"Director Yoon, you look terrible~"

"You came? Sigh, I'm going to die. I haven't been able to get off work after the emergency."

"Morpheus was really angry this time. I thought that the operations team would struggle to keep an eye on the situation. I didn't think that even the operations director would be helpless."

"There is a high possibility that they can't make judgments without my authority, so I always have to be on standby. Well, the comforting thing is that you're in the same boat as me."

"Ahaha, I'm sure the security side is in a state of emergency."

"...President Amy, are you talking to another company now? I don't think it is time to smile."

"Sorry~ sorry. Nelson, take it easy~"

Named NPCs usually played an important role in the worldview. Force or power was an indispensable factor for them to defend their rights and maintain their roles. The reason why the power (level, etc.) of the named beings rose in proportion to the player's growth was to protect the worldview. It was right to interpret it as Morpheus' defense mechanism.

This game episode of the great human and demon war was the largest of Morpheus' defense mechanisms so far.

For the S.A Group, it was an emergency. The world might describe the S.A Group as a vicious company that tormented players using reasons such as balance, but in fact, the S.A Group was one of the most user-friendly companies in the history of the industry. The name was Satisfy because it meant 'I want to satisfy people's hopes and dreams.'

Chairman Lim Cheolho wanted the players to be happy. As an extreme example, it was touching and rewarding to see a person who couldn't walk around in reality due to a disability now running and flying freely around in Satisfy. Of course, the minds of the executives weren't as open as his. They were businessmen. Nevertheless, they also wanted people to play Satisfy more easily and happily. They wanted people to be immersed in Satisfy, produce their own content, and make Satisfy an eternal world.

Then what about this human and demon war? It was like opening the door to the apocalypse worldview. It would dramatically shorten the lifespan of Satisfy. The world where 'everyone can dream of happiness' would turn into a 'game for the chosen few.'

"I will start."

The tumultuous atmosphere in the executives meeting room at the S.A Group's headquarters quickly subsided. The reason was because Chairman Lim Cheolho entered. He seemed exhausted, as usual. As he sat down, the video started to play on the monitor.

It was a video recording of the past month (real time) of Chepardea and Agnus, who were planning a human and demon war. Only the highlights were collected, but the length of the video was quite long. They were the moments when they met with Sword Demon Zepar and King of Souls Gamigin in order to set up the human and demon war. Agnus suffered several deaths before being acknowledged by Zepar.

After Zepar and Gamigin joined, the great demons started to gather around them.

1st Great Demon, Baal, watched the situation like it was someone else's business.

Amoract, who had a weaker authority than Baal in many ways...

The main scenes of hell played quickly. Most demons were aiming at the surface so they were very cooperative in this situation. It was a difficult development for Chairman Lim Cheolho and the executives who hoped that Satisfy would become a 'world made by players.'

Still, what could they do? The time when Grid threatened the existing worldview was too early. The world still had many arrangements and Morpheus didn't want it to collapse. Thus, it caused this incident.

Morpheus was insistent. Hell needed to stay strong for the next 20 years. It was believed that the world would be able to handle the Asgard-related episodes that would occur after the fall of hell only when most players had their fifth class advancement.
