Side Story: GM’s Card (1)

    Bang!

    “You filthy worms should pay them back!”

    A rough-looking man with a sporty haircut slammed his fist into the wall, causing a deafening crash.

    Cracks snaked across the surface.

    The guild master protested in despair.

    The leader of Security Force—a rapidly expanding organization—grabbed the guild master by the collar and lifted him effortlessly.

    Even the Sword Emperor, a legendary figure, had been captured for ignoring such warnings.
    Although he had previously acted with impunity, the Sword Emperor was only recently released and now lived cautiously.

    “A floor where disputes can only be settled through duels… What an annoying place.”

    However, to someone who thrived on raw strength, the 37th-floor rules felt alien and oppressive.

    “Let’s see.”

    “Oh, a rare card!”

    “Alright, I’ll waive today’s interest. But make sure to pay up tomorrow.”

    “Our deck is more precious than our lives!”

    Why had he meticulously exploited loopholes within the system?

    Through cunning and strategic expansion, he would claim Paraisos and seize the divine cards containing the GM’s power.

    “Ah, I see. You must be the guy ambushing players at night and stealing their rare cards. The ‘Assassin in the Shadows,’ was it?”

    ‘If this guy has been hoarding rare cards, taking him down will catapult me to the top tier.’

    “My men are loyal enough to break city rules on my command, even if they face punishment. Crushing you here is child’s play.”

    But his composure shattered when the man revealed a card.

    “That… That’s a divine card!”

    It seemed the same fate had befallen the boss before them.

    She sprang up and answered the call respectfully.

    On top of that, the Master had entrusted her with a Divine Card imbued with their divine power.

    She had no excuses.

    How adorable and benevolent the Master was!

    It was like any other game from Father, featuring titles and other rewards, with summonable entities that materialized as vividly as reality.

    Rumors spread that collecting these cards would grant the winner a wish from Father.

    Among them was Daidalos, a rare card hunter.

    Unlike the others, her unparalleled talent for card games led Dua to entrust her with one of her own Divine Cards.
