A deserted alley.

A man with a scythe appeared silently.

‘Where is this?’

Ryu Min emerged from the alley and saw a peaceful village, solving his question.

‘This is the Albiz Kingdom.’

Unlike the clean Holy Empire, this city had a rough but somehow peaceful feel.

‘How come the starting location is different every time…’

There were so many starting points that, out of the 67 times he had experienced the 11th round, only a handful of places overlapped.

Isn’t it natural since it’s random?

‘Then why did I always get the same random rune fragment every time?’

While some random elements were different each time, others remained the same.

He couldn’t understand the system for that reason.

‘It doesn’t matter. Being in the Albiz Kingdom isn’t bad. Rather, it’s good.’

Ryu Min’s first quest target was the Forest of Labyrinth.

Fortunately, it wasn’t far from the Albiz Kingdom.

‘Shall I check people’s locations with clairvoyance first?’

Ryu Min had a skill he received as a special reward in the last round.

[Temporary Skill – Clairvoyance]

– Effect: Close your eyes and say the activation word to activate. A virtual eye appears, allowing you to see from a third-person perspective.

By thinking of the player’s nickname and face, you can immediately switch viewpoints.

‘Clairvoyance.’

Closing his eyes, he used the skill and saw himself from a third-person perspective.

Ryu Min, in third-person mode, thought of a person.

‘Min Juri.’

The viewpoint changed, showing Min Juri.

‘Min Juri ended up in the Holy Empire.’

She was quite far away.

It didn’t look like they’d meet easily.

‘Yamti.’

Thinking of her nickname and face, the viewpoint immediately shifted to above Yamti.

‘She’s also in the Holy Empire. Well, it doesn’t matter if she’s not available for this round.’

He considered using her if she was close, but it was too far.

Next, he checked Seo Arin, Heo Taeseok, Ma Kyung-rok, and An Sang-cheol’s locations one by one.

It wasn’t just curiosity about where they were.

He needed to read their positions and actions to assess if they would become variables in this round.

They might interfere with his quest in the Forest of Labyrinth.

‘Seo Arin and Heo Tae-seok are far away, so no worries, but Ma Kyung-rok and An Sang-cheol are close.’

Not only were they close, but they also seemed intent on tracking him down.

How did he know?

Because he could read their thoughts through clairvoyance.

‘Clairvoyance is like another version of me. My rune also applies to the clairvoyant perspective.’

He didn’t choose clairvoyance over the point buff for nothing.

He chose it because it was easy to read the opponent’s inner thoughts remotely and prepare in advance.

‘Ma Kyung-rok and An Sang-cheol plan to find me. They think they can gain something by sticking to me.’

That’s fine by him.

He had business with Ma Kyung-rok anyway.

‘He’s going to commit atrocities by massacring foreign players in this round. I need to deal with him in advance.’

Next, he checked the location of Jeffrey, who was controlled by Yamti.

As expected, he was far away and useless.

‘Is Ju Seong-tak doing well?’

He had instructed Ju Seong-tak, who became a slave due to a duel, to find him no matter where he landed.

Since he knew the face of the Black Scythe from before becoming a slave, tracking was not an issue.

It seemed he had observed him from afar.

‘Fortunately, he’s coming as well.’

Seeing Ju Seong-tak running toward him, Ryu Min smiled.

To obtain an item in the Forest of Labyrinth, he needed Ju Seong-tak’s help.

Finally, Ryu Min turned his view to Christine.

He knew her nickname, and having seen her customized face before, finding her was not difficult.

‘She’s already in contact with two people.’

Christine was with two people who seemed to be her followers.

They must have been close by at the starting point.

But you shouldn’t be complacent.

‘Those two are why he said Christine was in danger.’

The threats were coming from a cult called ‘Despair Church.’

The leader of Despair Church was America’s only necromancer, John Delgado.

Under his lead, Despair Church aimed to kill Christine.

‘Reading their thoughts, one is from Despair Church, and the other is a traitor colluding with him.’

The most trusted ones were spies and traitors.

That’s why Christine will die in the 11th round.

‘The story would be different if I intervened.’

He knew who the enemies were, but there was no need to act right away.

The order to kill hadn’t been given yet, and the Despair Church would act once they gathered their forces.

‘That means there’s still time.’

During that time, Ryu Min planned to proceed with the quest with Ju Seong-tak.

He had to obtain an essential item from the Forest of Labyrinth.

It was an item that allowed him to conceal his nickname.
