Every day, their schedules are packed. Day and night, rain or shine, they grind—relentlessly. Whether there's a typhoon outside or the world is ending, people like them don’t flinch. They only care about one thing… games.

These people are called Gamers.

They log in daily to complete quests, even if it means squeezing them into a schedule already tighter than a boss fight timer. They clear entire storylines in one sitting, conquer final bosses as if they were tutorial enemies, and some even open a separate savings account—exclusively for games.

True gamers are said to be some of the most hardcore individuals alive. You do not want to make one your enemy.

“Games aren’t just a hobby. They’re a way of life.”

—said by someone.

In short, their entire existence revolves around games.

And that just so happens to be the life of Sion.

Sion is a second-year high school student at Silicon Valley Technical High School. Her most unique trait? She’s completely unremarkable. Her bob haircut is so gen

    A new day has come, and like everyone always says, a new day holds a new, bright future.It's one of those hopeful expressions I want to believe in—but judging by the dark, moody sky outside, my future looks more overcast than sunny.I sighed to myself, the kind of sigh that feels like it comes from somewhere deep, almost theatrical in its drama.It’s been two days since I got hospitalized after that lovely little run-in with Saint White. Every injury I got? Miraculously gone. Not a scratch left, like someone hit Ctrl+Z on my entire body.As for the hospital bills? Amber handled everything. Said it was part of her apology for dragging me into the twisted world of the Dark Side.Along with the apology came an offer: I could leave the organization. Return to my normal life. The classic “get out while you can” route.But here's the thing: I haven’t given her an answer. It’s… awkward. How do I just walk away from the people I’ve met and friends I’ve made?Sure, the safe answer would be to

    In the deepest chambers of a forgotten subterranean hideout called Nether, the scent of sweet corn tea drifted through the air, warm and oddly nostalgic.Porcelain cups clinked softly on a white marble table—an oddly elegant centerpiece in a place rumored to house the world’s most dangerous cult.Saint White, leader of the enigmatic Cult of White, brought the teacup to her lips with measured grace.Her pristine white robes shimmered faintly, untouched by even a single speck of dust, as if reality itself dared not defile her presence."Mmm… What is this tea?"She mused, licking a bit of sugar from the rim."It’s sweet… but it lingers with such a soft, earthy aftertaste. I like it."She delicately reached for a cookie, biting into it with the calm of someone who knew they could level a city in the time it took to finish dessert.“The tea is called sweet corn tea, Mistress.”Replied Sister Angelina, the devoted high priestess of the cult.She poured another cup for Saint White with tremb

    In a single moment, the entire world turned white.And then—chaos. My eyes widened in disbelief at the devastation. In just that one instant, the city was thrown into complete disarray.Sirens blared. The air crackled with static. People ran in all directions, screaming and crying, their voices blending into one mass of panic.I didn’t even understand what had just happened. But it was clear—thousands of lives vanished in the blink of an eye.Still shaking, Ayumi dropped to her knees, hands covering her mouth as tears streamed down her cheeks.“What… what is that?”Her voice trembled as she looked to me for answers.“Neo Silicon Valley was supposed to be one of the safest cities in the world, right? We have technology that surpasses other nations. A huge percentage of the people here are ability users. So… how? How is this happening?”I had no answer.The kids playing in the park with us were frozen in shock.Their young minds couldn’t begin to process what just unfolded before their

    After the wide broadcast from Saint White announcing the start of her war game, Amber immediately dashed into the chaotic streets of Neo Silicon Valley.Sirens wailed, people screamed, and the once orderly city had become a storm of panic.Civilians shoved each other in a desperate rush toward the shelters. Running was difficult—Amber had to weave and dodge through the frantic crowd.Pulling out her phone, Amber opened the group chat for the FLAMES organization and hit the call button.“Is everyone okay?! Please answer me!”Amber cried.She waited, heart pounding with every passing second, until replies finally came in.“I’m okay,” Fina answered first.“Same here,” came Sion’s quick message.“I’m with Mei and Emma in the Hideout,” Lynn added.Amber let out a shaky breath of relief. “Thank goodness... everyone’s safe.”“Did you all see that broadcast earlier?” she asked.“Yes. The Cult of White is going all-out,” Fina replied. “They’ve planted bombs around the city and let their cultis

    “He’s too much!”“His power is just too much!”“W-WHOAAAH!!”Screams filled the air as white-robed cultists were blasted away by an invisible force, then slammed into the ground as if gravity itself had multiplied, forcing them to their knees.“That’s right... Kneel. Kneel before the mighty S-Class standing before you.”The voice dripped with arrogance.A cocky grin stretched across the face of Robin, one of the city’s elite — the 6th S-Class Ability User.“Sixth S-Class... you’re mine!” shouted one of the cultists, launching a crackling bolt of lightning straight at him.Robin didn’t even flinch.The lightning twisted in midair, veering off-course before it could reach him.“W-What?! That was light-speed! How did he intercept it?!”Robin let out a mocking laugh. “Simple, dumbass. My Vector Drive coats my body in a kinetic defense field. Even if someone catches me off-guard, the velocity of their attack is redirected before impact. It's essential protection when you’re at the top — ev

    “There’s no way out. The building is collapsing. I’m going to die here…”A paranoid office girl, trembling and pale, curled herself tightly beneath her desk like a frightened animal. Her breath came in shallow gasps. All around her was chaos—smoke, dust, and the scent of blood and burnt wiring.She wasn’t alone on this floor.Some of her coworkers were wounded, others already dead.A terrorist had detonated a bomb inside their office building.The power was gone, the emergency lights flickered weakly, and the stairwell was completely buried in debris.Outside, cultists in white robes were wreaking havoc. Through shattered windows, she could hear screaming, gunshots, and unholy chants. No matter where she looked, death loomed.Her eyes fell on the cutter on her desk.She reached for it with shaking hands, her mind spiraling. The unthinkable crept in.“Maybe I should just end it here… Nothing good has ever happened in my life anyway. This shitty, boring life… Maybe it’s better this way.

    Meanwhile, deep beneath Neo Silicon Valley...In a forgotten underground chamber, hidden even from the highest officials, a vast, ancient library lay in silence.Towering shelves lined the walls, stacked with dusty tomes long erased from public knowledge.At its heart, a man in his forties sat at a colossal stone table, reading a massive book under the flicker of dim, golden light.His hair was snow-white, cascading down like threads of age and wisdom. His golden eyes shimmered faintly—but look closer, and you’d see the eyes of a man long dead on the inside.Eyes that had given up on something vital to the soul.This man was the Chairman.The enigmatic founder of Neo Silicon Valley.His true name lost to time—perhaps never known at all. His name was a mystery in the world."Chairman..." a voice echoed through the solemn chamber. "Things in the city are getting out of hand. If that crazy woman attacks again, we might not survive it."The speaker, Mayor William, approached anxiously. B

    Moving at high speed in one direction, Robin levitated high above the city, scanning the landscape for something, someone.His eyes narrowed.He could feel an overwhelming surge of energy rushing from a specific point.That power was impossible to miss.It was like a flood, raw and pure.The aura was so massive, Robin almost doubted it was coming from a single human.“This much energy…” he muttered. “It’s stronger than that smug bastard sitting in the number one spot.”His voice was tight with disbelief and irritation.Far below, Saint White lifted her head ever so slightly, her eyes scanning the sky with ease.From that distance, she could already feel it—someone was watching her.“It’s too early. But I suppose someone managed to come see me.”Saint White said with a carefree smile.“What are we going to do?”Sister Angelina asked, standing calmly beside her.“Nothing…” Saint White said, brushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear. “It’s not like that man is capable of defeating

    The night was heavy, suffocating, as shadows clung to the narrow alley behind an abandoned building.Through the thick darkness, a lone girl moved with silent steps, her petite frame almost blending into the gloom. Her long, light brown hair flowed behind her like a ghostly veil, catching the faint glimmer of a distant streetlight. Fuse.A security camera mounted high above tracked her movement, its red light blinking steadily.At the other end of the live feed, deep within a hidden research facility, a girl in a crisp white lab coat leaned closer to the screen, her voice steady and clinical as she spoke into a headset.Ring! Ring! Ring!The girl's phone vibrated in her pocket.She answered without hesitation, pressing it lightly to her ear."Fuse... Your target has arrived at the location. Your target is the man in the red hoodie. The retriever is standing by, ready to intervene if necessary."The researcher said in a measured tone, as if narrating a simple experiment rather than a m

  • Chapter 48: Fuse

    I know I told her that I’m treating her to dinner, but why does it feel like she’s taking full advantage of it?The amount of food she just ordered… it’s enough to feed an entire family for three days straight. A normal person wouldn’t even dream of eating this much in one sitting.“So many…”I muttered in disbelief, staring at the mountain of food laid out across the table like a buffet.And then, there’s this girl munching through the plates like there’s no tomorrow, like she’s been starving for days. She stuffed her mouth full, barely taking a breath, completely absorbed in the feast in front of her.A normal person would have stopped her from ordering so much, but seeing her devour the food with such desperation... I just didn’t have the heart. Maybe this really was her first proper meal after a very long time. It made me wonder what she had been through.This girl... she must have been dealing with a lot.“By the way, we haven’t introduced ourselves properly yet…”I said, trying

    “Hey, scumbag! This girl doesn’t even know you!”“Are you trying to fool us?!”“This guy’s seriously pissing me off. What’s this? Are you playing the hero to look cool in front of the girl? That’s so damn annoying. I love beating up righteous idiots like you the most. People who think they get to decide what’s right and wrong!”The thug cracked his knuckles together, the sound echoing menacingly in the narrow street.The atmosphere grew heavier by the second. I could feel the tension thickening, violence practically radiating from these guys. Their eyes locked on me with pure hostility. They were ready to explode.“Again. I will ask. Who are you? Why did you call me Mio?”The girl repeated, her voice calm and detached.Shut up already!Why couldn’t she read the room? Was this girl completely clueless or just stupid?!I originally wanted to solve this peacefully, to get her out of this mess without throwing a single punch. But she wasn’t playing along. She wasn’t giving me even the tin

    Too bad for Ayumi — she wasn’t able to come with me because of an important role a shrine maiden must fulfill. She looked absolutely dejected when she received the sudden call, informing her that she was needed for another ceremony.I honestly felt a little bad for her. Who knows how long this treasure hunting event would even last in the city? It’s not like opportunities like this come around every day.But for me? This was the perfect chance to snag some easy money.I pulled out my phone and continued reading articles about the treasure hunting craze, focusing on the places where the money envelopes were most often spotted.“I wish I had an ability to track things...” I muttered to myself. Right as I said that, one face immediately popped into my mind. Fina.If I remembered correctly, Fina was the data analyst of our team. She also had an ability called Tracker. Even without using her special powers, her brain alone would be more than enough to help me out with something like this.

    “Mio!”The voice of someone unfamiliar echoed sharply through the air.Before I could even react, a violent kick sent me flying backward, and blood started dripping from my nose.A girl I had never seen before stood there, glaring at me like I was the biggest piece of trash in existence.Groaning, I picked myself up, rubbing my cheek that was already starting to swell from the blow.Meanwhile, the unknown girl rushed over and helped Mio stand.“Pervert! Pervert! Why does a worthless human being like you even exist in this world?! That’s it, I’m calling the police!”She screamed hysterically. And then, she frantically pulled out her phone.Things escalated way too fast.“Hey, it’s not what it looks like! I didn’t mean to look at her underwear! I wasn’t even harassing her, Mio, please tell her! Tell her it’s all just a misunderstanding!”I panicked, waving my hands in front of me.Mio thankfully stepped in.“Nanase, he’s telling the truth…” she said, though her voice was a little shaky.

    Instead of feeling happy while munching on my snack, a bitter aftertaste was left lingering in my mouth. And no, it wasn’t the flavor at all. It was more like… my mood… And Amber asking for me to pay.Feeling grossed out and frustrated, I decided to clear my head by getting some fresh air.Maybe a short walk around the area would help. After all, this was a new place our so-called “new home” and I hadn't really explored this part of the city before. Walking around could be fun… maybe.That was the plan at least.But seriously, is it just me, or is the weather today absolutely insane?I wiped the sweat dripping down my forehead, pulled out my phone, and checked the city’s reported heat index."Thirty-seven degrees?! Are we living inside an oven now?!"I shouted, attracting the weird stares of a few random passersby.I instantly regretted stepping outside.I scrambled around like a headless chicken, desperately searching for any shade nearby.Finally, I spotted a huge tree with a lonely

    I’m so annoyed right now.Seriously, it’s driving me insane.However, I’m not the kind of person who enjoys complaining about every little thing. I usually like to keep my mouth shut and just deal with stuff. But this? This is different. There’s no justice at all in what’s happening.I feel like those shitheads are constantly abusing their authority, punishing people left and right without even bothering to consider our feelings or the circumstances we’re going through.Of course, I’m talking about our professors.It’s been two weeks since the whole White Cult incident. Two brutal, exhausting weeks. So many people lost their homes, their livelihoods, their entire lives. Others are still struggling, still trapped in the process of accepting the horrible, unforgivable things that happened. Some wake up every day wondering if it was just a nightmare, only to realize it’s their new reality.What I’m trying to say is that the entire city was thrown into complete chaos.Everything collapsed

  • Chapter 42: Aftermath

    After successfully capturing the White Cultists who had invaded the city and managing to defuse all of the bombs without triggering mass destruction, Arthur—S-Class, ranked Number One among ability users—entered Mayor William's office to deliver his report.The room was located on the top floor of Neo Silicon Valley’s municipal tower, its wide glass windows overlooking the damaged skyline.Ash still lingered in the air, carried by the wind like the whispers of the fallen.The mayor, a man in his fifties with streaks of silver in his neatly combed hair, sat behind a curved obsidian desk, his expression unreadable as he set down his digital pen.“What is the status?”Mayor William asked, his tone calm but laced with fatigue.The shadows beneath his eyes hinted at sleepless nights and the burden of leadership.Arthur, still wearing his battle-damaged tactical uniform, stood tall with arms crossed. His face was cold and composed.“Everything is progressing smoothly,” Arthur began in a deep

    Moments later.The darkness in the sky slowly faded.Above the battlefield, the full moon emerged—soft and radiant, casting silver light over the shattered remains of the city. The silence that followed was deafening, yet oddly peaceful, as though the world itself was exhaling after holding its breath for too long.A voice echoed in Amber’s earpiece.“Amber, can you hear me?” Fina’s voice cracked slightly, but she was trying to sound cheerful. “Seems like all the terrorists have been defeated and the bombs are all defused.”“That’s good to know.” Amber exhaled, lowering her weapon. “How about everyone in the organization? Is anyone badly hurt?”“Everyone’s safe. Mei’s already setting up for the karaoke party to celebrate our success. You better sing this time.”Amber let out a faint chuckle. “I’ll think about it.”“Anyways… did you defeat her?”Amber’s eyes wandered toward the two figures across the field. “No,” she said softly. “But someone I know did.”“Who?”Amber smiled faintly. “I
