ED:

Go, go, go, space the space is locked!

Crazy, damn it?! The monster is controlling the space-

Poof, amidst this chaos, someones head flew off.

Armored High-Trolls began to charge with a ferocious cry. Having lost their commander, and in the face of relentless one-hit attacks from an unidentified source, the guild members of Rush couldnt possibly engage in proper combat.

Recording a video at least

Poof!

It took less than 15 minutes for the entire elite force of Rush, a large guild led by Fibiel that had previously conquered the first Demon Kings stronghold, to be annihilated.

Kijung was continuously receiving information about Middle Earth through Taeil. Therefore, he was well aware of this incident, which had stirred the entire Middle Earth community and achieved 10 million views on YouTube in just two days.

Leeha lying in bed, and Kijung holding a tablet.

Both were intently focused on the screen as if being drawn into it.

The video quality was somewhat poor, and many users employed screenshots and video recording prevention items, making it difficult to discern the content clearly.

-Carut- Human- Carruruk?! Run-like-go!

-Go, go, go, space the space is locked!

-The monster is controlling the space-

However, the key scenes of Rush guild members dying due to the rampaging monsters and unidentified attacks were clearly captured, sufficiently shocking the viewers.

The video itself was less than 6 minutes long, but its implications were far from trivial.

High-level users capable of forming an expedition to the new continent, that too 100 members from the same guild, perfectly synchronized in team play from countless raids, were completely wiped out.

Despite watching it three times, the two hadnt spoken a single word.

Leeha, in his own way, and Kijung, in his own way, seemed to understand something from the video.

Hyung. You havent logged into Middle Earth recently, have you?

What?

No, of course not. It couldnt be you.

You think I did this?

It resembles your attack style. In the video, they seem to think its an invisible assassin but in such a case, it rather looks more like long-range sniping.

Kijungs eyes sparkled. He knew better, having seen Leehas feats up close. The victims die without even being able to discern the attackers location? And that too, with a regular attack without any trace of mana waves?

If not hyung, then Luger or Kidd-

They have no reason to do this. They would also need to complete the common quest. Luger may be crazy, but hes not insane enough to wage war on Rush just to complete it himself.

Then who on earth

Kijung looked puzzled, but Leehas expression was darker.

Its not him. Not Kidd. Not Luger.

And a being that has a motive to kill users trying to subdue the Demon Kings stronghold.

What could that be?

All clues pointed to only one possibility.

This is the doing of the Matans Shooter. Now I understand why Luger was targeted.

Due to the screams and noise in the video, its hard to hear, but the gunshots are almost inaudible.

How many seconds after a user is hit by Matans Shooter does the sound occur? The gap between the event and the sound was so large that it was natural not to notice the gunshots.

In other words, the gunshot sound occurs at least 6 seconds after being hit, and Leeha knew very well what this time gap implied.

As Leeha was lost in shock, Kijung, who had been watching the video for a while, lay back and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Kick. Should I be thankful to you?

What are you talking about?

There are only 55 days left for the common quest So my World Tree quest would be around 110 days now.

Leeha wanted to log into Middle Earth, but he knew rehabilitation was more urgent, so he spent the day feeling impatient.

That evening, Kijung left for Korea. When Leeha woke up after completing his rehabilitation, it was exactly ten days since he had arrived in Hong Kong.

Leehas daily routine was always the same. He would start with a hearty breakfast which he didnt know was prepared as a hotel-style breakfast on Ram Hwayeons orders, rather than the typical hospital food followed by a simple neurological examination, and then immediately begin rehabilitation.

This was followed by lunch, more rehabilitation, dinner, and then some light lower body stretching before bed.

This mechanical repetition of daily life could have been boring, but Leeha didnt feel it that way at all.

Huff, huff.

Hold my hand.

No, huff, its okay. Holding Ram Hwajung-ssis hand wont stabilize me. If I fall, we both might get hurt more.

Was she offering her hand in case Leeha fell?

It was unlikely that Ram Hwajung, who was just a bit taller than half of Leehas height, believed she could support him if he fell.

Although Ram Hwajungs offer to hold hands might have had a meaning beyond support, Leeha, focusing all his attention on his lower body, couldnt think of that.

Im bored.

After lunchtime and during the afternoon rehabilitation, Ram Hwajung, who had been following Leeha around, never left his side, especially after Bobae and Nara left and even after Kijung, who looked somewhat gloomy for some reason, departed.

Leeha felt a bittersweet sensation looking at Ram Hwajung.

Even as the youngest daughter of a top-ranking chaebol group No, perhaps because of that, she might not have many people who genuinely care about her.

Although she was part of the Hwahong guild, Ram Hwajung usually played solo unless specifically instructed by Ram Hwayeon.

Leeha suddenly thought that maybe her nickname, the Ice Witch, was not because of her cold personality, but rather because she was lonely, not knowing how to communicate with others due to a lack of companionship.

In the hospital, the bodyguards are mostly not around, usually just near Ram Fang.

Ram Hwayeon and Jachung were always busy with work, and bodyguards were not allowed to accompany them in the hospital to maintain the atmosphere.

This meant the hospital had all the elements to make Ram Hwajung feel bored.

Shall we go for a walk?

At Leehas suggestion, Ram Hwajungs eyes widened in excitement.

Yeah!

Leeha smiled warmly, realizing that despite being the Ice Witch and a top 10 ranked player in Middle Earth, in reality, she was just a kid.

Unable to walk for more than 10 minutes, Leeha sat in a wheelchair.

And behind that wheelchair stood Ram Hwajung.

I can do it

I want to.

Leeha, who was adept at maneuvering the wheelchair himself, had to relent and hand over control to Ram Hwajung, who insisted on pushing it herself.

TLs Corner:

Whether something good or bad happened cant be determined unless you see the end result.

What bad luck! The farmer replies, Maybe. The next day, the horse returns with several wild horses, and the villagers exclaim, What good luck! Again, the farmer says, Maybe. Later, the farmers son breaks his leg while trying to tame one of the wild horses. What bad luck! say the villagers. The farmers response? Maybe. Finally, the army comes to the village to draft young men for war but leaves the farmers son behind due to his broken leg. What good luck! cheer the villagers. The farmer simply says, Maybe.
