Above the distant sky.

A ruler’s seat from which one can overlook everything that happens in the world at a glance.

A huge table set among blooming flowers under the hot sun.

In front of him, a man and a woman faced each other and talked.

“It’s been a while.”

A man awkwardly laughs at the words of a woman who put down her teacup.

“Please understand. Since the work is almost over, no matter how much time I divide, it’s not enough.”

It was the truth, without any excuses.

The man, Chris Emir, was having a very busy time.

Despite the long hours of work, accidents and incidents continued to occur.

Sometimes we overcome this and succeed in our operations, but there are also many cases where we fail miserably.

The cause of failure is Kim Do-jin.

Every operation that took place where he appeared ended in bitter failure.

At this point, I wonder if this isn’t a human trait sent by heaven to stop my achievements.

It’s heartbreaking, but it’s okay.

Because I know that no matter how much effort I put into preparing something, I cannot completely rule out the possibility of failure.

But this time was an exception.

In the end, the one standing last is the winner, and the one who falls down dead is the loser.

The end is approaching, the moment of defeat, when everything ends.

If you win, you have everything, if you lose, you have nothing and end up with nothing. It’s either nothing or everything.

In order to win that one moment, he had not slept for a month already, pouring all his time into checking the operation.

The woman heard this and nodded with a smile.

“Yeah, I know.”

As I slightly moved my head, his face came into focus with his jet-black eyes that seemed to shine with the luster that flowed from his voluminous black hair.

“I know you’ve done well so far, and that you’ve come closer to your accomplishment than anyone else.”

As she continued to speak softly, an irresistible majesty began to emanate from her body.

A handful of land placed in the distant sky.

She who rules over all things there was a god.

Always the one who is the highest, holds the most, but never has it all.

A person with ideals higher than the sky, who is never satisfied and wants to have everything in this world in his/her hands.

Superbia, the goddess of pride.

“That’s why you can still have exclusive conversations with her.”

She smiled and showed her cruel nature without any hesitation even to her most beloved apostle.

The smile itself was gentle, but the meaning behind it was extremely ferocious.

Chris noticed this and bowed his head towards her.

“Please wait a moment. The day I give this world to you is not far away.”

Even if you say you’re giving up the world, nothing will change.

She will reign over a world of those who only worship her, and it will be up to her to effectively rule the world on her behalf, as she cannot directly interfere.

That is why I could say that with true awe.

“Is that really so?”

Her thoughts seemed a little different.

“Do you know when the world is at its darkest?”

“… Just before the sun rises.”

“That’s right. And I think now is the time.”

The moon has made way for the sun, and the sky is darker than ever before at dawn, empty of anything as the sun prepares to rise.

At first glance, that moment filled with darkness is nothing more than a wait for the rising sun.

“The world is in chaos of unprecedented scale.”

Hexagram and its leader, Chris Emir, have been showing off their presence by running wild in the United States.

His presence became a rallying point for antisocial criminals.

This means that the habit of those who always insist on fighting alone or in small groups and then get defeated has been completely erased, and linkages have been made possible.

As a result, the scale and frequency of terrorism has increased to an absurd degree, and the sudden chaos has not been properly managed, resulting in numerous casualties and property damage.

This was a golden opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and turn the world upside down by carrying on his back those who had turned against him.

But Superbia pointed that out.

“Is this chaos really an opportunity for us?”

Chris remained silent, trying to figure out her intentions.

What on earth is she trying to say?

He nodded confidently and answered while thinking about it.

“It is clear that this is a great opportunity for us.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

However, we must consider whether this can completely lead to victory.

Didn’t I say that before?

They say it’s darkest just before the sun rises.

The same goes for opportunities.

Because a golden opportunity can turn into a do-or-die crisis with just one gap.

Through this, he realized what she was trying to say.

“Are you worried about Kim Do-jin?”

Her smile deepens.

“I like you because you communicate well.”

He laughed bitterly.

It was because I realized that the things I used to say without thinking whenever I talked to Kim Do-jin were habits I had developed from her.

“He, seen through your eyes… was truly a foreign being.”

She still vividly remembers the first time she met him.

“He was an unpredictable person. He seemed good but was evil, innocent but greedy, wise but reckless… He acted more instinctively than anyone else, but in itself was rational.”

A human being who, if put into any category, immediately jumps out, so he can be anything and at the same time, nothing.

There was a time when I drooled looking at him like that.

I even thought about boldly discarding the pack called Chris Emir and taking him.

But soon I stopped.

I realized this while watching Kim Do-jin opposing my apostle.

‘That’s a person that no one, no one can handle.’

A person who is willing to give up his life when his life is threatened, and who would rather die together than compromise or surrender when those around him are threatened.

What’s the point of ruling the world through such a person if you can’t actually rule him?

So she had no choice but to make him her enemy.

And as expected, he became the biggest obstacle blocking my path and that of my apostles.

“How do you plan to deal with him?”

Chris looks embarrassed at her question.

“To be honest…, nothing has been decided yet.”

I thought of all the possible numbers.

Among them, there were options that I was confident would be enough to kill him.

But I didn’t reach out rashly.

“Since the opponent is my opponent, I will choose my numbers more carefully.”

Because we have seen Kim Do-jin overcome unfavorable conditions and win several times so far.

“Good to see. Not arrogant, but careful.”

Superbia smiles with a satisfied face.

This was also the reason why she had the highest expectations for Chris.

The cleverness and tenacity to build a winning strategy using every available number.

That’s why she willingly gave him advice.

“If it’s hard to deal with, there’s also a way not to deal with it.”

“… If there is no way to deal with it.”

There was a method that came to mind, but she didn’t bother to bring it up.

Because I believed that my apostle would be able to recall the method I had thought of.

Trial and error will inevitably occur.

But that too will become the cornerstone for his complete dominance.

He quickly thought of a number, smiled, and lowered his head.

“Thanks to you, I got a good idea.”

His head began to spin violently.

* * *

It’s like adding insult to injury.

Adding insult to injury.

I thought things would be a little easier after suffering through the infidelity issue, but it wasn’t.

“Wow…, here you come, the greatest adulterer.”

“Should I just call him Hee-Bul-Nom for short?”

“That’s not bad.”

“… … .”

I forgot for a moment.

The fact that Jeong-hee isn’t the only woman I have to take responsibility for.

Some of them were completely unaware of my female relationships.

and.

“Is it good? Is it good? Is it good to be like that with my mom?”

There are people who already knew everything but still try to turn me inside out.

“That’s really great… . So, that… , you’re dating both a mother and a daughter at the same time… ?”

Im Na-eun asks with a blush on her face, as if it’s embarrassing to even say it out loud.

“I believed, I believed, I believed, I believed, I believed.”

Elena sits in the corner of the conference room with her legs together, gritting her teeth in betrayal.

“… … .”

Son Seo-yeon just bows her head without saying a word.

and.

“boooo.”

Even Han Joo-yeon puffed out her cheeks and glared at me, asking how I could do this to her.

“Hehehe.”

As I took in all those sights, sweat ran down my back.

I want to run away.

But it wasn’t a problem that could be solved by avoiding it.

This is what I did, and everyone is a part of the picture I will be drawing in the future.

“Ah, I have to live as a concubine now because I was pushed out by my mother.”

“Not being able to get married is a bit… , but.”

“… … .”

They complain about their marriage problems.

At this very moment, I banged the desk lightly and shouted to get their attention.

thud!

“Don’t worry about that!”

“Ouch, surprise!”

He continued speaking, ignoring the glares from Shin Yu-jeong, who was so surprised that she almost fell over.

“The government said that if it becomes SS-level, it will allow polygamy?! They said they are preparing it now, so just wait a little bit…!”

Knock knock!

Knock!

Before I could even finish speaking, my teammates kicked their chairs away and stood up without saying a word.

Shin Yu-jeong, who ran ahead, shouts.

“Hey, step on me-!”

“… … !”

The bread is flying.

Phew!

“Cough… !”

I couldn’t avoid it so I got hit, and the pain was considerable.

It seems like he really didn’t care about the circumstances and just beat me up.

My teammates surrounded me and started stomping on me as I fell to the ground.

“Die, die!”

“Ah, no matter what, polygamy… .”

“If you’re going to say something like that, at least confess first…!”

puck!

Phew!

Kwajik!

“Wow… !”

The power behind the kick is extraordinary.

It looks like he’s really angry.

How do I release it?

It was at that time that I was struggling to figure out a way to overcome the difficulties in the midst of pain.

Knock knock!

Someone knocked on the door.

“Who are you!”

Shin Yu-jeong shouts nervously.

Then the door opened.

“Folding.”

The person who opened the door and came in was Yoon Ji-an.

“I came here to speak to someone who came to see the guild leader.”

Me, who has fallen, and my teammates who surround me and trample on me.

Seeing this, she quickly grasped the situation and continued speaking.

“10 minutes.”

“… … ?”

“I’ll tell the guest that it will take about 10 minutes. So please finish before then.”

After saying that, Yoon Ji-an goes outside.

It was when I was blankly staring at her as she left with a blank expression.

“Ah.”

As if she had forgotten something, she comes in again and opens her mouth.

“If possible, please avoid hitting the face.”

“… … .”

“That’s it.”

The door is closed.

And my life too.
