Kosung County, Kangwon Province, South Korea.

It was nothing like the refugee processions in movies or TV soap operas. Several buses steadily moved in and out of the shelter, and they unloaded the families of the essential staff of the Myongjin Group.

Of course, I didn’t have to take the initiative to do something in this situation.

A detailed plan and staff required was already prepared to escort the families in an orderly manner.

In my case, I was dressed up in a neat suit and greeted them on behalf of my father.

Of course, not all of them came here because some of the family members were company employees, public servants or elementary, middle and high school as well as college students.

In other words, Myeong-jin couldn’t make a big fuss by evacuating them because society was still functioning normally for now.

So, this time’s evacuation was planned under the name of a “family night” event.

Anyway, while welcoming the Myongjin families coming from all over the country, I toured the “Myongjin Shelter” with Chief Secretary Dongyoung Ahn.

“This place has changed a lot compared to my last visit.”

When I said that, President Gilsan Lee, the current head of the Myongjin Shelter, opened his mouth.

“Yeah. When our chairman and you stopped by last time, we were busy putting finishing touches on this underground facility.”

Certainly, when I first came here, the building above the ground was not very impressive. But now, there were large buildings on the ground, and three large buildings at that.

As if he noticed my gaze, President Lee said. “We didn’t put everything in one place just in case. Moreover, each of those three buildings has an independent system, so even if one place is paralyzed, the other two buildings can take over its purpose and the residents of the damaged building can move over. Of course, there are passages underground and above ground, so it’s easy to get in and out of the shelter.”

President Lee also said that he was planning to create a park, a zoo, and an amusement facility common to the three buildings to reassure the residents and allow them to enjoy their stay in the shelter.

“Are there any people stationed there?”

I noticed quite a few small buildings that I had not seen before.

As if protecting the three main buildings, the small buildings surrounded them at appropriate intervals. They looked like a barrier erected to prevent the enemy’s assault. Of course, it was not a wall that divided the inside and the outside areas like a castle wall. There were just 20 straight or curved buildings at reasonable intervals. But it seemed that they would provide a strong defense if someone attacked.

President Lee replied to my question right away.

“Yes, that’s correct. At first, we planned to create a perfect wall to divide the inside and outside, but we were pressed for time and other conglomerates including Mirae were busy preparing their own shelters, so we could not obtain the necessary building materials on time. So, we constructed several sturdy buildings which required less material. However, up to 500-700 people can reside in each building, and if we can defend those 20 buildings perfectly, we can secure a safe area where more than 100,000 can live comfortably.”

I visited this place once in advance, but honestly, I didn’t pay much attention because I was preoccupied with leveling up at that time.

However, the shelter caught my eye this time because it was very systematic and perfect.

Anyway, I wrapped up the day by going around the shelters here and there with Chief Secretary Ahn and President Gil-young Lee.

That evening I did not move back to my main house in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul because there was a dwelling for my family in the 1st Building, the safest building among the three buildings. Besides, my father told me to stay here and take care of my mom and my sister for the time being. So, I unpacked our belongings with my mother and sister in the dwelling.

After that, I immediately accessed ‘Revival Legend’.

Obviously, it was important for me to publicize myself as Myongjin’s representative externally, but it was more important for me to access ‘Revival Legend’ and achieve level 1200. Honestly, I did not care about the Myongjin Group that much.

Obviously, I was stupid and felt inferior toward my brother and sister, but I was not greey enough to knock down my brother and sister and replace them just like what happened in movies, TV dramas, and novels. Honestly, I wasn’t even bold enough to do so.

Instead, I started looking for a breakthrough out of reality, and that was the game.

It was an MMORPG-type game that unconditionally rewarded me for my achievements in the form of EXP, miscellaneous items or money, no matter how trifling and insignificant they were.

Anyway, even if the world turned upside down tomorrow, I had to access Revival Legend right now, and so I did. And I moved to the Giant’s Grave right away.

“Sorry, Asirante.”

I could easily figure out why Director Yu apologized to me now.

Just like Myongjin, the Mirae Group must have also been greatly shocked by what happened in Taj Mahal, India, and they must be pretty busy because they also learned about the level 1200 privilege, namely reality actualization. Obviously, they must be busy trying to find out who among their players was close to level 1200 or who could reach that level. And those who herded the giant monsters for me in the Giant’s Grave here would be most likely included in the list.

That’s why Director Yu said he was sorry because he wanted to inform me they could not support me any longer.

However, that was not all he had to say.

“Chairman Yon said that you would understand his position. And he also asked me to convey his personal feelings, namely, ‘I really envy Myongjin.’ That’s what he said.”

“…”

Of course, I didn’t like their abrupt decision not to support me anymore, but I fully understood their decision. However, I could not understand why he said he envied Myongjin. As a matter of fact, I was curious about how he noticed I was affiliated with Myongjin because my double role until now was perfect.

As if to satisfy my curiosity, Director Yu opened his mouth.

“At first we really could not believe it because the Pioneers’ City was so small and remote. So much so that it was little known to outsiders. So, we didn’t know that the name of the city was changed to Asirante until recently.”

“…”

As a matter of fact, nobody knew about it, including the Daeyu Guild, whose Chairman Daeyoung Suh I approached first to deceive him.

But Director Yu caught me off guard by revealing something shocking.

“Aren’t those who are currently in control of that place Myongjin’s 3rd and 4th League members”

Myongjin’s 3rd and 4th League members were accepted into the city so I could complete the quest.

At that moment I thought of making an excuse and totally denying it.

However, I could not deny it because the circumstantial evidence he gave me was too obvious.

It would be really shameful if I continued to deny it.

So I kept silent, but he kept talking as if he had a lot to say.

“We really did our best to identify who Asirante was. We checked out all the major players of the Myongjin Guild, and cross-checked their names regardless of whether they were male or female. But our lady singled out one person consistently from the beginning. She named Juyoung Hong, the youngest son of Myongjin’s Chairman Sangman Hong.”

The person that Yu referred to as ‘our lady’ could only be Bora Yon.

He continued, “But everyone knows that Juyoung was already using ID Lumen. So we messaged him to test whether we would get a response from your ID Asirante. But we got a response from the ID Lumen. In other words . But we received a message back from Lumen, so we found out that Lumen and Asirante were different people.”

“Hmm, that’s interesting.”

Do I confirm it or not?
