It was so obvious that it made my mouth hurt.
The excuse that I couldnt take a break on the Arcana Continent wouldnt work. In the first place, what was the reason I had decided that I would only spend one day on the Arcana Continent?
Thump
The view once the door was closed.
On the office desk.
A lot of work piled up in one day.
Indeed.
The day I returned to reality after 15 days.
I realized once again how much of a burden I was carrying.
I used to be a member of society and lived alone in the past.
In those days, I had seen people who didnt put off doing housework.
I had wondered in disbelief if they were really human beings.
Sk.
Actually, as soon as I got back to reality, I toyed with my feather pen.
I would probably be able to take a few more drinks than those people
Of course, I couldnt keep making a fuss over it forever.
Im glad it didnt put too much strain on my body.
Players were called superhumans.
Simply by increasing your stats, you would have physical abilities that were superior to those of ordinary people. Not only that, I even had the effect of the [Blessing of the First World Tree].
It ignores aging so how can I get bothered by fatigue?
Thanks to that, in a straight posture like this.
I could handle the work.
Not just my body, but my mind was also healthy.
Its a good thing the efficiency doesnt drop.
If it were with myLee Hoyeolsconcentration.
It wouldnt have been possible to resolve the backlog at this speed.
Thanks to this, by the time Grandfel emptied the green tea in the teacup.
The papers on the desk disappeared.
By the way
Because I took a breather from reality.
Now my thoughts wandered to the Arcana Continent.
Since time passed four times faster than in reality.
It might be noticeably different the next time I entered.
The Empire will take care of itself.
Once again, it was an unfounded worry, I didnt have to worry about it anymore.
Even if just for the sake of not sinking while acting erratically.
The Emperor should rule the empire like an emperor.
Although we only had a brief conversation, the Emperor still seemed to have that level of quality.
The Emperor knew pride.
Grandfel could see a hint of pride in him.
In this way, what I thought about the Empire
The contribution that was built up. And the Qirnberg Machine Tower.
Its sad to think about it, again.
Glance
I shifted my gaze and looked at the jacket draped over my shoulders.
Yeah, I still lacked levels.
Although I didnt express it.
It went against expectations.
Byproduct of Primordial Evil.
It was a pity that the lump didnt spit out any experience points. It was because the main body wasnt defeated. It could be said to be a nasty method but it also felt unfair.
Moreover, even up until then, there was a part of me that believed in it.
The solid saving called the Qirnberg Machine Tower!
However, the new information I heard through Chainwalker was the culprit.
Haiel told me.
Just as adventurers become stronger by gaining experience in battle. The dwarves leader, Chainwalker, told me that the same thing applied to the Qirnberg Machine Tower.
The accumulated experience and fame would not go anywhere.
As I said, even if I exploited it.
The current Empire was depleted.
The Qirmberg Machine Tower was set up as guard posts for the Empire.
What if I took that experience point and fame?
The power of the Empire would drop significantly.
This is how I keep my words.
Regardless of how I felt, my mouth spoke again.
Carry out the pride of Akshan until the moment you stop.
Anyway, as much as it was unexpected.
I had to do my best from this side, too.
[Recommended level: Not recommended for anyone].
As long as the Zero Mountain existed.
If I put in the effort, I wouldnt have to worry about experience points.
Eventually.
I just have to do well this time too.
Squeak.
After thinking about it, I immediately manifested the portal.
The burden I carried didnt just pile up in the Mage Tower.
Furthermore, today was the day of the Holy War Allied Force meeting.
Only one day.
Even though nothing particularly special could happen in the reality.
It was impossible for me to skip the procedure.
I headed beyond the portal to the Yusra Kingdom.
.
.
.
But something special happened.
Union.
How come you guys cant live up to your name?
I recited.
Have they expressed the exact opposite?
To think they would get their hands on a connector by any means necessary.
It was almost like they were falling victim to Raymond Seans trick.
It was not like I couldnt understand that judgment.
Since a while ago.
Union was maintaining its top spot in the guild rankings, beating out Shining.
I guess that means they wont let their abilities go to waste.VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔
In other words, they were confident.
But even if I could understand.
There was no way I would condone that behavior.
Of course.
Then I guess Ill have no choice but to break that goal myself.
Raymond Sean was no different from a demon.
I, and Grandfel too, had come to that conclusion.
Those gathered at the table nodded their heads at my declaration.
It seemed they had clashed in the Zero Mountain.
Players, including Nam Taemin, nodded furiously.
Hisagi opened his mouth in a serious voice.
I thought that the actions of Union had gone too far. More than just business ethics, they can no longer be viewed as individual players or a guild. They are one with the nation.
The way his eyes fiercely glinted seemed to suggest he had a lot of resentment built up since the time of Inazuma. Hisagi wasnt the only one who showed an unusual reaction. Nam Taemin, Leonie, and Schraig also assisted him.
However, Nam Taemin added.
But all the conflicts are caused by Liu Jinchun. I happened to meet a member of Union Guild. The players there also didnt seem to follow Liu Jinchun because they liked him.
Hakuna, the king of Yusra, was enraged by the news.
The man is not qualified as a leader!
Liu Jinchuns arbitrary actions had been notorious for a long time.
However, there must be a reason why his guild members couldnt resist him.
Starting with Liu Jinchuns rare class called [Monarch].
Even the unavoidable motherland, China.
There are complex intertwined interests that cannot be known from the outside.
So far, there had been no reason to pay attention to them.
But from this moment on.
The ideal that formed a confrontational structure with Union.
I needed to know how Union worked.
Thinking about it, wasnt it unfair?
Unlike me, where every move was being revealed to the world.
I didnt know much about that side.
Nevertheless, I spoke calmly.
We might be able to encounter them in Zero Mountain.
Union wouldnt neglect to raise their level even while searching for the connectors.
If I worked in Zero Mountain to fit my arms into this fluttering jacket, wouldnt I naturally encounter Union? That was what I thought
!
When I said that I would look in Zero Mountain, the faces of Nam Taemin and the others suddenly brightened. More than just being glad, it seemed they had another reason
Harkon opened his mouth immediately.
I was going to tell Sir Hoyeol. When Sir Hoyeol diligently roamed the Arcana Continent. The adventurers also achieved results while fighting in the Zero Mountain.
I had the position of the Commander-in-Chief.
So Harkon said he would use honorifics in public, but As expected, the respectful treatment I received from Harkon felt unfamiliar. Of course, I didnt show it and accepted the parchment Harkon handed me.
Their achievement was written on the parchment.
Taking other peoples hardships lightly would be an act against pride.
I slowly perused the parchment and opened my mouth.
Indeed, its not an exaggeration to say that youve fought hard.
How many are there?
Hundred Thousand Caves in the Zero Mountains.
[Dungeon], [Labyrinth], [Battlefield], etc..
Those types.
The number was hard to count with your fingers.
Information about numerous caves was written on parchment.
The Knights of Lionheart worked hard in Zero Mountain along with the players. Thanks to this, Harkon seemed to know why the players were hesitant.
Most of these caves were discovered when the Commander was away for 15 days. There was one reason why we couldnt report quickly. The adventurers were concerned that they might take up the Commanders time.
I internally sighed in relief.
How long has it been?
The goodwill directed towards me was actually working in the right direction. If it werent for the consideration that Harkon said. Perhaps this guys pride would have immediately added conquering the 100,000 caves to his daily routine.
I almost ended up going through even more trouble than I do now.
However, thanks to that consideration, we could move so efficiently like this.
It was not just killing two birds with one stone, but killing three birds with one stone.
I opened my mouth in a generous tone.
You dont need to worry about me.
Because of this damn formality, I couldnt be honest.
But this time I will gladly accept your goodwill.
I ended up saying words that didnt need to be said.
It wouldnt be weird if they thought I was a jerk.
But luckily they just seemed happy.
Well, considering the level of Zero Mountain, its understandable
I looked again at the recommended level written on the parchment.
[Recommended level: Lv.800]
[Recommended level: Lv.850]
[Recommended level: Lv.750]
These were all caves that couldnt be conquered by players at their current level. They probably thought that if I joined them, they would be able to attack them easily.
Really, I should remove their delusions once in a while
I felt it desperately when I saw the legend spreading on the Arcana Continent.
I should correct unnecessary delusions as soon as possible.
No one knew how it would bite me in the ass.
[Level: 681]
My stats increased through the laborious class quests.
If you just looked at the total of my stats, I was stronger than my level.
As expected, the problem was that my class, the demon hunter, had missing screws.
Of course, considering the tricks I had accumulated and the [Legend] and [class unique skill] that I had recently acquired I could clear the recommended level 800 by myself.
I dont want to use it if possible.
Even if we put aside the fact that summoning Tempest, Akshans guardian spirit, in front of a non-demonic regular monster was something that a demon hunters pride couldnt tolerate.
The Dark Dragon shouldnt come out no matter what.
Above all, I needed to struggle.
You might ask what I meant by struggling.
What I meant was, I had been having it too easy.
I need fundamental skills from now on.
That didnt mean I wouldnt use tricks.
I had to add tricks on top of basic skills.
Even tricks could be used as a secret weapon.
Then well have no reason to delay it.
There was no such thing as taking a break in my life anyway.
It wouldnt be a bad idea to head straight to Zero Mountain.
It was time to wrap up the Holy War Allied Force meeting.
Wait a minute, Hoyeol-ssi No, Commander!
Nam Taemin opened his mouth.
It seemed he has still something left to say.
I had no particular reason not to listen to him.
When I nodded, Nam Taemin continued.
However.
An unexpected word came out of his mouth.
Can I hear the story about the Dark Dragon?
The Dark Dragon?
At that moment, I felt dizzy.
Without expressing it, I pulled myself together.
They were probably just curious about the Dark Dragon, right?
This was different from the Arcana Continent.
The fact that I was the Dark Dragon didnt spread in reality.
Yes, Hoyeol. Theres no need to be intimidated by his prodding.
The moment I shamelessly controlled my mind.
More and more unbelievable words followed.
This time from Hisagis mouth.
I never thought the Commander-in-Chief was the Dark Dragon. It was foolish of me to be unable to imagine it.
Are you crazy?!
H-How do you know that?
No, why is no one surprised?!
Players.
No, even the Arcanains.
Everyone here.
They were not surprised to hear that I was the Dark Dragon.
It was only at that moment that I realized it too late.
Bzz
My smartphone was vibrating loudly in my pocket.
[Missed call: Nemesis]
It seemed everyone in the reality had found out.
The fact that I was the Dark Dragon that the dragons had cried out desperately for!!
