Overgeared

Agnus had used a skill in real life...

Lauel seemed pretty serious about this, which meant that he had personally seen Agnus do that or had evidence of it.

“The asteroid hasn’t even fallen yet. Are things like this happening already?”

Grid shook his head and limbs to try to calm down after hearing such shocking news. He could feel the sweat on his back slowly drying.

[Whisper from Lauel: I was also very confused. I thought this would only happen once Ghamid fell, since it could cause ecological changes and many other things.]

“Can anyone else other than Agnus do this?”

[Whisper from Lauel: No. I only know about Agnus...]

“The skill that Agnus used exists in Satisfy, right?”

[Whisper from Lauel: Yes, according to what I saw from the video, it was a basic skill of a necromancer—the art of controlling the bones of animals buried in the ground.]

“We have no choice but to doubt the S.A. Group’s intentions, just as Nathaniel said. I’m sure they did something to the capsule.”

People who had never attended a taekwondo school in their lives happened to become martial artists after playing Satisfy. This led to many conspiracy theories. Society was convinced that players could reproduce in reality the techniques they had mastered in Satisfy.

But using a skill in real life? This was a real problem. This wasn’t something that people could do in real life, so it was proof that this was the result of someone’s meddling, and that someone had to be the S.A. Group. Nathaniel’s theory that the S.A. Group was training players in preparation for Ghamid made even more sense now.

‘The key materials needed to make capsules are provided by the S.A. Group...’

Yura’s grandfather, the chairman of the Comet Group, had said the same thing as Nathaniel. He said that companies which produced capsules must follow the guidelines of the S.A. Group no matter what. The core materials of the capsules were also provided by the S.A Group’s headquarters.

“Should I contact the S.A. Group directly?”

Grid had chairman Lim Cheolho’s contact information. Not even the president of the United States had that.

However, Lauel refused.

[Whisper from Lauel: I can’t tell whether the culprit behind this incident is Chairman Lim Cheolho, Morpheus, or someone else from the S.A. Group. You shouldn’t contact him until we know for sure who is causing this.]

Worst case scenario, the S.A Group could be helping the players become stronger not to save the world from Ghamid, but to inflict harm upon it… Maybe they were trying to conquer Earth by bringing the monsters from Satisfy’s into reality, but then an error occurred, and players ended up with special abilities instead.

Grid had zoned out. He came back to his senses.
