Synopsis

Hoon triggers a hidden SS-difficulty quest to awaken and defeat 'Immortal' to become the Dark Lord, a quest shared with his leader. Meanwhile, Ian's guild is strategizing a large-scale retreat from the central continent to establish a principality on the northern continent, using their fame from fighting Kaimon as justification, and preparing to utilize new technology. These plans suggest both individual and organizational power progressions are underway, with high stakes and potential for conflict.
