Although other members of the Heaven and Earth Clan gradually returned to the game, Edgar was nowhere to be seen.0

According to Robina, he was never an exemplary player and only leveled up rapidly after joining the Heaven and Earth Clan.0

Crockta recalled the story he had heard from Ji Ha-Yeon—that a group of unethical players was using illegally modified capsules and drugs to induce comatose states in other players and boost their assimilation rates.

Edgar could be in such a situation.0

“It was nice receiving royal treatment thanks to Crockta,” said Anor with a grin.1

“I didn’t know you were so popular in Maillard… Of course, I’m popular in Quantes,” said Tiyo.0

“I miss the karuks,” commented Anor.0

“Farewells are inevitable,” replied Tiyo.0
