“… He’s not that great despite his grand appearance, huh?”
Cough, cough.
I coughed up a couple of times and ran past the man who resembled a fallen black shadow. It was disadvantageous to face the Boss at my level at that time. It was best to circle around there and catch him off guard. To do that, it was good to get out of the chase and hit the back of the Boss, who somehow had to proceed with the Game to save his face. I ran as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“O-oh, my God… The Shadow… at once…”
“What the hell is going on… just now…”
Ignoring the astonished voices coming from behind, I ran that way.

“It is said that the Shadow was defeated.”
Those words shook the Boss’ eyes. He couldn’t believe it. The One Who Lives in the Shadow was strong enough to be ranked second even in his group, which was filled with numerous strong men. The power to see through and destroy the inside was so powerful that it made even himself reluctant.
However, he was destroyed so easily in a short time to that little rat.
“… Tell all the subordinates to stop pursuing him.”
The Boss, who was confused when he heard a sudden report while playing the Game, turned his body after those words. That was shocking news, and the power loss was also large. However, that feeling shouldn’t be expressed. There, he had to be the dominant figure, the one who led the atmosphere.
Jeong Si-woo, who made a mess and ran away, had already firmly rooted in their heads. As all of them were Transcendents, the price of Jeong Si-woo had to be exploding in real-time.
I shouldn’t be shaken more. The main character of the Game was me. The topic shouldn’t turn around.
“… That’s not a good thing. Can I proceed with the Game again? It’s a non-trivial situation. I’ll take care of this on my own.”
The Boss, who said it wasn’t a big deal, continued to explain the world that would be the entertainment at that time. However, while pretending to be fine on the outside, he couldn’t help worrying about him on the inside.
He was the guy who killed the Shadow. None of those underlings would be able to handle him. The only way to kill him was by himself, but he had to finish the Game now. He shouldn’t let their gazes change. He could no longer develop Jeong Si-woo’s power. The attention he had to himself shouldn’t be changed.
‘I will leave you for now, but…as soon as the game is over, you face the worst.’
The Boss’s face wriggled stickily. His anger boiled up. That guy extinguished his subordinates, and he lost his second-in-command, who had been with him for a long time. It was a miracle to put up with it on the surface.
Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to get the cheers back from the stupid Casino customers and changed the mood.
‘A user of the Akashic Records found by the Faceless King… Yes, that’s why even the Shadow couldn’t match with him. The Shadow that sees through the inside of his shell mustn’t be able to hold up the vast thing….’
The name of the Akashic Records had been famous since ancient times. It didn’t show great power or influence, but no Transcendent dared to look inside.
When it came to information, the Akashic Records were invincible. It didn’t exert any influence on the outside, but the things that came inside itself were devastatingly extinguished. He must’ve been struck by it.
Yeah. It wasn’t like he got beaten by that kid. His subordinates had to be struck by the mysterious collection of information.
‘… The Akashic Records that the Faceless King wanted so much. Of course, the user who took my subordinates away. I will kill you. Without leaving any trace!’
While rationalizing that, the Boss continued to explain in a dry voice.
“The Shadow… I heard he even was defeated.”
“What? How the hell… Was it true that the Faceless King was behind it? How does the guy who looked like a brat…”
Not even realizing that the name Jeong Si-woo was spreading all over the place much faster than he expected.
As a result, his price was growing at an explosive rate in a short time without knowing it.
As the whispers continued, it wasn’t that he got a little stronger. Jeong Si-woo’s power was soaring that even the Boss couldn’t easily see it.

“I heard there was a man at the Casino named the Support for You. Is it true?”
“Support… Ha, that guy. I went out because it was frustrating, but in the end, it’s all done.”
“I guess it’s true.”
The woman who asked the question sighed. Given the Traveler’s response, the reports heard were absolutely true.
“As I know, the Faceless King wouldn’t train a successor after that incident, but was I mistaken?”
“No, you’re right to know that.”
“Then… how about the rumors?”
“It’s true with a support, but it has never been a successor.”
“What do you…?”
“Just now, are you throwing up at my words?”
At that moment, the woman’s mouth closed. She asked again without realizing it since he was looking like an easy-going old man. However, the moment she met the old man’s glance, she recalled who she was facing at that moment. If she had just spat one more letter, she would’ve perished without a trace.
“… I apologize.”
The Faceless King. The society created by the Transcendents and the dimension they created as relaxation could be turned into ashes with a few tapping of his fingers. The woman bowed her head when she felt his unpleasant mood. The Traveler, who looked indifferently at the scene, opened his shut mouth again.
“He’s not a successor. It’s just that what he has is helping me with the picture I’m envisioning.”
“What he has?”
