On the outskirts of the GAGANGJEON world, on the rooftop of an abandoned building. The wind swept across the concrete floor. A cloud of dust rose from the ruined city in the distance, carrying an ominous energy.

Niper sat leaning against the building's railing, peering through the scope of his white sniper rifle. At the end of his gaze, a group of teamers was surrounding a player who looked weak.

However, there was one problem. Among the teamers, there was one particularly large fellow holding a fairly rare item. Seeing the surrounding teamers snickering as they closed the perimeter, it looked like the weak player wouldn't last long.

Just then, a vibration rang out from Niper's pocket.

As soon as the call connected, Echo's voice flowed through the receiver. It was her usual quiet, low tone, but there was a hint of urgency in it.
