The Taj Mahal was crowded with tourists as it was one of the world's most famous attractions.

It was usually surrounded by dirty fog and fine dust, but today the weather was clear and its magnificent and beautiful appearance was fully visible after a long time. Hence, it was way more crowded than ever before.

Then, something began to emerge from one corner of the giant Taj Mahal.

Flutter- Flutter-

It was a moth, but it was the size of a human adult, making it too big to be called a simple moth.

Moreover, its wings were covered with black powder, and each time the moth flapped its wings, the black power was scattered little by little.

Then, following the first giant moth, another giant moth began to appear right after it.

They were the so-called poisonous insects within the Revival Legend.

"Blizzard!"

Puck! Puck! Puck!

The more I saw it, the more I confirmed that the power of level 9 Blizzard was tremendous.

Of course, it didn't show such enormous power simply because it was level 9, for even high level skills needed to be backed up by the proper items, Intellect, and sufficiently high magic attack power.

I had enough skills, intellect as well as magic attack power. The only thing I regretted was the long cooldown.

Having short cooldowns for ice-type skills compared to others is my pride, but Blizzard's cooldown was quite long perhaps because it was level 9 and an AOE skill.

"Wow! He must be crazy."

"You bet. I never expected anybody to kill that giant monster with a single attack."

"Hey! What are you talking about? Damn it. How can he use such a formidable force so easily like that?"

"You're stupid. He killed the monsters like that from the beginning."

"Right. He uses Ice Storm, Ice Rain, and Pouring Hail almost twice as fast as the ice-type wizards I know. Maybe even three times faster."

"But..."

"What are you talking about? Do you still think of Asirante as an ordinary user?"

"..."

"From the moment Asirante killed all the giant monsters herded by our teams here in the Giant's Grave, he could no longer be classified as an ordinary user. He is broken. So don't think of it too seriously. Just accept it."

All the members of the herding team were making comments about me.

Certainly, one of the things that underpinned my strength were short cooldowns because a fast cooldown means you can attack two to three times for every time your opponent attacks once, resulting in huge damage.

'Hmm, I guess so…'

Certainly, in their eyes, I was attacking the giant monsters pretty fast.

As a matter of fact, the combination of the Iceman trait, the cooldown reductions passive skill, the +4 Enhancement Ice Emperor guardian sword as well a whopping 13,000 willpower was something that other could not even imagine

Moreover, they know how fraudulent it is to have skills with zero cooldown.

But I had Blink with zero cooldown.

There was a reason why I used the recently acquired Blizzard or the Ice Emperor's guardian sword without hiding anything. It was because I was hiding 30% of my total power even then since I was keeping Blink with zero cooldown under wraps.

Anyway, as usual, I visited Team No. 1, Team No. 2, Team No. 3 and Team No. 4 in turn for herd hunting, and I saw them all whispering among each other for some reason.

Exactly at that moment, I received a message from my sister.

[Super Beauty: Juyoung?]

[Lumen: Why?]

Her urgency made me think that something very unusual happened, something very big, since it matched the urgent whispering of the Mirae Guild members behind me. I had a strong intuition that they shared the same reason.

And I could not help but be surprised by what she said next.

Even though I knew that the 4th virtual reality would affect reality someday, the actual appearance of monsters in the real world was not something to make light of.

[Super Beauty: Monster! Monsters appeared in reality. They appeared in the Taj Mahal, India! The Internet is going crazy over it right now!]

[Lumen: ....]

At that moment I felt dizzy. Honestly, it may be a disaster for humanity, but I felt a bit welcoming about it deep down. I thought that it would be nice if the 4th virtual reality would come true as soon as possible because I could say confidently that no human being was more fully prepared for that disaster than me.

Basically, I was so strong, and I had more than 100,000 coins, the only means to translate my strength into reality.

In other words, I was like a hero prepared for these turbulent times.

Of course, I had no intention of becoming a hero to save mankind.

If I had had such an idea, I would have made an effort to inform the world about my idea in advance. However, I tried hard to strengthen myself only, comforting myself with the thought that no matter how hard I tried, people would not recognize my efforts and my useless interference might put my family in danger.

Anyway, monsters appeared in reality as if to satisfy my petty desire to have people look up to me and envy me, but even then, I could not find the right response to my sister's shocking remarks.

In the meantime, my sister kept sending me messages one after the other.

[Super Beauty: It's a hot issue on the internet right now. So, pack all your stuff and come back today. We don't know when monsters will appear in Korea!]

[Lumen: All right.]

In the past, I lived outside because I didn't want to invite others' suspicions.

In particular, my dad agreed with my idea that I would play a dual role under the name Asirante. However, it would certainly draw more suspicion from others if I continued to live outside, in a situation where monsters actually appeared in the real world, so I didn't balk at my sister's order.

And the real reason why I chose to live outside my main house was because I felt inferior to my brother and sister, but I no longer felt the same way anymore.

Anyway, I logged out first because the Mirae Guild's herding teams were not in the mood to herd either.

There was no television in my one-room studio.

However, even without a TV, it was very easy for me to access the videos of the incident because I have a computer and a cell phone.

So, I immediately accessed the Internet and confirmed that the top ten popular words in the search rankings were Taj Mahal, India Taj Mahal, monsters, monsters, poisonous moths, etc.

And when I searched Taj Mahal, the first link was a Youtube clip with the relevant video.

"Aaaaaah!"

"Damn it. What the hell are these guys!"

"Cough! Cough! I can't breathe!"

"Oh my!"

"Damn it! Get out of here!"

The scene of the place in the video was literally hell. And it was much more terrible in reality.

In particular, whenever the poison moth, belonging to the poisonous insect category, flapped its wings, it released black powder. As soon as people nearby inhaled the black powder, they grabbed their throats with both hands and fell down, screaming in pain.

As if it was so painful, they were rolling on the ground, flailing.

"..."

I never thought this kind of situation would happen in the real world because in 'Revival Legend' they could expect only a drop in their health, not extreme pain as seen in the video.

Moreover, as long as they had a certain degree of defenses with stamina, willpower, skills or items, they wouldn't suffer a lot of damage.

Anyway, the video ended, showing a much more terrible scene than I thought.

I checked a few more videos, but they were more or less the same.

Of course, the damage was not caused solely by the poison moths.

People there were desperately struggling to escape the Taj Mahal first. And the resulting stampede was also a cause for the high fatalities.

That evening at my one-room studio.

Honestly, I have been living in this place for nearly four years, but I had barely any possession.

So, I took only the 3rd generation VR device and got in the car.

Soon I arrived at my house in Cheongdam-dong.

Just like the other top business groups, Myongjin also had a subsidiary company in charge of its security. And security personnel were already on guard outside the walls of my main house.
