Meanwhile, the team and I were at the stadium and watching the breaking news that started suddenly.
[Breaking news. Light is shining at the same time on the Ark Continent.]
The camera’s point of view switched along with the subtitles and a video showing the vast Ark Continent appeared. It was as if it was taken from a satellite. The wide viewing angle was clearly visible on the screen. Something was going on there that I couldn’t even imagine.
“What is that...?”
“What is going on?”
Kim Hyeonu and Eun Jeonghyeok looked blank as their mouths dropped open in turn.
“Wow, it's pretty.”
“What is this event?”
Mido and Lim Sara both showed expressions like they thought it was magical and beautiful. The sight on the screen was astounding. The audience watched while holding their breaths. Suddenly, someone yelled.
“It is a Union event!”
The audience mistakenly thought it was a new event organized by Union for the last day of the World Competition. There was applause and cheers from the audience. Whistles came out.
Waaaah!
Everyone yelled excitedly, but I couldn’t do so. It was because two lights were soaring on the screen right now. One was bright and one was dark. I probably knew their identities.
“This is ridiculous...”
Mido heard my murmur and asked me, “Grandfather, do you know what those lights are?”
However, I couldn’t answer. It was because more lights appeared on the screen. The situation on the Ark Continent was changing in real time. Some lights were white and some were dark. They continued to rise and I felt like I was watching the end of the world. Maybe from now on, Arkstar would usher in a new change.
‘I can’t do anything now.’
A big event was currently occurring. Perhaps tomorrow, the newspapers and all the media would be covering this. These lights were the precursor to the beginning. I quickly turned around and ran out of the waiting room.
“Grandfather, where are you going?!”
As I ran, I shouted loudly to Mido, “The waiting room! I have to enter the game!”

Deep in the night, at the river near Metheus...
“Ah, it’s good.”
“Isn’t it great?”
“Yes! Really great.”
Kis and Helena leaned against each other as they watched the moon by the river. Kis was happy that the two of them were together after a long time, while Helena escaped from the exhausting pile of documents. There was a sound from the end of the fishing rod in the river. The cause of the sound was the fish suddenly jumping.
The wave of water caused by the fish clouded the moonlight on the river. The moonlight might be beautiful but it didn’t lose its aloofness.
Helena questioned, “Is your head injury better?”
“Yes, it has improved a lot.”
Helena smiled at Kis’ words. At the same time, she patted the back of Kis’ head that Crystal had healed. The scar still remained, but the wound was almost completely healed. It would’ve been a serious injury if it wasn’t for Crystal, the saintess of Metheus. He probably would’ve lacked the strength to live in this world. Therefore, Crystal was Helena’s benefactor.
‘I will go shopping in Fortren later.’
Helena didn’t know why, but she was recently invited by Aren, the head of the resistance, to try out management and business in various fields in Fortren. At first, she refused because of the burden. Then under Aren’s repeated persuasion, Helena allowed it. It was why Helena was stuck in the lord’s office looking at documents. In fact, there was no reason to be so busy if she was just managing Metheus.
‘Why did Aren leave me such a big task?’
She didn’t know the reason, but every time Helena saw Aren, she felt a comfort that came from within the depths of her heart. How should she describe this feeling? She didn’t know yet.
‘Is today the last time I can play with Kis like this for awhile?’
After today, Helena wouldn’t be able to see Kis often because of work. Of course, she could throw it all away, but she already had too much responsibility on her shoulders. It also felt like she would be binding Kis if she asked him to run away with her. The man she loved was a great man who would run away if he was bound.
‘Then tonight...?’
Helena leaned on Kis’ shoulder and looked up at Kis’ head shining in the moonlight. The wavy bangs and the starlight shining in the eyes were enough to make her fall in love again.
“...Kis.”
“Huh?”
Kis turned his head from where he had been looking at the end of the fishing rod. Helena’s eyes that resembled the moonlight were beautiful.
“What is it?”
“Tonight, with me...”
Helena’s face moved closer to Kis. Kis’ heart suddenly trembled.
Duguen!Duguen!
He could clearly hear the beating of his heart in his ears. It was exciting. What would she say next? Kis wished that Helena’s words would be the same as what he was thinking. Her face slowly approached and at the moment they were going to touch...
“Together...”
Chiiiiing—!
“Hiiik!”
“Fuck!”
Kis and Helena shot up from the wooden chairs they were sitting on. Their eyes were staring at the same place. A white light was soaring from a lake not far from here.

The beginner town, Mulan.
Momori and Tarmo returned to Mulan after a long time and had a drink with the instructors and students of the training camp, including Kunta. The two of them said they had settled down in Metheus after passing through Windia, and they were living a pretty rewarding life. They talked about how they had been thinking of setting up a barber store in Metheus recently using the Magic Power Hair Clipper. Kunta and the others praised them and said it was a good match. Additionally, they joked that the two of them shouldn’t push too hard.
Tarmo and Momori gained confidence about their barber store and walked down the streets of Mulan shoulder to shoulder. It was a beautiful hometown with a quiet night view.
“As expected, our hometown is the best. Isn’t that right, Tarmo?”
“Yes. By the way, where are we going, Momori? Kuhaha.”
“Where do you think? I’m going to the inn. Puhuhuhu.”
“Ah, I see. Let’s go—! To the inn—!”
High-pitched singing followed. The faces of Momori and Tarmo were red like rabbits who had accumulated food. The drunk duo didn’t know where they were going. It was because they drank a lot of alcohol. In this way, they headed north without a plan.
“There are a lot of dirty monsters.”
“Shave their heads.”
They killed monsters along the way. This place really caused them to yawn compared to the monsters in Metheus. This was why the level of Mulan’s soldiers was so low. It was the law of the world for weak soldiers to protect weak places and strong soldiers to protect strong places.
“Let’s go there this time!”
“What type of monster’s head should I shave?!”
The two of them were heading to an unknown cave to the north of Mulan. Momori and Tarmo headed inside without fail. Strangely, the number of monsters was unusual. It didn’t feel like they were coming here to attack. Rather, they were running away from the inside? Yes. It felt like that.
“Tarmo. Isn’t it strange?”
“Yes, I honestly feel the same. What is this? Hiccup!”
The deep-eyed Tarmo frowned and stared into the darkness.
“Is it over there?”
“Um, let’s go.”
The two of them cleared up all the monsters and finally reached the end of the cave.
“This...”
“Is this?”
“Yes. It is ‘that’.”
Momori and Tarmo stared at the light and darkness in front of them. They were crying like they were resonating.

Meanwhile, Kim Sujeong led Ma Seokdu’s vigilante group and was searching the grass around Windia.
“Oppas! Collect the herbs from here to here! Ahh, really. Not there! It is here. Here!”
The time was a bit late but even so, Ma Seokdu and the other members of the vigilante group silently followed Kim Sujeong’s orders. It was a bit funny to see the big men moving here and there at the word of a delicate woman but strangely, Kim Sujeong controlled them very easily.
“No. Not that, something else! Pull this up. This!”
Kim Sujeong screamed as she raised her hand to show the herb she was holding. Members of the vigilante group moved to find the medicinal herbs Kim Sujeong mentioned.
“Ah, really. I’m going to die of annoyance.”
“Shut up, dude. In any case, these will be used to treat us. It isn’t just us. It will also be used for the sick. Stop talking nonsense and pull them up.”
“Che. If it wasn’t for Sister-in-law then I would be going back.”
Kim Sujeong was called ‘sister-in-law’ between them. It was because they saw that Kim Sujeong liked Ma Seokdu. However, the foolish bear-like Ma Seokdu didn’t notice it.
“Ah, this bear! I said not that one!”
Slap!
Ma Seokdu made another mistake and was hit by Kim Sujeong. He just laughed like a foolish bear. What type of weird laugh was this? The members of the vigilante group shook their heads. It happened at this time...
“What is that?”
Chiiiiing—!
A white light soared. The location wasn’t far from here. Ma Seokdu frowned and stared at the forest opposite him.
“What?”
It was near Ma Seokdu’s current location. He quickly ran to check the identity of the light.
“This...?”
It was a Star Fruit. The most valuable fruit in the game that was known for giving great power when eaten.
‘Can I become stronger if I eat this?’
Gulp.
Ma Seokdu gulped. Ma Seokdu had seen Choi Chuntaek and Park Muyeol fighting in the World Competition a while ago. How much had his blood boiled when he saw them fighting? To be honest, Ma Seokdu also wanted to be a Star Fruit eater. He didn’t know when he would get the chance, but he must definitely eat a Star Fruit. Now the opportunity came like this. To be honest, it was so sudden that it was a bit baffling.
“Cough.Cough cough.”
Ma Seokdu looked from side to side and put the Star Fruit in his mouth. Just then...
“Oppa!”
“Keok. Keeok!”
The surprised Ma Seokdu turned his head without swallowing the Star Fruit in his mouth. It was Kim Sujeong. “Oppa, what is that? Isn’t it suspicious? That light just now... was it a Star Fruit?”
Ma Seokdu shook his head without answering.
“What is it if it isn’t a Star Fruit? Did you eat it? Camille said it was a Star Fruit? Give me a minute. Where is it?”
Ma Seokdu shook his head as if he didn’t know. If he spat out the Star Fruit now, he would be beaten for being dirty and it would probably be stolen by Kim Sujeong. Kim Sujeong said his body was good for being hit and it was her daily routine.
“No, where is it, really? Aren’t you going to tell me? Aish. Really! You aren’t going to give it to me? Come out!”
Kim Sujeong’s fist slammed into Ma Seokdu’s lower abdomen.
Baaam!
Ma Seokdu might be strong, but he wasn’t wearing heavy armor right now, so he felt the strength of the blow.
“Groan...”
Gulp...?
“......?”
Kim Sujeong cocked her head.
