Chapter 328 Death Apostle (2)
The second main scenario of unified Arcadia.
[Act. 2 Resurrection of Divinity]
After this scenario was revealed, Arcadia entered an era of pioneering.
– Places designated as forbidden areas on each continent… If you know it, isn’t it a place where sealed historical sites are hidden?
-I know? The place Ttongson went to was also one of the golden regions of the Korean continent, right?
– There will be anything at once. Every suspicious place is worth a look.
Adventurers who started exploring without hesitation, going from areas lined with incredibly powerful monsters to dangerous places where entering in itself is life threatening due to the extreme environment. As they began to explore the unknown territory that had not yet been explored, a series of enormous variables began to occur in Alice’s system.

Warning messages ringing like crazy. Looking at these things, President Lee Mi-yeon sighed deeply and shook her head with an expression that something had come.
“Ha….. It ends up like this…..”
The alarm that only sounded when a huge narrative that had a profound impact on the entire continent was created.
But now, like an advertisement message flying in, it was warning her of the harbingers of a great typhoon that was about to blow over Arcadia.
“Why are there so many main scenario decisions?”
Prediction scenarios in her inbox. Looking at the titles written in red as if they all had the potential to develop into a main scenario that would have a profound impact on the entire continent, President Lee Mi-yeon grumbled with a tired expression.
[Currently, 62 quests with the potential to trigger the main scenario have been created. Manager, please review it quickly.]
Pieces of huge narratives secretly hidden all over the continent.
As soon as he started touching them indiscriminately, President Lee Mi-yeon grumbled as if he didn’t dare to open the mail at all, seeing the enormous reports piling up in his mailbox.
“No, but is this too much? When are you reviewing all of this?”
Huge stories that will shake the entire continent of Arcadia one by one.
They all contained various stories.
From the great disaster that will blow upon this world, to the story of the unsung hero and the worst villain that will never come back to brilliant prosperity.
Events that will have a powerful influence on all beings living on this continent. It was impossible to simply skim through these items and pass them away, but it was clear that the amount was too large for President Lee Mi-yeon to review alone.
[However, due to the current management level, only the administrator has the authority to access the main scenario.] A
grand narrative that penetrates the entire continent. main scenario.
Until now, such a scenario had not occurred so often, so President Lee Mi-yeon managed and dealt with it himself, but now he realized that it was impossible.
“Hmm…”
President Lee Mi-yeon, who had been rolling her pen for a long time with a serious contemplation on her face, making a deep voice. And she immediately asked Alice with a worried face.
“Are there any scenarios that have occurred that correspond to the late stage crisis?”
A disaster itself that no one in Arcadia dared to handle.
When asked if anyone had touched the latter crisis created and planted by Asura, the owner of the Black Mist, Elise answered after a brief confirmation.
[No late stage crisis scenarios have been confirmed so far.]
Alice answered that the scenarios that have occurred so far are safe. At her words, President Lee Mi-yeon closed her eyes, took a deep breath and was relieved, then said with a twinkle in her eyes.
“Ellis, first of all, I’ll make some adjustments to the business management authority.”
[What kind of adjustment are you talking about?]
President Lee Mi-yeon smiled at Alice’s question about what to do. And she opened the organization chart of Arcadia Co., Ltd. with a click of the mouse, and soon began to carefully examine it.
“In the future, like this, from the main scenario to the lower grade, it will start pouring out like crazy, but I can’t review all of them forever. As long as there is a change, the work of me and the staff must be adjusted according to the change.”
Then she saw the name of a familiar department and murmured with a strangely evil smile.
“I didn’t know it would turn out like this… How did you manage to get the department members back to work? Good.”
President Lee Mi-yeon muttered while poking her finger at the monitor. Her finger was pointing at a department that existed alone, unlike other departments that were connected like a spider’s web.
[Crisis Management Response Team]
President Lee Mi-yeon, who changed the department that developed quests and scenarios into a department with a strange name that she had never heard of before. After that, she heard an enormous amount of complaints related to this, including formal written documents and gossip in the bathroom, but she did not blink an eye.
But now, CEO Lee Mi-yeon has decided to grant the favor they have always been anxiously wanting and shouting about.
“I’ll give special powers to crisis management response team members. So that employees in the department, including Executive Director Kwon Myung-han, can access information related to the main scenario and review it to assess the risk and direct other departments to devise necessary countermeasures. It’s what they normally do anyway, so there’s nothing special to say.”
[You mean the entire main scenario?]
“Yeah. Exclude only those related to the late crisis. Except for that, everything else.”
President Lee Mi-yeon proudly declares that she will not do any troublesome work. However, Alice, who had no emotions, judged only whether her instructions were reasonable, and then proceeded to implement the measures indifferently.
[Confirm command. Reorganization of business management authority. Creation of special powers for the department. Reassignment of duties.]
Serious reports with red titles disappearing from her mailbox in an instant.
President Lee Mi-yeon sat down on the chair with a satisfied smile at the fact that there was no need to review an enormous amount of documents, reaching as many as 1,000 pages per document.
“ah. Alice, could you play some classic songs with a nice atmosphere?”
[Okay, boss.]
A pleasant afternoon when the warm sunlight shines through the window.
For a long time after that, she enjoyed her own break, enjoying classical music played by Ellis.
Little aware of the mournful screams from the office below.

Arcadia is just a simple entertainment for some people.
However, Lucas, a young American, was living a real life by immersing himself in this virtual world more seriously than reality.
That’s why he felt a tremendous sense of loss, sadness, and anger at the death of an imaginary NPC who had no value.
In his despair, a divinity that even lost its existence awoke from the time of eternity.
[The death of the beginning is watching you.]
A quest that suddenly flew to him who was crying out in grief.
After that, Morse began wandering around the entire Erda Mountains as if he had lost his mind.
Without any income, he stopped eating and drinking for days and days without sleeping properly, accessing the game for most of the 24 hours and starting to wander around like crazy.
The result of overturning the entire mountain and searching for it with a mad obsession, burning with a terrible vengeance. He finally found the place the Holy Church had been trying to keep a secret.
Woo woo woo.
A gap between huge rocks.
A terrible darkness leaking out little by little from inside, small enough for one nimble person to enter.
Morse hesitated for a moment with a tense face at the energy that seemed so ominous. However, as he slowly brought his hand into the darkness, a completely different message appeared before his eyes.
[You have found the ruins where the energy of the beginning of death is sleeping.]
[The death of the beginning has allowed you to enter.]
[Do you want to enter the ruins?]
The keywords listed in the quest.
death in the beginning.
Convinced through the message that the place he was looking for was right, Morse pressed Y in front of him without hesitation.
and that moment.
The huge darkness that swayed from the cracks in the rocks erupted in an instant and swallowed him up.
[The death of the beginning is testing you.]
As I heard a strange message that I couldn’t understand.
* * *
‘What is…?’
Morse seemed to be floating in space without feeling for a long time.
However, he frowned as he felt that the entire area was full of wet liquid with a sticky, fishy smell, even though he could not see anything.
And then.
Ominous purple flames bloomed everywhere and soon began to illuminate everything around him, and he finally knew the identity of the sensation he felt unpleasant.
“This is …..”
The blood of the dead filling the entire narrow cave.
Dark red blood was flowing everywhere, and the pile of corpses that had lost the spark of life was so grotesque that a normal person would be shocked.
“…..”
But even after seeing that scene, Morse was so calm. Rather, he looked at the corpses strewn around him one by one with a colder and colder face than ever before and moved on.
Bodies in the form of Trezi villagers.
Feeling filthy, as if prepared by someone with a bad taste who seemed to inflict mental pain on himself and enjoy it, Morse said nothing at the intense anger welling up in his chest and made his way through the long, unstoppable cave.
And how long did it take?
A black child with only bones and skin left greeted him.
“This is…”
A being in the form of a young boy whose legs are firmly fixed in chains tied to a stake that seems to be deeply embedded.
But as soon as he saw the child smiling so casually, Morse knew he was the one whispering to him.
“Did you find this narrow pit?”
A child smirking as if he saw an interesting toy. He asked Morse as if he knew everything.
“Do you want revenge?”
“what?”
“Don’t you want to make those who brutally murdered the ones you hold dear feel the same fear of death?”
A being who seems to know exactly what he wants. He was whispering with a very ominous smile in the form of a child.
“Death should be fair to everyone. Beings who have exhausted their allotted life time must leave this Arcadia and return to the circle of circulation. That is the absolute law my father created, and it is my mission to abide by and follow that law.”
The black child talking about incomprehensible stories to himself. He moved his body to stand up somehow, but he fell down again due to the strong iron chain, and soon he said to him with strangely sparkling eyes.
“So… I will give you the power to take revenge. Please do my favor instead.”
“ask?”
Morse asked what it was.
The child answered the question.
“Bring death to this world.”
“…?”
Morse tilted his head as if he couldn’t understand.
However, as if the black child didn’t care, she handed him a purple dagger with geometric patterns engraved on it and said as if she was really excited.
“My name is…death.”
The first beings created in the Genesis of Arcadia.
Among them, the death of the beginning, which was given the mission of death and was born.
death.
His divinity began to struggle to break the seal that was holding him down.
