"The raid will start Soon!"

A large number of voters still vote along straight-party lines.

Seven among the top-ranked players were gathered in one place, which was a rare thing to happen in general. The highest-ranked among them was Rick, who was 19th on the unified rankings. Behind them were hundreds of players wearing black robes with an insignia that represented a wheel with arrows pointing in all directions on their chests.

They were the elite players of the Guild "Chaos".

It was a spectacular sight—a gathering of players with the combined power to easily capture a small city, but tension and anxiety were visible on everyone's faces.

"Ten seconds more!"

As time finally came, the nervousness of the guild members reached its peak. They were restlessly shaking their legs and tightening their grips on their respective weapons. Ricky gazed around with dark eyes. His hands which held his spear were soaked with sweat. ‘I can’t calm down.’

It was a common thing to happen when they were facing one of the 32 Great demons for the first time ever in history. 

History was going to be created today, It was either that they kill him or he tramples over the City behind them.

During the last month, When the news about the decent of the Great demon was revealed through the world message, Ricky and the elites of the 'Chaos' strengthened their items with money, and leveled up day and night, all with the intention of succeeding in the raid. 

They were definitely stronger after all the investments, but those who knew of the Great demon’s power couldn’t garner any confidence.

<Andras, The Great Marquise of Hell has appeared>

A pitch-black portal opened in front of them, as the feet of a massive grey wolf came out crushing the land in front.

'Gulp!'

The players gulped their saliva seeing two massive feet descending in front of them.

The wolf didn't wait for the players to attack as it came out of the portal fully, revealing the induvidual on its back.

The Grand Marquis of Hell, 63rd among the 72 great demons of Hell, and the Great demon of Conflict, Andras

He appeared.

He had the body of an angel and the head of a raven, riding a black wolf and carrying in his hand a pointed saber. He who stirs up trouble and dissension in the hearts of people, who create conflicts with his mere presence.

<The Great demon of conflict and the 63rd Great demon, Andras has descended>

<Andras's presence is placing the seed of discord in the hearts of people>

<All the senses will be dulled in his presence>

<The effect of 'conflict' has been applied, all stats will be reduced by 10%>

A huge pressure downed upon the players bringing the weak ones to their knees.

All of their five senses became dull as it became harder to wield the weapons not to mention the stats reduction they were under.

The mere sight of a crow-headed demon on a black wolf gave them chills.

"What is this pressure?"

The pressure of a Great demon was unlike anything they had felt till now, no boss monster they raided could be compared to the one in front of them.

Ricky gripped his Spear even tighter.

‘Shit!’ He wanted to encourage everyone, but he was afraid.

He was clearly reminded of the overwhelming appearance of 'Ipos', one of the demon princes of Hell, whom he encountered by mistake in the past.

The monstrous appearance of Ipos who was enshrouded in raging flames still made his hand shiver in fear.

When the players were hesitating to attack, Andras drew his saber out of the sheet.

Splash!

Red blood splashed everywhere as the result of his action, and players were cut in halves with their weapons as a whole.

“Kuack!”

“Hiiik!”

The quick draw style of Andras, right in the beginning took the players by surprise. The fear of a movement became a large mistake as most of the players were cut and barely half of the people standing were able to hang on.

Ricky was surprised at the notification window that popped up as he defended against the attack.

‘I raised my physical damage to 63%, but for me to still receive this degree of damage...!’

They would certainly fail.

"He is too strong"

They had underestimated the power of a great demon! They should have prepared more! they should have at least invited "Lynch"! 

"We are done for!"

As Rick despaired, he suddenly doubted his eyes. While the others were panicking and running all around the battlefield, A single man was walking towards the boss amidst the Chaos, moving freely like he wasn't affected by the berserk Demon.

"How...?Heaok..!"

Rick fell silent as he witnessed a ridiculous scene.

As Andras ran amok and slaughtered the guild members while riding on the wolf, the young man pulled out a small Iron ball and threw it at him.

BOOM!

A huge explosion took place!

'What??'

There were certainly not any bombs in this stage of the game, so how? Rick rubbed his eyes to see if he was dreaming!

Andras, who had been running rampant stopped for the first time!

“Who dares to damage this great body of mine!”

He turned towards the young man as he roared loudly!

His shout was earpeircing, the players around the battlefield closed their ears instinctively as they felt like their ears would burst.

"I was on the important stage of my project! you damn crow has to appear now to disturb me?"

The young man screamed back at Andras without any fear and turned towards rick.

"What are you standing there for? A nuke is coming, make way"

He said taking out two more iron balls and throwing them at the rushing wolf.

‘What am I seeing now?’ Ricky thought as he turned his head backward.

A thing which looked like a missile was rushing towards the boss with an incredible speed!

He looked back at the young man but he had already gone far away from there and was watching the missile with his sunglass on.

"Who the hell is.....??!!"

BOOOOOM!

He didn't have the time to complete his sentence as the missile hit Andras.

His flesh scattered everywhere as he burst into pieces not being able to withstand the pressure and a huge crater was formed where he was standing.

Ricky and the players nearby were blown away at the impact.

But even while flying away Ricky couldn’t close his mouth as he gaped at the unbelievable sights.

He didn't become famous just by luck, his countless experiments, models, theories...He was someone who had extreme patience and determination.....even to the extent of creating a useless ass scrubber by waking up day and night just because it was interesting.But right now~"F*ck! why the hell did this pipe have so many holes?"He was getting frustrated by seeing the items that he was provided to do something 'useful'. The three-inch pipe that he took from the pile of items had numerous large holes in it and it didn't seem to be damaged due to some experiments but rather looked like some hor*y pervert's work."and what is with this chain?"The rusty chain was so docile that if he just pulled it a bit from both ends it would snap into pieces!Each and every item w

    Mike took the paper and pencil from the Old man and started to do a rough sketch of the hand pump. first, he drew two sides of a well and a long iron pipe at one side of the well from which the water will be drawn. and at the upper open end of the well, there was a handle for pumping. Inside the Iron pipe, he drew a circular plate-like thing that will be made of iron, and above it will be a layer of rubber with a check valve. it is drawn in such a way to explain that it will open when the handle of the pump is pushed downward and closes when it is pulled up. A similar check valve is added at the middle of the pipe so that water can only enter from outside and should never go out from inside. and on the upper end of the pipe, a gear is fixed with the piston chain to create pressure and pull up the water. He finished the drawing by sketching the head of the pump which covered the gear and a water outlet just below the handle. As soon as he finished the sketch numerous systems inva

    It was a complete unwelcoming quest! Was it because Mike didn't like the rewards? Hell no! 500 gold was worth a thousand dollars in real life if he converted it into real cash, Which was close to a month's salary if working at the construction site. Yet the best thing actually was the hidden class, 'Originator' which was ideal for him who was thinking of changing from his unknown class. Not to mention the title 'Renowned Alchemist'. Which would boost all his stats by+10! Mike currently had eight stats in total: strength, intelligence, dexterity, constitution, indomitable, composure, and Insight. If he added the 'Creativity' stat, that would equal Eight in total. If all of the stats were given a bonus of 10 points, it would be a total of 80 stat points.

    ‘What happened at that time was something that someone among my the Taylor siblings did.’ As Vincent Taylor confirmed, there is no doubt about it. In such a situation, he has nothing to worry about his siblings as Teressa said that she would take responsibility and make it so that there would be no eyes on him for about a year. Of course, unexpected threats can suddenly emerge somewhere. Just like the downtown incident a while ago. Then, should he move with all these situations in mind? Of course, that’s right. However, being cautious and hiding like a coward are completely different things. ‘Just because you have that in mind, you can’t just sit and crouch down inside the room.’ Anyway, Roger has to grow. The further he goes and the stronger he becomes, the more naturally he will be free from these threats. ‘I can’t help it until then.’ Therefore, the path he chose was to catch more and more people’s eyes. ‘Star disease?

He was the head of Genesis's development team as well as head of the New Era Group, so he slept less than four hours a day on average. Despite all that, was he unhappy?

    Mike who shut himself in the Workshop for more than an hour in-game came out noticing the inauguration is going to start.The first death penalty which decreased his movement speed by 50% for two hours was still in effect.Players were only allowed to play the game for 15 hours a day on which only one death was allowed, and after the first death, the user would be penalized with a huge 50% decrease in movement speed for two hours after the resurrection and if they die a second time, the person wouldn't be able to log in to the game for the next 12 hours in a real-time, which was quite a harsh penalty, since a day in real life would mean three days in Genesis, it would mean restriction for one and half days in-game.Currently, Mike with his measly 3 points in dexterity along with the -50% speed penalty, was slow as a turtle.But even then, during the time he was in the Workshop he was analyzing the different machines there.

    All the work related to the hand pump was completed and all that was left was the inauguration ceremony from when It would be officially in use, and it seemed like his quest would also be completed when the announcement is made. Every player was only allowed to play 15 hours a day in real-time considering that players wouldn't play the game excessively ignoring real life. There was still a lot of time before his log-out period would end. Mike had only played for 8 hours in real life which was equivalent to a day in-game, which meant that he still had another 7 hours till he would be forcefully logged out. "Well then, Shall we go hunting in meantime" He was oddly excited as it was his first time playing a game in a VR, the last time he remembered playing a game was on PC, so everything felt new and interesting. Mike was imagining just how it would feel to fight in VR. Of course, he had tried various technologies when he was a great figure but nothing he had seen was anywhere clos
