The introductory cinematic trailer was conceptually simple.
With imposing music in the background, a desolate wasteland appeared on screen.
Tap, tap.
Soon, clear footsteps rang out, and a man stood on top of a desert hill. Although his face was covered, his jet-black armor and cigarette left a powerful impression.
Next, the man spat out his cigarette and held up an assault rifle.
The camera angle then changed, showing several hundred monsters of all ranks and types rushing towards him.
Click—
A magazine clicked into the assault rifle, and the man aimed his gun forward.
From the horizon, hundreds of monsters were running towards him like a tidal wave.
However, the man faced them with a single gun.
Tudududu—
Light flashed from the assault rifle.
The bullets he fired took a mysterious course. Almost as if they were alive, they curved in all directions despite being fired in a straight line.
The man fired mercilessly. Metallic sound rang out from all the bullet casings hitting the ground, yet the man took not even a second to empty a clip and reload. The thunderous gunshot sounds never ceased.
Tudududu—
Leaving behind white trails of light, hundreds of bullets shot forward like shooting stars. This barrage of bullets completely decimated the fierce tidal wave of roaring monsters.
...Soon, the desert turned silent.
The video ended with the man sighing and looking at the camera. Shown behind him were corpses of monsters stacked up like a mountain.
"...."
Seeing the powerful ending of the video, Yoo Yeonha got goosebumps on her skin. As expected of the world's greatest mercenary group, their marketing tactic was just as spectacular.
...Of course, she had to admit that it was cringy.
But when it came to PR videos, being cringy was better than lacking.
[I just saw the cinematic trailer. My fingers and toes are curled in.]
Although the man's face was completely covered, Yoo Yeonha could tell that he was Kim Hajin.
Kim Hajin quickly replied to the message she sent.
[ ㅋㅋI just did what I was told. By the way, that's not scripted. We actually went to Africa to take it.]
[Africa?]
[Yep.]
More than half of Africa was dominated by monsters.
Although Northern Saharan countries like Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt were still under humanity's control, Southern and sub-Saharan Africa were 'human extinction zones'.
The lands there belonged to monsters with only the law of the jungle prevailing.
[Was it Northern or Southern Sahara Desert?]
[Northern, obviously. Monsters in the South are all strong.]
[I guess you're right. Ah, have you met the Monster Lord?]
Yoo Yeonha asked jokingly.
All sorts of monstrous tales came from Southern and sub-Saharan Africa. The most famous tale was the existence of a [Monster Lord].
