n

nThe Juo group, one of the 4 major groups of Korea.

nThe Chairman of the Juo Group was always from the Joo family, but the co-founders, the Oh’s, were the presidents of Juo’s main affiliates and the Foundation.

nHye-ji Oh, the granddaughter of President Oh, was currently the most influential of Oh heirs.

nShe was currently in hiding.

n‘They prepared TWO dresses that match with Suhyuk? They’re crazy!’

nShe was relieved to find that Suhyuk had gotten rid of that tuxedo before boarding.

nHowever, although Suhyuk didn’t wear his outfit, this T-length dress was not really her style.

nThat’s why she was going to make an excuse and change before the evening party.

nTo her dismay, the dress that her secretary showed her was also that sickening sandy pink color.

n‘Sandy Pink…… I didn’t think much of it before, but now, I HATE it.’

n

n

nAs soon as she saw that color, she went to the nearest window and jumped.

nHye-ji, under the moonlight, cast her Gwanglim, “Witaechun(meaning: riding against the sky) Under the Moon”, which increases the leap force and speed of movement under the moon.

nWhen Hye-ji’s Gwanglim was properly activated, there was no one in Juo’s guard team to follow her.

nAnd now.

nHye-ji Oh was leaping on the railings and ornaments of the outer walls of the ship.

n‘Why are they trying to resolve the fight they had made by making our generation get married? Old age ruins people, I swear. Suhyuk even has a crush, too.’

nSuhyuk was currently in first and unrequited love.

nEven those who do not know Suhyuk well could notice it if they observe him for a few days.

n‘Dain from student council.’

nDain An, a genius first-year student who was co-summa cum laude of admission with Suhyuk.

nWhen he sees her, he makes this stupid face.

nSuhyuk, the perfect superman like in a drama or movie, has always been an ordinary high school student in front of Dain.

nHye-ji was very fond of his change and was quietly rooting for the two.

n‘Dain didn’t seem uninterested in Suhyuk. Wait, maybe they’re crushing over each other?’

nHye-ji laughed as she thought of the two cute juniors.

n‘A spare tux might go to Suhyuk as well, so I need to run away harder!’

nDeciding to throw away all her sandy pink clothes at home, Hye-ji went inside a widow of an empty hall.

nHye-ji landed on a rug in the hallway without a sound.

n‘There is someone.’

nA group of people dressed in black business suits were seen far away.

nHye-ji opened the nearest door and hid herself.

n‘Huh?’

nAs the door closed, the smell of tobacco came up with a little sweet aroma.

nThe ship was designated as a no-smoking area, but some areas were allowed.

n‘It was a smoking lounge. Too bad.’

nHye-ji tried to jump out of the window before the smell of tobacco before the smell stuck to her clothes.

nHye-ji approached the window.

n“I dismissed all the people from here. How did you get in?”

nThere was someone.

nWhen Hye-ji turned her head to the voice, she saw a man in a tuxedo.

nA figure clutching a cigarette with his tie loose and smoke rising from the cigar.

nIt was someone she knew.

n‘…… Su-gyeom Oppa!’

nSuhyuk’s cousin and almost fiancé of Hye-ji’s sister Hyejung, the workaholic Su-gyeom Joo.

nWhen she was very young, she hung out with Su-gyeom.

nIn her now dim memory, Su-gyeom Joo had always been sweet to Hye-ji.

n‘Not only because of the Juo’s war, it’s more awkward because of the engagement runaway incident.’

nUnlike Suhyuk, with whom she had gone to elementary and middle school, Su-gyeom was hard to meet because of the huge age difference.

nAs time went on, it became more and more difficult to get along like they used to.

nHye-ji missed the timing to say hello.

nBzz-!

nSu-gyeom stubbed out his cigar on a stainless glass ashtray and operated a button.

nAll the windows opened, the sea breeze blew in, and cigarette smoke billowed out.

n‘Since when did oppa even smoke? Wait, did he just stop smoking because of me?’

nShe didn’t know whether to apologize, thank him for his consideration, or just leave him be.

nSu-gyeom, who was leaning on the window, wordlessly peered at Hye-ji.

nHye-ji Oh opened her mouth to speak, when,

nRumble rumble-!

nThe ship shook with a loud noise.

nHye-ji’s eyes widened in shock.

n‘I can’t believe a ship weighing 50,000 tons is shaking this much!’

nA few seconds later, she received a message on her device.

nA natural-occurring psychic wave emission had been observed in the ship’s front, so they were going to anchor the ship for a while.

n‘I think the evening party is going to be postponed as well. I’m glad it’s not enough to return the ship.’

nSince the Other-world collision, there have been rare cases of accidents due to the release of natural psychic waves

nHye-ji was looking at the map of the psychic wave emitted area that was attached to the message, lost in thought.

n“Take out the equipment card.”

n“What?”

nSu-gyeom Joo glared over the sea and took out his own card.

n* * *

nThe planned assassination of Juo and TC group’s heirs.

nIt is difficult to kill a human being who has such a position in the human world, even if he is the head of an Original clan.

nEven more difficult when the assassination has to be done in secret.

nIt’s hard to kill, but it’ll be harder to finish their job without showing their identity.

nThere were a limited number of moves Kang-ryup Jeo could make.

n‘Now I have to eliminate the least possible whens, wheres, and hows.’

nFirst, ‘When’.

n‘Kang-ryup Jeo will target before midnight.’

nThere is a limited number of times the Sangboshimgeumpa was available to use per day.

nHe didn’t like to use it on ‘the one’s orders, so it was possible to estimate when he would use it.

n‘If you use the prong of the Sangboshimgeumpa just before midnight, the limit will be restored soon after 0 o’clock, so his risks become low. If I were him, I’d use it before midnight.’

nNext was ‘when’.

n‘Places with fewer people. He’ll want to target them when they’re in their assigned cabins.’

nBut even after midnight, it will be difficult for the two heirs to rest in the cabin.

nSo finally, ‘how’ to proceed with the assassination was the most important part.

n‘Jeo will be trying to cancel the Evening cocktail party.’

nEvening moon-gazing cocktail party scheduled from 1 hour after gala dinner until late at dawn.

nWhen the Evening cocktail party begins, it becomes difficult to identify where the two heirs are, and midnight passes during the party.

nSo how to cancel the Evening moon-gazing cocktail party?

n‘I can infer it from the behavior patterns the villain had shown and the information from the game.’

nThe villain uses the ‘Sungungyukdong, khishilgyyuksuh’ strategy the most.

nIn short, ‘Sungdonggyuksuh.’

nIt meant to “say ‘the east!’ then attack the west”- confuse your enemies and attack the other side.

n‘In the Jamsil Ballpark incident, they took the security team away with two Other-worlds and targeted the chairman with a third Other-world. The diversionary was the villain’s favorite tactic.’

nSo the first move ought to be to stop the ship and cancel the party.

nThe second will be to remove the ship’s players.

nThe third will be to remove the security team.

nThe last will be to kill the two heirs.

n‘The shaking ship has to be Jeo’s first move.’

nThe ocean waves caused by an underwater psychic wave shook the entire ship.

nIf you look at the instructions sent by the captain to the passenger, it is said to be a natural wave emission, but it is probably not.

nThere was also evidence.

nDing Dong.

nTo-yeon Ok Hey savior! That was just Kang-ryup Jeo!

nTo-yeon Ok He made it seem like a natural occurrence, but he can’t deceive my Moon palace map. That pig bastard just used Sangboshimgeumpa’s first ‘prong’!

nThe 9 teeth, 9 prongs of Sangboshimgeumpa.

nYou can perform miracles or blow powerful strikes nine times a day.

nThe more you use the prongs, the weaker the strength, and the last ninth prong is currently unavailable, according to Jeo.

n‘The more you use them, the weaker it gets, except for last- the last one blows the most powerful strike, so it’s good he can’t use it.’

nThe remaining prongs are seven.

nAnd other than these seven prongs, there were some other tricks up Jeo’s sleeve as well.

nBeeeeeeep!

nOn the device, a message with an alarm sound and a map with coordinates surfaced.

nEmergency Notification SR Class Other-world creation Guide

nAs expected, the second move of Jeo.

nWith the support of the main villain, creating an ‘Other-world.’

nStopping the ship wasn’t just to stop the party.

n‘Now the players on board, except the guard team, will move.’

nThe Other-world was created in the back of Cymopoleia.

nOn the other side of the ship were the top-rated cabins with the VVIPs.

n* * *

nOcean View Suite.

nAfter the sudden stop of the ship.

nNam-wook Jang had been saying a long, nagging commentary of the evacuation manual, location of life jackets, and lifeboats.

nHowever, the atmosphere changed due to the alarm of the Other-world occurrence.

n“SR class Other-world? Another Other-world without foreshadow!”

nNam-wook Jang panicked a little.

nSuhyuk Joo immediately took out the equipment card and prepared to leave.

nSi-hoo Do tried to follow him.

n“Si-hoo, you need to rest.”

n“Haha, it’s okay. The ship stopped. I might feel better hunting down Enemies in the Other-world.”

nHe said so, but since he had puked a few times, his face was still pale.

nSuhyuk, who had noticed his complexion, began to threaten him quietly with a smiling face.

n“If you try to get out now, I’ll knock you out cold. Do you want to wait out here unconscious, or just wait?”

nSi-hoo couldn’t beat Suhyuk when he wasn’t sick, so if he fought him now, he’ll be a goner in no time.

nIf they fought, it’ll only be wasting Suhyuk’s strength, so Si-hoo quickly decided to give up.

n“Be careful.”

nSuhyuk nodded and leaned toward Nam-wook, who had been stiff.

n“Nam-wook, please keep an eye on Shi-hoo.”

n“Huh? No, I can fight! Last time, I―”

nNam-wook stopped speaking.

nHe was reminded of how powerful the Enemies looked and how pathetic he had been the last time at the Jamsil Ballpark incident.

nNam-wook tried to breathe and say he would support them, but before that, Suhyuk spoke first.

n“There’s only one SR class, right? There’s enough manpower already. There are Ui-shin, Hyo-don, Won-woo hyung, and Hye-ji noona. And my cousin and master! I don’t have anyone to leave Si-hoo with.”

nDespite being convinced by Suhyuk’s words, Nam-wook could not answer properly.

nSuhyuk opened the door with a bright voice.

n“I’ll be back in a jiffy!”

nInside the room where Suhyuk disappeared.

nTwo people remained, Si-hoo laying on the sofa, and Nam-wook stiff as a statue.

nSi-hoo blurted out,

n“Nam-wook, you wanna play word chain?”

n“No.”

nSi-hoo, who had been rejected, made a pouty face.

n* * *

nThere are currently plenty of excellent players on board.

nMy playable characters, NPCs.

nThere was no one not good enough for an SR Other-world.

n‘All the players on board will be gone to the Other-world.’

nExcept for the security team.

nThey still remain by the heirs.

n‘But when the crisis comes, the heirs will convince the security team to go into the battlefield.’

nLike in the Jamsil ballpark in the game.

nThe attack had already begun on the backside of the ship, and the extermination announcement began to rise in turn.

nA message call was heard mixed with the alarm of the player SAT―K.

nDing Dong.

nTo-yeon Ok An Original clan is on a cloud making its way to the front of the ship! It’s hiding itself, but I can see it clear as day- he’s still bad at barriers and hiding!

nIn the ‘Journey to the West,’ Jeopalgye(or “Pigsy” in the English translation) rode a slow cloud.

nThe only Original clan to ride a cloud here was Kang-ryup Jeo.

nHe was coming to the Cymopoleia himself.

n‘I’m starting to see it on the minimap!’

nWhen I checked the “Open map” in my exclusive menu, I saw one dot approaching this way.

nTo-yeon Ok I think Gang-ryup is going to use ‘prongs’……! He’s going to break Cymopoleia’s barrier by disguising it as a naturally occurring psychic wave!

nRumble-!

nThe surrounding psychic-wave airflow began to change.

nThe Sangboshimgeumpa’s prong is trying to exert its power in the form that Jeo wants.

n‘The class of ships with this scale is R class, like the Jamsil Ballpark. Normally, the barrier will break as Jeo wanted it to.’

nBang bang bang-!

nA high-density wave poured toward Cymopoleia.

nThe psychic wave cut through the night sky.

nWith that much power, the R barrier will be broken, and I will not be safe standing on the deck.

nI peered at the psychic wave.

nPsss……!

nHowever, the power embodied by the prong of the Sangboshimgeumpa was blocked by a barrier of light and disappeared.

nThe barrier flashed then disappeared.

nIt was the power of Jiho Hwang.

nDing Dong.

n

n

nA message arrived from Jiho, who was watching the situation on the Moon palace map next to To-yeon Ok.

nJiho Hwang the barrier I planted on Cymopoleia is broken.

nJeo was never good with barriers.

nBased on that point, Jiho, who is good at barriers, worked cleverly in advance.

n‘It worked. Without revealing the involvement of the Tiger clan, I borrowed the power of Jiho to consume one of the prongs.’

nSix prongs left with this.

nJiho Hwang Good luck.

nJiho’s turn was over.

nIf I don’t do well, Jiho will intervene.

nIt was really time for me to do my thing.

n
