The screen was white. It was due to the waterfall made of light. The light was in the shape of an arrow. All the Sudden Force Guild members within range had to die as they watched the stars falling from the sky.

-Amazing!The power of the Icarus Guild is amazing!

-It is a perfect connection!Eun Jeonghyeok had been hiding his must-kill skill!

-It’s so beautiful.A baptism of really beautiful light!It feels like I’m going blind!

Indeed, the commentators said that the waterfall-like arrows of light had the additional ‘blindness’ effect. As a result, the Sudden Force members died from the light falling from the sky without knowing the location of the enemy. All the enemies disappeared and endless shouts erupted from the audience. It was like the Korea-Japan World Cup held in 2002.

-Ahh, Eun Jeonghyeok has fallen to one knee due to magic power exhaustion.

-He seems to have poured out all his remaining magic power.

-It is still great.He played really well today.

-I think the judges have definitely seen Eun Jeonghyeok.I will cautiously predict that this will make it easy for him to be selected as a Korean representative player.

However, this judgment might’ve been too hasty. There was a gunshot and the kneeling Eun Jeonghyeok was hit in the heart and fell forward.

-Ahh!What’s going on?The game hasn’t ended yet!

-There is one more member of the Sudden Force Guild.A player has secretly ambushed him!

-It is really a shame.Still, his performance was really refreshing and exciting.

-That’s right.If you had to ask me about the most prominent player in today’s selection, I would say Player Eun Jeonghyeok.

-Oh, Player Eun Jeonghyeok’s capsule is opening.In the end, he died.He seemed to have been caught off guard by the way he smiled and shook his head.

-Smiling in this situation is very impressive.

The audience applauded him.

Clap clap clap!

They didn’t spare their praise for Eun Jeonghyeok, who struggled hard. They also didn’t forget to clap for Mido, who fought hard despite dropping out a bit earlier. Today, the Icarus Guild fought to the best of their ability. For some reason, I felt proud and a sense of belonging. I only just joined it, but I was also a member of Icarus.

“It is more interesting than I thought? The World Competition.’

Park Muyeol, who was sitting to my right, was intrigued. My daughter-in-law saw it and spoke to him, “Our Mido was very disappointed. It would’ve been very helpful if you participated. I am sorry as well. I really wanted to see you fighting... Oh, I’m also a fan. Hoho.”

Kim Mikyung laughed shyly while covering her mouth like she was embarrassed.

“Kuhaha! Do you want my signature?”

“Can you please? I will treasure it as the treasure of the family.”

Kim Mikyung and Park Muyeol laughed with each other.

I grumbled at Park Muyeol with an expression of dissatisfaction. “What treasure of the family? It is an honor just to have your name mentioned a few times.”

“Oh my, Father, don’t you know? You are a spy if you don’t know the name ‘Park Muyeol’ that has been on TV these days.”

“Then I’m a spy?”

“Hoho. Father, really. That’s not what I meant.”

I felt strangely jealous as I crossed my arms. It was strange that he was more popular than me. It was the same with my daughter-in-law and Mido. I wasn’t happy. Just then, the commentators’ cries were heard.

-The game is over!With this, the finals of the Arkstar Korean national team selection has ended!

* * *

Two days passed after the selection was completed. I was spending my days as usual. Every morning, I went out to exercise and I didn’t neglect to level up. Therefore, today I decided to eat with my family for the first time in ages. It was because Mido received a call that she had been chosen as a national representative of Arkstar. She was narrowly chosen as the ninth starter. Apparently, Eun Jeonghyeok was the first starter and Kim Hyeonu was eighth.

Meanwhile, Park Taehyeon wasn’t selected so he drank alcohol.

“Congratulations, Mido.”

“Our daughter, well done~!”

“Hmm. I’m jealous. Congratulations, Noona.”

I was now at home celebrating Mido’s selection. Choi Jeonghyun, Kim Mikyung, and Choi Jeongdo congratulated Mido in turn. Now it was my turn. I didn’t speak for long. Sometimes it was better to show things in action than words. “Cough. Well done. Bbyong bbyong ?”

Mido laughed as I made finger hearts with both hands. “Hahaha!”

The family members also burst out laughing. My face burned red and I coughed a few times. Then I hurriedly lit the candles on the cake in front of me. Mido continued to laugh like it was funny.

“Stop laughing and blow it out.”

“Pfft. Grandfather. Really... Kuhuhu. Thank you. Hoooo..”

Mido blew out all the candles. The family clapped and celebrated her being selected for the national team. The party lasted for 30 minutes. I had now already entered the world of the game. The place I was standing at now was my own space, the lord’s office. The good thing about becoming a lord was that I could move through space to the lord’s residence once a day.

I flew from Vulcan lava field to Metheus in an instant and I could always return to the lava zone due to the designated return stone Aren had given me. I opened the information window of Metheus after a long time.

[[Metheus][Small Town]

-The residents of Garbage Village are proud to see Metheus flourishing.

-The Sylphid Knights are struggling to maintain security in the expanded Metheus.

-The priests who worship Huera are delighted and are gathering at the temple built in Metheus.

-Soldiers are being trained at the barracks. There aren’t enough instructors to train them.

-There are 16 days left until the siege feature is opened.

-An alliance with Windia has been signed.]

“I have so much to do.”

Metheus was growing at a faster rate than I thought. All of this was probably due to the inhabitants of Garbage Village and Helena’s outstanding leadership. To be honest, all I did was accept them.

“By the way...”

Many people were naturally gathering in Metheus. The only thing I could do to help Metheus was to act as the enigmatic Dark Wolf. Some of the users only came to see me.

“What should I do first?”

The taxes were set by Helena so there was no need for me to touch it. In fact, I didn’t want to do it if I didn’t have to, but there was a matter to discuss with Helena. The more important thing was...

“It is this.”

I moved at once.

* * *

I watched the scenery of Metheus and it wasn’t until sunset that I arrived at the barracks where the Sylphid Knights stayed. I saw a familiar back. I ran heartily toward him and smacked him in the back.

“Ugh. Who is it?!”

All of the Sylphid Knights pulled out their weapons at Kerenos’ shout. Then they discovered me and put away their weapons with a smile. Kerenos’ face turned red with anger. “What is this about, old man?!”

“Shut up. I want to talk to you for a moment.”

“No, why all of a sudden? I was trying to say something important!”

“Is that so?” I asked Becker, who was standing next to Kerenos.

Becker shook his head and smiled.

“No, it wasn’t important. It was just normal nagging.”

“Did you hear?”

“Becker, you...”

“The two of you can talk. We are going to patrol.” Becker led the knights away with a casual expression.

Some of the knights were giggling. Maybe they found it amusing that I hit Kerenos’ back.

“Hah...”

“The ground will fall. This guy. Don’t sigh.”

“Who is the one who made me sigh?”

I dug at my ear with my right hand. “I'm not sure.”

“Ack. This old man!” Kerenos shouted in my ear. Anyone who saw it would say that he didn’t respect the elderly. Kerenos complained, “No, why hit me at such an important moment? You made me look really shabby. Aish.”

This brat was cute. Was he pouting?

I asked him, “By the way, are you struggling these days?”

“Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden?”

“Is there anything difficult at work? For example, you are having difficulty maintaining security, or you have no instructors.”

“How did you accurately pick up on these two points? Did you practice reading people’s minds these days?”

“Well, it is similar.”

I shrugged lightly. I couldn’t explain to an NPC that I had Metheus’ information window. He wouldn’t understand.

Kerenos replied, “Yes, there are many difficulties as Metheus has developed.”

“Tell me.”

“As you said earlier, there aren’t enough instructors to train the soldiers in the barracks. We are doing it, but then we don’t have enough manpower for patrolling and keeping peace.”

“So you want to increase your manpower?”

“Is it possible?”

I told him, “We have to find a way. Otherwise, we can ask the rebels.”

“Will the rebels help? It will mean revealing themselves.”

“That is true, but...”

I thought about it while touching my beard. Then what should we do? I wanted to deal with this problem as soon as possible. Only then would I be able to watch the World Competition that Mido was competing in with no worries.

Kerenos murmured, “In fact, I have an idea...”

“Huh? What is it? Tell me.”

Keronos paused before speaking, “There is a vigilante group in Metheus.”
