“Sorry! Princess!”
A user from the [Evolution] alliance shouted with genuine sincerity in their voice as they swung their sword at Arang.
Arang tried to turn and block, but another user’s attack intercepted her sword, leaving her unable to stop the [Evolution] alliance user’s strike.
The sword struck Arang’s waist.
In the forest, the territory of the [Evolution] alliance, a PVP battle—no, an Arang raid—was taking place.
Fifteen players had rushed in to take down Arang.
“Ugh!”
As Arang groaned from the enemy’s attack, the surrounding [Evolution] alliance users apologized again.
“Ah! S-sorry!”
“What are you doing? Focus on winning!”
The healer, who had been healing from the back, couldn’t deal damage properly.
“You don’t get it because you’re ranged, but do you know how it feels to swing a sword at such a cute girl right in front of you!?”
A user who was about to swing their greatsword at the defenseless Arang hesitated upon seeing her pained expression and stopped.
They had prepared themselves, but seeing the small, cute child in pain right in front of them made it impossible to attack.
‘No human could do this…!’
“Ah!”
That brief hesitation, of course, led to their death.
After a few more deaths, they finally managed to CC Arang.
“Enchanters are the worst, huh?”
“Ugh… Princess, I’m sorry.”
Arang, covered in debuffs and unable to move a finger, sighed deeply.
She thought to herself, just like in the last arena match, debuffers are truly the worst in PVP.
“What do we do?”
The users who had captured Arang were conflicted.
Normally, they wouldn’t capture a player like this—they’d just kill them. But with Arang right in front of them, they couldn’t bring themselves to do it.
“Why are you hesitating? She’s the enemy, so kill her.”
As Arang spoke, the users panicked and waved their hands.
“No… my hands are literally shaking!”
At one user’s cry, everyone nodded in agreement.
“What’s the big deal? It’s not like she’ll really die.”
“No, no, this situation is already pretty dangerous.”
Fifteen users had rushed in to take down Arang, but now ten of them were dead.
The remaining five had barely managed to apply debuffs to Arang.
The problem was that the five were now surrounding Arang.
If this were real life, a passerby would probably call the police.
“Should we chat for a bit and then leave?”
“Oh! Sounds good!”

“Ugh… damn it. This is so annoying.”
Gamha-View, his voice sticky and unpleasant, threw off his access device and immediately opened his computer to visit the Leore website.
“This is definitely illegal modification.”
Filled with rage, Gamha-View furiously typed on his keyboard, sent a message to the inquiry site, and shut down his computer.
“Using illegal mods to pull off that crap… believing that idiot got WFK on her own is just pure stupidity.”
Gamha-View, thinking about the humiliation he suffered from Arang earlier, threw things around in anger.
Not long after, Gamha-View’s appearance was completely ruined.
His well-maintained hair was a mess from being pulled out in frustration.
His wrinkle-free face was contorted with anger, and his hands, which he usually took care of, were bleeding from throwing objects around.
“Huff… huff…”
After calming down slightly, Gamha-View took a few capsules from his drawer and chewed them roughly.
“Ugh… what do I do about this? Damn it. That Arang girl dared to mock me? But I can’t touch her. Damn it, why is she tied up with Mars? What should I do? Investigate her surroundings? But what if she notices? I need to think this through. The opponent is Mars. Should I just run away? But she humiliated me! Mocked me! Ignored me! Wait, she’s not the Mars CEO, right? I need to slowly drag everyone around her into this.”
Muttering like a madman, Gamha-View slapped his own cheek hard and picked up his phone.
“What the hell.”
As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw countless missed calls. He called his secretary, who had been trying to reach him.
[CEO!]
“What.”
[The, the prosecutors are here for a search and seizure—]
“What!?”
As soon as he heard this, Gamha-View remembered the capsules he had hidden in his office drawer.
“Damn it, I’m screwed. Why are the prosecutors suddenly targeting my company!? No, no, that’s not the important thing right now… This is dangerous. What do I do? Did that idiot use it at the club again? Damn it, I told him not to use it for a while.”

“Why is this company suddenly being searched and seized?”
A rookie, carrying several plastic boxes for evidence, couldn’t understand the sudden search and seizure at what seemed like an ordinary company.
Usually, even in urgent cases, there would be some internal administrative procedures and meetings, but this decision was made and executed on the same day.
This had never happened before.
“We’re just following orders from above.”
“Even the President wouldn’t go this far…”
“Yeah… you’re right.”
“…What?”
The rookie doubted his ears upon hearing his senior’s words.
If even the President wouldn’t go this far, it meant someone with more influence than the President was behind this search and seizure.
“This is crazy—”
“Just go with it. It’s not like we haven’t dealt with things this intense before.”
“That’s true, but…”
‘What’s going on? Is there someone in Korea with more influence than the President?’
Not long after the search began, drugs were found in the CEO’s office.
But the rookie wasn’t sure if the drugs really belonged to the CEO.
The sudden search and seizure, with no prior evidence, made the discovery of drugs seem too convenient.
Everything felt suspicious.
Bang!
“What the hell are you doing!?”
As the search was wrapping up, the company’s CEO suddenly appeared, shouting.
From his hair to his attire, nothing about him looked normal.
He didn’t just seem rushed—he looked completely out of his mind.
His hands were bleeding, and his eyes were bloodshot.
To anyone, he looked like someone who had just taken drugs.
The prosecutor showed the search warrant, and as the team tried to leave with boxes full of evidence, Gamha-View blocked their way.
“If you do anything more here, we won’t stay quiet.”
“Damn it…!”
Gamha-View glanced at the drawer where he had hidden the capsules and cursed.
The secret drawer was empty. The hidden capsules had been discovered.
After the prosecutors left, Gamha-View called someone on his phone.
Ring—
The call was answered within seconds.
“Hey! What the hell is going on!? You were supposed to warn me if something like this happened!”
[That’s not the issue right now…!]
Gamha-View could tell something was seriously wrong from the trembling voice of his friend, who had never sounded this scared before.
No, actually, he had felt something was off since the prosecutors raided his company, but he thought he had enough power to get out of it.
He was just angry that he had been attacked first and was starting the fight at a disadvantage.
But now, hearing his prosecutor friend’s voice, he realized the situation was worse than he thought.
“What are you talking about? Stop stuttering and explain properly.”
[The higher-ups are determined to completely destroy you…! Are you sure there’s no evidence, like you said…!?]
“I’ve been using it fine until now. Did you idiot spill the capsules at the club or something?”
[I don’t know…!]
“What about your father? Did you talk to him?”
[My dad told me to stay quiet if I want to live…! And he asked how much I’m involved with you…! What the hell have you been doing!? If my dad finds out I took drugs, I’m dead…!!!]
Gamha-View finally realized this wasn’t just about the drugs. Some faction was moving to socially bury him.
