At the capital of the Atlan Kingdom, Metheus...

Mido and other key figures gathered in a large hall to start a meeting about the current situation. The faces of those who gathered here were terrible. In addition to the Zeus Guild led by Michael and Daman, there was the Martial Arts Guild led by Zhen Sulong.

Various Star Fruit ability users who participated in the World Competition last year were also here. They saw that the Orca Kingdom was on the path to destruction and the Atlan Kingdom was rapidly rising, so they gained citizenship in the Atlan Kingdom ahead of time.

Those gathered here were the most powerful and influential people in the Atlan Kingdom, so to speak. The one presiding over such a meeting was Mdio, the granddaughter of the king of the Atlan Kingdom. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

On her left and right, Park Muyeol and Leslie were sitting with folded arms while releasing high pressure. For that reason, the people gathered here couldn’t treat Mido carelessly. It was because they knew the skills and personality of Park Muyeol and Leslie. If they did something unpleasant to her in front of them, the two men would rush over with killing intent.

“Helena. There is no information about my grandfather’s disappearance?”

“Yes. We mobilized the members of Argos and collected information from all over the continent... they haven’t found any clues about His Majesty. Joseph, the current leader is also missing.”

It wasn’t long ago that Joseph revealed he was the leader of Argos. He moved Argos’ base to the Atlan Kingdom and worked as a member of the Atlan Kingdom.

‘Grandfather...’

Mido bit her lip with a worried expression. It was natural as a family member. It was also no wonder due to the unusual events that happened recently. However, Mido quickly regained her composure and talked about other things first.

“Have you heard of anyone successfully logging out?”

At Mido’s words, the audience became quiet like cold water was poured on them. Mido sighed and said, “As expected.”She heard about the various disturbances caused by the inability to logout from the influential people in front of her.

The most serious were the sudden riots.

Helena explained it in a simple and clear way, “The current security of the Atlan Kingdom has reached a critical level. When those who are known as immortal humans realized they can’t logout, they couldn’t adapt to the fear. They are causing riots and a small number are committing murder or robbery.”

Mido nodded. She spoke sincerely to those in front of her, “I am not that great a person. I’m not as strong as you, nor do I have good items and a really high level. It is because of my grandfather that I became royalty. However, it is currently more urgent than ever. Everyone must’ve heard the outside news with the crystal ball?”

Everyone present nodded at Mido’s question. When the incident of the sudden inability to logout occured, Union issued an urgent apology and announced they would take special measures to resolve the situation as soon as possible. They would also provide appropriate compensation to all those who were affected.

However, that wasn’t the problem. Union announced that if users who were currently connected to the game were forced to logout, their brains connected to the capsule might be overloaded and they would die. In fact, they wished to hide it, but the moment the situation—the inability to logout—happened, thousands of users playing the game around the world died.

Union quickly issued a statement to prevent such casualties from increasing. They also issued a strong warning to users that they should never die in the game.

In other words, death in the game was death in reality. Everyone had trembled with fear at the shocking and horrifying comments.

“There absolutely can’t be murder between users. Riots should be subdued with the utmost strength, but don’t take their lives. I also heard that the fight between Jupiter and the goddesses has entered the final stage. As you all know from the videos shown by Union...”

Mido frowned with worry.

“Jupiter will win. We must work together to stop that Jupiter. There can’t be any more casualties.”

Union had shown in the news the fierce fight between the goddesses and Jupiter above the Atlan Sea. The players in the game were able to see it through the crystal ball and they could guess that the fight would end soon. The amazing thing was that the goddesses managed to drag things out to a day. It could be considered both a small yet big amount of time. In any case, they had to work together at a time like this.

“It is serious!”

At this time, someone opened the door and came rushing in.

“What’s going on? There is an important meeting right now.”

Leslie frowned and angrily scolded the knight who suddenly entered.

“Unknown people have appeared outside right now!” the pale-faced knight just shouted, seemingly uncaring of Leslie’s scolding.

“What does that mean? Tell me in detail.”

“That... I-I think you should come and see for yourself!”

Mido was surprised by the knight’s words and told those in front of her to go out together. Mido and her group looked down at the Atlan Kingdom from the heights of the royal palace. There, they saw a group of unexpected people.

“Aren’t they the orcs from the North Pole?’

“How did they come to this place?”

“I heard they only live in the North Pole...”

“Look over there! There are witches and wizards!”

A number of white lights appeared again. Humans from all over the world, living on different parts of the continents appeared. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

Park Maksun muttered with surprised eyes, “They all seem to have come through space movement. Who is using such advanced space magic? Based on this scale, it would be impossible without using all the magic power that my constellation has...”

As she was speaking, there was a huge burst of light in the sky. The person who appeared there was Hecatiana, the goddess of the moon and magic.

At the deep sea city of Atlantis...

Leviathan wasn’t the opponent of one of the original gods. In particular, Neptune’s strength after reclaiming the trident was comparable to Jupiter. Neptune was originally an NPC who was set to be Jupiter’s brother.

[I’m upset. My grand plan collapsed in vain...]

These were Leviathan’s last words. Kang Jaeseong pulled out the trident stuck in Leviathan’s chest and raised it high. The soldiers who fought shouted the name of the great Neptune.

Kang Jaeseong immediately gave orders to Clymene and Deucalion, [Treat the wounded and gather the army.]

[When should the troops be dispatched?]

[The sooner the better.]

[I understand. I will try to hurry as much as possible.]

Deucalion bowed and left. Kang Jaeseong couldn’t hide his proud heart. He had lived for a long time in the game. This place might be a virtual world, but he couldn’t hide his joy when he saw his grandson’s dignified appearance. It might be virtual, but what about his daughter, Clymene? She was the queen of Atlantis, but she didn’t care about her status. She didn’t hesitate to treat those who were injured.

[...Is this how rewarding it feels to raise a child? Ah, really. I’m not even married yet I built a family first in the game.]

Kang Jaeseong hadn’t met a partner because most of his youth was spent developing Arkstar. For him, Arkstar was life. Now Arkstar was facing its biggest crisis. It was clear that things would become really irreversible if he delayed. The army had to be gathered as quickly as possible to set off for the land. It was all over if they didn’t stop Lee Geonmyeong. For his life and the lives of his family, Clymene and Deucalion.

[Um? This aura...]

Just then, Kang Jaeseong felt a light energy from the fish swimming in the sea. The energy buried in the bodies of the fish was very familiar.

[...I think I need to go.]

Kang Jaeseong started swimming through the sea at a terrifying speed. He shot forward like a bullet, leaving an afterimage behind him. The merfolk soldiers below continued cleaning up the piranhas from the demonic world.

Meanwhile...

After being swallowed up by the black waves, I was crossing the calm sea again. The reason why the golden watch created the wave I was hit with was because it was expressing Kronus’ will in the pocket watch I was now wearing.

“This is the story of the founding of the Orca Kingdom. There is no need to look at it.”

I threw the remnant of time in my hand back into place. The remnants of the golden time floated on the water and drifted away. Currently, I was crossing the place called the Sea of Time. There were remnants of time in the misty fog all around. The man rowing in front of me told me that if I broke them, the things related to time would appear vividly in front of my eyes.

The unidentified man was wearing a very old robe and I couldn’t see his face. He was just rowing and didn’t look threatening so I left him alone. Every time he stopped, I touched the remnants of time to look for the past I wanted to see.

Kang Jaeseong said I would be able to find clues to the truth here, but I had yet to find it.

Was it a few hours? Suddenly, the unidentified man rowing looked at the remnants of time next to him and told me, “I think this is something you should see.”

“......”

I decided to believe in the man’s words. I didn’t know his identity, but he seemed favorable to me. I believed in the feelings of an old man who had lived for many years.

“Yes.”

I checked the information by grabbing the remnant of time. It was a hidden secret related to Ragnarok. The unidentified man didn’t say anything else, thus I broke the remnant of time in my hand. The remnant of time started to turn back time. So right in front of me, the tragedy of Ragnarok was recreated.

“......”

Exactly two hours later... I was so surprised that I couldn’t open my mouth. It was as Kang Jaeseong said yesterday, Jupiter—no, I realized why he called Lee Geonmyeong an enemy and Pluto an ally. The truth was heavy, cruel, and unbelievable.

“Honey...?”

Pluto had my wife’s face.
