The all-nighter weekend grind had taken its toll on Lee Won-sang and Oh Jin-hyuk, both returning to the User Management Team looking utterly drained. Their dark circles told the tale of the grueling, impromptu event that had them working to the bone. But despite their exhaustion, no one welcomed them back with sympathy—it wasn’t that kind of workplace.

“Oh man, what did he get this time?” Jin-hyuk muttered nervously.

The answer was clear to everyone: the event rewards had propelled numerous players to new heights. And all of this chaos stemmed from the initiative of none other than Lee Won-sang. The resentful glares from his colleagues weren’t subtle.

Feeling the weight of those stares, Jin-hyuk’s voice quivered. “...I-I wouldn’t know.”

Lee Won-sang, however, remained silent. He was too busy dreading the fallout from this mess.

Seong’s performance had, once again, defied all expectations. Not only had he taken first place, but he had also gained 21 levels. The mere thought of what else he might have acquired was unsettling. Legendary boxes, high-level skills, rare items—the list went on. And with every reward claimed, Seong inched closer to becoming unstoppable.

Won-sang grimaced.

“I should’ve known... Echo Willow, those spineless cowards.”

Even villains like them were a headache for the User Management Team, but this time, their retreat stung more than usual. If they’d pressed on, even Seong couldn’t have held out. Instead, they had buckled, handing him a clean victory.@@novelbin@@
