Yanluo didn’t waste a single second.
After patching himself up, he headed to the public park. The night was cold, empty. A pack of stray dogs loitered near the benches. Most would walk away. Not him.
He grinned wickedly and pulled out a slab of meat from the cafeteria.
“Here, boys!” he waved it teasingly, then took a bite himself. The dogs growled. He taunted them more—showing, hiding, faking throws. When they were sufficiently agitated, he shapeshifted into a nearby man’s face.
Then, he kicked one of the dogs.
They barked and lunged. Yanluo dashed straight toward the man he had copied and returned to his own face just as he passed him. The pack slammed into the innocent bystander, mauling him in confusion.

“Too easy,” he said, eyes wide with excitement.
For the next 48 hours, Yanluo didn’t sleep. Not even a minute.
He impersonated people in crowds, committed petty theft, planted evidence, and led angry mobs to innocents. He broke into dorms and swapped laundry tags, leading to fights over stolen clothes. He whispered false rumors into smart speakers. He even stole someone’s identity to harass their crush, causing public slaps and heartbreaks.
He mimicked the principal’s voice through speaker hacks and declared an impromptu expulsion list—chaos erupted in the cafeteria. He tricked a teacher into walking into a girls’ dorm by forging fake complaint messages. He fed allergy-laced snacks to students, carefully picking ones with minor but visible reactions to cause mass panic.
He faked a suicide note and placed it in a popular student’s bag, watching the rumors spread like wildfire. He rerouted a delivery of precious monster cores to the wrong address, sparking fights between dorms.

His Seeker System kept pinging.

His eyes were red. Veins bulged. But he kept going.
“Not enough. Still not enough. I need more... more pain, more chaos. Only then will I be strong enough to crush him.”
At the end of the spree—he broke into Nam Gi-tae’s locker and defiled it with trash and animal urine, then planted a device that made it seem like Gi-tae was cheating on his tests.
[SP Gained: +799 – Personal Vendetta Bonus]
Finally, at the end of 48 hours—he collapsed in his room, surrounded by wrappers, stolen wallets, and cracked energy drinks.
He opened the Store.

His head hit the wall. He couldn’t feel his hands. Couldn’t feel anything.
But as the system whispered:
[All Skills Equipped.]
then he says ,
Virtual Cube will be going to open in: 9 hours
Yanluo smiled through cracked lips.
“Let’s begin the show.”
