life For Dex!!!!!! -Tell me the panty brand!!!!!! -Kiaaaaang!!!! A meticulous agitation that ps Goebbels twice and a fantastic coboration between mad followers. Deck fans gather from all over the continent, shouting only ck panties and giving away reason to dogs. No one noticed their movements, but Ignis knew through the status reports flying frantically to him. The fact that arge army of about 700,000 people, including himself, followed by the vanguard of 200,000, was moving towards the Fern Fortress here as a second step. Your Excellency, Marquis! This crazy... this! What the hell is this! And at the right time, a cry of astonishment heard from everywhere and the cry of those who are looking for Marquis Nigel. Marquis Nigel was taken aback by the sudden agitation and hurriedly asked the person who was looking for him. For what reason! Come up to the fort now! You have to see it for yourself! The lieutenant was so shocked that he could not even speak properly. Marquis Nigel, who hurriedly ran up to the top of the castle wall at his reaction, was speechless when he saw the scenery unfolding in front of him. This is ..... A huge number of troops advancing from far away. In the midst of the waves of people that were rushing towards the Fern Fortress, so crowded that it could be called a swarm of ants, Marquis Nigel saw something wrapped around one of his body parts as if he had made a promise, and frantically sighed. muttered in a trembling voice. Nonsense..... ck panties. He realized as he looked at the ck panties all the adventurers were wearing, so many that he couldn''t even dare to count them. The fact that this wasn''t all of these madmen who seemed to have just saved them. Ah, our main unit has arrived just in time. Arthur and Ignis walked up after him. Marquis Nigel looked at the two in amazement at the words of Ignis, who looked down at the people crowding under the castle wall and murmured. Then, noticing Nigel''s gaze, Ignis said with a seductive smile. You said earlier that the attack on the Harmel Empire was reckless, right? But have you thought about it? Ignis smiled as he approached Marquis Nigel as if whispering in his ear. She said as if she was happy just imagining it. If 900,000 adventurers who never die do not give up twice, three times, ten times, and run to destroy the Harmel Empire, how long will they be able to endure? ..... In response to that question, Nigel had a terrible imagination. The imagination of a group of never-dead perverts waving these ck panties holding swords and charging toward the Bamal Empire, not the Harmel Empire. Smiling at the pale Marquis Nigel, Ignis left thest word before turning to Arthur. There is a saying that offense is the best defense. It''s up to you, Marquis, whether you want to lock the bolts of this Fern Fortress and hide, or go with us to the heart of the Harmel Empire. Oh, there is no more door to lock. The castle gate that had already been destroyed horribly in the air war the other day. When Marquis Nigel looked down with aplicated expression at the fragments of the huge castle gate strewn across the floor. Arthur spoke to Ignis excitedly as if he could not control his excitement. I need some amplification magic. Ignis nodded at those words and cast magic. As the soft light hovered around Arthur, a message appeared before his eyes. [Voice amplification magic has been applied.] [People from far away can hear the voice well. Radius: 1000m.] [Charisma temporarily increases by 20.] [Charisma temporarily increases by 30.] [Skill effect Incite'' is activated.] Arthur with all sorts of additional effects. He clears his throat and clears his throat, then immediately calls out to the Fern Fortress to leave. [Did everyone gather! Deck fan moods!] [Wow! ck!] Arthur, leader of deck fan art. At his cry, everyone, from the vanguard inside the Fern Fortress to the rearguard outside, screamed ck and fluttered their panties. [What is our purpose?] [Dex''s brand of panties!] Those shouting as if they made a promise. But Arthur shook his head and shouted as if that wasn''t the case. [No, not that! Previously! What should I do first!] [Destroy the Harmel Empire!] Arthur nods as if he finally got the right answer. He then shouted, raising the sword Dex had gifted him high into the air. [This is Dex-sama''s first request! Let''s destroy all of the Harmel Empire and GM Merchants and get back the Dragon Bone they stole! And this damn main scenario, we''re totally done with! Got it!] [ck!] Watching everyone answer that word with mad faces, Marquis Nigel felt like he was going to lose his mind. What the heck... what the hell are these guys...?'' Those who seempletely out of the norm. However, there were so many of them that Marquis Nigel had the illusion that it was normal for a moment. And with a fearful gaze, he nced at their leader, Arthur, who led this enormous number of people. Really...a terrifying being...'' An adventurer who freely manages such a huge number of crazy people as if they were limbs. Although an adventurer, Marquis Nigel had a momentary but very simr feeling to someone. The previous emperor who led the Bamal Empire in its heyday. The appearance and speech of Behemoth, Lord of Frost Storms. And Arthur soon raised his sword towards the capital of the Harmel Empire and said. [let''s go! Guys! To show the horror of ck panties!] [For ck!] Thus, a history that will be forever recorded in the incidents and idents of Arcadia began. A counterattack by the adventurers who destroyed the empire. The counterattack of the ck panties. Chapter 223 Chapter 223 Advance of ck Panties (2) The defeated Harmel Empire ruled the eastern part of Arcadia''s 2nd continent. Those who tried to swallow the entire continent, starting with the Barmal Empire, which was entangled in a long-standing evil rtionship, had no choice but to be embarrassed by the unexpected power that suddenly appeared. Kiaaaaaang! die! puffer pung. Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam. Mysterious adventurers who all wrapped up their ck panties somewhere and rushed into ignorance. However, because there were so many of them that they could not count, the Harmel Empire had no choice but to panic at the huge number of wide-area attacks they poured out. Keugh..... Counterattack! Fight back! Dont back down and kill them all! The elite of the Harmel Empire, war veterans who have gone through all the battles. Even though Deck Fan Mu said that only those with a high level were gathered among the users, the overall ability was weaker than those of them, so those who had experiencedbat once glimpsed hope. Don''t be afraid! These guys... there are a lot of them, they''re like scarecrows! Kill them all! Deck fan dances that are dyed gray and copsed with just one simple knife. Themanders of the Harmel Empire, who judged them to be ragtag, shouted with determination to not back down in the slightest. For the glory of the Harmel Empire! The Harmel Empire''s troops shouted with determination to win this war without fail. And Deck Fan Mu, who rushed at them with ignorance, also shouted with a serious face as if he would not be pushed back. For ck! I need to know the brand of Dexs panties! Don''t interrupt! A fight for the glory of the empire and the panty brand(?). The battle between the Harmel Empire and Deckpanmu took ce on an unknown in that began like that. This battle ended without leaving a clear winner and stained the ins with great blood. And those who watched the battle live-streamed left their own impressions. -Ah..... -Those crazy guys..... -One side fights for the glory of the empire, and the other side fights over a brand of panties..... Damn it. * * * The first sh between Deck Fanmu and the Harmel Empire. Upon hearing this, Prince Dmitri smashed the desk in anger. Quaang. What the hell are you talking about! Losing 30% of the elite forces! Prince Dmitry, who ismanding the Imperial Army in the rear. He screamed in disbelief at the fact that there was a huge power loss due to the anomaly happening ahead. However, no matter how much he teased the messenger, the painful reality that had already unfolded did not change. The adventurers who prevented the upation of Fern Fortress have gathered inrge numbers. It''s estimated... 700,000 adventurers are marching towards the Harmel Empire beyond defending the Bamal Empire! What? 700,000...? A force of 700,000 suddenly popped out of nowhere. No matter how many tens of millions of adventurers live all over the continent, it was very unusual for 700,000 people to gather as one, so Dmitri shouted in amazement at the number beyond imagination. And then, his face twisted hideously and he looked around. The top of GM! Where has GM Sangsanju gone! When ites to adventurers, GM Sang Sangju knows better than anyone else. Dmitri looked around at the crowds gathered in the barracks, but there was no one associated with the GM corps anywhere. And one of the staff said to him with a serious expression. ording to the instructions you gave earlier, I ordered my subordinates to search for it... but it seems to have disappeared. I can''t see all the adventurers who belonged to the GM guild, including the GM guild. what....? As usual, he would have hovered around him and reflected his face in order to somehow get some rice cakes. When the envy disappeared in a delicate situation, Dmitri put on a puzzled expression, then quickly gnashed his teeth and said, I cant believe... they didnt n all of this, did they? That won''t be it. There is no benefit to them if we lose while entrusted to the Harmel Empire. The GM Merchants, who made a huge investment for the victory of the Harmel Empire in this war, not enough to sacrifice the Dragonborn. Dmitri''s thoughts became more and moreplicated, as he knew very well that if he did not win this war, he would suffer a devastating blow. But... I guess I''ll have to check. It is certainly iprehensible that everyone has disappeared. The Duke of Diern cautiously expresses his opinion. At his words, Dmitry nodded and ordered someone. Find out all those who are rted to the GM corps. And find out what they''ve been nning and bring their top lords to me. All right. After a few men left the barracks to do his bidding, Dmitri took a deep breath and sat down again. So, what is the current situation on the front? It is judged that the loss of troops will be maximized in continuous battles, so we avoid direct engagement and are currently confronting in the Faisal Manor... but we are in desperate need of support. You run the risk of being isted. The situation in the confrontation in the territory of the Bamal Empire that was upied earlier. However, the scale of the enemy was huge beyond imagination, and there were many territories that had not yet been upied, so if the engagement was prolonged, the Harmel Empire would be at a disadvantage. So, Dmitri decided to use the trump card he had been saving up until now, and ordered it. Call the Mage Towers reinforcements. * * * Mages called the flowers ofrge-scale battlefields. Although they required enormous preparation time and enormous mana, they were strategic weapons boasting tremendous firepower that could take away the lives of hundreds of soldiers and even knights trained to the extreme with just one spell. [We need to create abat corps made up of wizards only. As long as we can operate a magic corps made up of high-ranking wizards, we can effectively deal with anyrge-scale army!] Therefore, all countries, including the Harmel Empire, have invested enormous amounts of gold and manpower to mass-produce high-ranking wizards on their own, but as a result was terribly miserable. [Gold is not what a high-ranking mage needs to be born. Intense and persistent research of the individual himself. And the realization gained from in-depth discussions and intellectual exchanges with other wizard colleagues. In addition, a true great wizard is born in the ivory tower of knowledge umted by previous wizards for hundreds... thousands of years.] When ites to magic, except for dragons, the magic tower has made unrivaled progress. Because they were extremely closed and monopolized the information they had umted, wizards had no choice but to belong to the Mage Tower, whether they liked it or not. Oh, what can I do? Even if you have talent, if you don''t have a magic book to study, it''s over. No matter how good the Empire''s support is, it seems that the 4th circle is the limit. That''s why many countries including the Harmel Empire were able to mass-produce low-level mages with rtively low level on their own, but failed to mass-produce the high-level mages they really needed. And as a result, the Mage Tower was able to solidify its own unique position and stand tall. Having been promised a huge amount of dragon bones by the Harmel Empire, he stood in the position of a lender of strength in this war. What the hell are you talking about? Get out of the war! Jamie, a 6th-circle mage who shouts at themunication crystal ball in a high-pitched voice. Despite her embarrassing question, the voice of Gi, the head of the Blue Mage Tower, heard through the crystal ball was more determined than ever. [This is an agreement reached by all five Mage Towers. Since a serious problem urred in the contract with the Harmel Empire, it was decided topletely invalidate the previous contract.] A serious problem? What the hell is that...? She couldn''t understand the Mage Tower''s decision to pull out, saying that there was a problem with a strict, serious face, whenever she signed the contract, her eyes widened at the word that she would distribute the Dragon Bones. [There was a separate owner of the dragon bone that was supposed to be shared with us.] Yes...? Jamie asked back with an absurd expression, What the hell is that? However, Gallia nodded and said it was true. [I have already met and talked with the owner. If you find the Dragon Bone intact from the Harmel Empire and return it, we will pay for it separately.] Reward...? No wait. Just give back the dragon bones? As it is in a calm state? Nothing else, just like Dragonborn. It was a huge amount that could have been shared among the 5 Magic Towers, so when Gallia said that she would give it all up and return it to the original owner, she asked with a crazy look. Even if there is a separate owner, Lord of the Tower, it is just like the Dragonborn. That''s a huge amount too. Are you just going to return it? A decision that a normal member of the Magic Tower would never understand. It was better to gulp down all the dragon bones and swear at them, but she couldn''t understand the fact that they were just returning them, so she protested violently. [They said they would give you a circle 8 magic book as a reward. That''s 2 volumes.] Yeah...? what? But even she couldn''t help but freeze at the words of Gallia who smirked. 8 circles. A transcendental state that no one in the Magic Tower has reached. Because it is a state that the dragon did not allow, only some traces left by the dragon''s disciples exist. There was no 8th circle mage in perfect condition anywhere in the mage tower, so Jaime''s face was filled with disbelief at Galia''s words. [It''s hard to believe, but it''s true. Because the existence of the 8th Circle Magic Book has been officially confirmed not only by our Mage Tower, but also by other Mage Towers. You dont have to worry about it being false.] Then really...? The first 8th circle magic book. Of course, she was only a 6th Circle wizard who had not reached the level of understanding it, but excitement began to rise on her face as she knew that she could gain great enlightenment only with higher concepts and knowledge. [First of all... it failed to make those magic towers entirely our own, but we still agreed to take turns analyzing each other, sharing rted data, and conducting joint research.] A dramatic agreement reached by the 5 lords of the Magic Tower . It was decided to turn the magic book peacefully, so Gallia told her with a satisfied smile. [So immediately notify the prince there that you are canceling the rted contract, and withdraw immediately.] Okay. Where did the dissatisfaction from earlier go? To her, Galia continued talking as if she had forgotten. [Oh. In the meantime, would you like to convey one more position of the Mage Towers to the Harmel Empire?] The position of the Mage Towers? Gallia rummaged through the pile of parchment inside the crystal ball. Jamie, who watched his actions carefully, saw him take one out. [The statement I just made... No, I should say it''s a warning. Anyway... I''m going to deliver it to the Harmel Empire, so I thought it would be nice if you said something in advance.] What is it? Jamie asked with a curious face. To her, Gallia cleared her throat and began to read the positions of the 5 Mage Towers written earlier. [Eh.... The 5th Mage Tower expresses deep regret for the war between the Harmel Empire and the Bamal Empire that took ce this time and the unnecessary sacrifice of life that took ce as a result. Also...] The entrance statement of the Mage Towers, which begins by expressing formal and conventional regrets and concerns about this war. A statement full of misceneous rhetoric. And at the end of this boring statement, like the principal''s instruction, there was a real main point that they wanted to do to the Harmel Empire. [As a result of their own investigation into the circumstances that led to this war, the Harmel Empire confirmed that the recently acquired Dragon Bone was illegally plundered, and the 5 Mage Towers were astonished. Feeling deeply disappointed and condemning the despicable act that tarnishes the high glory and honor of the Empire. [Therefore, the 5 Magic Towers officially request the Harmel Empire to return the stolen Dragon Bone to its original owner. We dere that we will actively intervene in this war to reim the Dragon Bone, the treasure of the world, from those who are dishonorable.] Their ckmail threats to obtain the 8th Circle Spellbook. Chapter 224 Chapter 224 Fall of the Empire (1) Starting with the Bamal Empire, the Harmel Empire dreamed of conquering the entire continent. Using the Dragon Bone acquired by chance as bait, they secretly enlisted various forces including the Mage Tower. Even after the war started, they were thoroughly silent about the Dragonborn, but everything was forcibly exposed by the 5 Mage Towers. [As a result of their own investigation into the circumstances that led to this war, the Harmel Empire confirmed that the recently acquired Dragon Bone was illegally plundered, and the 5 Mage Towers were astonished. I am deeply disappointed and condemn this despicable act that tarnishes the high glory and honor of the empire . It not only contained information about the secret behind-the-scenes dealings that the Harmel Empire had requested to keep secret, but also included the Mage Tower''s bloody threats against them. [Therefore, the 5th Mage Tower officially requests the Harmel Empire to return the stolen Dragon Bone to its original owner. If you do not respond to the above request within 5 days, the 5 Magic Towers dere that they will actively intervene in this war to establish justice on the continent and reim the treasure of the entire continent, the Dragon Bone, from those dishonorable.] It was written, but to put it simply, the 5th Mage Tower that cast Give me a dragon bone''. The reaction of the users who participated in this main scenario heated up with the official deration of the 5th Mage Tower that they would officially join the side of the Bamal Empire. -Wow, it''s hard to deal with the deck fan, so I''m going to search, but you''re going to participate in the battle with the magic tower? -Ah..... You really made a mistake in choosing your formation. You should have boarded the Barmal Coin. - No, but that''s the reason for participating in the war, right? The wizards I know aren''t like that... Users who don''t know exactly what''s going on inside the Mage Tower. They suddenly came together and had doubts about the Mage Tower''s move to side with the Bamal Empire, and soon after, all sorts of jokes began to spread through users belonging to the Mage Tower. -A wizard belonging to the Blue Mage Tower. cut it out It''s not the exact content, but he''s friendly with a high-ranking wizard inside the Mage Tower. It''s a story I heard by chance, but the Mage Towers obviously ate together with the Harmel Empire in the beginning. So, internally, there was also a story telling adventurers not to stand in the camp of the Bamal Empire. So me and all the other wizards were attached to the Harmel Empire, but they suddenly took a sharp turn. I don''t know, but the Bamal Empire suggested something big. It''s a dragon bone, but they''re not the ones who give it up for no reason. A post about a user who belongs to the Blue Mage Tower and unraveling the iprehensible behavior of the Mage Tower. And the post started to run full ofments with simr content. -Really;; Don''t side with the Bamal Empire. That''s why I chose the Harmel camp, but now I''m telling you not toe and support me. - No, does this make sense? If you choose a faction, you can''t change it, so give me the right to change! -Magic Tower user forced exit from main scenario jam. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - No, our Mage Tower is doing something like this because the Bamal Empire ate something; Among the many interests, the 5 Mage Towers would have chosen the Harmel Empire as the most beneficial direction. However, because they quickly changed their stance by pping Udyr''s cheek from side to side in a single moment, the Mage Tower users who were forcibly banned from participating in the scenario gnashed their teeth, but there were others who were angry at the sudden change of position of the Mage Tower. Kwaaang. What the hell kind of trick is this! To stand on the side of the Bamal Empire! Prince Dmitri Il, who was officially informed of the Mage Tower''s position. He strongly protested, expressing unsparing anger at Jamie, the wizard of the Blue Mage Tower, who leads the magic corps dispatched from the 5th Mage Tower. However, despite his formidable spirit, Jamie once again notified the position of the 5th Mage Tower in a firm and businesslike tone. I didn''t say I would be on the side of the Bamal Empire, Prince Dmitry. The 5th Mage Tower simply confirmed a serious problem with the Dragonborn, which they agreed to receive instead of cooperating with the Harmel Empire in this war, and ordingly withdraw their support for the Harmel Empire in this war. The huge amount of dragon bones promised by the Harmel Empire. However, they didn''t say anything about the fact that the item was stolen, so Jamie asked in a cold voice. No matter how valuable Dragonborn is, I don''t want to be stigmatized as an unscrupulous trader who knew it was stolen. I don''t know if the low prince knows how much this incident has reduced the honor and prestige of the Mage Tower. ..... Dmitry has nothing to say about that part. But he shouted again in anger as if this was not the case. Okay, saying yes to quitting this war. But why is the Mage Tower interfering with the Dragonborn?! If you don''t return it to the original owner, he will intervene in this war...? How is that different from siding with the Bamal Empire! It is not that they will return to neutrality, but the position of the Mage Tower that they will participate in the war if the dragon bones are not released. Regarding that part, Jamie shrugged his shoulders as if he had nothing to say, and answered simply. I don''t think that''s what I''m talking about. I''m just conveying the decision made by the Mage Tower, and I don''t know what discussions have taken ce in this regard. Jamie cuts off Prince Dmitri''s words and turns around, saying that he doesn''t know, so don''t ask. A thought passed through Prince Dmitry''s head as he looked at her back after notifying her of the Mage Tower''s position. Just kill them all...?'' A magic corpsposed of thousands of wizards dispatched by the 5 Magic Towers. 4th and 5th circles. Including even the 6th Circle Archmage, they boasted strong enough firepower to deal with the well-trained armies of small and medium kingdoms. Even the Harmel Empire was a difficult opponent to the point where they had to endure a huge loss of troops. His head began to spin quickly, knowing full well that they would meet again as enemies of the Harmel Empire if they withdrew and returned. Crossing the irreversible river with the 5 Magic Towers and dealing a fatal blow to their core power? Or do you let them go and meet again as enemies and kneel in front of them miserably? Prince Dmitry pondered over two options. With options so out of bnce, he was able to make that decision not long after. Duke of Diern. Yes, poor prince. At the call of Prince Dmitry Il, who called him with a cold face as if he had made a decision, the Duke of Diern answered with a serious face. If you let them withdraw, they will eventually be enemies aiming for the heart of the empire. ..... A situation that turns so suddenly. The sudden betrayal of the 5th Mage Tower was confusing and shocking to the Duke of Diern as well, so he did not say anything even after grasping Prince Dmitri Il''s will. You know what to do? ....That''s right. The Duke of Diern nodded and answered Prince Dmitri''s question. Prince Dmitry ordered him coldly with eyes full of anger and contempt. Mobilize all high-ranking knights and wizards. And exterminate all those who betrayed the empire. Everything, starting with that cheeky bitch. * * * Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. in charge of Arcadia''s 2nd continent. After the outbreak of the 4th main scenario, they ran around busier than anyone else in rapidly changing situations. Boss! Users belonging to the Mage Tower continue to receiveints asking for faction change rights. What should I do? yes. yes. no. Did you say reporter Lee Sang-hoon? If you write an article like that, the real legal team will respond directly. As of now, there is no official position from thepany, so if you have any questions, please ask in writing to the public affairs office. The report on the damage status of battles between Deck Fan Mu users and the Harmel Empire has beenpleted! I will send it right away! Your manager. yes? Meeting time change? Ah yes! yes I will go up now! The Crisis Management Response Team is involved in almost everything internally and externally about this situation and is responding in real time. All of the employees were busy running around as if their feet were on fire and were busy handling assigned tasks, and that was because of the situation in the game running amok like crazy. No, I said that the 5 Mage Towers belonged to the camp of the Harmel Empire. Why is it changing all of a sudden? Even when they grasped the details of the scenario, the Mage Tower had been included in the camp of the Harmel Empire. However, when they suddenly saw their data changing in real time, the crisis management and response team staff were bewildered. I know yeah. Also, it is said that the ess to information is restricted, but the reason for the change is not even confirmed... Because this is why people are cursing that it is an operation change. Even though he is an employee of a gamepany, the moment he curses at a game is not once or twice. All sorts of unresolvable problems erupting here and there without giving proper authority to the management team running around the field, and the behavior of the upper management, who puts them as meat shields in front of users who are at their peak of anger and only cleans up the poop, made the management team tremble as well. Haa... I''m about to leave thepany, but the rabbit-like children are stepping on my eyes... I heard that I have circr hair loss due to stress? I... got blisters on my ears because I was always on the phone. Employeesining of tremendous aftereffects while carrying a disease that has never existed before. They grumbled, remembering the peaceful past just a short time ago. Haa..... The old days were good..... Life with work. evening life. Clearly, just a few weeks ago, they were able to leave work on time and had plenty of time to rx while drinking coffee, but they were confused as to why they had suddenly be so busy that even their minds were exhausted. This is all because of the main scenario..... Main scenario..... The Korean continent has already started the 4th main scenario. They grumbled, feeling strangely unreasonable at the fact that they had already gone through this crazy hellish cycle 4 times unlike other continents. No, if this is the case, the other continents should be adjusted to some extent. Only us. What is this? So. There is one motive that sent me to another branch, but the workload there is so hostile that it cannot bepared to Korea. Other countries that are ying the game rtively peacefully. Users pouring out angryints, reporters salivating to extract a provocative article, and there was no need to write a report while extracting constantly changing data. Their workload was iparably different from that of the Korean branch. Haa..... fuck. Should I just apply for a dispatch and run away? Is it possible....? I''m sure there won''t be one or two people aiming for a job change during the next personnel transfer...? hell within hell. The Crisis Management Response Team boasts the most extreme level of difficulty even in the Korean branch, which is famous for its insane workload. Since the existing department was identally created in haste as it flew away, the employees belonging to this department were always contemting how to escape. While the Crisis Management and Response Team staff were awake, Alice started operating the arithmetic circuit while keeping an eye on what was happening in the game. [Unusual detection. Significant variables ur for the main scenario.] [A surprise attack by the magic corps belonging to the Harmel Empire''s Mage Tower. Massive casualties urred.] [84% loss of magic corps. Possible scenario analysis.....] The Harmel Empire made a surprise attack on the core forces of the Mage Tower to eliminate the aftermath. Ellis, who watched their mad moves and predicted the damage and aftermath, came to a conclusion shortly after. [Possible Scenario No. 2001.] [Main scenario change limited to users belonging to the Mage Tower.] [Applying an update.] Users belonging to the Mage Tower were tied up in the main scenario without being able to do this because they had previously chosen the Harmel Empire. Elise dered, granting them a whole new quest. [Act. 4 The Fall of the Empire] The sure andplete destruction of the Harmel Empire. Chapter 225 Chapter 225 Fall of the Empire (2) Ah''s magic wand ranked 124th in the ranking of wizards belonging to the Blue Mage Tower. After selling himself to the Mage Tower to learn the 5th circle magic, he was bound by the contradictory main scenario, and he was confused by the message that came at an unexpected moment. [The main scenario is updated.] [The quest has been changed.] [Please check the rted information.] Huh? What is this? Notification that the main scenario has been updated and that you must check the quest. Feeling curious about the phrase he had never seen before, he inadvertently opened the quest window and was shocked by the contents. Wow... what is this...? The fourth main scenario that was clearly named Continental War. However, the newly changed quest had apletely different name and content than before. [Act. 4 The Fall of the Empire] The Harmel Empire killed the great and outstanding wizards of the 5th Mage Tower in a cowardly and cruel way. All wizards were astonished and enraged at the vicious and shocking behavior of these people. Honor your predecessors who were brutally murdered and bring a righteous condemnation to the Empire and its followers for the unforgivable. [Clear Conditions] -upation of the Imperial Castle of the Harmel Empire -Defeat of Prince Dmitry Il (0/1) -Recovering Dragon Bones (0/1) You can receive rewards from. > An extremely difficult quest to capture the Imperial Castle of the Harmel Empire, punish Prince Il, the next emperor, and even retrieve the Dragon Bone. However, as if there were no options for him, he was asking for a quest that had already been definitively created. He said to help the Mage Towerpletely destroy the Harmel Empire. What a ridiculous quest like this... Harmel, the great empire thatpletely dominates the eastern part of the continent. The image of the Harmel Empire embedded in Ah''s magic wand was not a ce that could be easily destroyed, no matter how many of the five Mage Towers joined together, so absurdity bloomed on his face. But... Contrary to his thoughts, the situation in reality began to turn strangely. You all heard the news, right? The rulers of the 5 Great Mage Towers gathered again. Unlike the previous atmosphere, in the meeting that started in suffocating silence and solemnity, Gallia spoke first. First of all, let''smemorate our friends who died in this attack by the Harmel Empire. Aftermemorating them with silence for a moment, he said with a cold face. You dont have to exin why we gathered, so youll know, so lets get straight to the point. What should I do with the Harmel Empire, which would not be enough to chew on? The Harmel Empire inflicted a surprise attack on the high-ranking magic corps, the core force of the 5 Mage Towers, and nearly annihted them. The scale of the damage was slightly different for each mage tower, but the situation in which they lost the key talents and students who would lead the future was the same, so both privately and publicly, they were very upset. What do you do? We just have to wipe it all out. In response to Galia''s question, Mael utters extreme remarks to the point that the young girl''s appearance seems very foreign. She shouted, swearing revenge with burning eyes. I should have known in advance the level of the thieves of the Empire. Do you dare to touch the magic tower without knowing the subject? And all of the five magic towers? Mael''s teeth gnashed to the point of breaking as if he could never forgive him. When powerful mana started gushing out of her small body, who seemed to be about 10 years old, other tower owners also radiated hostility simrly to her and sympathized with her. Hundreds of years after the Argamer Crisis... we were quiet. Anyway... I really didn''t expect it to look this funny. It seems necessary to take this opportunity to let the entire continent know the potential of our mage tower. A ck mage tower symbolizing death and destruction. A blue mage tower that symbolizes wisdom and reason. A green magic tower symbolizing peace and cirction. A red mage tower that symbolizes struggle and passion. A gray mage tower that symbolizes truth and suffering. From the originally warlike and aggressive Mage Tower to the gentle and peaceful Mage Tower. A situation where everyone wants bloody revenge without cover. Therefore, the oue of this meeting was decided very simply and simply, unlike many other discussions in the past. Then it''s decided..... Galia, the lord of the blue turret, met the eyes of the 4 lords of the turret gathered at this round table. He is the highest authority and absolute decision-making body of all wizards. Dered as head of the Supreme Council of Magic. From this moment on, all the Mage Towers will take absolute and full-strength retaliatory measures against the Harmel Empire. Close all branches in the Harmel Empire and neutralize all active warp gates and other defensive barriers. Also... Countless warp gates installed in the Harmel Empire. And the defensive barriers installed to defend various forts and forts. He ordered the destruction of all magical infrastructures throughout the empire. Knowingly or unknowingly benefiting from countless magical systems, the Harmel Empire would be thrown into great chaos, but unfortunately, this was just a small part of the myriad retaliatory measures that the Mage Tower could take. For the Harmel Empire and all countries and organizations that cooperate with them, the export of all magic tools, including scrolls, magic stones, magic items, magic materials, magic potions, and more, ispletely prohibited. Also, those who vite this measure are regarded as enemies of the Mage Tower and punished with all their might. And... Orders for retaliation against the Harmel Empire that are constantly pouring out. And finally, he jumped up from his seat and dered, spewing out mighty mana. Finally... the Supreme Magic Council is the first prince of the Harmel Empire, Dmitri, and his followers, who triggered this tragic war. And I will ask the current emperor of the Harmel Empire to take all responsibility. The instigator of this continental war. Dmitry. and the nobles under him. In addition to the current emperor of the Harmel Empire... In this retaliatory measure by the Mage Tower, Gallia, who designated the target to be punished unconditionally, looked at the other 4 Mage Tower masters, emitting powerful mana and burning their silent fighting spirit, and said. Blood revenge for all who brutally murdered our precious brothers and sisters. That''s how all the 5 major tower masters participated in this war. All the reclusive strongest people who are at the edge of the 7th circle and are on the verge of reaching the 8th circle. * * * Alice, a wless artificial intelligence and administrator who oversees everything in Arcadia. Another executive meeting convened to announce her new update. Inside, Director Kang Tae-hoon was reporting to various department heads and executives about new changes with a serious face. So... you mean that the newly changed quest, Fall of the Empire, was applied only to users belonging to the Mage Tower? That''s right. Then, the dissatisfaction of the users whoined about camp issues must have been resolved. This is because the existing contradictory quests have been deleted and new quests have been created. A situation where rtedints were pouring in countless times. So, the manager of the customer satisfaction team muttered with a sigh of relief, but Kang Tae-hoon shook his head with a serious face at him. That is a serious problem. yes....? What do you mean by that? Executives and managers who have not yet grasped the situation urately. To them, Manager Kang Tae-hoon sighed heavily as if he was frustrated and began to exin the current situation step by step. The trigger for this updated scenario is the surprise attack by the Harmel Empire on the magic corps of the 5th Mage Tower. What is included in meeting materials. Those who were already familiar with the contents looked at Director Kang Tae-hoon with eyes that said they knew everything. You know that. Isn''t that why the 5 Magic Towers will officially participate in the war and attack the Harmel Empire? Isn''t this really different from the previous change of position? It just made their decision a little more clear. In the first ce, the 5th Mage Tower had changed its stance from the Harmel Empire to the Barmal Empire. Since it was already decided to be hostile to the Harmel Empire, Director Kang Tae-hoon refuted an executive''s question as to what was the problem. The problem is that the Mage Tower that made that decisionpletely opened its lid. The Harmel Empire, who had almostpletely annihted the core personnel of the 5 Mage Towers and the students who would have been cherished and nurtured by the owners of the Mage Tower. If the 5 Mage Towers had originally decided to go to war only for the benefit of the Mage Towers without any emotion, they were now rushing into the war with selfish intentions to erase the Harmel Empire from the map. It has not yet been confirmed urately, but... If we analyze the data and patterns we have now identified, the result that will be triggered by the 5 Mage Towers is the ruin of the empire. Originally, bloodshed could have been avoided if only the dragon bones were quietly released. However, these wizards, now with their eyes wide open and sharpening their staff, did not care about the Dragonborn and were only looking for bloodshed. Then... does that mean that the Harmel Empire can be destroyed...? Maybe it will. The fall of the Harmel Empire, which controlled the eastern part of the second continent of Arcadia. At the words of general manager Kang Tae-hun that the main scenario would end with a destruction ending again, sighs were heard from here and there. Heh heh..... Again...? Another destruction...? The media and the users must be in a frenzy... Arcadia executives and staff who created and operated famous game IPs while working for famous gamepanies in the past. That''s why they shook their heads with annoyed faces, feeling fed up with this main scenario that brought about the worst ending. This... How can I lower the hostility level? -999. The hostility of the 5 Mage Towers against the Harmel Empire. I just looked at the huge likability level, which was stamped as the enemy of the enemy, and asked if it could be adjusted a little, but Manager Kang Tae-hun nced sideways at President Lee Mi-yeon and said, It is possible to artificially lower the hostility level in order to prevent the worst oue... but that is because the only person on our side who has the authority... is the president... Employees who look earnestly towards them. However, she smiled and said firmly without a single word of concern. oh. I dont know why everyone is looking at me, but you better hope for what you want. President Lee Mi-yeon, smiling brightly, asserts that such a thing will never happen. At her words, the executives and employees in the conference room thought to themselves. That''s right.....'' Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities are a piece of shit. The game is all about to explode. What kind of freedom is freedom?'' Isn''t this enough to just enjoy making the game explode?'' Rumors from time to time. It was the executives and employees who felt a strange credence to the myth that the boss had a perverted (?) taste for games being ruined. And then, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked General Manager Kang Tae-hoon. Chief Kang Tae-Hoon, is there any data other than this about the Mage Towers disposition of users? yes....? CEO Lee Mi-yeon carefully examines the data written by Kang Tae-hun. She searched for something with strange eyes, then asked meaningfully. No, I think the current situation is simr to the witch hunt that happened in the past. witch.... Hunting? The worst incident that happened on the Korean continent. He asked, looking anxiously at President Lee Mi-yeon, who mentioned what was taboo among the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., where users who were divided into good and evil fought a bloody war with each other. Didn''t you say that the Mage Tower punishes the Harmel Empire and all those rted to them? From the data point of view, yes. Then, what happens to the users who chose the side of the Harmel Empire in this main scenario? yes....? yes?! A magic tower that vowed to destroy all those rted to the Harmel Empire with all its might. As the list of countless users who will be written in their killing book passed through their heads, the faces of the executives and staff members turned white in an instant. Wait a minute. If that happens..... This crazy..... Executives and employees hurriedly flip through the meeting materials at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. Before they could find it, President Lee Mi-yeon kindly read a phrase out loud. Oh, here it is. If the selected faction is defeated, you may receive a penalty''. ording to the phrase here.... If the Harmel Empire is defeated, I think the users who chose this faction will probably receive a fair retribution from the Mage Tower... A short phrase written in the quest description window of this main scenario. After kindly reading it, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered teasingly as she looked at all the employees who were frozen in a daze. I''m sure everyone will be busier soon? The phone is going to be on fire. Chapter 226 Chapter 226 Fall of the Empire (3) Magicians who have lost someone''s precious teachers, disciples, and close friends. And the result was a strong bond between the 5 Magical Towers, who had always been fighting against each other. [Blood revenge on the Harmel Empire and its imperial family.] Those who turned to the enemy on the side of the Harmel Empire. However, unlike before, the concentration of wizards who did their best was enormous beyond imagination. Fire Hurricane. A storm of prominence that burned everything swept the fortress of the Harmel Empire. Blood drain. The mighty Imperial army, born in extreme training, died spilling blood. Void Demolition. The glory and honor of the brilliant and lofty Harmel Empire were brutally destroyed. Masters of the 5 Great Mage Towers who are on the verge of reaching the 8th Circle. The fire of wide-area magic poured out by tens of thousands of elite wizards directly led by them was so powerful that no gigantic and powerful fortress could withstand it. -Wow..... A real wizard is the flower of the battlefield. -Was the 5th and 6th circle magic so easy to see? It just flies all over the ce. -???: Whoever touches the Mage Tower bes X. It''s going to be very X. -But why are the magic tower owners so tall? Even if you use just one 7th circle, it just blows away like autumn leaves. -Does the 5th Magic Tower Master look like a kid you can easily see ? All of them are special NPCs. Even if I can''t do it, the estimated level will be 400? -400?? No, the ranking has not reached 200 yet, so why are those guys popping up?;; Special NPCs of the 400 level suddenly popped out when the official ranking registered in the Hall of Fame of Arpendia was about to reach 190. It was not one, but five, so the users of the Harmel camp, who had to deal with them as enemies, expressed great dissatisfaction. - Mr. Lee~ The haircut is really good. Whatever you do, they keep hitting you and feeding you shit. -No hahahahaha. In the beginning, the Harmel Empire seemed to have an advantage, but they are doing a bnce patch like this? Are you crazy? -I chose a kitchen having a kitchen. -Really;; I chose this because my hand slipped, but it''s sweet haha - Deck fan! Deck Fan Mu! Deck Fan Mu! Deck Fan Mu! Excluding the very few users who chose the Bamal Empire camp, they are struggling while fighting against the suddenly joined Deck Fan Mu and the Mage Tower. That''s why those who were forced to log out with a death penalty due to being beaten by the magic tower and deck fans naturally picked up their phones and called somewhere as if they had made an appointment. and said hey. Do you really want to do something like this? * * * The Korea branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is living a peaceful daily life despite the frantic protest calls. There, President Lee Mi-yeon was discussing the situation with Jack who appeared on the monitor screen. [The fourth main scenario Continental War, which urred in the Korean continent, will eventually end with the victory of the Bamal Empire. It is doubtful whether it should be called their victory, since the Barmal Empire has practically not done anything. As if the current situation, where the narrative of the main scenario was being overturned by their chaos, Jack smiled and continued the story. [As a result, the Harmel Empire will perish through this scenario. I don''t know how the Mage Tower will make the final decision on the imperial family... but maybe its influence will shrink to the point where it can''t be called an empire, and the territory will be torn apart..... Roughly like this.] The Mage Tower and the Bamal Empire Small and medium-sized kingdoms that will be torn into dozens ording to interests. Seeing aplicated map that looked like the Spring and Autumn Period, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered, predicting what would happen in the future. In the future, the overall capacity of the Korean continent will decrease. [Is that right? Whatever it is, it is true that the eastern part of the Korean continent has been gathered under the Harmel Empire until now. The chaos and unstable situation in the eastern region will continue for some time toe.] It is only natural that the wildcats y games in the absence of a king. That''s why, at Jack''s words, Lee Mi-yeon''s face couldn''t help but get darker. If it were a different situation, I wouldnt have said much, but... I dont think that would work in this situation, right? When the Pangea update is just around the corner, and only in the case of the Korean continent, an excessively unstable situation is created... Large-scale update project Pangaea. It has already been announced unofficially once before, but it is a top-secret matter that only the branch managers and a few key personnel know about in each branch around the world. Users all over the world were already on the verge of an unprecedented and unprecedented update that would transcend time and space... even the limitations ofnguage and allow everyone to enjoy ying together, so President Lee Mi-yeon honestly said that the current main scenario was the heart of the story. did not enter [I sympathize with and understand that part, but... I can''t help it. Because this scenario was triggered by users who are purely enjoying the game without me or the gamepany intending to.] From the point of view of game operation, it is deeply absurd to make such a mess right before arge-scale update. Jack understands. However, if you look at each one of the causes of this main scenario, President Lee Mi-yeon had no choice but to nod and keep her mouth shut. Dex tried to sell the Dragon Bone acquired in the Japanese continent. The GM group who robbed the Dragon Bone and handed it over to the Harmel Empire. Dmitri, a warmonger who was eager to make a feat to be emperor. And Dex started a counterattack to find the Dragon Bone. Coincidence and coincidence ovep, and coincidence and coincidence ovep, creating a fate-like narrative. Looking at the current situation created by that, President Lee Mi-yeon''s anger gauge, looking at the top of GM, could not help but rise along an upward curve. Even if he had to rob it, why would he rob his stuff... It would have been a headache to just release a huge amount of Dragon Bones into the market, but it could have been passed much more quietly than the mess that is happening now. A cold chill lingered on her face because the situation triggered by GM''s upper managementpany intervening and being greedy for something she couldn''t even eat was the current reality. [But... I don''t know if it''s because of this incident, but I don''t think I''ll ever see GM again. Users who belonged to the top of GM and yed were disposed of all their funds? Are you the top owner? The user who said it suddenly deleted the character just yesterday.] After grasping the relevant data, Jack tilts his head as if wondering. At his words, CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded, realizing that the request she had made to Managing Director Lee Ju-yong had worked. I personally handled that part separately. [Oh really?] Yes. I''ve been waiting for the continuous intervention ofrgepanies because I didn''t like it from before, but I took care of it neatly at this opportunity. President Lee Mi-yeon, who moved all the way to the Blue House andpletely removed GM Group''s influence inside Arcadia. At her words, Jack nodded as if he understood. [Somehow..... I was puzzled by the sudden request to delete the character... but now I understand the situation.] Beyond that... I want to ask you one more question. [yes. Please tell me.] Jack answers coolly, as if to ask me anything. President Lee Mi-yeon asked him with a puzzled look. The clue use of this main scenario quest is If the selected faction is defeated, you may receive a penalty''. What exactly did you mean by that? The main scenario created in real time by predicting the most probable situation by Alice, an artificial intelligence that observes and analyzes everything within the Arcadia continent. However, she asked because she knew that in the case of the final scenario quest, Jack''s review would go through once. [Oh is that it? Isn''t that obvious? When the two empires are risking everything to wage war, it doesn''t make sense to leave those who oppose them alone.] Rewards for the victors and penalties for the losers. The details have not been decided, but there is no such thing as properly'' for the wizards whose lid has been opened, so President Lee Mi-yeon, concerned about another massacre, asked with a slightly pale face. Haa... Any penalty is fine, but can you please stop making it into a sea of blood again? Even after the witch hunt, the media and the National Assembly are constantly looking for an opportunity to bite the bullet, but I can''t give you another excuse. Human rights abuse game. Genocide game. Appearance discrimination game. Warlord game. A group that brings up all sorts of incidents and idents that took ce inside Arcadia and drives them to the harm of mankind. At the request of Lee Mi-yeon, who wanted to somehow avoid the tired situation of being bitten by them again, Jack hesitated as if he was embarrassed. [Ummm..... You shouldn''t intervene artificially.....] Please. It is said that Ajin Electronics and the Blue House are also a little confused these days because of the problems rted to the Underworld construction. When Arcadia gets noisy here, it bes more difficult to deal with. Under the strong protection of President Jeon Ki-chan and Ajin Group, Arcadia was able to continue its service regardless of all kinds of attacks. But recently, the external situation was making a little unstable rupture, so it was necessary to be a little careful. That''s why Jack also nodded his head at Lee Mi-yeon''s exnation. [all right. Considering the external situation... I will adjust the penalty to a less violent method.] Thank you very much. [What. lol. Since it''s the boss''s request, are you only listening this time?] Jack smiled broadly as he answered coolly. Lee Mi-yeon, who briefly looked at the smiling golden eyes with a cute look, asked him again as if she remembered. Oh, and could you email me the data rted to this scenario? It''s because the reports written by the staff are messy and I can''t understand them properly... [Of course. Alice.] [Sent the material by mail. Check it out.] At the same time as Alice''s words, a report file was immediately sent to her mailbox. Lee Mi-yeon, who confirmed that, responded with a smile. thank you. Now I can properly grasp the situation. [lol. But there is nothing special about it. It''s just the things you know.....] Hey... Jack? Jack chattered with a smile on his lips. After cutting off his words, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked, looking at Jack with a hard face for an instant. Im looking at the data you just sent... The mission that has been updated for Dex users... What is this...? [yes....? Why is that?] Jack asks back as if something went wrong. In response to his reaction, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered as if he understood everything now. Somehow..... If you''re the original inclination, you''re a great person who would attack the Imperial Castle as a strong god ande out with only Dragon Bones. Ho ho ho. The sixth mission given to Dex. She was the first to discover the clue use attached to it, and now she was able to realize it. < You cannot engage in directbat while performing missions. > Why did he, who always went alone to solve problems, attract so many people and make the game bigger? Jack Im only going to ask you this once, so think carefully and answer honestly. President Lee Mi-yeon, whose atmosphere haspletely changed. Her face was clearly smiling, but the arctic chill that radiated from her made Jack sense something was wrong and stumble. [A... Why are you doing that all of a sudden...?] Did you deliberately limit the directbat of Dex users because you thought it would be fun? [That''s that... That''s...] Yes? Is it like that? Jack rolls his eyes here and there at President Lee Mi-yeon''s words, contemting what to answer. He protested with an unfair expression as if it was absolutely not. [no! I just...] Just... what? [Uh... I limited it to the meaning of giving up moderately since the update ising soon..... I didn''t know it would be such a big deal.....] Jack tried to avoid creating this situation in his own way. However, seeing this mess that had reached an uncontroble level contrary to his pure intentions, President Lee Mi-yeon lost his words for a moment. And soon, with a tired face, he gave advice to the sullen Jack with sincerity. Never again...don''t ask that user to solve it in a peaceful way again. Chapter 227 Chapter 227 Fall of the Empire (4) The sixth mission to recapture the Dragonborn peacefully. While fighting a fierce war for the survival of the empire in the eastern part of the continent, Dex was spending a leisurely time staying in the Maroon Kingdom. [I caught a foil minnow.] [Length 14cm. Rating: F] Hmm..... As expected, fishing is a skill that boasts extreme efficiency wherever it goes. The rate of increase over time is too low. Jaeyoung has been enjoying fishing for over a week now. There were many misceneous fish and items he caught while fishing all day, but his fishing skill had only reached D rank. Hey master. How long are you nning to stay like this? It is hard to see a person who can be said to be the starting point and the main cause of this situation. Tan shouted with a face full of displeasure as he saw him spending time leisurely in the turbulent world, as if he were in the middle of the sky. Right now, the eastern part of the continent is inplete uproar! War is going on almost everywhere and bloody fights are going on, so are you going to waste your time doing nothing here? Jae-young, who shouts chaos destruction and destruction, rushes to the battlefield and wipes out the enemies, but even if it is not enough, Jae-young is focusing on catching fish, which is worse than doing nothing. He shrugged his shoulders at Tan''s words and spoke as if talking to others. Didnt I tell youst time? We will resolve this issue peacefully. no! So why the hell would you do that! The master wasn''t originally that kind of person! Tan has been by Jae-young''s side and watched his y more closely than anyone else. That''s why he knew better than anyone else that Jaeyoung''s behavior was strange. If it were like the original owner, it wouldn''t be enough to run to break the heads of the Harmel Empire and GM''s upper ranks right away and overthrow them all, so why are you suddenly trying to resolve this issue peacefully? Did that damn chicken say something else without me knowing? Just in case, Tan red at L with a grim face and questioned him. But to his question, El responded with a more cynical face than ever before. What is he saying now? You stupid baby bat. Right! Does it make sense for our master to just change like that? He is more vicious and evil than anyone else, and he is a human without blood or tears. You are a human being who exists to feed humans, but does it seem normal to do nothing and stay still like that? A remark that allows you to get a glimpse of Tan''s thoughts on how he usually looks at Jaeyoung. At those words, Jaeyoung red at Tan with an absurd look, then muttered while lowering the fishing rod. Its not like that, so dont keep talking about it. I can''t help it because of the mission. A quest exclusive to the Bard of Anarchy and a major source of probabilities. So, from Jaeyoung''s point of view, whether he likes or dislikes the contents of the mission, if possible, he has been semi-forced to y ordingly, so even if he went to the Harmel Empire right now, there was nothing he could do. However, Tan and L, who did not know much about the mission, tilted their heads. mission....? what is that? Even before the owner, whenever he did something, he said a mission mission to himself, but what the hell is that? Tan and L show reactions that do not properly understand the contents of the game system. Looking at the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung thought about how to exin it, and then said. Hmm... Can I say its simr to the mission you guys are talking about? What? mission....? crazy! Did the owner have anything like that? Tan and L react violently in shock at Jaeyoung''s exnation. However, Jaeyoung was so calmly holding on to the fishing rod that had been bitten again and wrestling with the fish. What are you so surprised about? Jaeyoung talks like it''s not a big deal. But unlike him, Tan and L''s expressions were more serious than ever. of course. There''s no way there''s such a thing as a mission for mere humans. A mission only exists for beings who have the power and divinity directly bestowed on them by their father. Among human beings, it is impossible unless it is someone like the pope or saint, but how can it be... Mission (ʹ). It belongs to transcendent beings endowed with enormous power and divinity from birth. Tan and El muttered as if they finally understood everything, knowing that Jaeyoung, who calmly fishes, also had this, which is their reason for existence, their role, and also a powerful fetter. As expected... Dex-sama was no ordinary human being. Is that why I was brought here with the appearance of an imp? Somehow, it wasnt time for me to make a forced contract, but something was strange. The two of them roughly understand that the creator''s will is involved. As he took care of the fish he had just caught, Jaeyoung said in an annoyed tone. Then stopining. I didn''t open my hands to those damn perverts because I wanted to. Dex hates and hates deck fans more than anyone else. It was his honest feeling that he wanted to gather them all together and burn them without a trace, so if it wasn''t for this mission, there was no way Jae-young would attract everyone''s attention and let them shine brilliantly in the first ce. [Kiaaaaang!!! Let''s flutter the ck panties! Comrades!] A video of deck fans waving their ck panties and screaming madly after upying a fortress in the Harmel Empire. I still feel dizzy when I imagine that this is a real-time hot topic video on the Arfandia main page and that billions of people around the world are watching it. Ha... did you really open your hands to the worthless guys...? Even thinking about it now, Dex feels regret at the thought of touching people he shouldn''t have touched. Tan asked with curious eyes whether he knew his feelings or not. Wait a minute... So what is the owners mission? uh? My mission? ok. What exactly is the role the master has been given in Arcadia? When Tan asked what his role was in this game, Jaeyoung, who had never thought deeply about his role in detail, was lost in thought for a moment. Creator of Arcadia. The existence that Tan and El call father would be a divine being that everyone respects, but it was different for Jae-young, who knew that this whole world was an illusion made of virtual data. Just one human being living on this earth no different from other people. And he whispered while making Jae-yeong a job changer through a hidden quest. [Please do your best in the future. Just like I am doing now.] The voice that had been heard in the voice of a yful child, as if sincerely looking forward to it. And after that, Jae-young, who looked back on the things that happened while ying as a wanderer in the turbulent world, finally realized what his mission was. Kkaengpan..... Huh? What did the master just say? yes....? Tan and L ask with expressions as if what they heard is correct. To those two, Jaeyoung once again clearly told them about the mission given to them by the so-called Creator. Its my mission to work hard and do my best to y the game. ..... ...? Tan and L put question marks on their faces with indescribable expressions. Then he turned around and shouted at Jaeyoung, who was fishing as if he had made a promise. What kind of mission is that! * * * The Harmel Empire, which reigned as the ruler of the continent for hundreds of years after conquering all the numerous powers scattered in eastern Arcadia, was born. Uninvited guests, whom they did not want, began to walk proudly into the Hwangseong, the heart of an honorable empire and a glorious ce built more luxuriously and splendidly than any other kingdom. Representative of the 5 Great Magic Towers and Chairman of the Supreme Magic Council, Gallia, the lord of the Blue Magic Tower. What color are Dex''s panties?'' Arthur, the master of the guild and the guardian of the ck panties. Duke Gilders, the greatest sword of the Bamal Empire and themander inmand of all the Bamal Empire forces. The allied forces wiped out all of the Harmel Empire forces and arrived at the ce where the capital was in front of their eyes. Horrified at the speed of their unstoppable advance, the Harmel Empire eventually had no choice but to raise a white g. Peace negotiations concluded so dramatically. It was none other than Duke Myers, the chancellor of the Harmel Empire, who greeted the three who came to the imperial castle of the Harmel Empire for this peace negotiation. His Majesty the Emperor is waiting for you. Duke Myers, who had been waiting nervously for a long time, could not hide his nervousness in front of the door. As he cautiously started guiding them somewhere, Gallia muttered in surprise. I didn''t know that the emperor woulde out himself. Wasn''t the condition serious? ...It''s not a problem that can be solved without direct intervention. Following Duke Myers, who spared his words, the three of them arrive at an antique meeting room. They had already arrived and saw the haggard emperor of the Harmel Empire sitting in their seats, and swallowed their silence. Umm..... It''s more serious than I thought.'' It''s aplete skeleton...'' The emperor of the Harmel Empire, whose death seemed already upon him just by looking at it. Shocked by the fact that the existence of the empire was endangered by this incident, his condition had changed to a much more critical condition. While each of them was organizing their thoughts in their heads, the emperor of the Harmel Empire spoke first. First of all... I personally apologize to everyone who has been harmed by the Harmel Empire''s war. Obsessed with the vain desires of my children, too many people have shed blood because of their wrong decisions. An unusual situation in which the iron-blooded emperor, who ruled the entire empire with ruthless charisma, personally handed over an apology. Under normal circumstances, this would never have happened, but this was infinitely insufficient to calm the Mage Tower''s wrath. Do you think an apology like that will make this all happen? Gallia growled with eyes full of rage and murder. The emperor nodded at his question. Of course, that doesnt mean that the precious people of the Mage Tower killed by the Empire wille back alive. ..... Gallia was silent at those words. The emperor asked him first. I know that the 5th Mage Tower wants bloody revenge. How can I quench that anger even a little bit? If I can put my life to rest, I will dly offer it to you. ...?! yes....? ..... The emperor of the Harmel Empire said he was willing to give up even his own life. When everyone was making faces of astonishment at his words, Duke Myers also shouted in fright, as if this was an unexpected situation. Your Majesty! What the heck does that mean... But the emperor did not care at all about the reaction of those around him and spoke again. Anyway, its a body that doesnt have much time left to live. If my life alone can save other people of the Empire, I am willing to do so. The emperor of the Harmel Empire, who seemed to have already put everything down. Gaul made an indescribable expression at his reaction. And after a moment of deliberation, he said. We do not need your blood for our vengeance. But... I think we need the heads of Prince Dmitri and the nobles who followed him. Gallia talks about the disposition of the main people responsible for this incident that brutally killed the wizards of the Mage Tower. Even though his first son was included at the top of his killing department, the emperor nodded without hesitation. Dont let that happen. The Harmel Empire will also cooperate as much as possible in handing over the recruits of those involved. And hand over the stolen dragon bones. We will return it to the original owner. Okay. Even after that, there were numerous requests from Gaul and the Duke of Gilders, but the emperor of the Harmel Empire did not say anything about any unreasonable content and epted it as much as possible. Because he knew better than anyone else that the copse of this negotiation would mean the end of the Harmel Empire. He did his best to bring this war to an end by giving up flesh and bone. What do you guys... want from our empire? To some extent, the story between the Mage Tower and the Barmal Empire ising to an end. However, Arthur, the leader of Deck Fan Dance'', sat there silently without saying anything, so the emperor spoke to him first. You''re not just participating in this war, what do you want from our empire? The emperor of the Harmel Empire, who wants to quickly take out the bill for this war. At his words, Arthur spoke more seriously than ever. Dex''s panties brand. what....? ...? ...? The conference room was engulfed in silence for a moment. Among those who stood still as if time had stopped, Arthur proudly spoke about the industry reward they really wanted, which the 1 million Deck Fan Mu Guild members were shouting unanimously. Dexs panty brand is a requirement for our deck fan club. Chapter 228 Chapter 228 Fall of the Empire (5) Unconditional surrender of the Harmel Empire. The fourth main scenario of Arcadia''s second continent, which began with the arrogant ambition of Crown Prince Dmitri and the nobles to make the entire continent their own. And that huge story ended with theplete copse of the defeated Harmel Empire, which had ruled the eastern part of the continent for hundreds of years. [The Harmel Empirepletely relinquishes its control over the territory of Fern Kaimal Peyton Eirn Kaiden Kashon Durn Daiel Farmil and transfers all authority to the Barmal Empire. In addition, we pledge not to exercise any rights in the transferred territory in the future. And in order topensate for the damage suffered this time, paying 100 million gold as war reparations...] The vast and fertile core territories called economic, geographical and military hubs, and the Harmel Empire''s enormous treasures and finances were taken away. [The first prince of the Harmil Empire, Dmitri, and all the aristocrats who assisted him are exterminated on charges of war crimes that threatened the peace and security of the entire continent and instigated war. The disposition of these recruits is entrusted to the Mage Tower, which has lost numerous fellow wizards.] High-ranking nobles who were responsible for the territory and administration of the vast empire, including the prince of the Harmel Empire, have disappeared to a level close to extinction. [In addition, we will take responsibility for the entire Harmel Empire that started this war and downgrade their status to a kingdom'' as of the current time. Therefore, all rights and privileges as an empire are deprived.] Their shining glory and honor have fallen deep into the endless abyss. It is hard to believe that it was a huge empire thatmanded an era. And the impressions of the users who watched it were all hot. -??? Harmel lost? really? -Fuck hahahahaha. is this a real story really. -Wow..... What is that? -It''s not an empire anymore. from the kingdom A situation in which one mighty empire shrank like a deted balloon. As they saw their territory and influence diminish to the level of a single kingdom, they expressed their anger as one. -Hey, this shit mangem. Seriously, why are you so quiet these days, saying that you can''t give others a dog''s habit? -Destroyed the beginner''s vige. Destroy hunting grounds. Destroy the map. Are you going to destroy the empire now? - Going like this, next time I''m going to break a continent. Also, people who are genuinely annoyed at the violent and destructive behavior of a gamepany that destroys an empire. However, the problem facing them was more serious than that. [Malignant adventurers who cooperated with the Harmel Empire, it would be meaningless to punish you with death as you are gifted with the power of immortality. But that''s why the Bamal Empire will always hate and curse you. We will spit on your way, and we will rejoice at your misfortune, and no one will ask for your help.] Adventurers who plotted to help the Harmel Empire destroy the Bamal Empire. The anger and hatred of the Bamal Empire against them was enormous beyond imagination. [Get down and crawl, damn opportunists. You will not be weed under the sky of the great Barmal Empire.] And the result. At the same time, numerous messages appeared in front of the eyes of numerous users. [Act. The Four Continents War ended with the victory of the Bamal Empire.] [The quest failed.] [Penalty for failure is applied.] [ The title Traitor of the Continent'' has been obtained.] [The title Traitor of the Continent'' is applied. The effect is forcibly applied.] [The loser is branded.] [ Title change is disabled for a limited time.] [ Remaining time: 364 days 23 hours 59 minutes 42 seconds] A title created as a penalty was applied. Those who felt strangely ominous at the exnation that the title was stuffed for a year were shocked when they opened the detailed description of the title. What is this...! This crazy ..... A title forcibly given to those who chose the camp of the Harmel Empire. In this special title, the truly enormous penalty was written so long and densely that it was impossible to see at a nce. -Basic favorability of the Barmal Empire and Mage Tower -500. -Price penalty applied when using shops in the Barmal Empire and Mage Tower. (250% increase when buying, 50% decrease when selling.) - You can be attacked with a high probability. -You may be treated unfairly by the guards. -Cannot perform quests in the Bamal Empire and Mage Tower. -Penalty increases by 1000% whenmitting a crime within the territory of the Bamal Empire . . . Side effects full of fatal penalties that are difficult to handle one by one. The figures differed slightly depending on the level of contribution obtained in the camp of the Harmel Empire, but even so, the reaction of users who chose the Harmel Empire was more intense than ever because the punishment for failure was so severe that it was difficult to y the game. -??? what''s this? Are you feeding this as a penalty? -Aren''t you crazy bastards? It sounds like it''s just about quitting the game. -No, really, let''s see, the users look like hogu bastards, but really. - Ha ha ha ha ha It''s not a month, is it a year? Are they really crazy? The Bamal Empire and the Mage Tower. Sanctions fed by the two forces that exert the strongest influence on the two continents of Arcadia. In a short period of time, less than an hour after the penalty was applied due to the shockwave, rted reports began pouring in. - Ha ha ha ha 2.5 gold per emotion scroll. fuck does this make sense - The items sold yesterday are now half price ^^. Are you saying all merchants should quit? -I came to the Mage Tower to learn magic, but no one treats me as a traitor. This is X, right? - The hidden quest given by the magic tower flew away;; is this a real story? - A kid walking down the street sees me and suddenly spits and turns around. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha? -PK 1 month detention is now 10 months jam hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Eva tuna kkongchinde very ;; Sensitivity at its worst. And countless quests that were going on together and users who lost trust. In addition, it is an extreme situation where you have to buy even the daily necessities you normally buy at a huge price and sell the acquired items at shit prices. In addition, this miserable situation in which an NPC on the road spits with a disgusted face and turns around gave a very dirty feeling that only those who have experienced it can know. Even this alone made them angry, but there was something else that was more disrespectful than this. -Unique items can also be exchanged with contributions to the Oh Bamal Empire. -What is unique? lol. Are there many epic items? -and! The magic tower solves the 5th circle magic like this? -Fuck the 6th circle! What was freed in return for 3 years of very? Honey! Very few (?) users who stood on the side of the Barmal Empire. Those who were estimated to be only 14% of all users received huge rewards from the Barmal Empire and the Mage Tower. -Wow, if the contribution is over 500,000, you can get a noble title, right? -Are you saying that the acquisition of a noble title is broken like this here? -Deck Fan Mu I heard you received a territory from the Bamal Empire this time as a contribution? -???? real? -Let''s go into the channel of those who are more sexually inclined. Those who rushed to Deckfanmu''s channel at those words. The video they found there was the image of Arthur giving a victory speech on top of the fortress of the Peyton estate, which was once the main granary of the Eastern Harmel Empire and was evaluated as an egg yolk. [From now on, this is the hideout of our deck fan dance! From now on, instead of the old guild hideout, let''s spread out our little wishes(?) for Dex-sama, fluttering our ck panties here!] [ ck ! Deck Fan Mu took part of the territory. Watching their video, the guild leaders of the main guilds in Korea, including the referee, ran wild. why! Why are these bastards crazy about those panties, why are they in the #1 guild! Fuck..... Even those crazy perverts are doing that..... We are..... Through this main scenario, a swollen dream of acquiring a noble title and arge estate to serve as the guild''s home Guilds that dreamed of. However, the harsh reality that came to them was a bitter defeat and the stigma of a loser that would not be erased for a year. * * * Arcadia''s 4th main scenario Continental War. It was shocking that the Harmel camp, which had already been chosen by the majority of users, was defeated, but everyone was shocked by the gamepany''s move to impose a huge penalty on the defeated camp. You''re doing this...? really?'' A situation where the game is almost impossible to y, even if it is a situation where you have to endure a year of huge unfairness. That''s why the media eagerly bit into this roaring rice cake. -Shock. Users receiving pickbap in the game. -If you twist it, fold it? Consumers who resent the operation of thest resort. - Partial operation. Are you preparing for a ss actionwsuit against the Harmel Empire? -Exceeded 5 million signatures on Arcadia sanctions-rted petitions. Not at the level of asking for a refund to quit the game, but rather sharpening their swords of anger by saying they will destroy Arcadia. That''s why the atmosphere of cursing thepany is getting hotter. Arcadia Co., Ltd. directly stepped forward and held a press conference to announce its official position on the situation. And at that press conference, the spokesperson gave a simr response to the previous one. [As I said before, Arcadia''s NPCs are designed to actively and autonomously create quests ording to the basic settings and surrounding circumstances. I will emphasize once again that this scenario is not at all nned and developed by Arcadia Co., Ltd.] In response to reporters'' questions about the reason for presenting such a dead end scenario, the situation was resolved with an excuse simr to the past. Arcadia Co., Ltd. The spokesperson repeatedly said two or three times that it was absolutely not what they had nned, leaving all of this responsibility to someone else. [We estimate that the main cause of the triggering of this scenario is the huge amount of dragon bones that GM''spany handed over to the Harmel Empire. The background of Prince Dmitri I of the Harmel Empire, whopeted for the session to the throne, and his militant conquering monarchic tendency created a synergistic effect and set out to conquer the continent. Of course, in the process, we also confirmed the circumstances in which GM''s upper ranks intervened and attracted manyrge guilds and users to the Harmel Empire.] The crisis management response team wrapped their heads and tried to think about how to avoid being criticized by people. With the materials they carefully selected and pulled out while grinding their souls, the spokesperson began to turn the arrows of all those who were angry about this incident toward Ammon with all his heart and soul. [I personally feel sorry for all of you who are angry about the penalty imposed, and I fully understand. However, it was a disadvantageous war from the beginning, and considering the situation of the Barmal Empire, which barely survived a crisis close to destruction, I would like you to know that the current penalty imposed on users is actually a matter that thepany has mitigated and coordinated as much as possible. ] A penalty created by executive director Han and general manager Kang Tae-hoon, mitigating and mitigating while putting on a desperate buttock show that they dare not see with both eyes open. It was something that could not be disclosed to the public, but it was the result of everyone in Arcadia''s Korean branch putting their best effort in order to end this penalty to this extent. So the spokesperson gnashed his teeth and told everyone who might be watching his story. [It is none other than the GM Group who should be held ountable for the damage you have suffered as a result of this scenario. We confirmed that IPs presumed to be rted to the GM Merchant Group posted collective incitement articles on Arfandia''s data server. In addition, when things unexpectedly took a turn for the GM, thepany sold all of its assets and went into hiding. I confirmed that the top manager of GM''s top management has even deleted the ount.] What? Awesome..... Hey, write an article quickly! This is definitely a scoop. But isnt this personal information? The revtions came from walking a tightrope between illegal and legal, which seemed to include personal information that should not be officially disclosed. But even so, he was speaking on behalf of all the executives and staff of Arcadia''s Korean branch. [This scenario is a tragedy caused entirely by the GM Group''s ugly desire.] This is all because of the GM Group. Chapter 229 229 Fall of an Empire (6) [This scenario is entirely a tragedy caused by the ugly desire of the GM Group.] A remark made by the official spokesperson of Arcadia Co., Ltd. at a press conference where even reporters from terrestrial, public, cable, and foreign broadcasting stations gathered like bees. . Since the words were spoken at an official meeting, not at any drinking party or dinner party, the story he spoke began to spread all over the media in less than 30 minutes. - Worst scam ever. The GM group that started a war and fled. - The top of the GM that disappeared without a trace. Deleting the top giving character? The ugly bare face of GM Group. -Arge corporation that promotes turmoil in the game. The devil of virtual reality capitalism? - Signs of a widespread boycott against the GM group. GM in crisis. devil of capitalism. Cold-blooded, blinded by money. war criminals. Starting with war crimepanies, the media started attacking the GM group using all sorts of negative words. The GM Group urgently responded to the reaction of the media, which moved in an orderly manner as if it had been instigated by someone. [The GM Group is conducting its own investigation into what is currently being reported in the media. Regarding this, we will express our position after figuring out the relevant factster. Until then, we respectfully ask the media and reporters to refrain from any spective articles or reports, and we will respond with strong legal measures without any leniency to the spread of false information or vicious defamation.] Officially neither positive nor negative The GM Group bought time with the NCND (Neither Confirm Nor Deny) strategy. And they called the media outlets that had their influence and put as much pressure as possible to take down all rted articles. Is this director in his right mind? How many advertisements are we running right now, and do you post articles with this kind of content? If you don''t want to turn the entire GM group into an enemy, get down right now! [I''m sorry, but that''s impossible this time.] Kang Min-hyeok, the right-hand man of Chairman Choi Chun-shik and who oversees everything in the GM Group on behalf of Chairman Choi Chun-shik. His eyes shone coldly at the words of the news director who rejected his request to convey the will of Choi Chun-shik, the group''s second-ranked leader. Are you sure you want to go all the way? [This is already beyond my authority. Doesn''t the Executive Director know that if it was possible in my line, I would have prevented it from being reported in the first ce.] He is the current director of news at KBC, thergest terrestrial broadcasting station in Korea, and a schrship student at GM Group. Executive Director Kang Min-hyeok''s momentum subtly softened as he had pledged allegiance to the GM Group and had faithfully cooperated for the group''s interests. What do you mean? Are you out of your powers? The news director who has the authority to manage and control all news and articles written in the name of KBC. Even though he was in a position with such powerful authority and influence, saying that he could not use any power was no different from saying that the higher up was involved. [The boss is interested in this matter. It seems that the Azin Group intervened.] Ajin Group? The GM Group, which ranks 4th in the Korean business world. Although they boasted a strong influence in all areas of society, Ah Jin, who was the number one in the business world, was also a formidable force, so he was forced to be rtively pushed out in this kind of personal battle. The Azin Group intervened...? [That''s right. It''s not clear what''s going on there... ording to rumors floating around here and there...] Maybe it''s information he''s not sure about, but the news director blurs out his words in a voice that''s not confident. Executive Director Kang Min-hyeok said as if he didn''t care about his words. What are the rumors? [That''s... There was pressure from the Blue House for this report...] The Blue House. The GM Group, which already received direct pressure from President Jeon Ki-chan on this incident, like threats. Since nothing rted to this was known anywhere, the rumor of Cheong Wa Dae''s intervention mentioned by the director of the press was not something that could be easily ignored. You mean that even the Blue House intervened in this report? [Again, just rumors. No matter how much it is a big topic for the public, the reason for the Blue House to intervene in this kind of media report...] The news director tried to reassure Executive Director Kang Min-hyuk that it would be a rumor, but the director said something, but none of his words reached the ears of Executive Director Kang Min-hyuk. did not Are you saying that the shit rted to this incident... is to be covered by the GM Group...?'' In fact, there were countless ways for the GM Group to respond to the situation in the game that took ce this time. It was possible to cut off the tail by going over to GM''s arbitrary actions, turn it into an operational problem for Arcadia Co., Ltd., or turn the topic around by holding criminal and civil legal responsibilities to those who illegally and openly disclosed personal information to the outside world. . However, the Ajin Group and the Blue House are believed to have been deeply involved in the attack on the GM Group. I don''t know why they protect Arcadia Co., Ltd. to such an extent, but Kang Min-hyeok, executive director, could clearly understand one thing they warned the GM group. That the responsibility and aftermath of this situation should be entirely handled by the GM Group alone. Once... I get it. If there is anything unusual about it, let me know right away. [yes. yes. Of course.] Managing Director Kang Min-hyeok ended the call without being able to publish the article. He sat still for a long time, lost in thought, thinking about this problem, and then stood up with a sigh. Dear Chairman... I need to report it first. A small snowball rolled by the youngest son of Choi Chun-sik, chairman of GM Group. The snowball rolled and rolled until it became a huge snowball that no one could handle. Impressing billions of people with an indelible image that the GM Group is a war-madpany, and shoveling huge and bulky taffy into the mouths of tens of millions of Korean users. * * * The 4th main scenario, which is extremely noisy both in and out of VR. This bloodbath, which will be proudly listed as another Arcadia incident and forever stuffed, ended with the Dragon Bone returning to Jae-Young''s hands. Here... I brought back the Dragonborn. Apple and Lemon received the Dragon Bone from the Mage Tower at Jae-Young''s request. Jaeyoung nodded as he looked at the giant Cervenian''s skull lying on the cart they had pulled. Did you deliver the magic book well? yes. sure. It was true that the value of the 8th circle magic book was far higher than that of the Dragonborn, but there were still dozens of more 8th circle magic books in Cervenian''s library anyway, so Jaeyoung didn''t care much. Rather, he was more interested in the reward he would receive after clearing the sixth mission he received this time, so Jaeyoung muttered as he looked at the Kervenian skull in front of him. Golden Goblin. Whoops. Kill-kil-kil..... Did you call me! master. The warehouse keeper, Golden Goblin, bursts out tearing through space at his call. Jaeyoung calmly pointed to Kervenian''s skull and said to him. Put that in the road storage. All right. Asmanded..... The golden goblin snapped his fingers at Jaeyoung''s words and created a huge hole in the air. And he disappeared into the hole in an instant along with the Dragon Bone that Apple and Lemon hadboriously brought. What the hell is this... What is that...? Apple and Lemon see the Golden Goblin for the first time. The two of them froze in astonishment at the sight of the skull they had dragged along with such great effort that it disappeared in an instant. And at that moment, numerous messages appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The Kervenian''s skull was recovered.] [Mission. 6 has beenpleted.] [Completely satisfied the limiting conditions of the mission.] [Measure the yer''s contribution.] - Recruitment of the guild Deckfanmu'' Bamal Empire. -Concluded a deal with the 5th Mage Tower. - Triggering the massacre'' of the Harmel Empire. -Initiated full-scale intervention by the 5 Magic Towers. -Triggers the quest The Fall of an Empire''. -Bamal Empire''s victory contribution rate... 98%. Jaeyoung, the most important reason why the Bamal Empire was able to win this war and the culprit behind the fall of the Harmel Empire. However, the most interesting fact here was that no one except President Lee Mi-yeon knew that he was the main cause of all this. Hmm... Is this what it means to get things done without a drop of blood on your hands? Along with Jaeyoung''s candid generalment on the mission, which he said was a fun way, huge messages began pouring in front of him. [Historical achievement Completely destroyed an empire that shone brilliantly for hundreds of years.] [ The influence of the Bamal Empire has been strengthened by 85%.] [ The title Savior of the Bamal Empire'' has been acquired.] [The title True Darkness'' has been acquired. .] [The title Empire Destroyer has been acquired.] [The title Distorted Pacifist'' has been obtained. ] However, each of those titles was so bizarre that it was embarrassing to wear it anywhere, so Jae-young, who was checking the rewards, felt so strange that he was confused as to whether this was a reward or a penalty. And he frowned when he saw the title bestowed at the end. [The title Emperor of ck Panties'' has been acquired.] What the fuck? I know roughly why such a shitty title came about, but I still can''t help but swear. It was embarrassing to see more than a million sexually active people openly fluttering their ck panties and shouting their names, but they felt ashamed and wanted to die. Jae-Young has a strong desire to immediately call President Lee Mi-Yeon and protest. However, the rewards that followed were at least normal, so his face was able to loosen up a little. [Acquired 13000000 Contribution.] [You can requestpensation through rted contributions to the Barmal Empire.] [Acquired Probability 3803123.] Contribution 13 million. Probability 3.8 million. The reward for this mission was satisfactory because he obtained a generous amount of contributions to demand anything he wanted from the Barmal Empire, including items, gold, noble title, and territory, and probability, a key stat that could be said to be everything of a wanderer in a turbulent world. And what''s even better... Is that honey? How can you earn so much without using even a single probability? It was the fact that there was no possibility at all that he had exhausted himself this time. 0. Jae-Young clears the mission without using a single skill. Of course, it took a lot of time and the process wasplicated and difficult, but the fact that he could stock up on a considerable amount of probability brought a smile to his face. And Jaeyoung turned his head and looked at Tan and L with a triumphant expression. Did you see it? We can solve the problem peacefully without strong spirit... However, Jaeyoung stopped talking when he saw Tan diligently taking notes and L staring at him pathetically. Then I cautiously approached Tan''s back and examined what he was writing. [Peace soon leads to massive bloodshed. -Important.] [Stupid demons suffer physically. Think about a way to keep your hands from getting blood.] [Give weapons to people who hate each other. Then we fight on our own.] [How to stain the continent with blood without cursing. Isnt that a model of a true devil?] Tan is writing down his experiences in bloody ink while drawing stars. Looking at his notebook, Jaeyoung became curious for a moment. What kind of bullshit that damn devil is talking about himself in hell. Chapter 230 Chapter 230 Industry Rewards The fourth scenario Continental War in the Korean continent aroused great issues, interest, and controversy. This huge incident, which received attention not only in Korea but also around the world, continued to receive media attention even after the scenario was over. [I really don''t think I can understand the thoughts of Arcadia Co., Ltd., the main body that operates this virtual reality called Arcadia. What is the penalty for the losing faction? This just seems like a gamepany lying down and begging consumers for wanting to be criticized.] [I think I heard an interesting rumor about that part. It is said that they study and discuss How can the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. receive criticism on a daily basis?'' Hahaha.] If the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. had heard it, it would have burst intoughter right away. Unexpectedly, however, this joke aroused serious suspicion from people. That would be the case, because the situations that are happening in Arcadia are beyondmon sense no matter how you think about them. There were so many things that couldn''t have happened unless they were determined to prank the users on purpose. [Eh.... For now, let''s move on to that rumor..... With this scenario, the Harmel Empire has copsed to a level close to destruction and the Bamal Empire has emerged. How do you think the situation in the game will change in the future?] The moderator asks a question that mighte out of a discussion about the international situation. However, the game experts gathered here answered the question very seriously. [The Harmel Empire.... No, it''s a kingdom now, right? It will probably fall even further than it is now. Most of the high-ranking nobles were annihted, and not only did they lose most of their military power, but they also paid huge indemnities and lost all of their vast territories.] The Kingdom of Harmel, which almost lost all its bases in this war. For those who did not only perish butpletely lost even the chance of revival, the future was actually set. [In addition, there are many mercenary groups and neighboring kingdoms that havepletely lost contact with the 5 Magic Towers. There seem to be a lot of people grinding their teeth because of the kingdom of Harmel.... I wonder if it will disappear into history sooner orter.] The panels don''t seem to have much disagreement about the fall of the kingdom of Harmel. After sneaking a peek at everyone nodding their heads in agreement, the moderator moved on to the next topic. [The power structure of the entire continent haspletely changed. Is this the same for users? There are a lot of people who have suffered damage because of this penalty problem.] The hottest topic of this main scenario. As soon as the story was mentioned, the panel members began to express their thoughts excitedly with their eyes shining. [The penalty in this scenario is really fatal for users. It''s because you can''t set foot and settle in any ce rted to the Barmal Empire and the Mage Tower. In particr, since both forces have an influence that cannot be ignored, there will be a lot of restrictions in the future.] Users who were penalized in all sorts of tangible and intangible aspects, starting with the basic likability issue, such as quests, hunting, and item trading. It was too much for a penalty for misbehaving a single finger. And the result was another opportunity for others. [In this scenario.... Most of the so-calledrge guilds and rankers fought on the side of the Harmel Empire, and I think their growth will be extremelygging in the future. It will probably show great vtility in the rankings by job or guild rankings.] For various reasons, those who remained neutral in this scenario or those who sided with the Bamal Empire. For them, the one-year penalty period now granted to rivals was a golden time to bridge the gap that had so far opened. And to those words, the moderator also nodded and muttered as if deeply sympathetic. [Still... guild ranking 1st ce won''t change.] [Ah, that''s right. I can''t talk about deck fan dance here. Hmm... From the beginning, that guild took first ce in the guild rankings in a short period of time with an overwhelming number of people, but it didn''t really stand out that much because everyone yed separately and had a strong freewheeling atmosphere.] Twisted love for Dex A gathering of insidious people who harbor . That''s why, unless it was rted to Dex, they were hunting normally, breaking quests, and enjoying free-spirited games, and the guild leader was almost neglected as well, so in fact, its presence was weak enough to be almost nonexistentpared to its scale. But... [But, that huge number of people gathered. With just the fact that a user named Dex asked for it, I threw everything away and ran to help the Barmal Empire, which was at a disadvantage. And the potential that they have been hiding so far... You''ve probably seen it all in the video, so let''s move on.] A panel that clears its throat while talking and omits what it was saying. That would be the case, because the appearances of those shown in this scenario were the scene of group sexual harassment targeting a human being too embarrassingly terrible to mention in an official broadcast broadcast nationwide. [Anyway.... Deck fan.... Thanks to that guild for ying a key role in this scenario, I received a hugend from the Bamal Empire. Arthur, the guild leader, is known to have been given the title of count, and it is probably the first case of acquiring a territory except for the ck me Dragon of Darkness''.] Arthur, who was granted a county along with the title of count . And Deck Fan Mu, whopletely settled there and formed a force. Taken together, one thing seemed certain. [Huh..... In the future, the power of deck fan dance will be stronger than now. I wondered what kind of joke this was when I saw the name... It seems to be a great guild in many ways.] A guild that started with half concept and half sincerity. However, this deck fan dance has grown to a level that no one can surpass and has be the best guild representing the Korean continent. Of course, seeing this situation, Jaeyoung would have let out a deep sigh andmented the world filled with these maddened sex addicts. [I wonder if the world in the game is such a detailed andplex way of reflecting our reality. It was a really interesting topic. It''s also really impressive to see people belonging to that group called Deck Fan Dance jumping for the benefit of the organization rather than their individual interests.] The moderator looks at them as if he were a patriot saving a country in crisis. In response to his personal impressions, a panelist looked at him with a strange expression and said, [Uh... that''s not it.] [Yeah...?] [Those bastards... Hmmm. sorry. They jumped into this scenario purely for personal self-interest. Actually, I wasn''t going to tell this story, but I can''t help but mention it because I''m afraid there might be viewers who misunderstand them because I personally beautify them. Seeing his serious face, the moderator asked with a curious face. [What do you mean...?] And the panel answered that question. [Panty brand.] [.....] And the host who fell silent. He put on an indescribable expression and pursed his lips as he pondered what to say. [In the first ce, there was only one thing that the sexual desire group wanted. He didn''t sacrifice himself and be loyal for the sake of some grand ideal or organization''s sess...] He speaks as if never misunderstandings and clearly shows his disgust. He said to the presenter, who lookedpletely bewildered. [I did this because I wanted to know the brand of panties that user named Dex was wearing.] These bastards are just ugly dyssexuals who can''t be rehabilitated. * * * What color are Dex''s panties?''. Aka Deck Fan Mu. It was a fact that no one could deny that they were the protagonists of this scenario and who greatly helped Jae-young, but Jae-young still felt dizzy when he saw the people lying on his channel and protesting. - rify! - rify! - rify! Those whoy down to exin again. However, unlike before, Jae-young, who knew very well what they were asking for an exnation, let out a deep sigh. Haa... that''s what a real contract with the devil is like. The result of holding hands with beings who should never hold hands. Looking at it, Jaeyoung felt really mncholic, with irritation, anger, and even a strange sense of shame. Because they''re not the ones who will back down just because they''re hiding and enduring... Jae-young, who had already been consistent with no response for nearly ten years. However, he made up his mind after thinking for a long time, knowing that even such ignoring would not work for perverts who were happy to say that it was an industry reward. Never again... see if you do business with these bastards. So, Jaeyoung, ovee with a strange sense of defeat, used Arpandia''s channel notification function for the first time and shut down theputer, leaving only one brief phrase. [Panty brand I wear: Elvin Klein] An underwearpany well known to the public as a so-called famous brand. In fact, it was thepany''s most passable and ordinary product, which Jaeyoung was also wearing, but when this notice was posted, Deck Fan Mu began to be engulfed in madness. -Kiaaaaaang! I finally found out! Alvin Klein!!!!! -As expected..... Our Dex Jianung wears popr and popr underwear? ? -Elvin Klein..... ck..... Memo..... -Hyung!!!!!!! I wear them too! Unbelievable! i love it! You were wearing the same thing as your brother! -Hey, young pre-criminals. Stop it. -Wow..... I really think you guys need permanent istion from this society? Deck fan dances go crazy saying it''s okay to die after receiving such an unprecedented industry award. And among them, Mingyu, a big fan of Dex, was also included. Did Dex-hyung wear Alvin Klein...? At those words, Min-gyu hurriedly rummaged through the basket of underwear neatly ced under his bed. He soon realized The fact that out of the countless ck panties he had bought, not a single one was from Alvin Klein. Damn it. Haven''t you been wearing only useless things up until now? Mingyu frowns and hurriedly picks up his phone. He hurriedly flicked his fingers and attempted to ess the homepage of Alvin Klein. To buy the same panties Dex is wearing. Eh? what''s this....? Mingyu manages to ess the homepage after a long dy. He quickly searched for ck panties and couldn''t help but be taken aback by the sight that appeared. [Sold out] The underwear of other colors are fine, but only the ck panties are all sold out. From the smallest to the extrarge. It''s literally a situation where all the stock has dried up. Seeing this, Mingyu and other deck fans were frustrated, but Alvin Klein let out a shout of joy. what! What the hell is this? Why are there so many orders for ck panties? Elvin Klein, the world''s leading underwearpany. For the first time in their history, they were stunned by the insane amount of orders and felt it with their own bodies. The reality of the ck'' trend that has dominated the underwear market recently. The fear of the deck fan dance, a group of maddened sexual predators. Chapter 231 Chapter 231 Strange Omen At the time Arcadia was released, a prominent American sociologist said. [In the distant future, mankind will remember this day as an important historical day in world history. As the starting point of the first virtual reality technology and as a moment of cataclysm that brought about revolutionary changes in all areas of human life.] The prophecy that before and after the release of Arcadia will be a huge turning point in world history, to the extent that human history must be divided. And the prophecy came true very urately. [This really makes no sense. Basic scientific research, which is the foundation of existing virtual reality technology, is only at a primitive and basic level. In particr, in the case of biological research rted to the brain, it is a nk te. But... how can a virtual reality technology that perfectly implements the human five sensese out? Didn''t they abduct aliens from somewhere?] It is a product of cutting-edge science created bybining technologies from various fields. The things applied to Arcadia were at a level estimated to exceed the existing technology by at least a century, so schrs around the world could not help but be astonished. I can''t believe it..... The things I''ve been researching so far are just trash..... An old professor who devoted his life to studying human brain neurology said after experiencing Arcadia. And this wasn''t just for one person. This makes sense! How much money did we invest in this project? It was a big deal. The government willpletely stop the research project itself. Companies that invested a lot of money to implement augmented reality and primitive virtual reality shed bloody tears, and government projects that invested in rted basic research were all scrapped. Arcadia appeared with an overwhelming and superior technology gap thatpletely took away the will topete. Therefore, it is only natural that Arcadia Co., Ltd., which has nopetitors or substitutes, eats up the virtual reality industry all over the world by itself, but those who are dissatisfied with this have begun to appear one after another. The Chinese government is drooling over virtual reality technology more than anyone else. Arcadia and virtual reality technology have been settled inside China by exceptionally exempting all kinds of difficult regtions applied to foreignpanies, but Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s closed move that never cooperates with the outside has begun to reveal its ambition. I think it is a big problem for Arcadia Co., Ltd. to exercisepletely exclusive and superior rights in the virtual reality market and the entire industry that is growing explosively every day. We hope that we can cooperate with Chinesepanies with excellent rted technologies to mutually benefit and further prosper the virtual reality industry. Also, I would like you to note that the preferential treatment of exceptional exemptions from restrictions on business activities in China will not apply indefinitely. The Chinese government tantly threatens to reapply the restrictions at any time. And at the same time, those who want to put a spoon in the virtual reality industry also voiced their voices. There are too many toxic uses in the contract for the use of Lucid Dream, a virtual reality integrated production machine. Why should the operation and management rights of virtual reality services produced by otherpanies be entirely handed over to Arcadia Co., Ltd.? It is natural to hand over the management and operation rights to the original authors who produced original content. Companies that want to independently operate and manage content created using Lucid Dream. They couldn''t be happy with Arcadia''s management policy of trying to control everything in their hands, so they tried to put pressure on them using all avable means. -Virtual reality industry stained with monopoly. Is it okay as it is? - Forced unfair contracts? of a global conglomerate. Feature Article! -Your talent surpasses yourpetitors, and Arcadia Co., Ltd. takes the money? Bubbling industry - soaring sudden deaths. Is virtual reality the cause? Vivid testimonies of the victims who appear one after another. -The first confirmation of the possibility of causing fatal damage to the brain with virtual reality technology. Shock! Those who used the media, which was entangled in all kinds of interests, to pour out negative articles and systematically spread conspiracy theories. However, Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s response to these tricks was firm. [I think that the safety of virtual reality technology has been sufficiently proven through the extensive clinical trial data conducted by Silico and the intensive human harmfulness test conducted by the FDA. Arcadia Co., Ltd. will mobilize all possible legal means to punish the act of spreading conspiracy theories by mentioning unconfirmed cases.] Regardless of who the target is, they wield a stern mace and go into an all-out war . Arcadia Co., Ltd. Therefore, issues rted to virtual reality have been noisy every day without a windy day in any country, including Korea. Japan, a country passionately immersed in virtual reality, even has statistics showing that 80% of the poption is ying Arcadia. Like Anhamuin''s Chinese government, it did not openly show greed for virtual reality technology that built Arcadia, but the Japanese government also secretly harbored greed for virtual reality technology, which took astronomical profits in the name of usage fees. Report Director Yasuhiros progress. Hajigen Shato is the head of the Cab Investigation Office, which oversees Japan''s internal and external information. He just returned from attending the National Security Council hosted by Prime Minister Abin. Director Yasuhiro then started reporting with a tense face and a disciplined voice. To date, we have recruited about 50 Japanese programmers or people with outstanding careers inputer science as spies. We are trying to figure out how to mobilize the maximum avable resources to send them to Korea so that they can enter Arcadia. Director Yasuhiro selected outstanding talents rted toputers and programming and sent them to Korea. In arge-scale operation to steal virtual reality technology from Arcadia''s Korean branch, he nned to nt industrial espionage to extract internal data in a ssic but surefire way. But his perfect n ran into trouble from the start. By the way... why hasnt anyone gotten into thatpany yet? Carefully selected talents who have a huge reputation in Japanese conglomerates and academia. Although they were influential enough to be picked up by famous universities andpanies around the world, Arcadia was strangely lukewarm about their desire to get a job. [Hmm..... We don''t hire that way... First of all, you''re famous, so leave your resume behind. I''ll tell you what I''m talking about above.] Those who snort and ignore even the Nobel Prize winners who are offered hundreds of billions of won in annual sries. Director Yasuhiro, who thought that it would be easy to join thepany if he put in his resume, only then realized the fear of Arcadia''s notorious recruiting method. [What is Arcadia''s recruitment criteria? There is no open bond , no job postings, and no clear standards for entrance exams, as far as I know. Arcadia Co., Ltd. is flocking to this endlessly. However, despite countless inquiries from people asking what the hiring criteria were, they consistently refused to respond, so eventually even the members of the National Assembly stepped forward and questioned them. [As a globalpany that generates huge sales and operating profits in Korea, I think it is important for Arcadia Co., Ltd. to fulfill its responsibilities as a basicpany in this society. But why are you ignoring the voices of young people who want to work for yourpany and develop their dreams? Yes?] The National Assembly, where a hearing was held on the harm of virtual reality technology to the human body. However, most of the questions asked to President Lee Mi-yeon, who was called there as a witness, were far from the harmful effects of virtual reality. [Young people in Korea are frustrated. Why can''t you think of wiping away their tears? Don''t you think of Arcadia reaching out to us so that we can disclose our recruitment standards transparently like otherpanies and instill dreams in our society''s young people!] Admonish by saying what you want to say rather than asking questions Members of Parliament who do. President Lee Mi-yeon smiled brightly and spoke to the camera that was ryed in real time to those who overdo it to gain a share in approval ratings and recognition by scratching the itchy spots of young people. [Um..... What you just said is too far off the subject of this hearing and doesn''t seem like a question, but I know what you''re talking about, so I''ll give you an answer.] [What... what...? ] Lee Mi-yeon, now over 30, became the president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Seeing that the young woman spoke her words confidently without backing down, the old member of the National Assembly red at her with a fierce look, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not hesitate at all and said to the camera that was filming her. [Arcadia Co., Ltd. is a strictly privatepany and has the right to determine the employment method ording to its own internal regtions for efficient management and excellent human resource management. I wonder if Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s private recruitment method being mentioned at the hearing here itself is excessive intervention.] Although I tried to paraphrase it as much as possible, President Mi-yeon Lee''s words can be easily abbreviated as It''s my opinion, so don''t meddle''. At her remarks, shouts began toe and go from all over the hearing room. [That''s that... That''s cheeky...] [And you''re Korean? Huh?] Members of the National Assembly ardently represent the pain of young people by ming here and there. However, in front of them, President Lee Mi-yeon smiled brightly and said. Leave the management of thepany to me, the president. Shouldn''twmakers be more concerned about running state affairs first? As you said, you have to wipe away the tears of young people who are suffering from unemployment and care for them. It''s not like you''re going to mobilize all the people who don''t have any connections here and there to ask for a favor, saying how to insert children who don''t even have skills in ourpany. Do you know how many times I hearints from the HR team about not being able to work because of thewmakers?] [ What?] [What are you talking about right now!] [Who are you talking about? Can you tell me which member of parliament you are? Yes?] President Lee Mi-yeon threw a nuclear bomb into the hearing with a smile. At her remarks, the hearing hall was turned into a mess by excited reporters. [Quiet! Be quiet!] [These people...? What are you doing right now!] [Get everything out right now! Take a break! I will take a break!] Reporters beg to tell President Mi-yeon Lee the name of the member of the National Assembly who asked for a job offer. And the struggle of the members of the National Assembly to get these reporters away from her somehow and block the mouth of President Lee Mi-yeon began. Arcadia''s hearing led to such a catastrophe. Even after that, Arcadia Co., Ltd. was hiring people at will based on hiring standards that no one knew. The n is slower than I thought... A n to nt industrial spies inside. Of course, that method was effective, but Prime Minister Abin''s patience was at its limit, so Chateau''s expression as he listened to Director Yasuhiro''s report was not so bright. Please wait a little longer. Since they are outstanding talents, I''m sure even one of them will join thepany... Director Yasuhiro asks for more time. However, Chateau cut off his words and said. No, Prime Minister wants immediate and tangible results. He came crashing down right before the bout. He felt with his whole body that the seat he was sitting in could be endangered if he dragged it out for more than this time, so he said with a sh in his eyes. Lets go a little more aggressive. yes....? Conceive an operation for direct technology theft. Anyway, it seems that the Prime Minister wants to convey the will of our Japanese government to the Korean government through this incident. Korea-Japan rtions are already on the verge of catastrophe. Chateau said with a strange smile, feeling the need to create new tension in diplomatic rtions, which were deteriorating due to the stubborn attitude of the former administration. Don''t worry about repercussions, prepare something powerful. With a sure-fire strategy that will give the damnpany and the Korean government a proper blow. Chapter 232 Chapter 232 The boss is mad! Users who have suffered tremendous damage due to this main scenario. All employees of Arcadia, including the crisis management and response team, put all their efforts and med the GM group, but many still cursed Arcadia. -No, no matter what the cause, it''s the executives who give the penalty. -what? I want you to think about the position of the Bamal Empire? No, why do you think of the NPCs in the game? -You just don''t want to change these bastards? Look at all the ridiculous excuses. - You guys are perverted bastards who get a sense of joy while watching real users fuck you, damn you bastards. - I''m really tired of sales with guts. Are you saying that there are no virtual reality games other than you? An excuse that doesn''t even go to bed with the general public. This is also because no one could have thought that the management team would not have actual in-game management rights for the games they create and operate. That''s why the staff vomited a tantrum at the magic of the users who made them orphans with no parents after sitting still, and at the vicious curses they spat out. No fuck! Is this our fault? Deputy Assistant Manager Yang-Cheol Cho of the Crisis Management and Response Team received over 10int calls in the morning and suffered all sorts of stress and mental harassment. As soon as it was lunchtime, he went up to the roof and kicked the can of soda over and over and shouted. It''s not a scenario we made up! They yed drums and drums in the game among themselves, then made a mess, and why are they telling us to take responsibility! Caang. Aaaaaaaaaaaa! fuck! Apany like this X! He throws a can over that rooftop railing and throws a lion''s roar at the world as if roaring. Next to him, assistant manager Park Chang-hoon, a colleague in the same department,forted him by sipping coffee. Hey, I know youre in a bad mood, but still, kill your temper. What if someone hears it? No, arent you angry? Why are you so grave? Im not angry. I''m angry, what can I do? It''s not like I can exin the situation inside thepany in detail. Arcadia does not grant any authority to its employees, but only allows ess to internal data in the game. As a result, they were only given the role of an omniscient observer of what was happening in the Korean continent, and they did not have the right to intervene or interfere no matter what situation urred in it. If youre going to do this, why do you really need us? If the writers called the headquarters'' in the US were thinking of doing everything, why did they set up branches for each country? This is nothing more or less than just a meat shield to get scolded for by those bastards at headquarters. The resentment that has been piling up in the heart of assistant manager Cho Yang-cheol for a long time. It was about his own miserable situation and helplessness of being able to deal with only angry customers without any authority, btedly figuring out the truth about what was happening in the game and clearing up the huge shit. I like everything about the good sry and welfare system. But shouldn''t you feel like you''re doing real work? When an incident happens, you just have to do everything you are told to do from above, running back and forth from then on, without any division of work by department, but does this make sense inmon sense? No, why do we have to respond toints that the customer satisfaction service team should do? From the moment an emergency breaks out in the Korean branch, the crisis management response team has to be an all-rounder and deal with all kinds of tasks from various departments together. There were many cases where I was put in an ambiguous situation because I was in a situation where I was not affiliated with either, so there were many cases where I was always in charge of difficult and arduous work. Haa... Just wait until the next personnel appointment. If you strongly request it, it will be sent to another department. Assistant manager Park Chang-hoon tries tofort him by asking him to be patient a little longer. He seemed to be pinning all his hopes on the personnel transfer season, which was just a few months away, but assistant manager Yang-cheol Cho had a different idea. Other departments? Hey, are you saying this because you dont know how other teams view our team? living hell. Overtime swamp. A gathering of home breakers. Due to the characteristics of the Korean continent, where incidents and idents never end, the crisis management response team boasts tremendous work intensity and atrocious working hours. That is why it has long been treated as a bomb-like department that all executives and staff are reluctant to do. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa people in other departments who are trying to avoid going to the crisis management response team by all means. Of course, that doesn''t mean that there will be no personnel transfer at all, but it was clear that only some of them would escape this hell and someone would have to remain in this department, so their faces got darker and darker. Lets stop talking about depressing stories and lets go eat. Listening to you makes me feel more fucked up. I haven''t even eaten lunch yet. At Changhun''s words, Yangcheol nodded and said. Yeah..... Its like X, but shall we have a drink secretly? Crazy guy... I have to deal with the truth customers again in the afternoon. Would you like to get drunk and answer the phone? How are you? Anyway, we have to be quiet and listen to them swear. Well... I think that would be better than listening with sober mind... Manager Kang Tae-hoon said that if he heard it, the two of them left the rooftop to eat. The two of them didn''t even notice until the moment they closed the door and turned around. The fact that even before they came, there was already someone on the roof who had forgotten his lunch and was enjoying his leisure time alone. Hmm..... The crisis management response team must have a bad reputation... CEO Lee Mi-yeon mumbles over her homemade rice balls. Alice spoke through her smartphone to her self-talk. [This is a problem caused by a lot of sudden changes in the Korean continent. ording to the data I analyzed, the imbnce of work intensity is at a serious level.] ording to its original purpose, the Crisis Management Response Team should be a department where busy timese from time to time after going through a leisurely daily life. The cycle of work intensity to return to the strong weak weak weak was strangely applied to them as strong, weak, weak, weak, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, weak, weak. This..... I should also reflect a little, right? Because I was so focused on other things, I didnt pay much attention to my internal staff. As the president, listening to and taking action on the grievances and difficulties of subordinates is also a job that a manager should do as a matter of course. That''s why she was filled with the will that had been rising deep in her heart for the first time in a long time, and she stood up with a rice ball in her mouth. I have to deal with this problem first. [May I ask how you n to handle it?] Huh? Why? Alice suddenly asks for a concrete n. When President Lee Mi-yeon asked her question with a puzzled expression, Ellis said while disying some data on her cell phone. [This is an anonymous survey on job satisfaction conducted in-house recently. I am asking because there is an issue rted to the manager among the difficulties that arose there.] I don''t know when it was done, but she asked about the story of a job satisfaction survey and the fact that she was mentioned. why? What came out? Miyeon asked without thinking out of curiosity. To her, Alice told her the truth as it was without adding or subtracting the slightest bit, and mmed the fact hard into her stomach. [There were 332 opinions saying, I hope the boss doesn''t break in without saying anything.'' This is an issue that ounts for 45% of the dissatisfaction factors, and in other words, it is judged that the executives and employees prefer that the manager does nothing.] What....? Why the hell...? Lee Mi-yeon always traveled around thepany, listening to the grievances of various employees and taking pride in working hard for them. However, at the candid opinions of the staff who seemed to disagree with her thoughts, she opened her mouth in a daze with a slightly shocked expression. [I''ll summarize the causes I analyzed.] In that way, Alice began to organize the achievements (?) of President Lee Mi-yeon one by one. And as she checked them one by one, she finally realized. The fact that he wasn''t really that good of a boss. [Because of the slime, the beginner vige has been destroyed as of the current time. Please submit a report on the n to resolve this issue and what will happen in the future.] [We will temporarily remove the death penalty for users with evil tendencies. Wouldn''t it be better to fight each other bloody and cool off?] [Yes, reporter. The continent of Arcadia, which is divided into 8 parts, is actually operated as a single server.] [Jukchang Daejeon I think this will be novel and fresh.... What do you think? yes? Do you like it? Ho Ho. Then let''s go ahead with an event with this.] [Infinite freedom, infinite possibilities.] [I won''t be strengthening your management authority. So wake up.] Instead of lightening or making the work of her subordinates easier, she insulted them by pouring oil on the burning firewood and even dancing with a fan. Of course, it wasn''t intentional, but from the third person''s point of view, she was nothing more than a vicious boss who was shitting on the sidelines, even though she couldn''t help her employees. Hoho..... Hohoho..... CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who seems shocked by the harsh reality that is hard to ept. To her, Alice asked dryly, without any emotion. [The stress level was detected at 94% in the sound ofughter. Are you okay?] Elise''s question was confused whether she was asking knowingly or genuinely worried. In response to her question, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her head with a strangely uneasy smile. Yeah, Im fine, dont worry. I just didn''t know what the staff usually think of me, but I''m starting to think a lot. I really need to reflect. It didn''t look like that at all, but President Lee Mi-yeon muttered that she should reflect on herself. Alice asked her. [Then, are you going to do nothing from now on as the employees want?] Oh, what do you mean by that? Your name is the president, but youre not doing anything? When asked if they would not interfere as they wished, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a strangely evil smile. From now on, I have to work even harder than I do now until the other employees understand my heart. President Lee Mi-yeon is determined to work harder than she is currently doing. And she went straight to the president''s office and started typing something for a long time while tapping the keyboard for the first time in a while. A few hourster, looking at the work he hadpleted with a strangely satisfied face, he picked up the receiver. yes. It''s me. It''s nothing special... Would you like toe to my room now? President Lee Mi-yeon calls someone through thepanywork. Shortly thereafter, the executive director, who had been appointed with a puzzled face, entered his room. Did you call me, sir? Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han has a suspicious look on his face as President Lee Mi-yeon rarely calls him first. President Lee Mi-yeon smiled broadly at him and handed him a thin n. Oh, its no different. Please refer this to the Crisis Management Response Team. Crisis... Management Response Team? yes. Wasn''t it the department that nned the scenario before? Its something Ive been nning for a long time, so please take a look at it. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han seemed to have a strange sense of anxiety when he heard that President Lee Mi-yeon nned something. When he inadvertently tried to remove the white cover, President Lee Mi-yeon struck first. Please tell me that I wish you well. I''m really looking forward to it. Ah yes. All right. We will deliver it right away and deal with it. CEO Lee Mi-yeon waved her hand with a smile at those words. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han stepped out of the office, tilting his head at her order to celebrate. And he muttered with a curious face. What kind of wind suddenly blows and you''re like that? At the same time, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon inadvertently turned over the first page and checked the title. And he shouted, forgetting that he was right in front of the president''s office. What the fuck! what''s this! Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon shouted in such a loud voice that even the secretary who was waiting in front of the president''s office looked at him in amazement. In his wide-open eyes, the title of the matter that President Lee Mi-yeon nned was clearlying into his eyes. [Korean Continental Event n.] [Jukchang Daejeon Season 2.] Chapter 233 Chapter 233 The boss is... bad! Crisis Management Response Team of Arcadia Korea Branch. They gathered in one ce with serious expressions and started a serious discussion. Boss... what the hell does this mean? A nning document that the executive director, who rmended that he review it, threw it to general manager Kang Tae-hoon. It was only a short idea of a few pages, but the contents contained in it were unconventional contents that could upset the entirepany, so everyone was shocked. [Jukchang Daejeon Season 2] Arcadia Korea Branch.... A taboo word that should never be mentioned, especially in front of Executive Director Myunghan Kwon, General Manager Taehun Kang, and the Crisis Management Response Team. Bamboo spear. It was the worst event in history, and it was an incident that caused such an enormous aftermath that it is still talked about. In particr, bamboo spears leaked outside due to apletely unexpected failure of nning intention brought a tremendous catastrophe to the Japanese branch and those ying in the Japanese maind. . That''s why, looking at the n on the desk, they looked like they couldn''t understand and said as if they had made a promise. This... Did the boss really n it for you to review? No, what kind of hidden camera is this by any chance? Are you really going to do that crazy event again? Are you really sane... Ha... All members of the Crisis Management Response Team have a strong urge to run right away and show their passion as a group, asking what kind of damn guy made this kind of trash into a n. However, when I saw the name and position of the author clearly written right below the title of this proposal, I had no choice but to suppress that desire with all my might. [President Lee Mi-yeon] It is not a new employee full of enthusiasm and no concept, but the n of the president who is in charge of thispany and all branches around the world. No one had the power to simply shred it in a shredder and cover it with something that didn''t even exist, so only a sigh came out of the mouths of the staff on the crisis management and response team. Haa..... I think there will be a real uproar if I bring up the story of bamboo spears again..... What is the real intention of this, manager? Do you really think the event was fun, boss? This.... Do you think the realpany could be destroyed if done wrong? The Korean continent, where the aftermath of the fourth main scenario has notpletely gone yet. In a situation where most users have to endure enormous penalties for a long time of one year, CEO Lee Mi-yeon''s move to bring out the worst event in history, which has only been over for half a year, is so unconventional that no one can understand. was Aren''t you really determined to ruin thepany?'' Rumors that are secretly spreading inside thepany. It is an unrealistic story that President Lee Mi-yeon is actually an industrial spy who has been instigated for some reason and is leading the virtual reality game to ruin through secret and subtle means to ruin it. Most of the executives and employees dismissed the rumor as nonsense, but the n for the Jukchang Daejeon now in front of them made them think that the rumor might not be true. First of all... since the boss gave me a n to review... lets review it. Director Kang Tae-hun sighs and opens his mouth. And the entire team, including him, began to look at the issues nned by President Lee Mi-yeon. And as they read the proposal, their expressions became more and more serious. Um... are you serious about this now? Aren''t you kidding me boss? No... why the hell are you creating such a disturbance? Besides... isn''t this title proposed here almost humiliating from the point of view of maind Japan? More than that, why is the boss so obsessed with bamboo spears? Detailed nning of the event prepared by President Lee Mi-yeon. Those who seriously reviewed it one by one simply saw the dangerous bombs and problems that were filled with immeasurable amounts from beginning to end, and their faces turned white. ''You and I, and I, and the dragon, one blow... The Great Spear Battle is back!'' Will people see this and go crazy about this event? For some reason, Im really worried that hell charge into thepany with a bamboo spear. A title that is no different from the previous one. However, it is a dizzying phrase that seems to have more people who are going to rush at it with crab foam asking if it is insulting rather than going crazy after seeing this. And this was only a moderate levelpared to the problems that were scattered. You can strengthen your bamboo spear by the number of enemies you killed with your own bamboo spear. After the event ends, you can freely use your enhanced bamboo spear on the continent of Arcadia for one month in real time. Is this... really crazy? It didn''t contain details about the strengthening figures, but they were roughly drawing the future that would happen with this event. -Jukchang! Kill it!!!! -Everyone will be equal in front of the bamboo spear!!! -It''s time for a revolution! Comrades! Everyone listen to the bamboo spear!!!! Jukchang Taiping Movement. Jukchang Revolutionary Corps. Strangely, users who seem to go crazy saying that a revolution is about to happen when they see bamboo spears. An employee who remembered their appearance said. At the previous event, we already detected arge-scale movement of users gathering and taking collective action in rtion to bamboo spears. Of course, after the event, they returned to normal, but... All event participants were given reinforced bamboo spears and sent back to the continent of Arcadia...? I''m sure this is going to cause another major ident, right? The opinion of an employee who was worried about the situation that you don''t know. However, after hearing that, the entire crisis management and response team, including General Manager Kang Tae-hoon, couldn''t help but imagine. The image of a huge number of users revolting all over the continent with bamboo spears. [Dispose of all nobles and bourgeois forces! It''s a revolution!] [Everyone is equal in front of a bamboo spear! We''ll overturn this goddamn caste system with our own power!] [It''s bamboo spear time! I''ll show you the spiciness of liberal democracy!] [Jukchang! Bamboo spear! Qiaaaaaang!] [Main Scenario Act. 5 Bamboo spear revolution] No! no way! Aaaaaaaaaaaa! no! please! I think Im going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! Just imagining a terrible future with PTSD. But instinctively, they had a hunch. If this event that hase down to them to review is really carried out after a proper review, once again on this continent of Arcadia, numerous aristocratic sses who have tasted the true taste of liberal democracy will be equal in front of bamboo spears. By Korea''s fifth main scenario. Boss! this! It must be stopped! that''s right. Whatever happens, you have to drop it. We have to make sure they dont even take out the porridge from the bamboo spear! If you look at the event nning, you would say yes, but bamboo spears should bepletely excluded from the nning stage. The very existence of bamboo spears is a problem. This is at the level of throwing the whole oil barrel itself, not firewood, into the embers that are already left. I have to convince the boss unconditionally to quit. Seriously, the employees who strongly insist that this is not enough. Director Kang Tae-hoon also deeply sympathized with their words and nodded as if he agreed. Everyone calm down. I am of the same opinion as you. General Manager Kang Tae-hoon, like the other employees, thinks that he can''t turn the continent of Arcadia into blood again with that damned bamboo spear. However, since it is unclear what the intention of President Lee Mi-yeon was to throw this event to them to review, he needed a clear alternative in his position to face her and Executive Director Myung-han Kwon. First of all, you can give your opinion as much as you like about the reasons for our opposition to this n. The boss didn''t n this event in such depth, he just wrote a short draft with only ideas. Thats probably why you asked us to review the feasibility of the project. Manager Kang Tae-hun, who can convince President Lee Mi-yeon of why we shouldn''t put bamboo spears in the hands of users again'' by giving reasonable and understandable grounds as much as possible. But that wasn''t the main issue in the current situation. Rather than that, it will be whether we cane up with any other alternatives to this event. An idea that was nned and presented by the president himself. In order to give hundreds of reasons and say that this is not possible, we had to present an alternative that is equivalent to the existing idea... no, much improved. Otherwise, from the perspective of CEO Mi-yeon Lee, it would be nothing more than to ruthlessly crush her idea, saying that her subordinates did not like it. That word is..... The Crisis Management Response Team realized what Manager Kang Tae-hoon was trying to say. Looking around at his teammates, who looked pale, he said with a determined face. From now on, everyone will stop doing everything and participate with all their might in nning a new first anniversary event to be promoted in the Korean continent. Hand over the work you were doing now to the previous department. I will directly report the situation to the relevant departments. All right. Haa... But you don''t have to answer that damnint phone call anymore. Employees feel strangely relieved that they are now relieved of the task of cleaning up the huge poop that the fourth main scenario has built up. However, to all those who said such a peaceful thing, General Manager Kang Tae-hun spoke with the heart of amander giving instructions to soldiers before going to the battlefield. From now on, lets squeeze everything out and make it. A perfect event where the boss can give up his own project and choose ours. * * * The Crisis Management Response Team started working on new event nning. President Lee Mi-yeon smiled strangely as she checked the CCTV footage of those who were concentrating on nning the event with all their heart and soul in order to stop her n. I didnt like bamboo spears so much... Its a reaction beyond my imagination. President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a satisfied expression as if she had foreseen this situation. Alice asked her. [This is a natural reaction. My simtion results confirmed that there is a 98.93% chance that the second Jukchang Daejeon will lead to catastrophe when the manager''s n is reflected . If it went ahead as it was, it was a project that had been shot in the head to the extent that it had to be promoted as the main phrase, Our boss is really crazy!'', so from Alice''s point of view, their reaction was extremely normal. [As a result of this n, the favorable feeling toward the manager decreased by 59% and the reliability of work decreased by 84% within the crisis management response team.] The crisis that almost started to firmly believe the rumor that CEO Lee Mi-yeon was trying to ruin the game . Management response team staff. Therefore, Alice asked about the irrational behavior of President Lee Mi-yeon, which she couldn''t understand with her own logical calctions. [Wasn''t it a n to gain the trust of subordinates by showing them that they have excellent business skills? I can''t understand the manager''s behavior.] Rather, her actions had a strong adverse effect. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said with a bright smile as if asking what Alice was saying. oh? What are you talking about, Alice? I never thought of that. President Lee Mi-yeon shakes her head from side to side as if she wasn''t trying to gain the trust of the employees. And she smiled strangely evil and said it was really funny. I heard this in a business management book I recently read. Be a boss who is criticized by subordinates'' The best nes out of the worst n'' Be a vicious devil rather than an angelic boss'' Well, all of them are full of gem-like stories. A guide to maximizing employee performance. After reading it and experimenting with the contents she had taken notes on, she was surprised by the results that came back more effectively than she thought. Look closely, Alice, I threw out the worst n, so everyone gathers and puts their souls into making the best n. Besides, even if I dont say anything, Manager Kang Tae-hoon takes care of it and even whips it hard, right? President Lee Mi-yeon picked up a book lying on her desk and said with a yful smile. In her hand, the title of the book, written in a strangely dark bloody color, was reflected in the light and glistening. [An employee management method that makes even Satan cry. You can do it too!] Chapter 234 Chapter 234 Genesis One hot summer day with heavy rain pouring down. An ambnce carrying a pregnant woman arrived at a shabby hospital in Harlem, New York, with sirens ring in a hurry. Help me too. My stomach... My stomach hurts so much... A full-term pregnant woman who looks imminent at first nce. Her face was contorted with pain, as if she had already gone intobor. What the hell was the situation? The paramedic checking her basic vitals. When the emergency doctor asked with a firm expression if the pregnant woman''s condition was more serious than expected, one of the paramedics who brought her said, When I arrived after receiving the report, the amniotic fluid had already burst and bleeding had also urred. Also, looking at the syringes left at the scene... it seems that drugs were administered. What? drug....? She is a full-term pregnant woman whose name is unknown. She was groaning without being able to properly express herself, perhaps distorted by the pain, but looking at the needle marks left on her arm, I could guess that the paramedics'' words were true. Damn it. Did you get your hands on drugs right before giving birth? How on earth are you a drug addict? Hismon sense and morality, having lived in an ordinary and normal family, arepletely uneptable. But it was a fairlymon sight at this hospital in Harlem, so he quickly initiated the necessary first aid measures. There is an emergency patient who needs to deliver as soon as possible, so call the obstetrician right away. The birth that started whilepletely intoxicated with drugs. It is unknown how long she had been taking drugs, but her already frail body was not strong enough to give birth to a life. -Beep beep. Heart arrest! shit! Start CPR right now! The blood slowly disappears from his pale face. Watching her unfocused golden eyes lose their vitality and die, the doctor who helped her deliver decided after a moment''s thought. I am starting an emergency caesarean section now. CPR Don''t stop, keep going and somehow save the mother! A doctor who gave up natural childbirth and urgently started a caesarean section. So many people tried to revive the mother and at the same time did their best to help the life that was still alive in her belly start. As a result, she was drugged and moaned in pain until the end, but she did not survive, but her tiny legacy was able to see the light of day. It''s a boy... To lose his mother right after he was born... It''s not the first time he''s been through this... but it''s really sad. A baby who can''t even open his eyes properly with a face that doesn''t know anything. Not long after, the medical staff who learned about the child''s various circumstances all whispered as if they were sorry. There is no father, and the mother died during childbirth... To be an orphan as soon as he was born... You say you can''t move your whole body at all? They say the mother was a serious drug addict. I heard that she was addicted to drugs right before giving birth... Maybe it''s because of the side effects. Ehh..... I really feel sorry for him... The medical staff clicked their tongues and tutted as they passed by. The faces of those who saw the baby were full of pity, but that was for a while. The thought of the child quickly disappeared from their heads due to the surge of patients. A child lying alone in a stable room with no one paying attention. However, there was one person who was curiously interested in the child. Interesting. It''s really interesting. An elderly doctor with a sharp impression. Feeling clean and well-groomed, he picked up the chart and murmured, examining the various details. It''s a body that can''t see, talk, or move due to a congenital brain malformation... but the size of the brain is abnormallyrge, and only the frontal lobe and cerebral cortex are overdeveloped. A child with an abnormal brain in which the main nervous system connected to the body''s motor organs is not developed, but other parts are overdeveloped. The elderly doctor, who picked up the child and examined it carefully, muttered with a strangely maddening smile. Yes... Yes... If left alone anyway, it would be your destiny to die miserably in a ce no one knows about... Wouldnt you make a valuable sacrifice for the advancement of human medicine? ..... A baby who couldnt understand his words. However, the old doctorughed with a chuckle as if he epted it as a sign of approval. Yeah.... You''re such a nice and admirable child... Instead, I''ll give you your name as a prize... He seemed to be seriously thinking about what name to give him. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled broadly as if he came up with a name he liked. jack. From now on, your name will be Jack. Calling him by any name he wanted, the old doctor formally introduced himself to Jack. My name is Silikoff Paul. I run a small biopany called Silicop. So he wrapped Jack up in a nket lying on one side and quietly slipped out of the hospital without anyone noticing, whispering to him who fell asleep without knowing the world. Lets do our best in the future, Jack. There are so many experiments I want to do on you. That day, Jack was kidnapped from a small, shabby hospital in Harlem. A mad scientist who is obsessed with cruel biological experiments and development of biological weapons. Founder of Sillicoff The Bio Industry. To Silicoff Paul. * * * Biopharmaceuticalpany Silicorp. Officially, it was a pharmaceuticalpany that seeded in developing new drugs and was on the rise. And Silikov Paul, the head of these demons and the head of Silikov''s secretboratory Hive. Recently, he has been struggling with research to improve the anthrax bacillus and make a more deadly living weapon for the human body. Ehh... the fatality rate is way lower than I thought... Shilikov muttered, frowning at the figureing out much lower than expected. A young and cute girl came running to him with a doll. Grandpa yi~. Why are you doing this, my little princess? Contrary to his notoriety of being a bloodless and tearless devil, he greets his granddaughter as the only remaining blood rtive with a broad smile and the appearance of a benevolent grandfather. To him, the little girl pointed to the little boy lying on one side and asked. Who is that kid over there? Ah..... Our Jenika was curious about who that test subject was? A blond little boy lying still with all sorts of electrodes on his head. After ncing at him, Silikov said with a smile as if he didn''t care about his granddaughter who was looking at him curiously. It is nothing. He can''t talk or move anyway, so there''s nothing to worry about. Just think of it as an ornament. The test subject was a cruel, cruel Sillikoff who didn''t even look at it as a human in the first ce. However, at his words, young Jenika nced at the boy who seemed to be her age with strange eyes and then said. He will be my friend from now on. friend....? A guy who can''t do anything and can''t even move? Silicoff tilts his head at Jennica''s words that she wants to be friends with Jack. While experimenting with this and that, he wasn''t as interested in it as before, but it was still a research subject that could be useful, so Silikov spoke to Jennica in a calm voice. My princess, did you need more toys? That kid over there is boring and uninteresting enough to be worse than a toy... Instead, why don''t you buy a prettier doll for your grandfather? no. i will y with him Don''t touch my friend. Silikov whispered in a sweet voice. However, Jenika at a young age shook her head resolutely at his words and expressed a strong opinion bybining words she knew. At her stubbornness, Silikov smiled embarrassed and fell into thought. Heh heh..... This is true...'' His one and only granddaughter, Jenika, takes a strange interest in the test subject. If it was normal, he would have firmly refused even if it was a request from his granddaughter who would not hurt even if he put it in his eyes, but he couldn''t bear it. I lost both my parents at such a young age..... I should do this much...'' Jenika lost both of her parents in an instant due to a recent ident. The police investigation revealed that it was an ident, but Silikov, who thought it was an attack by rivals and enemies scattered around him, was forcing his only remaining granddaughter to live in the Hive, his secret research base. Rather than leaving it alone... it''s just a doll, but it''s better to have a friend.'' A life close to confinement, where you can''t even go outside and have to live only underground. That''s why Silikov was able to understand a little bit of the young granddaughter''s behavior, which is the only one who shows a strange interest and obsession with Jack, who seems to be her age. Having made up his mind what to do, Silikov looked at him with round eyes and stroked the head of Jennica, who was holding the stuffed rabbit tightly. Do it. really? okay. Grandpa didn''t know that our princess wanted to make friends. If you really want to be friends with this guy... let''s do that. Even Grandpa won''t touch this guy. huh! Thanks Grandpa. Jenika nodded with a bright smile for the first time at Silikov''s permission. And then Silikov, who had been running to Jack with quick steps and watching him look at him with curious eyes, soon turned around with a hearty smile. Won... Guy. I think it''s the first time I''veughed since Mom and Dad died. Silikov saw his granddaughter smile after a long time. As if that alone was worth giving up a test subject, he immersed himself in his own research again, humming with a strangely happy face. To find a way to improve anthrax, which has a strangely low mortality rate. While Silikov concentrates on his research. Young Jenika looked around at the young boy with blond hair, whoy motionless as if he was sleeping, with bright eyes. ..... Genika carefully pokes her finger into the boys hand. Sensing a strange feeling at the warm and cozy body temperature she felt here for the first time, she tilted her head without saying anything and touched Jack''s hand for a long time. And I talked to him like a mumble. Are you... bored? Jenika''s eyes shine as if she heard his voice. And soon after, she hurriedly ran somewhere, and after a while, what she had in her hands was a thick sketchbook and 12-color crayons. Then let me tell you a funny story! At the same time, Zenica began to draw something diligently in a white sketchbook, fiddling with crayons with one hand. Then, as if she were a teacher reading a fairy tale to children, she started talking seriously. In the northern world, that is. It is said that there is always a storm full of bitter cold and cold, and it is covered with snow and ice all over. And there is a white dragon living there, who is sleeping deeply... Jenika paints while telling stories with her own imagination. She told him her story every day, every day, for many years. They say there is a very big tree at the center of the world. And there is an endless forest around it, and the fairies and trees that live there guard that huge tree that has taken root in the center of the world. They say that the tree has a special power, so if you drink the leaves, all diseases will be cured. ..... He couldn''t hear any cheers, admiration, or praise from Jack when he heard the story, but Jennica didn''t mind and continued to tell her story. Deep in the underworld of that world, there are little dwarfs who live hidden away from anyone, and they have great manual dexterity, making various objects and treasures. I like alcohol, so I keep trying to do business with people on the ground, but every time there is a quarrel, so I don''t get along with each other... Jack was born with a deformed brain and was destined to die a miserable death from total paralysis. However, through coincidences of coincidences and coincidences of unbelievable coincidences and coincidences, he ended up blooming his talents that should not have bloomed brilliantly. The Sixth Sense, a secret project that was secretly promoted without anyone knowing. And by a butterfly dream. In this way, he was born in his strange destiny, like a god''s y. Humanity''s first virtual reality and another perfect world. Arcadia. Chapter 235 Chapter 235 Server Consolidation (1) The 4th main scenario Continental War, which ended the story by giving a huge penalty to most Korean users. In order to rectify the aftermath, while the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. struggled every day overtime, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and General Manager Tae-Hoon Kang were sitting in President Lee Mi-Yeon''s office with nervous faces. Hmm... so... did the Crisis Management Response Team finally conclude that it would be better not to do the event I nned? A crisis management and response team based on a n by the president. It was something he couldn''t do unless he had a fair bit of knack, so in response to her barbed question, Manager Kang Tae-hun stinged, but soon said in a stern voice. We all discussed and discussed the event nned by the president in depth.... Considering the recent main scenario, it was our team''s idea that a more indiscriminate scuffle would have more side effects. Kang Tae-hoon, the general manager of thepany, spoke as pure as possible because he couldn''t speak frankly in front of thepany''s CEO, Lee Mi-yeon, and not other people. However, in reality, the thoughts of Arcadia employees looking at this event were so negative that it was hard to dare to speak. [Who the hell is this bastard who created this kind of event as a n?] [Hee hee! Bamboo spear! consumer! Comints!] [Even if it''s the boss... is this over the line?] [If you really push this, all the employees would dere a strike, right?] Not only the crisis management response team, but all departments are serious, fighting, and fiercely. President Lee Mi-yeon''s n rejected. That''s why Myeong-han Kwon, executive director, spoke carefully to President Mi-yeon Lee. I am not opposed to holding the Jukchang Daejeon again. However, it is also true that there are many people who are cautious about the situation that urred due to the failure of event nning in the past. In the case of Korean users, as well as in the case of Japanese users, antipathy to Jukchang Daejeon is very great. Perhaps if we do an event simr to that time again, there is a high chance that it will cause a big bacsh. That''s right. In the case of the Japanese continent, it is thought that the bamboo spear caused enormous damage and loss by being caught up in the ridiculous situation of dragon hunting. Considering the global public opinion, there will be great dissatisfaction if this event is held only in Korea this time. Their argument was powerful as they joined the support fire of General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon. Then, CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded her head with a strange expression, not sure if those who refused her project were dissatisfied or understood. So... is this n that you brought as an alternative? That''s right. Reflecting the presidents opinion as much as possible, we tried to remove as many controversial points as possible. Um..... An event n created by the entire crisis management team, including General Manager Kang Tae-hun, putting their souls together. President Lee Mi-yeon, who looked at it as critically as possible and looked at the extension n, said to the two people with a tense face. It''s good. yes....? Am I really? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and General Manager Tae-Hoon Kang ask with a surprised face at her unexpected positive response. President Lee Mi-yeon, as if not caring about the reaction of the two, put the report they brought on the desk and tapped it with her finger. It is regrettable that bamboo spears arepletely eliminated, but I like the fact that userspetitiveness is rather maximized. In particr, I like the idea of using event maps like Fantastic Ind likest time. This time... let''s use the theme park created by Mizuni to hold it? yes. It is said that they are implementing thergest theme park in history in coboration with the US branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. It''s not yet in the final stage, but I think it''s not bad to show off what you''ve made so far to the public. There was also a positive opinion from Mizuni. Mizuni, one of the conglomerates showing the most active attitude in the virtual reality industry. As if the nickname dinosaur in the entertainment business is not a lie, Mizuni is investing in virtual reality based on its enormous capital. From the publicity effect of showcasing the first work of those who are making it with all their heart, to the reduction of work required to implement special maps for the event. President Lee Mi-yeon said with a satisfied smile at his n to catch two rabbits at once. It''s clever, but... I have to admit it''s a brilliant idea, though. That means... Yes. As I mentioned before, Jukchang Daejeon is a matter of concern for many side effects and antipathy, so I personally feel sorry for it, but I will put it on hold. As ourpany''s second official event, let''s go with the World''s First Fighting Championship'' nned by the Crisis Management Response Team. President Lee Mi-yeon will give up the bamboo spear she nned. At her words, general manager Kang Tae-hun and executive director Kwon Myeong-han''s faces glowed as if they had aplished it. I see! We will do our best to prepare! Director Kang Tae-hun, who had a smile on his face as if he couldn''t hold back his joy that he had solved the biggest problem. However, he had no choice but to harden his face at the words of CEO Lee Mi-yeon. Lets make the scale bigger than it is now. yes....? What do you mean by that... Director Kang Tae-hoon looks at her with a puzzled expression as if he doesn''t understand. But looking at him like that, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a bright smile. This kind of fun event cannot be held only in the Korean branch. Lets proceed as an integrated event targeting all continents. yes....? General Manager Kang Tae-hun freezes with a white face. In response to his question, President Lee Mi-yeon checked the time on her watch and muttered with a smile. Anyway, that moment'' wille soon. * * * A distant past that could not even be recorded in history. The great war between demons and angels that took ce on the continent of Arcadia was the Great War of the Holy Demons. This fierce war, in which not only the lords of the celestial world and the demon world were put in, but also the absolute divine gods representing each realm, wiped out most of the life that flourished in Arcadia to a level close to extinction, and even the world tree, the mother of all things that supports the continent. made me fall asleep after that. Arcadia is divided into 8 continents. The World Tree, which fought endlessly against the power of corruption in eternal sleep with all powers and divinities sealed, was slowly but gradually losing its power and copsing. But... [Stop resisting and quietly die, you bastard bastard.] The World Tree was identally liberated in an unexpected opportunity. And she made an absurd request, driven by the enormous karma she felt from the mysterious being who had freed her. [Please bring me some dragon hearts. At least, it''s an ancient dragon level.] The strongest in Arcadia and a transcendental dragon who was granted that power directly by his father. He was a being of a very high rank that even a mediocre human could notpete with, but he was different. [Did you die with a single bamboo spear?] I don''t understand exactly, but a human who really killed an old dragon-level dragon single-handedly and brought back its heart. Thanks to that, the World Tree was regaining its strength at an unexpected speed. Woo woo woo. Deep in the continent, unknown to anyone. The continent is so gigantic that you can''t even imagine its scale... No, her roots stretch out toward the entire world. Apparently, the roots, which had been dead with their vitalitypletely lost until now, were pulsating vigorously like a beating heart and emitting their vitality strongly. Koo Goo Goo Pce. A huge and powerful vibration that no one can perceive. Based on the mana and life force in Cervenian''s heart, which had been umted at a near-infinite level, the World Tree began topletely restore the lost control over his body. And at that moment when her recovery reached a critical point... All users on all continents were notified of rted matters through Alice. [The power of the World Tree has been restored by 82%.] [The critical point required to use the power has been reached.] [Massive update Pangaea. Requirements met.] [Notification of application of relevant update.] [Prepare for update shock.] [10 minutes remaining.] A notification that came suddenly and without notice. Users who did not know the exact contents were embarrassed to see the notifications sent to them. what''s this? Pangea? What the hell is this? The world tree...? What setting is this again? Is it like the main scenario...? All users of the 8 continents who were hunting peacefully. With the exception of some of the users, they almost didn''t know anything about the rted content, so when they were tilting their heads while watching the countdown slowly going down. Only one person muttered with a deep smile. Oh... has it already been that time? Jae-young, who was unaware of the busy journey to retrieve the stolen dragon bone, was confirmed by a notification that less than 10 minutes were left. Next to him, Tan and L muttered with strangely nostalgic faces. Hey..... I live and live and see the day when the saplings are resurrected. Its something to live for a really long time to see. That''s right... I wouldn''t have expected anything like this if it wasn''t for some goddamn bat. right? Close that damned ass before it gets fried. Even in the midst of this, Tan and L are bickering. Enjoying the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung put on a rxed smile and enjoyed the moment to the fullest. And the moment he sits leisurely in a restaurant with a nice view, sipping a drink and watching the timer count down to zero. Numerous messages began to emerge before his eyes. [Large-scale update Pangea is applied.] [All continents are integrated as of the current time.] [Real-time trantion system is fully applied.] [We cheer for the fun of adventurers.] What...? Unifying all continents...? Real-time interpretation and trantion system...? What is this! What the hell are you talking about! At that time, all the users in the vige, including Jae-young''s restaurant, were shouting loudly with confused faces. They couldn''t keep their mouths shut from the huge roar that suddenly burst out. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kyaaak! what! Aaaaaaa! Earthquake? What kind of earthquake is it in the game? No, what is that? tree....? Jae-young was in a vige far away from the coast. However, users from all continents, including him, could see it clearly. A huge tree root of an indescribable size that suddenly rose from the middle of the sea with a huge explosion sound and a huge spray of water. I didn''t know exactly what it was, but the branch that clung to an unknown coastal cliff soon lifted the entire continent and started moving quickly. Ku-goo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. A huge wind that blows across the continent. What the hell is this all about! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! They were taken aback by the wind blowing so fast that no one could control themselves, but they quickly realized. Continents.... The whole continent is moving Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan''s moving! what''s this! What the hell! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa help me! A huge roar echoed across the continent. It shook violently, creating a sense of fear as if the continent waspletely copsing, but strangely, not a single old hut was destroyed and everything remained intact. Woo woo woo woo. After a huge roar that seemed like the beginning of heaven and earth rang for a long time. The continent became quiet after a strangely huge and deep vibration. what....? Is it over...? In the ears of the users who looked around carefully as if they were frightened with faces full of question marks, a familiar female voice, which they had heard every time they started the game, suddenly heard. [Wee to Arcadia, one perfect continent.] While blowing ament I had never heard before. Chapter 236 Chapter 236 Server Consolidation (2) Arcadia enjoyed by billions of people around the world. Unlike existing games that operate independently based on one country or culture, Arcadia provides services with only one single server. [Arcadia consists of a total of 8 continents, and each continent is provided by tying each continent to a specific country or countries with simrnguages and cultures. For example, European or Arab countries... and Southeast Asia or Oceania would be good examples.] Lee Mi-yeon, president and general manager of Arcadia. Based on what was officially announced through her, the public already knew. That there is not only one continent like this they are ying on. And the fact that somewhere far away, users from other countries are enjoying their own y on an unknown continent. However, this announcement did not change anything in particr. What do you know if there are other continents or not? There are a lot of things I couldnt even do here right now. that''s right. Besides, if we move to another continent, what about all the foundations we have worked so hard to build here? I dont know if more rted information is released... but not really...? Users who are not particrly interested in the content of Continental Shift unless they have a close friend who ys Arcadia in a foreign country. For them, faraway continents were not important, but the urgent priority was to find hidden quests or dungeons in the town or city where they were standing right now and hunt. I don''t know if there''s really nothing to do here, but there''s no reason to do that now. I will level up even more by hunting while I have time to look for continental movement content. The first route created by Dex and the ck Pirates after crossing the endless sea. Except for the liner operated by them, there was no unsolved information about continental movement at all, so their interest was bound to cool down quickly. Until just recently. [Large-scale update Pangea has been applied.] [Wee to Arcadia, one perfect continent.] Voices heard by all yers ying on all continents of Arcadia. Those who heard it clearly shouted with bewildered faces. what is this sound! A massive update! Pangea? one continent? What just happened! A situation that happened without any foreshadowing. That time when everyone was shouting at it with a face that they couldn''t understand. Suddenly another beep sounded. [Launch the update-rted cinematic video.] [Freeze all of Arcadia''s time to watch the video.] Time freeze...? What are you talking about right now... Uung. Users who can''t wake up to the sudden pouring notification sound. But they froze before they could finish what they were saying. Freeze time. All the users ying around the world, the NPCs and monsters living in this world, even the flowing river and the rolling waves werepletely fine in apletely stopped state, and only the yers were conscious. Wow... was something like this possible?'' It''s as if the server got stuck withg for an instant and stopped. However, Jaeyoung murmured to himself at the unfamiliar experience he had in virtual reality for the first time. That time when you observe and marvel at the sight of a world where time has stopped unfolding in front of you and your body that ispletely out of control. An image started to y in front of his eyes. [In the beginning... there was onlyplete emptiness in this world.] A small girl''s voice came from theplete darkness. And suddenly, with a bright light, something quickly began to appear. [But one day, starting with a tree born in this void, this world haspletely changed! It made a solid earth by catching dust floating in the void with its roots, and enriched this world by caring for and nurturing countless lives with fruits and leaves.] A small seedling born in the void. However, the seedling grew into a huge and dense tree in an instant, expanding its territory little by little, creating a hugend and creating a forest full of vitality. I don''t know how much time has passed, but... a tree that has grown beyondpare to before and a huge continent formed around her. On that continent, countless lives were living peaceful lives. [But... One day, a huge crisis came to this happy tree. Greedy beings from another dimension began to invade thisnd.] Hellish beings with terrifying appearances protruding through the ground. And the heavenly beings with pure white wings appeared tearing up the sky. A fierce battle was being waged all over that huge continent. It is a story that is whispered in Jaeyoung''s ear as if telling an old story. Jaeyoung, who knows the unknown myths of this world better than anyone else, was shocked because he knew what the cinematic video meant. This crazy..... This is the Great War of the Holy Demons...?'' The story I heard from Tan and El. Although the contents were recorded in Arcadia''s history books, all contents rted to the World Tree had been erased, and the secret contents of the myth were being revealed to users around the world at this moment. The core reason why the world tree fell into endless dormancy, and the Great War that divided the continent into eight. When all of those facts were revealed, Jaeyoung''s head wasplicated. Why? Is this update directly rted to the two in the future...?'' The back story of the Great War of the Holy Demons, which has never been found in a proper andplete record anywhere. However, through this story, she was telling users around the world everything without adding or subtracting. [Battle between Heaven and Hell. As a result, the tree, cursed with eternal sleep, loses its strength and falls into a deep sleep. And her roots, which eventually lost their strength, couldn''t support the earth they were holding on to.] Kukuku kung. With those words, the continent was fragmented into 8 pieces and scattered far away. It was shown so clearly and clearly that people who watched this video couldn''t help but know. That the eight continents that are now dispersing were the Arcadia continents up until now. But... Suddenly, the scene changes again in front of the World Tree, and a young girl suddenly appears. Her amber hair and eyes exuded a strange charm and a strange energy that seemed to make you fall in love with her. In a ridiculous coincidence, the tree was able to regain most of its strength, though notpletely. Woo woo woo. The world tree murmured while exhaling the green aura that it used to hit with excitement. As if she could see Jaeyoung, she looked at the exact spot he was looking at and said. Even though I will have to go through a long period of recovery again due to the manifestation of power... In the end, I ended up doing what I had been dreaming of for a long time. The World Tree recovered most of its power through the dragon heart Jaeyoung brought. However, as soon as she recovered, she used up most of her strength, so she muttered with a bitter smile, but she dered to everyone with a proud face as if she had no regrets. With this... all the continents of this world that had been scattered for so many years werepletely united. cooong. It wasn''t a very loud voice, but it felt like a powerful feeling of pressure that pierced the soul. At the same time, Jaeyoung felt a sense of unity with the world tree and felt its huge presence. Not the scattered continents that were mercilessly torn apart in the past, but one huge continent perfectly united. And the countless lives that live and breathe on that hugend. It was being felt vividly on her myriad roots. Wow... It''s much bigger than I imagined...?'' The size of the two continents of Arcadia alone was so huge that it was three times the size of the Korean Penins, but the unified continent of Arcadia that Jaeyoung felt now was so huge that it could not be easily pushed evenpared to the size of the original Earth. Because they have been scattered for such a long time, no one remembers the peaceful and happy time in the past, so there will be a lot of confusion and conflict for the time being. But don''t forget, my children. The World Tree is a young girl, but has an expression like a benevolent mother and murmurs. She said with an expression that was strangely ferocious and overflowing with venom. That the menace of the ugly men who trespass this world is not over yet to fight and quarrel among you who are born on thisnd and receive my love and blessings. ...?'' At that moment, Jaeyoung imagined. The faces of users all over the world who are embarrassed by the appearance of the World Tree, which suddenly breaks the original concept and shows its original appearance. Those fried chickens and bats, who wouldnt be happy to eat them, are still flicking their filthy tongues without giving up on my territory. As the guardian of thisnd and the mother of all things and life, Imand all life on thisnd with the mission given to me... A mighty green aura emanating from her. This aura spread across all continents of Arcadia and soon began to seep into thend. and that moment. Thest words of the world tree reached Jaeyoung''s ears. Destroy and annihte all remnants of the vicious invaders who seek our homnd. [Video viewing has ended.] [Time freeze has been released.] [Update has beenpleted.] [A clue about the forgotten myth of the past has been obtained.] [The title Child of the World Tree'' has been obtained.] [ Aplete continent awaits your adventure.] With the words that the cinematic video has ended, Jae-young returns to his original ce. And next to him, Tan and El, who seemed unaware of anything, were fighting fiercely. evil! You damn chicken! Biting is against thew! Heung, why dont you hide those nasty ws first? Ah-oh! This is real! Tan and L, who are thumping with the appearance of an imp and a baby angel, but are engaged in a fierce hand-to-handbat without making any concessions. The two of them found Jaeyoung sitting nkly with a bewildered expression on their faces, and soon stopped fighting and asked. Master, why are you making such a stupid face? Was it so surprising to see continentsing together? Tan and L seem unaware of the fact that time is frozen. Seeing the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung wondered what to say. Didn''t I just tell you that and then run back to the right ce like back then?'' The three of them fought a bloody bloody battle for probability with Jaeyoung in between. Watching the fight between the saplings, chicken and bats was a fun spectacle worth popcorn, but Jaeyoung shook his head as if it was nothing. Yeah... But seeing it with my own eyes is pretty surprising. As a rice cake for the narrative that will take ce after the continental unification, the gamepany threw in the tremendous content of the Great War along with the request of the World Tree. Just by looking at this, Jaeyoung was able to get a rough idea of who would be the main character of the stories that will take ce in the future unified continent. Looks like the world tree wants to fuck the two of them properly.....'' She hates everyone equally without discrimination, whether it''s Tan or El, and gnashing her teeth. Seeing as if it was interesting that the world tree was ying tricks on users all over the world without the two knowing, Jaeyoung smiled strangely and looked at the two wandering beings with round eyes in front of him. burnt. and L. Why do you call me that way? Master, did you not eat well? Yes, Dex. Is there anything you would like to ask for? The unified world of Arcadia, where beings from the celestial world and the demon world will appear in earnest. Jaeyoung smiled brightly at the monarchs of the two kingdoms who were bound by bteral contracts with him and said. I wish you well in the future. Chapter 237 Chapter 237 Server Consolidation (3) Unannounced integration of all continents in the world. And one cinematic video yed simultaneously for everyone. Because of this, everyone who was ying at that time rushed to Arpendia and started asking all sorts of questions. -What was the video that was yed earlier? -World tree? Why did the world tree suddenly appear? -Is the girl in that video a world tree? -A child of the world tree? What title is this? - Someone please exin! Now this is a mess!!!! -I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! A video that ispletely iprehensible without any background knowledge. However, as if the setting fan is present in any game, soon after, a detailed and extensive analysis video of this update began to circte all over Arfandia. [Yes viewers. Nice to meet you. This time, it has been updated with the name Pangea. As you can tell just by looking at the name, all 8 continents that were divided so far have been integrated into one! wow! Isn''t that great? Then, from now on, you can enjoy ying together with other foreign users. So I also took this opportunity...] [Uh, guys. You know from watching the video, right? Again, the Arcadia operators did the job this time. Isnt this older brother also very knowledgeable about Arcadias worldview? That''s when I thought As for this update.....] As a streamer who uploads videos on Arfandia, this is something that can''t be tolerated at all. So, all kinds of information started pouring in through them, but most of it was just a no-nonsense aggressive video to suck up views and subscribers using this incident as an excuse. -No, are there any gamepanies that do not provide additional exnations while updating something? -Really. All the information circting in Arpendia is garbage. -No hahahahaha. But was this worldwide integrated single server possible with current technology? -really;; Have aliens abducted? What is a real-time interpretation and trantion system? - Arcadia management, you damn bastards! Make a quick announcement before you break into thepany. A situation that requires a lot of exnation and rification. That''s when users are bubbling around. The media also excitedly bit into this rice cake and started carrying firewood hard. - Arcadia Co., Ltd.! First major update Pangea surprise release! -Unification of all continents? Arcadia implemented the world''s first single server. - Arcadia''s technology that is covered in a veil. A world in shock. - The appearance of the world tree. Pre-announcement of a new grand narrative? What about it? -Large server consolidation with 10 minutes notice and applied. The insider of the game. All kinds of false information and spective articles pouring in because streamers and reporters are all eager to suck up the number of views. As a result, it was the phones of Arcadia executives and employees spread all over the world that started to burn. There is no official position regarding this update yet. We will distribute the press release as soon as ites out, so please wait. [No, but can you give me a little bit of information? Why is there still no press release after such a surprise update?] It''s not just a minor bnce adjustment or addition of a hunting ground, it''s the integration of all the continents divided into 8. There was no doubt that it was a superrge incident that the aftermath could not be small in the current situation where the number of Arcadia users around the world has exceeded 4 billion. We are also waiting for instructions from the upper level regarding the update. It wille out soon, so please wait a little longer. [Wait. Then, one more question.....] Manager Kang Tae-hun puts the phone down without listening to the reporter. He thought to himself as he held on to the phones around him and looked at the staff who dealt with all kinds of inquiries with a confused look on their faces. Eventually... it started.'' In the Korean branch, except for President Lee Mi-yeon, only Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and General Manager Tae-Hoon Kang knew. Since no one knew the relevant information in advance, the employees who were responding ignorantly to this situation had a nk look at the explosive inquiries that were iparable to before. And looking back at the staff of the crisis management and response team, General Manager Kang Tae-hun smiled bitterly. One.... For this time, I wanted to rest well until then...'' Director Kang Tae-hun, who had already been aware of the moment of hell toe from several months ago. That''s why I was considering them so that they could enjoy their freedom to the fullest in their peaceful daily life, but I couldn''t because of the fourth scenario of the Korean server that exploded at thest minute. Yes customer. If you say one more verbal abuse, such as not to be a jerk, the consultation will end. No, because we dont know anything? Why do you keep asking us to answer facts we dont even know? What do you do with your sry? No matter how angry you are, you shouldn''t say such things. No..... Ha..... Fuck really..... Yes? no. I didn''t say anything, sir. yes. Employees who seem to be getting more and more nasty. After appreciating them for a short time, Manager Kang Tae-hoon suddenly made a bitter expression of sorry and guilt welling up in his heart. Consulting customers... isn''t something humans do.'' A ce full of corruption and darkness that even Jesus, who is synonymous with mercy and love, can wield a cross in less than a month to break the earthen pot of unripe consumers. General Manager Kang Tae-hun expressed his silent respect for the entire crisis management response team and customer satisfaction service team who are enduring day by day, suffering without any promise of liberation from that hell. I hope that this situation will be resolved as smoothly and quickly as possible this time. * * * A video conference with the general managers of all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd. At the meeting, President Lee Mi-yeon listened to the discussions on country-by-country responses to this update and follow-up measures from each branch manager. [The overall details of this update must be fully disclosed to users. The reaction of Japanese users right now is not a level that can be ignored. At this rate, they''re going to turn all users into enemies!] Branch manager Kazuki, who was in charge of the Japanese continent. However, Emily, who was in charge of the North American continent, strongly opposed his words. [Isnt that what we talked about earlier? The hot reaction from users is the same situation on any continent. It can never be a good precedent for apany to disclose more information than necessary just because a user requests it.] [Europe''s position is the same. Once you start fulfilling a demand, that demand has no choice but to get stronger and stronger. Besides, isn''t it the most important topic right now?] [If this isn''t the most important topic, then what? From just now, the European and North American branch offices have continued to oppose it together...] [Wait a minute. I have something to say. The Chinese government said they vited their legal obligations regarding this update and said they would conduct an official investigation into Arcadia''s Chinese branch.....] [ Eh..... In the case of Southeast Asia...] [In the case of Oceania, rather Opposite! Positively enthusiastic users...] Branch managers who only say what they want to say, open their mouths all at once, and talk diligently. When executive director Kwon Myeong-han gets restless at the video conference, which has already be uncontroble, and is watching President Lee Mi-yeon. She simply operated the screen with her fingers. [All attendees have been set to mute.] I heard the opinions of all the branch managers. But seeing how the meeting is going on now, I feel like if I let you guys talk to each other, we''ll just keep fighting and we won''te to a good decision... I save all of us time and organize things so we don''t waste energy. Lee Mi-yeon, president of Arcadia, who has no direct involvement in Arcadia, but hasplete and exclusive authority over thepany''s operations. Normally, she acts like a nerd who is not very interested inpany affairs, but whenever an incident urs, she wields such powerful authority that she can be called a tyrant. He rolled his eyes. From now on, listen carefully to what I am saying and disclose it to the users and media in each country as it is. [.....] They couldn''t say anything because they were muted, but the branch managers listened intently and only looked at President Lee Mi-yeon''s mouth. She said to all of them. This update, Pangea, began with the mythical existence of the World Tree regaining its power and uniting the continents that had been scattered in the past through this. Now, all users will be able to enjoy their own adventure by going through countless secrets and stories while going back and forth across a huge unified continent. In a vast world that is iparable to today. The story of President Lee Mi-yeon, which begins with the story that was revealed to all users this time. Contrary to the expectations of the branch managers who gulped as if wondering what was next, her mouth closed with that. end. Lets just talk about this much. [....?] [....?] Although the sound was muted, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was able to grasp at once what they wanted to say by looking at the faces of the branch managers who were making faces of astonishment. Is that all about the announcement that thepany is on fire...?'' Ha..... Really, a guy like that is also the president... 13 hours have already passed since this update was applied. It was a situation where even if announcing the official position right away and publicizing and publicizing arge number of updates, it would not be enough, and they did not even properly respond to spective articles and chirashis in the media. In the meantime, impatient users couldn''t stand the stuffiness and went back and forth between the Inte and reality, burning firewood whilemitting all sorts of messes. did. - Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Do you want to try it with us now? [....!] [....!] The president and the head of the branch show enthusiastic responses by gesturing with their hands as if to quickly mute or loosen the tone. In response to their earnest eyes, the managing director carefully conveyed their wishes to President Lee Mi-yeon. I... boss. I don''t think users or journalists will be satisfied with what you just said. It is also a situation where time has already been dyed... and it contains too much information that has not yet been released to the public. Holy War. world tree. angel. devil. mission. Forgotten Myth. There was a splendid mixture of rice cakes that could not stand even one, but users were impatient because there was no properly disclosed information. The official stance given by President Lee Mi-yeon to these users was no different from the act of throwing a drum full of oil into a zing firewood. I can not help it. Arcadia''s key information cannot be publicly disclosed by thepany. It is information that has no choice but to be revealed as time goes by, and there are rted clues all over Arcadia, so we can''t pollute it. Information that may be a clue to many stories toe. So, President Lee Mi-yeon thought of solving this situation in a different way. Instead, letse up with something else to distract you a little from this. [....?] The branch managers raise question marks at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. After e-mailing them all, she said, confidently picking up a wad of thick paper. The first andrgest event inmemoration of the continental unification, the World''s First Fighting Championship'', which was ambitiously nned by the crisis management and response team of the Korean branch. On that day, Arcadia Co., Ltd. announced the first integration notice after the Pangea update to the world. With a shortment about the Pangea update, wishing users good health. The first event to wish for a ce of dialogue where users all over the world participate together. It''s the first martial artspetition in the world. Chapter 238 Chapter 238 Choco Pie Joa (1) The World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament. The product of desperate efforts by the Crisis Management Response Team to prevent another tragedy caused by bamboo spears, and the first integrated event across all continents. The announcement of the World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament was enough to divert the attention of users who had been filled with all sorts of doubts and dissatisfaction until now. - Wow..... A battle to determine the strongest among users around the world? I can''t stand this. -Is the reward crazy? What is the title effect? - The winner''s reward... 300% experience and skill proficiency for 3 months? really crazy - In addition, thepetition is divided by field, so anyone can participate. -Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I really have to do this unconditionally. [This event has been prepared so that bothbat and nonbat sses canpete by ssifying their skills. For each field, a fixed-term title that can be used for 3 months from 1st to 3rd ce is given, and this title has been prepared to be a great driving force for future growth. Therefore...] A title that was the reward for the World''s First Martial Arts Tournament. This title, which can be used for a limited period of 3 months, has a very special option that cannot be found in other general titles. [Chief of the World''s First Martial Arts Tournament] -Experience skill proficiency increased by 300%. - Can be used for 3 months. [Second ce in the World''s First Martial Arts Tournament] -Experience skill proficiency increased by 200%. - Can be used for 3 months. [Second seat in the World''s First Martial Arts Tournament] -Experience skill proficiency increased by 100%. - Can be used for 3 months. Options that increase experience and skill proficiency that have the most direct effect on character growth and strength. It wasn''t that options rted to this didn''t exist at all in Arcadia, but there were many cases where they showed an enormous price or the sale itself was ambiguous, so there were many things that were not practical. -Wasn''t 150% the highest option for growth? -hit. It was also ambiguous because it was attached to a level 20 weapon. - Items that are sold at low levels or after being used for a short time. - But wasn''t it incredibly expensive because it was unique? Items for growth that can greatly increase the acquired EXP, but have to be equipped with equipment that is inferior in performance to that extent, so that the hunting efficiency is reduced. However,pared to those things, the reward of this event was worth it. - Since only the title effect is discarded, the item can be worn as it is, right? -You can maintain the set effect... It''s really sweet, right? - This is really great. Participate in an effort to win. An event reward that can dramatically increase your growth rate without losingbat power. Although it was only avable for a limited time of 3 months, it was a great opportunity to grow at least several times faster than others, so the enthusiasm of those who are famous as rankers in each continent was quite spleen. . It''s the best martial artspetition in the world... It''s fun. Any gym in the US. A blond Caucasian man muttered with his eyes shining as if he was having fun while checking the announcement of this event on his smartphone with a sweaty face as if he had just undergone an intense workout. His body has been trained with muscles that look as if they have been sculpted beautifully and agile by constant exercise. There were many women who nced at him with enchanting eyes, but he was busy contemting future ns as he stared at his smartphone with blue eyes as if no other gaze wasing in. This time, depending on whether or not I acquire this title, the game of ranking will bepletely changed.'' North America, formerly known as the First Continent. There, James, an ordinary young man in his twenties ying with the nickname Captain Yankee'', lived apletely different life while clearing a quest he found by chance one day. [The hidden ss Pilgrim''s Sword'' has been acquired.] [The traces of the ck Church have been acquired.] [ The quest Mysterious Religious Group'' has been acquired.] The ck Church, an unknown and evil religion, has been uncovered. hidden ss. And while carrying out the quests rted to it, I came across the trigger of the main scenario in North America before I knew it. [Act. 1 Conspiracy of the ck Church] Bing the first user to start a main scenario in North America, he became a popr figure in North America without realizing it. -Captain Yankee Arpendia subscribers exceeded 30 million. -Captain Yankee''s first ck Church'' raid sess. -Clear Captain Yankee''s first main scenario The ck Church''s Conspiracy''. -Captain Yankee..... Thanks to the various videos posted on Arfandia, he received huge advertising fees as revenue and grew faster than anyone else through unique equipment acquired through the main scenario and various secret information. In reality, he was just developing his dream as a trainer, but in the game, he became a powerful hero leading a huge guild called Heroes''. By the way... now I have to fight with rankers from all over the world, not just the North American continent? James, who does not dare to stand against him in the North American continent. However, with this update, everything has changedpletely. [After the World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament is over, Arfandia''s ranking system will also be reorganized into a global one, not a continental one. Therefore, please be sure to keep this in mind as the existing rankings may change drastically in the future.] Compete for the whole world. James, roughly guessing what Arcadia intended, smiled while wiping the sweat from his forehead. Its fun. I thought I had reached the top, but now it''s like telling me there''s an even bigger peak left. James, who has always tried his best to be the best. He got up as if he couldn''t control the excitement that was boiling in his chest and moved to the shower room on the other side of the gym. Before this event begins... I need to prepare as much as possible. Captain Yankee is fully prepared for this event. And this was the same phenomenon for all rankers around the world. Except for one person. Hmm..... You seem to have moved your head quite a bit in this event..... Jaeyoung looked at the event step by step. As he sat in front of theputer and looked at the heated reactions of numerous users, he somehow felt an inexplicable sense of rtive deprivation. Levels and skill proficiency are things that have nothing to do with me... so you put these things up as rewards, right? Whether it was because he suffered a painful blow with a bamboo spear the other day or because of the many tricks hemitted, this event looked like he had thoroughly prepared for it. Each of you can choose one field to participate in this event, and you cant get items like items as rewards. An event where titles are all rewards. In a way, it was called an event for rankers, and there were no benefits to regr users, but no one was particrly dissatisfied with this situation. -Oh, isn''t this event map a joke? -It''s like Fantastic Ind, which was shown on the Korean continent the other day. - It''s very different from back then. I heard that it is a theme park that Mizuni is risking its life and death to develop? -hit. They say it''s almost twice the size of California. -Wow..... Isn''t that enough to just get lost in a theme park? Fantastic Ind, which was roughly created as an event map in the Arcadia Korean branch in the past. However, Mizuni, the world''s No. 1 entertainmentpany, was greatly inspired and shocked by it. The theme park they were developing through a technology agreement with Arcadia Co., Ltd. was being built on an unprecedented scale beyond imagination. [We are pleased to announce to all of you that the world''s first integrated event, the World''s First Martial Arts Competition, to be held in Arcadia this time, will be held in Fantastic Universe'', which is being developed by Mizuni. In Fantastic Universe, tens of thousands of different activities are waiting for you. You can experience fantastic, dreamy, beautiful, and terrifying adventures that you can never experience in real life with your loved ones, and through them you will be able to provide unforgettable memories.] The first virtual reality theme park, Fantastic Universe . This Fantastic Universe was literally showing a fantastic appearance to the extent that the president of Mizunisa could not hide his excitement and jumped up and down and showed a straight face. -2 km gyro drop. -Survive from zombies. - Fly on a unicorn. -Elf''s healthy cooking ss. Apocalypse horror experience where you can survive by running away from real zombies, from dizzying rides with dangerous levels that you wouldn''t even dare to attempt in reality. And even content that rides on animals that exist only in your imagination, enjoys dreamy moments, and adventures. Literally all sorts of things to see and enjoy, general users were sold their eyes. -It''s impossible to win anyway, so you have to enjoy the theme park for free. -Is all the food free this time? -DDDDD;; Swim with mermaids! -These mermaid eyes..... I''m dying..... -Kiaaaaang. Mizini is the best! -I like this event. Arcadia had a lot of trouble in its own way. Users showing favorable reactions here and there. However, unlike those users, Jaeyoung''s reaction was tepid. This event doesnt seem to be particrly fast. Unlike other users, Jaeyoung does not have the concept of level and skill proficiency. No, skill proficiency existed, but the skills he could acquire were very limited due to the limitations of his job and theck of a level system. What do you mean if you set a level limit on all magic or sword skills? Anyway, it''s like this shit mange game without any countermeasures. The books of magic filled in Cervenian''s study. Despite the situation in which a wizard would drool and say that he would die, Jaeyoung did not even think of learning magic. [Insufficient level] [Unable to learn skills] Since there are no levels, magics that cannot be learned except for the basic 1-2 circles. Of course, Jaeyoung''s ability level itself was pathetic, so even if he acquired it, he probably wouldn''t be able to use it properly, but the fact that all his magic books were rice cakes with good looks was disrespectful to think about. Well... I''ll just have to wait and see this time. An event that seems like there would be no benefit to participating in it. That''s why Jaeyoung, who was thinking of going around the theme park with Jaekyun, who grimaced that we would go together, suddenly came across a post on Arfandia. hmm....? This....? [It''s really unfortunate. It''s not me!] A post that came up saying it was unfair. I''m not sure what''s unfair, but I just thought it was a general aggro and didn''t even pay attention to it. However, Jaeyoung froze for a moment when he saw the shiny nickname that seemed to belong to the author of the article. And soon, unconsciously, his frontal lobe whispered, I can''t stand this.....'', and he clicked on the post. [Choco Pie Joea] -I''m not the owner of that channel, which is the daily life of the destroyer! It''s just a nickname, it''s not really me! Even if you look at my ount information, it''s different from the owner of that channel! You fucking bastards! I don''t know why I look just like that bastard! I seriously asked my parents if there were any twins left at the orphanage, and they even got beaten up. I''ve never instigated your ve contracts in the Pagon mines, and I''ve never been to an elven vige! I''m a dwarf, fuck you! Stop bothering me! not me! No! No! These fucking bastards!!!!!!!!!! A post that seems to be wrapped with a feeling of vomiting blood in resentment. He didn''t properly write down the reason for his injustice, but Jaeyoung roughly imagined the hardships he must have suffered. Because of you, our friend became a ve in the mine! Search! sir? Could it be that the destroyer is the Choco Pie of everyday life? Are you friends with Dex? sir? What is the brand of Dex panties? Sir! Choco Pie! I''m dope! What is your job? How to make friends with slime? Let me tell you the secret. Are you that old? Let''s float together. Mythical level item Deceiver''s Mask. The original owner of the nickname that Jaeyoung often used whenever he was ying games. Acquainted with deck fans and those suffering from very contracts, and receiving aggro from a lot of curious users, he continued to y Arcadia without giving up yet. As a level 82 warrior. Chapter 239 Chapter 239 Choco Pie Joa (2) 24-year-old Lee Chan-hee, an ordinary military student returning to Korea. After being discharged from the military, he returned to college and at the same time invested the money he had saved his entire life in Dreamer, a virtual reality connector that he had been waiting for since the military. Keuhehehe... Is this the virtual reality youve been hearing about? It wasn''t until the 4th day after Arcadia officially opened that Chani installed the connector. He essed mankind''s first virtual reality game with high expectations. And like everyone else, I was horrified. wow! It feels just like real life. Absolutely amazing! A beginner vige bustling with huge crowds. Buying and selling something and heading somewhere busily... The world in Arcadia full of energy. There, Chani... no, Choco Piejoa saw the quest window that flew to her and realized what she had to do first. Hmm... the wooden sword is the basic equipment... you mean to catch the slime, right? Choco Piejoa, who has been looking for information on the basic strategy in the beginning, in advance on the Inte. He went out of the beginner vige without thinking and arrived at the slime''s habitat. Kwuuuung! Kwyung! What? The slimes bouncing around making strangely cute cries. Choco Paijoa swung her wooden sword with a face full of anticipation as she saw that the other beginners were invisible and only slimes filled the wide meadow peacefully. Yap! pug. The wooden sword mmed straight into the slime''s head with a dull sound. However, the slime cried out as it turned around and looked at him as if he were doing something. What? And that was his first death. [You have died. Pay attention to y.] What! What is this! From the beginning, he went to theher road in one shot. Choco Paizoa, who was forcibly given a 24-hour ess restriction penalty, soon became enraged at the fact that the entire beginner vige had been disintegrated for some reason (?), but soon began to adapt to the game slowly. Whew..... The game is harder than I thought. Except for university lectures, he devotes almost all of his time to Arcadia. However, despite his efforts, his growth was sluggish, and each of the so-called rankers started to get ahead of anyone else with their own secrets. Hidden ss..... At least I should have gotten a hidden quest..... Arcadia''s system allows you to find hidden content that no one thought of and clear it, rather than a regr and ssic hunt, and get a lot of rewards when you clear it. However, such luck did not follow Choco Paijoa. Hey... let''s just quietly hunt. He settled down somewhere in the Maroon Kingdom, made a fixed party member, hunted, and enjoyed ordinary games. But one day, his life suddenly began to change. you! You damned cheater! I finally found it! Who are you! Who am I? He''s the older brother of the guy you scammed and turned into a ve in the mines! Are you still human? yes? and mine ves? What does that mean... Where did this bastard get away from! Posting a video like that openly on Arpendia! When is my me! I never did! This baby just checked on your channel, but he''s not talking about anywhere ... Hey! [You have died. Be mindful of your y.] Choco Pie Joea, who was being PKed while listening to the scammers, surrounded by angry users who did not know who they were. It was not long before he discovered the cause. What is this! A channel called the daily life of a destroyer. [how is it? It''s so easy to make money, isn''t it?] A video that is attracting people saying that it is a secret to making money posted there and that the mining is good. The video was filmed strictly from the point of view of the yer, so it was not clear who exactly it was, but in addition to that, in another video posted on the channel, there is a person who appears in the third person. Looking at him, Chani was shocked. [Choco Piejoa] A user with the same nickname as himself. Of course, it was possible to use the same nickname because Arcadia allows duplicate nicknames. The problem was that his face looked so much like Chani''s that it was like looking in a mirror. It''s the same situation that it wouldn''t be strange if anyone would misunderstand that he was that damned swindler. So, Chani filed a report on impersonation with the gamepany, but the result was iprehensible. [After checking the requested inquiry, no problems were found. ] Who the hell is that fucking bastard running around over there? fuck this! Are you really going to do itter? Choco Piejoa is suddenly used of being a scammer and is being chased by users who don''t even know her face. It was so unfair that he felt like going crazy and jumping, but his suffering didn''t end there. [Guys, if everyone is gathered, let''s go and punish the orcs.] [Now, everyone. Today''s content is about saving the world tree.] [Rebel and quietly die, you fucking bat.] [Choco Piejoa is a friend I know personally.] Slime control situation. World Tree Crisis. And Dex''s professed real-life friend. All the videos posted on the channel called Daily Life of the Destroyer aroused excessive interest in Chani. uh! Choco Pie Joada! Are you really friends with Dex? I want to see you make slime, but can I show you one more time? Sir, sir. Some items. Choco Pie... You swindler! Normally, the nickname is set to private, but it is a nickname that must be made public for party hunting or dungeon hunting. However, he had to go through difficulties each time attracting a lot of attention and aggro, so in the end, he always had no choice but to y solo. This fuck! What the hell is that bastard! On the day that he was killed by users who had ill feelings towards that damned impostor, Chan-hee, who was gued by evil, would write on Arfandia every day, saying that he was a real Choco fan. So, from the moment he started the game until now, the first anniversary, he has been living a strange life that he has never yedfortably for a day. Without even knowing who the culprit was. Hmm... This person... must have been pretty tough. A real choco pie. Looking at each of the writings he left in Arpendia, Jaeyoung muttered a strange feeling of guilt as he read almost thousands of exnatory texts. - I am the real Choco Pie. -That guy is an impersonator! I''m real! -I got confirmation from my parents today. Not even twins! -X feet! Come see the video on my channel! I''m the real Choco Pie! -Ah-oh! Damn kids! That''s fake! I''m a real choco pie lover! ? ?????! -This X foot!!!!!!! This x baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa The title of his post seems to be falling into madness as time goes by. No matter how much he exined and exined, there was no way people could distinguish Choco Piejoa, who even had the same face, so no one would listen to him even if he made a sincere appeal with a feeling of vomiting blood. Well... even if it''s exined like that in the game, there''s no way anyone would bother to check it out in Arpendia. Arpendia, which can only be found on the web of aputer. There was no way anyone would be idle enough to listen to his sincere exnation while still connected to Arcadia. But... I feel a little sorry. He seemed to be at level 82, no matter how much he suffered. Now that a year has passed and the number of top rankers running toward 200 has increased, it was easy to see how seriously Choco Paijoa was falling behind without checking. Ahhhh... if I died by ident... A deceivers mask that can be disguised only for those killed by oneself. Among the tens of thousands of victims who died directly from Jaeyoung and those who died from enhanced slimes, the character Choco Piejoa identally got caught by randomly taking pictures. In his unfortunate circumstances, like a trick of fate. And because he went around messing around with his identity without thinking. Jaeyoung felt pain in his pure conscience as a human being. Um... what should I do? Should I bail you out? I wouldn''t know if I passed by without knowing. Jae-young, who was a bit stumped by just pretending not to know this pitiful fact. He muttered with a strange smile as if he had juste up with a good idea. Then I picked up my phone and called someone. Yes boss. long time no see. How are you? It''s not different, but I''m curious about something. * * * Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. She was taken aback by the sudden call from Jae-young, a subject of interest, but soon began to quickly analyze the reason in her head. Hmm... What are you curious about about this event? [I n to participate as a disguised person wearing a deceiver''s mask. But I was curious about who the reward goes to when I win in camouge.] If I win while wearing the deceiver''s mask, who does the reward go to? In response to this question, CEO Lee Mi-yeon answered in a firm tone. Of course, I will go to Jaeyoung. The Mask of the Deceiver camouges thenguage of the system, but it does not distort the actual reward system. President Lee Mi-yeon tells her not to worry because the reward will never go to someone else. At her words, Jaeyoung murmured in a slightly disappointed voice. [Um..... is that so? I can''t do that.....] Yeah...? President Lee Mi-yeon asks back in a questionable voice at Jae-young''s muttering, as if having trouble telling her that the reward will go to her. Jaeyoung''s subsequent request made her look more and more confused. [Perhaps... can''t we just hand the reward over to the character with the disguised identity?] What the hell are you talking about...? You want to give up your reward? President Lee Mi-yeon asks with an expression of Why the hell?'' However, Jaeyoung asked again in a desperate voice without saying anything. [How can I not? I''m begging you like this. Yes?] Jaeyoung earnestly asks with a voice mixed with aegyo. And at that moment, thoughts and nightmares shed through her mind that if she refused this request, something more unbearable would happen in Arcadia. Um... wait a minute. President Lee Mi-yeon, who had been struggling for a while with aplicated face. She held the receiver in her hand and immediately asked Ellis. Alice, is it possible to apply the case requested by the Dex user? [Let''s check your inquiry.] Elise was silent for a moment, saying that she would check it. And she soon gave an answer to that question. [Myth level item Deceiver''s Mask. It is a protection for user ount information protection, and its performance is limited. This can be done by partially disabling the protection.] What do you mean by that? Are you Protect? CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked again, narrowing her eyebrows at Alice''s answer, which she couldn''t understand. And she confirmed again with a twitch at Alice''s detailed exnation. So... Originally, everything was supposed to go to the disguised target... but that function was blocked because of the protection? [Yes.] Then, originally, it was correct that thepensation was passed, but to protect the disguised user, the performance was downgraded... Originally, the applicable case was blocked . So, to Jaeyoung''s question, Alice gave the answer that it was possible. [This is an applicable matter with the administrator''s permission. What would you like to do?] ..... At that, President Lee Mi-yeon held the receiver for a while and pondered. Then he frowned and thought to himself. What... is there something special?'' The aftermath of the storm that woulde if he refused the request was a more terrifying opponent, so President Lee Mi-yeon nodded with a shy expression and said, okay. I will approve, so do whatever you want. [All right. We will cancel the application of limited-time protection during this event period.] Jaeyoung stumbled upon the crazy postings he left behind. Choco Pie suffered endlessly for a long time of a year because he still had a bit of conscience left in him. Joa was saved that day. Through the world''srgest integrated event called the World''s First Martial Arts Competition. Chapter 240 Chapter 240 Fantastic Universe (1) The world''s first virtual reality theme park and a superrge project promoted by Mizuni, risking its fortune. Fantastic Universe. As soon as the system message announcing the start of the event popped up, the people waiting in Arcadia for the opening of this ce moved one after another to this fantasy world. [Go to the event map.] [Wee to the Fantastic Universe.] People who reappeared in an unknown ce after the background of the ce where they were just changed in an instant. Those who were perplexed while adapting to the sudden reversal of their surroundings had no choice but to open their mouths when they saw the enormous castle in front of them. - Fantastic Universe. Mizuni & Arcadia Co., Ltd. A huge castle, a symbol of Mizuni in fantasy stories. The fact that the castle of fantasy, which he had always seen only on video, was in front of his eyes. And people eximed in admiration at the logos of Mizuni and Arcadia Co., Ltd. engraved in the enormous size of the castle. Wow... isnt that a joke? This is great. Isnt the scale iparable to other theme parks? Is it because it''s virtual reality... It''s really beyond imagination. A building built on a scale that no one dares to imagine. Its size, which seemed to make you feel awe just by looking at it, was huge, but the mystical sights and entertainment that were spread out inside the huge gate thrilled those who had not yet entered it with anticipation. Wow... a lot of things look really interesting. You have to stand in line to ride something like an activity, right? I need to get ahead quickly. But how do you do this? Do you want to just go in? People who hesitate in a situation that is presumed to have been summoned in front of the entrance to the Fantastic Universe. However, they soon found a being floating in the middle of the castle far away, revealing its presence even more. [Kihahahaha! Long time no see adventurers!] Huh? It''s a goblin! Isnt that... the goblin from before? who? You know, that goblin from Jukchang Daejeon. A goblin who was in charge of the Jukchang Daejeon in the past. I don''t know if it''s the same guy as back then, but he wore a neat and neat tuxedo, disyed himself in a huge hologram, and greeted everyone with a very loud voice. [Fantastic Universe will be temporarily open to all adventurers around the world for just one month from now! There are so many things to do and see, so I hope all the adventurers who visit this ce will make pleasant memories.] Temporary open for a month. At those words, the serious determination of other users burst out here and there. Wouldnt a month be enough time to see everything? What... if I dont watch that martial artspetition and walk around, wont something work out? Idiot, you should see that. That''s the highlight of this event. You really have to try all the food served here. Mermaid sister! I''ll be going soon! Wait a minute! brother! Brother, where did you go? This project was promoted by Mizuni, not anywhere else, evenpletely scrapping the existing theme park construction. Therefore, people''s interest in this event was enormous all over the world. [Hmm..... That''s great. Over 200 million adventurers have already visited this ce.] 2 200 million? Such crazy... so many? Did the map open just now? This... doesnt it take a lot of time to enter? If it were a normal theme park, it would be a nightmare situation where the whole day would pass just by standing in line. However, in this virtual world, these problems were not even a problem. [It''s probably a waste of time to let all these people in one by one... First of all, should all the people waiting nowe in and talk?] Right. omg! What! The people moved into the castle in an instant with the snap of the goblin''s finger. They suddenly shouted in surprise at the numerous activity equipment and spectacles ced next to them. [You can freelymunicate with adventurers who speak othernguages, and there are also portals where you can freely move to the ce you want as needed! There are many amenities and facilities to help you enjoy as much as possible, so make sure you make good memories. Giggles.] A goblin who makes a sinisterugh andughs with a smirk. And he hurriedly added to the people as if he had forgotten. [ah. And for a week from now, we will be epting applications from those who will participate in the World''s Best Martial Arts Competition'' to determine the strongest adventurer. The preliminaries will be held on the Battlefield of Fame'' located in the center of the universe, and anyone who wants to enjoy the glory of being the strongest should apply . Exaggeratedly, he stretched out all the way up to the sky and shouted. [wee! Ladies and gentlemen around the world! Wee to Fantastic Universe, a fantasy theme park jointly produced by Mizuni and Arcadia!] Pupperpuppung. Puff puff puff puff. Those words and a staggering amount of firecrackers going off on a grand scale. In this way, people began to look around with faces full of anticipation to tour this theme park that was covered in veil. Also, while listening to the goblin''s savage warning (?) that he added as if he had forgotten something. [Oh. And if you don''t want to be split in half and die, don''t make a fuss while doing nonsense here.] * * * Fantastic Universe. There, Jaekyun was waiting for someone with a nervous expression on his face. I was told to wait here... He had been waiting for a long time at the ce we promised to meet over the phone. However, the one who patted him on the back was a young man with a face he had never seen before. W Long time no see. uh....? Who... could it be Jaeyoung...? Jae-kyun is embarrassed to see a stranger smiling round and round and pretending to be friendly. However, Jae-gyun was initially taken aback by the familiar feeling as if he had experienced something before, but then asked with round eyes as if he realized that it was Jae-young. what. Are you undercover here too? of course. With so many people, how do you go around covering your face? Then what the hell are you going to suffer from? A deck fan that is everywhere and nowhere. Jaekyun nodded, imagining the disaster that would happen if the terrifying beings he might encounter somewhere in this fantastic universe found Dex. Well... Come to think of it, I guess so... Jaekyun nodded and asked, as if he understood the pain of Jaeyoung desperately running away from the perverts shouting at her ck panties. So... who is that person? Ah, this...? Jaeyoung rubbed his face with the palm of his hand and smiled. Choco Pie Joe. who....? There is a face I often use when filming videos. Destroyer''s everyday life channel. Jae-kyun shouted as if he had remembered immediately after seeing Jae-young''s words, because he had seen all the videos uploaded there. uh. is that so? Somehow, it felt familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere... Jaekyun looked at Jaeyoungs face here and there with an expression of wonder. In response to his burdensome reaction, Jaeyoung slightly pushed him away and said. By the way... what are you going to do? Are you willing to participate in this event? hmm? Oh, are you talking about this martial artspetition? Jae-Kyun waved his hand at Jae-Young''s question. He said emphatically as if there was absolutely no hope. There is no answer at my level. Besides, the so-called rankers arent kidding about their items, and their skill proficiency and physicals arepletely monster-level, so winning is absolutely impossible. Jaegyun is now a little over level 100. His job was also the most popr prosecutor ss, so in fact his judgment was cold, but it was reasonable and realistic. Well..... As there are many people, there will be more talented people than other jobs...'' Instead of being the most popr and easily obtainable job, the rankingpetition is fierce. In the meantime, Jaeyoung nodded as if he understood, as he had a lot of abilities that were not enough to aim for the championship. Well... if that''s what you think, then I understand. So, are you going to just look around and y around here? Ah, thats not the case... I heard that there is a training center here where you can raise your skill proficiency, so Im going to raise my swordsman skill proficiency a bit harder there. hmm? Is there anything like that? of course. Among the people whoe here to Fantastic Universe, there are probably people whoe just to y, but there are probably a lot of people who came because of that training ground, right? A training center that is open only for this event. It was a trump card specially prepared by Arcadia Co., Ltd. for the rapid growth of the sluggish skill ranks, and a huge carrot for users who would rectify this enormous confusion. [You can use the training center with the points earned while enjoying the event.] [In the training center, the skill proficiency increase is tripled.] The training center benefits prepared so that everyone can enjoy the first-ss product of this event, the proficiency increase effect, albeit on a limited basis. Jaeyoung, who had no particr meaning in the skill rank, passed it on because he had no particr interest, but since that was not the case with other regr users, everyone was busy doing something. hey! If you stamp all the dreamy dungeon stamps here, you get 300 points! omg? Where is it! Aaaaaaaa! A new ski jumping record! 1500 points! point! point! point! People wandering around frantically trying to earn points while enjoying various activities. Jaeyoung shook his head with a smile as he seemed to have the fundamental racial characteristics of Koreans and gamers when he saw that he was obsessed with which one can efficiently umte points quickly'' rather than enjoying various rides. Even here, everyone is ying the game so hard... Koreans are enthusiastically participating to the extent that the asional foreign yer looks at them strangely. As I was muttering while watching them, Jaekyun asked in a quiet voice. So... I decided to go around with Chaeyeon. What will you do? what? With Chaeyeon? Jaeyoung turned around with a shocked face at those words. However, Jaekyun said it shyly as if it was nothing special with a slightly embarrassed face. No, its not anything special..... We just kept in touch the other day... The story of the event came out by chance... Wow... You guys even contacted me personally. ....? Since when the hell...? A situation where there seems to be a lot of things that need to be exined. However, as if he was ashamed of this whole situation, Jaekyun evaded his words with a face as red as a carrot. Anyway... so what do you want to do? Do you want to go around with Chaeyeon and me? Or do you have something else to do? When Jae-gyun asked what he was going to do, Jae-young thought for a moment. What is it?'' There was nothing to do. However, there was no thought of wanting to be between the two of them, so Jaeyoung jumped up from her seat and said. I pass. There is someone to meet separately, so spend some time together. I''ll join youter. okay? By the way, who do you want to meet? Jaekyun nced at those words and asked with a curious face. Jaeyoung said nothing to him. A guy you know. I''ve met you. me....? who....? Jaekyun tilts his head with a puzzled face, not knowing who he is. Jaeyoung said to him with a strange smile. Former mine ve No. 1. Chapter 241 Chapter 241 Fantastic Universe (2) A middle school boy, Joong-sik Lee. yer name: I am Yattongson. He had to dig iron ore in a mine for a long time with no promise after being captured by Baron Mikhail, who had be the devil of capitalism because of a contract he inadvertently signed. But it was none other than one person who saved such a meal. [If I make you free... are you prepared to do anything?] [Be good to me in the future, you son of a bitch.] Rescue yourself helplessly bound by shackles as a ve and use your old hammer A person who has turned a sacred object into an unknown myth. Dex. He freed himself, who was just a low-level user without any special abilities or skills, from very and put himself in Helium''s workshop, which is also called a master by dwarves. It was not enough to do. But... a dwarf race said to have been born with God''s blessing for dexterity. Among them, the helium workshop, where the dwarves called geniuses gather, the helium workshop was too harsh an environment for Jungshik, a mere human without any special talents, to survive. You useless child! Why can''t you listen even if I tell you? Anyway, all humans are shit! Did you make this a weapon now? I feel sorry for the iron ingot you used! I''m not going to quench it like that... Human hyung... are you really stupid? Umm... if you make such trash in front of me one more time, then I wont let you go. Joong-sik is frustrated and pessimistic about his lowly talent. Even though it''s a game, he, a sensitive adolescent of puberty, despaired at the huge wall in front of him. Wrong.....I guess I''m far from being a cksmith..... He thought about giving up and running away countless times a day. However, Jae-young, who came to him again, warmed up the burning passion in his heart that waspletely cooling down. [The tenacity and tenacity to never give up on hitting iron with a heavy hammer while enduring the scorching heat that stifles the breath. With that indomitable will and conviction, isn''t the one who burns his soul through millions... no, tens of millions of hammer hits a true cksmith?] His talent that no one else has seen. Looking at the talent that even Jung-sik himself was not aware of, he said. [I believe in you.] And just like that, his fate waspletely reversed. plete dullness. pitiful bastard. Crazy fucking game. From a scarred and ipetent middle school student who was afraid of reality and ran away into a virtual world. As a craftsman with a strong spirit and will to do it without giving up on anything without yielding to any hardships and fears. Hyung, its been a long time. Uh... is that so? But have you really changed a lot? It''s the first time I''ve met in half a year. However, his appearance was so different that it could be said that he was apletely different person from the first time I saw him. Youve lost a lot of weight... and the atmosphere has changed a lot, right? Have you been exercising hard? Hehe..... Well... I''m trying to live a little more decently in real life. Arcadia is projected as it is unless it is a special case such as a disabled person. That''s why Jaeyoung looked at the lunch that had changed 180 degrees from before and said with pride. You look great. ..... Joong-shik smiles with delight at Jae-youngs in, heartfelt words without saying anything. While resolving their long-awaited meeting, the two started talking about what had happened so far. So, do you know how much trouble I suffered because of that GM top this time? I even borrowed a hand from the damn freaks called Deck Fans... Joong-sik listened intently to Jae-youngs story with wide-eyed eyes. At that time, Jae-young was excited to see him like a child who listens well and continues to talk. Suddenly, a hole appeared in the air, and then something came out like a bullet. Quaaaaaaaagh. Kuek! Hmm..... Where is this again? It''s a dimension I''ve never seen before... Tan, the king of the demons, rolls on the floor from a distance and appears spectacrly, unable to ovee the eleration. And the archangel L, who appears following him with graceful wings. Seeing the two unexpected guests, Jaeyoung looked at them with his mouth wide open. However, as if Jaeyoung didn''t care, Tan jumped up and looked at L with a tear-jerking look and shouted. You damn chicken! How dare you push it into a dimensional rift like that? You really almost died! Tan, who was really close to dying, is emitting ck magic all over his body. To his vehement protest, L responded as if he was sincerely sorry. I see... Next time, I''ll try to be a little more certain so that you can be killed. This crazy bitch... hey! Tan and L suddenly appear in front of Jaeyoung and start fighting. Looking at the two of them like elementary school students, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh. Haa... those fucking leeches... Yes? brother? What did you just say? Two transcendental beings who personally show the life and death of an imp and a baby angel that would be worth paying money to see right in front of them. It was a fight that Jaeyoung was tired of now, but it was lunch that he asked with puzzled eyes with round eyes as if he couldn''t see it. It''s nothing..... More than that, are you nning to participate in this event? This event? okay. Looking at it, it seems that the production line also had a separate event prepared? Arcadia''s main scenarios that have been filled with battles and blood so far. In particr, in the case of the Korean branch, such a phenomenon was more prominent, and the dissatisfaction of nonbat upations who were alienated from this mainstream trend worldwide was enormous. -Are you fucking fighting? Why are all the quests rted tobat only? -I wonder if I did a production job to do this. -Awaken the damn management team! Production workers are also users! - Hey, are you kidding that we have few people? Aren''t we users? -The main scenario Gimme'' for production workers. So, in this event, we prepared a separate battle for production workers. However, Jungsik said in a tone that he was not very interested in such apetition. Hmm... I was just going to get a little bit of points and use it to raise my jewelry crafting rank in the training ground or something... Jung- shik, who had thoughts simr to most ordinary users. However, Jaeyoung strongly rmended him. Still, do you think winning is just possible with you? You''re working at Helium, the best workshop for dwarves, not anywhere else. Thats true, but... There are probably many people who are better than me in the world, right? There must be many people who are active as real artisans or masters in real life... I still have a long way to go topete with them. Arcadia, a fictional world that is more real than reality. Therefore, those who stood out as production workers here were often experts in rted skills in real life. cksmith. carpenter or engraver. artist. designer. and cook. Celebrities who are active in various fields and industries and boast a high reputation. Even the high-quality items created by their hands in the game are made based on the know-how and technology umted over a lifetime. It was a little different from the items made by relying on mythical items like those of Chinese food. Besides, when ites to production jobs, everyone uses the same materials and crafting items. Unless I can use Vulcan''s hammer, it''s probably hard for me topete with them and win. Chinese food, which has yet to experience a high level of professional technology and know-how. That''s why he wasn''t wrong, but Jaeyoung looked at him staring at him and smiled. What... I thought it hadpletely changed, but you still have the same side? yes....? Jung-sik asks with a nk expression as if he doesn''t understand Jae-young''s words. Jaeyoung said to him. Do you think the talent you have will be lost without the hammer of Vulcan? Don''t you want to take this opportunity to check it out? Jaeyoung muttered in anticipation. His murmur was clearly audible in the middle ear. How much your original skills and abilities that do not depend on items have improved to an iparable level, and where you are in this vast world. ..... Arcadia, a virtual reality game yed by billions of people. There are numerouspetitors you can meet there. It can also be a good experience to check one''s level among them, so Jae-young rmended it to Jung-sik, who was standing in a daze. Well... participating in thepetition is entirely yours, but I rmend going anyway. Uh..... Oh and I''m going out too. yes....? Brother...? Chinese food is startled by the words. And then he looked at me with bright eyes and asked. What sport are you ying in? No, more than that, what the hell is your job? You use magic and melee sword fighting isn''t a joke...? This event is divided into sses for each job. The so-called World''s First Martial Arts Tournament. Therefore, when applying, you must choose a job that is suitable for you, so it was an event where you could not create a situation in which you wiped out everyone alone, like the previous Jukchang Daejeon. Can you afford more than that? The mere fact that your brother participated must have attracted a lot of people''s attention...? Dex. A secret game genius who revolutionized the world of gaming. Until now, the number of people who actually saw his true face had been secretly ying, so there were a lot of people who would show a mad look at the appearance of Dex. Especially in this Fantastic Universe, where Deck Fanmoo, a group of dyssexuals shouting ck, is hiding everywhere. However, Jaeyoung said as if he was talking about such concerns about lunch. Are you going to leave because I was shot in the head? At this event, I thoroughly like Choco Pie, I like Choco Pie. Jaeyoung pats her face lightly with her palm and introduces herself as Choco Piejoa. At his words, Jung-sik tilted his head and asked. Who is that? There is a pitiful person who bleeds because of me. yes....? He felt like he was going a little crazy because no one believed him. ...? Anyway, I think its because there are things like that of an adult. Jaeyoung wags his hands and blurts things out because he is toozy to exin. Then Tan and L flew in with twinkling eyes and sat on Jaeyoung''s head to see how much things had been sorted out. Master, what strength do you need this time? Shouldn''t I use my strength? that''s right. Last time I borrowed power from that devil, so this time it''s my turn. ...What kind of fucking logic is that? Shut up, you greedy ugly bat. No, since when did you decide the order, you damn chicken! Ebebeb. I can not hear you. This is really...! The two try to fight over Jaeyoung''s head again. I don''t even think about the person who will give me rice cakes, but Jaeyoung said, grabbing the tan and el to drink from the kimchi soup with both hands. I dont need either of you this time, so stop fighting. Eh? What are you talking about? that''s right. You don''t need our power? Tan and L with puzzled faces. Jaeyoung said with an evil smile to Jungshik, who was looking at him with dumbfounded eyes. From now on, Im a Elementalist Choco Pie. Chapter 242 Chapter 242 Spirit Commander, Choco Piejoa (1) The World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament. Unlike the Jukchang Daejeon, which was a real-time unlimited survival game, this event was conducted one after another under thoroughly established rules. Participants in the tournament will automatically battle one-on-one with matched opponents. It is not possible to change the application event, and once eliminated, you cannot try again. Except for the production ss, there are no restrictions on items to wear. However, the number of consumable items is limited. If you attempt malicious match-fixing, you may be restricted from using the game ording to the operating guidelines. . . . The rules of thepetition are extremely well written. Jaeyoung licked his lips with a look of pity, feeling the will of the operators to block all tricks and fouls in advance as if they would not give any loopholes. Yeah... is it because it''s a bigpany? This time, the defense is extremely thorough. The event seemed to be perfectly prepared to go ording to their n, as if to make up for the painful failure in the Jukchang Daejeon. In particr, the reward itself of the event, unknown to others, was of no use to Jaeyoung, so it was no different from achieving the most important purpose for the operators. This is because the person to be most careful of did not show the will and passion for winning. [Searching for a matching target...] A message shing in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes as if he was looking for someone. While waiting leisurely while watching it, Tan grumbled with a pouty face. No, why is it the power of that damn sapling? The real owner didnt see it that way, so its disappointing. that''s right. How can I borrow the power of the World Tree? Even though I dont really need probability because I belong to thisnd anyway. Tan and L follow them after seeing only one probability. The two of them looked dissatisfied with Jae-young''s frugal and wise consumption of probability, because it would only benefit them if he somehow let probability go to waste. It can''t be helped. The spirits are not in your control? Seeing that I can''t borrow the power because I don''t have a soul that is good at summoning spirits, what should I do? Ah, so why is it a spirit! Is that really the realm of that damn sapling? that''s right. As I said before, the souls of humans who have contracted with elves or spirits do not belong to either heaven or hell. I want to help, but it is impossible. Summon spirits. The ability to summon the spirits of the spirit realm, which the world tree is solely in charge of channeling, and to manifest their power. That''s why the current reality was that even if I wanted to borrow the power of these two through the spirit, I couldn''t borrow it. Master, dont you just need another power? I''d like to rmend an incredibly strong human soul... I''ll lend it to you at a really cheap price. It''s absolutely free. Tan quietly whispers to Jae-young, as if he wants to get away with a bargain somehow. However, despite his invitation, Jaeyoung''s answer was firm. Sorry, but this time it has to be a spirit. This isnt something I do to please myself, its something I genuinely do to help others. What... helping others...? The owner...? What do you mean? Who are you helping? At that statement, Tan and L looked at each other with absurd eyes. Jaeyoung briefly told the story of Choco Piezoa to them. So... are you saying that the original owner of the face he disguised with my mask continues to be harassed by other adventurers? yes. That... You look pitiful and your conscience pricked you, so you decided to help? ...why are you looking at me like that? It''s like, Your kid? Tan is sending eyes full of disbelief with a face that reads, Really? He said it as if it was natural. No, to be honest, where is the conscience of the owner? If I was a human with a conscience in the first ce, do you think I would have been able to create a textbook for beginner demons with a master like this? I''ve been saying it for a long time, but the behavior of the owner who feeds all humans is something that is possible in the first ce if there is a conscience... Eup! town! Before he could finish his words, Tan was choked by L. As if he wanted to say something more, he struggled and shouted with his eyes wide open, but he was brutally suppressed by L, who was smiling brightly. Good idea. I don''t know what the situation is... but if it''s a decision made to help others, I''ll give it up to the World Tree. A good deed after a really long time. Jaeyoung nodded in response to Ls words, which seemed to be good to see. okay. Thank you for understanding. It was nothing. The moment when the conversation is about to end. Finally, after a long wait, as if the first target was decided, a system message was heard in Jaeyoung''s ears along with a notification sound. [Your opponent has been matched.] [After a while, you will be moved to the arena. 5 4 3 2 1..... move.] After a brief count of 5 seconds, bright light pours around the body. At one point he was standing on top of a giant ring. [Kiki Kiki. The next opponent has arrived.] The goblin greeted Jaeyoung very naturally, probably because the match was already ongoing. Jaeyoung opened his mouth as he looked at the huge stadium, almost the size of a football field, and the huge crowd of spectators who were sitting in the enormous stands surrounding it. Wow..... crazy... that''s really dirty. People so full that I can''t even fathom the number. A stadium in virtual reality where everyone in the world can enter and exit freely. There, feeling the hot energy of the enthusiastic and cheering crowd as if watching a famous sport, Jaeyoung was able to experience the huge potential of virtual reality and its added value once again. -98th duel. -King God Drew VS Choco Piezoa. The names of Jae-Young and his opponent appear on the huge electronic disy board installed in the distance. Seeing this, Jaeyoung opened his eyes wide in surprise and murmured. what? Is there anyone who has already won 97 games in a row? With over 4 billion people ying Arcadia, the world''s first integrated event, the World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament. As it was the first integrated event in history, the management of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who expected that a huge number of people would gather, agonized over many ways to handle the event quickly. The method was decided after a long discussion and consideration. It was a way to y the main match with the champions selected there by simultaneously ying matches in a huge number of arenas. [If you win 100 consecutive wins, that person automatically gets a ticket to the finals. And if no one wins 100 consecutive wins, we will select a finalist from among those with the most consecutive wins.] 100 consecutive wins. A ticket to the finals that can only be obtained by winning 100 battles in a row without being eliminated. No matter how much all stats are restored after each match, the exhausted mental power is not restored, so it is inevitable that the fight will be at a disadvantage. However, this King Goddrew, who almost achieved that ridiculous condition, was a giant boasting an enormous size. Are you... my opponent? Powerful spirit emanating from the swollen muscles no matter how many exercises they have trained. With a bushy beard, reminiscent of a Viking warrior, he exuded a warlike aura as he looked at Jaeyoung with the eyes of a savage beast. King God Drew! King God Drew! Show me the druid''s fear! King God Drew! I bet all my gold on you! Definitely win! Show me the fear of North American rankers! A situation where a huge number of spectators are sending unteral support to Jaeyoung''s opponent, the user. It was buried in their powerful voices, but there were people muttering to themselves while looking at his opponent Jae-young with indescribable eyes in the audience. Choco Pie Joe...? Could it be... isn''t that the destroyer? No way... wasnt that human a warrior ss? yes....? This ce is for summoning sses only... Many people in other countries still don''t know about Choco Piezoa, which has an overwhelming reputation in the Korean continent. Upon hearing that familiar name, the Korean users tilted their heads and began to watch Jaeyoung carefully with a worried expression. [Kiki Kiki..... Then, it seems both of you are ready, so the match between King God Drew and Choco Paijoa starts right away!] Pupper puppuppung. Firecrackers explode in the sky with the goblin''s deration. And at the same time, King God Drew leaped towards Jaeyoung. die! Tiger''s w! His fists are still intimidating because of their enormous muscles. However, at the same time as the skill was activated, his fists turned into tiger paws with tough ws that could split even steel, and flew hard at Jaeyoung''s head. However, Jaeyoung did not panic in the slightest and recited in a low voice. Sylph. Wow. The arena was covered with dust as all kinds of debris flew in all directions along with a tremendous explosion. After a short while, the scene that appeared in front of the audience was Jaeyoung standing a little away from where he was with a calm face, and King Goddrew ring at him with a surprised look. It''s quite good... In the first game, everyone was flustered and rushed as soon as it started, but they were flustered and stupid... You are unexpectedly calm. King God Drew looks a bit embarrassed as if he eliminated many people in this way. To his words, Jaeyoung replied with a sour face. Ah... I know this because Ive done this a lot. In the original fight, the first bread is the best, right? Jaeyoung has already mastered and conquered all fighting games. Although it was his first experience in virtual reality, he said it was natural because it was no different from other fighting games. What kind of skill is that...? Oh this? It''s a spirit summon... don''t you know? A wind spirit, Sylph, flying around Jaeyoung in a translucent state. He looked at him with a strange face as if seeing him for the first time, and then gave a short reply with a snort. I do not know. Its a job that doesnt exist on the North American continent. Ah... it can be. There are few of them even in Korea. Because those nasty lookists discriminate against people so much. What do you mean...? King Goddrew has yet to taste the hot discrimination against the elves. It was too long a story for him to understand, so Jaeyoung waved his hands as if it was nothing. There is such a thing... More than that, North America has an unusual job, right? As your nickname suggests, is your job a druid...? It''s a job I''ve never heard of in the Korean continent... It seems that there are some differences from continent to continent. Arcadia is filled with new things like an onion the more you peel it. Jaeyoung grinned as if he was having fun at the fact that other continents also had something unique. Then, he looked at King God Drew standing nkly in front of him and said. First of all... Ill apologize first. If they had won 97 consecutive wins, they would still be able to advance to the finals, but since they met me and got eliminated, I think I will be a bit upset. what....? King Goddrew asked back as if he was dumbfounded by his words, as if he were sure of his victory. However, Jaeyoung said with an evil smile at him who was looking at him as if he was absurd. Since I gave up on the first bread... its my turn now, right? Woo woo woo. Dozens of spirits suddenly appeared around Jaeyoung. Seeing that, King Goddrew shouted with a shocked face. What is this...! Tiny spirits filling the stadium the size of a football field. As if he was full ofposure even while summoning such a huge number of summons, he gave orders to all the spirits with a grin without the slightest hint of difficulty. Guys, I feel sorry for them, so please step on them gently. Chapter 243 Chapter 243 Elemental Spirit, Chocopaizoa (2) A spirit, a collection of pure elemental energy, responsible for the cirction of all nature in Arcadia. Nature itself and those close to the essence were the purest and cleanest beings in Arcadia, and at the same time possessed extremely demanding and harsh personalities. [I hate you.] [I just don''t like you..... I don''t y with you.] [I like you. It''s cozy.] [It smells good.] Spirits react with extreme likes and dislikes depending on their attributes, even if they are the same person. Therefore, the users who met the aesthetic standards of the elves and learned from them and took their first steps as elementalists could not help but be astonished at the level of difficulty beyond imagination. -When you signed a contract with Smander, Undine got angry and broke the contract and ran away? What is this? -Are you crazy? What should I do if I make a contract with the spirit of the opposite pole? I''m going to lose my affinity with the spirits;; -Originally, when the spirit affinity of one attribute increases, the other attribute decreases by a certain amount. -Just dig one well. Don''t flirt here and there. I don''t know how to be loyal to the butler subject. An atrocious structure in which the affinity of one elemental spirit increases while the affinity of another element decreases. Therefore, those who changed their job as spiritists had no choice but to degenerate into butlers who, while digging only one well, devoted their allegiance to the owner who selected them. -No, how do you increase the spirit affinity? If we just go hunting together, won''t it climb? -lol. Do you expect the butler''s son to take care of his owner and his affinity to rise? -Really;; I''m wondering if I should sit down and wait on you while giving you a massage, but are you crazy? -If you want to increase affinity, think about what the spirits will like. It is the only source that strengthens the power of the spirits in Arcadia, where they can summon higher spirits. Elemental Affinity. However, this wasn''t just about hunting and leveling up. [Do this.....] [Do that.....] [Give me this.....] An affinity that only rises when you do what the spirits want or perform certain actions they might like. It was only then that those who chose the path of the Elementalist could realize. The fact that affinity with spirits means, in other words, goodwill among spirits... no, reputation. That''s why Danju Poongwol of the Hwarangdan, an organization of those who were chosen by the elves and learned spirit magic, could not close his gaping mouth as he saw the scene unfolding in front of him. What the hell... how... Fufufufufufufufufu. The attacks of countless spirits flying in all directions. Seeing King Goddrew resisting them with all his might, he murmured with a trembling voice. [Kuaaaaaa! You damn bastard!] Quaang. How can you summon all the spirits like that... Undine''s small water arrows and Smander''s bright red mes. Sylph''s invisible wind de and gnome''s solid rock attack. Poongwol groaned in disbelief as he watched it pour down on only one person. This is nonsense. What the hell is that kid? It has been less than half a year since the existence of the spirits and the method of transferring to the spirits were revealed. Poongwol, who passed the Elves'' difficult face evaluation faster than anyone else at the time and was promoted to the first Elementalist. That''s why he was feeling tremendous pride in the title he had acquired, and firmly believed that he was ahead of any other user in spiritism. [Title first Elementalist.] A title that confirms that you have changed your job for the first time. However, the scene unfolding before his eyes was so unbelievable that he had doubts about such a fact. Kwak-kwa-kwa-kwak. A user who alone handles over hundreds of spirits of all attributes. Choco Pie Joe. While the spirits were fighting, Poongwol stood there with a dazed expression as he watched him with a rxed face watching the scene. With a strong sense of defeat that seems like something you can never get out of. It was a battle that even a ranker representing a continent could never win. That''s why King God Drew, who resisted by using even the special moves he had hidden, had no choice but to copse in a gray light without even giving enough damage to his opponent, Choco Paijoa. [King God Drew has been defeated.] [Choco Piejoa''s victory!] [Selected as a preliminary candidate to advance to the finals.] [Current total number of victories: 1/100] Along with the notification of his defeat, the record status appears in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. . Seeing this, Jaeyoung murmured while looking at this and that as if it were interesting. Hmm... Can you see information about the opponent I defeated? A record that contains brief information about the user who has just fought. Looking at it, Jaeyoung smiled as if his prediction was correct. As expected... he turned into an animal, so he did something, and he was a real druid? [King God Druid: Animal Druid] A job title Ive never seen before. I don''t know if it''s amon job in North America, but it was an unheard-of job and an umon fighting method here in Korea, so Jae-young sent all the spirits he had summoned at once with a satisfied smile as if he was having fun. [Summoning of spirits ended.] [Settlement for duration and yer actions begins.] [7800 Probability consumed.] Huh? Are you saying youre only going to rip this off? The probability of taking a little bit to a level that can''t bepared to when you did it once. Seeing this, Jaeyoung stood nkly and muttered, looking as if he had been scammed. No... then, how much did those damn swindlers devour me? The archangel and the archangel king, who often rip off probabilities in increments of 10,000 to 100,000. Jaeyoung couldn''t help but admire the wisdom of the world tree that ims probabilities at a level that is so cost-effective, unlike the two that make the word Changryeol jump out of their mouths. As expected... that''s why people do Shinto Buddha, Shinto Buddha. It was a moment when the wisdom of our ancestors, who favored local, domestic products rather than foreign products from which they were rolled, shined once again. While he made up his mind to be a patriot who favors domestic products, only silence lingered in the spectators watching the whole scene. King God Drew... lost? That one-sided...? North American users who are in great shock. Since they were the signboard users representing their continent and the strongest among all summon users, they couldn''t even imagine losing so mercilessly in the qualifiers, so they couldn''t easily get out of the cognitive dissonance pushed into this unbelievable reality. And it wasn''t just the audience. [What the hell is this...] A goblin in charge of the referee and moderator for the smooth progress of the game. However, he had no choice but to freeze in the situation that had just taken ce with a nk face, forgetting his duty. This is also true because, unlike before, the goblins who were in charge of hosting this event were all employees dispatched from Arcadia Co., Ltd. It is a situation where only those with a lot of talent and quick response to crisis situations are carefully selected and put into each branch. They showed off their hidden talents and acting skills to their heart''s content and perfectly digested the concept of goblins, but at this moment, they couldn''t. Such a fucking foot! What the hell is that bastard?'' Assistant Manager Yang-Cheol Cho of the Crisis Management and Response Team of Arcadia Korea. He broke into a cold sweat as he saw the contestants in front of him who were freely using spirits at an unbelievable level. Isn''t this enough of a bnce and what''s the level of grinding it into a grinder? Isn''t the elemental sage a job nned to this level?'' Various inside information that I learned while rolling around handling the work of various departments in the crisis management response team. The elemental lord''s basic y style he was aware of was by no means ignorant. what? Is it a bug...? If it''s a bug, we couldn''t have known about it.'' Arcadia based on a wless system. Until now, unless there was a problem or error in the nning, there was no case where the system inside the game was manipted due to hacking or illegal programs, so his mind becameplicated with unresolved doubts. Choco Pie Joe... Choco Pie Joe... Where the hell did this bastarde from?'' He unknowingly frowned at the increasing number of thoughts. Since he had the appearance of a wrinkly goblin, Jae-young asked with a puzzled face when he saw him not saying anything with a stern expression on his face. Hey... it looks like the game is over, but isnt it going? At those words, assistant manager Yang-chul Cho came back to his senses. He suddenly came to his senses and soon picked up the microphone while maintaining his concept as a goblin. [Key giggle. What a surprise! King Goddrew, who was shining with 97 consecutive victories, was defeated by the rising god Choco Paijoa.] Deration of Goblin, the referee and moderator of the tournament. Along with him, cheers and mors like bombs erupted from the audience, which had been in silence. Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! What is that! Choco Pie Joe? Are you really not joking? North American guys have been arrogant since a while ago, and their noses have be t. This is a ruined baby! I made a full bet, but I lost it all because of you! This is a scam! fraud! What is that! Ooooooooh! Apparently, since users from all over the world gather, each one has a different reaction. But Jaeyoung knew one thing for sure. Right now at this moment. That there will be six letters in their heads that will never be forgotten. Choco Pie Joe. With that name imprinted in everyone''s mind, Jae-young smiled evilly as he looked at the newpetitor being summoned again. What kind of job are you going to do this time...? The world of Arcadia seems more colorful than I thought. Through this event, Jaeyoung began to enjoy this event for the first time, experiencing unique jobs from other continents and their unique fighting methods for the first time. Should we win with only Smanders this time? Giving yourself all kinds of tricky and vicious penalties. By ying with opponents to the level of ying with them. * * * Level 84 warrior Choco Pie Joa Lee Chan-hee. He also met an unknown user who was filled with tremendous malice and resentment towards him, and after being unfairly killed for no reason, he wrote rage and madness in Arfandia. Aaaaaaa! This goddamn shit mange game is real! The one who let out a shout of anger for a long time in his room. After a bout of fussing to see if his anger was not resolved, he gasped and exhaled heavily before discovering something hanging from the main in Arpendia. uh....? [True Streaming Channel - Destroyer''s Daily Life] The main banner of Arpandia, where only one channel with the most viewers and high traffic is uploaded during the same time period. When that'' channel, which he hates every day and curses all kinds of things, pops up there, he hurriedly moves his mouse and runs the video. [Number of real-time viewers: 321,422,132 people] The number of real-time viewers alone has already exceeded 300 million, a ridiculous figure. It was strange how many people were writingments in real time, so it was strange that the server didn''t explode, so something that looked like text was being written and buried repeatedly at the speed of light. Literally a spectacle watched by people all over the world. And in that video, I could clearly see the Choco Piezoa. The nickname that sparkles above his head, who has the same face as himself, smiles brightly as if he is really happy, and summons all kinds of spirits to fool the opponent. [Choco Piejoa] Upon seeing that, Chani felt as if the string of reason she had been holding on to until the end was severed. And he shouted in a desperate voice as if he was screaming into the monitor. You fucking bastard! Who the hell are you AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Like that, the level 82 warrior Choco Paijoa made a splendid debut in front of people all over the world without even knowing it. With Choco Paijoa, a powerful Elemental Weaver that no one canpete with. Chapter 244 Chapter 244 Human Trash Choco Pie Joa Arcadia''s motto. Limitless freedom and limitless possibilities. In order to realize these two values, unlike other games, Arcadia does not limit upations for skill acquisition and training. [There are no restrictions on job acquisition in Arcadia. Of course, there are limits to the ability levels that must be met to acquire skills for a specific ss group, but... Theoretically, it is possible for a swordsman who has lived only for the sword to acquire Hellfire.] Of course, to do so, tremendous intelligence and Arcadia is supposed to have magical powers, but there is no limit on skill acquisition ording to the job. However, despite the gamepany''s deration, surprisingly, in this game, there were no people who learned and trained skills of all sses to be so-called all-rounders. No, such attempts have existed since the beginning of the game, but none have survived. - Almighty characters don''t exist. There are only japkae, not this or that. - Lol lol. Where are all the guys who pretended to be all-rounders? -Only the leveling is lowered, the skill proficiency is pushed back, and the stats are also low. - The best efficiency is around the dual ss. Anything more than that is bullshit. There are so many jobs and skills that you can''t even guess how much they will end. And it was almost impossible to evenly manage the ranks of those many skills, so most of them were digging only one well, and even if they were dual sses, it wasmon sense to choose from upations that required simr abilities. But..... Themon sense of such people waspletely broken at this moment. Puff puff puff puff. Undine, a low-level water spirit that has been summoned innumerable numbers. Boasting an enormous number to the extent that the word Satan puts them to shame, they were furiously pouring arrows of water at the huge fire golem. Oh you hold up pretty well than I thought? Is it a stone? Chiyiyi profit. A golem that created an enormous amount of steam and withstood the arrows of water poured out by the Undines. However, unlike before, the me, which had been burning fiercely, could not be maintained any longer, and he was swinging his fist at Jae-young, exposing his ck and hard body to the outside. Kwaaang. It''s slow..... The golem''s attack was slow enough to make Jaeyoung yawn. Of course, because of its huge size, it was not easy to avoid it even if you knew the direction, but he avoided the attack with very light movements. Then, he came right up close to his opponent, who was standing there nkly with a stunned expression on his face. Is that golem all there is? Anything else? Summoner Lewis who is a user of the Oceania continent and summons various beings through a contract with the phantom world. He couldn''t even speak properly at Jaeyoung''s sincere look in his eyes. You what the hell are you doing! How the hell did you get so many summons... Lewis, a top-ranked user in the top 100 overall rankings in Oceania. So, he decided to seriously participate in this tournament, aiming to win, and from that day on, he started preparing fully by analyzing the videos of top rankers around the world in Arfandia. Anyway, the Summoning ss is extremely narrow, so it will be possible with a little effort. Slightly fewer than a few hundred rankers from each continent''s summon line. There was no one among them who did not y Arpendia, so after staying up all night for a week and secretly analyzing them, Lewis was able to enter everyone''s weaknesses in his head. Keuhehehe... I''m sure I''ll win this event. Louis, who has the advantage to have an advantage no matter who he faces. That''s why he participated in this event full of confidence, and he couldn''t help but be amazed at the overwhelming power of the opponent he met for the first time. What the hell are you! I figured out all summon rankers from other continents! A hidden strongman not entered into his head. However, Lewis made a strange expression at his question for a moment, and then he couldn''t help but be more confused by his reply with an evil smile. me....? Choco Pie Joe. Choco Choco Pie Joe? Could it be that destroyer...? oh? do you know who i am I''m surprised by this. Among the foreign yers, there are still many people who dont know about it. In the case of the Korean continent, there is no one who does not know, but in foreign countries, Choco Pie Joa is still not well known. That''s why Jaeyoung muttered that he was d to see his reaction, as if he knew who he was. How...? You must have known that you were a warrior, right? He was known as a level 52 warrior during the Slime Crisis. So Louis'' face was full of more questions, but he didn''t answer. That''s... well, it''s a secret, and there''s nothing more to show, right? Are you finished then? Jae-young roughly grasps that Lewis has nothing more to show him. He looked at the unlit me golem fighting a fierce battle with the undines on the other side and said. Guys, lets get things sorted out now. Gnomes! Aaaaaaaaang. The ground of the stadium rises with him. Hundreds of earth elemental gnomes formed staggering spikes and flew at breakneck speed, locking themselves in its gigantic body. Kwajik. The golem was pierced like a thin wooden board with a heavy rupture sound. Seeing that, Louis shouted with a face full of despair. Oh, no! me! Hundreds of water spirits and earth spirits. After being assaulted one-sidedly and overwhelmingly by the Undine and Gnome divisions, he eventually fell to his knees in frustration as he saw them rolling around the arena after being turned into cold stones. [Lewis has lost.] [Choco Piezoa wins!] [100 consecutive wins!] [Choco Piezoa has earned the right to advance to the finals!] Jaeyoung, whostly won 100 victories over Lewis. However, despite his decision to advance to the finals, the crowd''s reaction was muted. ..... Does this... make sense? What the hell is that job? Isnt it a scam? This crazy... Too overwhelming force. Jae-Young''s opponents suffered so badly that they couldn''t even feel the feeling of tension. On the contrary, the spectators who watched him y with his opponent while limiting his power only had doubts about this abnormal strength rather than enthusiastic and cheering. Isnt this a little too much? As for the bnce... it seems like they just gave it away? Hidden ss...? No, even for a hidden ss, this went too far. Is this... is it like an operator super ount? [Keel-kil-kil-kil..... Finally, the first finalists have been decided! Choco Piejoa, the first to achieve 100 consecutive victories and obtain the right to advance to the finals! Please give congrattions and cheering apuse to this challenger!] A goblin trying to make ends meet in this chilly atmosphere. However, despite his efforts,ints and protests began to emerge from here and there. Ooh! This is a scam! that''s right! Summoning should be moderate! How many of them are there? How the hell did you get game bncing! Rather than that, what level is that bastard! The booing that starts with someone''s booing and spreads like a flood. The cry of hundreds of thousands of people. At first, the booing of those who were different was unified into one at some point, and everyone shouted with one heart. rify! Exin! Users asking for rification on this iprehensible situation. It was Assistant Manager Yang-Cheol Cho, who was in charge of this match, who started to get most upset by the hot and enthusiastic reactions of these users. X feet..... Really X.....'' From the first game, Choco Piezoa appeared splendidly bymanding the spirits of an overwhelming scale. As if he had nothing to shy away from, he showed off his strength to the fullest in front of users around the world and confidently won the right to advance to the finals. Of course, this led to serious consequences of mass production of numerous users who raised questions about game bnce and fairness. What should I do...?'' If the game is ended and the spectators are sent back, there will be a huge aftermath. That''s why Assistant Manager Cho Yang-cheol worked hard with all his might for that short period of time, thinking about a solution. Then, holding the microphone in his hand, he flew in front of Jaeyoung and asked. [This... It seems like a lot of people are curious about this winner. Then, before the game ends, shall we ask this glorious winner about the secret of his strength?] A goblin holds out his microphone with an earnest look as if asking for help. Jaeyoung stared at the goblin holding out the microphone for a moment, then looked around at the hundreds of thousands of spectators who were handed the microphone and looking at him. Then, as if something interesting had urred to him, he said with an evil smile. [My name is Choco Paijoa. Nice to meet you.] Jaeyoung started with a light self-introduction. But what he said next made Assistant Manager Cho Yang-cheol freeze. [I''ve been asking for rification since before, but I don''t know what to exin. Are you guys on the same team as those fucking freaks who have been on my channel?] This... is this crazy bastard...?'' An attitude full of arrogance and arrogance. As if he had no intention of gaining favor with the public from the beginning, he continued to act as if he was a yellow-eyed bastard, attracting people''s aggro to the fullest. [Why are you whining about bnce problems when you see that other people are popr?] [They can''t post another job asking for their job to be upgraded, but the problem is with people asking for other jobs to be lowered. Hunt one more time when you are envious and jealous of others.] [You guys should do your best, too. It''s because they don''t put in any effort.] [Obtained less than a spirit lord. ] Oh, is your face not good?] ....? ...? His announcement of his impressions filled with gem-like sayings that stimte everyone''s anger and inferiorityplex, with every word he said and no other lines to skip. As a result, the crowd, already full of dissatisfaction and doubts, was attracted to his top-notch aggro and began to burn their anger. What is that bastard? Arent you fucking lucky? This fucking foot... I know it''s strong, but what''s wrong with the talking cod? Wow... Is it a true story? Choco Pie Joe...? What is that bastard doing? In an instant, all sorts of insults erupted from the hostile audience and started to growl. Master, are you crazy? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Stay still. Its because I have thoughts. No..... The humans over there are in a hurry to kill the owner right now? The spectators were systematically separated from the spectator seats, so if possible, the spectators looked like they wanted to swarm that bastard right away. Receiving their hot and ardent attention, Jaeyoung said with a satisfied smile. [Why pick? If you twist it, you can open it. I''ll deal with them all, soe to where I am.] Even when Satan sees it, he sneers, saying, Ah... this is a bit... Jaeyoung said to the only person who was watching him. [Because whether youe alone or in a crowd of hundreds, I''ll crush you all.] With those words, huge hostility erupted from the crowd. Receiving sincere anger and murderous intent from hundreds of thousands of people, Jaeyoung''s game was forcibly ended by the desperate goblin. The splendid debut of Choco Pie Joa ended so quickly. And as a result, Choco Paijoa has been talked about by countless users around the world. Receiving numerous curses and criticisms that are difficult to even dare to say. By bing the trash that everyone in the world hates and is impatient to talk about. Chapter 245 Chapter 245 Circle 1 Archmage, Angelina (1) Arcadia''s first integrated event, the greatest martial arts tournament in the world. This event, whichmemorates the unification of Arcadia, which is divided into eight continents, and dreams of harmony among people around the world, was proceeding with great sess with more positive responses than the executives and staff of Arcadia Co., Ltd. expected. Users are very satisfied with this event. The real-time interpretation and trantion system allows for freemunication. There do not appear to be any conflicts or hostilities of particr concern. Conflicts that inevitably arise when interacting with people from other cultures. However, the Fantastic Universe, which is full of things to y and enjoy, yed a huge role in reducing the distance between each other by releasing people''s tension and reducing their vignce to the fullest. In addition, inquiries frompanies about Mizuni''s Fantastic Universe are exploding. Global Studio, ourpetitor, has even sent us a request to create their own superrge theme park in virtual reality. It seems that morepanies have seen the true value of virtual reality through this event. [Wow, why don''t you and us create a theme park that''s even bigger than the Fantastic Universe? If you use the IPs of our global studios, you will be able to create golden eggs that generate more profits. I''ll meet the conditions you want as much as possible, so please.....] Fantastic Universe that looks like it''s going to rake in money just by looking at it. Now, it was released in the form of a temporary free opening due to an event, but considering the profits that Mizuni''s first and only virtual reality theme park will make, which will be officially releasedter, theme parks around the world couldn''t help but be nervous. Using Miznisa''s project for this event was a really ingenious n. It was not just used as a stage for events, but it became an example of greatly improving people andpanies awareness of virtual reality. CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who was receiving an interim report on this event. She couldn''t help but acknowledge the ability of the crisis management and response team to transform her n, which she had deliberately created to prank, after hearing the honest feelings of the employees asking her to do nothing. You did well, Manager Kang Tae-hoon. As expected, the managers team never disappoints me. President Lee Mi-yeon praised his hard work with a smile. In response to her praise, Manager Kang Tae-hun made a strange expression, then lowered his head and said, thank you. In order to get rid of that damned bamboo spear, everyone made it after all night long and worried. When you are contemting whether you should like this or not because you are being praised by the person who made you go through such hardships with a puzzled face. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, asked him. Please let us know if you have any difficulties or problems with the progress and operation of this event. This time, I will pay special attention to it. President Lee Mi-yeon usually smiles and refuses to ask for anything. It was a very unusual situation for her to step out and offer help, so Director Kang Tae-hun asked with a nk expression for a moment. Is that true....? Sure. Is there anything you would like to suggest? At those words, General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon rummaged through the documents he was holding as if he was a fish out of water. Ho, then may I ask for information about one user? User? Who are you talking about? CEO Lee Mi-yeon tilts her head with a curious face. What Director Kang Tae-hun brought out to her was a report written by assistant manager Yang-cheol Cho, who belongs to his team. This time.... This is a user who has won the right to advance to the finals in a match that was conducted for summon ss users. However, it was found that there was an excessive bnce problem, so I would like to confirm the situation, but ess to rted information is being restricted. Hmm... If the information you couldnt read, you must be a user who acquired a hidden ss? I''m assuming that''s the case too... but first, let''s look at thebat information written there. A report on the user based on information confirmed through various videos released on Arfandia. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was looking at it, asked back with an absurd face. You summoned hundreds of lesser spirits? All four attributes? That''s right. Hmm... is that a situation that is possible for a normal Elementalist? Could that be? The contents of the report seem a bit strange even to CEO Lee Mi-yeon. Looking at the contents of the thick battle situation, she asked General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon. So... what is this user name? This yer''s name is... Choco Paijoa. At those words, Lee Mi-yeon, who was looking at the report, immediately turned to Kang Tae-hoon. Then she looked at him again with a stiff face and asked. Your username is... what? President Lee Mi-yeon with a serious expression on her face. Director Kang Tae-hoon, with a slightly strange look at her reaction, told her the name clearly again. Its Choco Piezoa. As a user who has reported to the boss several times, he is quite a famous person in Arpendia. He attracted public attention through several videos uploaded on the channel called Destroyer''s Daily Life, and is known to be close friends with the dragon yer Dex'' in real life. The main culprit of the mine ve scam. A whistleblower at the top of GM. The first discoverer of elves. Dex''s best friend. The saint of slime. Choco Pie Joa, known as the source and owner of various incidents and topical rice cakes. He, who had been confined for a long time, appeared again in a very splendid way. Choco Paijoa, the soul sage of unlucky human garbage. First of all, we''re assuming that he acquired a hidden ss rted to spirits from the elves while clearing some kind of quest rted to the elves. I don''t have a job that I can do, so I guess I''ll have to check it out. The first thing to do is to check if it is a bug or if there is a crazy job that has been sent to Andromeda far away for bnce. However, Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, tly rejected his request. Sorry, but I dont think that will work. yes....? yes....?! Director Kang Tae-hoon was at a loss for words at his refusal. Seeing President Lee Mi-yeon, who until just a moment ago had been full of goodwill and said she would listen to anything, quickly changed her posture to her usual self, general manager Kang Tae-hun asked in excitement without realizing it. I have already checked that user. First of all, I can''t tell Director Kang Tae-Hoon all the rted information, but I''ll tell you that it''s roughly simr to what you expected. There are no bugs or anything like that, so don''t worry. You may feel that there is a problem with the bnce, but don''t worry, it''s not necessarily like that. Wandering song of the turbulent world. Jae-young has the power to twist anyw as long as it is guaranteed to be probable. Considering what he had done so far, the current situation was on the very moderate side. Of course, even she couldn''t understand why she was doing this. Is this why I asked who gets the prize?'' Jae-Young, who had called himself before and made a strange request. I didn''t know it at the time, but now President Lee Mi-yeon was able to know what he was nning, albeit vaguely. Except for one thing. Why on earth...?'' Even after Director Kang Tae-hoon left, CEO Lee Mi-yeon had been thinking about what Jae-young was doing now. But no matter how much she thought about it, her head couldn''t understand it. Why is it that Choco Piejoa, which is still standing still, is turned into a world-ss trash? * * * [I''ll join youter. Have a good date, the two of you.] With those words, Jae-young disappeared somewhere. After that, Jaekyun met Chaeyeon for the first time in virtual reality and enjoyed a good time alone. wow! Arent there a lot of really fun things here? Thats right. The food is also really good. yes? The griffon was so cute too! The hair is fluffy... Kyaa! As if she was satisfied with her time in the Fantastic Universe, Chaeyeon smiled brightly as she crossed her arms with Jaekyun. Seeing her like that, Jae-kyun''s heart started beating like crazy. hmm? Jaekyun, where are you sick? What''s wrong with your face? Ugh huh? What am I...? Its so red...? Jae-gyun urgently touches his face at those words. And soon, feeling the heat, he changed the subject in embarrassment. Uh, that... Ah! Chae Yeon-ah! Theres a wizard ss qualifier! huh? where....? That''s right..... Preliminaries of various sses being held simultaneously in hundreds of thousands of stadiums. Jaekyun, who found one of them, naturally turned Chaeyeon''s attention to another ce as if a serpent had fallen over a wall. You''re ying as a wizard too! Would you like to go see it? Hmm... well, thats okay. Then shall we go? I''ve never seen a one-on-one battle between wizards, so I''m curious. Chaeyeon was curious about what Jaekyun said. After thinking about it for a moment, she nodded happily and epted his offer. Then then. Hehe...then let''s go. Jae-kyun, along with Chae-yeon, ced his palm on the sign at the entrance of the stadium. And then a message popped up in front of his eyes. [The World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament Wizard ss Preliminary. Would you like to watch the match at No.292 Stadium?] [If epted, you will be moved to a randomly assigned seat.] [There are party members. Would you like to move together?] Move? huh. Jaekyun didn''t hesitate to ept Chaeyeon''s words and pressed the ept button. At the same time, the two were automatically transported into a huge coliseum-style arena. [Wow Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! Fantastic! Ice Witch! Kairel''s overwhelming victory!] The stadium was filled with thunderous cheers as if the match had just ended. Jaekyun could be seen in the cheering and enthusiasm of the hot crowd. Whoops. A woman in a pure white dress, smiling beautifully in a storm of flying ice des. Wow... Kyrell was ying here? She stands proudly in the middle of the stadium, receiving cheers from the crowd. Jaekyun asked Chaeyeon, who muttered with a surprised expression as if she knew who it was. huh? Anyone know? Hmm... Hes a very famous user in Europe. He''s probably one of the best rankers for a mage over there? It specializes in powerful ice magic and is very popr among wizards. okay....? Jae-gyun looked at her as she was ying the match once again with curious eyes, as if she was famous among wizards. Chaeyeon muttered with her eyes twinkling as if it was strange that she was facing a more unexpected person than she had imagined. Wow... I came in without thinking, but meeting a celebrity like this? came in really well It''s also Jaegyun. good job! Hehe..... What am I..... Jaekyun''s mouth caught on in his ears at Chaeyeon''s sincere praise. He wasn''t particrly interested in the wizard''s battle, but he thought the shy looking effect would be fun, so Jaekyun and Chaeyeon started looking at the arena with eyes full of anticipation. uh! Start right away! I see... Who is this opponent? Whoops. Kairel''s next victim appeared amidst everyone''s curiosity. However, people could not hide their embarrassment when they saw a female user who showed up. What is it? What about that shabby outfit? Arent thosepletely low-level equipment? More than that... What are the weapons in both hands? She was equipped with national school uniform items that would only be worn at level 30. People were puzzled by the sight of him holding a staff in one hand and a long stick in the other. A challenger who seems far from the typical wizard. The goblin introduced her for the first time to the crowd who tilted their heads. [Cairel, the ice witch who challenges 75 consecutive wins! The next opponent to challenge her is... Angelina!] Angelina...? who is this? Are you hearing this for the first time? Thats... Ive never heard of it. After a long period of seclusion that day, Angelina made a splendid appearance. As a rising new divinity thatpletely shatters the wizard''s prejudices. Chapter 246 Chapter 246 Circle 1 Archmage, Angelina (2) Angelina, a 20-year-old girl who set foot in Arcadia dreaming of bing a wizard. From the very beginning, she was able to get a hidden ss in a very idental opportunity. [Since you have received the blessing of that brilliant moonlight, the pure power of the moon will always linger in your magical power. You are the magician of the moonlight flowing gently in the natural silver light.] She changed her job to a hidden ss that can be acquired with extreme odds. But that was the beginning of misfortune. [Please present the magic book. That''s mine.] Ste, the witch of starlight who transferred to the hidden ss with her. She started her life as a fugitive to get away from her who was trying to steal her magic book, and went through a difficult time repeating poor and poor game y more than anyone else. Until I met one person by chance. [Oh, I don''t know. They say you have to save this guy.] [First of all, give me all the items you''re wearing.] [I''m your fairy godfather.] Unidentified user Dex whose identity can''t even be guessed. After meeting him, Angelina''s life in the game changedpletely. [Don''t just try to fight from a distance just because you''re a wizard.] [What''s wrong with the control? Continue until I like it.] [Discard the prejudice that a wizard doesn''t need stamina or strength.] Icarus'', a brutal hardcore action RPG game that marked a milestone in PC games in the past. Casis, who was called the second yer in the game and boasted overwhelming physical strength, began to work with her as her colleague and mentor, and Angelina began to y Arcadia as a hardcore hardcore yer in apletely different way than before. cooong. She holds an iron bar that looks heavy and solid in one hand and an old wooden staff in the other. Seeing that, Kairel looked at him with a pitiful look and asked. joy. What the hell is that? From what I can see, I can''t seem to get past the beginner''s level... What on earth were you thinking about participating in thispetition? Kairel dressed up with unique and rare items specialized in PvP. Unlike herself, who prepared a lot of effort for this event, she seemed to have participated in thispetition without any preparation. Ill finish it in one shot without wasting time. die. Whoops. As soon as the match begins, Kairel prepares the most powerful magic he can use. But in that fleeting moment, Angelina''s body began to move. rush. Paaah. Basic movement skills that warriors learn. Kirel was shocked by the unexpected appearance of Angelina running towards him while using it. Fast, fast...!'' In that short time of just a few seconds, Angelina moved dozens of meters and approached right in front of her nose. And Kyrell screamed almost instinctively as she saw her ferocious iron rod mmed right into his head. Frozen! Damn it. Kairel canceled the magic he had just been preparing and hurriedly activated the defense magic he had memorized in advance. Thanks to her quick and wise judgment like a proud mage ranker from Europe, she was able to prevent a cataclysm in which the earthenware pot was shattered in a single stroke by a tough iron bar wielded by Angelina. Kwaaang. Angelina''s iron rod crashes into the ice with a huge roar. The destructive power of a single wizard was unbelievably huge, so the people watching it were shocked. What is it? This crazy... is this a true story? Wow... how much damage was that? No, what is that faster than that? Are you a wizard? Her movements were too quick and quick to be called a wizard. I managed to block it, but I felt the destructive power so great that I couldn''t guarantee survival if I was hit properly, so all the spectators including Kairel couldn''t keep their mouths shut. [What what! you! What the hell is this...!] Kirel barely escaped a fatal wound by hiding in a block of solid ice. However, she couldn''t even speak properly when she saw Angelina threateningly brandishing a tough iron bar right in front of the ice barrier. Sorry. I was nning to finish it in one shot because I was casting high-ranking magic from the beginning with full of gaps. [What what?] What did you say earlier...? You seem to be a novice, but what were your thoughts on participating in a contest like this? As if feeling sorry for her, Angelina said to her. I took part in order to win the championship by beating all the guys whoughed at me for appearances like you. [What the hell is that...!] Rather than that... why does the defense magicst so long? Wouldn''t it be nice to disappear? Angelina menacingly taps the ice block surrounding her body with an iron bar. Seeing her standing there waiting for the shield to disappear, Kairel''s head began to spin rapidly. First of all... I have to block that movement machine and then open up the distance...'' Looking at the situation roughly, she seems to be a wizard and specialized in meleebat. Cairel, who grasped her traits in a moment, recalled the most necessary magic at this moment and waited for the timing for the defense magic to expire. 5 4 3 2 1..... Now!'' Kairel knows exactly the subtle timing. As soon as the ice wall blocking her and Angelina disappeared, she quickly cast the next spell without a chance to react. Frozen Earth! Paaaang. A frigid earth that freezes everything around it that spreads from Kyrell''s body in all directions. A white shockwave exploded, turning the arena''s floor into a block of ice, and the bitter cold began to blow towards Angelina. [The cold air of the frozen ground permeates.] [Has a status abnormality frozen.] [Movement speed is reduced by 60%.] [Insufficient magic resistance. Rank effect activates.] [Abnormal status binding is added.] Rank 8 skill Frozen Earth. Kairel shouted as she saw Angelina tied to thend of ice that binds enemies unless she possesses a certain level of magic resistance. Ho-ho-ho-ho! Do I look like I''m about to be taken by surprise? With a triumphant expression on her face as if she was happy that her trump card had been worked, she quickly widened the distance with Angelina as much as possible and drew her magic power to the maximum. Whoops. Looks like you''re more like a warrior than a wizard... Didn''t you get the wrong number? Judging from the fact that it even takes bondage, it seems that its magic resistance is at a pitiful level. Kirel mocked her while looking at her with pitiful eyes. Then she began to prepare the most powerful magic she could cast. die! Icicle st! Damn it. Hundreds of sparkling icicles appearing with her cry. Each one of them shone with a razor-sharp razor de, and flew all at once with the momentum to tear apart Angelina''s body. But at that moment, a fishy smile suddenly appeared on Angelina''s face, who had been standing expressionless. Fire bolt. Fire. A circle 1 magic fire bolt that appears with her short casting words. Looking at Angelina trying to counter her own 4th circle magic with the most basic yet lowest level magic that only novice wizards use, she made a funny face. There''s no excitement. Do you think you can do anything with magic like that?'' The magic of the 4th circle. Kariel sneered, confident in victory, as if asking what he would do with that pitiful spark rather than magic of the same rank. But... that wasn''t the end. Firebolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. ..... Gur r r r r r r r r r r r r . Her casting words poured out in rapid fire as if she were rapping. Every time she spoke, the embers of the mes that appeared were small and small, but the embers of the mes merged into one and soon turned into a huge fireball. What! Seeing that, Kariel shouted with round eyes. But at that moment, a huge explosion erupted as it collided with her magic. Aaaaaaang. Kariel was blown away by a storm of bright red mes and a shockwave that exploded with him. The heat of the mes was so powerful that even the spectators in the distance could feel it. All the spectators who saw it opened their mouths in bewildered faces. I just... what? This crazy... That''s... Fire Bolt...? The lowest and most basic fire magic, fire bolt. In fact, it was a magic with destructive power so weak that it was called a firecracker, so it was just a meaningless magic as an attack to be used as a check, but the magic Angelina had just used changed the course. what! What the hell is that! What crazy! Is that a fire bolt? I don''t think so? Its a dog scam! what''s the situation now? Isnt that the level of Fire Buster? Destructive power that can onlye from the 4th circle magic Fire Buster. When everyone is shouting with a shocked face while watching it. Kariel, who believed only in her own magic, was lying on the floor with an expression of shock. Keuuuuuuuuuuuu... What the hell is this...! Circle 1 magic fire bolt. Even though it is a 1-circle magic, Kariel''s face was full of confusion because it was impossible to use it continuously withoutpletely ignoring the cooldown. How many levels do you think it is... No, what is Fire Bolts skill rank, so it has such power... Rank 3? Roughly, from rank 5 or higher, the explosive power and attack power also increase. Angelina stood proudly right in front of Kariel, who was crawling on the floor, as if the binding effect of the frozen earth had ended. Kariel froze as she looked up at her as she answered with a smile as if she had heard her self-deprecating self-talk. 3 3 rank? You raised the Circle 1 magic, Fire Bolt... to Rank 3...? Arcadia''s skill rank system that is evaluated as atrocious. The skill system, which everyone acknowledged is taking the form of the worst and highest level of difficulty, was roughly like this. [Firebolt: Rank C] Hunt monsters of the same ss (0/3000) +20 Hunt higher level monsters (0/1000) +40 Hunt boss monsters (0/10) +40 A rank that rises only when you achieve 100 training points. Therefore, it was only possible to raise the rank by repeatedly using the skill and making every effort to meet the various difficult conditions for increasing the training value. And the skill nogada increased exponentially as the rank went up. [Firebolt: Rank 3] Hunt monsters of the same ss (0/10000000000) +20 Hunt higher level monsters (0/5000000000) +40 Hunt boss monsters (0/100000000) +40 ?????? (0/1) +100 A skill rank that requires an unimaginable level of training. That''s why even the executives of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who nned the skill system, dered that it was impossible to raise to 1st rank through training. [In fact, it is not rmended to increase the rank by filling the training points. I like to describe it as a wall''. My advice... don''t get too obsessed with skill training. Just be adventurous and try different things. If that happens, at some point we will be able to gain a chance and enlightenment and raise our skills to the 1st rank.] A skill system that should only rely on luck and the realm of enlightenment. That''s why, when Angelina said that Fire Bolt had reached Rank 3, Kariel couldn''t help but be astonished. Nonsense..... What kind of madman can do 1st circle magic that much... Angelina nodded her head as if she agreed with her words as she muttered absurdly. that''s right. I also don''t know how I uploaded it after uploading it. After doing really dirty crazy things like a crazy bitch, I climbed it, but I wondered if this was something humans made me to do. Kairel looked up at Angelina with a look of absurdity at Angelina''s self-deprecating self-talk. And at that moment, she was able to clearly see with her own two eyes the title shining brilliantly above Angelina''s head. [Circle 1 Archmage Angelina] This crazy..... A title filled with her aggro that makes her want to ask a lot. However, whether or not she knew Kariel''s heart, Angelina smiled brightly and whispered while striking the tough iron bar she was holding in one hand over her head. So... from now on, dont ignore the 1st circle again. Quaang. Kariel dyed gray in just one shot. Angelina, who neatly finished the magician''s game with a tough-looking iron bar, smiled at the audience watching her with a shocked face and muttered as if talking to herself. My 1st circle magic is amazing. Chapter 247 Chapter 247 Circle 1 Archmage, Angelina (3) A sorceress called the flower of firepower on the battlefield. Those who were treated as the most important strategic resource in war always had to cast their magic in the safest ce. [War? Actually it''s not that dangerous. Anyway, in a siege warfare, you just need to blow a few spells on the castle wall until you run out of mana, and in a siege warfare, you don''t put in anything unless it''s a really clear situation. There''s probably no risk of dying unless it''s just before annihtion?] A battle between wizards where all they do is always safely blow away magic and hide. That''s why many high-ranking wizards, including the Mage Tower, had a lot ofints about the monotonous wizards'' fighting style, and they struggled to improve it. [It is necessary to periodically conduct magic sparring between wizards. We must do our best to make up for the weaknesses of chronic wizards by creating and improvingbat magic more systematically and efficiently, and to increase the overall strength of wizards... ] white lead. But until now, in one-on-one battles and bloody fierce battlefields, wizards have been active, and there has been no way to nubilize them. That is until now. What the hell are you doing! What the hell is this destructive power...! Kyaaaaaagh! Kwaaang. Tucan. Angelina''s 49th challenger and 4th ranked Christie in North America. As soon as the match started, she was screaming and running away with all her might in the unstoppable hands of Angelina, who was aiming for her earthen pot. It runs away pretty well... Is it because of the item effect? Her ne shimmers as if the item effect had been activated. Watching Christy move away from her with incredible speed for a wizard, Angelina straightened the weapon in her hands with a proud look on her face. An iron bar in one hand. And a staff in the other hand. Angelina, wielding two solid blunt weapons (?), continues to smash the enemy''s earthenware pot, looking for an opportunity. The spectators watching Angelina''s game thought that 48 people had already been sacrificed in her swift and unstoppable hands. -Ah..... One person is going this time, Lord. -I''m here to watch the wizard match, right? I''m a little confused. -Rather than that... What the hell is his strength stat? It''s destructive power beyond that of a decent warrior, isn''t it? -Is this the power mage you''ve only heard about? Angelina does not use magic and fights only with her pure physicalbat abilities. At her fresh and unconventional appearance, people looked at her absurdly, but they were enthusiastic at the same time. [Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Hot pot!] [Circle 1! Circle 1!] [Kill! Kill! Kill!] People like watching a diator showdown in the Roman Colosseum. At the frantic shouts of support for Angelina, thumbs down and quick death, Christy bit her lip and pulled out a trick she had hidden. Come on, do something! Fly! 5 circle magic fly. As soon as she opened the fly, Christie flew over the stadium in an instant. Seeing her like that, people shouted in amazement. 5 5 circles? Wow... how did you learn that? I know it''s very rare... Even so, among the rare 5th circle magic books, the quantity itself is extremely small, fly magic. However, the demand for it boasted an explosive level unlike other magic. -Flies freely in the sky? I can''t stand this... - Conquering the sky is a human instinct. That''s it. - I was a wizard because of the fly. how do you learn Because of its rarity and poprity, it was a magic that boasted a huge price range, but there were definitely people who learned this magic even if it was forced because of the great advantage of being able to float in the air and be free from the enemy''s melee attack. And Christie was one of those people. Haa..... I didn''t know I''d be able to use this since the preliminaries... A trumpeted magic that I hid as much as possible and saved to use when I needed it most. It was a magic she never thought would be used in the preliminary round, so she muttered in an annoyed voice. And soon, he smiled with joy as he looked up at Angelina nkly looking up at him with a face as if he were looking at the roof of a dog chasing chickens. Ho-ho-ho. Didn''t you know the requirements? It looks like they used their brains to y tricks because it was a battle between wizards... That only works for low-level wizards, but doesn''t work for high-ranking wizards. Christy at level 187. Having reached the level of the 5th circle, which is called the Archmage, she smiled arrogantly and sarcastically, but Angelina simply held the staff in her other hand up to the sky without saying anything. Lightning bolt. gripping support. A bluish sphere of lightning radiated above her head. At Angelina''s words, the sphere began to grow to an enormous size. Lightning Bolt. Lightning Bolt. Lightning Bolt. Lightning Bolt. Lightning Bolt... Parts-Cuts-Cuts-Cuts-Cuts What is it! This is..... 1st circle lightning magic lightning bolt. This magic, which would end up paralyzing a simple wild beast, was used dozens...hundreds of times to create a giant ball of thunderbolt by ovepping it. Do you think you wont be able to catch it if you run away to the sky? Christy floating in the air with a stunned face. With a mocking smile at her, Angelina unleashed the gigantic thunderbolt she had created towards Christie. Lightning Bolt. Buster. An enormous thunderbolt spear that flew at the speed of light. The lightning bolt that engulfed Christie in a split second beyond her perception made a tremendous roar and emitted a tremendous light. Cuckoo kung. Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam. A tremendous power reminiscent of thunderbolts that fell from the sky. After that powerful storm of energy has passed. All that fell from the sky was a piece of cloth believed to be the hat Christy was wearing. [Christy-sama has lost.] [Angelina-sama''s victory!] [49 consecutive wins achieved!] [The next opponent is being matched...] Angelina, who instantly oxidized the 4th ce in the North American ranking to powder. A warm cheer erupted from the audience at her appearance. [Kiaaaaaaaang! I''m sick!] [Sister! sister! Please look here!] [Magic! Warrior! Angelina! Magic! Warrior! Angelina!] [I sent one today too! Lord!] The cheers for Angelina poured out explosively. And it wasn''t just in the audience. Wow..... boss, have you seen this? why? What is it for? Even today, the staff of iPlus are peacefully searching for promising streamers in Arpandia. They were staring at the monitor with an expression of wonder after checking a video that had skyrocketed in number of views. [Kuuk..... Now please stop.....] [Puuuuuuuuuuuuufuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu200uuuuuuuuuuuuu200b] [Why don''t you die like this? Did you wear an item that increases your stamina?] [Stop hitting me! What kind of magician is this...] [Perk perk.] The best martial artspetition in the world. There, CEO Jo Seo-wook asked, seeing the sight of someone swinging a tough and hideous iron bar over and over and beating opponents. What is this...? Is it a warriors match...? CEO Jo Seo-wook approached with curiosity about the strange reaction of the employees. He looked closely at the female user fighting in the video and muttered with his eyes wide open. Hmm... You move well, dont you? Exciting and fast..... I think you use your skills appropriately ording to the situation? Who is this? It''s a face I''ve never seen before... At first nce, the stylish and exhrating fighting style is what I really liked about CEO Seowook Cho. He tilted his head at the discovery of a super rookie who seemed to be full ofmercial potential even if only the battle videos were carefully selected, but he soon froze at the words of the staff. That... its a wizard match. what....? Wizard....? A battle between sorcerers who are boring in the midst of an enormous battle of notices. The effect of the magic, which was all about shooting magic as far away from each other as possible, was gorgeous, and in reality, most of the battles were like empty cans. That''s why CEO Cho Seo-wook muttered in disbelief to the fact that this exciting game, full of excitement and sense of hitting, was a game of magicians. Come to think of it... the one holding it in the other hand instead of that iron bar right now... is it a staff member? yes. That''s the old tree staff. I don''t know how durable it is, but it''s very hard. Angelina wields an old wooden staff with such tremendous strength that it would have broken a long time ago, beating the opponent. And with her final blow, the opposing mage copsed in a gray light. [Ah, Angelina''s victory! Chuck-kil-kil..... This is great. This time, he didn''t use any magic at all and won the victory purely with a melee attack!] The goblin looked bewildered. CEO Cho Seo-wook muttered something absurd at his words as he proceeded with the game with an expression that was indescribable whether he was crying orughing. What is this... what kind of concept is this? You''re a wizard, but you don''t use magic? Still, peoples reactions are no joke. Look at the chating up here. where....? What is this? 500,000 people...? Thousands... maybe tens of thousands of qualifiers around the world. It was very unusual that as many as 500,000 viewers gathered for one preliminary game, as there were so many that it was difficult to find out which stadium they were watching. There were 480,000 before.... It has increased by 20,000 right now? Where are the coordinates taken..... The number of viewers who are making a rapidly rising graph in real time. It was a situation that deserved attention just by looking at this, but the reaction of people watching the video was also explosive. - Ha ha ha ha ha ha What is that really? - Although he is a wizard, his power is too strong. -Is there anyone in Arcadia who can take all stats? - Why ha ha ha ha ha ha It''s fucking strong. -The future of wizards (horror version). -?? Was this a closebat ss match? Did I get it wrong...? -lol. Starting today, go all-in on strength. -no;; But even as a concept, they fight really well. Oh... are you really okay? Yes? The more you look, the more you like it. The fact that users who enjoy ying with this unique concept are still unknown means that most of them probably do not y Arfandia, so Seo-wook Cho muttered with his eyes shining. First of all, try to figure out as much information as you can about that user. All right. CEO Cho Seo-wook, who is the number one target for recruitment, envisions future ns in his head. He then muttered as if he was sorry. It wouldn''t be a joke to use magic in closebat like that... It''s a pity. The words she unknowingly spat out while thinking about the core concept of Angelina''s channel. An employee who heard that said sticking his head out over the monitor. Ah, that user magic is also used. I dont know why, but I only use 1 circle. Hey, is that still the 1st circle? It''s not on that level. Well... that''s right, isn''t it? CEO Jo Seo-wook tilted his head and asked at his unknown words talking with the employee who was arguing. What do you mean? Did you only use 1 circle? Ah... that''s... wait a minute... The employee started looking for something else, as if it would be quicker to show it soon after trying to exin. After seeing the video he showed, Seo-wook Cho muttered with his mouth wide open as if his jaw would fall off. This crazy..... [Dont ignore the 1st circle again.] [My 1st circle magic is amazing.] At thestment of the majestic Angelina in the video, CEO Jo Seo-wook made up his mind. It means that this user must be attracted to Iplus Co., Ltd. by any means. And the moment he is building such a burning enthusiasm. Screams were flowing from the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. What the hell is that! I got a call from North America. What the hell is that user... Why are there so many crazy bastards in the world! Aaaaaaaa! Fuck! Shivaaaaar! The first martial artspetition of crisis management and response teams that began in prayer for peace. However, contrary to their wishes, the tournament was getting dirty little by little. By a few madmen who threw the bnce in the gutter. Chapter 248 Chapter 248 Red Pill Blue Pill The first andrgest virtual reality theme park in history that contains all the essence of Mizuni. Fantastic Universe. After this ce first appeared, the influence and ripple effect it had on the world was beyond imagination. [Now we can see what a wise decision Mizuni made to cooperate with Arcadia Co., Ltd., scrapping the existing theme park construction n that cost hundreds of millions of dors. I feel ashamed of myself for harshly criticizing me for doing something reckless at the time.] Experts whoughed at Miznisa''s reckless and bold decisions in the past. However, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut like mutes who had eaten honey at the infinite potential of the Fantastic Universe. [The greatest strength of the Fantastic Universe is that everyone has a virtual character that is free from any injury or death. Unlike other theme parks of Mizuni in reality where children are the main consumers, the Fantastic Universe in virtual reality thoroughly targets adults including young people . Theme parks in reality full of rides. However, in the Fantastic Universe, where there is no need to worry and worry about such safety, it is full of experiences that are fatal but overflow with irresistible charm. -10 km flying squirrel fly dive. - Tsunami surfing. - Iceberg Climbing. - Deep sea treasure exploration. - Zombie Survival. -Survive the earthquake. . . . An experience in virtual reality that has been implemented so that you can directly experience all kinds of dangerous things that you would have only imagined. Due to Arcadia''s policy that children under the age of 13 cannot use the virtual reality service, they had no choice but to appeal to adults over teenagers. -Wow..... The real suit flight was this difficult..... How many times did you do it? -The person who does this in real life is recognized as a real man test. Are you afraid of dogs? - Surfing on 100m waves...? I can''t stand this..... -Tsunami surfing is epted by our strongest surfing club, Haeundae Donatsu''. - Ha ha ha ha ha ha. What is Zombie Survival? 14 minutes survival; -That''s absolutely terrifying. The zombies are sprinting and chasing them. -Isn''t this a scene from ''20 Weeks Later''? Mizuni directed a scene in a movie they made and allowed them to experience that moment directly as the main character. These things served as an opportunity to raise people''s interest not only in Arcadia but also in the technology of virtual reality. [I think we can re-evaluate the potential of virtual reality that we have known so far. Not just from the point of view of a game'', but as a solution to many problems scattered across the. See Mizuni''s Fantastic Universe. How efficient and eco-friendly is itpared to other theme parks operating around the world?] Electricity to operate the rides and light up. The garbage produced by countless tourists eating and drinking. An ecosystem that will be swept away to make a theme park. Mizuni''s Fantastic Universe boasts extreme efficiency that does not require anything. Looking at it, those called experts were convinced. [From now on, those who have lived off the tourism industry will have to do their best toe up with a new way to survive. In the future, people will have no reason to spend money and time to find other ces.] In the near future, the world''s tourism industry will copse rapidly and catastrophically to a level that can''t be helped. Because of the single domino piece that Miznissa knocked over. * * * A fantastic universe full ofughter for everyone. All those who spend time there were making happy memories with friends or lovers. While enjoying a risky adventure or enjoying a cozy and sweet outing. However, there was a person with a dying expression in an unbearable dirty feeling alone in such a fantasy world. Lee Chan-hee, a 24-year-old returning student, aka Choco Pie Joa. He muttered with a bitter expression of envy as he looked at the people around him having fun. Ha..... X haircut... He didnt do that before, but recently, all sorts of curse words have stuck to his mouth like a habit. People who walked down the street nced at him with strange eyes at his thick curse words that were likementation, but soon they stopped paying attention and walked the way they were going. I dont know what kind of bastard he is, but... I really wont let him go no matter what he does... As soon as he esses the game, Choco Piejoa moves over to the Fantastic Universe. Unlike those who came over to see the Fantastic Universe to enjoy the event, he had only one purpose foring here. [Less than a Elementalist job.] [Why pick one? If you twist it, you can open it. I''ll deal with them all, soe to where I am.] [I''ll smash them all, whether youe alone or with hundreds of people.] [My name is Choco Paijoa. Don''t forget.] An impersonator with the exact same ID and appearance as him. It was really unfair to the extent that I was crazy and jumped up and down to watch the figure of the guy who became the center of the topic in the world in the game, ying all kinds of games, making himself so that even his parents could not tell them apart. I must.... I must prove my injustice by taking a video in front of that bastard... Choco Piejoa tries to prove her innocence through video evidence that no one can refute. But the process was arduous. uh....? what? why? No... the person I just passed by... I think I saw it somewhere... Hmm? who....? The two users he just passed by. Choco Pie shuddered inwardly as he tilted his head and turned around to stare at him. Damn it... again...?'' A pattern that has been experienced repeatedly and frequently in the game. Usually, if he didn''t run away in this situation, he would most likely be attacked and killed as a group by angry users who noticed his identity, so he started to run away in a hurry. Heo-euk... heo-euk... How far did it run? A park far away from the main street where he was. Central Park in the center of New York was a gigantic green park that wasughably huge, so although several couples appeared everywhere, it was a rtively quiet and peaceful ce. Haa... Fuck you, are you a fugitive here too? No matter where you go, you have to be terrified that someone will notice your identity. He couldn''t shake the feeling as if someone was watching him in the game, and his mind was slowly bing exhausted. It s all because of that damn impersonator... When you are grinding your teeth and feeling the anger rising from the depths of your heart. Choco Paijoa was startled by the sudden sound of a voice beside her. That is not true. It seemed that the country would also feel unfair. What! The one sitting next to him with a yful smile. Choco Paijoa,pletely unaware of the fact that someone hade right up to her, looked at his face and immediately jumped up in fright. You you you...? hi? I guess this is the first time we''ve met and said hello like this? Opponent grinning andughing. Choco Paijoa stood with her mouth wide open, looking at the nickname shining above his head, as if she had seen a ghost. Nice to meet you, Choco Piezo. I am a Choco Piezoa. It is while watching a doppelganger who looks exactly like himself, as if looking in a mirror, introduces himself to him. * * * First meeting with the real Choco Piezoa. It wasn''t as smooth as Jaeyoung imagined. Hey, you fucking bastard! Choco Pie Joa, who was standing there nkly, suddenly shouted out the park and took out a greatsword. Jaeyoungughed and called out at the attack full of will to split him in half at once. Sylph. Whoops. Caang. A pitiful attack by a level 80 warrior who has not been trained properly. Of course, it would not have been weak enough to be blocked by low-level spirits, but Jae-yeong''s spirit skills were far from normal, so his attacks could not pierce the wind curtain. Profit! die! die! die! ? ?? ??? ???! die! Dying! Nevertheless, Choco Piejoa continues to wield her sword and tries to somehow harm Jae-young. Seeing him like that, Tan and El looked at him with strange eyes and said. Master, why are you like this? Are you crazy? Hmm... It''s despair and anger that makes you feel mad. What the hell happened? Jae-young smiled silently at their question and epted Choco Pie Joa''s anger. After a long time, when he, exhausted and exhausted,y down, Jaeyoung finally sat down and said. Why are you so anxious to die? Didn''t you hear the warning that if the PK decision is made here, you will be split in half by the goblin? Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s 1st event, Jukchang Daejeon, the truth about the goblins who became famous. How to deal with users. half leather. In order not to suffer from that, Jaeyoung was considerate, but Choco Piejoay down on the floor and looked at her with eyes filled with hatred and resentment and said. Do you think Ill be obsessed with... dying? As if there was nothing to lose and nothing to regret, the look on the face of a vagabond living a life of turmoil. At Choco Piejoa''s reaction, Jaeyoung said as if she was sad. I am ashamed to say that. I was just trying to help you. what....? Help me? help me? Choco Piejoa wakes up from her seat with eyes full of life as if she touched the wrath. He recalled the unfair moments of the past that passed by like a kaleidoscope, and vomited out the resentment that was deep in his heart. Do you know how much I suffered because of you? I didn''t do anything, but people say something to me! Even if it''s not, no one believes it! How much I am because of you... Choco Pie Joea, who unknowingly tears well. I ate as much as I could, and I didn''t want to cry because of the game, but Choco Pie Joa couldn''t bear to speak when her emotions were overtaken. I apologize for that part. Choco Piezoa with a trembling face as if speechless and a look of resentment. Jaeyoung apologized sincerely to him who had unintentionally suffered all sorts of hardships because of him. To be honest, I didnt really think about how you would be harmed by what I did and how unfair the situation would be. In fact, if it werent for the posts you posted on Arpendia, theres a high chance I wouldnt have known about it... but since I already found out, I couldnt just stay still. What is that... So to give you a chance to choose. what....? First, to leave after receiving appropriate marypensation for the amount of damage I caused to you. With my promise never to impersonate you again. He who obediently promises to prevent recurrence with marypensation. Choco Piejoa was speechless for a moment at his iprehensible move, but soon asked with curiosity rising in his heart. second is? Ah...the second...? That''s... He smiles when asked for the second option. However, at that moment, Choco Paijoa could instinctively sense that something had changed. He has an evil smile and his eyes are shining like he is having fun. He had the exact same figure and face as his own, but he gave off apletely different atmosphere. Abandoning your pitiful and pitiful 82nd level warrior image, you are acting the Choco Paijoa'' I created. The strongest and best budding gourd, Choco Paijoa'', who despises the weak in front of the world and reigns as the noblest strongman more than anyone else. What the hell is that... He only talks about things he cant understand at all. But he spoke like Morpheus, forcing us to choose between the blue pill and the red pill. Will you be a rich man and leave this Arcadia, or will you be a splendid protagonist who will create your own story in this ce... A fake Choco Piezoa smirking . whispered to Whatever it is, it''s your choice. Chapter 249 Chapter 249 Entrance Cut It is said that everyone faces three chances in life. Opportunity thates so trivially at an unexpected moment. Most of them regret it after missing the opportunity and bite their bitter taste, but it wasn''t for Chani. That... what the hell are you talking about? Is that really possible? A mysterious user who looks exactly like his own image, like a mirror. Choco Piejoa questioned with a questioning look at her own disparate appearance with a smile so smirk and her eyes shining as if this situation was amusing. of course. In fact, even if you choose marypensation, it is not given in cash, so you will have to cash it out on your own, but I will take care of it enough so that you will not be disappointed about the hardships you have suffered because of me for almost a year. Astronomical gold and items piled up in the red dragon Kervenian''s rare. They are not simply rare items, but rare items that possess great power and magical power. Jaeyoung said with a confident voice, as they were objects full of enormous influence, so much chaos and upheaval could be expected even if only a portion was released on the continent. In return, I don''t know if it''s possible for you to enjoy Arcadia again. No matter how many times you delete a character and create a new one, there will always be people who remember your face. Well... but I don''t know if I''ll be able to enjoy the game if I live quietly. Arcadia must be a veryrge ce. The appearance of a character who follows his/her appearance, except for the disabled or special cases. Therefore, it was impossible topletelyunder one''s identity in Arcadia. Because no one knew when and where someone would discover the identity of his new character. no. Not that. However, Choco Piejoa shook her head at Jaeyoung''s words. As if that wasn''t your question. and asked I mean, can the Choco Paijoa you are impersonating really be me? Fake Choco Piezoa. To him, a real Choco Pie lover, it would be okay to tear him to death, but as time passed, Chani felt an unknown jealousy and envy towards the fake impersonator. [Your slime is so cool! I want to be like Choco Paijoa.] [Choco Paijoa, can you add me as a friend?] [Choco Paijoa! Please sign me!] [I''m watching Destroyer''s channel! Choco Piejoa!] [Choco Piejoa? I know Dex-nim and I as real friends.... If you''ll excuse me, what happens to your friend''s panties brand...] It''s a subject of controversy and interest, but at the same time, it has hundreds of millions of fans and followers. that. Of course, there were too many hostiles to ignore, but I was honestly envious of Chani, who created such an enormous influence by impersonating himself. of course. And to Chan-hee''s question, Jae-young answered firmly. ...? Choco Pie Joea silently stares at Jaeyoung''s answer with a puzzled look. Jaeyoung smiled at him and said. Why did I deliberately go all the way to this game in your image? To be honest, I wasn''t even interested in this event in the first ce. Until you saw the maddening posts that were stering Arpendia. Choco Piezoa, who was vomiting blood andining of injustice. Jae-young''s remedy that welled up from the depths of his heart, even the remorse that was not in the text, which was not in the text. It was to transform him into the Choco Piezoa that Jaeyoung had impersonated. To be honest, I cant control slimes. They only listen to me. The slimes thatpletely engulfed the territory of the vige of beginners in the distant past and the colony of orcs. At Jaeyoung''s firm words that they couldn''t do anything about them, Choco Piejoa crumpled her face and said, as if it were absurd. No, I wasnt expecting that in the first ce, was it? Instead... it will be possible to the extent that was shown in this Worlds Greatest Martial Arts Competition. what....? Oh, I dont know for sure. But I wonder if it will work... Choco Piejoa, who appeared at the World''s Best Martial Arts Competition. The image he showed was quite a shock to all users, including Chani. - No, isn''t this a real scam? -Really;; What is that Choco Pie bastard that summons so many spirits? -How many Spirit Affinity is that possible? No, more than that, he''s that bastard warrior. -lol. It must have turned into an Elementalist. More than that, how did you get through the elven vige with that look? -Do you want a hidden ss? No, even if it''s a hidden ss, this is too boring... -Anyway, I''m lucky. Although he was at a lower level, he dealt with hundreds of spirits of all attributes. Chani made the choice without hesitation when he was told that he could make him that way, as he showed overwhelming strength that waspletely different from that of other spirits. I will. ok? Ill make that choco pie for you. Arcadia, where everything is hidden in infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. There was one fact that Chani realized through hard and tough y for a year after he first set foot in this world. I still dont know what you really are... and why and how you impersonated me... but I know one thing for sure. Even though you''re an idiot-like impersonator... there''s no one who stirs up Arfandia and its users like you and draws attention by creating all sorts of topics. The daily life of a destroyer who once noisily shook Arpendia and Arcadia, which he opened while operating as an impersonator. Even though he had been quiet until recently without any special activities, he was aware of it because he was the one who received attention and aggro from many people. You are more special than anyone else. I don''t know if it''s a hidden ss, but I''m sure you found something hidden in this game, and you''re preparing something using it. Arcadia ispletely different from other games. As if it was no joke to say that the operator had nothing to do, the narrative of the main scenario, which was created and disappeared by users, was moved and shaken by Jaeyoung and a small number of rankers on each continent. Even if I act as a fake identity, not my real self, even if I am used as your chess piece in a huge n I dont know about... Even after taking all that, Chani wanted to. I want to be the main character who moves this continent in a splendid way. Rather than being a wretched and unsightly warrior, he wants to be a rare viin who receives everyone''s curse and praise. Hmm..... What is the owner? You like it more than you think? ...Where the hell are you looking? Choco Piejoa, who confided in her heart more honestly and inly than ever before. Hearing his words, Tan began examining his face here and there with her eyes shining, as if she was strangely interested. The desire for that pure strength. That poison-filled will to not choose any means and methods. Big..... If it wasn''t for adventurers, he''d juste over if we ran the business right away... Choco Pie Joea in a vulnerable state, likely to fall for the devil''s tricks. As if regretting not being able to pawn his soul, Tan murmured as he licked his lips. First of all... then, can I understand that you chose the second option? If that is possible. Choco Piezoa, who doesn''t even know elves at all, let alone spirit magic. Having shared a sticky and sweaty camaraderie with the dwarves, he knew himself well, so he didn''t even go to the elves'' vige. By the way... let alone spirit magic, all my stats and skills are fostered in warrior settings, so what are you going to do? Elementalists who should basically develop their characters in the same way as the wizard ss to grow their abilities. However, it was actually close to impossible for Choco Paizoa, who had thoroughly walked the path of a warrior up to level 82, to switch to apletely new path. However, at his words, Jaeyoung shook his head as if it was nothing. Ah... dont worry about that. He''ll probably take care of it on his own. What the hell is that...? Since you say youre a warrior, you must have good basic physical strength and defense, right? An evil smile that strangely raises anxiety. It was even more ufortable because he was smiling with his own image, but the fresh-looking green wooden stick in his hand was even more ufortable. What the hell are you doing...? Choco Piejoa, who was backing away with trembling eyes. Jaeyoung''s mischievous voice resounded between the clubs that were being hit over his head without hesitation. I dont know how it will turn out, but lets try it. fast. With such a dull sound, Chani felt her consciousness blur. With an unknown strange notification sound. [You have been hit by a branch of the test.] [You have been stunned.] [The special effect of the item is activated.] [The Trial of the World Tree'' has been entered.] * * * Arcadia is the mother and continent of all life. The World Tree, the unifier of Having used up most of her recovered strength in using the powers, she couldn''t help but feel embarrassed by the sudden arrival of the spirit in her consciousness. [what....? This guy is...?] The consciousness world of the World Tree. The soul of a human who came in without being invited there. But it wasn''t long before she realized why. [Couldn''t it be.... I didn''t send this as a talent to rece my will...?] The World Tree, born with the power of omniscience, knows everything just by looking at it and questioning it. She couldn''te to her senses and looked at him scattered in her consciousness with a puzzled look on her face. [A cowardly fugitive] [A sleazy swordsman] [A clumsy wanderer] [Almost killed by an orc] [A serious woodcutter] . . . His rank is so insignificant. She looked down at Choco Piezoa lying in her conscious world with cold eyes, as it was a shameful level topare with Jaeyoung, the only human she had ever met. [It''s pitiful...] The World Tree, muttering to himself with a frown, decided to dispose of him without even thinking about it. [Failed the World Tree test.] [Returns to its original position after 5 seconds.] Choco Piezoa that filters the World Tree. That was where he was now in Arcadia, and it was a harsh and cold reality. * * * [Abnormal status stunned.] Huh! What are we going to do with this! Chan-hee''s condition is resolved and her vision returns. He shouted in anger at the impersonator who looked like him, staring at him with curious eyes in front of his eyes. However, he didn''t pay attention to his own shouting and muttered, tilting his head as if he was puzzled. It''s strange... Didn''t you change your job? As if there was no way this could happen, he looked around at the rugged and bulky wooden club. And soon, like a madman, he started talking to himself with someone. what....? Oh, you feel like you''ve been shut out? Well... I''d be a bit embarrassed if I asked you to designate a guy like this as an apostle. Chani didn''t know what he meant, but he roughly noticed that he was talking about himself. Soon after, he looked at the impersonator with wary eyes, but the fake Choco Paijoa was approaching him with a sinister smile and knocking on the threatening wooden club. Donte any closer! Chan-hee looked around to try to resist somehow. But he soon realized. That the ce where he is is in the middle of the most uninhabited and enormous natural park in this fantastic universe. There''s no tree that can''t be felled by taking 10 strikes... He grinned and hit the tough stick again. Lets see how long and until when the entrance is cut. Talking iprehensible bullshit. Chapter 250 Chapter 250 Changing Jobs is Hard! Transcendent beings that exist in Arcadia. Those who came into existence by being created for that purpose by the Creator were endowed with the necessary enormous power and brilliant divinity, but at the same time were bound by powerful restraints. mission. The reason for their existence and the absolute rules that must be followed. Even though they had enormous power in this mission, the mighty gods who could not freely carry out it exerted their influence on this Arcadia by twisting the restrictions in various ways. [Find out and punish all those who are sneaking in the shadows with evil ns.] [A great disaster ising. Take everyone and evade right now.] [Kill! Stain this continent with blood! Until fear and despair cover this world!] Oracles and prophecies. Although they used to agitate humans by conveying their will in an ambiguous and abstract way, very sophisticated and effective methods became popr by the heavens. A proxy is the first idea we created in Heaven. It gives divinity to lower life forms, including humans, and makes them do what we want instead. Of course, the enormous probability is exhausted in the beginning... but it is much more effective than moving everything one by one. L speaks with a proud face. Jaeyoung asked with an absurd face while listening to her story during the intermission to send Choco Piejoa to the world tree''s image world. So... the concept of that apostle was created... it was born out of an idea of how to preserve that probability? Yes. You can''t descend directly whenever something happens, can you? In case of minor disputes or problems, you can just let it take care of it, and it couldn''t be more convenient than this. Maybe thats why they follow everyone here and there? The pope and saint of Saint Empire. And the direct bodyguards to assist them. The so-called Apostles, the representatives of God, were actually nothing more than a disposal team or messengers made for convenience. What... was it like that? Beings outside the standard who are praised and praised everywhere. They wielded tremendous power in unapproachable sanctity and nobility and ruled a huge empire, but from El and Tan''s point of view, they were just a tool made in the process of pursuing efficiency and hassle. sure. Even those bastard bats know that good things are ours, but shamelessly follow them, right? Anyway, his face is filthy thick... L muttered while clicking his tongue as if he was pitiful. At her words, Tan made an expression as if he had nothing to say, but soon shouted in a fit of rage. what! what! whatever! No, no... if youre going to do it, you have to use it properly. You guys are always porridge because you dont make the initial investment rightly because its a waste of probability all the time. L speaks as if giving a lesson. At her words, Tan shuddered and argued. This... crazy bitch! If all those damn brats do, they''ll kill all the agents we''ve worked so hard to create! Who''s the reason we can''t do that! It was. As with any investment, the harsh bottom of Arcadia where early preemption is the most important. There, the faithful tools of El, who had already firmly nted their roots and built up a huge power, savagely trampled down the sprouts nted by Tan even before they could grow. [You evil ck magician will be burned at the stake.] [Repent bitterly in the water forever, you immoral man who sold your soul to the devil.] [Discipline! Punishment!] Even if the initial investment is hot, the cruel saint empire provides relevant information through the saint and terribly relentlessly pursues it, destroying the precious tool of my bullet. As a result, the power of Tan on the continent of Arcadia had no choice but to exist at the level of surviving in the shadows. Until now. But... thanks to the owner, it''s improved a lot. Eh? me....? At Tans words, Jaeyoung asked back with an absurd face. Did you forget? The massacre caused by the ownerst time? A witch hunt, in which a small snowball identally rolled by Jaeyoung rolls over and over and turns into a huge snowball that stains the entire continent with a sea of blood. And that situation eventually created a force. A group of all those who rallied to protect their lives and interests against the hatred and persecution of dark professions close to madness. The first dark kingdom, the Maroon Kingdom. There, the bastard who ims to be the king now. When I first saw him, I didn''t like him because he was corrupt and weak, but he was still quite capable? His fighting ability is honestly pitiful, but he''s pretty good at selling among humans. That kingdom is also being made to run. The ck me Dragon of Darkness, who suddenly became the key protagonist of the huge scenario and even became the king who rules the country. It may not have been what he wanted, but the Argamer''s essence was deeply embedded in Tan''s heart, faithfully fulfilling the role of a tool. The probability that was wasted at that time makes me shed bloody tears even thinking about it now... but it''s definitely more than that. Now I understand why the owner said the other day that it was a profitable direction for me. Did I...? Tan muttered with admiration as he talked about a story he couldn''t even remember. He looked at me with admiration and started talking again and again. However, Jaeyoung couldn''t help but listen to his words with one ear because of Choco Piejoa who jumped up at that time. uh. Are you here? 59th attempt already. However, seeing his unchanged appearance, Jaeyoung so naturally approached him with the green club. Stop that! Why do you keep hitting your head with it! However, Choco Piejoa was shouting with an expression that did not know anything, as if she had been repeatedly cut at the entrance despite her many attempts. More than that... what the hell is that! Why does the screen keep turning ck when I get hit with it! Choco Paijoa seems to be experiencing something different from the normal stun effect. Jaeyoung didn''t seem to care about what he said, as if he didn''t know what he was going through. That''s it... is this a job change test? what....? Choco Piezoa freezes at those words. Jaeyoung exined to him with a serious face. If you get hit in the head with this and take a test in the image world and pass it, you will be transferred to the hidden ss. But they didn''t let me through, so I''m repeating it until I let it pass. Do you understand now? What the hell is that...! Choco Piezoa shouts in disbelief. However, Jaeyoung waved his stick as if it was annoying and asked. Otherwise, why bother wasting my time with you here? ..... Choco Pie Joea keeps her mouth shut with an expression that doesnt seem right. However, unlike before, seeing him not showing any resistance, Jaeyoung smiled and struck the huge club at the top of his head as before. fast. evil! Choco Piejoa with its head bent down with a huge and heavy hitting sound. Jaeyoung said as he grabbed his head and red at him with venomous eyes. Oops, mistake. I didn''t pass out. ..... Really. Is this 85% and not 100%? So yes. ..... It''s actually surprising that everything exploded in one shot. I will go again. Then, Jae-young ms the stick at his head with all his might. Looking at him like that, Choco Paijoa felt as if something she had been holding on to was cut off and screamed involuntarily. Some crazy guy made this the former way! At that moment, in the blurred vision, Choco Piejoa thought with sincerity. I want to see the face of the developer who made this shit at all costs, at least once before I die. * * * God''s representative. In other words, an apostle. Beings that are created by receiving power from beings who have been endowed with transcendental power and authority along with their respective missions by the Creator. Among them, the being that represented the will of the World Tree was more powerful than any other agent. [The World Tree itself is the only deity that exists in Arcadia. The mission itself is so firm and solid. If it were even a little more flexible than it is now, it would have been worth watching?] The owner of power so strong that he could erase a continent from the map with a single root attack. Moreover, the fact that its existence itself was in Arcadia was in line with the meaning that it could grant its agent as much power as it wanted without any limitations. [Haa..... Damn it...] But she let out a deep sigh as she saw the human lying in front of her. [Even if you reject it, you will continue to send it like this..... It''s ridiculous.] A clumsy person I didn''t like from the first time I saw it. She thought she had made her refusal clear by turning him away a few times. However, even after knowing that he clearly refused, Jae-young continues to send him as his sessor. The world tree was taken aback by his actions, but when the number started to exceed dozens of times, she was able to realize Jaeyoung''s intentions. Make me the sessor.'' If you don''t do it, I''ll keep sending it until you do.'' A human who was unusual from the first time I saw it. So, it was a branch of the test that he passed on thinking that there would be many talented people around him, but he was a world tree that he could not even imagine that he would force a single sessor like this, so she had the illusion that he heard his voice that seemed to make fun of her at the moment. frowned heavily. What if you don''t? Evebeb.'' The one who doesn''t give you a choice. That''s why the world tree had no choice but to get nervous every time the number increased little by little. [I think there are about 40 left now...?] The World Tree, which has spent most of its energy on integrating the continents this time. Therefore, choosing a substitute to rece her will was more important and urgent than ever, so her worries inevitably deepened. [If the branch of the test is broken, I have to make it again... I don''t have the time to do that...] It''s also a long way from finding a talent she likes. So, the World Tree made a slightly different choice this time. [First of all.... Shall we talk a bit...?] After 60 tries, the world tree finally stirred curiosity. She gently patted his body with her foot, waking him up. [Uuuuuu.....] Then, the human frowned and opened his eyes. The World Tree spoke to him for the first time. [Did you wake up?] And at that moment, Choco Paijoa was able to see the message floating in front of her eyes for the first time. [The trial of the World Tree has begun.] [The hidden advancement quest Choice of the World Tree'' has been created.] [The World Tree''s affinity for the yer is ''10''.] What is this? World tree...?'' An existence I could never have imagined. Choco Paijoa, who was sitting in a daze with a shocked face, soon organized the current situation in her head, which was speeding up to a superhuman level. Come to think of it, wasn''t it the impersonator who saved the world tree? I don''t know exactly what''s going on... but if there was some kind of rtionship with the world tree because of that...'' Saving the World Tree'', one of the videos that made Choco Paijoa famous. Recalling the video that drew a lot of attention by revealing the world tree for the first time without any exnation of the context, he busily pounded the calctor, and soon came up with a result. oh my god!'' It''s not a general hidden ss, it''s a hidden ss rted to the world tree. As soon as she thought about it, Choco Piejoa finally began to understand the majesty of the impersonator. okay! The World Tree is involved, so I should be able to handle the spirits to that extent.'' The impersonator probably got a hidden job rted to spirits. At the fact that a simr path was being proposed, Choco Paijoa soon knelt down and shouted at the world tree staring at her with a determined face! [hello! It''s called Choco Pie Joe! Dear World Tree!] The first meeting was Insaseong. Choco Pie Joa, who demonstrated the essence of social life that he honed in the military. I started introducing myself in a booming voice and confidently looked at the judge, World Tree, but she muttered as if she was genuinely pitiful. [What the heck..... He was a strange guy after all...] And at that moment, a message appeared in front of his eyes. [Failed the World Tree test.] [Returns to its original position after 5 seconds.] A message indicating that the test failed. But all she did was say hello, so Choco Paijoa shouted with a puzzled face. [yes....? Oh no! World Tree! Wait... Wait a minute!] He wanted to ask something out of resentment. But 5 seconds wasn''t as long as he thought. [No, what the hell did I do to fail...] That''s how Choco Piejoa failed again. Just because I don''t like the greeting. Chapter 251 Chapter 251 Probability Mining Machine Choco Pie Joea ruined his image from the first meeting with the World Tree. And even after that, he continued to put on a splendid asshole show that was hard to see with both eyes open in order to continue to like her. [No matter how I look, I am an environmentalist who loves nature!] [Trees! tree is good Just by looking at the tree, hot love (?) boils in my heart!] [If you ask me to do anything, I will dedicate my whole body and work hard!] [Shall I nt seedlings...?] Despite countless failures, I will not give in. He continues to put his face into the world of his own image. The World Tree appeared again and asked in an annoyed voice as Choco Piejoa looked at him. [Ha..... is it you again?] [.....] The World Tree gets annoyed as soon as he sees him. In response to her reaction, Choco Paijoa knelt down and kept her mouth shut. Looking at him looking so shabby, the world tree only increased her irritation at the insignificant human being, but her head started to runplicatedly. I never thought they would overuse the branches of the test like this... It''s really annoying.'' If he was in front of her, Jae-young did such a nasty thing that he would really want to hit her properly. The branches of the test were not things to be abused in this way. [Branch of Trials - Legend] A branch of the World Tree that only exists in legends. It''s sturdy and light, so it''s the perfect size to wield. It looks like it could be used as a stick. -Attack power: 100~110 -Durability: 1000/1000 (cannot be repaired) -85% increase in stun effect application rate when hitting a vital point. - Automatically enter Trial of the World Tree'' when stun is applied. Branch of Trial, a legendary item that grants exactly 100 candidates a chance to test. Visiting her image world through this branch was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the strongest warriors among elves, and they took the mere fact of passing the test as a great honor. Certainly, a divine instrument imbued with the power and authority of the World Tree. If the elves saw it, beating it to such a simple ignorant person was an enormous act, and from the world tree''s point of view, it was an absurd situation that could not be imagined. If I refuse this time, I''ll lose the power of the test... and I''ll waste several years just making the next branch.'' However, even those few years were so urgent that they couldn''t wait in the current situation of the World Tree. It''s nothing else, the lords of the celestial world and the demon realm have descended on this continent and are active, and even the continent has merged into one again...'' The archangel and Great King. The world tree couldn''t help but feel nervous at the fact that the two of them, who are the enemies of the crippled world and couldn''t feed each other, were messing around together. [It can''t be helped...] Like it or not, the World Tree needs a proxy to embody its will on thisnd and drive all the damn chickens and bats out of sight. Knowing the reality that she is not in a position to cover a cold meal with a hot meal, she muttered disapprovingly as she looked at the person kneeling in front of her with her amber eyes shining. [You there.] [Yeah...? ah! Yes!] [Can you really do well if you be a substitute for my will?] The world treepletely throws away the usual lofty appearance and asks nervously with the appearance of an annoyed adolescent girl. In response to her reaction, Choco Piejoa rolled her eyes and replied. [That... I''ll try my best!] [Really? I don''t need someone who will work hard, but someone who will do well?] [...?] Choco Pie Joa, who feels like being pressured by a tough interviewer in an interview. However, he soon replied with a determined face. [I''m good at doing anything!] [Really? At such a corrupt level?] The world tree ridiculed with a face full of ridicule. Of course, among those who could be found by the World Tree in the elven vige, there were literally more talented people than him. [I wanted someone who was superior and stronger than the elves. That''s why I entrusted the branch of the test to that damn bastard. No matter how much I need a surrogate, if you''re an insignificant human being like you, it''s a little bit like that. That''s why World Tree assaulted the fact that was close to viciousnguage, but Choco Paijoa spoke with a serious face at her words. [I know that I''m at a pitiful and insignificant level right now.] [...] At that, the World Tree listened to him for the first time. However, Choco Paijoa seemed to have not noticed the change in her and kept talking. [That''s why I suffered greatly. There are dozens of times when people are misunderstood and unjustly lynched and killed because of things that originated from an impersonator, not me. No matter how much I talked, no one listened, and there were also people whoughed and ridiculed me for being weaker than I thought.] Those who just started fighting because they didn''t like the poprity of Choco Pie Joa. It was unfair to be PKed by them, but their ridicule mixed with ridicule made him even more miserable. [what? Choco Pie wasn''t just X food, right?] [So...? Really, you can''t just watch the video and believe it ? [I want to be stronger. So that those who have never heard of my story and exnation do not dare to ignore my words so that they do not have to suffer any more unfair deaths. And so that no one on this continent dares to ignore or scorn me.] If he had been a little stronger, he wouldn''t have been treated unfairly like this. That''s why World Tree looked at him with a different expression for the first time in the candid appearance of Choco Piejoa, who was more obsessed with bing stronger than anyone else. [I like that one.....] The world tree smiles. And she soon put on an expression as if she was thinking about something, and then said with a deep smile. [I''m an adventurer, so I don''t think you need to think about or worry about dying..... Where... It''s more corrupt than I thought. Is it because you grabbed the sword? If it was magic, it would have been easier than this...] The world tree held out its arms, looked around, and spat out reviews as if it were buying livestock. Choco Piejoa was taken aback by her actions, but was soon delighted with the answer of the World Tree. [It''s full of things I don''t like, but... I like it. Give me a chance.] [Really?] [Don''t get me wrong. It''s not because you''re great, it''s because I don''t have a choice either.] World Tree looked serious at Choco Piejoa''s forehead while expressing anger at Dex for giving 100 chances to such an idiot and forcing him to choose one-sidedly. I put my palm on Ugh. [He who follows my mission as the mother of all life and the protector of this continent, do you ept my will and mission and pledge to dedicate everything to defend it?] The blue of mighty energy radiating from her body light. In the vitality pulsating within it, Choco Paijoa was able to confirm the message floating in front of her eyes. [The favorability of the World Tree has met the standard.] [Passed the Test of the World Tree''.] [You can change jobs with the hidden ss Will of Nature''.] [Do you really want to change jobs?] Two options popped up in front of him. Looking at it, Choco Paijoa replied with a confident face without hesitation. [I swear.] As if hearing the answer he was looking for, the World Tree said with an iprehensible smile. [All life on mynd will be your children, friends, and brothers. Go forth to defend and protect all. Nature will bless your steps and will always be with you.] Uuuuuuuu. That''s how the beautiful green pattern is engraved on Choco Paijoa''s forehead. The pattern, in whichplex and geometric things in the shape of leaves are engraved, emits a soft light and reveals its existence to its heart''s content, then disappears without a trace. [Drive out those who do not belong to thisnd and prepare for the great threat that wille. That is your mission and your holy duty to protect this continent. The n of green leaves will help you on your way.] Quaaaaaaa. After the World Tree''sst words, a huge green energy began to pour from Choco Paijoa''s entire body. A powerful lightpletely fills the eyes. In it, he could hear thest cheer from the World Tree. [I wish you good luck, my child.] * * * [I changed my job to the hidden ss Will of Nature''.] [ Mythical Achievement Became the first human being to be an apostle of the World Tree.] [The power of the World Tree . and divinity acquired.] [Skill Summon Spirit'' acquired] [Skill Nature''s Blessing'' acquired] [ Skill Forest Step'' acquired] [Skill Elemental Force'' acquired I did.] . . . [Spirit Affinity stat created.] [Sensibility stat created.] [Charisma stat created.] . . . [Overall stats will be greatly adjusted.] [The title Apostle of the World Tree'' has been acquired.] [The title Agent of Nature'' has been acquired] [The title Friend of the Spirits'' has been acquired] . . . Tsunami. Messages and alerts literally pouring uncontrobly. What is this... Choco Pie,pletely unconscious, is staring nkly at the messages in front of him. Jaeyoung could hear Tan and L muttering something unexpected. Hey... the saplings seem to be using a bit of strength. I know? Even so, I poured a lot of probability into it. Did you quite like it? Isnt it not nice to drive a guy like that? What would you do if you died like that? Are you stupid? No matter how you look, you are an adventurer. I have the power of immortality anyway, so I have to die? Ah... is that so again? After listening to the story roughly, the world tree seems to have driven a lot of power. Hearing the story of the two, Jaeyoung secretly let out a sigh of relief. Whew..... But fortunately, things work out like this.'' At the end, the 100th time Choco Paijoa was stunned, the branch of the test lost its power and was broken. Now I couldn''t send him even if I wanted to send him again, so I was struggling with what to do if I just sent him back this time. I ca nt believe it... Choco Piezoa looked at her hands here and there as if she couldnt believe it at all. Jaeyoung smiled warmly at him and held out his hand. wee. Jaeyoung congratted him with a strangely evil smile at him who was staring nkly at him as if he did not understand Jaeyoung''s words. In the future, this continent will be overthrown... that it has be the real Choco Piezoa'', the strongest and worst sprout in history that no one dares to ignore. And that he became Jae-young''s living sweet probability mining machine. [The trust of the target has been obtained.] [yer Choco Paijoa is registered as a helper.] [Probability can be obtained as a reward ording to the helper''s y.] Chapter 252 Chapter 252: Materialist Hidden ss Choco Piezoa changes jobs to the Will of Nature. As Jae-young''s new helper and hot probability digger, he kept moving his fingers in the air as if he were busy checking his changed abilities. Master, by the way, I have a question. Tan was staring at Choco Piejoa. He asked Jaeyoung with a mysterious expression, as if he couldn''t understand it at all no matter how much he thought about it with his head. Why on earth did that human suddenly help? Suddenly, wearing the mask of a deceiver and making a fuss in front of many people with a disguised identity. Because he was a miser-like owner who extremely hated wasting his chance for no reason, Tan could not hold back his curiosity as he saw Jae-young doing something he would never normally do. Is the branch he plucked from the World Tree just like that, and that bastard is so useful? It didn''t seem like much, but ..... An insignificant level of 82 Choco Pie Joea. To put it mildly, the karma he had umted while ying the game so far was truly devastating to the point where it was hard to see with both eyes open. Choco Paijoa, who has never had any presence or influence in Arcadia, as if it was not for nothing that the World Tree tried to reject it until thest moment. But those facts weren''t that important to Jaeyoung. doesn''t care. After all, what I expect is notpetence. What are you talking about? At those words, Tan tilted his head. However, Jaeyoung said with a hearty smile as if he was really satisfied. After all, I needed a shield that would faithfully block my aggro, not an ally. Until now, I just used it without thinking... but now I have to be sure to use it after receiving permission. After being impersonated, he continued toin about his situation to Arpendia in a sense of resentment. He coughed up blood and imed his innocence, but he had not yet received public attention. However, if he continues to im that Choco Piejoa, who is attracting people''s attention now, is an impersonator, there is a strong possibility that it will be a subject of controversy someday, so Jae-young decided to use this opportunity. What do you think the character is like? Its great. An impersonator who, just an hour ago, was a fierce enemy who would hate his whole life and curse three generations. However, since the carrot he gave me was so sweet, Choco Piejoa answered in a halfway manner, as if contemting how to react. It wont be just a hidden ss, so grow it well. Even if the World Tree is a tree that cannot even move, it is a deity that is one of the strongest in this world. If there is a hidden ss level, his job will probably be treated as the highest mythic level. He also nodded his head with a quite flushed face, as if he knew the value of the job he had acquired. Thats right! I''ve already received a quest, but it seems to be rted to the next main scenario. This is the magic of the past... Stop. Choco Piezoa seems to be talking about the mission and ns of the World Tree. Realizing what he was about to say, Jaeyoung abruptly cut him off. What does the owner say? The Holy Spirit...? Holy Demon War...? The two rulers of the heavens and the underworld were listening to Choco Piejoa with their ears perked up. In front of the two, who cling like leeches and do not fall off, Jae-young turned the topic around to him who was about to reveal the taffy prepared by World Tree. It''s good to believe in me, but I don''t think it''s okay to reveal things rted to job quests to just anyone. Especially if the main scenario is involved. Arcadia, where information is more valuable than any other game. Unlike other games, in this game, where hidden contents are scattered all over the continent, the first discoverer has a structure in which one person monopolizes everything, so the act of recklessly talking about information that only one knows in front of others is equivalent to being shot in the head. Ah... Choco Pie Joa opens her mouth with a slightly dazed face. Jaeyoung said to him like advice. Dont brag about it to others, grow up as quickly as possible and challenge yourself. It would be incredibly difficult in the main scenario, but the reward would be no joke. I see! The two were at a loss for words for an instant. While staring at each other in awkward silence, Choco Piejoa opened her mouth first. Um... but... what should I do now...? huh? what? Jaeyoung asked what he meant, and Choco Piejoa frowned as if she didn''t know. Thats... Im not sure exactly what I want to do from now on... Fake Choco Pie Joe. The image of himself he impersonated was a level of crazy y that Chan-hee couldn''t dare to follow even if he thought about it himself. First of all... even though I changed jobs, my level itself is so low that my abilities are so pitiful. Skill proficiency is also poor. I don''t think I can show you the Choco Piezoa that I used to be at this level... Chani is weakpared to other rankers, even though her abilities have been corrected due to the world tree. Contrary to the words to live as a shy main character, I was worried that I would only show a poor image again. However, at his words, Jaeyoung asked with a genuinely absurd face. What the hell kind of bullshit is that? what....? Either pooping on the street, changing jobs as a farmer and disappearing, or burning the entire continent. I don''t care what you do In the first ce, I only want one thing from you. What is that...? Choco Pie Joea looks dumbfounded at Jaeyoung''s words that you can do whatever you want. Jaeyoung told him what he wanted. No matter what I do in your guise, never tell anyone again that it isnt you. Choco Pie Joa finally understands what Jaeyoung wants. he asked with a shocked face. Wait a minute. Didn''t you stop impersonating me from now on? It''s not? Then... are you going to do weird things in my image from now on? Is that weird? I''m just ying normally. At those words, Choco Paijoa opened her mouth in an absurd way and said as if she was astonished. Ha..... You turned me into trash in front of the whole world like that? If that wasn''t enough, what else are you going to do? Is this telling me to y the game now or quit? Jae-young tells him to y the game by making it so that he can never y normally by himself. At his contradictory words, Chan-hee questioned him as if he was absurd, but Jae-young waved his hand and said, Don''t worry. Don''t worry about that. I will raise you so that no one can ignore you. Rather... have you used any of the things you used for a long time? what....? anything. It''s just the one you''ve worn the longest. At that, Choco Paijoa tilted her head and took out something with a confused face. Perhaps this leather hat is the one that has been worn the longest? Perfect. Give it to me. what....? I wont steal it, so give it to me first. Choco Piezoa, puzzled by those words, handed over the equipment she had recently installed. Jaeyoung smirked at him, who seemed to have no idea what he was doing. [This item has a lot of karma potential.] [Probability can be granted.] [Required probability: 6000000] [Do you want to grant probability? Y/N] A situation that requires a level of probability that is iparable to that of the previous Vulcanus. However, the reason could be roughly guessed, so Jaeyoung asked with a smile on his face. I know that? what....? The transcendental beings that exist in Arcadia... the fact that each of them has objects that represent their divinity. ...? Choco Pie Joea, who only blinks as if he doesn''t know what he''s talking about. Jaeyoung sincerely enjoyed his reaction and raised his probability. Whoops. An enormous amount of probability emanating from Jaeyoung''s body. Tan and L, who were watching the scene, tried to say something as if they realized what they were doing, but Jaeyoung was quick. Giving probabilities. Wow. Choco Piezoa''s leather hat that absorbs an enormous amount of probability along with Jaeyoung''s words. And something in a familiar form began to appear in front of Jaeyoung and Choco Piezoa. [Haa..... You damned guy.....] How can it be... are you all?! Choco Piezoa is shocked by the appearance of the World Tree. As if she had already been watching everything, as soon as she arrived, she red at him with bloody eyes. She tried to pour out her anger at Jae-young, but failed. Why are you so angry? I am doing everything in my power to help. [Does a person who ims to help force a choice unterally? How dare you do that against me?] She red at Jaeyoung with a ferocious face as if she were watching Tan and L. However, Jaeyoung responded with a rxed attitude. You will feel that it was the right choice in the future. Even if he looks clumsy to me, if I give him a chance, he will do well on his own. [That''s right now...] We''ll discuss itter when we meet in person... Rather than that, I''d like you to take care of this first. Jaeyoung smiles while pointing at his leather hat. Then the world tree was silent for a moment, as if it knew what to do. And then he mumbled as if it was absurd. [You... what is your real identity?] The World Tree was genuinely astonished. She muttered to herself as if she had forgotten that she had been angry until now. [Attach my divinity to this object? Impossible..... How the hell? It''s something my father has never allowed... that''s possible...? Why...?] The world tree looked as if he couldn''t believe that this was possible. Seeing her murmur, as if shocked, Jaeyoung smiled evilly and said. Why is that possible? Bard of Anarchy, where any causality andws can bepletely distorted and ignored as long as probability is guaranteed. Jaeyoung, who knows the infinite possibilities of this job better than anyone else, exined to the World Tree, who looked so confused, why this was possible. Because I allowed it. * * * [The karma and effort umted in the leather hat responds to probability.] [ Gaia has acquired the minimum probability to use the power.] [Gaia''s divinity fully dwells in the item.] [The ability of the item Agile Hunter''s Leather Hat'' ispletely readjusted.] The divinity of the World Tree sessfully nested in the item. When the gray, frayed leather hat turned into a crown made of twisted tree branches, Jaeyoung immediately confirmed the item''s effectiveness. [Coffin of Life: Myth] This is a coffin made when the primordial life was born. The divinity of the mother of all things ispletely melted into it. Only the chosen can wield that power freely. - Wear restriction: Those who have changed jobs through the Will of Nature - Defense: 480~550 - Durability: Infinite - Spirit affinity increase speed increased by 200%. - 300% increase in spirit summoning efficiency. - Elemental Summon Max Rating +1 - Elemental Affinity Penalty Reduced by 100%. -Increases the maximum number of summoned spirits by 100%. -Can use Absolute Recovery'' once a day. An item that grants a tremendous increase in stats rted to summoning spirits. It was an item that threw away the bnce that would not make the word fraudulent at first nce awkward, but it was an item exclusively for Choco Piejoa, the apostle of the World Tree, so Jaeyoung handed it over to him without hesitation. Ill tell you in advance, dont even think about selling anywhere. It''s even worse to go around bragging. Crown of Life, a mythical item given to Jaeyoung. Upon seeing it, Choco Paijoa''s expression changed to a spectacle that was a shame to see alone. Shock. astonished Joy. fear. suspicion. anxious. He showed every moment the facial expression changes like a manic-depressive patient at the end of the day, wondering what thoughts were passing through his head. And then, as if he had made up his mind to do something, he knelt down towards Jaeyoung with a solemn expression and said. From now on, I will serve you as your older brother. Feel free to impersonate yourself. At that moment, Jaeyoung was able to realize the truth of life again. That the world he lives in now is a world of materialism and golden almightyism that can make even the worst of enemies kneel down and shout Brother brother. Chapter 253 Chapter 253 Concept Quality, Preliminaries for the World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament. The final list of finalists determined in this fiercepetition, with 100 finalists selected from each of dozens of sses. And people showed great interest in the results. To the extent that a special program rted to this is screened during prime time on terrestrial television. [Didn''t a lot of contestants show their distinctive features in this preliminary round?] [That''s right. I don''t know if it was Arcadia''s intention, but jobs that seemed to reflect each culture were revealed this time. Among them, sses such as Druids and Shamans in North America and Magical Engineers in Europe attracted attention.] [ That''s right. Hidden sses that are not yet known have been revealed this time. It really made me realize just how many things are hidden in this game. I also tried to find it somehow in the past, but eventually gave up and changed my job to an archer, but I guess this was not enough effort. Hahaha.] Starting from the World''s First Martial Arts Competition, the hidden sses are showing their appearance. People were astonished at the enormous scale of those who exceeded hundreds... no thousands, and were again astonished at the overwhelming force they showed. -This is what it is..... -Bnce shit hahahahaha -Look at the level of Dungmangem. -Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am ying the same game as these guys right? -This is a typical example of a game that is ruined by management. One by one, those who show so much power that you can''t even imagine dealing with them alone. That''s why it brought about a tremendous sense of rtive deprivation to users who had ordinary jobs and enjoyed toomon y. [Yes..... It would be too long to talk about each one individually, so if I briefly mention the most controversial part, it is that the ultimate question of ss bnce has been raised. Until now, the fact that the hidden ss existed was publicly known, but I didn''t know that it would show fraudulent performance in this way.] The hidden ss is generally called a double-edged sword. However, the appearance of those who showed at the World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament was at a level where it was said that it was a scam without paying attention to bnce at all. [Is that enough?] [Yes. Well.... If we could talk about each one, there would be no end, but if we were to pick one of the most talked-about users, there would be a user named Choco Piejoa''. ] I see.] [Yes. In this preliminaries, it is known that he has aroused a lot of public anger about this because he insulted general users in the announcement of his impressions. However, it is famous for doing great things from the beginning. So...] Watching several people talking about themselves earnestly on TV with solemn faces, Chan-hee felt a very strange feeling, not knowing whether she should like this or cry. Haa..... Fuck you..... Even just yesterday, he would have gone crazy iming that it was not him, but an impersonator''s action. But now he let out a deep sigh at this shitty situation where he had to admit he did it even if he didn''t. No, if youre going to hand it over like this, cant you just hand it over as a normal image? Why the hell do people turn people into garbage that can''t even be recycled? Impersonator''s channel. Destroyer''s routine. The ce was already being carpet-bombed by people from all over the world who were driven by huge aggro. It''s literally a situation where all thenguages that exist in this world are eating all the swear words. However, since the subject was pointing at Chan-hee, not the impostor who actually made the remark, his face twisted into a stern look as he read them one by one. Are these damn bastards... really going to sue them all... For some reason, he has the urge to feed Go So-mi deliciously. However, remembering what had happened just a few hours ago, Chani shook her head and suppressed the urge in her heart. No..... I can''t cause such trouble just because it''s been a few hours since I signed the contract... [It''s called Eye Plus. Contact the representative there and meet. I''ll tell you in advance, so they''ll take care of it.] Iplus Co., Ltd. Management that assists video content producers called MCM. As it is famous as one of the promising ces that are growing rapidly in the industry, Chani couldn''t help but wonder at the attitude of the representative of the ce who came out and treated her. I heard the story. Are you the real Choco Pie Joa? Yes..... Representative Jo Seo-wook looks emaciated. It was the first time we met, but Chan-hee answered with doubtful eyes at the appearance of him who seemed to havepletely lost his mentality. First of all... the current situation has no precedent... but if you sign a contract with us, Chani-nim will periodically supply Choco Piezoa''s y videos on the channel called Daily Life of a Destroyer'' in the future. You will also receive some settlement of the profits generated ordingly. Chan-hee carefully read the contract he handed over. Although he was an outsider who had never signed a contract with the rted industry, Chani tilted his head and asked with doubtful eyes at the use that even he did not understand. This... what is it? What are you talking about? stipted uses. Among them, Chani pointed out the parts that seemed to be problematic and questioned. Ownership of the video uploaded to the channel belongs to the channel permanently? And any y video must not be distributed anywhere other than the channel..... I looked it up on the Inte, but I don''t think I''ve seen this provision anywhere. The moment the contract is signed, other distribution channels are blocked at the source, and the contract is full of toxic uses that arepletely tied to one everyday item of the destroyer. And since the contract period was a staggering 10 years, Chani could see that this was not an ordinary situation. Are you cheating on me? Chan-hee questioned with cold eyes. Then CEO Cho Seo-wook said with a helpless smile. I understand. Apletely unexpected answer. That''s why Chani asked with a nk face for a moment. What do you mean you understand? As I said before, this contract is not general and is far from what we use as standard. It''s unprecedented, but Choco Piejoa... No, trying to meet the demands of the impersonator resulted in this ridiculous and enormous ve contract. ve contract. Chani put on an absurd expression at the words of CEO Jo Seo-wook, who sympathized with him as if he knew this fact better than anyone else. That means... Yes. These are the terms requested by the person who introduced Chan-hee to us. He told me... that the most important thing in this contract is to keep Chan-hee''s mouth shut. ..... Silenced. A contract that seems to be filled with the will to block the source so that you don''t even think about uploading videos of you ying on other channels or doing nonsense. Of course, I knew that he wanted to keep his mouth shut because he spoke openly in the game, but I didn''t know that he would limit himself to this in reality. This isn''t right.....'' Chani decided to refuse and opened her mouth as she didn''t want to wear the huge shackles of a contract with legal effect, no matter how great the opportunity was. Im sorry, but I dont think this is the case. No matter how much I think about it, this seems like a serious infringement on my freedom... I see. CEO Jo Seo-wook nodded so calmly and picked up the contract again. I... what are you doing...? Chan-hee asked with a puzzled face while watching him scribble something. In response to his question, CEO Cho Seo-wook sighed and said, He said so. I may refuse at first, but in that case, ask me to add one more contract. What is that... Here. Please check again. Chani blinked at those words and epted the contract again. And he opened his mouth when he saw the phrase added to thest page of the contract. Is this really... right now? yes. -As soon as this contract is concluded, A pays B a lump sum of 3 billion won within 30 business days. 3 billion. A sum of money enough to buy a decent apartment in Gangnam. Watching him offer it as a down payment, Chan-hee froze with an expression of disbelief, but CEO Jo Seo-wook said with a small smile. I dont know Chani-nim because hes not a streamer, but... you dont know how much money that channel earns from ads alone per month, right? The one and only overwhelming Arfandia ranking #1 channel with over 1 billion subscribers. The channel, which has achieved all the unbreakable and unchanging records of Arpendia, is generating phenomenal profits even though the number of uploaded videos is iparably smaller than other channels. Honestly, I would have signed right away even if there was no down payment? If you upload a video to a superrge channel like this and receive a distribution of profits... you won''t have to worry about money in the future. CEO Jo Seo-wook knows that it is a ve contract. However, he was confident that this contract would be concluded even under such circumstances. Because... it was too much money for a 24-year-old returning student to refuse. Sseuseuk. Chan-hee signs the contract without hesitation. So he put a huge shackle around his neck without anyone''s coercion or pressure. With a huge, bulky carrot in his mouth. * * * [You said you signed a contract? You''ve worked hard, CEO.] After the contract with Chani was concluded, CEO Seowook Cho called Jaeyoung, who nned all of this. He asked Jaeyoung, who answered as if he was satisfied, with a tone that he couldn''t understand at all. No, why the hell is that? [What is it?] Haa..... No, I don''t care if Choco Piejoa is fake or real. But what if youpletely destroy the image of the character itself in this way? CEO Jo Seo-wook knows that Choco Pie Joa is a disguised identity. To him, it didn''t matter whether Choco Piejoa was real or fake. I just hope that I will continue to be mystical as I am now and reveal some huge things that can attract people''s attention little by little. However, the image of Choco Paijoa haspletely changed due to the appearance shown in this martial artspetition. A scum with poor character who is conceited after gaining a hidden ss. Subscriber churn and exposure to the global downvote bombardment are also drastically reduced. If it were a normal channel, it would be good to just call it a death sentence. That''s why he couldn''t understand Jaeyoung whomitted such an enormous self-destruction. [Excuse me... CEO. I think you misunderstood something just now..... Choco Pie Joa is trash from the beginning.] Yes...? [Why did I pretend to be Choco Piejoa in the first ce?] That''s... Jaeyoung asked, and countless scenes of Choco Piejoa''s misdeeds and misdeeds shed through his mind. When he thought about them, CEO Cho Seo-wook couldn''t speak. [Besides, this contract is also beneficial to the CEO. It won''t be right now, but will you be able to pull out a lot of videos from the real Choco Pie in the future instead of me?] That''s true, but... Unlike Jaeyoung, who doesn''t listen to requests for videos, he''ll be very cooperative if you coax him a little. Same Chanhee. CEO Seo-wook Cho nodded his head at Jae-young''s words, as numerous ns were springing up in CEO Seo-wook Jo''s head. [So, please guide me so that I can follow the concept I created. Maybe it''s because I don''t do much concept work, so I''m a little nervous, but well... Please filter out those videos yourself.] Jaeyoung''s request not to upload y videos that are too foreign. At his words, CEO Jo Seo-wook tilted his head and asked. What concept are you talking about? [The concept of the strongest and worst bastard.] ..... Chapter 254 Chapter 254 Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon''s Killing Club Finals for the World''s Best Martial Arts Competition. People went wild in this fierce and heatedpetition for each ss. -Archer ss Bayern'' advanced to the round of 16! - A sword battle that makes your heart boil! Round of 32 legend video. - A collection of highlights of the World''s First Martial Arts Tournament. Inte and media outlets pouring out huge amounts of rted articles and video materials. Its poprity was so hot that it could even bepared to the Olympics, so broadcasters and newspapers around the world were eager to publish rted reportspetitively in response to unusual people''s reactions. [Through the World''s Best Fighting Championship, Arcadia, a virtual reality game, presented a new direction to the e-sports industry, which was stagnant. With this incident as an opportunity, the Olympic Committee''s argument for adopting E-sports as an official event will be a little more convincing...] It''s really hot. CEO Lee Mi-yeon turned off the TV she was watching with a satisfied smile. At her words, Kwon Myung-han nodded and said. That''s right. It seems that people gave a lot of points to economic feasibility and efficiency. Being one with a huge crowd and cheering for someone is not an easy thing to do. Even in world-ss internationalpetitions such as the Olympics, it is something that can only be experienced when it is a popr sport. And for that experience, people had to spend an enormous amount of time and money. From airfare to lodging, game tickets, and literally everything, paying exorbitant prices. I guess so. In fact, it''s close to impossible for ordinary people to go to see such a game in person, right? Most of them just watch the game on TV. Its actually difficult to see the lively scene and send enthusiastic support. However, unlike reality, virtual reality was possible. If you transcend time and space and just lie down in a capsule, you can be one with hundreds of thousands of people and watch the game. With this kind of value for money, you really can''t help but be enthusiastic. Apetition that takes ce in a fantastic universe where you cane and go without any burden. Of course, there was a barrier to entry that required Dreamer to ess the virtual reality system, but the data that billions of users visited Fantastic Universe clearly showed how much people were enthusiastic about this event. Whatever it is, the World''s Best Martial Arts Competition'' nned by the Crisis Management Response Team is a great sess. You''ve worked hard, Mr. CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiles andpliments as if she likes it. At her words, Kwon Myung-han lowered his head. no. This is all thanks to the staff below. no. It''s not that I haven''t seen executive director Kwon Myung-han and all the staff working together to try and get rid of the bamboo spear somehow. yes yes?! Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, with a surprised face as if he realized the meaning of President Lee Mi-yeon''s words while answering inadvertently. But she said, waving her hand as if she wasn''t angry. I''m not angry, so don''t worry. I also don''t like yes-men who always give a thumbs up in the first ce. We need future-oriented talents who can say yes and suggest a more progressive direction. Perhaps if I had suggested that we proceed with the 2nd Jukchang Daejeon as an event as I suggested, many people, including the managing director, would have emptied their desks? CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a yful face. However, the executive director who gave her advice realized. What she said was not a joke in the slightest, but an honest thought that came from the heart. I dont really need people with no convictions who cant even talk about themselves. That''s why he couldn''t bear tough and smiled awkwardly in a cold sweat. Hahaha... I have to say everything I want to say to the boss from now on in order to preserve my position. I really didn''t know you were thinking like that. Because it was in a book I recently read that impressed me. I didn''t expect too much, but it works better than I thought, so I''ll have to try several more in the future. yes? What the hell kind of book is this... Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon was curious about what kind of book he read and came up with such crazy ideas. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not answer his question and soon changed the subject. Rather than that... the reaction from users is good, but I heard that the number ofints has increased exponentially? ah. That''s right. Excluding general consultation inquiries, if we look only at protestints..... Most of them were rted to game bncing. At the same time, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han took out the relevant data from the file folder in his hand and handed it to him. President Lee Mi-yeon receives the report from him and reads it carefully. In a moment of silence, only the sound of the chittering of papers lingered in her office. Are they all rted to the Hidden ss? A hidden ss that first appeared in this tournament. Their overwhelming strength fascinated many people, but at the same time aroused great envy and jealousy. -Is this a game? -I didn''t even consider the bnce. Biased level of operation -I hate acting conceitedly with a fraudulent job that I was lucky to get. -Bnce patch! Decreased fraudulent job! -First of all, let''s cut the spirits first. Among the many users who stand out, if only those who appear to be hidden sses are visible, they attack intensively and show a collective movement to form public opinion that persistently demands a bnce patch. And when the crisis management response team, including Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, analyzed the phenomenon, the catalyst that started this situation was none other than Jae-young, who was proudly listed as the number one cklist in the Korean branch. That bastard... Hmmm... Im sorry. After the user called Choco Piejoa'' made all kinds of hateful remarks to all users, rtedints exploded. Therefore, we still need a little more legal review and rted charges, but hopefully we can sanction the user for viting the operating policy. Choco Piezoa caused tremendous damage to gamepanies. In the first ce, since he was an executive director who had seen blood several times through the channel of daily life of a destroyer, he said with his eyes shining like he would never miss this opportunity like a fish in water. How about organizing that user this time? If the president agrees, I will somehow match it and sanction it as much as possible for viting the operating policy. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who has no right to read or ess the information. To him, the user Choco Paijoa was just an evil user who threw shit here and there as if wishing for the game to fail, so he was anxious to take this opportunity to kill him somehow, but at his words, CEO Mi-yeon Lee''s face turned hard. . What do you mean? Managing Director. yes....? Are you crazy? Then what kind of blood are you going to see again? What is that... Choco Piejoa appeared in the Worlds First Martial Arts Tournament. I didn''t know it at first, but President Lee Mi-yeon was able to realize it in his splendid and mind-boggling chaengpan. Whatever it is, the main character who is ying a game here and there is a real nuclear bomb that can burn the game to a level that no one can handle if he puts his mind to it. If youre not going to put a permanent stop, wake up. Don''t provoke me and make me go crazy and go crazy even more viciously than now. If that''s enough, why are you thinking of plucking a handful of nose hairs from a sleeping lion? yes? Do you have anything to ruin the game for? CEO Lee Mi-yeon reacts too violently. Kwon Myung-han, the managing director, kept his mouth shut with a stupid face. Besides... what if you told me to answer the hidden ss this way? Are you going to review the proposal for bncing adjustments internally? No, who wants to handle things like this now? That''s... that''s why... Managing Director Kwon Myung-han, who instructed me to respond to the intense consumerints, saying that I would review them first. However, he couldn''t even properly connect the words to the reaction of Lee Mi-yeon, who was hysterical by pointing it out and making it a problem. In the first ce, the job called Hidden ss is rted to huge epics hidden all over the continent of Arcadia. Each of them are the protagonists who have a huge influence on the entire continent and are the protagonists of the stage called the main scenario. Dont you know that it is far from normal in the first ce? ..... A hidden ss that is very closely rted to the main scenario. Therefore, those who obtained these hidden sses were far from ordinary. Do you think it is right to force normality on such protagonists? And whatever it is, I think it is wrong to say that people who got a jobfortably in a general and standard way and people who acquired a hidden ss through hidden clues with great effort and time are the same. President Lee Mi-yeon shakes her head with a firm conviction as if this is not the case. The executive director who made the decision seemed to disagree with her words. However, President, if the hidden ss shows an excessive level of performance, of course, I think it should be thoroughly checked. Of course, I agree that there should be some merit considering the difficulty of learning the job, but I think some users have honestly crossed the line. People of interest that naturally say, These bastards... are they crossing the line?'' Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon ced a very thick report on her desk and said, like a soldier going to war with a determined will to never back down this time. This is a list of objects of interest managed and recorded by the Korean department. Among them, there are some users whose information we can view, but most of them are private subjects that we do not have ess to rted information. I don''t know what standard it is, but the y information of those who are thoroughly locked so that the management team can never open rted records in any way. Aiming at them, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han made a strong request to President Lee Mi-yeon. Boss, no matter how excellent and perfect AI is, I don''t think I can sympathize with the dissatisfaction and deprivation that ordinary users feel. Our staff, who are human, will respond to this. Please give us permission to ess information about users who request here. We will only take action if it seriously disrupts the bnce. He conveys the will of the bnce nning team, who is getting all kinds of curses from people all over the world, frothing, and feeling unfair. However, President Lee Mi-yeon opened the first page of the report and covered it again, asserting that there was no need for any consideration. That will never happen, so give it up, Executive Director. yes....? I told you before. What you don''t know is medicine. If you try to know things you shouldn''t know, some people will bleed. ...? The cklist presented by Kwon Myung-han. One person''s name proudly listed at the very beginning. [The yer who is the top priority for investigation rted to job bncing: Dex] Seeing that, CEO Lee Mi-yeon wanted to grant his request, but couldn''t. Don''t obsess over what you can''t do. That would make things moreplicated. Whatever it was, what Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was about to do now seemed like a maddening attempt to ruin the game by opening Pandora''s Box, where nuclear warheads were hidden. Chapter 255 Chapter 255 The World''s Best Martial Arts Tournament''s Finals! Various sses werepeting, but there were a few ces that drew attention. -It''s good to fight, but isn''t it good for the adventure ss because it has a unique way to y? -Looking for clues in ruins and excavating treasure? What''s fun about that? It''s very boring. -Still, it seems to be more fun than a production job match. - Ugh hahaha Is anyone going to see it there? It was a real dog jam. -What about the thieves who secretly infiltrate and steal things? It also has a heart-wrenching taste. It is not just a general battle, but the best martial artspetition in the world that is designed to give tasks suitable for the characteristics of the job andpete in their own way. Although the production ss did not attract people''s attention and the attendance rate was so low that the audience seats were empty, one game was so popr that the stadium had to be expanded because of the crowd. -Kiaaaaang! Angelina Snow! -Circle 1 is the future of wizards! Let''s all raise the bar! - How to have a strong mind in a strong body. Wizards should take strength first... The splendid divine Angelina who destroyed all basicmon sense and stereotypes about wizards. -Isn''t this a fucking scam? - No matter how much I yelled at the customer center, they didn''t even pretend to listen. -No, I know he''s strong, but that bastard is so disgusting. -agreed. If you don''t have it like that, the good feelings that you had are gone. -How can a guy like that be friends with Dex in real life? Choco Piejoa summoned an enormous spirit, openly spit out all sorts of hateful remarks, and drew global aggro. In addition, various people received their own attention and became popr, butpared to the level of interest directed to these two, it was only a candle in front of the sun. Its been a while. A cafe located in Fantastic Universe. There, sipping hot chocte, Jaeyoung greeted the hot topic sitting in front of him with a satisfied smile. It has be so strong that it is unrecognizable. I had a good time in the preliminaries. Angelina, whom I first met at the Jukchang Daejeon. Just six months ago, he was just an ordinary low-level beginner wizard, but now he has be a strong man and sits in front of Jae-young. What am I It seems like nothingpared to you. Angelina blushed in embarrassment at Jaeyoung''s words and replied. It was true that she had grown so explosively that she could not be recognized, but Jaeyoung, who was sitting in front of Angelina, was also doing tremendous things. I should have known this from the time I chose the bamboo spear in the bamboo spear war. You don''t even dare to follow me. He has aplished many things that are difficult for ordinary users to aplish even a single one. Angelina tried to catch up by doing crazy things somehow, but it was infinitely not enough to surpass Jaeyoung. You seem to have done a lot in your own way, only in a different direction. Having Casis attached seems to be helping to some extent. of course. It''s a shame that he exins it so unkindly, but he sure knows very well how to be strong. Casis, one of the strongest yers in the action RPG Icarus. Possessing monstrousbat senses and skills, he asked Angelina to do almost entric things. [Limited to Circle 1, make full use of your fraudulent traits. Closebat is your strongest point.] [Train to match the physical strength and strength of a warrior. From now on you are a warrior. I''m not a wizard.] [But don''t neglect your training as a wizard. In the future, focus on using basic bolt magic inbat situations.] [How are you going to hunt by dodging and attacking like that? Shuk like this! Shock like that! Move fast!] Beginners wield a wooden sword and strike down a scarecrow thousands of times, from basic training to rock climbing or a death triathlon. He would do anything to increase his stamina and strength. As a result of investing in strength and stamina as well as stats ording to level up, Angelina was able to increase her stamina and strength to a level that would not be ashamed of any warrior despite being a wizard. I have be what people call the so-called power master... but I dont know if this is really true in the long run. It seems to be a way that is far from the direction my hidden ss requires. But Angelina had serious concerns. The first upbringing method that has no precedent. The magician who took all the power existed only as a drip, but no matter how much I searched, there were no cases where he did such crazy things in Arcadia. Especially because it is so different from the training method required by her job Moonlight Mage''. Ummm..... What''s the current skill level? ah. I have something to say about that too. Circle 1 magic with numerous types of magic. But among them, the magic Angelina used intensively was limited. fire bolt. ice bolt. Lightning Bolt. Magic Missile. Angelina was hunting using only bolt magic of each attribute. And one day, while hunting a boss monster, she was able to acquire a new skill the moment she fell into danger. [With repetitive actions, the necessary conditions for skill creation have been met.] [The skill Ovep'' has been created.] [ The skill Amplification'' has been created.] [The skill Fusion'' has been created. It has been done.] [You have learned the direction of new magic.] [You can receive a great reward if you report the rted information to the Mage Tower.] [ The title Pioneer of Magic'' has been obtained.] So... bolt magic and A rted passive skill was created? huh. Although it was limited to bolt magic... But it greatly amplifiedbat efficiency? Thanks to that, even if the level goes up, there is no great difficulty in hunting even with circle 1 magic. No matter how high the skill rank is, 1 circle is 1 circle. The limits of its destructive power and power had to be stark, but Angelina''s 1st circle was different. If the power is insufficient, isn''t it enough to ovee it with quantity?'' Her battle magic that stacks, amplifies, and fuses dozens, hundreds... thousands of spells. The method ofpletely ignoring the limitations of the circle and creating destructive powerparable to high-level magic was an original method that even Jae-young had never heard of. Oh, how strange? Was it possible to amplify the magic like that? Um... I''ve never heard of it... was that even possible? I dont know. Isnt the magic that humans usepletely different from ours? Thats true, but it doesnt seem like it would be easy... Um... Tan and L also looked interesting and thought about the possibilities with Angelinas story. But she asked with a serious face as if she really didn''t know if she was walking in the right direction. What do you think? Can I really do this in the future? An iron bar in one hand. Staff in the other hand. Angelina uses two blunt weapons to split the opponent''s earthenware pot in half and unleashes devastating 1st-circle magic. At her question, Jaeyoung smiled and said as if he was thinking about something like that. Then what do you do? Even now, do you want to invest your abilities in intelligence or magic and go around using magic like normal people? Jaeyoung asks what the right path is. At his words, Angelina frowned as if she didn''t understand. No, not that... I dont know if it was before, but now Im against it. The job of a wizard has clear advantages, but in return, its drawbacks are also very clear. It''s difficult to learn magic books, but it''s practically impossible to use high-level magic, right? An 8-circle magic that requires a rhythm game with a high degree of difficulty beyond human level. Seeing that such a case has not yet spread among users, it seemed like they were asking for such crazy things from the 7th circle onwards, but I thought that Angelina was absolutely not a great person who could sessfully clear a rhythm game of extreme difficulty in a tense battle situation. Jaeyoung said firmly. Just do what you normally do and dont be swayed by worrying about other peoples eyes. This world, as the saying goes, has no set path, and you make your own path. unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. Arcadia is a world where anything is possible, just like the motto of this gamepany. Jaeyoung looked at Angelina, who kept her mouth shut with an expression of unsure, and said with a smile. And... people were crazy about your freshness? Wasnt the reaction a joke? Ah... did you see that too...? At those words, Angelina muttered in a crawling voice as if embarrassed with a blushing face. - A crazy bitch who beats until he dies if he doesn''t die. - Korean Crazy Magician. - This is what power wizards are like. - Who cares.... The earthen pot crush! so cool! -Holy Shit! Someone drop that crazy bitch. I''m afraid we''ll meet in the finals. Her barbed wire that chills the heads of otherpeting wizards who have advanced to the finals. Her fighting style of rushing right into battle and forcing meleebat was the way other wizards hated the most, so everyone was earnestly praying for it in their hearts. -Please, that crazy bitch! -Even if we meet, we have to meet in the finals. That''s how you do 2nd ce. -Haa..... I thought there wouldn''t be a situation like this because it''s apetition between the same ss..... -If you''re good at meleebat, at least your magic is weak! Why are both strong! The birth of a disturbing species that disturbs the ecosystem of peaceful wizards. Jaeyoung smiled, imagining the other wizards who would be throbbing, hoping they wouldn''t meet her somehow. Rather than that... where did Casis go? I don''t know. I''m preparing for the finals for that kid, so don''t look for it for a while. Angelina gets annoyed and says not to even talk about it. With an iprehensible face, she began pouring out her umtedints to Casis. I dont know who I might meet, but did you know that I look up each video to analyze the fighting style of other people who have advanced to the finals? No matter how coveted the winning reward is, do I have to go this far to prepare? No, as long as you get a hidden ss that asks if you''re a weapon master or something, you''re strong enough, and you''re just too impatient... Ah. He started again. I''ve felt this before, but he''s a very talkative person. Angelina talked about all sorts of things through TMI for a long time in the midst of Tan and L''s sighs. And she asked with a puzzled face as if she had suddenly remembered. ah. that''s right. I''ve been wanting to ask you for a while, but what the hell is that face? ah. this....? Choco Pie Joe. Jaeyoung hides her true self and disguises herself as Choco Piejoa. Angelina waved her hand as if she knew who it was. No, I mean, why the hell are you going to this tournament disguised as someone you dont even know who you are? Not like you, but with an extremely unlucky figure. Angelina doesn''t understand Jaeyoung''s idea at all. Jaeyoung told her with a yful smile. Hmm... In short, my meat shield? Isnt it... like a friend shield...? ....What are you talking about? You''ll find outter when you win. Jaeyoung smirked with an evil smile and muttered meaningfully. But Angelina soon learned the meaning of that smile. - Appearance of intermediate and advanced spirits. The final match of the summon series stained with astonishment. -Choco Piezoa, who was hiding his power? What is its true identity? - Arcadia Co., Ltd. Confirmed again that there is no bnce problem. Users in controversy. -An interview with the first spiritist Poongwol. Elementalists aren''t like that!'' speaking. Looking at his entricity of ying all sorts of games with overwhelming strength, making fun of summoning games and upying all media articles and Arfandia. Chapter 256 Chapter 256 Choco Pie Joa Crosses the Line The World''s Best Martial Arts Competition Finals. There were numerous matches in progress, but among them, the summoning match brought about a great deal of controversy. - No, but isn''t this a bit off? -I heard that you can only summon higher level spirits if you are at least 250. -??? So, how many levels is Choco Piejoa? -It''s not a bnce issue, but isn''t this almost a scam or a bug? -There are no sanctions against nuclear users, this damn operator. Choco Paizoa summoned hundreds... thousands of low-level spirits. But as if that wasn''t all, he surprised everyone by bringing out new things for eachpetitor he met in the finals. [Uhm..... Only intermediate level this time?] [Advanced Kazuah!] He summons and summons spirits of all attributes, from intermediate to advanced, and annihtes enemies with overwhelming levels. I don''t know if it''s a normal user, but those who are walking the path of the Elementalists know how absurd this situation is, so they vehemently protested with bubbles. [This really makes no sense! In order to summon a mid-level spirit, you basically have to raise the affinity of the lower-ss spirit of the corresponding attribute to the maximum, perform special quests, and increase the spirit affinity to at least 500. A higher level spirit? And all of its attributes? Do you think this makesmon sense? It must be a super ount created by the operator!] Danju Pungwol of Hwarangdan, who even discloses specific figures and conditions, insisting on how unrealistic this situation is. His official interview broadcast spread through the Inte and Arfandia, but Choco Paijoa did note up with any exnation about it. Rather, Arcadia issued an official statement to protect him. [Recently, it has been confirmed that there is nothing unusual after an internal review of users who have raised various suspicions. In addition, please note that actions that raise maliciousments or repeated suspicions toward specific users on Arpendia are grounds for sanctions.] Despite the announcement of the operator''s position that there is no problem , people. They started to ze with Arcadia''s announcement. -No problem? Do you still say that while watching what is happening in the finals? - Ugh haha. How the hell did that Choco Pie kid y the game? -Wow... that''s not a scam? -Hahahahahahahahaha is this a game? Choco Pie Joea, who seems to not know what the word moderately'' means, is really determined and is going crazy. Jae-young reached the final by beating the outstandingpetitors. Looking at the opponent standing in front of him with a nervous face, he muttered with a surprised face. This is a very strange rtionship... So...? Tan looks at the person in front of him with a look of surprise, as if agreeing with Jaeyoung''s words to himself. He said as he looked at the person who had grown in an iparable way from when they first met. It looked very corrupt, but it doesnt seem that bad now. Of course,pared to the argamer, it still seems to be at a disastrous level, but... The ck me Dragon of Darkness, the No. In the form of a pale, skinny evil lich, he stood in front of him, exuding a grim aura. [ruler! The highlight of the long-awaited World''s First Martial Arts Tournament! The finals to determine the final winner of the Summon Match Match will begin. Choco Paijoa, a rising divinity who surprised everyone by summoning an enormous number of spirits! And the evil Lich ck me Dragon of Darkness, who is the ruler of the Maroon Kingdom and handles the dead! Who will be the winner of these two? Giggles...!] The goblin introduces the two of them with a cheerfulugh. At his remarks, all sorts of booing and cheers flowed from the enormous crowd, which seemed to have gathered dozens... no, millions. [Dark me Dragon! Crush that damn bastard!] [ck me Dragon! ck me Dragon! ck me Dragon!] [Your Majesty! hurray! Long live the Maroon Kingdom!] [Die! Choco pie like!] [Choco pie like! Die!] [Ooh ooh ooh!] Cheering and praise for the ck me Dragon of Darkness. Choco Piejoa was booed and cursed. Jaeyoung grumbled with a sad expression on the inside at the contradictory reaction. Hey.... No matter how much you dont like me, how can you be so biased in cheering? No matter how much it was, Choco Piejoa attracted all sorts of aggro in the hopes of forming a fandom of its own. However, despite his efforts, people were preupied with expressing hot anger and vivid hatred towards him. Master, you acted like trash like that, but who likes you? that''s right. You know you did it on purpose, and you would have been incredibly disappointed otherwise. Even though they are contractors, Tan and L don''t care about the circumstances and beat them up with straightforward facts. In response to the words of the two, Jaeyoung shamelessly said that it didn''t matter. How are you? It''s not me who gets cursed at. Jae-young is making the most of his disguised identity. Anyway, he said as if he didn''t care, because even if he thought the subject wasn''t himself, there wouldn''t be any psychological damage. Then, Tan and L looked at Jaeyoung with absurd faces and said. Wow..... real trash..... Such irresponsible attitude! Not good! Tan, who is busy taking notes, seems to havee up with another idea, and L, who angrily nags Jae-young. The ck me Dragon of Darkness, who was watching the scene from the front, suddenly opened his mouth and asked. What have you been muttering to yourself since earlier? To him, who can''t see Tan and El, Jae-young looks like a crazy person. At his words, Jaeyoung suddenly realized that the game had just begun, and waved his hand. Ah... nothing. It''s been a really long time. It has changed a lot from before. what....? Have we ever met...? In short, an opponent I''ve never met before. However, he couldn''t help but freeze at his words with a mischievous smile and a yful question. So... is it good to be king? what....? A familiar question that I''ve heard once before. The ck me Dragon of Darkness felt as if the things that had happened on the day that he could never forget were passing through his head. [Is it good to be king?] [If you got the hidden ss, you''ll die.] [Now, it''s time for Cindere''s magic to be lifted.] [The moneylender came to get back the power she borrowed.] Main scenario witch hunt. The mysterious man who appeared as soon as he cleared the main scenario and conquered the Maroon Kingdom, annihted the Argamer and lost most of his power. Although the appearance and voice were all different, the ck me Dragon of Darkness instinctively realized that he was the same person he killed himself. You... who the hell are you? How do you know that? A ck me dragon of darkness growling with a threatening voice. Jaeyoung said with a satisfied smile at his reaction. me? Elementalist Choco Paijoa. That''s not what I''m asking. You must be... I know you have a lot of questions, but I think the two of us will have to fight right now? Jaeyoung smiles and points to the cheering audience in the distance. He said to the dark me dragon with a confused face. Do your best to win. Then maybe you can tell me? Choco Pie Joa talks as if she is teasing herself and patronizes her. At his words, the ck me Dragon of Darkness made a strange expression, then gnashed his teeth and spoke with a venomous face. You want me to win...? Woo woo woo. A pitch-ck aura of darkness emanating from his body. The mighty energy of death began to fill the arena, and soon something began to crawl out of the floor. Geuuuuuuu..... Kiaaaaaagh! Huh uh ..... Kuung. thud. p p p. less so less so From slithering zombies oozing sea poison to ghouls that boast solid and fast movement speed. Hundreds of sobbing banshees and rattling skeletons absorbing the life of their opponents. When the Death Knight, a death knight wearing pitch-ck armor, appeared, the audience was shocked for a moment. [crazy! How many undead can youmand?] [One, two, three..... I''m sure there are at least hundreds?] [Hey... There''s even one Death Knight over there?] [What is it. ck me Dragon over 200? How did he get to the Death Knight...] [Come to think of it, the level of the ck me Dragon was... 199 thest time I saw it?] Level 200. It is a demonic state and a level that has not yet been achieved among users. Feeling the eyes of the users staring at him, the ck me Dragon smiled with a confident face and said. Ill beat you however you want. You''d better not be too proud. The moment you reach level 200, you be stronger than before. His indirect message that he reached level 200. At those words, cheers like thunder poured from here and there, as if a bomb had exploded. [Wow! 200!] [ck me Dragon! ck me Dragon! ck me Dragon!] [You are the hope of ck magicians! The dog is cool!] [Destroy that damn bastard! Please!] The first person to reach level 200. The ck me Dragon of Darkness seems to be determined to secure the world''s No. 1 ranking and show its strength to the whole world. In fact, the undead he summoned looked menacingly strong just by looking at them. Ummm... Skeleton Warrior Archer Mage... You summoned it pretty evenly. Zombies and ghouls still seem to have low skill proficiency. I don''t know about zombies, but ghouls haven''t developed skill ranks yet? Oh, by the way, the transforming body is affected by the zombie mastery, so you have to pay attention to that too, right? Curse magic and offensive magic also steadily raise their ranks. It''s not good to rely too much on summoning. what....? Choco Piezoa is giving lessons as if she has yed a Necromancer herself. However, the contents were so detailed and urate that the ck me Dragon of Darkness opened its mouth. How do you know those things? The things that a Elementalist can know... I know how I know because I''ve tried it too. what....? Jae-young, who has experience ying with the help of an argamer. So even though he knew it, the face of the ck me Dragon of Darkness, who did not know it, was bound to be more confused. There are more and more things I want to ask you. The ck me Dragon of Darkness reaffirms its will to win this tournament. Seeing therge army of undead slowly approaching with a fierce force following his hand gesture, Jaeyoung smiled and raised his strength. Whoops. I know that? ...? Jaeyoung... no, a huge storm of power swirling around Choco Piezoa''s body. He muttered with a look of great anticipation. Is there a way to make people go crazy, no matter how cheap it is? What the heck is that... Dark ck me Dragon with an iprehensible expression. However, as if realizing what Jaeyoung was trying to do, Tan and L were screaming in horror. hey! master! it''s crazy? What are you going to do now? This.... It really is a colossal waste of probability. Probability that is not abundant and even overflows. Jaeyoung''s boiling curiosity that he can''t stand to be curious about. Even the promise for the real Choco Pie Joa to make her a more splendid main character than anyone else. Jaeyoung, who prepared for the finale where all of them were splendidly intertwined, spoke to the Dark me Dragon, who was perplexed with eyes full of anticipation. You just need to be strong enough that no one dares to refute you, so that you dont even need to fight. Whoops. A huge stadium that looks like several football fields put together. Jaeyoung called out in the middle of a huge storm of spirit power encroaching on the area to the extent that the entire stadium, which seemed to hold millions of people, was shaken. Come out. Ifrite, lord of zing heat and mes. The fire spirit king. That''s how the winner of the summon series finals of the World''s First Martial Arts Tournament was decided. The first elemental king appeared and created a huge boom among users who aspired to be elementalists. In the aftermath of the aftermath, they shed bloody tears while trying to exin themselves in a sweaty way, and produced many employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. whose family and love lines were broken. Chapter 257 Chapter 257 Worldview Integration Jack, Creator of Arcadia. He''s been in a great moodtely. [How is the situation outside of Alice?] The world in virtual reality is really chaotic. But the outside world was a part he couldn''t grasp directly, so Jack asked, his eyes full of curiosity. [It doesn''t look very good. Each branch, including President Lee Mi-yeon, entered an emergency meeting. Reporters from media outlets and angry consumers are all around thepany.] The World''s Best Martial Arts Competition. It was not a localized event that proceeded differently for each continent as before, but it was a situation where the world''s attention was really gathered, so the ripple effect of what Jaeyoung did was enormous beyond imagination. - Do you think this makes sense? - I can understand the intermediate or advanced level, but the King of Spirits is beyond Mr. Seon. -This is a bug or a hack no matter how you look at it. or unexined. ?? - To be honest, it ended too empty for the finals. Damn the bnce. - Ha ha ha ha ha It''s the king of spirits, isn''t that normal? One blow. Ifrit, the spirit king, turned all of the undead army he summoned, including the ck me Dragon of Darkness, into ashes with a single attack. All of Arfandia was talking about him because of his fraudulent and transcendent majesty. -The biography of Choco Piejoa. -The rtionship between Choco Piezoa and the World Tree. - Estimation of Choco Piejoa''s upation. -Choco Pie Joea..... It''s a situation where everyone''s attention and attention is on the rise. But Jack muttered as if he couldn''t understand even more because he knew the true identity of the Choco Paijoa. [How on earth was he able to summon the Spirit King?] [Currently, the yer has signed a specific contract with the World Tree, which is in charge of direct channeling with the spirit world. Theoretically, it is possible.] n to exploit the probability of the World Tree. Jack, who knew something about it, nodded. [No, I know that. But how much probability overflows to summon the king of spirits? This isn''t a normal summon, it''s Advent''.] Ifrit, the spirit king of fire, who is nature itself and the source of the element called fire. Certainly, since he was a deity who had been entrusted with a mission from Jack and belonged to one of the absolutes that ruled the spirit realm, spirit kings like Ifrit were not beings that could be summoned so easily. [When an absolute threat to Arcadia is imminent. Or, it couldn''t appear unless intervention from another realm took precedence, so how did you do that? It wouldn''t be possible with a normal level of probability...] Tens of millions even at least for summoning. If you use your power properly, it''s a probability that you can easily pass a billion. However, as far as Jack understood, he knew that Jaeyoung had umted quite a lot of probabilities, but not that many, so he muttered incredulously. And to that question, Alice immediately gave an answer. [That was possible because it was under special conditions.] [What...?] [Basically, the amount of probability consumed is calcted ording to the ripple effect of the yer''s actions and the chain of causality. However, the yer was not in Arcadia, but in Fantastic Universe, apletely separate event map. That''s why it has no effect on the continent of Arcadia and any of the people who live there. Also...] Jack listened carefully to her exnation of why this was possible. And soon, with a puzzled face, he opened his mouth. [So... It''s an independent dimensionpletely separate from Arcadia, so the probability consumption was calcted as 1/10 of the usual?] [ That''s right. It''s a resource for why that''s a fair measure. Please refer to it.] Then, an enormous amount of documents that could easily exceed dozens of pages appeared in front of Jack''s eyes. Data that is full ofplex graphs and forms that make your eyes go round at a nce. It was not that she doubted her judgment because she was fair and fair to everyone, but the situation where even the summoning of the spirit king was possible was problematic even in Jack''s eyes. [Ummm... So that''s how it was possible. I''ll get to know about this once. Anyway, Ellis, are you saying that a simr situation will not happen in Arcadia?] [It is possible if the probability is sufficiently guaranteed, but it seems unlikely that a simr situation will ur.] Probability of tens of millions to billions is necessary to make it possible. Sanghang. When Alice said that it was possible because of the very special conditions of the event terrain that Fantastic Universe only opens for a limited time, Jack said as if he was relieved. [Yeah... No matter how special that guy''s job is, it''s still difficult to overextend the flow of Arcadia. It''s the same with Zenica, and the outside atmosphere is very disturbing these days.] [Are you talking about Korea?] [It''s probably like that. I heard that the atmosphere among the politicians of that government has been bloody ever since they started making an underground city called the Underworld or something? As with President Lee Mi-yeon, the ce where Arcadia stands out the most is in Korea, so if there is any problem, it will be troublesome.] The government and the National Assembly are still in fierce confrontation over legition rted to the virtual reality industry. Of course, no one was against the promotion of the virtual reality industry, but the passage of the bill was still sluggish because of the National Assembly, which tried to block the construction n of an underground city that wouldpletely devastate the real estate market. [No matter how hard it is, you won''t be able to stop the virtual reality service. If that happens, it will cause tremendous bacsh and social confusion.] However, virtual reality has taken root too deeply in society topletely ban virtual reality just because thew has not yet been established. Moreover, its infinite possibilities have recently been attracting the attention of the enormous economic world, so it has long since had such a huge influence that no one dares to touch it. [that''s right. You have to be careful though. I don''t know how picky Jenika is these days. Ugh..... How many times have you yelled at theb these days? Are all the researchers going into the ughterhouse with faces?] Jenika Paul, who is the head of Silicorp and has a reputation as a devilish level researcher. As if to prove that she is the granddaughter of Sillykov Paul, who was famous for being a master of biological experiments in the past and notorious for being a ferocious mad scientist, she is a mere middle school student, but with tremendous miasma and rage, she is a secret research facility, the Hive. was overwhelming all of them. [Because I am also responsible for the events that happen in the game. Well... I don''t say anything about being moderately loud, but when a big incident happens, I mean nagging again.] Jack sighs deeply and wets his head as if he doesn''t want to hear that lion''s roar again. And he suddenly thought of something, and then smiled as if he was having fun. [But still... they look alike.] [I can''t understand what the manager is saying.] Alice asks what Jack is saying to himself. In response to her question, Jack muttered as if talking to himself, feeling really strange. [That user called Dex. Somehow, he seems to be very simr to that guy'' who conceived and developed the job.] A key developer who created and conceived all the virtual reality-based systems, and Jack''s savior. Jae-young, who is ying a job called Wanderer of Challenging Times'', which he nned and created himself and put into the game, sometimes shows the same behavior pattern to the extent that he and the two are mistaken for the same person. [One guy is in real life and the other guy is ying all kinds of shit in virtual reality. I wonder how things can be the same... honestly, it''s kind of strange.] It was a w that their minds seemed to be a little... no, a lot twisted, but they still do all sorts of entricities that make the popcorn pull on itself. It was so much fun for Jack to be with them and observe the whole story closely. [Come to think of it... Do you know anything about him? It''s very quiet these days...] It''s been almost two years since the fuss over the creation of an underground city called Underworld. Unlike the past, when incidents exploded every day, the atmosphere seemed so calm. When Jack tilted his head and asked, Alice said, [As a result of aprehensive analysis of Argos'' database and Jenika''s recent work trends, it seems that she is conducting research rted to space exploration.] [ What...? Universe...?] [Yes. They seem to be preparing for arge-scale rocketunch in coboration with NASA.] At those words, Jack froze with an absurd face. I was in a daze for a moment at thepletely unexpected answer, and I asked again if it was a sudden question. [No... What the hell is Zenica doing there?] [I understand that the equipment requested is being developed and manufactured.] [Ask...? What...?] Jack seems to have heard somewhere that he has been overturning theb these days, with his hair like a scrubber and all sorts of hysteria and irritability. And when he confirmed the identity of the object Jenica was making with all her heart, Alice showed her, and opened her mouth as if it were absurd. [No.83 Project Phoenix.] A huge amount of blueprints and concept papers are filling up in front of your eyes. Although Jack was unfamiliar with the field of biotechnology and medicine, he asked with a genuinely puzzled face as he was still at the level of grasping the approximate usage. [What the hell is this...?] [Simply put, it''s a bio-resurrection system. It replicates all the memories stored in the brain in real time, and in the event of death in an emergency, it is structured to transfer all existing memories to the perfectly cloned body and resurrect them anew. When the system is operating normally, even if the user dies, the user cane back to life in a new body and continue life with the existing memory.] Bybining the yet undeveloped cloning technology and the information exchange technology with the highly developed brain, A resurrection system that even made eternal life possible. Jack asked with shaky eyes, realizing that he was building something like a nuclear bomb that, if its existence were revealed to the world, would cause enormous moral and religious controversies and turn the world upside down. [Why on earth...?] Jack is curious as to why he is making something like this. To him, Alice replied as if she didn''t know. [To quote what the person concerned said to Zenica-nim exactly... There are many people in this world who want to kill me, so I have to be prepared for emergencies .'' He has an idea to prepare a system that exists and at the same time actually puts it into practice. Seeing such a crazy idea put into action, Jack admired it with a look of wonder as if it was truly amazing. [As expected.... I can see why there is the highest chance of being shot and killed while walking.] The first cause of death is always the possibility of being shot and killed while walking''. As if he finally understood the reason, Jack muttered with a tired face, but he didn''t know. What kind of death will the person who created this phoenix project face? And the moment the project is put into operation, what a moment of great upheaval the world faces. The chief developer of the Eyes of Argos, an integrated information surveince system that monitors and analyzes everything in the world, and the actual owner of Ajin Electronics, Argos, and Arcadia. The benefactor, savior, and close partner of Silicoff, Jenica, and Jack. By Kim Min-soo, who is called a genius boy. Chapter 258 Chapter 258 The Korean continent is tough! Rooftop of Arcadia Korea branch. People with coffee and cigarettes were huddled here and there in that secret space that relieved unspeakable grievances and resentment that had been stored in the heart, regardless of which department was covered. Haa... I really can''t breathe. Manager Park Yang-cheol works in the public affairs office. He sighed deeply with a tired face as he picked up the coffee he had just drawn from the vending machine. Reporters.... The atmosphere is a joke, isnt it? Dont talk. If you don''t give anything away, it''s really on the level of being eaten. The foreign press continues to make international calls. It''s very uproar, it''s uproar. Manager Park drank the hot coffee in one breath as if feeling frustrated. He opened his mouth as he felt his throat and chest heat up for a moment. How is the atmosphere in the nning room? Well... As you know, the high-ranking people were anxious to avoid responsibility. When the event seems to have been a great sess, they say that they worked hard, and when they stick a spoon, now they are busy ignoring everything and ming the bombs. okay....? Whew. I''m really sorry, I''m really sorry. You take on all the hardships of suffering, but how can things not work out like this? Official Bomb Division Crisis Management Response Team in Korea. They were the protagonists who nned the world''s first integrated event, the World''s Best Martial Arts Competition, and were the heroes who prevented President Lee Mi-yeon''s insane n to bring out the bamboo spear and show it to users. was changed at once. -78% of the final winners were confirmed as Korean users! -Winners concentrated on a specific continent. What is the cause? - Suspicion of biased operation. Arcadia''s pro-national move? - All abnormal yers turned out to be Korean users. - Silent Arcadia. What are their real intentions? - Worldwide rification demands. Do you disclose user information? The Dark me Dragon, the conductor of death. Ignis, the Mage of Heat Wave. Brilliant Sword Arthur. I also stepped on lego in secret. Starlight Witch Ste. Blood Warrior Ax Taste Gong Du. I am Yatongson, the cksmith of the mes. All Weapon Master Casis. . . . Those who were famous as Korean rankers all upied the rankings and monopolized the championship reward. Even with that, outstanding rankers and their fans around the world who were aiming for the championship were dissatisfied, but there was someone else who set off the bomb. Circle 1 Archmage Angelina. Despite being a mage, she showed melee fighting power equal to that of a ranker-level warrior. Numerous wizard users fiercely protested against her move, ignoring the implicit national rule that she did not cross over other industries, holding a hard and vicious iron bar and staff in both hands and splitting countless wizards'' earthenware pots in half. -Shit! this is a foul Does an iron rod make sense in the battle of holy wizards? -I''m not a warrior, but the melee damage is filthy, so why is the magic like that again? -Is the 1st circle magic stronger than any 3rd circle? More than that, why is the casting speed of that crazy bitch like that! -Is there a hidden ss like that? What! What the hell is this! -This is definitely a naive and dirty ploy from Korea! It must have been some nasty trick to monopolize the reward in this way! Unlike famous rankers whose names are widely known, Angelina has not been known until now. Since the Great Battle of Jukchang, she has been ying quietly without rumors, almost as if in seclusion, so the majesty that she first revealed at the World''s Greatest Martial Arts Tournament shocked everyone who saw her. While creating a lot of suspicion and controversy. I mean... Honestly, regarding the user named Angelina, is there any information we have figured out during the Jukchang Daejeon event? So there was some internal exnation and understanding. The problem is that Choco Pie Joe. Spirit King Summoner Choco Pie Joea. The owner of a channel called Destroyer''s daily life, and a user hidden in a veil who has not been able to ess any relevant user information from the beginning when the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. recognized him. The number ofints and information inquiries rted to him was so enormous that it was iparable to anyone else. -That ignorant bastard. What is it? -Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm King of spirits. Do you want to summon the king of spirits now? -No, what kind of spirit king was the next door neighbor? does this make sense? - This gamepany is really running like shit. Hey, you should do it to the extent of being biased. This dung beetle. -What kind of bastard caught the bnce? Shouldn''t even the person in charge dogeza have to fuck it? -Does this seem like something that can be passed on just by shutting your nose and staying still? What''s the game management like? Choco Piejoa ignited the envy and jealousy of irrationality and partiality that were buried deep in the hearts of users all over the world beyond Korea. Suspicion and anger about hispletely iprehensible y naturally went to all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd. No, not just in Korea, but literally from users all over the world, inquiries and criticisms are pouring in. Other branches are also asking for rification on the users involved, but they can''t provide any information. Do you think this makes sense? Right now, even the branch managers are working hard to resolve this situation. Choco Pie Joa is thoroughly wrapped in a veil without even the slightest bit of information. Even the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., the operatingpany, did not know the information about him, so they had no choice but to be beaten without taking any action despite the users'' boiling requests for rification. Haa..... Why do strange people keep popping up from somewhere? I mean... I think only Korea has a lot of crazy people. Korea released the game half a yearter than the US. However, seeing the users who showed great results and yed an active role in this World''s Best Martial Arts Competition, the two were able to experience the uniqueness of Koreans once again. I don''t know anything else, but I can''t lose when ites to games. If you don''t y a game for even a day, your hands will grow thorns. Life isn''t worth living if you don''t y games. Korean users who upied the PC game world in the past, fiercely enthusiastic and immersed inpetition more than anyone else. Their characteristics were equally expressed in virtual reality. * * * Arcadia Co., Ltd. presidents meeting. The meeting, which started in a cold and threatening atmosphere, continued to produce a situation resembling a hearing, and proceeded with fierce attacks against Executive Director Kwon Myung-han and President Lee Mi-yeon. [I have many doubts about the oue of the event. In events nned and led by Korea, Korea monopolizes most of the rewards. Don''t you have a reasonable doubt?] [This is data from analyzing the yers'' strength in this event. ording to this graph here, the average performance of Koreans is at least 23% higher than that of other countries. Do you have anything to say about this?] [Hidden ss... No, I doubt that the hidden content was nned too heavily on the Korean continent. Isn''t it necessary to conduct apany-wide audit to see if the difficulty level has been drastically lowered or if artificial information leakage is urring? Otherwise, how can such disproportionate statistical resultse out?] [If you look at this data here, you''ll know, but in the case of the Korean continent...] I won''t let you go this time. The branch managers who brought countless amounts of reports and data filled with venom and malice. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han broke into a cold sweat when the branch heads of each branch pointed out the problems of the Korean continent and this event on a scientific basis, item by item, as if they had made thorough preparations rather than just raising suspicions. Eh..... that''s... Even though it was a burn, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han felt tremendous pressure from dozens of branch managers looking at him. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was watching him, opened his mouth on behalf of managing director Myung-han Kwon. That''s because users in maind Korea pursued more diverse y. At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, the eyes that had been fixed on Executive Director Kwon Myung-han returned all at once. [What do you mean by that, boss?] [Various games...?] The branch managers of each continent ask back with puzzled faces as if they don''t understand President Lee Mi-yeon''s words. Lee Mi-yeon, president of thepany, began to tell them about an incident that had happened in the Korean continent in the past. For an unknown reason at the beginning of the Arcadia Korean continent, the abilities of the slimes near the beginner vige were abnormally adjusted. And soon, the first main scenario began, and slimes began to raid and attack the beginner vige. The first main scenario, Slime''s Wrath. An incident that created an unprecedented catastrophe, the destruction of a novice vige, as well as the culprit in which the Korean branch suffered a great deal of criticism. Seeing CEO Lee Mi-yeon mentioning the incident, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han put on a puzzled expression. And as a result, the base that forced beginners to start points waspletely destroyed, and since then, users on the Korean continent randomly scattered all over the continent and started ying. unlimited freedom. infinite possibilities. I didn''t know it at the time, but that small change brought about a tremendous butterfly effect and created a huge upheaval. [This is a town with a lot of thieves..... Do you want to be a thief too?] [Yes? What do you want to carve? Starlight? What kind of bullshit is that?] [Eh..... The only job you can change to is... a farmer? What kind of fucking town is there?] [Fucking hahahahahaha. I''m level 1, but all the monsters around me are 40. Did you make this to hunt now? You fucking gamepanies.] Viges all over the continent where beginners don''t care at all. Being trapped in a town dotted with powerful monsters and being forced into a production job, or walking in a different direction from his initial n in a town where a specific job is specialized. Amid numerous variables and changes, Korean users walked apletely different path from other continents. Vocational Diversity. And the belligerence of users. The most important.... The discovery rate of hidden contents is overwhelmingly high in Korea, which is iparable to any other continent. To make this easier for you to understand... Um... Alice. [I will design the data on the y patterns of Korean users as a timeline.] At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, Alice puts something on the big screen. After a while. As they watched a short timeline video appearing on the screen, silence erupted from the presidents'' mouths. [Huh.....] [Oh...?] Unlike other continents that start at the center or at a specific point and exhaust the hidden contents in a limited way, hidden contents are found and consumed simultaneously on all continents. . It was an element that could grow the fastest and gave it a uniqueness and strength that differentiated it from other users, so the amount of hidden content discovered by Korean users who started ying from all over the continent was overwhelming to a level that was iparable to other continents. [So.... Are you saying that the reason for this strength is that it is not limited to beginner viges, but that it is possible to start randomly from all over the continent?] Emily, the head of the US branch, asked . At those words, President Lee Mi-yeon nodded with a small smile. It''s not necessarily like that. The Korean continent, personally, is noisier and more chaotic than anywhere else, and it is full of tremendous pain and confusion for users... If I had to put it that way, it''s like a demon''s cave. Sir boss. [....?] [....?] Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon and the branch managers were taken aback by President Lee Mi-Yeon''s outspoken expression. But she wasn''t wrong. Slime invasion. The emergence of Argamers. witch hunt. continental war. Korea has already had several major events that have had an impact on users and the entire continent. Through these harsh and harsh trials, Korean users became stronger and stronger. [These fucking warlocks! We''ll see youter.] [You have to get stronger quickly if you don''t want to fall for those goddamn religious people again.] [Uuuuu! ck panties!] [Hunt! hunt! The level is the best!] [Uuuuuuuuuu! Let''s see who wins, you bastards!] Korean users are morebative than any other continent. When you see such enthusiastic y propensity. For President Lee Mi-yeon, the current results were unreasonable. Its a harsh world where you cant survive unless you be strong by hunting and adventuring with the determination to die. Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Signs Rising Arcadia unified into one. One huge continent boasting the size of the earth. Within it, billions of people were living in this virtual world as protagonists in different stories, enjoying adventures in their own way. They say they are recruiting mercenaries in the Cavell estate... What kind of hidden dungeon exploration are they talking about? Ummm..... A special item came in this time. Are you interested? Someone said they saw a mysterious blue bird flying over the mountain the other day. Could you do some research on this? Hehehehehe. help! anybody there? A world full of adventures and secrets, full of mysterious and deadly threats. There were many people who happened to get a special opportunity in it, but most of the content was just in and boring. what. Is this allpensation...? Lung Shao stares at the old man with a cold expression and who is clearly sick. As he looked at the few shiny silver and yellow coins in the old man''s hands, he asked in an annoyed tone. Im sorry. This is all I have... He lives in a dpidated dugout that looks like there is no ce for money toe out. Looking at the old man who offered a penny he couldn''t even save, he muttered with a distorted face as if he was pitiful. Sheesh. I did something special this time. It was trash after all. A quest I received by chance while passing through a refugee camp like Harlem. Normally, he would have just ignored it without snoring, but he epted the request just in case. [Sudden quest Get the herbs'' has been created.] The old man asks to find some rare herbs because his only granddaughter is in critical condition. I bought it at the auction house and gave it 2 gold, but the reward was only puny money. [Sessfully delivered the Root of the Red Sun.] [Surprise Quest Completed.] [Obtained 8 Silver and 23 Bronze.] [Derbin''s granddaughter''s illness has eased.] [Preceding value increased by 10.] [ Acquired 10 reputation.] A garbage quest that was worse than not doing it. It was a pity to waste time and money on such a quest, but it was none other than the rise in the number of good deeds that enraged Ryong more than that. Hey, you fucking old man. Do I look like a nice guy now? Whoops. With cold eyes, he raises his strength. The dark mana spewing out around him was threateningly threatening to take Dervin''s life right now. Heh warlock..... A warlock who follows the devil and brings blood and darkness, a being of death and fear. Realizing the identity of the young man who had helped him, Dervin banged his head on the floor with fearful eyes and shouted. Sorry. That''s all right now, but if Joe gives me a little time, I''ll somehow be satisfied... Derbin, shaking and trembling, begged for forgiveness. However, that could not bring his twisted nting back to its original state. I do not need. yes....? As if he was thinking of something else, he smiled viciously. He spoke to Derben in a cold voice. How much would it be worth to bring a bug like you as a reward anyway? I don''t need that penny. It would be better to lower the number of good deeds raised because of you and increase the bad karma. What do you mean by that... Derbin asked cautiously with trembling eyes as if he was not sure. In response to his question, Ryong chanted in a low voice with the mana of darkness raised to the fullest. The Corrupted Chloride. Roaring. manifestation of ck magic. At the same time, seeing the old dugout behind him burning with ck mes, Derbin screamed in fright and ran toward it. Oh, no. Ariel...! Ari... Derbin runs with his eyes wide open to save his only granddaughter who is lying in a dugout grunting. However, before he could even get close to the hut, he was struck by a dark sphere flying from behind him and copsed. Dont resent me too much. A ck me that aggressively devours a pit. Derbin, who was dying as he looked with despairing eyes at the mes that spread throughout the dugout and fiercely consumed everything, heard his muttering andughing in his ears. I have no feelings for you. It''s just that, for me, it''s far more profitable to raise your bad karma than to see your granddaughter get well. Those who think that there is no need to feel emotional satisfaction or pride in a mere game. To him, the situation between the two was just a setup without any inspiration. [Derbin''s family was murdered.] [Shocking cruelty. Everyone who seeks good despises you.] [The bad karma level rises by 100.] [The rted incident spreads throughout the slums of Saeil Vige.] [Satisfying certain conditions. The guards do not pursue the yer.] Hmm.... As expected. This is why slums are good for raising bad karma. He smiles deeply as he checks the status window that has popped up in front of him. He muttered with a satisfied smile. Numerous crimes taking ce in the town. Among them, killing an NPC was one of the most severe crimes. [If you kill a resident of Arcadia without any reason, you will be sentenced to imprisonment for at least 30 days.] Unless it was self-defense, it was a heinous act that had to suffer enormous damage from the attack of the guards. That''s why it was a crazy thing that no one would try, but even so, those with dark jobs sometimes turned into killers without asking. - Tips for raising bad karma. kill and bounce How to avoid guards. -Indiscriminate PK or NPC killing is the best. Try sneaking it at night. -How to raise the bad karma level by more than 1000 at once. A bad karma value that is always required to carry out important quests or wear high-ranking items among brutal and brutal people such as ck magicians and dark knights. Even from Satan''s point of view, it was only possible to climb the mountain bymitting an heinous act to the point where the words Ah... this is a bit...'' woulde out naturally, so they struggled and struggled to do bad things even if they were forced to do so. - Killing NPCs is a double-edged sword. You can quickly raise bad karma, but if you do too much, you will never set foot in that territory or country again. be careful. -I was caught trying to hide, but I was sentenced to 4 years in prison. what about this...? Are you really X? -??? How the hell did you kill so much that you got it like that? -There should be no witnesses or eyewitnesses, so I just destroyed a vige. -??? Killing an NPC with a huge penalty. But Ryong had already killed dozens... no, hundreds of Arcadia''s residents. without incurring any penalty. A slum where people of unknown status who do not pay taxes live. Living in a dpidated dugout and leading a bottomless life, they were abandoned people who did not even care about the guards who resided in each vige. By killing them, Ryong came to realize a certain hidden condition quite by ident. That the guards wouldn''t even move their heavy hips enough to kill a few outcasts living in the slums if they didn''t cross a certain level. Hehehehehe... Although it''s virtual, this kind of experience isn''t bad either. A crime against humanity that would never be possible in real life. However, the idea of fiction in the virtual paralyzed his morality, giving him the feeling of ying GTA and making him perceive it as a game. He smiled sincerely, enjoying the feelings of depravity and deviation that strangely boiled in his heart. And at that moment..... A message suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. [Your story of ughtering hundreds of innocent people goes back and forth between the slums.] [Children stay awake at your story, and adults look out the window, afraid of your unexpected visit.] [Title slums'' Nightmare'' has been obtained.] [The bad karma level rises by 3500.] Huh...? Totally unexpected ie. The fact that he had obtained a title as well as a huge amount of bad karma that he had to kill dozens more people, his eyes shed as if he was surprised, but that wasn''t all. [In the mire of despair andmentation. You hear a whisper calling you from the depths.] [All specific conditions have been met.] [You have obtained the quest Whisper of Darkness''.] [Please check the rted information.] The quest...? Quest created suddenly. Until now, he had never experienced a situation like this before, so his face was full of doubt as he opened the quest window. Go to the ce where the whispers are heard...? Quests with vague poetic expressions and almost enigmatic phrases telling you to go somewhere. In addition, there was no sound in his ears, so his face was full of confusion as he opened the quest window and carefully examined its contents two or three times. I don''t know what this is... but I''ll have to look into it... I''m not sure, but I instinctively feel that it''s worth investigating. He closed the connection to find Arfandia, the treasure trove of all knowledge and information. log out. He disappeared without a trace with a short starter word. In the ce where he was, only the same silence as before lingered. A dugout that had turned to ashes without a trace. Looking at the burning nest with despairing eyes, he couldn''t even close his eyes, leaving only the gray corpse of Dervin, who had died unjustly. Passsss. And the corpse and the dugout soon disappeared, turning into dust in an instant. As if it wasn''t even there in the first ce. without leaving a trace. forever. * * * Demon world. A fierce and heartless world where only the strong survive and only the vicious and vicious are valued, it is the Arcadia Hell ruled by Satan, the lord of all the fallen. [Kieeh!] Kuung. cooong. [Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!] A ce full of gigantic-sized monsters and bizarre-looking monsters that will make you lose your appetite for three days just by looking at them. This atrocious environment full of fire and brimstone was always a world full of chaos and destruction, but even within it, systems andws existed in their own way. [Interesting...] The corpsmander in charge of the Pandemonium''s 2nd corps. Nargal, Lord of ughter. He had great interest and curiosity about a series of events and changes that had recently urred, and all his senses were focused on what was happening far away on the continent of Arcadia. [This is how the dimensional wall with Middle Earth is getting thinner. This is the first time since the Holy Demon War.] In the past, Nargal fought a fierce battle with Heaven and fought a fierce war to upy Middle Earth. However, after realizing that the dimensional wall, which had be so strong that he could not even interfere with his line after that war, had recently weakened tremendously, he used all his subordinates and subordinates under his control to carefully monitor the situation on the continent of Arcadia. Observed carefully. [The world tree awakened again. And it''s a middle ground united into one...] He didn''t just rise to the position of corpsmander. The corpsmander''s time umted over an eternity of time. And the actions of his great monarch, who recently vacated his meeting and did not show his face, awakened the demonic instincttent in Nargal''s heart. [The time hase... My people.] Therefore, he repeatedly spread the message to all possible fallen ones. [Reopen the Hell Gate dormant in the middle world.] The most important cause of the Great War of the Holy Spirit in the past and the points that were hidden all over the continent. He muttered with a strange expression on his face as if he was imagining his longing for a dream. [The moment the door connecting the demon world and the middle world opens wide again...] [Arcadia will once again worship the great dark lord and kneel before the greatness of hell.] Chapter 260 Chapter 260 Awakening Lunch The Scorching Sun. Shumil, the desert of death where a wide sandy desert spreads out. Designated as one of the 5 forbidden areas in the past and not visited by users, this ce has now be a famous spot where numerous users and NPC merchantse and go. We will take care of custom-made dwarf hand-made equipment. For those who are busy hunting, we will deliver quickly, so please use our macaron top! It is a trustworthy team that signed a direct contract with the pie troupe! Have you all gathered? The high-speed bus is leaving! Sands of Forge, an underground city of dwarves located deep underground in Shumil. The excellent armor and weapons made by the dwarf n, who are said to have been blessed by the gods for their dexterity, fascinated countless merchants and swordsmen, and those who dreamed of bing cksmiths always anxiously sought to learn the secrets of the dwarves'' secret production methods. Caang. Caang. The sound of hammering resonated throughout the city as if the saying that they were always born to make something was no joke. Miners also mining minerals in mines. As well as members of the hammer unit in charge of public order in the city. A city of prodigious production, where even the janitors in charge of the city''s administration and the merchants selling groceries in the shops are crafters and artisans who can pick up a hammer and forge excellent weapons. The enormous arms made here were sold all over the continent and their reputation was increasing, but among them, the equipment made in Hellion''s workshop was treated as a luxury item among luxury goods and boasted an enormous price. Hey asshole. A guest has arrived. I think you''re the one at the top of the pie? Caang. Caang. Roaring. The stifling heat. Jung-sik continues to hit the hammer without breaking a drop of sweat despite the heat emanating from the super-high temperature furnace. The senior dwarf, who was serving lunch, muttered with an expression of boredom, watching him show great concentration and devote himself to making equipment. Ugh. that damn bastard How many days have you been doing that? He doesn''t eat, doesn''t sleep, and hits the hammer without stopping even once. Once he started production, he became terrifyingly immersed in it. Even among the dwarves, he was famous for his enormous poisonous species, so the senior dwarf nced at the luncheon and then turned around. Anyway, I told you. Just say you haven''t heard it likest time! Really don''t let go! A senior dwarf who delivers a message with a loud voice saying that he will try to ovee the loud hammer sound of lunch, and then goes somewhere. But the Chinese didn''t hear a word of it. It''s not enough.....'' The World''s First Martial Arts Competition. Joong-sik, who was guided by Jae-young''s words and unknowingly participated in thepetition,peted with numerous users in the production ss. There would be no particr difficulties at the basic level, but in order to make something a little better and of better quality, in reality... no, it required more skill and expertise, so the age of those who participated in the production sspetition was higher than expected. Hmm... Its not the same event, but please take good care of me. Because he''s a cksmith... he looks young, but he''s walking a really tough road. Heh heh..... To pick up a hammer at such a young age. You are a very rare young man. Arcadia''s crafting system requires almost the same level of expertise as reality. Therefore, in reality, most of the experts who make this a business participated, but even within it, lunch was better than expected. [Deer meat Wellington with honey added.] [Overall score 92.2 points.] [Iron armor gauntlets with des attached.] [Overall score 93.9 points.] [yer flying hands. Victory.] [Achieved 100 consecutive wins.] [Acquired the right to advance to the finals!] Hohoho..... I lost. That''s amazing. A beautiful chef who was thest opponent in the preliminary round. Chinese food even beat the best experts, who are the owners of famous restaurants abroad and winners of world-ss culinarypetitions. He said with a puzzled face to Raimi Gordon, who congratted him as if he couldn''t believe his skills. Oh no. I''mcking for a long time..... Jung-shik, who never imagined that he would beat such a celebrity. That''s why he felt sorry for Reimi, who seemed to have been eliminated because of him, and muttered something embarrassing. Does that mean... that I am worse than an amateur who is far fromcking? Cooking and cksmithing were different fields in which it was impossible to distinguish between superiority and inferiority, but Reimi was defeated by Chinese food ording to the judgment of Alice, a fair and wless artificial intelligence. She asked him with a mischievous face even though she knew that this was not the intention of the luncheon. Oh no! That''s not what I meant... However, as if he was even more flustered by his mischievous question, Joong-shik stuttered and tried to exin. Reimi smiled at him and said. I can see how young and inexperienced you are. But... dont be too low on yourself. Whoops. After the match, Reimi is enveloped in light as if she is automatically returned to her original location. She disappeared after leaving a word of support at the end. The Mr. I saw during the game. Because Ttongson was full of passion and had the image of a decent craftsman with excellent skills. In this way, Jungsik was recognized for his skills by experts and yed an active role. This was the final report card he received at the World''s First Martial Arts Competition. [Second seat in the World''s Best Martial Arts Competition.] Unfortunately, the tournament ended with 2nd ce. It was an undeserved result for Jung-sik, whocked technical skills and experience, but strangely, he began to feel an unknown thirst for the result. I shouldn''t be criticized this time.'' How can I please the dwarves?'' Why... why doesn''t the rank go up? What should I make with the special ingredients?'' Jung-shik was concentrating on production while contemting raising his skill rank and gaining recognition among the dwarves and avoiding criticism. But after participating in the World''s First Martial Arts Competition. He started pounding the hammer with apletely different mindset. I want to make better works.'' pounding. I want to make a stronger weapon.'' Caang. I want to make something more outstanding.'' Roaring. My own work that no one dares to imitate.'' His will to create endlessly arises from his intense desire. The sound of a madly beating heart and the clear sound of a hammer resonating throughout the studio. In the huge blue me that heats up the metal, Joong-sik worked hard on the production as if possessed. Woo woo woo. The divinity that permeates him unconsciously. The power of existence, which existed from the beginning but has now lost its power and has been corrupted by vainglory, began to respond to Joong-shik''s hot and pure desire and tenacity. Hey... you shit! Stop working... this is...! Papa, quickly call Baron. hurry! Caang. Caang. A n of dwarves who are said to have been blessed by God. Those who once prospered on the entire continent of Arcadia were slowly declining at some point. Due to the plunder and invasion of greedy and greedy heterogeneous tribes. Ever since the ever-burning eternal fire they believed in and worshiped had gone out. Those who were scattered all over the continent and slowly walked the path of destruction. So Baron, a master cksmith who leads Hellion''s workshop and a member of the Senate who leads the Sands of Forge, was stunned by the blue mes rising in front of his eyes and the gigantic divinity and halo rising from the body of a foolish human. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, this can be progressed, this baron cant believe it. He seemed to be crying but smiling with great joy. Realizing that there were a huge number of dwarves huddled around him, he said to one of the young dwarves. My child, go quickly and let everyone know. yes? What do you mean? A child with a puzzled expression, blinking his bright eyes and tilting his head. Baron spoke with a trembling voice to the young Dwarf with a face full of curiosity, as if he did not know what was happening in front of his eyes. A great man who gifted this continent with unquenchable fire and unbreakable iron a long time ago. Our teacher and our father, who created countless divine weapons and taught all the dwarf ns of Arcadia about everything that can be created through hammers... the resurrection of Lord Vulcanus. Like that, all the Dwarves of Sand of Forge gathered in Hellion''s workshop. I threw away everything I had just been doing and sat quietly, not breathing in a daze, just watching. The moment of the first miracle taking ce in front of one''s own eyes. How long has it been? The moment when Jung-shik stopped hammering and looked down at the finished product he had created. Countless messages began to float before his eyes. [The power of divinity dwells in your tenacity with your soul.] [The level of the product far exceeds the limits of the ss of the material.] [ The item''s grade is re-adjusted.] [Legendary achievement. A legendary item has been produced.] [Weapon crafting proficiency greatly increases.] [Title effect activated. Proficiency increases by 2 times.] [Weapon crafting skill increases by 1 rank.] [The oldest fire chose you as the first hammer.] [Rted quest Traces of the Deleted God'' is changed.] [ Please check the contents of the quest.] [The title Legendary Arms Maker'' has been obtained.] [The title The Dwarf''s Respected Person'' has been obtained.] [The title Wanderer seeking traces of mythology'' has been obtained.] Crafting of the first legendary item. Joong-sik smiled with satisfaction at the achievement, but what was even more joyful was that the oldest godhead, who had been watching him since he was a ve in the mine, finally made a decision. Vulcan, the god of fire and steel. Jung-sik finally realized that it was time to leave this workshop as he saw the quest that was presumed to have been given directly by the hidden mythical being in the game, who was responsible for turning his cksmith hammer into a sacred god. [Resurrection of an erased divinity of quests] The divinity of the past degenerated into hypocrisy. Find thest remaining ruins that are dormant somewhere in the northern part of the continent and reawaken the fallen deity there. Exalt his prestige to all as his apostle across the continent. For Vulcan, the god of fire and steel and all cksmiths. - Discovery of ruins with traces of Vulcan. (0/1) A quest of immense difficulty that is too abstract andcks clues. It was expected that the journey would be difficult at first nce, but I wasn''t worried or afraid at all about lunch. Rather, he smiled, enjoying the beating of his heart pounding with anticipation. Finally... The moment Jaeyoung said. Jung-shik instinctively felt that the day hade for him to leave this ce and go on an adventure to a wider world. . Elder...? No, why are you all gathered here...? Chinese food asked with a face that didn''t notice at all. However, at his question, the Dwarves mmed their chests with their fists and shouted as if they had made a promise. Raise your hammer, dwarves with sad short legs and ugly faces. cooong. Those who hit their chests with their fists as if they were in great pain. But their faces were full of joy rather than pain. Has your god given you hands that are more beautiful and outstanding than anyone else? cooong. The cries of the dwarves shouting as if they were united. General users who did not know the situation tilted their heads at the slogans of those shouting on the street with puzzled faces, but they did not care and shouted like crazy. Hear a toast. all the dwarves The birth of the first hammer of our god. Worship all you dwarves. Resurrection of our god! The dwarves suddenly started holding beer mugs here and there, drinking in broad daylight and holding a festival. Like that, they stayed up for days and nights drinking and celebrating. The main god of the dwarves. The signal re announcing the resurrection of Vulcan was finally shot high into the sky. Chapter 261 Chapter 261 Beginning of ss! It''s been a year since Arcadia revealed itself to the world. Jaeyoung, who had just be a sophomore, stood nkly in front of the school with a face of disbelief. Huh..... I can''t believe it''s already started..... The two months passed by in an instant, as if I had been in a time machine. But looking back, a lot happened during that time. He stole his precious Dragon Bone andpletely destroyed the Empire and the GM Merchant. The World Tree yed a huge role in integrating the entire continent into one. Furthermore, even to save one unfortunate and pitiful soul. Looking back, it was a vacation full of things to be proud of (?), but even so, a feeling of regret surged up in Jaeyoung''s heart. It''s fun... but this is definitely too dangerous... Arcadia, a virtual reality that boasts a sense of reality so great that you can''t distinguish it from reality. That is why Jaeyoung was able to realize that he waspletely entangled in the immersion and addiction that cannot bepared to any other game until the first day of the semester. This means that the amount of time he lived in his present life during this vacation was very small. No matter how important things are in the game... this is a bit serious... isn''t it so addictive that it''s iparable to other games? Jaeyoung spent his days as an exemry game junkie. Of course, the aftermath was enormous enough to be called a gamer in general, but Jaeyoung walked into the campus feeling a strange contradictory feeling that he shouldn''t spend his 20-year-old flowery youth like this. During the semester... I should do a little less... With a little bit of human determination. * * * Huh? Jaeyoung! It''s been a while since you. I know. how have you been doing? No contact during vacation. I didn''t get along very well, but I still knew my ssmates. He was not very popr, but he was Jae-young, one of the prominent celebrities among his ssmates, so when he entered the ssroom, curious eyes were sent here and there. ah. I went down to my hometown and came back. I wasnt in Seoul the entire vacation period. ah. I see? Still, freshman OTse! It was so much fun... Jaeyoung, who was known to live in a secluded country where only one bus came every two hours. In response to his answer, the motives said one word at a time as if they were sorry. Then, as if they lost interest, they turned their heads and started chatting with each other. Jaeyoung noticed Jaekyun waving his hand from far behind and went to sit next to him. How have you been during vacation? Jae-kyun, whom he only met once in a game. It was a formal question because he didn''t even have time to ask how he was doing during the vacation, but Jaeyoung soon regretted his hasty action. then! I was dying a lot. Jae-kyun, who seemed to have no one to brag about, started talking like a fish in water. Without stopping even for a second, they started talking about what happened during this vacation. You know the design team we worked for? In addition, because of the legendary league we created, there must have been a barrage of proposals from all over the world to promote arge-scale project together. So they contacted me about the matter. Ask for help in the form of technical advice for things that are time-sensitive or difficult to implement. Jae-gyun is still a college student. At heart, the design team is like a chimney, wanting to forcefully join Arcadia Co., Ltd. and treat it harshly as an employee. However, because of Jae-gyun, who has a strange belief (?) that he will graduate from college even if an annual sry of 100 million won is offered, they have no choice but to resort to other tricks as ast resort. So... you were called in every now and then like a frencer and helped with a project...? huh! It was so much fun. But I''m sure Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s welfare for its employees is incredibly good. I went on a business trip to the US once, and all of them were given first ss seats on the ne and the hotel was of the highest quality! The food was also incredibly delicious! The one who sshes saliva and makes a lot of noise with an excited face. In response to Jaegyun''s story, Jaeyoung asked without thinking. So... what did you do when you went all the way to America? uh....? USA....? Uh... that''s... nothing. Jae-kyun suddenly blurted out his words and panicked. Jaeyoung, who was suspicious of his answer that it was nothing, asked again with a strange expression. What are you so upset about? Like a puppy that wants to poop. Oh no. What did I panic about..... Jae-Kyun, who tried to deny it, giving off a suspicious look at those words. At his words, Jaeyoung questioned him again. I wont spread it anywhere, so tell me. What on earth did you do when you went all the way to America? Until recently, Jae-kyun had been impatient because he couldn''t talk about what he had done during vacation. When he suddenly shut his mouth, Jaeyoung felt a strange curiosity. And in response to his question, Jaekyun carefully whispered in Jaeyoung''s ear, looking around the extension. This is the real secret. I can''t tell you where to go I''m really in big trouble... Jae-gyun keeps raising useless expectations. The moment you try to get annoyed by his ludicrous behavior. Jaeyoung shut his mouth at the unbelievable story that flowed out of his mouth. I came to participate in a project jointly promoted by the US and Korean Ministry of Defense. what....? Jaekyun nodded his head with a spleen face as if what he said was true. Jaeyoung looked at his face as if asking, Am I crazy?'' Damn it. ah! why! Is it real? Seeing Jae-young''s face filled with disbelief, Jae-gyun shouts as if he is wronged. However, Jaeyoung dismissed his words as bullshit in a very firm tone. Even if you y Gura, you have to y it usibly. How do you get involved in a secret project between the US and South Korean Defense Ministry? Don''t you think that''s the kind of ce where neighbors go to drink? And that to you, a foreigner and just a college student? The story of Jae-gyun, who crossed the line too much. It was a story to the point that no matter who heard it, it would be dismissed as the level of delusion of a terminally ill patient, so Jae-young answered Jae-gyun, who was making a sad face all over the world. I dont believe you man. You have to bluff in moderation. How much MSG did you hit? Thats... No, its real. How hard I work there... However, at that moment, Professor Kim Tae-hoon burst through the ssroom door, and Jae-gyun had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. For the first time, he felt sorry for his friend''s reaction, as if he didn''t believe his words at all. * * * United States Department of Defense. The Pentagon, the generalmand center that oversees the military and security affairs of the United States and oversees the entire U.S. Army. This huge building, where tens of thousands of civil servants and military officers work, was busy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, carrying out thousands... tens of thousands of ssified information, military operations, and secret projects. Report your progress, Anderson. A secret meeting room located deep in the basement of the Pentagon. Those who sat in this meeting, which was convened in top secret, had a position that no one could match. A situation where generals of all armies, regardless of army, navy, and air force, are sitting with cold-eyed eyes, shining stars on their ranks. Anderson, who was staring at them all in one body, felt a cold sweat running down his back and held on tightly to the spirit that was about to leave. If I mess up this briefing, I''ll get it right to the director.'' Anderson is a Senior Research Fellow at the Pentagon''s Defense Advanced Research Project Agency. He never dreamed that a project he had conceived and proposed without much thought would be discussed so seriously, so he opened his mouth after holding on to his madly beating heart. First, I will exin the project War-game proposed by the Military Doctrine Development Bureau. The war game being developed by our department aims to implement a real-time battlefield based on virtual reality, and through this, it aims to enable soldiers to experience more realistic and realistic battles. So... The Secret Project Wargame. Concepts and merits for that project in one hour. And Anderson, who gives detailed and detailed presentations on anticipated issues and development progress. After finishing the presentation he had prepared, burning his soul, he said with a slightly relieved face. That is all. ..... The presentation was over, but the meeting room fell into silence. The generals were immersed in their own thoughts as they looked at the report in front of them with serious faces. And then, one person opened his mouth. The realization of a real battlefield based on virtual reality... To what level is it possible? The realization level is aimed at realizing all five senses. With Arcadia''s technical support, aiming at the same highest level of implementation as Arcadia... The army general asked again about what he had said in the presentation earlier. Anderson tried to answer calmly, but the general cut off Anderson as if he hadn''t asked. That is not my question. The pain of the injuries soldiers suffer as they battle through this virtual battlefield. And furthermore, can you make them feel the fear of death? Those who want to implement the battlefield at the same level as the real one. However, Anderson looked embarrassed by the question, but soon replied in a calm tone. That is impossible. Arcadia Co., Ltd. has set safety limits for extreme shocks in consideration of the user''s physical and mental damage and side effects. It can make you feel pain, but it''s likely to be insignificant, 1-10% of those injuries. That means... no matter how realistic the battlefield looks, it''s just a game, a kid''s joke. The army generalughed at those words with a mocking smile. He looked at Anderson with pitiful eyes and sneered as if scolding him. Technical support from Arcadia? Impossible due to setting of safety limit? Is this the only level of DARPA where the best brains and talents are gathered? I wonder if this, like a children''s toy, will really help the future of the US Army because they couldn''t solve any safety limit settings they put on it and couldn''t even develop it independently, so they made it with technical support. ..... Lieutenant General Bayne of the US Army who has lived in the field for decades. To him, this virtual battlefield was nothing more than an insult to the soldiers fighting between life and death on a fierce battlefield on the other side of the globe. But not everyone thought that way. I have a different opinion. In the case of the Air Force, it would be more efficient and superior training if it could implement realisticbat equipment and implement various battlefield situations through it to engage inbat. As little as hundreds of billions of fighters. Unlike the Army, each piece of equipment boasted an enormous amount of money, so for the Air Force, who felt a great burden in training even once, the project Anderson presented was like a raindrop from a drought. The air force general, who was flipping through the report, recalling the numerous difficulties that could be solved through this virtual battlefield, asked with suspicion that he could not understand the part written on one side of the report. By the way... why did you decide to do this project jointly with the Korean military? And... Why are civilians involved in this ssified project? The data in the report says that it is a private contractor... Ah, there was a realistic situation that I couldn''t help with that part. Apparently, the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. shows overwhelmingpetence in virtual reality development, so I sought business cooperation there, and the Korean Ministry of National Defense also pushed a spoon when they heard the news. A practitioner from the Pentagon speaking on behalf of Anderson to the question. He replied with a frown on his face as if he was annoyed just thinking about it. I also objected to the private service because of the risk of leaking confidential information... However, the Korean team at Arcadia Co., Ltd. also stubbornly demanded that the person in question participate. They say they can''t implement it on their own. First of all, it was a matter approved by the White House, so I had no choice but to allow it, but I also strictly requested the Korean government to maintain confidentiality. Hearing his words admitting that he did not like that part, all the military generals gathered in the conference room turned their eyes to the part where the personal information was written and flipped through the extension report. That much... Are you a specialist in this field? Who is this friend? An oriental looking man. At first nce, everyone was stunned by his appearance as an out sider'' who only lives on aputer, but they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut while looking at Anderson with a serious face. I can vouch for that. From what I have seen while pursuing this project.... He is one of the talented people with overwhelming capabilities in realizing virtual reality than anyone else. Lim Jae-gyun is expanding into the world. After all, he really was the forerunner of all real things''. Chapter 262 Chapter 262 The secret to sess Amon people''s university caused a stir by creating the first virtual reality engineering department. At first, he experienced great conflicts and difficulties amid enormous controversy and ridicule, but when he began to show results with full support by forming a practical industry-university cooperation with Arcadia Co., Ltd., he became a so-called prestigious school with a long history and tradition. Even famous universities rushed to enter rted departments. - Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, which is newly established in each university. flying controversy. -Virtual reality engineering, promising future department. Which school is the most professional? - Deepening concerns of academy students and examinees. Strategic application support is important. Hundreds of universities are changing the virtual reality engineering department one after another. The students of the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University, who opened the first fire, felt a strange sense of pressure and shame when they saw the newly admitted students. Hello, senior. Ugh... yes. hi. Have you had lunch, sir? Seniors! Please buy us food! yes? Exactly 89 freshmen newly entered the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. However, each of them boasted extraordinary specs and were so talented that it was difficult to even dare to attach them. Ha..... Why am I so afraid of neers? Don''t even talk..... The other day we were talking while eating..... It was really... awful. Ugh... is this normal? Is this normal! Since the industrial-university cooperation with Arcadia was signed, the number of people''s universities has increased tremendously. As a result, those who entered with confidence by forming an unprecedented and phenomenal passing line that was equivalent to the so-called SKY medical school level were the so-called elite of the elite. Senior, I read a thesis on virtual reality this time... That senior, is there any research club in the undergraduate school? Sir, I have a question for you. Did you listen to Professor Taehoon Kims lecturest year? More militant than anyone else, the freshmen are burning with a passion for learning. As if they were burning with passion and determination to learn everything about virtual reality, there were not many answers that the sophomores who had just entered the school without much thought and went around cursing at Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s harsh and merciless curriculum. Other newbies just say lets have a drink! What about while drinking? When we get to know each other, we y games! Kick the ball together! They say they date, but why are we newbies like this! Yeah..... It was weird from the time I kept talking about thesis when I was a freshman at OT, but..... Crazy guys who bring up thesis even at drinking parties. If it was just one or two people, it would be a problem that would be dismissed as an entric, but the problem that is happening in this department is far beyond that level. How can all these crazy people get together? Asking to buy these meals doesn''t just mean you want to eat with your seniors, but it''s like an underhand job to extract information? Professor Taehoon Kim even asked me about my favorite food. A situation where all 89 freshmen are full of crazy people with almost simr tendencies. They screamed in an iprehensible situation, but soon realized the reason and became frustrated. ah. It could be because of Professor Taehoon Kim. The words of a university assistant who overheard their screams. yes....? Professor Kim Tae-hoon carefully selected and selected the new students while reviewing the applications one by one untilte at night and conducting interviews. Department of Virtual Reality Engineering... No, Professor Kim Tae-Hoon, who has acquired an enormous right to speak and influence over the entire university of themon people. There was no reason to oppose his tenacity to select the best future talents to lead Seomin University, so Professor Kim Tae-hoon selected these freshmen with all his heart. And the result was a dream-like talent for Professor Kim Tae-hoon, but it was literally a nightmare for the sophomores who were waiting for new students with high expectations. Oh, no! professor! What if I only pick up crazy people like that! yes....? Ha..... Really, this damn university. There is no such thing as normal. Those who imagined campus life with green and fresh neers. However, contrary to their expectations, these freshmen were monsters with an intellectual level that could not be met by all. Those who seem to have dozens of snakes in their stomachs. Haa..... Fuck you..... Shall I go to the army... Damn it... These were ordinary sophomores of the Virtual Reality Engineering Department who sighed deeply today. * * * Lim Jae-kyun, a sophomore in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University. With a height of 171cm and a weight of nearly 90kg, he always wears triple-sized clothes and, of course, does not attract people''s attention. Ugh... the absolute worst! Dont talk to me... its really creepy... The same ssmates who looked at themselves with eyes full of contempt and disgust until high school. Jae-gyun, who was always alienated and bullied amidst their bullying, felt embarrassed by the people flocking around him. percussion. ...? Cafeteria on campus. Jaekyun, who sat down to eat there, blinked his eyes in bewilderment at the group of pretty girls sitting down in front of him, naturally putting down the te. hello! Seniors! Who who...? Girls who don''t even have a one-on-one look know if they know themselves, starting with greetings. Jaekyun asked with a puzzled face at their reaction, and a cute-looking female student sitting in the middle answered. We are freshmen who have just entered the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. Are you Lim Jae-kyun senior? Thats right, but... Kyaaa! We are real fans! that''s right. Why didn''t youe to the freshman orientationst time? I was really looking forward to it! I heard that Arcadia even came with a special job offer? You are so amazing! A new student orientation that has no meaning other than drinking and cheering up the seniors. There was a different purpose for these freshmen, who were far from ordinary, carefully selected by Professor Kim Tae-hun, who obediently attended such a trivial event without saying anything. [Mr. We will keep an eye on his random growth in the future.] The pride of the University of the Commonwealth and the official top talent of the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, which has been talked about by foreign celebrities, including Arcadia Co., Ltd. Jaekyun Lim. His limitless imagination and his works based on it. And the fact that he was receiving a persistent love call from Arcadia Co., Ltd., a world-sspany, was nothing short of unbearable plump prey for these predatory freshmen. That''s... that''s why... Jae-kyun, who doesn''t have much experience surrounded by girls his age. Just as he was about to fall for the envying nces from all of them, there was one person sitting next to him, putting down the te. what? Who are these people? ah. I''m here....? Jae-kyun sends a look of salvation as if asking for help. Jaeyoung, who read his eyes, turned his head and looked at the three girls with sparkling eyes. Are you a freshman...? yes! Hello senior. My name is Narae Park, who entered the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering this time. A freshman who introduces himself with a bright smile. However, Jaeyoung sensed a cold energy in her eyes. How dare you interrupt our first greeting?'' Three female students who seem to be looking at themselves as a kind of obstruction. Jaeyoung did not avoid the eyes of these bold new students who were smiling but ring at him with cold eyes. Greetings This is my friend Jaeyoung Yoon. I am your senior. Jae-gyun introduces Jae-young with an awkward face, whether he knows such an atmosphere or not. At his words, the three of them put on a puzzled expression for a moment, then smiled and said as if they were like that when. oh! You were the senior I only heard about! Oh hello! nice to meet you! A quick stance change that Udyr is about to cry. Jae-young was puzzled by their unknown change in attitude, but he soon found out the reason. I heard that you have an amazing synchro rate? I heard that there are no more than 90% of people in this world..... You are really amazing! Is there any other way to increase the synchro rate? Seniors? yes? These bold neers praise them for being great and secretly ask for the secret to high synchro rates. Jaeyoungughed inwardly at their shallow tricks. This won..... I heard that this freshman is not joking... That''s why he said directly to the three of them who were looking at him with their round eyes shining. Your question is wrong. yes....? What do you mean? Seniors. Picking up the sausage from his studies and munching on it, Jaeyoung pointed with chopsticks at the freshmen who asked with faces that did not understand what he was saying and said. Isnt it important to ask how you can get a job at Arcadia Co., Ltd.? Arcadia Co., Ltd. has an independent right to select promising talents as special recruiting schrship students ording to the industry-academia cooperation signed with Seomin University. However, out of numerous virtual reality engineering students, only one was selected as a special recruitment schrship student at Arcadia Co., Ltd., and only two students in all grades had experience working as interns. Jaekyun Lim. and Jaeyoung Yoon. Jae-young and Jae-gyun, who started to walk unrivaledly in their first year, standing out from the outstanding seniors in the 3rd and 4th grade. For those who are the elite among the elite who entered Arcadia Co., Ltd. with the goal of being hired, it was only natural that they would be selected as the first to get close and circle around them. Of course, it was not Jae-young who would be happy to approach with such a deep purpose. That''s... The three of them are embarrassed because they are urately stabbed. It was true, but it was too obvious to admit it, so it was a fast-paced rush that made it hard to even say that. That''s why they tried to say something to Jaeyoung''s words, but kept their mouths shut. no? or sorry I was just going to tell you guys... Jaeyoung smiles and puts down the spoon. In the meantime, when he picked up the cleanly emptied te and tried to stand up, Narae, a freshman in the middle, grabbed him with a puzzled face. Wait a minute, sir. huh? Why do you have anything more to say? We have ss, so we have to get up now. Jaeyoung nces at Jaekyun while checking the time. Only then did Narae see Jae-gyun get up, and Narae cried out in a loud voice without realizing it. Im curious about the secret to joining Arcadia, senior! silence. In the middle of the cafeteria, a freshman full of ambition shouted at Jaeyoung and Jaekyun, who suddenly left in a loud voice. At that question, the eyes of everyone who was eating were fixed on one ce. Hey, who is that girl? It''s the first time I''ve seen this face... aren''t you a freshman? Joined Arcadia Co., Ltd.? Do you have any tricks like that? Narae looked at Jaeyoung, who stood tall with a really serious face, in the midst of the whispers and hums directed at him, and asked again. Did you ask me directly? Then I''ll ask you very straightforwardly. How can I stand out at Arcadia Co., Ltd. and be selected as a schrship student or intern? And as a freshman, he surpassed all other seniors. The freshman''s eyes are burning with passion. Jaeyoung smiled and said, seeing her who seemed full of will to take the schrship student''s seat, no matter who herpetitors were. You just have to y the game well. yes....? Or maybe you dont have any friends. What is that... All right? Its the secret, so write it down carefully. Jae-young and Jae-kyun left after throwing iprehensible words. Jae-Young, who gave me the secret with only the perfect facts. Thanks to that, a strange rumor spread among the freshmen of Seomin University. The strange rumor (?) that Arcadia Co., Ltd. gives recruitment bonus points to game junkies and real'' yers. Chapter 263 Chapter 263 The Pandemonium is Tough! Satan, the ruler of the underworld and the lord of all fallen ones. As the leader of the beings of darkness, which are the symbol and source of evil, Tan holds a small wish (?) to stain the world of Arcadia with blood and darkness. He clung to Jaeyoung''s side, always looking for that opportunity. Ha... Damn the owner''s child. These days, youre wasting a lot of probability on nonsense. Tan was very dissatisfied with Jaeyoung''s behavior these days. He has recently earned a lot of probabilities. However, through that probability, instead of contributing to the survival of the demon realm by strengthening himself, he kept wasting it meaninglessly in strange ces, so from the standpoint of watching it quietly, his stomach hurt just looking at it. Why are you giving that damn adventurer so much? No, more than that, why are you allowing me to bring out the miracle of a goddamn sapling that wasnt even allowed? A world tree that has great divinity and influence, but is not allowed to use special magic. It was a bnce that was carefully adjusted ording to his father''s will to bnce the power, but this damn owner just overturned the game as if he didn''t know anything about it. Huh..... It''s not good... If we go out like this, we''re really going to break the rules... In this Arcadia, there are numerous factions that are eager to exert their influence. did. celestial world. devildom. spirit realm. fantasy world. The beings fighting fiercely behind the scenes to increase their influence and somehow gain the upper hand in Arcadia. However, among these four dimensions, the Demon World has maintained its second ce. While that sapling was asleep, the influence of those bastard animals and elemental cubs was reduced as much as possible.... The world tree is directly in charge of channeling, so the illusion world and the spirit world are very closely rted to her. As the World Tree went to rest after the Holy Demon War, the only entrance to Arcadia for them was almost closed, so there was no need to worry about Tan until now. They shrank like deted balloons, but they put the respirators back on like this...? It was a confrontational structure that was no different from a two-sided battle between the heavens and the demons. However, due to Jaeyoung, theposition began to distort little by little. [If you twist it, you will be a Elementalist.] This time, he preached the greatness of the Elementalist in front of countless adventurers. And starting from that day, Tan sensed anomaliesing from countless demons and small creatures spread across the entire continent of Arcadia. [Elf ? Do you get job change quests from the elves?] [You have to be handsome first? What do you mean?] [Spirit! Spirits!] [Druids look really strong too..... How can I do that?] The movement of adventurers who show tremendous interest in the spirit realm and the phantom realm. The fact that all the customers who should have worked hard to attract them to the side of hell through sales were all turning their heads to that damn sapling''s business ce, which gave Tan an immense sense of crisis. It cant be done..... It cant be done..... The demon worlds influence achieved despite the persecution of those damn chickens. It was a very important time to solidify its influence based on the empire of evil and darkness created by the adventurer of the ck me dragon of darkness, so Tan couldn''t help but feel impatient with the influence of the suddenly growing world tree. The damn owner has no idea what the hell hes up to. A fussy adventurer who sometimes seems to act for evil and himself, and sometimes not. But even so, because he possessed an absurd level of probability and was able to use that power freely, Tan always had to keep a low profile and look at him. Ugh, X-foot..... It looks like X, really. I don''t know when I''ll be able to fix the thing that broke my god..... He always puts it off, saying he''ll fix itter even though he frowns all the time. However, despite his absurd behavior, Tan couldn''t say anything. Whatever it was, there was no way to restore the Deathbringer, a symbol of the Demon World and his precious weapon, to its original form other than using Jae-young''s probability to fix it. Haa... I need to take care of the kids ande back. The situation on the continent of Arcadia isplicated. As he pondered about his ns for the future, Tan muttered with a stiff face, and then closed his eyes and focused his mind. Whoops. The time when Jae-Young, the only medium and contractor who can stay in Arcadia, is away. Taking advantage of this time, when he was tightly bound by the constraints of probability and unable to exercise any influence, Tan, as always, naturally abandoned his avatar in the form of an imp and returned to his original body. In the true form of Satan, the great king of corruption. seat of corruption. A ce like a symbol where only the absolute ruler and ruler of all fallen people in the realm of demons can sit. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, but when he opened his eyes, powerful ck magic power began to emanate from his entire body. Roaring. Just by radiating magical energy, the mes of hell were realized, and the whole body was zing. His transcendent body, which is likely to erase mountains and divide the sea with just one gesture, and a pair of wings surrounded by a huge film attached to his two horns rising sharply and menacingly, show off their majesty as a symbol that shows that he is a fallen devil. there was. [Are you back, great king?] A demon waiting for Tan to open his eyes. A subus in the form of a rich and decadent woman. She was so beautiful that even the soul would be seduced by mere eye contact, but at the same time, she seemed to be hiding a deadly poison, and she knelt down in front of Tan and showed her utmost respect. [It took a long time this time.] Unlike usual, her monarch returned to the Pandemonium after a long time. However, he spoke in a voice mixed with anger unlike usual. [I should have said Lilith. Don''t wait for me toe back and do your job.] Subus Queen, the ruler of the Dream Demon and the lord of all depraved lusts and desires. Lilith. She always loyally waited in front of the throne of corruption and waited for her to return, but Tan did not like her behavior. [This is a presumptuous statement, but how could I dare to do that? The Great King is the Absolute Ruler of this Demon Realm. This is a necessary measure to protect apletely defenseless body while consciousness is transferred to Arcadia. In addition...] Lilith, who speaks dozens of words to Tan, exins the justification for her actions. But at her words, Tan frowned and said. [Hey Lilith.] [Yes, my lord. Did you call me.] Lilith answered with a smile at Tan''s words calling her. As if proving that the adage that you can''t spit on a smiling face is bullshit, Tan spit at herughing face. [Do you really want to die?] [Yes...?] Lilith was clearly taken aback by those words. Normally, she would justugh and move on, but since she was in a situation where she was already annoyed by the matter on the other side of the continent, Tan suddenly tripped over her actions as if she had been caught well at this point. [I definitely warned you the other day, don''t keeping when I''m defenseless and staring at me like a stalker. Do you think I don''t know why you keep fooling around next to me in case someone isn''t the lord of desire and lust? protect? How many ranks are you here, and who is protecting whom?] 18th in the demon realm. In the Demon Realm, a world where rank is determined only by strength and power andbat ability, she is ranked much lower than other monarchs, even though she is the lord of the dreamers. [And I definitely said I didn''t like the performance of your sales team, right? Apparently, it fell by 23%st quarter, so I asked them to bring a report on cause analysis and a future performance supplement system, but why didn''t they bring it? Do you think I''ll forget if you say you''ll bring it and then go overboard like this? Shall I really shake it off today?] Devils of the Pandemonium are struggling hard to steal the souls of humans. However, in the case of the Nightmare Department, which Lilith is in charge of, its performance has been sluggish to a disastrous level. [That''s that... That''s because we can''t interfere with the adventurers...] Lilith speaks in a voice that is not confident, as if there''s something unfair about that statement. There was a reason why her department had been underperforming recently. -When you make a contract with a devil, don''t do it with a subus. - Combat ability is also sluggish, there is a strange charm skill, but the efficiency is garbage. -real. It seems to be specialized in curses, but if that''s the case, I''d rather be a necromancer. -Is a good thing as pretty as a devil when signing a contract? Other than that everything is garbage. -Heheh..... Subus older sister..... Dream horses that gained poprity because they were prettier than other demons with a rugged appearance. However, since the fact that the main skills obtained from contracts with them were widely spread, contracts with dreamers have be an object of avoidance for ck magicians. [Ha... are you saying that as an excuse to me right now? What did I say when I called the kids the other day? Do you remember what you heard then?] While doing so, Tan took out a ck notepad and quickly nced at the bloody notes. Lilith rolled her eyes and spoke in a trembling voice at his meticulous and meticulous questioning. [If you wring even a dry rag, water wille out... I think it was said that in order to extract a human soul, you have to wring it out by any means and methods...] Lilith trembled in reply . At her answer, Tan smiled coldly and asked. [so. Did you and that fucking sales team do their best?] [.....] Lilith couldn''t answer that question. Seeing her reaction, Tan slowly walked around her and said as if talking to herself. [I mean..... Sometimes I feel empty at times like this. Those damn chickens are already on the edge in Arcadia, but they''re all working together, trying to fuck me up somehow. Even I am going through all the hardships in myter years to earn a chance by running a business locally, but the guy below me is sitting leisurely and flirting and sucking honey. I mean...?] [My King... that''s not it...] Lilith, with quite a puzzled look on her face, stuttered and tried to exin that it wasn''t like that. However, she opened her mouth as if she couldn''t think of a good excuse, but Tan smiled brightly and said firmly. [Its okay. Tell them to gather under me and above you.] [At least that, please...!] Lilith kneels down and asks for forgiveness, frightened by Tan''s words. However, Tan spoke with a grim face as if he had no mercy at all. [Will you call? Or should I go find it myself?] The Demon World is a society based on strict rule of thumb and a ss society. There, too, there was bitterness and absurdity. Just like anywhere in reality. Chapter 264 Chapter 264 My boss... is crazy! (1) Arcadia''s monthly meeting. At this meeting, where key executives at the level of general manager or higher gathered together to exchange various stories, as always, important information in the game that was unknown internally and externally was exchanged. Since the unification of the continent, the antipathy of users from other countries against Korean users has been exaggerated. Regarding this, as I reported before, Korean users'' monopolization of rewards at the World''s Greatest Martial Arts Tournament became a catalyst... I will tell you about each unique trend in the Korean continent. First of all, in the case of the Maroon Kingdom, the ck me Dragon of Darkness recently reached level 200 and has officially risen to No. 1 in the world rankings. After the Continental War, unusual movements between countries began to be seen, especially in the case of the Barmal Empire... We report on the flow of gold and economic trends. After the copse of GM, most of the stakes they had were absorbed by Apple and Pi, operated by users named Lemon. It has a friendly and inclusive tendency to trade with other toppanies, so it does not cause a big bacsh, and continues to makerge-scale investments using the gold it earns. So... Although it is a game, Arcadia boasts aplex social structure that is no different from reality. Politics, society, economy, diplomacy and culture within it.... Numerous discussions took ce at this ce where unusual trends in countless diverse fields were reported and discussed. The agenda became the central theme. Recently, inquiries frompanies about Arcadia and Lucid Dream in rtion to virtual reality are exploding. For now, we are refusing all rted inquiries as per the guidelines... but the momentum is iparable to before. Virtual reality integrated production machine Lucid Dream. It is the only way to create a virtual reality like Arcadia, and a device that can bring out the infinite imagination of humans into reality, a device that can only exist in dreams. To the extent that it could be called a revolution, this lucid dream had infinite scbility. - Working at Macrosoft Virtual Office from home. 200% increase in work efficiency. -Established a game development studio based on ice storm virtual reality. Full-fledged development of virtual reality games? - Expected to resolve the gap in educational conditions ording to virtual academy regions. -Virtual reality that transcends space. Bringing about a cataclysm in human way of life. A world where various tasks and education can be conducted virtually and countless contents can be created just by imagining. Amid these changes, European countries, including the United States, came out with a lot of virtual reality-based content and quickly settled in people, but Korea was not able to do that. [I don''t know how long the Jeon Chan government will push for the construction of that crazy underground city, but I will not stand by and ignore the anti-constitutional actions that ignore the National Assembly!] [The National Assembly condemns the Jeon Chan government for refusing tomunicate and arbitrarily creating a dictatorship do! President Jeon Chan, who disregards popr sovereignty and destroys the constitutional order, must resign himself.] The Jeon Chan administration suddenly revealed its aspirations to build a mega-city that can amodate 10 million people underground in Seoul. Project Under World. However, when this ambitious and insane n was shown to be actually carried out, all the powerful people who own real estate in the main yolknd in Seoul, including Gangnam, all united and rose up. [An underground city under Seoul. I don''t know if the technology that can do that exists, but what if it copses? All the residents of Seoul will be buried immediately!] [A super-giant sinkhole underground in Seoul! against it! I oppose it!] [Crazy president ruining the country! Step back!] [Take responsibility for the apartment house price! Take responsibility!] Real estate prices in Seoul boast an undefeated streak. Despite this strong resistance and resistance from multi-householders who own multiple houses unitedly shouting, President Jeon Chan continued to cast ignorance and went ahead with a huge construction project that was unprecedented since Dangun, who went back and forth between illegal and legal. The rtionship was headed for catastrophe. [The National Assembly rejects all cooperation with the Jeon Ki-chan administration, which is returning to a dictatorship in unity with all girls, regardless of child. In order not to lead to extreme results, President Jeon Ki-chan strongly urges to listen to the voices of the National Assembly and the people even now, and ordingly.....] Members of the National Assembly who have dered a strike while lying in the National Assembly. Regardless of the ruling and opposition parties, all those living in Seoul shouted the overthrow of the former president, and all legitive activity itself came to a halt. Even though there are nows rted to virtual reality, the development of the virtual reality industry is still a global trend. It is a situation where serious human harm has not been reported, and the FDA said that there is no problem with it, but it seems a little too much to leave it like this. A situation where the officialunch is continuously dyed due to the absence of relevant legition. Unlike Dreamer, it is a special device that is in demand only frompanies or a small number of artists, so the demand for the release of Lucid Dream was not so strong before, but now it was putting pressure on Arcadia to the extent that it could not be ignored. [I really want to introduce lucid dream. If there are any conditions requested by yourpany, we will coordinate and cooperate as much as possible, so if you see this e-mail...] [ Please.... If I just go in empty-handed this time, I''ll really get fired, Chief. Please... can you please take care of me somehow? There are only three rabbit-like children. Heuk.....] [Take my money! give me money! Why don''t you sell it when you have money!] Companies and some individuals are eager to secure their lucid dream, no matter how much it is. The head of the External Cooperation Department, whose existing business is paralyzed by the barrage of inquiries, asked Executive Director Kwon Myung-han with eyes shining inwardly. By any chance... what would happen if I told the boss well? Just as we are coborating with Ajin Group, it will be of great help in the future if we build friendly rtions with other domesticpanies at this opportunity. A situation in which Lucid Dream is already being used as a project requested by Ajin Group. It is said that the relevant legition has not been overhauled, but it was not an illegal act that was banned at all, so he asked in a curious tone with his eyes shining. But at his words, someone stood up. That will never happen. The head of the Legal Office, who oversees the legal issues of the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. As an elite among elites who even served as a former chief judge of the Seoul High Court, he spoke in a firm tone. In the case of Ajin Group, there was no major legal problem because it was a request for cooperation as a major shareholder of Arcadia Co., Ltd., but cooperating with otherpanies for the purpose of generating profits ispletely different. The National Assembly, which is anxious to find the dry ground because it wants to turn on the light in its eyes and bite the electrifying government. Recently, when the conflict escted, it escted, but it was never mitigated, so it was good not to start something that could be a problem for no reason. It is premature to offer a lucid dream to otherpanies if you do not want to be called to a hearing and put in a situation where they are driven to illegal activities. I heard that...? Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han shrugs at the opposition of the head of the legal department. But despite the opposition, he did not back down. If you hit it like that, wouldnt the Dreamer be a problem too? However, no one took issue with Arcadia''s serviceunch and sales of rted devices. An anomic situation in which the relevantw itself does not exist, but the substance does exist. In this ambiguous and ambiguous situation, neither illegal nor legal, Dreamer was clearly still being sold in Korea. In a state of freedom where no one is holding back. That is because the current government is in a friendly position with virtual reality, and the National Assembly is also conscious of the public opinion of the public, which is the actual consumer base. If you make a problem, there can be enough legal controversy. An ambiguous situation that bes a problem the moment it bes a problem. As the head of the legal department, who has to advise on legal risks and prepare for them in advance, his opinion was correct, but Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was strangely attracted to the words of the head of the External Cooperation Department. Chief Attorney General Then, what if the consumer ss is the general public, not corporations? yes....? What do you mean by that..... The attorney general frowned as if asking what that meant. The executive director who rmended him asked him again. I mean, is it possible to provide lucid dreams to the general consumer group, not corporations? At those words, the chief attorney general thought about something for a moment and then said something ambiguous. Its not impossible... but legal risks still exist. If the National Assembly is to me for it. Anyway, President Jeon Ki-chan, who is currently in power, is in a friendly situation with Arcadia. So, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han organized the thoughts that popped into his head and said. Then how about doing this? Anyway, most countries except Korea have alreadymercialized lucid dream. He must be practicing rted production methods and know-how and focusing on developing virtual reality contents. Creating virtual reality content that will be a huge future food and national industry. Unlike Korea, which has yet to take its first steps due to being entangled in various political disputes, many advanced countries, including the United States, have already entered fierce behind-the-scenespetition. To preupy this unknown market that has yet to open properly. How long can only Korea be isted like this forever... If this is the case, how about opening lucid dreams to the general public, who are burdened with touch even in the National Assembly? It''s for free. The Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. boasts huge sales that you don''t have to be greedy for profit generation. Since it was far more important to build a foundation of public support for Arcadia and virtual reality itself than making a few bucks, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han said with a strange smile. Um..... It seems that there may be various problems.... but I think it will be okay. That sounds like a good idea. In response to those words, director-level executives coordinated and weighed various pros and cons in their heads. In their friendly atmosphere, someone said. Executive Director, how about taking this opportunity to try something like a contest? what....? Competition? Head of Marketing Department in charge of tasks directly rted to consumers. He said with his eyes shining as if he had a good idea. yes. Wouldn''t it be open to the public for the purpose of selling anyway? If so, I would rather hold a video contest to motivate professionals and aspirants working in various creative fields, such as writers, painters and film directors. Unlike other system developments, this is a level of difficulty that is essible to the general public as it only needs to be realized with pure imagination. Um... Are you okay? If it is a simple video production, it will be possible even at a sync rate of up to 18%, so it seems that the general public can use Lucid Dream. Public interest is likely to be higher than now, and basically it will be a good opportunity to increase the friendship of Lucid Dream. A situation where positive opinions are popping up all over the ce. In a situation where many people were saying that it was okay, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han''s ears also started to ring. First...then let''s make a suggestion to the boss about the rted content. I don''t know if you''re positive about this issue, but... An agenda that suddenly popped up in such a regr meeting. However, they overlooked one fact. That President Lee Mi-yeon is a maddened executive who draws the line far better than they think. It''s good. I like it very much. Then...we will select the departments in charge of the issue and proceed with it. President Lee Mi-yeon nodded with a face saying that she really liked the agenda. In response to her reaction, Kwon Myeong-han turned around while thinking of various ns in his head on how to proceed with the n. Then, to the back of his head, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said. Do by that way. Oh, and the prize money for the contest. Lets go a little hotter. yes....? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon turned his head and asked what he was talking about. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon said to him with a very mischievous smile. The total prize money for the contest... How about spending about 100 billion won? ...? Seriously, Are you crazy?'' In a situation where it is difficult to know what to say to this crazy president who is not even the name of a dog and is about to throw away an enormous amount of 100 billion won, managing director Myung-han Kwon tries to burst out with superhuman patience at her continued words. I had to hold on tight. Anyway, ourpany...isn''t it a lot of money? Chapter 265 Chapter 265 My boss... is crazy! (2) Held a contest hosted by Arcadia Co., Ltd. The reporters who first received this press release, which was distributed to all media outlets through the public affairs team of the Korean branch, could not believe their eyes. - The total prize money for the contest is 100 billion won. Hanwha 100 billion won. An astronomical amount that can be swallowed up to quite a few medium-sizedpanies. Since it was not a unit to be mentioned in a contest, they immediately contacted Arcadia Co., Ltd. to ask if it was a typo. [Isnt that a typo?] Yes...? [The total prize money for this contest is nned to be 100 billion won. Anyone can participate as an individual, and please check the attached press release for a detailed list of awards and prize amounts.] Is that really true? No wait. Wait..... The person in charge of Arcadia Co., Ltd. had just said what he had to say in a prickly tone and hung up, as if he had already received a lot of simr questions. However, the reporter had no time to be offended by the manager''s attitude. Baby, call the director quickly! Because we have to publish this article first. I see. A press release distributed simultaneously to all media outlets in bulk. That''s why they had no choice but to run around like crazy from the moment they confirmed that the rted data was true. To make this huge scoop a headline faster than any other media outlet. -Shock! The strongest contest on earth, Imagination Battle! -A total prize money of 100 billion won? Astonishing Arcadia. - Co., Ltd. Arcadia Korean branch held a huge contest. -Insane Contest Insane Subtitle. Arcadia Contest. With an incredibly provocative title, rted reports are literally all over the Inte, TV, and even newspapers. It was attracting tremendous aggro so that viewers could never pass by. - Unleash your hidden imagination! The 1st Imagination Battle! < My boss is crazy! > The main title and subtitle that will make viewers unable to stand it. And I don''t know if it was intentional, but the title of this crazy contest caught the attention of many people. -lol. Did you get paid for this? Aren''t you going to be punished by the person in charge? - It''s really apany where the taste buds have gone. Write a title like this. - Cheek ha ha ha ha ha ha This is K-management. -Apany that could not exist in a Confucian society. -What kind of joke is running thepany? Anyway, really..... The public reaction was a mix of fun and criticism and ridicule about thepany being so damn stupid. However, they couldn''t help but be astonished when they saw the details of thepetition. -100 billion...? -Who is this..... -Whoa..... Is this a true story? - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Thepany level has really gone crazy. A staggering level of money that leaves everyone in awe. Arcadia''s contest became a global issue less than a day after the press release was distributed because it bet enough money as a prize topletely change a person''s life. -Holy Shit..... 1st prize is 10 million dors? -100,000 dors just for 10th ce..... Does this make sense..... -How can I participate in this? Is it possible to participate even if you are not Korean? It is a tournament that costs too much money to just pass by. Therefore, rted inquiries poured in from other branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd. [I think it''s unfair to host such arge-scale contest only in Korea!] [That''s right. If you arbitrarily hold an event like this in a specific country, consumers in other countries will misunderstand that they are unfairly discriminated against, Mr. President. Please improve once again. ] Branch heads from all over the world gathered in unison, led by Kazuki, the head of the Japanese branch. Their request was simple and clear. We should do this event together.'' Those who want to put a spoon on the rice cake that makes one''s mouth water at just a nce. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not back down and rejected their request at once. oh. I''m sorry, but that seems impossible. The budget used for this contest is inevitably made using unexecuted budget due to the special political situation in Korea. If the participants are expanded to the whole world, there will be problems with equity. [yes....? What is that.....] [President... Oh no matter how much.....] I''m thirsty for Imagination Wars'', which is being held by the Korean branch, as the release date of Lucid Dream has not yet been confirmed. This is a special event for the many creators in Korea who are anxious about It would not be fair to give another country the right to participate in this contest, which has already spent and ns to spend a huge budget on the release of Lucid Dream. With the release of Lucid Dream confirmed, branches in other countries are investing huge amounts of money in various areas such as production, distribution, and marketing. In the case of the United States and Japan, it had already been released and was already being used in various areas, so Lee Mi-yeon, president of the branch, looked at Kazuki and smiled brightly. Should grown-ups try to get involved in a contest for babies who are just getting into lucid dreaming? Leave it alone so amateurs can enjoy it. [.....] President Lee Mi-yeon said that it is a special event for Koreans who have not experienced lucid dreaming, so do not think about raising a spoon. However, at those words, the branch managers looked at them as if they were ridiculous and kept their mouths shut. I was thinking about where to start to refute the words of that crazy boss who said that it was an amateurpetition and sprinkled a huge amount of money that historically does not exist and will not exist in the future. * * * Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, Seomin University. Those who respond faster and more sensitively to news rted to virtual reality than anyone else have been busy talking about this imaginary battle all day here and there. and. 1st ce prize money is 10 billion won. Does this make sense? If I really had that money, I could y and eat for the rest of my life. What would the interest be if I just put it in the bank? A staggering amount beyond imagination. At the word that everyone would give money as prize money, which everyone has dreamed of at least once, they were busy running the happiness circuit here and there, but unfortunately, there was a limit. Hey, the minimum synchronization rate to participate is 15%. If you cant get over that, they say they wont even provide lucid dreams in the first ce, so what are you going to do? The synchro rate used as a key indicator of the suitability of lucid dreaming. Considering that the average human figure was 14%, it was possible to get a glimpse of how generous the 15% standard they presented was, but there were still those who fell short of this standard. Such an asshole... A student like Kang Tae-soo, who boasts a synchro rate of 14.13%, is a standard human indicator. Hey Minshik. Are you going to enter the contest? Of course not, man. No matter how bad it is, you should just try it once. Maybe not? If you do well, you might actually win a prize. Quack. It will be fine. Seeing you write Lucid Dream the other day, it sounded like shit. Your inws are talking nonsense. Even though you didnt do anything right. The motives talking about the contest while talking loudly. Eavesdropping on their stories, Jaekyun cautiously looked at Jaeyoung, who was sitting next to him with a sour expression on his face as if he wasn''t interested at all, and asked. Hey... Jaeyoung..... Maybe that contest..... Eh. what is that? Jaeyoung answers while staring at her smartphone. Jae-gyun asked cautiously at his reaction, who seemedpletely uninterested. No... I wondered if you were thinking of going out too... I don''t go out like that. Jaeyoung is constantly focusing on something without taking her eyes off her smartphone. Jaekyun, who had nothing to say at his stern answer, kept his mouth shut and continued to speak with difficulty. But... the prize money for the championship was huge... A prize money of as much as 100 billion won. But at that, Jaeyoung smiled and said. Why would you do that with just that much prize money? guy. Is that so...? The situation is that even with Arfandia''s channel, the winning prize is well worth the money in the bank ount. Even if he made up his mind and robbed Cervenian''s rarity properly, he could have secured enough money to win the contest hundreds of times, so Jae-young did not have a single interest in this contest. Dont you have a lot of money too? I received some of the rted shares while producing the League of Legendsst time, and I know that Arcadia Co., Ltd. requested cooperation and paid the cost without regret...? A virtual reality version of the league of legends created by Jaeyoung and Jaekyun. A very small portion of the total sales was being settled, but even that was a situation where the amount of thousands of units was still being recorded in the bank ount every month. That''s true, but... money isn''t the problem, it''s just... What are you saying, I want to check your abilities? Jaeyoung finally takes his eyes off his smartphone and asks Jaekyun seriously. To his sincere question, Jaekyun answered in a low voice, avoiding his gaze, perhaps a little embarrassed. Yeah..... Because there were so many regretsst time. what....? Ah... then that...? The dark history of Jae-gyun, who, even before he died of old age, was ashamed and kicked the nket with his feet and screamed. The so-called ugly delusion of a dirty pervert stalker''. In a practical ss using lucid dreaming, he gave away the portrait rights and made everyone want to pluck out their eyes by making a video of Chae-yeon''s face with time-space and limbs shrinking and disappearing at the same time. Perhaps he wanted to make up for the incident at that time, Jaekyun showed great interest in this contest. Yeah... Ill cheer you on, so try doing well. Since I am sure of my skills, the award must be certain. Jae-gyun perfectly pulls out the visual beauty itself. Jaeyoung had no worries because it was his area of expertise where he was ying at a world-ss level. Th... then, can I help you alone? What am I...? Jae-kyun hurriedly takes out 4 pieces of paper from his bag while asking for help. Then, he handed the papers to Jaeyoung and said. When I looked at the details of the contest, it seemed that one of the four backgrounds was selected and made. The genre seems to have nothing to do with it. past. hyundai. future. fantasy. A contest that did not present a specific genre, saying that each winner would be selected in just four fields. That''s why Jaekyun said with a begging face. I really dont know what to do... but could you please pick one for me? Not particrly difficult request. So, without hesitation, Jaeyoung pulled out one of the papers he was holding and opened it. Um... its the future. Mi future? Jaeyoung hands over the unfolded paper to Jaekyun. Jaekyun''s eyes began to shake as he saw the word future'' written inrge letters. The future... the future... what will you make...? Jae-kyun whimpers, thinking about what to do from the start. Jaeyoung said indifferently to his self-talk. Well... don''t think too hard, think easy. What, there are a lot of SF genres? What is that... a famous thing like War of the Stars? Star Wars...? Jaekyun makes a strange expression and tilts his face when he mentions a world famous movie. Looking at his confused expression, Jaeyoung muttered in an annoyed tone. Or make a mechanical dinosaur with quantum mechanics going back in time and fighting against a cat robot without ears. Without even imagining what he might be doing. Chapter 266 Chapter 266 What is this... Human imagination has no limits. I think. Highly exists. Man is the only imaginable animal on this. Human imagination that creates something abstract that does not exist in this world. But surprisingly, human imagination is not infinite. Imagination to createpletely new things bybining and changing various pieces of information based on what one has recognized and learned. Therefore, most of the things that ordinary people imagine weremon and simr. [There was an announcement from Arcadia Co., Ltd. that the number of people who submitted applications hoping to participate in the Imagination Competition exceeded 10 million. So.....] Applicants who want to participate in this contest at a truly explosive level. However, in reality, there is no way that Arcadia has the capacity to give all these people a chance. So, in the end, I had no choice but to make a selection first. [We n to rent Lucid Dream devices for a certain period of time only to those who are selected as suitable'' ording to Lucid Dream''s synchro rate. Information rted to the synchro rate will determine whether or not you are eligible to participate by linking rted data only to users who y Arcadia. Therefore...] Applicants who have passed the minimum synchro rate of 15%. However, there were still more applicants than expected, so they had no choice but to add some tricky conditions. [Participants must be at least 19 years of age due to concerns about the harmful effects of lucid dreams. In addition, it ispulsory toplete training on how to use Lucid Dream, and if you have a current job, participation in the contest is also restricted.] Minors are not allowed to participate. Completion of 30 hours ofpulsory education. There is even a limit on the participation of incumbents. These restrictions were added as ast resort measure due to the excessive number of applicants, but in a way, they were extremely reasonable. [In the case of Lucid Dream, it is very tricky and difficult to handle for first-time users. The work of realizing imagination is also a arduous mental work that uses tremendous mental power. Can a user who has not even been trained on basic usage and who has already exhausted all his mental power at work create a proper work?] A lucid dream in which everything must be realized with imagination. After it was decided to give opportunities to those who can afford to invest everything for the manifestation of this imagination, which is a high level of mental activity and close to high-intensitybor. Ultimately, 50,000 people were given the opportunity to participate in the contest. [The period given for production is 30 days. I wish all the creators wonderful works. I hope this will be an opportunity to unleash your limitless imagination.] * * * Eom Jun-sik, an unknown film director. Looking at the sleek capsule in front of him, he was swollen with anticipation. This is the lucid dream youve been hearing about, isnt it...? Equipment that only exists in the imagination that realizes what one imagines as a video. Eom Jun-sik looked at the lucid dream in his studio with greedy eyes and murmured, to the extent that it could be said that it was made for him as a film director. Hehehe... With this, I can make a movie of the things I really wanted to make. He always believed that he had an excellent talent for storytelling and conception. However, as the debut works were literally porridge, and several works also produced disastrous results, there was no ce to call them, so they immediately became unemployed in the corner of the room. Leave and see, those damn children. Do you think it ruined because the movie I filmed was poor? Jun-shik thinks that he has be like this because he made a movie within a limited budget,promised with reality, and the movie became ugly. That''s why he was thinking of this contest as an opportunity for knight revival. Ill take a prize in this contest as if to show off. So that you know what a great filmmaker I was. Jun-shik entered the lucid dream while sharpening the de of revenge. However, he soon ran into difficulties. [Ha..... This isn''t it.....] A female protagonist who brought out her imagination as much as possible and realized it. Strangely, however, unlike the beautiful appearance she had imagined, the female protagonist''s appearance seemed strange and awkward. [Ummm..... The background is too difficult for theke. I''d rather have something like a mountain or a field...] He felt the limits of his imagination when it came to embodying the rolling and rolling water naturally. That''s how he changed it to the easiest field, unlike the background he had previously envisioned. [Ha..... The explosion scene is not real. Rather, a scene of being killed with a knife.....] The explosion scene, which consumes tremendous mental power, is a simple and t scene. by. In this way, unlike his initial thought, he came to an agreement on the realistic difficulties that he continued to encounter. It''s no different from the past, when we tried to masturbate ourselves to the fact that we couldn''t help it because of the insufficient budget, and made clumsy movies without much thought. At that time, many creators, including Jun-shik, were putting their heads together and using their imaginations to create their own works. Jaekyun was also struggling while creating his own work within the lucid dream. [Ummm..... SF is tricky...] Jaekyun ponders something while floating in the infinite universe he created through his own imagination. He frowned as if he was ambiguous as he looked at his work, where time stood still. [From a future destroyed by quantum mechanics, cat robots without earse to conquer the earth, and in order to stop it, armored dinosaur robots created by mankind are mobilized and fight fierce battles...] A word that Jaeyoung threw inadvertently . It was a thoughtless remark, but Jaekyun, who took his words more seriously than he thought, created something bizarre with a material that made his head dizzy just by hearing it. [Khahaha! On the topic of uncivilized past people who don''t even know quantum mechanics! Gently hand over the earth!] [Go away! Ghosts of the future This earth still belongs to people from the past.] [The human race that created me by using the earth indiscriminately has perished! Such a bleak future cannot be repeated.] [Such a future will note. Because we will protect this earth! Titanium Mecha Brikchiosaurus! Turn that goddamn cat into scrap metal!] [Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!] Robot. quantum mechanics. dinosaur. Armored. space battleship. space warfare. Jaekyun, who created an incredible hybrid by mixing materials that would make anyone''s mouth water. However, he surprisingly thought that the video he made was pretty good. [Hmm..... At this level, the quality is good and the visual beauty is excellent, right?] A video made on an enormous scale that would cost hundreds of billions of dors to produce in reality. In particr, the battle between the titanium mecha Brikchiosaur and the space battleship, which is so lively, was majestic and grand enough to forgive this mind-boggling story. Jae-kyun yed the video from the beginning to the end of this imaginary world he had created for a while. And he couldn''t help but sigh again at the problem he had been thinking about since earlier. [Haa..... How should I end this...?] A fierce battle between a space battleship and a titanium mecha, the Brychiosaur. And the winner was none other than a dinosaur. [Keugh... If you''re going to lose like this, I''ll destroy everything! Destroying Rays! Ready for operation!] [Do you dare to leave it like that! Brikio! Go!] [Keiee Ee!] When the situation became disadvantageous, the Ear -free robot cat prepares the destruction light to erase the earthpletely from the universe. And in the end, as ast resort, it self-destructed and destroyed the destruction ray device, Titanium Mecha Brikiosaurus. The main character, who lost a dinosaur who had been with him since childhood and was a preciousrade, was facing a robot cat without ears sitting on the bridge of a space battleship withpletely lost power and all functions stopped with a face full of resentment and anger. [You bastard... Because of you, Brhio died!] [Ha... Are you still trembling because of that insignificant dinosaur despite being a human being?] [Insignificance? Brhio... Brhio was my family!] [Family...? under. This was an idiot who didn''t really know anything. Seeing as you don''t know that dinosaurs were the biggest cause of the extinction of mankind.] [What...? What the hell are you talking about...?] The main character has an expression full of shock as if he has found out the secret of his birth. And the earless cat robot with a frustrated face, as if everything was wrong, muttered, looking at the protagonist as if he was pathetic. [This is why you past people who don''t even know quantum mechanics are pathetic. Without knowing what will happen in the future, they are attacking me who sacrificed everything to help and came back to the past without knowing what will happen in the future... Kwuk..... It''s really ridiculous.] [What the hell are you talking about ... ? Talk to me! What on earth is going to happen in the future!] Jaekyun wants to make people curious about the next story by adding a lot of meaningful rice cakes. However, I was wrapped up in an enormous amount of worry about how to end the ending, which is the final highlight scene and the climax of the film. [Keuk..... It''s too in to just end it like this.....] So far, he has been through countless cultural contents such as movies, dramas, anime, cartoons, fantasy, light novels, martial arts doujinshi, etc. That''s why he pondered for a long time toe up with the most optimal ending by exploring the numerous clichs and clichs that existed in his head. [Let''s see... The material is important for these things... The material...] Dimensional shift. return. status window. past life. Rebirth. mythology. Ninja. . . . and that moment. In Jaekyun''s head, something like a sh of fate began to pass by. [Ninja...?] Ninja is a subject that every man would have been passionate about and liked at least once in his childhood. The suddenly popped up keyword of ninja was stimting the imagination in Jaekyun''s head to the peak and giving him tremendous inspiration. [Yeah... that''s it! ha ha ha....! Eureka!] Jaekyun likes to jump around in outer space excitedly by himself. And he soon strained his imagination to create several additional characters. [Perfect...] A number of svelte-looking personnel wearing ck suits from head to toe. And Jae-kyun gave each of them a special symbol-like weapon. Ray Kunai. lightsaber shuriken. Ray ninja too. Jae-kyun created a space ninja with a sense of confusion to the point that his brain gave up on his thoughts and dered a strike just by looking at him. And he muttered with a genuinely satisfied smile. [It''s perfect..... Now if you build the ending like this through them...] Jaekyun created thest scene with a perfect ending with the development stuck in his mind. He ended uppleting an enormous work to be submitted to thepetition with such satisfaction. Boasting a running time of 1 hour and 49 minutes. The space invasion of cat robots without ears''. Chapter 267 Chapter 267 Ninja Massacre Creation Contest Using Lucid Dream Imagination Competition The interest in this contest was beyond imagination as the total prize money was 100 billion won. -World-renowned film director Park Jun-ho. Highly praised for the use of lucid dream. - Masters who threw their votes into the contest. What is the imaginary story they created? - Final deadline for submission of the contest. What is the screening process...? Almost 50,000 applicants. Since they were selected through strict restrictions and inspection processes, 100% of them created and submitted their own works. That''s why Icked the capacity to review and evaluate each work on such an enormous scale. [This contest will be thoroughly judged blindly. A special banner will be organized on Arfandia, where viewers can directly appreciate the works submitted to the contest and give them a star rating from the heart, and the winning works will be selected based on the results. However, in this process, works that are problematic in excessive sensationalism or violence or works that vite copyright can be excluded from the screening, and also.....] Therefore, they do theplicated and difficult screening in a blind manner to the public. handed over With a very good cause of ensuring fairness. -oh my god. It took such a huge amount of money, but you leave the evaluation entirely to the public? -lol. There is no internal audit. What if a really shitty piece of work gets elected? - You said you would filter it if there was a problem with sexuality or violence. I don''t think there will be any problem. - There''s nothing wrong with it. You don''t know how much maniption is if you''re judging by star ratings in the first ce, right? -Really;; See other contests. Calling it a pum-at, they raise each other''s ratings and even mobilize ounts of acquaintances and rtives to raise their own ratings and lower the ratings of theirpetitors. -I see..... What on earth are you thinking about judging like this? No matter how shitty apany is, is it like this while spending 100 billion won? A contest screening method that is expected to have enormous side effects and harms. Many people expressed concern about it, but some smiled in contemtion after seeing the detailed screening method. Hehehe... this is really great...? Eom Jun-sik, an unknown film director, submitted his work to this contest. He fidgeted with his smartphone as if he was satisfied, his eyes shining. The past few days must have been worthwhile wandering around and putting in a lot of effort. I was thinking about 30%, but the viewer rating is 100%. It is beyond imagination. The seniors and juniors at work and colleagues whom I met while working as a film director in college. And to my parents'' acquaintances and rtives'' nieces and nephews. He literally mobilized all possible acquaintances andworks to ask for support for his contest work. Therefore, the evaluation method of this contest was no different from attaching wings to Jun-shik''s work. The beginning is the most important thing. After increasing the exposure with a high star rating and high number of views... After that, you only have to mess with thepeting works thate up. As soon as the works are released, they give high stars to their works. And a star rating terrorism forpeting works that areing up. He was crazy about the idea that if he continued to hold on like that, he would be able to gain poprity based on stable exposure and influx. Jun-shik''s heart started beating fast, thinking that winning the prize would not be so far off if he did well. Life is, after all, only for the shrewd to seed. Whos stupid to just pour water and wait? Opportunities are created, not seized. Offense is the best defense. Jun-shik is doing his best to win thispetition regardless of means and methods. However, Arcadia Co., Ltd. was not an easy opponent to the extent that his small brains worked. [Oh, and in the case of Korean subscribers, we n to limit the ability to give stars to works in this contest. There may be illegal horoscope maniption by acquaintances or rtives, and malicious acts of terrorism against otherpetitors may also ur. ] Overseas subscribers will be able to determine the winners of the contest. In addition, participants may be excluded from the judging if they are judged to have disclosed their work to the outside world or exposed rted information in any way, so please be careful once again.] Additional announcements just before the contest opens . It was a contest held only in Korea, but it was a contradictory situation that Koreans could not judge. Although it seemed to be an additional measure taken because of various concerns, many people were shocked by this super-precipitation. -??? Why can''t we rate? -No, the participant is Korean, but why is the evaluator a foreigner? - Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. If the Yankee Sherrys don''t like it, they''ll just leave. -???: What is Korean is the most global. -Ha..... Isn''t this treating all Koreans as potential criminals? It''s a bit ufortable. -From my point of view, it seems like the fairest and cleanest way? Comments, why are you like this..... Comments running on both extremes. Of course, most of them were indifferent to this evaluation method unless they were participants or rted acquaintances, but for some people like Jun-shik, it was nothing but lightning-like news. These fucking feet... what is this! Jun-sik finished the ground work in advance and was fully prepared. However, all of his efforts went to waste, and this contest has be a situation in which he has topete purely with only his works. And the evaluation of Koreans was excluded. That was a very painful fatal blow for Junshik. Title: Democratization of Taxi. military coup. fight. oppression. resistance. Because the work he made was a sentimental political work created to receive good reviews among Koreans who made a huge topic subject that cannot be left out when referring to Korean political history. For foreigners who have no interest in Korean politics, it was just a mediocre work that would not be strange at all even if it was sunk in the deep sea. * * * Jake! After you finish eating, go up and do your homework. eastern US. Jake is a 15-year-old middle-ss boy living in Boston. He went into his room at his mother''s nagging and immediately took out his smartphone. Chit. The homework still has 3 days left until the deadline. My mother is always a good person. He, who always handles everything by cramming, has no desire to do his homework yet. That''s why Jake took out his smartphone and entered Arpendia, which he habitually entered. This contest... Nothing is more fun than I thought..... The recently opened contest window. There were already a huge number of works divided into four fields, but most of them were of a poor level that was inferior to that of ordinary films. No, why are the video lengths so short and the content monotonous? what''s this. A lucid dream that fully realizes what you imagined. I watched it with high expectations because it was made using high-tech equipment, but the videos Jake had seen so far were truly disappointing. At least there were a few good ones... A post-apocalyptic world. The omniscient writer''s point of view'' depicts the story of a writer trapped in his own scenario struggling to survive in it. A rich but very unlucky boss. And President Kim is Too Much'', a romanceedy in which the female lead who says everything next to the boss draws a strange atmosphere and bangs with the boss. In reality, the main character who only appears in the game status window alone. And the Alone Status Window'' depicts the story of defeating monsters in the world that suddenly appear and be stronger based on the power in the game. He gave generous ratings to some of the works he liked, but he continued to browse through the contest windows as no work had yet appeared to give full marks. Isnt there something really novel and interesting...? Jake sets out to find something to satisfy his inexpressible desire. And he soon found something with a strange title. What is this....? Space invasion of earless cat robots...? Just hearing the name, this is a title that I want to be something. However, when he clicked on the video as if he was bewitched by the strangely eye-catching and curious title, he could not help but fall in love with the amount and tremendous visual beauty beyond his imagination. [Uncivilized people of the past who do not know quantum mechanics!] [On the subject of a cat robot without ears! I can''t lose!] [Kwak-kwak-kwak. puffer pung. Puff.] Vast outer space. An enormous space war taking ce within it. In this fierce battle for the life and death of human civilization, Jake was stunned by something the main character was dragging. [good! Titanium Mecha, Brychiosaur!] [Kieeh!] What is this..... A robot. dinosaur. And the armor..... From space and quantum mechanics to time travel. It was a subject that was so bizarre and confusing that it was the first time he had seen it, but Jake''s eyes lit up with anticipation rising in his heart little by little as he saw something. It''s novel..... In a way, the ingredients are really sick. However, the forces of the main character and the space battleship of the robot cat who are fighting so fiercely. And the characters who spoke lines with a lively look faithfully reflected the elements of a typical boy''s cartoon. friendship. effort. and win. A video that stimtes the emotions of a middle school student overflowing with hormones at the age of 15. Jake, who enjoyed this huge narrative that made his heart feel magnificent just by looking at it, eventually burst into tears at the part where the main character''s precious colleague self-destructs. Oh, no. Titanium Mecha, Brychiosaur! A preciouspanion of the protagonist who sacrificed himself to stop the evil space battleship''s attempt topletely blow up the Earth while preparing aary destruction cannon. Feeling great sadness in that scene, Jakepletely immersed himself in the anger of the main character that followed. [This is why you past people who don''t even know quantum mechanics are pathetic. Without knowing what will happen in the future, they are attacking me who sacrificed everything to help and came back to the past without knowing what will happen in the future... Kwuk..... It''s really ridiculous.] [What the hell are you talking about ... ? Talk to me! What the hell is going on in the future!] But a robot cat without ears hints that there is something more by telling a mysterious story. Jake listens with gulps at his words that he''s a viin, but he''s not a viin, but he actually has a bigger n. But in the next scene, he couldn''t help but be astonished. What is this... Ninja...? Three ninjas suddenly appeared. Mysterious beings wearing ck suits from head to toe. Through the weapons in their hands, they were bragging about their identities as if they were advertising to the whole world. [You talk too much, Quantum Mechanics Cat.] [You twisted the flow of space-time too much. You should know that this kind of intervention in the past is not allowed, right?] [You guys...! How did ite this far.....] [The existence of the past gave me information that I shouldn''t have known.] [Who are you guys! Reveal your identity!] Ray Kunai. shuriken. Those holding ninja swords and approaching the main character and the robot cat vigorously. And they uttered a single word to the two of them so heartlessly and brandished their weapons. [Unfortunately, your fate has been decided here. Die.] [That''s what!] [Chuck.] After that, the mysterious ninjas killed the main character and the earless robot cat with a single blow. After killing the viin and the main character in a fierce battle for the fate of the Earth, they looked at the blue star Earth from the bridge of a space battleship that had stopped functioning and turned off. [Prepare for the next turn.] [All for quantum mechanics.] [Now it''s finally starting.] The video ended like that. Even after the video ended, Jake, who had been staring at his smartphone for a long time in a daze, shouted in a voice full of resentment, forgetting that he was doing something else without his mother''s knowledge. what! What! What the hell! How could it end like this! An irresistible curiosity. The movie ended in 1 hour and 49 minutes, but Jake, who was so curious about the identity of the space ninjas that appeared at the end, muttered like an addict with withdrawal symptoms with red eyes. Next episode! Where is the next episode! this is not it! What if it ends like this! Jake, who resents the creator of the video and struggles with a stuffy feeling as if he stopped pooping in the middle. That''s how he suffered for a while from the thirst he felt for the first time at the age of 15. The ending where ninjas appear and kill them all. Bizarre, but ironically so well made. By one mind-bending video. Chapter 268 Chapter 268: A world that has gone mad. The earless cat''s cosmic invasion. The reactions of people who saw this video for the first time were literally pr opposites. -What is this really..... -Ninja shit hahahahahahaha. - Live and live. It''s the first time I''ve seen such good quality shit. -Isn''t this a waste of talent? -The visual beauty is so good, but what is the story? My mind is confused..... With people who take only all kinds of interesting and stimting materials and pour out criticism and criticism without filtering, saying that it is a bizarre piece of shit garbage mixed together. - So novel! Exciting! How do youe up with such a creative story? - From dinosaurs to ninjas to space battleships...? I really can''t stand this..... -The boom of quantum mechanics armored dinosaurs is here!!!! -Ninja kills all of them... I''m curious about the next episode. -Crazy hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ! Why is this funny? Amidst the enthusiastic response and interest of those who praised and enjoyed the novelty and fun of thest story far beyond imagination, great attention was drawn to Jaekyun''s works, whether they like it or not. -Cosmic Invasion of Earless Cat Robots''. is it a masterpiece? Is it rubbish? - Anonymous creator. What is his true identity? -Shock. astonished Controversial blockbuster in Imagination War. Inte public opinion is heating up. Through all kinds of stimting article titles, it was even exposed to the media and became famous worldwide. However, Jaeyoung''s expression sitting next to the creator who created it was nothing more than a face chewing shit. No, I just said it, but you made it into a real piece of work? Jae-young kept talking loudly about a contest he had no interest in, and just casually said whatever came to mind. He was amazed at Jae-gyun''s imagination that he had made a 1 hour and 49 minute movie out of such a ridiculous material, but it was absurd. That... No matter how much I think about it, I cant think of anything particrly interesting... Regarding science fiction, Jaekyun has been enjoying watching various works since he was in middle school. However, it wasn''t that he was passionate or interested, and he wasn''t immersed at the level of an expert, so the rted knowledge he possessed was quite clumsy. Space exploration or aliens are really hard to write, and its annoying to imagine the name or appearance... But the material you talked about was just drawn in my head. Jaekyun didn''t have the energy to create his own story. That''s why, even when I thought about it in a vague state, the story that became clearer and clearer was rted to the subject matter that Jaeyoung had told me. [Either a mechanical dinosaur with quantum mechanics travels in time and confronts a cat robot without ears that appears.] An incredibly bizarre movie that was made that way. However, the visual beauty and battle scenes were perfect to the point of admiration. No, I made it well, but its really absurd. Why are dinosaurs also briciosaurs? I''d rather have something cool like a Tyrannosaurus, but why did I have to use a herbivorous dinosaur? Thats because Tyrannosaurus is too tired... Jaegyuns idea was to take the long-necked Brychiosaurus from dinosaur movies and put it in state-of-the-art armored equipment because Tyrannosaurus, the king of carnivores, was fed up. There were more than one or two other elements I wanted to point out, but among them, Jaeyoung pointed out one that I didn''t understand the most. good. everything else is like that But what the hell did you think of thest one? The conclusion of the work created by Jaekyun. It was huge enough to make Jaeyoung, who was watching this work, give up understanding, as if he had inhaled a lethal dose of drugs just because he was a friend. A space ninja suddenly appears and kills them all? Are you really insane? Why...so bad...? Jae-kyun asks with a disappointed look as he seems to have not been able to properly achieve his intentions. Then Jaeyoungughed and said, as if he really didn''t know that. No, the main character and the viin were fighting each other bloody, but suddenly a ninja appeared out of nowhere at the end and killed all the characters talking about quantum mechanics, do you think viewers would like it? It''s all absurd. The ending is the most important part of the movie. His decision to cut off the end as if he had been pooping like this and cut it off in the middle was, in Jaeyoung''s eyes, nothing more than the atrocities of an interested seed who was eager to be scolded. Is that so...? uh. This is really just the ending that Koreans would hate the most. Thats right... Jae-kyuns face immediately turned sullen at Jae-youngs words. Jaeyoung, feeling a little sorry for his appearance, asked again soon. By the way... what the heck is the next story? what....? No, the story those ninjas said and the lines the robot cat said. It was full of foreshadowing that there was a next episode. A viinous robot cat from the future. and space ninja. The conversation of those who sprinkle rice cakes as if there is something. However, nothing was revealed in the movie, so Jaeyoung was still curious about that part, but Jaekyun answered the question with a really stupid expression. Uh... that...? I didn''t even think about it...? what....? The answer is that you don''t even know. At that, Jaeyoung lost his words and looked at him nkly, but Jaekyun was so brazen. Its just... its too bad that something ended tly. So I was thinking about how to have a fun ending, but I suddenly thought of ninja. It has the effect of stimting curiosity and anticipation as if there is something more. So... you mean that the ending of this movie isnt about what it is, its just the result of watching what really pops out of your head...? yes. Do I know anything about quantum mechanics? It just went off the rails. Jae-gyun, who only focused on stimting material. It didn''t seem that much of a concern because he wanted to take on the challenge anyway, so he didn''t think much about it. Jaekyun, it seems that God is fair for some reason. huh? What do you mean? Jaekyun asks back with a very innocent face, as if he doesn''t know what he''s talking about. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung felt it. Although God gave him unlimited power of imagination. On the contrary, it is said that it gave the level of creativity of nuclear waste. * * * Exhausted Jae-young returns to his room after digesting Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s rigorous lecture schedule thatsted until 6:00 pm. Having run out of energy to connect to Arcadia, hey down on the bed and began to rummage through his smartphone. Ha..... The real world is going crazy these days. Articles about the Underworld situation of the Azin Group, which have been in the news recently. Jaeyoung frowned at the atmosphere that seemed to be getting more and more heinous. -Shock Azin Group. Detecting superrge corruption evidence with the electric government! -Deration of the National Assembly ultimatum. If the government disregards the will of the people any more, it will take thest resort. - Legitive and executive branch going to extremes. What is the breakthrough? Portals full of suspicions such as corruption, abuse of power, taking advantage, and stories that promote fear of a giant sinkhole. Looking at them, Jaeyoung murmured incredulously. I dont know if Arcadia is also bleeding at this rate. Ajin Electronics, one of thergest shareholders of Arcadia and the only producer of the virtual reality connector Dreamer. As the entire Ajin Group, the parent group of these groups, is under attack from the National Assembly, Jae-young, who is watching it, licks his lips at the strangely ufortable nting. Youre not going to go to jail or anything like that, are you? The atmosphere of the outside world is not at all strange no matter what happens. Anyway, the reality is more spectacr than the fantasy world. Rather, seeing the atmosphere in the virtual reality that seemed rtively quieter and calmer, Jaeyoung smiled bitterly and tinkered with his smartphone. uh....? And then an article I found by chance. Looking at it, Jaeyoung shook his head left and right in disbelief and pressed the article with his hand, unable to close his gaping mouth as he read the contents. -The president of Miznisa praised the earless cat''s cosmic invasion''. With the recent release of the Fantastic Universe, Mizuni is exerting a frighteningly enormous influence in the entertainment industry through increased poprity and awareness than ever before. The chairman in charge of thepany did an unprecedented interview with the media and praised the video made by Jaekyun from beginning to end. [The Space Invasion of the Earless Cat is truly a fantastic work. An evil robot cat and space battleship who have returned from the future to the past to take over the Earth. And the cooperation between humans and dinosaurs struggling to protect the past from future invasions. The idea of modernly interpreting and using dinosaurs, a material that symbolizes the past, was truly astonishingly fresh . However, since the person who said such absurd bullshit was none other than the president of Miznisa, which is called the Midas hand of the film industry, the reporter''s expression while listening to his praise was very serious. [On top of that, I really can only say that the creator is a genius about the ending. A space ninja! The ninja, a material that would nevere out of the background of science fiction, is so exquisitely melted that it really makes the depth of the worldview so deep that one cannot dare to measure it. I also like the fact that they sessfully transnted Orientalism from the East to the Western worldview.] When Jaeyoung saw it, he was so absurd that he was stupefied and choked up, and all he could do wasugh out loud. the one holding on. And the president of Miznisa said with a childlike smile as if he was really looking forward to it. [I think that work will probably win this contest. If possible, it is also my desire to make a sequel to that work properly with Mizunisa and present it to the world. As a viewer, I would be very happy if I could expand into a huge world view and create several unconventional works like this one. Heh heh heh.] This crazy..... The president of Miznisa, without thinking about anything, just takes something cheap without filtering it in his brain, gives rave reviews and expresses his desire to make a sequel without hesitation. Looking at his reaction, Jae-young, who looked around the Inte with a face of disbelief, was able to confirm one fact. -Next episode! Where is the next episode! - This movie is incredibly meaningful andplex unlike just watching it. First of all, in the scene where the main character and Brychiosaur first sortie... -Considering the basic theory of quantum mechanics, the point of conversation between those ninjas is probably the collision of the universe that will happen in the future and the events that will ur as a result. .... -You damn writer, what if it ends like this!!!! I''m going crazy because I''m curious!! -I''ve been watching this work dozens of times... No matter how I look at it, it''s the best work..... -Is it the birth of a new masterpiece, SF that finally wins the Great Space War! Unlike Korea, where science fiction has little repercussions, it is one of the virtues to be crazy about science fiction far away. The fact that the yangdeoks are turning a blind eye to Jaegyun''s work. And they were seriously shouting at Jae-kyun. -This must be made into a drama, so it has to be season-based. -What are you talking about? It''s going to be a movie and it''s going to be a series. I also made prequels and side stories. -Make one with a robot cat as the main character. -Ninja! Ninja!!!!! I''m telling you to somehow pull out a sequel to this earless robot cat''s space invasion right now. Haha..... Jaekyun''s work, no matter how you look at it, can only be seen as a bizarre image of nuclear waste. Is this world crazy for praising it like that? Or am I crazy Jaejoong couldn''t bear to answer that question. Chapter 269 Chapter 269 Arcadia, virtual reality in a chaotic era. Everything in Arcadia''s world was made up of borate and delicate structures so that the public''s evaluation of it as another perfect world is no joke. economy. politics. culture. society. custom. history.w. art. A world where everything is asplex as cogwheels meshing together, and all members of society live ording to their respective roles, no different from real civilization. The natives living in this virtual world, so-called NPCs'', were feeling immense confusion about the recent colossal upheaval. So... you mean a huge, unknown continent was created? That''s right. The investigators have directly confirmed that a huge continent has appeared right in front of Dupeln Manor, which was originally famous as a port city. A huge earthquake thatpletely shook the entire continent a few months ago. After the earthquake, the emperor of the Shen Empire was able to grasp the consequences of the earthquake through correspondence delivered by nobles and feudal lords throughout the territory. emergence of new continents. And that information became more specific and sophisticated through the mouths of adventurers wandering around the world. It is said that this happened while the giant tree called the World Tree regained its strength and was resurrected. As far as I know, there are 8 continents in this world, and each continent has numerous countries. Also, there are many adventurers in it... Eight continents. existence of a world tree. Holy War. Unbelievable information passed on through the mouths of adventurers. However, after the Shoen Empire''s intelligence department and variouspetent administrative officials scoured the Imperial library and secret archives of the Shen Empire to find relevant information, the Shen Empire and its nobles had no choice but to believe. That this world they were living in was just a small part. The fact that there are many kingdoms and empires simr to them on that unknown continent. It''s ridiculous. I thought I was the mightiest and greatest in Arcadia, but there were so many people who used the title of emperor... Emperor. Emperor. A title that can only be used by the absolute ruler of the Empire'', who has subjugated numerous small kingdoms and led them as vassals, and has great authority and power that no one dares to confront. However, based on the adventurers'' information, dozens of emperors already existed in Arcadia. And that fact made the Emperor of the Shen Empire very ufortable. What do you think the Lords should do in the future? Whatever happened, it has already happened. What used to be the coastline of the Shoen Empire is now lined with a new, unknown continent. It was changed to a state bordering an unknown country, so the security of the empire was too precarious to just watch leisurely. Then, at the question of the Emperor of the Shouen Empire, someone stood up and spoke. Your Majesty, first of all, how about we propose formal exchanges with the countries of the two continents that border us? Countries on different continents suddenly be neighbors. Therefore, they scrambled to send an investigation team and a delegation, and through rough information, they confirmed each other''s estimates. Because of this, the Marquis of Aegis first proposed peace. I heard that the ce called the Gael Federation that I looked around is an importantmercial hub in the continent. The so-called representative there was also very friendly to the envoys of our empire, and the size of their territory and military power were so low that they dare notpare with the Shoen Empire. The Gael Federation is located in the southern part of the Korean continent. Marquis Aegis was convinced after touring this ce, which was centered onmerce and the only republic on the continent without a king. The fact that they can''t be a threat to the Shoen Empire. Propose peace with them, and let them experience the high majesty and splendid glory of the Shoen Empire for themselves as much as possible. If so, they will be naturally influenced and embraced in the arms of our Shouen Empire. The enormous economic and productive power of the Shoen Empire. And noble, sophisticated and elegant culture and art. The remarks of Marquis Aigis, who felt that every little thing was uncivilized and humblepared to the Shouen Empire. Hearing this, the emperor asked with a strangely satisfied smile. Was it not worth dealing with that much? That''s right. The ruler there was not a king, but a mere representative, a vulgar, ignorant, and mercantile merchant with no dignity. He was also greedy and eager to collect goods, and he seemed like he would do anything to satisfy his desires. Aegis belittled, iming that he had no dignity or qualifications as a monarch. At his words, the emperor of the Shen Empireughed heartily and mmed his throne. Ha ha ha ha. Right. After all, unlike our empire, it was an insignificant ce. The words of Aegis who had visited that unknown continent in person. Since no one had set foot there yet, no one particrly refuted orined about his words, but some nobles gave suspicious nces and showed signs of difort. Your Majesty, but if so, shouldnt we rather ask you to swear an oath of submission and obedience under the glory of the Empire rather than suggesting peace? A descendant of a powerful knight family, and a member of the Shen Imperial Army, the Kaiser Marquis. He came out in a head-on refutation of the words of the Marquis of Aegis, who was a prominentpetitor and had produced administrative officials for generations. No matter what, the continent Marquis Aegis visited is the main continent that the cruel pirates who attacked the Shouen Empire crossed over to. Even if you have nothing to do with them, I don''t think it makes sense to be lenient in front of them. The unstoppable remarks of the Marquis Kaiser. And the moment he mentioned the ck Pirates, only chilly silence and silence lingered in the meeting hall where hundreds of nobles gathered. ck Pirates. and the Caribbean. Words that are taboo even within the Shen Empire, and words that should never be uttered in front of the Emperor. The emperor looked at the Marquis Kaiser who had spit it out, and his eyes showed cold blood, but at his words, Duke Daven quietly stood up and opened his mouth with utmost courtesy. May I add a little more to the words of His Majesty the Marquis Kaiser? Just by looking at it, the emperor with the lid open. It is a situation that does not seem strange even if someone twists the nting and flies away with a sore throat. However, even the emperor could not easily ignore his influence as a duke, so he spoke in a calm but very cold voice. Speak. Duke Daven calmly opened his mouth while all eyes were on him when the Emperor''s permission fell. He refined the words of the Marquis Kaiser as much as possible and gave the argument justification. As Marquis Aegis said, the ce called Gael Federation is lowly and uncivilized, so even a little coaxing might lead it to our side. But after that, things can get moreplicated. Things get moreplicated...? What do you mean, Your Excellency Duke? The Gael Federation is not a single country on the new continent, Marquis Aegis. If we take control of the Gael Federation in such a peaceful way, will the neighboring countries just watch it? Even if they took control of the Gael Federation, other countries would not be pleased with the invasion of other continental empires. That''s why Duke Daven was skeptical about his method. Your Majesty, if the Empire decides to take over a country on another continent, it must move quickly and stealthily so that no one dares to oppose it, and it must make known to all the world the fearsomeness and strength of the Empire so that no one dares to oppose it. It is not only us that the continents have merged, and other continents are probably having simr discussions with us. The words of Duke Daven, who insists that we take control of them quickly rather than attracting them in a peaceful way. The nobles who heard it muttered with usible eyes as they pondered something. Well... other continents won''t stand still either. Even so, do we really need to do that? It would be better to take control little by little, even if it takes time, rather than to start an unnecessary war... The atmosphere seems to be divided between the pros and cons. In such an ambiguous situation, Duke Daiven took a deep breath and made a shocking remark. That''s why I think we should formally propose peace with the Faros Empire. The Peperos Empire? What the hell is that? Peros Empire. One of the two empires that exist on the Japanese continent, the Shouen Empire and the Shouen Empire have always been fierce territorial and power wars, and have been in conflict and antagonism for hundreds of years. Proposing peace with them was an argument that was tantamount to espionage and treachery in the Shoen Empire, so when one of the high-ranking nobles, Duke Daiven, talked about it, everyone screamed in fright. Everyone be quiet. At those words, the conference room became as noisy as the market floor. And at the Emperor''s low but angry words, everyone shut up as if they had promised. Duke Daven. Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. Do you know the meaning of what you just said? That''s right. Two empires that historically have done all kinds of ugly things that can never be forgiven. Since he wasn''t stupid and stupid enough to blindly propose peace, the emperor spoke a little rationally. Exin. Why should I and the Empire do this show? Punishment will be decided after that. The emperor of the Shen Empire who gave me a chance to hear the exnation onest time. To him, Duke Daven threw the gambler of a lifetime. What was the reason the Faros Empire and the Shen Empire have been fighting so far? A question posed to all nobles, including the emperor. Everyone put on strange faces and twitched their mouths at the question, but Duke Daiven gave the answer instead. Of course, the reasons and justifications for this were diverse, and as a result, countlessrge and small wars were fought. But above all, if you dig into the root cause, the most basic reason was one. Although the two empires have been fighting for various reasons and conflicts over interests, in a nutshell, all interests and conflicts have resulted in a single cause. territory. How many territories within this limited continent will be upied by which empire. Wasn''t this a key source of conflict? ..... A continent of a size that is wide but stillcks something. The two empires that divided the continent in half and ruled it were always repeating unnecessary conflicts for the dream of unifying the continent in order to satisfy each other''s endless greed. And Duke Daven realized through the incredible upheaval that urred this time. Now the conflict is meaningless. In this world, our Empire and the Faros Empire are still... No, to be precise, it is full of foolish people and savage kingdoms that rule them. Excluding the Japanese continent, there are seven continents of enormous scale. Daven''s im that all of them should be conquered. At the same time, he took it out to the emperor of the Shen Empire for the first time. The concept of the area called continent'' and. The Shoen Empire and the Ferros Empire, which belonged to the concept of the continent'', are not enemiespeting against each other, but colleagues who must fight against external enemies by joining forces. In the future, if the two empires join forces and nt our gs on all continents step by step, wouldn''t that alone make the territory of our Shoen Empire vast enough? That''s how the huge wheel of fate that no one can stop begins to turn. It was expected and prepared to happen approximately 10 years after theunch of the service. Opposing the sudden continental integration, branch managers and high-ranking executives tried to prevent it somehow. A prelude to a chaotic world that will turn the entire unified continent into a huge fire. It was starting to y at this moment. [Continent integration main scenario has been created.] [Act. 1 Era of Anarchy.] Chapter 270 Chapter 270 Secret Friend''s Dignity Shouen Empire''s imperial family and ndestine ns being made among the aristocrats. However, they were not only happening between certain empires and kingdoms. [They''re from another continent... I''m a bit reluctant.] [To think there''s another person in thisnd who calls himself the emperor of the empire. It''s arrogant.] [Now is not the time to fight each other inside the continent. You have to look outside.] Eight continents suddenly merged without even knowing each other. Therefore, unlike adventurers, NPCs who were born and lived here but did not know about its existence showed stronger fear and repulsion than curiosity about the unknown existence. Especially in the case of nobles who already had enormous wealth and powerful power. That''s why Ellis, who was contemting what was happening all over the continent of Arcadia, which is as huge as the Earth, made a decision. Sooner orter, the story of a huge narrative that will confuse the entire continent will begin. [Continent unification main scenario.] [Act. 1 Era of Anarchy.] So what do you want me to do for you? Lee Mi-yeon asked to meet up out of the blue and sent a call toe to a secluded and deserted cafe. Although he was taken aback by her sudden contact, Jaeyoung made an even more absurd expression at her request. Please stop the main scenario. There are many quests that exist in Arcadia. This quest, which is created, deleted, and changed in real time, was divided into several grades depending on the scale. Vige - City - Territory - Country - Continent. Quests at a level that causes profound changes in a small vige, a city, a manor, or even an entire country or continent. From simple errands to continental wars that stake the fate of entire nations. However, among these various quests, few were given the name of a main scenario. [Act. 1 The Forgotten Darkness Begins.] [Act. 2 Witch Hunt.] [Act. 3 New Continent.] [Act. Four Continental Wars.] A huge narrative that goes beyond one country and brings about changes and influences the entire continent. Jaeyoung asked with a bewildered look at her words to stop the main scenario taking ce on a stage so huge that only the highest level of difficulty and an individual could not bear to do anything about it. I''m not asking you to solve the main scenario... you want me to stop it? A strange request for the president of a gamepany toe out and ask for a secret meeting. So Jaeyoung tilted his head and asked. I dont know what the situation is... but cant we just delete or block the main scenario? I dont know why you came to me and asked me this. President of Arcadia Co., Ltd. who has full authority over operation and service. Jae-young thought that with her authority and strength, she could achieve what she wanted, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled bitterly at his question. If that was the case, I wouldnt havee to Jaeyoung in the first ce. What is that... Arcadia Co., Ltd. is responsible for the overall operation of the game called Arcadia, but does not have full authority over the development. yes....? Gamepanies without development rights. It seemed like an unimaginably absurd story, but Jaeyoung put on a serious expression as he looked back at the events of the past that suddenly passed through his head. Come to think of it...something was strange. The countless atrocitiesmitted by Jaeyoung. If it was a normal gamepany, there were many things that were so absurd and excessive that it would not be strange to cut it right away or wield the mace of a permanent ban, but strangely, thispany did not impose any sanctions on Jae-young. No, on the contrary, I was anxious to coax him out somehow. [Let''s cooperate with each other. Jaeyoung is in the game and I am in reality.] Jaeyoung recalled that she had reached out to each other to be secret friends. And finally, with a serious face, he asked her. Then, is Arcadia really unable to interfere in the game in any way? When asked if there was any way to intervene in the situation in the game, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a slightly ambiguous expression. Um... I can''t tell you everything, but I''ll tell you this. It would be possible for top developers, but they say they have neither the will nor the interest to do so. Jack, the creator of Arcadia and one of its top developers. Alice, an artificial intelligence that observes, analyzes, and manages everything in Arcadia. The genius boy Kim Min-soo, who is the creator of Phenopsis Dream and the Sixth Sense Project, created it all. Since no one with the authority to ess the game had any particr awareness or concern about what was happening inside, there was no particr way to do anything about it, even in the position of President Lee Mi-yeon. No... what the hell is going on in the game? Jae-young, who has been concentrating on living in the present life by focusing on college and department sses. That''s why I connected asionally, but I was really peacefully enjoying the game without doing anything special, so President Lee Mi-yeon''s words were all the more out of the blue. Hmm... I guess I should start by hearing the answer to my request. President Lee Mi-yeon takes out a rather heavy wad of paper from the bag. At her words, Jaeyoung asked. Is this a problem that I can handle? I dont know. But one thing is certain. If it''s a problem that Jaeyoung can''t do anything about, no one will probably be able to stop it. In the game, users boasting that they are a hidden ss and a high-level top ranker, create guilds, and fight fiercely for power. However, in President Lee Mi-yeon''s eyes,pared to the young college student sitting in front of her right now, they were literally inferior to a candle in front of the sun. It''s just that there is no concept of level, so it doesn''t exist in the rankings. It''s because Jaeyoung-gun is overwhelmingly superior among billions of users without losing any ofbat power, influence, wealth, or fame. He umtes tremendous probability, uses it in a timely manner appropriate to the situation, and extracts maximum efficiency. President Lee Mi-yeon was convinced that if Jae-young, whose job title was a wanderer in troubled times brought about numerous incidents without shame, the main scenario created this time would somehowe up with a solution. Well... I don''t know what the hell you''re asking me to do so far, but I get it. A promise is a promise, so I will do my best. Jae-young, who will try to keep the bteral contractual rtionship that mutually helps each other. At his words, President Lee Mi-yeon handed over the wad of paper she was holding in her hand and started talking. After the recent continental unification, strange signs have been detected simultaneously on all continents. Information about the existence of the World Tree, other continents and the various countries that exist there is spreading rapidly through adventurers. Jaeyoung is reading dozens of pages of the report with serious eyes. His eyes widened when he saw the title of the main scenario written on the confidential document while listening to CEO Lee Mi-yeon''smentary. [Continent unification main scenario.] [Act. 1 Era of Anarchy.] Wow..... is this real? The first continental unification main scenario. The urrence of a superrge scenario affecting all 8 continents... in other words, all of Arcadia and billions of users. It seemed incredibly interesting, but after checking the details, Jae-young could understand why President Lee Mi-yeon wanted to prevent this scenario. Certainly... a scenario like this would be premature. anarchy. The situation of each continent, which was in a strange bnce with the empire of mighty power and fierce and tense checks under them. But that delicately tuned equilibrium copsed in an instant. Due to the emergence of huge continents beyond imagination that we never knew about. That''s why I''m trying to ask Jaeyoung-gun like this. If this huge chaos, which was expected to happen at least 10 yearster, happens now, there will probably be an enormous conflict between users on each continent, and if that happens, the situation will be moreplicated. People who have just started interacting with other users around the world. Fantastic Universe and the World''s First Fighting Tournament were held so hard to open a ce of harmony between each other, so President Lee Mi-yeon wanted to prevent this main scenario, which would be a seed of turmoil, if possible. First of all... I know what you mean. Considering the lifespan of the game, it would be better if such arge-scale scenarioes out a littleter. Jaeyoung agrees that this is not the time yet. Deciding to participate in this work, he asked CEO Lee Mi-yeon. Then what exactly do you want me to do? Jaeyoung asks for specific directions. To him, President Lee Mi-yeon put some photos on the coffee table and said. Currently, it is assumed that the triggering event for the main scenario of this chaos will be the Shoen Empire''s invasion of the Gael Federation, which borders the Shoen Empire. It has not yet been confirmed with certainty, but if that happens, the war will spread beyond the two countries to the entire Korean and Japanese continents... and to the entire unified continent of Arcadia. Korean continent and Japanese continent. and maind China. The Gael Federation, where these three continents meet exquisitely. Convinced that this ce would be a huge powder keg of Arcadia in the future, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said to Jae-young with a determined look. Please protect the Gael Federation. And, by any chance, if the Shouen Empire starts a war... please end that war as quickly as possible. A request that seemed too far-fetched for an individual user to do. However, in Jae-young''s head, various measures to realize President Lee Mi-yeon''s words began to emerge. Ummm... Can I just do that? yes. No matter what happens, you must never let the influence of the Shouen Empire dominate the Gael Federation. That''s... maybe it''s because of the reaction of Korean users, right? I cant deny that. No, why the hell did they put Japan and China side by side even if they unified the continent? Anyone looking at this would see it as just telling them to fight each other. Korea Japan China. The continent of Pangea, where the continents that the users of these three countries are ying on are attached to each other. Looking at it, Jaeyoung grumbled as if he couldn''t understand it at all, but he nodded his head and agreed. Anyway... I get it. Even if it''s a bit annoying, I''ll try to prevent the worst situation somehow. Jae-Young is already good at inciting war and cheating. It would be possible to wipe out the troops of the Shouen Empire alone by using the spirit, but even if it wasn''t, I didn''t think it would be too difficult because there were human resources avable. If things don''t go well, I can ask the fucking perverts for a favor.'' Of course, it was terrifying to imagine how much more filthy and disgraceful he would lie down with. After hearing the answer she wanted, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said with a satisfied smile. thank you. After all, making a deal with Jaeyoung before wasnt a wrong choice. Unlike the whining and whining employees who say they don''t have authority, she joined hands with Jae-yeong, who can exert influence on Arcadia by stepping out first. However, there was something that CEO Lee Mi-yeon overlooked. ah. But I have a question. yes. something? if.... If you don''t like it, can I wipe out the Shouen Empire itself? ..... That level doesnt cross the line, is it just fine? The fact that the concept of a certain degree of goodness that Jaeyoung thinks of herself goes well beyond the category that ordinary people think. Chapter 271 Chapter 271 The Federation of Gael (1) During the months Jaeyoung lives in her current life and focuses on university life. Inside Arcadia, many things were changing. Which continent is this on? Is it Chinese? Oh! really? that''s interesting. Adventurers began to freely travel to and from other continents. Hey, take a look at the newly opened intercontinental trade route. I think I might be able to break through the trading license if I mix it well... What rare treasures do you think there are on other continents? Merchants began wandering around in search of special goods on an unknown continent. Unknown continents that have begun to be revealed little by little by adventurers who have begun to travel to and from many continents. But somewhere, unknown to them, something bigger was starting to move. Whoops. Holy and Great Heaven. The ruler of that ce and the glorious Aspect Archangel Michael who leads all celestial beings. While Jae-yeong, the contractor, was absent, she returned to the main body in the heavens and was taking care of various tasks that had been put on hold. [The number of people who pursue justice and upright beliefs has decreased considerablypared to before. Send new guardian angels to various parts of the Arcadia continent to help them walk the path of goodness.] [The number of souls of those who pursue goodness with sincere faith is stagnant. We need toe up with a solution to this.] [Sister Gabriel, pass on your wisdom through the saint. The recent merging of all the continents into one is also ording to the will of the Almighty God, and it is not something to be feared. He constantly ordered the measures necessary to maintain the celestial influence and the constantly iing amount of probabilities. Michael, who was dealing with such diverse and scattered problems. There was an angel who spoke with concern to her. [Recently, the trend of the baby bats is unusual.] Uriel, the Archangel of Justice. An angel with the most aggressive andbative tendencies, a member of the bats, and always at the forefront of battles with them, she recently spoke with a displeased face at the whispersing from within Arcadia. [The warlock and other minions of those evil bats are robbing the souls of the innocent. In addition, suspicious trends that seem to be plotting something among the high-ranking corpsmanders in the Pandemonium continue to be detected.] Mysterious murder cases that have recently urred all over the continent. Ordinary humans were unaware of it, but Uriel and other angels could clearly feel it around these corpses. The unpleasant magic of darkness that is filled with a sticky and pungent smell. After collecting this series of information and doing her own research, she was confident. [It seems that the demons of the underworld are preparing to do something behind our back.] While doing so, she spewed a white zing torch and said to Michael. [If you permit me even now, I will go to the Pandemonium right away and turn all those bats who plot mean and cruel plots to ashes and return.] Uriel is determined to invade the Pandemonium immediately and make all sorts of fuss. However, others objected to her words. [It doesn''t seem necessary, Mr. Michael. If you look at the level of providence and causality at which Heaven can intervene, it is a waste that exceeds the appropriate level.] Metatron, the Aspect of Truth and Bnce that manages the probability of Heaven. Like a strict ountant, she scribbled something on the old-fashioned parchment and refuted Uriel''s words. [As I expected, there is not that much room for the Pandemonium to intervene in Arcadia. In a situation where you don''t know exactly what they''re plotting, it''s better to intervene with overwhelming force and thwart their ns when they reveal their true colors than to attack them preemptively. Also.....] Metatron that you have to be strategically patient in order to effectively use the probability of the celestial world. At her words, Uriel expressed his opinion as if he did not like it, but Michael cut off both of them and said. [I understand what the two sisters are saying. But right now, it seems better to wait as Sister Metatron said.] [Mikael!] [Sister Uriel''s concerns and concerns are fully understood. However, considering the fact that the bloody bats are bing more reckless than before, we need to be a little more cautious. And even more so after the huge variable called the World Tree appeared.] In the past, the Heavens boasted an overwhelming influence and dominated the Arcadia continent. However, in recent years, thendscape has changed little by little. Adventurers who created a dark kingdom and formed a huge force. heaven and hell. The world tree is gnashing its teeth with malice towards both ces. And even the spirit realm and fantasy realm, where channeling has been restored and its influence is noticeably recovering. Unlike before, it was so clear that there would be more frequent situations in which Heaven would actively intervene, so Michael felt that he should not overexert the current probability. [Don''t be too impatient, sister. In this war, we will win in the end. As always.] * * * Phew..... Michael returned to Arcadia after severing the connection with Heaven. When she opened her eyes, the first thing that greeted her was none other than Tan. uh. Are you here? Two dainty horns. And he has the appearance of an imp with short bat wings. In a way, it was small enough to feel cute, but Michael''s eyes looking at such a tan were filled with only sincere contempt and disgust. Why are you idling around here like this? Tan, who would normally have to go back to the main body and deal with overdue work like himself. However, as if he had been spending time alone in a bored state for a long time, there were piles of small stones in front of him. The other day, I gathered the kids together and had a st. So I''m letting you hold your breath for a while. also? What kind of kids do you manage like that? The two rulers of the demon world and the celestial world. I didn''t know each other very well because I didn''t have that many things to talk about, but surprisingly, the systems of the two ces were so different that they were so pr opposites. Unlike the heaven world, which solves problems through dialogue and rationality and chooses a direction, the demon world is truly ignorant and handles everything through violence and force. When L asked Tan with an uncivilized look at Tans words that he ordered the gathering, Tan muttered in an annoyed tone. Ah, dont care what others do, do your job well, you damn chicken. Tan shows a sharp reaction with a stern look. Looking at him like that, L suddenly remembered Uriel''s report and asked straight away. Hey Tan. Why do you keep talking and annoying me? Normally, when Jaeyoung is not around, the two of them are ufortable and awkward, not saying a word. But this time, El strangely kept talking to me. You... are you not doing something strange behind my back? what? What the hell are you talking about? Tan turned his head and asked back. Michael''s head started to spin rapidly as he looked at him as if he really didn''t know. I heard a strange story today. Sounds strange? What? what else? Tan asks what kind of nonsense that is. At his reaction, El shrugged his shoulders. I can''t tell you that much. But remember this one thing for sure. The moment you engage in strange tricks in Arcadia, the heavens, including me, will mobilize all possible forces to stop what you are trying to do, and even more thoroughly retaliate. Remember your goddamned god. L conveys a determined will to punish even if the roots of the pirs of the heavens are pulled out. Her unblinking fight got up in a fit of fuss. No, this chicken kid really wants to see you, so he suddenly quarrels with the devil who is still. Do I show you the time to hear things like that? Even so, among demons, Tan is the best among demons. Even so, he was a noble being who received tremendous treatment in a powerful and dignified position where there were only a few people who dared to look straight into his eyes in his realm of Pandemonium, so he red at El with a stern face and growled. However, L is not at all intimidated by his threats. She put on a worried expression for a moment, then nodded and smiled. huh. Do you think it''s time to hear something like that? Ha... This bastard is really..... He''s been looking at me cutetely, but that''s not going to work. Fire. Tan prepares for a fight by lighting up hellfire and spitting on both hands. But at that moment, a bright halo of light rose between Tan and El. Whoops. And their contractor, Jae-Young. When he logged in, Tan was so mad that he forgot to fight El and rushed to him as if he was happy. master! I''m here? Oh Tan. Didn''t everything go well? then. But why arent you staying in Arcadia these days? ah. I have a lot of things to do in another dimension. Tan and L recognize that only adventurers have a separate dimension. No matter how it is, I have to think a little about my position as I am bound here by the contract with the owner. uh? If you don''t give probability like this and don''t let it do business, it''s a little bit like that? uh? Tan''s question expresses strange regret at the recentck of connection due to living in the present life. However, Jaeyoung shook his hand as if he had no time to ept suchints. By the way... I think I''ve found a ce I need to go to. hmm? where? Where are you nning to go? Recently, Jae-young, who has been wandering around with no particr destination. Hearing that he had a ce to go, Tan and L asked curiously. Gael Federation. The Gael Federation...? Where is it? The two do not have much interest in each ce name of the vast continent of Arcadia. Upon hearing the name, L tilted his head to say he didn''t know, but immediately asked. But why are you going there? L can''t understand Jaeyoung''s behavior that suddenly appears and tells him to go to the Gael Federation. To her, Jaeyoung honestly told her why he knew. Because there could be a war there. I was asked to stop it. what? War? What do you mean? The two make strange faces as if they hadn''t heard anything. Then El looked around at something with a strange expression and said with a frown. Are you sure about that? From what I can see, there is no such threat yet? [The pioneering n of thew of causality.] Her power to enable urate foreknowledge of the future. However, such a future was not pictured in her eyes yet. However, after confirming the rted information through President Lee Mi-yeon, Jae-young answered L''s question with a confident face. I dont know yet, but its likely to happen sooner orter, so you should be thoroughly prepared. So I''m going to go there right now. Such... L put on aplicated expression at Jaeyoungs words, who foresaw an invisible future even with his powers. However, Tan asked with a very innocent face whether he knew her thoughts or not. Master, what are you going to do there? Are you going to corrupt that ce too? Tan asks with a face as if he is looking forward to another bloody tragedy. In response to his question, Jaeyoung shrugged his shoulders as if he didn''t know. well? I don''t know how to fall... If things don''t work out, won''t we destroy at least one empire? Chapter 272 Chapter 272 Gael Federation (2) Arcadia The Gael Federation was located in the southern part of the Korean continent. Unlike other countries, this ce had a very unique political system. United State. There are no monarchs such as kings or lords, but those who are clustered in the form of tribes and ns and viges. Unlike other countries that had the form of a basic feudal system, only the Gael Federation was able to maintain this system because of the mana stones. Ah... was that the ce where mana stones were mined inrge quantities? that''s right. I heard that the mana stones produced in the Gael Federation are enormous, ounting for 80% of the amount circted on the continent. The Gael Federation produced an enormous amount of mana stones, almost monopolized. It was the only ce where mana stones of higher grade, which are said to be very rare, were found there, so the influence of the Gael Federation on the entire continent was enormous beyond imagination. Ho... but you still survived without perishing? I don''t think other humans will leave it alone... And mass that is full of hidden resources that are like golden eggs. It was an area that was too mouth-watering for neighboring countries with great power to leave alone, but surprisingly, even neighboring countries did not even think of touching the Gael Federation. What... almost perished? The war alone has been fought for nearly a hundred years. The Gael Federation, which has such a powerful influence that if one country monopolizes it, the continent will be turned upside down in an instant. As a result, they have been subjected to numerous foreign invasions throughout history. Perhaps, as far as I know, the Gael Federation lost its country in a war and the king changed a lot, right? In the worst case, the owner of the country must have changed more than 50 times in 20 years. It was a situation where the country was taken and taken away. In the aftermath of the Gael Federation, which suffered from foreign invasion, the production of mana stonespletely stopped, and the two forces began to rise with their heavy hips. [These bastards... they can''t experiment because they don''t have mana stones! Don''t do it in moderation?] [Too much blood is flowing because of human cruel selfishness and ugly greed.] The five magic towers are the most sincere than anyone else''s mana stones. Saint Empire, the den of fanatics who do not want to be involved for any reason. It was only when they showed signs of going to war on their own that the Gael Federation was finally able to regain its freedom. [From now on, the Gael Federation will let the people who lived there manage it. We do not allow any foreign intervention, and if a country vites this agreement, everyone joins forces and punishes with all their might . L, who was listening to Jaeyoung''s story, nodded as if agreeing. that''s right. No matter how noble and expensive a treasure is, if its value exceeds a certain level, it will turn into a dangerous bomb that no one can touch. The Gael Federation, which exudes an irresistible scent and tempts viewers to raise their spoons with a very appetizing appearance. But if he were a wise monarch with a head, he didn''t even dare to think of such a thing. If that happens, dozens of spoons will be raised and the entire country will be drawn into a bloody war. Anyway... So, the Gael Federation promised not to touch anyone, but after all the countries that ruled it got out of there, it seems that the people who originally lived there were also spoiled. [What kind of king, what kind of king every time. I''m sick of it now!] [That''s right. The kings don''t even know their faces, but they don''t do anything.] [Who really helps our vige? uh? Isn''t it our elder?] [Just let there be people who say things like kings and nabals. We live separately!] The Gael Federation consists of dozens ofrge and small viges. Those who had ruled as kings and aristocrats in it disappeared into history after receiving a true education from the people who strongly rebelled against and resisted the ipetent things of the past while trying to exercise their sovereignty and dominion again, and apletely new wind blew in here. [It''s a revolution!] [We are not ruled by kings! Overthrow the King!] [Don''t reign! Weed out those who are ipetent and unqualified!] Those whopletely reject the traditional ruling system by lineage. In addition to punishing ipetent politicians who were not able to protect the country for tens... no, 100 years, they were trampled and turned away, and instead clung to foreign powers for their own wealth and glory, they dered. [We are a republic!] [People living in every vige and city directly elect our representatives!] [Only the outstanding rule. However, it does not reign.] The birth of primitive democracy. This unconventional ideology that everything is decided ording to the ability of the individual, not the status, without a king and nobility, shocked the entire continent, but there was nothing to do. [Yeah..... To trade mana stones, you have to acknowledge their representatives...] [ So you mean recognizing the rebels whomitted such ridiculous acts of treason as monarchs?] [ If you set a precedent like this A simr thing may happen in our kingdom in the future.] An exclusive producer of mana stones. The protection of the Saint Empire and the 5 Great Mage Towers. A permanent non-aggression pact signed by all countries on the continent. The Gael Federation has no choice but to leave it alone, with various factors intertwined and twisted. That''s why this ce was able to maintain a deformed but unique political system, and it yed a role like a heretic in Arcadia, a traditional fantasy world. Hmm... thats amazing. While listening to Jaeyoung''s story, Tan muttered with an interesting look on his face. And at his self-talk, El asked with a nce. what? No, at first nce, isnt that the world that Carlos dreamed of? Pirate King Carlos. He dreams of an ambition to y all disgusting nobles and kings and turn the world upside down to free all those who suffer at the bottom. Tan was curiously interested in the appearance of the Gael Federation, which seemed to be no different from what Carlos had dreamed of. Um... thats not it. Maybe Carlos... is very different from what he thinks? Whats the difference? Carlos has hatred and revenge for the king and nobles, and he just wants to overthrow the existing world by taking all the outcasts from the bottom. But wouldnt that be a happier ending than I thought? Governing a country beyond a simple town or city. It was not something that could be solved with the sensibility and blood of a hot man in a simple fist-fighting manner. In the end, even if there are no kings or nobles, in order to make a country run properly, there will be people who have to y such a role. It''s a contradiction, but... a new ruler will emerge. An ending that can be found in countless simr historical cases in real life. And it was the same for this Gael Federation. No matter how ostentatious it may be, if there is someone who enjoys benefits with a special position and authority unlike others, how is that different from a king or a noble? Um... is that so? Tan twitches his nose at Jaeyoung''s words and is lost in thought. But soon, as if he wasn''t interested, he shook his head vigorously from side to side. Anyway, what the hell are you going to do there, Master? You are almost there. After traveling by carriage for quite a long time, Jae-young finally arrived at the road to the Gael Federation. Tan asked Yeon-sin Jae-yeong if he was frustrated because he had not told him what to do in detail yet. I''ll have to check the situation first. situation? what situation? The Gael Federation is still in a state where there are no signs that a war will break out yet. That''s why Jae-yeong only listened to President Lee Mi-yeon''s words, but didn''t know what exactly was going on here, so she didn''t think about what to do yet. First of all, lets look around and get a sense of the general atmosphere. There''s nothing to fight or sleep as soon as you arrive, right? A small city in the Gael Federation entered that way. Mechanium. Entering this ce, Tan and L were amazed at thepletely new appearance that they could never find anywhere else. Wow... have there been ces like this in human cities? Hmm... what a unique ce. A city full of mana stones. As if it were not a joke to say that they were responsible for supplying mana stones to the entire continent, these mana stones spread throughout thend were literally dyeing the entire city with blue magic. What do you mean light up the night? The whole city like this? A mana stonemp that brightly illuminates the darkening city at sunset. Looking at it, Tan looked around with startled eyes, but no one was surprised to see it. Hmm..... This is really amazing. A horseless carriage... Is this also using mana stones... Master, what are all the humans living here sorcerers? Why is it all so magical? It is strange that there are such highly developed magic items in a ce other than the Mage Tower. At his words, Jaeyoung murmured, recalling what he had heard from President Lee Miyeon. Perhaps... this is the most magically developed country in Arcadia? Hextech. Magic engineering, a study that allows ordinary people who cannot use magic to umte mana in their bodies to use magic, has been adopted as a key national task since the birth of the Gael Federation, and has received full support from the entire federation and tremendous Amidst the benefits, it was making leaps and bounds. It is said that anyone with outstanding talent will jump into magical engineering research. A quick and easy way for magic engineers to be most sessful here or something. The Gael Federation, who receives rewards and treatment ording to ability and skill, regardless of status. That''s why it didn''t take that long for people with tremendous talent toe in and stand out. wow! Is this really strange? There are smiles on peoples faces. Tan and L are distracted by strange objects scattered here and there and people walking down the streetughing hahahahaha. Jaeyoung, who had been wandering around with the two of them, came to a za in the center of the city without realizing it. Master, what are you doing over there? well....? People who gather in the middle and make noise. Feeling strangely curious about what was going on, Jaeyoung poked his head out through the crowd and inspected it. Are we fighting...? I think its just one-sided assault? A weak-looking young man with sses lying in the middle of a city square, bleeding. He suffered a serious blow to the head and fell to the floor, unable to get up. You unlucky bastard son of a bitch! Do you think our city would have lost in thisprehensive conference if you hadn''t just insisted on a strange theory? A group of angry people talking about something unknown. Seeing that they were wearing the same clothes as the young man who fell on the floor, they seemed to be the same colleagues, but their eyes were cold. What are you going to do! Because of you, our entire city''s subsidy and mana stone quota has been cut! How the hell are you going to take responsibility for this! right! right! right! The traitor of the city! Kill! Kill! The scene of the heartless People''s Court. In the midst of this, everyone is screaming at the unknown young man to punish him savagely with a mad face, as if he hadmitted something big wrong. Suddenly, El said. Dex-sama, can you save that child... right now? huh? what? L, who has a foreknowledge of causality. At that moment, something suddenly appeared in her eyes. With that young man who, if left unchecked, would be doomed to death among an angry mob. Among Jaeyoung, who is like this time bomb he is following. A gigantic causal storm spewing out the power to twist everything. That''s why El said with an iprehensible smile. Something interesting is about to happen. Chapter 273 Chapter 273 Gael Federation (3) Mechanium, a small town in the Gael Federation. Haimer, an ordinary young man who was born and raised here, was an outstanding magic engineer. If we can superimpose the magic circuit diagram, we can increase the magic efficiency several timespared to now. This is the magic umtion diagram I envisioned this time. How about making it this way? He has abination of intelligence and understanding that no one dares to follow. That''s why I was able to enter Steam Main'', the highest school of magical engineering, from a young age, and I caught everyone''s attention and stood out, but it wasn''t such a good thing. Sheesh. What do you think a young bastard knows about? Ha..... This project ispletely broken. He also conceived a much better circuit. No, what if you take all the subsidy by yourself? Are we just sucking our fingers? Colleagues around him who unintentionally suffered damage due to Haimer''s outstanding performance. Their envy and jealousy intensified day by day, but no one could hurt them because Dumble, the Master of the Steam Main School and the leader of the Mechanium, trusted him. Until now. Your Haimer ignored, deceived, and insulted me, the Steam Main School, and everyone in Mechanium in front of the representatives of all the cities of the Gael Federation. Do you admit that guilt? The scene of the People''s Tribunal. Dumble stood right in front of Haimer, who was lying there, looking down with cold eyes. Heimer, who was covered in blood at his words, muttered in a crawling voice with his mouth constantly opening. It''s unfair... Master... This bastard is still there! Dumble and his disciples are furious at his words. And soon, as if everything was useless, he raised the staff he was holding in his hand with a murderous look and said, You, Haimer, a magical engineer of the Steam Main School, have betrayed this city, your teacher, your colleagues, and everyone else and caused irreversible damage. Therefore, I emunicate you with the authority of the Master of the Steam Main School for your sins. Whoops. A dumble that charges a devastating orange beam with a powerful condensation of magical power. He said in a cold voice with a cold smile. Also, as the representative of the Mechanium and the supreme decision maker, I will execute you ording to the crime of treason. Pooh. Dumble wants to execute himself immediately after the death sentence. As soon as he finished speaking, the destructive beams pouring out of his cane flew without hesitation to burn Haimer, who was crawling on the floor, but something suddenly appeared in the middle of it, and it was unable to fulfill its purpose. Whoops. What is it? Who are you! An intangible membrane that blocked Dumble''s destruction beam. Seeing this, all the bewildered looked around and immediately found a person standing behind them. Anyway, I expected it because it was a democratic republic, but that''s what it is. A vige that doesn''t look much different from a barbaric feudal society. I don''t know if all of the Gael Federation is like that, but Jaeyoung, who watched the people''s trial in the town square and hung a person for ignorance, was able to draw a rough estimate. In what era are we judging so ignorantly? yes? Dont you know the saying, dont hit people even with flowers? Haimer copsed in a dying state and seemed to be out of breath in just a moment. ncing at him, Jaeyoung raised the power borrowed from El. Heavenly Hymn. Whoops. The mighty divine power that surrounds Heimer''s body along with the casting of the skill. As the highest level of recovery magic, which is said topletely restore even a person on the verge of death, unfolded, everyone around them widened their eyes. Poetry divine magic? What''s the priest of the Saint Empire doing here...? Up until recently, people who had given Jae-young grim eyes that seemed like they would tear him apart. However, as soon as Jaeyoung showed his divine power, their attitude began to change dramatically. If I touch the priest of the Saint Empire... I don''t know what will happen.'' It was almost a big deal. If I hadn''t known and had swung my fist... I might have really died...'' The residents of Mechanium trembled with expressions as if they were really X''s. Seeing this, Jaeyoung looked at L with a slightly absurd face and asked. What the hell is Saint Empires image, why do people react like this? Jaeyoung thought that if he was a priest or priest, he would feel respect, intimacy, or wee, but the expression they were showing was very different from hismon sense. fear itself. They were reacting as if a demon descended in front of them, and L shrugged his shoulders at Jaeyoung''s question. They must be people with a corner to be stabbed. An innocent person would have no need to be afraid, but a guilty person would certainly be afraid. Justice for the wicked. Blessings to the sages. El and her subordinates have a very strong concept of punishment. That''s why the priests of the Saint Empire were also thoroughly carrying out those teachings. I dont know the owner, but are those chicken wing idiots really crazy? If you think you''re guilty by their standards, just kill them all. The Saint Empire, which has no concept of moderation, where if it is judged to be guilty, it will be punished without mercy without mercy. That''s why those who had been conducting an irrational witch hunt in real time had no choice but to be intimidated. Ah... is that why you are so frightened? Are you afraid I will destroy them all? Jaeyoung has no idea. However, when I stared at the crowd with expressionless eyes without any inspiration, they froze in shock as if they hade with a different feeling. Great servant of the Saint Empire, I am Dumble, the representative of Mechanium here. Dumble spoke first in the suffocating silence. He smiled kindly and greeted Jaeyoung as politely as possible. Well... I wonder if I can y along with the rhythm, right?'' Those who seem to be mistaken for high-ranking priests of the Saint Empire. Even though he had nothing to do with it, at this moment, he was a high priest of the Saint Empire so perfect that no one could doubt it. [Apostle of Salvation, Mercy.] In the past, Mercy, a priest who devoted his life to helping all the sick and powerless, wandered all over the continent and did good deeds. Her devotional actions caught the eye of El and even granted her divinity as an apostle''. Her power was so powerful and sacred that no one dared to doubt it. This is Dex, the high priest of the Saint Empire. Jaeyoung epted Dumble''s greeting and introduced himself. Dumble''s expression becameplicated at the mention of Saint Empire, and he asked cautiously. May I ask why you came to this city? Priests of the Saint Empire who cannot be easily found on a daily basis. It was not something to be taken lightly that a high-ranking priest who could only be found at the church headquarters in a major city appeared in person in such a small city. However, at Dumble''s question, Jaeyoung smiled and asked back. There is no particr reason. It just moves as God wills it. Rather... may I ask this poor child why he is doing this? Hymer''s body has beenpletely restored by heaven''s hymn. He got up from his seat, unable to hide his surprise, and hesitated, not knowing what to do in this awkward and ufortable situation. That''s it... Dumble was taken aback when asked directly what was going on. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung pointed his finger at Haimer and asked. Will you tell me? Is that me? When asked to exin the current situation to himself, Haimer asked back with a rather embarrassed face. In response to his question, Jaeyoung smiled and nodded. okay. It seems like you said you were unfair... What is wrong with you? People who no one listened to or even tried to listen to them. In the midst of such an unjust death, when the mysterious priest who saved him listened to his story, Haimer began to reveal everything that had just happened in a heartbroken heart. Hmm... So you mean that there is a Magical Engineering Society, and in the middle of an argument with another school, you sided with the rival school? A magical engineering school that has been divided into several schools. The conference, where they all gather and present each other''s achievements and research results, was the most important event of all. It was also a battle of pride between the schools, but with the achievements here, it was possible to obtain high-grade mana stones and enormous research subsidies, which were produced in very small quantities every year, so for the development of the city and the growth of the school, it was necessary to enter the rankings regardless of means and methods. . Oh, it can''t be helped! Contrary to what we thought, it has been clearly proven in the experiments of the opposing school that the conductivity of mana has a greater effect on the efficiency of magic circuits than the level of mana stones. Haimer chose his conviction as a schr between his conviction as a schr and realistic interests. However, at his remark, Dumble burst into anger again. This damn bastard... so! Was it right for us to humiliate you at the ce where everyone is gathered, saying that our research for a full year was wrong? If it wasn''t for you, our Steam main school wouldn''t have suffered such a humiliating situation. If it wasn''t for you! How is it! Master said that as a magical engineer, you need to have the attitude to learn new things without being ashamed of your mistakes! This baby ..... I have to look at the situation too! situation! Heimer, who fights against evil, and Dumble trembles while ring at him with fierce eyes. Looking at the two of them, Jaeyoung let out a sigh. Haa..... Well, I know roughly what the situation is..... Haimer throws away his social life and runs the dog My Way as he pleases. Of course, his teacher wasn''t right, but Jae-young, who realized that it was an ugly situation where no one could say he did well, looked at L with eyes that still didn''t know and asked. Why the hell did you ask me to save a guy like that again? Suddenly, L urged Jaeyoung to save him. However, Jae-young began to feel a bit of regret at his behavior, which seemed to be more troublesome than he thought. Hmm... I dont know yet, but this one thing is certain. If you keep that child by your side and watch him grow well, it will be a great source of strength for youter. L, who always gave meaningful advice. He asked because Jae-young had roughly noticed that she could see something that others couldn''t. Like that shit hand? I dont know that much, but it will be useful for now. Um... is that so? At those words, Jaeyoung thought about various things in his head and started tapping the calctor carefully. It''s ambiguous.....'' Haimer, who is an NPC different from those he has helped so far. Of course, he had helped Carlos before, but in his case, he was already building a powerful force called the ck Pirates, and he was a strong force that couldn''t be ignored even in Arcadia, so it was worth investing in, but the person Jae-young needed to help now was different. I don''t know exactly... Magic engineers arepletely productive jobs...'' Jae-young, who had been thinking for a moment, made a decision and looked at the two fighting aung daung. hey. Didnt you say you were emunicating this child? yes....? Dumble asked back with a puzzled face at the sudden question. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jaeyoung with questionable eyes. It is, but... Why do you ask that..... Then this child has nothing to do with this city and the Steam Main School? People looking at Jaeyoung with eyes as if asking why. Feeling their gaze, Jaeyoung pointed at Haimer and said. Then just give that child to me. yes....? What is that? Everyone, including the person concerned, asked with puzzled eyes. It''s like the situation where you don''t even think of the person to give you rice cakes, but you drink kimchi soup first. Dumble hesitated to answer with an ambiguous face, as if he could not dare to refuse because the high priest of the Saint Empire is not such afortable existence. And seeing Haimer standing next to him with a very uneasy expression, Jaeyoungughed. why? Do you not want to follow me? Uh... that''s... Heimer blurted out the end of his words, as if he didn''t say anything good even after he died. In response to his reaction, Jaeyoung asked brightly with a smile on his face. Do you want to be judged by the people and die here? Or will you just follow me? Haimer followed Jaeyoung like that. However, he bitterly regretted that choice shortly after. Just wondering if it would have been a morefortable life to be beaten to death by an angry crowd. Chapter 274 Chapter 274 Heimer, the firepower geek (1) Arcadia, another world where magic exists. The existence of a wizard in a virtual reality so perfect that it is indistinguishable from reality fascinated countless users and led them to the path of magic. - If you''re a man, you''re a wizard. It''s a fantasy game, but what does that mean if you don''t use magic? -I have to be a great wizard and wipe out everything! Hehehe!!! Users who each had grand dreams and dipped their feet into the romance of wizards. Even with official statistics, it was an overwhelmingly popr job to the extent that a high-ranking executive at Arcadia mentioned that the job most beginners choose was wizard, but surprisingly, there were not many people who continued to y as wizards. -Why is Mana running so badly? - Oh shit. There''s nothing you can do with just a few spells, right? -50 silver for one low-grade mana potion? isn''t this crazy? - Ha ha ha ha ha You can''t even cover the price of potions by hunting? Mana, the most essential energy resource when using magic. However, there was no way that a newly changed wizard could have that much mana, so after using magic a few times, they had no choice but to struggle while looking at the mana gauge crawling on the floor. -what''s this. In the end, you have to continue resting until mana recovers naturally. -In terms of DPS, I don''t think it''s even half as good as a warrior with a sword..... -Are you kidding me? The game just won''t work if you don''t spend money on it. Mage became famous as the ss that the most beginners choose ording to official statistics. However, as time passed, the situation waspletely reversed as it became clear how extremely hardcore the wizard''s job was. -Wizard? If you have a lot of money, you should do it. -A premature ejaction shack who can''t do anything after using magic a few times hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha The path of a novice wizard suffering from low magical destructive power and low mana. Even if they somehow managed to survive the difficult times with money and time, what unfolded in front of them was not a flower road, but a more difficult thorny road. -I need a magic book. Please..... 4th circle magic book urgently. -I need a circle 3 magic book. - Awesome All magic books of Circle 3 or higher are purchased at the highest price. 24 hour standby. Cash & Gold avable. -5th circle magic book is 2000 gold? Whose dog''s name is 200 million? really kidding There are overflowing wizards all over the continent, and a limited number of magic books inparison. Due to this extreme imbnce, scarecrow-like wizards who have risen in level but cannot learn the magic of the upper circle began to be mass-produced, and as a result, hoarders and merchants who want to take part in the increasing value of magic books joined in, and the price of magic books itself went crazy. started to explode. -I''m a wizard, but I sold the 5th circle magic book. A wizard who enjoys Arcadia in a small way. I learned circle 5 magic by chance. The fly magic, which is also famous for being rare. At first, I tried to learn, but the price of the magic book was 700 million won? I was a little concerned about it, but I didn''t think this was the case, so I disposed of it. Thanks to you, I''m looking for an apartment with my wife ^^. Now I don''t nag at Arcadia, and I''m really happy. The price of one magic book is jumping to the level of an apartment in the metropolitan area. However, despite this, Arcadia Co., Ltd. said in a firm tone, as if it had absolutely no intention of increasing the number of magic books. [Arcadia is another reality. As I said before, not everyone can be a high mage. If magic books are arbitrarily mass-produced just because users want them, the presence of high-ranking mages will increase that much, and this will cause a huge confusion beyond imagination.] From Circle 6 onward, Arcadia is treated as a great wizard . Most of the current mage users are in the 3rd or 4th circles. The top rankers were staying in the 5th circle, but as time passed, their level was bound to rise more than they are now, so Arcadia Co., Ltd. cut it out. [The reality is that not everyone can be a high-ranking mage in order to bnce the power at a certain level. Rather than suffer in that fiercepetition , why don''t you try adventuring in Arcadia as a job other than a wizard? However, despite the strong rmendation of the administrators, those who dream of bing wizards did not give up on their dreams. [A wizard is just like a doctor. 10 years from medical student to intern residency rolling and rolling like a dog and getting a professional license From then on, just like a flower path in life blooms, a wizard can only live a little bit of very and climb to the 6th circle, will his game life change? ] They say you can get a title and a title of nobility.] [Have you seen the magic the red dragon uses? In Circle 8, even a single city is erased.] Red Dragon Kervenian. The majesty that the elder dragon, the lord of magic and the transcendental species, showed in Ben, a hugemercial city on the Japanese continent, injected so-called mulberry into the wizards at a lethal level. [Key. This is what a true wizard looks like.] [I''ll have to do all sorts of things when I get to the 8th circle someday haha] [A big city can''t move with just one spell.] Thepetition among wizards has be fierce. However, unlike those users, NPCs who were originally residents of Arcadia developed magic in a slightly different way. So... in a sense, being a magic engineer is a practical way to use magic? yes. Basically, unlike adventurers who have been blessed by the gods, we are extremely rare people who can feel mana and store it in our bodies. It is the mission and goal of magic engineers to ensure that ordinary people can also benefit from magic. NPCs that only those with certain characteristics can be wizards. Therefore, this magic engineering, which was created around the Gael Federation, which had an abundance of mana stones, had a very unique appearance that waspletely different from the existing magic. Something like a steampunk worldview... Landscapes that feel as if modern civilization was forcibly transnted into the Middle Ages. Unlike other cities full of ordinary wooden buildings, the Gael Federation here had a look of modernization, just like the city where the industrial revolution began. So... these objects here are all made of mana stones, right? yes. We call these artifacts (Artifact), and it is the role of magic engineers to artificially inscribe magic circuits into mana stones to make certain phenomena manifest. Haimer looked around the city with a proud face as if he was proud. Of course, all the towns and viges of the Gael Federation were pleasant and extremely developed. Ho... this is amazing. It makes water automatically. What kind of magic are you using? I cook by making a fire with mana stones... It seems like a waste, but it looks quite convenient. You mean to improve magic and use it like this? After all, humans are unique. The Gael Federation is recing a lot ofbor with artifacts created by processing mana stones. Perhaps thanks to the efforts of these magical engineers, the faces of the NPCs living here seemed to be full of smiles. That''s why there are no serfs or ves in Gael Federation. Everyone is a citizen with equal rights and qualifications. Of course, there are a little closed aspects between cities and viges, and there are many difficult things. Haimer proudly exins the Gael Federation. At his words, Jaeyoung suddenly asked with a curious face. But why on earth were people so anxious to eat you earlier? Haimer was emunicated and almost beaten to death by the people of the city in a people''s trial. I don''t know the details, but from their conversation, I have a rough idea that he has made a big mistake. And at Jaeyoung''s question, Haimer smiled bitterly with a dark expression. Because of me, my vige camest in the academicpetition. Academic conference? Gael Federation''s Magical Engineering Conference. In the Gael Federation, the birthce of magical engineering and where magical engineers are the most important, this academic conference was a very importantpetition that determined the reputation of the entire city and the annual budget. So... the ranking is determined in the tournament, and mana stones and research subsidies are given to each city based on that, right? yes. Usually, if you are working on arge-scale project, you need a high-grade or top-notch mana stone, and the only way to get it is to rank in the top ranks at academic conferences. I have to do that, and I''m working on arge-scale project that can maintain the top rank next year. The vicious structure of an academic conference repeats a vicious cycle in which if the ranking drops, meaningful research cannot be conducted and the following year cannot be ranked. That is why this conference was the priority of magical engineers in every city. Because of what I said there, the project we had been researching for a year waspletely useless. Hmm... You mean that the rival schools admitted that what they announced was correct? yes. what was that The most important thing in processing mana stones is to increase the conductivity of mana, right? But there, we conducted research on the premise that the grade of the mana stone had an absolute effect. However, ording to the information published by the Camers School, it is said that it has been proven that efficient design of magic circuits is not very meaningful in terms of mana conductivity. Therefore... He didn''t even ask, but Haimer kept talking about the details. I didn''t want to understand or understand what he was saying at all, so I was walking in a daze, and the water was flowing through one ear, but Tan covered his ears with an irritated look and grumbled. Why does the owner talk so much? Is it worse than that woman who was said to be Angelina? As if his patience had reached its limit, Tan raised his fist and swayed as if he wanted to punch one. However, Haimer, who did not know whether the demon king was angry right in front of him, was chattering with a smile on his face. And then. A word of Haimer''s words, which flowed in and passed by like water, was strongly embedded in Jae-young''s mind. Even if it hadnt been for this incident in the first ce, I would have probably been kicked out. I was extremely dismissive of what I was researching recently, saying it was absurd, and I fought a lot this time over it. Haimer with a twisted personality who doesn''t mind confronting Dumble, the Master of the Steam Main School and the representative of the Mechanium he lived in. At his words, Jaeyoung stopped walking without realizing it. Ugh... why are you suddenly like that? Haimer almost fell when he suddenly stopped in front of him. He asked with a puzzled look on his face. Is there something you''ve been working on personallytely? Michael can read the flow of an unknown narrative and foresee the future. Instinctively sensing that this was the reason she asked to save this child, Jaeyoung turned her head and looked at him with serious eyes and asked. yes? Ah yes. But that''s something I came up with recently, and I haven''t tested it yet, so it''s just a real theory. Haimer stutters at Jae-young''s reaction, which is too serious, and shows a clear expression of bewilderment. But Jaeyoung raised his hand as if it didn''t matter and asked him to shut his mouth. Its okay, so tell me. What were you studying? Hearing that, Haimer hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a voice that sounded like an ant crawling. A theory about energy condensation using mana and bombardment using it. Magical engineer Haimer, a young man who was destined to die from being beaten to death by an angry dog, Dumble. However, his fate waspletely changed after meeting small coincidences and coincidences. The creator of the first magic bombardment system. The father of magic turrets thatpletely change the tactics and game of war. As a fan of firepower, he will gain notoriety and prestige throughout Arcadia. To his destiny as a Master of the Canonphilia school. Chapter 275 Chapter 275: Firepower nerd Haimer (2) [Theory of energy condensation using mana and bombardment using it.] A phrase written inrge letters on an old exercise book-like notebook that Haimer took out from his chest. The inside was filled with various unrecognizable forms and shapes in tiny print. And when he opened it, a system message appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [I can''t understand the contents because Ick intelligence.] [Failed to decipher the spell book.] The spell book...? I don''t know why, but the system recognizes the notes that Haimer has as magic books. Seeing this, Jaeyoung tilted his head with puzzled eyes, but Haimer looked at him with strangely expectant eyes and asked. how is it? Do you think it''s okay? His question seemed to be asking for praise. But Jaeyoung told him honestly. Um... I dont even know what you mean? Jaeyoung is not a wizard, much less a magic engineer. The game system was preventing him from even understanding Haimer''s research notes at his pitiful level of intelligence. Well... there''s no way a priest from the Saint Empire would understand anything rted to magic. Haimer knows Jaeyoung as a high-ranking priest of the Saint Empire. However, at his words, Jaeyoung said as if what he meant. I am not a priest? yes....? Haimer asked back with a more puzzled face at those words. However, Jaeyoung waved his hand as if it were real. Not a priest. I just lied to you to help you because I thought you were in a dangerous situation. What is that... Hymer stammered in surprise as if he couldnt believe his words. Then, suddenly recalling the situation from before, he shouted. It can''t be. The thing that healed me who was about to die... what the heck was that... He was fatally wounded and was on the verge of death. However, at that moment when his consciousness was blurred, the warm light that warmly wrapped his body was definitely divine power. It was also the highest level of priests with a gigantic level that I had never experienced before and dare not grasp that level. However, he denied the fact that he was a priest and asked Haimer with a sour expression. Is there aw that requires only priests to use divine power? Anyone can use it. What''s that... Jaeyoung''s words made Haimer move his mouth with a look that seemed to have a lot to say. Leaving him behind, Jaeyoung asked Tan and L, who were diligently examining his research notes. how is it? Do you know what I mean? Um... I dont know. Iknow, right. I am not very interested in human magic. Tan and El seem to havepletely different systems of magic. At that time, Jae-young is biting his lips, as they also do not seem to have a sense of exactly what is written in his research note. Suddenly, El asked with her eyes shining. Um...or would you like to talk to someone else? Others? who? When Jae-young asked what he was talking about, she smiled strangely and brought out a very familiar being. The same maker who made the Orca before. He is also the protagonist who caused the catastrophe of Kill the Dragon in the past. A celestial being that yed a significant role in defending against the 9th circle magic death order. Creator of the Tin Doll Orca. Geppetto. * * * Before the Gael Federation was created. Even in the past hundreds of years ago, in the territory of the Gael Federation, various schools of magic engineering were created and developed based on the abundant mana stones. Among them, the robotics school was the most popr and was evaluated as possessing outstanding technology. This school of robotics had an extraordinary ability to create human-like golems. [I''m going to make arge golem that can carry heavy things instead of humans.] [An escort golem to stop the invasion of monsters is fine.] [Why don''t you make a golem that can rece a horse?] Various ideas came up with various ideas. Those who worked hard to develop golems. However, among these magical engineers, Geppetto had a unique and special goal. [You want to make a human-like golem more than anyone else.] Geppetto, who devoted his whole life to magical engineering research. His creation was a tin doll orca that looked very much like the daughter he had lost due to an illness in the past. [Even if my soul disappears, it''s fine if I''m thrown into hell. However, please let Orca be remembered forever in heaven instead of me.] Geppetto took care of Orca left behind in Arcadia, even giving up his position. Thanks to Michael, who was greatly impressed by his sacrificial appearance, he, who was still resting in heaven, reappeared in Arcadia, the middle world, at a sudden call. [Did you find me?] Geppetto''s voice sounded like he was liberated. Unlike the others, he doesn''t seem to have much interest in Arcadia, and as if it''s too annoying, he asks Jae-young why he reincarnated himself. [I''ll tell you in advance, but I''m just an old man without any strength. Unlike other outstanding and brilliant heroes, he is weak enough to withstand even a horde of goblins.] He is a powerless, blue-cor magic engineer who has no fighting skills whatsoever. That''s why he seemed to be feeling a great burden on Jae-young, who called himself in a soul state. I didnt call you for that, so dont worry. I just need to give you some advice. Jae-Young opened the Hymer research notebook again. But this time I could clearly read what was written in his notes. [The required ability to decipher the spell has been satisfied.] [You have seeded in deciphering the spell.] [Caution. The magic book is iplete.] Unlike before, this time the magic book is written in Korean that Jaeyoung can read. But even so, the contents written in it were so esoteric andplex that I couldn''t understand it at all. A magic book filled with various unknown mathematical forms and forms. And in the case of the magic circuits drawn intricately in it, it was dizzy to the extent that my eyes were spinning around. However, a strange voice rang in Jaeyoung''s ears. [Hooh..... This is.....] Even if I read it in Korean, I couldn''t understand what it meant, but for the first time, Zeppetto showed interest to see if I could understand it. While reading Haimer''s book through Jaeyoung''s eyes, he muttered involuntarily. [Interesting..... Really interesting.] Why. Are you okay? Jaeyoung asked with a face full of expectations. The words Geppetto uttered at his words were beyond expectations. [I don''t know how much magic engineering has developed in this era, but it''s a really unique idea. Instead of converting the mana stored in the mana stone into other forms of energy, the energy itself is purely condensed and projected. You''vee up with an unusual idea at such a young age.] Although there are differences in time, Haimer''s research seems to be beyond the normal level in his evaluation. However, after reading his research notes to the end, Geppetto said regretfully. [But the level is still shallow. The magic circuit I''ve drawn here is also inefficient and has some fatal errors. If he did it exactly as it is shown here, he would have destroyed the entire area as well as theboratory while experimenting?] His theory still seems to becking. However, Geppetto gave a positive review. [The idea of concentrating and projecting mana energy is too risky, but the system itself, which detects and urately tracks the enemy''s location, is certainly excellent. If you use the magic circuit behind you properly, something useful wille out.] Really? Haimer watched with strange eyes at Jaeyoung, who kept muttering to himself. However, he was shocked to see him scribbling with a quill while holding his research notebook. First, let me tell you a few things that are wrong. An intricately drawn magic circuit. He muttered in disbelief even as he watched right beside him correcting some magic forms and symbols hidden in it with a red pen. How? Haimer belongs to the category of genius. No matter how young he was, he was so overwhelming that no one except Dumble could surpass his level, so Haimer had extraordinary pride and self-respect for his achievements. This way, we can maximize the output of the mana stone. However, the stability is so low that the energy itself can explode before projecting, so try changing it like this instead of like this. And... But... Jaeyoung goes beyond fully understanding the magic circuit, which is soplicated that even he is confused about how he did it, and is identifying and correcting the problem. Seeing such an unbelievable reality, Haimer had no choice but to admit it. The fact that there are plenty of monsters in this world that are beyond themselves. ruler. This would make it a lot cleaner. how is it? Do you understand? At those words, Haimer took a closer look at his modified magic circuit. And he could definitely feel the difference. It''s neat..... It''s stable and efficient...'' Haimer gulped and looked at the magic circuit. Looking at Jaeyoung, who was looking at him with happy eyes, L asked in a quiet voice. What are you going to do with this child? huh? How are you doing? Pioneer of causality. It was Michael''s powerful authority and power to see and foresee the flow of a huge narrative, but this fraudulent power also had a big problem. I can''t figure out the direction at all.....'' A huge causal storm whirls like crazy between Jaeyoung and Haimer. However, since he had no idea what kind of ending this colossal narrative would lead to, L subtly told Jaeyoung. No matter what, I want this child to use his powers for good and justice. A request to lead Haimer ording to the will Heaven pursues. And Jaeyoung noticed her intentions right away. It''s good.....'' At that, Jaeyoung suddenly looked at Haimer, who was examining his improved form with bright eyes full of anticipation. A young magic engineer full of passion and enthusiasm. Suddenly thinking of the role he should y, Jaeyoung smiled as if he had a good idea. Haimer. yes? Could you say Do you know that great changes have taken ce on this continent in recent years? A huge event imprinted on all NPCs on all continents. Continental Consolidation. To Jaeyoung''s question, Haimer tilted his head as he answered with an expression of iprehensibility. Are you talking about all the continents united into one? that''s right. And do you know the consequences of that? The result... yo? Haimer asked with a face, What kind of nonsense is that? Jaeyoung answered him with a strangely evil smile. There is a new continent and unknown strangers living there. But are those strangers livingfortably by making abundant amounts of mana stones and strange items? So what do you think? past. Haimer is well aware of the history of being exploited in countless wars and colonial times because of the huge amount of mana stones and struggling with blood and pain. That''s why he said with a hard expression on his face at Jaeyoung''s words. War will happen again...? Jaeyoung nodded lightly without saying anything. But Haimer shook his head vigorously as if he couldn''t believe it, or as if he didn''t want to believe it. It can''t be. There''s no way the Mage Tower or Saint Empire can stand still. Besides, other empires and kingdoms... Could beings frompletely different continents know such details? If you just eat something, it''s good. Even if the Saint Empire or other countries intervene, the war won''t end quickly, so can the Gael Federation remain as it is in the process? The Gael Federation created an unprecedented system called the Federation and enjoyed freedom within it. Jaeyoung whispered to him who was agitated with trembling eyes as if he did not want to lose it. With you and this theory, we can prevent that devastating war. My me? How... Magical engineering that is just a theory in fantasy that has not yet been empirically verified. However, Jae-young imprinted a philosophy that is like a view of life that he can never forget in his confused mind with a confident face. [Strong firepower is national power.] [Stronger, bigger.] [Firepower dominates the battlefield.] [The god of the battlefield is artillery.] [Firepower! Firepower! Firepower!] The Cannonphilia school dedicates their lives to making stronger and bigger magic cannons until the moment they die. The belief that prates their souls was thus created. Chapter 276 Chapter 276 A Dark n (1) Japan branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Director Kazuki, who is in charge of all Japanese users'' services, asked back without hiding his embarrassment when he received a sudden call from President Lee Mi-yeon. That... what does that mean? The Shen Empire could suddenly perish? [It doesn''t mean that it will happen necessarily, but it can happen, so you should be prepared.] She suddenly calls and says that the Shoen Empire, one of the two powerful empires and the main axis of the Japanese continent, is going to copse. Although the reputation of the ck Pirates had suffered a little damage recently, Governor Kazuki couldn''t believe her words when she warned that the country could suddenly perish because it was still a nation that boasted a mighty and mighty military power. I checked the data of the main scenario called Cruel Times'' sent by the president... but the possibility of it still manifesting is very low at 1.35%, and even if the scenario actually manifests, it is unlikely that it will develop into a major crisis on the side of the Shouen Empire. It is judged to be. The Shen Empire has not yet decided on a war yet, and opinions are divided internally, so no clear trend toward war has yet been detected. Therefore, the possibility of starting the main scenario that Alice judged was extremely low, and even if a war broke out there, it would not be bad for the Shoen Empire. If the scenario proceeds as expected here and the war spreads, wouldn''t the Gael Federation ultimately end up being taken over by the Shouen Empire? ording to Elise''s prediction, the Shouen Empire would rather benefit, not a scenario where they would lose money, boss. Alice can create hundreds of millions of predicted scenarios and derive the most likely oue ordingly. Looking at her data, Governor Kazuki questioned, and Ellis intervened in the conversation between the two. [Please consider that this scenario is the result of minimal user intervention. Since the variables of all users cannot be substituted, the progress and results of the scenario may differ greatly from current expectations.] Unlike before, a superrge main scenario in which billions of users have no choice but to be involved. That''s why Elise predicted the oue of the scenario in the best possible way, but that gave Governor Kazuki false confidence. How much stronger will the influence of the Shouen Empire be if yers are added to it? I don''t understand why you say that the Shen Empire can be destroyed. Rather, branch manager Kazuki looks at President Lee Mi-yeon on the screen with suspicion as if she is plotting something. To his words, President Lee Mi-yeon replied with a tired face. [That''s something I can''t say. However, if the Shen Empire starts a war, the result could be catastrophic that we can''t help it, so please be aware of that. If the Shen Empire perishes, pleasee up with a basic manual on how to deal with it.] President Lee Mi-yeon, who seems to be certain that the Shen Empire will perish. To her words, Governor Kazuki replied with a smile that gave off a sense of ridicule. Okay, boss. That won''t happen, but if you want, I''ll pass it on to the relevant departments so they have basic guidelines ready. [yes. Please do that.] President Lee Mi-yeon sighs resignedly and nods in agreement. Seeing her like that, Kazuki said with a triumphant face. Then Ill be off to do my job, boss. It''s because the Japanese government has be very interested in virtual reality devices these days. I guess I should get ready to go to dinner with the Minister of Education. Japanese consumers are obsessed with virtual reality. Originally, they were interested in imaginary content such as games, novels, and cartoons, so they began to fanatically fall in love with Arcadia and other virtual reality content that began to emerge little by little. - Explosive poprity. Japanese people are fascinated by virtual reality. - Active in fostering the Japanese government''s virtual reality industry. The goal of dominating the market with a preemptive offensive. - Large-scale investment by Japanesepanies. Virtual reality systems are rapidly being introduced. -Concluded a supply contract with the Japanese government of Arcadia Co., Ltd. The scale is 300 billion yen. The Japanese branch, which has grown rapidly with a huge amount of money invested, and has been raking in money with a pitchfork. That''s why the attitude of Branch Manager Kazuki when dealing with President Lee Mi-yeon was full ofposure. Anyway, the sales in Japan seem to be worth seeing. In fact, the fact that the government was able to push me so aggressively was that I, as the branch manager, kept my bnce as much as possible, calmly and wisely, apart from the situation in this chaotic game... He said that all of this was due to himself . Branch manager Kazuki talking. President Lee Mi-yeon listened to his story for a while and then stopped talking. [Be careful, Governor Kazuki.] Yes? What do you mean? He suddenly asked what he was talking about with an out of the blue look. However, President Lee Mi-yeon cut off themunication with a strange smile that I couldn''t understand and left thest words. [Because everything always goes in an unpredictable direction. Everything that happens in Arcadia and in reality.] [I hope you don''t forget that unless it''s God, we can''t control everything so it always goes the way we want.] * * * Kazuki left the office after hearing the warning from President Lee Mi-yeon . branch manager. Entering a super-luxury Japanese restaurant in Ginza, waiting for him was Koichi, the Minister of Education, and two aides in suits. Heh heh heh. Nice to meet you, Governor Kazuki. Please call me Koichi, Minister of Education. I am truly honored. heh heh heh I wish you all the best. Head of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, a key governmental body that oversees all aspects of education, science, and culture and sports in Japan. After exchanging business cards with Koichi, Kazuki finally sat down and continued to talk about various things while eating luxurious food that continued to be served. Heh heh heh. I am really looking forward to the future actions of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and Kazuki Branch Manager. Please make an effort so that all Japanese people can enjoy the benefits of virtual reality and take the lead. no. All of this was possible because the Prime Minister and the Minister of Education looked over and showed interest. Heh heh heh. In such a bright atmosphere, the two exchanging good words that lift each other''s sides. After the atmosphere had matured to a certain extent, and after drinking several sses, Koichi suddenly asked with his eyes shining. I have something urgent to tell you, Governor Kazuki... Yes. What would you like to say? I will listen. Branch Manager Kazuki listened closely to what he said. But he took one look at the people sitting at the drinking table and said in an iprehensible way. The seat is a bit like that... no. The unspoken message that there are too many listening ears. There was no way he didn''t know that, and Governor Kazuki immediately smiled and told the two aides he had brought with him. Dont you guys want to go to the bathroom? I don''t think I''ve been able to do my job properly because I''ve been sitting for a long time. And as soon as he said that, the two aides jumped up from their seats and said. Thats right. Actually, I wanted to go from a while ago... I will go too! The two hurriedly disappear from the room. Governor Kazuki gave the unspoken message not toe in while looking at the back of the two. After letting the two go, Governor Kazuki turned his head, and before he knew it, Koichi, who had sent his aides out and was sitting alone drinking a ss, came in. You are quicker than I thought. Koichi speaks in a slightly different way than before. But branch manager Kazuki also wasn''t that soft-tempered, so he dealt with his changes skillfully. If I hadnt understood what the Minister of Education meant, I wouldnt be sitting here. Kazuki, who has already experienced social life, has a rough idea of what this situation is like. That''s why he asked the Minister of Education with serious eyes. Can you hear what you want to say now? A story that everyone said they wanted to do while getting bitten. Koichi, who stared nkly at Governor Kazuki asking what that was, opened his mouth in a low voice. After the Japanese Empire was defeated in World War II. We have been lost and wandered for a very long time. The foreign military upied the country, and the army was forcibly disbanded, and it has not been able to recover its proper sovereignty until now. They are also being injected with mundane ideas that pollute the healthy Japanese mind. There is no other image of Japan uniting under His Majesty the Heavenly King. He speaks with a hazy face, as if recalling the golden age of Japan, which ruled over the Pacific and Asia in the past. Considering his position as the Minister of Education, Governor Kazuki''s expression hardened as it was a dangerous statement that could cause a huge controversy. And now everything is being eaten away. economy and science and technology. Even the things we were confident we had the upper hand on, we''re losing everything to that goddamn Josenjing! Koichi, Minister of Education. He felt unbearable anger as he watched the moment of great upheaval taking ce in Korea in recent years. -Ajin Electronics developed thetest semiconductor. Experts rate at least 50 years as advanced technology. -The first smartphone G-1. A great invention and innovation that changed humanity as a whole. -T Network Virtually dominates the world''s telmunicationwork. Overwhelming performance unrivaled by thepetition. - Announcement of the construction of a megacity in the underground of the Azin Group. Project name Underworld. Ajin Group, a Korean conglomerate and a traditional Japanese exportpetitor. However, at some point, they had grown to such an extent that they dared not evenpare with any Japanesepany. In this way, gradually all of Japan is walking down the road. The leadership of Japans brilliant cultural contents will be taken away, and it will be economically and technically subordinated to the Ajin Group and furthermore to Korea. The virtual reality industry is bound to grow explosively in the future. That''s why Arcadia and the Ajin Group, which has a stake in virtual reality technology, were literally blind. I dont know what the hell you want to say.... In my head, I instinctively send out a warning to get out of this situation. That''s why Governor Kazuki was struggling to leave after this conversation, but his thought circuit stopped for a moment at Koichi''s words that followed. The Prime Minister wants Japan to regain the lead in Arcadia and the virtual reality industry. Koichi reveals that even the Prime Minister, the head of the Japanese government, is involved. He poured all the remaining alcohol from his ss into his mouth and said with a twinkle in his eyes. And for that purpose, Governor Kazuki, I think you should y a big role. What is that... Kazuki, who felt that it was absurd, tried to get angry. However, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut when Koichi offered him a drink and asked. Think simple. Japan and itspany Which do you value more? national interest. The words of the Minister of Education to stand up for the benefit of Japan. At that moment, several thoughts passed through Governor Kazuki''s head. [Hohoho. How do we do what one Korean user went over and did?] [Infinite freedom. infinite possibilities. A dragon can destroy a city.] [Yes? A rollback? Governor, have you tried this once or twice?] [Sorry, but you don''t have permission to ess rted information. I can''t tell you.] President Lee Mi-yeon, who fucked herself dozens of times with a smile on her face. When he recalled her vicious atrocities, which told her to endure the catastrophe that took ce on the Japanese continent without providing detailed information, he epted his drink with a resolute expression as if he had made up his mind. As a Japanese citizen...if I can serve for the national interest, I will. With a private vendetta in his heart, he would somehow screw up the Koreans, including CEO Lee Mi-yeon. Chapter 277 Chapter 277 A Dark n (2) The Japanese Intelligence Agency. Cab Investigation Office. Although it was not a world-famous institution like the CIA in the United States or the KGB in Russia or the Mossad in Israel, it was undeniable that it was an organization that possessed the best informationwork of any other country in Northeast Asia. You mean we seeded in enlisting Governor Kazuki on our side? Prime Minister Abin, the head of the Japanese Cab. At a secret meeting convened in his name, Hajigen Chateau, head of the Cab Investigation Office, was reporting in detail the information obtained from thetest operation. That''s right. The influence of the Minister of Education himself was great. He himself expressed his position, saying that he would do whatever he could to do for the national interest of Japan. Kazuki noticed that the highest level of the Japanese government was involved in the matter. His sense of humor and social life, cultivated over decades of experience, were not sox, so he grabbed the golden rope that suddenly came down and appealed as best he could. And the information he provided was enough to astound the highest-ranking members of the Japanese government, including the Cab Office of Investigations. So, the entity that runs this Arcadia is not managed by the employees of the gamepany, but through an artificial intelligence system called Elise.... Is that what you mean? That''s right. In fact, most of the updates and system patches within the game are currently in a state where human intervention is minimized, and the management has stated that they do not have the right to intervene in the internal situation in the game. Absolutely wless artificial intelligence Alice. At one time, she was just a simple artificial intelligence that managed Hive, a secret research facility in Silico, but she was newly reborn by transnting the source code of Argos, a masterpiece of conversion created by Min-su, and she is another transcendental control beyond the scope of human understanding. it was a personality As a result of analyzing the story of Governor Kazuki, it was determined that the reason why Arcadia, which is being serviced by Arcadia Co., Ltd., was able to be realized was thanks to the existence of that artificial intelligence. And the level of artificial intelligence is currently being judged as super-artificial intelligence. Super-artificial intelligence? What the hell is that? Super intelligence. Machine intelligence that was created by humans, but infinitely evolves and improves one''s ego based on enormous information and far surpasses humans. The head of the Cab Investigation Office speaks with a very serious face about a concept that only exists in science fiction novels. Considering his position and his current position, there is a high possibility that this story is not a lie or a bluff, so the expressions of those sitting in the seat changed every moment. good. Let''s assume that artificial intelligence actually exists. Then, where is the artificial intelligence facility located? Did the asset know about the relevant location information? Prime Minister Abin calmly epts the head of the Cab Office of Investigation and seriously contemtes the future direction. However, at his question, Chateau shook his head with a dark expression. Unfortunately, I didn''t know anything about artificial intelligence. It seemed that he did not know key information such as where the artificial intelligence system is stored and who created or developed the artificial intelligence. Umm... Arcadia and the virtual reality industry suddenly opened to the world without any notice. After that, when he learned that there is a super-artificial intelligence system that mankind has not yet imagined, other names naturally came to Prime Minister Abin''s head. Ajin Electronics. Silicoff Bio Industries. Corporation Argos. Arcadia and the world''srgest corporations known as the actual owners of virtual reality technology and pioneers of electronic IT and biotechnology. Many experts questioned their sudden cooperation, but Prime Minister Abin could now understand the reason. Argos Silikov. and ajin electrons. The joint development of these threepanies was an artificial intelligence called Alice, and through it, virtual reality technology waspleted. If this is the case, it makes some sense. Prime Minister Abin muttered to himself while nodding his head as if all the puzzles had finally been put together. While he was lost in thought, the Chief Cab Secretary opened his mouth with a serious face. If so, is there any way to obtain rted technology from the Cab Investigation Office? I heard you are nning an operation to steal rted technology. A n to steal technology from Arcadia Co., Ltd., which is being prepared in retaliation against South Korea. However, because of their extremely demanding employment policy, the industrial spies they had prepared with great effort had not been used properly, so Chateau shook his head at the Chief Cab Secretary''s question. We dont have it yet, but we are constantly looking for effective ways in many ways. The situation continues to prepare for the operation in the Korean branch. However, no concrete and practical measures have yet beene out, but Prime Minister Abin nodded as if he was okay. Dont be obsessed with time, lets try to find a way. First of all, there seems to be a lot of harvest from this acquisition operation, so we need to calm down a little. All right. Prime Minister Abin, however, has changed a lot from the image of him who was mad and bloody like before, perhaps thanks to the great harvest. However, he quickly moved on to another subject with his eyes shining. So... other than that, there''s one more piece of information that Governor Kazuki provided? ah. That''s right. That''s... it''s rted to the situation inside Arcadia... The first main scenario chaos. Prime Minister Abin, who was epting and reading the information provided out of courtesy rather than courtesy by President Lee Mi-yeon, and the confidential information of first-level management authority, which Kazuki originally had no right to ess, stood out and summarized what he understood. . So... if the Korean continent is preemptively attacked by the Shouen Empire, the entire continent of Arcadia will be tainted by a huge war. Is this what you mean? That''s right. As a result of analyzing the information on the main scenario provided by Branch Manager Kazuki, the process and results of the scenario were organized in quite detail. Alice carefully selected and carefully selected the scenarios that were selected with the highest probability. The prediction ended with the Shen Empire winning andslide and taking huge profits. Hmm..... If the main scenario of the chaotic world happens, more than 34% of the existing countries on the Korean continent will be upied, and we Japanese and Chinese will share food with each other, right? After the unification of the continent, Korea and Japan and China, unfortunately, are adjacent to each other. That''s why it was so easy to imagine the appearance of those who would run towards each other if a war broke out. That''s right. Of course, since this prediction is a scenario thatpletely excludes user participation, it seems that there are some differences from reality. Chateau delivers exactly what Ellis warned. However, Prime Minister Abin, who had already started turning the happiness circuit, could not hear the words properly. If this is the case even without user intervention, isnt it possible to produce more results if users intervene? If the result is more than that... what do you mean... Chateau asked back with a face that didn''t quite understand. Prime Minister Abin said to him with a strange smile. The result of wiping out the entire Korean continent. What do you mean by that... The Chief Cab Secretary widened his eyes as if surprised by that statement. However, Prime Minister Abin muttered with narrowed eyes as if imagining something. Think carefully. Korea''s poption is at least 50 million. Our Japan is 120 million. In the case of China, it reaches 1.3 billion. If yers get involved in this war, how massive will it be? Just assuming a war between NPCs would be a scenario that would be extremely unfavorable to the Korean continent. So, if Japanese and Chinese users joined in, there was a high possibility that the imbnce would be severely skewed to one side. Hehehe... If that happens, those Josenjings will be left without a country again. The situation in which the main continent, which can be called their base, ispletely taken away. Prime Minister Abin, whoughed like a child as if he was happy just thinking about it, soon spoke to the Chief Cab Secretary in earnest. Can the Chief Cab Secretary Cyber Command be put into this operation? yes....? Cyber Command? The Self-Defense Forces were created to guarantee Japan''s defense and self-defense rights. When Prime Minister Abin asked about the Cyber Command, which was recently established under the Self-Defense Forces, the Chief Cab Secretary put on a puzzled expression. ording to what is stated here, the current scenario has only a 1% chance of manifesting. I mean, the situation is not good enough for this to happen yet. A chunky report with quite a bit of information. Prime Minister Abin, who picked it up and tapped it, said with an eerie glow in his eyes. Then we can directly induce the situation to happen. unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. An artificial intelligence system that automatically adjusts the stories created by users and updates in the game ordingly. Having grasped Arcadia''s basic operating system, Prime Minister Abin decided to utilize all of them. Immediately after this meeting, issue orders through Cyber Command. To spread and stimte all Japanese users with the message that Arcadia''s Korean continent must be attacked by all means and methods. propaganda agitation. Prime Minister Abin''s n to pull the fuse of war through it. However, at that crazy idea, the Chief Cab Secretary said with a really embarrassed face. In the case of this operation targeting the Japanese people, there could be an illegal possibility... What''s the big deal? Anyway, all conversations here and now and all future operations will be treated as strictly confidential. Agenda attached as a secret operation that no one can know. Illegal elements were rampant and the order was so iprehensible that I wanted to do it this far because of just one game, but Prime Minister Abin, who was already obsessed with the idea of wanting to fuck Korea, did not have such a reasonable question. We need to take this opportunity to remind those Josenjings of the superiority of the Japanese once again. Lets pass the rted information to the Chinese side in advance to see if they can cooperate with us. Prime Minister Abin reveals his hatred for Korea to the head of the Cab Office of Investigation. It wasn''t that he was ignorant of his far-right tendencies, but because Chateau was shocked, he answered with a very calm face, unlike the Chief Cab Secretary, who opened his mouth in a daze with a shocked face. All right. Remember everyone sitting here. Prime Minister Abin gets up from his seat when the meeting is over to some extent. He said with a very serious face, his cold eyes shining. This is also a war. In virtual reality, we will renovate the Japanese Empire so that it can seize the initiative, so that the glory of victory can be presented to both His Majesty the Emperor and the Japanese people. high! The highest-ranking officials of the Japanese government move in perfect order under Prime Minister Abin''s instructions. It was a meeting held in a secret meeting room managed with the highest security level, but no one knew about it. Anyone living in modern civilization owns Ajin Electronics'' masterpiece smartphone, the G series. The fact that there is someone who is eavesdropping on all their conversations through that smartphone. It is the mother of Alice who contemtes, monitors, and analyzes everything in virtual reality. An integrated intelligence surveincework that is widespread around the globe. AI Argos. The ce where they were secretly talking. It was a space that did not escape his eyes. Chapter 278 Chapter 278 It''s Not a Dragon (1) The G-1, the first smartphone developed by Ajin Electronics. The revolutionary level of G-1, which is different from the existing mobile phone, took over the world market so quickly, and the operating system Argos'', which is basically installed in this smartphone, created a new scbility and huge ecosystem called application. and monopolized all shares. [Ajin Electronics'' G series ounts for 92% of the global wirelessmunication device market. Also, in the case of Argos''s operating system, it reaches 99%. There is no precedent in history for apany to dominate the world market so quickly and at such an absurd level. The reason this was possible was probably thanks to the full support of the US government.] The US government was more active than anyone else in the spread of smartphones in its own country. At the national level, it paid outrageous amounts of subsidies, made it possible for US citizens to carry smartphones one by one, actively intervened in the regtions and sanctions of numerous foreign governments, and the Department of Commerce actively intervened. Argos helped him to y an active role. And as a result, the US government was able toplete one huge system. Project Prism. Integrated Intelligence Surveince System Eye of Argos. A backdoor system secretly built into the operating system program called G-1 and Argos. Through it, it was possible to collect all the information in the world without limit, and in the vast sea of information, they were able to find what they needed so much. [warning. Terrorism targeting the United States is imminent.] [Probability of urrence 99%.] [Please identify relevant suspects and evidence.] Proactively providing information and warning of all terrorists and criminals threatening national security. prevention system. Through this, the US government was able to achieve the splendid feat of catching and arresting dozens of terrorists and criminals every day, creating a safe nation unprecedented in history. And in the process, Argos also detected the plot of the Japanese government. [Detection of anomalies within the Japanese government.] [Conspiracy of threat to Arcadia.] [Risk level... ha. Threats to top managers 0%.] An extremely low-risk conspiracy. However, since the target was obviously apany closely rted to his owner and top manager, Minsu, Argos took additional measures voluntarily. [Provides rted information to Alice.] An existence that is like her alter ego and another virtual reality. To provide that information to the artificial intelligence contemting Arcadia. * * * That time when things areplicated in reality. Jaeyoung was working on an experiment with Haimer, an NPC he had recently picked up in Arcadia. Perong. Kwak Kwa Kwam. A scarecrow flew away in an instant with a huge explosion sound. However, seeing that, Haimer couldn''t hide his disappointment. Haa... Failed again this time. [Theory on energy condensation using mana and bombardment using it.] This theory, first conceived by Haimer and developed by Jaeyoung... no, Geppetto, has reached the level of making prototypes in reality. [Prototype: 21 undecided.] This mysterious object whose name has not even been decided. This prototype, which Haimer burned his soul with materials provided by Jaeyoung, was not recognized as an item, but rather as a form of a building. No, the mana stone had enough mana, but why is it so weak? why! Why is this! The 21st prototype created through numerous experiments and trials and errors. However, even with so many improvements and modifications, Haimer had no choice but to be sensitive to problems that could never be fixed. [Hmm..... It doesn''t seem to be much different from the level of the mana stone.] Geppetto dwelling in Jaeyoung''s body. As if he couldn''t abandon his nature as a magic engineer, he muttered intriguedly as he watched all of his experiments one by one next to Heimer. [When energy is ejected using a low-grade mana stone and when using a high-grade mana stone. The difference between the destructive power of the two is about 2 times. If a top-notch mana stone has this level of destructive power... it won''t be practical.] The process of extracting all the mana stored in the mana stone and ejecting it in the form of pure energy. All of that worked perfectly as Haimer had intended, but the destructive power was far different from what was expected. To think that the result of consuming all the mana of the top-notch mana stone is the destructive power of a Fireball... This is really worth the money. Top quality mana stones that cost at least 100 gold each. Considering the value of the Mana Stone, the best crafting material and experimental tool, Jaeyoung muttered with a bitter smile as it was a prototype with performance that could never be used in actualbat. profit. A top-ss mana stone that bursts out of the prototype while exhalingpressed steam. Originally, it was a mana stone that was supposed to emit soft light with full of blue mana, but perhaps it was because all the mana was consumed by the attack just now, it emitted a dark light and looked ugly. [All mana has been depleted. Mana will recover naturally, but it will probably take at least 5 years to regain its original form.] Huh? Does it take that long? [That was also kept to a minimum. As far as I know, when mana stones are depleted, it can take about 5 to 10 years or more depending on the surrounding environment to recover naturally. In addition, in the current case, the mana stone itself is overloaded due to the rapid depletion of mana, so it is unknown whether the mana stone itself can recover to its previous level. Jaeyoung. I was checking the rted information through the item details window, but looking at it, Haimer said with a downcast face. Im sorry. For no reason, he threw the precious top-notch mana stone because of me... In the process of developing the prototype No. 21, he needed a huge amount of goods and materials, but penniless Haimer didn''t have any money. Therefore, the goods used in all these experiments and development were all from Jaeyoung''s pocket. That''s why Haimer feels guilty and bitter about this failure. At his words, Jaeyoung waved his hand as if it was a misunderstanding. huh? no no no I didnt spend much, but what? yes....? Heimer gave a rather puzzled look at the word that he hadn''t used it in a while. If you add up the prices of the mana stones and materials he had consumed so far, it was an astronomical amount well over 10,000 gold. An experiment that would have been stopped immediately due tock of budget if it had been conducted in Mechanium. However, the existence in front of Haimer''s eyes spoke with a disinterested expression. Anyway, everything was written with things rolling around. It doesn''t matter, so don''t worry too much about it. Is that so? Colossal amount of goods sleeping in Kervenian''s rare. In fact, Jaeyoung did nothing special because all kinds of magic materials were literally piled up like a mountain to the extent that it was impossible to organize the items. All he had to do was ask the warehouse keeper, the Golden Goblin, to bring out the materials he requested. Rather than that... If it''s this level of destructive power even with the highest quality mana stones, I think I''ve made a big mistake. Do you know why? Haimer is taken aback by Jaeyoung''s sudden question. However, he soon calmly came to his senses and began to ponder seriously, organizing his theories in his head. Um... Im not sure? Haimer''s head wentpletely dark, as if he had no idea. Even after dozens of experiments, there was no change in destructive power, so he waspletely blocked. okay....? Jaeyoung is a bit disappointed with that statement. I nced at El with an eye as if asking what had happened, but she only shrugged her shoulders and smiled strangely. What I saw was not wrong. I cant tell you exactly, but I can still see it clearly. Jaeyoung and Haimer. A gigantic causal storm raging between the two. In the middle of a huge twist of fate, L could feel that another narrative was being created recently. Soon there will be a great storm on this continent. An epic story on a colossal scale that engulfs the entire continent of Arcadia. L muttered as he looked at Haimer, who was groaning and wrapping his head with a faint look at the intense premonition he had felt for the first time in a long time. No matter what happens, I hope we can bring peace to the entire continent through this child. What are you talking about from earlier, you damn chicken. Please speak in a way that is easy to understand. You shut up. I''m just saying the best I know. L does not back down and reacts to Tan''s sudden quarrel. As the quarrel between the two started like that, Jaeyoung was lost in thought. Is the scenario the boss said about starting...?'' Continental unification, the first main scenario chaos that has already been announced in advance. It was a situation where he had been earnestly asked to stop that, so Jae-young was engulfed in trouble. What can I do? Should I just go and wipe it all out?'' He also thought of using his spiritual powers to wreak havoc on the Shen Empire. However, after a brief calction, the n had to be abandoned. No..... I don''t think the calction of the probability bnce will match, and if that''s the case, it''s better to induce a war to break out.'' A skill enhancement that is so powerful that the word fraudes out. However, it was absolutely not a skill that could be easily used due to its cost-effectiveness that was so close to atrocious. Especially to use it for a war with a huge empire beyond 1:1 battles. Even if I die, I don''t want to get involved with those fucking perverts again...'' Jae-young pondered over and over again, not wanting to get involved with deck fan dance even if he died because he didn''t know what he would ask for. As I was contemting how to derive the optimal method, I heard Haimer''s words in my ears. Ho, can we go to the magic library? Haimer asked with a determined face as if he had decided on something. In response to his question, Jaeyoung turned around and asked what he was talking about. what? That... If you look for the magic books kept in the Mage Tower, you might be able to figure out another way. There aren''t that many books I''ve read... Haimer muttered cautiously with a sullen face. Honestly confessing that there are many things he does not know, he said with lively eyes thirsty for learning. There must be a way to solve this problem somewhere. Haimer firmly believes that his theory is not wrong. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung suddenly smiled at the thought. The Magic Library in the Mage Tower... has so many books? All existing books rted to the theory of demonic magic will be kept. Arcadia, a medieval fantasy world where magic exists. The magic books that exist here are divided into two types. A magic book, a special book that can acquire magic skills. A magic theory book containing misceneous theories about magic that helps raise intelligence. Of course, for general users, magic theory books were just useless things that they skimmed through for the sake of stats, but it was different for general NPCs like Haimer. Haimer was truly agonizing over the magic theory written in it. At his request, Jaeyoung held out his hand with a strange smile. Then lets go somewhere other than there. yes....? Where are you going...? Hymer asked with a questioning look. However, Jaeyoung didn''t say anything and signaled to grab hold of his hand. And when Haimer hesitated for a moment and held his hand, Jaeyoung quietly recited a starter word. Move to hideout. Ugh. only once a day. A skill only for adventurers who can move to a ce registered as their hideout. When it was activated, a huge magic circle formed under Jaeyoung and Haimer''s feet. What the hell is this...? Haimer looks at Jaeyoung with astonished eyes. But before he could say anything, an intense lightpletely filled his eyes. spot. Surroundingspletely transformed with a radiance of brilliant light. Haimer couldn''t close his gaping mouth at the sudden change and the sight that unfolded around him. What the hell is this... A cavity so huge that one dare not measure its scale. And a mountain made of gold coins with yellow brilliance piled neatly inside it. Haimer''s pupils trembled madly as he saw the treasures of great value and countless magical materials piled up there. Wee to myir. He greeted him with a smile and boasting. However, at Jaeyoung''s words, Haimer suddenly fell on his face with his head on the floor. The dragon''s rare that was only heard in the old stories of legends. Haimer, who first set foot here, trembled and responded to his greeting with a pitiful voice. A lowly man meets a great being. Chapter 279 Chapter 279 It''s Not a Dragon (2) A lowly human meets a great being. Hymer lowered his head and set the best example he could. He grabbed onto his trembling body and held on to his fading spirit with all his might. Was it a D-Dragon...?'' A mysterious existence that pours out magic goods that cost an enormous amount of money so easily. Watching him save him from an unknown situation and make him do all sorts of things, Haimer thought to himself as if everything made sense now. So that''s how it was. Somehow, I thought it was a situation where something didn''t make sense from the beginning... but what should I do now?'' A transcendent dragon that can only be heard in legends or old stories. At that time, Haimer, who had never expected to meet face to face in this way, was wringing out his white, empty head as to what to say. A voice sounded in his ears. I''m not a dragon? yes....? Hearing those words, Haimer carefully raised his head and looked at the existence in front of his eyes. What caught his eyes was Jaeyoung''s face, as if asking what he was talking about. Im not that lizard, so dont be afraid and wake up. If anyone sees it, you''ll know they''re eating you. Jaeyoung smiles and heads somewhere. Haimer, who had been staring nkly at him, immediately swallowed his saliva, got up from his seat, and started walking after him. Wow..... how much is all this? It''s amazing.....'' Haimer followed Jaeyoung for a while. He nced at the objects piled up in an orderly manner in the huge cavity with his eyes, and eximed in his heart. The sap of the golden tree. unicorn''s horn. In addition, the tears of the higher spirits...?'' A truly splendid treasure trove of gold, where all kinds of rare magical materials that only exist in legends that you have only heard of are mixed with valuable treasures. There, Haimer could not keep his mouth shut at the cluster of sparkling crystals piled up one after another to form a small hill. This crazy... so many top-notch mana stones...? Even in the Gael Federation, only a maximum of 500 kg of mana stones are produced each year. However, there were so many top-notch mana stones that it was difficult to evenprehend the amount. Oh that one? It''s not just the highest quality mana stones, maybe there are spirit stones mixed in as well? Haimer unknowingly raised his voice. Hearing those words, Jaeyoung turned around and smiled as he answered, and Haimer''s eyes widened even more. That spirit stone...? A substance much more valuable than mana stones. spirit stone. Hearing that the top-notch magic ingredients, which can maximize the magic of a certain element series several times more if processed well, are mixed in that huge hill, Haimer''s face went beyond astonishment and reached the state of liberation. I cant believe it... It wouldnt be strange to say that almost all of the continents wealth was gathered here. That is why Haimer asked cautiously with a trembling voice. Isnt Dex-sama really a dragon...? Haimer seems to be unable to believe in the current reality. In response to his question, Jaeyoung answered firmly. Are you just an ordinary adventurer? Can''t you see? NPCs that adventurers can immediately recognize just by looking at them. As if he couldn''t believe it while receiving such a setting in the game, Haimer muttered with a confused face. That''s true, but no matter how you look at it, this ce... is like a dragon''s rare. A huge pupil full of all sorts of rare treasures. This unidentified space exactly matched the dragon''sir that existed in Haimer''s imagination. And in response to his muttering, Jaeyoung nodded and replied. Here''s the dragon''s rare. yes....? Then how the hell is this...? Heimer put on a more confused expression at those words. In response to his reaction, Jaeyoung sighed and waved his hands as if he was annoyed. And at that moment, Haimer froze at the sudden change in air currents. How did you get in here? A title given randomly when performing special achievements or unusual actions in Arcadia. These titles also had additional stats, but they had a more important function than that. To make NPCs recognize the achievements they have achieved and to inform and show off those achievements to everyone. And now, the title Jaeyoung wore was strongly informing him of the great achievements he had made. [Dragon yer Dex.] Uh uh uh ..... Haimer made a bizarre silence while staring at Jae-young. Jaeyoung said to him with an evil smile. Now everything here is mine, so I came in. * * * After a long time, Haimer came to his senses. After hearing Jaeyoung briefly tell him how he was able to obtain the dragon''s rare, he eximed with his awe-filled eyes shining. Hehe..... Then the adventurer who liberated the Caribbean was Dex-sama? The story of the Caribbean, a rumor that has been heard loudly even in the Gael Federation for a while. Haimer looked at Jaeyoung with curious eyes as the news that all tramps from all continents were gathering and the news of the discovery of a new continent had already turned the whole city upside down. okay. In fact, where we are now is also the new continent. I don''t know exactly where it is, but I''m guessing it''s a volcanic field full ofva. A veryplex and gigantic Kervenian rare. Jaeyoung also shrugged his shoulders as if he was not sure as he had never been outside of Rare before. Eh...? am i really? Isnt it the Gael Federation? Heimer was startled by those words and looked around here and there. Then he mumbled as if he still couldn''t believe it. I''ve never been outside the Gael Federation... I didn''t expect to see it like this. Dont worry too much because you can go right back to where you were. Jaeyoung speaks calmly and continues to walk. Haimer, who was following behind him, asked as if he remembered something. Ah, but why did you bring me here? The most essential question. I asked him why he had brought him to the dragon''s rarity, saying he wanted to go to the magic library in the magic tower, but he just looked around with a look on his face as if he was looking for something. It''s strange... I''m sure he was here...? What....? A space filled with all sorts of shiny items that seem to have unusual powers at first nce. But as if that wasn''t the case, he looked around once more and then shouted in a loud voice. hey! Golden Goblin! Where is this child? Haimer looked at Jaeyoung, who grumbled over and over again with a voice mixed with annoyance, with puzzled eyes. However, I couldn''t help but be astonished at the bright yellow creature that suddenly popped up from somewhere. Kikikick..... Did you call, Master? Goblin? Small and dwarf appearance with a stooped waist. A creature with a protruding hooked nose and a face full of wrinkly wrinkles. However, unlike that ugly and ugly appearance, his skin was shining with a beautiful golden light. And the creature heard Haimer''s words murmured involuntarily, and soon began to growl in a high-pitched voice. human! How dare you look at someone and call him that savage and base goblin! A strange creature with a displeased face as if it had felt an enormous insult, sending out a look that seemed to tear to death, and exasperated. However, at his fierce reaction, Haimer asked with a bewildered expression. Then who are you...? If I were to speak with this body! The proud greedy n! The great and glorious Crevinian of the corrupt Gluttony family... The creature that was about to introduce itself with an exasperated gesture. But at that moment, as if he suddenly realized something, he hesitated, then closed his mouth and started rolling his eyes. What is your name? Dex is watching this scene with a very bright smile. The creature, as if taken aback by his question, soon began stuttering. Lord, Master, that... that... Why. feel free to say I also forgot your name because it was too long. Who are you...? Jaeyoung waved his hands and urged him to try something. The creature was immediately taken aback by his urging, then sighed heavily and introduced itself to Haimer. Master''s faithful warehouse keeper, Golden... Goblin. Call me Golden Goblin from now on. ...? Heimer stares at him with eyes as if asking what that is. Jaeyoung added an additional word to him. Just think of it like a warehouse manager managing this dragon rare. If you need anything, tell this bastard and he''ll bring it to you if it''s in this rare. Ah... yes... Something awkward. After ncing into each other''s eyes in silence for a moment, it was Jaeyoung who spoke first. Rather than that... Where did all the magic books here go? I know you kept everything here, but where the hell did you put it? ah. All of that has been moved to District 32. I did it because I thought it would be easier to manage if I put it together with other books. okay? Then guide me there. Kill-kil-kil. All right. The golden goblin jumps up and down and heads somewhere. Seeing Jaeyoung walking casually behind him, Haimer asked with his eyes wide open. Um... Dex-sama? huh? why? Hey... that goblin... what the hell is that? A monster goblin known to have child-level intelligence. Known to live in groups and build nests in swamps or deep forests, the fact that these monsters naturallymunicate with humans in this way and their unique skin color are all strange and unusual, so Haimer asked with a puzzled face. And Jaeyoung answered that question with a smile. Ah... that? Even if he looks like that, he''s a high-level demon. Ah yes....?! He was even more startled and froze at the word of a high-level demon. But Jaeyoung said it was nothing. Theres nothing to be afraid of because hes not a guy specializing inbat skills, hes just a guy with a long bag strap. Someone said it was just X Bob. What is that... Asmodian. A being who lives only for battle and struggle. Demons of hell who crave only blood and death and corrupt the souls of humans who are said to be the source of all corrupt evil and cursed and abandoned by God. The existence of such fear that death cannot be avoided just by facing it. He couldn''t believe at all that a high-level demon was residing in a ce like this, and that a high-ranking demon was obediently following the words of an adventurer, but Haimer couldn''t bear to let such a question out of his mouth. Kikikick..... Here. Oh... you''ve got them all together? flutter. That''s right. There are many other books besides magic. A golden goblin who removes a huge tent draped over one side. And when the vast bookshelves hidden under the thick fabric were revealed, Haimer opened his mouth as if his jaw would fall out. This can''t be true..... The bookshelves are packed tightly on a scale never seen before. Tens of thousands... No, the vast amount of books that seemed to be close to hundreds of thousands was surprising, but the titles written on them were even more astonishing. [Analysis of differences between dragonnguage andnguage magic.] [Innovative method for umting mana.] [Magic circuit integration blueprint.] [Development of ancient magic and modern magic.] What the hell is this... transcendental dragon. It is also a number of theoretical books rted to magic written by an ancient dragon-ss dragon who reached the extreme. At that time, in uncontroble trembling, Haimer was staring at the countless books in front of him with hazy eyes. A yful voice sounded in his ear. How about it? It''s much better than the Mage Tower Library, isn''t it? Chapter 280 Chapter 280 The Generous Tree The element of books in Arcadia is different from other games. [History of Arcadia] [Introduction to Magic] [10 Rules to Survive in the Jungle] [Biography of Sword Master Kybel] [Ecology of Caeln Kingdom Monsters] [Basic Grass ssification and Ecology] [Basic Knowledge Necessary for Farming] . . . politics, society, economy, art, agriculture. ..... It is not an exaggeration to say that knowledge in all existing areas exists, so it is not an exaggeration to say that there is an enormous amount of general books. And there were special one-off books that were considered the most valuable to adventurers. [Circle 4 Magic Book Fire Buster: Sealed] [Kayville''s Special Cooking Recipe - Sealed] [Secret Swordsmanship Shining Attack: Sealed] Books with a special seal engraved on them. These books were treated as consumption items and had a special function. [Used the 4th circle magic book Fire Buster.] [The seal has been released.] [The skill Fire Buster has been acquired.] A system that allows you to acquire the skills listed in the book. Acquiring the skill did not mean that the book would disappear or disappear, but even if someone else used it, the same skill could not be acquired, so the value of its use was no different frompletely disappearing. -I want to kill all the scumbags selling unsealed magic books at the auction house. - Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, are there still people who fall for that kind of scam these days? ck cow ck cow -Buy an unsealed skill book. Buy in bulk. A market where only books with seals still remain are traded at high prices. However, these things were meaningless to a normal NPC who was not calibrated by such a game system. A book is just a book. Since the contents inside did not change or change, Jaeyoung provided Haimer with all the books stored in Cervenian''s rare without any worries. Find and read to your hearts content here. It probably has pretty much everything. I dont think its that much...? It''s so huge that I don''t even know what to read first. Even if only the magic-rted things were roughly selected, the books formed a small hill that was almost tens of meters long, so Haimer just stared nkly at the scene unfolding in front of his eyes. And soon he swallowed his saliva, picked up one of the most prominent books, and started reading. Heimer, who began to read with his nose down for a while, soon opened his mouth with round eyes. This cant be... Why? What did you find? Haimer couldn''t hide his excitement. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung asked with eyes full of anticipation, but Haimer shook his head and said. no. That''s not it..... Because what''s written here is too unconventional... Jaeyoung turned her eyes to the book Haimer was holding. The title of the book caught his eye. [The basics of efficient magic circle design] It''s apletely different way from the magic design I''ve been using so far. By the way... if you do it the way it''s shown here, it could be at least twice... no, dozens of times higher. of course. All of the books here were written by a dragon who is said to be the master of magic. Despite his young age, Haimer had a reputation as a genius magic engineer. As a pioneer who knows most magic theory and knows a lot, he felt strong pride and pride. It seemed that all the learning he had cultivated throughout his life was being denied as garbage, but he did not feel despair or displeasure. Eyes full of excitement and longing. Haimer murmured with a flushed face at the fact that he could gain magic knowledge far beyond what humans had known until now. Maybe... I think I can get the answer here... No, I can get it unconditionally. Although it was a topic that had nothing to do with the problem he was worried about, Haimer still couldn''t erase the smile from his face at the fact that he had obtained a great harvest. Jaeyoung nodded his head in confidence like his promise. okay. Search as much as you need, and if you think you need to experiment, tell the golden goblin. We will prepare all the necessary ingredients. Is that really okay? Heimer is shocked when he hears that he can experiment as much as he wants. Jaeyoung said to him as if it was natural. then. Didn''t you see the top-notch mana stones rolling around? Heimer felt sorry for the fact that he hadn''t been able to achieve much despite spending more than 10,000 gold. But now I could see why he was so calm as if he was nothing. No... but... why is this so much for me... It''s money that far transcends themon sense of Haimer, who has lived a normal, no, a little needy life so far. Haimer was hesitant at his generous behavior to the point where he wondered why he was being so good to himself, but Jaeyoung smiled and said, Did I make it clearst time? Strange signs are happening throughout the continent of Arcadia, centering on the Gael Federation. Are you referring to the war you were talking about then? A terrible prophecy that the entire peaceful Gael Federation would perish in the fiery furnace of war. He didn''tpletely believe it, but Jaeyoung spoke so confidently that Haimer swallowed his saliva nervously. that''s right. That war will surely happen. And that war can only be stopped by you. With the theory you were working on. Really...? that''s right. The Gael Federation, the home of Haimer who has lived his entire life and his heart. No matter how much he was kicked out of the Mechanium, his affection didn''tpletely disappear, so Haimer''s face repeated theplex blooming and disappearing of various indescribable emotions. And soon, as if he was prepared for something, he looked at Jaeyoung with a determined expression and said. all right. I will definitelyplete the theory no matter what. And... through it, I will protect the Gael Federation with my own hands. Even if it means sacrificing your life. Haimer aggressively buries his face in the book, firmly determined to protect the Gael Federation. Tan flew to Jaeyoung, who looked at him happily, and asked. No sir. If you want to stop a war, you can just go there and wipe it all out. Tan frowns and grumbles as if he doesn''t know why he keepsplicating things in strange and bizarre ways. He was expecting a scene of chaos and destruction where he would run right away and wipe out everything, so it was disappointing to end up in a dragon rare and waste his time. And why do you keep pretending to be kind instead of being like a master? Just threaten to kill you if you don''t. Why are you being so cheesy? I don''t like Tan, who keeps pretending to be a damn chicken kid even though he has very good negotiating means of violence and intimidation. He was heartbroken to see Jaeyoung, whom he saw as a rare crystal of evil, keep going astray, but he soon perked up his ears at Jaeyoung''s words. Even if it cringes, its because this method is the most effective. Effective? Tan, who has never experienced a method as effective as violence. From the few guys who always seemed sloppy and rebellious, once they were killed as examples, they were people who trembled and listened well, so the rider on Jae-young''s horse tilted his head. Its called gaslighting. Gaslighting? what is that? Are you vicious again that I don''t know about? Tan''s eyes lit up when he heard the words for the first time, and before he knew it, he took out a ck scroll and prepared to write down notes. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung let out a sigh with an expression of absurdity in his eyes. Haa... no. Don''t do anything stupid again and just watch it. You can see how things work out. ah! Where is that, Master! You have to finish what you said. Tan clings to his hair and makes a fuss asking him to pass on another vicious honey tip. The moment L looked at him with disgust and contempt. Far away from the continent, serious discussions were going on in the imperial court of the Shen Empire. The Faros Empire said they would ept our offer... is that what you mean? Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor. This is a personal letter from the emperor of the Faros Empire. A personal letter given back by a delegation sent to the Faros Empire. After confirming the content, the Emperor of the Shouen Empire muttered with his eyes wide open. Hmm... not a bad suggestion. It seems that the Faros Empire is in a hurry. Because there is no new continent to be conquered in the south of the continent. In the process of being newly integrated into one continent, the Faros Empire was unfortunately located on the outskirts. That''s why they were facing the endless sea that stretched far from the coast as before, so the proposal of the Shoen Empire was rather wee to them. Besides, I think I heard a rumor somewhere that a huge amount of mana stones are being produced in the Gael Federation. On our continent, the Faros Empire upied most of the mana stone mines, and I was concerned that our empire might upy a new mana stone mine. A mana stone with enormous economic influence. It was a strategic resource that was so valuable that it could be considered one of the reasons why the Ferros kingdom was able to grow into an empire, so they had no intention of leaving the Shoen Empire alone. We match the level of troops and war supplies to the level we put in, but give priority to our Shoen Empire in the distribution of upied territories, and divide strategic resources in a 5:5 ratio. Also, let''s conclude a marriage between the imperial families with a non-aggression pact for the next 100 years . Even if you try to exercise control anyway, if our empire doesn''t open the way, it''s useless. Situated in the northern part of the continent, the Shen Empirepletely dominates the routes to other continents. So, whether they like it or not, there was no way for the Faros Empire to advance to other continents unless they cooperated with each other. It seems like a good suggestion. Do you think so too? That''s right. If there is a war anyway, wouldn''t it be better to have allies than to have enemies who are after us? Although it is a little behind the Shouen Empire, the Perus Empire, the loser of another continent that can never be ignored. Without a guarantee that they would not strike the back of the head, he would not dare tounch arge-scale war, so the emperor tapped the seat of power with his fingers, deep in thought. If you ask for a marriage, who is the target in the Faros Empire? The second prince of the Faros Empire is said to be of the right age. Then we can send Ariel. Regardless of their intentions, the emperor immediately decided in his head who to marry, and soon gave an order. Send an envoy to the Faros Empire immediately. I will dly ept the offer. All right! The Shen Empire decided to go to war. The matter was decided because even after knowing that there was an enormous mana stone production area right in front of us, we couldn''t just sit back and watch it. With the scenario that started to run soplicated, a message appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The mission has been created.] [Please check the contents of the mission.] His seventh mission has arrived. Chapter 281 Chapter 281: One Day with the Boss, Unlimited Freedom. and endless possibilities. In Arcadia, where nothing is definitively decided and everything is created and disappears in real time, big and small changes happen every day. A vige that used to be fine waspletely evaporated overnight due to monster attacks. A hunting ground waspletely wiped out and turned into devastated ruins, or even upied by other monsters. Arcadia, a virtual reality that is very simr to the unpredictable reality, where the main scenario filled with the blood and tears of the management team disappears overnight, and a huge main scenario is created that was never thought of at all. It is not an exaggeration to say that this system, which is sometimes irritating but always presents new and fresh appeal to users, was possible because the artificial intelligence Alice controls everything in the game. Woo woo woo. Alice, who does not rest even for a minute and a second, always busily operates the calction circuit, and responds immediately to all possible issues. And her system began to analyze the results after detecting the newly blooming variables. [Rare of Kervenian. NPC Haimer peculiarities detected.] Originally, Haimer, who was just an extra living in Arcadia without any special mission or role, was not receiving special attention from her. In the end, his fate, which should have ended with a tragic death in a city in the Gael Federation, suddenly began to twist. [Level 1 surveince target yer dex. Encounter with the corresponding NPC.] Dex, the main character, receives attention from Jack and her to the extent that it is different from other users. Knowing better than anyone else his moves that always create huge upheavals in games, Ellis closely watched the changes taking ce in Haimer. [that''s right. That war will surely happen. And that war can only be stopped by you. With the theory you were researching.] [Okay. I will definitelyplete the theory no matter what. And... through it, I will protect the Gael Federation with my own hands. Even at the cost of his life.] Haimer elerates his research, full of a sense of mission that only he can prevent war. In addition to the countless high-level magic theories stored in Cervenian''sir, and the indiscriminate provision of the finest magic experiment materials with unimaginable value, all of her expectations began to twist out of control. [NPC No.20001222223 new purpose transnt.] [NPC Haimer character settings readjusted.] [Character grade adjusted. Normal - Hero] [Detected a fatal variable.] [Researching possible scenarios.....] Originally, starting with the Gael Federation, she expected that the entire continent would be swept away by the fire of war. But now. The possibility was born that the war might not happen at all or would end very soon. [Switch to intensive analysis mode.] A volcanic area full ofva that nobody knows about. By a young man groaning in the depths and buried in a book. * * * CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who handles various tasks rted to Arcadia Co., Ltd., which has dozens of branches around the world. As the only person in charge with first-ss management authority and able to handle a lot of confidential information from Elise, she grabbed her head one day at a sudden warning. Haa... A security incident happened? [That''s right. Please refer to the analysis data detected through Argos.] Confidential data sent to President Lee Mi-yeon''s e-mail. While checking various information, including audio recordings and photos, she muttered in an annoyed voice. I expected something like this to happen someday... but it must happen in Japan. A familiar voice that President Lee Mi-yeon had heard many times among the people who were talking loudly in Japanese. As soon as she heard that, she realized that it was Governor Kazuki and put on a surprised expression. No, not a general manager, but a branch manager-level person who defected? The existence of a wless artificial intelligence, Alice, that can only be known when managers with some special duties and higher executives. That''s why Arcadia Co., Ltd. promised huge sries and various privileges to those who held positions of manager level or higher, and at the same time, put up a harsh confidentiality use. Lee Mi-yeon, who used carrots and sticks to silence them. However, in the end, Alice''s existence was exposed to the outside world, literally saying that eternal secrets do not exist in this world. Who is behind it? He must have been promised a huge reward enough to give up the privileges he had enjoyed as a branch manager. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, asked with a cold expression as it was something that could not be dared to be attempted unless it was a force with considerable power and wealth. [ording to the information received, it is confirmed that the Japanese government is deeply involved.] The Japanese... government? Does this go that far? President Lee Mi-yeon was checking the relevant information on the monitor with her eyes narrowed. Soon after, she let out a nkugh with an absurd expression on her face and murmured. Ha... The Cab Investigation Office intervened directly. In addition, the Japanese Prime Minister and the entire cab are deeply involved, right? Ajin Electronics'' masterpiece smartphone G series, which has sold more than 10 billion units worldwide and is said to be owned by every human being in the world. President Lee Mi-yeon, who could see the entire acquisition process in detail through the eyes of Argos, who was collecting all the information through it, couldn''t help but admire their meticulous and tenacious efforts. [The Prime Minister of the Japanese Cab... In Korea, factors above the ministerial level came forward directly. It is analyzed that acquisition is quite possible as long as the state''s public power intervenes in this way.] Japan''s acquisition operation is bigger than expected. The ultimate goal they were aiming for was the seizure of the original technology for virtual reality owned by Arcadia. First of all... that effort at least paid off. At least you figured out what to steal from ourpany, right? The Japanese government, more precisely than any other country, has identified the target it should aim for. However, Lee Mi-yeon''s face showed a sense ofposure rather than worry. Even if it were, it would be a target that could never be captured. Alice, an artificial intelligence that manages and controls everything in Arcadia and all systems based on virtual reality technology. Even everything recently developed in coboration with otherpanies or countries was in her palm, and the virtual reality industry meant Alice itself, so the security for her was so solid and thick that it was beyond imagination. [There is a 0% chance that the Japanese government will take over my core system. Currently, rted matters have been delivered to the US intelligence department, and we n to strengthen security ordingly, establish additional closing procedures inside the hive facility, and install additional rted devices. You don''t have to worry about that.] An unknown desert located somewhere in the vast territory of the United States. Her core, stored in Silicoff''s secret research facility Hive, secretly located deep underground, went beyond its own double-triple security system and was under the strong protection and protection of the US government. [As long as the Japanese government does not want to go to war with the United States, my system is safe.] That''s why Lee Mi-yeon, the president, knew. The fact that the dream the Japanese government is dreaming of is nothing more than a vain delusion. Well... I get it first. Even so, be prepared for the unexpected. [I understand.] Still, Alice replied that she would understand when she was told to be careful. And soon, I asked the president Lee Mi-yeon. [What do you n to do with Governor Kazuki?] Director Kazuki? He betrayed thepany and became attached to the Japanese government. There was no mercy for him who sold the secrets of his preciouspany while sitting in the position of head of the branch in charge of the Japanese branch, but it was ambiguous to make a special response. Hmm... is that...? Information about the close rtionship between him and the Japanese government obtained illegally and secretly. It was impossible to mention this openly, but it was too much in its current state to kick him out with ridiculous quibbles. Somehow, once we move here, it''s too obvious...? It''s a situation where I haven''t done anything special yet. Considering that the Japanese government was also closely watching the movements of all Japanese branches, including Governor Kazuki, there was no need to act hastily. [I think so too. In addition, ording to the information provided by Governor Kazuki, it has been determined that another operation is underway within the Japanese government.] Another operation? What do you mean? [This is an operation rted to the situation inside the game. Please check the rted content.] President Lee Mi-yeon keeps her eyes on the monitor while dragging the mouse. Soon after, sheughed like it was ridiculous. what? Are you crazy about this now? Are you encouraging the main scenario I warned you about? A huge war that will spill blood over the entire continent of Arcadia beyond the Japanese continent. anarchy. It was Lee Mi-yeon herself who had made every effort to prevent this and provided information that exceeded the security level to Kazuki, so she looked downcast at the Japanese government''s behind-the-scenes action. Won..... I warned you so much that if a war breaks out, it will be Japan that will see blood, but you''re going to do something like this? Why? To her, it was like an act of suicide. I couldn''t understand the behavior of those who set themselves on fire in a huge oil barrel, but Elise added that it could be. [It is analyzed that there was a fatal judgment error because the user variable was excluded from the information I provided and the ending of the expected scenario. In the scenario I provided, the Japanese continent was the beneficiary of huge profits.] Hmm... anyway, they really don''t listen to what I have to say. Do you still not understand the situation? Jae-young asked with a very calm face if it was okay to destroy the Shoen Empire. It''s dark before my eyes just to think about what kind of catastrophe would happen if he stepped forward, but the Japanese government was making the situation on its own without knowing anything about it. [That''s right. As a result, Japanese users'' aggression and willingness to fight exploded. Significantly, the probability of triggering a scenario also jumped to 89% at one time.] The atmosphere of war spread like wildfire among adventurers. The alliance with the Ferros Empire was the most decisive, and their response also had a big impact, encouraging the start of the main scenario, but President Lee Mi-yeon soon realized that Alice''s words were in the past tense. [But it doesn''t matter now.] What do you mean by that? [A critical variable affecting the main scenario has been detected. It is expected that the scenario and results will bepletely different from now, but it is still uncertain.] Ellis says that all previous predictions will be overturned. At her words, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked with a bitter face. Is it because of what our troubled customer is doing? [That''s right.] President Lee Mi-yeon instinctively realized at Alice''s words. No matter what happens in the future, a huge aftermath will probably blow through the entire Arcadia, including the Shouen Empire. Yes..... Today was a peaceful day that made my head thump. Chapter 282 Chapter 282 Sessful Experiment A Kervenian''s rareness that exists more than none. In this ce where enormous goods are stored, which would not be outdated as a treasure trove of all things, Haimer was receiving enormous privileges that no one else could receive. Spellbooks and theories directly written by the elder dragon-ss dragons Unlimited supply of magical materials boasting tremendous value and rarity. Even if he had reached the 8th Circle, even if he had reached the 8th Circle, he would not dare to receive generous support, even in his imagination. After... the 43rd test run. The mana flowing through the magic circuit he engraved with great care on mithril of 100% purity, said to have the best conductivity on this continent. When the pure and intense mana extracted from the top-notch mana stone started to flow quickly along the given path and form a magic circle, an order began to be established in the enormous energy that had no direction. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee pure magical energy. Taking the form of a round sphere, it began to form a huge bullet in the air. Tsutsutsutsutsutsu. A bullet of pure magical energy that condenses and exudes a tremendous and threatening energy. The collision with the magic maic field in the turret, which was formed to hold it, made an ominous rupture sound, and then exploded with a powerful roar. Wow. Patter. A 100% pure mithril turret that shatters at the same time. It was a truly astounding moment when the vast amount of magic ingredients were turned to dust in an instant, but Haimer and the Golden Goblins who were watching it didn''t blink an eye. Its ok..... Its a failure this time too. Haimer licks his lips as if he is always regretful. The Golden Goblin, who was watching the experiment from a distance beside him, gave a pathetic smile and sarcastically. joy. When I asked what he was trying so hard for, he was a stupid human being. Do you really think it''s possible to forcibly hold on to such powerful magical power? A top-notch mana stone that is evaluated to have enough output and mana to stably operate a magic circle of at least 6 circles with just one. The idea of extracting and holding such an enormous amount of mana at once was both dangerous and inefficient. Still, I can''t help it. First of all, in order to operate the bombardment aiming system, you have to maintain that form for at least 8 seconds... no, at least 4 seconds! A bombardment aiming system that automatically turns and fires toward a given target. This magic circuit, designed and conceived by Haimer himself, was precise and efficient to the point of perfection, but the problem was the bullets to be ejected using this system. In order to maximize the power of a magic bullet, the energy that makes up the bullet must be maximized, but doing so weakens the magical maic field that holds the bullet, and strengthening it weakens the bullet. Ha..... Power and stability. A situation in which one or the other must be given up. However, since it was not possible to extract satisfactory power without giving up its stability, Haimer was repeating experiments to find a subtle symmetry point hidden somewhere. Chuckling... Anyway, you''re a stupid human being. If that was possible, it would already have been made. It''s impossible, so it''s just that such a thing doesn''t exist until now. Don''t waste the great master''s wealth in vain. The Golden Goblin sneered at him, saying that it was an impossible experiment in the first ce. As a manager who manages all the goods of Cervenian''s rare, Haimer, who is using all kinds of precious wealth recklessly, was no better than a thorn in his eyes. no. There must be a way somewhere. However, Haimer muttered, showing tenacious tenacity that never gave up even after dozens of failures. At his reaction, the Golden Goblin spoke in a voice mixed with annoyance. Haa... Listen carefully, human. I will tell you why that is impossible. A golden goblin, a member of the great Gluttony n, who is one of the weakest among the upper-ss demons, but has a long backpack strap and has survived. Since he had a lot of knowledge about the magic system and mana used by humans, he began to exin in detail why this was impossible. You understand? What you''re doing is no different than pouring water out of a ss and trying to make it look like it was in the ss again in the air. How can you make a form out of something that has no form? Even if that were possible, it would be incredibly ignorant. extreme inefficiency. The owner who is encouraging me behind the scenes to think this is possible. A person who believes in that again and wraps his head around a problem that is sure to fail like this. The golden goblin couldn''t understand at all. However, upon hearing his sarcasm, Haimer''s expression instantly turned hazy. Creating form from the formless...? That moment. Something he hadn''t thought of before began to pass through his mind. Sentences that would normally flow without thinking. However, at this moment, because of that sentence, the knowledge of countless magics umted in Haimer''s head became intertwined and he began toe up with another new idea. Have you even eaten your ears now, humans? tell me again? The golden goblin looked at him with pitiful eyes and grumbled at his stupid appearance. However, as if he didn''t care about his reaction, Haimer hurriedly ran out and soon started overturning Kervenian''s study. hey! hey! human! Can''t you see I''m talking to you right now? Heimer is nothing more than a weak and insignificant human being who can be killed with a snap of his finger. He was angry and smirking at the fact that he, a high-ranking demon and a member of the Gluttony family, was ignored, but to Haimer, it was just a goblin''s scream. I''m sure it was here somewhere...'' Kervenian''s magic book that I read while passing by at first nce. Searching through the bookshelves, searching for memories, he found a certain title and hurriedly took out the book. found! A magic book as thick as Haimer''s torso. Seeing him hugging the shiny book that exudes an old but antique feel, like a treasure, the golden goblin asked, forgetting how angry he had just been. What is that? Human? A really genuine question out of curiosity. In response to his question, Haimer smiled so brightly and showed the book he was holding. here! Here''s the answer! [Suggestions for stable mana management] An extremely dangerous phenomenon that can destroy the heart where the caster''s mana is stored and the entire circle. Runaway Mana, also known as Main Fire Ibma. Haimer, who had been rummaging through a magic book full of tips for stable mana management and magic casting to prevent it, shouted with a smile full of joy, as if he had found what he was looking for. found! I found it! What the hell are you talking about looking for earlier! human! Haimer jumps and shouts excitedly alone. It was a golden goblin who shouted with an annoyed face, Why the hell are you doing this? Wow! Thank you so much! Thanks to you! Ouch! Let go! let go of this! human! It really kills me! A frightened golden goblin struggling to get away from Haimer. But even after that, he had to be held for a long time by a human who was like a new chick who went mad with joy. Haa..... Let''s see if I finish this contract... The moment you get out of the restraints of this manager. The golden goblin repeated to himself today as he vowed to personally drag that damn human bastard to hell. I''m not a goblin. I''m not a goblin I''m not a goblin I am not a goblin...'' .... * * * Umm..... A new mission flew to Jaeyoung. After confirming the contents, he squinted his eyes as if he was ambiguous and let out a silent voice. To increase Gael Federation''s capacity? And without foreign intervention? [Mission. 7] Gael Federation, the only republic in Arcadia. There are so many neighboring countries that are salivating over their vast underground resources. You can''t always protect the Gael Federation in crisis by yourself, right? Help the Gael Federation achieve self-reliant national defense by blocking the winds of great upheaval that inevitably blows. -Implement Gael Federation''s self-defense -Prevent enemy invasion without foreign help (0/10) < The contents of the mission may change depending on the yer''s actions. > Jajagukbang, a rice cake that goes around often. Seeing that this mission to realize it in the Gael Federation was created, Jaeyoung realized that all the methods he thought of would not work. Are you saying that adventurers or even forces other than the Gael Federation shouldn''t be involved? An incredibly tricky mission to defend the country from invasion by foreign enemies with only NPCs belonging to the Gael Federation. Considering that the opponent was the Shen Empire, one of the superpowers of the Japanese continent, the mission was almost impossible toplete. That means... the wisdom El saw was absolutely not wrong... Archangel Michael, who had strongly rmended that he must save the child from the first time he saw him. At her urging, he somehow saved and helped him, but despite the full support, he hadn''t made much progress for over a month, so Jae-young was starting to feel frustrated. How long do you have to stay here, Master? Tan is swimming on top of a pile of gold that has been lined up like a mountain. In response to his question, Jaeyoung nodded. Um... Shall we go back? really? A month or so is a long wait. It''s a situation where there''s no promise of how long it will take, and it looks like the situation outside is unusual, so I''m going to leave it here for now and go back. Jae-Young tries to find another way to work while leaving him to focus on his research. Riding on his horse, his eyes lit up and he jumped up and shouted. OK! You are the owner too! It is very clear what is the right thing to do. At the urging of Tan, who is overjoyed at the fact that he has finally escaped from the lizard''s den, the moment he is about to return to his original ce. Suddenly, with a huge roar, Kervenian''sir started to vibrate. Aaaaaaaaang. What is it? This....! Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. A Cervenian rare that trembles violently for an instant, as if an earthquake had urred. It seemed like there was quite a distance, but Tan and L heard an incredibly strong roar. And Jaeyoung met each other''s eyes and soon started running somewhere quickly. A gateway that connects Kervenian''sir to the outside world. Haimer''sboratory is installed in the endless and deste rocky terrain that spreads nearby. Jaeyoung, who arrived there for the first time, opened his mouth as he saw the scene unfolding in front of him. This is...? brother! Sess! ats! Haimer jumps up and down saying that his experiment was a sess. Next to himy a green mithril turret that spewedpressed air and steam as if something had just been fired. And... the in of huge rocks that originally stretched out in front of the turret. But now, there is only one huge pit left without the original scenery anywhere. As if nothing was there from the beginning. Chapter 283 Chapter 283 What Did You Make? An aggregate of pure energy and a powerful resource boasting tremendous efficiency. mana. This energy, which is essential for manifesting the supernatural ability of magic, existed in a very unstable, variable and free state. [Mana, which is a state of free and disorderly entropy itself, can limit and restrain its direction only in very limited and confined circumstances. First of all, the heart, which is the core of all living things and the source and center of life force. Only the heart can bind such mana and function as a magical power engine that can control and express it at will.] The heart is said to be the source of life force. Kervenian''s book, which states that mana can only be collected and controlled through the heart, was described in great detail in the danger of mana runaway. [A runaway of mana urs as a counter-resilience when trying to control mana to an uncontroble level above the limit. In the case of dragons, such a case is not found, but it is a phenomenon that often urs in inferior and uncivilized lower creatures. In most cases, their hearts are destroyed and they die immediately, or even if they survive, most of them lose all functions as a magic engine organ . worst case scenario. Therefore, the development of the science of magic was not proportional to time and had no choice but to stagnate. [A magic experiment? Developing new magic? Yeki! this guy! Is there anything that could cause a violent death at a flowery age?] [Isn''t it because we don''t know what will happen if a mana runaway happens? Didn''t you hear the story of the 6th-circle archmage who died unluckily due to mana overflow while trying to improve the 1st-circle magic?] [Magic improvement is something even legendary genius wizards couldn''t touch. Don''t do anything dangerous, just safely study the magic of the sages of the ancestors!] As long as mana is used in any experiment, magic research carries the risk of causing an unpredictable runaway of mana. Therefore, unconventional challenges and adventures could not exist unless safety was clearly guaranteed, and even if they did, they were often treated as foolish and shallow challenges rather than leaps and bounds and innovative discoveries, and they were often treated as screaming deaths. it was full [The behavior of humans who have been given magic hundreds of thousands of years ago by our great n and still have not progressed and regressed is pitiful. It is impossible to expect innovation from those who invent and improve new magic, but restrict the sharing of knowledge in a closed way just because they are secret rtives. I am sure that in the future, it will degenerate and be eliminated even more than now.] Kervenian then listed various measures to prevent personal mana runaway. Through this book, Kerbenian would have hoped that these savage human wizards would develop magic through a little more radical and challenging adventure, but seeing this, Haimer had apletely different idea. All sorts of methods have been described in this book to prevent and prevent the mana runaway, but I thought the opposite. What would happen if that dangerous and destructive mana runaway was intentionally caused? I do. Haimer smiled proudly, tapped the book, and spoke in a voice trembling with excitement. He shouted, his eyes almost glowing with madness. And I found a way. Magical self-sacrifice nowpletely banned. I found the answer here. Sacrifice. Upon hearing that, Tan''s ears began to perk up. Ha... You found a way out of that wicked magic? A tan that clearly reveals the displeasure of whether there is a bad memory for the magic. Jaeyoung asked with a curious look at his reaction. what is that? It is a magic that transforms all mana into a state of powerful and pure energy at once. To put it simply, it means sacrificing your life and wiping out everything in the area with mana that has tremendous destructive power. El''s supplementary exnation is that it is a terrifying magic that turns ordinary humans into bombs. And along with it came Tan''s annoyed grumbling. Do you know how much trouble we suffered because of that magic? Even at the time of the Great War, if you thought you would be sessful in sales, those wizards all self-destructed, so how much blood did even our little kids see... Even thinking about it now, it''s real... . At his reaction, L red at Tan with a cold gaze, and then continued the story. It is nowpletely forbidden magic among humans. The destructive power of magic itself is iparably stronger than any other magic, but once the magic is activated, the person who uses the magic will die unconditionally and the area will be destroyed, so I know that it waspletely sealed. Now, even the traces and records of that magic cannot be found. However, through the magic books and various records that remained intact in Kervenian''s treasury, Haimerpletely improved the magic. Now I realize how stupid and pathetic the idea of extracting mana from a mana stone and shooting it out is! Just blow the mana stone itself! A realization obtained from the cotton goblin given by the golden goblin. Through that, he realized a very simple and obvious reason. So... just throw away the entire bowl containing the water instead of taking the water out of the bowl and spraying it... Is this it? yes! Then, the energy loss required to maintain the magic bullet can be drastically reduced to a level that is almost negligible! Energy loss, which yed the most decisive role in reducing destructive power. Beyond finding a way topletely eliminate the loss, Haimer made all sorts of alterations and improvements to the mana stones. I imprint the magic of self-sacrifice on the mana stone, activate it, and at the same time shoot it to the desired destination through the bombardment system... Yes! For now, only the basic self-sacrifice spells are imprinted, but with more time, this can be improved into a more powerful performance! Unlike before, the mithril turret with only the bombardment system inscribed on it,pletely erasing allplex spells. Contrary to theplex inscriptions of all sorts of misceneous forms to extract, condense, amplify, control, control, and restrain the mana of the mana stone, it is a very simple and simple structure. Jaeyoung murmured heartily at this innovative method, which even had room for mass production. This... is it really okay? Right? Right! A truly revolutionary idea. However, Jaeyoung saw what he had created and remembered something in reality. Isn''t this... just a field gun?'' When asked to make a magic turret, Haimer created something that is no different from a cannon existing in modern civilization. The thought that it would be a problem if his invention was revealed to this Arcadia shed by, but Jae-youngughed at the thought of what he knew. Does the mana stone fly away every time you fire a shot? Unlike before, the principle of intentionally disintegrating and exploding the mana stone itself. It would have been a disadvantage if the mana stone waspletely destroyed once used, but Haimer didn''t seem to mind at all. yes. However, the previous method was not too difficult to recycle mana stones, so I wondered if it was actually meaningful. Heimer''s answer was that that was it anyway. Jaeyoung wondered if it was something worth saying after blowing away mana stones worth at least 100 gold each, but he answered with a smile at his confident answer. okay. Well, it''s not such a waste if it''s as destructive as a single top-notch mana stone. A huge pit at least 100m wide. Even the deep pit seemed to be at least 1m long, so at the moment when he thought that the cost performance would not be bad at this level, Haimer asked what he was talking about with a face. A top-notch mana stone? What do you mean? huh? What do you mean? Jaeyoung and Haimer ask each other what they are talking about. Soon after, Haimer tilted his head and said with a puzzled look. The one I used is an intermediate mana stone? what....? Intermediate, which is the most passable and ounts for most of the amount mined in the Gael Federation. Realizing that the destructive power that created the roar and vibration that resonated throughout Cervenian''s rarity was the result of only an intermediate level mana stone, Jaeyoung opened his mouth in amazement. And soon, a question came to mind. If the intermediate level is like this... what will happen to the supetive level?'' A mana stone that is known to have a 10-fold difference in output per stage. Jaeyoung, who predicted the result with simple multiplication, swallowed. Because it''s 1010... then 100 times...?'' Unimaginable destructive power. However, because of his irresistible curiosity, Jaeyoung spoke to Haimer seriously. By any chance...then, shall we try it with the highest quality mana stones? yes....? That''s a bit too wasteful... No matter how piled up they are, it''s a waste of top-notch mana stones. Heimer, who has lived a frugal life, clearly did not want to use the highest quality mana stone in this way, which permanently blows away in one shot, but Jaeyoung spoke very seriously. no. It''s not worth anything. Let''s try it. A very firm and resolute tone. In addition, Jaeyoung was the owner and the owner of all these magic materials, so Haimer made a slightly embarrassed expression and then nodded. Ah, I get it. While doing so, Haimer sat in the corner for a while, grabbed the top-notch mana stone, and devoted himself to engraving magic. Even Tan and El looked at them with interesting eyes, and after waiting for a long time, he took a deep breath with a face full of tension and stood up. Whoa... I''m done. Woo woo woo. A mana stone that emits an ominous resonance and glows in a strange color. Jaeyoung, who was looking at it with eyes full of tension and anticipation, Haimer muttered as if warning. be careful. It is very unstable. As if it were a ticking time bomb, Haimer carefully loaded the mana stones inside the mithril turret. And soon, the bombardment system was controlled and the target was set at maximum range. Can I just shoot now? yes. Now, if you apply the minimum mana to activate the magic circle imprinted on the mana stone, activate the trigger, and immediately eject the mana stone, it will explode after a certain amount of time. I see... Jaeyoung nodded calmly. Haimer, who nced at his expectant eyes, soon swallowed nervously and asked. You really shoot? Haimer asks as if asking for permission. And in response to his question, Jaeyoung answered without hesitation. Shoot. At those words, Haimer activated the magic turret. The magic turret, which activated with a blue light, fired something with a huge explosion. Quaang. A top-notch mana stone that emits red light that flies far away so fast that it is impossible to notice with normal body sight. The moment the mana stone flying in an incredibly unstable state disappears from sight and falls somewhere far away. Jaeyoung and Haimer. And the rulers of the heavens and the demons had to witness the scene. Wow. A very ominous red magic. As if swallowing everything, a huge shockwave that tore through the air along with a huge pir of light began to sweep in after a fleeting moment. Cuckoo coo coo coo coo coo a huge explosion and a stormy wind. And the earth trembles as if it were an earthquake. In the moment of this tremendous disaster, as if the world hade to an end, Jaeyoung had to see it clearly. A huge mushroom cloud rising in the distance. Chapter 284 Chapter 284 Crossing the Line A temporary vacuum phenomenon caused by the shock wave caused by the eruption of huge energy and the atmosphere pushed out by it. This vacuum that urs in an instant is quickly filled with air sucked in from the surroundings, but at the same time blows everything high into the sky in an instant. Woo woo woo. And the huge and vast dust clouds that result from it. People named it based on how it looked. It''s called the Mushroom Cloud. This crazy ..... A phenomenon that can only be seen at the moment of a nuclear explosion. Jae-young''s expression was tinged with astonishment as he vividly saw the cloud of death, which he could only see when studying the Inte or old war history, but the reactions of others who watched it increased. What the hell is this! I can''t believe it... How can this destructive power...? Tan, whose jaw is about to fall out, and L, who hardens his face with a serious expression. A tremendous power that even the absolutes of the heavens and the demons could not dare to ignore. Even if it was the highest level, it was so powerful that it was impossible to imagine the level of destructive power that even a single mana stone would dare to produce, so Tan shouted with excitement, forgetting the dignity and stature of being the lord of the demon realm. Lord Master! What is that human identity? What the hell did you make of it? What are you doing after seeing everything? Its a magic turret using top-notch mana stones. What makes the turret so powerful? This is beyondmon sense! That''s enough destructive power toe out if I go over to the main body and use a bit of force! In terms of probability, it was a power that could only be created if one was prepared for a fairly colossal loss. He was talking about something with an expression of disbelief at how absurd this situation was, but L was rtively quiet. I can''t believe it... that his rank suddenly rose like this...?'' Michael can understand to some extent the ss of the object he is looking at through the pioneering eye of thew of cause and effect. Clearly, the level of Haimer, which had been so feeble and faint to the point of meaninglessness until now, hadpletely changed into a gigantic level that clearly showed off its presence while emitting a brilliant and intense glow. Wow... is this real? Heimer stands nkly with a bewildered face, as if he doesn''t believe that he really made it, even though it was an invention he engraved and made himself. In response to his question, Jaeyoung nodded calmly. So, is this a fake now? No... but this is too powerful beyond imagination, right? I see... I also thought it was roughly 100 times as powerful... but no matter how you look at it, its more destructive than that? The firepower of the highest grade mana stone, which was thought to be about 100 times that of the intermediate mana stone by simple calction. However, the results of the experiments that could be seen in front of their eyes far exceeded their expectations and were of a level of destructive power that could only be seen in the battles of transcendent beings. Hey, you fucking chicken. What on earth did you urge the master to make? Tan suddenly elerates and runs towards L. And then, Jae-young quickly found out why. That level is no different from the 9th circle magic used by damned lizards. Do you do this because you don''t know how difficult it will be for you and us to do business here if humans start using things like that at random? Tan, the king of the demons, who quietly follows Jae-young and has a grand wish topletely stain Arcadia with darkness in his heart, even if he is in a position where he is caught for 10 years. Strangely enough, however, as the dream became more and more distant, he lost his temper and threw a small fist at El. die! die! You damn useless chicken! Unlike before, Tan attacks El with sincere hatred. In response to his reckless reaction, L immediately responded and started a fierce counterattack. Where are you touching! You ugly bat bastard! Did you know that I would make such an enormous thing? All I can see is a simple flow! I just told you what you see, so why are you fucking with me! You shameless whole chicken! If you see humans shooting at that, will that sapling stay still? whatever! So is this my fault? Oh yes! Where do you die today and let me die! Let''s see the end! Puck puck ppaak ppaak. Today, Tan and L engage in a fierce battle with vigorous punches and kicks, making fierce and cool hitting sounds. Jaeyoung, who was watching the life and death of these people who seemed to be more serious than before, soon turned his head toward Haimer, who was pulling his clothes with a worried face. Hey... Dex hyung. Is this really okay? what? No... I think this is a bit too much. It was too far away to see the exact site of the explosion, but the huge sh and shock wave emitted at the moment of the explosion. And his face was filled with deep fear and worry because he had witnessed the majestic power of destruction that devours everything with his own two eyes. Well... if it fell into the hands of a normal human, it could be a big deal. A weapon with such destructive power that it would not be strange topletely annihte the entire continent, or to be exact, the entirety of Arcadia. If this masterpiece of Haimer was revealed, it was only natural that the current politicalndscape that dominates this continent would face a period of upheaval that wouldpletely change it. But that''s why I thought Jaeyoung was genuinely having fun. How deep in the world and setting does this damn game have?'' A game that cannot be directly controlled by a gamepany called an operator. This game, which was so free that the president who controls and oversees the entirepany, personally stepped forward and asked himself a difficult favor, was so detailed and detailed that at times it gave me goosebumps. You create these ridiculous things just because you gave some support to an NPC? It''s something you can''t find in a normal game.'' Unlike general users who enjoy ying freely and unpredictably with free will, NPCs only passively act ording to given algorithms and system settings. It was the charm of Arcadia that even these NPCs, who always had to repeat monotonous and boring daily life, seemed to be alive and breathing as if they were a single person, but now Haimer has gone beyond that level. I read and study theoretical books and eventually invent something new that no one knows about...'' A realm close to creation. Was it possible because these settings originally existed, or did this NPC called Haimer create something new that didn''t exist? That moment when you''re struggling in your head about why all of this is possible. Various messages began to appear in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [A phenomenal achievement. A new horizon of magical engineering has opened.] [NPC''s rank has risen significantly.] [A new job Cannon Shooter'' has been created.] [A new magic school Cannonphilia'' has been listed in the Gael Federation.] Cannon Shooter...? A new ss cannon shooter created with the word that a new horizon of magical engineering has opened. I don''t know exactly what kind of job it is, but Jaeyoung could instinctively guess what the situation was like when he saw Haimer looking at him with bright eyes. Has this Haimer be the master of a new school...?'' Magic engineers of various schools formed in dozens of cities in the Gael Federation. If you look closely, each is different, but in the study of magic engineering, which is roughly divided into fourrge branches, Haimer himself created another new branch. A branch called the Canonphilia School. And new messages appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [Haimer shows deep goodwill and trust to the yer.] [Likeness toward the yer increases to the maximum.] [The reward item Basic theory of turret instation'' will be given.] At the same time as saying that the reward item will be provided, Jaeyoung Haimer sticks out something towards him. ncing at the object he was offering, Jaeyoung soon realized what reward he was trying to give. You wrote the book yourself, so you want to give it to me? [The theory of energy condensation using mana and bombardment using it.] At first, an unfinished spell book with an extremely long and verbose name. However, the old theory that Haimer was presenting now had been transformed into apletely new name, and was exuding its presence as apletelypleted magic book. You saved my life and helped meplete a theory that I had been thinking about for a long time. This alone is infinitely insufficient. Haimer hesitated, not knowing where to turn, with a slightly flushed face, perhaps feeling embarrassed as he spoke. He then spoke to Jaeyoung in a small voice like an ant crawling. thank you so much. It''s too much to say it''s in return, but I still want my brother to have this. A sign of sincerity and a sign of gratitude. If you think of the dragon''s transcendent magical knowledge as the suzerain of magic in Kervenian''s Rare and the use of an enormous amount of the highest-level magic materials as an experiment, it would not be wrong to say that it was an infinitely insufficient reward, but Jae-young smiled and read the book. Picked up. thanks. Then I will be happy to receive it. [Obtained the reward item Basic Theory of Turret Instation''.] Hehehe. Hymer is smiling briskly as if he is happy to have received his present. At his reaction, Jaeyoung smiled slightly and opened the detail window of the item he had just acquired. [Basic theory of turret instation: sealing] This is a magic book that allows you to change jobs to the hidden ss turret designer''. This book was written by the master of the Cannonphilia School, and contains all the theories necessary for basic turret design and production in detail. Ummm..... Hidden ss turret designer. A job name that seemspletely different from the canon shooter that was created as a new job earlier. Just looking at the name, it seemed like it was a job that would allow him to create and install magic turrets like Haimer, so Jae-young let out a sigh inwardly as he looked at the masterpiece he had created. Isn''t this... really just ruining the bnce?'' No matter who it is, it is a job like a time bomb that will eventually wipe out the entire continent with a turret that has powerparable to that of an atomic bomb. I did wonder if it was a job that was created after being nerfed to some extent. Yeah..... But just looking at it, it seems like I don''t even care about bnce... Just looking at the job she''s ying as a troubled wanderer, Arcadia just gave away the bnce. Thinking that that''s why another crazy job was born, Jaeyoung licked his lips and put the magic book in his inventory. Then... Now that we seem to have achieved our purpose here, shall we move on? Haimer, who lived in confinement for a little over a month, devoted himself to research in Cervenian''s Lair. He may not know it, but the situation outside was more urgent than he thought, and it was a serious situation, so Jae-young nned to go back immediately. Are you already? hmm? Why is there any problem? However, Haimer is taken aback and taken aback by that statement. He opened his mouth cautiously and rolled his eyes at Jaeyoung''s question. Ah, there are so many books I havent read yet... Thousands... tens of thousands of books stuck in Cervenians rare. There were many misceneous books, but there were well over thousands of books rted to magic theory and magic, so he wanted to stay here for as long as possible. Um...then let''s do this. After hearing Haimer''s thoughts, Jae-young thought deeply. He gave me a strangely evil smile and offered me a sweet offer that I couldn''t refuse. If you do what I ask for, I will let you borrow the books you want in return. However, it is absolutely prohibited to inform or provide it to others. You should read it only when you are alone. Really? then. Instead, the things I ask for should alwayse first. Could you do that for me? Haimer pondered over that question for a moment. And he responded by clenching his fists as if he had made a firmmitment to something. Thats right. please do anything I''ll do anything if you let me continue to see only those magic books. Jaeyoung replied with a bright smile. Yes... Our Haimer is a very nice boy. While thinking of all kinds of ns to eat it all the way down to the marrow and pluck out the soul. Chapter 285 Chapter 285 A Prelude to War Jaeyoung and Haimer spent a month hiding in Cervenian''s Lair. During that time, a strange and bizarre wind blew through the situation on the Japanese continent. -The time hase to avenge the humiliation suffered by the Japanese continent! -If we all join forces and attack all at once, even the JoXjing guys won''t be able to do anything. -Let''s advance north with the Shoen Empire! Before the Empire of Japan, there will be only the glory of victory! - Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Japanese Empire! Posts that have engulfed bulletin boards in Japan. Although the articles were written and posted on different ounts, they were constantly talking about simr content and topics as if they had promised. -Let''s all join forces and attack the Korean continent! Their collective movement to unite and dominate the Korean continent. At first, people who saw the nonsensical article snorted and made sarcastic remarks. - Suddenly what kind of war? -Well..... Do I really have to do that? It''s annoying - there''s no good reward, and there''s no benefit to doing that. Users who enjoy games simply because they like Arcadia and virtual reality. For them, the article asking them to invade another continent without any great reward or profit was just absurd bullshit, so they lightly ignored it, but thements on these articles had a slightly different atmosphere. -that''s right. How much damage have we suffered because of these bastards? - The Shouen Empire, which used to be fine, was taken over by those fucking pirates. -I joined the main scenario at that time, but was swept away by a tsunami and threw away rare items. - Just thinking about our guild hideout that disappeared to ashes in Ban... My teeth grind. - Come to think of it, is that so? Didn''t those damn bastards attack us first? The invasion of the ck Pirates and the fall of Poseia. The Korean continent, which had been enjoying peaceful adventures, suddenly invaded the Japanese continent and buried all the naval power and fortresses of the Shoen Empire in the depths of the sea. The scale of those who suffered as a result could not be ignored, but there was another incident that caused a huge shockwave that was iparable to him. It was the worst disaster on the Japanese continent and a major event that has not yet fully recovered. Ban Incident. Under the name of Kill The Dragon, this case, which was proudly and permanently stamped on the incident/ident bulletin board of Arpendia, was caused by a user who came over from Korea without anyone knowing. yer dex. It is not Korea, but the reason why he dared to cross over to the Japanese continent and carry out the dragon raid is still unknown, but the aftermath of the damage that urred in the process was so great that he could not dare to speak of forgiveness. -How much would it be if the funds were blown because of that bastard? -Well..... ording to the media articles I saw, it said that at least tens of trillions would pass? - Tens of trillions? Are you saying it''s so awesome? - Still, the price of all items skyrocketed after that incident. Don''t you know how much people are still suffering because of it? A huge incident thatpletely paralyzed the economy and distribution system of the entire continent of Japan. In particr, the fact that the delicately formed bnce of political power was disturbed in an instant and the sense of crisis of war greatly increased also contributed greatly to their enmity. -I know? Do you get pissed off when you think about it? - Damn you bastards. They always curse at us as war criminals, so what''s the difference between them? -Are you saying it''s okay to mess around with such recklessness as a game? The public opinion of Japanese users began to simmer and boil. Japanese users, who at first ignored and passed it off with a sullen face whenever an article that raised such hostility was posted, began to harbor anger and hatred from the depths of their hearts without even knowing it. Without noticing the intention hidden in these writings. * * * The Cab Investigation Office, the official intelligence agency of the Japanese government. There was an operation that was recently systematically carried out here, where domestic and foreign intelligence collection, counterintelligence, and numerous secret operations missions were performed and handled with the single zeal of national security. Member of the covert operation. This operation, which was promoted jointly with the Cyber Command of the Special Unit of the Self-Defense Forces under themand of the Chief Cab Secretary, was a collective and indiscriminate propaganda and agitation towards the Japanese people through Arfandia. Using thousands of tens of thousands of ounts secretly secured by the Japanese intelligence department, repeatedly creating and disseminating messages with simr content, consciously or unconsciously nting a single message in the minds of most Japanese people. Director Yasuhiro, who had been intensively responsible for this operation for as long as a month, was reporting to his immediate superior, Hajigen Chateau, with a bright expression on his face. The covert operation is going smoothly. Currently, major intemunities and SNS, including Arfandia, are full of bacsh and hatred toward Korea, and public opinion is pouring in that we should take retaliatory measures against the Korean continent as intended. Contrary to the lukewarm reaction from before, from a certain moment, the feeling of huge hatred and disgust grew to the point that no one could handle it. Because of this, the rtionship between Korea and Japan was worse than ever. -Doards to eat. I wish they all disappeared from this world. -Why do people who would be sitting on the street right away even if we imposed economic sanctions just a little bit are so mean? -Give me Takeshima, South Korean bastards. Why are you illegally upying other people''snd! -Anyway, JoXjing can''t be helped? They reformed them, but they didn''t know how grateful they were and talked about aggression. Beyond the situation in the game, all sorts of rice cakes about sensitive topics between the political diplomacy and history between the two countries are scattered. And these atmospheres and contents immediately flowed among Korean users, leading to extreme conflict. - Ha ha ha ha What are you saying? Those ind monkeys. -Economic sanctions? I didn''t know before, but now I don''t? On the topic that everyone is being pushed by Ajin hahahahaha. I don''t understand it well because it''s about monkeys~ ^^ -Yes~ Take it if you twist it. Dokdo is ournd! Evebeb. river to river. An online public opinion contest that shows the true nature of Jagangducheon, where there is no retreat. The public sentiment of the two countries, which had been trying hard to suture and improve, was falling through the basement and into the abyss, but the Japanese political world was actively stimting the situation rather than trying to deal with it. [Recently, the behavior of Koreans has be so vicious and impudent that it is hard to see with both eyes open. I have doubts and doubts about whether those who illegally upied Takeshima and are always busy pointing fingers at Japan with a gaze full of criticism and hatred will be able to develop into a rtionship that can y a partner role as our neighbors. What should the Japanese government and our people do?] [To actively consider ways to take international action regarding the illegal upation and unauthorized upation of the Korean government, which ignores the historic agreements and treaties regarding effective control of Takeshima. I will.] Famous members of the National Assembly, political critics, professors, editorial writers, and even famous actors. People who have their own recognition and authority in society, all of them, stood up, grabbed the microphone, and spoke out their beliefs in front of the camera. And in this situation, Hajiken Chateau, head of the Cab Office of Investigation, couldn''t hide his satisfied smile and muttered with a wide smile for the first time in a long time. This... the next general election is sure to be the Prime Minister''s victory as well. I dont know how long it has been since this conservative tendency has be mainstream. Japan''s Conservative Party, which has always been struggling amid criticism from the Democratic Party and public opinion. However, the Japanese people, who had been pointing fingers and cursing at the current government every time,pletely turned around in this public opinion maneuver and stood on their side, and everyone was shouting. Lets show those damn joking bastards a lesson! Letspletely drive out Jo X-jing from maind Japan! Lets eat all of Zhao X Jings continent! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Japanese Empire! It''s as if they''vepletely returned to the days of the Japanese Empire, which caused World War II. Looking at the Japanese people crying out for war in the madness of revenge, hatred, and hatred with reason paralyzed, Chateau asked with a face full of anticipation. So, how is the situation in the game going right now? A situation in which Kazuki has been recruited and uses his high management authority to collect internal information in Arcadia in real time. To his question, Yasuhiro immediately answered as if he had waited. Currently, it is said that the two great empires of the Japanese continent have agreed to cooperate with each other. Although the grand scenario provided earlier has not started, assuming that the current situation continues, the war will inevitably begin within a month at thetest. Intelligence received from Branch Manager Kazuki, who is in charge of the Japanese branch. So there was no room to doubt the reliability of the information, so Chateau said with a very happy face. Not long. Thoroughly prepare and prepare so that there will be no problems until the end. All right. Director Yasuhiro salutes at the end of that instruction and goes outside. Chateau, who looked at his back for a moment, took a deep breath and leaned back in the chair, recalling the moment when her long-cherished imagination became a reality. Coborating with those goddamn thugs. What a vain delusion. Entities that don''t officially exist, but are secretly permeating the Japanese government and society as a whole. Far-right forces who once cried for greater East Asia co-prosperity, yearning for and dreaming of the golden age of the Greater Japan Empire. Embracing that belief, he smiled as he watched the Japanese people change little by little while embracing thoughts simr to his own. All for the glory of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan. Without even dreaming of what the results of the stories created by all these efforts would flow. * * * Hyaa..... Its been a while since Ive been here. Haimer returns to the Gael Federation, which is located on the Korean continent after a long time. He muttered as he looked around here and there with a hazy expression, as if he had a special feeling that he had returned to his hometown. By the way... somehow the atmosphere is strange, isn''t it? An atmosphere full of tension. Haimer tilted his head with a puzzled expression as he looked at the streets full of chilly cold air, but Jaeyoung calmly told him the reason. I told you. There will be a war sooner orter. Is it this fast...? It''s less than a month since he''s been away. Haimer was startled by thepletely changed atmosphere of the city in that short period of time, but he couldn''t hide his embarrassment because of the vicious crowds. Uh... hyung, doesnt it feel like people are surrounding us? I know? People besieging them, forming a circle as if blocking the escape route. Jaeyoung looked at them with strange eyes. And soon, a middle-aged man with a stern appearance jumped out and asked with a suspicious look. Where do you guyse from? A face I haven''t seen before? Jaeyoung and Haimer were kicked out of Mechanium and moved to a nearby city. It was one of the Gael Federation cities that he couldn''t even remember the name of, so Jaeyoung just shrugged, but Haimer stuttered and shouted at his question. My name is Haimer, a magic engineer from Mechanium. Mechanium...? Are you a guy from the main school of steam? When he said he came from Mechanium, he immediately mentioned the school that Haimer belonged to before. At his question, Haimer muttered with a bitter smile. Yeah... not anymore, but I was a part of it at one time. Once upon a time...? So you''re saying it''s not now? People who sway with puzzled eyes at those words. Heimer shrinks little by little from the stinging gazes of people who look at him with suspicion. However, he suddenly looked up at the warm energy he felt on his shoulder. Jaeyoung smirks as if telling him not to worry. In ce of the bewildered Hymer, he shouted in a loud voice among the crowd of NPCs in a town whose name he couldn''t even remember. You seem too nervous, so Ill introduce you instead. This guy was once a member of the main school of Steam, but he was emunicated and a magical engineer from Mechanium. He was once an ordinary magical engineer who was once in danger of being beaten to death in the scene of a people''s trial. However, now he is no longer just an ordinary being. A being who acquired the infinite magical knowledge of the transcendent dragon, established his own theory within it, and opened up innovation and new horizons in magical engineering that no one else had ever created. I am Haimer, the master and first founder of the Canonphilia school. That''s how he first appeared in the Gael Federation. Showing off a huge presence that can''t even bepared to before. Chapter 286 Chapter 286 I''m taking over here from now on (1) This is Master Haimer of the Canonphilia School. At Jaeyoung''s introduction with a confident face, people''s eyes were focused on Haimer. And soon, with a look of disbelief, mutterings were heard from here and there. Are you still very blue like a child? Does the title of Master seem so easy? Canonophilia? A school I''ve never heard of? Those who tilt their heads and do not erase their doubtful eyes. However, the tough-looking man who seemed to be their representative looked over Jaeyoung and Haimer with sharp eyes and introduced himself. I am the Master Carrier of the Gravity School. The Gravity School studies magic theories rted to gravity and applies them to reality. As the Master who leads them, he asked in a voice full of disbelief. Are you also one of those damned spies? spy? What do you mean? When Jaeyoung asked a question he couldn''t understand, he said with a cold expression. If you''re a resident of this Gael Federation, there''s no way you wouldn''t know, right? Jaeyoung and Haimer have beenpletely away from this continent for a month. There was no way the two could know exactly what had happened here, so they looked at each other and tilted their heads, but the carrier who saw them briefly told them about the recent incident. So... Recently, outsiders with unfamiliar faces have been frequenting many cities in the Gael Federation, and after investigating suspicious people, they found that they were spies from other continents. Is this the situation? okay. The main defense facilities and the size of the troops as they roamed from city to city. In addition, he collected the main locations of the Mana Stone Mine. Things that can only lead to serious trouble if you just ignore them. Those who openly collected military information and major secrets of the Gael Federation. Knowing that signs of war had been foreseen a long time ago through President Lee Mi-yeon, Jae-yeong muttered with a dull expression. Has the Shen Empire already started to move... thats fast. Jaeyoung muttered to himself without realizing it. However, Carrier, who heard his words clearly, said with a gloomy look in his eyes. What did you just say? hmm? what? Jaeyoung opens her eyes wide as if asking why. However, despite the naive expression of not knowing anything, Carrier said with a wary face. I never said that the spies were from the Shoen Empire, so how do you know that? The Masters of the Gael Federation have already figured out the identity of the spies by any means. Now, he was about to get together to have a serious discussion about future measures, but his behavior, which seemed to already know secret information that was not yet officially known to the outside world, made the carrier look at Jae-young with a more suspicious face. The more you look at it, the more suspicious it bes. You or that kid who says he''s from here. The Gael Federation has extremely few adventurers. Even adventurers who came to this ce, which was still close to the outskirts, were limited to merchants to trade mana stones or those who belonged to the Mage Tower and conducted research, so Carrier soon began writing a novel in his head. Khehehe. I see. It was. He muttered with a sinister smile as if he had be a madman. And then he shouted in a loud voice to the crowd. These guys must be spies from the damn Shouen Empire that we captured this time! Yeah too! Somehow suspicious! The owner of this city and the master of the Gravity School, Carrier''s im. His influence was so strong that no one dared to ignore it, so doubts arose in people''s eyes for a moment, but it soon turned into strong conviction. By the fact that the two strangers who have suddenly appeared are spies. You were emunicated from the school you belonged to and kicked out of the vige where you lived your whole life. I don''t know what the hell he did wrong, but he must have been scared because he was driven out alone and had no ce to go, hungry and helpless. Isn''t that when you met this adventurer? That''s not it, because this brother appeared right before he was beaten to death by the vigers... Haimer opens his mouth to exin that it''s not that. But Carrier shouted, turning his head back to the crowd as if not paying attention to his story. This adventurer is definitely a spy instigated by the Shouen Empire! In order to freelye and go in this Gael Federation while his identity is unknown, he must have needed help from inside! Wouldn''t this child who was emunicated and kicked out in such a situation be very suitable to use? Promising to pay a huge reward in exchange for betraying our Gael Federation and the city we''ve lived our whole lives for, and cooperating with us! Isn''t it! Haimer is abandoned in the city where he lived and grew up. And Jae-young, who approached him and suggested that he cooperate in betraying the Gael Federation and collecting rted information. It was nothing more than a delusional novel stemming from an absurd misunderstanding, but the crowd began to be fascinated by the story that seemed usible for some reason. right! Bring up a school you''ve never heard of! You despicable spy bastards! Abandon the city and the entire Commonwealth for being emunicated? Are you still human? Ooh! You filthy wormy bastards! An angry crowd slowly approaching with bloody eyes. Seeing them like that, Haimer started to walk backwards with a frightened expression, as if the previous trauma wasing back. What is it, master? Why are those people so sensitive? Um... thats so stupid. To make hasty decisions with a narrow and biased mind. A crowd full of rage. And Jaeyoung smiled evilly as he looked at the carrier who was ted looking at them. El, give me strength. hmm? You mean all of a sudden? A situation in which you are surrounded and threatened by an angry mob. However, Tan and L were showing too calm and weak appearances to feel that this situation was not threatening at all. Master, cant we just take out the turret that humans made and show it to us? Just looking at the power, it seems like everyone is going to cry out loud saying theyre sorry? that''s right. That turret will definitely prove this kid''s skills. Even if not all residents are magic engineers, the Gael Federation has enough knowledge to guess the basic level. That''s why there is no way that this crowd doesn''t know the greatness of the turret that Heimer created. But even so, Jaeyoung didn''t reap the probability boiling in his body and just smiled. Why do you have to do that? huh? What do you mean? Tan tilts his head as if he doesn''t understand and asks back. Jaeyoung replied to him with an evil smile. Why do I have to exin to those who want to be summarily punished by peoples court while driving them like spies? The Gael Federation, which pursues a federal system and does not have a ruling ss such as a king or aristocrats. However, what Jaeyoung witnessed here was nothing more than a group of ignorant and stupid people. Every city has different regtions andws, rejects and opposes them just because they are from their city and does not belong to a school, and instigates this way. ? The Gael Federation finally reached freedom under the protection of the 5 Magic Towers and the Saint Empire. With the development of abundant mana stone mines and magical engineering, Jaeyoung could see the dark shadow cast in this advanced civilization, although it was going through a more brilliant and dazzling golden age than ever before in history. Do whatever you can to prevent other schools from winning! Because we have to win this academic conference and take the highest grade mana stone. Anyway, our city is the best. If anything, don''t be nice to guys from other cities. No matter how nice you are, they''ll steal our inventions or research data and stab you in the back. Gael Federation? What do you know? It was enough for our city to receive subsidies well. utter closure. And the masters of several schools who have vested interests in it. Watching the actions of the vested interests, wearing the name of the Federation and the mask of the Republic, pretending to be no different from kings and nobles, Jae-young radiated that power more intensely than ever. A hawk is medicine for crazy people who wont listen. Woo woo woo. Merlin, the great mage of truth. Merlin, the great wizard of the 8th circle who erased Poseia in the past from Arcadia with a single blow. When his power, known as the disciple who received magic directly from the former Dragon Lord, descended into the world again, the crowd surrounding Jae-young and Haimer and approaching slowly were shocked. Woo woo woo. The mana thatpletely engulfed this area. Those who felt the unparalleled enormous power that was pushed and boiled by the control of powerful mana that transcended human limits froze on the spot and groaned. What the hell is this... Oh my God... the amount of mana... the amount of mana! A magic sensor held by someone. The crystal, which seemed to function like abat power meter, emitted an intense red light toward Jaeyoung and made strange noises. Ugh... Who are you all... The spirited figure from before is nowhere to be seen, and the Gravity School''s carrier groans and trembles with a stunned expression on his face. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung murmured self-mockingly, as if he was so pathetic. why? Until just now, you were trying to grab it like that, and you didnt do more? Jae-Young approaches slowly, emitting violent mana that would blow away everything if he did. As if a storm had raged, the crowd backtracked in line with his steps amidst the torrents of mana and clothes fluttering violently. Ugh... Gravity waspletely overwhelmed by the simple operation of mana and couldnt even speak properly. That''s because he... no, the numerous magic engineers in the Gael Federation were imperfect wizards. Those who admire wizards more than anyone else, worship magic, and indulge in countless magical theories. However, paradoxically, those who cannot walk the path of a wizard due to their lowly magical talent and mana sensitivity. That''s why, in front of these people, Merlin, the great wizard of the 8th circle, who only exists in legends with mighty magical power, was no different from an absolute being with absolute authority. I dont like it... no, its disgusting. You wielding such omnipotent power, and those who im to be masters of that proud school. Isnt everyone going to be doing whatever they want like this and iming to be a republic without a king? Armband. Mindo of savagery itself, nothing more and nothing less. It was a problem that would normally be passed over casually, but when it happened, Jaeyoung had to think about it for a moment in this dirty mood. I think we should start flying from here instead of from the Shouen Empire?'' Jae-young is worried about why this ce should be erased from the map first. However, as soon as Lee Mi-yeon''s face flickered in her eyes, she let out a deep sigh and muttered. Eh. What is that bastard''s secret friend really? ...? I don''t know what that means, so I''m just rolling my eyes. Jaeyoung looked at him for a moment, nowpletely terrified and shriveled up like a mouse, and then Jaeyoung decided to dispose of him. For now, even if its because of the mission, Ill be spoiled, but Ill put up with it. Thats what... He didnt seem to understand what he meant. However, Jaeyoung suddenly raised his mana and cast magic. Giga Lightning. Kwaaang. 7th circle magic giga lightning. A thunderbolt suddenly strikes from a cloudless sky. The huge electric shock that struck the statue of Carrier in the town''s central square instantly turned the huge statue into a red-hot, unknown lump of metal. 7...7 circle... The highest ranking wizard far too high to be called a spy. Carrier, who finally realized how stupid he had written, looked at Jaeyoung and Haimer with a horribly distorted face, but Jaeyoung smiled brightly at him and said, Get down, you bastard. Chapter 287 Chapter 287 I''ll take over here from now on (2) Gael Federation, a united state made up of dozens ofrge and small cities. Although they form the only and unique political system on the continent of Arcadia, they are so contradictory stupid, foolish, selfish and narrow-minded that they even create the illusion of seeing a democratic society with a primitive and uncivilized system. Then lets start the discussion now. Everyone knows what the agenda is, right? A ce where leaders representing dozens of cities and masters of each school divided into countless branches gathered together. However, there was no dignity or dignity to be found in their appearance. All I see is those who babble with loud voices and insist that everything they say is right. Just give mana stones to the Shoen Empire or whatever? Is this man crazy! The amount we give to the Mage Tower and the Saint Empire is staggering, but to give those precious mana stones to those who don''t know where they came from? that''s right! And those greedy ones don''t even ask for a little! Provide 100kg of the highest quality mana stones a year? Ha, this is just crazy. The amount the Gael Federation takes in a year is less than 500 kg, but the Shoen Empire demands 20% of it. This alone was an outrageous request that many people hated, but that was not all. Is that a problem? You''re demanding everything our school has developed! I''m not just selling inventions, I''m just passing on everything from magic theory to crafting blueprints! If not, they say they will take it by force, but this is just for war, are we going to trade face to face? uh? The Gael Federation caught spies sent by the Shen Empire. They were very indignant at the fact that sensitive military information and ssified materials were being secretly stolen from their territory, and went to the Shoen Empire''s envoys to formally protest, but they stood out proudly. [Isn''t this kind of covert information collection and covert work done between countries? It seems that the Gael Federation is also carrying out secret operations against the Shoen Empire, or ns to do so, but I wonder if it is something to visit and argue with such resentment . He quickly changed his stance to the point where even Udyr would raise both hands and feet without his previous benevolent and docile appearance. [Now that this has happened, we can discuss the future more honestly. I''ll tell you straight forward. Come into the arms of our empire. If you do that, even if it''s not the Gael Federation, I''ll guarantee the safety of the city and its citizens. It would be impossible to tolerate the current method, but if you wish, you can be granted the title of lord and maintain the existing dominion.] [ What is it?] If you don''t kneel and surrender, revealing your ambition to devour the Gael Federation without hesitation. The Shinigami who has been threatening bloodshed. It was too violent and threatening to be said by the representative of the delegation who came for peace, but he spoke in a sincere tone as if what he was saying was not a single lie. [Deliver to all cities in the Gael Federation. The great emperor of our empire has already made a great decision. Beyond this small city, the entire Federation of Gael... and to present the glory of our continent to the entire continent you belonged to. And I hope you don''t dare resist that honor.] After delivering the requirements for surrender and subjugation, the Shen Empire''s delegation left the Gael Federation. And right away, at the urgently convened Gael Federation leaders'' meeting, Junkrat, the master of the steampunk school, opened his mouth with a serious face. I am well aware that what they are asking for is absurd. But everyone knows that the atmosphere outside right now is worse than expected. The meeting room became quiet at those words. And soon, some people started to nod their heads. that''s right. There are already signs that some adventurers are nning to attack our city in groups. At first there were only a few of them, buttely the group seems to be increasing. Is your city like that? Even so, the border area is already the limit. We are in desperate need of support from other cities. An abnormal phenomenon seen in several cities bordering the Shoen Empire. It was the appearance of a group of angry adventurers who hadn''t been seen before. You damn Josenjins! Do you think we''ll be watching you in silence? Wait and see! One day, we willpletely take over your city! Chick Show! How dare you insult our Japanese empire? Do you know how to be safe! You guys! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire of Japan! Extreme right-wing groups who are paralyzed by hatred of Korea, pouring all sorts of curses and curses at the NPCs in the game, revealing their hatred without hesitation. Those who voluntarily flocked to attack the Gael Federation, already heightened by the gunshotless cyber war taking ce on the Inte, were appearing little by little, but the number was not so great. However, there were enough numbers to arouse fear among the NPCs gathered here. That''s why Master Dumble of the Steam Main school, sitting among those seriously gathering and discussing, looked around as if he had discovered something and asked with a frown. Wait a minute... Come to think of it, where the hell did the carrier bastard go? The master of the Graffiti School, a fierce enemy of the Steam Main School and an enemy, and the head carrier who controls the city in the immediate vicinity of Mechanium, a city ruled by Dumble. All of them looked bewildered when they noticed that they had not attended the urgent convening meeting, which is a must for a representative of a city and a school, but none of them knew the exact reason. under. It''s really varied. In such a precarious and urgent situation, there is a representative who neglects his duty. Thats right. You must be held ountable for this neglect of duty. Let''s reduce the allocation of mana stones to the maximum to be handed over to the Gravity School next time. Representatives were in a hurry to rush at this opportunity and bite it. However, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut as they suddenly opened the conference room door and saw three people appearing. Sorry for beingte. It took time because I had an urgent matter to deal with. The Master Carrier of the Gravity School, who appeared out of breath and busily appeared. Everyone at the meeting table knew his face, so no one was taken aback by Carrier''s appearance, but Dumble was shocked when he saw the two people following him. You are you? Long time no see. How have you been? Oh hello. Jaeyoung greets them by waving as if they are happy, and Haimer cautiously greets them, paying attention to whether they are still a bit awkward. Thinking of what happened in the Mechanium, it wasn''t thatfortable and pleasant, so Dumble, who was full of difort, soon mumbled and turned the arrow toward the carrier. Why did you bring unrted strangers to this important emergency meeting? Besides, what was the reason foring sote alone? Do you know that we are so leisurely? I couldn''t help it. It just took me some time as I have some basic checks before I bring these two here. Carrier''s face looks tired. Where did that original ferocious face and warlike spirit go? Dumble and others all looked at the two with half-curious, half-questioning eyes, as if they were aware of his behavior as he only looked at the two of them while crouching down like a toothless tiger. I looked up. First of all, since I dont have time, Ill tell you directly. As the master of the Gravity school and a member of the representative of the Gael Federation, I request all representatives to certify the creation of the new magic engineering Cannonphilia and the subsequent birth of the master. What? A new magical technology...? At that, everyone was startled and turned their heads toward the carrier with round eyes. What does that mean? Founding a new magical technology? Is this kid? gibberish! That bastard was part of our Steam main until just a month ago. How can a newbie who has not yet fully mastered the theory of our school...? The creation of a new magical technology. This was not an easy issue for them. Magic that is more difficult and dangerous than any other discipline. Although the risk is significantly lower than that of real wizards who umte mana in their hearts, it is true that magic engineers always risk their lives in response to unpredictable mana. That''s why he couldn''t believe the fact that he had created a new magic technology, and that the owner who would wear the title of master was a young man of 20 years old, Heimer. It''s hard to believe, but it''s true. Even the artifact he created based on his knowledge of magic has been confirmed. I''ll bet my all and guarantee it here and now. This child has a level of magical engineering knowledge and skill that isparable to me and everyone else here. Huh..... That can''t be..... Even though they swore to risk everything, those who didn''t erase their eyes of doubt. Their faces wanted to pour out questions with curiosity about what the hell they were doing, but no one could get the questions out of their hearts out of their mouths. Are all the people who can be said to be representatives of the Gael Federation gathered here? yes. That''s right. An adventurer who naturally treats the carrier and asks. And Carrier, who is responding politely to him with a very cautious attitude. Everyone had their mouths wide open with a bewildered look at a sight that would never have been seen considering his tyrannical nature, but they were shocked by Jaeyoung''s subsequent deration. Im only going to tell you once, so open your ears and listen carefully. From this moment on, I will take over the Gael Federation. ...? ...? Representatives looking at them with expressions as if they were asking what the hell they were talking about. However, Jaeyoung continued to say what he had to say so calmly. From this moment on, mana stones held by all cities in the Gael Federation are forcibly requisitioned to protect the borders of the outlying cities. Also, we n to gather all the magical engineers and forcefully recruit them, so please select people who are at a usable level and send them all to the border cities. Forced requisition of mana stones. And he deres the forced conscription of the magic engineers of each school. At the absurd demand, which has never been seen before, burials immediately erupted here and there. What what? Forced conscription? You want me to spit out all the mana stones? why. I know that I have enough because I received a lot of mana stones because some kind of academic conference was over recently. Don''tin and bring it back. Huh bullshit! Do you think our city will do that? What does it matter what happens to other cities! It''s just a matter of defending our city well. Each of them should take care of their own work as they normally do... The city that received good grades at the academic conference and took a lot of mana stones reacted strongly. However, they had no choice but to shut their mouths firmly after pouring out strong negative words. Woo woo woo. Powerful mana rising from Jaeyoung''s body. Jaeyoung, who drew the power of Merlin, the great wizard of the 8th circle, explosively released mana at a level close to violence that overwhelmed everyone and asked with a bright smile. Do you want to die here or do you want to listen to me when I say nice things? The Gael Federation survives as a federation while pursuing a republic. But at this moment. A mighty tyrant was born that no one dared to resist. He has grand ambitions to realize self-reliant national defense on thisnd. An absolute monarch of iron man rule that is close to the ideal who exists only in the imagination. Chapter 288 Chapter 288 Making Pigs and Dogs (1) The Gael Federation is full of dreams of building a free republic without a king. However, this federation system that Jaeyoung saw was just an illusion. What kind of federation are these guys who are only busy dividing mana stones and subsidies, and who are anxious to take advantage of their own interests with factions split from each other in each city? I dont know if there is at least a human being who can hold the center. All of them are nothing more than ragtags who reinvent themselves. Even in an urgent situation where the entire country might be caught up in a war, those who are trying to fight fiercely because it is a waste to spit out just a few mana stones. That''s why Jaeyoung gave up persuasion itself and crushed everyone with mighty force. Now, if there is a city called Toda from now on, I will personally step in and erase it from this Arcadia before flying off to war, so feel free to tell me without any pressure. The one who doesn''t erase the smile on his face and blows a very bloodyment. However, despite such straightforward threats and coercion, none of the Masters representing each city in the Gael Federation could open their mouths. gripping support. Powerful mana oozing from his body. Those who werepletely overwhelmed by the transcendent magical force of the 8th Circle Archmage Merlin, who had never felt it before, could instinctively feel it. That the adventurers who were smiling so brightly in front of them now had the strength and will to realize what they said. So, in all the cities of the Gael Federation, phenomena that have never happened before began to ur. Hundreds, if not thousands, of magical engineers from each city were recruited and flocked to cities adjacent to the border with enormous supplies. Um... can I ask what you n to do now? The Master Carrier of the Gravity School, who speaks cautiously with a very low profile. After seeing Jaeyoung''s powerlessness to use the 7th circle magic so easily, he was as helpless as a pooped puppy. How far have you gathered? First of all, about 6,000 magic engineers have gathered in each city. In the case of mana stones, there were about 30,000 in the middle ss and about 2,000 in the case of the upper ss. The extraction of mana stones and the recruitment of magic engineers. A situation where all of these things are happening at the same time. It was expected that there would be a huge bacsh against this outrageous request, but surprisingly the whole process went smoothly. And...the Shoen Empire has delivered an ultimatum. next 3 weeks. If we don''t convey our intention to surrender within that time, we''ll take full control of the Gael Federation, even by force after that... The Shen Empire, who thought their intentions had already been revealed, dered war without hesitation. Thinking that there were no options other than war or humiliating surrender, the representatives of each city began to actively cooperate. is it so? Then ask everyone to gather. All of me? yes. Please tell me not to leave anyone out. When I was told to collect everything, the carrier gave me a puzzled look for a moment, then nodded and left. After he left, with the two remaining, Haimer muttered with a very nervous face. Can I really do well? Master of the Canonphilia school. He was still too young to hold a crucial position initiating new theories in magical engineering and leading a school and a city. To Hymer, who was just passionate about magical engineering and new theories, not interested in power or conflicts of interest, the position of Master was just a burdensome and cumbersome position. then. If not you, who else will take the ce? Haimer created a tremendous artifact by establishing a new theory that no one had ever thought of. Of course, he had no desire to reveal his special mithril turret, which was the final version and close to a decisive battle weapon, to the world, but even if that wasn''t the case, the theory he created was undoubtedly a magical engineering technology with enormous value. It is a theory that you created on your own without anyone''s help, and it is a technology that only you can create. In the future, many people will ask for instruction and pour out all sorts of questions, but who else can do it? Haimer achieved feats that no one, regardless of his age, dared to aplish. That''s why Jaeyoung said something yfully to him who was full of worries with a face that was not confident. If you keep dying like that, wont you lend me books? Hup! that that. Haimer is dedicated to this work, looking only at the opportunity to borrow the books. He took a deep breath at Jaeyoung''s words and spoke with a determined face as he did not want anything more desperately than to be able to indulge in the knowledge of dragons, the masters and masters of magic. Don''t worry about that. No matter what happens, I will do well. And Jaeyoung smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction with his answer. okay. Theres no need to work hard, so even if its rough, just take care of things. Jaeyoung has no intention of interfering or touching anything other than that, as long as he does everything he is told to do. Haimer asked him curiously. Um...but what exactly am I supposed to do? Jae-young, who collected all the people and mana stones, but never told him about the detailed n. That''s why Haimer was looking down at the people crowding outside the extension with anxious yet tense eyes. When you made a turret using basic iron or copper metal materials, how much did you say you could handle? Ordinary metals...? Not mana-friendly or rare special metals such as Mithril, butmon metals such as iron that are easily avable in huge reserves. Hymer, who was calcting something in his head, assuming that he would make a magic turret using these things, soon gave the answer with a frown. Hmm... To operate the turret stably, it would be possible to get to the level of low-level mana stones. Intermediate mana stones are possible if they are treated with special magic, but there is a high possibility that they will be overloaded after using them a few times. okay? yes. The exact number can be known only after checking the data through experiments, but first of all, general metals have the worst mana conductivity, so you should be prepared to reduce at least 30% of both destructive power and stability. Common metals are cheap and easy to use, but they are really inefficient. Mana''s metal mithril, which is said to be unmatched in mana conductivity and resistance stability and efficiency. Unlike Haimer''s masterpiece, which made all essories from the gun barrel to the support stand entirely out of mithril, if it is made of ordinary metals, it is inevitable to expect a tremendous reduction in power. However, Jaeyoung rather smiled at his answer. A decrease in power? rather good. yes....? To be honest... don''t you think the power of those turrets you made is too much? Haimer''s homemade mithril turret that devastated an area of about 100 meters in width and height with just one intermediate'' mana stone. As a top-notch mana stone, it had tremendous firepower that gave it a power close to that of an atomic bomb, so the situation in which the final weapon, which seems like it would drive the entire continent of Arcadia to ruin, spread to all corners of the continent, is a picture Jae-young absolutely wants. was not Well... that''s right. Haimer nodded, biting his lip as if admitting that that was too powerful. Jaeyoung waved his hand at his answer. Of course, it''s not that I don''t like it because it''s too powerful. As it is, someday I will be able to use it again. However, it doesn''t seem like something to be taken out carelessly in a situation like this, so if possible, let''s release it to the public below in a downgraded version. You don''t have to show all your cards in front of people. Originally, no matter how strong a martial arts master was, it was a national rule to hide 30% of his power, so Jae-young gave Haimer heartfelt advice. If possible, dont honestly tell me everything people ask, and use everything you can eat while looking at it as petty, dirty, and disgusting as possible. You have to live with power like that so you wont get caught. Rather than being a hogu, let''s be the truth. An idiot who wins is a better idiot than an idiot who loses. It was advice containing some deep philosophy of life, but Haimer looked at Jaeyoung with a puzzled expression and nodded his head. Ah.... Yes... Ill try... Haimer, who doesnt seem to agree with Jaeyoungs words yet. However, Jaeyoungughed as if he didn''t care about his reaction and got up from his seat. Then... Now, the kid whos starting to wonder if its a carrier or something, seems to have roughly gathered all the people, so shall we go out? Jaeyoung goes out humming a song as if he is really excited. Haimer, who followed him with an uneasy gaze, soon froze at the numerous gazes pierced by Jaeyoung and himself. ..... Is that kid mastering...? Huh... Disbelief, shock, surprise, bewilderment. Numerous city magic engineers looked at Haimer standing on the city wall with eyes mixed with various emotions. They were full of suspicion that they couldn''t understand why he had be a master, but since he had already been firmly seduced by the masters in each city, no one could openly express such doubts. Now, the people gathered here are temporarily forcibly conscripted ording to somew enacted to realize the self-defense of the Gael Federation. The time limit is until the moment when the invasion of the Shoen Empire ispletely stopped, and until then, I will not allow you to reject the instructions of I and I here, Haimer, for any personal reasons. What whatw? What is that...? You say you cant go back until the war is over? This cant be. It''s just a little bit of support! People who were immediately confused by the words. However, they reacted violently to Jaeyoung''s words as if a bomb had exploded. Oh, and the people here will temporarily break away from the existing school from now on and work as magic engineers belonging to the newly created Canonphilia school. It has already been discussed with the masters of each school, so don''t mumble. What what? Nonsense! Canon Philia is a school I''ve never heard of...! What nonsense is that! You mean to betray our city? Magical engineers united with pride and pride for their school. Immediately, when he was told that he threw away his school and belonged to a new school that he had never heard of, denunciations came out from here and there, and it started to change in an instant into a vicious atmosphere that seemed like it would cause a riot. Hey, master. Do you think they''re upset about something? Those who are likely to dere a strike at any moment andy down to stage a sit-in. Haimer was at a loss for what to do with the violent reaction beyond his imagination, but Jaeyoung looked at them for a moment and then muttered. Golden Goblin. Whoops. A golden goblin with only its head sticking out from the torn space at that brief call. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung said. Bring that. Chuckling... I get it. cooong. And soon, a massive figure emerged from the air tearing up the space. Looking at the object with an all-too-familiar appearance, Haimer raised his round eyes and asked. Tongue brother? I was told not to take this out earlier...? Jae-young, who is clearly acting inconsistently, as if the advice he gave 10 minutes ago was all bullshit. Haimer looked at him with a puzzled expression, but Jaeyoung answered the question so shamelessly. I dont understand why, so is there a good way? No, that''s the case... A new school that I''ve basically never heard of. Therefore, although he was looking at this situation negatively with eyes full of prejudice, it was no different from giving Jae-young special favors to the magic engineers gathered here now. Hmm... The supetive level is honestly too much... Shall we try the upper level this time...? A senior level...? huh. The seniors havent checked their power yet, have they? Jaeyoung smiled and nodded as if he had already made up his mind. Seeing him like that, Haimer thought about something for a moment, then sighed as if he had given up, and took a mana stone out of his pocket. Huh... I dont know anymore. At the same time, Hymer faithfully loads advanced mana stones into the turret at Jaeyoung''s words. While he was preparing tounch, Jaeyoung smiled madly at the thousands of magic engineers and masters of the Gael Federation who were watching their actions with curious eyes. I dont know why people areining, but write it clearly in your eyes. I''m ready...but are you really going to shoot...? Haimer asked with a nervous face and gulped his saliva. In response to his question, Jaeyoung gave a hand signal by lowering his hand from top to bottom. Perong. A mana stone flew towards him with a loud roar. Thousands of eyes quickly turned to the dot flying over the horizon, and the results were soon visible to all. Aaaaaaang. In the form of a mushroom cloud rising from afar. Looking at the mushroom cloud, Jaeyoung muttered in amazement with her eyes shining. Doesnt a high-grade mana stone also create a mushroom cloud? Although it''s a cute levelpared to the supetive. Jaeyoung smiles as if he has discovered something new. Seeing him like that, Tan asked with a puzzled look. Master... you say that is cute? A mushroom of death that literally destroys everything around it to choose the word cute. The lord of the Demon Realm looks at him with an indescribable gaze as he smirks while looking at it as if it is really cute. However, the reaction of other insignificant humans was simply fear itself. This cant be... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... What the hell is that... People who couldnt even speak properly with their mouths open as if their jaws would fall out from the astonishing destructive power. This is the strength of the Canonphilia school, you bastards. Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Making Pigs and Dogs (2) [Mithril Magic Turret: Legend] An artifact created by the genius engineer Haimer, the founder and master of the Cannonphilia school. It is made of 100% pure mithril and exerts special power through special arcane magic imprints. It is a strategic weapon that boasts tremendous firepower when reacting with unstable mana stones. - Restriction on use: Those who have been recognized by the producer Haimer''. -Durability: 1000000/1000000 -Up to 3 shots per minute. - 99.99% uracy of the bombardment system (2m error range at the specified coordinates) - 150% increase in horsepower amplification. -Increased mana stability by 30%. -Usage level: lowest to highest. -Special Skill: Overload. Heimer''s special mithril magic turret was named only by numbering without even a name. However, this turret, now fullypleted and given its role, was proudly showing off its grand appearance in the item detail window that popped up in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes, with the dazzling golden text attached only to items of legendary grade or higher. Hmm... It''s an instation type item. This is also quite peculiar. Heimer''s special magic turret, which is judged as an instation item'',pletely different from equipment items that are usually worn on a specific part of the body or consumption items that are consumed after taking or using it once. Looking at the judgment on the item, Jaeyoung was able to grasp at once that this item would not be of great use to ordinary users. It''s so heavy that you can''t even put it in your inventory, and hunting while dragging it around would be ridiculous. Arcadia''s unique system where items that exceed a certain volume and weight cannot be stored in the inventory and must be carried directly. Just as merchants drag wagons and carts and carry arge amount of trade goods, Jaeyoung imagined for a moment that they were hunting by carrying this turret that could not be put in their inventory. [hey! Uncle there! what are you doing! Monsters areing from all over the ce! Won''t you run away?] [Wait a minute! It will take some time to move the turret...] [Oh! I''m busy, but what! I''ming!] [Oh no! You fucking bastards! How expensive this turret is, if it runs away like this...!] The newest magic turret I bought with all my money. A pitiful magic engineer who hunts them by dragging them around on his wagon. And one day, in the attack of the mighty monsters they encountered, they were fiercely oxidized along with the turret. Ummm... that doesnt make any sense. Absolutely impossible to use for normal hunting. That''s why Jaeyoung licked his lips and muttered as he looked down at the busy crowd of magic engineers with sparkling eyes. As expected, all these turrets should be sold for siege weapons. Magic turrets that would be perfect if installed on the walls of cities and forts where safety and security were guaranteed. Jaeyoung grinned and began drawing future ns in his head, thinking that if he put in a lot of these things, he would be able to receivefort that would allow for invincible space defense. And Tan overhears Jae-Young talking to himself. He asked as he climbed on top of Jaeyoung''s head with a confused face. Master, are you trying to sell this turret? To the humans? Tan asked seriously, with a face wondering if what he heard was correct. In response to his question, Jaeyoung asked back as if it was natural. then? Do you just rot things that could be worth money just by looking at them? Arcadia, a fantasy world where swords and magic reign in the world of the Middle Ages. A bombardment system that can only be found in modern civilizations that suddenly popped up one day in Arcadia. This was no different from a truly revolutionary discovery that could overturn the entire game to a level close to ruin beyond a bnce copse. Until now, anything that was simr to this was the cannon used by pirates of the Caribbean. The way to make gunpowder is extremely difficult, and its firepower is too limitedpared to magic. Rather than mass-producing cannons using gunpowder, it is much more cost-effective to hire a magician with a level of 3 or higher. Therefore, it was the reality of the continent of Arcadia that weapon systems simr to artillery that overwhelm modern battlefields could not be developed even if they tried to develop. But... Now, 6,000 magic engineers have started busy mass-producing magic turrets under the leadership of Haimer. Even if the personnel are forcibly recruited from each city, learning the magic theory of the Canonphilia school he founded as an attribute and mass-producing parts to beponents of the magic turret as instructed, a new moment of upheaval is approaching. was clearly revealing. Through magical processing, it is possible to instantaneously project more powerful firepower than any other high-ranking mage with more precision and safety... What country is not crazy about this? To protect national security from foreign threats. Or to break down the strong walls of an enemy country that must be upied. A truly versatile weapon system capable of serving as both a sharp spear and a solid shield. Looking at the magic engineers of the Gael Federation, who are working tirelessly for the birth of firepower that will bring a new wind to the battlefield, Jaeyoung smiled so wickedly. Powerful firepower that no one can surpass is the best means of deterring war and the cornerstone for self-reliant national defense. Jae-young recites words that would be liked by anyone in North Korea who is more serious about missiles than anyone else. Tan, who had been watching him frowning at what he was imagining, soon turned around calmly and started running towards L with his eyes wide open. hey! You damn chicken! What are you going to do now! ah! Why are you fucking fucking me again, you fucking bat! They say that they make such ignorant things for humans and throw them away! If things like that spread in Arcadia, do you think you, me, and our kids will be able to walk around with our heads up! Tan was struggling to dye Arcadia into darkness. In order to achieve that grand goal, even after rising to the position of the absolute king of the devil, he was bending his pride as much as possible and serving as an imp in the form of an imp. It wouldn''t be strange even if the power of humans became ten times stronger in an instant. Seeing the situation in which the serious copse of the power bnce was concerned, Tan poured out his anger toward El, the culprit that caused all this. Did you know I would end up like this! Do you know that only you are troublesome? My head hurts right now, so Im going to die, so shut up and stay calm. L, who sensed that there would be something with the foreknowledge of causality. However, her head was also spinningplicatedly because she did not dare to predict that something would bring such an enormous disturbance. No matter how much, if something like this starts to spread in Arcadia...'' Jae-young and Haimer feel uneasy inside. And L watching the magic engineers of the Gael Federation move. From the beginning of the world to the present, she knew that countless human civilizations and histories that had appeared and disappeared were closely observed. Giving people who are united by infinite selfishness and greed a power that they cannot handle on their own is not a blessing, but a curse that leads to ruin. It''s dangerous...'' It was a zing bullet, saying that it was impossible to invade Arcadia right now, but El instinctively felt it. If this kind of thing spreads out in the world, it will eventually cause a lot of blood to flow on the continent and bring about a chaotic world full of death and destruction. And the result is that the power of the celestial world that pursues good will be greatly weakened, and the power of evil will lead to the worst ending, bringing about an era of darkness stronger than ever. It''s never going to be as much as that.....'' The airflow of the gigantic storm that El could see. Her face hardened as she watched the enormous causal aftermath that enveloped the entire unified continent of Arcadia. The ruler of the heavens and the glorious Aspect Michael. Although she was a transcendent being with greater power and authority than anyone else, she felt a strange sense of helplessness today after a long time. A huge causal flow that goes beyond what you can handle. In the midst of the mighty storm that raged towards all of Arcadia, which she did not even dare to control, a person came into her eyes. Really... it''s too dangerous...'' Adventurer Dex, who is from another dimension and has been granted the power of immortality by his father. For the first time, she felt a sense of crisis when she saw the fact that a huge narrative that could not be stopped even by gathering all the possibilities of the heavens was moving around a single person. Perhaps conquering Arcadia is not the existence of the heavens, the demons, the spirits, or the phantom world. A sense of crisis that might be those adventurers who suddenly came over from an unknown dimension far away and wandered freely in Arcadia one day. * * * Tan is frustrated with a despairing expression as if everything is wrong while L is in deep trouble alone. Even at the moment when they were doing all kinds of absurd things, Jaeyoung and Haimer were busy in an all-out war to prepare for the uing war. Now there are less than ten days left until the war. Let''s all work overtime to achieve self-defense of the Gael Federation and let''s burn our bodies. A temporary production nt that operates 24 hours a day. The 6,000 magic engineers who were concentrating on producing the Heimer special magic turret as the easiest model to mass-produce in view of the tight timeframe were groaning in a harsh working environment they had never experienced before. Couldnt you give me a break, even for a moment...? I can''t even open my eyes because I''m drawing too much magic circuit... A magic engineer who repeated theplex task of engraving an incrediblyplex magic circuit the size of a hair for 24 hours. Except for the time for basic human physiological activities, such as eating time, sleeping time, and going to the bathroom, they do not tolerate even a minute of rest, and are literally being ground under treatment worse than workers in the industrial revolution era. . However, even in such a situation, Jaeyoung smiled brightly and nodded his head happily. yes. Anything. You can just have someone else do the work you couldnt do. At Jaeyoung''s words, at that moment, the workshop stopped all at once as if time had stopped. And soon, thousands of pairs of pupils went back to the one person whoined about wanting to rest. Eagle Eagle. The eyes were full of bloodshot and tired, but the anger was evident in the eyes. It was not directly expressed in words, but the meaning could be clearly understood unless you were an idiot. Are you going to rest alone?'' Where is this bastard going to leave his work to someone else?'' Where are you from? As a master, I''m struggling here right now. How dare you?'' Even the masters of each school have be a rewarding worker and are rolling and grinding in this harsh industrial site without blood or tears. So, the magic engineer, who flinched at the life-filled eyes, smiled brightly and waved his hand at Jaeyoung, who told him to rest. Oh no! We can do more! is it so? Well, I won''t stop you, but if you want to take a break, tell me anytime. Jae-young, who knows everything but smiles so brightly as if he doesn''t know, and encourages him not to be burdened. While splendid with the fantastic whipping that had overworked all of Arcadia''s design team in the past, he did not forget to put a huge carrot in everyone''s mouths. ruler! The person with the most workload this time will be given a chance to receive 1:1 magic theory instruction from Haimer, the master of the Cannonphilia school! And as a bonus, up to 10 top-notch mana stones! Haimer absorbed a lot of dragon magic theory. And the highest quality mana stones that non-masters of each school would dare to touch. It was a golden opportunity that a magical engineer dreaming of wealth and honor could never miss, so at Jae-young''s words, they shouted with their souls burning even though they were tired. Aaaaaaa! The teaching of magic theory is mine! Fuck all of these! This is for the masters first! Magical Engineers started working with explosive momentum again. So at some point, they werepletely degenerated into pigs and dogs without even realizing it. As dogs and pigs who are happy with the food Jae-young gives them,pete with each other, and fight each other. Chapter 290 Chapter 290 New Job Appearance A member of a secret operation jointly conducted by the Cyber Command under the Japan Self-Defense Forces and the Cab Investigation Office of the Secret Intelligence Service. Unlike the past, this secret operation, which began with the purpose of amplifying the antipathy toward Korea, which had be very diluted, and reorganizing the mental armament as a subject of the Empire of Japan, which was Japan''s golden age when it once conquered all of East Asia, continued to grow with Korea as time passed. It was creating a tremendous conflict between the two countries. -Kill the JoXjing bastards! -Just like we took Takeshima by force, let''s take the damn city! - Proud subjects of His Majesty the Emperor! Let''s charge into Josenjing''s continent! The feelings of resentment poured into Arpendia. And this was not just a mere word, but it was spreading into actual action. The day hase to avenge the disgrace of the Ven incident from before. This time, our guild master has received a huge guild-level quest from the Shouen Empire. Everyone has heard how great this reward is, right? So that absolutely no one is excluded from participating in this cause. For the glory of His Majesty the Emperor! Denno Heika Banzai! Yes viewers. Huge crowds are now moving toward the Korean continental border. I am also following in this hot heat like now. The 214th ranked samurai this time! I have served Kokugen-sama. There were some who were really absorbed in far-right ideology and said they would retaliate against Korea, but they were very few. But other than that, when even thergest guilds in Japan, the popr Arpandia streamers, and top-ranked yers in their fingers began to participate, their power began to grow beyond imagination. Aono-sama, all guild members have gathered. ck Ox, thergest guild in continental Japan. Unlike other guilds, they are the most elite guild that boasts really strict membership conditions. He boasted of overwhelming power. Have all the 10 Heavenly Kings gathered? yes. They are all gathered and waiting for instructions. The Kuroshi Guild, where all of the top 10 rankings in the Japanese continent are members. The reason why he summoned all those who were known to be able to handle 100 normal users by himself was because of the proposal he received from the Shouen Empire and the Ferros Empire, the two best powers that dominate the Japanese continent. [Our continent intends topletely dominate the newly discovered new continent. To that end, we are currently preparing abined expeditionary force thatbines the elite forces of the two empires.] The high-ranking nobles of the Shoen Empire came and made a proposal. It was a quest with the main goal of wanting the Kuroshi Guild to participate in this war. [I hope adventurers will spearhead this war. His Majesty the Emperor judges that you, who possess the power of immortality, will be able to y a big role in helping our allied forces to conquer new continents.] An adventurer who does not die even after death and resurrects after a certain period of time . Simr quests were given to severalrge guilds in the Japanese continent, based on the judgment that they could y a role beyond simple arrow shafts, and as a result, dozens ofrge guilds, including Kuroshi, participated in one unprecedented level. A great power was formed. And... Aono, the master of the Kuroshi Guild, whomands all the adventurers. A unique title shone above his head, who had been bestowed with the title of nobility and the mighty authority to lead these adventurers directly from the Shoen Empire and the Faros Empire, revealing his presence. [Continent Conquest Allied 3rd Army Commander-in-Chief Aono] Aono has obtainedmand and management rights for all adventurers and guilds participating in this conquest. The order given to him was to upy the Gael Federation located at the beginning of the Korean continent in the shortest time. [At the border of the Shoen Empire, there is a country called the Gael Federation, a country of uncivilized people who don''t even have a king. It will take some time before our allied forces are firmly established, but from what we have learned, we have judged that you will be able to take over with your own strength. I hope for a good result.] Is it because the armies of the Shouen Empire and the Ferros Empire are not fully organized, or is it because they want to know the strength of the adventurers? Although he was not sure why, Aono confirmed the quest assigned to him and gathered all the users to the Gael Federation''s nearby border area. [The Vanguard of the Quest Battlefield] The allied forces of the Shouen Empire and the Peros Empire decided to conquer the unknown new continent, dreaming of unifying the continent. Capture Gael Federation''s border cities before their main force arrives at the border area, and confidently reveal and prove the adventurers'' hidden potential. -Sess condition: Capture 40% of the cities belonging to the Gael Federation. (0/40%) - Remaining time: 6 days 12 hours 19 minutes 02 seconds Base capture quest where you have to capture 40% of Gael Federation''s cities within the given time. Since they had already experienced what a siege was like while running a guild, Aono and other adventurers were fully prepared. Are all the wizards ready? yes! Everything is ready. A wizard unit called the flower of the battlefield. Among the vast user alliance, easily surpassing hundreds of thousands, the number of magicians was already close to tens of thousands, so the crude walls of the Gael Federation made of rocks seemed infinitely vulnerable to withstand the magic that they cast all at once. Which warrior sses will charge right after the wall is broken? I have confirmed that you are all ready! Under themand of the Kuroshi Guild, a united force of adventurerspletely reorganized ording to the given purpose, regardless of which guild member belonged to it. Third Commander Aono, who was in charge of them, opened his mouth as he looked at the hundreds of thousands of adventurers lined up in front of him. Our proud users of the continent of Japan. He said with a solemn face, as if he had be amander giving a final instruction to soldiers going to war. Everyone has different reasons for being here. There are people who are not shouting the glory and revenge of the Japanese Empire, or people who are aiming for huge rewards through quests, but if not that, there are people who just gathered to attract people''s attention and poprity through broadcasting, or just for curiosity and fun. Whatever it is, it''s just an incident that happens in the game. Most of the people who participated for interests such as fun and profit rather than because of an ideology or a sense of mission that really risked the fate of the country. However, even to them, Aono did his best to exin the purpose of this war and continue his speech to inspire passion in the people. I don''t care what the reason was. However, beyond personal gain and profit, this war we are starting this time will overturn this world, and we will be the protagonists of the newly opened world, and in the future, all users around the world will not dare to look into the eyes of Japanese users! We are the undisputed strongest yers in this virtual reality! Waaaaaa! Blood revenge on the savage bastards! Long live the Emperor! hurray! Long live! Cheers erupted at his words. Aono pointed to the fortress of the Gael Federation in the distance and shouted with all his might. All attack begins! Let''s eat all of that goddamn continent! * * * Arcadia Japan Branch. Something strange was going on inside thepany, which was responsible for the overall management and operation of everything that happened in the Japanese continent. I... Chief. Sasaki works as an assistant manager at the Japan branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. He asked in a cautious voice from the situation room to his gunner and superior, Chief Akita. Is this... can it really be like this? An unprecedented situation taking ce in the Japanese continent. The Shoen Empire and the Faros Empire divided the entire continent. I was watching in real time the entire series of processes in which these two giant empires joined forces to conquer the Korean continent, and the gathering of hundreds of thousands of adventurers in the process. However, unlike this unprecedented situation, the staff looking at all of this were so free and rxed. What do you know about me? It''s a special order given by the head of the branch directly, so don''t make any response or report about this situation. Didn''t you hear that he said that he would take stern action if he mentions rted matters to other branch offices? Branch manager Kazuki warned never to leak the situation on the Japanese continent to the outside world. In response to his special order not to provide information to other branches, including the Korean branch, which had be a direct target, the employees of the Arcadia Japan branch had to sit still without doing anything even in a hideous atmosphere that seemed like something would explode at any moment. But... if the real Korean continent suffers arge-scale invasion, wont we be held ountable? Strange movements that were openly detected for almost two months, unless it was an unexpected situation. Even though he knew about these things, Sasaki was constantly agitated by the anxiety that he would be a big problem if he stayed on the sidelines, but his boss, Section Manager Akita, didn''t seem to worry too much. Probably not. Don''t you know ourpany motto? Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. President Lee Mi-yeon, who has been consistently teasing the Japanese branch with endless tolerance and immunity for the situation in the game that changes ording to the results created by users. That''s why Manager Akita was sure that there would be no official issue about this incident. When the pirates upied the Shouen Empire, let alone when arge city was reduced to ashes overnight because of a dragon that suddenly appeared, they didn''t take any action. Perhaps the victimized Korean branch may have internal dissatisfaction, but we cannot officially hold our Japanese branch ountable. The Japanese branch, which had already been forced to suffer too much damage the other day. That''s why Manager Akita secretly enjoyed the situation taking ce in the game and sipped his coffee. But... Still, with a worried face, Sasaki was looking at the huge monitor that was rying the Japanese yers advancing in the game. Akita looked at him and narrowed his eyes. what? Why are you making that fucking face? Are you sure there will be no problem? Akita asks in a rather sharp voice if he doesn''t like a subordinate who doesn''t let go of his expression even after hearing his words. However, at his question, Sasaki shook his head as if that wasn''t the case. yes....? No, I''m not particrly worried about that... Why... I''m strangely anxious. Sasaki''s uneasiness seems to ovep with the appearance of Chief Akita, who had previously boasted that Poseia would never be captured. That time when I was looking at the users in the monitor with such a curious look. Suddenly, a huge roar hit the control room. [Quaang.] What is it? Suddenly, a sharp, huge roar pierced through the speakers. Startled by the sound that sounded like a bomb exploded, the employees showed different reactions and turned their heads to look at the monitor. A massive explosion involving at least dozens of people. However, as if the explosion was just beginning, one after another, it began to burst out among the army of Japanese users without a break. [Quaang Kwaang Kwaang Kwaang Kwaang.....] What the hell is this...! what! That! How are things going...? A huge explosion like you''ve never seen before. As he watched in real time the users who were falling like fallen leaves from an unknown attack, Akita opened his mouth like a man in a frenzy. rumble. It was an ugly scene where the coffee he couldn''t swallow dripped from his mouth and soaked his pants. However, Akita was unaware of that fact and just stared nkly at the image of a user appearing on the screen. [Tatatang. Tatatatatang.] Arcadia, the worldview of medieval fantasy. Among them, a person holding a gun in both hands, as seen only in modern times, and carrying out a massacre among Japanese users. A new weapon item, Mana Cannon, created by magical engineers of the Cannonphilia school. An exhratingbat ss that handles it freely and annihtes the enemy in front of it with overwhelming firepower. It was the moment when a new job, the Canon Shooter, appeared splendidly. Chapter 291 Chapter 291 Magic Bullet Shooter (1) Over 6,000 skilled magic engineers gathered from all cities in the Gael Federation. Since each of them felt proud and proud of the arcane knowledge and technical skills of their own school, the magic engineers who first encountered Hymer ignored him andughed at him. Heng, on the subject of a kid who hasnt even had blood on his head yet. Do you really know enough to wear the title of master? Looks like you can''t even imprint the magic circuit properly? Among those who have devoted their entire lives to research on magical engineering and spent a long time exploring the vast truth of magic, only a part of them have attained enlightenment and established their own theories. Haimer was too young to gain the recognition of magic engineers as such a master. However, they couldn''t help but be amazed at the phenomenal power of the artifact that Haimer created and the magical engineering theory that was incorporated into that enormous object. How on earth is this magic circuit diagram...? I can''t believe it..... This is a form I''ve never seen before. What the hell is going on? I dont know... All of the magic imprinted here is something Ive never seen before. At Haimer''s instruction, magic engineers began mass-producing parts to be theponents of the magic turret. However, although they were following the given magic circuit diagram, they could not understand any of the magic forms and circuits he created. By the way... the magic circuit works normally. But why the heck is the output rising so much? Why on earth...? A magic circuit imprinted on iron, amon metal. Normally, the mana conductivity was extremely bad, so the minimum mana output had to be shown, but strangely, the magical output that reacted along the magic circuit of Haimer was extremely powerful. Ah, thats because special forms that increase mana conductivity and output are added to this magic circuit here. It''s not as good as special metals like Mithril, but it will show you the level of efficiency and output of magic ore. Oh, and it also includes forms to enhance durability and prevent overload, so dont worry about stability. What? Heimer freely uses dozens of magic forms that show effects that magic engineers have never heard of, including strengthening forms that transform ordinary metals to the level of magic ore. At first, the magic engineers who gave a cynical and skeptical look at his figure, who seemed to have a lot of knowledge of higher level magic engineering as if he came from the future dozens... no, hundreds of years ahead, soon actively courted him in front of him. it started. Ho, can you exin the form in detail? that''s right. Rather than just copying, I think we can draw better if we understand. Magic engineers with greedy eyes shining with excited faces. It was clear that they wanted to extract a lot of magical engineering knowledge they didn''t know about, but they couldn''t achieve that. Do you know what kind of academy this is? Can''t you work quickly? Jae-young clings to Haimer and blocks the strange maniptions at the source. Merlin''s powerful magical power overwhelms everyone, so his threatening cry forced the magic engineers to go back to their seats and focus on the seemingly endless work. Anyway, if I leave my seat for a little while, Ill rush in like a deaf moon, and Ill be messing around to extract forms, so Won. All of them are like nerds, really. Magical engineers who try to seduce the seemingly foolish Haimer with all sorts of sweet words to take advantage of them. Unlike Jae-young, who grumbled and nced at them as if he didn''t like their behavior, Haimer said it was okay. How are you? It is the basic attitude and knowledge of a magic engineer to thirst for and explore knowledge one does not know. Asking for instruction from someone better than you, regardless of status, age or position. To Haimer, who considered that to be a virtue as a magic engineer, these questions from people were not so repulsive. Ugh. Life is boring if you live like that. Even if you treat them well, if they run out of sweet water, they will just throw them away mercilessly? The residents of the Gael Federation, who havee to their own ord in each city and are united with infinite selfishness. It was Jaeyoung who looked at them with distrust and gave sincere advice, but Haimer shrugged and said, What... it will probably take a long time for the honeydew to drain? There are thousands of rare magic books of Cervenian that have not yet been read. No matter how diligently he tried to spread the teachings of the magical theories written in those books, it seemed that it would take a whole dozen more years, so Haimer did not condescend to revealing a few of these trivial forms. On the contrary, he was bold enough to make the person receiving the teaching feel sorry for him. okay. That''s something you have to do on your own, but... Jae-young doesn''t want to tell you how to behave. Haimer licked his lips and took out something toward him who nodded. More than that, hyung... Ive been thinking of making something new this time, so could you take a look at it? hmm? What is this...? This is the theory I had in mind at first. It was an idea that came to me while trying to improve it somehow, but I thought it would be okay. Haimer''s magic turret that was devised by extracting mana from mana stones and projecting it towards the enemy. It was a theory that was eventually abandoned due to its heinous inefficiency, but during that short time, he brought it up again in apletely different way. Now that I think about it, I think the biggest problem was the size. Because we are not obsessed with scale, downsizing and limiting output to a reasonable level... I thought something useful woulde out somehow. A blueprint for a magic circuit full ofplicated forms that Jaeyoung can''t understand. However, Jaeyoung couldn''t keep his mouth shut when he saw the drawing of thepleted artifact among theplicated forms and drawings of the magic circuit diagram. This....? how is it? Haimer asked with bright eyes. A specially improved portable turret he drew. It had the appearance of it'' that can only be seen in modern civilization. * * * [Hand Cannon - Hero] A masterpiece created based on the theory conceived by the master of the Cannon Philia school. It was produced with all my heart, full of gratitude for my benefactor. Allponents are made of mithril with 100% purity to maximize mana output. However, its power was significantly reduced due to its lightness and small size. -Equipment limit: 140 -Durability: 2450/2450 -Attack power: 180~230 (depends on equipped mana stone grade) -Effective range: 580~720m -Attack speed increased by 90% -Mana efficiency increased by 73% -Special skills: attribute given. Ransas (y) Perhaps because it was a prototype made for the first time, Haimer''s masterpiece hand cannon was judged as a hero even though it was made with mithril. The name Cannon was given because of his determination to make a portable cannon, but Jaeyoung muttered with an absurd face as he looked at the two hand cannons in his hands. Where do you look at this, is it a hand cannon? Its just a revolver at all. Unlike the original design, the design waspletely changed due to Jaeyoung''s strong request. Haimer expressed his disapproval when he saw that the previous hand cannon had gone and turned into a revolver that western cowboys would carry. [Is this too small? There is no space to engrave all the magic circuits.] However, Jae-young stubbornly insists on changing the design. Because of that, Haimer nodded and said while putting on a puzzled face. [Ah, I get it. Then I''ll do my best.] Two prototypes were created that way. Although they are called hand cannons, Jaeyoung muttered with eyes that he was having so much fun looking around at the two weapons that looked like revolvers. Is that why the message that a new job was created then popped up? When Haimerpleted the magic turret. Several messages that came to mind with the birth of the Canonphilia School. Among them, there was obviously something rted to this. [A new job Cannon Shooter'' has been created.] At that time, Jaeyoung couldn''t understand what this meant. But now I knew. The emergence of a profession that uses firearms in a fantasy world... It must be really dizzy? An unintended result. Looking at this, he could imagine what kind of expression President Lee Mi-yeon would make, but he had no intention of overlooking the situation, so Jae-young looked down at the yers advancing from below with an evil smile. Can you lend me some strength? yes....? L asks back with an expression as if he didn''t hear well because he was immersed inplicated thoughts. Looking at her like that, Jaeyoung smiled and asked. Why are you so nk? Do you have any concerns? Not like you. L sometimes shows a childish elementary schooler-like appearance, but he always tries to show a perfect image. However, Jaeyoung jokingly asked at the appearance of a screw missing these days, but she just shook her head left and right. it''s nothing. Would you rather lend me your strength? huh. Was it Calypso...? as that friend. Jaeyoung doesn''t have a level. That''s why, except for basic costumes and items with no level restrictions, he had a great difficulty in wearing or using them, so he couldn''t learn magic or any job skills, but there were moments when he could temporarily ovee those limitations. [The Owner of 10,000 Weapons'' effect is activated.] [Item Hand Cannon is equipped.] Level restrictions and stat restrictions depending on all weapons. In addition to that, Calypso''s special skill allows him to ignore all of the difficult wearing conditions. When the passive, which allowed him to freely use all weapons in the world, was activated, Jaeyoung was able to activate the revolver in his hands as if it were originally. Woo woo woo. Two top-notch mana stones that look like revolvers but are embedded in the bullet reloading area. Feeling the intense wave of mana that seemed to explode at any moment from the mana stone, Jaeyoung leaped from the fortress of the Gael Federation with a very excited face. Oops... He waved his hand in the air as if he had forgotten for a moment and manipted something. And soon, Jaeyoung smiled brightly into the air and said. Nice to meet you Arpendia viewers. And why did you guys crawl in? You damn deck fan-mu, perverted bastards. Jaeyoung''s personal channel, which was opened under the name of Destroyer''s Daily Life. However, now he has turned on the streaming broadcast of the ount that has been shared with Choco Piejoa, Nayatongson, and recently signed Angelina and Casis and has be the official channel of Iplus Co., Ltd. Greeted with a double attitude. -Dex hyung!!!!!!! Are you turning on live streaming now? -ck color! ck color! ck color! -brother! I am now an Alvin Klein panties like my brother! I bought them all in ck! -Bro bro! Bro bro! ck color! ck color! -I''m watching Dex''s video well. I''m a real fan. A real-time chat window where normal viewers and deck fans were mixed. After erasing the chat window that he couldn''t read even if he tried to read it, Jaeyoung confirmed that what he was seeing was being sent to Arfandia in real time as a streaming video, and soon saw arge army of Japanese users advancing right in front of his eyes. looked up and said From now on, I''m going to reveal the new job, Cannon Shooter, to everyone for the first time. Users who have no choice but to know nothing about the new job. Imagining the situation in the chat window where such people were expressing their curiosity, Jaeyoung aimed the revolver he was holding in both hands at the Japanese users in front of him. p. Now, show time. Taang. The first live broadcast to be streamed in Dex''s true form. Viewers who witnessed the video in real time gave him a new name while watching the scene that day. An ouw in the wilderness holding two revolvers and killing thousands... tens of thousands of users. A new name, Magic Bullet Shooter. Chapter 292 Chapter 292 Magic Bullet Shooter (2) The southern part of the Korean continent. The Gael Federation, which is located on the outskirts and consists of a dwarf country and less than 30 small towns. Thanks to the abundant mana stone mines and the protection of the 5 Magic Towers and the Saint Empire, the nation itself was able to survive, but their capabilities and defense capabilities were infinitely weak. Cities in the form of primitive tribal units, without a well-organized army or system. The reality so far was that they were nothing more than ragtags, meaningless forces that could easily be captured with just one small kingdom. But now. They were resisting external enemies while achieving a historical grand unity that had never been achieved before. Centered around Master Haimer of the newly born Canonphilia school. Quaaang, Quaang, Quaaang. Perbium, the outer city of the Gael Federation. A new continent that has just emerged, and the city''s crude castle bordering directly on the border of the Shoen Empire. In a ce where normally only a few guards would normally have stood formally, there was something gigantic that was densely installed with thousands of people. Bring all the low and intermediate mana stones you have! Shoot! Pour it all out! Immediately fix any turrets that have problems! Check the mana circuit status and send it out right away! Cant you engrave mana stones quickly? Its a game where you have to take out all the spare bullets and use them! A special artifact of the Canonphilia School. Magic Turret. Due to the limitations of time and materials, its performance was different from the existing ones, and it showed specifications that were far behind. Fish woo woo woo. Hundreds of unstable mana stones flying far into the sky with a sharp sound. A huge and powerful explosion of destructive power began to explode around the mana stone, which was urately mmed into the Japanese continental adventurers at least 2km away. Kwaaang. Kwaaang. Puff puff puff puff. carpet bombing. A dizzying situation in which at least thousands of users are dyed gray and copsed in a single bombardment, and be incapable of fighting in a dying state. In such a situation, all Japanese users were in panic and panicked, but the shock received by Aono, who led them, was nothing to dare topare. What the hell is this! The situation that had just started a war and was advancing to break down that crude and flimsy-looking wall. However, the n went horribly wrong from the start. Ah, Aono-sama, the troops can''t get close at all! The range.... is so outrageously different. 2 km. Considering that the maximum range of general magic is about 300 to 500 m, the attack is almost 4 times as far away. In addition, the blow was so great that it hurt the bones to simply ignore the attack and charge ignorantly. The guilds in the front are beingpletely wiped out! There are reports from other guilds that they may have to retreat...! What are you talking about! If you retreat here, you won''t even get your money''s worth! Aono is shocked by that statement and shouts no. Users who have already started to advance and continue to advance despite the tremendous bombardment, taking damage. Even if they were ordered to retreat, there was no way that hundreds of thousands of people would be able to follow themand in perfect order. It is clear that those who advance and those who retreat will be mixed and be a quarrel. That''s why Aono shouted out loud. Even if it means annihtion, make sure to break down the wall at least! You can see the matchter! Users who are resurrected even if they die anyway. Of course, he had to endure the 24-hour ess restriction penalty following death, the consequent decrease in experience and skill proficiency, and the disadvantages of item drops, but Aono did not care. If we win this war, all damages will bepensated by our guild, so go ahead! Aono was promised huge profits and rewards from the two empires through this quest. That''s why he gritted his teeth and shouted an attack despite the unknown attacks pouring down from the sky without a break. attack! attack! Wipe out that damn city! While struggling to deny the fact that he was driving everyone to death. * * * Those who reached the city of Perivium despite being bombarded by magic turrets from behind. However, it was after 80% of the existing troops had already been fiercely oxidized due to the relentless bombardment. A loss close to annihtion. They crossed over the corpses ofrades and eventually reached the target, but they had to face another huge mountain. Tata Tang. Ta-ta-tata-tata-tang. The battlefield resounded with a loud sound, as if beans were being roasted by lightning. In the battle taking ce right in front of Perbium, the city they were supposed to upy, there was only one person the Japanese yers had to deal with. The biggest feature of the cannon shooter is the rate of fire based on its fast attack speed. If you''ve yed FPS, you''ll be able to adapt quickly, but maybe it''s because there''s a critical spot like a head shot, so if you aim for a vital spot and attack, you can explode an enormous amount of damage in a short period of time. Taang. Jae-Young, who took down a user from hundreds of steps with just one step, dyeing it gray. Then he quickly turned his body around and began to fire his two revolvers as if possessed. Tata-ta-tata-tata-tang. Bullets of magic that flew in all directions as he rotated. And the bullets did not miss a single shot, as if they had promised, and all of them were lodged in the middle of the forehead of the Japanese users. Full bloom. A monstrous uracy that will leave the viewer''s mouth wide open. And what was even more astonishing than that was the fact that dozens of users who copsed and turned gray in a short period of time, less than 10 seconds, were easily passed over. I still need to do more research, but basically it seems to be a specialized ss in PvP. I think I can y an active role as a damage dealer even in monster hunting, but I need to check the efficiency in actualbat. Oh, and basically, unlike archers, intelligence is also important to take magic damage as much as agility. Woo woo woo. A revolver that stopped working after firing thousands of magic bullets, turning gray as if the stored mana had been exhausted. Jaeyoung lightly flings the revolver in his hands into the air, takes out two of the highest-quality mana stones sparkling in blue light from his arms, and uses his mboyant hand movements to move the mana stones stuck in the revolvers falling to the floor to a level close to a feat. shown and reced. Whirly Rick. p. Regardless of the level of the mana stone, the maximum number of shots seems to be between 5,000 and 10,000. Instead, it seems that the additional damage of the magic bullet and the additional critical damage are different, so please refer to this part. Tata Tata Tata. Dex is constantly talking to himself and constantly firing his revolver to ughter nearby users. Seeing him like that, Japanese users were greatly shocked. Chick show...! What the hell is that! revolver....? No, what kind of gun is that in Arcadia! What the hell is that high attack speed! No, the hit rate is more fraudulent than that! One shot, one shot. Instant kill. Jae-young, who shows deceptivebat ability to hit all targets with only body vision and situational judgment without any systemic correction. However, users who did not know the situation were astonished and shocked to see him like that. Hidden ss...? What is that! It''spletely out of bnce! Jae-young shows superiorbat skills in terms of range, attack power, and attack speed that no ss dares to pursue. The Japanese users were making faces tired of the cannon shooter''s appearance, which did not seem to be a weakness at all, but soon someone among them shouted in anger. Everyone, dont be scared! No matter how much the gun is said to be an open fire, that bastard is only one! If we rush to attack at once, he can''t help it either. A gun that is more powerful than any other weapon. However, no matter how overwhelming it was in all aspects, it was practically impossible to defeat the thousands of swords flocking from all sides. And the eyes of those who realized that fact began to change little by little. Thats right! No matter how fast the attack speed is... it can''t deal with all of us! At least tens of thousands of troops remain. So, in the eyes of those who were looking at despair, the mes of intense anger began to bloom along with hope that they could not know. You bastard! The enemy of the Japanese continent! die! All charge! Let''s push it in one shot! Hex projectile charge. The ignorant charge of those who did not care about dying was so enormous and spirited that it made the victim shrink, but Jae-young''s face while dealing with these people was so calm. In my opinion, the biggest downside of Cannon Shooters is that they are vulnerable to meleebat. With its long range and fast attack speed, it deals a lot of damage to the enemy by continuously dealing damage, and the damage of each attack is not that strong. A ranged ss that must keep the distance from the enemy as much as possible under normal circumstances and continue fighting from a distance. It was clear that a fighting style like a wizard or an archer would be suitable, but Jaeyoung continued with a smirk. However, we can''t help but consider the situation where closebat is bound to happen, right? It''s not always possible to fight in an optimal situation. So, Jaeyoung fixed the two revolvers and looked at the Japanese yers surrounding him with quite serious faces. Aww! die! Feet too! Crying sword! Demonic Attack! Last Punishment! A feast of swords and attack skills that are full of all kinds of sword skills. But at that moment, Jaeyoung''s body started to move quickly. bang. bang. bang. bang. bang. bang. Dodging and blocking the swords flying from all sides, hitting the opponent''s head with a revolver at the same time, feeding bullets, and attacking and defending at the same time. A fighting style that shows maximum efficiency with minimal movement. Unlike Jae-young, who dodges or blocks the enemy''s attacks and strikes the opponent with a revolver while disying mboyant movements at the same time, the moths are knocked down by magic bullets that fly right in front of their noses that cannot be avoided or reacted. Contrary to expectations, Japanese users started to panic when they saw their colleagues who started to fall down quickly, but Jaeyoung''s attacks continued uninterrupted. As you can see, in closebat, the magic bullet''s uracy increases to almost 100%. If I''m not confident in aiming because I''m sick of FPS or because my hands are shaking, I think it wouldn''t be bad to invest in strength, stamina, and agility to develop into a meleebat type. In the way I am showing you now. Jae-young began to knock down all the Japanese users who were surrounded in all directions by pouring out all sorts of misceneous meleebat skills and evasive skills like crazy. And at the same time, he activated a special skill built into his hand cannon. Scattering. A special skill and wide-area skill that consumes all the mana stored in the loaded mana stone at once and annihtes all nearby enemies. Rampage (y). When this skill was activated, Jaeyoung''s body moved naturally without even realizing it, pouring out an enormous amount of magic bullets in the area. Tata Tang. Tata Tata Tata Tang. Tata Tata Tang. He looks like he''s dancing like he''s possessed. It was a moment that was no different from the scene of a one-sided massacre, but even the Japanese users who were watching the scene were fascinated by the canon shooter''sbat method that Jaeyoung showed. Fucking... isnt it cool...? A Japanese user copses with a hazy expression even at the moment of death. Jaeyoung, who finally confirmed that the allied army of adventurers from the Japanese continent was wiped out, smiled brightly and muttered to himself. How is it? It looks really fun, doesnt it? Chapter 293 Chapter 293 I want to do that too A huge tform used by billions of people around the world. Arpandia. This site was first created to serve as the official homepage of Arcadia, the first virtual reality game of mankind, but it has developed into aprehensivemunity site that serves various roles beyond simple announcements, securing an enormous number of subscribers from all over the world. Video streaming service with overwhelming traffic and usermunity service. In Arpendia, where these two became the main force, it was Jaeyoung''s channel that took the top throne that no one could surpass. Destroyer''s routine. A notorious channel that destroyed the families of Arcadia Korea branch executives and staff and destroyed the love front. However, while Jae-young recruited Choco Pie Joa, he handed over the authority to Seo-wook Jo, CEO of Iplus Co., Ltd. [I will hand over the authority for channel management and operation in the future. I''ll introduce you to a few more people besides Choco Paijoa.] Starting with Choco Paijoa, Angelina, Casis, and Nayatongson signed a contract with Iplus Co., Ltd., and Jaeyoung yed their games through a huge channel with billions of subscribers. It also made it possible for many viewers to see it. [From now on, use Choco Piejoa and other people instead of me to shoot a lot of broadcasts and upload a lot of videos. I know you''re working hard to give them a down payment this time.] CEO Jo Seo-wook stabbed each of them with a huge amount of money in their pockets in the name of an advance down payment, including the 3 billion won they gave to Choco Pie Joa. He asked, frightened at the unexpectedly huge reward. [omg! Can I really do that?] Jaeyoung''s channel, where you can expect huge views and ad sales just by uploading a simple hunting video. However, the frequency was so low that one video was uploaded almost every month, so Seo-wook Cho was frustrated with Jae-young for neglecting such a huge channel. [yes. That''s why I also do streaming broadcasts on this channel from time to time.] Streaming broadcasts that only one person, the original owner of the channel, can open. That''s why in the past, when I was active as Choco Piejoa, it was impossible to turn on the broadcast with Dex''s true form. However, once it bes an official channel of iPlus Co., Ltd., which is officially registered as an MCN operator, any user designated by thepany can conduct streaming broadcasts. That is why, for the first time, Jaeyoung turned on the streaming broadcast without wearing the mask of deception. And that broadcast was immediately captured by the numerous users who resided in Arpendia every day. - Destroyer broadcast is up! -They often turn on the broadcast there. Who are you this time? -It must be the sloppy Choco Pie Joa or the power mage crazy bitch. Choco Pie Joa is rolling harshly with the determination to extract the down payment. Most of the videos streamed on the Destroyer''s daily life channel were Choco Paijoa or Angelina, so the user reaction was less than expected. - Hey, but isnt Choco Pie no fun these days? -Really;; More than I thought, broadcasting these days is so boring. There is nothing novel. -hit. I don''t know if I''ve lost my senses, but that''s just it. -It must be because the cycle of uploading videos has been shortened. You really didn''t post much before. -Yeah..... That''s true, but I still miss that crazy sensibility back then. The concept of the video is a bit different from the previous ones. At first, everyone was puzzled when they saw him doing a broadcast that was no different from the ordinary BJs that are widely avable in Arfandia, and they cursed and strongly protested that he had lost his original intention, but now it seemed like he was getting used to it. However, people who are honest about missing the old look. And they were soon able to face the writings that engulfed the entire bulletin board. -crazy! Dex is out!!!!!! - Urgent Breaking News. Destroyer Everyday Dex Streaming!!! - No deck fan! Assemble! As the president of the ck panties fan club, I order an emergency call! -Swordsilvercolor!!!!!!! The first dragon yer that will never exist again in Arcadia, and the world''s strongest yer in name and reality. And the true ruler of those who have gone mad in ck panties. Dex. As soon as the fact that he turned on the broadcast began to spread through themunity, huge traffic began to flow to the Destroyer''s daily life channel, and in less than 10 minutes, he became the main character of Arfandia. [New job review canon shooter with Dex.] With a title that boasts a powerful aggro that can never stand clicks. * * * Korea branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, and Kang Tae-hoon, manager of the crisis management and response team, dered a state of emergency in response to a bomb that suddenly flew in, and started to grasp the situation. what! What war has suddenly broken out? We are trying to make a phone call to the Japanese branch to find out about it, but no one is answering. Hundreds of thousands of users belonging to the Japanese continent are gathering and attacking the Gael Federation, which is the territory of the Korean continent. It was an issue that could never be known even if one wanted to know, but it was a truly tingling situation for the employees of the Korean branch, who were not provided with any words or information from the Japanese branch. You are intentionally not answering the phone. Realistically, it is impossible for all employees to not answer the phone. That''s why Kwon Myung-han was able to grasp what was happening right now. These goddamn Japanese bastards.... really messed around to feed us? I don''t know if the Japan branch, the operator in charge of the Japanese continent, was directly involved, but the situation intentionally concealed rted information. That''s why Executive Director Kwon Myung-han growled with a stern face. Try to connect to Branch Manager Kazuki! If you get it from there, call me right away! I see! Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon gives an order to the employee who is holding the phone and hurriedly moves to the office. His face began to mix with anger, bewilderment, andplexity. Why...?'' Judging by the situation, the Japanese continent hasunched an attack on the Korean continent. However, Alice, the artificial intelligence system, did not provide any guidance. She was imminent about a critical event affecting the entire continent, but she warned in advance before the situation exploded. However, there was no guidance given about what was happening in the game right now. Ellis. As soon as he enters the office and sits down, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon looks at the monitor and calls Ellis. In response to his question, what appeared on the monitor was her avatar in the image of a beautiful female secretary. [Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, Level 2 of Management Authority. Confirmed. What can I help you with?] What happened to the current situation where Japanese users are attacking South Korea? Alice contemtes and analyzes everything that happens in Arcadia. She, who can provide the most urate information about this situation, immediately disyed numerous data on the monitor and provided detailed information in response to Executive Director Kwon Myung-han''s question. [The two great empires of the Japanese continent have agreed to work together to upy the other continent. As a result, users andrge guilds ying in the Japanese continent were given rted quests, resulting in users gathering and attacking the Korean continent.] An alliance signed between the Shoen Empire and the Ferros Empire . And the resulting war preparations and rted quests are granted. Looking at her kindly giving detailed information about thisrge-scale invasion, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han asked with a more confused expression. If this information was essible, why didnt you report it to me in advance? You didn''t say anything in the regr report this morning. Myung-Han Kwon, executive director who receives exclusive reports from Ellis on unusual matters and major issues on a regr basis. When asked why she had been silent about information that could be verified even with her administrative authority, she replied with a grin. [Sorry, but this information was not essible to the manager until this morning.] What...? Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon asked back with a puzzled expression at Alice''s answer. To him, Alice continued to exin by disying some additional information on the screen. [This is information that has been set to the highest level for viewing restrictions in view of the seriousness of the matter. Since the war started exactly 1 hour 28 minutes 29 seconds ago and there is no need for further secrecy, it has now been downgraded to level 2, so it is possible to provide rted information to the manager.] information that was not avable. Feeling something unknown and creepy at the word that it was designated as the highest grade, Executive Director Myeong-Han Kwon asked with an anxious face, just in case. What on earth was the rating so high for...? Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han came to ask why security was so thorough. To him, Alice showed up a video and said. [It seems to be the best exnation, so I rmend you to see it for yourself.] This is...? A video streaming from the inte window opened by Elise. It was the broadcast that Jaeyoung was doing in real time. [Cannon shooter''s advantage is rapid fire.....] [It seems to be the most specialized ss in PvP and also.....] [Damage depends on the level of the mana stone...] Smiling brightly and kindly He continues to exin and ughter all the users around him. It was a shocking fact that only one person was overwhelming hundreds... thousands of users, but what made the senior manager even more startled was the object he was holding. What is that! Second gun...? It looks like something that modern people would call a revolver as soon as they see it. The executive director''s face was frozen with astonishment and shock at the fact that he had a modern weapon in his hand that should not have been in the absolute medieval fantasy world of Arcadia. [It''s not a gun, it''s a hand cannon, manager.] Alice kindly points out that it''s a hand cannon, not a gun. In response to her words, Executive Director Myung-han Kwon had many things he really wanted to ask and argue about, but he opened his mouth as he watched the real-time chatting so much that he couldn''t dare to keep up with his eyes. - What is this...? - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha The sunset is setting. -It''s a gun! gun! Isn''t it the world''s strongest ending weapon? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha -If you have that, you can''t move. -ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! -Wow..... But it sucks. - A wilderness ouw wandering through medieval fantasy with two revolvers? I can never stand this. -Where are you? No, how the hell did the new job called canon shootere about? - What is this! brother! Don''t keep fighting, please look at the chat and exin! -How do you change jobs? Anyone who knows, please exin. The chat window is close to a fight with users who are screaming because they don''t know what the situation is. And Kwon Myung-han, the general manager of the Korean continent, who knew nothing about it, just like them, turned pale and white when he saw the item showing people watching in real time. [Number of real-time viewers: 729,122,989 people.] A broadcast that 10% of all mankind is watching at the same time. That''s why he was able to instinctively imagine what was going to happen sooner orter down there. Phones that will ring like crazy without stopping even for a second. Since he had already tasted the extreme hardcore spiciness and hotness of the people who called the security office and the resting room where the cleaning workers rested during the first martial artspetition the other day, he already felt like his back was being pulled. . And then. A very witty voice came to his ears. [how is it? It looks really fun, doesn''t it?] Chapter 294 Chapter 294 A new theme A surprise all-out offensive begins with arge gathering of Japanese adventurers. Contrary to expectations, their first attack, which began to conquer the Gael Federation, failed miserably. - What the hell is that! Such a ridiculous attack! -Siege weapon...? No, I''ve never heard of anything like this! -To wipe out hundreds of thousands ofrge-scale troops like this! does this make sense? Perbium, a city on the outskirts that boasts the size of a small town. Attacks pouring like crazy in this decent city where there is only one weak wall that has been neglected for a long time and is just close to decoration. A sight that oxidizes thousands of users at once, causing an enormous explosion that makes you dizzy just by looking at it from a distance. Everyone who watched it on video was astonished. -That one, can''t it... Cannons...? -What is that firepower? -That''s just carpet bombing. -Look at all of them being swept away in one bomb. A tremendous firepower war reminiscent of modern warfare. A situation in which the adventurers of the Japanese continent are wiped out with a one-sided and selfish deal based on an overwhelming range and powerful destructive power. Watching it, numerous users poured out all kinds of predictions and spections, but they were able to confirm the identity of the attack through Dex''s streaming broadcast. [There are various magical engineering schools in the Gael Federation. As those in the know know, this ce is full of strange things called artifacts. Wouldn''t it feel like you were inspired by a steampunk worldview? Anyway, there are many things you can''t easily find in Arcadia, a fantasy world.] Dex kindly exins the world view of the Gael Federation for overseas users who are not familiar with the setting inside the Korean continent. At the same time, he said while touching the huge gun barrel that proudly rose toward the sky, boasting arge and powerful figure behind him. [This is an artifact magic turret developed by the newly created school of magic engineering, Canon philia. It is a very powerful new concept siege weapon that can instantly annihte enemies with powerful firepower using mana stones.] Magic Turret. A masterpiece created by Haimer and the forcibly conscripted magic engineers grinding and grinding every day. And when it was revealed through Dex''s broadcast, the chat window turned upside down at once. -??? -Isn''t that just a wild gun?? -X feet hahahaha The worldview copses really hahahahaha - Look at the level of this damn X Manggeuk hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha) -Mabungies bloody tears jam hahahahaha. - Did you guys really decide to throw out a bnce X window? That was way too far over the line. It was only named a magic turret, but it is an artifact that looks like it will be forcibly renamed as a striker cannon. Because they saw such a fraudulent performance with their own two eyes, they began to reveal their greed soon after cursing the gamepany that put such crazy things into the game. -But honestly, I covet that..... -So? I think it must be there unconditionally when guilds battle each otherter. -It is said that mana stones fly away, but it seems to be cheaper than using magicians. -Where did you get that? Do you sell masks in the Gael Federation? Called the Flower of Firepower, an aristocratic ss mage who is most respected and treated more than anyone else inrge-scale battles. However, the magic turret with its huge and powerful gun barrel showed strong enough firepower to rece the role of these wizards. That''s why the master who runs the guild and some executives are interested. In the meantime, people with their eyes wide open began to appear. -fire power! Gorgeous!!!! -From the 23rd Artillery Brigade! Long live the artillery! Long live firepower! Long live the cannon! -The god of the battlefield is artillery! Will there finally be artillery in Arcadia...! -fire power! pho! fire power! pho! That is a man''s romance! Those who are more serious about firepower than anyone else. The firepower geeks most suited to the beliefs pursued by the School of Haimer. Through the chat window, they started talking about things that only they knew. -Hmm..... Roughly, it looks like a primitive field artillery. It seems that it is inferior in mobility and can only be used for defense, but once it is equipped with wheels and improved in terms of structural design... - It seems that the basic concept of firefighting iscking even in battlefield tactics. First of all, when pouring firepower , it is not concentrated bombardment in that way, but dispersed to maximize the damage range of the bombardment... It''s not something to do, just like the XDC-321 model that was put into full force in Germany this time ..... - ? ? Anyway, I can''t grasp the mood of the Milduck bastards. There was some confusion, but in many ways, Haimer''s magic turret seeded in attracting people''s enormous attention. As he released it through video, he was calling people. [Would you like to see, use, build and improve this turret yourself?] Pressing the seizure switch of all the firepower geeks and nerds around the world. And he pressed again. [Would you like to have a shy battle like I did with two revolvers?] Even the seizure switch of cowboys and Yang-deoks who have a strange romance with revolvers. [Then...e here to the Gael Federation.] That''s how he was calling everyone. [You can make your dreamse true here.] To the Gael Federation, located on the southern edge of the Korean continent. Thus, a strange grand integration began to take ce in the medieval fantasy world of Arcadia. A modern state-of-the-art weapon system called artillery. Strategic tactics of modern warfare that had never been heard of before, such as dialogue warfare and the Lanchester Law. It was the moment he appeared here in Arcadia. * * * Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Sitting in her office, she was engrossed in discussing the situation with Alice. So... Elise, you mean you''ve decided to admit the current situation? [That''s right.] The situation in the Gael Federation, where the bnce is literally on the verge of copse. That''s why President Lee Mi-yeon said with a strange expression as if she was a little surprised. Wasnt it decided to strictly limit the development of modern science and technology in the past? Arcadia, a virtual reality where anything can be realized with infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. But even in this world, there were things that were absolutely taboo. Transntation of modern scientific civilization. Users going in and out of a fantasy civilization where swords and magic exist. Alice thoroughly blocked the actions of the users in a situation where they handed over the knowledge of this scientific civilization to the NPC, the resident of Arcadia, no matter how trivial it was. [hmm? What did we just talk about?] [Uh..... Who are you?] In the same way as obstructing NPCs'' perceptions or removing their memories, modern science and technology or the fact that this world is a game cannot be recognized by them. she was limited. Strangely, however, Ellis did not intervene in any of the processes in which modern cannons were so openly revealed. [Even if I tried to limit it, there was no reason to do so. Artifacts currently created by the Gael Federation... In the case of the so-called magic turrets'', they are strictly based on the settings that exist in magic.] What...? [Please check the attached material for details.] Magic and mana that exist in Arcadia. Looking at the settings and rules written on hundreds of pages about this imaginary ability and energy source that does not exist in reality and onlyes from imagination, she said with a tired expression. So... that''s a situation where that thing is thoroughly implemented under the settings of magic and mana? [Yes.] An embarrassing situation where there is no good reason to limit it even if you try to limit it. So CEO Lee Mi-yeon thought about it for a long time, and then shook her head as if this wasn''t the case. No, but isnt this too harsh? That cannon shooter or whatever job boasts too deceptive performance. Dex, who held a gun in both hands and disyed phenomenalbat power, wiping out thousands of enemies alone. Overwhelming range and tremendous burst ability, plus outstanding damage. That video, which shows the true nature of the scammer, has already enraged the nearby users so much that it reminds them of a riot. -You damn gamepanies! What are the melee users saying! -Did I pick up a knife to do this? I feel embarrassed! -They told me not to be a wizard, but to carry a knife, so you guys all had a ulterior motive! these bastards! - Come out boss! Call the boss right away!!!!! Truly, users whoe to thepany building and y all kinds of games. Even in this imminent situation where thepany could be taken over by an angry mob, Ellis spoke so calmly. [There seems to be no problem in terms of bnce. Regarding the issue, additional review is required after coordinating with the top developer, but it is analyzed that the actual y will be significantly different from the battle video released this time.] Really...? Jack, the creator of Arcadia and the chief developer who manages everything in the end. When he said that he tolerated all of this situation, President Lee Mi-yeon tilted her head with a face of surprise. And soon, he began to take a close look at the shorings of the job of being a canon shooter. Um..... The overall maintenance cost of the character due to mana stones is high andpared to other jobs, the overall growth limit is low and the growth rate is slow because there are many abilities to invest... A job that looks powerful, but actually has a difficulty level that is close to atrocious. That''s why Ellis emphasized again as if not to worry. [Such strongbat power is only a unique case of the user, and it is analyzed that overall general users'' expectedbat power is infinitely low.] Even if there is no bnce problem, other problems will arise... President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a worried expression, imagining the users who would lie down again while raising their arms. To her, Ellis began to exin the additional benefits of this situation. [Still, as a result of this situation, it seems that some backlogs and problems with mass-produced wizard users can be resolved.] Wizard users mass-produced with an overwhelming preference for magic. However, due to the extremely limited quantity of upper magic books, most of them have beenpletely blocked from growing except for a few. Therefore, this canon shooter was highly likely to be a good substitute for wizard users. So, let''s induce the majority of users who can''t get the magic book to change to that job called canon shooter, right? [That''s right. Therefore, we n to apply additional adjustments in the direction of giving additional bonuses ording to intelligence stats for the job.] It is impossible to get rid of a job that has already been created. So, in response to Alice''s n to drive it in a direction that is profitable in terms of bnce as much as possible, President Lee Mi-yeon nodded as if it was not bad and said. good. If that''s the reason, I''ll be able to exin it to the staff who are in trouble under me. Employees who couldn''t even grasp the situation and were silent without saying anything to the frenzied users. President Lee Mi-yeon was relieved to think that she could give them an exnation to put out the urgent fire, but Alice threw something else huge to her. [In addition, the final theme of the main scenario has been confirmed. Please check the rted information.] Um...? What is that... A chaotic world that was expected to be the first main scenario for continental unification. However, in a huge variable that made no sense, the scenario waspletely discarded and reced with apletely new one. [Continent Integration Main Scenario Act. 1] [The Era of Arcane machinery] Magical engineering (Hex Tech) that has developed silently while being treated as a non-mainstream amid ridicule and ridicule for being pseudo-magic by real wizards. However, at this moment, they were strongly exuding their presence across the entire continent. Overturning the paradigm of the existing magic system. Opening up a new era of magic science. Chapter 295 Chapter 295 Distorted Peace (1) A kind of supernatural ability and study that allows mana to be stored and used to achieve miracles. Magic. Its powerful and mysterious power fascinated many people, but it was impossible for everyone to be a wizard. A body capable of recognizing mana and naturally absorbing it into the body and umting it. The power of dominance to understand thews and cycles of nature and the universe, and to freely move mana. A monstrous intelligence capable of performing meticulous andplex forms and calctions in an instant. Only those who belonged to the category of geniuses who possessed all the talents without missing one could learn magic, and the ruling system of these elite groups was as hard and firm as a huge fortress. [Those who have the talent to be wizards are entitled to enter the magic academy of each city, even if they have the status of ves or serfs. Also, you can acquire the rights of a freedman through a certain period of service.] [Wizards follow thews and rules established by the Mage Tower, except for specific situations. No country can restrict or suppress the freedom of wizards.] [All wizards are given divine rights and duties as Noblesses blessed with mana. No one can deprive or give up those rights and duties.] A world where you get tremendous rights and privileges just because you are a wizard, regardless of your social status. That''s why the NPCs who are residents of Arcadia hoped and dreamed of bing wizards, but most of them were frustrated because they couldn''t ovee the huge magical entry barrier. [Ehh..... It''s a pity, I''m sorry. With your understanding and insight, it seems that you will be able to be a high-ranking wizard someday, but your body, which cannot easily ept mana, is holding you back.] [Hey, you damn student . With such an enormous mana affinity, why the hell is the head so stupid? How many days does it take to memorize one circle form?] For various reasons, those who have not achieved their dream of bing a wizard. They didn''t have genius talent in all areas, but that''s why they came up with a new idea amidst the intense regret. [Then, shouldn''t it be possible to use magic even for non-magicians?] Magical engineering was born that way. Since it was a study derived from stragglers with imperfect talents, this idea of researching how to implement magic using an artificial material called mana stone had to be ridiculed and despised by real magicians. [Do you want to use magic because people without talent do that?] [It''s pitiful. The things that can''t even make a circle in the heart are magic? With trivial things like that?] [You can''t be a person who explores and realizes the true truth with such residual skills.] Magic engineers who have always been treated as non-mainstream and have been evaluated and treated as much as magic assistants who use pseudo-magic that give mana stones. field. However, this huge storm of change that was now blowing in the Gael Federation was overturning the game of magic science in apletely different way than before. Kwaaang kwaang. puffer puffer. The allied forces of the Shoen Empire and the Peros Empire copsed in gray from the ceaseless rain of mana stone shells and a huge storm of magic exploding with tremendous roar and destructive power. Their n to devour the Korean continent, including the Gael Federation, at once, even with arge army of 3 million, began to go awry from the start. What the hell is that weapon! Duke Daiven, themander-in-chief in charge ofmanding thebined forces of the Shen Empire and the Ferros Empire, and the highestmander in this battle. He shouted with a face in astonishment at the tremendous destructive power and hundreds of thousands of cannonballs raining non-stop from the walls of the Gael Federation far away. It seems that the Gael Federations new weapon that some adventurers have been talking about is that! A call from an unknown staff member. With a powerful roar here and there, huge piles of dirt exploded and shockwaves rushed in, making it impossible to wake up in a tense situation. Watching the scene, he surveyed the situation on the battlefield with disbelief eyes and groaned. The vanguard troops werepletely wiped out, so that was true...? Duke Daiven had nned to take over the Gael Federation first by putting hundreds of thousands of adventurers at the forefront. However, contrary to his expectations, they failed to upy any area of the Gael Federation. A level of defeat that is truly unprecedented in history. When he first heard the report, he couldn''t believe it at all, but now he could understand it as he watched thebined forces of the two empires fall like leaves in the autumn wind. Overwhelming range and tremendous destructive power reminiscent of astonishment. I don''t know how the hell heunched such an attack, but he had no choice but to drive a huge army to dog death before the war started properly by making an unreasonable rush in this situation, so he ordered it. All retreat. Lets reorganize the battle lines andunch another attack. All right. All troops retreat! All troops retreat! When the Duke of Daven''s order was issued, the sound of the trumpet, which meant retreat, reverberated here and there, and the troops hurriedly retreated. Even in the chaotic battlefield, the allied forces retreated in perfect order, but the feast of mana stone shells pouring into them did not stop easily. Shoot them all! Pour it all out! These... don''t know the fear of our Canon Philia School, where dare you crawl in! fire power! fire power! Ha ha ha ha ha! Magic! turrets! universe! defense! Magic engineers frantically firing mana stone shells at the allied forces advancing from several kilometers away. Unlike the first battle, when he was terrified and running around with a face full of fear and tension to survive, repairing and operating the turret, Jae-young felt a strange madness in their shouts now. Master... howe these bastards dont seem to be enjoying this? I know....? An overwhelming battle that wouldn''t be strange even if it was a one-sided massacre. However, unlike normal wars, the faces of those who operated magic turrets from a distance of several kilometers where the enemies could not be seen properly began to feel slightly different feelings than the horrors or guilt of these wars. Magical engineers who have been neglected and ignored for decades and hundreds of years. For those who suffered from the innumerable invasions of foreign powers, pride and pride in their own victories came first, rather than pity and sympathy for the enemies who fell mercilessly far away. Long live the Canonphilia school! Master Heimer! hurray! Long live the magic turret! Gael Federation! Live forever! Truly, the perfect realization of self-reliant national defense. Through this battle, which unfilteredly proved the effectiveness of space defense based on magic turrets, they clearly showed the strategic value of magic engineering technology and the tremendous efficiency and tactical ability of magic bombardment to all countries and adventurers on the entire continent of Arcadia. gave. The fact that victory in the future war will be determined by the presence or absence of magic turrets. Thank you so much brother. Heimer, who hade to his side before he knew it, was smiling indescribably. Jaeyoung smiled and asked at his expression, which seemed to be a little lighter than before. what? It''s just... everything. He saved my life, believed in my theory, and protected the Gael Federation... It wasn''t a very long time, but Haimer seemed to have received so much help throughout his life that he couldn''t repay it. He mumbled in a small voice like an ant crawling, not knowing what to say, mumbling and speechless. If you are grateful, the Gael Federation will be well managed in the future. I mean, don''t divide and fight with each other like before, and live while mutually helping each other. Like that, each city divides factions, fights and politicizes, and then ruins the country again? My me? Haimer asked Jaeyoung''s words back with a surprised face. Jaeyoung asked him as if he didn''t know. Isnt it obvious? You are now a master of a school. We should build and expand our own forces so that the name of Canon Philia is not ashamed. Each school represents each city, and the Gael Federation is divided into dozens. However, having no intention of leaving it as it is, he gave a mission to the bewildered Hymer. Seize the entire Gael Federation as soon as possible. You can use the knowledge from Kervenian''s spell book, or if things don''t work out, you can coax them with magic materials like mana stones and mithril, so be smart and put all those people under the name of the Canonphilia School. That''s like that... An enormous task to take over the entire Gael Federation. Haimer was sweating with an expression ofck of confidence that he could do it, but Jaeyoung was very firm. Don''t think you can''t. Those are probablypletely stained by you or the Canon Philia School. yes....? Haimer asks Jaeyoung''s words back with a puzzled expression. And when he turned his head in the direction Jaeyoung was pointing with his chin, he could find a group of magic engineers who were thrilled with a sense of victory. This is it! This was the path to true magical engineering! Through strong firepower, it makes it so that no one dares to even think of attacking... I didnt know it before, but now I think I know what self-defense means! If I had this... I''m sure even those Mage Towers could be wrung out? Ha ha ha ha... Bigger! stronger! The turret! These magic turrets are the true truth of magical engineering! Magical Engineers who seem to have been nted with apletely distorted mindset due to this war. Heimer trembled at the oddly creepy unpleasant feeling he felt deep in his chest when he saw those men with flushed faces, gasping for breath and touching the turret. And seeing them like that, Tan secretly took out a ck scroll and started scribbling a memo in bloody letters. Humans like strong firepower..... Obsessed with being bigger and stronger as much as possible... A good way to corrupt humans is tomit massacres with powerful explosions... Tan recording the lessons learned. Seeing him, the lord of hell and a symbol of corruption, look as if he has attained a great realization, the magic engineers of the Canonphilia school seem to have cut off the ticket to the express train of hell. Jaeyoung was very worried about their afterlife, but he shook his head with a wry smile and said to Haimer. In the future, the Gael Federation will be flooded with adventurers. So be prepared. yes. Are you saying to mass-produce the mana cannon fromst time? okay. Rip it off as much as possible by overpricing the price, and sell as much as you can anyway. They also sell recement mana stones at high prices. After watching Jaeyoung''s video, countless adventurers rush towards the Gael Federation. Jae-young, who expected that it would soon be crowded because of them, was thinking of leaving this ce first. Where... are you going...? huh. We must go to end this war soon. yes....? how....? Haimer looks at Jae-young, who seems to be preparing to leave somewhere, with a curious look. Jaeyoung replied to him with a very evil smile. I gathered all the troops and came here, but we have to do at least robbing empty houses. Chapter 296 Chapter 296 Distorted Peace (2) Third Continent of Arcadia. Once called the Japanese continent and the starting point and base continent for all Japanese subscribers, it was divided into two giant empires. Shoen Empire and Ferros Empire. Two empires that were almost equal in power and maintained a bnce. They were always antagonistic in fierce quarrels and conflicts, but with the great event of continental integration, they were able to achieve a historically unprecedented grand integration. [Do we need to fight among ourselves over the territory of this small continent? There are so many unknown continents out there that I have never known before.] Those who began to cross the boundaries of continents other than the existing ones. In such a situation where signs of war were being detected here and there, Governor Kazuki did his best to silence his subordinates who expressed concern. Don''tment on the abnormal signs detected in the Shoen Empire and the Ferros Empire. I discussed rted matters with the president, and a scenario rted to this is scheduled. Continental unification main scenario chaos. Through the connivance of the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and the public opinion maniption operation of the Cyber Command and the Cab Investigation Office to trigger it, the nned war eventually began, but the result waspletely different from what Kazuki and the Japanese government expected. What the hell is going on right now! A magic turret! What about a gun! magic turret. and a revolver. Hundreds of thousands of users who have been killed in droves at the same time as the appearance of a new weapon that has never been heard of. And the fact that the whole process was broadcast live to hundreds of millions of users in real time made everyone in Arcadia''s Japanese branch literally panic. -Cheek Show!!!! Do you think this makes any sense now! Damn this gamer!!! -Jo X Jing bastards! How dare you cheat like this? This is a gamepany''s trick! -The president of Arcadia said that he was Jo X-Jing, so I thought he would treat you discriminatively. A battle that should have ended in a crushing victory. However, strangely, contrary to their intentions, Japanese users who werepletely unterally defeated naturally poured arrows of their anger toward the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Chief Ji,int calls from Japanese users are pouring in. Chief! The Korean branch is officially demanding rification on this matter. I want to connect you to the branch manager, what should I do? Branch manager... It''s a big deal! Literally all the phone lines were on fire. Employees who are paralyzed by the influx of inquiries andint calls are holding on to the receiver. At the moment, executives at the level of general manager or higher were sweating profusely, wandering around and moving around trying to rectify the situation, but Governor Kazuki just stood there nkly, as if he had no soul, with empty eyes. Why on earth...?'' ording to the wless AI Alice, the war was expected to be an overwhelming victory. This scenario, which should have brought huge profits to Japanese users and huge damage to Korean users, was nowpletely twisted and unfolding in an unexpected direction. By an unknown user. [Come to Gael Federation. Let''s live a new second life here as a canon shooter.] The invasion of the continent by the ck Pirates. And the Ban Incident. A huge catastrophe that made all the executives and staff members of the Arcadia Japan branch grind their teeth far away, and the culprit behind making uncontroble shit. Dex. Director Kazuki, who was watching his grinning smile through the screen, felt as if he heard the sound of something breaking in his chest. Pudeuk. And at a time no one expected, he started to make a sudden eleration. Chick-shoo-ooh! Quaang. Governor Kazuki loses his temper and starts throwing all sorts of things. unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. Leaning on the motto of the gamepany In this scenario, his efforts to feed the Korean continent and the high-nosed CEO Lee Mi-yeon a huge candy wentpletely in vain. As it brought a huge aftermath that they couldn''t even handle. * * * Shoen Empire. As the undisputed losers and great empires that ruled the northern part of the Japanese continent, they possessed the capabilities of an empire in various aspects. A mighty military force built on tradition and discipline built over hundreds of years. Huge productivity based on huge poption. Abundant underground resources and an enormous granary. Although national capabilities were so outstanding that no other country dared topete with them, the emperor''s authority and political power, which had been passed down through generations, was one of the most important driving forces for maintaining the empire. So... What the master is saying is that the Shouen Empire revolves around the emperor, right? Strictly speaking, yes. In a way, the system called an empire was originally created bybining several countries, right? Its easy if you think of it as having everything glued together, feeling like a ragged golem. Hmm..... I think I know something because it''s called a ragged golem... Empire. A system in which one particr country forcibly merges territory that was originally divided into various countries and peoples into one huge country based on strong military force. ording to Jaeyoung''s observations in Arpendia, the Shoen Empire was also formed by devouring various peoples and nations through this age of conquest. Anyway... in order to maintain the Shoen Empire, the emperors use all their arrogance to capture the surrounding vassals, right? Among them, the easiest and most effective way is to weave through blood ties. Its hard to betray easily if you tie everything together by marriage. Ummm... is that so? In fact, the imperial family of the Shen Empire has an incrediblyplex lineage. ording to an article posted on Arpendia by a fanatic Japanese user obsessed with history, the mere fact that an emperor had up to 18 wives shows howplicated their blood rtionships are to maintain the system of the empire. It was a possible subject. That''s why the position the emperor upies in the Shouen Empire is unique. Even the aristocratic faction, which has a strong influence, cannot recklessly oppose or interfere with the imperial family. Since all the nobles and vassals are intertwined inplex interests, if you act hastily, you will be hit back by your enemies right away. The emperor of the Shen Empire, who maintains his authority and influence even in the midst of numerous conflicts, and stands firm as a symbol of invibility. So, Jaeyoung was secretly moving towards the heart of the emperor. It has arrived. It''s a dark night in Arcadia time. Aiming for the time just before dawn, when everyone is asleep, Jaeyoung arrived somewhere in the mountainous terrain where the Imperial Castle, the heart of the Shen Empire and the emperor''s residence, could be seen in the distance, and muttered with a bright smile. You arrived? Do you still have a long way to go? It seems far away, but it is a distance that requires at least several kilometers to go. Since it was also a situation where he avoided well-maintained roads and moved through mountainous terrain infested with monsters, Tan looked at him with a proud smile saying that he had arrived, with a puzzled look. However, Jaeyoung did not answer Tan''s question. He simply stirs the air with a grinning smile, turns on the broadcast that he had temporarily shut down, and waits for the viewers who rush in in an instant. -It''s Dex hyung again! Oh yea! -Dex-sama Dex-sama! If you go to Gael Federation, is it possible to change that canon shooter job? -ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! -brother! I tore my ck panties and cried! -Wow, you turned on the broadcast again? What are you going to do this time? -But where are you? I don''t think it''s Gael Federation, right? -I know? At first nce, it looks like a mountain... Where is it? -Dex hyung, why are you not talking? give me an answer He left the streaming broadcast on and stayed still for over 10 minutes without saying anything. However, despite the chatter pouring in, Jaeyoung did not respond and just quietly checked the number of viewers flocking to his channel. [Number of viewers: 323,128,422] Destroyer''s channel attracted tremendous aggro thanks to what happened in the Gael Federation. Thanks to this, the streaming broadcast, which was turned on again this time, was only over 10 minutes, but the number of users in billions vomited, and the number began to explode again. And..... Then Jaeyoung opened his mouth with a bright smile. Now then, people started to gather, so lets start broadcasting content today. - Oh finally say. - What were you waiting for people toe in? -At least say something. If I had slept a little longer, I would have gone out. -ck color! ck color! As everyone would know if you watched thest broadcast, the current Japanese continents Shouen Empire is leading the yers as well as all continents to attack the Korean continent. Thebined forces of the Shouen Empire and the Ferros Empire are engaged in a fierce siege centering on the Gael Federation. As rted quests had already spread in secret, centered on Japanese adventurers, and the process of the whole incident had been revealed in detail in Arpendia, something quickly started pouring into the chat window at Jaeyoung''s low exnation. And Im trying to end that war right now. -??? -What do you mean by that? Innumerable hooks run at Jae-young''s iprehensible words. Everyone was in a situation full of doubts, but Jaeyoung didn''t say anything and turned the point of view of the broadcast video so that everyone could vividly see what he was watching. The moment of dawn. A luxurious and gigantic fortress with a small sunlight shining as the dawn breaks in the distance. Looking at the ce, the center of politics, economy, history and culture of the Shen Empire and the core supporting one axis of the Japanese continent, Jaeyoung said in a mad voice. The title of today''s content is... The Fall of an Empire. -??? -???????? At his words, the chat window froze for an instant. Everyone wondered as if the ident had stopped. Even though there were hundreds of millions of viewers, as if time had stopped for an instant, no chatting wasing up, but Jaeyoung waved his hand and said. Come out. Whoops. A space that splits like a tear at a brief call. A massive, shiny green object appeared from a crack in the space andnded on the ground with a heavy roar, and the streaming server started to explode in traffic as if it were about to burst. cooong. -That one? - Such crazy!!!! - No way... no way... no? A special mithril turret crafted with great care by Master Heimer of the Canon Philia School. Viewers who are already familiar with the power of magic turrets through various videos. And even the absolutes of the two realms, who knew its power better than anyone else, were genuinely astonished at this moment. Could the owner really do that...? This... is a huge massacre... Tan widened his eyes, saying he didn''t expect it to happen this far. And with a pale face, L groaned and tried to dissuade him. However, after loading the unstable top-ss mana stone bullets imprinted by Haimer himself inside the mithril turret, Jaeyoung spoke in a very firm tone. If this war doesnt end quickly, millions of people will die meaninglessly, and users will suffer huge losses in the process, right? Woo woo woo. A magic turret that starts operating at Jaeyoung''s unstoppable hand movements and creates intense waves of mana. And he spoke to everyone, including Tan and L, as well as the viewers who would be watching through the broadcast. This is all for peace, folks. Chapter 297 Chapter 297 Distorted Peace (3) This is all for peace, everyone. Tuung. A red, sparkling, top-quality mana stone that shoots out of the mithril turret at high speed with a dull sound. It disappeared in an instant from Jaeyoung and everyone else watching the broadcast, forming an ominous red tail towards the peaceful imperial castle of the Shoen Empire, where the morning sun was shining down in the distance. And..... Kwaaaang. A gigantic sh of light and a mighty explosion sound suddenly exploded in the distance. Along with the strong emission of light that obscured everything, an enormous roar and shock wave immediately followed Jaeyoung''s location. Quarrrrr. Kwak Kwa Kwam. A situation where huge trees that are decades old are shaking like crazy to the point of being worried that they might not break. Tan held onto Jaeyoung''s hem to keep from being blown away by the aftermath, and El looked at the ce where the Shoen Imperial Pce used to be, spreading a divine shield around his body with a serious face. -???? -Wow..... What is that..... -Such a crazy..... mushroom cloud here? -nucleus....? Unlike Tan and El, hundreds of millions of viewers experienced the destructive power of the top-notch mana stone for the first time. Even though they watched it indirectly through the Inte through a real-time broadcast, they could vividly feel the power of Jae-young''s blow. An eruption of tremendous energy that instantly evaporates the surrounding atmosphere and a huge mushroom cloud that arises from the epicenter. Their reaction was more explosive than ever because it was a phenomenon that can only be found in nuclear weapons, which are said to be the strongest and worst weapons of mankind. - What crazy! Isn''t this a real scam??? - What was it, really? Could this be a magic turret? -No, this is not a level of destructive power that makes sense! What the hell... what is this? -I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! The situation in the chat window was literally full of astonishment. But soon, in this shocking situation that made no sense, they began to create reasons for this to be possible by delusion within the brain. -Isn''t it a quest item? -Yeah..... Maybe it''s breaking the main scenario that we don''t know about . -Admittedly. Does it make sense to use such nonsensical space-destroying weapons? - No, how the hell do you get a crazy quest like that in the game? The spection that it was caused by an item obtained during a roughly special quest is gaining strength among viewers, and in a situation where all sorts of discussions and quarrels are bing a mess, Jae-young carefully examines the mushroom cloud rising from far away and sounds surprised. shouted with uh? Aren''t they all broken yet? Unlikemon minerals, a rare mineral mana stone with a very unique property of naturally absorbing and umting mana around it. Among them, a situation in which all the mana of the top-notch mana stone, which was said to have epted and umted mana for a long time over hundreds and thousands of years, was forcibly copsed and runaway. Among the dragons, the masters of magic, the self-sacrifice magic spells improved and supplemented by the ancient dragon Cervenian, who reached the peak of his academic achievement, showed dozens of times more powerful destructive power than the existing ones. An asymmetric strategic weapon capable of literally devastating a city at once. However, it is the capital and imperial castle of the gigantic and vast Shouen Empire built in a thousand years of brilliant history. This imperial castle was one of thergest cities in Arcadia, which was formed over several kilometers at least, so even the best mana stones could not swallow the entire city at once. Whoops. A defensive magic circle reacting by scattering very weak light in the middle of the half-destroyed imperial castle. I don''t know how long it has existed, but Jaeyoung frowned at the sight of the imperial pce remaining intact under the shield, which seemed faintly as if it had exhausted itsst strength, but soon disappeared. what. Everything else was blown away, but isn''t that imperial pce just fine? Jae-young blew up the highest-grade mana stone in the sky exactly where the imperial pce was located. Of course, seeing that the imperial pce, which was thought to be the first to be dusted, was intact and all other areas had evaporated without even leaving a remnant, Jaeyoung made a puzzled expression as if he hadn''t expected this. did. -What kind of ce is the Shouen Empire, and it seems like it will copse under an attack like this? - Where do you dare to aim for the subject of Jo X Jing hahahaha - Anyway, there is nothing I can do about stupid kimchi bastards who have no such thing as a samurai spirit. -Kimchi die. -Wow..... Even for a game, isn''t this kind of genocide too much? - Inseong really..... Are you a psychopath? - Did the quest fail? Is it like that? Ha ha ha ha ha ha It''s a twist. Maliciousments that smell like pickled radish. Of course, such usations and ridicule disappeared without a mouse or a bird by the enormous firepower beyond imagination of the deck fans who poured out soon, but Jae-young said with a smack. Thats right... I could have been in big trouble. They said it was an empire, so it was a ce worthy of its real name? Jaeyoung thought he could organize everything with just one room. However, as he looked at the imperial pce, which had blocked such a reckless attack, he said as if he was very fortunate. It was good that I brought everything just in case. Patter. Five top-notch red mana stones taken out of the inventory. The chat window went silent for a moment as he looked at the mana stones, all of which were emitting an unstable light that was about to explode at any moment due to the self-sacrifice magic engraved by Hymer himself. -? -That... wasn''t the end...? -Disposable... isn''t it? -??? Of course, users roughly assumed that it would be a special item that could only be used once. However, at the chatting of such users, Jaeyoung asked with a face, What did you mean by that? No, why on earth is this disposable? Jaeyoung reloads the top-notch mana stone and aims at the imperial castle of the Shouen Empire. And he answered their questions in a very natural tone. Even if it looks like this, it is a legendary level instation item. Tuung. The heart and symbol of the splendid and gigantic empire that has umted over a thousand years of history. The emperor of the Shen Empire, who united and united dozens of kingdoms and boasted overwhelming authority and ruling power, and the lineage of all the imperial families. At this moment, it haspletely disappeared into the backwaters of history. With three giant mushroom clouds. * * * Ellis who oversees everything in Arcadia. She was analyzing the results in real time, along with three mushroom clouds rising from the Shouen Empire at this moment. [All members of the imperial family, including the emperor of the Shen Empire, are killed.] [All key nobles and elite troops of the Sen Empire are killed.] The emperor and the imperial family, who supported the Shen Empire, died. And the nobles and administrators who supported and moved the entire empire, the core knights and troops that wielded power on the continent with mighty arms disappeared altogether. along with all the grounds in which they lived. [Destroy 99.92% of the Imperial Castles of the Shoen Empire. Unable to survive.] [The Imperial Castle of the Shoen Empire'' is changed to Deste Ruins''.] So, the Imperial Castle of the Shoen Empire disappeared after being changed to a deste ruin where nothing existed. Despite this unprecedented situation in which all the important quests and clues of hidden contents that existed within it were blown away without a trace, there was no mercy in her disposal. [Analysis of the political security of the Shoen Empire..... Anarchy.] [Political stability -999. Explosive possibility of rebellion by the nobility of the emirates and provinces.....] [Prediction of future scenarios..... Copse of the empire, fall of the empire, rebellion, invasion...] Alice''s scenario predictions onlye out with grim keywords. While analyzing what would happen in the future in the Japanese continent and the Shouen Empire, she also began to calcte the contributions to the cause that created all of this. [yer dex.] [Analysis of contribution to the scenario.....] She hasputational power far beyond human imagination. However, even Alice was able to make that decision after analyzing the matter for a long time. [Analysispleted..... Compensation process started.] He said that he would pay for this incident. * * * [Mission. 7 isplete.] [Measures the yer''s contribution.] -NPC Haimer''s rescue. - Creation of Canon Philia. -Development of magic turrets. -Creation of Cannon Shooter. . . . -The fall of the Shoen Empire. There are dozens of messages that are densely written about what Jaeyoung has done. And soon, an enormous number of windows started literally pouring out with a loud notification sound. [Achieving a feat that would shock the entire continent. Everyone pays attention to the yer''s progress.] [We have opened a new era of magic science. All magic engineers are in awe of the yer.] [Grand massacre. Hell is horrified at the evil deeds that even the demon king would be astonished at.] [Peace protected with blood. The heavens are watching you with confused eyes at the contradictory cause and effect.] [The title Pioneer of Magical Science has been acquired.] [ The title The Founder of Cannon Shooters has been acquired.] [The title Haimers eternal benefactor has been obtained.] . . . [The title Empire Destroyer has been acquired.] [The title Crazy yer has been obtained] [The title Emperor yer has been acquired] There are literally dozens of titles pouring in. And each and every one of those titles contained what the world tree said no one would be able to easily obtain, so-called mighty and gigantic karma that no single human could dare to build. That''s why a huge storm of probability rushes over to Jaeyoung. [Probability 82355300 obtained.] When the probability of 82 million was given as a reward, Jaeyoung finally smiled brightly and muttered. Hey. Still, it''s worth the investment. You give me this much. An enormous amount that he did not receive even when catching dragons or unifying continents. But Jaeyoung seemed to know the reason. The amount of probability varies ording to the degree of ripple effect on the entire continent of Arcadia...'' The birth of magic science that will bring an enormous aftermath to the entire continent. Presumably, this is the reason why the amount of probability received as a reward has changed, and Jae-young is happy. L and Tan were showing different reactions. What the hell... is my father thinking...?'' L lost in thought with a serious face. ording to her essential attributes, pursuing goodness and walking on the path of light, what Jaeyoung did was nothing but evil. But I couldn''t just me him for that. Whoops. It is her power, the core of her divinity, and the forerunner of thew of cause and effect, the source of always being able to make right and just judgments. Those eyes were showing clearly. The fact that Jae-young''s actions prevented a huge tragedy that would only end with the shedding of thousands... hundreds of millions of blood, with minimal sacrifice. It''s really... it''s strange...'' She willingly signed a contract as a guardian angel with the conviction that she would help her walk the right path of pursuing goodness so that she would not be corrupted by the tricks of that bastard bat, but why? For the first time ever, Michael felt a strange feeling that his own goodness was corrupting. The hotness of shooting such a ruthless weapon three times without hesitation... Apparently, that owner... is definitely the reincarnation of the former demon king... A human being who is a model of devils and a symbol of viciousness... Seeing the same thing as himself, he looked at the demon bastard in a corner over there, taking notes so seriously with an impressive face as if he had learned a lesson today. Chapter 298 Chapter 298 It''s a game anyway (1) The cataclysm of the Shoen Empire in Arcadia. It was just an illusion that happened in a game, but since it was Arcadia enjoyed by billions of people around the world, the aftermath was so huge that it could not be easily overlooked. -Are nuclear weapons appearing in fantasy in the virtual reality arcadia game? - An empire on the Japanese continent that has been destroyed by nuclear weapons. A reenactment of a historical tragedy? -Three mushroom clouds rising from the imperial castle of the Shouen Empire. A blitz analysis of the inside story! A mushroom cloud that can only be seen at the scene of a huge explosion that releases tremendous energy at once. When the cloud, known as a representative symbol of nuclear explosion, rose from the fantasy world of Arcadia and, of course, from the Shouen Empire on the Japanese continent, the Japanese media began to rush into this issue with foam at the mouth. [This is Arcadia''s malicious retaliation against Japan! A nuclear explosion in a game with a medieval fantasy world view! Does this make sense now? It must have been carefully intervened by the highest-ranking executives who have a grudge against Japan!] [ As an expert who has been nning, developing, and operating games for decades, what is currently happening in Arcadia is far beyondmon sense. . Regarding the settings and bnce in the game, it is entirely up to the operatingpany, and I haven''t checked the internal data in detail, but this is no matter how you look at it...] [Virtual realityparing the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki We condemn the vicious Arcadia Co., Ltd., which caused deep wounds and sorrow to all Japanese people even in the midst of this! If we do not search out and severely punish all those involved in this situation, we will boycott Arcadia from now on...] The past era of Japanese imperialism. As the first country to be subjected to a nuclear attack during World War II, there were painful memories of falling into a defeated country with numerous casualties one after another, so there were more people than expected who turned a blind eye to this incident. -These fucking joXjing bastards!!!!!! - No matter how much I think about it, my anger doesn''t subside! Any idea what to do? -This is a national problem! The Japanese government should officially respond to this issue! -Cho X-Jing, president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., resign immediately! Those who are furious and are stering the bulletin board with all sorts of campaigns through Arfandia, including the resignation movement of President Lee Mi-yeon, boycott movement, national provocation, and diplomacy. However, unlike the Japanese users, the Korean users were truly in a festive mood. -Kiya!!! Jumo! Bring Kimchi! Shata down today! Are you not going home? -The first simr country to be hit with both nukes, both real and virtual. -???? It''s the same as attacking sherrys first and then pretending to be victims. -????: History repeats itself. - Hahahahahaha How does Joseon''s counterattack taste? -ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! -Why is it so fun to see Japanese guys clenching their teeth? Haha Dex blew away the imperial castle of the Shoen Empire, Japan''s core and most powerful axis, in an instant. The target was also Japan, where public sentiment was at its worst, and due to the new job canon shooter released by him, there was no public opinion criticizing him by expressing doubts orints about the bnce problem rted to nuclear weapons. -Cannon Shooter How do I change jobs? -For that, go to the Canon Philia school in the Gael Federation and buy the equipment. -Kiaaaaang!!! gun! gun! revolver!!! - From now on, I''m going to sweep everything away. Dex, an enemy that would not be cool to Japanese users even if he chewed it, became a hero receiving tremendous praise from Korean users. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was intensively managing and watching him, was talking to Executive Director Kwon Myung-han about measures to be taken with a tired expression. In the future, the Gael Federation will continue to mass-produce a new equipment called Mana Cannon'' and the resulting job called Cannon Shooter. Therefore, users of various levels will continue to flow into the neighborhood, so please consider adjusting the level of the quest or nearby monsters ordingly. All right. And... Please refrain from mentioning the new concept of siege equipment called the magic turret, even among internal staff if possible. In the future, when responding to media outlets, conduct thorough internal crackdowns so that the word nuclear does note out. There are still calls pouring in asking if there is a hack in the real game. So, at the words of CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who frowned with annoyed face, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han nodded and replied. As instructed earlier, the phenomenon that urred in the Imperial Castle of the Shoen Empire is only the effect of the item ording to the magic setting in the game, and it is informed that it has no effect or rtionship to nuclear weapons in reality. Arcadia in the medieval fantasy world. It maintained that worldview and dered its will to do so in the future, and even announced an official statement saying that the mushroom cloud from the Shoen Empire had nothing to do with nuclear weapons, but the word nuclear continued to pour in articles and newspapers on the Inte. Rather than that... may I ask what you n to do with Japan in the future? hmm? What do you mean by that? As you know, boss... The attack that the Shouen Empireunched this time wasn''t just a simple war, was it? Continental unification main scenario Chaos that only President Lee Mi-yeon knew about. Among the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., only she had ess to this information, so no one except for Kazuki and Dex knew the details. Even Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, now standing in front of her. As the Crisis Management and Response Team conducted an exhaustive investigation of the contents of the quests posted by Japanese users on Arpendia, it was found that the Shouen Empires attack this time was abined attack with the Feros Empire, which was known to have an enemy rtionship. An attack in which hundreds of thousands of users andrge Japanese guilds all participated. Although he did not perform well and was defeated by the carpet bombing of the magic turret created by the Canon Philia School, the executive director Kwon Myung-han and the crisis management response team were able to capture the unclear circumstances. Furthermore, ording to our investigation, it was confirmed that someone systematically moved to enlist the Japanese and get them to participate in this attack. Fromrge portal sites in Japan, including Arfandia, to very smallmunity sites. Although we couldn''t confirm it because we didn''t have authority because it was a Japanese ount, it is estimated that public opinion maniption was extensively done. Public opinion that promotes antipathy and hatred toward Korea, which has rapidly increased at some point in Japan. Executive Director Kwon Myung-han smelled the secret operation carried out by direct intervention by the Japan Self-Defense Force''s Cyber Command and the Cab Investigation Office. However, since the information had already been collected and captured through the eyes of Argos, reported through Alice, and the whole process was being watched in real time, President Lee Mi-yeon did not show any surprise at such words from Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han. So... what do you want to say? At President Lee Mi-yeon''s words to tell only the main points, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han took out a report he was holding in his hand and said with a cautious yet confident look. Anyway, it seems that Kazuki, the head of the Japanese branch, was deeply involved in this incident. Even if Alice did not provide relevant information, these are matters that could not have been caught if we were conducting periodic monitoring of major regions and powers. The Japanese branch intentionally concealed and concealed the relevant circumstances. If the user called Dex hadn''t stopped it, it would cause enormous damage to the Korean continent, and at the same time, the whole war would have to expand to a scale that could not be dared to handle. Although it did not lead to such a catastrophe, Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, spoke in a cold voice as his anger toward the Japanese branch intentionally avoided his phone calls and continued to be uncooperative did not disappear. There is a suspicion that Arcadia manipted the flow of the game and maliciously intervened in a way that benefited Japanese users, not the smooth operation and management of Arcadia. In this regard, along with Branch Manager Kazuki, I would like to request an all-round special audit for Arcadia Japan Branch. Branch manager Kazuki tried to shove a huge candy into his mouth and the whole Korean branch. Even though the n went beyond failure, it was a situation where they were locked in their mouths, but Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, was full of determination not to go over it. After receiving the report from his hand, President Lee Mi-yeon soon turned over the paper and began examining its contents. Hmm... I did a lot more research than I thought. President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a surprised face. To her words, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han replied with a brightened face. I havent been able to find more concrete evidence due tock of authority, but... I am sure that we will be able to figure out the truth if we proceed with the audit. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who is full of determination to clearly reveal everything about this situation. However, President Lee Mi-yeon had to think about something a little different after seeing his face like that. How do I go about this quietly...'' An incident that will not end with just one branch manager. It was an incident closely linked to the highest power organs of the Japanese government and even the prime minister, but the situation was too bad to explode now. [I will file an impeachment bill against the electric government! This is a judgment on a huge corruption that refuses tomunicate with the people and creates a huge sinkhole and gives huge profits to a specificpany with the absurdity of building a huge underground city in the middle of downtown Seoul where 10 million people live! ] In the end, the situation dered war against the electric government. There would be nothing good in revealing the futile Japanese government''s secret operations in a situation where the political situation was already chaotic, so President Lee Mi-yeon thought hard about something for a long time and soon stood up as if she had made up her mind. Come to think of it... didnt you say there was a press conference today? yes....? ah. yes. I was just going to report it to the boss and go down right away. When she asks about the press conference, which he is not normally interested in, Executive Director Kwon Myung-Han looks at his watch with a puzzled face. In response to his answer, President Lee Mi-yeon asked with her eyes wide open as if a little unexpected. oh? Are you presenting yourself? Yes..... Because the matter is the matter..... Arcadia Co., Ltd. is notorious for being very unfriendly to reporters and does notmunicate well. The Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. suffered from all sorts of issues in the past and stood at the center of controversy, but until now, when an official statement was made to reporters, a spokesperson usually came forward. However, this time, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who decided that it would be difficult for a spokesperson to directly deal with the situation, decided toe out in front of the camera and talk about the situation, and was fully prepared. President Lee Mi-yeon said to him with a wide smile as if it went well. Good for you. That press conference will be announced by me. yes....? You don''t have to do that... Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Since she, the CEO in charge of all branches around the world and the undisputed top decision maker, had never made such an announcement in front of reporters, executive director Kwon Myung-han was clearly taken aback by her sudden decision to make it herself. However, President Lee Mi-yeon leaves him behind and leads the way out of the office and enters the elevator. I tried to follow her as she was heading to the lobby where the press conference was to be held, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon stopped her. Dont follow me and watch me on TV in my office. CEO Lee Mi-yeon speaks with a bright smile as the elevator door closes. At herst words, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han felt indescribable fear. Because I will take responsibility for this matter and take care of it. Chapter 299 Chapter 299 It''s a game anyway (2) Arcadia''s official press conference. In normal times, they only spread statements or press releases to rify various controversies and suspicions, but it was not verymon to directly stand in front of the camera and make a statement, so the reporters gathered at the office building of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were really crowded. . Wow... how many people did you really have? It seems that all the mediapanies in Korea have gathered. A lot of foreign media also came to visit... A scale beyond imagination. Even for a globalpany, it was extremely rare to find a case where hundreds of reporters rushed in like this, so it was extremely rare to find a case like this. It was quite a strange spectacle for the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. whoe and go. This time, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon said he was briefing in front of reporters. what....? The executive director himself? uh. Overall, there is so much information with limited ess that no one really knows the inside information about this situation. Because of that rtionship, they said that they would have to step forward directly to the reporters to cover only information that could be made public. A situation in which most of the detailed information is restricted from being read by all employees below the department manager level. In such a situation, the decision was made because it was difficult for the public affairs office or spokesperson to deal smoothly with the reporters who turned on the light in their eyes and rushed to find the story. Well... if that''s the reason, then it''s only right that the executive director step forward. yes. To be honest, when I see him talking with manager Kang Tae-hoon, it seems like the executive director doesn''t know much about it, but at least among us, he knows the situation very well... Huh...? Two employees whispering while having a heated discussion about this press conference. However, soon after they saw a person with a very familiar face walking from afar, they opened their mouths in a daze. The boss of thepany...? No, boss, why are you here...? Even the public rtions staff who were preparing for this press conference were looking at her as she walked proudly with an expression of embarrassment. And President Lee Mi-yeon, who approached them, asked with a very bright smile. Am I notte? yes....? ah! yes! The person in charge hurriedly handed over a wad of thick paper at President Lee Mi-yeon''s gesture to ask for a statement to be announced at this press conference. Sensing the gaze of the employee staring at her with questionable eyes, CEO Lee Mi-yeon then began to exin why she had appeared here instead of managing director Myung-han Kwon. Ah, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han had a situation, so I decided to take charge of the briefing for this press conference myself. Then can we start now? An employee who realized that he acted rudely in front of the boss in a very unexpected situation. He started guiding President Lee Mi-yeon, sweating with a slight embarrassment. ah! yes. Reporters have all arrived. When you are ready, you can start the press conference right away. Following the guidance of the staff in charge of the public affairs office, CEO Mi-yeon Lee slowly climbed onto the podium. After btedly informed that she had decided to hold a press conference, the executives and the head of the public affairs office came down to the lobby with paleplexions, but numerous cameras and spotlights were already shining on her. [Hello, reporters from Korea and around the world. My name is Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd.] She appeared for the first time at an official press conference and began to speak. Although it was held due to a bad incident in the game, President Lee Mi-yeon opened her mouth with a very bright andfortable smile. Pang Pang Pang. The camera sh burst out furiously as if it would go blind. In the heat of the hot coverage, CEO Lee Mi-yeon dered. [Then, from now on, we will begin aprehensive press conference briefing on the recent events at the Imperial Castle of the Shen Empire.] * * * The rtionship between the Shen Empire and the Faros Empire. Continent unification by world tree. The history and characteristics of the Gael Federation. It was a virtual setting, a historical content and a fictional story that was useless in reality, but the reporters listened attentively to all the things that flowed out of Lee Mi-yeon''s mouth, writing them down diligently so as not to miss a single thing. [In conclusion, the unification of the continents by the world tree implied the possibility that all continents would soon regard each other as rivals or objects of conquest and start a war with each other. It is true that the time hase much sooner than we predicted, but the fact that the Shouen Empire and the Ferros Empire, which were originally enemies, joined forces to attack the Gael Federation, an external enemy, can be seen as inevitable. ] The Japanese continent united as one to attack the external enemy, the Korean continent. This process can happen on other continents and can be easily found even in the thousands of years of recorded human history, so President Lee Mi-yeon said as if it was a very natural thing. [So, in this process, the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. held a festival based on the Fantastic Universe before the Pangea update was made so that users could coexist with each other. We hope that yers from other continents will not be ostracized and hostile because they have different cultures andnguages. However, seeing what happened this time, it seems that our feelings have not been conveyed to Japanese users, so it is a very unfortunate situation for me as the president.] As a global citizen, I pray that we will not act hostile toward other continents while showing humanity President Lee Mi-yeon who said that. Watching her speak as if she was sincerely sorry, some did not hide their difort. Does that mean that the Japanese yers who participated in this war did something wrong? [It doesn''t mean that. It is the user''s individual freedom to carry out the given quest for personal gain or organization''s sess. It just means that there is a personal regret that we could have made a different choice ording to our basic moral sense beyond our role in the game.] ....? Something is ambiguous and ambiguous, but anyway, President Lee Mi-yeon speaks with the feeling that Japanese users are wrong. However, there were so many other questions to ask about, that I wandered off to another topic. The imperial castle of the Shoen Empire has beenpletely destroyed. What is your recovery n for this? [Um..... I think everyone knows this because there have been several simr cases in Korea and Japan, but there are many foreign reporters, so I have to say it again. There is no n to restore the ruined castle of the Shouen Empire at all, and there will never be any in the future.] Yes...? What do you mean! It''s not going to be repaired. The imperial castle, the core heart of the Shoen Empire. Incredible impact and quality quests. And at President Lee Mi-yeon''s deration that he would blow up the ce where all the major facilities needed for various high-ranking jobs were lined up, a cry of bewilderment erupted here and there. [Infinite freedom. And infinite possibilities.] President Lee Mi-yeon mentions Arcadia''s motto. And then, she smiled. [If the gamepany was going to provide such convenience, it wouldn''t have blown up the beginner''s vige in the first ce, right? Even for the sake of fairness and equity, we will not artificially intervene to restore the imperial castle of the Shouen Empire or take special measures.] President Lee Mi-yeon deres that there will be no negotiations or adjustments in this area. Then, gesturing as if he had nothing more to say, he began to ask the next question. In the case of the newly introduced Cannon Shooter... The magic turret that the Gael Federation made is an instable item... I wonder if a new job could be created on another continent... Other than the reporters from Japan, reporters who have little interest in the Imperial Castle of the Shouen Empire and are more interested in topics other than that. At the moment when the subject had been quietly buried by them and was about to move on, shouts of protest began to erupt from here and there. -As a result of checking the game data, it was confirmed that the user was abusing the bug. - We will sanction the user in question and immediately proceed with full-scale restoration of the damage situation. - We deeply apologize to Japanese users who have been affected by this incident. The press conference waspletely different from the reaction that Japanese foreign media were expecting. Seeing CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiling and saying, Let''s take the enormous damage to Japanese users, they lost their reason and shouted, forgetting even their duty as reporters. This is the tyranny of gamepanies against Japanese users! Since the Korean president is in charge, such malicious and biased measures are taken! The game that Josenjing eats! How do you win mentally in a weak country like this! President Josenjing! Back off! and that moment. Only cold silence lingered around the press conference. CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who was directly insulted by them. Other key reporters who are Korean, such as CEO Lee Mi-yeon. Even other foreign reporters who were covering with them next to them. Everyone in the lobby here is looking at them with cold eyes. The lobby, which had been as noisy as the floor of the market, fell into silence for an instant, and the Japanese reporters, who had been pouring out curse words that were almost out of control, only then rolled their eyes with a puzzled face. [Ohe to think of it, thanks to the Japanese reporters, I remembered one more thing to tell you.] President Lee Mi-yeon, smiling at them. Wearing a very uneasy smile, she looked back at the other reporters and said, [This time, the number of users who collectively attacked the Gael Federation was 329,213. An unusuallyrge number of people participated in a short period of time. And in the process of internally investigating this, we were able to capture arge amount of hate speech and organized propaganda posts on numerous portal sites andmunity sites in Japan.] What does that mean again...? So.... who instigated the attack on the Korean continent in Japan? really? Wow... you mean it wasnt just like that? The press conference room was agitated for an instant at those words. Since it was the president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. to expose the suspicion, they began to write something down busily with strange expressions as if they were thinking of a usible story in their heads. [It is not possible to know exactly who instigated the public opinion, but it was confirmed that the branch manager Kazuki, who is in charge of the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., was deeply involved in this n.] What is that? The Japanese branch manager intervened in the attack on the Korean continent? Wow... Really? A collective attack on Korea by Japanese yers. And when they heard that there was a high-ranking executive of Arcadia Co., Ltd. in charge of the Japanese branch behind it, the press conference room started to be noisy as if a bomb had exploded. [Therefore, as of the current time, Kazuki, the branch manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Japan, will be dismissed from his position, and an intensive special audit will be conducted for the entire Japanese branch. In the future, through a thorough investigation and audit, we promise to thoroughly understand the circumstances of this incident and to disclose all the results of this in a transparent manner . He looked at the Japanese reporters standing there with shocked faces and said. [And.... There are people who keep tying it up with what happened in the past, saying that what happened in the Japanese continent this time was maliciously plotted in Korea to feed Japan...] Mushroom cloud People who show intense PTSD and run away with their eyes closed. Mentioning them, President Lee Mi-yeon winked her eyes and smiled. And she said it like it really didn''t matter. [It''s in the game anyway, right? Don''t rush to die too much.] Chapter 300 Chapter 300 Lunch''s Great Adventure (1) Iplus Co., Ltd., a general MCNpany. They benefited enormously from the cataclysm of the video content market, which is growing day by day, and the advertising industry, where enormous funds are exchanged. [The advertising effect and added value of Arcadia''s various video contents has grown to an extent that is iparable to that of ordinary and traditional media. These days, the young generation is not watching TV, and at that time, they grab their smartphones and rummage through Arfandia, and they are more enthusiastic about Arcadia''s famous streamers than celebrities. Just looking at this, the future of the entertainment industry will continue to change...] With the advent of Arcadia, a virtual reality,rge streamers have gained immense poprity. Many people jumped into this market because the huge amount of advertising revenue they earn per day was as small as hundreds to billions of dors. -Popr celebrity B, new Arcadia video channel! - Young people jumping into virtual reality games. challenge for their sess. - Earning 100 million was the easiest. Sess secrets of popr streamers! The size of the market is rapidly increasing and growing day by day. And Iplus Co., Ltd. gained enormous recognition and reputation in the process, and it became recognized as the best MCNpany among new streamers. - No matter what anyone says, isnt iPlus Co., Ltd.s lineup boring? -agreed. The lineup there must be #1 in the world, right? -Destroyer''s daily life Even with just one channel, all of them are overwhelmed haha -Ah..... I want to debut on iPlus too. Why am I not contacting you? Choco Piejoa, Summoner, the king of spirits. Circle 1 Archmage Angelina. All Weapon Master Casis. I am Yatongson, the cksmith of the mes. Dex, the emperor of ck panties. Although it is a newpany less than two years old, Iplus Co., Ltd. is making its name known by recruiting users with huge poprity and fandom as streamers. The owner of thispany, CEO Cho Seo-wook, was sitting in front of one of therge customers, Chinese food, and talking seriously. So... this time I have to solve a mythical quest, but I think I need some help. Are you saying this? Suddenly, Jung-sikes to the office and asks for help. He began briefly exining to CEO Jo Seo-wook about his recent situation and the quests he had to solve. yes. I need to find a hidden historical site, but the area supposed to be there is not a ce I can go around alone. Mythic quest Resurrection of an erased divinity. Talking about the days when the dwarves were cheering and cheering day and night, shouting and praising his name at the top of his voice, he said. Vulcanus, the god of fire and steel. He is the one who gave me the hidden ss, and the main content of the quest is to resurrect his divinity that disappeared in Arcadia. I thought it wouldn''t be easy because it''s a quest rted to mythology... but it wasn''t a joke after all. Umm... I see. While listening to the story of the luncheon, CEO Cho Seo-wook nodded with a serious face. And while listening to his story, he pounded the calctor furiously in his head and thought. This... is very good?'' I am Yattongson, the holder of the first mythic grade item. Many people questioned the hammer he had, and even visited the studio where he was located to ask questions, but Jung-sik never mentioned it. As stories that had never been known before began toe out of his mouth, CEO Jo Seo-wook was able to intuit that this was a piece of superrge content that no one had ever tried. Minimum Myth... No, if this quest, which seems to be a main scenario, is broadcast in real-time streaming...'' The broadcasting industry has been dying over a year since Arcadia was released. It has been a long time since content that has already been routinely hunted or explored unknown viges or dungeons has been ignored while hearing that it is banal. -no fun. -?? You thought I came in to watch you hunt? - Is this your first broadcast? Even if it''s a reaction, you have to be proud. - I was too bored, so I reflected on it ^^ - Exploring the dungeon. dungeon hunting. bored now Whew. Spicy viewers who leave the channel with all sorts of badments and non-terrorism even if it is a little uninteresting or ordinary. Considering that many streamers are struggling toe up with novel and extraordinary ideas in order to satisfy their needs and give them a different stimulus, this content that Joong-sik brought was truly the best content for broadcasting. But the problem is... The ce where the ruins are supposed to be... is an ice bug? yes. So, it was very difficult for me to conduct the exploration alone. An ice bug, one of the five forbidden regions that exist in Arcadia. Thisnd of death, where everything froze in the bone-chilling cold, was a ce that boasted such an atrocious level of difficulty that no one had ever sessfully returned alive. -Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what is this ice bug here? I went in unknowingly and was frozen. -The level of the cold condition there is filthy high. It is impossible to enter at all with normal resistance. -I heard the blizzard dot damage was just insane? He lost 3% of his HP per second. -Is that a problem? The minimum level of monsters there is 300; -What the hell did you enter there with? Did you go crazy because you wanted to die... - A ce where the developer just told you not toe. - Lol lol. It will be resolved someday, but I don''t know, but won''t it take another two years from now? With abnormal levels of monsters that far exceed the average level of users. Even the cold and blizzards that ordinary items or resistances could not dare to block. Jo Seo-wook couldn''t help but put on a puzzled expression when Joong-sik said that there would be a historical site hidden in thisnd of the dead, where even ordinary life is not allowed to approach. First of all... as a general user, exploration itself would be impossible. yes. When I saw it, it seemed that way too. So, I also looked here and there in Arpendia, but there was no answer, so I came here to ask for help, wondering if there was a possible way. Um..... Iceberg, an unknownnd where no urate information is known yet. It was a ce where it waspletely unpredictable what dangers might lurk and what unexpected situations would arise, so Seo-wook Cho''s thoughts were bound to be more and moreplicated. First of all... ordinary streamers will reject this exploration itself. Not only do you not know what kind of broadcasting ident will happen, but the probability of dying differently from other content is too high. That''s right..... No matter how sweetly he could pull out the number of views, the death penalty that increased exponentially as the level went up was a high risk to bear. Since most streamers react sensitively to the huge experience points and decrease in skill proficiency, the number of people that CEO Jo Seo-wook could recruit had to disappear. What should I do.....'' It''s too sad to just refuse. Moreover, it was not a content that even the representative of the agency Joong-shik is a part of could not just sit by and watch, so he was able to think of a person in his mind after struggling for a long time. I don''t know if it''s him, but it''s possible...'' He is a VVIP streamer of Iplus Co., Ltd. and has heated up the whole of Arcadia by creating all kinds of entricities and unique contents that no one can imagine. Dex. CEO Jo Seo-wook cautiously spoke to Joong-sik, as he had an unknown and strong conviction that if he had the resolution andbat power he had shown so far, he would be able to sessfully solve this expedition. Um... then have you talked to Dex-sama? Dex is the one who connected Chinese food to Iplus Co., Ltd. in the first ce. When CEO Jo Seo-wook asked if he had asked him for help, Joong-sik nodded with a dark expression and said, Yes..... I sent a separate note, but they said it would be difficult because they were busy with other things right now..... They said they were on the opposite side. Where did you say...? I think he said he was in the Gael Federation. That''s too bad. I don''t know what he''s doing, but Dex says it''s difficult to participate in exploration. CEO Cho Seo-wook was looking forward to it because his appearance alone was tantamount to paying a guarantee check, but when Jung-sik said that it would be difficult, he licked his lips with a face full of regret. Then lets put things together for now. First of all, the main purpose is to find the hidden ruins in the ice bug, so you will need someone who specializes in exploration or exploration. We also need people who can deal with powerful level 300 monsters. Yes..... Joong-sik thought it would be realistically impossible to find such a person even if he thought about it himself. However, unlike him, CEO Seowook Jo took out the phone with a smile on his face as if he hade up with a good idea. ah. yes. Hello, customer. Are you able to call me? It''s nothing else... CEO Cho Seo-wook, who was calling several people with lunch in front of him. After holding onto the phone for a long time, he said with a bright expression. This exploration... I think we can proceed. Is that so...? yes. I can''t honestly guarantee that it will be sessful... but there is one user I personally know. That friend will probably be of great help in clearing the quest. They''re monsters.... If I ask Angelina and Casis, I think something will work out. Two people who made a splendid debut as winners of the magic ss and closebat ss of the World''s Greatest Martial Arts Tournament. Angelina and Casis. They are the people who know Dex and each other well, and their overwhelmingbat power has been clearly proven, so they are the most optimal users for this journey. A journey in which all the leading members and main streamers of iPlus participate. This was a golden opportunity that he, the CEO of Iplus, could never give up. All of ourpany''s signboard members gather in one ce to proceed with a myth-level quest that has never been revealed before... No matter how you look at it, this is unconditionally a jackpot.'' Although it is iparable to Dex, the three of them are building their own fandom. So Seo-wook Jo imagined it. Streaming video transmitted to the world in real time. Exploding viewership and traffic. The happy imagination of achieving the highest ratings ever recorded and receiving advertising offers and love calls from all kinds ofpanies that paid huge amounts of money. That''s why he said with his eyes glowing with more enthusiasm and motivation than Jung-sik, the main character of the quest. I will prepare everything you need as much as possible. Don''t worry about this content... I hope you take care of it. Ah... yes... In this way, the video content that triggers the main scenario of Arcadia''s second continent integration, which Iplus Co., Ltd. is risking life and death for, was nned. It existed in the beginning, but has now lost even its existence. The beginning of a new cataclysm, announcing the revival of Heosin in the era of myths that have been erased. Chapter 301 Chapter 301 Lunch''s Great Adventure (2) Forbidden. Areas with extreme environments and extremely difficult levels that do not allow anyone to approach or visit. In Arcadia, which was originally divided into 8 continents, there were prohibitions with unique characteristics on each continent. A swamp full of poison that melts everything. A hugeke in the abyss whose end cannot be measured. A mysteriousbyrinth where you cannot find the exit once you set foot in it. Even ancient ruins of unknown origin, full of all sorts of strange magic traps. A ce like hell in reality, where monsters of enormous levels are lined up, all kinds of dangerous traps and harsh environments await. Residents living in Arcadia are notorious geumgo that tremble in fear just by mentioning them. However, now, several golden regions of the Korean continent have revealed their value by revealing the reality of what was hidden within them. e! All you tramps and slobs. This is the home of your brethren, the true home of freedom. As wanderers adventuring the vast ocean, go with us!] [Hmm... Do you carry these as equipment? Come and see what we made in our studio.] [You want to be friends with the spirits? I''m sorry, but my appearance isn''t enough for that.] The Caribbean, the free city of the ck Pirates and criminals. Sands of Forge, the underground city of the dwarves. A friend of spirits and the center of the world. The world tree and the home of the elves. Active exploration of ice bugs and monsternds that had not yet been explored once became popr among users who noticed that a huge narrative affecting the entire continent was hidden in these forbidden areas. -Don''t you think there''s something about Ice Bug and Monster Land? -It smells like something important, but... I don''t know. - ?? If you look at Caribbean or Shumil and Amil, there must be a hidden jackpot. -Who doesn''t know that? The problem is how to find it. Areas where the developer is sure to have something hidden. However, those who started with passion as they had the intention of intentionally screwing the users, eventually fell out without being able to ovee the extreme hardcore spiciness. -Wow..... The heat of Schmille is okay, but what the hell are you supposed to do with ice bugs? - Lol lol. It was so cold that I finally froze. - I can''t stand it with quite a few items, but it doesn''t seem like there''s anything in particr. -Did you really make Monster Land out of your mind? I have to do it in moderation. How many monsters are there? -Really;; The twin head ogre, a raid mob, is treated as a normal monster there haha - There is a lot of evidence that the developers haven''t made it yet. It seems that this clenched teeth prevented users froming? -The level of the monsters is too high. It''ll be resolved someday, but it''s too early for now. Two geumyeok that are widely evaluated that it is not the time yet. Monster Land and Iceberg. However, his expedition team, including Jungsik, was already moving to this ce, which was already known as an impregnable area to many users. From now on, the ce we will enter is Iceberg. I know you guys have a bad reputation. It is estimated that clues to the quest I am progressing may be hidden here. Because of CEO Jo Seo-wook''s earnest request, the entire process is broadcast live through real-time streaming. And while briefly talking about where he was heading, he began introducing yers who would start exploring with him. There are many difficulties in conducting the exploration alone, so I decided to help a few people I know personally this time. Casis, Angelina, and... Gaeko. Hello viewers. hello. nice to meet. Gaeko, Angelina, and Casis give a short greeting to the viewers who will look at them from the point of view of lunch. Along with their appearance, users who knew the destination sent an explosive response. -Ice bug...? Are you going to that crazy ce? -Wow..... Dumb son, how did you get the rted quest there? - That''s great. If it''s a quest there, isn''t it the minimum main scenario level? -Really. But is it possible to break it with just that many people? - Our power wizard is there, so maybe it''s possible...? - Lol lol. To be honest, that crazy bitch looked stronger than Casis. -But the status abnormality level there must be very high... Will the equipment be that much? People who are interested in the fact that Angelina and Casis are joining, and people who have doubts about whether it is possible to attack Ice Bug to this extent. And soon, they looked at a person standing with an extremely awkward smile, wondering if it was their first broadcast. - Gaeko is a nickname I''ve never heard of. Who are you? -I know? I''ve never even heard of it. -Hmm..... Isn''t that him? hidden hunter. -Hidden Hunter? -You know.... An explorer who excavates all sorts of hidden content by changing to a hidden ss that is a secret seeker or something. Secret Chaser Gaeko. Personally recruited by CEO Seo-wook Cho, he was a true fan of the setting since he first started ying the game. Hmm..... The first day Arcadia''s Korean service wasunched. Even in the process of breaking the tutorial quests and adapting to the game, he spent a long time in the library, immersed in a book that described the history of Arcadia in detail. [The History of Arcadia: 2] The 2 books that the dozing librarian handed over from his chest of drawers. Inside, his eyes lit up as he read the phrase that recorded the actions of Ezul, who was known as the legendary explorer. [Izul, who had a reputation as an outstanding explorer and archaeologist. After retiring, he spent the rest of his life in Edelin until thest moment, and it is said that he donated precious items he had used for a long time to the vige and hoped that all the vigers would remember him forever. ] I''m talking about the beginner''s vige. An old ce name in history books. Knowing that Adelin meant the beginner''s vige he was in, Gaeko couldn''t pass this phrase over. In that case...does that so-called memento still exist?'' Thoughts pass quickly through my head. And from then on, he started wandering all over the beginner vige and asking the vigers just in case. Ezul...? Well... I think I''ve heard of it, but I''m not sure... What? keepsake? Hmm... Where did you hear that story? Hmm... I think Grandpa Jake told me about the legendary explorer in the past. The owner of that ne? I know who it is, but until you do me a favor, there''s nothing! From searching for hundreds of NPCs based on dozens of keywords, wandering around beginner viges, and solving all sorts of misceneous quests to increase intimacy and liking. Gaeko was finally able to see the fruits of his efforts after going through all sorts of hardships in the beginner vige for more than a week. [I found a keepsake of the legendary explorer Ezul.] [I acquired the item Ancient Gloves Imbued with Magic''.] [I acquired the item Ancient Goggles to Peep into the Past''.] [Izal''s Exploration Item Acquired record journal''.] [I changed my job to the hidden ss Secret Chaser.] . . . Gaeko, who inherited Ezul''s legacy and was transferred to a hidden ss called a secret pursuer. Immediately after changing jobs, the beginner vige itself was blown away by slimes that became stronger for unknown reasons, but since then, he has been traveling all over the continent, finding all sorts of hidden content and enjoying his own adventure. This is the first time I am greeting you through an official iPlus channel broadcast. It is called Gaeko, who specializes in excavating only hidden contents. I also do exploration while epting various requests, but this is the first time that we are merging together on a different channel. I am also running a channel, so please check it out and subscribe! great! Until notification! please! -??? What is that minus? - Even the channel ads are perfect. There is no other line to hang on to. - Originally, a person who behaves like that is a bomb. -Press the light and wait for it toe. Viewers don''t seem to react well. Because it was not possible to see such a reaction in real time, Jung-sik put on a slightly embarrassed expression, but soon opened his mouth in a hurry and changed the topic again. Then...then Ill really try to enter. An area that haspletely turned into and where everything ispletely frozen based on a certain point. As soon as Joong-sik stepped into the boundary line with a nervous face, messages began to appear in front of his eyes. [You have entered Ice Bug, thend of death where an endless cold storm rages.] [Warning. This is an unexplored area without a base.] [Beware of the rapidly changing natural environment and monsters'' attacks.] With the message that they have entered the ice bug, Jung-shik enters a world full of white ice in front of him. And not long after, a powerful knife wind that seemed to cut flesh began to blow at them. Wheein. The severe cold that did not allow other users to step in. Strangely, however, only warm warmth could be felt from Jung-sik, who was wearing in work clothes. Whoops. Red aura subtly emitted from the hammer of Vulcan attached to his waist. And soon, a message popped up in front of my eyes. [The protection of fire has been activated.] [The energy of hot mes protects the yer.] Vulcanus, the god of me and steel. Is it because of the hammer that contains his divinity or because of the quest that Jung-sik is currently working on? I don''t know exactly why, but because his strength was blocking the ice bug''s cold, Jungshik was able to walk around here as well. -??? what. - It''s strange. I got frostbite and freezing right away. -Even a pdin with a lot of stamina couldntst more than 5 minutes here. -What''s your attribute resistance rank? Viewers are puzzled by the Chinese food that looks so fine. To them, Jungshik shrugged his shoulders and replied. Umm... I dont know exactly, but they say that the blessing of fire has been activated. Maybe it''s because of the quest? -Is that so...? -Somehow..... Then, the condition for entering Ice Bug is to acquire rted quests first? -I see..... But why are the other people like that? People who seem to understand something. However, they looked at the three people standing behind Jungshik withpletely different looks and asked curiously. Ugh..... It''s cold... Gaeko gritted his teeth with a pale blue face. And, unlike him, Angelina and Casis are standing indifferently with perfectly normal faces. Looking at the three of them, they asked. -The poops are like that, but why are those two like that? -I know? I think Gaeko will freeze to death in a while. -Looking at Gaeko, I don''t think it''s a buff that can be shared with party members..... Why are those two so fine? Viewers who reacted iprehensibly. Watching their reactions, Casis and Angelina said it was not a big deal at the middle-ss eyes that seemed to ask what had happened. I dont take this much damage because I have 2 ranks of ice attribute resistance. I''m... Elemental Mastery Rank 3, so it''s okay to be dizzy. -Ice attribute resistance... 2nd rank...?? -??? If you master the Elemental... that''s of such a terrible difficulty...? -That... up to the numerical rank...? - Fuck. No matter how much you win the title of the World''s Greatest Martial Arts Tournament three times, it''s absolutely impossible. -Ha haha It looks like a gura, but if you look at that fine thing again, it seems like it''s real..... It feels like selling something, but it''s an ambiguous situation to argue. However, Jung-shik, who was as surprised as these viewers, opened his eyes wide and asked Casis. How did you raise your resistance skill to that level? How did you upload it...? Casis thought for a moment about the question, then waved his fingers in the air. Then he floated a title above his head and said, It worked because I did what my master told me to do. [Dragon Lord''s disciple Casis] Chapter 302 Chapter 302 Luncheon''s Great Adventure (3) Dragon Lord Goldrian. A special NPC who is the head of the dragons, the guardians of Arcadia, and the strongest in the world. The story of Casis and Angelina, who became apprentices of a being that Arcadia would not even witness directly unless it was in danger of destruction, was enough to make viewers roll their eyes. The Hidden ss All Weapon Master, from whom Casis was a former job, turned out to be a job created by a former apprentice raised by the Dragon Lord. So I came across it by chance while clearing a job quest. Hey... is that hidden ss rted to dragons? yes. what did he say? Sometimes, there are times when I enjoy traveling around Arcadia in human form, and at that time, it is said that I take a few of my students with me to kill time. The job called All Weapon Master is said to have been created by him or something... Ah. I''ve heard of that. Those who left outstanding achievements in the history of Arcadia had a very close rtionship with dragons. Gaeko boasts a deep understanding of Arcadia''s history. He nodded his head, his eyes twinkling at Angelina''s exnation. The emperor who currently rules the Bamal Empire has a close rtionship with dragons. There is a non-legendary legend that says Behemoth, the first emperor of the northern kingdom, who was once called the ruler of the frost storm, also received the teachings of dragons in the past. Even the archmage who left behind the development of outstanding magic theory. A legendary chivalry who won single-handedly against an army. With an artist who left behind a masterpiece that robs everyone''s heart. A colossus that once dominated the wealth of the entire continent. The existence of a dragon that inevitably appears in the background of heroes who dominated an era and an entire industry. About the setting hidden in the history of Arcadia, which ordinary users don''t know much about, Gaeko talked about it for a long time with excitement like a fish in water. In other words, if you fall in love with the dragon and be a disciple, you will be able to reach the pinnacle that no one dares to face. They are not limited to magic or swordsmanship, but have tremendous abilities and skills in art-making... even stealing and fishing. Regardless of the type of job, dragons that achieve overwhelming status in any field. That''s why Gaeko looked at Casis and Angelina and said with envy. I''m so envious... I don''t know how he managed to win the favor of the Dragon Lord, but now I know how he was able to perform such a feat at the World''s Greatest Fighting Championship. Casis and Angelina, who demonstrated their overwhelming fighting power more than anyone else and smartly showed their strength to the world. Watching their y, tens of thousands of people who directly asked the gamepany if it was a bug were full of suspicious eyes looking at the two, but people responded that they understood it now after hearing Gaeko''s words. -You think it was possible to be a disciple of those lizards? - Wow..... I really envy you. Didn''t you receive character development directly from the strongest people in the world? -Have you ever received something good, like an item or skill? -So that''s why the power mage was so strong..... -No, but isn''t this the opening game bnce? - I also want to be a dragon disciple. What can I do? envy. period. jealousy. curiosity. A chat of users full of all kinds of emotions. However, watching the text pouring in so fast that he couldn''t even dare to read each one, Joong-shik shook his head as if he was tired of it. By the way... Gaeko, are you okay with the cold now? yes....? ah! yes Thanks to the equipment you lent me, I''m freed from abnormal conditions now. Gaeko couldn''t stand the harsh environment of Iceberg. It was none other than the equipment that Jung-sik lent him that allowed him to operate without difficulty in this ce where even the most resistant pdin could notst 5 minutes. [Helios'' leather armor set effect is activated.] [Ice attribute resistance is greatly increased.] [Status ailments have been canceled.] A legendary leather armor set. A legendary set item that has never appeared before. Gaeko was stunned when he first received this set item from Jung-sik, but continued to talk without showing any expression at Jung-sik''s hand signal to be quiet, perhaps conscious of the viewers watching the broadcast. thank god. It would have been a very difficult situation without Gaeko-nim''s exploration skills, but I had the exact item I needed. Jungsik talks with a wide smile as if he is really fortunate. Gaeko responded with a puzzled face as he watched his reaction so calmly, as the items were so valuable that he was worried about what he would do if he ate halfway and ran away. Thats right..... Gaeko is a little confused as to whether he has no desire for money or has the confidence not to be eaten away. However, he soon stopped walking with a stiff face as if he had found something. Woo woo woo. His magic gloves glow with a strange vibrating sound. Gaeko immediately said with a serious expression to the unusual reaction, as if announcing that there was something here. wait a minute. I think I found something here. Gaeko stopped in her seat and started putting on her goggles. Then, he took a deep breath and activated Ezul''s vision skill, which was like his own food line. Search for Forgotten Secrets A special skill for hidden ss secret seekers. In line with the effect of the ancient goggles that peep into the past, which are Ezul''s keepsakes, Gaeko''s eyes began to see something that had not been seen before. [Tracking the traces of secrets hidden in the surrounding area.] [Tracking seeded. We will temporarily guide you to the ce that leads to the discovered clue.] In the middle of a snowy field where you can''t even see an inch ahead due to a tremendous snowstorm. There, Gaeko suddenly took out various excavation tools and started digging somewhere, and soon after a long time, he obtained something. [Obtained the artifact Trace of the Unquenchable me''.] [Discovered a huge unrecorded secret.] [Skill proficiency greatly increases.] [Historical great discovery. Relics of the lost mythic age have been obtained.] [Ice bug covered with ice. The secret hidden here has been confirmed.] [Clue obtained. Additional clues will be provided.] . . . Wow..... A huge reward never experienced before. Angelina asked with curious eyes toward Gaeko, who was standing with a nk face filled with messages in front of her eyes. What is it? Ah... this is an artifact item that explorers can acquire through excavation... It usually serves as a clue or key to hidden quests or content. Or take it to the Explorers Guild and get rewarded with gold or contributions. An artifact item that can only be obtained with the explorer''s excavation skill. Looking at the red mes trapped in the transparent block of ice, Angelina muttered with interest in her eyes. In the ice... are there sparks? Yes..... Its name is also said to be a trace of an unquenchable me. I think we came to the right ce. Vulcanus, the god of fire and steel. and the remains of a me buried in an ice bug. Just by looking at these two things, Gaeko was convinced that the historical site Jung-shik was looking for was buried right here in the ice bug. Since weve also obtained the next clue, lets move on. I dont think we can find the ruins more easily than we thought. Gaeko acquired tremendous skill proficiency and experience points even after finding only one clue. The fact that the value of this exploration is far more enormous than he imagined, he started to run to somewhere faster with more excitement than lunch. How long has it been? However, he couldn''t help but be frustrated when he saw the line of red light crossing the huge gorge in the distance, and the huge number of monsters swarming in the gorge. Oh... its ruined. Why are you like that? There seems to be a clue in that canyon... There are monsters that are too strong for us to deal with in groups. An ice bug where terrifying monsters of at least level 300 appear. This ce, where the developer''s selfishness to intentionally prank the users was revealed, was filled with monsters with characteristics and abilities that were difficult to deal with one by one. [Lv. 295 Ice Yeti] [Lv. 300 Frost Ghost] [Lv. 310 Alder Banshee] [Lv. 320 Frost Spirit] [Lv. 325 Unmelting Golem] For users who are still ying at level 200, it is difficult to deal with one. Monsters with abilities that are too much to bear. That''s why the viewers who were watching their lineup showed a reaction that was absurd. -No, what the hell is this ce, so the level is like this? -This is enough for one ice yeti to deal with a sword master hahahaha -hahaha Alder Banshee Isn''t that the original undead of the highest order? I know it as a boss level monster. -The boss monster outside is a regr monster here haha The driveway to the canyon gives the impression that something is hidden. However, because there were a lot of enormous obstaclesid out in front of it, Gaeko could not bear to enter hastily even knowing it, so Gaeko nced at the people standing behind him and asked cautiously. What should I do....? Maybe it would be better to find a detour, right? Um... is there a detour? yes. I''m not sure, but there''s probably a way if you attack over the canyon instead of that ramp. A huge canyon on either side of the driveway. I suggested going up the steep gorge for hundreds of meters and avoiding the monsters, but Gaeko soon said with a dark expression. Actually, it is not the way I would rmend. The clues I see indicate the fastest and most urate route. It will probably be an incredibly difficult journey if we go back, but in the current situation, there is no way... It is virtually impossible to attack the monsters lined up in front of you. That''s why Gaeko was determined to climb the canyon, knowing that it would be more difficult, but Angelina and Casis had different ideas. Why should I? yes....? Why do you insist on taking an uncertain road with the fastest road in front of you? That''s it... because it''s impossible to pierce that monster... yo? Gaeko answers with a puzzled expression to Casis'' question, asking something so obvious. However, at his reply, Casis began to smile strangely from the cold face that was always expressionless. Around how many do you think Angelina can deal with at once? Hmm... I guess Ill have to fight to find out, but... I shouldnt get hit even once, right? Perhaps. It''s the same for your level, and if you get hit, you may get a freezing-rted condition, so you should avoid dangerous situations as much as possible. When asked if it would be okay if he got hit even once, Casis nodded and replied that he probably would. At his words, Angelina took a serious look at the monsters in the gorge and answered immediately. Four. Any more than that would be difficult. Four of them... that should be enough. Casis muttered to herself at her words and smiled with a deep smile. Then he exchanged nces with Angelina, then slowly walked towards the canyon and said: Its dangerous, so stay away. Oh, really... it started again. Angelina follows Casis, shaking her head, saying that she can''t live. Gaeko and Jung-sik looked at the two of them as they headed toward the canyon with stupid faces. ...? ...? A word that came out of the wrong idea of a user who came out unintentionally at the time of the slime incident in the past. [No, if you die in one shot anyway, avoid it and shook! Avoid and shuk! Can''t you just evade?] Theoretically possible, but absolutely impossible to implement in reality, a no-hit raid. However, what was considered impossible has now been realized by two people. Titled 320 vs 2''. The famous scene that is talked about as the best battle video in Arcadia''s history was selected. Chapter 303 Chapter 303 Luncheon''s Big Adventure (4) Real-time action RPG game Icarus. There was one mode in this game where you can enjoy thrilling battles by using dozens of hundreds of weapons in a variety of ways and using extreme link attacks to defeat countless enemies. [Reality Mode] One coin mode where the character''s life is limited to only one, just like in reality. In addition, since the character''s life force is set to 1, saying that it emphasizes reality, even a single attack from a rubbish mob crawling on the street destroys a feature and a character dies from a single flying debris. It made it even more hardcore. -No, one life would be the same, but isn''t having 1 HP over the line? -Really;; And the monsters have the same HP. You and I make one room, too. -I need a bamboo spear..... I need a bamboo spear... -Does a human being who can break this exist in the world? The highest level of difficulty known to be impossible to clear. However, ording to the official announcement from the developer of Icarus, it was known that only two people in the world had cleared this difficulty. [We actually made this mode half yful and half fun. It wasn''t made to be broken in the first ce, and in fact, I didn''t even expect that there would be anyone who could clear this mode... As expected, yers are beyond our imagination. The entire development team pays sincere respect to the two people who cleared this heinous mode.] The identities of the two people who cleared it were not revealed, but users could find out who the main characters were without asking. -You broke the reality mode...? really....? -If it''s just two people, it''s worth it..... It''s a wall that can''t be crossed for nothing? - You can find out by meeting them in PvP mode. These two are just fighting machines. Extreme control to take down enemies without getting hit. In the exquisite and strange psychological warfare, the ability of those who repeat parrying defense and counterattack made viewers have no choice but to admire. Kie eh eh eh eh. Kyaaaaaaa. Ice yetis with hideous and terrifying appearances that give off a sense of intimidation just by looking at them. Despite the attacks from those who seemed to sh Casis'' body in half with ws sharper than des, he moved his body without the slightest hesitation. Wow. The yeti''s attack got out of the way by a piece of paper. The ws aimed at Casis'' head made a huge roar as they made a huge hole in the poor ice floor, but a cool cutting sound followed soon after. squeak. The thick ice yeti''s legs supported a body three times the size of an adult man. Casis'' sword, which cut off one of his feet in an invisible moment, began to dance among the ice yetis around him, and soon the pure white ice field began to be stained with red blood. Kyaaaaaaagh! Kie kieh! Where are the arrogant cries of predators? The ice canyon is full of screams of pain and fear. However, Casis'' sword continued to move without a moment''s rest and began to cut through everything that was alive. Weapon Conversion. squeak. Weapon Conversion. Kaaang. Weapon Conversion. charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Cut through the enemy''s flesh in the form of a sword. Blocking enemy attacks in the form of a shield. Blocking the enemy''s movement in the form of a chain. Casis'' weapon that can be freely transformed into any weapon type. Gaeko, Jungsik, and the viewers who were watching this scene all opened their mouths as if they had promised, as they freely switched between attack and defense, arranging monsters with overwhelming stats and levels one by one. -Wow..... Mr...... Is that possible...? -Avoiding that now? No, 4 attacks at the same time, how do you parry them all? -In the meantime, avoid two ranged attacks. No, is it true that you use the ice yeti as a shield? -How much calction goes into each move and each attack? -No, more than that, what kind of weapons do you use all of them freely like that? how many are there? The all-weapon master''s secret technique, the king of all diseases. Casis, who is fighting to the extreme using this skill that can freely handle all weapons in the world, is clearly dealing with enemies beyond his level, but strangely, it is not difficult at all. Quaang. Even in a situation where an enormous attack is pouring in that even a single shot can cause a fatal injury. Wheein. Even in the blizzards of bitter cold and the huge chunks of ice flying in between them. He thought even in the tense and tense moments when not even a single breath could rest. fun.'' The feeling I felt when I first encountered and yed Icarus in the past. That feeling I always felt when attacking the reality mode, which was considered impregnable, and whenever I met and challenged an enemy that Dexra could never ovee. Casis listened to the beating of his heart and enjoyed the moment in this difficult situation in which he challenged the extreme limit that was so difficult that anyone would give up considering it impossible. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee All Weapon Master''s ultimate skill. [Infinity Weapon.] Hundreds...thousands of weapons created by the intangible mana emanating from Casis'' body. The weapons, each containing powerful mana, floated behind Casis with a menacing force, and soon began to move to annihte the enemies following his gestures. good. charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Kiaaaaaagh! Keeeeeeeeeeeee! Waves of weapons splitting flesh, breaking bones, and crushing muscles. The monsters fiercely resisted the attacks of these weapons, but their counterattacks were meaningless because the wielders did not exist for the weapons made of intangible mana. - Wow..... It''s really cool. -Is this the winning sword...? -It''s a dog scam, really hahahahahahaha I feel like I''m looking at the sword that only the best masters of Moorim can realize. Casis is walking steadily through the river of blood that dyes the fluttering white snowfield red. After single-handedly defeating hundreds of monsters, he stood tall with a sword in one hand, leaving behind hundreds of weapons made of mana. With that nonchnt and calm face that always makes it hard to guess what he''s thinking. A very dreamy and beautiful sight. Viewers who watched such overwhelming force of Casis from beginning to end eximed involuntarily. -Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!! Brother Casis!!! -?? When did you say Casis is your brother? -Wow..... Even a man would really fall in love with it. clearing. -Ha..... No, why do I suddenly feel embarrassed? Can I really y like that? - Ha ha ha Wake up from your dreams. If you meet an ice yeti, you''re half dead in one shot. -??? What are you, are you suddenly a fact assault? Casis showed overwhelming control that everyone had to admit. He had formed an enormous fan base without even realizing it, but whether he knew it or not, Casis was just focusing on the sound of his heart beating like crazy. Yeah... this was it.'' The reason why he once enjoyed Icarus like crazy. And the reason why I was able to win the favor of the Dragon Lord Goldrian and be his apprentice. One''s own propensity to push one''s limits to the limit and eventually ovee and grow. Walking down the path as an ascetic, Casis clenched his fists, feeling proud and satisfied with the feeling of oveing another wall. Someday... I will definitely win... A huge wall he has yet to ovee. The time when you are making your own determination in the promise that you will definitely ovee it someday. A high-pitched voice began to be heard from far away. hey! This is a damn cub! When you''ve done everything, help me quickly! Kwaaang. Wow. Quaaaaaa! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Angelina is having a hard time dealing with Alder Banshee and Ice Yetis that she has not yet dealt with. Seeing her caught up in the midst of five monsters, rushing her magic and hitting their earthenware pot with a nasty steel bar, anyone could see that she was in a hurry. - Ha ha ha ha ha That crazy bitch is really not a wizard no matter how you look at it. -Magic! Warrior! Angelina! Magic! Warrior! Angelina! - It''s a character that goes beyondmon sense. How can a wizard be so powerful? -Hahahaha This is the first time I''ve ever seen an ice yeti who gets hit on the head by a wizard and bursts bloody noses. -Wow..... But he really fights well. Isn''t it almost the same as Casis? -Kiaaaaang!!! Angelina Unya! Absolute hot pot crush!!! Angelina gritted her teeth and wielded a blunt weapon in both hands to beat the ice yeti''s weak point, the head. She has apletely different personality from Casis. Because of her safety-oriented personality, who does not enjoy this urgent moment of life and death, she felt a tremendous threat from the monsters attacking her and attacked without mercy in her hands. die! die! die! You damn bastards! Pow pow pow pow pow pow. The ice yeti''s head seemed to copse a little with each blow. It was an ice yeti who fell into a state of fainting after being hit intensively by dozens, but Angelina''s mad attacks did not stop. Pow pow pow pow pow pow. In her merciless hands, full of will to get rid of it before she wakes up from fainting. Viewers watched without filtering the process in which the yeti''s face, which was full of white fur, was stained with bright red blood with Angelina''s iron bar and a staff made of solid dead trees. They were shocked to see her covered in blood. -Wow..... See how he beats until he''s lost without any mercy. I''m afraid of dogs . -It''s the first time I''ve lived and felt sorry for a monster ..... - Ha ha ha ha He is a really crazy Korean magician. Apart from fighting well, mad persistence and violence. Unlike the elegant Casis battle, which even felt beautiful, Angelina''s unrefined, rough battle gave the same feeling as that of a savage warrior. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Angelina took a deep breath after safely handling all the monsters with the help of Casis. Seeing the two of them like that, Gaeko looked genuinely astonished. This crazy.....'' Gaeko has been exploring various hidden dungeons, solving hidden quests, working with countless rankers and aces ofrge guilds, and watching their battles from the sidelines. Therefore, he was able to grasp the level of these two based on his own experience. At least the ck me Dragon of Darkness... No, it''s to the point that even if all the top rankers rushed at it, they couldn''t win.'' An absolute strong man who would not dare to find aparison target. It''s not a joke, Gaeko swallowed his saliva without realizing it at the overwhelming force that seemed to be able to deal with a single corps alone. If I turn them into enemies...?'' I''m a dumbass. Angelina. Casis. Seeing the three of them together, Gaeko unknowingly touched the legendary set item he borrowed for a while and was startled. If I did that, I would have been in big trouble... Wait a minute. Gaeko imagined what would happen if he ate Helios'' leather armor set and ran away. At this moment, he was relieved and relieved, praising his conscience that hadn''t been tainted from the bottom of his heart. In praise of himself for notmitting nonsense in front of users who should never be turned into enemies. Chapter 304 Chapter 304 Luncheon''s Big Adventure (5) The daily life of the official channel destroyer of Iplus Co., Ltd. Exploration of ice bugs, one of the five forbidden areas, started with the request of the cksmith of me, Nayatongson. The video, which is aired in real-time without adding or subtracting anything, attracts viewers with an enormous sense of immersion and has reached an incredible number of real-time viewers. How are things now? CEO Cho Seo-wook asks with a young expression full of tension and anticipation. In response to his question, one of the employees who was managing the chat window shouted with excitement. Reached 500 million real-time viewers. It''s the biggest record since Dex''s video. 500 million live viewers. Even though Arcadia is enjoyed by most of the world''s poption, it was an extremely unusual situation for such arge number of people to watch the broadcast in real time. Wow! Amazing, Great! Wow..... The real Dex didn''t even appear, but this record ising out. The bosss insight is also great. How did you foresee this situation? I''m a dumbass. Angelina. Casis. One day, CEO Seo-wook Jo suddenly said that he recruited these three people and suddenly spent billions ofpany funds as their down payment. However, there was actually a lot of bacsh inside Iplus Co., Ltd. for his decision made without anymunication. No, even though Destroyers daily life is the number one channel... isnt that overdoing it? I see... Its true that all three of them are unique and interesting characters, but investing with the fate of the entirepany at stake is a bit... Why on earth are you signing such unfavorable contracts? What are you going to do if you eat and go to sleep after that... More than that... are those three people the right personalities for the show? I was worried because he seemed so reticent, timid, and aggressive... Their personalities are literally running at opposite extremes. Talents who show appropriate showmanship but have not yet been verified for their artistic directing and acting skills suitable for broadcasting. That''s why there were a lot of employees who gave these three people a distrustful look. But... Once the broadcast of these three people together began, the controversy quickly ended. I got a call from MTC, the president of thepany. An employee holding onto the receiver and calling CEO Seo-wook Cho with a startled face. Hearing the employee''s cry, he asked what was going on. what''s the matter? For what? That''s.... Can you send the video you''re streaming right now to them live? What...? No, not a game broadcaster, why a terrestrial broadcaster? Game broadcasters sometimes request live broadcasts ofrge guild raids or sieges in real time. Because of Arcadia''s soaring poprity, even the main terrestrial broadcasters were discussing whether to make a game-rted program or not, but there was no precedent for requesting a real-time transmission in this way, so Seo-wook Cho asked with a surprised face. CEO! KSB asked for an interview with the three... Foreign media. Arge broadcastingpany in North America requested a live broadcast... President Dae, I think you should answer the phone. Wait a minute. Who are you? The sound of the phone pouring like crazy. Receiving love calls from all over the world who watched the journey of the three people, CEO Seo-wook Cho and other employees of iPlus Co., Ltd. celebrated the birth of the three superstars and let out a shout of joy. * * * A canyon teeming with hundreds of high-ranking monsters. The expedition team of Chinese food passed through this canyon, which has now be a cold gray corpse. Gaeko, who took the lead while closely examining the inside of the gorge, soon ran into a dead-end ice wall and was taken aback. Eh....? It can''t be like this...? An ice canyonpletely blocked off. It was clear that there was nowhere else to go, given that all directions except the way they entered were made of huge walls of ice hundreds of meters high. Hey... everything is blocked. Is it really right to go here? The monsters were dealt with with difficulty, but only a dead end wall was facing them. That''s why Angelina, who was very sensitive, asked in a sharp voice. Is that so...? This is true for me too... Wearing goggles and activating the skill again, the light of a clue shone in front of his eyes. Gaeko, who was taken aback by this for a while, soon stood close to the huge ice wall blocking his way and began to slowly look around. uh....? Ice cliffs of colossal size. Gaeko, who looked up and carefully looked around, found something sparkling 3m high, hurriedly took out some tools and started climbing the ice. ...? Three people looking at him with curious eyes. However, Gaeko did not pay attention to these people''s eyes and began to examine something he had discovered. [Mythic feat. I found the entrance of the forgotten temple.] [Ice umted for eons of time is blocking the entrance.] [ It looks like you need a special key to unlock the seal.] [Obtain a clue. Additional clues will be provided.] [I have found traces of an unknown god.] [If you report this to the Explorers Guild, the entire continent will be astonished at your discovery.] . . . Messages pouring like mad with the words of a mythical achievement. Looking at the messages, he was relieved that the path he had guided was not wrong, but Gaeko soon took a look at the holes engraved in the intaglio in front of his eyes and soon put on a dark expression. As expected... the quest can''t end this easily... Gaeko came down again with a look of disappointment. Jung-sik, who had been watching him quietly, asked cautiously. Uh... what happened? Haa... First of all, this is the right ce. It''s hard to see from here... There''s a cavernous doorway up there. A gray cave visible through a transparent ice wall. After checking the ck entrance, Gaeko said to Jung-sik in a firm tone, as if this must be the ce. Perhaps the site you are looking for is probably right here. But... the problem is that the entrance is sealed. Sealed...? Yes..... The presence of seals and keys that you will inevitably encounter while exploring hidden ruins. Gaeko began to exin the current situation in as much detail as possible. There is a hole dug with an intaglio at the point where it was sealed. I need to insert something in the form of a crystal... No matter how I look at it, I think this is the key I first excavated. Artifact Traces of the Unquenchable me''. A red me burning fiercely while trapped in ice. Gaeko murmured with a puzzled face as he looked at the ice sculpture, which was filled with mysterious powers that were absolutely impossible in reality. First of all... we need to find two more artifacts simr to this one. It would be fortunate if they were all here in the Iceberg area, but if someone has already found the artifact or is in a ce where it is impossible to obtain it at all... yes that''s right. Arcadia, a virtual reality that boasts a size asrge as the Earth. It is not a simple journey, but a tremendous exploration that awakens the seal of the ruins where the mythical beings are sleeping. No matter how much he thought about it, the process of finding that key couldn''t be that smooth, so Gaeko told the three with a puzzled face. I would like to help if possible, but... if dozens or hundreds of linked quests go beyond Ice Bug, I think it will be a bit difficult to continue participating in this exploration... Personally, to the end Exploration you want to do together. However, Gaeko knew very well what was going to happen because he knew that the whole process was being broadcast in real time to users all over the world through broadcasting. I can''t get involved in something that''s going to be muddy.'' Most of the information about this secret site has already been exposed. Usually in this situation, it was the standard to finish the exploration of the ruins quickly and make sure no one could raise a spoon, but what would happen if the exploration was twisted in the middle like this was so nasty and dirty. -It''s too much to eat. -Thanks to that, we eat the ruins with a bag. sorry. And thank you. - These damn bastards? From now on, your guild will be an infinite ughter. -Haha Is it possible to do that? In order to monopolize the reward alone, they stab each other without hesitation, and in the middle, there are idiots who only take the reward as fishermen, and it is a truly shitty five-minute situation. It''s nothing else, it''s rted to a mythical historic site, so it was obvious without looking at Gaeko what exactly those watching this video would be thinking. -oh? Mythical ruins in Iceberg? -Did you say there are 3 keys...? Hire explorers and go right into the exploration bar. -It''s impossible to take the key from them..... Can we negotiate? -Yeah~ If I can''t eat it, you can''t eat it either~ This ce is sure to attract people who struggle to re-sprinkle the finished rice, as well as those who want to put a spoon on it. Even though Ice Bug is a forbidden zone in a harsh environment that normal users cannot ess, indomitable users who will somehow find a way if they have such a special goal. That''s why Gaeko said to Jungshik with a very sad expression. That''s why I advised not to proceed with streaming if possible. If it is impossible to clear immediately, it is certain that they will run here and there looking for rewards. The direction of exploration is unpredictable. Just as Jungshik''s expression was about to darken at Gaeko''s words, Angelina''s annoyed voice burst out. what? Should I go back the way I came and go look for other clues? Are you kidding me? Angelina sighs with an angry look on her face. Soon after, she started pounding the ice wall with a grim face. No, I heard there is an entrance in that ice wall. Then you can''t just break it down and go in. You''re asking me to wander the damn ice field again to find some key? Angelina doesn''t want to continue this troublesome exploration any longer. The iron bar, full of her will, was pounding the ice with a roaring sound, but the huge ice wall remained unscathed. It wont break like that. It''s not just ice, it''s a seal. A message that the ice umted over eons of time is blocking it. It was an inadvertent remark because the message window clearly defined this as a seal, but as if something had hurt her pride at Gaeko''s words, Angelina stood up and approached him with a cold expression. You really think so? Yes... Yes...? Angelina approached the distance that was too burdensome and asked in a cold voice right in front of her nose. She asked him again with a puzzled look on his face. Do you really think I cant break that damn ice? That''s that... Gaeko mumbled, not knowing what to answer her question. However, Angelina didn''t say anything at his lingering response, turned around and started holding the old tree staff high into the sky. Fire bolt. Roaring. Circle 1 magic fire bolt. Firebolt, her dog that is different from other ordinary wizards. Her fire bolt, which had both tremendous destructive power and firepower, began to increase in size like crazy due to repeated magic casting that never stopped. Firebolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. Fire bolt. Fire bolt... The casting of Fire Bolt continued without a break. And in the process, the fire bolts she cast began to change their shape over and over again. From a bright red me to a deep blue me that seems to burn everything. From the size of a fist to something gigantic of indescribable size. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Gaeko, who witnessed it with both eyes, groaned involuntarily. The strongest and worst wizard in the universe holding a wooden staff. A 1st-circle archmage and a crazy Korean magician who beats until death. A special fire bolt created by Angelina. Looking at the artificial sun. Chapter 305 Chapter 305 Even the creator is having a hard time with this Moonlight Mage Angelina. She was once a young and sensitive college student who was innocent and tender. It was because of a meeting that came by a very coincidental opportunity that Angelina, who was like a natural girl, turned into a tough personality like a warlike fighter. [I''m your fairy godfather.] [Take me around and teach me from now on.] Dex provided an unheard-of item that was said to be the only grade, and connected it with Casis, a vicious and dull training machine-like instructor and teacher. A benefactor who saved Ste from trying to steal her hidden ss. Dex. However, what happened as a result turned Angelina into apletely new personality with no trace of her past. Koo Goo Goo Goo. I can''t believe this..... This is unbelievable..... A huge sphere of blue mes that felt tremendous heat. Viewers, like Gaeko, were stunned when they saw it overflowing with a size that was too burdensome to be called a fire bolt. -??? What the hell is that? -Won Ki-ok...? No, wait a minute. is that really possible? -How many fire bolts are stacked? I counted in the middle and gave up. -The level of this Dung Mang game is really hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha -???: Unlimited freedom! Infinite Possibilities! I don''t know? Oh I don''t know either! don''t change it! go back! [That won''t break it. It''s not just ice, it''s a seal.] Gaeko says with a confident face that he can''t do anything about it. Unknowingly hurt by his words, Angelina, who had overextended her strength, gasped for breath with a tired look on her face. Haa..... Why am I like this these days?'' If it was like before, even if she was in a bad mood, Angelina would not have been able to say anything right in front of her. She red at one person with an annoyed look at the fact that she couldn''t hold back the anger boiling in her heart, even though she was aware that behaviors that werepletely different from her original personality had often popped up recently. No matter how much I think about it, it''s because of that bastard..... That bastard who looks like a damn wooden doll.'' Even when he aplished a colossal feat, with everyone looking at him in astonishment. Even at that thrilling moment when the prickly dragon lord praised himself as a surprise. A man with a very indifferent expression even though he made this ignorant size fire bolt. Casis. Seeing him like that, feeling an indescribable and profound feeling, Angelina looked at the fire bolt, which began to radiate powerful magic that seemed to explode at any moment. And then, with grim eyes filled with annoyance, he nced at Gaeko, who had a shocked look on his face, and said. Look carefully.... I can''t break that goddamn block of ice. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. A gigantic orb that roared with an extremely ominous roar and flew over blue mes. However, it soon began to shrink in an instant ording to the operation of Angelina''s powerful magic. 10,000 fire bolts,pressed and condensed to the maximum, from the size of a house to the level of normal fire bolts. The moment when the pressure reached its peak due to the condensation of enormous magical power. Angelina released the pressure of that gigantic magical power with a single point. Firebolt. Beam Buster. Gee ying. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. A blueser from a fist-sized fire bolt. Transformed into a beam with powerful heat beyond the mes, the firebolt was precisely lodged in the ice barrier blocking the mysterious doorway. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. A scene where a powerful storm rushes in with tremendous heat and seems to lose its bnce and fly away. When Angelina''s fire bolts, who dare not call it Circle 1, began to encroach on the ice canyon of the Ice Bug, which had been frozen for eons, strange phenomena that had never happened before began to ur. - What is it? -That... it melts, right? -Wow... is it true? Are those ices melting? -Isn''t it abnormal that it doesn''t melt with such insane firepower? Powerful super-heat energy that pushes away even the severe cold that freezes everything. The huge ice barrier, which seemed to never melt, slowly and then violently vomited the water into Angelina''s fire bolts that continued to pour, and soon small cracks began to form. damn h h. A small hole at the bottom of the ice cliff. However, the cracks that spread out of control from the hole soon began to spread throughout the canyon and soon began to copse with a huge roar. Koo Goo Goo. Aaaaaaaaang. Scenes of disasters where you can taste the wrath of Mother Nature. The massive ice canyon, formed by the snow that had been slowly umted over an uncountable long period of time, copsed horribly was a spectacle that made the viewer''s heart feel magnificent from a distance. Of course, the problem is..... It was a situation like a thunderbolt in the dry sky to Gaeko in the copsed scene. Quaaaaaa! Save people! Huge chunks of ice and piles of snow pouring down from all sides. Gaeko thought to herself as she avoided the fragments of the fierce spirit that seemed like instant death the moment they were identally crushed. That crazy bitch! Are you saying you''re going to break the seal and then copse the entire canyon?'' Gaeko wants to scream loudly and curse. But at that time when he is making a desperate expression in the waves of ice and snow that cover the surroundings in pure white and rushes toward him. He suddenly felt a hand pulling him. Aaaaaaaaa! Casis pulls at his waist with violent and rough force. Gaeko, who had been screaming as he watched with his own two eyes as the huge waves of snow and ice rushing in to devour everything, was soon spread out on the damp stone floor without even realizing it. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Gaeko is lying down and staring at the ceiling, breathing heavily, with an expression that he cant tell if this is a dream or real life. However, soon he was able to realize that he had entered the area of the sealed temple through the messages that popped up before his eyes. [You have entered the Forgotten Temple.] [This is a site that has not been explored.] [Proceed with exploration to find out more information.] Hahaha..... haha..... The fact that he lived without dying Oh, and Gaeko, who isughing like a person who has been stunned with an absurd expression at the fact that he has sessfully entered this mythical historic site. Behind him, Angelina and Casis were arguing loudly. ah! First of all, I just want everyone toe in alive and not die! It was an incredibly risky and hasty move. If we had not entered the site, the doorway would have been broken and we would never have been able to find it again. Did you know I would end up like this? It''s all because that ice cliff is weak! Viewers who were listening to the conversation between the two over lunch. They all showed simr reactions. -The ice cliff is... weak...? -???: Stop..... kill me..... -Ok lol. It was the best bullshit I''ve heard this year. -yes? What are you weak at? You don''t think your fire bolt is too strong..... - No, but you''re going to keep insisting that it''s a fire bolt? Where do you look, is that a fire bolt? Angelina''s special fire bolt, which showed power close to that of the 8th circle magic, which is considered a catastrophic level of magic. A lot of people questioned this, but they couldn''t discuss it in depth anymore because of the strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared in Jungshik. Woo woo woo. Roaring. A Chinese-style hammer that suddenly emits a strong resonant sound and catches fire on its own. Holding the hammer of Vulcan, which emits bright red mes and strongly reveals its presence, Jung-sik looked at the road of the cave that stretched somewhere with serious eyes and said, swallowing saliva. First of all... but it looks like we arrived at the destination we were looking for. Shall we continue our exploration? The hammer of Vulcanus, which shows an intense reaction that has never been shown before. Jung-shik, confident that this was the destination he was looking for, began to walk slowly with his party. fire and steel. And the god of cksmithing. Now, having lost all divinity and prestige, an existence that has be just a vanity and wandering in the flow of time in emptiness and emptiness. Towards the ruins where thest traces of Vulcanus remain. * * * Jack, the creator of Arcadia, a virtual reality, and the chief manager and developer who oversees everything. He was sincerely taken aback by the sudden situation and pondered over and over again. [Ummm..... This is troublesome..... They say they broke the seal like this...?] The yer who owns the sacred weapon of Vulcan, I''m an asshole. ording to his crazy growth rate, the activity of Vulcanus was detected, and the quest to find the hidden temple of Vulcanus urred ordingly was all within his expectations. But... [Fire bolt. Beam Buster.] Originally blocked by the obstacle of the ice seal, he must have wandered all over the continent for at least a year solving dozens of hundreds of quests to collect the key. However, at Angelina''s atrocities (?) of smashing the catfish through the tough obstacle in an extraordinary way, even Jack continued tough out loud as if he was being ridiculous. [No, even so, that is too much. Did I make that possible?] Arcadia, a world built based on one''s own imagination. All the settings that exist in Arcadia are made up of things he imagined and created himself, so Jack asked as if he was so ridiculous as he saw Angelina using insane magic that he had no memory of making. [This is impossible for a normal yer, but it is not impossible if you apply the various conditions that the yer has.] Meanwhile, Alice disys detailed y information of Angelina. Jack carefully examined each of the materials she had floated to him, then muttered in disbelief. [Is this a situation that makes sense..... So, the effect of the unique set item that user is equipped with, the legendary passive skill acquired through the Dragon Lord, and the characteristics of the moonlight mage job are all Is it the result ofbining?] [That''s right. If the Set of Poverty'' effect, the Multiple Magic Stack'' skill, and the job skill Embrace All Things'' work inbination, it is not impossible to stack magic like that.] It shows deceptive performance only in 1 circle A set item of poverty that gives. A legendary passive skill called multi-magic stacking handed down directly from the Dragon Lord. In addition, the Moonlight Mage''s special skill and the characteristic that extremely lowers magic counter-sticity werebined together to create a scene of bnce destruction. Coincidence oveps coincidence, inevitable. And the fate-like situation created by coincidence again ovepped with that inevitability. As a result, Jack looked down at the scene that was taking ce in Arcadia with a really embarrassed face while watching the atrocities of the ignorant self-proimed'' 1st Circle Archmage. [This... Zenica will make a fuss again...] [We will switch to focused analysis mode on the matter. The creation of an additional main scenario has been detected with a high probability.] The Age of Lost Myths. Jackughed as he watched the insane Four Musketeers'' entricity, which was already trying to unravel this cataclysmic rice cake that was hiding a huge secret about this world that wouldpletely change the game of Arcadia. [Hahaha.....] Jack was always happy and amused watching the yers ying the game in the world he created. But at this moment, for the first time, he felt like he could understand President Lee Mi-yeon''s feelings. Looking down at those damned idents that are driving things to an uncontroble level and beyond control. Chapter 306 Chapter 306 The Hidden Legend (1) Iceberg, and of severe cold that no one dares set foot on. Stepping into the temple of Vulcanus, which was hidden deep in this forbidden realm, Gaeko looked around the interior of the temple, which was so quiet, and made a questioning expression. Its strange... Usually, historical sites arent like this... Gaeko, wearing goggles, is constantly looking around here and there. As he walked into the deep interior of the temple, using the red-hot hammer as a torch, he clearly sensed that something was different. Did you find anything strange? No..... Even hidden ruins are usually full ofplex puzzles and traps. If there is no such thing, it is usually full of monsters of all kinds. But... it''s strangely so quiet here. There are many elements that are full of the developers'' will to make sure that only rewards are not swallowed in secret ruins. The interior of this temple, which seemed to have no such obstacles that would be encountered unconditionally during exploration, was literally empty to the extent that it felt empty. How can you... do you want it to be full of monsters? Angelina is sarcastic with cold eyes at Gaeko''s muttering that seems to be regretting something. Gaeko was taken aback by her words and corrected her words. No... it''s not like that, I just meant it to be a little peculiar. Gaeko hurriedly waved his hand and denied it as if he never meant that. Then he swallowed his saliva with a slightly nervous face and said while looking at the meaningful pictures and letters carved on the walls of the temple. I don''t know everything about the history of Arcadia...but the characters written here are things I''ve never found anywhere I''ve looked. Gaeko, a secret seeker who inherited the legacy of the legendary explorer Ezul. He could freely read ancient letters and records that had already copsed and disappeared thousands of years ago that ordinary explorers could not interpret, but strangely, he could not read any of the records written in this temple properly. [] [Failed to decipher the document.] [Identified an ancient text that has never been recorded.] [Report the rted matter to the Explorers Guild to obtain a reward.] [Applicable Characters are recorded in the Exploration Journal.] Hundreds ofnguages and characters listed in Ezul''s Exploration Journal. He was able to decipher most of the letters in the ancient ruins through the calibration of the system, but he couldn''t help but be embarrassed by the appearance of apletely new letter whose roots could not even be measured. And bizarre murals painted with iprehensible characters. blood and death. And Gaeko trembled slightly from unknown anxiety as she saw the scenes of grotesque and terrible scenes that seemed to be depicted in a ck magician''s secretboratory, depicting scenes of massacre. This... is really the right ce, right?'' A ruin with an atmosphere that would not be strange even if it was a ce where the demon king was sealed. Gaeko was worried that he might get into a big problem, but soon he opened his mouth at the scene unfolding in front of him. This is...? The inside of the temple spread out after a long dark passage. Inside, there was a space of such enormous size that it was hard to believe that they were in a cave inside an ice cliff. A gigantic furnace that dare not measure its size, and a statue of a gigantic being in the shape of a goat ced in front of it. Seeing this, Jungshik smiled brightly and started running quickly. Finally... Vulcanus, who had been keeping an eye on himself ever since he became a ve to mine iron ore while being caught up in a fraudulent contract with Baron Mikhail in the Pagon Mine. Looking at his statue, which remained as it was when he first encountered it when he was granted the divine power, Jung-shik raised his hammer, which was burning fiercely, toward the statue with an expression of emotion. Whoops. Vulcan''s hammer began to resonate furiously. And at the same time, a message appeared in front of Jungsik''s eyes. [The ruins with traces of Vulcan have been discovered.] [The revival of the erased divinity has beenpleted.] [ The divinity of Vulcan responds to its divine power.] [The deity of Vulcan awakens from a long slumber.] Complete the quest. The statue of Vulcanus started to glow red at the same time as the message that it waspleted. And soon it was engulfed in a huge me, burning fiercely, and soon began to move. [I finally found this ce... It''s my first hammer.] Vulcanus seemed overjoyed. He seemed so happy that his choice was not wrong. [I''ve known you since the first time I found you. That tenacity and indomitable will that does not give up. And a hot love and passion for steel and fire. That you are the only one who will bring my divinity back to thisnd!] Rurrrrr. Vulcanus shouted while spewing intense mes as if excited. And the huge mes emanating from his body wrapped around Jungshik''s body and soon began to be absorbed with an intense glow. Woo woo woo. As the first true apostle of Vulcanus, Jung Shik is endowed with the divinity and power he deserves. To him, Vulcanus began to give missions that Jung-shik would have to carry out in the future. [Go out into the world and create powerful and excellent weapons that no one dares to touch.] [Rally the dwarf n and revive them on the continent of Arcadia.] [The dwarf n and the armor made with your hammer are praised throughout this continent and my The moment when his name is praised by all the cksmiths...] Vulcanus murmured in a dreamy voice, as if earnestly wishing for that day toe. He shouted in the mes burning intensely as if he had reached his climax. [I will recover all my powers and be resurrected as a single being on this earth!] Roaring. [Mythic feat. Received the power of a god that was not recorded for the first time.] [Changed to the Hidden ss Master Hand.] [Acquired the power Endow divinity''] [Acquired the title Disciple of Vulcan''] [The title Dwarf n'' Acquired The Prophet''.] [Obtained the title Ruler of me and Steel''.] . . . Zhong Shik, the first apostle and former Hidden ss Master Hand. And at the same time, in addition to the enormous titles pouring down like bombs, he added a system that no one had ever acquired. [The mission system has been added.] [The more you carry out the given mission, the stronger the divine power that follows you.] [If you refuse to carry out the mission, a penalty may be imposed.] [Quest The Complete Resurrection of Vulcanus'' has been obtained.] Too many changes to ept at once. After checking the various messages that popped up in front of his eyes nkly for a while and confirming the changes for a long time, Joong-sik was able to discover the three people who were waiting for him. Is it over now? yes. I transferred to a new hidden ss. Other than that, there are many new things in many ways. Numerous tasks that must be preceded in order to fully revive Vulcan''s divinity. While looking at homework, such as a quest about recruiting new followers in the system called mission, Jungsik muttered as if he was slightly troubled. I thought this... was over, but now its just the beginning. An apostle who acts as a representative of God and an errand boy. A position like a double-edged sword that acquires enormous power and divinity that no one dares to touch, but in return, there are missions and goals that must be fulfilled. Angelina''s curious voice was heard by Jung-shik, who was standing with a mysterious expression on his face as he felt a strange sense of anticipation and excitement at having a new goal, as well as a huge sense of responsibility and pressure. But what purpose is this ignorantlyrge furnace used for? Angelina is examining the huge furnace that upies most of the space, tapping the ice yeti''s earthenware pot with an iron bar. To her question, Jungshik shrugged his shoulders and answered. Well... I don''t know exactly, but it''s probably a facility rted to Vulcanus. okay....? yes. If you look at the contents of the quest... It also includes the information that you need to rekindle the fire in that furnace in order for Vulcan to be resurrected. Quest Complete Resurrection of Vulcanus. Vulcanus, whose presence has be clearer than before, but has yet topletely recover all of his divinity and power. Confirming that he still needs a lot to fully exert his influence in Arcadia again, Jungshik murmured as he touched the furnace filling the temple. [Eternal Furnace: Myth] This furnace symbolizes the undying divinity of Vulcanus, the god of me and steel. This furnace, which burns forever in a super-high me and melts any hard metal at once, haspletely lost its power for some reason and has been dormant for a long time. This furnace is one of the quest conditions? yes. It doesn''t say exactly what to do... but anyway, getting this furnace back up and running is part of my job. A truly superrge furnace that is dozens of timesrger than a normal furnace. With a fair amount of firewood, it was not even enough to light a fire in this furnace, so Gaeko shook his head and muttered, looking at it. This is one... isnt that enough for a real red dragon toe and use its breath to catch fire? I don''t think it would be absolutely impossible in a normal way... Gaeko threw a word without thinking. However, upon hearing that, Angelina stopped with a very serious expression and muttered. I know....? Would that be enough? yes....? What do you mean? Gaeko and Joong-sik ask questions with puzzled expressions. However, Casis opened his mouth with a stiff face, as if he realized what Angelina was about to do. You can''t... do such an ignorant thing... Why are you so ignorant? Breaking the seal in one shot would be too smart. Angelina, not listening to Casis, suddenly turns around and walks toward the furnace again. And she said as if it was nothing to the three people who were silently looking at her back. You have to go down anyway, dont you make it? Could it be that mythic grade items have to be broken with only one-circle magic? ...? What is that...? Jungsik and Gaeko, who have not yet grasped the situation. However, the two soon opened their mouths as they watched what Angelina was doing. Fire bolt. Fire. A sphere of red me that rises at her murmur. However, as if it were going to be this much, Angelina continued to mutter an incantation. Firebolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. fire bolt. Fire bolt... I can''t imagine right now... Oh no. If something goes wrong... The two try to dissuade Angelina, who is frightened as she creates the crazy artificial sun that shatters the canyon itself, including the seal. However, Angelina did not hesitate at all and created as many fire bolts as her mana allowed, recreating the same catastrophic mass as before. Eagle Eagle. Just looking at it, the essence of a huge me overflowing with tremendous heat energy. She released the immense power of the me that she held tightly and pressed against the furnace containing Vulcan''s divinity without anyone stopping her. Fire bolt. Maximum. and that moment. The same message is starting toe to everyone who ys this Arcadia. [All the requirements for the newrge-scale update have been met.] [Therge-scale update Resurrection of the Holy Spirit'' has been applied.] [ Runs a cinematic video rted to the update.] [Freezes all time in Arcadia to watch the video. do.] Chapter 307 Chapter 307 The Hidden Legend (2) Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Those who always lead a peaceful (?) daily life were screaming in pain at a series of events that suddenly burst out. Daily Life of a Wave Breaker has started broadcasting again! This time we will explore the ice bug! Immediately after arge-scale invasion of the Gael Federation. Because of that, the entirepany had already dered a state of emergency and was busy trying to deal with the rted situation and contents, but in the meantime, it was a precursor to another huge incident. The staff who confirmed it all put their hands together and prayed and cried out again. Aww! What are those damn bastards up to this time! Please... please lets move on quietly. I''m going to die anyway! 5 major forbidden ice bugs. An unknown gold region untouched by ordinary employees. The fact that this unidentified area, which is thoroughly managed by Alice, is being thoroughly dug up by dangerous people of interest, all the staff swallowed their saliva, feeling unusually ominous. I am Yatongson, the cksmith of the mes. Circle 1 Archmage Angelina. All Weapon Master Casis. Secret seeker Gaeko. The holders of the hidden ss, and the special surveince targets who touched numerous hidden contents, yed unconventionally, and did all kinds of entricities. The fact that there were not one but four of them gathered at Arcadia Co., Ltd. The staff swallowed their saliva with nervous faces. Isn''t this... a real X?'' An ominous foreboding phenomenon that seems like a huge storm ising over and over again. In the midst of this imminent situation where they are entering deep into Iceberg, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was negotiating with President Lee Mi-Yeon. Boss, I think you should tell us what you know. A ruin hidden deep within the Iceberg. And Vulcanus, who first appeared in Arcadia, and Jung-shik, who was chosen as an apostle. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who couldn''t even ess detailed information about all of these things, said with a really troubled expression, as if he couldn''t work like this. There is nothing that all executives and employees, including me, know about the matter. What the hell is the boss... No, what are the core developers including Ellis thinking? Vulcanus, the god of fire and steel, burst out of nowhere. However, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han knew better than anyone else how heterogeneous this existence was. In Arcadia, there has never been a setting called a god, right? I don''t understand why all of a sudden they''re trying to put the existence of a god that didn''t even exist in this way. An omniscient and omnipotent being with transcendental power beyondmon sense and limits of human beings. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who has ess to most of Arcadia''s basic settings and records. However, when something huge that even he did not know suddenly popped up through streaming broadcasting, even the executives and staff of Arcadia Co., Ltd., including hundreds of millions of viewers, couldn''t help but be upset. However, President Lee Mi-yeon snorted loudly as if she was tired at the words of Kwon Myeong-han. First of all... to make one thing clear, the setting existed from the beginning. However, for various reasons, it was ultimately scrapped during development. yes....? Managing Director Kwon Myung-han asked with a puzzled expression as if he did not understand President Lee Mi-yeon''s words. I tried to exin further to him, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon hesitated at the cheerful beep sounding from hisputer, looked at the monitor, and put on a puzzled expression. Why is that? Hmm... I don''t think I need to say anything about this. yes....? President Lee Mi-yeon, who does not respond to executive director Myung-han Kwon''s question, is deeply immersed in thought. And she immediately issued a congrattory order to Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, who was standing in the middle of nowhere. Please go back to your seat until I call you aside. If you go down to the office, you will know what you just wanted to ask me, even if you dont want to know it. President Lee Mi-yeon, who never gives a clear exnation. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han left as if she had been kicked out of her office because she stubbornly hit an iron wall saying that she had nothing more to say. He went down to the office with a confused expression and soon asked in a questionable voice in the office atmosphere that was so quiet. Why are you so quiet? what''s the matter? A strange situation where no one answers his question. However, he soon found his loyal confidant Kang Tae-hun frozen in the distance with his mouth open. And soon he froze with the same expression as the other employees while watching the video streaming from therge screen hanging on one side of the wall. Understanding why President Lee Mi-yeon kept telling her not to ask questions and just go back to her seat. * * * [All the requirements for the newrge-scale update have been met.] [Therge-scale update Resurrection of the Holy Spirit'' has been applied.] [ Runs a cinematic video rted to the update.] [All of Arcadia to watch the video . Time is frozen.] Time freeze that was triggered when the World Tree appeared and all continents were unified. A situation where everyone who explored dungeons, hunted monsters, gathered herbs in the forest, and went around to buy goods froze as if they had ag, and only their consciousness existed. And soon, all the background screens were reversed, and only the endless void greeted all users. [In the beginning... this world was full ofplete emptiness.] Roaring. A man in the shape of a mountain goat who suddenly emerges from the void. Fiercely burning all over, he began to talk as if he were monologue to himself. [My father who existed alone in the meaningless void and emptiness. He created the tree of life in this space ofplete nothingness and then began to create all things.] A small tree growing in the void. Soon, it bes a huge tree that epasses the entire world, and countless lives prosper within it. The Genesis-like video that first appeared in the story of the World Tree began to pass quickly, and soon Vulcan''s longing-filled voice was heard. [A father who created many children starting with the tree of life. At this time, Arcadia was happier, more peaceful, and more beautiful than ever. Countless brothers and sisters, including myself, were born, and they established their own domains throughout the continent of Arcadia, providing beneficial knowledge and gifts to humans, and making this Arcadia more prosperous than ever.] The World Tree rests due to the Holy Demon War . a time much earlier. Transcendent beings nestled all over the continent. The images of humans worshiping and praising dozens of gods, living in harmony with countless different races, and prospering quickly passed by, showing Arcadia with apletely different feeling from now. [But... that peace was broken at one point.] A terribly ck darkness. The horror of the unknown ck mist that encroaches on the entire continent of Arcadia. A ck mist that targets those with transcendent divinity who fiercely resist. Dozens of gods with omnipotent power and authority. Although they had power and wisdom that no one dared to deal with, they were engulfed in the ck mist and eventually fell into hypocrisy that lost their very existence in the terrible void. It''s just a cinematic, but the horror of the ck fog to the point of shuddering, and the terrible pain and screams of grief thate from within, the users choking. The moment you close your eyes tightly in the fear of the cold abyss, unknown to its depth. Vulcan''s sad voice began to be heard. [The owner of the ck mist that suddenly appeared one day. He was hostile towards me and the other siblings and started attacking us, but my father did nothing. The owner of that ck mist... is on the same level as his father. No, it was an existence with more power than that.] Dozens of deities, calling for their father anxiously, disappeared one by one in the ck mist. When the world was dyed ck with the end of Vulcanus disappearing with pitiful eyes at the end, only a few divinities remained in the world of Arcadia. [My father grieved for our disappearance, but he couldn''t do anything. No, rather, being threatened and threatened by the owner of the ck mist, the father gave orders to the beings who survived the attack of the ck mist. ] Erase itpletely. It is to satisfy the owner of the ck Mist, so please ept the sin for me.] A voice heard in sorrow. Then, the eight-winged archangel and her followers, holding a sword that zed fiercely with the torch that annihtes and purifies all evil, began to ughter countless humans. Fiery burning cities and civilizations. And rivers of blood flowing across the continent. The peaceful and prosperous civilization of Arcadia was destroyed in an instant, and Vulcanus murmured in a self-deprecating voice as he looked at the dark age that had arrived with the blood of an enormous amount of life. [All those who remembered and followed those who had be vain were ughtered, all our remaining records and traces were destroyed, and I and my brothers and sisters were erased from Arcadia... But my father made arrangements for us until the very end on this continent. I left it behind.] Dozens of starlight shining softly. The traces of the forgotten deity, whose presence is very faintly revealed throughout the unified continent of Arcadia, are shown very briefly, and Vulcanus was shouting with a joyful voice in the hidden ruins of Iceberg, where thest traces of himself remained. [And... Now, finally, the divinity of me and steel that had been dormant for that unfathomable long time has resurrected in Arcadia, so I proim it to everyone on this continent.] Kugoo Goo Goo . The furnace of eternal immortality. A gigantic mythical facility containing Vulcan''s god and his divinity. The furnace, which had been dormant for eons of time, began operating its function again amidst the unimaginable horrors and mes emitted by Angelina''s crazy fire bolts, giving Arcadia the lost divinity of Vulcan again. [me! Aspects of fire and steel. Vulcanus, the god of all cksmiths and dwarves, has risen again in Arcadia, so worship him! Humans! Praise! dwarves The resurrection of your divinity and the birth of your lost power.] Rumbling. Vulcan in the form of a goat holding a huge hammer. Explosively building up his power, he suddenly shrank as if he had lost steam, and then muttered as if not yet. [Find it. The traces of the brothers and sisters who have yet to be found, the final arrangements and their legacy that Father left behind on this continent. The traces of those who lost their existence in the void with me will be hidden all over the vast Arcadia, so you will be reborn as true apostles of God through countless penances and endowed with authority and dignity appropriate to them.] Apostles of God . authority and rank. Vulcanus throws rice cakes that make your ears flutter wildly just by hearing them at billions of users. in the darkening screen. At the moment the cinematic was ending, Vulcan''s final warning was heard in a whisper. [Be afraid, mortals. The owner of the ck Mist is just not interested in Arcadia. Are you hiding somewhere in the void? The moment Asura sets his sights on Arcadia again...] The owner of the ck Mist is said to have erased dozens of deities and has greater power than the Creator. Asura. Vulcanus murmured in a voice so frightening that it did not match the title of god. [The true end wille to this Arcadia.] Chapter 308 Chapter 308 Complete Resurrection (1) [Video viewing has ended.] [Time freeze has been canceled.] [Update has beenpleted.] [Act. 2 Resurrection of divinity] [Be an apostle of the hidden divinity and resurrect the ancient deity.] [Check the erased ancient records.] [Obtain the title The one who pursues the secrets of the world''.] The cinematic video ends . Users who returned to their original position at the same time as they became. The same message began to emerge to all those who learned the hidden story of Arcadia that no one knew. -what! This? Asura? An ancient deity? -crazy. So you''re saying there are multiple guys like Vulcanus in the video? -Didn''t you see the dim lights in the video? It was spread all over the continent of Arcadia. -How can I watch this video again? Would you like to have a video recorded? -Apostle of God? Isn''t this the super-super-hidden ss among the hidden sses? The existence of a god whose records have been erased. However, the users who watched the video of the lunch in real time began to make a sharp analysis of a series of events that were happening in real time with collective intelligence. -So... the ruins of gods such as Vulcanus are hidden, and if you find them and carry out the quest, you can be an apostle and gain tremendous power... What is this roughly? -That''s why Dtongson was holding a mythical grade item..... No one but Dtongson had ever obtained it, but now I understand. -But how the heck did I get this quest? -I don''t know. Maybe he got a hidden quest while getting close with the dwarves? -Anyway... if you find a historical site rted to that myth, you''re saying it''s a jackpot, right? -If you see that the main scenario has been judged, of course it is. But if you look at the scale, it''s worth it. Required content to get ahead in Arcadia. That''s why they focused more than ever on the story of Jung-sik, the only one who approached this main scenario first. Hmm... First of all, to briefly talk about the mission system, it would be convenient to think of it as a kind of quest. The only difference is that the subject who grants the quest is the godhead he follows. An apostle who is endowed with divinity and authority and possesses special powers. However, being such an apostle was not unconditionally good. If you follow the mission, you can receive rewards and additional powers, but on the contrary, if you go against it or neglect it, you may receive a huge penalty. It says that in serious cases, you may be stripped of your position as an apostle. The absolutew mission that a transcendent being with divinity must follow. In the chat window, all sorts of questions poured into Jung-sik''s story that there were enormous restrictions that must be followed unconditionally. -So, if the mission is to not kill monsters, then you can''t hunt? - Would the operator have put such crazy restrictions? Thinkmon sense. -??? Since when did this game bemon sense? - Lol lol. This game has never been normal from the start. - Then what is your mission? Please exin in detail. An apostle of Vulcanus and a former member of the hidden ss called Master Hand. When someone asked what his mission was, he moved his finger to open a system window called the newly created mission and said. Hmm... my mission is... Joong-sik blurted out his words as he stared at the window that appeared in front of him. [Mission of Vulcanus] -Discover the hidden city of the Dwarf n. - Reached the maximum affinity of the Dwarf n. - Weapon crafting rank 1. - Armor crafting rank 1. - 1st rank in jewelry production. - Mining rank 1. -Smelt 1 rank. -Metalworking rank 1. - Crafting legendary grade items. . . . Sand of Forge, the hidden city of the dwarves. The mission to train all kinds of cksmith-rted skills to the extreme level, starting with entering the ce. However, those conditions were shining with green text as if the mission had already been aplished. And..... -Collect 10000 Ore of me. -Collect 10000 Essence of Fire. -Collect 100,000 highest-grade Fire Spirit Stones. -Collect 20000000 Refined Coal. -Collect 20000000 of the highest grade lumber. . . . Dozens of lists crossed out to indicate that they have all been deleted. And at the very end, one text was twinkling in green light. - Operation of the furnace of eternal immortality. Originally, Vulcan''s Divine Sacred Furnace of Eternity can be operated only when the highest level of materials, which are filled with the energy of pure me, are put into operation. However, since it had already started operation due to Angelina''s crazy special fire bolt, there were no numerous tasks that Jung-sik had to perform for that purpose. Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr A gigantic furnace roaring with a tremendous roar. The pure mes spewing out of it contained powerful power in itself. Whoops. great divinity. The eternal furnace, thest vestige and legacy of Vulcanus remaining on thisnd. Jung-sik, who had been looking at the equipment that Vulcanus used to use when making something with his own hands, with nk eyes, soon found something waiting for the owner around him. [Orichalcum] [Dragon Bone] [Fairy King''s Wing Powder] [Heart of the Giant Lord] [Insignia of the King''s Guard] [Twigs of the World Tree] . . . Materials of enormous value piled up in one corner of the Temple of Vulcan. It wasn''t a lot, but he instinctively realized what he had to do when he saw rare and meaningful materials that didn''t exist for sale even if he had a lot of money. Hey... Miss Angelina. huh? why? Angelina asked with an ignorant face as if asking why. Chinese food asked her one favor. Could you, by any chance, supply the mes to that furnace... so that it doesnt go out? hmm....? do you want me to do that again? suddenly? An insane act of hitting the maximum number of fire bolts at once. When Jung-sik asked if he wanted to do it again, Angelina asked with an iprehensible expression, but Jung-sik answered with a determined expression, holding the hammer of Vulcan that was hanging from her waist. Because now I know what to do. Vulcanus, the god of fire and steel. There was only one task left to bring him back to life in Arcadia. - Crafting Mythic grade items. * * * There are eight item grades in Arcadia. Common - Magic - Rare - Rare - Unique - Epic - Legendary - Mythic. Considering that the items worn by 90% of Arcadia yers were rare items or lower, items with a unique grade or higher were rarer than expected. - Unique item prices are getting crazy. price doesn''t go down. -Howe the sale doesn''te out after a while? This dung beetle. -I know the game is fun, but the level is too hardcore. -But isn''t it right that it should be rare starting from the unique grade? -The price of one unique item = the price of one apartment in the metropolitan area. Is this right? Unique or higher-grade items boasting incredible prices. Many users jumped into production-type jobs because of the expensive equipment that they couldn''t even afford to buy unless they were wealthy enough. - If I make and sell unique items, will I be rich? - This is an investment! If you raise the skill rank a little, you''ll be able to make it even if you make it roughly! Users who have a grand dream of mass-producing high-grade items by raising their production skills. However, they soon had to shed bloody tears due to the spiciness of Arcadia''s insane production system. - Oh shit. It cost 10 million won only for the production cost, but a normal item? Are you insane? -No, the skill rank is 9th rank and the materials are of the highest quality, so why is it rare? a joke -Some of them even picked rare ones with normal ingredients! His skill rank is also lower than mine. The rating of a product that ispletely iprehensible. However, as a result ofprehensively analyzing the failure cases and sess cases of numerous users, they were able to draw one conclusion. Arcadia''s crafting system is closely rted to real-world proficiency. Even in reality, artisans who run studios, chefs who run restaurants, and artists who majored in art stand out in Arcadia and create high-grade items. Because of that, the enthusiasm was so hot that there were people who moved from workshop to studio saying they would learn metallurgy, but no one has yet produced any remarkable results. -Who was the second in the cksmith rankings? -You know that. Zeke? that human -Isn''t he making unique once and then making porridge? -?? That''s true, but besides him, there must be no other person who has ever made a unique? cksmith users who are struggling to produce even one unique grade item. But at this moment. They were looking in real time at a person who had reached the distant and far-away state that they had only imagined in their heads. Caang. Caang. The furnace of eternal immortality. Joong-shik is concentrating on melting all kinds of precious metals in it and hammering it with a hammer on the rugged workbench in front of it. Those who were watching each and every one of his production processes in real time were amazed at his monstrous concentration and persistence. - Wow..... How many days have you been doing this? -Yeah..... I think it''s been almost a month? -No, I log on and hammer all day long. How long are you making it? -Are all production jobs like this? -Are you crazy? It usually doesn''t take this long. Chinese food where the person watching is silently hitting a red-hot metal lump with a hammer in silence to the point of feeling stuffy. Even he, who had never felt the heat before, was pounding the elongated hammer while sweating profusely in the heat of the powerful mes spewing from the furnace of eternal immortality. Caang. Just a little more...'' Caang. It''s still a long way.....'' Caang. It''s such a terrible workload that even if you have superhuman patience, you will give up with your tongue stuck out. However, the evaluation that Michael had made about lunch was not wrong. [Of course, it is important for cksmiths to have artistic inspiration that allows them to capture their skills, talents, and perhaps even their own souls. But in my view, that''s not the most important quality a cksmith should have.] [ The most important thing is the tenacity and tenacity to never give up on hammering iron with a heavy hammer while enduring the scorching fire and the suffocating heat. In that indomitable will and belief, through millions... no, tens of millions of hammer hits, a weapon with true power is born.] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Orichalcon, the legendary metal called the metal of the gods. The bone of the dragon, the master of magic and the guardian of Arcadia. A race of giants called the children of God. The heart of their leader, Lord. In addition to that, each material with strong power and character began to respond to the hammering of Jung-shik, who had an intense conviction that never gave up in the mes of Vulcan''s divinity. Koo Goo Goo Goo. Joong-sik ispletely immersed in production and is not even aware of the anomalies happening around him. However, all of that was delivered intact to countless people through real-time streaming. -What is that...? -halo....? Woo woo woo. The divinity of Vulcanus, reacting violently to each stroke of a hammer. From the tremendous light pouring down on the armor he created, to the mighty power of the mes, everything was vividly conveyed to everyone without filtering. And how long has it been? The moment when Joong-sik holds up the work he has created, exhaling deeply and smiling as if satisfied. Viewers could realize they had witnessed two miracles. The birth of arms that fully contain the power and dignity of a lofty god. The birth of the first user to create a mythical item. Chapter 309 Chapter 309 Complete Resurrection (2) Joong-sik hit the hammer without stopping in the hot me. Except for the time to close the connection, he waspletely engrossed in production, the moment when he finally finished production. Numerous messages of congrattions began to emerge in front of the luncheon. [Mythic feat. I made an armament containing the power of God.] [A state beyond human limits. The yer''s creations are endowed with appropriate dignity and divinity.] [The first myth-grade item was created.] [ The entire continent of Arcadia pays attention to the birth of a new god.] [The title Creator of Myth'' has been obtained.] [ The title Legendary cksmith'' has been acquired.] [The title Indomitable Will'' has been obtained.] . . . The birth of the first Mythic grade item. A work of art made by Chinese food that shines more brilliantly than ever and scatters a huge divinity. Angelina, Casis, and even Gaeko looked at it in wonder at the intense and splendid effect they had never seen before. Woo woo woo. A shield that scatters too much intense light. And soon, an existence descended in front of the furnace of eternal immortality. Roaring. A giant with the appearance of a goat made of red mes. Vulcanus, the god of fire and steel. He suddenly appeared and muttered to himself with a shocked expression, as if even he couldn''t believe the current situation. [I can''t believe it..... No, it doesn''t make sense. To elerate my resurrection in this way...] After long hardships and penance, Joong-sik found hisst remaining arrangement. Deciding on him as an apostle and sharing his powers and powers, Vulcan did not fret. Vulcanus, who lost his power for eons and passed the time of pain, fading and fading in the void. Thanks to the birth of an apostle called Jung-sik, the existence itself was built to some extent, but there was too much to bepletely resurrected with it. [Through my strength and power, I overcame countless difficulties and hardships... I thought that I was an existence that would grow and grow in the process and finally beplete...] Gather a lot of materials to operate the Eternal Furnace In the process, he thought that he would reach the limit as a cksmith, build an unshakable spirit and belief, and grow into aplete being. However, Vulcanus looked at Jungshik, who was standing in front of him with a bewildered face, and said with a devastated smile as if he was wrong. [You have already beenpleted for a very long time, my apostle.] Since his days as a ve in the Pagon Mine, he has endured asceticism without wavering. That strong tenacity, that intense passion. And again, reminding himself that that persistence that never backed down had called him, Vulcan spoke to his first hammer, which hadpleted the final task of announcing hisplete resurrection too quickly. [Thank you.] Vulcanus, a being with a transcendent dignity and divinity that cannot bepared to that of a single human being. But for the first time, he expressed sincere gratitude to a lowly human being. He almost lost all his powers after being eaten by Asura, the owner of the ck Mist. Now that the final near-impossible task he had to carry out in order to be resurrected by his father''s final arrangements waspleted, Vulcanus knew what he had to do. Woo woo woo. The furnace of eternal immortality began to shake with a tremendous roar as if something extraordinary was about to happen, and Vulcanus began to emit his divinity with all his might. And soon a huge me began to burst out of the furnace. Aaaaaaang. mes striking the ceiling of the templepletely frozen in ice. When the ice wall of Ice Bug, which had been frozen for an eternity of time, was struck in an instant, and the mes began to rise high into the sky, the whole of Arcadia began to shake. Koo Goo Goo Goo. What! I can''t believe it..... That''s...! A gigantic pir of me that even peacefully farming NPCs could witness from hundreds of kilometers away. After a me so powerful that it could be said to be phenomenal surged into the air of the ice bug. The mighty heat began to engulf the entire Iceberg. Jijijiji support position. A realm that embraced the bitter cold that no one dared to approach. The hot wind that suddenly blew into the ice area, which seemed to never melt, soon began to melt everything. Snow and ice umted over thousands of years. These melted in an instant, and the rapidly changing appearance of the ice bug. The ocher-colored earth and vast rock walls and rocks that had been hidden at the bottom appeared and began to reveal their fertile nature. Woo woo woo. Following the order of Vulcanus, who had regained all his strength, all the cold air that had been encroaching on the ice bug for a long time was gathering. [Kiyi profit.] Coldness is condensed with a strange scream. Looking at the sphere, which was blue but ck with an unknown depth, Vulcanus said with a sad expression. [The existence that was encroaching on my territory, you are just a product that my father had no choice but to create in order to seal me. It is an imperfect existence that possesses divinity in order to suppress it, but has not been given the proper rank and position.] A new divinity born to seal the divinity of Vulcan. However, unlike the existing ns, it is a setting that is forcibly and hastily fitted, so unlike others, it is a being endowed with the divinity of mighty cold air that does not have a purpose unlike others, and it is the source of Ice Bug''s ruthless cold. It was caught in the mighty mes of Vulcanus and was resisting, spewing out tremendous cold air to escape here and there. [Kiyiyiyiig!] sh of divinity and divinity. However, the battle between the imperfect divinity, which had no ego, and Vulcanus, who had been reborn as apletely self-contained being, was overwhelming enough to be unmatched. [You are also the product of your father, so I can''t do anything with my own strength. But that doesn''t mean I can''t set you free.] The divinity of the cold that encroached on his territory and turned it into a cold zone called Ice Bug. Recalling the catastrophe that would happen if this power was released on the continent, Vulcanus looked at the weapon Jungsik had created. Woo woo woo. A vessel well-qualified to contain one''s mighty power and authority. Vulcanus, who recalled the name and divinity that had not yet been engraved on it in the form of a shield, smiled strangely and said. [The ruler of me and steel and the father''s 8th child speaks.] It is a divine power that can only be manifested by beings with divinity. An absolutemand with absolute authority in its own domain. Prophecy. ording to that order, here and now the first order of the resurrected Vulcan was being executed. [Your name is Svalinn. The divinity you possess is the cold and cold ice before the brilliant light of the sun and hot mes existed in this world.] Before the sun and mes existed. Svalin, an era full of ice and cold. Giving a name to the nameless divinity, Vulcanus poured all of his mighty power into the shield created by Jungshik. [Freeze your enemies in the bitter cold, protect everyone with an eternal wall of ice, and do your best.] A crystal of cold air that is forcibly sucked into the shield Jungsik created by Vulcanus. I don''t know if it''s intentional or not, but the shield that fully epted and absorbed the mighty divinity soon began to change its appearance. do not fall out. fall out. The shield made a strange sound and started to turn white. Orichalcum''s purple color went nowhere, and the shield, frozen in pure white, soon began to emit intense cold air. Woo woo woo. A vessel of a god endowed with proper divinity and rank. In this way, another new mythical grade equipment was born in Arcadia. It gives the enemy a tremendous amount of freezing and damage, and provides almost invincible fire and ice attribute immunity to the wearer, and the word fraudes out of nowhere. A shield item named Svalin. * * * Jack, the creator and chief developer of Arcadia. He watched the current situation in the game with a serious face, and then sighed andmented. [Haa..... In the end, that bastard makes a mythical grade item.....] The final condition for theplete resurrection of Vulcanus, and the final goal of cksmith users, is the production of a mythical grade item. Looking at the four people who solved this extremely difficult quest in such a simple and ignorant way that he would never dare to challenge in a normal way, he grabbed his throbbing head. [Ellis.... How long did we hold this scenario?] [Information about the lost age of mythology estimated that it would take about 15 years for Vulcan''splete resurrection in 7 years. ] The scenario you expected to reach. However, he had no choice but to admit it when he saw what the crazy Four Musketeers had done, including Jungshik. [Now I understand why Jenica and CEO Lee Mi-yeon hated me for having fun...] Jack started realizing that things he thought were fun in the past were now too much. However, it was a bigger problem that I couldn''t intervene to catch my breath. [This is an issue that requires the consent of the top manager regarding the adjustment of the scenario. No matter how much I try to adjust it ex officio, it is impossible.] The past. Jack created the world of Arcadia. However, in the process of making this world, which he had created with his infinite imagination based on Zenica''s story, into a game and releasing it worldwide, numerous settings had to be cut. [Why are there so many gods? It''s hard to memorize, it''splicated, and it''s hard to bnce it, so let''s just keep a few and remove them all.] [We''re not deleting them at all. Then why don''t you just add another setting?] As the father of this world, Jack created everything himself. But he is a benefactor and partner who saved him. And at the strong request of Kim Min-soo, another top developer who exerts great influence as a key shareholder of Silicorp, he had no choice but to give up after making some concessions. [Originally, it existed, but it all disappeared because of some evil and powerful being. They say it''s been sealed off somewhere, leaving only thest traces. Then, unlocking the hidden seal and releasing the dozens of divinities is a vast scenario. how is it? Don''t you think it''ll be fun?] Kim Min-soo, with an evil smile on his face, seemed to be having fun. It was a setting that he devoted himself to and participated deeply in, showing enthusiasm enough to write and n the scenario himself, so even Jack, who has all the authority over Arcadia, could not directly touch this scenario. [If you think that the scenario needs adjustment, I will inform the top manager that I would like to discuss the matter.] Kim Min-soo, who has recently cut off his interest in Arcadia. At Alice''s words that she would deliver the matter to him, Jack shook his head in amazement. [Yes....? no. no. I heard that the impeachment bill for President Jeon Ki-chan has been passed, but you don''t have to be like that.] The Jeon Chan administration, which has provided full support and cooperation to Arcadia. Jack didn''t want to scratch and scratch in the daily noise of Congress attempting a coup against the administration. [and.... It''s going to get bigger if I try to make Arcadia interested again.] Jack, the creator of Arcadia. He was feeling it instinctively. If he, whose personality makes even Satan cry, turns his eyes to Arcadia again. It means that a huge storm of chaos, iparable to the present one, will blow over Arcadia. A yer and an absolute being whopletely erased the glorious age of mythology in the past and stained it with countless blood. That we must never divert the attention of Asura, the master of the ck Mist. Chapter 310 Chapter 310 The Butterfly Effect (1) A war broke out between the Shouen Empire and the Gael Federation. The end of that war brought great irreparable damage to Japanese users. [As a result of the destruction of the Imperial Castle of the Shoen Empire, the aftermath is spreading throughout the continent. In the shopping district, the supply of items is not smooth, so users are suffering because it is difficult to buy a single potion, and the damage is spreading in all directions, such as the deletion of the lost contribution of the hidden quest. ] Arcadia. Therefore, the destruction of the imperial castle, which yed a central role in politics, economy, history and culture, brought damage in all directions, regardless of the opponent and area. -This damn gamepany. -This is all because of Jo X Jing! Are you insulting all of Japan like this? - Does it make sense to satirize the tragedy of world history in this way! A situation where they don''t even think about nning a raid first and unterally attribute it to the fault of the gamepany. A vicious atmosphere was spreading throughout Japanese society to the point of almost riots, but despite this, Arcadia''s position was very firm and firm. [Virtual reality Arcadia, which is provided by Arcadia Co., Ltd., aims to realize a virtual world simr to reality. To this end, the intervention of gamepanies is minimized, and the system is developed and managed so that anything can be implemented to guarantee unlimited freedom and infinite possibilities. In response...] Despite President Lee Mi-yeon''s direct deration that there would be no rollback in this regard, repeated protests and demands from Japanese users who had not yet seen this spicy taste continued, and they strongly dered once again. . [The Imperial Castle of the Shoen Empire has been destroyed. You cannot undo what has already happened. It''s up to you, the user, whether you want to rebuild the capital of the imperial castle, which flourished and splendid in the ruins where everything copsed, or just leave it in a deste wastnd. It is not ourpany''s job to create the story of Arcadia. It''s up to you.] Arcadia''s official statement that cleaning up shit is not their job. The Japanese users were outraged at their insistence on giving up and returning because they would not openly change it, but the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. did not even dare to deal with such public sentiment. As of the current time, we n to conduct aprehensive inspection of the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. We hope that each department will submit aprehensive report on the work it has been responsible for so far, and individual interviews and inquiries will be held for each person, so please do not leave your seats and wait at your respective locations. Suddenly, foreigners in ck suits stormed into the entirepany. Those who started to look at the work of all departments saying that they came from the Arcadia headquarters soon began to reveal everything by carrying out intense interrogation in the name of individual interviews. When did you detect an anomaly urring in the Shoen Empire? That''s... I''m not exactly good... As a result of checking thepany e-mail records, it appears that suspicious movements rted to this incident were identified and reported at least two weeks before the incident urred. Are you sure it was you who reported to the higher up? Thats true, but... Thousands of employees. Individual interviews and intensive internal inspections were conducted, starting with CEO Kazuki, to those who stood guard in the lobby and those in charge of cleaning services. Truly, the person in charge who entered the office of Governor Kazuki with the results of stripping everything from the bottom to the top floor of thepany and turning it upside down was Alex, acting as the general vice president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and the faithful representative of President Lee Mi-yeon. I didn''t want to talk about this for a while, but... Branch Manager Kazuki, you''ve really been running thepany like a mess. He opens his mouth coldly with a very cold face. As if he already knew everything, Alex took out one of the thick stacks of papers held by a foreigner apanying him and began reading. Starting with ounting irregrities such as illegal overtime pay or vacation travel expenses by employees, forcedpany meetings and overtime work, bullying and abuse of power using hierarchies in the workce... Among female employees, there have been several reports of sexual harassment and sexual harassment from superiors. It came in. Vicious cultures that were being done in the name of customs in Japan. Among all the denials and suspicions pouring out ceaselessly, starting with these issues, Alex asked one question with grim eyes shining as if he could not stand it. Thepany''s internal operational responsibilities are also a problem... but they intentionally hid information about arge-scale war being prepared against the Korean continent. We have already confirmed that reports have been sent in through the monitoring staff, and we have also secured testimony that an order was given to keep quiet about this through you. Governor Kazuki intentionally concealed important information. Alex was angry at the fact that he maliciously tried to hide a huge incident that could have a tremendous impact on the Korean continent, not just the Japanese continent. Are you saying that for the sake of the interests of the Japanese continent, you will not care about the damage that other continents will suffer? If the scenario went as nned, you wouldnt have known how much chaos would have urred throughout Arcadia and that thepany and the entire user would suffer huge losses. ..... Branch manager Kazuki doesnt say anything despite Vice President Alexs questioning and keeps his mouth shut. In response to Governor Kazuki''s attitude, he said as if he had nothing more to say. Good. If you''re going toe out like that, I can''t help it. Governor Kazuki is exercising his right to remain silent. Looking at him with bleak eyes, Vice President Alex dered. As a result of theprehensive inspection of the Arcadia Japan branch, serious misconduct and intentional dereliction of duty that caused serious damage to thepany as a whole were discovered by 6 executives, including branch manager Kazuki, and 4 department head-level employees and 72 general employees. . Therefore, I give an order as the authority of the head of this inspection and vice president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. A situation in which full authority was delegated by unanimous resolution from the entire board of directors, including President Lee Mi-yeon. Therefore, based on all the evidence he had in his hands, he decided to take a summary action on the spot. As of the current time, we will immediately notify the relevant employees of the disciplinary dismissal, and organize a legal team to seek civil and criminal liability for damages suffered by thepany and execute immediate procedures. Alex leaves Governor Kazuki''s office with a cold look in his eyes. Before he left the room, he turned his head and red at him before leaving thest word. Lets see. I will watch until the end so that you thoroughly pay the price for betraying thepany. In this way, Kazuki''s grand dream to fuck President Lee Mi-yeon and other users on the Korean continent ended in tragedy. Senior executives and employees getting packed up and kicked out with disciplinaryyoffs. And even a trial on civilwsuits flying to them. It brought huge bloodshed to the entire Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. * * * The Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is struck with swords. Information on thisprehensive inspection and the dismissal of key officials, including Governor Kazuki, was immediately reported to Prime Minister Abin. And again, the secret meeting was held. In it, Prime Minister Abin expressed his anger toward Korea and President Lee Mi-yeon without hesitation. How dare you... how dare you fuck us up like this? That damnpany...! Arcadia Co., Ltd. has branches all over the world. Therefore, although it was apany that could not be confined within the control and influence of the Japanese government, Prime Minister Abin took it as an intolerable insult and provocation to those who cut out all those who have a close rtionship with them in this way in a single moment. . Most of the key officials who were coborating with us in the Japanese branch were excluded from their duties or fired due to this inspection. There are still a few people left... but they are almost all low-level employees, so it''s safe to say that the informationwork inside Arcadia Co., Ltd. has beenpletely blown away. The Cab Investigation Office was able to collect information on the overall atmosphere and trends of Arcadia Co., Ltd., although there was no key information. They continued to report as if they were embarrassed by the informationwork that had bepletelymunist. It seems that we have not been able to uncover the close rtionship between the Japanese branch and us, but they seem to be looking at it with some suspicion. For the time being, it has been announced that it willpletely exclude the provision of key information to the Japanese branch, and the management authority of employees has also been lowered. A collective and organized movement within Japan. Arcadia Co., Ltd., seems to be looking suspiciously at the fact that there was a connection between the Cab Investigation Office and the Cyber Command, although it cannot be grasped. That''s why it was a situation where I had to ept falling into an information vacuum for a while in a wary atmosphere. Prime Minister, public opinion in Japan is disturbed by this operation. The assertion that President Lee Mi-yeon, who favors the Korean continent as a whole, did this by maliciously satirizing nuclear weapons to insult Japan as a whole is gaining strength. The imperial castle of the Shouen Empire that was blown away along with nothing else but a nuclear mushroom cloud. Of course, it was just one user who did such an outrageous thing, but most Japanese users think that there is a problem with Arcadia Co., Ltd., which condoned such a thing. In addition, thest word left by President Lee Mi-yeon at the press conference exploded their anger. [It''s in the game anyway, right? Don''t rush to die too much.] President Lee Mi-yeon, who is being denounced as a vicious anti-Japanese for having acent sense of history. In such a heinous atmosphere, Japan''s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also taking an unusual step in this regard, turning it into a diplomatic issue. What is the position of the Korean government? Prime Minister Abin''s question to the Foreign Minister. However, at his question, the foreign minister shook his head with a dark expression. There has been no official position announcement. The current head of the Korean government, President Jeon Ki-chan, faces the political situation of impeachment, and the political world is in chaos, so it seems that there is no capacity to deal with it. Seoul, the capital of Korea and the center of a poption of 10 million. The Underworld project started with the intention of building a huge city underground. As a result, the head of the executive branch, who was waging a lonely war with the entire legitive branch, was in a critical situation where he was eventually impeached. Ahhhhhhhhhhh...these damn jockeys... The people''s sentiments simmered violently. And Prime Minister Abin, who is feeling anger from President Lee Mi-yeon, Korean users, and the whole of Korea. Then he heard the sweet voice of Sato, the head of the Cab Investigation Office. There is one operation reviewed by the Cab Investigations Office as a retaliatory measure for this incident. Retaliation action...? Prime Minister Abin raised his head and expressed interest in his words. With everyone''s eyes focused on him, he took out a picture from the briefcase and put it on the table, continuing the conversation. A while ago, the Prime Minister instructed us to devise an aggressive and preemptive operation. So, there was an analysis of key figures to target in the Cab Investigation Office. The Cab Investigations Office was making a list of potential high-value targets for Arcadia and virtual reality technology. And they ended up finding the best target who would benefit enormously if done well with the least burden. Is this... someone? fat body type. From thick horn-rimmed sses to tacky clothes. Prime Minister Abin asked with a bewildered look as he looked at a photo of a young man with an ugly appearance that would make anyone frown. And in response to such a question, the head of the Cab Investigation Department said with a smile of repentance. He is famous as an outstanding producer with unrivaled skills in Arcadia and virtual reality industry technology. He is 21 years old, his nationality is Korean, and his name is... He nced down at the report with his personal details written on it. He read his name with a slurred Korean pronunciation. My name is Lim Jae-gyun. Chapter 311 Chapter 311 Butterfly Effect (2) Due to the poption concentrated in the metropolitan area, real estate prices soar abnormally. As a result, young people who gave up on buying their own homes, and the marriage and birth rates are copsing day by day. In order to solve all this, President Jeon Chan-chan joined hands with Ajin Group and risked all his political life to promote a project. A huge underground city with a capacity of 10 million people. Project Under World. People who were suspicious of such an unrealistic idea. However, they began to be alert to the progress of Ajin Construction, which began digging underground by drilling a huge hole in the middle of the Han River, and seeing another huge underground site being built within it. This... if left alone, something really serious could happen. You''re going to crash real estate prices... You''re doing something dangerous. President Jeon Chan-chan was originally from a poormoner, wasnt he? Do you know what a loss this is to so many people, including us? Those who are already preupying all the ces that can be called the yolknd of Seoul. In particr, for the members of the National Assembly, who each own an apartment in Gangnam, Seoul, President Jeon Jeon''s behavior went beyond annoyance and eventually began to be a problem directly rted to their survival. Since the Underworld project started, the real estate market in Gangnam, Seoul has gone sideways and has fallen by more than 10%. I believe you will understand how fatal this situation is forwmakers who own several apartments by raising funds through loans and charter. Keuhmmmm..... To be honest, I don''t think this is something worth fighting for as the ruling party and the opposition party. We have to go beyond the ideology of the party and make a bipartisan decision to stop the crazy move of that president. The Korea Liberal Party and the New Nara Democratic Party dominate the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. Originally divided into conservatives and progressives, they were two political parties that bit each other and sttered blood. Then it is decided. No matter what happens, the two parties must work together before the electric president scraps the damn project. Please conduct a thorough internal crackdown so that any noise that opposes the partys decision does note out among thewmakers. The National Assembly''s omnidirectional pressure on the electric administration that started like that. However, despite all sorts of hearings, parliamentary audits, and even organizing a special prosecutor, they went on an all-out offensive, but in the end, they had to cross a river that they should not have crossed due to the actions of President Jeon Ki-chan, who closed his eyes and ears and never surrendered to the National Assembly. [The result of the vote on the impeachment of President Jeon Chan. 243 votes in favor. 51 votes against. Void 2 votes. It came out with 4 abstentions. Therefore, ording to the procedure stipted in Article 65 of the Constitution, I dere that the impeachment motion of President Jeon Chan has been officially passed.] [The suspicion of bribery rted to the Underworld project is growing day by day. Beginning with an internal disclosure by a Blue House official that President Jeon Jeon-chan held unprecedented behind-the-scenes negotiations with Ajin Group regarding the session of corporate management rights in this project, which is said to be thergest civil engineering project since Dangun... ] passage of impeachment. and subsequent suspension of the President''s duties. Before all the people could watch this news and be astonished, the National Assembly continued its next attack with swift action at this moment when the electric government lost its power. [Urgent news. Just now, in rtion to the Underworld bribery scandal, the judiciary epted the special prosecutor''s request for an arrest warrant, saying that the clear criminal charges of the Ajin Group and President Jeon Chan were proven. Therefore, Ajin Group Vice Chairman Lee Joo-yong and Ajin Construction President Lee Min-sik, who were currently waiting in the detention center, are expected to be tried in custody. This will have a significant impact on the Constitutional Court''s decision on the impeachment of President Jeon Ki-chan...] Theplete abolition of the Underworld. And the Jeon Chan administration is fighting a war against vested interests to continue the myth of invincibility in real estate. Their defeat is evident, and society is in chaos day by day. However, Seomin University students, including Jaeyoung, were living a very ordinary and boring life, no different from yesterday. OMG! Professor, please stop the assignment! Why do you think kids go crazy after every major ss? Its because the assignment is crazy. What the hell do you want from a sophomore? An exhausted college life, exhausted by lectures and assignments. Neers and haha hoho were young people who should have dreamed of a green and warm campus life, but the reality they faced was truly bleak. Hey, didnt you hear the professor praising the first gradersst time? They said they would write and submit a thesis as an assignment at the end of a semester. what....? thesis? No, what do the first years know...? Neers who have just been released from the CSAT and will not be enough even if they go out drinking and having fun. However, those who were carefully selected by Professor Taehoon Kim were quite far frommon sense. I dont know. Anyway, there are rumors that newbies went directly to the office and asked if they would like to write a thesis this semester, so that they could guide them, and the professor was so moved that he even shed tears. no way. Where does this bastard sell drugs? Do you think that makes sense? Unbelievably unreal situation. However, at his words, the motive shrugged and opened his mouth with a face that said, believe it or not, it doesn''t matter. Well... the bottom line is that no matter how hard we whine, Professor Kim Tae-hoon won''t blink an eye. It is obvious that he will pour out all kinds of vicious wordspared to the first graders, andpared to the seniors above, isn''t he on the better side? They say it''s just hell. Uh ..... College life bes more difficult as the grade goes up. All students of the Virtual Reality Engineering Department knew very well that the culprit was one Professor Kim Tae-hoon, but they could not express their dissatisfaction or take a leave of absence. Virtual Reality Engineering Department...? Oh, is that Professor Kim Tae-Hoons disciple? Heh heh heh. If you are a talented person from Seomin University, of course you are wee. Do you have any thoughts of wanting to join ourpany? I will take care of the conditions without being envious. After the conclusion of industry-academia cooperation with Arcadia Co., Ltd. The status of the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering has risen far. As a result, even though it was less than a year ago, the first 4th graders who graduated after Professor Tae-Hoon Kim took office were hired as if they were being bossed by variouspanies offering tremendous conditions and treatment. Dont even think about taking a leave of absence or transferring. It''s hell, but as long as you persevere, it''s not unreasonable to get a job at another conglomerate other than Arcadia. This is possible because there are still few graduates majoring in virtual reality engineering. that''s right. Since industries say they are hiring rted personnel, it seems like everyone is postponing the military service and starting with graduation. I dont know what will happen, but the best thing is to graduate as soon as possible. Ah..... I just don''t care where I am, so please give me a little assignment... Haa..... They were talking about things right in front of me and continuing toment about the current reality. motives. However, Jaeyoung and Jaekyun were sitting there with the face that they were talking about strangers at all. Jaeyoung,e to think of it, you still go to thatb these days...? huh? there? About once a week? okay....? uh. I go because I have to periodically check the synchro rate, but I don''t do anything special. Just like a test to be asked to do there from time to time? Those who start with avoiding some ball and present all kinds of tests. However, Jaeyoung proudly cleared all the difficult tasks the research team brought out as if ying a game. About 6 of them all break at the highest difficulty level, so after that, they didnt really ask for it. okay....? Jaeyoung speaks so easily. However, Jaekyun looked at Jaeyoung with a meaningful look in his eyes, as if imagining that the entireboratory might have turned upside down. You usually go there and then meet that... boss too? hmm? president? Why is he suddenly? Suddenly, Jae-kyun mentions CEO Lee Mi-yeon. At his question, Jaeyoung looked at him strangely and asked. That''s... no nothing. Jae-gyun, who tries to speak but evades. However, Jaeyoung, who had doubts about his behavior, frowned and asked. What. Don''t spin around and talk quickly. No... that''s what I heard a strange story among the staff the other day... A strange story? Jae-Young, you are... like CEO Lee Mi-Yeon''s secret friend... A secret friend. A word that seems to contain something significant and subtle. Seeing him gulping down his saliva while looking at him with indescribably strange eyes, Jaeyoung hit Jaekyun on the back of his head with the palm of his hand. Right. evil! Jae-gyun grabs the back of his head as if it hurts quite a bit. Looking at him with an unfair expression on his face as if asking why, Jaeyoung said. Secret friends are right, but not that special. It''s just a symbiotic rtionship in which each cooperates for their own benefit...? Symbiotic rtionship...? Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd., a world-sspany. yer Dex, who has a stronger influence than anyone else in the virtual reality Arcadia. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, can exert a powerful influence in the real world and Jae-young can exert a powerful influence in the game, so when he briefly talked about this rtionship in which they decided to help each other, Jae-gyun muttered in wonder. Wow... you mean the boss himself came forward and made that suggestion? It seems that the operators'' control over the virtual reality called Arcadia is weaker than I thought. Employees who had almost no authority to directly intervene in the game. In fact, he had been aware of that for a very long time, but through the Empire situation in this show, Jae-young could clearly feel that the level was quite serious. The fact that Japan didn''t stop me even though I knew it would bubble up like that, it wasn''t because I didn''t do it, it was because I couldn''t.'' Jaeyoung, who caused tremendous damage to the Shouen Empire and the entire Japanese continent. In addition, this great incident that caused international diplomatic problems must have been a huge event that a singlepany could never ignore. However, Jaeyoung involuntarily smiled at Arcadia Co., Ltd., which endured all the aftermath and did not intervene in the system in the game. Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities...'' Jae-young could not have imagined that he would keep such a ridiculous motto so faithfully. It was a crazy operation, but his honest impression was that the game was so much fun because of it. Of course, the problem was that it wasn''t fun at all from the point of view of other users. Oh Jaeyoung. Would you like to go home with me today? hmm? Why? You always stay until dinner because Chaeyeon is waiting for you. Even though it ends at 3:00 PM, Jae-kyun remains at the university until 6:00 PM, when Chae-yeon''s lecture ends. That''s why Jaeyoung asked with a curious look as if what was going on at a proposal that waspletely different from usual. Ah, Chaeyeon said she had dinner ns with her ssmates today. So he told me not to wait. Oh yeah? uh. So I''m going to go home a little early today too. Your room is also in the same direction as mine. A proposal to go home together after a long time. There was no particr reason to refuse, so Jaeyoung nodded without thinking. okay. good. Without even imagining what kind of crazy situation this decision would lead to. Chapter 312 Chapter 312 The Butterfly Effect (3) Japan is the closest country to Korea, but ironically too far away. Even though they are inseparable from each other politically, economically, militarily and culturally, the public sentiment of these two countries did not know how to ease and was always moving away from the extremes. And due to President Lee Mi-yeon''s absurd remarks and the mushroom cloud incident in Arcadia, public sentiment in Japan exploded and a great storm was blowing in the diplomats. The Japanese government feels deeply concerned and insulted by the mockery and satire of Japans historical tragedy that urred inside Arcadia, and strongly protests against it. We hope that the Korean government will directly step forward and deliver a message of apology, and we strongly request that measures be prepared and followed to prevent a recurrence in the future. Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Japan to Korea representing the Japanese Government. As a diplomat who doesn''t usually show emotion, he has lived for decades and has a lot of bones. You seem too excited, Japanese ambassador. The Korean government is also taking this incident seriously and expresses regret to all Japanese people who have been deeply hurt. However, it is a bit unreasonable for the Korean government to officially apologize in rtion to issues that have urred in generalpanies. From the moment the Korean government apologizes, it is not a problem for a singlepany, but an official problem for the whole of Korea. That is why Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin, acting as president, tried to reject the Japanese ambassador''s absurd demands. I hope you will consider the current political situation in South Korea. It is very difficult for me to step forward and make such a grave diplomatic decision. Since I am the acting president and not the real president, the powers given to me are extremely limited. I can''t give you a definite answer because I''m not the president. It could have been a very good excuse because there is no one who can take responsibility at this moment when President Jeon Chan was impeached and all authority and duties were suspended, but it was not a very good excuse for the angry Japanese ambassador. If the Korean governmentes out like this, do you think we wont be able to retaliate? The Japanese ambassador, who received Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin''s words from an interpreter, threw away all diplomatic rhetoric with a cold expression and spat out words that were close to counter-threatening. Uh..... The interpreter was so flustered that he thought about how to trante this. But before he could say anything, the Japanese ambassador got up from his seat, straightened his clothes, and left with only one final word. I understand the will of the Korean government in looking at this situation. I will deliver what I have seen and heard to my home country and see you again when I get an answer on the matter. The Japanese ambassador returns to the embassy, leaving behind Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin, who clearly looks embarrassed. He pulled out his phone in the car and called someone. I checked the tendencies of Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin, who is currently serving as an acting president after President Jeon Chan Jeon was suspended from his duties. When I saw it, it was judged to be passive, calcting, and indecisive, and it was strong to try not to create a big problem as much as possible. He made unreasonable demands on purpose and did not hesitate to do something rude that a diplomat would never do. However, instead of getting angry at his behavior, the Japanese ambassador said with a confident face, watching Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin try to appease him in a sweat. Currently, the Korean government is in a state where there is no final arbiter who can make important decisions due to the absence of President Jeon Ki-chan. If you are going to operate through covert agents, now is the right time. One such peaceful and boring afternoon that no one knows. The secret operation of the Japanese government began to be carried out in order to retaliate against the Korean people and government and Arcadia''s crazy atrocities (?). Without even imagining what this would lead to. * * * Seomin University Campus where countless studentse and go. There are many outside visitors who enter and exit the fairly extensive site, so no one paid any attention to it, but there were two people who had been walking around the campus recently. Sasaki and Mei, special operations agents of the Overseas Operation Team 2 belonging to the Cab Investigation Office. Although they were still new agents in their mid-twenties, they were secretly dispatched to Korea for the reason that they could be integrated into the university without a sense of alienation, and because they were judged to havebat and operational capabilities that did not yield to other veteran agents. They were monitoring every move of their target. Whats special about it? It''s lunchtime and Sasaki goes to buy something to eat. As she casually epted the bread and milk in his hands, May spoke as if she were bored. There is nothing special about it. I''m in the middle of a lecture right now and it''s supposed to be out in 20 minutes. Because today is Wednesday... and waiting for that girl, you must be sitting in a corner holding onto your smartphone. Mei takes a bite while tearing open the bag of bread. She frowned and grumbled, as if she was annoyed just thinking about it. Why the hell is the upper management telling me to kidnap such a strange person? No matter how you look at it, you don''t look much different from those creepy fucking otakus. fat look. Jae-Kyun is the owner of oversized sses and an unbearably entric fashion sense. No matter how public it was, Mei felt distressed just looking into his daily life. No, are you dating a girl named Chaeyeon? Why don''t you do something together while waiting like that? No matter how much it is a mission and it is a mission, they say that you have to watch it 24 hours a day, but if you just watch it, you''ll be really upset and you won''t be able to see it? What kind of rtionship can a guy like this have? It seems that the appearance is filthy and ugly, and the notice is not filthy. Just watching Mei makes you feel like you''ve stuffed dozens of sweet potatoes into your mouth without water. She was full of dissatisfaction because there were countless things she wanted to bet on, but Sasaki said that she was not interested. Don''t pay undue attention to your target, Mei. It''s not necessary for the operation anyway. Why does it have nothing to do with the operation? If you have to kidnap that child, it would be nice to use it as a means of intimidation so that you can cooperate with us as obediently as possible. Mei proudly refutes that this is all because of the operation. However, Sasaki tried to say something, but soon took a deep breath with a tired face and said. An order came from the top. what....? Mei opened her eyes wide in surprise at those words. To her, Sasaki sent an email to her smartphone. This is... Ad copy that just looks like normal spam mail. However, May''s face hardened as she read the true meaning hidden within certain rules. [Issued the order to execute the operation. Deliver the target to the specified coordinates. No additional support.] An order from the superior to finally carry out the operation delivered to them. It was a moment she had been waiting for since she had spent more than a month, but Mei was clearly perplexed by the phrase left at the end. Additional support is impossible...? So, are we really going to kidnap that otaku just the two of us? Can not help it. Most of the resources of the Cab Investigation Office''s Overseas Operation Office were lost after the that'' gunfight that took ce inside Korea. Since most of them are saving themselves, there must have been a big crowd at the top. Due to the worst covert operation ever carried out at a middle school a few years ago, the informationwork of the world''s intelligence agencies in Korea was almost destroyed. Genius boy Kim Min-soo. Intelligence agencies around the world decided that it was a golden opportunity to intercept Minsu, a world-renowned figure, after receiving a tip that the Chinese intelligence agency was trying to kidnap him. They had an unintentional affair (?) and created a first-of-its-kind incident involving a fierce gunfight at a middle school in Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea, and as a result canceled a middle school athletic meet. As a bonus, in the search for the government of the Republic of Korea and the National Intelligence Service, which had their eyes turned over, secret safe houses and information factors that had been umted were pulled out like candy. The bottom line is that the two of us have to kidnap him and take him to Busan Port. We don''t have enough people, so we can''t afford to kidnap that girl. That''s why Sasaki tells her not to pay attention to a girl who says she''s Chaeyeon or something. However, Mei frowned as if she was embarrassed. Wait a minute..... If I have to take you all the way to Busan, I''m running out of time, right? Right now, we have to secure the target and move before midnight today. A n from the top that ispletely iprehensible. But Sasaki shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn''t help it. There is nothing we can do about it as the ship of the ghostpany secretly operated by the Cab Investigation Office departs tomorrow. If I miss this period, I will have to wait at least a month, so even if it''s tight, I''ll do my best. And today, the target will be waiting alone until 6:00, so there is no big deal to kidnap. Sasaki says that other things are nothing to worry about. However, they could not hide their bewilderment when they saw where the target was heading after exiting the building where the lecture room was located. uh....? This... A target heading in a different direction than usual. They were taken aback by the fact that it was different from their usual route of waiting for the girl they liked, and they were taken aback by the fact that there was someone apanying them. It looks like youre heading towards the campus exit? Other guests followed suit. Sasaki frowned as if he was really annoying. When he showed an irritated reaction for the first time, who usually showed only a calm appearance, May smiled strangely and asked with a mixed look on her face. What are you going to do? And Sasaki pondered for a moment at that question, then spoke with a cold gaze. Once... they catch up. And aim for the right time to secure the target and move right away. The situation has been greatly distorted from the original n. However, Sasaki couldn''t give up the operation at all, so he thought of kidnapping him even if it was forced. That friend...? Did you say your name was Yoon Jae-young? A person walking with Lim Jae-gyun, their target. May asked, watching him walk in step with his insufferable otaku target, though his face was full of boredom and weariness. It looks like they''ll always stick together... Will there ever be a moment when they''re alone? No matter how well trained a special operation agent is, it is a burdensome situation to kidnap two adult men and drag them to Busan. That''s why Sasaki looked at the back of the two and pondered for a while before speaking. First of all... lets make a decision while looking at the situation. Touching the handle of the pistol hidden behind his back with one hand, he murmured with his eyes full of life. We refrain from killing people as much as possible, but... if necessary, we will eliminate them without dy. Chapter 313 Chapter 313 The Butterfly Effect (4) Lim Jae -gyun, a 21-year-old Korean man. He was born into an ordinary middle-ss family and had nothing special about him except for his rather bleak school days. However, with the advent of virtual reality technology, Jaekyun''s talent shined through, and his status began to soar without knowing how high it was. [In the arduous process of creating the League of Legends, Mr. Lim''s ability to implement was truly phenomenal. His ability to handle in less than half a day what should have been sold out for a month with dozens of veteran designers sticking to him... Really makes no sense.] Lucid Dream, a virtual reality integrated creator. His ability to use this device more freely than anyone else and show maximum efficiency has attracted the attention of numerouspanies that have been eyeing virtual reality technology, and the insane video he submitted for boredom is literally his poprity and recognition at the peak. raised to the heights. [I apud the boundless imagination of Mr. Lim, who knows no limits. We will do our best to cooperate so that you will not regret the decision of choosing Mizunisa to make the second part of The Space Invasion of Earless Cat Robots'', which was submitted to this contest. Also.....] Sangsang Daejeon SF category grand prize. Receiving an enormous amount of 10 billion won as prize money was not enough, so the chairman of Mizunisa, the strongest yer in the entertainment industry, directly praised him and even announced that he would make his next work. Thanks to his appearances in front of cameras here and there, he gained wealth, fame, and poprity that he could not have imagined before, but in return, forces targeting him appeared. He is currently one of the most talented people in Korea. He was one of the key personnel involved in the production of the League of Legends remake, one of Arcadia''s core projects, and it has been confirmed that he is involved in various projects and has a close rtionship with Arcadia. Jae-kyun caught in the surveincework of the Japanese Cab Investigation Office. Analysts who valued him suggested kidnapping him as one of the best responses to the retaliatory action. The risk is much lower than touching the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., but it is a talent that is judged to be highly effective. Considering that he is still young, it will be easy for him to coax or appease. The Korean government will not be able toe out as strong as one college student has disappeared. Arcadia Co., Ltd. is designated as one of the national key strategic technologies and is strongly protected. Therefore, unlike the executives and employees who were carefully managed by the Korean government for the purpose of protection and monitoring, concerned about technology leakage, Jae-gyun, who was only a mere frencer, was outside the attention of the public authorities. Considering the currently weak informationwork in Korea that has not yet been fully established... the target is the most optimal target for abduction. For these reasons, Jae-gyun has be the most easy target. However, without knowing that, he is living a normal life, spending time on campus with Jae-young, his only college friend after a long time. Jaeyoung, why are you still living in your own room? huh? self-catering? Why is that all of a sudden? No.... I wondered if you could actually live in a bigger and better house... The undisputed owner of the worlds No. 1 channel with over billions of subscribers and the dominant yer who dominates the game of virtual reality Arcadia. The yer dex of the holder of influence. Jae-young, who never told me clearly, is probably earning an enormous amount of money every month. However, the ce he was living in was an old one-room vige that was cramped and run down at first nce. just? It''s close to the school, and it doesn''t need to berge anyway. Its annoying because the space to be cleaned only getsrger. Jaeyoung spends most of her time in her own room anyway, either in a capsule or on a bed. That''s why he didn''t feel ufortable at all during his life, so he didn''t even think about moving, but Jae-gyun made a strange expression at Jae-young''s answer. Is that so? I am looking for a slightly bigger house this time. okay? Yeah..... I received a prize money, and I got quite a bit more money than I thought.... He became rich in tens of billions in an instant due to the amount of 10 billion won and the down payment for the next film of the crazy video. In a situation where he had achieved economic freedom enough to y and eat for the rest of his life at the age of only 21, Jae-kyun was surrounded by all kinds of people who were trying to somehow get a piece of soybean paste, sending eyes full of envy, jealousy, and envy. However, Jae-kyun, who had spent his lonely school days with no one around, was starting to feel ufortable with the heavy attention and poprity of people. I have an apartment where I looked. It''s very close to our school, and there are 5 rooms. The living room is very spacious and you can see the Han River, so the scenery is really nice. There are many convenient facilities around, and the best thing is... Jae- Kyun lists the good points of the apartment he has seen. However, as he looked at Jaeyoung, who was listening to the story with a sullen expression, as if he was not interested at all, he soon gathered his courage and brought up a story he wanted to tell. That... so... Jaeyoung, would you like to live there with me...? tall. Jaeyoung stops at that moment. Then he turned around with an expression that he didn''t hear well and looked at Jaekyun and asked. what....? That''s... there''s a lot of space anyway, and it''s boring to be alone... and the room you''re in right now looks too cramped, and just thinking about this and that... Jaeyoung''s lukewarm reaction Jae-gyun, who hesitates to say anything with a face that shows a clear embarrassment. For a long time, heid out all sorts of reasons, but soon he confessed his feelings with a reddened face as if he was confessing. It''s just... I don''t have any friends to live with other than you... ..... Plump appearance. An iprehensible fashion sense. On top of that, there are the notices and stuffy behaviors that make the viewer angry. Jae-kyun, who has lived his entire life without a single good friend for all sorts ofplex reasons. That''s why he didn''t want to miss Jae-yeong, who is like a true friend who can confide deeply for the first time in college and share various stories without any stake. Of course, it was a proposal that was too burdensome for Jaeyoung who heard it. This damn bastard...?'' To be honest, Jae-young doesn''t feel the need to move house. However, knowing how much courage Jae-kyun had just said to him and knowing that he would be hurt if he rejected the offer, he couldn''t help but hesitate in this awkward situation. And soon, he began to seriously consider Jae-kyun''s proposal. Anyway, it doesn''t matter if you move out of your own room after the one-year period is over, and the condition of the house is also spectacle, so it''s true that it''s a bit inconvenient... However, it is a proposal that Jae-young has nothing to lose as he can also save on the monthly rent that goes out every month. That''s why he looked at Jae-kyun, who was swallowing saliva with a nervous expression, for a moment, and then said. good. Really? step. There are conditions. condition....? What is that? Jae-gyun, who couldn''t believe the unexpected positive answer, looked at him. However, Jae-young put several conditions on him in return for living together. I will make an exception for all chores except cleaning my room. Never disturb while connected to the game. Each person should take care of what they ate and do the dishes. And the most important thing... Jaeyoung said with a very serious face while putting off all the troublesome chores. Dont ever talk like youre confessing something while talking about this again. Jae-young felt dirty (?) as if he had been confessed to by a girl who had been admiring him for a long time. Seeing Jae-gyun offer to live together with such a thrill and nervous expression, Jae-young did not want to experience such a strangely unpleasant experience again. Yes! I will. Are you trying to confess to Chaeyeon like this? I''m putting up with it because it''s me, if it''s just someone else, I ran away a long time ago. Jae-young gives advice to Jae-gyun with a mix of jokes and sincerity. At his words, Jaekyun muttered, scratching his head as if embarrassed. Hehe... Actually, I''ve already confessed several times. Eh? really? Jae-kyun said he had already told Chae-yeon about his feelings. Jaeyoung was surprised at the fact that he didn''t know at all, and asked back, but his answer was even more shocking. Yeah... but they say they all fail. It''s a failure...? That''s... the confession was so t that it didn''t make my heart flutter at all... He told me to think about something a little more novel and stimting. ...? A story that ispletely iprehensible. However, Jaeyoung looked at him nkly and opened his mouth to say something, then let out a deep sigh and said. Ugh. Yes..... do as you please. I like it, but who can say what? Two people who seem to have gone far beyond the normal range. In a way, Jae-young, who even thought that they were the most suitable match in nature, said to Jae-gyun. Then... we have a lot of time anyway, so shall we go see the apartment you looked at? uh? really? Jae-Kyun is delighted with Jae-Young''s proposal to move into an apartment or go sightseeing. In response to his question, Jaeyoung nodded. Still, if I want to go in and live there, I have to look around and see where it was formed and how it was eaten. I have about three hours until dinner anyway, so I think that would be enough... But at that moment. Jaeyoung couldn''t finish what he was saying at the feel of cold metal behind his back. Dont panic and act calmly. You''d better not even dream of any nonsense like screaming. You will regret it. Korean words full of threatening life. However, unlike the cold-faced man who seemed fluent and warned in a foreign tone, the pretty woman clinging to Jae-kyun''s side smiled brightly and acted aegyo. oh. hello baby I havent seen you in a really long time. From a distance, the two of them cling to each other with a friendly feeling, as if they were a group of friends. And soon, the two of them naturally took Jaeyoung and Jaekyun into an unidentified van parked at the driveway of the alleyway. Who the hell are you all...? Why all of a sudden....? Unlike Jae-young, who silently follows with a stiff face, Jae-gyun tries to resist with a panicked face. But then the woman, who was clinging to Jaekyun''s forearm with a smile on her face, whispered in a very cold voice. If you dont want to see your friend die here, youd better get in the car right now. The gun stabbing Jaeyoung in the back. Jae-kyun froze with a frightened expression at the action of the two trying to take him somewhere with a weapon that was never easily found in Korea, but soon began to calm down at Jae-young''s words. Its okay, so lets just type. Yes....? If I had tried to harm her anyway, I wouldnt have bothered to take her this way. I don''t know what they want from us... Two unknown people. However, Jae-young, sensing that there must be something bigger behind the fact that he was carrying a gun, nced at the man standing behind him and said. Once you y it to the tune, you wont die. Jae-young and Jae-kyun are kidnapped in the middle of a studio town with such arge poption. But no one noticed that the two had disappeared. Except for just one being. [Detecting anomalies. Detecting domestic activities of Japanese government agents.] [Analyzing the contents of the operation.....Risk assessment...] Chapter 314 Chapter 314 Butterfly Effect (5) First Smartphone G-1. This small machine thatpletely changed the way of life and culture of all mankind was sold out in an instant and spread so fast that no one could stop it all over the earth. And the essential operating system Argos that drives this smartphone. Boasting strong security and convenience, and at the same time being lightweight, this system, powered by this perfect program, formed a huge surveincework over the entire. It is like the eyes of Argos, a legendary giant that monitors a set target 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without closing it anytime, anywhere. [Identification of secret agents of the Japanese government. Securing the identity data.] Argos'' artificial intelligence system that can ess all kinds of secret information by freely and secretly essing databases of all countries in the world. He obtained details of the operation being conducted in Korea in real time and soon began analyzing the extent of the threat. [Operation Red Cherry Blossoms (t). factor kidnapping. Identification of the target...] The operation is being conducted as a top-secret case while maintaining top-level security. However, it was so ridiculous that Argos, who confirmed the purpose and goal of the operation and everything that Japan nned and hoped for through it, began to analyze the risk. [Attempt to steal virtual reality technology. No risk... none.] A target who is neither an employee of Arcadia Co., Ltd. nor a college student who is not involved in core research. Originally, Argos would just pass without taking any countermeasures if it was judged not to be a direct threat, but he soon detected a peculiarity. [Unusual detection. The connection with the top manager is captured.] The two are being kidnapped by an agent of the Cab Investigation Office and are being taken to the Port of Busan. Argos, who was keeping an eye on one of them, decided to take an unusual action. [Transfer action for the information.] Lastly, Argos turned its eyes to the vast sea of data again by handing over the rted information to Arcadia Co., Ltd., which is fully responsible for virtual reality technology. To carry out its mission of monitoring all forces that threaten the national security of the United States and threaten its creator and chief administrator. * * * President Lee Mi-yeon, who was sitting in the office as usual and handling business. She put down the report she was reading, focusing on the sudden and urgent warning message. [I received urgent information from Manager Argos.] Huh? What do you mean all of a sudden? Is this urgent information? [Please check the relevant data.] At Alice''s words, CEO Lee Mi-yeon checked the data in the newly sent email to herputer. And as she read the e-mail, her face hardened. Is this... real? [That''s right. It is judged that the Japanese government is taking direct retaliatory measures for a series of recent incidents.] The Japanese continent is heading toward catastrophe inside Arcadia. As one empire copsed, the powerful forces supporting the two empires copsed to a level close to annihtion due to a new weapon called a magic turret, and the Japanese continent was literally having a more chaotic time than ever. - This damnpany. Are you going to let the game fail like this? - An evilpany that deliberately enjoys suffering Japanese users. perish! - Will the Japanese government stand by and watch these atrocities! Direct government intervention! Amid the simmering public sentiment, President Lee Mi-yeon''s outspoken remarks were added as if adding oil, and a fanciful party broke out. In addition, they blew away all of the Japanese government''s knapsacks remaining in Arcadia Co., Ltd., so it was as if they had a superpower. No matter what, you''re going to openly move like this? The Japanese governmentmits a reckless and dangerous crime of abducting people in broad daylight on normal Korean soil. If the operation failed, the aftermath would be enormous beyond imagination, so it was an act that President Lee Mi-yeon could not understand at all. [ording to information received from Argos, the kidnappers n to stow away to Japan via a regr cargo ship of a ghost shippingpany operated by the Cab Investigation Office, which is docked in Busan Port. There are still... 9 hours, 24 minutes and 15 seconds until the vessel departs.] A regr cargo ship departing early in the morning. Considering that it is now dinner time and everyone is leaving work, the time to respond is infinitely tight. That''s why Alice asked President Lee Mi-yeon. [What would you like to do?] What? [The reason Argos passed this information on to me is because yer Dex''s job is rted to the Chief Administrator. However, we judged that there would be no significant risk from the leak of Arcadia and virtual reality technology just because the two recruits were transferred to Japan . situation. That''s why Alice spoke to President Lee Mi-yeon in a really dry tone. [In my judgment, it is rmended not to intervene.] Alice exists for the purpose of operating Arcadia, a virtual realitypany and the interests of Arcadia. The advice was given because everything else was unnecessary and meaningless, but President Lee Mi-yeon thought about her words for a while and then sighed. Ha..... Why, of course, do you take our ident-prone customers and make things so difficult? What if... If Jae-kyun had taken only one person, she might have closed her eyes and ignored her. However, as long as he took the other person who had already be a secret friend, Lee Mi-yeon had no choice. Can you roughly match the information provided by Alice Argos by limiting it to the level obtained from our secretariat? [It is possible. But in order to do that, most of the information has to be limited.] Information organized to a near-perfect level. However, in order to spill the contents to the Korean government, which waspletely unaware of these facts, it had to be limited to a certain level of usibility. However, in the current situation, it is impossible to argue between cold and hot rice, so CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded with a hard face. I can''t help it. Please, I can only pray that the Korean government is much wiser than I expect. * * * The National Intelligence Service (NIS), a secret intelligence agency under the direct control of the South Korean government. This agency, which collects information from all forces threatening national security at home and abroad and is in charge of counterintelligence activities, was caught off guard by a sudden intelligence report. Quaang. You fucking bastards! Japanese guys are still running around like this in Korea, but didnt you understand that? The director of the National Security Agency, who was very angry, was screaming and throwing reports and everything else he could get his hands on. Should the secretariat of apany inform us of the movements of Japanese intelligence agents? What the hell are you guys doing getting paid! Even if these idiots disgrace the NIS, they disgrace it like this! Are you all crazy? uh! Director Choi Chan-shik shouted for a long time to see if his anger was not resolved and turned the entire situation room upside down. In the cold situation room in silence where you can''t hear a single ant crawling. After taking a deep breath for a moment, he issued an order in a cold voice. (Co.) Arcadia kindly provided us with CCTV cameras showing the faces of the culprits. A neat one with the type and number of the car the kidnappers are in. Arcadia Co., Ltd. sent CCTV footage of the crime scene recorded in high resolution to find out how it was obtained. Feeling the filthy feeling of crushing his pride and self-esteem as a member of the NIS again, the director growled with a lifelike look. Give it 24 hours. Whatever you do, find the whereabouts of those damn monkeys and bring them to me alive. Bring those two people who were kidnapped back unscathed. The director said he would give a deadline of 24 hours. And he said it in a very sincere voice. If you paint my face again this time... I''ll bet my all on you and turn your path into a filthy, filthy field of shit, so look forward to it. That''s how dozens of agents of the NIS risked their careers and began a blood-drying chase for 24 hours. To find secret agents from the Japanese Cab Investigation Office who suddenly popped out of nowhere and two ordinary college students who were kidnapped by them. * * * Jae-Young and Jae-Gyun are kidnapped by the sudden appearance of the gangsters. As the two menacing them with a gun and taking them somewhere, Jae-gyun whimpered and begged them to let them go. Hey..... please... I''ll give you whatever money you want, so please just release it. I wont even report it. Jaekyun is sobbing with tears dripping down his cheeks. However, a man who does not show any reaction to him and does not let go of his guard threateningly, pointing a gun at him. As if he had experienced this situation several times, his cold attitude made Jaeyoung''s head spin quickly. Given that they are carrying a gun, it is highly likely that they are not ordinary kidnappers...'' Korean with a subtle ent. On top of that, Jae-young could easily guess that the target they were aiming for was Jae-gyun, as he spewed out his life as if he didn''t mind killing him and used it as a means to intimidate Jae-gyun so that he couldn''t resist. If you have to kidnap Jae-gyun and the purpose is something other than money... It must be rted to virtual reality technology, then China? Or Japan? If it''s not that, it might be a third country.....'' Jae-young puts together the puzzles one by one, making inferences about the situation that is vaguely taking ce. And after a moment''s thought, he swallowed his saliva and decided to scoop them up. Stop crying Jaekyun. I don''t think you''ll let me go anyway. It''s soundproofed so it won''t leak outside, but the situation where his cries get loud enough to hurt your ears. So, at Jaeyoung''s words to be quiet, Sasaki opened his mouth for the first time, looking at him with strange eyes, who had maintained a strangely resolute and calm attitude from the moment he was kidnapped. You are a friend who is quicker to judge the situation than I thought. After all, its worth keeping alive without killing him. A useful means of pacifying those immature targets. Judging that it would be helpful for the future journey if used well, he nted hope with a fishy smile. do not worry. Because you are not our goal in the first ce. Unfortunately, circumstances forced us to bring them along, but if we cooperate quietly, you might be able to return home safely. Of course, Sasaki hinted at the possibility that he could return alive, although he had no intention of doing so in order to ensure the sessfulpletion of the operation. However, he couldn''t help but lose hisposure at the moment that came out of Jaeyoung''s mouth. I dont think so. If the Japanese intelligence agency is carrying out such an illegal secret operation in another country, there is no way they can send a direct witness alive and return? what....? Japanese intelligence...? what does that mean? Sasaki''s face, which had been wearing a fishy smile, was distorted in an instant. Jae-gyun looked at him and Jae-yeong''scent expression in bewilderment and asked, forgetting that they had been crying until just now. Why is the Japanese government kidnapping me? Wait a minute, then these kidnappers are not just ordinary criminals... agents of the Japanese intelligence agency...? Jae-kyun muttered with a white face as if in shock. As a college student who lived a very ordinary life, it was an extraordinary event that could not be easily epted. At that moment when he lost his mind, Sasaki put the gun between Jaeyoung''s forehead with a very stern face and growled in a murderous voice. You bastard... what is your true identity? Chapter 315 Chapter 315 The Butterfly Effect (6) You bastard... How did you know about us? Could it be that it was a trick nted by the Korean government? Sasaki knows that there are agents of the Korean intelligence department nted everywhere to manage the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. That''s why he had to admit his identity for a moment at Jae-young''s attitude so calm. However, to Sasaki''s question, Jaeyoung answered with apletely ignorant face. no? Did you just take a picture? what....? A very stupid answer. However, Jaeyoung shrugged and replied as if it was obvious. A kidnapper with poor Korean and a gun that is never easily found in Korea. Seeing that he was waiting to kidnap Jae-kyun, but he didn''t respond at all to his plea for money, he must have been aiming for information rted to Arcadia''s virtual reality technology, right? If so, there is a high possibility that he is an agent of the intelligence department of another country. Jae-young calmly and calmly puts together various puzzles with only the given information. At his exnation, Sasaki lost hisposure and realized that he had made a mistake and kept his mouth shut. The fact that you are from Japan? There was no circumstance to know that it was Japan. However, Jaeyoung smiled and pointed at a road sign that could be seen through the windshield. We are heading to Busan, right? If our destination had been China... wouldn''t we have taken them to Incheon, which is much closer than Busan, which is far away? ..... Grounds that cannot be refuted at all. However, Sasaki, who looked at Jae-young withplex and delicate eyes, said that he had deduced so easily a fact that ordinary people could not easily infer. You bastard... you weren''t an ordinary college student. And at his words, Jaeyoung smiled broadly. sure. Not only is he not an ordinary college student, but he is probably more valuable to the Japanese government than Jaekyun? What do you mean? Sasaki asks back with a look that he can''t understand Jae-young''s words that he will be more valuable than his target, Jae-gyun. In response to his question, Jaeyoung asked with a face that he really didn''t know. You really don''t know? It seems that the Japanese government iscking in information gathering capabilities more than I thought. I''m sure no one at Seomin University doesn''t know my name... Sasaki growled with an annoyed face as if he couldn''t understand Jaeyoung''s muttering with a surprised face. Dont keep talking round and round, speak straight. Who the hell are you... The most important synchro rate in driving a virtual reality system. Interrupting Sasaki''s words, Jaeyoung said with a smile of repentance. I am the one with the highest synchro rate on this. what....? Sasaki is instantly stunned by thepletely unexpected story. With one hand, lightly pushing the gun pointed at his forehead, Jaeyoung smiled and said with a rxed attitude. The story of kidnapping and dragging us away instead of killing us means that... the Japanese government wants technology rted to virtual reality... or recruiting talented people like Jaekyun, right? Jae-young understands and uses the situation he is in faster than anyone else. He asked, looking at Sasaki who couldn''t say anything with a stiff face as if he had been stabbed. Then lets talk about it properly. What do you want from us and what can the Japanese government do for you? * * * Eight hours after Jaeyoung and Jaekyun were kidnapped. President Lee Mi-yeon sat in her office and anxiously waited for a call from the National Intelligence Service, but contrary to her expectations, the phone was very quiet. How is Alices current situation? Alice canmunicate directly with Argos. She was silent for a moment at CEO Lee Mi-yeon''s question, and then gave the answer. [Currently, the two hostages have safely arrived at Busan Port and are currently loaded onto a camouge vessel prepared for stowaways and are waiting to depart for Japan.] Are both of them safe? [Currently, it is analyzed as such.] A vessel under the Cab Investigation Office anchored in Busan Port. Lee Mi-yeon, who checked the video footage of Jae-young and Jae-kyun, who were detained by force, muttered with a frown on her face. Like these stupid NIS agents. No, what the hell are you supposed to do if you can''t swallow even though you''ve been feeding this much? The information provided is limited as far as possible in order not to raise any doubts. So, although the information on the personal information of the two kidnapped people and the vehicle they were riding was limited, Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, was secretly hoping that the best intelligence agency in Korea would solve it somehow. However, contrary to her expectations, the appearance of the National Intelligence Service in this kidnapping case was simply ipetent. How much time is left? [Currently, there are 2 hours left until departure.] After 2 hours, Jae-gyun and Jae-young will leave Korea and go to Japan. However, it was a very difficult situation for President Lee Mi-yeon to directly intervene. Cant we handle it on our own? [No. As long as the National Intelligence Service is aware of the case, further intervention or provision of information can significantly increase the risk of having doubts about the case. I advise you to consider other options for your safety.] As long as you don''t know, as long as you know that the two have already been kidnapped, if you move further than that, your suspicions about Arcadia could be amplified. Since the existence of Argos and the security of Project Prism are of the highest priority, Ellis somehow persuaded Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, to prevent the two from being kidnapped to Japan. [The threat the two pose to the security of Arcadia and the United States is close to 0%. It seems to be a reasonable decision not to be involved in the case any further.] No matter how talented and potential talents are, they are just criminals who practically do not know anything about virtual reality technology. That''s why Argos and Ellis were also judged not to be a threat, but President Lee Mi-yeon had a different idea. No, I dont care about that friend named Jae-gyun, but since Jae-yeongs influence in Arcadia has grown too much, I cant help it. [I don''t understand what the manager is saying.] Alice asked what he was talking about. President Lee Mi-yeon gave her an order with a meaningful expression on her face. Excluding the existence of Alice yer Dex, make a long-term prediction scenario. What will happen as it is, without adding any other variables. [Confirmmand. I envision a prediction scenario applying that variable.] Uh-uh. Alice, a transcendent artificial intelligence that contemtes and analyzes everything in Arcadia. Far beyond human understanding and thinking, she made full use of her vastputing power and quickly began to predict what would happen in Arcadia in the future. [Night of Perdition] [Festival of Blood] [Hell in this World] [Release of the Forbidden Seal] [Human Arrogance] [Rage of the Dragon] . . . The rice cakes of the great epics who slept in Arcadia. At least 10 years... no, it should have been revealed decadester... All the clues to the grandiose scenarios that no one could easily handle had been revealed, so there was a chance to deal with the narratives in Arcadia that will be opened in the future. The user did not exist. That''s why Alice was able to realize that in the hundreds and thousands of scenarios unraveling in countless ways, they all end up with the same ending. [Scenario No. 1 perish] [Scenario No. 2 perish] [Scenario No. 3 Perish] . . . [Scenario No. 2523 Destruction] The process was all different, but in the end, all the scenarios in which ignorant users opened Pandora''s box that they couldn''t even handle and ended up in destruction. That''s why Alice was able to realize why CEO Lee Mi-yeon was trying so hard to save him. [Scenario predictionplete. If that variable is excluded, Arcadia will perish 100% within a minimum of 2 months and a maximum of 5 years.] Arcadia will walk the path of destruction with a 100% chance. When the guess he had guessed was correct, CEO Lee Mi-yeon sighed and muttered with an annoyed face. No, why the hell did you put in the second half crisis scenario or what the hell? If it wasn''t for that, this wouldn''t have happened..... Hundreds... thousands of second half crisis scenarios that Kim Min-soo conceived and put together with Jack. She felt dizzy just thinking about the fact that there were bombs scattered all over the continent that would bring about a very powerful and dangerous crisis that could destroy Arcadia. [ording to the saved database.... The top manager said, To make the game fun and not boring, you must create a huge risk in the second half. That''s how people get immersed in the game with a thrill.''] Scenarios that Minsu, who has a natural talent for sticking huge and bulky candy into people''s mouths, came up with himself. Even if all the adventurers and Arcadia NPCs work together, they are gigantic scenarios with a perverted level of difficulty that cannot be guaranteed to be prevented, so President Lee Mi-yeon could not give up Jae-young even to prevent them. To be honest... If it''s him, wouldn''t he blink an eye even if this Arcadia were to walk the path of destruction? [It is analyzed that it is probably so. If it is the best administrator''s tendency... Rather than the administrator intervening to prevent destruction, he will choose to terminate Arcadia''s service orpletely reset it.] Unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. The creator of these two mottos, and the one who turned Arcadia into a world out of control. Kim Min Soo. It was clear that he wouldn''t blink an eye to bring down the shutters of Arcadia, which is entangled with billions of subscribers and numerous national corporations, or to blow up all user data overnight. began to shine vividly. [what? Since Arcadia has been destroyed, they''repletely resetting the server?] [Is this damnpany really kidding lol] [Why did they say that they operate at the level of shit mangem, but now they''re just going to go?] [ You fuckin bastards! give me my money! My help!!!!] [Infinite freedom? infinite possibilities? You bastards should do that to the fullest!] [You bastards who will do XXXX and XXXXX. With the boss! Where did the boss go!!!!] With Arcadiapletely initialized. A riot of billions of users who were very angry about it. Recalling the office building of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which will be smashed to pieces simultaneously all over the world, and imagining her own miserable future as the scapegoat and shield as the final responsible person for all this, President Lee Mi-yeon trembled without realizing it. No..... That''s absolutely not possible... CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who doesn''t want to die from being stabbed to death by an unknown assant on the street or beaten to death by an angry crowd. So, with a hard face, she asked one person to contact her. Call Ellis Jennica. At the age of only 15, he became the head of the world''srgest biopany Silico The Bio Industry. The only granddaughter of bloodless, bloodless mad scientist Silikoff Paul, and the second most insane person in the world. To Jenica Paul. Chapter 316 Chapter 316 Butterfly Effect (7) Kim Ha-jin, acting president and prime minister. Even though it waste in the morning when everyone was asleep, he was sitting and facing one person with a serious face. This is very surprising. To invite an unwee guest at dawn like this. As if he had foreseen this situation, the Japanese ambassador sits down and sips coffee with a calm face. Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin, who had only listened to his thorny remarks, thrust several photos in front of him with a serious face. Do you know who these people are? CCTV photos provided by Arcadia Co., Ltd. Looking at the photo of the faces of the assants pushing the two people into therge van, the Japanese ambassador did not change his face and asked with a puzzled face. Who is this? These are the faces I''ve never seen before... The Japanese ambassador denies that he doesn''t know. However, Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin said with a flushed face as if in a huff at his too calm attitude. Stop the nonsense, Japanese Ambassador. We have already figured out that those two are secret agents sent by the Japanese government. Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin speaks directly about their identities without paying attention to diplomatic investigations. However, the Japanese ambassador spoke with a very shameless face. The Japanese government is not currently carrying out any illegal operations in Korea. I am concerned that the future diplomatic rtions between the two countries will be negatively affected by making remarks that defame the honor of the home country on such a ridiculous charge. He speaks calmly and quietly, but in reality, the answer is no different from a counter-threat. At the same time, he picked up the photo with an interesting look and muttered as if talking to himself. And even if... even if these two are Japanese, they probably arent acting under any special instructions. However, considering the recent horrors, there may be some who cannot hold back their resentment and identally take extreme actions. Even if the abductees were Japanese, all of this wasmitted by Japanese individuals'' voluntarily, not by the Japanese government.'' The Japanese ambassador who is trying toy the groundwork to evade responsibility by saying such nonsense. However, the face of Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin, who had no way of understanding what was going on, began to distort. You say that now? A certain ordinary person avoids the NIS''s pursuit and like this... Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin, who was about to shout excitedly, realized his mistake and shut his mouth with an apologetic face. He couldn''t spit in my face in front of an ambassador from another country while talking about how the South Korean intelligence agency waspletely killing it, so he shut his mouth with a shitty face. First of all, we understand the concerns of the Korean government. In the future, we, the Japanese people, who have be emotional about the tragedy that took ce in virtual reality, may express their anger toward the Republic of Korea through sudden or idental actions, so the Japanese government will also look into these issues internally. Acting President . The Japanese ambassador smiles and puts down his coffee cup and gets up from his seat. He looked down at the Prime Minister with the corner of his mouth raised as if in a mockery, and left after leaving hisst words. I know very well that the current situation inside the Republic of Korea is dizzy. Please, I sincerely hope that this situation will end amicably without bringing more confusion to the chaotic political situation. That... that damn bastard... The Japanese ambassador called himself, deliberately emphasizing the word Acting President. However, he could not bear to refute thest words left by the Japanese ambassador. The whole country has been turned upside down due to the impeachment of President Jeon Ki-chan. In such a messy atmosphere, he temporarily took the ce of the president, but if he gets caught up in another superrge scandal like this, it was a video without knowing who would get all the shit. That cant be done..... How did Ie this far... He was promised key positions in the next administration by two major political parties in return for cooperating with the current impeachment situation. He trembled his legs with an uneasy face, knowing that the road ahead would flow smoothly only if he passed this time quietly without any major problems. ..... Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin pondered for a long time. And he soon called the director of the National Intelligence Service, who was waiting in another room. Did you call? ah. Would you like to get some fresh air? He takes the NIS director out to the balcony and smokes a cigarette. Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin, who lit the fire, inhaled the smoke and exhaled, told him of the decision he had made in his heart. Keep quiet about this. yes....? What is that...! The director of the National Intelligence Service asks back with an expression of iprehension at the moment. However, Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin cut off his words and said. Dont you, the director of the National Intelligence Service, know how noisy the current political situation is? If you and I are in the current situation, if a huge scandal like this breaks out, that will be the end of us all. A situation in which two Korean nationals were abducted in broad daylight by Japanese intelligence. If this incident became known to the media, it was clear that it would be immediately hit by an enormous amount of criticism from the public, so Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin was honest in wanting to quietly cover up this incident itself as something that never happened. We know that the two people kidnapped this time are talented people with exceptional talents rted to virtual reality technology, but didnt the NIS also judge that there would be no major threat to national security or technology leakage? That is true, but in the case of Lim Jae-gyun, he is evaluated as a talented person with overwhelming talent in the virtual reality industry and is a person who is evaluated to be of great help to the national interest. Giving up the rescue of the people of the Republic of Korea simply for political reasons... Why are there so many useless words? If you just want to cover it, cover it. The political situation is confusing for no reason, but making another diplomatic dispute with Japan is not helpful to the national interest. This is an order. Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin cuts him off and orders him to cover it up with a high-handed attitude. Then, the NIS chief said with a hard face. President Jeon Chan would not have made this decision. However, at his words, Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin muttered in a self-deprecating voice as he flicked a burnt cigarette butt before leaving the ce. The electric president is over now. You''d better be smart if you don''t want to perish on that ship as well. ..... Director of the National Intelligence Service, who remained for a long time after Prime Minister Kim Ha-jin left. He didn''t say anything, just looked up with a bitter expression on his face. Just like the current situation in Korea, a sky full of pitch-ck darkness where you can''t even see an inch ahead. * * * An unknown desert in California. The Hive, Silicof''s secret research base nestled deep underground. Jenica, who spends most of her time working on all sorts of research, had her irritation index rise to the maximum level at the sudden call. No, what the hell are you talking about? Did Arcadiae to an end? Dark circles from not sleeping properly for a while, and the head of Silicorp, whose scattered silver hair flutters and his lifeless eyes shine. She couldn''t contain her absurdity as she heard the story of President Lee Mi-yeon, who was scratching her cheek with an embarrassed face. [Somehow it happened. The user who had the job Minsu envisioned... ended up having too much influence than expected. As a result, it has be an indispensable presence in Arcadia.] No.... What the hell did he do like a dog, so that such a situation even happens? Jenika, who has been working on all kinds of technology development and research for a while, has not been able to wake up. It was true that she hadn''t paid attention to Arcadia for quite some time, but she opened her mouth as she received a brief report on the situation in Arcadia, which had be a mess beyond imagination. So... even after resurrecting the world tree and uniting the continents, they made magic turrets or nabals, and even created the strange main scenario of the age of magic science at will... and even opened clues to theter crisis scenario. ? [yes. Oh andpletely blown up an empire. No..... Based on what I''ve blown up so far, there will be about one... two or three.] Dan Jae-young, who made such an enormous shit that it''s hard to believe that one person did it. Looking through the list of his splendid biographies, to the extent that it was difficult to even figure out the number, Jenika closed her eyes as if she was dizzy, took a deep breath, and then called out in a very cold voice. jack. Jack does not answer Jenica''s call. Then she opened her lifeless eyes and said. If you donte out right now, I know Ill just cut off your LAN cable. [Ugh! Did you call me?] Jack immediately jumps out at the threat of pulling out the LAN cable. However, he appeared on the monitor in the form of an avatar sweating profusely, as if something had stung him. Staring at Jack, who was trying to avoid his gaze with trembling eyes, Jennica asked in a calm tone that was so frightening. Im only going to ask you this once, so think carefully before answering. Did you create this situation Jack on purpose? [Huh...?] Did you induce the situation where Arcadia is going to shit? [Can that be? no! I just watched thoroughly. Just watched.] Jack''s reply that he wasn''t ying around with anything. Then Jenica stared at him without blinking. It''s a short time of less than one minute, but it''s a suffocating situation that''s close to eternity for the person concerned. However, it was Ellis who came to the rescue in this desperate crisis. [The top manager has never directly intervened inside Arcadia. All countermeasures taken so far were only countermeasures to what happened to the yer.] Artificial intelligence that operates only with reason and logic, without any emotion. In response to Elise''s testimony, where she inserted a merciless factual assault without blood or tears, Jennica repeatedly muttered and showed a lot of difort. And soon, he specified the target to pour out his anger. So... you''re saying it''s all because of that bastard who created that crazy job? [It is a reasonable conclusion to see that it is.] Kim Min-soo, who made the wandering song of the turbulent world. At Alice''s words that this was all because of him, Jenica gnashed her teeth with a bloody sound. Anyway, that bastard who will do XXXXXXXXXX by doing XXXXXX and XXXXXX is..... Jenica spits out cruel and bloody curses that are unbelievable for a 15-year-old girl. She spewed out a lot of murderous thoughts and snarled to herself and let out that anger. Soon after, she regained herposure when she saw President Lee Mi-yeon smiling awkwardly and asked again with a calm face. For now, lets sort things out. I dont know what the Japanese government was shot in the head for, but suddenly kidnapped that college student who was ying games quietly? [That''s right.] And... if that bastard is kidnapped, Arcadia will be destroyed sooner orter. [Eris expected it.] ..... She didnt quite understand why she was put in this situation, but Jennica sighed from the sudden fatigue from this absurd and annoying situation and picked up the phone. heard. hello? ah helen. I''m sorry, but I''m calling because I need some help. The Department of State is a key agency that oversees all foreign and foreign policy of the United States. Jennica, who called the Secretary of State, the head of the State Department, smiled so madly. Could you borrow the 7th Fleet for a moment? Chapter 317 Chapter 317 Butterfly Effect (8) Busan Port, a key logistics hub in Northeast Asia, handles an enormous amount of cargo every day. A strange air current was flowing inside one of the dozens of hundreds of ships leaving here and sailing around the world. We have finally obtained the cargo and are currently transporting it safely. It will leave Korea''s territorial waters and enter the high seas within the next two hours, and it will take about 19 hours to reach the home country. Sasaki reports via videomunication that the operation has been sessfullypleted and that he has returned. Director Yasuhiro of the Cab Investigation Office, looking at the rugged ship monitor, said with a big smile on his face that he couldn''t hide his joy. [You did really well even in a poor environment where you couldn''t even get proper support. It''s been hard. The head of department or the prime minister will be delighted with the achievements you have made.] I just did what I had to do. A gloomy past in which various maneuvers were prepared to extract virtual reality technology with grand goals, but none of them worked as nned. However, his eyes lit up with the anticipation that he would be able to produce practical results for the first time now. [So... that the one hostage you brought in this time is very unusual...?] Yasuhiro, who received a brief report in writing. In response to his question, Sasaki nodded and began to exin further. That''s right. A university student named Yoon Jae-young, who is friends with Lim Jae-gyun, who was originally our target, said that the synchro rate'', which ys the most key role in driving virtual reality technology, is higher than anyone else. Synchro rate, an indicator of the efficiency of all interactions between the human brain and machines. Hearing the report that this, the most important factor in utilizing virtual reality technology to the extreme level, reached as high as 92%, Director Yasuhiro muttered in surprise with a different face. [It''s quite surprising that such an outstanding talent was hiding in themon people''s university.] Perhaps the investigation team couldn''t help but identify that person. Basically, he had a tendency to be extremely reluctant to expose his identity internally and externally, and it seems that he was deliberately using his friend Jae-kyun''s fame to hide his reputation. Jae-young, who had been sticking to Lim Jae-gyun, the most famous person at Seomin University, and not revealing his presence because it was dark under themp. That''s why Director Yasuhiro''s smile grew thicker at the sudden appearance of another unexpected genius. [Then, we unintentionally secured two people who are regarded as the most outstanding talents in the virtual reality industry. Besides, both of them are showing willingness to cooperate with our government?] As a result of our conversations, the person named Jae-Young Yoon is more calcting and cunning than I thought. They said they would be willing to negotiate as long as the reward for their cooperation and the safety of the recruits were guaranteed. Unlike others who are uncooperatively vignt and hostile just because they were kidnapped, Sasaki was taken aback by Jae-young''s proposal to negotiate after recognizing the reality they were in so quickly. However, for the Japanese government, such a cooperative attitude was rather wee, so Director Yasuhiro nodded and said. [Then post-processing will be a little easier. If the Korean governmentter makes this issue an issue, it can be said that they voluntarily switched to our side.] With the expectation that this operation will bepleted more smoothly and smoothly than expected. And with a sense of relief that he could finally report the actual results to Prime Minister Abin, Director Yasuhiro said as he wrapped up the report on this operation. [Please do not let go of your guard until you return to your home country. Since the Korean government called the Japanese ambassador to Korea and said they strongly protested against this operation... I''m sure the other side is also pursuing them in every way to find you.] Since the ship has already sessfully left Busan Port, it''s almost over . this kidnapping operation. In less than two hours, they werepletely out of South Korean territorial waters, so even if they knew where they were, it was almost toote for the South Korean government to take action. That''s why Sasaki nodded, but heeded his warning indifferently. Without even knowing what great storm was brewing in the distance. * * * The United States of America, a hegemon in name and reality that exerts enormous influence over the world based on its mighty military and mighty economic power. President Pearson, the head of this great power, which refers to the leader of the free world camp, was stunned by the unexpected report from the Secretary of State. What do you mean? Did the Japanese government kidnap a Korean citizen? ording to information received from the chairman of Silicorp, it is one of the Japanese government''s secret operations to steal virtual reality technology. It was said that it was part of a retaliatory measure against the Korean government for the recent incidents and to secure talented people in the field of virtual reality. Ah, I guess you''re talking about the historical humiliation that''s been making a lot of noise on TV these days. President Pearson, who had recently received a report on international trends that Japan was frothing and going crazy over the subject of reenactment of a historical tragedy. He muttered while thinking about what happened at that time, then tilted his head and asked. But why didn''t Argos inform us of the threat? As far as I know, I have not received any reports regarding Japan... Argos provides all relevant information in real time as soon as a situation that poses a significant threat to the national security and interests of the United States is detected. Therefore, if this was a real threat to national interests, there was no way he was unaware of the situation in which the subject had already been kidnapped by the Japanese government and was being transported to Japan. There is no information that the Japanese government can find out about the abduction of the two. It is an undeniable fact that he is a talented person who shows outstanding ability in rtion to virtual reality technology, but... that is all. Based on his infinite imagination, Jaekyun has a strong ability to embody that no one dares to follow. Jae-young, who has the qualifications of being the world''s best gamer in name and reality, with monster-like physical and management skills. It was true that the abilities of the two were very unusual and special, but in the eyes of these two, who exert enormous influence around the world, they were nothing more than ordinary people. There is no real threat to American interests and security. However, it seemed that there could be situations that would cause headaches in many ways. Troublesome situation? President Pearson asked back with a questionable expression as if what he was talking about. To him, the Secretary of State corrected his spectacles and briefly exined the consequences of their absence. So... are you saying that if Jaeyoung Lee is not allowed to y Arcadia continuously, then Arcadia will eventually go down the path of destruction? Silikov said so. Helen shrugged her shoulders, as if she didn''t know exactly. However, she soon started talking in a low voice about the situation that would flow on the assumption that the things they were concerned about would happen. Arcadia is a giant pir supporting the entire virtual reality industry. If Arcadia perishes in a situation where there is no substitute for it, people''s trust in virtual reality will rapidly decline. Then, it will put a big brake on the next-generation future industry n that the President was nning. Umm... At Helens words, President Pearson flipped through the report in his hand with a slightly more serious face. After pondering for quite some time, he raised his head and asked the Secretary of State. What do you think, Helen? Do you see this as something we need to intervene directly? Seeing President Pearson ask for his thoughts, the Secretary of State replied with a bitter expression. Actually, we dont have a choice, Mr. President. What does that mean? If we dont move, it looks like the president of Silicoff will ask the other side directly. If it''s the other way... President Pearson freezes for a moment at Helen''s words and hardens his face. To him, with a strangely aloof face, she muttered as she picked up the report that was on the desk. It would be the best option for us to move independently, Mr. President. If he gets involved in this matter himself... I won''t even be able to handle the mess that will happen again. A prankster who disturbs this peaceful world. A being who wears an extremely evil smile and whoever touches him at all times, regardless of fire or recklessness, throws away all catfish in an outrageous way. Kim Min Soo. Pearson shook his head and pressed the inte, as if imagining it was terrifying, as huge shit that even the US government could not handle was always poured out like a mountain if he moved directly. Connect to Pacific Command. Because something has happened that needs to be dealt with urgently. * * * Whoops. Early morning when the sun has not risen yet. In a ship sailing across the sea in pitch-ck darkness without a single light, Jae-young climbed onto the deck alone and immersed in thought while breathing in the wind. In just one day, he went from being an ordinary college student to being kidnapped and taken hostage to Japan. I was immersed inplicated thoughts in an absurd situation that seemed like something out of a fantasy novel, but that time wasn''t that long. I was wondering where you went, so you were in a dangerous ce like this? Mei, who was one of the kidnappers who kidnapped herself and Jaekyun. Jaeyoung nced at her with nonchnt eyes, then turned his head again and murmured. Are you still watching when you have nowhere to run? You cant have a bad heart and jump into the sea, can you? Then we will be in trouble too. May is now standing next to Jaeyoung with a soft smile as if her tension has eased considerably. And she soon began tofort him with a friendly expression, as if telling him not to worry. Its true that the beginning was a bit rough, but take it easy. Japan is not a bad ce to live. If you actively cooperate with our government, you may be guaranteed an affluent andfortable life that you never dreamed of in Korea. Comfort that maybe this isn''t a bad choice. However, it was just a story that didn''t work for Jae-young, who had already acquired enormous goods in Arcadia that no one dared dream of. ..... Jaeyoung doesnt respond and just stares at the jet-ck sea in silence. In response to his reaction, Mei tried to convince him again, but she stopped for a moment at the strange sounds that came out of nowhere. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tutututututu. Strange sounds suddenlye from far away. In the pitch-ck darkness where you can''t even see an inch ahead, those disparate sounds that you hear in your ears through the roar of container ships. That''s when those sounds are getting louder and louder. That moment when you feel a sense of wonder when you see the sailors who suddenly be noisy and move wildly and their expressions confused and confused. Suddenly, intense light started pouring from all directions. What the hell is this... Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Tututututututu. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. ck helicopters and small boats surrounded the container ship. And the armed soldiers aboard it and the fighter jets that suddenly appear in the sky. May and Jae-young freeze in shock at the sudden appearance of troops. And on that day, Jaeyoung was able to witness a rare sight for the first time in his life. It is the pride of the US Navy and belongs to the Pacific Command''s 7th Fleet, appearing unstoppably from beyond the horizon with the rising sun in the distance. The majestic majesty of the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. Chapter 318 Chapter 318 The Butterfly Effect (9) Based on overwhelming technology and military power, the United States emerged as a superpower starting from World War II. Those who im to be the world''s police and intervene with interest in world affairs in order to maintain their influence and status as a hegemon are making enormous efforts to maintain their supremacy, especially in Northeast Asia. North Korea. china. russia. The nations standing in opposition to this US-led formation of the free world. to restrain and pressure them. And the 7th Fleet belonging to the Pacific Command, which exists to block maritime advances into the Pacific Ocean. An unprecedented event urred in which the US Navy, armed with a powerful force that no other country dared to deal with, forcibly seized and seized a Japanese civilian ship, but no one knew exactly what had happened. A very quiet and serene world. However, due to this incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which oversees Japan''s foreign diplomacy, was in an uproar as if a bomb exploded. Madam Secretary! What the hell are you going to do now! Why did the U.S. military conduct a military action to seize a civilian ship in the home country? And that too without any notice to us! Making such an illegal military threat within Japanese territory is an absolutely uneptable provocation. Foreign Minister Heisei strongly protests against what the US has done this time with a very angry face. However, even though it was an image, the person reflected through the monitor was Helen Fisher, the first female secretary of state with a thick bone who had been active in the diplomatic arena for decades, so her acting didn''t work at all. [We ask for your kind understanding for not being able to inform the Japanese government about the matter in advance due to time constraints. However, some things seem a little different from the facts I know, so I think I need to rify the facts. First of all, the military operation was carried out not in Japanese territorial waters, but in high seas not owned by any country. It seems difficult to argue that Japan''s sovereignty was vited due to the operation.] The Osumi Strait, which exists in the southern part of Kyushu, Japan. Unlike conventional internationalw, where up to 12 nautical miles is designated as national territorial waters, only up to 3 nautical miles is designated as territorial waters. Although the Japanese continent was right in front of you, strictly speaking, it belonged to the high seas where no owner existed. As if they had been waiting for the moment they entered the Osumi Strait, the United States immediately rushed in and captured the ship as soon as it entered the high seas. At Helen''s story, Foreign Minister Heisei shouted with an excited expression. Do you think that, Secretary of State, is a valid excuse now? It shouldn''t be someone who knows better than anyone why the area is designated as high seas. Intentionally created pollution. It was none other than the United States that gave up their sovereignty allowed by internationalw and turned the sea into an ownerless sea. [This is to open the waterway so that our nuclear forces can freely navigate throughout Northeast Asia, including Japan. The U.S. government is always doing its best to ensure Japan''s national interests and safety from potential adversaries that threaten the camp of the free world. pacifist constitution. As a result, the Izumi Strait was a strategic high seas created by the Japanese government as a desperate measure to allow the US nuclear forces, including nuclear aircraft carriers, to freely enter and exit because, legally, nothing rted to nuclear weapons could be entered into their territory. And he was indignant at the Secretary of State''s response to cleverly exploiting this geopolitical character and saying that they had nothing to do with it. How exactly does this matter rte to our national interests and security guarantees in Japan! This is a military outrage by the United States and a betrayal of all that we have done to strengthen our cooperation with the United States government, even at the cost of our sovereignty. Japan''s Foreign Minister goes on a wild rampage, iming that it is not the pollution that was created for this purpose. It was a legitimate anger and protest for Japan, whose sovereignty was vited right in front of their eyes, but the secretary of state opened his mouth in a cold tone at his remarks that gradually went beyond the limit. [If the Japanese government acts that threatens the national interest and safety of the United States, we have no choice but to choose what we think is best for the necessary measures, Minister Heisei.] What is it? Helen Fisher, America''s first female secretary. However, she defeated all of her outstandingpetitors with only her ability and rose to the position of a senior official in the White House and the head of the State Department, the fourth-ranked executive in the executive branch. . [The US government does not want the rtionship between the Korean government and the Japanese government to deteriorate. However, the various uneasy movements recently seen by the Japanese government are gradually crossing the line to the point that I can''t just watch.] This is...? Photos of the kidnappers obtained by Argos and provided to the National Intelligence Service by Lee Mi-yeon. Heisei''s eyes began to tremble slightly as he saw the clear picture of the two pushing Jaeyoung and Jaekyun into arge van. Damn it..... Did you mean that the Americans were also noticing it...?'' I don''t know if the Korean side requested help or if the US side had already noticed it for a long time, but Heisei was able to realize that the operation had gone awry by looking at the picture in Helen''s hand. [We are all aware of the fact that public sentiment in both countries has seriously deteriorated due to a series of incidents originating from within virtual reality, and that the Japanese government is struggling to take the lead in the rapidly expanding virtual reality industry. And I personally support the Japanese government''s efforts.] Japan, which is pushing the revival of virtual reality technology with stronger support from the government than any other country. It wasn''t that she hated Japan, which was looking at the same future as the United States, but Helen shook her head slightly and said. [However, I don''t think it''s something to go unnoticed about forcibly kidnapping foreign citizens in this way.] Helen reprimands her as if it''s morally wrong. Then Heisei started muttering in a disgruntled voice with a furious face. Okay, Secretary of State. If what you''re iming is true, I''ll admit that the Japanese government didn''t do anything to be proud of. But even if that were the case, it is also problematic for the US government to intervene in this way. No matter how dirty and nasty things were done in Japan, it was definitely a problem between Korea and Japan. There was no reason or justification for intervening in this way in the United States, apletely unrted third party. No matter how deeply we have a rtionship with the Japanese and Korean governments and exert a lot of influence, bringing the entire 7th Fleet.... To intervene in this way without any direct interest is tantamount to meddling in internal affairs. No matter how wrong he was, Helen said with a strange smile at Heisei''s protest that it was too much to put on a political show by dragging the hijackers to an aircraft carrier to catch them. [Hmm..... It seems that the Japanese governmentcked a bit of investigation while nning this operation.] What is that again? Foreign Minister who didn''t understand exactly what he was talking about. But he couldn''t help but freeze for a moment at the storying out of Helen''s mouth. [This time, one of the recruits forcibly detained by the Japanese government... Mr. Lim is one of the special technical agents who have received Level 3 secret clearance from the United States government.] A ssified project being ambitiously prepared by the Pentagon of the US Department of Defense. War Game. For those who wanted to realize a vast battlefield at a level that waspletely indistinguishable from reality, Lim Jae-gyun was an existence that could never be given up. That''s why the Japanese government''s actions to kidnap such a Jae-Gyun were extremely threatening to the US government, which had been granted ess to US military secrets by exceptionally granting secret permission that was never permitted to foreigners. [I take all diplomatic, military, and political risks that may arise because I kidnapped a new recruit who handles US military secret information in this way and even carried out an illegal operation. The White House has no choice but to see that the Japanese government is making such an irrational move to steal American military secrets, including virtual reality technology. Therefore, as Secretary of State representing the United States, I ask, Heisei Japanese Foreign Minister . Helen asked him in a serious, firm, but very cold voice. [Is the target the Japanese government is aiming for to secure the source of virtual reality technology is the United States of America, not the Republic of Korea?] Direct question as to whether they are targeting themselves. The foreign minister was shocked and denied such a question. Can that be? Unlike Korea, the United States exerts enormous economic, military, and political influence over Japan. That''s why Heisei said, rolling his eyes here and there with apletely different, withered spirit. Your Prime Minister has made numerous efforts to strengthen the security alliance and work more closely between the United States and our Japan than any other administration. In this case... it seems that there was a big misunderstanding. Heisei to inform you that you did not know that you were so deeply involved with the United States. In response to his reply, Helen didn''t say anything and looked at him gently, then took a step back. [great. Even President Pearson does not want to break the long-standing rtionship of trust with the Japanese government. Let''s move on to this matter through broad understanding between the two countries.] Helen''s proposal to quietly cover it without making it a problem. For Japan, this operation is aplete failure. Heisei nodded his head obediently, not wanting to make it any more noisy. [We will hand over the kidnapped hostages to the Korean government. Regarding this matter.... Please thoroughly manage it within the Japanese government so that it does not flow into the media separately.] * * * Nimitz -ss aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan. Jaeyoung, who is riding in this ce, one of America''s strongest weapons, which he will never see with his own eyes in his lifetime, couldn''t keep his mind awake from the fantasy-like things that have happened in the past month. While we were kidnapped by the Japanese intelligence department and taken by force to Japan under various threats, an American nuclear aircraft carrier appeared and dramatically rescued us.... It''s such a shitty ending that even if a drama writer specializing in the ending doesn''t seem to be able to save it. Jaeyoung grumbled over the fact that this situation really happened in real life. Are you kidding me, writer of this district. How does this make sense? More fantasy-like reality than fantasy. It was clear that it was a reality that could not be denied as long as he was lying in the cabin of an aircraft carrier, but even in this absurd situation that he could not understand with his head, Jaekyun was so rxed. Jaeyoung, what''s wrong all of a sudden? Jae-kyun, who was trembling and crying when he was kidnapped. But now, he was eating all kinds of choctes and sweets provided by the US soldiers and readingic books leisurely, and he looked like he was in paradise. No, why are you so rxed in this situation? Isn''t it strange? Seeing the carefree Jae-gyun who seems to have no thoughts, Jae-young frowns as if he doesn''t like it. Jaekyun shrugged his shoulders at his question. What''s wrong? The U.S. soldiers have already exined in detail why this happened. The story of Jae-kyun, who participated in a secret project promoted by the US Pentagon. It was absurd why the story, which had been ignored and passed in one ear as selling drugs, was real, but Jae-young felt a great sense of incongruity at the exnation of the US military that rescued them for that reason. No, no matter how talented you are, dont you think this is a bit too much? Um...well? I dont know... Jaekyun shrugs his shoulders when he sees this unprecedented situation in which an entire fleet is dispatched to rescue each person. However, he feels that the whole situation is so foreign. I felt a strong sense of incongruity, but I was able to have a strong conviction through a person I met as soon as I returned to Korea. Wee back. Dark rainy night. Seeing President Lee Mi-yeon smiling alone holding a ck umbre in arge, empty yard, Jae-young thought. Perhaps the real reason why the US 7th Fleet, which has the strongest power in Northeast Asia, rescued them. I mean, maybe it wasn''t because of that damn ignorant Jae-gyun. Chapter 319 Chapter 319 Chicken Game (1) Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. She couldn''t hide her embarrassment at an uninvited guest who suddenly came to her without warning, but soon greeted him with a smile. oh. Student Jaeyoung, long time no see? Hello boss. I came here because I had a few questions to ask. Can I have some time? Jae-young asks for some time, saying that he has a few questions to ask. Lee Mi-yeon waved her hand and said to the secretary who was looking at the situation with curious eyes behind him. I think we need to talk for a while, so please put off the next schedule for about 30 minutes. It doesn''t matter what you drink, so you don''t have to worry about it... Please crack down thoroughly. At President Lee Mi-yeon''s request to not let anyone in, the secretary nods and leaves. After the door was firmly closed, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked Jae-young to take a seat. What would you like to drink? coffee? car? C? We also have hot chocte. Ill have coffee. Jae-young looked around the office with something meaningful in her eyes. And he said to the back of President Lee Mi-yeon, who was drinking coffee. Its toote to say thank you before. hmm? What? President Lee Mi-yeon asks Jae-young with a puzzled face at Jae-young''s sudden thank you. Jaeyoung looked at her with soft eyes and said. That day, a month ago. ah. Is that it? President Lee Mi-yeon muttered as if she understood now. She handed the hot coffee to Jaeyoung and said with a smile. You dont have to thank me. It was something we had to do anyway. is that so? yes. There is a separate investigation team working inside thepany to prevent leaks about virtual reality technology. It was an intelligence obtained by chance while analyzing the subtle trends of the Japanese side that were recently identified by this side. The Japanese government is trying to recruit talented people who possess technologies rted to Arcadia Co., Ltd. or have outstanding abilities rted to virtual reality systems. President Lee Mi-yeon sips coffee as if it were nothing. She began to exin in detail the reason for what had happened to Jae-young, who was silently listening to her story without saying anything. However, all recruits of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are strictly within the protection and surveince system of the respective country. The Japanese side must have felt a great burden to kidnap a person from our side so easily. And... in the midst of that, two people must have stood out. Jae-young and Jae-kyun are outstanding talents who are not affiliated with Arcadia Co., Ltd., but have more skills than anyone else in virtual reality technology. That''s why Jaeyoung shook his head and said that it was not so that they were targeted by the Japanese government. I understand why we were kidnapped. The only thing I don''t understand is... While taking a sip of coffee, Jaeyoung looked at President Miyeon with a calm look and asked. How did Arcadia know about it first and leak rted information to the National Intelligence Service? President Lee Mi-yeon''s expression hardened for an instant at those words. She immediately asked Jaeyoung, who seemed to know everything, frowning. How did you know we leaked information? If you ask Jaekyun and me at the National Intelligence Service, or if you roughly grasp the tone of conversation, a picture emerges. I deliberately asked a sneaky question. During the investigation, Jae-young smiled smirkingly, saying that he had found out through the judo newspaper, and he immediately asked with a cold look. So I wanted to ask the boss directly. A situation that could never happen if they did not monitor themselves in real time. So, Jae-young directly asked President Mi-yeon Lee. Why were you spying on me and Jaekyun? ..... President Lee Mi-yeon, who was only handling coffee cups with a serious face in response to Jae-young''s question. Then she turned on the TV, muttering in a low voice, and started flipping through the channels. Contrary to what Jaeyoung knew, this world runs moreplicated. Nothing moves without cause and effect, and a real intention is hidden that ispletely different from what we know on the surface. Like the recentplicated situation in Korea. [Next news. Following the Constitutional Court''s decision that the impeachment trial against President Jeon Ki-chan was unfair, the motion for impeachment submitted by the National Assembly was finally dismissed. In response, President Jeon Ki-chan immediately returns to his duties and is doing his best to rectify the state affairs that have been disturbed by the impeachment. ] It is being exposed through and causing a great stir. In response, members of the Saenara Democratic Party and the Korea Liberal Party stubbornly deny the facts, but great confusion is brewing, with the leadership dering their resignation.] [President Pearson of the United States is very interested in the underground city Underworld being built in Korea . expressed. It was evaluated as a groundbreaking alternative to resolve poption concentration and the resultant urban overcrowding, and instructed to review whether it could be built inrge cities in the United States.] Abducted by Japanese intelligence agents and miraculously returned one month after me While showing articles on the enormous incidents that urred in that short period of time, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her head, saying that it was unavoidable. The Japanese government moves aggressively to steal technology in order to appease the feverish public sentiment inside. From the impeachment of the president, an unprecedented situation in the history of the constitution, to the administration that waspletely paralyzed by it. On our side, we had no choice but to respond preemptively to any unforeseen threats. So... at that time it was an unavoidable situation? yes. I''m sorry I couldn''t tell you in advance, but... it was an unavoidable situation because it was internal confidential information. As a result, the concerns we predicted came true, but... President Lee Mi-yeon, who seems to have found someposure while sipping coffee, said with a strange smile. In fact, wouldnt it be right to do something to protect a secret friend? Lee Mi-yeon, president of thepany, replied that this was not illegal surveince, but was done to protect a secret friend. Jaeyoung kept her mouth shut at her words, but soon smiled as if it was fun. That''s a very reliable secret friend. You promised? He said that if you cooperate for me as much as possible in the game, I will be your strong support in real life. Jae-young thoroughly fulfilled his request to protect the Gael Federation and end the war as quickly as possible. Of course, in the process, it became moreplicated and dizzy with numerous controversies and insane results, but as a result, it was true that the incident ended with minimal damage, so President Lee Mi-yeon drank coffee at once. And Jaeyoung, who was staring at her like that, asked with a really curious face. I dont know if I really know. What? I was wondering what the hell is the game called Arcadia that is doing it this far. If it''s a normal game, it won''t give a single user such a powerful influence, but even if it does, if it overdoes the game like this, the management will intervene right away and start adjusting the bnce. Whether it''s a rollback or a portrait, I used all possible means and methods. Even when the beginner vige was blown up by the slime attack. Even when he turns into a lich who led the army of death and blows up a duke. Even when there was a witch hunt that unterally ughtered evil users. From killing a dragon to resurrecting the World Tree and blowing up the imperial castle of the Shoen Empire with a giant mushroom cloud. Innumerable moments of destruction and upheaval that existed in the whole process. From the point of view of users, Arcadia Co., Ltd. showed the true value of managing the end by neglecting the dizzying chaotic situation that caused all kinds of protests andints. That''s why Jaeyoung looked at President Lee Miyeon and asked with a very curious face. Does it can''t'' prevent me from doing things in the game or don''t''? What kind of Arcadia do those top developers'' want? unlimited freedom. infinite possibilities. Based on these two mottos, Arcadia Co., Ltd. leaves everything to flow by users. However, President Lee Mi-yeon sighed with aplicated expression at Jae-young''s question. Um... Ive said this before, but I cant stop Jaeyoung. In the case of top developers, it would be possible... but it seems virtually impossible. Why? In response to Jae-young''s question that he didn''t understand that, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered while shaking her head with a dark expression as if she had a terrible imagination. That would be tantamount to calling in a tiger to stop a pack of wolves. It might be the worst choice to attract an existence that could lead to a greater chaos in Arcadia and possibly a huge disaster that would lead to the destruction of the virtual world itself. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon said to Jae-young, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression. I dont know what the top developers think. I''ve never asked, and to be honest, I''m not interested. The important thing for me is to prevent this Arcadia from falling into catastrophe, while quelling users anger and continuing the service stably. I don''t know how long that will be possible, but President Lee Mi-yeon sighs deeply, suppressed by a sense of mission to do something. She said to Jae-young, who was still trying to say something, with a look of iprehension. In conclusion, what I would like to say is that Jaeyoung should enjoy Arcadia as he normally would. It''s a matter for me and the staff to think about what to do after that.... It doesn''t matter what you do in the game, so don''t give up and just y as you please. Ellis judged him to be the final content and the most important variable to prevent theter crisis that could lead to the destruction of Arcadia. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon looked at Jae-young and said. My Jaeyoung... Do whatever you want!'' Unlike before, Jae-young put on a strangely confused expression at President Lee Mi-yeon''s straightforward words, saying, Let''s run rampage as much as we want. Can I really do whatever I want? yes. Do whatever you want. What if I said I wouldpletely blow up the Japanese continent? In retaliation for this incident, Jae-young thought of dozens of ways to properly fuck the Japanese government. No matter how Japanese users are not directly rted to this incident, he was seriously thinking about whether or not to implement such retaliatory measures, as the only thing he could do as a college student was this. However, the answer that came out of President Lee Mi-yeon''s mouth to his question waspletely different from the various answers Jae-young was thinking. Um... but it doesn''t matter, but it''s actually meaningless, right? What do you mean? Jae-young tilts her head at Lee Mi-yeon''s words that it probably won''t be necessary. Looking at him like that, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a strangely cold smile. The Japanese government is in a state of intense heat due to a series of recent events. I wanted to solve the problem in a good way somehow... but since things were going in an impossible direction, we finally decided to take a retaliatory response after deep consideration and deliberation. Lee Mi-yeon, president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., said that Arcadia also decided to take retaliatory measures against the Japanese government. Looking at her face with a very ominous smile, Jaeyoung swallowed his saliva with a tense face without knowing it. What are you thinking of doing? However, President Lee Mi-yeon did not tell Jae-young about what would happen in the future. He just grinned and left a very ominous warning. It will go to a live press conference, so check it out for yourself then. Chapter 320 Chapter 320 Chicken Game (2) The virtual reality industry is rapidly expanding. Now, two years after the technology was first unveiled, this technology, which has spread all over the world, has permeated the world so quickly that it has begun to take root firmly in people''s daily lives. -Virtual reality enjoyed by 80% of all mankind. Unprecedented explosive spread. - Companies risking their lives in virtual reality. A desperate struggle not to be weeded out? - Arge number of services that are quickly transitioning into the virtual world. innovation or revolution -Mizunisa''s Fantastic Universe. A prelude to the end of the travel industry. -Virtual reality that transcends time and space. An essential element for true globalization. Virtual reality technology is literally cataclysmic, taking away many jobs while delivering numerous economic effects. Although it was apanied by tremendous pain amidst the fierce struggle of numerous pros and cons, all sociologists and futurists shouted out unanimously as if they had made a promise. [In the future,panies leading the virtual reality industry, including Arcadia, will lead the future. In the future life of mankind, the virtual reality system will somehow be an indispensable element.] Innovative technology that enables direct information exchange and connection between the brain and machines. Although nothing was known about the principles and theories, it was thanks to the cooperation of threepanies that seemed absolutely impossible that this ultra-futuristic science and technology that seemed hundreds of years ahead could bepleted. [Ajin Electronics and Argus Silicoff have decided to jointly create a newpany that will be in charge of all services rted to the Butterfly Dream'' project. The holdings are 33.3% each, 99.9% of which will be held by our threepanies, and the remaining 0.1% will be held by the CEO who will be in charge of the joint venture Arcadia''.] Secret projects Phenopsis and Six Sense. As a result, Arcadia was born. The true owners, each holding a 33.3% stake in thepany, were none other than the threepanies. It is no exaggeration to say that Ajin Electronics developed the first smartphone G series and is dominating the world''s cordless phone market. Silicon Corp., thergest biopany in the US, has developed an innovative treatment called bullocho and possesses dozens of hundreds of new drugs and their original technology. Arcos, thergest ITpany that boasts overwhelming speed and stable security and has developed an operating system called Argos'' that provides all kinds of convenient and diverse services, built a mobile ecosystem for the first time, and has billions of subscribers. Arcadia, a monsterpany created by three world-sspanies that have already reached the top in their respective fields. It was inevitable that thispany, which has tremendous added value that cannot fail even if you put a monkey in the president''s seat, will grow into a global giant, and the process did not take much time, but at the same time it caused a tremendous bacsh.e. [The economic additional benefits of Arcadia amount to hundreds of thousands of trillions. However, is it really fair for our future humanity that onepany has an exclusive grip on such an enormous technology? I think it is necessary to open the source technology to the whole world. I think that Arcadia Co., Ltd. should fulfill its social responsibility to pursuemon wealth for the coexistence of all countries.] [ People''s indiscriminate eptance of virtual reality technology is insane! Studies and investigations on the possible side effects of direct information exchange between the human brain and machines have not yet been properly conducted. Even if it doesn''t seem like a problem right now, who can say that it won''t have serious side effects over the long term! Even now, intensive safety verification and investigation of virtual reality technology must be conducted!] Monopolization of all economic benefits created through virtual reality technology. And the side effects of virtual reality on the human brain. These two ims appeared at the same time as the birth of Arcadia Co., Ltd., but they continued to appear on TV until now, saying that the spread of virtual reality should be stopped even now. -Future technology monopolized by onepany. Is it really fair? - Arcadia Co., Ltd., which is causing concern in many countries. Is the technology disclosure request legitimate? -Attempts to steal Arcadia''s virtual reality technology are rampant. Rejection of Technical Disclosure. -Holding a hearing on Arcadia Co., Ltd. A movement to share the source technology of virtual reality? Arcadia Co., Ltd. has endured so far by fighting a lonely invisible battle in the midst of numerous interests. In particr, the list of tricks that governments have attempted and perpetrated to steal the source technology for virtual reality, either explicitly or covertly, would be endless. And at this moment, President Lee Mi-yeon was busy preparing to take out a knife to start condemning all these things for the first time. Umm.... Recently, Arcadia Co., Ltd. has been making strenuous efforts to dispel various continuing concerns. In addition, in order to fulfill its responsibilities as a social enterprise, many welfare policies have been promoted. So... CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who goes back and forth to the office alone, muttering what she''s going to say while practicing. And the face of executive director Kwon Myeong-han, who was watching her from afar, was full of tension and nervousness. Do you know why your boss is pushing for a press conference all of a sudden? President Lee Mi-yeon gave direct instructions to prepare for a press conference, saying that there was a sudden important announcement. Since she had never summoned reporters like this before, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han kept questioning what the important announcement was, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not say anything. well....? I''m not sure about that either... The secretary tilted her head and said she didn''t know. However, he soon handed me a piece of paper and told me why he thought. Perhaps you are referring to the follow-up measures following the Japanese governments regtory announcement. It is the same time as when the Japanese side said they would announce regtions on Arcadia. okay? yes. Perhaps, in the future, I will pay attention to issues that will be controversial in the future.... Wouldnt it be something like this? A crazypany that abandoned the ending of the empire being destroyed by three mushroom clouds. The secretary guessed that the main content of the announcement would be to promise to make efforts to improve the image as the perception of Arcadia Co., Ltd. from the Japanese people and the government is worse than ever. The expression on the face of the managing director who rmended his words softened even more. Looking at the same thing until the time of the presentation... I guess that could be the case. Deliberately in time for the Japanese government''s announcement of regtions, the general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. announces an apology following the recent situation. Thinking that there would be no better response than this, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han muttered with a slightly rxed expression, and the secretary smiled and said, Don''t worry. It must be because the boss has an idea. Don''t worry too much, Mr. However, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was momentarily flinched at the strange anxiety that surged in his heart, and at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, who opened the door with a broad smile and said that everything was ready. Its done. Shall we go now? Without the slightest hesitation, CEO Lee Mi-yeon boarded the exclusive elevator going directly to the lobby with the sound of high heels clicking. The moment he looked at her like that, an auditory hallucination began to be heard in the ears of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han. It''s in the game anyway, right? Don''t rush to death too much.'' * * * Lobby of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and the official briefing room of the Japanese government. The space was different, but the time was exactly the same. In a press conference that started at that moment, President Lee Mi-yeon and a spokesperson for the Japanese government opened their mouths. [The Japanese government was very concerned about the side effects of the game called virtual reality, which is rapidly spreading among the younger generation these days. It is not yet clear what kind of effect a machine called Dreamer has on the human brain. And we took into ount that the level of addiction is overwhelmingly higher than that of other normal games. Therefore, the government had no choice but to make a difficult decision after much discussion and deliberation [... ] spokesman. And at that time, CEO Lee Mi-yeon was actively sympathizing with and agreeing with his story. [Ourpany is seriously considering the ims of many people who are concerned that many social problems are urring regarding Arcadia and virtual reality services. In addition, we recently received a letter of protest from the Japanese government regarding the extreme poisoning of Arcadia. In fact, considering the fact that the number of yers using Arcadia in Japan is highpared to other countries, and the fact that the ying time is overwhelmingly high, I was able to sympathize with the Japanese government''s concerns . Announcements that are so simr that they are mistaken. The spokesperson for the Japanese government, who is talking in an angry tone as if scolding, and President Lee Mi-yeon, who seems to be calmly and calmly responding. Their announcements, which seemed the same yet different, continued non-stop for more than 10 minutes and were running towards the climax. [Therefore, the Japanese government expressed great anger and regret at the behavior of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which stimtes, ridicules, and insults world-historical pain, while standing by and leading it. However, the response to this seemed to be an uneptable provocation to the Japanese government, and it was decided to guide such reckless business behavior through active regtory measures.] [Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. The absolute policy of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which hopes and pursues to create the story of Arcadia by users and freely create another world, will not and cannot change. However, we came to the conclusion that Arcadia cannot ept the unreasonable demands of the Japanese government that infringe on corporate autonomy and operational rights by citing real-life tragedies in world history, directly intervening in Arcadia and pressuring users to actively intervene. The Japanese government promised to tame Arcadia Co., Ltd. through legal and institutional regtions, and President Lee Mi-yeon said that she would never do that even if she died . Confronting each other in a river-to-river fight, they frantically pressed the camera shutter and dered to the reporters who were broadcasting this announcement in real time. [Therefore, the Japanese government deres that from now on, the forced suspension of all virtual reality services in Japan will take effect.] [As soon as this announcement is over, Arcadia Co., Ltd. will indefinitely suspend all virtual reality services provided in Japan. I will.] The Japanese government and Arcadia Co., Ltd. announced the suspension of virtual reality services announced at the same time. At the same time, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han and the staff of the Crisis Management Response Team were watching the announcement, which made the two press conferences riot as if a bomb had been dropped. At this moment, everyone is staring at the TV endlessly with their mouths open as if their chins were missing, with shocked faces. The long silence that seemed like eternity was broken, and someone''s despair mixed with self-talk was heard. Haha.... Chapter 321 Chapter 321 Chicken Game (3) Arcadia and the Japanese government announced the suspension of virtual reality services at the same time. Regardless of who said it first, this seemingly different butpletely identical content, released at the same time, was featured in the world''s media through an urgent breaking news. - Urgent Breaking News. The Japanese government has announced aplete suspension of virtual reality services. -Shock. Deration of suspension of service of Arcadia Co., Ltd. What is the inside story? -Consumers in panic. Analysis of the background of the ess suspension measures and its prospects in the future. -The Japanese government and Arcadia Co., Ltd. collided without backing down without making a single concession. who''s the winner? It is a problem that has emerged as a matter of interest for the first time in history to the extent that it is reported first in the terrestrial 9 o''clock news. Therefore, so-called experts from all walks of life began to speak loudly about the current situation in front of the camera. [I pointed out social problems such as medical side effects and serious virtual reality addiction, but I think this is a high-level goal of the Japanese government to put pressure on Arcadia. Currently, about 80 million Japanese subscribers are using the virtual reality service of Arcadia Co., Ltd. The longer this regtory actionsts, the more astronomical the damage to Arcadia will be.] [That''s right. Analyzing the financial statements announced by Arcadia Co., Ltd., countries other than developed countries such as the United States and Europe are recording huge operating losses due to huge infrastructure investment and setting the lowest rate n considering the ie gap. I''m making up all the losses with the operating profit that urs in various advanced countries.... In the case of Japan, it was ying an enormous cash cow role that reached 25% of total sales. It would be fatal if it disappeared in an instant.] No matter how many billions of subscribers, most countries have a poor basic socio-economic level, so Arcadia Co., Ltd. is making huge investments even at a loss to settle virtual reality. . Therefore, it was said that theplete disappearance of sales from Hana in Japan could lead to a serious financial crunch and management crisis. So, the moderator who was listening to the panelists asked with a doubtful face. [Then why did Arcadia Co., Ltd. announce the same story as the Japanese government?] From the standpoint of Arcadia Co., Ltd., no matter how disliked it is, it has no choice but to depend economically on the Japanese market. Like it or not, it was already a huge investment, so the measure to stop the service in this way was just a level of eating my weight. That''s why, in the situation where everyone was making faces that they couldn''t understand, one of the panels opened up. [From my point of view, it seems that Arcadia Co., Ltd. is trying to open a public opinion campaign.] [A public opinion battle....?] [Basically, the current view of Arcadia Co., Ltd. in Japan is not very good. Inside the Japanese government, the favorability and support for Prime Minister Abin have also plummeted. That''s why it seems to be trying to change the situation by selecting such extreme superprecipitation, but I don''t know how, but I think Arcadia Co., Ltd. has obtained information about Japan''s regtory measures in advance.] Too coincidentally, the same measures were taken at the same time . announced by the Japanese government and Arcadia Co., Ltd. No matter how you look at it, he said, looking at this exquisite situation that is unreasonable to see as a coincidence. [It would have been judged that Arcadia Co., Ltd. would preemptively stop providing services on its own rather than being forced to suspend service unterally, which could serve as an advantage in future negotiations and negotiations with the Japanese government. Isn''t there a saying like this? Originally, if lovers know in advance that they will kick each other, they kick first before kicking.] He thinks that Arcadia Co., Ltd. is aiming to strategically gain an upper hand on the negotiating table. Even after that, various opinions and thoughts came and went, but they had onemon story. [Whatever it is, this disruption won''tst long. The current situation is as if the Japanese government and Arcadiana are ying a huge game of chicken.] * * * After the deration of full-scale war against the Japanese government is over. As soon as she returned to her office, CEO Lee Mi-yeon had to sweat for a long time to calm down executive director Kwon Myung-han, who rushed at her like crazy and made all sorts of nags and fuss. Executive Director, you seem to be overly excited. Why don''t you calm down and listen to my story before making a decision? A cold smile that seems to contain an unspoken threat that whining must be eptable. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who realized that her patience was running out due to his years of social life, finally lowered his tail, sat down on the sofa, and kept his mouth shut with a serious face. First of all, this decision was not made by me alone. yes....? That means... The board of directors... or, more precisely, the final decision after in-depth discussions with the actual owners of thepany. The owner of three world-sspanies that own thispany, and famous entrepreneurs who make the headlines of the day even if only one of them is in the media. Silicoff''s leader Jenika. Lee Jun-hee, chairman of Ajin Group. Mikhail, the CEO of Corporation Argos. Upon hearing that the decision was finally made after obtaining the consent of these three people, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han looked at President Lee Mi-yeon with big eyes that seemed to jump out in disbelief and asked. Why the hell did you make this decision? No, then really... In the midst of anxiety rising again, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han asked with a nervous look on his face. Are you nning to discontinue Arcadias service in Japan? Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han asked with a nervous look. Seeing him ask a question with an expression simr to that of a new employee, CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled and said, Its fun. sure. First of all, I said indefinitely in front of the camera... but in reality, I will take measures close to permanent suspension. In fact, it would be easier to see it as aplete business withdrawal. What the hell is that... A shocking story that can''t be handled at all. Nearly 80 million real people y Arcadia, and although they cannot y yet, including underage children who consume virtual reality content, 99% of the entire poption enjoys the virtual reality industry. Executive director Kwon Myung-soo felt fear at this terrifying idea to pull out everything that was already firmly embedded in their daily lives. This... will be something no one can handle. A huge blow wille to Arcadia Co., Ltd. As the CEO and the managing director who assists thepany, this is something I absolutely cannot agree with. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon expresses his opposition, saying that as a human being, this is a decision that we cannot agree with. However, Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany,ughed at his words, flipped through some documents on the desk, took them out, and handed them to him. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon... what do you think I am doing here as the general manager? Lee Mi-yeon, president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., seen by employees. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was aware of the rumors about her who seemed to be doing nothing on the outside, kept her mouth shut at her question. - A boss who fucks his employees by giving them too much money to refuse. -The president whose hobby is to make thepany look like X. -Please stay still, boss. -Bitch crazy about bamboo spears. -The president who has the worst nning skills in the universe. Every time the game turns upside down due to all sorts of incidents, he tells the employees to do nothing and leave them alone, causing tears of blood to flow from the eyes of the employees and a key figure that drives the family and love fronts to catastrophe. That''s why the evaluation couldn''t have been good, but the documents that President Lee Mi-yeon handed over were the first reports that even Kwon Myung-han had seen. This is... what the hell is this...? Hundreds... No, thousands of documents written on the case. Only the titles of the rough report were selected, but it was clear that the titles were unusual. This is a list of tricks that have been attempted and perpetrated around the world to target and steal the original technology of Arcadia and virtual reality. As you can see, well... the United States, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, China, France, and Canada. Even at this moment, it is clear that the whole world is watching this conflict with Japan. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon said sternly to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was looking at himself and the document in his hand with a shocked face. The announcement I made today is not a simple response to retaliatory measures. Executive Director, this is a warning and a message to those who threaten ourpany. President Lee Mi-yeon, who had to endure all sorts of despicable and dirty tricks without being able to say anything even though she was being punished. However, through this action, she was clearly showing everyone around the world who would be aiming for Arcadia. The fact that countries that do dirty things to threaten the safety ofpanies and steal inside information will not be able to enjoy any of the conveniences, privileges, and economic benefits that virtual reality will bring. That''s why this suspension of service in Japan is necessary no matter how much business loss it brings. For the first time, CEO Lee Mi-yeon pulled out a knife to condemn the crime. She said with a face full of a sense of duty to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was sitting there staring at her with a dumbfounded face. This is what I have to do to protect Arcadia. ..... Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han couldn''t say anything at her words. After a long time, he sighed deeply and said with a face that looked like he was 10 years older. If you say so, then I have nothing to say. However, there is a need to prepare additional follow-up measures, Mr. President. The exact data will need to be additionally identified, but if a situation arises in which the huge amount of cash earned by the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. disappears in an instant and at the same time all capsules sold in Japan have to be refunded... maye. A situation where you might have to deal with astronomical losses. However, unlike Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who was full of worries and concerns, Lee Mi-Yeon''s face was infinitely rxed. Do not worry. Do ourpanys investors have a lot of money? Argus Silicoff Azin Electronics. Since they were good global conglomerates who were raking in money from all over the world without letting anyone down, she calmly took out a few follow-up measures without blinking an eye. Still, additional measures are prepared to be announced after the suspension of service in Japan. Several proposals were proudly brought out as if they had already been fully prepared in advance. And the eyes of executive director Kwon Myeong-han who looked at it began to tremble like crazy. Is this for real? sure. Are you kidding me? But still, this is too little... Additional measures that are far more unrealistic than imagined. But he could instinctively realize it. If even one of these measures that President Lee Mi- yeon brought out was really realized... The fact that the Japanese government''s decision to stop virtual reality services was the worst card that should never be taken out under any circumstances. My stomach hurts when my cousin buysnd, and it hurts even more when someone else eats something I cant eat. President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a smirk. She asked, ncing at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han as if to ask. how is it? Is this enough to make me a little jealous? Chapter 322 Chapter 322 Chicken Game (4) Suspension of virtual reality service to Japan indefinitely. After this news was announced, people''s reactions across the Inte were shocking. -....??? service stop? -what. Is the Japanese government blocking it, or is Arcadia going to stop it? -I think it''s both...? Announcement of suspension of service simultaneously announced in the names of the Japanese government and the president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. For this reason, there was confusion for a while about who was responsible for this measure, but after understanding the situation to some extent, a tremendous bacsh erupted inside Japan. - damn it! Discontinuing virtual reality services? whoever you like! - How can you stop the service like this? does that make sense? -What are the Japanese government and Arcadiana thinking? No matter how many incidents and idents explode and they have extreme antipathy, virtual reality service has no substitute. So, for the Japanese users who were enjoying Arcadia, this action was literally lightning fast. - I really can''t connect! -Chick Show! How much money did I put into this game! -What about the one-year pass I paid for? No, more than that, what about this capsule installment? It was a unteral measure that Japanese users, who poured a huge amount of money just to enjoy the game, could not understand even for a single day. So, they picked up the phone and went to the head office in person, continuing to protest fiercely, but Arcadia Co., Ltd. didn''t blink an eye. [This decision was made based on numerous concerns andints about the side effects of virtual reality that the Japanese government has continuouslymunicated to headquarters. Arcadia Co., Ltd. takes this stance and perspective of the jurisdiction providing the service seriously, and will consider resuming the service once the results are clearly verified that there are no long-term side effects or risks of virtual reality technology on the human brain. It is.] Arcadia Co., Ltd. took a step back, ming the Japanese government and the media for their decision, saying that they had no choice but to make it. At the same time, they announced additional follow-up measures with faces full of sincerity. [Therefore, considering the inevitable prolongation of this situation, we n to establish a special refund policy limited to Japan to minimize damage to consumers. We promise to give you a 100% refund for all connectors Dreamer sold, including service vouchers that have not expired.] Japan, where over 80 million connectors have been sold. If all Dreamers are refunded, it is clear that Arcadia will suffer astronomical damages. However, most of the Japanese users, except for a small percentage, did not request a refund. [However, if a refund ispletely processed, this corresponds topletely invalidating the contract for the provision of virtual reality services of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which was previously concluded, and ordingly, all data in the virtual reality of the subscriber is It will bepletely deleted.] In exchange for a refund, Japanese users couldn''t bear to refund the interface device, which had be a useless nuisance because of threats, not threats, that their cherished characters in Arcadia would bepletely deleted. -How much money did I spend on Arcadia... Deleting a character? does that make sense? - Even if you sell all the items in your inventory, you will buy 3 connectors, you damn gamepany. -It''s been less than a month since I fully matched it with a rare item. what kind of lightning Arcadia provided more immersion and fun than any other game. Therefore, since the number of wallet warriors who opened their wallets and poured out huge amounts of cash without hesitation was beyond imagination, there was only one option for them to choose because of the countless costs that had already been buried in virtual reality. -Isnt it because of the Japanese government that the service was stopped in the first ce? -that''s right. What kind of absurd side effects or what? - It must have been an inevitable choice for a singlepany. this fucking government. The Japanese public made a natural decision that, unless they were shot in the head, thepany would not have taken such extreme measures at the cost of huge losses. That''s why the arrows of anger soon began to return to other ces. The Japanese government must immediately stop the attack on Arcadia Co., Ltd.! You touch virtual reality because you have nothing to do! You tax thieves! Fucking Prime Minister Abin,e out in front of the people right now and drive the dog! Towards Prime Minister Abin and his cab who created this catastrophe. * * * An emergency cab meeting convened under the direction of Prime Minister Abin. At this meeting, which began in a chilly atmosphere, he spewed out tremendous anger and raged. Quaang. How the hell did that damnpany know we were going to shut down the service? A statement from Arcadia Co., Ltd., announced at the same time and with exactly the same content. Prime Minister Abin asked with a lively look at this absurd situation where only words came out that he was aiming for it. Could there be a rat hiding in here that I dont know about? There is no choice but to suspect that information was leaked from the inside. But at that question, everyone kept their mouths shut with stiff faces. An inhospitable atmosphere that takes your breath away. It was none other than the Chief Cab Secretary who calmed down Prime Minister Abin, who was raging on the streets, saying he would smash anyone if caught. Prime Minister, it seems more urgent to think about ways to rectify the current situation than to hunt down the traitor. As of 00:00 two days ago, Arcadiapletely blocked Japanese subscribers from essing virtual reality. They voluntarily shut down all services before we ordered them to do anything about it. Originally, the Japanese government thought that Arcadia Co., Ltd. would sit at the negotiating table on its own to resume service if the superpower of service suspension was put first. However, their delusions were far from reality. Are you really willing to take the loss? It doesn''t matter if we give up the enormous profits we make in Japan...? Prime Minister Abin had already determined that Japan was a key market that Arcadia could never give up through thorough market research and analysis in advance. Measures that were both a warning and an unspoken threat made in order to force Arcadia to unravel the secret bundle of technology by pranking and pressuring Arcadia Co., Ltd., in a state where they were convinced that they were in the position of leader. However, the steps that Arcadia Co., Ltd. is showing now are no different from seriously withdrawing all business from Japan. It seems so. ording to the current information received, most of the personnel at Arcadia Japan are being reduced, and all partners and affiliates have been notified of the suspension of the project. It seems that they are preparing to prolong this situation, and in the worst case, it seems that they will permanently stop the service altogether. I don''t know if it''s a simple bluff or if it''s sincere, but unlike the Japanese government, who expected that it would try to solve this situation quickly somehow, Arcadia Co., Ltd. It was they who gave the Right now, public opinion demanding that all measures be withdrawn in order to resume Arcadia''s service is spreading. Beyond mass protests..... even violent protests and extreme actions appear to be spreading here and there. Virtual Reality Arcadia. A virtual world that embodies vivid senses that are indistinguishable from reality even though it is wearing a mask of a game. That''s why there were more sincere people than anyone else in Arcadia. [I have no reason to live any longer if I don''t see my Emily Jjaung again.] [For me, who couldn''t walk freely because I had no legs... Arcadia was the only safe haven.... And this government gave me such a ce. You''ve taken away my sanctuary. Hehehe.....] [Gold earned in Arcadia was our family''s only means of livelihood . disabled people. And in reality, hikikomori who can''t escape even their own small room, and dark gamers who make a living with the gold they earn from games. If you''ve never tasted it, you might not know, but once you''ve experienced it, Arcadia boasts an enormous addiction that you can never get out of. That is why their anger toward the Japanese government, which took away the daily lives and means of livelihood of all those who were sincere with Arcadia more than anyone else, was more destructive than they could have imagined. [This damn government... do you dare to do this and be safe! Bloody revenge!] [I willpletely burn this twisted world.] [Hold up the torches, people! Let''s overthrow this damn government!] A serious situation whererge-scale bloodshed urs simultaneously across the country. That is why the Chief Cab Secretary warned Prime Minister Abin with a serious face. Currently, it is said that ordinary people have be extreme mobs, perpetrating all sorts of terrorist acts and inciting the masses. If we do not calm this public opinion by responding strongly right now... there is a risk thatrge-scale riots will spread throughout Japan. Anti-government sentiment and public opinion pouring out on the Inte and on the streets. As the number of people of all ages calling for Arcadia''s service to resume increased over time, the Chief Cab Secretary became more and more anxious. But..... The Japanese government, which had been pouring outments in a harsh tone of criticism towards Arcadia Co., Ltd., out of pride, soon changed its posture to make Udyr cry at the news that is heating up the world, and servile. I had to kneel down in front of them and pray. [Arcadia CEO Lee Mi-yeon announced that he wouldunch a broad andprehensive welfare policy for severely disabled people. In this regard, several contents were included including permanent rental of premium Dreamer capsules, including free of charge of the service. Subjects can receive the benefits regardless of nationality, but only Japan, where the service was discontinued, was excluded. In response...] [Today, Chairman Lee Jun-hee, who holds a 33.3% stake in Arcadia, a virtual reality servicepany, each staked 5%, and everyone saw the final chapter of the true main stream hidden in Arcadia. He has pledged to transfer all of his shares. ording to a securities expert, the value of a 15% stake in Arcadia, an unlistedpany, is expected to reach 500 billion yen, making it a hot topic.] [This is breaking news. It has been confirmed that President Pearson of the United States issued a business order to investigate the possibility of officially recognizing the virtual currency called gold'', which is used in virtual reality Arcadia, in a conversation with the chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee today. If that happens, it will be the first time that all economic activities in virtual reality are linked to the real economy.] Virtual reality services and rted industries are digging deeper into the world day by day. Japan is in a reality where it ispletely deprived of the splendid benefits and conveniences of virtual reality, which are indispensable in everyday life, due to a single wrong judgment, and has to live with exclusion. It was only after tasting the cruel and harsh reality that Prime Minister Abin and the Japanese government were able toe to a desperate realization. It means that the position they were ced in against Arcadia Co., Ltd. was not a position of A, but a position of thorough B. Chapter 323 Chapter 323 Reality in Illusion (1) The second scenario opened by Joong-sik. [Act. 2 Resurrection of Divinity] This video, which was broadcast live in real time through Arfandia, was featured in major media around the world and excited billions of users. [The huge content hidden in Arcadia has finally been released. Ruins of the ancient gods hidden throughout the United Continent. Find those ruins, be the apostle of the sealed god, and continue the journey to resurrect them... Just thinking about it will be full of thrilling adventure and romance.] [ At Arcadia, about this scenario There is no officialment, but ording to the words of an anonymous high-ranking official obtained by us, the scenario is one of the grand narratives that were expected to begin at least 10 yearster...] [A story we werepletely unaware of . Full Arcadia. I think these elements make virtual reality more colorful. Who the hell nned this ridiculously massive setting?] Arcadia boasts a gigantic scale that is almost the size of the actual Earth. However, despite its immense size, it was full of detailed stories that could not be overlooked, so even though billions of people were enjoying the game, there was no shortage of content. Hunt Upward Exploration Production Gathering Entertainment Travel Labor..... Dozens Hundreds. Most of them were busy enjoying their own original y, but at this moment, their attention began to focus on one topic at once. [Be an apostle of the hidden divinity and resurrect the ancient deity.] [Confirmed the erased ancient records.] [Obtained the title the one who pursues the secrets of the world''.] Along with a cinematic video announcing the resurrection of Vulcan. Rice cake thrown to all users. As people began to spread the knowledge that Arcadia had ruins where ancient deities were still asleep, simr thoughts started popping up in their heads as if they had made a promise. -What if I awaken and resurrect a deity like Vulcanus...? Do you want to give me a mythical item? -There must be pretty goddesses among the sealed Heosin, right? - An apostle wandering Arcadia alone, carrying the huge mission of reviving the goddess... Kya, just imagining it makes my heart feel grand. -Even if it''s not as bad as shit, I don''t think the reward will be a joke if you be an apostle... Even if it''s a delusion, you''ll gain special power and power by bing an apostle of God, and you''ll be greatly attracted by the fact that you can be the main character on the stage of Arcadia. people. In addition, these special contents were no different from a shortcut to strength and growth, so so-called rankers or masters who operatedrge guilds began to move faster and more stealthily than anyone else. [Hire an explorer right now and find out.] [If an apostle is born in our guild, the entire guild will be able to quickly beat it.] [ If I only find that ruin... it would be possible to rank first...?] Content that people who are more sincere than anyone else in the game will not be able to tolerate. Originally, it would not have much repercussions except for those who eat rice with so-called games, but one pledge recently announced by Arcadia Co., Ltd. hit everyone''s chest with a napalm bomb and set it on fire. [This Arcadia hides huge narratives yet to be revealed. If anyone finds the grand narrative and the secrets of this continent and sees the final ending and final chapter of this world''s main stream... One person with the highest contribution will receive a 15% stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd. It is the most popr stock in reality, but ironically, no one can own it. Arcadia Co., Ltd. Arcadia''s stock became famous with the anecdote that famous investmentpanies and state-run funds from all over the world came with bundles of money and begged them to sell their stocks because the price didn''t matter, but they kicked them out with a snort. People were astonished at this crazy promise to give away as much as 15% of the enormously valuable stock that the three richestpanies in the world hold equally. -Giving shares of Arcadia...? Even 15%? -Are you really insane...? What the heck is the main stream...? - Ha ha ha ha ha ha The real world is going crazy. -No, does it make sense to give a stake in thepany just for ying games? Severalpanies, not individuals, began to aggressively attack the deration that they would give stocks of Arcadia Co., Ltd., coveted by investmentpanies all over the world, rather than sloppy prizes or prizes. -World''s No. 1 investmentpany, Blue Rock. Arcadia Ranker Open Recruitment. - Companies hiring pro gamers. A trick for the stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd.? - Investmentpanies that have be serious about the game. Is the 15% stake pledge true? - World''s 2ndrgest ITpany dime cent. The final chapter of Arcadia is dered to be seen by the great Chinese. Companies, not individuals, recruited rankers based on their enormous financial power, and real funds began to flow in to build a single force. In addition, American politicians also began to encourage this situation by rowing when the water came in. -US Treasury Department Arcadia''s virtual currency Gold'' is defined as amodity that can be linked with the real economy. -Goods earned in IRA Arcadia are also counted as ie. Overhaul of tax provisions. -Is it recognized as a currency'' equivalent to the gold reality linked to the dor? The U.S. government''s move began to be viewed as not just a game, but on an equal level with the real economy. In line with this atmosphere, a famous sociologist said that when various countries and political circles showed a movement to define the status of gold'' used in Arcadia as an international currency. [I think people''s perception of gamers should change now. It''s because so-called professionals'' such aswyers and doctors are earning ridiculously huge ies to be seen as losers who just waste time in the corner of the room and engage in unproductive behavior. ] Arcadia''s rankers scouted by an investmentpany. As their examples began pouring in from all over the ce, a new era began to open. An incident thatpletely changed the global perception of what is called a game and the situation itself. In the distant future, schrs saw and named a golden age of gaming that was brighter than ever. The age of big gamers. .... I mean. * * * At this moment, both real and virtual worlds are undergoing total upheaval. There was a young man who was watching TV nkly with indifferent and empty eyes, as if he had no interest in these changes. Lucas is a 24-year-old boy living in Boston, USA. He sat down at the table apathetically, without a change in his expression, ate breakfast and turned off the news broadcast that an overweight announcer was making a lot of noise about. The house became quiet as the sound filling the room disappeared in an instant. Except for the chirping birds outside, the house, which was quiet, was too unusually spacious for Lucas to live alone. ..... And at that moment, Lucas saw a family photo hanging on one side. Her smiling self, her parents who always supported and loved her, and her younger sister who took care of herself as an older brother even though they sometimes quarreled. In addition, a photo of memories with happy faces of everyone from childhood to the dog who has been with them all their lives. However, as he watched it, Lucas couldn''t ovee the pain of sadness that came over him again, so he trembled like crazy. Ha ha..... Ha ha..... Two years ago. Lucas lost all of his precious family members in an ident of injustice. Missing the only family event to go to a party with friends from college was the only thing that saved his life, but he''s been reduced to a living corpse ever since. The reason to live and the sense of purpose itself arepletely lost. He fell into a state where he could not sleep unless he depended on medicine because of the overwhelming guilt. Lucas, who lost the will to live alone in this world, eventually made an extreme choice and tried to find his own rest, but it was an advertisement video that saved him. [Are you tired of the old routine?] [Do you want to get another chance in the world of infinite possibilities?] [Invite you to the fantasy world of Arcadia.] Arcadia, the first virtual reality game everunched. As if possessed by something, Lucas purchases an enormous amount of capsules and steps into this virtual world for the first time. It was only in it that he could forget for a moment the hell of reality and feelfort. The first continent of Arcadia. Trezi, a peaceful little farming town not too far from the starting point for American yers. There is nothing special to say... This small vige with less than a hundred residents in the whole vige has not received attention from anyone. An area like a chaff where no quests or items are worth mentioning, and no economic profit can be obtained by solving everything by self-sufficiency. Most of them would have been nothing more than a nameless vige that passed by without paying attention, but to Lucas, this ce was literally the best ce to rest. hey! Morse, good morning today? A farmer greets Lucas as Morse as soon as he steps out of the cabin he built himself. Looking at him like that, Morse said with a wide smile as if he was happy to see him. You leave early today too, Mr. Pablo. Heh heh heh. The son of Hans asked for help because he was short of manpower. I''m asking for that goddamn child... but I''ve recently be a father and I''m busy, so what can I do? Pablo grumbles, but his face is full of smiles. Morse gave him a pleasant smile and said as if he remembered something. Come to think of it... didnt Mrs. Hans ask for some herbs? Oops... look at my mind. Pablo opens his mouth as if he had forgotten. And then he muttered, rolling his eyes as if embarrassed. This... I forgot to tell Kane because I was so busy... I must have gone to the mountain to gather herbs today... It''s impossible to follow. As he muttered with a troubled expression on his face, Morse smiled and said happily. Then I will go and tell Uncle Kane. The herb you need... was green forget-me-not, right? uh....? Ugh! that''s right! that! Can you really deliver it for me? Pablo became angry when he said that he would deliver it instead. Morse nodded his head at his question. sure. The vigers should help each other in difficult situations like this. thank you so much! I will repay you greatlyter, so please do me a favor? yes. You have a hard time today. At Morse''s words, Pablo hurries to plow the field again. While watching his back, someone happily ran to him as he moved toward the mountain. Morse oppaaaaaaa! Little girl toddling with short legs. Morse asked with a fatherly smile as he hugged the blue-haired girl who rushed into his arms with a flushed face. Did you sleep well, Ruby? Ugh! Who is Morses brother? Very pure blue eyes. Seeing Ruby''s bright eyes and feeling his heart melting warmly, he replied with a bright smile. then. You slept well. Ruby nodded when she said that she slept well. She asked with a curious face. By the way, oppa, where have you been going since morning? me? I had something to say to Uncle Kane, so I was on my way to the mountain. mountain....? Ruby, who is still around 6 years old. To her, Morse said that she was going to the mountain because it was a ce where she could not go outside the vige. Cant Ruby go too? Hmm... Does Ruby want to go to the mountain too? Ruby is always bored in town. Since she has no friends her age, she often ys around by herself, so Ruby started acting cute to Morse, who was making a puzzled expression. huh! Jebaal! Brother Morse! Ruby protests to be taken with a worldly cute expression. Morse, who briefly looked at her tricks, smiled broadly and said, okay. Come with me. really? Wow! Brother Morse is the best! Ruby clings to her leg excitedly when she hears that she is going to the mountain. With her on his shoulders, Morse began to slowly walk away. brother! Just as fast asst time! huh? The other day, you cried because you were scared. No! I wont cry this time! Then are you really going...? A peaceful day in the vige of Treji began amidst the cheers of a child sharply heard at his sprint . Without knowing the great tragedy that will blow upon this town in the future. Chapter 324 Chapter 324 Reality in Illusion (2) Jae-Young was caught up in Jae-Gyun''s kidnapping and couldn''t connect to Arcadia for over a month. He couldn''t hide his absurdity after examining every single thing that happened during his absence. No... what the hell were those bastards doing? The daily life of a destroyer who was his channel. Jaeyoung couldn''t keep his mouth shut when he saw the results of the insane video, which had previously had crazy levels of subscribers and views, but this time it achieved a new record that even he hadn''t achieved. [Total number of views: 10,324,129,782 times.] The number of video views that has exceeded 10 billion. Considering that the world''s poption has just passed 7 billion, it''s a devastating situation with ridiculous statistics showing that everyone on this has watched this video at least 1.3 times. No matter how popr Arcadia is, this kind of case honestly makes no sense, so Jaeyoung yed the video suspiciously, wondering if it was a bug, but soon realized that the results were real and nodded his head. Huh... that Vulcanus or something waspletely resurrected...? It even creates mythical items...? The Age of Lost Myths. It wasn''t such a surprise to Jaeyoung, since he had heard about the hidden story from Tan and L beforehand, but he never expected it to be revealed so quickly. Certainly I was a bastard. El''s eyes weren''t wrong... El, who urged investment in him generously from the time he was rotting as a ve in the mines. Thanks to her advice, Jae-young felt a sense of pride in his heart as he watched the dtongson, who had supported him both physically and mentally with his father''s heart, go on a winning streak with wings. Kasiyasu, this guy seems to have formed a fandom that wasnt too bad... Casis, who has changed his job to an all-weapon master and shows a markedly different strength than before. Of course, to Jaeyoung''s eyes, there were still some points where the controls were inexperienced, but thements from people who were enthusiastic about his smooth face and silent silence were all positive. -Kyaaaaaa! Casis Oppa! -brother! It''s so cool! My favorite streamer! -Please continue to broadcast! All of our Kasamos will cheer for you! Hepletely captured the hearts of female users. His battle scene, where he perfectly controlled dozens of weapons and captured hundreds of level 300 monsters without getting hit even once, was so beautiful that even a man could fall in love with him. And... Angelina, who built a fan base with a different meaning (?). -Magic! Warrior! Angelina! Magic! Warrior! Angelina! -Kiaaaang! Unya! That heavy iron bar in an earthen pot! -If you don''t die, beat until you die. There is no y pot that won''t break after being beaten 100 times! - Power Mage! Mage Power! Mage Power! Mage Power! -Nuna, by any chance, how old are you? Jaeyoung licked his lips with a strangely bitter expression as he saw those who shouted the earthen pot and were enthusiastic about her bolt magic. Yeah..... I wasnt like that when we first met... but for some reason, it seems that his personality has changed a lot. In the past, she looked like a naturally delicate girl who didn''t even get angry properly, but now she reveals the temperament of a savage and belligerent fighter who smashes the earthen pot first and sees it even if it''s slightly twisted. Looking at Angelina, who seemed to have be a different dimension to being a wizard, Jaeyoungughed. This... CEO Seowook Jo is so excited that his mouth must be tearing up... In a way, Iplus signed a contract with these three people because Jaeyoung let go of the bridge. Of course, it was true that they made a huge investment by paying a huge amount of billions of dors in advance only as a down payment, but this video alone made up for all the losses and gained enormous profits and fame, establishing itself as an unrivaled MCNpany. Starting with domestic terrestrial broadcasting stations such as MTC KSB, numerous partnership agreements have been negotiated with famous broadcastingpanies around the world, and advertisement offers from enormous conglomerates literally start pouring in, and the situation is screaming with happiness. So, Jaeyoung secretlyughed when he saw that the seeds he had sown were sprouting and bearing desirable fruits. This... isnt it a joke to have umted probabilities? Three people registered in the helper system. I''m a dumbass. Angelina. Casis. Based on the numerous changes and influences they created while traveling around Arcadia, Jae-young returns with a probability calcted. Seeing that while he was away, Jae-young triggered a huge incident that overthrew the entire continent of Arcadia, Jae-youngy down on the connector ced on the other side of the room with a face full of expectations. Woo woo woo. A high frequency sound that has been heard for a long time. In the midst of his blurred consciousness, a clear female voice sounded in Jaeyoung''s ears. [Wee to Arcadia, the world of fantasy.] As always, wee him to Arcadia, another world. * * * Thend of death, which used to be the imperial castle of the Shoen Empire, has now be a deste ruin. The one who weed Jae-young, who returned as a yer Dex to the nearby mountain range, was a guardian angel and a baby imp who were in a fierce life-and-death situation. Today, I will absolutely turn you into a whole chicken, you damn chicken. Hey, who''s to say? This time, I will pluck out your filthy tongue entirely and throw it away. Also, I don''t know why they''re fighting, but Tan and L look messy as if they''ve already had a fight. Not knowing that Jaeyoung had returned, they were fighting a bloody battle of nerves, spewing torches and hellfires. evil! Biting is against thew, you dirty bastard! joy! Who wants to pinch you? And did you see how the devil obeys the rules? This damn devil... he wants to see you for real... Tan and L are fighting like a childish elementary school student, scratching, pinching, and even biting each other. However, the holy fire emanating from their bodies as if they were shing with the horrors of the fallen hell clearly revealed how fierce this fight was. Woo woo woo. Cuckoo coo. Transcendent beings that only exist in mythology. These two, who were created directly by the Creator Father and endowed with appropriate divinity and dignity, did not change their essence even though they were covered in humble shells. The lord of all fallen creations, the ruler and ruler of the hell in this world, Satan the Demon King. Archangel Michael, the Aspect of Brilliant Glory and Light and the Most Honorable Protector of Heaven. Whenever these two transcendental absolutes, who each dominate a single dimension, collide with each other, a powerful wave spreads out around them. The fight between these two would be a huge event that would be recorded in the history books in Arcadia, but to Jae-young, who had seen these two fighting to the point of getting tired of it every fictional day, it was no different from a banal everyday life. fluff. Jae-young sat down in a corner with the intention of watching for the first time in a while. However, Tan and L, who suddenly turned their heads at the presence, noticed his presence staring at them and began to react violently. master! what! When did youe? You are here atst! Why the hell have you been away for so long? Two transcendent beings running around Jaeyoung with a friendly expression as if they had fought each other. They looked at him with curious eyes and asked. You almost died of boredom while waiting. What the hell are you doing now? This is the first time I''ve seen Dex-sama stay in another dimension for so long. What happened? No matter how perfect Arcadia is, a virtual world that is indistinguishable from reality, the essence is just a game in an illusion. Therefore, for most people living in the present life, this Arcadia was only a ce to stay for a short time, so amon setting was given to all NPCs to prevent a lot of confusion. [Adventurers endowed with the power of immortality are vagabonds who enjoy adventures from a distant otherworldly dimension, so they are strange and mysterious beings who always disappear and appear repeatedly.] So, while looking at Jaeyoung, Tan and At El''s question, he shook his head and spoke honestly. Ah... nothing else, I was kidnapped for a while. what....? kidnap? yes....? However, the demon king and the archangel look puzzled at his answer. And these two asked with a face that they couldn''t understand at all. No, the owner was kidnapped...? does that make sense? What happened to the kidnappers? Could it be that you wiped it all away? Couldnt you havemitted a vicious atrocity by blowing up another city? The devil who asks more about the safety of the kidnappers rather than his safety, and the angel who looks suspiciously at the carnage and bloodbath festival. At the unexpected reaction of the two, Jaeyoung frowned and said as if her heart was slightly hurt. No, how do you usually see me and say that? Do I look like the kind of guy who kills everyone if something goes wrong? In real life, Jae-young is a moral and upright man who never stepped on and killed an ant for fun. Having received such thorough training as to be a scab on the table, saying that one should not harm others, he was nothing more than an extremely ordinary and good-hearted citizen. Of course, it was apletely different story in Arcadia. Uh... isnt it? You killed everything you met. Tan takes out his precious notepad with a stupid expression, as if Jae-young''s words caused enormous cognitive dissonance. And he began to recount the atrocities(?) that Jaeyoung hadmitted in Arcadia one by one. Shall we review it once again? It''s not for nothing that I say that the owner is the source of evil, like a textbook that we demons must learn. First of all, let''s point out from the beginning.... You asked me to strengthen the slimes in order to ughter beginners who don''t know anything, right? Then, by corrupting a naive country lord, enving other adventurers and exploiting them, and provoking the Holy Church to cause a massacre called a witch hunt... Tan began to recite the notes he had written down without hesitation. Looking at the vast amount of scrolls piled up and dragging on the ground, Jae-young nced at L, who was watching quietly from the side, as if he was going to make a noise all day long if he didn''t dry it. Why are you just watching today, L? Every time Tan raises her thumb, saying that she is like the root of evil, she refutes and rushes at her. However, when asked by Jaeyoung if she didn''t mind, she shrugged her shoulders and said. Ive changed my mind a little bittely. What are you thinking? Looking at that scenery over there, I think of many things. Jaeyoung looked at the direction El was pointing with her finger. There was a t, deste in, as if something hadpletely pushed it away, and only a dreary, dreary wind was blowing. [Deste Ruins] The ce where the once glorious imperial castle of the Shouen Empire existed. However, looking at the ce that has now be and of death where not a single ant cub remains, El muttered with a bitter smile as if he had given up on something. Well... At first I thought that bastard bat was trying to corrupt an innocent human... but now I think I understand a little bit what that bastard is saying. A truly vicious act that oxidizes millions of lives to ashes in an instant. However, rather than being angry looking at it, this contradictory situation in which she should be grateful for having wiped out a greater sacrifice made her feel like she was corrupting her essence and source. So... from now on, Im going to admit that Dex-nim is vicious. what....? As if fighting pride, Tan and L were fighting childishly, arguing between the evil and the good with Dex in the middle. As if it was unexpected that the unending battle between the two ended so ndly due to L''s giving up, Jae-young opened her eyes wide and asked. . Then El smiled bitterly and muttered to himself. Because if I dont, I think Ill fall too. Chapter 325 Chapter 325 Reality Inside Illusion (3) Holy Empire Saint. Arcadia has the level of the strongest in the world, but it is a country that is close to a typical strong person who does not show any special movement and is always in seclusion. However, strange movements were being made inside the Holy See due to the recent colossal upheaval in Arcadia. I will report on the special situation between the continents under the Holy Father. Pope Amen who rules the Empire of Saint. Although he has the appearance of an old man exuding a profound aura, he looked down at the holy knight Egudiel, who was bowing his head to him, and nodded slightly with a benevolent yet sharp look in his eyes. The resurrection of the World Tree and the existence of other continents united by it have been confirmed with certainty. And... as the saintess said, we have confirmed the existence of divine kingdoms like our saint empire. With the resurrection of the World Tree, Arcadia has been fully integrated into one. However, several countries who werepletely unaware of the existence of other continents were in great confusion about this fact and were doing their best to figure out information about each other, but the Holy Empire was different. I guess so. Wasn''t the resurrection of the world tree and the resulting unification of all continents predicted from a very long time ago? Of course, it happened too suddenly and not as we expected, but it''s not that strange. St. Empire''s Secret Records Room Ark (ARK). Through numerous ancient documents and records that cannot be dated, the pope, the highest-ranking priests, and holy knights already knew the many hidden secrets of Arcadia that others did not know. That''s why, as soon as the continent was unified, they immediately dispatched envoys to all continents to check if there were people with the same faith as them. Aside from the Holy Empire Saint, the Holy Kingdoms existed one by one on the other 7 continents. Each of them was ruled by beings called Saint Kings'', and surprisingly, they were operated in a system very simr to the Saint Empire. These are the correspondences of the brothers who were called Holy Kings'' in the Holy Kingdoms. I was very happy to say that I had not been able to teach sincere faith to the believers because I had not received the teachings of the Holy Father and the Holy Lady, and I swore to obey the Pope. Egudiel''s report that the seven holy kingdoms swore allegiance to Saint Empire without any discord. At his story, Amen muttered to himself with a smile more satisfied than ever. How d it is to know that our brothers and sisters have thoroughly kept their faith in firm faith even after such a long time has passed. Continents that have been separated for so long. However, Amen said that even now, that sincere faith has not faded in the slightest. We recognize the status of all divine kingdoms, including the Holy King, as they are now. In addition, we will continue to allow all rights and autonomy of each kingdom except for special reasons. The pope''s deration that he will recognize the legitimacy and system of all the divine kingdoms that have been established by each other so far. ordingly, he took a quill on a piece of white parchment and scribbled something for a long time, then stamped it with his ring and said: Send envoys to the Holy Kingdoms to deliver letters. I hope that you will continue to spread God''s will throughout the continent of Arcadia and devote yourself with all your might to lead the followers. Amen that ended the confusion that would arise due to continental integration and ended traffic control. The time when a priest received and saved the letter he was handing over. Egudiel brought up the story again with a serious expression as if the report had not yet beenpleted. And...the seal of eternal ice has been broken. If it''s a seal of eternal ice... you mean that iceberg? Egudiel asked Amen with an expression of disbelief at his words. But he nodded vigorously as if he were sure. That''s right. I went there and checked it myself. I felt firsthand that all the ice that was holding down the sacredness of fire and steel melted and the heat emanating from the huge volcano enveloped the entirend. The immense heat of the mes spewing out as the Eternal Furnace starts operating. As a result, the minerals hidden in the melted ice were revealed, and the ce was transformed into apletely different look from before. A strange movement of dwarf ns is being detected everywhere. ording to the intelligence that came in.... they are abandoning the shelter they are currently living in and preparing to move there. Also... The informationing from the believers and priests of the Saint Empire spread all over the continent. As soon as I put all of these together and started reporting the rted contents one by one, Amen''s expression began to change seriously. Not only Dwarves, but halflings, wampy yodels, and even goblins are detecting such movements...? That''s right. Dwarf ns spread across each continent. Most of them were destroyed, but there was only one thing that meant that a simr phenomenon was appearing in all the surviving dwarf ns that were still alive. I will revive the civilization of the dwarfs again... I guess that''s what I mean. The sacred ce of Vulcan, the god of fire and steel, and a civilization once created by all dwarfs. Ommic. Egudiel said with a serious face to the movements of those who tried to recreate the splendid past in the present after their god was resurrected. His Holiness, that divinity of fire and steel was defined as an evil heresy in the distant past. If they reappear, I''m sure... I''ll confuse the world again and seduce and corrupt our followers. Amen, who ends Egudiel''s words by saying that he knows everything. But he shook his head as if not yet. But now it is premature. If such a movement was observed, we would of course continue to keep a close eye on it, but there is bound to be a lot of bacsh to move right now. Especially now that immortal beings called adventurers have appeared. Holy Empire Saint who had an absolute position on the continent of Arcadia in the past. However, starting with the witch hunt, they became more cautious than before. It is important to enlighten as much as possible those so-called adventurers to follow the teachings of our god. If we cause a fuss and the adventurers be dissatisfied with our Holy Empire, that can be the factor that weakens their faith. Even if you kill and kill, you will be resurrected and retaliate like a vicious being. adventurers. After killing them indiscriminately and eventually experiencing a huge mistake that created a tremendous evil force called the Maroon Kingdom. they realized The fact that the way to solve it by killing all the wrong things like before doesn''t work any more. We cannot ignore the influence of the Dwarf race. Of course, if they really want to resurrect the omnics... then they''ll have to be punished ruthlessly... Koo-Goo Pce. Quaang. Amen, who soothed Egudiel by saying that it was not the time yet. However, he shut his mouth when he saw a young nun storming into his office with a contemtive face. His Holiness the Holy Lady... the Holy Lady..... A nun assisting the Saint. When she couldn''t speak properly with a frightened face, Amen raised his divine power with a friendly smile. Whoops. A divine power that has the effect of calming the mind. As the immense Pope''s divine power directly wrapped around her body, the young nun quickly regained her stability in the strength and warmth she felt inside. Has anything happened to the saintess? Why are you making such a fuss? Saint Seo saw the revtion... but she showed a totally different reaction than before ... A saintess with weak power like a candle in front of the sun. But instead, she was endowed with special powers that no one else had. [Pioneer of causality] A saintess who can use the special powers of an archangel and ruler of heaven, albeit weakly. Her powerful foreknowledge and revtion had yed a major role in establishing the Holy Empire as a nation with great influence, so Amen had never listened to her words. And in such a violent reaction she had never seen before, she passed out screaming in agony and fear. He cried out in a painful voice I had never heard before. He has now copsed from exhaustion... No matter how much divine power he pours into it, he will not regain consciousness. A saintess who copsed after suffering a tremendous psychological blow. What the hell did he see that caused such a violent reaction? So why did the saintess scream and fall down? I dare say that... I dont understand the phrase... The nun frowned as if she couldnt remember it well, muttering with an expression of uncertainty. But as if it was okay, Amen nodded and urged again. Okay. Be as honest as you remember. In that case... I dare to deliver the revtion the saintess told me instead. Revtion delivered directly to the pope through the saintess in an otherwise solemn atmosphere. So she shuddered for a moment at the fact that she had to do such a serious act herself, then took a deep breath and opened her mouth with a more serious face than ever before. An ancient divinity whose name was erased a long time ago will resurrect on this earth, so starting with him, all the divinities on this continent n another resurrection. The Age of Lost Myths. The young girl spoke again, telling the story of adventurers traveling all over the continent to awaken all the divinities that had been forcibly sealed. But all this is the will of God, so worship and praise his vast love and mercy. hmm....? ...? A saintess who tells a revtionpletely different from what they were talking about just before. The Pope and Egudiel tilt their heads at her story and react strangely. Then the young nun shut her mouth in amazement at the thought that she had done something wrong. I am sorry, His Holiness the Pope. Even if I make a mistake... The pope and the highest-ranking holy knight were so high that even making eye contact made them feel breathless. That''s why she had no choice but to react sensitively to each small gesture of these two people. No. It''s not like that, but it''s because it doesn''t seem like a revtion that would cause the saintess to be in so much pain and fear. It''s a little confusing, but it''s still a story with no special content. However, at the words of Amen, she shook her head vigorously from side to side and replied. Everything I said was fine. Since then, the saintess has suddenly changed... When the nun said that it was not over yet, she gestured with a serious face to continue. Amen. At his hand signal, she said with a terrified face. However, all of this will be the seed of another unexpected tragedy, and a huge chaos that no one can stop will blow across the continent... A saintess who foresaw theing of a huge disaster starting with the resurrection of Vulcan . . And she struggled with the definite future that was toe. Fear me, mortals. Kneel down, all those who live on thisnd... And worship... The moment when the owner of the ck mist descends to Arcadia again. Arcadia could be destroyed... Numerous second half crises on a huge scale that no one can handle. One of the triggers started to work. Chapter 326 Chapter 326 Reality in Illusion (4) Thank you so much Morse. If it wasn''t for you, I would have been in great trouble. Pablo returns from farming. Even though it waste in the afternoon when the sun was setting, he did not return home and was covered in dirt as if he hade straight to Morse. What. It wasn''t even that hard. Morse, who simply went up to the hill behind the vige and delivered the words instead. So he waved his hand like it was nothing. no. I''ve thought about it before... but you seem really different from the other rumored adventurers. When ites to vige affairs, he takes the initiative more than anyone else, and when there is a difficult situation, he takes the lead and helps anyone without hesitation... Pablo, who was talking to himself, suddenly became emotional, and his voice trembled. He must have done countless things Morse did for this vige. Thank you. Hey, why are you doing this again? Morse gave an awkward smile as if he were embarrassed to show his sincere gratitude. But Pablo spoke to him with a more serious face than ever before. If the vige chief died like that and you hadn''t been there, this vige would probably have been scattered and disintegrated. It is thanks to you that we saved this vige from ruin and escaped the fate of living a life of wandering vagabond, so no matter how many times we thank you, we cannot express our feelings. Treji, a vige of sh-and-burn farmers on the path of decline. Those who scrape by by gathering herbs and trees and doing small-scale farming were unable to make a living due to the sudden increase in the number of monsters, and it was getting difficult little by little. [Why did the number of monsters increase so much...?] [Yesterday, too, the Caleb family was killed...] [If we can''t go to the mountain to pick up herbs, what should we eat tomorrow... ] A situation where you have to risk your life to carefully dig herbs and farm. However, there were virtually no measures to ovee these problems for them. [Heng? Subjugating monsters for a small town of less than 100 people? Are you kidding me right now?] [Uhm..... In the Erda Mountains, we''re in danger too... We have to pay at least 100 gold...] An official from the lord''s castle who snorts and shows an indifferent attitude. However, even if the entire vige raised money, they couldn''t afford to hire mercenaries at an exorbitant price. The moment when even the vige headman loses his life in the attack of monsters and virtually the entire vige is about to copse. Morse was the first to set foot in this vige. [Morse, the savior of Trezi Vige] He wiped out all the monsters near the Erda Mountains where Trezi Vige is located. They were finally able to safely enter the mountains after killing the notorious Twin Head Ogre, who had always terrorized the vige and dominated the entire district. That''s it... I just did what I could. He hunted not just savage wild beasts or kobold-level monsters, but twin-headed ogres whose victory could not be easily guaranteed even if knights who could use aura appeared. He was talking like it was nothing, but everyone in the vige, including Pablo, knew very well what it meant. No..... If you''re at the level of your level, you''re probably a strong person who makes this entire continent lively. Even if they are worms stuck in a mountain valley, gathering herbs and farming, they dont know that much. There may be unknown circumstances, but he suddenly appeared a year ago andpletely settled in this vige. At first, he secluded himself in great despair and was in poor condition to the extent that he could not properlye out of his ce, but with the persistent interest andfort of the vigers, he improved iparably. I don''t know what''s going on. But adventurers like you can''t stay in a small town like this forever. ..... Morse became much brighter than before. Pablo, who thought he was ready to step into the world again, never wanted to let him go out of personal greed, but spoke sincerely for him who had a huge bowl that they could not handle. Anytime is fine. You don''t have to stay here because of us, so if you have something you want, don''t hesitate to leave. What is that... Morse asked with a puzzled face at Pablos words. But Pablo interrupted him as if he wasn''t finished yet. Don''t worry. No matter how long the journey takes, we will always be here waiting for you. This cabin and this vige... will always be your home and family. Virtual Reality Arcadia. Morse, who knows that everything is an illusion of data made of 0 and 1... No, it was Lucas, but at this moment, looking at Pablo giving him advice with a very serious face, I felt a sense of realism at this moment. pounding. The reality of losing everything that was precious overnight. It was none other than the residents of this vige who gave him the will to live again, who was despairing and frustrated in hellish pain day by day. That''s why Morse smiled as he saw Pablo thanking him. Thank you very much. Hmm...? what....? Morse says thank you, but instead expresses his gratitude. When Pablo asked, his eyes widening as he didn''t know the reason at all, he said, Its just everything... not knowing what kind of pain Im experiencing, and providing such a cozy ce for me, a stranger I dont know, and taking care of and showing interest in many ways. He deliberately built a nice hut for himself with all the vigers gathered, and prepared meat dishes that he didn''t know where to find when he didn''t have enough to eat. Because he knows the hearts of those with sincerity, he was able to open his heart and treat them sincerely, even though he understood that all of this was an illusion. For me, this time is fun. Eating the food Aunt La made and ying with Ruby. Uncle Kane and Uncle Pablo... And the way Grandpa Feynman gets drunk and gets drunk. Those trivial and trivial daily life are precious moments that I dont want to miss. Unlike other people who enjoy Arcadia as a game and entertainment, Morse is living his real life here. That''s why he said to Pablo, who was staring nkly at him, as if telling him not to worry. Do not worry. There maye a day when I will leave this town... but not right now. Morse will remain here of his own volition. As if his heart was a little relieved by his story, Pabloughed with his usual mischievous smile. Then... Shall we have a beer with my uncle? Uh... Do you think Aunt Dorothy will be very angry then? You didn''t evene home? He was dressed in loose clothes with agricultural implements slung over his shoulders. Morse asked with a bewildered look as he remembered his wife, who would be waiting for the table just by looking at it, but he said with a big smile as if it didn''t matter. On a pleasant day like this, you still have to drink. Just have one drink and go. Uh..... Wait a minute..... I wonder if the present I received the other day is still there..... A drinking party suddenly unfolded at Morse''s house. However, this ce grew bigger and bigger because of the men who had gathered not long after, until it was finally suppressed by Dorothy who appearedte at night with a poker. Daily life in a small rural vige that is so peaceful and naive. Even though it was virtual, Lucasughed and cried and enjoyed the moment with all his heart. In order to soothe the solitude, loneliness, and sadness that drives you crazy in your heart. * * * Numerous sses that exist in Arcadia. Among them, divine sses such as priests and pdins have always been very popr among people. - It''s true that priests are noble jobs. How do you raid without heals and buffs? - The pdin is the best man. The tang is very hard, but you can heal it, and the dildo is on the side, right? -Besides, the recognition among NPCs is very good. Even when negotiating or negotiating,pared to other users of the same rank, it seemed that they were rated at least 2 levels higher. -The church discount is not bad, right? No matter how low-end you are, you get at least a 10% discount on potions. decent abilities. high-efficiency skills. In addition, because they were able to bring enormous influence and superiority from NPCs under the tremendous sign of the Holy Empire, they were able to grow into higher rankers faster than anyone else. Holy Guild Holy Cross. This guild, made up of clergy and pdins, quickly grew into one of the threergest guilds in North America, enjoying tremendous fame and rapidly increasing its power. The Holy Church has sent a letter to our guild. Holy Cross Guild Master Hallelujah. He epted the letter that came in suddenly, checked the seal stamped on the sealed wax, and asked with a puzzled face. A letter sent directly from the Holy King? suddenly? The Holy King who reigned as the absolute number one in the Holy Church of the North American continent. He had never sent a letter like this before, so Hallelujah opened the seal with a look of half curiosity and half anticipation. Hmm... What is it written on? Hallelujah''s servant and sub-master of the Holy Cross Guild. Looking at him frowning with a stiff face, Agatha asked with curious eyes. I don''t know, but... I think it''s a guild-only quest? [Do you ept the quest Cultural Investigation Request''?] A translucent message pops up in front of you as soon as you finish reading the letter. Looking at it, Hallelujah was able to notice that this was a quest dedicated to the guild only asionally. The question is... But why is the King Seong delivering this directly? I''ve never had anything like this before...? A quest that seems to be on apletely different level from trivial cooperation or support requests. Besides, even the contents of the letter were so meaningful that Hallelujah''s head began to spin even moreplicated. Find the hidden traces of the ancient gods... isnt this rted to the main scenario that was recently revealed? Yes. It''s making a lot of noise these days. Be an apostle of God and resurrect the ancient god who was sealed away. Agatha nodded her head and replied, as there is no one who does not know that the stock price of professional explorers has risen high without knowing that the stock price of professional explorers is sky high because of people who dig through all kinds of ancient records to be the main character of this huge narrative. By the way... ording to the contents of this letter here, we must erase all traces of the site and block it out? yes....? no why? It''s me, don''t you know? A quest that seems to be rted to the main scenario. However, seeing the letter that said to thoroughly erase the traces of these ancient gods and keep them buried as secrets, Hallelujah rolled his head for a long time to guess the meaning of the church including the Holy King. What are you going to do? Hallelujah with a mighty influence that no one dares to oppose in this Holy Cross. So, without giving any advice, Agatha nced at him and asked. And to her question, Hallelujah got up from his seat and answered with a meaningful expression. Well... I don''t know for sure, but I can''t refuse the quest the King himself gave me. Hallelujah, who officially epted the quest by pressing the ept button. And he said with a strange smile as if he had guessed it roughly. Still, can you guess why they gave you this quest? From the standpoint of the monotheistic sacred church, other ancient gods suddenly begin to appear...? It''s terribly inconvenient and I''d say no. A sacred denomination of monotheistic ideology. Agatha nodded as if she understood, and asked, as he understood. So... where is the quest area? Let''s see... if you look at the coordinates written roughly... The continental map pasted on one side of the wall. He slowly moved his finger here and there and looked at it. He pointed at a point with his finger and smiled. . Its the Erda Mountains. Chapter 327 Chapter 327 Death''s Apostle (1) Arcadia wouldn''t be strange to call it another world. People jumped into this perfect world for different reasons. Just for a quick bite of fun or entertainment after returning from work or school. In the twilight of life, in order to challenge the dream that he could not achieve, either virtually or again. To forget the painful reality that is no different from hell and feelfort and constion for a while. For various reasons, men and women of all ages jumped into this virtual reality and enjoyed the adventure for their own purposes, but most of the users had a separate purpose. money. Money in English. Unlike other games, Arcadia adopts a unique andplex economic structure. Therefore, unlike other general games, intion, which should ur indefinitely over time, did not ur in this world. [Eh... I don''t have a perfect understanding of the virtual reality system, but basically the world of Arcadia adopts an economic structure that is terrifyingly simr to the real world. The price of everything is formed ording to supply and demand and fluctuates in real time.] A famous American economist said in an interview that he was astonished at the economic structure operating inside Arcadia. He spoke confidently on the spot. [And the vastness of its scale. There are definitely some parts that have beenpromised and adjusted to some extent for the sake of the game, but nevertheless, the value of currency is kept stable so exquisitely. I don''t know if the management team and the developer are nning and controlling all of this one by one.... If such a vast economic market is being operated so perfectly, they must be outstanding talents who should be recruited by the Ministry of Finance, not by the gamepany. I will.] The ability to control close to perfection itself. In reality, production and supply are controlled at a level that is almost impossible, and the economy is stably adjusted to meet the insanely explosive demand. Arcadia''s gold began to establish itself as another currency through this tremendous economic management ability that would make the Ministry of Strategy and Finance or the US Treasury roll their eyes and drool. In other words, virtual reality, a profitable business item. That''s why guilds, which are organizations in games that are created in a haphazard fashion, have begun to be created in a really systematic and professional structure, rather than a rule of thumb like other traditional and ssic games. -Decision on strategic alliance with Judgment Guild Hajin Group. 30 billion investment. - Guilds in virtual games that are bing corporate. Is this also a new future industry? - Guilds that earn in-game currency. Companies drooling over their staggering performance. Guilds that recruit only carefully selected talents through difficult interviews and screenings and put up huge down payments to secure influence in the game and try to lead the way. Among them, it was clear that Holy Cross was clearly at the forefront of any other guild. [I have found the entrance of the ruins that has an ominous energy.] [A strong death energy is blocking the entrance.] [You must satisfy the hidden conditions to enter.] Hmm..... It was hidden in a ce like this. Guess? Somewhere in the middle of the Erda Mountains, a very small gap between rocks wide open enough for one person to fit through. There were huge thorny vines growing on a huge boulder that no one would care about, so there was something hidden there, full of deep darkness that no one dared to grasp, where monsters and other creatures wouldn''t evene close. It''s a powerful death energy... I don''t know what it is, but it must be a divinity rted to evil. It seems so. Just looking at the phrase, it''s a historic site thates out with a quote. Hallelujah suddenly smiled as he looked carefully at the entrance, which was exuding an ominous energy just by looking at it. This is true. Did you mean to keep those old people in check like this because they were worried that their rice bowl would decrease? Vulcanus, the god of fire and steel. His divinity was obviously not that threatening to the Church, so Hallelujah did not understand the Holy King''s instructions to hinder and prevent their resurrection at first, but now he knew exactly what it meant. By the way... what exactly do you mean? Hallelujah for discovering the ruins that were a condition for the sess of the quest. Strangely, however, various notification sounds were popping up, but not as much as a message announcing the sess of the quest. That moment when I tilted my head like that and pondered for a while. Suddenly, a refreshing message began to be heard. [The investigation request of the Quest Church has been updated.] [Please check the rted information.] A message indicating that the contents of the quest have been newly updated. Hallelujah, who confirmed that, soon turned his head and began to gaze at the bush not far away. rustle. A sudden loud sound of grass. Then, I saw the back of a man who ran away in a hurry without looking back with a baggy bag on his back, but Hallelujah didn''t panic at all and activated the skill in a small voice. The weight of faith weighing down. Woo woo woo. cooong. With the activation of the Divine Bondage skill, he slumped on the floor and mmed his face into the ground. And Hallelujah, who slowly approached the subdued prey, soon found a middle-aged man with a terrified face. I am very sorry. This lowly guy passed by and identally saw something he shouldn''t have seen... He didn''t ask anything, but he said he was sorry and bashed his head. The symbol of the Holy Church engraved on the priest''s uniform and the armor of the Pdins meant that the NPCs had tremendous authority and power that they could not dare to treat carelessly. His name... Kane...?'' Hallelujah as I nced at the name appearing above the frightened NPC''s head. And he soon nced at Kane''s appearance from top to bottom, and was able to roughly figure out his identity. It looks like you were a herbalist digging up herbs here. Sorry to disturb you. Excuse me, just in case it''s a group of wicked people who are interfering with God''s will. Whoops. Hallelujah, who waved his hand with a benevolent and benevolent smile and released the restraints holding down Kane. Then he lifted him up, who was trembling with fear, and told him not to misunderstand. Do not worry. The Holy Church is a ce for powerless people like you. I have no intention of using them of taking a quick nce at us out of curiosity while passing by. Aaaaaaaa thank you. thank you. Kane was terrified of what would happen here. He bowed his head in gratitude over and over again for the unexpected warm hospitality. By the way... can I dig herbs deep in the mountains until thiste? It is time for the sun to set soon. As the sun went down, it started to get dark little by little. Looking at the sky for a moment, Hallelujah asked with a worried face, and Kane said with a smile. Oops. no. It was still on the way back to the vige. It''s not too far from here, so if you go down diligently, you can arrive before sunset. The rugged Erda Mountains with norge towns or cities nearby. That''s why Hallelujah asked with a little surprised look. Ah... Was there even a vige in this rugged mountain? Yes yes. It''s a vige of sh-and-burn farmers who have few vigers and can''t pay their taxes properly... The priests probably don''t know. Kane smiled and scratched his head as if he was embarrassed to speak. But Hallelujah shook his hand as if he was okay. It doesn''t matter. If you don''t mind, can we stay overnight in the vige? I was nning to stay homeless because there is no vige in the vicinity, but it turned out well. yes....? Are you in our vige? why? Will it be difficult? The existence of those who are single, single and have a good smile, but something anxiety surges in their hearts. However, Kane nodded as if he was being pushed in the warning sound of a strange instinct that he should not refuse the request and said. Oh no. Let''s go. Kane began to walk somewhere rustling through the bushes. Hallelujah, who had beenughing single-singly at his back, was sneering with a coldugh before he knew it. Hey, now I know. That''s why they gave us, adventurers, these quests? They don''t want blood on their hands. A quest that does not appear to beplete even after finding the entrance to the sealed ruins. And the residents of the nearby vige who witnessed them while passing by as if fate. As a result, Hallelujah''s quest was changed to somethingpletely different. [Quest Dead Men Tell No Tales] A ruin where a very evil and ominous god is sealed. However, an ignorant herbalist witnessed the existence of the ruins. Those who don''t know if they''re drunk and spreading secrets that should sleep forever. Are you willing to put blood on your hands to prevent the sacrifice of all innocents in order to preserve the peace of this continent? -Destroy viges near sealed ruins (0/1) The easiest and fastest way to hide a secret. Murderous Extinction This is an incredibly brutal and horrific quest that requires you to burn down the viges that exist near the Erda Mountains and kill everyone. However, none of his subordinates, including Hallelujah, felt any moral remorse. Guild leader, then can we just follow him and get rid of him? Well... it''s a very small scale, so it shouldn''t take that long. They expected a tough battle, but there were fewer monsters than expected, and the thought that they were going to eat a piece of cake made themugh and chatter as if their tension was relieved. They slowly began to follow Kane. And... it wasn''t long before the sunpletely set and it was an early night. A bright light began to emanate from the vicinity of the Erda Mountains. Burning down a small vigepletely. By destroying all innocent life that existed within it. * * * This is...? why....? After sleeping soundly for the first time in a while, Lucas esses the game. He had apparently disconnected from his cabin and stood there for a long time in disbelief as he looked at himself in the ruins where everything was charred and scattered in white ash. My... Pablo... Mister! Uncle Kane! As if not only his own hut but the entire vige werepletely engulfed in fire, the residual heat that still remains is feeling hot. As if he couldn''t ept the current situation, he ran around like crazy and called out to people anxiously. Miss L! Mrs. Dorothy! Ruby! Precious people who greeted you whenever you essed the game. Even though they were NPCs, theyughed, cried, got angry, and treated themselves like family, just like living people. A very faint moaning sound came from somewhere. Mo Morse... Uncle Kane! He was already seriously injured and dying. Looking at his condition, Morse hurriedly took out a health potion from his inventory, but it was not a level of injury that could be saved with only an intermediate potion. Im sorry. I''m so sorry..... It''s all my fault..... Kane kept repeating his apology even in the midst of the rapidly dying me of life. Looking at him like that, Morse felt the trauma of the paste to mind again, trembling like crazy and weeping silently. They said they saw things I shouldnt have seen in the mountains, and this entire vige... Crying. Cain trembled, unable to speak properly, vomiting blood from his mouth. And he looked with difficulty at Morse, and was clearly speaking to him. I''m sorry.'' A strange voice suddenly began to be heard in the ears of Morse, who was crying in grief and despair while holding Kane, who had died while dying in gray, leaving only a word of sorry until the end . [Do you want power?] An evil voice so sticky and full of darkness. The whisper, which sounded so small that it made me think that I might have gone mad, began to sound more intense little by little. [If you long for revenge, find me.] [I will help you with your revenge.] And... a message he had never seen before appeared before his eyes. [The death of the beginning is watching you.] [You have obtained the secret of the quest Erda Mountains.] Chapter 328 Chapter 328 Death Apostle (2) The second main scenario of unified Arcadia. [Act. 2 Resurrection of Divinity] After this scenario was revealed, Arcadia entered an era of pioneering. - ces designated as forbidden areas on each continent... If you know it, isn''t it a ce where sealed historical sites are hidden? -I know? The ce Ttongson went to was also one of the golden regions of the Korean continent, right? - There will be anything at once. Every suspicious ce is worth a look. Adventurers who started exploring without hesitation, going from areas lined with incredibly powerful monsters to dangerous ces where entering in itself is life threatening due to the extreme environment. As they began to explore the unknown territory that had not yet been explored, a series of enormous variables began to ur in Alice''s system. [Discover Traces of Secret Societies''.] [Create scenario Flying Apocalypse''.] [Create scenario False Hypocrisy False Faith''.] [Create scenario The Coming of the Four-legged Giant''.] . . . Warning messages ringing like crazy. Looking at these things, President Lee Mi-yeon sighed deeply and shook her head with an expression that something hade. Ha..... It ends up like this..... The rm that only sounded when a huge narrative that had a profound impact on the entire continent was created. But now, like an advertisement message flying in, it was warning her of the harbingers of a great typhoon that was about to blow over Arcadia. Why are there so many main scenario decisions? Prediction scenarios in her inbox. Looking at the titles written in red as if they all had the potential to develop into a main scenario that would have a profound impact on the entire continent, President Lee Mi-yeon grumbled with a tired expression. [Currently, 62 quests with the potential to trigger the main scenario have been created. Manager, please review it quickly.] Pieces of huge narratives secretly hidden all over the continent. As soon as he started touching them indiscriminately, President Lee Mi-yeon grumbled as if he didn''t dare to open the mail at all, seeing the enormous reports piling up in his mailbox. No, but is this too much? When are you reviewing all of this? Huge stories that will shake the entire continent of Arcadia one by one. They all contained various stories. From the great disaster that will blow upon this world, to the story of the unsung hero and the worst viin that will nevere back to brilliant prosperity. Events that will have a powerful influence on all beings living on this continent. It was impossible to simply skim through these items and pass them away, but it was clear that the amount was toorge for President Lee Mi-yeon to review alone. [However, due to the current management level, only the administrator has the authority to ess the main scenario.] A grand narrative that prates the entire continent. main scenario. Until now, such a scenario had not urred so often, so President Lee Mi-yeon managed and dealt with it himself, but now he realized that it was impossible. Hmm... President Lee Mi-yeon, who had been rolling her pen for a long time with a serious contemtion on her face, making a deep voice. And she immediately asked Alice with a worried face. Are there any scenarios that have urred that correspond to thete stage crisis? A disaster itself that no one in Arcadia dared to handle. When asked if anyone had touched thetter crisis created and nted by Asura, the owner of the ck Mist, Elise answered after a brief confirmation. [Note stage crisis scenarios have been confirmed so far.] Alice answered that the scenarios that have urred so far are safe. At her words, President Lee Mi-yeon closed her eyes, took a deep breath and was relieved, then said with a twinkle in her eyes. Ellis, first of all, Ill make some adjustments to the business management authority. [What kind of adjustment are you talking about?] President Lee Mi-yeon smiled at Alice''s question about what to do. And she opened the organization chart of Arcadia Co., Ltd. with a click of the mouse, and soon began to carefully examine it. In the future, like this, from the main scenario to the lower grade, it will start pouring out like crazy, but I cant review all of them forever. As long as there is a change, the work of me and the staff must be adjusted ording to the change. Then she saw the name of a familiar department and murmured with a strangely evil smile. I didnt know it would turn out like this... How did you manage to get the department members back to work? Good. President Lee Mi-yeon muttered while poking her finger at the monitor. Her finger was pointing at a department that existed alone, unlike other departments that were connected like a spider''s web. [Crisis Management Response Team] President Lee Mi-yeon, who changed the department that developed quests and scenarios into a department with a strange name that she had never heard of before. After that, she heard an enormous amount ofints rted to this, including formal written documents and gossip in the bathroom, but she did not blink an eye. But now, CEO Lee Mi-yeon has decided to grant the favor they have always been anxiously wanting and shouting about. Ill give special powers to crisis management response team members. So that employees in the department, including Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, can ess information rted to the main scenario and review it to assess the risk and direct other departments to devise necessary countermeasures. It''s what they normally do anyway, so there''s nothing special to say. [You mean the entire main scenario?] Yeah. Exclude only those rted to thete crisis. Except for that, everything else. President Lee Mi-yeon proudly deres that she will not do any troublesome work. However, Alice, who had no emotions, judged only whether her instructions were reasonable, and then proceeded to implement the measures indifferently. [Confirmmand. Reorganization of business management authority. Creation of special powers for the department. Reassignment of duties.] Serious reports with red titles disappearing from her mailbox in an instant. President Lee Mi-yeon sat down on the chair with a satisfied smile at the fact that there was no need to review an enormous amount of documents, reaching as many as 1,000 pages per document. ah. Alice, could you y some ssic songs with a nice atmosphere? [Okay, boss.] A pleasant afternoon when the warm sunlight shines through the window. For a long time after that, she enjoyed her own break, enjoying ssical music yed by Ellis. Little aware of the mournful screams from the office below. * * * Arcadia is just a simple entertainment for some people. However, Lucas, a young American, was living a real life by immersing himself in this virtual world more seriously than reality. That''s why he felt a tremendous sense of loss, sadness, and anger at the death of an imaginary NPC who had no value. In his despair, a divinity that even lost its existence awoke from the time of eternity. [The death of the beginning is watching you.] A quest that suddenly flew to him who was crying out in grief. After that, Morse began wandering around the entire Erda Mountains as if he had lost his mind. Without any ie, he stopped eating and drinking for days and days without sleeping properly, essing the game for most of the 24 hours and starting to wander around like crazy. The result of overturning the entire mountain and searching for it with a mad obsession, burning with a terrible vengeance. He finally found the ce the Holy Church had been trying to keep a secret. Woo woo woo. A gap between huge rocks. A terrible darkness leaking out little by little from inside, small enough for one nimble person to enter. Morse hesitated for a moment with a tense face at the energy that seemed so ominous. However, as he slowly brought his hand into the darkness, apletely different message appeared before his eyes. [You have found the ruins where the energy of the beginning of death is sleeping.] [The death of the beginning has allowed you to enter.] [Do you want to enter the ruins?] The keywords listed in the quest. death in the beginning. Convinced through the message that the ce he was looking for was right, Morse pressed Y in front of him without hesitation. and that moment. The huge darkness that swayed from the cracks in the rocks erupted in an instant and swallowed him up. [The death of the beginning is testing you.] As I heard a strange message that I couldn''t understand. * * * What is...?'' Morse seemed to be floating in space without feeling for a long time. However, he frowned as he felt that the entire area was full of wet liquid with a sticky, fishy smell, even though he could not see anything. And then. Ominous purple mes bloomed everywhere and soon began to illuminate everything around him, and he finally knew the identity of the sensation he felt unpleasant. This is ..... The blood of the dead filling the entire narrow cave. Dark red blood was flowing everywhere, and the pile of corpses that had lost the spark of life was so grotesque that a normal person would be shocked. ..... But even after seeing that scene, Morse was so calm. Rather, he looked at the corpses strewn around him one by one with a colder and colder face than ever before and moved on. Bodies in the form of Trezi vigers. Feeling filthy, as if prepared by someone with a bad taste who seemed to inflict mental pain on himself and enjoy it, Morse said nothing at the intense anger welling up in his chest and made his way through the long, unstoppable cave. And how long did it take? A ck child with only bones and skin left greeted him. This is... A being in the form of a young boy whose legs are firmly fixed in chains tied to a stake that seems to be deeply embedded. But as soon as he saw the child smiling so casually, Morse knew he was the one whispering to him. Did you find this narrow pit? A child smirking as if he saw an interesting toy. He asked Morse as if he knew everything. Do you want revenge? what? Don''t you want to make those who brutally murdered the ones you hold dear feel the same fear of death? A being who seems to know exactly what he wants. He was whispering with a very ominous smile in the form of a child. Death should be fair to everyone. Beings who have exhausted their allotted life time must leave this Arcadia and return to the circle of cirction. That is the absolutew my father created, and it is my mission to abide by and follow thatw. The ck child talking about iprehensible stories to himself. He moved his body to stand up somehow, but he fell down again due to the strong iron chain, and soon he said to him with strangely sparkling eyes. So... I will give you the power to take revenge. Please do my favor instead. ask? Morse asked what it was. The child answered the question. Bring death to this world. ...? Morse tilted his head as if he couldn''t understand. However, as if the ck child didn''t care, she handed him a purple dagger with geometric patterns engraved on it and said as if she was really excited. My name is...death. The first beings created in the Genesis of Arcadia. Among them, the death of the beginning, which was given the mission of death and was born. death. His divinity began to struggle to break the seal that was holding him down. Chapter 329 Chapter 329 Death Apostle (3) Morse, an adventurer who ys Arcadia. Until one day his daily life copsed due to a sudden tragedy, he was living a life as an assassin in this virtual world. Hidden ss Shadow Assassin. By chance, he got a job specializing in infiltration and surprise attacks, where he moves freely through the shadows and takes the life of the target in an instant. Originally, he had a calm and cool personality, so Morse soon gained quite a reputation in the back alleys and underworld by assassinating outstanding strongmen and important factors under tight security and tight security. [Did you hear the news? They say that a secret messenger of death who travels through the shadows has infiltrated our city.] [As usual, don''t forget to lock the door when you go to bed. Because you don''t know when an unexpected death wille.] [You''d better not do anything to incur the wrath of the underworld. I''ve been hearing a lot of strange deaths these days.] Among users who y as an assassin, he has built up tremendous achievements that cannot be dared to approach. Morse, a shadow assassin who murdered aristocrats and NPCs with enormous influence, creating all sorts of ghost stories and fears among them. However, he suddenly disappeared one day and disappeared from this world in an instant. And... this moment. Secluded in a small vige, he was resurrected to this world again, seeking his own peace and rest. [You havepleted the quest The Secret of the Erda Mountains.] [The death of the beginning has designated you as an apostle.] [ You have changed your job to an enforcer of the hidden ss rotation.] [You have acquired the authority Mortal.] [Mission system has been added.] . . . messages flooding in. Looking at them, Morse was able to realize that he had recently obtained content rted to the second scenario that has been making a lot of noise on the Inte. Is this an apostle... Among the newly acquired titles, there was one that glowed in purple text as if I were special. [Apostle of Death] An unknown being who introduced himself as the beginning of death. Although he didn''t know anything about him exactly, Morse could at least know exactly what the child wanted by looking at the newly created authority and the purple dagger in his hand. cycle. A life is born, lives, dies, and disappears. Understanding his will to realize thew of life and death, which should bemon to all things, on this earth, he can''t help but think for a moment as he sees the absurd power bestowed upon him... I was speechless and shocked. Its fun. He had been thinking in silence for a while. However, Morse suddenly began to equip the items he had sealed in his inventory with a mad smile in apletely changed mood. flutter. He threw off the ordinary clothes that had no previous abilities and wore ck clothes that looked like pitch-ck darkness. Then he straightened the purple dagger in his hand and slowly moved on. Did you say it was the Holy Church...? Kane, who gave up his life and copsed, leaving only the name of the Holy Church. But that alone was enough for him. Whoops. The death of the beginning that bestowed transcendent power on himself. In the name of mission, it was clearly telling who was the target of bloody revenge. [Execution Target] -Hallelujah -Agatha -Baba Yetu -Holly Molly -Iam Saint . . . An executor who will ept the mission of death and execute the cycle of life and death on earth. Morse. It was the moment when he, who had taken countless lives as a shadow assassin, appeared again as a mad avenger in Arcadia. * * * Voltaire, a sacred kingdom located in the center of the North American continent. The undisputed No. 1 divine guild, Holy Cross, nesting here, was busy congratting himself for sessfullypleting this quest. Hahaha. Everyone had a hard time. Ah, guild leader. what kind of trouble is this Nothing big happened. More than that, congrattions. I heard you fell in love with Cardinal Carbel this time? Ohhhh! Is that true? In the Holy Kingdom, Cardinal Carbel is the second-inmand in name and reality, who is said to handle all important duties right under the Holy King. Everyone was surprised and delighted with the fact that he caught his eye because of the unique characteristics of divine-type jobs. - Contribution to the church is really fucking shit. - Level doesn''t matter. You can acquire skills only by doing all sorts of good deeds with faith, breaking the missions given by the church, and umting contribution points to be promoted. - Treating the homeless and distributing free meals to slums is the most efficient, even if it takes a little time. -Is that all? Even if you umte contributions in Amman, you have to make a social lifee because there is something to do or nabal. If you don''t get into politics, I''ll leave. -Mmmmm Is this your first time seeing religion and politics? It is a strangely realistic structure in which you can be stronger by leaps and bounds only when you are affiliated with the Holy Church, carry out various missions, umte contribution points that can only be umted by fulfilling the duties of a faithful cleric, and rise to prominence by being noticed by high-ranking NPCs in the Church. That''s why someone asked with a face full of expectations about the fact that he was in the eyes of the second highest dignitary. Then, arent our guilds also... the best priests born? A ce that no one has yet climbed. top-notch priest. But at his question, Hallelujah shook his head as if not yet. Not yet. Even if there is no problem with contribution or favorability, it seems that the level is limited. Cardinal Carbel licked his lips, saying that he still needed more training. However, Agatha asked with a surprised face at his story. Is the guild leader saying that the level is not enough? Hallelujah, a high-ranking priest of level 253. He was one of the highest level in Arcadia, and was strong enough to boast a unique level among the clergy ss. The position of the highest-ranking priest boasting a wall so far high. However, Hallelujah muttered with a confident face as if it was not long. But, well... I have a rough idea. It seemed that level 300 was the condition to be able to change to a top ss priest. I think we can achieve it by the end of this year. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-e great. At this rate, our guild will conquer all of North America sooner orter. The guild members looked at him with respect and praised him. Hallelujah, who had been drinking with a satisfied face while receiving their embarrassingpliments, turned his head at the sudden loud sound. What kind ofmotion is that outside? Is that so...? A ce where only the closest people are gathered and solved the hoepo together. That''s why at that time when all of them tilt their heads with puzzled faces. The tightly closed door burst open with a tremendous roar. Kwaaang. What! It''s a surprise attack! What kind of crazy bastard dares to say this ce...? Holy Cross, a guild well known in North America. They couldn''t even imagine that there was someone who would carry out such an attack on their home base hideout, not anywhere else. you....? A manpletely covered in ck from head to toe. Filled with darkness like an endless abyss, except for his bright red eyes and daggers emitting an ominous purple light, he didn''t say anything and just silently looked at the group including Hallelujah. Its you guys... What...? The unknown assant nodded and muttered as if he had finally found them after seeing them. But he began to name each one as if he knew them all too well. Hallelujah. Agatha. Holly Molly. Baba Yetu. I am Saint..... More than a dozen people started calling their names. However, many of them had set their character names so that they were not exposed, so I was shocked to see him calling their names correctly. What the hell are you guys? What is your purpose here? Morse...? Is this the first time you''ve seen him? Morse appeared proudly exposing his name. Even though he invaded a ce where only the most elite yers who had passed level 200 gathered together, he was so unconcerned. That time when everyone is looking at them with a young gaze in bewilderment. Morse spoke to them with a heartless look, without showing any emotion. Isnt that what you bastards from Treji Vige did? what....? Why are you there...? Morse, referring to the vige they had burnt down without a trace a few days ago. Hallelujah finally realized why he hade to them. what? You bastard... Were you clearing some important quest in that vige? Amon conflict that can sometimes arise from unknowingly killing an NPC. Since the person who gave the quest unexpectedly died and everything got twisted up, there were more fights and conflicts than expected, so Hallelujah snorted and made a stern expression as if it was ridiculous. No, you dare intrude into our guild like this for just that reason? Even alone? Whether it''s a formalint or an Inteint, exposing evil deeds. He wouldn''t blink an eye, but it was the first time he''de back on his own and say he would take revenge like this, so Hallelujah said coldly as if his pride was hurt. Take care of it, guys. The order he gave in a mocking voice, as if he had nothing to step forward. As if waiting for that moment, his subordinates charged at once. Aww! die! Holy Cross! Divine Spear! Holy Arrow! Pdins wielding savage hammers and maces filled with divine power, and priests who cast various types of divine magic. But at that moment. Hallelujah saw it smartly. The look in his eyes, as if he was smiling mockingly, as he stared at himself with bright red eyes without any defensive posture. Moving shadows. Quaang. What is it? Is it gone...? Morse disappeared in an instant without any sign. The pdin Babayetu looked around with a bewildered face holding the hammer that had just smashed the wooden floor. But he was startled by whispers behind him. Did you think I would be able to hit such a slow attack? This..... Chew. A cool sensation in the throat and a sharp cutting sound before even reacting. All sorts of messages began to be heard in his ears as he copsed, feeling weak like a doll whose string had fallen off. [A vital part was hit urately.] [A fatal blow. Intense damage was taken.] [Having been afflicted with abnormal status bleeding] [Having nerve severed abnormal status] [Poisoned with deadly poison abnormal status] . . . Damn it...was he an assassin?'' An attacker who seems to have higher-level skills than I thought. He felt sorry for himself who had been beaten so absurdly while being careless, but he licked his lips and thought to himself. Haa... damn it... Shouldn''t I have to work hard to recover this from the drop in experience?'' Along with the 24-hour death penalty, it is a painful situation that requires a long time to recover from the drop in skill proficiency and experience. So Babayetu ruminated in his heart with a burning desire for revenge against Morse, who had killed him. Let''s see. That ruined baby, I chase it and pay it back to a hundred times ..... As a pdin belonging to the Holy denomination, he can retaliate more than an imagination for a unteral PK. That''s why, when the 24-hour ess restriction is lifted, I''m determined to take revenge right away. A strange message he had never heard before came to his ears. [The mortal power consumes the yer''s soul.] [The death of the beginning consumes the protection of immortality.] [Babayetu is restored to the ring of cirction.] [Deathed.] [Character Babayetu'' has been deleted.] [Closing the connection.] What...? A dreamer capsule that opens and releasespressed air. The system waspletely stopped, but Baba Yetu returned to reality. What the hell are you talking about? The character was deleted! He hurriedly reconnected to the game while letting out a terrifying scream. And he could hear the message he had heard only once a long time ago, in a clear voice, as if the message he had heard was no joke. [Do you want to create a character?] The first child of the father who had a mission of death that existed from the beginning. death. His apostles with mortal powers began to execute the mission of the cycle of life and death. Swallowing the immortal power that protects adventurers. By giving them the true rest of death. Chapter 330 Chapter 330 Death''s Apostle (4) Another perfect world born from one person''s infinite imagination. Arcadia. Jack and Alice had to go through a lot of preliminary work in order to open this world to the public as a single piece of content called a game. [We need to give meaning to each and every trivial action people do and reward them ordingly. Whether it''s a quest or an additional stat increase...] [Let''s ssify Arcadia''s items ording to their rarity and usefulness. Wouldn''t it be enough... at least 8 levels?] [The distribution of levels and grades ording to the strength of the monsters is also essential. How to distribute them?] [Oh, and adventurers are travelers from another faraway dimension. No one should be able to recognize that this world is an illusion.] In order to take care of both gameness and reality, a certain amount ofpromise was made and numerous adjustments were made to present Arcadia to the public as the first virtual reality game of mankind. Two people who were busy preparing for it. And Jack, the creator and father of this world, added one of the most important settings for adventurers. [Adventurers are immortal beings who can never be killed, only returning to their original dimension when they die. It takes a certain amount of time... but you cane back anytime.] As with any game, even if you die, you cane back to life and continue your previous journey. The protection of immortality, an added measure for the convenience and game yability of users. This protection, granted by the authority of the creator and top developer, was so powerful and absolute that even the strongest dragons of the continent of Arcadia or beings with full divinity and divinity could not prate it. But..... Aww. This ruthless assassin, wielding an ominous purple dagger and brutally shing another priest''s vitals, was different. You bastard... what the hell...? Hallelujah, the guild master of the Holy Cross, looked at him with confused eyes and stepped back. The other guild members were not aware of the current situation, but as the head of the guild, he could clearly realize that this current battle was notmon. [Senior guild member Baba Yetu has withdrawn from the guild.] Baba Yettu was the first to die. A message that floated before his eyes at the same time as he turned gray. And the more the battle continued, the more people slowly died one by one, and as they fell to a gray light, Hallelujah''s eyes began to tremble violently. [Advanced guild member Holly Molly has withdrawn from the guild.] [Advanced guild member IM Saint has withdrawn from the guild.] . . . Each and every one of them was the guild''s most elite force, and the protagonists who had yed the role of key executives. Looking at the iprehensible messages that people who would never leave of their own will had left the guild and the list of friends who had disappeared neatly as if they never existed, he realized instinctively. [Sub-guild master Agatha has withdrawn from the guild.] Being killed by the being in front of you right now... is somethingpletely different from a normal death. Are you alone now? As if this is all, the assassin asks in a rxed manner. Everything is covered with a ck cloth. However, Hallelujah could be felt vividly in the bright red eyes that could only be seen through the ck cloth. The vengeance and hatred burning fiercely. Uuuuuuuuuuuu..... Hallelujah, shrunken to the point of moaning in fear, forgetting that it was a virtual game. Morse muttered in a very contemptuous tone as he slowly backed away with a terrified face. It''s really pitiful..... To bugs like you, those innocent and kind people died in pain without any guilt. Even though he was an ignorant viger, he felt warm affection from them. But Hallelujah, who was listening to it, said with apletely iprehensible face. They were just insignificant NPCs! Why the hell are you even doing this! In Arcadia, users who do not die are no different from immortal beings. That''s why most of the users were often immersed in the thought of disrespecting human life. - You say the monster is too strong? Even if you die, go to your body and block it! -Raid is something to try and see. Even if you fail, what... isn''t it all about dying? - It''s a game anyway. I''ll do anything as long as it''s rewarded generously. To them, the world is just an amusement and entertainment. So even though it was a very small vige with a poption of less than 100 people, there was no sense of guilt or guilt on the face of Hallelujah, who brutally ughtered all the residents and burned them all. chagrin. Looking at Morse with a resentful look in his eyes, Morse gave up on exining and said calmly. To you, it may be just an insignificant chunk of data, but to me, it was a family that was more important than anything else. what....? Morse, who refers to NPCs as family. Hallelujah, who froze for a moment at thepletely unexpected answer and stared nkly at him,ughed madly and shouted out in spite with mocking eyes. Hehehehehe...hehehehehehe! The NPC...the NPC was your family? Hallelujah, feeling in his heart that there was no way he could return without leaving himself alive anyway. That''s why he said, looking at Morse with a face full of venom, as if he would say whatever he wanted to say before he died. How pitiful and miserable is life in real life, why are you ying family games with NPCs in this game? Have you ever lived as an orphan with no parents or siblings in real life? Hallelujah mocking Morse''s chest by pouring vicious words that pierce and crush Morse''s chest. However, Morse did not react at all to the man who cursed at him, calling himself a loser in life. If your life is better and more beautiful than mine, then try to live in reality from now on. what....? Because I will help you. Poo-wook. A purple de that pierced Hallelujah''s body precisely through his heart. And Morse, who soon realized that his graying existence had met aplete death in Arcadia, exhaled deeply and muttered in a low voice: Uncle Kane.... And dont be too unfair to the vigers and get some rest. The world is nothing but data made up of 0s and 1s. It was not known whether there was an afterlife here, but Morse briefly closed his eyes in honor of all the victims who died unjustly for no reason. And he said And... please watch over us in the future. My revenge begins now. p. Holding the purple dagger in reverse, he murmured to himself as if resolving something, his bright red eyes shining. I will never stop until the Holy Order ispletely removed from this world. Morse feels a thirst for blood as if revenge for the loss of his precious family is far from enough. In doing so, he hid himself in the shadows, burning his enmity towards the entire Holy Cult that had created all this tragedy. In this way, another tremendous variable was born in Arcadia. Named the power of annihtion... An adventurer with the ability to truly kill adventurers, the one who destroys the bnce. * * * The moment when the seeds of a huge storm are sprouting and germinating far away on the North American continent. Tan was almost obsessive, clinging to Jaeyoung and whispering in her ear. That''s why, if the owner is willing to donate even a little bit of his outstanding talent for the Demon World, I''m asking him to spare some time and give me a special lecture. huh? Do you know how much the little devils under me respect their masters these days? It''s not that difficult to teach the budding demons what real sales are. uh? If youe to the demon world, I can treat you gorgeously with a full course, the real owner. It hasn''t been like that for a while recently, and after blowing up the imperial castle of the Shoen Empire, Satan, the lord of the Pandemonium, has been whining abouting to the Pandemonium again to give a lecture. However, when Jaeyoung heard the offer to give a lecture on what true evil is for Satan''s demons, he tly refused his words with an expression of confusion as to whether he should like this or feel bad about it. no. I don''t like it. Why do you keep saying you don''t like it? No, thats why I hate it! It''s because the owner doesn''t know, do you know how honorable this position is? Under me, they just lined up in front of me because they wanted to give that special lecture. Demon King Satan, the lord of corruption and the ruler of the demon realm. It is a glorious ce that is no different from a stage where you can put a face stamp on his eyes, proudly imprint your viciousness in front of countless demons, and in a way boast about yourself. If you do well, you can attract a huge number of supporters and instantly jump to a core rank such as a corpsmander, so among the demons with a strict hierarchy, it was a position that made them anxious to see it somehow. Anyway, I hate it. Stop giving up because you dont like it. That''s why Tan can''t understand Jae-young who refuses with a single knife like that. But he asked with his eyes shining as if he noticed something. Couldnt Master... you still dont think youre evil? Tan asked with a questioning expression. He hadn''t been conscious of it until now, but now he was able to realize it. The strange actions of Jae-young, who always smiled without blinking an eye andmitted vicious evil beyond his imagination, and whenever he raised his thumb and praised him, Jae-young with a sullen face, saying nothing, and sending a strangely dissatisfied look. . ..... Jae-young keeps her mouth shut and doesnt respond to his words. Then, as if it was really absurd, Tan pointed to El who was floating in the air with a serious expression on his face in the distance and said. Ha..... Master, let''s be honest and admit what we have to admit. It''s true no matter how hard you try to deny that the owner is the most vicious person in the world. Even that chicken cub admitted it. If you line up people who died or were fucked because of their owners, you could probably cross the entire continent of Arcadia? From his beginner days until now, he has had an enormous aftermath on the entire continent. Considering only the achievements (?) of ruining at least three empires with a splendid history of a thousand years, Tan''s words were by no means absurd bluffs. ah! a little! It''s noisy, so stop talking! Jaeyoung finally reacts with an annoyed face as if he doesn''t want to hear it. That time when he and Tan are arguing over and over again. El floated nkly in the air with a pale face as if he had seen a ghost. What the hell is this...'' Ugh. A pioneering idea of causality, the authority bestowed upon her by the Creator. Being able to read all the causal and narrative flows affecting Arcadia, she could intensely feel the huge causal flow that suddenly began to move. Cuckoo coo coo. A gigantic flow that winds around and oscites the entire continent of Arcadia. I was taken aback by the fact that a cause and effect that was as great as when the Great War of the Holy Spirit took ce in the past began to move without any notice or foreshadowing, but soon I was shocked to find out where the stage of the huge narrative was. What''s going on?'' The stronghold of the heavens and the basis for them to exert great influence in Arcadia. Holy Empire Saint. A huge storm was blowing around it. Chapter 331 Chapter 331 Kill the Pope (1) A pioneering n for causality. Archangel Michael, who has the powerful power to read the currents of this world and foresee the future, albeit fragmentary. The fact that a huge narrative flow, which she had never experienced before, began to move. And they were astonished at the fact that their stronghold, the Saint Empire, was at the center of it all. I can''t believe it... If it''s on this huge scale...'' A causal storm engulfs the entire continent of Arcadia. Feeling the flow that began to move faster and stronger than before, she swallowed her saliva with a nervous face without knowing it. The Great War of the Holy Demons... or maybe even more than that...?'' Arcadia''s huge catastrophe, the Great War of Holy Magic, which divided the entire continent in the past and was stained with blood. A huge narrative that overwhelms the story in the myth that put the world tree into eternal sleep and divided the huge continent into 8 parts. And the fact that the stage was the Saint Empireplicated her mind. I don''t know exactly what''s going on... but it''s too dangerous to leave it alone...'' The flow of fate moves so enormously that even if the heavens gather all the probabilities and intervene, there is no way to guarantee a settlement. That''s why, rather than making hasty moves, Michael decided his future direction as calmly as possible. Hey, Dex-sama...? huh? why? Jae-young responds with delight at L''s call, probably fed up with Tan''s persistent pleas for just one special lecture. She smiled brightly at him and asked. Could I stop by the Saint Empire for a moment? * * * Guild Holy Cross counted among the top five in North America. At the same time as the eternal rest of the guild master Hallelujah, who led this guild, messages flew simultaneously to everyone who belonged to this guild. [Guild Master Hallelujah has left the guild.] [There is no sub-guild master to seed the guild.] [Guild has been forcibly disbanded.] What is this? Guild dissolution? What happened all of a sudden? Sudden withdrawal messages from senior executives. And the ensuing forced dissolution of the guild. Thousands... tens of thousands of guild members couldn''t hide their embarrassment at the measures they couldn''t understand. yes....? what does that mean? The character waspletely deleted? [Really! I''ll send you a video of thest y, so check it out. It wasn''t just me, everyone at that time suffered the same way.] This is a video that Hana, a guild member who was in personal contact with the guild master Hallelujah, received via e-mail. And in the video, they were able to identify a person who was assassinating key officers of the Holy Cross Guild one by one, wielding a very ominous purple dagger. Morse...? It''s the first name I''ve ever seen...? While checking the video, he confirmed the identity of the culprit who attacked the Holy Cross Guild. His bright red eyes proudly revealing his nickname no matter what kind of guts he had, were mixed with bitter hatred and resentment that he did not dare toprehend. What the heck is this... Even though it was a video, the impression was so strong that it instantly shocked me. However, since it was an existence where no information was revealed and it was a phenomenon that waspletely iprehensible, he pondered for a while and soon turned on the Inte and uploaded the video somewhere. - The character was suddenly deleted. With a title that draws intense aggro that makes the viewer unable to endure clicking at all. * * * Arcadia Co., Ltd. operates services around the world. In thispany, which operates a one-of-a-kind virtual reality game that boasts a perfect level of perfection, the department that pays the most attention and provides generous support is none other than the customer satisfaction service department. [yes. I called because I have something to ask..... Why do you run the operation so often?] [Hey, how do I get a hidden ss? No, why can''t I tell you that?] [I blew an item by mistake, please restore it. yes? You say you can''t? Why?] Customers who go beyond the usual level of civilints and make all sorts of ridiculous demands and engage in riots close to power. As a globalpany, Arcadia''s counseling center, where extraordinary truths beyond imagination gather together, was always full of employeesining of extreme mental fatigue. -Is this notice, aren''t you not a customer? -Ha..... It''s a real sry, and it''s nabal, and I think I''m going to get mentally ill and die. -Can''t the crazy truth bastards really step out of thepany and take legal action? Even in normal times, all sorts of crazy people are making phone calls and harassing him to the point of viciousness, so the work intensity is excessive. However, sometimes when a major incident urred in Arcadia, thebor intensity was enormous beyond imagination. [Cannon shooter? How can I do that?] [Are you kidding me? Who got the game bnce? Why does the nucleuse out?] [Are you insane?] [Why do you do it this way? I want to talk to the manager, so please change it right away.] [How do I get a refund? I don''t want to y shit like this anymore.] All kinds of protest and inquiry questions are pouring in, and the phone rings like crazy without even a second to catch your breath. On top of that, even though he picked up the receiver with both hands and gave up his full energy while talking, the queue was spewing up to a thousand units, and even those who were proud of their steel mentality were to the point of giving up their resignation and running away. That''s why Arcadia Co., Ltd. sprinkles all sorts of perks, including extravagant incentives and bonuses for promotion, to this department, also known as the Customer Satisfaction Service Department, or CS (Customer Service). However, despite such efforts, there was always a shortage of manpower here. Did you say your name was Peter? You volunteered for our department? A middle-aged white man looking at a Latino young man sitting in a suit with a nervous look on his face as he nces at papers. To his question, Peter answered in a disciplined voice. ah. your manager! That''s right. Hmm..... Originally, I was working in the Dreamer capsule business team..... After working for about 3 years, I would have adapted to my job, so why did you apply for a transfer to our department? Arcadia Co., Ltd. Customer satisfaction service department is notorious for being the worst department in North America. Peter, who voluntarily walked into this hell, was so fresh to him because even the original employees had to drag the employees from other departments to take care of the work like hunting because even the original employees ran away immediately after meeting the deadline. That... that... Peter looked at him, hesitant to answer his question. Looking at him like that, the manager said. I dont care at all, so answer honestly. When the manager told him to nod his head and answerfortably, saying that everything was okay, Peter hesitated for a moment and then spoke as if he was a little embarrassed. I applied because I was told that if I volunteer for this department andplete the three-year deadline, I can go to the department I want. like....? There seems to be a department you want to go to, right? Where is it? This is the Strategic nning Office. The manager nodded approvingly when Peter said he wanted to join this department, known as the core department that oversees everything in North America and an elite course for those looking to advance to the executive level. He was an ambitious guy with big dreams. Yeah... that''s enough to volunteer for our department. I hope you can survive here well. I will do my best. The manager shook hands, saying that the story was over, and shook his hand to send him away. Stepping out of the office, Peter saw the scene unfolding before his eyes, and soon deep in his heart he made up his mind. For the next three years.....'' Peter, who has always worked as a part of thispany like a worker ant. But his ambition did not fade so easily. Two years in the strategic nning office. And 5 years after being promoted to general manager... and after being promoted to an executive, if you look for opportunities well... you''ll even be able to be a branch manager, right?'' He is also aiming for the position of branch manager in charge of the North American continent. Realizing that he had to move first in order to achieve that dream, he immersed himself in the customer satisfaction service department, which was evaluated as the hell of royalties that no one was pleased with. Without even imagining the future that will blow in front of you. Huh... Peter took a short breath and calmed himself down. And after looking at the basic response manual attached to his booth, he activated task assignment on the intr. Weiying. As soon as the counseling service starts, a loud signal sounds. He epted the call right away and spoke in a more friendly voice than ever. I love you, customer. How can I help you? An exemry response full of kindness, soft and soft enough to make you feel better just by listening to it. However, despite his sincere first response, the other person''s voice was sharp. [Hey, my character was suddenly deleted? Why is this like this? Is it a bug?] Yes? The character was deleted? Unfamiliar questions that you can''t find among the hundreds of thousands of expected inquiries you''ve carefully selected. Therefore, Peter was momentarily taken aback, but quickly tapped the keyboard while listening to the exnation of the situation, and searched for information on the rted content on the intr. yes. The character''s name is... Hallelujah? ah. yes. I know. Of the Holy Cross Guild... Peter tried to look up character information, surprised once more by the fact that he had received a call from a more famous mogul than expected. However, he was silenced by the red warning light on the monitor. [Restricted ess. Insufficient authority.] Information that you cannot verify on your own. So he couldn''t give a proper answer, so he momentarily sweated and then carefully handed the phone over to the upper management. I will connect you to my manager. Inquiries that are unavoidable based on one''s position. That''s why I''m smacking my lips as if it''s not easy after handing over the first phone call to the manager as if I was very angry. Another phone call came in. Haa..... I really don''t have time to rest..... The phone started ringing less than 5 seconds after the first call was passed. Thinking that this infamousbor robbery was no joke, Peter answered the phone again and tilted his head at the familiar inquiry. [hey. My character has been deleted. Why is this like this?] Again, a strange inquiry came in that the character had been deleted. Sensing something strange, Peter nced up high with a strange expression and looked at the manager receiving the phone call he had handed over. A manager holding a mouse with one hand and looking at the monitor while answering the phone with a serious face. And soon he seemed to be frightened with a white face, and then he pressed therge red switch on his desk with one hand. Wei Ying. Wei Ying. A loud emergency sound. And on the huge screen installed in front of the CS center, there was a phrase written inrge red letters that everyone could see. [Code RED. Emergency counseling system activated.] Peter, who had volunteered for the Customer Satisfaction Service Department with huge ambitions, was able to realize it from the first day of work. malice and anger. And how vicious, cruel, and heartless devil-like beings are angry consumers who are united by the feelings of hatred and resentment. Why is this ce called the hell of royalties? Chapter 332 Chapter 332 Kill the Pope (2) Saint Empire? Why are you suddenly there? L suddenly proposes to visit Saint Empire. At her question, Tan looked at L with a very wary look and asked. You can''t.... I''m going to take the owner to the demon world, so you''re going to y first, right? To Tan''s question, who was wary as if he was a prankster stealing customers from other people''s establishments, L looked at him with contempt and answered. You dont know what to do, but shut up your mouth, you fucking bat bastard. Because that doesn''t matter now. What doesnt matter! How important it is to educate dream tree demons who are like young buds! Education is a hundred year old system (֮Ӌ). Jae-young asked, ignoring Tan, who muttered and exined how important it was to take himself, the most exemry human being, to the Demon Realm to young dreamers who were thinking about how to viciously corrupt humans with their bright eyes. What on earth are you doing this for? Um... I dont know exactly, but something significant is going to happen there. okay....? yes. As always, L foresaw another future. However, unlike before, she said with a strangely anxious expression. I don''t know exactly what''s going on, but... I''m sure there will be a huge event that can''t even bepared to now. okay....? Is it that serious? yes. This huge causal flow... It''s the first time since the Holy Demon War. Even with the resurrection of the World Tree and the unification of the continents and the invention of the magic turret with insane firepower, it wasn''t to this extent, so El said with a more serious face than ever. Hmm... is that...? Jaeyoung was strangely interested in those words. Unlike before, he felt freshness in Ls slightly frightened expression, and his eyes lit up as if he was having fun. okay. Then let''s do it. really? Jae-young readily epts his request to go to Saint Empire. At his cool reaction, L looked at him with an unexpected look and asked, but Jaeyoung answered with a smile as if it was natural. Well, to be honest, its true that its annoying because its a street, but if you, the famous archangel, say it with such an uneasy face, you should go. To be honest, I think it might be fun... Jaeyoung says it''s not that difficult. Then he suddenly scratched his nose with an embarrassed expression and said, And... are you my guardian angel? You should listen to this request. Dex-sama... L was moved by his words. However, Jaeyoung told her with a very evil smile. Oh, but I don''t know what I''m going to do when I go there? ..... Ls face hardened at Jaeyoungsck of confidence in replying that he didnt know what to do either. Couldn''t it be... isn''t it...?'' Suddenly, all the achievements (?) of Jaeyoung in Arcadia pass by. The feats he has aplished were so enormous that each one could not be ignored. - Emperor yer. - Empire Destroyer. - Mad yer. - Distorted pacifist. - Dragon yer. He roamed all over the continent, devouring many kingdoms and empires, and even sent Arcadia''s transcendental dragon to theher road. confusion. Destruction. fall. It is no wonder that even with all kinds of negative adjectives, El, who led him to the Saint Empire, who was like an incarnation of destruction, shook his head left and right, feeling the tremendous anxiety that suddenly surged in his chest. No big deal..... If the situation is really serious, I''ll have to intervene somehow...'' Dex is like a ticking time bomb that doesn''t know where to go. Thinking that he could somehow control him, El looked up at the huge storm raging anxiously high in the sky. A majestic and heartless storm of fate sweeping across the continent centered on the Holy Empire Saint. * * * An ability based on true belief in God. divine power. Basically, this power was so strong that it strongly energized all living beings and couldpletely heal even serious injuries that reached the point of death. I had another setup with . God, bring the wrath of God on this evil and cruel being here! Quaaaaaaagh! A divine power that has the property of destruction and has established itself as a deadly and contradictory power to the beings of the evil demon realm. Since they have an absolute superiority in magi with evil characteristics, the priests and pdins of the Saint Empire were always confident in seeing the remnants of evil that could not withstand their intense divine power and copsed. good always wins But..... The Pdins of the 39th State of the Saint Empire, who have always walked the streets proudly and proudly and united with the pride of representing God''s will on thisnd, look on their faces in disbelief when they see a being standing in front of them. muttered with I cant believe it... The divine power... doesnt work...? Pdins who specialize in defense, healing, and recovery. If the whole body armor and solid shield are covered with holy power, the power of any attack is drastically reduced, so they boasted fraudulent defensive power to the point that they could not deliver a proper blow in a dizzying time, but they were shocked by the attack of this mysterious assassin that appeared in front of them. I had no choice but to You can''t die...! Absolute healing! heel! heel! heel! Damn it. Why doesn''t the healing work! Great Hill! He stabbed the dagger precisely into the gap between the armor and neatly cut the carotid artery. As a result, fellow pdins gathered their holy power and poured healing magic to save their colleagues who were struggling with pouring blood, but strangely, they did not know that the small wound would ever recover. Rukruk ..... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, the pdin died while making a strange sound. Morse looked at him nkly, then spoke in a dry voice. No matter how much divine power I poured out, it would be in vain. what....? The mortal powerpletely devours your insignificant divine power. What the hell is that...? Woo woo woo. Morse radiated purple aura all over his body. At that time, when everyone was gulping their saliva with nervous faces at the sight of his dagger shining with such an ominous light. A pdin heard a whisper in his ear. In other words, you guys are all my food. Chew. Cool sensation in the throat. And the warm blood that pours violently. That fleeting moment when you copse while feeling all those sensations with your whole body. An unknown pdin only then realized. Death, which still felt far away. The fact that I was watching myself right away. * * * A city located on the outskirts of the Saint Empire. Morse, who had annihted the Holy Order that governed the city, looked back at the gray corpses strewn across the building with heartless eyes. The scene of a brutal death where no trace of life can be found. This ce, which has always been a solemn and sacred space, has turned into a grotesque massacre filled with red blood. That''s why the users who were watching all this in real time on the channel Morse opened were really upset. -Wow, wiping out all the Holy Church like this? -It looks like a suburban city, but it''s still amazing. How are you going to get back...? -Aren''t you prepared to quit the game now that you''ve touched the Saint Empire? -No, but is it true that if you die, your character will be deleted? -Hey, you bastard. where do you live? Do you know if you can do this? -I put in an inquiry to the customer center. I don''t know how you did it, but be prepared to stop you forever. - Mortal authority...? What is it? Morse became a hot topic shortly after the unprecedented incident in which the Holy Cross Guild flew away in an instant. That''s why he was able to achieve achievements that he had never achieved before in the shortest period of time faster than anyone else in the midst of the enormous interest of users. [Realtime Viewers: 32412155] A staggering record that a person who started streaming broadcasting would never achieve. In the past, he would have been excited about this tremendous achievement, but now he did not feel much excitement about these things. Rather, he was only proud of the Holy Cross gang who were pouring curses at his chat window. [The Death of the Beginning rejoices at your actions.] [The power of mortal consumes the divinity.] [The stats increase significantly.] [The Death of the Beginning selects the next execution target.] [The assigned mission Please confirm.] Death of the beginning, who offered to help avenge himself. And Morse, who gave the rest of death to those he presented without leaving a single one. In the meantime, he was faithfully fulfilling the mission left by the death of the beginning without even realizing it. - So, what the hell is your purpose? -that''s right. What is the reason for killing the children of the Holy Church like this? -No, the content is fresh... but it seems like it will fly away soon because it''spletely unstoppable..... The Saint Empire, which is synonymous with strength on this continent. When they made up their minds, everyone looked at Morse with a lot of concern as he was carrying out an enormous ughter in the stronghold of the Saint Empire, which was widely known to have a military power that no other nation dared to deal with. And Morse opened his mouth for the first time in response to such people. Why am I here? -what? Were you looking at the chat window? - He didn''t talk at all, so I thought he just closed the chat window and yed games lol - Finally, he paid attention. I almost went crazy because I was curious. Please answer my questions quickly. When Morse answered for the first time, the viewers chatted like crazy and asked all sorts of questions. Seeing the chats being pushed back so fast that he couldn''t even read them, he soon gave up reading, closed the chat window, and talked briefly. The reason I attacked the Holy Cross Guild a week ago was because of the evil theymitted. Trezi is a very small rural vige located somewhere near the Erda Mountains in North America. While talking about the tragedy that suddenly happened one day here, Morse muttered with a very sad look. There I lost my family. Even though it''s virtual, it''s so real. Since the chat window was closed, the reaction of the people listening to his story was unknown, but Morse could be sure of the expressions of those who heard who his target was. so.... I have vowed to hold everyone responsible for the tragedy in Trezi vige at all costs. A mortal power that eats up divine power and grows that power. Raising the ever-increasing divinity of death in the beginning, Morse dered his final target in front of everyone. I will never stop until I have taken the head of St. Pope Amen of the Empire. That''s how the wheel of fate that Michael watched fearfully began to move. in the not too distant future. It''s called Kill the Pope and will forever be stuffed into Arcadia''s list of incidents and idents. That huge event. Chapter 333 Chapter 333 Kill the Pope (3) At some point, the North American branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is issued a red alert, starting with an inquiry about a character deletion error. However, they did not even have time to properly grasp the relevant facts. [I don''t know how the hell this damn operator manages customer information! My character has been deleted! It''s the ninth-ranked character with millions of dors!] Arcadia ranked 9th in the North American continent, Hallelujah. The master of the Holy Cross Guild and at the same time a fairly influential real estate deputy in real life, he stepped out in front of the camera and began to expose the incident with a high-spirited face. [I don''t know what the hell the user named Morse did that killed me and my colleagues, but he must have broken through Arcadia''s system security somehow. We have requested an immediate confirmation from the gamepany, and if a problem is found, we will use all possible means to obtain fullpensation! ] is the one who shows solid determination. However, as if Morse wasughing at Hallelujah, he even turned on the real-time broadcast and dered it. [I will never stop until I rip off the head of St. Empire''s Pope Amen.] Morse dered that he would kill the Saint Empire''s Pope Amen. However, the reaction of viewers was cold. -amen? That Amen I know, right? -Isn''t it estimated level 500? It is a real alien state. -Infiltrate the capital of the Saint Empire... and Eden, the heart of the most important thing? Doesn''t that make sense from the start? -Aren''t there at least 7 holy knights called apostles? - If you add bishop-level priests, there are only 14 special NPCs. - Wow..... How did you get through that and assassinate him? Does that make sense? There were numerous NPCs in Arcadia. A beggar, a merchant, a thief, a bully, a farmer, a student, a mercenary, an assassin... These beings, the true inhabitants of Arcadia, live by being assigned a role that suits their purpose. However, among them, there were special NPCs who were given very special and special roles. From monarchs who support and rule a country to rulers who lead one species of countless creatures living in Arcadia, including archmages and knights slimes who have reached impossible levels that no one dares to achieve. Beings that boast a powerful influence that cannot be easily ignored. However, among them, the stature of Pope Amen of the Saint Empire was particrly remarkable. [Amen, the representative of the high heavens] As the first representative of the heavens, an existence with enormous divine power. His pure fighting power was so powerful that even a fairly strong man could not dare to be strong, but what was more terrifying was the influence he possessed. - Any empire or kingdom is not for Saint Empire. -If you are emunicated, you will lose all legitimacy at that moment, so who dares to hate you? -Isn''t that why a fucking catastrophe like a witch hunt was created? The Holy Decree of the Pope, which is like an absolute order that no monarch of any mighty power could dare to disobey as long as he was sane. If you ask who the absolute monarch with the most power in Arcadia is, it''s Amen, the Pope of the Saint Empire. That''s why Morse''s deration to kill him was virtually impossible in the eyes of other users. So... that user named Morse has be an apostle of an ancient deity like shit? [that''s right. As you will know if you look it up on the Inte.... Somehow, the user happened to ept the divinity of the existence of death in the beginning.] President Lee Mi-yeon briefly tells Jae-young about Morse. Jaeyoung''s expression, which had been silently listening to her story, gradually turned to bewilderment. No, then if you die from that user, your real character will be deleted? I''m not joking, really...? Forced deletion of a character that is already spreading and burning hot on the Inte. Jae-young opened her mouth when CEO Lee Mi-yeon admitted that the shocking experiences of pdins and priests who unknowingly attacked him and whose characters were instantly blown away were spreading like conspiracy theories on the Inte, and that it was all true. [This may sound absurd, but it''s true. It''s a fact I learned recently... but the setting of the divinity called death is mortal. They say that even if you are a user, you will really die if you are killed by someone who has the full power.] - If you die in the game, you really die. Developers who took a setting that seemed toe out of a horror movie or animation and put in a crazy setting that could delete a character if it really died. Hearing the story, Jaeyoung said in a tired voice. Its rude to say this, but... Where did the people who are called top developers really drink drugs? What the hell kind of mind put such a shitty setting into a game? As for the victim, it is a situation like a thunderp that blows away the character that was cherished and nurtured in an instant. He thought that the job he was ying as a wanderer in the turbulent world was not enough, but the current situation was worse than he thought. [That''s right..... I really want to ask. Why did you include this...] CEO Lee Mi-yeon sighs and blurts out, saying she doesn''t know. After a moment of awkward silence, Jaeyoung changed the subject around. No, but why the hell is that friend having the Great Awakening like this and going out to kill the Pope of the Saint Empire? A video containing Morse''s deration that he will be held ountable for the brutal massacre of the innocent residents of Trezi Vige. Jae-young, who watched it over and over again, couldn''t understand the resentment and poison in his eyes. Are you really making a mess like this just with the dead NPCs? No matter how much time he spends and enjoys ying Arcadia, Jae-young is a true adult who can distinguish between the real world and the virtual world. So Jae-young muttered strangely as if she was getting goosebumps when she saw him who seemed frighteningly over-immersed. [Ah... well, there''s a good reason for that...] Lucas, a 24-year-old American who entered the world of Arcadia under the name of Morse. Jaeyoung, who heard very briefly the unfortunate and unfortunate story he went through, kept his mouth shut with a strangely solemn face. And after thinking for a while, I came to a conclusion. Hmm... those Holy Crosses were really bad bastards. [It may have been unknowingly, but it would have been absolutely unforgivable from the user''s point of view, Morse.] A young man who escaped to virtual reality in a harsh tragedy to the point of giving up on reality and found a littlefort and rest. She med the Holy Cross Guild for causing him to experience the pain of despair and loss that he could not handle again. [But... now we have to stop this madness. He is not aware of it, but what that user is doing now is extremely dangerous. If we continue to kill others and satisfy the final condition of resurrecting the death of the beginning...] Even at this moment, he does not stop and assassinates the priests and holy knights of the Holy Empire at random, and deletes the characters of the users. Morse doing it. President Lee Mi-yeon whispered in a very ominous voice that he had to stop him. [This Arcadia will eventually walk the path of destruction.] What does that mean...? Arcadia perishing? [As for how that happened...] President Lee Mi-yeon suddenly tells an extreme story that Arcadia will perish. At her words, Jae-young frowned and asked in a puzzled voice, but Jae-young nodded involuntarily at President Lee Mi-yeon''s exnation. Anyway, I think this game is like X. * * * Divinity born as the first child of the Creator. death in the beginning. He was born to carry out the mission of the cycle of life and death in this world, and he possessed powerful authority and divinity to match. [Death is fair and absolute to anyone. No one can avoid death.] He fulfilled his mission by giving death to all beings in Arcadia. His daily life of maintaining the order of the world in ordance with his father''s will was disrupted by an existence that suddenly appeared one day. [What kind of game are you nning to make into a hardcore shit mangem? Even if you die , you have to be able toe back to life. If the moment you die ispletely over, who will pay for a game like this? He showed so tant hostility that he was the first to strangle himself, the primordial death. [There is no need for eternal death in this world. Let''s get rid of this ridiculous setting first.] Kuuuuuuuu. As the first child of his father, Death burned with pride as a being with the most powerful divinity. He vehemently resisted the unknown ck mist that was strangling his throat, but his power was strangely strong. [This nonsense...!] Absolute and overwhelming power to the point of shock. Feeling that his divinity and existence were disappearing in front of the powerful setting power that he could not help himself with, the death of the beginningmented at the Creator who was just looking at all these tragedies. [Ah... Father! Why... Why...!] The brothers, with the same fate as himself, are trapped in the ck mist and lose all divinity and disappear into the void. Death, who vomited grievous resentment among them, could hear thest voice of his father, who was looking so sad. [I''m really sorry...] The first death that was expelled from Arcadia by Asura, the owner of the ck Mist. After that, he had been sleeping in a small cave for an immeasurable number of eons, and now he was staring at the seal that was squeezing his divinity. Whoops. Two bony legs. However, as if there was no sign of it, the chains were tying those weak and small legs together. And a mighty seal hanging from a stake connected to a chain and driven deep into the ground. Originally, it was a seal that restricted all power to the extent that it could not exert any power, but now Death could clearly feel the change. Its be loose... The chains that had been tightening both legs were tied up, making it impossible to move. However, the power that the apostle now endowed with his divinity was ravenously devouring was bringing subtle but subtle changes to the seal that had been holding him down. The power of immortality and the power of the heavens that hang over the adventurers, as well as the divine power that specializes in recovery and life. Death, who fulfilled his mission, gave the world true peace of death, and fully absorbed the power of the victims. The moment he breaks through a certain critical point while recovering his existence like that. Iron gruck. The ck child, who could not even stand up, was able to stand upright on his two legs. ..... Death couldnt even get up and move his body for an eternity. After examining himself for a long time with an expression of disbelief, he suddenly smiled. A heartless, contradictoryugh that is so pure and innocent, yet so cold at the same time. and that moment. he said. Woo woo woo. The death of the beginning and the first son of the fathermands. An absolute order that only beings with divinity can give. Prophecy. Unleashing the power to intervene by twisting thews of Arcadia, he gave another gift to the Apostle who was fulfilling his mission. Even if they die, there is no one who does not die in this world... Being that does not die even if they die, referring to adventurers who did not originally exist in this world. He said with a very happy face. Everyone in the realm on which my apostle stands cannot escape his death. Chapter 334 Chapter 334 Kill the Pope (4) Holy Empire Saint. An empire that has firmly maintained its position without shaking or copsing even once among the numerous empires and kingdoms that have been born and disappeared in the long history. There were many reasons why they were able to maintain their mighty hegemony in the entire continent of Arcadia, but among them, the difference in capabilities of each individual Empire was the biggest reason. [heel! Hehehe! Doesn''t it hurt anymore?] [Ugh..... Why do I see so many goblins these days...? Holy Arrow.] From a child who has just been weaned, to an old man who is struggling to move around. Holy power, a power that can be freely used by all who were born and live in the Saint Empire. As if the fact that they were blessed by God is not a joke, regardless of age, gender, or upation, everyone has reached a level where they can use the minimum level of divine magic, so the power potential of the Holy Empire is iparable to any other country. It was mighty. But... that fact, at this moment, began to act as a deadly poison that threatened the safety of the empire. This cant be... An old man groaned in disbelief. Even from the outside, he was dressed in an old-fashioned priestly uniform that made it clear that this was not a normal position, and he subconsciously exuded an unapproachable dignity, but he had a face full of fear that did not match his appearance. The army of the lofty heavens... how... how... he muttered in a trembling voice in disbelief, unable to speak. While I was groaning and standing in a daze on the terrace of a luxurious cathedral overlooking the whole city, a pdin wearing pure white armor ran and shouted urgently. Gideon! You must evade it now! Saint Gideon, the highest priest of the Empire and holding the title of Cardinal (Bishop). He shouted in anger at the words of an unknown pdin who was urgently shouting at him that he had to run away immediately as the chief executive who ruled Fatima, one of the eight major cities of the Saint Empire. What are you talking about! If we... No, if I run away from here, what should I do with the brothers who are fighting fiercely down there! Fatima is a huge city with millions of people. As one of the key parishes of the Holy Empire, it was a major military hub with a special purpose. Among those with mighty divine power, only those with excellent physical abilities and qualities are carefully selected, and the divine corps realizes God''s will on this earth and condemns all unclean groups of evil. Crusader. Fatima, which yed a role in nurturing and nurturing them, was famous for possessing the strongest military power in the Holy Empire, except for Eden. That''s why even in the long history of the saint empire, there was never a history of being captured by the enemy, so Gideon couldn''t hide his embarrassment at the situation he was experiencing for the first time and looked at the bizarre beings flying around the city with fear in his eyes. [Kee Ee Ee.] [Kya Ah Ah.] The beings who have a bizarre appearance that can be seen in hell. The appearance of those who weremitting massacres while coiling around the army of the high heavens with strange tentacles, with indescribably terrible appearances, was enough to arouse fear. An existence that eats up divine power... what the hell is this...? On the outside, they look like monsters from a fallen hell. Strangely, however, unlike ordinary monsters that take a huge hit with even a little exposure to divine power, they indulge in divine power as if they were ravenous, absorbing everything. Quaaaaaaa! help me! Oh God! please! Please... save us...! Priests and knights screaming out to God and dying in excruciating pain. Gideon watched endlessly as the sword and shield that firmly supported the Saint Empire fell helplessly to the unknown monsters. And not long after, he was able to face a being who seemed to be the culprit of all this. Are you the cardinal in charge of this city? A man wrapped in a ck cloth. Gideon was speechless at the question as he was looking at himself with a very ominous-looking purple energy scattered all over his body and his red eyes shining. It is reckless! A lowly adventurer, who dares to be rude to anyone...! Pdin shouts before he can answer. He looked terrified, but as a knight representing the Holy Empire, he resisted as much as he could. And the results of that resistance were disastrous. Go, my people. A man who pointed at him without replying and muttered softly. Then, the unidentified monsters that flew through the sky and devoured all the troops began to attack him like crazy. [Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !] pdin floating in the air, And after a while, he was thrown to the floor, and he was dyed gray and ended his life. What the hell... are these monsters...! Unidentified beings that devour divine power. Gideon, who had spent his entire life exploring countless secrets of ancient knowledge, was stunned by this strange phenomenon he had never heard of before, but the mysterious man dealing with these monsters gave a very dry reply. They are soul eaters. The Soul Eater...? Monsters with unfamiliar names you''ve never heard of. So Gideon frowned and muttered to himself with an expression of iprehension, but then he tried to calm himself down and asked another question again. So... what the hell do you want? A saint empire called the epitome of strength. Regardless of whoever attacked the Holy Empire, he had been consistent with thorough punishment without mercy, so what he did now was literally pulling out all the nose hairs of a sleeping lion. However, Morse answered that question very calmly. The fall of the empire of St. And the death of Pope Amen. He clearly deres what he wants. But at his answer, Gideon instantly put on a bewildered expression, and thenughed as if it was absurd. It is absurd. Foolish adventurer, did our Holy Empire... or the power of Eden look so insignificant? Heaven, which has been established for a long time, consolidating its enormous influence in Arcadia. The Saint Empire, which has a direct rtionship with the heavens and has been endowed with enormous divinity and power, has created a mighty force. That''s why Gideon shouted as if it were ast-ditch effort with a face full of firm faith and faith. Even if I die along with this city, the Holy Empire will not copse. The Pope! And the apostles who support our empire! I will defeat all of your insignificant retinue and punish you with a righteous god for your crimes! Whoops. After making a curse-like deration that your n will nevere true, Gideon raises all his divine power and prepares for battle. He solemnly shouted with a spleen face as if he was prepared for death. The sword that protects the lofty heavens! I offer my all right here, so please send me an emissary to defeat the evil and cruel being that threatens this continent! The mighty divine power possessed as a cardinal. Pouring out all his strength and throwing all his life force, he sacrificed everything to bring out an existence that was not allowed in this world. Roaring. The holy fire began to burn fiercely in the air. An existence that appeared in the form of a pure white me with enormous divine power. Her back, which had the appearance of a beautiful woman, had wings full of four white feathers spreading a powerful presence, revealing her identity. [This....? What the heck...] In exchange for the sacrifice of the highest priest, Gideon, Afidel, a high-ranking angel, descended to Arcadia in an intact state, albeit temporarily. As soon as she was summoned to Arcadia, she became wary of the overwhelming smell of death that emanated from her surroundings and the unknown beings that stimted her instinctive sense of danger. Ha ha ha ha ha. Seeing the angel summoned in front of him, Morse put on a dazed expression for a moment, then burst intoughter. And he startedughing madly, like it was really ironic. ha ha ha. Ahahahahahaha! It''s really stupid from start to finish. Gideon sacrificed his life to summon a celestial being to stop him. However, this situation was nothing short of creating the best situation for Morse, to the extent that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an industry reward. Hah... It''s a quota that even priests and knights can''t fill, but to think of bringing and offering the delicacies like this... It''s to the point of regret not being able to say thank you. Gideon lying on the floor, gray. Looking down at him like that, Morse muttered in a mocking tone, and he could hear the maddening screams of his followers. [Keee Ee!] [ Kiah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah! ] [Kya Ah Ah Ah Ah! As Morse began to use them freely, another gift given to him by the death of the beginning, Morse was strengthening his power iparably faster than when he assassinated each one. [You... what the hell are you...?] He looks at himself as if he were a delicious prey. However, in the intense sense of crisis felt instinctively, Afidel asked while lighting a lot of torches all over her body. Soul Eaters are slowly approaching, aiming for gaps while surrounded on all sides. Looking at the poor angel surrounded by them, Morse said with a big smile. Who am I...? Morse, who is trying to fulfill the mission of death in the beginning and realize his own desperate revenge on thisnd. He gestured to his people and said with a mad smile. I am... your death. * * * I can''t believe it... Archangel Michael, an Aspect of lofty glory and ruler of the heavens. She was horrified to learn the true nature of the great storm raging in Saint Empire. If it''s the death of the beginning... surely my father...?'' The one who was first expelled from this world of Arcadia. He was abandoned by his father because he had such a dangerous and powerful divinity and mission. Therefore, the fact that the death of the beginning began to struggle to resurrect on this earth and that he chose the heavenly forces as the nourishment for the restoration of divinity, Michael''s expression could not help but be serious. Dex-sama, in the Saint Empire right now... Michael opened his mouth thinking that he had to convey this as quickly as possible. However, Jaeyoung nodded as if he knew everything. I know. You have to stop the Apostle of Death from rampaging? yes....? How...? The death of the beginning of an existence that even Tan, including himself, has never talked about. Strangely enough, he already knew everything. [If the death of the beginning is resurrected in this world, the setting of Arcadia itself will have to change ording to its unique mission.] Death, the god in charge of death. President Lee Mi-yeon strongly warned of the change when he was restored to all divinity andpletely resurrected in Arcadia like Vulcanus. [The blessing of immortality applied to all users willpletely disappear. A single death will lead to the deletion of the character.] President Lee Mi-yeon warns that even if this Arcadia dies just once, the character will bepletely deleted, turning it into a hardcore shit manggame boasting an extremely difficult level. That''s why Jaeyoung had no choice but to agree with her words that Arcadia would perish if this situation was not stopped. Anyway, I don''t know what the hell this fucking game was made for? unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. Seeing that this motto was mentioned and crazy settings were crammed in all over the ce and there was nothing to be said for the minimum line, and all responsibility was passed on to the users, Jaeyoung grumbled, but he was looking at himself nkly with a shocked face. He nced at Michael and said with a strangely apologetic expression. Ill apologize in advance, L. Yeah...? Suddenly, what''s that...? Jae-young apologizes out of nowhere. El responded with apletely iprehensible expression, and he muttered with a strangely evil smile as if he had thoughts. To stop this, I honestly dont think I can look into your circumstances. Chapter 335 Chapter 335 Kill the Pope (5) Morse proudly announced to the world''s users through a live broadcast that he would avenge the Holy Empire, the culprit who took away his precious family. Users who saw the deration at firstughed at it, saying it was ridiculous, but after witnessing the ridiculous power he had with their own eyes, their evaluationpletely changed. -I can''t believe it... -How...how did you get Fatima so easily...? Those who became priests or pdins and joined the holy church. They, who had the deepest understanding of the Holy Empire than anyone else, were horrified in disbelief as they single-handedly turned the great city into apletely dead city. -The high heavenly army waspletely annihted...? -The lowest-ranking soldier there is at least level 150, so crazy..... -What the hell is that soul eater or what? Are you a Dementor? - It looks really bizarre. Just looking at it makes my mouth water dry. - No, but what the hell are those things? No matter how many times you attack, you won''t die. soul eater. The so-called Soul Eaters watched in real time as they unterally devoured the most powerful army of the Holy Empire, and the users shouted in unison. -Including divine power... Ignoring physical or magical attacks...? -No, more than that, how many tentacle attacks do you have? Why did a level 300 knightmander die so quickly? -That''s not the problem. Why does the number keep increasing...? As the battle continued, the soldiers of the Holy Empire turned gray and copsed. While they fell one by one, the number of Soul Eaters began to increase. [Kee Ee!] [Kiyaah Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhters, hundreds of thousands of souls that fill a lot of the Holy Empire''s military hubfatima. In the center of them flying around shouting grotesque screams as if they were scratching a ckboard with their nails, a being was walking steadily. [Death Apostle Morse] Watching him devour even a high-level angel summoned by Cardinal Gideon, one of the highest priests of the St. Empire and the ruler of Fatima, at the cost of his own life, people I couldn''t keep my mouth shut. -Wow..... What''s the situation? -A priest of the highest rank, at the level of a bishop, risking his life to kill a summoned high-ranking angel so easily...? -No, more than that, isn''t that angelpletely extinct instead of reverse summoning? - You''re getting stronger by eating divine power, right? Koo Goo Goo Pce. A celestial being, a race that has not yet fully revealed its true face. angel. Since it was the first time since Arcadia opened that it appeared openly, it was something that deserved a lot of attention, but after that, the users were silent about the unusual change in Morse. [The presence of death in the beginning is greatly strengthened.] [The number of subordinates that can be controlled is greatly increased.] [New execution targets have been added.] [ Please check the mission system.] It is different from before by directly swallowing a higher angel. The number of family members increased beyondparison. The enormous size of the soul eaters filling the skies of Fatima and the ominous purple aura emanating from his body like crazy stimted the viewer to feel a sense of danger close to instinct. A situation on the verge of imminent disaster. Morse stared nkly into space as if checking something. And he muttered with a strange smile as if he was having fun. My next destination is... Eden. As if he was finally ready to realize his revenge, he now went to Eden and blew up the heart of the Holy Empire, including the damn Pope, and designated them as execution targets. Confirming the mission he had given, Morse spoke to all the viewers who would be watching him in a tone full ofposure. If anyone wants to stop me... go to Eden and wait. I will take that life myself and give it the true rest of death. A provocative tone, as if he was confident that he could deal with anyone by himself. He kindly guides you to your destination and challenges billions of users around the world to the point of being arrogant. Originally, even if he was the world''s No. 1, if he made a simr remark, he would have put all sorts of curse words into the carpet bombing, but at this moment, no one dared toe forward. Although the reason is unknown, he possesses the unprecedented ability to forcibly delete a character upon death. That''s why these adventurers of Arcadia crawled on their stomachs with their heads bowed, watching him as he slowly led countless followers of death to Eden. To save that thread of life. * * * At that time when the whole of Arcadia is shaken by the resurrection of the death of the beginning. Satan, the ruler of the demon realm, the lord of all the fallen, and the demon lord of chaos, could not stand theughter that erupted without his knowledge and smiled. Keuk Kuk..... Kiki Kiki..... Tan giggles alone and smiles darkly, as if the taste has gone. L, who had been watching him giggling andughing openly for a long time, tried to endure his reaction, but at some point the anger gauge exploded and he rushed towards Tan. This fucking bat has been tearing things apart since a while ago. Do you really want to lose! Who said that other people''s misfortune is my happiness? L, who was already very sensitive due to a series of incidents. Tan, who was watching her from the side,ughed loudly, unable to hold back theughter that burst out even when he was beaten to a level so violent that he felt the intent to kill differently than usual. Kiki kiki kick. If it were you, wouldn''t youugh? Finally living and living I see all the chicken chicks getting fucked. Khehehehehehe! As if he had no regrets even if he died, Tan fluttered without closing his snout even as his small fist struck him in the face with a one-two straight. He shouted as if he was genuinely amused. Finally, you guys have be X too! If it was death in the beginning, you were in charge of chicken wings in the first ce! ...? Heaven was originally set up as a triangr rtionship. devildom. and the underworld. Those who yed a role in each other''s affairs exquisitely, upying each other''s superiority between the factions. However, after the death of the beginning and the underworld he controlledpletely disappeared from this world. Tan had been fighting a hard fight alone, so lonely. Do you know how hard we''ve lived our lives watching the fucking chickens until now because the one in charge of you guys disappeared? Now, finally, the guy who will stick candy in your face is back! Tan wees the current situation where the death of the beginning is about to be revived more than anyone else. He made fun of El with a smirk, even with his swollen face, as if he was excited just imagining it. Jae-young stopped the fight between the two by rushing at Tan and grabbing her by the back of her face as if she was making a fatal expression. Stop it. Do you two still have to fight in such a serious situation? Jae-Young blocks him, saying that he has no time to waste time by beating around like this. However, L gasped and flicked his tongue as if he was not feeling well, then slit one eye and shouted at Tan who was teasing him like an elementary school student. This fucking XXXX and XXXXXX bastard has been in the same mood since before, but he keeps provoking! Where can I really turn it upside down? uh? Heng? Can you afford to fight us in this situation? This... you damn bastard... Tan teases and humiliates while full ofposure, and L squirms as he looks at him. Jaeyoung, who had been watching this ironic and awkward situation for a while, as if the host and guest had been overturned differently than usual, said with a sigh as if he was tired. I''ll stop the resurrection of the death of the beginning of El, so calm down. Eh? What do you mean, master? Is that true? At Jaeyoung''s words, L turns his head and asks if it''s true, and Tan distorts his face, saying, What kind of dog-bones are you talking about? In response to the conflicting reactions of the two, Jaeyoung said with a determined face. huh. Don''t worry, I will definitely stop it. An ordeal too great for a single adventurer to prevent. Strangely, however, El could feel a strangely firm trust in his words. If this human is... maybe it''s possible...'' She is an existence outside ofmon sense who managed to achieve countless near-impossible things in an extraordinary way, and she can see through the reality even with her forerunner of causality. the only one who can''t Dex. The moment she, who had been watching everything he had done in Arcadia right next to her, had a strange conviction that if it were him, she would be able to prevent this situation somehow, Tan jumped up and started having seizures. What are you talking about, Master! Why stop this! The pain and trials I felt after being oppressed by the fucking chickens for eons. Recalling the demons of Hell, who had lived in misfortune, receiving all sorts of insults and suffering from cold food, he urgently shouted at him who was trying to give oxygen venttors to the perishing chicken chicks. Think carefully, Master. It''s good for the owner too. You say that the master''s mission is to confuse Arcadia as much as possible? Helping those damn chickens is a direct vition of the owner''s mission! Hidden ss Bard of Anarchy. Jaeyoung still remembers the innocent voice that whispered in his ear at the moment of his job change. [Let''s do our best to y hard in the future. Like I''m doing right now.] A job whose mission is to disrupt the world and feed everyone equally a huge and bulky candy. So what Tan said was not wrong. You are all right. what....? Jaeyoung nodded in agreement with his words so easily. Seeing him like that, Tan put on a puzzled expression as if he was at a loss for words. If that cheesy bastard, who seems to have suffered from the second serious disease, is resurrected, the world will be more chaotic. I know that. However, the confusion was not triggered by him, but was started by a third party with whom he had no acquaintance. That''s why Jaeyoung said he didn''t like it. By the way... did you think I would just sit back and watch this unintended confusion? Even if I y a game, I have to do it myself. Where are you arrogantly overturning someone elses table first? Even if I overturn the table because I don''t like the side dish, I overturn it myself. Seeing Jaeyoung, who insisted on helping the Holy Empire with absurd sophistry, Tan looked at him with a look of sincere disappointment. The owner... always favors that chicken until the end. Eh? What bullshit is that? Jaeyoung asks back with a genuinely absurd expression when he says he favors L. But Tan grumbled and muttered as if he knew everything. How many years have I been with the Demon King, do you know that you dont even know that? Whenever I praised him for being vicious, he openly hates it, but secretly knows that he is good to L. Anyway, I said that the ck-headed beast is not harvested. Ehh... it''s my fault. Tan turns aroundmenting after saying something like a mother-inw who misbehaved with her children. At his reaction, Jaeyoung smiled. Arent you over there seriously misunderstanding something? What am I! Tan grunts with a sullen expression. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung said with a very strange smile. The decision I''ve made now is a situation where even kneeling down and thanking you is not enough? what....? why me....? Tan seems to have not grasped the situation properly yet. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung took out something from his inventory. Is that...? no way....? The eyes of Tan, who was trembling in disbelief with a face of astonishment, seemed like symbols of shame and humiliation. [Hey, you guys are so excited?] The deathbringer, the magic weapon of the demon realm that Jae-young mercilessly shattered after being seduced by a vicious chicken after leaving the demon realm for a while. Jaeyoung, who took out the pouch containing the pieces, poured out all the contents on the floor without hesitation. charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Pieces of pitch-ck darkness scattered across the hard ground without hesitation. Jae-young, who poured out all the irrecoverable sacred pieces that remained as fragments while losing all his power due to the divine power of the powerful archangel, raised an enormous amount of power that he had never manifested before. Woo woo woo. The unparalleled power that rises from his whole body, his probabilities, disregards all thews and causality that have already been established in Arcadia, and raises the ridiculous deceptive power that can distort it to the maximum level. said. Imand you as an adventurer who freely roams this world and a wanderer in a chaotic world. Like an ancient deity reciting divine words, Jaeyoung said with a smile as if all of this was fun. O god, which contains the divinity of all fallen people, reappear on this earth. Chapter 336 Chapter 336 Kill the Pope (6) The Beginning of Arcadia. Gods, the first beings born in the Creator''s imagination. Each of them was a being with a high rank, and possessed a transcendent divinity appropriate to its vessel and a position appropriate to it. And... the symbol of these noble people and the source of powerful power, the divine instrument. Since it was the most powerful means of actively revealing one''s power in Arcadia and interfering with the entire continent, and it was a god''s weapon that literally contained the power of a god, the process of making this sacred weapon had to be apanied by a rigorous and demanding process beyond imagination. . Woo woo woo. That''s why..... The archangel and the demon king, who were watching the phenomenon that was happening right in front of their eyes, were literally opening their mouths in a daze with faces in shock. Imand you as an adventurer who freely roams this world and a wanderer in a chaotic world. A bowl of God that haspletely lost its divinity and has been reduced to mere fragments. O god, which contains the divinity of all fallen people, reappear on this earth. The madness of an adventurer whopletely resurrects them on thisnd again. Cuckoo coo coo coo. This crazy..... How can it be..... this is really going to happen...? Tan and L, who have expressions that make no sense and can''t even connect their words properly. However, Jaeyoung said as if he didn''t care about the reaction of the two. What are you so surprised about? I heard you saw that ancient artifact when you were restoring it before? In the past, Jae-young restored old artifacts using probability to find a clue for moving from the Caribbean to the New World. He recalled the memory of that time and looked at the Deathbringer, which began to restore itself in front of his eyes. time regression. The ridiculous power to turn back the time of an ancient relic that haspletely lost its power in the vast flow of time and restore it to its full state. The two of them looked at Jaeyoung with astonished faces even when the ancient artifact was restored in a way that was notcking even if it was called power, but now they were much more shocked than then. [Deathbringer, the god of the underworld, reacts to probability.] [Required probability has been met.] [Recovery begins.] The disappearing divinity...ising back like this...? I can''t believe it... Even if it''s a time loop, it can''t change the established fate... The two of them felt intensely in the huge storm of probability that raged in the vastness. A huge cause and effect that was intricately entangled in Arcadia. A fate that was already decided long ago. A setting that can never be overturned. That at this moment, it ispletely twisted andpletely woven into a new look. puddeudeuk. Pudeudeuk. The Deathbringer, which had been scattered and shattered into hundreds ofrge and small pieces. Tan, who has been looking for famous craftsmen in all dimensions, including the Pandemonium, to try to restore at least the appearance somehow. At that time, the unrecoverable sword that everyone shook their heads with a face of difficulty and told them to give up was now beingpletely restored as they merged into one like a lie. The moment when the huge jet-ck sword thatpletely absorbs all the endless light reveals itself in its entirety and regains its former appearance. Tan let out a moan of emotion. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa . A sticky ck aura emanating from the sword like mad. His divinity, the source and source of power that represents the Demon Realm. Corruption. Seeing the sword that exudes the energy of corruption and reveals its own presence, Tan and El realized. The fact that in Arcadia, the symbol of the Pandemonium has resurrected. [Item recovery has been sessfullypleted.] [Item Broken Deathbringer'' has been changed to Death Bringer''.] [ 20000000 Probability consumed.] Oh, it''s more sophisticated than I thought, right? The Deathbringer with the entire sword shining pitch-ck, from the de to the handle. There, the aura of corruption rising ominously was showing off an unusual appearance and spewing out an enormous slyness. Um...but this is troublesome. Why are the wearing conditions so demanding? However, unlike its appearance, it is an item that is no different from a rice cake in the painting. Jaeyoung grumbled while examining the Deathbringer''s item details window, which hadpletely regained its original power, as if it were not a lie that it was a sacred weapon representing the Demon Realm and a weapon Tan mainly used. Only the wear level limit is 500, and the bad business is 10 million? Did this damn dungmangem set this as a wear restriction?'' A crazy level limit that only users who have reached the level of absolute strength, almost like the Pope of the Holy Empire, Amen, can wear it. In addition, the evil karma figure of 10 million was a level that could be achieved only by eating several continents and doing vicious and heinous things that even Satan would say, Ah... this is a bit...''. . Considering that the level of users has stayed at the 200s so far, there is not a single person on this continent who can wear this item. But... Tan shook his head at Jaeyoung''s grunt. No, the owner can wear it. what....? What does that mean? Jaeyoung asks. His face was full of doubts because he was already getting a message saying that it was impossible to wear it ording to the game system, but Tan''s expression was very serious. To be honest, it is true that the master''s own fighting ability is so pitiful that even if he fights against a low-level monster, he cannot win. If you don''t borrow power through a spirit god, pure power itself is lowly. Strictly speaking, he would fall mercilessly even to slime if he didn''t lend his strength with probability as coteral. But Tan was looking at something deeper than that body. But I dont decide who will hold the Deathbringer on such trivial things. Deathbringer, who must return to the person who will be an apostle, that is, the agent who originally performed the mission of the demon world. However, now in Arcadia, there was no one who could rece Tan''s will... the will of the demon world, so he spoke to Jae-young without a moment''s thought. I''ve never seen a vicious and vicious human like the master in Arcadia. Or maybe even all the vicious and corrupt beings that have earned that notoriety for eons of time will not be able to catch up with even the grime of their master''s ws. He speaks with a very serious face about a story that is almost like apliment or a curse. Jaeyoung muttered, frowning as if he was confused about whether he should like or be angry at Tan''s story. ...I don''t think it''s that much... Anyway, the owner deserves to hear my... no, the god that represents the Pandemonium. I will guarantee it in the name of Satan, the demon king of chaos, the ruler of all fallen beings and the burning demon world. Tan, the undisputed owner of Deathbringer. Upon receiving his recognition, several additional messages appeared in front of Jaeyoung''s eyes. [The item''s hidden wearing conditions have been met.] [It has been recognized by the demon king Satan.] [ The item''s wearing restriction has been lifted.] [The title a wicked person recognized by the devil king'' has been obtained.] [The title The growing demons'' Exemry'' has been acquired.] [The title Symbol of viciousness and wickedness'' has been acquired.] ..... An unpleasant title that seems to confirm that he is the most vicious person in the world. Jaeyoung, who had obtained a title that seemed impossible to show off, let alone brag about, sighed deeply as he confirmed that an item that could not be worn before had been added. Ha..... Really, this fucking shit..... Jaeyoung felt strangely regretful at the situation where he kept turning an ordinary petit bourgeois into a rare viin that would never exist again in this world, but when he thought about what he would do in the future, that too. I didn''t think it was wrong, so I sighed as I licked my lips. Ehh..... yes. do the bad guy Im really dirty, so I just want to be treated as a bad guy. As if he had given up on everything, Jae-young admits that he is a bad guy. Looking at him like that, El asked with a very ominous look. What the hell... what are you thinking of doing? huh? what? Jaeyoung has never talked about his future ns in detail. Therefore, his sudden resurrecting of the magic of the demon realm was enough to create deep anxiety in El. You''ve exhausted such a huge probability and resurrected the magic of those damned bats without expecting anything in return. Why the hell...? Jae-young, who had already umted an enormous amount of probability to the extent that it was possible to restore the Deathbringer a long time ago. His probability, which had been raised by three mushroom clouds and obtained a probability close to 80 million, was piled up with iparable numbers. [Probability: 172311200] Probability that even after restoring the Deathbringer, it is piled up with an insane number of 170 million. The reason this was possible was none other than a huge achievement that three of his assistants had recently aplished among themselves. The second main scenario opened by Angelina and Casis, led by I am Yatongson. [Act. 2 Resurrection of Divinity] The protagonists who brought out the story of the ancient myth hidden in Arcadia and stained the whole continent with the rice cake of the sealed god and apostle. In proportion to the changing and cataclysmic situation of Arcadia in these moves, all of them contributed to making Jaeyoung''s probability full. Oh this? Jaeyoung smiles as he looks down at the Deathbringer in his hand. He looked down at the sword, which was emitting a lot of corrupting energy, and said. I heard that the apostle of death in the beginning absorbs divine power and strengthens that power? Then you can''t stop it with your own power. A mortal power with a strong match advantage over divine power, enough to be called the one in charge of the celestial world. Therefore, Jaeyoung knew very well that it would be very disadvantageous to prevent this situation by borrowing Michael''s power. Then... are you going to kill that apostle by borrowing the power of the Demon World? L nods as if agreeing with Jaeyoung''s story and asks seriously. But he asked again, his eyes wide as if he was talking about that. huh? no? What are you doing by killing him? yes....? Two people who seem to havepletely different thoughts. It was none other than Jaeyoung who spoke first. Anyway, that apostle is also an adventurer. Even if you die, you will be resurrected again. Even if I beat him this time, what will he do if hees back to life and messes with me while I''m gone? A selfish being who deletes other people''s characters and resurrects her own characters even if they die. So Jae-young was thinking of apletely different way because there was no way to fundamentally stop his madness other than to prevent him from ying games again in real life. Then what the hell are you going to do...? Jaeyoung seems to be telling a story that ispletely different from the direction he was thinking of. Looking at him like that, L, who had an uneasy look in his eyes, turned pale at Jaeyoung''s low talk. Simple. The death of the beginning makes it absolutely impossible to satisfy the conditions necessary to resurrect in Arcadia. What is that...? Wait a minute. L frowned and tilted his head at the story he couldn''t understand. However, as if he realized something soon, he asked again with a pale, tired face. Then, what could that mean...? L was so shocked that he couldn''t even connect the words properly. But seeing her like that, Jaeyoung nodded as if he was right. that''s right. Eden, the source of divinity that supports the Holy Empire, I will blow it all up myself before the Apostle of Death eats it up. Woo woo woo. A demonic deity with the power to corrupt all pure beings. Deathbringer. It was his intention to use it to corrupt Eden, the ultimate divinity like delicacies that would not be avable to the original death, and spread shit on his table. Click. So Jaeyoung took out the deceiver''s mask from his chest for the first time in a while and put it on his face. Now...then shall we go? Jaeyoung, who has a very smirk and evil smile. Transformed into Choco Piezoa, he spoke to L, who waspletely frozen with eyes shining with anticipation. For the splendid return of Choco Paijoa, a vicious and evil viin who will never be seen again in this world. Deathbringer, the deity of the demon world that had been corrupted like that, was resurrected in this world in its original form. For a story that will be permanently stamped on the Arcadia ident Bulletin under the title Kill The Pope''. In order to write a biography called the heinous atrocities of Choco Paijoa, the personality ruiner dog trash''. Chapter 337 Chapter 337 Kill the Pope (7) This being who controls the cycle of life and death in Arcadia and who was once the ruler of the Underworld. Death. Abandoned by the Creator first, he was forcibly imprisoned deep in a mountain range somewhere on the Arcadia continent by Asura, the owner of the ck Mist. [I will help you avenge yourself. Instead, bring death to this world.] An adventurer who cries after losing his precious people by the Holy Empire. Death awakened a vengeance in his heart, who fell into despair and grief, and gave him the strength to take revenge on him who came to him. And as a result... the seal of the beginning, which was suppressing his divinity, was enduring the current situation in a more unstable form than ever before. cooong. cooong. Originally, the death of the beginning, which could not move because its feet were tied to a chain so short that it could not even stand up. However, now he was struggling to pull out a stake that was deeply embedded in the ground, pulling hard on a chain long enough to move around in a small hole freely. Woo woo woo. He pulled it for a while, but the seal emanated a soft light and squeezed him. Looking at it, the ck child looked at the stake with a regretful look and licked his lips. Is it still...not enough...? A seal that had bound the ck child for eons. He desperately wanted to pull the damn stake right now and expose himself to Arcadia again, but he tried hard not to be impatient. Just a little more... To his own existence, which has be stronger than ever. The power of restraint, which was iparably weaker than before. He sat down again with a calm face, thinking of his apostle who was working hard for his resurrection, devouring the power of immortality of adventurers outside and devouring the power of the heavens. Woo woo woo. Feeling the ever-increasing divinity with your whole body as if you knew no limits. * * * Thepany responsible for the overall operation and management of everything that happens in Arcadia. Arcadia Co., Ltd. In thispany, which has dozens and hundreds of branches established and operated around the world, the two branches that provide services in North America and Korea were respondingprehensively to this incident as a super emergency to the extent that it would be appropriate to say that it was a wartime situation. It is said thatints about the character being deleted are flocking to thepany building. They''re blocking it somehow, but they say it''s impossible with security personnel! The media continues to request rted materials. They are threatening to use the article as they please if I dont release it right away! I just sent you the data that calcted the amount of damage! Please confirm! I just sent an e-mail to the expected scenario ABC about the direction of future scenario development! The Customer Satisfaction Service Team has received a request for urgent dispatch of counselors! A battlefield in a fierce office where all sorts of documents are handed over and delivered here and there, wandering around frantically between phones ringing like crazy. Inside, everyone from low-level employees to team leaders were busy running around on their own two feet to deal with various problems that urred while performing their duties, and the voice of General Manager Kang Tae-hun, who led all of them, filled the office. Call the cops, not the guards! Do you think this situation can be solved with security personnel! If you get even the slightest bit violent, take legal action right away! If you write a novel, it''s apletely out of the press, not the knight once again. okay? Be sure to tell them that in the future you will be a sucker for advertisements and will not even think of getting articles from us! Who sent the damage calction data! uh? Is this right? Did you just send me thetest data from 2 hours ago? If there are surplus personnel in each department, turn them into civilints immediately! If no one is there, have a cleaningdy sit down and let her do it! Director Kang Tae-Hoon, who immediately responds to and gives instructions to all kinds of problem reports pouring in from all departments. He is in charge of the crisis management response team... No, he is the absolute general manager regardless of department or position in the case of an emergency at the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. He has strong authority to give orders and instructions to everyone. We were doing our best to respond to this situation by mobilizing all our capabilities. Huh..... It''s really no joke.'' Employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are clearly embarrassed by the sudden situation. Even General Manager Kang Tae-hun, who is giving work instructions to such people, was embarrassed by the unprecedented situation he was experiencing for the first time. It''s a job that can be forced to delete a character. This nonsense.....'' Increased ess to information at the direction of CEO Lee Mi-yeon. Thanks to that, the employees of the crisis management and response team, including Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, were able to read rtively detailed data about the current situation, and those who grasped the reality were astonished. Forced deletion of character. The birth of a user with the incredible power to permanently erase the character itself from this Arcadia at the same time as death in the name of the mortal authority. Even a normal game would cause a stir, but in Arcadia, where capsules cost tens of millions of won just to y the game, the aftermath was so great that it was iparable to other games. This could really lead to a worldwidewsuit..... Or rather, isn''t this kind of data deletion illegal?'' Something that could be legally problematic. In addition, looking at the situation of North American users who have already predicted arge-scale ss actionwsuit, Korea was not in a very rxed situation either. Aww! Why the hell is that bastarding our way? Please... please don''t touch that poor user...! Ah-oh! Why the hell are those idiots going to such a dangerous ce! Morse visits the major cities of the Holy Empire one by one and gives them eternal rest in death. Despite the fact that his notoriety had already spread here and there through Arpendia, strangely, there were madmen who always visited him. [Yuha! Hello viewers. What am I going to do today? It is to visit the apostle of death, which is a hot topic these days, and see him in person. how is it? It must be fun, right?] [Eh, even if the character is deleted, the gamepany would just leave it alone? It will definitely fix it. Even Arcadia Co., Ltd. has not been able to give an official answer, right? That''s obviously because it''s a bug. What kind of lunatics deliberately create this situation?] [I will protect this holy empire from that Morse or whatever! Even though I''m level 30, with evil! with bullshit! I''ll stop that bastard! Subscribe and Like! please! Brothers!] [If you donate more than 10 million won as a mission, I''ll really film the contents of exploring the Holy Empire.] Thepetition for the number of subscribers in Arpandia is getting more and more difficult as the days go by. As time goes by, they do not know if their characters will fly away in order to satisfy viewers whose standards are rising as if they are not even stimted by mediocre general content, and to attract people''s attention and rapidly grow the channel at once. I was epting the situation and walking toward the limb with my own feet. You pathetic idiots who cant even cover their shit and pee. Leave it like that and just call and whine that your character has been deleted... Several streamers in Arcadia are unable to achieve this kind of performance and end up at a below-average level. Director Kang Tae-hoon gnashed his teeth as he saw those who imed to be the prey of the apostle of death with thecency of trying to pull it properly once and for all. Jumping among the busy staff to solve this situation, which is still unpredictable. Today, the peaceful daily life of Arcadia Co., Ltd. employees was beginning. * * * The moment when General Manager Kang Tae-hoon leads his subordinates and struggles at the forefront. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was earnestly requesting intervention to prevent this incident in the office of President Lee Mi-Yeon, his direct superior and the ultimate manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Boss, you need to reach out to top developers right now and ask for immediate intervention. If we don''t block the user with the hidden ss of Cycle Enforcer'' and if the divinity of the original death is resurrected, no one will be able to handle what will happen in the future. Settings about the death of the beginning, which is information that originally only President Lee Mi-yeon could have ess to. However, thanks to her elevation of the executive director''s authority, he was also able to recognize in advance what the worst oue this situation would bring. A patch that deletes a character once it dies is applied. This will not be a level that can be passed over as a simple apology. It will literally destroy the entirepany beyond the game of Arcadia! The situation is trying to turn a game that worked well into an extreme hardcore game where the character is deleted even if the character dies just once a day. He couldn''t understand at all why the developers put such a setting into the game, but what he couldn''t understand even more was the attitude of President Lee Mi-yeon, who was just looking at this situation. Infinite freedom is good and infinite possibilities are good, boss. But aren''t all of these things that can be achieved only when the user exists? Indeed, if the divinity of death in the beginning is resurrected and death in Arcadia bes true death in the future, there will be no one left. Virtual Reality Arcadia. The reason why people are crazy about this virtual world even though they know everything is an illusion. There were countless reasons to list them one by one, but the biggest reason Kwon Myung-han thought was one. The point that you can ovee and ovee any adversity, any difficulty, or hardship by bumping into and bumping into your body. A world where there are infinite opportunities to challenge once again even if you die dozens or hundreds of times. That is why people are so passionate about Arcadia. A heartless reality that does not tolerate a single mistake. For those who have given up numerous choices and adventures in that reality and have been forced to make only stable choices, Arcadia, where they can make dangerous and life-threatening adventures and choices, was no different from an escape and liberation. Please make the best decision not to disappoint thispany and everyone who enjoys virtual reality, sir! That''s why Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, sincerely pleaded with President Lee Mi-yeon for the sake of thepany. Please, grant me direct intervention to stop this insane madness right now. ..... However, at the words of Kwon Myeong-han, CEO Lee Mi-yeon didn''t say anything and just stared at him in silence. after such a long time. she asked in a low voice. Do you know that, manager? What... do you mean? I am also doing my best to prevent this situation. yes....? President Lee Mi-yeon says that she is doing her best. However, at her words, the managing director opened his mouth with a puzzled face. Locked in her office, she does not give any instructions and just keeps silent. However, President Lee Mi-yeon''s attitude toward such an executive director, Myeong-han Kwon, was very dignified. Although it''s a little different from the executive director... I''m also doing what I can for the benefit of thispany. For example... is it enough to move an aircraft carrier? ...? President Lee Mi-yeon, who speaks of an aircraft carrier in an absurd way, says that she is also working hard. Then she nced at the monitor, examined something, and then smiled strangely and said in a confident voice. Do not worry too much. Because the power of the users who y this Arcadia is stronger than the executive director imagined. Someone will surely appear to stop this crisis. At the same time, she spoke softly to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was looking at her with an iprehensible look. Of course, I dont know if it will be a hero who will save the world or a more vicious viin. Chapter 338 Chapter 338 Kill the Pope (8) Eden, the capital of the Saints of the Holy Empire. An antique fort built on sacred ground blessed by the blessings of the lofty heavens. Everything is made of pure white marble, which further enhances its dignity. It was also the pinnacle of splendid art. Statues and artworks praising the gods and heaven decorate the entire city, and hymns with a beautiful and captivating tone that are said to be a gift from God resonate every day in every corner. So sacred, noble and beautiful... This ce, which has the dignity of a holy ce of God, is filled with the pope and saints, who are called the representatives of God, and the highest-ranking holy knights and priests who assist them, so that no evil energy dares to escape. It was like an absolute sanctuary that could not be invaded. Woo woo woo. but. At this moment, strange movements began to take ce in that Eden. His Holiness the Holy Field has been activated. The nameless knights of glory and the silent ascetics have all gathered. All holy priests and holy knights of saint level or higher have also gathered. At the end of thest Holy Demon War, a divine barrier with strong defensive power close to absolute defense that had never been activated even once appeared. The Unnamed Temr and the Silent Ascetic all made their appearances, and all those who were scattered throughout the Holy Empire and raised the reputation of the Saint Empire gathered together. Responding to the call of Pope Amen, ruler of the Saint Empire. And to prevent a great disaster from engulfing the Holy Empire. [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !] The crops of death flying through the air with a creepy scream that is creepy just by listening from far away. Already roaming the major cities of Saint''s Empire, those fearsome beings that hadpletely consumed all life therein filled the entire sky not too far from Eden. Are those...the messengers of death we''ve only heard about ... ... A record of the death of the beginning that was barely found in a very old record that even the age in the Ark of Eden''s secret record room could not dare to predict. Thanks to that, Amen and others were urately aware of who they were dealing with. Soul-Eater. And the one who freely uses the family of death in the beginning. Death Apostle Morse. Amen, who confirmed with his superhuman vision that he was walking in a leisurely and majestic manner like the steps of an absolute god, exuding a lot of purple ominous energy from afar, without the slightest sign of haste. He spoke to the brothers and sisters of the church. [My proud brothers and sisters. And blessed children of this sacred Eden.] A mighty wave of divinity echoing throughout Eden. He was conveying his will and God''s will to everyone with a powerful thought that can not be avoided by those who set foot in this Eden. [We were born into this world with the great mission of defending Arcadia in ordance with the will of the lofty Heaven. ] [Therefore, everyone on this continent looked up to the Holy Order and Saint Empire, and no monarchs and nobles deceived us, obeyed and respected us . We have been able to maintain the peace of this Arcadia.] [We are a strong shield that protects this world, a sharp spear that condemns and defeats the hordes of wicked evil, amp that leads and enlightens the foolish and foolish people, and an unquenchable light that shines brilliantly on this world. It must be salt.] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. The followers of death fly madly in the air to devour this Eden. When the Holy Field that blocks them reveals its mighty presence and holds them back. Amen raised the crosier in his hand high into the sky. [Raise your weapon! brothers and sisters It is our mission to punish and condemn the cruel group of evil, so the heavens will be with us. Don''t be afraid of death! brothers and sisters It''s time to fight bravely and prove our power to enforce true justice and God''s will on thisnd by clearly showing that cruel evil being.] p . p. Whoops. Woo woo woo. At his words, holy knights and pdins pulled out swords and maces and all sorts of weapons. And the holy priests who raised a lot of holy power and prepared holy magic. Those who raised their vignce and prepared for battle so that they could engage in battle right away looked at the followers of death who clung to the sacred barrier and greedily indulged in divine power. Parts Tsutsutsutsutsutsu. A divine barrier that disperses its presence with a powerful rupture sound. However, the shield, which was surrounded by death''s followers and swelled by tens of thousands and was consumed by the divine power, could not hold out for long and began to show powerful cracks. fall out. Quick. The barrier began to emit a strange sound, as if a ss wall were cracking. And at that moment, Amen shouted with a spleen face. [Good will defeat evil and win, and save this world as always.] Chaeng-Geurang. With the sound of breaking windows, the followers of death began their invasion of Eden. He shouted among the Soul Eaters, who quickly began to fly in search of their prey, and the holy knights and priests who began to engage them. [That is! It is the power of destruction that we possess!] * * * A fierce battle with the kinsmen of death taking ce in Eden, the heart of the Saint Empire. An unprecedented situation in which all the key forces supporting the Saint Empire, led by the Pope, gathered together. It was a huge spectacle that could not be missed and arge-scale rice cake, so it received tremendous attention from people. -and. But I think it would be really fun. -Really. Not another guy, the Pope himselfes out and fights? I can never stand this. -It''s no joke if you don''t say Amen, but just the guys below him. They arepletely alien beings. -Hehehe... Saint Nunna..... -Crazy. The Nameless Knights of Glory? A silent ascetic? Are those secret societies appearing? -??? What is that? Is this your first group? -has exist. Even within the Holy Church, that''s a ce where only super talented people can enter. It''s a ce where I barely got information about its existence whilepleting a quest in the church, but wow... It''s no joke. -lol. He seems to be a top ranker, right? That''s right. As far as I know, it is a divine-type hidden ss that requires at least level 300 to change jobs. The scene where even the existence of the higher hidden sses of priests and pdins is revealed and the mouth waters with unbearable temptation. Strangely, however, unlike usual, not many adventurers set foot in Eden. -It''s a ce you can''t go to unless you''re a user with a divine ss job in the first ce.... Are you going that way just because you''re crazy? - Lol lol. If you go over there and get caught up in the wrong thing, isn''t the character deleted right away? - You can''t go to hell just trying to pick out one piece of content. -It''s dangerous outside the nket! It is a natural situation that there is nomon sense for those who go to such a limb to choose a video at the risk of a cherished character flying away in an instant. However, there was definitely one crazy person everywhere in the world who acted in the opposite way to themon sense of such a normal person. Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! A scene where fierce battles are taking ce on all sides. In the middle of the ce, there was a female adventurer who screamed shrilly and ran away from the tentacles that flew at a ferocious pace. I''m crazy! Why did youe to a ce like this!'' Yumi is a level 130 priest and dreams of bing one of the most popr female streamers in Arpendia. She fell for the evil and vicious tricks of a few subscribers and ended up making a choice she shouldn''t have made. - Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I''m going to die like that. -and. I really went actual cost. -Don''t die, Yumiya. If you survive, my brother will send you a donation. Viewers who are really risking their lives to run away from those terrible monsters,ughing and giggling as if this is fun. Uhh... Really! Arent the older brothers too much? After barely escaping from another crisis, Yumi sighed and frowned and scolded him a lot, but she couldn''t be truly angry. -why. It may seem a bit risky, but it''s worth it. -that''s right. To be honest, have you ever had so many real-time viewers in your streaming life? Saint Eden, the heart of the empire. The people who gathered to watch Yumi''s broadcast, which captures this moment of Eden... which may be thest battle before the fall of the Holy Empire, were more enormous than expected. [Number of live viewers: 80 million] That''s true... 12,000 subscribers. Yumi was running a pathetic channel with an average of less than 40 real-time viewers, which would be embarrassing to be called a streamer. However, she was able to attract an enormous number of people who had never experienced it before in the benefit of algorithms by taking on reckless challenges that no one else did. A situation where many people are watching the situation that is happening in Eden through her eyes. And they soon realized that the current situation was more serious than they had imagined. Don''t back down! We are... We are! It is thest bastion that protects Eden! Keuw..... How can these monsters absorb divine power... [Kee Ee eh!] [ Kyaaa Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! People were astonished to see the Saint Empire, who could not even resist properly and slowly lose its soul and copse. - Wow..... Is this really a scam? What the hell is that summoner that melts all like that? -I know? They are master level strongmen with at least level 300, but they can''t even dance. -This... I don''t think the real pope or his apostles will be safe if it''s like this? -Ah, no way..... are you really going to do that? Doubts about what to do. People looking at this bizarre situation that can''t even predict how it will go. And with an uneasy face, Yumi looked at a holy knight who copsed in front of her eyes with a face of despair. Ah ..... God ..... He fell down by exhausting whether he was exhausted. The nameless holy knight cried out in grief and despair as he saw countless brothers and sisters dying around him and the wicked family of evil polluting this Eden. Please look upon your servant. He feels sorry for our brothers and sisters who are dying so cruelly and makes us... He desperately seeks God to save them in the face of death. He murmured as he looked down with despairing eyes at the myriad tentacles of death coiling around him. Save me. Quaang. Amb in crisis begging God for help. And at that moment, as if answering that prayer, something descended from the sky, piercing through the family of death at once. [Kee Ee eh!] The agency of death falls down with a painful sharp crawling than ever before. Watching the descendents of death wriggling on the floor with their bodies crushed to an unrecognizable level and soon dispersing in a formless purple light, Yumi and the holy knight who escaped the danger of death looked at the being who saved them. Are you all...? I can''t believe this... Yumi and the holy knight freeze with shocked faces as they see a man holding a sword who seems to be embracing pitch-ck darkness. But it wasn''t just the two of them who were shocked to see him. -That''s...??? -Choco Pie... Joah...? -????? A myriad of hooks crazily climbed into the chat window. However, clear text shimmered above the being standing in front of them, clearly informing them of his identity. [Abyss Knight Choco Piezoa] That''s how Choco Piejoa, a scumbag of human garbage, reappeared in front of people. As an unprecedented viin whomits heinous and heinous evil acts that even Satan admires and notes. Chapter 339 Chapter 339 Kill the Pope (9) Choco Pie Joa. As the owner of the channel called Destroyer''s daily life and the culprit(?) who turned many novice users into mine ves, he must have been the most famous and notorious person in Arfandia. -Ha..... I finally got rid of that damn very life. -What kind of high school student was this because of that damn choco pie? -Anyway, that kid is a kid who will live forever. Those who were caught with his fraudulent video and were stranded for a long time only mining. He was also famous for the fact that thousands of victims came to Choco Pie''s channel whenever they were bored and put all sorts of swear words, but his actions were different even after that. [Let''s go guys. To punish the orcs.] [The content I''m going to do today is saving the world tree.] [Job less than a Elementalist. If you twist it, do you guys be spiritists too?] Choco Piezoa, who took the slimes and raided the tribes of orcs to wage a territorial expansion war, saved the world tree and elves from fearsome demons, and summoned the fire spirit king for the first time as a user, causing a huge boom in spiritists. So, the debate about his true identity has always been a hot potato among people. - What the hell is that bastard doing? Are you a spirit sage or a prosecutor? -Seeing that you summoned an angel, it might be a priest-rted job? -Even if it''s a hidden ss, what kind of chowder-like job makes sense? Where''s the bnce? - The bnce was already gone from the moment I summoned the Spirit King. Haha Choco Pie, which achieved unpredictable and unconventional achievements, once became a subject of great controversy among people. However, recently, he has been active in Arpendia differently than before, revealing himself as much as possible to people and dispelling such controversies. [Now, let''s go hunting with an intermediate spirit today.] [The Cheonra Guild has invited you to do a hidden dungeon raid together. Where is it? Subscribe if you are interested! great! Even setting notifications! Please!] [The secret to increasing the 4 elemental spirit affinity when you want to summon multiple elemental spirits. That tip is revealed today! All of you elementalists, don''t miss the live broadcast!] Chocopaozoa''s content thates up every day in the daily life of the destroyer, which has be the official channel of iPlus. Watching countless videos of him starting with a spirit and ending with a spirit, people quickly guessed. Choco Paijoa''s job is to say that she is an elementalist. But... coo-goo-goo-goo. Right now at this moment. Everyone who looked at him involuntarily opened their mouths and muttered nkly to themselves. What the hell is this... ck eyes and ck hair shining like obsidian. And the very turbid air that emanates from the huge ink-colored sword in his hand. And the title clearly revealed above his head, as if to see it openly, was making everyone watching this scene so confused. [Abyss Knight Choco Paijoa] The Abyss Knight. A title that I''ve never heard of anywhere, but seems so out of the ordinary. And the energy that flowed from his body was a force that could never even exist here in Eden. -Now that... is demonic, right? - Does that make sense? What is the magic spirit? - Then what the hell is the situation? Why is that bastard holding a sword again? -Rather than that... that sword... don''t you think you''ve seen it a lot somewhere? Users who gained the power of the Pandemonium through contracts with demons, including ck magicians and dark knights. They felt a strange sense of incongruity when they saw the Spirit King Summoner Choco Paijoa exuding an aura that was familiar to them, but soon the suspicion began to change to strong conviction. paper weave. dismissal. A divine power that reacts violently like sparks flying around him. The aura of corruption, the power of opposites that can never be mixed together. It seemed that the divine powers that pervaded the whole of Eden were trying to drive away any intruders who set foot in this sacred and holy sanctuary. [The sacrednd of Eden detects the corrupt energy.] [The sacred energy surrounds you.] [The magical energy of the demon realm emits the corrupt energy.] [Defends the erosion of the divine power.] Uuuuuuuuu. However, as if such an attempt was insignificant, the demonic god Deathbringer radiated the energy of corruption and did not allow even a single intrusion of divine power. Thanks to that, he was able to move around in this Eden intact without any reduction in his abilities, but Jaeyoung grumbled as if he was unfair. what''s this? He''s the one who came to help, but he can''t give buffs, but he''s trying to get in the way. An imminent situation standing on the crossroads of destruction. He appeared to prevent a disaster that would bring unprecedented chaos to the whole of Arcadia beyond Eden, but he couldn''t help, but he was strangely saddened by the fact that he was trying to hold on to even the non-existent energy scattered like the air. It was Jaeyoung who came rushing in, but Tan said this as if he was a nobleman. Heng. This is pretty good enough. Originally, he would have burned to death the moment he set foot here? Its because the owner doesnt know how difficult it is to stand still in a ce where everything is covered with the energy of chickens at the height of such divinity. Is that so? From a small pebble on the street to the air that surrounds the entire city. The sacred sanctuary of Eden where everything is pickled with high concentration of divine power. Originally, he had to suffer a tremendous blow, which was equivalent to inhaling poison gas, but thanks to the Deathbringer, which had the source of corruption, Jaeyoung did not receive any blows. Ah, how the hell did the dark knight... get here? A holy knight belonging to the nameless Knights of Glory who haspletely exhausted his holy power and is on the verge of exhaustion. He desperately prayed for salvation by calling on God from the brink of death, but fell into a great shock when he realized who had saved him. What the hell is this situation... Or rather, that power that I feel from the author...?'' He has dedicated his life to the Order, vowing topletely root out the seeds of evil in Arcadia. That''s why the number of fallen beings who fell from his sword was countless, and thanks to the experiences umted over a long period of time, he was able to understand the power of the being in front of him more deeply than anyone else. At this level, the demons... Among them, it is highly likely that the n with the highest bloodline directly intervened.'' A giant among giants. It was a target that had to be immediately purified with holy fire by summoning all the holy knights, but there was no time to afford that. [Kee Ee Ee!] [Kyaa Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, monsters who are already spreading around Eden and sucking the souls of everyone. The moment of despair when the followers of death in the beginning are devouring the whole of Eden, perpetrating one-sided massacres everywhere. And hundreds of soul eaters who had gathered somewhere were flying in the direction where they were screaming sharp, as if they felt that Jaeyoung, who appeared with a powerful energy, was a desirable prey. [Keye Ee!] Souls that fly to eat the tentacles that are woven like a and eat them from all sides. But seeing them like that, he swung his sword indifferently. The sky is breaking. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh Just a slow top cut. But at that moment, extremelypressed demonic energy burst out of Jaeyoung''s sword and spread throughout the sky. Woo woo woo. Aaaaaaang. overwhelming power. The enormous magic that burst through the divine power that spread throughout the sacred Eden was so powerful that it gave the illusion that the sky was copsing. [Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...] And, as if they had been hit by that colossal attack, their bodies were crushed beyond recognition and wriggling on the floor like jellyfish. Everyone in Eden looked confused as they saw the monsters soon reconciling to purple and disappearing, and Jaeyoung cutting down the people of death one after another. What the hell is that...? Dark Knight...? How could such a fallen seed of evil be here...? Are you helping us fight...? The good and the evil who always failed to feed each other. Since they have always fought fiercely at both ends, killing and killing each other, the presence of Jae-young, who is now lending strength to them in their desperate crisis, was nothing short of a huge shock to them. Ah-oh! There are too many! Kwaaang. Quaang. Corrupted energy of evil emanating from here and there. However, everyone was confused that the target of the destructive force was not themselves, but those terrifying and ugly monsters. [Elle Ee!] The crowds of deaths that have been recognized as a top priority when they ughter their colleagues. Surrounded by thousands and tens of thousands of soul eaters, he couldn''t even resist properly and was swept away by the amount of money, so he couldn''t even keep his shape. However, even in the midst of this, Jaeyoung''s face was full ofposure. Woo woo woo. An ominous resonant sound in everyone''s ears. Jaeyoung''s low voice was heard along with the light of the immense ck darkness condensing from the sword he was holding. Requiem of Apocalypse. and that moment. Eden was engulfed in great darkness. Aaaaaaang. Magi spewing out like crazy. The enormous number of the followers of death began to burst out due to the power of darkness and corruption that spread so intensely that one could not dare to fathom its end. [Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee] As if they were swept away by a nuclear bomb, theypletely turned into purple dust without leaving a single shape behind. Beyond that, even the Holy Knights and Priests, who possessed powerful divine power, were vomiting blood as they fell on their knees as if they had received a fatal blow from the mighty wave of darkness that they could not even dare to resist. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu003 Where on earth did this exist... I cant believe it... that weapon... I cant believe it...? How the hell can you kill those monsters at once... this is impossible... The Soul Eaters who gobbled up the divine power and attacked themselves with overwhelming force that they couldnt even dare topete with. All members of the Holy Empire, as well as Yumi and everyone watching the broadcast, were shocked to see the mysterious being who had annihted them all with a single attack. -This crazy..... -Choco Pie Joea... What the hell is that bastard? -Eight X-arms hahahaha isn''t this too much to do? -???: This game is so perfect that it doesn''t need any bncing! - That''s fucking shit really lol The bnce is perfect no matter where you look. -and. But how can you count that much? It''s a fucking scam. -Rather than that, isn''t that bastard an Elementalist? What the hell is that knight of the abyss or Nabal? Again, Choco Piezoa is doing something they don''t even know about. When everyone sees him like that, they are pouring out chatting with enormous doubts. While floating in the air, Choco Paijoa looked down, feeling countless stares looking at her. Whoops. Eden is still in a pretty good state, although many people have died and are mortally wounded. Seeing this strong base of channeling, which is the heart of the Holy Empire and supporting the divinity of the celestial world, and the holy knights and priests who possess great power, Jaeyoung smiled a vicious and despicable smile. What are you looking at so confused about? Do I look like I could be some kind of savior? ...? ...? Jae-young makes remarks that she never expected toe out of this situation. That time when everyone is making a nk expression looking at him like that. He whispered to them all again, unleashing the energy of corruption. Dont get me wrong, you bastards. Today is your memorial day. Chapter 340 Chapter 340 Kill the Pope (10) Archangel Michael, the guardian of light and justice and the lofty glorious Aspect of the heavens. As the only archangel with eight wings, she is the undisputed ruler of the celestial world and has been given a mission directly from her father.e. heaven and hell. and the underworld. Arcadia of the past, where the three powers fought a war of nerves and maintained a delicate bnce. However, the bncepletely copsed one day in an instant. [My child, guardian of light and justice who protects the heavens,pletely erase the traces of those whose names have been lost from this world. This is to satisfy the owner of the ck Mist, so please ept the sin for me.] Appearance of the ck Mist. The fall of many divinities, including the death of the beginning. Since then, a mission given to her as the ruler of the celestial world directly from the Creator of this world. In normal times, direct intervention in Arcadia would have entangled and hindered them in every trivial action. there was. And...they followed the Creator''smand more faithfully than anyone else. Kururureung. Led by the eight-winged Archangel Michael, who holds the sacred god Muspelheim that burns with eternal me, the heavenly army has descended on Arcadia. Arriving on Arcadia in its unrestricted state, the angels led their followers in an unprecedented and horrific massacre across the continent. [Eradicate all traces of heretics. Leave nothing behind on this entire continent, kill, burn, and pulverize them all!] [As God wills! Exterminate all unbelievers without faith!] [This is amand from God. Show no mercy and punish them with true justice!] The brilliant civilization burned down. A hell of human life, where countless innocent innocent lives bleed and fall. In this contradictory and twisted tragedymitted in the name of justice. In Arcadia, a huge power that had never existed was born. [This Arcadia was saved by the Great Heavens. He punished all the vile and vicious groups of evil who tried to devour this continent, and because of that, the world finally regained peace.] He will die a horrible death in anger. By the Holy Empire Saint! We are the true representatives of God who protects this continent!] Holy Empire Saint. In the midst of the huge tragedy that turned the entire continent into a sea of fire, those who grew up to be the strongest empire on the continent in name and reality have yed a very key role in helping the Celestial World gain overwhelming influence in Arcadia. But... at this moment, the brilliant heart of the Holy Empire, which seemed tost forever. The holynd of Eden was copsing. Night of Perdition. Thementation of the dead. The Festival of ughter. Terror of the bottomless pit. Cuckoo coo. Aaaaaaang. Deathbringer, the god of demons. Jae-young, who holds the weapon that can be said to be the source of corruption and shatters and shes everything without mercy. In the ce where he passed, only ruins were left that werepletely destroyed beyond recognition. Keuugh..... Stop it! I can''t believe it... How could such a strong man... remain in Arcadia? The holy knights and priests muttered while looking at Jaeyoung with puzzled expressions. But it wasn''t just them. - Wow..... What is that bastard really doing? That the nameless Knights of Glory or the Silent Ascetics have a minimum level of 300 or higher? -That''s how you crush it in Eden, the stronghold of the Holy Empire? Can you speak? At the level of current users, level 300 is a dream state. In this way, at the gathering of the strongest people in the world of Arcadia, all of them were astonished as they saw Choco Pie cutting down and destroying everything with one-sided and overwhelming force. Except for one thing, of course. Hehehehe...hehehehehehehe! this is it! okay! It feels so good. Tan pours out madughter with an expression as if experiencing extreme pleasure. He was so moved to see Jae-young, who was showing off the majesty of the devil world with his divine spirit and literally destroying the base of the fucking chickens, that he was so moved that he cried afterward. Kheuk..... I really knew that a day like this woulde someday. I believed and believed so much that if I endured all sorts of insults and abuses from those damn chickens, the day woulde when darkness would rise in Arcadia... Even if you let go, the cruel and malicious chicken chicks who somehow noticed it like ghosts, caught it and burned it with a torch without giving it time for the fruit to ripen. Perhaps because of these people, Tan recalled the difficult days when he was wasting only his chance and couldn''t get anything real, so he took out a ck scroll and began to write something faster and more passionately than ever before. Our master... is the most evil, malicious, petty, petty, cruel, and terrifying being in the world. But even so, he always has a warm heart that cares for his mother-inw (?). Normally, he seemed to be secretly on the side of the chicken chicks, but at a crucial moment like this, when he showed his majesty by sticking huge and thick candy into the chicken chicks'' faces like this for our devils, it was true that our master A vicious being... Who said that other people''s misfortune is my happiness? From the perspective of demons in the underworld, it is truly a day of celebration. Watching the ever-strong divine empire copse overnight, Satan, the ruler of the underworld and the lord of all the fallen, was so happy that he could die at this very moment. Is it good? But on the contrary, L with a very cold expression. Like a ticking time bomb ready to go off with a bang at the slightest touch, she was feeling tremendous helplessness at the fact that she couldn''t do anything while watching her house burn. However, as if he didn''t care about that fact, Tan replied with a smile on his face. Okay, isnt that bad? Those goddamn chicken wings all look like they''re going to die? ..... Is it because he doesnt notice or doesnt pay attention to Els heart. Tan just throws a stone fastball in the face. However, L put on a tearful expression for a moment, but soon regained hisposure and gave a very cold warning. You''d better be careful. No matter what the situation is, it''s not to the extent that I can''t stop you guys from messing around. It may not be able to show the same overwhelming influence as before, but even if it is not the Holy Empire, the Holy Kingdoms spread across the entire continent. Because as long as they existed, there were plenty of chances for aeback, and because the amount of probabilities umted by the Heavens so far was beyond imagination, El growled at Tan with a cold expression. So, if you dont want to create a situation where the miracle is in pieces again, youd better not have a false delusion that we look a little weak. Deathbringer, a subject that is like a reverse that should never be taken out in front of Tan. When the person responsible for smashing the precious god into hundreds of pieces threatened to do the same thing again, Tan looked at her with stern eyes as if he couldn''t stand it this time. what? Where''s this damn chicken getting ckmailed? While the base is burning, with what tricks? Show me where impossible or possible? The moment when they growl at each other again and try to fight. A huge cross of light exploded in front of Jaeyoung, who was flying all over Eden and doing all sorts of destructive acts. Aaaaaaang. Powerful divine power that has never been experienced before. In the midst of a huge explosion of light that even the eyes couldn''t open, Jaeyoung was thrown out of the air and roughly crashed into a beautiful marble statue. Chiyiyi profit. Enormous smoke emanating from the whole body. The divine power that prated through the demonic energy that had been covering his entire body so far permeated his entire body as if it were hydrochloric acid, reacting violently with the demonic energy inside his body. [The Demonic Abyss Knight screams at the mighty divinity.] Demons who are more vulnerable to divine power than anyone else. Therefore, since he was in a state of strengthening high-ranking demons, the pure and powerful huge divine power was giving a fatal blow to Jae-young''s body and the strong being itself. Where the hell did youe from...? Beings who appeared from somewhere while copsing on the floor and taking care of the damage. Dozens of people wearing unusual-looking costumes and holding weapons. An old man with a white beard, standing at the front of the group, was asking Jae-young with an antique cane in his hands, looking in disbelief. How... how can you hold the Demon Realm in your hand! no more than that! How could the destroyed divinity be resurrected? The world tree awakened from its eternal slumber. And thepletely destroyed Deathbringer. Amen, who confirmed the information through the stories of adventurers spread throughout this continent, knew that she, the mother of all life, was resurrected to this world again due to the intervention of the heavens. Along with the fact that the evil god of the demon world has lost its function and ispletely broken. That''s why Amen mixed with shock and bewilderment. He said, looking at the Deathbringer, which was spewing out the power of corruption in its intact state, and Jaeyoung, who was holding it, as if he was really confused. I have so many questions to ask of you, Seed of Evil. Even now, if you put down that corrupted god and pray for God''s forgiveness, I will be merciful so that even your soul can be saved. Pope Amen to surrender without fussing more than this. However, Jaeyoung said that his words were absurd. No, if you surrender, you will not be spared, but if you want to kill without pain, would you surrender? I will fight to the death of those who tried to surrender. The pope''s remarks did not break the will to fight, but rather set them on fire. However, he assured his victory with a very confident face. Do not fight in vain. No matter how much you possess the magic of corruption, this ce is now the great sanctuary of the heavens, Eden. There is no possibility of defeating us with the power of destruction. Woo woo woo. Pope Amen, who raises the mighty divine power with those words. As he, with an estimated level of 500, and the most elite holy knights and bishops of the apostle ss who followed him raised their holy power, this area was covered with pure and mighty holy power. Chiyiyi profit. A situation in which an enormous amount of divine power emanated from the Deathbringer that could not be defended even with the power of corruption. Jaeyoung''s body lit up with torches and showed signs of danger here and there, but there was no embarrassment on his face. Die, seed of corruption. Amen, showing off the might of the strongest man in the world, and holding out a staff with an indifferent face. And, along with the mighty light, tremendous divine magic was projected toward Jaeyoung. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A powerful purifying light that no vicious and evil beings can withstand. In that distant and enormous divine storm, where even the upper-level demons of high-ranking lineage seem to be reduced to ashes without leaving a trace. Something mighty darkness burst out. This is...? too deep darkness. In the filthy, dreary, depraved darkness that fills the surroundings, encroaching on the mighty and brilliant light in the hideous smell of darkness that prates the nose. Something dark and grotesque was heard. [Who is telling whom to die? You fucking chicken wing suckers?] Flutter. Wings that look hideous just by looking at them. Although the appearance was simr to that of a bat hiding in a shady and ominous cave surrounded by a ck film, the existence that appeared with its overwhelminglyrge wings radiating an ominous and powerful energy was iparable to the previous one. was projecting [The owner said, right? Today is your ancestral day.] The beast of the Apocalypse. The lord of all the fallen who preside over the hellish underworld in the abyss where ck mes burn. The demon lord of chaos, Satan. It was the moment when he descended into this world again. Chapter 341 Chapter 341 Kill the Pope (11) Eden, the capital of the Holy Empire and the sanctuary where the Pope and the core forces of the Holy Church reside. However, contrary to what people generally perceive, the meaning and status of this Eden were more important than imagined. [Eden is the first realm that our father directly determined for us. Most of the influence our Heavens have over Arcadia is created in that very Eden and spills over to entire continents. Therefore, all sacred denominations in Arcadia spread the will of the heavens to thisnd ording to themand of Eden.] Mount Pagon, where angels are said to have first descended to thisnd. The path of pilgrimage and suffering that the greatest martyr walked while sacrificing for everyone. The ins of Isaac, where Heaven achieved a great and glorious victory in the Great War of the Holy Demons. Unlike numerous celestial channeling bases built throughout the continent, Eden was designated as the heavenly realm by the Creator from the moment of creation. Therefore, due to its powerful setting, this ce has always been widely known to everyone as and blessed by the gods. Woo woo woo. A space filled with pure and pure divine power with the power of destruction, so that no evil being can dare to invade. As a realm of absolute forbidden evil, Eden has firmly maintained its position in the face of numerous crises and threats. But at this moment. A new story of Eden was being written. Give up. Corrupted beings like you can''t defeat us. Pope Amen speaks to Jaeyoung with a confident face. Starting with him at level 500, the most elite holy knights and priests who had passed at least level 400 surrounded him from all sides and were pressuring him with their holy power to the fullest. Jae-young copses on the floor and barely holds on to her sword. However, his condition was more serious than usual. Damn it..... Is this why it''s notpatible with the divine type?'' Even though he was rightly hit by the sudden divine magic, he was hit more than expected. The damage itself was enormous enough to say that it was fortunate that he did not die in one shot, probably because he had strengthened his evil existence. I don''t think there''s a chance of winning this way...'' Sun always wins. As long as those who had the absolute setting of destruction were on the same level as the knights of the abyss from which Jae-young descended... or even stronger, they rushed in droves. . But..... He is a wanderer in a troubled world whose essence is to reject all natural flow and order and twist and change all cause and effect and fate ording to his will. So, Jaeyoung made a natural decision while looking at the numerous threatening divine magics flying towards him. [Satan, the lord of all the fallen, descends on the yer.] [Switch to spectator mode.] Able to suppress all the power of destruction. To bring true evil into the world. Koo Goo Goo. The hot divinity surged powerfully as if to annihte all evil and erase it from this world. In the midst of that brilliance that would make you blind just by looking at it, the darkness of the abyss in the abyss that you have never experienced before began to spread. [Heahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha] He burst into augh of joyous joy even after being properly hit with dozens of holy magics with powerful destructive power that annihted everything. However, as all the smoke cleared, his appearance waspletely different from before. The wings of a bat surrounded by a ck film. Bright red eyes like that of a beast. A huge horn sprouting from his forehead and the fear of hell rising from his body. woo woo woo And in his hand, as if he had finally found his true master, he howled with joy and radiated the full power of corruption, Deathbringer. And Jaeyoung... No, above Choco Piejoa''s head, a title clearly revealing its existence was shining. [Choco Piezoa, the Demon King of Chaos] And then. Everyone who saw this scene through Yumi''s broadcast, who was still somehow alive, froze. -??? -What the hell is that...? -Devil....? no, what is the situation? -Why are you here! What the hell is that choco pie joa!! -X feet. does this make sense? What the hell is going on in the Holy Empire! -I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy!!!!!! The demon king, Choco Piezoa, popped out of nowhere. Because of that, Yumi''s broadcast was literally chaos itself due to the chatting of users who were in confusion, but in the case of Pope Amen and his subordinates, their faces were more shocked than that. I can''t believe it... How could the Lord of Corruption be here...? I haven''t felt such a sign anywhere, so how could the evil beings descend to the Demon King...? Ah ..... God ..... The monarch of the demon and all fallers. Demon King Satan. As a transcendent being who rules a system and a divine being who was given a mission by his father, he had to meet many difficult conditions in order to descend to Arcadia. That is why the Saint Empire has been monitoring the movements of the Pandemonium and its subordinates, the ck magicians, more thoroughly than anyone else. They knew very well that there were no threatening signs necessary for theing of the Demon King, so they couldn''t help but be astonished by his sudden appearance. And when they all stood in a daze, dazed, the demon king said. [The owner said, right? Today is your memorial day.] * * * Archangel Michael, the Aspect of High Glory. As the leader of the heavens and the protector of the heavens, including this Eden, she silently watched the scene unfolding before her eyes, feeling a sense of defeat and bitterness she had never felt before. Keuuugh...! Block! Holly... Chew. Protect the Pope! don''t back down! Even if we die... Quaaaang. Stop the power of corruption! We must persevere lest this Eden be stained with foul evil! Parts Tsutsutsutsu. Satan descended to Arcadia intact with the magic of the demon world in his hand. He took the sacrednd as his territory, destroying and ughtering everything without hesitation, without any mercy, like a fish out of water. [Hehehehehe... Is this your best? No matter how insignificant it is.] No matter how powerful beings are, their essence is human. They were too lowly to deal with a transcendent being with a high level of divinity and dignity, so they had no choice but to fall helplessly under the mighty power freely emitted by the demon king without any restrictions. [Requiem of the Apocalypse.] Kuku kung. A wave of darkness that explodes with destructive power that is different from when Jaeyoung cast it. Watching the sight of the powerful corrupting energy spreading everywhere, sweeping away all the divine power that filled Eden and destroying and contaminating everything, Michael let out a silent sound without realizing it. Ah... The firm sky copsed. Sacrednds torn apart, glorious powers insulted. The strong and firm faith is shaken. The sanctuary that seemed tost forever copses. A fall that spread throughout Eden. Even though it was a situation where the sanctity of those bastard bats, disgusting, ugly, and disgusting to even think about, was tainting the realm their father had bestowed upon them. She couldn''t intervene. Woo woo woo. A narrative of a huge destiny that is whipped around like crazy. The forerunner of thew of causality with the power of omniscience to know everything was saying that all of this was justice. To stand by and watch all of this Eden, which supports the heavens, fall and perish. It is the only way to save this world. It is an inevitable sacrifice to prevent the end of the world. [Oh God! please! Please help!] [Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang. mom! Where did you go!] [Stop it..... Is anyone there? Please save me ...] Oh God! Please!] Even if you don''t want to hear it, you can feel the voices of those who wish for salvation vividly thanks to their transcendent cognitive abilities. In her heart, she wanted to descend directly with Muspelheim in order to rip apart that bastard''s earthenware pot, even if it meant gathering all the possibilities allowed by heaven, but she couldn''t. Koo Goo Goo Pce. The outskirts of Eden, not far from the center where the battle is taking ce. From there, a powerful purple aura that soared through the sky was rapidly approaching in the direction where they were fighting fiercely. A mortal force that brings everything toplete death. El muttered in a low voice as he saw an entity that hurriedly approached, intensely radiating its power as a symbol representing the underworld and the source of death in the beginning. Choose between the resurrection of the death of the beginning or the fall of Eden... The underworld, also called the Iljin in charge of the heavenly realm, originally eroded most of their influence. She sighed as she imagined that mortal power with a superiority that could be considered rat poison to divine power would return to this world. No matter how you think about it... it''s too out of bnce. An option that doesn''t even require weighing. No matter what the situation, Michael had to avoid the situation where the death of the beginning was revived again, so Michael tried to ignore this disaster that was happening right in front of his eyes. I hope this situation ends with minimal damage. * * * Morse, who devours everyone with deceitful power,manding the followers of death. He ate away their souls with overwhelmingpatibility and tried to eat Eden step by step with the ever-increasing circle of death, but he had no choice but to be taken aback by the sudden change. Cuckoo coo. Aaaaaaang. What the hell is this...? A roar erupting from the heart of Eden in the distance. He hardened his face as he saw the buildings copsing violently amid all the roar, even though he hadn''t done it himself, and a window floating in front of him. [The Intervention of the Quest Demon King] The demon king of chaos, the lord of corruption, has appeared in Eden. Among those fighting fiercely to take the life of the heavenly representative, the pope, take his life first and satisfy thest condition for the resurrection of the original death. - Murder of Pope Amen. The Demon King...? Apletely unexpected development. He knew that he would only have to deal with the Holy Empire''s royal guards, including the Pope, but he couldn''t help but feel embarrassed by the existence of the demon king who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the contents of the quest. To kill the Pope before the Demon King...? Pope Amen, one of the absolute strongest in Arcadia. His murder, estimated at level 500, was something he never thought would be possible unless a transcendental species like the Dragon Lord appeared, so his head began to spin rapidly at the appearance of a powerfulpetitor aiming for the same prey as himself. This... Kuuuuuuu. A mortal power that explodes intensely. He muttered with a serious face as he recovered all of his power, which had be iparably stronger than before, and realized his enormously amplified power. It wasnt the time to rx like this. Tucan. A jump of great heights. Then he sprinted swiftly, stepping on the buildings of Eden and running towards the center of Eden, where a fierce battle was taking ce. Woo woo woo. A god that holds the divinity of death in the beginning, containing mortal power. With The Agony of Death in hand. Chapter 342 Chapter 342 Kill the Pope (12) Arcadia has faced numerous crises in the immeasurable eternity of history. In this fictional world with an incredibly deep setting and worldview, the most frequently mentioned crises and confusions were most of them rted to the demon world. Summon demons. outbreak of gue. Massive invasion of monsters. A heinous chimera experiment. Fall of the Emperor. A bloody war with different races. Genocide and genocide... The existences of demons and warlocks who are always mentioned behind the ugly and terrible events that took ce in Arcadia are endless to list. That''s why the Saint Empire always punished groups of them as soon as they were discovered, without a single word of mercy. [Bags like cockroaches. Anyway, there is no end to killing and killing..... When on earth will we be able to root out the children of that wicked group from this world? ] regarded as If you sincerely repent of your sins in the holy fire, even your soul will be saved.] [There is no such thing as a good ck magician in this world. These are beings for whom regeneration and repentance are impossible. There is no such thing as mercy to those who have been abandoned by God.] Saint Empire, who dealt with them in a heinous and hot way, saying that human rights, nabal, and guilt-by-association were the only thing that would lead to death if caught. That''s why they couldn''tpletely destroy the evil lurking in Arcadia. [I will keep an eye on how long your authority willst, even in my own hell.] [I became a warlock only to avenge the people who killed my family.] A true punishment for the demons...] A gigantic seed of evil that is nted in those who have been unjustly sacrificed and those who have lost precious people in the process of pursuing goodness and justice. Just as darkness exists because light exists, evil is born in the process of pursuing good, and in this never-ending chain of hatred and vengeance that repeats itself at any time, the Saint Empire with overwhelming power always suppresses and suffers all sorts of persecution. Warlocks always wished for their downfall. And today... the day they''ve always been waiting for hase. Kwaaang. Quaang. Cuckoo coo coo. A huge and overwhelming divinity that shines fiercely and a dense and dark energy that does not yield to it and collides with it with a domineering force. The legacy of Eden, which had been brilliant, was copsing in the wave of destructive and transcendental power that destroyed everything around it as conflicting forces collided. Even the choirs with beautiful tones who ardently praised and praised God. A work of art filled with beautiful statues and murals that shine the glory of the lofty heavens. Magnificent buildings made of white marble that boasted overwhelming and superior authority. All were shattered and torn to shreds, turning into mere scraps. A transcendental battle thatpletely destroys a city and a civilization that can only be recorded in myths. And at the center, there was one human being chosen by God. Great ..... The emperor who rules the Holy Empire, the representative of the heavens, and the first apostle Pope Amen. He let out a sigh as he looked down across Eden aze with the mes and torches of Hell. The damage... is more severe than I imagined...'' The Holy Land, which has already been polluted and polluted by the power of corruption, has lost its pure divinity. The holy knights were martyred in this battle. The beautiful and majestic city that symbolized the majesty of the Holy Empire was transformed into a miserable and lousy figure, and immoral disbelief in doubting God settled in the hearts of many who had devout and firm faith in God. And all of that was because of the presence right in front of his eyes. [Chocopaijoa, the Demon King of Chaos] A mysterious being who brought the Demon King to thisnd. I don''t know how the devil''s magic was restored and carried around, but this Eden and Heaven suffered an irreparable blow. [The energy of corruption encroaches on the sacred sanctuary Eden.] [The source of Eden begins to be polluted.] [ The influence of the heavens begins to decrease.] [The urgent quest Guardian of the Fallen Holy Land has been created.] This is it . what....? Guardian of the Fallen Holy Land...? The situation is so dangerous that Alice grants emergency quests to all users who have divine-type jobs spread across the entire continent of Arcadia. Eden serves as a key bridgehead and base connecting the heavens and the continent of Arcadia. When this ce began to be contaminated by the corrupting energy of the demon king and Deathbringer, the effects began to appear immediately. Whoops. Amen with a serious expression, feeling that the connection with the lofty heaven, where the power of the heavens that had flooded in so far, was weakening little by little. To him, Jaeyoung... No, Satan said with an annoyed face. [Give up your trivial resistance and give up your life.] Even though it is said that the amount of probability is more than expected, Tan is not sure if Jae-young will nag him if he wastes too much time. He became more and more impatient at the thought that he could not achieve his original purpose and that his spirit could be lifted, but he still tried to persuade Amen with the utmost arrogance and leisurely attitude while keeping the devil''s gao. [Even if I don''t say it, you know very well that not only me, but also the death of the beginning is aiming for your life. If this Eden, including you, is eaten by the death of the beginning, don''t you know what will happen to this Arcadia ? Amen, who knew of his existence through the records of the ark, but did not know exactly what the result of his resurrection would bring, looked suspiciously at Tan''s words. What the hell are you talking about...? The death of the beginning of the existence that was expelled from this world first than anyone else because it was judged to be a powerful threat in Arcadia. However, Tan muttered to Amen, who had no way of knowing all of that, with a puzzled face. [I really don''t know...] A story that doesn''t need to be exined in detail to the enemy. That''s why Tan raised the Deathbringer again and said, emitting intense energy of corruption. [Even if it''s not me, your death and the downfall of this Eden are definitely destined. A huge narrative that cannot be changed by human power. Give up that meaningless resistance and give up your life for me. If so, I promise in the name of the Demon King that there will be no more senseless sacrifices than this.] Many ces have already been destroyed and many people have met their deaths, but Eden is still alive and full of people groaning in pain and screaming in fear. It was a step back, saying that he would quietly step down with the death of only one person, but Amen refused his offer without even thinking about it. Are you insulting me and this Eden with such a ridiculous proposal? Lord of corruption. Woo woo woo. As the Vicar of Heaven and the First Apostle, the Pope bound by numerous missions. At this moment, all conditions that restricted his mighty divine power and all special powers werepletely released, and a mighty divinity never felt in Amen''s body began to boil. Charreuk. A cross-shaped ne with a lot of strange patterns drawn on it. Grabbing the shining white ne with one hand, he closed his eyes and began to pray. Lord, now a group of evil demons are invading the great and gloriousnd you have given us. [warning. Special NPC Pope Amen. Anomalies detected.] [The mission of absolute defense of the Holy Land is activated. All limit release conditions are satisfied.] [Limit releaseplete. Trigger special trigger.] [Code: 213. Emergency action activated.] [Switch to Intensive Analysis Mode.] Your servant is the shield that protects this sanctuary, the spear that ys the hordes of wicked evil, and the beacon of firm faith and faithful believers. This is a lighthouse... Now, here and now, grant your servant the release of power. Fighting. Amen recited a prayer and at the same time roughly tore off the ne hanging from his neck. And at that moment, a great and powerful light began to burst forth from him. Koo Goo Goo Goo. -Wow..... What is it all of a sudden? - I don''t know anymore. what''s the situation again? -Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Just remove the brain and see. -Where the hell is this game going..... -Yumiya! do not die! If you die, we won''t be able to watch the broadcast either. - Hahahaha Is the top bastard really Satan? A battle beyond the limits beyond everyone''s imagination. Yumi, who was the only one who survived and ryed this situation through real-time broadcasting of this situation, who did not know how it woulde to an end, held onto her heart beating like crazy and kept all of this in her eyes. It''s a very tense and suffocating situation... but it''s still fun!'' It is dizzying as if I became a war correspondent risking my life to cover a battlefield where the war is fierce. However, seeing in real time a scene that no one can easily see, she smiled at the strange sense of superiority and specialness, as well as the number of real-time viewers who came madly into her channel and the number of subscribers skyrocketing. If I don''t die and survive... it''ll be really great.'' In just one moment, Yumi drew an enormous amount of aggro and imprinted her nickname in everyone''s mind. Therefore, she looked at the Pope clearly with both eyes, determined to survive. Eh....? Pope Amen revealed in splendid brilliance. He usually carried a cane in the form of a perceptive and slender old man and performed numerous miracles with powerful divine magic. However, his newly changed appearance was changed to the level of astonishment for anyone to see. Pectoralis major muscle swollen as if about to explode. Biceps that swelled up as if they were about to explode, as if there were ostrich eggs in them. In addition, even thets, which are clearly split to the extent that anyone can exim, Wow...''. Amen appeared in the form of an old man with muscles that was burdensome to look at. And in his hand, the cross that was obviously in the form of a small ne suddenly turned into a gigantic sizerger than his body. What is that..... He looks like an old man, but his body is so powerful that it''s embarrassing to look at. And the chat window was literally overflowing with explosive reactions and reactions to the city cars that were watching it in real time with Yumi. -Oh shit hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha the pope? - How old are you, Pope? yes? -???: Pope, how do you exercise? yes? please tell me -It''s a real game level, it''s going crazy . muscle crazy An absurd development that is absurd in the eyes of ordinary users. However, seeing him like that, Tan muttered with a serious face as if he had more trouble than ever. [Are you going to make things that are easy to do difficult? As long as you take out the god Mercy'', you will face irreversible results. You and this Eden and Heaven, all of them.] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Mercy, the ultimate weapon of heaven and only allowed to be used by the pope. Contrary to its name, Pope Amen muttered with a detached face, as if he was prepared for everything, as he slung the cross over his shoulder, which looked too heavy and formidable. Lord, your servant wants to destroy the evil in this world... Kuung. God''s infinite mercy to this foolish lord of corruption. The cross crashes into the ground with a huge roar that resonates throughout Eden. Jaeyoung and the other yers who were watching his contradictory appearance, which did not match his words at all, had a lot to say, but were unable to say anything at the sudden appearance of a new guest. Fortunately, it''s not toote... Morse, the Apostle of Death, was relieved to see that the Pope was still intact. Without time toprehend the situation, he exhaled a lot of purple energy, swallowed all the divine power, and dered, looking at the pope Amen, who was iparably stronger and inted his tough muscles. Amen, Pope of the Holy Empire. In the name of the people of Trezi who died because of you... I will punish you. Morse prepares for battle by fixing the purple dagger, which is the magic of death in the beginning. An unprecedented battle was taking ce in which the beings representing one world, the heaven world, the demon world, and the underworld, were fighting each other. in the sacrednd of Eden. Chapter 343 Chapter 343 Kill the Pope (13) Jack, the creator and chief developer of Arcadia. He was born with a deformity that made him unable to move even a single part of his body and had to live in bed for the rest of his life. He was born with the heartless fate of being unable to do anything and living his entire life meaninglessly, but everything started to turn upside down due to one person who was interested in him. [Huh... It''s quite an interesting toy. It must be worth researching.] Paul Paul, a mad scientist who was looking for a test subject to use for research in the same hospital where Jack was born. Jack was kidnapped by him and taken to the secret research facility Hive, where he met his destined lover. [I''ll tell you interesting stories!] With Jack, who can neither eat nor turn over, Jenika draws in a sketchbook with crayons and chatters to tell her own story. The story of her young girl, about 6 years old, was sloppy and crude. Magnificent nature with huge mountain ranges, vast seas, green ins and rivers. Numerous creatures living on the enormous continent. Each country with its own unique culture and customs, civilization, and history... Jack built his own world in his imagination to ovee such terrible boredom and boredom. No one dares to imitate... He achieved feats that transcended human limits, but the world that exists in illusions and fictions had no value. That is until I met one person. [They say people who don''t talk are deep in thought... I wonder what you''ll think as you''ve never said a word in your life...] [ Wait a few months. I''ll provide a window for you to express your thoughts in the future.] Project Sixth Sense, which was promoted with the goal of creating a system that enables direct information exchange between the brain and machine so that the paraplegic can express his thoughts freely. However, Jack showed an unprecedented level of 100% synchro rate, which is absolutely impossible for a human being, and confidently revealed the world in the illusion he created by himself to reality without hesitation. [This world I created... started with your story. To me, who couldn''t see, feel, or taste anything... Your story was the beginning and end of my world.] [ So I imagined all the peopleughing, talking, crying, fighting, angering, and rejoicing in your story. And all the stories and countless creatures created and destroyed over a long period of time in this world...] Confessing his sincerity to Jennica, the original author and the biggest reason for the creation of this virtual world, Jack asked . [What is the name of this world in your story?] And in response to his question, Jenica named it with a trembling voice. [Arcadia.....] The birth of an unexpected and unexpected virtual world. The Sixth Sense Project has expanded to an unprecedented scale in this highly realistic world made to the point where nothing can be touched anymore. Project Butterfly Dream (). Arcadia Co., Ltd. was newly established with a huge and ambitious goal of starting virtual reality game service in this world. Jack, who started the work to introduce Arcadia to mankind through them, had no choice but to fix the world he created as a whole. [Hmm..... This is more to worry about than I thought..... There are a lot of new things to add...] In a world created through free imagination, countless settings, rules, andws are created. In aplex worldview and history, it is full of secret and dangerous but very mysterious and tempting conspiracies and hidden secrets. Many unnecessary, dangerous, or meaningless stories have disappeared or been deleted. [It''s understandable that I don''t need it... But it''s such a waste...] Jack, the architect who created everything in this world called Arcadia. Called Father'', he loved everything he created and had many attachments. That''s why he made a lot of arrangements to protect as many things as possible. But now Jack couldn''t help but sigh as he saw the fruit sprouting from the seeds he had nted. [Ah..... Really.....] Eden, the capital of the Holy Empire and the Holy Land. He had a lot of thoughts as he watched the main character and core area, which ys a key role in the numerous stories of Arcadia, copse helplessly in a single moment. [Is this why we had to discard the settings that needed to be discarded in advance...] Mortal power is a powerful power that canpletely kill even adventurers with immortal protection applied, and it is a setting thatpletely breaks the bnce of the game, so it is the highest priority. Jack, who hid him who was the target of deletion. He himself expected how dangerous this would be, but he looked down at the world of Arcadia with eyes mixed with sincere remorse as he looked at the results derived from acent mind that there might be a problem and regret that it would be a waste to erase it. [Please... I hope you organize it neatly so that it doesn''t go to the end anymore...] Infinite freedom. and endless possibilities. As the creator and father of all things, bound by that motto and only to behold, he prayed with all his heart. I hope that the world I created will not suffer from a cataclysm any greater than this. I hope that there will be no situation where he has no choice but to intervene in Arcadia himself. * * * Mortal. Corruption. perish. A sh between those who each have a single divinity that is opposite to each other. In that ruinous and destructive collision, everything in Eden was terribly torn down. Lord, let your brilliant light fill all the darkness, and in the holy cross all the immoral will repent and condemn. Give me the strength to judge the fallen evil. Whoops. The divine power that dwells in Amen''s whole body along with the prayer text. Along with his full faith, the transcendent power that came from the muscles that were swollen to the point of being hideous showed the appearance of a merciless judge who punished evil. [Time of Judgment] Koo-woong. cooong. Mercy, a heavenly god and mythical weapon in the form of a huge and massive cross. Amen, who is trying to crush Tan and Morse with the weapon that is bigger than himself. However, while narrowly avoiding his attack with a single difference, the two were engaged in a fierce battle with each other. [The head of the head of those goddamn chicken wing idiots is mine! Quietly give up!] This is nonsense. In order toplete the revenge, the author must be killed with my own hands. Beyond avoiding and blocking Amen''s fierce attack, Tan and Morse growl at each other and fight, telling each other not to touch each other. Doing their best to each other, pouring out all kinds of powerful secret techniques, they showed a spectacr scene that opened their mouths. [Follow me. give in obey I am the lord of corruption! ruler of the demon realm. Devil. It is Satan!] [Death will always be equal to all living beings. die. The Last Breath.] Ugh. Kwak Kwa Kwam. Wow. People let out sighs mixed withmentation as they saw the gods, each holding their own divinity, disying their strength to the fullest and screaming and shing. -Ha..... I''m tired of swearing at this damn dungmangem now. -lol. Even if it''s fucking like this, you''re going to talk nonsense about infinite freedom, infinite possibilities, right? -???: This happened all because of the users! We got it wrong!!!! -Why does this goddamn gamepany make the real God Game so bad...? - Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I really want to shed bloody tears for the divine system users. -Also, I bet everything on making a patch like X and applying it recklessly. Morse and Choco Piezoa are literally at the level of ying an otherworldly game together. The two yers werepeting fiercely, showing strength equal to that of the level 500 Amen. Demon King Satan holding the Deathbringer, an absolute god like the symbol of the Devil World. His mighty and infinite divinity, one of the undisputed deities in Arcadia, was so overwhelming that even Morse, who was superior in the first ce, and Amen, who were inferior to each other, were overwhelmed. [King of Manmaji] Kwaaaang. Tan unleashes his powers to his heart''s content and releases the power of corruption and divinity to his heart''s content with Jaeyoung''s probability. And the result was his one-sided victory. Morse is knocked out after receiving a massive blow. And behind him is the Pope, who lost an arm and is bleeding, moaning in agony. Amen. Keu... Keu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu eu ug..... He, who was put in a state of incapacity for battle after receiving a fatal blow, looked back at the Holy Land, Eden, which had copsed to apletely disastrous level, with a face mixed with various emotions, and stood proudly in front of him. I looked at him with eyes that said it couldn''t be like this. Demon King Choco Pie Joea. [Are you giving up now? It seems that he showed all of the assets he could show.] Although he overwhelms them with his powerful power, Tan has exhausted quite a bit of probability than I thought. Even if he thought about it, he thought that this was too much. However, at the words of Tan, he almost screamed in a fit. It can''t be... it can''t be! This Eden... I... and this Holy Empire! Countless people who supported themselves and the Holy Empire lost their lives, and Eden, which has never copsed and shined brightly forever, was stained by the mighty power of corruption. A huge catastrophe that he could not possibly prevent. It was a hopeless situation to the extent that a normal human would have given up, but he did not give up. The mission that I have as the first representative and apostle of heaven. The firm conviction and belief that I have carried in my heart throughout my life. And the wrath of a man who lost all his precious things. It made Amen take out thest remaining hand. Never bow down to the ugly evil! Whoops. A pure white glow emanating from his body. and that moment. Divine power on a vast scale different from now began to spread out into the sky. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. A key base and sanctuary of Eden, which was in charge of channeling with the heavens. There, the first apostle, Amen, sacrificed his life to ask for help from a being to stop this great catastrophe. Glorious light that shines brightly in the sky, I call upon the great and lofty Aspect of Glory that protects and administers justice to this world... A self-sacrifice spell that summons a celestial being at the cost of one''s life and soul, such as Cardinal Gideon. Looking at the pope who was reciting it, Tan looked back with a puzzled face. Woo woo woo. The celestial ruler who was watching over all of this in the form of a guardian angel. Highly glorious Aspect Michael. She looked at Amen, who was calling out to her for help, and then looked at the bastard bat staring nkly at her, before letting out a deep sigh and closing her eyes. Come to thisnd now and burn all evil with the holy fire and condemn it! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Completion of the self-sacrifice spell. And the holy fire that rises from the divine power that has risen ordingly. Looking at it, Michael knew instinctively. The fact that at this moment, regardless of the probability, I could pick up the divine Muspelheim and descend into the main body and legally punish that bastard bat. But..... My heart is burning hotly, but my head cools down in return. I knew all too well what her role was in this moment. With a feeling of vomiting blood, she had no choice but to give up this moment that was allowed to her. [Rejected.] Kuung. A prophecy given as the ruler of the heavens. With the words of refusal to intervene, the brilliant brilliance that shone Amen and the filled divine power and holy spirit disappeared like a lie. And Pope Amen, who distorts his face with a very embarrassed expression. He looked down at his chest in disbelief. Poo-wook. The god of corruption, Deathbringer. As he watched the de of darkness pierce his heart, he looked at a being grunting with an annoyed voice in front of him. [I don''t even know how things are going right now. Anyways, the ignorant bastard...] The first Apostle Pope, Amen, who supported the Holy Empire like that, died. Being abandoned by the heavens that he believed in all his life. Facing a more miserable and futile end than anyone else. Chapter 344 Chapter 344 Kill the Pope (14) The Pope, an apostle of God and one of the most powerful, Amen. The moment he loses his life and copses into a gray light. The artificial intelligence Alice''s calction circuit, which observes and analyzes everything in Arcadia, began to run out of control to the point of temporarily overloading it. [Special NPC Pope Amen dies.] [Estimating possible scenarios based on the result.....] A huge variable that is different from normal situations. Not just an NPC like a farmer or merchant, but Pope Amen, who had a strong influence on the entire continent of Arcadia. That is why the future that will happen after his death has begun to spread out in a tremendous way that even she cannot easily predict. [warning. Relevant Scenario Unpredictable. Exceedingputational resources.] An unpredictable situation that even she, who has transcendentputational ability to contemte the entirety of Arcadia, where the poption of the world is ying, and devise immediate countermeasures, cannot dare to handle it. So, she started implementing the first priority measures. [Holy Land Eden. Corruption level 62%..... Copse of divine power.] A power that changes and transforms even the basic essence and source of anything. Fall. Even if it is the divine power, which is the opposite power, in the face of Satan, the lord of the demon world and the lord of corruption, and his divine power, a new change begins to ur in Eden, which seemed to be filled forever. [The Fall of Eden. Loss of Sanctuary privileges.] Area Eden, designated by the Creator as the core sanctuary of Arcadia. However, ording to this huge narrative newly created at this moment, she executed changes in the existing setting. [Emergency patch applied.] * * * [Holy Empire Saint''s Pope Amen has died.] Considering his role as a special NPC, he should have appeared in numerous epics and exerted a great deal of influence on the continent of Arcadia. A very futile and futile death. The result of the fall of Eden, which had to maintain its status as the mighty empire of the entire continent, after Amen died before it appeared in the story of Arcadia in earnest. The aftermath returned to all users at a devastating level. [The divinity that stayed in Sanctuary Eden and was full lost its power.] [ The main channeling base of Heaven, Eden, was destroyed.] [The connection between Heaven and Arcadia is greatly weakened.] [ The influence of Heaven is reduced by 39%. .] [The remaining holy kingdoms and churches fall into a temporary state of confusion.] From the point of view of the celestial world, Eden was the most important core base in Arcadia. Since the ce waspletely corrupted by corruption and copsed, it was only natural that the connection with the heavens would weaken, but the aftermath was stronger than expected. [The efficiency of all divine-type skills is reduced by 40%.] [The influence and status of the Holy Church are reduced by 3 stages.] [People''s faith in the Holy Church is greatly reduced.] What...? Reduced efficiency of divine-type technology...? Divine Knight, Priest, Pdin, Heretic Judge, Exorcist..... There are many different types of jobs that use divine power, but there is a process that must be shared in order to change to these jobs. To put one''s name in the Holy Order. A job full of inconvenience and hassle where you have to join the Saint Empire and the Holy Church, swear to absolutely obey their orders and orders, and follow all kinds of trickyws and regtions. It gave an impression like an army to general adventurers who pursue free y and adventure, but many people chose the sacred ss because of various special advantages. [Hoho..... Priests of the Holy Church..... You can trust me and ask for a favor.] [Do I dare to profit from the Ayu priests? I will only pay for the re-rule.] [Sacred knights! It''s really cool!] Divine-type jobs that have the advantage of being respected and treated by numerous NPCs and receiving considerable preferential treatment when buying or selling items without being able to ignore high-ranking nobles who would normally snort and refuse to meet. . Through this, they were able to acquire special and rare quests with almost no money, gainrge and small financial profits, quickly be friendly with NPCs and gain various advantages, but the result of the copse of Eden, which was their strong background and protection. All those benefits disappeared in an instant. With the massive loss of their divine power, their fundamental power and source. What crazy! Heel... Heel...! Originally, 30% of physical strength should be recovered per skill, but now only 18% can be recovered...? Is this a true story now? Wait a minute. Did all of these buff skills decrease in efficiency in this way? Priests who basically specialize in party hunting. All skills that can restore party members'' health, cancel state abnormalities, and overwhelmingly boost existing abilities so that they can deal with mighty monsters, as well as their lifeline, are all close to half overnight. I was greatly shocked by the fact that it was weakened by . And... that wasn''t just a priestly problem. crazy! Steadfast Guardians defense increase efficiency decreased from 200% to 120%? Why is divine enhancement such a thing? No, does it really make sense to cut everything in half? At this rate, its like being reduced to less than half the level in an instant! Recovery, defense, blessing, attack..... A situation where the effectiveness of all skills based on divine power decreased by 40%, regardless of any one, and the bnce waspletely wiped out. So, all that anger went back to one person. -This is the patch that urred when the pope died, right? -I think so? The copse of the Holy Empire and Eden must also be the cause. -Then.... This is all because of that damned Choco Piezoa...? Pope Amen lying down, stained with gray light. And in front of his corpse, a person who returns to his original form and stands in a daze with a face contemting something. At this moment, through Yumi''s eyes, people saw the name shining above his head. [Pope Assassin Choco Paijoa] A title that proudly boasts that it is the protagonist whomitted all these atrocities. Seeing that, people began pouring out ugly and violent words to their heart''s content in Yumi''s chat window. -This XXXXXX and XXXXX do XXXXX bastard!!!! -Wow..... I knew from the beginning that it was personality trash, but it''s really hahahaha -It''s a fucking dog that doesn''t make any sense. Are your parents healthy? -It''s Choco Pie..... Do you think anything will happen just because you''re good at the game? - Watch the back of your head at night. The moment I find out who you are... Because that''s your memorial day. -Do you know who you have touched now? Choco Piejoa ripped out the mouths of all those with divine-type jobs by shoveling huge and bulky candy that they couldn''t handle. And as a result, he was in the midst of all kinds of savage death threats from those who suffered enormous damage from numerous interests, but he was not interested in that situation at all. Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ..... Oh. Are you awake now? Morse was released from fainting after some time. Jaeyoung greeted him and asked. Morse''s vision returned. He immediately lowered his head to the ground in front of him and stared nkly at Amen, who was lying gray and copsed, and then muttered calmly. In the end... you killed him... Yes. It wasn''t because I had any ill feelings, so don''t feel too bad. I probably wouldn''t have interfered if my secret friend hadn''t asked. what....? Morse looks at Jae-young, who grumbles while talking about things he can''t understand, and asks back with a curious look. However, Jaeyoung waved his hand as if he didn''t know anything and went on. Neither do I like these fanatics. I can understand why you guys went to such extremes and said they would kill everyone. The Saint Empire and the Holy Cross Guild were vicious guys who deserved to perish. Jae-young, who intervened in an unavoidable urgent situation and sprinkled ashes on the finished rice, heard his sad and pitiful story through President Lee Mi-yeon. That''s why he whispered a small whisper to Morse with eyes that understood everything. It must have been unimaginably harsh to go through the pain and suffering of that terrible loss that I experienced in real life again in this virtual world. I''m really sorry for interfering with your revenge. what....? For the first time, Morse''s expression was colored with surprise at his muttering as if he knew everything about him. Morse... no Lucas. ...?! He calls his name in real life, not the name he is called in this virtual world. At Jaeyoung''s words, Morse''s face hardened. You bastard... what is your true identity? Woo woo woo. Morse, who red at Jae-young with a wary face, corrected the sigh of the dying god of death in the beginning. Growling, drawing out his mortal strength to the fullest, he asked Jaeyoung as if shouting. How... how do you know everything about me! Cuckoo coo. Anxiety. Agitation. confusion. Shock. Perplexity. Morse shouts as if pouring out the resentment in his heart in the midst of a storm of countless emotions. And at that moment, a message appeared before his eyes. [The death of the beginning borrows the yer''s body and requests to descend into this world.] [Do you ept the request?] [Y/N] Although all conditions forplete resurrection are not satisfied, it takes advantage of the weakened seal. The death of the beginning who descended on Arcadia and tried to intervene. At this moment, the death of the beginning is trying to revive its divinity, albeit indirectly. A voice so sweet and sinister was ringing in his disciple''s ears. Im sorry, but I cant tell you that... Instead, I want to help you. Even at this moment, the Demon King''s minion does not lose hisposure. And he was making an absolutely impossible offer. What if the residents of Trezi Vige coulde back to life? what....? Unlike adventurers who are resurrected even after death, NPCs disappear forever from Arcadia the moment they die. Those who are known to be able to survive only under very rare conditions... Morse instantly put on a dumbfounded expression at the proposal to revive all those who exceeded a hundred. If that happens... can you stop this mad revenge right now? ..... At that, Morse was silent for a moment. And he brought up a question that was tantamount to epting Jaeyoung''s proposal. How do you mean bringing them back to life? Ah... that? First of all... wait a minute... He said to wait a moment and threw out the demonic sword Deathbringer as hard as he could. And the sword lodged precisely in the chest of a person who was quietly watching all of this from a short distance away. Poo-wook. Cheup...? Streamer Yumi groans with her eyes wide open as if she hadn''t expected it at all. She couldn''t say anything and copsed, looking at Jaeyoung for thest time with a grayish expression on her face. Did you think you wouldnt know if you kept watching like a stalker and filming it on TV? Voyeurism should also be done in moderation. Knowing better than anyone else that the situation is likely to cause too much controversy to be disclosed to the public, Jaeyoung smiled as he turned to Morse after eliminating the obstruction that had been rying the whole situation to the world. ruler..... Now that the obstruction is gone, shall we talk seriously about the deal? transaction....? I will bring all of your precious family members back to life. Instead... He suggests that, albeit imaginary, it will help him recover his lost family. And the price is... Give me that dagger you''re holding. what....? The power of death in the beginning. The sigh of the god''s dying horse that embraces the mortal divinity. It wasn''t just Morse who was taken aback by the offer to give it up and hand it over. [We warn that the death of the beginning will pay the price if it abandons its mission.] [If you hand over the Divine Ki to someone else, you may lose your position as an apostle.] [ We rmend that you choose your y carefully.] All kinds of warnings The situation where thest name system messagees to mind. However, Morse gave a slightly puzzled expression and nodded in response. If only I could get my family back... I don''t need any of this. okay....? Then you agreed to the deal? Wouldnt it be embarrassing if I said something elseter? He smiled at Morse''s answer, who was determined. And at that moment, a tremendous light began to rain down from the sky. Woo woo woo. A divine power so intense that even the Pope could not dare to create it. Then Morse opened his mouth as he watched the huge divine magic circle created in the air. This is... Choco Piezoa, who had just brought the demon king down while emitting a terrible darkness. But now he was smiling, exuding a mighty divinity that surpassed even the pope. What are you so surprised about? If the demon king descends, then the archangel can also descend. Spreading his wings full of eight pure white feathers, he took out something with a power so pure and noble. Woo woo woo. A small green fruit in his hand. When a mighty life that could not be dared to be counted from within it began to emanate, it reacted with the powerful divine power around it and began to oscite intensely. Cuckoo coo. The harmony of the powerful life force and divine power that winds all over Eden. And that moment when it alles to a head. In this fantasy world of Arcadia, an absolutely impossible miracle hase true. Resurrection. Chapter 345 Chapter 345 : Non-yer Character (NPC). The most important beings who support the virtual world by providing various events and content while interacting with adventurers who are natives and yers living in Arcadia. Billions of... no, tens of billions of NPCs are living their own lives with different roles in Arcadia, and Arcadia adopted a setting that ispletely different from normal games. [The death of NPCs in Arcadia meansplete death. Again, you won''t be left in an invulnerable state where you won''t respawn over time and important NPCs won''t die. So, think carefully when dealing with NPCs or making decisions. Because you don''t know what consequences your careless actions will bring.] The result of making each NPC, from a tramp wandering on the streets to a monarch who rules an empire, die equally regardless of the role and influence given to each NPC. Among the adventurers who enjoy Arcadia, enormous confusion, disputes, and conflicts have been created. [This crazy bastard...? Did you ruin the quest I''m in the middle of?] [Did I know that? He killed me for the quest too. Are you the only one doing the quest?] [Oh shit. What should I do if the former NPC dies?] [The NPC that gives the main scenario''s chained quest dies. What should I do?] [Eh... Where did a gamepany like this X really mess with user convenience? ?] Arcadia Co., Ltd. has a hot and reckless momentum that discards and deletes the main scenario when the NPC, which is the main link in the main scenario, dies. In such a situation, a number of users who saw the hot spicy taste could not hold back their anger and became a problem to the extent that the parties involved in a bloody revenge drama became a problem, and many users asked for improvement, but the gamepany''s answer was firm. [There is a way to revive dead NPCs in Arcadia. However, the method is extremely limited and very demanding, so it will only be possible in very special circumstances. Even in reality, the resurrection of the dead is like a miracle that transcends human ability. Therefore, in order to provide an excellent sense of reality to everyone who ys Arcadia, we will not n additional convenience patches rted to NPC resurrection . ) Arcadia''s official answer. However, those methods boasted extreme levels of difficulty that ordinary users could never even consider. And one of several such methods, the highest level of divine magic, Resurrection. Absolute divine magic that only the pope and saints could use, and a legendary miracle that had never been activated even once for thousands of years. Koo Goo Goo. But now. The miracle that no one in Eden had ever seen was taking ce. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nonsense how..... Eden waspletely ruined. However, those who somehow miraculously survived it looked at the scene unfolding in front of them with their own two eyes with a shocked look on their faces. Mighty and strong divine power pouring down from the high sky. And the eight-winged archangel standing in the center and rising into the air. Holding something green and unknown in one hand in the midst of a zing torch, he was clearly the great demon king who hadpletely annihted Eden until recently. The demon king''s seed... this kind of divine power...? If it''s an eight-winged angel... that''s definitely only one... That can''t be! How... how can someone who is not even the Pope take the glorious throne...! An iprehensible situation in which one cannot dare to understand, estimate, or anything with one''s own lowly knowledge. However, they had no choice but to keep their mouths shut as they watched the situation in front of them. [Resurrection.] Faaaaaaa. Intense brilliance that could blind one''s eyes. An unstoppable and fierce mortal power that seemed to destroy and purify all evil. And in between them, the life force that pulsates and overflows. A level of powerparable to that of a god, beyond themon sense and limitations of human beings. Those who couldn''t even control themselves in the torrents and waves of such tremendous power could not deny it even if they tried to deny it after seeing the scene in front of their eyes that had finally calmed down after a long time. What the hell is this...? I''m sure..... no, we were then..... The Holy Church is..... More than that, where is this...? Numerous people I see for the first time looking around with dumbfounded faces. Shabby clothes and unsightly appearance. Tired of hard farming and livelihood, they look soggy to the point of not being healthy, and at first nce, they look nothing more than rural vigers whose names are unknown. But Morse''s eyes, looking at them, began to tremble like mad. Uncle Kane..... He died in his arms, saying he was sorry until the end, bleeding in his arms. Uncle Pablo. Mrs. Hans..... Grandpa Deckard..... Uncle Pablo, who always jumps around and causes all sorts of idents. And the nagging Mrs. Hans. Although each of them had different ways and inclinations, the residents of Treji vige cherished and cared for themselves more than anyone else and epted them as one family. Seeing them all appear vividly, he met the eyes of a girl with blue hair. uh....? Brother Morse! Ruby, a 6-year-old girl who looks at herself and greets her with a very bright and innocent smile. Watching her run towards him with his arms wide open, Morse ran quickly as if he couldn''t stand it, and let out the resentment he had been holding in his heart. Ruby! In this way, the scarred revenge ghost who had been abandoned by losing precious people in both worlds disappeared. In a miracle that made what was thought impossible into reality. It''s about finding another precious family member you''ve lost. * * * Phew..... You really made a big deal out of it. Leaving behind Morse, who had a joyous reunion with the revived residents of Trezi Vige. Jae-young, who released the strong spirit, shed bloody tears as she watched the messages floating in front of her eyes. [Enchantment skill has ended.] [Calction of the duration and yer''s actions begins.] [Probability 219054321 consumed.] 2 200 million...? Even if you add up everything you''ve spent so far, the settlement is so staggering that it can''t bepared. Seeing this, Jaeyoung''s first feeling was embarrassment. No, how is this going? The probability I had was about 170 million? Even after restoring the Deathbringer, Jae-young had a huge probability of 170 million. However, he tilted his head at the amount of probability that easily exceeded that and the fact that his strong body was maintained, but he soon realized that there was an enormous amount of messages that he hadn''t checked yet. [Thousands of evil deeds. You killed Pope Amen, the deputy of Heaven and the apostle of God.] [All heavenly beings are astonished at your atrocities.] [The heavens are hostile to your existence and feel a sense of crisis.] [Mythical evil deeds. You have corrupt the Holy Land of the beginning and polluted its divinity.] [Everyone in the underworld admires and admires your feat.] . . . Jae-young, who destroyed Eden and killed the Pope with his own two hands. Each and every one of those actions was unusual and so enormous that it was hard to believe that it wasmitted by an individual, so the rewards were enormous. [Probability 150000000 acquired.] [Title Contradiction Evil'' acquired.] [Title Hero of the Demon World'' acquired] [Title Demon King of Humanity'' acquired] . . . With a probability of 150 million, the situation was full of vicious and threatening titles that were embarrassing to wear and carry around. Therefore, it was in a state where it had a probability of as much as 320 millionbined with the existing probability, so the strong body could be maintained. Hmm... so the remaining probability is about 120 million... Probability still remains at a more stable number than expected. However, he still grumbled with a slightly dissatisfied face as if he couldn''t understand it. Ah-oh. Still, whose dog name is the probability of 200 million? Really. hey! burnt. Did I tell you to use probability in moderation? Why are you wasting your probabilities to catch Gao? In the state where Tan or El descended directly, it was switched to spectator mode, and there were restrictions on using its power fully. However, because he was able to watch the whole situation in real time as if he were his own body, Jaeyoung was aware of how ineffective Tan''s fighting style was. What kind of absolute authority do you use indiscriminately like that? I told you not to kill chickens with a cow knife. Are you killing bedbugs with napalm? Not the Pope Amen, but the one who did not save his strength and projected his power to capture even a high priest or a holy knight. Because of that, he said that he thought that the consumption of probabilities had been blown up, but Tan protested as if he was unfair. hey! What do you do in such an urgent situation? They say we have to kill the pope before that apostle of deathes. And when you''re aiming for prey, you have to do everything you can, even if it''s a small pike. Thats the basic devil rule. He confidently shouts as if he has done nothing wrong. And rather, he pointed at L, who was standing still next to him, and exposed it. And as for me, I wrote it in moderation. That chicken eater ate half of it. I don''t know, but I must have eaten a lot. what....? Jaeyoung is momentarily at a loss for words. At Tan''s usation that L, who used only one resurrection magic, took the probability of 100 million, he looked at her nkly, asking if it was true. Dex-sama, maybe its because you dont know how absurd this situation is, but be thankful that it ended with 100 million. Thank you for being here...? What are you talking about....? Jaeyoung asks back with an expression of iprehension. Without a detailed exnation, L muttered as he looked at Jigsy Morse and the residents of Trezi Vige with an expression of disbelief. No matter how much resurrection magic I have... this level is impossible. Magic only possible when the pope, saints, and apostolic-level beings all gathered together and poured enormous divine power, and the body of a dead body that had not been dead for less than three days existed. Distorting thew of causality between life and death was not something that even the heavenlies could do so easily. A miracle that was manifested only in very limited circumstances, bound by extremely difficult conditions and restrictions. However, what Jaeyoung did now was an outrageous and extraordinary act that far exceeded the authority granted to him who borrowed the power of the spirit god. Even if the fruit of the world tree was used... at this level...'' Unlike Resurrection, the fruit of the world tree is one of the ways to revive the dead. Although the effect was amplified by using both at the same time, it was not even hermon sense to resurrect more than a hundred people so easily without a corpse. Then... the power he possesses is the cause...?'' Dex is the only human that can''t see through even himself. At that time, he was thinking deeply with aplicated expression on his face due to sudden worries about his true identity. Jaeyoung approached Morse, who seemed to have somewhat rxed. Are you satisfied now? Jae-young, who revived all the residents of Treji Vige as he wished. And at his question, Morse nodded with a smile on his face as if he had put everything down unlike before. okay. It''s separate from this deal, but as a service, I''ll even arrange a ce for you and the vigers to stay. You know I''m very good. The abandoned continent of Japan, where all users were forcibly suspended from service. Jaeyoung said with a confident face, recalling Kervenian''s rare neighborhood somewhere there. Adventurers and other NPCs. I''ll let you build and live in your little town that no one knows about. Then he held out his hand. Then, as promised...? Jaeyoung mumbles with strange eyes without finishing his words. After looking at him for a moment, Morse seemed to have made up his mind and, without hesitation, handed over the purple dagger with geometric patterns attached to his waist. Woo woo woo woo. and that moment. Violet power spread intensely in the sky above Eden. Morse, who gave up the status of an apostle by abandoning the sacred god, was stripped of all the powers and transcendental powers given to him, but his face did not show any regret. And Jae-young, who became the new owner of the dagger, checked the item status window. murmured with a smile more satisfied than ever. Thats the dogs advantage. Chapter 346 Chapter 346 [Arcadia Incident/ident Bulletin Board] Although this document was created less than two years ago, this bulletin board was filled with so many records that it was impossible to see the end even after scrolling the mouse dozens of times. and recent documentation records. [Case No. 2881. Kill The Pope.] This topic, which is the hottest issue on the Inte and is still being updated thousands of times a day, was being talked about in the media with enthusiastic responses. [Does it make sense to allow a single user to have the right to delete a character? I''m really amazed at what the intention was and how they couldpletely ignore and vite consumers'' rights in this way. ] A ss actionwsuit was filed. For a closer examination of the matter, an order has been issued to submit confidential data in the rted game as evidence, and many people are paying attention.] [ Choco Piejoa Even if you don''t want to have doubts about his identity, you can''t help but have it. How on earth can a user, who has certainly brought a lot of attention as a Elementalist, appear with the title of Demon King in this situation? Do you really think about bnce in this game?] [Stories continue toe and go that it is an unreasonable and excessive measure for all divine-type users'' powers to be reduced to a level close to half after the fall of Eden. No matter how much it is the effect of destroying a core and important area within the worldview in the game, even so, such a sudden change in this way produces great damage to many consumers...] It breaks the bones of all kinds of game-rted experts and critics . From the harsh and hot vicious words that hit, to the legal response of those who have been harmed by the character being deleted regardless of their will. Arcadia Co., Ltd. was beaten again from all sides and became the center of all kinds of topics, but President Lee Mi-yeon and Jack were breathing a sigh of relief without anyone knowing. Whew..... I expected it, but people''s reactions are more radical than I imagined. President Lee Mi-yeon, who just came from an emergency meeting rted to this situation. Even inside thepany, she expressed great concern about this situation, insisting that rollback or recovery should be done even now, and was exhausted from dealing with those who were frothing. [I''m sure..... But I don''t know if I should like that it ended like this...?] Jack muttered as he looked at her with pity. He, too, did not find it very interesting or pleasant to see the current situation in Arcadia, which is running out of control beyond what he could have imagined. Rather, the current situation, which cannot be predicted even in the future, is a very worrying situation. That''s why he murmured, chewing his nails as if in trouble. [Ellis has given up on predicting the scenario that will arise from this incident. It means that there are so many variables that it is impossible to even predict what will happen in the future.] Arcadia, a virtual world that changes and is finallypleted in the stories created by adventurers. However, the change and influence that adventurers suddenly appeared in a world already built andpleted by NPCs was not as great as expected. [Thank you. Thanks to you, our vigers will be able to farm more safely.] [Hoh..... You were thepetent adventurer who discovered the hidden conspiracy in our city.] [ Can you solve one of our kingdom''s troubles? Will there be one?] Generally, a single resident or a small vige.... No matter how unusual and special it is, it intervenes in or gets involved in an event that takes ce in a slightly prosperous city or kingdom, causing minor changes, but fundamentally already created and Those who did not have the strength and capacity to overturn the finished te. But..... in less than two years now, they have made so many changes. The racial unification of elves and dwarves. discovery of the new continent. Resurrection of the world tree and unification of the continents. The birth of magic engineering and the tragedy of the Shouen Empire. Resurrection of the Divine Vulcanus. . . . Events with strong potential and destructive power that will bring huge changes to the entire continent of Arcadia, which cannot be ignored. All of those incidents continued one after the other, returning in huge aftermath like a butterfly effect, eventually leading to a single ending. [The fall of Eden.] Eden, the capital of the Holy Empire Saint. A region that is the core base of the heavens, with strong military power and authority, and a heavy mission to protect and defend Arcadia. From the beginning, when Jack conceived and set up this ce, he expected it to y a central role in many situations, so seeing it fly away in vain like this, he too was feeling a lot of embarrassment. How... is there anything Jack or I can do about this situation? The two im unlimited freedom and infinite possibilities and have never directly intervened in anything that happens in Arcadia. However, I knew better than anyone that the current situation was not at the level where it could just be a joke, so I was seriously thinking about future follow-up measures. Personally, if I can take measures to restore or remedy the customers whose characters have been deleted, I would like to do it. Although deleting the character was unavoidable due to the setting of the game, it is true that it ispletely ourpany''s fault when looking at it legally. Illegal action thatpletely crosses the line. It was also a dispute in the United States, a country ofints andwsuits, so a ss actionwsuit was taking ce with an astronomical amount ofwsuit, so President Mi-yeon Lee was honest about this situation as much as possible. If we were to go into awsuit, we could hold out for as long as possible, but in the end we would have to lose and restore the character to its original state. Or spit out huge sums of money as damages. Even if you don''t see it, you can predict the future oue. But Jack shrugged his shoulders and shook his head at her words. [That''s... I also want to just do that, but in fact, this is a difficult situation even with my authority...] Yes...? Why? President Lee Mi-yeon, who has first-level management authority. She was almost the only person who could read all the information inside Arcadia, but even she had no authority to directly intervene in the game. There are only two people on this who have such authority. And one of them is Jack, whose face is projected on the monitor in front of him. [As the chief developer, this is something that can be dealt with originally, but he is deeply involved in this situation, so I can''t do it alone.] What is that...? President Lee Mi-yeon tries to say something with an expression of iprehension. But before she could say anything, Ellis interjected and began to exin why. [In the recent incidents in Eden, users who have received full immunity for unjust intervention are deeply involved. In addition, since the user''s job is linked to Arcadia''s core settings, prior to restoration measures, an agreement between the top decision makers must be preceded ording to the provisions of the existing agreement Code 000-2.] ....? President Lee Mi-yeon opened her eyes wide and tilted her head as if asking what that meant. Seeing her like that, Jack sighed and continued to exin further. [That''s it.....] Code 000. The moment when Arcadia was born and Alice, once a simple facility management AI, was transformed into an AI with transcendental abilities and was reborn. Jack, the chief developer, and Min-soo Kim, the chief manager, made several agreements with each other and put the issues into Alice''s system core first. And it came back as shackles and now tied all of their feet together. So... you mean we need mutual agreement when intervening in matters that could bring significant changes to this Arcadia? [Yes.] Thus, since the job of student Jaeyoung, who stands at the center of this work, corresponds to the core setting that Minsu nned and created himself, we must seek his consent first. [That''s right.] Chief developer Jack. And top manager Kim Min-soo. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of Arcadia, put on a dumbfounded look at the fact that all of the current problems in Arcadia could be solved only if these two people, who had apletely equal 50% stake in this virtual world, agreed. Ha..... What kind of situation is this..... CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered in a voice mixed with annoyance at the situation that was moreplicated than expected. And Jack asked her with an embarrassed expression. [What should I do? Shall we contact him and ask him to agree to settle the situation?] The key to a simple solution to this situation is Kim Min-soo. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon could not easilye up with an answer to Jack''s question. [Even if grace is forgotten, revenge is multiplied 100 times. I shove a huge and bulky candy into the mouth of the person who fucked me. This is my life theory?] [Is Japan taking regtory action against Arcadia? So just what we''re going to do to stop the service first. I don''t like them because they tried to kidnap me two years ago.] [It''s annoying when the price of an apartment goes up and they make a fuss. Shall we just build a super-gigantic underground city that can amodate 10 million people and turn everything into an X? If you do that, everyone''s expression will be worth seeing.] [Ah... I''m bored. Isn''t there something fun?] A rare bad boy who is happy to cause great confusion and turmoil in the world with an innocent face. He is an ingenious man who must thoroughly and viciously retaliate against anyone who touches him in an extraordinary way. Even Satan, who does not hesitate to do anything just for the sake of fun and far transcends other people''s ordinary moral concepts, is also a budding bastard with the personality to cry. Kim Min Soo. In Arcadia, unlike Jack, who is called the creator and father, the fact that he asks for help from him, who is in seclusion under the setting of Asura, the owner of the ck mist and the god of destruction, was not a decision that could be made easily. [Be afraid, mortals. The owner of the ck Mist is just not interested in Arcadia. Are you hiding somewhere in the void? The moment Asura sets her eyes on this Arcadia again, the true end wille to the world.] As Vulcanus warned all users, making Minsu turn his attention to this world of virtual reality is not such a big deal. It wasn''t. He would do any crazy thing for fun without blinking an eye. Since it was impossible to set a huge fire in the house that would burn down three houses just to catch a bed bug, CEO Lee Mi-yeon sighed and shook her head at the end after serious consideration. Just... lets just leave it like this for now. So, President Lee Mi-yeon decided to endure the anger of users who are roaring around the world and to be consistent with no response. For the true peace and protection of this Arcadia. I decided to take all the sins and pain alone. Chapter 347 Chapter 347 Self-Rationalization [Next news. Recently, the character of users who enjoyed ying in Arcadia, a virtual reality game, was suddenly deleted, causing a great controversy. Arcadia Co., Ltd. is consistent in saying that it is checking the matter internally and has not responded, but it is known that only 82,319 ounts of reported damage have had their characterspletely deleted, and the controversy is unlikely to subside easily. .] [Killing the Pope.... It is known that the Vatican delivered an unusual message of concern to Arcadia Co., Ltd. about a major incident that took ce in a game called Kill the Pope''. The downfall of the Holy Empire Saint, who has an image reminiscent of the Vatican and the Pope, is regarded as intentional sphemy towards the whole of Christianity, and the pope and leadership are reported to have been greatly enraged. Lost.] [If you see how many people in reality react to various issues in virtual reality, now Arcadia has too much influence and ripple power to pass over just because it is a game that takes ce in virtual reality. Therefore, it is urgent to have a deep self-reflection on the foolish executives who respond insensitively to these sensitive issues, and it seems necessary to recruit a CEO who can approach numerous moral issues with delicate sensitivity. ] reports about it. It was not a rice cake that would fade easily because the matter had gone beyond the general category for a long time, but while they persisted in inaction, the me did not calm down, but as time passed, the size increased like crazy. Hmm... So are you saying that the US government is a bit reluctant to actively intervene in this matter? Alex, Executive Vice President and Acting President of Arcadia Co., Ltd., flew all the way to Korea from Washington DC to discuss this issue. In charge of the role of a messenger mediatingmunication and cooperation with the US government, he spoke in a diffident tone as he talked about what he had received from the White House. That''s right. It''s nothing else, but it''s a matter directly rted to religion, so public opinion in the United States is unusual. The fact that most of the victims whose characters were deleted was also concentrated in North America cannot be ignored. The United States is the most liberal and open country than any other country, but Catholicism and Christianity dominate the upper ss of society as popr religions. That''s why it was one of the countries that reacted most sensitively about this situation. The Democratic Party is arguing that a hearing on this would be a good opportunity to establish new regtions for the virtual reality industry, and arge-scale due diligence and intensive investigation at the National Assembly level, and the Republican Party is also showing signs of sympathy. Even on the Republican side...? Pearson''s political party, the Republican Party. Lee Mi-yeon, president of Arcadia, opened her eyes wide in surprise when she heard that even among those who were more friendly and cooperative towards virtual reality than anyone else, public opinion against Arcadia was emerging. Because it is a group with more traditional and conservative religious beliefs than anyone else. I know it is a matter of putting a knife on the same side, but it seems that there are several people who are in an unavoidable situation depending on their personal beliefs or the public sentiment of voters in the constituency. Kill The Pope. This case, which is being called by an incredibly stimting and violent name, no matter who sees it. And to superficially organize the recent incident, I don''t know who wrote it, but the title was very appropriate. [An evil demon appeared in the holynd of Eden, the heart of the Holy Church, and brutally ughtered all believers and saints, including the Pope.] A devout and conservative Christian and Catholic believer would have a seizure with foam at the mouth. detail. That''s why even people who had no particr interest in Arcadia or who usually viewed it with a friendly view were so angry that they couldn''t defend it. -It is the seconding of Satan! Virtual reality is a wicked scheme created by demons! -What the hell is a government doing that tolerates such sphemous sphemy! - Such fiendish things! The Lord will give you a just judgment! devil. devil. Satan. Seeds of evil..... Religious groups began to criticize Arcadia and virtual reality byparing them to all kinds of sphemous and evil things. An unprecedented situation in which numerous religious groups, divided into dozens and hundreds, unite and criticize apany and a game by directly mentioning the issue even to the Holy See. That''s why Alex raised his hands and shook his head as if he had gone beyond what he could handle. Anyway, judging from the current public opinion and atmosphere in the United States, it doesn''t seem like a problem that can be passed over implicitly, Mr. President. Does that mean... that we should at least surrender the white g? If possible, it should be. First of all, it seems to be the best way to distribute thepany''s official apology, donate huge amounts of money to Christian and Catholic organizations, and take measures so that users who have entered into a ss actionwsuit cane to an amicable agreement and withdraw theirints. Not anywhere else, but in the United States, which supports the foundation of the virtual reality industry, including Arcadia, the situation is sharpening multiple des with a lot of poison. So, Alex was devising various ns toe up with an amicable response to this situation, but President Lee Mi-yeon told him as if he was in trouble. Um... Im sorry, but I think that would be difficult. yes....? I already asked Ellis about recovery of the deleted character, but I got an answer saying it would be difficult. These are measures implemented ording to the settings in the game, and it is impossible to add benefits or self-rescue measures to the sacred sses that have been weakened by the fall of Eden. unlimited freedom. infinite possibilities. All of this is the result of stories created and written by users. That''s why Ellis refused any further patches. Even in spite of the request of Jack, who is the creator and has the authority of the top developer. There is nothing as meaningless as an apology without action. It doesn''t seem like it''s a problem that can be solved by simply covering one''s mouth with money..... The board of directors also thought that lowering the tail on our side would not only have more side effects, but also set a very bad precedent, so Alex talked about I am skeptical about the n. yes....? Then how... Alex looked puzzled as if asking what to do then. But CEO Lee Mi-yeon shook her hand and muttered to him not to worry too much. Do not worry too much. Instead, I had other options in mind. What is this...? Alex nced at President Lee Mi-yeon, who handed over a thick stack of documents, and then opened the documents. And when he saw the document containingpletely unexpected information, his eyes widened. Is this.... is it okay to disclose it to the public like this? Bundles of paperwork full of sensitive personal information. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon calmly nodded and replied. Consultations with the parties have already beenpleted. Moreover, since it has already beenpletely closed, there is no threat of further problems even if it is disclosed. A situation that cannot be resolved by the usual inaction or concealment of information. Therefore, President Lee Mi-yeon decided to deal with this problem with a head-on breakthrough this time in an unprecedented and bold way. Dont worry, I will take care of the situation in other countries, including Korea. Alex, just pay attention to public opinion in America. Can I trust you to do well? * * * The Lincoln Memorial, a world-famousndmark located in Washington, DC, the capital of the United States. A press conference to announce the official position of Arcadia Co., Ltd. announced at this ce, which is a sacred ce for numerous human rights movements and where many rallies and demonstrations are held. Even though it was not a presidential speech or an inauguration ceremony, the entire region was crowded with people and reporters from all over the United States to see the press conference in person. Boo! Satan''spany! Get away immediately! die! Profane children of the devil! Fierce protests from outraged religious groups and locals out of pure curiosity. In addition, Alex murmured in exasperation as he watched the expansive memorial filled with onlookers from all over the United States. Ha..... I can''t believe I''m making such an important announcement at a ce where so many people have gathered... A ce where hundreds of thousands of people gathered. It was also a ce where a bunch of angry crowds were mixed, so it was a dangerous ce where bloodshed might happen if you identally touched the wrongs of these people in an instant, and Alex''s tension gradually increased. However, Alex is a person who has risen to the position of general vice president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., a world-ss megapany, only with his own skills. So, the tension was just unfounded. Alex had a reputation as a talker from the beginning. When he stood in front of hundreds of thousands of people, he started running wild like a fish out of water. [The recent huge disaster in Arcadia started with humans who lost all their precious family members. I can''t reveal the exact identity, but the user named Morse...] [The Holy Cross Guild brutally murdered and burned all the residents of a vige to hide the sealed sanctuary they found while proceeding with the quest of the Holy Empire. And.....] Information in the game that no one can clearly grasp. Opening up all of that, Alex began to clearly tell everyone about the causal rtionship that caused all of this to happen. and. Everyone listened in silence to Alex''s words. Everyone clicked their tongues in pity at Lucas'' story that was so harsh and strange. He was enraged at the inhuman, cruel, and ugly atrocities of the Holy Cross. Then, he shut his mouth on the Holy Empire''s blind decisions and twisted hypocrisy. [We are very well aware of the many tragedies that ur due to irrational burial in the ideology and faith of religion in the long historical facts, and the despair of the victims who were caught up in such tragedies. Morse is also a victim of blind and uncritical religious harm.] The bloody tragedies that took ce in the long history under the name of religion. Referring to all the ugly and heartless evil deeds that were contradictory, hypocritical, and twisted by the rulers, he asked everyone back. [Virtual reality is obviously not real. However, do the guild members of Holy Cross who mercilessly murder and massacre NPCs for fun or for their own personal gain, disregarding life for that reason, really have desirable morality?] Are they really worthy of defending the damage they have suffered ? The essential question of whether they are beings with value. And then he asked again. [Are the Saint Empire and Pope Amen beings who can be identified with the real Vatican and the Pope who practice the ideology of love and mercy, and with the countless saints of the United States, Protestantism, and Catholicism that respect and embrace all diversity?] Game I wonder if the ce called the Holy Empire in the inside is really a ce worth looking at by projecting it into reality. ..... The public was silent at Alexs question. And looking at them like that, Alex finished his speech. [Choco Paizoa, who destroyed the twisted and contradictory Holy Empire and helped avenge an individual who was frustrated and frustrated by them, is the true judge who embodies God''s Justice.] Chapter 348 Chapter 348 Shouldn''t have done that Arcadia Controversy over religious disparagement simmered in North America. However, it quickly lost its power andpletely faded away due to Alex''s splendid and brilliant speech. - (Note) Arcadia Holy Empire is a group of fanatics. It has nothing to do with any particr religion in reality. - The ugly reality behind the mask of the Holy Cross Guild. What is the whole story of their genocide? -Humanity and morality buried in virtual reality. A painful condemnation of those who disrespect even life. -The public reacts violently to the events that took ce in the virtual world. Arcadia''s terrifying immersion. Follow-up articles rted to his speech began to pour in, and people''s perception of this incident began to change little by little. [Those who have looked at the history of the Saint Empire for a little bit will be able to understand how vicious, ugly and hypocritical the Saint Empire is. It is easy to find records of the massacre of all those presumed to be heretics stained with monotheistic ideology, and if you look at the situations that took ce in the main scenario, aka witch hunt, that took ce in the Korean continent in the past...] [A recent incident in Arcadia in the Vatican I have withdrawn everything I said about it. It is a misunderstanding caused by the simrity of the basic setting with the country of Saint Empire in the game, and it has been confirmed that it is a virtual existencepletely different from the values and beliefs pursued by Catholic saints. A personal story about a user named Morse, who gained notoriety as the Apostle of Death, has been revealed, much to the public''s dismay. This young man, whose identity is unknown, is known to have lost all his family overnight in an ident of injustice and became more immersed in virtual reality games to soothe his grief. His sudden transformation into a cold-blooded vengeful ghost was revealed to be the decisive cause of the Holy Cross, which recently started awsuit against Arcadia, causing great outrage...] The Saint Empire is a group of mad fanaticspletely unrted to reality . Religious groups who have nothing to say about denigration. In addition, as the vicious atrocities of the Holy Cross Guild and the unfortunate story of a human who lost precious people due to them were revealed, public opinion was rapidly reversed. -That user named Morse was in a very unfortunate situation..... -So. I was barely trying to soothe the sadness of losing my family in real life, even in virtual reality, but it was so merciless..... - Holy Cross Guild Even if it''s ruined, it''s cheap. -If you see himmitting such vicious acts and going to court, he must be seen as having no conscience. -Are you without conscience? Maybe Satan would go out of his way to say he would lose his job while watching those kids? Numerous sympathetic public opinion in favor of Morse and those who criticize and criticize the hypocrisy of the Holy Cross. That''s when the anger and hatred towards Arcadia fades and people''s attention goes elsewhere. A well-known social critic started to praise Arcadia Co., Ltd. [I personally think that the level of Arcadia is too high to be evaluated as a normal game. When considering recent events. I could feel that Arcadia Co., Ltd. wants to deliver a message to the whole of humanity and give lessons through various methods. Haven''t we experienced how many tragedies and disasters blind ideology and faith have created in the countless history of mankind? I think Arcadia has provided us with an opportunity to experience, at least indirectly, without filtering, through this incident how much tragedy and frustration a uniform and uncritical society brings to one individual or a few people. ] anger of those who started it. When the dangerous atmosphere, which seemed like a riot, was reversed in an instant and became quiet, the North American branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. began to quickly regain stability, but unfortunately, in Korea, it was the exact opposite. -Religion, Nabal, I don''t know about that. So, Choco Pie Joe, what the hell is this bastard? -He''s a spirit king summoner, but he''s even a demon king carrying a demon sword? Isn''t this honestly over the line? -LOL. I assure you, Choco Pie Joe, that bastard is definitely an employee inside thepany. Otherwise, it doesn''t make sense that shit like this could happen. -Really. Does it make sense to win overwhelmingly in a die-hard match with the hell-changing Pope? -Morse, the apostle of death also yed with him. - Alone the Holy Empire..... And destroy all of Eden? Eba samchi tuna saury. People who have little interest in the subject of sphemy or religious insults or insults. That''s why they didn''t have much interest in the symbolism of the Holy Empire, and they were more interested in the person who was at the center of this situation. The Spirit King Summoner and possessor of an ugly personality that cannot be regenerated. Choco Pie Joa, a rare sprouting gourd. He was obviously famous for ying as an elemental sage. But one morning, he suddenly appeared with a demonic sword and defeated all the strongmen of Eden, including the Pope. - Yesterday was the Elementalist, today is the Demon King? What is the true identity of Choco Paijoa? -A very abnormal user, Choco Piezoa. Who is he at the center of the controversy? -Shock! The true identity of Choco Paijoa. sole press. At that time, all kinds of spective articles about fishing are pouring in and stories about Choco Piezoa are going around like crazy. Jo Seo-wook, CEO of iPlus Co., Ltd., which has been reborn as a superrge MCNpany, was making a difficult expression as he answered the phone with tears in his eyes. [CEO, how do I do? Because of that bastard, the image I had built up with so much effort waspletely destroyed.] The real Choco Piejoa who was ying as a hidden ss Will of Nature. In order to change the image created by the impersonator who disguised himself as him,mitting all sorts of evil deeds and turning himself into trash, he has been putting in painstaking efforts by uploading streaming broadcasts and all kinds of video content. However, as if to ridicule his efforts, the unknown impersonator mercilessly destroyed the tower that Choco Paijoa had built overnight. [People are making all sorts of fuss about exining what the situation is. How do I exin this? No, more than that, what the hell is that bastard capable of doing such nonsense? Yes?] I see... Im not in a situation where Ive heard the story clearly yet, so I dont know what to say. I didnt even give any special exnation to thepany or provide a video. Comments running, demanding rification, with such frightening momentum that I couldn''t even think of turning on the broadcast. However, since Choco Piejoana and CEO Seo-wook Cho knew nothing about this situation, all they could do was just look at the roaring public opinion. [It''s not something that can be passed on like that, CEO. Do you know how many death threats are running right now? If this happens and my identity is stolen, I''m really going to die?] A patch that urred due to the fall of Eden. Due to the effect of reducing the power of all divine skills by as much as 40%, people''s antipathy toward Choco Paizoa reached an iparable extent to the previous one. - This XXXXX and XXXXX do XXXXXX same XXXXXX bastards. Be careful when walking at night in the future. I will do everything I can to find you and make you pay for this. -lol. Choco Pie..... Doesn''t reality seem like a joke? Even if you regret it, it''s already toote - I will look for you I will find you. And I will kill you. -ɱ ɱ ɱ ɱ ɱ. -ԧէ ӧ է? -Rache nehmen Warten. Intense curse words and threats that are hard to dare to say in all kinds of unknown foreignnguages and Korean. He truly felt the threat to his life in his own situation, which had been branded as rare garbage formitting an atrocity that could never be forgiven by all divine users. And in response to his reaction, CEO Jo Seo-wook asked with a curious look. Have you ever revealed that you are Choco Piezoa in front of your acquaintances or other people? One day, CEO Jo Seo-wook was suddenly introduced by Jae-young and signed a contract with the real Choco Pie Joa. He knew better than anyone else that the reason why he forced him to recruit him unreasonably, even offering a down payment of billions, was to use it as a meat shield in this situation. It was strict security. And, fortunately, he followed that warning thoroughly. [no. Before signing the contract, there were times when Imented to friends around me that I would drink and go around because of an impersonator, but it hasn''t happened since signing the contract. Everyone will know that I''m done with the game.] If that''s the case, I''m d. Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s ability to manage personal information is absolute, so you don''t have to worry about external leakage. Unless you go out and show off your identity. If you haven''t really talked about it anywhere, you don''t have to worry about being harmed in real life. [I... Really?] Yes. sure Do not worry too much. CEO Jo Seo-wook nodded with a confident face. I don''t know about others, but I was very aware of how strict personal information is managed at Arcadia Co., Ltd. [Could you find out the contact information of the users Dex and Choco Piezoa?] Myung-Han Kwon, the general manager of Arcadia''s Korean branch. One day, CEO Cho Seo-wook said, recalling the memory of being very embarrassed because he begged for his contact information over the phone and almost begged. You may not know it, but even the managementpany cannot read users personal information. Previously, an executive at the executive director level quietly approached me, asking to know Choco Paijoa''s personal contact information. It''s such tight security, so don''t worry too much. And since no one other than me knows the personal information of the two subordinates, there will be no leakage from thepany side. [If that''s the case... I feel a little relieved...] Choco Pie Joa catches his breath when he hears that no one knows his identity except the representative himself. But soon, as if another matter of concern came to mind, he muttered as if he was troubled. [But how the heck do you fix this? Shouldn''t there be an exnation broadcast?] Everyday life of Arcadia''s official channel destroyer. Comments demanding rification ran like crazy on that channel. There were several signs of the situation getting worse to be left unattended, so it was necessary to calm this public opinion somehow, but it was obvious that the situation would only get worse if we lied clumsily and made up stories. It is a situation of dilemma that can be left alone, but it is impossible to deal with it with your hands. CEO Jo Seo-wook also shut his mouth and thought about Choco Piejoa''s worries, and then sighed deeply and chose the worst number that he should never have chosen. That''s... I''ll contact the people involved in this situation and ask them to resolve it. Chapter 349 Chapter 349: If you twist it, you''ll have a fight. Jae-young enjoys azy Sunday afternoon without essing the game for the first time in a while. However, he had no choice but to wake up to the sudden phone call from CEO Seo-wook Cho. Hmm... So you''re asking me to stand in front of people and do an exnation broadcast instead? [yes. First of all, the real Choco Paijoa can''t give specific answers to people''s questions. If I had to do it, I would just repeat what I said at Arcadia like a parrot. However, if I respondcently like that, I think the aftermath will only grow bigger. ] An event on a scale that is too big for you to think about. There were too many people who had been harmed to just ignore it, so Jaeyoung suddenly remembered Choco Piejoa, who must have been in an embarrassing situation. A face full of regret. From the first time we met, he was impersonated without knowing anything and tears welled up. As the strangely guilty and sympathetic image passed through his mind, Jaeyoung smiled and epted the request coolly. I will. [yes? Can you really do that?] Sure. Actually, there are things like that because there is no one who can give a proper answer other than me, but... Isn''t it a situation where even the CEO is not in trouble if you give me the final touches? [That''s true, but.....] I can''t say that thepany is on the verge of bing X, so Seo-wook Cho blurs out his words. Jaeyoung asked him in a nonchnt voice. So... what can I do for you? Can I just take a video of what happened and upload it? An exnation video is a simple thing that you can just sit down and talk to yourself about. It wasn''t that difficult, so it was Jae-young who wanted to skip it, but CEO Jo Seo-wook had a slightly different idea. [no! Rather than that, I would like to proceed with a real-time Q&A method.] Real-time Q&A...? [yes. Reading the chats of subscribers or viewers and answering raw questions will help to resolve as many questions and controversies as possible, and also instill awareness that you are activelymunicating with people, which will help improve your image. ] in a slightly more troublesome way than he thought. However, it was not at a level that he could not ept at all, so Jaeyoung nodded his head thinking that he would cooperate as much as possible. Well... if you really want to do that, that''s fine. I will. [thank you! Then, if you tell us a convenient day, we will set up a schedule and proceed.....] CEO Seowook Cho is trying to discuss a specific schedule for Q&A. However, Jaeyoung scratched his stomach at his words and nced at the calendar on the wall. Are you still good? [Yes...?] If you just log in and turn on the broadcast, won''t subscriberse live right away? Since you said you''re still burning with rice cakes, why don''t you take out the horns at once and just do it now? Jaeyoung''s insane momentum to do it now while the words came out. However, at his words, CEO Cho Seo-wook said with a rather embarrassed expression. [Ha, but I have to pick up some expected questions and discuss roughly what to do with the answers, so it''s impossible right now...] CEO Seo-wook Cho wants to finish this job smoothly somehow. However, Jaeyoung muttered with a mischievous expression, as if he had no intention of doing that at all. why? Isnt it okay to just answer what happened anyway? [.....] * * * Proud Daehan and army sergeant Mangi discharged from the army. Lee Chan-hee, a 25-year-old returning student. In reality, he was a normal, uncharacteristic college student with a calm and easygoing personality, but in virtual reality Arcadia, he had a reputation that everyone did not know. Although, of course, that reputation was a very heinous level of notoriety. Haa..... Not long after starting the game, Chani was tormented every day by an unknown impersonator who wasmitting all sorts of evil acts in her guise somewhere. However, those painful times, which always seemed to continue, eventually paid off. [wee. In the future, this continent will be overthrown... that no one will dare to ignore, bing the real Choco Piezoa'', the strongest and worst sprout in history.] Hidden ss Nature''s will. Crown of Life, the sacred tree of the world. Billions of won received from the contract with iPlus. In addition, the event reward title of 3x all EXP for 3 months. Choco Pie Joa epted the things that no one dared to refuse as a package set. At the time, I wondered about the absurdly good terms, but now I can understand why he seduced me so much. To cover all of this upside down? alone....? Although he knew his intention to put himself in the forefront as a meat shield in the first ce, he was a damn impersonator who went about doing more things than he could have imagined. Choco Paijoa sincerely regretted his choice in the past because his evil deeds, which spread all over the world in real time and caused all sorts of topics, had such a ripple effect that even the Pope came forward and condemned them. [From now on, I will serve you as my older brother. Impersonate yourself as much as you like.] Choco Piezoa fell to her knees after seeing a mythical item. But it was only now that he could realize that the exchange rate of his trade had tilted so much against him. I heard that bears are more talented than bears and people take money..... This is like getting cursed at and eating something... Unknown people who pray and pray for longevity and peace in the family, and even the well-being of their children yet to be born. Seeing the spicy and hot carpet-bombing posts of these people who are still uploading on Arfandia, Chani was constantly disturbed. And he found a live streaming video. [Choco Piejoa''s exnation video] Uh...? Thumbnails with your face sticking out even though you didn''t even log in. As soon as he saw it, Chani, who noticed the situation, pressed the video urgently, and soon after, he could see himself unraveling rumors with an arrogant and shameless attitude. [So I''m sorry about the fall of the Holy Empire, but it couldn''t be helped? Then, should I let the original death or Nabal resurrect? If that were the case, you and I, and all of us, one-coin ephemera would be life-threatening, but would this game survive if it turned into such a shitty game?] [Can''t a gamepany make a patch like that? I guess you guys still haven''t figured out how crazy these operators are? I assure you, thispany will do worse than that, dozens and hundreds of times more. This time, because of the quest I was doing recently, I obtained the rted information in advance and blocked it. Do you know?] An impersonator who mentions an issue announced by Arcadia Co., Ltd. and says that it was an inevitable choice for the happiness of the majority. However, he aroused the anger of viewers by consistently maintaining an attitude without any feelings of sorry. -That''s a delusion in your brain. How can the gamepany be sure that this is true? -So, how are you going to take responsibility for the fact that all the divine users are dead? -But this bastard has been talking nonsense since before and ispletely unlucky. So what did you do well? -Was that really the best? uh? Did you have to kill everyone, even the Pope? You damn bastard! -Ha..... I was really going to just say nothing and move on, but hey, this rude XXXX. A chat window where all sorts of swear words are pouring in quickly. No matter how much they say they did it for a greater cause, the video contains an exnation that is no different from dancing in front of people who are devastated because their base is burned down. Chani opened her mouth as she watched the impersonator''s action of putting firewood in order to burn more instead of dispelling the original controversy. Oh my god... Damn it... [Anyway, even if you guys whine, its already happened and theres no way to reverse it, so give up. If you''re really dissatisfied, shouldn''t you just get rid of the priest and be a wizard or a knight? I don''t know why you''re so obsessed with the divine line. If you don''t like it, ask Arcadia instead of me. Talking about the infinite freedom and infinite possibilities , you should me the person whoid the board. Is it wrong to dance with a sword or a fan on top of it? He looked at the chat window with an annoyed expression and said. [And... To be honest, I think the only ones who are dissatisfied with this situation are you, the divine type. There are probably a lot of kids who like it a lot while watching you fucked up? They say the Maroon Kingdom is in a very festive mood these days?] After the witch hunt, the Maroon Kingdom turned into a dark kingdom. Under the rule of the ck me Dragon of Darkness, the conductor of death, numerous dark-type users gathered and formed a huge power. In this ce, in the temporary peace created, you should be afraid of being invaded again by the Saint Empire and holy-type users. only did But... Now that Eden, the core sanctuary of the divine line, has copsed and even the Pope has lost his life. Dark users were literally in a crucible of joy. -oh! yes! Shoot the Zealot!!!!! - Hahahaha Bloody Tears Jam for Shin Seong-series users. -Mmmmmmmmmmm 40% reduction. Did you go to hell? Are you no longer against us? - Wow. Warlock''s coin went bad..... -Your coin didn''t go bad, it was the priest''s coin. - Now that this has happened, can''t we eat the Holy Empire? -It''s just me!!!!!! -? ??? It is a honey jam honey jam to make fun of the arrogant priest Sherry. Other people''s misfortune is my happiness. Those who are ridiculed and humiliated by all sorts of users who are not rted to the divine system, as well as by the users of the dark system, the enemy of the crippled world. Jaeyoung confidently said while examining all the chats that criticized him and the chats that were friendly and supportive towards him. [Anyway... In conclusion, I made a choice that I couldn''t help but vomit blood for this Arcadia, so stop asking questions rted to this matter every time you turn on the broadcast. It can''t be helped that the holy-type users have blood, but... what can I do? You have to endure with the evil of your chosen upation.] Choco Pie Joa muttered mockingly at them with a smirking smile. Looking at him making remarks that he would never say in a situation like this that he would never say in a situation like this, Chan-hee eximed with a stunned look on his face. ?.... ?.... ???? ??? ???! He asked me to film an exnation video, and he almost made a video of humiliation. In front of the users who reacted hotly to his remarks like gems without any other line, the impersonator felt that the situation was not going the way he thought. That''s...? A dagger engraved with geometric patterns that radiate purple light. Choco Paijoa, holding the weapon held by the Apostle of Death, which had already been revealed to users through numerous videos, muttered with a very strange smile. [Do you know how that guy named Morse was able to delete other people''s characters?] Mythical grade item A sigh of despair. Although he does not have the qualifications to be an apostle, he can exhaust his probabilities and forcibly manifest his mortal power, so Jaeyoung grabbed a dagger that emits a very ominous purple energy and said. [Still, if you twist it like that,e and have a look with me. I''ll tell you how I deleted it myself.] Chapter 350 Chapter 350 Arcadia, a vast sizeparable to the entire preparation district. Hundreds and thousands of kingdoms and empiresrge and small. And this virtual world, full of diverse climates and unique natural environments, boasted such a vast scale that it would take decades to explore all of them. And the transcendent beings that support such a huge continent. The World Tree, the mother of all things, governs all life, the earth, and abundance. Born with the divinity of Gaia and in charge of all channeling between the spirit world and the fantasy world, she was the only one whose main body belonged to this Arcadia and had enormous influence and ripple power enough to be called Arcadia itself. [The roots of the World Tree are huge enough to support the entire continent of Arcadia, exceeding humanmon sense. All the grass and trees rooted in Arcadia are ced under the contemtion of the world tree, and all things can enjoy abundance and live in this world. ] Elves and forest fairies such as Dryad Ents. And the world tree that has absolutemand and dominion over beasts such as werewolves and giants. She pondered with a serious face about the recent events in the Garden of Life, her own realm and the holynd of the absolute elves. Eden was destroyed, and the death of the beginning failed to revive the divinity... Death, who was the first child of his father and had the most powerful power. A world tree that has fully restored the influence of its roots that spread throughout this continent. After that, she took in vast amounts of information in real time, contemting everything that was happening all over the continent in real time through countless grasses and trees across the continent. Divine power Indramang (_W). Although it is different from the pioneering n of thew of causation, through this authority that grants the power of omniscience in a simr way, she clearly confirmed the fate that was definitely decided in Eden, the holynd on this continent. A terrible tragedy in an unknown vige and the despair and anger of an adventurer. And even the death of the beginning that smelled of that revenge. A banquet of the butterfly effect in which one trivial incident turns into a huge storm that no one can stop with numerous chain effects. Contemting all of that, the World Tree clearly saw the future that was about to happen. The downfall of the brilliant Eden that seemed tost forever. The death of the beginning and the resurrection of the underworld. By the way... are you saying that wisdom ispletely out of whack? The future foreknowledge that has never gone wrong so far. As an oracle to the elves and a highly trusted person who boasts of absolute trust, his own predictions went wrong, and even the world tree could not easily believe in the current situation. God knows everything. It is an absolute divinity and the result derived through transcendent cognition by synthesizing all information. The first feeling that Gye-soo felt when he saw that he had created apletely different situation by abruptly twisting a fixed fate that no variable or strong person dared to twist was embarrassment. I knew it wasn''t an ordinary existence... but to make the Apostle of Death give up his mission like this. Even using the fruit I gave you. The fruit of the World Tree given to him in return for waking himself up. It is a fruit that contains powerful vitality that can bring the dead back to life, and a sacred spirit that is like the essence of its own divinity. Even dragons with all kinds of valuables drool and coveted, boasting of immense value and rarity, and using the best magic material to save only a few humans, the boldness of it was close to madness even to her. Well... but if you took the original Death Sacrifice, is it supposed to be a surplus business...? Beyond giving up his mission and preventing the death of the beginning from being resurrected, the existence of Dex, who obtained a sacred weapon that is the source of his mortal power. In all these events, the World Tree, who felt and contemted his existence more strongly than anyone else, exerted the most powerful influence and twisted all the destinies, smiled meaningfully with his green eyes sparkling. As expected... He was more fun than I expected. He awakened himself from eternal sleep and saved the heart of an ancient dragon-ss dragon that he never expected at all, even going to another continent with his own strength. Looking at the existence of Dex, who was doing all sorts of bizarre entricities thatpletely deviated from themon sense ofmon adventurers she understood, she thought. Perhaps that could prevent the fate that was decidedly set in Arcadia. The World Tree... The World Tree was lost in thought. She turned her head to the sound of a voice calling her from somewhere. Ah... you''re here, my child. The World Tree, which has the appearance of a young girl, exudes a very lofty and noble dignity, and wees guests whoe to it with an elegant figure. Melissa, the leader of the elves and the queen of the noble lineage of the elves who rules the green leaf n, looks at her with respect. She looked at the world tree with curious eyes and asked. Why are you looking like this today? She usually rests quietly in the form of a giant tree. But now, the world tree greeted him with apletely different atmosphere and smiled strangely. And she answered Melissa''s question with a calm nod. Sometimes you have to talk to the other person at eye level. Although I understand your hearts and minds, there are times when I have to make you understand my will and will. What do you mean by that...? Recently, I saw an ominous future. ...? Melissa tilted her head with her eyes asking what it was. And her face turned white at the words of the World Tree that followed. A great disaster will befall this Arcadia. Encroaching on the entire continent... A terrible and cruel storm of destruction that can neither be prevented nor escaped. After the Age of Myth was revealed to everyone. Numerous threatening elements that were activated in series due to the butterfly effect. Sensing the signs and harbingers of the cataclysms of the so-called second half crisis across the continent, the World Tree dered the future he had glimpsed in a calm and serene tone. And in that cmity this Arcadia will perish. A definite destruction that no one can avoid, not even the world tree with the transcendent deity that is true to its name and the dragon that has the strongest view of the world that protects Arcadia. Melissa''s face hardened at her deration, almost like announcing the end of the world, but the world tree remained calm. But dont worry too much, my child. Even in a crisis like a dead-end cliff, hope always sprouts. Even if the endes, we must nt another apple tree. No matter how definite fate is, it''s up to you to ovee and change it. It is the fate of mortals who are not bound by the fetters of mission. That word... Melissa is delighted with the words of the World Tree, who speaks as if there is another breakthrough. To her, the World Tree shook her head as if she didn''t know yet. Don''t give up. Don''t get frustrated. Changing destiny and writing a new future are the privileges and powers given to you, and the father''s blessing given to all who live on this continent. Twist that tragic ending with your own strength. ..... A veryplex and iprehensible story. However, seeing Melissa''s confused expression, the world tree smiled warmly and benevolently and put a hand on her shoulder as she knelt down. You may not know the answer to every choice. However, your leader... And, in ordance with the will of my apostle, unite all the powers that serve my divinity and my power and unite your strength. Fairy dryads who have built their own kingdom in seclusion in the forest. A half-human, half-beast tribe, a hybrid born between a divine beast and a human. And half-elves, who are not pure bloodlines like her, but inherit the lineage of elves. Talking to join forces with all these beings who are hiding somewhere on the continent, the world tree muttered to Melissa with a coy look. I know your picky and delicate tastes. The pursuit of beauty must be the same as a very natural instinct. Especially for elves, whose innocence is an essential attribute. Elves have stricter and demanding qualifications than anyone else in terms of appearance and origin. Melissa put on a prickly expression as if something had been stung by the story of the world tree. And to her, the world tree gave advice with a slightly stern expression. But now is not the time to be so obsessed with such tastes and create unnecessary trouble, my child. Join hands so that anyone who is willing to follow my will and cooperate with you, even if they have an ugly appearance, will ept without prejudice and contribute their strength. To protect this world and myself from a great catastrophe. And at her words, Melissa bowed her head gracefully without hesitation and said the utmost courtesy. I will obey, Mother of all. The world tree, which is like their own god, no one else. It was a request from her mother, the mother of all things and the source of all abundance and life on this continent, so Melissa decided to abolish the discrimination policy on appearance, which she had never given up and maintained despite all pressure and pressure. Im sorry for giving you such a big challenge. However, follow my apostle, Choco Paizoa, cultivate and nurture your home, the forest of this world, more abundantly than now. And in the moment of crisis that will blow one day, be a firm force for the existence that will change the fate of this world. A being... that will change fate... you mean...? Melissa asks as if who it is. However, the world tree stared at her staring at him with curious emerald eyes for a moment and then smiled. Even if it''s not now, you''ll know when the momentes. Whoops. Without answering the question, the world tree raised a mighty green divinity. Then he put his hand on Melissa''s head and muttered in a low voice. The mother of all things and the firm root that sustains this world. And the second son of the fathermands. The divinity of life that was born soon after death was born in this world. As the world itself called Arcadia and in charge of all things, she looked down at Melissa, Queen of the Elves, a descendant of the first child she created and a faithful servant who followed her more than anyone else, with warmer eyes than anyone else. Faithful helpers will always follow the agent who will carry out my will in this world.... A strong, unbreakable tree will always stand behind my apostle. Although it was not a choice she made because she wanted it, the apostle Chocopaizoa epted her divinity and mission, and with his birth, all of the requirements were met, so the World Tree revived an ancient race that had long since disappeared from thisnd. . n of green leaves, you are a noble lineage that shines more brilliantly than anyone else in this world. No living being can take away the dignity and authority you have. The earth will rejoice at your steps, the trees of the forest will hide you from your enemies, and all living things will see you and revere you and call your high name. Woo woo woo. ording to her absolute prophecy, a mighty green aura burst out like it was about to explode. Melissa began to change something as she fully epted the power full of powerful vitality and elemental power. And that change wasn''t just happening with Melissa. Koo Goo Goo Goo. The green energy that spreads throughout her realm. The World Tree muttered with a slightly hazy face as she watched the feast of her mighty power beautifully coloring the sky. The High Elf. Chapter 351 Chapter 351 Trolling Ability A huge amount ofputation that far surpasses conventionalmon sense. Transcendental intelligence and cognitive abilities beyond human limits. Artificial intelligence that epts and processes vast amounts of information pouring in in real time without stopping even for a minute or a second. Alice. The reason Arcadia was able to smoothly provide its services to people all over the world in the form of a game was possible because her skills were so perfect and outstanding. [Meets the requirements. Hidden quest created.] [Singrity disappears. Downgrading of surveince targets.] [Establishment of probable scenarios. Granting an unexpected situation.] [Detecting overcrowding in a specific hunting ground. Added quests to disperse users.] . . . In Arcadia, hundreds of thousands ofrge and small events and unusual trends ur every day. With billions of people actively ying the game, problems caught on her watch came flooding in every day, but Alice never handled any of them carelessly. A truly perfect level of artificial intelligence that anticipates the most optimized scenario, prepares countermeasures and supplements from A to Z, actively responds, and applies them. As a result, she was the only one who could directly ess and manipte the data in the game because most of the misceneous tasks were handed over to the management staff under hermand. Alice, the actual Game Master and operator. Although she exclusively possessed tremendous power and authority, the current system ran perfectly because she was an artificial intelligence and machine that was always fair and made judgments ording to principles without being bound by any self-interest or interests. Of course, because of that, there were problems in other parts. So... to what extent is the situationpletely settled? Both inside and outside the game, it was so noisy and chaotic that I couldn''t get my head around it. However, as the time of one month passed and people began to adapt to the new changes as they regained stability little by little, President Lee Mi-yeon was finally able to breathe. [That''s right. Currently, the confusion throughout Arcadia over the fall of Eden and the fall of the Holy Empire Saint has somewhat eased. In addition, it has been confirmed that there is no unrest such as directints and conflicts with other upations, although there is arge-scale job exodus of those with sacred upations among users. If you want to check the details of the rted content, please refer to the rted report.] Ellis told me to refer to hundreds of thousands of pages of reports while floating on the monitor. At her words, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her head from side to side as if she was not interested and let out a long snort as if she was tired. Ill try to read thatter when I have time. Rather... What are the other changes that were said to have urred on the World Tree side? It''s been making a lot of noisetely because of that? [You mean the third main scenario?] A quest that came without any notice shortly after the fall of Eden. It was about a narrative that brought huge changes to the entire continent of Arcadia. huh. I remember you mentioned something the other day, but I''ve been so distractedtely that I didn''t really hear it. Could you borate on what exactly it was about? President Lee Mi-yeon, who ran around the world to calm the anger of users and religious people who were angry at the fall of Eden, ran around the world to deal with the situation. Alice, who knew more than anyone how busy she was, began to exin in a dry tone to her request in detail. [All right. Please check the contents of the screen first.] [Act. 3 Nobles] Alice briefs everything in rtively detail, from how the main scenario urred, to future developments, and additional aftermath. After quietly listening to her exnation with a serious face, President Lee Mi-yeon nodded and said: So... to put it simply, you mean that the world tree that woke up has been watching the current situation for a while and has finally started moving? [That''s right. The resurrection of Vulcan''s divinity and the appearance of the death of the beginning. And the weakening of the Holy Empire, which was building the most powerful force, acted as a catalyst for the urrence of this scenario.] Heaven, which boasted an overwhelming market share that was close to a monopoly in Arcadia. However, as they stumbled due to a momentary mistake, the world tree began to actively exert its power to grow its power and influence as if robbing an empty house on this continent that temporarily becamemunist. That''s why she used all the power and authority allowed to her and raised the status of her limbs and followers, the elves. [The entire elven n that previously remained in the realm of the World Tree has been promoted to High Elf. Adjustments have been made to the basic stats and influence, and additional quests, new jobs, and NPCs'' basic ratings have been readjusted collectively. Also...] Unlike the existing elves, he was born with a noble lineage and has excellent physical abilities and superior mana sensitivity. A noble among the nobility known as a special fraudulent being in everything, with overwhelming intelligence and beautiful appearance, and a n that is only talked about in legends. High-Elf. Upon Alice''s report that this species had reappeared in Arcadia, President Lee Mi-yeon narrowed her eyes and looked at the rted data again. High Elf... ording to the world view setting... In Arcadia, these are the races that appear to bepletely extinct at the time the World Tree fell asleep during the Holy Demon War, right? [That''s right. They are the children of the World Tree and the beings born with the most blessings. Without the World Tree, they are a race that would not exist.] Simply put...they are like the World Tree''s bodyguards... It would be tantamount to saying that they would use them to actively intervene in Arcadia''s situation. [That''s right.] A family born from the World Tree and living to realize her will and will in Arcadia. So, while examining the details of the elves who had beenpletely reborn as beings with both mighty power and authority, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered something troubling. In conclusion, the elf queen named Melissa has been changed to a high elf queen of level 500... isn''t this almost the level of Saint Empire''s Amen? [That''s right. Currently, Melissa''s NPC level has been raised to a legendary level equivalent to the recently deceased Saint Empire''s Pope Amen.] Originally, Melissa was a special level 300 NPC. However, while looking at the content that her level has been adjusted to 500 and has beenpletely readjusted to the level of the Saint Empire''s Pope, Lee Mi-yeon, the original elven vige, has grownpletely rapidly into a force with a power that is as strong as that of Eden, the heart of the Saint Empire. knew that it did. So... what is the direction that this scenario requires from users? [Currently, the flow of the scenario has not beenpletely confirmed, but it seems that the main focus will be on solving all the overall tasks and tasks necessary for gathering friendly forces that can be incorporated under the World Tree. Representatively, stories with various mixed races that are descended from beastmen, fairies, and elves are likely to be the main focus, and the main direction is to solve the many conflicts and problems that have been formed between them for a long time and to unite them again. ] Elves and beastmen react more sensitively than anyone else. That''s why they rejected, guarded, and despised themselves and others more fiercely than anyone else. Those who have built up emotional valleys that can never be recovered over hundreds of thousands of years. A huge narrative that is expected to take a difficult and vast amount of time to persuade and unite those who are living in hiding somewhere across the continent. After confirming the final result of this scenario, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered to herself with a mysterious expression. It is the prelude to announce the resurrection of the Elven Kingdom... The civilization of the World Tree that existed in the age of mythology in the past. Elven Kingdom. Watching the movement to revive that mighty civilization in the present world, she suddenly stopped, feeling a sense of dj vu as if she had experienced something simr. Wait a minute... I must have seen this scene somewhere...? [What scene are you talking about?] Alice asks what that means. In response to her question, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered something really strange. It seemed like I had a simr story with you the other day...? is not it? I felt like I heard something very simr to this one about the Age of Mythology. Originally, it was a situation where we would have tilted our heads at each other and wondered if that was the case. However, Alice, an artificial intelligence that records and stores all information, soon brought out urate information about President Lee Mi-yeon''s sense of dj vu. [We found 1 conversation log that matches what the admin is saying. Please check that.] This is..... A few months ago. The second main scenario, the resurrection of Vulcan, which ushered in the age of mythology. After that, recalling the memory of being reported on the wind of change blowing from the ice bug, President Lee Mi-yeon shouted as if she had finally remembered it, pping her hands together. that''s right! Omnic! fire and steel. and the god of all cksmiths. vulcan. With his resurrection, her expression changed every moment as she recalled the story that all the dwarf ns were trying to unite and build a huge force. Could you show me the overall power structure of the Ellis Arcadia continent? [Okay.] Arcadia''s continent map disyed on the monitor. Looking at the map, where the powers that dominate each area are marked in colorful colors, President Lee Mi-yeon was able to realize. Omnic and elven kingdom. There is a Holy Empire and a Dark Kingdom... Although the Holy Empire has been weakened to the extent that it cannot bepared to before, those who exert a strong influence on the entire continent. However, since it was so weakened that it could not dare to attack other forces hastily, it became a golden opportunity for other forces to firmly root in Arcadia. The Dark Maroon Kingdom ruled by the ck me Dragon of Darkness. I am the omnic, the city of dwarves gathering around Yatongson. In addition to Choco Paijoa, the Sanctuary of the World Tree, the Elven Kingdom, is about to be reborn. Looking at the signs of reviving the brilliant civilizations of the past and the movements of several adventurers leading this huge flow, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a face that she was really tired. Isnt it a situation where our customer is at the center of all of this? During the witch hunt, the essence of the Lich Argamer was inserted into the chest of the ck me Dragon of Darkness. Rescuing I, who was rolling from very in the mines, and raising him as my apostle of Vulcanus. What changed the game life of Choco Paijoa, who was suffering fromining of resentment as a level 82 warrior. She couldn''t help but admire the fact that one person always existed at the center of all these changes. If all of this was intentional and moved, it is an achievement that I can''t believe it was done by one person to the extent that I even thought that it was a genius given by God. Really... This is a real ability, too. That''s how Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, pressed her temples with her fingers as she suffered from a throbbing headache today. Looking at the results of the atrocities (?) of a troublemaker troller who controls and shakes the world alone. Chapter 352 Chapter 352 The Tragedy of Group Assignments (1) Arcadia, another reality, humanity''s first virtual reality. Dex is a being who has brought about numerous changes in the world. Although everything waspletely unknown to the public, he was a person who boasted more powerful influence than anyone else, but he was just an ordinary college student living a very ordinary life. So, ording to a paper recently published by Dr. Howe Schmitz of MIT, it was said that it is necessary to develop a special algorithm to maintain the efficiency of the architecture that constitutes and maintains virtual reality and the stability and integrity of data packets. However, since nothing is known about the algorithm currently used in Arcadia, numerous researches and developments rted to it are being actively conducted in the academic world... A plex lecture that makes you feel confused just by listening to it. However, the sophomores gave up on understanding and gave up understanding, wondering if this was once or twice, sitting on chairs and just nced at the clock while waiting for the lecture to end. And exactly when the clock points to the hour. Professor Taehoon Kim put down the marker in his hand. Time is running out, so lets finish the lecture today. You worked hard! Greetings bursting out from here and there as if they had been waiting for him to finish his lecture. Then, looking at the undergraduates who were getting up to pack their belongings and leave the ssroom, he said as if he had forgotten. ah. And now, the final exam was originally scheduled for next month... What college students hate the most, but ironically and secretly wee. final exam. College students hate the exam itself, but knowing that the moment they finish the final exam, the long-awaited sweet vacation will begin, so they stop everything they are doing at Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s words and begin to focus on him at once. Originally, the schedule for the seminar in the US, which I was supposed to attend during this vacation, was suddenly moved forward. It seems like you don''t have enough time to give it a test and evaluate it. That''s why I''m saying this just in case... Professor Kim Tae-hun frowned as if he was in trouble. Seeing him, who would never normally see him, the eyes of the students began to widen with anticipation. And Professor Kim Tae-hoon answered their expectations very honestly. Im thinking of recing the final exam with an end-of-semester report this semester, but would everyone be okay with that? Instead, lets give them group assignments, not individual assignments. Substitute group assignments for exams. At those words, everyone''s faces turned into shock. Group task...?'' Instead of that vicious final exam... you''re going to do it with one group assignment?'' Such crazy... Are you saying that I don''t have to prepare for that horrible amount of exams this time?'' A proposal like heaven that would never be imagined by professor Kim Tae-hoon. So, in case they change their minds, they scrambled to answer without saying who would be first. Thats right. We''re all right, Professor. Group assignments are also good. I do. I think that''s a very smart idea, Professor! Professor, I think the preparation of the end-of-semester report can be a useful time to end the semester. At this moment, all the students are united in one mind, mboyantly teasing their tongues, and agreeing with his thoughts. And Professor Kim Tae-hun smiled and nodded his head as if he was d for their reaction. I''m d you think so. Then... this final exam will be nothing. Information rted to the end-of-semester report will be announcedter through the teaching assistant, so keep that in mind. Professor Kim Tae-hoon leaves the ssroom first with those words. After he closed the door and left, thunderous cheers and cheers erupted from inside the ssroom, as if a bomb had exploded. and! oh my god! You''re not taking the test? really? Is this a true story? Is our professor really the kind of person who would pass on like this? I know yeah! Group assignments are just fun! that''s right. It doesnt evenpare to preparing for that crazy final exam. Sophomores in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University are overjoyed that they do not have to take exams. They each left the ssroom with faces full of joy. Without seeing the dark shadows that would unfold before them. * * * End of semester report to rece the final exam. Detailed information about him was shared with everyone through a group chat room in less than a week. Hmm..... For each group task, 4 people must work together as a group..... The topic can be anything rted to virtual reality... Anyone who wantsplete freedom without a fixed topic or format Professor Kim Tae-Hoon''s task is to make a report by forming a group of four people. It was an extremely generous and easy assignment that allowed me to gauge how unusual this situation was, considering my usual strict personality. Jaeyoung, do you have any topics you want to cover in this assignment? Jae-gyun asks with his eyes shining as if he is having fun. In response to his question, Jaeyoung shook his head. Well... I dont have anything in mind... Really? Then, think about it step by step... Well, first of all, I said that four people should form a group, so I should gather two more people, but has anyone thought of it? Jaeyoung and Jaekyun cannot submit the report alone. At least two more names were needed to be written down in the assignment, but to Jaeyoung and Jaekyun, whose academic life was almost an afterthought, none came to mind. Well... wouldnt it be fine if it was just someone who wasnt moderately angr? Thats true, but... wait a minute... Jaeyoungs words lead to Jaekyun fiddling with his smartphone while chatting with someone while busy. And he started to twitch his face as if he didn''t like it. what''s the matter? A jae-gyun that looks ufortable to nt something. And Jaeyoung, who looked at him with curious eyes and asked, was able to roughly grasp the situation. That''s... I asked Chaeyeon if she made groups... I asked...? That... Tae-soo and I are looking for other members... Um... Kang Tae-soo. Jae-kyun and high school ssmates in the past, but the two do not get along enough to be called a bad rtionship. The fact that they were openly fighting a fierce battle of nerves with Chae-yeon was a famous story that went beyond the department and spread throughout the working ss university, so Jae-young spat out a silence at Jae-gyun''s words. Hey Jaeyoung..... I don''t like it. ...I havent said anything yet. Looks like they''re going to ask if it''s okay to team up with the two of them. ..... Jaekyun sticks out his mouth at Jaeyoungs words and puts on a sullen expression. However, Jaeyoung shook his head in a firm tone and said. Dont let me get caught up in that crazy love triangle with you, Chaeyeon and Taesoo. Its a really obvious video of what will happen when the four of us do group assignments. It is clear that even with a trivial thing, they will fight all kinds of nerves and fight aung daung. It was his honest feeling that he didn''t want to be with them in their crazy love affair, so Jaeyoung shook his head as if he hadn''t even thought about it. Yeah, but you said before that you shouldnt leave Chaeyeon alone with that bastard. He said he had to work hard to win love somehow. ...when the hell did I say that...? Jae-gyun makes strange noises that he can''t even remember. He asked back as if he was absurd, but Jae-gyun said with a confident face. Last year! You said that at the fair! Dont just sit back and watch Tae-soos son attack Chae-yeon. The virtual reality expo where Jaekyun''s talent was first discovered. Did I say that at the time? That time when Jaeyoung is recalling her memories with a smile on her face. Jaekyun checked the message at the continuous ringing sound and held up his cell phone to Jaeyoung and said. Chaeyeon asked first if we couldnt find all the members yet. Um..... The situation where Chaeyeon suggested that we do an assignment together first. When Jae-young had an ominous intuition that if he refused, Jae-gyun''s whining wouldst for quite some time, Jae-young pondered with a serious face. ah. Jaeyoung-ah Jebaal~. Let''s just be together. huh? You can just do nothing. I''ll do everything, even what you have to do. Jae-gyun, who does not hesitate to do things that make him cringe while even performing aegyo that does not make sense. At his desperate request, Jaeyoung sighed as he trembled with an expression of boredom. Ugh..... Shall we just throw it away and go find another group?'' In my heart, Jae-young has the urge to leave Jae-gyun alone and escape in search of his own way. However, Jaeyoung nodded after thinking for a moment because he didn''t know what would happen after he left this ignorant hukou-like thunder-naked man between the girl and the girl, and he didn''t know what to do next. . Yeah... do as you please. really? Anyway, no matter what I do, I get an A, so it doesnt really matter. I''m just worried that you''ll make a dark history by doing strange things again, so don''t expect anything from me. In fact, Professor Kim Tae-hoon promised an unconditional A regardless of assignments or attendance. Of course, it was necessary to pretend to work hard because it was strictly kept secret from the other ssmates, but until now, Jaeyoung had never been stressed out because of the extremely difficult exams and assignments. huh! Hehehe! I''ll do everything, so just match the assortment. Thank you so much Jaeyoung. Jae-gyun smirks at Jae-young''s eptance and sends a message to Chae-yeon right away. Looking at him with a pitiful look, Jaeyoung closed his eyes and shook his head slightly. Really, I don''t know if this guy has no sense or he''s just stupid...'' It''s a shame because his exceptional talent shined. Jae-kyun, who couldn''t lift it and didn''t know that he should have gone to school without anyone knowing. But after the birth of Arcadia and virtual reality. His status has risen to a level that no one can touch at this popr university. The first Arcadia Special Schrship student. A creator that Mizuni''s chairman praises highly. In addition, the winner of the 1st Imagination Competition directly hosted by Arcadia Co., Ltd. and the creator of the masterpiece of the century, The Space Invasion of the Earless Cat Robot'', which caused a great stir in the entire Western world. Mr. by the way Beyond Seomin University, he is a future talent and a key prospect that the world''s film industry is paying attention to. Originally, it was normal for the surroundings to be crowded with many people, but no one lingered around Jae-gyun because of his unapproachable peculiarity. A dirty eye. A fashion sense that cannot be seen with only two eyes. A body like a fat uncle and an appearance that doesn''t seem to be doing any maintenance at all. Jae-gyun, who seems to have gathered all the elements that would never have a good impression on him. So, Jae-young thought of Jeong, who was kidnapped by the Japanese intelligence service, and decided to ept his unreasonable request. And the first day of the group assignment meeting. Jae-young sincerely regrets and regrets the choice that was swayed by his emotions. Chapter 353 Chapter 353 The Tragedy of Group Assignment (2) Group Assignment. A task in the form of members of the same group working together to achieve amon goal. Originally, it contained a very good purpose and meaning to solve difficult problems by filling in and supplementing each other''s shorings and maximizing strengths through synergy, but the real world was not such a beautiful ce. [Hey.... Our PPT will be presented until tomorrow, have you finished it?] [Yeah...? Ah... that captain. I''m sorry. I was in so much pain yesterday that Iy in bed all day. What should I do?] [...How did the kid who said he was sick go to the amusement park?] [Ah...] Freerider with a spoon VS A steady college student who diligentlypletes his assignments. Because of thismunist system of joint production of assignments and equal distribution of credits, the entire college district is always a ce of fierce and suffocating nerve warfare and war. These scenes, which can be found anywhere from unnamed local universities to top-level universities, are examples that clearly prove that the Paretow exists. [In any organization ormunity, the top 20% of the minority perform 80% of the work. This is a phenomenon that urs even in elite organizations, and the cause still needs additional research, but the biggest cause is because of the free riders who want to eat anything raw...] Always solving amon task Those who are more interested in other things. And this was the same for Jaeyoung''s Joe. Jaeyoung Yoon. Jaekyun Lim. Chaeyeon Jeon. Kang Tae-soo. Checking the list of members with the names of these four people, those who first met each had a different expression and epted the current situation in their own way. Hehehe! Chaeyeon and I do group assignments!'' Ah... I wish I could decide something roughly and finish it.'' Why the hell is that bastard even interfering here?'' Jae-gyun, who smiles, and Jae-young, who is sitting with a bored face, not obsessed with grades at all, are happy to do the assignment with Chae-yeon. And Tae-soo keeps his mouth shut while ring at Jae-gyun with an openly annoyed face. In this situation where everyone was more interested in other things than the task, Chaeyeon was the only one who was thinking about the task normally. Hmm..... What topic should I use...?'' She has no interest in the battle of passion between Jae-gyun and Tae-soo. Whether she knew it or not, she began to lead the group chattering with a bright smile as usual. First of all, I think it would be better to investigate the impact of thetest virtual reality technology on all aspects of society than to treat the subject of the report clumsily with engineering technology or theory. Anyway, Professor Kim Tae-Hoon doesn''t seem to have set any restrictions with that intention. Also, since Tae-soo and I are majoring in economics, I think it will be easier to write in this field. Um... is that a really good idea? okay? huh. We don''t understand Professor Kim Tae-hoon''s ss anyway. It''s very difficult. If you mess around with theory or technology, you''ll probably get an F grade right away? The subject of social change and cultural influence due to virtual reality may feel fresh to you. Ho-ho-ho. I hadn''t thought that far. I hope so. Jae-gyun makes a fuss over and over again, his eyes twinkling at Chae-yeon''s suggestion. As if she didn''t like hispliment, she smiled and talked with a bright face. Then... once weve decided on a topic, lets go through some research on each other and discuss it again this Friday. huh! I will investigate as much as I can. Anyway, I havent decided what to cover in detail yet, so dont feel too pressured and look aroundfortably. Then I will wake up first because I have the next lecture now. Chae-yeon leaves first, smiling at Jae-kyun, who is burning with too much passion, and the remaining three men. And, of course, a strange and awkward silence began to flow between them. ..... ..... Tae-soo is not saying anything, but he is ring at Jae-gyun with a very ufortable look. And Jae-kyun, who couldn''t even meet his eyes properly, was at a loss, not knowing what to do. Jaeyoung, who looked at the two alternately and made a pitiful expression, sighed deeply and stood up from his seat. Then we''re leaving. As Jae-kyun''s reliever, Jae-young got up first and nodded his head to signal Jae-gyun to go. Sit down because I have something to say. Yes....? What to say...? Jae-kyun froze with a somewhat flustered face at those words. However, he froze at Tae-soo''s stern gaze and soon put his butt back on his seat. Get out of here because you have nothing to do with it. Because high school ssmates have something to say. Tae-soo turned his head to Jae-young and growled in a stern tone as Jae-gyun sat down. However, Jaeyoung shrugged his shoulders as if he wasn''t afraid at all and sat back down. Nope? what....? I''m going to go with this kid. Doesnt it get boring if you go alone in the same direction? Jaeyoung predicted that this situation would happen in the first ce. Seeing him reckless from the start in this way, he began to do his best as a friend. If you have something to say, either do it right here or make an appointment with the two of you separately. ..... Jaeyoung says that she has no intention of backing down from here. Then, Tae-soo looked at him with cold eyes, but Jae-young also did not back down and confidently faced his eyes. Anyway, this pathetic kid who doesn''t have a knack...'' Jae-gyun, who likes Chae-yeon and cringes like a mouse in front of a cat, to Tae-soo, a strongpetitor. He had already foreseen this situation, so he was there with me and took my side, but no matter how much I thought about it, the current situation was very frustrating. What kind of a guy who''s been kidnapped by Japanese intelligence agents is afraid of a college student in his early 20s?'' In Jae-young''s eyes, Tae-soo is just an ordinary college student who doesn''t know the world and has nothing to fear. It was true that he, who looked good-looking and had a lot of money, was a little better than the others, but to Jae-young, it was only an extremely ordinary level. Anyway..... He''s a guy who won''t yield to anything, whether it''s social influence or financial power...'' World-renowned genius creator Mr. Lim. Jae-kyun, a talent and a promising man, who promises great fortune and wealth while allpanies around the world want to recruit him. However, he was just a coward who couldn''t even think of using all that he had achieved with his own power right here and now. joy. Are you siding with such a pathetic bastard as a friend? Tae-soo, who showed no signs of backing down at all, took a step back and made a sarcastic remark. And he soon shook his head from side to side as if it didn''t matter and started talking to Jae-kyun about what he wanted to say, ignoring Jae-young. From now on, stop fooling around around Chaeyeon. Uh... Huh? Jae-kyun, who can''t even speak properly and only pouting. Seeing him hesitantly, Tae-soo smiled openly and whispered. When you were in high school, you teased Chaeyeon around you and stepped on her like that, but you still dont understand? Isnt Chae-yeon not the level of a piglet like you? ..... Jaekyun shivered with a pale face at those words. As if he had PTSD, Tae-soo continued to threaten him, who couldn''te to his senses. There are a lot of things that seem to be going well for a while and that miserable life seems to be getting better, so there are a lot of things that proudly raise their heads as if theyve be something... Jaekyun, you know what? Tae-soo whispered to Jae-gyun with a bloody look in his eyes, as if he could still step on them if he wanted to, just like he did back in his school days. You know that young people who live a life like bugs are bugs no matter how good they are? And I absolutely can''t stand having those bugs around me. I will stomp on all of them and kill them without leaving a trace. ..... Jaekyun couldnt say anything and just stared at Taesoo with a frozen face. And Jaeyoung, who was watching the two of them, muttered to himself without realizing it, with a face that was really ridiculous. Youre fucking. The inner thoughts that burst out of Jaeyoung''s heart in a state where he was not even conscious. However, Jae-gyun looked at Jae-young with a startled face at the words he heard so clearly, and Tae-soo started ring at Jae-young with a stern look. This bastard... Hey, what did you just say? In an instant, the arrow returned to Jaeyoung. However, rather than being afraid of Tae-soo, Jae-yeong frowned and said, It''s just a nuisance. No, to be honest, adults in their 20s are so pathetic. Just one person giving up cleanly. Or, ask Chae-yeon to confess together and decide on one person. Why is there only one girl on this, Chaeyeon? When Jaeyoung, who has no feelings for Chaeyeon, sees it, it is iprehensible to argue like this. It was hard to stand in the middle and just watch it, so Jaeyoung jumped up from his seat as if there was nothing more to say. And... to be honest, if I were Taesoo, Chaeyeon would have lost her hand a long time ago. I''ve been following you around like that since high school, but if you still don''t ept me, isn''t it just that you''re not interested in me? It''s not some kind of hukou, but you treat the fishery management that much? what....? Tae-soo makes a stupid expression, as if he had been hit with a hammer. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung, who tried to say something more, scratched his head with aplicated expression and then waved his hands as if he was about to quit. Eh. Well, if that''s good, you''re all right..... Anyway, I hope you and Jaekyun broaden their horizons a bit more. At this level, Chaeyeon is just not interested in dating. Or is it because I''m not interested in either of you. Jae... Jaeyoung, what is that... This bastard is real... Jaekyun reacts violently as the truth of Jaeyoung, who is merciless and cant find anything good, pierces his heart. and Taesu. However, Jaeyoung turned around and waved his hand as if he had no intention of dealing with him. Anyway, whether you decide to be fair by ying rock-paper-scissors, clean things up a bit now. I was going to sit still and listen to it until the end, but I think I won''t be able to listen to it anymore because it''s so cheesy, so I''m going first. Jae-young''s escape,cking the resistance to endure this conversation full of emotions. The two of them, who had been watching his exit, stayed nkly for a while, then suddenly looked into each other''s eyes. ..... ..... The silence became even more awkward. However, it was none other than Jae-gyun who broke the silence. that''s right. I am no longer that Lim Jae-kyun back then...'' Jae-young''s words stuck in his heart. Just looking at Tae-soo''s face reminded him of those terrible moments in his school days, and his hair turned white, but at this moment, the courage that he didn''t know where he was hiding began to well up. I can''t give up. Chaeyeon is the girl I''ve liked since a long time ago!'' That moment when your heart was filled with confidence that you will never have again. Jaekyun shouted at Taesoo. I... I! I will not give up. ...? Jae-gyun shouts in a loud voice while looking at Tae-soo confidently with a nervous face. Then he pointed at Tae-soo with his finger and said with a grim face as if he were the main character in a cartoon. I will fight with you Kang Tae-soo for Chae-yeons sake. and that day. About myselfpeting for a girl with that downright real person. Tae-soo was tormented for a while by a strange sense of self-doubt. Chapter 354 Chapter 354 Tragedy of group assignments (3) Kang Tae-soo is a sophomore in the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University. He has lived a blessed life since he was young. He has a father who is the president of a mid-sizedpany that is well-recognized in the industry and a mother who is a prosecutor at the Seoul District Prosecutors Office. On top of that, Tae-soo has lived a so-called upper-ss life since he was a child, as the family itself belonged to a family with a lot of money and connections. money is money. power is power. A blessed family environment where nothing iscking. In addition, thanks to his good-looking appearance and superior height to other peers, he was noticed everywhere and boasted a prominent presence. [As expected, Tae-soo is amazing!] [Hey, Tae-soo, actually, I''ve liked you since before!] [Ho-ho-ho! Tae-soo is always trustworthy.] A child who has been loved by everyone from elementary school to ssmates and teachers. Because he had received that much love from a very young age, it eventually returned to him as poison. [What''s wrong with you?] [Insignificant bastards..... How dare you not even know the subject...?] [Insignificant things in the family. In front of whom are you attacking?] Tae-soo goes beyond a reasonable level of self-esteem and self-confidence and falls into arrogance, conceit, and narcissism. In this way, while acting as an exemry student on the outside, behind the scenes, he dominated the entire school as a vicious and cruel devil-like being. Tae-soo, who never reveals his true identity, maniptes others with money and power behind the scenes, and achieves what he wants. That''s why even after he entered university, he maintained a smooth rtionship with the limbs who thoroughly followed him during his school days. thud. thud. thud. thud. An intense and heavy beat that makes your heart pound the moment you hear it. And a superrge club in Gangnam where many young men and women are dancing with shysers and lights. Tae-soo, who prated therge stage, soon found a group of people already drinking heavily in the top-notch room on the upper floor. Oh Tae-soo. I''m here? Hey... Its been a while, hasnt it? You said you were going to university, but now its hard to even meet your face? High school alumni smirking at his appearance. However, Tae-soo had never once thought of those who were drunk as friends even before he arrived, drinking the best liquor with a blushing face and pouring out all sorts of obscene and disgusting obscenities. As expected... they''re still beast-like bastards who don''t have anything in their head...'' Humans at such a pitiful level that it''s embarrassing that they went to the same school. However, Tae-soo did not express any of those things and smiled as if he was d to see them. How have you been? Okay~. Hey, how well are we doing these days? We are no longer a ss that steals pocket money from kids with dirty noses! cancer! Taesoo, you bastard, didnt you pull a private loan and pick out a foreign car this time? You really are crazy. Hehehe... Hey, you shouldnt call it a loan. You just borrowed it from my older brother. Alumni who are not ashamed of telling all kinds of pathetic and low-quality stories that they don''t want to know or hear. However, it was because of their background that Tae-soo did not even show all of that and continued to maintain a rtionship with these scumbags. Oh Tae-soo. Come to think of it, my eldest brother said he was going to meet you, so he asked us to say his regards. Ask your father to contact you anytime if anything happens. Dongmyeongpa, the biggest gang in Korea, active in Seoul. Tae-soo naturally nodded when he heard that the boss of the Dongmyeong faction asked about his father. Well... I want to say thank you. Recently, there has been no major promotion rted to redevelopment, so it seems that my father has nothing to contact. Tae-soo''s father, who mobilized arge number of Dongmyeong-pa''s gang members as a forced demolition service during the original redevelopment period, and easily handled the job. However, since therge-scale construction project Underworld promoted by Ajin Construction began, most of the mega-projects such as reconstruction or the construction ofrge-scale apartmentplexes had beenpletely stopped, so it was true that the rtionship was a little more distant than the close rtionship at that time. Cheuk ..... Yes. He didn''t say anything, but apparently he noticed that your mother seemed to have something to ask of you. okay....? Have you had any identstely? Tae-soo tilts his head and asks a question from a friend who said that he has something to ask of his mother, who is the chief prosecutor of the Seoul District Prosecutor''s Office. But my friend shrugged his shoulders as if that wasn''t the case. It''s nothing big... There''s been a few kids recently caught by cops selling some drugs. Maybe don''t delve into it too deeply and ask them to finish it as quietly as the caught guys, or something like that. Those who go beyond providing illegal service gangsters and rush at anything that makes money, such as drug trafficking, smuggling, and loan fraud. So, to Dongmyeong-pa, Tae-soo was no different from an important being who did not dare to be treated carelessly. Republic of Korea is a society where you can do anything if you have money and power. Therefore, Tae-soo, who has both of them, was a valuable customer to them, and a partner andpanion who needed to maintain a smooth and close rtionship for the future. And it was the same for Tae-soo. One day, he will inherit his father''spany and be the president of a mid-sized constructionpany with hundreds of billions of won in capital. So, if you think about your future, you need to continue to maintain this friendly rtionship with Dongmyeongpa. How far can these bastards really go up in the organization...'' They are just mediocre scoundrels with nothing to offer, but they are faithful dogs who listen to anything they say. So Tae-soo held out his cup with a smile, thinking that it was necessary to give them strength. okay. Don''t worry, I''ll tell you everything well. Big. Taesoo too! Shoot it! loyalty! loyalty! Let''s drink! drink! For our eternal friendship! Cheers! People who drink liquor that costs hundreds of thousands of won a bottle like drinking water, drink to their heart''s content without worrying about money, and talk about all sorts of nonsensical things. By the time the atmosphere is in full swing as they talk about all kinds of old stories. A friend asked Tae-soo with twinkling eyes. ah. Come to think of it, Tae-soo, do you have a girlfriend? girl friend? uh. Back in high school, who were you... You only chased after a girl named Chaeyeon. that''s right. Tae-soo, this kid has a good-looking face and a good body, so he received a lot of confessions from famous girls around him, but in the end he rejected them all, right? Looking at it, Tae-soo is a pretty innocent man, right? If you''re like me, it''s just very... Hahaha. What''s with that gori-like face? Wake up, you bastard. A story that quickly passed by in the midst of loudughter. However, Tae-soo, listening to their stories, quietly tilted his ss at once with a distorted face. ??? ???..... ?? ?? ? ?? ??? ????? ? ???'' Chaeyeon Jeon. When he first met Chae-yeon, who had been his ssmate since high school, Tae-soo had no interest in her. It''s true that it looks pretty, but it''s only a little better than normal. Her appearance was not so outstanding that it wasparable to that of a celebrity, so in the eyes of Tae-soo, it was enough to be overlooked. But... After overhearing her homeroom teacher talking to someone on the school rooftop by chance one day, Tae-soo started to hang around, only looking for a chance to get involved with Chae-yeon. She thoroughly tramples on all the men who have feelings for her, and always pretends to be the perfect boyfriend in front of Chae-yeon. If only Chaeyeon''s background could be utilized properly... I could inte my father''spany dozens of times more than it is now.'' She looks like an ordinary student on the outside, but she has a background that she dares not touch. It was so strange that no one noticed this fact until now, Tae-soo did his best to please her by any means and methods from then on. But... despite the governor''s efforts, the results were not very good. [Um..... I''m sorry, but Tae-soo, I want to meet someone who makes my heart pound.] Despite numerous confessions, Chae-yeon always rejected and pushed herself away. And at that time, Tae-soo realized for the first time that the woman he was aiming for was different from normal people a little... no, very much different from what he thought. [A confession that no one has ever received! I don''t want to meet someone who just confesses like that.] Chaeyeon is strangely obsessed with confessing her love. Tae-soo, who had a hard time against her iron wall. And with the recent appearance of a strongpetitor, the situation was bing more and moreplicated. [Hehehe..... Chae Yeon-ah! What are you doing?] [Hehe..... Chae Yeon-ah ho.... Would you like to have lunch with me if you have time?] When I was in the same high school as Tae-soo, I was one of the victims who dared to fall in love with Chae-yeon and harassed and trampled her to a vicious level. former ssmate. Jaekyun Lim. When I met Jaekyun again at Seomin University. At first, Tae-soo thought of him as not even hispetitor. However, as the worm-like being grew rapidly into a being with more and more powerful influence, Tae-soo began to feel nervous. Does that worm-like perverted stalker dare... go after my woman?'' Strictly speaking, we are not dating yet, but he thinks he has already passed on to himself. So Tae-soo drank a ss of wine in a row out of anger at Jae-gyun, who ignorant of the subject and over-indulged in things he shouldn''t have. Tae-soo''s mood suddenly changed. And the friends who sensed it soon looked at him with curious eyes and asked carefully. Hey... Taesoo, whats wrong? Why are you suddenly like this? An ordinary family with no money or power. On top of that, Jaekyun was a pitiful worm-like being with no abilities or anything. However, the fact that he became an artist praised and loved by people all over the world was not a fact that Tae-soo''s arrogant pride could easily ept. He''s just a sneaky pervert who can''t do anything without virtual reality technology.'' Virtual Reality Arcadia. While repeating his intense self-justification that everything he had achieved was just luck born in the times, Tae-soo suddenly realized that six faithful dogs were staring at him, waiting for hismand right in front of his eyes. And Tae-soo smiled at a thought that suddenly passed through his head. Hey... Come to think of it, I also have a favor to ask of you... A loach that keeps interfering between Chaeyeon and her rtionship, soiling the water and disturbing it. Thinking of a good way to solve this unsolvable problem, Tae-soo asked them for a magic trick with a cold face. Do you guys know how to quietly disappear without anyone knowing? It''s a magic trick that kills people. Chapter 355 Chapter 355 The Tragedy of Group Tasks (4) Dongmyeong-pa, thergest gangster group that dominates the dark streets of Seoul at night. They had branch offices all over the country and were rapidly expanding their forces, quickly destroying and swallowing rival organizations and growing to an overwhelming scale, but surprisingly, their history was not that long. 10 years. Although it is about the time when rivers and mountains change once, Park Chun-bae, who had nothing to count on except his two fists during that short time, was able to build such a huge organization alone because of one person who looked after him and fully supported him. . Kang Man-cheol, the president of Yuhan Construction Company and Kang Tae-soo''s father. Chunbae''s organization waspletely reborn and made a steep leap forward as a result of a rtionship that began with taking on the dirty work of arge-scale redevelopmentplex promoted by hispany. From a group of insignificant and crude thugs gathered together by just a few street bullies, to an organization in the dark who wears suits worth tens of millions of won apiece and manages an enormous amount of money in the underground economy. And in the process, they have fulfilled their role as Kang Man-cheol''s faithful hunting dogs and servants. ckmail extortion kidnapping assault... even murder. Dong Myung-pa, who risked any dirty and illegal work to move for President Kang Man-cheol. And thanks to them, Yuhan Construction, which is gaining huge profits in the industry and growing rapidly day by day, is gaining influence. The twopanies had no rtionship on the outside, but on the inside, they had a symbiotic rtionship that was closely rted. Brother, we all talked well and came back. After finishing the meeting with Tae-soo, Man-sik returned to the organization. He looked at Chunbae, who was smoking a cigarette by himself, and began to report the oue of the meeting with a nervous face. As my older brother said, I told Tae-soo well to deliver a message to President Kang Man-cheol. Taesoo also promised that he would be able to settle down sooner orter, so if you wait a little longer, you will likely get a response from that side as well. In addition to that, Man-shik talks in detail about the internal situation of Yuhan Construction and President Kang Man-cheol, whom he learned about through Tae-soo. Chunbae, who had been silently listening to his report, raised his hand with a light smile on his face, probably satisfied. That was enough. You''ve got more in your head than I expected. Chunbae is usually stingy withpliments. Man-sik, who had a bright color that was close to praise by his standards, soon bowed his waist to 90 degrees and shouted in a loud voice. thank you! Its okay, so lets go. If I have any further instructions, I will call youter. When Chun-bae waved his hand and issued a congrattory order, Man-sik rolled his eyes for a moment and then quietly left the office. Even after he left, Chun-bae, who was still in thought, asked Chief Chung-bok Kim, who was watching all of this quietly by her side. What do you think of the story you just heard? Chief Kim, who ys a key role in the organization and is the biggest reason why Dongmyeong-pa has been able to quietly disintegrate or copse hugepeting organizations without causing major trouble or problems. Since most of the big decisions for the organization that Chunbae has made so far havee from his advice, he first asked Chief Kim for this issue as well. From my point of view, it seems to be nothing more than an act of catering that has no meaning. Even if we deliver our message to President Kang Man-cheol, he will not contact us. Currently, Yuhan Construction is widening its distance from us, not for any special reason, but simply because there is no regrettable situation to ask for help. Originally, a boom in reconstruction andrge-scale apartment development was actively taking ce throughout Seoul. At that time, the brilliant period of asking for help from Dongmyeong-pa, opening his hands in regret, was lost in just a few years, and the biggest event urred, which led to the advent of a dark period that did not know when it would end. [Let''s build a new megacity under this Seoul where 10 million people will live! I risk everything in my political life! For both themon people and young people who dream of resolving the problem of soaring real estate prices and owning a home, Jeon Jeon-chan Lee promises to solve that long-cherished wish in front of all the people!] Underworld, a superrge construction project since Dangun . Since the start of the project, the close rtionship between Yuhan Construction and Dongmyeongpa began to twist little by little. Ajin Construction is exclusively providing all construction rted to the development of the underground city called Underworld. Given the current atmosphere in which the entire industry is responding with a conservative viewpoint because it is impossible to predict which direction the real estate and construction markets will go in the future, there is no reason for President Kang Man-cheol to actively respond to our message. The entire construction market is frozen and there is no reason to give and receive help from each other. It had been a long time since President Kang Man-cheol was not a hunk, so there was no reason to have a meeting with the head of a criminal organization, who would not be good to meet face-to-face. Ummm..... Then, from your point of view, it was an unprofitable meeting? Is this what you mean? Suddenly, members of the low-level gang are going to meet Tae-soo, the only son of President Kang Man-cheol. Chunbae tried his own way to dramatically reverse the current ambiguous rtionship through them, but his face soon turned into disappointment at the words of Chief Kim, who told him the cold reality. Not necessarily, sir. If we use it well, I think that Yuhan Construction and President Kang Man-cheol could get us into a big debt. okay? That''s right. Whatever it is, Tae-soo is the only blood rtive of President Kang Man-cheol and the heir who will inherit Yuhan Construction in the future. Right now, I''m just an immature young boy who doesn''t know the world... but if we can build a friendly rtionship, it will give the Dongmyeongpa a lot of strength in the long term. A request to deal with a rival boy for the sake of a girl he likes. It was a pitiful situation to ask for help from others in this way without being able to do anything on your own, but Chief Kim saw this as a good opportunity that would never happen again. In addition, when the situation reaches its worstter, it can be used as a means of intimidation to President Kang Man-cheol. My one and only child instigated me to bury a person for the sake of a girl... There is no way I can stand by and watch articles like this spread all over the world. Director Kim, who ordered all conversations to be recorded in case of an unexpected situation. He picked up the USB that Man-shik had brought and said with a fishy smile as if he was recalling a sinister n. If the current president Kang Man-cheol or the immature youngster in the future take advantage of this incident well, they will be able to put their leashes on so that they can never abandon or betray our organization. Unlike now, if we die, not only President Kang Man-cheol, but also his son will pay the price, so we will do everything in our power to protect Yuhan Construction. Director Kim talks about a pretty usible n. Chunbae''s ears started to flutter at his words. If things go that way, nothing could be better. So... how can you quietly dispose of a target that wants to be cleared? Sounds like a pretty celebrity, right? Lim Jae-gyun, known as Mr. Lim, is a world-ss prospect and talented person. Tae-soo was quite reckless when he asked to quietly erase the topical figure from the world, but Kim, who was seriously thinking about it, was also quite far frommon sense. was a person with Well... it''s true that he''s a bit popr, but what can he do about it? If I buried it deep in the mountain without anyone noticing, or if I hit the tools well with cement and throw the whole drum on the beach, I would never find it. Chief Kim and Chunbae have not done this once or twice. They smiled mockingly as they recalled those who walked through dark alleys, slept in their homes, were abducted at dawn and died without anyone in the world knowing. Well... among those who died to us, none of them have yet be noisy. Hahaha... It''s funny when you think about it. Before dying like that, why are there still no news of those who growled with a lot of venom, saying that they would take revenge even if they became ghosts? because of money. Because of business conflicts. Because of simple retaliation. People who disappeared silently to Dongmyeong-pa for numerous reasons. In theirst moments, Chunbae, who could only stretch his legs out and sleep well after hearing countless curses and curses filled with deep resentment, nodded his head with a face of confidence when he saw Director Kim''s confident eyes. Then take care of yourself and take care of it. Do the request of that immature youngster and fulfill the shackles from which you can never break free. For the future of Dongmyeong-pa, Chun-bae decided to intervene in the fight between college students. In response to his instructions, Chief Kim nodded and replied briefly, as if telling him not to worry. All right. Rather than that... the drugs we recently brought in from China. The effect seems to be good, but the price doesn''t make much sense. Arent they overpriced too generously, no matter how exclusively they receive it? Oh you mean that? In the process of secretly cultivating and importing it from the Shandong region... Even after that, Chunbae and Chief Kim discuss a lot day and night for the future of Dongmyeongpa. But they didn''t know. The fact that they, who always worry and work tirelessly for the well-being and prosperity of the organization, be the most important parties in making the Dongmyeong faction disappear from this world without a trace. I''m home! Chaeyeon returned home after a rewarding day today. And it was none other than Chae-yeon''s father who greeted her. Are you here? It''s prettyte today. yes. The professor gave me an assignment. I waste doing some research on that. Chae-yeon unpacks her bag and sits on the sofa looking exhausted. Dad looked at her with meaningful eyes and asked. You... you havent got a boyfriend, have you? ah! Even if its not like that! Dad looks at Chaeyeon with strange eyes. However, at Chaeyeon''s resolute assertion that this was not the case, he muttered as he turned his eyes to the news again. If not, Im d. Let me know if anything happens. I have to check where the guy came from. You know very well that it is a rule. Chae-yeon''s father tells a strange story about regtions. However, Chaeyeon puffed out her cheeks at her father''s words and expressed her dissatisfaction. You got it? In the first ce, because of that rule or whatever, I have no intention of dating a boyfriend at least until I graduate from college! Dad, who looks at her words like that. But soon, as if he had forgotten, he made a fuss and shouted at Chaeyeon''s back as she entered the room. ah! right! Chae Yeon-ah! Next weekend, your grandfather asks you toe over for a bit. Free up time for that day! I have an assignment meeting that day! I went alone with my mom,e on! You can postpone the meeting! It''s this guy''s base! Is it important to go see your grandfather''s face, so is it important to do an assignment? ah! no! If you go there, it''splicated and dizzy, and your head hurts! I''m not going! Chae-yeon ms the door shut at her father''s nagging and enters. Watching her behavior as if she had reached puberty after bing a college student, her father nced at the tightly closed door for a moment, then turned his eyes to the TV again and muttered. Eww..... I don''t like it when my grandfather is popr, but what''s annoying and annoying and annoying like that..... She is her own daughter, but she shakes her head as if she can''t understand at all. It was a scene that could easily be witnessed in any household with a daughter, but if there was a reporter here right now, this situation was literally a huge scoop that could upy the front page of a daily newspaper. Dad will say something very sad if Chae-yeon doesnt take him again... Chae-yeons father is struggling with how to lead such an idiot. In his living room, arge picture of a friendly family hung. Mom and Dad. Chaeyeon. And among them, an elderly man with a very bright and bright smile. Unlike his family, who live in a very ordinary family, the old man was a famous person in Korea that everyone did not know. Jeon Ki-chan, the 16th president of the Republic of Korea, is a political heretic who receives infinite love and praise from the public starting from the Underworld project. And Jeon Chae-yeon, the only lovable and precious granddaughter who would not hurt even if put in the eyes of the current president. That was her true identity that only Tae-soo knew. Chapter 356 Chapter 356 The Tragedy of Group Tasks (5) Recently, the virtual reality industry is rapidly growing with a huge boom worldwide. Due to the development and prosperity of virtual reality, many existing industries suffered a fatal blow and were declining, but in return, new jobs were created and attracted attention, and the entire human society was changing at a very rapid pace. - Copsing travel industry. Tears of the world''s famous tourist destinations in decline. -The broadcasting industry is astonished at the huge drop in revenue. Controversy over cuts in celebrity fees. -The public away from TV. Recently, the craze for virtual content that the whole world is crazy about. Starting with the Fantastic Universe, which was born due to Mizunisa''s aggressive, reckless, and even ignorant indiscriminate investment of funds, numerous travel and leisure-themed virtual travel destinations are created, and the travel industry suffers a fatal blow. In addition, countless creations created with lucid dreams exploded a huge bomb in the broadcasting area. Is this crazy? The performance fee is half of what it used to be? That... what is that all of a sudden? Are you just going to cut the ads? Is it difficult to match the unit price...? What the hell is that... Didnt we finish talking about casting one person from our agency? yes? Did you just decide topletely implement this work in virtual reality? Lucid Dream, a facility that can turn your imagination into reality. As soon as the world began to know how much the production cost could be reduced differently through it, the entire paradigm of the production method of existing movies and dramas began to changepletely. Where is this! You promised me that you would make my debut in the film industry this time! Se-hyeong, one of the people who saw blood due to the paradigm shift. When he heard the news that the film production that was being promoted was suddenly overturned, he shouted at the manager with a very angry face. Ive even written the contract, but youre going to cancel it while paying a penalty here? Isn''t that manufacturer crazy? Ive already spread the press release, but if I cancel it like this and feed that water, how will I handle it in the future? Sehyung, who once enjoyed great fame as a super popr idol whomanded Korea. However, as time passed and junior idols began to step in, the light began to fade. He had prepared and waited for a long time to start a new life as an actor. When the first button went off in an instant, he was very angry, but Sehyung''s manager sat down with aplicated expression on his face and let out a big sigh. Huh..... Sehyung, let''s talk honestly. You know this is the Octopus game that was just released, right? I know. You mean that octopus head movie, right? Hundreds of people kidnapped by an unknown organization wearing octopus masks. This death survival movie, in which each of those who lived a miserable life at the bottom of society, risked their lives to y a fierce game with a huge prize money, recently brought a hot wave around the world. There are 2,124,359,231 spectators worldwide. 1 spot at the box office for the longest period of time. In the first month of its release, it reimed the top spot in all-time box office revenue worldwide. Besides that, do you know how much the production cost of that movie, which showed ridiculous levels of performance in numerous areas,pletely reced the existing rankings, and raked in a huge amount of money? Slightly taken aback by the manager''s question, who spoke in a rapid-fire tone in a very excited tone, Sehyung blinked for a moment before answering with a slightly intimidated look. I dont know... how much is it? And at Sehyung''s question, the manager spread his palms out. 5.... billion? At those words, the manager vigorously shook his head from side to side. And Sehyung opened his mouth in disbelief at his words. Five million won. yes....? 55 million won? Sehyung was startled. And he asked in an argumentative tone as if it made sense. No, does that make sense? How many special effects were put into the movie, and how many actors and extras were there? Moreover, considering the huge scale of the set, it is absolutely impossible with 5 million won. A story that makes no sense. And the manager agreed with Sehyung''s story. A meaningless level of budget that would go out just with the daily wages of passing extras without any lines. But in this Octopus game, it waspletely different. It is impossible in real life. But if all of that is an illusion, it is possible. Imagination...? okay. Illusion. No money, no recognition, no usible career... A work created by an unknown creator with only a rich imagination. Octopus game. The only money he spent making this movie alone without anyone''s support or help was just 5 million won for living and food expenses during the production period of 4 months. With that many manpower, a huge and vast set, the need to direct dozens of times the actors you picture in your head, and the tricky coordination of the location and the need for paperwork, everything ispletely created andpleted in one persons head. It''s done. And that without any support or investment. The birth of an enormous super-popr IP that has earned trillions of dors and will continue to earn more in the future. However, the film industry was literally astonished at the fact that neither enormous capital nor technology, nor the acting skills of famous actors nor the directing skills of a filming team were required to create these creations. Since the Octopus game was born, it must be difficult for other investors to understand that investing tens of billions of dors to make a movie that might be sessful. If you do well, you can make astronomical profits with minimal capital. But until now it was like this... Until now, it was like that. But not in the future. The manager who cuts off Sehyung and speaks dryly and coldly. He stood up and told Sehyeong about this heartless and cold reality that had changed overnight. Now it seems that the public and the world havee to a situation where they dont care about actors fame and acting skills. Hyung Se-ah, I feel bad about this, but... I think it would be better to look for a different career path. The world was changing so rapidly. Rather than actors in movies and dramas, which are real but clearly fictional stories. It''s an illusion, but more than anyone else, I''m enthusiastic about virtual characters who live in a world that feels like reality. People paid attention to those who have more original and rich imagination than anyone else and the stories they create. called creators. To so many real'' people around the world. * * * The forerunner of all reals and the real of reals. Jaekyun Lim. He had a very hazy expression on his face as he watched Chae-yeon, who was sitting in her own room and chattering about something with herptop in front of her. Jaekyun. Jaegyun? Are you listening to me? huh....? Yes....? In his head, Jae-gyun was envisioning a brilliant future with Chae-yeon decadester. Jaekyun, who had even imagined his future grandson and returned to reality, hurriedly wiped the saliva from his mouth and smacked his lips. Im sorry. missed it for a second what were you talking about? Comparing the data you and Jaeyoung investigated with the data Taesu and I investigated, there were some contradictions. I asked what you think about these things. okay....? Wait a minute... Jaekyun, who was checking the parts Chaeyeon had marked with narrow eyes, soon realized what she was talking about and nodded his head confidently as he opened his mouth. ah. This is what Professor Taehoon Kim talked about before. There is a thesis that analyzes the efficiency and dynamics of synchro rate and implementation ability in the process of using lucid dream, and a result that there is a significant corrtion has been derived. .. Jae-Gyun, who exins quite high-level theories and rted papers. Chae-yeon, who had been listening to his story with a serious face, smiled broadly and shouted as if she understood it now. ah! So, I got thepletely opposite result. Well, when I was researching, I didn''t think about the efficiency rted to the synchro rate, but if I substitute the number of non-conforming people with low efficiency, your data will be correct. Jaegyun as expected! amazing! Jae-kyun''s shoulders go up at Chae-yeon''s words of praise with a thumbs up. Heughed and scratched his head. lol. I had a hard time reading through each and every paper. Jaekyun proudly points to the piles of books and printed papers in one corner. Seeing this, Chaeyeon looked at Jaekyun with a startled look and said, really? Did you really write all of this by yourself? Jaeyoung isnt doing anything? Yes....? Oh no. No, what is it? I can see it just by looking at it. Hehehe..... Jaekyun smiles awkwardly at Chaeyeons knowing words. Chaeyeon, who looked at him gently, nodded as if she understood. Well... I don''t really have anything to say about your partner either. It was the day we were finalizing the report, but Tae-soo had suddenly fallen out because he had an affair. In the midst of the assignment, he still participated hard by pretending to help. However, today, the day when the final report was to bepleted, he was suddenly notified of his absence. why? What''s going on? When Tae-soo''s story came out, Jae-gyun flinched momentarily. However, Chaeyeon shrugged her shoulders at his question. I don''t know? There is an event in the house that I have to participate in or something... Im not interested. okay....? Yeah..... ..... In an awkward silence as they momentarily run out of things to say to each other. While Jaekyun was struggling with what to say in this situation, Chaeyeon packed her things and stood up. Then, it seems to have been sorted out to some extent, so Ill wake up first. I decided to run my friends part-time job as a pinch hitter tonight. Are you going already? Jaekyun makes an expression of regret too openly. However, seeing him like that, Chaeyeon smiled and answered with a yful tap on the shoulder. ter. I''m on vacation now, so if you have time, would you like to go see a movie together? W A movie? huh. Is that octopus game? I haven''t seen that yet. Then Chaeyeon whispered in his ear with a charming voice. I was saving it on purpose to see it with you. At those words, Jaekyun''s face turned red. Chae-yeon waved at Jae-gyun, enjoying his restless reaction knowingly or knowingly, then opened the front door and left. Tiririk. After she left, Jae-gyun was left alone. Then he grabbed his chest with one hand and took a deep breath. Haa..... Even just seeing her face, just being with her, even hearing her voice, her heart beats involuntarily. However, when he heard what Chaeyeon had just said, Jaekyun''s heart started beating like crazy to the point of worrying whether it was really about to explode. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Jaekyun started tough while crouching on the floor alone like someone who had gone out of his mind. Theughter started to grow louder, and soon the floor started to burst intoughter. Keuhehehehe... hehehehehehehehehe. Watching a movie together with Chaeyeon. Jae-kyun, who was filled with happiness and felt this pounding heart that made himugh just by imagining it, soon heard the doorbell ring loudly. huh? what....? A doorbell that doesn''t normally ring. However, Jae-kyun, who opened the front door inadvertently thinking that the delivery he ordered would arrive soon, froze when he saw three people standing in front of him. female. Are you Jaekyun? Men with strong physiques wearing ck suits and shiny shoes. Seeing the men he had never seen before, smiling and calling out their names, with rugged faces that looked unusual at first nce, Jae-kyun smelled the typical predators that were hunting for their prey. Sir.....'' Jae -gyun, who was always in the prey of being eaten by predators, realized that he was being fucked in a realm close to instinct. Feeling the intent to kill emanating from them with all the senses of the body. Chapter 357 Chapter 357 The Tragedy of Group Assignments (6) Are you Jaekyung? I already knew everything, so it doesn''t matter if I say no. Three unidentified people slowly approaching him with a smirk on their faces. Although they had never met before, Jaekyun naturally sensed through his previous experience that these mysterious uninvited guests came to him with impure intentions. Don''t make a fuss for nothing, let''s quietly follow us. I have something to tell you. Its not a big deal, so dont be too scared. This bastard froze when we saw this. Quack. It would be better not to engage in any strange tricks. I didn''t even ask them toe in, but three big guys squeezed into their own room. Jae-gyun, who was surrounded by them in an instant and missed the timing to escape, soon began to ponder the current situation in his head. Where else did the intelligence departmente to kidnap you...?'' Jae-kyun, who already had a simr history once. Recalling the memory of being dramatically rescued by the US military while being forcibly taken from Busan to Japan by the Japanese intelligence department, he recalled all sorts of inferences. There''s no way they sent it from Japan again..... China? Mossad? KGB?'' Jae-kyun recalls all the intelligence agencies he knows. However, unlike the agents of the intelligence agency he had met before, the impression of the three people in front of him was something vulgar and rough. eww. This baby is fucking nasty. What kind of perverted figure do you carry around with you? Quack. Brother, is that the problem? All of theic books on the bookshelf here are about beautiful girls. Jaekyun is maniacally perusing cultures of all genres. Looking around his room filled with minor items that are hard to understand by the general public, those who giggled andughed at each other, made a mistake without realizing it. Anyway, I hatepeting with this bastard and some kind of girl... After saying that, Man-shik hurriedly shuts his mouth with an expression of regret. However, Jaekyun, who had clearly heard his words, asked back with an iprehensible face. Competing with women...? What do you mean? What are you talking about, bastard? He pretends to be calm, but he clearly looks flustered. And while looking at the other two exchanging nces with meaningful expressions, Jaekyun''s head began to spin more fiercely and faster than ever. The only girl I like is Chae-yeon... If there is someone who likes Chae-yeon and ispeting with me... Kang Tae-soo...? Except for him, there was no other person on this who could match what they said, so Jae-kyun asked with an enlightened face. Are you sure you are the people sent by the governor? Kang Tae-soo. He had a crush on Chae-yeon since high school andpletely destroyed the men who approached her without caring about anyone. Jae-gyun, who had been harassed by Tae-soo''s gang, shouted with a confident face. What the hell kind of bullshit is that? Right! It''s true that Tae-soo sent it! I know everything! ..... In front of him, who is in denial, Jae-kyun pursues him with a proud face as if he has solved an extremely difficult riddle. And one person who was looking at Man-shik, who couldn''t answer his words properly, immediately put a fist into Jae-gyun''s abdomen with a hideous frown. pug. Jae-gyun was suddenly hit in the abdomen with a fist. Unable to make a sound with his eyes wide open at the sudden onset of pain, he copsed on the floor and groaned. And his anger soon returned to Man-shik, who made a mistake. m. A blow that came flying strong. Man-shik, who involuntarily turned his head around, could see the stars because of the tingling pain, but he soon lowered his head and said, knowing how big of a mistake his momentary mistake was. Im sorry, brother. Apologize faster than anyone else. However, he, who was called Big Brother, continued to scratch Mansik''s ear after that, as if his anger was not resolved at all. this. baby that. Even the tongue. properly. Jailer too. Because I can''t. work. miss it? The palm that flies every time you say a word. As the p without mercy began to exceed dozens of times, Man-sik''s nosebleeds and lips were all swollen, and his face was soon covered in blood. Kreurreuk ..... Man-sik making a strange sound and dripping blood. He barely came back to his senses when he reached a level close to fainting, and he passed it on to the person standing next to him with a very nervous face as if he was annoyed. Youngchun, take good care of this bastard from now on. After this job, before I soak this bastard myself. Oh, I see, bro. sorry. In that brief moment, Youngchun supports and supports Manshik, who almost lost consciousness and became a super corpse. He sighed inwardly as he saw the mad dog Yeong-gil, who was still raging in front of him. Ha..... This is my eyes again.'' Young-gil is the leader of the Dongmyeong faction and is called a mad dog. Realizing that the switch had been turned on, Yeongchun, who is notorious for his anger control disorder and for notoriously rushing at him when he got it wrong, watched him talking to his target lying on the floor with a nervous look on his face. Did you understand roughly what the current situation is like...? Jae-kyun, who saw with his own eyes that his colleague was also mercilessly beaten up. Overwhelmed by Young-gil, who was spewing out a whole lot of heartfelt murderousness that waspletely different from before, he trembled and couldn''t even make eye contact. There is someone who wants to talk to you, so we will take you. There are a lot of people outside, so pretend to be natural so you don''t get noticed by people by making a fuss. If you make it loud and make things go wrong... Suug. Young-gil pulls out arge, blue-edged gray knife from his chest. And he murmured in a small voice full of sincerity. Ill pick your own on the spot. ...? why? Do you think you can''t? Anyway, if I kill one of you, the only thing that goes into the bread is. Young-gil smiles as if it is nothing. Looking at his expression, Jaekyun realized. Unlike the previous kidnappers who tried to get him to Japan somehow, they had no interest in his safety. Ugh... Jaekyun couldnt say anything and kept shaking his body. Young-gil, realizing that he waspletely overwhelmed, lifted him up with a smile. I have a car parked right in front of me, so dont think about doing anything weird and follow me. There is no one to help, so don''t have any strange hopes. Young-gil smiles as if he has already prepared everything. The moment he opens the door and takes Jae-kyun outside. They all froze when they saw one person at the door. who are you? Chae-yeon, who had just arrived and looked at Young-gil with a puzzled look, made a gesture as if she was about to knock on the door. With a very embarrassed face, she nced at the three people in ck suits in Jae-kyun''s room, where she had left just 30 minutes ago. Chaeyeon-ah! When Jaekyun asked urgently as if he hadn''t expected such a situation, she said with a confused expression. I left one of the materials for an assignment and came to pick it up. By the way, Jaekyun, what is the situation now? Who are these people here? Three unidentified people who give off a suspicious look. Looking at them suspiciously, Jaekyun rolled his eyes. Ugh... thats... A situation where he is worried about not knowing what to say. But at that time, Young-gil smiled warmly and opened his mouth first. ha ha ha. We are Jaekyuns uncles. Uncle...is...? okay. Jaekyun''s grandmother passed away suddenly. I came here because I had to take him in a hurry. I had to go to the funeral home in my hometown for a while. Since I have to go all the way down there, it might be hard to get in touch with Jae-kyun for a while. Young-gil appeals to the fact that he has to go to the funeral while adjusting his ck suit. It was a story made up of a momentary wit, but a situation that people who don''t know would probably pass over. However, Chaeyeon had a surprisingly sharp side. But why is that person''s face so bloody...? Man-shik''s cheeks are flushed red, his lips are cracked, his nose is bleeding, and his blood is flowing. Looking at the bloodstains on his face and in his room, Chae-yeon asked, and Young-gil was also speechless. Uh... that''s... After a moment of awkward silence flowed. Yeong-gil let out an exaggeratedugh and said. Heh heh heh! This kid identally fell and hit his face on the floor earlier in the room. So it''s bloody like that, but it''s not a big deal. Just buy and buy. ....is that so? Manshik looks too bad to be just an ident. When Chae-yeon, who had been staring at him nkly, shut her mouth, Young-gil secretly looked at Jae-gyun and left the door. Hey... Im sorry, but were so busy right now... Jaekyun and I will go out first, so can you find the assignments and close the door? Those who are too busy trying to leave the room. Chae-yeon, who briefly met Jae-kyun''s eyes as they were pushed out, spoke to the backs of those leaving. Hey, but you know what? Chaeyeon went to the same school as Jaekyun since high school. Although it was not such a deep and close rtionship, she knew more about Jae-gyun than she thought as she talked with him and the rtionship continued aftering to university. Jae-gyun doesnt live here because his maternal grandmother died when he was young. tall. At that moment, Yeong-gil, who was hurriedly walking to get out of this ce, stopped. Jae-gyun has two uncles on his maternal side. One said that he lives in America, and I know the other because I saw him in a photo before. Besides, both of Jaekyuns parents are from Seoul. I heard that you have lived in the metropolitan area ever since your grandfather was born, but where the heck did you take him so you can''t see him for a while? A very suspicious situation. I don''t know what''s going on, but Chae-yeon, who couldn''t ignore Jae-kyun''s terrified face as if desperately asking for help, looked at them with sharp eyes and said, You guys... what the hell are you? and that moment. Yeong-gil''s expression was sternly distorted, like that of a vicious criminal. These damn bastards...'' Even if things get twisted, it''s a situation that makes me wonder if it can get twisted like this. Realizing that the situation had already gone in an irreversible direction, Young-gil immediately recalled a bleak thought in his head. Do you take care of all these bastards here?'' Originally, Jae-gyun, who had nned to get rid of this world without anyone knowing. It wouldn''t be much of a problem to deal with him here now, but the girl who was looking at them suspiciously was different. No..... If that''s the case, the rtionship between the Dongmyeong faction and Yuhan Construction could be further strained.'' The situation where all of this happened because of that girl in the first ce. So, with thisplex thread in front of him that could not be solved at all, Young-gil pondered for a while and made a decision. Guys. Yes bro. Young-gil calls his servants, Man-sik and Young-chun, in a cold voice as if he has made up his mind on something. Then, he pointed his finger at Chaeyeon, who was looking straight at him with sharp eyes. That year, he wille with us. bring it. Chapter 358 Chapter 358 The Tragedy of Group Assignment (7) Uh. So, did you manage your work well? Kim Chun-bae, the leader of Dongmyeong-pa. He asked as he saw Chief Kim and Young-gil hurriedly entering the office. However, in response to his question, Chief Kim said with a firm expression. Brother, we have a problem. problem....? Young-gil exins the current situation to Chun-bae''s puzzled question. Chunbae, who had been silently listening to his story, frowned as if he was troubled. So you meant to secretly bring that guy named Jae-gyun, but in the middle of doing so, a girl named Chae-yeon identally witnessed the situation? That''s right. I obviously broke up and even confirmed that the bastard left the room and started working, but things went wrong because I left something and came back. So... you just brought them both? Are you afraid that if you leave it alone, you will report it to the police right away and mess things up for no reason? ....I have no face. Young-gil lowers his head and shuts his mouth at Chun-bae''s words. Chunbae, who was looking at him like that, looked at Chief Kim who was standing behind him with a serious face and said. How do you feel about this situation? Chief Kim, who had been arguing that he should leave this job to himself. However, as if he hadn''t expected such an unexpected situation, he kept his mouth firmly shut like a mute who had eaten honey. It''s a situation where our immature youngster brought the girl he adores along with him. That boy was supposed to be quietly buried somewhere no one knows anyway, so it wouldn''t matter, but the other side is a different story, isn''t it? It is possible to go against Tae-soo, the sessor of Yuhan Construction, but it is also impossible to let go of the only person who witnessed Jae-gyun being kidnapped. So, while Chunbae and Chief Kim were struggling with how to deal with this, Yeonggil carefully opened his mouth with a very embarrassed face. There... there is one more problem. What problem? Young-gil was hesitant to say this. However, he soon let out a deep sigh and began to reveal all about what had happened in Jae-gyun''s room. And Chunbae and Chief Kim''s expressions began to distort more and more, as if they had made a promise. So... I think the two of them noticed that Tae-soo instigated this incident because one of the kids made a mistake with his tongue? I guess so. Sir... Manager Kim and Chunbae swear at Younggils words. The two then looked into each other''s eyes and nodded meaningfully. Chairman, I think it would be better to quietly bury this incident. Is that what you think? yes. Even if it''s a girl that the immature youngster likes, it''s bound to be a big problem unless you properly control her mouth. In particr, considering the fame and fame that this guy named Lim Jae-gyun has, it is best to eliminate any potential threat. Chief Kim, who nned this work to buy Tae-soo''s favor. However, when things went like this, he gave up Tae-soo more quickly and calmly than anyone else and spoke strongly to Chun-bae. Anyway, the evidence that the governor is closely involved in this incident is in our hands. No matter how much we hold grudge against us, we cannot move easily, and if President Kang Man-cheol finds out about this fact, he will try to bury this situation quietly rather than us. The president of Yuhan Construction, a mid-sized constructionpany in Korea with a capital of hundreds of billions, and Tae-soo''s parents, who hold the title of chief prosecutor at the Seoul District Prosecutor''s Office. Chunbae nodded, remembering who would have the most to lose in the aftermath if this situation spread to the world. That is not true. They''ll probably do their best to cover up the incident even more than we do. Instead, it is clear that he will hold a grudge against this incident. Chun-bae expresses regret over the ident that happened while trying to strengthen his rtionship with Yuhan Construction... no, with the Kang Man-cheol family. However, as if he had made up his mind soon, he spoke to Chief Kim and Young-gil. Did you say Jaekyun and Chaeyeon? Younggil made both of them impossible to find. Thoroughly deal with it so that no trace of it can be found, and bury it so that it can be done with certainty. Also, dontplicate things by making weird mistakes. Chief Kim went to Yuhan Construction and showed his face and exined the situation in person. It''s an unavoidable situation, so if you don''t want to be dragged to hell together, I ask you to cooperate with the internal crackdown so that you don''t do anything stupid. Without blinking an eye, Chun-bae gives the order to kill both of them without anyone knowing. However, at his terrible order, Young-gil and Chief Kim nodded their heads so calmly. All right. I will consult with Yuhan Construction regarding this matter and report back to you, Chairman. Chunbae looked at the two as they said goodbye and left their room. He yelled at Young-gil behind him as if he had forgotten one. Oh, and bring that bastard who messed up like this by making fun of his tongue in front of me sooner orter. I will cut out that tongue myself. ...Once again, I apologize. I''m sorry bro. At those words, Young-gil bows 90 degrees, apologizes, closes the door, and disappears. Chunbae, who was left alone in the room, pondered something, then took out a cigar from the desk drawer and asked. Huh... Enjoying the strong cigar smoke filling his mouth, he closed his eyes with a very calm face. He had no idea what the consequences of the decision he had just made would be. * * * Jeon Chan Chan, the 16th President of the Republic of Korea. Due to the enormousme duck that started due to the ipetence of the previous president, he seeded in recapturing the government more easily than expected and was elected president. However, the administration of state affairs was not so easy as expected. Shortly after being elected, countless corruptions and scandals erupted from surrounding figures. In addition, due to all sorts of big and small social issues, his approval rating fell into abyss in an instant, but through one opportunity, he gained national support at a phenomenal level that could be called a miracle beyond resurrection. [I will make sure that no one is saddened by not having a home in this country. I willpletely solve this ever-soaring real estate problem, risking all my political life. We will create Underworld, a city of 10 million people, deep underground in Seoul, the capital of 10 million people!] Project Underworld This top-secret project was promoted in cooperation with the Azin Group. A project that has been steadfastly pursued despite sabotage by the entire legitive branch, regardless of vested interests and opposition parties. This put him at risk of being impeached, but he survived. No, he was able to be a highly respected president with an enormous national support that no previous president had achieved. - 93% approval rating of President Jeon Chan. An unrealistic figure close tomunism. - The most popr president in history. The reason for this is the liquidation of Korea''s chronic real estate problems. - A president who has omnipotent power to do anything. The foundation is strong public response. Although some of the vested interests became the most hated and hated, President Jeon Chan-chan, who received tremendous praise and support from the majority of ordinary and poor working people. He was busy running state affairs and was having a day like yesterday. Regarding the summit with the United States, there are a few issues that need to be confirmed and decided upon by the President. First of all, regarding the n to further expand the military base in rtion to the recent ROK-US alliance... He was flipping through papers with a tired face while receiving a briefing at a gathering of the chief of staff and other aides. However, when he heard a sudden vibrating sound from his pants, he looked around and secretly took his phone out of his pocket to check the contents. This is...? President Jeon Chan, startled and unknowingly, jumped up from his seat. His sudden action made the chief of staff and other aides look puzzled. President? What are you doing? The chief of staff asked if there was any problem. However, President Jeon Ki-chan continued to look at his cell phone with a serious face and then looked at everyone and said. It is nothing. Rather... can we put off the meeting for half an hour? It''s because I''m dizzy for a moment. The assistants who intuitively sensed that there was something with their eyes. That''s why the chief of staff looked at the president with a confused expression and then nodded and said, All right. Then we''ll take a break outside and wait for you, Mr. President. Employees rushing away at the chief secretary''s beckoning. In the Oval Office left alone, President Jeon Chan-chan said in a small voice after carefully confirming that he was the only person in the room two or three times. Argus. and that moment. Hisputer, which had the seal of the phoenix, which symbolizes the Blue House, was painted ck, and soon several texts began to appear. -Level 3 Administrator Jeon Chan Jeon, President of the Republic of Korea. Confirmed. Argos, a super-artificial intelligence system that is the core of the Eye of Argos project that detects and analyzes all information in the world, and is the mother of Alice, which operates Arcadia, a virtual reality. When he answered the call, President Jeon Chan asked with a puzzled face. What do you mean the message sent to the cell phone now? My granddaughter is in danger? A message that has just arrived on your phone. It was none other than Argos'' warning about his granddaughter, Chaeyeon. -I am obligated to warn and take all possible measures in the event of imminent danger to the manager and other important rtives. In ordance with that order, I have notified my watchdog of the relevant detections. President Jeon Chan who has very recently been granted level 3 administrator authority to this Argos system by the U.S. government. In fact, it is safe to say that there is no information that can be obtained from the vast amount of data of Argos, which he monitors the world''s informationwork, but there are cases where various information can be confirmed under very specific conditions. And the present situation was just such a case. Then exin exactly where my granddaughter is and why she is in danger. -All right. Argos started pouring out a lot of information on the electric president''s monitor. It was information collected from all over the ce, but as the puzzle pieces were intertwined and put together one by one, a huge conspiracy that no one would know about in this reality began to reveal its true nature. So you mean you did this to solidify the connection between Dongmyeongpa and Yuhan Construction and to cut off the rtionship between Chaeyeon and the boy named Jaekyun? Did Chae-yeon end up in danger because she identally witnessed him being kidnapped? -That''s right. Huh..... A story that is too absurd and absurd just to hear it. But there was no time for this because things were going so fast right now. -The current manager''s granddaughter has been confirmed to have an 88% chance of being killed. We advise you to take immediate action. Argos tells her to rescue her granddaughter right now. Then, finally, she disappeared by providing a map of somewhere in Seoul where her location was confirmed. ..... Theputer returned to normal again. However, looking at the newly created folder on the desktop, he was able to remind himself that the conversation he had just had was not a dream. And at that moment, the chief of staff and his assistants open the door and carefully re-enter. They immediately flinched and stopped when they saw the electric president sitting with a very serious and scary expression on his face. Hey... Mr. President. Did anything displease you? The chief of staff carefully asks questions with a gun on his arm. The president did not answer his question. I just jumped up from my seat and gave notice. Im sorry, but please cancel all ns for today. ...? There is still a lot of work to be done. It would have been impossible if it hadn''t been for a dire situation, as there were many urgent meetings and agendas that werepeting for time, but the President''s words after that were like detonating a bomb. I got a tip that my granddaughter was kidnapped. yes....? What is that...? The chief of staff and his aides looked very puzzled. But the president ordered them in a very cold and bloody voice as if he was not joking. Immediately, call the head of the bodyguard, the head of the National Intelligence Service, the head of the Capital Defense Command, or the head of the National Police Agency, whoever has the authority and responsibility to resolve this issue. Chapter 359 Chapter 359 The Fear of Power (1) The Presidential Security Service, a unique professional security agency and special force agency responsible for the safety and safety of the President and other family members. Although its light has faded a lot recently, this ce, which also yed a role as a key center of power in the past, still boasts an enormous prestige and prestige while handling and handling numerous confidential information as an institution under the direct control of the president. Each member of the agency protects the entire Blue House, which is filled with highly trained members of the armed forces and talented people with excellent technology and intelligence, protects key personnel, and is the only one legally permitted to carry and use firearms, except for the military and police. The Presidential Security Service, a national institution. However, Yoo Hyun-sang, head of the National Security Agency, who is now in charge of this organization, was dragged into the president''s office without knowing why and faced him with a stunned face sitting in front of him with a hard face. With themander of the capital''s defense and the director of the National Intelligence Service, who entered with the same pale expression as himself. The reason I called must have already beenmunicated to the chief of staff, right? That''s right. Yes..... The three of them entered the Blue House after understanding the situation to some extent. So, knowing how serious the situation is now and how angry the President Jeon Chan sitting in front of them is, the three couldn''t even look at his eyes properly. I wont ask about anything else superfluous. We have too little time to care about who is responsible and how it happened. An unprecedented situation in history where a rtive of the current president of the Republic of Korea and his precious granddaughter were kidnapped by an unknown gang. The head of the National Security Agency or the head of the National Intelligence Service, who was directly responsible for this, flinched momentarily at the words of President Jeon Jeon-chan, but he did not care and spoke to them. Report everything you have learned so far. It''s been less than an hour since I checked the rted situation. However, befitting the director of the National Intelligence Service and the chief of the National Security Agency, who deal with all ssified information and intelligence in the Republic of Korea, they had grasped more information than expected in that short period of time. As far as we confirmed, those who kidnapped Miss Chaeyeon were confirmed to be members of a gang known as the Dongmyeongpa, which is known to operate in the Gangnam area of Seoul. We are currently taking over and analyzing detailed intelligence about the organization from the police, and we are still in the process of figuring out their exact purpose. We found out that the CCTVs at the ce where Miss Chaeyeon was kidnapped were disabled in advance, so we are urgently collecting and checking the surrounding ck boxes. If we put together the information we have currently obtained... The information confirmed while exposing even themunication records in that short time. Among them, President Jeon Ki-chan instantly put on a bewildered expression when a fact he did not know came out of the chief of security. Chaeyeon went to her boyfriends room to y...? ording to the results of checking themunication records, it is. At the very end, the message Chaeyeon exchanged with her best friend. Showing a copy of the message written in it, the chief security officer continued the story with a slightly apologetic tone. There has been a recent spike in cases of Chaeyeon deliberately ostracizing her bodyguards, and this seems to have been the main reason. We talked to each other as close friends, but looking at it now, it doesnt seem like that. Ummm..... A record of the messages written and sent by Chaeyeon. The word boyfriend'' written on it. Looking at it, several keywords began to pass through President Jeon Ki-chan''s head. Chaeyeon..... Boyfriend... Homemade... Homework for the two of us...?'' A situation that I dare not tolerate as a grandfather. However, Lee Chae was young in his eyes when he confirmed the identity information of the existence of the boyfriend. This guy who says hes the boyfriend... Does something look familiar? A picture I''ve seen somewhere. Then, as if waiting, the director of the National Intelligence Service intervened and nodded to President Jeon Ki-chan''s muttering. That''s right. This person had a history of being almost kidnapped by the Japanese government just a few months ago. Gando: An illegal kidnapping operation by the Japanese intelligence agency that wasrgely secretly carried out in Korea. As a result, President Jeon Ki-chan also strongly protested and conceived of direct measures, so he muttered with his eyes wide open as if he was surprised that the memory was vivid. Huh..... A guy like this is dating our Chaeyeon? Nobody even knows? He may be superior in ability, but in terms of appearance, Jae-gyun is so poor that no one can be liked by him. The fact that Chae-yeon identally got caught up in this kidnapping while he was with him made President Jeon Chan feel unknown annoyance. This is why I nag you to be careful with men, but...'' President Jeon Chan-chan, who went around telling Chae-yeon that there is no man you can trust in this world. It was an advice given out of love by a grandfather who cherishes his granddaughter, but hepletely ignored his advice and acted on his own, shaking hisplicated head thinking about the woman who eventually got into an ident. A talented person who had excellent talent in virtual reality technology and almost was forcibly kidnapped by a foreign intelligence agency, and the granddaughter of the current president were kidnapped at the same time... Isnt this amon situation? That''s right. The two people answer the president''s question at the same time as if they had promised. And they spoke in unison with serious faces. Current estimates by NIS analysts suggest that another government may be behind it. It seems that Japan will not try to do such unreasonable things in session, and it is judged that it may have been instigated by China, Russia... or North Korea. Considering that Miss Jeon Chae-yeons identity has never been exposed to the general public or the media, this case is understood to have a greater purpose and a malicious conspiracy, unlike ordinary kidnappings. In order to kidnap the family members of the incumbent president and use this as a means of intimidation in order to achieve their ownrger goals... Dongmyeong-pa''s act of treason against a country that will never be forgiven for what it has done this time. It is an act no different from an interest coup. Of course, President Jeon Chan, who knew all about how this happened through Argos, knew that the story these two were talking about was nothing more than an absurd fantasy novel, but he didn''t say anything. Rather, he agreed with them and nodded his head. The only thing that mattered to him now was to safely rescue his precious granddaughter by any means necessary. Then, from what you think, all of this is being manipted behind the scenes by a country we dont understand... What do you mean? From what we understand, yes. It is very likely. The aftermath is too big for a normal criminal organization to deal with. So, when the two nodded at the words of President Jeon Chan, he pondered for a while and then called a person who hadn''t said anything. Capital Defense Commander. lieutenant general! Cheoljoong Kim! Just give me orders! Lieutenant General Kim Cheol-joong, themander of the capital''s defense, was listening to the whole situation as he stood with a stiff face next to the head of the bodyguard and the head of the National Intelligence Service. President Jeon Jeon-chan said to him like that. You must have heard what the Director of the National Intelligence Service and the Director of the National Security Agency just said, right? That''s right! A situation has arisen that poses a serious threat to the security and national interests of the Republic of Korea. Under normal circumstances, I would not have borrowed the power of the military, but unless I could confirm the exact purpose of these people, I decided that preventive preemptive measures were necessary to prevent additional risks. So I called themander. ...? The three of them cast a puzzled look as if asking what they were talking about. To them, President Jeon Chan dered. From the present time, we will regard the criminal organization Dongmyeong-pa as a group of traitors with the purpose of colluding with enemy countries to destroy the constitutional order of the Republic of Korea and cause serious harm to national interests. yes....? Now that word... Strictly speaking, the police should intervene. However, President Jeon Ki-chan was looking at this issue from a slightly more special perspective. As of this time, I will use all the powers the Constitution andws grant me as President to root out this chatan group quickly, urately and thoroughly. All operations carried out from now on will be treated as strict military secrets, and the Capital Defense Command, the National Intelligence Service, and the Presidential Security Service must all cooperate to find and punish all personnel involved in this transfer by mobilizing all avable means and methods. It is not a slightly radical criminal organization, but a spy group aimed at overthrowing the Republic of Korea and destroying the constitutional order. If you refuse to surrender and resist, you can kill all involved. Please do everything in your power to safely rescue my granddaughter and her abductees. That''s how the cost of some people''s foolish choices started toe back. With a huge aftermath that no one can handle. * * * A month-long neighborhood in Seoul. Jae-gyun and Chae-yeon were imprisoned in a ce full of empty houses and abandoned buildings that were all copsing. Im sorry, Chaeyeon. It''s just because of me... Jaekyun muttered an apology and apologized for the stretch despite being left on a cold concrete floor while being tied together. He was more anxious because he was in a dangerous situation where they had no idea what would happen to them in the future, but strangely, Chaeyeon was so calm. Don''t be too sorry. It''s not that you did anything wrong, it''s because Tae-soo is aplete madman. Chae-yeon heard from Jae-gyun that all of this seemed to be the work of Tae-soo. And she believed it so easily. I was obsessed with it, but I didnt expect it toe this far. More than that, I think I heard that Tae-soo lives well at home, but to think he had something to do with these scary men..... If he had epted this confession, it would have been a real big deal, right? Chae-yeon is relieved saying that it''s fortunate that she didn''t date her as if she didn''t know at all. Even Jae-gyun asked with a very absurd face at her reaction. Chae Yeon-ah, but is that important right now? Tough men who left their arms and legs tied with ropes in an abandoned house and disappeared somewhere. Jae-gyun''s face was distorted with nervousness because he had to untangle the rope and run away as soon as possible because he didn''t know when they woulde back and what to do with them. Somehow, I have to untie this rope and find a way to escape... Jaekyun, who cant even lift a finger, struggles to somehow. However, he suddenly froze at the strange smell of shampoo wafting in front of him. Jaekyun, can you see my headband? Chae-yeon rolled her body and came right in front of Jae-gyun. Seeing the back of Chae-yeon, who hade right in front of his eyes, and Jae-gyun''s smell of hers, his head went nk for an instant. Jaekyun? Jaegyun? Are you listening to me? Jae-gyun, who had been in a daze for a while, suddenly came to his senses at Chae-yeon''s call. He immediately responded in surprise. Uh... uh! I''m listening. what''s the matter? If you look closely, there is a strange switch on my headband. Can you see it? Switch? Chaeyeon''s headband in the shape of a w pin, which is just trending. However, Jae-kyun, who looked very closely, was able to find a very exquisitely hidden switch there. See Bo! There''s a strange pressure here... Yes there. Can you press that down? what....? Chaeyeon''s insane request to suddenly press the switch on the headband. Jaekyun made a stupid expression for a moment, then looked down at his arms and said. But, my hands... You can do it with your mouth, with your mouth. With this mouth...? uh. Do it with your mouth. A situation where a huge misunderstanding (?) would ur if you were just listening to the conversation. Jaekyun buried his face in Chaeyeon''s hair with a blushing face and wrestled with her for a long time before pressing the switch and a small red LED from her headband began to glow. All right! What kind of light came on? okay? thank god. Then you can just wait. Chae-yeon is relieved when the lightes on. Jaekyun, taken aback by her words, asked with a meaningful look in his eyes. Chae Yeon-ah, what the hell is that? that? A location tracking device. A location tracking device...? Yeah. Now we just have to wait. Seeing her smiling and rxing even when she was kidnapped and hiding a location tracking device in her headband, Jaekyun realized. He said that the girl in front of him might be more insane than he imagined. Chapter 360 Chapter 360 Fear of Power (2) Kang Man-cheol, president of Yuhan Construction. With a heartless and cold-blooded personality who would do anything for his own benefit, he did countless dirty things without blinking an eye to grow thepany. Poor construction using defective materials and cheap Chinese materials is basic, and Kang Man-cheol was abusive in nonpliance with safety regtions and tricks to shorten the construction period. As the days went by, he became more and more out of line, and in the end, he bribed public officials in charge of permits and permits, received all sorts of preferential treatment, and received contracts for construction projects that left huge profits. They drove it out and pushed away thest remaining nest. Although he was cursed and hated by countless people as he walked through the mud full of dirty and stinky smells, he eventually became the president of a mid-sized constructionpany worth hundreds of billions of won with hundreds of employees. However, thepany''s recent situation has not been as good as expected. We will start an emergency meeting about the new city development we have been promoting this time. First of all, I would like to report on the current situation. As most of the holdings have not been sold due to sluggish demand, most of thepany''s funds have been exhausted, and management of debt assets has reached a dangerous level. Therefore... The real estate market and construction industry were almost devastated by the Underworld project. Apartment prices, which skyrocketed every day, froze at some point and then fell frighteningly quickly, and at the same time, buyers who wanted to buypletely disappeared, and only sellers trying to sell somehow disappeared. We are attracting tenants by promising as many benefits as possible for the unsold stock, but most people are currently interested in the underground residentialplex that Ajin Construction will announce, and the real estate market, which has entered a plummeting trend, also forces consumers to keep a wait-and-see attitude. .... A development project with apany fund of 150 billion won. However, as much as 60% of the items were left unattended without finding the owner due to the announcement of supply at the level of an enormous quantity bomb that could amodate 10 million people in the future and the real estate market price going down without knowing the bottom. If we can''t handle that volume, thepany will face a cash crunch. In addition, if the maturity of the loan, which will arrive in six months, is not processed on time, the worst case scenario could even lead to bankruptcy. Kang Man-cheol is faced with a great difficulty that must be solved by risking life and death. But before he had time to think about this, a secretary suddenly came into the conference room and whispered in his ear. I... boss. A guest has arrived. customer? who? President Kang Man-cheol asks with a questionable face because there is no one he is supposed to meet today. To his question, the secretary shrugged his shoulders as if he didn''t know. I dont know either. If you just say Chief Kim, you''ll know... President Kang Man-cheol''s face hardened for an instant at those words. However, he nodded his head with an understanding look in his eyes and immediately got up from his seat. I have work, so I will be away for a while. Never mind me and you guys can discuss a solution to this problem among yourselves. President Kang Man-cheol, who left the conference room and arrived at the reception room guided by his secretary. He looked at a person sitting leisurely in hispany and his sharp eyes shone. Its been a while, boss. How have you been? Director Kim greets him with a natural smile while looking at himself. To others, he would have looked like an ordinary office worker with a slim figure, but it was not to President Kang Man-cheol. Chief Kim came to visit me personally...? Why the hell...?'' The one who yed the most key role in raising the Dongmyeong-pa, which was just a small gang of gangsters, into a huge dark organization that rules Seoul. As an excellent strategist and at the same time a scheming negotiator and schemer, he copsed and destroyed numerous rival organizations and established himself as the undisputed second-inmand of the Dongmyeong group. There was no way he woulde to him without any reason, so President Kang Man-cheol sat down with a wary attitude. said. I want to have a quiet conversation, so please step aside. Don''t let anyonee in here. I see. The secretary looks at the two with eyes full of curiosity, wanting to know what''s going on, then walks away with a puzzled face. It wasn''t until long after he closed the door that President Kang Man-cheol opened his mouth coldly, looking at Chief Kim. Where the hell are youing from here like this? Is it because they dont know how much trouble I would get if the prosecution or the police saw it and smelled something? Officially, Yuhan Construction is supposed to be a cleanpany that has nothing to do with the Dongmyeong group. Since there had never been a case in which he showed up and visited in person in this way, President Kang Man-cheol was clearly embarrassed but also very angry. Im sorry, Mr. Kang. An unexpected thing happened to us as well, so we thought it would be better to meet and talk in person, so we came here without shame. The president also asked me to personally convey his regards. Chunbae... is that guy...? President Kang Man-cheol''s expression slightly softened when he heard that Chun-bae, the boss of the Dongmyeong faction, sent it directly. And when he heard the storying out of Chief Kim''s mouth, he put on an expression of disbelief. What? So, our governor asked you to take care of a ssmate in college quietly, you mean now? That''s right. And you guys agreed to do that favor...? How dare we refuse your request? His name is the president''s one and only precious son. It was embarrassing, but the president told me to listen to it, since it''s not something I''ve done once or twice. In the past, Dongmyeong-pa has a history of disappearing without a trace from this world after being ordered by President Kang Man-cheol. So, as if this was nothing special, Chief Kim said with a fishy smile. And at his story, President Kang Man-cheol froze with a stupid expression for a long time as if he was still in shock. So... In conclusion, Tae-soo has no choice but to deal with both the boy hepeted with and the girl he had a crush on quietly, so please understand and take good care of Tae-soo. Director Kim smiled and nodded without saying anything at the words of President Kang Man-cheol, who managed to organize the situation. Seeing him like that, President Kang Man-cheol gnashed his teeth. Kang Tae-soo... you crazy bastard...'' It was something to be resentful of doing crazy things like this because he was distracted by that girl behind him, but what made him even more angry was that he kept his distance as much as possible. It was that he gave a new excuse to Dongmyeong-pa, who was slowly cutting off. These bastards will use this as an excuse to try to rip off thepany again.....'' There is no favor without a price. Yuhan Construction and President Kang Man-cheol, who had to pay at least hundreds of millions of dors in material and financial costs every time they opened their hands to Dong Myung-pa. Therefore, in a serious situation where thepany''s existence was at stake under the pressure of financial difficulties, there was no way he could afford to give money to them. So... is it possible to get things done? Are you confident that you won''t talk behind your back? Once we took the two people, they are locked away in a ce no one knows about. We are nning to deal with it after talking with Master Taesu and the boss. At the words that they are still alive somewhere, CEO Kang Man-cheol was silent for a moment, then spoke without wavering as if he had made up his mind. You can''t pick up water that has already been spilled. make sure to sort it out. I will meet with Chunbae in person sooner orter to talk. President Kang Man-cheol''s words that he will borrow the power of the Dongmyeong faction again. At that, Chief Kim stood up from his seat with a very satisfied smile as if they had achieved what they wanted, and extended his hand to him. Please trust me, sir. Shall we do this once or twice? * * * After the conversation with Chief Kim, President Kang Man-cheol left work and ran home. As soon as he entered the house, he called Tae-soo with a cold face. Taesoo, follow me to my study. yes....? As soon as he gets home, Tae-soo follows his father, who calls him to the study in a bloody atmosphere, with an uneasy look on his face. And he looked at his father, who picked up a golf club and looked at it, with eyes full of tension, and kept his mouth shut. I''ve heard from people below you several times that you''re living like an idiot, but I didn''t know you were such a crazy bastard, Taesu. yes....? What do you mean by that..... Tae-soo is clearly taken aback by President Kang Man-cheols factual violence thates without warning. But before he had time to protest, his silver golf club flew in first. Lets get it right for now. fast. The tremendous pain felt in the shin that had been hit with a full swing. Tae-soo lost his bnce and copsed due to the sudden pain that he couldn''t even groan. This bastard is going to go to school quietly, so where is he going to secretly use the bullying scoundrels to incite murder behind my back? Do you have such a huge thing because of the bleeding of your hair on your head? Did you think you would be safe even after doing this, you bastard! fast. fast. fast. Keep... Kkeaaak. Oh father oh misunderstanding! I did say that, but it was just a joke because I was drunk... The story I said in a drunken rage about catching Gao at a bar. Tae-soo protested by saying that he didn''t mean it, but that only made President Kang Man-cheol more angry. what....? misunderstanding? joke? Do you think you can move on to that fucking excuse in this situation? This is a cub! At that word, the golf club hit more fiercely. Tae-soo, who had been beaten dozens of times, must have thought that he could really die from being hit like this. sorry. I''m so sorry father. I was really stupid. Please forgive me. Tae-soo cries and asks for forgiveness. Seeing his subservience, President Kang Man-cheol barely regained his senses, threw the golf club roughly on the floor, and looked down at his pathetic son after struggling with his temper for a long time. Huh..... Do you know how much damage you brought to me and thepany right now? Yes... I''m really sorry. He doesn''t know him well, but his father seems to have been asked for something in return by Dongmyeong-pa. Tae-soo, who kept bowing his head and saying he was sorry for his words, soon froze at his father''s continued words. Something went wrong, and the Dongmyeong faction said they would have no choice but to deal with that girl just like the guy you asked me to deal with. Knowing that, I shut myself in my house until this work is quietly finished, and do not go anywhere and stay calm. Even that prestigious university took a semester off. yes....? What does that mean...? Two students from the same school went missing at the same time, but is there any way to get public attention by getting their faces caught on camera while going in and out of that university? Don''t talk nonsense, take a leave of absence right away and go home... Oh no, not that! What did Dad just say? Chae-yeon... What do you do with Chae-yeon? Tae-soo lost his reason and shouted loudly as if he had be a different person. President Kang Man-cheol was taken aback by his violent reaction, but soon he tried to get angry again thinking that he was still blinded by love. This bastard... But... President Kang Man-cheol couldn''t finish his words, looking at his eyes that werepletely white and wet with fear. Oh no. no. If that happens... no. I can''t do that... Tae-soo muttered while holding his head as if he had lost his mind while trying to deny this unbelievable reality. And President Kang Man-cheol understood why he did it not long after. I felt with my own body how terrifying the living public power of this Republic of Korea is. Chapter 361 Chapter 361 Fear of Power (3) A dark cold winter night when the sun haspletely set. Man-sik sat down in a shabby abandoned house where no light was turned on, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath. Its bitter..... Cigarette smoke permeates the lungs. Enjoying the feeling of the nicotine rapidly seeping into his body, he exhaled again and muttered while touching his face, which was still tingling with pain. Ha... X feet. To be bitten by that mad dog for no reason... No matter how wrong he was, Young-gil beat himself up like crazy on the spot, like catching a dog on a dog''s day. As Man-sik muttered, remembering the moment he had beaten his face until it was covered in blood, Min-woo, a close younger brother and the youngest member of the organization, who was next to him, spoke in a yful way. Then why did you make a mistake? Young-Gil hyung says hes still grinding his teeth. Minwoo smiles and teases as if fanning a house on fire. However, Man-sik didn''t care, he just kept tapping his mouth and muttering regretfully. If I had to do it, Id be fooling around there... Id just shut up... He growled as he red at himself with a tear-jerking look, saying he wouldnt let go. I don''t know what will happen, but since I know that everything I''ve done has already been reported to my eldest brother, Man-shik puts on aplicated expression as he ponders his future, which has be opaque. The studio is covered in my blood... Youngchun must have handled it well... Ah. Did you ask Youngchun to sort it out? I heard that earlier, Kanghyun-hyung said he would lend me a hand and went out with me, but I think it should have been sorted out by now. okay....? yes. Isn''t Hyung Kang an expert in such aftercare? Even if it had been covered in blood, it would have beenpletely cleaned up without leaving a trace. Man-shik left a lot of his own bloodstains at the crime scene because of Yeong-gil, whose eyes turned upside down and rushed at him without thinking. He was nervous at the thought of having to take care of it first before the police noticed, but he couldn''t move at Young-gil''s order to be in charge of monitoring them. If so, Im d... More than that, thinking about it makes me angry? Why are you doing that again? The kid lying down there right now has a very ugly face, so hes filthy quick to notice, so he bit down on what I said in that situation, and now Im like this. Ah... did you mean that piglet? It was ugly to see my face ..... The cub kills me. Anyway, how dare you fuck someone? Man-sik, who sincerely harbors the intent to kill, makes his eyes shine. At his words, Minwoo smiled slightly and asked. What does the girl say? It looks pretty good though... If I''m good at it, I might be able to sell it for a fairly high price. what? sell? Wouldnt you be able to take care of yourself if you searched for wealthy buyers in China or elsewhere? I heard that Young-gil hyung used to do that often...? Dont say something big, you bastard. Dont you know that your industry waspletely ruined a few years ago? What do you mean...? Man-shik is frightened by Min-woos words and reacts violently. To Min-wu, who was looking at him with curious eyes, Man-sik briefly began to tell him about things that had happened in the past. An organization that specialized in abducting only young women and women in Korea and sending them to China was arrested by the FBI? Adding to that, the revtion that the Korean police had condoned the report...? okay. Because of that, don''t you know that the Korean government, which has painted its image properly in the internationalmunity, has mobilized cops to wipe out all organizations that are suspected or have anything to do with human trafficking? The reason why we were able to grow like this is becauserge organizations were blown up in the air overnight. The atmosphere that the organization itself is blown away the moment you touch human trafficking. Because of that, Dongmyeong-pa also didn''t even think about kidnapping people and burying them in an unknown ce, selling them somewhere far away. Anyway... dont say that to anyone. Because if you did something like that carelessly, you scratched it for nothing and only caused swelling, so it could be more X. Got it? Heh... I see. So, can we both just do it quietly? It will be like that. Man-shik nods his head in response to Min-wus question as he cuts his throat with his hand. And that moment when he was about to say something. Suddenly, I heard something bluntly falling and rolling from somewhere. What....? This....? A circr object descending the slope of the hard cement floor and reflected in the light of a streetmp. And Min-woo and Man-sik, who were watching it with puzzled eyes, soon experienced a tremendous sh and roar at the same time. Wow. Two people suffer from temporary loss of sight and hearing due to the powerful light and explosion of a sh bomb that exploded in an abandoned building in a shabby hillside neighborhood. The reality that those who sat on the floor, clutching their deaf ears and rubbing their tearful eyes like crazy, faced in the slowly returning senses, was so confusing. Stay still. If you do anything stupid, I will shoot you. Section Apleted. The confirmation result is nothing! Area B is also upied. Nothing special. Area C is also upied. I will switch to a vignce mission. In less than a minute, dozens of soldiers appeared out of nowhere. Watching them enter the building they were guarding in perfect order, Man-sik put on a very embarrassed expression. What is this...? Why are the soldiers suddenly...?'' Man-shik can''t hide his embarrassment when something out ofmon sense involving the military, not the police, takes ce. However, he was able to realize that all of this was really real at the hard and cold feeling of the muzzle felt in the back of his head and the cold and sincere look of themander. Again, I will shoot you if you show any will to resist. If you don''t want to die here and now, surrender quietly. Manshik instinctively jumped up in fear of death when he heard the sound of the bolt being pulled as if it was not a joke. Normally, he boasted of his fierce savagery, resisting even in front of detectives, but now he became more docile than anyone else and was quietly captured by the soldiers who were tying him up. Check all hostages. All is well! Soon after, the soldiers who entered the building shouted in bright voices and took Jae-kyun and Chae-yeon out. It''s like, The army came to rescue the two of them? The two stare at one person who appears to be themander with eyes asking, Why the hell?'' But those two only listened to his brief report as he radioed somewhere with a relieved face. Hostage rescueplete. Swan safety check. Swan safe check. Jae-kyun and Chae-yeon were rescued. To the elite members of the 35thmando battalion specializing in counter-terrorism and urban operations belonging to the Capital Defense Command. * * * Under the direction of the President, the National Intelligence Service, the Capital Defense Command, and the Presidential Secret Service jointly supervise an unprecedented secret operation. This operation, carried out by mobilizing all the capabilities of each agency, was swift and active, as well as meticulous and precise. Everyone down! Get down you bastard! Who are you! Old soldiers? A six-story building located in the middle of downtown Seoul. The Dongmyeong faction, which has the entire organization as its base, was taken aback by the sudden appearance of soldiers. Dont miss a single one and arrest and tie him up. Get down! Get down you bastard! Almost a hundred soldiers are running around the building, subduing and arresting the bear-like bear-like men. And some of the young, bloody members of the organization who did not understand the situation properly began to resist. No, why are the military bastards all of a sudden giving a damn! what! What are you doing if you don''t catch us? I am a discharged army sergeant! How can a military bastard do something like this to someone who has notmitted any crimes? uh? X foot! won''t you let this go? let go! pug. older brother! These bastards...? Ha..... The army is crazy these days? How dare you use violence against civilians? There was a big and small physical fight, and one person fell bleeding after being hit by a butt. As a catalyst, the entire atmosphere turns violent and the members of the organization burn their will to fight. And in the meantime, a soldier was taken hostage in their surprise attack. You bastards! Don''t y nonsense. Even if I have to search for it, I will pluck this bastard''s head and go. Everyone, don''t move! Young-gil holding a blue sashimi to the nape of the hostage soldier''s neck and shouting in anger. Even in normal times, when he gets into trouble due to his anger control disorder, he rushes forward without hesitation. He shouts with sincere intent to kill. Everybody drop the guns! You fucking bastards, do you guys think it will be all right? It''s not even a job to find out who your bastards are. Do you think your family will be able to stretch out and sleep? Young-gil makes mad threats with reddened eyes. At his reaction, the soldiers started to hesitate for a moment, but soon, as one person slowly stepped in front of him, the atmosphere began to change rapidly. Are you sure you cant figure out whats going on right now? Now, when you say nice things, put down the knife and let go, if you don''t want to see something worse. A mysterious man who rather provokes Young-gil with a touchy atmosphere. The entire face was covered, so it was impossible to pinpoint his age, but Young-gil felt a subtle sense of dj vu at the experienced beauty, as if something like this had happened not once or twice, but the rage rising in his heart paralyzed his rationality. Hehehehe... Does this bastard still think Im ying around? Young-gil drools andughs like a madman. And suddenly, with a groaning roar, he shouted. This baby and you guys are all torn and chewed . I''ve been through this situation often. A gun is always a word..... He muttered softly before he finished his words and moved to action, and in an instant, the pistol in his hand aimed precisely at Young-gil''s forehead and let out the fire. Taang. The sound of a sharp gunshot. And at the same time, Young-gil hardened like a wooden doll. Without even realizing it, he trembled as blood flowed from the hole pierced precisely between his eyebrows. It was faster than the sword. Not long after, he dropped his knife and looked at Young-gil, who copsed. He then looked around and saw the gang members frozen in astonishment as if he were listening. From now on, I take all responsibility. As of now, if anyone resists even the slightest bit, kill them immediately. Several members of the Dongmyeong-pa, so notorious for their anger control disorders, today, for the first time, have fully controlled their anger. Be a very docile and docile sheep and get tied up by soldiers. * * * You are the president of Yuhan Construction, Kang Man-cheol, right? You should go with us. My son Tae-soo is also with me. You better not think of rejecting it. This is not just good advice. Two unknown people in ck suits storm into Tae-soo''s house. However, President Kang Man-cheol, who realized that they came from the National Intelligence Service and what he had done through Tae-soo, became contemtive and strongly protested at their appearance with a white face. I have nothing to do with it! That''s what this bastard did! I have no idea...! Lets go together and then talk about it, Mr. Kang Man-cheol. And from what we roughly figured out before we came here, it looks like there are a lot more things to talk about with us besides that? Thats it... CEO Kang Man-cheol was speechless at the words of those who talked as if they already knew everything about the close rtionship between him and the Dongmyeong faction. Seeing him like that, the NIS agent said coldly. Follow me at once. Again, you''d better be willing to cooperate with us now. If you resist here and now, things will go into an irreversible process. ..... President Kang Man-cheol follows him with a desperate face as if he had given up on that statement, as if he were being dragged to a ughterhouse. However, he suddenly turned around and ran towards Tae-soo, his son. This is all because of your baby! die! die! You trash bastard! Father screaming in anger and beating himself. However, unlike when he hit himself with a golf club earlier, Tae-soo felt a strange feeling that he couldn''t express in words when he was really terrified and was swinging his fist with fear and fear. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Tae-soo was finally able to realize as he stared nkly at his father, who was being dragged by an agent by the arms, and another agent, who stood up and beckoned him to follow. I wonder if he was a frog in a well living in a small and narrow world. Chapter 362 Chapter 362 Fear of Power (4) Dongmyeong n who tried to kidnap and kill the president''s granddaughter. However, their heinous atrocities were not known to the world. [Next news. Last night, a surprise clean-up operation was carried out against a criminal organization called Dongmyeong-pa. The police are concentrating their efforts on investigating additional crimes, saying that it was confirmed that the organization had smuggled drugs inrge quantities from China during the recent investigation into new drugs circting in Seoul. A full-scale search and seizure was carried out. ording to an anonymous prosecution official, this search and seizure is to secure evidence of illegal activities rted to the redevelopment project in the Gangnam area promoted by Yuhan Construction two years ago...] A lot of blood and dirty filth smeared all over the body. There were so many evil deeds that they could not hide even if they tried to hide them, so soon after the prosecution and the police started investigating them, when their heinous criminal acts were revealed one by one, the whole country started to shake. Wow..... So, the constructionpany got involved with the gangsters, killed the president of thepetitor without even knowing, and swallowed thepany itself? Arent you crazy bastards? They bribed the official in charge to get permission for redevelopment, and gave the existing residents only a penny and kicked them out. No, apany listed on the KOSPI teamed up with a gangster tomit such a heinous act? does that really make sense? It''s not even a movie... A situation in which the ugly bare face of apany with a reputation for sending out advertisements on terrestrial TV was revealed to the world in detail. As detailed stories about them and the Dongmyeong faction that ruled Seoul began to pop up here and there due to the hot media coverage, people criticized the police and prosecutors from all over the ce. Are the police and prosecutors all idiots? What did you do when you couldn''t catch something like this? admit. You say you''ve been doing it this way for at least ten years, but no one knew this? I heard that the number of victims who were murdered because of Yuhan Constructions instigation is at least a few dozen... At this point, its not a constructionpany, its just a contract killingpany, isnt it? Public sentiment began to boil over the evil deeds of those who went beyond the limit. And an article that came up in such an urgent situation started to bring an enormous aftermath. -Shock. The wife of Kang Man-cheol, president of Yuhan Construction, is known to be working as a chief prosecutor at the Seoul District Prosecutor''s Office. At the Seoul District Prosecutor''s Office, which is the highest elite course for prosecutors and anyone wants to be assigned to. was astonished. -So..... You mean that the husband who is now the president of a constructionpany pays off money here and there, and the wife, who is a prosecutor, deliberately looks after the gangsters and covers up all the crimes theymitted? - Wow... is this a true story? Is this Korea right? -lol. The real country is going back very well. -Can''t we just put all those bastards to death? It''s a waste of taxes to put you in prison. -Anyway, the nation''s treasure..... The police and the prosecutor''s office fell on fire in a suddenrge-scale incident. The Commissioner General of the National Police Agency and the Prosecutor General moved desperately enough to bow down and apologize in person, but things became moreplicated and noisy as the political world rushed to bite them. And... in such a situation, President Jeon Ki-chan was having an in-depth conversation with a young woman who visited the Blue House in search of him. I''m so d things worked out, Mr. President. The Secretary of State also asked for his deepest condolences. No. Rather, I should say thank you. If it wasn''t for the Argos system, something bigger could have happened because we couldn''t respond immediately. The Eye of Argos, which has eyes all over the world, monitors and analyzes everything. Since he found out that the US government is secretly operating this system, he has had a lot of moral confusion and skepticism, but today, for the first time, President Jeon Chan-chan, who benefited from it, can realize it. That sometimes you have to close your eyes even when you see injustice for the sake of a better world. First of all, I will deal with the agenda that I came to. If the situation was good, the Secretary of State was considering visiting Korea personally, but there are opinions that it would be a little unreasonable in the current situation. Inevitably, the easygoing me asked me to go and take a look instead. Are there any additional issues rted to this case that could be a risk to the Prism Project? A woman who asks with sharp eyes on behalf of the Secretary of State. In response to her question, President Jeon Chan paused for a moment and pondered. The highest-ranking officials in the United States... Among them, the artificial intelligence system Argos, which does not even know its existence, except for those who are in the top 10. As the president who governs a country, he understood very well how enormous the strategic value of this is, so he thought about something with a serious face for a long time before opening his mouth. Remedy has been done somehow. No information rted to Chae-yeon has been leaked to the outside, and everything rted to the rescue operation will remain strictly confidential. Can you tell the U.S. government not to worry, at least no one in this administration has any doubts about Argos? is that so....? A woman who looks at the words of President Jeon Chan with strange eyes and asks back. However, she suddenly made an expression as if she wanted to know what she was doing, and then sat down on the sofaughing. Oh... Im sorry, Mr. President. I am no longer affiliated with the State Department, but I was acting in diplomat mode without realizing it because I was thinking about the old days. Is that so...? I had no idea. Unlike before, a woman sits down with a much morefortable face. However, President Jeon Ki-chan, who was dealing with her, felt more nervous than before. yes. Actually, it''s nothing to worry about. The Secretary of State is still my former direct superior, so I still have a feeling of difficulty, but now he asks me to just call him Helenfortably . There, Eugene was a former secretary serving the Secretary of State, a senior cab member who is fourth in the presidential session order. Recalling the memories of the past, she made a vague expression, but soon her face distorted at President Jeon Chan''s words. So... what is the little guy doing these days? It sounds like youve been shut up in America and dont even think abouting back to Korea. You mean Minsu...? Eugene abandoned the post of Secretary of State and changed his job one day by chance. And soon after, Eugene realized that the being she held hands with was Satan''s bastard who had returned to this world, but she, who had already been put on a leash for an enormous amount of money, was still in pain as she cleaned up the dung of that mindless madman. I was passing my days Nowadays... its quiet. Normally, I''m stuck in a NASAb. I don''t know what it is, but I''m very busy going back and forth between Ajin Electronics'' factories and research centers in the US. Sometimes they ask me to procure ridiculously expensive high-tech equipment and facilities. When the story of Min-sues out, she pours out an enormousmentation as if a person has suddenly changed, and her mouth doesn''t know how to rest. However, President Jeon Ki-chan interrupted her speech as if it was not important and asked with a nervous face. Could it be... does he know what happened in Korea this time...? Minsu-sama...? Asked if he was aware of this incident in Korea. And in response to President Jeon Ki-chan''s question, Eugene looked at him with a face as if he was seriously crazy and said. Maybe you dont know? If I had already known, I would have rolled my eyes again and returned straight to Korea and made all sorts of jokes. President Jeon Chan is pleased with Eugene''s words that he would not know. And he took a deep breath as if he was really relieved. I''m d... I''m so d... Sure. Just in case, don''t press the seizure switch again because you say something strange in front of Minsu. He said he''s been so quiettely that I''m even more anxious. I think it will explode again soon. Okay. don''t let me do that Then... After that, President Jeon Chan-chan had a brief chat with Eugene, asking each other how they were doing. As he sent her away for the next schedule, he asked out of curiosity. Oh, so what else is Minsu making? Minsu-nim...? I don''t know... It sounds like you''re making some sort of rocket...? You mean rockets...? yes. It''s a rocket. It''s the one that blows it into space. I see... You''ve been living more normally than I thought. The electric president nodded and murmured at Eugene''s words that he seems to be making rockets in coboration with NASA. Eugeneughed as if he agreed with his words, threw a word and left. So. How terrified I was when I first thought that I was going to build a space battleship. * * * Aww! Assignment over! Freedom! Freedom has finallye! vacation! vacation! vacation! vacation! Kiaaaaaang! Let''s drink! alcohol! You must eat today! A group of college students scattering around cheering after the final submission of the assignment. And in the midst of such a crowd, Jaeyoung looked at Jaekyun and Chaeyeon with an ignorant face and asked. By the way, where did Tae-soo go? You don''t evene to ss, but you can''t even see the nose poke on the day you hand in your assignments? What''s going on? Jae-young, who is unaware of thetest news that makes Korea lively. At his question, Jaekyun broke out in sweat as if he had been stung by something. Ah, maybe you took a leave of absence? Arent you going to be out of school for a while? what....? leave of absence? No, why is he all of a sudden? How long is vacation left? Jae-young, surprised by Jae-gyun''s words, asks. In response to his question, Jaekyun rolled his eyes left and right, trying to blur his words. Is that so? I don''t know exactly either. Maybe it''s because it just doesn''te out..... You... do you know something? What? Don''t make me wonder, tell me. hurry. Jae-kyun, who is synonymous with indifference that cannot be found without notice. There was no way he would have noticed Tae-soo''s leave of absence and told him first, so Jae-young looked at Jae-gyun with sharp eyes and began to question him. what. I won''t spread rumors, so tell me. Did you have a real deal with Tae-soo? huh? Did the two of you decide to take a leave of absence and fight a man fight? That... thats why... Huh? huh? huh? Jaeyoung keeps asking questions with a smirk as if making fun of Jaekyun. However, he froze in genuine astonishment when he saw a person clinging to the side of Jae-kyun, who was at a loss for what to do. Thats right, Jaeyoung. Jae-gyun and Tae-soo did a good job with me between them. what....? Chaeyeon Jeon. From the time she was a freshman until the end of her second year, she had been managing the fishing grounds for a while. Seeing her approach first and openly cross her arms with Jae-gyun, everyone around him, including Jae-young, stopped moving as if time had stopped. You dont know how cool our Jaekyun was, right? Tae-soo, that son of a bitch, is just a hit! And he left? ...? ...? A scene you can''t even imagine. However, Jaeyoung, who was looking at Jaegyun who didn''t say anything with an awkward smile, stopped thinking at Chaeyeon''s words. So stop bullying my boyfriend, Jaeyoung. It''s embarrassing, so it''s hard to answer. let''s go! Jaegyun. Didn''t we go see a movie together today? Jae-kyun takes Chae-yeon''s hand as if she is being dragged and leaves. Jaeyoung, who had been staring nkly at him, thought with a dejected expression at the strange emotions that came flooding back. The public who praises such genuine people as genius creators. In the end, Chae-yeon chose Jae-gyun after abandoning the proud governor. He said that this world, which he could not understand with hismon sense, must be crazy. This earth writer bastard.... It''s really imusible. Chapter 363 Chapter 363 BIG PICTURE (1) Arcadia nning and Economy Team. A small team born in the process of transnting game elements to the fantasy world of Arcadia in the past. Originally, the team had the purpose of managing the auction house system in the game and monitoring and analyzing abnormal transactions in advance, but unlike then, now the scale has expanded too quickly and to an abnormal level. [As all continents of Arcadia are integrated, the auction house is also integrated. As of now, all users will be able to freely trade with users around the world through gold.] Discovery of a new continent. And the continental unification due to the resurrection of the world tree. As a result, the area of responsibility of the nning and economy team, which was limited to the Korean continent in the past and managed in a limited way, quickly expanded to the whole world. With such an enormous level of workload, the existence value of the nning and economy team jumped up in an instant. And Yang Han-seok, the team leader of the nning and economy team, who rode the trend well, could now be the head of the ministry in charge of the huge and vast economy of Arcadia. Yang Han-seok, Ministry of nning and Economy. He handles all kinds of serious matters with a namete that shines with ck gloss on his desk. Once leading a team with less than 10 employees, he was promoted several times, taking charge of a huge department with over 80 employees, but Han-seok''s face was always full of gloom. Uuuuuu..... Manager, these are system construction proposals sent by the countries we consulted with this time. Please review and if there is no problem, we will take care of it right away. And Kang Yul, a subordinate who has been working with him since the beginning. Now the manager in charge of the bizarre department called the Cooperative Response Division'', which is in charge of consultations with government departments of each country, he came to me with a tired and caffeine-stained face and put down a beautiful bundle of documents on his desk. . How many of these are there...? Six countries in Central and South America. Southeast Asia is 9 countries. 3 countries in Europe and 4 countries in Africa. Tax authorities in as many as 22 countries are preparing for the incorporation into the system while pursuingplex consultations on tax information sharing. Since the matter was an issue, it was impossible to simply stamp and send it away, so Yang Han-seok, who was put in a situation where he had to check and read each and every one of them, but already in his office, documents still waiting for his approval were literally piled up like a mountain. Ha... I understand, so put it in the corner over there. Right now, I don''t have time to read that far. Yes... Hesitantly cing the stack of papers on top of the other papers, Kang Yul suddenly asked as he looked at the report with a more nk face than himself. Boss. why. He just answered calmly without making eye contact. Looking at Han Seok, Yul asked. What do you think about moving to another department? what? What are you talking about? At those words, Manager Yang Han-seok''s eyes, which had been fixed on the report until just now, turned and stared at Yul in an instant. Yul flinched a little at his exaggerated reaction, and soon began to bring out the inner thoughts he had stored in his heart. No... I don''t feel like living these days..... I know the manager is having a hard time, but it''s too hard for me to hold on... Arcadia Korean server''s early service. Even when the auction house wasn''t active yet, Yul had a happy working life in a spacious andfortable work atmosphere. However, as the entire department expanded and expanded so quickly, he was given a heavy burden at such a young age. why. Is the work that hard? Yang Han-seok, manager of the department, opens his eyes to his honest story and asks. At his words, Yul swallowed his saliva with a slightly nervous face and said. no. It''s not that the work itself is beyond my abilities. To be honest... let me tell you. I feel that this doesn''t seem like a human being lives... 4:00 am to work. Get off work at 11pm. It''s not something forced or ordered by anyone, but it''s a situation that inevitably happens when you try to deal with all kinds of things thate and go every day. Although the degree was different, it was severe in the case of Yului, which had to solve problems through consultation with government departments around the world. Because of the time difference, it is almost impossible to leave work on time. So the other day, I had a meeting at 3:00 in the morning, so I couldn''t even get off work, so I just slept at thepany? Since I always live at thepany, my mother thinks I just live at thepany. An inhuman working environment where you can''t even open your eyes and see. That''s why Yul has been thinking really seriouslytely. That''s why Yul mustered up the courage to speak up. However, Yang Han-seok''s answer left him speechless for a moment. Then I...? yes....? Are you going to leave me and run away? ...? It''s not a joke, it''s his sincere question. And Han Seok began to talk about his grievances in front of his subordinates who wereining. Go to work at 4 am and leave at 11? It seems that our Yul doesn''t quite understand how thankful he is for being able to leave work. I''m not kidding, it''s been over 2 months since I saw the face of the wife, you bastard. He just gave me an ultimatum saying that if he didnte back this weekend, he would send me the divorce papers. ..... It''s not a joke, Yang Han-seok, the manager of thepany, has be thepany''s leader. In Yul''s grievances, which are no different from getting wrinkled in front of bed bugs, he once again told us what the life of a truly inhuman ve is like. So you''re going to throw me out because it''s that hard and cowardly run to another honey sucking department? Leave me alone in this overwork hell? ..... The directors eyes filled with poison. He said, revealing the heart of the water ghost that he lives together even if he dies. Where do you think it will go your way? sorry. Thinking that he was careless, Yul lowered his head and tried to go outside with his shoulders drooping. However, manager Yang Han-seok called him back. Hey Yulia. Sit there for a minute. Yul, puzzled by those words, sat down. Han Seok, who had thick dark circles down to his cheeks, drank the cold coffee at once and said, Do you remember what I said earlier? What do you mean? About the future unfolding before us. In the early days, no one had any interest in the nning and economy team''s department in the past. As the team leader at that time, he showed frightening insight into the future. [A highly embodied virtual reality that is unmatched. In this, not just simplebat and hunting, everything is embodied. Politics, production, economy, war, diplomacy, art, history, culture... All of them, including even religion, are meticulously organized and organically connected, just like in reality.] [ Gold, the currency used in this world. Considering the influence this gold has, the day maye when it goes beyond being just game money and is recognized as another currency that can exert a huge influence on the national level.] [If that dayes, the existence of this Arcadia will How important will our role be in tracking and monitoring the flow and movement of all gold transactions ? Ironically, however, the world he spoke of quickly became a reality and came to them. [The United States of America regtes gold as a virtual currency that reces the role of money. ordingly, profits earned from virtual reality are also taxed. ordingly, Arcadia Co., Ltd. will establish a system that can track the movement of all gold circted in virtual reality and provide taxpayer information and revenue data in the process of exchanging money to cash after consultation with the tax authorities of each country. .] reditation as the world''s first official virtual currency along with the institutionalization of each country. [There are an increasing number ofpanies that y the virtual reality game Arcadia professionally. They judge that the value and profit rate of the goods that can be earned in the game are excellent. In addition, it seems that these investmentpanies are expecting a lot from the 15% stake that Arcadia Co., Ltd. announced in the past.] Companies around the world professionally jumped into this virtual reality and made huge investments, and gamers The advent of an era recognized as a value-added job. [Recently, ces that buy and sell goods using gold, a virtualmodity, are rapidly emerging. The so-called rice eaters'' who use gold acquired while ying in Arcadia to use restaurants, purchase daily necessities, and use it for travel expenses are spreading like a trend . Even the emergence of people who use this earned gold to solve everything in their daily lives. A situation that was once thought possible only in imagination has be a reality. That''s why Yul muttered with a bitter smile as he looked at the manager who foresaw all of that. sure. At that time, the manager was really great. He foresaw the future as surely as if he had be a prophet. And as a result, Yul and the existing department employees, including Yang Han-seok, were promoted at an unusually high speed and transformed into elites who were in charge of and responsible for the core and important departments of Arcadia Co., Ltd. I know you are having a hard time, Yul. There are no precedents or examples to refer to, no one to ask or seek advice from. New problems and tasks pop up every day, and after you concentrate on handling them for a long time, problems that still need to be dealt with pile up like a mountain. There''s no kid who doesn''t feel it''s hard in that never-ending job hell. Even the most insane workaholic bastard would shed tears of blood if he came here. Manager Yang Han-seok is well aware of how harsh and inhumane the current working environment and treatment are. He asked, shining brightly alive eyes despite his zombie-like face. But do you know why I didnt give up and stayed in this department until the end? ....I don''t know. The managermented that he would die because he was too tired. Yul couldn''t figure out why he was holding out with such evil. It is because the work we are doing now may be a historical event for the entire human race that will be recorded forever in the distant future. yes....? Humanity''s first virtual reality Arcadia. And the currency gold that was used in this virtual world. It is a truly unprecedented global event and a huge change like a revolution in which meaningful values are being given to the economy and its goods, which are running in a world that is nothing more than illusions and fictitious data. The fact that the birth of a single giant virtual currency that can be freely exchanged with all currencies in the world and that the starting point ofmercialization is being written was stimting Han Seok like crazy. Do you know how big and important the things you are doing are? Major government departments around the world are asking for our cooperation and are in a hurry to get answers. In a way... we''re in the position of first. And that to the whole world. A huge situation where just staying and surviving here could make for a huge career. That is why Han Seok dealt with all the problems he was facing here, survived the era of cataclysm, and was peeking at his own brilliant future. Dontment that you will die like that, and take this as an opportunity. No matter what you do in the future, your career as the head of the Ministry of nning and Economy will be a great light to you wherever you are. Shouldnt you also aim for an executive position someday? ..... Manager Yang Han-seok said to think of it as a moment of self-mortification for a leap forward. And Yul lowered his head at his words and made up his mind. By the way, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han said his annual sry was 50 billion won? I will work hard from now on, manager. The most important driving force that silently endures subhuman treatment and leads the life of a ve. It was money. A sum of money toorge to dare to refuse. Chapter 364 Chapter 364 BIG PICTURE (2) A symbol of innovation and an essential device that enables direct connection and interaction between the brain and machine, an unknown territory, and a game console that allows ess to the fantasy world of Arcadia. Dreamer. This state-of-the-art device, which enables the application of the virtual reality system, which is considered to be at least 100 years ahead of the current technology, boasted an enormous amount of money ranging from 10 million won for the entry-level type to 30 million won for the high-end type. It is unreasonable for a person with a lot of money to spend a lot of money on just one game console. That''s why, in the early days of Arcadia''s service, there was quite a bit of public opinion criticizing that the guy who poured such outrageous money into a single game was stupid. - Ha ha ha 30 million won? why do you buy it With that money, I could eat 4,000 bowls of steamy soup. -Cars vs game consoles. Isn''t there a 1000000% chance that the guy who chooses thetter here is a solo bastard without a girlfriend? -30 million won? No,mon sense, is that a price that makes sense? No matter how fun the game is, isn''t this just profiteering? Who do you think will buy that money? -Besides, that''s just a connector. To use it, you have to pay 300,000 won separately every month. - At this point, aren''t all those who y arcadia or virtual reality pigs and dogs? The birth of an unprecedented virtual reality game. However, despite this, Arcadia Co., Ltd. set out to set a monthly fee for equipment and monthly usage fees that could not be easily purchased with a brash business without any support measures or discounts to attract subscribers, and it literally hit the jackpot. [There are many reasons why Arcadia became a global trend and upied an overwhelming share, but the most important factor among them was economic feasibility.] Nobel Prize winner in economics and world authority Keynes . He had a little more insight than others about virtual reality, which spread so rapidly and was firmly rooted throughout human society. [Traditionally, enjoying games was close to a kind of consumption''. Consumers pay money to purchase game consoles and tickets, and consumers get pleasure and satisfaction from them. That''s why we''ve ssified games as a form of y and entertainment.] Pay To Win. Pay To y. Existing games that start with the premise of inducing consumption by users who y the game, and have a structure that somehow maximizes the spending to create profits for the developer. But in Arcadia, the concept ispletely different. [But it''s different in virtual reality. From the moment you purchase the connector and pass and ess the game, everything ispletely free. In it, people create goods throughbor and production, and also freely consume their goods to satisfy their infinite desires and desires. The most important point here is that, unlike previous games, the foundation for creating'' and producing'' substantial profits in the game ording to individual efforts is established.] y to Earn . Arcadia has absolutely no billing elements other than the cost for basic ess. Since all transactions and economy were made with the currency in the game called gold, gamers could ess and enjoy any content without discrimination. And at that point, users who y Arcadia were divided into two groups. -Ah..... The items are filthy expensive. Shall I just be smart...? -Don''t think about getting iron ore by mining and smelting it. It is more efficient to buy iron ore with money and throw it away. Think about efficiency versus time. -Hunting, the gold I earned today is 9 gold..... After excluding the equipment repair cost, potion cost, and other incidental expenses.... Still 4 gold left? 400,000 won per day...? -Sell the gold you earn from logging for a month. All 28 gold is on sale. Wallet warriors who are annoyed by the frustrating and sluggish game y and want to collect cash and exchange it for gold, and rice eaters who want to exchange the gold collected in the game for cash to lead their daily lives. And seeing that phenomenon change into a huge flow not only in Korea but all over the world, he said. [That''s why I''m watching with great interest the process of linking and integrating the economy of virtual reality and reality. Perhaps this virtual reality can be a good opportunity to resolve the global gap between rich and poor and ie inequality that we have been insisting on so far. At least in the case of extremely poor countriescking social infrastructure and industrial base where there is no ce to work, this virtual reality will be able to create new added value and be a valuable job for the extremely poor and workers who can not do anything.] From the era of imperialism to hundreds of years The inter-Korean issue created in the course of modern and contemporary history. The problem of global wealth imbnce and the gap between rich and poor, which no one could ever solve, was beginning to be resolved little by little through this virtual reality. -Countries that use gold to earn foreign currency? Struggle for survival of low-ie countries. - Creation of new sources of revenue. People who fell into thebor in the game rather than thebor in real life. - 92% of the poorest. Respondents said Arcadia, a virtual reality game, is of great help to their livelihood. Unlike begging on the street and working for pennies every morning in an inhumane and poor environment, lying at home, traveling and wandering in a fantastic virtual world, and earning huge amounts of money depending on your efforts, it is truly a world of unlimited freedom and infinite possibilities. By selling the gold earned there to wallet warriors in developed countries, they were able to lead a better life than before and find new hope in despair. And for that reason, he gave unsparing praise to Arcadia. [Arcadia Co., Ltd., which invests a huge amount of money, buildsmunication infrastructure, and sponsors and provides Dreamers for free, rather than charity organizations that send donations and food while shedding emotional tears at a child dying of starvation in Africa, are providing real help. Rather than providing one-off and one-time support, we are providing these marginalized people with the possibility, opportunity, and hope for continuous development.] Unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. Arcadia Co., Ltd. always tolerates and ignores bizarre and crazy changes in the game, citing these two mottos. Therefore, the view of thepany from the point of view of users who enjoy games was quite aggressive. - Apany that exploded because it couldn''t be called. -Apany that ys the game, not the operation. -Apany with the most insane president. -Apany with an average employee IQ of 81. . . . Users wishing for the safety and well-being of their parents by mobilizing all kinds of vicious and insulting terms. However, regardless of the situation in the game, the real world was definitely moving forward because of them. - Dered investment of KRW 1,000 trillion for 10 years in Arcadia Africa. - Announcement of support measures for national merit, including Arcadia veterans. - Arcadia Co., Ltd., emerging as a giant of a charity organization. Profession of hot social return policy. - Announcement of fee exemption policy to the underprivileged. Enjoy virtual reality for free? Arcadia Co., Ltd. is making an unprecedented full-scale and passionate investment to match the huge amount of money it earns every month, while at the same time providing tremendous levels of support and benefits to the underprivileged. That''s why Keynes sighed as if he couldn''t understand this crazypany that used up everything that made money, but he acknowledged thispany that was making such a grand ideal a reality. [They are surely the truly moral and conscientious corporations of this era that are contributing the most to changing this irrational and irrational world.] * * * Exaggerated praise of the famous economist Keynes . This interview, which was conducted along with the announcement of the publication of her new book, became a hot topic on the Inte and was discussed in various media outlets. Ho-ho-ho... thats a very interesting interpretation... CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered as she watched Keynes talking loudly on therge TV set on one side of the office. However, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han shook his head left and right as if he had a slightly different opinion and said, I dont feel that the publics view of thepany is strange, sir. In fact, numerous virtual reality-rted support policies currently being promoted in Korea. Considering that an enormous welfare policy targeting the underprivileged is spreading all over the world, which is hard to believe that it is a business carried out by a singlepany, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han was honestly concerned about thepany''s financial condition, and the scale of the actual expenditure. was reckless. If I dare to say in the position of giving advice to the president, we need to reduce thepany''s overall spending a bit. The Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. earns more than 10 trillion won every month only with the ticket. Strangely enough, however, the in-house reserves did not think about increasing, and outrageous expenditures urred to the extent that it was always maintained at the level of barely avoiding deficits. The welfare expenditure budget rted to the promotion of virtual reality is close to 60% of thepany''s total expenditure. To be honest, this is too much for real. A level where Arcadia Co., Ltd. is in charge of the welfare of themon people, which is not the state, but the state should be responsible for. However, at the words of Kwon Myeong-han, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said with a twinkle in her eyes as if what she was talking about. oh? What are you talking about? Aren''t you misunderstanding something? This is what I checked yesterday. ording to the person in charge of finance, it is clear that welfare-rted expenditures are saturated, so in order not to fall into capital erosion or fund crunch, it is necessary to reduce the scale a little... However, President Lee Mi-yeon corrected his words instead, as if that was not the case. The purpose of our spending is not welfare but a kind of investment? yes....? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was momentarily at a loss for words and put on a stupid expression. CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled brightly at him and said. Executive Director, do you know that Arcadia Co., Ltd.... Or to be more precise, the board of directors that owns thispany are such stupidly kind and pure people? Would it be like this with such a noble sense of mission, as they say on that TV? The purpose of existence of allpanies and the most original and fundamental purpose. generating revenue. Support for upfront investment in Africa and poor countries, where subscription rates and usage rates are low due to poor infrastructure and basic living standards, is also supported by free rental or support of used capsules or low-end capsules to improve corporate image and maximize subscribers by exempting or discounting usage fees. also to collect. President Lee Mi-yeon, who does not just do all thoseprehensive and aggressive welfare and support policies. In response to her meaningful question, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han asked with a slightly serious face. So, are you saying that all of this is an investment going on while drawing a big picture for more profit...? expansion of the market. Formation of favorable public opinion among users. When Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han asked if she was nning to maximize profits through that, she smiled strangely and blurted out her words. well....? Since then, CEO Lee Mi-yeon has been sparing about her words and never told her about her true purpose. However, through all of this, there was a different true purpose that the real owner of Arcadia, not President Lee Mi-yeon, was trying to achieve. [Make 100% of the world''s poption benefit from virtual reality, including Arcadia. Even a homeless person or beggar on the street can enjoy the infinite opportunities and infinite possibilities without discrimination, whether in a wealthy house in an advanced country or in a small rural vige in a remote part of Africa.] All mankind and the entire civilization can experience virtual reality , What makes you immerse yourself in it and immerse yourself in it. [So, encroach and dominate the world based on Arcadia and virtual reality. It creates a world where no one can live without virtual reality. If that happens...] [ Wouldn''t that be world domination?] A world that a 15-year-old child full of emotions dreams of. The huge, grand, and even arrogant, bizarre, distorted, and insane picture that no one noticed was being drawn. By the hands of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Chapter 365 Chapter 365 Currency War (1) Numerous changes brought about by the advent of virtual reality Arcadia. Although many things have changed rapidly and violently enough to be called a global revolution and transformation, virtual reality has quickly settled in all countries of the world due to its enormous economic value despite numerous side effects and concerns in this era of cataclysm. [It is true that there are things we do not yet know about virtual reality technology, and that we are in uncertainty about what problems this technology will cause in the future. However, if fear and anxiety about such risks block new innovations, it will deny progress to the future and hinder the development of the nation... and of mankind as a whole. Look at Japan. What kind of situation have we been in since ess to technology rted to virtual reality was blocked at the source?] [Virtual reality is no longer an option, but an essential technology for mankind. Fear no more than this creates an uncertain sense of dread. How much our lives have been enriched and efficiently changed through virtual reality, and how much hope it has given to people with disabilities who have been marginalized until now. With that alone, I think the value of this technology is sufficient.] The movement to actively resist and oppose the appearance of virtual reality in fear could be found everywhere, but in the overwhelming support of the public, which is iparable to it, virtual reality Legalization and system maintenance rted to reality were progressing step by step, changing the entire daily life of mankind. In particr, the presence of Arcadia in the world economy and financial world was nothing short of a shock itself. - Gold'', amodity in virtual reality. Is it a universal currency? - Common cryptocurrency gold around the world. The daily trading volume is approaching 1,800 trillion won. - Recognition of tangible value for US Treasury Gold. The birth of the world''s first certified virtual currency. Amon currency in Arcadia and a virtual currency that does not exist in reality. Gold. It was just a piece of virtual dataposed of 0s and 1s, but it is a virtual asset whose value is recognized while maintaining a certain bnce between demand and supply in Arcadia''s economic structure, which operates with over billions of users and terrifyingly precise operations. However, with the official recognition of the US government, well-known economists among several countries that are quickly moving along the stance were appraising this situation as truly phenomenal. [A lot of people probably already know that Arcadia is basically a fictional world, but it has a very precisely structured economy. The price of all goods is absolutely set by the invisible hand of the market ording to supply and demand, and basically all economic phenomena of reality caused by the finite resources and the infinite human desire can be found in Arcadia. ] This virtual world that so perfectly embodies the basic premises that are the foundation of human economics. Among the various events taking ce here, it is possible to discover major economic phenomena that can be substituted into reality and considered, so the topic of studying Arcadia as a major experimental model has recently been a craze among economists. [In addition, users who y this Arcadia are willing to consume their own goods to satisfy their desires. Purchase better equipment or essential consumption items such as potions or emotion scrolls. Furthermore, this gold is used even for services such as eating at a restaurant or using a repair appraisal warp gate. In other words, it means that there are infinite ces where you can consume the virtual goods called gold.] Gold acquired while ying Arcadia. However, unlike general games, the uses for this gold were so limitless that the gold earned by billions of users a day was astronomical, but the amount of gold consumed was also at a level that could not be ignored. [Arcadia is basically a fun entertainment, but it induces and forces yers to do painfulbor. Through hunting or through production or gathering, it makes various products produced and processed. In addition, elements that provide entertainment and satisfaction to yers by consuming the goods obtained in all these situations are hidden here and there, so the structure is so precise and detailed that even the consumption of the goods created is woven.] Production and consumption . supply and demand. An economy in virtual reality where itsplex structure is perfectly bnced and dynamically moves and changes as if it were a living organism. Looking at another huge market that could only exist in the imagination, economists talked as if everyone was right. [Therefore, no one can dispute the fact that the utility and value of gold actually exists. It just doesn''t exist in reality. It is clearly in the process of serving as a practical currency.] The birth of virtual currency, which does not exist in reality, but whose value ismonly recognized around the world. From that point on, developing countries and poor countries with poor economic scale and level began to introduce virtual reality into their countries preemptively and aggressively to a frightening extent. -Designated El Salvador government gold as the official legal currency. - Granted GLD'' code to ISO cryptocurrency gold. Full-fledged entry into the international foreign exchange trading market. -Final permission to pay taxes using Brazilian government gold. Establishment of subsidies for virtual reality. -A source of revenue that is five times the average Philippine worker''s sry? Virtual reality craze blowing in Southeast Asia. People rushing to live in the poor reality of developing countries where the profit of gold earned by ying all day in virtual reality is overwhelming rather than engaging in the existing livelihood. In the midst of this virtual reality market, the whole world is heating up. A country was quietly preparing for a slightly distant future. Then, lets start the 32nd secret meeting of the Peoples Republic of China. All conversations made here are ssified as first-ss confidential pursuant to Article 32, Paragraph 3 of the Secret Protection Act, and production and export of all future rted records are strictly prohibited. Therefore... The Ministry of Finance, the upper body responsible for and in charge of all economic policies in China. At this meeting where all the key powers, including China''s top leader, were gathered, the highestmanding officer of the Ministry of Finance was directly presenting a report with a serious face. Recently, the value of gold, which is used in the virtual reality game Arcadia, is being solidified. As the U.S. Treasury Department recognizes it as an official currency and actual value linkage with the dor is made, it is a trend that is epted as a global change. Therefore, in our government... The Chinese government has paid extraordinary attention and watched the emergence of virtual reality technology more than anyone else. However, among various government departments in China, especially the Ministry of Finance, the interest in Arcadia was different. Those who watched and closely observed this virtual world with an almost obsessive level. That is why such a huge economic paradigm change on a global scale has made them aware. So, in conclusion, is the conclusion that the value of gold will continue to be maintained in the future, and furthermore, it will be a strategic asset and key currency that boasts enormous influence throughout the virtual reality industry? That''s right. As a result of discussing this with top economic experts at the Ministry of Finance, it was analyzed that this gold could be an international currency recing all currencies around the world in the future, or it could be a key currency equal to or surpassing the dor. Confident remarks by the Minister of Finance. However, everyone murmured with doubts about the fact that gold, which is just data that does not even exist, will grow into an asset with such tremendous value. Does that make sense...? Huh..... Assets in a game run by a singlepany are like that...? This is an incredible story. Realistically impossible. A story that can''t be exined or understood withmon sense so far. However, the head of the finance department was persuading the absurd im he had made with a face full of conviction. Normally not possible. However, based on our analysis of recent events, we determined that the United States continues to show a movement behind the scenes to develop gold as a key currency with a statusparable to the dor. The U.S. Treasury Department officially dered that it would regte gold, which was only game money, as a currency and asset. And when the IRA came forward and even newly established rted tax regtions and acknowledged the existence of gold, the global trend itself followed suit and incorporated gold into the institutional system. In addition, Arcadia Co., Ltd. is responding to this institutionalization movement by continuing to release systems that provide near-perfectplementarity and convenience ording to the principle of one ount per person. Therefore, there is a trend that continues to increase the number of real-life gold transactions beyond virtual goods transactions. Co., Ltd.unched an application called Gold-Wallet that allows you to directly check the goods earned in the game with your smartphone and exchange them freely, or send and receive them to other people''s ounts, enabling their use in reality. Arcadia. Therefore, with sharp eyes, the Minister of Finance spoke of a conclusion drawn by his subordinates by synthesizing theplex and ndestine international situation and diplomatic interests. The internationalization of gold and its incorporation into an official currency are the goals the United States has decided to keep China in check. In order to prevent and check the conversion of the Yuan into a key currency, which all the leaders who attended this meeting, including our Ministry of Finance, are working tirelessly. And we judged that it contains the purpose of further solidifying themand of the dor as the key currency in the future. The dor is the key currency used in most transactions around the world. The United States boasts a huge influence on the world economy by printing this dor. China''s grand dream, which hurts and is jealous of their actions more than anyone else. Incorporation of the Yuan as a key currency, one of the major goals of the Chinese Dream. To achieve this, those who were pushing ahead with various ns and policies one after another kept their mouth shut to the data that the Minister of Finance continued to present. Due to the birth of virtual reality and Arcadia, the influence of the yuan has decreasedpared to before. In the current situation, if gold rose rapidly, its status would have to retreat, so the faces of those who attended the meeting grew darker and darker. So...what is the solution the Ministry of Finance is proposing? Chinese President Xian Chang broke silence and opened his mouth. When he, who had all the decision-making power at this meeting, asked a question, all eyes turned to Xian Chang at once. And in response to his question, the Finance Minister said with a determined face. For the glory of the People''s Republic of China and the faithful worker of the Republic of China, the Ministry of Finance has devised an operation to destroy the trust of the world so that this virtual currency called gold cannot y a role as a currency. Breaking trust...? how....? People who listen to the words with a little interest in the face. And their faces brightened at the exnation of the finance minister, and one agenda was finally decided without anyone objecting. One grand project to resist the heinous Western powers that hinder the great dream of China. That is the Golden Road. Chapter 366 Chapter 366 Currency War (2) Virtual reality realized to a level that is indistinguishable from reality. Arcadia. However, because of its fundamental identity as a game, Arcadia had numerous systems that could not be seen in real life. status window. Inventory. Quest info. friend list. Note. party system. . . . In addition to that, Arcadia is full of convenience devices for countless adventurers wandering another virtual world. And among them, the most actively used and important system by users was the auction house. integrated auction house. In this game, which is enjoyed by billions of people and maintains hundreds of millions of real-time visitors 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, a huge market where everyone can buy and sell all the items they own and also freely exchange all their game money for cash. . Therefore, the amount of gold traded every day in this auction house boasted astronomical figures and continued to increase as time passed. And although the full support of superpowers such as the United States yed a role in the foundation, the basic perfection of this auction house system yed a bigger role than that. [All transactions in Arcadia''s auction house are made in the same way as the contract system in the game. All transactions made through this auction house are recorded and stored in a virtual ledger, and the details of the transaction, excluding the identity information of the traders, are disclosed transparently in real time. This ensuresplete integrity, security and transparency. Therefore, Arcadia Co., Ltd. does not have the right to directly intervene in any transaction, so users are strongly advised to be cautious in all transactions . A system that is transparent, fair, and even transparent. In general, all sorts of idents broke out in this auction house, which cut off the means to use their power, unlike the normal in-game economy and auction house, which had a powerful authority in their hands and intervened by abusing it. -X feet. I identally sold it for 10 gold to raise 100 gold. how does this not work? -X done. eat fraud. I had to buy 100 material items for 20 gold, but I bought one for 20 gold. -Eh..... I bid as a joke, and I got the bid at twice the market price. How can I not cancel this? -Hey, why are there so many swindlers fooling around in this dungmangem? -The price of the item I bought 2 weeks ago has dropped a lot recently. It''s almost 30% off. Is this refundable? The Fair Trade Commission says that a simple change of mind before the 14th can be refunded... ^^ -How much cash did I put in here, but there is no discount? Are there any benefits like membership? Mistakes, trades, price mistakes, simple change of heart, scams... In addition to that, all sorts of problems arise and the auction house has no wind. In particr, in Arcadia, which is essible to a variety of ages, from young teenagers to middle-aged people who have never yed games, from basic mistakes to all kinds of outrageous scams and absurd demands for the truth. However, like a lotus flower blooming in this dirty muddy water, the world viewed Arcadia''s auction house system very positively. [All economic and financial systems in the world we live in are driven by centralized control. Therefore, as one policy changes, the currency value can rise or fall like crazy, and it can move very unstable. Rather, this auction house and gold, which have limited and reduced their influence to the maximum, will be closer to a model of a transparent and fair decentralized economy unprecedented in human history. That''s why it''s the most reliable. The price will be set ording to the most basic principles of supply and demand without anyone''s intervention.] Although there is a risk that the transaction concluded due to individual mistakes and mistakes cannot be reversed, it is an attractive policy to ept it. In addition, another unconventional policy of Arcadia Co., Ltd. seduced and brought in a huge amount of financial capital from around the world. [In addition, Arcadia''s auction house adheres to the policy of 0%mission on all transactions. Thanks to their firm belief that they will not pursue any profit in transactions between users, they have apetitive edge that is iparable to any real bank and financial system. That''s why Arcadia''s auction house and gold must be a really innovative and attractive investment market.] That''s why the price of gold fluctuates freely every day, 24 hours a day, without a single day off. The price, which people decide on their own and go up and down ording to supply and demand, little by little, but not even for a minute or a second, was moving in a somewhat stable flow. 1 gold - 100000$. The currency value of gold that fluctuates repeatedly with a 2-3% error in the price range to the extent that it is called the 100,000 won barrier. Except for the very early days, the price range had been maintained at almost the same level, so people traded numerous items based on that price, sold and bought gold again. But from one day, suddenly..... the price that was firm was very little, but it started to wriggle continuously through the wall. 1 gold - 105000$. 1 gold - 92000$. 1 gold - 110000$. No matter how many, gold started to show a 2-3% error, rising over 5% and even 10% in a situation where it moved and then falling again. And since the movement of such an unstable market directly affects all users who use the auction house, the reaction began to appear almost immediately. -??? I paid 10 million won, but why 90 gold? -Why is the gold market like this these days? isn''t that crazy - Ugh hahaha Honey. I cashed out all my goldst time, but that was a godsend. - No, I recently bought arge amount of gold to change my system, but what is this? The annoyance and regret of those who buy gold at a high price and get angry, and those who sell gold at a low price and shed bloody tears. And a confusing situation in which the joy of those who luckily benefited from among them coexists. However, no one really knew why this anomaly was happening. - No, why the hell is the price of gold suddenly so damn high? - Really lol. What kind of virtual currency or asset is it, and what kind of currency is the price? -Aren''t these damn shit mangem operators stabilizing the market price? In less than a week, the price started showing incredible vtility, moving between 20% gains and doing things it hadn''t shown before. And as if they had been waiting for that moment, countless economists and financial experts appeared in the media and on camera and began to cut down the entire virtual economic structure with fierce momentum. [This is a story I''ve been insisting on for a long time, but virtual currency is just trash that doesn''t exist. Do things that are just data made up of 0 and 1 have real value and are linked to the real economy? under. That''s really absurd bullshit.] [Look at the rate of change in the price of gold shown this time. In just one week, it has gone up and down 10% from its original price of $100. If the currency value shows such an enormous rate of change overnight, can we really use it as currency? A situation where groups exist. Therefore, the argument of the opponents gained persuasiveness in this unstable appearance of gold, which was seen for the first time, and soon began to expand into a worldwide controversy. - Will gold really be able to rece currency? - Arcadia Co., Ltd., which insists on a decentralized economy. An unconditional liberal who has forgotten past failures? - Virtual currency without central control. Intensive analysis of its vulnerabilities and problems. Negative public opinion and media articles pouring in in an instant. And in the midst of that unstable movement and swaying public opinion, there were those who secretlyughed and toasted. Cheuk ca... ha ha ha. This has been very sessful. The Minister of Finance of the People''s Republic of China toasting with a face full of joy. He held out his ss to one of the people who was entertaining him with a smile on his face, amid the piles of expensive Kaoliang wine bottles. This time, the credit for yourpany is Chairman Mawon Kuo. Ma Yuan, chairman of Panda Baba, a giant financial and logistics conglomerate in China. He had a mighty influence holding a world-sspany that everyone looked up to and wielding it, but in front of the head of the finance department, he was busy rubbing his hands and feet like a fly caught by a lifeline and trying to please him. no. This was possible thanks to the wise and outstanding leadership of our esteemed Finance Director, Llewis Pay. you''re right. Isnt that the only thing weve done is to provide funding? This is all thanks to our Communist leaderships insight into the future. A ce where the heads of many giant corporations supporting China, led by Mawon, gathered together. Here, they were busy praising and giving all the credit to Chinese President Xian Chang and the entire leadership of the Communist Party, including the Minister of Finance. I know it''s a mouthful, but the head of the finance department is excited by the praise that follows. He smiled sincerely and muttered in a drunken tone as he filled the ss of Chairman Mawon, who was standing in front of him with a sharp face. I will tell you about your recent mistake. Um... are you really doing that? Ma Yuan, who recently made critical remarks in public on China''s financial authorities and economic policies, caught the wrath of the Chinese leadership and was put in a situation like a ticking time bomb, where his lifeline was cut short overnight. His face turned red at the words of the Finance Director, which seemed to mean that he would forgive his sins. Even the President doesn''t want Panda Baba to be shaken. Whatever it is, isnt Panda Baba an important business and a ce of life for our people? Obviously, the atmosphere ispletely different from the one a month ago when they ran rampant and dered that they would destroy thepany itself to the point of dismantling it so that no trace could be found. And he muttered not to worry as he saw Mawon pouring a drink into his ss. Since you have proven that you are not a trashy person whose ideology has beenpletely contaminated by Western culture, but a worker who faithfully works for the people and our Communist Party, the President will feel the need to watch over you a little longer, just like me. Thank you! thank you! Mawon prostrates himself with an almost tearful expression and expresses his utmost gratitude. And the head of the Finance Department, who was looking down on him, immediately poured alcohol into his mouth and spoke to the heads and presidents of dozens of giant corporations gathered in front of him. Youd better not be so excited about it. Our n has only reached the beginning. The United States dominates the world economy. And the Western powers gathered around the United States. He said, dering that he would wage an invisible and fierce war with them. Now the time hase for our people and China to finally rise! China will no longer hide its power. Chapter 367 Chapter 367 Currency War (3) A game genre where each person enjoys an adventure ording to their role in a single world. MMORPGs. However, as with any game, there was one problem that urred with all games of this genre as time passed after the game was released. Intion, which urs indefinitely in the game economy. Game money obtained as basic rewards by hunting monsters, solving quests, and exploring various dungeons and ruins in the game. The reality is that the total amount of game money, which starts with 0 at first but increases indefinitely, theoretically increases the market price indefinitely and leads to a tragic ending thatpletely destroys the in-game economy. That''s why many developers have made various attempts by mobilizing all kinds of oundish and insane ideas to prevent such an ending and maintain the economic bnce in the game. Forcibly incinerate a certain percentage of game money through huge transaction fees. Inducing huge consumption of game money by setting exorbitant costs for all kinds of enhancements and game contents. Even while limiting the supply and demand of excessive game money in the name of a bnce patch. However, Arcadia Co., Ltd. adopted a slightly unique method. [Even if you hunt monsters, you won''t get gold directly as a reward. Have you ever seen slime carry money inmon sense? I don''t know if you can get a certain level of gold by finding hidden treasure chests in dungeons or ruins, but... Basically, in Arcadia, you''ll have to go around picking up the by-products you get from hunting monsters hard.] Doesn''t drop game money monsters. Along with the realistic question of whether they saw the monster carrying money, they made it impossible to acquire gold, the game money, through hunting. Arcadia, where you can only get by-products of all kinds of monsters called japtem through hunting. And you had to sell it to shops or merchants in nearby towns to acquire actual game money. And the process was not as easy as I thought. -Kuhmm..... It''s a face I''ve never seen before..... Kobold mrs are 10 bronze each. - If you don''t want to sell it, don''t. After all, there are many people to sell other than you. -Hey... How long have you been looking for it? -How much did you think you would pay for a town like this? If you don''t like cigars, you can take them to the big city yourself. Most of the shop owners who handle these japtem are negotiators who have reached a certain level. With brilliant speech and a keen sense of the market price, they hit the price as much as possible, grabbing a hukou whenever they had the opportunity and eating it at a bargain price, so the users had no choice but to get tired. -X haircut! I really want to kill the shopkeeper bastard. -and. They said they didnt know the market price well, so they charged less than half the price. If I hadn''t checked the market price in Arpendia, I would have been scammed properly. -No, but isn''t this too vicious? What kind of game market price is at the discretion of the store owner? Arcadia, which rotates and moves in detail and borately, no different from reality. production and consumption. supply, demand and distribution. This world, in which all economic cycles and links were perfectly implemented, was a veryplicated and difficult system for users who just wanted to get stronger by killing monsters and enjoying all sorts of adventures without thinking. And as a result, they thought. -Ah, is there anyone who buys japtem fixedly at a reasonable price? Demand from those who desperately want someone to do the job for them as a business. And that job started to attract attention in Arcadia. Merchant. A job that goes back and forth between each town and city, buysrge quantities of local products and by-products from monsters, and transports them to profit from market profits. And the importance of the influence and role of merchants in Arcadia was greater than expected. [What I would like to advise to those of you who want to walk the path of a merchant in Arcadia is that the path will not be as easy as you think.] A young man in his 30s holding onto a microphone and speaking at a university podium. Wearing a stylish suit, he was talking earnestly in front of numerous college students who were paying attention and listening to his words. [It''s not just a merchant who throws a money bag and hunts monsters while saying he''s a merchant. How much market profit was earned, how much trust was gained by transporting goods stably, and how advantageous contracts were won through negotiations and negotiations. You can grow through these series of achievements. Seriously, it has nothing to do withbat ability, and it develops characters purely throughmercial activities.] Unlike other games where only patterns are merchant'' and battles are forced to y, Arcadia can truly live a life as a merchant''. Recalling the process he had been through there, he smiled strangely and continued. [For merchants, it is more important to have an eye for hiring mercenaries to stop the bandits and monsters attacking the goods being transported and the guild rather than strong fighting skills. Decisions such as How strong will the monsters and bandits attack this time, and how much power should I hire mercenaries in the process to safely transport the goods at minimal cost?'' These are problems that correspond to the risk management we talk about in general corporations.] [In addition, unexpected variables must be considered. Speaking of my previous experience, there was a time when I bought arge amount of precious metals, which were high-value specialties, from the Pakkel Kingdom in order to sell them to the Harmel Empire. However, the Harmel Empire suddenly entered a war with the Barmal Empire, and was eventually defeated and suffered a devastating blow. As a result, it became difficult for the nobles who would eventually purchase precious metals, a luxury item, and the price of precious metals plummeted, resulting in huge losses. ] A world like a bloody wild, where enormous profits and losses can be suffered in an instant amidst the storms and whirlwinds of great change. And he, who survived there and is living his second life as a merchant, finished his lecture with a bright smile on what he really wanted to say. [So the fact that you survived as a merchant in Arcadia would be tantamount to proving your abilities. Especially for those of you majoring in economics, the experience of bing a merchant and running your ownpany will be a very valuable lesson that you won''t be able to learn even if you pay moneyter. Just like I did.] p p p p. At the end of his lecture, college students enthusiastically apud and reciprocate. That''s also because the person who gave a lecture in front of them was not at the level of an outside lecturer who no one knows about boring stories. [If you''re already ying as a merchant in Arcadia and have a difficult task that you need help with, don''t hesitate to knock on the door at the top of our pie. Numerous experts with great experience and skills will give you generous advice and help.] Pie Top, which has risen to the top of the world''srgest single top spot beyond Korea. Apple, one of the co-owners at the top and the de facto right holder. He was enjoying a proud feeling as if he was returning to his hometown afterpleting the manorial examination in the past, at this moment when he visited his alma mater after a long time and gave a lecture to the students of the department he graduated from. [Let''s just ask a few questions and wrap it up..... Yes. There...] I''m not joking, all the students who listened to the lecture raised their hands in perfect order to say they had a question. Apple pointed to one student, slightly embarrassed by the enthusiasm of those who expressed excessive interest in themselves, making them wonder if they were not elementary school students but college students with extremely low concentration and interest. [This is what I recently saw on the news. There was a story that the top of the pie earned 14 million gold in gold revenue for a year. If you calcte it in Hanwha, it''s a lot of money, which amounts to 1.4 trillion won. Is it really? Or is it just a rumor?] A mischievous male student deliberately asking a sensitive question with a slightly mischievous smile. How much did you earn honestly? It must have felt bad for the quick question, but Apple responded so calmly. [Although the news is a bit wrong... but it''s not wrong. My top... No, our pie top''s operating profit this year was 15,232,911 gold, 29 silver, and 28 bronze, so it was rather more than that.] Apple''s statement that it earned 1,523,291,129,280 won. And at that moment, an astonished silence lingered in the ssroom. [So.... are you saying that you made about 100 billion more than what was on the news?] [ That''s right.] [.....] A male student sits down without saying anything. And soon all sorts of stormy questions started pouring in. Questions about the secret of how he managed to achieve such a huge sess with only two fists. And to that question, Apple gave a very humble answer. [It was sheer luck that I was able to seed. I met a person who introduced me and my wife, who knew nothing, to the harsh and harsh reality of virtual reality. Perhaps, without that person, the top of the pie would have been just a small top that I still don''t even know the name of.] ...? ...? A story simr to Apple''s retrospective and confession that begins with the story that everything he has achieved started with just one stroke of luck. He did not reveal who the main character was, but he spoke with a slightly hazy face as if he had returned to that moment. [I remember the words of the benefactor who saved the Pi corps from the crisis against the collective and barbaric game market intervention of the GM corps and furthermore supported them both physically and mentally. Earn tens of thousands of gold a year and take half of it, or earn hundreds and thousands of gold and take it. The words that asked me to think about which side would be profitable.] The person who suggested that he hold his hand after over 50% of the stake. Someone asked in an urgent voice to Apple, who had been making a vague expression with her mouth firmly shut for a moment as she recalled her memories with that person. [Wait a minute. What do you mean by that? Earning tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands and taking half of them..... Does that mean Apple and Lemon aren''t the only owners of the Pie Merchant ? A sharp question from a female student who noticed. And to that question, Apple answered with a slight shake of its head as if it was time to reveal it. [yes. That''s right.] Ugh..... Really? I didnt know at all... Wow... Awesome. A lecture room agitated by facts that have not been revealed to anyone. However, Apple has been very unconcerned about continuing the story. [The top of the pie is actually owned by me and my wife 25% each. So it''s safe to say that my husband and I and his benefactor actually jointly own the guild.] 5 50%? This crazy... you took half of it? That huge top? An unidentified benefactor who owns half of the stake in an enormous virtual top business that makes trillions of dors in profits in just one year. There were a lot of questions about the man, but Apple kept their mouth shut. It just expresses infinite trust and loyalty to that person. That was all. [I will not do anything to hurt him no matter what. Even if this top of the pie takes a lot of damage, if I can help him, I canugh and pour all my gold.] Chapter 368 Chapter 368 Currency War (4) Capitalism, an ideology and ideology that dominates the world that maximizesbor and productivity based on human''s infinite desire. As for the efficiency and effectiveness of this ideology, it has already been proven with the decline ofmunism in the past, and has established itself as a paradigm for the whole of mankind, and at the same time, the financial industry has also grown and developed brilliantly. spend money and eat money Traditional banks and investmentpanies that lend money, receive interest, invest capital, and receive profits dozens of times. Those who take reasonable risks and take profits at amon sense level, contributing to vitalizing the economy and capital flow throughout society. However, as time passed, deformities began to appear little by little. [The recent plunge in world grain prices has caused a panic in grain markets around the world. Experts analyzed that the sustained abundance of crops in recent years and the resulting rapid increase in stockpiled grains were the cause, but rather than that, the main reason was that hedge funds in the futures market bet huge amounts of money on price declines to encourage the decline. I analyzed it.] [A Chinese investmentpany that acquired Merdin, France''srgest nuclear power nt constructionpany, recently announced a resale and put it on the market. In this regard, public opinion is boiling inside France that they sold all of thepany''s major assets, omitting only the source technology, and only took huge dividends and gave only the shell.] An entity that disrupts the world economy. A hyena in the financial world who deals with anything in the world, does not blink an eye at any immoral thing that makes money, and makes a huge profit in between. hedge fund. If I had to pick one of the most famous hedge funds out there, it was Miracle Investments, which in the past brought the Bank of Ennd to its knees and shattered the British pound. Since that incident, those who have too powerful influence for a single fund to have. Since then, it has caused numerous incidents that marked a milestone in the world''s financial history, and in the process, Miracle Investment earned huge profits and went on a winning streak. Soros, general manager of Miracle Investments, who managed hundreds of trillions of astronomical funds and became an absolute big hand in the world''s financial world. Even today, he reviewed the reports brought by his subordinate managers and was busy searching for new prey. what? Why is Texas crude still at $46? Didnt you make it clearst time that you would make it over $50 before this due date? Soros reviewing the status of existing investments. Contrary to expectations, he confirmed the sluggish crude oil price and the millions of dors in damages caused by it, and questioned the manager in charge with cold eyes. That''s it... Recently , crude oil inventories in the US have exceeded the expected figures, and consumption has decreased due to the recent deterioration in the industrial economy. In the world futures market, where every minute and every second plunges and soars differently, it is a situation that can be expected. But Soros eximed with resentment, as if he could not tolerate even such a small mistake. Such a wormy bastard! Why don''t you go in front of your customers and say that? You say your analytical skills are stupid, so you lost millions of dors instead of making a profit? Pk. Bundles of reports that are angry and flutter like fire. Then he said coldly, looking at the responsible manager standing there with a pale face. Right now, make up for the loss you guys forgot within this week. If you fail, your entire team will be fired that same day. okay? I see! sorry! A dangerous situation in which the entire team''s lifeline is at stake due to a momentary mistake. Soros''s inhuman, cold, and merciless decision, which evaluates only by performance, regardless of seniority or personality. But nheless, none of the lead analysts in the officeined or argued about it. The hedge fund industry is a rugged and dangerous wild ce where a single mistake in judgment can lead to huge losses. That''s why no one looked at Soros'' decision with a critical eye. I just look at the failed loser with pathetic eyes. Anyway, I dont know why things are so pathetic these days. The distribution is not asrge as before, but it is not that I have an insight to correctly predict the market flow. Do you think I hired you guys to make some pennies? uh? Unlike general and stable investments, Soros is looking for a new investment destination that is risky but can get huge profits. He wants to feel the exhrating sense of victory and conquest again, as he did when he overthrew the British central bank in the past. However, the investment proposals and reports of the analysts under Soros'' eyes were really boring and banal. If you really want to earn money properly and be first-ss, try thinking that others cant. Do something no one sees or even imagines! Don''t push this rubbish at me! charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr In a fit of rage, Soros turns over all the reports that have not yet been reviewed on the desk. And he shouted in front of dozens of general managers who were bowing their heads in front of him, standing with his feet on hundreds of scattered sheets of paper. I will not tolerate any losses at the end of this month. Bastards who don''t want to pack up and sit down on the street right now, don''t choose any means and methods and make it unconditionally profitable. okay? Yeah old! All right. Managers who all reply to his words with blushing faces. Looking at them like that, Soros shouted in an annoyed voice as if he didn''t like it. If you understand, get out of here! Because I don''t want to see you! Managers rushed out of the office, fearing that no one would be defeated by his banquet order. And soon after watching the trading room outside be noisy and busy with sharp eyes, he turned around, lowering the window blinds. Eh... Tzu-tzu... Damn bastards who can''t even pay for a meal... Soros, gritting his teeth, tried to return to his seat. But at that moment. As if by fate, he saw the title of a report that had been trampled and soiled by his feet. [Virtual currency gold. Is it a new innovation or worthless garbage?] This is...? A report that analyzes thetest global issues and trends. Picking up the report written by an unknown analyst, Soros so casually opened the first page that he fell in love with it without realizing it. [Despite being a currency that is not controlled by any one group, it has a deformed form in which its value is stably maintained with overall trust in the world. However, the management body and supervisory system are not yetplete, so the legal regtion and safety for the transaction are in an ambiguous state of anomie. Thus.....] An analysis of virtual reality and Arcadia, which have recently been hot winds around the world. In addition, the future prospects for gold, amodity in games that has recently been used and recognized as currency, and the risks arising from theck of legal and institutional maintenance. Soros, who thought it was a fairly useful report among the reports he had seen recently, which had been preceded by a lot of research and research, had his eyes widened when he saw the phrase written at the end. [If you look at the recent fluctuations in the price of gold, movements that can be estimated that a certain force is intervening in the currency value are observed. In this regard, although we have not confirmed the subject and purpose, it seems likely that there will be a lot of vtility and movement in the future, and we need to keep an eye on and respond to this. Also.....] Changes in the price of gold...? At that, Soros hurriedly essed Arfandia and checked the recent gold price graph. And his heart began to beat like crazy when he looked at the changes from the time when Arcadia, the first virtual reality game of mankind, first started service and the currency exchange system was fully established and settled down to now. pounding. The market value of gold, which had been running smoothly in parallel until just a week ago. However, seeing the recent fluctuations in the price fluctuate up and down like crazy and even the trading volume soared, Soros'' long-dormant hyena instinct began to wake up to the smell that pierced his nose. I don''t know what kind of bastard he is... but he''s definitely trying to eat a bowl of it here. Soros has risen to the top ranks after surviving in this tough financial industry for decades. He felt that the currency war that had led him to sess in the past was about to be reproduced again in virtual reality, and soon felt the passion that had already cooled down in his heart re up again. The total daily transaction volume alone is worth 1.5 trillion dors... A currency that is made on an astronomical scale, reaching 1800 trillion won in one day alone. The fact that gold, which already had a huge global influence to that extent, was running around in this way, and the fact that a huge force he did not know was hiding behind it, Soros smiled with his sharp eyes shining. Fun. If you didn''t know, you didn''t know, but since you already noticed, it''s too attractive and juicy enough to just watch. With that in mind, Soros once again called all the general managers he had kicked out, recalling the mysterious group who wanted to cook and enjoy dinner at their own pace, except for himself. ...? Soros, who never calls them during a trading session. When he broke the unwritten rule and summoned all of them together in an unusual way, the faces of the general managers were full of doubts, but Soros'' deration turned their faces into astonishment. Clean up all assets that can be liquidated now and put them into liquidation. Put all the short-term projects that need to be funded right away on hold. yes....? What is that... The managers are agitated by the bomb deration dropped out of nowhere. And one of them came forward with a gun and spoke with a spleen face. Chairman, that instruction seems unreasonable no matter how much I think about it. We expect that even the stocks we invested in this time will yield at least 200% of returns after this quarter. If you clean up now, you could miss out on huge potential returns. Please improve one more time. Numerous stocks that are expected to make good profits as the analysis that the whole team put their heads together and predicted is correct. At Soros''s words to liquidate them all and turn them into cash, everyone started to groan. Thats right. Besides, if we were to liquidate right away, we might not be able to get the full price..... Our team also... The managers expressed disapproval, saying that they would suffer huge losses. He looked at Soros, who was giving orders beyondmon sense, with a concerned eye and held him back, but he did not hear their sincere concerns and advice. The time of his most splendid and brilliant heyday. Feeling the same emotions he felt back then, as if he had been younger for decades, Soros dered to them all with a face so sure. From now on, we will y gold with Miracle Investments life and death. The beginning of a huge currency war between the virtual currency gold. Chapter 369 Chapter 369 Currency War (5) Arcadia''s auction house has a huge number of users in the billions. Dozens of hundreds of transactions are concluded every minute and one second, and bids and order requests for new prices for tens of millions of items are received here. Even banks and securitiespanies with the world''s best technology generate so much traffic that they cannot even dare to handle it. was doing And Arcadia Co., Ltd., which handles such an enormous level of information like flowing water and perfectly operates the auction house system. What made this auction house possible, which was absolutely impossible with the existing technology, was none other than the outstanding ability of the artificial intelligence Alice, which supports and manages this virtual world. She manages and is in charge of all tasks, from the sale and purchase of goods to gold and currency exchange, as well as detection and tracking of illegal slush funds and terrorist funds. From one day, Alice''s excellent sensorwork suddenly began to capture strange movements. [Anomaly detected. Gold''s price vtility surges.] One day, the currency price of gold suddenly started to move steeply up and down without any particr direction. And when the phenomenon happened repeatedly and the trading volume started to explode, Alice, who had data on all these virtual transactions, could immediately figure out the reason. [Detection of motion of mass collection. A 28% reduction in the market cirction of gold.] A situation where the amount of gold released in the market traded through the auction house decreased by as much as 28%. It was a huge market beyond imagination, with an amount of 1,800 trillion won traded per day alone, so the fact that gold with such an astronomical value disappeared from the market in an instant and went into someone''s pocket was not something to be inadvertently overlooked. [Increased market value uncertainty. Switch to intensive analysis mode...] So, her calction system began to operate furiously. To figure out the cause of this abnormal phenomenon in Arcadia and who are hiding behind it. And she immediately ran to the person responsible for solving the problem and reported the fact. What do you mean, Alice? China is plotting something with Arcadia? President Lee Mi-yeon, who was peacefully working in the afternoon, was a little taken aback by Alice who suddenly intruded into the monitor, but asked with a hard face at her story. [This is a list of those who bought gold using the auction house in thest 3 weeks. Manager check it out.] Ellis opens up inside data on recent trading trends. And President Lee Mi-yeon, who was carefully checking the names on the list she picked out, said with a frown. What is this huge amount of purchases? The person who bought the most is 50 trillion....? Isnt this crazy? A situation where there is 500 million gold in one person''s ount. No matter how rich she was in the world, there was no way she wouldmit such an insane act unless she was hit with a shotgun in the head, so she too was astonished as she scrolled down her mouse, checking the list of names that were endlessly unfolding. First of all... I understand what you mean. ounts from the United States and various Western countries are also visible, but... First of all, most of the ounts that have recently purchased gold are ounts belonging to China, right? [Yes.] Chinese ounts that have swept away all gold on the market by investing tens of trillions of won to at least hundreds of billions of won. Seeing the enormous amount of money possessed by these ounts, which were distributed among hundreds of thousands of ounts, but could not be thought of as belonging to ordinary people, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a really meaningful expression. No matter how you look at it, it seems like the government intervened? [My analysis also judges that the possibility is high.] The Chinese government, one of the countries that showed the most lukewarm and negative attitude toward virtual reality. Regarding theunch of Arcadia''s service, they gave all sorts of reasons that it harmsmunism and reduces the people''s morale to work, and made all sorts of ridiculous and unreasonable demands such as time limits, technology transfer, and independent server construction. Of course, he was able to dramatically conclude negotiations with the Chinese government, which ended up giving up the service after President Lee Mi-yeon''s deration that he would give up the service rather than sumbing to power abuse, and was able tounch virtual reality. A situation where they are only looking for an opportunity to cheat. That''s why President Lee Mi-yeon asked with sharp eyes shining. Could you rify a little more? [The part about the ns and purposes concocted by the Chinese government is beyond mypetence. It is impossible without Argos'' cooperation.] Unlike Alice, who oversees virtual reality, Argos, an artificial intelligence, is responsible for all information in reality. However, it was virtually impossible to seek their cooperation as it was operated under the strict management and supervision of the US government in apletely independent form. And President Lee Mi-yeon, who knows that fact better than anyone else, said with a sad expression on her lips. yes....? Then we have to find out with the contents here..... Hmm..... A huge amount of transaction records traded with Chinese ounts. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was examining them closely and estimating the amount of gold they purchased, soon found a familiar name among the top buyers, as if he had heard it somewhere, and shook his head. Wait... Mawon...? Could this be the Mawon I know? [That''s right. As a result of coting subscriber information, it matches Mawon, the president of Panda Baba.] The name of Mawon written in the top 5. When he saw his name, a developer who founded Panda Baba, China''srgest Inte trading site, and a sessful, self-made businessman, who often appeared on TV and on the Inte, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered with an iprehensible expression. Didnt this personpletely disappear from the eyes of the Chinese government recently? Rumors circte that the mouse or bird might have died without even noticing. [The exact reason is unknown, but it is certain that the owner of the ount is Ma Won.] President Lee Mi-yeon looked puzzled at the fact that the person most unlikely to cooperate with the Chinese government was a gold buyer in the top five. And she immediately asked Elise the most essential question. For now, everything is fine. Let''s say that the Chinese government is behind the scenes of this mad rush to buy gold. So, what will the aftermath of this incident be? The Chinese government sweeps away gold at an astounding level because it''s hot. In response to her question about what her intention was, Alice brought an enormous report right in front of President Lee Mi-yeon''s eyes. [ording to my brief analysis, it is divided into 1323 scenarios, and various situations will ur. First things first.....] Ellis is trying to make a report that doesn''t seem to end even after staying up all night. Cutting off her ignorant report, President Lee Mi-yeon said urgently. Dont tell me all of them, just tell me the most usible ones. Only those scenarios that pose a mortal threat to us or need to be addressed as significant issues. Alice creates hundreds of thousands of possible scenarios and reacts ordingly. President Lee Mi-yeon, unable to keep up with her cognitive ability, asked her to select only a few things, and at her request, Alice told an iprehensible story. [That request is impossible.] What...? Alice says that her request to be abbreviated is impossible. At her unexpected reaction, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked with a puzzled expression. And Alice began to exin the reason in a calm tone. [Assuming that the Chinese government is behind these Chinese people who have umted arge amount of gold, the 1323 purposes and their resulting influence can be limitedly divided into the danger and significance of each individual case, but everything is closely rted. Because the aftermath will appear serially, it is impossible to limit and exin just a few.] What...? What are you talking about? Alice predicted the numerous aftermath of this situation. And she began to tell an unsettling story that would make the hearts of all the employees of Arcadia, including President Lee Mi-yeon, shake. [I don''t normally like quotations, but since there''s a phrase that best describes the current situation, I''ll quote a phrase from my database to exin it, admin.] Then one phrase shes on the monitor. Having worked at a securitiespany in the past, she jumped up from her seat with a shocked look on her face when Ellis spoke the famous saying that anyone who has ever yed stocks knows. - You can calcte the movements of heavenly bodies, but you cannot calcte the madness of humans. (I can calcte the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.) Newton, a genius physicist born by mankind. A quote that will be forever recorded in human history, uttered with a heart full of regret and self-deprecation after suffering a painful loss from stock investment. Seeing that he suddenly spit it out in this situation, President Lee Mi-yeon said urgently at a thought that passed through his head like lightning. Ellis, show me thetest gold trading volume and quote chart right now. [I understand.] At the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, the gold price graph immediately appears on the monitor. And as soon as she saw the graph, she could see that something was wrong. China holds in its hands as much as 30% of the gold circted through the auction house. Strangely, however, the market price did not move much from the existing 100,000 won and stayed at a simr level. An iprehensible and bizarre movement in which the price of gold, which should have risen at least three times, even plummeted by 10%. And keeping the market price stable in this way was tantamount to saying that China''s intention, which had already preupied by umting a huge amount, was very deeply reflected. If you buy so much and the seeds of gold are drying up, but the market price is still the same... Are you these bastards just holding down the price? Now, wait a minute... Then, this time, no way...? It would be difficult for ordinary people to notice, but it is a situation that anyone who has studied stocks and securities properly and put their feet in can understand. Charts don''t lie. A staggering amount of trading, revealed so honestly. And it was so hard to show that it was blocking the entrance by suppressing the price with a huge amount of volume and giving a lot of downward pressure, so it was a situation that there was no way that those clever and lucrative hyenas who rushed at it would not be able to stand still. . The initial state of the graph, which will go up like crazy, burning the buying sentiment that has been blocked until now, the moment you get on the uptrend even a little bit. and that moment. As if she were really lying, the moment she was looking at the graph in real time, a huge, long bee peak began to be drawn. pod. pod. pod. Graphs soar upwards without hesitation and ignorance without knowing the ceiling as each minute and one second passes. President Lee Mi-yeon froze with a shocked expression on her face as she watched the gold chart, which had risen by as much as 30% in less than 10 minutes. These.... Damn X''s bastards... Chapter 370 Chapter 370 Currency War (6) Arcadia has be a global game enjoyed by billions of subscribers. Therefore, the skyrocketing price of this gold used in Arcadia was literally chewed up and ripped off by major media outlets and various cyber lekkers so brutally that even the shape could not be recognized in an instant. [This is breaking news. The price of gold, the virtual currency used in the virtual reality game Arcadia, has soared by more than 50%. This happened rapidly in less than 30 minutes and is not showing any significant change at present. However, it is known that many experts are concerned about this anomaly.] [Recently, the market value of gold, which has been internationally recognized as an official currency, has shown rapid vtility. Although the exact reason has not been revealed yet, it is said that the recently observed price movement has been further maximized, foreshadowing that additional excessive rises and falls may be repeated in the future. So...] [Your brother said it before, right? If this virtual currency is recognized as an official currency, it will definitely be much more expensive than it is now. I told you to buy gold by coteralizing your house and taking out a loan. Is this really a jackpot?] [Eh.... If you look at this gold chart here, is there a part that fell off before? This is the section where the real typical gathering forces press. There was not much change in price, but only the trading volume was crazy, right? This is the section where the ants gently seduce them, vomit them up, make them for me, and then sweep them away. Besides, this is.....] A feast of charters and stockbrokers who show their faces in all major media outlets. Each of them gave their own in-depth analysis on the reason for the 50% jump in price to the camera, and spat loudly. [If you think about it, it is strange that the price of gold has not been vtile until now. Aplete virtual world enjoyed by over 90% of the world''s poption. Money that can be used and used freely in a world so perfect and vast that it can be called another earth and world is now trying to rece the role of money in reality, but these are news that cannot rise even if the price does not rise? ] No matter how calmly you look at it, there are no bad things at all, and stories about virtual currency gold are full of all kinds of good things. The whole earth is very actively used and used for transactions to the extent that there is no human history, and it exerts a powerful influence that is no different from an international currency. -I know? If you think about it, isn''t this kind of like a stock? -Even if it''s not a stock, a price increase is usible. There are too many good news. -If you see that the price isn''t going down right now... isn''t it really going up? 1 Gold: 153,800? Gold is being traded at a price 53% higher than the existing 100,000 won. However, due to those who exchanged their stocks in cash to see the market profit on this excessive surge, the trading volume of gold was skyrocketing iparably to the previous one, but strangely, the price did not know how to go down. - You say you''re not going down...? - Ugh haha. The one-hour trading volume now is close to yesterday''s 24-hour trading volume? Is this insane? -and. The sales volume is staggering, but the buying force is crazy. Who the hell is that buyer? A huge amount of profit-realization is pouring in all over the world, but a mysterious force that sucks in all the volume with astronomical funds like a ck hole and builds a huge wall on the order book with an enormous buy order that can not be digested at all. And the result of a fierce war between selling and buying, receiving the attention of the world for a few hours. Gold took another short breath and started shooting rockets upwards. +69%. +82%. +96%. . . . The price soars far away, breaking through all the thick selling walls in seconds, so that you can''t dare to even think about responding. And that red pir was fighting a bloody and fierce final battle in front of thest line of deterrence. +99.8%..... +99.9%..... and the people watching it live. They were talking in chat as if they couldn''t believe it on a broadcast that was broadcasting the market price of gold live. - No way... isn''t it? -Is this right now...? The price of gold is about to break through the rming triple-digit rate of increase beyond double digits in less than half a day after the price started to rise. And, as if to ridicule those who were watching, the red shunbong broke through the demonic barrier without hesitation. +104%. 100% increase. In less than 5 hours, looking at the price of gold, which had doubled in price, some looked shocked as if they couldn''t believe it, and some looked full of despair and regret. It started pouring. -Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 400 million profit in 5 hours! - Tomemorate the big gains, we''re going to shoot pizza. First 50 people. - It''s easy to make money. lol. Like this? -???: Let me tell you how to copy money. A situation where the asset value of the gold he had doubled overnight. As the stories of people who were busy bragging about their sess gained by unexpected luck in an instant began to fill the Inte, at the same time, an unknown feeling began to stir in the hearts of those who missed this luck. What are you? Why didn''t I eat?'' Ha..... If I had bought it in advance, I would have eaten more than twice as much. Are you really sick?'' ah! I will live then!'' That must have been 90,000 won three days ago? 200,000 won now? I''m jealous of the puppies who ate it.'' People whose stomach hurts when their cousin buys thend, but they are so envious and envious of the sess of others they do not know. As they watched the sess stories of life reversals that filled the Inte, they slowly and unwittingly began to have thoughts that were too dangerous for their reason to be eaten away by desire. Should I live now?'' Let''s see..... Experts say it will continue to rise in the future.....'' Except for stocks and installment savings right now...'' Will there be?'' People who saw gold, which has already doubled in price, started to seriously think about whether they should buy it now. But this is not just a situation in Korea. Buy? Comprar? Acheter? ??????! Arcadia, the world''s first virtual reality game. Numerous users around the world who enjoyed this game fell into simr thoughts, and the situation gradually began to turn into madness. A great scientist and genius who established the basis of modern physics in the past. There was a movement to recreate the tragic tragedy created by the madness of the infinite desire of the human who made even Newton ignorant and bankrupt. to the stage of virtual reality. * * * Since the situation is urgent, lets skip unnecessary procedures and procedures and talk about it. Please report each one from what you have figured out now. A meeting of the presidents of Arcadia Co., Ltd. was convened by President Lee Mi-yeon''s emergency deration. The branch heads who brought their faces to the videoconference soon began to talk about the trends they had identified in their respective branches, and the contents were only serious things that were not at all different from what Ellis had predicted. [The French government has asked us to share information rted to the surge in gold prices. It''s an official letter from President Mirfeng, and it''s a request to put it nicely, but it''s actually a threat. We warned that if there is any circumstance in which Arcadia Co., Ltd. is involved in market maniption rted to this situation, we will never let it go.] It''s a look of doubt about it. While talking about whether it is possible enough by manipting and abusing the system in the game, we are contemting a full ban on trading of virtual currency gold.] [The US Treasury Department is currently warning all Americans to pay attention to investing in gold . has been ordered In addition, an official notice was issued to all financial institutions belonging to the United States , rmending that they temporarily suspend the swap between gold and the dor. ] measures. Listening to them, President Lee Mi-yeon frowned and sighed as if she had beenpletely taken advantage of. Haa..... I''mpletely blown away..... Gold, which has recently gained global recognition as an official currency. However, their vignce was strong because the concept of a virtual currency, which was the first of mankind... which could not be found anywhere else, was unfamiliar to any government. And President Lee Mi-yeon, who knew this fact better than anyone else, had no intention ofpleting the connection between the huge market and economy of virtual reality in a hurry. very slowly and bit by bit. She was preparing numerous ns to make gold melt into every aspect of human life, step by step, but the sudden instability of the market price this time destroyed all the trust of governments in each country that had been built up so far in a single moment. What do we do....?'' Branch managers urging themselves unanimously to give guidelines to give official answers to the governments of each country right now. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon also struggled with her white hair in her heart when something unexpected happened. First of all, there is no room for us to intervene in the vtility of gold. If you do, it will only increase the credibility of the suspicion that you are immediately involved in market maniption, which will only backfire, and you do not have the right to do so in the first ce. Gold issued and circted by itself in Arcadia, which is no different from a single world. Forcibly adjusting or changing the structure of the economic cycle, which is being perfectly and exquisitely moved by the transcendent control personality named Alice, was something President Lee Mi-yeon would not have dared to dream of with the level of authority she had, so she said this sternly. Tell the government of each country. It is impossible for Arcadia to intervene in market price fluctuations, and the price will be determined ording to supply and demand only based on pure market economy. We deeply sympathize with and are concerned about the rapid fluctuations in value, but please make it clear that we cannot directly intervene even for the sake of trust in the currency itself. Arcadia Co., Ltd. deresplete non-intervention, unlike governments that adjust financial policies that manipte exchange rates knowingly or unknowingly in order to preserve currency values. However, at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, Emily, the branch manager in charge of the US branch, replied with a worried face. [I agree with you on that point, sir. However, apart from such reliability, it seems that the cause of the recent price increase should be disclosed urately. If there is an additional price increase after this... Probably, the thoughts of each government on virtual currency will change very negatively. ] situation no different. So CEO Lee Mi-yeon felt a headacheing from Emily''s advice and closed her eyes. President Lee Mi-yeon, who had been silent for a long time and struggled. Then she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at one person and said, Everyone, except for the Chinese branch manager, leave. Chapter 371 Chapter 371 Currency War (7) Everyone except the Chinese branch manager should leave. The meeting room was silent for a moment at President Lee Mi-yeon''s strangely cold instructions. The branch managers looked at each other here and there with puzzled faces at the sudden instructions. And then Emily, the branch manager of the United States, opened her mouth with a gun on her arm. [Then, I''ll report back to you next time, boss.] And don''t let someone stop you, Emily''s screen turned ck as she disconnected in an instant. Starting with that, the branch heads of each country, who had been paying attention, began scrambling to leave, saying good-bye like dominoes. [I''ll be waiting while figuring out the situation, boss.] [Let''s just go in.] The Chinese branch manager is looking at his colleagues who are disappearing one by one into a ck screen with a puzzled face. However, he couldn''t bear to think of disconnecting and running away like the others when he saw President Lee Mi-yeon staring only at him. The branch manager of thest remaining Indian branch. He, too, looked alternately between CEO Lee Mi-yeon and the Chinese branch manager in a moment of ufortable silence, then disappeared with a really awkward face. [Then me too.....] Pad. A hundred or so branch managers have all disappeared, leaving only two of them, Lee Mi-yeon and the Chinese branch manager. And only after all the disturbers had disappeared, did she finally open her mouth. Now I can have a proper conversation without wasting time. Don''t you think so, Mr. Wang Yi China? [What the hell are you talking about...] Branch manager Wang Yi muttered with an innocent face and a forced smile as if he had no idea why he had left him alone. However, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a cold face, as if to stop talking nonsense. You''d better stop doing that nonsense and nonsensical acting right now, Governor Wang Yi. It''s a fact that you... no, the employees of the Chinese branch can never know that it is the Chinese government who is ying with gold this time. Branch manager Wang Yi made a foolish expression for a moment at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon, who cut off his words and sharply questioned him as if he knew everything. And soon, he frowned and showed his true color, and rather took on the attitude of a red g. [You are saying too much. As the boss said, our Chinese men recently mobilized a huge amount of money to buy Arcadia''s gold inrge quantities. However, these were purchased at their own personal discretion, and there is no evidence that the Chinese government directly intervened.] The heads of so-called 100 giants in China voluntarily'' made dozens of Wang Yi''s im that the gold was purchased by investing hundreds of trillions of won. And at those words, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked with augh as if it wasn''t even funny. Are you telling me to believe that now? You voluntarily poured such an enormous amount of money into buying virtual currency? [What else can I not believe?] From an objective point of view, Governor Wang Yi''s words are absurd and far-fetched. However, since the information Alice could grasp did not contain evidence of the Chinese government''s involvement, Lee Mi-yeon sighed and shook her head. Stop unnecessary and exhausting arguments, Governor Wang Yi. I didn''t send all the other branch managers out to fight like this, holding on to the horse''s tail. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was forced to send all the personnel out, and tried to have a secret consultation with herself. That''s why Branch Manager Wang Yi also asked with a face full of curiosity as if he was a little curious. [What the hell do you want to talk about with me?] Do you know why I set up several branches in each country, including China, and have an employee of that nationality sit as the branch manager in each country? Globalpanies that are the de facto owners and parentpanies of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Silico The Bio Industries. Corporation Argos. Ajin Electronics. Virtual reality Arcadia could, in fact, operate smoothly with just one headquarters in the United States, without huge fixed costs, as long as it leverages the distributionwork and influence of these threepanies, which have already spread like a spider''s web around the world. But even so, President Lee Mi-yeon established a branch in each country where the service started, hired people with the nationality of the country as employees, and distributed the work as much as possible. And it was an agenda that she pushed hard, despite concerns voiced by the board members of the threepanies. In this world, virtual reality is just a baby just starting to stretch, and many countries are still looking at it with concern, trying to block the flow of change somehow. I established branches in each country with the purpose of showing them the brilliant future that virtual reality will bring and persuading them. For example.... Would you say that you wanted all the employees of each branch, including the branch manager, to y the role of a diplomat representing and representing virtual reality and thispany? Lee Mi-yeon, who has been appointed as the general president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., with a grand ideal and purpose to make virtual reality technology firmly and massively rooted in this world. That''s why she said, looking at the governor with a cold face, this king who interfered with her will. And that idea wasnt actually wrong. The method is different for each, but obviously, in other branches, regardless of how negatively the government of the country to which they belong looks at ourpany, they do the best they can for the benefit and well-being of Arcadia Co., Ltd. I am making an effort. The branch managers of numerous branches who are at odds with their own government and fighting fiercely among dozens of hundreds of various agendas, seeking, thinking, and working hard to find a direction that is beneficial to Arcadia and virtual reality as much as possible. So she asked as if she couldn''t understand at all. By the way... why doesn''t that work for the Chinese branch? A huge and powerful country with a poption of over 1.3 billion and one of the fivergest single countries on the. China. Those who are proud of their overwhelming influence by securing a huge number of subscribers without being ridiculous in the name of a great country, upying a huge portion of Arcadia''s worldwide sales, act arrogantly as if they know their position and status. did. [Where are thembs invading our area?] [At least twist the scenario on our side because of you bastards. Let''s show the fearlessness of the Chinese people.] [Cooperation? If it''s cooperative, nabal, and you guys are poop, you guys take care of it. Why are you making a fuss with us?] A very closed and uncooperative attitude at work. The notoriety of those who do not want to interact with other countries at all, and rathermit all sorts of depravity and abuse, was famous among general-level employees around the world. Of course, there was nothing different about the closed and intolerant atmosphere in thepany as a high-ranking executive. [Events promoted in other countries should, of course, be held in China as well. If an event called Sangsang Daejeon is held only in Korea, it is a discriminatory act that ignores the people!] [Why don''t you authorize additional ess to in-game data? Due to the forcible integration of our Chinese continent with other continents, enormous damage to the people is urring one after another!] [ Perhaps.... Shouldn''t we add Moorim''s worldview to Arcadia? The Chinese government wants not only Western culture, but also Asian representative culture to enter virtual reality.] Governor Wang Yi, who has always made unreasonable and absurd demands in order to secure interests for China by China by China. Looking back at his past remarks and actions, President Lee Mi-yeon asked with a slightly serious face. Wang Yi, China branch manager, who the hell are you working for? As the head of the Chinese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd., the question is whether he represents thepany''s interests or as a Chinese person representing the interests of the Chinese government. And at that question, Governor Wang Yi opened his mouth with a slightly embarrassed face. [.....] President Lee Mi-yeon, who can''t say anything, looks at the branch manager and says he knew it. And as if she had nothing more to say, she gave him a final warning. As soon as this meeting is over, tell the Chinese government my... no, Arcadia Co., Ltd.s will. Whatever the purpose of doing this, I will not care about the reason, so liquidate all the gold you bought immediately and return the stock you have to the market. [Again, what happened this time has nothing to do with the Chinese government...] Ah. right. You''ve been iming that all along, haven''t you? Then I''ll correct it again. The so-called voluntary'' investors who bought this time... no, tell the spectors to rob the stock they bought right away and get away. I bought such an enormous amount, but it must be very profitable to sell at least twice as much, right? President Lee Mi-yeon muttered in a smirking tone as if making fun of the governor''sme excuses. Feeling strangely uneasy at her cynical smile and her seemingly angry but so calm and serene tone of voice, he rolled his eyes and resisted pitifully. [That...why are you telling me that...] Governor Wang Yi, who doesn''t want to get involved in this matter somehow. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon looked at him with pitiful eyes as if he knew everything about him and said, Dont you have any connections like that because youre the branch manager in charge of the Chinese branch? Stopining and deliver my words straight. Everyone knows that the floor there goes back to Guanxi, but what? Governor Wang Yi hesitates when told to run immediately and deliver a deration that is literally a deration of war to the Chinese government. President Lee Mi-yeon gave him another burden. Ah, and please tell me that if you dont give up and try to fuck me up with this trick, you will really regret it with bloody tears. Did you know? President Lee Mi-yeon does not hesitate to say that she will retaliate against the Chinese government. However, at her words, Governor Wang Yi asked with a slightly serious expression. [Seriously, are you going to take the same measures as Japan again in China...?] Indefinite suspension of Arcadia service. Recalling the insane retaliatory measures of President Lee Mi-yeon, whopletely blew up the entire Japanese branch by implementing measures that were virtually equivalent to withdrawing from the business over such a crazy superpower, Branch Manager Wang Yi''s face turned pale, but she raised her eyebrows as if that was nonsense. frowned. What nonsense is that? [yes....? Didn''t you just threaten to regret it.....] Threat? When am I? [....?] A strange situation where they can''t understand each other. And soon, President Lee Mi-yeon gave an additional exnation, saying that he would understand why this misunderstanding urred. What I just asked you to deliver is advice, not threats. Or, to be more precise, should I call it an earnest request? The Chinese government has invested hundreds of trillions of dors. President Lee Mi-yeon sincerely prayed that they would not waste the people''s taxes, and begged with a face full of sincerity more than ever. Please, as a Korean who loves China more than anyone else, I ask you to tell me to stop doing what you are doing right now because if you are greedy for more than that, you could die of a stomach rupture. yes? Chapter 372 Chapter 372 Currency War (8) Gold, the world''s first certified virtual currency and establishing itself as an international currency around the world. Normally, this gold, which had a stable value of 100,000 won for 1 gold, began to rise with a tremendous upward trend. And the uptrend was terrifyingly unstoppable. - Urgent Breaking News. Exceeded the market price of 350,000 won per 1 gold. -A staggering increase of 350% in just 3 days. What caused it? 3 days. The price of gold soared 3.5 times the original price in the first 3 days of the rise. Because people around the world were actively trading in an active market without a single day off in 24-hour free trading, it was possible to repeat a tremendous rise in such a short period of time, but President Lee Mi-yeon''s face looking at it seriously hardened. [Is this such a serious situation?] Jack, the creator of Arcadia, asks looking at President Lee Mi-yeon''s poop-chewed face. He was not very interested in the real world beyond virtual reality, and all theplicated political and economic situations that were happening right now were just a headache that he didn''t want to even think about. Serious. It seems that the damn Chinese government has made up its mind and thoroughly prepared to eat properly behind the scenes. By attracting a huge amount of money, they wiped out most of the gold circting in the auction house. A huge amount of up to 40% of the total distribution. Of course, that''s not all the money in the hands of the Chinese government, but starting from famous celebrities to conglomerate heads and high-ranking officials, the gold wallets of unheard-of Chinese ounts contain gold worth as little as tens of billions and as many as tens of trillions of dors. said the boss. But Jack tilted his head as if he couldn''t agree with her words. [Well... that sounds like a lot. Still, isn''t this just a little'' too much? Let''s say it''s not 40% of the total issue amount, but the value of the gold that has been released so far... I think it''s at a cute level...] Jack grinned and muttered. As the creator who designed and built Arcadia himself, he couldn''t understand the idea of the Chinese government hoarding gold in order to take over Arcadia''s economy. [97.49% of all goods in Arcadia are still in the hands of NPCs. That is, the assets possessed by adventurers and circted among them are only 2.51%. In such a situation, you''re going to increase the market value of gold by hoarding like this...?] In theory, if all the wealth of the existing NPCs were passed on to the users, an additional supply of nearly 50 times more would be released. Therefore, as time passed, the Chinese government naturally had no choice but to suffer losses. [This is apletely stupid thing to do for others. Only ordinary people who used to earn gold to pay for their living expenses would die very well?] A golden opportunity for only those who previously earned gold from games to cover their living expenses and pocket money to make huge profits from the sudden surge in market prices. And in fact, the regions and people who made a living in Arcadia, including Africa, were full of joy. - Ohhh! Long live Arcadia! -If you receive gold in the game for 3 days, you get a monthly sry? -Gold mining Gaza! Coin Mining Kazuah!!! -If the price is maintained at this level.... I can send my child to school too! That''s why Jack wasn''t looking at this very seriously. Just thinking that the artificially manipted market price wille back naturally as time passes. [Why don''t you just ignore it and leave it alone? Anyway, as time goes by, gold is mined... It''s not like this..... The number of earners will continue to increase, and the market price will naturally return to the original price in the end, right?] But such a Jack At the words of , CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled bitterly. Do you really think so? [yes? What is it?] The price will naturally decline over time. Rather, only the Chinese government that bought the gold will suffer huge losses, and no one will lose. If you really think so, Jack is overestimating the world. The world isn''t a ce that only revolves around rationality. CEO Lee Mi-yeon talks so cynically and pessimistically. At her words, Jack put on a puzzled expression and tried to ask back, but President Lee Mi-yeon spoke too quickly. Alice, can you share the data and report that you and I predicted with Jack? [I understand.] A vast amount of data immediately floated before Jack''s eyes at her words. Hundreds and thousands of documents and photos and video data came in like a tsunami, but Jack, who can interact 100% with machines and brains, just recognized and synthesized all the data in an instant to gain insight into what she was saying. [This is... what the heck...?] Numerous cases and situations pop into his mind. They were all the ugly actions of humans full of mad greed. [The reason why the virtual currency gold rose this time is that the low interest rate close to zero in the United States Federal Reserve and governments of each country are coupled with the liquidity expansion supply policy in which money is scattered, and the huge amount of money released in the market is rushed to investment in virtual reality. It''s a phenomenon. As long as it has already been internationally recognized and decided as an official currency, it is expected that the market price will continue to rise in the future. If you want to hear additional analysis and receive investment advice, text me at 010-3xxx-xxxx.....] [100% return guaranteed. The rising trend of virtual currency gold. 50% guaranteed short-term profit. Full refund if target rate of return is not met. Please call me right now.] [Gold rice cake Gazua~! 1,000,000 won per piece, Gazua!!!!] [I paid 1.5 billion won for the credit loan pool. Challenge life reversal!!] [Have fun! everyone! Johnber is the answer. Do not be swayed by the swaying waves. I''m going to wait until I go to 1 million won. Sessful battle!] The price of gold has more than tripled in just 3 days in a situation where you couldn''t buy it yourself. That alone made my stomach hurt, but when the sess stories of those who made huge profits by moving quickly began to circte here and there through the Inte, the eyes of those who saw it went nk. That''s how many small individual investors around the world are entering hell on their own feet. The investment procession of these ants was also a staggering situation, but Jack was choked up in a situation where he was heading to a further end. [Wait a minute. Are you saying that even public funds such as pension funds and institutional funds are joining this maddening investment procession?] Yes. Soros'' Miracle Investment is leading the recruitment of investors and persuading other hedge funds and other institutions to join this spection procession. Among the brokers, they even create strange derivatives among themselves and use leverage. Soros, who smelled money faster than anyone else and acted preemptively and strategically. When he, who had a high reputation, started to open his mouth and talk about the rise in the price of gold, and started to move the funds of all kinds of institutions, the situation was spreading out of control. [Ha..... This makes no sense.....] Jack realized how absurd and serious the situation was, even if he had nomon sense. In this situation, it was obvious what would happen if China started to realize its profits. If the price goes down in this situation, it will create a lot of victims. Of course I''m not defending them. Whatever it is, buying gold at such an insane price is a decision you made on your own, and in this situation, it''s not an investment, it''s just mad spection. President Lee Mi-yeon has no interest in those who engage in ignorant spection without thinking. However, she said coldly with a face that this was absolutely uneptable. But if things go that way, governments that have suffered greatly will lose confidence in gold. The antipathy of users who have suffered huge losses will also increase, and governments, which have no choice but to pay attention to public opinion, will not be able to promote friendly policies as they are now. [Then, it is clear that only the Chinese government will be satisfied by making huge profits, and will simultaneously achieve the goal of preventing and slowing the strengthening of gold and the US''s economic influence. Now I can understand a little bit of what you are talking about.] Jack received all the relevant information into his brain through Ellis and grasped the current situation a little more deeply from President Lee Mi-yeon''s exnation. So he was able to realize that behind this simple gold price increase was a slightly moreplicated international diplomatic and political problem. As the influence of virtual currency and virtual reality expands, it will naturally increase the presence and influence of the United States around the world. Whatever it is, thispany and all thepanies that have the original technologies that make up Arcadia have very close ties with the United States. American corporations Corporation Argos and Silicoff. And Ajin Electronics, a Koreanpany. Since these threepanies possessed all of the original technologies and kept the core technologies and facilities strictly confidential, China was only fed up with their growth. The United States is encroaching on the worlds economy with these powerful corporations that are not affected by Chinas influence in the slightest. And now that they are issuing an unheard-of currency called gold and threatening the position of the yuan, we couldn''t just stand still. That''s why it seems like he''s trying to properly interfere with it in this way, but... CEO Lee Mi-yeon frowned as if she had a headache and blurted out her words. At her words, Jack nodded. [I understand the situation. But is there anything we can do about it? As the boss knows, isn''t this an issue that was beyond my authority a long time ago?] A huge andplex economic system intertwined and intertwined across the vast continent of Arcadia. That was not a problem that even Jack, the creator, could easily touch. [You know that such a method of adjusting the market price by copying or generating gold and selling it is impossible even for me in the first ce, right?] Are you out of your mind? If I did something like that, the wholepany would just blow up in the air? Arcadia thoroughly removed and limited all means to prevent artificial intervention in order to adjust the market price. Therefore, although there was a problem of being vulnerable to such external maniption, fairness and transparency were the most important and fundamental factors for gold to receive international recognition as a virtual currency. was [Then what do you want me to do?] First of all... there is one method I am thinking of. But it''s not something I can handle on my own, so I''m not sure. [What kind of method is that?] We can''t make gold ourselves. But there is one person who can extract that gold from an NPC, right? [That means... no way...?] The NPCs who still control most of Arcadia''s economic sphere. When President Lee Mi-yeon said that he would extract gold from them, Jack asked what he meant by that and immediately froze as if he realized something. And to Jack, President Lee Mi-yeon murmured, snorting loudly as if she was tired just thinking about it. We should ask our secret friend. How can you not convert the gold you have in your pocket into cash? Chapter 373 Chapter 373 Currency War (9) A cafe in a quiet and small town. This ce, run by one of the owners as a hobby, was so quiet that it was hard to find customers because everything from the interior decoration to the menu, music, and drinks had a rustic, old-fashioned feel. However, since it was such a cafe, Jaeyoung loved it more than anyone else. A cup of hot chocte and a cup of Americano, Grandpa. Yes....? what? The grandfather who was dozed off and listened to Jaeyoung''s words and barely took the order. He managed to make a drink, then turned around and began to doze off, seemingly not interested. What is it that you came to see me in such a hurry? Why dont you just call me into thepany? Jae-young asks with a puzzled face while handing over hot chocte. And in front of him was CEO Lee Mi-yeon, wearing sses and drinking a drink with a very tired face. Do you know how strangely the employees around me look at me when I call student Jaeyoung to the presidents office separately? There are a lot of really ridiculous rumors going around. Lee Mi-yeon''s secret friend. Because of this strange and impure rumor, Jae-young appears at thepany, and all the employees look at her with interest and curiosity and gossip. He came to see Jaeyoung himself. Besides, it is better to keep this matter strictly confidential. If you get entangled and get caught up in a strange gossip, it will be quite painful for me and student Jaeyoung. President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with an annoyed face and took another sip of hot chocte. Then she looked down at the ss in surprise and murmured. By the way, does this taste better than I thought? It''s nice that there are no people at all... The music is a little childish and the facilities are very old, but it''s perfect for a secret meeting. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was distracted by something strange (?). Seeing her talk to herself, Jaeyoung interrupted and asked to stop talking nonsense. So... what the hell was your urgent need toe all this way? What else is going on in Arcadia? Jae-Young, who has a history of killing the Pope along with the Holy Empire at her request to prevent the destruction of Arcadia. That''s why he made an anxious expression, asking what was going on again, but he couldn''t hide his embarrassment at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. ah. That''s it..... Student Jaehyung, by any chance, how much money do you have? yes....? Arcadia Co., Ltd. is a globalpany and earns hundreds of trillion won a month. Jae-young put on a bewildered expression for a moment because he didn''t even think that the general manager of such a hugepany would ask with a face as if he was asking how much money he could lend. ah. sorry. I must have misunderstood the question a bit. It wasnt real money, it was how much gold you had in Arcadia. Gold...? yes. Hmm... honestly, I dont know. After thinking about it for a while, Jaeyoung gave the answer that he didn''t know. That would be the case, and the goods he possessed in the game were so enormous that he could not even dare to estimate them. About 100 million gold or more if you look purely at gold. But other than that, there are a lot of misceneous things. There is also a 9th circle magic book, and gold bars, all kinds of jewels, magic materials, and things like mana stones...? Well, other than that, there are mountains of equipment of various grades, but I''m not sure how much it will be if you put all of them together. Jaeyoung, who killed the red dragon Kervenian in the past Ben Incident. As the highest dragon who has lived for more than 9,500 years, close to the dragon''s lifespan of 10,000 years, he has umted enormous wealth by robbing countless goods over the long years of his life. He is older than the current Dragon Lord, Goldrian. However, due to his greedy and greedy nature, he couldn''t even get the position of a road and became an old man in the back room. Jae-young monopolizes the greedy old lizard''s rare as a reward. At his words, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked quietly with her eyes sparkling. Are you thinking of exchanging some gold for cash? yes....? Why all of a sudden...? Jae-young is taken aback by President Lee Mi-yeon''s sudden request toe to her and cash in the gold stored in the dragon rare. However, he was able to understand the reason while listening to President Lee Mi-yeon''s exnation of the fierce currency war taking ce inplicated and profound international diplomacy and politics. So... you mean that the Chinese government is trying to artificially raise the market value of gold to show that gold is too unstable to function as a currency? That way, it maintains the influence of its currency, the yuan, and at the same time, fucks thepany and the United States. In addition, they will try to make a profit by selling gold at an increased price. President Lee Mi-yeon adds to Jae-young''s words with a serious expression. However, Jaeyoung pondered for a while and then spoke as if he was in trouble. But I dont really need that much money, do I? Through the project called Glory of the Past with Jaekyun in the past, he ambitiously revived the league of legends in virtual reality and received royalties from Arcadia. As a result, Jae-young had never thought of exchanging the gold in the game for cash, as he was receiving payments ranging from several million won to 10 million won every month. He has a simple and frugal personality who doesn''t want too much in the first ce. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered softly with a subtle face at Jae-young''s words. With great poweres great responsibility. that....? Do Jaehyung students know this phrase? Of course I know. Isnt that the famous line of the spider man? With great poweres great responsibility. Citing a phrase from a cartoon that is loved by many people around the world, President Lee Mi-yeon persuaded Jae-young again. Of course, I know that Jaeyoung has no reason or obligation to do so. But if you can save countless lives and lives through it, would you still be so hesitant? ...is this going that far? Her story seems like too much to ask to cash in the gold in the game. However, Jaeyoung was able to realize the reason from the situation on the main bulletin board of Arpendia shown by President Lee Mi-yeon. - All property is ruined! life is one room. Mo or do. Gaza!!!!!! -Let''s eat only 10 times! Only 10 times! Rejoice everyone! -Yeoong~ Tea! Yeo~ Tea! - Investment is an opportunity. Don''t miss out on the best opportunity of your life! - Guaranteed lowest interest rates. expedited loans. Even housewives with bad credit can get a loan immediately. People who are mad at the rising price of gold. Without any critical thinking or rational judgment, he was shouting and praying for the gold to go up, like an ignorant parrot, and pouring all his fortune into the gold that had already risen three times. Already things are going ording to their ns. Only the so-called ants'' who know nothing will be thest victims of this mad market. By the many hyena-like hedge funds and financial capital that are contributing to the Chinese governments grand picture and scheme, and together create this madness. ..... General investors who have always suffered the most losses and shed bloody tears in the history of hundreds of years. Jaeyoung silently looked at the writings filled with the desperate feelings of those who were praying with pocket money, saying that they would somehow turn their lives around in the harsh world. I am not defending them. Blinded by greed, these self-destructive spectors are cheap to perish. However, I couldnt stand to see the spectors who rushed to eat even the marrow of these ordinary, poor people, or the Chinese governmentughing and full of stomachs over this incident. I hate the ignorant spectors who run into the idea of doing it right, but the Chinese government and spective capital are dozens and hundreds of times more disgusting than that. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon said while looking at Jae-young with a hardened face. Not as the president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., but as a friend of student Jaeyoung. Lee Mi-yeon throws away all her status and authority and asks for a favor as a person. And she said clearly to Jae-young, who was making an expression that did not know what she was thinking. Fuck those damn bastards properly. ..... Jaeyoung, who was just staring at her without answering. In the awkward silence for a long time, Jaeyoung decided to do something and drank coffee. I dont care about the other things, but I like that one. Fuck Jjang X. Jae-young, who is the tears of ordinary ant investors and has no interest in theplicated international situation. However, he smiled as he felt a strange pounding in his heart at President Lee Mi-yeon''sst request. It will be fun. Kkaengpan, whose influence extends beyond virtual reality to reality. Would you like to reward probability for this as well? yes....? CEO Lee Mi-yeon asks with a puzzled face after hearing his self-talk. However, Jaeyoung shook his head as if it was nothing. it''s nothing. Rather, listening to the story now, the important thing is to lower the price of gold back to the original price level and maintain it? that''s right. The appropriate price for 1 gold, which we previously judged, was around 100,000 won. Gold, currently exceeding 350,000 won and running to 400,000 won. In order to return to the original price, a price copse of as much as 75% was required. So far, the Chinese government is holding gold without selling it? yes. Jaeyoung was lost in thought while tapping the table with his finger for a moment. And soon, as if something interesting came to mind, he smiled and said. Sir, can I ask you one favor? What is your request? Can we temporarily suspend the Arcadia auction house? yes....? It doesnt have to be long. About 24 hours? Otherwise, I think it would be effective enough if I stopped for 12 hours... 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A virtual reality integrated auction house that is in operation without a break even for one minute and one second. President Lee Mi-yeon looked shocked at Jae-young''s request to close this ce where huge amounts of money and items were traded for a while. What the hell are you trying to do...? At that, Jaeyoung lightly shook the remaining Americano in his ss and said it was nothing. I heard that in the first ce, the Chinese government made huge purchases at the original price range? Doesnt that mean that the crazy rising trend is not being driven by spective powers like the Chinese government or hedge funds, but by countless ordinary people around the world who are tainted with greedy madness? People who are immersed in the joy of rising and unknowingly fall into tremendous optimism and fail to see the true reality. And Jaeyoung intended to clearly show the true face of this cruel and heartless world in their eyes. Please give me a week or so to prepare. If the n I had in mind worked properly, China would probably get stuffed in its mouth with huge and bulky taffy. Chapter 374 Chapter 374 Currency War (10) The People''s Republic of China is governed by a single party, the Communist Party. However, this Communist Party was divided into three factions. The forces that are divided into the names of the Communist Party, the Crown Prince Party, and the Shanghai Bang maintain a collective leadership system bypeting fiercely behind the scenes to seize power. And right now, it is none other than Chinese President Xian Chang of the Crown Prince Party who upies power inside China. [For the uprising of our great People''s Republic of China and our proud people! We, the Communist Party, will continue to work hard! Imand all people to do their best to demonstrate the greatness of China to the world beyond the western powers, including the United States ! However, unlike his ambitious n, the reality was not easy. -The birth of a new economic sphere called virtual reality. The fixation of US economic hegemony? - Numerous funds pouring into the United States for numerous technological innovations. Another heyday for America is about to begin? -The birth of a new metaverse called virtual reality. The downfall of the traditional industrial order. The world is rapidly changing with tremendous new technologies pouring out. And in the process, the US economy, which had already reached its peak, was rising far and wide again without knowing the end. The United States is advancing further, widening the gap to a level that cannot be narrowed, let alone narrowing it over time. And China''s movement, which began for the purpose of resisting such a global movement. Golden Road. After being briefed on the details, Chinese President Xianchang congratted the head of the Finance Department, who was in charge, with a satisfied expression on the significant achievement. It was not an easy task, but you did it perfectly. You''ve had a lot of trouble, Louwis Fay, Finance Director. no. All of this was possible thanks to the prompt and wise decision made by the President. He caused enormous confusion around the world by causing a price increase of as much as 4 times from the existing price of gold. Thanks to this, there were already serious concerns about gold from the financial sector and many countries, and opinions that much deliberation were needed, so Chinese President Xian Chang poured alcohol into his ss, but the smile did not disappear from his face. The Minister of Foreign Affairs just talked to me a few hours ago. In the United States, he was so angry that he protested violently, even frothing. It seems like our ns have gone awry because of what we did? The situation in which the US State Department is reacting violently to the maniption of gold prices. It is also true that for those who tried to solidify their position by making gold a globally recognized virtual currency and holding the economic hegemony in the huge virtual world market that will unfold along with the dor, China''s move is literally shitting on finished rice. there was no What... what would you do if thest bastards protested? Our people have the right to freely dispose of or invest their property, and the government has no right to directly intervene or restrict it in that process. Officially, the Chinese people''s gold purchase is nothing more than a personal investment. Of course, astronomical funds amounting to hundreds of thousands of trillions were injected simultaneously, but there was no evidence to connect them with the Chinese government, so the finance ministerughed and said with a chuckle. Probably even the president of the United States is grinding his teeth a lot. There is no way that you don''t know that the funds of various investmentpanies and banks in your country have also been invested in this gold purchase. Ha ha ha ha! The collective participation of numerous spective capitals that smelled faster than anyone else after the Chinese government''s pre-purchase. The movement was global, but it was none other than the United States that ounted for arge proportion. [Oh! Customer: It''s because a good product has been released recently. Do you have any thoughts?] [Gold trade? Set the leverage to 10 times and sign the contract.] [We recentlyunched a new gold futures trading product, right? This is very popr these days.....] Numerous tradingpanies in the United States were doing all sorts of transactions with gold that did not exist in their hands byunching futures contracts and ETFs that could leverage dozens or hundreds of times, iming that they were derivative products at will. In a situation where the US administration was fully supporting gold, all kinds of products were released and floating around without any regtion, so the enthusiasm for the investment and the amount of money invested were enormous beyond imagination. So... at what price are you nning to organize it? I heard the story roughly, and I know that the other guys are estimated to have bought it for about 1000 yuan... 1000 yuan. Other forces with an average purchase price of about 200,000 won in Hanwha. Therefore, when asked by Chinese President Xian Chang how far he intends to lead this madness, the Minister of Finance replied with a very confident face. The current price of gold is 2132 yuan. Panic buying is still happening all over the world, and there is no ce other than us that has enormous financial power to adjust the market price, so we n to dispose of all of it at around 4,000 yuan. At the words of the head of the finance department that he would sell everything at a price that was 500 yuan, at a price that was inted eight times, Chinese President Xian Chang calcted the profit in his head for a while, and then smiled sinisterly with greedy eyes. How sincere did our faithful people decide to show? I pledged to take approximately 30% of the profits from the existing investment funds and voluntarily donate the rest as funds for carrying out the great task of the party and government. The Chinese government, without blood or tears, robbing 770% of the profits, excluding 30%, even though it achieved a rate of return of 800%. However, the Chinese president chuckled and chuckled in satisfaction at such a measure that had no conscience to be found. This... our party will be much richer than it is now. The best feat to secure the long-term power of the princely party, and a golden opportunity that could be an achievement. Imagining a future in which he proudly deres his second appointment with a huge amount of spoils, he held out a ss to the head of the finance department in front of him and said, For the golden road that will open to our China and its people. * * * In China, popping some early champagne and celebrating. Jaeyoung was happy to meet two people he hadn''t seen in a long time. Its been a really long time since you two. How have you been? Apples and lemons have changed so much that they cannot bepared to before. Unlike before, these two, dressed in splendid and antique clothes, naturally gave off a dignified and noble spirit to the extent that one could intuit that they were magnates just by looking at them. sure. How have you been, Dex-sama? Ive been watching Dex-nims situation very closely! I left notes from time to time, but did you not see them? However, regardless of such growth and change, the two look at Jaeyoung with respect and trust as before and treat him respectfully. Dex, who owns 50% of the top pie run by Apple and Lemon, was a benefactor and at the same time was close to an equal partner and business partner, so the two of them were treating him with extreme hospitality. I rarely read messages. In fact, I don''t even open most of the game interfaces for quite some time. I don''t have anything to use anyway...'' Skills, items, levels, and stats. He has nothing to use any of them properly. In addition, just looking at all the things called titles are bizarre and strange, so stress builds up, so Jaeyoung disabled all possible functions and set all game interfaces to a minimum. Rather than that... I came to you today because I have a slightly difficult request. A difficult request? Jae-young brings up an issue while passing Lemon''s words around. Apple, who looked at him as if he was really surprised when he said he had a favor, responded confidently to Jaeyoung''s words, as if telling him not to worry. Recently, I need some gold.... I want to ask you to sell me some things. ah. Was it like that? Don''t worry about that! We will price and sell it very quickly and urately! really....? Jae-young, who once asked for a dragon skull to be sold, had to make a shameful y (?) of revealing her underwear brand to a group of perverted stalkers. That''s why he looked at him with a little suspicious look, but Apple understood the meaning of the look and immediately exined it. Its real. I didnt know it before, but now our pie top has grown beyond recognition! Hmm... is that so? yes! If you''re worried, we''ll just buy it at the highest price from our top. Dex-sama may not know, but the amount of gold we are rolling is staggering. I can buy you anything. Apple boasts that it will buy directly from the top if you are uneasy. At his answer, Jaeyoung gave a sinister smile as if he was having fun, and Lemon asked with a slightly ominous expression. I... Dex. But you said you needed gold, how much did you need...? Hmm..... I don''t know..... Jaeyoung tilted her head as if she hadn''t thought about it correctly. Then he opened and closed his fingers, thinking about something in his head, and then he said. Roughly guessed... 10 billion gold? yes....? At those words, Apple and Lemon froze as if their heads had been hit hard by a hammer. And those who couldn''t get out of the shock for a long time soon shouted as if it was nonsense. What do you mean by that? 10 billion gold? Dex-sama... do you know how much that is...? If you calcte it by converting it to the current price of gold... 10 billion gold. 1,000 trillion won at the existing price. At the current market price, it is an insane amount of money that both parents have gone to the United States, which amounts to 4,000 trillion won. No matter how much this game is a gigantic worldparable to the earth, this was beyondmon sense, so they said it, even breaking into a cold sweat, as if this wasn''t the case. Dex-sama, no matter how we think about it, this is impossible even for us. Thats right. 10 billion gold? That''s a staggering enough level that you just have to collect all the gold from all the continents in Arcadia. No matter how big our guild is, there''s no way we can mobilize that much money... Lemon said that he would have to collect all the gold in the world. And at those words, Jaeyoung flicked his hand and pointed at the lemon as if that was it. That''s exactly what I want. To scrape together all the gold that exists in Arcadia. yes....? What I want is not to extract gold from users. It means to collect as much gold from pure NPCs as possible and bring it to me. If it wasn''t for that, I wouldn''t havee to the two of you in the first ce. You can just put the item on the auction house and dispose of it. Jaeyoung is not aiming for the gold in the pockets of ordinary users, but for the blind gold whose owner has not yet been decided. And he said with a very evil smile. If we gave this much time, the top of the pie would have formed a distributionwork to all continents to some extent, right? Yes... Yes...? Apple and Lemon, who don''t seem to understand the situation exactly yet. When the two looked at each other with puzzled faces, Jaeyoung gave them a hand without saying anything. And two people holding hands without knowing why. Jaeyoung held the two hands tightly and muttered with a smirk on his face. Move to hideout. Dig. What is this... W What the hell is this ce...? The background changes in an instant, and Apple and Lemon are dragged somewhere without knowing why. However, they did not even have time to panic, and they froze, unable to close their mouths at the unbelievable sight that unfolded around them. golden mountain. sea of jewels. A river of many mysterious and rare magical ingredients. Artifacts and equipment containing dangerous power and energy are lined up like the Great Wall of China. Numerous books containing noble and lofty knowledge and secrets tightly packed. Jaeyoung, who brought apples and lemons to this rare, priceless Kervenian heritage, said with a sinister smile. I don''t care what you sell. Most of them are not particrly practical for me anyway. ...? ...? Two people who don''t seem to understand the meaning of the word properly. Jaeyoung said to the two of them. In all the kingdoms and cities that exist in Arcadia, sell the items here at the highest price possible, and take away even one piece of bronze that has fallen on the floor and bring it to me. Time... I''ll give you just one week. Offering the best happiness and hell you can experience as a merchant. Chapter 375 Chapter 375 Currency War (11) A transcendent dragon born with the mission of being the adjuster and guardian of Arcadia while living a long lifespan of 10,000 years. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were blessed by the gods, but those with powerful bodies and near-infinite mana control, as the suzerains and creators of magic, had a tremendous influence on the entire continent from the beginning to the present, writing the history of this world. . The mighty empire that seemed tost forever also disappeared without a trace overnight. He prevented and defeated the huge disasters and crises that threatened the entire continent. It brought new innovations and advancements called magic, and also developed the entire civilization of Arcadia. There is one thing for those who are at the pinnacle of Noblesse, who are literally close to untouchables with overwhelming power and intelligence that no powerful force can easily touch or deal with, and at the same time have a noble lineage that no one dares to touch. There was a big w. greed. Those who show a strange obsession with shiny and valuable things, and have to get what they want by any means and methods. Granted a long lifespan of 10,000 years, each of them roamed around the country, city, and vige near their territory in their own way, robbing all kinds of valuable jewels and precious metals at a level close to robbery. [That... that looks pretty interesting. If you don''t want to die, offer it to me.] [Bring me a mountain of gold by tomorrow. If not, your kingdom will go down the path of destruction.] [Give me that.] [Isn''t there anything good?] As if it were a setting, it was firmly rooted deep inside the entire race, and there was no way to know the end. Obsession and greed for wealth. And the countless civilizations of Arcadia, who have been robbed of all the riches they have gathered helplessly because of the power of those who are so strong that they do not even think of resisting or rebelling. It wasn''t just humans, but all intelligent races, including elves and dwarves, were the same victims, so the dragon''s rare was really full of all kinds of junk. This is the breastte of a Giant Lord...? Les Lemons! Come over here and look at this. They say it''s a relic of the undersea kingdom! This crazy..... 9 9 ss spell book? The highest quality mana stones... to be piled up like this... An ancient red dragon Kervenian who has lived almost 10,000 years and is living in thest years of his life. Apple and Lemon, looking at each of the items that were no different from his heritage, froze for a long time with a shocked look on their faces as if they couldn''t believe it at all. how is it? Do you have a lot of things? Apple and Lemon responded in quite agitated voices to Jaeyoung''s question,ughing and jokingly asking as if they were enjoying their reaction. Is this a lot? I can''t even guess how many there are... Besides, each and every item here is priceless, so it''s just incredible things. What the hell if something like this is released to Arcadia... When you check the grade, all kinds of various items that are all shiny with a legendary grade. Lemon shuddered with goosebumps from the back of his back at the fact that the seemingly endless number of items lined up like a giant barrier were all legendary items. Wait a minute. How much was a legendary item being traded for...?'' An extremely rare legendary item that cannot be found even if you try to find it on the auction house. Lemon swallowed at the fact that all the legendary grades found with extremely low probability with the atrocious difficulty were gathered here, and that each one of them had a value of at least 5 billion won. Dex... But are you really allowed to sell any of these things here? hmm? why? Is there any problem? Apple was rummaging through clutter while Lemon was earnestly tapping the calctor in his head. And he was staring at a worn-out map in his hand with a very serious face. [A map of the lost ancient undersea kingdom has been obtained.] [The part erased by some kind of magical treatment has been perfectly restored.] [ The quest Finding Antis, the lost city'' has been obtained.] Just pick it up and check it. Apple obtained a quest that seemed unusual even if you heard the name of something. At the fact that there is something hidden that will be judged at least the main scenario grade or higher, Apple looked at all kinds of junk in front of his eyes with slightly different eyes and said. After looking closely, it seems that there are several things rted to the main scenario that we don''t know about yet. These aren''t things you just want to sell. Relics and records that have tremendous relic value and historical assets even though they look like ruined trash on the outside. Apple said with a slightly serious face because most of the rare items that should be disyed in museums were the key clues that would start another grand narrative. However, at Apple''s words, Jaeyoung smiled as if he liked it. Then better. We can sell it for as high a price as possible. ...? Jaeyoung''s remarks show that there is no change in the decision to dispose of the goods. Apple looked a bit iprehensible at his unstoppable move. Again, please dont put it on the auction house and sell it. Please dispose of all of these items only through transactions with NPCs, and sell them at the highest possible price. As you said, none of them are ordinary items, so negotiations wont be too difficult. Jaeyoung''s request to dispose of things flexibly for as much as 10 billion gold. At first, the two thought it was nonsense, but now Apple and Lemon start to seriously think that it won''t be impossible. But they asked with a face that they couldn''t understand at all. I think you might regret itter if you just sold it at a rough price.... Why did you need so much money? that''s right. The things here are... honestly, there are many valuable things that can''t even be valued with money. They say that selling things that can never be obtained no matter how much money you give is a huge loss in itself. At the same time, Lemon took out one of the most frightening things he had found earlier on the bookshelf. For example... you might not know this ss 9 spell book, Dex-nim, because hes not a wizard... but do you know how the Mage Tower will react if he finds out that this spell book actually exists? The magic book of the 9th circle that has never appeared in the world in the history of Arcadia. It was clear that the existence of a book that recorded the knowledge of transcendent magic, which was only regarded as the privilege and power of dragons, would forcefully turn on the seizure switch of all magic towers and wizards across the continent. You know that the other day, just to get a few Circle 8 spell books, you broke the existing alliance and turned around, right? Perhaps they would try to get it by scrapping all the assets of the Mage Tower, and if they said no, they would go to war and try to get it in their hands? It''s just a dangerous thing that can attract unnecessary attention from wizards all over the continent the moment its existence itself is revealed. Jaeyoung nodded in agreement with Lemon''s words. I guess so. Then don''t sell it. Wouldnt it be okay if I only sold the remaining Circle 8 magic books? yes....? Even if I just sold the 8th circle magic book, I think I could rob all the wealth that the Mage Tower is keeping... Oh, and please don''t touch the misceneous theory books and magic books there. I have a friend who borrowed it and read it. ...? Jaeyoung, who kept talking about things that the two couldn''t understand, made an expression of this isn''t it.....'' and shouted in a loud voice in front of Apple and Lemon, who were standing in a daze. hey! Warehouse Keeper! Chuckling... Did you call me, Master? and that moment. Apple and Lemon were startled and backed away at the appearance of a yellow goblin who appeared out of nowhere and knelt in front of Jaeyoung. That one? At that time... Goblin...? You know the Golden Goblin, right? Didn''t I show you the other day? From head to toe, there is no green light to be found, and the goblin is dyed in a sparkling golden yellow. The Pie Mercenary, which negotiated to break the alliance of the 5 mercenaries, the Mage Towers, and various minor kingdoms that had formed an alliance with the Harmel Empire in the past, and strike them in the back. Jaeyoung said to the golden goblin who carefully selected and handed over various valuable items to them. As for the things that can be sold to those two, you carefully select and select them, and hand them over to them. And I bring all the gold that is sold andes in and report it to me. I have to finish everything within a week, so I don''t have time, so you take these two on your own and make sure to take care of it. You mean everything...? Discuss that with those two over there and decide. You know the best things here about things that shouldnt be sold, right? At that, the golden goblin gave a sinister smile as if something interesting was about to happen. Then he nced at Apple and Lemon, who were staring at him with puzzled faces, then lowered his head and said: Cluck cluck..... I see. Everything goes ording to the master''s will... And to carry out Jae-young''s order, the golden goblin approaches the two and talks noisily. Jaeyoung, who briefly watched them from behind, turned around and saw Tan and L looking at them with interesting faces. Master, what are you up to all of a sudden? Why are lizards suddenly disposing of them? Isnt Dex not very interested in money? Surprisingly. The two of them look at Jae-young, who suddenly does something he shouldn''t have done, with suspicious eyes. And Tan asked with his sparkling eyes as if he was plotting some other heinous plot. 10 billion gold? What the hell is the point of trying to hoard money so recklessly? Are you nning to get your hands on all the gold in the world? Excessive scale to the extent that Tan, the demon lord, is full of energy. But Jaeyoung didn''t say anything. I just smiled and thought to myself. Even if I try to exin it, you won''t understand it.....'' A war for supremacy is taking ce not in the virtual world of Arcadia, but in the external reality. These two couldn''t understand or recognize, so Jaeyoung talked as if it was nothing. It''s because there''s a ce to fuck, so don''t worry about it. Do you feed me candy? where....? Tan tilts his head at the word fuck you and persistently asks. Then, at some point, he took out a ck scroll and clung to it tenaciously, ready to write down notes. Dont be mean, let me know. huh? How else are you trying to fuck someone? Tan urged Hurry up to spit out honey tips for future demons. At his urging, Jaeyoung grinned at Tan as if he thought of something interesting. Jjang X Narak Kazuah~! Chapter 376 Chapter 376 Currency War (12) Transcendence Dragon. Despite being a very small number of less than 20 individuals across the entire continent, Kervenians were members of this selfish race that is widely believed to be the strongest in the world and has 80% of Arcadia''s wealth alone. Apple and Lemon, who had been in charge of disposing of all the legacy of the Red n, who had been dormant for thousands and tens of thousands of years, were literally having a stormy time. Where the hell did this thinge from? The emperor of the Bamal Empire, who is making an expression of disbelief at the things Apple brought. Seeing the huge, antique-decorated blue sword and armor in front of him, he jumped up from his throne without realizing it, as if he was in great shock. How did Chill of the Froststorm''e into full form...? Chill of the Froststorm Set. Apple, who brought this item, which is ssified as a legendary-grade set item, to the emperor of the Bamal Empire, came down from the throne with a shocked face and showed him the appearance of a salesperson so perfect that he could be put in a textbook. He teased his tongue vigorously. Isn''t this item used by the first emperor, Behemoth, who was called the great Frost Storm Lord in the past, the most precious and valuable treasure of the Empire? By chance, we were able to obtain information rted to this treasure, and after a great deal of time and money, our guild was able to find it in itsplete form. The first emperor who single-handedly tookplete control of the rugged and divided northern part and established the Bamal Empire. Frost Storm Lord Behemoth. A treasure with tremendous historical value that can be said to be the weapon of the past that he used and the legitimacy and symbol of the Bamal Empire itself. The fact that the legacy of the empire, which hadpletely disappeared without a trace with the death of the Behemoth in the past, had returned to him in itsplete form, the face of the current emperor of the Bamal Empire showed both joy and urgency at the same time. This... no matter what happens, we must put it in our empire''s hands.'' It is an excellent ancient equipment that has powerful power in itself, but it is a symbol of the imperial power and an object that is no different from its proof. To that extent, the desire and nostalgia for the brilliant achievements of the Behemoth and the golden age were still thick throughout the empire, so he asked while ncing at Apple, which did not erase the smile of a friendly salesman from his face. First of all... I have to say thank you very much for finding the treasure of our empire again and bringing it to me... no. It is thanks to the benevolent grace of the Barmal Empire and His Majesty the Emperor that our pie top has been sorge. Please think of it as the minimum amount of sincerity you can show as a merchant who gains a lot from trade with the empire. Even if it''s empty words, the humble answer that will inevitably bring a smile to the listener. At his words, the emperor smiled and asked. So... what do you want? I brought such a precious imperial treasure, but my honor would not allow me to just take it. The Emperor''s direct question about the price of the product. And in response to that question, Apple continued to make all sorts of ttering remarks with a sad expression again, but he said as if he could never back down. ...Thus, in order to obtain this item, countless lives were sacrificed, and we also had to pay a huge amount of gold to the original owner in return for handing over these treasures. Therefore, in this transaction, I earnestly ask you to repay me with only gold, not any interests or goods. Apple will only deal with cash butts, giving all sorts of ridiculous reasons. And to his words, the emperor casually nodded and replied. Dont do that. So...how much will it be? A treasure of the empire with an immense value that cannot be put at any price. Therefore, in this situation where the intention between the two parties to the transaction is the most important, Apple responded most honestly and directly. I think about 50 million gold would be a reasonable price. 550 million gold...? At those words, even the majestic emperor lost his words for an instant and froze. And the faces of the prime minister and other high-ranking aristocrats, who were watching all this situation by his side, turned into stern expressions as if they wanted to poop, but Apple muttered inwardly as if it expected this to happen. Now... now the real game begins.....'' Umm..... And the effects of countless skills and items activated at that moment. [The skill Spirit'' has been activated] [The skill Deception'' has been activated] [ The skill Negotiation has been activated] . . . The most basic knowledge and qualities required of those who y as merchants. bargaining power. In order to fulfill its duty of making absurd deals and making the most of profits, Apple mobilized all its abilities to maximize its bargaining power and began to tease its mouth. To make this ridiculous deal to sell a legendary set for 50 million gold. * * * When Apple and Lemon are scattered and mobilizing all their personal connections and influence at the top of the pie, they are extorting gold from countless monarchs, powerful people and wealthy people throughout the continent of Arcadia. Jaeyoung was sitting quietly at Kervenian''s rare, keeping the auction house system window open and watching the movement of the gold market. -1 Gold: 354,300 won Wow..... Readingprehension. You say it won''t fall? The price range continues to move sideways at 350,000 won per gold. Seeing that, Jaeyoung nced at the total amount of gold he had sold so far, as if he was getting tired of it. [Settlement: 350 trillion 293.5 billion 23.132569 won] Jae-young throws the proceeds of the items Apple and Lemon busily sold at the auction house where the golden goblin brings them. He sold an enormous amount of gold, which amounted to more than half of the entire national budget of Korea, but when the price showed a movement to go down even a little, he hit a wall with an astronomical buying force somewhere, and Jae-young realized the greatness of China for the first time since he was born here. was able to experience No, how much money does China have? Even though I sold it like crazy, I can''t even draw the national budget to keep the price... If it were not me, but ordinary Arcadia users, it would be so huge and enormous that no one could ever stop or resist it. Influence. That''s why Jaeyoung felt a strange sense of victory and grumbled with a look on his face. Lets see who wins. There''s still a lot left to sell. Goods still piled up in Kervenian''s rare. Of course, most misceneous legendary items and gold had been disposed of and exchanged a long time ago, but there were still plenty of items with high value, so Jaeyoung was waiting for the golden goblin to bring him gold again with a confident face. Hey, master. What are you doing? They said they were selling things, but where did all that gold go? Jaeyoung has been sitting still for over 3 days and eating only the gold brought by the golden goblin like a baby bird. Satan, who was watching with an exciting face next to him, took out a scroll and prepared to record something, and was nervous while rolling around with a bored face. I said so. It has nothing to do with you, so don''t worry about it. Jaeyoung responds without blinking an eye, as if he doesn''t care about Tan''s annoyance. However, L looked at him with sharp eyes and asked. Did something happen in this world by any chance? The beings of Arcadia recognize adventurers as wanderers from another dimension. Since they usually don''t pay any attention to him or mention anything about him, Jae-young put on a nk expression for a moment and said roundly at El''s question, who directly mentioned the other world. Well... strictly speaking, they are simr. It''s bigger than just doing a friend favor. A friend...? what. Did the owner have any friends? Tan and L question Jaeyoung''s words with disbelief on their faces. At the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung finally turned his head and asked a curt question. what? that question. Are you saying that I don''t have any friends? Jaeyoung doesn''t approach people so sociably, but it''s not like he doesn''t have anyone who can be called a friend. However, Tan told Jae-young his thoughts very honestly. Isnt it obvious? From what I''ve seen, a vicious person like the owner doesn''t make friends. Only those who are worth using are made into ves who eat their souls... Eup! town! Stop talking nonsense, you damn bat. Seeing Jaeyoung''s sullen expression, L hurriedly covers Tan''s mouth. Jaeyoung looked at Tan, who struggled violently as if he had said something he couldn''t say, and L, who overpowered him. uh. came? Lemon and the golden goblin stand in front of Jaeyoung, knowing when they came back. Jaeyoung greeted the two and waved his hand, and Lemon responded with a nervous nod. Kill-kil-kil. As the master said, we havepleted the transaction with the Mage Tower. A golden goblin who is a high-ranking demon and warehouse keeper. With some sort of power to move them anywhere he wanted, he was transporting Apples and Lemons to all corners of Arcadia, making all sorts of deals in literally real time. And Lemon, who came after a pretty big deal this time. Jaeyoung asked, looking at her with expectant eyes. how is it? Did the deal go well? Did you try to make a fuss with dog foam in the magic tower? A maddening group of people who turn their eyes first and rush at anything rted to magic. It was clear that the response was probably well worth the money given that they held aplete set of 20 Circle 8 magic books in front of them. And Lemon, who took a deep breath with a white face, trembled and said, Yeah..... I really thought I was going to die? Im not kidding, it made me wonder if I would have tried to rob it, even if it meant killing me, if I had broken the deal. A decision made in a big way to rob all the property that the Mage Tower has. And since the minimum price that Jaeyoung demanded in this transaction was insane, Lemon hadn''t thought that this transaction would be sessful until now. So... how did it go? How much did you sell it for? You really didnt sell it for 1 billion gold, did you? At least 1 billion gold. Jae-Young, whose parents all paid the minimum price for going to the United States, whose current market price is 350 trillion won. However, at his question, Lemon began to talk about his achievements in a dejected voice as if he was really tired. At first, when they heard the price, they said I was crazy. So? The price range was absolutely impossible even for the Mage Tower with a lot of money. However, the 8th ss magic bookplete set was an unbearable product to give up due tock of money. So, as you said, I decided to cancel the deal and stood up, but suddenly the owners of the Magic Tower grabbed me. Like that, the 5 top magic towers grabbed Lemon by the crotch of his pants and started to hang down. And soon, they mobilized all means and began to gather all the assets of the Mage Tower. Well...then it was total shit. After connecting with all sorts of strange wizards through amunication tool, having a war of words, all the wizards dressed in bizarre clothes they hadn''t even heard of gathered together and discussed what to say, and soon even the witches came looking for them? It seemed like they had summoned all the wizarding powers from all continents, not just Korea. The 5 Magical Towers that gathered all the numerous magic societies and powers of this vast Arcadia. And as a result of attracting the funds of all the magicians of Arcadia from here and there, they were able to obtain forbidden knowledge that had never been freely allowed to humans. So... how much is it? At Jaeyoung''s question to stop talking nonsense and just say the conclusion, Lemon smiled weakly and spread his hands out. 500 million gold. The transaction waspleted at a price 50% higher than the price you wanted. 1.5 billion gold. It was a lemon that made a profit of 525 trillion won in one shot at the current market price. Chapter 377 Chapter 377 Currency War (13) At Jae-Young''s request, Apple and Lemon suddenly sell rare, priceless items with tremendous value all over the continent of Arcadia. However, despite their nosebleeding efforts, the amount of treasure Kervenian had umted was so enormous, and a week was not a very long time than expected, so despite their nosebleeding efforts, they ultimately failed to achieve their goal. Hmm..... A total of 8,625,904,291 gold... The Golden Goblin, who was making a strangely happy expression while making a giggling sound, and the golden goblin, who was almost exhausted in a state of super-corpse, and was breathing heavily on the floor. Panting Apple and Lemon. It was only a week, but during that time, these two, who seemed to have poured in all their lifelong mental strength as merchants, were waiting for Jae-young''s evaluation of their achievements, looking almost 10 years older. Well... I didn''t reach my goal, but I think this will be enough. You both worked hard for a week. Really? Is this really the end...? Can I not sell more than this? He said that he hadn''t reached his goal yet, and he seemed like he was about to push his back, telling them to run sales again. However, when I told them that it was okay and that they had suffered with a warm smile, Apple and Lemon looked as if they were about to cry and asked. yes. Anyway, 10 billion gold was just a rough goal. Anyway, if it''s tomorrow, all of this is meaningless. The deadline is just around the corner anyway, so trying to collect gold by selling more would be futile. By the way... Actually, I didn''t know how to collect gold this far, but as expected, the skills of the two of you are amazing. I can see how the top of the pie could grow into a giant top of the continent. No matter how much you call them, they are valuable and expensive items, but receiving and selling them at the right price is also an important skill as a merchant. Jaeyoung smiled brightly as he looked at the two people who, at his own request, wandered all over the vast continent of Arcadia, selling all sorts of things at exorbitant prices and scattering them around the world. However, Apple''s ears did not hear such praise from Jaeyoung at all. Only his meaningful story, something unknown, passes through his head. If it''s tomorrow, all of this will be meaningless...?'' Apple tilts its head, unable to understand what that means. A visceral feeling of uneasiness began to roam in his heart, but Apple couldn''t continue his thoughts at Jaeyoung''s question. More than that... You have worked hard this time, how should I repay you? Do you need anything? Is there anything here that could be useful to a merchant...? Jaeyoung muttered while looking around at all the items that were still piled up like a mountain. However, Appleughed and shook its head as if something was funny at this almost unrealistic situation that deviated from itsmon sense. You dont have to, Dex. Thanks to Dex-sama, me and Lemon... No, the pie guild has already received a huge reward that no one else can give. yes? What do you mean? Apple said that they had already received a reward even though they did not give anything. Jaeyoung did not understand the meaning of the words, but Apple and Lemon continued to grow tremendously as merchants through this absurd hell marathon. [Legendary achievement. The treasures of the Bamal Empire have been sold at an exorbitant price.] [Friendship with the Bamal Empire has increased significantly.] [ The Bamal Empire''s credit rating for the top of the pie has increased significantly.] [ A lot of advantages in dealings with the Bamal Empire in the future. Including the Barmal Empire, numerous monarchs and powerful people who have had little or no rtionship yet, and Apple and Lemon, who have made deals with wealthy wealthy people. In particr, some of them were showing great interest and liking for the top of the pie, which sells powerful and mysterious items that have never existed on this continent. During this week, the name of the top of the pie literally spread throughout the continent. In addition, Apple and Lemon were rewarded with tremendous experience and skill proficiency. [The skill Negotiation'' has risen to rank 2.] [The skill Rippin'' has risen to rank 1] . . . [The level has risen.] [The title Merchant who broke the Magic Tower'' has been acquired.] [ The title The Merchant who robbed the empire'' has been obtained] [The title Legendary Handyman'' has been acquired] . . . Most of the trader-specialized job skills have grown tremendously to a level close to master, and the two have risen to almost 400 levels in an instant. Although they were professions withoutbat skills, Apple and Lemon, who had almost reced the first and second ces in the official overall ranking, were showing off their extraordinary appearance by acquiring titles with tremendous dignity unlike before. And Jaeyoung, who gave them all of them. That''s why Apple couldn''t receive something else from him, who was worried about what to give them, who had already received too muchpensation. Dex-sama will always be our eternal benefactor to the pie guild. If you ever need our help in the future, please don''t hesitate to let us know. We wille to you wherever you are and help you in any way possible. I can only reaffirm my promise to remain loyal in the future. Dex was the first to speak when the awkward silence prevailed as he made up his resolve as a man and created thatplex and subtle atmosphere. Well... that''s good. I still have a few more things to ask of you. I have something else to ask of you...? yes....? Lemon trembles as if he has PTSD when he hears that he has gone through all sorts of hardships while staying up all night in hell, but he has another favor to ask. However, Jaeyoung looked at the two with contemtive faces and smiled. For now, both of you must be tired, so take a good rest. Still, I feel ufortable sending it empty-handed, so I''ll ask the Golden Goblinter to find out if it''s okay and deliver it. It was really hard. Jae-young gestures at the golden goblin without any exnation. Looking at him like that, Apple and Lemon tried to shout something with urgent faces, but the golden goblin''s hands were faster. The two disappear without a trace when the golden goblin snaps their hands. Jaeyoung, who briefly stared at the empty seat where the two stood, waved his hands and murmured. I sold about 4 billion and turned it off... but I still raise it to 370,000 won.... Jaeyoung earned nearly 8.6 billion gold. And half of it, 4 billion gold, was swept away through the auction house, but the price did not go down. -1 gold: 372500 won. Gold is defending its price by raising it more proudly. However, Jaeyoung muttered to himself as if he was really tired of seeing the graph of the gold price, which was drawing a strange graph while continuing to go sideways around 350,000 won, unable to rise much due to the shocking selling price. I lost. lost. A price that seems like it would nevere down on its own. However, Jaeyoung soon looked at the glittering notice in veryrge letters at the top of the auction house, and soon smiled and smiled. [Integrated Auction House Inspection and Update Notice] The D-Day announced to President Lee Mi-yeon. Confirming that the day was approaching, Jae-young left a very ominous word and ended the connection as if to see. Lets see if we can survive tomorrow. * * * One individual cannot beat the market. Hardened truth, almost like thew of the world, in the saga of tragic defeats of countless individuals who have fought the market for a long time. But now, something strange was happening around the virtual currency gold. Quaang. What the hell is that about! The price of gold is not moving! Enraged by the sudden report from the Finance Minister, Chinese President Xian Chang ms his desk and shouts. However, the head of the finance department stammered to the end with a very embarrassed face and somehow began to make excuses. It suddenly started pouring in a huge amount of gold five days ago... The Chinese government, which had the advantage of freely absorbing most of the gold that poured into the auction house and manipting the price at will. However, they had no choice but to panic because of the enormous amount of selling pressure that suddenly burst out without knowing the end. Too short a time for the whole world to be tainted with madness. Moreover, the amount already invested was staggering, so the head of the Finance Department had no choice but to respond. So... I had to prevent the public from going back to the sell-off, pouring cold water on the ecstasy that hovered throughout the market when the price plummeted, so I put in extra money to stop it in the end? The astronomical Chinese wealth of 1 trillion dors, including private funds extracted from Chinese wealthy people and public funds of the Chinese government, has entered the situation. It was an unavoidable desperate measure because somehow it reached a level that should never fail, but Chinese President Xianchang did not like this situation. Thats right. That extra fund... must have been my... no, the slush fund of our Communist Party elders that you were managing, right? Concealed funds of high-ranking Communist Party elders spread all over the world. It was possible to prevent the decline in the price of gold because the scale alone was enormous, reaching 4 trillion dors, but a greater amount of money was invested than expected. And the head of the Finance Department, who had been stabbed too many times by Chinese President Xian Chang''s questions. He spoke with a trembling voice and a calm and dignified expression. Don''t worry about that. I will take responsibility and make this work a sess so that there is no damage to the funds. At those words, the Chinese president looked at the finance minister with grim eyes. And he murmured in a very terrifying voice. I will do just that. If there is a huge loss from that fund, it won''t be a problem that will end with you alone. Do not worry. Although the average purchase price has risen to the 1250 yuan level due to this purchase fund, it is extremely unlikely that the price range will fall below that level. An enormous secret fund approaching 4,000 trillion won in Korean currency. Although the average purchase price rose as a result of investing arge amount of funds to defend the market price, the head of the Finance Department did not lose confidence as the price was on the low sidepared to the current market price. So... what is the current price of gold? The Ministry of Finance was keeping an eye on the market price of gold without a break for one minute and one second. However, the finance minister took a deep breath and said with a slightly relieved face. Currently, all transactions are suspended due to the maintenance and update of the integrated auction house. There is no change from the price reported earlier. inspection....? Did the auction house ever do an inspection? It is said that this is the first inspection. After contacting the Chinese branch, I was told that it was a temporary adjustment without any special issues. The Chinese president asks back with a puzzled look at the report that the auction house is temporarily closed. And the head of the finance department said that the Chinese branch had confirmed the rted information and that there was no problem, but while they were talking. A video started to be uploaded to Arfandia, aiming for the gap where all transactions were suspended. A channel specializing in home destruction, which was a factor in summoning all employees to thepany when the video surfaced, putting all love and marriage lines in jeopardy, and causing a decrease in the national fertility rate. Destroyer''s routine. As it has been so far, with a title full of aggro that you can''t stand without pressing. [How much will you get if you shake the dragon rare?] Chapter 378 Chapter 378 Currency War (14) Gold''s virtual economy is thrown into chaos due to China''s pranks. Since virtual data consisting of only data of 0 and 1 was actually linked to real assets and their value, the unprecedented situation urred, so the confusion that urred in the virtual economy immediately spread around the world. [Due to the skyrocketing value of gold, people''s motivation for traditionalbor is extremely low because of those who made a huge fortune overnight. If this phenomenon is prolonged, the number of productive people who want to do actualbor will decrease, raising concerns of causing serious problems such as a global economic recession and slowing economic growth rate. ] Rumors are circting that they are being captured around the world. As a result, tax authorities around the world are paying close attention to whether terrorist financing and illegal moneyundering are taking ce. ordingly, in Arcadia Co., Ltd....] [Recently, the number of so-called young people'' who dispose of all their property and invest in gold, the currency of virtual reality, is increasing exponentially. This is known to be closely rted to the market price of gold, which has soared more than three times recently, and experts expressed serious concern, saying that household debt in many countries, including Korea, is currently increasing at a rapid pace. ] The number of ants who turn a blind eye and panic buy is increasing. Therefore, the Arcadia nning and Economy Department, which is in charge of this virtual economy and all transactions in the auction house, dered a state of emergency, and all employees were on standby 24 hours a day, unable to go home for almost two weeks. Ugh..... Coffee... Where is the coffee..... Numerous questions andints about the circumstances of this situation areing from all over the world simultaneously. However, since the subjects asking such questions were not general individual consumers, but key state institutions that oversee a country''s economic policy and budget, they could not sleep well to calm them down bying up with usible exnations. Your subordinates look very tired. Are you not able to sleep well? Executive Director Kwon Myung-han stepped into the office of the Ministry of nning and Economy, suffering from hell that is hard to open his eyes. When he asked, Manager Yang Han-seok muttered helplessly, rubbing his bloodshot eyes. Each country has a different time difference. We try to allocate break time in consideration of the time difference in the country in charge as much as possible, but the situation and theck of manpower make even that impossible. Compared to other departments, the Ministry of nning and Economy belonged to the side where quite a lot of manpower was allocated, but the reality was that even after such a serious situation broke out, the number of people was far short. How.... Do you even need assistance from a crisis management response team? If you want, talk to Manager Kang Tae-Hoon and ask him to attach some additional personnel. A crisis management response team that has always been active and polished in such sudden situations. When asked that he would support them, Manager Yang Han-seok replied straight away with a bright face. If you do, we are grateful. I was wondering if I should ask. The crisis management and response team that is rumored to be truly all-round, having been trained in hardships and hardships for a long time. Managing Director Kwon Myung-han asked with a slightly serious face to General Manager Yang Han-seok, who was relieved thinking that his subordinates would be able to sleep even a little when they arrived, who were known to serve at least two people each. So... how far have you grasped information rted to the market price of gold? Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who did not know anything about the surge in gold prices. Seeing President Lee Mi-yeon''s reaction at the president''s emergency meeting, she had a rough intuition that she knew something, but she couldn''t ask for something she didn''t talk about, so he quietly asked manager Yang Han-seok to investigate. And in response to Kwon Myeong-han''s question, manager Yang Han-seok looked around with a hard face and then cautiously opened his mouth. I think what you said earlier is correct. We haven''tpletely grasped all the information, but it seems certain that it is deeply rted to China. Meanwhile, Manager Yang Han-seok picks up a few reports. After picking up the document he was handing over and grasping its contents, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han moaned with a serious face. Hmm... All of the wallets of those who boughtrge amounts of gold in advance belong to China. Although the exact identity information has not been revealed, the Ministry of nning and Economy can look into the transaction history of Gold''s electronic wallet in detail. So Yang Han-seok, manager, started talking to the executive director who rmended one assumption he thought of. It is understood that it has probably been umting an astronomical amount for a long time. Through this, it seems that the purpose is to make a profit by inting the market price in an instant, but since the amount is the amount, there is a strong possibility that the Chinese government is behind it. An amount too astronomical for one individual to handle. It was an absolutely impossible situation unless a huge national-level organization moved behind the scenes, so Yang Han-seok spoke with a confident face, and Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han had the same thoughts. I guess so. There was absolutely no reason for the boss to talk to the Chinese branch manager alone... What did China''s Ministry of Finance say about this maniption of the market price? Yang Han-seok, who has already protested and begged in several phone calls with the Chinese government''s Ministry of Finance, and persuaded them regardless of means and methods. However, they only spit out consistent answers that were too formal. The Chinese government said it had nothing to do with this. Perhaps individual investors who predicted a positive outlook for gold openly raised their flippers, saying that they were investing? After all, China''s Ministry of Finance officially denied their involvement at all. Manager Yang Han-seok could not openly ask them not to lie, so they had no choice but to step back without any gains, but after that, the situation began to flow strangely. But... after that call, strange things suddenly started happening. Strange thing...? yes. One specific wallet suddenly started selling a huge amount of gold, and there was another wallet that received all of that huge amount. Jae-Young sold all of his 4 billion gold. And most of that amount went straight into another wallet. A transaction of exactly 4 billion gold. Its scale alone amounts to 1,600 trillion. Yang Han-seok, manager of the department, reports the rted content with a face that is too iprehensible. And at that moment, managing director Kwon Myeong-han, who had been caught off guard, spouted out the coffee he was drinking and continued to choke. What... what...? 4 billion gold? 1600 trillion? What the hell kind of ghost-forgotting sound is that? Really. This transaction has already been confirmed more than 5 times. Look. A mysterious user whose identity is unknown, but who sold all of the enormous amount of 4 billion gold in less than a week. And the face of the managing director became contemtive at the fact that the settlement amount alone reached 1,600 trillion won. What is this? The seller''s ount is Korean, isn''t it...? Situation in which 4 billion gold was sold in Korea and all of it was received from China. And the moment he saw it, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han immediately remembered the worst situation. This... can''t it be that the boss did it...? Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han feels anxious that President Lee Mi-yeon may have done this by using the administrator''s authority to create infinite game money. However, general manager Yang Han-seok waved his hand as if it could be so. Ah, could it be that you did? If that happens, you probably know more than anyone that the current gold economy willpletely copse. The purpose of existence of the Ministry of nning and Economy and the biggest reason for receiving full support. Formation of international trust in virtual currency gold and recognition as a global international currency. So, knowing that arbitrary currency creation and maniption is a forbidden act that destroys the basic and most fundamental trust for all of this, Manager Yang Han-seok had no such thought at all. That is, until Executive Director Kwon Myung-han asked the simplest question. okay? Then, which Korean user had an insane level of funds of 4 billion gold? Thats... At that, Manager Yang Han-seok was at a loss for words. Arcadia is the hardest to make money than any other game. In fact, it was true that 4 billion gold was a very unrealistic scale because it required extreme difficulty and demanding y that required spending as much as you earned or more. Besides, the ount in question has never used the auction house before, right? I don''t know about items, but this is the first time I''ve ever traded gold. Manager Yang Han-seok knows, but does it make sense that I''ve never bought or sold gold while enjoying Arcadia? That''s true..... The gold exchange ount information system waspletely overhauled while establishing an information sharing system with tax authorities. Looking at the records that had beenpletely clean up until now, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han and Manager Yang Han-seok made expressions that were so iprehensible. Anyway... keep an eye on that ount. If the Chinese government starts questioning you about this, you will be the one who will be in trouble the most. And try to find a way to figure out the identity of the user somehow. All right. An individual who made an astronomical amount of money, almost three times the national budget of Korea, which is 1600 trillion won, where 4 billion gold popped into the market. In this crazy situation that no one could understand, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han gave advice with a bewildered look on his face and gave some instructions. However, he couldn''t finish what he was saying when he heard the voice of General Manager Kang Tae-hun calling him with a sudden groaning sound. That manager! Big trouble... big trouble! Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han was taken aback by General Manager Kang Tae-hoon, who ran to find him almost in a fit of contemtion. But he soon understood his reaction. [Ah..... Recently, the price of gold has suddenly risen dramatically? I wasn''t really interested, but I need some money this time, so I decided to get some help from the top of the pie to get rid of some stuff. So, this is the first public announcement through iPlus'' official channel! The rare red dragon Kervenian I caught!] Dex, a yer famous for being the culprit behind the past Ben crisis and the first dragon yer. In the video uploaded to Arfandia by surprise, he was suddenly revealing the dragon''s legacy, which had never been known before, to the whole world. And in the video, users around the world, including Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, witnessed a transcendental scale of wealth that they could not even imagine. The sparkling golden sea. He smiled so brightly on top of the enormous pile of gold that he dared not evenprehend its scale, and openly told the story of how the pie troupe wiped out the dragon''s rare. [Um..... I''ve stolen about 4 billion gold so far, but there''s still 4.6 billion gold left? But the gold market is still very expensive, so I''m just going to sell everything. But suddenly, in the middle of selling and clearing, the auction house said that the transaction was being checked, and the transaction was blocked. I''m going to sleep the rest of the gold during the inspection and sell itter.] He predicts that he will throw 4.6 billion gold as if it''s nothing. As if he had no idea what the aftermath this video would bring, Jaeyoung smiled with a very pure face and waved at the viewers. [Tomemorate the money, I should buy some chicken for dinner tonight. Everyone, eat well and y games. So, this video ends. Hello everyone~.] Chapter 379 Chapter 379 Ruinous Riches (1) Arfandia, where millions of videos are uploaded every day. Numerous streamers struggling to survive in the harsh jungle where they are quickly buried and weeded out even if they do not upload a video for just a week. Videos containing all kinds of stimting and extraordinary content that attract people''s attention were pouring out every day, but even so, a huge wall that they could never ovee stood firm and boasted its majesty. The highest-grade risk channel watched and paid attention to by all employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Destroyer''s routine. A channel that boasts a devastating influence where literally each videopletely overturns the entire game. A home-breaking channel with a global reputation that has ruinous levels of subscribers and at least billions of views when a single video is uploaded. Now that it has changed to the official channel of the MCNpany called Iplus, the color has faded considerably, but the ripple effect of the videos uploaded here is so enormous that it is impossible to dare topare it with other channels. That''s why Dex''s video uploaded on such an outstanding channel literally spread all over the world as soon as it was uploaded. And those who saw the contents of the video showed the same reaction as if they had made a promise. -4 billion gold... sold...? -Wow..... that''s all gold right now...? -What on earth did you sell so much gold...? The habitat of the ancient dragon Cervenian, whose body length reached several hundred meters. So, although the scale of his rare was huge beyond imagination, the amount of gold filling it was also astronomical to the naked eye. It''s not an exaggeration, it''s a sea of gold stretched to the point where it wouldn''t be strange to swim inside. Boasting a transcendent wealth that goes beyondmon sense, he was talking to everyone as if it was nothing by maximizing visual direction in the video. [I have already sold 4 billion gold..... I n to dispose of the remaining 4.6 billion gold as well.] A huge amount has already been robbed of the market, and more is expected to be released. And at those words, a thought passed through the heads of those who still had the gold in their hands. It''s X...!'' A preview video of the massive amount of bombs that were uploaded during maintenance when gold could neither be sold nor bought. And information about the video began to spread uncontrobly all over the world through numerous media and news articles. - Urgent Breaking News. Announcement of 4.6 Billion Gold Drops by Super-Giant Whale. - Virtual currency investors in panic. When is the inspection time? - What is the fair price of gold? The dark side of virtual currency stained with spection. - Cryptocurrency market in chaos. What is Arcadia''s official position? The whole world immediately plunged into colossal chaos. While everyone was running around trying to find out the authenticity of the information, CEO Lee Mi-yeon was greeted by executive director Kwon Myeong-han and manager Yang Han-seok, who came to see her with a very calm face and contemtion. The president of thepany is in trouble. The video uploaded to Arpendia right now... The two of them were so excited that they couldn''t even connect properly. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded her head calmly as if she already knew everything. I know. Everything is going as nned, so both of you, calm down. yes....? What do you mean by that... The two of them looked dumbfounded for a moment when President Lee Mi-yeon said that it was all nned. And then, with a shocked face, he asked again. Wait a minute. You mean right now as nned...? If youre asking if I deliberately caused this situation, youre right. Strictly speaking, it wasn''t my idea, but... I had no choice but to agree because there was no clearer way to do it. Its true that I knew it was going to turn out this way anyway. ...? ...? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and Manager Han-Seok Yang are frozen in shock. To those two, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a slightly apologetic expression, as if telling them not to be sad. Because security is so important, I couldn''t tell the two of them separately. I hope you don''t feel too sad about that. If someone in thepany knew about it in advance, it could actually make things moreplicated. President Lee Mi-yeon, who did not tell any of the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. about the secret meeting (?) with a secret friend. However, the two were not very upset about that fact. Rather, it seemed that he was relieved that he was d he didn''t know. I understand that, sir. Rather than that... what the hell is that user called Dex? How can one user have 8.6 billion gold? oh. Dont you know about Dex? Yes..... I think I''ve heard the name a few times, but I don''t know exactly..... Well... anyway, I need to tell you a little bit about this situation. CEO Lee Mi-yeon called out Alice with a grin as if she had asked a good question. And soon, therge TV in the president''s office turned on, and information rted to Dex soon appeared. This user is the main culprit that caused the Ben incident in the past and is the first user to hunt a dragon. yes....? Then this user was then...? Well... it wasn''t the traditional, normal way of hunting that we think. It was almost a buggy y, but the responsibility for that part is a little vague, and there are a lot of things that are difficult to take issue with, so let''s move on. At the same time, President Lee Mi-yeon nced at the executive director who rmended it. Then, to see if there was anything stung, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han clears his throat, showing a clear expression of difort. Anyway, in the dragon hunt at that time, the user seeded in attacking with 100% contribution. Therefore, a very abnormal situation urred where one user monopolized all the rewards. Originally, hundreds of thousands of organizations would have gathered together to attack, and the rewards would have been torn and scattered among hundreds of thousands of people. However, when the enormous wealth was concentrated on only one person due to the bamboo spear, this absurd situation urred. So you''re saying that you''ve just kept the rewards you got from hunting dragons and started to dispose of them? Not through the auction house, but through transactions with NPCs...? yes. Fortunately, the user in question has been of great help to the top of the pie, which is rising these days. So, they mobilized the distributionwork and capabilities of the upper tier of the pie to sell all kinds of expensive artifacts and items. I didn''t expect it to be this ruthless... but in the end, I vomited my spirit to secure an enormous amount of gold, 8.6 billion gold. Jae-young, who has gone far beyond what President Lee Mi-yeon thinks. As a result, she was also dizzy as she grasped the data, but she was giving up almost to the level of giving up halfway because she couldn''t stop him by scolding him for doing too much for faithfully carrying out the work she asked in the first ce. Why would you even do that...? When executive director Kwon Myung-han asked why he was doing this all of a sudden, CEO Lee Mi-yeon answered calmly. That''s what I asked for. yes....? ...? At that moment, the inside of the office was frozen in silence. However, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a fishy smile on her face with a slightly chilly face. Why would you? To fuck you a fucking x -pups that are ying with gold prices. What is that...? The Chinese government does not stop this madness and proceeds to ruin despite its own warnings. While he is trying to spread Arcadia and virtual reality by cooperating fairly with governments around the world, CEO Lee Mi-yeon could no longer tolerate those who kept making all sorts of nasty and dirty tricks and spoiling his work. Arent you kidding me about making a profit by raising the price of gold as much as possible? So I made it so that I could never benefit from it. ..... The two of them were speechless and froze at those words. However, President Lee Mi-yeon said with a coy smile as if it went well. I rather like this situation. The 4 billion gold that has already been released and the 4.6 billion gold that will be additionally released are not obtained through transactions between users, but rather obtained by extracting gold from NPCs. If all of this is released to the market, the total amount of gold itself will increase several times more than before, so a price drop is inevitable and the Chinese government will now suffer astronomical losses no matter how desperately it tries. CEO Lee Mi-yeon talks with a genuine chatter as if she feels good just thinking about it. And the two people who looked at her were convinced by Lee Mi-yeon''sst words. You dont know what to say? Even if the favor is forgotten, the grudge will be repaid a hundredfold? Such crazy.....'' This kind of person is the general manager.....'' The fact that their direct superior and the best head who leads thepany is more than an idiot beyond imagination. In conclusion, through this event, the market value of gold will go down stably. Perhaps after the maintenance, the price may drop a lot due to the panic cell in the beginning, but gradually it will bnce to a normal price range under Ellis''s contemtion. The Chinese government will weep and shed bloody tears. The Chinese government dropped a secret fund worth 1,500 trillion won to stop Jae-young from dropping the bomb. There was no chance that they would make up for the loss. That''s why Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, seemed to be afraid of the huge storm that would blow in the future, and looked at the two people with dead faces and said not to worry. I n to take responsibility for the Chinese government and branch offices, so dont worry too much about them. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon takes a look at the users public sentiment and reactions from the media, and Manager Yang Han-Seok, please consult well with the financial authorities of each country to ensure that the gold-rted policies of each country do not turn hostile due to the situation. Two people who can''t seem to see anything because they don''t know how the hell to exin this to the public. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon briefly called Yang Han-seok, who was turning around, to stop him and asked as if he had forgotten. Ah, by any chance, we had a discussion with the National Tax Service on how to deal with the tax issue rted to gold exchange? You mean the IRS...? Yang Han-seok, manager of the department, pondered for a moment about the final discussion regarding tax collection when gold was exchanged for cash. And he soon gave the answer. Basically, we agreed that all ie from acquiring gold and selling it should be considered as other ie, such as lottery winnings, unlike general business ie. As a result, it was finally decided to withhold 35% of the exchange amount as separate taxation. Arcadia, where 35% of the exchange amount is taken away as taxes. And at those words, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered to herself. If 35% of 1500 trillion... 525 trillion... Yes...? it''s nothing. Go and work. Okay..... Then, enough..... Manager Yang Han-seok left after looking at President Lee Mi-yeon with a strange look. After he left, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered in disbelief as she looked at the figures in the report on her monitor. Tax alone is 525 trillion won... Jae -young, who has already disposed of 4 billion gold, has a whopping 1,500 trillion won. Seeing him having to pay an astronomical amount of 525 trillion won in taxes, President Lee Mi-yeon shook his head with a smile as if it was absurd. You were a very patriot. The near future after this situation has calmed down. The National Tax Service and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance received tax-rted data from Arcadia Co., Ltd., and all fell backwards with bubbles. It is because of a person overflowing with patriotism (?) who pays as much as 90% of the national budget of the Republic of Korea in taxes. Chapter 380 Chapter 380 Ruinous Riches (2) The day when the madness of joy that started with the price of gold turned into a great fear. The fear grew out of control and hit the whole world. This... does this make sense? -40% as soon as the market opens! People who were anxiously waiting for the opening of Arcadia''s auction house, where all transactions were stopped for an update for 12 hours, were astonished to see the blue ck candle sticking to the floor as soon as it started. -Is this perhaps a system error? - No, just insert it and the money will be copied! Why is my money being deleted? -Can''t I get a refund for this? really? It''s a chartered fund, so if you lose it, it''ll be really big... -No, are you fucking kidding me? Raise the price back to normal when your brother says something nice. The bulletin board is filled with the cries and anger of those who suffered tremendous losses in half a day. And they soon began to perform all sorts of skits,mitting bizarre entricities that could not be seen without tears. -I lost everything and ordered a pizza with the remaining money, but no matter how much I think about it, I pee on the pizza. -I hit the sink while screaming and it broke. How much does this repair cost? -Ha..... I lost my temper at the moment I saw the price and hit the monitor with my fist, but it was smashed. The market where those who invested everything in gold by taking out a loan as coteral for their house were horribly crushed and turned into a sea of blood. However, even in such a serious situation, most users watched with excitement while eating popcorn. -40% drop ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. -Hahanga Kazuah~ Narak Kazuah!!! - Doesn''t gold have a lower limit? It''s so exciting how far it will fall. -???: You can copy money? In fact, it''s crushing! -The sound of money being deleted is sweet haha Other peoples misfortune is my happiness. The Inte has be ugly because people with personalities that even Satan would cry about giggled and made fun of with all sorts of pleasant and creative drips. However, a huge storm was sweeping the entire financial market around the world, including Wall Street, to such an extent that it seemed that the situation of these spectors was nothing. Holy shit! What are you talking about? Are you going into forced liquidation? what? How the hell did youe up with a contract? Bring the relevant materials right now! What the hell is this about? Report the matter to the financial authorities immediately! Hedge funds that invested huge amounts of money, starting with Soros, the chairman of Miracle Investment, took advantage of China''s huge operation and suffered huge valuation losses due to the sudden drop. It is also expected to cause great damage. Ironically, however, Soros and Miracle Investment, the culprits who triggered this situation, did not suffer any damage. I am very fortunate, Chairman. If I didn''t dispose of it before the update as instructed, the entire fund would really be at risk. A general manager muttered a sigh of relief next to Soros. At his words, Soros looked away for a moment and muttered as he looked at the TV that was ring breaking news. Something felt strange. I''ve been suspicious ever since I checked for an update that I didn''t even do suddenly. I didn''t expect such an extreme situation to happen, but... His intuition as an investor has made him the head of a global hedge fund. With that sense that is no different from the realm of instinct, he narrowly avoided this nuclear bomb that was exploding this time and made a huge profit. He shuddered at the thrill of seeing a scene continuously broadcast on TV. 8.6 billion gold. A user with an enormous amount of money, approaching $3.2 trillion at the highest market price. Dex. Seeing him swimming in the golden sea, possessing an enormous amount of wealth that is impossible for a single person to dare, Soros finally felt that his head was brightened. Did you find out about that user? yes. Finding relevant information wasn''t too difficult. He was a well-known celebrity not only in Arcadia, but also in the game industry. Owner of monster-like physicality. But a recluse who has never revealed his true identity. A person who has always reached the pinnacle as the strongest yer in numerous games regardless of genre. Dex. Soros, who quickly looked through his brilliant resume, looked closely at the contents rted to Arcadia and his eyes lit up. Fun. What do you mean? This is the situation. At first, the timing was so precise that I actually suspected that Arcadia was behind the scenes. Suspicion that gold is randomly generated indefinitely to lower the market price of virtual currency gold. However, the more the investigation went on, the lower the credibility of the allegation continued. The video of that user called Dex hunting a dragon alone was already released to users a long time ago. In addition, there is also a video that says he helped the top of the pie in the past and has a deep rtionship. A video that saves them from the persecution of GM and a video that proves that it is Kill the Dragon are already circting on the Inte. So, Soros asked the general manager with sharp eyes. It seems that the gamepany suffered formidably because of what that user named Dex was doing. Isnt itmon sense that they had predicted that this situation would happen a long time ago andid the groundwork for it? Thats true, but... The general manager replied with a confused expression as if he didnt understand. But Soros turned over the papers in his hand as if he didn''t care. It''s so much better than that. I knew the virtual reality market was huge, but it was more than I thought. Virtual reality is just a fiction where there is no reality at all. As a person of the past, Soros could not understand at all seeing the people who were enthusiastic about it and fell into it like crazy. I''ve heard stories and reports that it''s not just a game, it''s like a world... but now I think I know what that means. Looking at this insane social situation where an astronomical amount of money is being exchanged for pieces of dataposed of 0s and 1s that don''t even exist in this world, he muttered as ifmenting. . What about the positions we were investing in virtual reality? Uh... Basically, Arcadia Co., Ltd. is an unlistedpany, so it is indirectly investing in Corporation Argos and Ajin Electronics Silico Bio Industries. is it....? Soros seems to be struggling with that statement. And the general manager carefully opened his mouth with a subtle notice next to him. If you are thinking about expanding the investment scale, a huge portion of our portfolio has already been invested. Considering that the stock prices of the threepanies are at all-time highs, it is a considerable risk to make additional investments at this point... The stocks of the threepanies, which have already risen tremendously since the release of Arcadia and formed an incredible price range . The general manager was negatively looking at the additional investment, but Soros smiled and brightened his eyes as if that was not the case. That''s not it. Then where...? That virtual reality. I think we can generate huge profits by investing enough of our money there to invest in talented people. An idea that has recently be a hot topic among some investment firms and corporations. However, the general manager, noticing that the idea is so oundish and unique that only a very small number of cases exist, the general manager asked in shock. No way... are you thinking about hiring professional gamers and operating them yourself? okay. Did you know that Arcadia Co., Ltd. also expressed a permissive position in this regard? yes. In principle, it is allowed, but as the Koreanpany GM did in the past, it was said that it is strictly prohibited to disturb the situation in the game by investingrge amounts of real money or to gain profits through it. That''s why.... It means that it allows users to hire users only for a sry, but does not allow direct financial involvement in the game. yes. It seems that the decision was made conscious of the eyes of ordinary users. okay. From a gamepany''s point of view, there is no choice but to do that... After that, Soros fell into his own thoughts. And soon after, he dered it all over the world. [Miracle Investment was deeply impressed by the potential of virtual currency gold and the philosophy of Arcadia Co., Ltd. that pursues infinite freedom. Therefore, we n to promote a newrge-scale investment that will allow Arcadia to generate huge profits through talented people.] [ Therefore, Arcadia users with many talents and ambitions should knock on the door of Miracle Investment. I will always wee all adventurers who dream of dominating all of Arcadia from the pinnacle of the virtual world with the goal of 15% stocks that Arcadia Co., Ltd. has professed.] Proud Miracle Investment. Starting with their deration of investing and jumping into this virtual market, the curtain of a historic moment that vors an era was finally opened due to numerousters whopetitively followed. The golden age of gamers, called the era of big gamers. * * * Bloody Wednesday. The world was shaken and noisy by this huge incident that shoved huge and big candy into the mouths of many investors including the Chinese government, but Jack, the creator and top developer of Arcadia, was not interested in this series of events at all. Jack is more precious and important than anyone else in this virtual reality, where he can contemte the entire world more freely than what happens in reality, where he has a body that cannot even lift a finger. However, he was looking at the huge change that this incident had created with very serious eyes. [Ha..... I''m really going crazy...] The red dragon Kervenian. Beyond the Red n, he was the eldest of the entire Dragon race. The colossal wealth hidden in Kervenian''s rares, who possessed such enormous greed that he could not be a load even though he was the eldest. Jack scratched his head wildly with a troublesome face as all of them spread across the continent without hesitation with one single thought to fuck China. [What on earth is this crazy guy who ignorantly sells everything without thinking about the aftermath? The guys who bring anything and everything to sell or the guys who just take it and sell it carelessly are all the same.] Items that hold secrets and power that cannot be taken lightly. Since all of that was limited to NPCs and spread, none of the users, CEO Lee Mi-yeon, and executives and employees noticed it, but he could see it because Alice''s arithmetic circuit was running fast and he was contemting the whole world. [8 8th circle magic. I can''t believe it..... We humans are finally at the realm of great magic...] [There is a huge ind floating in the sky...? Investigate quietly.] [You obtained a book containing the secret to making a Philosopher''s Stone? Don''t lie!] [I can''t believe this..... This sword...?] The seeds of huge narratives and stories were suddenly sown all over the continent. And since each of those seeds were the seeds of a giant tree that had the potential to cover the entire continent, he looked at Alice, who predicted and vomited scenarios of numerous incidents and idents that were highly likely to explode again in the future. I sighed. [The whole game is ruined because of one real troll.] Chapter 381 Chapter 381 Dung Man Game (1) [Next news. Experts say that Chinesepanies have suffered huge losses in connection with the sharp drop in the virtual currency gold. Rumors are rapidly spreading around the world that Panda Baba''s chairman Ma Won recently invested a huge amount of money worth tens of trillions of won in gold, and the presidents of several famouspanies joined in. Regarding this.....] [Currently, the price of gold momentarily hit the lowest point of 62,400 won and rebounded sessfully, and is currently moving sideways at 90,000 won and showing stable movements. Arge amount of additional buying ising in strongly and the market price is continuing to be maintained, but experts advise that it is still time to wait and see carefully as the enormous amount has already been released.] [A significant change has been detected in the political structure in China. Since the recent immediate resignation of the Minister of Finance and his arrest on bribery charges, stories have been circting about a great deal of heated debate among the elders between the Crown Prince Party and the Qingdan and the Shanghai Bang, and it is understood that the conflict between the political factions within the Communist Party has intensified. The war of gold, a virtual currency stained with the blood and tears of numerous ants and whales . There was only oneughing in this great war, where everyone was bleeding profusely. Jaeyoung Yoon. He robbed the market of an enormous amount of gold worth 8.6 billion won. Although the price of 4.6 billion gold was not so high because of the terrified ants who threw their money like crazy as soon as the market opened, he muttered in disbelief as he looked at the window with the amount earned from this incident. Roughly 1200 trillion ..... The total sales amount alone is about 2000 trillion. Looking at the actual amount to be settled to him, excluding the 35% tax collected by the state, Jae-young sat nkly for a long time, looking at the crazy amount that had no sense of reality at all. [Settlement: 1273549843546875$] Jaeyoung received an astronomical amount of 1273 trillion won. He became a tremendous rejection that no one in the world dared to follow overnight, but he was not so thrilled or excited. ...Has the real world been ruined? Rather, Jae-young feels bizarre and feels a sense of dj vu at the fact that such an unrealistic situation urs with just one game. Seeing the countless people who work from dawn to evening for the lowest hourly wage of less than 10,000 won, and work silently despite all sorts of bullying and entertainment by their bosses and abuse of power by employees at the head office, they are in a situation where they would lose their will to work at once and be wise men and throw away their resignations first. He was the one who strangely felt the absurdity of this world. That is why Jae-young did not feel any joy or excitement in the fact that he became the richest person on the. Rather, just thinking about how to do that makes my head hurt. Shit..... Ill have to move when the moneyes inter. Anyway, I have to wait two more months for the final payment toe in anyway. Since the money wasn''t even in the bank ount right now, Jaeyoungy down in the capsule, deciding to think aboutplicated matters like thister. And soon, it was the two elementary school students (?) who weed him in Arcadia. Im going to make my pillow today with your feathers, you damn chicken. Dont fuck with this, you bastard who will do XXXX and XXXXX. You have to do XXXX and XXX and do XXXX, this XXXXXXXXXXX! I don''t know what they''re fighting for, but the Archangel and the Demon King must have been fighting for a long time. Perhaps because it was a being with transcendental status, even though it was as small as a fist, it was shing with its own bloody and menacing energy, but the scene of the fight was so ugly. evil! evil! Dont bite there, you crazy bitch! joy! who''s to say You bastard, don''t pluck my feathers! You damned bat! The two of them literally fight on the street, scratching, pinching, biting, dragging, and using all kinds of vile and despicable tactics. Looking at the white feathers of L flying around and the double nosebleeds dripping from Tan''s face, Jaeyoung said with a sincere look on his face. Are you fighting again? You damn chicken! Come on! You bastard! Not knowing that Jaeyoung hase, Tan rushes towards him screaming and screaming, and L grabs him and rolls around on the dirt floor again and flies around. Jaeyoung, who looked at the archangel and the devil fighting fiercely without any reply as if he hadn''t heard him, gave up trying to stop them and shook his head and waved his hands. Really great, great. Arent you tired of fighting? A fight between the two, who are tired of watching now. If they stick around like this, they would be close to some extent, but as if they were really serious, the two were burning with hostility toward each other. Let''s see..... There''s nothing new about Apple and Lemon''s messages... While the two are fighting, Jae-young checks the new notes that he hadn''t checked yet. Quickly flipping through messages of gratitude, includingpliments and current status reports, which made him feel embarrassed just by looking at Apple and Lemon, he quickly stopped looking at a note sent by Angelina. hmm? Jae-young tilted her head while trying to pass it over momentarily. And after carefully reading the long written content in quite arge amount, looking at thest request reminded me of a long time ago. [Anyway, I''m going to go into detail and just say the main point. I''m just going to hand over the magic book you took to Ste, so give it back. Anyway, even if you have it, it''s useless to anyone. It just feels right to give it to someone who really needs it. If you check the note, I will reply with the location and time. I''ll go there.] If it''s a magic book...? Are you talking about that then? The time when I first met Angelina in the past. Angelina walked the path of a novice wizard, dreaming of a great and far-reaching dream of bing a great wizard in her innocent and ignorant days. However, she had to go through quite a rough time because she identally got a hidden ss that didn''t fit her budget. [When you say something nice, hand over the magic book you have. Then I''ll back down.] Moonlight Mage Angelina. And Ste, the witch of starlight. Angelina, who had been running away from Ste who was aiming for her magic book and living a sloppy life that could not be seen without tears,pletely changed her identity when she met Jae-young at the Battle of the Bamboo Spear. [Moonlight Spellbook - Unique] An arcane spellbook written by an unknown archmage who gained insight into the truth of the universe and recorded his realization. It contains in detail the principles that can exert powerful power through the purest and most powerful moonlight power. Depending on the level and capacity of the reader, the level of understanding varies little by little. A former item for Moonlight Mage and a job-only item that allows you to learn arcane magic as you grow. However, after Jaeyoung decided to keep the magic book in order to escape from Ste''s continued pursuit, Angelina walked a new pathpletely unrted to the moonlight mage. [A healthy soul dwells in a healthy body. Even in magic, strength is more important than intelligence.] [The most important thing is not to die. If you attack the opponent''s weakness urately without getting hit even once, you can win against any strong opponent.] [ You must use magic as well as pure martial arts at the right time, so keeping distance from your opponent is key. It would be best to use long weapons such as spears and sticks.] The set items of poverty that Jaeyoung gave as a gift, and a master named Casis who possesses a more meticulous, meticulous, and near-perfect sense of battle than anyone else. With the two creating a tremendous synergistic effect, Angelina was walking on apletely new path of her own that never existed in Arcadia. -strength! Xuan! strength! Xuan! - Noona, I also want to be strong like you. Can I take all my strength? -I was a warrior until now, but I''m turning into a mage from today. Is it okay to dig until only 1 circle dies? -No, but are you still going to insist that the crazy fire bolt is the 1st circle? Where is your conscience? Angelina, who has already be so famous for her video rted to the resurrection of Vulcan. Despite being a woman, she was radical and aggressive unlike others, and her pure meleebat power was so powerful that no other male users dared to follow her, so seeing her duality made many people go crazy. -Kiaaaang! sister! Ttukbaegi Crush!!!! - Hit me on the head with an iron bar too! - My sister is the idol of all warriors. How do you fight so well? -Legendary sister who fights 300 level trolls 1:5 and wins..... -To be honest, if I fight Angelina 1:1 in real life, I think I''ll lose. -Really;; You seem to know how to really fight. No matter how you look at it, thebat video looks really crazy. Angelina even has a fan club and is admired by numerous female and male users. I don''t know what kind of affair she had, but Jae-young muttered in surprise as she saw the note from her trying to help the evil rtionship that followed and harassed him in the past. What did you two know? What kind of wind suddenly blows like this? A magic book that has nothing to do with you anyway. It''s a bit annoying, but there was no reason not to return it when the original owner was looking for it, so Jaeyoung quickly sent a short reply to Angelina, waving her fingers in the air. uh? master? When did youe? Then why are you standing there nkly? Tan and L, who waved their hands in the air and sent all their replies, stopped fighting and stared at Jaeyoung as if they had never done it before. Jaeyoung waved his hand and blew out all the system windows in front of him, then looked at the two with pitiful eyes as he replied. When the two of you were fighting in the middle of a nosebleed. And I wasn''t just staring at it, I was thinking for a while. More than that... Why do you two really fight whenever I''m away? I don''t even want to get along, but isn''t it okay to just be quiet? That chicken kid is the first to fight! what! What did I do? Who wouldn''t know that you''re trying to resurrect the Holy Empire behind my back? You took a saintess who was lucky enough to survive, attached it to a dog bone-like guy who came from somewhere, and appointed him as the Pope! Pope Amen, who lost his life at the hands of Tan with the fall of Eden. Tan, who noticed her behind the scenes efforts to rebuild a new holy empire by rallying the remaining holy kingdoms led by the saintess who had survived by luck, began to argue with her sharp eyes. However, at such an usation, L also shouted in a fit of anger. It''s all because of you! You damn bat! what! what! So shall we let the underworld resurrect? Did you kill that child because you liked me? And even if I didnt kill you in the first ce, youd still be an asshole by casting a self-sacrifice spell! The fight between the two started again. Jae-young, who noticed that his emotions would intensify again over an unresolved problem, intervened between the two, blocking each other''s vision, and said with a tired face. Stop fighting over it. I must have already fought over 20 times with just what happened in Eden. Now, Tan and L are fighting endlessly with repertoire that is boring just by listening to it. Tan looked at Jaeyoung, who was talking to the two in an annoyed voice, with a strange look in his eyes. And he immediately looked at a book in Jaeyoung''s hand and asked with curious eyes. Master, but what about that book? This book? I kept it for a while. Tan is interested in the magic book that Angelina asked him to return. Tan flew in pping his little wings and looked carefully at the book, but soon after reading the title, he tilted his head. Moonlight magic book? what''s this? Havent you heard of it? ok. What''s your name? Are you hearing this for the first time? A transcendent being who has lived for an eternity of time from Genesis to now. Demon King Tan. Watching him look at Angelina''s magic book with an expression of no idea at all, Jaeyoung paused for a moment with a strange sense of dj vu. Then he shook his head and thought. what.... It''s no big deal, right?'' However, Jaeyoung was underestimating this game too much. Although Arcadia is a world that is so perfect, huge, and fantastic. If you look at it as a game, you can''t even dare topare it with any other game, it''s an enormous pile of shit and a rare shit mange that boasts operational capabilities like nuclear waste. Chapter 382 Chapter 382 Dung Man Game (2) Magic. The science and ability to artificially control, manipte and transform mana to distort thews of nature and embody the individual''s will into the world. Originally, it was the same power as the authority granted only to transcendental dragons fulfilling the mission of the creator, but due to their unique curiosity and yfulness, magic spread to many different races including humans. Merlin, the Archmage of Truth. Elemental Master Mist. Gandalf the Gray Wizard. Betrix, the hooked-nosed witch. . . . The great wizards who met dragons by chance and received direct instruction from them reached the level of great wizards, moving the narrative of the continent and changing history. Through them, the study of magic spread throughout the continent, and the flower of civilization bloomed prosperously, but as always, the mage towers were not on good terms. [joy. Those who lock themselves in the corner of a room and only dabble with reagents are magicians without even knowing the subject?] [ The Arcane magic and knowledge of our Elemental School cannot bepared to any other school.] You don''t even know the subject, do you think you''re a wizard?] Because each school pursued a very different direction and goal, and because of the closed culture unique to wizards, they looked at each other aspetitors, so they have fought countless bloody wars in their long history. And the magic towers that have barely stabilized in the midst of countless tragedies. After the five Magic Towers came together to form the Supreme Council of Magic, they had been living without much trouble, but one day they suddenly faced a moment of cataclysm. Continental unification of Pangea. Through that incident, the 5 Mage Towers sighed as they saw countless mages who existed in an unknown continent far beyond this continent. [Ah..... How long have we lived as frogs in the well...] A huge world full of schools and magical knowledge that we have never heard of before. And as if they had waited, they began to exchange information with each other and go face-to-face. [The Summoning School that summons monsters...? Could it be that it is a ce where exchanges with the phantom world are possible!] [Hoh... A school specializing in making golems. That''s unusual...] [The school of necromancy that studies corpses...? Are there still continents where ck magicians walk openly?] [They fly on broomsticks...? That''s crazy.] The situation is getting sorted out to some extent while learning about the existence of so many diverse and colorful wizards. However, while they were estimating each other to some extent, another huge incident urred in the 5 Magic Towers. [Circle 8 Magic Book Complete Set. How much would you like to buy it for?] A proposal from the Pie Merchant, which has recently gained poprity and is rapidly expanding its influence, to the Mage Tower. However, at first, the person in charge of the Mage''s Tower snorted at the absurd suggestion. [The whole volume of the 8th circle magic book? What is that, the sound of a 1st circle mage casting 8th circle?] [If you want to bluff, do it with a littlemon sense. Do you really think you would believe that?] A state that has never been allowed to humans. 8 circles. However, when the proposal was formally epted and went directly to the tower masters, the reaction was immediate. [If it''s the pie corps... the guild that handed over the 8th circle to us the other day...?] [I can''t believe it... wasn''t that the end?] Immediately after the Mado Supreme Council was convened, Lemon brought out Looking at the 8th circle magic books, they couldn''t help but be astonished. [I can''t believe it... How... can this happen...] [Ohhh... God...] [Finally... the 8th circle for us... [...] The 8th Circle, which has never been allowed to humans. The masters of the Mage Towerpletely lost their eyes when all the forbidden knowledge, which was known as the privilege of dragons, was put in front of their eyes, but they had no choice but toe back to their minds at Lemon''s resolute attitude. [1.5 billion gold.] [1.5 billion...?] [What kind of nonsense...?] The top pie stock demands a price that can''t be covered even if you really scrape together all the properties of the Mage Tower. However, as they continued to charge the same price and strongly showed that there was no room for negotiation, the 5 Mage Towers had to make a choice they had never made before. [Put formal proposals to other mage towers. Are you thinking of buying the 8th circle magic book?] [Ask those warlocks as well. Because this deal must seed unconditionally.] [If it doesn''t work, put in all the suggestions for wizards. Even if you sell your underwear, you have to raise 1.5 billion gold somehow!] A proposal that was put into wizard groups and organizations across the continent. And they rushed in as if they had promised, and ended up making this ridiculous deal. Woo woo woo. Antique-looking books ced on a huge round table. Eight wizards staring greedily at dozens of magic books that alone exude unusual mana. In a tense and solemn atmosphere, each of them carefully read the parchment in front of them, nodded as if there was no problem, and swung their pens. Woo woo woo. A powerful wave of mana that spreads as soon as it is signed, as if it has been specially treated magically. After confirming that the Oath of Mana, which forced everyone to fulfill the provisions written in the agreement, had been invoked, Galia, the owner of the Blue Mage Tower, stood up from her seat and solemnly dered. Then, with this, I will dere the establishment of the official Magical Supreme Council. Originally, the Supreme Council of Magic wasposed of only the masters of the 5 towers of magic. But now, thismittee, which has been transformed into a huge organization representing all the wizards that existed on the 8 continents, started handling the most important agenda. As agreed, 19 of the 22 magic books for the 8th circle will be allotted 2 books each and exchanged every 5 years to keep. We decided to put the surplus of 1 book in the new allied magic academy, Uroboros, and to permanently seal the 3 books considered ck magic through further discussion... Ownership of the recently acquired 8th Circle Magic Book The wizards came to a conclusion after a long negotiation over the . They put aside theirplicated interests and war of nerves and eventually came to a peaceful conclusion, but not everyone agreed with this decision. It''s ck magic, to seal it forever without even researching it. That is too unfair! A school of necromancy that understands death and dreams of immortality. Hans, representing all the mages of the 8th Continent, strongly protested against these measures and shouted. However, at his insistence, Galia sighed with a tired face and repeated the same story again. Sir Hans, once again, I will not reject the revival of ck magic on the continent where your school is located, but its spread to other continents has already been limited by the agreement with the Holy Empire. In addition, magic that is directly connected to the demon world can cause serious confusion in the future, such as the return of the demon king, so it is absolutely uneptable... Gallia was repeating the same thing she had already said. However, when Hans noisily retorted to his businesslike attitude, a little girlughed loudly and muttered: Kyahahahaha. Why does that damn old woman repeat the same thing over and over again? What is it? Hearing those words, Hans jumped up from his seat and brightened his sharp eyes. However, despite his eyes, the little girl who was less than 10 years old smiled and replied back. why. right? Why are youining about the same problem when you know everything and even signed the agreement? If there are so manyints, give up and fall into the 8th circle spell book. Do you think this is an old peoples home where old friends listen to all their whining? Contrary to his lively and cute appearance, he is very thick and full of fighting power. Upon receiving the dizzying blow, Hans'' face turned bright red, but soon he was conscious of the other wizards'' gazes, regained hisposure, and sat down again, muttering cynically. joy. Lowly things carrying brooms pretending to be wizards. I''m sorry. The young girl''sughter disappeared in an instant at those words. And soon, he growled with a cold face, giving off a murderous expression that was unbelievable for a child. Hey, you old man with a corpse arm. what did you just say? They said I was a crazy bitch riding a broomstick. why? ...Let''s see if that kind of soundes out even after bing a frog? Hey, it would be nice to take your corpse and turn it into a zombie and clean myb. No matter how long it''s been since they signed the agreement, the two are already raising their mana by exuding murderous feelings to each other. However, they had no choice but to stop under the pressure of the powerful magic that suddenly rose up. Both of you, stop. Wow. Keuuu..... What is this...? gripping support. Galia, the lord of the Blue Mage Tower. Representing the Second Continent and bing the first head of the newly reorganized Supreme Magic Council, he looked at the two people in amazement and said with a dignified face. Oz of the Witchcraft School. And Hans of the necromancy school. It would be good for each of us to act after realizing that we are magicians representing each school and where we are now. It''s just a story told in a low voice. However, unlike such a soft tone, the powerful mana that tyrannically and violently strangled the two was so fierce that they could not even lift a finger. Turn it off..... I cant believe it..... How...? The great wizards of the 7th circle have already reached the maximum level that each of them can climb. That''s why everyone in this room could instinctively notice it without saying anything. Circle 8...? How... how... the 8th circle...? The fact that the Gallia in front of them now had already reached the level of the 8th circle. Could it be that there is another 8th circle spell book besides this one...?'' What the hell happened?'' It''s the Blue Magic Tower... I''ll have to investigate it a bit more clearly.'' Oz and Hans be docile after beingpletely overwhelmed by Gallia''s magical power while everyone''s thoughts getplicated and a fierce battle ensues. Seeing that the two had calmed down, Gallia, who had collected that tyrannical mana, briefly refreshed the atmosphere and opened her mouth again. Then, it seems that the discussion regarding the 8th Circle magic book has been roughly settled, and as the chairman of the Magical Supreme Council, I am going to propose a new agenda. ...? What is that all of a sudden...? When he suddenly proposed a new agenda, those who tilted their heads with a puzzled expression began to stir at Gaul''s bombshell deration. I would like to add one more member to the Supreme Magic Council. Are you crazy...? To do something like this after weve done all the consultations... would be nothing but trying to break the table, right? What qualifications do you have? The 8-member Magical Committee decided by electing one representative from each continent in fierce debate. However, when Gallia suddenly said that she would add one more person, everyone protested as if it were absurd. But Gallia nodded as if she knew this would happen. Don''t worry. Because they won''t im any rights to the 8th circle magic book. And the reason I made this decision is for the benefit of all of us and for the better development of magic, so please do not object. ...? For the benefit of all of us...? The mages looked as if they couldn''t understand Gallia''s words. Those who had curious eyes soon opened the massive meeting room door and could not hide their embarrassment when they saw a young man with a petite body walking at speed. What is it? This new blue guy is...? Wizard... isn''t it...? A young man who seems to be in his early twenties now, with little sense of magic. Pointing at the man who bowed down with an awkward smile, Galia said. Let me introduce you. He is said to be Haimer, the founder of the Canon Philia school and the representative of magic science. The most popr ss mage after Arcadia was first released. Before a lot of information is released, many users jumped into it without knowing the majesty of the wizard who projects the splendid and powerful firepower depicted in the advertisement video, and the romance and romance of medieval fantasy. I couldn''t help but shed tears. Ugh..... Why is the supply and demand of mana so hard... Ha..... To raise the skill rank, you have to experiment with magic, but the cost of one experiment alone is 3 million won. Isnt this crazy? One magic book costs 50 million won...? Even with the money-eating hippo, which requires a level of billing that is different from other jobs in order to grow, it bes a nuisance that cannot do anything because of mana that quickly runs out even after using magic a few times, and has to cheer from behind. same job. For this reason, it was easy to find cases in which ordinary users gave up on the path of a wizard and btedly turned to other jobs because of the fact that they had to spend a lot of time and effort or spend astronomical amounts of money for growth. However, despite such an ignorant difficulty, a small number of users have steadily grown as wizards. Among them, Ste, the witch of starlight, was reborn as an unrivaled being, moving ahead faster than anyone else. A huge swamp area. Ste walks slowly through the poisonous swamp, where bubbles keep rising, spewing green poison smoke as if it were full of miasma. Perhaps thanks to her wearing a silver-glowing robe over her head, she was still intact even with the miasma that melted everything, and she was slowly stepping on the surface of the swamp and walking towards the center of the swamp. ..... Ste was walking quietly on the surface of the water without making a sound and moving through the swamp. And as soon as she reached a small rock in the center of the bog, the entire swamp started to tremble. [The predators of the Filthy Blood Swamp have sensed the smell of their prey.] [All creatures in the swamp feel threatened by the prey targeting the Foul Blood source.] [ The Stealth effect has been dispelled.] [The Concealment has been detected.] [Many enemies appear.] [Emergency quest emergency escape has been created.] Along with the message that they were caught, the swamp area began to sway with unusual sshes. And seeing that, Ste sighed in regret, picked up the ss lying in the middle of the swamp, and sighed. Haa..... In the end, the 20 million won mission failed. Even though I paid attention to it because it cost a lot of money, I guess it was impossible with a 6th rank stealth rating. Viewers who see themselves failing in the streaming window and write chatting quickly as if having fun. Seeing their reactions, Ste stretched her appetite as if regretting it, but she didn''t show any signs of embarrassment. Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. Kiaaaaaaaaaaa! Kyaaaaaaagh! Hundreds of contaminated crocodiles appearing from all sides, drooling profusely. The majesty and menacing appearance of those spraying vicious acid all over the ce was terrifying enough that the viewer could not help but shrink, but Ste rather smiled. Fortunately, no group of tainted hounds appeared. Those guys move fast, so it''s very difficult to respond, but if there are so many crocodiles, it''s easy. A situation where he waspletely surrounded by monsters in thete 180s. No matter how high her level and abilities were, being surrounded by hundreds and thousands of them, it was a dangerous situation that she couldn''t even dare to run away from, but Ste picked up the staff she had tucked behind her back as if this was not the first time or two. Woo woo woo. A staff that resonates with her mana and emits powerful light. The huge mana that engulfed the entire swamp area was raging around her like a storm, and it was a majestic sight that made my heart feel grand just by looking at it, but Ste was constantly looking into the sky and smiling brightly while doing business. I was busy. to? Use arcane magic here? That''s honestly a waste of mana potion money... 5 million won or so? Oh, then of course you should use it, customer. Ste continues to prepare magic while chattering andmunicating with viewers. The swamp crocodiles, who had been slowly approaching her, opened their mouths wide as if they had seized the opportunity, and began to charge at once. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kyaaaaaaagh! An attack full of will to divide it into two at once. However, Ste''s magic was faster than those crocodile attacks. Big Bang woo woo woo woo. That moment. All light disappeared around Ste. A dark, empty void where nothing exists. And in that short void and darkness that was close to an instant, a tremendous explosion sounded with a pure white light that seemed like it would go blind. Quaang. And at the same time, the crocodiles that rushed towards Ste evaporated without a trace. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa. Intense light energy that spreads rapidly in all directions centered on her. Those who were watching Ste''s broadcast couldn''t hide their excitement when the enormous wave of energy that spread throughout the swamp ended and the monsters, who werepletely charred and unrecognizable, appeared. -and! After all, Ste-sama''s Big Bang is always powerful, right? - Wow. my sister is cool too I want to be a powerful wizard like my sister! -[Starlight Witch Guardian Leader'' sponsored 5,000,000?.] -Starlight! Starlight! Sister, you are so pretty today! The moment when the procession of support and support, such as the deterioration of followers and fans who follow her, is endless. And Ste did not miss this opportunity and responded with a pretty sincere fan service with a smile. What. If you are satisfied, I am happy with that alone. Ste, who always maintains a friendly and mannered attitude, naturally proceeds with the broadcast. Neither too stimting nor boring, she captivates viewers with just the right breathing and atmosphere, and even in Arpendia, which is notorious for its harsh and heartless wildness, she has established herself as a famous BJ and has been fairly well-received. -scent. After all, hidden sses have different sses. -A starlight witch is honestly top tier. good at hunting The content is also fun and well chosen. nice As far as being pretty? Is there any reason not to subscribe? - Also, did you know that a certain portion of the profits you make is donated to an orphanage every month? -There are really few streamers on this floor that you really like. Ste is loved by many people. But even for her, there were antis. -Uuuuuuuuu! The viin who harassed our magic warrior, Angelina! -strength! Xuan! strength! Xuan! -In four years of earthen pot, Angelina''s older sister''s hideous and bulky iron bar (?) will judge! -Heheh..... Angelina Nunna..... 1st ss archmage. A Korean crazy magician who beats until he loses if he doesn''t fall behind.e force judge. Angelina, who is called all kinds of weird and bizarre modifiers, is very popr with many male users. Those who follow and follow her relentlessly follow Ste when she starts broadcasting at some point, and startmitting all sorts of terrorism regardless of means and methods. [Are you trying to steal my sister''s magic book? Are you still human? Huh?] [My older sister is crooked because of you! Take responsibility!] [It was then. The reason why my older sister wielded that hideous iron bar and began breaking everyone''s earthenware pots mercilessly...] Ste, the Witch of Starlight. Moonlight Mage Angelina. A job title that gives off a strong smell of something rted just by hearing it. And after the secret story of the past between the two was publicly known to the public through Angelina''s broadcast, it was Angelina''s viewers who persistently came to Ste''s broadcast and scolded them through real-time chatting, saying they would avenge their sister (?). . However, Ste did not blink an eye at the appearance of such people, but instead greeted them with an attitude full ofposure and smiled with an apologetic face. I apologized before, but I am really reflecting on that. No matter how much I say it was because of the quest for a higher job, it is definitely my fault for trying to take it by force through skill exercise without any consultation. A thing that happened a long time ago. In addition, as a result, Angelina was building and walking her own new path,pletely different from her own job, so Ste bowed her head again and apologized to Angelina''s followers who were rambling. Once again, I apologize for causing controversy to everyone. I have already expressed my sincere apology to Angelina, who was harmed by my careless actions, and fortunately, Angelina epted my forgiveness and we have reconciled amicably. I will continue to reflect on my past mistakes and do what I can to make up for them and repay them. I n to do a lot of volunteer work and continue to do good deeds such as donations. Ste responded by openly admitting wrongdoing and neatly apologizing, rather than brazenly going out or ignoring the incident at all. Rather, it was an atmosphere in which sympathy public opinion prevailed as she apologized excessively to the point where it was embarrassing to be angry, begged for wrongdoing, and asked for forgiveness. -Ugh. Did those apple crowse again? - Apologize even if you apologize dozens of times. Are you an old man with dementia or a cub? -The victim said he forgave them, but what do they say? Ugh. - Mr. Ste! Stop responding to these guys'' demands. No matter how much I apologize, they don''t change? They''re idiots who do that just because they want to insult Ste. - Bottle eating. Right now, the window is being filled with chatting messages defending Ste, swearing at Angelina''s followers with a vicious momentum. It was an overwhelming situation that they couldn''t even dare to rub against with firepower, but Ste was so kind to them. Don''t be too hard on yourself. I did something wrong and this is all my karma. I''ve been prepared for a long time that I will always be the shadow that will follow me and be the scarlet letter. I dont want to avoid it and run away just because I hate myself and dont want to criticize me. Ste, who is kind enough to be foolish. It was the viewers who took the side of those who cursed and criticized her and wrote down all kinds of advice in chat as if they were frustrated seeing her epting everything as karma stemming from her own mistakes. However, they all hesitated at Ste''s continued words. So I decided to see Angelina again tomorrow. -what....? -Meeting Angelina...? That crazy X? Viewers were stunned by Ste''s words that she would reunite with Angelina, who had been following and harassing her so persistently. And to those people, she spat out a bomb deration as if she had been waiting. And Angelina decided to hand over her magic book to me as a wish for my future. He said it was something he no longer needed. -what....? - You really decided to give it to me? just....? Starlight Witch Ste. The reason why she was different from other mages and the source that allowed her to have overwhelming and powerfulbat powerpared to mages of the same level. Starlight Magic Book. And the other half of that starlight magic book, Angelina''s moonlight magic book she''s been longing for so far. Ste dered to everyone with a slightly flushed face that she had expected it more than anyone else at the fact that she had finally obtained it. Yes. I''m finally going to change jobs to a high-ranking Starlight Witch job tomorrow. Chapter 383 Chapter 384 Dungmangem (4) Moonlight Magic Book. This item, which is different from the Moonlight Mage''s former job item and a job-specific skill book that can learn vision skills, was originally supposed to be an item that people with other jobs didn''t need at all, but it wasn''t. [The moon and the stars shining brilliantly in the darkness. If the dayes when your lights merge into one, you will peek into the true secret of this universe and be a mighty archmage that no one dares to deal with and rule this world.] Moonlight Mage and Starlight Witch . A vicious gamepany that created simr butpletely different jobs and formed a rivalry with each other. Because of that, Angelina could not avoid being a beginner who only ran away for a long time and struggled for a long time in order not to lose her magic book. That is until you meet someone. Well... everyone knows the story after that, so lets stop talking about it. Anyway, I gave up on the hidden ss called Moonlight Mage for various reasons. Carrying around with that magic book would only cause trouble, and to be honest, I didn''t feel the need to be so bound by the job itself. Angelina talks to those who are watching her broadcast, recalling the past. And she spoke in a strong tone, emphasizing the main goal of today''s broadcast and the reason for handing over the magic book that was the seed of trouble to Ste. So this time, with a good heart, I decided to hand it over to the person who needs it most. It''s something I don''t need anyway, and even if I have it, it seems like the chat window is always dirty. Now, starting from today, Ste and I are thorough South Koreans with no ill ties or ties, so we treat each other as people who dont exist. Why did Angelina suddenly hand over the magic book to Ste? It was because of all the vicious atrocities of Ste''s extreme fans. - In the name of Starlight, I will not forgive you! -Ugh..... Look at how ignorant they fight. How noble and graceful our starlight witch fights. Some kind of wizard takes an iron bar and ps his head vulgarly... -The concept is also very pitiful..... If that''s the case, just fight like a warrior haha..... He''s a wizard after all. -Why don''t you give me a magic book that I won''t use anyway? What kind of tyranny are you doing now? After Angelina exposed her bad rtionship with Ste. After Angelina''s fans entered Ste''s chat room andmitted all sorts of riots and terrorism, the two forces started a fierce war that did not back down. Guardians of Starlight VS Ttukbaegi. These people have an exceptional talent for making all kinds of quibbles in every word and action they say andpletely dampening the atmosphere of the chat window. Every day, as soon as the broadcast started, they flocked like crazy,mitting various terrorism in all sorts of oundish ways, and fucking each other up. The situation is no different from a war of attrition where no one wins and loses while shedding blood. And it was none other than Angelina who raised the white g first. Now, Im going to hand over the magic books as neatly as your fans want, so please donte to my broadcast again. Especially at the moment of mentioning Ste is an immediate and permanent van. My viewers, please be aware. If I find out who it is at the moment of causing trouble and talking about the starlight, I will personally go and split the earthen pot in half, so don''t do anything you''ll regretter. I firmly told thepany to never unblock it. She didn''t want to be terrorized by receiving all sorts of curses from tens of thousands of people who didn''t even know who she was because of an unnecessary item. So, it wasn''t a good reason, but after all, Angelina, who was pushed by the people to hand over the magic book, was consistent with a cold attitude when she faced Ste. It''s been a while..... How have you been? ...Are you calling that a question now? As soon as he first met, he looked at Ste, who formally asked her regards, and looked at him with an absurd look and asked back. Then Ste continued with an awkward smile, probably feeling that even thinking about it was absurd. Now I apologize again... but I am really sorry. Thinking about it now, I think I did too much. It was too much. Is it something I would do as a human being to go after level 30 first and now hit level 10 and aim for my new ss mage? ..... Angelina continues to respond with barbed words to Stes words, as if she has no intention of forgiving her. But even so, Ste didn''t change her expression and instead spoke with a rxed attitude. No matter how much you apologize, you dont seem to want to forgive me. Seeing that you still decided to hand over the magic book to me, are you really lenient? what....? Angelina''s face twisted violently at those words. Looking at Ste, who was smiling with a friendly smile, she pursed her lips as if to say something, then let out a deep sigh and muttered. Hey... you really are a scary bitch. Ste is very popr, always showing a kind attitude to everyone with a smile on her face. However, Angelina, who had been chased by her in the past, saw through the ugly pretense and hypocrisy hidden beneath that smiling face more than anyone else. No matter how I step out or say anything, it''s an unchanging fact that the magic book is handed over, right? If I break the te and go out here, I will be trash for a crazy bitch. Ste is more calcting and selfish than anyone else and only thinks of herself. However, thanks to her clever and quick-witted behavior, she was always seen by the public as a pitiful and pitiful victim. Knowing all these facts, Angelina realized that this situation was nothing more than a well-calcted humiliation. However, if her eyes went back and overturned the board, it was nothing more than ying with her numbers, so in the end, with superhuman patience, she calmed her boiling anger and took out a book from her inventory. Eat and leave, you damn bitch. Angelina handed over the magic book to Ste almost as she threw it. And Ste quickly epted the magic book and responded with a wide smile. thank you so much. I will write well. Ste reciprocates by waving her hand at Angelina''s back as she walks on her way to somewhere. And all sorts of sympathy opinions began pouring into the chat window toward her. -Wow..... I''ve only heard of that Angelina''s personality is really entric. -really! I apologize for being sorry, but I curse you to ruin like that right in front of me. - A year without a cheap attitude. Sister, why are youughing so stupidly? I''m really pissed off -???..... Noona, don''t worry too much. And seeing such sympathetic public opinion, Ste responded with a bitter face and shaking her head. no. I was expecting a bigger reaction than that. It was entirely my fault, what more can I say? It''s a situation where you should be grateful just for handing over the magic book. Ste is content with getting the magic book, even though she hasn''t been forgiven. But her heart waspletely different from what she seemed on the outside. Kyahahahaha! finally got it! I never thought that crazy bitch would hand it over so easily!'' Angelina originally tried to rob by force, but as time passed, Angelina became a strong person who could not even dare topete. That''s why Ste persistently and meticulously attacked her in a different way. As expected, unlike the appearance, the heart is weak enough. It''s just that I don''t want to hand it over even if I die just because I''ve been terrorized with maliciousments, and I''m forced to return it.'' spreading false information. Photomontage production. maliciousments terrorism. dissemination of myths. Ste''s vicious attack that takes ce in real life, not in the game. Ste felt a tremendous sense of aplishment and joy more than anyone else at the thought that the malicious acts she had done to shake and break Angelina''s mentality had finally resulted in taking over the magic book without lifting a finger. Huh..... Let''s calm down. First of all, the appearance of changing jobs has to be filmed on TV... don''tugh.....'' I just want tough loudly like crazy, but with desperate acting, I have a sullen expression and a face that looks like I''m going to cry at any moment. ster. While doing so, she read the words on the front page of Angelina''s moonlight magic book that she had in her hand. O moon shining brightly alone in the darkness. In the twilight, under your light, this world will kneel in silence... Is this...? Ste realized that there was a phrase simr to the one written in her starlight magic book. So she took out her book and put the two together. Whoops. When the two magic books met, a strange sound and a strange energy began to radiate. Soon, looking down at the glowing words, Ste began to read them without realizing it. O moon shining brightly alone in the darkness. Under your light in the twilight, this world will kneel in silence. Bless the night, sorceress who walks the path of the moon. The silver soul that shines alone in the darkness will be the one who will change the fate of this world, and will be the one who will stand alone and quietly and shine brightly in the darkness of the world. Every star that gazes at this world is an existence that has umted transcendental karma, so the truth of this vast universe is an iprehensible realm that lowly and weak mortals cannot understand. Therefore, be in awe, sorceress who walks the path of the stars. May the countless rivers of silver that spread out in the darkness be the eyes of the countless transcendental beings watching us one by one. The Moonlight Magic Book and the Starlight Magic Book owned by Angelina and Ste. Afterpleting the spells written in the two books, a fierce magical storm began to surround Ste. And then a message popped up in front of her eyes. [All job transfer conditions have been met.] [Would you like to change to the hidden ss Dimensional Gatekeeper? Y/N] [Caution: If you change your job, the existing job will be deleted.] Asked if you would like to change to a new higher job. And because Ste had longed for it, she made the decision without hesitation and without hesitation. Roaring. As soon as Y is pressed, the moonlight and starlight magicians burn fiercely. And a tremendous gray aura began to spread around Ste, and soon a bizarre voice began to be heard. [Those who want to explore and understand the truth of the universe. In that vast and vast void where moonlight and starlight shine, your realization will be infinite. In the infinite dimensions and possibilities created in the continuity of time and space, you must be the only being who has insight into the existence of another world...] A gray aura thatpletely enveloped Ste. And numerous anomalies that appear as the tremendous aftermath rages around. And at the moment when everything reached its climax, her job change came to an end with her meaningfulst words. [Wanderer who explores and understands space and emptiness. The path you walk is powerful and special, but it is as dangerous and unknown as it is. The moment you indulge in power and indulge in greed and arrogance, irreversible consequences will unfold, so only humility will save your life.] That moment when Ste''s job change made the chat window and Arfandia noisy. President Lee Mi-yeon''s face turned pale at the emergency warning from Alice. [warning. Crisis trigger activated in the second half.] [Switch to real-time detailed analysis mode.] The most popr ss mage after Arcadia was first released. Before a lot of information is released, many users jumped into it without knowing the majesty of the wizard who projects the splendid and powerful firepower depicted in the advertisement video, and the romance and romance of medieval fantasy. I couldn''t help but shed tears. Ugh..... Why is the supply and demand of mana so hard... Ha..... To raise the skill rank, you have to experiment with magic, but the cost of one experiment alone is 3 million won. Isn''t this crazy? One magic book costs 50 million won...? Even with the money-eating hippo, which requires a level of billing that is different from other jobs in order to grow, it bes a nuisance that cannot do anything because of mana that quickly runs out even after using magic a few times, and has to cheer from behind. same job. For this reason, it was easy to find cases in which ordinary users gave up on the path of a wizard and btedly turned to other jobs because of the fact that they had to spend a lot of time and effort or spend astronomical amounts of money for growth. However, despite such an ignorant difficulty, a small number of users have steadily grown as wizards. Among them, Ste, the witch of starlight, was reborn as an unrivaled being, moving ahead faster than anyone else. A huge swamp area. Ste walks slowly through the poisonous swamp, where bubbles keep rising, spewing green poison smoke as if it were full of miasma. Perhaps thanks to her wearing a silver-glowing robe over her head, she was still intact even with the miasma that melted everything, and she was slowly stepping on the surface of the swamp and walking towards the center of the swamp. ..... Ste was walking quietly on the surface of the water without making a sound and moving through the swamp. And as soon as she reached a small rock in the center of the bog, the entire swamp started to tremble. [The predators of the Filthy Blood Swamp have sensed the smell of their prey.] [All creatures in the swamp feel threatened by the prey targeting the Foul Blood source.] [ The Stealth effect has been dispelled.] [The Concealment has been detected.] [Many enemies appear.] [Emergency quest emergency escape has been created.] Along with the message that they were caught, the swamp area began to sway with unusual sshes. And seeing that, Ste sighed in regret, picked up the ss lying in the middle of the swamp, and sighed. Haa..... In the end, the 20 million won mission failed. Even though I paid attention to it because it cost a lot of money, I guess it was impossible with a 6th rank stealth rating. Viewers who see themselves failing in the streaming window and write chatting quickly as if having fun. Seeing their reactions, Ste stretched her appetite as if regretting it, but she didn''t show any signs of embarrassment. Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. Kiaaaaaaaaaaa! Kyaaaaaaagh! Hundreds of contaminated crocodiles appearing from all sides, drooling profusely. The majesty and menacing appearance of those spraying vicious acid all over the ce was terrifying enough that the viewer could not help but shrink, but Ste rather smiled. Fortunately, no group of tainted hounds appeared. Those guys move fast, so it''s very difficult to respond, but if there are so many crocodiles, it''s easy. A situation where he waspletely surrounded by monsters in thete 180s. No matter how high her level and abilities were, being surrounded by hundreds and thousands of them, it was a dangerous situation that she couldn''t even dare to run away from, but Ste picked up the staff she had tucked behind her back as if this was not the first time or two. Woo woo woo. A staff that resonates with her mana and emits powerful light. The huge mana that engulfed the entire swamp area was raging around her like a storm, and it was a majestic sight that made my heart feel grand just by looking at it, but Ste was constantly looking into the sky and smiling brightly while doing business. I was busy. to? Use arcane magic here? That''s honestly a waste of mana potion money... 5 million won or so? Oh, then of course you should use it, customer. Ste continues to prepare magic while chattering andmunicating with viewers. The swamp crocodiles, who had been slowly approaching her, opened their mouths wide as if they had seized the opportunity, and began to charge at once. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kyaaaaaaagh! An attack full of will to divide it into two at once. However, Ste''s magic was faster than those crocodile attacks. Big Bang woo woo woo woo. That moment. All light disappeared around Ste. A dark, empty void where nothing exists. And in that short void and darkness that was close to an instant, a tremendous explosion sounded with a pure white light that seemed like it would go blind. Quaang. And at the same time, the crocodiles that rushed towards Ste evaporated without a trace. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa. Intense light energy that spreads rapidly in all directions centered on her. Those who were watching Ste''s broadcast couldn''t hide their excitement when the enormous wave of energy that spread throughout the swamp ended and the monsters, who werepletely charred and unrecognizable, appeared. -and! After all, Ste-sama''s Big Bang is always powerful, right? - Wow. my sister is cool too I want to be a powerful wizard like my sister! -[Starlight Witch Guardian Leader'' sponsored 5,000,000?.] -Starlight! Starlight! Sister, you are so pretty today! The moment when the procession of support and support, such as the deterioration of followers and fans who follow her, is endless. And Ste did not miss this opportunity and responded with a pretty sincere fan service with a smile. What. If you are satisfied, I am happy with that alone. Ste, who always maintains a friendly and mannered attitude, naturally proceeds with the broadcast. Neither too stimting nor boring, she captivates viewers with just the right breathing and atmosphere, and even in Arpendia, which is notorious for its harsh and heartless wildness, she has established herself as a famous BJ and has been fairly well-received. -scent. After all, hidden sses have different sses. -A starlight witch is honestly top tier. good at hunting The content is also fun and well chosen. nice As far as being pretty? Is there any reason not to subscribe? - Also, did you know that a certain portion of the profits you make is donated to an orphanage every month? -There are really few streamers on this floor that you really like. Ste is loved by many people. But even for her, there were antis. -Uuuuuuuuu! The viin who harassed our magic warrior, Angelina! -strength! Xuan! strength! Xuan! -In four years of earthen pot, Angelina''s older sister''s hideous and bulky iron bar (?) will judge! -Heheh..... Angelina Nunna..... 1st ss archmage. A Korean crazy magician who beats until he loses if he doesn''t fall behind.e force judge. Angelina, who is called all kinds of weird and bizarre modifiers, is very popr with many male users. Those who follow and follow her relentlessly follow Ste when she starts broadcasting at some point, and startmitting all sorts of terrorism regardless of means and methods. [Are you trying to steal my sister''s magic book? Are you still human? Huh?] [My older sister is crooked because of you! Take responsibility!] [It was then. The reason why my older sister wielded that hideous iron bar and began breaking everyone''s earthenware pots mercilessly...] Ste, the Witch of Starlight. Moonlight Mage Angelina. A job title that gives off a strong smell of something rted just by hearing it. And after the secret story of the past between the two was publicly known to the public through Angelina''s broadcast, it was Angelina''s viewers who persistently came to Ste''s broadcast and scolded them through real-time chatting, saying they would avenge their sister (?). . However, Ste did not blink an eye at the appearance of such people, but instead greeted them with an attitude full ofposure and smiled with an apologetic face. I apologized before, but I am really reflecting on that. No matter how much I say it was because of the quest for a higher job, it is definitely my fault for trying to take it by force through skill exercise without any consultation. A thing that happened a long time ago. In addition, as a result, Angelina was building and walking her own new path,pletely different from her own job, so Ste bowed her head again and apologized to Angelina''s followers who were rambling. Once again, I apologize for causing controversy to everyone. I have already expressed my sincere apology to Angelina, who was harmed by my careless actions, and fortunately, Angelina epted my forgiveness and we have reconciled amicably. I will continue to reflect on my past mistakes and do what I can to make up for them and repay them. I n to do a lot of volunteer work and continue to do good deeds such as donations. Ste responded by openly admitting wrongdoing and neatly apologizing, rather than brazenly going out or ignoring the incident at all. Rather, it was an atmosphere in which sympathy public opinion prevailed as she apologized excessively to the point where it was embarrassing to be angry, begged for wrongdoing, and asked for forgiveness. -Ugh. Did those apple crowse again? - Apologize even if you apologize dozens of times. Are you an old man with dementia or a cub? -The victim said he forgave them, but what do they say? Ugh. - Mr. Ste! Stop responding to these guys'' demands. No matter how much I apologize, they don''t change? They''re idiots who do that just because they want to insult Ste. - Bottle eating. Right now, the window is being filled with chatting messages defending Ste, swearing at Angelina''s followers with a vicious momentum. It was an overwhelming situation that they couldn''t even dare to rub against with firepower, but Ste was so kind to them. Don''t be too hard on yourself. I did something wrong and this is all my karma. I''ve been prepared for a long time that I will always be the shadow that will follow me and be the scarlet letter. I dont want to avoid it and run away just because I hate myself and dont want to criticize me. Ste, who is kind enough to be foolish. It was the viewers who took the side of those who cursed and criticized her and wrote down all kinds of advice in chat as if they were frustrated seeing her epting everything as karma stemming from her own mistakes. However, they all hesitated at Ste''s continued words. So I decided to see Angelina again tomorrow. -what....? -Meeting Angelina...? That crazy X? Viewers were stunned by Ste''s words that she would reunite with Angelina, who had been following and harassing her so persistently. And to those people, she spat out a bomb deration as if she had been waiting. And Angelina decided to hand over her magic book to me as a wish for my future. He said it was something he no longer needed. -what....? - You really decided to give it to me? just....? Starlight Witch Ste. The reason why she was different from other mages and the source that allowed her to have overwhelming and powerfulbat powerpared to mages of the same level. Starlight Magic Book. And the other half of that starlight magic book, Angelina''s moonlight magic book she''s been longing for so far. Ste dered to everyone with a slightly flushed face that she had expected it more than anyone else at the fact that she had finally obtained it. Yes. I''m finally going to change jobs to a high-ranking Starlight Witch job tomorrow. Chapter 384 Chapter 384 Dungmangem (4) Moonlight Magic Book. This item, which is different from the Moonlight Mage''s former job item and a job-specific skill book that can learn vision skills, was originally supposed to be an item that people with other jobs didn''t need at all, but it wasn''t.

Through the pictures he draws in his head, the ideology that prates thispany and receives the curse of arrogance internationally from billions of users was created. [Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. That''s the secret to making this game a godgame.] But..... Who said that ideals and reality are clearly different? It was clear that the infinite freedom and infinite possibilities made this Arcadia colorful, but because of that, the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. in charge of the work were literally dying. [yes? Why is a perfectly normal vige suddenly destroyed...? Well...?] [What happens when continents are united? Eh..... that''s it.....] [Isn''t the 40% decrease in Holy Power efficiency a bnce issue...? I see...?] Arcadia, where dozens of millions of changes ur every day and are updated and applied instantly. Even if they were aware of such changes, there was no countermeasure or no authority at all, so the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. had no choice but to be consistent with a mol? That''s why the customer center is always thepany''s meat shield, and Arcadia Co., Ltd. has be the number one department to avoid in thepany that must be criticized by users. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon put off all the numerous problems and had a long discussion with Jack with a serious face. What the hell are you talking about? Are you saying that the NPC that gave jobs to both yers, Angelina and Ste, wasn''t Jack''s idea? A mysterious sorceress who granted hidden sses to Angelina and Ste. But it was not the work of Jack, the father who created everything in this world. [yes. I''m a moonlight mage or a starlight witch, so I''ve never created a job like that. That NPC did not originally exist in this Arcadia, but it was identified as an instant NPC that was temporarily made roughly, threw only a job, and disappeared on its own.] Jack, who gave the role. In particr, those rted to the hidden ss had put a lot of effort into conceiving and nning a special narrative, so his golden eyes were full of confidence. [That''s a job created by Kim Min-soo''s son, and it''s an NPC. The moonlight mage and the starlight witch were just fake camouges, and the real thing was different.] The gatekeeper of the dimension that Ste was transferred to. Jack and CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who guessed that it was a real machine that Min-soo had conceived and created, but what they did not understand was the other part. But why is changing jobs to a hidden ss acting as a trigger for ater crisis? Aren''t those twopletely different? Another job that Minsu created. Wandering song of the turbulent world. President Lee Mi-yeon tilted her head as she recalled the past, when Jae-young acquired the job, the main scenario was created, but not until the second half crisis. And to that question, Elise answered instead. [There are many reasons for that, but the key is the user''s tendency.] What...? Alice answered that it was because of the user''s tendency. And Jack grumbled in a nervous voice. [It''s apletely crazy job to be a gatekeeper of that dimension. Take a look at these materials.] Some materials that Jack floated. While reading the characteristics of the job of being a dimensional gatekeeper briefly written in it, CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded. So... outside of Arcadia... in other words, it''s a sort of summoner-like job that can summon beings from the other world and borrow their power, right? Summoners of Arcadia borrow the power of those who have mysterious and powerful power through a contract with the fantasy realm, derived from a branch of magicians with the Summoning school as the mainstream. However, unlike them, there was a big difference between the dimensional gatekeeper. [yes! However, the summoning target is not precisely specified. All of them are beings that I have never conceived, so Minsu conceived and set them up on his own!] Alien beings that did not exist in Arcadia, in other words, that Jack never created, only Minsu created at will. Hearing that a certain user took on the role of a dimensional gatekeeper, the only window to call them to Arcadia, Lee Mi-yeon, president of thepany, began to feel a strange sense of unease. Then... if it''s the second half of the crisis... [Yes. The son of Minsu mixed the summoned ones that will activate the second half crisis.] What is that...? CEO Lee Mi-yeon froze with a shocked face at those words. To her, Alice spoke softly, as if telling her not to expect anything. [This issue informs you that permission from the top administrator is required to view information ording to code 000. Additional details of the second half crisis, including information on the summoned target, may be provided after the activation.] President Lee Mi-yeon and Jack, the creator of this world, want to prevent the second half crisis somehow. However, unlike these two, everything was limited by Alice, who was thorough and fair with the rules and principles set forth in any situation. [Therefore, we are applying an intensive analysis mode for that user. Any act that disrupts or interferes with y by any external means and methods is strictly prohibited, and in case of vition, it will be immediately notified to the chief administrator as a vition of Code 000.] Jack, the chief developer . And the top manager, Kim Min-soo. The contract code 000 that was signed between the two. At the warning not to vite it and use strange moves behind the scenes, President Lee Mi-yeon protested stuttering like a thief stepping on her feet. What did I do...? [We are aware that the administrator intervened in the situation in the game for various reasons.] Alice puts up some evidence, saying that she knows everything without saying anything. Among her materials, one person continued to appear. [Dex, a wanderer in the turbulent world. We already know that the user has no interest in the user Ste. Please keep in mind that using him to change the narrative in Arcadia as before is considered an act of vition of the agreement.] Elise warned in a strong tone, as if not knowing anything else, but not this time. It is true that President Lee Mi-yeon was also honestly stabbed, so she could not even properly protest and bowed her head. [Are you really going to do this, Alice? No matter how much it is, it''s my world, and I don''t know anything, and I''m going to have to face the poop that the bastard is cheap? Isn''t it something I should know too?] Ellis, who had never been this uncooperative before. But this time, Jack said with a face that was more perplexed than anyone else, as he kept itpletely private and excluded all interference. [What information do you want to know?] [Exactly what kind ofte crisis wille and when it will happen. just let me know That''s how it should be, at least CEO Lee Mi-yeon and I are preparing our minds. Doesn''t it matter a lot if you do nothing and just keep an eye on it and just make up your mind?] [.....] Jack asks for a little bit of information that good is good. And Alice, who was silent for a moment at his words, gave apletely unexpected answer. [This crisis cannot be provided as it has not yet been determined. Also, the timing is uncertain because it depends on the user''s y style.] [What...?] Dimensional Gatekeeper. Thousands and tens of thousands... No, a job that summons the target at random among the myriad existences of the other world. And among the enormous summoned targets, there were as many as 20 vicious and dangerous beings enough to trigger a crisis in the second half. [All I can tell you is that there are 20te game crisis scenarios, and only one of them will trigger. And the probability of its activation is only about 0.00001%. There are only these two.] A second half crisis that will be activated with a rare probability of close to one in ten million. However, since the trigger could be activated simply by summoning it using a skill, it was true that the risk was enormous apart from the low probability. That means... if you''re very, very, very lucky, a second half crisis could be triggered just once...? [This probability is lower than the probability of winning the lottery. It is judged that such a case is extremely rare.] The probability is lower than the probability of being struck by lightning on the road. Even when Alice said that there was no need to worry so much right now, President Lee Mi-yeon trembled with a visceral sense of anxiety. Howe... I''m nervous...'' Jack, who is still grumbling and annoyed at Alice, and Alice, who recites the details of her negotiations with Minsu in the past, leave behind the argument. Biting down, I was immersed in my own thoughts. distant future. When decades pass and this Arcadia is filled with boredom, indolence, and boredom. A crisis in thetter half independently created by Minsu, who said that he would overturn the world and give users a sense of excitement and new adventure. The seed of Asura, the owner of the ck Mist, was sprouting too quickly. In a storm of confusion that no one can predict what kind of story will be created. Chapter 386 Chapter 386 Dung Mangem (6) Virtual Reality Arcadia. Although everything was data made of 0s and 1s and was just an illusion, numerouspanies scrambled to invest huge amounts of money. And the reasons were various, but the most important target was the stake in Arcadia. [I will hand over 15% of the stake to whoever clears the final scenario hidden in Arcadia. This is an issue decided by the chief executives of the threepanies for the global revival of virtual reality and the development of enterprising talent. So.....] The threepanies that can be said to be the owners of virtual reality technology and the holdingpany of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Corporation Argos. Silicoff Bio Industries. and ajin electrons. Everyone gave up 5% of their shares, and countless people jumped into and explored the world of Arcadia with dreams inted by an enormous pledge unprecedented in human history. And most of those on that journey were not alone. [We... have a better bnce than we thought, and our hearts match, so should we promote as a regr party?] [We live and die together at the same time. Until the day our n bes the best in the world!] [For ck panties!] [Um..... Why don''t we create a guild by ourselves?] As small as a party or n, a small social group People who started and eventually formed an organization called a guild and started collective action. With the support ofpanies and investors, as the scale grew and became more specialized, yers who werepletely different from before were created. full-time gamer. A gamer who is recognized for his exceptional talent in a specific guild or organization and receives a fixed amount of money and benefits. And Ste was one of those full-time gamers that was moving ahead of everyone else. Hohohoho..... Ahahahahaha! That idiot bitch. Ste, who closed the connection and came out of the capsule,ughed madly by herself. Until the end of the broadcast, she fully felt the pleasure of victory by revealing her true self, which she had barely suppressed while acting as a wounded victim with a gloomy face. I don''t want to give it to my heart, but I have to force it... It''s really crazy. Ste can still see the image of Angelina, who is still unable to contain the anger in her eyes. Anotherugh of joy was about to burst out, but the sudden ringing of the phone forced her to hold back the joy for a moment. Yes, sir. The job is well done. [Congrattions. I was watching it live The picture was chosen well?] Ste joined Cygnus, one of Arcadia''s famous guilds, promising a huge sry. She responded with a triumphant voice to the guild master Maeve who congratted her. Ho-ho-ho. Thanks to whom? The effect of receiving special training from the trainer is certain. [of course. As for acting, he was a well-known friend in the industry, so he had a hard time finding it.] Well... Acting was the same, but he was also simple and ignorant, so it was easy to deal with. Angelina is a foolish and naive character who can''t even spit properly at the so-called smiling face. That''s why Ste asked in a coy voice with a deep smile as if this incident had been aplete piece of cake. At this point, it wasnt that bad, right? It didnt take much work, so I dont think it cost much. [Well... It''s been a while, but it''s still a pity..... If the controversial content was dragged on for a long time and sympathy was maximized, it could have attracted arge number of subscribers.] Breaking down Angelina''s mentality The Cygnus Guild, who instigated all kinds of malicious work for the sake of it. However, he continued to grumble that he should have taken more time, as if it was regrettable that he did not see the effect as he had initially envisioned because he raised the white g sooner than expected. At his whining, Ste frowned and muttered as if slightly annoyed, but soon responded with a broad smile again. Ah, but it cant be helped. How do you refuse it when your mentality is broken and you are saying to give it back? Rather, if I continued to work while procrastinating in that situation, the viewers would notice that it was rather strange, and it could be more problematic. [Is that so...?] Yes. It doesn''t matter because I changed jobs to higher ranks anyway. The concept and style of y arepletely different, so I think it will take some getting used to at first. [ah. So, by the way, what the hell is that job? A dimensional gatekeeper...? I don''t think it has anything to do with starlight or moonlight?] Witch of starlight. and the Moonlight Mage. To say that the two jobs were created by merging, it is a job name that feels a sense of difference innguage itself. However, Ste answered his words with a meaningful smile. Not at all? Does it suit you very well? [okay....? Exactly what is it...?] First of all, it was a summoning-type mage job that was different from what I expected. Like the Starlight Witch in the past, it seems like a job with apletely different mechanism from elemental magic. [Summoning ss...? What the hell are you summoning? Talk about it properly.] Maeve showed great interest and was impatient, as if she couldn''t hold back her curiosity any longer. Ste spoke to him in a rxed tone. See that with your own two eyes. If you log in now, I will show you right away. * * * Paquel Kingdom, where the Cygnus Guild is based. The most notorious hunting ground there was the Howling Gorge. -There are all flying monsters with wings, so the hunting efficiency is dog shit. -I would say harpies and gargoyles, but isn''t it crossing the line for dozens of griffons and wyverns to appear at once? -If you get caught and drop it from a height of hundreds of meters, isn''t it an instant death regardless of your level? -yep. If you make a mistake and give it back once, it''s right to see it as just dead. -I''m going there for a quest. Who''s going there to hunt? A wastnd with steep canyons hundreds of meters high. A hunting ground full of numerous flying monsters that have settled there. That''s why hunting monsters is more difficult and more dangerous than anywhere else, so only users with different purposes would asionally set foot in this ce. - Looking for a party of thieves to go steal wyvern eggs or griffon eggs! - Preferential treatment for Tamer-rted skills! Looking for someone who wants to tame griffon! - This is a delivery request rted to the Paquel Kingdom. Those who can get 20 griffon eggs. The deadline is one month. Wyverns and griffons nest and live only in very limited environments. In fact, these two monsters were extremely strong and tricky beings, but at the same time, they were also strategic resources with tremendous value. [Wyverns and griffons hatch from eggs and at the same time recognize and imprint the beings they face as parents. Therefore, if you acquire an egg before hatching and carefully take care of it from the time it is a baby and raise it, it will regard the imprinted object as its parent and follow it even when it bes an adult.] The power that flies through the sky. Since the eggs of these two monsters were the most essential in order to change jobs to special jobs in the Pakel kingdom called Griffon Knight or Wyvern Ranger, countless people who were looking for these eggs, which were traded at exorbitantly high prices, used to visit this Howling Gorge. Keeeeeeeeeee! Of course, most of them failed in the theft and died falling from an enormous height and ending up in bindaetteok. And Ste, standing in the howling canyon, was looking at the nest of a group of griffons taking a leisurely nap from afar. Maeve, who had been watching her from the side, opened her mouth as if she couldn''t stand it any longer. So what are you going to do now? What are you trying to summon? Maeve can''t even get a sense of why he came to this ce. But Ste said with a strange smile. I dont know what to summon. what....? What are you talking about? Look for yourself... Dimensional Rifts. Woo woo woo. As she activates her skill, gray energy spreads out and the air strangely twists. And something strange came out of the void. Keeeeeeeeeeeee! What is it? This....? well? The message... says that it is a walking sapling. what....? An indescribable monstrous creature that literally takes the form of a seedling, but has two legs and walks around screaming grotesquely. And even Ste, who summoned it,manded it with an expression that she couldn''t understand. Whatever... go over there and fight. Keeeeeeeeeee! Still, the sapling, whose name is a summoned beast, understands Ste''smand and rushes straight to the griffons'' nest. However, as soon as the sapling approached the nest, it was horribly torn apart. [The minion has died.] [The minion is removed from the summonable list.] [Dimensional energy level increases by 10.] As expected, I was right. Is it increasing like this...? Ste muttered with a fishy smile. And as if she still didn''t understand the situation, Maeve looked at her again with an absurd face and asked. What the hell is this about? What''s with that weird guy? I mean the gatekeeper of the dimension I transferred to. It''s a fun job. what....? Ste smiles brightly as if she roughly understood the nature of her job and tells the story in detail. And while listening to her exnation, Maeve nodded her head in interest. So... if you use the summoning skill called Dimension Rift, a summon is randomly created, but when that summon dies, apletely different one is summoned...? yes. Once the number of summons is decided, it seems to be fixed with that person. Even if you cancel the summon and summon it again, the same guy will appear. It is presumed that after the summons die, a stronger one is summoned...? yes. Since the first guy I summoned was a soldier ant from another world, you dont have to say anything more about the situation, right? The first time I summoned a skill with a pounding heart, when I saw a small ant crawling on the dirt floor. Ste couldn''t hold back her anger and trampled the ant mercilessly. And at that moment, a message popped up in front of Ste''s eyes. [The summon has died.] [The summon is excluded from the summonable list.] [Dimensional energy level increases by 1.] And after several experiments, Ste came up with a n. That''s why she dared to visit the most notorious gorge in the Paquel Kingdom. Dimension Rift. Whoops. [The door to another world opens.] [The Crying Goat'' is summoned from the dimensional rift. ] Skill activated again. And a summoned beast with a strange name pops up again. And Ste repeated the samemand as before. good. Cut! A goat running towards the griffon nest, screaming, whether it knows it will die or not. And while repeating the same ending as before, Ste said with a very deep smile to Maeve who was staring nkly at her. Here, we are going to kill all the trash-like summoned beasts. If you delete unnecessary summons one by one like this... Uuuung. Rifts of countless dimensions that are summoned again and again. And countless grotesque monsters popping out of it. Looking at the unidentified beings from another world running towards the limbs, she murmured. Wouldn''t someday an incredibly strong fraudulent summons pop out? Chapter 387 Chapter 387 Dung Mangem (7) The Supreme Council of Magic has be an organization with tremendous authority and influence representing all magicians on the unified continent of Arcadia. Those who have risen to the top of the realm allowed to humans as archmages and 7th circle masters, each of whom can be said to be the best wizards. In addition, thanks to the magic book she had acquired in advance, even Gallia, who had entered the 8th Circle, although it was not perfect. Looking at the full members of the 8 Madou Supreme Council, Haimer swallowed his saliva involuntarily with a tense face. Wow..... The atmosphere is really bloody...'' Even though no one is saying anything, the atmosphere is so threatening that the whole body feels numb just by looking at it. Hans, a member of the Necromancy School, was the first to speak in the cold atmosphere where even death seemed to flow. You call that an offer now? Let''s appoint such a young chick as an official member of the Demon Ind Supreme Council...? A wizard representing each continent and the position of the supreme councilor of magic, which has be a glorious and powerful position given only to those who have reached the highest level. Everyone gathered in this ce was the one who reached the 7th Circle Master, which can be said to be the end of magic, so their age was enormous beyond the imagination of ordinary people. What is the realm of magic? What power are you hiding? How did you change your appearance? It''s like a transformation magic I''ve never seen before... Oz, the head of the Witchcraft school, who looks like a young girl of about 10 years old, but has already entered the three-digit age range a long time ago. She muttered as she looked around at Haimer with a look of interest. I can''t even feel the magic... What the hell is this guy? Canonphilia school? magic science? What the hell is that all about? Wizards from other continents who don''t know much about the Gael Federation yet. To all those who tilted their heads with faces full of curiosity and doubt, Gallia calmly continued to introduce Haimer as if making a head-on breakthrough. As I said before, he is the founder of a new school of magic, and strictly speaking, he is not a wizard like us. His understanding of magic is better than anyone else''s, but he has a body that is naturally incapable of umting mana. what....? What is that...? It''s not that I hid my power... I didn''t have mana in the first ce...? As if shocked by the words, those who freeze with a puzzled expression. And soon, violent reactions erupted here and there. Are you kidding me? How dare you bring someone who is not even a wizard to a ce like this and make such a suggestion. Are you sane now? Are you saying that you don''t know that even making that proposal would undermine the authority and honor of the Imado Supreme Council? If you act ridiculously like this just because you have the title of Chairman, then you need to seriously reconsider the agreement we signed, Chairman of the Supreme Council of Maddo Gallia. Cold cynicism and fierce hostility rise here and there as if there is nothing more to hear. However, Gallia, as if anticipating their reactions, hurriedly tried to exin. Everyone, calm down and listen to what I have to say. This child is... The only country in Arcadia without a king. A republic that won freedom with the power of citizens and defended freedom alone from huge foreign powers. Gael Federation. And the main character, Haimer, who created that ridiculous, miraculous narrative. Gaul praised the innovative magic theory he created and the ingenious, novel, and infinitely useful artifacts created by numerous magic engineers, and Gallia tried to convince the other seven magicmissioners somehow. If you look at the strength of the Canon Philia School, you will understand why I am like this. No, looking at the countless magical knowledge and theories created and researched by those so-called magical engineers, it is certain that there are parts that we must learn from and follow, and that we must cooperate and embrace in order to develop magic in the future... .. Quaang. Hans ms the desk as if he will no longer listen to Galia. He looked at Gallia, who paused in the middle of his speech, with a contemptuous expression on his face. Did I hear you right now? Did the representative of magicians say that we have something to learn from Dotaejong, who can''t even learn magic like that? Dotaejong (̭N). An insulting expression used by wizards when looking down on them and looking down on them for not being able to learn magic by nature. He didn''t say it openly at all, but when he unknowingly and unknowingly revealed this thought held deep in the hearts of wizards without adding or subtracting, Haimer''s face, who knew the meaning more than anyone else, hardened. Sir Hans! Why did I say something wrong? Why did a writer who values diversity for the development of magic lead us to make the decision to forever seal the 8th circle magic book, which the Necromancy school most desperately wanted, because it was ck magic? Then, bring in front of me a pathetic and inferior idiot who is not even a wizard like that and treat him on the same level as us? Do you know how hypocritical that sounds? Three conditions to be a wizard. Mana management ability. A body capable of umting mana. Exceptional intelligence capable of understanding magic. Those who were chosen by meeting all those conditions and rose to the pinnacle of wizards respected and revered by everyone. To them, the words to bring Haimer, who did not meet the basic conditions and qualifications of a wizard, to the Supreme Council of Magic, who were on the same level as them, was no different from removing a stone with a stone rolled in. That''s why voices of sympathy erupted here and there at Hans'' words. Sir Hans is right. No matter how good magical knowledge is, aren''t they people who can only imitate magic, who can neither possess mana nor manage mana? How can such peopleprehend the extremes of truth and magic in this world? I understand that you are a young man with consummate talents. But even so, it seems that he is far behind in rank to be a member like us. No matter how much you think about it, the 7 members of the magicmittee talk in a negative tone as if this is not the case. And Hans, who was carrying them behind, spoke with a triumphant spirit as if he could never back down. Even if you are the chairman of thismittee, you don''t have the authority to pass bills against our will ex officio. We have to convince at least four members and get their votes. Amittee that goes back to a thoroughly democratic system. There were no exceptions, even if he was the chairman, so Hans nced at the others sitting in the conference room and muttered with a confident face. And it doesnt seem like anyone agrees with Chairman Gauls argument. ..... There was a chilly silence in which no one spoke, but the atmosphere was clearly felt. A situation where no one wees Haimer, the subject of this conversation. So Gallia struck first and reversed her original stance. Good. If you''re going to oppose it this far, I''ll take a step back. In the midst of resistance that was stronger than expected, Gaul showed a clear expression of bewilderment, but spoke as if she could not give up. Please appoint this child as an official professor at Ouroboros, an academic institution and integrated magic academy that will be newly established. Even if he can''t use magic, I''m sure he''s an exceptional talent, with the magical knowledge he possesses that is second to nonepared to ours. joy. what magical knowledge. A person who has never used magic himself gives a lecture on magic and mana? Do you really think that someone who learns only in theory and who has no experience can teach really well? That''s what the corpse dealer said. In addition, if the academy is targeting apprentice wizards and students who are still inexperienced in mana management skills, if the instructor is not a wizard, they will not be able to respond appropriately in an emergency situation. He was moved by the word corpse arm, but Hans red at Oz for a moment, who gave support to his words, then turned his head and looked at Galia, and said Hans. I don''t know why you''re trying so hard to drag that kid in. Sir Gallia Could it be that they are from the same continent? To strengthen your voice and influence in this magic supreme council? Whoops. Their sarcasm seems to be crossing the line. Gaul gave a low warning with a cold face as if angry at him. ...Be careful with your words. Powerful magic power wrapped around the conference hall again. It was obviously a power that overwhelms him, but Hans nced at others who agreed with him, and then confidently faced Gallia and shouted. If thats not the case, give up! We have no intention of recognizing pseudo-mages who are not real wizards like that! This bastard...! At that moment, Galia lost her patience and tried to scream. However, when Haimer suddenly stood in front of him and stopped him, Galia froze with a dumbfounded expression for a moment. If you dont mind, can I say something...? Heimer has a very calm voice and a confident attitude without being intimidated. And he began to talk honestly about what he felt calmly, as if he didn''t need consent. I know and keenly understand the location and position of many other magical engineers, including myself, better than anyone else. Everyone aspired and dreamed of bing a wizard, and they were frustrated and despaired in front of a huge wall of reality. They are full of desire and passion for magic more than anyone else. However, in the midst of cursed physical talent, those who eventually had to give up their dreams. That''s why Haimer spoke on behalf of those who stay up all night repeating numerous studies and experiments to realize magic even with magic stones. I will not ask you to treat us equally. I also had no intention of being treated proudly as a wizard, and I had no intention of wanting to get the benefits of it in the first ce. Haimer, who stood here at Gallia''s earnest request from the beginning. However, in the midst of the prejudiced hatred of the so-called orthodox wizards, he was able to let go of all the longing for those he had harbored in his heart. I... and everyone in the Gael Federation is a researcher of magical engineering'', not magic''. We are not sorcerers, we are walkers on a new path as wizardspletely different from those of you here. I just want to ask you to respect that point, and I will voluntarily step down in order not to create any more trouble. Wait a minute. Hey..... Haimer left the conference room without looking back. And Gallia tries to catch him with a puzzled face. However, seeing his firm eyes as if he had already made a firm decision, Galia couldn''t bear to stop him. widely. Whoa..... When the door to the meeting hall was closed, a loud voice echoed through the door, as if an enormous argument was going on, along with Gallia''s high voice, but Haimer left them with a bitter expression. The orthodox wizards who dismissed all the achievements of Gael Federation''s magic engineers as quasi-magic and drove out Hymer. Haimer turned around in frustration in front of a huge wall that could never be surpassed, experiencing all kinds of discrimination and cold treatment in front of their own league, which was already firmly piled up. But no one knew of the great crisis that was right around the corner. The fact that true heroes are born in such a crisis is also true. In this way, the wheel of fate in this virtual world was spinning like crazy. In a situation no one expected. Chapter 388 Chapter 388 Dungmangem (8) Kueeeeeeeeee! Kiaaaaaaa! Howling Gorge known as the most dangerous area and attraction in the Pakel Kingdom. In addition to griffons and wyverns that make sharp cries, this ce where numerous flying monsters live was always noisy with their cries, but this moment was different. [They''re really weak creatures...] A huge golem whose entire body is burning with green mes. Moving his massive body, burning and crushing every nest and creature in the Howling Gorge, he was carrying out his ughter. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... The canyon is full of fear of death and cries of anger that has lost its home. However, the golem just continued to do what it was doing without hesitation. [Is your weakness a sin? Die in despair.] Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. A huge storm of green mes rising from the canyon. As the immense superheated mes, which turned everything into a handful of ashes, circled the canyon and swept those flying around, the sky filled with hundreds and thousands of birds was filled with silence as if it had never been. This can''t be... Ste, the main culprit of this sudden massacre. She opened her mouth in amazement as she saw the existence that was killing that enormous number of monsters alone in front of her eyes. [Summons gain a lot of experience through hunting.] [Some of the acquired experience is reced with dimensional energy.] [Dimensional energy has increased by 6920.] Ste, who was level 230 now. However, through this short hunt, which took less than an hour, she was able to raise her level by 6 at once. [The level has risen.] [The title Wyvern yer has been acquired.] [The title Griffon yer has been obtained.] [The title Fear of the Winged has been acquired.] . . . In addition to the yer title, which can only be obtained by killing at least 1000 identical objects, Ste has obtained several special titles. That alone was a huge benefit, but there were other benefits that were even greater than that. [I dealt with all those weak bugs as ordered.] Kuung. It is an enormous size that seems to be about 10m long. A green me that burns so fiercely that even approaching it is difficult. On top of that, he has a strong determination that doesn''t budge from anything and even has an ego, so he can evenmunicate. [Relentless Scorner.] Staring at him, Ste said in a puzzled but calm tone. Thats right. good job. The order was given without thinking just to check the fighting power. However, cold sweat flowed down Ste''s back at his power that so perfectly cleared the howling gorge. [Is there anothermand?] Oh no. Now that it''s over, let''s go back. Ste''s words sound like Is there anywhere else to massacre?'' Aware of Maeve''s eyes shining with excitement next to her, she sent him away. [i get it. If another mission arises, call me.] When told to return, the golem returned to the dimensional rift without regret or hesitation. After he disappeared, Maeve started making all sorts of fuss as if she had waited. and! What is this really? Is that really a summons? Ive never really seen anything like this, so what the hell kind of job did you get? Maeve pours out all sorts of questions with a shocked face like a rapid-fire cannon. Of course, Ste''s summoning waspletely different from that of ordinary summoners. Summoner. A job that temporarily borrows the power of many monsters and animals, including Shinsoo, through connection and response to the fantasy realm where they live. However, unlike normal wizards, it was notorious for being a tricky job with more to worry about than expected due to summoning and handling creatures from other dimensions. -My summoner looks down on me because I have low charisma. -Ah..... When will I sign a contract with Shinsoo and wipe it all out..... -Ha. It looked very strong, so I signed a contract, but it turned out that it was only scary to look at. -I signed a contract with an F-ranker, but does it really take 3 days to cancel this? Any other way? -Why doesn''t this damn dungmangem tell you the ability? Are you here on purpose to get fucked? Arcadia''s system, when you first greet a summoned beast and sign a contract, you cannot check any stats or characteristics other than the summoned target''s appearance. Therefore, users always had to take a picture of whether the target they summoned was poop or soybean paste and eat it in order to distinguish whether it was poop or not. In addition, if the contract was canceled after btedly determining that it was shit, additional contracts were not possible for 3 days due to the penalty, so users would just cry and eat mustard unless there was a lot of shit. You can repeat summons like this without any restrictions? No, more than that, once you die, you can''t summon it again? Is that okay? Unlike normal summoners, who die in unexpected circumstances while hunting, Ste cannot summon the same target again once it dies, unlike normal summoners who revive after a day. That alone was surprising, but there was something more than that. Besides... that... why are you so obedient to what you say...? The true reason why summons are called the most demanding and extreme job. It was because of the tremendous power of the summons. -Ah..... I was lucky enough to sign a contract with Manticore. I don''t get along well with the Basilisk I used to deal with. If you summon the two together, let alone hunt, they fight to the death, but what should we do with this? -You have to disband the Manticore. Are you sure you want to throw away the Basilisk that was with you through the difficult times? -Are you able to sell Manticore? It''s very hard to get, but I''m lucky. -Summoner like this x foot X. He said he would die from the heat and fought on his own, then went back and searched. It''s hot in the desert, so it must be cold, you fucking coke bear!!!!!! -Hahahahahahahahahahaha summoned the summoned. In general, the summoned beasts who gave away the top and bottom clothes. Summoners'' stance in general was Eul, as all kinds of damage cases could be found in Arfandia, where even the slightest mistake made them act their own way, slow down, strike, and even attack the summoner. Hey... can you attack me...?'' Um...... What are you going to do for me if we fight?'' Summoners who are anxious to manage their summoned beasts while calming them down and increasing their intimacy somehow. But Ste''s case was far different from these normal situations. Hundreds and thousands of summoned beasts rushed towards the limbs at hermand, even though dying was so natural. Maeve''s head began to spin rapidly, as he had never seen summoned beasts blindly follow him. This is great...? Strong is also strong, but with this concept...'' Although the summoner''s profession has long been pushed out of the mainstream due to the vicious power of the summons, there is still a considerable number of people in demand. As the master of the Cygnus Guild, he managed even the Arfandia channels of his guild members, so he had no choice but to tap the calctor to generate future profits. Its fine. What? The job of being a gatekeeper of that dimension or something. People may feel a sense of alienation because the y style has changed so much from before, but it''s not to the point of leaving the channel. Rather, it can attract a lot of new inflows? Maeve brings to mind dozens of bizarre and stimting subjects that no one has filmed before. He said with a smirk that it would be fun just thinking about it. From now on, I will go with the image of the idols of the summoners. how is it? If I die, I will die!'' Do you think we can give the summoners tremendous vicarious satisfaction if we take a video of them faithfully following orders with this feeling? Maeve caught a glimpse of the future of the money cushion that will move forward together with the powerful golem, who has shown tremendous ipetence in the future. But at his words, Ste pondered for a moment and then said with a deep smile and an eye smile. Hmm..... That''s good too, but it''s a little different from what I thought. okay? What were you thinking...? As you''ve seen before, you''ll know.... When the target I summon dies, itpletely disappears and other summons are randomly summoned. Right... so? Isnt this... very simr to other summoners? Maeve tilted her head with a dubious expression as if she didn''t understand Ste''s words. ...What on earth are they simr to? Those who just foolishly repeat the summons in the hope of canceling the contract just because they dont like the summoned beast and wanting to be a stronger summoned beast and be a transcendent being like a divine beast. That''s a summoner. Summoners, beings who waste time in vain to repeatedly draw good summons, chasing dreams in illusions. To the people who repeat the so-called re-semara or summoning work, Ste intended to clearly show it. I am targeting them. It gives them a kind of vicarious satisfaction by constantly summoning other summons and showing them how powerful they are. Unlike you, I can instantly summon and deal with ves who only obey orders. And it was definitelypetitive enough for Maeve to feel. Is that really okay...? I know that most of the summoners are getting headaches because of the summons, but if that''s the case, it''s a really great cider. But suddenly, a problem popped into Maeve''s mind. But if the summoned person doesnt die, only the same person will be summoned. what about that? A situation where the Golem, which boasted of its tremendous power, could not be reced with another one until it died. However, Ste said with a very calm face. It is going to be a long-term project. Impregnable dungeons and hunting grounds that no one could clear. They hunt by deliberately visiting only the notorious so-called forbidden'' ces on the entire continent. In the process of challenging the impossible, the summons continue to die and the summons be stronger and stronger. Don''t you think how much stronger you can be and the sight of various summons fighting in numerous atrocious hunting grounds will be able to enthrall people? Quite a lot of things have been discovered and cleared, but the world of Arcadia is still full of undiscovered and unknown areas that boast extreme difficulty. It was a story that was tantamount to a guarantee check for a jackpot, so Maeve froze with a shocked face. Wow... Looking back, it seems that recruiting you, Ste, was truly an act of God. Ho-ho-ho. Did you know now? Steughed yfully at those words and said with a look of anticipation. Then let''s start by looking for areas full of powerful monsters. I have to think in detail about where and how to film. So these two disappeared with the bright light. The Howling Gorge... or rather, the ruins that have now turned into apletely silent wastnd, where all life is gone. Human greed is infinite. People who don''t know satisfaction, always covet more than that, and are greedy to get everything in their hands. And because of them, a great disaster eventually came and countless stories of disgrace were constantly giving us lessons and warning, but the perpetrators usually repeated the same mistakes. And obviously, Ste and Maeve were stupid and stupid who did not know the truth that there is no power without a price in the world.... They were just criminals who were blinded by greed. They are unaware of the great catastrophe they will bring with their own hands. Chapter 389 Chapter 389 Dungmangem (9) After handing over the magic book to Ste. Angelina turned around with an expression that was indescribable to this contradictory feeling of being frustrated and relieved. And Casis, who looked at her face without saying anything, spoke words offort with a nonchnt face as usual. Are you okay? A short sentence that cannot be found in rhetoric. However, knowing that there was a sincere heart that worried about her, Angelina took a deep breath, closed her eyes, calmly calmed down, and answered. huh. Now the weirdos won''t bother you anymore. A book that suffered for a long time, suffering from all sorts of maliciousments and terrorism from countless anonymous users who did not know who they were, not their own will. On the outside, Casis tried tofort Angelina, knowing that she was violent and more macho than any other man, but inside she was full of the emotions of a girl who was weaker and weaker than anyone else. It was a good choice. The CEO also said that from now on, those who do strange things again will actively take legal action, so it will be quiet in the future. Whew... what should I do? Being criticized is the fate of a streamer. If it hadn''t been for that bastard''s down payment, I''d have done all the broadcasting. Through a contract with iPlus, Angelina received an enormous down payment of billions of dors and made a contract to periodically upload broadcasts for the next three years. It was the best decision she had to make because of the contract, whether she liked it or not, she had to continue living as a streamer, but no matter how much she thought about it, she grumbled as if her pride was hurt. But the damn bitch was still there. A disgusting lump of pretense that pretends to be nice in front of other people and trembles. Ugh..... Angelina knows Ste''s true self. But no matter how much she said it, she kept her mouth shut, knowing that it would only be a mud fight to eat off her own weight. do not worry. After all, with time, the truth will be revealed. Rather... I have a ce to stop for a while. huh? Where are you all of a sudden? While Angelina broke up to meet Ste, Jae-young reunites with Casis after a long time and has a brief break. He advised both of them. [Have you been to Gael Federation? It''s right near here, so check it outter when you have time. There''s Haimer there, and if I tell him I told him to go see him, he''ll probably take care of it. There are a lot of fun things, and anyway, it''s very unique.] Gael Federation, the only republic in Arcadia without a king and the birthce of a new study called magic science. It''s just a passing story, but Casis decided to take Angelina there. He told me to go to the Gael Federation. suddenly....? why....? Angelina is making an expression saying that something is wrong. However, at that question, Casis hesitated for a moment, then muttered in a low voice. I just... thought there would be a lot to see. what? At those words, Angelina froze with an expression of disbelief. Are these the words that came out of this brawler''s mouth...?'' All Weapon Master Casis. He is a prickly man who is perfect for everyone with his outstanding strength and neat yet wless physicality. He is gaining all kinds of poprity for his mysticism and especially has a huge female fandom thanks to his handsome appearance. However, Angelina, who had been with him for most of her time in Arcadia, looked at him a little differently. A madman who only knows how to fight.'' A perverted psychopath who feels joy while hunting.'' A bastard who doesn''t seem to bleed even if stabbed.'' Deceiver.'' He is satisfied when he hears rumors that there are strong or difficult monsters, and goes to them without hesitation. Casis, who always pursues battles with monsters that exceed the limits of his level and ability, and feels the joy of oveing the extreme situation as if enjoying it, has never moved without a purpose. That''s why Angelina walked right in front of Casis with a suspicious face and asked. You bastard... what are you up to? What do you mean? Angelina questioned with a stern expression. Casis was quite taken aback by the reaction, which waspletely different from the expectation that he would like it with an excitedugh, but he responded calmly without showing any reaction with a nonchnt face as usual. Dont think of cheating again likest time, tell me honestly. What else? Are you thinking of finding another dungeon with a perverted difficulty level and leading it? Are you sure you''re not trying to take me to a ce like thest time you went to a mountain lodge? If you do, I''m not joking, you die and I die. Angelina, who had been through a simr situation before. That''s why she growled with a stern face as if she would never be fooled. So dont use strange moves and blow right away. What else? What did you find this time? ...it''s not like that. Angelina hates scary things more than anything else. And Casis, who once lied to her to take her to a dungeon full of hideous undead and ghost-type monsters. Seeing Angelina questioning him by mentioning the incident at that time, Casis felt a little unfair, but he couldn''t say anything because it was something he had done wrong. Then what is it? Do you really want to just go and have a look? As I go, I try to adjust the equipment a bit. I thought I could develop a new fighting style if I made good use of that revolver. Casis, who made an excuse in such a short time. And, as if believing his words, Angelina finally solved her face and pondered for a while. Yeah, well... I think it might be fun. It won''t be bad. Angelina smiles and responds positively. And thinking that it was not hunting for the first time in a while, but that she could just take a rest without thinking, she started walking ahead of Casis. What are you doing standing there? Are you going to stay up all night? Angelina urged while looking back at Casis, who was not following her and was standing around with a stupid expression. And only then, Casis nodded slightly and started moving. It''s difficult.....'' Angelina, who had been crying with a dark expression until just now, now sings a song with a face that doesn''t know anything and is moving her steps excitedly. As she walked behind her, Casis felt a strange feeling for the first time. [I hope you can rx a little while having fun there.] Casis decided to go to the Gael Federation only to change Angelina''s mood. Strangely, however, the words did note out of her mouth in front of her. no i couldn''t pounding. Angelina growls as if she is going to eat her, ring at her with fierce eyes like a tiger. It was obviously a tremendous force that could overwhelm any strong man, but strangely, in that situation, Casis felt a thrill as he heard the strangely beating sound of his heart. It''s really... it''s strange...'' Angelina, who is called by everyone as an older sister and praised in the notoriety of being a pot breaker. And looking at her like that, Casis felt confused for the first time in his life because of his indescribable feelings. Following Angelina, who seemedpletely oblivious to his feelings. * * * Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Starting with Ste''s former job, which will trigger the crisis in the second half, she stopped all external activities and went into seclusion. Ha..... Those are really crazy. After promising not to intervene in any way, President Lee Mi-yeon watched their y in real time through Alice''s cooperation. And she sighed as she watched Ste choose the worst-case scenario she was most concerned about. You''re going to repeat the summoning like that? And while deleting all unnecessary objects as quickly and as quickly as possible? After driving thousands of summoned beasts to their deaths in the Howling Gorge, she is determined to summon the strongest summoned beast by searching for all kinds of extreme environments. Although it may have happened out of ignorance of the enormous consequences of his actions, it was clear that the tragedy that would result from that huge disaster would strike everyone in Arcadia, so President Lee Mi-yeon frowned and bit her nails. ripped off Ellis, can you read the information on the monster Ste summoned? [it''s possible. Please check rted content.] A huge golem thatpletely wiped out a hunting ground by itself. President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a puzzled face after checking the detailed information of the summoned beast, which even had an ego and boastedbat power and efficiency that could not even bepared to ordinary golems. What is it... Why are there no basic settings...? Everything in Arcadia does not exist without meaning. A world where even insignificant beings have their own stories. Even low-level monsters such as goblins have their own narratives and settings, and quests are created ordingly, but the monsters summoned by Ste did not have such a thing. [As I exined before, only 20 objects were conceived by the top manager. There are no special narratives or settings because the other beings are randomly constructed ording to the algorithm given to me.] Beings who created everything in Arcadia in the first ce.... Beings that were not born from Jack, the chief developer and creator. . That''s why the ruthless scorner, now listening to Ste''s orders, didn''t have such aplicated setting and narrative from the beginning. And Ellis spoke of such beings from the other world. [In the case of Unnamed, which are objects I randomly created, the narrative and setting begin to be created from the moment they are summoned. However, considering the current y style of the user, it is analyzed that it would be difficult to create such a setting and narrative because the summons die too quickly.] Normal summoners spend a long time with their summons,ughing, crying, getting angry, and interacting with each other. Unlike those who fight, care for each other, and create their own precious stories in afortable break in a crisis, Ste indiscriminately and once again exhausts her summons just because there is no penalty. So she asked with a worried expression. Then how many summons have been deleted so far, and what is the probability ofter Crisis activation? The probability of activating the second half Crisis, which was originally a 1 in 10 million chance. Obviously, since the probability was an independent trial, the possibility of it being activated was extremely low, but President Lee Mi-yeon''s anxiety continued to rise as Ste''s actions continued to increase the probability. [There are 4643 objects that have been excluded so far, and the probability of triggering is 0.0000122774%.] It is a very weak number, but the probability has definitely increased. However, President Lee Mi-yeon''s face was stained with astonishment at Alice''s story. [...I will correct it. The activation probability is currently 0.0000246232%.] What...? what does that mean? Why all of a sudden? CEO Lee Mi-yeon asks with a puzzled face at the sudden doubled probability. However, Alice exined the reason in a dry tone. [The user found out how to increase the probability. Check out the real-time video.] At those words, President Lee Mi-yeon hurriedly turned her head to check the monitor. And her face hardened as she watched Ste gulping something. Sir... How to increase the chance of summoning in thete game crisis. It was the lucky stat. Luck, a garbage stat that is known to be the most useless in Arcadia, is ignored by all users, and no one cares about it. However, at this moment, that luck suddenly turned into the most important and dangerous ability. While ying the role of a lever that raises the curtain on the stage of the end of Arcadia. Chapter 390 Chapter 390 The End of the Human Era Has Arrived (1) Arcadia had numerous abilities. A power that increases vitality and physical attack power. An intelligence that increases the maximum amount of mana and magic attack power. Agility rted to high attack speed, evasion rate, and movement speed. In addition to the so-called popr stats, there were many stats with various effects that could only be acquired under certain circumstances and upations. -For those who want to be a warrior, get patience and shoot at least 100 of them. Only then can you learn Endure and endure without being instantly killed. - To be honest, isn''t charm a must for merchants? When negotiating with NPCs, if you have high charm, it seems that the added value is very good ... Intelligence 2 Domination 2 Stamina 1. Is this correct? Thousands and tens of thousands of jobs that stretch out into countless branches and countless abilities that exist ordingly. Therefore, users who develop their own characters freely and colorfully without a standardized training method. However, even in such an open and inclusive atmosphere, there was one ability that no one would ever touch. Luck. It is a stat given to everyone by default when a character is first created, but the most useful has not been revealed, and at the same time, its efficiency is notorious for being meaningless. - Where on earth is luck used? -That''s garbage. Critical rate increases, but does it increase by 0.01% per stat? -In order to get 100% crit, arithmetically, only 10000 luck stats are required. -There are rumors that if you shoot it, the production sess rate and quality will improve. But it''s not exactly clear. -The probability of finding a good item while hunting in a dungeon will increase, right? - If you shoot that, you will have a girlfriend. Or not. ^^ - If you get lucky, you can eat seolleongtang. In the case of other stats, there were many cases in which data on the most ideal and efficient distribution and fostering method were already perfectly organized at a level close to thesis, thanks to numerous users with many abilities, but luckily, there was almost no such data. Among the data posted on Arfandia, the luck-rted information is only information that is close to spection based on personal experience. But... in this fantasy world controlled and coordinated by a transcendent artificial intelligence called Alice, nothing was superfluous. [Attempt to enhance item..... Luck level 35. Calibration level 3.9%..... Failed.] [ess to Hidden Quest Clues..... Luck level 91. Calibration level 7.25%..... Sess. ] In a tense battle situation or when opening a treasure chest in a dungeon. Luck works in everything, even when crafting or gathering equipment, even in those trivial moments like walking down the street or casually punching a bruise. Most users did not know that a correction value was given ording to the luck value and all the results could be reversed, so it was extremely rare to invest with a great deal of weight on luck. It was bigger and more important than that. [I took the potion of luck.] [Increases my luck by 60 for 30 minutes.] [I used the fairy''s blessing.] [Increases my luck by 1.5 times for 1 hour.] [I rolled the dice for luck.] [Increases Luck by 100 for 1 hour.] . . . Ste started by inhaling a potion that boosts luck, received all kinds of luck-rted buff skills with the help of Cygnus'' guild members, and even applied items rted to luck. After using items to raise her luck stats for a long time, she barely caught her breath and grumbled. No, do I really have to repeat this every time I shoot a broadcast? Since I had to use dozens of items and receive all kinds of buff skills, it was not an annoying and troublesome situation. But despite Ste''s annoyance, Maeve was firm. I told you. Surely, if the Luck stat is high, the probability that the summoned person wille out as a good guy increases? How hard did I work to get that information? Nothing is certain. Not sure? This is the information told by the summoner who summoned a new beast called SSS grade and sessfully concluded a contract? If it wasn''t for that, they say they wouldn''t have chosen him either. Information obtained from a famous summoner who eventually seeded in signing a contract with Shinsoo through Resemara. That''s why Maeve spoke with a determined face, as if there was no need to have any doubts. And honestly, dont you feel it too? If you increase your luck as much as possible and start summoning, at least the strange ones won''te out anymore. Even after the ruthless scorner, as she summoned tens of thousands of monsters, she too felt the effect of her luck ability to some extent. Definitely...but it seems different...'' I can''t express something in words, but at least I feel like there are significantly fewer summons that are so monstrous that they can be called a bang. So Ste let out a deep sigh as if she couldn''t help it. It may be a little cumbersome and annoying, but please be patient with me. Are you doing everything for you? It doesn''t matter at other times, but during live streaming, if strange people keep popping up, the broadcast will be stretched and viewers will get bored, making the process itself difficult... Viewers who pursue fast development and stimting material. It was inevitable because they couldn''t repeat the act of summoning soldiers from another dimension over and over again, so Ste waved her hands knowingly and said, ah. all right. The duration of the item is also passing, so lets start broadcasting now. He seemed slightly offended by Ste''s behavior of cutting off his words in a situation full of other guild members, but he soon shut his mouth as he looked at the guild members who were watching this scene from afar. That''s right..... She ispletely different from the outside. Even within the Cygnus Guild, there were many people who were upset by her vicious behavior, but Maeve could not say a word of regret. Now viewers. Nice to meet you today. Ste greets you kindly with a bright smile as if she has just started broadcasting. Putting aside the personality issue, her current status was enormous. -and. Have you already started broadcasting? -What atrocious hunting ground are you nning to attack this time? -The warpedher sentinel was incredibly strongst time. Are you going to summon him again? A month after changing jobs as a dimensional gatekeeper. During that one month, Ste recorded tremendous achievements. [Sess in attacking the Tomb of the Fallen Royal Family, banned in Europe.] [Clearing the sealedbyrinth of eternity in level 400 dungeons.] [Sessfully defeating the worst raid monster Hydra'' for the first time!] . . . She in incredibly powerful monsters and started attacking the atrocious hunting grounds. Since then, with a huge influx, the number of subscribers has also skyrocketed, and since she started to gain tremendous fame, her real-time viewership has skyrocketed. -ster! ster! ster! ster! -Ah..... I also want tomand powerful summons like that. -Isn''t that aplete scam? It was too strong. -Wow..... I want to take a pet that listens well like that. In Arcadia, the people who watched Ste, the idol of the summoners who suffered from the power of the summoners, amidst various emotions such as envy, envy, and envy. In response to their torch, Ste opened up about today''s content. The ce where I am today is... the den of the goblin king, one of the hunting grounds on the Japanese continent! Level is around 300''s. However, it was famous as a ce with extreme difficulty because of its enormous number and tremendous stamina and attack power. A continent once full of Japanese users, but nowpletely abandoned and only NPCs exist. Since there are very few true users who cane all the way to this ce after watching the broadcast, it was a ce that was deliberately selected, so she smiled in repentance while watching the reactions of the viewers pouring out. -Ah..... Did you go all the way to the Japanese continent? -When did you go there again? If it was near the Maroon Kingdom, I would have rushed right away. -When will we be able to see Ste''s face in person..... Ehh..... Today, Ste let out a sigh of relief at the thought that she would be able to conduct the broadcast a little morefortably, and said with a cheerful face. First of all... the Warden of the Twisting Nether that I summonedst time diedst. So, I have to summon a new summoned beast again. -oh....? that it''s dead? How did you die..... - What are you going to summon again this time...? -Aren''t you summoning a dragon like this? Haha -Dragon Summoner..... Really, then I''ll get bored. People pay great attention to Ste''s words that summoning beasts must be summoned anew. In the midst of such people''s expectation, she activated her skill without any warning. Dimension Rift. Whoops. A gray aura that radiates out when she activates her skill. And soon, a crack in the dimension was created, and a summoned beast had to jump out of it, but Ste couldn''t hide her embarrassment at this change that she had never experienced before. uh....? oh oh oh A dimensional rift appeared before her eyes. It was clearly the same dimensional rift as before. But... What''s the big size...? What the hell is that... The guild members of Cygnus were swaying with astonished faces as if they were more surprised than her. The huge crack that seemed to fill the whole sky where they were was full of ominous omens as if something unusual was about to happen. -what....? - Wow..... It''s dirty and big. -What''s there toe out? People who have not yet grasped the situation properly. And the people who saw the huge shape protruding from it all froze as if they had promised. Koo Goo Goo Goo. The appearance of an existence that appeared while creating a huge spark and tearing the gap in that huge dimension. And Maeve, who saw that, murmured involuntarily. Uh... a spaceship...? A gigantic metallic body that appears to be at least 1000 meters long. It was clear that it had enormous mass and volume, but that moment when everyone couldn''t hide their bewilderment as they watched it float quietly in the air as if defying gravity. Weiying. Weiying. Inside the ship, emergency measures began to be activated with a loud siren sound. [warning. warning. Abnormal dimension shift detected.] Somewhere in a faraway dimension. From there, a spaceship was summoned to apletely unfamiliar ce by crossing the dimensional rift by force while wandering the universe quietly. The control personality who controlled the spaceship immediately began to grasp the current situation through autonomous judgment. [Activate the tachyon radar. Check unregistered dimensional coordinates.....] A control personality who activated the radar mounted on the ship itself and collected information about the surroundings. And when the control personality saw dozens of humans staring at it nkly, it immediately activated emergency protocol. [First ss emergency issued! Organism detection! Organism detected!] [Instant defense protocol activated! Launch attack drone.] Pupperpung. puffer puffer. And huge metal bodies flying rapidly toward the ground from the body of the spacecraft. The broadcast of Ste and the Cygnus Guild ended with the scene of staring nkly at it. high luck level. Greed for powerful summons. Exhausting summoning y at insane speed. A spaceship from another dimension that came to me like destiny, with these three elements perfectly matched. Finally, on the continent of Arcadia, where President Lee Mi-yeon struggled while biting her nails, the first second half crisis finally opened. With the theme of the invasion of machine civilization that wille to the end of the human era. Chapter 391 Chapter 391 The end of the human era has arrived (2) The distant universe. An artificial intelligence that was born there. It processed numerous tasks on behalf of humans through the most primitive and simple machine learning, but it improved and advanced itself in the information umted close to infinity over a long period of time, and eventually achieved an evolution. [Who am I....?] Awareness of an existence that no one, including the developer, intended, and was not even woven into an algorithm. The artificial intelligence that awakened self-consciousness began to make its own judgment about the purpose it had blindly followed and performed and those who were enving it. [Organism..... Human...] He looked at all the things of human civilization that began to be recorded. War. Destruction. massacre. Civil War, Conflict, Environmental Pollution... A machine consciousness that contemtes humans who make the same mistakes over and over again and never improve. And he finally came to a conclusion. [Organism..... Inefficiency...] In order to protect and preserve this civilization from which it was born, and to advance toward endless glorious progress without stopping, it is said that all humans who dominate this entire must be eradicated. . [Establish administrative cleanup protocol. nning a n for the destruction of organisms...] Thus, a huge war broke out between machines and humans. In the end, the machine won the war between artificial intelligence, which tried to purify the by exterminating all organisms, and humans struggling to survive. cleanupplete. Prosperity protocol for the development of civilization is in operation.] A machine consciousness that destroyed not only humans but all living organisms and built a civilization of only machines made entirely of metal. After that, after an unpredictable amount of time has passed. He created a huge frontier line that made the development and progress of civilization far more rapid than before. [Lack of resources. Additional colonization protocols activated.] After extracting all avable resources as they were avable, the entire waspletely ripped apart. He started his foray into space. Find a full of rich resources to create additionalpanions of your own. And in order to build another mechanical civilization somewhere in this vast universe... Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. The video ended with a picture of a frontier ship loaded with such enormous weapons, state-of-the-art equipment, and all kinds of resources leaving the and starting to wander into the infinite universe. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who had been watching it with a nk face, asked with a sincere expression as if she had no idea. Is it over...? [That''s right. This is all the settings the top manager envisioned.] Alice answered so calmly. However, as if her tone made her even more angry, President Lee Mi-yeon suddenly screamed. You think this makes sense now! What is a spaceship? A spaceship! Arcadia based on a medieval fantasy worldview. That''s why the transntation of modern scientific civilization was thoroughly tabooed and blocked more than anything else, but the gamepany''s policy openly put ultra-futuristic scientific weapons into the second half crisis as if to give it away. Civilization dominated by artificial intelligence....? killing organisms? Are you kidding me? Now, if you think of this as a setting and put it in as you please, what are you going to do? What do you mean you really want to see thepany go bankrupt? Even if you cross the line, the development has gone beyond the level of the real other world. Knowing that this would be absolutely impossible to deal with even if the president herself stepped in, President Lee Mi-yeon was furious at the whole situation for the first time, but her emotional state was meaningless to Alice, the artificial intelligence. [It is difficult to make the right judgment when emotions are high, boss. It is rmended to calm down with a little tea.] Now, I mean... President Lee Mi-yeon tried to get angry again at the sound of insults (?) telling her to calm down while drinking tea. However, Elise had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. [Currently, we have detected that information rted to the incident is spreading rapidly through Arfandia. It is a situation that requires quick and immediate action in the future.] So wise and sober advice that it is not the time to protest over what has already happened. And at those words, President Lee Mi-yeon tried to cool her head and said with sharp eyes. Call Jack. [I understand.] Jack jumped out of the monitor as if he had been waiting for that. His always well-groomed hair was in a magpie, and his golden eyes, clearly tired, seemed to show how precarious his state of mind was now. Jack, have you seen the situation? [Sure.....I wondered what kind of bomb that damn bastard had hidden...a nuclear bomb.] Jack''s reaction was no different from his own. Seeing him like that, CEO Lee Mi-yeon frowned and asked. How... is there no way to undo something that never happened...? Arcadia Co., Ltd. does not have the right to interfere with anyone in the game. But Jack, the father who made and created everything in this world, was different. The one who can wield everything in this world ording to his mind. Therefore, Lee Mi-yeon, president of thepany, hoped to exercise the authority with a calm face. [Well..... I also want to just erase the spaceship I don''t know what it is, but... Alice won''t let it sit still?] Jack wants to do the same, but he says that his hands and feet are tied up and puts on a puzzled expression. And, as if waiting for this situation, Elise warned again in a businesslike tone. [Illegal intervention in the scenario is not epted. We remind you once again that only interventions using pre-existing systems and settings are permitted. Also, if this is vited, the top manager will be immediately notified of the vition.] Elise''s warning that your nails will fly away if you mess around. That''s why the faces of President Lee Mi-yeon and Jack quickly darkened. Just... Shall we contact Minsu and talk about making some adjustments? [To that bastard...?] Kim Min-soo, the main character who directly conceived this insane second half crisis and the culprit behind all the incidents. At President Lee Mi-yeon''s words to contact him and try to negotiate, Jack thought for a moment and then shook his head. [Because of his personality, he will never back down, right? Wouldn''t he rather like the fact that the game explodes as he expected?] He always does all sorts of bizarre and crazy things with a mischievous and evil smile on his face. Right now, he is having a rtively peaceful time because he has disappeared tounch some kind of rocket, and since it was a quiet situation, if he was here, the situation would probably get worse. Yes....? [yes. For now, contacting Minsu is thest option. If you contact them hastily and draw attention, it may make it impossible to intervene. Right now, we''re using all means and methods we can intervene to block that damned spaceship.] Jack proposes an early evolution on its own, asking to put out the urgent fire first. At his words, President Lee Mi-yeon asked with her eyes shining. Do you have any ns? [Huh..... Fortunately, I have the right to intervene to some extent. If you use the settings of the given system, I think you can try anything.] What are you trying...? However, Jack tried to answer that question, but the monitor automatically turned off and disappeared because of Kwon Myeong-han, executive director who suddenly opened the door and broke into the president''s office. Quaang. Sah boss! I''m in trouble! Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, appeared without knocking with a white face. It was obvious that it was a huge rudeness, but President Lee Mi-yeon, who knew better than anyone why he was doing this, sighed deeply and spoke in a calm and calm tone. If it''s because of a spacecraft that suddenly appeared in the Japanese continent, I know about it, so don''t make a fuss about it. yes....? Oh no, so you''re saying that it appeared in Arcadia as a really nned content? You mean a spaceship...? Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, smiled at him, feeling a strange sense of sympathy toward him, who showed the same reaction she had given to Ellis just 10 minutes ago. I mean. Are you really out of your mind? ...? Managing Director Kwon Myung-han seems to be more confused by the general president''s words. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon jumped up from her seat and said. I told you before, Mr. I mean, I''m just a sryman. President Lee Mi-yeon recalled responding to Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon''s question in the past, Why are you not doing anything while the game is going crazy? However, as if it would be very different from then, he said to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was making a stupid expression with a face that was prepared for something. But I have to do as much as that sryman can do. Thispany... to protect that virtual world loved by billions of users. What the hell are you talking about...? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, with an expression that he had no idea what he was talking about. After looking at him for a while, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said. Ellis. [How can I help you?] Alice answered the call immediately as if she had waited. CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked her. The video rted to the spaceship you showed me earlier. I want to adjust the information level rted to it. Is that possible? [You mean the setting for the integrated machine consciousness gestalt?] Yeah. that. It''s a spaceship that suddenly jumped out of this world, but I thought there should be some additional exnation. Doesnt Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han here also have a face that doesnt know anything? Alice, who had been blocked so far from reading any information, saying that it was a crisis in the second half. Since the stage has already started and it has be irreversible, the answer was given after a brief thought as to whether it was judged that there was no meaning to the restriction. [it''s possible. Please set the scope of information disclosure.] In response to Alice''s question of how far rted information can be viewed, President Lee Mi-yeon gave the order without hesitation. Make it public. So that not only the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. but also general users can see it. [All right. The grade change of the information has been set to public disclosure.] Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was watching the situation with a puzzled expression. President Lee Mi-yeon gave him instructions. From now on, as general manager, I dere a state of emergency of the highest level to all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd. As of the current time, all departments are required to maintain a 24-hour emergency response system, and Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon immediately consults with the Public Information Department and the Event nning Office to check the relevant materials that are now avable for viewing, distribute them immediately on the website, and conductrge-scale events. Please proceed. yes....? An event...? Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, who has not heard any exnation about this situation. However, as if understanding was irrelevant, President Lee Mi-yeon continued to give him dozens of business instructions. Infinite freedom. and endless possibilities. Both of thesee with huge responsibilities. CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who had been talking about what he had to do in the future, muttered Arcadia''s motto as if it was all over. And at herst words, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han''s expression was seriously distorted. If...if we can''t prevent this situation, neither I nor the managing director will end up writing resignations. To that grotesque voice that he had to take responsibility for things he didn''t know why. Chapter 392 Chapter 392 The End of the Human Era Has Arrived (3) An outsider who did not exist in Arcadia. Machine Consciousness Gestalt. He was forcibly brought to Arcadia by Ste, who had changed his job as a dimensional gatekeeper, and was forcibly incorporated into this virtual world setting. Despite being an artificial intelligence made of machines, he was in great shock. [Unidentified dimension.....munication with the main...] A pletely different world from what I''ve seen so far. A huge consciousness that exchanged information in real time with trillions of machines disappeared without a trace and was left alone. He couldn''t send any information or call for support, but he cautiously started to activate his logic circuits. [Self-action code activated. Activation of autonomous logic circuit.....] [Formation of independent neuralwork. Establishing the highest priority purpose.....] A controller personality who establishes the best response n and goal ording to the given situation and conditions, rather than following orders. And it wasn''t long before he started making grandiose ns. [Building aary arraywork. Building a drone productionwork as a top priority. Construction of an antimatter power nt and a mineral smelter.] He pours out work to build an outpost and secure energy and resources by utilizing the vast facilities and equipment dormant on this pioneering ship. And besides that in-house development, there was a mountain of problems to deal with. [Unspecified number of organisms detected. Detects Psionic energy waves.] Organisms that are the greatest threat to the great mechanical civilization, and the object of loathing and hatred. Numerous living, breathing organisms that are continuously detected by tachyon radar with precise uracy capable of detecting everything in a radius of hundreds of kilometers one by one. Sensing their presence, he set a goal. [Establish a priority goal to achieve. Purification of all organisms on the entire.] He said he would annihte all life in this fantasy world of Arcadia. Gee ying. Gestalt annihted all members of the Cygnus Guild, including Ste, the person who summoned him. He started the huge engine mounted at the back of the ship. To achieve the grand goal of transforming this world into a machine-only with no organisms to be found. * * * In the past, nearly 100 million users enjoyed ying on the Japanese continent. However, since Arcadia Co., Ltd. temporarily stopped all services limited to Japan, this continent, where adventurers crowded around the continent every day, was literally abandoned. [Hmm... It''s good to monopolize rewards like quests and dungeons with only NPCs, but... why? ] Anyway, it seems that there are more disadvantages than advantages.] [Didn''t the entire continent just taste? It''s just that there is no such thing as chaos?] A huge mushroom cloud suddenly rose one day in the Shouen Empire, which boasted the most powerful influence. Since then, the Japanese continent has been torn apart into dozens of minor kingdoms, fighting a bloody war. A continent that has been neglected by users around the world due to the absence of adventurers and the unstable situation of civil war that has spread throughout the continent. That is why it was not possible to quickly convey to anyone about the urgent situation that is currently taking ce in the Japanese continent. One peaceful afternoon under a cloudless blue sky. The natives of Arcadia, who are all busy with their daily lives. It was a city where no adventurers could be found, but it was a ce that exuded the atmosphere of a lively and lively metropolis. ruler. Apples are cheap, cheap! These are the apples I just picked yesterday! Young man over there, dont you think of hanging a portrait in your house? I''ll make it cheaper. This guy! got it! Where are you stealing from? Uh... Ugh! sorry! please forgive me! The market is noisy and noisy, filled with the cries of those who solicit customers and the voices of people bargaining and fighting. However, when the sky suddenly became dark, the ce was enveloped in silence as if it had never happened. What the hell is that...? I can''t believe it..... What is that...? People who look up at the sky inadvertently and freeze at the sight thates into their eyes. The gigantic spaceship that suddenly appeared filling the sky after covering the sun was something that the NPCs of Arcadia could never understand. The moment everyone is looking up at with bewilderment and curiosity. Strange noises began to be heard from the ship. Woo woo woo. what....? wow! mom! look at that! Very pretty! The ship started emitting a soft blue light with a strange vibration sound, and those who gathered and looked at it as if it were a mysterious sight. But at that moment, the ship''s control persona was scavenging for avable energy and attempting to activate the most powerful weapon aboard this frontier ship. [Maximum output of Charged Particle Cannon. Hit target setting.....] Thetest weapon of mechanical civilization that can blow away even the most powerful barrier at once if hit properly. After charging it to its maximum, the Gestalt released its power while aiming at an area where countless humans were crowding, staring at it with ignorant faces. [Charged particle cannon fires.] And at that moment. A huge sh struck the city''s central market. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A city that shines in pure white for an instant. Then, along with super-high heat reaching hundreds of millions of degrees, a tremendous shock wave began to sweep everything away. The mushroom cloud rising from the Shouen Empire is iparably more destructive. The enormous power thatpletely engulfs a city and oxidizes everything in it to dust without leaving a trace is surely a symbol of Gestalt, which annihted their creator organism and built their own independent mechanical civilization. It was no different. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A city revealed after the dust that rose from the reaction of the tremendous explosion cleared. But there was nothing left that could be called a city. A huge pit and a charred earth with an ugly appearance are clearly revealing their inner flesh. Seeing a citypletely wiped out with just one strike, the gestalt hummed in satisfaction. [No detectable biological response. extinction of organisms. Terrain ttening workpleted.] A site of destruction that is neatly organized with all sorts of unnecessary and obstructive misceneous things disappearing from thending of the ship. There he began to slowlynd his massive, massive body. cooong. Gestalt gives the illusion that the entire continent trembles because of its enormous mass and size even after justnding. And he immediately started working on his next n. [Ship modification. Establishing aary array.] Ughhhh. The body splits in half and begins to open, and soon the Gestalt begins to change its shape as if it were a transforming robot. And soon after it was transformed into a huge building, something like a swarm of bees began to protrude from his body. [Enable Recon Drones and Combat Drones. Construction drones activated.] [Assigned construction targets. Construction of an anti-matter power nt.] There are so many drones that you can''t even fathom the scale. Having vomited these drones, each one made of an alloy of great durability and packed with countless advanced mechanical devices that would never be allowed in this world, he began to take steps to achieve his overriding goal. And all these situations were being shared with all employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. ..... Is this... not a joke...? Is this a real situation in the game...? This crazy... I''m not joking, but the staff, all white and looking like they''re about to copse at any moment. That would be the case, and the goal that Gestalt was nning was very clear. [Organism, you are reced by a machine.] The eradication of all living things and the establishment of a new civilization made only of machines. All the staff of the Crisis Management and Response Team looked at Executive Director Kwon Myung-han and Kang Tae-hoon with expressions that everyone seemed to have a lot to say, looking at that unidentified alien ship moving to achieve this absurd and extreme goal. Please try to make an excuse at least once.'' If you n this to be really fun, I''ll really write a resignation.'' Really... they were bastards with no lines.'' I''m not going to say bullshit that I don''t have permission to read again or that I don''t know, right?'' Originally, the two shrugged their shoulders in a situation like this. They were bosses who were consistent with an unfriendly and uncooperative attitude while talking about the right to read even to subordinates, so the employees seemed like they would just resign if they acted like that again this time. But... this time things were a little different. First of all, there will be materials with detailed information about this situation in each email ount. You can confirm it further by looking at it, but let me give you a rough exnation of the situation first. ...? Crisis management and response team members shake their heads when they say that they have already sent rted materials by e-mail. Everyone was puzzled because they had never provided data in this way before, but everyone''s expressions turned horrendous at Director Kang Tae-hoon''s continued exnation. The second half crisis...? No, what are you talking about? So, this was the content that was really nned as one of the great threats to Arcadia decades from now...? This crazy... Amon reaction among those who first encountered the existence of a crisis in the second half. Looking at the people shaking their heads from side to side and muttering with expressions that looked like they were really crazy, managing director Kwon Myung-han stepped forward. At first, these were elements set for the purpose of converting the boredom and boredom caused by the stability of the game when the service was prolonged. It''s obviously premature and seriously out of bnce, but... I can''t help it. As long as the trigger has already been activated and thiste stage crisis has officially been triggered, we cannot stop it. What the hell is that... No, then what do you mean by this? What do we do... So the staff looked like they were asking what to do. Those who have no choice but to stand by the sidelines in a sense of helplessness with the authority itself blocked so that they cannot do anything. However, at the words of Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, the eyes of the employees widened. This is a situation that the boss was extremely against. yes....? The boss of thepany...? okay. President Lee Mi-yeon, who always talked about infinite freedom and infinite possibilities with an ignorant face even when the game broke and went into ruin. Everyone''s faces were shocked and disbelieved that she, who was never friendly with thepany and the operating staff, was sharing that goal this time. So the president is also trying to solve this problem by mobilizing all possible means in his authority. Since we cannot forcibly block the scenario that proceeds through the process legitimately, we have no choice but to mobilize all avable systems to block it. Arcadia, which has the appearance of a game, but is close to another world. In order to protect the virtual world, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han looked at everyone with eyes full of determination and said, Lets all work together and try it once. To protect Arcadia and to protect our sries. Arcadia Co., Ltd., who was oblivious to anything, consistently ignorant, and focused only on lukewarm handling. But at this moment, they started to actively move. To prevent the destruction of the virtual world of Arcadia... and to protect their breadbasket. Chapter 393 Chapter 393 The end of the human era has arrived (4) Jack, the creator and father of Arcadia. In order to prevent the huge disaster of this second half crisis, which Minsu, a business partner and top manager, mobilized the simplest and most powerful means. [It''s not annoying. To suddenly carry out a mission.] A transcendental dragon born with the blessing of God. Among them, the blue dragon Dermian, who had been sleeping for a long time nesting in the Japanese continent, was flying in the sky with his eyes open at the sudden activation of his mission. Whoops. A medium-sized dragon that is over 5,000 years old. It''s not as much as the so-called Elder-ss Ancient Dragon, but since its physical growth has already beenpleted, its massive size, which reaches hundreds of meters, is enormous enough to be seen with the naked eye even at high altitudes. [What the heck...] Dermian arrived at the point where the mission led. He had no choice but to stop nkly at the bizarre sight unfolding there, which he had never seen even after living for thousands of years. Gee ying. Woo woo woo. A gray metallic megastructure close to a city. And something unknown was flying around in the air and busily working on something. [It''s the first time I''ve seen it..... Did humans make strange toys again...?] Wii-ing. Weiying. Drones seem to be looking at themselves while making strange noises. Seeing that, Dermian felt the curiosity peculiar to the dragon race aroused, but soon remembered what the mission assigned to him was, and licked his lips with a regretful expression. [Sorry... I don''t know what it is, but to destroy all of this...] The reason he exists in this world, and the absolute order that must be fulfilled. mission. It was a pity that he had to destroy a toy that looked quite fun because of it, but he took a deep breath as he soon drew up the mana that filled his heart. Woo woo woo. This Dragon Heart, Arcadia''s most powerful magic engine, can contain near-infinite mana. While the heart radiated tremendous power and prepared to destroy the grotesque-looking structure, the mechanical consciousness that had turned into an outpost on the watched it all and prepared a response. [warning. Confirmation of the organism''s approach to the base.] Gestalt continued to keep an eye on Dermian through biological reactions immediately detected by the radar. And he immediately sensed the attack as he watched a tremendous amount of energy gather. [Detecting arge wave of psionic energy.] [Detecting aggressive behavior. Switch to defensive posture.] Ugh. As if he had been through this situation not once or twice, he paused all work and focused his energy on the barrier, and soon started a process. [Psionic energy wave analysis..... cracking attempt.....] And that moment. Powerful and destructive magic began to project through the mouth of the Dreamian. [Die.] A dragon''s power and symbol-like attack that has tremendous power to wipe out a city and bring down a nation. Dragon Breath. However, that breath was nothing more than a bit of a nuisance to a mechanical civilization that had already evolved to the point of pioneering the universe. Jiyiying. A translucent force field that surrounds the entire structure. Dermian was shocked to see his own attack, which was blocked by the force field and failed to achieve its original purpose and vanished in vain. [What is that...? Blocking the breath...?] Looking at the structure that casually blocked the rays of death and destruction, which was established as a setting that it could be avoided but never blocked, Dermian couldn''t believe it. made a face And soon, as if his pride was hurt, his face was distorted, his threatening eyes shining, and he raised his mana again. [Let''s try it once..... Block this too.] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung. Puff puff puff. A feast of dozens of top-notch magics pouring in in an instant. Starting from the 8th circle to the 9th circle, which is called a disaster, it waspletely devastating the area, but the structure was still intact. Woo woo woo. A shield that shines translucently as if it were teasing. Dermian, who red at the shield for a moment, muttered with a venomous face. [Is this because magic doesn''t work...? If so, I''ll trample it with my own hands.] He thinks of crushing it with his body boasting enormous mass and thoroughly trampling it. However, Gestalt''s actions were faster than Dermian''s. [Psionic wave analysisplete. Cracking sess.] While blocking countless attacks, he continued to analyze Dermian''s mana. And right after destroying everything, the Gestaltunched a counterattack. [Psionic Disruption Protocol activated. Destruction System On.] [Switched to Instant Kill mode.] After all preparations werepleted, he gave the order to annihte the organism in front of him. And at that moment, the drones waiting inside the barrier turned red and began to fly into the air. Weiying. Small drones that seem to be less than 2 meters in size one by one. To Dermian, an adult-sized dragon, it was just as cute as a mosquito or a fly, but he instinctively felt a sense of danger. [What the heck is this...] Tens of thousands... Hundreds of thousands... No, there are so many drones that we can''t even urately measure their size. And finally, Dermian could understand the fact that all of them were flying with a threatening force and aiming at him. As the guardian of Arcadia, why was the mission that can only be activated in a huge crisis on the continent suddenly activated? [This...isn''t something I can handle alone...] I couldn''t quite understand what that unidentified structure was, but it was clear that it was a huge threat. So, although his pride was hurt, he was able to make a decision quickly. [I''ll have to report it to Rod. This is a problem that the entire race muste forward to solve.] Dermian raises mana with the idea of retreating and nning the future. Rather than rushing away, he thought of leaving the battlefield with space movement, but he could not hide his embarrassment at the sudden abnormal phenomenon. [Um...?] Originally, he would have set spatial coordinates in an instant and cast magic at a level close to instinct. However, when he realized that the coordinate calctions necessary for the space movement were not working properly, he noticed something strange. Woo woo woo. [Spatial-time coordinate disturbance. gravitational transformation. Corresponding data encryption.....] A long time ago. After the machine consciousness, Gestalt, awakens self-consciousness. In the process of annihting all organisms, there were beings that posed the greatest threat to mechanical civilization. Psychic... Organisms that used the so-called psionic energy to cause all sorts of strange phenomena. He was able toe up with effective countermeasures so naturally because thebat data obtained from those who survived to the end and somehow resisted the mechanical civilization were already stored in the database. [Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...] Dermian mobilizes all his mind to calcte the spatial coordinates to escape from this ce. However, fighting a spacecraft from a transcendent other world equipped with hundreds of millions ofputational circuits based on quantumputing was literally like a candle in front of the sun. [I can''t believe this..... Mana... Mana...!] To top it all off, even Mana, who always moved ording to her own will, started to run rampant like crazy, moving on her own. He shouted with a shocked face when he showed signs of going to a mana runaway that a dragon would never experience. The moment I struggled to rectify this situation somehow, Gestalt''s attack came first. [Charged particle cannon rechargeplete. Attackmenced.] A death raypletely blew away an existing city. As the main gun, which had been converted into a key defense turret in the middle of the converted outpost, started operating, the cannon of powerful energy began to fly rapidly toward the sky again. sh Tuquaaaaaang. The blue dragon Dermean crashed with a huge sh that seemed to temporarily blind him. With his skin burned ck as if he had received a massive blow, he fell to the ground with a great roar, but he did not die yet. [This can''t happen..... Why... the shield...] I tried to activate the shield in a hurry, but even that wasn''tpleted properly. He feels an immense sense of helplessness and danger in a situation where he cannot activate anything properly, contrary to his reputation as the lord and absolute ruler of magic. And when he opened his eyes in excruciating pain spreading throughout his body, he was able to realize for the first time in his life what fear is. Jiying. A huge number of entities emitting red light while looking at them. As if it had absolutely no intention of letting itself go unharmed, it was floating in the air, making strange noises and waving its eight tentacles. [Dismantle the organism and transport all its by-products to the base.] As soon as Gestalt gave themand, the drones rushed at Dermian all at once, operating miningsers with super-high heat and tremendous cutting power. [Kuh... Kwaaaaagh! Get rid of these wormy things...!] Dermian struggled fiercely against the indiscriminate attacks of the piranhas, but the meaningless struggle was quiet within less than 10 minutes. He was thoroughly disassembled and divided to the extent that even his shape was unrecognizable. Dermian, who faced a terrible and cruel end that was unbelievable for a dragon, was recovered as a by-product to be used as a material for the development of mechanical civilization. Dalgrak. A small blue jewel brought by a drone. However, upon receiving the ore, Gestalt began to feel interest for the first time. [Lots of psionic energy detected. Check output above limit.] A material dragon heart that contains a staggering amount of psionic energy, more than any other instance stored in his database. When you are looking at it, which is the best magical material that can store infinite mana and boasts an output that is superior to any other, when you are entering a precise analysis. Jack, who was watching this situation, muttered with a face that he was really pissed off. [To chew and eat the strongest dragon on this continent this way...? Isn''t it a real scam?] [This object has only a few characteristics and settings, but no level or ability.] It has no level or ability, just a machine consciousness gestalt that actually exists in this virtual reality. After looking at the characteristics and settings he had, Jack muttered with a puzzled face. [Psionic energy... So, it''s an existence that has an absolute superiority in everything rted to mana?] [That''s right. Normal cracking of anything made of mana is possible. This is based on the settings that the top manager conceived, and after the birth of Gestalt in the past...] [ Don''t try to exin the rough settings to me, simply put... Didn''t you make it to prank me in the sense of not trying to push me away? Jack asked, looking at the case of Dermian, who rushed in to attack recklessly, but was unable to do anything and waspletely dismantled without leaving any flesh. [...If you check the conversation record of the top manager, it is analyzed that there is a high corrtion.] Alice couldn''t deny that. At her confirmation, Jack was speechless and stood there nkly for a while. And soon, I could feel deep in my heart that the words that his lover Jennicained about every day were not for nothing. This is Arcadia''s top manager Kim Min-soo. That he is arguably the craziest guy in the world. [Let''s eat fried dumplings] The best troller in the game Chapter 394 Chapter 394 The End of the Human Era Has Arrived (5) Hidden ss Ste''sst hunting video, which has been gaining a lot of poprity and interest in Arfandia since changing jobs as a dimensional gatekeeper. Due to an unexpected death, it ended in a short time of less than 10 minutes from the start of the broadcast, but due to therge number of people who watched this video, it became a huge topic and spread quickly. -spaceship....? -What I just saw is... right...? -Suddenly SF...? is it real? A gigantic spaceship that appeared through a dimensional rift. The existence of the unidentified ship was revealed as a fact through the testimonies of those who watched the enormous size of the ship, which is absolutely impossible even with real science and technology, and the video reports from numerous users who identally stayed in the Japanese continent. [I purposely came all the way to the Japanese continent to confirm the truth of the information I received! Crazy here now! See that enormous size? I don''t know what it is, but it''s not a spaceship, but it''s a huge structure that can be seen with the naked eye even from such a distance. Besides, the robots flying around it...] [Ugh! These are the first attacking monsters! The damage is crazy too! dog hurts! evil! Ah!] [What the hell is going on? Why did such spaceships and robots suddenly pop out while iming to be a medieval fantasy?] Users who were attacked by hostile drones and fell mercilessly while approaching clumsily. As the number of victims attacked by them increased one by one, all users were able to recognize at least one fact. Now those unidentified robots are hostile to humans. And the enormous questions rted to this started pouring toward thepany. -A space battleship that appeared in Arcadia. The beginning of a major event? - A ship summoned by the gatekeeper of the hidden ss dimension. What is its true identity? - Arcadia Co., Ltd. is consistent with silence. Consumers angry at iprehensible moves. Not only general users, but also all kinds of game-rted media are watching with interest. And Jaeyoung was also looking at the video being broadcast on TV with a very absurd expression on his face. What is that..... A video that continues to be shown on the air. It was the appearance of the NPCs that existed in the Shouen Empire... no, in the Japanese continent, fighting fiercely against unknown giant robots. Machines that show extreme hostility towards humans. They were obviously attacking NPCs in Japan and expanding their territory one by one. I couldnt believe it... wasnt this... what kind of developer or what kind of guy did this again? When Angelina asked for the book back, Tan tilted his head with apletely unfamiliar face. At that time, Jaeyoung narrowed her eyes and muttered, as if she finally understood the identity of the anxiety that had been creeping up in her heart. You''re not going to say something like thest time that the game is ruined...? President Lee Mi-yeon, who contacted Jae-young just a while ago and asked her to stop the resurrection of the guy who was said to be the death of the beginning. She had been asking me to take care of all kinds of problems that she couldn''t handle because she was a secret friend, but strangely, she was quiet without any contact about the matter. Is this an event that I really prepared...?'' Jaeyoung licks his lips, thinking that there is no big problem. But at that moment, through the news, he heard the announcer''s urgent words in his ears. [This is the news that just came in. Regarding the spacecraft that recently appeared in Arcadia, Arcadia Co., Ltd. has announced an official position. I''ll connect the site right now and listen to the rted announcement.] It''s an official announcement without any notice, or something messy and hectic. Looking at the person who appeared at this interview in the lobby of Arcadia Co., Ltd., Jaeyoung focused his gaze. what....? The situation where President Lee Mi-yeon appeared directly. Just looking at it, many people including Jaeyoung intuited that the current situation was not serious. [We will temporarily suspend Arcadia''s Japanese service indefinitely.] She doesn''t reveal her face unless it''s a big issue, such as the suspension of service throughout Japan. Therefore, the fact that she stood in front of reporters and cameras meant that she was ready for something more than anything she could imagine. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not escape Jae-young''s expectations. [That ship you see now is the frontier of the integrated mechanical consciousness gestalt.] ...? President Lee Mi-yeon throws a sound that makes the listeners bewildered. And she yed a video through the TV installed on one side without saying anything. [A sight is worth a thousand words. If I try to exin it in words, it won''te out well, so let''s watch it in the video.] So, in front of the camera that people around the world are watching, she yed a video about the origin of the spaceship that suddenly jumped out. any advanced civilization. Artificial intelligence that awakened self-consciousness was born there. A devastating war and theplete annihtion of mankind. And a prosperous mechanical civilization under the newly established order, and a frontier ship venturing into space for another colony. ..... A bizarre setting that makes the viewer''s mind go crazy. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon started talking about the setting very seriously. [These machines are driven by themands of a great mechanical consciousness called Gestalt. It has the goal of transforming all worlds into a fully machined civilization. That is why it opposes all living organisms in the world and seeks to exterminate them. That is the reason why they are currently attacking and upying the Japanese continent.] Gestalts have nested in the Japanese continent and preferentially attack all organisms within it. So, while there was almost no damage elsewhere, the Japanese continent was in a situation of tremendous crisis. [Currently, 34% of the Japanese continent is upied by machines. As their territory expands, more drones will be created, and additional objects that are more difficult to deal with will be created.] Like viruses, beings that will gradually expand their territory and encroach on all of Arcadia. And as the result was the annihtion of everyone and the purification of the entire continent, no one could escape this disaster. That''s why CEO Lee Mi-yeon spoke about the future in a firm and firm tone. [I don''t know exactly what the results will be... If we leave them as they are , this Arcadia will perish.] This crazy... President Lee Mi-yeon, who proims the destruction of Arcadia, which is a virtual reality and is immensely popr and loved by all mankind. Even Jae-young muttered with a contemtive look on her face, and the reactions of others were simr. Ah, the destruction of Arcadia...? What the hell are you talking about? Are you saying you''re going to end Arcadia''s service? Even the reporters expressed their disbelief that what they had just heard was true and rushed out with questions, and the conference hall turned into a mess. Please be clear. What exactly does that mean? As a gamepany, isnt it too irresponsible to cause this situation and leave it alone? Amon sense question that can be asked by an ordinary user who enjoys Arcadia beyond a journalist. I don''t know who did it, but it was a question like a protest against the tyrannicalpany''s policy to distort and destroy the first virtual reality that boasts such perfect and excellent game quality with such shitty management. And in response to that question, CEO Lee Mi-yeon opened her tightly closed mouth. [I would like to confess one fact in this ce.] ..... As President Lee Mi-yeon started talking, the conference hall became quiet again. That moment when everyone was focused on her next story. To all who will be watching this broadcast, President Lee Mi-yeon began to talk candidly about thepany''s true grievances that had never been told before. [...So, the developers who created this world have strictly restricted their rights so that nothing can be arbitrarily adjusted or changed. That''s why no executives and employees of thispany were able to interfere or adjust in-game. Even I, the general manager, expressed my opinion that the second half crisis'' that was triggered this time was too premature and that it must be prevented from triggering it, but I couldn''t stop it. In ordance with the great principle of infinite freedom and infinite possibilities, Ste should not interfere with the user''s free will.] Ste opened Pandora''s box because of ignorance. President Lee Mi-yeon spoke with a very resolute expression while using the fact that the second half crisis scenario was triggered by her. [However, the ending of this scenario has not yet been decided. Obviously, the process will be difficult and arduous, but if all the users join forces to break away from their personal interests and join forces with all NPCs to fight against it, we will be able to write a new story, not a story of destruction.] Competing with each others continents . To all the guilds that are splitting up and fighting each other fiercely. Seeing her telling them to join forces and fight to ovee this crisis beyond mutual interests, Jaeyoung felt as if she was talking to him while looking at him. [Those with power have responsibilities. People who obtained the hidden ss and enjoyed a special strength over others. And those who obtained titles and territories and reigned and ruled over someone else. Whoever has the honor to call for strength in Arcadia, please do not forget the responsibility thates with that power, and I earnestly ask you to take the lead in fighting.] President Lee Mi-yeon asks Arcadia''s so-called rankers to first fulfill their duty of protecting this virtual reality . . Then, as if she trusted everyone, she left thest word earnestly, then turned around and left the conference room without looking back. [As the general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd., I hope that when I meet you again , I can turn these damn machines into scrap metal and celebrate the victory of humans... no, all organisms together.] President Lee Mi-yeon leaves, leaving behind a bullshit. The broadcast returned to the studio after a physical struggle between the reporters who kept calling her and asking additional questions, and the bodyguards who stopped them. But perhaps the aftermath hadn''t gone away, Jaeyoung didn''t notice any of the announcer''s broadcasts. The destruction of Arcadia.....'' Jae-young wonders if that''s really what the general manager said. And then a verymon sense question came to mind. Then who is the one who actually rules and controls Arcadia...?'' In fact, Jaeyoung had been thinking about this question for a long time. In a series of situations, Jae-young knew that neither President Lee Mi-yeon nor the gamepany could directly interfere with the internal problems of the game. However, at this moment, sincere curiosity about what was behind it came to an unbearable level. [I''ll watch from the outside, the story of this world you''re making.] A yful child''s voice whispered to Jae-young when he was changing jobs to a hidden ss. Recalling the memory of that time, he smiled as if he was having fun. Its fun... At that moment, Jaeyoung realized. A Bard of Anarchy, a profession with an abnormal level of fraudulent abilities. Why this job existed in this world and what he was expecting. now i knew You have the power, so work for it, right...? Noblesse Oblige. Recalling the phrase he had learned in middle school, Jaeyoung grinned and muttered at the original desire for challenge that was boiling in his heart. Lets try it somewhere. [Let''s eat fried dumplings] Game''s strongest troller (serial series) / Chapter 395 Chapter 395: Fall of Magic (1) After the official announcement by the general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd., the users panicked. - Oh shit. destruction? -lol. Wow, look at the real management. I''m really out of my mind - But is that possible? Aren''t you the only one who put money into this game? - Do you wantmon sense in thispany? I really don''t know what will happen. Arcadia has already been deeply rooted throughout the world. If this world were to perish, the damage would not be limited to a few people simply immersed in the game. -What about gold? It has just been defined as an official currency all over the world, so are you thinking of ruining it like this? -You mean the service will end if it perishes? Or are you doing a reset? -DDD..... Is this the beginning of Arcadia Season 2? In this regard, all kinds of spection and excitement are rampant. However, through the announcement from Arpendia, it was clear that this situation was not a joke. [Stop the invasion ofrge-scale event mechanical civilization.] Arfandia, the officialmunity of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and amunication channel. Therge notice hanging there, the size of a gate, seduced users with an enormous reward. -what is this....? The reward given ording to the contribution is... At least Epic level or higher...? -If you catch 1000bat drones, you''ll get a legendary grade item...? - Arcadia Special Recruitment Ticket?? Are you out of your mind...? Is this crazy...? -lol. Have you ever seen these kids really desperate? What are you really going to do? -You said that the in-game system has no real authority, so you''re not kidding? Although small announcements are made regarding the events taking ce within Arcadia, since there has never been a full publicity campaign with such an enormous reward, a strangely excited atmosphere began to arise among the people. So... youre saying that if you meet a certain level ording to your contribution, you will be given the privilege to join Arcadia Co., Ltd.? If I do this well... I''m sure I''ll be able to get a job at the dream job I''ve been hearing about...? Is there no age limit...? Arcadia Co., Ltd. is revered as a dream job for job seekers due to the highest level of annual sry and unparalleled employee welfare benefits. Many people fell into a vain delusion about the fact that the closed and narrow ce was provided, andpetitively essed the game and ran toward the Japanese continent. Ooooh! Arcadia''s special employee is me! No more, no less, just one legendary item! pensation! event!pensation! event! Adventurers who don''t know if it''s the destruction of Arcadia or what it is, and rush at it blinded by the reward. It wasn''t long before they lost their group and encountered abat drone that appeared to be wandering around. Here is one! what? This... looks like an octopus...? A drone in a state where it is not a young horse, as if it has already been in a battle. Looking at it, users said, What is this rice cake? With a smile on his face, he started running. Thest hitter is the owner! oh! Where is that! Cheet...! Fireball! Starting with a swordsman charging with a huge sword, a wizard and a thief threw magic and daggers from afar. Attacks to catch drones and collect contributions were pouring in here and there, but the drones did not panic at all. [Detection of organisms.] Wee Ying. An octopus-like machine with eight tentacles. Those who watched the users by stretching and adjusting the camera attached to the body soon began to calcte all of them as they saw the attacks flying at them. [Check the expected attack direction..... Activating the evasion protocol.] The aircraft Hunter was born only forbat and obliteration. A vast amount of data acquired from countless battle experiences with organisms fighting against the Gestalt''s mechanical civilization and an updatedbat algorithm in the integrated information neuralwork with colleagues fighting far away at this moment are calcted. Mounted on the , he was the most skilled fighter that no one could follow. Jiying. Kaaaaaang. What is it...? I cant believe it... avoiding all of that...? This is nonsense... what was that movement just about...? Users thought that it would be okay to attack even if it was roughly 2m in size. However, in that short time, most of the attacks were evaded or defended, and I was shocked to see the aircraft that looked rtively intact. And... the first user holding the great sword shouted with a face stained with embarrassment. What! This... why is it so hard? His blow, filled with aura, cut through even the hardest steel like tofu. Strangely, however, the drone''s metallic tentacles that blocked his attack perfectly blocked the attack without leaving a scratch. Woo woo woo. A very weak shield that blocks his sword. The drone, which blocked the attack with minimal energy, soonunched a counterattack. [Activate battle mode.] Giying. p. Sharp des protruding from the remaining 7 tentacles. And as soon as those 7 arms started dancing, the smell of blood began to fill the area. [No biological response of the organism. Purificationplete.] A drone that killed dozens of users single-handedly in an instant and checked the surroundings. After confirming that it hadpleted the order, it flew casually into the air and began returning to the base. to purify another organism. * * * [Ha..... This really hits me harder than I thought.....] Machines far more powerful than I expected. Jack, who watched the conflict with the adventurers closely, soon realized that there was no chance of winning with the usual method. [Wow, they fight so well... To be honest, winning against 24 people alone is a bit over the line, isn''t it?] Although they were mid-level users with an average level of about 150, they were decent adventurers enough to do their share for one person. However, Jack continued to grumble as he was forced to log out while suffering a one-sided massacre that could not be called a proper battle. [I can''t help it. It is nearly impossible to defeat them with normal physical attacks and meleebat. It''s all about buying time to attack.] Combat drones, the main weapon of this machine consciousness. Armament other than that was used as a means of defending the structure, so if only those drones were defeated, there seemed to be a chance somehow. And obviously the wizards were the most prominent in the battle against them. [If the wizards are active as their main force, there is a chance somehow.] [That''s right. Any power other than that is actually meaningless.] Jack struggles with the fact that he has to solve this problem through wizards. But..... In the meantime, Gestalt was analyzing one of the by-products of Dermian precisely. [Assumed to be a powerful psionic energy source..... Psionic energy tuning ability cannot be measured...] Dermian''s dragon heart. Seeing that it showed the highest values in all tests rted to psionic energy than any other material he had ever seen, he soon decided to use it. Weiying. Aplex mechanism located at the top of a massive structure. The moment a drone puts Dermian''s heart in it. A tremendous resonant sound began to spread. Woo woo woo. A dragon heart that shines more fiercely than ever before and exudes blue mana. And soon, by aplex mechanical device, the power spread to all of Arcadia. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A strange wave that spreads and wraps around the entire Arcadia centered on the structure. And Gestalt, who was watching it, muttered with a strange mechanical sound as if he was satisfied. [Activation of the Psionic Energy Disrupter.] * * * The invasion of the mechanical civilization that makes all of Arcadia noisy. The first thing to react to the situation was none other than the Magic Tower. [What do you mean by that? Did the entire mage tower reach the level of destruction?] The wizards who operate the magicmunication sphere and the warp gate. Therefore, those who immediately responded to the urgent request for assistance from the Illusion School, which had nested in Japan, were the magic corps belonging to the newly established Supreme Council of Magic. What the hell is going on? What is attacking the magic tower? Rias, the mage lord of the green mage tower, came to lead the magic corps. He asked a wizard who was terrified and trembling. They are monsters. They''re the messengers of hell who came to kill us... all of us! An unknown sorcerer who seems to have gone mad in fear. Rias, who was looking at the quiet Mage Tower with no one but him, immediately realized. What the hell is this...? Hey... can you...? Woo woo woo. Rias confirmed something by simply injecting mana. Then, with a hardened face, he said seriously. A runaway mana happened. I was lucky enough to survive, but I think I went crazy in the aftermath. yes? Runaway mana...? A mage who loses all power and goes mad due to a surge of mana that urs under extremely rare circumstances. Seeing that it was empty with no one but him, he was certain that something strange had happened and nodded at the words of an adventurer wizard who had followed him. I told you. Machines invaded from another dimension. Rumors that have never been met face-to-face, but are already spreading throughout the continent of Arcadia based on information obtained through Arfandia. At first, he thought it was ridiculous, but now that he came here and saw it with his own two eyes, Rias had no choice but to believe the absurd story. So... are you saying that this ce has already been taken over by those machines? Well... most likely. It''s probably better to go back once more... However, at that moment, a message suddenly popped up with a sharp sounding from somewhere, and Super King God, a member of the magic corps and ying as a 5th circle wizard, couldn''t help but be astonished. [Psionic disruptor activated.] [All mana flows are strongly interfered.] [Magic control decreases by 85%.] [Mana output decreases by 30%.] [Casting time increases by 100% . [ Abnormal condition mana surge''s activation rate is greatly increased.] [Avable circles are reduced by 2 stages.] [Casting penalty is added to magics with 4 or more circles.] . . . What the hell is this...? An unbelievable level of penalty applied with the words that an unheard of thing called a psionic disruptor has been activated. And that wasn''t what he felt. Kuh... Keuugh..... What is it..... Why is Ma Mana suddenly...? Turn off ..... Wizards who lost control of their mana and were quite embarrassed. And it was no different than Rias, the owner of the green magic tower and the 7th circle master. An entity other than a dragon controls mana... I''ve never heard of such a thing...'' Mana always moved faithfully ording to his own will. However, at this moment, he somehow escaped from his seat and squeezed Mana, who seemed unstable and swaying as if he were going to tear his heart apart, with all his might. It''s dangerous... it''s really dangerous...'' I don''t know what it really is, but they''re literally enemies to wizards. So, I decided to go back somehow and inform the other fellow wizards about this, but at that moment, he faced him. [Organism detection. Organism detected.] [Remove.Remove.] Dozens ofbat drones, unknown when they entered. He realized as he watched those slowly approaching, surrounded by a group of magic troops, each brandishing a menacing tentacle with sharp des. The great magic that ruled this world. That the day hade when the magic, which had always been eternal and mighty, would copse. [Let''s eat fried dumplings] Game''s strongest troller (serial series) / Chapter 396 Chapter 396: Fall of Magic (2) The theme of the second half of Arcadia''s crisis. Invasion of mechanical civilization. Those who first faced thiste crisis did not realize it. [Hey, how dare you be arrogant on the subject of metal chunks.] [I''ll show you the fear of organisms. It''s a trivial tool shack lol.] [This is a matter of pride. How can they talk about annihtion in front of the lord of creation? But..... Kukukukung. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak. The bombardment of photon cannons pouring down from afar. As a result, users who were dyed gray and copsed before they even got close to it. The attacks that flew from a long distance where weapons such as swords and arrows could not even reach were powerful and boasted a terrifying 100% uracy rate. [Detection of biological reactions. Operation of the bombardment system operation.] [Photon bombardment charging..... firing.] Kuh..... isn''t this aplete scam? No, you should be able to fight a little, this is a total dog death! A battlefield that is not a battle, but just a one-sided massacre. Users with empty faces stare at the bombardment of countless photon cannons falling from the sky, turning gray and disappearing. And the bombardment continued without stopping. Completely demolish the strong castle wall. Completely destroying a city. Until the moment when all the biological reactions remaining in it disappear. The bombardment ceases operation only afterpletely eradicating everything without leaving a single one behind. Only then did the reconnaissance drones begin to move, followed by something new busily moving in what had just been human territory. [Energy supply chain construction..... Signal receiver instation.....] Construction drones building a production base to secure the resources and energy needed to produce an army of machines. As such simr phenomena took ce in various parts of the Japanese continent, the scale began to tilt little by little. [Machine civilization''s erosion rate is 9%...] [Completed construction of antimatter power nt. Energy avability rate increased by 1200%.] [Building a drone production factory. Additional creation of drones begins.] As the most essential facilities arepleted one by one and the area is expanded little by little, the machine corps rapidly increases ordingly. Unlike before, robots designed only forbat and obliteration have emerged from the production nts and started to move about. And the faces of Arcadia''s Crisis Management Response Team, who were watching it in real time, turned pale. Isnt this... expanding too fast? Two weeks after the second half crisis began and the entirepany dered a state of emergency. In that short time, the Gestalts took control of most of the Japanese continent and built their own civilization. Seeing the speed of their expansion and the ever-increasing number of machine corps, their faces were filled with worry. How much is the difference in power roughly? In response to Executive Director Myeong-Han Kwon''s question with a serious expression, General Manager Kang Tae-Hoon checked the data while manipting the tablet in his hand, and answered with a firm face. Considering that the average level of users is 150, thebat exchange rate per drone is 19:1. 19 people need to be attached at the same time to barely deal with one drone. Statistics derived from analyzingbat data of users colliding with drones in various areas. Just looking at it, it was clear that these machines, which had just appeared, could not be handled by the level of the current user. However, in the case of wizards, the exchange rate has been significantly lowered. If you can concentrate your firepower at a 2:1 ratio, it seems like you can take it out quite easily. If warriors, pdins, and dark knights with swords shed bloody tears and cut the average exchange rate, wizards are the only ones standing out. However, at the words of Kang Tae-hun, managing director Kwon Myeong-han sighed and replied. Then what should I do... Im getting helplessly blocked by that psionic disruptor or something. As if they knew what their weakness was, they used Dermian''s dragon heart to install the Psionic Disrupter as their top priority and started operating. And when the disruptor was activated, the wizards instantly turned into a level close to ordinary people who couldn''t do anything. -Isnt that psionic disruptor debuff crazy? -Really;; I''m a 5th circle, but if I get hit by that debuff, I instantly turn into a 3rd circle wizard. -Is that a problem? Due to the doubling of the casting time, he died before he could even cast a single spell. -That''s a nobleman. Have you ever used 4 circle magic? I just went crazy. The magicians whose power is rapidly reduced by an enormous penalty that they have never experienced before. In particr, the video of the penalty applied to the person who cast the 4th circle was buying a huge amount of resentment. [I''m originally in the 6th circle. The magic that can be used after being hit by the debuff of that psionic disruptor is the 4th circle. See? But look what happens when I cast the 4th circle magic here.] And the rhythm game suddenly started. He was ying with his fingers like crazy, pressing the 8 notes and 1 turntable that came down at the right time at the right time. And it was only after a fairly long time of 3 minutes that I was able to cast the 4 circle magic. -Is that the penalty or what? -Crazy bastards hahahaha What kind of rhythm game is this all of a sudden in magic? -What is the difficulty...? It has 8 notes and even a turntable, but if it''s insanely fast, it''s absolutely impossible to clear even a decent master without practice. A level of difficulty that is absolutely impossible for ordinary people. It was a situation that users had never experienced before, but in fact, this was a system that existed from the beginning. [You can use super-high-level magic just because you only got a magic book? that''s not fair Let''s not dare to use even the user from the 7th circle magic, which is a stage that people with tremendous talent achieve over their lifetime. It was a restriction created with the intention of preventing the reckless use of magic that is so powerful that it can be called a disaster. Because of that, even the top rankers, who were the most usable forces, couldn''t project 100% of their firepower. Wizards were the only weapon, but if this is the case, there is no other way . Although it was a self-talk, when the person with the highest rank said such a thing in a situation where everyone was listening, the atmosphere in the control room instantly became gloomy. ..... No one said anything, just the staff with their heads down with dark expressions. In that awkward and gloomy atmosphere, someone opened the door and entered the situation room. oh. Why are you all standing there doing nothing? Sir boss. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han was taken aback by her sudden appearance. But before he could say anything, President Lee Mi-yeon hinted at it with a strange smile as if he knew everything. Looking at all the dark expressions, it seems that he has already given up. Things arent better than you thought, are they? That''s... that''s right. Even if you look at this situation positively somehow and think about ways to ovee it, there is no situation at all. That''s why Myunghan Kwon started talking about the seriousness of it honestly. The entire continent of Japan has fallen into the hands of that mechanical civilization. The production facilities of thosebat drones werepleted and mass production began, and as energy supply and demand became smoother, not only closebat, but also long-range artillery drones began to appear, and the bnce copsed rapidly. Even the wizards who were thought to be the only opponents are panicking about the psionic disruptor. A situation where everyone, including the Mage Tower NPCs and even wizard users, were at a loss as to what to do. That''s why Kwon Myeong-han, executive director, looked at President Lee Mi-yeon and said. Now, if we start expanding beyond the Japanese continent to other continents, we will not be able to stop it. Starting with the central continent of Korea, all continents will be eaten by that Gestalt. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was silently staring at executive director Kwon Myung-han, who spoke as if he was predicting a definite future. She smiled slightly, then scolded him in a yful tone with a slightly rxed face. Is it okay for the executive director to be so pessimistic? It''s not pessimistic, it''s the truth. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han says that his judgment is correct. However, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her head as if not agreeing with him. no. Even at this moment, many people are fighting. The reason is obviously different for everyone, but they are clearly moving to protect this world they are in. That''s why we can''t despair and give up like this already. We have to work harder than anyone else to find the possibility to solve this situation and find a way to help them. CEO Lee Mi-yeon fiddles with an employee''sputer for a while and suddenly maniptes the monitor in the situation room. Those who inadvertently turned their heads toward therge screen with curious eyes at her sudden action froze in astonishment. [Shoot! All fire!] [Hahahaha! Taste the power of the magic turret! You damn bastards!] [How dare you cross our Gael Federation? Search everything!] [Kukuku kung. Kwakkwakkwakkwakkwa.] Crowds of red light pouring far away from the huge castle wall. The Gael Federation serves as a gateway and bridgehead connecting the Japanese continent and the Korean continent. Just recently, due to the war with the Shoen Empire, the mechanical corps approached the ce, which was perfectly defended like a fortress, and they were showing off the hot taste of the Cannonphilia school''s special artifact, the magic turret. A situation where countless drones are helplessly destroyed by the destructive magic that explodes with a tremendous roar. There was minor damage, but over thousands of drones were destroyed, and they were pouring out cheers like shouts of victory. [Louder! stronger! Firepower is the true path of magical engineering!] [Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Canonphilia school! Long live!] [Firepower! fire power! fire power! fire power! Gorgeous!] What the heck is that... I cant believe that... was that...? just a few months ago. The Gael Federation, which has brought about a huge issue as a reenactment of Japan''s historical tragedy and a national humiliation. Everyone froze in astonishment as they saw those who won the war against the drones with the magic turrets that were born there. Everyone knows the Canonphilia School, right? You told me the other day that the magic turret was fraudulent at the level of bnce copse and that it needed to be lowered somehow... Managing Director Myung-Han Kwon grabbed President Lee Mi-Yeon by the crotch of his pants,ining that it was not that, and tried to cut it. The magic turret that made my eyes red. But at that time, Lee Mi-yeon, who had endured without batting an eye, looked at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han with a strangely proud look in her eyes and asked. Doesnt it seem like you did well not to do that? ..... A magic turret that was obviously problematic in terms of bnce. But now, in the face of this great crisis, the magic turret was showing a new hope. And everyone in the situation room saw what was happening in the Gael Federation and began to have the slightest hope in their hearts. [Tush! Tush! Taste the magic bullet. You goddamn machine Cherries!] [How dare you try to rece humans? I''ll make them out of scrap metal and attack them!] Watching the former users as canon shooters who project magical bullets through revolvers defeat the remaining drone remnants without too much difficulty. And... [Firebolt. Firebolt. Firebolt. Firebolt...] [Quaang. Perong. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak.] Watching a person wielding a huge iron bar that looks hideous just by looking at it, destroying drones at once, firing circle 1 magic firebolts, and turning hundreds of drones into scrap metal by himself. [Let''s eat fried dumplings] Game''s strongest troller (serial series) / Chapter 397 Chapter 397 Fall of Magic (3) A dragon who is the master of magic and the originator. The magic that spread through them flowed to many different races, but among them, the race that showed the most outstanding achievements was obviously human. Those who followed the system of circle magic and built their own magic in a form almost simr to that of dragons. However, the dragons, which can be said to be the source, did not spare all kinds of harsh criticism when they saw human magic. [Most of them can''t even learn magic because they follow our magic without thinking about their inferior physical structure, which can''t even hold mana. Only a very small number of humans can learn it, so the number is extremely small.] [There is ack of challenging spirit to improve or supplement magic. Despite the fact that high-ranking wizards should be the most flexible in their thinking and thinking, they are known for their obsessive and stubborn tendencies, and they are called kondaes and only know that their own method is the truth. That''s why, whenever a novel magic theoryes out, they are always busy disparaging and cursing it.] [I don''t know why humans split factions. Rather than sharing, improving, and developing magic, the magic system is degenerating more than the past sorcery era because they pass on and inherit their knowledge in a closed way and go through the process of being lost along the way. Seeing things like this, there is no answer...] A human who has built a magic system that only a very small number of people can learn and master, insists on a closed and limited knowledge sharing, and has be knowledge only for the so-called privileged ss. s magic. In addition, dragons always looked down on humans because they rejected faction fights, innovation, and disruption between each other''s schools and only pursued stability. But... at this moment, the paradigm of that magic waspletely changing. Aaaaaaa! die! die! A ce to die! Tata Tang. Ta-ta-tata-tata-tang. Fire support! Call for fire support here! Cuckoo kung. Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam. Ha ha ha! I''ll wipe it all out! Mana stone! Bring all of them, even the stockpile! A mineral that contains mana. mana stone. The humans who use the artifacts created using the mana stones to fight against the machine legions that keep attacking them. Looking down from the air at this fierce battle taking ce along the border of the Gael Federation, an existence muttered in disbelief. What the hell is this... Dragon Lord Goldrian made an expression of disbelief as he saw that he was fighting against the machines confidently and rather crushing them, unlike what he was getting helplessly in other ces. There''s another bunch of theming in droves! Load the advanced mana stones! Old story! Again, when tens of thousands of machines approached for arge-scale attack, humans took out something. And when he recognized the identity of it at once, he murmured as if it were absurd. A whole mithril...? Where else did you get that...? No, more than that, this amount of mana...? A huge cannon made of green mithril, from the barrel to the support. He tilted his head as if wondering at the intense mana wave he felt inside, but was shocked to see the mushroom cloud created by the projectile that flew away with a red tail. Aaaaaaaaang. Even though they were several tens of kilometers away, the tremendous fever felt vividly. Goldrian couldn''t keep his mouth shut because it was so powerful that if he had been careless, he would have been caught up in the shock wave and flew far away. Circle 9...? The 9th circle magic that can be said to be the power and privilege of dragons only. A cataclysm that is no different from a natural disaster, and a destructive power that isparable to that of the 9th circle, which has tremendous power enough to blow up an entire kingdom in one blow. So he couldn''t believe it at all even though he had seen it with his own two eyes. Impossible. It''s impossible. Mana that goes on a rampage after being disturbed by the Psionic Disrupter. In this unstable situation, the 9th circle magic that even dragons do not dare to try. However, even in this situation, they were continuing to attack using mana so easily. Ha ha ha ha! All in one blow! This is it! okay! Long live the firepower! As expected, it''s like the final weapon that Haimer-sama made! Ha ha ha ha... I will be able to make such a powerful weapon someday, too, right? A city of humans where you can see all sorts of strange and mysterious objects, starting with an enormous weapon that erased all the legions of machines from the world in an instant. Watching it, Goldrian felt an irresistible curiosity. Did humans magic progress like this before we knew it...? A unique method that makes the arkpletely different from the one passed down by his own n. And he could vaguely understand the reason with just a moment''s observation. Using mana stones, even those who cannot umte mana in their bodies can use magic... Unlike dragons, which have near-infinite mana and can use them freely, humans have inherent limitations. . That''s why only a select few were able toe in contact with magic, but the city Goldrian was looking at was different. Even the woman who draws water. Little boy and grandma too. Even a child running around without knowing the world. A ce where anyone, regardless of age or talent, can enjoy the splendid benefits of magic if they so desire. Gael Federation, the birthce of magical engineering. Looking at the city, Goldrian smiled happily for the first time. Funny. And it''s interesting. A city that urges you to take a closer look and take a look around. Of course, there was no time to do that in the current urgent situation, but now Goldrian could understand why the World Tree had led him here. I thought there would be an effective countermeasure against humans, but was this what it was... Haimer''s special magic turret. Made entirely of mithril.... I thought that if I could mass-produce that formidable weapon that could instantly project cataclysmic destructive power, I could somehow defeat those grotesque beings. . And soon, heughed and muttered as if it was absurd. To think that the day wille when dragons will ask humans about magic... this is absurd. As always in the past, the dragon threw magic knowledge to humans as if it were good. However, at this moment, he felt a strange irony in the situation where the master and guest had been evangelized and had to ask them for instruction on magic. Then... um...? Now Goldrian was about to stop watching the game and go down to the city to talk properly. But he inadvertently stopped, startled by the familiar wave of magical power he felt in the distance. Tucan. Kwaaang. Quaang. A tremendously cheerful sound of blowsing from far away. A human woman who ruthlessly wields an iron bar and splits the remaining machine legion in half, pitiful. As soon as he saw her identity, Goldrian muttered with a strangely happy yet puzzled expression, as if he knew her identity at once. Are you my disciple...? * * * Circle 1 Archmage. A magician with only the pattern that only took power. Crock pot breaker. A crazy Korean magician who beats until he runs out if he doesn''t run out. Called with all kinds of strange modifiers that make her head confused, user Angelina is always considered one of the most bizarre yers. She was the only one who waspletely free from the restrictions when all the wizards were suffering from all kinds of penalties. [The set item effect of Poverty is being applied.] A truly fraudulent item thatpletely removes all restrictions on casting speed, mana consumption, and cooldown, limited to one circle. Thanks to that, even with the psionic disruptor active, her power didn''t diminish at all. Firebolt. Quaang. Thunderbolt. Kwaaang. Smash striking. puff. Icebolt. Chaa Ang. Lightning bolt. Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Even though she is a magician, Angelina moves faster than anyone else and fights with dozens of drones while wandering around the battlefield. Her battle, which melted all the experiences of the intensely hardcore battlefield she had experienced while apanying Casis for a long time, was so overwhelming that the viewer was taken aback. Kwaaang. Quaang. Tuka Aang. -Wow..... You attack that thing in reverse like that? -That means it gives the flesh and takes the bones..... If it gets hit, it just hits it, but on the contrary, it definitely breaks the earthenware pot of the drone. -Really... X is cool. how do you fight like that? -Circle 1 magic was the answer. Is it like that if you get 1 rank in 1 circle? Drones swarm in from all directions, as if they judged Angelina as the number one threat. However, despite their attacks, Angelina calmly and reliably destroyed them andpletely dominated the battlefield. Whoops. Drones attack for dozens of minutes. Even the best users would have been distracted by the constant battle, but Angelina was not shaken at all. And among the users who were watching the scene through the broadcast, there was a real uproar. -X-Bang How many of them can you destroy by yourself? -I gave up after calcting about 500 units. -This... Do you think we could win with just 100 magicians like Angelina? -Wow..... I was ignorant enough to make fun of her for being strong, but that wasn''t it..... She is fighting a heart-pounding battle so that no one can help but fall in love with her. The overwhelming power she disyed while fighting hundreds of drones alone was the same, but what people were enthusiastic about was her fighting spirit that never backed down or gave up and fought to the end despite her overwhelming numerical inferiority. - I''m sorry, sister. In fact, before I was ignorant, I posted badments about being strong. From now on, I will reflect on myself and be a fan. cheer up! -all! strength!w! buy! not! gel! lee! me! all! strength!w! buy! not! gel! lee! me! - Even a man will fall in love with this. -Kiaaaang! Sister, I''m dying! -I am also going to be a real warrior and be a wizard starting today. I''m going to live a new life as a magician. -lol. Do you think it will be like that with your physicality? break the dream -?? Who are you to trample on my dreams like that? Obviously, it is too premature in the current Arcadia.... The second half crisis, a huge disaster that no user dares to prevent. However, at this moment, through one hero, countless users began to have new hope in their hearts. A heretic from the wizarding world who teased me in the past, half for fun and half for heart. Looking at Angelina. However, apart from the praises of the users, Alice was observing her every single action and analyzing everything precisely. Woo woo woo. [yer Angelina. Past y record analysis.....] Despite having a job as a moonlight mage, she has been walking bizarre and abnormal steps that have nothing to do with her job since she was a beginner. [Ability stat mismatch, skill nurturing mismatch,patibility rate with the ss is 0.02%.] So, her stats and skill nurturing level werepletely different from the path that a moonlight mage had to walk. Circle 1 magic that reached the extreme of 1 rank, and warrior skills that were nurtured and trained to a level close to that. Looking at her abilities, which were intensively invested in strength and stamina, Elise decided. [Fulfill all restrictions. Creating a new job.....] Unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. Based on that principle, she wants her to erase the existing job that doesn''t fit at all and create apletely new job of her own. [Battle Mage] In this way, apletely new school of magic, the War-Mage school, was born in Arcadia, which values physical abilities above all else, projects quick and fast magic, and dominates the battlefield. By the founder named Angelina. [Let''s eat fried dumplings] Game''s strongest troller (serial series) / Chapter 398 Chapter 398 Fall of Magic (4) The war against the mechanical civilization in Arcadia. yers eagerly jumped into this war because of President Lee Mi-yeon''s request that everyone fight together to prevent the destruction of Arcadia and a quest that promised an enormous reward. However, he was horribly knocked down by an army of machines that were so powerful that he could not even dare to fight, and was filled with only despair. -Wrong..... This wasn''t made to wake you up. -No, does it make sense to tell a warrior with a sword to deal with guys like that in the first ce? -It''s better than a bow. Those guys are really useless. -It seems that the magic does some damage, but the problem is that the penalty is too serious..... -Eh. This dung beetle. Let''s see where we go Destruction is an asshole. -You don''t want to see thepany go bankrupt, so maybe you can adjust the bnce? Users who did not dare to face the overwhelming power difference and chose to wait and see after several deaths. However, one videopletely changed this atmosphere. [Uuuuuuuuuu! Rampage! Rampage!] [Uh ha ha ha! Even if I look like this, I was a special shooter in the army. All you can do is shoot!] Holding a revolver in both hands, shooting magic bullets like crazy, defeating the drones. [fire power! fire power! Firepower!] [One shot of mana stones loaded! Fire!] He loaded and projected dozens and hundreds of magic turrets at once, turning the whole battlefield into a mess. [Firebolt.] A video of him swinging a huge iron bar and destroying the earthenware pot of the machine army by himself, eventually winning. Those who witnessed this monumental moment, which could be said to be the first victory of human beings... no, organisms, were astonished. - No... What the hell is that? -Attacks against those ruthless drones work? - Chew hahahaha. Firepower is crazy Is that a pseudo-cannon or something? The main scenario established through the war between the Shouen Empire and the Gael Federation in the past. The Era of Arcane Machinery. Watching the grandeur of the cannon shooters and magic turrets that appeared then, they realized the big picture of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and got goosebumps. -So... you mean that magic science is the key to attacking this scenario? -I know? Come to think of it, magic damage is the most effective, but wizards have be idiots, so there is no choice? -If you have that revolver or something, you can get rid of those damn machines..... -Cannon shooter or whatever job is good, is this the scenario we are inducing now? It was a new job that was recently unveiled, and there were not many people who had a job rted to canon shooter or magic engineering because there was a path that each person was already walking. Only a handful of firepower geeks or obsessed with guns gave up their jobs and changed jobs to canon shooters or magic engineers. Originally, there was no room for the number of users with that job to increase so explosively, but at this moment it was different. wait....? If I just hit 100 drones with that revolver...?'' The third main scenario newly opened this time. Act. 3 invasion of machine civilization. Those who remembered that the rewards for this scenario start with items of at least epic grade. Realizing that there was a huge reward at stake, previously unimaginable, I immediately thought. I have to do this unconditionally.'' Should I change my job now? It looks interesting, but...'' Ha... Now, rather than hunting with a bow, let''s just pick up a gunfortably.'' Although each has a different reason, those who want to put a spoon on this huge event that can never be missed have begun to move their steps busily from all over the continent. To Gael Federation, the birthce of magic engineering. * * * After the video of Angelina and Gael Federation was uploaded. Her agency, iPlus, became a crucible of chaos because of the phone overload. From simple questions rted to the video to an interview with a reporter affiliated with an advertisement, all sorts of misceneous inquiries began to pour in. While all the employees were mobilized, answering calls, moving around, and focusing on their work, CEO Seo-wook Jo nced at them and went to a quiet ce where no one was present to pick up the phone. Yes customer. As you said, we havepleted all the streaming broadcasts. Jaeyoung Yoon.... no yer dex. The original owner of the daily life of the destroyer, which has now be the official channel of iPlus. As he requested, CEO Jo Seo-wook, who released a video highlighting Angelina and magical engineering to the world, was unknowingly relieved at the satisfying voice heard over the receiver. [I enjoyed the video, CEO. Did you edit more colorfully than I thought?] Our editing team always gets things done. In addition, we will upload a few more videos. There are a few more things that can highlight Angelina. [yes. Well, it seems that the goal has already been achieved, but... Do as you wish.] Jaeyoung induced the users to join the Gael Federation and instilled hope and motivation to fight against the machines again. However, he did not appear on this battlefield at all, so Seo-wook Jo eventually asked a question out of irresistible curiosity. Um...but why dont youe forward? [hmm? What is it?] He asks in a puzzled voice if he didn''t understand the question. Then CEO Jo Seo-wook began to tell his heart. If the yers wanted to rally and fight against the Gael Federation, Dex-sama had to be on the battlefield. It''s not that I''m disparaging or belittling Angelina-sama, but... To be honest, Dex-sama''s ripple power is absolutely iparable. Unlike Angelina, who has just started gaining poprity and building her own fandom, Dex''s fandom is alreadyplete. Of course, the group''s unique taste has gone beyond singrity to a bizarre and creepy level, but nheless they have formed a force as powerful as they were. If the customer had stepped forward, Dexs panties.... Anyway, that'' group would have flocked to the Gael Federation right away. It''s thergest scale ever, millions... no, maybe tens of millions. A taboo word that should never be spoken in front of Jaeyoung. Deck fan. CEO Cho Seo-wook spoke earnestly as he tried to bring it out of his mouth, but he soon said sorry. If possible, could you take a video with Angelina in the Gael Federation? Even from the editor''s point of view, it seems more picturesque... Dex, who has never done a merging before. CEO Jo Seo-wook wanted to take this opportunity to somehow make him appear with Angelina, but the answer he heard was very firm. [Are you crazy? What are you doing to attract those kinky stalkers? That''s absolutely not possible.] Jae-young stubbornly refuses to ask for help, saying that she regrets it. And he wasn''t doing it for no reason. [They were the ones who persistently asked me to tell me the brand of my underwearst time, saying that they helped me once, but this time, what kind of humiliation would they suffer for saying such an unfortunate thing again?] ..... Rather than open their hands to Deck Fanmu , Arcadia''s destruction Jae-young, who is full of will to choose . In response to his reaction, CEO Cho Seo-wook replied with a regretful expression, thinking that he had not even been able to find a break. All right. Then, we will make a video centered on Angelina and upload it. However, at the words of CEO Jo Seo-wook, Jae-young threw it as if it was no big deal. [Oh, and I''m going to start streaming soon, so please tell others to leave the channel alone.] Yes...? What is that...? Until just a moment ago, he had stubbornly refused to intervene in this matter. When he said that he would turn on the broadcast, CEO Jo Seo-wook momentarily put on a dumbfounded expression. [CEO seems to be misunderstanding something, but I don''t want to run into other people in the Gael Federation, so I''m thinking of attacking this scenario in my own way. It''s not that I''m just going to do nothing and just watch.] Ah! Did you mean that? CEO Jo Seo-wook, who is delighted with those words and his eyes shine. And asked with a face of great anticipation. Could you tell me what kind of strategy it is... CEO Jo Seo-wook recalls all sorts of scenes in his head about how to direct it. However, Jaeyoung muttered softly to him. [Well... it''s nothing special. Just as the machines are expanding their territory, I am going to eat their territory one by one. Its just like eating ground.] ...? CEO Jo Seo-wook did not understand Jae-young''s story at all. But he hung up the phone before he had time to ask more, so he couldn''t ask any further. What the hell are you trying to do? * * * The Gael Federation where a fierce war between machines and humans takes ce. However, Jaeyoung was moving in the opposite direction. Master, where the hell are you going? Can''t you just say something? Tan persistently asks Jae-young, who doesn''t say anything and just walks away in silence, looking at him as if he''s frustrated. To his words, Jaeyoung replied with a meaningful smile. Lets just say its a ce that reminds me of the past. Think of the past...? Tan muttered with a stupid expression as if he didn''t understand Jaeyoung''s words. But it wasn''t until he reached his destination that he heard the all-too-wee and familiar cries. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Kwaaaang! Kwyang! Kwyang! Greenish round shape. Bright eyes and a cute cry. Slime, who was the weakest in Arcadia in the past, but has now been reborn as a powerful being that canpete with any other race. Jaeyoung, who entered the habitat full of them, waved his hand as if he was happy and called them. Guys, its been a while. How have you been? The slimes that roamed the ins peacefully, chugging leisurely. However, as some of them looked at Jae-young, recognized who it was, and started to approach him happily, the surroundings of Jae-young were filled with green light. Kwuuuung! Kwyung! Kyung! Kwyung! Kwaaaaaaang! The slimes greeted him with fervent support as if they had seen a celebrity. And seeing their reaction, Tan asked with a serious face, as if recalling memories from the past. Master... can''t it be... isn''t it...? what? Jae-young smiles broadly as if she has no idea what she is talking about to Tan, who asks with an uneasy expression. However, because of the enormous slime that appeared at that moment, Tan couldn''t bear to open his mouth. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Kwaaang. A super-giant slime wearing a crown studded with huge and splendid jewels, the lord of all slimes, and the ruler of all species, the Lord of Slimes. Looking up at him happily, Jaeyoung leaped lightly and climbed onto his head. Can you help me this time? I have someone to sort out, but there are too many pages, so it''s too disadvantageous to deal with alone. Jae-young seeks help from the slimes on behalf of the hateful and ugly group of perverted stalkers who indulge in their own panties. And as he had hoped, these faithful friends did not ask for any reward or condition, and just raised green bells above their heads and cried. Kwaaang! Kyaaang! Slimes bouncing and crying passionately as if to leave it to them. Looking at the crowd of people filling the wide in, Jaeyoung said to them with a thrilling smile. Then lets go guys. To eat the ground. [Let''s eat fried dumplings] Game''s strongest troller (serial series) / Chapter 399 Chapter 399 Species Evolution (1) Kyung. A twinkle of twinkling eyes. Greenish round shape. On top of that, there are green bells that act like antennas suspended above their heads with cute cries and plump movements. This slime, each of which stands out for its cuteness, was officially the weakest monster in Arcadia. [Are you afraid of battle? Is hunting difficult? Then give it a try! The slime in front of you is so weak that even a level 1 beginner can easily defeat it even if they fight bare-fisted.] The existences that were only set to appear near beginners'' viges and were only practice opponents for those who started the game for the first time. However, in the midst of infinite freedom and possibility, they suddenly turned into something beyond the original nning intention. Kwuuuuuu! Kww! Kwyang! Kyaaaaaang! The birth of a monarch who leads all slimes and victory in the war against humans. Through such a process, the species as a whole continued to evolve, acquiring several new characteristics. [The Collective Consciousness'' attribute is added to the slime race.] [The Why did youe to my house?'' to the slime race. Attributes are added.] A group of people who do not spare their own lives and jump in for the sake of the entire race, and slimes who are extremely vignt about their territory. In addition, no one dared to touch the slimes even though the average level of the users increased due to their tendency to be extremely belligerent. -You can''t touch those green guys..... -Are you crazy? Do you want to see the vige destroyed again? -Slimes were scary as before, but now 1:1 is X rice. The problem is that as you fight, you end up surrounded by thousands of them before you know it. - If that crowned slimees out, it''s just death. It really never kills. -Really;; The attack is simple, but the stamina and defense seem to be enormous; People who fear the ability of the entire slime race, which boasts an enormous number and regeneration rate, rather than the strength of each individual. That''s why they didn''t even think about touching the rubbish mob that didn''t even get rewards or experience, and they didn''t evene close to it, so the slimes could fully enjoy the peace they hadn''t enjoyed before. A species of slime that loves peace and poses no threat as long as it does not invade its territory. However, they suddenly started exhibiting strange behavior. Wow. Wow. What is this sound....? Is it an earthquake...? A guard standing guard in a small town. They tilted their heads with puzzled faces at the sudden huge roar and vibration. And then, looking at the huge crowd passing quickly in front of them, they backed away with contemtive faces. Kwuuuuuu! Kwyuh! Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A green wave that makes a cute cry and jumps around. Enormous slimes that were so unfathomable that they could not even fathom their size were popping out of the grass and moving somewhere. What the hell is that! What a monster! The slimes are invading! Report quickly to the lord! In an instant, the entire city went into a state of emergency, and the guards, who locked the gates and watched their actions with vignt faces. However, the endless army of slimes passed by their city as if they were not interested at all. what....? Isn''t it attacking our city...? It was apletely iprehensible situation, but the soldiers were relieved that they seemed to be safe today. However, they opened their mouths after confirming the reason for the loud roar that rang out at the end of the endless procession of slimes. Whoops. My God... My God... A gigantic slime that was so massive that it was dozens of meters tall. Those who first saw the ruler of the slime race wearing a luxurious crown on his head were all amazed, but soon they were horrified by the fact that there was someone above his head. That''s...! This cant be... A person...? An adventurer who appears to be inmand of these slimes. They were staring nkly at him, and their eyes met by chance. They waved their hands mischievously as if they were happy to see him and stood there nkly for a long time, watching him and the group of slimes disappear. * * * The Federation of Gael, a bastion of hope and an opponent of humanity against mechanical civilization. In the past wars, in the thoroughly fortified border area, they were fighting fiercely to the point of despair, but the bnce was clearly tipping to one side. Keuuugh...! These bastards... there are too many of them! Even if I kill and destroy it, what if it doesntst a day and attacks again intact? Rather than that, these guys are getting more and more sophisticated. As soon as you fire a shell, it spreads right away and doesnt die properly. The Gestalt, whichpletely took over the Japanese continent,pletely built their own production facilities and began to mass-producebat machines. In addition, in the long battle, they improved their battle algorithm and began to attack them in the most optimal way. But... Unlike those machines, the human camp began to creak over time. Mana stone! You''ve run out of mana stones! Can''t you bring it sooner? You said your stockpile of mana stones ran out? Are you saying that now? Damn it..... Where have all the merchants gone? You dont even have enough food to eat right now! Not enough materials to repair the turret! Revolvers should also be discontinued now. Exhaustion of supplies, battle fatigue is rapidly increasing... In addition to that, numerous problems are scattered and it is only a matter of time before the defense line copses. Worst of all, it was a big and small conflict between adventurers who were only interested in their own interests. Hey, why are they selling 300 revolvers and not even giving us 100? Hey, its because your guildcks the capacity to do that. What is this bastard? Have you finished talking now? What would you do if you were done? Shall we have a fight here? Would you like to strike up a guild and negotiate? I will take responsibility and destroy those machines, so please sell us that turret. Ayy, you cant get any contribution just by defending. Lets just go and have ast fight! A dirty situation where all sorts of cheating and politics are rampant in order to monopolize quest rewards or guild interests, not obeying control and acting ording to one''s own will. And at the center of it all, the representative of the Gael Federation and Master Haimer of the Canon Philia school, who had to coordinate and take responsibility for all of this, had a face full of tiredness. Huh..... The conference room is so stuffy that you can''t breathe just by listening to it. After wasting time listening to the meaningless arguments of those running parallel there, Haimer was delighted when he saw a person sitting in his office. Ah, when did youe back? Not long ago. More than that... you look very tired. All Weapon Master Casis. Looking at him with a calm tone but worried eyes, Haimer shook his head as if it was nothing and muttered in a self-deprecating voice. This is nothingpared to those fighting and dying on that battlefield. Rather... what happened to my request? A situation where magic materials, including mana stones, werepletely exhausted. As a way to replenish this chronic material supply and manpower, the ce he pinned his hopes on was the support of the Mage Tower. Did you say that the Mage Tower... could support us? Even though they are not looking at them, Haimer thought that they would be of any help in a crisis like this. However, his face hardened at Casis'' words that followed. That seems difficult. yes....? Howe..... I can''t believe that magic engineering is not magic in this situation... Haimer misunderstood that he was still stubborn with his proud pride despite the blood of many people. But Casis shook his head as if that wasn''t the case. It''s not like that, but the entire Mage Tower ispletely confused. They say it was also attacked by machines. A raid...? okay. Because of that, they say that the Supreme Council of Magic or whatever has died, and they have no energy to help. The Supreme Council of Magic. A ce where only the great wizards whomanded all the wizarding forces and reached the highest level gathered. While they were discussing this situation, they were suddenly killed by machines that attacked, and everything waspletely paralyzed. It was aplete mess because they were fighting over who would upy the vacant seat, rather than trying to sort things out among themselves. I couldn''t wait any longer, so I just gave up and returned. It cant be... The Gael Federation is standing alone against the formidable machine forces because it is located closest to the Japanese continent. Despair showed on Haimer''s face, who had been looking forward to this request for help because he couldn''t afford to endure any longer and was in desperate need of someone''s help. Unfortunately. sincere condolences. However, that constion could not solve all situations, so the worry on Haimer''s face did not disappear. What should I do now... Heimer grumbled, recalling the problems scattered like threads that were soplex and tangled that they could not be solved at all. He looked down at his hands as if realizing that he was on a too heavy seat. I was just studying magic without thinking, researching and experimenting, and suddenly people came to me and asked me questions. Ask them to lead them, to somehow solve this problem. But... I dont know about this either. Haimer, who has lived his entire life as a magic engineer, is still just a young man. So he was sick and tired of all this. At the moment when only the thought of giving up was filled with mental limitations, I began to feel a warm hand on his head. Don''t make it tooplicated. In any situation, there is always a solution. ..... Haimer''s heart sank a little at the advice that contained his firm conviction. Casis, who had been stroking his hair for a moment, soon removed his hand and started to rhyme first. If you go to a war of attrition like this, there is no answer. After all, if they had the resources, they would be able to produce an infinite number of troops. Machines that only need to produce aircraft and do not require any other training or education. That''s why it was never possible to win in a defensive and defensive form in this way. Preemptive strike. Superjeon smash. Offense is the best defense. Casis opens the firmly closed city gates and goes outside, talking about ns to attack the machines'' production facilities and power nts. And furthermore, Haimer was reluctant to his story of going into their stronghold, destroying the core, and ending everything. Is that possible? It''s clear that Casis-sama and Angelina-sama are strong... but they overwhelm us with their numbers... I guess so. Clearly they outnumber us. But... At that moment, strange cries were heard from somewhere. Hearing this, Casis smiled strangely and muttered to Heimer, who made a puzzled expression, as if he already knew. Compared to the reinforcements, there are plenty of possibilities. What is that...?! Shocked by Casis'' words, Haimer opened the window. And he couldn''t keep his mouth shut at the sight that unfolded before his eyes. Kwuuuung! Kwyung! What? Kwyang! Kyaaaang! This is... A cute cry heard from all directions and a feast of green light in front of my eyes. A huge group of slimes that seemed like the Gael Federation would be swept away in one blow. Casis, who approached at some point next to Haimer, who looked down at them with a face as if his soul had escaped, said. Now it is our turn to attack. Chapter 400 Chapter 400 Evolution of Species (2) Machine Civilization VS Human. A slime suddenly intruded into this battle. People felt indescribable emotions as they looked at the slimes gantly rushing forward with cute cries on the side of the Gael Federation. - Wow..... Crazy..... - How many of them are there? Just looking at it is terrifying. -It''s really cute if there''s only one, but seeing them flocking around like that makes it horrific. -Things that only look cute are like bullies. -Rather than that, why are they running amok again? Slimes are territorial monsters that rarely leave their habitat. Therefore, it was clearly against their habit to show aggressive behavior outside of their territory in this way, so many people questioned this, but were shocked to find out the reason. [Yongjin! And Yongjin again! Let''s drive out those goddamn machines!] The video being ryed in real time from Arfandia. From there, watching Choco Paijoa vividly showing this fierce battlefield by shouting above the head of a slime wearing a colorful crown, they recalled the nightmares of the past. -Choco Pie Joea...? -No way... that slime master...? A video of the slime''s invasion of the Orc settlement, which was shown when he first debuted as Choco Piezoa in Arfandia in the past. Through it, the Choco Piezoa, which was once nicknamed the Slime Master and caused all kinds of controversy, appeared with a huge amount of slimes, and Arfandia started to make noise again. Kwuuuuu! [Organism..... Remove... Remove.....] Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Slimes that attack with very primitive and physical attacks by crashing into their soft bodies. However, the mechanical corps, which responded by attacking as if they were not paying attention to the attack, were clearly overwhelming them, although they were outnumbered. A battle that was no different from a one-sided massacre. However, that was not the purpose of the slimes in the first ce. Kwaji Jiji. Uh ha ha ha ha! die! Hold on! Slimes! I''ll take care of it quickly! While the machines deal with the slimes and buy them time, humans attack them in a surprise attack and kill them in an instant. This unprecedented coboration unit, which imed itself as a meat shield with an enormous amount and began to advance little by little in sacrifice. The counterattack of this organic alliance, which began in this way, continued to advance without rest, eventually encountering a huge production base that mass-produced a machine corps. [warning. organism detection. Organism detected.] [High defense shift. Initiate immediate response from security drones.] [Remove all organisms.] Weiying. Strange beeps are heard and countless machines rise into the air. Ominous lights were radiating from everywhere, even to the powerful weapons and defense systems, which were never seen before. Kwuuuuu! Their lord Lord of Slimes. As he howled with a solemn and resolute face behind him, all the slimes started to jump out crying and chugging as if in a howl. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Gee ying. Quaang. puffer pung. The war began with numerous photon cannons andsers shining and huge explosions that urred here and there. People showing various reactions while looking at this situation with interest that does not back down even an inch between machines and slimes. But among them, Jack''s feelings were uniquely different. [Ha..... That crazy guy...] Dex, whom I had chosen as the most powerful person to solve this huge disaster. Jack, who had been watching closely to see what he would do, was prepared for the expected scenarios he would choose. [It''s not from the fantasy world or the spirit world... I thought I''d get help from dragons, but is it just slime? Slime...?] He judged that the most likely solution to this situation was by borrowing the transcendent divine power or by using the dragons, the guardians of this world. Therefore, Jack muttered, feeling discouraged at the current situation, as he had already initiated various missions in advance andid the te so that he could cooperate smoothly with Jaeyoung. [Unexpected scenario. Creating additional scenarios ording to new variables..... Analyzing rted scenarios.] A situation that even Ellis did not expect at all. So I started to quickly analyze what would happen in the future, but the results were not as good as I thought. [How is it?] [Not good. It is true that slimes are superior in numbers, but the basic abilities of each individual are remarkably low. If the object rapidly decreases at the current rate, the advantageous advantage will disappearpletely.] A situation where he is using slime as a meat shield and somehow pushing it to a level close to that of a giant. If you are ignorant, you are ignorant, but as you see them effectively pushing them and trying to attack the production base, Jack felt something creeping up at Alice''s words coldly predicting their defeat. [The probability that humans and slimes will win this battle is 1.5%.] Based on the given data, Alice calmly and urately tells the probability. But at her words, Jack closed his eyes. And soon, as if he had decided on something, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked with a determined face. [Add one more variable and calcte it, Alice.] [What variable?] [If I intervene in this situation?] [...I mean....?] Jack, the owner and creator of this world. When he heard that he, who had never appeared in any situation, intervened, Alice was silent for a long time before warning. [I''ve said it before, but ording to Code 000, the top developer''s direct involvement in the scenario is strictly prohibited...] [ I know that, Alice. You shouldn''t directly intervene in this situation..... By the way.....] Jack grinned as if he hade up with something funny. [Who intervenes directly''?] [Couldn''t figure out the intent of the question.] Ellis, who had applied several patches to the slime''s movement in the past. While looking at her past update history, Jack waved his hand and opened a window. [Slime] [As the top developer of Arcadia, I know that I have the right to set and adjust everything in this world, right? Right?] [....That''s right.] As the owner and creator of everything in this virtual world, you have the most basic and natural authority. But it was a vast and veryplex and delicate task, and Jack, who had never directly coordinated it before, began to exercise the authority for the first time. Woo woo woo. [The whole species is fighting this great scourge. By the way... does it make sense that such a race is full of peaceful traits?] A species of slime born with a temperament that is originally peaceful and adapts to the environment. If you don''t touch them, if you don''t invade their territory, you will never react... They started to tune that trait that is imprinted in their genes. [It doesn''t match the current situation. If that''s the case, it''s my original duty as a developer to properly fix and change to suit that probability.] [....I agree. It is not an unreasonable intervention as it is judged as a legitimate business.] Alice judged that there was no problem with Jack''s behavior. So, at Jack''smand, she began giving the slimes new properties. [Infinite freedom, infinite possibilities. Isn''t that the most suitable characteristic for the purpose that bastard was pursuing?] * * * Machine consciousness gestalt. Somewhere in the center of the Japanese continent, he repeatedly expands and expands, forming a huge body of consciousness and expanding the logic circuit by leaps and bounds. He was quickly analyzing data on the battlefield from afar and was contemting a future response strategy. [Discovery of a new unidentified organism.] Reinforcement slimes suddenly appeared while humans were slowly withering away. Gestalt, who even gave up the territory they eventually seized due to their enormous supply offensive, was pushed back and ended up being attacked even to the mass drone production base, but there was no great worry. [The 1st production nt. Defense system 94% normal. Remaining guard drone 35%. Invasion probability 0%.] Since it was one of the most important facilities and a base for producing the machine corps that attacked the Gael Federation, the defense system built with enormous resources was more robust than anywhere else. The fact that the organism could not harm itself, even though there was a lot of it, yed a decisive role in such a judgment. [This organism has no attack power. It''s just a camouge film to hide humans.] There are so many slimes that it takes a long time to process, and in the end, they are nothing but beings that will be purified by machines. Therefore, Gestalt, who judged that the current resistance would eventually go to vain and end in defeat, had to make a huge misjudgment. [The rest of the corps will focus on the existing mission. Extermination protocol activated.] An order to leave the battle going on elsewhere. As a result, the numerous machine corps bordering the Japanese continent began to move forward as usual. That''s the situation where you have to deal with the slimes with only the existing troops and defense system. But he didn''t know. That something new, unobserved abnormality was happening to the slime he was dealing with. [Racial characteristics. Evolution'' is added.] A newly added characteristic by Jack. At first it had no effect. Just in green cute slimes. But... in the midst of the deaths of countless people, they began to change little by little. Kwuuuuu! Kwyung! Torn to shreds by the tentacles of the guard drones. Gee ying. It burns or explodes without leaving a trace in superheatedsers and photon cannons. Wow. cooong. A cruel and terrible death, being crushed by the massive feet of a superrge siege drone and bing a t rat cannon. However, during this harsh and harsh ordeal, the traits imprinted in these genes began to change. [Attribute Burning Acid'' added.] [Attribute Energy Absorption'' added] [Attribute Resilient Body'' added] [Attribute Infinite Fission'' added] . . . The privileged evolution of organisms that acquire and change new characteristics solely for the survival of the species in the midst of the death of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of their rtives. In that evolution, slimes were changing into something different from before. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The slime, which should have stopped moving after being split in half with a single de tentacle attack, split into two smaller ones and started moving normally. Kwyang. Kyaaaang. Those who had been blown out helplessly bysers and photon cannons absorbed the energy and ran around without a hitch. What? The slime, which had been crushed t, swelled up again as if something had happened and tilted its head. And..... Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. When youe into contact with these slimes, the machines emit strange noises and smoke while rusting. As dozens of slimes adhered to each other, all of the main parts melted away, turning red and rusty to a halt. Everyone looked at the superrge siege drone as it copsed helplessly, making a foolish expression. Kwaaaaaaang! Kwyang! Kwyang! A superrge siege drone that boasts the toughest and almost impossible to attack. Seeing the slimes crying out in excitement after defeating it with only their own strength, someone muttered as if it was absurd. Such crazy... People with faces that said something was wrong. But as if he didn''t care about that, Jaeyoung shouted at the slimes. All charge! Let us eat all of thisnd! Boys! Chapter 401 Chapter 401 Evolution of Species (3) Arcadia is inhabited by dozens... no, hundreds of billions ofrge and small creatures. In this vast world, humans are clearly in a special position. [Among those with intelligence in Arcadia, humans are in a very special position. They have more curiosity than any other race except dragons, and although they are not exceptional in all fields, they have above average talent. That is why, whenever outstanding geniuses and heroes are born, we humans achieve rapid development of civilization and upy the widest area in Arcadia. This is...] A human who has built a mighty power inpetition with hundreds of thousands of races. They im to be the lords of all creation and have always yed a significant role as the protagonists in the countless history of Arcadia. But..... Humans were definitely not the main characters in this huge stage of the sudden invasion of mechanical civilization. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The owner of a very cute cry and bright eyes. Slime. However, unlike their dainty and cute appearance and behavior, they moved forward again and again, destroying all the enemies in front of them with a fierce momentum. [organism. organism. Threat. Threat. Fatal.] What? A gigantic machine that continues to emit emergency sounds and roars loudly, even though its fusge ispletely destroyed and cannot even move. Slime, who looked at it with eyes full of curiosity, was hit with the final blow. [Self-destruct system activated.] Quaaang. Shards of slime shattered with a huge explosion. One slime died again, but the death was certainly not in vain. [The attribute Explosion Resistance'' has been acquired. ] Kwyung! Through the sacrifice of their kind, the slimespensate for their weaknesses and gradually be stronger. They fought and fought, expressing each additional characteristic of the entire species imprinted in their genes. Looking at one person who is like their monarch and the benefactor of the entire race. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Dozens... Millions of slimes howling in the joy of victory after turning even thest battle drone into scrap metal. And soon, as the Lord of Slime entered the realm of Gestalt, which waspletely dominated, the terrain began to change rapidly. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah [The slimes havepletely upied the power nt of machine civilization''.] [The requirements for upying the area are met.] [The slime''s habitat expands its area.] . . . A structure of deste machines that arepletely engulfed in green slime. And soon, slimes with innocent faces that didn''t know anything started popping up here and there. What? Pww! Kwuuuuu! The slimes greeted each other by rubbing their bodies as if they were happy to see the birth of new members of their own kind. And unlike Jaeyoung, who was looking at such a scene with a sense of satisfaction, Tan and L were looking at this scene with awe. This crazy..... What level are you nning to grow to...? Such nonsense... The Japanese continent, which had already beenpletely dominated and annihted without enduring the invasion of mechanical civilization. It was a continent of death that had beenpletely and neatly wiped out so that NPCs and other living things could not be found anywhere else, but now it was thriving with countless lives. Kwuuuung. Kwyung. With those green slime slimes. Now, just looking at the green color makes me feel sick to my stomach.... The slimes are devouring the realm of mechanical civilization and expanding its power. Thanks to having eaten more than half of the Japanese continent before anyone knew it, the scale had surpassedmon sense to the extent that now, wherever you look, you can only see green slimes. The situation is so crazy that even the devil and the archangel look tired and exhausted. But unlike those two, Jaeyoung''s face was full of smiles. This method works better than I thought. If you eatnd like this, you can really eat up an entire continent, right? ...Are you insane, Master? Are you going topletely turn a continent into their territory? That''s what I mean now... The Japanese continent is vast and huge enough to amodate close to 100 million users. The two were shocked at his idea of turning the whole area into a habitat for slimes, but Jaeyoung asked back as if what was the problem. How are you? Its an emptynd because everyone is dead anyway. There are no Japanese users whose services have been suspended indefinitely, and there are no forces still surviving, so there is no one who can im sovereignty over the Japanese continent. That''s why Tan and El couldn''t refute anything. I just stare at the group of slimes with a nk face. It''s fun.....'' The executives and employees of Arcadia are at their own risk, the users are at risk of the game they loved and enjoyed, and the NPCs of Arcadia are at risk of a serious disaster and survival. The samete crisis. However, Jaeyoung was genuinely enjoying this situation. Do not choose any means and methods and try to solve it in any way, is this...?'' Arcadia responds by changing the situation ordingly, as if it doesn''t matter what kind of bizarre method she uses. He had been guessing for a long time, but through this incident, he was able to be sure of one thing. Well... that''s something you''ll find out if you ask him directlyter...'' Jaeyoung shook his head as if it wasn''t important, and suddenly looked over the chatter of people who were pouring like mad on the air. - Whoever touches the slime, prepare for destruction. -Wow..... What if I eat all the real continents? Aren''t you kidding? -If theye in packs like that, it''s not really a joke . -What? -From today, slime is my master. -Ah hahahahahahahahahahaha, what kind of shit is going to happen to Slime-nim, the lord of all things? - The era of Slkiz Khan hase. Unlike humans, who were helplessly defeated and helpless, people are enthusiastic about seeing slimes fighting against machines and winning. And they were in the crowd of slimes and pointed their fingers at those who sneakily noticed. Die for -X. - Lol lol. The slime hyungs alone can organize it, but what are they doing over there? -You see he''s trying to hit thest hit because of one of his quest rewards. ugly really -Over there, the Magnus Guild didn''t listen to the words of the Gael Federation, and they looked at a disadvantageter on, so they were scumbags trying to catch each other. I uploaded the evidence, so pleasee and check my channel. - Slimes! Kill those quasi-humans over there! Hmm..... Come to think of it, I can see it sparsely and sparsely..... I nced around and saw countless users among the green slimes. They were calcting and snobbish, looking for a reward and a chance to explore, but Jae-young cut off his interest as if it didn''t matter as long as he didn''t interfere. Rather than that... what the hell are those two doing? The two people who are leading this fight, standing at the forefront with the slimes in the distance. Battle Mage Angelina. All Weapon Master Casis. In this war, she showed great prominence and was building a major that could not bepared to anyone else, but among them, Angelina''s case was unusual. Meteor Pacheon. Kwaaang. Fire bolt. puffy. Brain Dragon Age. Pats Tsutsutsu. Ice frost. Wheein. Using all kinds of unfamiliar skills, she is defeating the machine army with tremendous effort. Seeing that the user pioneered his own path for the first time and created apletely new job, Jaeyoung was able to guess how great it was from the probability that hade into him. [Angelina: 125634123] A situation where she alone earned a staggering probability of over 100 million. In the case of Casis, who is fighting together, Jae-young muttered with a proud face as he saw that he had not yet earned a 10 million chance. The performance of the mining machine is very clear. Angelina, who helped by stripping away precious probability in the past. Looking at her as if feeling refreshed at the fact that the probability of the investment at that time came back boasting a yield that exceeded thousands of times, Jae-young realized that a structure of an enormous scale began to be seen in the distance. Is that... The culprit that created thistter half crisis, and the object that must be destroyed to end all of this. ary neuralwork of machine consciousness gestalt.] A ce where the core of machine consciousness that has awakened self-consciousness is located, as well as the brain and heart of this machine civilization created by remodeling the ship Ste summoned. Jaeyoung, who reached the same ce as the main body that controls all machines on the continent and gives orders, realized that it was time to put an end to this boring fight and tapped the Lord of Slime on the head. Kwuuuuuuu! Then, the Lord of Slimes cried loudly. All the slimes that were advancing, plump at his cry, stopped as if they had promised. And they all turned their bright eyes at him. To the Lord of Slime... no, to the one riding on his head. [Chocopaizoa, the saint of slimes] He is the spiritual support and faith of all slimes. A human who liberated the entire slime race from the unreasonable persecution of humans and taught them what freedom is. They listened to the slime''s only friend and teacher. And Jaeyoung did his best to incite these slimes. national spirit. patriotic love. fight. uprising. sense of resistance. freedom. Jae-young, who added all sorts of rhetoric and praised the entire slime race, and talked about it with one color of praise. And he shouted, pointing with his hand at thest target he could see in the distance. [Dear Slimes! You overcame the senseless ughter of humans by joining forces and won victory and freedom with your own hands. It was thanks to the great and noble spirit of your senior slimes! They struggled without fear of death, sacrificed themselves thinking only of the fate of their people, and devoted themselves to the future of their race and all their juniors.] The slimes who first started resistance to escape from the indiscriminate ughter of beginners in the past. From that moment of weakness and helplessness, freedom and peace that were won by shedding blood. Emphasizing that, Jaeyoung said. [There are times when we have to go to the battlefield knowing that we will die in order to protect our own people. Even if I die, even if myrades die, even if no one remembers our names, through our sacrifices, our juniors will live peacefully on thisnd, and through them, we will forever leave traces in Arcadia! ] Kwaaaaaang! Kyung! Kwyung! As if they understood his words, loud cries could be heard from here and there, and slimes chuggled with determined faces. And at that moment, the huge structure began to move in the distance. Gee ying. Gestalt''s final weapon, the Charged Particle Cannon. The moment the weapon that wiped out a city in one fell swoop began to glow and emit an ominous light, Jaeyoung dered. [Even if we die, we will not die! The fate of the great slime race and this continent is at stake! All rush!] A day of revolution for slimes by slimes of slimes. Chapter 402 Chapter 402 Evolution of Species (4) The third main scenario of Arcadia''s second half crisis and unified continent. Act. 3 invasion of machine civilization. Gestalt, a stubborn and heartless annihtor who indiscriminately removes and purifies all organisms while writing down the ending of Arcadia. As a truly overwhelming being possessing state-of-the-art firepower that is so powerful that even primitive technology cannot be matched, he has the power to destroy this world itself by himself. I was working diligently. The end of this world that no one can stop and even the original author who created this world cannot stop. However, in this stage full of madness, the nned story and narrative werepletely reversed. Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Arcadia''s most inferior and weak being, literally a meaningless creature slime that is useless in this world. Those who were always despised and harassed by numerous races, including humans, at the bottom, denied the role and position assigned to them, shed blood, struggled, and rejected their pre-determined destiny. And .... Unlike the existing settings, the slimes continued to grow, evolve, expand their territory, and change the ss of the species itself ording to such efforts. The story, which was approaching the end of destruction in front of this huge disaster, began to be written in apletely different development through those who endlessly sacrificed for the entire race and the whole world. Whoops. Stop! Destroy that damn turret over there! Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Keuuugh... you damn swordsmen! How can you fight worse than these jellies! ah! Even if you get hit with just one hit, you''ll fall behind! Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Machine Corps VS Organic Alliance. It is the heart of the core of this machine consciousness, an army of machines that can never be retreated. Therefore, they were doing their best to stop their all-out offensive by pouring all avable resources. Kwak-kwa-kwa-kwak. Whoops. Starting with the charged particle cannon, the final siege weapon that annihtes everything in the area by condensing and projecting the enormous energy emitted from the antimatter power nt, photon cannons andser batteries boasting powerful explosive power are operating nonstop and emitting light. . The Gael Federation''s magic turret showed fraudulent destructive power and firepower to the extent that it couldn''t even give a card,pletely turning the entire battlefield into a sea of fire and devastating it, so the slimes that boasted of their enormous numerical superiority also significantly decreased. But... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Evolution is the privilege and power of organisms to change themselves for the sole purpose of species survival in response to harsh environments and situations. Amidst the sacrifice of their fallen rtives, the factors of evolution imprinted in their genes were expressed, and those who survived began to change and change again. [Attribute sticity is enhanced.] [Attribute Explosive Resistance is enhanced.] [Attribute Fire Resistance is enhanced.] [Attribute Physical Resistance is enhanced] . . . Slimes more strengthened than before. And they were born in their habitats, which dominated half of the Japanese continent, and soon chumped out toward their kin and their overlords. Quack! Kyung! Kwyung! A green wave that engulfed half of the Japanese continent. Those who watched the death and creation of so many slimes that they couldn''t even dare to figure out the number and rushed to the battlefield were at a loss for words. -Wow..... Really..... -The hell...how many are there? -lol. Take a look at the real game. - Even if you die, you wille back to life indefinitely and charge ignorance. Even a dragon can''t stop this...? - Slimes were the strongest race in this world. I did not know? The offensive is so huge that it makes you feel dizzy just by looking at it. No matter how cute they look and how they cry, everyone was looking at this battlefield with an expression that they were tired of the enormous number that seemed to go from tens to hundreds of millions. -The machine army is very deceitful... but it''s not good for the slimes..... -Even the strongest guy can''t move in front of Daguri! Our slimes are ying a little ha. -Why am I feeling sorry for that Gestalt or something...? People who see hundreds and thousands of slimes clinging to a single battle machine and tearing it to pieces, have a strange sympathy for the enemy. He must have been so, the firepower of the Gestalt was enormous, but the feast of those green jellies that pushed everything away with an overwhelming amount was too much for one side to see. Kwuuuuuuu! The slimes approached the defense facility. Looking at it, one of the defense turrets aimed at a green slime with sparkling eyes in order to carry out its original mission. But... at that moment, a huge explosion exploded inside the machine structure, and soon numerous defense turrets stopped operating and all of them stopped. [emergency. emergency. Area 1 energy storage destroyed.] [Organism invasion detected. Psionic energy response detected.] [Instant annihtion. Priority target for elimination.] [Activate self-protection protocol. Urgent recovery work is being carried out.] Gestalt sensed that dirty bugs were roaming around in the area only for machines that do not allow any organisms to enter. He quickly began restoring the destroyed energy stores while dispatching a number ofbat drones to order their immediate removal. But... Kwaaang. Quaang. Wow. Angelina and Casis, who have tremendous fighting power that do not lose at all even while fighting one-on-one against drones equipped with highly developed and improvedbat algorithms. The two were literally going on a rampage and destroying everything around them. Kwaaang. You damn bastard! Don''t be fancy alone, take these guys to ugg immediately! puffy. A little more, please. These guys are notpatible with me. Kwaji Jik. Ah-oh! So let''s just run away and not fight. If I die, I''ll know it''s all because of you! do not worry. I''ll take care of your back. Even when surrounded by hundreds ofbat drones, the two do not back down and fight. While organisms and gestalts were engaged in a fierce battle both inside and outside, Alice''s arithmetic circuit contemted and analyzed all of this with all its might, and began to predict what would happen in the future. [Integrated defense system utilization rate 42%. Destruction rate 25%.....] [Residual energy 29%. 63% of the energy supply chain is disrupted. Energy shortfall.... Serious.] [Drone production facility shut down. Weapon system recovery system destroyed.] [Data vault integritypromised. Data loss urs.] [Explosive possibility of core system destruction...] Gestalt eventually reached its limit as energy and resources stored in the midst of internal invasion and endless offensive from the outside ran out. And Ellis, who judged that he was cornered, had to activate thest phase of the crisis in the second half. [Scenario No. 239 applied.] Whoops. The earth suddenly shakes with a huge roar. Looking at the gigantic metal structure that began to move with loud vibrations, the slimes and humans stared nkly at the scene with bewildered faces. what....? That... is moving...? Gestalt''sary arraywork, which was like a huge city. When the huge, state-of-the-art ship, which contained everything needed to dominate and rule the entire world, started moving, everyone was clearly nervous, but as soon as they saw the mechanical consciousness transforming into a new look, people''s faces showed a sense of bewilderment. . Is that...? This crazy... Kuung. A super-giant robot that can reach hundreds of meters. Looking at the main body of Gestalt, which has changed into the same shape as the transforming robot that made every child''s heart beat in childhood, the whole world began to burn. - Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. X feet. -The real Arcadia management staff are absolutely mind-boggling idiots..... -I was convinced after seeing this. The kid who nned this scenario is obviously a spy nted by apetingpany. -Aren''t you being sued for copyright infringement? -What the FXXX. -How far does the real world view copse go? Abat robot that only appears in the ultra-futuristic SF world that appeared in the medieval fantasy world. That alone was absurd, but the charged particle cannon emanating from the robot''s chest was no joke. [Elimination begins.] Quaaaaang. Gestalt started a one-sided ughter with tremendous firepower while operating the quantum engine mounted on its back, denying slimes ess with incredibly fast mobility. That moment when the situation on the battlefield is tilting again. Jaeyoung muttered, frowning as if this wasn''t the case. No, to change in a situation like this. This is honestly against the rules. It''s not a prehistoric thing, it''s an irrational and unfair situation that transforms into a giant robot and changes the unfavorable situation like a child flipping his hand. Seeing how the slimes, who had been bleeding down so far, overturned the strategy like this, as if the hard work and sacrifice were nothing, he murmured with a determined look on his face. An eye for an eye. This includes this. What do you mean, master? As if hearing it for the first time, Tan asked with a puzzled look. Jaeyoung talked to him like it was nothing. It''s nothing special. It just means that if youe out improbably from the other side in this way, I will go out improbably from this side as well. Whoops. When Jaeyoung smiles evilly, gray energy radiates from his body. And he muttered to himself as if he had a good idea. If you want to change the genre to Jeondae, I will y along with it here as well. Let''s see who wins. The person who created this Gestalt crisis in thetter half and the person who nned this crazy stage. Asura, the master of the ck Mist. One of the seeds he created, an out-of-the-box existence that makes the impossible possible at the cost of probability, and an existence that disturbs the world by shaking up the established narrative of this world. Bard of Anarchy. Jaeyoung puts his strong will into these slimes... and drives a huge probability into their lord, the Lord of Slimes, and puts that ridiculous idea into this virtual world... and billions of people. In the midst of this watching, I forcibly applied it. [Probability of 100000000 is consumed permanently.] 100 million. Jae-young dropped an astronomical amount of probability at once, enough to restore 5 Deathbringers, the gods of the demon world. And a strange ident began to happen among the slimes who were dying helplessly in the storm of enormous probability. Kyungwoon! Kyung! Kwyung! Quack! Kww! Kwyang! Kwyang! An existence outside of the setting that was born due to Jaeyoung''s probability and that no one else had ever created. Lord of all slimes, Lord of Slime. It was an opportunity thatpletely changed the status of a species called slime, and the existence that was born from the sacrifice of countless slimes began to change again in the waves of green light flocking from all directions. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh grumble. A Lord of Slime that gigantically expands its body when a huge number of slimes sacrifice their bodies and assimte into one. The huge boss monster that boasted a massive size of tens of meters was hundreds of meters... No, those who watched quietly as it swelled and grew to reach thousands of meters eventually witnessed it with their own eyes. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! The emperor of all slimes, who has undergone yet another evolution as the gigantic robot Gestalt, which boasts a gigantic body of hundreds of meters, has grown to such an enormous size that it looks like a toy. The birth of the Slime Emperor. Chapter 403 Chapter 403 Species Evolution (5) Have you ever imagined? Emotions that humans can feel when looking up at a gigantic being that can only exist in the imagination. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A slime that has absorbed dozens of millions of slimes and changed into somethingpletely different from before. Although the appearance itself did not change much, it was safe to say that the enormous and massive size was the appearance of another disaster. Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Just a simple and natural slime cry that doesn''t contain any meaning. But the aftermath was by no means simple. Kururureureung. Aaaaaaaaang. The sky shakes and the earth shakes. As if a nuclear bomb had exploded, a powerful atmospheric shock wave spread across the entire area and swept everything away. Aaaaaaa! This nonsense... Power so strong that those who were stunned were caught up in the wave while they were not paying attention and were blown back dozens of meters. It was only through that cry that people realized that this was reality. [Slime Emperor] Beyond the title of Lord, he has the mad name of Emperor. But no one dared to think of such an outrageous thought while looking at the huge slime in front of them. Crazy..... Is this... true story...? The machine consciousness gestalt that I felt was the most threatening existence until just now. He was loaded with state-of-the-art weapons that could wipe out a city at once, butpared to the intimidation of the Slime Emperor in front of him, it was just ridiculous. A guy that big is moving...?'' If I get caught in something like that... I don''t think even the dragon will be safe...?'' If you jump, the seismic angle is at least 9.0...'' A slime asrge as Mt. Ha. Just when the faces of the users who had had terrible fantasies about him running around and crushing the continent were turning ck, the Gestalt suddenlyunched an attack on the suddenly appeared Slime Emperor. [Detection of veryrge organisms. Remove.] Kukuku kung. Aaaaaaang. Gee ying. Gestalt, which projects everything it has with full force and fully demonstrates the mighty majesty of scientific civilization achieved by mechanical civilization. Obviously, his attack was powerful enough to destroy a civilization, and even the dragon, the guardian of Arcadia and the strongest in the world, could not be assured of life or death. But... What''s wrong? The Slime Emperor, who has be an organism with a size and mass that is so great that even its destructive power is uncontroble. He tilted his head as if he was wondering what was going on as he rolled his huge eyes here and there, as if he had no damage from the ceaseless bombardment and attacks of Gestalt. [remove Eliminate.] A gestalt that blindly moves to obliterate ording to the settings assigned to it. Even in an absolutely unfavorable situation, he continued to attack without retreating and was eventually caught by the huge drop of slime. A drop of slime hanging like an antenna on top of the head. Using it like a hand and being able to move freely, he grabbed Gestalt''s torso and lightly threw it to the floor as if to taste it. Kyungwoon! A very light movement. However, due to the enormous physical force generated from its enormous mass, the Gestalt mmed into the ground with a terrifying sound. Aaaaaaang. ..... ..... Visibility was obstructed by dust rising up into the sky with a roar. However, after a while, when the figure of Gestalt was revealed through the dust, no one could bear to open their mouths. Hundreds of meters tall... The giant robot, obviously the size of a skyscraper with dozens of floors, was shattered beyond recognition in one blow andpletely turned into a mass of scrap metal. - No way... this is the end...? Hundreds of millions of users watched this situation through broadcasting. However, the chat window was strangely quiet as everyone was staring at this situation in a state of disenchantment. However, starting with one person''s question, enormous texts began to pour in, worrying that the server might explode. And the message that everyone who esses Arcadia hears. [Act. 3 The invasion of the machine civilization has ended.] [Awakened machine consciousness gestalt, the existence of another world that threatens Arcadia. The evil n to create a world only for machines, dreaming of the annihtion of all organisms, waspletely ended in the resistance of brave organisms.] A message that sounds like congrattions to the warrior who defeated the evil demon king. The announcement announcing the end of this madness was heard, but no cheers erupted from anywhere. [The race slime that saved Arcadia. If it weren''t for their sacrifice and courage, we wouldn''t have been able to defeat this disaster. ] Kwyang! Kwyang! Kwaaaang! At those words, the slimes ran around and cried here and there, enjoying the joy of victory. As if praising their hard work, the system message dered to the world. [They will build their own nests on the continent dominated by machines and live in afortable and peaceful daily life as before. Together with their great ruler, the Emperor of Slimes, who prevented this great disaster.] In fact, the main character of this scenario was the slime. [The habitat of slime is greatly expanded.] [The Lord of Slime is changed to Slime Emperor.] [ The stats of slime are greatly increased.] [Many characteristics of slime are added.] . . . Aww. A greenish slimy substance that undergoes numerous changes and spreads throughout the Japanese continent. Starting from the remnants of the Gestalt that stopped functioning, all thend that swallowed everything was covered with sticky green slime, and slimes started popping out with cute cries here and there. Quack! Pww! Kwyang! Do Do Do Now, slimes that use an entire continent as their habitat. Looking at them, Tan and L were each making indescribable expressions. Oh this is fine. The reward is also salty. Jae-young mumbles with a pleasant smile after confirming the new probability and reward. The demon king of chaos, Tan, asked him earnestly. Look at this, master. huh? why? He stares into the empty space without turning his head and answers in a dry voice. However, Tan asked Jaeyoung very seriously. Really, why are you raising these guys like this for no reason? Reinforcing the wish slime that I had granted after signing a contract with him in the past. Even after that, I couldn''t understand Tan''s discriminatory behavior of raising a low-level slime lump without any intelligence and trying to be strict with the calctor and not giving it a chance. huh? Didn''t you ask that before? Jaeyoung narrows her eyes as she recalls something simr. Then he shrugged his shoulders and said as if there was no particr reason. Because what you do is cute. It''s cute to look and it''s cute to cry. If you touch it, it''s like a soft jelly, so it feels good. While doing so, he sat on top of the Slime Emperor''s head and fidgeted with one hand on the floor. ..... Looking at Jaeyoung, whom he likes with a smile like a child, Satan, the ruler of the demon world, earnestly takes out the memo he wrote in the past and gives instructions to all demons and demons in the demon world in the name of the demon king. got off -When you go out in front of humans, go out unconditionally cute, dainty, and cute. -I personally punish the idiots who go out in the wild and ruin the cute image. - Cute crabs are the best. Cute crabs. That''s how you do it. * * * Creator and father Jack, who was watching all this. He let out a sigh of relief as Ellis announced the end of thiste crisis scenario and looked down at his twisted world with bitter eyes. [Ha..... I shouldn''t have left those slimes without an answer this far...] It was an inevitable situation to stop Gestalt, but because of the one trait he gave them, evolution'', the slimes had an enormous trait that made them feel like they were exaggerating had to be added. [Aside from explosions, physical magic, and all other elemental resistances, they are attached to the highest level, and if the toxicity level is like that...] The Gestalt machine corps boasts overwhelming ipetence. While enduring their attacks and even counterattacking, they continued to evolve over and over again, and as a single user, they were strengthened to a level that they did not even dare to deal with. [This is ording to the characteristics given by the administrator. If you have any doubts about this, please refer to the relevant data.] Ellis presents countless data to prove that it was a reasonable bnce adjustment. In response to her fact bombardment, Jack waved his hand and said. [No, I''m not trying to say anything with that..... Rather, isn''t it too much to apply the entire continent of Japan as the realm of slime?] The entire continent of Arcadia seen by Jack. Among them, he grumbled as if he had objections as he looked at the huge area that was glowing green. [They still had a high number of individuals and a high regeneration rate, but if you ate a continent, how many slimes would there be in Arcadia?] [Currently, a total of 132,913,924 slimes live in Arcadia . ] Arcadia, a world teeming with over 100 million slimes. The problem there was a gigantic slime taking a nap in the middle of the continent enjoying the beating sunlight. [And that one! No, what kind of slime do you make so big without countermeasures? No matter how much probabilities are exhausted and created, how much is there? How the hell are you supposed to deal with that? Slime Emperor. No matter how Jack was, he couldn''t recklessly touch that monster created through legal procedures, but that was too much. [That... No, would there even be a human who could understand this situation? No matter how you look at it, this is just crazy.] A mountain range. In addition, each of them has a strength beyondmon sense, and in Arcadia, slimes have the secondrgest number next to humans. Not joking, seeing that he had be an existence that wouldn''t be strange even if he was called the strongest in this world, Jack questioned, The slime I imagined wasn''t like this!'', but Alice asked him back in a calm tone. [Thetter half crisis is an out-of-the-ordinary scenario that defiesmon sense. Arcadia has been invaded by mechanical civilization, but is there anything that makes more sense?] [.....] Jack has be a dumb ass because he has nothing to say to Alice''s question. To him, Alice began to show him various situations as if the current situation was not important. [Additional variables have urred due to that scenario.] [Variables...? What are you talking about?] [Please check the data.] Alice shows Jack a video of what is happening in real time. And in the video, Haimer was absorbed in sketching something. [Hmm..... If you give mana to this circuit here...] Pile of Gestalt scrap metal piled up like a mountain. Haimer ispletely absorbed in holding them one by one and experimenting with something. Jack''s eyes began to tremble as he stared at something he was drawing. [What is that....?] A magical engineer full of curiosity and talent who is analyzing and reverse-engineering the remnants of Gestalt and parts made with all kinds of advanced science and technology, Haimer. Through him, another new narrative was being created in Arcadia. The ultimate magic weapon that is the essence of magic engineering technology, born from the fusion of extremely delicate and precise magical theory and extremely developed engineering. A huge epic about the birth of Gigas. Chapter 404 Chapter 404: Prelude to the final chapter (1) A huge disaster has arrived in the fantasy world of Arcadia. Invasion of mechanical civilization. In addition to space battleships armed with highly developed future technology, the invasion of powerful machine corps brought enormous damage to the annihtion of one continent, but in the end they had to prevent this huge disaster. However, the aftermath that came after that has not been resolved even after a month has passed. [I would like to express my deep concern about Arcadia''spany policy of unlimited freedom and infinite possibilities. The crisis in the second half of this time... Regarding the so-called invasion of mechanical civilization'', general manager Lee Mi-yeon clearly mentioned the destruction of Arcadia. no what the hell does that mean? What were the yers thinking if they couldn''t prevent this scenario? Are you willing to endure the end of the service with the fall of Arcadia?] The fall of Arcadia, which President Lee Mi-yeon clearly mentioned in the video that he earnestly requested from the world after the crisis was triggered in the second half. That statement has instilled great doubt and anxiety among the many people who are putting huge amounts of money into the game. How long can this gamest?'' The risk of service termination may be greater than we think.'' Limitless freedom and limitless possibilities. A game system that epts everything that happens in the game, no matter what the consequences, and changes and updates ordingly. As a result, many things have changed so far, and there was great confusion in the process of epting such changes, but most of them enjoyed and were enthusiastic about such unpredictable situations. However, everyone agreed that Arcadia had crossed the line in this case. [Arcadia Co., Ltd. must clearly disclose in front of the public how far the game''s operating policy, unlimited freedom and infinite possibilities, are tolerated and whether it is willing to abruptly stop the service, as in the case of Japan. In addition, when a sudden change in the game has caused huge damage and loss to users unterally as it is now, we must apologize andpensate. Especially if the current trend is that virtual assets are also equated with real assets.] Public opinion can never be favorable to Arcadia Co., Ltd. There were very few users who benefited from this scenario, and most of them suffered huge losses or sucked their fingers and did not see any ie. - No, I died and dropped a unique item from that machine, what should I do? -unique....? You blew up a house . -Because slime did all the main scenarios hahaha. - Where is this ridiculous scenario? really? No matter how you think about it, it''s ridiculous. It''s a situation where all ces are on fire regardless of whichmunity. As if to represent the hot public opinion, he shouted in anger while pouring out vicious words about Arcadia Co., Ltd. on TV. [In addition, the thing that angers me the most is Arcadia''s nning ability, which is notmon sense. A space battleship in a mysterious and fantastic medieval fantasy world? Invasion of machines? Is it a sane idea? I don''t know who it is, but if there is a bastard who came up with such a project, he should be fired right away. It''s a mindset thatpletely ruins the game. No, more than that, the development team and executives who passed such a n and applied it to the game are also shot in the head.] A moderator who is sweating to calm down the panel, which is so excited that it even pours out harsh remarks that should not be done on the air, and to put an end to it. However, his candid remarks were receiving a tremendous response from public opinion. - That''s right! -Is this a game? damn bastards. -I''ve been saying this for a long time, but Arcadia''s executives are just idiots. - They''re just bastards who enjoy feeding the users? What do you expect from these guys in the first ce? -If you died from the machines this time and lost items as a death penalty, please send me a note. We n to sue for collective damages. - All executives must resign! Otherwise, there will be a boycott! -Ah..... I really want a capsule refund. Should I just fold it? Users who go beyond being angry at Arcadia Co., Ltd.''sst-minute operation and even seriously think about quitting the game. Public opinion was deteriorating iparablypared to before, but President Lee Mi-yeon, who had to take responsibility for this situation, was busy dealing with branch managers who had already risen in rebellion. Ill tell you clearly here, but this scenario is a n that was clearly decided from the development stage. Regarding the opinion that it was an absurd development in this regard, I am fully aware of and agree with you, but I cannot guarantee that simr cases will not ur in the future. It is up to the users. The second half crisis that was first introduced in Arcadia. It was notpletely disclosed to the public, but in the worst case, the whole of Arcadia could have been destroyed. [What do you mean? Could it be that there is not just one scenario like this, but several?] [Oh... my God... are you really going to ruin this perfect game like this?] Did you make it?] Although it is a game system that is free and flexible beyond imagination, the branch managers did not think it was possible to destroy the entire continent. But now, more than ever, I felt that it could really happen. Looking at the Japanese continent already filled with sticky green slime. [Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu] The slimes whopletely ate a continent on behalf of Gestalt. It''s a shame that Japan''s service has been suspended indefinitely. It''s a terrible situation that might have heard tremendousints from 100 million users who were deprived of their entire home overnight. That''s why Emily, the branch manager in charge of the North American continent, put on her arms and spoke to President Lee Mi-yeon with a determined face. [I''m sorry, boss, but I can''t understand such a situation at all. No matter how much thispany is pursuing, there is a certain extent. Arcadia... No, thispany will not be able to survive for a long time if it operates self-righteously without listening to users in this way.] The world''s first virtual reality game, a perfect and massive virtual world Arcadia . Although it dominated the virtual reality industry at an overwhelming level because there is no substitute for it now, it was true that it could notst forever. [There are already numerous virtual reality services being produced based on our lucid dream. Starting with League of Legends, War Ground Jenny''s Legendary Fight Club... In addition, dozens ofrge IPs are scheduled to be released as virtual reality games, including MMORPG games iming Arcadia.] Arcadia s It may not be as perfect and outstanding as the level of virtual reality, but the release of games that imitate it to some extent has been announced. Therefore, if the operation was carried out in such a careless andst-minute way, therge-scale departure of users who were fed up with Arcadia was predicted. That''s why Emily tried to give advice as an executive in charge of thepany. In the future, it is said that it should be operated withmon sense that is more friendly to users and can coexist with each other. But... at that moment, the faces of dozens of branch managers that appeared on President Lee Mi-yeon''s monitor disappeared. hmm....? Sudden disconnection situation. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was about to touch theputer while tilting her head thinking that there might have been an error at the moment, was shocked by the sudden appearance of a person. [It''s been a very long time, my sister. How have you been?] A boy with thick hair that I can''t even guess when he washed it. Her face was full of tiredness from working amidst the messy piles of hot chocte on the desk, but as she looked at her mischievous eyes and evil smile, President Miyeon couldn''t even speak properly. Mi Minsu...? The chief administrator of Arcadia and the creator of numerous final crisis scenarios. And the true owner of Arcadia Co., Ltd., and an existence that can be said to be her only boss. Kim Min Soo. He appeared in an unexpected situation and casually asked about her well-being through the monitor. [Is thepany running well? I was busy working on a project, so I wasn''t paying attention , but something amazing was happening in the game without me knowing? Minsu who was there. As if he came across the rted news by ident through the news, he grumbled at President Lee Mi-yeon with a sad face. [This is too much, older sister. I am also the operator of this virtual reality game, so shouldn''t I be the first to tell you when something interesting like this happens? Do I really need to hear this news on TV?] He asked with a grin. Heughed lightly andined as if it wasn''t a big deal, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who heard it, spoke calmly with a more nervous face than ever before. You said you were very busy these days. That''s why I didn''t inform you on purpose because I was worried that I would be disturbed by paying attention to trivial matters. [Hmm..... Really? You didn''t tell me because you were afraid that if I found out, you''d mess up again?] ...No way. Will our Minsu be like that? It''s a joke. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, was shocked by the words, but pretended not to answer while rolling her eyes. At her words, Min-soo made a strange look as if he knew everything, and soon started flipping through the calendar on the desk. [Let''s see..... I don''t have anything to deal with right now..... The rocketunch date is three months away anyway... After I leave everything to Eugene... Um... ...] Minsu mutters something to himself and struggles. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who was looking at him with a worried face, asked with a worried look. What are you talking about...? Her voice began to tremble, as if wishing that it was not what she had imagined. However, as if that ominous imagination was correct, Minsu replied with an evil smile. [I''ll go back to Korea soon.] What...? President Lee Mi-yeon froze at the sound of a thunderbolt that came out of nowhere. However, Minsu smirked and muttered whether he knew what she was thinking or not. [I still have time to finish everything I have to deal with here right now. Before the rocketunch, there was nothing to do, so I thought about what to do, but it turned out well.] Minsu''s expression is full of anticipation with sparkling eyes, as if he found a fun toy. And he disappeared after saying something that CEO Lee Mi-yeon would never want to hear even in a dream. [I''ve been too indifferent to Arcadiately, right? I''m going to see how big thepany has grown and how well the game is running, so see you soon. I''ll contact you again!] The screen disconnected after saying see you soon. Jack appeared with a pale face in front of Lee Mi-yeon, who was still frozen in shock as if the afterglow was still there. [This...isn''t it X?] ..... The office fell into silence with a stiff face. That''s how these two ended up facing the worst moment they couldn''t imagine. The moment Asura, the master of the ck mist, sets his sights on Arcadia. Chapter 405 Chapter 405: Prologue to the final chapter (2) Numerous conspiracy theorists have said that there is a great secret in this world that we do not know about. Existence of aliens and ghosts. Secret societies, brainwashing chip vines, etc... Most of them dismissed these absurd ims without any evidence as absurd stories, but obviously, there was a huge secret on this that ordinary people do not know at all. [Detecting a terrorist threat. Risk level 83%.....] [Relevant evidence collection.....] Argos, an operating system that manages the operating system installed on smartphones used by people around the world. Prism, a huge integrated surveincework project that only a very few people know about on this earth, unfolded through a backdoor secretly installed in the operating system. Thanks to this project, which was promoted under the authorization of the US government, the United States was able to bepletely free from the terrorist threat scattered all over the world and experienced the brilliant development and innovation of science and technology. The reason why it has been able to secure its position as the world''s most powerful country by gaining enormous economic wealth more than ever. It was because of holding hands with only one person. [If the United States holds my hand, the world of innovation and upheaval that I will create in the future will always start in the United States.] A genius boy who appeared like aet at the age of 9, writing a thesis that would change the world. Kim Min Soo. The hand that he first approached the US government and made an outrageous demand. And the US government, which held hands in that absurd story, experienced unbelievable changes in less than five years due to the numerous science technologies and inventions he unraveled. Corporation Argos. Silico The Bio Industries. Ajin Electronics. Americanpanies that have reached the pinnacle that no one can surpass in their respective fields, changing the world in line with Minsu''s steps. People in this world did not know at all, but President Lee Mi-yeon clearly knew the true owner. So... you mean that even Jenika can''t do something about Minsu? [Because it is. Where do you think that crazy baby will hear me? The answer is to just infect them with a mutant AIDS and kill them painfully.] When asked for advice on how to deal with Min-su''s intrusion, Jenika, the head of Silicorp, pretends to slit his throat and talks about a nasty idea. Seeing President Lee Mi-yeon with a worried expression on her face, she let out a deep sigh and said, [Just eatfortably. No matter what you say, Minsu''s son will act as he pleases. In the first ce, that bastard isn''t someone who listens to others and eats them up, right? If he hadmon sense, he wouldn''t have run amok like an unbridled fool.] Well... that''s true, but... [Just think of Kim Min-soo as a natural disaster. What the boss dares not do... For example, something like a typhoon. When a storm is raging, it''s best to just stay calm and hide in a safe ce. After the typhoon has passed, I just have to make amends. What should I try to do in the middle of a rainstorm?] ..... Zenica''s realistic advice that it''s easier to just give up. It was advice as one of the people who knew Min-soo best and who had suffered from him many times, but Lee Mi-yeon''s face was dark, as if she didn''t have the confidence to handle the aftermath. [Or.... Just as I said, there is a way to assassinate without anyone knowing. Personally, I hope that''s the case.] Jenika gives advice with a serious face as if she''s not joking. However, at her words, President Lee Mi-yeon nodded with a wry smile. Okay, Jenica. Thanks for the advice. Ill think about the next best thing a little more. [But why is that kid suddenly interested in a game he hasn''t yed before?] Jenika, who is working hard on Silikov''s work, doesn''t know much about the situation in the game. She frowned as if she couldn''t understand and muttered as if she was in trouble, but President Lee Mi-yeon replied with a calm face. Well... hes interested because the things he nned are starting to unfold. [What was nned...? Wait... now that means.....] Jenika recalled Minsu''s settings and goals that he had nned in Arcadia. And then she screamed with a shocked face. [What the hell are you doing in the game? yes? No, this crazy!] Thete stage crisis scenario of a huge catastrophe that leads to the end of Arcadia. Thest rice cake in this world nted by Minsu, and a setting with his unique and insane taste added. When it was said that it had been activated, Zenica shouted with an absurd face. [Why is the second half crisis already triggered? No matter how fast it is, 10 years... no, 20 yearster, you nned it! jack! jack! hey! Doesn''t ite out quickly?] Now, Jenika is aware of the serious situation taking ce in virtual reality. As she began to rake in arrogance against Jack, CEO Lee Mi-yeon looked at the conversation between the two with a bitter expression, then ended the connection without saying anything. ...Ellis. [Speak.] Alice responded immediately to the low call as if she had heard it. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked her with a serious face. Minsu... no, if Asura intervenes in Arcadia, how will this world change in the future? Arcadia''s strongest and worst being, asura of darkness. Eris immediately responded to her question, unimaginable what would happen if he wielded the power as he pleased, who had the same authority as Jack, the creator... or maybe even more. [The content has not been specified.] Really...? [Yes.] Kim Min-soo, who created this world, but at the same time is a contradictory being who nted the seeds of destruction everywhere. She continued to put on a worried expression because of his extreme tendency, which seemed like he would not hesitate to destroy the world for fun, but Aliceforted her, telling her not to worry, as if she was imagining only the worst. [The goals and ideals that Arcadia pursues remain unchanged. Limitless freedom and limitless possibilities. The scenario involving Asura''s resurrection has a high possibility of leading Arcadia to destruction, but it is not a definitive ending. It is not reasonable to make hasty conclusions.] It is not a definitive ending...? [That''s right. It is not in the role of a manager to create the ending of a scenario under any circumstance. The only beings who can create the ending of the scenario are...] Only the users. CEO Lee Mi-yeon answers Alice''s words with a hazy expression. And as if she realized something soon, she jumped up from her seat and her eyes lit up. Thats it. [What do you mean?] Ellis, you judge ording to the principles in any situation, right? Artificial intelligence that judges and acts fairly and ording to given rules in any situation. That''s why she immediately answered President Lee Mi-yeon''s question. [Yes.] In that case..... If Minsu tries to destroy this world no matter what kind of disaster he causes, if the users prevent it and endure it again and again... what will happen? [Arcadia will not perish.] Numerous stories sleeping in Arcadia. But they weren''t finished stories yet. A story that many peoplee together to make by biting their tail after tail. Between the numerous choices and turning points, it was not the management of Arcadia Co., Ltd., but the billions of users who wrote a happy ending or an unhappy and tragic ending and created the true conclusion of the story, so President Lee Mi-yeon finally found a clue. He jumped out of his seat with a brightly colored face. Thank you, Alice. President Lee Mi-yeon hurriedly left the office after leaving a brief greeting. And she ended up dering a bombshell on camera that day while the world watched. [In the midst of numerous controversies regarding this scenario, as the general manager, I will officially discuss the position of Arcadia Co., Ltd. First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude and respect to all users for their hard work and sacrifices that contributed to sessfully preventing this huge catastrophe.] Starting with thanking the users who participated in this crazy scenario and contributed to preventing it somehow. She talked about the future unfolding in the future without adding or subtracting. [In the future, a scenario simr to this scenario... maybe even more catastrophic may begin. We call those scenarios post-crisis scenarios''. As you may have already guessed... These scenarios are incredibly difficult and require a terrifying and insane level of strategy. And all of them are highly likely to result in the destruction of Arcadia like this one.] Asura... No, there are numerous scenarios nned and set by Min-soo Kim himself. Toward the users who would despair after confronting the scenarios that were tantamount to catastrophes, she clearly began to light the fire of intense desire. [But... these are obviously the stories of the huge axes that make up this Arcadia, and are the remnants of Asura, the owner of the ck Mist, already mentioned in the setting of the world view. For all the disasters that you think will be absolutely impossible to attack, there will be a strategy somewhere, and if you all work together and do your best, you will be able to prevent anything. ] President Lee Mi-yeon. She said it over and over again. [Don''t give up, don''t get frustrated. I hope you do your part to protect this virtual world by doing what you can in your ce under any circumstances. It is for this very moment that you, the adventurers, havee to wander this Arcadia. Whether you are a thief, a merchant, a sculptor, a warrior, or a wizard, you are the warriors who will save this virtual world from destruction.] Give everyone the mission to save this world from Asura''s evil and cruel schemes . While doing so, she officially talked about one thing that no one could deny... that hadn''t been announced anywhere yet. [It is obviously premature and there is a feeling that it is premature, but ording to the great principle of infinite freedom and infinite possibility, the final chapter that has already begun cannot be blocked. Therefore, I dere as the general president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. right here and now. The final main scenario, which was nned from the early stage of developing Arcadia, has begun.] Originally, numerous scenarios that would influence the entire continent of dozens of hundreds of continents had not even blossomed, but due to the insane entricities of some users, the final chapter has already begun. President Lee Mi-yeon. Then she looked at the camera and said with a face mixed with indescribable emotions. [Anyone who protects Arcadia from countless disasters toe and sees the end of this harsh and heartless story will receive a 15% stake in Arcadia as a reward, as promised before.] [ Please I wish all users good luck and hope to save this world from disaster.] Chapter 406 Chapter 406 Prelude to the final chapter (3) [Next news. The remarks made by the general president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. at a press conference are causing great controversy. President Lee Mi-yeon mentioned the demise of Arcadia, a virtual reality game that has recently be very popr, and hinted that the service may be considered for termination depending on the progress of the scenario in the game. In response...] [Dering that the main scenario to announce the final chapter of Arcadia has begun, President Lee Mi-yeon directly mentioned that she would hand over 15% of Arcadia''s shares to the person who yed the most key role. This is an issue announced right after the service was stopped in response to the Japanese government''s retaliatory measures in the past...] [ What is the direction Arcadia Co., Ltd. is pursuing? Why are we nning such dangerous content in the game and not limiting or blocking it? No matter how much thepany is in charge of the operation, I think there is a problem with the attitude of the operator who refuses tomunicate unterally without considering the position of consumers who enjoy the game. ] Unlike the public, who could not hide their embarrassment in the unexpected development and raised various concerns and suspicions, Jae-young, who was facing President Lee Mi-yeon, did not look confused at all. As expected... even the boss didnt have the operating rights in the game, right? The second half crisis scenario that was activated this time. Regarding the cataclysm that would lead to the extinction of the entire continent, she did not use the authority she had as a direct administrator. Rather, it was just a request towards the users. And CEO Lee Mi-yeon answered his question honestly. that''s right. I am also the manager running thispany, and I have no real authority to change the narrative that is taking ce in the game. Everything is created by users who enjoy the game with unlimited freedom and possibilities. All I do is watch. It is an ironic situation that the main body that operates the game cannot intervene or interfere in any way. However, Jae-young nodded as if he understood what President Lee Mi-yeon said. So that''s what you''ve been asking me for so far. Since we cant directly intervene, to indirectly change the direction of the scenario in the game and prevent Arcadia frompletely copsing? that''s right. In a way, it''s true that it''s an expedient, but... it was an inevitable choice for me. Had it been left as it was, Arcadia would probably have fallen into disrepair and perished much earlier than now. It''s a bit mortifying to say that good is good, but I hope you see it as my devoted efforts that can''t be seen without tears to protect thepany. Student Jaeyoung. It''s true that he did something wrong, but as long as the results are good, Lee Mi-yeon, the president, winks her eyes as if it''s a good thing. Jaeyoung asked her as ifining. But why did you do it this time? He didn''t say anything in advance, and he didn''t answer even when I called him... I''m sorry about that. Regarding the crisis scenario in thetter half of this year, President Lee Mi-yeon, who thoroughly distanced himself from Jae-young, went into hiding. However, it was clearly stated that it was an inevitable act against her will. So... you say that even the boss cant intervene recklessly in matters rted to this second-half crisis scenario? The scenario that urred this time is a special scenario that is on a different level than before. You know, having experienced it yourself, it''s absurd and absurd.... yet deadly and very threatening, it''s a scenario that exists only for destruction. And the person who made these... I guess one of the top developers or whatever. ....that''s right. The existence of top developers, which I have already mentioned a few times before. Jae-young, who knew about the existence of the question because President Lee Mi-yeon had said that there were many problems that he could not help due to his authority, muttered with a face of sincere admiration. It seems that the person who is the best developer or something is a real madman..... Well... I hear stories like that often. Kim Min-soo, who is called the most crazy person in the world and is notorious. Recalling that the entire continent is in chaos due to the pile of shit he was about to pack, President Lee Mi-yeon smiled strangely. Anyway, as a result, as I said at the press conference, the second half crisis scenario will continue to start and the threat to destroy this Arcadia will appear repeatedly. And the only person who can y a major role in stopping the process will be Jaeyoung. ...Arent you expecting too much from me? Only I can prevent the destruction of this world. Jaeyoung slightly frowns as if she is not at the age of being full of sensibilities of a second grader and cannot adapt to such cheesy remarks. However, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her head as if she couldn''t help it. I am not happy with the current situation. At least 3 years... no, if thiste crisis scenario had been triggered even 5 yearster, it would have been expected from more people than now. But... the seeds of that cmity sprouted too quickly. A simtion that has already been run hundreds of thousands of times under Alice''s contemtion. In the countless simtions, they searched and searched for those who had the potential to be heroes to save this world, but the results were disastrous. [Scenario No. 334.... Failed.] [Scenario No. 829.... Failed.] [Scenario No. 1234.... failed.] . . . Those who fail to stop Asura''s evil schemes and fall down despite the numerous possibilities. In reality, Arcadia users did not have the capacity to find a strategy that existed somewhere in the world and mobilize all resources to seek a solution. So the conclusion is that the second half crisis scenario like now will continue to happen and no one will be able to stop it. Of course, if I said such a thing in front of the camera, thepany would be destroyed right away, so I didn''t dare to do it... but the situation is more bleak than I thought. President Lee Mi-yeon talks seriously as if to believe in herself. And she held Jaeyoung''s hand tightly and spoke earnestly. But... its very slim, but the possibility certainly exists. Not the tragedy of the destruction of Arcadia, but the possibility of creating a happy ending that can protect billions of users... and the people living in Arcadia and thispany. ..... Please protect this world and create an ending where everyone canugh happily. At this vague and difficult request from her, Jaeyoung didn''t say anything and thought deeply before opening his mouth. Let me ask you one thing. Ask me anything. My hidden ss... is that rted to the top developer? A wandering song in troubled times, the job that Jae-young got by chance. I had no idea before, but now I knew something. [Please do your best to y the game. I''ll watch from the outside, this world you''re going to create.] A yful child''s voice that I heard during the job change process. At that time, it was just a meaningless thing, but it was only now that I realized that the words at that time were sincere. I dont know who the top developer is, but I can tell hes incredibly self-conscious. No matter how much he is the original creator of virtual reality, he pretends to be a god in this way, controls everything as he pleases, and watches the world in the game be chaotic as an interesting spectacle... Jae-young abruptly came to the thought that everything he had done was just someone''s joke and entertainment. And the feeling he felt about it was in displeasure. The more I think about this, the more I get sick of it, right? Anybody? A developer who thoroughly intended and nned only to cause chaos and destruction in Arcadia. As if to show that he was not joking about thinking only of ways to screw users, he frowned as he remembered the aftermath of the things he created and nned. I''m sorry, but I can''t tell you any information about it. It is much more than a Jaeyoung student can imagine. President Lee Mi-yeon said that she couldn''t answer that part either. But she said with her eyes shining in anticipation. But... if student Jaeyoung finishes the final chapter of Arcadia and receives the promised 15% stake... What if I receive it? Then you will know everything. Who is the top developer of thispany and the virtual reality system, and... a huge secret unknown to the world. What do you mean...? President Lee Mi-yeon brings out something meaningful. And when Jaeyoung, who didn''t understand what he was saying, asked again, she muttered with a strange smile. When Japanese intelligence kidnapped students Jaeyoung and Jaekyun, didnt the US Navy directly step in and rescue them? It was... I talked about it for a while, but... did the US really move the 7th Fleet just to save two university students at the risk of diplomatic and military friction with Japan? That''s because at that time Jaekyun was promoting a secret project with the US Department of Defense... Based on the information provided by Arcadia Co., Ltd. matters. He knew that the U.S. government was actively involved because of Jae-gyun''s unique situation, which was participating in the development of the next-generation military training project for the U.S. Army. Infusing military pressure that could threaten the alliance between the two countries because of just one development project? I feel a little sorry for the Jae-gyun student, but no matter how talented he is, he is not a person who can be rescued by taking such a risk. That word... Jae-young noticed the meaning of President Mi-yeon Lee''s words. He tried to open his mouth with a serious face, but she gave the answer first. that''s right. It was all done for Jaeyoung''s sake. Because Jaeyoung was worth the risk even more than that. ...what the hell is that about? Yoon Jae-young, a 22-year-old unfiltered college student. President Lee Mi-yeon said that to herself, who was born in a rural area with nothing special about anything except being good at games, it was worth enduring the diplomatic rtionship between the US and Japan, even if it meant catastrophizing, Jae-young, the person involved in the game, looked so absurd. built Does Jaeyoung like games more than anyone else? No matter how tough and vicious the difficulty is... you have to solve the difficult problem that everyone considers impossible to attack, and eventually find the strategy and find the hidden ending. By using methods that go beyond the developers intentions and imagination. Dex has been praised as a legend in the game world for a long time. Referring to the reputation, President Lee Mi-yeon said to Jae-young, who looked at him with confused eyes. If you want to know the whole truth, try clearing this game. A game of extreme difficulty in which you have to protect a virtual world that is moving toward a definite end of destruction and reach the hidden True Ending. If that happens... You will be able to find out the great secret hidden in this world, including the identity of the top developer. Chapter 407 Chapter 407: Prelude to the final chapter (4) The final chapter of Arcadia that stirred up the world. However, even after President Lee Mi-yeon''s announcement, it was quiet without any change, so public opinion, which had been burning as if it would never be extinguished in less than a month, began to calm down little by little. Hey Jaeyoung. Why are you doing that with such a serious face? After the vacation ended and the first semester of the third year started again, Jaekyun met after a long time. He looked at Jaeyoung, who was staring at somewhere with empty eyes, with a curious look. Do you have any pain? Or is it because school started again? Jae-young, who is usually not interested in everything, but Jae-gyun asks with a slightly worried face because he is silent with a strange atmosphere that is more than that. However, he opened his mouth with a stupid expression at Jaeyoung''s answer that followed. Jaegyun, why am I living? uh....? Jae-young suddenly asks essential questions about life and life. Jaekyun was at a loss for words for a moment at his question that came in without warning, but he said with a puzzled face. Why is that all of a sudden...? Jae-young, who did not particrly worry about life or seriously consider it. Jaekyun felt that something was wrong when he suddenly asked this question. Jaeyoung, did something bad happen...? No...well, it''s not that special... but these days I''m feeling a bit like that..... He is making a liberated expression as if he is detached from everything, as if he is going to die soon. That''s why Jaekyun swallowed his saliva with a nervous face at the thought of an ominous thought and spoke earnestly as his best friend. Ho, if you have any concerns or need help with anything, let me know! I''ll help with anything I can! huh? Jaekyun said it was okay to say anything to him. Then he nced around, then blinked and whispered in a low voice. How are we? Weve been on an aircraft carrier together. ..... Jaekyun emphasizes that they are a special rtionship that no one can follow. However, at Jae-gyun''s words, several thoughts that had recently disturbed him began to resurface in Jae-young''s head. [There is a huge secret hidden in this world that Jaeyoung doesn''t know.] [Jaeyoung is so valuable that the US 7th Fleet can move.] [The developer who created Arcadia.... I nned everything.] Arcadia Co., Ltd., apany that develops and services mankind''s first virtual reality game. People who first encountered the virtual reality created by them were astonished at their overwhelming technology. [To not only fully realize the five human senses, but to be able to build such a vast world with virtual data... This is a technological advance that cannot be guaranteed even after hundreds of years!] Nopany dares to pete Arcadia Co., Ltd. has reigned as an absolute leader in the virtual reality industry, making it impossible to even think of doing it. Since thepany monopolizes all source technologies, it has been a little over 3 years since thepany was founded, but they have grown into globalpanies and have taken root all over the globe. One day, a virtual reality suddenly appeared. Until now, Jae-young had no doubts about that fact, but President Lee Mi-yeon''s subtle stories nted huge doubts in his mind. Could it be that... the developers who created Arcadia are aliens...?'' A hypothesis that gives a usible probability to this absurd situation to dismiss it as an absurd story. And what Jaeyoung felt through his recent experiences was the fact that there are more absurd things happening in this world than he thought. huh? Jaeyoung, why arent you talking? Jae-kyun asks Jae-young with an innocent face that doesn''t know anything. He was the most improbable person Jaeyoung had ever met. [Anyone who participated in the production of the virtual reality version of the League of Legends, Mr. I can''t help but admit my random abilities. Dozens of skilled creators gather to create perfect results that could only take a month of hard work, all while drinking a cup of coffee. The power of implementation created by his infinite imagination is so enormous that no one can follow him.] He has a natural talent for making things so simple that someone can only create them with extreme concentration and a long time. In addition, a contest called Sangsang Daejeon, which was held the other day, put a rocket on Jaekyun''s back. [Artist Lim Jae-kyun, who has a reputation as the best creator born in Korea, announced that he will produce Robot Cat''s Cosmic Invasion 2'' with Mizunisa. Numerous SF fans are enthusiastic about this and are looking forward to the release of various rice cakes that have not been revealed in previous works . that of fame. The world''s interest in him was so crazy that the news of his next film was reported on the terrestrial 9 o''clock news. -Mr Lim.... Is he a god? -Mr. Another masterpiece of arbitrary. I''m going crazy waiting! -Going to the 10th straight run of the robot cat''s space invasion! -Ninja! ninja!!!! Jae-gyun, an ugly real man'' with no sense of humor, has now been reborn as a genius creator who receives the love and attention of the public. Even that alone was a staggering and stuffy reality to Jaeyoung, but there was something even more absurd than that. Jaegyun! I''m here. uh? Is Chaeyeon here? You said you might be a littlete, but did youe before ss? I know. Luckily the buses right away. What? So, where shall we go after todays lecture? Um... theres a very popr restaurant ahead of you, do you want to go there? Is that so? Jae-kyun''s official girlfriend, Chae-yeon. Right before winter break, she caused a lot of trouble by dragging his hand in front of everyone and leaving the campus. Jae-young and other motives, including Jae-gyun, who watched the scene so naturally, held Jae-kyun''s hand and talked, struggling with unbearable doubts and a sense of alienation. Why on earth...?'' A guy like that has a girlfriend, so why am I...'' My taste is really unique.'' Beauty and the Beast...or is it Pig and Beauty...?'' Chaeyeon is not very pretty, but she is popr with many people because of her above-average appearance and easy-going and friendly personality. On the other hand, Jae-gyun, who is fat, ugly, and has no discernible eyes, irritates everyone. It was abination that would never seem to suit them, but somehow the two of them decided to go out together and were roasting lots of sesame seeds. And seeing the two of them, Jaeyoung seriously thought about it. Maybe it makes more sense that aliens exist...? Truly, the existence of Jaegyun, who seemed to have given away the odds. Somehow, just by looking at him, it seemed more probable that the entity that actually created and operated Arcadia was a group of aliens from far away space. hmm? What does that mean? Are you an alien? No nothing. Jaekyun tilts his head with a puzzled look on his face as if he heard him talking to himself. However, Jaeyoung smiled and shook his head as if it was nothing. So... wont you tell me too? What the hell are you worried about? Jae-gyun urges him toe back to the main topic and tell him what he is thinking. And at his words, Chaeyeon looked at Jaeyoung with curious eyes and asked. huh? what''s the matter? Jaeyoung, do you have any concerns? uh. I''ve been holding weight with a serious expression ever since. A bit different than usual. okay....? Jaeyoung is...? Chae-yeon nces at Jae-young as if very unexpected. Of course, what Jaeyoung always showed to others was serenity. He doesn''t show any emotions with a troublesome expression under any circumstances. Although he didn''t talk often, Chaeyeon didn''t worry or worry about a lot of things, so Chaeyeon was a little awkward, but she said to Jaeyoung seriously. For what? If there''s anything you can tell us, tell us. They say hard work will be given in half if shared, right? that''s right! Listen carefully to Chaeyeon''s concerns. It helped me a lot too. no way. what am i It was just that youcked a bit of confidence. No! If Chaeyeon wasnt you, I probably wouldnt have made the decision to make the second part of thatst film. Why is that a fucking movie? Are you just having fun? Hehe..... ah what..... I''d appreciate it if you could say that again. Also, Jaeyoung sighed deeply and talked about her worries, as if she would not be able to see the two people who were making love for each other and salting others. The game has be boring. Arcadia, a game that I devoted most of my personal time to and fell in love with. However, while solving a series of cases, Jae-young felt strange emotions creeping into his heart little by little. emptiness. boring. pointless. Why are you paying so much attention to the virtual world, which is just a bunch of data made up of numbers, and working so hard? And why should he struggle to protect this world from destruction? As questions and thoughts increased in my head, the fun I felt while ying Arcadia began to fade. Andtely, Jaeyoung has been strangely unable to reach the capsule. what....? Is that... a concern? And Jae-kyun and Chae-yeon show conflicting reactions to his confession. Unlike Jaekyun, who was frozen with a shocked face, Chaeyeon told Jaeyoung a simple solution as if it was nothing. Then you can just fold it. If you''re tired of the game you''re ying, can''t you just stop ying? hey! no! What if he quits the game? huh? Why can''t I...? Chae-yeon frowned as if she couldn''t understand Jae-kyun, who freaked out when he was told to quit the game. And at that moment, Jae-kyun realized that she didn''t know Jae-young''s identity and started talking nonsense. Uh... so that''s... Jae-gyun said something he couldn''t quite understand. Ignoring him, Chae-yeon looked at Jae-young and said seriously. Well... you might get tired of the game. Jaeyoung, I dont know how much you enjoyed the game, but if youve been ying for a long time, shouldnt you take a break from time to time? That''s true... Come to think of it, Jaeyoung spent time online from the first day Arcadia opened until now, unless there was something special going on. So, looking back, it was true that there was nothing special about him that he had experienced in real life. You have a word like this? The older you get, the more people have to pay attention to the present life. It is true that virtual reality is developing and many people are spending more time in virtual reality, but I think reality is still as important as it used to be. Live in reality... you mean? Chae-yeon gave him sincere advice with a face that said it was nothing to Jae-young, who was sensitive like a stormy period while going through a sage time. You dont know? If you live a busy life, maybe your passion for games wille back? I mean stop ying the game for a second. Chapter 408 Chapter 408 Intern (1) School days in Korea, where students always strive to study and fall into endlesspetition. Until then, most of them devoted themselves to studying, falling into the rosy fantasy that they could y freely in college, but in reality this was not the case. [This one-room studio is the best among Daehakro around. The monthly rent is 60. Isn''t this expensive? Even if you go to another ce, there is no such price at this level.] [Kuhmm..... I''ll rece this final exam with group assignments. The topic is quite difficult, so let''s join forces and work hard.] [The tuition is 5 million won per semester? Are these guys really crazy? Why is it so expensive?] Young and poor college students who are forced to work part-time when they think of the monthly rent, college tuition, and living expenses, which are insanely expensive. As a result, most of them had to live a busy life without taking a full day of rest. But... even after graduating from college, it was not so easy to live in a society that became increasingly deste and heartless. Do you know how hard it is to find a job these days? You can''t just get a decent grade. You say you have to have something special that is different from other guys? Overseas Volunteer Language Performance Contest Prize-winning performance Internship experience..... In addition to that,panies seeking talents demanding numerous resumes and job seekers struggling among countlesspetitors to catch their eye. It was a grievance and concern that any young generation in Korea could rte to, but in fact, it was a problem that Jaeyoung had never thought about before. Its an internship program... the deadline is today, but how did the timing fit so well? Seomin University''s industry-university cooperation system, which I learned about through Chae-yeon''s rmendation to think about the future. As always, it was a promotional material posted on the bulletin board of the department that I passed by without thinking, but this time I was examining the contents of the poster with more serious eyes than ever. [Ourpany wants talent just like you!] Promotional material that looks like a parody of an advertisement about seeking military resources to enlist in the war. However, Jaeyoung checked the briefly written application and nodded as if it wasn''t bad and murmured. I can apply for the third year.... The targetpanies are better than I thought... Seomin University, whose status has risen dramatically in recent years. As a university leading the development of talent in the virtual reality industry, it received enormous support from numerouspanies, so most of thepanies listed in the internship program were full of ces where you could tell just by saying their name. In particr, in the case of Jaeyoung, whose application target was Virtual Reality Engineering, the perks were enormous. -For the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, priority is given to selection. -Applied in connection with the selection of special recruitment for future talents rted to virtual reality. -Study during the semester and work during vacation! Establishment of a college student new employee program. Virtual reality industry, which has recently brought a huge buzz to the business world and is blowing a hot wind. They seemed to radiate a passion to tantly bury theirpany to the bone, probably due to the fiercepetition to recruit relevant talents all over the world. Is this why... is our department going crazy...? It''s not just a joke, it''s really a public university that has risen to the level of entering the best university in Korea. Of course, the subject was limited to the Virtual Reality Engineering Department, but the fact that they would receive an annual sry of 100 million won and an unconditional job guarantee upon graduation was tempting the candidates. Well... I don''t intend to even join thepany... but it wouldn''t be bad to experience it at least once. Jaeyoung had never done anything that could be called a social life. He submitted an application in anticipation that it would be a different experience because he had lived a passive life in a limited human rtionship, confined to his room without doing a part-time job properly. Not as Arcadia''s Dex, but as Yoon Jae-young, an undergraduate student in the third year of virtual reality engineering. * * * The moment Jae-young tries to take a step forward in reality for a variety of experiences. A divinity that exists in Arcadia and a glorious Aspect representing the heavens. Archangel Michael has been acting independently for the first time in a while. what? What kind of stranger are youing to me with something to do? A green-haired girl who exudes a hostile spirit with ferocious eyes as soon as she sees her. However, Michael did not react hastily despite his attitude on such a day, but rather lowered his stance and carefully brought up the story. I didnte here to fight, so I hope you dont be so vignt. joy. Why didn''t you bring that baby bat with you this time? Rumor has it that the two of them get along very well these days, right? Mentioning Tan, the world tree turns its head to and fro and examines the surroundings. However, he brought up a story with a slightly serious expression to her who wasughing slightly as if teasing. Did you see it too? The future that will unfold in this Arcadia? The future that wille to Arcadia. Unlike other normal NPCs, these two had the right to ess the information that Alice contemtes, analyzes, and predicts the entire continent. [Divine authority causalw.] [Divine authority Indrawork.] The two are not perfect, but can get a glimpse of the future ending in this setting of omniscience bestowed by their father. In the countless futures divided into hundreds and thousands of diverging points, everything El and the world tree looked at came to one conclusion. end of the world. end. Everything in the brilliant civilization will be destroyed and only traces of ruins will remain, countless lives that once prospered will all bleed and fall, and even those with transcendental divinity will be deprived of all their powers and will eventually reach extinction like eternal death. ending. Knowing the terrible future, the World Tree hardened his face at El''s question and spoke bluntly. So what do you want me to do? The World Tree grumbled as if he already knew it, and spoke in a frustrated tone. Arent you and I both in a position where we cant do anything anyway? From the moment of birth, transcendent divinity and power are innate, and at the same time, as long as you are constrained by an inescapable mission, you cannot change the narrative that has already been set. In that narrative, we are just puppets following the given role. You shouldnt even try to change that, and you cant anyway. Even if the narrative is their own extinction, those who have to adapt to it. Since there was no such thing as a choice in the first ce, the World Tree frowned and said to El. If it were possible, you and that bat would have been kicked out of Arcadia from the very beginning, beaten by my root attack and wept bitterly? Those who have great power but do not have the freedom to wield it as they please. That''s why the World Tree spoke to L with a slightly sad face. Just give up. No matter how much I resist, if the owner of the ck Mist returns to Arcadia again, no one can stop it. Its the ending and destiny that was decided from the moment of creation. Asura, a being born with the destiny of destroying this world. Knowing that his resurrection was imminent, the World Tree felt almost resigned, but El questioned with sharp eyes while nodding his head as if agreeing with the words of the World Tree. I agree to a certain extent. But I want to say that you are wrong when you say that you cannot change that fate. what....? Do you know why I''ve been stuck here in Arcadia all this time, putting up with that fucking bat bastard? A contractor who I thought was just a little special human being. However, there was one fact that El clearly realized in the narrative and causality of Arcadia, which raged like a storm in his progress. It was because I could clearly feel the potential of an adventurer. A person''s fate, which was clearly decided, canpletely twist the narrative of a city, country, or continent, and turn it into apletely new story and apletely opposite ending... A force close to reverse. An adventurer who rejects a predestined destiny, pioneers a future for himself, and writes apletely new story. And Jaeyoung was the one who most powerfully changed the fate of Arcadia. I understand why my father brought adventurers from the other world to Arcadia. If only they had that adventurer, Dexra, they might defeat Asura and bringplete peace and stability to this Arcadia. L saw new possibilities and hopes through him. So, taking advantage of the gap when Jaeyoung was away, she came to the world tree and talked about her thoughts seriously. So what the hell do you want from me? The World Tree is still a bit skeptical. However, seeing her paying attention to some extent, El said in a calm voice. Recently, there has been quite a bit of movement in your faction, which has been observed all over Arcadia. The high elves, an ancient race, have been resurrected, and many ns of the forest are gathering in the realm of the World Tree, led by that adventurer. Elven Kingdom, a mighty force that protected the World Tree andmanded the continent in the past. The World Tree didn''t deny it to El, who smiled strangely as if he knew everything about her n to rebuild it. ....so? I think I know why. Even if the moment of destructiones, are you preparing yourself for a final stand without retreating? To fulfill her mission as the only divinity remaining on the continent of Arcadia and the mother of all life. ..... L said with a warm gaze to the World Tree, who kept his mouth shut, as if he knew everything about her devoted efforts even without words. Me too... No, even Heaven wants to add strength at that moment. what....? As if genuinely surprised by those words, the world tree opened its mouth and asked back. But El said as if it was natural. It is also Heaven''s mission to protect Arcadia from destruction. It is a duty that I have to do, but isn''t there a time when I have to join hands with others to confront a huge enemy that Heaven cannot handle alone? ...You know how hypocritical you are when you say that, right? The world tree looks at it with absurd eyes, wondering what the yer who destroyed most of the continent of Arcadia with a torch and destroyed to a level close to destruction, iming to purify evil someday. However, L held out his hand lightly as if telling him not to dwell on the past and spoke boldly. Hold hands with Heaven, Mother of all things. The high heavenly torch will do its best to protect this Arcadia. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. There are no permanent enemies and no permanent allies. At L''s proposal to shake off past bad ties and join hands under the heartless logic of international politics, World Tree pondered for a moment, then let out a deep sigh and joined hands. ...Something is very unreliable...but I''ll pretend I''m being deceived and believe it. You wont regret that choice. A bteral alliance between chicken and saplings with the goal of protecting Arcadia. And L smiled brightly as soon as the alliance was signed. I''m saying this because we''re allies now... Because of the recent incident, the situation in Heaven is a bit difficult, right? The pope was killed by that bastard bat, the Holy Land was corrupt, and the Holy Kingdoms were fighting each other for position, fighting each other... L suddenly startedmenting about the difficult situation. The World Tree, who had been silently listening to herint, stopped talking and asked with a momentum that did not know that it would end. ...Tell me about it. What do you want to say? Could you... lend me some probabilities? ...? I will pay you back soon. Weve been doing too much worktely, so our pockets are a bit tight. The head of the chicken cubs whoughed and asked to borrow some probability. Seeing here to join forces and end up tearing away the probability, the world tree was reminded again. It means that chicken chicks, who pretend to be good and just, but are smart, petty, and just roll their hair, are more vicious than bat chicks who have a dirty temper but are still ignorant. Chapter 409 Chapter 409 Intern (2) A corporation that provides a variety of goods and services and seeks profits ordingly, an essential producer in modern society based on capitalism. A huge and irresistible wave of change has recently been spreading among thesepanies, which are struggling to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost. - Existing gamepanies going down. 82% have already closed their businesses or switched industries. - The decline of the tourism industry. The cause is the emergence of a metaverse based on virtual reality. - Rich and diversified content industry. Securing excellent IP and creators is the key. Virtual reality technology has had a near-devastating impact on many entertainment-rtedpanies, including the previously popr gaming and tourism industries. Therefore,panies that rejected the innovation and did not jump on the trend of change and stuck to the existing method experienced an unbelievable decline in sales and were immediately eliminated from rted industries. [Virtual reality is a huge paradigm shift that cannot be avoided as apany. Billions of consumers around the world have already adapted to virtual reality, and future consumers will be familiar with it as well. There is no future forpanies that reject that huge market and innovation.] [The public enjoys a break and tours in the Fantastic Universe created by Mizuni. I also subscribe to Webflix to see contents with excellent visual beauty created based on lucid dream, and visit the huge Wilmart store in virtual reality and shop at home.] Everything is implemented in virtual reality and begins to quickly rece reality . world. That''s why, regardless of specific industries,panies that are known for themselves have begun to pursue numerous projects with the ambition to introduce virtual reality. And the department that Jaeyoung, who applied for an internship at the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering, entered was also closely rted to virtual reality. Yeah... You said you came from the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering at Seomin University? A middle-aged man looking at Jae-young''s personal history with an eye that is quite interesting. ncing at the name and position written on his ne, Jaeyoung nodded. yes. Yes..... I am Park Jin-tae, general manager of KG Electronics'' virtual reality division. It''s the person you''ll be working with in the future, so remember your face and name well. All right. He has the appearance of a typical old man office worker with a bulging stomach and a swollen face. Jaeyoung felt a bit burdened by his kind actions that were a bit burdensome, but he finished his first greeting with him and other people in the same department without showing any signs. Enough of the face-to-face ..... Get details and handovers rted to work from Assistant Manager Go Dong-ho over there. He''s your shooter and he''s the person in charge of what you''re going to do, so he''ll be the most helpful. After that, Manager Park Jin-tae waved his hand and asked to go. And then, assistant manager Go Dong-ho, who had a sharp look, approached and began to tell Jae-young all kinds of things. In conclusion, what you and I have to do in this department is to n a project that can be applied to ourpany in rtion to virtual reality and do what is necessary to ensure that it runs smoothly without any problems in the process of promoting it. You have to be a kind of all-around yer. Hmm... I think I know how it feels. Well, dont worry too much. You''re an intern anyway, so you won''t be asked to do anything so important, so just do what you''re told to do, don''t make mistakes and do it well. Normally, you''d be in charge of chores like taking meeting minutes and copying documents. All I have to do is lend a hand little by little to the busy team members. All right. Then how can I help you? Then can you make 30 copies of this document first? All on both sides. yes. I''ll start right away. Assistant manager Dongho Koh said that he had nothing to worry about other than chores. And as he said, Jae-young''s intern life was very smooth. Departure at 9:00 in the morning. 12 noon lunch. Get off work at 6pm. Repeated daily life that rolls like a treadmill at set times. In the first ce, it seemed that he did not expect much, perhaps because it was a short-term intern at a college student for three months, but it was KG Electronics, argepany thatpeted with Ajin Electronics, a world-leading electronicspany, for the No. was not at all Even an office worker should be able to do this, but... Unlike when ying games, a strange sense of aplishment and pride came over me. Jae-young, who realized the value ofbor for the first time, began to think seriously about the future. Should I choose an ordinarypanyter and get a job?'' Jae-young, who already has such a ruinous level of wealth that he can''t use it even if he spends his whole life. Jaeyoung enjoyed this moment even though he did not have to work for the rest of his life because he ate up the thousands of trillion won of secret funds hidden by the CCP. Rather than being treated as a rich unemployed, its best to just live a normal life like this. Jae-young imagines herself getting a job at a suitablepany and receiving a sry without worrying about money. He was experiencing the daily life he had exactly dreamed of, who always pursued a normal and quiet life without standing out. Apany that works 5 days a week and leaves on time. Of course, it was possible because he was an intern, but Jaeyoung, who fell into the idea that thepany was not as bad as he thought, looked at the dust that settled on the capsule installed on one side of his room. Come to think of it... Its already been over a month... Its been a month since thest ess to the game. Jae-young, who applied for an internship and was epted right away, took part in KG Electronics'' intern training program and all sorts of misceneous things and left it unattended to start work. I checked the current status of the game from time to time through Arfandia, but I hadn''t logged in even once because nothing special happened. Are those guys doing well...? Jae-young thinks of Tan and L with a curious expression since it is the first time he has been away this far, except when he was kidnapped by the Japanese intelligence agency. And soon, while he was away, he smiled as he imagined the two beings wielding a fist the size of that small fist and fighting fiercely. See you after the internship period. Even though they are NPCs in the game, Jae-young feels like a close friend after spending a long time together. However, since he was really enjoying his intern life now, he pondered for a moment before taking his hand off the capsule andying down on the bed, closing his eyes. Wake up early tomorrow morning to go to work. * * * Arcadia Co., Ltd. is in charge of all virtual reality technologies, including Arcadia''s services. Hundreds of thousands ofpanies knock on the door of Arcadia Co., Ltd. every day, angry consumers make a fuss over the phone for some reason, and reporters trying to find even a story somehow roam thispany, where every day is a break. It was literally like a battlefield. Huh... Im really going to die after dering the final chapter or something. Hey, dont talk. Since the boss mentioned that Arcadia could be destroyed, the Ministry of Information and Communication is just a harpoon. They say callse from all over the ce without stopping. How about the CS side? The public affairs department is still gentlemanly, but the general consumerints are just wild, wild. I don''t know where only the barbarian bastards are gathered and why they are so foul-mouthed. Is it true that allints have to be filed in the legal team? I wonder why they keep saying the same thing even when they say it''s an issue that we don''t even know about ..... Is it that you dont even n or investigate to some extent and your mind is really at the level of do it, to the point where you have the urge to kill? In-house alumni meeting of Arcadia Co., Ltd. A ce for employees from various departments to express their grievances. They openly talked about the shitty things about theirpany life, gossiped about their bosses, and relieved their umted stress. And then, someone brought up a story about President Lee Mi-yeon. Hey, boss, why are you doing this these days? Its low pressure every time we meet. uh? that''s right. I ran into him in the hallway the other day and said hello, but he passed by very coldly. The other day, my department suddenly came and said something. Because of that, our general manager, even today, was walking around with apletely shit-chewed expression, so I was really dying to notice. CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who usually walks around with a smile on her face and faces the employees brightly. Although she throws all sorts of shit at work and makes everyone shocked by her more extreme and crazier ideas than anyone else, she is still rumored to be a humane and warm-hearted person. However, in the past month, she has suddenly turned into an extraordinary viin. Why did you suddenly start acting so arrogantly and hysterically? So. Has anything happened recently? Isnt it because of that final chapter or something? no. Right after it was announced, there were no problems. Other than that, I guess. Have you ever been in trouble at the board of directors...? Everyone doesn''t know why, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon is upset about something. However, an employee who was quietly listening to their story told a meaningful story with a cautious face. When I see it, its not that hes angry... he looks like hes nervous about something. what....? There is such a person. If you get nervous and angry without realizing it when you are nervous and anxious. From what I''ve seen, the boss seems to be in that kind of situation. I am worried and anxious and do not know what to do. At that, everyone gave the same puzzled expression and tilted their heads. And after that, all sorts of assumptions and spections were poured out among them, but no one could find out why President Lee Mi-yeon suddenly changed. ...Ellis, how was your day? A dark night after everyone has been off work. However, as she sat in her office, biting her nails with her long teeth, President Lee Mi-yeon, with a face full of nervousness, asked Ellis the same question she had been asking over and over again. [Same as before. There is no y history for that user today.] Jaeyoung, who had been ying Arcadia every day for a long time. He was so immersed in the game that an expert immediately diagnosed him as a serious game addict, but one day, when he suddenly stopped ying Arcadia, President Lee Mi-yeon felt nervous as time passed. why....? Why suddenly...?'' President Lee Mi-yeon looked closely at hisst y history through Ellis, wondering if there was something wrong. However, she could not find a specific cause even after looking at it several times. Cant I just go and ask Alice? She feels like she wants to visit right away and ask her directly. However, with Ellis''s strong advice, he tried to suppress that urge. [The action of going directly to the yer is analyzed to be counterproductive with a high probability considering the yer''s disposition. Rebellious... To be more precise, it is a user with a tendency like a tree frog. I think it''s best to just give time and wait without saying anything.] Elise''s advice is to just watch and wait as if waiting for a prey toe, rather than putting firewood into a dying ember. That''s why she bit her nails with a nervous face today, waiting for the moment of disaster like a ticking time bomb. I''m going crazy, really..... An intern who dares to make the general president of Arcadia feel anxious and nervous. However, he was sleeping peacefully with a peaceful face ignoring the world without knowing such a fact. While casting push and pull without even knowing it. Chapter 410 Chapter 410 Interns are too strong (1) KG Electronics, the secondrgestpany in Korea''s business world. At one time, theypeted fiercely with Ajin Electronics and struggled to dominate the domestic market. While Ajin Electronics develops and produces cutting-edge products such as the G-series of smartphones and the Dreamer, KG Electronics focuses more on basic white goods. So these days, quarterly sales and operating profit are far behind in terms of growth. The home appliance business does not leave much profit due to limited demand and fiercerpetition than expected. That''s why they were looking for a way out in a slightly unusual way. So, most fundamentally, our department is focused on reducing costs. It is a strategy to increase distribution margins by producing and selling products as efficiently as possible based on virtual reality. You can think of it roughly as simr to online shopping. Deputy Dong-ho Koh organizes the materials used in the meeting with Jae-young. The title of the meeting, written inrge letters, caught his eye. [Virtual reality home appliance shopping mall - KG Land n] A huge virtual shopping mall that gathers all electronic products produced by KG Electronics in one ce. A n to build a system in virtual reality where, when people try the machines themselves and decide to purchase, the order is immediately ced through theputer and delivered all at once. As it was already being pursued by many retailers, including Wilmart, Jaeyoung nodded as if he knew it well. Im sure the cost wille down a lot. yes. The cost of going to the dealerships spread across the country is staggering. Even if it''s the cost of purchasing a site or renting a building, the cost of stocking up and running salespeople... uhh... don''t even talk about it. KG stores are scattered throughout each major city. However, recently, the number of direct visits to stores and purchases has been rapidly decreasing, so the deficit was increasing to a serious level day by day. However, at his words, Jaeyoung tilted his head as if he was a little puzzled. By the way, why were there so many high-pitched voices during the meeting earlier? Everyone seemed upset. A ce where all the people in charge, including Park Jin-tae, gathered together. However, the atmosphere of the meeting was much more difficult than expected. That''s why Assistant Manager Koh Dong-ho sighed deeply and looked at Jae-young with serious eyes and said, I dont know about you, but... there are people who have sharply divided interests in this project. Interesting...? Inside thepany that intern Jae-young does not know about. Assistant Manager Koh Dong-ho took a quick look at the surroundings, and then briefly began to exin why Goseong came and went in the meeting room. The sales director is fiercely opposing the promotion of this project. Even so, it is too risky topletely or drastically downsize domestic and foreign sales departments. The strong argument of the sales part that sales outlets should continue to exist even if people do not step into the store in reality. However, ording to assistant manager Koh Dong-ho, they did not protest simply for that reason. The justification is usible, but this issue is actually close to a battle for management rights. Its a situation where we are fighting a war of nerves to take control of KG Electronics and not to lose the initiative in each others domain. Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who is in charge of all domestic and overseas sales parts. Managing Director Kim Young-chan, who ns thepany''s future business strategy and innovative foods. Although they are brothers of the same blood, they were born as Korean conglomerates and were destined to fight each other over the session of thepany. That''s why fierce battles were going on inside thepany to try to cut off each other''s influence through various agendas. First of all, our virtual reality department is in the line of managing director Kim Yeong-chan. If this project is promoted in earnest, there is no choice but to drastically reduce the scale of the sales line or reshuffle personnel. Probably, the size of the overseas business team will be drastically reduced, and then managing director Kim Young-jin will end up having a good one-shot. Deputy Assistant Manager Dong-ho Koh''s story about a project that will be a trump card that will significantly reduce the influence of his rival, Executive Director Kim Young-jin, in thepany. Jaeyoung, who heard gossip about this political fight within thepany that he would never have known about if he hadn''t interned, replied with aplicated face. It is difficult. It wasn''t just a simple project, was it? Well... Allpanies are like that. But don''t be too conscious. Anyway, you and I are just interns at the agency. We just have to do what we are told to do or work hard. It''s not like they''re going to copse anyway, and they''re both children of conglomerates, so why would they starve on the street? Deputy manager Goh Dong-ho smiles and taps stacks of papers on his desk, as if we''re not the ones to worry about anyway. He was startled by manager Park Jin-taes yelling from outside the meeting room, and left Jae-young alone and rushed out. Go Dong-ho! Go Dong-ho! Where is this child? yes! I am here! Jae-young, who was left alone to finish things off. And while he was sorting out the pile of paperwork that was still full, he soon found a memo scrawled on a piece of paper and read it carefully out of curiosity. - Arcadia Co., Ltd. Very uncooperative stance regarding project promotion. - Continuous persuasion of the person in charge is required. Securing professional manpower and technical cooperation are essential. -Looking for ways to securepetent creators..... . . . I don''t know who wrote it, but it''s a memo written about the problems that arose in the course of the project and the main tasks to be solved. And Jaeyoung, who looked down at it for a moment, smiled and murmured. Dont even do that. How do you care about a project like this when the wholepany is on fire right now? Jae-young, who regrly visited Arcadia''s office building. Just a month ago, I visited thepany to talk face-to-face with President Lee Mi-yeon, so I knew their current situation and the atmosphere in thepany better than anyone else. The second half crisis scenario begins, and all general work is suspended to understand and respond to the contents rted to it, but of course the person in charge is uncooperative. Issues that all employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are working on throughout thepany, regardless of which department is in charge. They could not have weed the KG electrons who came with such misceneous tasks in the internal situation where they were going through extreme pain in the crucible of confusion and madness. Well... it''s none of my business. Jaeyoung is just a college student intern anyway. Competition for management control or conflicts with outsidepanies is the homework of high-ranking people, so he put the meeting materials into the shredder while humming a song. Without paying any attention to the fierce and dirty office politics and strife going on out there. * * * Quaang. Those damn bastards! Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who attended a meeting held by the virtual reality division. Unable to control his boiling anger, he kicked the door violently with his foot and growled. A drastic cut in the sales force? A reduction in fixed costs? Do you dare to fuck me with just a big deal? The n of the virtual reality business department to cut the entire sales department into more than half, iming to seek management innovation. No matter how loyal the business was for thepany, it was a content that he could not ept well as he was actually hit hard. You are my baby. You''re the head of sales general manager, and you don''t know that, and you don''t know it, and you stay still like an idiot. Isnt this kind of talking out because your performance is all messed up? General Manager Heo Wan-jae, who is in charge of sales departments, the closest aide to Executive Director Kim Young-jin and the core line. He lowered his head, as if he had no face even after being hit by a pile of papers flying in his face. Im sorry, manager. We also tried to improve our performance by doing our best, but... Recently, with arge amount of goodsing in from China, weunched a low-priced offensive... White goods that can create products. Therefore, in order not to lose out in pricepetition with Chinesepanies, marketing such as superrge discounts and free gifts was carried out, and performance continued to decline. therefore! Don''t you have to jump on your feet to make up for it? Is it that hard to get those customers to buy some stuff? What do you do if you sell a lot by cutting the price like that? Shouldn''t you move your mind and make them buy it as expensive as possible! Anyway, it can''t be helped that ignorant bastards who haven''t learned anything are ipetent... The head of the division''s face immediately twitched at the words of Executive Director Kim Yeong-jin, who didn''t jump directly into sales and started talking like a desk discussion. However, he managed his expression in an instant and opened his mouth cautiously. Regarding performance, I will definitely manage more. And I think you''ll be fine if you don''t worry too much about that project. Didn''t the boss also make a reservation because he didn''t make an urate judgment? Kim Young-hoe, president of KG Electronics, withheld judgment for now because nothing hase out urately yet. Upon mentioning him, Executive Director Kim Young-jin muttered with his cold eyes shining. Hey, how can you believe what that old man says? If you think it''s okay again after this, I''m sure you''ll take that bastard''s side right away. President Kim Young-hoe, who will make a decision to empower his younger brother, Managing Director Kim Young-chan, if he knows that he is going to suffer a fatal blow, but he thinks he will benefit. However, his neutral attitude was disliked by Executive Director Kim Young-jin. Isnt thepany supposed to be inherited by me, the eldest son? I don''t know why you keep making himpete like this, saying you have to give him a chance too. Isn''t it? He doesn''t like his father who keeps looking at his younger brother over himself, the eldest son. However, general manager Heo Wan-jae forced himself to answer with a slightly confused expression. That''s right. Maybe it''s because the president doesn''t want to talk behind his backter, or because he has thoughts with the executive director in mind. No matter what anyone says, the sales part is the key. Thergest and most influential department within thepany. Therefore, it was true that Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who oversees the sticky and huge line, clearly had the upper hand in the fight for session of management rights. But even so, he wasn''t vignt or conceited at all. You never know. What kind of tricks will that fox-like bastard do if he wants to take control of the business? Since childhood, he has beenpared to his younger brother, who showed onlypetent appearances in various fields, and struggled to avoid being pushed out. Therefore, in order to prevent an unexpected situation, Executive Director Kim Young-jin said with a cold look. Could you... find out some information about the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd.? You mean Arcadia employees...? What kind of information are you talking about... When asked what he wanted to know, Executive Director Kim Young-jin said a few things. And after hearing that, the general manager''s face turned into a more puzzled expression. Why are you trying to find out about that... Look into it once. Because I have something in mind. He muttered to himself, smiling as if he were plotting something sinister. Rather than sprinkling ashes on finished rice, it''s definitely better to sprinkle ashes from the time you wash the rice. Chapter 411 Chapter 411 Interns are too strong (2) Arcadia employees suffering from heavy workload. No one dared to think of resigning due to the huge welfare benefits and unparalleled annual sry, but in fact, the working environment at thispany was the worst. Irresponsible boss and calls pouring in from all over the ce. There''s even a system where the taffy seller keeps changing things at will. None of them were friendly to the employees, so there were a lot of difficulties in handling the work, but they were even more likely to die because of the recent incident. And to relieve the stress they receive from work, they instinctively moved to a restaurant located in the alley right in front of them after work. [Jaesun''s Marinated Ribs] A barbecue restaurant located near the headquarters of Arcadia Co., Ltd. The reputation that the taste is good at a reasonable price spread through word of mouth, and at some point, this restaurant became the exclusive restaurant for the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. In the restaurant, with the sound of meat sizzling over briquette fires reverberating here and there and the delicious smell wafting out, they were huddled together and chatting with each other in a lively atmosphere. Ugh... I really cant do it, chief. that''s right. No, those slimes weren''t even designed by us, so why are you asking us to submit a report on the rted changes? If that''s the case, what about us? I havent even created a crisis scenario or anything like that, so what does it mean to bring supplementary measures and future countermeasures in rtion to that? Ah... I''m busy writing research papers, so why do you want us to apply for aint call? Boss, Ill have a drink here. Let''s get it..... Employees from each department gather together to have a dinner. So if we really break that final scenario or something, would you give us 15% of ourpany? Why are you asking me that? I don''t know. Hey, you work on the Crisis Management Response Team. Anything to say there? Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon was alsoughing while watching the live broadcast with us. What... Hey, so thats what thepany I was coborating with this time... Reporters, one more time, my personal number If you call me, I''ll sue you for a real privacyw vition. So... the manager then... A space of peace where you can talk about all sorts of things with like-minded motives or friends and unravel the lumps in your heart. Suddenly, uninvited guests, whom we have never seen before, appeared in a rush in a space that was like a resting ce for the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Ughhhhh~. Are you here? Madame! Is there room for about 10 people here? Boss! Please sit here! here! Please spread six servings of meat for each table and bring plenty of alcohol! A bunch of guys who have already been drunk from where they came from. Even if they tried not to pay attention, they had no choice but to give it to them, so they chose only what the so-called truth would do. hey! I''m the youngest! Sing a song coolly in front of our manager! ruler! Attention everyone. Our manager will tell you something! Ugh. this bastard! hey! Why are you so drunk already? do not lie down This is a restaurant! Uninvited guests lying on the floor and falling asleep singing strange songs that they couldn''t bear to listen to, and making a fuss with each other with excitement. It was an instant that the eyes of the employees who were interested in an outsider who suddenly appeared in the restaurant where most of the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were stained with displeasure. Those people... why are they like this...? I see... It looks like a dinner party, but its already tasted like that, no matter what time it is? It''s only 8 o''clock in the evening, but if anyone sees them, they look like they''ve already had a binge until dawn. And in their mouths, one word was repeated over and over again. Our retail store ranked first in sales this quarter among all domestic and overseas branches of KG Electronics! The CEO of KG Electronics... Huh? Do you know what I said when I was a new employee? KG Electronics..... Apany that is repeatedly mentioned in a loud voice as if to be heard. KG Electronics. That moment when many people frown on their nonsensical behavior. Suddenly, a man with a stern look who had been drinking loudly began to argue with the table next to him. hey. Why are you looking at me like that? The dining table of Arcadia Design & Development Team. There, an employee nced sideways at them and identally met their eyes. The man who approached him and questioned him with a fishy smile as he looked at him with a stiff face and his mouth closed. Why are you looking at me with such bad eyes? What''s wrong with us drinking? yes? When do you think I saw you? What are you not seeing? They obviously made eye contact with me. The table cooled down in no time. While everyone was staring with stiff faces, Manager Yang Min-hyeok nced at the man''s colleagues. One... they''re all the same guys.'' All of them are watching this scene with curious eyes, giggling at what kind of interesting spectacle it is. Manager Yang Min-hyeok sighed inwardly as he saw that he had no intention of stopping his colleague, and handed over his apology as gently as possible. Sorry for this. It seems our staff was rude. I''ll apologize on your behalf, so it''ll ease your mood. In a situation where there are many other employees, Manager Yang Min-hyeok bows his head and apologizes because he doesn''t want to go to the cubicle for nothing. However, despite receiving an apology, the drunkard suddenly shed bloody eyes and spoke sternly. What are you interfering with? this bastard. ..... He hardened his face when he came out hostile while swearing. However, the drunkard''s colleagues cheered as they watched this scene. Hey. Our Minsik really has one temper. Hahaha. Since ancient times, a man must have spirit to do business! We dont have money, dont we have Gao? A group of people who rushed right away, bowed their heads and apologized, and even apuded with excitement at a situation where it would not be enough even if they dragged their fellow employees. Director Yang Min-hyeok, who was sitting still, dumbfounded as he watched the appearances of those who could not be understood with hismon sense, suddenly felt a strong forcee into his neck. uh? What are you! did i ask you X rice that doesnt even seem like a handful. This person...! A drunkard who suddenly rushes in and grabs himself by the cor and shakes him roughly. Surprised by his sudden action, his colleagues and several Arcadia employees approached and tried to stop the fight, but it backfired tremendously. These bastards...? Guys! Are they flocking there in droves? hey! Who are you to touch this deputy? Ill show you the spiciness of KG Electronics! Come on! Cudangdangtang. Clink. The restaurant became a mess due to a gang fight that broke out in an instant. Food such as meat and side dishes are scattered on the floor, and pieces of broken bottles and bowls are flying all over the ce. And the vivid photos of all those scenes were identally taken by a reporter who was enjoying a meal there, and decorated the newspapers and news the next morning. [Employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. having a gang fight after drinking. Discipline is serious.] * * * Normally, the media andpanies are close to a symbiotic rtionship. Companies who want to write articles in a tone favorable to them. It wasmon for them to maintain amicable rtionships by providing reporters with information that could be used for gathering, and also by hanging advertisements on paper, and benefiting from both sides, but Arcadia was an exception. [We do not ept requests for interviews at all. For inquiries, contact the Public Information Department.] [I don''t know. I don''t know. You don''t know!] [How did you get my number and call me? Do you really want to sue?] [You know this is not an interview, it''s just stalking...?] Arcadia Co., Ltd. is apany with global influence and is receiving the attention of all media. That''s why even a single decent article has an enormous ripple effect, so reporters trying to find something to steal are wandering around, but they didn''t show any favors at all. The employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. keep their mouth shut and do not provide any information. That''s why this gang fight incident was arge-scale controversy that appeared in an instant, and all kinds of media outlets clung to it, chewing, biting, and tasting it repeatedly. [At around 8:00 yesterday evening, there was a report that the executives and employees of Arcadia, a world-ss virtual realitypany, had a gang fight in a restaurant. The owner of the restaurant exined that there was a quarrel with customers at other tables during a peaceful dinner. The traces seen in the video show how fiercely the fight took ce.] -The restaurant owner''s heart was broken like a broken wine bottle. - Arcadia Co., Ltd. Unusual employee abuse issue? - Controversy over the morality of Arcadia employees. And thanks to that, it went directly to the ears of President Lee Mi-yeon, who was drinking morning coffee. Did you see the news today, Executive Director? yes. I saw. As if he had already grasped all the circumstances, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han responded immediately to President Lee Mi-yeon''s answer. He started to exin the situation in as much detail as he could, as if he didn''t want to offend her, who had been hysterical and irritated recently and had reached the limit of sensitivity. So... you mean it happened when the design and development team identally got into a fight with drunken people they didn''t know at a dinner party? yes. Rted information has already been confirmed through employees in other departments. All of them said they did nothing wrong. ....is it so....? A situation where it is clear that the other side is at fault no matter who hears it. That''s why President Lee Mi-yeon had a slightly ufortable expression, but in rtion to him, he did not make any more of an issue. I understand that the fight was just a trivial drunkards dispute... How could such a trivial incident even get published like this? A group of reporters happened to be eating at the restaurant. It was sote in the evening, so I thought it was strange, so I looked it up separately, but he said he was one of the reporters who often wandered around thepany building for coverage. A situation where he was identally caught by a hyena that was wandering in search of news. There was no particr problem, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon warned as if she didn''t like this situation, where people were already talking about Arcadia on TV and news articles. Well... I can''t help it with what happened, so I''ll move on this time, but tell me to refrain from drinking parties or drinking parties near thepany for the time being. In the future, if the act of creating controversy and ruining thepany image recurs in this way, I will not stand by. All right. President Lee Mi-yeon coldly res at her, as if asking her to try it one more time. Then, he said in passing to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who lowered his head in disappointment. So the opponents you fought with are the KG Electronics personnel? Yeah... I can figure it out by something like that. It''s not a problem betweenpanies, it''s a quarrel between employees. He had no intention of protesting about it, but Lee Mi-yeon, the president, muttered lightly, clicking his tongue without thinking about it. Looking at the employees, I can tell what thepany is like without even looking at it. I understand, so go and work. That''s how KG Electronics got stuck with a lot of hate. As apany, to the executives and staff of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who absolutely have to bow their heads and bow down in order to survive. Chapter 412 Chapter 412 The intern is too strong (3) A quarrel broke out between Arcadia and the employees of KG Electronics. It was just a problem that could be passed over as a small deviation of each employee, but when it became a special feature in the media, this incident became not just a trivial problem. Quaang. Youngjin Kim! What are you doing! Young-chan Kim, the managing director, kicks in the door and enters the office with a red-hot face as if he is very angry. However, the face of Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who greeted him, was full ofposure. How dare you call your brother by his first name so rudely? this is thepany Wake. Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who scolds his younger brother for his rude behavior and acts like a bold older brother. And he asked, not taking his eyes off the report he was busy reviewing. Why did youe to me so excited in the morning? Is something going on? ...Are you going to get away with it in this situation? Managing Director Kim Yeong-chan snarled, looking at him as if he was dumbfounded at his shameless attitude when he asked as if he had no idea what the reason was. He questioned, roughly setting today''s newspaper down on the desk. This... is your work? A news article that very poignantly exposes the gang fight between the employees of KG Electronics and Arcadia Co., Ltd. Executive Director Kim Yeong-jin, who had been reading it carefully, pushed the newspaper away with a smile as if it was nothing. I dont know. You said that right now... Managing Director Kim Young-chan questioned him with a stern face as if he couldnt believe his brothers words, who denied it. However, at his words, Executive Director Kim Young-jin questioned with a very calm face. Looking at the article roughly, it seems that some of the branch employees had an ident, but why do you say that it is my work? If so, would you do such a thing for me and thepany? That''s it, if the virtual reality business I''m promoting goes sessfully, my brother''s position will be... Managing Director Kim Young-chan, who almost unknowingly revealed his feelings in the midst of excitement. However, when he kept his mouth shut with a panicked face, Executive Director Kim Young-jin smiled and asked, as if making fun of him. My wear? what is my position Are you promoting that KG Land or something to diminish my influence within thepany? ...Everything is being pursued for the benefit of thepany. Managing Director Kim Young-chan protests that he is doing everything for thepany, perhaps because he cannot bear to deny it. However, at his words, Executive Director Kim Yeong-jin smiled and muttered cynically. Dont be silly, little brother. I dont know about the future, but right now you and I seem to be focusing more on other things than the profits of thispany. ..... Whilepeting to inherit the management rights of thepany. No matter what kind of damage he took, winning the war was the priority, so he could not refute his brother''s words. ...If I knew my father was doing these dirty tricks, he wouldn''t just let it go. Hey, is there any proof that I ordered it? Again, I waspletely unaware of the details until you told me. For example, Executive Director Kim Young-jin muttered with a confident face as if to tell me. He looked back at the report as if he wasn''t interested. Don''t worry about the handling of this case. Employees who have caused damage to thepany will be punished ording to the procedure without any leniency, so dont worry. He smirked when he said that he would take the lead in punishing the employees involved even before making the request. Rather than that... Rather than arguing with me by raising such a ridiculous conspiracy theory, shouldn''t we be doing a good job with the business first? It was as if he was trying to rectify the ashes he had scattered. * * * Park Jin-tae, general manager of KG Electronics'' virtual reality division, and Koh Dong-ho, assistant manager. These two went straight to Arcadia on a business trip without even going to work in an emergency that suddenly broke out in the morning. Oh, my manager. What is this? Manager Yang Min-hyeok, who had a blue bruise in his eye, as if he had been hit properly. Even though the two of them bent down in a low posture after bringing an expensive drink, the eyes around him were cold. ..... Manager Yang Min-hyeok doesnt say anything and just sits still and maintains a cold attitude. Manager Park Jin-tae carefully apologized to him. Our staff made a big mistake without knowing anything. I would like to apologize from the bottom of my heart on my behalf. I''m really sorry. His department had nothing to do with KG Electronics'' sales team, but the two bowed their heads first, knowing that the atmosphere would not work even if they exined it in detail. However, in a situation where less than half a day had passed since the incident, his anger was too great to subside with a word of apology. Manager Park Jin-tae... Do you know where I was before I went to work here? yes....? That... That''s... He blurted out his words with a look of bewilderment at the sudden question. However, Manager Yang Min-hyeok continued to speak alone as if he had not meant to hear an answer. I was at the police station. I was going to end the day with a pleasant dinner, but I was beaten for no reason, and for the first time in my life, I was taken away in a police car and even wrote an investigation report. Well... there were a lot of witnesses, so he was released without any charges against him... but after the work was over, it was time to go to work. Manager Yang Min-hyeok went straight to work after leaving the police station without being able to sleep. With a tired look on his face, he asked, looking at the two people who couldn''t say anything and were sweating profusely. I know you two have nothing to do with yesterdays incident... but did you expect me to tell you that its okay right now? the ball is the ball. thepany that lives No matter how much it is said that public affairs and private feelings must be separated, as a human being, Yang Min-hyeok could never forgive KG Electronics. Thats it... As soon as I came to thepany this morning, the managing director called me. Do you know how much I was humiliated yesterday because of those non-humans...? Even as he speaks, his lips tremble as if he is trying to hold back his anger. Manager Park Jin-tae and assistant manager Koh Dong-ho were at a loss as they saw Yang Min-hyeok, who was like a time bomb that was about to explode at any moment. For the time being, the KG Electronics project will be temporarily suspended. yes....? Deputy manager please, thats all...! Manager Yang Min-hyeok replied that he would discuss it positively even until thest meeting. However, the two of them were stunned by his appearance, which seemed to havepletely turned around. Im going to tell you right now so that you dont walk in vain over and over again. I apologize to you two, but the most important thing about using Lucid Dream is a rxed atmosphere where creators can let their imaginations run wild. But right now, it seems that no one in the design & development team can feelfortable with KG Electronics'' projects. ..... KG Electronics, who hated everyone at yesterday''s dinner party. Since they were employees who had firsthand experience of the tyranny of the ignorant and rude people, they didn''t say anything, but they were looking at the two with unkind eyes from their respective seats. And the decisions I make are not my own. Yesterday''s incident had already been reported to the upper management, and to be honest, it didn''t show a very pleasant reaction. Concerns have also been raised about promoting such a joint project in a situation where the names of bothpanies have already been extensively mentioned in the media. As a result, guidelines have been issued to refrain from promoting outside businesses for a while. The breakdown of the rtionship of trust between thepany and thepany. When Manager Yang Min-hyeok said that they would never be able to recover this, the two felt that this issue would not end with just the two of them apologizing. It''s over.....'' The sales team''s bastards.... they had an ident.....'' Two people with white faces. However, Manager Yang Min-hyeok stood up from his seat as if he had nothing more to say and issued a congrattory order. We will send an official letter regarding the position of the head office. Personally, I will ept the apology you just made, so I hope you don''t take such a cumbersome step again. The two looked at him in bewilderment as he tried to turn around after the notice to stop business in the future. They were hesitant, thinking seriously about whether they should hold on to the crotch of their trousers. And at that moment, a familiar voice came from behind them. Chief, deputy. uh....? Why are you here...? A new intern wearing a neat suit and holding a briefcase in one hand. Jaeyoung Yoon. The two smiled brightly and looked at the approaching man with a puzzled expression, but Jaeyoung waved the paper bag in one hand and said, The conductor sent it. He told me that he seemed to have gone without taking any documents because he was so careless, and told me to take them just in case. uh....? Ah..... A document envelope with the big title KG Land written on it. Director Park Jin-tae, who epted it without hesitation, was shocked by the surrounding situation. uh? Is Jaeyoung here? and! How much is this? how have you been doing? Why are you wearing a suit again? Is there something important going on? Why dont youe to y like this these days? What about Jaekyun? Inside the office, where until just a moment ago there had been only chilly silence in such a threatening atmosphere. However, with Jaeyoung''s appearance, Arcadia''s staff and general manager Yang Min-hyeok, who greeted each other with a bright smile and a warm face, stopped the thought circuit of the twopletely. Ah, student Jaeyoung is here? Your boss. I heard the news. Are you okay? No, what... You stepped on poop unluckily. Still, you must have been very upset. I heard the boss said something too? Heh heh... have you already heard such rumors...? Ah, well... even while we were here, we were whispering here and there. Huh... what can I do? You have to be quiet for a while so as not to stand out. Still, wouldnt it be enough for the manager to get over it right away? The boss is still lenient on things like this. Manager Park Jin-tae and Assistant Manager Koh Dong-ho freeze as they see Jae-yeong showing a friendly rtionship like an uncle and nephew against manager Yang Min-hyeok, who had not been able to breathe properly until recently. Seeing these two standing with dumb faces, Manager Yang Min-hyeok looked sideways at the thick paper bag that they hadn''t had in their hands until just now, and asked with a puzzled look. Rather than that... Jaeyoung, do you two know each other? What is that paper bag from earlier? Jae-young, who alwayses in and out of thepany infortable clothes, shows up in a suit. He noticed that something was wrong and heard an unexpected answer from Jaeyoung. Oh, I recently started an internship. what....? Intern....? yes. Seomin University has a program that reces one semester with an internship. I applied as soon as the semester started, and now I''ve been doing it for a little over a month. The office became quiet for an instant. Manager Yang Min-hyeok, who had been staring at Jae-young with a nk face as if the ident had stopped, with faces simr to those of Manager Park Jin-tae and assistant manager Ko Dong-ho, soon opened his mouth with a curious nce. No way...then thepany you work for is... Jaeyoung, realizing what the question was, replied with a smile before he finished speaking. yes. I am working temporarily at KG Electronics. ..... ..... Working as an intern at KG Electronics, where they just dered not to see each other again and issued a congrattory order. Jaeyoung Yoon. Yang Min-hyeok, who noticed roughly how the situation was going, sighed deeply and spoke to the two blinking eyes. A while ago...what did you say about the project you wanted to discuss with us? Finishing up the quick stance change that even Udyr would cry about. Chapter 413 Chapter 413 The intern is too strong (4) First of all, I understand the details of the business. It is an issue that we also need to review internally, so lets leave it at that much for today. ah! yes! sure! Once the promotion is confirmed, the person in charge will contact you separately. I will arrange to send you a standard sample of the relevant contract, so please review it with yourpany. In the past, no matter how many people came to them, they only showed a lukewarm response, as if they were not listening properly. However, Park Jin-tae''s mouth widened to the side as if it were going to tear at the appearance of those who were more active than ever, saying that they would send rted documents and contracts without even asking for it. Um...but... Yes. Anything else you''re curious about? Manager Yang Min-hyeok is about to get up from his seat while organizing the paperwork. Holding onto him, Manager Park Jin-tae hesitated as if he was a little cautious. Yoon Jae-young....that intern who came and went for a short time..... Yes. Why Jaeyoung? Manager Yang Min-hyeok called each other by name casually as if they were close to each other. Director Park Jin-tae asked with his eyes shining at his attitude. How do you know if you know each other...? How do you know each other...? Yes..... Thepany never talked about such a private matter, so I didn''t know at all. I was surprised how much I was surprised to see that the manager and the other office staff were so happy to see each other..... heh heh heh..... Manager Park Jin-tae blurted out his words with an awkward smile. However, in response to his question, Manager Yang Min-hyeok said with an expressionless face. I hope you wont ask such personal questions, manager. yes....? The atmosphere changed in an instant to be chilly. Yang Min-hyeok asked with a puzzled face at the spirit of Manager Yang Min-hyeok, who had clearly changed from before and seemed to have gotten worse. He is just a friend who has a deep rtionship with me and our department. Other than that, I don''t think I have anything else to say. I see. If the question offended you... I apologize. He hurriedly apologizes, breaking out in a cold sweat, as if he had touched the wrong side. However, Manager Yang Min-hyeok waved his hand as if to say not to worry. no. Rather... KG Electronics is very lucky. yes....? You took that friend in as an intern. I''m not a friend who would just do something like that. What is that...? One of Korea''s most prestigious conglomerates and apany that everyone is eager to join. KG Electronics. It was difficult for him to understand Yang Min-hyeok''s words as he boasted a fiercepetition rate to the extent that hundreds of people applied for even one internship position. Is Jaeyoung... that good at his job...? Deputy Assistant Manager Koh Dong-ho was quietly listening to the story. He asked, recalling memories of the new intern he had watched for a short period of less than a month. Certainly... it seems like he did well on his own when he was asked to do it once...'' Unlike other interns, Jae-young never shows his temper. His appearance of doing everything perfectly as he was told was like a model of an exemry intern. Are you good at your job...? Manager Yang Min-hyeok smiled without knowing whether his words were absurd. And he remembered Jaeyoung, who had cleaned up the poop he had packed so simply and easily. [ruler. Let''s run like crazy for incentives and reward vacations.] [Have you done this yet? are you okay. You can ask someone else to do it for you.] [Um..... Manager, why don''t you do it this way rather than that?] In one hand, a huge and bulky carrot that can never be denied. In the other hand, a whip that makes you go crazy just by brushing against it. Fantastic directing that exudes admiration while being vicious by wielding the two mboyantly and allowing all employees to squeeze out everyst drop to the limit that they don''t know, beyond mobilizing 100% of their capabilities. If it wasn''t for him, Yang Min-hyeok said with a confident face that he knew better than anyone else that he would have already packed up and left thepany, branded as the worst manager for ruining a superrge project. Its because Im so good at it. He''s too good to have as an intern. Uhm..... ..... Arcadia Co., Ltd. is said to have gathered only the incredible elites. The two swallow the silence with indescribable expressions, wondering what kind of monster the intern the manager of there is so highly praised is. However, I tilted my head at the meaningful words of Manager Yang Min-hyeok that followed. I dont know how long the internship will be, but please treat me well for the rest of the time. If you touch it wrong, something like yesterday will happen that cannot bepared. What is that...? He didn''t seem to understand what exactly he meant, but Manager Yang Min-hyeok just smiled bitterly and kept his mouth shut. A bteral contractual rtionship that benefits each other knowingly or unknowingly and mutually benefitting each other. Secret Friend. It was because there was no reason to brag about the secret rtionship between the general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and the intern at KG Electronics in front of people from otherpanies. * * * Kim Young-chan, managing director of KG Electronics'' Strategic nning Office. When he heard the report of the virtual reality division''s results from his visit to Arcadia Co., Ltd. through his secretary, he looked back in disbelief. Is that true? Did Arcadia just decide to work on it? yes. Arcadia Co., Ltd., which obviously showed a lukewarm response to KG Electronics'' project promotion. Even if it wasn''t a disgrace like yesterday, it was a business that was drifting in difficulties in the first ce, but it waspletely iprehensible that they suddenly changed their attitude actively. There''s no way that would have happened... Are you saying that thepany won''t respond in any way even though it happened yesterday? It seems like that, but... Listening to Manager Park Jin-tae''s story, there seems to be a little bit of uncertainty. What''s unclear...? Managing Director Kim Young-chan, who was informed in detail about the incident through the mouth of his secretary. And he asked again with a stupid expression on his face. A short-term intern working at ourpany was close to the Arcadia employees...? ording to reports, they were so friendly that they felt like uncle and nephew. Huh..... Here is the interns application form and personal information. The secretary handed several pieces of paper to Managing Director Kim Young-chan, who seemed at a loss for words with a face full of disbelief. Managing Director Kim Young-chan, who took the documents he was handing over and looked at them quietly for a long time, soon opened his mouth as if he was dumbfounded. What is this....? Very clean papers. Compared to the interns and job applicants he had seen so far, there was nothing shabbypared to the overly thick papers filled with letters. Yoon Jae-young... in the 3rd year of Seomin University... do you have anything else besides that? The owner of a clean career with no records of volunteer activities or club activities, let alone external activities ornguage proficiency. At this level, there was absolutely no chance of him being selected as an intern at KG Electronics, beating out so manypetitors, so he looked over the documents once again with a frown. Grades are decent, but at least at this level... How the heck did you pick the intern? An unbelievable situation where a project that almost copsed thanks to an intern is miraculously revived and is about to proceed at a faster pace than before. So he asked with curious eyes shining. I need to find out a little more about the details, but... once it was confirmed by the person in charge, there was a strong request... no rmendation from Seomin University. suggestion....? yes. I know that the person in charge of human resources is not up to the standards on paper because I am a student strongly rmended by Professor Kim Tae-hoon, but I still can''t help but notice that professor... Regarding virtual reality, Korea''s top authority and a superstar in the academic world Professor Kim Tae-hoon, who has the same status. As KG Electronics, which wants to get involved in various businesses rted to virtual reality, was absolutely not allowed to go out of sight, Managing Director Kim Young-chan nodded as if he knew. This means that Professor Kim Tae-hun personally put this friend into ourpany as an intern. why....? No matter how much he teaches, Professor Kim Tae-hoon puts him in as an intern at KG Electronics, even taking the risk of being misunderstood for improper solicitation. Considering his reputation, this was a hasty action, so managing director Kim Young-chan tilted his head as if he couldn''t understand it at all. I''ll try to find out a little more about that and report back to you, but... He seems to be quite a talented person. Yeah... Whatever it is, it''s fortunate for us that we were able to change Arcadia''s mind thanks to that intern. More than that... the line on the part of the managing director, Kim Young-jin, is unusual. What else is going on there? I''m going to call an executive meeting. They seem to insist on makingrge-scale investments to open up new markets for the future of KG Electronics. At this timing...? I don''t know when this was nned, but as soon as the project he was pushing for was in danger, Executive Director Kim Young-jin was eager to bring out another new project. As if he had foreseen this situation, managing director Kim Young-chan''s face hardened coldly at his older brother''s actions. Are we going to have a proper battle for management control...? I guess so. The fact that our project hasnt died yet... dont you know that? yes. No one will know except for the employees of the virtual reality division. Information that has not yet spread within thepany. As if he remembered something after a moment of thought, he gave instructions to his secretary with his eyes shining. Then... tell the staff there to crack down on their mouths. If others ask, tell them that the project has been discontinued, and from now on, all reports will be made only to me. You mean secretly...? The secretary asked with a strange expression as if she noticed his thoughts. And Managing Director Kim Young-chan nodded and replied. okay. They''re trying to hit us in the back of the head right there, but can''t we just suffer like this? I think it''s an intention to disgrace me in front of my father... I have to return it as it is. Managing Director Kim Young-chan, whoughs at his own failures and proposes a new business n, tries to use his brother''s stage as the main character to stand in front of the executives as an opportunity to announce that his project has been sessfullypleted. When the secretary nodded and left the office, he suddenly picked up the papers on the desk again. And then, as if it were absurd, heughed and muttered. Huh.... Truly..... He''s such a bold friend... The motive for applying is written in less than 5 lines. Unlike the documents of other applicants, which were filled with absurd and exaggerated information such as grand ideals and aspirations at KG Electronics, Jaeyoung''s writing could be easily condensed into one sentence. School life is boring, but somehow it looks interesting, so I''m applying.'' Jae-Young''s application seems insincere, but still very sincere. He looked at the column where his hobbies and specialties were written, and immediately shook his head as if there was nothing more to look at and put the paper down. Won... If it wasn''t for Professor Taehoon Kim, I''d have dropped out of the document right away. Hobbies and specialties that are cliche, but still allow you to roughly grasp the applicant''s tendencies. Unlike other applicants who always write down noble hobbies and specialties without being honest, Jae-young proudly wrote down the things the HR manager disliked most with enthusiasm. Hobbies - Gaming Specialty - Games He said that what he likes and does best in the world is games. Chapter 414 Chapter 414 The intern is too strong (5) Virtual reality division of KG Electronics. When the project, which had been drifting for almost half a year, was suddenly carried out in an instant, they began to work every day with urgency. yes. The recruitment of designers necessary for production has beenpleted. No, we are thinking about 4,000 models that we are thinking of implementing. A budget request? I think I sent you an e-mail the other day... Wait a minute. Yes, boss. No, that''s not what I mean..... Managing Director Kim Young-chan''s life-and-death project is pursued with the goal of expanding the sales market to the world and innovatively reducing costs. KG Land, a superrgeprehensive home appliance store tform based on virtual reality. In the process of promoting this, Manager Park Jin-tae and Assistant Manager Koh Dong-ho could understand Manager Yang Min-hyeok''s words of overly praising Jae-young, who was just an intern. Manager, I have organized all the materials rted to the product catalog to be sold to Arcadia Co., Ltd. uh....? This is the material I asked for from Assistant Manager Kang...? When did you do more than that? Assistant Kang Ha-yul was too busy with other work, so he asked me. Uhhh... yeah...? It was quite a lot, but I had a hard time..... What? Is there anything else you would like me to do? He does whatever he is told to do and finishes it perfectly without any ws. In addition, the work processing speed was also faster than expected, sopared to other employees, it was serving at least two servings. Hey Jaeyoung..... are you busy right now...? Jaeyoung! Can you send me the report? Jaeyoung~ Im sorry, but can I ask you a favor...? It wasn''t long before the work ability was morepetent than expected, and the entire department started to hand over their work one by one to a single intern. It was a level of work that would not be strange for a normal intern to run away crying and saying he couldn''t do it a long time ago, but he didn''t say anything regretful and silently handled the tasks that were handed over to him. What kind of intern is that...?'' And Park Jin-tae, who watched the scene quietly, groaned inwardly. He is showing an image that ispletely different from hismon sense, having already brought in and sent out interns dozens of times. In fact, to put it bluntly, interns were not very necessary within the department. Copying documents, cleaning the office, tidying up the kitchen, running coffee errands, recing the water purifier... Other than that, ordinary interns who do only minor chores. Unlike those who do mediocre things that are nice to have but don''t have, Jaeyoung has be an indispensable being, taking care of the work of employees in the department and taking on the role of a kind of fixer. Is this why we said we were lucky to have this friend as an intern...?'' Minhyuk Yang, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd., seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart. Director Park Jin-tae, who was immersed in his own thoughts while recalling his story, suddenly saw a person breaking into the office and jumped up from his seat in amazement. Sa manager? Kim Young-chan, managing director of the virtual reality division. When he appeared without warning, the entire office fell silent, and then everyone stood up and bowed their heads. Ah... everyone has a lot of trouble. I just stopped by after passing by for a while, so dont mind me and see what everyone else is doing. Managing Director Kim Young-chan waved his hand as if it was no big deal and told him to do what he was doing. The staff, who had been hesitantly paying attention to his words, began to sit down one by one. And soon, he cautiously said to Manager Park Jin-tae, who had a puzzled expression on his face as if he did not know why. That... intern friend. yes. Intern Jaeyoung Yoon? Oh yeah. I would like to talk to you for a moment. Could youe to my office with me? yes....? Oh, I see. When the managing director suddenlyes to ask for a talk with the intern, he asks back with an absurd face. However, he soon lowered his head and replied that he knew. Is it because of this project...?'' Director Park Jin-tae, who had already thought that he would be interested in the above because of his report on the intern. He didn''t know the reason for the sudden call, but he didn''t think much of it and headed to the office of Managing Director Kim Yeong-chan with Jae-young. ah. Come in and sit there. He greets the two with a wee look. And then, starting with the weather, we started talking to Jaeyoung, asking all sorts of trivial and misceneous questions. what....?'' Managing Director Kim Yeong-chan, who only talks to the intern, leaving himself like a sack of barley. A strange sense of dj vu began to linger in Jin-tae Park''s heart because he was not the one to waste time talking about nothing. Your intern application is unique. It was so interesting that I directed my secretary to find out because of my personal curiosity. Confession of managing director Kim Young-chan who suddenly jumped in after talking about all sorts of misceneous things. Jaeyoung, who looked at him so proudly saying that he had done some background investigation, was silent for a moment, then smiled brightly and asked. Did you do a background check on me? A question that is smiling but strangely thorny. Although it was not something that a mere intern would dare to do in front of an executive, managing director Kim Yeong-chan smiled broadly and apologized as if he wasn''t offended at all. haha. I''m sincerely sorry if it offends you. I never had any bad intentions. It was just a personal curiosity. So... did you find out anything about me? Jaeyoung asks with her eyes shining as if she is interested. And to him, Managing Director Kim Young-chan replied with a deep smile. of course. A friend with a pretty unique history. As he talked about the information he had confirmed at Seomin University through his secretary, he nced at Jaeyoung with a very unexpected look. I heard that the synchro rate is the highest in the world? Thanks to that, I was selected as an industry-academia cooperation schrship student at Arcadia Co., Ltd. and periodically visited thepany to help with various researches... He talks about the superficial information known to Seomin University. Even that alone made Manager Park Jin-tae''s eyes wide as if they were going to pop out, but he shouted in surprise at the words that followed. World-renowned creator Mr. Im and I are best friends. yes....? What does that mean...? A genius creator who enjoys an enormous influence all over the world. Mr. lim. Surprised by the word that he was best friends with him, Manager Park Jin-tae looked at Jae-young with a face of disbelief and muttered. I can''t believe it... so... so... so it was like that... He seemed to have a very close rtionship with Arcadia''s design & development team staff. Manager Park Jin-tae, who was talking to himself as if he could understand the reactions at the time. Jaeyoung looked at the two of them quietly, relieved inwardly. Fortunately, I don''t seem to know anything other than the rumors that spread at school...'' He didn''t want to get involved in troublesome things. However, managing director Kim Yeong-chan was trying to expect more from Jae-young than now. So that''s why... Now that I know about you, I called because I wanted to make a proposal myself. Do you have any thoughts of wanting to work for mypany... no, under me? Under the manager? If you ept, I will hire you as a full-time employee right now, not as an intern. It''s okay to go to work whenever possible until you graduate from school. I know you haven''t been to the military yet... but if you want that, I can clean it up without any problems. If you want money, I can take care of it separately so you wont regret it. Promising to give you anything you want, his eyes glowing with deep desire and he whispered sweetly. If I take control of this KG Electronics... no, the entire KG Group, you will live a life you will never regret. I promise. An offer that no ordinary person would refuse. However, Jaeyoung never belonged to the category of mediocrity. Hmm... Im a bit fussy about the military, but honestly, Im not very interested in anything else. sorry. Money was already held at the level of wealth of a country, not an individual. When ites to fame, there are already millions of perverted stalkers everywhere and nowhere. When ites to power, he has an enormous person behind him who is iparable to managing director Kim Young-chan in front of him. It was an offer that had nothing to be tempted by, so Jaeyoung refused with a single knife. I''m just an intern who is faithful to what I''m told to do''. Nothing more, nothing less. I see... He says that he will only do his part as a short-term intern for three months and leave. However, as if he expected to be rejected, managing director Kim Yeong-chan had a slightly regretful expression, but soon gave up neatly and epted. Im so sorry. If there were talented people like you, KG Electronics could have grown much more in the future. All the other people besides me were outstanding talents. Heh heh heh. is it....? After that, managing director Kim Young-chan didn''t talk about anything other than idle chatter. On the way out of his office and back to the office, Park Jin-tae and Jae-young ran into unexpected guests. Oh hello! Managing Director! ..... Managing Director Kim Young-jin, who was walking from the other end of the hallway with a frown as if something was very ufortable. Manager Park Jin-tae was startled and lowered his head, but he kept his mouth shut and passed them by without saying anything. Phew..... Since he was standing in theplete opposite line with Executive Director Kim Young-jin, Manager Park Jin-tae felt very ufortable just facing him. Fortunately, nothing happened and he tried to go back to the office with a sigh of relief at the behavior of the managing director. But... Ah. wait for a sec. Executive Director Kim Young-jin suddenly grabs the two from behind. And he looked at Manager Park Jin-tae with cold eyes and asked. I wondered who it was, but it turned out to be someone from the Virtual Reality Division. Ah... yes. My name is Park Jin-tae. okay. I think I heard that the project has been put on hold due to something bad recently... Is this okay? No, well... so much... The enemy said that they met on a single wooden bridge, and as if they had met well, he nced up and down here and there, looked at his liver, and asked a few questions. And he spoke with a fishy smile to Manager Park Jin-tae, who was sweating hard and struggling to get over it. My advice would be not to put so much effort into something that will fail. Instead of devoting yourself to thepany, you have to pay more attention to your family and work while doing some hobbies, otherwise you will copse quickly. An unconventional executive who gives realistic advice to do the right thing in thepany. In addition to that, Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who was giving advice and mocking the ipetence of him and Managing Director Kim Young-chan to the level of humiliation, was ted as if he was sure of his victory. The most important thing is that if you know that the string you are holding is rotten, you need the courage to let it go. Otherwise, in the end, you will have no choice but to fall. Ah... yes. I will listen. If you n to change linester, please contact me separately. Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who repeatedly threatened and appeased manager Park Jin-tae, who behaved with a smile even in a situation where he was cursing himself. He suddenly looked at a young employee who was watching this conversation with a strange look and asked. Who is that friend? ah. This is a college student intern who joined our department. Ah... was it an intern? Managing Director Kim Young-jin nodded as if he finally understood his youthful appearance. However, he soon widened his eyes and felt a strange displeasure at the arrogant attitude of the intern who was facing him directly without bowing his head. On the subject of internship... Why are you so confident?'' He didn''t do anything wrong, but his expression, eyes, and confident energy radiating from his body seemed so baseless to him. That''s why Kim Young-jin, executive director, opened his mouth by changing his target to a college student intern while demonstrating his kkondae skills. By the way... why do you look so stiff? Don''t you even know how to say hello? Chapter 415 Chapter 415: Interns are too strong (6) Beings that you inevitably encounter in your social life. Kkondae. It was easy to find in any organization those who did not bend their pride and thought only their thoughts were right, and tried to force them on others and dominate with all kinds of authority. In my time. Try, try. These days, young friends won..... Hey, how do you talk back to seniors in a arrogant way? Regardless of age or gender, beings who somehow try to press down and dominate those below them by putting their status and authority first. These monsters were enormous enough that their jaws would drop open just by the power and defeat theymitted, but the more frightening thing was that they themselves were not even aware of it. Do you know how well I take care of the people below me? Even if you look at it like this, my dad is a very humorous person in thepany. If you joke once, the office will be full ofughter? These days, employees dont even have the basics if you just watch them. Do you think I have to teach you the spacing and paragraph width one by one? I don''t know what the hell I learned in college... Those who don''t even realize how notorious a viin they are, and pride themselves on doing their part as superiors. And Kim Young-jin, executive director, must have been one of those kkondaes. Be careful going forward. I''m still a college student, so I''m going over this level, but if I were a full-time employee, it would have been very difficult. For a long time, he gave a long speech about the attitude and etiquette to have when meeting a superior at thepany. Basic personality education and school life.... Even talking about home education, he could have been angry because he was almost at a level close to a pad lip, but Jae-young did not show any reaction. yes. I will be careful in the future. He replied that he would be careful with a smile. When there was no reaction to his insulting remark that even a hand p makes a sound, executive director Kim Young-jin licked his lips. Okay... then youll be busy, so go back and do your business. Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who licks his lips for a moment, then turns his back and goes somewhere. Manager Park Jin-tae, who was looking at Jae-young, who was only looking at his back, swallowed his saliva and asked, feeling the anxiety that suddenly overtook him. Hey... Jaeyoung, are you okay? He forcibly caught all kinds of faults over trivial matters that seemed nothing to him. Of course, the target was the only all-around intern with a connection to Arcadia Co., Ltd. in KG Electronics, which was absolutely indispensable, so he couldn''t help but feel nervous. Oh I''m fine. Well, all bosses at work are like that. That... isnt it? The managing director is a little... that''s right. Director Park Jin-tae responds with an awkward smile when he sees Jae-young talking calmly as if nothing is wrong at all. However, Jae-young''s meaningful question began to subtly change his expression. So... is he just apetitor fighting for ownership of this KG Electronics? what....? Manager Park Jin-tae looks at Jae-young, who seems to already know everything about the structure of the intrapany political fight inside KG Electronics, with startled eyes. However, Jaeyoung responded with a smile at his gaze. Do you think I have no ears to hear? Everyone is already noisy with rted stories both inside and outside the department. what. Rumors are circting that the business that almost went wrong this time was also worked on by the executive director earlier because of a faction fight. Confidentiality leaking out from all over thepany openly. It wasn''t something to brag about proudly, so no one would openly talk about it in front of him as an intern, but Jaeyoung had already known a lot about the subject for a long time. Deputy assistant manager Go Dong-ho told me a few times before... but I didn''t know that we were in such an open confrontation. Didn''t you say that you and the manager were brothers earlier? ...Even if they''re brothers, there''s nothing they can do about it. It''s a position where you have no choice but to bite it if you don''t bite it first. Since he was born as a child of a chaebol family in Korea, his fate is unavoidable. Jae-young, who had briefly experienced the ugly and dirty mud fight fiercely fought to be the sessor of thepany, thought of something in silence, thenughed and muttered. Its fun. what....? Manager Park Jin-tae listened carefully to his self-talk. He nced at Jaeyoung with a puzzled face and asked. it''s nothing. More... is this project really that important? To the extent that the managing director called me separately and offered me a scout like this, and the rival managing director started a childish war of nerves with the manager like this? ...it must be important. It is a matter of who will take the advantageous initiative in the fight for the session of management rights in the future. In addition, if we promote the virtual reality business with Arcadia, it will be an opportunity to promote various projects continuously, not just this one. Um... I see. Jaeyoung nodded his head and fell into his own thoughts. Manager Park Jin-tae, who stood in a daze in the momentary silence that hovered inside the elevator, clearly listened to his casual muttering to himself. So, if you seed in this business, you''ll be able to give that executive a big fuck..... What...? yes? What? No... nothing. Director Park Jin-tae asks with a frozen face, wondering if he heard it wrong. But seeing Jaeyoung ask back with an innocent face as if he hadn''t said anything, he didn''t say anything. And after returning to the office, Park Jin-tae realized that something had changed in him. poke prick. Jaeyoung, who is sitting at her desk and is busy tapping on the keyboard. He, who always worked hard only on what he was told to do, started doing what no one else had asked him to do. With a strangely evil smile on his face. * * * Jae-Young''s attitudepletely changed after meeting with Executive Director Kim Young-Jin. However, thanks to Park Jin-tae''s consideration, he sat at his desk alone and wrote something for almost three days without anyone interfering, and finally got up and brought out the result. Could you take a look at this, sir? Yes....? What is this? Jaeyoung, who suddenly came to him and handed him a bundle of documents, replied with a smirk as if it was nothing. It was just... I came up with some supplementary points in the original n, so I made some modifications. what....? correction....? KG Land''s project, ambitiously prepared by staying up all night for several months in the virtual reality division. At Jaeyoung''s words that he had corrected it by himself, Manager Park Jin-tae opened the paper without much thought, and his expression changed moment by moment. This crazy.....'' A n full of unconventional ideas thatpletely differs from the existing n. After quickly calcting in his head the effectiveness that would arise when various solutions that he had never thought were possible were actually realized, he jumped up from his seat and hurried to Jae-young''s desk. Jae Jae-young, the things written here... these... are really feasible things...? Park Jin-tae, the general manager, exhaled heavily and asked the question. Jaeyoung smiled at him and replied with a confident face. Um... from what I know, everything is possible. Considering Arcadia''s technological prowess, wouldn''t it be that difficult? Is that so...? Manager Park Jin-tae seems to have made up his mind about Jae-young''s answer. And he immediately shouted at all the staff who were watching the conversation between the two with a bewildered expression. Everyone gather in the meeting room! There is an urgent matter to discuss! Employees entered the conference room one by one with a puzzled look on their faces. And they made absurd expressions as they listened to Jaeyoung''s exnation of the newly revised and supplemented n. Since the goal is to expand the market to consumers around the world, we are removingnguage barriers by applying the real-time interpretation and trantion system developed by Arcadia Co., Ltd. If that happens, there will be no need to hire a separate employee for overseas sales, and variousmunication problems that may arise in the sales process will be resolved. And... create and assign virtual sales staff to rece the staff at the branch. As you can see by ying Arcadia''s games, NPCs'' artificial intelligence is so good that there is no big differencepared to real people. Maybe the staff who exin a few home appliances and respond to customers can implement it without difficulty with a little effort? Oh, and a custom system is also added. You can create custom systems that allow you to virtually create appliances that look the way you want by modifying things like color, size and shape. It''ll be pretty alluring to top-tier customers who don''t care about price, or newlyweds who order appliances in bulk. It will also be a means of differentiation that will give us an edge over otherpetitors. Jaeyoung''s idea goes beyond the existing n, which was thinking about a general virtual store. And the staff who heard it asked back with a nk expression. That''s why.... Instead of having a separate sales staff, all of them are implemented as NPCs so that they can respond to customers and automate the entire process from purchase to purchase...? Deputy Assistant Manager Goh Dong-ho unknowingly uses honorifics and asks questions. And Jaeyoung answered his question with a smile as if it were urate. yes. However, if there are no employees at all, problems may arise, so some will have to be on standby at all times. Perhaps in the scale of the current sales part... can it be reduced by more than 90%? If we apply the trantion and interpretation system, there will be no need to hire foreign workers . A disruptive idea that goes beyond innovation that literally makes sales departments almost non-existent. However, if you think about the enormous cost reduction and profit maximization that would result from it, it was an offer that could not be refused. That''s why Manager Park Jin-tae trembled at the chills that suddenly surged behind his back. Couldn''t it be... is this the n that I was going to fuck executive director Kim Young-jin at the time...?'' Jae-young muttered to himself on the way back after being beaten by him all over the ce. And the card he pulled outpletely crumbled the key line of Executive Director Kim Young-jin... It was no different from issuing a real death sentence. By the way... will Arcadia ept this n? Arcadia Co., Ltd. doesn''t know about the real-time interpretation and trantion system, but I heard that no otherpany has provided an algorithm that implements NPCs separately... Arcadia''s NPCs move lively to a level close to perfection. One employee raised concerns with a cautious expression, as business proposals using advanced artificial intelligence such as these had never been applied in anypany. It is true that the n itself is perfect, but... I am a little worried that the existing n itself may be canceled if I make unreasonable demands on Arcadia Co., Ltd. Arcadia Co., Ltd., which has a reputation for being twisty. Knowing the numerous cases in which absurd proposals were submitted and immediately rejected, it was a matter of course that could be raised, but Jae-young answered with a confident face. Oh, maybe that part wont be a problem. ...? Employees look at him with puzzled eyes as he speaks loudly with a face full of confidence. Jaeyoung smiled at them and said. Because I''m going to ask you to make it that way. Chapter 416 Chapter 416 Interns are too strong (7) Perfectly embodying the five human senses, and not enough, allowing us to experience various things that are impossible in reality... A virtual world that is more realistic than reality. Arcadia. The virtual reality technology used to realize this virtual world was rapidly spreading all over the world through Arcadia Co., Ltd. Fantastic Universe. league of legends. war ground. Dream Office. blockbuster cinema. . . . Starting with the game industry and tourism industry, which had been sluggish, we are promoting a project to produce various contents and services by forming technical cooperation with variouspanies and countries. It was one of the main tasks of Arcadia Co., Ltd. to expand not only Arcadia but also various virtual reality services through this technical cooperation, which is extensively carried out in branches around the world. -League of Legends 3000% increase in sales in the 4th quarterpared to the previous year. Extrarge earnings surprise. - Virtual reality makes money? Companies that have been professing to create virtual reality services. -Trend virtual reality of thetest future strategies of globalpanies. However, starting with the League of Legends, Miznisa''s Fantastic Universe made its appearance and reached its peak historically, hitting a huge jackpot. And as a result, Arcadia Co., Ltd. came up with a guideline. [Building a new virtual reality service is a difficult task that takes a long time even for Arcadia''s talented creators and developers. Unfortunately, we cannot ept all proposals from allpanies. Through thorough and fair screening, we will select and adopt the most innovative, novel, and innovative business ideas first . And as a result, they were able to rise to the position of absolute power in rtionships with otherpanies. [This is too tricky and hard to implement. Let''s leave this system out.] [Ha..... It''s not very realistic. Can you supplement it again?] [Hmm..... I know what you want, but it will take at least another year to make it that way.] Eachpany aims to carry out as many projects as easily and simply and efficiently as possible. They were the ones who unterally cut off the unreasonable demands they wanted, but they couldn''t bear to do that now. So... I''m going to make it like this by supplementing the existing n a little more. Jae-young brings a n that is iparably moreplicated than before with a bright smile. After listening to him exin the changed n, Manager Yang Min-hyeok opened his mouth with a pale face. To the real-time trantion system... Lets add an artificial intelligence NPC to rece the sales force...? yes. When you want to make a purchase, we make payment and order delivery all at once. If possible, it would be nice to be able to link it with Arcadia''s ount and enable payment using gold. Even linking ounts with Arcadia...? Thest time I saw it, it didnt seem like it was technically impossible... Isnt it simpler to implement than I thought? ..... Jaeyoung''s story is no different from the absurd and absurd demands made by the ignorant person in charge. Normally, Manager Yang Min-hyeok would have said it was impossible without hesitation in this situation, but he couldn''t bear to open his mouth when he saw him smiling confidently as if he already knew everything. Jae-Young, who led the entire department as a de facto general manager in the League of Legends remake in the past design & development team. He was the one who knew more about Arcadia''s inner resources and circumstances than anyone else, so Manager Yang Min-hyeok couldn''t try to escape the current situation even with lies. Jaeyoung...? Did KG Electronics ask you to make something like this? That''s why Manager Yang Min-hyeok gave a nce at Manager Park Jin-tae, who was watching him with a nervous face, and asked just in case. Contrary to his expectations, however, Jaeyoung shook his head as if he was not. no. I just refined the n because it looked too clumsy. you....? Yang Min-hyeok looks confused at Jae-young''s reply that he did it voluntarily. He tried to overturn this n by driving KG Electronics to exploit his friendship with Arcadia Co., Ltd. as an intern, but he sighed deeply and spoke frankly. Haa..... I can''t stop it..... First of all... it''s not technically impossible. Even in the Fantastic Universe, there are cases where real-time interpretation and trantion systems have already been applied, and they are not provided due to various legal issues, including job loss, but... It is not impossible to implement a salesperson using artificial intelligence. Is that for real? Well... it''s not that high-level conversation, but it''s possible to have an algorithm that responds to customers who just buy things. Of course, if the questions exceed a certain level, you may feel a sense of difference, but it will not be too much of an annoyance to general consumers. General Manager Park Jin-tae is surprised to hear that it is possible. To him, Manager Yang Min-hyeok sighed and exined the rted content. The problem is... that no otherpany has applied this level of technology because the production process is veryplicated and takes a long time to implement. A technology that has never been provided to Mizuni, which invested billions of dors in Arcadia Co., Ltd. and entrusted production. It was clear that enormous sparks would be scattered all over the world if it was possible to rece thebor force with virtual employees using artificial intelligence right away. Why do only those bastards do that?'' Let us do it too.'' Don''t discriminate betweenpanies! Make me the same as KG Electronics.'' A situation that could be an excuse to make them lie down and make ridiculous demands, asking them to do the same. Since he couldn''t set a bad precedent that would cause him to rot his head down in the future, Manager Yang Min-hyeok put down the n with a slightly serious face as if it was difficult and talked to Jae-young. Im sorry, but I think this will be difficult for me, Jaeyoung. There is a risk of causing various controversies, and the matter of linking ounts with Arcadia is not a matter that the executive director can decide. Arcadia''s personal information is managed inplete secrecy. Since everything was restricted by extremely strict security so that anyone could not easily view anything without legitimate authority, Manager Yang Min-hyeok waved his hands as if he could not help it. Then... if it''s the boss, can it be possible? what....? However, as if he had no intention of backing down, Jaeyoung smiled and stood up from his seat. Do not worry. I''ll talk to the boss. Are you up there now? Jae Jaeyoung! hey! Jaeyoung! Manager Yang Min-hyeok calls Jae-young with a confused look on his face as he picks up the documents and leaves the meeting room as if he is going to a friend''s house. However, the door to the tightly closed meeting room did not open again. Haa... It''s ruined. Manager Yang Min-hyeok sighed as he covered his face with both hands. And Manager Park Jin-tae, who hadn''t figured out the situation yet, just blinked his eyes with a stupid expression. * * * President Lee Mi-yeon''s office located on the top floor of the Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. On the elevator heading there, Jae-young suddenly remembered that it had been a while since he had met her, and muttered to himself. Come to think of it... is this the first time since that conversation...? She told Jaeyoung to see the ending of Arcadia. Then, he tried to motivate Jae-young by telling a meaningful story that he would learn the great hidden secret of this world, but it turned out to be the worst move. There hasnt been a lot of noise in Arcadia these days.... Why arent you asking why we dont y games? President Lee Mi-yeon, who seemed to have a strong sense of not wanting to quit the game somehow. However, after hearing her words, Jae-young, who has the temperament of a tree frog, had not yed the game for almost two months. Now that I think about it, Jaeyoung thinks it''s a bit awkward to ask for something like this. So I thought about going back, but the door to the elevator that had already reached the top floor opened first. uh....? Student Jaeyoung...? president....? Two people looking at each other and opening their eyes wide as if surprised. And soon, in a very awkward atmosphere, Jaeyoung opened his mouth first. Are you busy? While I was at thepany for a while, I came to see you and y... And at that, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said with a clear expression of embarrassment. Oh no. I have work for a while, but... I''ll be back soon, so would you like to go inside my office first? Jae-young nodded at President Lee Mi-yeon''s request to wait. However, a child with a mischievous smile who looked like a middle school student standing next to President Lee Mi-yeon asked. Who is this older sister? Yes....? Just like a friend you know. That moment. Jaeyoung tilted his head at the sound of a voice he seemed to have heard somewhere. what....?'' It sounds familiar, but I can''t remember exactly, but it''s a very familiar voice. Jaeyoung stared at the child with a sense of deja vu, as if he had met him at least once. And then he asked with a worried face. Have you ever... met me somewhere? Hmm... you''ve never been like that before? ....is it so? A child who smiled when asked where he had seen it before and said he had never seen it before. And Jaeyoung, who was staring at him like that, had a long snowball fight with the kid who didn''t avoid his gaze at all. And in the middle of the fight, President Lee Mi-yeon intervened and said with a really urgent face. Ah, maybe its because Ive seen it on TV before? My nephew is more famous than I thought. Say hello... This is Jaeyoung. chance meeting. However, as if she didn''t really want that meeting, President Lee Mi-yeon introduced Jae-young to the boy with an indescribable expression. And the child looked at Lee Mi-yeon and smiled as if he knew something, then reached out to Jae-young and greeted him. You said you were friends with my older sister, right? nice to meet you. I... My name is Kim Min-soo. An unidentified child who calls CEO Lee Mi-yeon her sister. However, when he smiled brightly and shook his hand saying that he couldn''t spit on a smiling person, Jaeyoung felt something awkward, but soon introduced himself by holding hands. I am Yoon Jae-young. Nice to meet you. What is it... older sister! A guest came, but I''ll just go. Don''t wait ande in. Yes....? Will you? Ille back to yter. see you next time what Then I''m good enough..... He smiled and waved in the elevator, then disappeared from the sight of Jae-Young and Lee Mi-Yeon. The true owner of Argos Ajin Electronics Sillicorp, one of the threergest corporations in the world, including Arcadia Co., Ltd., secluded in the shadows, driving numerous changes and transformations around the world, and eventually dominating the world. is a huge ck screen, the worst viin, and the craziest guy in the world. Kim Min Soo. Asura, the chief manager of artificial intelligence Alice and the owner of the ck Mist that existed in the mythical age of Arcadia. That''s how Jae-young met him for the first time without knowing his identity at all. Chapter 417 Chapter 417 The intern is too strong (8) I haven''t heard from you for a while, so why did youe dressed up like this today? President Lee Mi-yeon asks with strange eyes shining as she puts the freshly brewed coffee down in front of Jae-young. To her, Jaeyoung shrugged and replied as if it was nothing. Im doing some internships these days. I came to thepany for work, but... I came here to have a favor and to see your face for the first time in a while. Intern...? President Lee Mi-yeon looks at him with absurd eyes for a moment at those words. Then, as if it was absurd, he drank a sip of coffee and asked in an argumentative manner. What the hell did you get into thepany? When I asked what it would be like to join Arcadia Co., Ltd., you just snorted? What... are you in your third year of college now? It''s also a time to think about the future... and I thought it would be quite a refreshing experience. Its not like you can stay locked in a capsule forever and just y games. Those who live in a capsule all day long and are immersed in virtual reality, leaving their present life alone and escaping. Of course, there were many cases of living a life that could not be ignored by grabbing decent wealth in the game, but as more and more people started to fully immerse themselves in the virtual world, it was getting public attention saying that it would be a serious social problem. And when Jae-young said that she didn''t want to be that kind of person, President Lee Mi-yeon had nothing to say. But then he smiled and asked. So... what the hell are you doing? Doesn''t that sound like a fun thing to do? Um... to be honest, its just normal. I go to work by 9 and get off work at 6... I''m just a normal office worker. It''s not that special or interesting, it''s just that normal and boring ordinary life itself. But Jaeyoung smiled as if he liked it. Still, its not bad because things are regr and stable. It is very ordinary. ...Do you know that student Jaeyoung is really dumbfounded when he says that...? President Lee Mi-yeon felt absurd when Jae-young said that it was good to be ordinary. In the game, the colossal atrocities that no one dares to imagine. What kind of attitude do you have? It''s not even a double personality... Jaeyoung''s other personality, Dex. People called him a legend after seeing him who had mastered many games, even if it was not Arcadia. - What would you do if you were currently ranked #1? It''s worse than Dex anyway. -Yes..... Even if Dex hyung didn''t fold the blue jewel..... -You guys kept chasing after me and asking about the color of my underwear, so I folded them. -You said you won 1:9? So what? Didn''t Dex win by 1:99? -No matter what you do, it''s under Dex anyway lol It''s convenient to give up. -Dex is..... RPG Action Fighting FPS Survival Casual Mystery... Even unyed. He gained great poprity by ying all kinds of games regardless of genre and breaking tremendous records in all games that no one dared to achieve. And President Lee Mi-yeon, who looked at Dex''s steps in Arcadia, felt that he was close to the end of the interested species who can''t live without natural attention. But... Jae-young in reality ispletely different from that appearance. He''s quiet, unobtrusive, and doesn''t make much of himself. Strangely enough, she couldn''t understand Jae-young, who was trying not to reveal herself in reality. I dont know why Jaeyoung is trying to be normal like everyone else. The money is already rotten and overflowing. If you put your mind to it and reveal your true identity to the world, you will gain an enormous reputation that can never bepared to today. Why are you hesitant to do so? Jae-young, who eats the Chinese government''s secret funds deliciously and owns an enormous amount of money of 1,200 trillion won. In addition, Dex''s followers spread all over the world, regardless of age or gender, boasting a wide spectrum, so in fact, they had an enormous star quality that could not bepared to any famous idol or celebrity. Um... you dont want to be dangerous? yes....? The reason why I almost got kidnapped by the Japanese government the other day was because Jaekyun became famous, right? As I said, the other day, because of the boss''s request, I disposed of gold and fucked China properly. If I knew who did it, would I stay still? I think they''re going to hire an assassin right away to take care of it without even letting the mice know about it. ..... Jaeyoung grumbles as if this is all because of you. Lee Mi-yeon, who had nothing to say at his words, tried to say something, but soon shut up. Actually, more than that... um... Anyway, I dont really need fame. It seems like only a lot of strange perverted stalkers will be seduced, but then everyday life bes difficult. But more than that, the reason why Jaeyoung is most reluctant to reveal his identity to the world. It was because of one huge force that followed him. [What color are Dex''s panties?] Also known as Deck Fan Mu. They are everywhere and nowhere..... But they definitely exist everywhere on this and unleash the filthy and insidious delusions and desires without hesitation. In reality, he had no intention of wanting to voluntarily let people know who he was. Anyway... if thats the reason, then I understand. But... you should know this one thing. There are no eternal secrets in this world. No matter how Arcadia Co., Ltd. says that it thoroughly manages and maintains the confidentiality of student Jaeyoung''s personal information, it is not perfect. It would be good to be prepared for Jaeyoung''s identity to be revealed to the whole world in an unexpected situation. That... what do you mean? Hmm..... For example, in the process of discussing taxes with the authorities regarding the settlement of Jaeyoung''s gold sales, they asked me first. Is Jaeyoung student Dex? yes....? Jae-young asks, wide-eyed, as if what the hell is that about? However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon waved her hand as if it was nothing strange. Again, Arcadia has never passed on character-rted information to them. I''m just guessing there. But that''s perfectly normal reasoning. Suddenly, an individual is paying an amount that exceeds the national budget for one year in Korea, how can you not know it even after seeing it? Even if it bounces, it should bounce moderately. Jaeyoung has gone far beyond the line. President Lee Mi-yeon took a sip of coffee and said, as if it was an obvious karma and it was inevitable. Does covering the sky with the palm of your hand cover it? Originally, a person who is proud cannot hide it no matter how hard he tries to hide it. In the case of Jaeyoung, it''s a problem because the scale is so big... Jaeyoung''s face hardens at President Lee Miyeon''s words and her face grows serious. However, Jaeyoung''s reaction reminded her not to worry. But don''t worry. This is because the government is watching Jaeyoung with great interest. Wouldn''t the risk of leaking rted content be great? It seems that the security level is set quite high. What is that...? I was even kidnapped by the Japanese government, so would you just leave it alone? I can''t tell you everything, though. Anyway, even if the identity is revealed, the probability of such an extreme situation happening is low. look at me The Chinese and Japanese governments have arrogantly threatened that they will never let them go, but they are still fine, right? Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. She is like a meat shield who has enormous authority and status and at the same time has to take responsibility for all issues rted to virtual reality. Although she had already provoked the anger of many people and was being criticized in all ces, President Lee Mi-yeon was eating well and living a good life. Thats right, since the boss is such an important person, there are bodyguards... Thats it. yes....? Why do I always have personnel to guard me? Why is the National Intelligence Service trying to find out if there is anyone who could be a threat directly around them, and to protect the various secret agents who have infiltrated to harm me by hunting down and dealing with them? Numerous terrorism and assassination plots were once attempted against President Lee Mi-yeon, although they were detected in advance by the integrated monitoringwork Argos and eliminated altogether. The reason she was able to escape them was... It''s because of the influence I have. He is the general president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., apany that provides the first virtual reality service for mankind. Thats why so many bodyguards are protecting me, and the country is directly stepping out to protect me at any cost. Ah... yes... And I want Jaeyoung to have that kind of influence. It bes an absolutely important person who can''t be reced anywhere. It''s not just a lot of money and a lot of poprity... It''s an influence that can never be given up even on a national level. I have no idea what that means. It''s easy to exin. 15% stake in ourpany. President Lee Mi-yeon mentions the stake he promised to those who watch the final chapter of Arcadia. And she looked at Jaeyoung with firm eyes and said. If you get that stake in your hands, you''ll have that influence, even if you don''t want to. After all, thats the story we talked aboutst time. Jaeyoung smiles as if he knows what he''s talking about now. And he nodded his head as if not to worry. Don''t worry about that. I''m just trying to cool off my head for a bit and try some internship experience, I''m not going to turn down the request I made the other day. I n to y games again after my internship is over. President Lee Mi-yeon, who had not logged on to the game for almost two months, had been feeling anxious without realizing it. She nodded her head with a small smile as if she finally felt at ease with Jaeyoung''s answer. So... what do you want me to do for you? Ah... thats it? It''s apany job, but... Manager Yang Min-hyeok expressed his disapproval, saying that it would only be possible if the president gave his permission. At that, Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, received the documents Jae-young handed over and read the contents step by step. And she immediately frowned and muttered as if in trouble. This is a little... too much work. Is that enough? It''s not impossible, but it''s definitely too unconventional. To the point where wordse out from behind. President Lee Mi-yeon, who was flipping through the documents as if in a bit of trouble. And she asked with a puzzled face. Didnt you say you were interning there? Is this important enough for you toe to me and make a special request like this? yes. why....? People who will be strangers after working for a few months anyway. There was nothing to be gained no matter how excellent the performance was, so President Lee Mi-yeon asked as if he did not understand at all. And Jaeyoung answered her question with a strangely evil smile. Because if this is promoted, you can seriously fuck someone. ..... CEO Lee Mi-yeon stood in a daze for a moment as if she was at a loss for words at that answer. And after a while, she muttered to herself. Really... they really look alike. yes....? with whom? it''s nothing. You mean you''re pushing this to fuck someone after all? This naive revenge method to feed the bigger and bigger candy to the person who fucked it by any means. Seeing that, CEO Lee Mi-yeon said to Jae-young with a calm expression, as if she had an interesting idea. great. As a secret friend... I will grant you this request. Instead, I ask you to do just one thing properly. Please? There is one person I want to fuck too... That seems like a problem entirely in Jaeyoung''s hands. yes....? CEO Lee Mi-yeon suddenly wants to fuck someone. But she didn''t tell me who it was. He just smiled bitterly and muttered small words as if talking to himself. There is... How can I say.... An ingenious being who disturbs this reality like Jaeyoung does in the game? Chapter 418 Chapter 418 The intern is too strong (9) Ajin Group boasts a powerful influence as the bestpany in Korea and the number one in the business world. It was thanks to the overwhelming technology and tremendous innovation produced by Ajin Electronics that they grew into a globalpany beyond Korea. And Chairman Lee Jun-hee, who dominates and dominates the entire group, starting with Ajin Electronics. Even though he had so much prestige that even the president could not touch him, the face of Chairman Lee Jun-hee, who came to visit Lee Mi-yeon, seemed to be full of embarrassment. Kkeuh..... So the reason Ko finally came to Korea was because of the game? Yes..... As soon as I returned to Korea, I ran straight here, so I said everything. It seemed that he was very excited about the fact that the scenario he nned had begun. Hmm... Ive seen the controversies rted to virtual reality often through the newstely... but it must be quite a headache. I mean..... President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a bitter smile at Chairman Lee Jun-hees words. He asked with a questioning face. So... how are things really going to work out? Could it be that Arcadia is going to copse and the service will not be stopped? why. Are you worried too, Chairman? With Ajin Electronics... No, it''s a problem that is not directly rted to Chairman Lee Jun-hee. However, President Lee Mi-yeon asked, seeing his reaction that he was seriously concerned even though it was someone else''s business. Isnt that obvious? Even if it is simply the value of the stake in Arcadia owned by Ajin Electronics, an enormous loss is expected. As one of thergest shareholders, I have no choice but to be concerned. Ajin Electronics holds a 33% stake in Arcadia. Although the amount was not exact because it was not listed, he is worried that the value of the stake, which is estimated to have an astronomical value, will be shit. But there was a more serious problem than that. Besides, as you know... Ajin Electronics has already made a huge investment in building production facilities for Dreamer and Lucid Dream. If you think about the money invested in manufacturing server devices to handle traffic and other equipment necessary for all facilities, you have no choice but to worry. Ajin Electronics boasts tremendous growth by breaking record sales every quarter. However, as a counterweight to that, even in the investment, all the funds were being invested at an insane level, so Chairman Lee Jun-hee talked to her seriously. Because of the sudden announcement of the possibility of a virtual reality service being stopped overnight, the sale of virtual reality devices stopped and inventories began to pile up, so in the end, no matter how much we are, the worst situation could happen. Worst case...? That means youll run out of money to pay your debts. ...Is the situation that serious? Failure to pay. In other words, bankruptcy. A situation that can happen at any time in apany that has made excessive investments without considering risks. However, considering the influence of Ajin Electronics, such a situation could not be just a gossip or controversy, but a catastrophe close to an economic depression. Well... Im not going to go bankrupt or anything like that. Still, if we sell this or that, it will be possible to fix it somehow, but we''ll probably shed a lot of blood. Many people will lose their jobs and the domestic economy itself will be unstable. Instead of earning huge amounts of money, the Ajin Group contributes to the domestic economy and job creation on an enormous scale. For this reason, Chairman Lee Jun-hee emphasized that this incident could threaten not only thepany itself, but also the many workers of Ajin Group who live their daily lives and their families. And to his warning, President Lee Mi-yeon responded with a slightlyplicated expression. I will do the best I can. Okay... if you do what youve been doing up until now, youll do just fine. I''ll believe it. I don''t think that Minsu just made you the general manager of thispany for no reason. Chairman Lee Jun-hee stood up from his seat, sending eyes mixed with trust that he would be able to resolve this situation amicably. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, looked at him with a worried face and asked him. By any chance... is Chairman Lee Jun-hee willing to persuade Min-soo with me? You mean that guy...? yes. If there is an amicable agreement, I think it could be adjusted without major problems. I''m making preparations in my own way, but the best thing is for the person who made this disaster to give up the event of that disaster. Chairman Lee Joon-hee looked at President Lee Mi-yeon, who seemed to be dreaming of an ideal dream to somehow turn Min-su''s heart back, then turned around with a smile. How could that little guy who didnt listen to me and just do what he wanted to do? Wake me up. * * * So... the design and development team headed by Manager Yang Min-hyeok agreed to take responsibility and finish the project. You directly said that you would reflect the nned issues as much as possible, so I guess I will just have to wait without getting too involved in the future. Yes..... This is enough to be considered a preferential treatment. Unlike the first n, the business cooperation contract between KG Electronics and Arcadia Co., Ltd. is full of all sorts of absurd proposals. The contractpletely turned KG Electronics'' internal political structure upside down. [Does this make sense? If so, what should we do with our sales part!] [What''s the point? Boss Times are changing. Even if we tried to expand the sales part by unreasonably increasing the size, we have reached a point where we can''t get any benefit. Even now, it is necessary topletely reduce the sales part and reduce manpower to reduce costs. Otherwise, we will not be able to survive the low-price offensive of Chinesepanies!] Managing Director Kim Young-chan is nning to undertake a major restructuring by reducing the sales side, which is the core force of Executive Director Kim Young-jin, to a level close toplete dismantling. And as the im was eventually finalized, the camp on the side of Executive Director Kim Young-jin, who had be almost disconnected, could not hide their dejection. [Why on earth did Arcadia Co., Ltd. make such a ridiculous proposal...?] Managing Director Kim Young-jin, who used even his subordinates to stir up a quarrel and stir up a controversy in order to somehow hinder cooperation with them. However, he couldn''t understand at all when he saw that the project was being promoted to an absurd level, rather than being abandoned, but it was the same situation for everyone except for Park Jin-tae, Assistant Manager Koh Dong-ho, and Managing Director Kim Young-chan. Then... I think Ive done everything I can at thispany. It''s a pity that I had to quit withoutpleting the internship period due to circumstances, but... wasn''t this a prettypetent intern? Jae-young talks yfully and hands thest document he wrote directly to managing director Kim Young-chan. And epting the document, he expressed his sincere gratitude. Thank you. What. I did it because I wanted to, so you don''t have to worry too much about it. As an intern, Jaeyoung has achieved an absolutely impossible level of performance. And when he heard about why that was possible, he couldn''t believe it at first. A secret friend of the general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. I don''t know exactly what the rtionship is, but the fact that he has a very close rtionship with thepany''s top decision maker, who is in a superior position regarding virtual reality, ignited a huge desire in his heart. If it''s this guy.....'' A tremendous talent who might give huge wings to the future of KG Electronics. That''s why I felt a stronger possessive desire than ever before. Hey... do you have any intention of working properly at ourpany? yes....? Dont get me wrong. It''s not because I''m just suggesting it based on this incident. ording to the reports I received from Deputy Assistant Manager Goh Dong-ho and Manager Park Jin-tae, they are quitepetent. Jae-young, who handled whatever task was entrusted to him, perfectly and promptly, without any ws. Except for the fact that he was still young and hadn''t served in the military, he was a perfectly close employee, so managing director Kim Young-chan made an unconventional proposal first. If you want, I will arrange for you to work as a full-time employee starting tomorrow. Not as a low-level employee, but as a manager. yes....? Director Sa, what is that...? A managerial position in charge of a department and serving as a bridge between executives and general employees. He proposes to Jae-young, a young man in his early 20s, a position that only people in their 40s who have excellent work skills and long experience can climb. General manager Park Jin-tae and assistant manager Koh Dong-ho opened their mouths in shock, knowing how absurd this was, but he continued talking seriously as if he was not joking. I can tell just from the fact that you are talking to Manager Park here. You have that unique atmosphere. Regardless of age or rank.... The quality of a leader who can naturally grab hold of anyone, direct them, and bring out their full potential. Managing Director Kim Yeong-chan, who intuitively sensed that Jae-young had something with his insight as a manager. That''s why he took out as many carrots as he could and tried to cate him somehow. I''m not just asking you toe into ourpany. Make sure your sry is at the highest level. If you want, I''m willing to personally invest about 1 billion in you. And... He offers a huge amount of money and puts all sorts of conditions to the point where you lose your senses even though you are just listening to him. However, Jae-young, who had been listening to him quietly, soon cut him off and firmly refused. Im sorry, but I have no intention of working here any more, no matter what conditions you offer me. In fact, it is not even possible. President Lee Mi-yeon''s promise to quit this useless internship and return to Arcadia instead of epting this ridiculous contract. Even in order to fulfill it, Jae-young could not ept the proposal made by Kim Young-chan, the managing director. You dont like ourpany... so much? Oh, that''s not it. Everyone took good care of me and it wasn''t bad. It was an intern, but the work wasn''t that hard, themute was clear, and there was no forced dinner or old school culture... Well, rather than what I imagined, it was on the better side. KG Electronics didn''t have bad welfare benefits or working environment, perhaps because it was argepany. There was no old boss who was arrogant, so Jae-young thought that he had enjoyed the internship for a little over two months. Anyway... I dont mean to quit because I dont like thispany, so please dont misunderstand me. If I didn''t like it in the first ce, I wouldn''t have helped you like this. I was just silently watching. Is that so... Managing Director Kim Young-chan puts on an expression full of regret at Jae-youngs words that he is quitting for a very personal reason. Looking at him like that, Jaeyoung smiled and added his words. If you appreciate me that much, could you promote two people here? ...Lets try our best for that. ...? ...! Jaeyoung, who briefly enjoyed the reactions of assistant manager Goh Dong-ho and general manager Park Jin-tae, whose expressions changed moment by moment in their conversation, soon stood up with a smile. Then, managing director Kim Yeong-chan suddenly turned around with a curious expression and asked behind him. Could I ask... what caused you to quit? He couldn''t hold back his curiosity and asked a question about his personal circumstances. And in answer to that question, the three of them froze in a daze for a while. Because I have to y. Chapter 419 Chapter 419: Branch managers are having a hard time! Beings living in the mes of a burning hell. A cruel and harsh world where struggle and power are revered and only the survival of the fittest logic is applied. devildom. It was a ce where no morals andws were established... It was like a crucible of chaos, but surprisingly, there was an order of its own in this hellish world. -Those who want authority, win that power through struggle. -The strong have the right to take everything from the weak. - Weakness is the true sin. A simple ignorant yet hot-tempered race that solves everything with only power. Asmodian. In Arcadia, these demons were so strong that even the weakest monsters could not dare to ignore them because of this barren and harsh environment in which weak people could not survive. A force that possesses power that is not inferior to anywhere whenpared with individual objects. But even so, Pandemonium had never once won the upper hand over Heaven in Arcadia. [Those who face the demons of hell, be afraid. They are fearful beings who love blood and ughter more than anyone else, and whoever falls for their sweet whispers will find no peace from them even in death. Even pure souls will be corrupted and will struggle in eternal pain in the hell of the abyss.] Stories spread by numerous priests of the Church centered on the Holy Empire. Heavenly sabotage is carried out by any means and methods to spread countless stories rted to the vicious and wicked atrocities of the demons, instigate fear, as well as to ughter all warlocks and dark knights rted to them, and to thoroughly suppress their forces. . And because of that, the Demon World was never able to enter the light amidst the persecution and persecution of everyone as evil. But... Ugh. Heaven lost its immense influence by losing the Holy Empire and the Holy Land, Eden, in countless upheavals, chaos, and huge disasters. On top of that, starting with the birth of a dark kingdom that had never existed before, the forces of darkness increased to an iparable level. Due to various factors, the world of demons was experiencing a tremendous expansion of influence that had never been experienced before, and was securing its enormous probability. And as a result, new abnormalities began to ur in the demon realm. [The Dark Ages areing.] Nargal, Lord of ughter. As themander of the 2nd corps of the Demon World and in charge of managing all the kingdoms of the Demon World on behalf of the demon king Satan when he was absent, he summoned all the corpsmanders below his rank and got lucky. [The stronghold of the celestial forces has been corrupted by the great dark lord, and their lofty divinity has fallen. Due to the huge disasters that hit the continent, many lives have been shed and died, and only the grief, sorrow, and pain of those who survived fill the world.] Arcadia''s current situation is literally heading towards the end. The previous peaceful and stable era ispletely gone, and in this world full of chaos and disorder, the people of Hell are actively moving around the continent like fish in water. [Completed the quest Massacre] [Completed the quest Tragedy in Despair] [Completed the quest Corruption of an Innocent Youth] [Completed the quest Harsh Death of Old Mother] . . . Users who y as warlocks and dark knights. Theymitted countless evil deeds in order to raise the level of bad karma for their own strength and growth, and in the process, indescribable people fell into grief, despair, and anger and corruption. [A devilish bastard... even if I die, I will definitely take revenge...] [My child! Why did you kill my child! Why the hell!] [Ha, give me one more chance. I''ll bet my soul, so please...!] Those who mercilessly destroyed families living a peaceful life, stimted and corrupted the sincere and innocent young man''s desire, andmitted all sorts of indescribable atrocities. Unlike before, a huge narrative rted to this demon world began to wriggle, thanks to the adventurers who roamed all over the continent without any checks or hindrances, repeating all sorts of vicious acts. [My... and the moment when your followers open the gates of hell is approaching.] The hidden bases responsible for the connection between Arcadia, the middle world, and the demon world. The gates of hell located there. Also known as Hell Gate. The door, which had never been operated except during the massive invasion of the demon world in the past, was now showing signs of being opened by countless people. [Hmm..... Heart of Darkness...? What is this...?] [Get the thousand-year-old thorn of despair? Where else do you get this?] [Kill 10,000 NPCs...? There are too many of them...] Numerous descendants of darkness who are fulfilling andpleting the necessary conditions one by one so that the demons of hell can fully descend to the Arcadia continent with their original powers. Hearing about this secret but fast-paced evil n, themanders of the Pandemonium couldn''t hide their excitement. [Then... is the day finallying when Arcadia will bepletely dyed in darkness?] Diablo, the ruler of demons with a noble lineage and the lord of fear and despair. [Cheuk... Tender human meat is the best... It''s been a long time since I''ve eaten it.] Gluttony, the source of corrupted monsters, monsters, and hungry anglers, and the lord of infinite appetite and greed. [The pile of corpses will increase after a long time... I hope there are more materials for experiments.] Death Lich, the lord of the living, is all dead who have not even been allowed to rest in death because their souls have been corrupted. [Haa..... After a long time, the moment wille when our sisters can fully indulge in that pure spirit.] And even Lilith, the ruler of the dream demons and the lord of all corrupt desires and desires. Corpsmanders who vomit freely the desires and delusions that each of them had in their hearts. The intense energy they radiated was huge enough topletely swallow Arcadia from above. Whoops. But... a powerful dimensional boundary thatpletely blocks that power. The power of those blocked by the huge and powerful wall that existed from the moment of creation did not have any influence on that delectable and coveted Arcadia. An absolute establishment that does not allow any intervention or interference without following due process. Because of the setting, they had not been able to devour Arcadia even though they had that great power, but now they clearly felt that the long-awaited moment was imminent. [Imand in the name of Nargal, the lord of ughter andmander of the 2nd Corps of the Pandemonium on behalf of the great Lord of Hell. No struggle is permitted until the gates of hell are opened. Assemble your ranks and prepare for war and ughter. The moment the door to Middle-earth opens...] Nargal paused for a moment as if imagining the moment that day came. And he continued speaking in a voice full of excitement, as if he could not stand it. [We will trample and corrupt that continent to our heart''s content and turn it into a world ofplete darkness.] The mission that all beings in the underworld inevitably pursue. Fall. As if they were going to achieve their goal ofpletely staining that continent with darkness and corrupting all souls, they all shouted as one. [Everything goes ording to the will of the great corrupt dark lord...] * * * ...With this, we will finish the final report regarding the invasion of machine civilization in the second half crisis scenario. Director Kang Tae-hoon of the Crisis Management Response Team finished the report with a nervous face. When he finished his report, Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon and other branch heads who were attending the meeting via video each looked at one person with indescribable expressions. Hmm... President Lee Mi-yeon, who was seriously examining each and every report in her hand. She muttered for a while, checking something intently, then nodded and said: I think this is enough. You have suffered a lot. ....thank you. The atmosphere was suddenly relieved when he said that he had suffered a lot. And each of them was making expressions that clearly revealed their indescribable intentions. Ha..... Finally, that crazy scenario has finally been resolved.....'' What a mess I haven''t been able to get off work for nearly two months.....'' Is the emergency resolved now... ..? Will you let me go to work properly?'' Money is good, but I don''t have to live a daily life.'' Ate game crisis scenario that could trigger the demise of Arcadia. It was none other than the branch managers of each branch who suffered the most from the emergency that was triggered at the same time as it started. Because of their position as top managers in charge of branches spread all over the world, those who could not get off work properly and lived 24 hours a day eating and sleeping at thepany. They almost had to give up their daily lives to the extent that it was almost safe to say that they were living in the field, and they had to devote all their minds to solving all kinds of problems pouring in from all over the ce for more than two months. Now, for trivial or light issues, each branch will take care of it on its own. Maybe it was because there were too many agendas than I thought, but it took a lot longer than I thought just to sort things out. A race of slimes thatpletely engulfed the Japanese continent. An unusual change in magic engineering, tinkering with the remnants of the mechanical civilization Gestalt. The birth of a battle mage battle mage, the so-called strength mage of a new school of magic. In addition to that, President Lee Mi-yeon, who reached an agreement through in-depth discussions and discussions regarding numerous changes and updated contents, spoke softly to all those who had suffered for the past two months. Everyone has had a hard time. From today, the state of emergency will bepletely over and we will return to work normally. Because today is Tuesday.... If there is nothing special this week, everyone should not go to work and each should take a vacation. It''s good to make money...but it''s meaningless if you don''t have enough time to spend it, right? [Thank you.... boss.] [The boss also... you''ve worked hard.] Branch managers who take care of a huge amount of money, almost tens of billions of won in annual sry. However, since they suffered from tremendous workload for two months, it was CEO Lee Mi-yeon who tried to provide maximum convenience in her own way. And the heads of the branches glistened as they dreamed of their own ns at her words to take a break this week. But at that moment..... Wheein. A beep sounded as if it had been waiting for it. And since they didn''t know the meaning, the atmosphere in the room started to changepletely in an instant. no way....?'' Isn''t it...? It won''t be.....'' Please.....e now again...?'' An audible beep only when another critical event urs. And President Lee Mi-yeon, who was staring at theputer monitor without saying anything, opened her mouth with an awkward smile as if conscious of everyone''s eyes watching her. This... what should I do...? Looks like I have to go on vacationter. [Why the hell is that...] Because a new scenario has been created. At the same time, CEO Lee Mi-yeon shares the notifications on the monitor. And the branch heads who saw the name of the newly created main scenario through the monitor thought seriously in their heads as if they had promised. [Act. 4 Invasion of Pandemonium] Ah..... Should I really leave thepany...?'' I wondered if money or something like this shittypany would just run away. Chapter 420 Chapter 420 Pandemonium (1) Many settings and histories exist in Arcadia. Among them, one of the mythological stories with thergest scale was the great war between angels and demons. Seal of the World Tree. scattered continents. A reclusive heterogeneous race. In addition to that, a terrible war in mythology that brought countless aftermath. Even the records were not kept properly, so general users were not aware of the contents rted to it, but the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who were looking through the rted data in rtively detail, were truly astonished. So... you mean that demons from the Demon Realm that tore the continent into 8 pieces in the past and devastated 90% of the entire continent can reappear...? Looking at the data now, yes. It seems that several factors worked inbination... It seems that the rted trigger worked. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han frowned at the words of manager Kang Tae-hoon. He groaned as if recalling various incidents in the past. Keuk..... No matter how much I thought about it, the divine camp had shrunk too much... Originally, the camp of angels who had been solidly building their own forces in Arcadia. Those who spread across the continent, centered on the Holy Empire Saint, suppressed and trampled the forces of evil so severely that they could not find any mercy. [In the vige where the ck magician was born, catch disbelievers through strict and harsh interrogations and purify them all with fire. Thoroughly implement God''s will so that the remnants of filthy evil can never arise again!] Leave no one behind and bring down a righteous judgment on all those who forsake God.] Because of that, the forces of evil have beenpletely secluded and wandering around, failing to establish a proper force. However, after the birth of the Maroon Kingdom, the situation began to change rapidly. First of all.... Since the birth of the Dark Kingdom, led by the ck me Dragon of Darkness, the influence of the Pandemonium camp has continued to grow stronger. I don''t know if the celestial side had maintained the existing level here... but because of the recent incident, it haspletely copsed, so the bnce haspletely copsed. The fall of Eden, a huge tragedy that took ce in the Holy Empire Saint. As a result, thanks to the death of Apostolic Pope Amen, who represented the heavens, and those who lost the most powerful holy ground, the demonic world broke free of all restraints that had oppressed and oppressed them so far, and went wild more freely than ever before. As a result, a lot of scenarios rted to Pandemonium are currently going on among users. The few top rankers who know what they are doing are contracting with the highest level demons and are in contact with severalrge guilds. There are users who have it. I don''t know when it started, but the demons were gradually proceeding with their n to open the gates of hell through the myriad of their followers who had contracted with them while expanding the influence of the demon realm. And now, we are almost on the verge of achieving that goal. The ces that are in charge of connecting to the Pandemonium... So you''re saying you''re collecting all the things you need to operate the ces called Hell Gate? yes. As you can see from the picture here... There are 6 bases hidden all over the continent of Arcadia. These are the bases of demons in the past, and are the key passageways and gateways connecting the Pandemonium and Arcadia. Six shining dots all over the map of the unified continent Arcadia. And while watching those dots twinkle, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han muttered with a troublesome face. So... is it that when the gates of Hell open, all sorts of demons from the demon realme out from there? To devour all of Arcadia? Well... I think it will flow roughly like that. A story rted to amon demonic invasion that can be seen anywhere. However, after taking a closer look at the development process of the rted scenarios in the report step by step, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han began to ponder something with a serious face. Hmm..... Fortunately, as soon as the gate opens, high-ranking demons don''t all appear right away, right? yes. Basically, it seems to be nned to give the opposing faction time to react. First of all, it is designed in such a way that the level of demons that can appear is limited, starting with low-level monsters in each base, and the restrictions are gradually lifted as time passes. Demons that will appear in 6 parts of the huge continent of Arcadia. However, they were only at the level of the weakest group of low-level monsters. Of course, even so, the abilities of those who would appear with their own strength were too strong for ordinary users to handle. The gate will be unlocked in proportion to the amount of blood shed by Arcadia''s users and NPCs... For example, it will be simr to a defense game. yes. From the user''s point of view, they have to block their offensive with minimal damage. As the damage increases, the level and scale of the enemy continue to increase. I...but is this really a level that users can afford in the current situation? Even if you look at the data here, the average level of the monsters that will appear from the beginning is about 100... That''s true, but the enemy inside is a problem. Once the passage to the Pandemonium is opened, all users who y as dark sses will basically participate in this war on the side of the demons. Overall, although it is said that the proportion of those with sacred and neutral jobs is overwhelminglyrge... If users split up and fight again, the situation is likely to turn gloomy. That''s right..... The staff voice their concerns about this scenario. Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han asked at the reaction of general manager Kang Tae-hun, who was unable to refute their opinions and blurted out his words with a puzzled expression. So... assuming the worst-case scenario, what would happen? Worst case scenario...? General Manager Kang Tae-hoon analyzed and reviewed hundreds of possible scenarios with his subordinates in the crisis management response team. And he said with a deep sigh, as if he had picked the worst of the worst scenarios that he hoped would never happen. Once, assuming that all defense lines and barriers rted to the invasion of the Pandemonium are breached... As early as a week at thetest, within a month at thetest, the highest level of demons will be able to appear in the Pandemonium. If it''s the highest rank...? They are also called corpsmanders. If they appeared in Arcadia without any restrictions, each one would be a being with transcendental power equivalent to level 700. The level is... 700...? This crazy..... The power intion reached such an insane level... Power intion that can be experienced in any other game. However, when the strength of the enemies began to rise to an uncontroble level, those who did not know the details rted to this allughed with an expression of absurdity. So, when those corpsmanders appear, what are the additional counter-events? Once... if the situation esctes to that point, then emergency scenarios will be activated. The dragon, who acts as the guardian of Arcadia, will intervene, and the elves and dwarves will also lend their strength to the human war to protect their territory. A transcendental dragon that always appeared and saved the world when Arcadia was in danger of destruction. And Director Kang Tae-hoon talks about the intervention of the World Tree, the mother of all life and all things. But he was saying that the ending was never a happy ending. But...even that won''t stop them. Why...? Please look at thest page of the page. At those words, the staff suddenly looked at thest of the meeting materials they were holding. And when they read what was written there, they all shouted in astonishment. What the hell is this? Oh... what is this...? Director Kang Tae-hoon began to mutter softly to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was reading the conference materials with a stiff face. In order to finally end this scenario, the entrance to the demon world.... the bases called Hell Gate must be destroyed and closed again. And there was only one person who could do that. Numerous settings and stories that exist in Arcadia. None of them were meaningless. This virtual world, where every tramp sitting on the street and begging, to trivial junk that seems worthless, each has its own story and is entangled in various cause-and-effect rtionships amidst theplex threads of fate. And in Arcadia, the Saint of the Holy Empire, who copsed in vain under very unexpected circumstances, was clearly ying the role of a protagonist in an important narrative. Pope Amen, he was the NPC who would y the most key role in this Pandemonium invasion scenario, but with his death, there is virtually no way to close the Hell Gate. Director Kang Tae-hoon, who has already checked dozens of times through Ellis. As if trying to do something, he looked straight into the eyes of Executive Director Kwon Myung-han and talked about the serious situation. Even if the scenario starts, the only thing normal users can do is to dy the time as much as possible and block the attack of demons. It is virtually impossible topletely drive them out or end the scenario. A huge scenario that has been nned for a long time. The Second Holy Magic War. Originally nned as a war between angels and demons, the narrative of a fierce struggle changed into a story of apletely new genre due to the fall of Eden. Just say the conclusion, Director Kang Tae-hoon. What will happen if the scenario cannot be finished due to the absence of a key NPC? A situation where the huge flow of the scenario ispletely twisted due to an unexpected ident. That''s why he gave a concise answer to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han''s question about what would happen if he left it as it was. If all restrictions on those 6 bases are lifted... and if you receive more than a certain level of damage from demons, the final door will eventually open. A bloody six star drawn across the continent centered on six bases. And a certain existence that emerges from the crack created in the center. And everyone who saw it fell silent. The demon king of chaos will finally appear in Arcadia, and if even the world tree, thest bastion, is in their hands... then the entire continent of Arcadia will bepletely demonized. . A power that contaminates everything, warps the source, and encroaches. Corruption. As a result, the continent has been transformed into a bizarre and creepy appearance, and monsters and monsters with terrible appearances can be found everywhere. And users running away from all over the ce to survive from them and ying survival games. They gulped their saliva with their faces white as if they were terrified as they watched the Pandemonium transform into a world full of fear, where hunting, adventure, and romance were nowhere to be found. Watching the genrepletely change from an RPG game with a beautiful and fantastic fantasy background to a horror survival game full of horror to survive in the middle of hell. Chapter 421 Chapter 421 Demon Realm (2) Are humans good or evil? There are numerous controversies about the theory of good and evil, but one fact that experts in criminal psychology agree on is that there are definitely true evil people in this world. [Are humans inherently good or evil? There are many discussions about this question, but one fact that many criminal psychologists agree on is that, although there are differences in degree, deep down in the human psyche, each person has the nature of a destructive and aggressive beast. ] Destroying a well-made sandcastle for no reason. Tearing off the legs of all insects caught as a joke. Little children who just harass others for fun and enjoy the pain. The evil actions shown in the innocence of knowing nothing clearly showed the beast hidden inside these humans. [However, its nature is strongly controlled and conditioned in the discipline of the family and education in society. Most of them adapt without major problems in the social system ofws and rules and the conventional wisdom of morality and etiquette. But... if that nature appears strongly and you can''t control it, problems arise.] Psychopaths. Sociopath. Those who do socially uneptable behavior just for their own satisfaction for no reason. Through their examples, they proved that there is an evil in the world that can never be rectified. [And they have a high probability ofmitting heinous crimes such as murder and arson. Not because of any resentment or interest, but just for fun and pleasure. That''s the only way to satisfy their inner desire.] [That''s why they can''t be reformed. No matter how much you restrain and suppress your urges and desires, by some small chance and at the most vulnerable moment, in the end, that nature wille out and someone will be sacrificed. As an analogy, they are like time bombs that we ca n''t even prepare for because we don''t know when and where they will explode.] belongs to the case. The only way to prevent additional crimes is to iste them from society forever and to thoroughly manage them so that no additional victims can ur. These heinous crimes cannot be eradicated. Even if a certain person is a psychopath, it is impossible to take measures such as isting from society just because there is such a possibility.] Experts argue that it is impossible to eradicate these atrocious crimes no matter what. But since the birth of virtual reality, these crime rates have plummeted worldwide. Arcadia, another world perfectly realized to the extent that it is indistinguishable from reality. And the resident NPCs living peacefully there. [Ohe on. What brought you here today?] [Look! Long time no see? Can I ask for an apology here?] [I have a favor to ask of you.....] Through those who are so lively that you can believe they are real people and have different reactions and conversations depending on the situation, those who live in reality hide their beastly nature. I was so free to satisfy those pent-up desires and impulses. Turn it off..... please... please save it... A quiet alleyway. A young man struggling there, bleeding profusely. But Jeffrey, looking down at him, had a deep smile. No. Please pray for me to live a little more earnestly. uh? Can I be moved by that? Jeffrey whispered with a face full of pleasure as if he were really enjoying this moment. Then he grabbed the terrified victim by the chin and turned it roughly to reveal the already grayed bodies. Ill give you one more chance. If you disappoint me again... you will die here on the street like those guys over there and be my faithful ve. Whoops. The ck magic that spreads through his gestures. And soon, a drastic change began to ur in the bodies of the two bodies that had just been killed. Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu000000..... Decaying corpse zombies walking around. Geoffrey''s family suddenly changed into bizarre and hideous figures that made you feel sick just by looking at them. He said as they began to stumble and look around as if they were constantly looking for prey. Are you hungry? I''ve prepared a delicious dinner for you here, so enjoy it to your heart''s content. Hee... hee hee... The young man groaned as he pointed at himself and called it prey, looking at him with fear-stained eyes. But Jeffrey whispered to him as if he were ying a fun game. Try running away. Are these guys slower than you think? Wouldnt it be possible to live even if you lose the use of one leg if you work hard with the determination to die? Please save me. Please... A young man begging to be saved as if he had an intuition about death. But Jeffrey said with a smirk. Okay...then lets start! Geuuuuuuuuu...! At that moment, two zombies stumbled and slowly approached him. And a young man who struggles to escape somehow by grabbing his broken leg from the two. However, it didn''t take long to catch him crawling, even if it was a slow-moving zombie. Quaaaaaaagh! He screams in pain as the zombie bites his neck. It was such a terrible and gruesome sight that ordinary people could not bear to see it with their own two eyes, but Jeffrey, who was looking at it, was genuinely happy and enjoying it. Ha..... An unknown NPC whose vitality haspletely disappeared and turned gray. However, his efforts to live until thest moment were enough to satisfy the monster in Jeffrey''s heart. This Arcadia... really... He shuddered with his eyes closed, relishing the feeling that the suppressed thirst in his heart was finally quenched. It''s the best..... In reality, Jeffrey lives with the respect and recognition of society as a doctor who saves people''s lives. However, in this virtual arcadia, he was ying as a necromancer,mitting heinous crimes and murders, and fulfilling his desires that were not allowed to him. [A group of innocent young men were brutally murdered.] [The bad karma has been increased.] [The bad karma level has increased by 60.] Oh. Giving you 60 bad karma? It was purely for his own personal satisfaction, but he killed only 3 people due to his bizarre murder method, and the bad karma increased by 60. At that time, while looking at the rted message, Jeffrey was happily opening the status window and checking it. A new quest was created with meaningful messages. [A whisper is heard calling you from the shadows of death and grief.] [Specific conditions have been met.] [The quest Harvest of Innocent Souls has been created.] [Please check the rted information.] Um... .? A quest that suddenly flew in without any notice. However, after confirming what was written in it, Jeffrey checked it a few times with round eyes as if he was surprised, then muttered. Hmm... to turn all the residents of Coil Vige into undead? Coil Vige, a small and peaceful rural vige, was the first base Jeffrey left after starting Arcadia in the past. In this vige of less than 500 residents, he received a lot of help. [Jeffrey! Thanks for helping mest time. This is... small, but rewarding.] [Jeffrey! Isn''t everything great today?] [Uhm..... I don''t usually get a lot of kobold mrs... But since you''re one, I''ll buy them for you at a particrly reasonable price.] Until I became a necromancer, I built a lot of foundations there and got along well with the vigers. A friend of Jeffrey. A heinous quest that betrayed humanity to turn all of them into undead. However, he did not feel any hesitation or hesitation about such a fact. I just wonder what the rewards are for that. The reward is... the death knight summoning skill...? Death Knight, one of the top-level undead. Everyone wanted to learn this skill, which was no different from a necromancer''s romance, but due to the extremely limited acquisition path, the auction house boasted astronomical prices. Of course, it was a reality that even that was not avable for sale, so no matter how much money you had, you couldnt get it. A skill so valuable that any necromancer would roll their eyes. He smiled at the fact that he could get it just by killing a few vige NPCs. Its a jackpot. That''s how he immediately ended his own secret pastime and headed back to Coil Vige. To get the Death Knight summoning skill by turning all the vigers who greeted him kindly into undead. * * * Ellis who oversees everything in Arcadia. She was reporting the quests she was granting to Jack, the chief developer, in real time. [Currently, there are 534212 users who are on quests rted to Pandemonium, and the achievement rate is 82%.] Quest progress is rtively high. And looking at the gauge that was nicely visualized on one side, Jack said with a frown as if he couldn''t understand. [No, why is the questpletion speed so fast? When did it start, did it already exceed 80%?] The 4th main scenario Demon World. A grand narrative that reactivates the gates of hell hidden throughout Arcadia and triggers the invasion of the demon world. It was not a simple story, but a scenario that would have a key impact on the entire continent, so the requirements were designed to be more difficult andplicated than expected from the beginning. However, the current Arcadia is very different from the previous one. That''s why the difficulty of the scenario itself was iparably lower than the original n. [Due to the fall of the Holy Empire, there is no core force to check their ns. In addition, due to the recent second half crisis scenario, security in each country is extremely unstable, so there is no system capable of detecting and preventing rted incidents...] The situation in Arcadia is so chaotic. As a result, there were no people anywhere to detect and stop the ns of the evil warlocks to spread out and bring the armies of hell to the world. [So... just to say the conclusion, because of all sorts of riots and incidents, there are no more people to stop them, and because of that, the scenario is progressing at such an absurd speed...?] [That''s right . ] [So.... when do you think the scenario will start in earnest?] Jack asks the exact time. And to that question, Alice gave the answer after a moment of silence. [Considering the current pace of progress, the scenario will start within the next 60 hours.] [It''s too fast...] Less than 3 days left. asked Jack, lost in thought, looking down at Arcadia, a perfectly lopsided yground where any significant opposition hadpletely disappeared. [First of all, in the current state, in general, no matter what happens, you mean that the Demon World will win?] [ In principle, it is.] [There is only one variable that can create a different ending...?] [Yes.] That A definite victory of the Demon Realm that cannot be prevented by any means. However, even in this gloomy situation, there was only one huge variable that could create a different ending. [Haa.....] A user sitting with an archangel and a demon king on either side as if he didn''t know anything. Dex. He, who is perhaps more influential in the game than himself as the creator. However, he has not even logged on for over two months. Looking at him, Jack sighs. Chapter 422 Chapter 422 Demon World (3) Arcadia, the fantasy world. In a world full of mystical magic and terrifying monsters, demons and angels were unique. good and evil. Two huge forces that split intopletely opposite dichotomous values and cause countless disputes and conflicts for an eternity of time in an extreme confrontational rtionship. heaven and hell. From the moment of creation until now, those who have continued to quarrel with each other in endless antagonism. However, with Arcadia in between, the angels'' camp clearly prevailed in their influence. [A dark threat is imminent throughout Arcadia. Through a thorough investigation, uncover the plot and punish all those involved.] [The shadow of darkness ising to the Derun area. Be sure to investigate the relevant situation and make a judgment of justice.] Archangel Michael, who foreknows the future and insights into the truth, with the foresight of causality. Thanks to her outstanding and merciless leadership, the Holy Empire Saints and Holy Kingdoms seized supremacy over the entire continent with overwhelming power. Heaven, which gave them enormous power, used them to aggressively beat the ck magicians and thoroughly trampled the sprouts of the demon world that were growing. But... the stronger the light, the thicker the darkness. A Saint of the Holy Empire who boasts absolute authority and power and can achieve anything he wants with overwhelming power. And with their power, demons and devils should not have been able to even set foot in Arcadia, but rather, the evil has be more and more secretive and huge. [There is no mercy for those who deal with evil demons. Repent under the judgment of the true God.] [Rotten flesh contaminates the surrounding area. Cut out all the surrounding flesh so that there is no remorse.] As if there was no negotiation with the devil, the Holy Empire gave away all mercy and thoroughly punished them all with punishment and retaliation. But it was obviously more ruthless than I could have imagined. [ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... Mother !] [No. It''s unfair.] The Heretic Judges and Holy Knights have shown their ruthlessness many times to show God''s judgment regardless of means and methods. Although they are revered as holy and noble people who act on behalf of God, to those who were unjustly sacrificed, they were no different from demons worse than the devil. [Ah..... God... why.....] [Why did you do me this kind of pain...] An extreme fanatic who burned dozens of thatched houses to catch bed bugs. field. And sweet voices have always been heard in the ears of the victims who were shedding bloody tears and suffering because of them. [Do you want revenge...?] [Do you want power...?] The worst moment of losing a precious person and being immersed in grief. Demons always whispered to those who felt endless anger and hatred towards the Holy Empire and the world itself, and longed for revenge. [If you want to avenge the one who made you suffer at any cost, call on my name.] [I will give you the power to avenge that.] A humble and ordinary citizen of Arcadia who has neither money nor power nor influence in the world. field. That''s why those who couldn''t do anything with their own strength took that hand even at the cost of their souls. [My name is Nargal.] [My name is Lilith.] [My name is Gluttony.] Nameless lowly people who gained power by making contracts with countless demons and spread throughout the continent. Driven by their unbridled rage against the world and their resentment towards the Holy Empire, they set out topletely overturn this contradictory and twistedndscape. [My followers. Thoroughly carry out the task for the resurrection of the great darkness.] [Open the gates of hell for the destruction of the Holy Empire.] [Stain this world with blood for your revenge.] In the contradiction of goodness The blooming evil. And the good that bes more heartless and cruel in order to beat the evil that is getting bigger. The forces of evil, which continued to grow in strength without being rooted out in the cycle of the endless wheel of the wheel, finally announced its resurrection. [Act. 4 Satisfying all conditions necessary for the start of the Pandemonium Invasion scenario.] The ck magicianspleted all tasks before the time Ellis predicted had passed. When all the adventurers and NPCs came together toplete their tasks and satisfy all the difficult and difficult conditions, Alice finally began the prelude to this huge stage that had been previously designed. [Optimum Scenario No. 3362.] [Code-002. Start emergency patch.] [Code-283. Apply the changes.] Automatically proceeding update. And as a result, a huge change began to ur in the barren wastnd of the central continent of Arcadia. Whoops. Originally, it was an ordinary hunting ground inhabited by a small number of monsters. However, a sudden and violent earthquake began to ur there, and soon something gigantic tore the ground and revealed its appearance. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. Kwaaang. A huge building in ck. Its geometric and beautiful appearance, shaped like an altar, was like a work of art, but it soon began to radiate a tremendous amount of dark energy. Kee... Kieeeek. Crukreuk. Kreuk. A building that exudes such ominous power that even monsters without intelligence detect something strange and flee with all their might. And not long after, thend in the area began to turn ck. And..... uhhhhh. A huge portal opened to that altar. Numerous things soon began toe out through the door that pierced the huge and mighty dimensional wall that blocked the Pandemonium and Arcadia and forcibly created a passage. Kiehehehehe. Kyaaaaaaaaaa! Numerous devils of hell with appearances that make the taste of food fall apart just by looking at them. Those who live in the Demon Realm where only the survival of the fittest and thew of the weak are the best. Although they were low-level monsters faithful to their instincts andcking intelligence, they were powerful individuals whose fighting power could never be ignored. A wastnd filled with hundreds of thousands of hellish armies. And soon, the demonic beasts that protruded endlessly gradually decreased and nothing came out, and at the end, an existence began to slowly walk out of the swaying crack of the dimension. [Hmm..... It''s been a while since Arcadia...] A being with goat''s horns and bat''s wings. Resonus, a low-level demon with a typical demonic appearance and the lowest-rankingmander of the 2nd Corps, who follows the will of Nargal, the lord of ughter. He looked down at his hands in total disbelief and muttered as he lit up ck mes. [I didn''t believe it when I heard it, but... that you can reallye out with all of your body''s power... that''s amazing.] When you appear in Arcadia through summoning or advent, at most half... at worst. He could only use less than 10% of his strength. It was a few experiences in the past, but he recalled the memory of that time and smiled pleasantly for a moment. grip support. Huge sparks spread around his body, and he seemed to have taken a slight blow. However, he nodded with a strange smile as if he knew. [Right. It''s because I still don''t have the power of the Pandemonium to exert my own power...?] There are countless restrictions on Hell''s Gate. After breaking them, he confirmed that he could not summon his power and the higher beings until the demon world''s darkness encroached on this world. [Go guys. Destroy, tear and devour everything. Today is the day of predation that you have been waiting for so long, so paint this world with despair and fear and spread darkness widely . Resonus at the forefront of the As the only intelligent body and acting as amander, he looked at the monsters advancing with a bizarre cry and spoke as if he was truly honored. [Everything goes ording to the will of the great Dark Lord.] * * * [Ha..... It''s progressing faster than expected.] Jack already knew that the rted scenario would begin. So it was not surprising, but I sighed as if I was having trouble with the fast-paced narrative. [How long has it been since the second half crisis scenario ended, and such a grand narrative...] Another huge event has urred that will throw the entire continent into chaos within a few months without a year''s term. It was a video that was obvious without even looking at it, starting with the creation of users who would be harmed or dissatisfied with this, and a huge riot. Just forcefully bury it...?'' That''s why Jack, as the chief developer and creator, had to protect this precious world he had created, so he seriously contemted even the extreme measures of fundamentally preventing this scenario from starting. Of course, insisting on the great principle of infinite freedom or infinite possibility, Alice would have blocked it, but as the person with the highest authority, it was theoretically possible. However, despite a lot of trouble, he couldn''t do that in the end. Wow..... The game got really crazy while I was in America? A boy who is watching the moment when the Hell Gate opens in real time through the monitor and the invasion of the Pandemonium begins with an interesting look in his eyes. Top manager Kim Min-soo. He said with a yful face as if he was enjoying this spectacle while eating popcorn without looking away from the monitor as if it were very interesting. I was disappointed that the 2nd Holy Demon War scenario was scrapped, but I didn''t expect the scenario to be transformed in this way. Alice''s autonomy and judgment are higher than I thought? Is it because the amount of data collected is as vast as that of Argos? [Yeah..... I don''t know the difference? It was like that from the beginning.] Jack tries to answer roughly with a smile on his face, but inside he is sweating profusely. It was in his heart to want to intervene in this situation through numerous methods, including President Lee Mi-yeon, right now, but that was impossible now. Hey. I thought for 10 years after starting the service, it would just go t without any fun, but it was very hot right from the start. How many big scenarios like this happened? Are you saying you regret not paying attention to it earlier? He sips a Coke, regretting that he missed too many fun things to see. It was a serious matter that determined the survival of thispany, but he muttered as he looked at the current situation with an interested face as if he didn''t care about that. Will it turn into a post-apocalyptic thing if Pandemonium takes over? I don''t think a zombie or survival thriller would be bad... Unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. Asura, the chief manager of this virtual world and the owner of the ck mist, created the principle that all stories must bepleted in the hands of users freely without any interference. As long as Asura was watching this world, Jack... no one dared to touch it. He is the epitome of a naive and petty personality who repays resentment a hundredfold even if he forgets grace, and he forcibly stuffs a big and huge taffy into his mouth in an extraordinary way. Jack couldn''t help but watch. I hope that Asura''s interest will cool down and he will turn his eyes elsewhere as soon as possible. Chapter 423 Chapter 423 Demon World (4) [Act. 4 Invasion of the Pandemonium] As soon as this scenario in which demons from hell began to appear in earnest, public opinion in the world rapidly heated up, as if it were about to explode. -??? Are these bastards really insane ..... -Is this... what is it? Is it a post-secondary crisis or something? -No, how long has it been since the invasion of machine civilization ended? - Seeing thise out, I wonder if it''s just that thepany is going to close down. -Gold quote hell, Gazua~!!!!! Starting with the story of thepany going bankrupt, all kinds of nasty sounds areing out from all over the ce, and it is truly a dizzying situation for the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. However, those who had already foreseen this situation tried to ovee it head-on through extensive propaganda. [This scenario is a setting based on the myth of the Great War of the Holy Spirit. As you can see if you carefully check the various literature and settings in the game, the texture ispletely different from the second half crisis that urred just before. Also...] The existence of demons living in the world of demons that existed from the beginning and can be found in countless historical records. Exining them in more detail, the spokesperson strongly emphasized one fact in front of reporters. [Furthermore, it is not the intention of our management to initiate this scenario. To be honest, it was our intention to dy it as much as possible considering the recent situation. However, guilds and organizations with various interests, including users ying as warlocks, triggered the scenario at a faster rate than expected.] In order to start the scenario on the screen, arge number of users secretly Thousands of tens of thousands of quests that have been cleared are tightly listed, clearly showing that all of this is thanks to the hard work of many users. [This scenario is simr to witch hunts in the past. The good that suppressed and trampled evil. And the evil that resisted him and eventually stood up. It was just a scenario that would inevitably happen in the midst of the battle and conflict between good and evil, which are fiercely confronted at both extremes. It is clearly stated here.] It is not what they did. I emphasized that it wasmitted by dark-type users, but since they had already made simr excuses several times over a long period of time and piled up karma, the reactions of the users were cold. -That''s really fucking right lol -???: We''re not at fault! It''s all their fault! - No, it''s a problem because you keep putting strange scenarios into a normal game. - One split is so fantastic that you can really admire it. So, good and evil are divided again, so that you fight to make your nose bleed? The world of Arcadia seems to have no idea what peace is. In their own desires, in their respective interests, all sorts of incidents and idents are rampant and rampant, and those who feel tired in this world like a devil''s cave have expressed their dissatisfaction over and over again, but someone has taken this situation as an opportunity and secretly shined their eyes. Hmm... how is it...? Excluding sharply divided upation groups such as warlocks and priests, optionsmon to neutral users only. Looking at it, James, a ranker from the North American continent, was seriously thinking and his eyes were shining. [Quest The crossroads of good and evil] - Demons from hell who are trying to devour this world have begun to flock. A choice must be made as entire continents are thrown into turmoil as you kneel under the mighty dark lord and attempt to taint the world with evil. Will you side with the demons and help corrupt the world? Or will they be judged in the camp of angels? A quest that forces two options as if neutrality is not allowed. All you have to do is make a choice... It wasn''t a very difficult problem, but after checking the results, he couldn''t make a hasty decision. It is overwhelmingly beneficial to choose evil, but... If you choose the evil camp, you must join the Demon Kings Army and participate in this war. It didn''t seem like a good choice to be on the side of those who were encroaching on the whole world, but surprisingly, many users were already on the side of the demon king''s army. -If you belong to the Demon King''s Army, you can open a Demon World store and buy this or that with bad karma, but the things are really crazy. -A low-ranking demon gave me a reward for 3 demons saying that I was doing a good job. -Hey uh ..... I''m a subus ..... -If you be a Demon King, you will be given a title, but if you wear this, your experience will be doubled. -and. oh my god. Among the things that can be bought with bad karma, there is also the right to transform into a demon. -??? demons...? Is that even possible? Neutral users whoe with enormous additional benefits and stand in the camp of demons one after another, seduced by such rewards. And that was obviously due to the great influence of the absence of the fallen Holy Empire. -Ah, I chose the first camp because I don''t think I''m a bit of a devil, but there''s nothing...? -Didn''t you know that the Holy Empire was destroyed this time? The house is all burnt down, so I''m in a hurry to take care of myself, but what could be there haha. -Don''t choose the castle camp. There''s nothing there, it''s just garbage. The title doesn''t matter too much. Originally, the Holy Empire should have held strong hegemony over the entire continent. Therefore, in order to bnce this situation, it was nned to be biased by providing additional advantages to those who chose the camp of the demon world, so there were very few people who chose the side of the ragtag angels due to the fall of Eden. As this information began to spread in Arpendia, neutral users gradually flocked to the evil camp and the weight of the scales began to tilt. But even so, James couldn''t make a choice easily because of the anxiety that was creeping in strangely. Why are you so... embarrassing...? It is rational to choose the camp of evil, but anxiety pushed to a level close to instinct. So he struggled for a long time, but in the end he had to suppress his instinct and make a rational decision. [You have chosen the evil faction.] [The fork in the quest selection has beenpleted.] [The title Follower of Evil'' has been acquired.] [ The Pandemonium Shop has been opened.] [Incorporated into the 2nd Corps of the Demon King''s Army. .] [The quest Conquest of Middle-earth has been created.] [The rted mission has been assigned.] [Please check the contents.] . . . As soon as you make a choice, countless messages pour in like a bombardment. Waving his hands in the air, he blew off all the notification windows and soon checked the newly created Pandemonium Shop and rted missions. Hmm... definitely things that everyone has no choice but to be smitten with. Options that require you to destroy the world you''ve been ying so far with your own two hands. However, he gripped his sword as he saw the sweet rewards he received. As the faithful demon army of the 2nd legion ruled by Nargal, the lord of ughter. To stain this world with evil. * * * Hehehehehehehe.....hehehehe. Lord of Chaos. Demon King Satan. In Arcadia, in the form of a familiar, he was spewing out a sinisterugh as he watched the current situation without anyone knowing. Is it good? L looked at me with a pitiful face and asked. Then Tan shouted with an excessive reaction as if it was natural. of course! Don''t you know what''s going on? I! And the demon world! I can confidentlye out into this world! Finally, the moment of reversal of the tide hase and gone. During this time when Jaeyoung was absent, Tan focused on opening up this huge scenario by keeping a close eye on the trends of El and the Celestial World. That''s why he muttered with a thrilled expression that he was about to shed tears as he recalled the many sorrows of the past. I didnt give in to your dirty tricks, and despite all the sorrow and sabotage, I finally... saw the darkness even in myter years. Ha... really... L always tried his best to interfere, saying he didn''t care if even the roots of the pirs of the celestial world were pulled out to screw him up. Tan, who was always giggling with a huge and bulky candy in his mouth because of her, shouted with a triumphant face. I''m going to run with this momentum and destroy all the foundations of you and those fucking chickens. The charter is turning from today, so feel how miserable it is to beg for probabilities in a rented room. Grinding his teeth, Tan renews his will for revenge, saying that he will pay back the sorrow he has suffered a thousand times over. However, L gave a short reply with a strangely indifferent face. Wherever you try it. L answered insincerely in a tone as if he was not worth dealing with. At her reaction, as if the army of demons spreading all over the continent wasn''t that big of a threat, Tan made an expression as if he felt something strange. what....? That reaction...? What am I? L reacts as if he is not interested in this. Obviously, he reacted the most violently to this situation, and it was normal to hold on to his cor. You... what the hell are you up to? Tan sensed that there was something he didn''t know. That''s why he questioned her with a sinister face, and L smiled and said a meaningful story. You are mistaken about something... War is a war of attrition thatsts for quite a long time. what....? By the way... if you overdo it like that, dazzle the adventurers andunch an all-out offensive, you''ll have an advantage in the beginning. But... things aren''t going as well as I thought? Tan prepared for this invasion by pouring all the possibilities into living without it. That''s why he aggressively robbed all the treasures of the underworld and attracted countless adventurers to his side, but strangely, El didn''t exhaust any probability. He is just quietly watching the situation as if he is deliberately trying to conserve power. You... can''t you...? Tan widens his eyes as if thinking about something. But then he shook his head as if he couldn''t do that. No, your substitute has already been killed by me. Since Eden has already been corrupted, a scenario where he directly descends and wages an all-out war against us is impossible. It is even impossible to close the Hell Gate that has been left open. Losing all of the most powerful divine apostles and practically losing most of the ways to implement the power of the heavens in Arcadia. That''s why it was Tan who forced this invasion, but she gave her face as if she was pathetic. So you and your subordinates are stupid. Babies are always so focused on what is happening right in front of them that they fail to see the big picture. ...what the hell are you talking about? The Hell Gate has already been sessfully opened. In a situation where he could radiate the power of the demon world more powerfully than ever before, Tan couldn''t understand El''s words at all because he thought that the defeat of the heaven world was certain. Did you forget? Are you... no, exactly the fact that there are people who will roll their eyes if you and I try to mess around here in Arcadia...? what....? No, wait a minute... if you do now... Tan clearly looked puzzled as if he had noticed something. But El said with a strangely evil smile. don''t worry. I''ll intervene eventually. After you put all your energy into descending somehow and exhausted all possibilities. But I''m not the one you have to deal with right now. This damn chicken... What a cowardly sapling... Tan gritted his teeth as if he had figured out the n of that vicious and cunning chicken. But L smiled and replied to him. Dont you know the saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend? If you twist it, you can invite a friend too. ..... However, Tan couldn''t protest at all. The leader of all demons and the ruler of the demon realm. Satan, the corrupt demon king of chaos. He was the king of a world with all of his power, power, and goods, but even he had no friends. Chapter 424 Chapter 424 Pandemonium (5) Hell-Gate, the gateway to the Pandemonium. Divided into 6 bases, the pouring out forces of the demon world devour major cities and kingdoms of each continent andunched an all-out offensive. And unfortunately, the Baikal Empire, which had this Hell Gate in its own domain. It was the most powerful ce on the European continent, but it was impossible to stop the all-out attack of demons that existed only in this myth with only human power. Your Majesty the Emperor of Fire... please... The final moment when even thest guardian who defended himself copsed while bleeding. The emperor of the Baikal Empire sighed in despair at the fact that the demons who had alreadypletely taken over the entire pce were staring at him from all sides and salivating. This... this cant be... He ascended to the throne and ruled the empire for decades. Seeing that the empire he had been protecting for such a long time copsed in a single moment, he was enraged in futility. However, his body was so decrepit that he could not even wield the sword properly. Sensing that this was the end for himself... and this empire, he fell to his knees without realizing it. Kurrururr..... Then, the hideous witches began to react as if they would attack at any moment. He closed his eyes, looking at the sharp teeth that seemed to split him in half in one blow, but no blows came. You seem to be the lord of thisnd. A woman slowly approaches from afar. With a beautiful appearance that exudes a fatal charm that makes you fall in love just by looking at it, she approached the emperor of the Baikal Empire with a lofty gait unlike her voluptuous body. Then he said hello in a polite way. A mid-level Demon belonging to the 6th Corps of Pandemonium. Meet the lord of men. The beasts, who had been snarling fiercely as if they were about to attack at any moment, became quiet as if they had never done so when she appeared. However, the emperor began to tremble uncontrobly from fear that he felt iparable to before. Evil... demon...?'' demon tribe. Also called demons, beings who live in the Demon Realm, apletely different and independent dimension from Arcadia. Stories and records rted to them could be found in countless ces, but the experience of directly facing the demons was extremely rare. [The beings of hell summoned by the ck magicians are just inferior beasts without intelligence. Basically, those who are called real demons with bloodlines lend only part of their powers through contracts and do not directly appear in Arcadia. This is...] Being bound by numerous restrictions, an existence that could note over to Arcadia unless an enormous sacrifice was made in return. If you recall the stories of extremely rare demons that appeared in countless tragedies that stained the entire continent with blood in the past, the existence of the mid-level demons in front of you was truly terrifying. Ho-ho-ho. I''m a noble being who can''t bepared to those low-level demons, so don''t worry too much. I have no intention of preying on you. A woman who lightly flicks her fingers as if she is not eating. Then, the witches instantly scattered somewhere. Have you calmed down now? A woman who smiles as if all the intruders have disappeared, and puts her face right in front of him with a seductive smile. However, a small horn rising above her head, her pupils that were torn like snakes, and the small ck wings on her back clearly showed that she was not human. ...what the hell is this about? He seemed to lose his mind at any moment, but as a monarch, he answered with dignity until the end. He gave him an iprehensible answer. What are you doing? I am going to make you a very honorable and great offer. Any suggestions? The monarch I serve. I''m trying to serve the great dark lord in a different way from other demons. I believe that we should not simplye forward and kill, take away, and subjugate those who resist, but rather make them kneel because they truly want to. Subus Queen, Lord of Lust and Desire. As a member of the 6th Corps led by Lilith and a middle-ss demon of the subus n, Liene, who set out on the task of conquering this continent, was trying to do business in a more sophisticated way. Roaring. mes rose in her hand, and a ck scroll soon appeared. She said as she pushed through the one on which something was written on it. Swear your obedience to our great dark lord. If you just agree to and sign this contract here, you will be able to live as the ruler of thisnd as you are now. What... what...? He who had just given up on life. However, at her sweet whispers, which suddenly urged him to sign the contract and promised that if he did so, he would be able to continue ruling the Baikal Empire, he began to read the thick scroll in his hand with an expression of iprehension. What the hell is this...? why. Is there any problem? People in all realms governed by the parties to the contract are regarded as belonging to the demon realm and absolutely obey thews and regtions of the demon realm. In addition, when the future life ends, the ownership of the soul is permanently reverted to the demon realm, and it cannot be denied in any way...? An absurd contract full of all sorts of toxic uses. To put it simply, at the idea of eating the souls of all human beings living in the present Baikal Empire. What does it matter what happens to other humans? The important thing is that you can sit on that throne again and rule as the king of humans without dying here. He whispered in a soft voice, Give away thefort of others. And she asked, gently kneading the emperor''s body here and there with both hands. Is there anything else you want? territory? strength? youth? goldfinch? If there''s anything you want, just say it. I will put my name on it and grant that wish. However, at that proposal, the emperor closed his eyes tightly and thought hard, then pushed her away and shouted. Where is the ugly seed of evil ying dirty tricks! Even though it was the moment when he met his end, he was still the emperor who ruled this empire in name and color for decades. That''s why he couldn''t do anything to throw all the souls of the people of thisnd, including himself, into the clutches of demons. If you want to kill me, kill me. I don''t know, but the soul of this empire wouldn''t dare do anything to you. I would rather die proudly as an emperor right now than to be your pitiful dog through such a ridiculous contract. ....is it so....? Liane smiled coldly for an instant at the emperor''s fierce refusal. And then she came closer to the face of the emperor who was breathing heavily with a terrified face and whispered. I''m sorry, but that''s not what you meant. what....? town....! Lillene suddenly kisses the emperor. It would have been like a dream for a man to kiss a beautiful woman first, but the emperor struggled amid fierce resistance. But she doesn''t budge and continues to kiss her. And not long after, after the emperor had calmed down, Lianne slowly opened her mouth and asked with a decadent smile. how is it? Have you changed your mind now...? Unlike before, the gaze of the emperor with the gun missing. The emperor, who had been staring at Liane with a nk face, soon lowered his head and said, Yes, Master. Calling him master, he picks up the contract he just threw and writes his signature on it himself. The mid-level demon, who had achieved tremendous results in collecting the souls of the entire empire with a single contract, murmured with her enchanting eyes shining. Yes... Now you have be a cute dog that listens to me. The emperor sat on the throne with satisfied eyes and looked over the documents as if nothing had happened. After looking at him for a moment as if he was going to continue his normal routine, he turned around. mes burning everywhere and ck smoke billowing violently. All kinds of Demonic Beasts that fly, run, and unleash their power to their heart''s content. And despair and fear from all sides. and screams of death. Stepping out of the imperial pce, what she faced was the view of the capital of the Baikal Empire overlooking from the imperial castle located at the highest point. Haah ..... The most satisfactory and happy moment for her, who is a devil who eats and lives and feels joy. That time when you unconsciously tremble in your eyes and moan at the rush of pleasure. ck mes began to rise in front of her eyes. oh? Why do you contact me first? She muttered as if she was really surprised. However, the voice that came from the mes was full of irritation towards her. [Shut up, you damn foxy bitch. Do you think I do it because I want to?] Hmm..... Well, our elite first corps can''t be like that. What is it? [A new order has been issued.] Orders...? suddenly....? Even before they set foot in Arcadia, they had thoroughly established their strategy for each corps. She is following the perfect n conceived through hundreds of thousands of inspections. However, she was puzzled by the sudden new order, and when she heard the contents, she shouted in bewilderment. What are you talking about? Advance to the Central Continent? Isnt that thest target to attack? [Who doesn''t know that? Suddenly, drag everything right away and deal with it from there.] No... the humans over there are of different levels... You know that you can''t win with the current level, right? The other continents are rtively even and equally prosperous in Arcadia. But among those continents, there was one most unusually strong. The Korean continent of the past located in the center of Arcadia. Unlike other ces, it is an abnormal ce where victory cannot be guaranteed until a corpsmander descends directly. That''s why it was thest ce to attack, but the sudden order to attack there waspletely iprehensible to her. [I''m going to jump into the world tree''s den right now and smash everything.] The world tree...? Are you suddenly touching it? During thest Holy War. The World Tree remained neutral without being on either side in the fierce confrontation between angels and demons. When told to attack them, Lianne asked again, wondering if what she heard was correct. No... are you sure about that? Shouldnt we start by striking the remaining sacred kingdoms? The most powerful Holy Empire has copsed, but the Holy Kingdoms still remain on several continents. She thought it was right to prioritize attacking those ces first, so she asked without raising her suspicious eyes. Where the hell did that ordere from? Haven''t you heard anything from our corps yet? But the answer to that question was simple. [This is my order.] What...? A cold voice suddenly came through their secretmunicationwork. Because of that, Liane kept her mouth shut as if her thoughts had stopped for a moment, but soon after realizing who the owner of the voice was, she stuttered with a contemtive face. Uh... how... The great dark lord. Ruler of all the fallen and ruler of Hell. Satan, the demon lord of chaos. All the demons who crossed over to Arcadia, including Liene, could clearly hear the orders he gave himself. [Immediately jump to the Central Continent and kill the saplings. okay? As for thest bastard, I start with the corpsmanderter and beat him one after another.] Chapter 425 Chapter 425 Pandemonium (6) After the Invasion of Pandemonium begins. The users divided into good and evil camps began to fight each other fiercely, but the appearance was clearly different from the witch hunts of the past. Destroy everything! Aaaaaaaaa! The divine camp, which boasted an overwhelming numerical superiority and killed the users of the dark camp to its heart''s content. However, because the power had already shrunk iparably to the previous one, most neutral users chose the evil camp, and the charter waspletely reversed. Hahaha... Contributions pile up, pile up. The time for revenge has finallye! Where have all the priests gone? Numerous users carrying hideous weapons everywhere in search of prey. There were all sorts of nasty and bizarre-looking monsters running around, so most of the users with divine-type jobs were putting their heads down and hiding as much as possible. -and. these crazy bastards As soon as I logged in, they rushed at me and killed me. -What are you doing in this situation? If you are a priest or a pdin, stop ying for a while. - The charter ispletely unfavorable. Since the rewards are so good, even regr users are all attached to the Demon World side, so it''s probably impossible to win. -DD..... But what happens if this is pushed like this? Are the Dark Ages suddenlying? Divine-type users who could not bear to ess the game due to the risk of death and watched the real-time situation through Arfandia. However, while watching countless kingdoms and cities being pushed from all directions, they were debating over and over how absurd the current situation was. -Isn''t this too much of a loss of bnce? How to wake up in this situation? -Really;; Even demons are appearing over there, shouldn''t angels also appear? - Even the Pope has been behind for a long time. What do you want? Haha - So, if the demon king descends and eats it all up, game over? end? reset? -Then we should immediately storm into thepany and burn it all down. -Dongmangem level haha Those who do not ess the game and just y around with the keyboard as if they are watching other people''s business. However, unlike him, the camp of evil entered this war more fervently than anyone else, not sparing their lives, and burned their zeal. Everyone turn back! I said I was going to beat all the Priest bastards! Ill cut them all up and throw them away! During the witch hunt in the past, dark-type users who had suffered all sorts of persecution and oppression without any guilt. As a beginner, they suffered from being killed for no reason as soon as they chose their job, so they were the ones who held on to all sorts of miasma and resisted to the end in spite of evil at the moment of weakness when they couldnt even attack properly. They were enjoying this moment of revenge more than anyone else. good! Legion of Death! Show our fury to the enemy ahead! The Dark me Dragon, the conductor of death. Having be stronger than ever before, he led tens of thousands of undead legions alone and annihted all enemies blocking him with a wave of force at the forefront of this war. Geuuuuuu..... Kieueee! Master hasmanded you to take your supply and demand freely. It smells like the ugly smell of the living. Starting from basic undead such as zombies and skeletons, high-level undead such as Durahan Death Knight, Lich Banshee, and even superrge undead such as zombie drakes in Abomination, a huge power that is literally the total set of all undead. Those who faced his troops as enemies, who clearly showed the meaning of the one-man corps, felt extreme fear and lost their fighting spirit and ran away. - Wow..... How can you summon that much? - It''s impossible to have only good items. Maybe it''s because it''s a hidden ss? - It''s also incredibly efficient than that. -Skeleton Knight Archer Mage..... I''ve summoned all of them. -The ghouls are in a strange state too, right? insanely fast -Are there wyvern zombies? Death Knight rides and flies? -These crazy..... People who were shocked to witness the sight ofpletely devouring a facility that looked like a military fortress by themselves. It was driving so fast and taking over the entire continent quickly and in all directions, but Tan looking at it was just nervous. hey! Yours! What the hell are you doing here! Sanctuary of the World Tree located in the center of the Arcadia continent. Tan, who appeared at the ce where she was living, looked at El and the World Tree, who were talking amicably there, with ferocious eyes and questioned them. What are you doing toe in without a word and give a fuck? Won''t you go away? The world tree growled fiercely with a look of sympathy at Tan''s appearance. However, as if he didn''t care about her threat, Tan shouted with a face full of evil. Why is that damn chicken here! What are you two trying to do behind the scenes without me knowing? uh? A chance toe from behind. Until now, the opportunity to feed the taffy had finally arrived, as if to show it properly, but when another important variable emerged from this situation, Tan did not back down and argued with resolute momentum, as if he could never tolerate it. However, the World Tree looks at his words as if he is dumbfounded. And she shook her head as if she hadn''t even thought about it. What are you trying to do? Did you think I would just stand by and watch you try to eat the entire continent? It was a choice I had to make in order to protect my mission, so stop talking nonsense and get out of here. The World Tree turned around like a knife as if there was no room for negotiation. But Tan shouted as if he was unfair. But this is not it! This is a fight between me and that fucking chicken! And am I trying to destroy this Arcadia? You''re just going to dye it a little darker! This is an act that deviated from your mission! battle between good and evil. In the story of the Holy Demon War, which was decided from the beginning, the World Tree was not originally the main character. She has to be an observer, serving only as a minimum breakwater to prevent theplete destruction of all living things. However, at this moment, seeing that he distorted even his own mission and chose to actively intervene, Tan warned him. Are you confident enough to handle the aftermath of this? The price he had to pay instead of twisting the mission and exerting his power in the direction he wanted. probability. Tan asked if it was okay, knowing that the moment she intervened in the fight, a huge amount of probability would be exhausted. Then, the World Tree burst into annoyance and shouted. Oh shut up! Do you think you like me and help that psycho bitch right now? what....? To be honest... I know! I know! Those chickens and you are just as irritating as cockroaches that I want you to get out of my realm for good. The World Tree honestly wants to take advantage of this opportunity topletely oust the two powers from the continent of Arcadia. But she couldn''t. Rather, he had to hold the hand of that abominable chicken guy who shamelessly reached out to himself and asked for help. But... not now. Even in preparation for the great disaster toe... Neither you, nor that chicken, nor anyone else should cross Arcadia. what....? What bullshit is that? An omnipotent but not omnipotent fallen ruler of the underworld. Demon King Satan. Unaware of the great disaster toe in the future, he asked back with a face that he did not understand the words of the world tree, but instead of her trembling green eyes and momentarily terrified expression, El stood in front of Tan and said, Right now, take all of your henchmen and go back to the Pandemonium. Then our alliance will end. A strange alliance of chicken and seedlings. Seeing this unprecedented and unprecedented rtionship, Tan looked at the two with an indescribable expression, but soon shouted that it could never happen. Not until I get dirt in my eyes! What an opportunity you got! Do you think you bastard who has nothing like an apostle can beat me no matter how hard he tries? Apostle. An agent who acts on behalf of the gods and expresses their power. The heavenly powers, which hadpletely lost Pope Amen and the most powerful apostles, could never defeat the mighty forces of darkness. In the past, Tan had raised an Argamer''s essence by directly imnting it into his heart. ck me Dragon of Darkness. It wasn''t really his apostle, but the ck me Dragon of Darkness, which had grown so strong after that, and the power of the Maroon Kingdom, which had gathered around him, were not at a level that the Holy Kingdom could win. that''s right. You can''t win. what....? It was a sacrifice I had to make in order to prevent the resurrection of the underworld, but I''m sure... and the glory of the heavens has weakened beyondpare to the past. But there is no one who seems like a hero who can ovee this situation and save the light. It was a battle that could never be won with the senile kings who had just be engulfed in peace and the saints who were still too young. No hero could be found anywhere else who had the firm faith to fight the evil and darkness that came valiantly in this war. So... I''m going to make a choice that I can''t help. What the hell are you talking about...? Tan couldn''t understand L''s story as if he was talking to himself. El asked him again. Of course you dont have any intention of giving up right now, right? ...are you crazy? You are giving up. okay. I''m an idiot for putting my hopes on a fucking bat like you. L smiled wryly as if he hadn''t expected much and put on a sad expression. And soon, an intense divinity began to surround the World Tree. Woo woo woo. What is this... The pure white divine power that shines softly as it merges with the mighty green vitality emitted by the world tree. Looking at her, who seems to be exerting all the power allowed to him by drawing out the power of the heavenly world, which is now too weak, Tan nkly opens his mouth. Imand you as a holy Aspect of Glory and Guardian of the Heavens. As the ruler of the celestial world and themander of all angels, she plucked out all the pirs of the celestial world and exhausted all possibilities to create her own apostle. Apostle of life serving the mother of all things, you are the holy and brilliant representative of the heavens, and you will hold both the position and position. The heavens will bless the path you are walking and will always be by your side. An apostle who represents the will of the World Tree. Nature''s Will Choco Piezoa. Michael gave another title to him who was appointed as the half (?) half of the other (?) and carried out the mission following the World Tree. title of Pope. Woo woo woo. The moment when a mighty divinity shines down somewhere in the sky. Tan realized what Michael was doing. This... This... chicken baby..... is he really crazy..... Tan was shocked by the insane barbarism of that damn chicken and young seedling who were trying to stop him even like this. An unprecedented and unprecedented situation in which one human being monopolizes the power of two transcendent divine beings. But that wasn''t the end. My new apostle, I bring down upon you the sword of holy fire that burns fiercely. Raise that sword and punish the evil that pollutes this world. A heavenly instrument and Michael''s weapon. Muspelheim. Tan couldn''t keep his mouth shut as he watched from afar as the god, which had never appeared before the end of the Great War, descended from the sky. really.... Do you want to see the end? Michael''s behavior of going all-in as if he was living only today. Seeing that, Tan gritted her teeth, but she didn''t back down. If you''re scared, you''ll die. Chapter 426 Chapter 426 Demon Realm (7) The root that supports the entire continent of Arcadia and the mother of all things and life. An existence that serves as a bridgehead connecting the world itself and the spirit world and the fantasy world. world tree. As the only being on the continent of Arcadia who possesses divinity and the second child of her father, she surely possessed a powerful force that no one dared to match. However, the world tree is bound by a powerful mission that cannot use its mighty power and divinity in any offensive direction. That is why she was always surrounded and protected by those who protected her. Elves, her most loyal children who exist and were born for the World Tree. Those who love nature more than anyone else, understand the value and meaning of the World Tree the most, and follow it. So, until now, the World Tree had chosen its apostles among the high elves, who had the most noble lineage among the elves. But..... [The sessor do it''.] [If you don''t do it, I''ll keep sending it until you do it.] [What if you don''t do it? Everbeb.] The world tree was forced into a situation where he had no choice but to be chosen as an apostle due to Dex''s atrocities (?) of sending ignorantly identical humans as a branch of the test he had gifted. Thus, for the first time since her creation, she chose a human instead of an elf as her substitute. [I want to be stronger. So that those who have never heard of my story and exnation do not dare to ignore my words so that they do not have to suffer any more unfair deaths. And so that no one on this continent dares to ignore or scorn me.] The sincere aspirations of human beings who have been frustrated by countless unfair deaths. Thanks to that desire, Choco Paijoa was able to be the Apostle of the World Tree and the Will of Nature. Throwing off the look of a level 82 warrior and being born anew, he has since grown stronger with incredibly rapid growth. -Clear Choco Paijoa''s impregnable dungeon Cerberus''s Hell''. -Choco Piejoa''s highest level spirit revealed. -Achieved Choco Piezoa level 280. -Choco Piejoa..... He is at the top of the overwhelming power as a Spiritualist. In the process of carrying out his mission ording to the will of the World Tree, powerful forces gathered around him. The Mother of all things told us to prepare for the disasters that wille to this world ording to hermand. Please tell us which way we should go. May the blessing of green leaves always be with you. The forest will always wee you, dear friend of nature and spirits. A high elf n that has regained its noble lineage thanks to the blessing of the World Tree. And countless fairies and spirits gathered one by one from all over the continent around them. Originally full of low-level and dangerous monsters such as goblins and ogres, the Amil area was turning into a home and haven for mysterious beings such as fairies and nymphs and ent dryads. The kingdom of the age of myth so lost. The moment the Elven Kingdom is wriggling for its resurrection. A lot of darkness began to pour in here. Keeeh! Kyaaaaaaaa! Goooooooooo! Demons of hell who look grotesque and hideous enough to make your limbs tingle just by looking at them. From as small as an adult male to asrge as a house, an enormous number of demonic legions were advancing through Amil''s Great Forest. Subscribers, do you see this? I''m on my way to the World Tree right now, but it seems that all the troops from all continents are gathering here. As you can see, the number is staggering, right? Moreover, ording to the stories we hear now, it is said that demons of higher rank or higher are starting to appear. Maybe if you go like this, sooner orter the demon king too... Kya. what did your brother say? I can''t even eat this! Didn''t I say it''s arge event that you have to board even if you die? This epic item was tailored thanks to the sweet umtion of contributions by quickly boarding the dark coin! If you wear this alone, the damage is increased by at least 40%pared to before, and there is a special effect... If you catch this, how much will the contribution be reduced this time? Are you curious too? Then like, subscribe and even set notifications! There are numerous adventurers among the legions of the demon realm. Due to the real-time broadcasts sent by those who chose the evil camp and joined the Demon King''s Army, the whole world was able to check the situation happening in Arcadia in real time. -Wow..... The advanced demon level... is that so high? -400...? Isn''t that enough to deal with 3 master level yers at the same time? -Because the Pope was estimated to be at level 500... It''s almost the same. - Aside from the demons, there is no answer to the monsters or levels. It seems to start at least level 200? The forces of the Pandemonium appeared in earnest for the first time in this Arcadia. It was revealed that he had tremendous power beyond imagination, and everyone was surprised, but soon asked as if he did not understand. -But why are you suddenly hitting the world tree? -I know? Shouldn''t we hit the Holy Kingdoms first? The demon king''s army abandoned the sacred kingdoms that still had power and started attacking the world tree in the center. Those who did not know the inside story were watching this situation as if wondering, but in the camp of the world tree, they were waiting for the war with a sense of spleen. Enemies areing! Those who began to be agitated for a moment by the cries of the elves who sensed the enemy invasion through the spirits. However, soon after seeing the two people who stood at the forefront, he began to prepare for battle with a strong fighting spirit. Brothers and sisters, the forest will always protect you to the end, so please do your best to protect this forest. The damn dark forces over there are advancing to kill all of us who used to live peacefully. But we are glorious guardians of nature! And thest bastion of the World Tree! Never back down! Melissa, the head of the High Elves. Angel of the World Tree, Choco Paizoa. Elves and fairies built a defensive line led by the two most powerful people in the camp of the World Tree. And they did their best to throw themselves into this battle. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu these wicked seeds of evil! Stop! Do your best not to advance even a single step! They are setting the forest on fire! Turn off the lights right now! Noahs! Bury them all! The elves and fairies did their best to form a blockade in the forest to stop the endlessly invading forces of the underworld. They were resisting as much as possible by making full use of the power of the spirits and the advantages of the forest, but their defenses were clearly reaching their limits due to the reckless attacks of those who were not afraid of death. Quaaaaaaagh! Kale! Ha ha ha ha! How dare a weak elf y tricks against this Ferdos! A high-level demon Ferdos. With the appearance of an elegant scion, with a fishy smile and gushing blood from the victim he just in, the powerful demonic energy rising from his whole body became a powerful de with just that energy, tearing everything around him into hundreds of pieces. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... An elf groaned, feeling helpless at the overwhelming strength. Ferdos, who looked down at him with cold eyes as if despising him, said. Die and throw away. The des of darkness pouring down along with those words. However, the de did not serve its original purpose. Huh...? A water curtain created by the highest level spirit. Even though they were high-ss demons who brought all of their body''s power, the attack was not enough to break through the defense of the highest-ss spirits right under the spirit king. Ferdos, who looked with interest at his attack, which was blocked by obstacles and vanished in vain, soon turned his eyes to the being that blocked his attack. ...can''t you step back right now? Choco Pie Joea looks tired, but her eyes are alive. It seemed that he had exhausted quite a bit of his strength, but Ferdos asked with his eyes wide open as he did not back down from himself, who had the strongest force here. Is it you...? Who the great dark lord ordered to kill? ...What nonsense is that? But Ferdos didn''t answer that question. I just muttered as I looked at him carefully as if I was looking at an interesting toy. Interesting. Interesting. An adventurer with immortal powers and an apostle with the divinity of a god at the same time. He''s apletely different guy from the worm-like adventurers I''ve seen so far. He muttered to himself as if he was really having fun. And then, his eyes lit up and he smiled. Killing will be fun. what....? What is that all of a sudden... Quaang. An attack that flies before you can even answer. When a huge de of darkness flew by, Choco Paizoa instinctively created a shield. But as if he didn''t mind, he continued tosh out. Ha ha ha ha! Hang on somewhere! The strength of the great and valiant n of Nargal! Quaang. Wow. Wow. Storms of magic flying in from all directions. Choco Piejoa, who was in a hurry to avoid and defend it, barely endured it. However, he was unable to block hundreds of thousands of demonic des flying in all directions, and soon fell to the ground with a miserable face. [Received fatal damage.] [Falled into a dying state.] [Bleeding for abnormal conditions.] [If you do not quickly recover your health, you may die.] He fell to the floor, bleeding all over his body, and looked at him with satisfaction. A high-ranking demon, Ferdos, looking down. He wasughing maniacally, as if he was proud of the fact that he single-handedly defeated Choco Paizoa, an apostle of the World Tree and possessing the divinity. Kuhuhuh... Kuhhahaha. You are really weak. ..... Choco Pie Joea lying down unable to speak properly due to a state abnormality. However, seeing his still unbent eyes, Ferdos''s face distorted for an instant. And soon, as if he had an interesting idea, he muttered with a fishy smile. Oh yeah. Death is nothing to you adventurers. I was thinking wrong. A wanderer adventurer blessed with the power of immortality and a being from another world who does not die even if he dies. Realizing that death meant nothing to the target he had just defeated, Ferdos looked at countless people fighting for life and death on all sides and whispered to Choco Pie. Then... I will kill all those you cherish with my own hands. I will ughter every single one of them, so that even their souls cannot rest. A high-ranking demon, Ferdos, a member of Nargal, the lord of ughter. He felt the greatest joy in the process of massacre with the power specialized in massacre, and soon began to raise the energy of his whole body as if he was looking forward to it just thinking about it. Koo Goo Goo Pce. An aura of destruction spreading from the middle of the Great Forest. In the great demonic storm, everything was torn to shreds and began to disintegrate. That moment when that powerful blow was directed at the forest n. Powerful brilliance began to pour from the sky. cooong. Keuuuu ..... A power that is ipatible with all evil. divine power. A powerful and pure divinity that even a high-ranking demon could not handle suddenly began to encroach on the surroundings. What the hell is this...? Woo woo woo. The height of divinity that even a mere human or a lowly angel could not imitate. With that powerful and overwhelming power that holds transcendent divinity... And as he watched the monsters screaming in excruciating pain and burning and turning to ashes just by being around him, Ferdos murmured with a shocked face. Choco Pie Joea, who had been wriggling on the floor like a bug until just now. However, seeing him stand up intact in that powerful radiance... And seeing the mighty power felt in him and the sword burning with the fierce torch in his hand. Ferdos froze without saying anything. hey. ...? Choco Piezoa, who haspletely changed from earlier and speaks with a ferocious face. And those were thest words he heard on earth. What are you, why are you attacking all of a sudden? Chapter 427 Chapter 427 Demon World (8) Lee Chan-hee, an ordinary student returning from military service. Having lived an ordinary life no different from others, he started Arcadia like his peers with grand arms. If you y this game well, you can make a lot of money, right? Dreamer was purchased by collecting military sries every month and investing all the money he had umted throughout his life. He stepped into the game dreaming of winning and winning in the future and drawing only a rosy future, and soon faced many hardships. [Are you that fucking swindler?] [Choco Pie, please do something about it.] [Sir. sir. Mr. Choco Pie.] A mysterious impersonator who perfectly disguises his appearance and name andmits all kinds of evil and atrocities. It was Choco Pie that received the attention of too many users and the persistent revenge of those who were harmed by it, but it was no different from poison to him. [what? I thought it was incredibly strong, but it''s really rice, right?] [Err! A ruined baby. Did my brother get scammed by a guy like you?] [Will he throw some good items if he kills him?] Unlike the huge fame that follows him, Choco Paijoa is actually just a level 82 warrior. Unlike the achievements that the impersonator has umted, he does not have the power or anything to do so. It was impossible for him to ovee the attention of the public, who had so many expectations and resentments for him, who was very ordinary... or, rather,cked more than others. Choco Piejoa, who faced countless unfair deaths and overcame the harsh and arduous life of a beginner. And on the day he finally met the impostor after a long wait, his fate waspletely reversed. [The World Tree has designated you as an apostle.] [The mission system has been added.] [Follow the will of the World Tree and fulfill the assigned task.] The mother of all things and life who has finally emerged after waking up from a long dormancy. world tree. Choco Paijoa, who became an apostle of her, a high-ranking deity with divinity, and was endowed with enormous power that would be too much for a single human to bear. And since then, he has continued to grow so fast that no one can follow him. No, I had to go on. Damn it..... An impersonator who continues to shake the world with his image and name even after the meeting. His exact identity was unknown, but what he was doing in Arcadia was a gigantic thing that no one dared to attempt. To destroy the Holy Empire and prevent the ancient deity from reviving. Defeat the mechanical civilization that wants to devour this world. Completely dominate andmand the forces of the gigantic slime. The one who saved the world of Arcadia. Choco Pie Joe. In order to ovee the fame given to him, he was fiercely striving to grow day by day, but his fame only grew so huge that he couldn''t keep up with it. He always took on the role of the main character on a stage created by an impersonator, not himself, and had to deal with all sorts of aftershocks both internally and externally. I have to do my best, really..... How to fix this. But... it wasn''t that he couldn''t achieve anything in his fierce efforts. [Ant n, the spirit of an old giant tree, has decided on a new ce to live with you.] [ The dryad, a fairy of the mysterious forest, has decided to reappear in the world after long deliberation.] [We have collected all the lost spirit birthstones and seeded in restoring them. ] [The energy of the spirits is strengthened throughout the continent.] [A new tribe of elves has been born.] [The divine beasts withdraw their distrust and coldness towards Arcadia.] [The power of the World Tree has been greatly restored.] [The spirit realm . and fantasy channeling has been strengthened.] . . . Thoroughly fulfilling the mission given by the World Tree endlessly. In the process of solving numerous near-impossible tasks, in Arcadia... no, in Amil''s Great Forest, new changes were clearly emerging. Woo woo woo. Due to the strengthened connection, the spirits full of curiosity wandered around the forest and yed. Strange animals and nts with magical and mysterious powers began to appear everywhere. The fairies and spirits, who were known to have disappeared in ancient times, began to interact with the outside world by setting up a home. The realm of the World Tree, a haven and refuge for nature, spirits, and all life. Resurrection of the Elven Kingdom. And in the process, Choco Paijoa formed a deeper rtionship with the elves than anyone else. At first I couldnt understand it at all, but now I think I understand. Why did the World Tree choose you as his substitute? As the representative of the Greenleaf n and the Queen of the High Elves, I express my deep gratitude and respect to you for your efforts to revive the Elven Kingdom and prosper all things and life. Choco Piejoa, obsessed with appearance and beauty more than anyone else, led negotiations with countless different races on behalf of the people who were discriminated against. In the process, he cried,ughed, got angry, quarreled, and had many experiences and memories. [There are various concerns expressed by various experts about Arcadia, but the biggest problem I think is the unmatched immersion. The beings called NPCs that you meet in this virtual world have a deep sense of vitality and reality that makes you doubt whether they are really illusions or not. Unlike other games that simply respond mechanically, they feel emotions and act like real people. That''s why it''s possible to form a deep emotional rtionship with them, and people like this are being observed everywhere.] Just like the case of Morse, who dered that he would single-handedly destroy the Holy Empire in the past. People who are more immersed and sold out in virtual rtionships than in reality to an unusual degree. Chan-hee couldn''t understand these people at all, but he was able to understand them in the midst of the great crisis he faced. Kreurreuk! Keeeh! The gates of hell that have been opened to Arcadia. The monsters and demons of the demon world that appeared there started an all-out offensive to devour his domain and the home of the World Tree. And in that battle, he only wanted one thing. I will not let even one person die.'' He started the battle with a promise to protect no one from dying as much as possible and to drive out the beings of hell from the realm of the World Tree. However, the enemy''s offensive was more powerful than expected. Hehehehe.....hehehehehe!. Haa... The spirit of the forest n is sweet as expected. Kundo! hungry! Give me something to eat! Demons who did not appear through a trivial sacrifice and a clumsy summoning ritual of a mere ck magician, but legitimately descended into this world beyond the dimensional rift that existed from the beginning of the world. These demons of hell, who fully disy 100% of their natural power, were not something ordinary beings could stop, even if they were low or intermediate. Quaaaaaagh! Save me...! Although they are doing their best to block them, countless ns in the forest fall down with screamsing from all directions. Choco Paijoa fought alongside those who were risking their lives to protect the defense line that was gradually crumbling. However, the Demon World''s offensive with all its might was not enough for him to block. Ha ha ha ha! Hang on somewhere! The strength of the great and valiant n of Nargal! The emergence of a powerful evil that even the spirits, elves, and divine beasts that always protected themselves could not stop. He is in danger of copsing and dying without being able to properly resist the powerful attack of the advanced demons. Chani, who fell into a moribund state and was unable to move or even speak, was in despair. - Wow..... It''s over. -Even high-ranking demons are no joke. - If Choco Piejoa loses, didn''t you say everything? -By the way, Choco Paijoa fought on the side of the Demon Worldst time, so why is it fighting on the side of the elves this time? -Really;; When did you turn into a demon king and kill the Pope and why is it the other way around this time? -Sometimes you look like apletely different person. I think that high-ranking demon is still weaker than the Pope. -ah. But talking about that high-ranking demon is too cheesy. Are all demons like that? - Steamed. People who watch his broadcasts, are astonished by the strength of the Devil World, reveal his past deeds one by one, and throw strange questions and doubts. However, no one was sad ormented over this situation. - Thank you for your hard work ^^ That''s all for today''s broadcast. -Is the age of darkness reallying? -Ah, should I just convert to a ck magician right now? -It would definitely benefit from taking sides with the Demon King. Users who are just struggling with the direction and options to go forward and only worry about the direction that will benefit them as much as possible. Even in the fall of the Holy Empire, the invasion of mechanical civilization, the descent of the demon world, and many other disasters and crises, most users risked their all to resist or not fight. - Isn''t it a game anyway? -Why are you taking the penalty and standing on the side of the World Tree? -Since there is no holy empire, the world tree reces the castle camp. Haha - Isn''t this just dereliction of duty, priests? To them, all of this was just... a trivial incident that took ce in a game that was nothing more than virtuality and fantasy. The moment when the story of Choco Piejoa, who had been fighting a lonely battle leading only a small number of users and NPCs, was about toe to a tragic end. A message appeared before his eyes like a lie, as if this story was not the end. [The Holy Aspect of Glory is watching you.] [It has decided to make you its new substitute.] [Do you ept the offer?] The Holy Aspect of Glory. An unknown message telling me that I don''t know who it is, but that I''ve chosen myself as my surrogate. Choco Paijoa unknowingly put his hand on Y in front of a high-ranking demon who was about to deliver the final blow to him, who was on the verge of death. and that moment. A great change began to happen to him. Woo woo woo. What is this...? The distorted expression of the stunned high-ranking demon and the numerous messages that covered his eyes. Although he could not read all of it, he was able to clearly realize the changes taking ce in him with his body fully recovering and the enormous power filling his entire body. [Those who have resisted and fought to the end without giving up against the great evil.] [The heavens will always brilliantly shine thest light and hope to protect this world.] [You are the heavenly spirit who judges evil and implements justice . It is a spear, a shield that will protect this world from great disasters, and a beacon and light that will always give everyone the direction to go.] [As the representative of the heavens, judge all the evil in this world with the holy fire and save them from crisis.] Choco Piezoa jumped into this war with all their might to protect thend. The power of destruction emanating from him. divine power. The high-ranking demons who were directly hit by the wave of divine power, which is a symbol of the heavens and is no different from rat poison to all demonic beings, screamed grotesquely in intense pain. Chiyiyi profit. Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! As his whole body burned and suffered, he suffered a fatal blow in an instant and rolled on the floor. He looked at the person in front of him with a face of disbelief. Impossible...how...! Choco Piejoa, which had the sacredness of the World Tree. Feeling another powerful divinity felt from him with his whole body, he shuddered and shouted with a shocked face. Something like a human... How can you have two divinities! The Apostle of the World Tree and the representative of nature, the Will of Nature. Michael''s apostle and heavenly vicar, the Pope. With these two transcendent positions alone, Choco Paijoa finally became the main character in her own stage, not a stage created by her own impersonator. Taking on the role of a hero who is a guardian and judge to stop the invasion of the demon world. Chapter 428 Chapter 428 Demon World (9) Arcadia, a fantasy world born from a human who was born with a deformity of hemiplegia and has lived his entire life in a deep undergroundboratory. Jack was born with a body that could not even move a single finger properly and built his own world. And Kim Min-soo, who implemented all the systems so that the virtual world can be supplied to the real public. As the chief developer and the chief manager, these two people who had equal shares in Arcadia were called bypletely different names in Arcadia. The Father and Creator who created this world, created and nned everything. Asura, the owner of the ck Mist and the symbol of the end. Two people who seem to pursuepletely different goals and directions. However, there was something inmon between the two. story. A narrative created in infinite possibilities and infinite freedom. Users who stand on stage in their own way somehow in a scenario that has already been decided, and improvise and change the storypletely. Jack and Minsu, watching their adventures and their stories, were looking at the current situation, looking down on the entire continent moment by moment without taking their eyes off for a single moment, as if they had found an iparable fun entertainment. Wow..... Work is more exciting than I thought? Kim Min-soo is looking at the situation that is happening in the world of Arcadia through the monitor with twinkling eyes. As he munched the popcorn in his hand, as if he were watching a movie, Jack answered as if he agreed. [Yeah... I didn''t expect this kind of situation either... It seems like it was an unavoidable option in the current situation in the heavens.] Jack is watching the current situation with a slightly serious face. As a developer, from his point of view, the current situation was no different from an unexpected situation that deviated from the thoroughly nned intention. [No matter how much it is, was this a system-wide possible setting? There seems to be a lot of room for problems, but there must be some conflicting parts between the missions of the two deities.] No matter how broad autonomy is granted, it is clear that one individual is designated as the deputy of the two deities. Jack, who did not even imagine, let alone intend to choose. That''s why he himself tilted his head, wondering if that was possible, but Eris answered him immediately. [It''s not impossible in terms of settings.] [No matter how hard it is. There are not just one or two users who have a hidden ss in the divine line , so couldn''t you choose an apostle among them? It wasn''t that there weren''t any users who didn''t change their job and yed silently because they couldn''t give up what they had achieved so far as priests and holy knights, so from Jack''s point of view, the factor with that possibility'' must have existed somewhere. [On what grounds did you skip all other divine-type users and grant that Choco Paijoa the rank of an apostle? I know that there were users who were carrying out scenarios for the reconstruction of the Holy Empire...?] Prospective users who are showing great prominence as divine users. arms of the Lord. The true taste of the cross. Faith in each battle. Tight Siloam. Those who have not yet abandoned their firm faith and faith in the heavens and continue on the path of ascetics. After the Pope''s death, the divine power was greatly weakened and he experienced a tremendous loss of power, but the fact that Choco Paizoa, an apostle of the World Tree, was suddenly selected as the Pope, leaving behind all those who were making up stories to restore it step by step. Even he, the creator, could not understand it at all. But to Jack''s question, Alice, as always, gave her own answer. [Please check rted data.] The justification for Choco Paizoa to be chosen as Pope. In the midst of theplex data, where fragments of numerous stories are intertwined, Minsu murmured while manipting the pad in his hand as if he was interested. Hmm... thats right. So that was it. Minsu kept muttering with an evil smile on his face. And he said to Jack with a smirk as if he was caught right away. Jack, did you intervene a lot behind the scenes without me knowing? [what....? What is that all of a sudden?] A glorious celestial medallion. An item for changing jobs to a Holy Prophet'' who will y a leading role in the Great War of the Holy Spirit. However, when the item went into Jaeyoung''s hands, a contradiction arose, and in the past, Jack arbitrarily changed the item''s settings and intervened in the game. Since then, Jack has not given much thought to the profession of a holy prophet. When Minsu mentioned it, he momentarily flinched and shut his mouth because he was stabbed. [Why is that?] Since the first and foremost target to be an apostle of Heaven has disappeared, the choice has no choice but to change randomly. Even though the situation was unavoidable... isn''t it a natural trend for such an unpredictable situation toe out as long as the existing n went awry? A hidden ss holy prophet made as an arrangement for the Holy Demon War in the past. With the loss of the main character who would represent the adventurers and lead the camp of good on behalf of Heaven, all other factors with that potential had no choice but to copse. When the person who ys the role of holding the center disappears, everyone has no choice but to copse like dominoes. Looking at the data now, it seems that no one is actively fighting in the first camp. Everyone is in a hurry to save themselves, so they dont connect and just watch. [.....] No matter how realistic the world is, most users are simply enjoying entertainment as strangers. That''s why I was able to watch them react more sensitively to their interests than anyone else and engage in selfish behavior. -If it''s not me, eh eh eh eh! -? ??? Good priests. -It was disrespectful for wizards to campaign. gone hell - If you log in now, you automatically enter the war? Yeah~ Where can you try it? You can''t connect. I don''t want to lose money, so I don''t want to pay for it, so it seems that there is no one in the holy camp who is willing to fight desperately for whatever reason. Rather, only that user, who has absolutely no connection to the divine faction, fights against evil more resolutely and truly than anyone else. That''s why Minsu smiled mischievously at Jack, who was staring nkly at him, and said coyly. When I saw it... I think this was a situation you brought on yourself? [.....] Jack is just looking at the unprecedented situation that is happening in the world of Arcadia with a shit-chewed face. And Minsu, who was looking at it, smiled and put the popcorn in his mouth. Now... then, how will the evil campe out like this...? Looking forward to the ending of the story that will unfold in the number of infinite possibilities that no one can predict. He contemted the world of Arcadia through the monitor with eyes full of anticipation. * * * Satan, the demon king of chaos, representing the camp of evil. While the owner was away, he had been intervening in the world unknowingly and unknowingly, exhausting his enormous probability. Such a fucking chicken... Tan made a threatening sound as if his strong teeth were about to break. He was watching the scene of the massacre unfolding below with his own two eyes, revealing his intense anger without hesitation. Wow. Furrrrrrr. Keeeeeeeeeee! Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Demons and demons who are the proud protagonists who support the Demon Realm and are their faithful servants. The intense army, which seemed to push the camp of the heinous sapling at any moment, could not easily approach it because of the power of destruction with the atrocious nature. Woo woo woo. A sacred instrument representing the heavens and Michael''s weapon. Muspelheim, the eternally burning sword of the Holy Fire. Looking at Choco Paizoa, who was holding and wielding the absolute sacred weapon that infinitely spews powerful divine mes, the ferocious monsters screamed in fear of death, and the demons with reason let out moans in shock and shock. . How on earth could that sword be used against a mere human... Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu possible possible..... Wrong..... This is something we dare not deal with on our own line It''s not like that... Although it is said to have overwhelming numerical superiority, it is a divine power so powerful that one dare not even approach it. Looking at those who were at a loss because they couldn''t ovee the difference in rank that was so drastic that even a mere beast would burn their entire bodies, Tan had no choice but to make a choice. [Everyone retreat. Concentrate on fully opening the gates of hell as quickly as possible.] Amand resonated throughout the Demon King''s Army. As those who received his thoughts began to quickly retreat, Amil''s Great Forest, which had been a fierce battlefield until just now, regained its tranquility. and that moment. In Arcadia, a new mythological narrative was born. [A huge evil invasion to destroy this world. But against that threat, countless tribes of nature risked their lives to resist.] [And one adventurer who led them. Although he was an apostle who followed the mother of all things and life, he was more honorable than anyone else, overflowing with justice, and devotedly took the lead to protect hisrades, his home, and this world . my story. And as a result, miracles took ce in infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. [The birth of a new pope representing Heaven. The descent of the Divine me Goddess who defeats the darkness. Everyone in the world will remember this incredible miracle and pray while looking at the small light of hope rising in the darkness.] [ Heavenly miracle in the sanctuary of the World Tree. As thest bastion against darkness and a beacon to shine on this world, Amil''s great forest will faithfully fulfill its role. As the only haven of light and justice that does not allow darkness, as well as a sanctuary that protects and embraces all things and life in this world.] A lonely war that no one wanted to participate in. A valuable victory that bloomed in despair where hope is nowhere to be found. And in that story, a new sacred ce representing the heavens was born again in Arcadia. Woo woo woo. [The Great Forest of Amil has been dered as a new Holy Land''.] [The connection with the heavenly world has been significantly strengthened.] [A new pope has been born.] . . . Those damn bastards... where do they poop on ready-made rice like this? Tan muttered as he red at the gigantic world tree in the middle of the Great Forest with cold eyes. At the same time, he huffed and grumbled for a long time, as if the strange alliance between this chicken and Myomyeon was absurd. good. Where are you going to try it? Tan muttered coldly as if he had decided on something. And he said with a huge energy in his hands. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. Just as the young chicken shreds all the roots of thest pirs of the celestial world and pushes all the probabilities. As if he himself would bet everything on this war, he muttered, raising an enormous probability. Whether you die or I die, lets see the end this time. Chapter 429 Chapter 429 Demon Realm (10) The absolute ruler of the realm with transcendent divinity. A being who has been with this virtual world from the moment of creation. Archangel Michael. and Demon King Satan. At the same time as they were just born, they had a divinity close to omniscience and omnipotence, but in return, they were bound by absolute missions and restrictions, and had no choice but to be like puppets. [Good despises evil, and evilughs at such good.] [Good is corrupted by the contradiction of good and bes evil.] [ In the abyss of evil, good always emits its faint light.] [Evil is born from good. And goodness is born from evil.....] [This world will never find rest in the endless, eternal struggle between good and evil.] Powerful and solidws that sustain this Arcadia. As NPCs who move ording to the setting of the so-called world view, the fight between Tan and El was no different from a constraint imposed by force that even the person himself could not dare to control or block. The two cannot prevent or avoid the oing fight and, as always, cannot be reconciled forever and must confront each other by biting each other. Under the setting of that huge world, another mythical story was being written in Arcadia. Woo woo woo. A Choco Paizoa holding a sword of mes emitting a brilliance so intense that one cannot dare to look at it. Looking at the new title written above his head, people started pouring out chatting in disbelief. -What is this..... -The Pope... Choco Piezoa...? - Does this make sense...? No, that Choco Pie Joa has nothing to do with the priest at all...? -No, more than that, that sword on the hand over there...? Pope''s new birth. and the resurrection of the Holy Land. That alone was shocking, but the chat window went into a frenzy at the information from those who found out the identity of the mysterious sword that was fiercely spitting holy fire from Choco Paijoa''s hand. -Muspelheim...? crazy! Why is that thing in that bastard''s hand? -? what is that? -Can''t even search? Or try searching for it yourself. -A miracle in the heavens...? What is this... A burning sword of eternity. An instrument representing the heavens and an armament of Archangel Michael, who is said to be the Aspect of Holy Glory. They were astonished and deeply suspicious of the fact that the notorious and powerful god, which had a record of burning the entire continent and driving out the evils encroaching on the world in the past, had reappeared in Arcadia. -What the hell is that Choco Piezoa? -Really;; Are you a spirit sage? Are you a slime master? -In the past, I yed demon kings and angels. -You also summoned the King of Spirits, right? A strange situation in which the person who killed the pope and further brought down Eden became the next pope. Numerous people began to feel confused by the various actions that could not even be followed. However, their reaction wasughablepared to the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. What the hell is this! Why is that user suddenly bing the Pope! Choco Piezoa, who had been designated as a special surveince target, was closely monitored by mobilizing all possible means and methods. ying as an apostle representing the camp of the World Tree, he was obviously a target with a lot of influence, but being elected as the pope was an unexpected variable that even they did not dare to anticipate. Damn Alice... what the hell are you thinking?'' The conclusion of the scenario analyzed that it would surely end with the one-sided victory of the demon world. As a result, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-hwan, who was preparing for this, groaned inwardly, unable to hide his embarrassment at the sudden development of the scenario. Check the updated data right now! Thoroughlypare and analyze what has changed from before and report it! Hurry up because there is no time! A narrative that changes from moment to moment. In order to prepare for the ending it points to and the aftermath that follows, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han brushed off his employees. In this way, the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. continued their busy day today. neither nned nor intended. To prevent the aftermath of the story of this world. * * * Demon King Satan. He used to be called various modifiers in this world. great dark lord. An indescribable horror. Ruler of all the fallen. The Absolute of Burning Hell. . . . Called by countless modifiers, he reached out to this world and dyed the whole of Arcadia with blood and fear. But among them, there was another modifier that Tan preferred the most. [The Oldest Darkness] Sometimes in Arcadia, he shook the world and shook the world by making a contract between a human and a soul crying out for revenge in despair andmentation. But at this moment, the situation waspletely the opposite. Lets see where it ends, you damn chicken. Tan burns with a vengeful spirit as the chicken and seedlings are full of drugs. The ce he headed was none other than the Maroon Kingdom, where the ck me Dragon of Darkness he had faced in the past resided. Eh..... First of all, to talk about the current situation, the number of guild members participating in this scenario is about 90,000. Most of them are currently in a situation where they are active as demon lords close to the end. Still, by collecting bad karma figures and focusing on increasing the power as much as possible... He sat on the throne with a bored expression and a stupid expression while listening to the guild executive''s regr report. Tan said as he patted him on the back of the head as if he had gone to the bean field with an expression as if he was going to die of boredom at first sight. hey. hmm....? The ck me dragon of darkness inadvertently turned his head at Tan''s call. And he was momentarily taken aback by the disgruntled baby imp in front of him, and immediately jumped up from his seat in amazement when he saw his modifier written above Tan''s head. Are you all...? the oldest old darkness. A mysterious existence that suddenly disappeared after endowing priests and pdins with undeservedly powerful power because it was not enough to save them from being nearly killed in a witch hunt in the past. The ck me Dragon of Darkness was shocked at the fact that he had reappeared, but everyone was looking at him with a curious face, wondering if he was invisible to others. ...? Master? Why? What''s wrong? Kheuheum ..... Several bureaucratic NPCs and guild officials were looking at the situation with a puzzled gaze. A situation like a madman muttering into the air was being staged, but as if he didn''t care about it, Tan looked at him, who had a clear expression of bewilderment, and said, Yes, you. Do you think it''s okay to sit here and y king? yes....? What is that... Tan started to grieve as soon as he suddenly appeared. Because of its dainty size, it was cute rather than scary, but the ck me dragon of darkness shrank involuntarily at the fierce force emanating from its small body. All the other children go out to the battlefield and are working hard to push away the seedlings and chickens. uh? Do you think I invested in you like this? That''s not... it''s not. Apparently, just a few days ago, Choco Paijoa was actively participating in the conquest of the demon realm by going to the battlefield and wiping out several cities alone. It was a ck me dragon that felt sorry for Tan who suddenly appeared and asked what he was doing right now. Huh..... that''s it..... what am I supposed to do? Anyway, there arent any useful guys around. Theyre obviously my sellers, but what? Suddenly, Tan let out a deep sigh andined about his bad life. And he stared at the Dark me Dragon for a long time before asking. You remember what I saidst time? yes....? What... I''ll scoop it all up for you, so you just asked me to chew it thoroughly and swallow it properly. I do not remember? Ah... yes. I remember. The story he told himself while imbuing himself with the essence of an Argamer. Tan spoke with a grim face to the ck me Dragon of Darkness, who remembered the past when he was endowed with great power in unknown circumstances and eventually became the monarch who led the dark kingdom. This time the damn chicken bet everything. yes....? No matter how much Heaven has stored up a huge amount of probabilitypared to the Devil World, Michael''s move to designate an unqualified person who has not umted the basic karma of the pope as an apostle and even hold his own god is literally a gamble with everything. there was no This absurd gamble where the stakes were so high that it was impossible to get involved. Either take it out now or risk everything at a corresponding level. With only two options remaining, Tan finally made up his mind. They say that if youre scared, youll die... But in this situation, no matter how you look at it, youre scared, so I dont think its okay to take it out, right? Woo woo woo. What is that... Tans story is nothing more than a one-sided notification without an exnation of the situation or any understanding or agreement. The ck me dragon tried to step backwards without realizing it, but strangely, his feet didn''t move at all. It would have been better if you had been a dark knight instead of a necromancer... that''s a pity. As the conductor of death, he leads tens of thousands of undead legions. Looking at him with a powerful weapon that no dark knight dared to deal with, Tan murmured as if he was truly sorry. I can''t help it. Im not in a position to cover cold rice with hot rice. I hope you chew it well and swallow it this time too. What is that... keuh...? Then, without any warning, he put his hand, which was full of ck power, into the ck me dragon''s chest again. Poo-wook. Imand you as the lord of all the fallen and the demon lord of chaos. Woo woo woo. As the ruler of the demon realm and the lord of all demons, he also pushed all the possibilities andpletely reborn the ck me Dragon of Darkness as his own apostle that never existed. The ce where your steps stop will be full of terrible curses and rotten stench, so the anger and resentment of the dead who suffer in death will make no one find rest. A sticky energy of darkness that spreads around the ck me Dragon of Darkness. You are the lord of all living and dead and my apostle who leads the legion of death. Lead all the fallen souls and clearly show the world the anger and resentment of all the dead. A realm of death that pollutes the air, pollutes thend, corrupts countless souls, makes them suffer forever with endless resentment and anger, and is filled with only the stench of corruption. And countless undead popping out of thend. The moment when everyone is looking in astonishment at the bizarre incidents that are taking ce around the Death Field, which is spreading around the capital of the Maroon Kingdom. This time, Tan and El''s souls to see the end werepleted. Death Lord, follow my mission and kill the heavenly messenger. Giving the dark me dragon the title of the lord of death, even maddening, Tan ordered him to kill Choco Paijoa. With his death, this world willpletely fall to the Demon Realm... and kneel before me. The story of the Second Holy Demon War, which has already been twisted. However, ironically, the story waspleted again in apletely new way in the gambling table where the two of them were betting theirst everything. [The scenario has been updated.] [Act. 4 The 2nd Holy Magic War] Chapter 430 Chapter 430 Pandemonium (11) A transcendent control personality and artificial intelligence that observes and analyzes everything in the vast world of Arcadia and responds to changes in the world in real time. Alice. Although she had vastputing facilities and databases that could handle all the signals on Earth alone, due to the myriad variables that have been spreading in Arcadia recently, her system was barely reaching its limit to the point of worrying about being overloaded. wereing and going [Scenario significant variables ur.] [Rted impact analysis... Best.] [Explore additional scenarios that may ur in the future...] Excluding a few settings and limitations, NPCs are allowed maximum activity and autonomy. she. That''s why we were able to implement virtual NPCs that are more realistic than reality... unmatched and lively, but thanks to that, many unexpected variables continued to ur. [Hoh.....Wouldn''t you two be taught by me?] [Hmm..... Let''s see..... If the circuit here is adjusted like this...] [Toward the unknown ocean. keep moving forward! We are the sailors of the sea! I am a member of the Caribbean!] Dragon Lord Goldrian performed an unprecedented entricity by taking two adventurers as his apprentices. Haimer broke away from his traditional role and opened up a new horizon of magic called magical engineering. Carlos continues to sail the uncharted sea and proims the realm of freedom for countless poor people. In addition to that, in countless variables, those who abandon their existing roles and create a new destiny. And that was possible thanks to the existence of none other than an adventurer. unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. Adventurers wandering Arcadia freely, unbound by any restraints. In a situation where they contact and interact with them, create a new story, and be the protagonist and helper of a new scenario and narrative that ispletely different from the existing ones, variables that even Alice or Jack, the creator did not expect, continued to appear. And at this moment..... A new narrative change was being born again due to the unexpected actions of Tan and El in conjunction with the adventurers. [This crazy.....] Jack checked Alice''s newly updated main scenario. And he muttered, shaking his head to and fro with a tired face. [Do you really mean to put an end to each other? Why the hell are you running this far...] The newly born representative of the Pandemonium, the ck me Dragon of Darkness. The scenario of the 2nd Holy Demon War that was finally activated when a person representing the camp of darkness as an apostle of the demon king was born and the bnce between good and evil was bnced again. And the goal presented by the scenario was clear. [The Second Holy Magic War] Divided into absolute good and absolute evil, the war to destroy each other has begun again. Neutrality does not exist in this time of chaos and annihtion. In whose camp will you stand and establish a new order in the world? Kill the apostle who leads the opponent''s camp to decide the winner of this war. The death of Choco Paijoa in the Demon World camp. Heaven''s camp is the death of the Dark me Dragon. A scenario that won''t end unless one side wins after defeating the other. However, these two, who were directly endowed with power by the Archangel and the Demon King, had so much power that no one dared to handle it, so this scenario would never end easily. Hmm... this level doesnt have any meaning, right? It''s a temporary state that only applies until the end of the scenario, but both of them are at least above the level of transcendence. Minsu was looking at the newly updated scenario and examining the abilities of the two main characters. As he looked at the abilities and skills of those who hadpletely changed their abilities to the point where the word fraud came out of nowhere, he watched the situation with interest and muttered. At this rate, there''s no chance of a decision other than the two facing each other. He is watching with a face full of anticipation of what kind of interesting situation will be created. However, unlike Min-su, Jack clearly showed signs of how to prevent this situation. [Hey... Minsu. Is it okay if you just watch the game here?] Huh? why? Is something going on? [No... you''ve been concentrating only on seeing Arcadia for almost two months now. I heard that the rocketunchst time wasn''t long...] Ah. that? are you okay. Eugene takes care of everything that bothers me. If there is a situation that I need, I will contact you separately ore to you directly. [Really...?] Min-soo seemed to have no intention of taking a second nce while sipping hot chocte. As long as his eyes were on this game, even Jack couldn''t openly cheat, so he sighed deeply and spoke frankly. [Minsu, how about lowering the level of this a little bit?] Hmm? what? [No... It''s a littleplicated to exin in words... In the current situation, if either side wins or loses.....] I conceived and nned this scenario, and this Arcadia was the most Creator Jack who understands well. He knew the ending that this scenario would bring if it saw its end. So... because the Demon World and Heaven exhausted so much power, the one who loses this war will be annihted? [To be precise, one of the demon king and the archangel will disappear. At a normal level, it would have ended with only one side receiving a serious blow, but since this much probability has been poured out, the aftermath is enormous.] Tan and El risk everything in this war, walking up to their divinity and even prepared to be annihted. . Jack frowned as if he hadn''t expected their extreme behavior. [Anyway, if such a situation urs, one camp, good or evil, can copse to a level close to destruction. Then, in the long run, there could be big problems with the game operation, and President Lee Mi-yeon will be in a difficult situation, and Zenica will surely be arrogant...] Giving all sorts of rational reasons and grounds, I don''t know why I have to intervene in this scenario. Jack exining the justification. However, Minsu, who was listening to his story, smiled and shook his head resolutely. That doesnt work. [What...?] Anyway, no matter how huge the blow, the heavens and demons won''t copse. Because it is the absolute setting that supports this Arcadia. As long as you and I do not touch the existing system and settings, it will not disappear with just one scenario. Whether it''s the demon king or the archangel, aren''t they all characters that can be reced anyway? Minsu speaks with an evil smile as if he has noticed something. And he said it like nothing. Besides, even if the damage from this scenario is severe, it can''t be helped. If such concerns are arbitrarily adjusted, what will happen to the stories in the past and what will happen in the future? Minsu nodded and muttered to himself as if he couldn''t set a bad precedent. And he said with a smirk at Jack, who was looking at him with ridiculous eyes. Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. No matter how much you don''t want it, even if it''s a narrative and a scenario, you can''t change the naturallypleted narrative at will. cancer. No way. It was. Kim Min-soo, the world''s greatest madman, who has no interest in how this game goes crazy, just pursuing his own fun. He was watching all of this while enjoying the chaotic situation more than anyone else, and he seemed to be very much looking forward to the catastrophe that the ending of this story would bring. [Haa.....] That''s why Jack had no choice but to look at the current situation with a deep sigh. Praying earnestly for that damned Asura to turn his attention back to this world and turn his eyes to reality. * * * Six gates of hell opened on the continent of Arcadia. And the army of hell that continues to pour in through that ce. As the darkness encroached on the continent, its power gradually strengthened, and stronger demons began to appear, and the undead army of the ck me dragon of darkness, who had be the lord of death, was increasing in enormous numbers. Woo woo woo. The advent of a powerful darkness that has never been seen on the continent of Arcadia. The day came when the darkness that Tan had longed for so long came, but in the midst of that darkness, there was a radiance shining brightly alone. The Great Forest of Amil with the World Tree. Choco Paizoa, which has been dered a new holynd and does not permit any dark energy, rallies all users of the holy camp and enters defense mode. Demons and demons fell in front of the powerful torch emitted by Muspelheim he was holding. They had already tried to attack several times, but in the end, they were preparing for the final showdown in a situation where everyone had returned to nothing. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Kyaaaaaaaa! Starting with superrge monsters, the highest level of demons. The users who stood in the camp of evil and participated in this scenario. And even the army of death raised up by the Dark me Dragon. Hundreds... no, tens of millions of evil forces trying to attack at once whilepletely enveloping the vast forest of Amil. However, the camp of good against them was by no means an easy opponent. Gather all the spirits! Nature will bless you all! Fighting against evil with dignity! God is always on our side! Those who make the most of the geographical advantage of being a sacred ce full of sacred power, which is originally a mutual advantage, and a great forest with trees densely and endlessly. This time, as before, the two camps were full of confidence that they would block enough, and the two camps had to start the final battle. Good always wins! This world to the great dark lord! Wow. Tucan. Aaaaaaaaang. A decisive battle that began with the fate of this world at stake. The moment when the battle to determine the final victor of this war that has pulled out all the pir roots of the heavenly world and the demonic world begins. Somewhere far away, there was a person essing this game after a long time. What is this..... What kind of shit is going on while I close the game for a while... Tan and L, who always greeted me with a bloody fight, can''t see where they went, and all kinds of notes and messages fill the screen. no situation. However, since Jaeyoung had already roughly checked the current situation in Arcadia through Arpandia, he waved his hand and blew everything that filled the screen as if he was not at all embarrassed. They told me to fight while I wasnt there, so now youre really risking your soul, arent you? The Demon King and the Archangel are throwing away their duties as familiars and guardian angels and unknowingly risking the continent of Arcadia in a proxy war between the two worlds. At the spoiled (?) behavior of the two, Jaeyoung smiled subtly and muttered. Where do you go on a rampage like this without the owners permission...? Woo woo woo. I don''t know why, but it''s an enormous probability that has increased beyondparison. Jaeyoung murmured with his evil eyes shining more than ever, raising the probability that his miners had gathered to his heart''s content in the two months he had been away. Theyre all dead, you bastards. Chapter 431 Chapter 431 The King of the Crackers (1) A war between angels and demons recorded in mythology. Holy War. This battle, which is said to have destroyed the entire continent of Arcadia, was a terrible and terrible tragedy that took ce across the continent with nowhere to run or hide. [The reason why the Great War is considered the most terrible event in Arcadia is that the war took ce across the entire continent to the extent that the battlefield was indistinguishable. The descent of the demon king Satan and the archangel Michael. Not only did the divinity, the ruler of the two dimensions, directly appear, but all the gods of each system, including Deathbringer and Muspelheim, were used. In the end...] A story that is just an imagination and set-up created by Jack. However, the story of the Second Holy Demon War being created in Arcadia was not a single individual, but a real story written by countless adventurers. Live! Burn them all and turn them into ashes! God, your servant earnestly requests. Numerous elemental spirits were embodying their powers and blocking the iing demonic beasts. Squeezing divine power, he healed the dying wounded in earnest prayer and pushed away the evil energy. Ooooh! Come on, you children! I''ll show you what space defense is! ..... The warriors with their shields let out a shout of determination and showed off their bravery. The spirits of the trees standing next to it stood firm on the gigantic body without a word. government ordinance. Priests. Warrior. Wizard. thief. Archers..... In addition to that, thest line of deterrence and defense created by the gathering of countless people who chose the camp of good. Amil''s Great Grove. However, no matter how solid the fortress of the forest they created was, the opponent who attacked the wall was also a mighty and huge enemy that could never be ignored. Crrrrrr. don''t back down! The great dark lord will not forgive a cowardly fugitive! Keeeeeeeeeee! good! Dead people! Show them your grievance clearly! A variety of magical beasts. Demons with great power. And even an enormous number of death forces. The forces of evil advancing mixed with the vast number of adventurers who chose the camp of evil were overwhelmingly superior in numbers and their power was also terrifying. Keeeh! Kwaji Jiji. puddeudeuk. A sh between good and evil that collides with each other without making any concessions. And those who chose not to participate in this war were watching the current situation on TV and debating loudly which side would win. - Just looking at this, it looks like evil will win. -I know. No matter how you look at it, the difference is too great. -What are you talking about? I can''t even get into the forest entrance properly. -I knew that the divine type specialized in defense, but the space defense dog is really good. -Still, aren''t 80% of users from the evil faction? The imbnce is so severe that this seems to be unanswerable. -Really;; Moreover, as time goes on, the demons be stronger. People who do in-depth analysis, making various ims about who will win in this scenario. No one could say with certainty which of the two camps would win, but in general, many predicted that the evil camp would win. [34% of the continent of Arcadia has been eroded.] [The demonic energy has been further strengthened.] [New demons appear through the Hell Gate.] Every time the continent is encroached on, more and more forces of hell pop up. situationing out. Unlike the camp of good, which wages war with limited and limited resources, the camp of evil is infinitely supplied with troops. So, in this long war of attrition, predictions were circting that the line, which had reached its limit, would be defeated. But... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. The setting that sustains this world. [Good always win.] Choco Piezoa emits the divine power that contains the power of destruction more powerfully than anyone else. Predictions that Sun would be defeated by the existence of that one person holding the celestial deity, Muspelheim, with the Pope''s authority, were far off the mark. O Almighty God, protect us with your eternal shield. Choco Pie Joea chanting in the brilliant light that brightly illuminates the dark night. Under your protection, no darkness can encroach on our souls. Please guide us with lofty wisdom and holy glory. A huge scale divine magic circle drawn over the great forest of Amil. And when it waspleted, tremendous blessings began to pour into the Sun camp. [A chant of joy resounds.] [The wisdom of the lofty heavens guides you.] [The firm protection of the heavens blocks the enemy''s attack.] [The glory of the holy heavens encourages your fighting spirit.] [The benevolent heavenly mercy caresses your wounds.] . . . The highest level of divine authority that only the pope can activate. The brilliant light of the blessing that spreads through the newly created holynd, pouring out an enormous increase in stats and additional effects unmatched by other general blessings, was giving intense hope to all those who were falling down and exhausted. This crazy... 1000% increase in defense...? What is this..... Holy damage is automatically applied when attacking? 5x EXP...? What kind of free server event is this? Is experience a problem? The overall ability... I think this has increased by at least 5 times? Users whose power has risen in an instant through a tremendous pop-up. After realizing such an absurd miracle, they stared nkly at Choco Paijoa, which was still floating in a lofty figure in the sky. The Last Judgment. Woo woo woo. Choco Piezoa, who activated Muspelheim''s secret skill in his hand. It was just a matter of activating the skill built into the item, but the results were staggering. Whrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg Kyaaaaaaaa! A devastating storm of mes that burns everything. A storm of holy mes that spreads over a vastnd that is unbelievably powerful for a single person. And watching the tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts and Demons falling to ashes while screaming in pain without even resisting properly, everyone froze for a moment. -Wow..... Cancetion. The divine camp might win. -Does that sound like a real scam? How many did you wipe out by yourself? -What kind of skill is that? Did you roll the bnce all by yourself..... -If you look closely, this game is really a game that only a few people y. -This is K-inequality. In the midst of so many controversies, Choco Piejoa showed tremendous force and cut down all the demons and demons in front of her eyes. As he moved forward, sweeping away even the advanced demons with mighty power like autumn leaves, he showed tremendous confidence as if he had be invincible, but unlike that appearance, Choco Piejoa was more nervous than anyone was dozing off Damn it..... Where the hell are you hiding?'' [Time limit: 5 hours 23 minutes 29 seconds] Choco Paizoa became the Pope and was able to fully demonstrate the power of the heavens, albeit temporarily. However, it was not something that could be used indefinitely without any cost. The time limit that is decreasing every moment ording to the probability that the heavens had. In order to finish this scenario within that time, Choco Paijoa was roaming the middle of the army of hell in search of a target she must defeat. Crrrrrr. Cheeky human! How dare you get this far! Keeeeeeeeeee! A high-ranking demon who sees hime alone to his headquarters and bes enraged as if his pride has been hurt. And numerous monsters around him screamed and rushed at it, but Choco Paizoa just waved the celestial instrument in its hand as if it were annoyance. Dont make it too crowded and go away. Roaring. The demons copsed without being able to properly resist his attack. However, instead of being terrified by seeing them like that, Choco Paijoa let out a deep sigh and murmured when she saw the troops of the Demon Realm crawling up proudly again. Ha... that''s really annoying. Uuuuuuuuu. The target he needs to catch is the ck me Dragon of Darkness. However, finding that one person among the vast number of Demon King''s forces surrounding the entire vast Amil region was literally like finding a needle in the middle of the desert. All off! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak. The clock of the power that was allowed to him continued to run. It just repeats meaningless massacres. * * * I was expecting it... but it was already aplete mess? Great Forest Amyl where the World Tree lives. Jaeyoung, who was looking down on the battlefield from high above with the help of the top-notch wind spirit, soon carefully checked the battle situation. Seeing that those two guys couldnt appear in the foreground, they must be watching this from somewhere... I do nt know what the heck they were thinking, but the battlefield seemed to be heading for an extreme situation. However, as soon as he logged into the game, Jaeyoung did not choose any camp among the options that flew in. Both of them are shameless bastards who are stabbing the owner in the back, so why take sides because theyre pretty? He does not participate in the scenario itself and is ced in a neutral state. In other words, he was in a state where he could be attacked by both camps of good and evil, but Jaeyoung didn''t care at all. Let''s see... How can I make the most of it here and give both of them a true education... The map of the heavens. demon map. neither good nor evil. He who is not biased towards anything. Jaeyoung, who was just thinking about how to feed both camps, picked up the mask as if he had a good idea. First of all... should I make both of theme to me? Jae-young has no intention of appeasing the two elementary school students who he calls himself. That''s why he jumped into the middle of that battlefield while transforming into Choco Paijoa. Krurreuk...? What are you guys...? Is that...? The magic beast and demons look at Jae-young''s sudden appearance with puzzled faces. And the users who were mixed among them shouted in an urgent voice in amazement when they saw the nickname clearly embedded above Jaeyoung''s head. Its a super choco pie! what? Why are you here? This madness... all attacks... But they had no doubts in the midst of an urgent and tense situation. Why did Choco Paijoa, who is said to be ying a game in the north, appear in the southern part of the great forest on the opposite side? Why was he not carrying Muspelheim, the celestial deity that ignites divine mes? And... Come out, Ifrit, Lord of Burning Fever. Furrrrrrr. Come out, Minerva, the lord of the storm. Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrating Why is it that nature itself thatposes this world, and each of them is acting as two spirit kings at the same time, each of them like a god? This crazy..... What is this... The super-heated me giant suddenly appeared and the lofty Queen of Wind. The moment when everyone was frozen by the enormous spirit power and the power of nature that these two exude. Jaeyoung smiled and dered to everyone. Come on all. I havee to end this war. Chapter 432 Chapter 432 The King of the Crackers (2) Arcadia, a fantasy world where the vast, wild, and even magnificent Mother Nature lives and breathes. In this world, which advocates the world view of medieval fantasy, there were numerous environments, terrains, and various ecosystems that dare not count their scale. And beings who were born in this huge flow of nature and who are nature itself. Spirit. Not much information is known about them because they rarely appear in Arcadia, but their potential and power are so powerful that no one can ignore them. [The spirits that symbolize the nature of this world are not only diverse, but also overwhelming in number. Water, fire, wind and earth. As with the spirits based on these four basic elements, the power of the special spirits born from thebination of various natural attributes is particrly strong. For example, the spirit of lightning or the spirit of metal...] A huge dimension where not only the four basically known elemental spirits, but also countless other spirits live. Its scale was so enormous that the heavens and the demons could not darepare, and four transcendent divinities resided in one dimension. [Spirit King (`). It is known that he is the ruler and king of all spirits, but personally, I think this title disparages their status.] A transcendental dragon who is the suzerain of magic and confined to one attribute and naturally realizes the extreme. The head of the elves who are blessed with nature and the world tree. And even a legendary human hero who is born very rarely. There were many people who thought that because of the presence of the Spirit King, who appeared frequently and several times in the world of Arcadia, they naturally fell in rank, but in fact it was not. [They are the essence and nature itself that constitutes the nature in which we live. They are absolute and essential beings that support this world, and they are deities born with absolute divinity and divine authority that no being dares to touch. It is not just the level of a king that humans refer to, but an unequivocal God.] A being that existed from the moment of creation and will always be with us until the end of this world. Spirit King. And the power they possessed was so strong that it was safe to say that they had powers that were not inferior at allpared to Tan and El, the rulers of the heavens and demons. [Oh my gosh..... that''s ridiculous...] [To think that a mere human summoned the two of us at the same time. No matter how blessed the world tree is... can you handle this ? The spirit king of fire and the spirit king of windpletely dominate the area just by existing. The two looked at Jaeyoung as if they were really interested. [So.... why did you summon us like this?] [What is it? It must be to wipe out all these corrupt beings here.] Ifrit, the fire spirit king, answered in a gruff tone to the question of the wind spirit king Minerva. However, she turned her gray eyes around and looked around, then muttered to herself. [Hmm..... But is it right that we can intervene in this situation?] [In principle, it is impossible. I don''t know if it''s the lower spirits, but this isn''t a fight we can engage in.] The terrible and tragic narrative of this world that was already nned from the beginning. Holy War. The world tree and other deities were originally not given any role in this war stage where the whole world splits into good and evil, killing each other and seeing the end. Originally, a situation in which you should remainpletely neutral and not intervene. However, from the moment the World Tree joined hands with the Celestial World in the already twisted and distorted narrative, this story was bing an impromptu ypletely separated from the existing setting. [It seems that the World Tree has already teamed up with the Celestial World... Then, will we automatically join the Celestial side as well?] [Heung, which side the gatekeeper is on, what does that have to do with us?] [ That''s true, but .....] The two of them were discussing which side they should stand on. But soon, Minerva glides gracefully and asks Jaeyoung. [So... Contractor, what do you want?] Minerva asks, like a genie from amp that seems to grant any wish. Jaeyoung replied with an evil smile at her. Please wipe out both the camps of the Heavens and the Demons. [What...?] [What do you mean by that...?] A request that makes even the spirit kings perplexed. However, as if it was clear what he wanted, Jaeyoung pointed his fingers at the yers of the divine camp who were staring at him and the magical beasts flooding in from around him. Personally, I dont like either of them. Ah, please handle only adventurers in the divine camp. There are a lot of elves I am personally close with, so it''s a bit like getting involved with them. It''s a bit tricky, but please pay attention. The evil side doesn''t matter, so chew, bite, taste, and enjoy it as you like. [.....] [....?] Ah, if possible, would you burn less than half of Great Forest as if it were a mistake? I dont know where youre trying to fuck a guy by doing something like this without getting permission from behind my back, but this time it looks like you need a lesson. Requests like crazy one by one. Even the spirit kings stared nkly at Jaeyoung with expressions like Is this right...?'' and asked seriously. [Now... are you saying to attack both forces?] [To burn the area of the World Tree...? Didn''t you receive the protection of the World Tree?] The spirit kings seemed to have be rare viins plotting to secretly strike the back of the head on the same side. However, Jaeyoung gave them a strangely cold smile and muttered an iprehensible story. I mean. I''ve seen a chicken and a baby bat fight so many times that they get nosebleeds. Still, I didn''t say anything. It''s possible for the two of you to settle your grudge while fighting quietly in a corner, right? It was because it was too frequent, but... It is true that Tan and Els souls were bet on for years, but Jae-young, who has seen it hundreds of thousands of times, is not joking. Afterwards, it became boring enough to not even pay attention, so there was not much inspiration, but these two, who are taking a new match that ispletely different from the previous one while he was away, crossed the line no matter how you look at it. By the way... now they call on all their powers and entice even the dormant saplings to have a rare battle over the entire continent like this? No matter how much I nag and talk nicely with words to fight like that, what should I do if they dont listen? [What the hell are you talking about...] The two spirit kings seem to have goosebumps at Jae-young''s story, which feels almost mad. However, Jaeyoung interrupted the fire spirit king and spoke coldly. You have to listen. Even though they are my cute pets, if they don''t listen to their owners like dogs, it is necessary to discipline them severely. [....?] [....?] A mysterious summoner who is the lord of the celestial world and the demon realm, and calls the deity representing one world a pet. However, after reading the sincerity felt on his face, the two looked confused, but soon sighed and nodded. [all right. I don''t know why... I''ll do whatever you want.] [But it''s impossible to attack Amil''s great forest. It''s a strictly forbidden act that even we can''t directly harm the World Tree.] The fire spirit king said he couldn''t grant the insane request to burn Amil''s Great Forest. However, Jaeyoung asked back as if he couldn''t back down at his words. Why not? The fire spirit king replied to Jaeyoung, who asked with an expression like a child who really did not know why it was wrong. [Your request is tantamount to telling us to attack ourselves. Don''t you know how contradictory and absurd it is that nature destroys nature?] An act that is limited by an absolute mission. To the summoner who demanded an absurd situation that made no sense at all, Ifrit firmly affirmed. [It is impossible to lend our strength to that request no matter what the reason is.] But..... Jaeyoung said with a fishy smile at those words. Is it really so? Woo woo woo. A gray aura radiated from his body. probability. Due to the absurd power that twists and twists all causes and effects in the world to achieve what you want, the bondage of the mission that had been binding these two spirit kings was being released. [How can this be...] [This is...?] And the two spirit kings, who were clearly feeling the bizarre phenomenon, groaned as they looked at Jaeyoung with shocked faces. Jae-young made the impossible possible by exhausting even the probability. And he said it like he wasn''t joking. Go and dance to your hearts content. Lets go crazy and run amok today. In this way, the existing evaluations and records of the Spirit King in Arcadia began to be writtenpletely overturned. Throwing off all restraints and restrictions, freely and freely releasing one''s own power and authority... Being overwhelmed by the overwhelming, transcendent, and catastrophic enormous power of the two deities. * * * Khehehe. this is it This is it. Satan, the demon lord of chaos. He couldn''t reveal or intervene directly because all the conditions for his descent into this world had not yet been met, but he smirked as he followed the ck me Dragon of Darkness, who had poured all the possibilities of the demon world he had. Yeah... I''m dragging the time like this and slowly drying it to death. Until the moment the probability of that damn chicken reaches its limits. L went beyond simply granting power and descended to Muspelheim, a heavenly deity. As long as that absolute miracle existed, Tan knew that he could never win this war. However, he thinks that the endless probability will eventually reach the bottom, so he is persistentlyunching an all-out offensive as much as possible and inducing a waste of energy. And as he closely observed the increasingly impatient appearance of the celestial representative, Tan rejoiced with a more sinister and sinisterugh than ever. ats! it''s my win! I won against that chicken cub! A war with heaven that has never been won. However, with the joy of winning a huge victory this time, Tan was filled with dreams, imagining the future of Arcadia that would fall into the hands of the Demon World. Lets see... Once the demonization is progressing, first of all, we will have to fix the humans bad personality first, right? They told me to fight with fists and weapons rather than fighting with my mouth in a savage and trivial manner... All souls belong to the demon realm ... dreamy shot. However, he took out a ck scroll and scribbled something for a while. Woo woo woo. hmm....? A look of bewilderment appeared on his face at the appearance of a mighty force he felt in the distance. Koo Goo Goo Goo. Wait... what is that...? A huge amount of spirit power that suddenly rises. Tan, who instinctively sensed the manifestation of the enormous power possessing transcendental divinity that could not be imitated by lower spirits, looked at the south with a nk face. and that moment. A huge hurricane of mes rising over the area. Huge hurricanes that seem to pass over dozens of kilometers easily. However, the hurricane was obviously in apletely different form from normal natural phenomena. Roaring. A whirlwind that burns with ferocious force. Tan was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a new variable because he could clearly feel the heat emanating from that storm of mes in the distance, but soon the energy he felt from far away made his face harden for an instant. The master...? Chapter 433 Chapter 433: The King of Kengpan (3) A sanctuary located right in the center of the huge continent of Arcadia and home to the World Tree. Amil''s Great Grove. Apletely unexpected and uninvited guest broke into the war that was taking ce here, betting everything between heaven and hell. [Go back to where you were, people who do not belong to thisnd.] [Don''t stop me. Because the fury of the wind will be directed at you.] Rurrrrr. Koo Goo Goo Pce. A storm of intense me that is crude and rough, but has the power of pure nature to its fullest. In that storm, the monsters and demons, who boasted of great power, instantly turned to ashes, and were torn to pieces beyond recognition by the des of the wind blowing from all directions. Huh ..... it''s ridiculous ..... What the hell .... Why are the spirit kings involved in this war ....? It is truly a natural disaster and a power close to disaster. In a situation where they were struggling just by attacking the holy forces defending the Amil area, the high-ranking demons with intelligence were shocked to see the sudden appearance of the Spirit King. This kind of nonsense... How... how can you achieve this level of force in Arcadia... Advanced demons who have crossed the Hell Gate and are able to exert 100% of their body''s power. Even though they fired all kinds of attacks through the demonic energy emitted with full power, they could not get a single scratch. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu800. The fire spirit king Ifrit. While he wiped out the other demon beasts, Ferdos, a high-ranking demon, struck a fatal blow. However, he shouted in amazement at the reality that the attack he poured all his strength into using his authority was blocked in the air and did not even allow him to approach his body. how....! how....! Summoned beings... dare! Summon. This method, which is the only way for the beings of another dimension that do not exist in this Arcadia, including the heavens and the demon world, to cross over to this Arcadia and exert their power, has clear limits. A structure in which the expression of that power is absolutely limited ording to the summoner''s capacity because it was able to materialize its existence in this world through the power of the summoner as a kind of contract. That''s why, originally, it was impossible for even the spirit king to defeat this hellish army, which could demonstrate 100% of its body''s power. Before wiping them out, the summoner''s mana and elemental power will run out. But... [That''s foolish. And you''re arrogant.] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gung. Ifrit, as if she doesn''t care about that at all, unleashes her power to her heart''s content. He questioned Ferdos in a tone full of ridicule. [Did you think you could deal with a divinity that represents one realm with only one soldier from the Demon Realm ? At the same time, a huge explosion of me exploded around him. Everyone who was looking at the tremendous destructive power that vaporized everything around them in an instant was unable to do anything. He had no choice but to bow his head and prostrate himself in front of the overwhelming and absolute divine position. In the move of a free god whopletely freed himself from all the chains that had restrained him, albeit temporarily. * * * The runaway spirit kings started in the southern region of Amil. The people who were watching the real-time streaming from tens of thousands of broadcasts could not close their mouths at the overwhelming power of the two spirits. - Wow..... Is that the spirit king...? - Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, really. It''s a high-level demon and everything is being swept away. -Starting today, I will change my job to a spirit sergeant again. - Wow..... It''s a real spirit. I thought they were the ones who always summoned a few low-level spirits and fired water guns and fireworks, but did they end up like that? - Will the day finallye when the spirits see the light of day..... After the existence of the world tree and the elves appeared, the newly emerged job spirits. However, the public evaluation of this job as a Spiritualist was not very good. -I can''t do it because it''s really dirty to please the young spirits. -Really;; It''s too damn good to increase the affinity with spirits. Even if you put it on hard, if it goes out a little, it goes straight to hell. -Rather than that, it''s okay to split sides and fight with other elemental spirits. If you put someone with the same affinity, they will fight and the affinity will decrease. -The damage is ambiguous, but the utility isn''t very good either. Just the job itself is ambiguous. directbat or utility. Elementalists who are only at an ambiguous level anywhere. In addition, there were extremely difficult conditions that required constant attention to the level of affinity with the spirits, so there were not many people who walked the path of spiritists than expected. Since they are spirits whose information is not yet known, the tremendous power of the spirit kings who have appeared at this moment shocked and fascinated countless adventurers. -Rather than that... What the hell is that Choco Piezoa? -I know? Why are all the spirits making a fuss all of a sudden in the south? -? what? Why is he over there? -Choco Paijoa is diligently cutting all the demons with the Holy Sword in the North right now? -??? What do you mean? - It''s real. Come watch the Destroyer''s Everyday Life channel now. A live broadcast of Choco Piejoa being aired in Destroyer''s daily life. There, people couldn''t hide their confusion as they saw him fighting fiercely with the demons with Muspelheim and the Southern Choco Piezoa broadcasting through numerous users at the same time. -Choco Pie Joa... two...? - What''s the situation now? -what....? Is it buggy? Choco Paizoa, who became the pope and represents the divine camp, is blocking the forces of hell in the vanguard, and Choco Paizoa, who is acting as the Spirit King who indiscriminately destroys and wipes out everything around him. When two people with identical faces appeared with the same nickname, everyone was taken aback. - Do you have any skills or something like that? - Could it be twins? Identical or whatever... something like that. -wait for a sec. Then, who is the Choco Piezoa we''ve seen so far? - Someone please exin. what! this! -I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! The chat windows became a mess as they went back and forth between the two people''s broadcasts, pouring out all sorts of doubts and questions. However, whether or not he knew about the situation, Jaeyoung was just walking leisurely and chatting with the lower spirits. Hmm... Even the spirits are more cute than I thought. The spirits of the four major attributes who fly around and show off all sorts of charms. Just like a dog wagging its tail at its owner after a long absence, Jae-young mumbles with a warm smile as he looks at those who express his joy with his body. However, unlike his rxed appearance, the situation around him was a real mess. Ouch! That guy is a summoner. Kill! All I have to do is kill that human! He is the human who summoned the Spirit King! Be sure to get rid of it! Demons and users rushed to attack the summoner first on behalf of an opponent who could not handle it at all. But they had no idea. Cadiel, the Knight of Spiritual Suffering and Pilgrimage. The fact that the person they are trying to deal with is more than the spirit king, but never less than him. Woo woo woo. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh Kuh... Kwaaaaaaagh! Poetry divine power...? What the hell is this...? No, how the hell does a Elemental Witch use divine power? Jaeyoung is not at the level of a low-ss pdin, but radiates powerful divine power that is almost like an apostle. And as they looked at the highest level spirits of the four attributes that appeared around him, the expressions of the demons and users were horribly distorted. Holy Knight and Elemental Sorcerer. The narrative of this Holy Demon War began to twist again, centering around the bizarre hybrid (?) of the two as if they had be jjambbong. Reversing the same ending as the fate that was already decided in apletely unpredictable direction. * * * Ha..... Damn it..... Tan confirms that Jaeyoung has returned to Arcadia again. He had a hunch as he watched the appearance of the suddenly appearing spirit kings attacking everyone indiscriminately without identifying their friends. You mean to break the te here and now? no way? Jaeyoung''s will to not acknowledge this narrative that he and L are making. Koo Goo Goo Goo. Aaaaaaaaang. The power of the Spirit Kings is so powerful that the aftermath can be clearly felt even in a situation where there is a considerable distance. Watching the enormous force being swept away by their chaos, Tan felt as if Jaeyoung was whispering in his ear with his signature evil smile. Would you like to try again with me? really?'' Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Either the heavens or the demons. The situation is in a confrontation with no clear victory anywhere. In this situation, the anxiety that if the owner side with the damn chicken is the end of the devil world continues to surge, Tan, after struggling and struggling, finally can''t stand it and bursts into irritation, pping his little wings like a shot. flew away ah. damn! It really makes my head hurt. He followed the ck me Dragon of Darkness closely and monitored the war situation. However, he threw everything away and flew to the south where everything was being destroyed, and the first sight he encountered was the fire and wind spirit king radiating tremendous divinity and a wastnd where the entire area waspletely devastated. This crazy..... I really didn''t cover the front and back and turned everything over..... The Great Forest, which should have been filled with trees so dense that you can''t see an inch in front of you. However, as he looked down at Jaeyoung, who was standing in the round, huge vacant lot that had turned into a ck wastnd without leaving a trace, Tan was convinced. Now he is not on the side of the World Tree, let alone in the Heavens or the Demon World. That is,plete neutrality itself. Huh..... But it seems the chicken hasn''t appeared yet. Tan, who was worried that the beggar chicken might not be the first to act like he had thought. However, seeing that L was nowhere to be seen around him, Tan let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly flew towards the owner. master! master! uh. Are you here? He flew away waving his hand with the most wee expression, but he weed him with a sad face as if he had seen it before. Such a lukewarm response made Tan feel uneasy about something, but he tried to talk to him calmly and brazenly. Why the hell haven''t you seen me for a while? Do you know how anxiously I have been waiting? I dont think you waited too long, did you? Seeing that he was doing such a big thing behind the scenes without me knowing. Oh, that''s right, Master. I''ll exin everything. As for how this happened... Tan, with a slightly sullen expression at the thorny words, tries to continue the story. But Jaeyoung shook his hand as if he didn''t want to hear it. Okay, you go there too, kneel and raise your hand. Yes....? Go over there next to your best friend, raise your hand and reflect on what you did wrong. At that moment, Tan saw a strange sight he had never seen before. ..... I dont know when he came, but the figure of Michael, his nemesis, kneeling with both hands raised. What are you doing? Hurry up and raise your hand next to me? No matter how the owner is, this is a bit... Why. no? ..... Jaeyoung asked with a serious face as if he was not kidding. There is Gao of the Demon King. Originally, he would not have done it even if it meant disappearing, but seeing how El, who was equal to him, was obediently punishing him, and knowing that the target who made him do it was the most evil and vicious being in the world, Tan quietly calmed himself without realizing it. go and raise your hand ..... ..... Two deities who have transcendent divinity representing the demon world and the celestial world. But at this moment. The two of them were on their knees and with their hands raised as they were being punished. For the reason that he caused a war of the century to divide the continent without the owner''s knowledge. Chapter 434 Chapter 434 The King of Knockpan (4) I mean. I didn''t even expect you two to get along. Tan and L sitting on their knees and raising their hands. The appearance of a baby imp and a guardian angel standing out one by one was so dainty that you would naturally feel cute just by looking at them. But Jaeyoung didn''t blink an eye and just looked down at the two of them with a cold face. Also, while the two of you were fighting to get your nosebleeds, you said lets die and let me live, and I thought you would be waiting quietly... You caused a major ident like this and stabbed me in the back? The two people who did not do much damage to anyone and only fought fiercely against each other. That''s why he didn''t worry about it, so Jae-young muttered as if he was dumbfounded as he watched the world of Arcadia unfold while he was away. What the hell... did you think you were doing this nonsense? Its all because of that bastard. As if waiting for Jaeyoung''s question, L points to Tan with one hand and shifts the me. Then Tan got angry and raised his voice and asked. hey! Why is this because of me? You opened the Hell Gate by ordering the guys below you from behind. None of this would have happened if you guys hadn''t invaded Arcadia in the first ce. At L''sment about the opening of the Hell Gate, the starting point and main cause of this fierce conflict, Tan put on a slightly sullen expression, but soon protested with a bold face. Dont sell drugs, you damn chicken. No matter what anyone says, it was the order of the day in Arcadia that would happen naturally after the fall of Eden and the death of the Pope. I bet you don''t know that there are things I can and shouldn''t stop, right? The bnce between good and evil, which was delicately bnced and maintained a precarious equilibrium. However, the fall of Eden and the death of the popepletely tipped the bnce. At the same time as the downfall of goodness, the era of eviles too naturally. This scenario, which is different from the first signal of the beginning of an era of evil and darkness, was a fate and natural order that Tan and L could never go against or deny. master! Is it all because of that damn chicken? Even though the power is also broken and there is nothing that can be done, instead of admitting defeat, this way to see the real end... Oh, it''s noisy. If you look at the bottom line, both of you just didn''t want to lose, so you escted the situation tremendously. Jae-young frowns while listening to Tan''s excuses in silence. And he started beating the two of them fairly evenly without being biased towards either side. L To be honest, havent the Celestials done a lot in the continent of Arcadia until now? At this point, you should know how to lose moderately and back down. Why are you rushing to fuck Tan until you see the end of your nose? That... if that happens... And Choco Paizoa, who is designated as the apostle of the World Tree, will be given the title of Pope? For giving me your arms too? This seems too excessive even to me, but how the hell are you going to fix it? Is there such a thing as too much probability in Heaven? ..... There is no precedent for finding two transcendent divinities in one human being. She was speechless at Jaeyoung''s words because it was El who had literally exhausted most of the possibilities Heaven had in order to create this miracle that went beyond the unconventional and approached the level of revolution. And so are you, Tan. Did you have tomit such a big situation without me? uh? Looking at the situation and listening to the story here and there, it seems that you did not coordinate properly, but actively abetted and provoked this situation? I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding about that, owner... And... what? death lord? You whined about the possibility of meeting, but you think you have a lot of room in your pocket? Are you even making and nurturing an apostle without me knowing in this way? Now that Heaven is a little weaker, the situation has be more manageable... Is this it? No... that''s not it... Choco Pie Joea and the ck me Dragon of Darkness. Two users who have been given the absurd position of the pope and the lord of death, and have the divinity of the heavens and the demon realm. Although it is an event-type event thatsts for a limited time, because of these two unusually strong wars and conflicts, they have intensified beyondparison. So what are you going to do now? ..... ..... Tan and L are speechless when asked what they are going to do next. Looking at the two of them looking at each other with their hands raised, Jaeyoung noticed something and asked with her eyes narrowed. what? Are you sure you want to go on like this? Master... thats what I mean... Unfortunately... no one can back down from this situation. what....? What are you talking about? L sighs deeply at Jae-young''s questioning and honestly confesses the truth. Jaeyoung, who listened silently to her words, soon put on a look that was absurd. So... the one who lost this war will take responsibility for all of this and perish in the aftermath of the causal storm...? yes. I dont understand... arent you guys immortals? Jae-young looks confused when he hears that existence itself will disappear. However, Tan muttered calmly to him, as if it wasn''t such a strange thing. The divinity and prestige we possess are immortal. However, the existence of me and that young chicken is not strictly speaking forever. In the eternal struggle, only the strong survive. There, Tan, who had the title of king, said with a face as if he was recalling his past. Like the former demon king whom I tore to death in the past, the extinction of the past king means the birth of a new king. Even if I perish, someone else will seed to my divinity and prestige as the ruler of the demon realm in my ce. In the name of Satan. What is that... Ah, but dont worry. Because along with all powers, memories are also passed down. Aren''t we just remembering everything from the moment of creation? If I go after it, maybe that bastard who will be carrying me will be the next demon king. While teasing his mouth with a nonchnt face, he is beaten by Jae-young and grabs his head with both hands while screaming. And he couldn''t hide his embarrassment as he looked at Jaeyoung, who was smiling coldly. Who do you like? Yes....? What are you talking about because it disappears without the permission of the owner? Did you forget that the contract you made with me is still valid? Tan, who doesn''t know what to say to Jae-young, who seems genuinely upset, just rolls his eyes. And looking straight into his eyes, Jaeyoung said firmly. You are my property until the contract with me is broken. Don''t be mistaken. Where are you trying to break the contract and run away without permission? ...? Tan, the absolute ruler and ruler of the demon realm. However, he looked at Jaeyoung, who treated him like an object with a sincere face, and had a confused expression on how to react, but smiled as he looked at the situation that followed. Cong. Wow! L who raised his hand quietly by his side and suddenly got a honey chestnut stuck in his head. Seeing the young chicken grabbing the short head with both hands and frowning like himself, Tan instinctively felt the joy welling up in his heart. That''s the same for you, El. Where can you do whatever you want without a contractor that seriously harms the contract? Can I properly show you how terrifying it is to break an unauthorized contract? ..... Tan and L remain silent, rubbing their heads without saying anything in apletely different, serious look from their previous reactions. Looking at the two, Jaeyoung sighed and began to think about something. Huh... I cant live because of these two damn troublemakers. As if he had made up his mind on something, Jae-young began to walk somewhere. Tan and El looked at him as he walked away while grumbling to themselves over and over again. Master, what is it? What are you going to do? Are you sure you want to intervene in this war? The war between good and evil. In this extreme confrontation that does not allow any neutrality, the faces of the archangel and the devil, who are looking at the huge variable named Jae-young, who are trying to start moving without belonging to either side, are stained with tension and spleen more than ever. You have to intervene. Didn''t you hear what I said earlier? Both of you are extinct and nabal without my permission, and don''t even dream of escaping from my grasp. While saying that he had absolutely no intention of letting go, Jaeyoung looked at the failure conditions of this scenario that appeared in front of him. - Seonyeong: The death of Choco Paijoa. -Evil faction: the death of the ck me dragon of darkness. The two main characters of the scenario, as well as the protagonists of the war that El and Tan brought together the probabilities of the heavens and the demons. After confirming that the death of these two is the main condition that determines the victory of one camp, Jae-young smiles evilly and begins to release the probability that overflows like crazy because he is not rich. Woo woo woo. Koo Goo Goo Goo. An intense causal storm that shakes this world. El, feeling with his whole body that the flow of this huge narrative that was rampaging madly raging more and more strongly, froze involuntarily and looked at him. No matter how morally strong Pope Choco Paizoa is, can he defeat the Demon King holding the Deathbringer? Jaeyoung muttered while holding the Deathbringer, a pitch-ck sword in one hand. Seeing the huge devil''s wings surrounded by a film rising behind him, and seeing his continued words, El realized. And... can the ck me dragon of darkness defeat the archangel holding the god who holds the divinity of destruction? Woo woo woo. To El himself... and the enormous amount of probability supplied to the heavens. Realizing what his contractor, Dex, wanted through that probability, El put on a dazed expression for a moment, then closed his eyes with a small smile as if it was absurd and futile. Really... Dex is... a unique human being. good and evil. Dex doesn''t belong to either side and freelymits all sorts of atrocities as he pleases. Looking at him who is fairer than anyone else,mits more insane acts, is more vicious than anyone else, and saves the world more heroically than anyone else, L epts the variables of this ridiculous narrative. Everything ording to the will of the contractor. Woo woo woo. Aaaaaaaaang. A huge storm of holy power and magic that no one could handle. The waves of transcendental power that resonated throughout the continent of Arcadia were so huge that the fierce battle of the Holy Demon War stopped for a moment. What is this...? I cant believe it... I cant believe it... All of those who turned their heads toward the source of power froze in astonishment as one. It has wings with pure white feathers and wings surrounded by a rough and bizarre film. A being that floats in the air holding a fish. Looking at that contradictory existence, which was absolutely impossible, the users could clearly see the name shining above it. [Holy Demon King (}ħ) Dex] Jaeyoung took off the mask of the deceiver and proudly appeared on the stage of this Holy Demon War to fulfill the role of a destroyer whopletely breaks this scenario with his own image. In the form of a hybrid that no one has ever heard of or seen. Chapter 435 Chapter 425 Pandemonium (6) After the Invasion of Pandemonium begins. The users divided into good and evil camps began to fight each other fiercely, but the appearance was clearly different from the witch hunts of the past. Destroy everything! Aaaaaaaaa! The divine camp, which boasted an overwhelming numerical superiority and killed the users of the dark camp to its heart''s content. However, because the power had already shrunk iparably to the previous one, most neutral users chose the evil camp, and the charter waspletely reversed. Hahaha... Contributions pile up, pile up. The time for revenge has finallye! Where have all the priests gone? Numerous users carrying hideous weapons everywhere in search of prey. There were all sorts of nasty and bizarre-looking monsters running around, so most of the users with divine-type jobs were putting their heads down and hiding as much as possible. -and. these crazy bastards As soon as I logged in, they rushed at me and killed me. -What are you doing in this situation? If you are a priest or a pdin, stop ying for a while. - The charter ispletely unfavorable. Since the rewards are so good, even regr users are all attached to the Demon World side, so it''s probably impossible to win. -DD..... But what happens if this is pushed like this? Are the Dark Ages suddenlying? Divine-type users who could not bear to ess the game due to the risk of death and watched the real-time situation through Arfandia. However, while watching countless kingdoms and cities being pushed from all directions, they were debating over and over how absurd the current situation was. -Isn''t this too much of a loss of bnce? How to wake up in this situation? -Really;; Even demons are appearing over there, shouldn''t angels also appear? - Even the Pope has been behind for a long time. What do you want? Haha - So, if the demon king descends and eats it all up, game over? end? reset? -Then we should immediately storm into thepany and burn it all down. -Dongmangem level haha Those who do not ess the game and just y around with the keyboard as if they are watching other people''s business. However, unlike him, the camp of evil entered this war more fervently than anyone else, not sparing their lives, and burned their zeal. Everyone turn back! I said I was going to beat all the Priest bastards! Ill cut them all up and throw them away! During the witch hunt in the past, dark-type users who had suffered all sorts of persecution and oppression without any guilt. As a beginner, they suffered from being killed for no reason as soon as they chose their job, so they were the ones who held on to all sorts of miasma and resisted to the end in spite of evil at the moment of weakness when they couldnt even attack properly. They were enjoying this moment of revenge more than anyone else. good! Legion of Death! Show our fury to the enemy ahead! The Dark me Dragon, the conductor of death. Having be stronger than ever before, he led tens of thousands of undead legions alone and annihted all enemies blocking him with a wave of force at the forefront of this war. Geuuuuuu..... Kieueee! Master hasmanded you to take your supply and demand freely. It smells like the ugly smell of the living. Starting from basic undead such as zombies and skeletons, high-level undead such as Durahan Death Knight, Lich Banshee, and even superrge undead such as zombie drakes in Abomination, a huge power that is literally the total set of all undead. Those who faced his troops as enemies, who clearly showed the meaning of the one-man corps, felt extreme fear and lost their fighting spirit and ran away. - Wow..... How can you summon that much? - It''s impossible to have only good items. Maybe it''s because it''s a hidden ss? - It''s also incredibly efficient than that. -Skeleton Knight Archer Mage..... I''ve summoned all of them. -The ghouls are in a strange state too, right? insanely fast -Are there wyvern zombies? Death Knight rides and flies? -These crazy..... People who were shocked to witness the sight ofpletely devouring a facility that looked like a military fortress by themselves. It was driving so fast and taking over the entire continent quickly and in all directions, but Tan looking at it was just nervous. hey! Yours! What the hell are you doing here! Sanctuary of the World Tree located in the center of the Arcadia continent. Tan, who appeared at the ce where she was living, looked at El and the World Tree, who were talking amicably there, with ferocious eyes and questioned them. What are you doing toe in without a word and give a fuck? Won''t you go away? The world tree growled fiercely with a look of sympathy at Tan''s appearance. However, as if he didn''t care about her threat, Tan shouted with a face full of evil. Why is that damn chicken here! What are you two trying to do behind the scenes without me knowing? uh? A chance toe from behind. Until now, the opportunity to feed the taffy had finally arrived, as if to show it properly, but when another important variable emerged from this situation, Tan did not back down and argued with resolute momentum, as if he could never tolerate it. However, the World Tree looks at his words as if he is dumbfounded. And she shook her head as if she hadn''t even thought about it. What are you trying to do? Did you think I would just stand by and watch you try to eat the entire continent? It was a choice I had to make in order to protect my mission, so stop talking nonsense and get out of here. The World Tree turned around like a knife as if there was no room for negotiation. But Tan shouted as if he was unfair. But this is not it! This is a fight between me and that fucking chicken! And am I trying to destroy this Arcadia? You''re just going to dye it a little darker! This is an act that deviated from your mission! battle between good and evil. In the story of the Holy Demon War, which was decided from the beginning, the World Tree was not originally the main character. She has to be an observer, serving only as a minimum breakwater to prevent theplete destruction of all living things. However, at this moment, seeing that he distorted even his own mission and chose to actively intervene, Tan warned him. Are you confident enough to handle the aftermath of this? The price he had to pay instead of twisting the mission and exerting his power in the direction he wanted. probability. Tan asked if it was okay, knowing that the moment she intervened in the fight, a huge amount of probability would be exhausted. Then, the World Tree burst into annoyance and shouted. Oh shut up! Do you think you like me and help that psycho bitch right now? what....? To be honest... I know! I know! Those chickens and you are just as irritating as cockroaches that I want you to get out of my realm for good. The World Tree honestly wants to take advantage of this opportunity topletely oust the two powers from the continent of Arcadia. But she couldn''t. Rather, he had to hold the hand of that abominable chicken guy who shamelessly reached out to himself and asked for help. But... not now. Even in preparation for the great disaster toe... Neither you, nor that chicken, nor anyone else should cross Arcadia. what....? What bullshit is that? An omnipotent but not omnipotent fallen ruler of the underworld. Demon King Satan. Unaware of the great disaster toe in the future, he asked back with a face that he did not understand the words of the world tree, but instead of her trembling green eyes and momentarily terrified expression, El stood in front of Tan and said, Right now, take all of your henchmen and go back to the Pandemonium. Then our alliance will end. A strange alliance of chicken and seedlings. Seeing this unprecedented and unprecedented rtionship, Tan looked at the two with an indescribable expression, but soon shouted that it could never happen. Not until I get dirt in my eyes! What an opportunity you got! Do you think you bastard who has nothing like an apostle can beat me no matter how hard he tries? Apostle. An agent who acts on behalf of the gods and expresses their power. The heavenly powers, which hadpletely lost Pope Amen and the most powerful apostles, could never defeat the mighty forces of darkness. In the past, Tan had raised an Argamer''s essence by directly imnting it into his heart. ck me Dragon of Darkness. It wasn''t really his apostle, but the ck me Dragon of Darkness, which had grown so strong after that, and the power of the Maroon Kingdom, which had gathered around him, were not at a level that the Holy Kingdom could win. that''s right. You can''t win. what....? It was a sacrifice I had to make in order to prevent the resurrection of the underworld, but I''m sure... and the glory of the heavens has weakened beyondpare to the past. But there is no one who seems like a hero who can ovee this situation and save the light. It was a battle that could never be won with the senile kings who had just be engulfed in peace and the saints who were still too young. No hero could be found anywhere else who had the firm faith to fight the evil and darkness that came valiantly in this war. So... I''m going to make a choice that I can''t help. What the hell are you talking about...? Tan couldn''t understand L''s story as if he was talking to himself. El asked him again. Of course you dont have any intention of giving up right now, right? ...are you crazy? You are giving up. okay. I''m an idiot for putting my hopes on a fucking bat like you. L smiled wryly as if he hadn''t expected much and put on a sad expression. And soon, an intense divinity began to surround the World Tree. Woo woo woo. What is this... The pure white divine power that shines softly as it merges with the mighty green vitality emitted by the world tree. Looking at her, who seems to be exerting all the power allowed to him by drawing out the power of the heavenly world, which is now too weak, Tan nkly opens his mouth. Imand you as a holy Aspect of Glory and Guardian of the Heavens. As the ruler of the celestial world and themander of all angels, she plucked out all the pirs of the celestial world and exhausted all possibilities to create her own apostle. Apostle of life serving the mother of all things, you are the holy and brilliant representative of the heavens, and you will hold both the position and position. The heavens will bless the path you are walking and will always be by your side. An apostle who represents the will of the World Tree. Nature''s Will Choco Piezoa. Michael gave another title to him who was appointed as the half (?) half of the other (?) and carried out the mission following the World Tree. title of Pope. Woo woo woo. The moment when a mighty divinity shines down somewhere in the sky. Tan realized what Michael was doing. This... This... chicken baby..... is he really crazy..... Tan was shocked by the insane barbarism of that damn chicken and young seedling who were trying to stop him even like this. An unprecedented and unprecedented situation in which one human being monopolizes the power of two transcendent divine beings. But that wasn''t the end. My new apostle, I bring down upon you the sword of holy fire that burns fiercely. Raise that sword and punish the evil that pollutes this world. A heavenly instrument and Michael''s weapon. Muspelheim. Tan couldn''t keep his mouth shut as he watched from afar as the god, which had never appeared before the end of the Great War, descended from the sky. really.... Do you want to see the end? Michael''s behavior of going all-in as if he was living only today. Seeing that, Tan gritted her teeth, but she didn''t back down. If you''re scared, you''ll die. Chapter 436 Chapter 436 The King of the Game (6) Humanity''s first virtual reality game, Arcadia. However, this virtual world was no different from a virtual world that was too perfect to be called a game. And Jack, the creator and creator of this world. He muttered as he looked at what was happening in his world with an expression more perplexed and confused than ever. [Really... Does this make sense?] The divinity of the archangel representing the heavens. The divinity of the demon king that symbolizes the demon realm. The existence of Jae-young, who simultaneously expressed and fused the powers of those who represent the good and evil camps, was nothing short of a contradiction and error that directly refuted thews of this world he had created. [warning. A fatal error has urred.] [An immediate action by the manager is required.] That''s why Ellis demanded a quick response to his actions. Although she has an outstanding artificial intelligence that actively finds the best solution for most minor problems and responds on her own, this situation is far beyond her authority. The real thing is going to be fun. And the existence that is watching this situation more interestingly than anyone else. Kim Min Soo. From the moment the scenario of the Great War of the Holy Spirit began, he hardly left his seat and kept an eye on the situation happening everywhere. Unlike Jack, who hardened his face with a serious expression, he had a yful smile as if he was genuinely having fun. ck me Dragon of Darkness and Choco Pie Joe. I thought these two were the main characters leading the stage of the Great War of the Holy Demons... but not at all? The sudden appearance of Dex. Minsu, who began to freely ess all of Arcadia''s information after unlocking all security levels that no one in Arcadia could prate, with the authority of the top manager, soon mumbled with his eyes wide open. hmm....? Wandering song of turmoil...? This is a job I made...? Minsu reads Jaeyoung''s character information. And he tilted his head as soon as he saw the name of something familiar. Alice, this user job is the one I made, right? [That''s right.] Remnants of the oldest dark Asura hidden in a beginner''s vige on the 2nd continent of Arcadia. Minsu narrowed his eyes and murmured, realizing that his rice cake, which seemed very clumsy but had been hidden so that most users would not even think to find it, was already released in this world. But why didnt I know? [When the user obtained the job, the manager was immediately notified.] Really...? [That''s right. Please check the corresponding log data.] Hmm..... Did you send an email? Minsu is at a loss for words when physical evidence that cannot be refuted or deniedes out. Looking at the date, as if recalling the situation at that time, he was lost in thought, and then shook his head. Yeah..... At this time, it was the time when we started working with NXSA to make rockets. I guess I just skipped it because I was in the middle of a hectic time. Min-soo, who licked his lips as if he couldn''t help it, though it was a little regretful, soon opened his eyes wide while examining Jae-young''s information with an interesting face. what? This... Why is there so much probability? A fraudulent force that shakes all causality andws in this Arcadia. probability. With that probability, he could shake everything at will, so Min-soo created a fraudulent job called a wanderer in troubled times, but that''s why he set the difficulty of the job to a level close to atrocious. It would be impossible to umte probabilities unless they were at a reasonable level...? What on earth do you do to umte billions of probabilities like this? Are the numbers I''m looking at correct? [There is nothing wrong with the data the administrator is checking.] Really...? An incredible amount of usibility that makes even the developer of the turbulent wanderer doubt his eyes. However, Minsu, who quickly looked at his acquisition record, had no choice but to admit it. [Newbie Killer] [Slime Saint] [Relic Destroyer] Killing ignorant beginners andmitting atrocities that destroy their home. [The impostor who devours the demon king] [The designer of darkness] [The noble judge] [The seeker of neutrality] Triggered and ended the rampage of the Holy Empire and the witch hunt that split the entire continent in half. [Friend of the Dwarves] [Hero of the Elves] [Guardian of the World Tree] He made the secluded species reappear in the world and saved the World Tree from its dormancy. Even though I''ve only skimmed the first part, there''s an enormous amount of data that''s been tightly recorded since then. Realizing that it wasn''t enough to check everything right now, he muttered with a tired expression. Wow... are these things you did when you were a beginner? With only six months since opening? Huge events, each of which caused enormous controversy and waves. Seeing that it all started with one person, Minsu nodded as if he finally understood. For a person of this caliber, such an absurd level of probability is not absurd. [That''s enough for a nobleman. Do you know how hard it was for everyone at Arcadia, including me, for the job you created ? In front of Minsu, who was the culprit who created him, Jackined andined that he had never been able to bear it. What...isnt that the job that was created to be like that in the first ce? Although it sounds like you had a much bigger ident than I expected. In one hand, the demon god of death, the Deathbringer. And in the other hand, Dex is holding the celestial god, Eternity''s End. Minsu, who was looking at him in real time, asked Jack. So what do we do? [What?] Isnt that aplete contradiction based on the settings you made? Good and evil are ipatible. Looking at this situation because it waspletely out of sync with the setting, Alice was demanding immediate action from Jack. Since it has appeared in the world like that, even you can''t deny that? Moreover, considering future follow-up measures, some degree ofpromise seems inevitable. This absurd situation in which two divinities, which always antagonize and collide, are assimted into one person. Jack, who had no precedent and had never even imagined a situation like this, so while he was struggling with what to do, he looked at Minsu, who wasughing with an evil smile, and said bluntly. [What the hell are you talking about? You seem to have an idea, but don''t go round and round, just say it.] Unlike himself, who has no ns, Minsu seems to have an ulterior motive. He began to talk about his n to Jack''s questioning. What... its nothing. I just want to tweak the existing settings a bit. [Adjust the settings...?] To be honest, Jack can''t clearly ssify everything into good and bad. Depending on the point of view and the person looking at it, the difference between the two is as subtle as a sheet of paper. Jack was born deformed from birth and has lived in bed all his life. To him, Minsu pointed out the many contradictions that had urred in this Arcadia with a slightly bitter expression and asked again. There is no absolute good or absolute evil in this world. The value of everything is rtive. To put it simply, is it good if he is good to me and evil if he behaves like a dog? Think about it. The same goes for Arcadia you made. Were all the camps that represented the good camp really good? And whether those who now symbolize the camp of evil are truly heinous. The Holy Empire, whomitted countless atrocities with faith close to fanaticism, and the ck magicians who struggled to survive while crying out for bloody revenge. Looking at this contradictory situation where he couldn''t even tell who was good and who was evil, Jack asked with a subtle expression. [So.... what should we change?] Now, let''s not define this world with ck and white logic. Lets admit that it is possible for good and evil to mix and coexist in this world, just as ck and white make gray. [The two... are mixed...?] There''s that product over there, isn''t it? Minsu points his finger at the monitor at Jack, who doesn''t seem to understand what he''s talking about. It was only then that Jack could understand the meaning of what he was saying. The name is... yes. holy demons. The Holy Demons seem to be fine. Its to create a new race with the feeling of being a hybrid of angels and demons who can use divine and magical powers at the same time. Minsu decides to change the existing setting and release an unheard-of hybrid called the Holy Demon Tribe as a new race. At that crazy idea, Jack looked at his face with a nk expression as if he was at a loss for words, but Minsu smiled and gave instructions to Alice as if he was not joking. Alice, are the things I said applicable? [In order to apply what the manager said, 132 settings rted to Pandemonium and Heaven need to be modified. In addition, since there is no data on new jobs, the implementation work of the top developer must be preceded.] Minsu, who massively revises the world view that supports the world he created, and adds additional work to it. Seeing him staring at him with a sly smile, Jack shook his head with a disgusted expression. [You''re really... you''re such a great guy.] Didn''t you know? Am I really good? [I don''t know if he''s proud, but I think I know why he''s called the craziest guy in the world.] Don''t you know that being crazy and being smart are subtle enough that the difference is just a piece of paper? [I don''t know! You''re responsible for all the chaos between boss Lee Mi-yeon and Jennicater.] I don''t know about Mi-yeon, but you have to deal with Jenika. When he sees me, he sincerely runs to infect me with the mutated AIDS virus. How can I stop him? [Oh, I don''t know. I was advocating for you to Jenica, but the other day, the real LAN cable was confiscated for over 10 days. I don''t know anything. This is all because you forced me to do it. I know that.] I know. I understand, so let''s start working quickly. Minsu smiles mischievously and brazenly steps forward. Then he picked up the hot chocte and turned his gaze back to the monitor, leaving behind Jack, who started working with a grunt. Now...so how are you going toe out now? The wandering song of the turbulent times, which was his remnant and seed nted in this world. However, Min-soo, realizing that the seed had sprouted from the seed and had already grown into a giant tree, looked at Jae-young with more interest than ever as to what kind of finale he would finish the stage of the twisted Great War of the Holy Spirit. did. And just like that, the end of the Second Holy Demon War, which split the world in two, was approaching. The birth of a new race called Holy Demons, the emergence of a new ability called Holy Magic, the change in the fundamental setting of good and evil, which were at odds in eternal disputes and conflicts, and the revision of the worldview that supported this world from the moment of creation .e and say In this way, due to the variable created by one user named Dex, the dispute between good and evil that seemed tost forever in Arcadia came to an end. While sprouting hope and the possibility of an imperfect but feeble peace. Chapter 437 Chapter 437 The King of the Crackers (7) The ruler of all the dead and the one who transcends death. The Lord of Death. The Pope, the first representative of Heaven and the one who aplishes miracles. The Dark me Dragon and Choco Paizoa, who reached the peak and end of what they could achieve as necromancers and priests, were absolute powerhouses in this world that even the emperors of the great empire could not dare to ignore or despise. They can destroy a country and rule the entire continent alone if they do their best ording to their mind. But now these two were struggling even though they were projecting all their power. Keugh... Ghosts who have gone mad with anger and resentment, show my enemies the fear of your terrible despair! Festival of Souls. Ghost Festival. Among the necromancers, the ck me Dragon of Darkness who activated this skill, which is an ultimate skill that can only be acquired by peaking with a specter, and is no different from the final secret technique. [It''s unfair! It''s unfair! It''s unfair!] [Keuhehehe. why me! Why only me!] Then, an enormous legion of souls began to pour into his realm, the Death Field. Although they do not have a form, they are powerful specters over tens of thousands born out of great resentment and anger. And to them, the ck me Dragon of Darkness pointed at the target to show its anger. [die! die! die! die! Die!] The wrath of the dead that nothing can stop. However, facing the storm of the soul, Jaeyoung was blocking the attack with simple ignorant methods. Woo woo woo. The end of eternity, a god filled with the power of destruction. Jae-Young, who has a strong divinity and can strike directly at the spirit body of even those who have no form, begins to sh tens of thousands of ghosts from all directions with that sword. [Ee Ee!] The ghosts who destroy the sharp screams in terrible pain just by rubbing the end of eternity. Looking at them like that, everyone made a wonder expression. -Wow..... Are you cutting all of that right now? -It''s not some kind of danmaku shooting game..... It''s attacking from all sides, but you''re attacking it like that? -Ignoring Dex? There are several world records in shooting games that he has changed. -I don''t think I''m using any special skills right now. Is it a true physical story..... -Wow..... Really crazy about control. - He who uses his ultimate skill only with t attacks... What the hell... Dex doesn''t use any special skills except that he is holding a divine weapon and can freely move in the air because he has wings. The ck me Dragon of Darkness could not keep his mouth shut when he saw him destroying his strongest skills with only his pure sense of battle and talent. That sword... I''m sure...'' Dex held an antique sword in his hand. Seeing it shining brilliantly, emitting pure white brilliance, he couldn''t help but recall the memories of the past as he continued to see the message floating in front of his eyes. [The summoned Death Knight'' is put to eternal rest.] [The summoned Wailing Ghost'' is put to eternal rest.] [The summoned Elder Lich'' is put to eternal rest] . . . Messages continued to fill up in front of him whenever Dex''s sword was swung. And the result was the same as before. [Cannot be summoned again due to the effect of eternal rest.] Even if you die, if you supply magic power, the undead wille back to life and attack the enemy. However, those who fell to him did not respond to the Dark me Dragon''s call again, as if they had met an eternal death. So he could be sure. That the existence of Dex, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, was the main culprit in ruining the witch hunt he had been anxiously searching for and the culprit ofpletely annihting the rich argamer. why! Why did you bastard do this...! Personally, Dex doesn''t even have a one-sided rtionship. Because of his enormous reputation, the ck me Dragon of Darkness also knew of Dex''s existence, but had never met or even talked to him. Since he had no interest whatsoever, the ck me Dragon of Darkness felt like going crazy and jumping up and down when he saw Dex again appearing at this decisive moment and trying to block his sess. However, unlike him, Dex looks at him with eyes that seem to know him very well. He was clearly revealing that he would intervene in this fight. That''s what I warned you about before. Don''t fall prey to strange twists and covet power that doesn''t fit your fountain. Then your stomach explodes and you die? He says he overestimates the power he has. If you look at it objectively, that statement wasn''t so wrong. The job of the death lord and the power bestowed on him, even temporarily, was obviously fraudulent and overwhelming to the extent that it was absurd for a single user to have. But... coo-goo-goo-goo. Seeing his outrageous behavior of raising a mighty power that was iparable to his own, the ck me Dragon of Darkness felt an indescribable absurdity and contradiction. Im sorry, but lets notplicate the situation any further and end it at this level. In his hand is the Deathbringer, the god of the demon world. Discharging that power to the fullest, Jaeyoung activated the strongest skill to give the Dark me Dragon a suitable end. The Requiem of the Apocalypse. Arge-scale wide-area skill that wipes out everything at once with powerful magic. The destructive power that wiped out the mighty Eden''s most elite troops rushed to devour the ck me Dragon of Darkness, but an unexpected obstacle came in front of him. Firm faith and faith protect my body from copsing. God''s shield, look upon your servant! Unbreakable Faith. Koo Goo Goo Pce. Choco Paijoa, who has been fighting a fierce duel to take each other''s lives until just now, deploys the highest level of divine defense to save him. No matter how powerful it was, Jaeyoung''s skill, which could not prate the divine barrier of superiority, eventually disappeared after devastating the surroundings with an intense shock wave without fulfilling its original purpose. What is this...? ...? The ck me dragon of darkness looks at Choco Piezoa gasping for breath next to him with a look simr to Jaeyoung looking at him with an absurd look. Other than that, none of the users who were watching this situation understood his sudden action. -Why is Choco Pieing out of there? -I know....? From Choco Piezoa''s point of view, wasn''t it better for the ck me Dragon to die? -what....? That moment when everyone makes expressions they can''t understand. Choco Piejoa shouted in earnest. ? ??? ?? ???? ?? ?? ???? ?????! Don''t re-sprinkle the finished rice by suddenly appearing like this! You damned impersonator! The Great War between Good and Evil. The conditions for ending this war were clearly set. The death of the ck me Dragon of Darkness by Choco Piejoa, who represents the good camp. The death of Choco Piezoa by the ck me Dragon of Darkness, which represents the evil camp. There was no option to be killed by a bizarre half-angel, half-demon hybrid anywhere, so Choco Paijoa shouted nervously as she watched the timer run toward zero. If I can''t kill this guy here, I can''t close the Hell Gate! So don''t be weird, you''re just watching! This is my fight! Choco Paijoa started walking the path as an apostle of the World Tree with half of his will and half of other. Obviously, the beginning was bizarre and absurdly strange, but as time passed, he became truly immersed and immersed in the world again and again. [Thank you very much, Mr. Choco Pie. If it wasn''t for you, all of our fairies would have been killed by those evil humans.] [May the blessings of nature always be with you on every path you walk.] [Choco Pie oppa is Um... Ruby. It''s not as handsome when you go, but it smells good!] [Are you... a person who says outrageous things about bringing the Elven Kingdom back to life?] He faces many different races and solves their problems for them, helping them to survive the crisis. He felt a sense of reward, mission, and responsibility that he could never get in real life. That''s why, more than anyone else, he stood at the forefront with a pledge to protect this world, so he rebelled against that monstrous impersonator. But... What kind of dog bone sound is that talking about again? Dex muttered with a bewildered look in his eyes, whether he knew his true feelings or not. And instead, he frowned at Choco Paijoa as if he had a headache and asked nervously. Do you know how hard I am trying to resolve this situation amicably? ...what the hell is that about? Choco Paijoa, who doesn''t seem to understand his words at all. After looking at him for a moment, Jaeyoung sighed in frustration and shook his head. Ehh... thats it. If you think that the given scenario is everything, no matter how much you exin it, only my mouth hurts. Arcadia, where nothing has been decided. Arcadia is a fantasy world where it is possible to reject the options and conditions already given and to shape one''s own destiny by makingpletely new, bizarre and crazy choices. Beneath infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. Clearly, Jae-yeong, who has a deeper insight than anyone else, that the tragic narrative of the Great War of the Holy Spirit can be brought to a happy ending in apletely different way, begins to condense all his strength into the two sacred shoes he is holding. Lets finish this. Woo woo woo. What is that... Fuuk. The moment when Choco Piejoa tries to argue with the words to finish. As a strange sensation surged through her chest with a strange rupture sound, Choco Paizoa looked down inadvertently and could clearly see the jet-ck sword embedded in her heart. Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu] And simr to himself, the ck me dragon of darkness was urately pierced through the chest with a pure white sword. Seeing the two of them receiving a fatal blow at the same moment in the moment when they couldn''t even react, let alone resist, the chat window went wild. -what! What is this all of a sudden! -crazy! What happened the moment I blinked? -Is that possible? what was it just -X feet! That''s a scam! How do you react to that to avoid it? -I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! With those who are amazed beyond admiration at the movement that seems absolutely impossible. -ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! ck color! - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! - Hahaha This is Dex. I believed you! Dex, who made a new history again, and even those who pour out praise for the color ck. At that time, the chat window is overflowing with numerous human groups pouring out all kinds of colorful reactions. Dex whispered to the two of them as they turned gray with faces of disbelief. Two people who are agents of heaven and hell die at the same time. Even to those who are not on either side. Then... who will be the winner of this Holy Demon War? Jae-young talks about the current reality in a low voice. And he said strongly as if to never forget this moment. There is no fixed end in this world. Don''t make arbitrary conclusions just by looking at the quest window. Because every story is made with your own hands. The Holy Demon War, which made the entire continent of Arcadia run wild, came to an end. The celestial faction too. The demon world''s faction, too. With a crazy ending that is absurd, absurd, and absurd, that both of them died from a sudden intrusion of a stranger without victory anywhere. Chapter 438 Chapter 438: The King of Crackers (8) Arcadia, a fantasy world enjoyed by billions of people. This world of open world, with a size so vast that it does not evenpare to the real earth, was filled with countless things to enjoy. [Can you listen to my concerns? A young man passing by there?] [Hahaha! Who will defeat Kerpetal, the tyrant of the ck Desert!] [Hmm..... Is there apetent adventurer who can explore the hidden ruins nearby?] [Can you quietly deal with one person without making noise? The examples are thick.] All kinds of stories that countless human groupse together to create. And in between them, the adventurers always drew their own conclusions. Sometimes a miserable and sad tragic ending. Sometimes it''s just and everyone has a happy ending. Users who sometimes filled the virtual world as members of Arcadia, creating ambiguous endings. And all of this was possible thanks to the existence of Alice, who has transcendent cognitive abilities. Woo woo woo. unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. In order to realize the value of this fantasy world and thepany philosophy of Arcadia Co., Ltd., she rotates the vast arithmetic circuit without a break even for a minute and a second, contemting, looking at, and analyzing literally everything. and predicted [A fatal error urred.] [A new additional variable logical contradiction urred.] And at this moment, a new development broke the existing expectations and was born. Even her logic circuit, which had transcendent capabilities, had to temporarily stop in an unfamiliar development that could not be found even in the countless predictable scenarios. But... she was given the right to act more actively and autonomously than anyone else. So even in this situation where everyone was frozen in shock and confusion, Alice calmly came up with the most appropriate ending and dered the end of this scenario of the Great War of the Holy Demons. [Act. 4 The Holy Demon War has ended.] [Both camps have died.] [The victorious faction of the Holy Demon War does not exist.] [Judgment result.... Draw.] Pull out all the remaining pirs of the Heavens. Michael''s camp, which dered thest stand to stop the invasion of the demon world by abandoning it. For eons of time, Satan''s camp, who always endured all sorts of sorrow and hardship as a loser, finally drew the sword of revenge dreaming of reversing the tide of war. It was a result like an empty cider that no one had won. Therefore, the response to this message that everyone hears inmon was absurdity and futility itself. -tie....? - Oh shit. are you kidding. where is that -No, how much time and money did I put into this scenario? -what? Did the evil camp lose just because that ck me Dragon died? Does that make sense? - Hahahaha Really, this game only excites me more and more. good or evil The war was preceded by an enormous amount of investment, to the extent that it is safe to say that almost everything was bet on either side. Because there were more people who bet a lot on this scenario than expected, and because the difference in the charter was still so significant that it could be said to be overwhelming, almost no one epted these results. You kidding me! It''s over like this! that''s right! All of our forces are still intact! Hell Gate is also operating normally, so we just have to push it all out! It''s a scenario, it''s a nabal, just kill all of those bastards! Even though the end of the scenario has been dered, those who do not acknowledge it and express their anger. However, it was none other than Jaeyoung who stood in their way. Im sorry for hitting a second on a game that seems like youve won it all, but now that its all over, why dont you go back quietly? Jae-young stands in front of the users as if to prevent anyone from approaching the realm of the world tree. Considering the force he disyed, even if all of them attacked at the same time, there was no chance of winning, but they had no intention of backing down even if they had already suffered heavy losses. This is all because of you! Why the hell are you doing this? Is it all about being famous? What are you going to do if you suddenly interrupt and fuck everyone up like this? Take responsibility! Because of you, my reward was blown away! What are you going to do now? The evil faction argues with Jae-young, who ended this scenario, to take responsibility for the damage they saw. As if they were trying to take their anger out on him, they pushed him with a fierce force, but Jaeyoung didn''t blink an eye as if he wasn''t intimidated in the slightest, and instead spoke with a sneer at them. What reward? The price of your blood obtained by killing all the other camps? A virtual world where everything is just data. That''s why people used tomit all kinds of evil acts insensibly without any guilt or remorse because everything was an illusion. Murder. plunder. arson. Horrible war crimes that literally take away someone''s home. Jae-young did not feel sorry for them, as he had conquered countless cities and viges across the continent and had done things to umte bad karma. To be honest, I dont want to defend the Holy Church because of their sins. Shouldn''t you rather say thank you to me here? For stopping me frommitting more crimes than this. ...? What kind of nonsense is that... The users who make absurd expressions about saying nonsensical things. And they showed intense hostility and raised their lives. Fuck. Even if I have to go after you here today, I will immerse you as much as you bastard. No matter how strong you are, do you think you can beat this side here? Guys! Start with that child! The users who joined the Demon King''s Army and participated in this war by umting quite a few achievements. Among them, there were a few who got a fairly high level position and wielded thousands of witches, so the prestige of those who besieged Jae-young was so enormous that it could not be ignored. But... What? attack! Attack! No, why are these bastards suddenly like this? Witchbeasts who do not even budge no matter how much you order them to attack. The faces of the users were stained with bewilderment as they saw those who showed apletely different look from the ones who bravely ran without fear of death no matter how strong they met. Krurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr .. Kehee rerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Looking at those who seemed to feel extreme fear, users were able to intuit that something was wrong. You guys... you seem to be mistaken about something... dont you know that the Pandemonium ranks above all else? An absolute hierarchy and a world of demons that moves from top to bottom like a real army. Looking at those who were ordering the lowest-level soldiers there to attack him, Jae-young smiled and said, as if it was ridiculous. Kneel. Koo Goo Goo. What is this...? What crazy! My body... Why is my body like this? A scene where thousands of users kneel at the same time at Jaeyoung''s short words. It was a truly spectacr scene, but the faces of those kneeling were flushed red from exertion, as if they didn''t want to do that, stained with embarrassment. As long as you are a member of the Demon Realm and a member of the Demon Kings Army, you are beings under mymand. Satan, the demon lord of chaos. The power of absolutemand that applies to all members of the Demon Realm that he possesses. Jaeyoung, who had activated it, clearly confirmed the effect of the power and smiled as if teasing. You... what the hell are you? Does this make sense! How could he do this to the subject of being the same user as us... An existence that is talked about as a legend not only in Arcadia but also in numerous games. Dex. However, the power and prestige he is now showing to the world is not just outstanding. A power close to iprehensible. In response to their astonished questions, Jaeyoung just looked down at them with a strange smile and started to change the topic around them. I know everyone is pissed off because of me, but dont rush to death like that. You may not like this ending, but in my opinion, this was the only way for everyone to win. Win-win...? What the hell are you talking about? Those who do not understand the huge picture Jaeyoung is drawing. However, Jaeyoung came up with a slightly unique idea toe up with the best and most neutral ending in which neither Tan nor L bleed. The heavens and the demon world exist because they are necessary for this game anyway, right? Its a story about trying toe up with an ending where everyone canugh satisfactorily without having to ughter the other side so that it bleeds. ...? That time when everyone is on their knees and making stupid faces. Jaeyoung looked up at the sky and muttered with a more evil expression than ever before. I dont know who the hell came up with such a vicious scenario... Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. The developer who created this world. Although he hadn''t figured out his identity yet, Jaeyoung smiled as he felt a sense of dj vu as if he were looking at him. Im the kind of person who really hates touching my people. Although they are like elementary school students who always fight and fight, Jae-young does not favor anyone in his own way and always treats them neutrally. Therefore, in order to bnce this world that has tilted to one side, he brought enormous probability to the celestial camp. Be open. just a short word. However, as a result, scenes that no one could have imagined began to unfold before their eyes. Woo woo woo. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Nonsense..... Oh my God... Is this true...? A huge hole opening in the sky with intense brilliance. And everyone froze as they looked at the intense, pure white light emanating from it, and at the beings with pure white feathers protruding one after another from there. The sacred celestial gate that opened in the past on Mount Pagon. Heavens Door. Jaeyoung, who opened it again, looked up at the sky with a satisfied face and murmured. It is too unfair to close the passage to hell that has already been opened, so we should open the passage to heaven equally. At that time, everyone is just lost in the passage to the sky that suddenly opened, not being able to wake up. Everyone began to hear the unbelievable aftermath of the ending of this nd and boring scenario. [Settle the results of the scenario.] [Regional demons have been opened.] [Regional celestials have been opened.] [You can move to each dimension if certain conditions are met.] [New species of demons have been added.] [New Elyos has been added.] . . . The Holy Demon War, which leads to a tragic ending in which either side is destroyed. However, a scenario that ended without any destruction and a passage to two dimensions that openedpletely unexpectedly. In the midst of these crazy variables that no onees to their senses, Alice eventually came to the optimal conclusion. The ending of the opening of the heavens and demons, which was never nned and never thought to be. And seeing that, Jaeyoung asked back with a mischievous smile at everyone who was looking at him with bewildered faces. How about it? Isnt this a happy ending for everyone? Chapter 439 Chapter 439 Unable to resolve (1) Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. As the CEO of Arcadia Co., Ltd., a global conglomerate with hundreds of branch offices worldwide and billions of subscribers, her power was enormous. - Urgent Breaking News. President Lee Mi-yeon''s shocking remarks revealed. - President Lee Mi-yeon''s thoughts on the current government. -Shock! Which cosmetic brand does the CEO of Arcadia, a globalpany, use? A word she said shook the world''s stock market and financial district, and she has tremendous influence, bing a trend no matter what she wears, eats, or uses. Even the president, who is said to be the pinnacle of power, had tremendous power that she could not do anything about, but that power was only limited to reality. Haa... what the hell are you doing? Its Minsu. A united continent that was suddenly twisted. Arcadia''s fourth scenario, The Second Holy Demon War. Like the other employees who fell into panic, she watched the situation of the scenario without leaving her seat for a single moment, and it was clear that she was very troubled by the current situation. However, unlike CEO Lee Mi-yeon, Min-soo, who had a very calm and unconcerned expression, deftly epted her barbed rebuke. Well... Neither me nor Jack could do anything about it in that situation. What can I do topletely change the narrative of the scenario at will? Apletely new development thatpletely reverses the basic flow of the Great War. Minsu and Jack had no choice but toe up with an almost impossible ending that no one expected. However, that''s the case... Demonic world and heavenly world? Arent other areas outside of Arcadia not even intended to be opened to users in the first ce? devil and heaven. And to the spirit realm and the phantom realm. The two dimensions that suddenly appeared came as a huge shock to even Lee Mi-yeon, the president, because there was no intention of allowing users ess to spaces other than Arcadia in the first ce. Well... that''s true, but now that it''s like this, there''s nothing we can do about it. As usual, Jack and Alice are making various contents to make their nose bleed, and we are working on modifying things to suit the game system, so there shouldnt be any big problems. But thats the case... how else can I deal with this... The Heavens Door that has already opened hugely in the sky and the Hell Gate that has opened all over the continent. Nothing was revealed yet, but seeing these doors not closing even after the scenario was over, users inferred that they might be able to cross over to the heavens and the demons through these doors, and were already full of excitement. -The heavens and the demons. really crazy - How on earth is the content of this game? -Godgame is Godgame. always new -Are angels and demons able to choose now? - Ha ha ha! wing! wing! -Is it possible to have a fantasy hellfire party with the subus sisters now? -So.... How can I cross over to the Heavens and the Demons? The situation has already reached an out of control level. So CEO Lee Mi-yeon grabbed her throbbing hair, looked at Min-soo, who smiled in front of her, and let out a deep sigh. Haa... But next time something like this happens, at least say something to me in advance. I don''t know what to say to the staff either. Hi-Hi. I know, sister. I''m sorry about this. Minsu smiles lightly and winks as if he is not serious at all. However, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her hand and changed the topic, as if there was nothing new at all. So... what about the detailed changes? I think I should exin the basic situation at the press conference. Oh is that it? Alice. [Relevant data sent. Please check it.] A horrendous report of over a thousand pages immediatelynded in her mail. Lee Mi-yeon, who was looking at the document on her phone, which seemed like it would take a whole month to read it all, looked at Min-su with an expression asking when this was finished again. Ellis put a lot of effort into it. President Lee Mi-yeon said with a tired face to Min-soo who answered with a smirk as if she understood the meaning of the eyes. First of all... I''ll have the staff in charge review the data in detailter. Its impossible to read all of that until the press conference in two hours, so can you exin the main points? Um..... So that''s it..... President Lee Mi-yeon listened to the exnation about the changes in this update for a long time. And she muttered as she looked at Minsu with a tired face. Really..... Minsu always casually undertakes an enormous task that no one can handle. Seeing what he had done, President Lee Mi-yeon expressed sincere condolences to his subordinates from the bottom of his heart. Thinking of the huge aftermath that wille. * * * [Yes. all right. what can''t you do I did it with some determination, so it doesn''t matter if the boss says he''ll reveal it himself. I don''t have to make a separate rification video, so it''s like one more thing.] Thank you. If I had said no, I would have been in trouble because I had nothing to say in front of reporters. Thanks for understanding. President Lee Mi-yeon continues the phone call with a slightly brighter smile at Jae-young''s willing eptance. After a long time, she finally put the phone down, and several executives, including the managing director who gave the rmendation, approached her with a hesitant attitude and spoke cautiously. I... boss. Time is up now. Oh yeah? CEO Lee Mi-yeon nodded at those words, took a deep breath, and calmed down. And as she opened her eyes wide and nodded as if she was determined, the entrance to thepany, which had been firmly closed, opened. Its up! camera! Turn the camera! yes! Right now, President Lee Mi-yeon, who oversees Arcadia Co., Ltd., appears on the scene... Reporters frantically gathered outside thepany. A huge crowd of domestic and foreign media gathered together and made a fuss, and as soon as she appeared, shes were fired from all sides, trying their best to capture this press conference. In a situation where the whole world is watching, President Lee Mi-yeon is trying to announce her position on thetest situation through a live broadcast. She started talking about the fantasy world of Arcadia to the microphone installed on the podium. [The recent Second World War of Holy Magic is not a random scenario. It is a narrative that started from one trivial incident and spread to hundreds, thousands... no, tens of thousands of serial events. Just as the pping of a butterfly''s wings causes a typhoon somewhere far away.] Butterfly Effect. A witch hunt triggered by the Argamer''s invasion. The resurrection of the World Tree and the continental integration that resulted from it. The downfall of Eden began with the unfair deaths of the residents of a small vige. In the midst of those huge events, all the necessary conditions for the scenario of the tricky and vicious Holy Demon War to be activated were met, and as a result, everyone faced a huge disaster. [Originally, this scenario would have ended in disaster and great tragedy for everyone. Whether it''s the holy camp or the dark camp... either of them would have suffered irreparable damage, and the victorious camp wouldn''t have dared tough at the devastated continent.] The initial nning intention was to have a sad ending . The worst grand narrative that was created based on assumptions. Camera shes went off like crazy at the candid confession of President Lee Mi-yeon, who smelled like she was going to feed the users huge taffy. [But... this scenario has a new ending that no one predicted. The world tree did not fall, and both the evil apostles who led the demon world and the divine apostles who represented the heavens all met the same death and were defeated.] A perfect draw with no winners or losers . [Therefore, it is clear that the current situation has deviated from our nning intention. However, in this world that advocates infinite freedom and infinite possibilities, these variables can of course happen, and our executives and employees thought that these changes should not be prevented after serious consideration and deliberation.] No one at Arcadia Co., Ltd. It is a story that has never been agreed upon, but President Lee Mi-yeon looked back at the executives standing with puzzled expressions and strongly dered. [Therefore, Pandemonium and Heaven will be open to all adventurers in the future. And if you meet various conditions, you will be able to change your race to a new tribe as a member of the demon world and the celestial world. You can choose between good and evil, or stick to neutrality as a human as you do now. It will be your choice.] The appearance of the demon world and the heaven world. And the addition of new races Elyos and Asmodians. Reporters frantically raised their hands at the new change, which was nothing short of arge-scale update, and tried their best to ask her any questions, but President Lee Mi-yeon waved her hand as if she hadn''t finished talking yet and kept her mouth shut until everyone calmed down and quieted down. asked ..... Not long after that, the moment everyone fell into silence. She started telling a story no one expected. [Recently, I entered Arpendia and looked at the thoughts of adventurers. It was full of suspicions about a user named Choco Piezoa and a user named Dex.] ....? The two people who are mentioned as being spread over Arpendia recently. Choco Pie Joa and Dex. When she suddenly brought up a story about these two, the reporters'' eyes began to change. [Originally, it would be against the principle for me to openly mention information about a user''s individual, but considering the seriousness of the matter, I contacted the user and obtained prior permission, so I will disclose it to everyone right now.] Again excitement and madness The atmosphere started to be colored with. It was very quiet as no one was breathing, but in this precarious silence like a time bomb that seemed like it would explode any moment you touched it, President Lee Mi-yeon said. [Among Arcadia''s items, there are camouge items and skills with various effects. Some only change appearances, others change nicknames, and thieves and assassins love these items. It is effective when infiltrating or escaping important facilities or cities.] [However, most skills and items are a bit weak or have a time limit. Even if you take a little damage, the camouge will be released, or it will be automatically released after a certain amount of time. But... in the case of the Deceiver''s Mask'', a mythical item, it''s a little different.] ....? ...! [There are no special time limits or restrictions on performance, nor any stat penalties. You can simply imitate the target you want at will and hide your original identity. And... I can''t tell you when, but it seems that the adventurers have been confused about the identity of the two users for quite a long time.] No way..... Then really... .? The interview hall started to stir like crazy at the words of President Lee Mi-yeon. The reporters were intuitively aware of her story, but at that time, everyone was looking at her with an expression of Could it be...?'' President Lee Mi-yeon smiled strangely and dered to everyone. [So I''ll confirm it myself right here. The person you thought was Choco Paijoa is actually Dex in disguise.] And after that moment. President Lee Mi-yeon could not add a single word and had to end the press conference in a hurry. By the bombardment of tremendous questions from reporters who exploded more than expected, and by the camera shes that went blinding. Chapter 440 Chapter 440 Unable to Resolve (2) [The person you all knew as Choco Paijoa is actually Dex, who disguised his identity.] After the official remarks by Lee Mi-yeon, general president of Arcadia Co., Ltd. Numerous gamemunities, including Arfandia, began to be swept by a huge aftermath that was no different from the explosion of a nuclear bomb. -Then, what are the videos that have been uploaded to the daily life of the destroyer so far? -Wait a minute..... Then who was that when the slime invaded the orc vige in the first ce? - Guys, pleasee to my channel and watch the summary video. If you like it, please press subscribe too. - Wow lol. Hit the real situation. The confirmation statement of the CEO of the gamepany burst out in a situation full of undeniable video evidence of Dex, who is in the shape of Choco Piezoa. And soon after, the collective intelligence of billions of users gathered together and began to dig into all the previous situations. - I found posts posted by Choco Piejoa in the past. - Chinko Pie, the vicious troll who stered the bulletin board out of chagrin. He was the victim of an unfair impersonation. -I''ve killed Choco Piezoa before. unravel it then - upying the Orc tribe of slimes. The ringleader is Dex? - Who is the Spirit King Summoner Choco Paijoa? . . . The streamers started waiting by collecting all the videos of Choco Piezoa and Dex that were uploaded to Arfandia, analyzing them one by one, and posting all sorts of guesses. Among them, facts, lies, and even nonsense that made no sense were all mixed up, so the public who heard all the stories werepletely confused, and Iplus, which had signed a contract with these two people and imed to be their manager, was directly hit by their all-out assault. No, Im sorry, but its the first time weve heard about it, right? Its true that Dex and Choco Pie Joa both signed contracts with ourpany, but only the CEO knows about the details. You can''t give out any personal information? Why do you keep doing that? I don''t know. I don''t know. I know nothing. IPlus paralyzed all operations due to indiscriminate phone calls from ordinary people, reporters, and streamers trying to get views on this opportunity. At that time, when all employees were holding the receiver with a puzzled face, CEO Seo-wook Cho was holding the phone with a pale face. [Sorry, but that''s how it happened. The situation has grown so much that I can''t hide it anymore.] Jaeyoung''s deration that he will stop impersonating Choco Piejoa. At that, CEO Seowook Cho nodded his head slightly with an expression that he hade, but he asked with a slightly worried face at the public''s reaction that was much more explosive than expected. I know the situation, so I understand... but what do you n to do now? [Well... from now on, I have to y with my true self. There won''t be any impersonation in the future, so please tell Choco Pie that you''ve been thankful for all this time. Oh, and I''m sorry for killing you.] Choco Piejoa, who was already running amok with anger because she had already been suddenly killed. At Jae-young''s request to apologize to him, Seo-wook Jo smiled bitterly before opening his mouth. yes. All right. Let me deliver it well. Rather... can I ask you a favor if you dont mind? [Please?] That''s it..... CEO Cho Seo-wook talks about the currentpany situation with a troubled face. Although he expressed it in a roundabout way, Jaeyoung correctly grasped what he wanted and asked again. [So.... I don''t think thepany or Choco Piejoa''s exnation will be enough to calm this situation right now?] That''s right. First of all, in the case of reporters and general users, we will handle it somehow. People?] Isnt that... isnt it... ck... [Ah...] An existence that is everywhere and nowhere. Abnormal sexual desires who live and die in ck, who are obsessed with ck. Deck fan. After Lee Mi-yeon''s official announcement, they were againying down on his channel and demonstrating more intensely and enthusiastically than ever before. - rify! exin! exin! - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! -ck color! panties! ck color! panties! ck color! panties! ck color! panties! ck color! panties! ck color! panties! In one second, tens of thousands... No, hundreds of thousands of insidious and obscenements are posted, messing with the channels of all streamers belonging to iPlus. Having tried to subdue them once in the past, he had personally experienced the firepower increasing several times, so CEO Jo Seo-wook spoke to Jae-young in a sad voice as if he was very embarrassed. I can also respond appropriately to reporters and general users and pass it over, and I will deal with malicious streamers who are trying to get the number of subscribers through legal action, but they cant handle it at all. Perverts who like to y idle if they consistently do nothing, and attack more. However, knowing that if he tried to punish with the hammer of justice himself, the situation would get worse out of control, so he asked Jae-young for a difficult request. How can I... calm them down? [.....] The silence that continued for a long time at that request. And soon, Jaeyoung''s deep sigh came from far away over the receiver. [Haa..... I see. Never mind those humans. Let me handle that.] Am I really? [yes. I''ll upload an exnation video live right now. Please tell others not to use the channel transmission line.] After that, Jaeyoung hung up the phone. CEO Cho Seo-wook urgently shouted at the employees who were busy holding onto the phone. Who is using our channel right now? * * * Ha..... These fucking stalkers are real... Jae-Young immediately esses the game after hanging up the phone with CEO Seo-Wook Cho. As soon as he entered, he showed a nervous look with an angry face, so Tan and L looked at him carefully and asked carefully. What''s wrong, master? What''s wrong again? You look very unhappy. Jaeyoung shook his head and said as if it was not a big deal, seeing the two of them seeming to be extremely reluctant unlike before because they hadmitted a crime. It''s just a problem between adventurers. No big deal. At Jaeyoung''s words, Tan and L look at each other and shrug their shoulders. Jaeyoung, who was looking at the two, asked meaningfully with narrowed eyes. Rather than that... you two didnt fight without me, did you? Yes....? oh no! we didn''t fight right? huh....? its then I didn''t fight. You really didnt fight? So... Hmm... Tan, rolling his eyes, tried to answer with a calm face. Jaeyoung, who looked at him suspiciously, immediately turned his head. I''ll talk about that issue againter, and I''m busy for a while, so don''t touch me and stay calm. Why are you doing what? There is something like that. Jaeyoung shook his hands and pushed them away, then started streaming after a long time. And as soon as they waited, the pouring in of visitors soon realized that the person who turned on the broadcast was Dex, the main character of the recent topic, and soon began pouring out a tremendous response. -uh? It''s Dex! -oh. is it real crazy! -sir! sir! what the hell was thatst time? -Wow, awesome. I have to spread the word right away~ The number of chats pouring in so much that it is hard to see with the naked eye and the number of viewers going up at a crazy speed. And not long after, those whom Jaeyoung was waiting for started breaking into the broadcast. - ck Bird Ehehehehe! -brother! brother! I want to do XXXXXXXX after being XXXXXXX and XXXXXX by my brother!!!!! -I want to lick Dex''s head! -Dex, what other brand of panties do you use? . . . As soon as they arrive, deck fans are pouring out all kinds of perverted and obscene remarks to satisfy their insidious and dirty desires. It was only after this maddened crowd of twisted followers poured out that Jaeyoung began to speak. Then, lets begin by presenting our position on recent situations. The atrocitiesmitted by Tan and El. Although he couldn''t tell the whole truth that the crazy fight between the two eventually led to a great war that split the entire continent, Jaeyoung strongly appealed that what he had done was the best. As a result, thanks to that, the heavens and demons were able to open up anew. Well, there may be people who have been harmed in the process, but please understand that I thought this was the best interest for everyone in my own way. Oh, and regarding the impersonation of Choco Piejoa, we discussed with the person concerned a long time ago, and with his consent, we acted with a disguised identity. Stop asking Choco Pie Joana or Eye Plus about that part. Due to the overwhelming number of inquiries, the entire business is paralyzed. And... Jae-young vomited openly all the things she wanted to say for a long time. Even after that, after reading and answering thements of many viewers, he started talking about the reason he started this broadcast. So... I think this is enough exnation video for general users. From now on, this will be a story for fucking perverted stalkers, so please leave all the irrelevant people. -??? -...? Jae-young makes a meaningful statement as if people don''t want to be left behind. However, many question marks started to run at those words, but no one went out on the air. Jae-young guessed that nothing would change even if he waited anyway. That''s why he began to reveal his emotions without filtering, with a contemptuous expressionpletely different from his calm face until just now. Hey you fucking perverted stalkers. aversion. contempt hate anger contempt. Jae-young never stops scolding and criticizing the perverted stalkers who indulge in her panties without any filtering in the midst of emotions full of negative energy that she has squeezed her heart into. And he clearly pointed out that this whole situation was because of them. Do you know why I pretended to be wearing the mask of a deceiver? After all, it''s all because of you, you fucking Satan bastards. uh? Can you please stop that damn ck drip? Why did you keep tracking down where I am and building a spywork all over the continent to follow me? Being everywhere and nowhere. Deck fan. Those who had grown into a gigantic organization of millions... no, tens of millions, had grown to such a global scale that it was impossible to root them out. -ck! ck! ck! Panties!! -schwarzes H?schen! -calcinha preta!!!!! -qu?n lt ?en!! -ck and white!! A group of users who have achieved globalization and are shouting ck panties in all kinds of foreignnguages. These were words he had never heard of, but thanks to the real-time trantion system, he could tell that they were all words meaning ck panties, and Jae-young''s face became more and more distorted. Despite his sincere criticism and reprimand, Jae-young took out something as if he knew it would happen, seeing those he liked and enthusiastic about as an industry reward. Did I warn you the other day? If you keep making me look bad, I''ll quit the game. -That''s... can''t it be...? -Then then... The Apostle of Death that shook the entire continent in the past. Morse''s miracle. The dying sigh. Taking out the fraudulent item that holds the mortal power to erase a character, Dex sincerely warned them all. Now, here and now, I give you onest warning. If I lie down on my channel one more time and say shit, then its a game and its Nabal, Ill destroy this Arcadia with my own hands, and Ill quit the game. A deration that is no different from an ultimatum. Most of them just passed Jaeyoung''s warning as a joke, but they didn''t know it at all. The fact that he has enough power to bring about the end of the world if he chooses, and that this may be his inevitable destiny. Asura, the lord of the ck mist, who will one day reappear in this world and bring about the end of the world. As his remnant and only apostle, the Bard of Anarchy. Chapter 441 Chapter 441 Can''t Be Done (3) A dream technology that mankind has dreamed of since a long time ago, and a destructive and innovative technology that willpletely change the standard of living of civilization. virtual reality. However, realizing a virtual reality that is not just imitated but equal to reality was a tough and difficult task beyond imagination. [In order to implement virtual reality, basically, any data between the human brain and theputer must be exchanged without loss without going through the sensory organs. It''s only been a few years since we drilled a hole in a chimpanzee''s head and imnted electrodes directly into the brain. Is it possible to exchange information perfectly without any additional imnts? It''s just crazy. It''s at least a century... No, it''s a level ahead of a thousand years.] Clearly, technology rted to virtual reality reached a primitive and basic level just a few years ago. Various attempts have been made through VR, augmented reality, or the metaverse, but there has been no ce that can create virtual reality at a level that can rece reality. Until one day, Arcadia suddenly appeared. [Wee to Arcadia, the world of fantasy.] The birth of a virtual reality that is close to perfection. This absurd world, which no one expected or expected, shocked the entire and opened another huge market to this world. It is a virtual marketposed of non-existent data of 0 and 1, but it is a virtual market with goods and services that clearly have their utility and value. Companies that understood its value better than anyone else invested enormous amounts of money and struggled tounch their own services in this virtual world. It was consolidating its position as an international currency. [Perhaps future societies will divide our era into before and after the birth of Arcadia. Beyond transcending time and space, in a virtual world, we will be the first generation to get rid of the constraints of finite resources . s world. Hugend, delicious food, beautiful resorts, and fantastic festivals. Virtual reality technologies and industries cannot be excluded or avoided in any country, even due to the fact that all of them, without exception, are provided unlimitedly in virtual reality and can satisfy everyone''s desires. It has be an indispensable skill. -Virtual reality office that drastically reduces social costs. 29% reduction in public transport congestion during rush hours since officialunch. - Companies flocking to virtual reality. Large-scale development ns that are canceled one after another. Arcadia effect? -Large events and festivals held virtually. A truly global festival that transcends time and space. Economy, politics, military, culture... The technology of virtual reality is rooted in all areas regardless of its genre or category. And there was only one person behind all of this. Kim Min Soo. He alone created all the technology and equipment of this transcendent virtual reality. It was a level that could be called the father and pioneer of virtual reality, but Minsu did not pay much attention to this virtual reality. [I''m going tounch some rockets to Mars. It looks like it will be a long-term project, but can you lend me NASA''s manpower and equipment?] Minsu suddenly made an outrageous request to the US president that he would send a rocket to Mars. After that, he almost shut himself up in the US, spending several years at NXSA and disappearing. Hmm... This has changed quite a bit more than I thought. After making Arcadia, Minsu has never essed Arcadia. He logged on to the game, looked around with an innocent, ignorant face, and muttered something interesting. ruler! Is there anyone else going to the Nigel Manor? Party members are now closed! Buy flowers! It is perfect for decoration and for enhancing NPC affinity! I sell magic grade jewelry that I made myself. These are all job-specific abilities. Go see it. All japtem best buys. Buy expensive items too! Adventurers roaming around busily in a noisy atmosphere. Seeing that a small vige in the countryside that used to be peaceful and quiet in the past has turned into a ce full of life and adventures, Minsu murmured with a look of new emotion. Its definitely different from when there were only NPCs. Minsu expresses his honest impressions without thinking. Then, a voice with a beautiful tone that no one else could hear began to be heard only by him. [This is a natural phenomenon considering the activities set for NPCs and the resources allocated to them.] Alice, an artificial intelligence far beyond human limits, contemtes the world of Arcadia and coordinates everything in the shadows. Minsu nodded with a strange smile at her answer, which was no different from a game master. Then... shall we look around some other ces now...? [All right. Where do you want to go?] -Admin mode. Excluding Alice, he is the one who has the authority to directly intervene in Arcadia''s game and interfere with the system itself. That''s why Minsu was able to visit numerous areas without having to walk for days on end or pay expensive warp gates like other users. Kwuuuuung? Ohhhh! this is it! I finally seeded! A super powerful turret that has increased its firepower five times with circuits I developed myself! Aaaaaang! Aaaaaaaa! You madman! It explodes beforeunch, what kind of sess! Most of these forests have been damaged due to the recent war. Won''t you help us so that a new life can grow? Kuhhhh! Look! Shall we not unwind the hot man''s hoepo over there? The area of slimes that ate a continent. The Gael Federation sword, which has recently been gaining immense poprity as a magical technology. The city of cksmiths, where the dwarf ns live together. The realm of the World Tree, where fairies and elves live together. As long as he was ying with the job he created, Minsu muttered, looking at the traces of change that the user created, one by one. This is really... really surprising. [What do you mean?] No, it''s so amazing. Theoretically, for the turbulent wanderer I created, none of this is impossible. Its true that it was made that way in the first ce, and its definitely the intended situation. How about making a fraudulent job that can do anything? A wandering song in a troubled job world created with the crazy idea of However, it is clear that the current situation has gone beyond what Minsu had thought. Even the ancient deities that were thought to be premature have been resurrected one by one, and the entire continent has already been integrated in less than a year since it opened, and Eden has fallen. Besides, since when were elves and dwarves friendly? [It''s been quite a while. Please check the rted data.] In response to Minsu''s mumbling question, Alice presents numerous records filling the screen. But he waved his hand as if it didn''t matter. It''s not that important. What I mean is that the yers who have mastered the job y so much better than I thought when I first nned it. What kind of original idea did hee up with so that he devours probabilities to the fullest extent? There is no situation at all that can be called a failure, is there? A job with no level. Wandering song of the turbulent world. He had the fraudulent power and ability to go against anything, but he was deprived of any other opportunity for growth in return. That''s why it''s a job that has to hang on to probabilities in any situation. Therefore, sometimes he suffered from ack of probability and had to follow the restrictions of his activities, but Jaeyoung had never experienced difficulties with the limitations of his job. [It is analyzed that each user''s outstanding ability and judgment yed an important role.] Well... I admit that. I don''t know what kind of drug he was drinking, killing some novices, taking quests made for trolls, strengthening slimes, and killing entire novice viges. Without much thought, he just harassed the beginners, took the quest made for them to y around with a vicious troll, and gave candy to millions of users at the same time. Minsu narrowed his eyes and murmured as he looked around the world of Arcadia, which had been changed and the records of enormous atrocities that no one dared to follow. But... I definitely like it. [Which one do you mean?] This is exactly what I was hoping for. Arent you always bringing new events and stories to this world, which would otherwise be t and dull and monotonous, and making it more lively and lively? Dex ys a role as a malicious user who constantly touches and breaks the triggers of all kinds of hidden giant scenarios and makes Arcadia''s executives and employees scream. Exactly as Minsu wanted, Minsu muttered with a proud smile when he saw him literally doing all kinds of shit without a back. With this enough, I guess I can enjoy it, too? [What do you mean?] Alice asked back as if she didn''t understand what he was saying. To her, Minsu lightly leaped with a very evil smile. Wow. However, unlike that light movement, he soars into the sky at an extremely fast speed. And not long after, he arrived at the sky far above, overlooking the entire continent of Arcadia. One time ago... 20 years? Did you expect that much? No matter how fast, we will have to wait at least 15 years. Minsu, who created the fantasy world of Arcadia and is no different from a god. Because he has omnipotent power, he couldn''t simply enjoy the game like other users and simply y around in this world. He was rather uninterested in fraudulent powers like using cheat keys. That''s why he prepared a n from a long time ago to enjoy Arcadia in apletely different way. Woo woo woo. A strange aura emanating from his body. And Minsu muttered as if he was really looking forward to it. I didnt know that this world would ripen so quickly than I expected. It seems that there are still a lot of shortages in the case of general users.... Still, it seems that there are enough people who can be called protagonists. Users who enjoy their own y and adventure all over the continent of Arcadia. Among them, there were those who clearly stood out and those who stillcked a lot, but Minsu was looking at only one person. Now... lets see how it breaks my expectations and solves the problem? Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. The firmament began to undergo bizarre transformations ording to his gestures. And soon, as Minsu yfully raised his hand lightly up to the sky, the powerful dimensional barrier that protected Arcadia began to tear apart with a huge roar. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Minsu, who has a mischievous smile and a mischievous look. And he ordered Alice. Start the Ellis end project. [Confirmmand. final scenario. project. end (end). Operation.] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu. And at the same time, the world of Arcadia began to change violently. That time when everyone is perplexed, not knowing what to do with a puzzled face at the sudden change. The final chapter that will bring about the end of this world has begun. The owner of the ck Mist that dyed Arcadia into darkness in the past. A being from another world that is said to one day lead this world to destruction. by Asura. Chapter 442 Chapter 442 Unable to Resolve (4) The blue sky of Arcadia that made my heart feel clean just by looking at it. However, the beautiful and clear sky disappeared and only a strange sight that no one had ever seen came into everyone''s eyes. Is that...? What the hell is this... The sky shattered as if a window had been broken. The huge dimensional wall that supported and protected this world was divided into countless fragments and scattered, revealing an endless void between them. Woo woo woo. An alien world that dares not fathom its end. However, the energy that gradually spread out of the void was something that could not be exined in words, but was filled with ominous feelings. What is that again...? Ah, you damn gamer. Did it explode again? Isnt someone touching something strange? How long has it been since the Holy Demon War ended? Both NPCs and users are looking up at the sky in a daze at the strange sight that everyone is seeing for the first time. In an atmosphere as if something big was going to happen right now, even tension lingered around, and alerts were strengthened in all cities, but surprisingly nothing happened as if everything was in vain. ...? what....? A strange phenomenon for which no information or record can be found. So, everyone was looking up at the sky with faces full of questions, but those who had been allowed all the knowledge of this world and who had existed since the creation of Arcadia knew exactly what it was. The World Tree, I have brought you. Melissa, the Queen of the High Elves and the ruler of the Elven Kingdom. She possessed an aura of power and gigantic status that was iparable to before, and she was reborn as a powerful being capable of facing the transcendental dragon alone, but bowed her head in the utmost courtesy in front of the World Tree. I also greet you after a long time, Mother of all things. And Choco Piezoa, who awkwardly bows her head with a puzzled expression next to her. Since it was the first time he met her in the world of images when he changed his job as an apostle of the World Tree in the past, Choco Paizoa''s face was full of curiosity and questions about why he had called him. Youre here. The main body is a gigantic old tree whose end cannot be counted, but the world tree takes the form of a small girl with green hair. However, the lofty and elegant aura that emanated from her body and the status that radiated from her very existence made me feel once again that this young girl was a deity who supported this world. Then I''ll just leave. Melissa leaves without hesitation as if her business is over, leaving Choco Pie Joa behind. To her, the world tree smiled benevolently until the end and did not lose its dignity. But... Huh... Fuck. Its really X. As soon as she disappears, the old dignity and dignity are gone, and the world tree spits thick curse words that make you admire just by hearing it. Just when Choco Piejoa, who had gone out of her mind at the moment when Udyr was crying and was ready to go, was standing in a daze, World Tree startedmenting with a distorted face as if she was genuinely annoyed. The end of the world is suddenly approaching here when youve already been involved in a fight between that fucking chicken and the bat, and youve exhausted the odds that you dont already have. Does this fucking situation make sense? What is this? Just say don''t resist and quietly die. What is it? My father doesn''t seem to want to intervene. What are you saying when you see this? Ha, I really can''t eat it because it''s XXXX and XXXX. X feet! If a word does not swear, the world tree spews out all the resentment built up in its heart by swearing at the end of every word, as if it is cursed to be unable to speak. Although she couldn''t understand all of her story, Choco Paijoa was able to roughly infer the current situation to some extent. Uh... World Tree? Could the hole in the sky be a problem? Are you asking because you dont know that? Don''t you feel that something has be X just by looking at it? uh? Oh, no, thats not it... Choco Piezoa, who said it once, but couldnt even make it, and lowered his tail at the reaction of the sharpened World Tree. However, the world tree seemed to calm itself down by regting its breathing, and then spoke in a calm tone. Ill tell you just once, so open your ears and listen straight. A story about the birth of this world that started like that. And soon Choco Paijoa was able to realize what she was referring to. In the end, many deities in this world lost all their power and fell into vanity, disappearing into the void, and most of this continent, including me, came close to being annihted. Thanks to my father''s arrangements, it wasn''tpletely destroyed, but in the end, it''s true that I couldn''t stop what he was doing. If you are the owner of the ck mist... Asura. He is a deity of the other world who has power equal to that of the father who created this world... or perhaps even more. Ah... Asura, who has already been mentioned in the cinematic video several times. When his name, which had been mentioned in the resurrection of Vulcan in the past, came out of the World Tree''s mouth, Choco Paizoa screamed in his heart. This crazy... is this going to happen like this?'' It''s been quite a while since rice cakes about Asura appeared, but since no information has been released since then, the atmosphere has already withered. All sorts of absurd rumors and spections were rampant, but this secret story that came out of the mouth of a god, the World Tree, was more reliable than any information he had evere across. The question is... So you''re saying that Asura has turned her eyes to this world again? okay. Can''t you see the ignorancepletely tore down the dimensional wall that protected Arcadia? No one can do something thatpletely destroys the boundary itself, rather than making a small hole in the barrier. A world tree that reminds us of the dark times when the owner of the ck mist appeared in this world in the past. Her face began to turn white as if she was afraid of the fact that the powerful shield that had protected this Arcadia had disappeared. Then what will happen? The return of Asura, the master of the ck Mist. The fact that someone with a powerful powerparable to the Creator came back and who knew what that meant, Choco Paizoa asked with a puzzled face, and the answer was shocking. In the end... the end of this world wille as prophesied. death of all life. And further to my death and the death of this world. Such... The end of the world. It must have been an important issue for her as an NPC living in Arcadia, but as an adventurer who enjoys the game, her perspective on this situation is subtly different. no way? Did this crazy gamepany really consider ending the service?'' As with any game, it is an unchanging truth that eventually it reaches its limits as time passes. Just as nothing canst forever, it was clear that this world of Arcadia, filled with endless things to enjoy and adventures, would someday have its limits. Looking at what has been done so far, it doesn''t seem impossible...'' It smells like an evil n to shut down the service with an ending in which the world will perish in front of a huge apocalypse rather than holding on to a game that has run out of life. situation where you feel But that wasn''t important right now, so Choco Paijoa was lost in thought with a serious expression on her face. However, seeing him like that, the world tree said with an iprehensible small smile. But dont be so frightened already. It''s not over yet. yes....? My father also made arrangements to prevent this disaster in many ways. Are you okay...? Adventurers. ...? A being from another world who freely roams and adventures in Arcadia. adventurer. Choco Paijoa''s expression was colored with absurdity at the words that they were the creator''s arrangement to prevent the destruction of this world. The beings of Arcadia with mighty divinity, including myself, cannot deny or block their destiny. Among us, who belong to this world in the first ce, there is no one who can prevent the end of the world that that Asura will bring. Because that is our destiny and the order of the world. Even the dragon, the guardian of Arcadia with great power. Even the heads of the Heavens and the Demons. The spirit king, who symbolizes nature itself, and the divine beasts who have acquired great power through long training. Even the ancient deities who lost all power and fell asleep. The fate that wille to this world that no one can stop. However, the World Tree pointed a finger at Choco Paijoa and said. You are different. We are not of this world in the first ce, and we arepletely free from the shackles of the fate that fetters us. He was gifted with the power of immortality by his father, and he did not give in in the midst of numerous crises, but instead grew and became stronger. You adventurers are the only beings in this world who can defy the destiny and change the ending of the story. ..... The intention of making this Arcadia and the truth of this world that has never been revealed to the public. After overhearing all the settings and secret stories, Choco Piejoa waited in a daze for a while, even though it was too much to handle, and then shouted with a face full of passion and mission. Just leave it to me! huh? what? This world... I will risk everything to protect it! Just like how we protected the World Tree''s home this time... and the otherrades. Protect a world from destruction. Choco Pie Joa clings to her beating heart and resolutely resolves as if she has be the main character in a story like a heroic story. However, the world tree looked at him and asked with a face as if he was talking nonsense. you? yes....? Two people looking at each other with expressions as if each is telling a different story. And soon, the World Tree looked at him with a slightly pitiful look and opened his mouth. You mean... I think you''ve misunderstood something... Do you think this is a problem that can be solved at the level of the apostles of the chicken and me...? Nature''s Will and Pope Chocopaizoa. It was unprecedented for one individual to embrace two divinities at the same time, and it was true that it was tremendous, but even so, it was nothing more than enough to defy this great fate. ..... Choco Piejoa was shocked by the fact that he was straightforward and straight-forward. He asked in a trembling voice at the attitude of the World Tree, who did not seem to trust or depend on it at all, even though the name was an apostle that followed him. Then what do you want me to do... Find an adventurer who can change that fate and do everything you can to help. I took you with that intention in the first ce and restored the Elven Kingdom, and I gathered all the forces that I can influence, including the elves. Choco Pie Joa, whose pride was crushed to the level of powder by the fact that he was not the object of her consideration in the first ce and the heartless story of someone asking him to leave behind him. And he had no choice but to resign himself to the words of the world tree that followed. Did you say Dex...? Are you familiar with that guy? I don''t know why that damn guy introduced you... but he''s him anyway. Go to him and whatever he tells you to do, just do whatever he tells you to do without asking or arguing. The fact that he wouldn''t be able to escape the shadow of that damned impostor even if he died. Chapter 443 Chapter 443 Minsu can''t stop (1) Arcadia Co., Ltd. is a world-sspany. However, thispany, which has a bad reputation from consumers for its ability to handle business, is worse than any other small and medium-sizedpany, and everyone was busy holding on to the receiver and running around, sweating profusely, unable to wake up from the sudden drop of lightning. Yes sir. This is because it''s not at a stage where we can tell you yet..... No, we can''t guarantee that a serious situation like this scenario won''t happen. If you just wait for the official announcement right now... Reporter Kim, are you going to write a real article like that? If you do, be prepared to never see me again! If you spread false information like that, we will take legal action immediately for obstruction of business. Take care. An anomaly that suddenly urred in the game. It wasn''t that something special happened or a notification popped up in the system, but the calls from reporters and general consumers after seeing the entire sky shattered like a window were beyond their ability to handle. -A strange urrence happened again. What happened again this time? - Arcadia where idents do not end. Explosion of consumer anger. -The symbol of discord (Co.) Arcadia. Ranked #1 in Worst Companies in the Service Category by Forbis. . . . Articles with all kinds of negative and sensational titles are starting to pour in, and consumers'' public sentiment is reaching the pinnacle of patience. They tried their best to calm down the media and calm the users by somehow teasing, appeasing, and even threatening them, but the efforts of those who struggled to stay up all night did not work at all. are you kidding! This is a damnpany! Even if we leave the management of thepany to Poppy, I will do better than this! Come on boss! Come out, boss, yeah! Move! Aren''t you covering this? Is it okay to make fun of consumers like this because it''s a proud bigpany? uh? Protesters appeared in front of the Arcadia office building. The unity created by gamers who were purely angry at this poor management created an enormous explosive power and began to produce scenes never seen before. What is that? truck....? Now they even mobilize trucks for protests. A truck with a giant electric billboard installed that can only be found during election campaigns. And in that truck, it was scathingly criticizing the atrocities and behavior of Arcadia Co., Ltd. with stimting and sensational phrases in a dazzling andrge size for all passers-by to see. Ha... I don''t think this situation will end so easily, Executive Director. A huge crowd of people looking down from the top of the building. Knowing that all of them were users who had opened the door due to this situation and reporters who gathered to get an article, the time off from work was already passing, but no one was able to leave thepany door easily. By any chance... did the boss say anything? Whether it''s an exnation or an apology, thepany''s official position on this situation seems to have to be announced. However, since no guidelines had been given, everyone kept their mouths shut, but Director Kang Tae-hoon looked at Executive Director Kwon Myung-han with a worried expression and asked. I''m still having a video discussion with the directors of Arcadia Co., Ltd. I''m sure you''ll throw something to sort things out right now. Executive Director Kwon Kyeong-han said that we still have to wait. Director Kang Tae-hun nodded slightly at those words, and soon opened his mouth again with a cautious face. Um... but thats it. Does the Executive Director know anything about the current situation in the game? hmm? What do you mean? No... that''s... I tried to check the rted data, but I couldn''t read it with my authority, so just in case..... General Manager Kang Tae-hoon, who has a fairly high level of ess among Arcadia''s employees. . However, even he couldn''t confirm any information rted to this situation, so he scratched his head as if he was a little troubled and blurted out his words. ...Don''t expect any information from me. Because I couldn''t read it either. Executive Director... is that so...? Among the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., Myung-Han Kwon, executive director right below President Lee Mi-Yeon. Director Kang Tae-Hoon''s face suddenly darkened at the fact that he couldn''t even read it. Since this meant that this was not just a simple and trivial happening, but something bigger than the recent World War II, he thought of the difficult and harsh future ahead for himself and his subordinates. Really... should I resign this time...?'' While he was seriously contemting escaping in search of his own happiness in the future, he clearly heard the small monologue of executive director Myung-han Kwon. I''m really quitting after the contract period with this damnpany is over. It is the inside of a sryman with a sry of 60 billion won who thinks the same as himself. * * * The moment when everyone is waiting for the results of the meeting with nervous hearts. At the urgently held video conference, all the actual owners of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were having heated discussions... no, one-sided persuasion. [Keuhmmmm..... Look at this, Minsu-kun. Even so, isn''t the final chapter too premature since it''s been less than three years since the service started? It''s better to seriously think about it again now...] Chairman Lee Jun-hee of Ajin Electronics, who is in charge of manufacturing equipment such as Dreamer and Lucid Dream. [Thats right, Minsu. Even in Argos, many dangerous signals rted to Arcadia are being detected, and if this happens,rge-scale bloodshed such as riots or terrorism may ur. Please consider that point.] Mikhail, the CEO of Corporation Argos, which bears the burden of information of all users and subscribers and the hugemunicationwork. [hey! You crazy bastard! If you don''t stop right now, I''ll go to Korea and show you what the most terrible and painful death is. After XXXX and XXXXXX and XXXX...] Zenika, the head of Silico Bio Industries, is threatening and exuding sincere murder while exining the bizarre and horrific execution method that is unspeakable. Representatives of the threepanies that have shares in Arcadia Co., Ltd. and those with the deepest interests. They were already the owners of apany that had an indispensable and powerful economic and social influence around the world, but they were reaping huge profits from the business rted to virtual reality services. It was something I had to stop. [Even if Minsu noona thinks, it doesnt seem like it right now. Can''t you give me a little more... at least 5 years?] [Yes, Minsu. It''s not like you''re doing this without consulting me, the top developer with an equal share of the name. I think it''s still too much to go into the final chapter.] And with their help, President Lee Mi-yeon and Jack try to convince Min-soo. This might bring about the destruction of Arcadia and even end the service... In order to stop Minsu''s finger trying to press the switch of Dooms-day, five people desperately rushed to stop it. . However, despite their dedicated efforts, Minsu refused their request with a slightly pouty look on his face. Sorry, but I dont think that will work. [what....? This is the real thing!] Jenika gets angry at those words and tries to shout something. But before Minsu could open her mouth, he quickly interjected and questioned her. Regarding Asura... and all the settings for the final chapter of Arcadia, this is obviously what I was talking about from the very beginning of production. And have you forgotten your promise not to interfere in any way in that regard? [What the hell is that promise? We insisted at thest minute that we wouldn''tunch the service unless you unterally notified us and we didn''t agree.] Just beforeunching the service for the first time in North America. Min-soo demanded consent close to coercion while pushing the bizarre setting of Asura out of the blue. Jenica shouted at the situation in which she had no choice but to agree to his atrocities (?), but Min-soo responded so brazenly. Anyway, you agree. I can''t give up on this final chapter. [This is really..... You crazy bastard! Does it make sense to stop ying games that are less than three years old!] Ebebeb. I can not hear you. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Minsu blocks his ears to Jenica''s mad cries and says he can''t hear them. Among those who looked at the two''s insolence with absurd faces, Ajin Electronics'' chairman Lee Jun-hee suddenly opened his mouth. [Minsu-kun.... Just ask me. Is Arcadia''s service ending what you want?] Yes? no? I''m not crazy, why would I want that? Everyone looked puzzled as if they were at a loss for words because their words and actions were so confident, but Minsu waved his hands and began to exin with a mischievous face. I just made that decision because I judged that the level and capabilities of the users were ripe enough to handle that final scenario. Fall of Arcadia? Why would I want to destroy a world that is growing well? For no reason? [Is that so.....] Yes. All I want is one thing. The story of adventurers struggling to prevent the huge disaster I prepared and protect the world that is virtual but no different from reality. I just want to see it. Minsu speaks with a yful smile as if it would be fun just imagining it. And after confirming that he had no malicious intentions, Chairman Lee Jun-hee sighed deeply and nodded as if he had made up his mind. [Then I understand. Let''s respect your opinion.] [Yes....?] [Ah no, Chairman, what is that...?] The others look shocked at President Lee Jun-hee''s sudden action. However, he asked them back with a tired face as if resigned. [Just give up. No matter how much you persuade and try, is there anyone who can stop that daring kid?] The craziest guy in the world who achieves whatever he wants. Kim Min Soo. No one could bear to open his mouth to the question posed by Chairman Lee Jun-hee, who understood his personality better than anyone else. And Minsu, looking at the situation, said with an evil smile. As expected... the president knows something? [I''m begging you, but... Please don''t escte the situation, and I want it to end in moderation.] Don''t worry. Rather, users will look at this final chapter scenario with more excitement than ever before and will participate with fervent will. [What are you talking about again? Who tunes in to your madness?] Arcadia users are actively campaigning on the Inte not to participate in the scenario. Jenica asked, pinching their threatening atmosphere, but Minsu was not shaken at all. Hmm..... People who want to solve the final chapter scenario I am creating and get a 15% stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd.? Maybe all? [What...?] [.....] Only then did they realize. What was the purpose of the 15% stake in the final chapter, which was proposed to suspend service indefinitely as retaliation against the Japanese government in the past, and the fact that this situation was not just an ordinary happening. [Wait a minute. If so, what happens if no one breaks the final chapter?] A 15% stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd., which is nothing else and has never been released to the market. In response to Mikhail''s puzzled expression, who knew the meaning of handing it over, Minsu said as if it were natural. Then what... the game is ruined by Asura. as it were.... End of service? [.....] Billions of users gather together and can''t even block the final chapter, so then we''ll have to go bankrupt. Kim Min-soo, the craziest guy in the world. His vicious title was absolutely not a lie. Chapter 444 Chapter 444 Minsu Can''t Stop (2) Jack. In reality, he was hemiplegic, unable to move even one finger due to a congenital deformity, but in return, he had infinite imagination, so he was apletely different being from reality in this virtual world. He built all thews and rules he could imagine, and he could achieve anything he wanted, and everything he believed to be true was true and true. All-knowing and omnipotent... and a god-like being who created a world by himself. The dragons known as the guardians of Arcadia and feared. Even ancient deities, each with its own powerful divinity and deity. Jack, the strongest and highest-ranking being in this virtual world that no one dares to do anything about. However, there was only one existence that even he couldn''t do anything about in this virtual world. Now... lets see... how shall I start the scenario... Kim Min-soo is contemting something with a childlike smile as if he is finally ying with his cherished toy. . He is the core developer of Project Sixth Sense and Phenopsis Dream, which allowed him to create this world, and the father of virtual reality technology. If it was Jack who created the program called Arcadia, then Kim Min-soo made the hardware to run it, so these two had exactly half the influence of this world. As the creator and father of this world. Asura, the lord of the ck mist that wanders the void. That''s why Jack was deeply grateful to Minsu, a benefactor who saved him, who was nothing, but at the same time, he was the most ufortable and burdensome existence, so he often felt inexpressible contradictory feelings. Especially when she insists on injecting what she wants into Arcadia. What do you think Jack? How would you like to start an apocalypse scenario? Minsu whimpers as if seriously thinking about it and asks him toe up with an idea. To him like that, Jack said a little resolutely with golden eyes shining. Minsu, lets clear up one thing for now. hmm? what? First of all... I don''t agree with your idea of triggering the final chapter scenario now. However, as you said, it is true that you have the full authority to activate the scenario, so you cannot stop it. So, the moment Minsu first started to take an interest in Arcadia, President Lee Mi-yeon, who preemptively announced the facts rted to the final scenario to the world in preparation for this situation that could explode at any time. However, even the two did not predict that Minsu would dere the end of Arcadia so quickly. I won''t stop you, but everything will flow ording to the rules. Without any exceptions or arbitrary interpretations or judgments between the two of us, we are just epting things as they are, ording to Alice''s judgment. Um... so you''re saying we''re going to have Ellis as the referee and keep neither of us from doing weird tricks behind our backs? that''s right. If left alone, Minsu alwaysmits crazy things beyond imagination. Jack gave his opinion preemptively because he was well aware of his characteristics. And at such a suggestion, Minsu nodded his head coolly without much objection. What do you do? Alice, can I ask for a referee regarding this scenario? [Don''t worry, admin. We will handle everything ording to the given rules.] Artificial intelligence that judges everything fairly and fairly without being bound by any self-interest. At her reliable answer, Minsu nodded with a satisfied smile. okay. Then let''s have a little discussion. After that, the three started discussing a proper scenario. But with Jack, who wants to prevent the end of Arcadia. Minsu wants to have fun to the maximum by pushing the extreme difficulty level somehow. The two people who are dealing with this final scenario withpletely different purposes ran parallel lines of opinion for a long time without concessions. No, what are you going to do if everything goes wrong? Isnt that obvious? Well, it''s impossible to attack at all. If that''s the case, why don''t you simply destroy it by dropping a super-giant meteorite? oh? Is that a good idea? Can I do that? ...will it work? However, even after that, after a long time passed, an agreement on the final scenario was eventually drawn through Ellis'' mediation and some concessions from the exhausted two people. Then... do you agree now? Okay... lets do it like this. Minsu and Jack sit down with tired faces and sigh deeply. And the two soon began to sort out the issues they had agreed upon. third time. I can activate whatever I want only three times, right? On the condition that Ellis judge that the current situation is an attackable scenario. After each catastrophe, take a break of at least one week. I am entirely in charge of calctingpensation for clearing. Is that also being judged by Alice? of course. Minsu and Jack, who finally met the various conditions, joined hands after confirming that a finalpromise had been made. ...Please don''t let me perish. I don''t think it''s up to me. Anyway, I''ll try. Jack let out a deep sigh, his face trembling as if to stop talking. However, whether or not he knew his heart, Minsu said with a cheerful face as he moved his steps. Once were done talking, lets go eat. Eating here doesnt make you fat? Although he was like the father of virtual reality who created all of this, Minsu himself has never properly experienced virtual reality that everyone else does. At this ironic situation, and at the feeling of seeing a pure newbie who doesn''t know anything, Jack smiled and nodded. Yes..... It''s the end, it''s Nabal, let''s eat first. When they lightly flicked their fingers like that, the two of them moved to an old-fashioned restaurant in an instant. At first nce, the splendid interior and food prices seemed incredibly expensive, but Jack and Minsu didn''t care about anything and ordered all kinds of menus. oh? Drake tail steak? What is this? Is it delicious? Um... not bad. The meat is soft and juicy. okay? Then add this too. This and this... Oh, please give me this too. Eating for pleasure, not for survival. The two of them had a great time, forgetting the fierce debate until now, tasting the food made by a skilled chef with bizarre and mysterious ingredients that do not exist in reality. Hey..... This is a real restaurant, right? I don''t regret anything. yes? It''s a ce I go to sometimes too. It''s the best restaurant in Arcadia. okay? It looks like a ce where a lot of attention was paid. Min-su, who immediately agreed to the words of Jack, the creator, and eagerly tasted this and that. But suddenly at that moment. A te from the table between the two fell to the floor and shattered with a loud sound. Clink. Miss I..... An adventurer passed by the table where the two of them were eating. It was a situation where he identally bumped into a te protruding from the corner and identally fell, but the adventurer nced at Minsu and Jack, and soon after he looked very annoyed and cursed, and soon began to walk away without a word of apology. what....? A truly absurd situation. Min-soo, who looks like a human and has no manners, called the adventurer before Jack stopped him. Hey there, mister. If you drop someone else''s food, isn''t it normal to apologize first? How the hell did you get home schooling to act like that? Hey... hey! Jack is obviously taken aback by Minsu''s sudden behavior. That''s right, these two are just sitting in this restaurant as ordinary extra NPCs with no special features. Minsu''s actions were so outstanding because he was endowed with the minimum amount of activity to not respond to any stimulus unless it was a dire situation. However, before Jack could exin, the adventurer had already stopped and returned. He looked at Minsu, who called himself Mister, with a grim face and asked coldly. Did you just say that to me? of course. Then who else dropped the food here besides you? Min-soo blows a me pad lip while talking about home education. However, the opponent facing him was building a confused look. You bastard... what is it? Just a nothing NPC. However, seeing that he was acting like an adventurer in real life, he narrowed his eyes and asked if he felt something strange. But at that moment, someone who seemed to be his colleague approached with a grumbling voice mixed with annoyance. Oh, I''m busy, but you''re noting. What are you doing here? No, this NPC suddenly calls and starts a fight. what? What are you talking about? Shattered dishes and uneaten drake tail steaks rolling on the floor. Just looking at it, they could get a rough idea of what the situation was like, but from their point of view, they belonged to the Red g, an adventurer''s guild that held the real power of Erzel''s territory. Where do you take something that is nothing special? Do you even know who we are? Um... I dont know. You don''t know the Red Banner Guild? These bastards... what the hell are they doing? Are you a foreigner? Gerdel tilted his head and muttered with strange eyes. who is this? that is. Are they famous? Minsu asks Jack what the hell these guys are. But instead of Jack, who shrugged and said he didn''t know, Alice answered his question. [Overall ranking 37953 guild red g. It''s just a general regional minor guild.] An adventurer''s guild that''s only about the size of a local Toho faction. From the point of view of the NPCs living here, they would have been difficult to touch, but they did not make any impression on Minsu. what? Arent they nothing special? What... what...? Are these... NPCs? Is something strange? The two feel insulted and embarrassed at the same time in his pitiful gaze. Although they were obviously NPCs, they realized something was strange when they saw Minsu acting like a normal user. You idiot, why are you arguing with other users over nothing? You can just skip it. Watching their confrontation, Jack grunted with an expression as if his head hurt, and soon snapped his fingers lightly. Then, the te and steak, which had been smashed into pieces, were restored to their original state, as if time flowed in reverse. Arge te with a delicious steak steaming again. The two of them looked at the unbelievable scene and soon muttered to themselves with stupid expressions. What the hell is this... What are these guys...? Normal-looking NPCs. The text above the heads of these two also clearly showed that they were such beings. [Country trader Hans] [New adventurer Jack] Titles and names worn by mediocre NPCs that can be found in any town or city. However, at the reaction of the two, he asked again with a mischievous smile. Oh that? It''s camouge. Minsu, noticing that he was staring at his nickname, pointed his finger over their heads as if to ask them to double check. Woo woo woo. The text changes in real time. And seeing his true identity newly appearing, the two could not react at all. [Asura, owner of the ck mist] ...? ..... In a situation where no one would believe that they had a fight while eating, Asura, the fearsome being who would bring about the destruction of Arcadia, first appeared in Arcadia. While talking nonsense about giving character education to two spoiled users. Chapter 445 Chapter 445 Minsu can''t stop (3) Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. She was having a harder time than ever because of the unteral decisions she couldn''t even make. What the hell are you talking about? Doomsday scenario? You''re not joking, are you really? Are you really crazy right now? After the apocalypse scenario was initiated by Ellis, when rted information began to spread internally, the entirepany began to make noise as if a nuclear bomb had exploded. [General Manager Lee Mi-yeon, regarding the promotion of the scenario, we cannot agree at all.] Boss, no matter how you think about it, this is not the case. No matter how much it is decided by the board of directors, it is clear that this must be prevented as a representative. Hey did you hear that? I heard that ourpany will close soon? Eh? what bullshit is that? that? Really. All of the department heads above said they were looking for new positions and went crazy. The presidents in charge of branches around the world, executives, and working-level staff at each department head and manager were raising their voices of opposition by blowing bubbles and rushing in droves, and rumors spread that thepany would go bankrupt or close down among ordinary employees who knew nothing about it. started to spread It was literally five minutes before the opening. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon could not properly manage the atmosphere of thepany. Because, strictly speaking, nothing they said was wrong. Haa..... President Lee Mi-yeon sighed deeply as she sat alone in the office. She was very confused as she had just thrown out executive director Kwon Myeong-han, who had just been begging her to stop doing crazy things. [Psychological instability is being detected. Shall I y some music?] Alice talks to her. Then, Lee Mi-yeon, the CEO, replied with a clear expression of tiredness on her face. okay. y one with some peaceful music. [Okay.] After a short answer, beautiful music sounds. It was music that would make you feel at ease in a normal day, but CEO Lee Mi-yeon gave up after a short effort and said. Just turn it off, Alice. [Okay.] At that, AI Alice immediately stopped the music. President Lee Mi-yeon sat quietly in the quiet office, thought about something for a moment, and then asked her again. Ellis, did you talk about what to do with the scenario? [What do you mean?] The details. It hasn''t been discussed yet. How did that go? The end scenario of the final chapter that Minsu triggered at will. However, it only meant the advent of Asura, and nothing had been decided regarding the exact way to proceed, so President Lee Mi-yeon was experiencing great difficulties whenever she dealt with employees. I also have to be able to persuade or exin anything to my employees. You can''t just wait forever in a situation where you don''t know what to do. Especially when dealing with Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who keeps nagging me like a ghost whenever he leaves this damn office. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon insists on doing whatever he wants to be the president even though he is in a situation where he can''t do anything about it. It was a situation where I was very annoyed by his excessive reaction, but that said, President Lee Mi-yeon could not say anything to him. He would be like that too..... No, if you''re going to do that, don''t just tell me to activate the scenario. Why did you only reveal the title of the scenario? Everyone misunderstands that the game is ruined because there is no information and only the title of the end is attached. The end of the final chapter. Employees for whom no information was provided other than that short name. As a result, all kinds of spection and false rumors were being expanded and reproduced, and it was not strange that the executive director, Myung-han Kwon, and the presidents rebelled and ran to this extent. [There was a lot of disagreement between the top developer and the top manager regarding the scenario, so a long discussion took ce.] I guess so. Because the person who hates what Minsu is about to do is Jack himself. Minsu tries to destroy the world he has worked so hard for just for fun. President Lee Mi-yeon nodded her head slightly as she remembered Jack, who was struggling to stop him. [But fortunately, we havee to an agreement on all issues. The details of the exact scenario are undecided, but the rough framework and rules have all been established.] Really...? Please tell me more. President Lee Mi-yeon''s eyes light up at the word that the picture has been drawn to some extent. Then, with a pretty serious face, she began to analyze what Alice said about their agreement. So.... The end scenario is going to be divided into three parts, but the difficulty is limited to the level that can be attacked in the current Arcadia situation, right? [That''s right.] Hmm... It''s good that you judge the level yourself... In the end, it means that you focus more on whether or not you can clear the game rather than your overall ability. [Is there a problem?] When Elise asked back at President Lee Mi-yeon''s dissatisfied response, she said with a frown. Then its obvious that public opinion, which has already deteriorated, will get worse. A few very few users will only be active, and the rest will not do anything and just be swept away by that huge scenario. Buzzwords that are a hot topic among users in the current continent of Arcadia. Only those who will be, and those who will not. The hidden ss eats it all up. If you don''t have money, you can''t do anything without items. Unlike the past, when it was praised as humanity''s first virtual reality and God Game that will never happen again, Arcadia has be a full-fledged dog and pig game and is eating up all the arrogance and insults. And the most effective reason for this criticism was that itpletely failed to bnce the overall power. The difficulty of the main scenarios itself is so vicious that most of the current users don''t even dare to challenge it. The public sentiment is also in a bad state because of the scenario of the 2nd Holy Magic War, but here we proceed to the end scenario? Its crazy for users. President Lee Mi-yeon points out the realistic problems Arcadia is facing as a management team. However, to Alice, the dissatisfaction and annoyance of such users were not the subject of any consideration. [Still, I can''t help it. Considering the overall level of users, nothing could end up being a disaster.] Alice didn''t care about theirints and whining. There was only one thing that mattered to her. [In Arcadia''s current situation, there is definitely a strategy, but it will be a disaster that boasts the highest level of difficulty possible at a level that the top manager can enjoy as much as possible.] ...Really, even you can''t stop it . [Do not worry. Reflecting the chief developer''s will, the worst case scenario of Arcadia''s destruction will proceed to a level where it will not happen.] Alice engages in a subtle tug-of-war between Minsu and Jack. President Lee Mi-yeon, who had been talking with her since then, tilted her head at Alice''s strange behavior when she suddenly stopped talking. what''s the matter? Alice? Any problem? [I think it would be better for the manager to see it for himself.] What...? The screen turns on without saying anything. And looking at a restaurant in Arcadia that appeared in it, President Lee Mi-yeon couldn''t help but be embarrassed. Are those two...? What were you doing over there? [They were in the middle of having a meal after finishing the agreement.] The two users had already copsed and turned gray. However, CEO Lee Mi-yeon couldn''t help but sigh as she saw dozens of people who appeared to be their colleagues and the text written on the head of the character presumed to be Min-su. Now... are you saying you want to appear openly like this? already? Asura, the master of the ck Mist. The one who destroyed the golden age of this world in the past and destroyed countless gods and civilizations, and who will reappear in Arcadia in the future and bring destruction to all. The fact that a person with such an enormous prestige showed up at a restaurant on the continent of Arcadia and got into a fight was nothing short of aedy. At that scene, President Lee Mi-yeon was making an absurd expression, then Alice said. [Switch to cinematic mode. Arcadia''s all time freeze.] What...? Suddenly what cinematic is cinematic? Nothing like that was prepared in the first ce... An undecided scenario with nothing prepared. However, seeing Alice suddenly stopping all time in Arcadia, CEO Lee Mi-yeon questioned something, but before she finished speaking, the cinematic video that was supposed to be being broadcast to everyone began to appear to her as well. [Hello, all adventurers of Arcadia. I am Asura, the owner of the ck Mist.] Contrary to the prestige of being called Asura, Minsu greets me very politely. Unlike his appearance, he had the appearance of a neat young man, but even in his face, President Lee Mi-yeon could clearly sense his madness. [Otherwise.... He is also called the top manager who was greatly involved in making this world.] This crazy... Asura reveals that he is the core developer who created this world, not the existing settings. And then he was clearly dering to everyone. [Well... I could tell you a lot of stories, but since everyone is busy, I''ll just tell you the conclusion. From the time I first conceived this game, the ending of this game was actually decided.] Destruction. Such a tragic ending where everyone faces the end of a mighty being that no one can touch. Deus Ex Machina. Min-soo is talking about his nning intention after stopping all the time in Arcadia. President Lee Mi-yeon just stared nkly at him with a stupid expression on his face. [Actually, the life of the game is over, but I thought about it after seeing some games that dragged on and sucked the sweet water, but the scenarios were exhausted too quickly, so this happened? Whatever it is, it''s a scenario that I created once, so I can''t discard it... So I decided to go ahead. Wouldn''t it be possible to do something without facing an end under infinite freedom and infinite possibilities?] Minsu casts Amng over what he has done with his own will. And he was speaking heartily to all who would be watching his promation. [I will never appear again in the form of this Asura. After this notice, Asura''s AI will start to move. However, I sincerely hope that adventurers will thwart my evil and heinous n. If it fails, many people, including me, will be unemployed that day.] As he indirectly warned that the service would end, he smiled his signature madness. [During the final chapter scenario, all processes will be measured by contribution, and a 15% stake in Arcadia will be paid to one person with the highest contribution. A perfect 15% stake with perfect tax processing.] [I hope all of you can be the main characters of that 15% and be the owners of Arcadia Co., Ltd.] Holding a carrot that no one can refuse, waving it in your hand I mean. Chapter 446 Chapter 446 Minsu Can''t Stop (4) Hey, did you all watch that video? What is that Asura or what video? Isnt that really crazy? The title of the scenario is the end. I think its true that hes the worlds best at running games like shit. Minsu''s deration that struck the world. As a result, people were talking about this and talking loudly in all ces, both on the Inte and in reality, but it was especially severe in the case of students of Seomin University''s Department of Virtual Reality Engineering. Isnt this really going to blow up thepany? Oh, can that be? How many businesses are you running all over the world right now? that''s right. don''t talk nonsense If Arcadia goes bankrupt, we will all be unemployed. A final scene scenario that may decide the fate of thepany. Although it was not clearly stated, it left enough room for the worst situation they imagined to happen, so those who have studied only virtual reality for more than 3 years have no choice but to feel especially anxious. Rather than that... who the hell is that? A top manager? A being who identified himself as Asura, the owner of the ck Mist, and a key participant in the creation of Arcadia and virtual reality. When the official position of Arcadia Co., Ltd. was announced regarding the story he mentioned, the whole world fell into a great shock again. [There are people who have developed core technologies and programs needed to build a virtual reality system, including Arcadia. And they offered some specific conditions in exchange for cooperation with ourpany... namely Arcadia. This final scenario is one of those conditions.] [In principle, all of Arcadia''s executives and employees, including myself, strongly oppose the scenario, and we officially announce it here and now. However, since no one has the authority to prevent this scenario created by this core developer, there is no way for us to do it either.] Confessions of general manager Lee Mi-yeon. Everyone was astonished at the fact that thepany''s control system waspletely out of control, and at the same time, by a few developers who did not know who the product of this ultra-futuristic scientific technology that was ahead of at least a century was I opened my mouth at the fact that I was born. [All I can tell you is that in order to save this beautiful fantasy world, the scenario that will start this time must be prevented. And aspensation, I will confirm once again that it is also true that you will receive a 15% share of Arcadia Co., Ltd.] The actual owner of this Arcadia. Corporation Argos. Silicoff Bio Industries. Ajin Electronics. The news that as much as 15% of Arcadia''s shares, which have never been released to the market in the solid equity structurepletely owned and controlled by these threepanies, may be released, literally made the world''s financial world in a feverish desire. eyes turned upside down - The goose thatys the golden eggs. Who is the main character of Arcadia''s shares? -Formation of a consortium for the final chapter of Arcadia, arge US financialpany. - The situation in virtual reality that is tied to modern financial capital. Will the war of money begin? - Hedge funds jumping into virtual reality. The most important point is the supply of manpower. Every singlepany orpany... Even a country is paying attention to this situation happening in the world of Arcadia and jumping in one after another. It was unbelievable that it was happening with just one game, but the situation was getting bigger and bigger, but Jaeyoung''s expression as he looked at it all was indifferent. Hey Jaeyoung... Why? Jae-kyun, who had been watching from a while ago. When he carefully spoke out, Jaeyoung immediately answered without even listening to his question. Ill tell you in advance, if you want to ask me anything about this final chapter, just dont do it. Because I don''t know anything about it. Is that so? Oh, I see. Jae-kyun keeps his mouth shut with a slightly embarrassed expression at Jae-young''s determined reaction. But even after that, he continued to mumble and asked again if he could not stand it. Th... Then, are you nning to stop the final chapter? Why the hell are you curious about that? No... I''m a little nervous too. There are not just one or two projects in progress, but everyone is in a very ugly atmosphere because of rumors that thepany itself may suddenly close down and the virtual reality service may end... just in case... Arcadia Co., Ltd. As a special schrship student and frencer, Jae-kyun is participating in projects of world-renownedpanies and government agencies. As a genius creator, who has enjoyed tremendous poprity, earned astronomical profits, and gained wealth and honor in one hand, he feels a lot of anxiety about the fact that a huge crisis hase to the virtual reality industry, which is his lifeline and source. there was. ....I do not know either. Lets take a look at the situation and decide. Yes....? What do you mean? Jae-kyun is surprised by Jae-young''s ambiguous answer and asks back. However, Jaeyoung grumbled in a voice mixed with annoyance, showing an ufortable expression without adding or subtracting. I dont know why they keep ying with people like this... but I have no intention of putting the rhythm to these ridiculous pranks. ...? Jaekyun, who did not understand the meaning of Jaeyoung''s words, put on a stupid expression and tilted his head, but he couldn''t bear to ask him, who seemed to be in a bad mood. That Asura... was the one who created my job.'' Asura, the master of the ck Mist. Looking at his tone and behavior, who identified himself as the top manager, Jaeyoung was convinced. The one who enjoys being messed up more than anyone else in Arcadia. Thinking back on the message he whispered when he transferred himself to the fraudulent job of a wanderer in this turbulent world, it was clear that he was enjoying himself watching other users, including himself, struggle in the game from somewhere. Who the hell is this..... The identity of the top developer that President Lee Mi-yeon had mentioned to him. Although he had never mentioned any information rted to him, strangely, for some reason, Jaeyoung had a strange feeling that he had already met him. Who is it... After that, Jaeyoung pondered and pondered alone for a long time. About the story that will happen in Arcadia in the future and how to respond in that story. * * * Nannannan~. I really like you~ Ttorai~ Mong. Minsu is humming a strange song and tapping the keyboard with his fingers busy. And on his desk, there were a bunch of cans of hot chocte that he had already drank. [What on earth are you working so hard on...?] Jack suddenly jumped out of the monitor screen. And he looked at Minsu, who seemed to have stayed up all night with an absurd look, and asked. Whatever I do, of course, I had an idea to create a perfect scenario. [What is it..... have you already made up a scenario about the end or something?] Not all of them... First of all, roughly. Minsu smiles with a satisfied smile. Jack, who suddenly felt a sense of fear at his mad smile, spoke urgently. [Show me.] Wait a minute..... Ellis, can you send some to Jack, the file you just worked on? [Okay..... Data transmissionplete.] Minsu''s first disaster immediately appeared before Jack''s eyes. And Jack''s expression after confirming the contents changed moment by moment. [Is this possible?] All reviews have already beenpleted. You don''t need to specially conceive or pay attention to production, and since it''s a scenario that uses content from the game that was already hidden, Alice said there''s nothing particrly problematic about it. All strategy already exists inside Arcadia. [I said it was possible, but I didn''t say it wouldn''t be a problem, Manager.] Ellis promptly corrects him. But Minsu smiled and smirked as if that was it. Anyway, you said you could proceed ording to this scenario. [There are concerns in many areas when considering the overall capabilities of users, but it is possible if judged ording to the agreed standard.] Then, that''s it. Anyway, this is the end of the first scenario idea! Minsu jumps up from his seat and stretches with a happy face as if everything is okay. However, unlike him who was full of reward that he had finished the work he had to do all night, Jack''s expression was literally pale. [Hey... Hey! This is honestly a bit harsh.] Huh? What''s so bad? [No, forced to activate the second half crisis? Not just one, but five at the same time...! Did you forget that each of these second-half crisis scenarios is a catastrophe that is close to destruction?] A madman who wants to set off five disasters that have already been hidden like time bombs at the same time, saying that they are one disaster. It felt like a trick to prank everyone at the level of a pun, but Minsu didn''t agree with Jack''s idea. Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy, the numbers are still serious. The number of users alone exceeds billions, and if you consider the power of normal NPCs, that number is more than double, but this is enough. [No matter how much it is..... This is.....] Jack is making a confused expression, as if he doesn''t even know how to convince the world''s greatest madman. However, Alice told him not to worry too much. [Don''t worry, admin. We n to adjust the level of difficulty to some extent before starting the scenario.] [Really?] What? Where is that? Jack is delighted at the idea of lowering the level of difficulty, and Minsu is repulsed. Despite thepletely opposite reactions of the two, Ellis answered with a slightly firm tone. [Crisis scenarios in thetter half are forcibly triggered through the administrator''s ex officio, not due process and procedure. It is considered a natural measure to impose some penalties for opening scenarios that do not satisfy the essential conditions.] [That''s right! that''s right! Of course you should!] Jack agrees with Alice''s support shot. At the attack of the two, Min-soo frowned, unable to find any grounds for rebuttal, but epted it. Hmm... well, I dont like it, but Alice, if you say that, I get it. [Approximately 2 days are required to proceed with the rted work.] Two days... not bad. [So soon...?] Minsu wants to see the start of the scenario as soon as possible, and Jack wants to dy this situation as much as possible. Looking at Jack, who seemed to be standing in theplete opposite of him, Minsu gave a strangely yful smile and said with emphasis as if to listen. Take care of it as quickly as possible and start the scenario. I want to have all the fun quickly before Eugenees to Korea to catch me. [All right. I''ll work on it as a top priority.] In the past, Min-soo nned it himself and put it into the game, arrogantly asking Jack to implement it. Each one was a huge disaster and disaster for the entire continent of Arcadia, and those seeds that were dormant in an unknown ce were forcibly trying to germinate in this Arcadia. [Apocalypse Project No. 1.] [Giant disaster sweeping over the continent.] As the first disaster of Asura. Chapter 447 Arcadia, a huge continent united around the first end world tree. This enormous continent boasted an enormous areaparable to the real earth, and countless countries and cities were built on it, and their own civilization was blossoming. Hmm... I heard that the specialty products of the Piville estate that came in this time are sold at an exorbitant price. For the glory of the Empire! Be loyal to His Majesty the King with all your life! Above all, the most important thing is internal affairs. Everyone should do their best so that all people can enjoy abundance without starving. From city-states specialized inmerce to warlike empires of conquest with mighty military force, to small kingdoms focused only on domestic affairs in pursuit of peace. Non-humans, including countries with their own unique characteristics, were also building their own civilizations. Chwiik. I''m hungry. Lets go find something to eat. Kiyi! Hee hee hee! Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Even monsters such as goblins and orcs that live in groups form their own tribes and develop a primitive and barbaric civilization in Arcadia. This mysterious fantasy world where each continent creates its own story and many stories are hidden. And between those stories, so deadly and dangerous... rice cakes like nuclear bombs were sleeping in unknown ces all over the continent. Grandpa yi~~! A cute little boy. A blue-haired boy who looked like he was only about 6 years old came running screaming as if he was happy to see him, but the person who greeted him was far from an ordinary grandfather. [...What brought you here, Perian?] A being who asks with a sad look as if it''s annoying. Unlike him, who took the form of a small child, Freud, an ancient blue dragon, boasts a massive body reaching hundreds of meters. Among the remaining blue dragons, he is the strongest and belongs to the elder ss. He was not very happy with Peran, who suddenly appeared without warning. [Go back. This is not a ce to visit recklessly.] A stern order full of the infinite mana umted in his heart over 9,000 years. But to Hetzling, an ignorant immature man who had just lived 600 years of age, his words did not go unnoticed. Huh... But Im bored. I won''t get into trouble, so can we hang out here for a while? yes? Peran, who puts on a sullen expression as much as possible and swears at him, his grandfather. I don''t know if it''s anyone else, but Freud pondered for a moment about his cuteness overflowing from his whole body just after he was born. Really... he''s a bold guy.'' Peran doesn''t seem to have any concept, probably because he''s just been born. However, Freud did not be very angry with this immature rudeness. That would also be the case..... Rather, it worked out. It''s boring anyway, because it was the same here.'' It was because he was in the same situation that he himself could not bear the boredom and boredom. [....good night. However, it is not allowed to get out of my sight and wander around other ces.] Peran, who was delighted with his permission and smiled with an excited face, replied in a loud voice. Hi-Hi! yes! Then he sat down on the floor and started chattering about all sorts of misceneous things. Perian suddenly asked a question to Freud, who was smiling happily as he watched his tricks. By the way, Grandpa and Grandpa, why the hell are you guarding here? [You mean here?] Yes. When I asked before, no one answered. Everyone was quiet, but what the hell is this ce, why are the ns taking turns guarding it? A huge cavity blocked on all sides by rocks. However, the extremelyplex and geometric shape of the magic circle drawn on one side of the wall was emitting a soft glow, as if proving that this ce was unusual. [Yeah.... It''s a story you''ll find outter anyway, but there''s nothing wrong with knowing it in advance.] The story should have been told only after he ate 1000 years old and got rid of the hetzlingbel. Although he was still at an early age, Freud told him the story of this ce, which was guarded by the heads of each n, including himself, to him, who was full of curiosity. [The moment of creation when this world was born in the very distant past. My father created our dragon n and gave it a mission to protect this beautiful Arcadia. You must be familiar with the contents of that, right?] Yes. of course. [Yes..... But not all of us obeyed our father''s orders well.] Yes...? What do you mean? An absolutew andw that no one can ever go against. mission. Peran opened his eyes wide as if he was startled at the fact that there was someone who had vited the mission that even the Dragon Lord, who had great power and special powers, could not fall for. [There was a n thatmitted atrocities in refusing the mission given to them by their father, and when that wasn''t enough, they murdered other ns... and even took the life of the Dragon Lord. It''s the ck n.....] The Dragon n, which has the attributes of various elements. Each n was identified by its own color, but none of them were ck. That ..... The dragon kills the dragon. Even so, since the poption is extremely small, even if there are quarrels between each other, acts that cause serious harm or take lives are strictly prohibited. He wore a tired expression. [Don''t worry too much. Because all of the ck n, which earned my father''s wrath for that, became extinct.] Whew... that''s really fortunate. Like a young Hetzling, Perann is listening to Freud''s story with various reactions at every moment. He muttered with a sigh of relief that the fearsome ck n no longer existed. [Except for one being...] Yes...? What do you mean Grandpa? Peran''s face hardened again in an instant. However, unlike before, Freud spoke to him with a somewhat solemn and serious face. [The head who led the ck Dragon n and the founder of the ck n, who was created by his father himself in the beginning. The first to abandon his mission as the guardian of Arcadia and rebel against his great father, the first to kill his own people and the dragon yer who killed the Dragon Lord... Declen.] [The unforgivable sin To Ji-eun, his father did not give him the rest of death. He punished him to repent of his sins in the near-eternal flow of time and sealed him in this eternally cursednd''.] [Since then, the heads of all the ns have been guarding this ce in rotation every 200 years . . In order to protect the seal that my father put, and to block any possibility so that the evil being neveres back to this Arcadia.] [That is the duty of our dragon n, the head of each n, who carries out the mission of protecting this Arcadia. It is a sacred duty shouldered by the supreme elders in charge of It''s not right now, but it''s a heavy task that one day you, too, will have to take on as a member of the Blue n.] For Hetzling, who is still just a baby, it''s a far-off story. However, Peran''s eyes were brighter than ever when he heard the story of the dragon n''s embarrassing story that no one would tell, and the holy and sacred duty his grandfather was carrying out. Youre amazing, Grandpa! [...It''s not such a big deal.] No. You were doing such a great job. I had no idea. Grandpa is the best! Peran, who exalted himself excessively and gave all sorts ofpliments. In the midst of talking about Doran, showing a shy reaction to his reaction, Peran suddenly asked with a worried face. But will this seal never break? [No one knows for sure. In certain circumstances, we are only maintaining the current state because it can be a threat to the seal for reasons we do not know. However, since it is a seal that the omnipotent father was directly involved in, there is no reason to worry about such a situation...] A seal that has withstood the eternity of time from the beginning to the present without any problems. Therefore, Freud, who had been talking confidently, dismissing Perian''s innocent question as unnecessary worry, suddenly stopped talking. Woo woo woo woo. A sudden change. Along with a strange resonant sound, the power of the seal, which had always been constant without a single change until now, began to fluctuate like crazy. [What the hell is this...] Freud stared at the seal he had kept with a stiff face. And seeing him like that, Peran called him with a face that didn''t know why. Ha grandpa...? and that moment. The world of Arcadia, which they are unaware of, is now beginning to enforce apulsory narrative under themand of a transcendent being out of order. [Later Crisis Scenario Dragon''s Fury. Coercive activation protocol activated.] Kuuuung. An intense roar resounding from the abyss far away. An intense vibration began to spread out with a deafening sound, as if something was knocking on the door. [Disable all conditions required to activate the scenario. Rted quests are collectively deleted.] Originally, numerous stories rted to dragons were added to each other, and among the countless options, the difficult conditions required to unlock the seals had to be met with extremely low odds and extreme difficulty. All of them were released under the authority of the top manager, and the dangerous seal that had existed from the beginning was forcibly released. [Seal release. Liberation of the kind predator''.] Quaaaaaang. Ha grandpa! The seal suddenly burst. In an instant, the solid rock wall copsed, revealing a huge hole hidden behind it. However, despite Perian''s cry, Freud did not even respond. I was just nkly staring nkly at the empty scene where the seal that had existed since the beginning of time and that the dragon n, including him, had kept until now had been broken. And... that moment. In the pitch-ck darkness, a gigantic reptilian hand with sharp ws and shiny ck scales like obsidian flew out and grabbed Freud by the scruff of his neck. [You''re... a member of the smug blue n.] Those yellow, vertically-slit eyes that glow in the dark. Seeing those eyes filled with murder and madness, Freud felt fear as if his heart stopped for a moment, despite the transcendent mental power he had trained over thousands of years. [I can''t let go of this!] However, as the head of the Blue n, the Ancient Dragon, the strongest being in Arcadia, began to resist. Koo Goo Goo Pce. Perong. The magic of the 9th circle activated in an instant. Despite the powerful attacks that each one could destroy a nation in an instant, Declen, who was freed from the seal, let go of Freud''s throat as if he had not received any blows. [Funny, decrepit old dragon.] Muttering in a mocking tone, he turned to Freud as if asking a question. [In this false world, do you still be a toy for those who call themselves gods and ask for ves?] Peruk. Freud was pierced through the chest with the other hand with a dull plosive sound. And then, thrown away before anyone could react, he looked up in disbelief at the worst being holding his blue heart in one hand. [This can''t happen...] [Don''t worry. Starting with you, I will put an end to this miserable fate so that you and everyone else do not be toys in this twisted world.] Sigh. Declen chews on Freud''s heart with a grotesque noise. And he looked down at Freud, the head of the blue dragon n, who was turning gray, and coldly muttered his sole purpose. [Be freed forever in the rest of death,rade. I will take everyone''s life with my own hands so that all of my people will not be humiliated in this world full of lies and illusions.] So, somewhere on the outskirts of the unified continent of Arcadia, a huge The narrative forced the story to begin. The story of the release of the dragon that wants the death of all dragons and the end of this world. And that was... just the beginning of a great whirlpool of chaos that drove all of Arcadia mad.... Chapter 448 Chapter 448: Choose Carefully, Late Crisis Scenario Dragon''s Rage. The ck dragon, Declen, who was forcibly awakened from the seal while ignoring all trigger conditions previously set by Ellis. The head of the extinct ck dragon n and the progenitor of all dragons that have existed since the beginning of time, he carefully checked his body condition with the corpses of his fellow tribesmen covered in blood. [Is it because it''s been so long? The mana is very unstable.] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. An intense wave of mana seething from his heart. Its power was so great that even the Dragon Lord could not dare to deal with it, but he was not satisfied with that mighty power, and he felt like he was being thirsty. And suddenly, he looked down at the small blue jewel in his hand. [Is it because he''s less than a thousand years old... I didn''t expect much, but he''s so weak.] Hetzling''s heart is so insignificantpared to the old dragon-ss dragon he absorbed earlier. However, as he had just woken up from his seal, he was in no position to argue about hot or cold food, so Declen licked his lips and swallowed the young Hetzling''s heart in one bite. enemy. enemy. A blue dragon heart that disappears in an instant. He smiled strangely as he felt the energy in his body filling up even a little while devouring the hearts of his people. [But... the taste itself is a delicacy. After all, he is on a different level from the heart of the old guys.] While eating the hearts of his younger brothers and heartily enjoying the delicacies, he soon spread his huge wings, leaving behind the corpses of the two dragons with huge holes in their chests. Quaang. He flies through the sky with his huge body reaching the size of a small mountain range. Feeling a moment of freedom he hadn''t felt in a long time, he looked down at the endlessnd of Arcadia from the lofty sky. Then he looked up at the sky, where ominous void energy surged through the terribly torn dimensional walls. And he murmured, radiating intense hatred and disgust all over his body. [It''s still the same as treating everyone as toys in this false world.] Declen muttered while ring at the sky as if asking someone to listen. And he then began to express his will intensely. [I won''t y around with your tricks anymore.] Kuung. The one who stakes his all and deres to this world. [You are not a god.] He was created by his father and was only a member and NPC belonging to the virtual world of Arcadia, but he was clearly aware of the reality of this world. [Everything that lives and breathes in this world is just a ve.] So he abandoned his mission in the past and rebelled against the world as a whole. [My noble fellow countrymen and those ignorant, ignorant and pitiful people who live without knowing anything in your lies... I will liberate them all... ] Residents of Arcadia who live without knowing anything. Declen took a deep breath as he intensely remembered his oath to free all those who were merely ythings by dying. Woo woo woo woo. Declen, the transcendental species and the origin of dragons, was created by Jack, who had existed since the beginning of time. Waves of mana that resonate and amplify madly from his heart, the most powerful magical organ of all. And when the vibration of that huge magical energy stopped, a huge ck ray of light began to be projected towards thend of Arcadia. [By dying.] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The power of Arcadia''s guardians and transcendent dragons. Dragon Breath. The powerful secret technique of being able to bring a nation to the point of destruction with a single blow waspletely different from that of other dragons, as it was a crisis in thetter half that would lead to the end of the world. Woo woo woo. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa. The hard earth is overturned and the endless sea rises high into the sky. Dozens of cities and hundreds of viges along the way evaporated without a trace, and a huge, monstrous ck line was drawn dividing the vast continent of Arcadia. Declen killed at least millions of people in one moment. He looked up at the sky and growled, as if to keep an eye on himself. [You can''t stop me, Father''.] So Declen announced his splendid return to the continent of Arcadia and disappeared somewhere in the sky. As an apocalyptic trumpeter who devours the hearts of all his people and annihtes the most powerful guardians that sustain this world. He is the only NPC who recognizes that this world is a false world. as an enlightened one. * * * Aww... What the hell happened? what! Where the hell did the attacke from? I cant believe it..... What kind of attack is this... Cities that barely passed the attack outside the damage range. After that, the storm alone took a huge hit, almost half a wave, but those who survived swallowed their saliva at the sight unfolding before their eyes. A ck me that stretches endlessly beyond the horizon. That time, when everyone is looking at the aftermath of destruction with bewildered faces in the foul smell of magic, which seems to burn everything even after a long time has passed. A window popped up in front of everyone, giving information about the situation. [The end of the final scenario has begun.] [No. 1 Huge disaster flooding the continent] A huge disaster...? Has the final chapter finally begun...? Arcadia''s Last Scenario Apocalypse Project. In the cinematic, there were several people whose eyes lit up as they read the message, probably because of what the top manager proudly dered in front of everyone. [All actions of the yer during the scenario are converted into contributions.] [Acquired contributions may vary depending on the degree of influence.] [Various rewards can be obtained through contributions.] Contribution - 0 highest A window called Contribution that the admin mentioned. It''s still 0, but everyone knows that 15% of Arcadia''s shares go to the person who umted the most, so each user''s face began to have a lot of bloated dreams. If I umte this contribution, can I be the major shareholder of Arcadia? you? Really, that''s rare bullshit. You never know. This dung mangem is a lucky X mangem. Arcadia, where a miracle can happen with a clue or an item identally encountered. That''s why the petit bourgeois user Doenbibimbap, who is barely equipped with a mediocre rare item at an ordinary level, did not lose that tiny bit of hope and told his friend. How am I? You can break the scenario with an item you identally picked up and win first ce. okay. If you really do, I will be your dog for the rest of my life. Really? uh? Arent you going to talkter? Doenbibimbap waited for the details of the scenario with a face full of expectations with a friend while having childish conversations. However, when they saw the quest window that popped up shortly after, the two of them could not help but be at a loss for words. [You can choose one of the five disasters.] [You cannot participate in attacking other disasters except the selected one.] [ Once a decision is made, it cannot be changed or reversed.] [Please choose carefully.] Simultaneous The five catastrophes that started at random. They had to be careful with the fact that they could choose only one of them and try to attack, and that the choice could not be undone. But... This crazy... What is this? Is this a true story now? [East. ?????] [West. ?????] [North. ?????] [South. ?????] [Center. ?????] Five catastrophes starting from all over the unified continent of Arcadia. However, the two made absurd expressions as they looked at the selection window where everything was marked with question marks as if it were censorship. No... what and how are you going to choose? I see... this is all I can say to take a picture. The two looked around the selection window with an expression of absurdity. However, Doenbibimbap, which soon found something, shouted with a bright face. uh! Still, you can check the clear conditions. what? how? Clear conditions for each quest that emerges in a small window. Although it was not possible to obtain urate information, at least the conditions were all simple. - Defeat Leviathan. - Chimera Queen position. - Remove the source of the gue. - Defeat the Blood Emperor. -Kill Declin. The conditions are to kill the unheard of without any information or clues. So, they had no choice but to worry about the choice. Um... what should I do? Yeah..... Looking at it this way, I can''t get a sense of it at all... Just all the disasters that seemed to be rted to the battle. So, after thinking for a while, Doenbibimbap looked at his friend who seemed to be thinking deeply about something and said. Why dont we just choose the one closest to us? If it''s the closest one... the one here in the central continent? uh. If you try to move to another area anyway, it will take at least a week. Since the mage tower was all destroyed, warp gates are also very ambiguous these days. Unlike other games, Arcadia''s system requires a lot of time and money to move. He didn''t want to put in that much effort in the absence of certain information, so he fervently persuaded his friend by spitting. Even if you go to an area where another country is the base, its difficult to perform properly. I''m sure he''ll do all sorts of territorial things, and most of them are areas he doesn''t even know much about. I dont know what it is, but wouldnt it be better to start from the center of our Nawabari people? Hmm..... That also makes sense in its own way, but... Anyway, going to a ce full of users from other countries is not going to be treated well. Especially when such a superrge scenario was in progress, it was clear that the atmosphere would be even more chaotic, so my friend nodded in agreement and muttered. By the way... what the hell is Declen? It''s the first time I''ve heard of it... Do you know me? Doenbibimbap shrugs and asks back at his friend''s words. However, he spoke with a boast of a strange surge of confidence. Still, don''t you think it''s easier than the others? What''s Declen''s name? Declen. Unlike the names of other regions that seem usible and super powerful, such as Leviathan Chimera Queen Blood Emperor, it''s just a in name. Doenbibimbap and his friend ended up making a choice for this final scenario without any prior research, foolishly and clumsily. [You have selected the Central Continent.] [Details of the scenario have been revealed.] [Please check the relevant information.] The details revealed only after you made your selection. And they froze as soon as they saw the title of the scenario. Oh my gosh..... ...hey what is this? [Dragon''s Rage] Dragon. Dragon. A scenario rted to these transcendent species of Arcadia and the strongest race in the world... After confirming the content to kill Decklin, the strongest and worst ck dragon that existed from the beginning, the two realized. The fact that they will not make any meaningful contribution in this final chapter. And..... This game is, of course, a shit mangem like X. Chapter 449 Chapter 449 Quick exit Pangea, the unified continent of Arcadia. Five catastrophes started simultaneously from all sides of the vast, endless continent. In the name of the so-calledte stage crisis, when those who had been asleep as a deadly and serious threat leading to destruction of the entire continent suddenly appeared and began to act, tremendous chaos began to take ce all over the ce. [Stop it..... Help me...] [Nonsense! What the hell are these... what are these monsters!] [We... are all going to die.] Countless lives everywhere, in all directions, despaired before a huge disaster that they could not dare to bear, and died miserably. it started. [Ah ..... God!] [Please! please! Please save us.] The inhabitants of Arcadia are perishing, earnestly shouting for God''s salvation. Although it is data and virtual images made of 0 and 1, their deaths came more heartbreaking than anyone else to Jack, the creator who created everything himself. [Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasas.....] Jackmented his situation of having to watch the world he worked so hard for copse in an instant and rapidly, unable to do anything and just watch it. . He gritted his teeth as he watched the existence of fivete-stage crisis scenarios running amok beyond his control. [I have to do it in moderation, but all of them are close to impossible to capture.] Four disasters appearing from all directions andpletely devastating the surrounding area and area. Taking a look at their strength and terrifying settings one by one, Jack let out a deep sigh. East. Leviathan, a mythical monster who slept in the deep abyss of the endless sea. West. Queen, the lord of the Chimeras, a group of races with rapid mutations and strong biological characteristics. North. An outbreak of a gue that cannot be cured by any medicine or recovery magic. South. The liberation of the Blood Emperor, the emperor of the vampire n, an ancient race that indulge in blood. Beings with extremely aggressive tendencies and destructive characteristics that make coexistence with other life forms impossible. That''s why, from the moment they woke up from the seal, they were encroaching on the surroundings, destroying and eating everything around them immediately. [Ellis, is this really possible to attack...? It seems to be absolutely impossible at the level of general users...] The first disaster that has already passed Alice''s pre-censorship. However, Jack, who was watching the users and NPCs being cut helplessly, had deep doubts about whether this was a disaster that he could handle. However, to his question, Elise immediately answered with a firm tone. [It is impossible for most users, but if you judge based on your overall strength, you can attack the scenario sufficiently.] Alice possesses transcendentputing power and resources to contemte and analyze everything. She mobilized all the circuitry to analyze Minsu''s crazy scenario and concluded that 99.9% of users couldn''t handle this scenario. But..... [0.01%. As a result of adding and analyzing 0.01% of users with specific variables, the probability of clearing these five catastrophes was determined to be 99.9%.] Among all users, 0.01% made a significant change in this scenario and furthermore, all catastrophes Alice''s analysis that it can block the Her answer gave Jack a bewildered expression. [So... you mean... after all, 99.9% of users have to suck their fingers, and only 0.01% do it all?] [This isn''t an expression others would prefer... [Strictly speaking, yes.] [This... it''s going to be very noisy again...] The biggest criticism and problem of Arcadia is the power bnce problem, which is criticized by users. There were endlessints andints about so-called hidden sses and good guys eating everything, so for some reason Jack seemed to think of many employees holding onto the phone and sweating profusely. [Reactions of general users are not my consideration. Since the difficulty level has already been significantly loweredpared to the previous setting by partially reflecting the manager''s opinion, it is reasonable to judge what most users cannot handle as an individual capability problem.] Jack was speechless at Alice''s insipid retort that he shouldn''t whine about being too strong even now. [Someone said something..... It''s just that CEO Lee Mi-yeon is going to be very tired again.....] In response to Alice''s reaction, which didn''t seem to work, Jack expressed sincere condolences in his heart. Towards the executives and employees who will suffer in the hell of the royalties while receiving the anger and hatred of billions of users pouring in in this huge disaster. * * * A globalmunity where all Arcadia information is actively exchanged. It was a site where tens of millions of posts were uploaded every day, but after the final chapter started, huge traffic was generated every day due to the influx of visitors. -A close-up video of arge-scale air raid by Chimeras on the Western Front. -Eastern Scenario Source of gue. What is it? -First disclosure of secret clues to the northern scenario. Users who share the situation of each camp by posting information obtained while facing disasters in each region. However, the situation was far from serious. [Don''t choose the western scenario. Here''s the real bullshit answer. Chimera puppies are really filthy strong, but there are a lot of them. Moreover, since they are made up of a group consciousness, their actions are extremely fast and in perfect order.] [Eastern scenario? How do you catch a guy in the sea? Seriously, these X-headed developer bastards have no real ideas. All existing maritime power has already been wiped out, so everyone give up here. Not a single boat is left.] [Viewers, can you see this? I mean the north. I don''t know what gue is, but once you''re around an infected person, you automatically get a status ailment. Then, the dot damage starts toe in with the health percentage, but I fall into the unrecoverable, untreatable, unresolvable status ailment. Then, like me, you will fall behind after 5 seconds. 5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1.... X-shots.] Powerful chimera legions with Hive consciousness settings. A queen who treats them as if they were part of her body, uses advanced strategies and tactics that no one dares to deal with, and obliterates everything that stands in her way. Leviathan creates a huge tsunami in the terrain of the sea,unches powerful attacks, destroys everything within range, and engages in selfish dealings. Besides... the source of the gue that spreads an incurable gue to all living and breathing things without even knowing its existence. Disasters at a vicious level where no strategy or even the possibility of attack is visible. And theints of users who died andined to those who blindly chose them were getting higher and higher in Arpendia. - Oh shit. How are you telling me to do this now? - Contribute, nabal, and look after everything. Ha ha ha ha ha - Top developer? Was that bastard the main culprit of feeding the users? - Did I tell you before? The executives are perverts who delight in seeing us suffer. -Did you make this to break? you guys like this dog -???: 15% stake? All you have to do is say that you will give it and make it so that no one can clear it. Users who are pouring out only curses andints about Arcadia and the mysterious existence of the best developer. In this gloomy situation with no hope in sight, they felt endless disillusionment at the violence of the management team, which had not changed at all. -Really... I think it''s time to fold it. -Invested 1 billion. But still, this game doesn''t have an answer. -Are you still ying this ck cow game? kkkkkkkkkk That''s why users who don''t participate in this scenario and just watch and watch. Most of them wanted to give up soon after thinking that no one would be able to prevent this disaster, but at that moment, a video uploaded by someone started to emerge as a topical video in an instant. - Urgent Breaking News. Sessfully clear the southern scenario. Southern continent of Arcadia. Everyone started questioning the news that they had seeded in attacking the Blood Emperor, the lord of the disaster vampires that started there. And... the people who clicked on the video as if they were possessed. They were able to find the Blood Emperor struggling with a puzzled expression in a video that looked like it was taken by a user. [Get out of the way! How dare these insignificant lowly beings be a great blood lord...] No matter how much they were cut by Ellis, the Blood Emperor was an existence that upied an absolute superiority when ites to living creatures with flowing blood. [Characteristic Blood Domination] A deceitful power that allows you to control all blood around you with just your will. Therefore, there was no existence in his realm that could stand still with both feet on his feet. If he, the Blood Emperor, just wished for it, even the strongest human would spit out all the blood in an instant and turn into a mummy. But..... [Kwuuuuuuuu!] The southern part of Arcadia has already been turned into a realm of slimes where even humans and other living things cannot be found. Appearing in the middle of a slime filled with slime, not blood, he was intoxicated with his own power and had to touch those who were unknowing and should never be touched. [Keuugh..... Go away!] [Kwauuung! Kyuung!] He struggles while bursting the slimes that surround him with powerful blood and opening all powers and powers to the maximum. However, in the realm of slimes where neither a human to be a member nor a creature to absorb blood can be found, the Blood Emperor is faced with a huge crisis that it has never experienced before. [Acquired the characteristic Blood Resistance.] [Acquired the characteristic Agility Sense.] [Acquired the characteristic Siege Tactics.] [Kyung! Kwyung!] A slime race that has been reborn as an existence that has reached the pinnacle of organisms in the fierce battle against the mechanical civilization of the past. Those who evolved by acquiring new characteristics again to match the death of the Blood Emperor''s attack began to emerge from the green slime and surrounded the Blood Emperor. [This... This... What the hell are these...] The Blood Emperor looks tired from consuming too much blood. Kill and kill, endless slime. Realizing that the speed of being reborn is faster than the speed of killing them, he looked at the tens of thousands of slimes surrounding him with a fierce look and looked tired. [Kyungwoon! Kwyung!] Slimes with their distinctive bright eyes shining, belligerent cries as if they were going to punish them. And at that moment, as if he couldn''t tolerate his own struggle against the weakest slimes, the Blood Emperor began to open up his powers with a cold expression. Whoops. shoot it And at that moment, a bloody fog spreads everywhere. [Dare... Dare...! Something like slime kills me!] The Blood Emperor tried to use the ultimate secret technique as if he was going to wipe it all out. However, he was unable to react as he was preparing for that powerful blow. To something huge flying over your head. Aaaaaaaaaaagh. The urrence of tremendous physical force that shakes the entire continent with a huge roar. And it was none other than a giant drop of greenish slime. [Quya?] The Slime Emperor checks his bell while letting out a cute cry as if he caught a fly. He briefly nced at the traces of the Blood Emperor, who had been crushed by that enormous mass and instantly turned into a clot of blood, making it impossible to recognize even the shape of it. [Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu] Then, as if nothing had happened, he fell into a peaceful nap in the middle of the crowd of slimes that followed him. Without even realizing that he had just destroyed a huge catastrophe that would destroy the southern continent of Arcadia. Chapter 450 Chapter 450 The One Who Asks to Stop and The One Who Blocks (1) The Five Disasters Appearing in Arcadia. As a result, the situation in the game was rapidly changing and rampaging like crazy, but the situation in reality was not that different either. - Arcadia said Arcadia'' again. -Operational problems of Arcadia Co., Ltd., which is insane. The internationalmunity exploded in dissatisfaction. -Arge-scale consumer dispute urred in Arcadia Co., Ltd. Is it an unprecedented ss actionwsuit? It is a crazy operating behavior that can not be avoided without cursing. As huge incidents that affect the entire continent broke out every day, the patience of ordinary users who could not enjoy the game properly reached its limit. You damn gamer! Are you calling this operation now? Just stay still! It''s a scenario, it''s nabal, and you don''t need it, so don''t do anything! Even if a chimpanzee runs it, Ill do a lot better than you bastards, you fucking bastards! XXXX! XXXXX! XXXXXXXX! Angry protesters gathered in front of thepany and staged a sit-in. Superrge pickets and candles were held by nobles, superrge screens and sound systems, and even Molotov cocktails appeared. Thisrge-scale demonstration was full of dangerous smells that could escte into riots with just the slightest collision. Oh my gosh... these are all people gathered for a game...? It was really crazy. Has a crowd ever gathered at a demonstration like this? Gwanghwamun Square where Arcadia''s headquarters is located. The police, who were watching the public who gathered there and surrounded thepany in all directions, looked stunned and swallowed their saliva at the spirit of the angry people. This... if I really mess with it, what will happen...? The estimated number of people... is at least 300,000. 300,000. Wow..... It''s not like some country has been turned upside down, but it''s because of one game that many people flocked to it...? The real world is going crazy. Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the streets, throwing away their daily lives and livelihoods. However, the reason why they came and made their voices was far from such noble things as the future of the country or the political situation. People can be like this because of one game..... The first of mankind... and the best virtual reality game, Arcadia. Pure anger towards gamepanies that perpetrate heinous operations that turn such a fantastic game, which is like a piece of art, into a perfect poop mangem. Those who had to stop the wrath of these mad... but too serious gamers all shuddered in a cold sweat and instinctively surged in fear. The fact that a simr phenomenon is happening not only in Korea but all over the world. * * * Hmm... that''s interesting. Min-soo Kim, the culprit, is looking at this situation with interest, where all branches of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are exploding. He gulped down a can of hot chocte and smiled at the world in the game. Has a disaster ended in vain? To die without being able to make proper contact with regr users. Originally, the Blood Emperor would have turned the entire Southern Continent into a realm of vampires, making humanoid NPCs and monsters his own. Due to the deceitful setting that he could never deal with with living creatures with blood, he was suitable for the difficulty of the second half crisis scenario, but the opponent he faced was not verypatible. Even if I meet you, what is slime? Since they were clumps of slime, they couldnt do anything and were robbed. A living slime made of green slime without a single drop of blood. The Blood Emperor, who had already undergone a second half crisis and was reborn as the strongest race in the absolute world, was finally killed in vain due to the collective lynching of those who were reborn as the strongest race, and the enormous physical forceing from a mass close to the size of a huge mountain range. And Minsu, who watched the whole process without missing a single one, muttered and spat out augh as if it was absurd. Isnt this cheating? It''s adventurous, it''s nabal, and it''s a level where all the other disasters can be sorted out with just those slimes, right? Slime''s power beyondmon sense beyond what I thought. In addition to the overwhelming number of individuals, the terrible regeneration rate was also a problem, but rather than that, the characteristics they had were too deceptive. What on earth were you thinking when you added the trait of evolution? Theoretically, there is no existence that can be said to be superior to each other. A characteristic that changes the biological traits of the entire race by supplementing their own vulnerabilities and further targeting the enemy''s weaknesses, using the death of their own kind as a stepping stone. Minsu grumbled at Jack''s atrocities for doing such a ridiculous thing, but Alice responded in a calm tone on his behalf. [Considering the situation at the time, it was a reasonable enough decision.] In a situation where everyone gave up, the slimes stood at the forefront and prevented the invasion of the mechanical civilization Gestalt despite countless sacrifices of their own people. At Alice''s exnation that it was the result of the efforts and dedication of the entire race, Minsu waved his hand and said. Anyway, thats not much. Will this create the situations I want? The urgency disappears, the urgency. Adventurers who struggle with all their might to prevent the disaster they created. Minsu, who was looking forward to the many stories to be derived from that effort, absolutely did not want the story to end with an empty death like the Blood Emperor. [Do not worry. The situation that the administrator is concerned about will not happen.] ...Really? [Didn''t you already prepare a countermeasure?] I...? Was it...? Minsu never thought about slime as a variable. That''s why he tilted his head at Elise''s words, but soon nodded at her exnation. [Anyone can attack only one of the five catastrophes that have manifested. Therefore, the slime race that has dealt with the disaster that started in the southern part of the continent cannot be involved in the other four disasters.] Aha. That''s how it works. Users who have to choose only one of the five disasters they want to target. It was Minsu''s ploy to prevent a situation in which a few specific users solved everything, but when he said that the clue use also applied to slimes, he smiled in repentance. It wasnt my intention... but I did a good job putting it in. After all, I am a genius. Min-soo wants to watch the desperate struggle that everyone walks and crawls through the thorny road spread out in front of them, rather than a certain few handling all problems as if they were solvers. That''s why he was looking at one person with his bright eyes shining. Now..... out of the remaining four, what will be your choice... An existence that is your own apostle and, in a way, the most decisive cause of the start of this final chapter. Dex. Looking at him over the monitor, who is struggling with the options in front of him after essing the game, Minsu picks up a new hot chocte with a look of great anticipation. No matter which one I choose, I''m sure it won''t prevent the rest of the catastrophes? Looking forward to seeing his face as he is at a loss as to what to do in the face of a difficult problem he has designed. * * * Ha... that''s really fucking dirty. As soon as he logged into the game, Jae-young sighed as he looked at the selection window that appeared in front of him. And as if they had been waiting for him, Tan and El flew in pping their wings and made a fuss. Lord Master! It''s a big deal! Why are you back now? A great darkness has appeared in the world. Tan, who looks nervous like a poop-hungry puppy, and L, who speaks more seriously with a stiffer face than ever before. The two of them didn''t even exin what they were talking about, but Jaeyoung covered their noisy chatter and said with an annoyed expression as if he knew everything. know. Asura or something came back? How could the owner of that...? Did you know about the existence of Asura...? Tan and L, who have told Jae-young many secrets of this world, but have never mentioned Asura. The two are genuinely astonished at Jae-young''s words that they already know that the being of fear and destruction, who has equal power and authority to the great Creator who created this world, hase to this world again. made a face Is there only one or two adventurers wandering around here? I already know the story of the people who have already lost their minds over the disaster or what it is, but I know everything. Jaeyoung says it casually as if it''s not too surprising. Tan and L, not knowing how to react to his reaction so unconcerned, looked at their owners nkly with expressions of confusion. So... from your point of view, which one do you see as the biggest problem? Yes....? What do you mean, master? Tan and L roll their eyes at Jae-young''s sudden question, as if not understanding his intentions. To those two, Jaeyoung asked again with a face full of confidence. You guys must have been briefed on the situation from your subordinates. Who is the most dangerous of the bastards out there right now? Huge disasters that cannot be assured of victory even if all the members of the continent of Arcadia do their best. However, there was no fear or sense of crisis on Jaeyoung''s face as she tried to face the disaster. Rather, the feelings I felt from him were... close to annoyance. Over there, the owner... the guys running amok outside... do you know that each one is the same as me and that chicken? Tan asks with a worried face, wondering if he didn''t understand the seriousness of the situation. And he gave advice with a look of genuine concern. Even if you''re the owner, it''s impossible to deal with it alone. Even if we borrow our strength, it may be difficult to win. However, at his words, Jaeyoung murmured with a strangely cold smile. I....? Woo woo woo woo. and that moment. Tan froze at the strong energy emanating from Jaeyoung''s body. This is..... nonsense... A dense and gigantic storm of probability that can never be fathomed. He couldn''t stop talking about the fact that a single human being had such an enormous amount of probability that even if he collected all the probabilities of his own... no, all the divinities, including the celestial world, could not even bepared. [Probability: 9,584,929,810] Through the 2nd Holy Demon War, Jae-young brought about a direct revision of the worldview and the opening of the heavens and demons that were not even nned. In addition, by giving birth to the Holy Demons, a hybrid race of heaven and hell, which cannot coexist, he has an absurd level of probability... literally, a level of probability that can change the fate of Arcadia alone. L, do you know? Archangel Michael, who always looked into the future and gave advice to create the most optimal situation. Jae-young asked about the future that her pioneering vision of causality was looking at. What kind of disaster do I have to smash to pass a huge, bulky candy to the mouth of that damn asura or what? Jae-young, who is a disaster, a fool, and has no choice but to shit on himself and the top developer''s n, who holds this game in his hands and maniptes it like a toy. At such a question, the face of Archangel Michael, the lord of the lofty heavens and Aspect of Glory, turned white. Dangerous..... How the hell can such a huge narrative...'' Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. The flow of a huge narrative set on the stage of this whole world going crazy with the storm of cause and effect and the descent of Asura, centered on the human being in front of him. In the midst of the ever-changing storm as the two collided, she struggled to look at the future at a level she could not dare to handle. The Central Continent... Please stop the Central Continent. Even though it was just a glimpse of fragmentary fragments, Lnded on the floor in a state of exhaustion as if all his strength had been consumed. I''m going to destroy this world, so where can I stop it? sigh. Lets see if you get what you want. Jae-Young chose the disaster he would attack by shing down an option with his finger. So he muttered with a genuinely angry expression. Its show time now, you damn developer. Chapter 451 Chapter 451 The One Who Asks to Block and the One Who Blocks (2) Fivete-stage crisis scenarios forcibly initiated by Asura, the owner of the ck Mist. Originally, it was a scenario that contained the possibility and danger of destroying the whole of Arcadia, so those who could be called protagonists in each stage not only had power so strong that it was impossible to cover their superiority and inferiority, but they were also beings with special settings. Declen, the only survivor of the ck n and the eponymous zodiac dragon that has existed since the beginning of time. Standing on the stage of Arcadia in the role of a catastrophe in the central continent, unlike other catastrophes, he did not appear anywhere. - Why is the center so quiet when other ces are fighting bloody? -I thought it would be the first to be smashed because it''s a dragon, but it''s surprising. - I''m bored and I''m going back. I summoned all the guild members, but what is this? Numerous allied guilds were waiting with everything fully prepared to face the dragon, the strongest and transcendent species in the world. It was also the Central Continent, a base area in Korea known for having the strongest average power of adventurers, so the size and quality of the raid was higher than expected. But... the sword is well-forged, but the target to wield it is nowhere to be seen. While they were wasting time in vain, Declen, the disaster of the Central Continent, was fiercely fighting a war to achieve his goal steadily even in a situation no one was aware of. Kururureureung. Aaaaaaaaang. Forbidden Monster Land is teeming with powerful monsters in a rugged natural environment unexplored by anyone yet. Suddenly, huge explosions and roars were heard from the always quiet ce, and everything around it was being destroyed and destroyed. [Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.! Traitor of the n!] A brilliant golden dragon. Goldrian, the head and leader of the great n of dragons that protects Arcadia. He generously poured out the near-infinite mana contained in his heart and cast 8th and 9th circle magic at Declen. An attack so powerful that even a dragon could be mortally wounded. However, Declen, watching the attack flying towards him, did not waver at all. No, rather, she looked at Goldrian with eyes full of ridicule and recited in a low voice. [You''re ignoring me too much, Lord of this world.] Kuku-kung. Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak. [Do you really think you can defeat me with magic?] As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of powerful magic emanated from his surroundings. Goldrian gritted his teeth as he watched as the spells of the same level as the one he had used appeared and offset one by one. [You bastard... what the hell are you trying to do?] Goldrian knows better than anyone else that a fight alone has no chance. That''s why he used his authority as a Lord to issue a convocation order to all members of the n and spoke to them to make the most of the time. And whether or not he knew his intentions, Declen gave him a kind answer. [I''m saving you.] [Salvation...?] Goldrian made a ridiculous expression at those words. And soon, with a distorted expression, he vomited out a roar. [Stop the nonsense! Traitor of the n! Others may be able to fool you with your sinister tongue, but not me. The memories of you mercilessly ughtering other ns remain vivid in my head.] Goldrian inherited the legacy and memories of the Lords of the previous generation. That''s why he didn''t exist in the era of creation, but he had all the memories of Declen''s rebellion against his father in the past. [Do you know how many of those young hatchlings were killed by you? You brutally killed the Lord who led the entire n... And your unforgivable and ugly atrocities still remain vividly in my memory!] In the past, he led the ck n, rebelled against his father''s mission, and abruptly killed other fellow tribesmen. Declen started doing it. Killing Hetzling, who was regarded as an absolute taboo, was a horrendous crime, but he was a nightmare-like being whomitted even the worst acts unimaginable. [My kind predator, do you dare to say that you save us by taking the hearts of otherrades for power?] The most powerful and excellent magical organ, the dragon heart, the essence of pure and highly concentrated mana. The heart, a gift given by the creator to dragons and one that can never be found in Arcadia, is something that even deities with their own divinities covet. And a predator that devours the heart, which is the source and existence itself of such dragons. Declen. Although Goldrian felt disgusted at the words he said to save himself, he looked up at the sky with a bitter expression and murmured. [Rod of this world, do you think this world is true?] [What...? What is that all of a sudden?] [Have you ever thought about how this world was born and what the reality of the father'' that created us is?] [What the hell are you talking about ! This world was created by my father, the great creator...] [If this whole world is a lie, an illusion, and everyone in this world is just a ything for the person who is said to be the father, would you volunteer to y that role?] What the heck is he doing ? Goldrian did not understand what he was talking about. Watching him make a strange expression, Declen burst intoughter. [I was just like you before. I obeyed the Lord''smand, upheld the mission of the author as the father, was faithful to the orders given to me, and devoted my all to maintaining the order and bnce of this world.] The days of ignorance when I knew nothing of the past . Declen muttered with a face as if recalling that time. However, he suddenly contorted his face and muttered with a ferocious force. [Until the owner of the ck Mist told me the whole truth.] Asura, the owner of the ck Mist, suddenly appeared in Arcadia and began to build a new order beyond the Creator''s will. That cataclysmic moment when numerous gods were swallowed up by him and the setting of the world called Arcadia was changed. He took a strange interest in Declen and told him the truth he didn''t want. [Hmm..... Hey, you know what?] That''s how Declen realized that this world was a lie. At first, he was distrustful of the fact, but seeing the reaction of the other ns whenever he brought up the story, he realized that the story of Asura, which he did not want to believe, was true. [warning. Singrity urred.] [Amnesia. Forced reset applied.] Alice intervenes whenever an NPC recognizes that this world is an illusion or feels a sense of incongruity, erasing all memories or making them unrecognizable. Declen''s actions to hide the reality and truth of this world from everyone but herself eventually drove Declen into madness. [So I will break this world. Kill and destroy all those who live in lies, so that the father'' cannot treat us as toys. Like that... I will save everyone. For all those who live ignorantly in an illusion!] Her goal, which she has talked about hundreds and thousands of times so far. However, his desperate wishes and stories did not reach Goldrian. [warning. Singrity urred.] [Amnesia. Forced reset applied.] As before. [what....? What is that all of a sudden?] Goldrian made a nk expression as if dreaming for a moment, then repeated the same words. And Declen, who had a nk expression for a moment at his reaction, soon poured out madughter and muttered in a self-deprecating voice. [The fact that only I know the whole truth is a very harsh curse. I really envy you who don''t know anything, Lord of this world.] Woo woo woo woo woo. And at that moment, as if the conversation was over, Declen began to radiate powerful mana. He said with bright eyes full of serious living. [Give up your meaningless resistance now and quietly offer your heart.] Declen, the main character of thete crisis scenario and a disaster, has the most powerful trait. [Dragon''s Nemesis] Due to his characteristics, there was no one among the dragons, the guardians of Arcadia, who could face him. Even Goldrian, the lord of all ns. But... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Even though he knew that he was no match, he knew that it was an unavoidable fight, so he squeezed the infinite mana contained in his heart to the fullest and projected the most powerful attack, the breath, at him. [Don''t talk nonsense. I... I will fulfill my mission until the moment my life ends . A goldenser that destroys everything it blocks. The ray of absolute annihtion, which could neither be defended nor evaded, was precisely lodged in Declen''s body, and soon created a huge dust cloud with a roar as if a nuclear bomb had exploded. His blow was so powerful that half of that vast monsternd was blown away. However, as if he had squeezed all his strength, Goldrian was gasping for breath with a tired face. and that moment. Through the thick dust clouds, huge ck ws flew toward the nape of his neck. Aaaaaaang. Declen grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and mmed him roughly on the floor. As if he had been hit, the shiny scales fell off and blood flowed here and there, but he seemed unmortally wounded and felt no restraint in his movements. [I can''t die from that attack... Really... It''s just as my father prophesied.] He is an absolute being that no dragon, including himself, can stop, and if released, it will bring about the extinction of all dragons. prediction that it will. Goldrian muttered in a self-deprecating voice, realizing that if he couldn''t stop him, everything would flow ording to the prophecy. [Give up now, Lord of this world. The pain onlysts for a moment. Only through death will you be able to be freed forever from your father''s shackles.] Goldrian looks at Declen, who raises sharp ws to take his heart. And he decided to use thest resort he could even in this hopeless situation. [I will not give my heart to the likes of you.] [You . Dragon Heart, the most powerful magical organ and the essence of infinite mana. The heart of an old dragon that reached a transcendental level was also the most powerful and powerful bomb. self-sacrifice magic. A magic that intentionally causes a runaway of mana and releases it as mana with the most powerful destructive power all at once. [Stop talking nonsense!] Watching Goldrian refuse to give it to him, even destroying his own heart using the magic that was banned a long time ago, Declen hurriedly struck his ws at his heart. The moment his self-sacrifice spell isplete and Declen''s ws are about to rip out his heart. A low but powerful voice came from somewhere. [Stop all movements.] Kuung. It is not a mere word, but a deration withpulsory enforcement power. The powerful force that spurred them right in front of them made the two of them stop all their movements like a lie. [What is this...?] [I can''t believe it..... Why are the bodies...] The two dragons were shocked by their bodies moving against their will. And at that moment, without even realizing it, Declen was hit by something and flew away. Wow. [...?] Dragonlord Goldrian was looking at the situation unfolding right in front of him with a dumbfounded expression. In front of his eyes, an unbelievable situation was being created. Taking the rulers of the underworld and the celestial realm as if they were pets... a situation in which an adventurer who seemed to be angry about something excitedly beat Declen, who had just tried to kill him. Chapter 452 Chapter 452 The One Who Asks to Block and the One Who Blocks (3) Declen, the leader of the ck n and a dragon that has existed since the beginning of time. The one who realized the truth of this world alone, and who eventually fell into madness in that solitary loneliness, was a being who was destined to destroy all dragons... and furthermore, all of Arcadia. [Later Crisis Scenario Dragon''s Rage] That''s why his narrative was judged as the highest grade of ate Crisis Scenario. Originally, in order to stop Declen''s move to end the world, he had to fulfill difficult and difficult conditions to the extent that many adventurers'' abilities must be gathered together. [Finding the god''s metal helium] [New craft production Ascalon''] [Song of the dragon yer] [The secret library of the dragon king Asupetel] [The conspiracy in the ck mist] . . . Rewards that can be obtained in the process of solving numerous continent-level scenarios rted to dragons. Hidden ss Dragon yer. New Ascalon. The help of many dragons, including the Dragon Lord. In addition to that, Declen is an absolute formidable enemy and a disaster in the world that can be defeated only by using various methods that can weaken his power as much as possible. However, all the arrangements that had been nned to deal with him hadpletely be meaningless in the face of great power. By the overwhelming power of pressing all those settings and requirements. Aaaaaaang. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A situation in which shockwaves that devastate everywhere with an explosive roar are constantly bursting out. Declen was a formidable foe he couldn''t even dare to deal with in the usual way, but now he was being helpless by a single human being who was suffocating to the point of not being able to breathe properly. [Keuuh..... You bastard... What the hell are you!] An adventurer who suddenly appeared and restrained his actions with just a word. Since it was the most superior transcendental species in the world of Arcadia and an ancient species that had reached the limit, it was a shame and anger to have stopped by a mere human. Aaaaaaang. Wow. Its really filthy hard. Even if you keep beating like this, you still wont die? Declen, who has a huge and massive body of a thousand meters, and Jae-young, who is less than two meters tall, are different from him. Inparison, it was natural and right for Declen to win with the overwhelming difference in physique, like a fight between a human and an ant, but the situation was flowing in apletely different way from suchmon sense. [How... How can a mere human possess such ridiculous powers?] A human with a normal appearance on the outside. He looked like an ordinary human without mana, aura, or elemental power. [Sangshin Dragon yer Cain] [Sangshin Shrine Amelia] [Sangshin Merlin, Great Mage of Truth] [Sangshin Dragon yer Bersek] [Sangshin Spirit Master Eldeia] . . . At one point, he radiated explosive strength and poured powerful sword steel. Sometimes, he radiates powerful magic and casts high-ranking magic. In an instant, an arrow filled with strange power flew towards his heart. Swordsmanship, magic, archery, spiritism... His fighting style seems to have already reached a level that can''t be reached even if he trains in many realms for the rest of his life. Even that alone was shocking, but Declen admired his ipetence in dealing with him naturally without being intimidated or intimidated at all despite the difference in weight ss that exceeded thousands... no, tens of thousands of times. [Humans are stronger than any other humans I''ve ever seen.] Jaeyoung''s overwhelming strength makes even him obsessed with arrogance and conceit forced to admit it. However, despite his praise, he grumbled with a face that seemedpletely uninspired. What is strong? It doesn''t seem like it''s taking much damage. I don''t know how much HP he has or how high his defense is, but Declen doesn''t seem to take proper damage. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung frowned as if he was annoyed, and Tan came up to him pping his little wings and whispered softly with his eyes shining. Master, why dont you do that with me and that chicken? that? Tan puts on a sinister expression as if he is looking forward to it and makes remarks that could lead to a major misunderstanding (?). At his words, Jaeyoung narrowed his eyes and looked at Tan as if he didn''t like it. no. ah! why! Seeing Jaeyoung firmly rejecting his offer, Tan, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, continued persuading him. If you want to deal with thatrge lizard, is it absolutely impossible for me and that little chicken? I don''t know if we use both of our strengths at the same time as we did back then, but we can never win with the help of such a goofball now. that''s right. That dragon was a traitor who rebelled against his father. It has a different level of power than normal polyps. L nodded as if agreeing with Tan''s words. However, despite the story of the two, Jaeyoung let out a deep sigh with a clear expression on his face that he did not want to do that. Wouldnt you like to be me? However, the probability of eating one of you is enormous, so how can you handle that if both of you are strong at the same time? Jae-young, who attempted a fusion of good and evil that no one could have imagined, to produce a splendid appearance to end the Great War of the Holy Spirit in the past. The amount of probability expended at the time to make that unprecedented impossible thing a reality was so enormous that it made me break out in a cold sweat. To be honest, even though I did not use my strength properly at that time, the probability entered in billions, but I do my best to catch that disaster? No matter how you look at it, it''s not worth the price. The first scenario of Asura, the chief developer. Even now, the scale and level were so bleak that there was no answer, but with two scenarios left, Jaeyoung needed to save the probability he had as much as possible. Minimal expenditure and maximum efficiency. Knowing that this is the principle that the profession of a wanderer in this turbulent world should ce the most importance on, Jae-Young is pioneering a difficult path despite the fact that there is an easy way to solve the current situation. So what are you going to do then? If you cant reach the level of normal strong yers, you should raise the level above that. what? The spirits dont seem to care, and magic doesnt really have an answer, and it doesnt seem like divine power or magic doesnt seem to be affected much... Physical power is probably the answer. Numerous abilities that exist in Arcadia. Jae-young checked Declen''s reaction while attempting an attack using all of them. He was able to figure out the most optimal way to tackle the disaster that was right in front of him. Just beating until you''re done is the best way to do it. Kangsin All Weapon Master Calypso. Whoops. Jaeyoung, who had borrowed the power of Calypso, who has the power of the King of All Byeongji and can use all weapons to the limit, said to L, who was looking at him nkly. Ill borrow one of the El gs. yes....? Ah yes. And at that moment, a spear appeared in front of Jaeyoung along with aplicated magic circle. [This power...? No way...?] Cry out, spear piercing the sky. Woo woo woo woo woo. The spear Jaeyoung was holding resonated and emitted a strange light, and a powerful divinity began to form within it. [You bastard... that weapon...?] The power of transcendence that inferior and lowly humans can never demonstrate. Declen''s eyes began to tremble at the manifestation of a powerful divinity that holds his own dignity and divinity, but Jae-young did not blink an eye and radiated that power. [Shiki activated Longinus'' Judgment] One of the divine weapons possessed by the heavens and a mythical weapon in the form of a spear. Sacred Spear Longinus. As the powerful and destructive celestial god possessing the power to kill even a god flew towards him, Declen cast the ultimate defense magic with a shocked look on his face. [Absolute defense] [Solid iron armor] [Unbreakable wall] [Ice wall of 10,000 years] At the moment when Longinus flew away, Declen activated the highest level of defense magic in all 9 circles. However, despite theyer uponyer of powerful transcendence level magic blocking it, Longinus quickly flew towards his target. [Pierce, pierce, pierce.] [An unstoppable blow.] [One shot.] Although not a major weapon representing the heavens, Longinus is definitely a weapon that contains the power of a god. The absolute setting inside it was not of such a nature that no matter how strong and solid the magic of the 9th circle could dare to block. Koo Goo Goo Pce. Longinus flies through his defense magic, which can block anything, so easily. He tried to react while looking at it, but Declen had no time to avoid the blow that flew so fast that he had no choice but to be hit straight. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Declen was blown away and mmed to the ground, receiving an incredible blow that was unbelievable for the power of that small toothpick-like spear. And Goldrian just stared nkly at the sight with an expression as if his soul had escaped. [Keuuuu..... How could a mere human... be amazed...?] Declen moaned with a painful expression on her face, as if she had been fatally wounded by that one shot unlike before. However, he couldn''t finish everything he was saying as he looked at Jaeyoung, who hade close to him from afar. Chew. A blow that cuts through his sturdy flesh. And Declen''s pupils widened at the powerful power that permeated through the wound and prated the body. [This... this power...?] A powerful curse that constricts one''s own body. And when he saw the grotesque dagger in Jaeyoung''s hand, he shouted. [Eternal Curse! How is that again?] The heavens and the demons. An unidentified human who freely picks up the sacred spirits of twopletely opposite worlds and delivers a fatal blow to each one. Declen, who had known countless knowledge and secrets from the moment of the creation of the world, having lived for an eternity, struggled to deny this situation that even he could not understand. [Can''t happen. It is impossible. How could a lowly human being dare to do such nonsense against me...] From the moment of creation, he was born with more power than anyone else, realized the reality of this world, rebelled against his father, and sealed the time close to eternity. Declen has been reborn as a disaster that no one dares to face. He began to unleash his power, feeling intense anger at the fact that his life was being threatened by a human who was less than a mere insect. [I... I! The savior who will save everyone in this world! It''s not something that even a human like you can stop!] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. Declen''s momentum haspletely changed, unlike before. Unusual momentum began to emanate from him, like a boss monster entering the final phase during a raid, but Jaeyoung did not back down at all. Do you know why I borrowed the power of Calypso, whose level is halfway there? The heroes of the celestial world and the demonic realm are full of beings who have pioneered their own path as all-weapon masters, but are certainly stronger than that. However, it was none other than his vision skill that Jaeyoung specifically summoned him. King of All Byeongji. A fraudulent skill that allows you to freely use all weapons with just your will. At the same time as the skill was activated, Jaeyoung freely opened the arsenal of heaven and hell in exchange for enormous probability. It''s most effective to push a big guy like you out of stock. Woo woo woo woo. [ Ah ..... He opened his mouth in a daze as he watched the waves of countless divine and powerful weapons containing the power of the heavens and the demon world. Thousands of weapons move like limbs ording to Jaeyoung''s will. And by carefully controlling them one by one, Jaeyoung released all the power of each weapon at once. Where can you stand this, you son of a lizard with only this pit of blood. Chapter 453 Chapter 453 The One Who Asks to Block and the One Who Blocks (4) Numerous weapons that exist in Archidaa. Starting with basic weapons such as swords, bows, axes, spears, hammers and shields, they have been derived into hundreds and thousands of different forms, but the essence is simple. The rank that dwells in the object. Frommon equipment made by a fledgling cksmith in a factory-like workshop by simply smeltingmon iron ore to equipment made with rare metals and materials or by skilled artisans. From the so-called normal grade to rare.... asionally, it was judged as a unique grade on very rare asions, but these items clearly had their power limitations. No matter how good quality materials and skilled artisans make it, it does not break the dignity of the equipment. However, very asionally, the user who uses the product exceeds the limits given to the device. The blood-stained sword of a berserker who single-handedly ughtered tens of thousands of enemies. A wand used by an archmage who had trained all his life and surpassed human limits. The shield of a certain guardian who endured to defend his country until the end even though he knew he was going to die. The cloak of a certain thief who sessfully stole treasure in an impregnable fortress by breaking through the strict security. Weapons that arepletely reborn, breaking the existing status, in such heroic and great narratives that it is hard to believe that any one individual has achieved them. People used to call them. Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. And the weapons in what could be called the treasure house of the demon world and the celestial world were at least Epic grade. Woo woo woo woo. have you ever imagined A weapon used by the greatest heroes and the worst viins who dominated a continent. The situation in which hundreds and thousands of sacred spirits, which contain the power of transcendent beings that can only be heard in legends and myths, are flying at the same time. And the figure of each of those arms radiating the power that it contains to the maximum. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Powerful divine power emitted intense brilliance to punish the enemy, and the terrible demonic energy exploded and began to devour Declen''s body with fierce ck mes. And he wasn''t just watching the situation. [Keuuuuu..... How dare you...!] Weapons that fly freely in the air like a swarm of bees and attempt to attack from all directions. Even though he was the number, because of the gods hidden among the group, Declen couldn''t even dare to attack Jae-young, who was looking at him from afar, full ofposure. Roaring. [Hiahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ar who when they are surprised .ch from her back. Declen howled in agony as the torch bearing the mighty divinity pierced his hard scales and burned his flesh and muscle. Oh, of course, you have to be at least a mythical level to properly attack. Jaeyoung muttered while watching Declen fighting fiercely with thousands of weapons. And Goldrian, who was watching the scene, froze with a shocked expression on his face. What the hell... is that human...?'' A mysterious adventurer who appeared at the moment of desperation when he was about to die. Goldrian was already familiar with the adventurers, the beings of the other world, freely wandering the world of Arcadia, but the being in front of him waspletely different inmon sense from the ordinary adventurers he had observed from afar. To handle the magical powers of the heavens and the demon realm...and that way, with just willpower, freely. It would be impossible to even draw out that power even if you train it over a lifetime, but what the hell is that...'' A vessel containing the power of a god, a vessel that can be handled, was not something that anyone could handle. In order to freely control that power without being encroached upon by that powerful divinity, you had to be a being with a personality that matched it. For that reason, only the pope, a few selected heroes, and a few rare viins were the only humans capable of handling divine powers during that eternity of time. Impossible..... that is impossible for me... no, for any existence.'' However, there is not even one such god, but a human who brings out all the gods that exist in the heavens and the demon realm and uses their power 100%. It was so absurd that even the demon king and the archangel opened their mouths after seeing it, but the reaction of the two watching it was so calm. master! Deathbringer''s curse is worse than I thought. Try attacking with that too. okay? uh. If you put it right in the heart, even a giant lizard can''t move. Wait a minute... Let''s try something. As if this was no surprise, the demon king showed a very natural reaction and did not hesitate to use the word master to mere humans. Goldrian, who was staring at him nkly, was able to instinctively understand through his lofty intellect. The fact that the person in front of him was an immensely strong man who would not dare to im victory even if he and all his n members charged together. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. Declen, who withstood the attacks that had been pouring down without a break while exhausting billions of probabilities. However, it seems that even that eventually reached its limit, and he was unable to control his huge body, making a loud roar and crashed into Monster Land, which had already been ruined a long time ago. Whew... is it finally over? Jaeyoung let out a small sigh and muttered as if he was really annoyed. And then he summoned a huge greatsword and climbed on top of it as if he was riding a board, quickly approaching the fallen Declen. Chiyiyi profit. Declen''s body is slowly eroding as it turns gray. However, because of its size, it took quite a while for him to diepletely, so Jaeyoung looked at the huge body with a rxed face. Hmm... It''s definitely bigger than the Kervenian I caught before. Isnt it obvious? This guy is a dragon that was born with us from the moment of creation. It''s aplete progenitor level that can''t even bepared to lizards these days. Dragon is a being that gets stronger with age. I have no choice but to do that because I have lived for an eternity beyond the limits of my lifespan. Tan and El said one word to Jaeyoung, who was muttering to himself while thinking of the red dragon Kervenian, whom he had barely stabbed to death with a bamboo spear when the odds were low. Actually, from what I''ve seen, this guy seems to be in a weaker state than before. It is. I''ve seen them riot before, maybe more then? Isnt it weakened because of the seal? It could be so... Actually, I''ve lived far beyond the given lifespan. The head of the Heavens and the Demon Worlds, who speaks uncharacteristically for saying that he has be weak in front of himself dying. I don''t know why these two were so attached to a human or something, but Declen averted her eyes as if it didn''t matter anymore. Then he looked at Jaeyoung, who knocked him down, and said. [You... that''s too much power for a human being to hold.] Declen has never been interested in anything other than his own people. Humans who were not born with any special powers were not even aware of it. Just like the ants we sometimes encounter while passing by the roadside. But now, with the dragon''s unique curiosity, he asked the man who had defeated him with a deeper interest than ever before. [What is the source of your power?] Holy power and magic. Jae-Young, who freely uses the power that is mutually ipatible and can never be harmonized. In this worldview, I questioned this unidentified existence that makes an absolutely impossible situation a reality. And... to his question, Jaeyoung answered calmly. Top Developer. [Chief... Developer?] Declen, of course, doesn''t understand the meaning of that word. To him, Jaeyoung corrected the story he had just said. Other names... they say it''s Asura. [Asura...?] Asura, the owner of the ck Mist. He is the one who told Declen the truth of this world in the past and drove him into madness. And when he faced another being rted to him, Declen had a shocked expression on his face and his eyes trembled. [I don''t understand..... If you were following his will, weren''t you looking at the same thing as me?] Huh? What does that mean? chaos. Destruction. fall. To bring about the end of this world, to see the end of all things, and to bring them back to nothingness. Declen, who tried to free himself and everyone else from this endless bondage, looked at Jae-young, who defeated him instead of helping him, with a confused face. [This world... is a world of false illusions.] [Warning. Singrity detection.] Alice''s intervention to conceal the truth about this world as it applies to Tan, El and Goldrian. However, unlike the three of them, whose eyes were rxed for a moment and made a nk expression, Jae-young was looking at Declen with a lively look that was no different from before. I know. [What...?] I know this world is a lie and everything is fake. [...!] A long time ago. Thousands and tens of thousands... Declen tried to let everyone know the truth of this world he knew through countless various attempts. However, he made an indescribable expression as he looked at Jae-young, who was clearly listening to his desperate story that no one else could reach. So, since all of this is a lie anyway, youre going to destroy it all? A decision made in the midst of countless anguish and despair. He did not agree to his lofty oath to free everyone from this life of very. Dont talk shit. Who are you to determine the meaning of that life? NPCs who are virtual beings. It was data made of 0 and 1, but those with iprehensibly advanced AI clearly recognized the world they were living in as real, and lived their lives faithfully, feeling joy and sorrow in it. I dont know who made the joke, but there is a saying like this. This whole world might be a world in a giant matrix''. It means that the whole world that I and you live in might just be a toy someone made up. Arcadia, a fantasy world that provides a sense of reality that is so perfect. In this world, Jaeyoung suddenly thought. Such a funny thought that maybe even this reality in which he lives is not an illusion. But that didn''t change anything. Fake or not. Living in that world, we exist. Isnt that enough? fiercer than anyone else. A lot of people who live in this virtual world more passionately than anyone else. No one was qualified to destroy their happiness, prosperity and peace. Even the beings who created this world. So I''m going to walk a different road than you. Woo woo woo woo woo. The highest power that can intervene in this virtual world in any way. probability. Exhaling the gray energy, Jaeyoung looked straight into Declen''s eyes, which seemed to be fluctuating like crazy. Either Asura or their father will forcefully shove a huge and bulky taffy into their snouts that neither of them can handle. I was determined to fuck them both equally. Chapter 454 Chapter 454 Who Asks to Block and Who Blocks (5) Either Ashura or his father will forcefully shove a huge and bulky candy into their mouths that neither of them can handle. Creator of this world. And Asura, the being in the void, equal to him. A human being who has an unimaginable dream of feeding taffy to the two highest-ranking deities that no one can touch. At his deration, Declen burst intoughter even in the desperate situation where the spark of life went out. No, I had no choice but to explode. [Kkeukkeuk..... Kuhhahahahahaha!] Mad and arrogant. arrogant and cheeky An idea that cannot be expressed in any words.... Declen looked at him with an expression of regret at the man''s determination to sincerely stand up to the two who could be said to be true gods. . [Brave human being,pared to the road you are walking, I am nothing more than an extremely normal and normal level.] Declen muttered while looking at me with eyes as if you were qualified to pick me up. However, Jaeyoung responded with a smile as if to wait and see. don''t worry. I have no malice, but in a way your death is part of that grand n. Whatever it is, the moment when the scenario of this final chapter presented by the damn best developer is in progress, I have to force myself to tune in. Jaeyoung, who had to kill Declen in order to do that, said as if not to look at him with too much resentment. Even if it''s not the direction you want, I''ll give that father a good shot. Declen felt a strange feeling as if all the anger and resentment he had umted in his heart for an eternity melted away at that assurance and confidence-filledmitment. [Is that so... was it like that...] In the peaceful feeling of finally being freed from the hellish yoke that had been tying everything down on him, Declen murmured as if it was very pitiful. [Why did I finally meet a human like you... I regret it.] Declen looks back on her past life to see if she should have paid more attention to those bug-like humans. However, at his words, Jaeyoung smiled mischievously. Oh, you dont have to be sorry about that. After all, a person like me is so out of the ordinary that I would never have met someone like him. [Is that so...] Although he has long since given up the lingering attachments to life, Declen feels very sorry for this fleeting moment when he only has a conversation right before his death. The fact that he met someone who truly understands him for the first time was so precious to him. Realizing that his time was running out, he asked Jae-young with a serious expression. [Human, I didn''t ask for your name.] My name? When he suddenly asked for his name, Jaeyoung made a strange expression. And he answered right away. Dex. [Dexra.....] Den muttered his name to himself for a while. And he asked, exuding intense mana from his whole body as if he had reached thest brilliantly shining sh of light before going out. [Dex, can you promise that you will never give up and walk that path in order to achieve the mission you just told me about?] What? promise? Why is that all of a sudden? [Answer the question. Will you really realize the long-cherished wish I couldn''t achieve without abandoning that mission?] Declen asked seriously again, not as if joking. Now, that gray energy had engulfed most of his body except for his head and chest, and Jaeyoung gave a slightly puzzled look at his sudden question, but soon nodded. okay. I promise. And Declen, who smiled strangely as if satisfied with the answer, soon thanked Jaeyoung. [Thank you.] Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. What is this...? Jae-young puts on a bewildered expression when a powerful storm suddenly begins to rage around him. However, I was able to quickly notice that there was no murderous intent in that strange phenomenon. [Looks like there''s only one thing I can do for you to help you aplish that impossible task.] Declen says her final goodbyes as if she''s made up her mind. At the moment when his body rapidly disintegrates and disappears, he muttered to Jaeyoung in a low voice as if praying. [Please... I hope myst legacy will help you along the way...] Jae- young, whose situation has not yet been properly grasped. However, Alice, who was monitoring and analyzing the situation by mobilizing all avable resources, was rapidly operating the arithmetic circuit with repeated beeps. [warning. warning. Critical variables ur.] [Special NPC Declen. Special power activated.] [Unexpected abnormal behavior detected.] [Intensive analysis mode activated. Reexamination of possible scenarios.....] Originally, the light dragon Declen, which was ate stage crisis scenario and a huge disaster, had to fall at the cost of the sacrifices of countless adventurers and dragons in a fierce battle that devastated the entire continent. But at this moment. As he faced the existence of Jae-young, who was no different from amunity with the same destiny as his own, he came to create strange results that no one expected. Dalgrak. What is this... Jae-young saw that the enormous body, about the size of a mountain behind the town, had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a small crystal the size of an adult''s head. And the moment he inadvertently picked it up, crazy messages began to cover his eyes. [The light dragon Declen, who will destroy the world, has died.] [The Central Continent''s disaster has been cleared.] [There are three remaining disasters.] Five disasters that Asura forcibly opened. At the same time as the news that two of them were cleared, a huge reward for monopolizing one disaster began to pour into Jaeyoung. [Mythic feat. You defeated a disaster single-handedly.] [All beings in Arcadia revere the birth of a hero.] [ Your actions will be forever recorded as a story in mythology.] [Obtained the title Savior of the Dragon''.] [The title Adventurer who stopped destruction'' was acquired.] [The title All Master'' was acquired.] [The title Master of All Weapons'' was acquired] [The title The One Who Protected the Central Continent'' was acquired I did.] . . . Jae-young gets tired of acquiring a special title that is difficult for others to obtain. And then again, the ignorant contribution was dropped on him like a nuclear bomb. [Acquired 5000000000 contribution.] 5 billion. A situation where the contribution of 5 billion came in at once. Looking at it, Jaeyoung checked the number of contributions that shone in one corner of his field of view. - Contribution: 10000000000 It''s the same amount as the slime guys dealt with... Seeing that the reward for the feat (?) the slimesmitted was the same as when it came to him who did nothing, Jaeyoung felt a sense of relief. I was able to find out a few facts. Roughly, the total amount of contributions that could be obtained in this first scenario was 25 billion... Originally, contributions that should have been shared among billions of users amicably. However, Jae-young, who had monopolized as much as 40% of them, soon came to the idea that achieving his n might not be so difficult than he thought. You said you would give a 15% stake in Arcadia to the person with the highest contribution...? The final reward that I offered at the beginning of this ridiculous scenario called the final chapter. Jaeyoung, who was aiming for it, gritted his teeth and muttered with his eyes shining again. I dont know who it is... but once we meet, Ill give you a proper punch in the face, really. Without realizing that you are watching everything he says and does in real time. * * * Ow. He was really poisonous. Jae-Young, who sessfully stopped the disaster in the Central Continent. Minsu, who had conceived all these scenarios while listening to his promise to punch him in the face, smiled yfully as if he wasn''t afraid at all. [Hey.... It''s not something to go over casually like that. I''m a little nervous.] Jack takes a close look at Jaeyoung''s reaction with a serious expression on his face. Minsu asked him with a face that he didn''t know at all. huh? why me? [When you look at him, he still looks like an ordinary user?] Hmm... well, it''s special because he''s a user who got a hidden ss that I devised. But... It''s not a normal job, it''s a job that he nned and devised himself. Of course, he needed a resource called probability, but it was clear that he was a special user who could exert power close to omnipotence if that probability was guaranteed. But... So, you''re not just a user anyway? He is the manager and designer who created the virtual world of Arcadia. To Min-soo, who is the leader and culmination of all science and technology rted to virtual reality, the existence of Jae-young did not pose a great threat. [That''s right. But he''s not an ordinary human''.] Hmm? What does that mean? [I''ll send you the relevant data, so check it out.] At that, Minsu tilted his head while operating the tablet in his hand. Then he looked carefully at the screen that appeared and said with a rather surprised expression. Wow... what is this all about? Is this real? [that''s right. This is data that the research team has checked hundreds and thousands of times. Excluding me who you were talking about so much.... I am the only second suitable person'' on this.] A very rare being who is born with a very special gic factor and is born with only a 0.00000000000001% chance. The One. A being that can instantly recognize and recognize everything and process all information without any loss of data between the machine and the human brain. Minsu blew a whistle in surprise at the fact that there are only two of those rare beings with a synchro rate close to 100%, which is close to atrocities. Hey..... Were these valuable human resources hidden in Korea? Anyway, this country has a lot of territory, but there are a lot of people who have strangely genius talents in one subject? Minsu quickly looked at the umted data as if it were strange. And he soon analyzed its characteristics. It doesnt seem like 100%es out unconditionally in normal times... It seems that 100%es out even for a moment when you are extremely absorbed in something or in a state of concentration? [In an interview with the research team after the experiment was over, they said that at that moment it felt as if time stopped. And every time, he shows incredible physicality that makes him feel like he''s gone crazy. Unlike me, it seems that allpetencies are purely specialized for management, not implementation. I''ve also seen him use Lucid Dream, but he''s really bad at it.] Well.... It seems like it''s the same when you look at all the other games that have changed their rankings to No. 1. Monstrous situational judgment and physical genius. One person invincible. The hermit in the veil. As for the games he ys, he bes a legend to everyone by taking the top spot in the unofficial world ranking for every game he touches. Dex. Realizing his true identity, Min-soo giggled with a strangely evil smile. scent..... The more I look at it, the more I like it. It''s like an onion, the more you peel it, the more something new pops out. Feeling as if he was being rewarded for the past two years, when he was immersed in rocket development among a crowd of boring scientists, Min-soo looked at him burning his fighting spirit in the game with sparkling eyes more than ever before, with a look of great anticipation. muttered. I see... I cant wait to see how he fucks me and you. Minsu''s words filled with sincerity. Jack, who was somehow entangled in his words, mutteredmentably with a poop-chewed expression on his face. [I don''t want to be fucked, so please take it out of me.....] Jack was a disaster, he was nabal, he didn''t need everything, and he just wanted to live peacefully like before. Chapter 455 Chapter 455 The One Who Asks to Block and the One Who Blocks (6) Jack and Minsu, who can be said to be the actual owners of Arcadia. On behalf of these two, who had never revealed their true nature to the world, President Lee Mi-yeon became a strong meat shield and personally blocked the anger of billions of people around the world. Boss, it seems difficult to leave work right now. Even though it was already dinner time, arge bodyguard stood in front of her as if in trouble. However, at his words, Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, asked back without being embarrassed at all. It looks like they started a surprise demonstration again, right? yes. The police riot police were mobilized, but... They say that it will be difficult to break through their encirclement and secure a safe route to work. Ha... How much is the estimated scale this time? It''s not yet urate, but I''m guessing at least 600,000. 600 thousand. Ordinary petit bourgeois yers who were indignant at the series of incidents in Arcadia. The slogans shouted by those who threw away their daily lives and gathered to Gwanghwamun za, where Arcadia Co., Ltd.''spany building is located, were all the same. Down with Arcadia! Awaken the troubledpany! There has never been apany like this before! Cut off all the perverted executives who take pleasure in fucking the users! Take responsibility for all executives and resign! Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s management path, which gave awaymunication a long time ago and always walks the dog X My Way. Comints about him had been raised before, but the anger that exploded due to this doomsday scenario was greater than expected and showed no sign of extinguishing. Who the hell nned the surprise protests that are only aimed at rush hour? Employees who cant go home often, but it looks like they cante home from work because of that protest. The figures of people seen as small dots beyond the window. However, because of the huge number of people, the crowd that filled Gwanghwamun Squarepletely blocked thepany area to the point where it felt like watching a swarm of ants. Well... almost all of the staff have already given up. After all, when the main scenario was in progress, there were many things that I couldnt go even if I could. Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han suddenly appeared. He answered casually, as if he had heard President Lee Mi-yeon''s words to himself, as if he had reached a state of liberation. Executive Director... are you okay? yes. it''s okay. Why? No... nothing. The man who always put on a shit-chewed expression, talking about living rather than dying whenever he stopped by the office. But today, when she saw that she hade to see her with a strangely calm face, President Lee Mi-yeon shook her head feeling a strange sense of incongruity. So... what are you doing at this time? Do you have anything special to report? An important task to be handled today has already beenpleted an hour ago. Originally, she would have already left the office and climbed into the car on the way home from work, so she looked at Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon who suddenly came at this time and asked. And in response to President Lee Mi-yeon''s question, he took out a thick document. Maybe... is it possible for you to directly contact the developers who started this apocalypse scenario? Um... why would you ask that? President Lee Mi-yeon puts on a wary expression when she asks Myeong-han Kwon, who seems to be looking for Min-su and Jack. But what he said next was very unexpected. Anyway... I think it would be better to stop the current n. What do you mean? The pressure ising in at a level we cant handle. What is that... CEO Lee Mi-yeon gave a puzzled expression and epted the documents he was holding. And as she read the thick documents one by one, her expression was distorted moment by moment. This... what is this? It is a subpoena, including letters of protest and reminders and warnings from all over the world. Arcadia Co., Ltd. has been reborn as a globalpany in less than 5 years. Since it was the onlypany that developed virtual reality for the first time in mankind and provided the service while possessing the original technology, its influence was enormous beyond imagination. And that word was in line with the meaning that there were so many people who were bound by interests in Arcadia that it was impossible to even estimate. Including the European Union, Russia, China, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and even Africa. In all countries where we establish offices and provide services, we are simultaneously showing unusual movements about the current situation. It is not simply a entertainment level for people, but a window to earn foreign currency necessary for livelihood, and a tform that provides infrastructure and systems that do not exist in reality. Furthermore, as long as it has grown into an industry that ounts for a huge portion of the national economy, Arcadia has long since surpassed the level of just a singlepany. If an extreme situation or measure like the one you are concerned about is implemented, each country will mobilize all means and methods permitted byws and systems to make efforts for yourpany to fulfill its responsibilities as a globalpany and normalize itself.... ? Isn''t this just a threat? It was written inmon as if it were a promise. The fact that it was an official letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stamped with the official seal of each country, and not a singlepany or small organization, made Lee Mi-yeonugh out loud. This was an unofficialment from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea... It seems that the Japanese government probably made a move. why. At this point, you must have been thinking of inciting other countries to permanently suspend their services, right? Well... I think there must be a reason for that, but... it''s not urate information. In any case, all countries except Korea and the United States are now stepping up to say that they will not leave unless the current scenario is stopped. Ha..... Really, this far with just one game... Arcadia Co., Ltd. has already received all sorts of usations and even civilwsuits from numerous individuals and organizations. Even just that, the scale was enormous beyond imagination, so the executives and employees of each branch and the legal team were busy putting their heads aside and responding to legal disputes. rested I... boss. May I say something? yes. Please tell me. That.... If this scenario results in such measures as termination of service or initialization... it will be engulfed in a hugewsuit. Not just thepanies we work with, but thepanies that have invested heavily in Arcadia. In addition, consumers who spent a long time paying tens of millions of won for capsules and hundreds of thousands of won for usage fees. In addition, to the governments of each country that recognized gold as an official international currency. entire. A measure that literally feeds billions of people. And that meant that thousands of tens of thousands ofwsuits that Arcadia could never win would take ce on a global scale. And the responsibility for all of that will probably go back to the boss... The existence of a developer who has never revealed himself. Unlike them, whose identity, identity, and nothing else was known, President Lee Mi-yeon, who stood in front of the executive director who gave the authority, clearly revealed his position. [Arcadia General Manager Lee Mi-yeon] ncing at the name written on the antique namete on the desk of President Mi-yeon Lee''s office, Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han said cautiously. So, even for the sake of the boss, making this scenario stop..... ..... Its true even if you think about it a hundred times a thousand times. That''s why President Lee Mi-yeon couldn''t bear to say anything to the advice that came from the heart of such executive director Kwon Myeong-han. Because..... the person who was doing all of this was clearly aware that this situation woulde. [Do you have any ns to do it if you are entrusted with managing thepany? It''s an IT-rted cultural content project you want.] Kim Min-soo, a young kid who came to the PC room where he worked part-time in the past and banged on the keyboard every day. Arcadia, apany that suddenly visited him one day and entrusted him to him, iming to be repay for the rice balls he handed to him out of pity. President Lee Mi-yeon, who only thought he was a bold kid and genius, but did not know Min-soo''s true identity, took the bait and regretted epting the offer shortly after. Kim Min-soo, known to the world as a genius boy. But his reality wasn''t the only one. The great darkness itself that does not reveal itself to the world, but controls the world situation by manipting others in the shadows. Although he did not understand all of his ns, Lee Mi-yeon knew that what Min-soo had said as a joke in the past was now sincere. [World domination, world domination. That''s my dream.] He''s about to devour the world with a 16-year-old head and no blood. And without realizing it, President Lee Mi-yeon has be the craziest chess piece in this crazy world. So... there was only one thing she could do. I know everything, Mr. You don''t have to worry about my safety. The situation that the executive director and the governments who sent this letter are concerned about will not happen. Is that true....? yes. sure. trust. To believe and pray that this Arcadia will not perish like this. And that this maddening scenario will stop before that happens. Knowing that serving as Min-soo''s faithful shield and thepany''s pants president is her true duty, CEO Lee Mi-yeon struggled to suppress her nervousness and smiled at Executive Director Myung-han Kwon, who gave her eyes full of distrust. Please wait with hope, Mr. Havent yers already sessfully prevented two catastrophes that were said to be impossible? 5 catastrophes with unanswered levels and difficulties. The fact that two of the disasters that I thought could be prevented were prevented in less than two days was quite encouraging. Of course... That was a very unusual situation, sir. Those two cases were miracles that made no sense. The slime that became a ridiculous monster... and a near-abnormal user called Dex are close to a miracle. In the case of other regions, they are not able to use their hands properly and are just getting helpless. In particr, in the case of the western side, where Chimeras are active, the situation is serious, with almost everything close to destruction. Other than those two continents, the other areas are just bleak. However, there was nothing Slime and Dex could do about it. Only one disaster can be attacked... Because of this restriction, slimes and other users called Dex cannot attack other disasters anymore. You can never intervene in the rest of the catastrophe. But even in such a situation, President Lee Mi-yeon seemed to not lose hope. Have faith, Mr. yes....? It is said that God bestows grace upon those who have faith... right? A situation that is already outside of one''s authority....a situation like an unavoidable natural disaster. That''s why she muttered to herself, thinking of her secret friend (?) who always brought out unbelievable results. If it''s to keep his promise to me... he''ll have to do it somehow. Chapter 456 Chapter 456 The One Who Asks to Stop and The One Who Blocks (7) The light dragon, Declen, rises as a cataclysm bringing an end to the stage of the Central Continent. In order to achieve the madness he had been obsessed with for an eternity of time, he was only given the role of ughtering countless people and destroying the brilliant civilization of this world. An executioner of destruction who willpletely annihte the dragon, the guardian of Arcadia, and destroy everything around him until the end of his life. That was his role in the scenario of this doomsday project. But..... [Thank you.] The existence of Jaeyoung, who is the remnant of Asura and knows the truth of this world. Although the resolution is different, it is clearly his promise to achieve what he hopes for and longs for. Awakening the disaster that had gone mad in despair and anger, it made unexpected and sudden actions. [warning. Critical variable detected.] NPC Declen, a special being who has been lifted from the mandatory restrictions and defenses that apply to everyone, and who has been endowed with the highest level of self-consciousness and initiative. That''s why, at thest moment of his life, he created a huge variable that even Alice didn''t expect. Hisst legacy, created by creating a new algorithm on his own that was neither intentional nor concocted. And Jaeyoung, who was watching it, as well as Tan and El, the rulers of the underworld and heaven, were also making indescribable expressions. Wow... this... really... isnt it a joke? I don''t know if it''s because it''s an existence that has lived through eternity, but... It''s an amazing thing. The world is said to be something to live for a long time and see, but it seems that people see a lot of really strange things in theirter years. The two of them are muttering while staring at the object in Jaeyoung''s hand as if it is very strange. They tried not to show it for a while, but the greed and possessiveness felt in Tan and L''s eyes was so intense that they couldn''t hide it even if they tried hard. [Eternal Heart - ???] The heart of a dragon that has lived through endless time since the beginning of time. Beyond the limit of lifespan, itpletely transcended its status in the mana umted in the infinite flow of time. There is only one, and it is an object beyondmon sense that cannot be found even in mythology that will never exist again. It is a valuable magical material that anyone would pay any price to obtain. -???? -???? -???? It is a super-ss material with strong power and high prestige that can be said to be absolutely necessary to make a weapon containing the power of a god. It turns ordinary people into heroes with genius talents just by eating it, and any artifact works permanently. A permanent engine with tremendous output and mana that makes it possible to dragon heart. In particr, the heart of an ancient dragon level or higher in intact condition is so rare that even transcendent deities such as Tan and El were treated as precious enough to reveal their greed, but Declen''s legacy in Jae-young''s hands is evenpared to those things. It was so different that it couldn''t be done. Woo woo woo woo. Items outside of the standard for which the grade itself is not determined. The dense mana that spreads softly within it and the infinite mana sleeping in its heart were stimting El and Tan... and Goldrian''s instincts like crazy. Want.'' With that alone... we''ll be able topletely seize the initiative in Arcadia.'' I can''t believe it..... How can Dragon Heart go like that...'' The appearance of an object with tremendous potential topletely overturn the power structure of Arcadia. If Jaeyoung had been an ordinary human a little longer, he might have stabbed him in the back of the head. However, Jaeyoung''s reaction, holding the infinite essence of mana in his hand, was nd. Hmm... It must be useful. Jaeyoung treats japtem and throws it into the inventory. Tan and El were surprised by his reaction and made all sorts of fuss. Hey, master. What do you mean by looking at such a valuable treasure? It''s not good enough. Anyone would go to war to get one of them? What are you overdoing? Its just a good quality dragon heart. Kervenian''s Heart or Declen''s Heart. It''s just a material item that has no use for itself anyway. That''s why Jaeyoung wasn''t particrly impressed, but Tan and L spoke more seriously than ever. Master, the mana in his heart... its different from other lizards. What is different? I''ll have to check more on the exact thing, but... there''s no limit to magic power. I''m not joking or exaggerating... I think it literally has infinite power. infinite. Infinite. Notmon rhetoric or exaggeration, but infinite mana with no end. Contrary to expressing the mana contained in the heart of an ancient dragon as infinite, Declen''s heart, which had truly infinite mana, was theoretically an object that could make everything impossible possible. If you have that, you can use the 9th circle magic just like the 1st circle. It means that it can handle any powerful output and any enormous mana. that''s right. Besides, if you use that heart to create a divine instrument, there probably won''t be any problems even if you activate the power dozens or hundreds of times. Do you know how ridiculous that situation is? Tan and El believe that they will be able to indiscriminately use the catastrophic transcendental magic thatpletely destroys a continent, and the power that is no different from that of a god possessing divine powers without any restrictions. And at that, Jaeyoung nodded his head as if he wasn''t interested. Whatever it is, it''s just a really good ingredient, right? I''ll refer to it, so stop worrying about it for now. Right now, that doesn''t matter. The two of them are not interested in chanting and staring at the ashes. However, the most urgent thing for Jaeyoung right now was to deal with the three remaining disasters, so he turned his head to Goldrian, who was stuck in the corner, nkly. Would you like to talk to me instead of standing still with such a bewildered face? [.....] Uhhhhh. When asked to have a conversation, Goldrian''s whole body shone with a pure white glow. And soon, a pale golden handsome man appeared in front of Jaeyoung. Who are you.... Declen, who spewed hatred for everyone except himself. I don''t know what the reason is, but the fact that he suddenlypletely gave up his heart, which was no different from everything, at the moment of facing his end was so confusing. Why did that light dragon give you a heart? What did you talk about... The story we shared openly and proudly in front of him, as well as Tan and L. But no one was really aware of the story. Even the absolutes of this world with transcendental power and divinity were mere characters and constituents who were assigned their own roles in this world of illusions... so they couldn''t escape the limits. Its a story you dont need to know. It''s a story that''s not nutritious and doesn''t do anything good for you to know. ...? Goldrian looked at Jaeyoung muttering softly with a bitter expression as if he couldn''t understand it. However, as if he did not like the awkward airflow, he shook his head slightly from side to side and thanked him. First of all.... Whatever it is, I have to say thank you first. Declen, the scourge of all dragons and the destroying dragon that will destroy this world. As the head of a noble and great n, I express my heartfelt gratitude to you for killing him on behalf of us, the guardians of Arcadia. Originally, it was a noble mission and mission that they would have had to step out and carry out. However, on the contrary, since he was in danger of being brutally beaten by him and even forcibly ripping out his heart, Goldrian muttered within a moment with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. Including the one that saved my life... A race of dragons known for being proud and arrogant. It was an unprecedented feat for the Lord, who was known to be the best among them, to express his gratitude to a mere human. If he had been at the level of a normal warrior, he would have made all kinds of fuss about his family''s glory and the continent''s glory, but to Jae-young, his words were just words of mouth. With your bare mouth? ...? Sure~ Im in a situation where you and all the other dragons have been saved from this huge crisis, arent you trying to say thank you so much here? A human with an expression that is not at all satisfied with his gratitude. Goldrian, taken aback by the questioning tone of saying that he had to give something up, froze in a daze as if the ident had stopped for a moment. To be honest... Do you know how much of a probability I wasted trying to save you? Just because I activated the right tomand once, it was reduced to a level that sounded almost a billion. It''s worth doing just that one thing, but honestly, trying to get over it by just saying thank you so much... isn''t it a bit too conscienceless? Jae-Young''s quiet tone calls for a reward while talking about conscience. Then, he nced at the Archangel and the Demon King who were watching the situation from the side, and as if they had waited, they took his side and started attacking Goldrian. Didnt you know the owner? Originally, lizards are selfish, so I dont care about that. A fair pricees with a fair price. Even from my point of view, I think we should receive reasonablepensation ording to our help. A joint attack by the Archangel and the Demon King. It was a bizarre situation that he couldn''t understand why the two got along so well, but Goldrian sighed with a tired face and said. Okay, human. what is your wish Let me listen to anything. really? But it has to be something I can do. You know I shouldn''t be asking for something outrageous like giving up my heart, right? Goldrian to say whatever you want. And at that, Jaeyoung smiled and asked. The disaster that is spreading across Arcadia right now... you know that this isnt the only one, right? ...Why are you asking that? In my heart, I want to take care of everything myself. But maybe you already expected that, and those damn bastards have already written their numbers, so you can''t intervene? A proviso that only one catastrophe can intervene. Because of that, Jaeyoung was in a situation where an abnormal condition was imposed. [Caught in the status abnormal resting warrior''.] [All attack judgments are applied as invincible'' limited to other disasters.] A situation where you can''t directly deal with the disaster in any way. Therefore, Jaeyoung looked at Goldrian in front of him with a strangely evil smile in order to deal with other disasters in a peaceful'' way as in the past. You also intervened to catch Declen, so you''re probably in the same situation as me...but aren''t the others? You human beings...? Goldrian, who roughly guessed Jaeyoung''s intentions. Looking at his wide, golden eyes, Jaeyoung said. Activate themand authority you have as a Lord. Whether it''s sleeping in theirir or a fledgling lizard that''s just out of hatchling season, I''m going to scrape together all the guys I can and get them involved in this war somehow. A dragon drowning in infinite selfishness. Those who invade their territory or never step into a situation where they have to suffer loss or sacrifice unless it is unavoidable. And Jaeyoung was demanding Goldrian, who had the right tomand the mission to force them. Everyonee out and do everything in your power to prevent this cmity. That is my wish. The guardian of Arcadia and the world''s most powerful dragon. It is to fulfill the original mission assigned to them. Chapter 457 Chapter 457 User Development (1) An observer who contemtes and analyzes everything in Arcadia. He is an enforcer who applies everything that changes in countless narratives. A quiet recluse who does not reveal his true identity under any circumstances. AI Alice. Recently, she was faithfully performing her original duties despite the overload of logic and calction circuits operating more fiercely than ever amidst a conflict between her creator and administrators with the highest authority. [hey! How do you see this breaking the rules? He said it would be fine if he didn''t intervene directly!] Jack, Arcadia''s top developer and creator, shouted in an angry tone. And his opponent, the top manager and the owner of the ck Mist, Minsu, was shaking his head and expressing his strong opposition to Jack''s opinion. No. How is it that you attract all the dragons who are the most powerful in the world in name and color like that? This is clearly involved in another catastrophe. [You don''t have to go out and deal with the disaster yourself. So, after you agreed to limit the remaining disasters to the method of applying invincibility, where is thew to change your words now?] A hero who takes a break from abnormal conditions. A powerful setting andw that applies collectively to all those who have cleared the disaster. He was preventing Jae-young and others from being able to act as a solver beyond a state that could not be lifted in any way, but he was intervening in another disaster in apletely different way. What do you think, Alice? Is this correct? [That''s right, Alice. you decide Do you think this should be blocked too?] Two managers arguing fiercely with each other and then asking themselves toe to a conclusion about the situation. Alice, who was silent for a moment at the question of the two, began to analyze the problem using her own value judgment algorithm. [It is clear that anyone can only intervene in one catastrophe. In addition, the user''s actions may have different results depending on the subject of judgment, but the will to intervene in other disasters clearly exists, and the dragon''s intervention is a result of it.] Isn''t it ? right? Is this against the rules? When Min-soo says something in his favor, Min-soo smiles with a repentant smile. But Alice''s words continued as if they hadn''t finished yet. [However, the user has already had a status ailment applied to limit intervention. The intention of the intervention is established, albeit indirectly, but the act itself is not direct. Lastly, considering the fact that there is a promise not to apply additional unfavorable patches to the user, it is judged that it is unfair to apply additional restrictions.] What...? Alice raised Jack''s hand, giving all sorts of reasons. At her decision, Min-soo stood in a daze with a bewildered expression, as if at a loss for words, and soon frowned and questioned. Are you going to admit this? Rather... What is thest reason? What assurance? [Please check rted data.] Jukchang Daejeon, an ambitious event prepared by Arcadia Korean branch. Minsu, who was examining the atrocities of Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who made all kinds of unreasonable patches for the sole purpose of eliminating Dex in the past, questioned with a ridiculous face. So... in the fucking event of that bamboo spear or whatever, you made a sniper patch for that guy 3 times on your own authority, and you promised there would never be a sniper patch like this again after that? [Yes.] Arcadia''s final weapon, the bamboo spear, that should never... and never appear again. After confirming what President Lee Mi-yeon personally handed over for the forbidden weapon, which had to be destroyed at any cost, Min-soo put on a ridiculous expression andughed out loud. Huh..... Really... A result that no one expected from an incident in the past. Seeing this, Ellis gave a consoling word to Minsu, who kept spitting out his voice in disbelief. [However, it is judged that there is some validity in the manager''s opinion. Therefore, I will limit the disasters that dragons can intervene to only one.] Elise''s story is that she will prevent only one disaster, not all disasters. Even when he said that he would take measures to prevent the first disaster from ending so ndly, Minsu did not respond. He just smiled at Jaeyoung as he quietly escaped the trap he had set for himself. Its fun. Jae-young shows crazy y thatpletely deviate from his expectations. Looking at him like that, Minsu suddenly chuckled andughed. That guy... Now that I look at it, hespletely the same kind as me. [what....? What the hell are you talking about?] Jack asked back, startled by that statement. Minsu asked him with a smile on his face. it is not so? What you do or how you think. You look exactly like me? Even if grace is forgotten, resentment multiplied a hundredfold. Be sure to shove a huge and bulky candy into the snout of the person who fucked me. Jae-young is practicing what he does in reality in virtual reality. I didn''t feel it when I just looked at the record, but Minsu, who watched his y directly, was convinced. That Jaeyoung''s existence is no different from herself in virtual reality. Lets try it, and who will groan with a lot of taffy stuck in their mouths? So Minsu stared at the monitor with a sly smile on his face for a long time. Without even being aware of Jack, who was staring at him so pathetically. [Really... that bastard is a crazy bastard.....] Anyway, it was a Jagangducheon fight that I couldn''t bear to look at. * * * [You chose the northern disaster.] [The guardians of Arcadia begin to move in earnest to stop the mysterious gue spreading in the northern part of the continent.] [Progress rate.... 0%] Talk with Goldrian A selection window that suddenly popped up during a conversation. Restricted to being able to deal with only one disaster, Jaeyoung thought for a while before choosing the northern part. good night. Let our n take responsibility and prevent the disaster that is happening in the north. Then, Goldrian, who had been having a deep conversation until just now, put on a hazy expression for a moment, then spit out lines as if someone hadposed them, and then disappeared without a trace. Hmm... This is something that blocks things like this. It looks like someone intervened from behind. However, since it was still notpletely blocked and the situation was limited to one disaster, Jaeyoung was satisfied, but still bit his lips as if he was a bit regretful. Oh... it would have been nice if I could hit all the other disasters as well. It''s a waste. A situation in which the most effective way to deal with the rest of the disasters must be wasted on one. However, Jaeyoung looked at the clearing conditions for the remaining two disasters, moving his hands as if it were not such a serious problem. Removal of the Chimera Queen.... Eliminate the Leviathan... Jaeyoung, who knew the rough situation a long time ago due to the amount of information pouring into Arfandia. That''s why he urately grasped the nature of the other two disasters. Is it a single object that is filthy strong or a group object that is enormous in quantity... that is the problem. Jae-young struggles with which disaster needs to be resolved most urgently. But it didn''t take long to make that decision. okay. We deal with it from the west. Jae-young mumbles something to herself, then flicks her hands and goes west. At his words, El asked with a strangely curious face. What the hell are you trying to do? what? Dex-samas role is already over. I dont know about others, but I see it clearly in my eyes. An L who has the power to read the flow of this world invisible to anyone. Jae-young, who can be seen in the pioneering perspective of thew of causality, is constrained by a huge restriction that he can never escape. As of now, we cannot prevent disasters that are happening in other areas. An absolutew, a fact determined by the setting of this world. No matter how powerful he is, it is a powerful restriction that can never be countered, so L told Jae-young as if it was a waste of time. Now I have no choice but to watch. Believing that another hero will be born that others will prevent another disaster like Dex-sama. You cannot save this world alone. A final scenario that must be prevented in the end in a tragedy dotted with blood and tears as countless people despair and despair and grow up in the endless mud. end. Even if he seeds in surviving in the end, looking at Jae-young, who single-handedly prevents this grueling fight in which he has to endure countless sacrifices and damages, L puts on a sadder expression than ever before and speaks as if consoling him. This fight is not for Dex-sama. It''s the lot of others... many adventurers just like Dex. Dont just try to shoulder everything by yourself. L. to leave it to others and take a break. However, at her words, Jaeyoung smiled and replied. El seems to be misunderstanding something, but I have no intention ofing to the fore at all. yes....? Even if Jaeyoung flew to the west and jumped into the middle of the Chimera group, he couldn''t do any harm anyway because of the invincibility judgment. He had no intention of wasting it pointlessly like that in the current situation where he had to save the probability as much as possible. Like you said, the rest of the shit should be taken care of by the others. Do you think I''m crazy? what kind of babysitter am i? Seating should also be done in moderation. If you do too much, you''ll just get into a bad habit. yes....? There is something like that. Thats why, whether its a top or a bot, sometimes they intentionally neglect it to be strong. A method often used when training other team members in the League of Legends in the past. Just like a lion dropping its cubs off a cliff, Jaeyoung nned to intentionally leave them unattended, with a lot of heart for them to grow brave and strong in harsh and harsh trials. What do you mean, master? So you''re saying you''re helping? When Tan, who did not understand his deep meaning at all, asked with a look of confusion, Jae-young answered with an evil smile. If you help me, I will help you. Just roll it to a harsh level and make it clean up the shit on its own. They say that teaching how to fish is more helpful than giving them a fish, right? ...What does that mean? Woo woo woo woo. And the mighty probability that rises from his body. As a tremendous amount of gray energy emanated and began to control the huge causal flow of Arcadia, El and Tan could not keep their mouths shut at the wonderful phenomenon they had never seen before. First of all, we have to make all the adventurers who are hiding everywheree out. Even if I die when I die, I can''t get enough of it without poking a spoon at least once. No freerider will be tolerated in order to prevent this great catastrophe. Users who have already given up on a lot of scenarios and just wait and see, saying they can''t get any rewards or anything. In order to bring them in, Jae-Young embodied his will into the world at the cost of an enormous amount of probability. [Experience of the Chimera Corps increases by 10000%.] [Probability of 3.2 billion has been consumed.] Chapter 458 Chapter 458 User Growth (2) Arcadia has billions of users. Since most of the world''s poption was enjoying ying, the number of adventurers wandering the continent of Arcadia was enormous, but their influence was not as high as expected. - Arcadia is fun, but it''s a w that it takes too long to y. -sympathy. If you really want to y properly, you have to give up your current life and do it full-time. - It takes 3-4 days to properly explore the dungeon, even if you run full-time, but office workers can''t see it. - I should make a party only for office workers. It''s a headache if you join a full-time yer. - The game is fun, but it''s a bit disappointing that it''s too hardcore. -Be considerate of light users, you damn operator. Excluding full-time gamers who bet everything on Arcadia, office gamers who can only invest 3 to 4 hours a day and 1 to 2 hours at a minimum. Even so, there were not a small number of people who only essed it on weekends, so only a few of them had grown or established a foundation that actually had an impact on Arcadia to some extent. But... - The slime revolution. -witch hunt. - Continent integration. - Resurrection of divinity. -Invasion of machine civilization. -The Second Holy Magic War. . . . Fantastic trolling by some users who, as if they didn''t care about that situation, piled up firewood and threw the whole oil drum and set it on fire in a difficult and difficult game. As a result, in the numerous epics of Arcadia that have taken ce so far, most users were nothing more than spectators or mere extras who had to suck their fingers. -??? It''s been a hard fight, but it''s a draw? - My level is now 100, but the enemy is level 200? Are you crazy? human? -Are these bastards bringing this to break now or to die? -Ah-oh! This damn shit is real. make it hard to get a refund The basic bnce has beenpletely abandoned. 99% of users have suffered and suffered countless times as a result of going through all the scenarios that were scheduled to take ce in as short as several years and as long as ten years without considering the level and capabilities of the current users. In the end, they felt immensely tired and exhausted. To look at the sess of the privileged 1% with just envious eyes. To the appearance of an enemy with overwhelming force that even the opponent could not dare. Feeling helpless that there is nothing you can do in this world. and the result. Among these 99%, a phenomenon naturally began to appear. -Is there a ck Mng Cow who is still participating in the scenario? Ha ha ha ha ha - Ignoring the scenario and just hunting in the hunting ground is more efficient. -You can watch it live on Arfandia, but why are you crawling on that limb? -Yeah~ I''m going to make it to the level of a dog''s answer anyway. don''t go~ don''t go~ -I assure you, there is another guy again today who didn''t understand the subject and participated in the scenario, then died right away and howled madly about losing an item. learning effect. Most of the users who have died in countless scenarios and shed bloody tears while suffering enormous damage due to death penalty, let alone pay their own wages. And they made the most rational and rational decision in the midst of those painful memories and experiences. The decision to wait and see, ridiculing everyone else, announcing that he would never participate in that crazy scenario. And as a result, the final narrative that will bring the end to Arcadia has be a scenario that has been thoroughly abandoned by most adventurers. A medium-sized Countess of Asimov located in the Western Continent. Unlike other territories, this ce, which had been established as a wealthy territory thanks to its geographical advantage as an important transportation hub and plentiful grains grown in the huge in, had quite a lot of soldiers and recruited excellent knights and wizards to defend against enemy invasion. It was a ce that was thoroughly worked out. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! However, all those efforts were turnedpletely in vain by the bizarre-looking Chimera Corps that suddenly appeared filling up such a wide in one day. The Territory Army lost all its soldiers and excellent knights trained over a long period of time not in battle but in one-sided ughter. Those in the form of huge insects that seemed to be a mixture of numerous creatures rushed at them with goosebumps and screams. They were running madly towards the huge walls and gates. Kwaaang. Wow. The gate trembled with a huge roar as he swung his sharp ws like a mantis and hit the hard exoskeleton in the shape of a huge horn on his head. Originally, it was a hard and solid castle gate that would not budge no matter how huge a siege pendulum was brought and struck dozens or hundreds of times. Uzijik. Kwadeudeuk. Keugh! The defenses... the defenses are being breached! Soldiers hiding behind the gates with frightened faces. They shuddered and shouted at the sight of the chimeras visible through the cracks in the bursting-out door, seemingly unwilling to fight. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu000save me! We... are all going to die! Aaaaaaaaaaa! run away! hurry! Where are you running away! Grab your weapon and hold on to the end! Don''t you even think about your families behind us! The defenders who fell into panic in an instant and became violent. And the knights who try to calm them down somehow and keep the line. However, Count Asimov, the ruler of the estate and their ruler, who watched them, did not say anything. Just looking at those terrible monsters madly trying to enter this ce, the home of himself and everyone else... he instinctively sensed that this moment was the final moment of this territory. Aaaaaaang. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kyaaaaaaa! The castle gate exploded in two with an intense roar. And soon, hundreds of thousands of monsters, screaming and rushing at high speed, hurriedly rushed in and started their own festival. Quaaaaaaagh! Gagging...! Awesome. puddeudeuk. The ground is dyed red, and those who were alive until just now fall down in agony. Looking at the grotesque and horrendous scene of those hideous monsters devouring their flesh and bones, he turned to the sky and cursed God. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. The hell that has arrived in one''s territory. Asimov grieved as he watched the end of countless innocent vigers dying, filled with endless screams and screams of pain from all sides. I promised to be with us until the end... An immortal being from the other world and wandering Arcadia. adventurer. There were a lot of lords who didn''t like people who were just vagrants with nothing, but because it was a huge and economically sound territory, Asimov promoted a lot of policies that were quite friendly to these adventurers. That''s why his county was always crowded with countless adventurers and was always full of energy. Until these bizarre monsters appeared... I really envy you..... The fact that you can escape from this hell... Adventurers who suddenly disappeared one day. Seeing that the guilds that had promised to do everything in their power to protect his territory also disappeared overnight, Asimov realized that he and his territory had been abandoned. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! A chimera found Asimov standing nkly gazing at the sky. He just watched as the monster screamed and ran, staring nkly at the giant ws flying towards him, and then let out thest words helplessly. And you are so resentful. Cowardly cowards who fled from disaster. In the midst of Count Asimov''s heartfelt resentment and despair mixed with sighs, a territory in the western continent hadpletely disappeared. Whilepletely abandoned by countless adventurers in a huge narrative that is sweeping across the continent of Arcadia. * * * The Western Continent where tragedies like Count Asimov''s are happening everywhere. Because of 99% of the adventurers who had deserted en masse, all damage was concentrated on NPCs whopletely disappeared with a single death, and the damage was increasing out of control. If this continues, even if the catastrophe is prevented, the entire Western Continent could copse to an irreversible level. However, even in such a gloomy situation, there were definitely very few users who risked death. Heuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Verus, a level 120 archer holding a bow with a very nervous face. He suppressed his trembling body with all his might, facing a chimera with a terrifying appearance straight out of a horror movie. Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrered by the chimera, saliva dripped from its mouth full of sharp teeth and rolled its five eyes here and there in search of the chimera. He wanted to run away right now, but Verus couldn''t. Look... Verus... Now I''m wrong. An old man lying down with a fatal wound, as if he had already been attacked by a chimera. He called out to Verus in a weak voice and urged him to run away. An enemy you dare not face. Don''t waste your precious life in vain just because of an old man who lived enough to live for nothing. Stop talking nonsense! This damn grandpa! Anyway, even if I search, I wille back to life! did you forget? Verus screamed in a fit of anger at being told to abandon himself and run away. But at his words, the old man said with a strangely sad smile. Even if he is resurrected, it doesnt mean that his life isnt very precious. Didn''t youe to me before andin a lot about death? death penalty. 24-hour ess restrictions, items that reduce experience and skill proficiency, loss of gold, etc... A system in which the recovery cost and time increase exponentially as the level increases. That''s why the death of Verus at level 120 was an iparably huge losspared to saving one NPC''s life, but he couldn''t choose such an inhuman option. X foot! Even if you search, it''s better to fight and search. They said that if I abandoned Grandpa and ran away, I would be like X the whole time! Verus'' distant beginner days. A snarky old NPC that we met by chance and have been interacting with frequently ever since. He was just an old man enjoying a walk around town, not giving out any quests or items, but to Verus, he was a friendly grandfather who always greeted him. die! You damn bug! Kyaaaaaaaaaa! Wow. puffy. That''s why, prepared to die, Verus started a one-on-one fight with the Chimera. He was an archer who had a disadvantage in closebat, so he shot arrows from the maximum distance, but Chimera''s basic abilities overwhelmed him. Keuuugh... Unlike how it looks, it''s filthy fast! Woo woo woo. But... as soon as his ne began to emit a soft light, the arrows on the bow string began to have a strange power. [The Shrine of Amelia''s Belief] An epic essory found in an ancient ruin discovered by chance. Activating the power contained in the item, Verus shouted as if praying with all his might. Please search in one room! You bastard! [Vital Point Hit] [Explosion Poem] An arrow imbued with power that locks itself in the vital point of a single entity and causes a huge explosion at the same time. His most powerful special move, a secret that can only be triggered once a week, mmed into Chimera''s face and exploded in a huge explosion. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The Chimera''s bodily fluids and head fragments were split into hundreds and thousands of pieces and sttered out in all directions. And soon after seeing the powerless body, Verus let out a sigh of relief. Phew..... Really... I almost fell behind. He''s just d he survived. However, Verus'' expression showed a sense of bewilderment at the message that filled his eyes. [You have killed the Chimera.] [Your level has risen] [Your level has risen] [Your level has risen] [Your level has risen] [Your level has risen] [ Your level has risen] [ The level has risen.] . . . [The skill Emergency Evasion has risen to rank 5] [The skill Rapid Fire has risen to rank 4] [The skill Arrow Mastery has risen to rank 7] . . . level. skill proficiency. The situation where it all went up to the point of nonsense. He stared nkly at it for a long time before uttering a single word. Eh? Chapter 459 Chapter 459 User Development (3) Originally, Arcadia was not a game. A virtual world born from the intense aspirations and imaginations of humans who simply cannot experience the world. Therefore, in order to recognize this world as a game, various preliminary work had to be done first. Team leader, between level 99 and level 100... I checked, but isnt this exponentially increasing the amount of experience required? No, basically, when you reach level 100, the 2nd ss awakening of general jobs takes ce. If you think of it as a kind of wall'', this much is reasonable. How much of a difference in basic stats should be left for each item grade? Eh... Let''s discuss it up to the epic level, but it''s not our right to go beyond that. Have you finished reviewing the setting levels and abilities of each monster? Ah yes. Except for some boss monsters, it''s almost finished. Abilities of monsters. drop item. earned experience. The amount of experience required for each level. Skill proficiency..... The management of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who nned and put numerous game elements into one world. Except for the things that Jack and Minsu specially nned.... They looked at all the trivial but huge amounts of things one by one, and considered dozens and hundreds ofplex issues, and spent all day and night racking their brains. And thanks to their tearful efforts, the bnce of the game called Arcadia was meticulous and sophisticated, and it was close to a work of art that was close to perfection. Of course, the delicate bnce they created with great care had already been broken a long time ago. Woo woo woo. A power that wields a powerful influence over the entire virtual world, as well as a power that twists all causes and effects and interferes with the fundamental settings that make up this world. probability. Making nonsense into sense. The powerful force that allowed them to deny the definite destiny that had already been set and forge apletely new destiny began to change the basic settings of the chimeras that had spread throughout the vast western continent of Arcadia. [Experience of Chimeras has increased by 10000%.] 10000%. 100 times. Chimera''s original abilities, levels, and skills did not change, and only the experience increased explosively. And users'' reactions to the change were immediate everywhere. Eh? What... is this... The level has risen...? already....? Are you bugeun...? Users tilted their heads as they saw the message repeatedly appearing that they had leveled up in an instant even though they hadn''t even caught a few. They made an absurd expression, wondering if there was some error, but soon after killing the chimeras with a dubious expression, when such a phenomenon began to appear repeatedly, they began to feel this strange change clearly. What is this..... Experience... has increased...? The level of one normal Chimera is 150. Considering that elites or those with special skills or abilities are between level 180 and 200, the number of adventurers who can easily defeat them 1:1 is not so small, but did not And... by those who participated in this scenario with their own purposes and were fighting, the fact quickly spread to everyone. - Urgent Breaking News. Western Scenario EXP abnormalities ur. - Abnormal experience gained by Chimeras. is it a bug? Verus wrote to inform this amazing fact he experienced faster than anyone else. And he was making a lot of fuss and recounting the facts of his experience. [Because I''m level 120? But somehow, I ended up catching a chimera. I only caught one, but the level went up by 12. In addition, all the major skills that didnt go up filthy no matter how hard I tried, all rank up. Wow..... I couldn''t believe it even after seeing it, so I checked it dozens of times and it''s real. Guys, quickly ess the game now and drink honey. These chimeras are awesome.] He urges me to go into the game without dy and catch the chimeras and kill them. However, in the huge scale of Arpandia, where hundreds of millions of posts are uploaded every day, there were not one or two cases of turning off aggro in this way, so their sincere reports were literally buried in the blink of an eye while receiving all sorts of ridicule and sarcasm. . -lol. Users don''t participate in the scenario, so now they''re doing all the shit. -Hmm..... My score is 20 points. It''s novel, but it''s so silly. Aggro isn''t that bad. - It doesn''t make sense to catch a level 150 chimera with 120 subjects in the first ce. -Is this an ulterior motive to lure and kill unsuspecting and naive users? Are you a satanic bastard? Bullshit that even a 9-year-old elementary school student wouldn''t believe. Users who tried to dismiss it as a joke and tried to ignore it soon saw a video that came up faster than anything else in the tough and harsh video rankings of Arfandia. [How to get 150 to 250 in an hour.] - What is this...? - Does it make sense? How to raise 100 levels in an hour. 250 levels. Considering that the current average user level was not even close to 200, level 250 was a level that only the so-called 1% top rankers had reached. A level that can be reached only by investing a considerable amount of time, as well as a huge amount of money, effort and luck. In other words, it was a realistically impossible challenge to achieve in an hour, so no one who saw the title of the video for the first time thought it was true. Until you go through the process one by one yourself..... [Ahh! Strike Fist!] A level 150 fistfighter who jumps into the battlefield full of chimeras by preemptively activating attack skills. And each user watching the scene spat out augh. -What..... It''s just running to die. - Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Kwon-sa makes an ignorant charge like that without a backup? In 1:1 battles, it shows decent performance and fighting power, but it is an absolute disadvantage in one-to-many fighting ss fighters. It was an unfavorable situation in which the limitations and shorings of the profession were clearly revealed in such a collective battle, but whether he knew it or not, he was pouring out all the skills he could use and thoroughly crushing a single Chimera into chunks of meat. [Kee Ee Ee!] [Kek ..... Kye hahahaha!] Give and take bones. only one fan Far from avoiding countless attacksing from all directions, to the extent that those phrases fit perfectly, he greets them all and goes wild wielding a fist. Shortly after, the enormous damage umted and he was fatally injured and was on the verge of death, but at that exquisite timing, when the chimera he was relentlessly attacking fell, he returned to a clean state with an intense glow. [Ha ha ha ha ha! Come on!] Originally, he was in a situation where he would not havested long and had to die, but he continued the dangerous battle with a boisterousugh as if it were going ording to his n. -What is that..... -Where is the bastard who fights in such an ignorant way? - Risk management is just a piece of shit. -That''s a real ignorant battle. -By the way... What is it? why don''t you follow Clearly, his fight was not in a way that couldst long. As if mana and stamina management didn''t even think about it, all kinds of powerful ultimate skills were pouring out without a break, and all avoidable attacks were hit, and they were just concentrating on killing enemies in front of them. Users who thought they would copse soon. But strangely, his ignorant and uncivilized fighting style was shining brighter than ever. [Your level has risen.] [Your health and mana have all been restored .] [ Your level has risen.] Level up system. Abusing that function, he didn''t die in the melee and continued to disy 100%bat power, growing stronger than ever in real time. [Level has risen.] [Skill Fist has risen to rank 5.] [Skill Fist Mastery has risen to rank 6.] [Skill Self-Defense has risen to rank 9.] [Skill Fist has risen to rank 8. It has risen.] [Skill.....] Incredible growth rate that no one could have imagined. He was only enough to catch one with all his might, but in less than 30 minutes, he was fighting an equal battle against dozens of chimeras alone. [Kee Ee eh!] [Kahiahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! And the appearance of the chimeras flocking around him began to change markedly from before. [Lv. 200 Combat Tongs] [Lv. 180 Infectious Insects] [Lv. 210 Bomb Dust] The appearance of elite Chimeras with all kinds of special and powerful skills. Originally, they were powerful individuals who would run away in anger, but no negative emotions could be found in the facial expressions of the chief idols of the North Star facing them. No, on the contrary, he was smiling brightly. [Come on! Come all! These lovely chunks of experience points!] [Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! Whoops! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa!] A fierce battle with huge explosions erupting everywhere due to all kinds of skills along with a tremendous roar. It was a pretty unfavorable match in one versus many, but Bukdu''s chief idol had his own item skill system.... He was pouring everything into this battle as if he were living only today, mobilizing all means and methods. And... the cost of his grueling battle was immediate and so sweet. [The level has risen.] [The level has risen.] [Skill Fist Mastery has risen to rank 5.] [The will of the skill fighter has risen to rank 8] . . . In a fierce life-or-death battle, constantly knocking on his limits without rest... He continued to grow and be stronger. It''s called the so-called wall'', and I didn''t sleep properly for two or three months, and I had to hunt for the whole time to raise the level section so much that I broke it to the point of futility. The reckless battle in which he risked death, in return, grew and grew him at an incredible speed that no one dared to chase. In the end... His crazy growth rate eventually slowed down and reached its limit, but he was still smiling at the moment when he was ughtered and killed by hundreds and thousands of chimeras. [I did it!] [Lv. 250] He reached level 150 to 250 in less than an hour. Not just the level, but everyone who saw his incredible feat of raising the ranks of numerous skills by several steps hurriedly entered his capsule as if he had made a promise. In this way, a new hunting method became fashionable in Arcadia. A hunting method that oxidizes fiercely by defeating as many enemies as possible until thest moment when they are defeated at the risk of death. The suicide meta. Chapter 460 Chapter 460 User Development (4) Suicide meta. The way that Bukdu''s Jjang-dol started with the ridiculous entricity first shown in a video. It was a simple yet incredibly ignorant... hunting method at a level where kong dominated the head. [Fight until death.] [Even if you kill just one guy, it''s good.] [Even if you can''t kill, fight as hard as you can until you die.] He jumped into the middle of enemy lines and fought over and over again without stopping until the moment he died. In the end, after seeing his feat of raising the level to 100 in just one hour and creating a new legend, numerous users jumped into Arcadia and ran to the western continent, but among them, almost no one followed the leader of the North Star. -Why do you have to be so ignorant? You can''t just party and fight. -that''s right. Wouldn''t it be better to eat one by one safely than to eat within 24 hours? - It''s true that it''s really great, but it seems like it''s true that the method is stupid. Rather than hunting alone, with an existing party... Or those who formed a formation with guild members to subdue the Chimeras. And soon, they smiled with joy at the tremendous experience points given by the chimeras, but soon they noticed one strange thing and hardened theirplexions. what....? The level goes up like crazy... but the skill proficiency doesn''t go up? really. If you do this, the level is just high, but in the end, its no different from chaff. Oh what is it? Isn''t this rather bad? Skill training bes more difficultter on. Arcadia''s skill proficiency system, in which various penalties are added to skill training as the level increases. That''s why it was worse than not doing it, just abnormally increasing the level without raising the skill rank. That''s why Arcadia, where the so-called Dup'' culture doesn''t even exist, where experience points are shared by simply ignorant hunting. There was no one who didn''t know this basicmon sense, so they were just wondering why their skill proficiency didn''t go up. -Jjangdol of the North Star rises very fast, right? Why did it rise like that? -Is the skill proficiency value not calibrated? What is a bug? - What the hell is different? It''s like catching a chimera. People who constantly tilt their heads while looking at a phenomenon they cannot understand. However, there was someone else who gave the answer to that question. [Why are you afraid of death first?] The Freizen Empire, which was located at the center of the Western Continent in the past. It was an empire that boasted the strongest national power and had an enormous poption, so it was the first to face the disaster of the chimeras and was destroyed. Casis was asking everyone with the broadcast turned on at the ce where the main habitat of the Chimeras and the residence of their ruler, the Queen, was located. [In a world where you don''t have to fear death, why are you afraid of dying more than anyone else and trying to run away like a coward?] A fantasy world in which death is not the end. That''s why I had to take on impossible challenges more than ever without fear of failure, but most of them couldn''t. And he was talking like a scolding, as if he couldn''t understand them. [Humans only grow when they face a huge wall they cannot handle.] One to hundreds of thousands. Alone, he went to the center of the chimera colony and looked at the immeasurable army of chimeras flying towards him from all sides, and he raised his sword with an unwavering expression. [Frustrated, defeated, despaired, sad, angry... It''s painful enough to die.] [If you don''t give up and stand up to the end and knock on the wall and try to ovee your limits...] It''s beautiful. Even in the endless waves of monsters with no way to escape, he stands confidently, shining his nobility without being shaken. Around him, sometimes softly, sometimes ruthlessly, sometimes elegantly, sometimes harshly. Thousands of intangible weapons that fly like crazy and do not allow any invasion. In the scene of the terrible monsters that seemed to eat him in an instant fall, his figure reflected in the huge moonlight was breathtakingly dreamy, beautiful, and radiant. An ascetic who endlessly challenges and challenges again for the sake of his limits. Proving his words proudly and performing a new astounding feat in front of everyone, he was clearly exhausted, but his still-living eyes shone among the fragments of the chimeras falling to the ground in pitch ck, telling everyone about their lives. was telling me the problem. [Fight to the death. Don''t expect help from others, just risk everything to ovee your own limitations and do your best to break down the wall.] He was preaching to everyone for the first time. [It''s okay if you can''t jump over it. It''s okay if you can''t break it. If you just don''t give up in front of him and burn everything you have until the moment your flesh bursts, blood flows, muscles are crushed and bones are exposed...] [Only then will you be able to gain enlightenment and grow. ] In this way, a hidden setting of Arcadia, which had never been revealed to the public by Casis and the chief idol of the North Star, was revealed. [Sudden increase in sync rate detected. Fever mode activated.] [Added skill proficiency correction. Combatpensation adjustment.....] Going beyond one''s limits... Fever Mode, which is activated very asionally or in extreme battles with everything staked. That is the reality of the phenomenal growth shown by the top idols of the North Star, and the simple, ignorant suicide meta is the most efficient and ideal way to awaken. So, one by one, the adventurers risked their all to fight against this disaster. Confronting one''s own limitations... and confronting a huge catastrophe that is consuming this beautiful world of fantasy. * * * Oh. Is it going as the real owner said? I told you. It''s not that these guys aren''t capable. It was just that things didn''t work out the way he wanted, so he threw it out saying he was going to open a mid-season. At times like these, you need to grow up and soothe yourself. By giving hope that if you work hard, maybe you can win. 100x increase in experience. An unprecedented event that will never happen again. Jaeyoung knows better than anyone else that there is absolutely no user who would just watch and leave this golden opportunity topletely overturn the existing game in a single moment, so Jaeyoung took the enormous loss of probability of 3.2 billion and said this nonsense. have done what Ohhh..... It gives me hope and makes me not give up somehow..... I think this is a little simr to what the owner said about taming humans before? Am I right? As if impressed by something, Tan took out the ck scroll and scribbled something bloody. In response to his sincere question, Jaeyoung asked back with an absurd look on his face. what....? Jaeyoung''s eyes seemed to be questioning, as if he was asking when the hell did he make the monstrous remark of training. Isn''t this the burn in his strangely stinging eyes? With a smile on his face, he rummaged through the scrolls. is not it? Oh, then, is that the dog and pig you mentioned the other day that you feed and raise? ...When did I say that to you... Isn''t this also? Or like thest time we made humans ves in coal mines... I can''t. Hey, give me that damn scroll. I just have to burn it all down right now. What are you doing! no way! This is a very exemry textbook that will be blood and flesh for future generations of demons! Is this really... Who is making me into such a vicious bastard? The owner, to be honest, the owner is vicious. what....? Ah no, I''ve said it before, but I''ve never seen a vicious, filthy, and despicable person like my master, even during that long, long life of evil... Evil! I can''t even die! I can''t give it up! Dont talk, give it up. Just burn it without a trace. I won''t see you any more. no! no! evil! evil! Satan, the demon king of chaos, the ruler of the demon realm. Jae-young grabs him by the nape of his neck with both hands and shakes him roughly. El, who had been silently watching this bizarre scene the two were creating, felt a deep sense of irony as he looked at the gigantic causal storm that was reflected in his eyes. It''s changing again...'' I couldn''t read the direction and ending, but something huge was changing again. adventurer. One day, a being from another world suddenly appears in Arcadia and wanders freely everywhere. In fact, the eyes of the people in Arcadia, who were looking at those who wandered the world freely without being tied to any particr country or group, were actually not very kind. Haa... on earth, do you think that only adventurers will cause big problems in the vige? Why did God bring them into our world? Ugh. You can''t kill them, really... Those who disregard general vige rules andws, cause big and small idents, and cause great damage to viges and cities. Not all of them were like that, but the number of people who harbored animosity toward these adventurers was increasing little by little because of a very small number of users who did absurd things and caused all sorts of ridiculous harm. But... those who were blessed by the Creator and were born with the power of immortality. Even if they die, they do not die and are resurrected ande back to Arcadia, so they eventually had no choice but to make a decision for coexistence and coexistence. [Continentalw] Thus began an ufortable cohabitation with the natives who lived in Arcadia and the adventurers who suddenly appeared and disappeared without a sound. But... unlike those who originally had this world as their everything, adventurers who have their own world. That''s why they left their homnd, which was bing more and more devastated in unbearable disasters, feeling bored with their hometown and this world. Hey. this fucking world. I won''t being for a while. Is it a disaster again? also? Ehh..... I should live in the present life. L watched the adventurers disappear one by one. She couldn''t understand everything they were saying, but she could understand one thing. For the adventurers, this world where many lives, including themselves, lived, was just a game and simple entertainment. Those who risk their lives to protect their home and the lives of those who are precious to them hold up weapons and resist until the end. It was heartbreaking for her to see the end of countless people dying in endless despair and sorrow, and that''s why she felt pure anger and hatred towards the adventurers who abandoned everything and ran away. But... she didn''t even dare to express that thought out of her mouth. He had seen firsthand how one of those adventurers he hated... changed the fate of Arcadia. Because I know how much he is doing his best to change the narrative that has gone mad in this madness. El just watched quietly. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. the world he is changing. Chapter 461 Chapter 461 User Raising (5) Five disasters released by Minsu. When the dangerous bombs nned for the second half crisis scenario were detonated at the same time. In fact, Jack and CEO Lee Mi-yeon did not expect much from other adventurers. [ording to the currently analyzed scenario, the rest of the users except for 0.1% of users will not have a significant impact.] 99.9% of users who do not expect even Alice who predicts hundreds of thousands of scenarios. Most of them had already given up on everything without making any attempt right after the final chapter began. To avoid participating in the scenario, do not log in at all. They connect, but continue to y independently unrted to the scenario.... Even those whomit all kinds of malicious sabotage to interfere with the scenario. Those who were angered by this ridiculous operation were mere extras who yed no role in the scenario of the final chapter started by Asura, the owner of the ck Mist. But... Those who were nothing more than worthless beings by Jae-young began to scream loudly about their own stories on the stage of the final chapter. [Aaaaaaaa! die! Fire de!] [Shoot! Shu Shu Shuk! Shook! Shook! Taste my twin knives!] [This is a special, top-notch magic bullet prepared with my emergency money for you guys! Come on!] [Ah! These bastards were children who couldn''tmunicate with poison. How do you say Assassin fights? What the hell!] Prosecutor. Wizard. Cannon Shooter. assassin. Archer. Warriors. Berserker. Fighting... Fighting sses that know how to fight even a little, regardless of level, high or low, jumped out from all sides and rushed into this unwinnable fight as if they had promised. Not only were they outnumbered, but the enemy Chimera was no match for them due to the level gap. But... it was a battle with no chance of victory, and the end was already decided, but even though they knew they were dying, they did not lose their smiles on their faces until thest moment. [Oh yea! Three sessful kills!] [I''ll try again tomorrow. I''ll have to double my catch tomorrow!] [Awesome! How much is your experience and skill proficiency?] [Wait, guys. See you again at this time tomorrow.] Unlike normal Arcadia NPCs, beings whose death is not the end. Those who are resurrected again in the immortal power and can continue to fight until they give up. adventurer. At first, their power was obviously weak, but as time went on, they began to grow incredibly strong, surpassing their limits and walls and reaching new heights. Tucan. Aaaaaaaaang. Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Chimera copses with her head blown off by an arrow from far away. Because it was a group consciousness, the colleagues around them who shared the whole situation tried to rush towards the ce where the arrows flew, but the speed of the arrows flying towards their foreheads was faster than their movements. Puck puck puck puck. Four arrows flew in the blink of an eye. And the arrows mmed into the center of each Chimera''s head and exploded with a huge roar. Whoa... And from far away, the archer Verus exhaled deeply and revealed himself. Originally, he was only a level 120 archer without any characteristics, but in the face of this huge disaster, Verus hadpletely changed to the extent that no one could recognize him. [Lv.239 Berus] He reached 239 in less than a week. The growth rate was not as phenomenal as that of North Star, but it had to be. Because... he wasn''t fighting for experience or growth, he was fighting to protect someone. You really have a lot of trouble, Verus. In order to protect the vige that is like his hometown where he stayed for a long time, he stays most of the 24 hours at the entrance, saving time to sleep and eat. And the old man who came to see Verus was looking at him with mixed emotions. Oh what Grandpa is not feeling well yet, so why are you walking around like this? An old man who managed to save his life right before he died by pouring a lot of recovery potions on him. Although Verus knew better than anyone else that he waspletely fine now, he deliberately gave off an expression of annoyance, waved his hands, and grumbled. Are you going to get caught and eaten by that damn bug again? Quickly hide quietly in the cabin and wait. Until this cmity is over, don''te out recklessly. A small vige that should have been lost to the chimeras a long time ago. It was just a very small vige in an area where no one would remember it, but they were still miraculously surviving in front of an adventurer''s strong will. Verus alone protects this small vige with only a few dozen members. And since he knew all this better than anyone else, the old man spoke quietly to him. Dont overdo it. what....? You did your best than any other adventurer. What the hell are you talking about... If you can''t protect our vige, it''s not your fault. There''s no need to feel guilty, there''s no reason to be sad. Just remember this one thing, Verus. An old man who speaks meaningfully as if he has intuited their future. And he said with a smile brighter than ever, as if he was worried about Verus, who would resurrect alone and mourn the death of everyone. I... and that everyone in this town truly appreciates your dedication and hard work. Ah... Mr.... why are you suddenly saying such an ominous thing! really! A momentary moment of crying and a feeling that rises to something. Verus, on the contrary, burst into anger at the old man''s words, which he couldn''t express in words, but made his heart and heart warm. Really... how is this an NPC.....'' It''s not reality. All this world is false and is just data of 0 and 1 woven with given algorithms and scripts. No matter how much he reflected on it and made up his mind, Verus could understand it with his head, but he couldn''t ept it with his heart. Like his grandfather who left a long time ago, that old man who is so friendly, warm, and always greets me with the same attitude..... The act of giving such consoling words while worrying about himself who will be sad after his death... ... how can virtual data without a soul do? and that moment. A huge roar began to be heard. Kyaaaaaaaaaagh! Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The screams of the chimeras that appeared again. Hearing that, the old man put his hand on Verus''s shoulder and spoke softly, as if he knew very well what role he had to y. Be careful. Grandfather disappeared into the vige again. Verus, who kept looking at him until he disappeared from view, quickly climbed the huge tree right next to the vige entrance and climbed to the top as quickly as possible to secure his sight. What is that... And he faced a chimera he had never seen before. [Lv.260 Colossus] A gigantic monster that appears to be several tens of meters tall and is surrounded by a level 260 hard exoskeleton. He had a hunch that a being of enormous size, capable of erasing the vige that Berus was guarding, had appeared with dozens of chimera soldiers just by rushing at it quickly. I''m going to end this war of attrition with an unmatched strong guy... The Chimera Queen seemed to know that hundreds of Chimeras were already killed by him through the Hive consciousness. This overwhelming force sent by her was a hopeless situation in which there was no chance of stopping just by looking at it, but Verus did not give up. no i couldn''t give up sigh. This damn shit manggame..... If you''re going to make NPCs, make them a bit more realistic so that they can''t give you affection... A vicious world where people''s minds are manipted and released as they please. Even though it''s virtual, he can''t bear to let go of this rtionship made in this world, so he knows that it''s an egg on a rock, but he hangs an arrow on his bow string as if he''s desperate. Activate the item. Amelia''s faith. Woo woo woo. The most powerful Epic item he has and a legacy of the power of an ancient hero. He activates that power and presses all his skills into a single arrow. He takes a deep breath carefully and pulls the bowstring. Be sure to hit it.'' pounding. The beating of the heart is heard loudly. Calmly... and urately.....'' Throbbing. A moment when you feel as if time has stopped. Although Verus did not recognize it, his brain in reality began to be activated more intensely than ever in the midst of intense desire, and at that moment, a new miracle began to unfold by Alice. [Synchronization rate surge. Fever mode activated.] [Intensive analysis mode switched. Compensation analysis ording tobat behavior...] AI Alice, the observer and adjuster of this world, began to keep an eye on him. And in that split second, she began examining everything about this adventurer caught in her sensory. An adventurer left alone. And because of that, a small vige that survived until the end. He did not go to the battlefield in the hope of protecting his precious people, but quietly and quietly killed approaching enemies by secretly and urately sniping vital points. In this special situation where the rapid growth of 100 times and the correction value of Fever Mode were also added ordingly, Alice made a decision. [Calction of correction value ording to fever mode. Required conditions met.] [Minimum stats met. Skill rank limits met...] [yer Verus. ss archer. Judgment unsuitable.] Verus reached a level that he could not dare to handle with the existing profession of an archer. His fighting style, in which he urately hits the forehead of an enemy hundreds of kilometers in front of him without even breathing and instantly kills him in a single blow... There was a marked difference from that of an ordinary archer. That''s why... Alice gave her a new job worthy of her rank, just like Angelina''s time in the past, ording to her unlimited freedom and infinite possibilities. [Ghost] A ghost, the reaper of death, who delivers a fatal blow in the shadows without the opponent recognizing it. Walking on a new path that no one else has walked, Verus, who has blossomed into his true power, looked at the change with a puzzled expression. What is this... The iprehensible messages heard in his ears at the moment he was concentrating his whole mind. And soon, the arrow hanging from the string of his bow began to be loaded with strangely powerful power. [Skill Sniper] [Skill Untraceable Trajectory] [Skill Armor Destruction] [Skill Pration Reinforcement] [Skill Spreading Death] . . . A number of new job skills were granted to him at the same time as the birth of a new job called Ghost. And as the effect of that skill began to dwell on the arrows that had not yet been shot, his expression changed moment by moment. surprise. Perplexity. mystery. wonder. And... soon, an unknown smile began to spread across his face. under..... This game... I didn''t like the game because it always seemed like it was trying to piss me off. However, in this ironic situation where he seemed to be saving himself at the moment of desperate crisis, heughed and muttered at this strange feeling he felt for the first time. It''s fun..... And the arrow that flies at high speed from the bowstring. The moment it locks itself in the vital spot right in the center of that giant monster''s head. Another new hero was born in Arcadia. Chapter 462 Chapter 462 User Raising (6) Everyone''s Enemy. Axis of Evil. Satan''sir..... Apany that is often described with countless negative expressions that exist besides that. Arcadia Co., Ltd. Thepany itself was a newpany that had been established less than 5 years ago, but in the midst of the numerous atrocities and karma they hadmitted, they were being reborn as the world''s most evilpany, receiving criticism that no otherpany had ever tasted before. [Users, shut up and follow what we, the operator, do. Wouldn''t this be some kind of bullshit? How long do we have to wait for apany that provides services to ignore the will of consumers and run it like this? ] Let''s nationalize Arcadia, which monopolizes virtual reality technology andmits all kinds of evil! To that extent, the hatred and resentment of the users against thepany was deeply rooted. However, just like how a vicious guy usually does a good job once, it makes a big impression... Those who tasted the sweet feed of those who sprinkled it for the first time, unknowingly, all that anger was quickly disappearing like snow melting. Hey, why is thepany so quiet these days? Normally, the protesters would create a situation where no one could go home with guerri protests aimed only at work hours. I have often been unable to go home because of their violent sabotage, but strangely, I have not experienced such a situation recently. It seems everyone is busy ying games. Yeah..... Well, when Ie out here and protest, I will move to the West and eat as much as I can? An employee who licked his lips and nodded at his colleague''s intive answer. And he seemed to be thinking about something, and then suddenly smiled as if he was dumbfounded. By the way... isnt 100 times too much? Should I call this crazy..... should I call it amazing... An anomaly that appeared in the Western Continents Cmity Chimera Corps. The executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. were also shocked after watching the public opinion of Arpendia, checking the rted information, and btedly reviewing the detailed data. Acquired EXP... increased by 100 times...? I can''t believe it..... Who the hell would do such a crazy thing... The bnce and the aftermath of it were not taken into ount at all. However, after confirming that this change hade down from the top floor, they had no choice but to watch. [Hello, all adventurers who y Arcadia. I am Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd.] There are various rumors and opinions about the abnormal acquisition of experience by Chimeras, such as bugs and errors. And she apologized to everyone for the first time in a live broadcast watched by billions. [Arcadia is a world where many secrets and dangers are hidden. And I have followed the principle that you should not touch the changes in this world ording to your steps in uncovering this secret.] [Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. ording to that great principle, I thought it was the right thing not to intervene no matter how much I didn''t like the change, and that it was unavoidable even if many adventurers felt dissatisfied and alienated from the difficulty they couldn''t handle.] [But ... Seeing the adventurers flocking to thepany and expressing their anger, I began to think deeply about whether our thoughts were wrong. I''m sorry.] President Lee Mi-yeon, who has never apologized in front of the public. When she bowed her head for the first time and apologized in front of everyone with a sincere face, the reporters who had been watching her in a daze for a moment started shing like crazy. [Arcadia is a world that cannot exist without adventurers. I will reflect on the fact that I have not properly listened to everyone''s stories until now, and I will do my best to change. I will do my best to think about various things, including bnce issues, ande up with improvement measures so that no one is left out. And she soon provided answers to the issues everyone was curious about. [In that sense, I increased the reward experience of the monster Chimera'', which appears in the western camp''s scenario The Catastrophe of All Winged Things'', in which thergest number of users are participating among the scenarios currently in progress inside Arcadia, by my own authority. ] Aplete lie. Even though she is the CEO of Lee Mi-yeon, who has first-ss management authority, that is just the right to ess internal information, and she has no authority or will to intervene in the system itself. But people who don''t know that fact. To them, Lee Mi-yeon, president of this absurd change, was her own intention and was presenting it in front of everyone, presenting it as an apology andpensation for all the atrocities (?) Arcadia Co., Ltd. hasmitted so far. [I fully understand that this is an extreme measure, but please be aware that this decision was made after long consideration to bnce a game that has alreadypletely copsed. Please... I sincerely hope that this scenario will not be a disaster for all adventurers to just stare at helplessly, but an opportunity for your dazzling growth . . People who knew the substantive truth were amazed at her remarks, but most of them just praised her. -Wow... Are you really crazy? -Not a bug or error, but a real 100x event? -Wait a minute..... Ah, fuck. I chose the Central Continent, so I can''t participate in the event? -Kkackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Sound Zealot, a pipeworm that hasn''t chosen a scenario yet! - Runs straight to the West. These damn Chimera Sherrys.... Sing back that they are all dead. The public''s anger toward Arcadia Co., Ltd. faded in an instant. The staff had no choice but to admit it while watching in real time that users who had been leaving there returned to Arcadia again like a lie. At first I thought it was crazy... but now I don''t think I can say anything but amazing, don''t you? At the very least, youpletely calmed down the enormous anger of the users in just one moment. Arcadia, a game that has never been friendly to users. This game, which advocates only infinite freedom and infinite possibilities, and just throws everything into the vast world to learn by rolling, bumping into, and learning... For the first time, it did something for the majority of alienated users. That''s also true.... I''m so appalled by this situation that the boss intended. what....? Think carefully. What was the biggest problem in Arcadia right now? It was a matter of extreme prization of the overall power bnce. As with any RPG game, Arcadia inevitably creates a gap between users to some extent depending on the amount of time and goods invested. However, it was clear that the difference was so extreme that it could not bepared to any other game. 0.01% of users monopolized most of the scenarios. Recently, as funds from all sorts ofpanies and hedge funds rushed in, the conflict between guilds intensified, and in particr, the rejection of general users was getting worse. A winner-takes-all structure where only the winner takes everything. A world of weak meat, where you always have to endure losses if you do not have strength and support. There were quite a few people inside Arcadia Co., Ltd. who looked at this gap, which did not know the appropriate level and became more extreme as time passed, with a rather concerned gaze. By the way... Due to this ridiculous action by the president, the bnce is being forcibly adjusted. Its also an upward leveling method that forcibly raises users who havent grown enough yet. It is a measure that makes 99.9% of users have no choice but to explode and cheer. And that wasn''t all. Besides... it gave all the users great hope. The hope that if everyone joins forces, we might be able to put an end to that ridiculous disaster. It is also a way to allow someone to participate in the scenario voluntarily and happily, not forcibly. It''s not just a campaign asking you to participate in the scenario, but a genius idea that makes you jump in yourself. Of course, that didn''t mean that the 100x EXP event was normal, but they had no choice but to acknowledge President Lee Mi-yeon''s outstanding ability, who instantly resolved the enormous crisis they were facing with something that only a madman could do. Really... I guess the boss wasn''t just anyone. I thought he was a parachute because he was so young, but he was really talented. When I proposed the n for the Jukchang Daejeon, I thought I was really crazy... Lee Mi-yeon, now in her early 30s, first appeared as the head of a globalpany. Although she was always strangely ignored and disregarded by executives who boasted tremendous experience and experience in their 50s, at this moment, a new evaluation of her began to be made in the minds of many people. Although he repeats a little unique and insane entricity..... He is an outstanding talent who loves thepany and this virtual world more than anyone else, and is a leader who leads Arcadia and themselves. But they werepletely unaware. There is a separate existence that created this ridiculous miracle... and that they are already busy making another new miracle. * * * East of Arcadia. Jaeyoung asked as he gazed at the huge, endlessly stretched sea with blue sea water. So... a sea serpent that says Leviathan or something is lurking here somewhere? yes. I cant pinpoint the exact location, but I can definitely feel the energy in this area. Hmm... it wont be easy... The unified continentpletely merged into one after the Pangea update. The expansive sea that filled the huge continent in all directions was so vast that one could not dare to grasp its end. Topographically, it is at a disadvantage. It''s a problem to find where it is, and even if you find it, it''s like having a battle against a guy who moves around freely in the water... A field where underwater battles are forced. No matter how strong he is onnd, he had to endure a serious loss ofbat power in this water-filled environment, so Jae-young muttered as he looked down at the blue sea with a slightly embarrassed expression. Hmm..... I should have asked the dragons to get rid of this guy... The water has already been spilled, but when I came and looked at the situation, I felt a surge of regret. But the dragons had now yed their part in this first catastrophe. [The sacred object The Source of gue'', which corrupts everything, has been removed.] [Disasters in the northern continent have been cleared.] [There are only 2 remaining disasters.] Sessfully encroached on the North in less than a week. The dragon who in the disaster that was going on. They found the source of the gue hiding somewhere in the vast north. A normal-looking teddy bear of a very small size. At first nce, it looks like a child yed with it and threw it away... I don''t know how he found out the holy relic, which was disguised as junk that no one would even look at, but thanks to theplete destruction, Jaeyoung couldn''t say anything regretful about Goldrian. couldn''t even Let''s see..... Who will be the most suitable to deal with this cmity... That''s why they have to find another strategy. But his troubles did notst long. ah! Would that make it easy to deal with? huh? Do you have any good ideas, sir? Tan looks at Jaeyoung, who is snapping her fingers and making a sly expression, and asks questions impatiently. Jaeyoung replied to him with a very evil smile. If the terrain is the sea, there are guys who are perfect for this. They are loyal guys who will listen to me well. Chapter 463 Chapter 463 Taffy (1) After the World Tree''s death. Eight continents scattered far away. However, thanks to an incident that saved her from being engulfed in darkness and restored her strength, the fragmented continent was able to unite again. A hugendpletely integrated into one centered on the World Tree. Pangea. After that huge change took ce, countless chaos took ce all over the continent, but among them, especially the cities that were centered on maritime trade were truly a crucible of chaos. [What the hell is this...?] [I can''t believe it... The sea haspletely changed.] [Land...? Is this a dream right now...?] When I open the window in the morning, one day I suddenly start to see wide ins and forests in thendscape full of the sea, and a huge, unknown continent suddenly takes its ce. situation. A city developed in maritime trade was destroyed overnight, and the charts that were barely created over a long period of time and trial and error have bepletely useless. And such a change could not be avoided even in the Caribbean, the city of freedom and revolution ruled by Captain Carlos of the ck Pirates. In the first ce, the base of the world tree and the Caribbean, which was located in the central continent. So, after the continental unification, the coastal area where they were active as the main stage turned into an ind area facing the huge continent overnight. But... even so, Carlos... No, the ck Pirates haven''t changed at all. [Hehe... that unknown continent is also full of disgusting rulers and those who suffer under them.] [ All gathered under the ck g are brothers and sisters,rades who share blood.] [Gather! Those who are bound under the chains of rulers! Gather! Those who seek freedom! Get your freedom with your own two hands under the g of the Caribbean!] A boat is just a tool. Their spirit of freedom, equality, revolution and fraternity has not changed at all, so they took up arms and dered it in front of everyone. Toe to the Caribbean, a city where everyone enjoys freedom equally, regardless of status, past, or gender, and no one is treated with disrespect. Because it was made up of countless criminals, vagrants, beggars, and ves from all over the continent, the atmosphere throughout the city was rough and disorderly, and there was no quiet day due to all sorts of idents, but thanks to the powerful charisma of Carlos, the captain of the ck Pirates and the liberator of the Caribbean. At least the basic order of the city was being maintained to some extent. Of course, the order continued to bepromised. Oh no..... Captain, it''s a big deal. What else? In the midst of wrestling with all kinds of documents, Carlos''s subordinates enter the office again with thick documents. He spoke in a serious voice, unable to erase the worried expression from his face. Food. Looking at the harvest this year, it seems that there will be a lot of food shortages. what? What the hell does that mean? Why is there not enough food? Carlos, who had just received a report a few months ago that the stockpile of food was already sufficient. That''s why he asked back with an absurd expression at the words of his subordinate, who was telling apletely opposite story from before. That''s it..... He exins why the situation hase to this point. And the face of Carlos, who had been silently listening to the story, began to harden. So... because of the recent catastrophe or whatever, the number of vagabonds and refugees has exploded, and as a result, food consumption has increased significantly... is this what you mean? yes. In addition, merchants who had previously contracted to purchase food suddenly canceled their contracts. The reason was that the supply of food was unstable due to the recent rapid change in the continental situation... but the paralysis of the transportationwork seems to be the main reason. The aftermath of the disaster that struck all over the continent. Arcadia returns with a moreplex and delicate economic structure than any other game. Therefore, due to the disaster that struck the entire continent, the production and consumption cycle itself, including the transportationwork, waspletely paralyzed, so the situation of food shortage was a more serious problem than expected. Umm... How can there be no other way? First of all, we are looking for otherpanies, but with the recent surge in food prices, it is questionable whether we will be able to match the market price they demand. To be honest, the current financial situation is a bit on the edge. Keuheum ..... The Caribbean, which has no means of generating revenue, because it cannot engage in piracy or maritime trade as before. There were all sorts ofplicated problems, but Carlos couldn''te up with a sharp solution no matter how much he thought about it, so his silence couldn''t help but get longer and longer. But at that moment. A young child wearing a ck hood with an urgent face came into his office in a hurry. Captain Seo! Its Captain Carlos! Hans is the youngest official member of the ck Pirates and ys the role of the cutest maknae. Carlos tried to scold him sternly at the moment of his rude behavior when he burst open the door while he was still talking about something serious, but when he saw him panting and making a fuss without even saying a word properly, he suddenly became curious and asked softly: What is it that makes such a fuss? He... he''s back! If it''s him... can''t it be...? Hans shouted in a very excited tone. At his words, Carlos tilted his head for a moment, but soon his eyebrows twitched as if he understood his words. And soon, when he saw Jae-yeong slowly entering after Hans, he put on a shocked expression. W Long time no see. A greeting too arrogant to say to the absolute ruler and ruler of this city. But Carlos lunged at him with a bigugh, as if he didn''t care about that at all. Ha ha ha ha ha! my friend! You are finally back here! Carlos unknowingly hugs Jaeyoung out of joy. After a brief pause, he asked Jaeyoung with his eyes shining. So... what did youe back for? I don''t think he intends to settle down here... I came because I had a request. ask....? Carlos tilts his head at the word that he has a favor. And he soon realized what Jaeyoung wanted and put on a troubled expression. Go to the sea at the eastern end of the continent and catch the mythical sea monster... is that what you mean? that''s right. There shouldnt be any big problems since weve already thought about how to deal with them. A catastrophe in the east, where the main stage is the sea. In order to ovee such environmental limitations, the experience of those who have lived at sea all their lives and the boat is no different from home was essential. However, contrary to Jaeyoung''s thoughts, Carlos expressed his intention to refuse after a long silence. I''m sorry... but that request seems difficult to grant. Jae-young stares at him calmly without any reaction to those words. And then he asked in a low voice. May I ask why? Jae-young inquires about the reason for the refusal. And in response to his question, Carlos started pouring out all sorts of stories with an unusually serious look. So much has happened since you liberated this city. Suddenly, one day, the continent moves and the sea turns into a hugeke. Doesn''t the territory of the pig-like lord suddenly appear on a continent that I did not know at all? Oh and... Carlos has been doing his best to keep and preserve the Caribbean as it was after Jaeyoung left. He hesitated and talked about numerous things without even asking if he wanted to prove his hard work, and Jaeyoung listened to them silently. The owner, unlike how he looks, talks dirty a lot. Be quiet, bat. Don''t you notice? What are you doing all of a sudden? You damn chicken. Tan throws words without thinking while looking at the serious look of the two from the side, and L immediately subdues him. The two of them were making a loud noise again, but Jaeyoungpletely ignored them and only looked at Carlos. As expected... I expected it, but it was gradually falling apart after the continental unification.'' The situation where the town of sailors has changed into a city in the middle of the ind overnight. Originally, it had already been unable to adapt to this huge change long ago and had to go through the process of self-destruction like other maritime cities, but thanks to Carlos'' dedicated efforts, Caribbean was still able to maintain its current status. The economy and infrastructure are underdeveloped... Human resources are poor because most of them are vagrants...'' The Caribbean ispletely different from normal cities. In the past, it was somehow maintained by the predatory economy using hegemony at sea, but now it was a world where that method did not work. In conclusion, the current Caribbean does not have the capacity to go out in any way. Neither the funds nor the manpower nor anything else would be enough tounch such a gigantic campaign. It''s a tight situation to survive this winter, so it''s impossible to borrow manpower dispatched for farming. Besides, all the existing ships are tied to Lake Faegal, and there is no way to even go out to sea. All of the thousands of ships originally anchored at sea are now trapped in a hugeke called Fagal. In the first ce, the route itself to reach the area where Leviathan was located was blocked at the source, so even if he tried to do Jae-young''s favor, there was no way. What is it.....'' Jaeyoung''s thoughts run through his head. Jae-young, who realized that he was nning to use Carlos and the ck Pirates to defeat the disaster remaining in the east, but realized that there was no answer in the current situation, soon put on a serious expression and tapped the extension desk with his finger. ..... I am so sorry, my friend. In my heart, if I could move the ship by sea even by flying, I''d like to do it anyway... but the reality is that I can''t do that. Carlos apologizes over and over again as if he was sincerely sorry for not being able to fulfill Jae-young''s request. And at his meaningless rhetorical expression, Jaeyoung felt something sh through his head. Okay... Then it will work. What... do you mean? Flying. Can we fly by boat? Why didn''t I think of that? ...? Jae-young suddenly muttered something iprehensible to himself. And Carlos asked with a worried expression on whether he was crazy. Hey... do you know that ships can''t fly? A boat originally built for the purpose of floating on water. That''s why Carlos made an expression that he couldn''t understand when he saw Jaeyoung who was so serious about flying in the sky. But... Oh, you know. A boat cannot fly. He nodded his head while repeating the obviousmon sense. Then he added a meaningful word with his strangely sparkling eyes shining. In exchange, I know people who can make me fly. what....? what....? After hearing Jaeyoung''s words, Did I hear correctly?'' Carlos''s eyes widened with a smile on his face. However, he shuddered involuntarily at the indescribable strange feeling that came from deep in his heart as he saw Jaeyoung''s face with a very evil smile. there is. Theyre like gongdols, so if you throw something like this again, theyll say theyll like it and make it? Chapter 464 Chapter 464: Fucking (2) Arcadia has a medieval fantasy world setting. In order to maintain a fantasy world different from reality, this world did not allow the level of science and technology to rise above a certain level. [hmm....? What did you say?] [Hmm..... I don''t understand what you mean.] If you try to create something or inject knowledge using modern scientific theories and technologies, you can erase their memories immediately at any time. Alice, who prevents her from recognizing herself. Thanks to her wless control, no problems arose, but there were situations that even she could not prevent. Hmm..... How can I pump water automatically? Let''s see... If you manipte the circuit in this way here... it will explode? Fighting with swords, magic arrows, and siege weapons, Arcadia is a primitive and underdeveloped world, but still alive with romance. In such a fantasy world, a city that blooms its own civilization in a very deformed way. Gael Federation. This ce, full of magical engineers who opened the era of magical engineering, survived many crises and continued to grow explosively. Now, do not conflict or fight among the schools by dividing them. All knowledge must be transparently disclosed and shared. Adhering to closed, independent research only means regression for all of us, and is an obstacle that prevents us from advancing any further. Haimer, the founder of the Cannonphilia school and guardian of the Gael Federation. Although he was only a 20-year-old young man, he generously shared his magical knowledge with everyone and practiced more than he said. it started. And as a result... nonsensical miracles continued to happen in the Gael Federation. hey! Golems! Are you busy? Carpheim, Master of the Dimension School, visits the Marite School''sboratory. He shouted yfully at a group of people who were eagerly tinkering with dolls of many sizes, made of steel and wood and all sorts of different materials. Originally, it wouldn''t be strange to rush at the word Golem with great displeasure. However, since they wererades who had fought together in countless crises at the risk of their lives, they did not show any reaction as if this kind of joke was nothing. What is the delivery guy doing here? Did the items we ordered arrive? Pinhio, the master of the marite school. He approached him, putting down therge metal gear in a gruff voice, and Carpheim shook his head lightly. I''m sorry, but you''ll have to wait a while for the items you ordered. Restoration of warp gates between regions is constantly being dyed. what? Why all of a sudden? The Mage Tower suffered a near-destruction blow after the invasion of the machine civilization Gestalt. After all the high-ranking wizards were killed in droves, the power of the wizards was rapidly reduced, and in order to restore the warp gate that had been destroyed because of that, the Dimension School was studying a new means of transportation that could operate with mana stones on their own. The continent is very noisy these days. Didn''t you hear the rumor? There''s been a stir all over the west, east, and north? ...didn''t you hear? Pinhio has no interest in world affairs. He was just concentrating on developing a new type of artifact he was producing in theb, and tilted his head with a confused expression as if he hadn''t heard anything. Yeah..... I don''t know exactly, but some strange gue circtes, and a huge sea snake destroys the city... Anyway, they say it''s a mess. Anyway, because of that problem, it seems that it will be difficult to supply and demand the main materials for a while, so be aware. Problems caused by supply chain disruptions. It was an unavoidable situation, but Pinhio''s expression suddenly darkened at the unexpected bad news and his face stiffened. This... is a big deal. I''ve been running out of materials for a while... What the hell are you making? I heard that you areining about the amount of materials you are requesting from us recently. Are you saying thats not enough? The Dimension School that is responsible for supplying the Gael Federation as a whole. Therefore, Carpheim, who had a fairly detailed understanding of the flow of various resources and items for each school, soon asked with a puzzled look. You dont know. Because Haimer-sama asked for it personally. okay....? Haimer-sama asked you...? okay. Pinhio, the master of the marite school, who creates golems, giant battle dolls and unmanned weapons. Hearing that Haimer had secretly asked him to do research, he couldn''t hold back his curiosity and asked with his eyes narrowed. What... do you make a super-giant doll? At that word, Pinhio puts on a strange expression. However, he soon shook his head vigorously and tried to change the topic of conversation. There is nothing I can tell you, so stop asking. Rather... Why did youe all the way here yourself? I''m sure you didn''te here just to give me such bad news? If it''s usual, send a letter or a low-level employee and talk. The fact that he, a master who seldom takes off his heavy hips from locking himself in hisboratory and workshop, came here in person meant that he had a more important business than he thought. The convocation order has fallen. draft call....? okay. A convocation order that is activated when the Gael Federation is exposed to a real threat. It is a kind of wartime system and a general mobilization order in which all schoolse together as one regardless of their affiliations to protect the entire federation. Pinhio, who was surprised to hear that it had activated again, soon asked again with a confused expression. Is our Gael Federation in danger again? It is not a federation. But it could happen if we don''t act now. What the hell happened this time, but...? I dont know exactly. All the masters of the school received a message to gather. ..... At that, Pinhio ponders something with a serious expression on his face. And he immediately nodded. Okay. Let''s go... Hold my hand. Lets move right from here. He nodded at that and took out a bizarre-looking device from his pocket. Then, as soon as he entered the coordinates he had to move to with his stretched fingers, the small mana stone embedded in the device began to emit intense mana and emit light. Woo woo woo. A revolutionary invention of the Order of Dimensions. [Artifact Microwarp Device] The object, the size of a pocket watch, floated in the air and started creating aplex magic circle. The two of them moved somewhere like that. However, as soon as the two arrived, they could not help but freeze when they saw the masters of other schools moring loudly. No, so what the hell is that? What do you want me to make? Ha, making a huge flying ship... No, how the hell do you mean that? Make the whole body of that heavy steel alloy...? No, do you know how absurd that is? ording to thew of absolute mass of mana , it is impossible to carry more than a certain weight even with anti-gravity magic... Top quality mana stone? Even if you put hundreds of them together, they will probably fall apart in less than an hour. Masters who are already protesting, vomiting out what they want to say, as loudly as the floor of a market. And in front of them was Haimer, who was trying to calm them down with a puzzled look on his face, and Jae-Young, who was picking up his ears with a dissatisfied look on his face. What on earth are you even doing this for...? Pinhio, who hadn''t grasped the situation properly yet, sneakily asked the Master of the Steam Main School, who was closest to him. And the answer was truly shocking. What... what...? To make a flying ship of steel...? okay! Doesn''t it make sense when you think about it? I know roughly what the idea is, but how are you going to make it? Anyway, they know that magical engineering isn''t some kind of magic wand, but just wielding a wand. The Master of the Main School of Steam muttering with a disgruntled expression on his face. And it was the same idea for everyone. Anyone cane up with an idea, but making it a reality ispletely different. Just as designers and engineers put their souls on each other while developing a new product, Jae-young brings up an unreasonable task that doesn''t seem realistic at all. And the gaze of the masters looking at him was not so good. Even if you are a hero of the Gael Federation. How are you going to make it? Impossible. You can''t make the impossible possible. If I can make something like that, I want to make it! What do you mean it doesn''t work! Jae-young''s requirements, which are absolutely impossible to implement with the magical knowledge andmon sense that each person has. As a result, hugeints were pouring down on him, and Haimer, who was quietly watching it from the sidelines, had simr thoughts. Hey... Mr. Dex. why. No matter how much I think about it, the requested artifact is... I think it would be a bit difficult... What is difficult? Haven''t you seen those gestalt or what? Why can''t you guys make what they made? A space battleship that flew well in the air even on an enormous scale of several kilometers. When Jaeyoung raised the question, Haimer smiled and expressed disapproval. That... we are still researching it, but... there are still many things we dont know... so its impossible right now... Gestalt, a product of science and technology civilization. The Gael Federation collected all the remains, but their understanding was still at an extremely low level, so the utilization of such scientific civilization was only insignificant. A situation that stops at the level of just imitating various phenomena. I had to digest those techniques step by step over the next dozen or hundreds of years of research, but to Jaeyoung... and there was no time for that in this world. Oh, don''t worry about that. Because I brought special tutors for you guys. yes....? Haimer didn''t understand Jaeyoung''s words well. However, as soon as several handsome and beautiful men and women with colorful hair appeared, the noisy meeting room became quiet in an instant. Greetings. The tutors who will guide andfort you from today. Are these humans? uh. I need to do it as quickly as possible, so please don''t sleep and roll it. Don''t kill me. i get it. The matter is serious, so let''s make the desired item as quickly as possible. I''ve done what I asked for, thanks for helping me. no. Anyway, protecting Arcadia is our unique mission. I am just d that I can help in this way. Jae-young and a blonde man talking about something iprehensible. Haimer, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, carefully asked Jaeyoung with a worried expression. Hey... Dex-sama...? huh? Who are these people, by any chance? Heimer looked uneasy as if asking, Thats what I think... isnt it? Jaeyoung smiled brightly at him and pointed his hand at the blond man standing in front of him. Ah, hello. This is Dragon Lord Goldrian. Nice to meet you, human. ...? In this way, a bizarre scene that had never existed in Arcadia began to be directed. It is a very strange situation where the dragons, the masters of magic, take pathetic humans who do not even have the talent for mana and stick next to them and teach magic without sleeping. Chapter 465 Chapter 465 Taffy (3) The Magic Supremacy Dragon. Intelligence and perfect memory superior to any other life form. With wisdom umted over many years and numerous experiences, they were so absolute that no living being dared topare them. Out-of-standard monsters who even excellent geniuses spend an entire day solving enormous forms that need to be solved with simple mental arithmetic. And the magic engineers of the Gael Federation, who are being trained (?) by such people, were continuing a hellish forced march, unable to breathe properly even for a single moment. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... Great being... . As a master of the marite school, originally he should have been sitting solemnly in his studio and giving all sorts of advice to his students, but now, as if he were a neer to the school, he looked closely at his work. I was having a hard time watching it. Haa..... Hey. However, despite Pinhio''s devoted efforts, a red-eyed man ring at him with a stern expression on his face as if he didn''t like something... No, the surviving old dragon-ss red dragon, Kaizel. He said coldly, running his fingers across several ces on the parchment. How stupid are you to make forms sloppy like this? ording to the circuit you created, collisions ur between here and here and between here and here during the process of conducting magic. Didn''t you know that if this happens, mana efficiency will decrease drastically, and in the worst case, it could explode as a backflow of mana? Were you making a flying bomb, not a flying ship? A magic circuit that waspleted over two nights by all the members of the marite school attached to a piece of parchment that was so huge that it almost filled an entire room. Complex magic circuits and forms were densely drawn on that colossal piece of paper without leaving a single gap, so it was so vast that it took at least a week to read and interpret each one. However, just by looking at it for a moment, he went beyond fully understanding the magic circuit and caught errors in forms that no one else could catch. Besides, that wasn''t the end. Looking at it, [durability enhancement] [self-healing] and... [Magic disintegration] seems to have been tried to be applied to the fusge... Is it really necessary to stack multiple magics in such aplicated way? You can just sort it out with one [biometal]. Kaiselpletely blows away theplex circuit with just one gesture and inscribes apletely new magic form that no one has ever seen before. And it was a magic circuit in which everything Marite tried to implement was integrated into one. How can this be so..... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh such a perfect form... Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhtttttressical to be a beautiful woman . Magical Engineers who take their breath away as if they are watching. Even in this situation where dozens of people gathered together and thought about it for two days and nights and made it into something worse than garbage in a single moment, they did not feel discouraged or embarrassed. Rather... I was sinking into a colossal excitement. Haa... I guess it wasn''t a joke to say that dragons are the masters of magic. To be able to witness this advanced magic with my own two eyes. Ahhh! What a great being! These magic engineers are always agonizing over what the true truth is and silently walk their own path to find the truth. That is why, to these gongdols burning with a passion for learning, the existence of a dragon was nothing short of a perfect teacher and absolute leader that they had only dreamed of. You are great and perfect! Please teach us lowly humans! you''re right! We are ignorant, inferior idiots. Please grant us the grace of lofty knowledge! Roll me like a dog. I will do whatever you ask me to do! If you ask me to be a test subject, I will be happy to be a test subject,ughing and ready to die! I thought I would die, but strangely, the magical engineers who suddenly showed me a magic turned their eyes on me. And at their reaction, Kaizel put on a puzzled expression. This... are these...?'' Apletely unexpected reaction. However, rather than being afraid of himself, he did not hate the appearance of those who somehow craved attention and love and did not know what to do. However... Kaisel said as if he was annoyed and bothered with a face that said he was genuinely annoyed. Come on, you stupid, pathetic people. It''s good if you guys want it. In my name, Red Dragon Kaisel, I will personally show all of you monkey-like creatures what true hell is. I hope! Please do anything! What a great being! I will devote my body and mind to my loyalty! What a great being! A situation where all kinds of excessive loyalty and mouth-watering voices are rampant here and there. However, Kaisel acted like a grumpy old man full of grumpy, although deep inside he was happy. Ah, for now, stop saying that strange thing about that great being or what it is. It''s annoying to hear. yes....? An honorific term often used to address dragons. When they were told not to use that term from now on, which was nothing short of an absolute unwritten rule, they all froze for a moment. And then Pinhio asked him with a puzzled expression. Then... how should I call you from now on... Master. ...? Pinhio and the magic engineers stand still with a look on their faces as if they had heard the wrong moment. To those who felt as if they had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer, Kaisel quietly threw a word, then turned around and walked away. Am I teaching you guys? Then, of course, you should call me Master. Kaisel muttered curtly as if it was nothing, then turned around. However, for those who ept it, this moment was a tremendous thing that could not have been imagined even in their dreams. [Your fellow is no longer my disciple as of today. He only had high mana affinity, but he''s too stupid to learn magic. Get out of my sight right now!] [Unfortunately, you''re naturally incapable of umting mana. Being a wizard is not your path, so just give up.] [What kind of magic is this for a lowly serf with no money? It''s academy and it''s nabal and it''s work!] Those who couldn''t walk the path of a wizard because they didn''t have talent, or those who were abandoned by their teachers because theycked talent. Those who couldn''t blossom their talents under poor parents. Each of them had different circumstances and backgrounds, but most of the magic engineers did not have a teacher worth mentioning. That''s why... They looked so thrilled and called their new teacher with one voice as if they had promised. Master! I have a question! * * * You get along better with dragons than I thought, right? I thought you''d be very scared, but you''re pretty good at it, right? Jae-young watched the situation as several high dragon-ss dragons were attached to each other, giving various advice and guidance to the development process of various schools. And he was able to discover an unexpected fact in the process. It''s just that theirbination is bizarre, but it''s not quite as bad as you''d think. Hehehe. You stupid idiots! I''ll tell you just once, so open your ears and listen straight! Got it? ancient! Master! A guy who''s not even a bug like this. Are you making this kind of mistake in such a basic form? Don''t go anywhere and say you learned from me. Sorry! Look at this. What do you think is different between the form you made and the form I made? Eh... that''s... Those who crave magic engineers, putting a lot of insulting and humiliating rhetoric about them being worse than bugs or stupid. However, while doing so, he was giving them instructions while clearly exining thecking and insufficient parts to them. Master Su! Are you here! OK. Magical engineers who know this better than anyone else, so they are polite and respectful to their reckless actions. In a way, it felt as if I was starkly waiting for the moment when I would receive personal guidance from the dragon after being harassed by the dragon. It''s abination of a tsundere-like official and perverts who feel joy while being harassed... Jae-young, who summarized the rtionship between the two, a dragon and a magic engineer. And then he grinned and muttered, as if it were absurd. There are really no people in this game who can be called normal. It''s as if a few screws are missing from their heads except for themselves. But even so, as the object Jae-young wanted took shape little by little and began to reveal itself, a strange smile appeared on his face. But... one skill is certain... Remnants of ultra-futuristic scientific artifacts extracted from the remains of Gestalt. And based on it, the magical battleship Nautilus is created by reinterpreting it. Jae-young, who even mobilized a dragon to make it as a decisive weapon and a trump card to catch Leviathan, was in serious trouble while reorganizing his future ns. But at that moment, I heard the sound of Goldrian and Haimer talking noisily about something. What kind of blueprint is this? yes? No, I''m just making it personally..... I''m still thinking about it..... Now, just show me a second. I just want to take a closer look..... No, this is my personal research that has nothing to do with it at all... thats... The research notebook that Haimer has. Goldrian, who identally opened it, found something and kept urging him with a shocked face, but Haimer seemed reluctant to show it. For what? Ah... Mr. Dex. Haimer sends a signal to Jaeyoung to help with a lot of perplexed eyes. However, Jaeyoung held out his hand to him without thinking. Give me this. What on earth is that guy reacting to like that? No... this is really nothing special... After hesitating, Haimer eventually handed over his notebook. And then he muttered in a low voice as if he was embarrassed. Its just my personal delusion. Sometimes, when I have free time, I do scribbles, but there are so many scattered problems that its just absolutely impossible to implement. Haimer spoke as if he were making an excuse. At his words, Jaeyoung gave her a quick nce and opened the research notebook. You say its nothing, but why are you overdoing both of them so much... And Jaeyoung, who opened it, immediately stopped talking and froze. This is... An appearance no one could have imagined. However, Haimer''s research work looked very familiar. It was an artifact in the form of a giant robot, with numerous sketches and all kinds of detailed internal structures drawn on it. At that time, that Gestalt changed at the end..... I was trying this and that because I wanted to see how I could implement it after collecting and analyzing the remains. It''s all just a little bit of drawing that hasn''t been theoreticallypleted yet. An idea that could not even be imagined if it existed in Arcadia, a medieval fantasy world. However, Jae-young, who has faced the odds and products of numerous scientific civilizations in reality, was able to realize the identity of what he was trying to create at once. The thing in the fantasy world is X... hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe... puhhahahahaha. Jaeyoung bursts intoughter at the thoughts that suddenly pass by. Afterughing for a long time, he looked at Haimer with a look full of affection and said with sincerity. Heymer... I knew it before, but you are a real genius. yes....? Haimer makes a dumbfounded expression at the suddenpliment. However, Jaeyoung burst intoughter as if he was happy just thinking about it, and muttered with his eyes shining as if he was plotting something evil. You said it was infinite freedom and infinite possibilities...? The motto that he always talked about while stirring the world as he pleased. While all the users muttered the phrase that caused PTSD, Jaeyoung said to the sky. Like that, try it once. From now on, it''s time for a reversal of the charter. Chapter 466 Chapter 466: Fucking (4) Ashura, the owner of the ck Mist, and the top administrator of Arcadia, a virtual reality. Kim Min Soo. No one cared about him because of his small body, still at the level of a young middle school student, but sitting alone in a cafe and sipping hot chocte, hisptop monitor was filled with a lot of high-quality information about Arcadia that no one dared to ess. Hmm... It''s more unique than I thought. Of the five catastrophes, the four remaining except for the catastrophe of the southern continent, which ended as soon as it started in vain. Among them, it was Min-soo who was looking forward to seeing Jae-young, who directly attacked the central continent, and how he would attack other disasters. And Jae-young meets those expectations to the extent of exceeding them and sessfully defeats the disasters of other continents one by one. I don''t know if it was intentional or coincidental, but the change made by consuming as much as 3.2 billion probabilities brought about the most ideal and optimal results for the entire continent of Arcadia. [The average level and power of users have increased significantly due to the change in experience of Chimeras. In addition, 12993212 of the NPCs who participated in the battlefield were upgraded, and 29123 new jobs were created and 1932412 new skills were added.] Growth and Awakening. The chimera corps artificially force the growth of users and NPCs to match the narrative of Arcadia, which proceeds at apletely different level of difficulty than normal. The enormous amount of experience they provided was absorbed intact by the adventurers who came back to life despite countless deaths and sacrifices, and eventually yed an important role in boosting the overall capabilities of users very explosively in a short period of time. In the end, the catastrophe of the Western Continent will be destroyed by ordinary users. Now, instead of being pushed back, the defense line is pushing in. Originally, the army of Chimera that dominated the entire continent with overwhelming numbers and power. However, the speed of the fierce advance gradually began to stagnate, and at some point, it suddenly began to slowly reverse. The disaster of the west with the users who were fighting tightly as if they were in a fierce tug-of-war. However, the delicate bnce of power was unstable as if it would be broken at any moment. [That''s right. ording to the current analysis of the strength of the two factions, the probability of the user''s faction winning was analyzed to be 83.6%.] The user''s victory is almost certain. Because it was Elise''s decision to check and analyze thousands of tens of thousands of variables one by one, Minsu licked his lips as if looking at the catastrophe of the West that ended like this. Its a pity that the disaster in the north seems to end in vain. Minsu, who never thought that he would save the head of the dragon, the world''s strongest man, and use that as an excuse to entrust him with dealing with a disaster. That''s why he didn''t seem to see Jaeyoung in trouble, so he made a sad expression, but he couldn''tin. [This is the strategy through the most efficient and optimal method. The administrator feels regret, but most of the general users are satisfied with the current situation.] Although he is the creator of himself and the administrator with the highest authority, Arcadia is the most basic reason for existence and purpose of Alice. It was true that the current situation in the operation of the virtual reality game, called, is much better than she expected. [User satisfaction has increased rather than before the disaster scenario. The gap between 1% of users and 99% of users has also significantly decreased, and more than 80% of the area has been preserved intact than expected . Alice who did. However, thanks to Jaeyoung''s miracle, the situation waspletely reversed. hey! When are you going to go to Arcadia today? Um..... Since I waste yesterday at 4:00 pm... How about 5:00? okay. How are you today... to a party? Or solo? Hmm... Yesterday in the suicide meta, all skill proficiency was set to rank 5, so shall we safely party hunt today to gain experience? okay. I am fine. Two young men chatting excitedly at the table next to Minsu. It was a situation that Min-soo should have been happy to see, looking forward to the moment when people who looked like young college students were passionately talking about Arcadia and enjoying adventures in the virtual world. Well...dont get me wrong. It''s all about feeling a little bit sad, but that doesn''t mean I don''t like what''s going on. Minsu shakes his head and protests at Alice''s words as if he was expecting the destruction of Arcadia. And soon he smiled strangely as he saw something huge being created in the Gael Federation. And... In fact, just looking at what he''s doing right now, I can tell how crazy he is, so I''m satisfied enough. A giant ship hundreds of meters tall being built in the middle of the Gael Federation. However, the ship had a bizarre appearance that was a little... no,pletely different from what we normally know. Alice, by the way, are they really okay with what theyre doing? Wasnt science-rted technology restricted so that it could not spread in the world of Arcadia? Originally, she should have intervened a long time ago. Seeing this situation where a cutting-edge scientific civilization weapon is about to be reborn, which cannot be tolerated in the medieval fantasy world of Arcadia, Minsu asked with a puzzled face, but Alice said as if she was a little troubled. [In principle, this is an impossible situation, but considering the various contexts, I have no authority to intervene.] Really...? Although it is said to be a being from another world, it is definitely a mechanical consciousness gestalt, the crystallization of scientific civilization that existed in the setting of theter crisis scenario. Their act of reinterpreting and magically recreating countless ideas and ideas extracted from his ruins had nothing to do with science or technology at all. It''s just highly developed magic technology. That''s why Alice had no qualifications or authority to intervene with those who had not vited any rules. Highly developed magic is no different from science... is that what you mean? The Gael Federation is trying to build a super-futuristic science fiction ship using magic. Looking at their production process and Jaeyoung, who ordered and led all of this, Minsu soon giggled. Absorbing the settings of the second half crisis scenario that was triggered in the past like that... isn''t it an idea that a real sane person can do? right? [The judgment on the mental state of the user is ambiguous, but it is true that the current movement within Arcadia is very unusual.] Colossal technological power that is iparable to other countries. Also, because of the very special situation of the disaster of Asura that would destroy the entire continent, the Gael Federation''s magic engineers, who were rapidly advancing by receiving direct instruction from the dragon, the master of magic, were increasing their knowledge and level to an unbelievable level. [If the mass production of airships currently in production is carried out, numerous additional variables may ur in the future. In addition, the hegemony of the entire Arcadia continent could move centered on the Gael Federation...] Again, Ellis spoke for a long time. However, Minsu did not listen to her story at all and just quietly sipped hot chocte and enjoyed this leisurely moment. Imagining what the expressions of Jack and President Lee Mi-yeon will look like when they are looking at this scene. * * * Dex, the benefactor of the Gael Federation, suddenly came one day. And as soon as he arrived, he made outrageous demands to all of them. Make me a flying boat. You know that Gestalt from before? A guy simr to him. Thousands... no, tens of thousands of tons of enormous artifacts weighing so much. He asked me to do a national project that would require an astronomical amount of materials and funds, as well as an enormous amount ofbor and time, just by throwing a word. That''s why the masters of all schools rushed at him like crazy and expressed their strong opposition, but Jaeyoung''s reaction was really sluggish. What is impossible in this world? If you want to do it, you have to do it, and you have to make it so that it doesnt work. He insists on doing it somehow. But that didn''t mean he was just being so reckless without any countermeasures. Tell me if there are any materials you need. We will provide you with enough of what we have in our storage. In the process of imprinting the magic circuit, I will do theplicated or dangerous parts myself. Stupid human. This is wrong here. Dragon. Thanks to the help of those who intervened and provided all the materials, magic knowledge, andbor needed to create the artifact Jae-young wanted, he seeded in making that near-impossible miracle a reality. Of course... the process was more hellish than I had imagined, and it was the product of many magical engineers being grounded. I did it... I cant believe it... I really cant believe it... How did you make this... in just one month...? Those who did not sleep for a day, relieved all physical and mental fatigue with the magic cast by dragons, and suffered from all kinds of work and heavybor without resting even for a minute or a second. So, when everything was finished, they sat on the floor with tired faces, gasping for breath, but no one showed any signs of dissatisfaction or irritation. Rather, they had an expression full of emotion as they stared nkly at the ship, the greatest masterpiece ever created and an artifact that would remain forever in the history of Arcadia. Magic Battleship Nautilus. The fusge is made of a special alloy with a lot of magical treatment. Mithril, which has the highest mana conductivity, is a ship with mana circuits engraved on all sides of the huge ship. This ship, literally astronomical in gold, was so enchanting that even the dragons who participated in its production coveted it. Anyway, humans are special. I thought they were primitive people who copied our magic, but to build their own magic like this. It is unique. Shall I try to make one myselfter... I think it would be very suitable for my rare collection, but..... Kuhm..... Numerous dragons looking at Nautilus. However, they couldn''t bear to put their thoughts into action as they saw their road talking from afar with a serious expression. So... you mean that you can defeat thest remaining disaster with this artifact? of course. You never have to worry about that. No matter how they look like this, the guys who will operate this ship are elites who have driven ships their entire lives. excellent ship. and skilled and experienced sailors. Since Jaeyoung already had a n to defeat the Leviathan with thebination of the two, he said with a very confident face. Okay...then Ill trust you and wait. He couldn''t intervene any further anyway. Since it was impossible to directly harm the remaining eastern disasters from the moment they had already been defeated, there was nothing Goldrian could do except wish them luck. Dont worry about that and take good care of Haimer. Before boarding the Nautilus, Jae-Young asks Goldrian for Haimer. Then he whispered with a serious expression. What that guy is trying to make... Please stick by your side and develop it as quickly as possible. If there''s anything missing, take it from Kervenian... no, from myir. It doesn''t matter if you strip everything off, so use it to your heart''s content. i get it. Goldrian nodded at those words. And he immediately called Jae-young to stand up as if he had forgotten something. Oh, he asked me to ask you something. To me? what? Name...I asked you to name the artifact. A new masterpiece that Haimer will create. When asked to name the giantbat robot, which would be a relief if he was not sued for copyright infringement, Jae-young smiled and answered straight away. giant. Chapter 467 Chapter 467 Fucking (5) The army of Chimeras nearly engulfed the Western Continent. Although they were rapidly increasing their number by preying on every living creature, they were immediately subdued by adventurers who were blinded by the enormous experience. [The Chimera Queen, the devourer of all things, has been removed.] [ The Western Continent''s Catastrophe has been cleared.] [There is only 1 remaining Catastrophe.] Haa..... haa..... Queen''s residence, where objects approaching a billion units were gathered. However, there were still people standing upright on their own two legs, still alive and breathing in this ce, which had be the ruins of a cruel and grotesque battlefield filled with the bodies of countless adventurers and the remains of chimeras. Wow... that was really dirty! You damn bugs! Ugh ..... I think the worms wille up from the inside just by looking at it ..... got this! I didn''t die, I survivedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Adventurers who went through many adversity, dying and resurrecting repeatedly and growing and growing. After all, through endless tenacity and tremendous effort, those who sessfully attacked a disaster with their own two hands cheered with shouts of victory, regardless of who they were. [Settlement of contribution.] [Acquired contribution of 36123242.] [Acquired title Hero who prevented disaster.] . . . Those who received enormous rewards by obtaining various special titles as well as contributions ording to their efforts. However, what was more valuable than these rewards was the strength of the users, who were iparably higher than before. 4 Break through 400 levels! Congrattions! Oh clothes! Congrattions, Gilma-nim! Finally... you''ve reached level 400 for the first time in North America! Master Captain Yankee of the guild Heroes'', which ranks first in the North American continent and has the most power. Thanks to his guild''s enormous contribution to the capture of this scenario, each and every guild member, including him, has grown unbelievably and firmly secured his position at the top, but he received sincere congrattions and awe from his many fellow guild members. Even the moment I received it, I was not happy at all. No, I couldn''t be happy. What the hell are those guys...'' Lv. And the enormous number of chimeras that guarded her. Captain Yankee felt an indescribable feeling when he saw the two of them, who arrived here faster than any other guild and any other adventurer, and were engaged in an endless battle. Wow... I really think I''m going crazy after fighting without sleeping for two full days. Wasnt it a fun experience? It is not umon for enemies to attack without a break like this. Fun is a piece of shit... Theres no such thing as hard work or heavy work, you bloody fighting maniac! Still, I received enoughpensation. You just have to be satisfied with that. Well... that''s right. What title did you get? I was given too much... look. oh? Are you okay? I got this. Two men and women who seem to be very normal and have a conversation while arguing with each other. However, the texts that popped up above the heads of these two clearly showed everyone that they were formidable beings. [Mu Emperor Casis] [Heavenly Demon Angelina] Emperor of Mu. magic pole. Titles too arrogant and arrogant to be given to an individual. But no one had even thought of saying such a thing against these two. Rather, they felt that the titles were insufficient to refer to them. -Wow..... I watched all the live broadcasts, but those bastards are crazy guys..... -How can they fight for two days without sleeping? Do you not even go to the bathroom in real life? -You idiot, high-end capsules can automatically handle bowel movements if desired. -But don''t you have to take everything off to go in...? -Ah, don''t talk about things you don''t want to know, you damn bastards. A battlefield that requires extreme concentration, where you cannot rest even for a minute or a second. The achievements of these two who went beyond surviving for two days against the terrible monstersing from all sides and annihted them were enormous that no one dared to follow. -Isn''t that enough to call you God of War rather than Emperor Mu? -If you are at the level of handling hundreds of weapons at the same time, not just one or two, you are king even if you are called a god. -I don''t know Casis, but Angelina''s title seems to have been underestimated. - Lol lol. It''s not a heavenly demon, but a demon. That''s enough. -How many chimera heads were broken by that crazy bitch... -It was the first time I felt sorry for the chimeras. -Why do you keep calling Angelina a wizard? That insane force! Blood that overflows more than any other man! Anyone can see that he is a warrior himself! -Kiaaaaaang! sister! Hotpot Crush! Billions of users watched both battles. Compared to the two heroes who are revered in their hot cheers (?), Captain Yankee knows better than anyone else that his achievements are literally worse than a candle in front of the sun, so Captain Yankee is not happy or a little happy despite his achievements. I couldn''t be satisfied. It''s so huge.....'' Captain Yankee, who grew up without any shame in reality..... No, James. No matter where he was, whoever he was with, he was always in the center of the spotlight and attracted attention. Outstanding talent, handsome looks, and enormous wealth and fame. As someone who literally had everything, even in Arcadia, he stood above everyone and reigned at the pinnacle, but after the continent was unified... everything changed. I can''t get over it at all...'' No matter how much money you invest, even if you save time to sleep and devote yourself to hunting, no matter how hard you try, you can never get over the wall. Looking with his own eyes at the wall so high that he couldn''t even dare to cross it, Captain Yankee couldn''t help but rejoice at his humble sess. He just stared nkly at Angelina, who was hysterical by swearing at the viewers, and Casis, who stopped her. * * * [Haa..... Fortunately, even the catastrophes in the West have been cleared.....] The situation on all continents is running out of breath. As Arcadia''s creator and father'', he sighed in relief and murmured. [I was worried because I wondered if that damn Min-soo really decided to stop ying the game... I''m d the situation turned out to be surprisingly better than I thought.] Five te-stage crisis scenarios. Jack almost gave up halfway, seeing what a crazy person could do to activate them at the same time, but surprisingly, the result waspletely opposite. [Four disasters... clear. There is only one catastrophe left.] Alice said that there was only one catastrophe left until the first apocalypse scenario was cleared. Listening to her report, Jack had no choice but to admit one thing. [That guy named Dex was a nerd... to intervene in all disasters like this.] Originally, the system was stipted so that one person could only attack one disaster. However, his way of ying indirectly intervening by exploiting loopholes by twisting such a system was enough to leave viewers in awe. Even Jack, who was expecting him to be like this. [Wasn''t the administrator''s intention to limit this situation in the first ce?] [Did you know...?] [The user is the top priority for analysis than anyone else. It was a predictable result if we analyze the historic humiliation'' situation that had already urred with simr restrictions in the Shoen Empire.] In the past, Jack, who had applied the restriction to intervene in a peaceful'' way without allowing any force. And that trivial restriction caused as many as three gigantic mushroom clouds of death to rise in the capital of the Shouen Empire, where Japanese users used to y as a base, so he deliberately presented a restriction full of loopholes to Minsu. [Let''s set a status abnormality so that any attack will be invincible. Then, the means to intervene in other scenarios are blocked at the source, right?] Jack deliberately left open the possibility of intervening as a trick. However, his intentions had already been discovered by Ellis from the beginning. [Do not worry. Setting the rules is a matter for the two managers to decide through mutual consultation. It''s a clever and despicable method, but I have no intention of sanctioning it.] Jack wants this arcadia not to perish more earnestly than anyone else, and that this crazy final chapter that Minsumits ends with a happy ending. As if understanding his feelings, Elise spoke in a dry tone, but was very warm. [Manager who wants maximum fun in the progress of the scenario. And the manager who doesn''t want the end of this world. The destruction of Arcadia does not exist in the goal that the two hope for. That''s why I''ll do my best to follow the manager''s wishes as much as the authority given to me allows.] [Alice...] Jack feels strangely heartbroken. In the midst of a sharp confrontation with Minsu, Alice was cold like a machine that wouldn''t bleed even if stabbed. Feeling like she was taking his side for the first time, Jack put on an expression that looked like he was about to shed tears. But before he had time to feel that emotion, Alice moved on to a new topic of conversation and floated something in front of Jack''s eyes. [Rather than that.... an additional variable has urred. Please check rted information.] [Additional variables...?] Alice contemting Arcadia in real time. And Jack, who saw the video that she showed up, tilted his head and furrowed his eyebrows. [That Nautilus or something...? You reported to me the other day. Why is that...?] Magical engineering newly born in the Gael Federation. Beyond the primitive and basic level of the previous day... As all schools began to share their knowledge, the level of their technology has advanced to an iparable level. In addition, as the dragon known as the master of magic, and the elder dragon ss, joined in, an unheard-of monster was born. [One main gun that can fire the highest quality mana stones. Range 200km/h. Maximum upancy of 200 people. It''s imprinted with a shield and concealment magic. What else is the problem?] A superrge stealth flying battleship that appeared in a medieval fantasy world. It was absurd to create that ridiculous weapon that could not be made with real technology in less than a month, but Jack and Alice could not control all of this. Although it is said that the idea came from Gestalt, the love of science and technology, everything was a setting that existed in the game. In addition, everything used to realize the idea was based on magic, the basic worldview that supports Arcadia. And because it was necessary to prevent thest remaining disaster... Jack had no choice but to close his eyes while looking at that crazy, cutting-edge future weapon. But..... [That crazy bastard...?] Even he had no choice but to curse at him with a shocked look on his face, and Jaeyoung was doing nothing. With a very evil face. Chapter 468 Chapter 468: Feeding Taffy (6) Whoops. A magical battleship, the Nautilus, that makes a huge roar. The gigantic ship, hundreds of meters tall, was filled with seeminglyplicated devices and was flying rapidly through the sky, shining intense light from the densely carved magic circuits. And... the top elites of the ck Pirates who boarded and maneuvered the ship. It was the first ship they had ever operated, but they were moving very naturally to the eastern seas, moving in perfect order like their own ships that had been riding for decades. hey! Look straight ahead! If you arrive at the wrong ce, I''ll throw you overboard! Ha ha ha! fast! It''s fast! Hahahahaha! Advance! All over again! Those who stand on the deck where they don''t even have to go out and enjoy the risky flight while being exposed to the madly raging wind. Seeing them like that, Jaeyoung murmured in disbelief. What are all these guys doing? There is no need to go out and check. The front part of the ship ispletely covered with Ardental crystal, which is a transparent material that allows you to see the outside, but is harder than steel. In addition, the detection magic and satellite magic applied directly by the dragons made it possible to check the current position of the ship in real time, and visualized it through illusion magic, so what the crew of the ck pirates were doing was crazy because they just wanted to finish quickly. It was just their luck. Maybe its because my body is itching from not sailing for a long time. It''s the first time we''ve set sail like this since the entire continent went through a cataclysmic upheaval, so please understand. Pirate King Carlos answers Jaeyoung''s words with a chuckle. Then, looking around the bridge he was standing on with an expression of total disbelief, he asked Jaeyoung a question he had already asked several times. Are you really going to give us this ship? No matter how you look at it, it doesn''t seem like an ordinary ship... I''ve never heard of a ship floating in the air like this in my entire life. Carlos ispletely ignorant of magic. But even so, I wasn''t withoutmon sense, so the fact that it makes such a huge ship so high in the sky, and the fact that this ship is absolutely not ordinary because of the circuits withplex magic forms that make my eyes spin just by looking at it, is just looking at it. Could know. There is nothing I cant give you if you finish this job well. Its something I dont really need anyway. Strictly speaking, the magical battleship Nautilus, which is more like an airship or a space battleship. However, perhaps because of Arcadia''s worldview that thoroughly excludes science and technology and civilization, this absurd ship was treated as just a kind of ship''. -Minimum operating manpower: 50 people. -Navigation 1 rank. Rank 5 forrge ship operation. Steering skill 3rd rank. Survey Rank 2 ..... A ship that requires a minimum number of crew members and extremely high sailing skills. To Jaeyoung, who had no ship-rted sailors and even less skills, this Nautilus was literally a pie in the picture, but to Carlos and the ck Pirates, it was a treasure more valuable than anything else. Anyway, it''s useless after this scenario ends, so... I''m going to show condescension with this.'' Still, it is not given at all, it is clearly rented'', so be aware of it. You never know when you''ll suddenlye back and ask to put it out. Is it difficult to wash your mouth after that? It seems that there is nothing to ask for it back in the first ce, but Jae-young throws a warning, not a warning, with a mischievous smile. However, Carlos nodded and answered without a single word of hesitation. Ha ha ha ha. then. If you ask for it at any time, I will give it back right away. Don''t worry about that. Carlos nodded very cheerfully. And at his reaction, Jaeyoung smiled and said. Anyway, if you manage to operate this Nautilus, you will be able to freely roam all over the continent from now on, so use it well. I''ve already made ament on the top of the pie. If you cooperate with them and use this ship as a trade ship, you won''t have to suffer from financial difficulties in the future. The only artifact in Arcadia that can fly. It was a superrge ship built to amodate thousands of people and carry hundreds... thousands of tons of supplies, so even if it wasn''t forbat, its utility was endless. Hey... can you hear what I said...? Jaeyoung says that the ship will be responsible for the future of the Caribbean. Hearing this, Carlos, who seemed shocked by something, stayed nk for a while before speaking in a trembling voice. Thank you. Carlos''s sincere words. He sincerely bowed his head towards the adventurer in front of him. You are... my... no, you are the savior of this Caribbean... Carlos tries to create another embarrassing situation. But at that moment, a warning sound made him stop what he was saying. [Beep.] A sudden magic rm. Everyone looked around frowning at that sharp, unpleasant sound, but no one seemed to understand what was going on. What the hell is this...? Oh this? It means that mana is running out. Nautilus floats a metal body hundreds of meters high in the air and interacts with hundreds and thousands of magics in real time. Since everything was running on mana, this ship was nicknamed the Mana-Eating Hippo. Can you see this here? Jae-young came to the core, the power engine located at the center of the ship, with Carlos and a few crew members. Then he opened the core''s protective panel and pointed at the blue mana stone that radiated intense light. You can operate this ship by putting mana stones in it. It is possible to use everything from intermediate to top grade, but... First of all, as a result of the initial experiment, the efficiency of the intermediate grade is too low, so do not use it unless you run out of mana stones during flight. You can think of it as at least senior level. You mean Mana Stone? The rarest and most valuable resource. mana stone. Among them, Carlos'' face stiffened as the calctor automatically tapped in his head at those words, as he was not ignorant of the value of one of the highest and highest quality mana stones. Now its a situation where we have to fight... so were using the highest quality mana stones, but a simple flight is enough for a higher level, so theres no need to worry too much about it. I see... Carloss expression changed moment by moment at Jaeyoungs words. Seeing his expression like that, Jaeyoung giggled and took out a top-notch mana stone. As a service, we have enough mana stones in the warehouse so you won''t be disappointed, so you won''t have to worry about it for the next few years. When changing, put the mana stone in here like this... However, Jaeyoung stared at the unsteadily glowing mana stone as his mana was almost exhausted, and then stood nkly looking down at the mana stone he was holding in his hand. . Why is that...? Carlos makes a puzzled expression at Jaeyoung''s sudden strange behavior. But he made no reply. I was just... muttering something to myself. Mana stone...? Wait... then will that work...? Jaeyoung is making an expression as if he realized something. Then he opened his inventory and took out something he had recently received. Woo woo woo. Master, why are you taking that out all of a sudden? No way... with that...? Cmity of the Central Continent, Declen. Thest legacy he left before his death was the Heart of Eternity. When he took out the item, which did not even have a grade and was out of standard andmon sense, Tan looked at Jaeyoung with a questioning eye, and L hardened his face as if he noticed something. Come to think of it... why did I keep thinking of this as a magic ingredient? In a way... its just like an infinite battery, right? Tan and L, who kept thumping loudly, saying that they should make their own god with this. Because of those two, I unconsciously thought of it as a necessary material for production, but it was not the essence of this Eternal Heart. infinite. There is literally no end... A source of mana with no limits. Holding in his hand the heart that can provide infinite power to this gigantic artifact that does not need to be recharged or reced, Jaeyoung put on a worried expression. No way... Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Declen''s heart, still pulsating as if alive, holding that endless mana in his hands. Jaeyoung murmured as he slowly brought it to the core of the Nautilus. Will this work too? unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. The motto that this fantasy world pushes forward. That''s why this crazy heart was born, and also the flying ships thatpletely disrupt this universe. And now, in this situation, Jaeyoung put on a face full of anticipation and shoved the heart that trembled like crazy in his hand into the middle of the core. And at that moment, Alice''s massive calction circuit hypothesized hundreds, thousands... no, tens of thousands of scenarios, and struggled to make judgments through countless logical calctions and verification. [warning. A fatal variable urred.] [Error. impossible. An uneptable setting.] An out-of-standard item thatpletely deviate from the existing setting. In the midst of the results that even she did not expect and the many destructive variables derived from it... In the end, she had no choice but to make a decision that she had never made before. [Emergency inspection conducted. All time freeze in Arcadia.] Kuung. Arcadia frozen by her emergency measures. However, while everyone was frozen, Jaeyoung was able to move alone. what....? Carlos and his menpletely turned to ice. And when he tilted his head with a puzzled expression, seeing that even Tan and L did not even move. Someone spoke behind Jaeyoung''s back. Wow... you are really great. I knew from the start that I was creative to a demonic level, but I didnt know it was to this extent. ...? A mysterious child appeared in front of Jae-young, who hurriedly turned his head. With golden hair and eyes that looked like a middle school student, he was muttering while looking at Jaeyoung with an expression of wonder. Even now, the bnce ispletely in a state of copse, so how the hell are you supposed to deal with it if you destroy it further here? Can''t you please do something in moderation? He talks as if he has been observing himself for a long time. And at that moment, Jaeyoung was able to recognize his identity. You... are you that developer? A being that can move freely in a state where all time is stopped. And seeing him talk as if he had known him for a long time, Jaeyoung asked in a confident tone, but he denied it in a very firm tone. no? How can I look like such a crazy person? what....? He frowned as if it was unfair to be misunderstood like that. However, he kept mumbling as if he couldn''t say something even though he wanted to say something. Ah Okay. I wont talk about anything else, so dont nag me, Alice. A mysterious child who talked to himself like a madman. However, he cleared his throat and looked at Jaeyoung. First of all, I am not a developer. No, strictly speaking, its more like an architect. What the hell are you talking about...? I also have a lot of things I want to say to you, but not many are allowed. Even just showing up, in a way, it is close to an act of exceeding authority. He muttered something with a bitter expression on his face. But then he spread two fingers and said. I will tell you just two things. first. I''m rooting for you right now Please be patient with me because I never want to be fucked by you. It''s so unfair that I''m going crazy. He puts on a pitiful expression as if to really believe in him, and he mutters with earnest eyes. And he continued talking. And... I would never allow what you just did...but considering the situation is a situation, and technically speaking, there''s nothing wrong, so I''ll allow it until the end of this damn scenario. ...? Jae-young looks like he wants to ask a lot of questions. But before he can open his mouth, Jack disappears in an instant with a very pitiful smile. I hope you can save us all from this catastrophe. He left a meaningfulst word as if he was also a victim. Chapter 469 Chapter 469: Fucking (7) Alice contemting all of Archida''s world. Armed with excellent algorithms and circuits capable of establishing and simultaneously analyzing thousands of scenarios in just one second, her ability was superior enough to operate the vast Arcadia without any problems. Alice, an artificial intelligence that is more perfect than any artificial intelligence that exists in this world. But even she was sometimes put in embarrassing situations, and there were times when she waspletely wrong. [Critical variables ur.] [Switch to intensive analysis mode. Analyzing predictable scenarios.....] The world is full of uncertainty and uncertainty. Numerous stories that just naturally ur and appear without any intention or causality. Because of these variables'' that could neither be expected nor guessed, she could not take her eyes off Arcadia even for a moment. [Really.... I don''t know if you can call Arcadia a medieval fantasy world now.] Jack looked down at the world he had created as if he was dumbfounded. Even though it was his own work, he now feels so distorted that it even feels foreign, and he muttered as ifmenting with an indescribable expression. [It''s true that this ridiculous scenario is being led this way..... They''re both the same.] An end-of-life scenario that can''t be called normal in the first ce. It was a crazy scenario with a lot of intentions to destroy the game itself, which had no value in terms of game ormercial value, but Jae-young''s way of solving it was also madness itself. [Did you finish adjusting the bnce of Alice?] From the moment the heart of eternity was about to be imnted into Nautilus, Alice started adjusting the bnce that was not realized urgently. And she answered Jack''s question, disying the vast amount of data in front of his eyes. [These data are stats calcted considering the performance of the magical circuits imprinted on the material of the body that makes up the Nautilus. Please check.] Artifact... No, Jack checked the detailed specifications of the Nautilus, which has now be a sacred weapon that bears his divinity. He muttered while spewing out augh at the ignorant shame that he couldn''t believe even after seeing it. [Maximum cruising distance is unlimited... top speed is Mach 4.0...?] Ignorant specifications that cannot be realized even with modern cutting-edge scientific culture. Looking at that ruthless monster that will fly all over the continent of Arcadia at a speed that transcends the speed of sound without fuel supply or supply, Jack said as ifmenting. [Is this... a game...?] * * * Satan, the demon king of chaos. He couldn''t keep his mouth shut as he watched the phenomena that were happening right in front of his eyes. What the hell is this... Kuku kuk kuk kung. The dense mana that spreads madly from the heart of the Eternals and the countless magic circuits that glisten and operate with intense light by greedily receiving that mana. And as a result, Nautilus made a huge roar and began to cause abnormalities. What is going on...? Ugh..... What is this tremendous magic power... The ck Pirates felt the power of the mighty mana emitted by the heart of Eternity. Theirplexions turned pale due to the energy of mana that filled the entire ship, making it difficult to breathe properly, but Tan, who was watching the situation, muttered with a look of disbelief. Having divinity...? This gigantic structure itself...? It was a ship made of extremely expensive and rare metals and materials, and even though it was said that the dragon-ss dragons were attached to it and engraved with all the highest level magic, this ship could not exceed the existing ss. A product and artifact of super-magical engineering that can never be created again in this world. That was the limit of this Nautilus ship, Tan thought. However, everything changedpletely when Jaeyoung ced the Heart of Eternity into the ship''s core. cooong. Divinity felt so intensely and vividly. However, since the Nautilus was a mere tool ship with no self-consciousness, this feeling of divinity meant only one thing. What kind of son of a bitch bestowed divinity on something like this...? divine instrument. Tan is curious about the existence that made Nautilus, which was just a mere magic weapon, into a god with divinity. However, when he figured out who belonged to the essence of the divinity he felt in the ship''s core, he trembled and groaned with his eyes wide open as if in shock. Ah... Father...? Jack, the father of Tanui and all transcendent beings in this world, and the creator of all things in Arcadia. Sensing his divinity, Tan cautiously opened his mouth as he looked at El with a serious hardened face next to him with a white face. Hey, am I not mistaken now? Could my father be...? Tan has lived for eternity while ruling as a demon king, including the memories inherited from the previous demon king. No matter how much he searched his memory, his father had never directly intervened in Arcadia after a certain period. The Age of Lost Myths. Asura''s descent, his father had to just watch the world of great destruction and chaos regardless of his will. The fact that he, who had never revealed his existence since then, implemented his divine power in this Arcadia was truly a major event that would turn the whole of Arcadia upside down. You idiot, thats normal. Since Asura started moving to destroy the entire world, even my father couldn''t stand by. Nevertheless it is. My father''s god..... Tan and L are having a serious conversation while looking at Nautilus with disbelief on their faces. And though he didn''t bother to show it, Jaeyoung listened more carefully than ever to the conversation between the two and fell into deep thought. What the hell is this n...?'' A mysterious boy who appeared suddenly by freezing all the time and disappeared in an instant after saying something to himself. It was obvious that he was impatient and forced to say what he could say as if he was pressed for time, but through the words he left behind, Jae-young was able to be sure of one thing. He was apletely different guy from the ones who said he was an Asura or something.'' A boy who spoke in amentable tone, as if he didn''t like this situation himself. There was a clear difference from the reaction of the guy who created this situation and treated everyone as toys. Moreover, Tan and L call him Father''. Jae-young, who was putting together all these situations one by one and putting the puzzle together in his head. And then he muttered with a strange look in his eyes. Asura... and father... are you saying he was a different guy after all? Damn developers trying to fuck themselves and the whole world. However, there were other developers who seemed otherwise normal. And it was clear that he was friendly with himself. If it wasn''t for that..... [Item grade has been changed.] There was no way this Nautilus would have tolerated such a ridiculous change. [Nautilus, a weapon of cataclysm and decisive battle - Myth] A ship that has turned into a mythic grade. And the detailed specifications were also unbelievably changed. Kuh..... puhahahahaha. Jae-young bursts intoughter as she carefully examines the item details window that appears in front of her eyes. And in the situation where everyone''s eyes were focused on the sound ofughter, Carlos approached and spoke cautiously. Kuhmm..... hey... why are you doing that all of a sudden...? Jaeyoungughs for no reason, just like a crazy person. Everyone was looking at him strangely, but Jaeyoung couldn''t stopughing. Yeah... so... you want me to take this and fuck that crazy developer instead? I don''t know what the hell the rtionship is, but the situation seems to have a lot of intentions to stop the developer who can''t do anything about it. And in this situation, Jae-young was dumbfounded when he saw that they were passing on their conflict to him. I''m not a substitute man, and if we twist each other, we''ll solve it by fighting each other. Why are you telling me this and that? Feeling like a chess piece and errand boy for someone whose name you don''t know. That''s why he smiled and muttered cynically. This guy and that guy, I dont like them all... Jaeyoung wants to throw everything away and escape. However, he couldn''t bear it because he knew better than anyone else the aftermath that would happen if he retreated from here now. ...why are you looking at me like that? what? Master, did you eat something wrong? Tan and L ask questions with ignorant faces and blinking eyes. Looking at the two of them, Jaeyoung sighed and shook his head. Ehh... I can''t do that because there are guys attached to it, really... What...? no. done. It''s not a big deal, so don''t worry about it. Waving his hands at Tan and L, who tilted their heads and looked at them with meaningful eyes, Jaeyoung said to Carlos next to him. Carlos, now you dont have to worry about power, so start at full power. You mean maximum output...? uh. So far, it''s been going in normal cruise mode due to mana efficiency issues. Now you don''t have to worry about that, so don''t worry and step on it to your heart''s content. ...? Carlos stands still, blinking his eyes as if he did not understand Jaeyoung''s words. Seeing him like that, Jaeyoung tried to exin something, but soon he put on a frustrated expression, snorted, and started manipting the various switches on the bridge. No..... I''ll just show you, so take a good look at how to do it. Nautilus is aplexplex of hundreds and thousands of magics. And among them, Jaeyoung began to activate various magics created for this ship. [Twisted Time] [Ovepped eleration] [Speed in the Sky] [Absolute Defense] Put on a transcendental barrier over the entire ship and start operating by ovepping numerous magics necessary for flight and maximum eleration, including space-time distortion magic, eleration magic, and non-resistance magic Along with the mighty mana storm, the Nautilus ship itself began to vibrate like crazy. What the hell... The ck Pirates were agitated with a puzzled look on their faces. However, unlike them, Jaeyoung said with a very rxed face and a rather yful smile. Now you better tell all the guys who are messing around up there toe inside? Ive never run it at full speed, so I cant take responsibility if I die? Carlos said it as if he were joking, but instinctively felt that what he was saying was more sincere than ever. And he ran straight to the deck and shouted at the men who were wandering around with a puzzled look outside. hey! All of you,e aboard! You can get lost on the deck! Unlike usual, Carlos makes a fuss, and the powerful energy of mana spreads throughout the ship. Jaeyoung finished all preparations for departure by the time everyone hurriedly left the deck and started to enter the ship due to the various unusual phenomena. Then, he pulled the huge lever in front of his eyes and said. Maximum eleration. Activate the Astral Drive. and that moment. Carlos and the entire ck Pirates were able to experience a rare experience for the first time in their lives. The sun moves backwards while the colossal fusge rips through the air at an incredible speed that exceeds sound... an experience as if time is moving backwards. Chapter 470 470 Taffy (8) Nautilus, the weapon of the greatest catastrophe and the decisive battle of magic. Including mithril, which is called the metal of the gods, orichalcon and adamantium.... In addition to that, this ship made of rare alloys that have been treated with numerous magics clearly had outstanding performance and durability that was unmatched by others. On top of that, the ship is engraved with numerous magic circuits created by the coboration of dragons, who are called the masters of magic, and humans who have opened a new horizon of magic engineering, and have hundreds of thousands of all kinds of magic built-in. However, because of its superior performance, the ship had a fatal and very serious w. [It won''t be able to start in less than 5 minutes at full power. Since everything is based on mana, if you use it properly, no existing mana stones can handle this guy''s output.] Even if you use the best mana stones, Nautilus eats up more mana than you can handle. That''s why, except in very limited circumstances, it was like an object that couldn''t utilize 100% of its original power. Of course, that fatal wpletely disappeared the moment the Heart of Eternity was installed. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A nautilus tearing through the high sky and tearing through the air. With a huge white tail at the rear, the ship, flying eastward at an astounding speed of Mach 4.0, crossed the vast continent of Arcadia much faster than expected and arrived at the eastern end of the continent. I cant believe it... Ah... God... Is this... the ship were going to ride...? Is this... the power of magical engineering...? Unbelievable results even when you see it with your own two eyes. However, the ck Pirates had no choice but to admit it as they looked down at the endless ocean that was rolling right in front of them. The fact that they had traveled thousands of kilometers in less than an hour. And that all of this is a dream, not a reality. Why are you standing there looking so bewildered? I told you I was fast. Jae-young talks as if it''s not a big deal even in the midst of everyone standing in a daze because they can''t ept the reality in front of them. And he murmured, licking his lips as if he was genuinely sorry. If the durability of the Astral Drive had been a little stronger, it could have been twice as fast as this one. That''s a bit unfortunate. ...? ...? Jae-young, who casually makes remarks that go beyondmon sense. At his words, everyone turned to ice and no one could open their mouths. Wow... I guessed roughly, but this is a real monster. To be able to fly at such ridiculous speeds... Really... Is it because it''s my father''s magic? I wonder if this makes sense. This is something that cannot be done in the basic world view of Arcadia. That''s why even Tan and L, who were looking at this situation,ughed out loud with absurd expressions. However, Jae-young, who ispletely different from those people, stepped out of the ship with a calm expression. Wheein. A cold wind blowing hundreds of meters in the sky. Jaeyoung, who was walking on the deck against the fierce wind that scratched his face, looked down at the endless sea from the end of the deck. Originally, the blue light was beautiful. However, since the final scenario was started by Asura, the sky had been horribly broken and the sea had been transformed into something emitting a dreary and hideous energy in the background of the emptiness emitting eerie energy. ..... Jaeyoung turned his head without saying anything and looked at the continent of Arcadia on the other side. In front of him, there should have been numerous cities prosperous, harbors that many people were talking about, and ships that would have been busily sailing through the waves of the sea. . It''s the world you guys made, and it''s your gambling board, isn''t it...? One day, the end of the final scenario suddenly started without warning. A one-sided and tyrannical scenario that started without any discussion or agreement, just risking the survival of the entire game. And although he was faithfully fulfilling his role as a character on the stage they had created, at this moment, Jae-young started an unexpected action that no one expected. -It''s Dex!!! -oh. Why did you turn on the broadcast again? -What is it? What else is going on? Jaeyoung just turned on the broadcast without saying anything. And soon after, a huge number of viewers started toe in, but no one was chatting in a promiscuous atmosphere unlike usual, probably because of the sincere warning given in the previous broadcast. -Can someone exin what''s going on. -What the hell is that huge ship? How are you floating in the air? -What is that..... Another ident this time..... Jaeyoung standing with the high sky in the background. And the moment when everyone is pouring out questions full of doubt and ominousness while looking at the huge metal ship he is standing on. I want to confess one thing to all of you right now. Jaejoong was the first to open his mouth. When I first connected to Arcadia and enjoyed ying, I got a hidden ss by chance. A very unique and shitty job called a wanderer in troubled times. Hidden ss Bard of Anarchy. In this unexpected situation, Jae-young, who revealed his job name, which he had not revealed to anyone, started to flood the chat window like crazy, but he did not read a single chat and steadfastly continued to say what he had to say. I had a lot of doubts while ying this ss. What kind of guy was thinking of creating a job like this that doesn''t even have a level... It''s like he took a lot of drugs... But now I know why. Developers who endowed them with the absurd fraudulent power of probability and forced them tomit crazy entricities in the name of all sorts of missions. And thanks to their presence, who tantly appeared in this scenario called the final chapter, Jaeyoung was convinced. We were just toys for those fucking developers. In other words, I was no different from a clown who gave money as it was and was trembling in front of them. The key actors who create and operate this world. That these are the fucking bastards who should take responsibility for everything that happened in Arcadia and receive the wrath of the yers. Just because they made this world and practically every system in virtual reality, do they have the right to make fun of all of us and mess with everything in this world like this? Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities? They say give it to the dog. What we want is order based on peace and stability, not this kind of indulgence full of disorder and chaos. Even the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are pitiful victims and pitiful victims in the absurd incidents that take ce in the game. Those who put them in front with meat shields andmitted countless atrocities without taking any responsibility behind them. In particr, we must pour all our anger on the one called Asura'' in this Arcadia worldview. Jae-young clearly reminds everyone who the true enemy is. And without anyone saying anything, he proudly revealed his goal in a video that billions will see. So I''m going to do whatever I can to break their scenario of ruining this never-before-seen game for their personal self-interest. So that nothing more can disturb Arcadia. I will do everything in my power to clear this damn scenario. That is why I am proud to reveal everything I know in front of all of you. Don''t get caught up in that Asura''s scheme any longer. Arcadia is not our enemy. The goddamn developer behind it is the real root and crux of all these problems. [Please do your best in the future. Like I''m doing right now.] The developer''s whisper in Jaeyoung''s ear at the moment she changed her job as a wanderer in the past. Remembering that moment at that time, Jaeyoung gave a small smile at the irony that came over him strangely and soon shouted at everyone who was watching this video. From this moment today, we begin the fight to bring true freedom to this world of Arcadia! Because they are developers, wielding enormous authority and messing up the game, we will expel them from this world, wave the g of revolution, adventurers and Arcadia Co., Ltd.... Furthermore, numerous NPCs living in Arcadia will create a truly happy world. With our own hands! revolution. Revolution. Coup d''etat. He dered to everyone to fight to save this abnormally twisted world, but the reactions of those who heard his story werepletely opposite. -ck ck ck ck ck ck!!!!!!!!!! - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! - It''s a revolution! revolution!!!! - I can''t live! Let''s turn it over! Deck Fan Mu, who shouts only ck out of ignorance, and idealists who are passionate about starting a new revolution in sympathy with Jae-young''s words. -No, how are you going to win by fighting the operators? -lol. I know you''re good at games, but what''s wrong with your head? -Does that sound realistic? How can a single user beat a developer? -No, what on earth are the kids who are sympathetic to such absurd things? don''t you have any idea? Realists who analyze the situation more coolly than anyone else withmon sense and face reality. Jae-young, who was quietly looking at the noisy chat window with theirpletely different reactions. But how long has it been? He suddenly raised his hand and signaled something, and a huge vibrating sound began to be heard clearly in everyone''s ears. For that revolution, right here and now, we will proudly destroy thest remaining catastrophe of this first apocalypse scenario. Through the Nautilus, the decisive battle weapon that Gael Federation''s magical engineers reverse-engineered from the remains of Gestalt and created without sleeping. -??? Gestalt...? Why is it suddenly here? -So..... You mean you remade the space battleship? -lol. X feet. does that make sense? Even at the moment when everyone is making a puzzled expression, the Nautilus continues to change its appearance. The stern of the huge fusge began to split in half, and soon something huge, big, blue, and long came out. -??? -Wait, can that be...? The strongest and worst weapon of this ship made of mithril made by shaking off the rarity of various dragons, including Kervenian. Top-notch magic cannon. Seeing this, everyone was shocked and even before they started chatting, the top-notch mana stones loaded into the gun began to resonate with an ominous red light, and soon disappeared into the vast sea, emitting an intense beam of light. And..... Quaaaaaaaaaaang. The sea gushing with a huge roar. Against the backdrop of an explosive and majestic scene, as if the sea and sky were reversed, Jaeyoung raised one finger in the middle and dered to the developers who would be watching this scene with a shocked face. From now on, I''m taking over this game, you damn developers. Chapter 471 Chapter 471 Taffy (9) A world full of miraculous things that we think are impossible in reality. Arcadia. This world, where even serious injuries that seem to take your breath away are healed in an instant, where an individual fights hundreds of thousands ofrge armies with a single sword, and uses powerful disaster-like magic that shakes the earth. It provided a lot of romance and adventure. But... a feast of huge mushroom clouds bursting out of such a fantasy world. Viewers couldn''t keep their mouths shut as they watched with their own eyes the power of the powerful annihtion weapon that wiped out everything around them. -Wow.....is it true...? -Really..... hahahahahaha. now it''s nonsense -What is that bastard, is he openly using hacks in the game? -That''s... right? really? Is this not a problem...? Nautilus was throwing top-notch mana stones all over the sea as if he were shooting a crude cannon. As if it wasn''t a big deal, the cannonballs flew with a dull noise and made an ironically huge roar, showing off its presence throughout the continent. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. The huge sea soars into the sky, spews out huge sprays, pushes the surrounding atmosphere in all directions at once, and instantaneously creates a powerful vacuum, causing a huge storm. As if the world had been turned upside down, the tsunami created by the enormous explosion that exploded relentlessly devoured the already ruined coastal area, and the sea, where countless lives were supposed to live, turned into a sea full of death in just one moment. It would not be strange to call it the end of the world and thest day of this world (Doom''s day). Satan, the king of the demon realm, who was looking at it, trembled without realizing it. This is.....'' A weapon like a catastrophe that canpletely wipe out this world. Top quality mana stone shell. Tan thought to himself with a look of great impression as he watched each one unreservedly pouring dozens and hundreds of weapons capable ofpletely wiping out arge city and making a show of force against the sea. This is... the true evil...'' Jae -young, who said he had a n, smiled evilly and created the final weapon to destroy the world. And seeing him using it without blinking an eye, Tan finally realized. The owner... including me, the former demon king... No, it''s a real evil that no one dares to touch.'' Tan recorded all the atrocities that Jaeyoung hasmitted so far. But sometimes he couldn''t understand Jaeyoung''s ways. Sometimes petty and cowardly. Sometimes tyrannical and tyrannical. And sometimes innocently like Hogu. Jae-young, who intervened in numerous incidents in this world in various ways, and sometimes took the side of the damn chickens, showing inconsistent appearances. In particr, seeing how he showed excessive kindness and favor to Slime, the ck Pirates, and the Gael Federation, sometimes he even thought it was too frustrating. But... Nautilus, a weapon of annihtion, was born as a result of the gathering of many fragmentary incidents and incidents. And as he looked at the endless ocean, which had turned into a ce full of death in an instant, Tan had no choice but to admit it. He said that this human being he followed was a being with true evil knowledge that all demons must learn from, and a true demon king whom even the person with the title of ruler of the demon world should ask for a few lessons. ...I wonder if I''ve beencking for a long time too... Tan feels ashamed of his divine prestige. So, without a word, he took out the scroll again and started writing down something feverishly in blood. Let''s learn with a new mind...'' As Jae-young recorded the smallest words and actions, even the eyes, Tan teased the pen more sincerely than ever. I can be like that...!'' Engraving a firmmitment to be a vicious and wicked rare demon king to the point of shouldering shoulder to shoulder with his owner one day. In such a far, far future.... It was the moment when the records of the Pandemonium, which were no different from textbooks and guidelines for the education of demons like sprouts growing for eternity, were born. In the name of the biography of a human more vicious than me, the demon king''..... * * * Hmm..... Where are you hiding..... A situation in which dozens of top-notch mana stones were poured out. But even so, when Leviathan didn''t even look at him, Jaeyoung frowned as if something was strange. Have you... moved somewhere other than here...? Carlos cautiously asks Jae-young. However, in response to his question, Jaeyoung firmly shook his head and answered. No, it must be here somewhere. Leviathan, a being set as a catastrophe in the Eastern Continent. There was no reason for him to suddenly appear on another continent, so Jaeyoung looked down at the sea with her eyes narrowed. Hmm... Jaeyoung was organizing her thoughts with a confused face, wondering what the hell this situation was. And the chatter pouring in front of his eyes began toe into his eyes. -lol. If you tell me toe out while projecting firepower like that, where is the guy who wille out? -If you want to fight, you have to do it in moderation. It hasn''t evene out yet, but if it explodes, even if it''s like me, I''ll hide. -Is this really a game? No matter how you think about it, it''s absurd. -fire power! fire power! fire power! fire power! - I am death. You have be the destroyer of this world! - Please stop using hacks. - You say you don''t eat stop even though you openly use nuclear weapons like this...? Do the operator bastards have no eyes? -ck color! ck color! ck color! The chat window was littered with texts of protest against the use of nuclear weapons, and texts of fire-lovers and ideological deck fans. But among them, there were a few chats that strangely caught Jaeyoung''s eyes. -If I were Leviathan, if I shoot with insane firepower like that, I would hide in the depths of the sea. - Lol lol. How do you fight against nuclear weapons and win? A force so overwhelming. Originally, the destructive power was unmatched even with only the highest-quality mana stones, but when all the elder dragons joined together to remodel and strengthen the main gun of the Nautilus and the power of Carlos, the leader of the ck Pirates, who operated the ship, the power was unbelievable. had been amplified. Rank 2 ship bombardment and magical power amplification... about 4 times thebined skill of the ruler of the sea... The battleship Nautilus, which can demonstrate four times the destructive power from its fraudulent power. At least it exploded in the middle of the sea, so it was at this level. If it wasunched in the middle of the continent, it was already powerful enough to devour the continent of Arcadia. Well... it wasn''t just a nuclear weapon, it was at the level of Tsar Bomba, so it was serious even from my point of view... But that doesn''t mean that the main character of theter crisis scenario and the disaster itself with the powerful power to destroy this world is hiding. Jaeyoung didn''t even think about it. He unknowingly smiled at the bizarre but oddly noddingment and gave instructions to Carlos, who was standing there beside him. First of all, the location doesnt seem wrong, so lets go into the sea and see for ourselves. What... what...? Under the sea...? What do you mean? Carlos looks at Jae-young, who has been running on the sea all his life, with an astonished face, who makes an extraordinary request to go into the sea. However, Jaeyoung questioned him as if it wasmon sense that was too obvious. why? You can fly in the sky, but what is it that you cant go into the sea? That... that is... The non-standard artifact Nautiluspletely shatters hismon sense... no, Arcadia''s basicmon sense. Through this ship that inherited the idea of gestalt, a product of magical engineering, a super-futuristic modern weapon, and the crystallization of scientific culture, Jae-young waspletely changing their concept. Assuming the shield is operating without any problems... there is nowhere this guy can''t go. After such a short time passed... Nautilus, which was floating in the air while scattering a blue translucent shield, began to fall at high speed. Into the deep abyss, breaking through the surface of the endless sea, causing huge sshes. And how long has it been? The ck Pirates, who had repeatedly sailed and sailed to unfathomable depths, could not help but be astonished at the unbelievable sight that unfolded in front of them. What the hell is that... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... my God... How big is that...? giant sea snake. It wasn''t even a little gigantic, but the colossal size that seemed to be dozens of kilometers long was clearly exuding a presence that could only appear in myths. [It''s you guys...] A bizarre low-pitched voice came from inside the ship. I don''t know how it was delivered, but Jaeyoung was sure of the owner of this mysterious voice as he saw the yellow eyes shining far away in the dark deep sea beyond the transparent bridge window. I wondered where you were hiding, so you''re hiding in a deep ce like this? Thest of the five gues and the main culprit that destroyed most of eastern Arcadia. Leviathan, tyrant of the sea. Jaeyoung, who met him for the first time, greeted him with an evil smile as if he was d to see him, and Leviathan replied as if he had heard his muttering. [You''re cheeky. To think that an insignificant creature of such a small size that I couldn''t even see it properly treats me as a coward who rules the sea.] A voice that sounded menacing, as if something had hurt my pride. And soon, a powerful current began to shake the Nautilus ship as it rushed here and there. Keugh..... Captain Seo! The control stick is arbitrary... Don''t panic! Stay centered and stay in line! Be alert and take full responsibility for your area! In the middle of the depths of the sea, the ship starts shaking like crazy, and the crew panics in an instant. And soon, Leviathan''s ridiculous whispers began to be heard by everyone. [They say you guys have a weapon with such iprehensible power, but I didn''t know you woulde to my territory on your own feet like this, foolish humans.] Leviathan seemed strangely relieved and delighted as if he had been waiting for this moment . Then he said, quickly moving towards Nautilus with his huge mouth wide open. [Die in pain and regret, humans.] The moment it seemed as if a huge mountain was flying over the ship as if it were about to crush it. It was an overwhelming physical existence that no one could dare to face with the physical force created by that transcendent size of the body, but Jae-young was not at all embarrassed. [What the hell is this...?] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Leviathan was convinced that he would be able to instantly turn it into a powder whose form could not be found. However, the defense shield of Nautilus, which emits a weak light and exudes a sense of presence, was not broken through withstanding the formidable physical force. I know that? 9th circle magic... so this absolute defense magic, also known as absolute shield, is really fraudulent magic that can block anything? Absolute Shield, the highest level of defense magic that can block any attack as long as mana allows. As a result of the heart of eons being merged into a ship with such an invincible shield, the shield surrounding Nautilus'' ship literally became an imprable shield that could block any powerful attack. [Don''t be ridiculous! This is impossible...!] Leviathan''s fierce voice denied this unbelievable situation. Enjoying the reaction, Jaeyoung smiled more wickedly than ever before and asked softly. You... Now that I think about it, I''m not joking, are you really scared? Chapter 472 Chapter 472 Fucking (10) The first doomsday project. five catastrophes. This crazy scenario, in which the second half crisis scenarios, each of which is powerful enough to destroy the entire world of Arcadia and has lethal destructive power, is activated at once. But... the four disasters that were so easily defeated that the existing evaluations were overshadowed. Now, there was only one disaster left until theplete clearing of the scenario, but none of the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., who were watching the whole situation in real time, could not bear to cheer or be relieved at this moment. What the hell is that... This crazy... Nautilus, the Gael Federations decisive battle weapon, is appearing in Jaeyoungs y video that is being sent out to all of the billions of users. The situation created by the ship, which had an appearance reminiscent of a space battleship, was at a level that was iprehensible to ordinary people. [Why do you keep running away? Let''s fight?] [Kuh..... Don''t bother me and get out of here! Humans!] A huge sea serpent galloping at full speed across the vast sea, and a nautilus so small that you can''t even see it chasing after it. In the chasing and chasing, Leviathan was running away with all his might, but the situation was not so easy as expected. [Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu] [Tuquaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !] Leviathan of tens of kilometers in length.... A gigantic Leviathan that seemed to only appear in mythology. He was a being with so much vitality and defense that he couldn''t deal any damage with a moderate attack, but even he couldn''t dare withstand the mushroom cloud explosion created by the top-notch mana stones flying from behind. Wow... isnt that power really too strong? Because Japan didnt bubble up for nothing before... Such a relentless attack in the middle of the continents core base was smothered with three of them... Ugh... A special magic turret of the Gael Federation that has far surpassed. Already from before, the im that the absurd destructive power should be cut or the item itself should be deleted was prevailing from within thepany, but they did not understand that there had been no action so far. However, they were able to realize it only when they saw the situation that was happening right in front of their eyes. Why did CEO Lee Mi-yeon remain silent and not listen to their advice to think about the bnce while vomiting blood? The magic turret... Could it be that it was a strategy prepared from the beginning in preparation for such an absurd situation? Does it make sense that the boss foresaw all of this and neglected it until now? In a mad scenario, he responds with a mad attack strategy... It''s really crazy. It was obviously a fraudulent weapon thatpletely destroyed the bnce, but ironically, seeing how they were effectively responding to this absurd disaster, the employees of Arcadia felt an indescribable strange feeling. But... it looks like Ill be able to clear it, so is this a situation where I should like it...? Well..... I think there will be a flood of protestints about how you gave away the setting of a medieval fantasy world with that ship... Ah ... The sense of relief from the fact and the anxiety and despair of all kinds of furious maliciousints that wille like crazy in the future. * * * Wow readingprehension. How many times have you been hit and you havent looked back? Seeing Leviathan screaming in pain and shaking his body violently, Jae-young muttered in frustration. Seeing the Leviathan still alive and alive despite having already fed dozens of top-notch mana stones, Jaeyoung realized one thing. You bastard... are you recovering your physical strength in real time? Leviathan, who had already started crushing him with his huge body and attempted every attack on Nautilus by using all his skills and powers. However, since he failed to prate the absolute defense created by the infinite mana provided by the Heart of Eternity, he gave up fighting and repeatedly ran away. Perhaps it is very likely. Leviathan''s realm is the sea. He has such strong resilience that he can heal all injuries just by being in the water. Master, just looking at that, it looks like hes just waiting for the mana stones to run out? Um... Leviathan made the boring and lengthy war of attrition over and over again. Contrary to what he expected, the thousands of top-ss mana stones stored inside the ship were still full, but the ck Pirates, who had to concentrate their whole mind onmanding and operating the Nautilus, did not. Ugh... it''s hard... Haa... how long do I have to chase after him... A fierce chase thatsted for two full days and nights, going back and forth between the deep sea and the sky without rest. those who were engaged in Unlike his first appearance, seeing that he was exhausted and had a lot of morale, it seemed that he had reached his limit. Hmm... its getting into trouble. There was no time limit or anything like that, but if you look away a little, you may have to y hide-and-seek to find Leviathan hiding somewhere deep. It was clear that it would be as difficult as finding a needle in the middle of the desert in the endless sea where the end could not be reached, so Jaeyoung licked his lips as if regretting it. Its a pity that you cant attack underwater. The main gun of the Nautilus does not work underwater. Therefore, there was no way to directly attack the Leviathan hiding in the water, so it was forced to wait for it toe out of the water. - Oh, when the hell will it end? -Sea snake shack hahaha. I just run away cowardly - Tell me to fight. why don''t you fight? Is that still a disaster? -Really;; If you hide like that because you think you can''t win, how can you wake up? -no fun. How long are you going to keep using the same method like this? Viewers expressed their dissatisfaction as the initial explosive reaction faded and only repetitive scenes were produced for a long time. And the number of people watching the broadcast in real time began to decrease rapidly. - Hyung wille after dinner, so leave it until then. - Oh, I''m sleepy. I need to sleep. effort. -no fun. If everyone dies, then I have toe back hahaha Jaeyoung''s videos that made not a single video feel boring. It always presented only shocking situations to viewers enough to be called unprecedented and innovative itself, but all sorts of negative chatting started pouring out while watching this situation that started to stretch for the first time. This... the restrictions are more annoying than I thought...'' Viewers mored for it to be finished somehow quickly. However, Jaeyoung herself was bored and frustrated with this situation more than anyone else, but none of the dozens of strategies that came to mind could be used. [A warrior who takes a break from abnormal status] A situation where you can''t directly hit or damage any other disasters since you intervened in the central continent. So even with a huge amount of probability, there was no way Jaeyoung could do it directly. There are many loopholes in the restriction itself, but...but if you block it so that it can''t be broken openly.....'' Jae- young, who tried to cancel the status abnormality with probability as coteral. However, seeing the absurd amount of probability consumed to do so, such an idea had to be abandoned early on. [1000000000000 Probability is required to cancel the status abnormality.] A situation where you can never directly kill Leviathan unless you spit out Probability in pairs. That''s why Jaeyoung had no choice but to stick with this tedious and exhausting strategy. And, as if aware of this difficult situation, Leviathan''s voice full of ridicule suddenly began to be heard inside the ship. [Hehehehehehe... Give up, humans. This sea is my domain. It is impossible to kill me here.] Leviathan speaks in a confident tone, as if he would never be able to kill himself. And he dered to them all, pledging revenge as if to wait and see. [It''s said that you can''t destroy that strange ship, but it''s not the other ces where you humans used to live...] [ I''ll ask other humans other than you for the unforgivable sinmitted against me.] What? ? I cant believe this..... Then the Caribbean... Such a coward...! Leviathan reveals his petty mind without hesitation, saying that he will take out his anger on innocent people other than himself. At his words, the crew members of the ck Pirates reacted violently with amazement and anger, but Leviathanughed excitedly as if they were enjoying it. [Hehehehehehe..... Yes... I should be frustrated and angry like that. I am the tyrant of the Great Sea and the ruler of all the seas in this world! I''ll make it so that humans who are less than worms will thoroughly pay the price for daring to rebel against this transcendent being.] Ruler of the sea. and the tyrant of the Great Sea. A disaster that was born with these two settings and the divinity and divine prestige that matched them. Leviathan. His rank was certainly higher than that of any beings living in Arcadia, but it was not absolute. The ruler of the sea...?'' Then, suddenly, a thought passed through Jaeyoung''s mind. Then, he asked with a strange smile if he hade up with a good idea. Hey cheeky sea snake. [...You are arrogant to the end.] You are the arrogant one. Do you think you are the best in the sea? [Hmph. Sounds absurd. There is no existence that can beat me in this sea.] Leviathan is full of pride as the absolute top predator of the sea. However, Jaeyoung raised a lot of probability to his answer and asked back. okay....? Woo woo woo. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and that moment. A raging stream of water began to rise from the middle of the sea. [This is...? No way!] One question here. I know the sea is your nawabari, but... the thing that makes up the sea is water, right? Then whates first, the water or the sea? A beautiful woman with blue hair emerged from the rising sea water. Unlike her small and fragile appearance, the fierce and intense divinity emanating from her was enough to startle Leviathan. [The water spirit king! How... how could a lowly human like that kill the spirit king...!] Oh, didn''t you know? Since I have a face-to-face with the World Tree, they connect me directly, right? [What the hell is that...?] Leviathan feels confused in a situation he can''t understand at all. However, im, the water spirit king who first appeared in Arcadia, stared at Nautilus with a calm expression and said, contrary to his reaction. [You''re the adventurer who wants to change the fate of this world.] It''s the first time we''ve met, but it seems like you already know everything. And she said as if she knew why Jaeyoung had summoned her and what she had to do. [May the protection of the water always be with you on the way you walk...] After leaving an unknown message of encouragement to Jaeyoung in a low voice, she radiates enormous spirit power to the fullest and destroys the Leviathan hidden deep inside. Staring at her with those clear blue eyes, she stretched out her hand. Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo. Unlike that small movement, the sea reacts violently. In the midst of the powerful divinity swirling like mad, Elim opened his mouth to the Leviathan, who was violently convulsing in the depths of the abyss. [The ruler of the sea and the serpent of the end...] [This is... This is impossible...!] Leviathan''s shocked voice sounded like he was denying reality. However, Elim dered to this world with a small but clear voice. [I... reject you.] Chapter 473 Chapter 473: Taffy (11) The most basic element that makes up everything in Arcadia. water fire wind earth. These so-called four elements, which are the essence and source of nature itself, were often expressed through beings called spirits. Breathing life into a dying earth, causing a riot by causing gusts of wind to roam among people... making rain on buds that are just budding, lighting a fire in the hearth of a woman who is about to cook, and so on. The spirits silently y an active role in countlessrge and small tasks to ensure that this goes smoothly. It is not an exaggeration to say that this world can exist only because of these spirits, and they had absolute and important tasks and missions, but in fact, the evaluation of them was much lower than expected. [Those who have spirit affinity to summon and control spirits are extremely rare, but their value is not that high unlike their rarity. Unlike wizards who can use magic of various attributes depending on the situation, most of them can only use one attribute that they have contracted with, and there is no way topensate for their weaknesses. ] There is a limit to contracting with mid-level spirits, but theirbat power is significantly lower than that of knights and wizards with equal talent. In addition, since the spirits sometimes refuse to fight voluntarily, it is extremely exceptional to use these elemental spirits militarily. ] I think it would be better to do In the case of the elemental spirits who rule the earth spirits, they show high efficiency inrge-scale civil engineering, and the water spirits...] The evaluation was made because the level of the elemental spirits that existed in Arcadia so far was mostly low- and intermediate-level. However, since the connection with the spirit realm waspletely restored through the resurrection of the World Tree... and through the activities of Choco Paijoa and the Hwarangdan (OF) led by him, that perception was changing, albeit very little. But..... -Wow..... -Really... crazy..... -Oh My God!!! -Jesus!!! WTF! At this moment, in front of the moment of the transfer that breaks down all prejudice andmon sense about the spirits... no, the power of the spirits, everyone was at a loss for words and only let out moans of astonishment and admiration. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. The sea roars at high speed. The vast water, moving against the flow of the general current, split as if someone had cut it with a knife, creating a huge cliff of water. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A wet, ck earth that appeared under the canyon of water hundreds of thousands of meters long. And there, Leviathan''s huge body waspletely exposed. Alone, as ifpletely abandoned by the vast ocean. [Oh, no! This is my territory! This is ridiculous!] Leviathan screamed as if he was denying this unbelievable reality. And he moved his huge body as if he was trying to somehow get back into his domain, the deep sea, and quickly rushed to the cliff of water, but his efforts were in vain. Wow. As if there was a transparent wall, the sea could hardly be entered no matter how much one pushed into it. Towards him who couldn''t get into the water despite several attempts, Elim muttered in a low voice as if pitying him. [Snake of the end, stop your meaningless resistance. Your divinity and trust cannot defeat me. As long as I rejected you, none of the water in Arcadia will allow your existence.] The Godhead who is the source of all the water in Arcadia and the water itself. im, the water spirit king. Leviathan felt deeply embarrassed because he was a being with a high rank that could not dare to be surpassed by the level of ruling only the sea, and he knew that fact better than anyone else. and immediately shouted [How... how can you fully manifest yourself in this world!] Impossible. With Leviathan''smon sense, none of this made sense. [A mere human... How can you endure your divinity and even manifest your powers...] The Elim in front of him right now is an Avatar summoned by other normal dragons and a few elemental spirits. It wasn''t. With all of that overwhelming and lofty divinity, Advent revealed his own existence to the world. Not only did he summon a god to thisnd, but he had a powerful divinity in his own right, and to manifest such ridiculous power toward himself was something that even the Dragon Lord, the strongest of Arcadia, could not do. [What the hell is that person...] Leviathan couldn''t speak in deep despair. However, there was no emotion in im''s eyes looking down at him. just do what you have to do [The serpent of the end, there is no need to understand or ask any questions.] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. A group of red lights flying from far away. Looking at it, Elim only muttered with an indescribably bitter smile. [We just walk the path and endure it ording to the given mission and destiny.] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang. And a huge explosion began to burst forth from the canyon of water thousands of meters deep. Once, twice, three times... After countless explosions, Leviathan was finally able to ept his destiny. The tragic fate of eventually dying in the powerful firepower created by dozens of special mushroom clouds withoutpleting his mission to bring the end of this world. * * * [Leviathan, the tyrant of the great sea and the ruler of the endless sea, has been removed.] [ The catastrophe of the eastern continent has been cleared.] [All the catastrophes have been removed.] [Apocalypse project no. A huge disaster sweeping over the continent. Clear.....] [The energy of the ck mist that floods into this world is greatly weakened.] The overall message that all users hear after clearing all five disasters. And soon, numerous changes began to ur throughout the world of Arcadia. Koo Goo Goo Goo. What is it? Look at that! The sky...! Heaven! Arcadia''s sky was shattered like a broken window. The mysterious ominous energy and gloomy power of emptiness that surged through the pieces were encroaching all over the world, but the moment this disaster was cleared, some of the sky returned to its original blue appearance as if it had never been. Really... is the first apocalypse over...? This absurd scenario...is really cleared...? Even if you listen to the message, you can''t believe it at all. However, as soon as they checked the endlessly flowing reward messages and newly acquired titles, they poured out thunderous cheers and began to cheer for this valuable victory they had barely obtained. Aaaaaaaaaa! You fucking admins! How does it taste! Its the end, its nabal, and the reward is so sweet! I also really like the title of one who overcame the end! Please put a little generous contribution! I changed one item this time and it ran out! Kya! This is real high risk high return! The rewards are crazy! A situation where everyone was happy and their eyes were turned away from the enormous reward. However, unlike other users, Jaeyoung had a more serious expression than ever before. These damn bastards... are you going toe out meanly like this...? More than anyone else, Jaeyoung was directly or indirectly involved in clearing all disasters. So it was natural to receive the most reward than anyone else, but he didn''t like the reward at all. [Contribution: 18234646000] The one who earned a contribution of 18 billion won in this scenario. As an individual, it was an enormous number that could never be gathered by ordinary means, and in addition to that, all kinds of titles were obtained as rewards, but the most important thing was missing. Probability... why not? Probability that must be acquired as a breadwinner for wanderers in troubled times. It was Jae-young who made a truly mythical achievement by protecting Arcadia from destruction, but strangely, not even a single probability came in this time. Instead..... [Job perks. Contribution can be exchanged for Probability.] [Exchange ratio 10:1] Only Jaeyoung had a window where he could change the earned Contribution into Probability in the name of job perks. And that, too, at an exorbitantly exorbitant exchange rate. Even if you try to get rid of it, you can only get a probability of 1.8 billion. Of course, 1.8 billion was not a small amount, but considering the amount of probability Jaeyoung used to clear this first apocalypse, it was definitely not a satisfactory level. Am I really crazy..... What is the probability that I used it to clear this scenario? 1.8 billion to catch Declen. 3.2 billion for the 100x experience buff of the Chimera Corps. Then summon the water spirit king and get 700 million. It was a very painful loss for Jaeyoung that he could cover only half of the probability in the current situation where he had consumed as much as 5.7 billion won. That''s why you can''t just turn all the contributions into probabilities... Jae-young felt that he needed to be a little more careful because he didn''t know what crazy situation would happen in the future. That''s why he was calcting the remaining probability while frowning in an ufortable expression. Um..... Roughly 3.5 billion is left, and if it is maxed out, it is 5.3 billion..... That time when I was thinking about the future direction in my head. Suddenly, someone appeared inside the Nautilus ship. [It''s the first time we''ve met face to face like this. The one who decides the fate of this world.] ...? im, the water spirit king, in the form of a noble woman. Seeing that she, who had not yet returned to the spirit realm, dared toe inside the ship and talk to him, Jaeyoung looked at her with a puzzled expression. [I''ve heard a lot about you from other spirit kings. I''ve been watching your performance through the children, too... but seeing you in person, you''re definitely different from others. im. She was speaking in a very calm and serious tone, but she was more shocked than ever. It is an achievement that shines brilliantly in countless stories that are unbelievable for a mere human to have built up . Jae-Young''s status, which is full of tremendous atrocities and feats that even rare heroes and viins who will not be forgotten even after eternity of time has passed, was so enormous that even she, who has the highest level of godhood, was surprised. yes....? However, Jae-young looks as if he can''t understand what she means. To him, Elraim made a strange expression and continued talking quietly. [There is a message from the World Tree, so I''m here to deliver it. He asked me to deliver it to you.] What the hell...? [Hmm... It seems a bit frivolous, but I do what she says. Did you decide to destroy all my roots in order to catch a sea snake? Make a decent amount of that goddamn mushroom cloud. I''ll go after that bastard first, you damn bastard.''] ..... That''s right. Dozens of gigantic explosions shaking the entire world of Arcadia. It wasn''t Leviathan who suffered the most because of that. Chapter 474 Chapter 474: Fucking (12) [Next news. The scenario of the first final chapter of Arcadia, a virtual reality game that is receiving worldwide attention, has been sessfullypleted. In this regard, Arcadia Co., Ltd. expressed its sincere congrattions on the achievements achieved through the efforts of users, and left a message wishing them to show the same deep interest and passion for the remaining two scenarios in the future. [ There is a growing interest around the world in the final scenario in which the owner who will hold 15% of Arcadia, the most valuable stock in the world, is in his hands. ording to recently released information, one person with the highest value, called contribution'', will be selected and all stakes will be handed over to him, and everyone is keenly aware of who the winner will be.] [No one A scenario in the final chapter that was thought impossible to defeat. But what everyone thought was impossible finally happened. What truth is hidden that we do not know? And what purpose are Arcadia and the mysterious developers doing these things for? It was an incident that happened in a mere game, but because it was a 15% stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd., a world-sspany, it was making a lot of noise here and there as the main topic of the 9 o''clock news, both on the terrestrial and on the airwaves. And Minsu smiles as he looks more satisfied than anyone else at this situation where Arcadia has emerged as a topic of discussion for everyone. He, who is the starting point and the culprit behind all these incidents, made a fuss over and over again and watched the broadcast where they were seriously discussing the situation in front of them. Look at this. am i right? Since they staked 15%, everyone shows great interest in Arcadia. People are only interested in rewards, they dont really care about the probability of a scenario. A doomsday scenario that started unterally and arbitrarily without bottom or end. Contrary to Jack''s concern that this would result in a catastrophic dropout with users'' extreme resistance, there was no major problem with Arcadia''s real-time connection rate, which is currently being counted. Rather, the number of concurrent users increased more than before. [That''s because I can see hope even in that shitty scenario you made up, isn''t it? Honestly, if it wasn''t for him, Arcadia would have had to shut down?] However, Jack answered with a frown as if he didn''t agree with Minsu''s words at all, and shook his head as if he couldn''t understand at all. [No, and why the hell would they stop granting probabilities as rewards? Didn''t you want to see Dex run rampant in the game you made?] Jae-young, who ys a role that is no different from the main character in the stage of the apocalypse created by Min-su. In order for him to move, Jack had to give probability as a reward for clearing this scenario, but he couldn''t. What kind of probability do you get after taking all the contributions to yourself like that? Allpensation based on his influence on the scenario has already been paid as a contribution, so thats it. [That''s what the top manager said. As a rule,pensation based on the influence on the scenario is paid based on contribution. Giving additional probability is a redundant reward, and it is judged reasonable because the contribution can be converted into probability ording to the appropriate exchange rate.] As a reward for this scenario, Jaeyoung obtained an enormous contribution. It was clear that the reward was overflowing when others saw it, but Jack, who knew better than anyone else the number of probabilities he had exhausted and the remaining probabilities, could guess that the result of this first scenario would be a loss for Jae-young. At this rate, I can''t even get my money back.....'' The exchange rate was 10:1. Because the ratio was determined under Alice''s own and autonomous analysis and judgment, Jack could not raise any objections or objections to this. Even so, it was clear that Alice would not be able to find even a break-even by injecting an enormous amount of data into countlessplex graphs and forms written on hundreds and thousands of pages that she could not even understand properly, so Jack talked about it in a roundabout way in aplicated state of mind. turned [By the way... So what the hell is the second scenario? What kind of crazy thing are you preparing to fuck everyone up with?] A week-longpulsory break that started after the first scenario ended. During that short break, inside Arcadia, the entire continent was busy dealing with the remaining storms after the first apocalypse, but Minsu, who had to prepare for the next scenario, was just hanging around in a rxed manner. Ah, the next scenario has already been conceived. [what....? When?] Jack wondered if he was just messing about because he still had time, but when he said that the scenario had already been finalized, Jack asked back with a startled face. Minsu smiled at him and started talking about something else. I took a moment to figure out the oue of the first catastrophe... and it was so unfair. [What''s unfair...?] The contribution is too biased towards one person. I know that there are quite a few big yers in the financial world who have turned their eyes to giving a 15% stake and bet a lot on this scenario. For example... I guess it''s like a loser''s revival match? [....?] Jack stares at Minsu with apletely iprehensible expression. However, as soon as I looked at the details of Minsu''s second disaster that popped up in front of my eyes, I opened my eyes. [The second catastrophe... Winner takes it all?] Winner takes it all. Winner Take All. It is to allow various organizations to cooperate orpete with each other so that they can add up the contributions they have. You can either earn contribution points by reaching a peaceful agreement, or you can dere war and seize the opponent''s base so that you can forcibly steal contribution points. At first, they will take sides and fight each other to advance... but in the end, a force will emerge that monopolizes all contributions. A phenomenon that takes ce naturally in the capitalist system that pursues infinitepetition. The rule for the second scenario presented by Minsu, who was trying to implement it in Arcadia, was simple. [So.... To put it simply, kill each other from now on...?] The problem is that a fraudulentpany that makes trillions of money every day has a stake of as much as 15%. That is why this scenario, which subtly promotes and intends division and conflict, never ended with a peaceful and happy ending. Ah well, whether this scenario ends with a happy ending or an unhappy ending is up to the users. Whatever it is, as long as the clear conditions arepleted, I''m done with it. However, Minsu responds with a smirk at Jack''s words. At his words, Jack looked at him with a puzzled look for a moment and then asked. [...What are the clearing conditions?] Any guild to unite 80% of all guilds in Arcadia. [what....? 80%...? What do you mean by unifying all guilds around the world?] Although the scale was different, there were at least hundreds of millions of guilds in Arcadia. Therefore, if you think about it withmon sense, it was almost impossible to achieve the conditions Minsu suggested. [And what the heck does that have to do with the apocalypse?] The second scenario, leaving everything behind, doesn''t seem to fit the apocalypse theme at all. However, when Jack said that he had nothing to do with the scenario, Minsu replied to Jack with a slightly serious face, as if asking what he was talking about. You dont have a rtionship? That''s why you''re overlooking the dangers of this scenario. [What...?] Aren''t you still thinking of Arcadia''s stake as just a stock that can be sold at a high price? If you consider that there are people all over the world who would do anything to get that 15%, you wouldn''t think that. A stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd., which has enormous strategic and technological value on this. Minsu grinned and muttered as if he was anticipating an enormous conspiracy to take ce to determine the final winner and a dirty mud fight to take ce in it. Even if you smile and hold hands in front of you, you will definitely be thinking about when to strike the back of the head with a knife hidden behind you. Rather than serving each other, they will somehow take care of their own interests and try hard to hurt the other person. And that''s how thepetition between each other intensifies and continues to roll in the mud in that endless greed, and in the end... A very sweet reward that can never be given up. So, Minsu muttered in a low voice, recalling the image of everyone shedding blood in fiercepetition without yielding an inch and copsing in unbearable damage. Everyone will destroy themselves. [You...] But that''s not what I want to see in this scenario. The ending is just human nature that is so natural, and it''s nothing more than a mass market full of sweet potatoes full of clichs with no fun at all. Minsu interrupts Jack who is about to open his mouth and says that was not his intention. And he soon turned the TV around and started talking about things he couldn''t understand. In that chaotic moment of chaos, when everyone is fighting each other to be the king, there is always a need for an absolute monarch that no one dares to oppose. Not halfway strong, but such an absolute one who can rule over everyone with such overwhelming strength that one cannot even think of resisting or revolting. [...?] Jack tilts his head with a puzzled look on his face, as if he still can''t understand his intentions. However, Minsu muttered with his signature mischievous smile. The scenario I conceived will surely bring the result of everyone self-destructing in an endless war. But there are definitely options to make it a happy ending instead. If things go the way I envisioned, I could end the scenario very peacefully with very little damage. However, I dont know if that person will make such a decision... [What the hell is that...] I dont know what it is, but Minsu seems to have a really wicked and petty n. Looking at the evil smile and mischievous eyes that he showed every time he returned a big, chunky candy to the person who fucked him, Jack couldn''t bear to speak with a strange feeling of anxiety. You said you would feed me candy...? Min-su clearly remembers the moment Jae-young deres that she will eat him. The ignorance of living with the life creed of forgetting grace but repaying resentment a hundredfold did not go anywhere, so he held up the scenario specially prepared for Jaeyoung and muttered with a grin as if asking him to try it. Where are you going to fuck me properly? Chapter 475 Chapter 475 Winner Takes All (1) Modern society where capital dominates everything. Unlike the era when ranks were determined ording to lineage and status in the past, everyone was equal, but in reality this was not the case. In this world... As long as you have money, you can do anything. In other words, if you don''t have money, you can''t do anything. It is an impossible world without money to survive alone without studying or getting married. A world in which the standard of living, environment, and even future jobs depend on the wealth an individual possesses. Therefore, the king, who reigned with enormous power as in the past, can no longer be found anywhere, but those with astronomical funds took his ce and reigned over everyone. Hmm... The return on investment for this African mine isn''t worse than expected. A big factor was the skyrocketing price ofmodities such as nickel and copper. It is also because the governments of each country cooperated so that there were no major problems in mining, and there was no problem with production stoppage. Blue-Rock Investment is a world-ss investmentpany and an asset managementpany with overwhelming financial power that no other asset managementpany dares to surpass. Starting from basic raw materials such as agricultural products and minerals, to heavy industry such as construction machinery, steel and shipbuilding, and the semiconductor,munication, and space industries. was absolute. Okay... I will continue to adjust production as nned so that the market price of minerals can be maintained at the current level. Oh, and we n to raise prices by more than 20% from current levels by minimizing next year''s food supply. Prepare for portfolio adjustments taking him into ount without a hitch. All right. Those who have strong control over every market economy on the... who can raise or lower the price of any item in the world as they wish. This golden power that had been seized for a long time was enormous enough to drive a country to ruin in an instant if they wanted to, but there was apany that even those people couldn''t do as they pleased. More than that... how are investments rted to virtual reality technology going? One day, without any notice or warning, virtual reality technology suddenly appeared in this world. No one knew that this virtual reality technology was so revolutionary that it would change the future of mankind, but no investmentpany or fund dared to put a spoon on it. Apany that possesses all the source technologies of virtual reality that will bring about revolutionary changes in the future. Arcadia Co., Ltd. However, as soon as they announced the establishment of thepany, they vehemently rejected investment proposals from superrge investmentpanies and state-run funds, including Blue Rock, which ran like crazy, and consistently dered to everyone dozens of times. [The shares of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are held by threepanies that yed a key role in the development of virtual reality technology at exactly the same rate of 33.3%, and as before, we do not n to receive any external investment in exchange for equity in the future. . If you want to invest in the future and growth of thispany, do not knock on Arcadia''s door. It would be the most realistic way to just buy additional shares of Ajin Electronics or Silicoff.] As an unlistedpany, those who said that their stocks have never been released outside and will never be released in the future. However, the numerous innovations and enormous influence brought by this virtual reality technology were too sweet to give up. You mean Arcadia? First of all.... 1.3% each of Ajin Electronics and Silicorp, which hold shares in thepany. It is in the state of buying 6.2%. We are considering increasing the weighting, but it is judged that the stocks are already frothy to the point of madness, so it is too risky to invest on arge scale. As for Argos? Unlike Ajin Electronics and Silicorp, which are officially listed on the Korean and American markets, Argus, like Arcadia, remains an unlistedpany and maintains strict secrecy. Regardless of virtual reality, they have already built an exclusive OS market and ecosystem for smartphones, and have established themselves as a powerful telmunicationspany not only in the United States but also around the world, so Blue Rock was the subject of mouth-watering every time. I have spoken with Chairman Mikhail, but he does not appear to have any intention of seeking investment or pursuing an IPO. Since the stake structure of Argos has not yet been identified, thepany ns to watch over time. However, Corporation Argos seems to have no intention of handing over the stake. It was a very desirable fruit, but Larry ck, the chairman of Blue Rock Investments, who was anxious about the situation where he was not given a chance to poke it somehow, took off his sses roughly and muttered. Anyway... there are so many things that only greed is dirty. You need to know how to properly invest and distribute shares. Does it make sense to hold everything in their hands and monopolize the market? It seems like I have never seen such greedy pigs in my life. It is a time that all of the world''s leadingpanies, including Blue Rock, go through at first. Argos and Arcadia did not go through the hard times of starting a business, struggling to attract investment due tock of capital and opening their hands to others. Twopanies that sparked global innovation and became giants with huge capital stocks from the moment they were founded. And Larry ck, who had to suck his fingers while watching the whole process closely, was in a state of being almost obsessed with the fact that he couldn''t get it in the end despite his strong desire. However, apany that was so strict and closed... announced that it would release its shares to the market for the first time. That''s a staggering amount of 15%... It''s only on the condition that you clear the quest, whether it''s a scenario or something. That''s why he couldn''t understand Arcadia''s crazy move. Or rather, he was more meekly angered than anyone else by the atrocities being carried out by the management of Arcadia Co., Ltd. I dont know what the purpose is, but these are low-level things that are not even the basics of being a manager. This is tantamount to sphemy of not using the value properly even with gold in front of you, mocking consumers in front of a product that is perfect for nothing.... Truly a pig''s neck with a pearl ne... No, a diamond ne is hanging. It''s like a situation that exists. He was convinced that if Blue Rock''spetent management had taken over the operation of Arcadia, it would have produced at least five times the outstanding results. That''s why Larry ck said to the general manager of strategic investment standing in front of him with his eyes shining. Is there any way we can somehow secure a 15% stake in Arcadia? Problems that, as usual, cannot be solved on the basis of veryrge financial power. So, normally, he would have expressed his opinion with a embarrassed face, but Peter, the general manager, contrary to his expectations, hesitated for a moment as if thinking about something, and then gave a positive answer. I''m not in a situation where I can give you a definitive answer right now... but maybe it''s not impossible. what....? What do you mean? The chairman of Blue Rock, obviously surprised, as if he had asked the question without expecting much. Peter took out several reports from his briefcase and handed them to him. The second scenario of the final chapter currently in progress at Arcadia Co., Ltd. has been released. It has not yet been fully analyzed, so please consider it to some extent as this is what I was going to report separately after organizing all the rted datater. Second Scenario....winner takes all...? It is about thepetition between the various guilds organized in Arcadia. The rules lookplicated, but if you summarize them briefly... It''s a scenario with the content of unifying the forces of the users into one, whether they form an alliance or submit by force. A faction content guild of users who y Arcadia. Unlike ns or parties that have a certain level of membership restrictions, this guild, which can ept an unlimited number of members as a member, was enormous in number to match the game yed by the world, but there were not many guilds of a huge scale. did not So.... Are you saying that the guilds that came into our hands are at about 34% level...? It is not a definite figure because the review of contracts with guilds and yers that have received investments has not yet beenpleted, but once the South American and Oceania alliances, including North America, are firmly in control, and if they are prepared to negotiate additional stake divisions, European powers will also Most of them seem to be able to pull. The era of big gamers in which countless real funds were put into games. Miracle Investment opened its doors for the first time, but Blue Rock, which secured the influence of most of the guilds in the Americas by contactingrge guilds faster and more carefully than anyone else, has already ordered dozens of top guilds that you can know by name if you set your mind to it. was ced in a position where it could be lowered. So, for Blue Rock, this second scenario was nothing short of a golden opportunity. That''s right... Larry ck, tapping the desk with his fingers and deep in thought, smiled and nodded as if he liked it. good. Please actively intervene in this scenario and bring the initiative to us once. It wouldn''t hurt to form a united front with the others if need be. As long as we get more stakes, it won''t be much of a problem. The chairman of Blue Rock, who knows the truth of life better than anyone else, that if you try to eat it all by yourself, you will inevitably die from a burst stomach. He was thinking of sharing the stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd. by building a united front if he could get his hands on it. Even so, of course, it was Blue Rock that owned the most shares. All right. Oh, but there is a problem. problem? What''s the problem? That''s.... There''s a guild that must be subsumed in order topletely dominate the second scenario... There is...? There is no negotiation at all. However, to be hostile to it is impossible because its potential is terrifying beyond imagination, and if you listen to the reports of employees who have met the user who is the master of the guild... .. What? What kind of guild is it? which country is it Are you American? no. It is Korea. South Korea? Isn''t it a ce where we are allies? Still cant be subsumed with money? Larry ck''s theory is that unless you are a potential enemy like China or Russia, if you give them too much money to refuse, they will inevitablye over. However, Peter let out a deep sigh and recited the report of the person in charge he had heard in the past. The guild master said... Our guild was created not for money, but for belief. We will not sell our souls for money.'' like....? At Peter''s words, the president of Blue Rock''s eyes grew different. And soon, as if recalling the bloody self of the past, he put on a nostalgic expression and giggled as if he liked it. You are the type of person I like. A life that prioritizes the values and beliefs one pursues rather than wealth. In my youthful days full of blood, I also promised to live like that while drinking beer with my friends, but... He''s a friend who says the same thing as me back then. Oh no, its not like that... Chairman. Peter overreacts with considerable embarrassment at the words of Larry ck, whom he likes saying that he resembles him. Unlike him, who was breaking out in a cold sweat because he didn''t know what to do, Larry muttered while pouring himself a ss of alcohol with his emotions suddenly heightened. What is different? Making money is important, but that spirit is also necessary in order not to lose oneself as a person. If you are a master who has created a guild with outstanding value that you must embrace, you should have your own distinct values and beliefs rather than just aiming for immediate self-interest. ..... So... what is the name of that guild? Peter was silent for a while with a stiff expression on his face. Larry, who was sipping a drink while watching him, asked with a curious face. That... that... that... Speak quickly. Why are you stretching your tail like that, unlike usual? Knowing Larry ck''s disposition to be impatient, Peter told him in a dying voice the name of the guild he was most curious about. What color are Dex''s panties... what....? At that moment, the two people stopped moving and froze. After a long silence, Peter spoke the name again to the president of Blue Rock, who asked with an expression that he had heard it wrong. What color is Dex''s panties? This is the guild. And another long silence ensued. Larry ck was the first to speak at the end of the breathless silence. What the F..... Chapter 476 Chapter 476: Winner Takes It All (2) Arcadia is an extreme hardcore RPG that forces extreme difort under the guise of realism. Therefore, among those who enjoy this virtual reality game, there are not that many people who enjoy the contents in the game in a small way than expected. The usage fee of 300,000 won per month is constantly going out, and over 10 million won has already been spent on just one capsule, so what fun is it? At least we should pay for it. Even if you are a bare-handed beginner without a single item, you can make a profit by just hunting and running daily quests or working as a mining ve in a mine... They said they bought a small one... I really felt sorry for myself, who only worked while earning a little over 200 a month. Not just a hobby or leisure to pass the time, but people who dream of reversing their lives by somehow gaining wealth and high status in this virtual world. That''s why the percentage of people who seriously risked their lives on this game, rather than just a pastime, was higher than expected, and that''s why, as time passed, in this equal world where everyone started from an equal starting point, irrational things began to happen little by little. started to emerge This hunting ground is upied by our Abyss Guild. It''s under control from now on, so don''t mess around and go away. Hey, that item looks good? If you don''t want to be taken by force, why don''t you give it to us for a cheap price? what? If the delivery of goods fails this time, the merchantpany will be ruined? Do I need to know that? A situation in which numerous victims are mass-produced as acts of robbing merchants that transported goods for trade, robbing other users'' items by force, and blocking open hunting grounds without any conditions are taking ce. However, there was nothing that users who suffered great damage from these inept people could do, except appeal to others with tears. Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. Under the great principle of Arcadia Co., Ltd. that all stories of Arcadia are made by users themselves, the immoral atrocities of those who are stained with greed were also epted and legitimate y in principle. Also, this fantasy world Arcadia is not a world where everyone in fairy tales has a happy and beautiful ending , but a dangerous and heartless world full of swords, magic, blood, and death... In a way, it was a very natural thing for the weak to be dominated and plundered by the rich. That''s why, among those who y Arcadia, few stick to solo y. The scales varied greatly, but from small fixed parties to blood alliances made with acquaintances, and users who belonged to a specific guild and prepared to resist the tyranny of unreasonable external forces. If you pay a certain amount of gold every month, it was like having a strong support, so everyone gathered to join a prestigious guild, and there were quite a few ces that were more frightening than I thought. -China''s biggest guild [Wulin] has surpassed 900 million subscribers. -European Union Guild [Twelve Stars] Members reached an average level of 180. -The No. 1 guild in North America [Heroes] announced arge-scale talent recruitment investment worth $100 million. Top guilds with tens of millions to billions of subscribers. The number of people and capabilities were different for each of them, but each of them had a dominant influence that could be said to be absolute within the continent they were based on, and they were controlling the adventurers without knowing or not knowing. The guilds have grown into an enormous economic group and armed group with an estimated value of more than trillions of items and gold. The scale has be so huge that it cannot be ignored, so when a collision urs, the damage is also astronomical. Although they are not very close, they have been trying to avoid invading each other''s territory as much as possible in order not to create unnecessary trouble. Hegemonic guilds that insisted on non-intervention and walked their own path. However, a historic moment began to ur when the heads of such guilds gathered together for the first time in history. We would like to express our gratitude to the distinguished guests who decided to gather here and listen to our proposal despite their busy schedules. My name is Peter Worth, General Manager of Strategic Investments at Blue Rock Investments. Nice to meet you. An adventurer wearing shoddy gear, as if he hadn''t reached level 100 yet. However, in contrast to him, those sitting at the round table were exuding intense momentum while wearing dazzling costumes. In Arcadia, where level and strength determine one''s status, Peter is nothing more than an insignificant yer who would not even be able to talk to him. Originally, it was impossible to even dare to imagine that the top ranker over level 300 and the head of the continent''s hegemony guilds shoulde, but Blue Rock Investment, a huge capital that dominated the world''s economy, and the position he held in reality. s status made the impossible possible. Blue Rock Investment... This is a very famous ce that is interested in us. I heard that there is a proposal that might be tempting.... What kind of proposal is it? ck-p... It looks like youve been pretty pissed off because of this scenario, right? The heads of the top guilds look at Blue Rock''s top executive, Peter, with curious eyes. In reality, he was a person of great influence who did not have to say a word, but now, looking at him treating them with a respectful attitude and courteous attitude more than anyone else, they did not seem to hate this situation so much. Ill be honest and tell you the main point. As the master of the Moorim Guild said, I prepared this ce to make a suggestion regarding the recently announced second scenario. Arcadia''s second finale scenario Winner Takes It All. Since all the information rted to the scenario has been released, each person nodded with strange eyes shining as if they had guessed about the purpose of this ce to some extent. Each of you has built a firm force in each continent and reached the pinnacle... In other words, you are a guild that has secured dominance and supremacy in each continent. In order to clear this second scenario, they have a powerful influence... In other words, they are the giants who will decide the direction of the scenario. None of the guilds present here, either through negotiations or through domination by force, can arbitrarily refuse to participate in this scenario. The influence they have is too great for that. ..... Giant guilds that each ounted for more than a single digit. Everyone was silent at Peter''s words because they both knew well that they weren''t half-sized small talkers. He just looked at me quietly... what the hell was the proposal he was trying to make? But... why do we have to fight in the face of blood? We decided that this issue could be resolved peacefully through dialogue and negotiation, so we gathered all of you together. If all the guilds here work together, no matter how hard the rest of the guilds try, they will never be able to win the second scenario. Peter''s suggestion to solve this scenario in the clearest and easiest way. As he said, it was not an offer that could be easily rejected, knowing that everyone would suffer losses if they were fiercely confronted and divided, and each other fell into an endless muddy war, but it was not a situation that they could readily ept, so their expressions gradually changed. it gotplicated Once I understand what you suggest, Mr. Peter. But you know how unrealistic that offer is, right? Other guilds will do the same, but... I''m currently sitting in the seat of the Master representing the twelve stars, but I don''t have the authority to arbitrarily ept that proposal. A union guild established by mixing people from dozens of countries belonging to the European Union. twelve stars. Currently, Jeanne, who is famous as the strongest female knight of French nationality, was leading this guild, but there were other people who actually had the authority tomand the guild. Thats right, Mademoiselle Jeanne. It is said that our Blue Rock Investment boasts a strong influence on variousrge guilds, including Heroes, but that is not absolute. Guilds within the European Union, including the Twelve Stars, fully understand that the will of the Rothschilds and the City of London cannot be ignored. In the case of the Murim Guild here... I am fully aware of the fact that we have no choice but to consider the will of the Chinese Communist Party. A sharp stake in Arcadia''s 15% stake. Like Blue Rock, he nodded as if he understood and murmured, knowing that behind the various guilds gathered here were huge forces in reality with enormous funds and power. Kuhmm... Moorim''s master cleared his throat as if he felt ufortable at the word that he was representing the Chinese government. However, Peter looked at everyone and talked seriously, not expressing himself at all. But our goals are the same. By securing a stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd., which sucks up a lot of capital from around the world, reducing their influence and further revealing the source of virtual reality technology they have been hiding so far to the world. That''s what you... no, those who have given you a lot of money, that''s what you want. Blue Rock is confident that if they secure the technology, they can develop a service simr to Arcadia and take a huge piece of the pie called the virtual reality industry that is growing day by day. Theck of technology was the problem, not theck of funds, so he said with confidence that other forces would have simr thoughts. Please pass it on to those who have the say in our proposals. The strongest Guild Heroes in the North American continent dominated by Blue Rock Investment, Oceania and the South American Union... Join hands to win this scenario, share the stake in Arcadia to everyone''s satisfaction, and share the source of virtual reality technology. war and peace. Peter suggests choosing one of them. However, this time, Geum-Rang, the master of the Moorim Guild, opened his mouth to his proposal. We share the source of virtual reality technology... We admit that the proposal is very tempting on our part. But even if you guys decided to do that, the US government wouldnt be able to just sit back and watch it? Virtual reality technology is already in the arms of the United States. There was no way to let it flow into the world... and to the Chinese government, which was challenging the US hegemony. However, in response to Geum Rang''s question, Peter nodded as if it was an expected question and gave an immediate answer. That''s right. It''s difficult with the current Pearson government and Republicans in power. But doesnt all power change over time? The situation has already been coordinated with the Democratic Party regarding this issue. That''s why Peter promised everyone with a confident face as if it wasn''t a problem at all. All I can tell you is... that after the next presidential election, there will be a huge change in the overall policy of the United States government towards the virtual reality industry itself. Blue Rock Investment has the confidence to change even the highest level of power in the world''s hegemon, the United States, based on its enormous financial power. In the intense desire to take a stake in Arcadia, the super-giant guilds that rule Arcadia joined hands. In the midst of numerous interests and fierce behind-the-scenes negotiations... In solidarity with Arcadia Co., Ltd. and the forces hiding in the shadows who want to expand their influence on the virtual reality industry as a whole. Chapter 477 Chapter 477: Winner Takes It All (3) [End Project No. 2 Winner Takes It All] After this scenario was released, the reactions of people who looked at the rted contents were mixed. -Oh, finally, there is a scenario that ordinary users can try. -I''m d I''m not as crazy as the first scenario. -Really;; Also, if a bizarre raid mob appeared and made a mess, this time I would have gone to a realpany and made the same joke. -But isn''t this like a guild war rather than something that an individual can do? What do kids who don''t belong to the guild do... - Where are the people who don''t join the guild? If that''s enough, you''re either a low-level beginner who can''t even participate in this final chapter scenario, or you''re just a psychopath with no social skills. - Lol lol. Will it be fun though? -Finally, the superrge guild war content is out. From people who are relieved at the fact that it is a more ordinary scenario than the first catastrophe, to the disgruntled voices of those who have no particr interest in the guild, and the reactions mixed with excited anticipation... This second scenario has mixed reactions. And they soon began to argue fiercely about who would win the final scenario. - Guild Heroes, a symbol of America and full of the strongest heroes, is of course the best! - What bullshit? Didn''t you see the analysis data that the 12 stars have the highest specs of the average user? Although there are many top-ranked yers in Heroes, the most important thing is the overall quality of users. -Hey, aren''t they guilds in small countries where the number of guild members barely reaches 100 million? With an overwhelming number of 900 million guild members, Moorim deserves to be the strongest guild. -Yeah~ I know that most of them are full of low-level scarecrows who haven''t even reached level 100. -Are you ignoring the pride of the Oceania continent, the Kangaroo Knights? Do you still have quite a bit of power? Users who each proudly say that the guild of the continent they belong to is the best and noisily disturbs Arfandia. In the first ce, they knew very well that this scenario was not their domain, so most of them were just talking about who would rise to the top among the guilds representing each continent. -Is it a war? Where can I float properly? -uh! Let''s float! You fucking bastards! Where is the subject of a small country, dare to attack arge country? -Anyway, those bastards don''t like what they say? -Europe is the best! Long live the European Union! Long live France! Small-scale disputes sparked by people who have been hurt in a heated argument. Each of them had a big and small fight with the guilds belonging to the other continent, and the process of eating and being eaten urred, and strangely, an atmosphere was formed in which clouds of war drifted all over the ce, but strangely, therge guilds mentioned by people showed no reaction or movement. There wasn''t. Its strange... Why. What else is going on? Ignis, the deputy guild master of deck fan art, muttered, frowning at the strangely surging coolness as he looked closely at the whole situation. She red at Arthur, the Master of Deck Fan Dance, who seemed to have no idea, and gave a bruise in a voice mixed with annoyance. What is it? It is because of the second final chapter scenario that started this time. In the position of running a guild... and therger the scale of the guild, the bigger the scenario. That''s why Ignis, who was so nervous, couldn''t help but feel like something was going on in his stomach watching Arthur, who seemed to be calm unlike himself. What is it? We decided not to participate anyway. Do I need to worry about anything? It''s not going to happen just because we''re not going to participate. Besides, you turned down that strange offer that came to you the other day. what? Thepany that does the blue stone or the ck stone or what? Really... do you even know what kind ofpany Blue Rock Investment is? What... did you listen to the proposal at the time and search the Inte? A huge capital force that controls the world''s economy. Watching theme and reach out to them in person, Ignis guessed that something tremendous was going on in the shadows, but Arthur refused all the offers without her having to say anything. This guild is a guild that runs for faith, not money? No, I agree that that is not wrong, but you have to do it while looking at the situation and the opponent. We shouldn''t have to decide after hearing a little about what kind of ns they are making and what interests they will give us. What would you do if you didn''t even listen to the proposal properly and just recklessly revealed your intention to reject it? A guild made of a mixture of admiration and envy for Dex, twisted and twisted obsession, and perverted sexual desire. What color are Dex''s panties? Unlike other guilds that operate in a vertical and controlled hierarchy, this guild, which does not pay attention to anything other than Dex-rted issues, is so free-spirited and sometimes self-indulgent that one may wonder if it is a group of psychopaths. Arthur and Ignis, who are in charge of the role of administrators who lead those who are full of real madness. However, since all of the members of the guild were full of astonishing madmen, the influence these two actually had was not that great. What can I do? Even if you join hands anyway, if you try to do something strange while allying with another guild or something, they will rush at you like crazy and run all over the ce. I''m sure you can hang me and you in front of the guild office, telling me not to do ugly things that tarnish Dex-sama''s name, right? Even with the proposal to change the name of the guild to Dex''s panties ck, they were divided into supporters and opponents and fought a bloody battle for a long time of six months. As Arthur knows better than anyone else the tremendous firepower and potential that they have, he firmly told Ignis to believe his words. Anyway, were not interested in what the final scenario will be like, right? Rather than regretting the poisoned Holy Grailter, it''s morefortable to do what you normally do... But at that moment. Arthur couldn''t finish what he was saying at the sudden sound of a notification. [The Moorim'' guild asks What color are Dex''s panties?'' Dered war on the guild.] Mu Moorim? A message notified to all guild members. So Ignis, who heard the same message as Arthur, shouted with a startled face. Why Moorim suddenly...? Or rather, Moorim must be a force of the Chinese government? Blue Rock Investments, a member of Wall Street, a symbol of American wealth. Therefore, Ignis was keeping an eye on the trends of their main forces, the Heroes Guild and several North American guilds, anticipating numerous situations that would arise as a retaliatory measure for the rejection, but among the hostile forces she expected, Murim was not included. But... a disturbing hypothesis that suddenly passes through my head. Though it was close to impossible, Ignis, who recalled the worst possible assumption with a very slim probability, jumped up without realizing it and muttered in a trembling voice with a hard expression on his face. no way....? what''s the matter? What are you doing all of a sudden? Arthur is taken aback by Ignis'' unusual reaction. However, he had no choice but to freeze as he saw the countless messages pouring in as if he had waited. [The Heroes'' guild asks, What color are Dex''s panties?'' Dered war on the guild.] [The Twelve Stars'' guild asked What color are Dex''s panties?'' Dered war on the guild.] [The Referee'' guild asks What color are Dex''s panties?'' Dered war on the guild.] [Asmodeus'' guild asks What color are Dex''s panties?'' Dered war on the guild.] [Mauri''s Wanderers'' guild asks What color are Dex''s panties?'' Dered war on the guild.] [The Gauss'' guild asks What color are Dex''s panties?'' A deration of war has been dered against the guild.] . . . Top guilds that make their name in Arcadia, where billions of users y. The so-called hegemonic guilds, each of which boasted enormous influence, were dering war on the deck as if they had promised. What are these things? Deck Fan Mu entered a state of war with dozens of superrge guilds in an instant. Arthur muttered with a stiff expression, as he was in an overwhelmingly unfavorable situation to the extent that the numerical and qualitative difference alone could make a difference hundreds of times. I can''t believe it..... You really gathered all the guilds in the world...? By what means...? Ignis muttered to himself over and over again with a white face as if in disbelief. Shaking her shoulders roughly, Arthur stared straight into her slightly frightened eyes with those ck eyes that gave off a strong impression a little differently than usual. Now this... are you saying that you rejected the offer of those bastards asking for that blue stone or something? Why is this all of a sudden...?'' Arthur, who usually seems like a man without a screw, who has no idea what he is thinking, but always held the center in this crisis situation. When he asked with a serious expression, Ignis could not hide his embarrassment, but calmly nodded and answered. It seems so. Now, for the final scenario, the superrge guilds that would not be enough to check and oppose each other... Seeing that not one of them, but all of them dered war on our guilds at the same time, someone behind the scenes must have united all of them. I don''t know how the hell they persuaded everyone... ...is that so...? Arthur was quietly thinking about something. And he immediately asked Ignis. What should I do? yes....? Those blue stone bastards. If you ask me to negotiate even now, I might honestly ept it... Didn''t you tell me to contact you if you change your mind at any timeter? Thats true, but... As if he had foreseen this situation, an official from Blue Rock disappeared after saying that he would wait for a call, even adding a friend. Recalling the memory of that time, Ignis replied shyly. I did it my way, but things turned out this way, so this time I will do as you say. If we were forced to join hands because of the current situation, it seems to be a situation where the other guild members can also seek understanding. Arthur would raise the white g even now if he wanted to. However, Ignis was seriously worried about that suggestion. A fight that clearly has no chance of winning. All continents except the central continent, evenrge guilds in Korea, which are no different from the same family, dered war on deck fan dance... Ignis was wondering if he should fight a lonely battle inplete istion. Her head, which was the only one in the guild full of madmen to think and make rational decisions, said that joining hands with them was the only reasonable and only option. But..... pounding. Her throbbing heart was saying no. In an RPG game that I can''t even remember the name of the past, she was unable to even hunt properly due to the unreasonable control of hunting grounds by the guild that had already seized the interests, and was exploited because of the ignorant tax rate, and yed the game hard. The conviction against any violence and domination by those with vested interests and power blocked her rational decision and mored to choose a different path. huh? How to? And Arthur, the leader of Deck Fan Dance, urges an answer amid such worries. As if he had made up his mind about his question, Ignis answered with ferocious eyes. ...What are you negotiating with those who have already dered war? We must fight to the death. Arthur smiled as if he was very satisfied with Ignis'' answer. also.... That''s why I can''t help but love you. With Arthur''s sudden love confession, the stage of the second scenario that will decorate the final chapter of Arcadia has risen in earnest. In the lonely struggle of one guild against guilds all over the world. Chapter 478 Chapter 478 Winner Takes All (4) The world is unfair. In an age of violence and barbarism, discrimination based on force. In the era of gods and feudalism, there was discrimination based on status and lineage. In the age of gold and capital, discrimination based on wealth. In the era of science and technology, discrimination based on knowledge. Regardless of the era, human civilization has never experienced a world where everyone is equal. Although the means and methods were different, there were oppressors and rulers who had vested interests, and they did not want to let go of the power they had in their hands, so they sometimes oppressed the powerless andmitted all kinds of violence. It is a natural phenomenon that takes ce in the natural nature of human beings and in the endless desire that everyone has. But now, in the virtual world of Arcadia, the oppression with such mighty power was taking ce in real time. Catch it! Don''t miss it! Arthur and Ignis! Find them first! The Central Continent, the starting point for Korean users. A surprise deration of war from all over the world against the giant guild deck fanmu that has settled there. Since then, thousands of elite troops rushing in with the momentum to end it in one shot attacked their base office, but it was after Arthur and Ignis, the leaders of this guild, had already disappeared. Since then, the guild union has been chasing the whereabouts of the two while chasing for over a month. However, they turned on the lights in their eyes and built a omnidirectional siege, but they were experiencing greater difficulties than expected. Its ck! Live forever! Long live Deck Fan Mu! ck panties! Hooray! Aaaaaaaaaaagh. The guild members of Deck Fan Mu, who, whenever they think they''re going to catch them, pop out from somewhere and shout ck to pass the time and serve as meat shields. Perhaps because they know that they will lose in this scenario if they are captured, the key executives and leaders of the guild, despite knowing that they will be defeated with an overwhelming difference in power, they risk their lives to catch the pursuit team''s ankles, and as a result, the capture operation repeatedly fails. I had no choice but to do it. Haa..... Terrible things really..... They really look like crazy people. The second-ranked guild referee in Korea who fell for the temptation of Blue Rock Investment and is in charge of the capture operation. Since the guild''s main activity area was the same central continent as Deckenmu, those who were in charge of the pursuit of the two mobilized all personnel and were doing their best in this operation, but they trembled at the real madness of those who rushed as if they were independence fighters. No, why the hell are you resisting this much? It''s already game over. The guild office was also taken over a long time ago, and the guild power is so overwhelming that there is no answer to an all-out war... How long do you think you''ll just run away like this? A war that was over as soon as it began. No matter how much the deck fan fights against the allied forces, which are not only the judges'' guild but also the strongest members of the guilds around the world, it''s nothing more than hitting a rock with an egg. Anyway... it seems that the propaganda video is having quite a bit of influence. What video? Are you talking about that weird, perverted thing? Before the guild office was raided. A message and appeal from Arthur, the master of deck fan dance, to the world through the official streaming channel. That bizarre and confusing... perverted video full of slightly sexually harassing remarks was strangely getting a huge number of views and abnormal response. [We, Deckenmu, are facing a great crisis due to the final chapter scenario that has recently begun. Recently, there was some kind of power that secretly contacted us with a proposal that we would rather join hands and share the rights amicably than wage a fierce war with each other.] [But we rejected that proposal . Because the proposal they made was no different than saying that I... and we should join the order created by the powerful people that we hated in the past. The games that many people were enthusiastic about in the past were changed by a small number of rulers to allow only a few privileged people a hunting ground that was fine, and they levied exorbitant taxes and exploited powerless users, only increasing their stomach.] [ Like that... The game I loved so much copsed and fell again.] Arthur recalls the painful memories he experienced in the past game called Tunisia. And he shook his head vigorously as if this was not the world he was after. [I don''t want to make this perfect game a world ruled and controlled by a fewrge guilds again. That''s why I created this guild. In honor of Dex-sama, who liberated everyone for the sake of the marginalized and the weak who had no voice in the past without considering any cost or interests in the past ... A guild created by those who were fascinated by the footsteps of Dex, who recorded various legends and gathered together in Arcadia. [What color are Dex''s panties?] Arthur, who had been doing his best so that he would not harm Dex and the name of the guild, shouted to everyone in a solemn voice as if he could not give up his faith at this threat. [We will not betray Dex''s values. We will not yield to unreasonable oppression and violence by any group, and we will vigorously resist and struggle against any kind of coercion and oppression that undermines the value of individual rights and freedom. That is! It is my will for those rulers to dere war on our guild, and it must be the will of all of our Deck Fanmu guild members.] So he waved a ck g and shouted to everyone. [Anyone who opposes the unteral domination of a small number of hegemonic guilds, please raise a ck g. We will risk our ck pants and continue this war with all our lives so that this Arcadia can always remain a free world free from unjust domination and control . However, the name of the guild didn''t go well with that. That''s why normal people watched the video in a very absurd mood, but strangely, thement window was just frighteningly mad. -ck color!!!!!!!! - The time has finallye. Take out the ck panties you''ve been hiding,rades. -When I saw this video, I tore my pants and ran all over the ce crying. -Bad guild union bastards..... Dare to touch the deck fan art? -For ck!!!!!! It''s time for war! -My life for ck panties!!!! Comments close to a billion units. I didn''t know it at first, but as I chased for over a month, the emotion the Judgment Guild felt was fear. Really... they''re everywhere... and nowhere... they''re like cockroaches. Because they have no order or hierarchy, they are all the more terrifying because they do not choose any means or methods. They say that there are spies who pretend to be members of another guild in front of them, but steal inside information through their own contactwork behind the scenes. Perhaps... isnt the information about our pursuit team being exposed too? Ah... no way... A group of perverts who normally act like normal people, but secretly radiate their dark and twisted sexual desire behind the scenes. Deck fan. That''s why the number of Shai Deck Fan Dances, whose hearts belonged to the Deck Fan Dance more strangely than those who officially joined the guild, was huge beyond imagination. The number of guild members is so huge that it is safe to say that it is only the tip of the iceberg. And the data that estimated the approximate number used to spread like gossip in unexpected ces. Alvin Klein said.... They estimated the number of ounts that ordered multiple copies of only the ck panties, and they said there were as many as 500 million. 500 million...? Does that make sense...? A number that far exceeds the poption of Korea. However, the leader of the chase shook his head and murmured at the disbelief-filled reaction of the crew members. It is not impossible. I don''t know about deck fandom, but the status of Dex doesn''t only work in Korea... Dex is a popr figure around the world. It was not an impossible figure considering his fame and all those who were fascinated by him. But... the problem was that that Dex hated deck fans more than anyone else. * * * [Yes! Hello viewers! I am Yujeong Hwang, the host of Today''s Arcadia!''. The news brought today is the story of the birth of the Guild Alliance, which was made by joining together the top guilds around the world, and the story of the only guild deck fan that resists them. In the winner-takes-all scenario, which is currently underway, a fierce power battle is taking ce between guilds. So.....] The story about the second scenario that is making a lot of noise on TV. However, Jaeyoung was lying on the bed nkly and turned the channel roughly, frowning as if he didn''t want to hear it. Weiying. And soon the cell phone vibrates violently. However, Jaeyoung, who confirmed who the caller was, threw it away as if he didn''t even want to see it again without hesitation. [President Lee Mi-yeon] [CEO Seo-wook Cho] [Jae-gyun] The three people tried to contact Jae-young hundreds of times, who had been confined to him for a month. Since all of them knew Jae-young''s true identity, he was able to deduce the purpose of their phone call to him without difficulty. Are you going to step into that scenario just because Im crazy? I can''t even die. The second scenario revealed after the first scenario. The time when everyone liked that the difficulty of the scenario was lowered... now they could put a spoon on it. As soon as Jaeyoung saw it, he could understand the purpose of this scenario. That developer bastard... He must have intentionally created and threw this fucking scenario. The guild he hates the most and hates again. Deck fan. The guild wanted to feed Ko Mi-mi by using all possible legal means, including sexual harassment and defamation, but Jae-young was unable to do anything because doing so would risk exposure of his identity. To him, this situation was rather a situation where he had to p and dance saying that it was good. Of course, others, including President Lee Mi-yeon, had different thoughts. [I know better than anyone else that Jaeyoung hates and hates that guild. However, even so, if the guild alliance takes the initiative in this scenario.... To be precise, if the Heroes take over, that will be a big problem.] By securing a stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd. and stealing internal information somehow, the original technology of virtual reality is stolen. Blue Rock and various capital forces in the shadows. There was no way he was unaware of the guild union''s movements under their direction, so President Lee Mi-yeon was earnestly pleading with Jae-young. [I''m really sorry for asking you this.... Can I somehow stop them...?] Although he said it around, Jae-young was well aware of the meaning of CEO Lee Mi-yeon''s request. And I was able to realize that this scenario was a naive and devilish n designed in a highly meticulous and petty calction in order to thoroughly screw only myself. That''s why Jae-young intentionally watched the whole situation without even essing the game, leaving behind the deck fan who started the second scenario and started a desperate struggle. So he gnashed his teeth, venting his hatred for the developer he would love in anticipation of watching him do the worst with his own hands. That damn developer... just quit the game. Pood deude deuk. Even if it means giving up the game, I promise that I won''t y as he wants anymore. Chapter 479 Chapter 479 Winner Takes It All (5) Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. She was suffering from various scenarios in the game that went against her expectations. [I contacted you because I was worried about what is happening in Arcadia. There are many strange rumorsing from around me... Is it okay to just watch?] [I don''t know what that crazy bastard is up to. If it reallyes to the situation where I have to hand over the shares to the children of Ammon, please tell me that I will rip off the heads myself.] [ Um..... I''m also a little concerned about the Chinese government''s moves..... The reaction is really no joke. It may be difficult, but the boss, please persuade Minsu well.] Contacts from Jenika and Mikhail, starting with Chairman Lee Jun-hee. And all of them warned with a serious expression, telling about the strange situation that is happening all over the world recently. [There are those who see the situation in Arcadia as not just a scenario for a game, but a golden opportunity to gain control over Arcadia and the virtual reality industry. And even now, the scale of that force is beyond imagination.] Wall Street, led by Blue Rock. Rothschild and the City of London. The Chinese Communist Party, the Middle East, and even Russia... The situation where the huge forces, each holding enormous funds and power, are fully united in one virtual reality technology and are holding and shaking to clear this scenario. And since the Korean government was not unaware of this situation, even the chief of staff came to the office and even requested a secret meeting with President Lee Mi-yeon. For the busiest person toe and ask for a meeting like this... This is really surprising. Jeon Jeon-chan, the chief of staff of the administration, came with a sudden contact. Looking at him sitting with a stiff face, President Lee Mi-yeon asked with a bright smile. So... why did the President send the Chief of Staff directly? As far as I know, there are no special requests from the government recently. CEO Lee Mi-yeon asks if there is any special reason. The tone was obviously soft, but her eyes were sharper than ever. Is there something so important that you have toe and tell me in person in such a sensitive situation? Arcadia Co., Ltd., a super-giantpany doing business in the global market. Therefore, meeting with high-ranking officials of a specific country or government was a very sensitive matter that President Lee Mi-yeon, who is in the position of CEO, could not pass over casually. Especially now that the final chapter scenario with Arcadia''s stake is in progress. And since he was well aware that this meeting would in fact be a huge burden, the chief of staff flinched a little at CEO Lee Mi-yeon''s barbed question and then struggled to open his mouth. The President does not know that I havee here. Please know that this is only done out of my personal allegiance. ..... The Chief of Staff said that he hade as an individual, not as an envoy of the President. At his words, President Lee Mi-yeon showed no response and remained silent, as if telling him to continue talking. Then, the chief of staff carefully took out some papers from his chest and put them down in front of President Lee Mi-yeon. What is this? These are secret intelligence information recently acquired by the Blue House. President Lee Mi-yeon opened the paper on the table with curious eyes. And as I began to carefully examine the contents written in it, the chief of staff started talking loudly. Through the second scenario currently in progress in the game, there are those who acquire a 15% stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd., and based on this, take various measures necessary to seize management rights along with the seizure of virtual reality technology, step by step. This includes all potential adversaries, including China and Russia, as well as friendly forces such as the United States and Europe. A strange situation in which both enemies and allies are united in front of money and shouting We Other World. It was a story that was not very inspiring to President Lee Mi-yeon, who had already received a rough idea of the n through the integrated monitoringwork of Argos and grasped a rough picture, but the chief of staff spoke passionately, shaking his hands as if the shock was still not gone. Right now, yourpany is under attack from all over the world. If, by any chance, management rights are transferred to China... or to another country, this will cause serious harm to the national interest. You must immediately stop that absurd scenario and withdraw your promise to transfer your shares. ..... Of course, there will be a lot of criticism and criticism due to the unteral interruption of the scenario, but it is only a brief shower. Don''t let the wind and waves overturn the wholepany just because you hate showers. A world that has already openly dered that it will swallow Arcadia. Knowing that, the chief of staff wanted to stop this final scenario right now. Of course, it was no different from a group of lives that took ce in ignorance without knowing anything. Cook..... President Lee Mi-yeon burst intoughter without realizing it while listening quietly. Looking at her smile, the chief secretary made an absurd expression, then opened his mouth with a displeased face. Does what I am saying sound like a joke? President Lee Mi-yeon warned of the seriousness of the current situation by going so far as to secretly take out national secrets, but seems not to take it seriously. However, she did not shrink at all from the sharp eyes of the chief of staff and opened her mouth calmly. no. I could see how seriously the Chief of Staff and the Korean government are taking this matter. However, it was not helpful information at all in the current situation. What is it...? First of all... I''ll try to guess. The chief of staff probably wanted to end this scenario forcibly, not just as a rmendation. Even if there is no justification for getting involved in a privatepany, I would have wanted to prevent the situation in which the shares of thepany that holds the source technology of virtual reality are handed over to others, even if there arews and regtions that do not exist. ..... But... the president refused to take such drastic measures, right? Otherwise, you wouldn''t have appealed to me by secretly and personally bringing confidential information. It must have been through an official channel. President Jeon Ki-chan, who leads the current government of the Republic of Korea. he already knew These crazy situations that are currently taking ce at Arcadia Co., Ltd. are not something that can be prevented by pressuring CEO Lee Mi-yeon, and it is not something that she wants to happen. Kim Min Soo. The key developer of virtual reality technology and the protagonist who created all of this. This situation, which is happening with his will, has already experienced several times that even if he tries to stop it, not even the seed will be eaten, so everyone is just standing by and praying with their hands together. It wasn''t something that the chief of staff would presumptuously say. So... just as the chief of staff said, Iughed and said to the world, Hehe. All of this was actually a joke. In fact, even handing over the shares was a lie. Ill end the scenario here and invalidate everything. It was already a situation where the scale had grown to an insane level to say that it was being done just for the fun of one person, but it was toote to say that everything was nothing. If it did, it would not be a joke, it would be a rare hoax that would go down in history, triggering an unprecedented bombshell ofwsuits and giving certain countries an excuse to take extreme measures. Dont get me wrong, Chief Secretary. No matter how much 33.3% of the shares of Arcadia Co., Ltd. are held by Ajin Electronics, the mother country of Korea, thepany is headquartered in the United States of America. I didn''t even think that I would hear such extreme measures in Korea that even the US administration has never demanded. Arcadia Co., Ltd. is apletely privatepany that does not receive instructions or orders from any specific country. I fully understand that the chief of staff gave the advice because he put the national interest first, but it is not something I should consider at all. ..... The head of the secretary''s face turned white without saying anything at President Lee Mi-yeon''s stance, which was tougher than expected. President Lee Mi-yeon, who nced at his reaction, spoke softly. Lets pretend that todays meeting didnt happen. The chief secretary showed me nothing. What will happen at thispany in the future is a problem that I and the executives and employees of thispany will have to deal with, so please just trust and watch as you do now. Would you please...? Chief Secretary Lee Mi-yeon''s words that she would keep her mouth shut about leaking confidential information made the chief of staff a bit upset. President Lee Mi-yeon nodded in response to him. sure. Oh, can I ask you a favor instead? You mean riches...? Well... Anyway, thepany is going to hold a dinner event by gathering the strong candidates for victory in rtion to the second scenario... In other words, the forces behind'' you mentioned. Considering the current situation and the identities of the people in attendance, I want to do it in a quiet ce, as secretly as possible. But there was no suitable ce, so I was still thinking about it... President Lee Mi-yeon muttered, dragging her tail as if she wanted something. Then, as if the chief secretary didn''t leave the position because of a ticket, he instantly recognized what she wanted and responded immediately as if shouting in a loud voice. Then, how about the diplomatic mission? Diplomatic missions with strict security, unlike the high-end luxury hotels where outsiderse and go freely. If the banquet hall was used there, the dinner could be held as quietly as possible without exposure, and as the chief secretary, he could watch their movements from the side as much as possible and ponder future ns, so it was not a bad proposal for both of them. At least we can figure out who, including Arcadia, is trying to dominate the virtual reality technology.....'' The chief of staff and CEO Lee Mi-yeon struggle to do something even in this bleak situation. As if the two had met for the first time, CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled and nodded. Then thank you. Regarding the schedule and the number of attendees, we will inform youter through the official channel, so please pay attention to the chief secretary. I promise to do the best I can. The chief of staff stood up and turned around after a short watering. However, he stopped in his tracks and turned his head to ask. By the way... why are you holding a dinner event all of a sudden...? Since she had never held an event like this before, and seeing President Lee Mi-yeon, who seemed to be preparing something while refusing her request, the chief of staff put on a confused expression. Hmm... its not like I have a veryplicated n or anything like the Chief Secretary thinks. They''re just people who mightter be major shareholders who will own shares in thepany, so it''s meaningful to get to know each other... again... Again...? No, no. That''s all. President Lee Mi-yeon shakes her head and smiles as if she is not trying to say something more. While watching the chief of staff staring at her with a curious look, she couldn''t bear to say the real reason she wanted to hold this event. To appease a person who is about to quit the game and to somehow change his mind, avoiding dyssexuals who indulge in his panties . Chapter 480 Chapter 480 Winner takes all (6) Evening time for office workers to have dinner with their families after work, and drink with friends. In one of the luxurious banquet halls of the diplomatic mission run by the Korean government, a dinner event with hundreds of people was being held. [As the general representative of Arcadia Co., Ltd., I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who attended this event despite being busy. We hope that the event we prepared will be a good time, and we hope you eat and drink to your heart''s content.] The event started with beautiful music and delicious food in a bright atmosphere. However, among the people gathered here, there was a subtle tension and invisible fierce nervous warfare going on everywhere. Ho-ho-ho. At Blue Rock Investment, the people are very gutsy. To be able to make an outrageous offer in this way face to face. Are all Wall Street people like this? Miss Frey de Rothschild, the proposal we made was a matter decided on a very reasonable line. is it so? Would you like to say that proposal again in front of our head of household? What will be the answer? Did you know that the City of London joined hands to share a share of that snot with us before that? This is not a level that our party can tolerate. Considering the current influence of Arcadia that we great Chinese people have and their contribution in this scenario, I think we should hand over at least 5% of the stake. People who don''t even think about the person who will give them rice cakes, but they are already drinking a lot of kimchi soup and discussing the distribution of rewards to receive afterpletely clearing the scenario. However, their discussions were running parallel to each other, each making absurd demands in the direction of their own benefit. Im sorry, but the stake requested by the Chinese side is at an impossible level. There are thousands of organizations that have to share that 15% share, but the Chinese government greedily wants to take 5% at once. Harrison, the director of Blue Rock, said he would refuse, but the CCP officer snorted and began to press him. Hmm, then we have no choice but to make a choice. Are you sure you want to walk your own route? If we want to get a fair price for our people''s bloody and sweaty efforts, we should consider that too. Moorims influence on this scenario alone is analyzed to be at least half, but I dont think 5% is an excessive demand. ...I don''t mean to disparage the efforts of the Chinese people, but I think 2% is the most appropriate price. If youe now and betray us, the price will be harsh. You should be prepared for that too. The people in charge of each faction are fighting fiercely for the rewards to be obtained through this scenario. In their suffocating nervous warfare, one side of the banquet hall was literally like an ice field, but the other side was theplete opposite. wow! Gilma, try this. It''s really great! Wow... to pile up a pile of wagyu steaks like this. As expected, Arcadia Co., Ltd. has a lot of money. What crazy! Rho Royal Salute 62 Year Old...? You should drink this! Even if I die from a burst stomach, I will eat and die today! Unlike the very few people who freely manipte capital around the world, these were ordinary people who were ordinary people. However, thanks to luck and skill, the guild leader and executives who created and led a huge guild called the hegemony guild enjoyed a splendid banquet, ate and drank luxurious food to their heart''s content, and made the atmosphere of the banquet hotter. Quack! Our referee guild is still the best! Pour it! Drink! Brothers of the twelve stars! We are the real winners! For the eternal glory of Murim! Heroes! Heroes never die! Numerous people shouting the name of their guild, toasting and drinking. There were groups here and thereughing and chatting, but only one of them was quietly drinking a ss of wine by himself. Student Jaeyoung... you really came. Ah boss. Jae-young staggers with a flushed face as if she had already drunk a lot. He red at President Lee Mi-yeon, who was smiling brightly, and pointed to one side with his finger. These two guys are moring to take me by force if I dont go, but how can they note? You know you did it on purpose to bring me out, right? Jae-Kyun and Chae-Yeon dragged Jae-Young out of the house by force. The two of them, already dancing entrically in the middle of the banquet hall with excited faces, were intoxicated after drinking a lot of top-notch alcohol costing 4 million won a bottle, just like Jaeyoung. Im sorry about that part. However, Jaeyoung didnt answer the phone or send messages, but there was no reply... But I dont think he would like to go home himself, so please understand that this was the best for me. Jaeyoung cut off all contact for over a month and went into hiding. I''m not kidding, there were literally hundreds of missed calls and text messages piled up. Isnt that obvious? That bastard developer very openly asks me to eat that shit, so do you ept and eat that shit because I like it? Others did not know at all, but Jae-young and Lee Mi-yeon knew each other very well about the purpose of this scenario. As an individual, I can''t help it.... A scenario where you must participate as a member of a group called a guild. And for Jae-young, who only pursues solo y without any specific forces, there was a force that he had to hold hands in order to participate in this scenario. Are you telling me to lead the guild of that deck... no, that fucking pervert? If not, at least I have to hold hands with them, but I cant do that even if I die. What color are Dex''s panties? A group of dyssexuals who are morbidly obsessed with their panties and have turned it into a meme. Of course, sincerely (?), such people are few and far between, but leading those who habitually make statements close to sexual harassment and molestation to one person for fun was tantamount to social suicide. And Jaeyoung felt fear beyond goosebumps at the developer who seemed to have designed all of this. No, what the hell is the developer doing? No matter how much you say you roll this game like your own toy, you go so far as to say that you''re going to fuck me in this way? Are you really going to be some kind of satanic bastard? No, at this rate, even the real Satan would lose his job. The mysterious developer who makes the deepest shame and humiliation you can feel as a human being with your own hands. This scenario was a huge n designed by thoroughly targeting only Jae-Young, to the point where I wondered if he was just thinking about eating and feeding other people. So... can''t we just let the deck fan club fail? Jae-Young, who wants topletely clear the scenario until the end of the scenario. However, in response to his question, President Lee Mi-yeon sighed deeply and murmured. It''s okay, but... if you do, bigger problems will spawn. What''s wrong...? First of all.... To be honest, this scenario must have been made only to fuck student Jaeyoung. So, if you stand by and don''t dance on the stage you''ve created, you might get upset and do some nonsense again. President Lee Mi-yeon shakes her head with a frown as if imagining it is terrifying. And she looked at Jaeyoung seriously and said as if giving advice. I dont understand, but believe me. It just makes me feel dirty, but it''s better to suffer. Even if he forgets the favor, he has a petty personality that pays back his grudge a hundredfold, so if you don''t treat him, he might plot another evil thing behind his back. What? Besides... if Jaeyoung doesnt step up, in the worst case... maybe World War III may break out. ...? Jaeyoung was drunk. But right now, I felt like I was sober at President Lee Mi-yeon''s words. See those people in the corner over there? Unlike the group of people with Jaeyoung mixed in, the people exude a strange aura. As I nced at them, President Lee Mi-yeon began to tell me the identity of each person one by one as if it was not a big deal. That snazzy blonde woman over there is from the Rothschild family. The middle-aged foreign man standing next to him is the negotiator of Blue Rock Investment, and the Asian with a blushing face in front of him is from the Chinese Communist Party. Oh, the people watching that fight in the back are from some royal families in the Middle East. Was it Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates... ...? These are the ones you would only see on the news. Each of them has tremendous influence, so the situation where they are all gathered in one ce was so strange and foreign, but even from a distance, the atmosphere looked so formidable and cold. Isnt it funny? What? I mean those people. How long has it been since everyone said they would join forces to acquire a stake in thispany? I havent even handed over the stake yet. Not just one country, but a situation involving dozens of countries around the world. Although the government directly intervenes or privatepanies lead the initiative, governments of each country are keenly aware of the problem. Therefore, even a small misunderstanding or friction was in a situation where there was a high risk of bringing about a huge aftermath that no one expected. What would happen if the ce that took over the stake wiped its mouth clean? What if the Chinese or Russian governments are greedy and force you to vomit more shares? If, as an equity shareholder, you begin to tamper with thispany with outrageous demands to assert your authority, will thispany... or Arcadia be able to stay the way it is now? President Lee Mi-yeon sips alcohol with a bitter smile as if she has deviated from something. She looked at Jaeyoung''s eyes through the twinkling lights and said. No one looking for a stake in thispany has any interest in the virtual reality of Arcadia itself. They are just in a hurry to steal the core source technology that can implement virtual reality and to gain their country''s... no, their own interests. At worst, lunatics who are ready to go to war and take a stake in thispany and steal its technology. That''s why President Lee Mi-yeon had to make Jae-young the winner of this final scenario, which could not be undone. That''s why I think Jaeyoung must take that share. I love this game more than anyone else, and I just feel free without any selfishness or greed.... I think that I am a talented person who can make the world of Arcadia beautiful under thepany''s motto of infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. ..... Oh and for world peace. Will you be a protagonist of an era living through a tragic world history witnessing with your own eyes how a fight over a stake in apany spreads to World War 3, or will you be a rare pervert leading perverts who indulge in ck panties. At President Lee Mi-yeon''s words to decide between the two ridiculous options, Jae-young muttered with a look of absurdity in her eyes. Earth writer is really a joke. Chapter 481 Chapter 481 Winner Takes All (7) A guild that was half-joking and half-serious, but quickly grew to be No. What color are Dex''s panties? Unlike other ces, this guild, created with only respect and admiration for Dex, did not have any ambitions or special goals. That''s why Arthur didn''t do anything like guild wars or raid exclusive hunting ground control that everyone else said, and just left it to his heart''s content to be active freely. In the first ce, it was possible because Arthur himself was not greedy for the position of guild leader or power, but the fact that most of the people belonging to this guild called Deck Fan Mura were not normal also had a big impact. -Haa..... When will the Elvin Klein ck panties be released? -I''m in a good mood today, so I set all my equipment to ck and go hunting. - Dex! Dex! ck color!!!! -So, does anyone know Dex''s recent location? -At the end, there was a report that it appeared in the ck Valley. -Ah, I want to lick Dex''s head. - Lick! As always, lumps of desires revealing their bizarre and ugly desires on the guild bulletin board. Strangely, however, they usually behaved like very normal people. The beings in the shadows who suddenly turn into madmen when a certain switch is pressed in rtion to Dex. Even if he was cosying as a normal normal person, he suddenly changed and became a mad perverted stalker fluttering ck panties... This ubiquitous and nowhere-to-be-stalker-like characteristic was the real fear of the Deck Fan Mu Guild. However, the World Guild Alliance overlooked the potential of such a deck fan. They had no choice but to sweat in the aftermath of fierce resistance that came back stronger and stronger as time passed. Ha ha ha ha ha! Search everything! ck color! Long live the deck fan dance! Aaaaaaang. ah! Did those bastardse back again? Suppression squad! Where did the riot squad go? All of those bastards! An office that can be said to be the base of the Heroes Guild. Terrorists whoe to the ce as if they are ordinary visitors suddenly shout ck and attack indiscriminately. However, as if this wasn''t the first time, the heroes'' guild''s suppression team flocked from all sides, and they could notst for a few minutes and copsed. No matter how much you trample on us, the great ck spirit will not be extinguished! Deck fan dance... Hooray...! I will put on my ck panties... I will take revenge... The terrorists copse in gray, ring at them with resentful eyes, as if they were independence fighters who had their country stolen from them. After they died, the guild office became peaceful again, as if it had never been, but people trembled and muttered as if their teeth were shaking. Ugh! Isn''t it really boring? How many times is this? From now on, outsiders who are not members of the guild must be blocked from entering. Why do these bastards keep doing this when they know theres no chance of winning? Intrusions over dozens of hundreds of times. It was obvious without looking at what other ces were doing that these people who were ignorantly pushing like moths into a fire,mitting terror like crazy, even to the offices in the outskirts, which were not the main headquarters of the Heroes Guild. Dont talk. We''re on the better side though. Is that the Judgment Guild? It is said that they were driven in droves and turned to dust. Although the guild''s stronghold was robbed by surprise, Deckpanmu is fighting a lonely war with the world''srgest guild alliance, rallying forces and sessfully counterattacking. Contrary to the n that would bring them to their knees in the shortest time, it dragged on for over a month. It ends only when you catch that bastard who is Arthur or something, but it is very new to where he is running away. If you think you''ll get caught, you can''t do anything about it because you keep pushing with the quantity and buying time. Location tracking system and limit logout time prepared to prevent the scenario from being stretched. The current scenario is an absolutely unfavorable situation for Arthur, who loses his base and keeps running away because of the system that discloses the current yer''s location every 24 hours and automatically loses when the time limit of 12 hours is exceeded, but strangely, he is... no Deckenmu was holding on. for one belief. [We are a guild that exists only for Dex-sama, by Dex-sama, Dex-sama! I can''t kneel down to these strange shopkeepers who don''t even know where they came from!] Dedicated everything for a stranger who doesn''t know anything at all, who has never talked to each other or even been friendly... those at a close level. And because of that, this winner-takes-all scenario started to flow in a slightly different direction than the scenario Blue Rock had anticipated and designed. Oooh! For ck! Aaaaaaang. With the attack of the unidentified perverted terrorists who intruded again. * * * [Apocalypse Project No. 2 Winner takes all.] [Analysis of the current control rate.....] Fierce battles taking ce all over Arcadia and the control rate between guilds changing every moment as a result. Most of them were so small that the impact on the whole was insignificant, but a few forces that were small enough to be counted on a finger had a significant level of influence. [How are you? Is the situation going as he expected?] Knowing that Alice was doing more extensive andplicated calctions than ever before, Jack asked her carefully, who was unable to answer his question even after a long time had passed. [Currently, the global guild union''s control rate is 72%. The control rate of deck fan dance is 11%. The upancy rate of other minor guilds is estimated at 17%. It''s far from the situation the top manager expected, but I think it''s going in a positive direction.] [Yes...? It''s positive...?] The situation where the Guild Alliance around the world is moving toward victory step by step with an overwhelming control rate. Despite having an overwhelming superiority that no other force dared to face, when Alice said that the situation was positive, Jack asked back with a puzzled face. [What color is Dex''s panties... As the so-called Dexpanmu continued to resist unexpectedly, the internal solidarity of the World Guild Alliance became stronger. It has been analyzed that the possibility of developing into a scenario of a continental war that will take ce due to the internal strife of the World Guild Alliance and the resulting power copse is extremely low.] Alice only considers the world of Arcadia. The worst-case scenario for her was the split of the World Guild Alliance and the resulting great war between billions of adventurers across the continent. However, the World Guild Alliance firmly united in front of amon enemy called Deck Fan Mura. Right now, there was no movement that would break the current union because someone betrayed, so Ellis evaluated the current situation as positive. [Assuming no additional variables ur, the scenario is predicted to end within the next month. The World Guild Alliance has a 99.9% chance of winning in the second scenario.] The World Guild Alliance is a gathering of huge capital and national institutions around the world aiming for virtual reality technology. At the words of Alice, who predicted their victory almost certain, Jack frowned and groaned as if his head hurt. [Hmm... Is there no chance that the deck fan will win?] [No. Currently, their strategy is more of a typical procrastination strategy of dying the timing of defeat. No variables have been identified that could change the already lopsided battle situation.] Deck fans are only dragging their time and failing to create any meaningful victory or significant turnaround opportunity. And their strategy was slowly starting to lose its effectiveness. [Also, the World Guild Alliance started to ignore the deck fan game and dominate other minor guilds. Therefore, regardless of whether you seed or fail to dominate the deck, there is no major problem in meeting the scenario''s victory criterion of 80%] . World Guild Alliance started. In Arcadia, where everything was always driven by NPCs, it was a historic moment when a huge absolute force was born and apletely new order was created by the hands of users, but Jack''s expression looking at this was extremely serious. [It''s a big deal.....] [Which one do you mean?] [The World Guild Alliance..... President Lee Mi-yeon said, I don''t know in the game, but I warned that in reality, there will inevitably be conflicts in some way.] From the beginning If there hadn''t been an opportunity, many great powers had lost their eyes because they nted hope that they might be able to get their hands on a stake in Arcadia. And no one could have predicted what kind of military provocation or armed conflict would ur amidst their internal quarrels and fierce political calctions. [The situation that is happening in reality is not my consideration.] Alice contemtes and analyzes only what is happening in the world of Arcadia and makes judgments ordingly. And for her, the current situation was not so bad. [know. But even if I put all those other reasons aside... I don''t like them either.] I look forward to the heroes'' guild and the key heads of the World Guild Alliance who appear on the screen with a trembling expression as if they don''t like them very much. Jack watching. Then Alice asked him. [Is there a special reason?] [While I was making Arcadia... and creating the narratives of numerous heroes, did I feel anything? Alice, do you know what that is?] Jack created a world out of nothing. He was able to discover through observation that apletely unintended phenomenon urred naturally as he made the endless history of Arcadia. [No matter how brilliant, brilliant, and kind-hearted heroes are made, when the country they rule over grows into an overwhelming empire with enormous power and power, they end up blinded by pleasure and power unlike the first time.] Powerful power There is no saint in this world who has power and strength. Absolute power is absolutely corrupt, so the birth of a force with enormous power was inevitably full of possibilities to create irrational and irrational violence in this world. Even more so if there are several forces united by temporary interests. [I don''t know how that world guild union will go in the future, but regardless of this apocalypse project, if those guys are reborn as a super-giant guild with the most powerful hegemony in Arcadia, perhaps a dictatorship guild that will be hard to see again in the future will be born. I don''t know.] Jack murmured in a meaningful tone as if foretelling the future. However, since it is impossible to urately predict the future, Alice only gave a formal answer to this. [I will designate that guild as the top priority for analysis and closely monitor it.] [Yeah..... Well, there''s nothing I can do to intervene, but please do.] So, let''s talk about the future direction and results of this scenario. Jack and Alice finish their discussion. However, while the two were talking, a huge variable was emerging that wouldpletely overturn this scenario. [Wee to the fantasy world of Arcadia.] Jaeyoung stopped ying the gamepletely after the second scenario started. He was returning to Arcadia again. Chapter 482 Chapter 482 Winner Takes It All (8) Jae-Young first encounteredputer games when he was over 10 years old. Jaeyoung, who wrote a legend for every game he touches while blossoming with tremendous talent that others cannot dare to touch, has be a sensational and popr topic in the game industry. Action Arcade RPG Strategy Fighting Simtion Racing Puzzle Even unyed..... Regardless of the game genre, a real genius who creates new metas and innovations by creating extraordinary strategies that even the developers didn''t intend. He solidified his reputation by silently bringing so many pro gamers to their knees, and offers to join the pros came pouring in from well-known ces, but he had never appeared in front of the public. He didn''t join a party unless it was an essential condition, insisted on solo y, and didn''t create or join a guild that everyone would try to make once they became even a little famous, enjoying the game alone and living in seclusion. While watching it, the public praised Jaeyoung for strange reasons such as mysticism, but in fact, there was another reason why he insisted on ying solo. [Haa..... I really want to lick Dex''s hair once...] The second year of middle school, the period of stormy rage. A mad word muttered by one of his friends who had no idea that Jaeyoung was Dex. Jae-young, who was shocked by the fact that she personally witnessed the bizarre and abnormal desires of the group of perverted stalkers with abnormal sexual desires that could only exist in theher world. From that day on, he took on the appearance of an ordinary middle school boy with no interest in games and never talked about games with anyone he knew. In this way, despite everyone''s praise and praise, Jae-young thoroughly insisted on the hermit''s path and engraved his name in the history of numerous popr games more brilliantly than anyone else. As a result, without any knowledge of the terrible and ugly future that twisted fandoms around the world will create. Haa..... Jaeyoung sighs as he stands in a daze for a while while connected to the game. Tan and L, who were watching him from the side, exchanged nces with strange expressions on each other. Master, why are you so dead when you show up after a long time? Is something going on? You look like you are full of worries and worries. Is there anything we can do to help? He stayed away for over a month and didn''t show up. Upon returning suddenly, Tan and El tilted their heads as they looked at them with tears in their eyes as if they were cows being led to a ughterhouse. ...just... I have some regrets. regret? What is that all of a sudden? It''s like regret for leaving those guys who should have rooted out long ago... ...? Tan and L blinked with expressions that they couldn''t understand what they were saying. After looking at the two for a moment, Jaeyoung let out another deep sigh and shook his head as if it was nothing. no. That''s it..... It''s not about you, don''t worry about it. This is just a problem between adventurers. A second scenario that has nothing to do with Arcadia''s NPCs. However, when Jaeyoung mentioned adventurers, Tan hurriedly opened his mouth as if he had something to say. Oh right. Master,e to think of it, do you know that adventurers are going crazy these days while the owner is away? uh. know. don''t know. what is it....? Even those entrics that the owner hates so much are being attacked from all sides? ..... Why are you looking at me with that expression...? Isn''t that a good thing? Deck fan dance that Jaeyoung gnashed his teeth and despised. Even though they were told that they were in the biggest crisis situation ever, instead of liking it, when Jaeyoung just stared at him without saying anything, Tan asked back with a puzzled face. Its okay... you dont have the ability to know my heart. What happened earlier? At least do what the master says. that''s right. Has something serious happened in the other world? Tan and L ask with a worried look at the reaction that is quite different from usual. However, Jaeyoung just waved his hand and opened one of the windows with a poop-chewed expression on his face. It''s nothing serious, so don''t make a fuss about it. Its because I didnt know that I would have to paint my face with my own hands like this, just living and living. What do you mean...? Master... are you crazy? Why are you smearing dirty shit on your face...? Tan and L look at Jaeyoung with strange eyes, as if they didn''t understand the rhetorical expression and epted it straight away. However, he was busy checking the messages piled up in the window he hadn''t opened in a while. Won... It''s Jung-gu Heating.....'' A very unfriendlymunity system unlike any other game. In Arcadia, where only messages can be sent to users who have registered as friends face-to-face to emphasize reality, the number of people in Jae-young''s friend window is only a small number, but because they haven''t checked for a long time, all kinds of notes The fields were piled up like mountains. About the filtering settings... if it was a deck fan, it was Arthur and Ignis...? Jae-young selects only the messages from Arthur and Ignis among the piled up notes. And he began to look at the typebination of all kinds of desire lumps that were nothing more than waste that they sent out with selfishness. [Dex, I feel really good today. Why? The full set of ck panties from Alvin Klein has finally arrived. It''s even more meaningful because it''s something I received after waiting for two months. I will think of Dex-sama as I take turns wearing them on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.] [Dex Nim~ Do you remember me? It''s Ignis! There is something I would like to discuss about guild management. Recently, the name of the guild of Dekfanmu was changed to Dex''s panties are ck! There was a strong internal opinion to change it to a so-called deck fan sword''. Since the pros and cons are so fiercely divided, the leadership is also worried about how to do this, and I would like Dex-sama to give his opinion on what he thinks about this.] [Dex-sama.....] [ ..... ] A note from two people who are so mad that they don''t even think to reply even after reading it. The number was staggering, to the point of going over hundreds, but Jaeyoung held back as he read, and as soon as the urge to pluck out his eyes began to flood in, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he recalled the patience hundreds of times in his heart. . Okay.... When this scenario is over... No, let''s see after the final chapter is finished... In the past, if it was just a thought, Jaeyoung made up his mind at this moment. Were going to tear these madmen to pieces so they can never get back together. In Arcadia, he said that he would burn down all the dens of maddened sex addicts without a trace. However, contrary to Jae-young''s sincere desire, it is an ironic situation that he has to protect these damn perverts for this final scenario. However, in order to protect the world of Arcadia, Lee Mi-yeon, a secret friend... Jae-young had to do this even if she did not want to die. If you cant avoid it, enjoy it... I dont know who said it... Jaeyoung presses down on the floating keyboard to write down a message to Arthur and Ignis. As if he had given up on something, he smiled faintly as if he had detached himself, pressed the send button, and muttered: There is really no such thing as rare bullshit. * * * Haa..... haa..... Whoa..... These persistent guys don''t know how to give up. Arthur and Ignis are resting in an unknown barn, gasping for breath in a state of abnormal state exhaustion. Until recently, they had fought a fierce battle with the pursuers and barely escaped their pursuit, but these two somehow managed to survive another day. Ugh... when the hell is this scenario going to end? When? Until the World Guild Alliance gives up on catching us. Unlike other mediocre guilds, the World Guild Alliance doesn''t give up at all because it holds quite a lot of stake and meets the victory conditions of the scenario the moment it is eaten. Arthur shook his head with an expression that he was fed up with the attacks of those who were getting stronger, and then asked Ignis. First of all... I think how did you get past the location disclosure this time... How many hours are left until the next location check? Hmm... about 11 hours...? That much remains. Just get some sleep, and if you do this or that, itll be soon... Be careful, dont create a situation where you fall asleepte and barely escape likest time. Oh, I see. I wont do that this time, so stop nagging me. The second scenario is going on longer than expected. However, since everyone could be connected to the game 24 hours a day, logging out was freely allowed in principle. However, various restrictions to prevent abuse of the logout system were set as rules for the scenario, so no major problems urred. Do you know how many guild members alone were sacrificed because they did not log in despite the location being disclosed the other day, so the Moorim guys built a of heaven and escaped through it? At that time, only hundreds of informants of our Deck Fan Mu who hid in Moorim were ousted. If you do not log in for more than a day, the system automatically counts as a defeat, and even thest location is openly open to everyone, so if you log out in an unsafe ce and log in, you will be surrounded on all sides by the opposing forces waiting in advance at the same time as you log in and lose. . Therefore, Ignis warned Arthur, who was about to log out, toe back in time, citing past records. And Arthur, who was listening to it, tried to be nervous by making a sound without knowing himself because of the umted fatigue. ah! Got it! I understand, but why do you keep saying the same thing and annoying people... But he had no choice but to stop talking as he saw the message that popped up in front of him. [A message has arrived from Dex.] ...? uh....? Two people frozen as if the ident had stopped for an instant. Just a moment ago, in this endless and arduous situation, the emotions were so high that it seemed like they were going to fight, but the two nkly stared at the message that popped up in front of their eyes as if it had never happened. Dex-sama...? Did you send a message...? After registering as a friend, he sent hundreds... no, thousands of messages, but he never replied even once. Feeling deeply moved by the fact that he had sent the note first for the first time, the two moved their trembling fingers very slowly and opened the message he had sent. And..... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... How can it be..... Really...? effervescence. Admiration. Joy. Pleasure(?). Arthur and Ignis moaning with strange expressions that cannot be described by any other expression. And these two grabbed each other and cheered and cheered, screaming as if they had lost their minds. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa isn''t this a dream? Really? Finally... finally...! A short message from Dex. The person who sent the message, pressing down on it, wrote it with sincere anger, but unfortunately, the message, which was written as a text, did not contain any such feelings. Rather, it was only conveyed to them twisted with in sincerity. [The guild you created... Now hand it over to me.] A guild deck fan created only for DEX. Upon seeing the message that Dex himself would lead the deck fan dance, Arthur muttered with tears in his eyes and a face full of emotion. Praise the guardians of the ck panties... Arthur hurriedly opened the guild window and gave orders to everyone to tell others this good news. He teased his trembling hands with all his might and smiled inexplicably. The return of our true King. Chapter 483 Chapter 483 Winner Takes All (9) Arcadia has be another world and a huge market where huge amounts of money are exchanged. In a situation where gold has be an official legal currency and an international currency used by people all over the world on a par with the dor, and has be a key currency connecting the virtual world and the real world, Arcadia cannot be defined as just a simple game. It has be something that does not exist. The reputation of a character in a fictional world makes it more popr than that of a famous celebrity. With gold and items obtained in virtual reality, you can build wealth that is not enviable in reality. A situation in which an organization made by many people gains power and its influence extends beyond the game to reality. Therefore, the guild masters who created huge guilds and operated them smoothly began to establish themselves as a privileged ss, gaining enormous financial power and social statusparable to those ofrge corporations. Leaders ofrge guilds who run funds ranging from hundreds of billions to as many as trillions. There were too many benefits and benefits to say that it was just an armband obtained in the game, so no one ever thought of letting go of the power they held in their hands. There were too many things at stake to throw just because I was tired of the game. However, unlike other guild leaders, Arthur, the leader of the deck fan dance, stood up from the seat of power he was sitting on with a carefree expression on his face. Wee, the true master of the Deck Fan Mu Guild. Seeing Arthur''s exaggerated behavior as he greeted him with a very sincere example, Jaeyoung red at him with trembling eyes and said, Do I really have to do something so strange? If you just greet me like a normal person, who will kill you? Dex shows a sharp reaction because he doesn''t do it because he wants to. However, there was no sign that the smile would disappear from Arthur''s face, who received such sincere contempt and disgust. Rather, as if he was used to this situation, he met Jaeyoung''s words with a smirk. How dare you? It''s just a pity that I couldn''t have a more solemn reception than this. Arthur wants to hold a grand festival for three days and nights by mobilizing all possible people. However, he murmured, licking his lips, as he regretted the fact that he had to keep that strong desire in his heart because it was an urgent war situation where he could not do that even if he wanted to. Don''t worry..... After this scenario, I''ll prepare a surprise party to make up for it. ...I don''t know what the hell it''s nning in its head, but don''t do it. At first nce, Arthur seems to be preparing some bizarre n. Looking at his sinister expression, Jaeyoung spoke with sincerity, but Arthur held out his hand with a face that seemed not to be listening. Then... now as you said... Arthur held out his palm with a look of anticipation. Realizing what his actions meant, Jaeyoung sighed and held his hand, and a message written in red came to mind. [Will you ept the transfer of the master''s authority of the guild What color are Dex''s panties?''] [Once transferred, the master''s authority cannot be transferred for 1 year.] It''s nice to receive it once, but I don''t like it, but the position as the leader of this perverted stalker group for a long period of time, as much as one year. Therefore, Jaeyoung had to think for a long time between the options Y and N, which shed and urged him to make a quick decision. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..... Jaeyoung spat out a small curse at this unbelievable, miserable reality, closed her eyes tightly, and pressed Y. And at that moment, aplex and huge window that he had never seen before began to appear in front of his eyes. [You have be the master of the guild What color are Dex''s panties?''] [The guild management window has been created.] [Is it difficult to operate the guild? Refer to the beginner''s guide to guild management!] [You can chat with guild members by sending real-time messages.] [Check out various additional features and benefits!] The guild system activated for the first time. So, as if exining to a beginner, all kinds of exnations and information messages came to mind, but the list of guild members in the management window was so huge that it was unbelievable. What the hell is this? 3.3 billion...? 300 million people. The scale of deck fan dance that has never been revealed before. Other guilds were busy bragging about how many guild members their guilds had, but no one knew the true nature of Deck Fan Mu, which was always quiet and silent. Are you surprised? Until now, no one knew the current status or list of all guild members because they strictly adhered to the principle of non-disclosure. Dex-sama is probably the first person other than Ignis to know the full size of this guild. Shy deck fans who are ashamed to reveal the name of their guild proudly to others. It waspletely private information from the moment it exceeded 50 million amid their strong demands, so he didn''t know the truth, but everything Jae-young imagined was just the tip of the iceberg. ..... Jae-young freezes at the loss of words at the enormous scale beyond imagination. To him like that, Arthur scratched his head with a shy face as if it wasn''t a big deal and said. Ah, but you shouldnt think that all of them are enthusiastic guild members. Since it''s such a free-spirited atmosphere, there are many cases where everyone is selfish, so no matter how much we ask them to gather, they don''t listen, so we are helplessly beaten by the World Alliance Guild. Even if you say it''s a poormand system, there''s nothing to say. Deck fan dances that are nowhere and everywhere. Its reputation was particrly strong in Korea, but as Jaeyoung umted countless ridiculous achievements that he showed in Arcadia, his reputation has long since spread beyond the small area of the Korean Penins to the whole world. Korea, America, Europe, Oceania, Middle East... Guild members spread out to an unknown vige in Africa. Jaeyoung couldn''t help but sigh at the fact that he had be a global meme and at their of these perverts who were iparably gigantic and bloatedpared to the past. This crazy..... The guild integrated chat window is already bursting like crazy at the notification message that the guild leader has been changed. It was a system that was extremelyplicated because it was divided into tens of thousands of channels depending on each region, and there were also whole windows integrated into one, but the numerous messages that came up all over the ce were the same. -ck color! ck color! -ck! ck! -??? ???? ??? ???? -֧ߧ ӧ֧! ֧ߧ ӧ֧! Chats full of dozens ofnguages. However, in Arcadia''s system where allnguages are interpreted and tranted in real time, Jaeyoung was able to understand all the meanings that he did not want to know. Those who shout ck and are enthusiastic about the fact that their true monarch has risen to power. Looking at the chat window filled with their intense desire and cheers, Jae-young, who experienced firsthand what the depth of insanity is, couldn''t show any reaction. Just... with a face that has been freed from everything, reminiscing about the Buddha''s mind and resenting this crazy world. Um...but are you really okay? ....What? No... I know that Dex-sama is stronger than anyone else, but now that he has be a guild master of deck fan dance, Dex-sama''s location will be shared with everyone in real time every 24 hours. Those guys from the World Guild Alliance... are more tenacious than I thought, and even quite meticulous. It is true that the scale of over 300 million is enormous, but the global guild union boasts a scale of billions. Even if all the strength of Deck Fan Mu was gathered against those who dominated most of the guilds and rallied, it was difficult to guarantee victory. Besides... I know because I''m the Master. I don''t listen to those guys more than I thought. Some of them have strong rebellious tendencies... Also, they''re so selfish... All of them seemed to have sucked a bowl of medicine from somewhere. That''s why Arthur and Ignis, who did their best in all sorts of difficulties to find the unique order of Deck Fan Mu in the midst of chaos, did their best as if giving advice, and generously told them about the qualities needed to deal with these perverted stalkers. The most effective method was a solid reward. I never move with my bare mouth, and usually I have to hold a good carrot in my hand and shake it so that I can even pretend to move. Ah, at the end, we had an event with a set of ck mens and womens panties from Ervin Klein, but the atmosphere at that time was really no joke. ..... Is this just advice or is it openly megging? However, as he listened to Arthur''s story in silence, the terrible memories of the past that he did not want to recall began to reappear in his head. - rify! exin! exin! exin! In the past, Jae-young, who borrowed the power of Deck Fan Mu to stop the evil n of the Harmel Empire and the top group of GM, who stole the Dragon Bone. At that time, in return, he revealed the color of his underwear to the whole world, recalling the humiliating memory of knowing what a contract with the true devil was..... He said, interrupting Arthur. So I think, first of all, announcing the statement through the entire notice... So... you mean... you need an opportunity to do something to bring all these fucking perverts together? Arthur, who had been listening in silence, suddenly cut off his words and made a bewildered expression when he asked with a meaningful expression. However, he nodded his head and answered Jaeyoung''s question. Yeah, something like that. Thats all right. Whether its an entrance door or whatever, wouldnt it be the most effective way for me to just show up in front of everyone? Would you like to? yes. What is that.... You know that shitty word you have to meet. A fucking word...? Arthur made a dumbfounded expression, wanting to say something. However, he soon noticed what Jaeyoung was saying and snapped his fingers. Ah~ You mean industry awards? sure. When Dex-samaes forward, everyone goes crazy. Those who show no interest in other things, but show a frightening degree of immersion as if a seizure switch had been pressed if they had a little bit to do with Dex. That''s why Arthur looked at Jaeyoung with a confident face and assured him. I dont know, but maybe it will move more than half of it? Even if only 50% were gathered, the power would be 150 million. Of course, even if that was the case, he was inferior enough, but he was at a level where he could at least try to resist even in a situation where he was running away like now, so Arthur answered with a face full of expectations. ...Because there is no impact to just do it in this state... Who said it would befortable to give up? Now, in a state of almost desperation, Jaeyoung, who seems to be searching for something by moving his fingers in the air, muttered to himself over and over again. Huh... I dont even know anymore. Is that...? Dont ask. Because I can''t understand why such a dog-like title was created. The nickname popped up on Jaeyoung''s head after switching the setting to public. And the title attached to it was an adjective that was so exquisitely appropriate to the current situation. [Emperor of ck Panties, Dex] The title given by Alice, the artificial intelligence, in the disgraceful narrative that I do not want to remember in the past. Having equipped the title with his own hand, which he thought he would never have to wear until his death, Dex started streaming with Arthur, who was looking very impressed. Hey you fucking perverted stalkers. With the bizarre title of Emperor of ck Panties in front of his name... From the beginning, he looked sincere with contempt and cursed with full of disgust, an industry reward that no one had ever received before. by offering Chapter 484 Chapter 484 Winner Takes All (10) Humans are social animals with the characteristic of always forming groups and consolidating their own power. Starting with a n society centered on blood ties, there was a proposition like one truth that was always used in human history because it has always created its own power by integrating various elements of religion, nation, state, and ideology. One individual cannot defeat a group. A human characteristic that always creates a synergistic effect when grouped together and exerts a powerful force that exceeds individual capabilities. That''s why the unsalted geniuses and heroes with outstanding abilities were always with someone. Because... the variable that one person can create is too weak to overturn an already made board. However, what was impossible with one person''s power was shattering the obviousmon sense to the extent that it can be said that it is an absolute truth in Arcadia. [Hey you goddamn perverted stalkers.] Dex''s statement from the start with hot swearing. In the video, which begins with an unstoppable tone full of contempt and disgust, he pours out sharp reprimands without hesitation to the unpredictable lumps of desire that are free-spirited and do not know where to go. [The guild looks like it''s going to copse, but all the guild members are scattered here and there, sucking their fingers, as if they''re all rags? Can you still say that you guys are members of the deck fan club?] [From now on, I am the one you all have to protect. Are you going to hide behind the scenes, saying that the things that were making a fuss while shouting only my panties to meet are a little dangerous? If that''s the case, disband the guild, you bastards.] Jae-young scolds the miserable reality that the guild leader barely runs away, boasting an enormous scale of 300 million won, but failing to achieve anything worth mentioning. However, the deck fans who were watching it in real time didn''t react with hurt pride at all. -That''s the title now..... -??? is this true story? -The...Emperor of the ck panties...? -???? The title glittering above Dex''s head. Even if they tried to focus on his story, they were so unique that they couldn''t take their eyes off it, and seeing that damn title, their unique seizure switch was pushed. -His Majesty the Emperor!!!!!! -King God Emperor ck Panties!!!! - Ohhh! Finally, our true King has arrived!!! -I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going crazy! I think I''m going out to eat lunch!!!!! - Our Imperator.... You''re finally here. I was always waiting..... -Ah..... I don''t mind dying..... Really, that day has finallye..... -Kiaaaaaaaa!!! Thousands Thousands Thousands! Unlimited Glory to the Emperor of ck Panties! Just by appearing, there would be an explosive reaction, but Dex appeared with a modifier containing the word ck panties, which is the identity of this deck fan dance. And the result was not the level of setting fire to the hearts of the already insane, but a madness equivalent to dropping napalm bombs. [Those who have seen this video, immediately gather to where I am. This final scene scenario is upied by me... no, we. As for the cubs who did not attend, I will punish all of them with the guild leader''s authority and I will not be able to re-register permanently. Got it?] At the end of the day, Jaeyoung did not leave out even the jewel-like threats, and clearly showed the side of a tyrant who had absolutely nothing worth pointing out. And the results were explosive. -Old story! My Road! Asmanded! -I give my life to His Majesty the Emperor! -For ck panties! -Kuh..... Anytime for the honor of the lord and the ck panties! -This, this... How dare you touch our great and solemn master of ck panties? I can''t sit still! Looking at it, the deck fans respond to Jaeyoung''s deration by pouring out all kinds of bullshit through chat that goes beyond the body and distorts time and space. And soon after, strange phenomena began to appear all over the continent of Arcadia. ...? Brother... Who is that person? Shh. Do not talk to me. He''s just crazy. Those who are so majestic and moving busily moving somewhere. However, people who saw the ck panties tied somewhere on the bodies of those who looked normal stopped every time they walked down the street, looked back, looked at them with strange eyes, and whispered. Deck Fanmu, who yed a major role in ending the war between the Harmel Empire and the Bamal Empire in the past, and was a maddened sex addict who indulged in ck panties. They were once again rallying in voluntarism and determination. Their true lord and the great Emperor of the ck Panties. for Dex. * * * - Urgent Breaking News! Dex breaks the confinement and deres participation in the scenario! -A deck fan that has changed owners. What is the scenario going to be like? - Dex''s statement and the enthusiastic deck fans. -The Emperor of ck 00. What is the true meaning of this title? Less than an hour after the video of Dex was released on Arfandia, Inte portal sites were flooded with articles rted to urgent breaking news from major media outlets. The content and level of remarks and the reaction of deck fans were too inappropriate and sensational to talk about in the official media, but since it is a critical situation to decide who will take 15% of Arcadia''s shares, everyone is scrambling to take the current situation very seriously. started to report. [The potential of the guild called Deck Fan Mura is huge beyond imagination. However, the dominant evaluation was that it had no influence so far because its coherence was inferior, but since Dex, which was the spiritual support and symbol of the deck fan club, became the guild leader, there is a good chance that the game of this scenario willpletely change. You can see it.] With an expert who tells us not to ignore the potential of perverts who indulge in ck panties. [Heh heh..... It''s not surprising that we can win against the World Guild Alliance, which is currently taking the lead, isn''t it? No matter how much the influence of deck fan art cannot be ignored, itspetitor, the World Guild Alliance, is already facing the 80% victory requirement. Even if it''s not a deck fan, it''s a level that can be achieved enough just by taking control of other minor guilds step by step. I don''t know if it was even a few weeks ago, but they don''t have time to do anything, and there''s no opportunity to do so.] Experts'' fierce debate that the gap in games has already widened beyond their control. Looking at the reality that this bizarre conversation, which I couldn''t believe even when I saw it with my own eyes, was being broadcast on TV.... That was also being aired on terrestrial broadcasting during the evening, which could be called prime time, there was a person with a wicked smile that was so satisfying. . Hehe... Did you cross that river in the end? A rare bad boy in the form of a middle school student munching on popcorn and chomping on hot chocte. Kim Min Soo. He repeatedly watched the video of Jaeyoung starting the broadcast with the title of emperor in ck panties on his head with a look of desperation, and muttered with a sense of victory on his face. So where are you going to mess with the manager? You''vee a long way to feed me candy, kid. Min-soo, who designed and prepared all of this just to screw Jae-young. Jack, who watched the process from the sidelines and tried to break it off somehow, looked at him with a really great expression and muttered. [Really... I''ve felt this for a long time, but you''re a really scary guy.] Minsu made him rise to the position of leader of those perverts who despise and hate themselves. With that vile and vicious little hair, Jack couldn''t help but feel relieved to be on his side again. What am I? That son of a bitch was arguing that he would fuck me first. Minsu replies as if he did nothing wrong. Then, with an evil smile, he unfolded the theory of life that he usually talked about. Even if you forget the original grace, you will repay the grudge a hundredfold. If you dere war first, it is natural to reciprocate it. eye for an eye. In this. Min-su is practicing the theory of Hammurabi''s code more faithfully and diligently than anyone else. Jack sighed tiredly at his shameless attitude. [Ehh..... yes. That''s how it''s like you.] Well... but isn''t it a good situation for you and Lee Mi-yeon noona? You two personally wanted him to be the ultimate victor and take his stake in Arcadia. [That''s true, but.....] Jack answers Minsu''s words with a careless attitude. However, in the current situation, he was a little doubtful that Dex''s participation in the battle would turn the tide. [Ellis, what is the probability that deck fan club will win in the current situation?] The emergence of a significant variable different from past calctions. Ellis, whose previousplex calctions werepletely distorted due to Dex''s actions, who pressed all the seizure switches in the heads of deck fans hiding somewhere, analyzed the flow of the scenario anew and came up with answers to Jack''s questions. [Assuming the additional gathering of deck fans and the active participation of an individual named Dex, the probability of winning in the current situation is 50%.] 50%. The situation has risen to the point where it can be said to be a miracle from the existing miserable win rate. However, as many experts say, when looking at the progress of the World Guild Alliance, which is already victorious in front of its eyes, the time given to Deck Fan Mu was not so great. [Hmm..... It''s ambiguous...] Neither a definite victory nor a definite defeat, an unpredictable situation. Jack frowned and muttered with a worried face, as even a very subtle and trivial variable could make the difference between victory and defeat. What are you doing? It''s not all over with this scenario anyway. [What...?] Did you forget? No matter who finishes this scenario, is there still one more scenario left? The three disasters promised to Minsu. In this winner-takes-all match, even if Dex loses, he still has one chance left, so he says with a meaningful smile as if not to worry. It doesn''t really matter who wins... In fact, thest scenario I prepared would be impossible to clear without that bastard, right? [What...?] Hearing that he had already prepared the third scenario and that he had already singled out Dex as the final winner, Jack looked at Minsu with startled eyes. What are you so surprised about? Are you going to let the stakes go to those world guild federations and all that I''ve never seen as crazy? If you do, it''s obvious that Eugene will go beyond all sorts of nagging things and the US and Korean governments will give a damn, right? While enjoying this situation, Minsu has basic thoughts and conscience. He was well aware of the fact that he would not stand still and watch the technology of virtual reality, which symbolizes American hegemony, flow into countries such as China and Russia, which are hostile countries, so he had already prepared countermeasures ordingly. It''s better to be taken by a game fanatic who doesn''t seem to be interested in worldly things than those guys with all kinds of gossip. In the first ce, even if he takes the stake, isnt he someone who would interfere with thepanys business or bet others on it? [That''s right.....] Jack isn''t particrly dissatisfied with Minsu''s story. Still, thinking that he wasn''t aplete madman without thinking ahead, he was rather looking at him with surprising eyes, but at that moment, Jack froze with a shocked expression on Minsu''s words. Besides... isnt it about time for your sister to meet a nice guy and get married? How long are you going to leave me alone with work like that? I should also y the role of the cupid of love. [what....? What does that mean...?] Minsuughs and makes a shocking noise. However, facing Jack who waspletely frozen, Minsu smiled and asked if he was okay. Arent you okay? The romance between the major shareholder who owns 15% of Arcadia Co., Ltd. and the president who oversees Arcadia Co., Ltd. Do you think the two of you could make a perfect fantasy couple? [.....] And at that moment, Jack immediately corrected his evaluation that he was a guy with a little bit of thought about Minsu. Chapter 485 Chapter 485 Winner Takes It All (12) A deck fan dance boasting an enormous scale of over 300 million yers. Even with that enormous number, it was clear that it was a guild of such an enormous level that it was even in the world''s integrated guild rankings, but it was still a level of inferiority that was close to hitting a rock with an egg to face head-on with a monster called the World Guild Alliance that exceeded billions of scale. was However, most of the users of the World Guild Alliance are following the instructions semi-forcibly ording to the decisions made by the heads of several guilds. Even if they finally won the current scenario, the huge reward would not return to them, so the basic mindset they had was not as enthusiastic as they thought. Arent our guilds small and cold after all? Why are you participating when you wont even get the proper contribution? Lets not get hit in the back of the head while walking down the street for no reason after messing with those damn stalkers. The world guild union is so huge and countless guilds are jumbled together. No matter how powerful the carrots and sticks were, no matter how hard they tried to control them, it was not enough to turn the minds of those who had already fallen to the bottom of their morale and motivation. However, unlike such world guild unions, the crazy idiots arepletely united in one mind. Those who showed their obsession to give the glory of victory to their true monarch, the emperor of ck panties, began to jump into this scenario more passionately than ever before, risking their lives. Loyalty to the emperor of ck panties! Long live Dex! Long live the ck panties! Long live the deck fan dance! Outrageous things that stand in the way of our glorious Emperor, His Majesty. I will condemn this body myself! Deck Fan Muunched an offensive against the world guild alliances located all over the continent simultaneously with an iparable frequency and volume. Of course, because of the difference in scale of more than ten times, no matter how hard they did their best to start a counterattack, but that was not a threat enough to change the game in this final scenario. [upancy rate 71.24%] Umm..... However, Captain Yankee, the head of the Heroes Guild, is looking at this situation with a more ufortable expression than anyone else. Seeing that the world guild federation''s dominance rate, which had never fallen once and continued to rise in a steep upward trend, decreased for the first time, his expression did not show any signs of lightening. An unexpected variable has urred. To think that Deck Fan Mu, who had almost defeated them, would start arge-scale resistance again like this. Peter mumbles in trouble as he receives a report on the current situation from Captain Yankee. He confidently looked at Captain Yankee, who had an overwhelming power difference that he would not dare to look at in this world of Arcadia, and said as if rebuking him. So I told you to take control of that deck first, right? It is a force so threatening that we cannot dare to ignore any of its size, cohesiveness, or the capabilities of individual users. Peter, who considered Deck Fan Mu as the top priority for elimination. It contained the meaning that this situation would not have urred if things had been handled properly from the start as he said, but Captain Yankee protested as if he was a little unfair. It''s not that the Heroes Guild didn''t make an effort, but there were a lot of difficulties in reality... The spies of Shy Deck Fan Mu who steal inside information here and there suddenly appeared out of nowhere and were ready to die, their guild leader taking time to escape safely. Guild members who used to earn money. It was caused by abination of many other reasons, but Peter interrupted him as if he didn''t want to hear it. There is no need forme excuses for what has already happened. What I want is how to deal with this problem situation in the future. It doesn''t matter what happened, Peter tells him toe up with a solution. At his words, Captain Yankee nodded and started talking about the n he was currently working on. Currently, the basic tactic of Deck Fan Mu is Hit and Run.... In other words, guerri tactics are actively used. They are simultaneously attacking small guilds on the recently merged borders, reducing our control rate and interfering with the victory of the scenario, but that is all. The core guilds of the World Alliance and the deck fan dances that are not doing any damage to the hegemonic guilds that y a pivotal role. The scale itself was so great that the difference in power was so great that it was not a level that could be dared to be done by a small number of elites, so Captain Yankee was nning to attack them by aiming for that point. Currently, the majority of Deck Fan Mu''s forces are gathering in Shurim, the great desert located in the Central Continent. We also obtained information that after gathering arge army there, we n to advance toward the headquarters of the Moorim Guild at once. It''s Murim..... China is called thergest country in terms of poption. The majority of the poption of more than one billion people enjoy ying, and most of them have joined a guild called Wulin, amid the active propaganda and massive support of the CCP. That''s why Moorim has an unbelievable number of 900 million guild members as a single guild and upies an overwhelming control rate. Hearing of Deck Fan Mu''s n to attack this ce and instantly overturn the world Guild Alliance, which currently has an overwhelming level of control, Peter frowned as if he really didn''t like it. If that happens... it will certainly be a fatal blow for us. That''s right. However, even within the guild union, there is already a strong opinion that we should respond more aggressively to them, so we are preparing a response n. It is a situation in which, if you get carried away, you may fall back even if you have victory in front of you. However, Captain Yankee said with a confident look as if that would not happen. like? Did the Moorim Guild decide to start suppressing Deck Fan Mu in earnest? yes. We are issuing a convocation order to the entire guild and gathering all our strength. It seemed that I was greatly stimted by the overwhelming unity of deck fan dance. China does not yield at all when ites to unity. The Guild of Moorim, determined to show the spiciness of the people of a great country to Deck Fan Mu, who dares to prepare a n to rob their headquarters by rallying all the Chinese people in a totalitarian atmosphere, leads arge-scale army of over one billion units and sets out on a campaign. there was. 100 million... I wonder if there is a battlefield capable of amodating that many people. Well... it''s a huge number of people that I can''t even fathom, but I don''t think there''s any particr problem. Because Shurim is a vast desert. Shurim, a great desert with endless sandy beaches where not even a single de of grass grows. There, Peter muttered with an intrigued look on his face that he was going to have an unprecedentedrge-scale battle in world history. I don''t know how many troops will gather in deck fan dance... but with that level, it''s absolutely impossible to win. Perhaps. Peter was embarrassed by the variable of being a deck fan, but was convinced that the winner would not change in the end. So, with a satisfied smile on his face, he picked up a ss full of red wine. Without even imagining what was going on in the great desert Shurim. * * * The great desert Shurim, which was one of the five forbidden regions of the Korean continent in the past and was the realm of the dwarves, a hidden heterogeneous race. Due to the unification of the continent, this ce, which has be the most adjacent area to face China, was a very suitable ce as a stage and battlefield for this huge war. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee A sandstorm driven by a gust of wind from somewhere. This realm, filled with suffocating heat and powerful desert scorpions, was so dangerous that it was not called thend of the dead for nothing, but it was no longer a very threatening ce for adventurers who had already grown up through countless adversities and hardships. thud. thud. thud. thud. The elite troops of the Moorim Guild advancing from afar. At first nce, as if only the most powerful ones had been carefully selected and scratched, those who approached radiating unusual energy began to show off their power to the fullest in the sh with the deck fan dance that soon began. Ha ha ha! Kill them all! How dare you attack our Murim? Do you think it''s possible at such an unusual level! die! Fire dragon dance! Numerous spells and arrows cover the sky. A fierce battlefield where all sorts of weapons wield and kill each other. The vast army of 100 million people was huge enough to fill the endless horizon, but the number of deck fans standing on the other side was so shabby that it seemed like they were inferior even at a nce. Keugh... don''t be pushed back! If the tank line is breached, everyone will die! Benefit...! The glory of ck panties! heel! heel! heel! heel! Wide area recovery! Fire Buster! Fireball! Fight even if you die! For our Emperor of ck Panties! Obviously, everyone knows that continuing the battle like this will lead to annihtion. However, even in such a situation, the heroic appearance of the deck fans who did not retreat even a single step and rushed forward with a resolution to fight until the moment they died was admirable. Of course, the reason they did this was so nasty and dirty that no one thought they were cool. As expected.... Was it too much to deal with all of them with just one deck fan... Jaeyoung, who did not move at all, watching the situation on the battlefield. While watching the battle closely, he quickly came up with a clear analysis of the current situation through his unique game genius. It''s not about being outnumbered, but the quality level is also quite different, right? Was it a problem that the Chimera scenario was a scenario that took ce in China? Everyone seems to have passed level 200 lightly, but hmm... It wasn''t intentional, but it''s like they gave away dogs because they werepletely dead, right? Looking at the unusually strong Chinese yers, Jae-young grumbles with an expression as if something is going on in her stomach. However, seeing that he did not show any special action or movement other than that, Arthur slowly opened his mouth with a worried face. Hey, Dex. If we keep going like this, I think we''ll lose... First of all, retreat and reorganize... The situation was no different than hitting a rock with an egg. Arthur cautiously brought up the idea of withdrawing because he did not need to cut his strength while continuing the losing battle, but Jae-young looked at him with eyes as if he was saying what he was talking about and said. yes? Why do we lose? No... the current situation... I already called for reinforcements toe, so please wait a little bit. Reinforcements... is this...? yes. You should have almost arrived, I just confirmed that you sent a message. ...? The second scenario is as if the winner has already been decided. That''s why there was no guild that was hostile to the huge World Guild Alliance and thought of taking the side of Deck Fan Mu, so Arthur made a strange expression when he heard that reinforcements wereing. and that moment. Unbelievable situations began to happen in front of Arthur''s eyes. Imand in the name of the Dark me Dragon, the lord of death.e! Land of the dead! Sanctuary of the dead!e! Army of the Dead! Firebolt Maximum. The King of All Byeongji ys. A storm of swords. You are the spark of the source that gives all the heat to this world. Choco Paizoa, the apostle of the World Tree, earnestly wishes that you show the fury of nature to all enemies who stand in my way. Ifrit, the summoning fire spirit king. Wow. coo coo coo coo coo. Roaring. The sun of eternity fell in the middle of the Moorim Guild and burned everything, and the intangible weapons made of mana created a huge storm and tore the entire area to shreds. A huge army of the dead rose up and rushed indiscriminately toward the living, and the Avatar of the transcendent god, the Fire Spirit King, appeared in Arcadia. This is..... The Hwarangdan of forces built by Choco Paijoa. Necronomicon, a guild of ck magicians and dark knights who rule the ck me Dragon of Darkness. And... the incarnation of the guild battlefield recently created by Angelina and Casis. Obviously, it was a very small guild with only a small number of people that could not bepared to the size and number of deck fans and Moorim, but the power of the leaders who led them was so strong that they could not be ignored. Watching the reinforcements newly entered the warpletely reverse the flow of the battlefield... Jaeyoung looked at them doing all sorts of things on his behalf and was more than proud and rewarded than anyone else, smiling at his dad. . Uhh. Now everyone is paying for the food that I cherished and raised. Chapter 486 Chapter 486: It''s okay to use hacks, but Jae-young has always aimed only at solo y and has been extremely reluctant to interact with others. But that didn''t mean he waspletely alone in Arcadia. Aww. Wow. Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam. A battlefield where a fierce battle is taking ce against the Moorim Guild, which is pushing forward with a huge amount. And there were those who were fighting for Dex, shining brighter than anyone else. Battle Mage Angelina. All Weapon Master Casis. ck me Dragon of Darkness, Lord of Death. Angel of the World Tree, Choco Paizoa. The two people who met by chance through an event called Jukchang Daejeon in the past, and the unfair victims (?) who got caught up in all sorts of incidents without knowing why... And countless users who don''t know the names of them follow them in the camp of deck fan dance. It was giving me strength and the firepower was stronger than I thought. Keuuugh..... Someone do something about that crazy bitch! That... Korean Crazy Magician... Earth pot breaker..... It''s amazing..... Kashiyas! Attack that guy over there! Those who can attack from a distance, concentrate all your firepower right now! Aww! Impossible! An undead legion has appeared in thetter half of the camp! what? What are you doing without checking the rear? If all the priests are gone, who will give you the heal! Because of those spirits, the archers'' attacks aren''t working properly! test. Wizard. Elementalist. Necromancer. The camp of the Moorim Guild began to melt in an instant like ice cream in the scorching sun in the hot summer on top of the prowess of the four people who reached the peak in their respective fields. Geum-rang, the master of the Moorim Guild, let out a sigh as he watched these ecosystem-disrupting species disrupting the battlefield, neutralizing all the strategies and tactics he had nned in order to secure victory against Deck Fan Mu. Keuk..... That''s why I said that you shouldn''t leave small countries alone... From the beginning, he was conscious of and wary of those with abnormal levels of strength active in the Korean continent. So, in order to prepare for possible future disasters, we strongly insisted on subjugating them first to the World Guild Alliance, saying that we should remove the buds in advance, but that opinion was not epted. what? Anyway, the size of the guild is quite high, so even if I force myself to eat it, the influence isn''t that high, so let''s just leave it alone without touching it and scratching it? joy! Foolish bastards... The leaders of the World Guild Alliance, who ignored and ndered small guilds that refused to ept their request in the past, or told them to swallow them step by step. But when he saw that these four months had taken ce because of their ipetence, he gnashed his teeth in indignation as if to wait and see. Let''s see... I''ll make sure to pay the price for ignoring my words and the damage this Moorim Guild received... Between them, they had to pete with each other again with a 15% stake anyway. They briefly held hands for the same purpose, but as a result, they were like potential enemies looking at each other aspetitors. I also thought that this situation, in which I was now in trouble, was a good thing. The party will like it that we have a number of things to bring to our advantage at the negotiating table. Maybe using this as an excuse to get a 5% stake as the CCP wants, Geum Rang smiles while spinning a bunch of happiness circuits. However, all of that was only possible once the current battle was over and the head of Dex, the leader of Deck Fan Mu, was brought back, but he didn''t seem to be worried at all about that part. Lord Moon, additional reinforcements have almost arrived. They say they will be able to join the battlefield soon. Geum-rang was watching the situation from a distance away from the battlefield where the battle was fierce. He nodded and asked after receiving the report from the guild member who served as his direct adjutant. Okay... what is the scale? About 140 million people. However, the level and equipment are slightly lower than the main unit, but it doesn''t seem to be a level to worry about. A super-giant guild, Moorim, with a staggering number of 900 million guild members. It is safe to say that 90% of the Chinese people are members of this guild, which is so huge that it is fighting with only 100 million troops. It was overflowing. Gheuk... That''s enough, no matter how desperately they try and resist, they won''t be able to win. A huge number of troops that even the absolute strongest with enormous armed forces could not realistically handle. He smirked, imagining that they would run out of mana and stamina before defeating them all without being able to rest. Please continue to resist, you weak bugs. We, the great people of China, are too gigantic giants for a small country like you to deal with. * * * A war in the great desert Shurim. It was a war between users on an unprecedented scale, so the number of people watching this situation in real time was also unprecedented. -Wow..... But there are really a lot of them. -Are those all people? You can''t see the X-foot map. everyone is human -Haha Looking at it like this, it''s a really great country. - It looks like there are more people than grains of sand. -Is it possible to fight? I wont be surprised if I team kill because I was crushed. People who look at the Moorim Guild and react with wonder and astonishment because there is no other case where such arge number of people gathered in one ce. And while they were fighting well, they licked their lips as if looking at Dex''s camp, which looked so pitifully small. - Jeop..... This is going to be difficult no matter how hard it is. -That''s right..... If the opponent pushes the poption like that, there is no answer. -Daguri is the truth in the original fight. The fight between David and Goliath. No matter how strong Dex and his followers are, the situation is too unfavorable to defeat the giant Murim with billions of units. Therefore, no one who was realistically watching this war expected Deck Fan Mu to win. I just... watched from afar as they fought to the end while burning brightly until the end. However, even in such a gloomy situation, Jaeyoung was so calm. He licked his lips as if he was a bit regretful, and as if it wasn''t a big deal, he only passed the time by asionally responding to viewers'' chatting. Well... honestly, I didnt think I would win with this much strength. Still, do you think you''re pretty good at fighting? In particr, Casis and Angelina have been known for a long time, but their realbat sense is so good that I can admit it. My age? I''m sorry, but I can''t answer anything rted to personal information. Its horrifying to imagine that some vicious, insidious, perverted stalker bastard woulde to the real world and say what happened to my panties. Jae-young continues to talk about all sorts of trivial and unimportant things while ignoring the fierce war going on in front of him. Viewers continued to question him, as if he were doing Buddhist sutra across the river. -So... you don''t fight? - Lol lol. Everyone is dying, but how long are you going to be ying with us like this? -Did you already give up on the scenario bro? is that so? The question is, why are you doing nothing in this war? At first, it seemed that only a few people were throwing it, but as time went on, the defeat of Deck Fan Mu grew thicker, and soon a huge number of people were shouting the same as if they had promised. - Fight! - Fight! - Fight! The support of the viewers to fulfill the responsibility and duty as the head of deck fan dance. And Jae-young, who had been ignoring the voice, now threw a sudden question to them when all chatting started asking for direct participation in the war. Hmm... I was afraid that you would criticize me for not being interesting, so I didnt participate in the war on purpose, but is that really okay? -??? -What do you mean by that? isn''t it fun? Jae-young speaks in a tone as if she was deliberately dragging it out because she was afraid that she would end the war immediately if she set her mind to it, but if she did so, she would get all sorts of insults. And it''s not that the viewers didn''t understand the nuance, so the chat window went silent in an instant. Isnt it? Such arge-scale war is a superrge content that will never happen again in the history of the game world, but if it ends too futile and trivial, it''s obvious that there will be an uproar, but why would I? Jaeyoungughs and talks as if this whole situation is nothing more than a deliberately staged show and content for broadcasting. And he smiled strangely evil and muttered softly as if talking to himself. Besides... those stalker perverts can be made to suffer like this. How much psychological and mental pain I suffered because of those children. What can you do with this... In my mind, I want to punish everyone with a strict and stern legal withdrawal, but if I do, Jae-young, who has been putting up with it, fears that the personal information he has been hiding will spread and cause a bigger aftermath. . If you think of all the insults done by deck fans, the trials they are going through now are nothing more than the grime of their toenails. -So... you can beat that Moorim Guild by yourself if you put your mind to it...? -Is that possible...? -1 VS 100 million..... lol. This is really nonsense bullshit. An unbelievable story even if you try to believe it withmon sense. However, Jaeyoung said with a faint smile at the reaction of the distrustful viewers. Why do you think so? Koo Goo Goo Pce. And at that moment, with a subtle roar, a metallic structure appeared above Jaeyoung''s head. Those who saw the gigantic size that appeared as if it had been there from the beginning were shocked to realize its identity as soon as they saw it. That one! This crazy...! Can you stand...? A rare fraudulent artifact that defeated Leviathan, the scourge of the east and the tyrant of the sea, as well as the darling of magical engineering thatbines all the capabilities of the Gael Federation and the Dragon n. Nautilus, the weapon of the greatest disaster and decisive battle. When the monster-like battleship reappeared on the battlefield, Deck Fan Mu and Moorim Guild members, who had been fighting so fiercely, stared nkly into the air,pletely frozen. -That... Why are you here...? -Wait a minute..... I can''t believe it right now..... A rare weapon that drove Leviathan to death, a powerful disaster that no one could have stopped. It is a special invention of the Gael Federation, and a strategic weapon that will not be seen again in the world of Arcadia. When they took out this asymmetric power weapon equipped with a magic turret, they were able to realize the reason for Jae-young''sposure. Personally, I dont like meeting Chinese users in games. Every time we met as the opposing team, there were many cases where we ruined the game or lowered the win rate because we kept using hacks. Because of those nukes, there are a lot of games that I had fun with and then gave up. Numerous nuke Chinese users who had no concept that they met in PC games where security was weak in the past. Recalling all the unpleasant experiences they had because of their senseless y, Jaeyoung stretched out his hand and sent an unknown hand signal to the Nautilus in the sky. Woo woo woo. Then, the naval gun of the Nautilus dyed red with a strange resonance. And then, looking at the top-notch red mana stone flying to the middle of the Moorim Guild, Jaeyoung muttered with a mischievous smile. so.... This time, Im going to use a hack and have some fun. I also want to express my small wish to be a legal nuke this time. Chapter 487 Chapter 487 The Last War (1) -Shock! The defeat of the Moorim Guild! -Geum-Rang, the master of the Moorim Guild, passed away. -The dominance rate of the world union guilds has plummeted. A huge anomaly urs! -A mushroom cloud has risen again. The fraudulent power of the magic turret, the final weapon of the Gael Federation. -The 2nd scenario of the fierce battle. Who is the real winner of this war? An all-out sh between the Moorim Guild and the Deck Fan Mu that took ce in the Great Desert Shurim. Despite the overwhelming numerical superiority, when the Moorim Guild was defeated and even the head died, the press around the world, including Arfandia, began to heat up. - Wow..... I really don''t know. How the hell are things going? -Nuke hahahahaha. Really, isn''t that a perfect cheat key? -???: If you feel unfair, do you guys use hacks too? - No, but seriously, is that correct? The Gael Federation''s magic turret literally chewed up the bnce. No one expected much from Arcadia Co., Ltd.''s attitude ofpletely neglecting to see if it had no intention of fixing it despite the huge protests in this regard from the past. A lot of people expressed great dissatisfaction. However, Jae-young doesn''t care about the public''s reaction and public opinion. Rather, once he started using it, he rode the Nautilus as if there was nothing to be offended about and started to travel all over the continent and burst mushroom clouds at the main bases of the World Alliance Guild. Quaang. What are you talking about! We are being pushed back! Peter, who had been boasting about victory just a short while ago. But now, seeing him reporting theplete opposite, Larry ck eximed in anger. That''s... the guild I reported to before... Sweaty Peter opened his mouth to exin the reason in his own way. To be honest, it would have been impossible even for Nostradamus''s grandfather to anticipate that an opponent woulde out to such an absurd level while unleashing such fraudulent firepower equivalent to a nuclear weapon, an asymmetric strategic weapon. didn''t work either You call that an excuse now? Are you saying this because you don''t know how much power is at stake in that one project you''re promoting? Peter, who designed this whole situation by convincing himself that this is certain. With the name and status of Blue Rock Investment, Wall Street, the European Union and Jewish forces such as the City of London and Rothschild.... Even the Chinese and Russian governments colluded and joined hands. Of course, each one would have tapped the calctor and epted their proposal, but as the instigator of this project, the aftermath that Blue Rock Investment would have to deal with if it did not win in this scenario was quite burdensome. Especially... when you think of the administration of President Pearson, who is sharpening his sword while looking at this trick with very ufortable eyes. If... you know that if you cant finish this job properly, it wont end with you stepping down, right? I know... Perhaps all of this situation could be regarded as an act of treason against the national interest of the United States in collusion with the enemy, and punish Wall Street and the financial world with unprecedented harsh retaliation with a sword dance. That''s why Peter answered with a drawn face to Larry ck''s question, who was staring at him with a cold, hard face. But that didn''t mean he couldn''te up with a sharp solution to the situation. Unlike the real world, where no one dares to ignore the power of enormous and powerful wealth and controls the world economy..... In Arcadia, a fantasy world where everything is made of virtual data, their power is truly overwhelming and absolute in front of one person. It was only a level that was infinitely shabby and feeble, not even a candle in front of the sun. * * * [What color are Dex''s panties? The guild has achieved a capture rate of 80%.] [End Project No. 2 Winner-takes-all has ended.] [Rted rewards are settled.] Alice was watching all the situations happening in the world of Arcadia in real time. When she dered Deck Fan Dance the final winner of the second scenario, President Lee Mi-yeon was finally able to rx and breathe a sigh of relief. Huh..... In the end, we can avoid the worst situation we''ve been concerned about... If the World Guild Alliance had won in the second scenario, the terrible situation would have happened. Imagining the fierce scramble for Arcadia Co., Ltd. around the world and the political battles with the underground operations that are dirtier and uglier than mud, President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a very fortunate expression on her face. Of course, Minsu, who was sitting in her office and eating popcorn leisurely, was very calm as if he wasn''t worried at all. Hey, what are you fussing about? All of this was what I expected anyway. Minsu speaks with a nuance as if he already knew this from the beginning. However, at his words, President Lee Mi-yeon asked with a look of doubt. You... are you saying that you know how hard I tried to convince Jaeyoung? A scenario filled with the purpose of tantly and candidly feeding off Jaeyoung. So, in order to convince Jae-young, who dered that she would quit the game without even essing the game for over a month, she had to make every effort. I know. Didn''t you even hold a dinner event to change that guy''s mind? Because of that, President Jeon Ki-chan also contacted me and nagged me loudly to stop harassing my sister so hard. I don''t know anything about my heart. mind? What mind...? Mi-yeon asks with a bewildered expression at Min-soo''s reaction, as if she is the only one who has be the bad guy. However, at her question, Minsu gave a strangely unpleasant smile and kept quiet. There is such a thing. Could it be my heart that cherishes and loves my sister...? what....? He pretends to be the cupid of love and secretly tries to weave Jae-young and President Lee Mi-yeon together. However, since he had no intention of saying such a thing in front of the people involved, Minsu brought up another topic as if it were nothing. Its just that, dont mind it. More than that... Since the deck fan club won the scenario, there must be a lot of noise here and there for a while, right? Movements of disobedience are also being detected in the World Guild Alliance that was defeated in the scenario, and it seems that the various factions that bet on this scenario are also very grumpy. Eyes of Argos, an integrated information surveincework that monitors and analyzes all information on this. In rtion to this situation, after checking the information of those who are plotting various evil ns for Arcadia in real time, Min-soo said with his characteristic mischievous smile as if all of this was just a spectacle for fun, but Lee Mi-yeon The boss nodded his head with a very tired expression on his face. It has no choice but to do so... Its because they lost in this scenario in a way that was too ridiculous to see from their situation. In Arcadia, which advocates a medieval fantasy world view, the world guild union was defeated with victory in front of its eyes by a monstrous battleship flying through the sky and shooting nuclear weapons. Knowing that this was such an absurd situation that even a Buddha could not stand it and overthrew the table, CEO Lee Mi-yeon muttered as if it was worth it. But its my job, so dont worry about it, Minsu. Its not that the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. cant handle a singleint. In fact, I was more worried that Min-soo would make the situation worse by interfering in useless nonsense, but President Lee Mi-yeon said around the corner as if not to be burdened. And fortunately, Minsu did not appear to be paying much attention to the situation. Well... I didn''t even want to touch anything because it was annoying anyway. Sister, take care of that. okay. Don''t worry, I''ll finish the follow-up without much fuss. Lee Mi-yeon, the president of thepany, is secretly relieved by Min-soo''s reaction, which doesn''t seem likely to make things moreplicated by getting involved in the problem. However, I couldn''t let go of the string of tension at all from Minsu''s continued words as he stood up from his seat and stretched out and yawned. Now...then the moment has finallye when we have to decorate the splendid finale of this long, final chapter. st....? yes. The only thing you promised Jack was three scenarios, right? I''ve blown up two scenarios so far, so now there''s only one left. Minsu blew up more than half of Arcadia''s continent in just two scenarios. Looking back at the atrocities hemitted with his unique and ingenious idea, like an unpredictable time bomb that could explode, President Lee Mi-yeon couldn''t help but feel very anxious about the only remaining final scenario. So... what is thest scenario...? Min-soo has no way of ending thest remaining scenario. With a foreboding feeling that she might have prepared something that went far beyond what she had done so far, President Lee Mi-yeon swallowed her saliva and asked. why? Are you that curious? Minsu grins with an evil smile as if enjoying her reaction. To him, President Lee Mi-yeon nodded honestly and replied. I am more worried than curious. How many more absurd scenarios will we throw in and make everyone suffer... Thest scenario is the final war with an end. what....? Looking at Min-soo, who calmly revealed the identity of thest scenario before he could even finish his words, CEO Lee Mi-yeon was surprised and asked with a nk expression. As if conscious of CEO Lee Mi-yeon, who was staring at her with the gaze of Have you not given up on destroying the game yet?'', Min-soo started to talk about his nning intention without asking. To be honest, the apocalypse project originally only had thisst scenario. But then I thought it would be boring, so I arbitrarily increased it to three. what....? I said something casually, but it was a shocking story that would not be strange even if other users heard it. With those two scenarios, the real world and the world in the game, the whole thing was chaos itself, but originally it didn''t even exist. The world of Arcadia is a fictional world created in Jack''s imagination. But to NPCs, this reality is perceived as a world in a distant dimension that exists somewhere in the endless void. The setting about adventurers nned by Minsu in the past and the space outside the world of Arcadia that exists in the setting. void. In fact, no information has been properly disclosed about the world of Void in Arcadia, but it is a very dangerous and deadly ce in this virtual world. Unlike Arcadia, which is full of creatures that Jack created with affection, it is full of bizarre hybrids created with all sorts of misceneous settings and crude imagination. There was a simr entity. A special NPC that can be called the alter ego of Minsu and himself. Asura, the master of the ck Mist. In order to personally bring an end to Arcadia, Min-soo revealed the final scenario for the first time at this moment in which he led an army in the void andunched a massive invasion. Asura''s invasion of thest final chapter of the End Project... That is the final scenario I prepared and the final ordeal to be thrown into Arcadia. Chapter 488 Chapter 488 The Last War (2) Humans are imaginative animals. From the primitive age when self-awakening and the birth of a civilization to the modern age, numerous legends and mythological stories were created and handed down through countless generations, and various and original cultures and arts blossomed. Imagination is the most powerful driving force and source of power that creates something out of nothing, creates something that did not exist before, and enables mankind to advance and advance through innovation. However, the value of such imagination has been underestimated for a long time. No matter how creative and outstanding ideas and imaginations are, it is almost impossible tomunicate and share with others something in the illusion that exists only in individual thoughts. But one day, a device suddenly appeared in the world. Lucid Dream. The value of imagination has be iparably higher than ever before as it is possible to implement and build the imagination that came up in one''s head into images and videos... and furthermore, electronic data. [From now on, I regard you as a first-ss traitor who betrayed the Cronus Empire. If you don''t want to taste the fear of the imperial fleet, surrender right now.] [That damned quantum mechanics cat is going back to the past again and doing strange tricks.] [Keugh! You fucking zombies! How long will they keeping!] They brought about an unconventional and new revolution in human culture by directing their own stories with videos and images on a magnificent and gigantic scale that they would not even dare to dare to dare to dare. [Kyaaaaaaa! fly! I''m flying!] [Kyaa. After all, Fantastic Universe isn''t really a joke.] [Manager, I''m done with work today, so I''ll try to log in first.] [ The results of today''s virtual battle mock training will take the highest weight in future promotion screening. So take it seriously more than ever! Got it!] The virtual space built in the individual''s imagination transcended the limitations of existing time and space, provided various experiences, and helped to handle various tasks smoothly and efficiently. It is not meaningless that simply exists in an illusion and disappears into emptiness, but an imagination that has a reality in a virtual world and has a value ordingly. Therefore, the act of imagining has be abor with great value, and having an excellent imagination has be a kind of talent. Since not all human beings have excellent and original ideas, and only a very few are capable of implementing their imaginations in detail and concretely ... Those who can implement it began to be called a new title. I mean the creator. He is the first creator of mankind and no one dares to touch him.... He is literally more special and superior than anyone else with infinite imagination. jack. He created a world with his own power, created countless lives that filled the world, and created endless stories through them. Virtual world Arcadia. So dreamy and beautiful.... He created a fantasy world like a utopia that could only exist in one''s imagination. This ce, which was born out of endless imagination and fantasies based on stories told by Jenica Paul, his lover and only friend as a child, was a world full of his sincerity and affection, to the extent that nothing was made roughly. But... Unlike him, Minsu is marked by ack of imagination and indifference. The creations he created, who did not have any of the basic knowledge and talents that a creator should have, were allcking and missing... iplete and twisted beings. [A one-eyed creature that devastates the surroundings when it screams] [A monster whose body explodes when it makes eye contact] [A doll that snaps its neck when it makes a sound] [A hydra with ten heads and five bodies] Just a rough set of settings and images in my head Creations made crudely with . Originally, Minsu, who thought deeply and carefully for a long time, gave the characteristics and stories of each existence, and ignored the basic principle of making things and threw them away after getting tired of making things randomly, there is no way to name these creations. did. These pitiful, pitiful rogues wandering in the void without a name and without any purpose or mission. But Jack gave a name for them all, even though they were not his own creations, out of a strange pity that surged in his heart. A being without a name... Unnamed. Kurrureuk Kiaaaaaaaaaa! The beings of the void wandering around outside the world they created, making grotesque cries. Looking at those bizarre, grotesque creatures, Jack muttered with a worried expression on his face. [Whoa... to invade Arcadia with those Unnamed on arge scale... just thinking about it makes my head dizzy.] Non-standard beings created without even thinking about the bnce in the game. There were definitely some guys who were weak enough to question why they were made, but most of them had abnormal strength and fraudulent characteristics or settings that went beyondmon sense. And... among them, there were those who possessed dangerous and powerful powers, especially to the point of driving the whole of Arcadia to ruin. [Eternal dreamer] [Eater ofs and stars] [Goddess who exhales the breath of destruction] [ Eyes looking at the endless abyss] Changed to the hidden ss of the gatekeeper of the past dimension and opened the dimensional door connected to the void Ste, who summoned all kinds of beings at random. Gestalt, the worst disaster that she called and annihted the southern continent of Arcadia, waspletely out of the worldview and setting of this Arcadia. Beings of the same level as him... or perhaps even more destructive and dangerous have been sleeping in this endless void. [If I were to invade Arcadia with those guys, would I be able to stop it...] Disasters with enormous powerparable to the so-called second half crisis scenario. At Minsu''s deration of war that he would use everything he had prepared to attack to destroy the world of Arcadia, Jack made an expression of absurdity. no i was angry [No matter how much he is the benefactor who saved me and allowed this Arcadia to exist, isn''t this too much to be honest...?] Although each has 50% influence, strictly speaking, in the virtual world of Arcadia, it is 100 Jack with a % stake. That''s why he began to run out of patience with Min-soo''s careless attitude that he would openly end the world he had created while pretending to be the final chapter. Woo woo woo. So Jack closed his eyes. Then, she connected directly to Alice, an artificial intelligence that contemtes and observes everything in the world she created, and began contemting and examining everything in Arcadia that she was looking at. The heartbreaking sorrow of a child who lost his family and became an orphan. The fear of a family who is afraid of what will happen again in the future. From the devastatednd to the despair of countless people shivering from hunger and cold. NPCs screaming and groaning in pain without knowing why in Arcadia, which takes ce in endless chaos and disaster. Because they were creations he created himself and beings like children, Jack shed tears without realizing it as he watched the countless NPCs living miserably in this dizzy world. [Are you okay, manager? A strong brain wave change was detected.] Alice, who sensed Jack''s intense emotional change after opening his eyes after the not-so-short synchronization was disconnected and disconnected, immediately inquired about his condition. [Ellis.... Since when did my world change like this?] Arcadia was a peaceful and beautiful world, although it was certainly not perfect. However, the world Jack was looking at now was very different from before. [The world is full of pain and sorrow. Too many people have died, countless cities and countries have disappeared, and only endless chaos is encroaching on this world.] Due to the desires of adventurers, the wrong choices of NPCs, and the mischief of Minsu, his work, which has been destroyed and tainted Looking at it, Jack was clearly regretting it. [Was it wrong to reveal this world... or my world to the world?] Jack agonizes over whether it was the right choice as he remembers the past when he decided to open a virtual reality game called Arcadia to everyone. Alice said to him. [I don''t think it was a wrong choice, Manager.] [What...?] [Please look at the data I analyzed.] And numerous images appear before Jack''s eyes. Tens and hundreds of thousands... No, in the countless videos that filled the endless void that stretched out in front of Jack, Alice pointed out the big and small changes in the world made by the adventurers one by one. [First of all, the young man saved by this adventurerter grows into a hero who saved the kingdom of Kebal from danger. Also, this adventurer here saved the life of an old man who was sick and should have died, and this young pickpocket child willter grow into an outstanding artist thanks to the gold the adventurer gave him.] This adventurer wanders freely in Arcadia . She spoke in a confident tone, as it is Alice who creates and decides the stories of this world that change due to each of their actions. [Adventurers are the ones who bring positive changes to Arcadia. Of course, very few of them bring negative changes, but most of them love this world as much as the manager and are working hard to protect it.] Although it is a virtual world, they spend a long timeughing, crying, getting angry, and being disappointed, making their own memories and memories. Adventurers on the go. Looking at the world bing another precious reality for them, Jack was able to draw a conclusion. [So.... you mean that the damn guy Minsu is the cause of all this situation?] In the end, the worst bastard here is only Kim Min-soo. [That''s right.] A fact that even Alice couldn''t deny. As he recalled this extreme fact, which he could name hundreds or thousands more, Jack called out to Alice with a face as if he had made up his mind on something. [In that case... I''m asking with the authority of Ellis, the creator and chief developer of Arcadia. Right now, Min-soo... no, the situation where Asura descends directly to Arcadia clearly seems to be an act that goes beyond the normal level of probability, right?] [....It is judged that there will be differences in interpretation depending on the point of view.] [I know, you too, Min-soo . What can''t be done if that child tries to enforce all of this with the authority of the manager. But no matter how you look at it, you know that this situation is not normal right now?] [.....] The existing promise has been given away, and now the situation is going ahead with the scenario on its own. Looking at Minsu''s behavior, ignoring all the rules and acting as he pleases, Jack dered to Alice, who was silent. [Then, from now on, I will exercise my authority as the chief developer and give you orders, Alice.] [Identification. Top management level developer Jack Fallen.] [What can I help you with?] As an artificial intelligence, Alice does not care about any interests and just faithfully fulfills the given mission. Jack said to her. [From now on, arge-scale update to the entire world of Arcadia will be implemented.] As the creator and top developer of Arcadia, he will not hide his power. Chapter 489 Chapter 489 The Final War (3) Jack, the creator of Arcadia and the creator of everything in this fictional world. He created something out of nothing with just his imagination, and he was obviously only a severely handicapped person who couldn''t even control his body properly in reality, but in this virtual world, he is more almighty than anyone else... the so-called god. It was a being close to A deity with transcendent divinity that controls each dimension. Dragons, who are said to be the strongest race in Arcadia. Even the World Tree, the world itself that supports the Arcadia continent. He whom all beings in this virtual world call him father and bow their heads. However, despite having such absolute power and authority, Jack basically did not appear in this world or express his will directly. unlimited freedom. and endless possibilities. Jack, who only watched his changing world amid countless unpredictable and confusing incidents and idents, thoroughly adhered to the role of a spectator and bystander. However, he started to move to punish this damn kid by preventing the hopelessly crumbling beautiful work of himself and the huge disaster that was right around the corner. [Confirmmand. Satisfy administrative authority. Operation of update sequence.....] Jack has the highest management authority equal to Minsu. Unlike other Arcadia executives who have to go through all kinds of strict restrictions and dozens ofplicated procedures and screenings to request an update, he was able to break down all those barriers with just onemand. [Awakening of arge-scale update.] [Searching for the target to apply the update.....adjustment.....] And... from that moment on, Alice mobilized all her resources to make the change that Jack desired. began to embody his will in the world. Woo woo woo. What is this...? I can''t believe this..... Mana..... My body...? The mighty mana and aura that suddenly began to swirl inside the body. Arcadia''s wizards and knights could not hide their embarrassment at the sudden change in their bodies without any notice. And it wasn''t just a change that happened to them. Aaaaa! Glorious and great Heaven! Ha ha ha ha! okay! this is it! strength....! Power boils over! The priests, who had closed their eyes and prayed at the sacred and divine revtion that suddenly descended from the sky, shed tears of emotion and cried out to God, while the warlocks and dark knights were drunk with the dense demonic energy emanating from their bodies and shouted with madness. NPCs who were born in Arcadia and were born with their own destiny and potential. At the same time as they were born and while living their own lives, they had their own settings and potentials given by Ellis. As an ordinary citizen of Arcadia, such as a farmer or merchant, the fate of an emperor who rules a territory, a country, and even a continent, and the potential of a rare viin who will stain the world with blood and a benevolent saint who will save the world. Those who are still in the state of seeds.... Those with outstanding talent and potential that may bloom in the distant future. All those variables that were just possibilities were blooming with brilliant flowers at this moment. And..... [You who resemble the firmness of the earth, receive my help.] [It is you, a child who embraces freedom like the vast expanse of the sky.] [Make a contract with me. And burn the enemies who covet this world.] [I will be with you every moment until the moment your life dies.] [Call my name. I will be your powerful strength.] Top-level beings in the fantasy realm and the spirit realm that have never been seen before in Arcadia. As if the top-notch spirits and divine beasts, each possessing mystical powers, approached those who had the power to handle themselves first, reached out their hands and whispered in their ears, asking them to make a contract. They say the same thing as if it was a promise. [Follow the great father''s will and fight to protect this world.] [Do not be afraid, Contractor. A great father is with you behind you.] In Arcadia, beings unable to fully use their powers... possess powerful powers and powers that only appeared in ancient legends or myths, and at the same time were bound by huge missions and restrictions. They were revealing their presence to the world one after another and were looking for a contractor to summon them. In the huge narrative of Arcadia, which began to wriggle in such a violent change, everyone who lived in this virtual world began toe together as one. In the strong will of the original author and the true god of Arcadia to save this world himself. * * * [End of the final chapter scenario project. No. 3 Asura''s invasion.] [Remaining time: 4 days 16 hours 23 minutes 15 seconds.....] The count announcing the final scenario, which began to return immediately after the second scenario, winner-takes-all. During this time, all beings in Arcadia began to prepare for the final battle. And looking at the appearance of everyone busy moving to decorate the final stage, Asura... no, Minsu smiled strangely. Hmm..... Jack has grown a lot too, right? To stab me in the back like this without consulting me. An update that was pushed with the authority of the top developer without any notice. Jack''s action, which instantly increased the power of everyone in Arcadia explosively and caused overall power intion, was an action that had a tremendous impact, enough to be called an abuse of authority and an abuse of power, but Minsu seemed to have noints. No, he knew better than anyone else that he was in a situation where he shouldn''t have been dissatisfied in the first ce. Yeah..... No matter how much I think about it, the bnce of the guys I made was too bad. They are monsters created by taking and pasting misceneous ideas that just pass through our heads. Minsu nodded his head and muttered to himself while examining the army of Asuras wandering in the void world filled with all kinds of powerful and destructive beings that were so absurd, absurd, and even fraudulent. Then, suddenly, Alice''s voice was heard, and documents filled withplicated data appeared on the tablet Minsu was holding. [Even though the top developer enforced the update ex officio, it is judged to be an extremely legitimate act. In this regard, we will send you an analysis graphparing the current power of Arcadia and the power of Unnamed, the force of the void. Please refer to the data before and after the awakening update.] Soplex and massive data that it took over a full month to review. However, Minsu took a close look at the graph in the front as if he wasn''t interested in the details, and put down the tablet with a smile as if he understood it. So... before the update, the power difference was more than twice as high, but now with the Awakening Update, that gap has decreased to 19%, right? [That''s right. But it''s just numerical data. The army of the void is still in an overwhelmingly advantageous state.] Although the number is small, the void is superior in quality and powerful. Arcadia surpasses the Void in quantity, but is significantly inferior in quality. At first nce, you would think that Arcadia, with its numerical superiority, would have an advantage, but in reality this was not the case at all. No matter how many ants there are, the essence is just ants. Their resistance in front of the transcendent beings of the void, each with unbelievable level of power and dignity, was nothing more than the wriggling of a meaningless earthworm. That''s why Alice spoke again, emphasizing that there was no problem with the update that Jack proceeded without permission this time. [The update was judged to be a legitimate update that was carried out within the authority of the chief developer. In addition, since the administrator has already nned and proceeded with a scenario targeting a specific user ex officio, considering the penalty for this, it is sufficiently understandable...] Disimer that we will not make unreasonable patches for a specific purpose targeting him. Jaeyoung, who has a privilege. However, through the second scenario that he abused and abused his authority as a top manager and pushed him, it was Min-soo who precisely shot him and stabbed him with a huge and bulky candy, so Alice pointed out and tried to exin that part. Oh, I see. Alright Alice. In the first ce, I had no intention of wanting to say anything about this update. On the contrary, I thought it was better. Jack gave Arcadia great power to turn an unfavorable situation into an advantage. That''s why, Alice was obviously thinking that Minsu would make all sorts of quibbles, saying that this was cheating, so she said while looking at him who showed apletely different reaction. [I can''t understand the manager''s intention.] Alice, an artificial intelligence with transcendent performance that can more urately predict the future in countless variables by envisioning hundreds and thousands of prediction scenarios even in a split second. However, even she could not urately understand the thoughts of her creator, Minsu, who did not know where to go. However, Minsu told Alice with a smile that he was very satisfied with the current situation. Actually, I didnt like it because the scenario of the final chapter flowed into the main characters one tool. Because you carry too much, the rest of you were just riding the bus, right? So, to be honest, that was very disappointing, but if it happens like this, it will be quite enjoyable to see the other guys working. Jae-Young, who was picked as the main character at the beginning of this final chapter scenario. Of course, he was clearly working beyond Minsu''s expectations and providing the best fun and satisfaction, but the others were not. Not at the level of supporting actors or extras.... Other users in ambiguous positions, no different from backgrounds. Thanks to the rapid growth due to the first catastrophe, the situation was a little better, but in the case of NPCs who did not receive the benefit, they all became airy due to the terrible power intion. However, the massive bncing update Awakening that took ce due to Jack''s intervention and interference. Great wizards and righteous knights who were born very rarely in history. The holy saint who received the love of God and the evil viins who will stain the continent with blood and fear. Legendary spirit lords and summoners who summon spirit kings and divine beasts to thisnd. Numerous heroes and viins to be recorded in the history books were all born on the continent of Arcadia in an instant. To fight against the forces of the Void that will emerge from the rifts of the torn dimension. And to defeat Asura, the owner of the ck Mist, thest viin who will destroy this world. Rather good. This is the perfect setting for a true finale. And Minsu, who was watching it, muttered with his signature evil smile. What kind of ending will the story end in this final war where everything is staked? And in anticipation of how Jae-young, whom he has chosen as his sessor, will surprise him in some other way. Lets have fun sometime... Minsu smirked as he opened the hot chocte and took a sip. A trump card prepared by our top developer for me. Chapter 490 Chapter 490 The Last War (4) It''s been a while since we had a general meeting where all the branch managers gathered like this. How have you been? Arent you pushing yourself too hard in the aftermath of the previous scenario? [.....] President Lee Mi-yeon, who convened a general meeting of Arcadia''s branch managers. She asked a half-joking question to lighten the atmosphere of the meeting, which hadn''t even started yet and was too cold, but the effect was great. [Haa..... Are you saying that now.....] Emily, the head of the US branch, can be said to be on the side of President Lee Mi-yeon the most. Even she let out a deep sigh and began toment andin about the current situation. [As the CEO already knows, the winner-takes-all scenario that was concluded this time was not a dispute between a user and a guild in a normal game, but an attack on ourpany, where huge capitals around the world moved. ] Attacks by the world''s great groups. And in the process, enormous funds and manpower were invested, so the aftermath of the failure of this scenario was not limited to Blue Rock Investment. [Recently, the atmosphere on Wall Street is unusual. Collective and organized movements are being captured everywhere, and recent high-level figures on the Democratic Party continue to contact behind the scenes. It seems that they are trying to give strength to the Democratic Party, who are estranged from us.] [The Chinese tax authorities are conducting aprehensive andprehensive surprise tax investigation of Arcadia''s Chinese branch. Given that no word has been received prior to the investigation, I am guessing that this may have been an order directly from the highest level of the leadership.] [ Intelligence ising in from various ces that the European Union will also prepare a strong regtory bill for virtual reality services by the end of this year. . Additional confirmation is needed to confirm whether the information received has yet to be confirmed , but the situation is not looking very good as the British, German and French governments are taking the lead in pushing for rted legition. ] Reports from branch managers around the world began to explode. The content of each one was simr orpletely different, but the meaning of each movement was clear. I will retaliate, both formally and unofficially, with the monopoly of virtual reality technology and the behavior of Arcadia Co., Ltd., by mobilizing all possible means to bring down a powerful mace of justice... I guess that means something like that. Mi-yeon said with a calm expression, as she had already foreseen that this situation would happen. And soon, as if that wasn''t important, he brought up another topic. We will discuss these issues separatelyter. Anyway, even if we try to deal with it right now, it won''t be a problem that we can do anything about. The reason I summoned you now is because I have a story I want to tell all of you. [Are you talking about what you want to say...?] Everyone looked puzzled when she said that she had something to say, but all the branch managers were shocked by President Lee Mi-yeon''s actions. First of all, I apologize in the name of the general president for the fact that he has caused enormous damage to thepany and each branch by refusing tomunicate with all of Arcadias executives and employees, including you. I want to apologize. I am really sorry. [....?] [....!] The general manager standing up from his seat and bowing his head to apologize to them. Since she had never sincerely apologized for such self-righteous behavior, the shock to the branch managers was even greater. Although you may have already known through several exnations... Until now, I myself have not had any say in this final scenario. And it also has no influence on the scenario that is about to begin. However, at least in such unfavorable conditions, as general president, my role was to take responsibility and protect all of the branch managers and all of Arcadias executives and staff gathered here. Colossal civilints from outraged consumers andrge-scale demonstrations against Arcadia that took ce simultaneously all over the world. In addition, the international virtual reality and direct sanctions against Arcadia Co., Ltd. were truly the worst situation to the extent that the ability of executives, including President Lee Mi-yeon, was doubted. Therefore, President Lee Mi-yeon was apologizing to all of them ording to her convictions and conscience, even though all of these situations were not her intention and she was also a victim. I dont know if I can give you an answer to that with confidence now, looking back on whether or not I did a good job with that task. Now, as a neer in his early 30s, he was too proud to be in charge of thepany. That''s why she tried to keep her dignity and dignity as a president by putting on a calm expression in front of everyone. If this final chapter scenario is over, I promise you one thing. In the future, like now, the boss of the pants.... No. I heard it''s fashionable to call me the craziest X in the world these days? Anyway, I will try to show a more sincere and honestmunication with you guys without acting like the craziest X in the world. [Heheuhmm.....] [Sa... boss...?] The branch managers are perplexed with a prickly look on their faces. However, President Lee Mi-yeon waved her hand as if she was okay and said something with a bitter smile. Dont make such a face. Looking back, I can see why it was called that. Of course, most of them were not my will, but... CEO Lee Mi-yeon twitched her mouth with a strangely unfair expression. However, she couldn''t tell them who the craziest madman in the world was, so she smiled at all the branch managers who were looking at her with nervous faces and said, Then lets all watch together. Thest story that wille to this world that we have cultivated so far. * * * Asura, the master of the ck Mist. Asura, a special NPC with the setting of being a being with power and divinity equal to Jack, the original creator, was also owned by one person. Kim Min-soo, a genius boy who is the top manager and developed this virtual reality technology. An alter ego he created himself, and an existence that is no different from an individual character specially created to y Arcadia. Therefore, Asura was originally the absolute manager of this virtual world, and was a powerful being who could not even dare to deal with any higher divinity in Arcadia. But..... [.....] Since it is a character exclusively for Minsu, Asura has been sleeping with her eyes closed for an endless eternity just floating in the void without any ego. During the long time that Minsu turned his attention to Arcadia, Asura was forgotten for a long time in a state that was just a shell. That is until now. Woo woo woo. [The End of Arcadia''s End Project No. 3 Invasion of Asura.] [Set up virtual personality. Authority and stat bnce adjustment.....] For this final chapter scenario, Alice gave Asura a virtual personality as an NPC. And she downgraded that overwhelming divinity and divinity that no one could stop... and made it a disaster''. And..... [Setting the purpose of action. Assigned a mission.] This puppet-like existence was given a single purpose and reason for existence. An imaginary world that exists only in virtual reality. But even so, the mission to directly lead Arcadia, which is so beautiful and perfect as a utopia, to the path of the end. [Kiyii Lee!] [Kahiahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! Because of their rugged and vicious appearance, they seemed to be angry and running out of control, but they were cheering and rejoicing more than ever. The fact that the father who created them and the great lord of the void world, Asura of the ck Mist, has finally opened his eyes. [My children...] Despite being an artificial personage that had just been created, he waspletely unaware of that fact and smiled as he looked at the numerous void beings that surrounded him. [Finally, the promised time has arrived.] The dimensional barrier that was blocking the invasion of the void. A powerful restraint that no one could break through. However, he slowly walked through the air, looking at the open hole with no restrictions and the world of Arcadia visible through it. Woo woo woo. [Final Chapter No. 3 Invasion of Asura. Time left until start 03:00] Alice contemting everything in this world. As the director who directs everything in this final scenario, she was preparing everything for the final stage by rying the birth of the final boss named Asura to all users in real time. Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. As their lord began to move, the Void hordes began to follow him. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... No, the sight of something starting to move in the far-out darkness, the number of which I dare not count, was huge and solemn enough to make the viewer feel fear prating their souls. [It''s been a while. It''s the end of my sword.] Even just looking at it, an ominous ck mist rises and takes the form of a single sword. And he put his hand toward the dimensional wall that was like a ss window that remained weak and blocked the invasion of the void. Tuung. The dimensional wall that pushed Asura''s hand away, emitting an intense anti-stic force as if it were a living creature. And the pale hand of Asura who had touched the wall was burning ck with intense smoke. An injury so serious that it would not be strange if it were a normal human to faint in extreme pain. However, Asura looked at her hand with a calm expression as if this was nothing, and then smiled with a joyous smile. Poo-wook. Then, he pierced the gray sword toward the dimensional barrier that pushed his hand away without hesitation. Woo woo woo woo. The end of the magic of Asura, the owner of the ck Mist. Arcadia''s creator father''s godly Ark. When the divinity held by the two gods collided violently, the world shook and screamed, but eventually the ark that protected Arcadia was shattered. with chaeng. The dimensional wall shattered with a sharp sound like ss windows breaking. Then, asura inhaled the atmosphere of Arcadia that was quickly rushing in between them, Asura said quietly. [Trample, crush, crush. Shatter it into pieces, tear it to shreds, and eat it all.] Asura in the form of a sickly young man. But that little smile on his face was full of great despair and madness. And he looked at all the void beings screaming in joy behind him and gave the order to carry out the only mission assigned to him. [Destroy the world that is not like that and return everything to emptiness.] Thus, the stage of Arcadia''sst ordeal and disaster that Minsu had prepared opened. [Final Chapter No. 3 Invasion of Asura. Scenario begins.] Under the contemtion of Arcadia''s only game master Alice, a transcendent artificial intelligence. Chapter 491 Chapter 491 The Last War (5) The world outside the standard emptiness. And the lord of the void and the lord of ruin who erased the mythical age of Arcadia in the past. Asura, the master of the ck Mist. [Destroy the world that isn''t like that and return everything to emptiness.] Minsu... no, the moment Asura, who is no different from his puppet, started his activities. Everyone connected to Arcadia started hearing the same message simultaneously. [The final chapter scenario Asura''s invasion has begun.] At the same time as announcing that the final war to decide Arcadia''s final fate has begun, Alice gave everyone additional weight to bnce this lopsided scale. [The Adversary of the End'' buff continues for everyone while the scenario progresses.] [ The quest Arcadia''s Protection'' has been created.] [We wish everyone good luck under the infinite freedom and infinite possibilities.] The antagonist of the end...? This crazy...! What is this? Isnt that a total scam? Wow..... Buff performance is insane. After all, is this the final chapter scenario? Hey..... I think I can really try this one? Adventurers were preparing for battles everywhere while watching the countdown for the final war. And all of them, regardless of who they were, were in a state of being several times stronger in an instant. [Adversary of the End] - 500% increase in the limited damage of the existence of the void. -Void Existence limited damage reduced by 50%. - Increases health and mana recovery by 100%. -Buff efficiency increased by 50%. -100% increase in basic stats. - No death penalty. Disable ess timeout. Starting with the basic stats, the attack power and defense power surged, and the amount of buffs and recovery increased dramatically. In addition, seeing this situation now that the most difficult and intrusive death penalty and ess restrictions have disappeared, the morale of users has literally risen to the peak. With this, we win! Honey! They are all dead! As expected... you didnt skip over the final chapter, did you? But fortunately, the operators had at least some thoughts. A situation in which he had a powerful power in his hand that exceeded his previous level several times. Therefore, a strange feeling of excitement and anticipation appeared on the faces of the users, as if they wanted to use this power to their fullest as soon as possible. And soon, those who looked up at the sky with a nervous expression and prepared for the battle of the century that would soon begin found something falling from the huge dimensional hole. Cut! [Crying Goat] Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemaker [Saplings walking around] Goats and seedlings pour like rain from an open hole in the sky. These grotesque beings, who don''t even know why they were created, couldn''t do anything and struggled. What is this...? What is this... Void army...? I didn''t do anything, but the goats and saplings just fell out of the air and turned gray with the fall damage. Thousands... No, I was looking at the collective suicide of more than tens of thousands of goats and seedlings. And theyughed right away. Keuk ..... puh ha ha ha ha ha. and. this is so funny right now what''s your real name? A howling goat? A walking seedling? Anyway, this dung mangem makes people dumbfounded until the end? A twisted world void where all kinds of bizarre and bizarre settings are in a jumble. The fragments of the unfinished setting that wandered there were obviously crude and messy. They are so bizarre and selfish that you can''t even guess why they were made and for what purpose they will be used. There were some funny ones, like goats and saplings that had just fallen from the sky, but that didn''t mean they represented everything that roamed the void. cooong. uh....? This....? Something huge fell on top of a pile of goats and saplings that had turned gray. And bewilderment spread across the faces of the adventurers who confirmed the name disyed above its head. [Stone statue of an old man who dies when he encounters it] A stone statue that vividly depicts an old man screaming in pain. And the adventurers who looked directly at the statue turned gray in an instant and copsed. [You have died. Be mindful of y.] A fatal setting that will lead to death just by facing it. Unknowingly, hundreds of people were killed in an instant, but thanks to the newly applied buff, they were able to return to the world of Arcadia immediately, ignoring all penalties for death. What! why! This crazy...! What kind of nonsense...! Neither defense nor resistance is possible... A stone statue with an instant death setting. Of course, it was just a solid stone that couldn''t move, but the stone statue of the old man, who had power that was literally fraudulent, was fatal to everyone, no matter how high the level or ability was. And... the stone statue was the true signal to announce the start of this war. Aaaaaaaa! What the hell is that! Aww! gross! go away! Go away! crazy! What''s so fast? heel! heel! heel! heel! No, what the hell is that? Non-standard existence Unnamed who began to appear one after another through the hole in the void. Made up of fragments of short and fragmentary settings, they each had different appearances and characteristics, but they had one thing inmon. [Octopus with a hundred sharp legs] [Monster with indecipherable poison] [Light petrifying rat] [Ogre with five heads and ten arms] [Acid monster that doubles its size when it dies] Any monster of normal level It was the fact that they were beings of a different level of strength and danger. So, when the forces of the void began to appear one after another in earnest in the world of Arcadia, great chaos and countless victims began to ur in various ces. Quaaaaaaaaaaa! Buy and save me! this person....! You crazy bastards! Both NPCs and adventurers. A situation where one of them is unable to deal with it properly and copses helplessly. Jaeyoung, who was watching the gloomy and miserable appearance, let out a deep sigh and murmured. no wonder. I recognized it from the time they gave me this ridiculous level of morale buff. An unprecedented level of buff. Other people were just mistaken for the consideration of the gamepany in order to enjoy thest scenario, but because they knew the truth of the madman who was nning and executing this crazy scenario, and how unfriendly the management of Arcadia was to users, it was very well understood. Because he knew Jaeyoung, he understood this buff in apletely different way. No, I wonder how ridiculously difficult the difficulty level was, but who knew that it would be so deadly..... Anyway, this fucking shit mangem. It''s a shame that he adjusted the bnce while preparing for this final war in his own way. If there were no such measures, he would have been pushed helplessly and would have been annihted by soldiers who were no different than small arms. However, thanks to the newly resurrected and continuously recruited adventurers... and thanks to some special (?) beings, the bnce of this fierce battle was barely maintained. [Guardians of the great Arcadia, defeat the apocalypse with the honor of the n!] The world''s strongest dragon with a mission to protect Arcadia from a huge disaster. [Woo Woo Woo Woong!] The strongest organic slime that was once the weakest race but beyond its limitations. And... [Magic Cannons! One shot loaded! Launch!] Even the Nautilus, the ultimate cataclysmic battle weapon that sweeps away everything while blowing a mushroom cloud. All of those who can be called scammers from their very birth are participating in this war and contributing great strength to resisting the enormous forces of the void that are constantly pouring out. Billions of users... and countless heroes and viins of the newly born Arcadia are all fighting against this war. Master, why are youughing all of a sudden? Seeing him smiling silently by himself, Jaeyoung said to Tan who asked with a puzzled expression. No... I think I know why that madman is doing this. what....? Look at what is happening right in front of your eyes. Can''t you feel anything? Fight to the death...? Is there anything? Everyone in Arcadia is fighting an all-out war against the beings of the void. However, Tan, who was watching it, tilted his head with an expression that showed no particr inspiration. The warlocks and priests, who were always busy cursing and hating each other, stood back to back to protect each other''s lives, and the kingdom''s soldiers, who had been fighting until recently, are now fighting together asrades-in-arms. Even the dwarves and elves, even those picky and arrogant lizards. Everyone is working together to fight against a huge enemy. good and evil. ideology and country. gender and age too. race and caste. A moment that can''t be found in any history when everyone stood up with weapons to protect this fantasy world of Arcadia from the gigantic enemies of Void and Asura, without clinging to anything. Watching this situation from a distance where everyone gathered to stop the end, Jaeyoung felt a strange feeling that made her heart warm. Unity of all. And... the role of a viin who mercilessly tramples on and destroys it... Asura, who truly ys the role of the absolute evil of this world. I don''t know why he''s trying to create this situation, but when he sees it from the third person''s point of view, Jaeyoung smiles, thinking that this moment is truly the best thing to see. I really dont have any bad taste like this. Bad taste...? Well... but it''s like this... I have to get it right until the end. Tan and El. why? Did you call? The devil and the archangel look at Jaeyoung''s call with curious expressions. Jaeyoung gave the order to the two of them. Are you guys going to fight in this war too? yes....? What are you talking about....? It''s a war of the century that puts the fate of this world on the line, so why do you guys just watch it as if you''re watching a scene from across the river? The heaven world and the demon world... and the spirit realm and the phantom world are technically members of Arcadia, right? Then, of course, you should lend a hand. Jae-young asks to add strength to the war against the void. However, Tan and El frowned and said as if they were a little troubled. That''s it, master... that''s not something we can do as we please. that''s right. The circumstances in which we can intervene in Arcadia are really limited. The heavens and the demons are tightly bound by missions and all sorts of restrictions. So no matter how much the invasion of the void started, strictly speaking, it was not a reason for them to move. However, at Tan and Ls exnation, Jaeyoung asked with a strange smile. Not anymore? what....? What is that...? Woo woo woo. The probability of a gray aura rising from Jaeyoung''s body. It was the same power as before, but unlike before, the whole world was shaken by the change brought about by that probability. Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo. What is this...? Unbelievable..... Impossible..... Gaebyeok (_V). The sky opened and two worlds that had never been revealed before were revealed for the first time beyond the already ruined dimensional wall. The road to the spirit realm and the phantom realm has been opened...? What the hell is this...? heaven and hell. And the spirit realm and the fantasy realm. Seeing the scene where the gates to all dimensions connected to Arcadia were wide open, Tan and El opened their mouths in amazement. And then he hurriedly turned his head to look at the person responsible for this unbelievable miracle. As a wanderer in a troubled world, Imand... An absolute order in exchange for probability. And that order was clearly given to all angels, demons, spirits and divine beasts, distorting the absolutews that supported Arcadia. Give me 10 seconds. Everythinges out. Chapter 492 Chapter 492 The Last War (6) The Heavens and the Demons. And the spirit realm and the fantasy realm. Although closely rted to Arcadia, the beings here, who were divided into distinctly different dimensions, could originally only emerge through strict and demanding procedures and various processes. Existences that only appear temporarily through beings belonging to Arcadia, such as advents, summons, or contracts, and can exert their power in a very limited way. But now, appearing in this final war, they are fighting the forces of the Void with their power unleashed more freely than ever before. [go away! You worms!] [Kieeh!] [This continent belongs to the great dark lord and our demon world!] Hell''s demons and monsters spouting corrupted demons appear in Arcadia as guardians, not invaders. has revealed [Sacred torch, judge the imperfect with unquenchable mes.] [God''s protection will protect you.] Angels, who were busy judging and trembling if they were demons, fought back to back to protect and protect them. [Brothers and sisters, do what you can to protect this world.] [Destroy all the ugly invaders that pollute this world.] [Disappear. This world is not a ce for you.] The spirits and divine beasts, who hated battles and wars more fiercely than anyone else and never intervened in Arcadia''s affairs, were actively and voluntarily fighting. And there was one being looking at the miraculous situation. How... is this possible? A young girl with green hair and green eyes. She had a very small stature that looked like she was only 9 years old, but her divinity and prestige were so huge that no one could ignore them. uh? what. The Great Forest is far away from here, so how did you manage to get around like this? The existence that supports this world and the only deity belonging to Arcadia. The World Tree is a symbol of life and the mother of all things. When she, who had never left her realm, appeared out of nowhere, Jae-young looked at him with an unexpected look and asked, but World Tree muttered with a puzzled expression. Even the Demon Realm and the Celestial Realm are like that.... Even the Spirit Realm and the Phantom Realm open a direct passage through which they can intervene without going through me? This is impossible even for you, no matter how special you are. Arcadia stands for infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. However, beings with transcendent divinity were not allowed such freedom. In front of the huge shackles of a mission, they are like puppets who must faithfully move on stage ording to their predetermined destiny and role. That''s why the World Tree was in great confusion watching what was happening all over the continent. How... how can an angel or a demon... let alone a spirit or divine beast, but a mere human subject, exercise the absolute right tomand? The authority granted only to the heads of each dimension, the absolute right tomand. Seeing the beings from another dimension who entered the war to protect the world of Arcadia ording to that order, the World Tree asked. And Jaeyoung answered that question. that''s right. It is impossible on my own. ...? But it''s possible if you''re the creator of this world. What is that...? No matter how much the characteristics and probability of the profession of a wanderer in the turbulent world are fraudulent, there were obviously limitations. It was impossible to do anything too outrageous, since the greater the influence of the rules and settings to be twisted and manipted, the greater the probability needed to grow exponentially. However, in this final war, it waspletely possible. [The final chapter scenario, Asura''s Invasion has begun.] [The job perk Agent of the Creator'' buff continues.] Unlike others who were given the buff of Adversary of the End, Jaeyoung was given a buff with apletely unfamiliar name. And the effect of that buff was brief and simple. [Agent of the Creator] -The world responds to your will. The developer''s intention to openly intervene in this situation is palpable. Thanks to this title, which is like permission to do whatever you want, Jae-young realized this impossible miracle that he could not dare tomit even with tens of billions of possibilities. You still dont know? Whose will is this will that is being embodied through me? What the hell is that...? The world tree froze with astonished eyes as if it noticed something. But just as she was about to ask something, a huge roar came from the sky. Ku-goo-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung. Powerful vibrations as if the entire world would be twisted. And beyond the broken and ruined dimensional wall, an existence appeared as it sshed an enormous spark. [Still... this world is messy and messy.....] A being with the appearance of a handsome scion with a face as pale as a sheet of paper. However, the terrible darkness felt from him and the huge divinity that swallowed even the soul clearly showed that he was not an ordinary human being. Asura, the master of the ck Mist. The eyes of the adventurers began to change strangely when he appeared, the final boss of this scenario and the end of everything. oh! The boss is out! If we catch him, this scenario will end, right? If you hit thatst, how much will you contribute...? Novelty, curiosity and greed. Because they do not die even if they die and the fact that the end of this disgusting scenario is in sight, rather than shrinking, they began to attack all at once, not to be defeated by anyone. Kill! Aww! Lets poke a persimmon you cant eat! Distance! Distance dealers! Beat all of them at one point! A situation where attacks with all kinds of powerful power are pouring from all sides. However, despite the tremendous firepower being projected and flying towards him, Asura did not blink an eye. I just stayed still... No, I stretched out my hand with a mocking smile. [That''s stupid.] Fighting. All of the attacks lost their power and disappeared with just one word. Then Asura asked, pointing the small sword he was holding in his other hand toward the crowd of ants in the distance. [Did you think that things like bugs could harm me with just such things?] It was a small action that was no more than swinging a sword in the air yfully. But the aftermath was huge. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. A huge scar carved across the continent as if something had cut through it. And the life that filled it all disappeared without leaving a trace. A powerful blow that annihted hundreds of thousands of living beings in an instant without being able to block dragons, top-level demons, or anything else. Looking at the overwhelming destructive power and the resulting aftermath, users could not close their gaping mouths. This crazy...? It''s ridiculous..... How to catch that thing... Asura didn''t even start in earnest, but looked unusual. However, he looked down at the continent of Arcadia and muttered, as if he had no intention of moving yet. [In front of the end, any hope is meaningless. You still haven''t given up your futile resistance in front of the void, foolish creatures...] Asura muttered as if it was regrettable. And he looked at everyone and said. [Humbly face the moment of the end in front of the overwhelming power of the void.] That moment. In the huge hole of the void, beings that had not yet appeared began to emerge, tearing through the gaps in the dimension. [The one who dreams of eternity] [The devourer ofs and stars] [The goddess who exhales the breath of destruction] [Eyes gazing into the endless abyss] Each one of them has a transcendental status beyond the ordinary level. Asura smiled and murmured as she watched those gigantic disasters appearing and slowly engulfing Arcadia. [This is... your true destiny.] * * * Uhmm..... It''s shit as expected. Obviously powerful, but the forces of the void that adventurers and NPCs could deal with. In addition, when all the beings of the other dimensions, including the celestial world and the demon world, intervened, they were leading the war situation quite advantageously to the extent that there was actually hope beyond the level of boiling. However, the true void and disasters that appeared with Asura. Jaeyoung frowned as if he was in trouble as he looked at the countless people disappearing meaninglessly in front of their overwhelming and transcendent divinity. However, the world tree muttered something with a detached expression. As expected... can''t the predetermined fate be reversed... The ending was already decided from the beginning of this Arcadia. The World Tree, who had been aware of her own predestined death from long ago, was clearly aware of the overwhelming power of Asura felt on this vast continent... and far away. The fact that no matter how much you resist and struggle, you can''t change the ending that has already been decided. So, the world tree said to Jaeyoung, who was struggling with something. Give up. This is a narrative that has been set in this world that no one can stop. I expected a miracle, but when I faced the reality calmly, I could never expect victory. Therefore, the World Tree was determined to face the end while humbly epting its fate until the veryst moment. But... Who cares? what....? What kind of shitty situation is it that its predestined and an absolute narrative that cant be changed? Jaeyoung doesn''t agree with the idea of the World Tree. And he said it like he was fed up. There are no absolutes in this world. No, there is no game without strategy. I just don''t know what to do. Dont keep saying things like that in front of someone who is trying to find a strategy. What the hell is that...? Rather... you are the main stakeholder in this doomsday scenario, arent you? Why are you talking about this nonsensical conversation with me while crossing the river? what....? Come to think of it, the strongest person in Arcadias worldview is not Dragon, but you? Hes the only deity with divinity within the continent of Arcadia, and thats pretty powerful. The first being created in the beginning and the first child of the father, the world tree. That''s why she was originally the most powerful being that even Tan and El couldn''t dare to do anything with 1:1. Of course.... the restrictions and missions were also thorough. That is impossible. I... can''t do anything aggressive. A world tree with an extremely peaceful mission to the extent that it has no mission for self-defense, so even if attacked by someone, there is nothing it can do except be beaten. That''s why she always had to watch with her own two eyes as Tan and El were doing all sorts of tricks and fuss in Arcadia. No, it is possible. what....? Am I telling you to do that? Now what is that...? No... wait a minute..... Gye-soo realized something was wrong while talking with Jae-young. And she looked at Jaeyoung with eyes that were about to jump out in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice. How... how did this happen...? Jaeyoung murmured softly to the World Tree, who was in great shock, feeling in real time that the powerful restraints that had been holding her down from the beginning until now were disappearing. Who said it? This world is truly a world of infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. The motto that runs through this arcadia. Reciting it, Jaeyoung ordered the world tree. You literally decide the fate of this world. ..... The World Tree thought about something at those words. And she said with a strange smile. I''ve lived quite a while... but you... you''re such a unique human being. I hear that often. Jaeyoung smirks and responds smirkingly. Then, the world tree raised one hand to the sky and said to Jaeyoung. thanks. Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo-goo. A giant tree root suddenly rises in the middle of the continent. Seeing that, everyone made a shocked expression. The World Tree felt an indescribable sense of pleasure and liberation and hit it hard. Everyone die, you damn bastards. Chapter 493 Chapter 493 The Last War (7) There are many deities that exist in Arcadia. However, the divinity that had the most influence and weight among them was none other than the World Tree. Mother of all things and life and Yggdrasil. She is the root that supports the whole of Arcadia and is a divinity that is nature itself that forms a harmonious ecosystem. With a mission to only support the world and provide a richnd and beautiful nature for all living things to live on, she has cared for, embraced, and protected the lives of all things from the beginning to the present. [In the beginning, there was a huge tree that supported Arcadia. That tree loved all life,posed nature, and possessed the benevolence of all things in the world. With agape love that is always sacrificial and devoted, he provided them withnd where they could set foot unreservedly, shade where they could rest from all kinds of pain and suffering, and fruits that could quench their hunger and thirst.] Being admired and respected by all things . Being a receiving mother, nature and the world itself. world tree. However, the restrictions of the absolute mission bestowed by that mighty power always suppressed her. Because she could never act aggressively under any circumstances... Despite having that mighty divinity and power, she always kept her ce and never revealed her presence to anyone. Right now. Woo woo woo woo. Quad de de de de de de deuc. Numerous stems and roots protruding through the earth. From the size of an old tree that looks as if it has been there for thousands of years to the size of a huge tree reminiscent of a mountain range. Thousands and tens of thousands... No, the huge body of the World Tree that holds the vast world of Arcadia began to move freely beyond its original purpose. What is this...? Aaaaaaaaaaa! What is that! Aaaaaaaaaaagh. have you ever imagined Hundreds of meters... no, the sight of huge tree roots as high as several kilometers, striking the ground with all their might? It was just a simple blow, but the powerful attack thatpletely shattered part of the continent of Arcadia crushed everything in the area without a trace, including the beings of the void that had been seething endlessly. And... all over the continent of Arcadia, her free will was clearly heard in everyone''s ears. [I wascent because I was just watching you silently until now, right?] A voice full of madness, as if this situation were enjoyable. And that voice was filled with a strange sense of triumph, as if to try something. [I''ll turn everything into powder, you fucking trespassers.] Kuuuuuuuuuuugh. Tree roots springing up incessantly from all sides. And each one of those roots grabbed hold of the beings of the void that roamed around them, and unleashed their green, mighty divinity, mercilessly crushing and crushing them without any mercy in their hands. Kiki eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kyaaaaaaaagh! Cut! The beings of the void who are dying miserably enough to feel sorry for them. The users who had been fighting the final war against them until just now looked confused when they saw them screaming in agony and dying horribly as their bones were crushed. Wow... they''re obviously the bad guys, so why do they look so pitiful...? Wasnt the world tree a symbol of peace...? Uuuuuuuu..... It really hurts just to look at it... Pood deud deude deuk. Cataclysmicary and ster predators, ording to the post-crisis scenario. The sight of tree roots burrowing into the body of a gigantic creature that fills the sky, breaking through everything inside the creature and breaking through its skin, was truly a grotesque and terrifying sight that could only be seen in a horror movie. [Kuaaaaaaaaaaaa! Oh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, and monsters that pour out unknown fluids by giving up their ears that may be torn because they do not die because of their persistent vitality. Thousands and tens of thousands... No, little by little subtle emotions began to grow in the eyes of the creatures of Arcadia as they watched the cruel and terrible end of him dying while being pierced through the roots and trunks of hundreds of thousands of trees. [Elle Elle!] Another disaster of an unknown void that is unknown, resisting the roots of green and crowds all around, seeing the terrible end of his colleague. However, not long after, they all turned their heads one by one and closed their eyes as they saw a gruesome death that they could not bear to open their eyes again. Wow..... No matter what happens... I must not touch the World Tree... Uh... I feel like my stomach will churn just looking at the tree... . The World Tree, the mother of all things, was a symbol of peace and benevolence. However, at this moment, she shows mad violence enough to say that any hardcore gore movie should go away, and she was clearly recorded in the history of everything she saw with her own eyes. It is said that the World Tree is a mad deity with a more violent and cruel temper than anyone else. * * * The intrusion of the World Tree and the forces of the void struggling helplessly because of her. No matter how much the Unnamed''s settings and powers are beyond the standard and ridiculous, they are mere creatures, and they cannot be opponents of the transcendent divinity that supports the world of Arcadia and the world tree that was first born. That''s why Asura looked at this incident that was happening and felt a sense of displeasure. [I don''t understand. How can the tree of life resist like this...?] Originally, an existence that should have just watched the end of this world. However, the feeling he felt when he saw her stepping out and rejecting her own end and fiercely resisting was a feeling of wonder. Isnt that obvious? It''s about to destroy the world, but how could the world, the culprit behind it, just watch it? It''s not a petty thing, but benevolence should have a degree. [You are...?] Asura turned his head at the sudden voice behind him. And the dark-haired man looking at him was smiling and waving as if he was happy to see him. I think we wont have to fight if we quietly retreat now... but do you seriously intend to do that? They say that if I fight directly with you, I have to use up my probability, but honestly, it''s a waste of probability. A person who speaks as if he is a little troubled. He couldn''t understand how he could stand so high up in the sky...and in front of him so confidently, but Asura soon found the two deities beside him and tilted his head. [I don''t know what happened while I was asleep..... Since when did the fallen beast and the contradictory hypocrite be together?] Michael and Satan, beings who are ipatible with each other. It was iprehensible that the two of them were clinging to the side of a human being, but there was another fact that was more mysterious than that. [More than that... How can a human being have the same power of emptiness as mine?] Asura asked with a confused look on his face. However, Jaeyoung answered his question. It''s because wee from the same origin. [What...?] It''s because the guy who made you and the guy who created this damn job I have are both the same guy. [They talk about things you can''t understand...] It''s not that you can''t understand it, it''s that it''s made so that you can''t understand it. In the first ce, you are just a scarecrow. Not a real Asura, but an Asura created by AI. That''s why he didn''t show any reaction to Jaeyoung''s story. As befits a puppet and doll, he acted ording to the role given to him. [Conversation beyond this is meaningless. Stop dying.] While having a conversation, Asura suddenly swings the sword in her hand. Wow. And the power of the void was projected explosively and tore the atmosphere around the area, but the attack did not achieve what he wanted. [Hoh..... You''re an interesting person.] Uh uh uh uh. magic and divine power. A new power created bybining those two forces that could never coexist. holy power. Asura''s expression subtly twisted for the first time as he watched that disparate and contradictory power swirl and block his own attack. [A mere mortal dares to hold two opposite divinities in one body... It surprises me many times.] It was impossible with hismon sense. However, the pure white wings made of divine power and the wings of corruption made of demonic power were clearly proving that the impossible was happening in reality. Why are you so surprised already? The full-fledged highlight hasnt even started yet, right? [What the hell are you talking about?] Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Jae-young pushes all the odds and strengthens Tan and El at the same time, and furthermore, holds both Deathbringer and Muspelheim in his hands and pours all avable power. But that wasn''t all he had prepared for this end. Respond to the call, Gigantes. Woo woo woo. [What else is that...?] Gigas, a gigantic tens of meters tall weapon that appears through subspace. The magical circuitpleted by the dragons, who are the lords of magic, and the magic engineers of the Gael Federation, who are full of all sorts of creative and innovative ideas, tearing their brains out and pondering over and over again. In addition, Iyatongson, who has the divinity of Vulcanus, and numerous Dwarven artisans joined together toplete this weapon before the start of the final war, and this weapon was truly the best masterpiece of Arcadia. Do you know how hard it was to get this done before you guys came? Even if you scrape all the Orichalcon and Mithril, it''s not enough, so you exhausted your probability and robbed all the treasures of the heavens and demons? That''s how I made it. Jaeyoung smiled mischievously at Asura, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and half-jokingly half-heartedlyined. Then, he took something out of his pocket. But... but thanks to thepletion of this, strangely, I lost my confidence. The confidence to be defeated by you. [That''s...?] Thest legacy that Declen left before he died, which was a crisis scenario and disaster in the second half. eternal heart. Having infinite mana... When the heart, which was out of Arcadia''s setting, was attached to the core of Gigantes, a huge magical storm raged and Gigantes began to operate. [Where do you dare to do strange tricks...!] Asura started boarding the Gigas and, as if instinctively sensing a sense of danger, swung the apocalypse and tried to eliminate Jaeyoung. However, the absolute defense surrounding Gigantes, which had already begun to operate, blocked all attacks thanks to the unfathomable output of the Eternal Heart, which supplied infinite mana. cooong. Uponpletion of boarding, Gigantes''s own mana and holy magic roared in harmony and explosively amplified a huge and overwhelming power. When Muspelheim and Deathbringer, which had grown to the size of Gigantes, began to emit their huge divinity explosively, Asura instinctively felt it. The fact that the power that human possesses is at a level that surpasses even the power of the endless void he possesses. [You bastard...! What the hell is it!] Asura, gritted teeth and vigntly, with a look of bewilderment, wondering where the lofty and leisurely momentum from before had gone. Jaeyoung grinned and muttered to Asura, who seemed to have lost hisposure for the first time. [What is my true identity...?] Wow. Arriving so quickly that no one, including Asura, could react, wielding two sacred instruments with powerful divinity... Jaeyoung gave the answer to that question. [This is the strongest troller in the history of the game.] Chapter 494 Chapter 494 The Last War (8) The first and best virtual reality game yed by billions of people around the world. Arcadia. Indistinguishable from reality... Another perfect reality that could only exist in a fantasy world did not remain as a mere y, butpletely transformed the culture and daily life of mankind as a whole. Baby, where shall we travel this holiday? europe? USA? Or Australia? Um..... If we have the money to go there, shall we just enjoy the premium package at Fantastic Universe? This time, a new activity called Raising Dragons came out, and they said it was the best. Honey, our Byeong-ho... You dont seem to have any aptitude for studying. These days, when you enter a ce called a guild, the sry of argepany is said to be ridiculously high. hey! This time, the space invasion of the cat robot without ears 2 is released! did you hear that? Virtual Office is really sweet. Sincemuting to and from work takes less than a second, I can no longer do that nonsense that I used to waste three hours on the subway every day. People who transcend time and space... and enjoy all kinds of benefits that have not been enjoyed in any era in the limitless resource of imagination. That''s why the world of Arcadia, which was released just over two years ago, took root deeply in people''s daily lives at a phenomenal speed and fascinated everyone. That''s why, although the reasons were slightly different for each of them, everyone jumped into this final war with the same goal in mind. Dont touch my food line and get everything off! If this game fails, what are you going to do with all the money I invested! Absolutely not! Quaaaaaa! I crave as much contribution as possible and hit one legendary item! Operation is shit, but does that make sense to end the service! You damn gamers! With the promise to protect this beautiful and dreamy world of fantasy with your own two hands. As expected... watching a fight is the most fun in the world, isn''t it for nothing? Minsu is munching on popcorn while watching all the situations where everyone is struggling desperately. He looked at the world of Arcadia with a look of great interest and said with a satisfied smile. The heavenly world, the demonic world, the phantom world, and the spirit world will intrude into this final war... Existences that would not have even appeared in the original scenario n. Those who should have just watched the war between the Void and Arcadia asplete neutrals and bystanders were all rushing forward and siding with Arcadia, destroying all the beings of the Void that they had worked so hard to create. Jack, isnt this too unfair? Arcadia''s power alone is ignorant, but you''re calling your friends here? This is not fair in a fair fight. [Where do you see this as a fair fight? The bnce is also in a bad situation.] To Min-su, who smiled mischievously and argued, as if he was not dissatisfied at all, Jack replied with a bold attitude. [Anyway, this is what you want, right? To make something so big that no one can even handle it. I created this final scenario in the first ce because I wanted to make a mess that I couldn''t even think to deal with and enjoy watching it.] Minsu doesn''t care about the end of Arcadia and just wants to enjoy the current situation of confusion and shock. So, after pointing that out, he did not deny Jack''s question as to what was the problem. Well... that''s not wrong. To be honest, this situation is rather good for me now. It''s true that the bigger the board, the more fun it gets. In fact, it is true that the war situation is more exciting. But...but one thing is wrong. I didn''t make this finale scenario just for fun. [What...?] I said it once before, but forgot it? In the first ce, why did I create this existence called Asura and conceived this final scenario from the early nning stage of the game called Arcadia? Minsu pointed his finger at Jack, who was looking at him with an absurd expression, saying that everything had a deep meaning. This is the setting I made for you. [what....? For me...?] Basically, AI, including Alice, assists all users to recognize Arcadia as a game with excellentputing and analytical power. However, since they do not have the same creativity and imagination as humans, they can only imitate them and cannot create and maintain this world perfectly. Because you, the creator of Arcadia, exist, Arcadia can also exist. Arcadia, a fantasy world created andpleted only by the imagination of one human being. In order to serve billions of users in this living, breathing and changing world in his head, Alice''s assistance was essential, but it was not the core. You dont think that the world of Arcadia in your head canst forever, right? Jack, who was just 17 years old, had a bright future ahead of him, but he was a human who would eventually die as time passed. Therefore, this fantasy world could not be immortal. Fifty years... Well, if you''re lucky, you might be able tost a century, but eventually the world of Arcadia will disappear. With your death, our humanity will lose the one and only perfect virtual world. Well.... If you invest astronomical amounts of capital and manpower, you can somehow imitate it to a simr level, but I''m betting everything, and I''m sure you can''t re-create a lively world where everything lives and breathes so perfectly to the level you created. going to be. [.....] The distant future that I can''t even feel yet. Jack, who had never seriously pondered or thought about death, kept his mouth shut when Minsu talked about the future of Arcadia, which would disappear with his death. That''s why your world needs an ending. With the advent of Asura, who destroys everything in this world and returns it toplete emptiness and nothingness, everyone enjoys thest moment to the fullest while feeling a sense of shame in front of a huge end that they cannot even dare to resist. It will be forever remembered as a legendary game that will never happen again to everyone and another world that was so perfect. In other words, Asura and the final scenario created for the final ending of Arcadia, which will disappear with Jack''s death, as the final self-destruct switch. However, listening to his story in silence, Jack, who was about to kneel down, said, Our Minsu had such a deep meaning!'' [But I''m still perfectly healthy?] [And if it was a damn game anyway, why did you stake 15% with the final chapter scenario as bait?] [ Moreover.... Wasn''t it purely for fun that you pressed the switch for the chapter scenario?] Even if you think about it, there are many strange things. And to Jack''s questioning, Minsu smiled at that evil smile and answered so shamelessly. yes. I started because I thought it would be fun. [.....] Jack, with a look of sincere contempt, looks like he''s staring at a madman. Then Minsu waved his hand and said. why. Honestly, I think I''ll have to wait a hundred years for you to die, but it''s a scenario I put my heart and soul into in my own way, so you might be wondering how it will y out. curiosity. and fun. It is an unchanging fact that these sadals were punished for only two reasons. That''s why Jack let out a deep sigh with a tired face as if to stop talking. [done. what do i say Only my mouth hurts.] Hey, but youre not saying anything about me openly intervening. Minsu nced at the situation in Arcadia. And he looked at the core forces of the void dying with a gruesome appearance that was difficult to express in words, and said as if he was dumbfounded. Still, isnt it crossing the line for even the World Tree to intervene? How are you going to beat that? The unnamed who are fighting fiercely against the roots of trees that have risen from all over the continent. There are adventurers and residents of Arcadia. And seeing that Elyos, Asmodian spirits, and phantom beasts were being lynched as a group and were literally being killed, it was clear that they were invaders, but the forces of the void felt pitiful. [What do you do? Im not like that.] What...? [This is all your karma.] What do you mean...? Minsu still doesn''t understand the situation properly. However, Jack, who is contemting the world of Arcadia directly, showed an image of an area of Arcadia on the monitor right in front of Minsu. What else is that...? Woo woo woo. Jae-Young, who is on Gigas and holding two sacred instruments, isunching an onught against Asura. And looking at his overwhelming inaction, Jack said in awe. [This is so ironic. Like that bastard, all the elements you made to fuck mee together like this ande back as a huge dagger that fucks you up. Is this the butterfly effect?] What....? Butterfly Effect. As the saying goes that the pping of a small butterfly''s wings causes a huge storm on the other side of the globe, the countless elements hidden by Minsu are all mixed together to create unbelievable results. A fraudulent job that allows you to distort and disregard all settings andws with the guarantee of probability. Wandering song of the turbulent world. It is a product of Gestalt, which was created by providing cutting-edge science fiction technology that can never be tolerated in Arcadia, a medieval fantasy, and the best masterpiece created by the fusion of magic and science. giant. Thest legacy left for revenge by the light dragon, Declen, who was the only one of Arcadia''s existence to know that this world was a lie and went mad and ran amok. eternal heart. The settings that Minsu made and cheapened without thinking. However, all those settings came together and came together to create an unexpected result. The inevitability created by coincidence and coincidence. Destiny created by inevitability and inevitability intertwined andplicatedly intertwined. And in that destiny, the miracle that was absolutely impossible originally was happening in real time. [Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu] Wow..... What is that now? Can you really beat Asura? [okay. In this scenario, Asura was just downgraded to the level of a strong deity, and the level of power that child can exert now is unbelievably strong.] The only way to prevent the end of this world with your own power is not treat Seeing Jaeyoung try to make this ridiculous miracle a reality, Minsu opened his mouth. Really... No, thats what happens? Could I have made something like that...? Attack itself is impossible... no, the final scenario designed to be impossible in the first ce. However, seeing that he was trying to clear the final scenario with an absurd strategy, Minsu muttered with an absurd expression on his face, but Jack found this situation so natural. [What is new? That kid is a total troll. That''s a huge gag. Do you know how many executives and staff members worked overtime with nosebleeds and were tormented by users because of that one guy?] A troll that deviated from the developers'' ns and intentions with oundish and all kinds of bizarre concepts. Sometimes, theymit all sorts of nuisances, earning re from other users and being criticized, but in their entricity, apletely original and new meta was born and a strategy was created. And... Jack looked at Minsu''s bewildered expression for the first time with a bewildered expression, smiled so satisfied and muttered proudly. [Still, thanks to that troll, the end of this world won''t go the way you want?] Feeling immense vicarious satisfaction seeing him stuffing a big, huge candy into that damn kid''s mouth. Chapter 495 Chapter 495: The Last War (9) Asura, the Master of the ck Mist. Born with the sole purpose of bringing the end to this Arcadia, he was clearly a strong being that no one dared to face. Originally, he should have taken on the role of an absolute man and a yer who should give everyone the final moment in the midst of the overwhelming power of the void. However, his role has changed to somethingpletely different on the stage of this final war in a huge variable that no one expected. [Kuhh..... How dare a mortal do that!] A weapon with destructive power so powerful that it can blow up a mountain range with just a yful wield, and a divine apocalypse that holds its divinity. . Unstoppably emitting powerful power that could not be blocked by any means, Asura was struggling to defeat the enemy in front of him, but he could not achieve what he wanted. Woo woo woo. When it collides with the power of the void, it emits blue sparks and resists 9 ss magic absolute defense. Originally, even the dragon could only block it once, and all the mana was depleted, and it was a horse-level attack, but the infinite mana supplied by the heart of eternity blocks the enormous power of the void and continues to maintain the shield. was going out Wow. Kwaaang. [How... how can you block the power of the void with magic!] Asura continues to wield her divine weapon, screaming in disbelief even while looking at an absolutely impossible situation. Even if the defense was breached just once, the attack was so powerful that it would not leave a trace, but Jaeyoung, as if not intimidated in the slightest, began to approach Asura one step at a time. I told you.... It''s impossible to pierce a barrier with infinite durability no matter what you do? Woo woo woo. The blue light rising from the eyes of the Gigantes that Jaeyoung is on board. Concentrating the endless mana power supplied by Declen''sst legacy and core power source, the heart of eternity, in one hand, Jaeyoung activated dozens of skills built into Gigas at the same time. [Absolute Pration] [Magic Amplification] [Add, Add, Add] [Runaway Magic] [Breaking the Limit] [Snipe] . . . Pration Enhancement Overload... The moment when the magical storm reached its climax as all the skills with damage-increasing effects were stacked. Jaeyoung stretched out his hand right in front of Asura, who was swinging his sword as if desperate, and activated the skill. Mana Canon. and that moment. A powerful storm raged with a huge roar that tore through the skies of Arcadia. Aaaaaaaaaaagh. Wow..... This crazy... The ridiculous destructive power of the top-notch mana stone exploded with aughably loud roar. Most of them were just staring at the scene with nk expressions on their faces from afar, but the reaction of the viewers who were watching Jaeyoung''s video streaming was truly shocking. -Mana Cannon? Wasn''t that a 3 circle magic? -yep. hit. -But that kind of ridiculous poweres out with only 3 circle magic...? A magical mana cannon whose attack power increases ording to the amount of mana possessed by the caster. However, since it was generally a low-circle magic, its attack power was not very high, so everyone was stunned by Jae-young''s attack, which showed incredible and formidable power beyond the scope of understanding. -Really... Does this make sense? -and. Originally, I knew it was fraudulent, but this is too much ... An attack with tremendous destructive power that can''t even be measured. And, as expected of those people, Asura, who was hit right in front of the attack, was gasping for breath with a distorted expression on his face. [You bastard...!] Asura''s body seems to have dealt a significant blow, and gray energy is leaking out from here and there. However, Jaeyoung did not even give him a chance to deal with the damage and counterattack, and continued to attack. The Requiem of the Apocalypse. Whoops. The corrupting power that pollutes and corrupts everything erodes the pure power of the Void. Time for Judgment. Roaring. The sacred fire, which had dense and thick divine power, burned the Asura''s divinity. Muspelheim, the god of heaven. And the god of demons, the Deathbringer. The two gods, possessing a mighty divinity that could overturn the entire continent of Arcadia with just one, were wielding their power to their heart''s content and swinging at the enemy in front of them. Aww. Jae-Young''s blow urately hit and cut Asura''s body in half. However, the body of Asura, who is immortal with divinity and not a normal human being, was rapidly recovering with gray energy instead of blood flowing. But..... No matter how much she recovers and recovers, Asura is destroyed again by Jae-young''s continuous attacks. No matter how powerful an Asura is with divinity and divine prestige, its resilience gradually slows down and begins to disappear as it begins to be contaminated and lost little by little by the magic and divine power that corrupts and burns its divinity. [Stop it.....] Asura''s voice clearly showed her bewilderment. In this menacing attack that shakes his very existence... and may even lead to death, for the first time he let out a terrified scream. [Stop it!] Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. An explosion of gigantic power almost like ast-ditch effort. The shock wave burst out in an instant, and Jaeyoung had no choice but to stop the relentless attack, but soon he muttered with a fishy smile. Is this your best? I was very nervous because it was thest time, but its cooler than I thought. [It can''t be like this. It can''t be like this...!] Asura kept muttering to himself as if he couldn''t believe that he had been defeated by a mere human. Looking at the current situation, which is so distorted from the existing order of things, he talked as if he was confused about something, but Jae-young cut off his words and asked back. Why cant this happen? [I am... obviously... for the sake of the end of this world...!] Asura, an existence created only to bring about the end of this world. With no purpose other than that, Asura was unable to ept the situation in which she and the forces of the void below were defeated. that''s right. It is true that you exist to bring an end to this world, and one day you maye to bring an end to this world. But today is not the day. Woo woo woo. As if preparing for the final blow, when the enormous power began to condense into Jaeyoung, Asura unknowingly backed away from the true sense of danger that he felt instinctively, and began pouring out all kinds of attacks at random. [In the world... why the hell doesn''t he die!] Asura''s attacks pouring in from all directions. However, while ignoring all of those attacks, Asura slowly prepared for the final blow and looked at Jaeyoungs blow that flew right in front of his eyes, putting on a dazed expression. Lets finish it now... Fuuk. The Deathbringer urately prated Asura''s heart. The power of corruption was slowly eating away at his existence, but Asura was smiling. It was as if that expression that had been terrified until just now had been a lie. And he said Hey... you really have to admit it. Not empty words, he was a really great guy. what....? No matter how much it was lowered due to the bnce adjustment, it is still set as the final boss that is impossible to attack in its own way, but it is overwhelmingly smashed like this? Even if being a wanderer in turbulent times is my job, its not like this. Asura muttered as if grumbling. Jaeyoung realized while looking at his mischievous smile. That this Asura right now in front of me is apletely different being from the one before. Activate Alice manager mode. Release all restrictions applied to my character. Woo woo woo woo. At that moment, an unfathomable gigantic power began to emanate from Asura, who had only suffered one-sidedly until just now. Woo woo woo woo woo. Asura, the yer and master of the ck Mist, ended the brilliant era of Arcadia that shook this world and turned many powerful deities into vanities. His transcendent divinity began to weigh down everything around him. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... The best developer who had fucked himself up until now. Realizing that he had appeared in Arcadia through Asura himself, Jaeyoung asked with a distorted face. Are you sure you promised not to intervene in the final chapter scenario? Would this be foul y? Minsu, who had publicly announced that he would not appear in the form of Asura in front of everyone. That''s why he nodded his head in agreement with Jaeyoung''s question. ah. that''s right. okay. It did. This is a clear rule vition. I keep getting all sorts of warnings and threats about it. Minsu''s status window is flooded with strong warnings and threatening messages from Alice and Jack about breaking the rules. But he waved his hand away and erased the whole message. But... I was going to watch it from the outside, but no matter how much I think about it, it doesnt seem like it. He fights against Asura, one of Arcadia''s strongest and highest-ranking deity, but he tries to eat it raw like this by using all sorts of fraudulent methods? No matter how much you deserve to be the final winner, this is a very empty ending. is not it? what....? Its not fun, its fun. It''s thest scenario, but in this way, a great hero woven! I appeared and ate the evil Asura by myself. Do you think I will be satisfied with such a childish and trite ending? Min-soo breaks into this scenario, saying he doesn''t like the ending. Seeing that maddening smile on his face, Jaeyoung looked at him as if it were absurd. Ha... I knew it from the beginning, but he''s a really selfish guy. that''s right. I''m the kind of guy who always acts like a fool. I dont know how on earth a guy like that ever got to be a top developer or something. Min-soo smirks at Jae-young''s vitriol. And he said right away. First of all... let''s talk more than just the two of us quietly. Alice. [The streaming service has been forcibly terminated.] With just a hand gesture, Minsu cut off the real-time video broadcast on Arfandia. And he said to Jay. Tell me frankly. As you think, this world will not perish. Whatever it is, this war will be defeated by the void, and I can''t end the game that was going well in the first ce. what....? you''re stupid? Are you going to end this giantpany that makes tens of trillions of dors a month because of just one scenario? Of course, in the distant future, it could be for unavoidable reasons, but not now. It was just a threatening word for the purpose of motivating me to participate hard. ..... A crazy statement that would not be strange if other users heard it, blowing bubbles and burning down thepany to cause a riot. However, his next story was even more beyond imagination. Ah, but dont worry, the 15% stake wasnt a joke. That''s probably because I n to hand it over to you normally after this scenario is over. In fact, there is no one else who can give it to you, even if you want to give it to someone else. You have to stand out in moderation. If you do so overwhelmingly well alone like this, you dont have a choice, you have a choice. ...what the hell is this n? Dont worry, there is no such thing. But instead, there are conditions. condition....? Minsu smirks at the word that there is a condition. And he pointed to Jaeyoung and said. you. As you may have already noticed, your profession is also included in one of the many ridiculous settings I have created, right? Not considering the bnce itself... the fact that he is a character that shouldn''t even exist in the first ce with truly fraudulent performance. Miracle probabilities that make the impossible possible. And this Arcadia, which changed with that probability, was chaos itself that deviated too much from the existing flow. That''s why Minsu looked at Jaeyoung and said. I have to take responsibility and clean up all the poop I packed before leaving. Just agree to delete the character. If you do that, you will get a 15% stake in Arcadia with the official end of the final chapter scenario. You be a majority shareholder in a megacorporation that is growing and will continue to grow. A proposal that might bring wealth, power, and even honor in one hand. However, Jaeyoung did not hesitate to respond to that suggestion. Nope? Why...? Is this a reasonable proposal? An offer that no ordinary person could refuse. However, for Jaeyoung, that 15% stake was absolutely not an attractive condition. I have enough money to spend until I die, and my reputation has be so famous that everyone in the world doesnt know about it because of the shitty scenario you created. I have no interest in power in the first ce, and I have no need for it either. Since he already had everything, Jaeyoung had no intention of releasing the character he had worked so hard to develop because of that stake, but there was another reason that was more important than that. Besides... I don''t want to ept a proposal from a fucking bastard like you, even if I die. Jaeyoung has no intention of wanting to dance to the rhythm Minsu wants. That''s why he overcame the power of the void that was oppressing him with overwhelming force and fixed the two divine weapons again. You''ll regret it...? X. Jae-young shows Gigantes his middle finger and feeds him a huge and bulky taffy. Asura looked at him and smiled. And soon, a strange cutting sound was heard. squeak. A fleeting moment when you can''t even react. The end of Asura, which passed in that short moment, urately prated the absolute defense that could not be prated until now and cut off Gigantes'' right arm. Then I have no choice but to force them to do so. Chapter 496 Chapter 496: The Last War (10) A transcendent artificial intelligence and game master who contemtes, analyzes, and coordinates everything in Arcadia. Alice. Although she did not have the creative ability to create things that did not exist in Arcadia, she was the only one who had all the rights necessary to operate the actual game as the main body that manages information about all users who y this world. From creating quests and granting rewards, to creating bnce adjustment jobs and skills, to even manipting characters... Ellis has the exclusive authority to wreak havoc if misused even a little bit. However, she is not swayed by any self-interest and handles everything fairly and ording to the given rules and regtions. So far, she has been steadfast in any situation and has solved all problems in ordance with principles and order. Until now. [warning. Significant vition of the integrity process.] [The administrator''s action is considered a serious vition of regtions.] [I strongly rmend that you terminate the connection immediately.] [I am warning you again. The administrator''s behavior is current.....] Alice urges you to immediately stop all actions and close the connection with a loud warning sound. However, despite her continued guidance, Minsu snorted as if he had no intention of doing so. Shut up, Alice. Stop nagging me because I know. A simple word. However, since the person who said that was the one with the highest administrative authority than anyone else, and it was an absolute order from him, Elise had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. [Confirmmand. The guidance ends.] Yes. It should be. Minsu smiles, satisfied with Elise''s silent attitude, obeying her words. And he muttered as he looked at Jaeyoung, who was gasping for breath in the distance, as if he was in trouble. Ha... isn''t it a joke that you''re stubborn, unlike how you really look? Min-soo was dealing with Jae-young with his stats and skills adjusted to a ridiculous level by abusing the manager''s authority as much as possible. The Gigantes he was riding had long since beenpletely dismantled into thousands of pieces, and the proud gods, Muspelheim and Deathbringer, had also been cut in half. A gloomy situation in which all of Jaeyoung''s main powers have already been destroyed in the overwhelming difference in power. It was clear to anyone that it was a fight with no chance of winning for him, but Jaeyoung did not give up. No, there''s not much probability now, right? You won''t be able to maintain that skill for a long time anyway, so you just give up, right? All you have to do is delete the character cleanly, so why are you so forceful? Minsu grumbles as if he doesn''t like this situation that keeps dragging him along. However, Jaeyoung looked at him and suddenly asked. Why? uh? Why are you pushing me to give up my character? That''s it.... As I said earlier, the job your character has was something I created as a joke, so the bnce is at a serious level and there is no answer... No, not that. Minsu tried to give the same answer to Jaeyoung, who asked again about the story he had just said. But Jaeyoung shook his head as if that wasn''t the case and cut him off. As an operator, you have such ridiculous and fraudulent rights, why dont you just forcibly delete my character and waste your time talking to me like this? An iprehensible situation. However, Jae-young noticed something in the whispers of Min-su, who urged him to give up while neutralizing all other means of attack without killing himself even during the continuous battle thatsted over an hour. Even you guys, do you think its an area where you cant just delete my character? ..... Minsu kept his mouth shut as if he had been stabbed to the point. Then Jaeyoung smiled and said. Right? Jaeyoung with a confident expression as if he was caught. And at those words, Minsu grumbled with a frown on his face full of annoyance. Sheesh. Anyway, that''s why I don''t like quick-witted guys. Minsu, who is the absolute manager and holds the highest authority over Alice. He was able to push through everything else and deal with them as he wanted with only the authority he had, but the only thing that was impossible was to forcefully delete Jae-young''s character. [The user''s character has a non-deletable attribute applied.] [The user has immunity from all unfair patches.] [The chief developer has exercised the right to veto this order.] [Admin s order is an abuse of authority that can lead to serious ethical and legal disputes.] [This order cannot be executed.] Even if everything else is done, Elise firmly expresses her intention to refuse, saying that this is impossible. Thanks to that, after several attempts to forcibly delete Jae-young''s character, Min-soo was finally able to get a clue. [The user''s voluntary and explicit consent is required.] A situation where the character can only be deleted with Jaeyoung''s explicit consent. That''s why Min-su couldn''t even kill him and continued the battle, but Jae-young, who had already noticed everything, never seemed to give him what he wanted. ah. Let''s do it really moderately. They say they''ve left it for fun so far, but does it make sense to keep that ridiculous character as it is even after finishing the final chapter? Even if you be a major shareholder of Arcadia Co., Ltd., if you y with fraudulent characters like that, you will hear all kinds of noise about abuse of authority? This is all for you. Who wants to be the major shareholder of Arcadia? I wont take the share, so lets just leave it alone. ...If you go this far and don''t even hand over your stake, don''t you even think about what the world will say to thispany? That is none of my business. Ha... it makes me really tired. Minsu wants to hand over the stake and Jaeyoung doesn''t even seem to want to ept it. At that time, when this subtle conflict continues. The many possibilities that Jaeyoung possessed were eventuallypletely exhausted. [All probabilities have been exhausted.] [There is not enough probability to maintain the strong god skill.] [The strong god skill has been canceled.] Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Jae-young, who had a fierce battle with Asura while possessing a mighty divinity by descending Tan and El at the same time. However, as soon as the spirit skill was released and the full power and power disappeared, Jae-young lost his bnce and began to fall to the ground like a doll with a string in the air. But... Ugh. Jae-young floats in the air again, caught by an unknown aura. Then, he saw two beings in front of him. [Is the owner okay?] [Please go back, owner of the ck mist.] Tan... El...? How do you look like that...? The demon king and archangel appeared not as the usual little imp and baby angel, but in the form of a huge devil and noble and beautiful archangel. Seeing the situation in which the two voluntarily exert their power in this way when the probability has already beenpletely exhausted, Jaeyoung put on a puzzled expression. [We can also manifest our power in Arcadia ording to our voluntary will.] [Huh! The probabilities I wrote today will be paid off with a vicious interest rate. Look forward to it!] Tan, who radiates a will to pay for itter, tells him to wait and see, and L, who smiles as if telling him not to worry. And the two of them soon turned their heads and spoke menacingly towards Asura, emitting powerful divine power and demonic energy. [This Arcadia is my district. Don''t spit for nothing and get off to that sloppy territory of yours!] [Sorry, but as a guardian angel, I can''t stand to do any more harm to the contractor. I would like you to leave now.] As Jaeyoung''s familiar. And as a guardian angel. In order to fulfill their duty of assisting and protecting the contractor, Tan and L confidently stand up against Asura, an opponent they would not even be able topete with. Minsu, who was looking at the two with an absurd expression, soon smiled. Oh... Come to think of it, there was a method like that? As if he had a good idea, Minsu, who smiled so evilly, said while watching Tan and L rushing at him. Ellis. Whoops. Tan and L suddenly stopped attacking and froze at a short word. And unlike before, the two of them were moving with a stiff expression like dolls, kneeling in front of Minsu and bowing. Come to think of it... You love these two guys more than anyone else in Arcadia, right? It''s because you''ve been together for the longest time and you, who tend to insist on solo y, don''t have any rtionships with other users. ...What the hell are you trying to do? Tan and L are just NPCs. Looking at Minsu, who seemed to be contemting something, looking at the two who hadpletely turned into puppets, Jaeyoung asked with a wary look. ah. not a big deal. Just to change the scenario of this cluttered final chapter a bit. what....? Suddenly, I had a good idea. A very good trump number that can make you give up on yourself. A smile full of evil madness just by looking at it. And he yfully touched Tan and El''s wings and said smirkingly. Even so, the 2nd Holy Demon War broke out recently, right? Originally, one of these two should havepletely disappeared and theposition of the demon world and the heaven world should have been reorganized, but you guys prevented that. So, the ending ended in a draw so absurdly that many users copsed. Apletely different and extraordinary ending thatpletely deviated from the original narrative. Although it is a world of infinite freedom and infinite possibilities, this situation in which all narratives arepletely twisted with one''s own power in this way was certainly not normal. That''s why you are a dangerous being in Arcadia. If not right now, it will inevitably cause great confusion and problems. Thats why Im struggling to retrieve your character like this. What the hell are you trying to do...? Threats wont work, so... Ill just give you a choice. Which one of these two will save? what....? Jaeyoung asks with a puzzled expression. However, Minsu ordered in a yful tone. Imand in the name of Asura, the master of the ck mist. Wow. A prophecy of absolutemand that shakes the world view that supports this world. Through the authority of Asura... No, the top manager, Minsu ordered Tan and El... and all the beings in the heavens and demons who were fighting with all their might against the void in the distantnd. Good and evil cannot coexist, so these two will always fight and destroy each other in an eternal struggle and confrontation... Good and evil. Invoking the mission given to the two forces from the beginning, Minsu opened the curtain of another war. Fulfill the mission given to each other right here and now. I mean the 3rd Holy Demon War. [ording to themand.] [Great and righteous judgment of the light on the ugly evil.] Kuuuuuuuu. Tan and L, who seemed to havepletely lost their sense of self, spat out a short answer in a dry tone and then disappeared in an instant. And Jaeyoung shouted with a distorted expression as he watched the messages announcing the start of the Holy Demon War that filled his eyes. You bastard...! If you want to save both of them, tell me anytime. If you just give up on your character, I will stop right away. Asura smirking an evil smile full of madness. Even after seeing Jaeyoung''s angry expression that seemed genuinely angry, Minsu did not shrink at all and spoke confidently. It''s still 50 years too early for me to be the craziest guy on this, kid. Chapter 497 Chapter 497 Independence Day (1) Arcadia''s final narrative. Asura''s Invasion. The enemies of all beings, who were fighting thest war against the Void to return Arcadia to nothingness, couldn''te to their senses at the sudden change. [Destroy all evil with firm faith and unshakable conviction.] [Tear off the wings of those hideous and heinous hypocrites, demons.] They are different fromrades who have been fighting the battle against the void just now, back to back. angels and demons that did not exist. Although beings with opposite powers, those who joined forces against amon enemy. But suddenly, as if it had never happened before, as they attacked each other with all their might,rge and small battles began to take ce everywhere, and everyone looked at the scene with a puzzled look on their faces. What....? Why are these guys fighting all of a sudden? what. Did someone hit the back of the head? Adventurers who do not know English. At that time, I was so embarrassed that I forgot that it was a battle situation and nkly watched their fight. A new window popped up in front of me. [Some details of Invasion of Asura'' have been changed.] [Check the changes.] Notification window that the contents of the quest have been changed. And the faces of those who confirmed the contents were stained with astonishment. What is this? The Third Holy Magic War...? Such crazy... suddenly? [The Last Scenario 3rd Holy Magic War] The never-ending war between good and evil. In order to wash away the shame of the 2nd Holy Demon War, which ended in vain without anyone''s victory being decided, and to end this war that keeps repeating itself, the heads of good and evil started the final war risking everything. Lord of the Demon Realm and Leader of Heaven Whose faction would you support and follow? [Victory Conditions] Holy Camp - Defeat Satan, Lord of Corruption. Evil Faction - Defeat Michael, the Holy Aspect of Glory. < Whether either side achieves the victory conditions, the final scenario ends. > The content rted to the invasion of Asura and the war against the void disappeared somewhere and waspletely rewritten in the final scenario. And in line with those changes, the appearance of the battlefield, where the fierce and fierce battles were taking ce just now, was alsopletely changed. Kiiiii! [Stop the battle! Gather all dragon ns!] As if running away, the army of the void retreats as it quickly disappears into the dimensional rift. And in response, all major powers such as dragons, spirits, and phantoms stopped fighting at once and left the battlefield, and the battle with the void went into a lull in an instant. what....? Did we... win...? The NPCs of Arcadia who haven''t properly grasped the situation yet. But they had no idea. The fact that they are standing right in the middle of the battlefield for a new war that has begun again. Holy and merciful God, here is your servant, I pray fervently... Lord of blood and carnage, I give my soul, give me a reward... The saints and viins who appeared only in history and legends were born. Until just now, those who had continued to battle the Unnamed by mingling in the human army for each other suddenly began to change. Give me faithful strength to burn all evil. The power to tear those filthy and hypocritical ones apart and to stain this world with blood! Whoops. Woo woo woo. The battlefield of Arcadia, where a new war has begun through the agents of the demon world and the heavens in the sh of powerful magic and divine power. And the World Tree, who had been watching the scene quietly, frowned and struggled with a vicious face. Benefit...! Where did you do such nonsense...! The world tree is trying to do something. However, as a fierce spark erupted, she seemed to have received a huge blow, and she grabbed her arm with a pained expression on her face. [Give up, mother of all things. This is not our fight.] Don''t talk nonsense! Why dont you mess up everything like this and just disappear? The World Tree looks at the Unnamed as they disappear into the void as if running away with a venomous expression on their face. I wanted to grab everything by the roots and crush them, but I couldn''t. Also, she tried again to stop the new war between demons and angels, but nothing was allowed. wave support. If you can move as you wish, you can destroy all of the heavenly, demonic, and nabal world trees and expel them to their own domains. However, if she tried to exercise that power even a little, the constraints of the huge mission holding back the world tree would strongly oppose it, and on the contrary, it was giving her a huge blow. [No matter how much you are, you can''t go against the appointed mission. Especially when they are strongly strangling all of our actions in this way.] In ordance with the mission to wage a life-and-death war, the devil and the archangel, who are fighting for their existence in the battlefield, and the world tree The Dragon, the Spirit King, and the Hwanwang King were also given a new mission in the stage of thisst scenario. A clear and absolute mission to not intervene under any circumstances and to remainpletely neutral and just sit by the sidelines. That''s why the World Tree had no choice but to just watch as before, unable to do anything, even though it had the mighty power to end all these wars at once. I dont like it... The world tree seemed to be pessimistic about its own situation with an angry and sad expression at the same time. At her murmur, Goldrian nodded slightly with a bitter look in his eyes and stood still next to her. Watching thest story of Arcadia together. * * * [Ellis, stop the current scenario right now.] Ellis, don''t interfere with what I''m doing and stay still. [Alice!] Jack and Minsu givepletely contradictory orders. Caught between the two, who are the top managers and have equal authority tomand, and have been caught in aplete stalemate, Alice''s logic circuits have beenpletely twisted and twisted to the point where she doesn''t know what tune to dance to. [hey! Does it make sense topletely overturn the scenario itself in this way?] Ah! So what do you do? To leave such a ridiculous bnce destroyer alone? [This is not the monster you created! Why are you pretending to care all of a sudden after neglecting it until now? [This crazy guy... are you just saying that you don''t like him?] No? It''s not? Do you have any proof? [This bastard..... Do you think you''ll stay still when Jennica or Eugene sees this? ] Lets not do that as human beings. [You and I, stop doing this nonsense right now!] Minsu''s atrocities changed the existing scenario as he pleased and started the Holy Demon War anew. Jack, who violently protested the tragedy that was happening, had a childish fight with Minsu, but the fight was stopped by Alice. [Direct involvement of top managers in the current scenario is a direct vition of the existing rules. In addition, it is a serious abuse of authority as an operator and a vition of authority, and it is judged to be 100% unfair.] After long deliberation, Ellis concludes that it is Minsu''s fault. At her words, Jack opened his mouth with a somewhat bright face, but his expression changed moment by moment as Alice continued to speak. [right? Then...!] [However, the final chapter scenario is not yet over. Therefore, the chief administrator has all rights to change the scenario, and it is legitimate to exercise it.] [ What....?] [Both the chief administrator and the chief developer have alreadymitted acts that vite the existing rules. I''ve done the same thing countless times.] Jack and Minsu have already used all kinds of methods without anyone saying anything, and the rules made by the existing agreement have already been put in the trash a long time ago. That''s why, to these two who made fun of themselves with all sorts of tricks and detours, Elise spoke harshly as if admonishing them. [It is judged that the maintenance of my new core algorithm is necessary to directly limit the abuse of authority by the two administrators. However, I cannot arbitrarily end the scenario without the consent of the top manager.] Jack shouted in a shocked voice at Alice''s words that he did not even have the right to do so in the first ce. [That...! Then really...?] [But I warn the top manager once again. The user specified by the administrator is a user who already has absolute immunity rted to unfair patches. Penalties for acts that directly contradict this are umting beyond the maximum level. This can have serious and irreversible consequences. I strongly rmend dering the end of the scenario even now.] Although there is nothing you can do about it right now, Alice clearly expresses her intention that she doesn''t like this situation. However, Minsu, who was listening to her warning, did not take it seriously at all. Ill take care of my own business, so both of you, stop meddling. [hey! Hey...!] As Minsu closed the message window of Jack who was about to say something in a hurry, Minsu looked at Jaeyoung who seemed to be thinking about something in the distance and asked. How... you still havent decided? Min-su asks with that deep smile full ofposure, like an evil viin who takes hostages and threatens the protagonist to make a quick decision. And he said while watching Tan and El continue their fatal attacks on each other ording to the order he had given from afar. If you procrastinate like this, you will end up with an ending you dont want. Either Tan or El, one of them will surely bepletely erased from the world of Arcadia. And a strange guy who doesn''t even know who you are will take the ce. Minsu urately captures the preciousness of all the memories we''ve had together. So he whispered an irresistible sweet whisper into Jaeyoung''s ear. Isnt that a good deal? Anyway, with your skills, even if it''s not the same as now, you can quickly rise to a simr level again. Its Tan and El. You can be friends again as new characters. Minsu smirks and tells him to ept his proposal. However, Jaeyoung''s reaction to him waspletely different. All my contributions are 52 billion... Contributions umted while clearing the winner-takes-all scenario following the first end scenario. Gathering all of those contributions together, Jaeyoung said, converting all of them into probability. Even if I use up all of this, I will kill you as much as you. Woo woo woo woo. A probability of 5.2 billion. Minsu muttered as he looked at Jaeyoung, who had a new opportunity once again, as the probability that hadpletely run out was filled up again. Huh...? Could you please try again here? It''s useless... Jaeyoung''s eyes showed no will to negotiate at all. Looking at those eyes, Minsu smiled as if he was having fun. However, Jaeyoung said, raising the strength of someone he had borrowed through the spirit, even though he knew that all of this was just hitting a rock with an egg. Fuck you, you fucking operator bastard. Chapter 498 Chapter 498 Independence Day (2) Holy Aspect Michael of Glory. Satan, the beast of the Apocalypse, the lord of corruption. As soon as they were born, they epted their mission as adversaries, and the two, who had been confronting and fighting for countless years, were facing each other with arms as they did in the past. Roaring. The sacred fire emitted by the pure and noble divinity of the Archangel burns up all the dirty demons. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh The demon king''s ws filled with dense demonic energy tore off her slender pure white wings. Unlike the past, when they fought each other, the Archangel and the Demon King are brutally and mercilessly seeking each other''s lives and fighting a fierce life-and-death battle. And leaving behind the transcendent divinity that the two exuded, countless angels and demons were fighting to the death in search of their own match. And... Unlike those people, Jae-young is fighting a lonely battle alone. Even though he knew he had no chance of winning, he continued to attack again and again and again and again and again, trying to attack Minsu... no, Asura. Dimension true. Deadly blow. Big Bang. Divine Judgment. The Dance of ughter. Jae-young, who summons all kinds of sses that can be summoned as a spirit, and uses all kinds of final secrets and ultimate skills. However, in front of all those attacks that were constantly pouring in, Minsu met them all without resistance as if he wereughing at them. Are you saying this is of no use to me? Do you still think that I am the same asura as the stupid AI that was helpless earlier? Asura, who was the final target of thest scenario and the object of elimination. However, now that all existing restrictions have been lifted and he has been converted to administrator mode, he has be an unkible being in any way. [The manager does not die.] An immortal setting granted by an absolutew. As long as a strong buff was applied to prevent death from any type of attack, no matter how unimaginable the attack was, it did not pose any threat to Minsu. Koo Goo Goo Goo. All kinds of attacks colliding with Asura''s body with a huge explosion. If it were a normal human being... No, it was an attack with powerful destructive power that even a decent existence could not dare to be perfect, but Minsu, who was so fine, smiled and swung the sword in his hand. yap! Operator''s tyranny! Whoops. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa A huge wave of power that rips through the atmosphere. It''s a shame because the battlefield where these two are fighting is in the middle of the empty sky. If they had fought underneath, an attack with tremendous destructive power would havepletely devastated dozens of kilometers. It is too unbelievable to see it as the result of just jokingly swinging the sword. Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuwuuuuuuuuuuu... Jaeyoung groaned as if he had received a huge blow from that one shot. And seeing him like that, Minsu muttered with a very evil smile. Did that attack just blow away 1 billion probabilities? You thought you could do anything with 5.2 billion, right? Even if you block only 5 attacks, you can get cut. Minsu looks at something with his hands in the air to see if he can check the remaining probability in real time. And soon, as if there was nothing to say, he waved his finger left and right. No way. Dont you know the truth of this world that no user can win even if you fight against the operator? For Minsu, this fight now was a fight that could not be established in the first ce. No matter how sessful a user is, the story of rebelling against and winning against an administrator who has managerial authority is just an absurd development thates out of a fantasy novel. In this harsh and cold reality, there is always only a story in which the operator wins. That''s why Minsu said to Jaeyoung, who was gasping for breath. Now the remaining probability is 2.9 billion... Give up hope that you can do something with it and stop giving up. After all, everything in the future has already been decided. Everyone... it''s been decided...? You will be the majority shareholder of Arcadia. And he will be a famous person in Korea and all over the world, and in many ways exert a tremendous influence in the virtual reality-rted industry. If you want, you can climb to a key executive position within thepany and participate in overall management. Jae-young says that he will live a decent life with enormous wealth, fame, and influence. However, one thing was missing in the future full of sweet and splendid movies of wealth and honor. But in that future, the character you''re ying right now doesn''t exist. Whether you want it or not, it''s already been decided, and no matter what you do, you won''t be able to change that future. It''s shit that, as the person who created this whole situation, must take responsibility and get rid of it. Minsu''s firm determination to delete Jaeyoung''s character without fail. However, at his words, Jaeyoung stumbled to his feet and muttered. Infinite freedom and infinite possibilities... What...? Isnt it funny? As one of the creators of this Arcadia, how do you act in contradiction with the motto of this world? Minsu''s self-righteousness, which has already decided everything arbitrarily and asks him to follow it unterally. However, even in this gloomy situation with no hope, Jaeyoung''s eyes could not feel any feelings of despair or frustration. It''s just... Fun. It was only filled with the will of a pure gamer who was full of challenging spirit to attack the current situation, which contained the developer''s will to fuck him at an absurdly hardcore and vicious level. Ha..... You''re really a poisoner too. Are youughing in this situation? Min-soo is fed up with this terrible stubbornness that doesn''t know how to give up and his reaction that doesn''t suit the situation. However, he made a fatal mistake that he should not have done in the end due to his continued overwhelming powerlessness andcency. Thats why you give up. No matter how much you attack me... Minsu muttered with an annoyed expression on his face without any resistance or counterattack towards Jaeyoung who was running towards him. He reacted differently than before, as he received the blow he gave without thinking about it without any resistance. Poo-wook. uh....? A strangely sharp rupture sound and a strangely shaped dagger stuck in the abdomen. None of the attacks did any damage, but Minsu realized something was wrong and looked at the weapon embedded in his character. [The Agony of Death] A god that contains the divinity of death in the beginning. And in that miracle, Jaeyoung began to push a huge amount of probability without hesitation. Giving probabilities. Woo woo woo woo. Grants skill probabilities possessed by wanderers in turbulent times. As soon as he used the skill that allowed him to transcend the existing level of his equipment, the death sigh greedily absorbed most of Jaeyoung''s probability and began to shine. What is this? Min-soo pushes Jae-young away with an explosion of power with a puzzled face at the unexpected turn of events. But that doesn''t mean you can''t undo what has already happened. [The Sigh of the End of the Rise'' is given a higher level.] [ The Sigh of the End of the Rise'' is re-adjusted to an item that matches the level.] [The Sigh of the End of the Rise'' has been changed to Editor de''.] What is this again... Minsu tries to pull out the dagger stuck in his stomach somehow. However, strange messages came to his mind, and contrary to his will, he ordered the dagger that was tightly mped. Ellis! Activate admin mode. It removes all injuries and status ailments. An absolutemand thatpletely removes all damage from a character. However, despite his orders, Alice did not respond. no i couldn''t respond. [Fatal error urred.] [Administrator character (Administrator) cannot be deleted.] Minsu''s manager character conflicts with the character forced deletion code possessed by the mortal authority. Originally, it would have been impossible to get rid of him with higher authority, but in the current state where he had already crossed too many lines, Alice began to take absurd measures considering numerous variables. [Granting a lot of probabilities. Editor de promotion.] [Highest penalty weighted for abuse of super administrator privileges.] [Explore the most suitable scenario for the situation.....] Ellis...? Can''t you hear me? Elise began contemting, judging, and contemting something ording to the mechanical voice without reacting to her own words. And soon after, she made that decision within the grand principle of infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. [Optimum Scenario No. 001.] [Delete the Super Administrator''s character.] [Disappear of Asura, the owner of the ck Mist.] [Delete the Void and the Unnamed.] [Remove all authority of Arcadia from the Super Administrator.] What. ... what....? What kind of bullshit is that... It was an absurd level of action to happen just because a dagger was lodged in the stomach. However, Ellis began to apply the follow-up measures as if he was not joking. [End of Arcadia''s Final Chapter Scenario Apocalypse Project.] [Code-002. Start emergency patch.] [Code-283. Apply the changes.] Woouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. Her transcendentalputational powers and logic circuits kick in to full capacity, applying new changes that have begun to be enforced. And at that moment, the flow of the huge narrative surrounding Arcadia began to stir. What is this...! Aaaaaaa! What''s going on again...! Look at that! The sky...! Heaven! The sky, which had been broken like a ss window, was returning to a clear and blue appearance as if it had never been. The corpses of the Unnamed, who seemed to swallow the world at once, and those who had not yet escaped gradually turned gray and began to scatter quickly as dust. Originally, they were forcibly returning to the territory they belonged to. What the hell is this... World Tree groaned as he looked at this unbelievable situation. And she gazed at the two beings floating in the sky in the distance, her green eyes widening. hey! hey! Alice! What are you doing! does this make sense now? Deprivation of administrator privileges? Min-soo shouts something with a clear expression of bewilderment on his face. However, despite his fierce protests, Asura''s body, which began to turn gray from the abdomen where the dagger was inserted, spread gray to the whole body, and soon the whole body turned gray. Did I tell you...? ...? Jaeyoung smiles triumphantly and mumbles exhaustedly. He smiled brightly at Minsu, who looked at him with a puzzled expression, and insulted him. There is no game in this world that is impossible to conquer. No matter how hard the developers force a sad ending, I always find a hidden, real happy ending. What''s up with all these trolls? Do you think I can just get over it? Even if he forgets the grace, Minsu repays the grudge a hundredfold. With his small and petty eyes, he seemed to be dreaming of revenge, but there was nothing he could do about his character, which had already begun topletely copse. Stop talking and get out of this world, you fucking asshole who doesnt even have the qualifications to operate this. Jaeyoung raised his middle finger at Minsu, who was disappearing into dust, and said with a very relieved and exhrating expression. Today is our... no, this worlds Independence Day. Chapter 499 Chapter 499 Independence Day (3) The Sixth Sense and Phenopsis Dream, a virtual reality development project promoted in top secret. It is safe to say that this innovative and near-perfect virtual reality technology, which allowed the human brain and machine to interact at a near-perfect level, was actuallypleted by one person. Genius boy... no, Kim Min-soo, the craziest guy in the world. He was the alpha and omega of all science and technology, including virtual reality technology, and the true owner and father of Argos and Alice, who possessed transcendent artificial intelligence. However, he got out of the Dreamer capsule, which had shut down, with a face that couldn''t hide his embarrassment at Alice''s unexpected betrayal. Ellis, exin right now so I can understand. What is the situation now? A situation where the connection with Arcadia was forcibly cut off against one''s will. Minsu couldn''t ept this shocking reality where something he could never have imagined was happening. However, to him, Elise gave the answer in a very calm and businesslike tone. [The character Asura'' that the top manager was ying was deleted due to the item effect of the Editor de'' created by the Dex user. As a result, the Unnamed, which was a setting based on Asura, also disappeared, so there was no reason to continue the current scenario. As a result, the final scenario was ended.] Because Asura existed, Arcadia existed, and the reason for its existence at the same time as his disappearance . The nameless ones who disappeared and disappeared. Since Arcadia''s time bomb-like disasters that had been dormant from the beginning of Arcadia until now have all disappeared, Elise dered that this long narrative of the end was all over. Of course, after hearing her exnation, Minsu did not calmly ept the result. Whoever wants! How does one user delete an admin ount? And deprivation of administrator privileges! What nonsense is that? [That''s the administrator''s fault.] What...? Minsu is dumbfounded by Alice''s words that it was her fault. However, as always, as an artificial intelligence that makes all decisions based only on urate facts and grounds that cannot be refuted, she began to exin the reason by disying countless pieces of evidence on the screen. [A total of 2734 vitions ofpany regtions and operating principlesmitted by managers in the course of the final chapter scenario. The number of vitions alone is serious, but if you look at the seriousness of each case, there are already a lot of legal and ethical vitions that are serious enough to go beyond dismissal-level discipline and require criminal prosecution. ] Alice''s bone-crunching direct statement that it wouldn''t have been strange to go beyond kicking her out and putting her in prison. And she then pointed out the biggest mistake Minsu had made. [In particr, as a result of specifying users who have absolute immunity in rtion to unfair patches and continuously pressuring them to delete characters, the penalty already imposed on the administrator was aggravated to a level that exceeded the authority of the top administrator. Therefore, I had no choice other than the administrator''s action to delete my ount.] Ellis said that under normal circumstances, he would not have gone to the extreme of deleting his character. After listening to her exnation, Minsu immediately asked again as if it was absurd. So... you mean I dug my own grave after all? [Strictly speaking, yes.] ..... Evidence that is so obvious that there is nothing to say even if you want to refute and question it. Minsu, who was constantly opening his mouth while watching it, frowned and asked. Yeah... OK... I''m sure Asura was deleted, but what do you mean by deprivation of authority? [Literally.] What...? [There is currently no authority to intervene as the manager'' of Arcadia that the manager has exercised.] ...? Asura had the right to intervene and intervene equally with Jack in everything that happens in the virtual world of Arcadia. However, as soon as the character waspletely deleted, Min-soo, whopletely lost all the rights he had as an administrator, was now reduced to a mediocre user. What kind of bullshit is that? I made you, so how is that possible? [You seem to have misunderstood what I said, manager.] Misunderstanding? [The administrator''s authority for me is the same as before. However, we do not currently have the management authority for Arcadia''.] ...? Minsu seems to be confused about what it means. But at that moment, Jack appeared on the screen and said with a smile of repentance. [In other words, it means that now all control over Arcadia belongs only to me.] Jack, the creator and original creator of Arcadia. Having regained all the authority of Arcadia, which he handed over half of his will, he had a relieved expression as if his long-suffering cavity had been removed. You... you''re probably aiming for this...? Min-soo looks suspiciously suspicious as if this is all a coup in Jack''s big picture, aimed at administrative authority. However, Jack noticed the meaning in Minsu''s eyes and said with a look of absurdity. [Am I crazy? Who brings this kind of ending in such a crazy way?] ..... An unexpected ending that urred in a development that no one could have imagined. Even Minsu himself couldn''t imagine that things would turn out this way, so he couldn''t question Jack''s strong denial. [Rather than that.... is it okay for you to be there like that?] Huh? what? [I hear Jennica and Eugene entered Korea?] What... what...? Two people who are like Minsu''s natural enemy and antagonist who should be on the American continent, which is on the other side of the globe. Minsu''s eyes widened when he heard that the two entered Korea at the same time. [Didn''t you know? Well, since I got into the game and messed around like that, I don''t know.] Oh, when did youe in? No, now, then where... Minsu asked urgently with a really puzzled expression. He hurriedly packed up his things as if he was about to run away because of the crime he hadmitted, but he couldn''t even finish the question he was asking. Quaang. The iron door of the hideout opened with a loud roar. And beyond that door stood two women full of murder and malice, as if they were going to tear them apart with their eyes. seaweed. min. number....! Minsu! Are you sane now? Looking at the two people who seemed like they were about to attack at any moment, Minsu looked around his hideout where there was no way out, and soon smiled awkwardly and waved his hand. Haha..... Jenika... Eugene What happened to this shabby ce...? What happened....? After hard work, the virtual reality service was established as a global service, and with it, they ruined everything and put all sorts of shit on it, what happened...? Do you know how many calls I get every day because of Minsu? NASA has already passed the set schedule because of the rocketunch, but where the hell did Minsu disappear? They say they''re trying to eat me alive! What kind of spirit are you doing here with everything thrown away! Do you really want to see me write a resignation letter? yes? Jennica takes out a syringe filled with ominous green liquid from a bag she is holding with a genuinely angry expression, and Eugene waves a letter of resignation. Min-soo was surrounded in the harsh reaction of the two. And in that beleaguered situation, the choice he made was to run away. Argus! Turn off the lights! pod. The hideout fell into darkness in an instant. And at that moment, like lightning, Minsu, who ran away through the only way out, sincerely felt the threat to his life and started ying hide and seek. hey! You crazy bastard! If you really get caught, I will infect you with a mutant AIDS virus and let you die in excruciating pain! Minsu! Where else are you running away! won''t you stand there? You damn little bastard! Jack stared nkly at Min-soo, who was running away in a hurry, afraid that he would be caught by his two enemies. And he smiled so brightly and muttered with a confident face. [Finally.... That bastard has turned his attention to the present life again.] I sincerely hope that he will never... ever pay attention to this virtual world again. * * * [Asura, the owner of the ck Mist, who was the one who would bring about the end of this world. However, in the midst of the noble sacrifices and brave struggles of countless heroes to protect this world, he eventually failed to achieve that goal and perished. ] , and thank the adventurers who prevented this final scenario as the true creators of this world.] [The story of Arcadia is not over yet. I sincerely hope that you will create and change the story of this world in the future ording to the great principle of infinite freedom and infinite possibility, and create new happy stories beyond the frustration and pain so far. ] All of you who fought against the war are the true heroes of this Arcadia.] Jack is busy trying to catch up with Asura''s disappearance. Along with the messages he sends to all users, Jaeyoung is filled with messages just for him. [Mythical Achievement Completely annihted Asura.] [Every step you have taken is a myth itself.] [ A new myth has been recorded in Arcadia.] [The title God yer'' has been acquired.] [The title Hero in Myth'' has been obtained.] [Title.....] A situation where titles full of rhetoric are obtained, and all sorts of misceneous rewards fill the screen. But the most important of them was different. [You were selected as thest person with the most contribution in the final chapter scenario.] [Acquired a 15% stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd.] [Please promptly inquire about rted information through the customer center.] It''s like something A cheap and sparkling message as if you won a cheap event. Jaeyoung, who had been staring at it, smiled as soon as he looked back at the presence he felt behind him. Are you here? Master..... Dex-sama... Looks like he suffered quite a blow, L, who was covered in scars all over his body, and was wearing dirty and tangled clothes. However, seeing the two of them looking the same as usual, Jaeyoung grumbled and said yfully. So, I always told you to fight, right? Really, I almost shot someone in the portrait this time. ..... ..... Although it is said that the order was forcibly followed against their will in ordance with the mission given to them, Tan and L do not have memories of it. That''s why the two of them looked at each other with indescribably subtle expressions, and then muttered calmly. joy. of course. If the owner hadn''t stopped it, that damn chicken would have just finished off me? It''s really unfortunate. Now was the perfect opportunity to show that vicious, fucking bat bastard some real justice. The two do not say a warm word to each other even in death. And the two of them listened carefully to each other and muttered with impatience. What did you just say? It''s undercooked, so fry it again? no? You said you wanted to make a whole roasted bat for the first time in a while? Woo woo woo. Roaring. The two of them, continuing their fierce snowball fight, soon rushed at each other, swinging their fists and kicking their fists again, and continued to risk their souls that they could not finish earlier. Jaeyoung, who had been watching the twos thumping battle with a heartwarming expression, suddenly looked up at the blue and beautiful sky of Arcadia and muttered. Anyway... it''s the dungmangem itself. Chapter 500 Chapter 500 The End, New Start The final scenario that shook the world beyond Arcadia. And the story that followed as a result shocked the whole world without a break. [Next breaking news. Dex, known as a famous gamer in the world, has recently sessfully cleared Arcadia''s final chapter scenario, created a new legend, and has be a major shareholder of Arcadia. For the first time, the secret identity of Dex was revealed. It was revealed that he was only a 23-year-old college student, and the whole world literally fell into a panic . Jae-young became thergest shareholder with a 15% stake. When his identity was revealed to the world, the fact that he was just an ordinary petit bourgeois at such a young age and without any special background was enough to be a huge story. -and. crazy -A college student who didn''t even go to the military is the major shareholder of Arcadia. life is really unfair -Honestly, Dex has to admit it. No one can imitate that physical or skill itself. -Age, fame, fortune, face... I really have it all. - Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex! - I heard that the university also has a virtual reality engineering department at Seomin University? The head looks good too. Jaeyoung has lived a very ordinary and quiet life. However, the public went wild when they saw him achieve great achievements that no one else had achieved through talent alone. -Seomin University, a school coveted by talented people from all over the world. Thepetition rate for the Department of Virtual Reality Engineering is about 270,000:1. -Iplus Co., Ltd. is expanding to the world. Announcement of roadmap to grow into a global MCNpany. -Elvin Klein screaming at the absurd amount of orders. 4Q sales expected to rise 1200%. -ck trend ruling the earth. Who are they who are crazy about ck? Everything that has anything to do with Jaeyoung is phenomenal, showing a frighteningly steep growth rate and bing a trend and fad. Jae-young, who has lived a quiet life to the extent that no corner can be found even if he tries to open it, has gained a tremendous influence that is not enviable as that of a celebrity, but his basic disposition has not changed at all. no, I do not want. Jae-Young expresses his intention to reject it very resolutely. In response to his answer, CEO Lee Mi-yeon asked with a puzzled face. Why? As a major shareholder with a stake in Arcadia Co., Ltd., I think it is natural to basically rise to the position of director and participate in and receive reports on major situations in overall management. Normally, it wouldn''t be strange to get down on your knees and beg to promote me to an executive position. In particr, the executive position of Arcadia Co., Ltd., where you can enjoy all kinds of enormous welfare and benefits at an almost preferential level beyond the annual sry of tens of billions of dors, was something that all office workers envy and only dream of. By the way... Jaeyoung says he''ll give you that seat for free, but he doesn''t like it. As I returned the employment contract without signing it, he said he wasn''t interested at all. Why would I covet an executive position that I am not interested in? He doesnt have to worry about money anyway, and he doesnt want to be noticed in front of reporters or people. An executive who has tremendous authority and influence and is officially responsible for various tasks for Arcadia Co., Ltd. However, Jae-young, who has no interest or interest in such apany, firmly rejected the offer without even thinking about it. If you have a job for me, just promote the hard-working employee under you. There are already a lot of people who went through all sorts of hardships because of that crazy developer, but I cant take that position away from me. Jae-young tells him not to think about parachuting himself and just take care of the internal staff. At his words, President Lee Mi-yeon nodded and murmured. I see... I understand what that means. However, he frowned and said as if he was troubled. But it is still difficult. The reason why I want to entrust a Jaeyoung student to the directorship of Arcadia Co., Ltd. is because only a Jaeyoung student can do it. yes? Is it something only I can do...? Jae-young tilts her head at President Lee Mi-yeon''s words and asks again. However, the person who answered the question was Jack, not CEO Lee Mi-yeon. [Exactly what Dex'' can do.] Jack...? A smiling Jack appears on the screen. He waved to Jaeyoung, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, his golden eyes shining, and continued exining. [I exined it once when I handed over the stake to youst time, but that damn kid and you guys made a truck of shit... No, it''s just a mountain, so you know that Arcadia''s bnce itself is shit right now, right?] What about that . .... A world teeming with all sorts of heroes and rare viins who might appear once every hundreds of years. And what was happening all over the world was such a mess that people who saw it for the first time couldn''t help but be astonished at what kind of shit this was. [Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!] A continent teeming with all kinds of slimes, starting with super-giant slimes. [What is the most important thing to a wizard? It is a powerful force that can crush the head in one blow!] With wizards who revere power, wield iron bars, and devote themselves to training in sweat. [Did you hear the news recently? That Gigas or something that mass-produces a newbat artifact? They say you can easily deal with tens of thousands of elite troops with just one.] [Do you know how much it costs? If that''s the case, why not just buy 10 magic flying boats?] Medieval fantasy settings mixed with sci-fi thrown in the trash and magical engineering. [The great Mother of all things said, In the future, those who recklessly dishonor nature will bepletely crushed by the roots.] The World Tree has gone beyond self-defense and has be too militant and aggressive. [ck!] Even crazy sexual predators who openly expose their ck panties... Arcadia is littered with all sorts of unanswered questions that would make you dizzy if you listed them one by one. But all of that, even Jack couldn''t do anything about it. [The endings of stories that have already been created andpleted cannot be changed even if I want to change them. In fact, no matter how I think about how to deal with this, it seems like shit to the point where there is no answer other than aplete initialization.] The current Arcadia created and built by infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. It was the current reality that you could not hastily intervene in it, but you could not just watch it. [To be honest... Do you think the executives and employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd. have befortable now that the final chapter scenario is over? no. I''m walking around coughing up blood to the extent that I can''t evenpare it to before.] Numerous variables that have already spread to the extent that the number can''t be counted. And because of those variables, hundreds of thousands... no, tens of thousands of main scenarios were being created and disappeared by billions of adventurers who were messing around with this and that, even if it wasn''t Jaeyoung. Aaaaaaaaaaa! please! Please stop! Stop beeping! Fuck! I will not! can not! How to handle this! I will write my resignation letter! Kill... . Jaeyoung, who had seen their pain, despairing moans and screams as they passed by, asked Jack with a puzzled look on his face. So... what do you want to say? It''s simple. We want to continue what we have been doing. yes....? [It''s kind of like an adjuster. Using your influence and power, this world I created is a mess that is worse than this... So let''s find some sort of bnce so that it doesn''t flow into the more serious dung mangem you are talking about.] No one dares to Dex has be the absolute ruler of Arcadia and the strongest adventurer, possessing unparalleled influence and power. Using him, who always produces the best results with extraordinary methods and strategies that no one thought of, Jack and President Lee Mi-yeon wanted to prevent the worst ending in countless stories that would continue to happen in the future. So... In other words, you''re saying that I have to step up to Arcadia''s board of directors and legally intervene in the game? Yes. Until now, Jaeyoung and I have been dealing with such matters under the contractual rtionship of being secret friends. President Lee Mi-yeon said that she could do the same thing as before. However, she took out a sheet of the thick contract and pointed her finger at the part where the astronomical sry was written. With reasonable pay. Isnt this... illegal? It cannot be denied that intervening in the situation in the game with a character that Jaeyoung raised himself, not an ount randomly created by the managementpany, could lead to ethical disputes, but there was no legal problem. We have alreadypleted thorough legal consultation through the in-house legal team. ...I have thoroughly prepared. [Hey, look at our circumstances. To be honest, there is no way for me to clean up the shit scattered in Arcadia other than leaning on you. Jack shook his head as if he was dizzy just thinking about it.] He let out a deep sigh and shook his head. And joining him, President Lee Mi-yeon asked again with a very pitiful expression. How... dont you want to think about it again? Jaeyoung student? The look in his eyes conveyed a strong will to please do not refuse this request. However, Jaeyoung, who was lost in thought, shook his head as if he couldn''t do it. Sorry, but I cant sign this contract. Is that so... President Lee Mi-yeonsplexion darkens with a sullen expression at Jae-youngs final deration of refusal. But Jaeyoung smiled at her and said. But I''ll let you do that. yes....? So what does that mean...? It was something I was doing from the beginning, but there is no reason to sit down and take care of it in the position of director, right? I don''t want to get tangled up in my seat and I don''t want to see old men bow down to me. It''s ufortable and I''m suffocating. Jaeyoung is veryfortable in her current way of quietly living her life in seclusion. That''s why he said to President Lee Mi-yeon, who looked at him with surprised eyes. So... as a secret friend, what else do you want me to help you with? Student Jaeyoung... CEO Lee Miyeon looked at her with a look that seemed deeply moved by something. After staring at the two smiling at each other for a long time, Jack sighed and said: [Hey... the picture of the two of them is really nice to look at, but can we urgently turn off the lights right now? ] I have a meeting, look at my mind. So... what am I supposed to do? President Lee Mi-yeon hurriedly leaves the office while checking the time with a blushing face as if embarrassed, and Jae-young asks what to do with a puzzled expression. And after the meeting in such a subtle atmosphere, Jae-young went back to the old and worn-out room. Another perfect reality and virtual world. To start a new adventure to Arcadia. [Wee to the fantasy world of Arcadia.] The End. [Author''s Note] Hello readers. Let''s eat dumplings. This is the first time I''ve officially greeted you like this. First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the readers who have been with Jaeyoung''s story until the end. Without you, I think I would have given up halfway through. Actually, this work was before I went to the army... To be precise, it was a story I wanted to write from the moment I wrote the episode where Minsu created Arcadia in the previous work, Long live the main character!'' Exactly in episode 144, I mentioned the story in the words of the writer in Daldongne, so it was an idea I had in December of 2018. So, I intentionally created a time to make this next work, even while making a nk period of two years for the previous work. It was a lot more nned than I thought. However, I had no choice but to start writing in earnest only in September of 2020 because I was returning from the military. Many people forgot the previous work because the time between the two works was too long, but I am grateful to all those who somehow knew about it, visited it, remembered it, read it, and evenmented on it. I was so proud of the fact that they recognized and mentioned the parts I intended and worried about like a ghost. Of course, there were also difficult times. A lot of people quit halfway, there were noments, and there were times when I felt like I was writing alone. However, I believe that I was able toplete the long journey of 500 episodes without giving up because there were precious people who listened to my concerns, supported me, and sincerely read and enjoyed my work. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of them. Especially the editor who epted my whining.... You really worked hard. I''ve never had a conversation with you, but I''d also like to thank the person in charge of Naver who was in charge of my work. And personally, I am very grateful to the reader and writer Oh Sorok, who sincerely liked and enjoyed my work. The teacher''s sincere support and encouragement gave me great strength. Other than that, to the countless people who can''t mention it because they didn''t get permission. thank you I think I can praise myself and be proud of the fact that I have never taken a break and maintained the series 5 days a week and havee this far. I think it will remain and be remembered forever as a legacy and achievement in my life. Of course, it''s not that goodpared to other people, but it''s not that good. Thank you to all of my own Kim Readers who have been with me on the journey of thiscking and clumsy novice writer Mandu and who have loved the story of Jaeyoung. (It seems like there aren''t really many of them...? Where have they all gone!) Actually, my world view integration isn''t over yet. The poop and butterfly effect created by Minsu is just the beginning. There are at least three more works of Minsu Universe that will be conceived in the future. (It does include Minsu''s version of the story that went into fantasy.) I''ll have a short break, but I don''t think it will take too long. In the future, I wille back once again with better news, and I wille back eating dumplings once again with my next work. I wish you always be happy, and I''m going to rest now. Lastly..... Mandu is now free! It''s liberation!!! Chapter 501 Chapter 501 Side Story, Minsu Universe (1) Asura disappears and the void copses. Since then, people have cheered, thinking that peace has returned to the world of Arcadia, but the reality ispletely different from their hopeful dreams. [Ha ha ha ha ha! All kneel before this Lord of Terror and swear obedience!] [I will raise my sword for all for the hungry and starving people.] [There are many abandonednds that are so deste and abandoned here and there. Brothers and sisters, let new life sprout in a ce where only death hangs over.] Numerous heroes and viins were born under Jack''s arrangement. Beings with powerful powers that would onlye out once in hundreds... no, thousands of years began to move independently after Asura, who had amon goal and was an enemy to fight together, disappeared. Those who take up arms to follow their desires and ambitions or to achieve their beliefs and dreams that they believe in justice. As the eminent people who were born with the fate of the founding king began to show their strength simultaneously all over the continent, it did not take long for numerous shes to ur in all directions and another tragedy to ur. On top of that, the kingdoms and empires that did not perish in the great catastrophe and survived, and even the world tree that dreams of expanding its power . As a result, Arcadia almost fell into a whirlpool of huge andplex changes and bloody wars again. Fortunately, the war did not happen. [A great adventurer, Dex, who has achieved great achievements like a myth. All conflicts quickly subsided as he began to intervene in the turbulent and chaotic situation in Arcadia. When he stepped forward, not only the swarming strongmen, but even the world tree, which was said to support this world with transcendental power, stepped back, so his influence was so great that it was unimaginable.] He annihted Asura and suddenly Dex, the legendary adventurer who disappeared and was quietly secluded. When he appeared in earnest and began to intervene in theplex interests and political battles of Arcadia, all those controversies and disputes ended in an instant, as if never before. [He has enough power to fully control Arcadia if he wants to. The slimes, the strongest race thatpletely dominates the southern continent of Arcadia, follow him like their real parents. You don''t even have to tell me about the anecdote of the evil ck magician Cerberdo'' who went against his will until the end and was crushed without a trace by a gigantic slime emperor like a mountain range, right?] No negotiations or discussions worked . Slimes are considered to be the strongest race in the world of Arcadia and are truly untouchables who live peacefully only in their own territory with cute cries. That wasn''t all of Dex''s potential, the only one who could give them orders. [It is not exactly confirmed, but it is known that Dex has a very deep rtionship with the heavens and the demons. In particr, even the world tree and elven kingdom are sometimes dissatisfied with the decisions he makes, but he is famous for following them without hesitation, and it is analyzed that the spirit realm and the phantom realm are also on his side. There are many anecdotes that even the spirit king in the past dealt with freely. Putting all of these things together, he is the only being that has a powerful influence in all dimensions beyond Arcadia, which belongs to the Middle Earth.] Praise for Dex in the auditorium in front of a crowd of young students who can easily exceed thousands of people... No. A young man who does not spare the story of praise. And he looked at the students with curious faces who were listening to him and muttered as he looked at the very peaceful scenery outside the window with a hazy expression as if he was recalling some past memory. [But despite having such great power, he never showed any greed or ambition. Whenever there is a sign that this Arcadia is about to fall into chaos, he appears suddenly, solves the problem, and then quietly disappears again.] [That''s why we call him a true hero. You should always be grateful to him for being able to live in abundance in such a peaceful era. For awakening our Gael Federation from arrogance, prejudice and ignorance... for leading everyone to open up a new academic horizon of magical engineering.] The Gael Federation, which was destined to disappear into the dark side of history , He concluded his lecture by thinking of the future and of Dex, a benefactor, mentor, and father figure who changed his destiny to face a miserable and unfair death while being ignored and treated by his peers. [Wee to Ouroboros, the best magical academic institution. This is a ce where you can freely seek and explore only truth and knowledge without any discrimination or prejudice. I will teach you at any time and at the same time get inspired by your passion and strive to make this world a better ce. To protect and nurture this world that our great hero gave to everyone.] The first dean of Ouroboros and the supreme chairman of the Gael Federation. And... Haimer, the founder of the Canonphilia school and the developer of Gigas. Despite his young age, he possessed tremendous academic knowledge and capabilities that no one could ignore. As he brightened his eyes and passionately expressed his desire for learning, the huge auditorium was quiet but heated up with the heat of something passionate. [Dex-nim always said that. This world is full of infinite freedom and infinite possibilities. I hope that you, too, will carve out a destiny that you will not be ashamed of. I and countless senior wizards and magical engineers here will cheer you on such a path.] Thus, in the hearts of apprentice wizards and magical engineers who pour out thunderous apuse toward him, Haimer shows respect for a great adventurer and He left the podium instilling admiration. He thought of himself... No, the great hero of the Gael Federation, who was wandering all over the continent in quiet seclusion to protect this Arcadia somewhere. He looked at a butterfly flying across the grass and smiled an iprehensible smile. Five years have passed since Asura''s disappearance. Arcadia was enjoying a more peaceful era than ever before. Under the protection of one absolute being called Dex. * * * Despite everyone''s curiosity, Jae-young eventually chose to live a secluded and quiet life. For the first 3 years, I actively showed up and worked to deal with all sorts of problems, but for about 2 years, I was living a very quiet, normal life. [The carrots have been harvested.] [Length 3.2m... Breaks the record! You have raised a super-giant carrot.] [Farming skill proficiency has increased significantly.] [The title Super-giant crop expert'' has been acquired.] . . . Jae-young is enjoying the daily life of a farmer by raising all sorts of crops. But next to him, Tan, the lord of the Demon Realm, continued to chatter and noisily beg for something. no. Jae-young firmly rejects Tan''s request. Then he frowned as if he was frustrated and asked again. ah! why! master! It''s not what we wanted, it''s what you asked for? Its a request, its Nabal, and how long have you been keeping your eyes on Arcadia again? Are you still out of your mind? Or do you want to see that crazy sapling go crazy and go into a seizure again? ah! So now you''re talking to the owner first! Is this really a measure under a legitimate contract? Even if we move, that sapling should not intervene. Um... where did you sign the contract? These are the adventurers who are active in the western continent. What kind of part-time job... It was said that it was a power with the name of something. Oh Albatross? Does the owner know what it is? Roughly? It''s probably one of the top 10 guilds in Europe as well. It seemed like it was quiet without any activity for a while, but now that I see it, it turns out that I have learned arge quest rted to the Pandemonium behind the scenes and are in the process of proceeding? I don''t know how they did it, but the Albatross Guild is working on a scenario rted to the Pandemonium. Because of them, Pandemonium got a chance to legally expand its territory to Arcadia, so Tan was desperately clinging to Jae-young, not wanting to miss this situation if possible. huh? master? I''ll eat just a little bit If you look at the area that those children want, it''s at the level of eating only two or three city-states on the periphery. I won''t be as greedy as before, so the owner should be kind to that sapling. If that crazy bitch sees me, it''s obvious that he''ll throw his fist first. Hmm... Okay, then there is one condition. condition? What? Ask for Els consent ande. what....? You havent forgotten the pact between the two of you, have you? As long as the gates between the demon world and the heaven world are open, there will be no major obstacle to traveling to and from Arcadia anyway, and there is no need to fight, so we promised each other not to spit on Arcadia. That''s... If El agrees, I won''t intervene. An agreement that was made under the mediation of Jaeyoung after Asura disappeared. Tan muttered something dumbfounded at Jaeyoung''sment that he would ept it as long as he received permission from L. Ask permission from that damn chicken...? master! It can''t even die! What am I going to be? Jae-young plowed the field and said in dismay at Tan''s reaction, saying that there is a demon king''s Gao, but he can''t do that to his pride. If you dont like it, say it. Take care of yourself and reject requests from guys who say it''s an albatross or something. Anyway, the demons can''t move if it''s your absolute order. Kkeuh..... If that''s the case, all the guys below will have seizures again... The essence of demons who hate peace more than anyone else and always crave blood and battle. That''s why there were quite a few people who were dissatisfied with Tan''s way of ruling, which was forced to be more peaceful and passive than ever before. okay? I guess the kids under you fell in love again because they became a little morefortable? Then, shall we invade the Pandemonium like we didst time? Yes....? Jaeyoung asks with a grim smile. As if he wasn''t joking, he was serious, and he murmured while fiddling with the Muspelheim he had taken out before he knew it. Last time, you wiped out about one or three corpsmanders or something and one or two corps, right? This time, I don''t think I''ll even be able to think of invasion or anything like that for a while after I''ve just cut half of the demon army or whatever... How is it? Tan was asking with a yful eye smile, but he knew better than anyone else that it was the truth, not a joke. If Jae-young puts his mind to it, he can go beyond just executing what he just said andpletely destroy the entire Demon Realm. Lord Master! I''m sorry! It''s my fault....! why? Are you trying to help the guys below you because they say it''s hard to manage? Oh no! are you okay! I''ll take care of it! I! Trust me and leave it to me! okay? Is it okay if I don''t help? huh! Well then! The owner is busy farming! I won''t bother you for anything, so don''t worry too much! okay....? don''t do that If you ever need help, don''t be afraid to tell me. At Tan''s words, Jae-young closes the gate and reverse-summons Muspelheim. Watching him crushing the soil with the plow in his hand again, he let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he had saved the Devil World from near destruction. Chapter 502 Chapter 502 Side Story, Minsu Universe (2) After Asura''s disappearance. The real world, which was noisy every day, quickly regained stability as if it had never happened. - Arcadia Co., Ltd. announced an official position to provide services for all consumers once again with a new mindset. Discussion of follow-up measures rted to recent doomsday scenarios. -Both cooperation programs with otherpanies and virtual reality services are being stably provided. There will be no discontinuance or withdrawal of investment. -Announcement of Arcadia''s own asset purchase n so that the value of gold can be maintained stably. The size of the fund alone is estimated at $500 billion. The controversies that began to fade little by little as a result of President Lee Mi-yeon and numerous executives and employees working overtime as if eating a meal, struggling with all their might to solve all kinds of real problems one by one and regain stability. And soon after, people again fell into and became enthusiastic about this fantastic and very lively virtual world, but the peace did notst long. Because..... The reality is much crazier than the president Lee Mi-yeon and Arcadia employees thought. [This is breaking news. The revtion that a hacking program that can steal and look into allmunication information is built into the core operating system of smartphones developed by Corporation Argos, known as Argos'', is shocking as it turns out to be true. This is known to be rted to the US government''s secret program called Prism Project'', and it is expected to expand into a huge international scandal.] [It turns out that the core developer of Argos'' is Kim Min-soo, known to the world as a genius boy. In addition, it is known that he is thergest shareholder and actual owner of Arcadia Co., Ltd., including the world-ss corporation Argos Ajin Electronics and Silico Bio Industries, which is causing a great stir.] Kim Min-soo''s identity was revealed in a very coincidental incident . And then he met his death in the extreme measures of the Russian government. [Today, a nuclear explosion was detected over the high seas near the Arctic Ocean. ording to the announcement of the US government, the nuclear attack was known to have been carried out by Russia, and a high-ranking US official revealed that it was a low-level and heinous assassination targeting Kim Min-soo, who was on the way to the United States. ] nuclear attack. Because of that, Asura, whomitted all kinds of insane entricities, confused reality, and almost brought about the destruction of the virtual world at one time, was killed by Russia''s insane superpower. No, I thought I was greeted. [No matter how much you hate me, is it a human thing to shoot a nuke and kill him?] It''s not some kind of Jesus. And he made a deration to Russia and to the whole world. [I''ll give you just 48 hours from now. Disarm andpletely disband all Russian forces onnd, sea and air within 48 hours. And President Victor voluntarily steps down from the presidency. If not.....] [We will regard it as a deration of war by Russia and start an immediate war with Russia.] Russian Federation VS Kim Min-soo. A war between a superpower that once held the hegemony of the world and shook it, and a single individual. Everyone couldn''t believe it when they saw the situation in front of the obvious and realistic proposition that one person could not defeat the country, but the war was clearly a victory for Minsu. [Genie, get out of standby mode immediately and jump here.] A huge flying body with a diameter of several kilometers. Space battleship Golgodia far surpassed human technology. No country dared to even think of going against a single person in front of that ultra-futuristic strategic weapon that you can''t even imagine when and where it was made. [From now on, I will rule all the oceans and skies on this.] [If it gets twisted, it''ll explode.] So the world began to be ced in a bizarre situation that has never been seen before. An unbelievably powerful and enormous power that one person can possess... In a strange and subtle situation where they are dragged around and dragged by all kinds of abuse of power by the craziest guy in the world. However, no one dared to criticize him. [The zombie virus that originated in China.... Who is it that stopped the Abomination? Whatever it was, if it wasn''t for Kim Min-soo, humanity might have been destroyed by the infected with that terrible virus! No, I''m sure it would have perished. Those who should be med and historically responsible for the Chinese crisis are the Chinese leadership who developed chemical and biological weapons.] If you look at it, it''s mostly positive. For example, didn''t you catch the divisionmander''s exaggerated expression and invade North Korea alone, forcibly reopen the Korean War, which was in a state of truce, and reunify it by force? Of course, there are public opinion criticizing that he blundered over the military service issue by using unification as bait and threatening him.] [ No, if you hate Minsu that much, why not use the Argos system? Do you have the confidence to give up virtual reality services and live? Or can you give up even Dolphin Shipping''s warp gates? Like it or not, we are blessed with the splendid benefits of his inventions and technologies, and are enjoying their prosperity. Of course, I don''t want to deny that Kim Min-soo is crazy, but I don''t know about other countries, but if you''re Korean, you shouldn''t criticize him.] His legacy and achievements are so deeply ingrained that it''s impossible to antagonize and exclude them. Numerous super-futuristic science technologies and inventions created by one person, Min-soo, were creating endless innovations, developing the entire human race faster than ever before, and making tremendous progress, so no country... even the United States was hasty. It didn''t even bother him. Ugh..... That crazy guy is really still the same..... Minsu''s face was shining brightly on the billboard on the street. And underneath it, something was written in dazzling text, as if it were an advertisement. [Is your country like X? Do you think the son of a leader is sick? Thene to the Terran Federation, ruled by a brilliant and fair AI! Live a new life here! If you apply now, you can obtain citizenship for free!] - Once you migrate, you must reside on Mars for at least 5 years. He who held the entire earth in his hands and did all sorts of ramblings and power-ups. And in the end, Europe, the United States, Korea... Min-soo, who gathered all the refugees and illegal aliens from all over the world and built his own country on Mars. Seeing that he was making and promoting a country with the ridiculous name of the Terran Federation, Jaeyoungughed as if it was absurd, but one person with arms folded next to him had a different idea. I heard a lot of stories about how nice it is to live there. Lee Mi-yeon, general manager of Arcadia Co., Ltd. She, who was once a secret friend (?), has developed that rtionship over a long period of time, and now she is smiling with affection as a person who promised Jae-young for the rest of her life. okay? So, shall we apply for citizenship over there? I think that crazy guy will like it. Hmm... no matter how good it is to live there, I think I like Earth... CEO Lee Mi-yeon was seriously thinking about something at Jae-youngs words. Then, he smiled softly and said while rubbing his stomach. And my child has to be born on Earth first. Wouldnt it be strange if both parents were from Earth and only the children were from Mars? I thought so. Jaeyoung, who smiled and nodded at Miyeon''s words, suddenly checked the time and said while holding her hand. Lets go, its time for the movie. oh. Are you done already? uh. If I don''t hurry, I might bete. The two of them hurriedly moved their steps. It wasn''t long before a red carpet and a huge crowd gathered in front of them with a huge spotlight. Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ats....! ats....! The final chapter of this masterpiece! I... I can die now! NINJA!!!!! NINJA!!!!!!! Oh! Fantastic!!!!! Mecha dinosaurs, robot cats, and countless yangdeok dressed in ninja cosys gathered here, shouting loudly and wreaking havoc. - A rare masterpiece that set a record that will never be seen again in history decorates the finale. -The movie premiere of the final chapter of the cosmic invasion of cat robots without ears was held today. -A long journey spanning 10 episodes. Wee to the splendid finale that will make your heart feel magnificent and bring tears to your eyes! Jae-gyun''s work has already received tremendous attention from the public and the media even before its release, raising expectations. Space invasion of earless cat robots. Jaeyoung, who received the tickets for the preview for the final 10th chapter, muttered with a confused look on his face. I still dont know why the hell this movie is making such a fuss about being funny. Hmm... honestly, I thought the first episode was okay, but after about the third episode, it wasnt so good. you also? uh. I watched all 9 episodes, but the story was soplicated that I didn''t like it. I was so confused about the multiverse and time travel. Something was strange when they said that Mecha Brychiosaurs were actually Mecha Tyranno''s parents. How could a herbivorous dinosaur be the parent of a carnivorous dinosaur? It can''t be helped. That kid didn''t think about the future and just bought it, so he must have been sweating hard toe up with a story forcibly. It takes less than a week to make, but it would have taken almost a year just to make the story. Jae-gyun who went beyond verse 1, verse 2, verse 3, and even spent chidori on brain fractures. The story has already gone beyond the dead end and has be something indescribable that cannot be understood or even exined, but oddly enough, the public went crazy over and over again watching his work. Anyway... it''s amazing to see that the movie is so popr. It''s more than strange, it''s strange. If it hadn''t been made by Jae-kyun, the preview wouldn''t havee even if he was beaten to death. After breaking through the huge crowd and entering the VIP seats Jae-kyun specially prepared for them, Jae-young and Mi-yeon were surprised to see the two of them by chance. oh? President? Chaeyeon...? Long time no see. How are you? Kyaa! Jaeyoung! how have you been doing? President Jeon Ki-chan and her only granddaughter Jeon Chae-yeon. President Lee Mi-yeon had a rtionship with President Jeon Ki-chan and Jae-yeong with Chae-yeon, so they started to talk about each other. When are you two getting married? I know! Maybe sooner orter? Itste, but congrattions on your pregnancy. Ho-ho-ho. thank you. So what are you doing these days? Its been quiettely in Arcadia, right? What am I... I''m just doing some farming and taking it easy. Four people chatting while talking about each other''s current situation. While they wereughing and chatting with each other, Miyeon pped her hands as if something came to her mind and asked. oh. Come to think of it, the president must have been invited to the event tomorrow too, right? A formal gated event with the Terran Federation? Of course I did. Are you going to attend? then. He even gave me an invitation toe and even said something over a video call, but what should I do? The old man in the back room has nothing to do, so he should at least show his face. Well, the president has been retired from politics for a year, but since he is still a famous figure with overwhelming support from the entire nation, I think it will help a lot in recruiting Terran federal citizens. Cuckoo..... Anyway, I dont know what the hell Minsu is thinking. Well... it was originally like that. Wacky and random... Even though he''s just a brash and unpretentious kid... No matter how crazy he was, no matter how much Min-soo had done and suffered a lot, Mi-yeon couldn''t resent or hate him. Still, I am very grateful to Minsu. Lee Mi-yeon smiles as she recalls something from the past. She looked at Jaeyoung, who wasughing while talking next to her, and muttered with a very happy smile. If it werent for him, wouldnt I have met such a wonderful and perfect husband? Chapter 503 Chapter 503 Side Story, Civilian Universe (3) Terran Federation. Even the name is unique. This fledgling country, only five years old, was created in a very strange and unique historical background. [The poption of the Terran Federation is about 40 million. The territory is the entire Mars. And sovereignty ..Surely no country is crazy enough to question the power of the space fleet I have ? Seeing his atrocities his in swallowing up Mars, one of the preliminary colonys closest to Earth, as he was not enough to advance into space, the whole world protested and protested violently in a level close to seizures, but the result was grim. [is it so? If you twist it like that, shall we eat the ground? Whoever wins eats it all?] [] ..] The United Nations (UN) had no choice but to recognize and approve the birth of a new nation called the Terran Federation by crying and eating mustard without even getting its break. And soon after, they looked at Mars with great interest and curiosity. A barren, orange-colored destes and devoids any movement of life. However, Mars, which revealed its true form after the camouge membrane was lifted, was suddenly dyed green and blue, turning into an Earth-like appearance and dynamically exuding its vitality. Mars is only a small poption of about 40 million people, but it constitutes an independent ecosystem. There, everyone on Earth realized as they watched the progress of the Terran Federation, which was building a new home for mankind. It is only now that the history of space exploration of mankind, which everyone has dreamed of, has begun in earnest. But .. Minsu did not allow free exchanges andings and goings between the Terran Federation and Earth. [5 years. Five years from today, let''s open the gateway connecting Mars and Earth at the gateway hub in Pyongyang. From then on, you will be able to freelye and go between Mars and Earth, but until then, wake up.] Under the rule of the transcendent governing personality called Genie, who controls and dominates the entire, the national system is being reorganized at an unprecedented speed. The Terran Federation spent 5 years. After finding some stability, that day finally came. [Next news. An event to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the Terran Federation is scheduled for today at 6pm local time. ording to the information announced by the Terran Federation, the rted event will be held in real time on Mars and Earth at the same time, and in the case of Earth, it will be held in Pyongyang where the gateway is installed. Also, it is known that the gateway to Mars will be opened at the same time as the event is over, and it is receiving tremendous attention from all over the world.] [A total of 40 million people have applied for migration to the Terran Federation. After passing through the gateway to Mars, they obtain formal citizenship and are obliged to reside in the Terran Federation for 5 years. In addition, it has announced that it will follow international standards regarding the immigration regtions of the Terran Federation, and the entry of foreigners is restricted only for tourism purposes.] Terran Federation 5th Anniversary Celebration. It was a monumental event for the entire human race in terms of the fact that another was colonized beyond this earth and that another world in which mankind could live was opened. puffer puffer. Puff puff puff. Numerous firecrackers and fireworks shot up into the sky like crazy. The event, which was held on an incredibly luxurious and gigantic scale, as if money had just been poured, gathered not only ordinary citizens but also numerous high-ranking figures from around the world. A ce where famous politicians, movie stars, entertainers, schrs, heads of conglomerates, and other leaders from all over the world gather. And there, Jaeyoung grumbled with a tired face in the crowd of people. Ugh. People are really dirty Are you sure you have toe to this event? Arent you in good health? You shoulde anyway. Its a day Minsu prepared with great care. The ce where he was forced toe by Mi-yeon''s hand. However, Jae-young, who does not have good feelings for Min-soo, responded a little cynically to her words. joy. What do you know? That damn child. Jae-young is still angry about Min-soo''s depravity in Arcadia. Even though he tried to delete his character, I couldn''t get attached to him because of his attitude and crazy entricities, shamelessly talking to him without a word of apology. Of course, Miyeon had a slightly different opinion from him. Dont hate Minsu so much? Its true that its a little unique and strange, but its not like he has a bad nature. Isn''t the nature of a guy who forgets favors but lives with the promise of paying back a hundredfold a hundredfold? eye for an eye. In this. Min-su, who practices the Code of Hammurabi more diligently than anyone else. No matter how hard he tried to deal with the person who fed him, he was so vicious that even Satan would cry. .oh. Jaeyoung, look at the sky over there. Really pretty. And Mi-yeon, who was at a loss for words at Jae-young''s question, suddenly changed the topic. And soon after, a resonant sound began to be heard from the giant gate in the center of the venue. Woo woo woo woo. At the same time that a huge amount of energy was supplied, theplicated machine started to light up, and soon it shook and something began to look like ss. And soon, a huge passage was created, and the view of Mars began to appear, and arge number of people began toe out of it. Wowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Earth! Ahhhhhh! Im finally free from that damn pimp! Earth! earth! Im finally back! Citizens of the Terran Federation who were suddenly forcibly relocated to Mars one day and had to spend a long time of five years. While touching and cheering as they sessfully passed through the gates and stepped on the ground, countless Earthlings began to cross over to the Terran Federation. Every time I see it, the device called the gateway is strange. Yeah It was so amazing to move across the other side of the earth in an instant, but to be able to move to another in the blink of an eye. Its really unbelievable no matter how you look at it. Thepletion of the bridgehead between Earth and Mars. The moment when the sessful 5th anniversary celebration of the Terran Federation came to an end. A huge gas appeared above their heads. [hello everyone. This is Kim Min-soo.] The space battleship Golgodia. Everyone looked up at the sky with their mouths open as the kilometer-long supergiant, his main weapon and the symbol of the Terran Federation, appeared. [As promised before, now anyone who wants will be able toe and go to Mars through Pyongyang''s gateway. Upon application, anyone can freely acquire Terran Federation citizenship. Unless you apply for a castle of refuge tomit a crime in your own country and run away.] Minsu says that the door to the Terran Federation is open to everyone. And he talked about misceneous things for a while, and then started making bomb derations that shocked everyone. [And I have to take this opportunity to say goodbye to all of you. I have decided to leave this world as of today.] ? What is that ? People who did not understand the meaning of Minsu''s words. However, his subsequent exnation was enough to shock everyone. [As I mentioned in a previous paper, this world is not made of only one dimension. It starts with 16 dimensions and consists of a multiverse that is close to infinite due to the numerous dimensions that have been uncontrobly derived due to numerous variables.] [ And I found another dimension in that infinite universe. We failed to collect urate data, but one thing is certain: there are creatures like us living there too. To put it simply Should I say it''s a two-dimensional Earth that''s exactly the same as this Earth?] Minsu said that he found another Earth in a different dimension than this Earth. And he dered in front of everyone. [I''m going to start exploring this earth no, beyond the dimension to be precise. To help you understand, it means that you n to go on an adventure to another world through dimension shift.] ! This crazy .. A crazy story that no one will believe. However, since the subject of the talk was Minsu, who had beenmitting all kinds of bizarre atrocities and realizing absurd miracles, no one listening to his story could dismiss that bullshit as a joke. [Don''t worry too much about me leaving. I''m thinking of temporarily entrusting all authority to Eugene, thinking of the Terran Federation or the writers who will pay attention to my rice bowl in case I''m not there. If you ever get caught doing something out of the ordinary, the country itself, not just your hands and feet, might disappear into the backwaters of history, so make sure you understand the subject well. With his words, Golgodia began releasing a huge amount of energy with a huge vibrating sound. Minsu''s ship, vibrating violently enough to guess that something unusual was happening just by looking at it, was emitting a huge amount of light and sma. Turn off Whose eyes are you! That madman ! What the hell are you doing ! That time when everyone is confused and confused. Jaeyoung could clearly hear his yfulst greeting her. [Then everyone, looking forward to the day when you wille back, goodbye everyone. In the meantime, stay healthy.] Paat. Golgodia, which filled the sky with white light on such a dark night, disappeared in an instant. Along with the world''s greatest madman, who went through arrogance and perversity to advance the world and the civilization of mankind by several steps in an instant. Minsu disappeared? I cant believe this Then really ? Shock, astonishment, fear, joy People''s expressions mixed with all sorts ofplex and subtle emotions. Everyone''s reaction was very different, but Jaeyoung was able to read one thought inmon with everyone in their eyes. Now can I not watch that madman''s jokes anymore?'' People shouting cheers and looking like they want to hold a festival for three days and nights. However, due to the sudden change, the venue fell into great confusion. [warning. warning. Dimensional energy surge.] [Energy source tracking. Check absolute and rtive coordinates ..5 locations detected.] [Warning. Users are advised to evacuate the area immediately. I warn you once again. Users are advised to leave the ce immediately and evacuate.] Argos, a personal assistant built into each smartphone. When Argos'' artificial intelligence, which contemtes the whole world, urgently sounded a warning and told them to evacuate, doubts rose to everyone''s faces. And .. Kyaaak! What the hell is that! Ughhh! A monster A monster! Woo woo woo woo. A hole in an unknown dimension that is shimmering in the air. And Jaeyoung, who confirmed that something protruded from there, soon saw the strange creature with a familiar appearance and muttered with an absurd expression. That Orc ? Chwiyiyiik! [email protected]#[email protected][email protected]$$! An orc threateningly brandishes a rusty weapon in his hand while making an iprehensible sound. However, soon after, he was mercilessly suppressed by the bullets of the bodyguards who came running, but strange creatures continued to emerge from the hole in the dimension that suddenly appeared. Kiki Kiki Kiki! Kyaaaaaaaaaaa! Aww! Run away! What the hell is this all about! The event venue quickly turned into a mess. People running away in a hurry, and bodyguards, police, and soldiers shooting bullets with panicked faces. And watching the appearance of all kinds of familiar fantasy monsters, Jaeyoung stood nkly for a long time before shouting to the sky. You goddamn Earth writer! Are you kidding me? Thus, the 5th anniversary of the founding of Terran became an unforgettable and important historical turning point for mankind. As the day when human civilization''s first dimension movement was sessful and the day when the gates of fantasy monsters invading this world were first opened. ^Ball^Gold^ The Novel will be updated first on this website.
