* * *

A completely pitch-dark night.

Despite an ambitious time past 10: 00, the offices of the planning team were lit up.

Even sadder was that it was Friday night, when it was past midnight.

Planning Team 1 for LB, working overtime, even though it's all in the budget.

Of course, it was a familiar landscape within LB recently without any sense of camouflage.

“Ha, no one's gone home today either. ”

“I almost went to Planning Team 1 when I joined, but now I think it's creepy, sunbae. ”

“Shh. I can hear you inside. Don't be ridiculous. Let's just get on call. ”

“Yes, sir. How about some chicor for dinner tonight? ”

“Khh, I like chichol. ”

Planning Team 1 was recently rumored to be the most robust of all departments within LB.

The lighting went out much later than the on-call office for server management.

LB, of course, offers industry-leading overtime pay, but no one envied it.

Perhaps if someone told LB employees that they were jealous of overtime pay, most employees would say:

“Yeah, it's better if you don't work late. ”

Due to this, Planning Team 1's office, which remained on fire today, was a target of compassion for LB associates.

If you look at their faces in the endless night hell, you can't help but feel sorry for them.

Pale, bluish faces reminiscent of a zombie or a bully.

However, even though I didn't get off work today for some reason, the atmosphere of the first team seemed very warm.

It wasn't lively and lively, of course, but at least it was hopeful.

“Wow, Se-cchan, what a visionary name. ”

“Yes. Apologize quickly, sir. If it wasn't for Se-chan, we wouldn't be able to go home today. ”

“Khh, Deputy Yoon, our Savior! ”

A man making a gorgeous face in a loud office atmosphere.

Senior Representative Yoon Se-chan was the savior of today's first planning team.

His designs have allowed a team of employees to leave in a long time.

Match the Fragment of Darkness puzzle, which applies to all the Grip Ruins!

If Ian had gotten to the Demonic Judgment Blade today, perhaps the one planning team's overtime would have been an extra week.

Every time the Judge's sword was added to Ian's hand, his content destruction became more powerful.

However, thanks to the Dark Fragment Puzzle designed by Yoon Se-chan's representative, the overtime for Planning Team 1 could be shorted to today.

No, at least that's what the planning team thought.

“Apologize? Of course I should. I'm sorry, Representative Yoon, that I didn't know the foresight of our Representative Yoon and then tried to overthrow this new project. This is your one-time ticket to the Cavalry this year! ”

In fact, when Yoon Se-cchan first brought this puzzle project, Kim didn't like it very much.

I thought the proportion of the puzzle was too high for the ability and effort to break the barrier.

Planning didn't reach out much to him as he oversaw the content of this ruin.

However, the planning of Yun's agency was applied and launched as it was, because the timing of the planning was so urgent that it was fairly fresh within the team.

And as a result, I was holding Ian's ankle today.

“I'm absolutely sure this time, sir. ”

“Kim is right. Let's get you ready for work. ”

“Ahhhh, leaving work before the date changes! More than happy! ”

From the first to the third of the evil ruins.

As Ian's group watched the process of clearing these closures, most of the planning team were confident.

With their sense of sculpture and puzzle, they will never be able to easily enter Thorga's tower.

No, to be precise, the entry itself would be possible.

However, after dozens of failed attempts to complete the puzzle with difficulty corrections, Ian would not be able to get the best clearance rating in the ruins as long as he flew.

And if you do, you won't be able to get the Black Judgment of Evil, even if you can clear the Ruins.

That alone would give the planning team a few days of spare time.

“I'm still a little anxious.... Let's wait another 10 minutes and go home. ”

“Hey, boss. No variables, no variables. ”

“That's right. If Ian hadn't been hiding his puzzle skills so far, their future was fixed. ”

On one side of the Planning Team's office, Ian's group's video was streaming from an installed large TV.

Ian and Lilson are frustrated in front of Thorga's tower after breaking the third seal.

Seeing them like that, Kim felt a slight sense of victory.

‘Yes, there must have been one thing that Ian couldn't do. I didn't know it was a puzzle. ’

Of course, Ian's weakness at puzzles did not allow him to spread the future content into puzzles.

But his weakness...) was actually encouraging in Kim's view.

‘If we don't collect three Judge Swords, we'll make a month in the end. In the meantime, we need to finish all the nebula-related content. ’

Kim is realising that Ian won't get the Judgment Blade of Evil even though he didn't go home cool because of the anxiety about what was left.

He kept his eyes fixed on the screen and continued to think about the schedule and was looking for ways to minimize overtime.

‘Yes. If we stick to this schedule, we'll be able to complete the nebula field and take two days off. I can't believe Yoon Se-cchan would do such a big thing. ’

After looking at Yoon Se-cchan packing at the desk across the street, Kim Ui-hwan smiles to be satisfied!

Just then, a short horse screamed from one corner of the planning team.

“Oh! That madman...! ”

The voice of an intern who curses at the fact that this place is even a job!

But the fact that the intern swears, no one in this office cared.

At least a hundred times more shocking things were happening on the screen.

“I think Ian just gave up puzzling. ”

“You're just gonna fight the Guardians over there? ”

“Wait, Ian's not going to win, is he? ”

Either he gave up puzzling, or Ian stumbles up the back of Iron and leans towards the Guardians.

The first team members who witnessed the scene stopped all the movements they were about to leave and gathered again in front of the screen.

Naturally, it was impossible for the user to deal with three Guardians, but the story would be different if the user were Ian.

Gulp.

In the quietly quiet office, a sound of someone's drowsiness rang out, and Kim looked at Ian's one-by-one with his eyes wide open.

"No, why are you more nervous than you are about puzzles? ’

Of course, the puzzle of Darkness that needs to be matched to enter the tower is hard for Ian as well as for anyone.

It was a mission designed to bring together around ten people and set aside role-sharing to see if it would only be successful, so it was an impossible quest for users like Ian and Lilson.

Nevertheless, the puzzle was created on a difficulty that someone could clear, and not those Guardians.

They were the guardians of the ruins, so powerful they couldn't even imagine the user attacking in the first place.

‘But Ian already has the power to catch the Guardian. Even if it was one-on-one. ’

“Hehe!”

Once deep breaths were taken, Kim looked at the screen with a vibrating pupil.

My heart is shaking so much (?), but to schedule content as the leader of the first team, you have to keep your eyes open.

I wish someone would flip the headphones off and force the TV to shut down!

Employees of the first planning team, including Kim, did not move for an hour like a statue, and as time went by, their expressions became slightly darker.

And just like that, Ian went crazy.) is about 3 hours from the start.

“Ugh... ”

“Wow……. ”

All the team members lost their words and were puzzled with unbelievable expressions.

Admiration, anger, and frustration.

Planning team 1's office is a mess of emotions.

And in between, this time, the cultivation of Kim, who was close to screaming, erupted.

“Chow, Chow, you son of a bitch! ”

It was a cry for someone in Operations who had the biggest stake in creating this situation.

* * *

Kung-kung-kung-kung!

Sharp purple feathers scatter in the darkness with the sound of the waves.

A guardian who lost his last life at the end of Ian's sword, scattered into the air and returned to the Abyss.

Finally, the guardian of the Abyss' Myr ', all three guardians were extinct from the battlefield.

It eventually captured a powerful nerd that would not even be harmed by evil spirits, only by control, fortitude, and determination.

If there had been any mistake in the process, Ian would have died, but that didn't happen as a result.

Ian's fury at the puzzle (?) enhanced Ian's focus.

Kung-!

- All the Guardians are disabled.

- The entrance to Thorga's Tower will open.

-You 've accomplished an unbelievable feat!

- The owner of the ruins recognizes you.

…… Snapshot……

With a fluttering system message, the door that was firmly closed in the middle of the tower opens wide.

And from that door to the cliff where Ian's group stood, a red bridge made of red rock, was drawn to this magical chasm.

“Yi, this was possible. ”

Lilson mutters admiration or sighing, and next to him, Arlene is excited!

“Wow, what a state! Amazing!”

And Ian, who had created this unconscious situation, began to slowly walk over the red bridge.
