A three-story building.
The sign had large letters written on it.
[Heater Guild]
A man with his arms crossed and his head tilted as he looked at the sign.
“at las….!”
He said in a joyful voice.
“It’s a new beginning.”
The Heater Guild was a small to medium-sized player guild of its own.
There were over a hundred members in total, and Kim Pil-jong, the guild leader of the Heater Guild, could be said to be a master who had reached the ranker.
A guild with solid foundations and a good reputation among those around them.
That was the heater guild.
“Guild Leader. Are you happy?”
Kim Pil-jong nodded at the voice coming from beside him.
“That’s true.”
There was deep emotion in his eyes.
“Now that the hardships are over, how could I not be happy?”
Originally, Heater was a guild that had its base in Seoul, which was under the volcano’s sphere of influence.
Kim Pil-jong, who established a guild independent from the original guild under the mountain.
But the reality was so different from what he thought.
“When was the last time you properly attacked a gate?”
Although he became independent under the volcano, Kim Pil-jong did not follow the volcano.
“It must have been three months.”
It was because I was sick of the trashy things that had been done at the foot of the volcano and the acts that disregarded human dignity.
However, the reason he set up a guild in Seoul was because all the connections and assets he had accumulated over the years were in Seoul.
But the price for not following Hwasan and forming a guild in Seoul was too high.
“What about our guild members who died in that attack?”
“Six people died.”
It couldn’t be called a proper guild.
It became a small guild because the players who originally believed in and followed Kim Pil-jong became independent, and it received a good evaluation due to Kim Pil-jong’s considerable efforts.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
The reality was no different from a rotting, rotten corpse.
The price of not following the volcano in its sphere of influence.
It was impossible to obtain a proper gate conquest right, and even if it was obtained, it could only be conducted in the form of a joint conquest or being used by the unmanned guild of the Volcano.
They were treated as nothing more than porters or arrow shields.
It was a time of enduring such sorrow.
“So what is our current planned strategy?”
“There are five.”
Kim Pil-jong smiled.
A new opportunity.
“Gyeonggi-do is the land of opportunity.”
Kim Pil-jong abandoned everything he had built and moved the Heater Guild to Gyeonggi-do.
‘galaxy.’
It was a gamble with the Galaxy in mind, who had made a name for themselves at the gates of this match.
The galaxy has been evaluated as not having bad treatment towards players.
Most people did not believe the rumors they heard, but Kim Pil-jong, who thought he could not die like this, secretly contacted Baran and promised to transfer.
and.
“We took that opportunity.”
In conclusion, Kim Pil-jong’s choice shone.
Thanks to his promise of a quick transfer, he was promised many privileges in the galaxy’s Baran, and he realized that the rumors that others did not believe were true.
“The galaxy has no special discrimination against players.”
However, it is not a form of treating players well, but rather like free-range.
But that’s where.
There was no place in Seoul, where the heater was originally located, or anywhere in South Korea, that treated it this way.
The same was true in China and other parts of Asia.
Although there may be differences, Gyeonggi-do is the only place that provides players with this kind of opportunity.
Shh.
Also, how about this?
Gyeonggi-do was a vast land incomparable to Seoul.
There were so many gates created there that it was impossible for Baran or Eunha to monopolize them.
Land of opportunity.
“We start anew here.”
Kim Pil-jong spoke without suppressing his surging emotions.
“From now on, the heater… .”
That was when.
“Congratulations on your opening.”
A guest has arrived.

“That’s nonsense!”
Kim Pil-jong shouted frivolously, forgetting his old age.
“How…!”
His chubby cheeks told us how angry he was.
But those who deal with him.
“You say that doesn’t make sense?”
The man, with his hair neatly slicked back, spoke with a relaxed attitude.
“Are you denying the fact that Guild Leader Kim Pil-jong borrowed two billion won from Money Carry five years ago?”
“How could that be!”
Kim Pil-jong sat down and spoke, barely controlling his emotions.
“I definitely borrowed it.”
This was the story of five years ago when I became independent and founded the guild.
At that time, I definitely had to borrow money to found a guild because the money I had saved up for independence was not enough.
“You borrowed an additional five billion won three years ago.”
“… … … .”
That was also true.
Guild life in Seoul: Guild master Kim Pil-jong, far from making a fortune, is left with a mountain of debt.
Since he couldn’t properly attack the gate, he had no way to make money, and he couldn’t let the hundred or so players who believed in him and followed him starve.
I sold my house and sold all my assets to get by, but I had no choice but to borrow more money.
“A total of seven billion won. You borrowed it.”
Everything that man said is true.
but….
“I am paying off both the principal and the interest!”
Kim Pil-jong was paying back the money properly.
“But you’re saying you’re going to transfer ownership of the Heater Guild!”
But the man says that if he can’t pay his debt, he will take the Heater Guild.
“Haven’t you checked the revised contract?”
A man shaking documents at Kim Pil-jong.
“It’s clear that the seal of Guild Leader Kim Pil-jong is stamped here.”
“… … !”
Kim Pil-jong’s eyes widened.
“The seal is….”
I had lost it.
It was lost by a thief who entered the guild, and was later reissued.
But Kim Pil-jong could tell.
‘I got hit.’
That his cries only ring hollow.
“… … .”
Kim Pil-jong, who had closed his eyes, carefully opened them and said.
“How much is my debt in total?”
Money Carry, the company he had borrowed money from, was a loan company run by a former colleague of his.
Because of that connection, I borrowed money at an interest rate that was excessive but acceptable.
“Three hundred and fifteen billion, sixty-two million won.”
But even though I thought I had been paying off the principal and interest steadily, the answer I received was so absurd that it was almost impossible.
‘I’ve heard of it.’
This happens often.
“Money Carry… has been acquired?”
It’s been about two years since I lost contact with the president of Money Carry, from whom I borrowed money.
I was too busy trying to make a living to look for him, and I just let it go because I had no problem paying my debts without contacting him.
That was a failure.
Shh.
A man laughing at Kim Pil-jong’s words.
“That is correct.”
Darkness fell over Kim Pil-jong’s face.
A case I’ve often heard.
A story about players who were desperate for money, borrowed money and repaid it faithfully, but lost all their assets after being tied to a contract that was changed without their consent.
This outrageous, illegal and fraudulent practice against players continues to this day.
The entity that commits the fraud.
“It was acquired by Geumgae Group.”
The Golden Group.
“Open… .”
It’s open.
“Where can you find such absurd behavior!”
At that moment, the guild leader, unable to hold back any longer, stood up and shouted.
“I will formally report this to the association and the society! Such a fraudulent act….”
He said he couldn’t control his anger, but he was careful because the name was so high.
“fraud?”
But that was only the Guild Leader’s thoughts.
“Are you… calling us scammers just now?”
“That’s what they say….”
“How dare you.”
A murderous look appears on the face of the man who had been sitting calmly.
“That beggar kid is calling someone a conman.”
The way of speaking has completely changed.
“Seriously…!”
Kim Pil-jong stood up and tried to stop her, but his voice seemed to be blocked by something and would not come out.
“If you borrowed money, you have to pay it back. Don’t you see the stamp here? Am I a scammer? Or are you the ones who borrowed money and then avoided paying it back the way you are?”
Now the man who had stood up glared at the guild leader.
“That, that….”
The guild leader also tried to protest at that sight.
“Kill him.”
The man’s orders came down too easily.
Phew!
A dull thud echoed through the guild master’s office of the Heater Guild.
Pick. Brrrr.
The guild leader collapsed and was floating, his head was badly sunken in.
The man in a suit standing behind the man suddenly moved and was holding a thick club in his hand.
“Those damn guys. Who the hell dare call someone a conman?”
A man smiling with a life-threatening attitude.
Kim Pil-jong closed his eyes tightly.
‘It’s the end.’
I thought it was an opportunity, a new beginning.
but….
Kwak.
For the players, the inhabitants of Earth, a dream-like future did not exist.
“Association? Association? Do whatever you want. But today we have the Heater Guild. Clear everything out, because if you don’t get out right now, I’ll kill you all.”
* * *
“Guild leader.”
The voice calling Kim Pil-jong.
Brrrr.
The guild members were trembling.
It was both because I was scared and because I was angry.
“Really… empty?”
At this very moment, guild members who had cleaned up and packed their bags were leaving the building again carrying their luggage.
“Guild Master…!”
It was crazy.
As players who had been following Kim Pil-jong for a long time, they knew the affection and hard work that Kim Pil-jong had for the Heater Guild.
But the guests who arrived suddenly took everything away.
“Guild Leader!”
Still, nothing can be done.
I know it is wrong, immoral, and illegal.
“Guild Leader… .”
Still, nothing can be done.
“Then what should we do?”
There is no one who will take their side.
If the opponents were players, or a large corporation created by players or ordinary people, it would be worth fighting.
Because there are still laws and morals in this world.
But all those standards only applied to the inhabitants of Earth.
“The opponent is the Geumgae group.”
silver.
“That’s what openness means.”
No one can help against openness.
The guild leader who died with his head exploded mentioned the association or society.
‘Will they help us?’
Those who have remained silent on countless issues and only taken rough measures?
no.
“ha ha ha….”
Can we ever receive compensation for the life of the guild leader who was found dead in his bedroom in broad daylight?
“ha ha ha….”
This is the world.
Kwak.
I was maddened by the fact that I had even a moment of hope in this world.
At that moment, the man who came out of the golden cage came back to Kim Pil-jong.
“Okay, the Heater Guild Building, the list of properties the Heater Guild owned, and….”
He speaks while looking over the documents.
“I will set the price at around 150 billion won, including the value of the heater. So….”
Shh.
“There’s a little over 150 won left. I’ll be counting on you in the future. Guild leader… no, player Kim Pil-jong.”
Kim Pil-jong thought at the voice that was clearly mocking him.
‘Let’s die.’
When he opened his eyes again, there was a murderous look in his eyes.
Since this life is going to lead to hell anyway, I’m going to throw a tantrum like a dog right before it dies.
“Everything that happens from now on is not done by the heater, as you said, but by me, the player Kim Pil-jong.”
Kim Pil-jong held the sword tightly around his waist.
That was when.
“I came to congratulate you on your opening.”
A languid voice came from behind.
