Majorca, who met his death at the hands of users in the final dungeon ‘Majorca’s Tomb,’ wanders the place unable to resolve his deep-seated grudges and falls into Capulet’s hell, Ampere.85d5202e9f35f09e

Ampere, where souls 7a2800a6e6 filled with malice e8bc0bb250 gather, is a d2383461f7 world disconnected from 188515003d the earthly realm. Its master, 17978c2090 Destroyer, possesses 2120c692cb the power 74f57933f8 to overturn 9a8e8e2193 Capulet.7bd1dd4cadc493a1

Soon after his fall, bb4535d019 Majorca realizes this and a758505ec6 tries to join forces 717cee9d9a with Destroyer to invade 38882ac1c8 the surface. However, Destroyer, a 355d3fe27d dead entity who 51fa9d245d has lost interest 918ba99a4b in living things, 5508a72687 eventually treats Majorca ac06ee16a0 with disdain and 37c363007c expels him from d43b9a89c4 his palace.57e952c42c9de44f

But even now, the Raptor kin are on the path to extinction at the hands of Capulet’s heroes. Enraged by hatred, Majorca plans to steal Destroyer’s power to return to the surface, continuously fighting and devouring souls to grow stronger.5b66fa02ea22eb35

After thousands of years, Majorca finally cuts off Destroyer’s life and inherits his position, becoming the master of Ampere.4dc58136539da8e6

Immediately afterward, Majorca assembles an army from the souls still yearning for the surface. He tears through the barrier separating Capulet and Ampere, returning to Majorca’s Tomb where his still-warm corpse lies.ae5dbca295f0edf5

However, the souls of Ampere are heretical beings who cannot wield their power under Capulet’s sun. Upon reaching the surface, Majorca feels his power draining away with tremendous pain. He gathers his remaining strength to create a dark shield over the tomb, barely escaping the sun, and tries to regain his power by devouring the souls that followed him.0edc7294e1c5cab5

Meanwhile, the allied forces advancing to annihilate the remaining Raptors hear that they cannot approach Majorca’s Tomb and return to the allied headquarters to investigate the anomaly.8673fde0a0abc54e

Upon returning to Majorca’s Tomb, where it has become the Valley of Death as the planes of Ampere and the world connect, the heroes face Majorca, who has resurrected once again in just a few days in real time.3818b166b1378055

The planes of the world have split due to the power of the goddess Ter. Once you fall below the nine layers, there’s no coming back.8e7dd0925c4d3785

With Jehyun’s calm voice, the five characters standing on the dry land were moved. The place they reappeared was a strange space where lava flowed up black walls. At the very top of the screen, above Majorca’s health bar, the floor number is indicated as 9F.84b0ba5b2a578ee8

Majorca, facing the heroes, tries to send them straight to hell, but due to Ter’s intervention, the contact surface between the two worlds splits into nine, granting a grace period. Users must defeat Majorca before falling into hell after passing through these nine layers.4f3f6cbd4aeb072b

All characters summoned to the 9th floor are moved down one level every three minutes. However, from the 4th floor, as they get closer to Ampere, Majorca’s power strengthens, and the time for moving down speeds up.4f06463b9de8a1d9

Moving from the 4th to the 3rd floor takes 2 minutes, from the 3rd to the 2nd takes 1 minute 30 seconds, and from the 2nd to the 1st floor takes 1 minute. If Majorca isn’t defeated within 40 seconds after reaching the 1st floor, the heroes fall into hell, where Majorca, free to use all his power, kills them instantly. If the heroes die, Majorca devours their souls to transcend, leading to Capulet’s downfall.4261d5fc3c826676

In other words, Majorca must be defeated within 20 minutes and 10 seconds. It’s a time attack, but the developers made it even harder by reducing the time attack window.3275da9da950f55e

There was a skill called ‘Call of Ampere,’ similar to ‘Call of Maternal’ from Majorca’s Tomb. While ‘Call of Maternal’ in the tomb summoned the spirits of Raptors to kill users and drag their corpses to their home planet, in the valley, ‘Call of Ampere’ makes hands emerge from the ground to pull the user’s soul to the lower floor.024c17caffa2f3aa

If you don’t retrieve your body within 30 seconds while out of body, you can’t be revived. Then, you would have to make Majorca go berserk to blow up the current floor and move down to revive your teammate.8969ba7cdb5f6efb

And as expected, Contempt, the official hole of the Countess Guild, had a particularly hard time surviving ‘Call of Ampere.’ Most of their forced floor changes were due to Contempt’s out-of-body experience.89ad8b12033fe512

Cute, so you’ll let it slide? That couldn’t be allowed. In Baekyung’s eyes, Contempt wasn’t cute at all, and even if he were a chain, with just a bit of intelligence, this gimmick could be avoided.abb4f4b13f68c821

Jehyun was laughing with his headset on. His attitude was relaxed because they were still on the 9th floor, but Baekyung couldn’t nod in agreement with his senior’s words.939b170efe2d6cf7

Cute? Cute, you say? Saying Contempt is cute while I’m right here? Baekyung’s face hardened into a pout. He turned his gaze back to the monitor while puffing out his cheeks in a petulant manner.ddf33bbfa45a040f

He repeats the same statement without a hint of wavering, just changing the unit. Jehyun next to him burst into laughter at Baekyung’s robot-like demeanor. Ahahaha, with a clear laugh, he turned to look at him as if he had gone mad.ca471e61098ab188

What nonsense is that? Contempt clearly didn’t deserve to be called ‘our kid’ by Shin Jehyun, and looking at how he was performing, you couldn’t call him a dealer either. Baekyung frowned and denied Contempt’s words.9a161816a35df8dd

In response to Baekyung’s cold words, Contempt answered dejectedly. This made everyone laugh again. So cute, really. Jehyun wiped away tears with the hand that was on the keyboard and dodged Majorca’s attack.4590fd160ac59dd4

As he saw the shockwave spreading from Majorca, whose rage gauge was at its maximum, he raised a shield. At the same time, as the party members’ HP was reduced by half, the floor shattered and broke apart, making their characters fall to the floor below.579cdf67326398ca

Jehyun burst into laughter as if he couldn’t handle the sound that resembled a puppy whining. Baekyung was trying to act cute because Jehyun said Contempt was cute, and this made him even more adorable.a493829277c52d90

Jehyun couldn’t help it. As Majorca was casting a skill, he moved his character to the back. After moving the healer to a spot where they wouldn’t get hit by the AoE, he quickly pushed his chair over and bit Baekyung’s lips.4bcbc3c4051668d0

Baekyung’s handsome eyes widened in surprise. Jehyun bit his lower lip once while Baekyung’s eyes were wide with shock, then quietly returned to his seat to make sure no embarrassing sounds were transmitted through his mic.1c461dd273d875b1

Now, all that was left was Habaek beating Majorca like a dog and Baekyung with his face flushed red. Jehyun smiled, seeing Baekyung’s damage bar skyrocketing.5edb71b902fe1751

Meanwhile, during an interview following his season final victory in the globally famous AOS game ‘Epic,’ pro-gamer Tiger mentioned the achievements of the Countess Guild, unexpectedly causing a snowball effect.24febc15558869b5

Tiger, revered as the god of Epic, had immense influence. Countless users, incomparable to Capulet’s, searched for Countess and Capulet on Google, and quickly got excited together with the players. If you relate what the Countess Guild did to Epic, it’s like clearing all seasons of the league. It was a dreamlike story.a779057bee33689f

Amidst all this, for the benefit of foreigners who couldn’t read the posts filled with abbreviated Korean and memes, someone translated the timeline into English and posted it on a huge American community.

Jehyun almost got caught up in Baekyung’s pace but regained his composure, shaking his head. But Baekyung took the initiative again, asking with a disappointed look, his eyebrows drooping.cb35230c0b15fadd

His expression looked like he might cry at any moment. His innocent eyes seemed somehow moist. That’s cheating… Jehyun’s heart softened immediately, and he reached out to stroke Baekyung’s cheek.d060a2b492258cd5

But even feeling sorry for him didn’t mean he could gloss over such matters. Coming out was something that needed to be handled carefully.ceeb00db433d8d10

“No, it’s not that. I also want to proudly tell the whole world that we’re dating. But from your parents’ perspective, it’s not an easy issue. We haven’t been dating that long, and introducing myself so soon might shock them. Wouldn’t it be better to wait a bit longer?”761d5b579895e434

“What does the length of time we’ve been dating have to do with anything? …Do you plan on breaking up with me?”466e247f98241772

“…”d72cf689d6fd2119

It wasn’t like that, but one never knows what might happen in life. Maybe it could happen. Jehyun was about to answer like that, but Baekyung’s gaze was intense, suggesting something was off.949377abe5cb2dd7

Jehyun had come to realize that Ha Baekyung wasn’t as innocent and pure as he thought. So, he quickly realized that if he answered ‘yes’ here, it might start a fight. He needed to answer carefully.d39c0006a3a17101

Shin Jehyun was not the type to hold back, so swallowing the words that had reached his throat was hard. But they had only been officially dating for about four months. He didn’t want to hurt feelings and fight over something like this after only a hundred days.86709b3287ebd9a7

Coming out, of course, was important. But was there a need to hurt feelings by assuming a negative future like ‘we might break up’? No, definitely not. The first to speak the truth often faces the worst fate.55829837a72dcb1d

Jehyun quickly rationalized 7f60c3d9db to himself and cf646e62c8 spoke up.69260f73cf07058e

After saying something he had never even thought of, Baekyung’s face lit up with a bright smile. Jehyun felt this topic was a bit dangerous. He sighed in relief internally and changed the subject.8b0cb9a29d977513

“But neither you nor your brother went to medical school? Didn’t your parents want you to go to medical school?”81fdafbbbfb6e59d

“Yes, since both of them worked hard to build their careers, they told us to do what we wanted. So Ha Jaekyung opened a cafe because he didn’t want to work, and I quit swimming to study Political Science.”ba5b19dbfa49efce

It wasn’t strange at all that Baekyung referred to his seven-year-older brother by name. From what Jehyun had experienced, Ha Jaekyung’s mental age wasn’t much different from Baekyung’s.41ee18870ee26be5

Anyway, hearing this made him curious. Baekyung didn’t like talking about swimming, so Jehyun hadn’t heard from him, but he remembered what Ha Jaekyung said during their time in high school. If not for the accident, Baekyung would have been an incredible athlete, representing the country at the Olympics.8eb2232a089c3460

If he worked that ad7af44583 hard, he must have 872c2dbbd0 loved swimming very much.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism? That was unexpected. But Baekyung’s demeanor was very serious.28bceb9f730641f1

“I’m going to develop the gaming industry from within the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.”a64a6e6c064f5839

If his thoughts leaped from swimming to developing the gaming industry, something must have had a significant impact on Baekyung’s values. Jehyun remembered that Baekyung started playing Caplet when he was 16 after quitting swimming. Could it be because of Caplet? he asked.925567b0b2eb77d1

“Did you dream of that because of Caplet?”a1af91d241e01c74

And Baekyung nodded.130daf1763d2aafd

“Yes. Caplet was the first game I ever played, and I thought it was incredible content. But both my parents and other adults treated games like a social evil. So, I want to join the Ministry and change the fundamental view on games. Well, since I’m not from a political family, it might take a long time, or it might even be impossible, but there’s no harm in trying, right?”4e34b8c5308f140a

A thin smile appeared on Jehyun’s face.4fe5021bca97fd65

Baekyung’s words were filled with a love for games that one could only have if they genuinely enjoyed them. The fact that he loved Caplet, which Jehyun also loved, made his heart swell with warmth.

After washing the empty 6289e1f1d8 lunchbox containers and putting 099574642d them in the utility d09c3c5f84 room, they made coffee. As Jehyun was taking 2073c4765c out a pie from 5105f7602a the fridge for them 174ecc6159 to share, Baekyung suddenly 5565c507ee asked:5972d2bd425f765b

Ha Baekyung knew about the interview request from the current affairs entertainment program. But he didn’t know that the host was the national announcer Shin Jehyun or that this Shin Jehyun was Jehyun’s brother.98c4aafdcdfa8849

Was it time to tell him now? Jehyun felt a bit embarrassed to reveal this fact like it was a coming-out moment since it wasn’t that big of a deal. However, not telling him now might seem like he was hiding something, so Jehyun placed the pie dish on the table and spoke up.319f9a00477bdeab

Even though the show that requested their appearance was very popular, he didn’t know who the host was. Jehyun had thought Baekyung would at least know the name Shin Jehyun, but he was ashamed to inform Baekyung that his brother was quite famous, feeling his face flush with embarrassment.2fd3e846e6fb2a98
