Somewhere in Rudera...
"OCIL..."
Akuyuham, the arc lich, flew swiftly, his entire body transformed into darkness. He was in the middle of a journey, searching for someone of his own kind—Zhang.
"Where are you, Zhang?"
Though they had never spoken, and it was only a hunch that they were alike, Zhang had become an obsession for Akuyuham.
Ding!
*Disciplinary action for abusive behavior is in progress.
*Please check the community notice for more details.
Suddenly, a system message appeared in front of Akuyuham's eyes.
"...What?"
Abuse?
Disciplinary action?
What was this nonsense?
Could it be that the GM had noticed that he'd manipulated his subordinate's status panel and entered them into the competition?
He thought his skill was flawless, undetectable even by the gods, yet the GM had noticed.
A punishment directly from the gods...
That was somewhat frightening.
Woong.
At that moment, a pitch-black circle unfolded beneath his feet.
A strong force pulled Akuyuham into the circle.
"W-wait a second!"
Akuyuham tried to float upwards, his body still darkened, but the pull from below was too strong.
"Nooooooo!"
He plunged into a deep, dark pit, falling for hours, maybe days.
After what felt like an eternity, Akuyuham realized the fall had finally stopped.
"The bottom?"
It seemed he had reached the very base of the pit.
Ding!
*For deceiving the Lord and committing heinous abuse, an eternal punishment would be too merciful. However, out of the Lord's grace, you are being given a chance. Prove yourself worthy.
"...?"
This message was different from the usual system windows.
It felt as if someone had written it with free will.
Akuyuham felt uneasy.
'Is this a message from one of the GM's servants?'
Of course, he had no way of knowing that the artificial intelligence, the Guide, who had written the message, had its own personal intentions.
Ding!
*You are on the 7th floor of the Tower of the Labyrinth, in the rogue-like dimension. Complete the quests faithfully.
*The logout function is disabled until you clear the quest.
Flash!
The moment Akuyuham finished reading the system window, a bright light blinded his hollow eyes.
Ding!
*Quest: Reach the Sanctuary of the Divine.
*Rogue-like specification: Abilities are limited.
