“Fuck, what is that?”

A meteor was falling from the sky.

A really big Yooseong.

“Gu… Director, we need to evacuate!”

The security guard who was watching the scene from the side said in horror.

I am somewhat of a meteor expert. The reason is because I saw a lot of fucking rocks while accompanying Lily to her meteor bombing practice.

So I can know.

“It’s late. I can’t avoid it.”

Lily’s Meteor Bombing is an ignorant attack that launches a boulder made by clumping rocks or dirt into the stratosphere and then drops it with a force several times that of gravity.

It’s ignorant, but its power is considerable. The meteors that fell into the forest were among the smallest of those Lily dealt with, but even so, the forest was completely devastated.

What if the meteor gets bigger? If one stone is dropped, the village disappears.

So, what is the power of that meteor, which is the largest meteor I’ve ever seen?

“If it’s that big… The entire Eli will disappear.”

The meteor that wiped out a village may seem cute, but a rock with hundreds or thousands of times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb is now falling on our heads.

‘Eray Sifal.’

Actually, I was the one who told Lily to take a big hit.

It was clear that Roddy would get upset if he was pushed back.

But something that big is too much.

You need to know moderation.

‘Is it Retry again…? ‘

I’m sick of it.

*

Roddy grabbed Lily’s shoulder and shouted.

The easy-going smile he usually had on his face was gone, and only a distorted, desperate expression remained.

“Lily! Stop right now!”

“Villains deserve the death penalty!”

“Everyone will die!”

“Me too, I’m a villain too… ”

Lily passed out from exhaustion.

Puzzle—

A roadie grinding his teeth roughly.

He knew Lily was crazy, but he never imagined she would be this crazy.

‘Aren’t there people from the management bureau here too? And you have a sister there too? ‘Let’s all just die together?’

He couldn’t understand Lily’s thoughts at all.

No, it was questionable whether Lily had any thoughts in the first place.

‘shit… ‘

Roddy put aside all the meaningless thoughts and immediately thought about what to do with that boulder that was going to hit him in a few tens of seconds.

The only way he could think of was destruction.

Destruction is what Roddy is most confident in. Because his Gift was also focused on destruction.

I feel helpless in front of that huge boulder, so big that my head, which had been excited by the medicine, goes cold.

Then I suddenly remembered the last medicine left in my bag.

Scientists have issued a strong warning.

Do not use the medicine while it is already taking effect.

In short, it meant not using two medications at once.

Roddy had no intention of using the drug itself from the beginning.

Even though I saw people dying in horrible faces due to misuse, I just thought it was foolish.

But what should I do in the current situation?

If you don’t do anything, you’ll die anyway.

Therefore, it is wise to at least struggle.

But can you survive even if you struggle?

Even if I survive, will my body be okay?

The falling meteor did not give Roddy time to think.

Roddy concluded simply.

‘I will survive and prove my superiority.’

This is a test.

A test to prove that you are a superior being.

I administer the last medicine in my bag without hesitation.

I felt a foreign sensation, different from the sensation I felt when I first took the drug.

A pain that feels like your entire body is being torn apart.

I couldn’t control my strength.

Wow –

Roddy gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands to the sky.

Intense blue light gathered in the palm of my hand.

Rather than stop there, Roddy gathered all the strength from his body.

My palms were hot as if they were burning.

“At best… Like a rock…!”

Kwaaaang—!!!

With a tremendous roar, a flash cannon was fired.

The blue light was so vast that it enveloped the entire shooting star, brightening up the dark surrounding area.

Roddy didn’t even have the strength left to stand up, so he fell to his knees.

The bright light slowly faded away,

The falling meteor disappeared without a trace.

“Ha… ha ha ha… also… I am superior… ”

Even though Roddy had proven his superiority, he was not particularly happy.

Rather, it is only filled with emptiness and despondency.

Roddy was having a hard time even smiling slightly because he was putting all his effort into it, so he couldn’t turn his head even when he heard footsteps approaching from behind.

“… That’s amazing. I never thought they would get rid of that.”

A man’s voice I heard for the first time.

“I guess it was burned white?”

Roddy could tell without even looking back.

That the Director of the Management Bureau has arrived.

*

*

I could never have imagined that such a large meteor would be completely extinguished.

I was blindly heading towards where Lily was, thinking that I would have to retry, but suddenly a light appeared as if a flashbang had exploded, and before I knew it, the shooting star had disappeared.

When we arrived at the scene, Lily had collapsed and Roddy was barely breathing with a dazed expression, as if he had been burned white.

‘Where is Leon? Surely he’s not dead?’

This crazy game doesn’t even have a conscience when it comes to notifying the heroine of its death. It does not appear immediately after death, but only in situations where death can be recognized, such as by looking at a corpse.

So, after a fight like this, I feel quite scared when I look around the scene belatedly. Because when the body comes out, you have to retry later.

“Rodie, please say something.”

I squatted down in front of Roddy.

Roddy was looking at me blankly with an expression as if his soul had gone out.

“Management Bureau… Director…?”

He let out a word with difficulty.

“That’s right. I am the director.”

“Hmm… Hehe… Like this… you… To meet you… ”

“That’s right. That’s not a good thing. Looks like I’ll be behind soon.”

Even if I fight now, I think I will win.

“Rody, do you know how to play chess?”

Instead of answering, Roddy looked at me with a sad look in his eyes.

“The victory condition in chess is checkmate, not killing the king. It creates a situation where King cannot survive no matter what he does.”

He repeats what he said to Roddy in the previous route.

Roddy is still just looking at me without answering.

“The Underworld Federation, the New Knights, and the scientists were all wiped out. The banshee who gave you information is actually my henchman, and Robben, your follower, is quietly trapped in the shelter. I think the current situation is just checkmate. What do you think?”

“Phuhuh… ”

Roddy let out a bitter laugh. and,

“That’s right… Checkmate… I am… I lost. Perfect… It’s my defeat… ”

I readily admitted defeat.

As if that doesn’t matter anymore.

Has a brilliance come to his life?

I thought he would achieve a mental victory before he died, but he coolly admitted it.

Jumble-jump-

I heard footsteps getting closer.

A disgraced Leon was walking.

“…is it all over?”

Leon said after looking around.

“Yes. I think it’s the last time, why don’t we have an honest conversation between siblings?”

I got up and walked back so that we could have some alone time.

Leon slowly approached Roddy and stood behind him.

“……”

Leon looked down at Roddy in silence,

I gently hugged Roddy from behind.

‘Oh, is this a new drama?’

I watched the two in audience mode.

It’s a shame there’s no popcorn.

“Black… Ugh… ”

Leon begins to shed tears.

“The reason I’m a crybaby is… It’s still the same… ”

A calm smile appeared on Roddy’s face.

Although I couldn’t see Leon, I was a little surprised when I saw his facial expression.

‘But at the end, he smiles like a human being.’

It wasn’t the unpleasant smile he always wore, but a rather warm smile.

Roddy seemed to be squeezing out the last of his strength as he caressed Leon’s arm, which was wrapped around him, with his trembling hand.

And then he slowly uttered his last words.

“It’s been a while… like this… Hugging me… Warm–”

Wood-duk-

Leon broke Roddy’s neck.

Roddy’s lifeless body collapses.

It’s so merciless.

It’s like this crazy game.

Leon hugged Roddy’s body.

“Ugh… Black… Ugh… ”

Leon, who had been sobbing softly, let go and started crying loudly.

‘Goodbye, Roddy. ‘I’ll erect a tombstone at the bureau.’

I tried turning on the system notification list.

[Lion’s strategy progress has increased. (18 -> 30%) Acquire 600 strategy points]

[Leon’s favor level has increased. (2 -> 3) Acquire 100 strategy points]

[Lily’s strategy progress has increased. (90 -> 100%) Acquire 500 strategy points]

[Lily’s strategy progress achieved 100%. Obtain 3,000 strategy points]

‘Holy Sheep, how much is this?’

4,200 points were added, bringing the total to 42,280 points. You only need to collect 8,000 points…

‘under… It’s the damn vampire tentacle bitch that’s the problem.’

When you think about the points you need to use to defeat Karjen, even though you gained such a large amount of points, you are ultimately at a loss.

However, I can’t just leave it alone, so I’m going to be thrilled.

‘Anyway, this is just half of it.”

Completed targeting 10 out of 20 heroines.

The heroines that have been captured are all D-C classes and some B-classes.

The remaining two B-class and A-S class heroines are all in progress.

‘Ugh, only high-difficulty heroines remain.’

In simple terms, we are halfway there, but in reality, it will be less than halfway. The strategies for high-difficulty heroines are more complicated and take longer.

I opened the Heroine tab.

The profiles of 20 heroines are listed in a grid.

Among them, a total of 18 people have open profiles, and only two have locked profiles.

Strangely, these two never met even once throughout the entire route.

The heroine profile can be unlocked just by looking at her face, but since her face isn’t even shown, it’s unsettling in many ways.

‘In the past, Rusk, that damn little devil suddenly jumped out and I had to reset it.’

If you make a move openly, you will respond, but if you secretly plan something behind the scenes and explode into an irreversible situation, you will be completely reset.

That’s why I hate guys like Banshee who secretly plot things behind the scenes.

In any case, two people are still undiscovered, but their level of difficulty can be inferred.

This is because the Heroine tab is sorted by difficulty.

One of the locked guys is behind Rupiah and is S-rank.

The other one is ranked A because he is among the A class.

If you organize all the heroines by difficulty level,

3 Class D, 4 Class C, 5 Class B, 6 Class A, 2 Class S.

‘In the first place, the higher the difficulty, the less it should be, right? Sir, why does this game grow in an arithmetic sequence?’

If there were 7 people in the S class using arithmetic progression, I would have just given up on the game and all.

There are 7 people at the Rupiah level.

That’s not a game.

It’s hell disguised as a game.

‘Now that I think about it, isn’t it still hell in the first place? ‘Fuck, I can’t believe I’m lucky that there are two S-class people.’

Is this the fear of gaslighting?

Without realizing it, I thought it was natural that I was trapped in the game.

‘It makes me angry even to think about it again.’

The anger that I had no place to go to continued to build up.

Why do I have to go through this?

What did I do wrong?

‘Just meet that damn developer.’

What can I do, as the weakest person, to a developer who is a divine being?

In the end, it’s just meaningless swearing.

So how should we resolve this anger?

‘I guess I’ll have to screw up Karjen.’

I will pour out all the anger and resentment that has accumulated over the years and harass you with all my heart.
