The Game of a Legendary Genius Dark Mage

2.

Short—a once promising player in Eternal World.

No, rather—

A player who used to be promising.

At one point, he had been among the top rising talents in the Eclipse Order, the 4th-ranked guild.

Though he had been pushed aside as part of Mayrin’s backup team,

It wasn’t because he lacked skill.

If Eclipse Order wasn’t a guild that thrived on solo-ranked players,

He would have been one of their most valuable rising stars.

But after Mayrin left, everything changed.

The guild was desperate to hold its position.

They turned him into a hunting dog.

At first, he had refused.

But the amount of money they offered was too much to ignore.

"With this much money… even if I leave later, I’ll still come out on top."

That was how he justified it.

And it wasn’t a bad deal.

After all—

This was supposed to be a foolproof plan.

With the support of major guilds, including Tempest Wing,

A collective raid against the Demon King was set into motion.

They were going to repeatedly assassinate him,

Preventing his growth by eliminating him over and over again.

An endless kill loop.

It should have worked.

It would have worked—

If not for the unexpected variable.

Emerging from his capsule, Short screamed in frustration.

"Damn it! Why the hell was the branch leader there?!"

One NPC had ruined everything.@@novelbin@@
