The tornado was swiftly getting bigger. In just several seconds, its diameter now covered almost half of the largest city in the world of LSO. The suction force of that tornado continued to increase so much that it rapidly destroyed and sucked in the small buildings that still remained.
The NPCs that couldn’t find something to properly hold on to experienced the same fate. Meanwhile, the players who were in that city were struggling with all their strength to hold on to anything firm with a foundation attached to the ground.
At that moment, almost all the players who were stuck in that location thought of taking the easiest way out and opened their HUD system before something horrible befell them.
They didn’t doubt that being sucked and torn inside that tornado would be painful.

“What’s going on?”
“Why can’t I log out?”
“My logout button isn’t working!”
[Access denied]
With the system bug that caused their logout button to stop working, the players stuck in the city of Eternity Kingdom quickly got more desperate and hysterical.
It was as if they were locked inside that world.
“Please stop this!”
“Who are you!?” a female player who could no longer hold on to a building wall shouted at the figure looking at the chaos under him with a neutral expression.
This disaster… he brought it.
Even after the player was sucked into the tornado, the figure didn’t respond. It was as if in his eyes, the player was no different from the rubble the tornado sucked in.
“Not yet,” the figure mumbled under the full-face Venetian mask.
His body heavily shook as he tried to control the disastrous energy. This was the first time he used a lost magic spell with such great disastrous energy.
Every lost magic in this world required something to be sacrificed in exchange, and for this one, he had to sacrifice his life.
[Black Hole]
The true power of that magic spell wasn’t apparent yet. However, without forcing himself to break his limit, he would never witness the true power of that lost magic.
“Give me more.”
[Absorbing Dragon’s Power]
The adolescent flying black dragon beside him emitted a very bright blue sapphire light from its spiky backbones, and after a few seconds, the blue light came out in the form of a light orb that immediately darted toward its master.
“Thanks, Alice. It’s time.”
He smiled under his mask before lifting his right hand toward the sky.
“This server will be enough for now.”
Krakkk—Booom!
[Divine Thunderbolt]
From the surface of the man’s right palm, lighting abruptly came out and struck up the sky. It was extremely fast and its flash of light was almost blinding.
In the next second, a painfully loud sound of a lightning strike filled the air.
At that moment, as if the lighting directed towards the sky was a weapon to attack the system directly, all the players who were online in the world of LSO simultaneously received a semi-transparent panel. Even the investigators who were using company-provided accounts were no exception.
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
“What’s happening!?”
“Come on. Whoever is joking, please stop.”
“This is scary.”
“I just wanna log out.”
The terror didn’t allow those who were in another city outside Eternity Kingdom to remain calm either.
Those who managed to escape by teleporting before the tornado appeared indeed saved themselves from the disaster in the Eternity Kingdom. However, this didn’t mean that they were safe from the terror. Their logout button also wasn’t working.
While the players on the NA server were filled with panic and fear, the semi-transparent screen in front of them suddenly glitched.
In the next second, a masked face appeared.
“Hahahaha. Scared yet?”
He was the one who caused all this chaos. None of the players there knew how, but the figure was speaking to all the players online through that screen.
Wasn’t he an ordinary player as well?
“Go! Log out and never come back!”
The voice that echoed all over the city terrified those who heard it even more. As if their mouths were completely shut, none of them dared to say a word when he spoke.
“You can’t, can you?”
“This is not just a game, this is about building a second life?” he imitated the famous quote of Ninecent’s founder. “Tell me, who among you wants a second life filled with terrors of death?”
“Hahaha.”
The figure was truly laughing at the fear of the desperate people below. They tried to cover their ears to block the man’s threatening words, but they could still hear his voice from everywhere.
Those who still hadn’t given up still attempted to log out from the unsafe game again and again, but it was all in vain. None of them could do it.
“Go! Quit this broken game system! Don’t ever think about coming back. Because when you do, you’ll forever be trapped between life and death. Like me.”
Crash!
The hand of the figure who was broadcasting live in the game slowly moved to take off the mask he was wearing. In the meantime, the tornado above the sky was still rumbling terrifyingly.
As the man was taking off his mask, the semi-transparent panel glitched once again. It was as if someone was interfering with the signal from the live broadcast that was forcing every player online to watch it.
Despite that, the external interference failed to stop the broadcast.
When the figure on the screen finally revealed his face in front of the invisible camera, he could hear screams all over the place.
Screams of surprise? Screams of disbelief at what they had just witnessed? Screams of joy?
That figure was none other than WynterRain.
His face, his body, and his voice were completely the same as the Yamaguchi Yuujin who was immensely famous in the gaming world as a genius professional gamer with all kinds of achievements all over the world before his death.
“No, this can’t be real!”
“Yuujin is still alive!”
“It’s him! It’s WynterRain! He’s alive!”
“I can’t believe this. Yuujin!? It’s Yuujin! Gosh, what is actually going on!?”
WynterRain didn’t say a word, but his gaze was full of determination.
He clenched his fists. His body was heavily trembling.
After several months of temporarily stopping his game-streaming activities, for the first time… he could once again look at everyone through a tiny camera lens.
The feeling of coming back excited him so much that he could hear his own heartbeat.
However, he still needed to confirm his true identity.
“I am WynterRain. I am a dead player.”
