The Level 15 Highest-difficulty stage was cleared without any significant victims in particular. And next week, the Level 16 Low, Intermediate, High, and Highest-difficulty stages were cleared. They were literally smooth clears. Then, again the next week, the Level 17, Low, Intermediate, High, and Highest-difficulty stages were cleared. And, just like that… November came. 

"Wahh, if these were usual days, it would be time to take the College Scholastic Ability Test."

"College Scholastic Ability Test... Keke. Chul-soo, a Senior[1] together with us in high school, turned 40."

"Haven't you turned 30 too?"

"Whatever. The flow of time is a mess."

"I felt like I've spent my entire life in the stage, but it's only been two months on Earth's time..."

Kwareukkkkkkk!!!! There were blue flashes of light behind the lamenting players. Whoooooook--!

A cloud of dirt scattered and revealed the battlefield, a surreal scene of a 30-meter-tall giant holding a spear longer than his body. In front of him, bizarrely shaped monsters were seen frightened and faltering. No one would dare believe that each of those monsters were First-Tier Demons who could push a decent country into ruins in an hour. But of course, the giant was not really dealing with the monsters alone. 

"Artillery! Fire!!!"

"Let's earn some points!! Fireeee!!!!" 

Whooooosh!!! Mana Bullets rained down from the artillery units...
