[You have completed the Legendary-tier story, 『The Wandering Youth’s Revenge』.]

[Rewards will be given.]

[Due to the hidden Almighty quest, 『Succession of the Lord of the Dead』, you have obtained a clue related to the 『Lord of the Dead』.]

[Experience has been converted into a clue for the 『Lord of the Dead』.]

[You have fulfilled the recommended reading quota of the Legendary-tier Library.]

[You now meet the conditions for the Almighty-tier Library.]

[You may now enter the Almighty-tier Library.]

‘Oh.’

It was a bit disappointing not to receive experience points.

But experience could be gained again.

Right now, the succession of the Lord of the Dead was far more important.

After all, he had witnessed the exact moment Will Baghdad awakened as the Lord of the Dead.

No wonder he obtained a clue.

As Seong smiled in satisfaction while thinking about that, he and Babaros exited the book together.

“Phew. That was quite a long one.”

“Seriously.”

They still had more playtime left than expected.

It was just past lunch.

But both Seong and Babaros shook their heads wearily.

Seong had built up quite a bit of fatigue while dealing with the high-ranking demon Serumagra, and Babaros wasn’t in any better shape.

Even the dozens of low-ranking demons swarming in weren’t pushovers.

Considering that, it made sense for both of them to be exhausted.

Seong noticed it and asked Babaros,

“Shall we stop here for today?”

“Ah...”

Babaros looked visibly disappointed.

But he nodded as if he had no choice.

“Yes, I suppose we should. Haa... it’s just such a good story I want to jump into the next one right away, but oh well.”

The next tier was none other than Almighty.

Frankly, even Legendary had been this tough.

Almighty? He couldn’t even imagine.

So Babaros had no choice but to agree to the suggestion of saving it for later.

They were too drained to tackle the next quest anyway.

Hearing that, Seong nodded and said,

“Good work. Let’s meet again tomorrow at 9 PM Korean time.”

“Yes! Sounds good! You too, Seong-nim, great work today! I swear the aftershock from fighting that high-ranking demon reached us all the way here!”

Seong gave an awkward smile, slightly embarrassed by the compliment, and bowed his head lightly.

“Ah... thank you.”

“See you tomorrow then.”

“Yeah, take care.”

After exchanging farewells with Babaros, Seong logged out and came out of the capsule.

Too tired to even look at the logout message, he immediately stumbled out.

It wasn’t quite as exhausting as the duel with the Swordmaster.

Still, it wasn’t exactly easy either.

‘Whew.’

He could honestly say he had barely won.

If he hadn’t realized the true power of the Lord of Terror at the last moment and reversed the roles of terror and his other lord powers, he might’ve lost.

Mentally, he was worn out.

He had to think constantly throughout the entire battle.

So when Seong stepped out, the area outside his room was still quiet—it was just past lunchtime.

He usually skipped lunch when playing games anyway.

Rather than hunger, he felt fatigue first and collapsed onto his bed.

‘Let’s rest today.’

He had gathered a lot of information and fought plenty.

He deserved a break.

As soon as he laid down—

The moment didn’t last long before the sound of snoring filled the room.

Seong had already fallen into deep sleep.

Lee Won-sang and Oh Jin-hyuk, who had been watching Seong’s battle, were left speechless in awe.

He had single-handedly taken down a hidden raid boss whose name was colored black.

In other words—

“You’re telling me he overcame a level difference of over 100? That means he’s basically at single-ranker level now, right???”

At Oh Jin-hyuk’s remark, Lee Won-sang looked at him like he’d said something idiotic.

After level 300, level restrictions become meaningless anyway.

Even double-rankers currently were in the 300–400 range, so to say Seong had reached single-ranker strength was absurd.

And yet... why?

Lee Won-sang found himself unable to argue with Oh Jin-hyuk.

The Serumagra Seong had just defeated—even if not quite single-ranker level—had shown strength equivalent to a double-ranker boss.

At least three double-rankers would’ve been required to take it down.

But Seong, barely in the 240s, had taken it out.

Originally, the scenario called for Will to be protected while escaping the mine as fast as possible.

Who would’ve thought he’d clear it head-on?

Even Lee Won-sang was stunned.

Seong had overwhelmed a high-ranking demon like Serumagra with sheer power.

“He’s pretty incredible, that’s for sure.”

“Right? Man, I’m still buzzing from it.”

“His combat sense is really something else.”

“There’ll be a video uploaded, right?”

“Of course.”

Even Lee Won-sang, who used to be critical of Seong, was now speaking with a hint of admiration, while an excited Oh Jin-hyuk was rambling—until he suddenly turned at a presence behind him.

“H-HIIK!?”

Startled, he let out a squeal.

Lee Won-sang, confused, followed his gaze.

“What’s the— huh?”

And there she was, staring at them with witch-like eyes.

Team Leader Ji Hye-jeong of the E-World User Management Team.

“What are you two doing, Deputy Lee Won-sang, Associate Oh Jin-hyuk?”

Her voice was cold, sharp as frost.

The two immediately flinched and swallowed hard.

But Ji Hye-jeong’s gaze was locked far more harshly on Lee Won-sang than on Oh Jin-hyuk.

Oh Jin-hyuk gets scolded all the time.

It was expected.

He’s just an associate, after all.

Being inexperienced explains some mistakes.

But Lee Won-sang?

That was unacceptable.

Her glare said as much.

There are always slackers in any office, but the way he was wasting time was just too obvious.

Looking utterly guilty, Lee Won-sang quickly said,

“S-sorry. I’ll get back to work right now.”

“Sigh. Yes, Seong is important—but don’t let your other tasks pile up.”

Leaving that warning behind, Ji Hye-jeong turned back to her seat.

Afterward, both Lee Won-sang and Oh Jin-hyuk sighed in relief and shook their heads.

“I thought we were doomed.”

“...Right. Let’s just get back to work.”

“Yes, sir!”

As the two returned to their duties, checking other users—

Ji Hye-jeong sat back down with a sigh.

‘When will the video be uploaded...?’

With that thought, she opened the Rapid Guild’s MeTube channel.

Seeing Seong’s newly posted video, she smiled brightly.

‘I’ll just watch this while I work.’

And thus, Team Leader Ji Hye-jeong, too, shamelessly joined the ranks of office slackers.

HUUUUNG—

WUUUUNG—

The repetitive vibration made Seong frown in his sleep and rise groggily.

Was it his phone?

When he got up, he saw his constantly buzzing phone.

Half-asleep, he picked it up and saw a familiar name.

[Lee Geon-dong]

‘Geon-dong?’

What’s with him calling out of the blue?

Still confused, he answered.

[Oh? He finally picks up.]

“...?”

Hearing Geon-dong’s voice immediately made Seong more alert.

Soon, a flurry of noisy voices could be heard through the receiver.

[Oh? Seongie???]

[What’s he saying? Is he coming?]

[He hasn’t said anything yet! Hey, hey, Seong.]

It was chaotic.

But all the voices were familiar, and Seong couldn’t help but smile.

It had been a while, but they were voices he’d known for years.

They were the voices of Geon-dong, Wang Chan-woo, and Kim Young-min—

Friends since middle school, all the way through high school.

Even in college, they stayed close.

Since Seong was the last to finish military service, they hadn’t met recently.

“Yeah, I just woke up from a nap.”

[Huh? You were napping at this hour???]

“Yeah, I was tired so I went to bed early.”

He glanced at the time.

It wasn’t even 5 PM yet.

Around 4:40, maybe?

What were they doing gathering before dinner?

Chuckling to himself, Seong heard Geon-dong ask:

“So we’re all here—can you come?”

[Haha, knew you’d get it right away. So can you?]

“Yeah, send me the location.”

[Okay, I’ll drop the pin! Hurry over!]

[Oh!? Seong’s coming?]

[Whoa!!! We’re about to see a celebrity!!!]

[Ugh, shut up, why are you all yelling at me? You call him then!]

[Seong, hurry up!!!]

[I brought autograph papers so get ready to sign, man!!]

A wave of chaos washed over and passed.

After the call ended, Seong laughed to himself.

He thought about just heading out right away...

...but looking at his bed hair and face, he figured he’d better clean up first.

They’d understand.

As he stepped out into the living room, he locked eyes with his mom, Lee Na-gyeong, who had just started preparing dinner.

“Oh my~? Seongie, you’re heading out~?”

She must’ve heard the phone call—she immediately caught on.

Seong replied,

“Yes, my friends asked me to come out. I’ll probably eat dinner with them.”

“Oh my~? That’s rare~ Alright then, come back whenever~”

“Haha... okay.”

Her excitement was clear—her son, who was always home, was finally going out.

Knowing how happy that made her, Seong answered awkwardly and went to wash up.

As he did, his mother muttered a little sadly,

“I thought it was a date with that young lady~”

But of course, Seong didn’t hear her.

Anyway, the nap had fully recharged him.

Even the lingering fatigue washed away in the shower.

After washing up, he applied lotion, dried his hair, and noticed how much it had grown since his discharge—he felt quite pleased.

Then he went into his room to change and checked his phone.

[Lee Geon-dong – Come to Seongsan Galbi! We’re at the café in front waiting! We’re not drinking tonight, so you can bring your car. Young-min brought his too.]

Seeing Geon-dong’s message, Seong chuckled.

He’d just bought a car anyway.

He texted back “Got it,” then got dressed and headed to the parking garage.

There it stood: the crimson Ferrari Roma he’d bought recently—an officially certified pre-owned Ferrari.

He had considered a full-blown sports car, but his older sister Yu Mina had suggested a sedan-like Roma instead.

He hadn’t driven it yet.

But he loved its elegant, beautiful curves.

Starting it up—

VROOOOOM—!

The exhaust wasn’t as loud as expected—it even sounded refined and pleasing.

Feeling good, Seong rolled out, his Ferrari Roma gleaming in the fading daylight.
