Chapter 155: In The Darkness (2)

Yurnet stood beside .

This girl had more information resources than I imagined.

Not just in Mobius. Shes renowned as a skilled hacker on Earth too. Apparently, magical formulas and hacking codes have similarities.

[Kaiser32 and Nord Sickle]

The reports introduction ca to mind.

I started scrolling down.

First, Kaiser32.

[Na

Seo Tae-jun]

[Age

32]

[Origin

Earth, South Korea, Seoul]

His personal details were recorded alongside a photo.

So, he was 32 because of his age.

Quite the sense of humor. I chuckled lightly as I continued reading.

Born with a silver, no, a diamond spoon with his history of spending millions in gas.

The third son of the Changshin Group. Changshin Group is one of the top conglorates in Korea. Originally, he was to inherit one of the associates and live a luxurious life, but

He was ousted in the succession battle.

Caught in the crossfires of power struggles, he was pushed out and sent to live in the provinces with nothing but his wealth.

And so, he turned to gaming. Investing millions into every ga, he dominated the rankings as if it were childs play.

Hmm.

He threw money around, playing the king among his circle of acquaintances.

Testimonies of his distinctive influence were attached to the report.

Unable to exert such power in real life, he desired to be the king at least in the virtual world.

The fifth ga was L.

Famous for its exorbitant spending policies.

After conquering L, he moved on to Pick

Up with his clan mbers

That was three months ago in real-ti.

What followed was as I knew. He splurged on heroes, climbing the ranks through looting and destruction until he was utterly defeated by Niflheimr.

To think she could even dig up the masters origins.

I clicked my tongue and said,

How did you find out all of this?

Well, since its recorded on Mobiuss server

Yurnet cleared her throat before continuing,

Master, the next part might be shocking. Please brace yourself.

What do you an?

Kaiser32s current situation.

I think I know where this is going.

What beca of him.

I scrolled down.

The next page of the report was blank.

But slowly, the noise began to creep onto the screen, and a black-and-white video started playing.

[Cam. 32]

A dark room.

The curtains were drawn, and the door was firmly closed.

Not a single light entered the space.

The only thing in the room was a solitary bed.

And on the bed

Whats this video?

I frowned.

Its from a hospital. The security was quite tight, so it was challenging to get through.

CCTV footage.

Yes. Changshin General Hospital, basent level 3.

That man is

Seo Tae-jun, 32 years old. He was declared brain dead about a month ago.

So, it was as I suspected.

Various pieces of the puzzle, which I only had suspicions about, clicked into place.

I smirked bitterly.

Wheres my body then?

Im sorry. Thats sothing we havent been able to find out.

I thought so. Alright.

Just give

a mont. Id like to be alone.

Excuse , then.

Yurnet bowed and left the room.

I placed my hand on the table. The man in the video was sleeping like the dead.

In reality, thats probably what he was. Being brain-dead ant he was nothing more than a living corpse.

So Kaiser32 and Nord were the sa person after all.

Theres no other explanation.

Half-hero, half-master. The condition for becoming a seven-star, as Yurnet once explained.

As I sorted through the information,

The more engrossed a master becos in the ga, the closer they get to Mobius.

Thats why, as the floors get higher, the concentration of interference grows.

Like what Anytng is experiencing now. Heroes beco stronger, and missions can be more significantly influenced.

The Heaven-defying Book.

Even the na was nonsensical.

Defying () Heaven ().

I see.

The condition to beco a seven-star was simple.

The fusion of hero and master.

In the process, the master dies.

Just like Seo Tae-jun ended up a corpse on that bed.

From the first to the fourth rank.

Theres almost no publicly known information about them.

Only that theyve reached floor 90. But it wasnt always like this. There were a few who were treated like celebrities on community sites back in the day. I even received help from one when I was a newbie.

They vanished all of a sudden.

Did they die?

Among them was a genius I even admired.

If Kaiser32 is dead, then Nord was the actual leader of the Union.

After obtaining the power of a seven-star, he invaded Niflheimr pretending to be a master.

There was a justification.

Even if soone familiar with Seo Tae-juns situation appeared, they could simply claim it was autonomous action.

The accounts above

were no different.

I closed my eyes.

Her voice slowly rewound in my mind.

The one who summoned

here. That irkso voice is still clear.

You cant possibly believe that. You are a special being. This place is a gift for you. A stage prepared for you, the glorious ranker of Pick

Up.

Dont hate too much. Your summoning to Mobius was also unexpected for . An unforeseen accident.

You were the only one who truly realized the aning of those words. Among a hundred million masters, you were the only one.

But you were different. The only master who truly dominated the waiting room was you.

All of it.

Smooth talk.

I wasnt summoned by him.

It was just an accident. Her intention from the start was singular.

To kill .

Seris would have been the target for fusion.

The purpose is obvious.

A seven-star.

For that reason, she opened the Supre Advent Dungeon in my account.

However due to so unknown cause, the fusion failed, and I survived.

So, she thought it over.

To recycle .

Quite the frugal one.

Would make a great housewife, dont you think?

Isnt that right?

Tel.

I muttered the na of the person I knew.
